    Non-Lucid Dreams

    1. #12 - New Trivium - 04/05/2020

      by , 05-04-2020 at 01:52 PM (Dream Journal)
      Had an awful lot of trouble recalling anything, but I picked out the most recent fragment before ending my dream cycle.

      Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

      I'm walking through what appears to be a train, but with some rooms being as large as ones you'd find in a house. I'm blasting out a new Trivium song that sounds like power metal, something that this band doesn't typically do. I was impressed by the vocals. I believe some schoolmates were involved.

      Possible recurring elements:
      -Matt Heafy
      -Schoolmates

      Notes:
      -Second dream in a row featuring Matt Heafy from Trivium
      -I vaguely remember schoolmates being a part of this. Would not be surprised if true
    2. #11 - Shopping Trip - 03/05/2020

      by , 05-04-2020 at 01:48 PM (Dream Journal)
      Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

      I start off on a bus with old classmates, heading out on a school trip. I have various conversations that I couldn't recall, probably nonsense, until we arrive at out destination - a shopping centre similar to the one in my city, only slightly different. The teacher told us as we got off the bus that we could go home at 12:15pm if we happen to get lost/separated from the group. Immediately as the group leaves, I fall behind but soon catch up in the food hall, and get some destination information from the teacher assistant. I look on google maps and it points to a city 45 minutes away by car. I ignore it and go my own way to get KFC. I find myself back at the entrance of the shopping centre, this time with the other students, who are sitting down in some kind of lesson outside. I decide to play Spelunky for a little bit, with Matt Heafy from Trivium assigned to protect me for some reason. A large lantern falls off a post right next to me, startling us. I pick the lantern up and cut myself, causing my finger to bleed. I felt the pain as I carried the massive lantern into the shopping centre to give to security. I pass it to someone and he puts it on top of a wardrobe to look at later. I head back to class and decide to help an illiterate student learn to use a keyboard. This keyboard, however, is totally nonsensical, with some keys being labelled as simply "ooooo" and various punctuation. I get scolded by the teacher for not paying attention, but answer all of her questions correctly and brag about doing so on Facebook. Soon after, I draw a really childish caterpillar in MS Paint but have trouble filling the shape in with green, and eventually wake up.

      Possible recurring elements:
      -Spelunky
      -Schoolmates
      -Bus
      -Local city

      Notes:
      -Second Spelunky dream, I've been playing almost daily for the last couple weeks. Ref. Dream #8
      -Yet another dream involving schoolmates on a bus. Ref. Dream #1 and #2. I've noticed in some of my later 2012 DJ entries, I commented how the school dreams were returning. Seems like this has been an element for years
      -First dream in the local city, but a local area nonetheless
    3. #10 - Falling Tower - 02/05/2020

      by , 05-04-2020 at 01:34 AM (Dream Journal)
      Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

      I start at work, having an argument with my sister. Nothing in particular, she's just mad at me for whatever reason my brain decided to generate. We're arguing outside, where it's dark but active with people. She sends some disgusting, bald, mutated horses after me, but I escape and lock myself inside the warehouse - the door being notably different than in real life. My sister and I decide to have a contest to settle the score, and a big black guy ripped straight out of Bayonetta escorts us to a neighbourhood, still night time. I get in a car and immediately crash it into a house, where I get out and run into a nearby forest with a very familiar layout. Now I am with an old 2012 friend I had from here, walking with flashlights through the dark forest pathway. We spot movement on a bridge that seems to be 2-3 bears of varying fur colours. They leave and we move on. Finally at the end, now daytime, I see a large house on its own that now belongs to me. There's a rich kid sprinting around it in circles, he seems familiar from my last dream also themed around contests. In the distance, down a very long road, a radio/electricity tower stands. After some vague discussion, it falls over, and we head over to investigate. Somehow, we pull it back up but it falls back over.

      Though very hazy, I think I recall more competitions at the previous house.


      Possible recurring elements:
      -Local forest
      -Work
      -Family
      -Competition

      Notes:
      -Same forest path as Dream #6
      -Work and family, two pretty standard occurrences
      -Two dreams back to back with competitions of some sort

    4. #9 - Contest - 01/05/20

      by , 05-02-2020 at 12:10 AM (Dream Journal)
      Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

      This dream starts with me walking with some people out of my local forest and towards my old school just outside of it, where a kid is skateboarding up a single, large ramp. I seem to predict that things will go wrong, almost like a moment of non-lucid dream control, and by no surprise, the kid slips over. He smacks his face really hard on the ground, there is no blood or signs of injury but he's screaming really horribly and desperately. It was a pretty grim scene, causing me and the people with me to back up towards the forest. We head back to the scene and everything seems normal again, the kid is skating and he has a woman standing with a flag near the ramp. This time, the kid reveals the whole thing is a trick in order to distract, but I couldn't make any sense of it. He performs the accident again and someone else appears behind me. The kid and I mutually propose some kind of contest, which we soon depart on.

      The next area is similar to Skyrim and Minecraft in some elements, mostly Skyrim, as usual. It was a sky complex above the clouds, with everything made of stone like a castle. It seemed our contest was a race to gather something, or perhaps kill something within this fortress. I run across a bridge among many, fighting a wraith-like entity on my way, and across a few more bridges until I reached a small separate building. Inside, the visuals turned more towards the Minecraft style, but this section is a it hazy. On the way out, I hear an announcement about three prize winners for a separate contest themed around drums, hosted by a metal drummer. He has a small speech and reads out some names, to which none respond to claim their prize. I think about claiming the prize myself and the dream ends.


      Possible recurring elements:
      -Local area
      -Skyrim

      Notes:
      -The same forest from my lucid in #5, as well as the same school from #7
      -Skyrim elements again, I've already begun reality checking while playing

    5. #8 - Runescape Quest - 30/04/2020

      by , 05-01-2020 at 09:15 PM (Dream Journal)
      Forgot to post yesterday, was too busy trying to develop a reality check habit on Skyrim so I could get potential lucids on 90% of my dreams

      Awake|Dreaming|Lucid


      This dream starts with me playing a weird version of Final Fantasy, seems to be mostly close to V, but with random, nonsensical characters. I'm taking the party through a stone fortress in a black void, then not much is clear after that. Eventually, after things I can't recall, I find myself in a Runescape graveyard, talking to some people about a quest which involves using a flame gauntlet. I spend some time in the graveyard and surrounding areas fighting monsters in hopes to get some required gear drops for the quest. I then go into a mine, and it becomes a Spelunky-style gameplay. I drop down a few levels until I see a blue disc hidden behind a wall, which then becomes real-life visuals again. I pick the disc up and identify it as one of four discs I need for some Goddess quest.

      I move further along and end up in my bedroom, with a very old furniture layout from many years ago. I search my old wardrobe for quest items relating to the disc and the previous gear situation, but get distracted by something. I have a false awakening, and wake up with a friend of mine in my bed. He keeps making fun of English accents an I join him in doing so, then he squeezes my stomach extremely hard to make the sound funnier. He vanishes when I am yet again distracted, this time by a facebook post from 2 week ago. I see someone insulting my girlfriend on it, so I tell them to "die in Bravil".

      The people then argue amongst themselves and I continue searching my wardrobe for items.


      Possible dream elements:
      -Local area

      Notes:
      -My own house for local areas this time, though nothing much else
      -I've been playing Spelunky lately, might want to keep an eye on this

    6. #7 - Strange Job - 29/04/2020

      by , 04-29-2020 at 11:53 PM (Dream Journal)
      Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

      This one was very tough to recall, I had woken up and fallen asleep twice, and for a few hours, after having this dream and managed to keep the pieces of the dream in the back of my head. Pretty impressed with how it came out

      I start off at work, everything seems pretty regular, things I have experienced while awake in my daily life at my job. I'm getting more orders down than I typically like, but it happens. These orders are for industrial grade batteries that I ship out on small pallets to replace the ones in the machines we sell. I tell my manager I can't keep up with it and that it isn't safe for me to lift this many batteries on my own. I decide to leave the warehouse, which has a slightly different layout, and into the yard outside. I'm with a group of people, who I believe to be the main cast from a movie I watched recently. For some weird reason we start having semi-digital, almost holograph type Pokemon battles with bug catchers. They're like 2D sprites projected and animated into real life in a very weird but somehow natural way. I experience a loop of the same animation of this fat Hiker-type Pokemon NPC, until we move on. We travel through a Skyrim-like plains landscape, with small ponds and giant mudcrabs, which we fight. We also fought a giant yellow Pokemon, with a very vague form that I can't wrap my head around.

      After this, I head back to work, except the layout is the reception corridor from my secondary school many years ago. The office ladies of my job are there, sitting on white chairs and giving me fetch tasks. I was given the task to retrieve a bag from a hotel, which I headed over to. It was a massive shopping centre-esque building, like a holiday resort hotel. I managed to get the bag from a massive wall with nothing but doors on it. I call out for the owner of the bag, but I get no response, and deem the bag noncollectable. I place it on a smoking post and move on deeper into the resort, where I find myself in a separate guest-room area with my family at a table eating together in celebration. Most notably, my step brother shows me something video game related, perhaps Pokemon. I decide not to join and instead go further into the building, feeling as if I was there to meet someone. A boy came down some stairs and there were a couple of other people in the small, caravan-sized room. I think I discussed something relevant to the bag I put down earlier.

      Moving on from this, I found myself walking down a familiar shopping centre, where I then woke up not too long after.


      Possible dream elements:
      -Work
      -Family
      -Skyrim
      -Local area - School

      Notes:
      -I can perform reality checks at work to make this an easy one, though first of its kind since I started this series
      -Family, step brother in particular, but no bottled up anger involved this time
      -Skyrim yet again, 100% a recurring element for me. Playthrough definitely needed soon
      -Another local area in my dream, worth keeping an eye on, but first time I've dreamed of being on school grounds. I have dreamt several times in the last week of students I attended with, though

    7. #6 - Thief and Escape - 28/04/2020

      by , 04-28-2020 at 07:37 PM (Dream Journal)
      Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

      The dream starts with me sneaking around a set of Skyrim-themed stairs, of which I go up and into a building, also vaguely Skyrim themed. I avoid various guards and I go inside a separate room, where an old, dying man rests in his chair. I steal something from the drawers and alert the cards, then escape the room and outside the building where the stairs are. A guard at the staircase attacks me, I run back inside and hide, where I meet two friendly people - a man and a woman. The woman resembled Delphine from Skyrim. They help me fight the guards around the room I stole from, and we kill a guard firing arrows from atop a wall. Soon after, a large group of maybe a dozen or so varying types of people, presumably the main enemy force of this building, march around the corner from behind the wall with the archer, and I run away as the two friendly people stay and fight. There is a brown-skinned girl among the enemy group who I seem to have some kind of romantic connection to.

      I make my way far out of the area and into a forest with a path cutting through. There are fields behind fences on each side of the forest, with trees and bushes between the path and fences. I sneak through the bushes as the large group of enemies march through in search of me. Nearby, I see two dog-like creatures, which run past me and join forces with the enemy group. I continue sneaking in the bushes, following the enemies, when suddenly the brown-skinned girl from before jumps through the bushes to scare me. I jump back but immediately find myself extremely happy to see her, she kisses me and leaves.

      Not long after, the view changes into what appears to be an RTS game, similar to Age of Empires II. My troops are fighting a much larger army and losing, my forces wipe a group out but are then swarmed by a massive purple blob and I lose. I end the dream trying and failing to upgrade my samurai.


      Possible recurring elements:
      -Skyrim
      -Sneaking
      -Local forest

      Notes:
      -Skyrim has been a foundation for many of my dreams over the past few years. The sneaking aspect is from my very recent thief/sneak playthrough of Skyrim, and has been present in a couple over the last couple of weeks, most notably in my lucid from last night (Dream #5)
      -I might play another Skyrim sneak build soon to help form a reality check habit. Should be very easy considering how common and accessible this element is
      -The forest is very similar to a forest nearby to my house, but not the same as in Dream #5.
      -My recall is improving very rapidly after coming back to my dream journal format, which is apparent in the length of the text I type. I am almost clearing entire pages in my notebook

    8. #4 - Vampire Warehouse + Skyrim - 26/04/2020

      by , 04-27-2020 at 08:51 PM (Dream Journal)
      Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

      I spent a while recalling this one, extracted a fair bit more than usual.

      I'm in an unfamiliar city, with a hotel across the road. In the near distance, just up a small hill, there is a warehouse with coffins stacked outside. A weird man invites me to follow him into the nearby hotel, which I accept. He goes first, and pokes his head out of the very top window. I head up there and upon arrival, I look outside the window and see that the coffins in the distance are empty - with some workers moving them. Within seconds, a swarm of vampires of wildly varying aesthetics fly around the top floor of this hotel building, which is now large and open like a warehouse. Many guards, presumably from the opposing warehouse, fight the vampires in an Oblivion-like fight. I decide to join the vampires, and I head down some stairs and out of the building, where I find myself fighting an Argonian female on a path near the city of Windhelm in Skyrim. I win the fight.

      Possible recurring elements:
      -Vampires
      -Skyrim
      -Sneaking

      Notes:
      -Second vampire dream out of 4

    9. #3 - Insults - 25/04/2020

      by , 04-27-2020 at 08:33 PM (Dream Journal)
      Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

      I have a false awakening, perhaps not the start of the dream due to being very hazy. My immediate thought was "nah I didn't have any dreams". I start complaining about things, to which my step brother, staying the night in my room, tells me that he's pretty tired of my whining. In response, I hurl all kinds of insults from my bottled up anger.

      I couldn't recall anything after that, probably for the best.

      Possible recurring elements:
      -Family
      -Anger, bottled up feelings

      Notes:
      -Bottle up feelings seems to be something that carries over from reality, I may be able to use this to form a good reality check habit

    10. #2 - Serial Killer House - 24/04/2020

      by , 04-27-2020 at 08:21 PM (Dream Journal)
      Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

      The dream (potentially, as far as my recall can acquire) starts with me waiting in my local town with old school friends, very similarly to the previous dream. We are waiting for buses, which follow no particular time schedule. The journeys involve random conversations with people I went to school with. The bus always ends up at the spot it picked us up from. Upon exiting the bus for the third time, I hear a cry for help in a nearby, horror movie-esque house, which I go inside and investigate. A woman is laying in a sack, tied up next to a wardrobe - I free her and she reveals to me that she is a vampire. She isn't harmful, but we hear a noise that we believe to be the owner of a house. The vampire says he is a serial killer and likely the one that kidnapped her.

      The dream ends here.

      Possible recurring elements:
      -Vampires
      -Old classmates, school
      -Local city centre

      Notes:
      -Two local area + schoolmate dreams in a row

    11. #1 - Movie Village - 23/04/2020

      by , 04-27-2020 at 07:39 PM (Dream Journal)
      First of all, this is my first post in years. Decided to keep old posts but start from #1 for my recent dream journal. Below is a colour code format to help identify the points of lucidity and which is a regular dream point.

      Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

      The dream starts in my local riverside village, with a group of who I think were students went to school with. We were approached by a man who would talk about movie trailers, and would show us various ones. Eventually, traits of the movie trailer would merge in with the surroundings - a child-size car driven by two small darkskin elf-like people sped by, crashing into nearby objects. Chaos ensued, as the trailer man mentioned a lack of ice cream was causing issues in the village. Not long after, the group and I headed over to an ice cream stall and worked a shift to provide the people with blue ice cream.

      As far as my recall goes, this is where the dream ends.

      Possible recurring elements:
      -Old classmates, school
      -Local village

      Notes:
      -Not much I can utilise here, but it's a start
      -I have been to the local village before in dreams

    12. Joey's Blog. September 12th 2012.

      by , 09-27-2012 at 01:51 PM (Dream Journal)
      Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

      Been a while since I typed any dreams up.

      I was on Neopets, talking to JoeyBelgier about something. He started to get angry at me, which made me confused. I replied to him, trying to apologize for whatever I had done. I then found myself at school, talking to Joey. I can't remember anything other than random blog scenes in my head.

      The school dreams are coming back.

    13. Raiding a Fortress. September 11th 2012.

      by , 09-15-2012 at 11:54 AM (Dream Journal)
      Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

      Recall wasn't good, but I got 2 recorded down.

      I was at a building, which looked like a fortress or something. The walls were white and the whole area was pretty much a country. There were vast fields and a couple of trees around the area. It seemed so empty, so I decided to go inside. I climbed up the right wall and found a well shaped hole. I feel down and landed in an elevator, next to a woman. She started to hit me so I jumped up and tried to push her off the side as the elevator started. It went up (which makes no sense, because I cam from the roof...) and I struggled to fight this woman. I suddenly knew about this scene from somewhere else, but I don't think I have seen this before. Maybe Déjà vu. I punched her in the jaw, then she fell back and got crushed by the rising elevator platform. Her flesh and skin was ripped off and a bloody skeleton was just rattling on the side. Very brutal. After a couple of seconds, the elevator reached the top and I exited out of a little hatch to the left. It was like an air vent or something. I crawled through some pipes and saw a room, with weird claws coming out of the walls. I went past it, the crawled through the entrance to this room. I found a Skyrim healing potion, which looked trapped. Instead of stepping on the floor, I stepped on some boxes just in case. I picked up the potion and crawled back to the pipe. I then headed outside, coming out from the well that I climbed down. I jumped off of the wall and landed on the floor safely. In the distance was a girl, who looked pretty evil. There were people fighting her, so I thought I would help. The girl had blonde hair, a pink dress and she was rather small. I ran over to her and she started to run away from everyone, really fast. I then had a flashback of Super Mario trying to catch Princess Peach. From this point on, the girl was named Peach. Soon, the girl disappeared and a guy in a small Lego car drove out. Everyone was chasing him and I managed to find a car, which I chased him in. I kept crashing but this guy managed to drop kick him out of the car and everyone ran up to him. I had another flashback, but of Bowser talking to someone in a dark room.

      This dream was pretty vivid but hard to remember.

    14. Talking to Lynn Thompson. September 9th 2012.

      by , 09-11-2012 at 08:35 PM (Dream Journal)
      Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

      This is one of them "OH I HAVE AN AWESOME ITEM!" -wake up- "Oh..." type of dreams.

      I was in school, lurking about in the corridors, with some friends. Can't quite remember who they were though. I was holding a really cool katana, with a red handle. The blade was slightly serrated, making it look even more awesome, it was really light and easy to handle too. I looked around and saw this guy run out from the corner of the corridor. He looked like he was a zombie or something. For some reason, I looked at him ready to attack, but put my sword away and said that he wasn't a zombie. He just stood there staring at the wall from this point on. I turned back around an walked into one of the classrooms, only to see Lynn Thompson from cold steel knives. It was cool how I had a sword on me at the time. He was sat behind a table full of cold steel weapons like axes, swords, knives, machetes. I showed him my weapon, he said nothing, I said nothing and I just turned away and spoke to myself. Nice one! I turned back around and noticed that Lynn was actually a DJ, playing death metal. Everyone on the dance floor was playing invisible instruments in time to the song. I believe the song was "The Absence - Wartorn". I then walked over to my family, seeing people at tables eating as if it was a restaurant and a metal club. I started playing an invisible guitar, making myself look like a complete dick. I guess it was okay because everyone (about 30 people) were doing it too. I went outside and started running around the building with my sword. It seemed like I was chasing a group of nuns D:. After running around a few times, I stopped at the entrance and inside was a restaurant, with people sat mainly outside. This old lady asked me to change her food order. It was a spicy dish, but she didn't want it spicy . I walked into the building and then the dream started to fade.

      It was very vivid but made no sense and was a bitch to recall.

    15. Creepypasta-Style Swords. September 8th 2012.

      by , 09-09-2012 at 02:49 PM (Dream Journal)
      Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

      September has been great for dreams so far! I hope to do the TotM challanges soon.

      I was at home with my mum. We were in the living room talking about how a ghost was in someone's house. I kept having, what seemed like, premonitions of someone being killed by a ghost. The ghost was a small girl, with black hair. She kept throwing these two people out of a window on the second floor. My mum went into the porch and i saw some gladius swords in the kitchen. They ranged in sizes. I picked them all up only to be frustrated. They were made of stainless steel, the material used to make spoons and stuff. I carried them over to the dinner table in the living room. I pulled the plastic wrapper from one of the swords (the biggest one, obviously) and noticed a note fall out. I read the notes and it was related to the ghost visions. I had another premonition of a man being thrown out the window by a girl. These swords must be cursed or something. I ignored the note and walked outside, only to see something weird. The sky was blood red, there were dark bushes everywhere and a big stone cave. A typical creepypasta setting. I read another note, but ignored it without a vision. My house had disappeared behind me and I walked towards the cave. I still had the big gladius with me, so I felt safe to go in. The dungeon was full of red and black rocks. There was also a red mist lingering in the air, making it feel scary and dangerous. To the left, not that far into the cave, was a big stone tablet. The tablet had a picture of an octopus on it. My dream guide came out and told me that I needed to kill this octopus with an electric spell, located at the end of the cave. Luckily, the cave wasn't that big, so I could walk to the end in minutes. I reached the end and this fairy popped out and gave me a scroll. I suddenly knew how to use the spell my dream guide told me to use. I headed back to the tablet and used the spell. In seconds, I was suddenly a character from final fantasy, along with 3 other people. We were fighting the octopus tablet, in a final fantasy battle style. The octopus hit us with a huge water blast and our health bars hit 1. We were all on the floor, losing hope as we were almost dead. Suddenly, I was in first person, on my side on the floor. I was looking at the cave entrance, losing vision slowly. I noticed that the cave entrance was shrouded in a thick white fog. I saw a man walk through the cave and I felt relieved, we were saved! I woke up shortly after.

      Very odd and scary . I'm on a streak with the fantasy dreams, which happen to be the best dreams. All of them are vivid and they feel so real.
