dream fragment

Waking Thoughts/Dream/Lucid

Past few nights have been out of the ordinary, so my sleep schedule is wrecked again. Seems to be a common theme for me. Anyways here a few bits of information I have managed to remember.

Yesterday:
I was at another house. It was going to be mine, but certain family issues prevented it. There were some people there that I never met before that were cleaning up the place. All I remember doing was explaining what needed to be done and what the past plans were. The house was in a state of heavy disrepair. Much like when the project was first started. I recall talking to a few kids there that were going to mow the lawn. Not all that much happened until I woke up and had to get ready for work.

Today:
Again more fragments, but I'll write what I can. I was at my grandmothers house. Sort of. The place seemed to be fused with other places in past dreams. I tend to get these feelings a lot. I recall that a couple friends were there, one of them being an online friend from a video game I like to play. Alan was gone on some sort vacation in Europe, and I wanted to know how that went. He of course said it was a blast and had a lot of fun. Next I met another friend, Irving. He was going on about wanting to go to space and kept talking about some crazy plans. He eventually trailed off and talked about space movies and animation.

That's the gist of what I can recall the past few days. I will try to be more vigilant in keeping my dream journal up to date every day.
On a side note, I have recently purchased a new nexus 7 tablet. Anyone suggest some good LD apps?

Waking Thoughts/Dream/ Lucid

So it's another off day for me. I sorta stayed up too late and threw off my sleep schedule a bit. Not a lot recalled and got a bit lazy this morning and did not write much down. I'll fix that tomorrow.

I am in some sort of car lot with a few empty car shops scattered about. Not too sure what happened, but I recall complaining that we were not selling something... All I managed to write down last night at about 04:40 was: "Car lot and not sell cars?" Yeah, not a lot to go off of.

Later in the morning I am at a horse stable. Which in of itself is strange since I NEVER see any horses. I recall getting on one and riding it around for a little bit before waking up. Yeah, not the most eventful dreams. Tomorrow should be better since I will get back on my regular sleep schedule. Since I have been working on my recall, I was thinking it's about time to work on getting lucid. Will type more later.

Well, tonight I only recall a few fragments. Maybe not even fragments, but ideas. I will list as much detail as possible. I wake up at around 4:30 to an alarm I set. I wake up thinking it's time to get ready, but realized I still have two and a half hours till I gotta get ready. At the time I recalled bits of a dream I guess I started to have, but I got lazy and did not write anything down. I fell back asleep and find myself waking up at 7:00. The only memories I can salvage are: Donuts, a doctor for some reason, I think there may have been some driving segments, maybe a restaurant, and while sitting here thinking I believe I talked to someone other than family. If I remember any more, Ill write it down.

Before going to bed last night, I did not properly prepare myself. I was just too tired and crashed fast. I don't think I even tried any auto suggestion mantras or even simple dream incubation. I am off tomorrow, so I will try to be a bit more relaxed and go to bed at a decent time.

EDIT:
Took a hour and a half nap after work today, and managed to have a dream around 20:00. I was working at some sort of apartment complex that looked almost like a hotel. I believe the walls were red or some sort of warm color. I was helping a lady move her belongings into a room when her children dropped something and made a mess. I was helping clean up ( I can't remember what it was) when I noticed a medium sized crt tv with Mythbusters showing. The dream change shifted to where I was not there, but still passively watching. Kari was for some reason being kicked out of that very complex I was working at, but doing a myth at the same time. Some sort of stomach related myth, and stuck in the bathroom. She could not come out, because the Midnight Crew were in front of the door singing a song. They were slightly different having normal skin and some sort of face paint. Not long after this I woke up.

The dream began with normal stuff at work that I can't quite remember. Obviously it was not all that exciting. Later that night, my father took my brother an I to Sonic (the fast food restaurant) to get some chocolate malts. During this visit, he insists on blaring some music; Though I can't quite remember what the song was. It was not too long before i woke up and got ready for another day...

Woke up this morning and could not recall much of anything. The last thing I remember, I was talking with a coworker asking him what my dream was about. He said, "I don't know man, the last thing I remember is a boat or something." He was right, the only words that came to my head this morning was a boat of some sort or an industrial area. Still, better than nothing.

The first dream was Minecraft related. Strange, seeing as I don't play it much any more... I remember we had built a world and that there were a ton of monsters. One of them was buggy, and kept crashing the game. Although the dream was in the game, the scenery never changed too much, even if it was crashing. Not too much happened other than finding the buggy enemies and blowing them up with TNT.

The second dream was a bit different. The location was at home and it was nighttime. I remember seeing Travis, Mom, and Dad mostly. I do not remember too much of what happened, but here are the important events in order of least to most interesting. In the first event in this dream, I remember filling a bath tub to take a bath. Even if I like taking showers instead. And I remember our kittens jumping in the tub and playing underwater for some reason. I kept trying to get them out, but they kept jumping back in. It was kinda weird since it looked like they were trying to drown themselves.

The second event was that Mom and Dad had found a drawing on the back of one of their fans. It said: "I was here. M-a-d-n-e-s-s" with a drawing of a cartoon character underneath. The weird thing was that the drawing seemed familiar, as if I had drawn it in a previous dream a long time ago.

The last, and most important event took place in a dark room in the house. I remember hearing a voice compelling me to come in. Once I was in, I recall seeing a glowing clock in the room that was incomplete. I don't remember exactly what color, however. The voice guided me through the process of finishing the pendulum. Once I finished it and attached it, something was happening. Something important. But before I could figure it out, I got distracted by those cats jumping into the bath tub. I am starting to like these sort of dreams. Very strange, but feeling that the event taking place is important. Here's hoping to more dreams like this.

Been out of the loop for a long time, decided to try my hand at lucid dreaming again. Maybe this will help me have lucid dreams? I will copy and paste entries from Liquid Dream III here from now on. Last night/ this morning I had several dreams that I don't think were connected, maybe they were, but they seemed like fragments. This is my first major post, so here's hoping my strange subconscious will be accepted here.

The first one the setting was at some sort of old, one story building, pretty cramped, and was jam-packed with computers. I am not sure what their function or purpose was, but I remember it being important. One of the things that stuck out was a flight simulator, that to be honest, was sort of out of place. Perhaps it was employee stress relief? The building was divided into many rooms separated by glass walls with automatic sliding doors. A recurring color I recall seeing was beige and black. I do not remember too much more as I either woke up or the dream faded into the next one.

The second fragment was the strangest. It seemed to have an important atmosphere and seemed a bit darker, both atmosphere and the hue of the dream. I don't remember too much as there is heavy fragmentation. The important thing is I had a computer running a strange program. Either life support for a strange creature I was trying to keep alive or some other purpose. I can't remember. I do, however, recall being very diligent and keeping an eye on it almost constantly. Later, after events I cannot recall, I returned to where this was running. And found the creature, who was this giant (ancient?) spider like creature that was slightly humanoid, in what seemed suspended in a huge void. Everything was black except the monster. It was as if the room that held the equipment had been transported into another dimension. I remember it had an important role, and did not fear it. I remember it saying that it had grown to great stature, as I recall I was only a speck compared to it, however it saying that I was just as powerful as it somehow. Maybe talking about the fact that I can do anything in a dream? I am not sure what it's purpose was, maybe I will try to seek it again once I am able to accomplish lucid dreaming.

The third dream I had was strange as well, as it involved some sort of video game and me trying to find the name of this really cool video. In the video game section, I had to destroy the 'core' of some sort of mechanism. I think I have seen it somewhere in waking life, but I cannot remember. I was shooting at various exposed pillars decorated with strange writing that was multicolored. Although at some point I think I stopped playing for some reason. Probably to find that video. I don't think anything else happened afterwards.

Now, another fragment I recall working at some place that had become overrun by human like machines (cyborgs?). And the only way to avoid capture was blending in with some sort of bio-mechanisms that produce energy or something. I cant recall too much except later I was riveting a box together. That held some other equipment. This is about as far as I got when I woke up.
