Waiting

It's more of a fragment than anything else, but what I do remember is that it the overall setting had a golden ambient light (no doubt due to the afternoon sun shining through my blinds). I was traveling with a group of friends in a sparsely populated town, most being dream characters. I was standing out on a platform with them waiting for a tram of some sort when one of them remarked something along the lines of "We still have to wait for [some name I can't remember]". My memory jumps from this to meeting another person who asks me to assist them in helping them find someone. I agree and search a building where they were last seen, but before I find them I wake up.

Cheating
All I can remember was this fragment. I was part of this race with a bunch of other people. We each got to pick the vehicles, which varied from normal cars to futuristic hover cars and even weird biological vehicles. Each car had two people in it. As the race began, my partner and I had picked a normal vehicle. But it became apparent to us that we weren't going to win the race and were near last place after the first few laps. We jumped into a hover vehicle that acted as an air glider so long as we didn't stall it out by flying upwards. With this vehicle, we found an exploit in the track that allowed us to go from the beginning portion straight to the finish line by flying upwards and landing just right on the track above us. This allowed us to catch up with the pair in first place and beat them.

Conclusion
This was a neat little fragment I remember. I don't know if it was significant in the dream later on though. Oh well.

City Farmer
I was outside a magical city. Each building, comprised of large dark blue stones, had markings that glowed in a variety of green shades. The city was situated in the pit of sorts, with wheat growing on the outside. As I looked upon the fields of wheat, I readied my scythe for harvesting. But it wasn't the wheat I wanted, rather, I wanted to release the souls of the damned that were beneath the very ground the wheat grew on. With each sweep of the scythe, black forms spilled forth, taking the vague shape of humanoid figures that twisted and shambled towards the city. The people inhabiting the city went on full alert and had sent their army to fight them off. But before my memory cuts out, I remember bring up more dark creatures than soldiers.

Conclusion
Weird, to say the least. I've never really had a sinister dream like this, at least where I'm the antagonist in it. Even though my memory of it isn't all too clear, I still have to admit that it was a fun one, and can't deny I enjoyed thinking about it after waking up.

Had a bunch of dreams last night, each with their own weird connected plot too. Recall is starting to come back to me thankfully.

Sim City
I was pretty much building a city in a Sim-ish isometric view. I had built up a great city, but then ran into budget problems regarding the new highway system I had built combined with the power demands my city had. I shut down a few power plants which in turn caused my city to become an abandoned ghost town with a few brave souls living in it. On the bright side I had balanced my budget and could continue expansion, but at the last minute all my funds disappeared, which was where my dream had ended

Strange City
I was in some neighborhood at night with a party of people with me. The neighborhood was comprised of multiple homes and businesses like that of a suburb, with a few parks and playgrounds thrown into the mix. I felt confined to a square area as I and the few other people explored with me. As we walked the empty streets, a plethora of creatures ran about. Some resembling hellish creatures of a Lovecraftian nature, others of normal animals with a dark twist. While they were benign if left alone, they weren't afraid to attack if you encroached on it's territory.

We moved towards a sandbox that was right at a corner of where walls were which further gave this walled in feeling. There was a hut with some crazy old lady living inside of it and she told me and the other people to start digging if we wanted to escape or something. As we began digging, we encounter this underground cave which had ancient buildings carved into it's huge walls.

The Underground City
As I pushed forward with the few people that I was with, the area became less ancient looking, and more futuristic. Eventually, the entire scene changed to a technologically advanced facility with moving platforms and bits. Interestingly, it turned into a game of Starcraft where I had controlled three bases, two Zerg and one Protoss. The moving platform was some sort of strategical element in the game as I kept shipping units back and forth on it. But that little subplot came to a quick end as I had woken up in the middle of the night thirsty.

Tornado Warning
When I went back to bed, I had found myself in a countryside of some sort. Dirt roads, grass everywhere, few buildings, and lots of trees surrounded me. I was with two guys who happened to be brothers and we were playing in the dirt or something. I remember everything having a yellowish tinge to it, while similtaniously being dimly lit despite the fact we were outside. Before questioning this, I looked up in the sky and the boys' father ran out saying there was a tornado warning because of the dark clouds that were covering half of the sky.

I remember having to wait for a gate to open because the boys' father had a fence around their large property and that fence had barbwire. It also turned out that he was farmer considering he had a few cows in front of his yard eating his grass. As we went inside, I recall the actual house being only one story and fairly small. It too, was dimly lit with a faint yellow tinge, but I blamed it on the lights in the house. At this point, I had woken up because of sunlight coming from my window, so I'll never know if a tornado hit the house or now.

Conclusion
Well, overall, most of the dreams took place in a city with the exception of the last. If I keep remembering dreams at this rate, then hopefully it'll be like I never stopped remembering my dreams in the first place.

Need to start getting more involved in lucid dreaming. I faintly remember a fragment and becoming semi-lucid after holding my breath to see if I was dreaming. I was inside a large tower that had roller coaster tracks running around it. Although, it could have been a tram system for all I know. I was standing in some sort of pavilion alone when I had done a reality check realizing that it was a dream. However, the dream gradually faded to white and I lost all focus for some odd reason. Hopefully tonight I'll have an actual lucid dream for once though.

Haven't had one of these in a while. It seems to be the same as every other zombie dream I have, where I watch everyone descend into madness as they slowly turn into zombies. Except instead of a virus, it was because of a small stink bug everyone was turning into zombies. Towards the end, I was riding on a bike with some other person trying to escape under the cover of night for safety. Last I can remember, was being at dry wash that had some green grass in it, almost like a prairie. Hopefully this will kick off my recall once again, and I can keep trying to achieve lucid dreams. Happy dreaming everyone!

Last night was terrible for recall. I can't sleep for some reason. I think that not taking those homeopathic sleeping pills might be the cause of it. Non habit forming my ass! Oh well, I'll try taking them again to see if I get anywhere with them. Happy dreaming!

This one lasted for a considerably long time and yet stayed consistent the entire time. I enjoy looking back at it too.

The Secret Society
It begins, or rather, I can recall as far back as being outside caverns that led into a mountain. There was a secret society that occupied the mine, and to get in, you had to take an oath to them and follow their evil ways. There was a man that stood, dressed in ancient black robes, in front of a group of average looking people. All of them were initiates that looked a little confused as to what they were joining.

Standing next to the man was a few of his assistants to help in the initiations. The society had moderate numbers, but was seeking to increase it's membership. The organization had a few targets of people that they were seeking out to kill. One of them happened to be in the group of initiates, oblivious to that they were being hunted by them. I can't recall who it was, and whether it was a boy or girl, just that they were right there under there noses.

The Hotel
The scene soon changes. I am with the group of "good" people who are on the run from the secret society. We are all at some sort of hotel complex set into the future. We were near the top floor on an extremely tall building that had smoothed edges sort of like a Syd Mead painting. It was clearly daytime, and as we were leaving the buildings, I looked across and down at an expansive green courtyard that was at ground level. It was an open-air corridor that allowed me to look down at it. As I looked straight across and from left to right, I saw more buildings similar to the one I was on.

The Final Attack
My gazing was cut short because the evil organization sent large birds after us, and we had to run away as quick as possible. We soon find ourselves at a large castle that has been fortified to protect the person sought after by the evil society. I, and a group of people, find the need to head back to the mines to stop something. A party of people gets assembled, myself included, and embark on the journey towards the mines. Surprisingly, it's close by, but we soon find a gate that won't budge because we haven't met it's requirements. We needed to bring "hellstone" or "demonstone" or something like that for it to open. But we didn't have any.

As we return, we find the castle under attack by a dragon sent by the evil secret society. A mysterious song is played with intricate and dramatic chords, but whether or not the song was real or not, I'm can't say. The castle is in terrible condition, as we all try to fend the dragon off. I wake up, not too shortly after, and just as how I was unsure of the song, I am unsure on how the dream actually ended.

Conclusion
This was certainly an action-packed dream. I could probably write a story on this if I truly wanted. I hope tonight's dreams will be just as interesting. Happy dreaming!

This one was really short, but really weird and creepy.

I recall being in some ancient city that resembles the Mayan and Aztec architecture. There is a man clad in armor from an out of place era and is being sacrificed for some unknown reason. I think it had something to do with reviving the city, but I'm not certain. The people around the area who are cheering look very modern. As the man is dangled in this cage over a fiery pit, the chief/orchestrator of all this pulls out a knife and grabs the man's hand. He then begins to slice a finger off, cutting through the metal with ease. The man in the armor gives out loud muffled cries as he does so. He finally gets the finger off and holds it up resulting in the crowd cheering. Everything gets fuzzy after that.

What exactly was it all about? I'm not sure. Certainly don't want dreams like that though.

I had written these in my real life dream journal, but I figured that I should just type it onto here for good keeping.

Hide and Seek
I am exploring a small town. It's the afternoon and a few shadows cast slightly to the sides of small, two story buildings. There aren't any roads, for the buildings are too cramped together to allow any cars through. Exploring soon turns to running away. There is something chasing me, and there are other people running away from it too, but what or why is beyond me. It doesn't strike fear in me, in fact, it feels like a game of hide and seek. The path I'm running on however, feels linear. It's as if the road is forcing me into one direction. There are a few people to my side who are running with me, but I stop and decide to head in the reverse direction I was heading in. I think I can outwit whatever it is that's chasing me.

I find a familiar entrance that was gated off earlier, but now is opened up. As I run inside, I find a glass window after turning left. As I peer through it, I find that it's a store without an entryway that some how has people shopping in it. Sensing the person/thing close by, I grab a rock and smash the window to get in. I leap inside and curl up in a ball near a clothing rack and begin to hide. The dream ends here, or at least my recall does.

Pirate Ship
I know that there was some connection from that dream to this dream, I just don't know what. In this one, it was night, and there is a party going on. I think I might have been running around talking with people and helping solve problems. One thing that sticks out is that someone was complaining about a sink strainer that was causing issues with the drain and asked me to fix it. After I fixed it, I began running around again to do other things and realize I am looking for something, or someone.

All of this was taking place on some pirate ship of some sorts. The attire of the people around me ranged from old Victorian styles, to casual clothing. One girl approached me and asked me if I could help her pick out a dress for her. Internally, I was baffled because she was already wearing a dress, a big, poofy, black Victorian dress with a white bodice over it. Despite all that, I agreed and began to follower her.

We went up some stairs and into a crowed corridor that had a window showing the outside of wherever we were at. But at this moment, I realize I found what I was looking for. Rather, who. I leap out the window after spotting someone and begin to chase them on the deck of the ship. This moment was the most memorable one, because after I tackled the person, they tell me that I need to search for some robot thing named, "Engima". At that very same moment, I look up and find that the ship is at a dock that's parallel to a concrete shore. Sort of like a shipping dock.

The person disappears on me and hear explosions around me and the ship. A few bombers fly by blowing parts of the dock into smithereens and some distant buildings. The bombings are short, and I see large towers off in the opposite shore of the dock that logically make up the larger part of the city. The city has a forcefield around it that keeps it protected, but disables a large hole in it to allow high-powered hoses to douse the fires from afar without risking any firemen. As I begin to start on my way to search for "Enigma", I wake up.

Conclusion
Pretty cool dreams. Certainly started off pretty good for the end of the week and the beginning of my Spring Break. Probably one of my current favorite dreams too.

Last night's fragment seemed pretty vivid, even though I can't recall much in terms of length.

I was in some trashy looking part of some fictional town just looking around. In front of a trailer, garbage and rusting metal lay strewn across the narrow entrance/yard. Pieces of corrugated metal bolted to wooden posts were used as fencing. I had a small flashlight which I decided to turn on. The light it gave off had a faint green hue to it and was dim as I pointed it around the ground. As I continued to move around the heaps of scrap metal, the dim light began to flicker. Whether this was because my brain couldn't handle shining a light at multiple objects, or simply because it had low batteries, I can't tell. In the dream however, I figured the batteries were low on it.

As I made my way to the entrance/exit, I made a left on a concrete path. Strangely enough, I found that everything was located atop a larger than possible rooftop terrace. At the 'end' of the path, there were a couple tables at opposite sides that overlooked a huge, orange-lit, city. On one table, I found a destroyed plastic device, and sitting at the opposite table were two people. It was an older looking man, and a girl who looked in her teens. He was attempting to explain the device to her, but she kept calling it evil. From what I can recall, the device was supposed to make the user lucid in their dreams. The girl at this point was spouting insane statements about how she strongly detested lucid dreaming or something to that effect. There was also a change in time, for no longer was it night, it was now at dawn and the sky was a muted blue color. Before the dream ended, I had wanted to put the device on to see if it still worked, but go figure, my alarm wakes me up. :\

Despite the dream lasting for only a few minutes, I was at least able to recall a bunch of detail about it. I know there is more to the beginning rather than just be abruptly exploring the trailer park, but I just can't seem to remember it. I think I should write down any dreams I remember after I wake up even if it's early in the morning. Happy dreaming everyone!

Last night was a better night in terms of recall, and I'm looking forward to how tonight will turn out. I have plans to use some isotones I found off of a site called iso-tones.com and will see if they help at all. But on to last night's dreams!

Abandoned Shack
Recalling the past parts of the dream is hard, and I can only offer a summary of what happened. I am with a party of people, possibly from my classes, who are investigating this abandoned, wooden shack. We are searching for some girl, but can't seem to find her and give up. Somehow, I learn that this is the only semi-habitable building located outside of a city.

The Mechanic and I
While I'm still with the group of people, there seems to be a "leader" who is making an effort to break into the city. He was like a cross between some mechanic and crazy inventor man who was trying to break us into the city. Something was said that there was a defense shield or barrier of some sort that kept people out, and we had to try to find a way in.

The dream took a slight, but apparent turn for the surreal for only a brief second as there was an oil well, that instead of shooting oil out, it was shooting out macaroni and cheese. I still don't quite understand the significance of it.

We eventually broke into the city and somehow managed to get a map of it all.

Inside the City
As the dream progressed, I soon learned that the abandoned shack was located inside of the "Projects" of the city. The reason why they sectioned it off was because of the prison located next to it and the terrible crimes that were committed.

I was now walking alone it would seem around a general urban area that looked semi-futuristic. The cars still looked normal, but the buildings had large screens on them and fancy architecture.

Things took a turn for the worse as a police task force began to "zombify" people walking on the streets before beating them down with batons. Why they were doing this is unknown, just that they were making arrests of some sort. There were two officers that started chasing people across a bridge. I jumped into a car with two other people and they drove after the officers. When one officer stopped and looked at the car, the man driving the car floored it and tried to hit him. The officer phased through and disappeared leading us to conclude that it was a hologram.

Later I learn that the officer employed the use of a hologram so he could attend his wedding, but his soon to be wife used a hologram at the wedding because she was an officer too hunting people down.

The Old Business Square
Things jumped a bit, as I found myself at a business square purchasing things at stores. It was a short fragment, but I do remember making a purchase but being told that they made a price mistake. The price went from about $400 to $80 something bucks. As I walked away, I reminisced about what the place looked like in it's heyday.

Conclusion
I think 3 dreams and 1 fragment is pretty decent given that dry spell I went through. I feel like if I keep forcing myself to write/type these things down, then I'll be able to maintain a consistent recall and start working towards lucidity. Figuring out more recurring dream elements besides the whole sci-fi thing would help too. Tonight will most certainly be better. Time to strive for lucidity! Happy dreaming everyone!

Can't say I remember much. I haven't for a while. There was a spaceship, and some sort of lounge or living room that had dark lights in it, but nothing really sticks out. I'll have better recall tonight more than likely. I'm also reading a book on lucid dreaming, so hopefully I can pull out useful advice and techniques from it.

It's a fragment, but a memorable one. I was wandering around some tall forest with only a crudely made dirt road. As I progressed through the road, I encountered an opening that had a few people by it. After talking with them, they told me how the area once was a thriving village, but that due to some reason I can't recall, it was abandoned. I stood on some sort of black stone slab that was covered in etched in shapes, and as I stood there, reality itself seemed to distort.

As things began to settle down, I looked back and forth only to find that I was in the same village, except during a different time. I drew the conclusion that it must have been the distant past that I traveled to. There was a road that had led upward where abandoned wood buildings had lain destroyed, but now those same buildings were upright and had brilliant orange glows emanating from the windows which spread distorted shadows as people walked by. I recall purchasing two dogs, but a violent man breaking out of a cabin and shooting them to death. I then got back on the slab and went to the present, but that's where my recall ends.

It's better than most of my recall this past week, but luckily I get Thursday and Friday to relax and try for a WILD then. Happy dreaming!

Just remember that I was at some suburban house that was surround by police. Next thing I know it blows up and the police travel back to downtown. Only, it's a sci-fi city and they search for some shape-shifting creature. I don't know specifics though, so hopefully I'll have it better tonight.
