Non-Lucid Dreams
10/18/2016 10:30 – 3:30 4:00 – 6:30 I was trying to find these academic papers. They were in these buildings, like a barn type thing with academic papers. There were a lot of Russian people. I remember trying to climb down a ladder trying to get this stuff. There was quite a bit that happened, but that's all I remember. <break> We were riding in a truck, no top on it I'm pretty sure, there was a lot of wind. There were a few of us in it, going so fast I slid in front of the seat on the floor and had trouble getting back up. Then later me and some guy were driving along this big tree that was way above the ground, I didn't see how far up. It was really windy tree and curved back on itself in a lot of places. We were driving across to other trees, or other parts of the same tree. We pulled off to sleep. There was power, electricity and we recharged something. One of the people with us was a girl, but I don't remember anything else about her. There were these kind of cowboy type people they had been doing something bad. We actually didn't run into them, but killed somebody apparently. There was an classroom setting part of it was people making beer, and a DC was getting mad at them going up the stairs. No sure what was going on in the class room. Where we were reading a book. Some was in Japanese and a guy was reading it super fast, so I tried to read it, but I don't remember what it said. A guy was getting kinda interviewed. They'd asked him about these guys beings sad that they'd killed that guy. But the guy interviewing them saw through it, it seemed like he was lying.
10/17/2016 10:30 – 3:30 ( I think) 4:30 - 6:30 people getting sick, but little kid like 2 got through it and was immune, and somehow spread it. A bread delivery thing. Like a little white cat or rabbit, with a dog following it around, very cute, very bright. <break> Adventure kinda thing, outside in a grassy area with trees. Bunch of people scattered hiding around, war time, there were lots of arrows no guns. It lasted a long time, I forgot a lot of it. I was trying make stuff, it was kind of like a game. I remember pressing 'm' on a keyboard and then seeing where the thing would be made, an outline kinda like ARK. There was a blue outline under some brush where I would be hidden if I went there. A bunch of people came back, like they were skirmishing, but came back. I was part of their group. I was in a wagon, and guy could hide me somehow in some fog he was saying. Then it cut to like a part where I was reading and seeing a video like you tube on a website where you could hide under a tree, by glitching under the ground and you shoot out through the tree like a it was bug in a game. Then some of the people with the wagon and saying some Japanese stuff. The guy that was going to hide asked me if we should hide. He called me 殿下(でんか) so maybe I was a noble or something, and asked if we were going to hide. Either me or someone said 当たり前.
10/16/2016 10:30 – 4:30ish 5:30 – 9:30 Similar to a game, waves of different armies that would come and you'd have to fight them. There were people in it, but the combat was a kind isometric view. There was some way to had to convince the people who were there. I was doing a lot but wasn't in charge of it. There were tanks that were a kind of Tron-like. Game kind of setting. 3D, like VR, flying a ship around trying to complete as much as you could, when your ship got destroyed you'd need to start over. There was a thing that I couldn't see, it appeared when I hit it, kinda like a pine cone shaped thing that teleported me to a different place on the level. I felt like I could see the exit maybe. There was a kind of work situation outside the came, that was pretty tense, but I don't remember what it was.
10/8/2016 10:00 – 4:00 6:00 - 9:00 <after full waking break> Setting was a kinda like my old place inside. People came over, I knew one of the from twitch, and they had a baby. I had to watch him, it was outside, the baby kept disappearing. I was trying to play games and watch tv, but the baby kept disappearing and I had go find him. I was using a tracking device of some kind for a while, with display with some red circles where it thought the baby was. Carl Lewis was there running around with his gold medal. A guy dropped his phone, which was a big deal somehow. At one point I thought that I had woken up and that wouldn't have time to go to sleep again, and try to get lucid again, but that was a false awakening. Unreal setting (CONTEXT)Knowing someone from twitch (CONTEXT)They had a baby, but they don't (CONTEXT)Disappearing baby (CONTEXT)Carl Lewis (CONTEXT)False Awakening (INNER AWARENESS) 10/11/2016 11:30 - 2:30 3:30 - 7:00 (bad sleep, sick) <after break> Something to do with a sheriff, there was a vehicle kind of like a Blazer. It had some yellowish graphic or something in the back window. It was bright and sunny in the only image I can remember. Something about people not wanting to engage something 10/12/2016 10:30 – 3:30 6:00 – 7:00 (bad sleep again, I guess I got to sleep around 6. Being sick really distracted me. Almost remembered the dream after the break, but the alarm kept going off and I had enough trouble turning it off that it blanked me out. Uninstalled that alarm, it was draining my phone battery... 10/13/2016 10:30 – 5:30 (focused on getting sleep mostly, still kinda sick, but slept fine) - A bunch of different pieces of beef were at different temperatures, some frozen. I heated them up to the same temperature. Pretty vivid. - Work dream. Sick, sneezing. - Work people I didn't know talking about being sick and working from home. It was a very realistic, natural situation.
10/4/2016 10:30 – 1:30 2:00 – 6:45 - Fantasy Setting. Multiple people going through a place. Lots of stone walls. Somehow fire burned a lot of it. We were moving bodies around it was really weird. Maybe we were hiding them or keeping them away from someone. A desperate situation. Maybe I'll remember more details later. fantasy setting (CONTEXT)I don't move bodies around (CONTEXT)Very desperate, serious situation (INNER AWARENESS) <break> - Outdoor setting. Driving two cars, one on an upper road and one on a lower road less than a mile apart. Driving one and then getting out and moving the other one forward, then doing the same thing. Pretty nice looking country. ridiculous way of moving cars (ACTION) - Maybe connected to the first thing. There was a community dinner thing like it was some kind of retreat. They served me this nasty looking fish and I was pretty sad. A whole fish, about as big as a sandwich. It was not what I wanted at all. I was trying to find some bread. I'd gotten some Nutella and was looking for toast. A guy tried to help me, maybe he did, but then that part was over. There was some smuggling or pilfering going on there. Some hiding around corners and trying not to be seen. I remember them sneaking packages of meat around. Maybe I helped them a little. There was a girl in a white dress they were calling Inertia. unrealistic confusion about food (CONTEXT)I don't smuggle or steal things (CONTEXT)the girl was out of place somehow (CONTEXT, INNER AWARENESS) 10/5/2016 10:30 – 4:30 (don't know when break happened) Slept through, didn't wake up enough to remember anything 10/6/2016 10:15 – 5:00 (don't know break time, didn't remember it) <break> Maybe a younger setting, but not a real one. Was talking to a girl I knew in school at social gathering. Showed her a notebook with maps from a lot of D&D games that I'd played (maybe in another dream). It looked like the parties had been wiped going from the drawings. As I was showing a specific one, the scene changed into that run, I knew what the transition was. She reacted to the scene change, then I didn't see her anymore. There was a board on board fence that I could see through easily with a regular guy egging on a giant, like 8 feet, not incredible, to come after us. He threw a spear that was like 12 feet long at me, but missed and broke it mostly in half. He broke off about half of it and ran after me down the street. I sprinted down the hill, but he was too fast, so I got on top of the fence and ran along it. He did the same thing. I was shaking the fence a couple feet off center in each direction, but he still didn't fall off. I didn't really feel like I was going to get hurt. It ended then. Younger setting (CONTEXT)Girl I knew in school (CONTEXT)Visual transition to another scene (FORM)I felt like the transition was not real (INNER AWARENESS)A giant (FORM)Standing and running on the fence (ACTION)I wasn't worried about the giant (INNER AWARENESS) 10/7/2016 10:30 – 4:30 Got up early, didn't remember much
9/25/2016 10:30 - 5:00 (wk at 3:00) (1?) 7:00 - 10:00 (3?) - Almost didn't remember anything, but didn't give up and remembered. Kinda like a TV show, NY maybe. It was like that was some stuff at the end, not the main part. I remember a house. <break and could not get back to sleep> - A lot of guitar store dawdling around, eventually some super vivid fast playing, very crisp sound. Close up view of my hand playing, it felt like I was completely in sync with my picking and clean. played better than I normally can (ACTION) - More of the guitar store setting, don't remember much else - Very strange dream, part work/office, but not real work. This centered on going to lunch and rounding people up to go. Ex co-worker JDC, a girl I knew in high school and another DC. There was something about a some TV I had setup and someone moved it for a meeting. The girl and my friend were there and the girl had an Elmo about 3 inches tall with a tv for a head that they were watching. The Elmo tv thing was on its side. And she had her head laying the the table sideways as she watched it. We finally ended up leaving the girl behind. I kept getting my foot stuck in hinge side of a door in crowded hallway, like in school, when it opened. They had painted around it in some way that made you want to put your foot into the wrong place, it was weird. Met a guy that followed along with us after some other stuff. Eventually his dad showed up too. We had lunch at this place in a really tall building, which after we had climbed up it, flew up it pretty much, it kind of disintegrated and the city or whoever replaced it with a very unnatural looking little palm tree thing about 5 feet tall. We had pictures of the place before it went away and were showing it to passers by and saying we didn't think it was right for it to be replaced with that thing. groups of people who don't belong together (CONTEXT)school setting (CONTEXT)Elmo TV (FORM)strange perspective on the door (FORM)climbing a building (ACTION)building disintegrating (ACTION)unrealistic petitioning of passers by (ACTION)sad about the building going away (INNER AWARENESS)
9/21/2016: 10:00 - 6:00 (wk at 12:45ish) (1?) 6:00pm - 8:45 (1) restless, had trouble sleeping <break> - Entered a church to meet someone. Saw her briefly, didn't talk. The appearance inside was kinda faded like an old picture. Very fancy, marble stuff on the walls. Blue carpet and the walls were mostly white. They had a quality like an image that had been zoomed in to far. It had a name that I don't remember, but there was some kind of pun. strange looking walls (FORM)funny church name (CONTEXT) <nap> - Airfield: DC doing some kind of work on airplanes. Saw Osprey kind of aircraft. Was explaining to some DC that a the wing was better than just a prop in the wing. A little more stuff. Followed behind a plane for some reason, got unrealistically close. DC had a chance to work on one of them a little, but had to go do something else. wrong job for WL version of DC (CONTEXT)close following of a plane (ACTION) 9/22/2016 11:30 - 5:00 (wk at 4:15) (?) Did not remember anything in detail 9/24/2016 10:30 - 2:30 Got lost in an area, but found my way back somehow. Looking at my route on a map showed how far iId messed up. Was riding with a DC and he was driving funny and ended up on the wrong side of the freeway. He drove across a median somehow and got back on the right side. Somehow I ended up outside the truck and watched him run into a huge fir tree that was sticking between decks of like a freeway bridge. The tree knocked the top deck onto the lower deck. I kind of caught my breath in shock at what had happened since there were 8 or so cars. The DC started stacking the cars back by hand, which seemed kind of weird since he was big enough during that time to pick them up with one hand, then they swam off. I tried to follow them, but was unable to catch up. I think he felt bad about what had happened. I felt kind of sad for the DC. Tree in strange place (CONTEXT)Truck knocking down a huge tree (ACTION)person being the wrong size (FORM)DC stacking cars (ACTION)I was shocked (INNER AWARENESS)strange actions by DC (ACTION)
9/21/2016: 10:30 - 6:00 (wk at 12:44) (4?) - office environment, setting up something at a desk. Weird adapters, had someone get one for me at a store. Cut to different scene with someone next to me singing some kind of soul song really well at a desk next to me, kind of embarrassing, but I was curious to see the other people react. Cut to some detailed walking around in a house (I think it was where I lived.) Looked at strange white curtain, not see through, but a lot of light came through it. I questioned why houses so close together (like 5 feet) would have such big windows facing each other, right about then an alarm sounded and some guy was there for some reason throwing something, with a bucket or something similar. It seemed like that was okay, not sure, the alarm was startling though and that was the end. Maybe I almost got lucid. weird plug type (FORM)abrupt scene change (CONTEXT)DC singing at strange time (ACTION)strange house layout (FORM)strange bailing action by DC (ACTION)out of place alarm (CONTEXT) <break> - Detailed indoor stuff, walking around, saw random people. A mom with little kids and one of them kind of straying. I let her know that her kid was running off, and she got them corralled. Later saw them in a library type thing, she kind of smiled when she saw me like the little kid was going where we were going to be anyway. Saw an old, brown leather book with a swoosh on it. Saw a wooden book cart crammed with books, kinda like they are at Powells. book with a swoosh (FORM) - Working outside, worried about someone I worked with who apparently got hurt. Asked about him, I guess he was going to be okay
To start off, I'm going to transfer some DJ entries here, so there will be more than one day a lot of times, since they can be pretty light on info: 9/17/2016: 11:00 - 8:00 - motocross/something on track, no sound, floaty, reentered same one with no vehicle for a short time driving with no vehicle (ACTION) - Chicago police guy tries to get me to buy something for hockey tickets while showing website, really vivid, scrolling around. He said Red Wings tickets for some reason wrong team for the city (CONTEXT) 9/18/2016: 10:30 - 6:00 (wk at 2:37) - heroes game, losing, new map - tried DEILD after jolting awake, some HI, but tried to RC too early I think. I did the nose pinch RC and just was awake <break> - getting back to sleep took a while, lost attention and just fell asleep, no chance to interact with transition 9/19/2016: 10:00 - 5:30 (wk at 2:15) (5 or 6) - heroes type game, more vivid running around - same, people mixed in Not an actual game that I know about (CONTEXT) <break> - kinda talking to people or something, a couple sessions of that 9/20/2016: 10:00 - 4:15 (wk at sometime) (about 2) 7:30 - 10:30 (2) - don't remember before the break <break> - pretty long, maybe SciFi salvage or something at the end was eating something greasy and good while being nagged about it by some female co worker Sci Fi job setting (CONTEXT)Felt the nagging pretty keenly (INNER AWARENESS) <wake at 4ish> - tried to avoid re-entering that last one to avoid being nagged and ended up not being able to get back to sleep mostly due to thinking about WL <break> - computer stuff of some kind. Something broke that we pretty much knew was going to break but didn't do anything about (had a deja vu later in the week) - back to the same setting, don't remember what happened, just slice of life I think
