dream fragment

Ok today is still August 30th, and I usually don't put up 2 dream journal posts in one day because I never take naps. BUT today I took a nap and I had a very strange first FULLY AWARE dream/SP state I think. Ok so here it goes:

I took a nap today, so I was sleeping and I completely forget what was going on in my dream but I remember hearing the sound of cars going by like it was some kind of city setting... Then I heard a voice and first it said "I am dreaming.." very faintly. Then I looked around because it was kind of strange..then I observed my surroundings and then I said to myself "I am dreaming..?" Then I yelled "OMG I'm DREAMING!!!" that moment that I found out I was dreaming, my heart sped up really fast and then the sound of cars passing by just completely vanished and EVERYTHING shutdown like everything went COMPLETELY black. I tried to move but i couldnt! So i was like ok I want to hear the ocean! I couldn't really hear the ocean so nothing really happened. When everything went completely black, there was no sound and my heart was racing so I think I was half asleep. And I could feel my body felt like I was in the ocean like I felt waves hitting under my body like i was drifting and floating in the sea..omg so cool...then I tried imagining the end of my last dream. I had no control but it was FREAKEN AWESOME. Just the feeling that I was FULLY aware and I KNEW I was dreaming was INCREDIBLE. Even tho everything was pitch black...and then my dad woke me up for dinner....

My conscience was fully aware. Although I couldn't see anything I fully knew that I was in a dream. I had no control, but it was a start !!!

August 25th 2010,


Note to reader: I tried the wake induced lucid dream technique and I just fell asleep. It was strange how quickly it happened. Anyways, as I tried staying still this morning at 5 AM, I repeated to myself, "I am sleeping, I am in a lucid dream." That way when I entered my dream, I would know that I was sleeping. Funny thing is; It didn't quite turn out that way.



First Dream (Non-lucid):

Like any other dream I had, this one had a story to it. It took place where I live, but also parts of it took place in the middle of nowhere. For example my house was very very far away from where I normally live. It was the first day of school, and I went to my regular high school. I was going into all my classes and I saw one of my real life friends Hugh, several times in my "classes". In real life I have no classes with him this year, I know this because we recieve our schedules 2 weeks before school starts. Anyways my mind made up another dream character named Ashley, and she was very good looking. So I remember going to all my classes, then going to lunch, then for some reason during lunch I noticed I was wearing shin guards and high socks..then I looked back down and I was wearing cleats too. AND I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS A DREAM?? So before I went to my next class me and my friend Hugh went to the lockerroom. In my school, the lockerroom is several hallways away from the lunch room. But in my dream it was across from the lunch room. We went in and I asked hugh and one of my friends Marcos who was there in the lockerroom,"Should I do soccer this year?". No response. I went to my gym class and there again was Hugh and Ashley. Both of them were in my gym class too. The gym teacher was my gym teacher from 5th grade. And she told everyone to go outside. They all went outside, including the teacher. Suddenly I felt extremely strange..and I fainted.

Second Dream (Non-lucid):

The perspective was 3rd person. I was watching myself. Weirdly enough, I wasn't myself. I was some other guy that I had seen on a YouTube video last night before going to bed. And usually in every dream I have a power..but in this dream there was something wrong with me. I woke back up in the gym/locker room. The same one I had fainted in, from my previous dream. I teleported outside to see if I missed the bus home, because I expected that I had fainted and stayed unconcious all the way through school. I missed the bus. I started teleporting, closer and closer to my house in real life, then I changed route for some reason. I kept teleporting then I just started walking. All of the sudden an old man in a car asked me, "Hey do you need a ride?" I turned around and kept walking. He started following me. And then I started running. I got home and my mother wasn't my mother. I fainted again.

Third Dream (Non-lucid):

All of the sudden I wake up in my bed, in this strange new house of mine. the house looked kind of like my house now which is long horizontally, and is yellow. But in the dream it went up vertically and it was red.


Kind of like this except WAY taller.

Inside the house was also very different. It looked old..very old. All of the sudden the old man appeared infront of me. He told me why I was fainting. He told me that everytime I wake up and suspect that I am lucid dreaming, that I will fall asleep immediately. I walked out of my room. Now I was a monster.. I was a 3 headed moonkin from World of Warcraft.



I kept getting the feeling that I was going to faint. So everytime I did, I said to myself, "I am sleeping. I am in a lucid dream". And I said this without even knowing what I was saying, because I didn't know I was in a dream, I just knew that everytime I said that phrase, that the feeling that I was going to faint went away. Then the YouTube dream character from my previous dream appeared. He tried to kill me. We faught for about 5 minutes and we ended up in my basement. I forget how, but I defeated him. Then I fainted AGAIN!

Fourth Dream (Non-lucid):

Everyone in town had a nickname for me. I forget what it was now, but I was like the infamous monster of the town. And every once in a while I would remember what the old man said, so whenever I saw something scary I would say to myself "I am sleeping. I am in a lucid dream." and it would go away. The man I defeated showed up once but then I made him go away and I never saw him again. Now this time my dream took place in the Mage Tower of the game Dragon Age.



I was no longer a monster and now I was dreaming in 1st person. I was an apprentice spellcaster and the regular people were there (Hugh and Ashley, etc.). This time my friend Joey came up to me and he said, "You know how you said that Ashley girl likes you? Well I think she does because she's been staring at you all class and I saw it myself." and I said really? And I looked over at her. All of the sudden I was back at home on my facebook and Ashley commented on one of my statuses and she said "Oh Lucas, its so cute how you have your little lucid dreams." And yet again I fainted.

Fifth and Last Dream (Non-lucid):

I woke up again in the Mage Tower and then the Tower was under attack and my teacher who was an old woman told everyone to get ready for a fight. And that's all I remember. I woke up this morning at noon.

Conclusion:

Apparently all my dreams tonight were based off of lucid dreaming, but I didn't actually lucid dream ONCE the whole time. I think every time I began to realize that I was in a dream, I "fainted" like the old man in my dream told me. This has been my most vivid dream so far. Also somewhere in my dream I remember that I was holding a brand like for branding cows. And the brand said "Awakening" or "Awaken" and I was branding my pillow in the dream...I have no idea what this means. Awesome dreams tonight though. It was honestly amazing even though I wasn't lucid.
