Ending my job and moving somewhere (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had various FA and I think I lost a couple of dreams, but I'm unsure.

I can remember that for some unknown reason i got fired from one of my jobs (if you followed my journal you know I work at a Olive Oil Store, well, this dream I got fired from my other job, a Spain Imported products retailer)
I did not feel bad at all, I somehow was OK with it. I was thinking I could use the extra money from the job but it was not strictly necessary. My boss did not gave me a strong reason of firing me.
My wife and Hanna (a co-worker from the Olive Oil Store) were together in our place. It was a different place. I think it was a studio were I lived in Chicago with my wife a few years ago.

We were moving to another place. I remember entering the apartment and seeing a big white carpet. There were two big suitcases at the end of the room.
The room looked like this (without the table)







All the furniture was gone. There was a small room with a few boxes. I asked my wife and she told me that those boxes were going to be left there, for the next tenant. I remember seeing several bottles. One of them was Marie Brizar







I had a feeling that a few really really old wine bottles I have at my parent's house were going to be left there and I complained. We were talking about the moving and my job where I got fired. I claimed it was not my fault, that I was doing my job well done. Hanna told me that it had to be my fault as I got fired and I arrived home without another (new) job. I claimed I had my Olive Oil store job and that I was fine. I woke up.

In a sleep laboratory (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was in a sleep laboratory. There was a nice lady that told me she was very proud of me. I had connected a device to my head that was able to read my REM phases and also it was able to read when I was dreaming deeply.







I asked her if the chip could download my dreams to a file to make them viewable. She told me it was not possible, but she explained to me that it beeped when I was having a vivid dream only. She told me it did beep a lot. In fact, I heard it beeping a couple of times.

I had a FA somewhere I can't recall. I had my dream journal and I jotted down my dreams. I wrote down a list about a previous dream I had, but I can't recall it. I woke up for real.

Wife is hearing music and making noise very early morning (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had a FA in my room. I remember I awoke and I opened my eyes slightly but I did not move. I was up to date with all my dreams so I planned to attempt DEILD. It's a fake DEILD, as I was dreaming everything. I felt my body vibrate. It vibrated very hard and I though I was going to have an OBE. I was a little excited and afraid, but I just kept meditating. I was happy because whatever it leaded to (LD or OBE) it was going to be a nice experience.

My wife broke my concentration as she was hearing music and news out loud. I could hear the music and the news coming from her phone. She talked to me a couple of times and asked me a few questions. I got mad at her and I told her she screwed my DEILD up. She also got mad at me claiming that she could never talk with me. We've been mad for a short time until my wife asked me if I wanted to know what happened.

She told me something like, "Do you know that plane that almost crashed in Salamanca? Well, a lot of people cried and freak out. It was worse than the earthquake at Haity. More people suffered in Salamanca." I woke up.

The cat is outside (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had a false awakening in my room.

I somehow knew I was dreaming before the RC, but the RC confirmed it. I do a RC and it fails. I left my bed slowly as I did not want to wake up sooner than I expected. I walked around my house until I felt my dream was a little more stable. My house as usual was very dark. I decided to leave my place, so I opened my front door. It was not locket.
One of my cats was right on the other side of the door. I was scared because I though she was going to scape. My lucidity was gone and the dream faded.

Earthquake (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had a false awakening in my room and the ground was shaking. The feeling was the same that a recent big earthquake I felt in San Diego. I was hopping my home would not fall. I asked my wife if she felted it. She was drowsy and did not answer me.

The Earth melts while I enjoy a chocolate cake in the moon (MILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was at home, in my room. It was day and I was going to leave somewhere with my wife. I became lucid instantly

My wife was ready to go, but I walked around home to make sure my dream was stable enough. I had a small flight around home, but nothing fancy, I levitated a bit and flew around.

I told my wife, "Hold on, this is a Dream and I'm lucid. I want to make it stable first!!" She looked at me like if I was nuts. I remember that I could blast the Earth and destroy it (for the "End of the World" task of the year) I rose my hand and created an energy blast. However, the blast was not stable so I decided to stop and hold tighter to the dream.

I remembered that a user in this forum had in his signature "Pray" as a goal within his lucid dream. I prayed for a few moments to accomplish it (It's not my goal, but I wanted to do it anyway)

I appeared at a theme park. I enjoyed the theme park, rode a few things, walked around and observed how fun were having other DC. I remember the park was very vivid. The sky was very blue, the theme park was crowded of people and I could see a lot of detail.

I remember about doing the task of the year. I thought that a gladiator fight would be easier as I was in a theme park. I started to look for gladiators. I could not find any so I asked a policeman and to a couple of DC. They directed me and I kept walking without any success. I found a kiosk store for Cricket Wireless. One of the employees grabbed my arm and I pushed him abruptly. The other employee told him, "Hold on. Not yet." I asked him if he knew were the amphitheater was. He pointed me to it and asked me, "So, what cell phone do you have now?" I replied, "I have a HTC Mytouch. Cricket does not offer such phone, so sorry." Both salesman appeared sad.

I kept walking and I found a weird restaurant were I was indicated. I asked one of the employees about the gladiators. She told me, "Yeah. It's here." I entered the restaurant and walked down a few stairs. I got to a room with not much light. The decoration was old school. There were a few tables around. The tables were round with a candle in the middle. At the end, there was a small theater. There were Mariachis dancing and singing in Spanish. I asked another employee about the gladiators and she told me it was going to be next. I was a little annoyed because I did not want to wait, I was afraid to wake up. I realized that if I saw the gladiator fight, it would not be valid. I was somewhere in the future and I had to be in the actual time in order to accomplish it, so I just flew away.

I was walking with another friend. I told him I wanted to do the Task of the Year. He looked at me with a weird face. I decided that as I was in the future, I could complete the task, "End of the World" I knew that it was OK if I destroyed the Earth in order to provoke the End of the World. I remembered I could do energy blasts.

I flew to a small building and my friend did as well. I've made an energy blast twice big as a basketball. It looked like this:







The blast was intense, but it had not much color and I felt it was like a bubble. I threw it in the water and I saw it vanish inside the crust of the Earth. My friend laughed at and and claimed it did nothing. I was sure it would damage the Earth but I did not know how, so I told him to hold on.

Suddenly, I see bubbles in the water and my friend says, "Oh... how scary." I replied, "Oh yeah? Just hold!" Suddenly, a giant gaiser showed up. The water was very hot and it reached the sky. My friend said, "Oh.. a geiser. Like if you are going to destroy the Earth like that." A few DC freaked out, but not many. I told him, "The gaiser will raise the Earth Temperature... but one gaiser may not be enough for you, how about several?" My friend stopped laughing and started to worry.

I threw several energy blasts and the same effect happened. All the DC were freaking out, screaming and running. There were several gaisers and the whole atmosphere was turning into a wall of vapor. The heat skyrocketed and the North Pole started to melt. The water level started to raise very fast.

I had an unfinished building on my back, so I started to climb it the same way an ape would do it







My friend came with me until I reached the top of the building. The water level was on my head, so I decided to swim to a taller building. The water was very hot, but it was bearable. I asked my friend if we would have time to swim before everything starts to boil. I get tired of dealing with it and I just jump and reach the moon. My friend followed me. My friend had a chocolate cake in his hands. He claimed it was from his country.

I was observing the fate of the Earth from the moon. The Earth was all blue, I could not see any of the continents. A huge mass of clouds covered the entire earth. This mass of clouds was thinker and thinker until I witnessed the Earth melting itself. The whole planet melted and disappeared.

I was in the mood, enjoying the cake proud of my accomplishment. Neil Armstrong came to my mind, and I though in summoning him, however, I remembered that I was only allowed one task per dream so I passed.

I observed the moon to see if I found someone such Raven or Wakingnomad, but I saw no one but my friend. I could see a few vagrant images from videogames floating around the moon. I also saw a pikachu's head.

I was happy enjoying the moon but I decided it was time to wake up and write down the dream. It passed a lot of time and I was afraid of forgetting it. I summoned a bed, lied down and closed my eyes.

I had a false awakening without lucidity. I told my wife I had to write down my dream. I ran out of my bed and went to the backyard. I sat in a iron chair and used an iron table (classic white garden iron table) I opened my DJ and it was full, no room to write the dream down. I was afraid I would forget the dream so I called my wife for another journal.

She told me that before getting my first journal, I had to remove all the cash and credit cards attached to my dream journal (There were credit cards attached like additional pages of the journal and business cards from several companies) I grabbed a few $20 bills and put them in my pocket while I laughed. The dream vanishes and I wake up.

FA: Remove target dream from the brain (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I usually get tons of FA in my dreams, even three or more in a row, threatening my recalll as I write them down over and over, but usually I'm not fooled by them.

I had a false awakening and I wrote down my last dream. It was a long dream. I talked with a friend about stuff of Super Game Operator and I bad game operator I knew and I was planning to fire him. I woke up.

I tried to write down the dream and my short FA dream... the first dream was wiped out from my mind. I could not even remember a feeling. I'm not even sure if within the FA dream I dreamed I had a dream. But I recalled nothing but the FA. So, for once FA success in erasing a dream from my mind

Bottomless pit with a cork at the end inside a cave in the dessert (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was inside something that looked like cave. I think it was dark, but it was lit inside as I could see everything perfectly. There was a party going on. There was a mix of human people and citizens from Bikini Bottom (Sponge Bob) The cave was brown and there was a large table with alcoholic drinks, non alcoholic drinks and random food. There was one fish lady (a female random character from Sponge Bob) asking for drinks.
I do not know why but I was next to a well. The well was said to be bottomless. I knew if I jumped inside the well I was not going to die as I could not die in the dreamworld, or if I did I would just regenerate somehow So I jumped inside the well. It was very dark inside and I was falling for a while. I reached the bottom (it was bottomless with a bottom) I landed gently and I did not get hurt. There was a HUGE CORK at the bottom of the well. I removed the cork (it was bigger than me) and there was another hole. Darker. I jumped inside Something happened here but can't say, lost it while jotting it down I was in the party once more, inside the cave. The party was still going on. Same human and Sponge Bob's people. One character told me if I wanted to go to a room with her Can't recall if it was human or fish I told her, "Thanks but I rather not" She walked away. I think I ate something at the party, unsure though. Fake Awakening 1 I woke up somewhere. I grabbed my notebook and started to write down my dream. I was able to write, however, I finished too fast to write all the details. I did not try to to read what I just wrote. Fake Awakening 2 I woke up in the cave again. I jotted down my entire dream in a notebook and put it into my pocket. I walked outside the cave with satisfaction because I was able to wake up myself without a clock and jot down my dream. I exited the cave. It was dawn. I could see some soft light beams coming from the sun. The exit of the cave leaded me to a dessert. It was yellow. There was nothing but sand. Slowly the image vanished I woke up happy in bed real awakening because I was able to jot down my dream, until I realized that I wrote nothing. Grabbed my notebook and finally jotted the dream for real.
