Fragment of Dreams

My banana tree was sitting outside, despite the bitter cold, and was covered in dew. The rhubarb patch had completely died back, and I made my way to my car. _________________________ 03.11.2009More DV Debate Fragment (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Yet another DV debate, this one about philosophies and which ones would make us the happiest. Quite an interesting conversation. This dream might have led into the next dream, too. _________________________ 03.11.2009Living My Dream Life Fragment (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Ah, this was a brilliant dream, but I do not remember it. All I remember is that I was extraoridinarily happy before my alarm woke me up. This dream has been sitting on the cusp of my subconscious, but I cannot quite remember it.

He was arguing for full-on music pirating, while I was promoting a less worrisome option. Back and forth we went, until my alarm clock woke me up.

It was my first time taking the test, and I did absolutely no studying for it. Okay, back on topic, I got to bed around 11:15, which wasn't bad. I had two very clear dreams, which was rather nice. In the first dream, I'm a pirate on the high seas. I have a cannon to battle vile sea monsters with, and a shabby pirate crew. We sail the ocean and prey on the weak, sinking all who oppose us. It was really quite fun. The most interesting thing was that the entire crew was made up of DV members, I believe. This also isn't my first pirate dream. I guess I like pirates... _________________________ 28.10.2009Russian debate (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID In the second dream, my sister is looking to debate someone on DV, preferably a Russian. I have no idea why, or to what point and purpose, but the dream itself was extraordinarily clear. The text and avatars of all the members (about 7 or so) was very clear and perfectly legible. The dream itself didn't last long, but it was very vivid and lifelike.

Recall did, however, improve from the other nights, if even just faintly. I was outdoors at a hawaiian pig luau, with the hylophoner from Futurama. I remember the pig smelled and tasted divine, and that I was really great at playing the hylophoner. Not much, not terribly exciting...
Originally Posted by Mario92 24.10.2009Hunting for gophers (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Ahh...the dry spell is officially over. I had a four-dream night, and at least three of those dreams were quite vivid. In the first dream, I'm standing in my garden, which is now pockmarked with gopher holes. Some of them are just stopping by, but some of them are long-term pests. I go on a hunt for the long-term gophers and leave the passers-by be. To get the gophers, it's very much like a game of whack-a-mole in that they pop up every so often, and I have to grab them before they burrow again. It was actually a lot of fun. _________________________ 24.10.2009Cujo Bambi (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID In the second dream, I'm in my grandparent's yard, doing nothing of particular interest. It seems like we're about to go hunting for deer, which is odd because I don't hunt, or eat deer. At any rate, we're standing in our yard, when this family of deer come traipsing by. A couple of them have antlers. My parents are oblivious to this, and one of the smaller deer comes up to me. I reach out to it, and pet it. The deer seems to like this. The deer is my friend now. I take the deer inside, but then the deer meets the dogs, and it starts flipping out. It goes all foamy at the mouth and starts snarling. This was no ordinary Bambi deer - this was Cujo deer, and it was baaaad. My parents raised the shotgun, and the dream ended. _________________________ 24.10.2009Help on Dream Views (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID The third dream was a bit fuzzier than the others; more of a fragment, really. I'm on the computer, responding to a post requesting help of some sort. I remember that there were a handful of evenly-spaced lines with short amounts of text in each line. I can't remember what the post was about, however. _________________________ 24.10.2009Real-life video games (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID This dream was a bit odd. I was in some sort of odd place that was not unlike a mini-golf course I remember from a different dream. I think the main gist of it was that it was a pokemon spinoff game. It was very unusual, but the games were fun and quite challenging. It's hard to describe, but it was a very cool dream. Later, it skipped to someone bulldozing great swaths of land for a golf course.

I remember three dreams last night, and two of them were incredibly vivid. In my first dream, I don't remember too much, but I know that I was driving down the highway without headlights at night. I think I could see very faintly, but not well. It was only when I was almost home that I remembered the headlights and flicked them on. _________________________ 23.10.2009Talking to fish (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID In the second dream of the night, I'm transferring beta fish and goldfish to new bowls from the store bags. As I move them, I talk to them, for whatever reason. It was kinda fun, though. At any rate, I think I was moving the fish because I had some sort of new custommade product or something, and the fish were a part of it. The main part of the dream is a bit fuzzy, but the bit with the fish is crystal-clear. _________________________ 23.10.2009I don't know where I'm a gonna go when the volcano blows (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID This was a fun little dream. I'm looking at maps of the world, trying to find islands known for their violent volcanic eruptions. I come across a place called the "Wichita Belt," and whenever I say "Wichita," I get ominous sound effects in the background. I was talking to a friend about all of this, and he informed me that the Wichita Belt (cue ominous sound) was the most volcanically-active region in the world. He cautioned that it was an extremely dangerous place. Well, this is exactly what I'd been looking for. The scene skipped ahead to me standing on a particular island at night. I was getting ready to watch a Jeff Dunham performance in person, along with the natives of the island. That's when a lava flow began creeping down the hill. This bright-red, viscous mass of lava was headed straight for us, but was creeping relatively slowly. Dunham toppled a steel block in front of the magma's path, effectively buying us a bit of time before we all had to run for our lives. He continued on with his show, and instructed Walter to "guard the block." It was a fun dream, and survive a lava flow is actually one of my lucid tasks. Had I been lucid, that would've been awesome!

Hopefully, with the apporaching weekend I'll be able to catch up on sleep and remember more. In my first fragment, I'm reshaping districts to help the Democrats stay in office. Once again, I blame my U.S. Government class. _________________________ 22.10.2009The Lost Symbol fragment (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID In my second fragment, I'm running through a department store, I think. I was trying to get the box from Dan Brown's book so I could insert the ring and turn it 33 degrees, etc. to get the hinges to pop open and reveal the next clue. Just finished this book, so I'm not terribly surprised.

Did LD mantra, etc. I remember one dream, somewhat faintly. I recall that there was absolute anarchy and chaos, and nothing was making sense. However, there was also a sense of enlightenment and learning, a coming of great knowledge. It was a pretty abstract dream, all in all. I've been reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown, which may account for this dream.
Originally Posted by Mario92 16.10.2009Second Lucid!! (MILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I had dreams galore last night! It was my day to sleep in, but it was still very impressive. Among these dreams was my second lucid. I was sitting in the moonlight in some room somewhere, when it suddenly hits me that I'm dreaming. I become very happy, but I am able to contain it much better this time. Instead of immediately waking up, I try spinning, which was very unusual. My entire vision went black, and I kept reminding myself that I was dreaming. While I was spinning, I also saw advertisements. When I stopped spinning, I was still lucid, but I believe I had a birds-eye view of some forest in Italy, with a bear romping around. I felt the dream fade again, so I spun, which led back to the blackness and the ads. This caused a false awakening, which immediately caused a real awakening. _________________________ 16.10.2009He's a Pirate (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Among my many dreams of the night was one in which I was a pirate on a pirate ship. I was among a portion of the crew that was mutineered agaist my the rest of the crew. We knew that the mutiny was coming, and what the others planned to do to us, so we made preparations. We knew from rope fragments left behind that the other pirates wanted to tie us to the hand railings and dispose of us later. Therefore, while no one was watching, we loosened all the bolts holding the railing down. But then came the mutineers, who tied us up as expected. However, they went so far as to throw towels over our heads so we could not see. Just as they reached me, I woke up. _________________________ 16.10.2009Santa Claus (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I also had a dream about Santa Claus, during his summer break. He was big and fat, and very jolly. He was telling me how he had to pick up his mother and sister. He also said that he should build a second turbo-sleigh, so that his family could fly themselves around. Meanwhile, a friend of mine was just putting the finishing touches on a book of his. He proudly waltzed into the library, run by Mrs. Claus. She looked the book over and remarked on its expert craftsmanship. She said she would add it to the library. _________________________ 16.10.20094.0 Fragment (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I also had a fragment in which I received mini-pins for my 4.0 achievements, something I had no prior knowledge about. By the time they were all attatched, my letter was completely covered by pins. I also remember rearranging the pins on my gold letter. I believe there was also something about a watch with my school mascot, and class rings, too. As far as fragments go, it was fairly detailed. _________________________ 16.10.2009Grandpa (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID My grandfather passed away a few months ago, so I'm not too surprised by this dream. My family and I were going around and naming different plots of land after people past. We finally got to "Grandpa Island." It should be noted that this very plot of land has been visited before in previous dreams, and that I've never seen this area before in reality. The island was a rectangle, with the top third dry and grass-covered, while the rest was reedy and swampy. Apparently, this is where my Grandpa liked to sit and meditate. From there, however, the dream got really strange. All of a sudden, I was living out an autobiography of my Grandpa. I hoisted this enormous tree out of the ground using only brute strength. I then began to bash it repeatedly against a cliff in an effort to break it in half, but the narrator warned against it, so I stopped, for fear of flying shrapnel. There were power lines overhead, so I couldn't lift the tree, but I had to find some way to dispose of it. I was reluctant to throw it over the edge of the cliff and into the sea. So, I sought out other means of disposal. There was a playground, a soccer field, and all kinds of other public places, but none would do. Just as I found a place to dump the tree, I woke up.

The first one was a fragment, in which I let the dogs out to take care of business. Not much detail, overall. _________________________ 15.10.2009Feminism on DV (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID The second dream of the night wasn't terribly vivid or exciting. I was on the DV forums, commenting on a thread. The thread title was something to the effect of, "Help for females only." I remember being surprised that such a thread even existed, and posted a comment to that effect. I awoke shortly afterwards.
Originally Posted by Mario92 12.10.2009Dinner with grandma (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Did mantra, went to bed late. Don't remember much. I remember only one dream. I drive up to my grandmother's house, as I am supposed to meet her for dinner. I walk through the door, but no one is about. At first, I assume the worst, but further inspection leads me to find my grandmother lying asleep on the floor. I'm making clicking sounds, like a bored child will do, which caused her to startle awake, which startled me. The dream ended sometime after that.
Originally Posted by Mario92 11.10.2009Car starter fragment (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I performed the lucid dreaming mantra last night (as always), and, despite going to bed very late, I had two dreams and a fragment. In my fragment, I can remember my mother giving me a remote-controlled car starter for my car, in order to keep it warm in the winter. _________________________ 11.10.2009Homicidal biology teacher (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID In my second dream, I was working at some sort of crazy place. I had no idea what it was or what we were doing, but I do remember that hired hitmen had been sent to capture and subdue us. I'm gonna say that they were robbers. I managed to escape, but the oddest thing was that my biology teacher remained untouched, and so it was only plausible that she was the ring leader. The dream gets stranger from there, but it was very detailed and lifelike. _________________________ 11.10.2009Walking down dream journal path (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID The third and final dream of the night was also very vivid and lifelike, although it was a tad shorter. I was staggering about in the dark down a road somewhere in the woods. I believe I was looking for the name of a certain trail or path. I couldn't see well, so I took a flash light out of my pocket and used it to find the path. There was a sign on the outside of the path reading, "The dream journal of Oneironaut." Apparently, this made sense to me, so I descended into the forest. There was a wooden downhill boardwalk, and mosquitos everywhere. Just as I reached what I had been looking for, I woke up.
Originally Posted by Mario92 10.10.2009Vivid grocery store dream (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I went to bed at a much more reasonable time, plus I got to sleep in. Didn't really do the mantras (shame), but I had my first 4-dream night, and each dream I recall in vivid detail. In the first dream, I'm at some sort of local grocery store that has just opened. I'm in a small town, so everything has that sort of small-town charm. The market was big and full of warm earth-tone colors, but the biggest attraction was all the fruit, not to mention the thanksgiving stuff. I remember going over to where the fruit would normally be in a store, only to find frozen turkeys. However, next to the turkeys were all sorts of side dishes, including figgy pudding. I've never had this, but it looked delicious, so I scooped some up. It not only smelled good, but tasted good, as well. There was a giant, purple fig-thing in it, which was crunchy on the outside and very sweet. To anyone who says it is impossible to taste in your dreams, I say Balderdash! At any rate, I continue to walk through the aisles. The remarkable thing about the store was that it carried so many rare and hard-to-get items, such as dried longans. Hefting the bag, I saw the price and the number of pounds, and with a few calculations (that's right, I did math), I figured that the sack was $8.00 or so, so I put it back. When I finally get to the front counter, my dad is shooting the breeze with the manager. It was around this point that my dream ended. _________________________ 10.10.2009Almost-lucid hard-on dream (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID In my second dream, I'm walking through the halls of school with a hard-on, and I'm not sure why. At any rate, I decide to start pleasing myself, despite being surrounded by people. I'm really not thinking clearly, apparently. So, I get to the doors of the school, when I hear jeering and snickering, and realization hits me like an oncoming truck. I'm awash in embarassment. But then it dawns on me that no one will remember any of this because it is a dream. The dream continued on for a bit, but I never really became lucid. So close... _________________________ 10.10.2009The great race (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID This next dream is a bit shorter than the others, but still very vivid. I'm on a cross-country race with my mother against other family teams. We each have a car (ours is a van, the others have pickup trucks), and we're racing down the interstate. I remember that we had to stop and go get gas, which caused us to lose time. However, we soon caught up and had to make a turn. Instead of making the turn, however, we floored it straight on, into a fishing camp, which led right to my next dream. _________________________ 10.10.2009The camping episode (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID The final dream of the night was very vivid. I was walking around this campsite, which was also a fishing hole, when something caught my attention. My friend was hanging upside down from a tree, caught up in his fishing line. He had a broken arm wrapped in a pink cast for reasons unknown. Technically, I remember being in the site before, and noticing him in the tree, but I never really bothered to do anything. But at any rate, I scaled the tree and untied him. With superhuman reflexes, he reached out and put me in a choke hold with his cast, saying something like, "Yeah, why didn't you untie me before?" He let me go, and we climbed down (teleported, perhaps?) onto the ground. My mother and scout master were all too eager to make fun of me/lecture me. The dream ended sometime after. The strangest thing about this dream was that I'd been there before. This was not the first episode with the exact same fishing shack. There have been numerous dreams all including the fishing shack. Granted, each dream is different in some huge way, but the shed stays there. Also, I'm not sure I've ever seen the shed in real life.

I woke up and remembered my dream clearly, but I didn't write it down right away; consequently, I can only guess what my fragment refers to. I believe I was on my computer (again), which is becoming a real dream sign to me, and I believe I was in the process of sharing files. Again. This is starting to get old...
