Strategy Game (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Fell in bed at around 3:00. I tried to WILD, but (as usually) got bored and rolled over to sleep.
I saw i was playing a strategy game. Something like Red alert + Age of Empires + Empire Earth. There was a panel on the right that looked like the panel of red alert. Although only the first category was correct (buildings). The other three were pretty like "whatever works". I remember starting and building a wall around the main building and placing some power plants in a non-strategic way. I messed up the wall too. Whatever. I remember i built a dock and then i could build both Soviet submarines AND those Allied ships with one plane on them. I got attacked by other submarines but i beat them easily with two ships (not gonna happen in real game :p). I also remember building mining trucks (the ones that teleport to the mining facility) and there were some mining robots too, which i don't really remember having seen anywhere. They may looked like some robots from Empire Earth but i don't know. Anyway. I got 2-3 of them mining and 7 of them patroling... Yes, they could also fire... (???) Now the surprising part. I saw some troops comming to attack so i grabed my... archers (LOL) really quick. There were really many archers which i don't really remember having trained... I think i sent some tanks too, but i can't remember clearly. The point is i won the battle. :p When that attack occured i also went to the archery range and selected the button to level them up. The panel was on the bottom (like age of empires) and the "level-up" icon showed a female villager from age of empires. I remember that seemed really weird at that time but i was in a hurry to get them leveled-up so didn't bother a lot. I thought it was some glitch... I also remember seeing some really strange and huge building in the game, which had a cap. It looked like i could twist it to open it and so i did with my hand... But it was still in-game, like... on a screen... although i didn't have a picture of me in front of a pc... I can't explain this. :p Anyway. That was it.
I 'm gonna try WBTB tonight. Posting any results tomorrow...

I had this odd experience the other night. I was super tired from partying all week end in New York for a concert. When I went to bed that night that I got back, it was like a normal vivid dream but I felt like I wasnt sleeping at all like I was up awake all night and couldnt get to sleep. It's odd because I remember the dream, but it was almost like I was awake during it. It gets me thinking that maybe we can dream while awake ???? I must practice this technique. ;P

I can only remember fragments from last night but I can remember a few parts that were vivid.
My friends and I were at some amusement park and were on a ride that you are elevated upwards in a cage and then dropped until you slow down at the end. However one my buddies was riding on the outside of the cage for some reason. We went on the ride again after he survived however we were with our parents this time as well. He decided to ride the outside but lost his grip and was killed on the way down it was bizarre and terrible at the same time.
After this dream I proceeded to have a false awakening at my home 200 kilometers away (im in Uni right now staying there) which I can barely remember and I awoke thinking that 'it was just a dream'. I then started speaking to my family about the dream I just had right after a false awakening I can't remember their replies and that was all I can recall.

September 21st 2010

Quick note: Last nights recall was also pretty bad. I lost sleep again, so I feel pretty rubbish today. Hopefully this will cause me to sleep tonight

Awake Non-Lucid

We're on a school trip, at a theme park. I'm with a bunch of friends, talking about bands and music. The rollercoaster nearly encircles us. I randomly give Gary a pen because I forgot to give it him back.

My music teacher comes over and begins to ask questions about the band I'm in.

"Well it's a rock band but people find the stuff a little crazy. I don't care though because it's what I want to do."

Two of my friends who are actually in bands stare at me awkwardly and I realise I'm not actually in one. I mutter excuses and turn away, attempting to laugh it off.

[Dream skip - A few minutes] We're in a gravel car park, waiting for the bus to come. We all stop in a big group to wait. I notice a small, slightly over-weight man dressed in uniform. He grabs two suitcases and lays one each at two american girls feet. They're about to say thank you when he kneels down and starts to line them up perfectly. "Too far." One of them says and then they turn away. Hmm... How strange.

Our bus pulls up and it takes us to the classroom. It's on a hill. There's a roof with flourescent lights, but no walls. I take my seat, but C and R come up. C pulls out two yellow books, says happy birthday, and gives us one each. Mines is a novel I've read before. R's is called "Lucid Dreaming and the Quad." With a cartoon picture on the front of someone sleeping. She seems rather disinterested though.

A biology teacher comes up after he sees what she has. He tells us he LDs sometimes and goes on to tell us what he does but for some reason I can't make out what he's saying.

[Dream skip - During class] My english teacher asks where my essay is. Shit! Hadn't I asked to copy notes off someone?

"I'm dressed in leggings for Christ's sake! What more do you want!?" I shout. But before that I didn't know I was wearing them. I look down and see brown and black leggings, with straps and flaps over them. I look like I just came out of Final Fantasy. She ignores me and starts writing on the blackboard behind her. I moan and call her names in my head.

[Dream skip - After school] I'm in the Co-op staring and examining different types of bottled water. A middle-aged man comes in with a large bag of bananas, and fills a tray with them. He tells me he hates it when the store runs out. Why? That means people like them.

I grab a bottle, turn around, and notice garlic cloves all over the floor. I try not to step on any as I head out the door.

Ugh, pretty boring for my standards. I have another dream to type out, but I need to do it later because right now I'm going out for dinner

Lots of random details

-I'm on break for rehearsal, so I walk around the campus. For some reason, the campus is more like a mall. I, for some reason, think there's a red light, so I stop walking and wait for green. My high school history teacher comes out of a nearby shop with her husband and child and asks why I'm not moving. I realize there's no red light, because nobody's driving any cars, and I keep walking.

-Different part of the campus. My sister's here. She leaves to go shopping on the second floor.

-I'm in bed. A disembodied voice tells me he doesn't think it works correctly, but it can take me to any place I want. A cellphone appears in my hand. I realize I'm dreaming. A picture of a city (one of my old computer wallpapers) appears on the phone's screen and I focus on it. It starts to blur and stretch, I feel myself being pulled out of my body. I'm almost gone, and suddenly I'm back in bed, frustrated. The TV is on. I try again, but the TV is too distracting now.

I have to fight to get out of bed and I feel sluggish. I turn off the TV and try again, but the cellphone's gone and I can't get it back. I realize this is all a dream. I know I'm dreaming and I can control my own movements, but I can't do anything with my surroundings. I keep trying then suddenly-

I wake up for real. The TV is still on.

I know I was dreaming last night, and I remember faintly being near a city-type place, but nothing other than that.

But, my naps are starting to feel like I'm entering deeper stages of sleep, if not REM. And I am getting more and more hypnogogic imagery, as well as some short blips of dream scenes starting to appear, but then fading away. Generally the appearance of dream images in my naps is increasing, and that I've not been remembering dreams from my core sleep. Although, feeling more adjusted to Everyman than ever, so I think I'm reaching the point where my recall is starting to improve again.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning! That was one hell of a night. It started off by me waking up, thinking there was something in the room. My pulse was probably around 160 and the adrenaline was pumping! "Holy shit! God damn that was cool" I said to myself. I don't know what it was about, but I must have remembered what it was then, since I knew it had been a hallucination. Anyways I had some B6 last night before bed and it was some ride. Here's what I dreamt:

D1 Night: Snowboarding with pissed off friend
I'm with my friend Henrik. He's agitated for some reason and I can barely say anything to him without making him angry. We're in my hometown just outside my appartment and we're going down streets with our snowboards. Henrik falls alot, which makes him even angrier. I have no trouble standing up. Suddenly I gotta take a shit real bad, and decide to run to the closest bar, which is Tommy's. I sit down and start shitting like never before, while holding my hand on the lock so that no one can pick it.

D2 9.00: Late for work and ghost in the house
I wake up, and check the time. "Good I got time for a jog before I go to work" I think for myself and put on my running shoes. I start working 16.00 for some reason and I start running. I run for some time before I check the time again. 15.00! "God damnit I'm gonna be late!" I curse and start running home while making a call to my dad, explaining the whole thing. "You can't come to work late! God damnit you know that!" he tells me and I hang up the phone. I'm just about to call my boss when I enter my appartment. I think. I don't recognise any furniture at all. "What the fuck...?" a guy enters the hall and starts freaking out. I recognise him as my neighbour. "This is your fault" I say and I have no idea why. "My fault? How can this be my fault?!" he yells and I calm him down by explaining that something's not right. I take a good look around and he has alot of books, and the appartment is huge compared to mine. "You know my entire appartment would fit in your living room" I say and he laughs. He shows me to the door since I couldn't find it on my own, and I leave.

"That was weird..." I think as I enter my own appartment this time, and try to find all the stuff I need. Suddenly two people appear out of nowhere and they seem to be as confused as I. My mp3 wire gets ripped out of my hands by some invisible force and the plug hits the kitchen counter. I try to take it back but it's like it's magnetic. I finally get it loose and I draw the conclusion that there's a ghost in the building. The two guys with me agree and we try the wire thing again. "Cool, it really sticks!" I say and we play around with it for a while, leaving marks in the wood.

D3 11.00: The new girlfriend experience
I'm at a big carnival of some sort. The place is like a small town and I'm there with my friend Eric, my brother and some other people. I don't know how, but we end up in a large lake, partying with alot of other people. Apparently I had broken up with Monica the other day, and all the girls in the water knew it. I felt like I could use some comfort and inspected them closely. I recognise one girl I know, and she's staring at me, her face glowing in the sun.

Suddenly two girls come up to me and tells me they're having a private party, and that I'm invited. "Is that so?" I ask and grab them both, lifting them up onto my hip, one on each side. They're a bit chubby but I don't mind. I squeeze their asses some and we decide to get out of there. We start swimming towards their "camp" or whatever and I see several grey and brown water snakes under the water. Soon we're up on dry land again.

"How am I supposed to get back again tomorrow?" I ask and they tell me that I can just take a cab or something. But I've got something even better, I've got a Hearthstone! (from WoW) and it's inside my cellphone. To get into their camp, you had to pass through some customs, and apparently you had to make a good impression. I try to remove my headphones and turn off my mp3 but the music won't stop playing. An old chinese man walks out of a black car and heads towards me. I just manage to take the headphones off in time to bow and shake his hand, and man what a handshake!

We enter their camp and the girls walk off to get ready or whatever. I see my friend Eric and he's with a girl he liked back in the days. I think about Monica for a while and wonder why we broke up, my good mood is getting worse by the minute. I start talking to Eric and I ask him what he's up to. "Well not much, we're going fishing tonight" he replies and I ask him if I can come, I really need to talk to someone I know about this whole thing. He tells me that I can't and one of the girls I was with, comes back and grabs my arm and leads me away from him.

We walk up to one of the many houses and enter. This is apparently where I will be sleeping. I put my cellphone on the nightstand and we walk towards a beach. As I'm about to jump in from the bathing platform, I slip on the slimy green algae. I do a few spins in the air and continue spinning as I fall to the bottom. I lie there for a few seconds before I swim for the surface. When my head breaks the water everyone on the platform is laughing with me, and I see a big black, stationary camera standing there. "Oh cool, now I'll be on TV or something" I think and the girl I'm with, jumps in the water and we swim away.

After swimming for a while, we walk up on land, and I can see some new houses. I start thinking about Monica again, and it doesn't feel good. "Why did we break up?" I walk to the backside of the houses and find a small football court, made out of small rectangular stones in mud. I start kicking a ball and the girl joins me. We each score some and I kick the ball far away. "I want to go get my cellphone" I say and she tells me we can go back, she just has to pick some flowers first. I start walking ahead and stop after twenty meters.

Looking back, I see a yellow monster truck with shiny rims that doesn't move. Coming down a hill on a road. Soon after there's a guy with a skateboard in his hands. He takes a big jump and lands on his belly on the skateboard and disappear behind the houses. I pluck some white flowers and think about Monica. I decide to take her back and I wonder what the hell I'm doing with this piece of trash instead of her. The girl comes back and she has a whole bunch of flowers in her hand. We start heading back to the original camp.

As we enter the camp, I ask about my cellphone once again. "Yes relax, you will get it soon, but first you gotta see something" she tells me and I get shoved into a small washing room to wait. Monica is there for some reason and she's working. I decide to tell her later tonight when she comes home about how I want her back, and soon the door opens. "Alright see you later then" I tell her and finish the sentance with "Puss hej" (which means like, kisses, goodbye in Swedish) and the girl's friend looks at me suspiciously.

I'm led into another small house and her mom and dad is there. "What the hell is this?" I think and the mom shows me a piece of cloth she's made. I suddenly realise what's going on. I'm getting married to this girl! I can see the text on the cloth and it's some clever rhymes in Swedish, telling a story about how fast it all happened but that we're in love. They all laugh when the father recite it all and comes to the part of what's going to happen tonight *wink wink*. You'd think that the embroideries were enough. Not really... The mother had covered half the text in silver. And she told me that she wasn't finished yet. They had to work hard to get it all done!

I panic and run out the door. I miss my little Monica so bad that it hurts! Just as I was just about to start crying, I woke up. All sweaty and relieved!

Amount of sleep: 9½ hours

Food before bed: 2 eggs, 1 can of makrill on 3 pieces of knäckebröd,
25cl Applejuice, 2 Omega-3 pills and 50 mg B6 vitamin.

That was a very interesting night! Most vivid dreams I've had in a long time, and the length of them all! I've never had such a long recall ever. Something I ate last night was definitely working. The B6 perhaps? I had also only slept 4 hours the day before, so might be that.

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

The first dream I can remember from last night was that I was camping with my girlfriend and we brought this portable DVD player and we were watching TV shows and movies on it.

Next dream I was sitting on a doorstep with some friends talking when we saw something, I went to see what it was and it was a skunk and it started chasing me and spraying me. I have no sense of smell but I could almost smell the horrid rotten-ish smell of the skunk. I woke up from this dream kicking and waving my arms, when I realized I was dreaming I laughed a little to myself in waking life

The last dream I remember is me, my girlfriend and her friend were in this store talking about what we're wearing for Halloween and going to this Halloween party. We talked about this and looked at these Halloween costumes that were on display, then her friend walked away and I was sort of wondering why we didn't follow her because I thought we had plans to go somewhere else other than this store and look at costumes.

Had a few non-lucids. Thats it.

My friend from Russia, Masha, has asked me to kill her brother and father, because they're both vampires. I get the feeling that the whole family is vampires, but perhaps not evil like these ones. I buy a ridiculous sword, which has a sharp curve and jagged edges going out in front of it. It definitely belongs in a video game, not real life. I'm a little uneasy about just killing people because someone tell me to, even a friend, so I want to investigate a little and make sure that they really are vampires.

A little later I'm in a van with the whole family and crack some stupid joke about them being so cool they must be supernatural, paying attention to their reaction. They don't really react, and I feel like I didn't really get any info out of it.

Over the next week I try to arrange it so that I could kill them easily. I don't want to take them both at once, because I'm pretty sure I couldn't handle them. I need the element of surprise, and I plan to stab them through the chest, though the sword I have lends itself to slashing. I once get the brother alone, but then I think about the consequences of killing him. I'll probably go to jail for a long time for killing both of them, and Masha will probably end up worse off without any male figures in her life. I have the sword ready in a pizza box, and am ready to strike, but I decide not to follow Masha orders.

I go back to her and explain. She doesn't seem disappointed. I want to sell this sword that I spent $200 on now, but I'd have to go back to the Newark airport where I bought it. I think it'd be hassle getting it on the plane, and it'd probably cost me $300 for the flight anyways, so I ought to just wait until I go back to school.

DJ Log: September 21, 2010 – Morning, 7:15AM (USA Eastern)
Text color legend: · NON-DREAM · NOTES · DREAM · LUCID ·

(Note: I recall several dreams this morning but I don't think there was a re-entry, as they all seem quite different. This is the first time I have recalled more than one dream at a time. I took a 100mg 5-HTP before going to bed. During WBTB, I took a 200mg L-Theanine, 4mg Galantamine w/ 200mg Choline, and a full glass of apple juice. This is my first experiment with dream supplements. I don't remember being lucid during any of them, but I remember that they were very vivid and highly detailed. During recall, I was unable to recall many specific fine details.)

Flying (#1)
(Note: I only remember a small fragment of this one.)

I jump from the top of a parking garage and cannot fly at first. I attain flight just before hitting the ground. It is as dark as midnight outside.

Air mattress w/horny DC (#2)
I am in an empty box truck or trailer, laying on an air mattress on the floor. I am horny as hell and am staring at a DC who is also laying on an air mattress. After a while, he turns around and stares back at me. We exchange winks and flirts for a bit, then he gets up and walks away for a brief moment. He returns and I get up and go lay in his lap.

Antiques / flea market (#3)
I am riding in a truck through a city, in search of an antiques store. A DC is driving and I am giving directions. Somehow, I am very familiar with the area. We turn off a main road and onto a side street and I tell the DC to park here, pointing at a door on the side of a building. We parked and walked into the ground floor of the building. It is a flea market and antiques store with three floors. There is a spiral staircase that goes through the center of the store.

I chose to check out the top floor for a while, and my DC walks down the stairs. I found nothing interesting on the top floor, so I start walking down the stairs. My DC shouts up the stairs, “Come check this out!” I get downstairs and he is looking at some random junk that I could care less about. I walk to a table along the wall and look at an old Russian portable black & white TV set. It had two channel knobs and four smaller knobs on the front panel which were labeled in Russian. My DC is walking over to look at it. I said, “Wouldn't this make a wonderful music scope?” (Note: A modified B&W TV to display like an X-Y oscilloscope.) My DC walks over to another table and is looking at some items. I walk over and pick up several remote controls and a couple other things. I place them in a pile in the middle of the floor, along with a few other items I had picked out earlier. I can see some antique shortwave and ham radios sitting on another table in the back. There are some old Hallicrafters and other familiar vintage ham and shortwave rigs sitting there. I pick up my items off the floor and look at the door. This was the dream's exit.

Man is that kickass or what? Another one! Once again, its 3 LDs in 3 nights. And its not even over. But what really got me wondering is how I got a dream within a dream.

Dream 1: I am standing in the mirror and have super long hair. I ask my mom that we should be cutting them, but we have to wait until next weekend. I walk out of the room.

Dream 2: This is freakin weird. I am talking to my sister about lucid dreaming. Then we share a freakin dream. Inside a dream. In that dream, we are in our parking lot at night. There is also another girl. I tell both to take their top off, and they do. Now lets make something clear: The DC who is my sister in the dream is NOT REALLY my sis. Its a chick who I call my sister. Then we both wake up and talk about it.

Dream 3: I suddenly am in front of two girls that look alot like the girls from the Academy. This surprises me enough to snap out of it and become lucid. I ask them who the hell they are, and theyre not them at all. They just look like it. I say hello and while one of them hugs me I do a quick RC to be sure. Walking upstairs, they completely dissapear from the plot as I try to do stuff and wake up soon enough.

Dream 4: We go to Energie Cardio with Josée Lavigueur in bicycles. While inside, I put my shoes in the corner and think about how im gonna enjoy it here.

[/COLOR][COLOR="#800080"]My dad was taking me somewhere in a car, he later mentioned we were picking something up from the school swimming sports. We eventually got there and I noticed that everyone was is my primary school's uniforms, they were my age, from my high school, just in my primary school's uniforms. I had a look around and got them.

There was a timeskip and I was back home, my Aunt L was there and when she asked how the ride home was, I thought for a bit and realised that I don't know. I did a nose pinch RC and [/COLOR][COLOR="#00008B"]I was lucid.

I went through the back gate into my street and thought I might see if I can make a friend in my Dream World. I looked across the street and saw the house there had become a big victorian style house. I walked over to it, about to go up the stairs to the door when a dog came up to me, I pet it for a while until my dog came along. I took a look inside the house and it appeared to be empty, but it looked incredible.

When I went outside, I decided to run through my street, I was slowly building up speed until I was going really fast. I looked into the houses in my street and thought I might go into one that interested me, one was filled with people around 80, another filled with a bunch of idiots smashing bottles over each other's heads and a lot of empty houses. When I came to a real life shortcut to another street, I saw a few joggers come out of it and thought I would talk to one.

She seemed pretty smart for a DC, I asked what she was doing, she said she was training for the 1600 metre sprint at her school sports, after that, I slapped her for no good reason. [/COLOR][COLOR="#4682B4"](New goals, talk to a DC and slap a random DC, Complete)[/COLOR][/INDENT]
