    2. false awakening, but not lucid.

      by , 07-23-2010 at 07:55 PM
      dream

      was on my bed, having woken up. still at night, around 12am by my estimation (slept early at 10 that day in real life). got up, opened my closet and wanted to change my sporty black shorts to the surfing-kind shorts, because it would be more cooling and comfy i guess?

      woke up

      was still in my blacks, and pretty sure it was a dream, not sleep walking with remembering.

      yeah, actually i think i woke up for real around 12am, and was really tired (was feeling really tired and sleepy), and i think i shifted between states of sleep and states of consciousness (even though not fully conscious, since willpower was weak). probably had that dream during that time. i guess if i had told myself to lucid dream during the moments i was genuinely awake, i might have been able to be lucid in the dream...is that what we call WILD? though perhaps i could bypass (or not) the sleep paralysis state?

      House Party:

      A large group of people meet in a hotel lobby and started to party together. All of a sudden the party moved from the hotel to my house. After a long time of partying, the house is trashed and everyone takes showers in a huge bathroom in my house and leaves. My girlfriend's dad shows up and starts picking up beer cans off my floor. I thank him for his help and start doing laundry because all my clothes were dirty because of the party. The dream ends with me admiring large piles of my clean clothes.


      War:

      I am in the middle of a war on an urban battlefield. I am sitting in the second story of blown out building sniping people. My girlfriend is downstairs covering the entrance to the building I'm in. Suddenly, I hear my parents arguing across the battlefield. It sounded as if they were yelling into megaphones so that everyone could hear them. My girlfriend and I run through the trenches in the battlefield together. We arrive in an office building and take all our clothes off. The dream ends as we stand there naked.


      Intellectual Breakfast:

      My high school teachers, college professors, sister, and girlfriend are all at Le Peep (a breakfast restaurant in Indianapolis). A few of the teachers bring lollipops with them. We all move into a private room and talk with each other. The food in the private room is not Le Peep food but instead a food that one would have at a catered work meeting. An older man walks over and sits in front of me. He asks me how my college schedule looks this semester and I tell him it won't be too hard but challenging enough. He then proceeds to to ask me a whole bunch of personal questions. He asks me if I like boys or girls and my grandpa yells from somewhere I couldn't see that if I didn't like girls then he would kill me. Naturally I do like girls so I told the man that my girlfriend was sitting at the next table over with my mom, sister, and aunt. He leaves and I wake up.


      I didn't get a very good sleep last night so I think that explains the fragmented and short dreams.

    4. Spinning

      by , 07-23-2010 at 07:27 PM
      Hey, I've been spinning in my dreams a lot. For example, i was on my way to sleeping and I found myself spinning and then going down a hole with all kinds of things and beings. I've noticed the more relaxed I get the faster I go... and as I surrender it feels really good, almost like flying. I sometimes spin upside down, like a top... again, as I relax, I spin faster. Does anyone know what this means? Is it common?

    5. First Week of Dream Recollection

      by , 07-23-2010 at 07:20 PM
      I hadn't remembered my dreams in years until this last week when I finally began writing them down. All are dream fragments. Here is the product of this first week:

      7/13/10 - I'm fighting in a building, looks like some sort of government building lots of wood carved pillars. Fighting against men in suits, shooting back and forth from cover. Dove behind a bar, shouting that they were using nos(?), which meant their bullets were piercing our cover. At that point I was shot sideways through the throat and was left there while the other people on my side ran off. Did not wake up immediately at this point, felt myself choking on my blood at which point I eventually woke up. Died slowly, which was a new experience.

      7/19/10 - Remember my mom in my dream very upset with me because she found out I was dating a much older woman.

      7/20/10 - Dream 1: Just remember emotion of the dream, I was very upset and was crying.

      Dream 2: Just remember a visual of a video game screen, seemed like some sort of merchant. My dad's voice was saying that he was buying something.

      7/21/10 - Dream 1: Invented a toy submarine that turns into a beer chugging device like a beer bong. Gripped from front. Open, cage-like in front. Filled from back.

      Dream 2: Working as a tech support person in a snow fortress. Out of iPhone 4 replacements, my bumper on my iPhone is warped so the charger doesn't fit. Some girl is talking about leeches and how they cost the country $400 million per year because they chew on your spine. (weird).

      7/22/10 3:15 AM - Playing some sort of button game. Three colors, red, green, and blue. Seems like a matching game of some sort. But collectible buttons. Buttons are easy to obtain, playing some girl.

      7/23/10 - Went through a martial training program in the mountains. I felt like I was some sort of visitor but was still participating for some reason. They were split into separate groups based on the elements. I was participating in the earth group. I sparred some girl from the water group in a river. There was constant deep chanting, like Tibetan chanting. I helped my partner pass his test and they all thanked me for my help as I left with others through what seemed like a normal door.
    6. Walking on Water, Home School

      by , 07-23-2010 at 06:41 PM
      Night of 2/1/09

      Walking on Water

      I was with Shannon who I work with and we were driving somewhere in a beach area... the biggest thing I remember about this dream is that we had to cross a lake or some body of water and we got out of the car and Shannon just stepped out onto the water and started walking across it. There was a bridge under the water that we couldn't really see, but she knew it was there. I remember having dreams like this before.

      Home School

      I'm with Andrea and we're walking down a street in like Carytown. It's dark. There's a line of people waiting outside of an ice cream parlor. I see some people I know that I don't talk to anymore and hook arms with Andrea and walk a little faster to get away from the people in line. She pulls away and starts talking to someone else in line. I'm frustrated so I keep walking and make it to a building that I suppose is our apartment. I walk in the door and it's a classroom with desks and people in it. I'm confused so I start yelling and tell everyone to get out because this is my house and what the hell are you people doing in my house?!?!?

      No one leaves. They look at me like I'm crazy. Then I see this girl that I knew from elementary school. She's crying and freaking out for some reason, so I go over to her, and she's under a desk. I hold her and kiss her on the head and tell her it's going to be ok. I look over and see Andrea sitting in one of the desks. I give her a look like, "help me!" and then I wake up.

      Hmmm.

      1.) In an airport. At the check-in counter. I think I was a spy. I was trying to re route my trip through 23 different cities so that the people following me couldn't find me. Then I walked out and found my mom and dad in a chauffeured car and we went to a copy shop. I said I needed a notepad for my planner.

      2.) At my parents' house. In the kitchen. Danielle, Jen, and Jen's girlfriend Heather are there. Danielle's phone's T9 isn't working so she hands it to me to fix. Then I get mad and throw her phone at Jen and tell her she needs to get out of the house, I don't even know why she's there. So I go to punch her and she dodges it. So I put her in a headlock and bring her to the front door and tell her to leave. She and Heather go to the car and Jen's just generally bitching. It's pitch black outside. Then everyone from Jamie's house across the street come outside and start heckling Jen and Heather. I look down the road and see a horse drawn carriage pull into someone's garage and some kids on a swing set. Then a mack truck comes down the street. The front says "Richmond Times-Dispatch." On the side, it says www.bearbackers.com. Then Jen comes up to the front porch and sets off fireworks. A cop driving down the street does a u-turn and chases after her. I turned to Danielle and asked her, "Is this really happening??" It just seemed like it was too much going on. I feel like I was lucid for just a moment because I figured out that I was dreaming.

      whatever you do, don't go to that website!!!

      OMG I haven't had any worthwhile dreams lately. I had one where I was skydiving and I landed in front of my grandma's house... One where I was outside and went down some stone steps in pitch black darkness on stilts made of toilet paper tubes and I found a laptop computer when I made it down the stairs... and a bunch more that I don't even remember. My memory for my dreams has been pretty shitty lately. I'm not really stressed out or anything but school has started back a few weeks ago so maybe I just don't have room in my brain for dreaming *and* remembering them. We'll see.

      OK, I remember last night's dream. I was at the Superbowl, but I don't think I was supposed to be there. I was on the bottom level and it was all indoors. There were different rooms and I kept looking into them. I found one and it was right on the fifty yard line. The Bears were playing (they're my favorite team). It was like a conference room and there were people in suits all over the place. I sat down at a table and a guy in a suit offered me a slice of pizza. I wasn't interested in the pizza and the guy in the suit told me that if I wanted anything I should ask the waiter and I could have anything I wanted... there was no menu or anything. I said I wanted a quesadilla. After looking around the room for a while, one side was just a solid window that was like right where the action was, the waiter came back with my quesadilla. I don't remember much else.

    9. The Hispanic Lady Talking About Shrooms, Grey's Anatomy Bus Accident

      by , 07-23-2010 at 06:30 PM
      01/26/09

      The Hispanic Lady Talking About Shrooms

      I'm driving on a highway and I get off on an exit that leads only to a parking lot. So what else is there to do but park the car? I get out of the car and I start taking a small dog for a walk. I'm in a townhouse complex but where I parked is the only parking for the entire neighborhood. All the rows of townhouses are set in a grassy area and there's not even really any sidewalks. I'm walking this dog and he's just a super cute and friendly little brown and white fluff ball.

      All of a sudden, the dog banks to the left and runs to the end of this row of townhouses as I'm chasing after him because he's still on the leash and runs up to the porch of the house on the end. The inner door is open but the outer glass door is closed. A woman comes to the door and opens it to let out a medium sized dog and my dog and this other dog are like hanging out. So the owner and I sit on the porch and I told her something like, "my dog must have wanted to see your dog!"

      Then, in Spanish, we start having a conversation about how she was just involved in a car accident. She was turning a corner and she ran straight into two cop cars. I asked her for a cigarette and she goes into the house and brings out a cigarette and a yellow clear Bic lighter. I hand the lighter back to her and tell her that I have a lighter in the car. Then we start talking about a book she's reading about shrooms. I tell her, "no way! I'm reading the same book!!!" So she brings me into the house into the den and starts showing me all the books she's reading. They're all wrapped in clear plastic like they're collector's comic books or something.

      Then it's time for me to leave and I get my dog and we start walking back to the car. Now I'm at a busy intersection and as I'm about to cross the street, this little rice burner car comes barreling across the street and comes within inches of hitting me and my dog! I was so scared that I picked up my dog and ran across the street crying because my dog almost died! Then I get into this car with this red headed guy who I think was Darryl, a guy I knew briefly in high school. I ask him if he would take me to drop off my Netflix at the nearest mailbox.

      Grey's Anatomy Bus Accident

      I'm in a hospital. There's been a terrible accident and the waiting room is full of people. There's a guy with no arm. His arm is actually behind the check in desk hanging from the ceiling. I tell him I'd love to help him, but I have some people to check on and I'll be back in a few minutes. He seems really calm.

      I walk down a hallway and peek into all the rooms and see that everyone has visitors. I feel like this is strange because it feels like it's two or three in the morning. Everyone's hugging someone. Then I walk into a room and see Dr. Sheppard and Dr. Bailey spooning in a patient's bed asleep. I think I woke them up somehow and Bailey gets all mad at me because she's just been in surgery and needs a nap! So she gets up and I guess goes off to find another bed. Dr. Sheppard asks me if I have the patient's medication and I get it out of my pocket for him and hand it to him. I see that the bottle is filled with white pills and there's one dark blue one in it. I tell him that's my ibuprofen and I put it in there because I didn't want to get pocket fuzz on it. I leave the room and Bailey comes out and starts bitching at me again, so I go and hide in a bathroom.

      I get out of the bathroom and remember I have to find the guy with no arm. I go back to find him and he says he wants to introduce me to his wife and two little girls. His wife is a girl I went to high school with, Tiffany. I give her a big hug and tell her I'm so sorry. She seems not to care that her husband has lost his arm, either. They're either in denial or they're taking it really well, I think! So Tiffany takes me into the waiting room to meet her twin daughters. They look like they're eight years old. She grabs one girl's wallet and opens it up and hands it to me. It's a learner's permit. I'm wondering how old these kids are and then how old I am because there's no way Tiffany can have fifteen year old daughters.

      So I start talking to the girls. They're both very smart and they're working on homework. Go figure, it's Spanish homework. So I start helping them with it and I see that they've drawn pictures in place of words they don't know. So I ask them who drew these and that I thought it was a combination of the both of them and they said yes... this whole part of the conversation was in Spanish. Then Tiffany starts writing down the side of the page, "dance dance dance." I looked at the one girl and asked if she liked Justice and all I could think about was D.A.N.C.E. "Do the dance... do... the... dance!" She looked at me kind of puzzled at first then caught on to what I was talking about.
    10. Watching a scary movie, shoe shopping, army video game

      by , 07-23-2010 at 06:28 PM
      1/25/09

      Watching a Scary Movie

      I'm not in a theater, but I can tell I'm watching a movie because I'm not acting or affecting the action in any way, and I'm not involved as like a third person scenario.

      There's a man and he kidnapped a kid. I can't remember what was leading up to this or what the scene was, though. Next, there's the kid in a pit with an angry snarling beast of a dog. It's like a german sheppard on steroids. The man comes back and puts some gross looking food in like a trough for the dog to eat. He says that it's human body parts and the only way the dog will eat it is if he mixes in his own food with it.

      Then somehow, I guess my brain made a connection with food and the next thing I remember is making a wrap with turkey and cheese and tomato and lettuce on a tortilla in like a convenience store.

      Shoe Shopping

      I'm at a place like Famous Footwear or DSW and I'm looking at a wall of shoes. (I remember having a couple of shoe shopping dreams before sort of like this.) They're all skate shoes and tennis shoes. They're all on SALE!!! So I start picking out shoes and it's like I can't stop! I find four pairs I like and I think they all have some sort of purple on them. I go up to the cash register to get rung up and there's a huge pile of unsorted socks next to where I'm supposed to be rung up. I start going through and finding matches and they're on sale, too! So I end up with four pairs of shoes and a ton of socks and I'm ready to walk out and I think, Andrea's going to be so mad that I bought all these shoes... maybe I can put them up on ebay. Ha!!

      Army Video Game

      I'm in the woods and there's a dirt hill with little spaces cut out into it. It's in a semi-circle shape and all flat on the top. In front of this "hill" are dog crates. They're plastic with a metal grate for a front door. I see that people are getting into them and other people are handing them laptops. It's for a video/reality game. These people in the dog crates will be navigating people in the woods playing an army game. They are set up with laptops and headphones and infrared goggles. When they get into their crates, people push them into these holes into the side of the hill.

      A guy I used to work with, Scott, goes into his crate and freaks out and says he can't do it, so I get into the crate and put the goggles and headphones on and they push me into the hole. I'm looking at the computer screen and I see tanks and army men shooting at each other. I doesn't seem like the game is really taking place in the woods I was just looking at.

    11. Fragments

      by , 07-23-2010 at 06:19 PM
      This dream is already very vague for me as I chose not to write anything major down immediately after waking up. I remember that I was suddenly in grade 12 again, except my whole class and teacher were all working in my house. It was business, I remember this because the head of the business department was the teacher. I remember I was with my friend David in the kitchen and for some reason we were both trying to draw the Canadian flag with absolutely no luck. I no longer remember the rest of the dream, though I do remember that before I woke up we were walking up to my room. A lil Wayne song was playing and it somehow started transitioning into that really crappy new Usher song (Oh My God, I think) and then into some hilarious Jamaican sounding dialect. Then I woke up.


      This was a morning dream, and what was strange about it was that it carried a similar characteristic to many other fragments I had that morning. I was sitting on the floor of a mall near my house with a kid from my old Highschool that is a nice guy but I was never really good friends with. I'm not sure what we were talking about, I just remember that I had a very strong cold and that it made him uncomfortable. My nose was stuffed and I was coughing and I felt like shit. He was kept moving around me, I guess in an effort to avoid getting sick. Then I woke up.


      This dream also took place in the same mall, except it was with people that I actually see on a more regular basis. I remember that we were walking towards a down escalator. I was sick, much like I was in the previous fragment but not nearly as bad, and they were keeping a distance because of that. (when I woke up I noted this as a dream sign for the morning) I remember someone having some sort of portable video device, possibly an iPhone, and talking about Grand Theft Auto 4. I said, "Hey, I wanna watch the trailer for that game cause then maybe I can fall asleep and have a lucid dream". My friends gave me a weird look and then I woke up.

    12. New to this, but at the same time, maybe not so much.

      by , 07-23-2010 at 06:11 PM
      I just joined this site. Lately, I've been having trouble with dream recall. However, last night I remember having three dreams. None of them lucid, of course. The first one was just a fragment, but I remember flying. I had wings like an airplane or something. I also remember something about a toy box in that dream. I remember that i woke up after each dream, which gave me a chance to write all of them down. I didn't use that chance after the other two, though, so I remember that I dreamed, I just don't recall what about.

      I used to have lucid dreams all the time when I was a kid. I'm really not sure how I managed it. I had never even heard of lucid dreams. I remember that I really wanted to learn how to control my dreams somewhat because I had nightmares all the time. At the time, I didn't realize what kind of power I had within my grasp. I just used the knowledge that I was dreaming to wake myself up when I had a nightmare if I chose to.

      These days, however, if I remember my dreams at all, they are vague and blurry. If I could just learn to recall my dreams better, I think I would also remember how to make myself lucid.
    13. First Lucid in 5 Years!!!!

      by , 07-23-2010 at 06:06 PM
      narration
      lucid
      dreaming





      I dreamt that I was rollerblading through an area near my house right by this convenient store. There were some kids behind me and they were talking about someone I used to know, calling him scary and exaggerating characteristics about him. I started laughing out loud to taunt them because I know that the guy is totally harmless. Then I went into the convenient store from its back entrance in order to make my way through to the other side like a short cut. Before I left, the store clerk who was somewhere near my age started telling the kids who were trailing me that the guy they were talking about is harmless. He mentioned his ex-girlfriend and I told him that they broke up a few months ago and that he broke it off. I left the store and I started to wake up. At this point I became aware that I was dreaming and tried really hard to focus on staying in the dream, I heard a sound from the real world but simply imagined that it was a truck passing by on the road next to me. I woke up. (Looking back on it I think that this was a false awakening) Determined to make this work I forced myself back to sleep into the same dream, only this time I was slightly further away from the store. I was sitting on the sidewalk with the guy from the store and he was holding a book about lucid dreaming saying, telling me that I was dreaming. This time I actually got up and said, “Hey I’m dreaming!” but I could immediately feel that I was waking up. I got up and started rubbing my hands together, which didn’t feel fully real but I was able to feel a chalky texture in my hands. I’m not exactly sure what happened in-between, I either had a false awakening or was just transported to my room somehow, but the next thing I knew I was standing in my room to the left side of my bed, lucid but struggling not to wake up. I remember that behind me, where there is usually nothing, were some strange looking objects including a red triangle. Now this is the weirdest part. In an effort to stay asleep, I continued to rub my hands and thought, “hmm… maybe if I change something about the situation I can remain dreaming”. So I walked up to my door and said aloud, “There is a black room behind this door”. But when I opened the door there was no black room. There was the hallway to my brother’s room as there always is, but there was my brother standing there looking like a broken hologram. I’m not sure exactly how to explain this, but imagine as if there was some sort of futuristic holographic projection device displaying him, except it malfunctioned and he came out like some sort of pixely, flashing black silhouette. This kind of scared me, so I retreated back into my room. He started walking towards me like he would if he really was my brother, but it was insanely creepy because of how he looked. Then I started to loose my grip of the dream, things got really faded and I woke up.


      I remember thinking, "Fuck, I should have tried spinning with my eyes closed!" But this never would have worked because this was a morning dream and something like the 5th one I had. But either way, I'm very happy because this is the first time in 5 years that I have had a lucid dream.

    14. Train station/Cameras/School crimes/Forums-HI/Wonky elevator

      by , 07-23-2010 at 05:48 PM (Serenity's Silver Millennium)
      July 23, 2010

      5:00am
      Train station

      I'm at a train station. I use some keys to unlock some doors. On the other side, there is a man coming up the escalator. He's old, and false memory tells me his name is Joe, and he's falling into dementia.

      He walks past me and he says, "Oh, thank you for unlocking the door! My dog, Joe, ran through here, and I need to find him!"

      Even though it was supposed to be my job to kick him out, I decided not to.

      Cameras
      I was watching security cameras, surveying the festival grounds that is in town (it's actually over, now). I realize I have been missing things, and I feel guilty for not doing my job right.

      5a-7:30a
      WILD. Failed - I fell asleep

      7:30a
      School crimes

      Myself and another classmate got called out of class. We went across the hall to the washrooms, where there were more police. Someone had been murdered in there, and they think he's still in the building.

      I suddenly get this vision of two people sitting next to each other, engulfed in flames.

      We go back across the hall and out the windows everything is pitch dark, and the other classroom building has fire coming out of every window. I'm glad I'm over here, but my locker is in that building. I wonder how much stuff I kept in there?

      Forums/HI
      I was on the DV forums, in Naiya's WILD class. She was listing off a bunch of people who were successful last night. I was very disappointed that I wasn't one of them

      9:50am
      Wonky Elevator

      I was in a classroom again. Nita (old classmate) gave my water glass to someone else. I was rather upset by this, and walked out to get another glass of water before class started.

      I only needed to go down two floors, and I contemplated the stairs, but I was feeling really tired, so I decided to take the elevator. This girl asks me to hold the doors. I thought she was Nita, but it turned out to be a DC.

      I hit the button for 64 (we were on 68). She hits the button for 2. The elevator doesn't even stop on 64, and the girl is all like, "WTF?" She tries to choose another floor for me to get off, but it still doesn't work. Then, it feels like we're going sideways, rather than down! I think to myself, "Wow, this elevator is acting rather dream-like!"

      The girl distracted me from my brief lucidity by telling me we'll have to jump out of the doors once it reaches the main floor. We do so. I really don't need to be this far down though (and I've completely forgotten about the lucidity). I feel tense, because now my class has started, and I need to get back up. I have to try to jump back on the same way I jumped off...

      Dentist
      I needed to go to the dentist, but I was avoiding him, because he wanted to do another costly procedure on my teeth. My dentist was actually "being played" by my doctor.
