DREAMLUCIDSCENEDESCRIPTIONNONDREAM

I am on a road with 3 lanes, there is that grass thing in the centerline. I am in some place that is certainly not here. I seemed to perhaps be in the foothills of some mountain. I am just walkin, I don't know where to, but I am walking. I am actually not walking on the right side of the road, but in the middle near the centerline grass. I am not too worried about cars because they are few and far between. Now and then, I look behind me to see if there are any cars, in which case I would go all the way over to the right side of the road. I did this once because I saw a car coming. At one point I get to the top of a hill, and oddly enough, there seems to be snow or something...I don't really care if I get wet, and I slide down it on my tush. It was fun! I land it a small snowbank, and the car passes me on my left.

The scene skips, and I am now in this odd building...It's kinda like a waterhouseish building...like the indoor waterpark Wilderness in Wisconsin Dells. It had that cabin-y feel to it. I am just walking-but not alone. There is some sort of class field trip going on. I am just playing along that I am a student! We are walking up stairs, but this is the odd part. I don't see any stairs, at first, it's just a sharp incline. The material is like the inclines on playground equiptment . But, underneath this incline is stairs made out of the same material.... I think that there is this lady chaperone or something holding it for us or something... Once we're at the top of that part, it's just a straight shot to one of the pools. THIS time it's like one of those things you walk across on a playground, the same material . Where it's lightly suspended, and you can "hop" on it? This time the lady pulls the whole thing over so we don't have to walk on it... I see that in front of me is some other playground type material, but that is the "solid" kind. Then, slightly further out, the same material, but it has a top to it. I see a rather big pool, I think it was MOSTLY clear, but had a few other things in it that I didn't notice.

Ok...this is the weird part. I seem to turn into a guy . On that "solid" part of the pool, there is this guy that seems to THINK he has authority over this girl in the class, he confronts me- I think at the time she was she was daggling at the edge of that solid thing... I knew he didn't legitamatly have authority over her, though. Well, the class is now starting to get told what they're supposed to be doing. I realize that I could get into some trouble since I'm not really apart of the class. I tell this oldish guy teacher person that I have a dentist appointment, some way to get out of it. He still thinks that I'm apart of the class. He says how he knows I don't have a dentist appointment, but he still seemed hesitant. I didn't care. I was rushin out of there. It seemed to be as though I was rushing out from a different spot then I got in, though . It was to the right in front of some ways as to where I was before, in the pool. I am now under some playground equiptment, like the kind in play place McDonald's, I was in one of those tubes.

Then it hit me. This is a dream! SO, I started kinda floating up, back to the pool, through the tube thing. The old dude was moving his arms up, and kinda agreein that I was in fact dreaming, so there was no harm in stayin type of thing. Now I am under water, near the solid thing. I see the instructor dude-his head. It's kinda weird . Of course since I know I'm dreaming, I just stay under the water. There is no harm in that! I see the girl I was talking about earlier-she was in the same spot. This is where it got weird. It started off with, according to the teacher, that this girl had an "empty" nose-no snot. But, I have this tray thing with some of her crystalized snot on one part of it...It is pinkish...Then the instructor said that she must've, like, been cured from her disease . Then, I surface the water, and I start talkin with this girl. Remember, I am a dude, so I am straight as a dude...It really is quite confusing . The only thing I recall us talking about is her special mouthwash...She was doing it in the pool! She said how she doesn't like that "fake" mouthwash where the water is already in it...She was using the pool water with it . This seemed sorta normal in my dream, but when I woke up this sounded bizarre . She even spit it in the pool, which, again, seemed ok in the dream . At some point here, I kiss this girl (again, I am a dude ). Then she says I have pretty eyes. Here is where it seems to be that I realize that I am a GIRL-or I seem to be going along with it for the scenario...quite confusing. I complimented her eyes back. They were gray.

I am not sure where it is in here, but I have this VISION of these wilderness type buildings-again, the indoor waterparks from Wis Dells in this place. The teacher may have spurred this thought. Well, I see this dessert-ish landscape. Besides these buildings, there were a few big hills around the resorts-but besides that, flat nothingness. I see like 5 big wilderness type resorts. There is this main one. I didn't see that many people at all, but aparently, according to this thought, it's a booming business . I see this small road leading up to it. It was paved with a light asphalt. I think I even saw a camel! Well, in front of the building near the road, there is this man made stream. Aparently, it often gets dry because of the climate. But, during the night, which I saw in the vision, this stream turns into this awesome, high up, waterfountain!

Now, this part is weird too . I am now under the water, it seems to be against my will...Now that I am under the water, I am looking down at gray nothingness...But, I am looking at the pool's edge...This was more weird then scary. Then, I envisioned the feel of water again, and it worked. Then I go up, and see no one. It's all good, I tell myself to go underwater, and everything would be like it was. Now, everything IS back to normal! I see the girl on a side of the pool, so I go over to her, then we kiss once. I have my right arm around her, and her left arm around me when we turn around. IDK what it was, but something got our attention. Then we kissed twice more.

EDIT: I just rememered this part: Now, I see these pictures that were taken later in my head right after that . They were in a magazine or something. There were 3 pics of us. Once was when we were looking at that....thing.

We stop this because water stops spurting up, and we get out of the pool. The pool scenery seemed to have changed. IDK, there was more stuff in it. Now, the water was spurting up all along the edge of the pool. We were looking at it the closest to us in the middle. Aparently the water pressure is a bit too much to go in. I think I am now me now, because the dude decides to go into the water anyway . Well, he doesn't seem to care. He's tough! The lady teacher is now in with this tube, catching some of the water. There is this other kid outside of the way of the fountian, kinda small and fat. He looked 8 years old! She playing got him with some of the water in the tube.

ATTENTION: I have had dreams before where I'm a dude and I liked this girl, but IRL, I assure you I am perfectly straight . I have no idea why this gets transferred to my dreams so weirdly!

I think I had a LD last night, though now that I'm fully awake, I've started to wonder if I dreamt it all up and if it was even real at all! I've confused myself!

I fell asleep around midnight, repeating to myself, "I will remember my dreams. I will become aware in my dreams," over and over. I remember vaguely drifting away and not being able to focus on the mantra, then waking up feeling some anxiety about not being focused on it. I fell asleep and, at least right now, don't recall any dreams I had before my alarm went off. At 5:00 AM, my alarm went off and I got up, used the bathroom, and crawled back into bed, checking my other alarms for work. I remember thinking, "Ok, time to try this DILD method you read about last night."

I laid on my back, which is not a normal position for me to sleep in, closed my eyes, and tried to focus on the mantra again. This time, I started to feel as though my arms and hands were very heavy withing a minute or so, and almost as though all of my muscles were twitching at once. It was as if there was a strong current running through my body - I assume this was the onset of sleep paralysis. I recall feeling somewhat frightened, as the feeling was so powerful, and I felt myself waking up in fear. Just as quickly, I reminded myself that there wasn't anything to be afraid of, closed my eyes, and felt the same current begin again. This time, I could see dozens of colors twisting and forming behind my eyelids - the shapes reminded me of the old slime from Nickelodeon shows - glistening, fluid in movement, big and small blobs. I think my breathing sped up a little, and then it was as if the colors in front of my eyes "shattered" away. The darkness lifted as if I was watching a scene in a movie where the camera "opens its eye."

I looked down and could see my left arm and hand at my side (which is *not* where they were, I had my arms crossed on my chest), and I remember thinking "Ok, go ahead and try to lift it without waking yourself up." I lifted my arm off of the bed and watched as an image of my arm and hand stayed in the same position, but the dream arm raised up. I noticed that I had on a pair of old PJ pants that I haven't worn in a decade. The feeling of thinking to myself that I was lucid was so powerful and then I opened my eyes and woke up.

I was disappointed at first but then ecstatic that I had finally experienced a LD. Shame on me, I didn't write anything down, but repeated over to myself the pattern of the pants I had seen in the dream, and curled back up to go to sleep. I thought about trying again, but I felt very worn out and thought it would be best to sleep soundly the last couple hours.

Now...upon waking, I wonder if I didn't just dream all of this? Or if it really was a LD? It felt so very, very real - but at the same time I know my history of dreams, and I know that I am capable of "feeling" very powerful sensations in them without being lucid. I want to say it was a real LD, and I believe that it was a real LD, but everything always seems so easily confused and distorted upon fully waking!

June 24, 2010

Went to bed somewhere around 6:00 am, slept from about 1AM-3:30AM before.

Woke up in my bed, thought I was awake, for some reason chose not to get out of bed at this time. It was dark outside (which should have triggered something as it was just beginning to show brightness when I fell asleep) Tried to open my eyes, was a mess of shifting comic strips (???), faces, dark purple, static. Closed them.

Could move my lips a little, but not much. Got out of bed, as I was scared, went to mom's room, told her that something was wrong. She told me all would be ok, I laid down with her, still did not open eyes. I remember being able to see the entire room but remember thinking about my eyes. Not sure if the weird visuals were in here or not. Mom left the room strangely, I wondered why, something about "early for work" idk All of a sudden, remembered the "check" thing you do in dreams. Looked at the clock, it kept shifting randomly. My mom noticed my gaze and asked if I was alright. Looked at my reflection, the mirror (which was where the TV should be, oddly) looked like it had cuts or something in it, distorted my reflection.

REALIZED I WAS IN A DREAM

Thought this was cool, imagined Angelina Jolie, didn't work at first, but thought of her and she started to appear and a weird white outline of her (I think it was her) started to walk toward me. Mom walks in and disrupts the appearance, I run in her bathroom for some reason and start to imagine Hayden Panetierre. Didn't work too well, I think.

Next thing I know, I'm fighting Godzilla to retrieve something (don't remember, but I did tell my mom about needing this), and I rip apart his hide. I had a strange thought that I wanted to eat it, but I plopped it down with the rest of his body, brown blood I believe. Next thing I know, I'm awake.

Not sure if mom woke me up or not, she was just in here talking to me, but I think I woke up on my own. The beginning of the dream was very scary. I really can't describe what it looked like when I tried to open my eyes, but it was just maddening. Hard to talk until I walked in my mom's room. Got cool after I realized I was in a dream. I'm sure there is more detail about this, but this is all I can remember (it has been about 5-7 minutes since I woke up, I think). My first true lucid dream that I can remember vividly, an amazing experience.

Was on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) before I went to bed. Maybe the Lucid has something to do with all this. Was updating Rhythmbox before I closed the laptop lid (I believe it was on an 808 State song "E Talk", it reminded me of Soulwax's "E Talking") Parents were up when I was going to sleep, Dad was just leaving I believe. My dog was making that weird noise when she sleeps again. I tried at one point to get myself out of the dream, was definitely before Angelina started to show up. Did I know that this was a dream before the clock test?? Dunno. I remember my penis being hard when I went into my mom's room, I was worried that she'd say something about it.

Only remember bits and pieces of dreams from last night.

Invading alien invasion. On the way to help stop the invasion, I duplicate self and ransack enemies down a hallway. Friends end up back-stabbing me and give me up, along with very valuable information. Brass knuckles that had a leather strap, with a screwdriver, razor, a spike, and something else.

As promised.

Shadow Monster: Origins (WILD)

★★★★☆

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID







There's that familiar transition.

I open my eyes. Cold white light is streaming in from my bedroom window, as the thin brown curtains fail to do their job. Lifting myself out of bed, I notice something odd on the ceiling. The shadows on the dirty eggshell-colored drywall. . . They're moving! At that revelation, the shadows--an Aztec-esque shaman and a blocky curled snaked--broke themselves off from the wall, joined together into one formless mass, and shot out into the hallway.

Weird.

Making my way through the house, toward the front door, I wonder what that was all about. Closing my hand around the gold painted doorknob, I open the large metal door before me, revealing my sun-soaked court. But something is off with the lighting. Everything seems. . . lifeless. It's as if all warmth had left my neighborhood long ago. I didn't know what to make of it.

Lifting myself off the ground, I fly to the center of my court, contemplating what I want to accomplish. With no goals lined up, I figure I'll just try to crash someone's dream world. That's when I hear it. A visceral scream tears through my court, originating from a neighbor's house across the ways. Turning my head, I look just in time to see the woman who had screamed smash against her front window. As she drops out of sight, I know behind that blood drenched glass lurks the Monster from before.

Reaching out with my TK, I try to pull it from the house, but I can't get a lock. Yet, despite my failure, the Shadow Monster doesn't take long to exit the house of its own accord. Smoothly flowing through the air above me, it pay me no mind as it makes its way back toward my residence. Like hell I'm letting that slide. Let's see how this thing likes a little bit of pure energy blasted through its core.

Taking a stance, I position my hands by my side, preparing to let loose a Kamehameha Wave. Not wanting to tip it off, I say the chant internally, feeling the charge building between my hands. Unfortunately, when I go to release it all in a throat wrenching shout, nothing happens. The Shadow Monster stops dead in its tracks, and speedily reverses direction, darting straight at me. Fully enveloping me in darkness, I realize there's nothing I can do to this. . . thing. Panic washes over me, but before everything fades to black I let loose a piercing cry for assistance that echoes not just through my city, but around the world and, I can't help but think, beyond.

No one came to my aid.

Eggs...yellow, and another one bloody
Aircraft with numbers on the door, (1 to 4)
Everything will happen before 4,

Chaos on Earth, Earthquake, stars, warm, breeze...

Possible vision....

i'm only going to tell lucid dreams or near lucid happenings.

Dream:

It is night. There are three men I have romantic connections with sleeping in separate rooms surrounding an apex, possibly a fountain. I enter the room of one, the best looking of the three, who is beautiful.

I know that he has somehow betrayed me. Not with another person, but in some act or intent. I also know that the less attractive man is the better one for me, but for some reason I am in the room of the one I cannot trust. He is sleeping in the position that my own bed is in, pressed into the right corner of my room and against the wall. A desk is right next to it, just like a desk is right next to my own bed in my room.

I kiss him briefly. It occurs to me just then that I now understand how people can just give each other a peck on the lips before separating. I never before understood the purpose of such a short kiss when saying goodbye.

Notes:

I’m not sure whether that last thought was a moment of lucidity, but I think it was my thought and not the thought of my “dream self.” I know that there was more to the dream, but I can’t remember any of it. I have vague feelings of certain settings and actions being correct, but it’s always just beyond my memory / consciousness.

That this one scene is so clear makes me think that it was a moment as lucidity.

Random.

First i am walking down a street in chilliwack. some guy walks past me and gives me a slightly dirty look. He's wearing nice homie - G clothing and I am wearing a jacket covered in drywall mud. so I probably look like a weirdo.. whatever.

Then the dream flashes to where I'm walking on a trail in the woods. I hear someone walking from the shrubs. I look and see it's a bright blue ape. Like an abominable snowman. I just shrug and keep walking. I hear the guy behind me again but this time he's a regular looking guy. some woman goes up to me (asuka) and tells me we have to chase him to catch him. i go to chase him but I realize my shoes aren't for running.I find some other shoes magically and grab them i try to run while putting them on. They are a pair of those all star shoes and a bitch to put on. By the time i put them on. The man is far ahead and I can no longer chase him.

suddenly I find myself in a restaurant with my brother and his GF. his GF makes a comment about me not being able to eat the food or something.

Later I am in another building. I am supposed to pay with debit at some strange machine. But when I put my card into the machine. it rturns in to a VLT type game with interesting charp and clear graphics. there's some megaman looking guy in cool armor with some items above him. I select the wrong item and lose, but it says I have another chance. The woman at the counter says i must pay so urry up and finish the game. I somehow select the right item and on the screen i get more items and then it starts showering down coins on the screen. I guess i won.

Hand

some lucid imagery of looking at my hand

Bedroom.

I remember being on a bed with asuka and having a pillow fight. The window catches my eye. It's a weird color. I start freaking out and think it's the end of the world or something.

Gross.

I'm walking around in my basement while munching on soem white candle wax... It tastes like vanilla icing... but with candle wax in it. yuck. I hate it. I come to a room that asuka sometimes sleeps in and see it's a mess. there's big candles in no holders on the carpet burined right into the ground. All the wax is crusted right into the carpet. I think my landlord will freak at this site. I go to the bathroom to spit out the candle wazx that i'l still munching on. But i see the toilet is filled with... well poop and crusted with vomit. I dare to try and flush the toilet and clean up the mess but I wake up... Which i'm glad i Did!

An extremely short dream but a takeoff from what you folks call False Awakenings (I think) I refer to them as coming dead awake. Those are very real to me. This particular one wasn’t real.

I took two five minute naps and had this dream during the second nap.

Donna and I are out roller skating (we’ve done that once during our marriage - she’s quite adept at it, I’m not.) Well, as in real life, in the dream I’m still not. But we’re out roller skating with or daughter (dream daughter – we never had children). I had just fallen to the floor with Donna and our daughter laughing teasingly at me when Elizabeth (our daughter) hit the wall – not to hard, but with one of those cartoon type collisions and just sort of peeled of the wall and floated to ground.

End of dream.

I’m with my ex-wife in a house that I don’t recognize, but we obviously live there. She’s on her cell phone while I’m doing some work from the office. She’s talking in hushed tones as if to keep the conversation from me. I begin to realize that she’s talking about me and our impending divorce. I try my best to not let it affect me.

Our land phone rings and she answers it and says, “This is who? Mrs. BillyBob from the Dream View help desk” She then turns to me with a raised eyebrow and hands me the phone.

Dream ends.

Now the BillyBob thing obviously came from the Newbie Forum, as I had just read about him yesterday. Don’t know about that Mrs. thingy though. You married BillyBob by chance?

Another non-lucid, but similar to DJ1 – free falling (twice in as many nights)

I’m basically hang gliding behind a fighter jet (don’t ask me why), but rather than a hang-glider, I’m holding unto a large fishing net, but can somehow still control motion. Anywho, there are two possibilities to the fishing expedition, through a river tunnel and out to a lake on the other side. Or, if you miss the tunnel, you just fly over a small mountain and down a ravine to the same lake.

Never figured how you possibly miss the tunnel and wind up going over the mountain. If the fighter jet takes the tunnel and I don’t, then how do I get over the mountain, and why am I not ragged along through the tunnel? That’s why they’re dreams, eh?

Anyway, I miss the tunnel and suddenly I’m holding on for dear life as the jet materializes in front of me and is powering up to safely traverse the mountain. (What a rush). When the jet has cleared the mountain and is over the ravine, it throttles down to nothing and I overtake it at the same altitude while it pulls into a nose dive toward the lake (hence the free falling – only with a boost). Again, hanging on with white knuckles as we’re falling toward the lake, the jet levels out as do I (amazingly without ditching into the lake – still can’t see how a fishing net is aerodynamic).

I spot my catch. It’s a large (shark/dolphin size) fish with the head of a catfish, but teeth of a shark. I drop in on it, kind of like a cowboy roping a steer at the rodeo. This thing’s snapping and thrashing and has white glowing eyes – that freaks me out (kind of turning into a nightmare). I’ve got it half netted, and I’m trying to swim outta the way before it makes me a meal.

Two other guys appear in the lake, and don’t even take notice of the fish or my effort to escape. Totally apathetic – gosh I wanted to slap them.

Here’s where the dream ended.

I entered a classroom filled with students my age.. it looked like the 8th or 9th grade.. (8th the one i'm in) and so theres people I don't know and people I do like from last year. I noticed that I didn't see my best friend there.. but I saw some friends last year. There was still a BUNCH of people I don't know there.. I could see their face.. what their wearing.. (uniform.. durr) and how they did their hair.. so there was a teacher and she gave out worksheets and I sat a a computer desk.. there was some sitting at desks that sat 4-6 people and i saw my other best friend.. but she was sitting next to HERRR best friend and she isn't that much of my friend... sooooooo. I if I moved there I would be the third wheel .. sooo i sat next to an emo kids twin brother.. and he was all of our friends so i talked to him and stuff.. lol. But BEFORE that happened the teacher lady tought me how to bring up my credit report from the computer files...??? IHAVE NO IDEAA.. but yeah then I woke up.. I did take me a while to realize that this was a dreamm. haha. soo realistic..

I was sitting in my room, on a couch covered with a blue plastic-like material. I was chatting with a relative of mine, and there were a few markers lying around. This unknown relative uncapped a marker and made a small dot with it on the couch. It was either green or blue.

"I dare you to test out one of the markers, too," she said.

"Ok," I responded. I picked up a red marker and made a small dot on the couch. Suddenly, my relative leaped up.

"You wrote on the couch! I'm telling Dad!" She ran out of the room, still threatening to get me in trouble.

I didn't mind, considering she made a mark too and how much trouble could I get in for this offense, anyway? Then I thought of something. I licked my finger and rubbed it on the dot. It disappeared. That's right, I thought. This is Crayola washable marker.

I finished cleaning up the couch and grabbed this pair of silk shorts I've slept with ever since I was a baby. I wandered out of the room, not really sure where I was going. My bra was annoying me. I pulled it on more comfortably over and over again. My mom walked in in front of me.

"Is your bra annoying you? You should really get a new one. Why don't you go shopping tomorrow?" She said.

"Ok," I replied, happy that I wasn't in trouble for the marker dots. I wandered off again, still holding the shorts.

I sat down after a while, and talked to my little sister and her friend. I didn't know her friend, she was completely fictional. She was about about eleven years old, same as my sister. She had reddish hair that was pulled back in a low ponytail, freckles, and glasses. She and my sister started making fun of me for something, and I got really upset. I walked away into what was probably a dining room.

I sat down on the floor, looking down at the silk shorts. There were all sorts of words on it, like a book. This seemed completely normal to me, I actually "remembered" it being like that before. I was a bit bored, and I didn't know what to do, but then I remembered the shorts. I could read those to pass the time!

Looking at them more closely, I saw that the words formed a rather long table of contents. Apparently, the "book" included all sorts of topics, from merits to how to host a graduation party. Some of the sections had the word "new" next to them in big letters (presumably because they were newly added to the book). Here, I had a bit of a nagging feeling. Sure, my shorts had always had words on them , but I didn't remember parts of the table of contents. Last time I checked, half the stuff hadn't been on it. I dismissed it, though, deciding that I just hadn't paid enough attention.

I decided to start reading, but then I realized that these shorts only had the table of contents on them. I'd have to get another pair if I wanted the actual content of the book. This annoyed me, because I never remembered having another pair of shorts like that. Then I woke up.

Heroes:
Something about a milk spill. There are five people including lois from the superman comics working together. They seem to have different abilities. Three of them go to protest something, but, nothing else recalled.

Thoughts: I blame this on watching some smallville episodes last night Funny enough, one of these peoples' powers involved making vegetables or something along those lines Finally, a dream that doesn't involve with work Must say that it is a rather crazy dream and had a hard time with recalling the details
