23.05.2010In a hotel... on a hot day (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I had a false awakening in a hotel. I usually perform RC when I wake up, but it seems I forgot to do it this time. I was thinking I had to write down my dreams and I was trying to recall them. My dream turned in third person and I saw myself lying in bed (in the hotel) tried to recall when I suddenly fall asleep. I find out that I started to dream. I knew that my dream body was in one dream and a second dream was about to start. I knew I had to transfer my dream body from dream #1 to dream #2. I was lying down in the bed (in the hotel) concentrating. I could not leave dream #1 so I opened my eyes for a second and closed it again. I realized I've lost both dreams. I decided to sit in bed. The TV was showing "The Simpsons" My wife was next to me. It was a very hot day and the AC was not working. My wife had a water spray and sprayed herself with it. She claimed it was a hot day but she had to time to take a shower. In the TV, Homer Simpson was sweeping. He was outdoors in the country, crying and surrounded by typical Simpsons characters. Snake approached him. He wore his regular clothes and started to dance with Homer. After this I woke up I can't recall what happened next both on the TV and on the hotel. I had some difficulty recalling this dream, but I think I got it entirely.
23.05.2010Two Women (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I can remember there were two women in my dream. One of the woman was happy and the other one was upset. I think the upset woman wanted to learn something. She was trying to get a new skill. We all were in a store, it could be the Olive Oil store but I'm very unsure. The second woman was trying to teach the first woman or tried to screw her up, can't recall properly. I had a false awakening and I wrote down my dream. I can't recall where was the false awakening. After it, I woke up for sure I was not interacting in the dream, I was just observing it. I remember the store was a wide place, it was day and well illuminated. The walls had a clear painting and everything looked clean.
23.05.2010Lucidity discussion (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I can only remember that I was talking with a friend in my dream. Both of us were talking about our dream. We said that we were dreaming and that both of us were lucid. I mark this dream as non lucid, as we were talking we were lucid but I do not feel it was a lucid dream. It was that kind of fake lucidity.
23.05.2010Homework at a hotel (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I was at a hotel with my wife. The room was well illuminated. The bed was on the right and the TV on the left. At the end of the room there were two windows. The curtains were light brown and I could see sunlight behind them. There was a wooden desk. My wife was not enjoying the hotel and she just wanted to checkout. I was doing some kind of homework. It was like a "go back to school homework" I do not go to school so it had to be that. I wanted to finish it first. We went to do the checkout and I appeared in a coffee house (inside the hotel.) It was crowded, full of people. The tables were round and small. I was at a table next to a corner. I left somewhere for a while. When I came back, my wife was not there anymore. My backpack, notebooks and more stuff was still left at that table. I wanted to finish that work I had to do. My mom appeared and asked me what I was doing This could be a good clue for lucidity, as my mom is about 7000 miles from San Diego! I showed her my work and she told me that finally I decided to go back to school. I remember I had a green big book and a small notebook (very similar to my dream journal, if not the same one) I think I did math exercises. At the end of the of the exercise, there was a small questionnaire asking how did you finished your work. It had several options. I can't recall all of them, but I remember the first one was, "You bough the solutions book and you copied them into the exercise." While I was doing this my dream faded and I woke up
23.05.2010Getting another job???? (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I'm missing some pieces of this dream, but I can remember that I've found a new job. I did not understand why, I'm happy with my current jobs. I was in a store and I was signing some legal paperwork to get hired. I was very happy in this dream. The store appeared to be a car parts shop, but I can't recall. I remember I saw the back room and it was huge.
23.05.2010Getting a Red Honda Bike and getting it stolen (DILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID For some unknown reason. I bough a bike. It was big, red and shinny. I loved the bike. I felt I needed that bike to go to work. Probably my wife got her driver's license and she was driving our car. I was excited about my new bike. I never drove one before (I only rode bikes) and I had to go home for the first time with my bike. The bike looked something like this: I started riding it. I could hear the engine and feel the wind in my face. I felt proud of my bike. It was night, and I was tired so I went to sleep to a hotel. Something happened here, but I can't recall. I have a False Awakening in the same hotel room. The first thing I though it was about my bike. I knew I had the keys with me but I wanted to make sure it was OK. I left the hotel. I started to ride my bike again. I've been riding for a while, I rode over country and on the freeway. I parked my bike in a mall. I was going to get some supplies for the bike and a helmet, for some unknown reason, I had no helmet. I spend a while in this mall, a few females wanted to ride the bike with me and I can remember I ate something in the mall, but once more, I grabbed my bike and left. I think I did not buy the helmet after all. Night falls again and I stop in a small house in the middle of a forest. I did not feel like leaving my bike outside, I was worried some wild animals could damage it. Both the bike and I entered the wooden house. It was warm inside and it was almost empty. Inside, there was a mattress and a small table. I lied down in the mattress and the bike was on my right. I fell asleep and False Awakened in the morning. I opened one eye and I saw proudly my bike next to me. The front wheel was touching my mattress. I had another False Awakening. I think I was in a car repair workshop. I was worried if my bike was OK. I saw that my bike was a little damaged, but it had minor scratches. Everything looked OK. I left the workshop and rode it. I've been riding for a while until the dream vanishes. I had a False Awakening in a small store. A couple of people entered the store and they had their face covered. I felt scared because I though they were going to pull out a gun and rob the store. I started to walk backwards slightly until they turned around and started to leave. I felt better as I saw the face of one of them. They were just covering their mouth and nose. I suddenly realize that my bike was not there. When I fell asleep, I was holding the keys of the bike and the bike was parked next to me, inside the store. (The wooden house appeared to be a store) I started to feel worried. The bike was brand new and it was already stolen from me. I had another False Awakening. I was suddenly in a different room, still thinking about my stolen bike. I was planning to go out of the house and look if the bike was parked there, however, I felt that the bike was really stolen because I knew well where I saw the bike before it was gone I suddenly realized I was dreaming. I was not feeling good so I just started to push my eyes and close them thighs. I was trying to wake up myself. The image started to fade until I realized myself, "Why I am waking up? My bike is not stolen. I can summon it back." I decided to move away from bed. I performed a RC and looked at my hands. They looked fine... or at least if what I first thought This might be because just before going again to bed, I read this: Originally Posted by Serenity RC's have a 100% fail rate to me, I can't even do the standard ones anymore. I have to do other things like try to float. Looking at my hands actually seems to be okay, since they are usually missing So that could help. My subconscious mixed "my hands actually seems to be okay" and "RC's have a 100% fail rate to me" Sorry Serenity, no hard feelings!!!! I kept lucid after all, but your statement mixed in my dream! I looked a second time to my hands because I could swear they were blurry. I had all five fingers in my left hand, however, the Middle Finger was forked into two small fingers. On the right had I had some anomalies that I can't recall. I left the room and I realized that my house was in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by mountains. It was a wooden house and it looked very cool. The house had two floors and I was in the top floor, so I started going to the main floor. I pinched my nose to see if I was able to breath. I was able to breath, however, I did breath like if I had a bad bad cold with mucus. I cleared my nose and kept walking. My dream was clear, but I wanted to make it crystal clear. I remembered that in other lucids after performing several reality checks I could reach that point. I was about to leave the house when I looked around for books, to try to read. I see a shelve full of books so I grabbed one. The title looked blurry but I opened the book and try to read. Everything was blurry and I could not read. I looked away but did not reach the crystal clear dream, so I stared at the book to try to read something, hoping the text would do something funny and reach perfect clarity. Bad choice. I did not remember that staring at something in your dream can screw it. My dream started to fade. I was thinking, "No, No, No, Nooo!!! And I started to look around to try to recover stability. The dream faded completely and disappeared along with my lucidity I have another False Awakening. I wake up in a room, similar to mine. Even I could see one of my cats sleeping in the pillow in the same position where she was before I fell asleep for real I grabbed my notebook and started to jot down my dream about the bikes. I could not write well but this time I performed no reality checks. I though I was about to fall asleep again, so I allowed myself to fall back. I think I had to beds and I was going to fall between them, but I did not care, somehow I know I was not going to get hurt. I started to perform a WILD and I could feel my body paralyzed and I saw some hipnagogic images (yes, in my own dream) until I felt asleep and woke up in my real room for real.
23.05.2010SGO II (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I was at my computer. I entered in the game operator's site to handle users claims and concerns. There is a small list to choose the world you want to see those messages. You can only see one world (the world you are assigned as a Game Operator) I pulled the list and saw more worlds. I was excited because I found out I became a super game operator. I awoke
23.05.2010Ball Fights (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I was with some friends at the park. We were talking about soccer. I have not seen this people in ages. They are thousands of miles away and I do not contact them anymore. I also met some people from college, from friens to people I did not talk with. I've even seen some bullies trying to bull some folks. This could make me lucid, it was clear I was in a dream but did not get it. We bought a soccer ball. One of our friends was araid of getting hit and hurt by the ball, however, she was not afraid anymore and he was willing to play our game. We were going to play a game were we would throw the ball, trying to hit someone. If the ball hits someone, that player is eliminated. If someone catches the ball in the air, the player who threw it is eliminated. While we were playing, some other players got hit and eliminated. The bullies were targeting the easiests ones and gaining lots of points. One of the bullies (the tallest one) threw the ball. Now it was a small green ball, like a tenis ball, but it was bouncy. I felt that the ball was going to get me. It approached very fast. I jumped to the ground, but the ball reached me. The ball hit my left ear, but I was able to grab it and eliminate the bully. I realized that I was not the target after all, the bully was targeting another guy, but I was just in the middle. Some people (specially the people that always got bulled) thanked and cheered me. They were happy because the bully was eliminated. I felt good and woke up
23.05.2010Lucid Dreaming Discussion (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I was talking with some folks about dreams and lucidity. Most of the discussion was over the #luciddreaming chat, however, I think that I was also discussing about it with some folks in person. I woke up with good feelings.
23.05.2010Ending 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.
23.05.2010Wife's facebook game (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I was in the computer doing stuff and my wife said she was excited because her pet (a game she plays) rose one level. I could see starts when her pet rose the level. The fun stuff, I asked her if she rose a level and she told me, "Yeah, this morning" I told her I dreamed she rose her level during the night and that I could see stars. She freaked out because in the game, you see starts when you raise a level and I've never seen her game...
23.05.2010In 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.
23.05.2010Wife 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.
23.05.2010Forgot to do something at work and went back (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I was about to leave work (Spain Products store) until I realized I wanted to return to put away a Nocilla (like Nutella) that I left inside a drawer. The front door of the store was locked. I tried to enter from the restaurant and I was neither able to enter. The store is also linked to a restaurant, same owner I saw the Chef so I asked him if he could help me to go back inside the store (he has the key) he told me he could not open the front door so he invited me to enter through the back-room. It was a dream back-room as there is no such thing in the real store. We walked down and it was very dark. I did not feel afraid, I just wanted to enter the store. The access from the back-room to the restaurant was blocked by several boxes. Those boxes were shaped like the boxes we have in the Olive Oil store. Aida, one of the Chef's assistance helped us to move away the boxes so I could get in. Some of the boxes fell of to the ground and broke. They made a mess, but it was not really bad. Once I was able to enter, I saw my boss and he shook my hand and left. I also saw the supervisor. I told her what I intended to do and why it was there. She explained to me an issue that my co-worker had with a customer. She told me that she gave oranges to a customer who was allergic to them. The supervisor told me that she was annoyed from people that needed to grab or do something at their job. She told me she did not like people clocking in for just five minutes. I told her I did not clock in. She told me I did fine. I woke up.
23.05.2010Cheating and accepting the cheat (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I was observational in this dream, I was just observing the plot. I guy was talking with his wife. She was with another guy at a restaurant talking. This guy was upset because his wife was very happy with this other guy. The guy asked for an explanation to his wife and she told him, "Well, I like him a lot but I do love you?" He asked a lot of questions to his wife about if they had sex or if she wanted to. They guy did not appear happy at all This dream is broken because I was not able to recall everything. It was a long dream but the main plot is described.
