non-lucid

A challenge. I was with some people. Two of us were pulled out by some kind of master. His clothing reminds me of Middle East, although he doesn't have a beard and all. He looks quite young, probably early 20s.

We're somewhere near a beach, with tall grasses. He pointed out the gigantic crab claws waving above the tall grasses. We're supposed to fight them. I got scared. I said something like, "You've got to be kidding me!" Then another set of claws appeared.

The master started clicking his fingers to call the giant crabs. I said wait, but started running back at the same time, and clicking my own fingers. I saw a lot of other claws appear. One giant crab finally went out of the grasses, which I assumed was their home. I went after my other companion and snapped its claws against him. Then it went after me. It's red and huge. I waved my arms to drive it away, and it went back to the other guy.

Finally, I used magic to send some sort of water wave against it. I don't know what logic I used, but I guess the crab was weak against it, because it drove it away. Then I started shooting water attacks against the rest of the giant crabs, until they became small (or went so far away as to look small).

Then I sensed a bigger danger. We hid inside and behind rock houses (yes, rock, not stone). We saw a HUGE lizard pass by.

Someone asked the master to stop the lizard, but he said no. It's still part of our training. That's why he timed it today. I think I somehow also knew the lizard would be coming today, which made me hesitant to use my powers earlier.

Somehow, I ended up outside with two others. The lizard was right ahead of us. I thought of summoning a wall, but decided to summon a tower around us. Then we flew up to the top. I saw the lizard down below. I shot it with a lightning spell, and it died.

Then I was in a town or village. A guy (the master?) was pouring soup into a plastic container, but it was so hot it melted it. We had to use an extra one. Had thoughts about salvation, and how our good works would not be enough. Got depressed at the thought. Snow?

My hometown. There was some sort of race. I wanted to join. I went home to get proper clothing. There's a sort of train there. My clothing were in a rectangular box. There were two of them. One contains files and books.

I was traveling with some people. I think I saw some relatives. Then I was watching a platform game. The character reminds me of Mario and Luigi. They're small, and they're on a toilet bowl. Unfortunately, they can't find a way to the next level. One of them found a way to lower the water level, and go through the hole.

The scene changed to a boss challenge. A zombie. I get to decide the life of the zombie. I had the choice of 1 HP, 47 HP, and some others. I was thinking of choosing the 1 HP, but decided it's too easy. I chose 47. It's like an abandoned school ground area, with a night zombie mood. And he's huge. Our characters were minuscule, like characters in the Ragnarok Online game.

We ran. The twins panicked and got left behind. They fought it a bit. Good thing they're close-range weapon wielders. Meanwhile, the mage found a spot to cast a spell. I found a spot near him and shot arrows. I think I shot three that hit the zombie.

Then the zombie went to where we were. Good thing I was small enough, so I slipped through. It ignored me and pummeled (I think) the mage. I ran, and found another character lazily sitting on the side. Then suddenly, from behind me, the zombie shouted my name and told me to come back. I obliged.

I found the rest of the characters with the zombie, teaching us where we went wrong. He told me in particular that I counted three hits but he kicked those arrows away. He said I should check again to see if my shots were clear. I felt insulted. I decided to label him Zombie Master, but I think Master Zombie sounds cleaner.

A house. I was asked to do some acrobatics. Told him I'm not that good yet, and that the cord is loose. He told me it will just fix itself. I avoided them and left. Some time later, I went back to drink some water. I saw a lot of teens all around.

I was being chased by some people or some monsters. I was inside a building. Dark-yellowish tint. I was in the hallway. Behind me, there's a humanoid monster. I ran, but then found there's another one up ahead. I found a small, open "space" seemingly "carved" on the wall, with a couple of small boxes. I went there and covered my head and feet with the boxes, hoping it's too dark, and that the monsters are too stupid to realize it was me. Then, a spotlight moved about, and found me. The monsters went after me. I struggled and ran out.

I went outside the streets, jumped down the overpass, and grabbed on to the cyclone wire as I was falling down, and ran down the street to find a car. I found an auto and jumped in. I asked the driver where he's going. He said a word or place, but I forgot what it was. He looks cute, and he wears semi-formal clothes.

He does not seem to mind I'm there, and I think he was even humming as we drove through the traffic. I keep looking around, in case we might actually be headed where I don't want to be.

Then we were walking down the street. I keep looking back at him in case he gets snatched by the enemy. He looks very calm.

Fast forward, we were "racing" on the street. Running. There are people and monsters ahead of us. I raised my right hand, and a great light shone from my palms, and the enemies scattered. Then the "road" was a river, and then suddenly, the water fell below us: a waterfall. Yellow sky. I grabbed him and "redirected" our fall to a nearby wall.

We hid there. It's a small space on cliff, surrounded by low-lying walls. Just across, we can see it's a "base" of the enemy. We just waited there. Eventually, an ally passed by. A security guard who feels familiar. He probably has been in my previous dreams. He said everything's safe. We went "down" to the house. The one across has a new owner. Looked like my high school classmate Ken. He's with his family there. For some reason, I thought he might be angry at me for "killing" something or someone of his. A pet? I think I killed his "pet" to protect mine. Our eyes met.

Sleep: 2:20 AM
Intention: "I will remember my dream"
Didn't hear alarm set 4 hours later.

7:27 AM

I was near the Bacolod North Terminal. I think it was afternoon. I was with some friends, watching buses go by, south-east direction. One says Xan of Carlos, or something. A friend mentioned that there are several same-name cities, so they have to specify which city. That confused me. I believe the term or idea "factory" was also included.

It was night. I was still there with friends, looking directly south. Almost no vehicles in sight. Almost no people. There was a security guard or two. We were sitting on chairs in the middle of the road. Then they stood up to leave. I asked if it's okay to just leave like that. I remember returning the chairs and apologizing to the guard afterwards.

Slept: around 4:30 AM
Wasn't able to set intention. Woke up around 8 am, 9 am, 11 am and 12 noon.

Dream: editing on my computer. Athena.

Sleep: 1:31 AM
Method: Intention "I will remember my dream"

My contacts dried up. I threw them out of my window. Travel. Dormitory.

Slept: 2:34 a.m.
Method:
- Intention: "I will remember my dream"
- Alarm 4, 6.5, 7 (should be 4.5, 6, 7.5, but I forgot), which makes it 0630, 0800, 0930.

Dream:

~0630:

Moki. Village. (unreadable scribbles)

0803:

Silay. People. Running. Everything is jumbled. Trees. Caroling.

I was in a classroom. We were watching a professor flipping a paper that shows examples and drawings. I think he was wearing glasses and looks Caucasian.

One picture he presented is the "future," he said. I was surprised to hear this. It was a dystopia. There are jumbled buildings, and there's a huge entity trapped in a web connected to buildings. It looks like a complicated symbol, struggling to escape.

Then he "moved" his consciousness to a huge robot, and "channeled" his energy to two smaller ones on top of a building.

We were hiding, but not sure from what. I seems it wasn't from the robot, but from other humans. It's dark. Night. We ran to a building. One of us (me?) checked with a network through a device to see if there are other people nearby. "It" said there are a few in some housings nearby. One of us wanted to check them out, to see if they are peaceful. The rest just wanted to hide.

We were inside the building. It was a concert. It looked like the La Salle Bacolod coliseum. Some are performing on stage. I was also supposed to perform on stage. An Asian-looking manager told me to say/wear/do something, and I told him don't worry. But when it was my turn, the music died, and I held on an imaginary microphone. I looked at the huge screen behind me, and it shows some Asian guy singing. Do I look like him, or was I just supposed to lip-sync?

I was near the beach, with some people. I walked away from the buildings and people, and went toward the beach. I sat down, and a few others joined me. One guy in particular told me I can stay with them. I thanked him. They left.

I just recalled my dream yesterday, or a part of it.

I was riding a taxi from a place after some seminar. We were traveling on a road, and to the left, I can see an expanse of water. Not the sea, as far as I can tell. And the sun is there, rising, so I presumed it was the east.

I arrived to the city's main area. It was night. The taxi turned a couple of corners. In the last one, I saw a huge statue head. It was familiar, but I forgot the look. It was in the east, beside the city hall, facing the plaza.

I asked the driver if there are vehicles passing by my dormitory (the image of my dormitory in Bacolod came to mind), but he said it's already late. I arrived at the marketplace/vehicle station, and hoped that there are still some. I walked a bit, and on the road, I saw a jeep with passengers. I had a "wider" view of the area. The jeep is alone on the road, facing south, and I was looking at them from the south west. It seems... dark, but not too dark that I can't see. It feels like a pre-dawn setting.

I was in Manila. I was with Rob, along with several people. Friends? Companions? It was like a club or bar, with a predominantly faded yellow color. I was flirting with a guy (didn't see his face until later), at first "accidentally" touching his hand (although I think he did it), and eventually holding hands. Then I heard Rob warn him about me being not able to stick to one person. He didn't say it behind my back, because in fact he asked me to verify what he said.

I recall a comfort room, and then traveling. I was in Cebu. I crossed a number of streets, and I remember having some companions, a least one guy and girl. The color was grayish, and early morning. Then I came to a street, and there's a huge bridge over us. I saw Leo T., and asked him for directions. I thought the vehicles traveling the street right before us lead to SM (a mall), but he said no, they returned to the "old" route, so they're in another place. Then I thought that means the vehicles before us pass by the dormitory I need to go. Then the companion I was with became Bhebs. (I just recalled my dream yesterday, or a part of it. I was riding a jeep from a place, near some water places, and then to a marketplace/bus station, and hoped that it would pass by the dorm. Waited. Rode a jeep. Will continue later.)

I was in a mall with Crix. I was looking for Gaisano (a mall). She talked to me about my flirty attitude. I then remembered the guy, and "remembered" his face, or rather the side of his face. He's not good-looking at all.

I was riding a vehicle going somewhere, with other companions. One talked about a cause in Maryland. I said it's too far.

I am facing an elevator, and I jumped inside. I am trying to escape something. I look at the numbers, and chose one. The number 10 lit up on the elevator. I think it's the top floor. I also "sensed" that there are some "floors" that lead to death, with some strange symbols on the list. I recall one was particular colored bloody red, outlined in black.

There are people in the elevator. I'm not sure if they were there when I entered, or if they entered along the floors. I vaguely remember stopping in one floor and deciding it's not the right place.

Finally, I reached the "right" place. The door opened, and I saw a line of people, facing right (if I look at them from inside the elevator), with a trail of people going to the left. They were not looking at the elevator, and none turned their heads when the door opened; they were looking directly ahead. They're wearing informal clothing.

I went out, along with a companion, and moved to the "right," the place where the line of people were looking. Then my companion (male) reminded me of my book. I saw I left it on the elevator floor. There were still some people inside. They were wearing formal clothing. I went in, picked it up, and left. The line of people are still there. Were they even planning to get inside the elevator?

I walked off, and saw the place is like a factory.

Mood: busy

NOTES: The keywords I wrote when I woke up: elevator, death, escape, left book inside elevator, turn right. I remember the elevator, book and turning right, but I'm not sure sure why death and escape were there, so I just tried to recreate it.

Lucid:

I was on my bed. I heard the lucid dreaming induction, and I realized I was in a dream. I "woke up" and saw the surroundings in a spiral. I can barely make sense of the view. I also forgot to take off my contacts, so I might have subconsciously included that fact in my lucid dream.

I tried to "follow" to spiral, as I felt my legs move or float towards the wall, and beyond the wall. Then I was standing in my room, but everything is still out of focus. I got dizzy, and then I was back on bed. I thought I woke up, but I immediately went into another dream.

Non-Lucid:

I was in a room with a LOT of people I "know," or at least in the dream. I don't know any of them in real life, yet I felt some sort of kinship with them. We were gathering for something. We're a music or band. I'm not sure if we were setting up the place or bringing it down.

After a while, a new set of people arrived. Another "band," but they're still part of the "group." One I distinctly remember has long, curly/wavy hair reaching past his shoulders. I think he wore red shirt. We rearranged the place, putting up some chairs. I checked the nearby room, but the chairs there are mostly broken down, or at least not good to support people.

Then everyone's gone. Probably elsewhere. But "I" was "under" or viewing the underside of houses. I think it's the same house, but I'm looking at the "underground" of each rooms. I, along with a companion (not sure who, or whether it was a guy or girl), looked at how some of them have dripping "water," and how the spot immediately below it is wet. Some are clean. It seems they "throw" those wet stuff into a "hole" on the floor, and it drips down to the ground.

Then some police arrived. They were looking for us. We had to hide. I saw a closet, and went into it with my companion. I hoped to remain invisible amidst the variety of stuff in that room/closet.

I was in an office, with lawyers. We talked about something. A case? Then something about a 10-year-old girl?

I was somewhere in Bacolod. I decided to ride a jeep. The public utility vehicles are using a different route, going through the "back" of the city. The place looks beautiful, with trees and green fields. I felt sad that I forgot to bring my camera. Then I remembered; I DO have my camera, but for some reason, I find it troublesome to get it out. So I didn't.

I arrived in a school.

Something about the road felt familiar; like I've been there in another dream.

I was looking for someone. I was in Bacolod, in a building where Quan is near Shopping and La Salle. It was a call center there. Second floor (there are only two stories of the building). A lot of people. I saw a familiar one.

Somehow, even against my protest, I became an agent. I was on a cellphone, talking to a client, asking about the quality of a product or service. I was able to answer confidently. I saw Calvin again, the familiar face.

I traveled somewhere with some people. A dormitory? I was asking about the accommodation. The landlady said something about floods, indicating a deep flood, and I told her that some of my companions are girls.

Walked again, in another dormitory with sis. A familiar dormitory, where a friend (or a number of friends) lived. We ate there. Then we escaped, although we know they won't mind we ate there. Went "home."

Mom complained about sis's water jug. That's when I realized I don't have mine. I might have left it outside of the dormitory.

I was with someone. Sis? We went to a mall. I ran to the second floor and checked what movies are showing. The tarps are on the corridor, and I remember one has the word "gay" on it. I looked down at sis on the ground floor, some distance away from the base of the stairs.

I was on the top floor. We have a class there. My classmates were there. There was a talking animal, but I forgot what it was. I also recall leaving, for some reason.
