idiot with a rifle (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm 27 and I have high blood pressure. Realy high. It's not because I'm fat our out of shape, it's a result of bad genes. A long history of heart problems in the family. Among other things that is. If you didn't know one of the weird side effects of having really high blood pressure is that your short term memory starts to fail you. On the other side of the coin your long term memory can become crystal clear.

This is an odd thing but something I'm still dealing with. One of the main problems I have is that I remember my dreams, all of them. Every blurry little detail is permanently etched into my brain. It would be fine if all I ever had where happy little dreams about flying or something typical. But I never do, I always have what most would call nightmares. They seem to last hours and can be quiet chaotic at times. The dreams are quiet lucid, I'm aware its a dream but i go along with whats happening anyway and in some cases get sucked into the role. unlike most who become aware its a dream. Its very apparent to me right away. I don't get scared by these dreams. I used to have nightmares and be frightened but one summer i had a months worth of night terrors. Zombies being the main problem that bothered me. After a while I just stopped being scared like that part of me had finally died of a stroke.

the following dream Wasn't particularly scary but sets as a small example of how things move in my dreams. I'll start with it since it was the dream I had last time i was asleep.

i was standing in a wooded area. Maybe the edge of a golf course or a heavily wooded park outside of a small town. It had to be some time after noon. Standing to my right was a guy in a baseball cap wearing a wife beater shirt, jeans, and boots. He was really thin and reminded me of a typical redneck. In front of me were two guys both in t-shirts one in shorts the other in jeans. Both of them were on the heavy side. behind them was a red van of some sort. and I assume to the left of them was a white car. After thinking for a while now one of the two guys in front of me must of been a friend of mine by the name of Chucky. Since it was his car I recalled. We were there to meet with them and were just talking or hanging out.

Suddenly this loud nose came from behind me, a crash or a thud. I saw myself look over my own shoulder for some reason in a 3rd person view. Instead of seeing what made the noise I could only see my self looking puzzled. At the time i wasn't even paying much attention to how i was not looking directly behind me but more up then anything. the two guys in front of me made a quick dash to the left for there car while the guy next to me and I ran for the red van.

I got in the driver seat (something that is odd since i hate driving and never got my license). I put the van in reverse, moved back, and then drove forward down the pathway. I drove like mad. The trees flew past me in a blur. The guy in the passenger seat was saying something i could hear. I was too lost in trying to get out of there. And then a thud and it went black.

It only lasted a moment and then everything rewound like an old VHS tape. We hurriedly moved in reverse back to loud noise that sent us running. When it came back to normal time we were off again running for the vehicles. This time I threw the van in reverse and we both looked backwards as I drove that way the entire time. When we hit the road in town I spun us around and took off threw a quiet neighborhood.

I swerved into a drive way with the garage door open and pulled in. I got out of the car and more subtle crashes could be heard in the distance. i got out of the van and went around to the other side. Me and that guy slowly walked out from under the shade of the garage door. People had left there homes all of them gathering in the middle of the street looking up over the houses.

I saw myself in 3rd person again still unable to tell what every one was looking at. Even my dream self could see what was causing all the sound when i could not. Back in my body I noticed to my left a man had come out of his house holding a rifle by the barrel. As if he planned to use it until he saw what was making the noise. too stunned to hold the gun properly he just loosely held onto its muzzle. The guy i was with must of saw this too as he quickly ran over grabbed rifle away from him and walked back to where he was standing. As he did he was inspecting the gun before quickly raising it up to aim drastically.

I remember this shocked me and made me very mad. tho I'm not sure why exactly. I had this sense that what he was doing was extremely stupid and careless. Not because he could injure himself or some one else either.

It became very clear all at once. like slow motion i was staring at him as i was starting to yell under my breath at him. I slowly turned my head to the noise and I saw it. with my own eyes I saw it. bigger then the houses. Bigger then the trees. Bigger then a building. A giant creature covered in an exoskeleton like a crab walking on six pointed legs but upright like a human with long thin lobster like arms. it was so large and in the distance that i couldn't even make out the color of it. It just appeared as a gray blur like a shadow puppet on a wall. its heads just under the clouds as lighting struck around it.

That's when i realized what i was yelling at him. I said "you idiot!!! even if you mange to hit it from this distance, all you'll be doing is alerting of a free food source" I grabbed the barrel of the rifle and pointed to all the people standing around dazed and shocked at what they were seeing.

then I woke up...

I drew a sketch of it but Photoshop squashed it for some reason.

First I have to say this is one of the most vivid dreams ive ever had, but only a certain part of it. it is multiple layers.

I had this dream from a previous night of drinking some tea with passion flower wild lettuce and gingko bilbo. some potent stuff ill say!

So, I'm laying on my stomach on a bed, with my arms around Nada whom is facing away from me and sitting on the bed.
We are speaking, im unsure of what.
(the most vivid part)Then suddenly the pressure changes, everything goes eerily quiet.
The lighting in the room is completely different. everything is glowing and has this fluorescent atmosphere. I feel mildy like I can't move, there's this slight anxiety building up.
Then a very large dog, looks like a black and brown st Bernard poofs into existence above me to the left. it continuously looks like its fading in and out of existence. its very stoic doesn't seem to have awareness and is just floating there.

I ask nada if he sees this thing, no response. I am still holding what feels like him. I sit up stil holding him (i can move now) his torso comes undone from his legs, like a barbie dolls would. his legs are underneath me now his body parts are black, not really him.
I realize I've gone to another plane where he is not. I start calling out to him. I am hearing his voice every once ina while but I can deduct he can't hear me, I feel like I want to get back to him.
I start to float up I'm realizing more that this is a dreamlike world but not in fact realizing im dreaming because of the separation anxiety distracting me.

I want to leave this room explore more, suddenly the pressure changes im back on the bed. I call out to nada he is about to leave the room with his arms full of these colorful cups. he was going to help my mother with something.

he tells me that i just passed out, I start explaining my experience.
Then I wake up for real and I start to really tell nada of my experience ( weird doing that twice)

Would like to know anyones opinion on this, if they have ever experienced going to a light realm like that.

This is the nightmare portion of the dream, im unsure where this connects at to the rest but I just remember it,
I am in this dark place with nada, it has many rooms and corridors. I believe its some sort of futuristic asylum, there is one person that started chasing us like he wanted to kill us. I don't remember how we got rid of him.
There are many grotesque scenes taking place wherever there are people, I am scared I also have a strange sense of deja vu.
Thats it, I haven't had a violent dream like that in a long time but this one wasn't very vivid.

DILD

This dream wasnt recorded for a few days so the recall is minimal.

I am able to turn the table on some enemy from the non-lucid portion of the dream. He is driving a semi truck. I somehow grab him and try to think of a way to punish him. I realize it is storming so I grab him and fly up, hoping to get him struck by lightning. I cant stay in the air long and fall back down. I do this a few more times but I cant seem to get him struck.

I am in a place that reminds me of a desert but its pleasantly warm and there is some plant life about.

I'm with one girl but there are many people about, we get our picture taken.
We are all waiting on a ride back to somewhere.

Suddenly a large elephant comes up, rumbling along. I am extremely excited as soon as I see him. He is yellow and greenish hue. Very warm spirit I can feel.

He lowers for us all to climb atop him, Im in this line moving along then on him. at first he starts gliding along Im not sure how. Then when we get away from the streets and start trekking towards a more forestry area.
He lifts up and the motion you expect to have while riding a elephant takes places. I am ecstatic.

Now I'm seeing from a higher view in the sky, The elephant has this mante ray flowy skin that is rippling in his movement like scales, sorta looks like he is gliding but I can see his legs from underneath. He is going up this cliff bouncing a long. its jungle and mountainy like.

Every time he jumps to and from a spot the previous spots crumbles from where his feet were. Not completely disintegrating but falling to a lower plane.

I remember seeing a small giraffe like creature at some point as well, before I got on the elephant.

Fights & Fail Videos At The Hilltop Festival (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID


I'm at an outdoor festival, Bob Dylan is playing while a large crowd sits on a hill in the sun. One of my friends has a ticket, but for those of us that don't, we're limited to the edges of the hill, along the path.

Dylan's not really my thing, so I go up the hill path to look for any of my friends. The path comes to an opening at the top of hill surrounded by hedges where drinks are served, and I find a few old school friends, as well as Emma, my uni flatmate.

A few of us push each other jokingly, angering someone behind us. He starts pushing a bit too hard so we start to confront him. Fortunately, he explains he was only taking the piss, and we realise we'd done what we'd accused him of doing - overreacting.

A large, unsightly gentleman later grabs Emma, pulling her towards him in a strange attempt at flirting. I see Emma's discomfort and, without thinking, I head butt him in the forehead. [Fighting in my dreams, I know, what a surprise]

He hits the floor instantly, and doesn't regain consciousness for a few minutes. Both his friends and mine are impressed as well all wait for him to get up, and I'm admittedly surprised at my own strength. I stand vigilant in case he attacks when he gets up.

He eventually gets up shakily and goes to sit down, telling me he's more impressed than angry. I apologise, telling him it's not usually like me, and we shake hands


Fail videos start appearing all around us, though out of thin air rather than on screens. These transition into rugby fails, and then into school rugby fails.

I'm then immediately in the middle of a year 7 school rugby match as my 11-year-old self. Everyone but me is playing pretty badly [our team was pretty awful at that age], and I take pleasure in making some big hits.

I stand outside in a large cement area, one thing majorly stands out from the uniform man-made landscape, a white half toroid shaped structure with flowing edges and a glass smooth door in the center, I walk over to it and begin climbing the side. When I get to the top I see that thee structure didn't stop here but continues on with flowing abstract symmetry. I walk over the waves of what I can see are rooms because of various windows. I finally get to a large room with a glass roof, inside of it I see a hammock like bed with a solid curved base and a green mattress that has been curved and segmented to fit, this is held up by only a few incredibly thin cords, (here the dream skips) i now find my self watching a person in knight armor fending off a giant spider with a sword, he can't seem to affect it at all so I walk over and help him, I simple toch the spider on its back and it becomes uncountous. (at this pointy I hear a ceasing sound and instantly wake)

Well this is probably the stupidest reason I have yet to Lucid dream by.
So the dream started at the computers in my school library, we had a project to do, but I had no idea what it was about, so I tried to ask my friends who were there. They seemed to never give a definite answer. Eventually the person I told myself I would see in my dream came in. The dream shifts to a classroom and my teacher asks why I wasn’t at school for so long (it’s summer ) so I ask myself if I’m dreaming. When I reality check it somehow fails and I tell myself that I’ll have to tell Mom that I still have school when I wake up. Then I don’t realize that either and continue in the dream… (which after that point kind of faded)

Toothpaste

There was a black guy who was shown the germs on his teeth with an ultra-violet light the way they show in the commercials. He had been using "Ultra Crest" or "Ultra Sensidine" or something. He wasn't happy.

Now we are at someone's house. He looks in the mirror and holds the light up to his teeth because he is freaking out about his teeth. He kept saying something to himself as he shined the light on his upper teeth, then his lower teeth. I think he kept saying the name of his toothpaste.

As he alternated from his top teeth to his bottom teeth, I saw in the mirror that his top teeth were REALLY green and his bottom teeth were yellow.

He started scrambling for different toothpastes. He piled up toothpaste from three different tubes on his toothbrush. Then I started looking for my tube to brush my teeth.

Then there was a lady in the room. She said she once heard that if your teeth were really bad, you could take toothpaste or mayonnaise and snort it and get it to your teeth that way.

I thought that was really cool. I pictured it going to my stomach, being digested, and getting to my teeth through the blood stream.

I started brushing my teeth. I had an old style brush I used to have when I was a kid. The head was bent like a dentists mirror. It broke in my mouth so I had to brush very carefully to keep just a little pressure on my teeth.

I was in the centre of the city at night trying to cross the street. Behind me there was a jewelry store which was closing. I noticed that one man was following me so I entered into a passage and I lost him. When I was coming to end of the passage I saw some trucks loading money from a bar. There were several bars with that name in the city. Then I noticed that the money that was made in the jewelry store was split in two:
1) It was brought to those bars so they invested the money with actions. It was very risky but the profits were huge.
2) The money was taken to some other place which I don't remember right now. It wasn't risky at all and the profits weren't that huge. Over a week they could get what the bars got at one night.

I entered to the bar that was in front of me, to see what it was like. I saw my friends there in a leather sofa and they called me. I knew that the guards were extremely strict so I stayed at the door. I answered them from there some stuff and i said that I will come back tomorrow. I got out of there and I went to another bar and see if it was the same as that. It was slightly different. The design of them was:

1) Near the door they had some bank booths.
2) At the end they had the bar.

Then I don't know what I did but I remember that I came back to the bar where my friends were. So I was there drinking some beers, (by the way they let me pass through the guards) and I said that I wanted to drink a red lager. Then they introduced me everyone there, since everyone knows everyone in that bar and it must be that way in order to get in. I knew that from now on I was going to do some business with those guys and it reminded me Tony Montana (but of course with legal stuff).

i was in a room with my brother devon and jerod and devon kept messing with my computer so i said dude stop or im gonna punch you then i woke up

Saturday 21 July

Fragments of people talking on IRC in #DV about another member who they were joking about.

An actual dream began with a guy who is not my friend coming over to my house. He pretended to be y friend as we watched some tv in the lounge. After the tv show was finished, he left to shower and everything.While watching tv, my moms tenant was doing something in the kitchen. He was constantly standing three making something while we watched a game which was like SA versus Manchester in the soccer. After my friend left to shower, I changed the channel to something that I wouldn't like in waking life. There was something wrong with my tv service so I could only watch a selection of shows and all the good shows were gone. So I went to shower and left my friend to watch tv.

Things which I forgot to mention:

We spent most of the day outside with the dogs before coming inside. We went to some place which gave us free phone chargers and blankets. The dream took place in my dads house, not my moms. My dogs were also there as they were trying to catch the scent of some puppy.

Second dream:

I am not one hundred percent sure about what was happening during this dream but I think we were at an Irish brothers anniversary day. We were inside the school hall and the person with the mic said we should get a dance partner although I didn't hear what he said. When I saw everyone dancing I had to dance with my friend. But I was glad we didn't have to touch each other. When we went passed my other friend, he was standing there with a black eye and drops on his eye. He said the guy hit him in the face causing it to water (?).
So we went outside and all that really happened was that we were all fighting one another around these massive vehicles that I hadn't seen before. The next section is quite blurry so I cannot explain the massive shift. Next minute I was being chased by this mad guy who I had owned several times. At one stage he followed me up the stairs and I dodges his upper hook by crouching and then jabbing him in the stomach. He passed out and I ran away. I climbed up this massive pillar Like a spider. These girls I know (from like grade 9) watched me and were impressed. Te crazy guy ran last without noticing me. Then when I came down I went to the girls and flirted with them. The dream then shifted back to the start with an alter or theme. After experiencing this same section before, it was quite weird. The coach guy was throwing random hard balls at me an then I threw them back or something. Somehow there was sexual attraction between his assistant and me.

Holding Facility/Celebrities
Non-Lucid



The first thing I remember is being in a building, I am taken into this area, where I get the feeling people do tests on other people. I enter this booth kind of thing, I look in the mirror and realize I'm naked, after checking myself out for a bit. A women comes in, she begins striping so I assume she is being tested on as well. Next thing I know, I am in a holding facility. Where, I guess, they wait to see what will happen to there test subjects. I begin to need to go to the bathroom, so I search the area, it is now a huge house, I get a little nervous because of how big the house it. I walk up stairs and stairs, so many floors, I eventually find a bathroom. I open the door, close it and lock it, the lock is very strange, not your usual type of lock. I seem to have forgotten all about the bathroom, because after checking out the lock - I just leave the room. When I leave, I open the door to another room, Kaley Cuoco (who plays Penny on The Big Bang Theory) is sitting in a chair at the far end of the room.

She begins talking to me about something, which I cannot remember, no matter how hard I try, shame. I get the impression that the house we are in, is hers. I notice something moving in the corner of my eye, the cupboard door is opened a little bit and I can see a women in there. I squint a bit to see, and I see finally see it is LIGHTS (singer). She shoots me an impression when tells me not to tell Kaley. But she has already noticed the door and has walked over to it. She pulls LIGHTS out of the cupboard and starts shouting at her, I get the feeling she is a test subject. I walk over to her, and tell Kaley to back off, such a gentleman. I put my arm around LIGHTS and she turns into my body, with her arms around me. I can hear and feel that she is crying a little bit. After a bit, I get her to sit down on a couch, she explains that she has been tested on, and she has hidden in this house, in that cupboard for weeks. I've still got my arms around her, once Kaley leaves she turns to me and thanks me for sticking up for her, she then kisses me and afterwards goes back to laying her head on my chest. This point I had a false awakening which ended up involving the holding facility again, but nothing noteworthy to write down.

Bike Fail

I am riding my mountain bike in the woods. I come to a point were I want to take a canoe with my wife. I try to get set up. I notice how big the bike is and how little the canoe is. I set the bike aside and try to just get the canoe in the water there is some strange guy in the water and his canoe.

I get the canoe set and notice the guy built a fire right next to my bike. It melted the cables off and the bike felt hot. I have no breaks or gearing now. I am so pissed. I tell the guy what he did and how he should pay me some money. Hes says, "what you want a loan." I say, "Oh yeah imagine that. Someone being responsible for what they do."

I get the bike to our camp site and show my wife. Now the bike is worse. The nut holding the tube fork is gone. I say, "This is just dead weight now." I get the idea to lock it up at the visitor center nearby and get it when we leave.

I dreamed that I was at my secondary school. I was walking along, and then I saw my brother, and shouted his name but had no response, but then to further inspection it was not him. I walked along to avoid getting caught. Then I came to an encounter with this strange little monster. It threatened me and was female. It looked like a human chicken pygme shrew. Anyway, It wanted to battle, so I flew into the air. I could feel it. Lucidity. I was close to lucidity.

I dreamed that there was this video game similar to Little big planet. It was based off of Tomb Raider adventures , however. But with included magic. This boy opened a portal for me, and I entered it to reach destinations.

I dreamed that i was playing another video game where you select a character and have to fight another person.

I dreamed about reading a Catwoman comic.

well I'm sorry I haven't been on. I've been on vacation.
Right now I'm lying in bed trying to go back to sleep. I woke up cuz of my nightmare.
it was about these brothers who lured people to them nd then they'd torture nd kill them. It was awful. But I woke up nd I'm glad. Jus hope I don't fall back.asleep back to tht dream. Ha. Well I was looking online about disorders tht cause nightmares nd I saw on tht said restless leg syndrome. Well I think I may have tht. I move my leg constantly nd its mostly my ankle tht I move. I do it cuz I feel uncomfortable if I don't. I mean I don't quite understand how tht would even help produce nightmares.
