In my dream, I was a paramedic working a school shooting scene. This is really odd to me in waking life, as I have no medical training and have never worked in the medical field. I remember walking in under a sign with the school name on it (can't recall now what it was) and thinking to myself, "Lots of people are going to wonder what it must have been like to be here in the aftermath, and here I am, not enjoying it at all." Once inside, I was taken aback at the large number of policemen, firemen, and paramedics, all just standing around, and I thought to myself, "These jerks are only here for a show. Their jobs gave them the excuse to answer the call, and here they are." And then I remember hoping I wouldn't get too much attention or requests for interviews.
1. I was in a part of a neighborhood of where I used to live about ten years ago IWL, I’d only been there once or twice. I’m walking away from a house, and suddenly slow down to take in things around me. Things come more into focus. I look down beside the sidewalk and see some yellow(?) and purple tulips growing. 2. About a strange family. In one room, two people are having sex. The one on top kisses the other, who freezes. The one on top thinks it’s because they don’t like it, but it’s actually because they were surprised by it, because the top one apparently had a hangup about kissing? Something about shark teeth?? Someone is outside the door spying through some opening on the door. Something about a little boy. 3. I find some manga on the bottom of one of mom’s bookshelves and wonder what they’re doing there, since she doesn’t read them. Except that they’re longer, wider and thinner than manga. At least one of them was Sailor Moon, and there were four I think. I take them out and away, after scooping a few other bits up into my arms to leave. There was a yellow card and a white paper? Notes: Soo I wonder if my practicing awareness is why I slowed down in #1 and focused? :O The shark teeth in #2 could come from Rin in Free!.
September 20, 2013 Method: MILD & WBTB Total Sleep Time: Not enough! Woke up running out of the bed because I had over slept. I had the entire dream in my mind and by the time my feet hit the floor it had turned into a fragment . All I remember was my sister working as a nurse and I was her patient and she was trying to give me blood and I was refusing to take it. She was so adamant about the blood transfusion trying to encourage me that I will be alright if I take the blood, but I continued to refuse...I even remember her chasing me with the syringe full of blood.
me and hailey m and some other people were at this huge convention in the woods and there was a huge auditorium and a big screen with all these images and an audience. i was surprised to see hailey bc she was pregnant with triplets. we became friends in the dream. she was a welcoming cousin, just like i guess i always subconsciously wanted her to be (since she always is my friend in my dreams). i remember there was this fundraising bucket with money in it. i took over 10 dollars and didn't tell anyone. to get out of the woods, we had to walk bc cars weren't allowed. it sucked, there were prickly things everywhere and large animals. we ended up in some lady's boat house and stole a lot of food while she was looking. then the dream switches to "uc irvine". but it was a dream version, super unrealistic. VERY vivid (maybe bc i took dream enhancer vitamins last night). i was in this room conversing with a lot of people. matt was there and i was so happy for him bc it was his first day at school and he seemed like he was having a great time with lots of friends. i look over, and what do you know? hes banging this girl in public IN FRONT OF ME and he looks at me and looks sort of guilty but keeps going. i was so hurt that i ran away. but first i said some passionate speech to him and he was like sorry sorry. but it did't make me feel better. the rest of the dream was me wandering the irvine halls looking for matt. my logic was fucked bc i knew he didn't care about me bc of what he did, but i love him so much that i was kind of unaware of the girl he banged like half the time. such a sad dream LUCID: in the dream i kept staring at my hands and i knew it was a dream but it was so damn vivid it was ridiculous. i was really tripped out. but then my fingers were regular 5 digits, so i thought i wasn't in the dream anymore. that happened right before i was done figuring out what i wanted to happen in my lucid dream. unfortunately i was stuck, also, bc i have no plan of what i want to happen in my lucid dreams. gotta do that.
Dream 1(fragments): I was playing some platformer. Dream 2(fragments): I was playing some rts that was like mix of warcraft 2 and starcraft, at one point Dream 3(fragments): There was something about getting out of some dungeon and opening doors using keys and some special ability that manipulated keys and positions.
[Title inspired by the wonderful roguelike Cataclysm] First off, I remember some random bits early in my dream: I was trying to get some object in the middle of a lake. It turns out that there are no boats nearby for me to get to it, so I had to retrieve a boat from a boathouse that I own, I open up a Saints Row Third-esque map and went to get the boat, then got it to the lake somehow. Although I say lake, it's actually a pond in the middle of a city. I don't remember what I got. Then I remember having a bath in one of those small tall japanese bathtub. It actually felt good. Then for some reason I remembered driving a motorcycle across the city and avoiding missiles that fall from the sky. Then now I remember being in what seem to be a house-bunker and closing a door because I saw a zombie. There are 2 people outside who want in. I told them to kill the zombie and we'll talk. Ultimately they failed, but didn't die. The zombie was intelligent and was able to talk. I don't remember what it said but I do remember having to jump away as it tried to blow up the door with a rocket launcher. Luckily the door was fine. I opened the door and blew the zombie up with my own rocket launcher. But then some more nasties came and I locked the door. Later in the morning I got out and found really weird enemies, like giant rats, a normal-sized rat riding a giant disembodied head of what seems to be a walrus. After I killed them I found the two people from earlier. I apologized to them about last night. Then I woke up.
I had the strangest dream last night, it felt like it lasted for DAYS! It was a very, very, very long dream, we (me, my family and random people) were on the run because of - surprise, surprise - the zombie apocalypse. We kept going from one place to another, "stealing" abandoned buses on the street, invading abandoned houses (that were always so dark and dirty)... we also had a few problems with other groups, ended up having to shoot some people, then the zombies showed up and we were back to running. Crazy dream, really crazy. But definitely interesting, I can't recall having a dream that lasted for days ever before, so... fun!
I become fully lucid while doing my Apollo trick, and lose all visuals in the process - I have a sense of having a body, but there's no setting. (The Apollo trick is meant to get me out of nightmares, but I have no memory of any dream scene before this, except the thought that I 'lost' visuals.) I start floating close to the 'ground', although there's no ground, and a setting starts to form: the road outside my IRL home. Memory gap. Next thing I remember is a non-lucid dream in a different setting, involving accidentally upsetting my IRL sister (my recall for this was quite long and detailed). Woke up at 5:37 AM, less than an hour after getting to bed. Recall for the rest of the day was terrible. Vague fragments of dreams set in Being Human and Lost Boys, with a possible false awakening after the Being Human one - I don't remember 'waking', but I spent a dream scene trying to describe that previous dream. The only details I managed to remember: as Mitchell, needing a werewolf to briefly hold me down under the surface of a river, and the one I've got on hand doesn't live up to George in any way.
9/20/13 quick notes... recall absent all night. LD was only save here. I think a few FAs. No plan to try tonight..work night..but house alarm by C IRL. 6am SSILD. DILD knew but decided to do RC..went fuzzy then floating in void. Floating was very neat, slowly rotating like astronaut. Don't RC if already know? (If not about to jump out window or something.) But transition was fine. FA caught, Wife was L (T's) through roleplaying and very hot..agreed to quickie. Pulled off shorts and then see wifes white shorts she wears to bed and then I remove them, we both get undressed and she is sexy and I am very very excited. Yes..a longer LD before but thought I would remember easily... remember thinking this is continuing & wondering if I am speaking in my sleep. My room was different...smaller bed by window but bathroom was in same place. Only count one LD...too unclear if DEILD chains...

I am getting frisky with my girlfriend on my bed. Some one jumped in my room and turned the lights on. I’m standing, naked, on my bed as there is a crowd of family members at my door. I reach to pull the fan light switch, but can’t seem to pull the switch. I try to pull the covers over me, but she had already taken them. I hear a family member whisper, “ you should be ashamed”. I think, “well FU, I don’t care”, but I don’t say it…Some one gets the lights off… I am now in the living room… Someone is attacking us, but a few of us get away… My girlfriend and I are in a row boat, with the attackers. Something happens and the boat gets cut into several pieces. Our piece of the boat floats away from the attackers… We are paddling the boat to a huge truck that is in the water. We get to the truck and get onto its room. We are surrounded by water…I put my head down and pick it up. When I look up, I see that I am laying on the room of the truck and that there is no water around me. My family and friends are there and I get off the truck. I see a meteor flying down from the sky. I see it turn from a ball of flame into a large metal ball. They tell my to go look at it. I tell them no, because of the fact that the attackers might be there. They tell me, no, that was only a dream. I eventually am convinced that I WAS just dreaming. I talk about my dream… then I really wake up That wouldve been the best time to do a reality check. Next Time.
Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps. Dream 1(fragments): Was talking to SilentEternity on skype. Dream 2(fragments): There was some story where some anime person entered some place, encountered a dragon and was about to attack, but then two small dragons appeared and prevented the fight. Dream 3(fragments): I was playing Akashicverse and it was apparently stage 4, but it was different and there were many enemies that were structured part by part, Hellsinker-style. Dream 4(fragments): Was talking to SilentEternity on skype again. Then we were playing Doom and at one point i've entered some square-ish room with red wolfenstein 3D-esque walls and four pillars and i had to fight four Cyberdemons which also could fire BFG9000 projectiles of all things. I've managed to dodge them though. I wake up and try to DEILD but can't get back to sleep, though i get brief vivid 1 second long HH(or maybe it was FA) where i am in the bed looking at hands and they are scaly.
[COLOR="#800080"]It started with me waking up.I was in a different place(couch) than where I fell asleep on.My sister was on the other part of the couch.So I woke up a bit confused,How I got there?I looked at the picture on the wall and it was making all kind of weird faces and noises.I was scared so I screamed but then suddenly stopped.I was thinking:[/COLOR][COLOR="#008080"]Wait a second,Why is that picture on the wall making those weird faces?I must be dreaming.I do the hands RC and I don't notice anything wrong about them.I keep insisting on it because I knew it's not real life.Eventually noticed something wrong about them and became FULLY lucid.I looked around,And said to myself that I should jump out the window.But I didn't did that,I was too afraid to do it.Afraid because the dream was too freaking vivid and I confused it with real life even though that picture thingie won't happen in real 100%.I walk down the stairs and I'm in the front of my apartment complex.I tell myself that I should really try to spawn Kris.I imagine him being in the back of the apartment complex and I walk there.I saw some gates and there was this man.He wore a black shirt(Just like Kris) and some black pants.He had his hands in his pockets and looked at something.He turned to me and told me that We need to talk(He was being totally serious).It was totally not Kris,He had a grey hair color and looked like he was in his 30s.I look at him confused while he mumbles something I don't remember.Suddenly,Some other people that looks similar to this man walks to us and stare at us.They were wearing some bloody red shirts and black pants.[/COLOR] That's all I remember T.T(I'm pretty sure the LD was much more longer but I can't remember anything else.) REALLY vivid I say.
9/20/2013, 22:00-5:00 I was reading the book "Exploring the World of Lucid Dreams" a lot before bed. I also meditated a bit. Also, I drank some water before bed, and thought some mantras in bed before sleeping. All of this got me two dreams and a lucid! Dream 1: I was in school. I was sitting in some teacher's class, to the left side of the class room. I was noticing a girl to the right and one desk behind me. That's all I really remember. Wake Up: I woke up at 3:43, and stayed up until 3:46. Pissed and drank some water during that time. Lucid Dream: Regular Dream Lucid Dream I was in a dream about politics. I think there was something about Obama's Affordable Care Act in it. There also might have been something about someone's butt. I think these two absurdities, combined with what I did before sleep, caused me to become lucid. I remember feeling a small rush of energy this time, so I wasn't really that lucid, but lucid nonetheless. I fell out of bed, trying to go through the floor of my bedroom, but I just landed on the floor and started "lagging" in and out of the floor :/ . I then tried to crawl to my door, but the dream faded before I could get there. Dream 2: I was in this sort of hotel-children-summer-camp thing. I was one of the mentors. This kid, who looked exactly like L from this summer came over to me and said he had to pee. I brought him to the bathroom, and Lucas and I went in too, for some reason. L started peeing, but he then "couldn't control" it, and he started pissing EVERYWHERE! He pissed on the walls, he pissed on the door, he even pissed on ME! Then, while this was happening, a black kid came through the door (probably another kid from this summer) and saw what was happening. He just closed the door and ran, while the bathroom was getting pissed on by the damn Lucas doppelganger. The dream ended there.

An average non-lucid night…catch some dreams, miss some dreams…but brightened by two “firsts” I tried SSILD during my afternoon “nap” just to see what happened. I did the sight, sound, touch cycles and lay down. For the first time I got…not SP…but definite muscle tremors and bright flashes…like “technicolour migraine” That was it during the time I was prepared to lay there, but it’s a step forward. Event #2 was while going to sleep for the first time at night. Again, I’d done the sight, sound, touch cycles (I find them relaxing) but it wasn’t relaxing enough so I set my touch lamp to low setting and lay there musing…intending to turn it off when I was close to falling asleep. Suddenly, a small creature zipped across my line-of-sight then instantly vanished. It was so quick that I didn’t get much detail but my impression afterwards was that it seemed like a cartoon animal character. Whilst writing this down something has gelled. In my DJ, on 17/9 I whinged about wanting more dreams and I wrote “damn you Ed! (my brain) even a cartoon would do!” Once again, I’m struck by the ambiguity of dream events. Did this written comment bring something out at random (in this case, as a vivid hypnagogic image) or was my mind deliberately “playing tricks” with me? It startled me, because it wasn’t with the whistles and bells of a lay-down deliberate WILD or SSILD…it was something that appeared when I (thought) I was wide-awake. I said “WOW!” again (completely forgetting to do an RC) Because I’ve read up on things, it wasn’t frightening but it put paid to immediate sleep. Roll on the day when I think “oh yeah?” then climb into a dream. 2.20 AM A very basic kind of police station. There was a constable with me and I was up to no good I think. I tried the door and was surprised it was open.. I wanted to know if the room was ready for “handover” and he said “yes” I got the impression that another constable had died and I noticed a stack of notebooks still in the room. 7.20 .00 AM “We” were all on holiday somewhere (was it my real family???) Everything was untidy and during the night I sensed something moving around…it was a cute black puppy and it was joined by two other dogs that had appeared from an “upstairs flat” that Ed had suddenly inserted into this movie masterpiece (I could have sworn we were in a caravan originally) Ed…why dogs again?....we’re not getting one if that’s what you’re hoping. An old friend, who we haven’t seen for about 15 years turned up unexpectedly and I’m uncomfortable about the shambles and she’s also embarrassed. The wife sends me off for eggs and I check my money. (who wrote this Ed...Enid Blyton?) This morning, I mentioned to the wife that this friend had turned up in my dreams and, for the first time she responded with interest rather than politeness…because she had also dreamt about her! I watched her recount her dream and she seemed puzzled by the fact that these details were emerging…a sort of “where did that come from?” look (that’s dream recall my dear) On what mathematical scale should I place that co-incidence?
So I'm not really sure how the dream journals work (I'm new). It seems you just describe a lucid dream you've had? I can recount my lucid dream 2 nights ago, one of the most lucid I've had in weeks, and a ball of fun. I'll try to keep it as short as possible. I was basically flying over a city and I came upon the entrance of a hotel. Suddenly, a crowd of people rushed towards me and slowly, I began to realize they were all my family and friends. We all greeted eachother and they all seemed to look to me for answers as to where they were. So I simply said "Oh, you're in my dream " They all gasped, claimed it wasn't possible and asked for proof. So I fly into the air and they all look with amazement. Then I said to them "You guys can fly too." One by one, they each started floating into the air above the buidlings. We laughed and then all got into a synchroinized square of some sort, where I can see everyone at once. I told them we'd go on a treasure hunt, just as a cave appeared behind us. We all went in, talking, laughing, people all over the place. Time passed, all sorts of things happen, and then we all fly out. We're all suspended in the air over the city and I could feel the dream coming to an end, so I said to them "Ok guys, ready to wake up?" And they all yell "No!" Lol I laughed so hard. I told them "Sorry guys it's time to wake up" just as I created a giant tsunami wave in the distance. It was amazing. It came roaring closer and closer, and I remember everyone scrambling for safety, flying away and whatnot, as I just floated there smiling, thinking "This was a great dream," as the wave washed over me... Woke up still smiling. Until the next one...
