Trying to improve my dream recall. Going to put down in my dream journal no recall if I don't remember. I read somewhere that doing this for two weeks should help improve my recall. Was going to do write that but then I remembered a couple of things. My cat was with another cat and swatted at it. Also I was working in Adobe Illustrator and deleted a path in the dream. I felt like I got rid of something about myself. Don't remember what but I feel better...
The events in my dream are kinda random but remembered a lot. I'm trying to get into what looks like an elevator. I'm hanging onto a rocky grassy area underneath something maybe like a bridge trying to get my girlfriend's attention. There's a crowd of men in suits somewhere. I ask my teacher if it's too late to turn in my homework and it looks like there's no one in the room we're in. I see an old friend and I don't like what he says to someone. I'm in a forest or tree area but I wasn't aware enough to know what I was doing there.
I was in my apartment in the dream. In the dream was woken up. I felt like something was going on to the apartment complex. Looked out the window and the scenery looked different than it normally does. It was like I time traveled. I really did get woken up by my cat in waking reality but was lucid for a short time.
Before bed watched a YouTube video about lucid dreaming and out of body experiences. I stayed the night at a friend's and it seemed like I had an o b e but I was probably just thinking of dreaming in my sleep. Woke up from the dream or o b e then went back to sleep.
I listened to a YouTube guided meditation video for lucid dreams. Soon after I started listening I fell asleep and had a lucid nightmare. I don't want to give a description but I didn't like what was going on I heard like a growl as if something was talking. I stayed up after I got frightened then had another not so good dream but better than the one before.
But I dreamed. In the first dream. It was like there was two realities in the same space... In the second dream I'm surrounded by fire. I got woken up by a pounding noise like someone banging on a door. It sucks having loud neighbors. I'll have to work around that and make meditation a regular practice.
I think I almost had a dream related to the question, but this big guy who might of been a professor told me something like, 'you'd better figure out a way to stay in the class.' My question didn't get answered but I find it interesting that a dream character told me that. I had gotten behind in my college work but am caught up now. If I ask the same question I wonder what would happen in the dream if I'm successful at becoming at least a little bit aware...
