Well, this one is quite big:

Eu estava jogando Dragonica, quando foi anunciado um evento. Fui até um local e falei com um cozinheiro. Ele me explicou as regras de um mini-game e me pôs para jogar contra um adversário. O mini-game lembrava um pouco Tetris, mas era um pouco diferente e mais complicado de jogar. Foram necessárias algumas tentativas até eu aprender como jogar aquilo, e logo já estava fazendo grandes pontuações.
Ao terminar, eu havia vencido um opontente. Eu já estava na minha casa nesse momento, com meu irmão. E o oponente que eu havia vencido era Edmar (um amigo meu). De repente, tudo aquilo não havia sido um confronto, mas sim um show de culinária (???). Eu e meu irmão estávamos na garagem de casa, Edmar estava na casa da Irene (minha vizinha), indo embora. Um garoto veio (de dentro da casa da Irene) e me agradeceu pelo show de culinária, dando-me um presente, que era uma caixa com um boneco (um mini bionicle vermelho). Eu o agradeci e disse que quem fez o verdadeiro show não fui eu, e sim Edmar.
Entrei em casa, e Edmar estava de frente para a sala (segurando o case do violino). Eu contei isso para ele e ofereci-lhe o presente. Ele disse que não queria, mas acabou aceitando no final, dizendo "Agora já era, perdeu."
Quando ele foi embora, eu perguntei para meu irmão se ele queria jogar bola na garagem. Ele disse que não conseguiríamos pegar a bola, pois estava no nosso quarto, e minha mãe estava dormindo lá.
Ficamos sentados em um cômodo da casa (que parecia meu quarto) e, do nada, uma bola de vôlei veio rolando até nós. Eu disse que aquilo era um milagre, e a ofereci para jogarmos bola novamente. Ele disse que faríamos muito barulho e iriamos acordar a nossa mãe, então eu coloquei um óculos escuro e ele quebrou seu óculos ao meio e dividiu um óculos escuro, juntado os dois. Saímos de casa e fomos buscar um campo para jogar.
Chegamos a um local bastante aberto, que era uma quadra de areia que possua quatro gols (um de cada lado) e dois pilares para colocar uma rede de vôlei. O dia estava com um sol muito forte e haviam outras pessoas na quadra também. Eles ficaram passando a bola de vôlei um para o outro, como se estivessem treinando. Em um dos extremos da quadra, havia um lixeiro e alguns cachorros lá. Os caras que estavam lá ficavam fazendo agrados aos cachorros, pois todo o lixo que estava fora da lixeira, os cachorros pegavam-no e colocavam lá dentro.
Eu peguei a bola de vôlei (agora os pilares já tinham uma rede entre eles) e tentei fazer um saque, mas não consegui jogar a bola alto o suficiente. Os caras pegaram a bola e começaram um campeonato.
De repente, o local já era uma quadra profissional de vôlei, haviam 3 times esperando para jogar, inclusive com seus treinadores e técnicos.
Lembro de algumas pessoas que estavam jogando também, como Gabriel H, Gustavo e Arnaldo.
Eu entrei em um time e fomos jogando. Fiz uma recepção de saque perfeita, e estava jogando muito bem. Era saque do Gustavo, ele me pediu para que eu passasse a bola para ele. Percebi que estava tudo meio apagado e não-nítido (obviamente indicando um sonho), mas não percebi o que acontecia.
Nosso time perdeu, o outro time saiu e voltou, junto com o outro time oponente. Eu entrei no time oponente novamente, mas como vi que já estava completo (8x8), saí.
Não lembro o que aconteceu a partir daí, mas o sonho foi acabando até eu acordar.

Eu estava na educação física, em frente às quadras de mini-vôlei, conversando com o Vinícius Freire. De repente, apareceram 2 skates, um branco com formato estranho e ouro normal. Vini foi tentar andar com um deles, mas não conseguia manter o equiíbrio direito. Ele tentou dar um olie, mas só conseguiu empinar o skate.
Era minha vez de tentar. Peguei o skate preto e fui pegando velocidade (isso através da quadra de basket), mas quando eu ia tentar fazer um flip, a quadra acabou e eu quase caí nas lajotas do pátio. Peguei o skate novamente e peguei velocidade de novo (dessa vez no sentido inverso) e, quando fiz o flip, ele saiu errado e o skate pulou muito alto. Eu quase caí no chão, e vi o skate se chocando contra o mesmo, e sendo despedaçado. Fui juntando as peças que caíram (a maioria estava atrás do gol da entrada da quadra coberta). Eram rodas, parafusos e outras peças que eu não conhecia.
O dono dos skates apareceu, eu perguntei se ele era o dono, ele confirmou. Pedi desculpas e disse que iria tentar remontar o skate e que, se não conseguisse, iria comprar um novo pra ele. Ele estava calmo e concordou com a minha ideia. Me disse em qual banca do camelô eu deveria ir para comprar o skate, caso não conseguisse arrumá-lo.
Peguei as peças do skate e coloquei-as na frente da entrada da quadra de basket. Peguei o manual do skate (que agora já era um barco de lego [???]) e comecei a montá-lo. Uma criança, de no máximo 4 ou 5 anos, começou a me atrapalhar, colocando a mão no skate-barco e mexendo nas peças. Eu já estava a ponto de bater no pobre indefeso, mas vi que um idoso me observava de dentro da quadra de basket. Deixei a criança de lado e fui tentando montar o skate/barco. A criança deitou nas minhas pernas e começou a dormir. Haviam várias maneiras de montar o barco, mas o dono dos skates havia montado de um jeito que não constava na manual, então eu tive que ir adivinhando o que fazer.
Fui acordando e, na minha cama, ainda sentia o peso da criança por cima de minhas pernas.

It seems as if my cycle goes like: X days of good recall, 3 days of Epic recall (5-6), Lucid Streak (2-3), 2 days of Poor recall (1-2)

Dream 1: I dunno where I got that one, but our house is invaded with spiders. I also see a TV show where a girl eats tarantulas (yuck). I am with someone else. Once again, not a nightmare. I dont have nightmares since ive started this whole LD thing. Things that would normally be nightmares just...pass

Dream 2: This one is weird. i try to be friends with Adam. I talk to him about how we dont know each other and we should try to be friends. In the atrium, I play cards with friends and eventually sit down with him. In the end, I think we kinda make peace with each other .

Dream 3: I watch a Tv show in which they sell weird items like a plaque u put in our mouth that alerts you when someone changes the channel (?). Im missing a big part of this one unfortunately I do remember that in the middle of it I thought about ways to use passive control instead of active control for better results.

Dream 4: Very short. I listen to a woman telling she hired Franco Fava (politician) to be the clown for her kids birthday and it cost 2000$.

Dream 5: Something to do about pokemon. Il try to remember it sometime today.

Imma prepare myself for the LD tonight (hopefully)

I am walking round a courtyard with one of my old best friends (in reality she's been off for a long time and isn't due back for a few weeks) and trying to break the ice. I say to her (here comes the annoying part...) "Have you ever heard of lucid dreaming?" and she says "No." I say "I think you'd like it."
"Oh really? How can you be so sure?"
"Just trust me. Try it tonight. It happens when you're conscious in your dreams. You can be anyone and do anything you like."
We go off to a writing club. The person who runs it looks like the joker and has mascara smudged around her eyes from crying.

The dream ends there and I wake up and curse myself for missing such an obvious sign.

Hello I just can't stop laughing. Yesterday, after partying around with my friends (which I unfortunately don't see often enough) I had a few dream fragments which again seemed so real, that I didn't realized that it were just dreams

1. I'm with my friends in my favourite pub (although that night I wasn't there). I fell really drunk, like it was reality: Everything spun a bit, I had trouble to stand etc. Although I was drunk, I saw every single detail, I remember that all lights were on, it was so bright and clear, just like a film in HD. I stand next to the bar and listen to what my friends are saying. Suddenly the barkeeper gives me a beer. I'm confused, because I didn't order anything. Or least I didn't remember. The barkeeper wanted that I pay my beer, because he knew that I ordered it. And instead of arguing with the barkeeper, I took my purse and tried to grab a few €. But I lose a few of them and they end up lying on the ground. I stand up, I feel really dizzy, I concentrate to not fall and finally pick them up.
2. Suddenly I'm on the back seat of my own car. A friend of mine drives my car, another friend sits in the passenger seat. I don't know how I got there but I thought that I just fall asleep for a few minutes. (haha false awakening). My friends are trying my CD's. They complained that my music is creepy, but I didn't listen at them and started singing a few lines. So they changed at least 5 times the CD's. They stopped at one song: Baby when the lights (David Guetta). They complained that it is such a crappy song. But they don't change the song and start making fun of it. Suddenly, there are screens everywhere who show the videoclip of this song. The song changes and doesn't go like the original song. I'm a bit confused of it.

I awake and it's 4 am. I do a RC, I'm definitely not dreaming and fall asleep again.

3. I'm in a bar. There aren't my friends any more but my mum is there I'm really confused. She orders something to drink: I get a soda and she a beer I don't know what to say. I take my soda and she disappears. The barkeeper comes towards me, my soda has gone and he gives me a towel. I have to clean the bar. I have to give him all the empty glasses, but I never give him those which he wanted. I don't know what happens after: I can just remember that there were tickets for a plane or a train....

4. Another fragment (I just scribbled down a few words) which I don't remember involves an elevator and a reception.

Well that's pretty much of it.

At the factory at night. Walking outside. The workers are having dinner. There is a small road side restaurant outside. It it a lively place. The cook is working with a big wok and I see flames coming out of it and he doesn't wear a top. I don't eat from there but decides to make my own. I walk to the market to buy ingredients.

This girl allows me to use her car instead of bike home. She is short and wears a blue jacket, a blouse and a blue skirt. I lost a bike part. Her car is parked in a weird location. She drives a BMW which is parked in a Thai mall car park. This scene is repeated.
I hug the girl inside the mall. I then go on to eat some sushi with my dad. This guy sitting beside me has eaten all the black ground pepper.
I take the elevator but it is a roller coaster ride and I feel the G-force. It takes me from one part of the mall to another.

Last night I wasn't even trying to have a MILD but I had a lucid dream, I think.
I am sleeping in either an apartment in a tall building or in a hospital bedroom. I see green curtains and cool air is blowing in through the window which is wide open. I get up and do a reality check. I do many reality checks in this dream. About three nose pinches and one gravity check. And also stabilized by rubbing my hands together.
I see colored balloons briefly. And they have writing on them. They are floating in front of a blue background. There is a red and a green balloon and possibly a blue one.
I am walking in a mall at B-2. It is dark or very dimly lit. I see people vaguely walking around. They look a bit like zombies.
I am still wondering if I had a lucid dream or not so I try to fly (thought: because I can't do that in real life). And I see a picture of myself flapping my wings like a duck. Again I see myself against a blue background. And I am not wearing clothes.
I ask some guys if I'm dreaming. There are about three people. There is one old man. They say that I am not dreaming. Then I say, "so I've been doing all these things awake?"
Very low lucidity though. Or even none. Need expert opinion here.

Second dream:
I go to have a shower at a neighbors place. The house is my old host family's house and I am seeing it from the car park. I see myself having a shower through the bathroom window. The bathroom has dim orange lighting. When the neighbor comes back, I rush out.

Third dream:
Me, my parents and my sister are in the countryside in Thailand. We are in the Toyota van and the road ahead is dirt with tall grass to both sides. My sister is biking in front of the van. Then my parents decide to bike as well and leave me to drive in this manual car and I can't drive manuals. I come to a river nonetheless. There is no bridge but a kind of bamboo construction that one could climb on in order to get across the bridge. Somehow I manage to get the van on that and in order to get on different levels of the bamboos I have this red tape that I shoot to the next level and the car magically appears there. Cool!

Another image. I remember Sailor Moon (Astonishing, since I haven't seen that show in several years) in the air, hair flowing behind her, looking ready to attack. I don't know what or why, but I do remember feeling safer because she was there.

Experimenting with some dream titles to break up the wall of text a bit.

0230: F. Two sentences of illegible notes.

Birthday Girl, Bro Code
0337: C. Even in a dream, I obey the bro code. I'm at a girl's birthday party. I came with Lance. It's indoors at a house. There are about a dozen people there. It's dark outside and mostly dark inside. Lance and I pull the birthday girl aside to give her the gifts, so the three of us are alone in a dark room. Lance forgot to bring a gift, but luckily I brought two. I say they are from both of us.

The birthday girl has short black hair. She's tall and pretty. She's wearing a dress. She opens the presents. One is wrapped in purple, the other in yellow. Yellow is her favorite color? I don't remember what the gifts are but she really likes them and is very happy. She starts making out with both of us. (Not the arrangement I had planned for my first threesome, but whatever) As things get heated, it's clear the girl is more interested in me. She pulls off my pants and ignores Lance. Lance gets up and paces around the room upset. He keeps saying "That's not cool." I stop her and get up. She wants me to come back. I leave with Lance.

Hell Is An Amusement Park Line
0510: C. I need to raise half a million dollars, fast. Maybe I'm in debt to a loan shark.

Scene change. I'm in purgatory. I guess I'm dead. I'm waiting in line to be judged to go to heaven or hell. The focus changes to someone else, like I'm watching the movie of some else's life. The main character is a man who died while trying to solve a crime. He's destined to go to heaven, but he chooses the go to hell instead. He hopes he can find more information in hell to solve the crime. I think that's heroic. His partner tries to stop him and says he's crazy. Our hero says he's from San Francisco. Somehow that makes sense to the partner and lets him go.

Scene change. Now it's hell. People come sliding down a big ramp into a large red cavern crowded with people. It's lit by flames and it's fairly bright. Our hero comes sliding down. The focus switches back to me in first-person. I'm already in hell when the hero arrives. In hell, everyone is standing in tight groups in little pens formed by metal railings. It's just like waiting in line for an amusement park ride. I'm standing near some elementary school classmates and they are talking on and on about boring stuff. I think, this IS torture. I think that's funny.

I yell to someone who just arrives down the slide. "Hey, I hope you can come up with the money, by the way. Just because I'm dead doesn't mean I don't have bills to pay. But it's not like I can do anything about it from down here."

Birthday Gifts, Annoying Ice Cream Girl
0716: C. I'm indoors in an unfamiliar place but I get the impression that it's my own bedroom in a house. Apparently, it's my birthday. I'm unwrapping presents. Most of the presents are children's toys like dolls and figurines. My sister gives me a new Blackberry. I walk across the room to plug it in to charge. Another gift is D&D-like role playing game. Hugh wants to play so I unfold the map across the floor. I remark how big the map is. It's about 6 feet by 3 feet.

Scene change. I'm in a outdoor mall in a food court. I'm wearing a blue shirt with faded white lettering that says "BIRTHDAY TODDLER." Everyone is gone except Hugh, but he starts walking away leaving me alone. There are other random people in the food court though. A girl from the crowd walks up to me. I'm not attracted to her. She says she want to satisfy some urges and then walks away somewhere, as if to go fetch something that she will bring back to me. I feel awkward. Another girl walks up to me. This one is attractive and I want to talk to her. She wishes me happy birthday. I ask how she knew it was my birthday. She says it's written on my shirt.

The first girl comes back and hijacks the conversation. The second girl walks away. I'm annoyed about that but I try to be polite. The girl has a variety of ice cream and she starts feeding it to me. She want me to guess the flavors and pick my favorite. I play along to be polite. The first one is dark cherry. The second is strawberry. There are two more that I haven't tasted yet. The next one is green so I'm thinking it will either be mint or pistachio. Dream fades.

0740: False awakening. I don't RC. I roll over to write in my dream journal about my last dream. I write something but I don't note the time. Then I wake up for real. I RC. I roll over to write in my dream journal. I think, wait! Didn't I just do this? Damn it! I write: "False awakening. I dream of writing in my journal."

Unstable DEILD
0811: D. Again, I'm in the food court of an indoor mall but this one is different. I'm with two friends but I don't recall who. We sit at a bench near the actor who played George's father in Seinfeld. But he doesn't say anything. A young blond girl walk up to us nervously. She says "Did you guys know there's a dance coming up?" We say nothing and she walks away.

Another group of girls comes and sits near us in the same set of benches. One attractive blond looks at me and says "Hi I don't know if you remember me." I don't but I guess just to keep the conversation going: "Did we meet last night?" She says no. "I'm on of the 'Real Players.'" I have no idea what that means. Then she starts talking about a family and farm animals. Scene fades.

I wake up and DEILD into a lucid. My view is totally distorted. It's like I'm looking at a blurry TV, off center and from an angle. On the TV it looks like Street Fighter and I struggle to recognize one of the characters is Guile. I turn my head to try to center the view. Instead, I enter a rocky tunnel. I'm floating through, like I'm being carried underwater. It's like in medical films when they stick a camera down a person's esophagus. I look at my hands and rub them. The view still sucks. Dream ends. I think, damn, another difficult scene. I guess I need to be more prepared to face anything that comes at me. Or maybe I just need to be patient and let the dream solidify before trying any control.

I remember three dreams; two fragments, and one longer dream. First, the fragments:

1) I'm playing the new Pokemon game, which I strange, because I haven't played Pokemon in years. It's a lot of fun, and has pretty good graphics. Go figure.
2) My orthodontic permanent retainer, which goes behind my teeth, has broken and cracked in a bunch of different places. I'm worried about how to hide it. This, minus the hiding, somewhat reflects a waking life situation from a week or so ago, where one of the brackets broke.

Now, for the relatively more vivid dream:

Backyard

I'm in the backyard of what I guess is a daycare of sorts; physically, none of the people here are young children, but that's what the situation feels like. We're going to eat lunch outside, and I grab a drink from the cooler. The backyard is fairly large, with a few tall trees, a brick or concrete sitting area (maybe 20 by 20 feet), and all around of it grass and more trees. I can't recall an end to it, but on one side is the building itself, which is one story tall and not too wide. I can't tell how far back it goes. There are several other people sitting and standing around, though I don't recognize them. I walk along the middle of the brick section.

What I had taken to be leaves on the ground, I now realize are GIANT SPIDERS!!!! I have no idea where my subconscious thought that one up, because I'm not particularly afraid of spiders, nor have I thought much about them recently. Anyways, these things looked like blown up daddy longlegs, but the size of a dinner plate, I-kid-you-not. I moved towards one, and it jumps at least twenty feet into the air (I decided it had pulled itself up on a web really really fast. Genius me) before floating back down. I moved a good distance out of the way, because I didn't want it to land on me.

Next, I'm playing with some sort of legos or blocks with a couple of other kids. Clean-up time is called, so we begin to put everything up. We get done, except that I have a collect of four, rainbow colored plastic semi-transparent cups that I have no idea what to do with. I take them over by the cooler, to someone I do recognize: I'll call him TR. He seems to be somewhat in charge, so I ask him, "Where should I put these cups?" He becomes annoyed, and says, "Why didn't you put those away earlier?" I argue that I didn't have them earlier, then give them to him. End of dream.

★☆☆☆☆

I'm switching to the five star system for a couple of reasons. For one thing, it allows you, the reader, to know which of my entries are skippable (ie: this one). For another, I'm sure it will aggravate the person who keeps one-starring my entries. You know who you are.

I hate clothes shopping. Also, "blonde" isn't in my browser dictionary. Weird.

09/25/10



I need some new clothes for job hunting. In this frame of mind, I find myself in a moderately high-end clothing store in a mall. I'm looking along the racks on the wall, and I've found what appears to be a genuinely horrifying purple-striped dress shirt. It seems fine within the dream, though. I pick up a pair of pants or two, even though they're brown and probably won't fit properly. I've decided that this store has shirts that fit really well, but I usually buy my pants at another store. I pick up another pair of jeans and head over to the changing rooms.

"Doors are unlocked, right?" I ask the salesperson behind the counter.

"What?" She looks up. She's blonde, early twenties, and has her hair pulled up into a ponytail. She looks me up and down, seemingly confused about something. I've probably switched genders in the last five seconds or something.

Time skip. I've finished trying things on. Now I'm looking at shoes.

Somebody get me out of here.

Scare Factor: Through the roof. (1/10)

Non-Dream Non-Lucid Lucid False Awakening

I was going to my crush R's party. Somehow my friends and I ended up my den for our party. I was all spastic and clingy with everyone (especially R). I went into my room, and I told myself, 'Oh I can't sleep right now.' I walked out of my room. In the hallway, I came across a few unfamiliar people and saw a screen pop-up before my eyes. Apparently we were playing a game. It had something to do with growing food and even weapons and such. I started yelling at someone and accused him/her of cheating because he/she was ahead of everyone in the game. I walked back in my room. I laid down, and my dream started to fade out, but my dream, friend called my name. I got up, and went to see what was going on. Him and a few others were playing a car racing game called 'C'. I was kinda creeped out by the dark room, so I laid down on the floor. I asked, 'Where's R?" All I got was a muffled answer, because the dream faded out.

Notes:
Vividity: 6/10
I am dreaming more and more of R. It's starting to get odd and obsessive.

DJ Log: September 25, 2010 – Morning, 4:15AM (USA Eastern)
Text color legend: · NON-DREAM · NOTES · DREAM · LUCID ·

I am in a double wide mobile home. The walls are the typical 1970's wood paneling and the carpet is medium green. It's cold and windy outside and there is snow on the ground. There are two dogs out on the deck, each staring in one of the sliding doors. I let one of the dogs in to warm up for a bit, telling it to sit on the ottoman by the heater vent. After a brief moment, I let the other dog in also. There is a white folding table along the wall with an industrial-sized bag of Beggin' Strips and some kind of electronic test equipment sitting on it.
