20 Years to Life (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Spooky-ass dream. I started out in this mansion-type place, where my ill grandmother was preparing to die. I was in Morocco, I guess, though it was more of an island setting. My grandma begged to die, pleaded with me that I shoot her. What else could I do? I pulled the trigger.

The dream skipped to the streets of Morocco (which was a surprisingly small town), where I was vacationing with my familiy. We were touring the streets and all that. We were stopped at a traffic light. All of a sudden, a bunch of people came out and started painting the lights with candy. This one old lady was carrying caramel-dipped things that looked really good. She was offering to sell them. One of my obnoxious co-workers, who was also in Morocco apparently, bought one. I, too, got one. I had left my wallet back at the hotel room, and so could not pay properly. Instead, I pulled a fiver out of the big wad of cash I was keeping on me. The money was probably from the books I sold back in real life not too long ago. There was a bit more driving around with my father, almost missing stop lights and such.

The dream skips to this tacky little room. It was all concrete, but the ceiling was painted in bright red checkerboards. There was a big dip toward the middle left of the ceiling, which appeared to be impossible to move. I had been served with my papers for murder. It was a thick packet, and I was waiting for someone to explain it to me. This one kid who had been serving for the past six years on a prisoner ship in the middle of the ocean was also there. He seemed to have certain psychic powers. When I asked why he did not run away, he said that the consequences of being caught would have been far worse.

The dude in charge of my papers came in. He took me aside and explained what all the numbers meant. It looked like I would be serving the maximum sentence for murder (20 years), instead of the 6 years they had marked if I was good. They indicated that I was highly unlikely to get any sort of pardon or sentence cut. I, too, would be imprisoned on a ship. Now I was starting to panic. A risk analysis indicated that my life was over, and I should either a) kill myself, or b) escape.

The scary man left, and my mother walked in. I told her the bad news, and she immediately started talking cost. How much would it cost to start a new life, all that. I told her that I didn't know, but suggested that it would be a good start to hop down to the airport and hop a flight on whatever plane was going out first. She said, "I don't know." There was a bit more grappling, and then the dream ended.

Survivor and Pokemon (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was stranded on an island with about eight other people. There was a kid, and he had a Gameboy Advance. I think he was playing a pokemon game. I remember wondering where he kept getting the batteries for his game, but never got lucid off of it. So, I took out my gameboy and started playing my pokemon game. I wanted to battle the kid, so I started training. Too bad my team was utter crap. Yeah, needless to say, I lost the game. It was a short dream, really.

Time-Stopping and Human Sacrafice (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Okay, this dream was cool. I was sitting around in a cave. These two strong guys approached me and started explaining stuff. Somewhere in the caves, a group of tribal wingnuts were preparing to sacrifice my sister. They gave me a couple of gun-like things. Each gun stopped time in a different way. I would have to use them to reach the crazy tribal people in time. I took off running in what I thought was the right direction. One of the guys grabbed the back of my shirt and told me there was a faster way.

As I was hurling toward my sister down an icy slide, I thought it would be good to familiarize myself with my time-stopping weapons. I had stopped time once before, but there was apparently a better way to stop it. I switched out guns and fired the new one. All of time hung perfectly still, except for myself. I was stuck in one position on the slide. I could think and move a little bit, but my body was as frozen as the rest of the world. This purplish mist seemed to hang in front of everything. Then the effects wore off, the mist faded, and I resumed hurling down the slide.

I touched bottom and immediately began sprinting. I could hear the tribal freaks chanting, and I saw one lift a knife above his head. My sister had been brainwashed, and did not struggle to get free. I fired my weapon once more, hoping to buy a little time. There was nothing more than a muted click, though. I swapped out weapons again, took aim, and fired. Then the dream ended.

Hot Air Balloon fragment (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

My, a sleep I have not slept in such a long time...but I digress. I had several long dreams, but I only remember this fragment. I was in a hot air balloon for a short time over a field, possibly in winter. I went up and came down.

Long California Warp Dream (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I started out on the last leg of a road trip. My sister and two of her friends were with me. We were on a road trip to California. We would be staying at several different mansions of sorts. Each of us would be chilling at a different mansion, and each one came equipped with a pool (which I never used). We would get from one house to another by warping, it seems. I never really remember travelling from one house to another, so I'm assuming warping.

Each house held a rich family, which for the most part was stuck-up and snotty. There was this rich girl in every house, and each one was a complete brat. I preferred to chill with my sis and her friends.

One day, we were at one of the mansions with the only nice person. She had a pool directly overlooking a beach. We were picking up hunks of foam and running up a ramp, trying to "surf" on the air. We got some pretty good glides going, but nothing that broke the record of Ayumi (who was apparently the rich girl's sister). After some experimenting, I calculated that she probably got lucky and hit a gust of wind at exactly the right moment. After a few more runs and glides, I took off.

I decided to drive around with my sister for a while. Asking her if she still wanted to be a ballerina, she replied "not so much." I started suggesting new career ideas to her, and ultimately ended up taking her to a career match center. After a few guesses, they matched her with "computer programmer," which she loved the idea of. This big, plasma-screen TV that spanned the entire wall demonstrated some of what she would be doing. She found the idea thrilling, and instantly enrolled in several college courses. I told her that she would have to teach me some things, too. Then the stupid alarm clock went off and I woke up.

The Skybanner (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Wow, this was a really long dream. I was first sitting in college, listening to my Professor. We were due to have a test soon; this is my interpersonal professor. I remember stressing out for some reason, I don't know why. When class let out, I went over to my dad's car, where he was waiting in the driver's seat. I hopped in. Somehow, his car had shrunk some. It was a convertible in this dream, though hardly acted like it. When one side went down, the other went up. The frame was horribly warped, and it felt and looked very much like being in the cockpit of a helicopter. He took me home, where I promptly hopped on my laptop and booted up my flight simulator. A new model of aircraft had apparently been released; it was called the "Skybanner." It was similar to the Dragonfly, but far more awesome. I began a web quest to find the new plane, though turned up little. All I found were virus-riddled sites and nothing I was looking for. In the end, I searched till dawn, and found myself in the classroom, still searching on my computer. It was either test day or end-of-semester day, I don't quite remember which. I do remember the teacher being really pissed, though.

When class let out around sunset, I again went over to my dad's car and climbed in. He was wearing a 7-piece suit, and it being summer, was dying a thousand deaths. He had this great idea, though; go to McDonalds, just for fun. We drove a short distance there and parked sort of near the drive-through. It was a big, wide-open sort of lane or alley, with only the building on one side. The other side opened into this great field. Suddenly, out of the sky comes this airplane. It was smaller, bordering on an ultra-light. It came down, touched the ground, and stopped faster than I've ever seen a plane stop before. The pilot tipped the nose up to expose the entire wing to the air, ultimately stopping the plane dead in its tracks. He hopped out, unscathed. The pilot was no more than 15 or so. His plane was sponsored, too.

My dad got it in his head that it would be awesome to go through the McDonalds drive-through in a plane. He asked for a ride, and the boy agreed. The plane wasn't quite as graceful on the ground as it was in the air, it seemed. It shot forward and crashed into the building, almost shaking my dad loose. Instead of ordering, though, he leapt through the window and started chatting up the lady behind the counter. Still wearing his 7-piece suit, he bid the lady farewell and leapt back through the window. At this point, I thought I would die laughing.

Universal Mind and Youtube Fragment (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Short dream, this one about Universal Mind. He had posted a video somewhere on the DV forums, and I was trying to download it. We agreed that the song/video was pretty awesome.

This was a dream about life after the 10k game. Really, not much changed at all, so I went off to the Meta Forum to make a comment. Jeff edited my post, so I edited it back. I think he removed a picture I posted, along with rephrasing some statements.

Glass Shlumping Fragment (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Odd dreams last night. First one was a fragment, having to do with glass shlumping. Some guy had done his shlump backwards and ended up with a bowl trapped inside another bowl. It was pretty, but utterly useless. The outer bowl was this lovely shade of brown or earth-tone. The inner one was this dark green-teal sort of color. Both had a marbled appearance.

Teaching LDS To Fly (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Another good dream. I think I was somewhere in the Overthere from Super Paper Mario (for those of you who don't know, it's this big place filled with clouds and Ancient Greece-style structures). Very pretty. I was communicating with LDS over the internet on my laptop. She had downloaded FlightGear and was wondering how to fly the F-16. I sent her a link to the tutorials. Nothing big or fancy in this dream, but it was still quite pleasant.

Proper Glass Shlumping (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Now this dream was a proper-length dream. My dad wanted to take me to shlump glass properly this time, and I agreed. He went and staked out the place first. When I arrived at the general area (which was a sort of ranch or something), he told me that there were horses nearby, and wanted to know if I was afraid of ponies. I told him I wasn't, so we moved on. There was a bit of a walk to the barn where we would do the shlumping. This walk took us past empty buffalo pens, with only the rotting carcasses of the odd, undistinguishable animal left over. Buzzards were picking at these. I didn't smell anything (luckily). It was fall, and the end of the buffalo-herding season, I guess.

Anyway, we made it to the "barn," though "Mansion" is a more accurate term. The inside was glorious. Warm, earth-toned rock and marble, secret rotating doorways, a hidden elevator, all that jazz. One eccentric woman came up and told us she was leading a walk...for stoners. Sure enough, the woman in charge (she was scary-looking, too,) tapped the wall in such a way as to cause the sheet rock to fall back, revealing a sort of giant, room-sized elevator. There was this butler-dude who went to a cabinet and pulled out a big bag of weed, which he handed to the woman leading the tour group. As he backed up, intending to slip back into the elevator, the doors closed shut and the rock slid into place. He backed into a stone wall and fell down. His coattails got stuck in the elevator and tried to suck him down. Eventually, the elevator let go. The butler dusted himself off and pulled a joint from his pocket before walking off.

That detour accomplished, my father and I, along with a bunch of old ladies, went out to the glass-shlumping area, which was a real barn. There were empty animal stalls that smelled faintly of barnyard happiness. A guy from my work place (who was gay in this dream) gave us a run-down on what we should kinda expect to make. He suggested either building a house or a good-looking male supermodel. Both would be perfectly acceptable. After a few more details (and some mortified expressions on the old ladies), he left us to our own devices.

We began making the side panels for a house (which isn't how you shlump glass at all). These old ladies were getting everything set up, and they looked like well-seasoned shlumpers. Well, it turned out that there was a sort of a contest going on. Us (myself, my father, and the old hags) against the people in charge (the scary lady, the butler, and the rest of the staff). Well, we were going to win, darn it all! So, we found a good place to evesdrop on the competition. We wanted to find out what they were making so we could make the same thing, but even better. Turns out, they had a similar plan. They had cameras on us and all that. Neither camp dared to discuss its project. One old lady tried to slip up, and covered it up by bursting into song. Another lady joined her in this obviously-fake charade. They ended the song (which was actually quite well-done, I'll admit). Then the dream ended.

...I think I set a new record for my longest dream ever.

Devil's Trials Fragment (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This dream wasn't so clear, but I remember being back in the Overthere. I was destroying monsters, video-game style. I slayed them all with perfect ease. The final test, however, was conjured up by the Devil himself. He summoned up two invincible hellhounds. My task was to defeat them before I died. I called the devil a cheater and ran for higher ground. He laughed maniacally. I jumped up onto a ledge, where the dogs couldn't get me. It was a dead end, and the dogs weren't eager to leave me alone. I backed further up onto the ledge and looked behind me. There was a crawl space of sorts, this small air duct that looked just big enough for me to squeeze through. I gave it a shot and ended up in this big counseling chamber, where the Elders would meet or something. Then the dream ended.

Workin' For a Livin' (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Not the most vivid dream in the world, but I remember it okay. I was at my place of work, doing what I usually do. Things were all quite similar, and nothing was shifted or altered too much. I think I ended up talking to someone, and there may have been a discrepancy, but I'm not positive of this.

Flirting with Disaster (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This dream was much more to the "vivid" side of the spectrum. I was driving down the highway, going the wrong way. I needed to be back in town for a movie shown in this small but very tall movie theatre, old-school style. I knew exactly where I needed to go, but as I was going down the highway in the opposite direction, I needed to pull a U-turn. I was the only car on the road, save for two right in front of me. I found a little place to pull off, but instead hit the brakes hard, skidded around the shallow groove, and shot across the center medium and onto the other side of the road, where I floored the pedal and headed straight for downtown. It was cool.

Odd River Dream (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Strange, yet interesting. I was apparently trying to escape from somewhere with these three girls. They were okay-looking, nothing special, though. For some reason, none of them had pants. At any rate, we had to get across this big river that ended in a sort of dam-like structure. We dove in and were quickly pinned against the concrete wall, unable to hardly even move, the currents were so strong. I found it difficult and even painful to breathe as the water squeezed against me. There was another, calmer river beneath this one. The top of the wall was in reach...we all grasped the ledge and flung ourselves over the top. There was a short plummet, and then the dream ended.

Movies, Flying, and the Internet (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was a rather lengthy dream. I started out sitting in school, pressed for time. I think I was trying to get my college and scholarship applications done at the very last moment, and I had bit off more than I could chew. I raced frantically to get my work done, while simultaneously trying to get my regular school work done. Fondue was involved in some way or another, and I ended up searching for bamboo fondue skewers or something of the sort. I finally went to this place called bamboofondue.com, where I found all the fondue information that I needed. I got sidetracked and ended up watching a short video on how to make the perfect fondue bread. After this, it was time to see a movie (I'm sensing dream overlap) in the school's old movie theatre, not unlike the one downtown in the other dream. I think we were going to see a play involving abortion. Before the movie started, I booted up my laptop and hopped on Dream Views. There was a sort of forum-chatroom hybrid going on, and I distincly remember calling Invader a crybaby for leaving over some silly reason. Then I went on FlightGear and spun up the benzels of the chopper, but the alarm clock went off and the dream ended.

Confuzzling Plane Dream (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Not much to report, but the dream I had last night was incredibly confusing and hard to understand, such to the point that I began to think it was having a serious impact on the stability of reality. I remember pulling up command prompts and such related to planes, possibly the A-10 (which doesn't handle for spit, I should mention). Very strange, very confusing.

Okay, strange dream. I was sitting in my basement, except it wasn't my basement, but it was a basement nonetheless. I was chatting on my laptop with LDS and possibly Fabio, but I'm not sure of this. Anyway, my mother saw the chat screen and kind of flipped out (she has no idea that I even use the forums). I tried to cover my tracks, but to no avail. The next morning (in my dream), I saw my mother logged on to one of the DV threads, though she clicked out of it quickly. I tried to piece together her user name, but to no avail. Then the dream ended.

Jungle Madness (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Okay, this dream was both sad and awesome. I was stranded with LDS and someone else who I took to be her brother on an island. I never saw the brother, but LDS was beautiful. At any rate, her brother fell fatally ill and demanded to be placed in a separate camp. The flies swarmed around him, foreshadowing that the end was near. She wanted me to come with her to see her brother, one last time. I agreed, but it was to be another day before we saw him. In the mean time, I somehow slipped back to the comforts of the modern world, complete with laptop and whatnot. I was in my sister's old middle school, which had been revamped. There were three or four areas lacking a handrail or proper walking surface where one could straddle this gap and scoot to the other side for a free smoothie. As these areas were on the second or third floor, and the narrow ledges opened up to a terrifying free-fall, few people took on the challenge. I, however, laughed in the face of danger and shot right across the ledges time and again, helping myself to free smoothies. When I was done with this, I found this piece of paper with my sister's name on it. It was nothing important, just some random facts about how the school was spending money, but I stole the paper anyway. I wanted to find her and give it to her for whatever reason, but after a close encounter with the teachers, I decided it would be best to simply return the paper and let the teachers handle it themselves.
After all this was done, it was time to meet LDS back in the jungle. I slipped through something or other and met her at her brother's campsite. The flies were gone, and so was the brother. LDS had tears streaming down her face, and I knew that I had made it too late. I hugged her, she returned the embrace, and the dream ended.

Yeah, didn't get to bed at a reasonable time (again). Looking forward to the weekend. Woke up to Owl City's Saltwater Room. Strange, considering I haven't heard that song in ages. I think I was embedding this video in a Dream Views page. I think I did something similar in the night before's dream, when I had zero recall.

Awoke to Don't Fear The Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult. The first dream of the night was strange. I was riding the subways in New York. I appeared to be there with my class for something. There was this cute girl with a few self-esteem issues. I remember that there were these great big lines for the trains, and that they were packed full all the time. Somehow, though, I was able to snag an empty cabin with this girl. We rode all over New York. Turned out, she didn't have self-esteem issues...she was just very shy. Dream ended sometime after that.

Legend of Zelda Strangeness (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Odd dream. It was more or less 3rd person view, though it could just be that I was playing a full-screen video game or something. I was in The Legend Of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass. I was redesigning my ship, which had become moldy for some reason. I got a bit of cleaning stuff and set to work. Short dream, rather uneventful.

Awoke to King of Pain, by The Police. Anyway, this was an incredibly fun dream. I started out on my way home, when I saw this guy flip a u-turn without braking...he just kind of slid into it and ended up going the exact opposite direction. I thought that this would be fun, and so I followed suit. Success. The rest of the dream was more or less spent doing all kinds of tricks and such for my car. All the while I was thinking "Man, this has got to be a really bad idea," but still I continued. At one point, I was driving down the highway backward at top speed. I pulled into a small parking lot and continued wreaking my own special brand of mayhem. When I saw a police cruizer pull up, my first thought was, "Oh, crap, it's the fuzz!" I stoopped the shenanigans and pulled up to a stop light. Where the green would normally be on a traffic light was a blue light. I took this to mean "go" and I did. The cruizer was going the same way I was, though it seemed to be off-duty. Near the end of my dream, just as the police cruizer turned off, the same guy I saw earlier flipped another u-turn and got away with it, in spite of being within full site of the cop.

Vietnam Stuff (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Yeah, kind of a boring sort of dream here, but still a little bit interesting. I was thinking about the Vietnam war for whatever reason, and was talking to some dude about it, too. He was ranting on, and I kinda wasn't paying much attention. For some reason, I thought that the color "orange" was significant in some way. I also remember finding little pieces of broken glass scattered all over my basement (this is where the dream is taking place). I find a couple of perfect squares, which are ideal for glass shlumping.

Bar Mitzvah Randomness (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Not as vivid as the others, but still a dream. I was talking to someone about bar mitzvahs, and their effects on aging. We calculated that the average 13-year-old going into his bah Mitzvan (spelling, I know) would emerge a 56-year-old semi-senior citizen. Odd, to say the least.

This was a really fun dream, but also very random. At first, I was at this police/military/secret agent headquarters. This guy was giving me this grand tour, and pointed out this cute couple ahead of me. They were constantly flirting via text message and email...it was sweet, I thought. We moved on, and I was given my first assignment. Some loonie had escaped and was walking through this residential area. My mission was to retrieve the nutter. Of course, I got decked out in secret agent gear, including my personal favorite, the warp hole. It was a small, invisible device that would allow the user to slip through space, in one side and out the other. One had been planted further down the street the crazy dude was walking down. All I had to do was drag him through it, then retrieve the warp hole. I convinced all the spectators that it was a magic trick, and they believed me. I recovered the maniac and was relieved of duty. At that point, I decided to take a trip down the small river and over the waterfall located just outside of HQ. The water was nice and warm, but as I approached the waterfall, I decided to do a bit of flying. Flying was very odd; I tried to use my computer mouse to guide me. It worked fairly okay (and I even thought that it would be a good new method of flying for lucid dreams)...my one gripe was the top speed. I would have liked to go much faster. Anyway, though, I arrived safe and sound at the bottom of the waterfall, where I logged on to a remodeled Dream Views and began shooting the breeze with a few random people, though I think Billybob might have been on that list. I remember identifying a certain plant as rosemary, too. It was fun.

Odd dream, but still kinda fun. I was in the third-person view throughout it, spectating this ongoing duel between an older sister and a little brother. They were grappling over a ring that turned the user invisible and allowed them to get away with anything. They kept going back and forth, trying to get one another in trouble. It was rather amusing, but also a touch boring...
