    Non-Lucid Dreams

    1. Science Class/Mages in Red Robes

      by , 01-19-2016 at 10:29 AM
      I woke up in the night and did a brief WBTB before going back to sleep.

      The first dream was lucid one. I found myself back in my secondary school, walking down a corridor to a science class. It was basically my old school days, with the same people I went to school with as teenagers. I forgot the tasks, and instead of doing anything crazy, I just relived my old science class by joining in with an experiment with a couple of guys I used to mess around in class with. The dream carried on until the end of the lesson, and I remember putting away the apparatus in the corridor outside.

      After this was a non-lucid fragment. Something about Bruce Willis. I also remember seeing a girl I used to go to school with. She looked older, and slightly different. I can't remember what she was doing though.

      Another non-lucid fragment: I am in a GTA-style game. I have to shoot a man down who is stood on a bridge above me in the streets. I see him as a red dot on my radar, and I manage to do it.

      The another lucid dream: I am a "mage" in a D&D-style game, but instead of being set in a fantasy world, I am just in the normal world I live in. I come to this realization while sat on a bench in town. The weather is dark and wet, like it's just been raining. As I sit there, I see another mage in front of me. He wears red robes that cover his face. He runs at me. I fire a magical arrow at him and he doubles over and collapses.

      Then I have two mages in red robes running at me, but this time I am helping out a "fighter", who is just a normal guy in a T-shirt nearby. While he fights a mage, I take the other one out and try to aim another arrow at the mage fighting the fighter without hitting the fighter. I'm still sitting on the bench while this happens. That's the point where I woke up.

    2. Weird eighties toy

      by , 01-18-2016 at 01:01 AM
      Some fractured recall last night.

      The first part was a lucid dream, about having a "day off" (according to my notes) and travelling to a town in Cornwall with a group of people.

      I become lucid, and I decide to enter someone's home. I walk into the living room and I notice one of those toys from the eighties which is like a viewer for picture slides. Just as I'm about to go pick it up, a man walks in and asks what I'm doing here. The house belongs to a young woman who lives there. I tell him that I know the woman and it's okay, and he seems convinced by this. He leaves. I pick up the eighties slide viewer and look at the images. All I see are really old black and white pictures of two elderly, bespectacled men talking to each other.

      I lose lucidity at some point and end up dreaming about being in the military. We are simulating a terrorist attack and I have to crouch in position somewhere. I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing, so I get up and leave, which messes up the entire operation.

      Then I had another lucid dream, this time set in a multi-storey car park. Some of these people are ordinary members of the public, some are these strange people in an orange puffa jacket uniform. I gain lucidity and I decide to try throwing them into walls and out off the highest point of the car park. They just get up and smile at me.

      The final dream is non-lucid. I'm in an unfamiliar house. In one room is one of my old teachers from secondary school who I didn't like. Around him are "family members" - a couple of men who are supposed to be my uncles but don't look anything like them. I try to eavesdrop on their conversation, as it's supposed to be important but I don't catch anything.

      Then I am approached by some kid I used to know at school who is supposed to be my cousin (but isn't in real life). He wants me to figure out what they are up to, as it's supposed to be important.

    3. Meeting the neighbours (by breaking and entering their homes)

      by , 01-16-2016 at 06:01 PM
      The first thing I remember is a non-lucid fragment where the Queen is giving a speech in my town centre. I got to meet her afterwards, and although I can't remember what she said, I remember that her voice was different in conversation than when she was giving a speech.

      Then I had a fragment where I was at a workout class. I'm late, and I join the class half-way through an abs workout. I have to assemble this device to do the workout.

      The next thing I remember is suddenly being in my kitchen, still in my workout gear. I don't know how I got here, and all I know is that I need to get back to the class. I run out of the house, but I have no idea how to get to the class.

      This is where I get lucid. I walk back into the house and realize I am dreaming. I leave the house and walk into the middle of the road, which is empty of people. I cannot remember any of the tasks or goals I am supposed to be doing, but I have to do something. So I decide to try and break into the house of the people living across the road and see what happens.

      I head over and end up entering the house by a door in the side (that doesn't exist in real life). Inside, instead of someone's home, I see a dark, poorly-lit bar with wood furnishings. I approach the bar and some people come out. They turn out to be vikings. Two viking men and woman come out. I think I tried talking to one of the men, but he seemed more preoccupied with a couple of vitamin bottles that he pulled out from behind the bar. He doesn't seem to pleased with this, but is barely taking any notice of me. I leave the building before things get nasty. Then I woke up.

    4. Action on a building site.

      by , 01-12-2016 at 10:58 AM
      Woke up at 4:40am without any dream recall and decided to start a WBTB for about 15 minutes.

      My recall after that was fragmented, but there was still some lucidity.

      There was a short lucid dream where I was walking through my city.

      I woke up, then I actually WILDed into the next one: This was another short lucid dream where I was walking past the local University with crowds of students. People were handing flyers out to the students.

      Then a longer lucid dream where I am on a building site which seems to be a series of platforms over the sea, with scaffolding extending high up into the air. In the dream, the people working on this platform were my enemies for some reason. When I became lucid, instead of hiding from them I kicked one of them into the sea while he was carrying a bag of something (cement?). Then I climbed to the top of the scaffolding, and got very nervous when I realized that I was stood high above the sea on a plank of wood on flimsy scaffolding. That's the point where I woke up.

      Then there was a non-lucid. I'm in the gym. I'm working out alongside some guy who is supposed to be a manager at work, but I don't recognize him from real life. He is hogging the bench with a lot of his work stuff - folders, papers, etc. The place just feels crowded, and I just want to bench press in peace.

      Finally, there was a dream in which I am talking to a woman from work, but I don't remember what was said.

    5. Chasing bubbles - TOTM fail.

      by , 01-31-2015 at 07:34 PM
      The first dream was a short one - a weird naked guy with a beard is in my room, watching me as I sleep. I jump out of bed and I am about to beat the crap out of him before I wake up at 4am.

      I do a WBTB for about fifteen minutes before going back to bed.

      First, I dream that I am partying with a younger Benedict Cumberbatch. He has longer hair, and we seem to be hanging out in the same kinds of places that I went to as a student.

      Then I have the lucid dream: This must have come in the middle of an REM cycle, because I don't remember how I got here, and my memories of what happened after were patchy.

      I'm not sure what is going, but I seem to be in the middle of a huge celebration. It is outdoors on a huge field - might even be a valley. It is sunny, and everything is very vivid, bright and idyllic - that's the best way I can describe it. Somewhere in the middle of all this, I remember there being a game of American Football going on, but it wasn't the main focus. The focus of the party was past the game, somewhere in the distance, but I can't remember what it was. The game was just part of the festivities.

      When I became lucid, I was in the crowd somewhere outside the American Football game. There was a real party atmosphere. I noticed that there were bubbles floating around as I checked the place out. I decided to attempt the January TOTM, and try to find a crystal ball so that I could ask it about the year ahead.

      I couldn't manifest a crystal ball. So I decided to capture one of the bubbles in my hand, and use that instead. I thought maybe it could turn into a crystal ball. I held one in my hand, hoping it might solidify into a crystal ball. It sort of went grey and a little thicker, but it popped in seconds before I could ask any questions.

      This happened a couple of times before I lost lucidity.

      After that all I remember is a fragment about being in my room, and watching a strange man try to clean the mould off the walls.

    6. Strange assortment of imagery

      by , 10-11-2014 at 09:01 PM
      The imagery in this dream is so strange and out of place that I don't know why I didn't turn lucid sooner. But when I did turn lucid, it was a short one.

      The dream starts with me being a student again. I am looking at my new accomodation, which is a small bungalow in an area near to where I currently live. After looking indoors, I check the place out from outside. I notice a dark-haired, pale-skinned young woman who seems to be pissed off about something.

      I go back indoors and the landlord shows up, who turns out to be one of the managers at my job. He is in my bed, doing some sewing (there is so much weird imagery in this dream, I don't know where to start unpicking it).

      Then I am on the grounds of a wealthy estate, where they are holding a jumble sale. There are many stalls, it's almost like a marketplace. I go inside the manor house and see a middle-aged, blonde woman in business attire. She has hired a "watercolour artist" to paint bad poetry on the walls.

      The dreams turns lucid when I find myself back home, going up the stairs. A female coworker seems to be hanging out on the top of the stairs. One the landing I seem something that seems to be cobbled together from various videogames I've played in my past: a crane from Unreal Tournament. When I go up the lift, there is a bad guy from GTA3, who I try to shoot down but fail.

      I go down the lift, back to my landing. The coworker is still hanging out on the stairs, and I know that I am dreaming. I try to go down the stairs, but by this point I get the impression that the dream is fading, and I think I go back to sleep.

    7. Lights out on the seafront

      by , 09-25-2014 at 11:20 PM
      I'll start with the non-lucid dream that came before I woke up and performed a WBTB: I'm getting advice from Russell Brand on getting bodywash with a specific ingredient (can't remember what it was). Then Arnold Schwarzenegger is telling me that if he could have his time again he would be a vegetarian bodybuilder because "sometimes I feel down".

      Then I am walking into the town centre. I see a tall, ugly, weird-looking man who keeps looking at me - the kind of person you avoid eye contact with. He approaches me and starts talking about how he held a job for one day in a place where they "make milk". I was polite, but then he started dancing around me as he talked, and grabbed my ears from behind. I got aggressive, and that's when I woke up.

      After staying up for a little while I went back to bed, and had the lucid part of the dream: I was walking along the local seafront at night. The place is well-lit, but I start playing around with my phone, losing awareness of my surroundings. When I look up from my phone, I realize that all the lights had suddenly turned off. I was in almost pitch-black darkness. I could see the lights on the ships in the distance near the breakwater, and there was some light pollution from the city in the distance. But I could not see a thing in front of me.

      That's when I knew I must be lucid, because I was trying to imagine the streetlights coming back on so I could see my way in front of me. I couldn't do it.

      The rest of the dream is non-lucid. I am back in University. My accomodation is basically the same spacious room I had in the second year, but I'm sharing it with a mix of people from work and strangers. The landlord subjects us to a surprise inspection, and my place is a mess. On my desk is a pack of trading cards I had in the nineties, an old TV set, and a red/black leather bound book which is full of poetry. We all have to line up in the room as the landlord and an assistant look through the room - they seem to be searching for something, but are secretive about it.

      Then I am standing on the University campus at night. I am holding a plate of food I have just bought - chicken, chips, and some other stuff. I see a couple walk onto the grounds. They notice me, but ignore me as the man throws a heavy-looking holdall through the glass front of a campus cafe and runs in to loot the place. The woman runs off to do the same elsewhere.

      I realize I am witnessing a burglary. I reach for my phone, only to realize it isn't there - it's back at my room. I finish my plate of food first as I watch the man rob the place, before heading back.

      In my room is two of the young women. They both seem to be ill, watching the old TV set on my desk. I casually ask how everyone is as I grab my phone, expecting "fine". One of them turns around, and is about to give a long-winded answer about how ill she is, and I realize that I don't have the time to listen to her answer because I need to call the police. Then I woke up.
