Dream Type: Non-Lucid, Memorable.
Dream Mood: Strange.
Dream Setting: My Mom's house and Some Plaza.
Dream Characters: Anthropomorphic Animals and My Mother.

I'm not sure what to think of this dream.

It started somewhere like in an open, outside plaza or something, where the clouds were a dark gray and the horizon in the distance was just desert; plain nothing. I was told by someone who reminded me of an online friend I know that I should pick an animal, and I turned to look behind me and there were some animals, much like humans though, sitting in a sauna of sorts. I didn't really get why, but there was a gorilla, a fox and a bird.

Once that one was over, I was at my mother's home, and she had told me that she made a sort of new bread creation. She gave me one, and it was a sort of bread that was so soft, it jiggled and moved in my hand. I looked at it, and it had many different things on it, like burnt parts and less-cooked parts, though as I looked at it more, it looked more and more like a human heart. I placed it somewhere and scolded my mom about it, though she seemed to just jokingly deny that it was actually a heart.

Writing my dream pretty late but will write all I remember. I remember it being a sort of zombie apocalypse and I was at my home with my family. I remember zombies being in our backyard and can't remember if they were non vicious or we were killing them I'm guessing with some sort of gun. At one point Dog the bounty hunter came to our back door and yelled for us to let him in. We didn't want to let him in because we weren't sure if we'd have enough resources to let more people in. But I think we eventually let him in. Later I remember being with him and a bunch or other random people in some sort of large warehouse or garage. At one point in the garage there was someone "bad" driving around and I jumped onto the hood of that car punching through the windshield. The driver then crashed the car and was dead inside. After this the dream got weird and I remember waking up in a bed in a room of that garage and asking everyone if that was a dream and people were saying it was real. For some reason I was convinced that smashing the car windshield was a dream even though I'm pretty sure the smashed car was still there.

Since I am still unable to recall my dreams, which I am now convinced is related to constant tiredness / headaches, I figured I'd do something else.
I remember there being a thread on DV about dream cartography and thought it would be a cool idea to try and remember the layout of Destiny and draw the schematics.

Destiny is a recurring story-arc in my non-lucid dreams: Click Me

I can recall most details surprisingly well, and it turned out quite alright.
I don't think I'd be able to do this for something like Haven though.

Anyways, here's the schematics:
- Fully pressurized / breathable sections are green
- Engineering components and unpressurized sections or sections without air recycling are red
- Fluid containers are blue
- FTL / Hyperdrive system is orange
- Deck-to-deck connections are pink
- Outer hull sections are grey


Habitation Deck: Link
Not shown are desks installed during ftl.
This is where the crew was most of the time.


Engineering Deck: Link
This is where I spent most of the time, either idling in the cockpit or doing maintenance on various components in the engineering section.


Payload Deck: Link
The lowering platform was never installed due to time pressure, and it wasn't clear what it should look like.
Ideally the entire payload bay ground should be able to be lowered.
The idea was to be able to lower big objects onto the ground after landing on other planets / moons, or deliver payloads into space.


Size compared to the NASA Space Shuttle: Link


Wingspan:
- Shuttle: 23.79m
- Destiny: 79.5m

Length:
- Shuttle: 37.24m
- Destiny: 64.5m

Gross Liftoff Weight:
- Shuttle: ~109t
- Destiny: ~470t (no payload)

I kinda feel like making a 3d model of destiny now, but I haven't modeled in quite some time and I'm not sure I'd be able to.

Has this ever happened to anyone? I remember early one morning as I was sleeping in bed (I think I was dreaming, I dunno), someone poked me in the lower back, waited a few seconds, and then poked me again. After the second poke, I turned around and nobody was there, then I got up. I was staying at my mom's place then and it was just me and her in the house that morning and she doesn't poke people, lol.

Also, when I was working at my previous job, it was just me in a room all to myself. I was standing up doing something when someone poked me in the lower back (the same spot) but there wasn't anyone around. It was a solid, hard poke, lol.

Normal Dream

Night 29

No LD's, I had rough morning.

I. I am at my grandfathers house with some of my family, we were cleaning out his garage and loading everything onto a truck to take somewhere. I remember when the truck was full and left, I was walking around his yard just looking at everything, then the dream ended.

II. I was at the playground at one of my old schools, there was this large water slide that was shut down. I was with my friends and my friend put water onto it and started using it, I was telling him to get off as it was shut down because it was dangerous and unstable. All of a sudden, all the other kids started using it, and it was disastrous. Kids started falling off of it to the ground, I remember watching them hit the ground so hard. I actually want under them and tried to catch some of them before they hit the ground. The dream ends right around here.

III.I was with a friend and we were riding this really strange ride, you hang on upside down through a forest while watching the wildlife. As we were riding it it took us into my basement, and that is when it stopped and we jumped off trying to get it back going. I remember we got it back working and it took us into my garage next, and that is all I remember.

So, I'm in a house not my own, or any house I've ever been in before, hanging out with people I've never met. Just watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Did a reality check 'cause someone told me to, and got lucid. However, I couldn't do anything. Like, I knew I was dreaming, but I was content to just watch MLP. odd?

These two dreams actually didn't happen the same night, the lucid happened the night before last, while the vampire one happened last night. Decided to record both.
I don't remember how I went lucid, but somehow, I was. I was standing in the basement of my grandma's house, sort of shocked I was actually lucid. Then a swell of happiness swept over me, and I immediately rushed down the hallway that led to the stairs. An obstacle was in my way, so I performed a very stylish vault over it. Before I went upstairs, I briefly dwelled on the idea of going back and summoning the girl I like so I could talk to her, but I decided I probably wouldn't be able to, and went upstairs instead. That's all I remember. I do remember losing my lucidity after I went upstairs.
My parents and I were at a mall. Seems like I have a lot of malls in my dreams? Hmm. We were trying to shop in peace, but some scary, pale looking man, dressed in a gothic looking suit, was chasing us around the mall. Seeing him really gave me a feeling of dread, and I decided that he's a vampire, since he resembled one. We ducked into a back area and tried to evade him. For some reason, I decided to leave my parents and took off running in the opposite direction of the vampire, making my way to the mall's exit. I stayed outside, panting, and hid behind a bush. I peeked out and saw the vampire leave the mall, looking around for me. He decided to give up the chase, and went to what was supposedly his car. I sighed a sigh of relief.
That lucid was pretty interesting in the fact that I was able to pull off an athletic-like vault over that obstacle. I'm not that athletic in real life, so it was really cool experiencing that. Especially considering all of my lucids so far have been like 10 seconds with me just being excited and not doing anything. So far, I've flown, thrown something heavy, and performed a parkour-esque vault. Neat.
That vampire dude from the dream was really creepy though. I could draw him right now on a piece of paper because his look and face were both really memorable, still in my memory right now. I woke up from that dream with my heart pounding.

I had several dreams last night but I only remember this one. I awoke inside of car that was parked in front of a public restroom building. I cranked it up and tried to pull out, but the car wouldn't budge. I got out and looked at the rear tires and both of them had a contraption on them which prrevented them from moving.

Then this police officer shows up and starts talking about how I was parked there for too long and I wouldn't wake up. Then I decided to go take a piss and he went into the restroom with me. The inside was very spacious. I immediately noticed a lot of blood on the floor. It looked as though there was a fight or gunfight but there weren't any bodies.

This cop walks over to the blood and starts investigating it and such. He's acting all weird and suspicious and coming up with all kinds of crazy theories on what happened. Some guys walked in behind me and we were watching this guy make a fool of himself. It was obvious he had something to do with it.

Shitty recall again the last few nights - I swear it gets better then gets worse, never steady. I tried drinking about a pint of apple juice (despite my dislike for it) not only to wake me up after an REM cycle, but also to see if it gave me a more vivid dream. To my recollection, it did not, but here's what I remembered:

---

6/4/12

I'm talking to a girl I've met once or twice in her room at uni, proposing we 'get down to it', so to speak. She says not now, but we both agree it will happen eventually by the end of term [sweet].

Later on, I'm still talking to her, but with someone else. She tells me about her boyfriend [where did he come from?!] and how she has to get up at 4am the following morning for a job interview. In an unrelated and uninteresting end to my dream, I take a few things out of a washing machine, noticing they're already pretty much dry.

---

I'm at a funeral (or just outside one) in a park I used to have rugby training in [which I recently revisited for a memorial match for a friend's late dad] and I'm play-fighting with a friend. Later, a woman roughly 300 metres away, on the other side of the ceremony, gives my mum a horrendously evil stare. I must have had eagle vision to see it.

Friday 4/6/12 Bed 12:30
DR 2:10 - enchanted timers - bad feeling
WBTB 4:14 - 4:45
DR 5:55
I'm in a kitchen RD10, looking out the window. On a clear blue skies I see white candle with big white flame. A few drops of solidified wax are on the side. I'm excided and yell at mom and dad. I tell them I see beautiful white light and I like white light. As I'm looking at it, it's coming closer, until I see a face next to it. It's a man, about 50years of age, greyish wavy hair and big, mischievous smile. This whole picture looks like a post on DV, with the name and avatar on the left side. His avatar looks just like the sitting meditating man I have in my signature with same colors and all. I see there is something written there and I strain to read his name. It's A SPIRIT CRIST. I'm surprised and a little bit freaked out. Then he blows me a kiss.

I am at my house near the pool. Some dudes are at the pool. I do the nose-pinch test. I realize I'm dreaming. I decide that I want to fly. I imagine the clouds are sucking me up so I can fly. I fly for about a mile. I fall on my face and decide to walk. I pass my grandmas house. She is sitting inside her garage. I see her and try to fly for her. I get it evernow and then for a second or 2. I keep falling. I get up and keep walking. Her house is a big white one on top of a hill. There is a tree on the grass. Her road is right next to this girl Carly's house.

A Moment of Lucidity

I was walking along the beach and became lucid. I was hovering along looking at the sand. I could see the flecks of dark and light. I focused on them, but that was a bad reality check. I tried to do a reality check, but I was already waking up. FUCK!


A Woman Quits on Her Birthday

A lady was outside her office which was right at the edge of the water. She was on a bicycle riding on a tiny bit of space where you could walk.

It was a pretty little spot with jagged rocks towards the back of my view, and flowers towards the front. The lady was riding around thinking of how she was quitting on her birthday.

Someone realized that it was her birthday and felt terrible that nobody even remembered.

Can't Get Her

I wanted this girl named Jackie so-o bad. I don't know a Jackie in waking life. I was in tears because she liked me, but just not like that. I felt like I was so close to being with her I couldn't stand it.

Her mother needed help with 2 clocks that needed winding. I got a special tool that fit around each of two knobs for one clock. I wound them both up by turning them like a socket.

I went to the other clock. This knob had a slightly different shape, but the tool fit around it as well just right. I turned this one knob until it was tight and that clock was wound.

I went back to Jackie and tried to hold her. I just couldn't get close enough to her because she wasn't interested. I left the house crying.

She came out and followed me. I was going to have to go home some 20 miles or so on foot or by bike.

Tennis, No Graduaton Robes, Money Issue?, Laundry Issue (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Dream 1: Tennis

I was going to some random tennis area, and unfortunately, the group of people I wanted to play with were busy having their own separate match, singles or even doubles.

This means my only choice would be to hang out with the other people that aren't so good. I decided to leave.

Dream 2: No Graduation Robes

This dream was hilarious, I love how I knew I said I'm in college, so getting graduation robes again in High School is pointless.

In the dream, it seems it's almost close to 8AM, well 20 minutes from it when I looked at the clock. It seems my father is in my apartment with me, even my mother, which is odd, but not really paying attention, I tell them I'm going to go ahead and head to school.

I get my bicycle and all that, and after a few seconds of walking outside with the bicycle, I find myself teleported to some random school. The whole environment was weird, it was as if it rained already.

I believe I tried to get into the school, but the environment was changing, and eventually, I asked some little kid to move some kind of Jeep vehicle to me to a safe place. Then I realized I can't drive legally with this vehicle.

Then I asked the kid to drag the vehicle with me to the school again, and I still was aware that my time was ticking to get to this school for graduation robes.

I believe the kid was wearing a white dress shirt and dark shorts, along with black socks and regular brown shoes, the ones without shoelaces to tie.

The weather was sporadic too at times, but again, it's probably because of the white noise I had playing in the background. It was raining for a while, and I found it difficult to walk for a little while.

Suddenly, I see myself at the random school again, and then I realize I could've used my bicycle that was 10 feet away from me. Instead, I think I used a chariot instead, which was kind of funny at first, but at least it was better than walking back home.

I was commanding a brown horse for a while, and I bumped into "chariot" traffic lol. There were like two in my way, but they weren't even riding horses on a chariot, just riding a chariot base.

How did I not pay attention to that? LOL.

Then the dream shifts to where I'm not on the chariot commanding a horse. I start walking for a while, then I see my mother and father outside.

Oh crap moment.

They didn't see me though, I try to hide somewhere, but it seemed like a horrible spot to go to, but it works. I believe they are trying to call me, probably to see how I'm doing over at the school.

I managed to go to the other side, and then come in innocently towards them.

I'm amazed on how I lied so easily and didn't care.

My father is holding a Blackberry phone, and puts it back in his pocket when he sees me. I lie and tell him about why I was so late. I honestly went with this lie throughout most of the dream....(now that I'm awake, I realized that I wasn't even calculated with a simple lie because I forgot about the dream plot in this dream in the first place...)

He's sitting down now, and I think my mother is still there, surprisingly. After we talk for a few seconds about why I was late coming back home, my mother asked me what were the colors of the graduation robe.

I lied to her and said,

"Green and yellow."

She responds back on why there would be yellow with green graduation robes.

"It was different shades of green." I declared to her.

After a few seconds of creating that lie, my father suddenly pops a question that I didn't think he would remember in this dream.

"Where are the graduation robes?"

I was in the "uh-oh" moment, trying to formulate another lie, but since I thought I was really talking to my father, I decided to tell him the truth.

"I didn't go to the school," I said.

He responds, "What?"

"Tennis, I didn't need to go to Tennis...." (LOL, what a good ol' lie you're giving Link.....but I believe this dream was a continuation of the previous dream).

It takes him a while to process what I just said. The look on his face, it was simply adorable, this man was going to go from normal to pissed off in a few seconds. (I say adorable because he should know his efforts are going to be in vain if he tries to be pissed).

I let him have his luxury of finally realizing I was lying to him the whole time.

He looks at me, slanted his face, trying to look mad at me, but I knew he couldn't have killed me for lying. He tries to suppress his anger towards me, having moments where he was trying to say something, but held it back.

Then he finally broke, and got up to use the bathroom or something lol.

I sit down, and I actually feel worried on what he's going to say, and my mother is still here. I tell her that I'm already in college, and why would my father be pissed that I didn't get the graduation robes....

Then he comes back, and he gets a call from someone. Apparently, he changes him last name to where it ends with "Russian."

LOL WHAT??!!?

Anyway, he just talks to the person like normal, like he forgot the whole lie.

Dream 3: Money Issue?

My father is in my apartment again, and he's cooking inside the kitchen. (I really hate how I'm not doing RCs from this, he never did this at my apartment...)

When I'm headed for my bedroom, he tells me,

"Don't think I don't know what you're doing, we still have to talk about this money issue..."

Wait....what money issue? Sigh....

Dream 4: Laundry Issue

I believe I'm riding my bicycle, headed for the laundry I normally go to that's around the area of my apartment. It's daytime, and my father is calling me saying that I can't use the laundry over there because I have spent too much on it.

I hang up the phone, and I was going to head for my apartment, but I decided I should steer right instead of left, and I saw that a car from the left was going to go through.

I forgot they had the right away, but they let me shift to the right side of the road. I remember the car looked like a Gray Mercedes Benz CLK-GTR.

I continue to ride up a little bit, and then I find an area that looks like a laundromat area. It looks like it's brand new, or at least way better than how the other one I normally go to looked. It seems that I'm just scanning the area of this laundromat, without me having any laundry.

I go inside, and it's pretty busy in here, but they have a bunch of dryers and washers here that I'm wondering why people aren't using those instead of making small lines to go in somewhere.

I turn my back to the right, and I see a bunch of females putting their clothes in the dryer. I remembered one female wearing a dark gray shirt with some white letters to it.

I turn back, and then I get my Blackberry to tell my father saying I found a new laundromat that looks like it's going to be better.

But it seems that the call isn't picking up, so I get annoyed and hang up.

I've gotten back into the habit of writing my dreams down as soon as I wake up, and my recall has improved... Yay.

Okay. I was standing at the edge of a field surrounded by a forest. There was a girl I've never seen before several feet to my right using a shovel to dig small holes all around the perimeter of the field. She had long, wavy, dark brown hair, and... Maybe freckles? Maybe. Regardless, I walked over to her and asked if I could help. She said sure, and handed me a shovel. (Never found out why she was digging those holes.) As we worked, she told my she was from DV.

"Oh, really? That's cool," I said. Never even crossed my mind to RC. After a minute or so, I accidentally flung some dirt in her direction. She seemed irritated, but didn't say anything. Then I did it again.

"Watch what you're doing, stupid! Jeez!" She threw her shovel down and brushed off her clothes. I just ran away, figuring that I would only get in the way even more if I stuck around. "Hey... Hey, wait!" the girl called.

I was running along the edge of the field. To my right, along the trees, big photographs floated every few feet. They were black and white, with splashes of color. I passed right next to one on my way into the forest. For some reason, I ran my hand along its surface. It rippled like water, and the color came off on my hand. I wiped it on my hair and ducked under some branches to hide behind a cluster of trees. The girl stopped by the photograph I had touched and looked around.

The color suddenly started draining from everything around me I knew the color in my hair was standing out. The girl spotted me and started walking in my direction, but I took off again. Then, just as quickly as the color had faded, it rushed back. The sky turned a ridiculously bright shade of blue, the little plants growing in the field became a very deep green, even the black soil intensified in color. Photos were floating all around in full color, and I started to run in slow motion. Fluffy white clouds drifted down to my level. Random objects appeared in the air--teacups and picture frames and letters (letters like ABC), all sorts of things. I jumped, and went up at least ten feet. For a few seconds I hovered there, surrouned by all the stuff, and then I began to fall back down. I landed in a sitting position, a little dazed. Everything was really surreal, and, well, dreamlike.

"Hey," the girl panted, catching up to me. "I'm sorry I yelled at you."

I just looked at her. Then I looked at myself and saw that I was wearing a flowery dress. I said something about wanting to hug the sky.

Then we were in a room. I don't know how to describe it any better than that--we were in the field, then we were in a room. There was also a guy with us. He was tall, with short brown hair. He and the girl (she told my her name at some point, but I forget what is was. Seems like it started with an A, or had an A in it) told my to sit down and watch, and they would show me some stuff. Suddenly they were wearing beautiful costumes--white, with swirling green vines and leaves. They danced, ballet-style. After that was over, their clothes changed again. This time, the girl was wearing a flowy red and black dress, and the guy was wearing a loose red shirt and black pants. The dance they did then was more charged than the previous one--it almost had a dangerous kind of edge. They finished that dance and then a random boy came in and tried to play a piano, but he was pretty bad.

I woke up normally in the same place I slept, but when I tried to move I realized that I was fully paralized, then I thought ''Damnit ! Sleep paralysis'', I tried hard to move until at some point I got it, but it was like my body was numb or weighing heavily. I got out of bed but when I got it I fell to the floor and started crawling, then I stop to think how this couldn't be real and I did a RC, I pinched my nose and I could breathe and then I was lucid, but everything was so real, I remember my breath as it was real.
First I was very excited because it was my first LD, but then I remembered that I could not get too excited because if I got the dream would start to fade. I left the house and went to the balcony and there I found my uncle, I remembered a technique to summon people and asked to my uncle where '' the person that I was skiing with'' was, I just wanted to see what my mind arranged, he led me to a door, but when I opened the door a found the girl from the The Ring and she started chasing me while my uncle watch, but she was very slow so I didnt had to rush. In the halfway I just for curiosity closed my eyes, I saw some computer lines like Tron and the dream started to fade then I opened with fear of lost my dream.
I entered the house again and in the kitchen I found all my family and I had to close my eyes for some reason and I lost the dream.
