1.) [Non-Lucid] I was on some sort of resort or something in the snow. I found out that there were hidden spots that the resort didn't want people to know about and they stopped people from going there by telling them that they couldn't make it because of a really fast river. I found out you could make it through the river, and I met a guy who did. There was an area where he used a wing suit after flying off of the river. The view here was spectacular. There was some building that was being destroyed and we watched from above. Multiple times. I also found places where there were undiscovered animals. The animals were always really big like giraffes, but we couldn't tell what they were otherwise because they were covered in masks with our faces as the pictures. I have memories of a Joker-like character waking up in the snow in the mountains. 2.) [Non-Lucid] Marisa came over late at night and we waited for Dave to show up. My parents weren't home yet. Dave finally shows up and we all go to my room. Dave is visibly impressed when he walks into my room. "So this is how you make a living?" He asks. Though this is a weird question, I still answer, "What? Are you kidding? I don't live!" We all chuckle. He looks at my bookshelf. "So this is the library?" I don't respond. We then went into the game room. He didn't notice the bookshelf with all of the math texts. I feel the garage door opening. They are startled. I tell them it's fine. They wait back in my room. Dave is looking through my shirts, throwing them out of the drawer and onto my bed behind him. Mom comes upstairs and tells me that they're going to bed. Dave and Marisa somehow made it into the garage. When I went into the garage to tell them my parents are in bed, Marisa flies out of a pile of stuff in the garage and yells, "We weren't doing anything!" She realizes it's just me and we all laugh. 3.) [Non-Lucid] Mom and Connor were gone with the dogs for some reason. Perhaps a dog show? I am waiting for the bus in the morning, and they pull up. It's light outside for some reason. We talk briefly, though I don't remember about what. The bus still hasn't come and I remember it was about 10:00. We then drive around the neighborhood in search of the bus. There is snow outside on the streets. We can't find the bus, and I remember that one car made hand gestures at us when they passed. Then mom said I need to find a ride home on Friday. I say I don't know of any ride. I suddenly spot Allie by the round about in our neighborhood and I ask if she can give me a ride. I see Catlin off in the distance. Allie agrees to give me a ride, and seems overwhelmingly happy to do so. 4.) [Non-Lucid] We were at school. It was very dark outside and inside. I'm looking up and down D hallway for something, but I don't know what. I hear marisa talking to maybe Andrea and others about the crazy stuff she's done. I walk back through the end of D into C hallway.
1. [Non-Lucid] I'm in a pretty large dormitory and there's this really pissed off guy that keeps walking down the corridor, seems hes aiming to fight the guy behind me. I run out to get help, I see two women on a bench with kids so I walk over and stumble a little, I ask for help, one of the woman followed me back to the dormitory. 2. [Non-Lucid] I go look for some crisps, I found a shelf of small and big packets of crisps, I grab a big bag of Monster Munch and walk over to a table where my friends are, I open the bag and...the tutor shouts at me because class is almost over, he said I should have gotten a small packet and now they will go to waste, I'm extremely embarrassed at this point as I eat the crisps slowly and quietly as to not draw anymore attention. Fragments: I find this small museum filled with nostalgic items, such as old gaming magazines and demo disks. I buy some lollipops of some sort.
1. I was inside of what seemed to be a science class in school. The teacher was an old man that was rather short and had glasses. He wore trousers and had gray hair. Below my feet I noticed that the floor was covered in a carpet. As I was sitting down in my seat I saw some people that I knew and I started talking to them. I think I was talking to Sydney and some other girls. Eventually a time came in the class where we all had to go to the back of the class. In the back of class the room looked alot more like a science class, it resembled the Lab part of the class. I saw that there were also computers at every desk in this back section. I went over to one of the computers and sat down, but I don't remember what I did on the computer. Suddenly a guy named Max from my school comes over to me and insults me. For some reason I reply to his insult by saying, "Dude I'm from Africa" and just brush everything off. Max insults me again, and this time I tell him, "If you think you are really that tough then go ahead and fight me right now." At this point I am standing up out of my chair, angry and heated. As expected, Max backed down and decided not to fight me. He told me to calm down and then walked away back to his chair. Suddenly the bell signifying the end of class rings and I leave class. As I walk out the door I turn and walk down a hallway and down a staircase. Once I get to the bottom of this staircase I walk to the cafeteria. Here I find my friends Patrick and Justin. As I sit down next to them at the lunch table we talk about how none of us knew that we had this lunch. I asked Patrick what lunch this was and he told me, "This is D Lunch because its 2:34 right now". Thats weird because school usually ends at 2:35 and D Lunch is actually at 12:34. My hands were dirty and sticky for some reason so I decided to get up and go wash my hands. As I did so Justin told me, "Cory you don't need to wash your hands, I didn't wash mine and they are even dirtier!". I passed and continued walking towards a sink to wash my hands. Oddly enough I found a stand alone sink at the very right corner of the cafeteria, and there was no restroom next to it. I went up to it, dispensed some pink soap, and started washing my hands. There was also a mirror in front of the sink which I looked in at one point. After I finish washing my hands I walk back to the table, sit down, and start eating my lunch, 2. I was outside of Patrick's house at nighttime standing out in the middle of the street. The only person with me was my dad. I remember giving something to my dad so he could fix it. After he fixed whatever it was I challenged my dad to a freestyle battle. He accepts and I start off, "Unh, yeah, Here it goes, its coming... its coming, unh there it is." And my rap ends there. As I started off a group of 3 black guys walk past me and my dad. I tell them, "Hey, I wasn't really feeling it so I know it sucked." They laugh and continue walking. I turn around and walk over to my friend Patrick's house and as I am doing so I walk past another driveway, and the 3 black guys are standing in the driveway. They stand near a car that has alot of bright lights and start bragging about it. Once I get in Patrick's driveway, Patrick and my friend Trey are already there and Patrick opens up his car and starts jamming out. My friend Trey stands next to the passenger seat and him and I both notice how clean the interior of the car is and brag about it(wow, what a great thing to brag about). I don't know why, but I was SO proud that Patrick's interior was spotless, and I continued to brag about it. Then, Patrick gets out of his car and loudly brags about how good of friends me, him, and Trey are and also how long we have been friends. 3. I was in a car with my dad, mom, and sister. I hadn't rode in this car before. It was a grayish/white and had an all gray interior, I was sitting in the back left seat. As we are driving, we come up to some traffic and eventually come to a complete stop. In front of us there is a middle aged man with black hair that is balding. For some reason he gets mad at a girl who is standing to the right of his car. From inside of his car he gets a pistol out and points it at the girl. My dad sees what is going on and yells at the guy, "Hey, calm down. There is no reason to kill her". The maniac guy with the gun then looks over at my dad and points the gun at him now. My dad has no reaction, its as though he doesn't even care. Then the maniac pulls the trigger and shoots my dad in the head, my dad dies. I stay still in the back seat so the maniac won't shoot me(wow, a great idea). Instead, the maniac shoots through my dad again and through the seat to hit me. One of his bullets hit me. I unbuckle my seatbelt and duck and get as low as I can. His next bullet only grazes my head. My mom and sister sit in the seats, frozen and terrified.
1. I went to Walmart and found an instant hair cutting machine. I went over to it and I got half of my head shaved. I asked my mom if she could cut it and she said no. Afterwards we went to a restaurant. 2. There was a zombie apocalypse and then I got on a bus where my inglish teacher was. He asked me if I knew any good zombie fighters, and I replied with I don't think so. 3. Most longest, but I won't include all of it. Some stranger was over ato our house. My dad was talking to her. I went upstairs to take a shower and then heard a loud crash. I got out and looked through a wall and saw my living room. I'm not shore how I didn't become lucid in this one.
So, in my dream, I was a little girl, like I was some years ago, with braided hairs. I was on a white horse and we were in a kind of park, like Disneyland, or something that looks like it. It was winter, maybe a few days before christmas. We went to buy some toys like dolls or little cars but, at a moment, there was something written on a sign but every single word was more like waves than like real letters. So, I told myself "I can't read that, I'm certainly dreaming" then I woke up :(
Black: Non-dream Blue: Non-lucid Red: Lucid Slept a bit better, had okay-ish dream recall but I let some details slip by lying in bed and not being diligent enough about writing them down sooner. I even had a decent stab at the SSILD cycles, but the consecutive run of bad sleeps over the past few nights probably didn't give me a good base mindset for lucidity. Dream Fragment Standing on the driveway to my parents house at night-time, reminds me of when I used to sneak home late. Dream 1 - Zombies at Uni For some reason there's a zombie Apocalypse, me and some others have kind of gathered together. We're near the northern exit of the university (I know there was more to this, but I forgot most of what happened prior to this point) and we jump into this massive armoured vehicle. There's zombies off somewhere, I don't recall seeing them much except on the sidelines/backgrounds of the dream. The armoured vehicle can't move or something, but luckily there's another car loaded in the back compartment of it, all hooked up and tied down. I run to the back of the armoured vehicle and kick the back door open, then jump back and flick a hook off of the car, the rest simultaneously come free letting the car roll back. We proceed to hop inside, and then I think I woke up. Dream 2 - Giant Cockroaches I seem to remember dropping something at the very start of the dream... It was dark with only a little amount of light which made shadow-outlines of things. Whatever I dropped didn't hit the ground, because a size-able cockroach with pincers clamped it, I notice the sprawling crawling mass of these covering the floor. Fast-forward to later on, I'm running, there are GIANT cockroaches now, comparable to the spiders in the 'Eight-Legged Freaks' movie. It's still dark and I'm running, I'm in an old building (19th century Victorian brickwork or something) and I dash to the side, into a closed off room. I hide on the floor, near a big wooden table. I know they can't get in here. *skitter* "what was that?" I look at a small cockroach scuttling across the floor near me, I realize that maybe the little ones can get in though... It feels like a few minutes pass, and I notice even more of them, they seem to amass into a swarm on the floor and I decide to rethink the idea of hiding, with the feeling that the larger ones are actually able to break into the room too now. I head to the exit on the other side of the room, and I think 'hmmm what if they've blocked off the other exit...?' but as I'm about to exit the room I wake up. Was pretty bored with these dreams, didn't feel scared or fearful of anything in them (they sound like they should have been nightmares in retrospect, but weren't), they weren't strongly emotional.
Hypnagogic imagery and phrases fascinate me. They are even less structured and substantial than dreams. Even when paying close attention, I find almost impossible to preserve them in memory unless I rouse myself to write them down immediately on my notepad. One recent example resembled a conversation between Fry and Leela from the cartoon Futurama (this was WLR as I had seen an episode earlier that day on TV). Fry, in response to something Leela has just said: "I'll get some more jellybeans, then." He sinks out of sight, as though vanishing into the ground. A moment later he reappears in a space that resembles a dark cavern, and cries out: "You! The stomach god!"
So i'm at the university, talking to some classmates next to a table, and they want me to do a speech for the dean. After i talk to her about what the students are going through she decides to leave in a hurry. Then i get pissed and start ranting for a while about stupid people. After that i go somewhere like a store of sorts, and i find myself looking at those 500 pieces puzzles. I notice they are all pictures of the same house in different angles, and they were priced $119,087
Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid Lucid #249: Long Shot I’m hanging out with Dreamer in a sparsely-decorated apartment. She’s wearing a dark jumper with the hood pulled up over her head. We’re joking around and coming up with silly games and dares. Dreamer comes up with a really really crazy one that gets us laughing. Warning: It is pretty gross! Spoiler for Very gross dare -- not for the squeamish!: I’m talking to Dreamer about how I’ve got some kind of pimple on the right side of my nose. (True IWL! ) Dreamer says hey, she’s got one too and that we should have a contest where each of us pops our pimple and sees who can shoot their pimple juice the farthest. We laugh and laugh about this and finally decide to do it. We worry about what happens if the other person’s aim is bad and we accidentally pimple-juice each other. To help with this, I find a huge sheet of plexiglass for each of us to hide behind while the other person goes. As I’m setting the plexiglass up, the idea of the dare is so unbelievably disgusting that... ... I become lucid. I feel sleepy and out if it, and I tell Dreamer that I’m really happy to have become lucid so soon after going to sleep, but that I feel really groggy. We both stand up and Dreamer is super tall, easily 7 feet. We talk for a bit, my brain moving slowly during the conversation. Her accent is entirely American during the conversation, which strikes me as one of those strange details that I figure will work itself out. I finally remember my intent to do the “play a musical instrument that doesn’t exist in waking life” task and ask Dreamer if she has an instrument for me. She says, “Well, I have this violin!” She produces a violin from out of nowhere and somehow plays a few notes with no bow. Now she plucks 3 notes pizzicato. I tell her that this is cool but that we need to have an instrument that doesn’t exist in waking life. I know that I should be able to flow into the task from here but I feel really slow-witted. I get a little confused what to do next, and Dreamer walks up to me (still enormously tall) and wraps me in a hug. Since I don’t know what to do anyway, I just stay still for a moment and enjoy this. After a bit, I get the sensation of falling asleep, and … … I emerge in a false awakening in the same room. Dreamer isn’t here, but I have a vision of her sitting on the edge of a table with a model train set on it. In this mental image she’s wearing the same trackies and dark jumper from the previous part of the dream, but now she seems to be her normal height. I wander around the apartment, eventually finding the table, but Dreamer isn’t there. The dream ends fairly quickly after that.
I was sitting with a group of men having a discussion. One of the men looked like an old acquaintance of mine who had recently passed away. The only difference was he had a full head of red hair, whereas before he was bald, he was medium build (instead of overweight), and now he was young. Despite all this, I still recognized him. I realized instantly I was dreaming. How else could I be meeting with him? I was Lucid. FYI: We really did not get along well during our experiences together in life, but I believed he was a good man, and he was liked by many people. He had a large funeral, but I did not attend, because like I said earlier, we really didn’t get along. While lucid, I went right up to him, and asked if it was him? He said, “Yes”, and then I told him I was sorry he had passed. I went to give him a ‘man hug’, but he raised his arms up, blocking mine. He was very strong, and his arms wouldn’t budge. He put his face to the side, looking away from me, and said, “I’m still upset.” I didn’t know what to do next, and the situation was a little awkward. The dream was fading fast, and I woke up.
The dreams happened the morning of 10-17-14 Dream 1 I was at a lake boating with my family. I was on my uncle's boat and my aunt brought another boat and they tide a rope between the two boats. People went tight rope walking across. Then my uncle took me tubing and he was going really fast. All the sudden, I went flying into the air, the tube went with me. I somehow wasn't scared and when I landed it didn't hurt or jolt me like I thought it would. The tube stopped next to land and I was next to a girl who's sister I was dating (in the dream). I was cheating with her on her sister and she said, "I can't believe you uncle fell for that trick." I realized then that I had unhooked the tube as my uncle was in a turn so I'd go flying. Dream 2 I am in the army and B, K, and L are there with me. We are going into battle and I am scared. I am about to go but B, K, and L go before me so I'm the last to go. I feel like a wimp because two girls went before me. When I got to the battlefield, it was already cleared out because the groups before us, who were upperclassmen, already took care of them. I was glad I was younger. I then figure out it was actually a practice course. There is a lake and a cabin on the other side and everyone is wading into the lake. Then we are all camping in the mountains and I find a bomb in my bag. I am very observant and I notice every little detail and others notice that about me so they want me to get the bomb turned off. I end up figuring out the bomb is just a fake to scare people. Dream 3 I am in English class and I'm not paying attention. I never have a clue what is going on and I'm not doing the class work we are supposed to be doing. M is next to me and I call a guy buttery or something as a joke. Everyone laughs and says that's really gay. I am worried because I have no clue what we are supposed to be doing in the class. Dream 4 I go into my mom's room and I say I'm going ot bed. I ask what time it is and I look at the clock. The time is in fractions so I just ask my mom. My mom said just to add them together and said the clock wasn't really working. I didn't want to, I just wanted to know the time so I looked at other clocks. A bunch of clocks said different times so I went to my room and looked on my Ipod. It said it was 5:00. I knew it had to be later than that and then I looked and it was a time for a different country. I finally thought this was weird and I did a nose-plug RC. I wasn't that surprised that I was dreaming. I went outside (it was now daytime) and my brother came and started throwing cardboard knives with tape on them at me. (in my last lucid DC's started attacking me too) I thought they were dangerous. I ran down my street. told myself my Dream Guide would be in a certain house because those people had moved and he ended up buying it. (IWL the people are moving) I ring the doorbell and step inside. There is a small Chinese guy and his wife is sitting on a stool to the right. His wife says something. I ask if he's my Dream Guide and he says yes. I don't know whether to ask him to teach me to fly or how to get LD's and I shake his hand. I want to ask him how to fly, but he takes me to his kitchen. I look back and my brother is outside the door, looking mad. D and P are sitting on some chairs in a circle. My brother is invited inside too and stares at me but doesn't attack. We are having a meeting, and my "Dream Guide" (not sure if he actually is because I lost lucidity because of him) says to do something, (speak maybe? I'm not sure) you have to make him laugh. I was mad because I just wanted to be taught how to fly. (I think I lost lucidity) The others were telling hilarious stories and I was worried because I suddenly couldn't think of anything funny. 10/18/14 I couldn't recall any dreams because I was woken up super early and even if I had remembered some dreams, it wouldn't of mattered because I wouldn't of had any time to write them down.
Non-Dream Dream Dream 1: I am running to my final exam up a hill through huge doors into the physics department. Then I run down some hills jumping like crazing yelling info about the exam to people behind me (cheating). I'm not doing well but I don't seem to care. So much more buy I dont remember - I think my dad was there too. Dream 2: I am in an airplane. Dream 3: I am driving to work for the big layoff meeting. Dream 4: My bowling alley has an incredible daycare facility.
Non Lucid-Blue Lucid-Green Semi Lucid-Purple I was in a school with a group of kids and an experiment was being done. I don't recall what it was but something went wrong and we were told to wait outside the class. Outside we saw more kids coming in and they were popular and kind of cool looking. I wanted to walk up to one of the guys caused I thougt his spiky hair was cool but some dream characters who were my friends kept telling me not to. But I couldn't hold it in so I tried walking up to him but I think I made him fall off balance and his friends moved him away from me. Than the scene changed and it was now a classroom. I sat down and the teacher who acted like a coach walked in. He gave us all a big pink purplelish gum candy that we were supposed to try. I tried a little but than water started to leak from the roof so I got up. Upset that I got up, the teacher yelled at me. I shouted back at him that it wasn't my fault because I felt water falling on me. He kept shouting though and told me to sit down. Thats when I told him how am I supposed to sit down when I don't have a seat and the class responded with "Ohhhhhhh!'. I didn't know if it was a good comeback but I still felt pretty good about it. Sadly the teacher was bigger than me and pushed me out of the room, and flew me above a wall on the roof. I had a feeling by the way he was moving he was going to try to rape me so I flew away and tried flying out a window. He came after me and pulled me back though. Somehow I got away and was running down the stairs for someone to save me in Japanese just for fun. But out of no where I ran into a few girls who said a evil guy was going to kill a close friend with a robot weapon. The close friend was sealed inside a red book bag and the evil guy cut him up a bit saying he was going to make scars on him. I ran to the bookbag, grabbed the bookbag and ran out of the room into the halls panicking. My close friend was now a bleeding mess inside a book bag and somehow I had to put him back together. Two girls grabbed me after that and took me to a room where we could fix my friend. But when we got there there was a huge screen of a girl kissing another girl. Than the girl that took me there started wishing lots of times for her crush to kiss her.I knew it was a dream completely than and was walking away but everything about the dream changed. I was staring at a wall with two African american ladies and one told me not to think so much about things or I'll stress myself out. Than I woke up.
I had a dream about me and my family getting together at my grandmother's house. It's something that we do quite often so it seemed completely normal, well at some point there was a knock at the door. This is not normal because my grandparents live on a ranch and don't get many visitors. Well i went to open the door and there was an elderly looking lady who was wearing a red hood. She very politely asked to come in and stated that she was passing through and needed to find her way to the nearest town. I told her to wait and went to get my dad who had lived in this area the longest, I told him what was happening and he walked to the door. He then called back to me and said no one was there. I went to go look and all the doors in the house leading outside shut. we couldn't open any of them. They weren't locked just impossible to open. The lady then walked out of my grandparents bedroom and said that she let herself in, because we were taking to long. She pulled her hood off and revealed that she had solid red hair and black eyes. I don't know why but I instantly recognized her as a witch. she then said that none of us were ever going to leave. In the dream my family and I could rome the house freely and weren't constantly watched by the witch but we still couldn't leave. My sister after a while found a way outside, and told us we could all leave. We decided that if we all left together the witch (who called herself Scarlet) would surely know and that if we slowly left she would still notice that there were less and less people. So I came up with the idea that I would stay back and distract her while they all left, and while she was busy looking for them I would sneak out as well. It worked for the most part. My family got out and were all free. But as soon as they all got out Scarlet knew what happened and was furious. She then started torturing me for what seemed like forever. But the torture soon ended and she was going to kill me. I remember feeling releaved that I was going to die because that meant no more torture. But when she killed me I didn't wake up. I kept dreaming. I knew I was dead but was watching the rest of the dream from in the house. I knew where my family was and that she was going after them. But I still couldn't leave the house. I was stuck there watching her hunt down my family. I eventually woke up, but am still freaked out about this dream. Mainly because I've died in dreams before and always immediately woke up when I died. But this dream kept going even after death. It's also the only dream that I can remember having a witch in it. If anyone can give me insight to why I kept dreaming after my death in the dream I would greatly appreciate it.
After a long dry spell finally I had lucid dream and I remembered the task. Last month I tried the fortune cookie but could not succeed. I watched a movie and was walking down the stairs and looking down I found I did not have shoes. I then realized that I am dreaming.. I went back into the movie theater and was forced to sit down by a female DC and watch the movie. I was seeing two version for the movie side by side in two different languages. I remembered the basic task and tried to conjure up a pumpkin on the empty seat beside me. No luck, tried one more time and still no luck. So I decided to leave the movie theater and try to find a pumpkin. I ended at a railway station and then I said I will find a pumpkin near the huge column. I found the pumpkin, now I need to find something to cut if open. I saw a food can and was able to remove the lid. Using the thin metallic lid, cut the pumpkin open. But nothing inside, just the pulp inside. Disappointed. Then I found another pumpkin, it was very small one. Wanted to open it, but lost lucidity.
