SHALOM, Y'ALL!

In my first dream, I'm in my AP Biology class again, warming up for the No Child Left Behind tests and all that nonsense. The essay questions were unlike anything I've ever seen before. I'm pretty sure I was able to answer a lot of the test, but I got hung up on this one problem... _________________________ 06.11.2009Mzzkc (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Well, this was an odd one...Mzzkc was in my dreams, and he had completed the task of the month. His avatar, however, consisted of a brick wall and seven boxheads of different colors positioned in front of the wall in a pinwheel fashion. I recall a lot of details being crystal clear, and this dream was quite long. Hard to tell if it is part of the other dream I had or not...I'm saying "not" just because the plots jump so wildly... _________________________ 06.11.2009Dinosaurs (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Ah, the great dinosaur dream...Mzzkc was apparently a character from the Flintstones, and had access to a time machine. He went back to the Flintstone era and brought back 3 dinosaurs, I believe. They were the cute, cuddly ones like Dino. Yeah, so he let them go to wreak a spot of havoc, which was fun. At the end of the dream, he had to take them all back, via time portal. It was really pretty cool. _________________________ 06.11.2009Field Trip (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID This one was great fun. I was with my class in a supermarket kind of place, looking at the freezers. Apparently, we were there to study them. It was fun to open the doors, blow into them, and shut the door really fast. It caused your breath to solidify and kind of hang there, like a cloud. So, I went around puffing into these freezers, fogging them up as I did so. Everyone else in my class was goofing off, too. The teacher was nowhere to be found.

The user names and messages were crystal-clear, and I remembered them well, right until I woke up and laid there. When I actually woke up, I remembered much, but now it is beginning to fade...

It really is quite fun to do. At any rate, my mom was showing me how she had made this adorable little frog thing. The details were simply astounding. Quite the cool dream, really. _________________________ 04.11.2009Wow... (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Yeah, this was an interesting one...my parents had found this magazine with a naked lady on the front. I was in public with my parents and my sister, and I think a few people I work with. I believe we were sitting in desks at school, toward the back corner of the room. They passed the magazine to me, which I quickly handed off in an embarrased-like fashion. This is getting to be a dream sign, too. Public porn...how odd. _________________________ 04.11.2009NaNoWriMo! (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Yeah, so this was awesome. I was writing more for my NaNoWriMo project...which is going great! (2,500 words per day...booyah!) At any rate, the dream was quite long and mostly dedicated to writing. Nothing too terribly exciting, really.

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.
Originally Posted by Mario92 02.11.2009no-Name Debate (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Yeah, so I was on the Boxhead forums, locked in an epic debate with no-Name in their version of the Lounge. 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.

Everything was copacetic, and I was just going to bed, when the power flashed. We have all the computers backed up to some sort of battery to prevent them from shutting down, so I didn't worry about it. I went to bed and the scene skipped ahead to the next morning. My mom was looking at the computer, which had reverted to the old-fashioned monitor-and-tower setup. There was a message on the screen to the effect of, "The computer powered down unexpectedly." Her first thought was a virus, but when we explained the flash, and that it must have drained the battery, she felt better. At any rate, all our test papers were in order, and we were just about to go off to school to take the test when the dream ended.
Originally Posted by Mario92 31.10.2009Crazy english teacher (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I had two very long, very interesting, very vivid dreams last night. In the first one, my crazy English teacher decided to pile even more work on us, on top of the friggin' huge project she had already given us. This project, however, was a lot more interesting. It seemed that our job was to create an obstacle course, and use it to reach the other side of a blank room, which looked like a 2-D video game. A requirement of the course was that it had to have a jump, and that four people would be working simultaneously on one screen. We etched out our course and hopped in a little car thing, and drove through the course, jumping and dodging other people's paths. We finally hit our bit at the very end, which was a long slope containing a line directly above it, so as to close it off, tunnel-style. It's kinda hard to describe, but at the point of drop-off, we didn't leave enough room, and the car crashed, sending us flying. We bounced around for a bit, and by some miracle, landed right at the spot we needed to land to continue. There was a door, and we went through it. At this point, the point of view shifted from third-person, 2-D to first-person, 3-D. We were in a bedroom. The others were messing around, but I knew what had to be done. I took a small wad of gum, and stuck it to the covers of the bed, which is what the teacher had assigned us to do. The others followed suit, and it was through this that we avoided Armageddon or some such nonsense. Yeah, this was one freaky little dream, but it was exceptionally vivid and rather lengthy. _________________________ 31.10.2009Previews and drugs (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID In the other dream of the night, I was waiting outside my Grandmother's house, which had apparently become a school. It was raining out, and I was under a little roof thing that stretched over a pathway, staying warm and dry. I wasn't really doing anything, when a couple of kids came up, one of which I knew from real life. He was telling this third person who had just appeared about how salvia is apparently a lot like LSD, and how it lasts a really long time. He went on to say something like, "All the stars in my house are still all lit up like fireworks," or some other such nonsense. I should say now that I've never taken drugs before, and nor shall I ever. At any rate, they moved on, and I went back to roaming back and forth underneath my shelter. As I came near the end of the line on one side, I noticed a bunch of TV's had been mounted on the upper inside wall of the roof, similar to how amusement parks place their picture monitors. There were a bunch of previews for a whole bunch of movies, a lot of them having to do with comets, asteroids, and the end of the world. There was one, however, that looked all too cute: Pikmin, the Movie. I pressed a button, and the screen began playing the little segment. The story was told from the viewpoint of a spotty bulborb, one of the enemies the pikmin tend to go after. It showed the bulborb running about, dodging pikmin, and satisfying its insatiable appatite. At one point, it was carrying a little bulborb in its mouth, when the large bulborb's stomach growled, and it ate the little one in a flash. I decided then that the movie was too cute to miss, and vowed to see it when it hit theatres. When the preview ended, my 10th grade english teacher (who was always really cool), stepped out onto the porch for a smoke, which was very unlike him. It was shortly after this that my dream ended.

I was walking around downtown with my father when it suddenly hit me that I was dreaming. Being that I was downtown, it immediately occured to me to seek out the supermarket I'd been to in one of my previous dreams. I break out into a run in search of this place, which I suddenly know where it is. I arrive, only to find that everyone is out for lunch. It had been my intention to go into the store and sample all kinds of stuff, but that didn't happen. Instead, the employees came back and immediately put me to work, causing me to lose lucidity. I remember scooping up some stuff and preparing to move it to the attic. My dream ended shortly after that. This is progress. Also, this lucid is right about on time, too. So far, they're spaced at about 2 weeks apart, which is kinda nice. I should do more autosuggestion and reality checking throughout the day, as well as the lucid dream exercise. Yay! I'm so happy I had my third lucid! More shall come in due time, and I look forward to their arrival. _________________________ 29.10.2009RC fragment (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Along with my lucid dream, this one was very interesting. I was in my home, telling my friends about reality checking by looking at your hands. *facepalm*

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.
Originally Posted by Mario92 27.10.2009Hylophoner and Luau fragment (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Got to bed sooner, but still not great. 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.

Hmm...at any rate, I had at least one dream last night, and a very dim memory of another, but I recall nothing of it. In the dream I do remember, I've just submitted a bill to the legislature somewhere. In the bill, I believe I was trying to ban the use of the word "glucose" for some reason. I blame my government class. Okay, from here on out, I'm gonna just assume that all my dreams are non-lucid unless otherwise specified.

Since I've been reading Dan Brown's new book, I think this dream was influenced by it. I was on the DV forums, in the off-topic secion, most likely the R/S forum. I was debating the power of the human mind, and whether or not thoughts had mass, which I argued they did. This caught my opponent in the debate (Slash?) completely off-guard. There was some more back-and-forth banter, but the dream ultimately ended in some sort of enlightening revelation. I remember little of it, but the phrase, "Movement is power" seems to be ringing a bell. So yeah, freaky dream...
