Slept between 1:30am-6:00am. Not insomnia, this time! This was a work-induced sleepless night

Vague memories, but I recall there being some animal kingdom thing. Like me, in a room, with a bunch of animals that would normally tear my head off. But they didn't. And I didn't consider the remote possibility of dreaming Granted, I only had 4 hours of sleep, but I *have* been lucid in the first 90 minutes of sleep, before. So, this wouldn't have been a first

There's a stronger fragment of chasing after this girl who had a box in her arms. In the box, had a note in it. Whatever that was, she was running away with it, and I needed it.

She jumped into a swimming pool and emerged without the box. I jumped in (vaguely recall being able to breathe here and yet... still nothing, lol!) and retrieved the box. The note, inside, was still dry! I couldn't read what it said.

Interesting Encounters at Work:
I was working at TH. It seems that my shift just finished and I was ready to sign out and get my coat to leave. My wife's boss, K is also there. For some reason, I have a bad feeling and I notice that she is looking for something. She had some vertical trays which had some files in them spread out across the bench near the sheet. I decided to help her out and asked her what she is looking for. She looked at me with those eyes and asked why I'm still here. I guess I took it as a message of "I don't need the help", because, the dream skips and I'm walking through the store to the front door. It looked pretty similar to my actual work from what I recall. After exiting the store, I plan to make a run for my bus since I see it coming around a curve. The parking lot and location of the store is totally different. The atmosphere was pretty dark. After taking a right turn from the traffic light, one must go straight to reach a curve. After passing through the curve, one has the option of turning left to either find a parking spot or turning left and continuing straight to reach the drive-thru. They could also continue straight from the curve and take a right turn which would bring them to a bus stop but nothing more. I saw the bus near the curve behind two cars and sprinted around the store. I bent down under the white poles that are in place to prevent cars from coming into the drive-thru without ordering and continued running until I reached the other side and turned left to reach the stop. It would have been much easier to just walk to my right after exiting the store to get to the stop. I ended up getting to the stop just as the bus was able to get there. Along the way near the bus stop, I saw some cans of diet coke in a small box, similar to the one the 24 pack come in and I picked it up and brought it along. As I entered the bus, the driver was supposed to charge me $10 but when he used my card, he ended up charging $100 and swiping it through. I was pretty furious and felt that he did it on purpose because he added the last 0 just as he was about to swipe, since, he already had it at $10. I pointed out his mistake and he printed a receipt that showed that I paid only $0.72 which took me by surprise and I felt as if a trick was being played here.

Car:
I think I dreamt about a car that I was in and was told that I could pass the middle white line.

Thoughts: Well, I thought the first dream was pretty good. Was nice and long with a great atmosphere. As for the second one, it was just a fragment There was also a third which I couldn't remember anything about, but, I knew that it was long as well. Pretty nice to have a long dream in comparison to my previous couple of nights

Deadline:
There was something about a deadline of July 2. Today was the day, so, technically I am still within the deadline, however, I was told that I couldn't buy/return/RMA said object. I was asked "Why wait that long?".

Thoughts: Probably thinking about the new gpu I plan on getting

Cooking:
I was a chef at a restaurant. I think I was dressed all white and dicing vegetables on a white board. I was told by a friend who also works there that a spider at our other location has been suspended for 250 infractions. There was also a TV which might have had something on this. It seems that he was warned about getting close to the food but didn't listen.

Thoughts: Pretty funny dream, suspended spider

Note: I did not go lucid.

DJ Entry #1
I woke up wearing an outfit the likes of which a U.S. soldier would wear. I looked next to me to find that my best friend had the same get-up. Apparently we were soldiers who had to defend a cruise ship on its way to God knows where. My family was in the room, telling both of us goodbye, and good luck, but my friend's family wasn't there at all.
The next few minutes passed as a blur, and I can barely remember them, but we went through a crowded suburb that I didn't recognize one bit. Eventually we got to the cruise ship and got on. I noticed something about all the people on the ship. They were all either people I knew, or actors from famous movies. I barely talked to any of them, as my brain led the dream on in an orderly fashion. We sat around for a while, watching out for anything suspicious. Everything else happened in what felt like minutes. Someone pulled out a gun, and fired like crazy, but we stopped him. Someone had a killer dog attacking everyone on the ship, but we stopped it. And finally, someone was tossing people overboard. We were fighting with him until he grabs me, throws me overboard, and I fall to the depths of the ocean, not making a sound. Then I woke up.
Where I was: Cruise Ship and an un-recognized suburban neighborhood.
What I was doing: Protecting the cruise ship from anything that might do it and the people harm.
Who was there: My friends, my family, and for whatever reason, famous actors.

Didn't feel like WBTB since my dreams were too interesting. I managed to re-enter it multiple times, but my memory is still pretty vague...

1 through 4- Witchling
There are several strange kids who keep popping up; they all have Finnish accents and dress very unusually. While I am trying to solve the mystery of who they are, I realize that the true mystery is who I am. They tell me that I'm a witch, that I just haven't discovered how to use my powers yet. (I also seem to be Tamora, one of my characters... Or rather, she is me. Confusing...) We end up in a mystical stone shop with my school, and the owner is giving out seashells. Everyone else gets a really pretty shell, but I get one that's faded and dull.

As I sit down, I think to myself, "I wish I had a better shell." Before my eyes, my seashell is transformed into a beautiful rainbow-colored pearl. In the back of my mind, I (as Hazel) think to Tamora, "You idiot... Don't you know that that pearl belongs to someone else? You can't just steal things like that."

I hear the shopkeeper mutter, "What a selfish way for a witch to use magic."

A man who I had spoken to before walks up to me. "So, you figured it out. The secret to magic lies within thought." I am then told about a secret order of magic users in a different dimension. The man tells me that I must go there to fulfill my destiny.

*lapse in memory*

I have been transported to the other dimension. Unfortunately, things aren't quite what I expected. (They rarely are.) I am kidnapped my the crazy matron of an orphanage and become little more than a slave.

Poor little Ellie does something to piss off the matron, and she is forced into exile from the other kids. (I say "kids," but none of us are younger than 16 or 17.) She's not even allowed in the building; all she does is wander the grounds like a lost puppy.

Alex, the leader of anything rebellious that goes on within the orphanage, sneaks Ellie into one of the courtyards and hides her.

*lapse in memory*

Alex and I are walking around; he's stirring up trouble, as always. We get caught by one of the guards (who is on our side, so its not like he really cares.) He asks us to help him with extermination. He wants us to help him kill the squirrels and cockroaches that keep getting in through the roof. Bashing squirrels over the head isn't going to help my bloodlust any, I think, But it sure sounds like fun.((Note: Tamora is very morbid.)) To my disappointment, we're supposed to use poison. Ugh, how boring...

I sneak away, and while I am inside I hear strange noises. Sounds like Alex... Suddenly the power goes out. Great, what did he do this time? I find him on the roof, looking ecstatic. I can see immediately what he had done; Alex has the gift of absorbing electricity, and he used it to take all the power out of the school. (He had to plug himself into an outlet, though.)

I laugh. "You're going to be in HUGE trouble when the matron finds out about this."

"She can't stop me now! I have too much power!"

I hear school security pulling up. "I'm getting out of here. I refuse to take the blame for you... again."

First I remember some dream fragments in which I was going somewhere by car. I stashed a cell phone which I had borrowed from a friend in the tailboard which was full of rust coloured muddy water. Upon arrival at my summer house in nydala my dad approached me and opened the tailboard. I realised how stupid it was of me to put the cell in the muddy water and I feared that it had broken. My dad agreed about my stupidity.

After waking up by the alarm, I snoozed and fell asleep. Then I awoke again into sleep paralysis. While in that state I seemed to hear some noises at the outer door. It then felt as if I heard foot steps in my apartment. It was quite creepy and I tried really hard to turn to view the door but I couldn't. After 10-15 seconds if wore off and as expected, no one was in my apartment.

#937:
Date: July 1st, 2010
Length: 4 minutes

I'm on some kind of one-day trip to Britain, where I meet up with a friend for dinner. We end up in some kind of restaurant, with a couple of people he apparently knows. For some reason though, I leave the restaurant (with the intention of coming back in a bit), and head to some kind of airport. As I walk, I'm a bit confused as to this whole situation -- I vaguely recall arriving in the country, but seem to have absolute no plan as to how I'm going to get back home, or even where I'm going to sleep this night. I seem to have assumed that my friend would have planned everything out, and so I tell myself that I'll ask him what the plan is when I go back to the restaurant.

First, though, I decide to exchange some of my US dollars for pounds. I go to some sort of change bureau, when I find my grandmother working, for no apparent reason. I go up to her, give her some of my money, and in exchange, instead of money, she gives me large pieces of paper, signed and with some monetary value written on them. I'm slightly suspicious of these, but I take them anyway. Don't recall much after that.




Been thinking a bit about my dream signs lately. From my more recent dreams, a couple ideas have come up:

- Darkness/night seems to quite frequent, maybe 50-60% of my dreams involve it.
- Fear, pain, confusion, or some sort of danger are pretty frequent emotions too.
- I'm very rarely alone in a dream -- usually accompanied by family or friends.
- Water might also be a minor dream sign, it seems to show up occasionally.

Female carpenter (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to bed very late so I just got fragments

- Hammers.
- A lady.
- Something undone.
- Something about recall.
- In a well lit room with wooden tables.

I'm visiting our neighbours in the village, a place were I used to hang out often as a kid. They seem to be moving out of the house as the walls are empty and I see the father of the family, Jan, carrying big paintings around. I find the whole thing disturbing since they've always represented the safety and traditional feeling of "coming home" to the place I grew up in...

i just remember seeing a girl in my dream i actually haven't seen in about 7 or 8 years, so i knew i was dreaming but didn't do anything about it i just let the dream take it's course. and the only other thing i remember was being in this huge hotel, and the lobby was like a huge swimming pool.
i tried setting hourly alarms on my phone to make a beep every hour, hoping that if i heard it, it would remind me to go lucid. but it didn't work and i ended up sleeping for almost 12 hours.
i woke up after 1 alarm, and remembered to try not to move and just recall the dream, but i laid so stiff that i just fell back asleep and didn't write anything down! ugh. well hopefully better luck tonight.

Dream Lucid Comment

I was laying down in on my bed, in my room. It was very dark but I could still pick up the shadows and shapes etc. I thought I will try have a WILD so I went to grab my drink but I got disstracted by a weird shadow on the wall, it was in the shape of a lizard when I woke up.

RC + Drink then back to sleep for me!

I was back in my room, it was sort of sunny outside so I decided to get out of bed. I walk into the living room and see my friend texting someone on his phone. I turn around and look out the window behind me and see the sun but I also see the shadow of a person moving along the ground, I turn to my friend "WTF... Did you hear my mum get up?"
He did not reply so I waited to see the person, it was some Indian lady wearing a purple head thingy (Sorry, forgot the name) and in a white dress. I thought nothing of it, she just calmly walked around the cars and looked and smiled at me as she went out of my view "WTF.." I think to myself as I'm walking back to my room.
In my room I laid back down and was going to try WILD when the thing on my wall caught my eye again so I decide to investigate. I take a look at it, it has a brown furry body like a tiny gecko with a moles head "Awesome... never seen one of these before!" I poke my head out my door "COREY!!! Come check this out!"
I hear my brother come running "What? What?"
He looks at the thing on my wall and his mouth drops in awe "Wha... What is it?"
"I have no clue but he is mine now"

The scene changes

Now me and my brother are sitting down next to my bed observing the animal/insect, it is now like a bigger lady bug with 10cm high whiskers. "Must be a Wombat!" My brother says.
I look at him weirdly and look back at the thing, it is now just a bigger lady bug, everything is the same just overgrown. I tell my brother to get out but he refuses, we get into a big arguement about how come he should stay and observe. He finally gives up and puts hand down to get up... Squashing the coolest thing I've ever found! I begin to get teary as I wake up.

RC + Drink

I tried to WILD but failed + This dream has a long boring part which I will cut out.

I'm standing in my room, it is really dark again but this time I can barely see anything. I hear a noise... someone is in here with me and I begin to get scared. I see a few sparks when a green flare is lit and my whole room is illuminated, I see the man who had just lit it he turns to me and says "We're watching you, always have and always will" I get scared when there is a...

Scene Change

I'm standing near my dresser and it is fairly bright outside. I look down and see my ipod touch and decide to play some Megadeth. I select it but no sound comes out "Weird.. oh I didn't turn it up"
I click the button on the side multiply times when the music goes Extremely loud but I turn it down as quickly as it went up "Wtf... they don't go that loud.. I must be dreaming!" I look around and am excited about being lucid "Wait.. better RC!" I pinch my nose and breathe in. I look at my hands which both have 5 fingers so I decide to do the RC with my finger through my hand (I've never done it before and was wondering what it felt like) with a wriggle and a push my finger goes through. I moved my finger while through my hand and I could feel the bone so I just pulled it out and went outside. I started running screaming out how I'm going to fly but when I jump I fail, so I try to make someone appear "When I turn around CT will be standing there!" but I turn around to no CT. "Hmm.. I should ring her" I pull out my phone and it was already calling her.
"Hey where are you?"
"At school, where you should be!"
"What.. it has just started holidays.. tripping balls much?"
"Fuck you then" she hangs up.
"Well I'll be damned, shes not happy..."
I look around to see if she was hiding but when I turn around I'm getting chased by Bees "Bees... WTF!! Why are they chasing me?" I'm flailing my arms around in the air like a maniac as I head for the door.
Inside I go looking for my mum so the first place I check is her room and she is there "Mum, how can I find someone in a dream?"
She looks confused and says "Like everything, the net"
I look down at my hands to RC cause I could feel I was waking up when I got distracted thinking about how to find someone over the internet like my mum said. The I woke up.

Though this is actually my 4th time getting lucid it is my first post here. Before I went to bed that night I remembered something someone said on the forums. Try counting and repeating your dreaming while going to bed. So I did just that and around 60 I started thinking of random things and loosing count, thinking it was weird I started loosing track so easily I decided to open my eyes. When I opened them I was at my friend's house and automatically realized I was dreaming. I told him I had to go to the bathroom and started thinking what I should do while I was there. Since this thing was really interesting I decided I would go along with the dream. He had a ton of old news papers there and wanted to play a trick on someone with them. So I went looking through them and found one with a portrait of my whole family on there from when I was in 5th grade. And there was a home video in it of me at the fair. So I watched it and lost lucidity for a minute and I turned into the 5th grade version of myself and was at school with a friend, after that I was getting driven home at night and remembered I was dreaming. I wasn't too excited and I looked at the window and was amazed how clear and life like everything was. Then I tried to turn around in the seat to look out the window and everything got really really blurry. I tried to look back then the car disappeared form beneath me. Then for some reason I closed my eyes and when I opened them I was in my bed wide awake.
