Power Flash (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

In last night's dream, I was preparing for some test or other similar to the SAT's. Everything was copacetic, and I was just going to bed, when the power flashed. We have all the computers backed up to some sort of battery to prevent them from shutting down, so I didn't worry about it. I went to bed and the scene skipped ahead to the next morning. My mom was looking at the computer, which had reverted to the old-fashioned monitor-and-tower setup. There was a message on the screen to the effect of, "The computer powered down unexpectedly." Her first thought was a virus, but when we explained the flash, and that it must have drained the battery, she felt better. At any rate, all our test papers were in order, and we were just about to go off to school to take the test when the dream ended.

Crazy english teacher (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had two very long, very interesting, very vivid dreams last night. In the first one, my crazy English teacher decided to pile even more work on us, on top of the friggin' huge project she had already given us. This project, however, was a lot more interesting. It seemed that our job was to create an obstacle course, and use it to reach the other side of a blank room, which looked like a 2-D video game. A requirement of the course was that it had to have a jump, and that four people would be working simultaneously on one screen. We etched out our course and hopped in a little car thing, and drove through the course, jumping and dodging other people's paths. We finally hit our bit at the very end, which was a long slope containing a line directly above it, so as to close it off, tunnel-style. It's kinda hard to describe, but at the point of drop-off, we didn't leave enough room, and the car crashed, sending us flying. We bounced around for a bit, and by some miracle, landed right at the spot we needed to land to continue. There was a door, and we went through it. At this point, the point of view shifted from third-person, 2-D to first-person, 3-D. We were in a bedroom. The others were messing around, but I knew what had to be done. I took a small wad of gum, and stuck it to the covers of the bed, which is what the teacher had assigned us to do. The others followed suit, and it was through this that we avoided Armageddon or some such nonsense. Yeah, this was one freaky little dream, but it was exceptionally vivid and rather lengthy.

Previews and drugs (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

In the other dream of the night, I was waiting outside my Grandmother's house, which had apparently become a school. It was raining out, and I was under a little roof thing that stretched over a pathway, staying warm and dry. I wasn't really doing anything, when a couple of kids came up, one of which I knew from real life. He was telling this third person who had just appeared about how salvia is apparently a lot like LSD, and how it lasts a really long time. He went on to say something like, "All the stars in my house are still all lit up like fireworks," or some other such nonsense. I should say now that I've never taken drugs before, and nor shall I ever. At any rate, they moved on, and I went back to roaming back and forth underneath my shelter. As I came near the end of the line on one side, I noticed a bunch of TV's had been mounted on the upper inside wall of the roof, similar to how amusement parks place their picture monitors. There were a bunch of previews for a whole bunch of movies, a lot of them having to do with comets, asteroids, and the end of the world. There was one, however, that looked all too cute: Pikmin, the Movie. I pressed a button, and the screen began playing the little segment. The story was told from the viewpoint of a spotty bulborb, one of the enemies the pikmin tend to go after. It showed the bulborb running about, dodging pikmin, and satisfying its insatiable appatite. At one point, it was carrying a little bulborb in its mouth, when the large bulborb's stomach growled, and it ate the little one in a flash. I decided then that the movie was too cute to miss, and vowed to see it when it hit theatres. When the preview ended, my 10th grade english teacher (who was always really cool), stepped out onto the porch for a smoke, which was very unlike him. It was shortly after this that my dream ended.

Low-level lucid (MILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Welll, this was a fun dream. Plus, I'm pretty sure I was lucid, if even just faintly. I was walking around downtown with my father when it suddenly hit me that I was dreaming. Being that I was downtown, it immediately occured to me to seek out the supermarket I'd been to in one of my previous dreams. I break out into a run in search of this place, which I suddenly know where it is. I arrive, only to find that everyone is out for lunch. It had been my intention to go into the store and sample all kinds of stuff, but that didn't happen. Instead, the employees came back and immediately put me to work, causing me to lose lucidity. I remember scooping up some stuff and preparing to move it to the attic. My dream ended shortly after that. This is progress. Also, this lucid is right about on time, too. So far, they're spaced at about 2 weeks apart, which is kinda nice. I should do more autosuggestion and reality checking throughout the day, as well as the lucid dream exercise. Yay! I'm so happy I had my third lucid! More shall come in due time, and I look forward to their arrival.

RC fragment (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Along with my lucid dream, this one was very interesting. I was in my home, telling my friends about reality checking by looking at your hands. *facepalm*

On the high seas (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Side note: I just found out I got a 1940 on the SAT's. It was my first time taking the test, and I did absolutely no studying for it.
Okay, back on topic, I got to bed around 11:15, which wasn't bad. I had two very clear dreams, which was rather nice. In the first dream, I'm a pirate on the high seas. I have a cannon to battle vile sea monsters with, and a shabby pirate crew. We sail the ocean and prey on the weak, sinking all who oppose us. It was really quite fun. The most interesting thing was that the entire crew was made up of DV members, I believe. This also isn't my first pirate dream. I guess I like pirates...

Russian debate (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

In the second dream, my sister is looking to debate someone on DV, preferably a Russian. I have no idea why, or to what point and purpose, but the dream itself was extraordinarily clear. The text and avatars of all the members (about 7 or so) was very clear and perfectly legible. The dream itself didn't last long, but it was very vivid and lifelike.

Hylophoner and Luau fragment (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Got to bed sooner, but still not great. Recall did, however, improve from the other nights, if even just faintly. I was outdoors at a hawaiian pig luau, with the hylophoner from Futurama. I remember the pig smelled and tasted divine, and that I was really great at playing the hylophoner. Not much, not terribly exciting...

Hunting for gophers (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Ahh...the dry spell is officially over. I had a four-dream night, and at least three of those dreams were quite vivid. In the first dream, I'm standing in my garden, which is now pockmarked with gopher holes. Some of them are just stopping by, but some of them are long-term pests. I go on a hunt for the long-term gophers and leave the passers-by be. To get the gophers, it's very much like a game of whack-a-mole in that they pop up every so often, and I have to grab them before they burrow again. It was actually a lot of fun.

Cujo Bambi (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

In the second dream, I'm in my grandparent's yard, doing nothing of particular interest. It seems like we're about to go hunting for deer, which is odd because I don't hunt, or eat deer. At any rate, we're standing in our yard, when this family of deer come traipsing by. A couple of them have antlers. My parents are oblivious to this, and one of the smaller deer comes up to me. I reach out to it, and pet it. The deer seems to like this. The deer is my friend now. I take the deer inside, but then the deer meets the dogs, and it starts flipping out. It goes all foamy at the mouth and starts snarling. This was no ordinary Bambi deer - this was Cujo deer, and it was baaaad. My parents raised the shotgun, and the dream ended.

Help on Dream Views (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

The third dream was a bit fuzzier than the others; more of a fragment, really. I'm on the computer, responding to a post requesting help of some sort. I remember that there were a handful of evenly-spaced lines with short amounts of text in each line. I can't remember what the post was about, however.

Real-life video games (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This dream was a bit odd. I was in some sort of odd place that was not unlike a mini-golf course I remember from a different dream. I think the main gist of it was that it was a pokemon spinoff game. It was very unusual, but the games were fun and quite challenging. It's hard to describe, but it was a very cool dream. Later, it skipped to someone bulldozing great swaths of land for a golf course.

Hooray! The dry spell is over! I remember three dreams last night, and two of them were incredibly vivid. In my first dream, I don't remember too much, but I know that I was driving down the highway without headlights at night. I think I could see very faintly, but not well. It was only when I was almost home that I remembered the headlights and flicked them on.

Talking to fish (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

In the second dream of the night, I'm transferring beta fish and goldfish to new bowls from the store bags. As I move them, I talk to them, for whatever reason. It was kinda fun, though. At any rate, I think I was moving the fish because I had some sort of new custommade product or something, and the fish were a part of it. The main part of the dream is a bit fuzzy, but the bit with the fish is crystal-clear.

I don't know where I'm a gonna go when the volcano blows (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was a fun little dream. I'm looking at maps of the world, trying to find islands known for their violent volcanic eruptions. I come across a place called the "Wichita Belt," and whenever I say "Wichita," I get ominous sound effects in the background. I was talking to a friend about all of this, and he informed me that the Wichita Belt (cue ominous sound) was the most volcanically-active region in the world. He cautioned that it was an extremely dangerous place. Well, this is exactly what I'd been looking for. The scene skipped ahead to me standing on a particular island at night. I was getting ready to watch a Jeff Dunham performance in person, along with the natives of the island. That's when a lava flow began creeping down the hill. This bright-red, viscous mass of lava was headed straight for us, but was creeping relatively slowly. Dunham toppled a steel block in front of the magma's path, effectively buying us a bit of time before we all had to run for our lives. He continued on with his show, and instructed Walter to "guard the block." It was a fun dream, and survive a lava flow is actually one of my lucid tasks. Had I been lucid, that would've been awesome!

Still suffering from poor dream recall, but I had two fragments. Hopefully, with the apporaching weekend I'll be able to catch up on sleep and remember more. In my first fragment, I'm reshaping districts to help the Democrats stay in office. Once again, I blame my U.S. Government class.

The Lost Symbol fragment (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

In my second fragment, I'm running through a department store, I think. I was trying to get the box from Dan Brown's book so I could insert the ring and turn it 33 degrees, etc. to get the hinges to pop open and reveal the next clue. Just finished this book, so I'm not terribly surprised.

Tedious bill debate fragment (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I seem to be in a bit of a dream recall dry spell. Hmm...at any rate, I had at least one dream last night, and a very dim memory of another, but I recall nothing of it. In the dream I do remember, I've just submitted a bill to the legislature somewhere. In the bill, I believe I was trying to ban the use of the word "glucose" for some reason. I blame my government class.

Okay, from here on out, I'm gonna just assume that all my dreams are non-lucid unless otherwise specified.

Abstract DV debate (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Went to bed too late (yet again), so I had one dream. Since I've been reading Dan Brown's new book, I think this dream was influenced by it. I was on the DV forums, in the off-topic secion, most likely the R/S forum. I was debating the power of the human mind, and whether or not thoughts had mass, which I argued they did. This caught my opponent in the debate (Slash?) completely off-guard. There was some more back-and-forth banter, but the dream ultimately ended in some sort of enlightening revelation. I remember little of it, but the phrase, "Movement is power" seems to be ringing a bell. So yeah, freaky dream...

Chaos and enlightenment (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Went to bed much too late last night (again). Did LD mantra, etc. I remember one dream, somewhat faintly. I recall that there was absolute anarchy and chaos, and nothing was making sense. However, there was also a sense of enlightenment and learning, a coming of great knowledge. It was a pretty abstract dream, all in all. I've been reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown, which may account for this dream.

Highway laws of Japan (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had two dreams in total last night, no lucids (partly because I went to bed much too late). I did have, however, two very detailed dreams. In the first one, I'm watching a video explaining how the Japanese highway system works. Apparently, there was a large, wide lane every few thousand feet or so designed so that very large vehicles could get around the smaller, slower traffic. When a person apporaches one of these "wide zones," they are to pull over immediately so that anything behind them can pass. The video went on further to explain that a vehicle had to be approved my some ministry of something before it could use the wide zones.

Rediculous, time-stopping nonsense (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This dream was exceptionally strange. Again, I was observing events from the 3rd person point of view. Someone (Maverick?) had slept around with this farmer's daugher in Texas somewhere. When the dude found out, he was pissed. He gathered up all his Texas, redneck, gun-toting buddies for a "shootout" against the accused. Some suggested torturing the guy first by shooting his hands and legs, then slowly working toward the vital organs. Thinking fast, the guy slipped into some sort of conga party. He jumped to the front of the line. The party was being held indoors, and the conga-ers were passing through a doorway. The guy, now apparently having time-stopping capabilities, threw up some sort of time barrier that slowed anyone who passed through it to an incredibly slow speed. It was not slow enough, however. As the accused made his escape, one person from the conga line saw him take the elevator down and out the back exit. By the time anything was done about it, however, the man was already gone.

Messin' around beneath the chemistry lab (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was a particularly fun dream. I was sitting in my high school chemistry lab, waiting for the teacher to return with the lesson plan. He came up empty-handed, and instead sent myself and my sister to retrieve the plans for him. The catch was that the lesson plans were at the end of a secret labyrinth of hidden passageways and trap doors. He told us to lean on the bookcase in the corner of the room, and to my surprise, it swung freely. We were now on the other side of the bookcase, which was a small room containing a door. All in all, it was really more of a puzzle zone than a labyrinth. The door was locked, and we were required to find the key before continuing. This was easily accomplished, and we disappeared through the door. We were greeted by a hallway containing numerous doors, many of them tricks (i.e. brick walls with a handle that may or may not open up). I opened one door and stepped inside, only to fall down this great, metal slide. To either side of me were stairs, which my sister had chosen to take, instead. The stairs she had chosen, however, ultimately ended in a slide. We were both careening down this enormous metal slide, headed for the bottom, which was a hard-wood floor. It looked similar to a theater. Feeling quite safe, we adjusted ourselves to pick up speed. At the end, we slid across the floor and right into the far wall. There was a curtain just to the right, so we pulled a string and the curtain opened to reveal a bubble blower. There was nothing else, no lesson plans or anything, so we scooped up the bubble blower and headed back from whence we came. The dream ended with my sister blowing bubbles.

SAT panic (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

In my dream, I had just taken the SAT's, along with some of my classmates. However, rather than filling in the bubbles for our math, we used notebook paper and a pencil to show our work and record our answers. For whatever reason, the SAT people didn't want to collect our answers immediately. Instead, we were allowed to collaborate and figure the answers out as a group. Some thought it was cheating, and some were just happy to find their answers at all. The dream ended shortly after I figured out what answers went to what section.

Second Lucid!! (MILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had dreams galore last night! It was my day to sleep in, but it was still very impressive. Among these dreams was my second lucid. I was sitting in the moonlight in some room somewhere, when it suddenly hits me that I'm dreaming. I become very happy, but I am able to contain it much better this time. Instead of immediately waking up, I try spinning, which was very unusual. My entire vision went black, and I kept reminding myself that I was dreaming. While I was spinning, I also saw advertisements. When I stopped spinning, I was still lucid, but I believe I had a birds-eye view of some forest in Italy, with a bear romping around. I felt the dream fade again, so I spun, which led back to the blackness and the ads. This caused a false awakening, which immediately caused a real awakening.

He's a Pirate (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Among my many dreams of the night was one in which I was a pirate on a pirate ship. I was among a portion of the crew that was mutineered agaist my the rest of the crew. We knew that the mutiny was coming, and what the others planned to do to us, so we made preparations. We knew from rope fragments left behind that the other pirates wanted to tie us to the hand railings and dispose of us later. Therefore, while no one was watching, we loosened all the bolts holding the railing down. But then came the mutineers, who tied us up as expected. However, they went so far as to throw towels over our heads so we could not see. Just as they reached me, I woke up.

Santa Claus (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I also had a dream about Santa Claus, during his summer break. He was big and fat, and very jolly. He was telling me how he had to pick up his mother and sister. He also said that he should build a second turbo-sleigh, so that his family could fly themselves around. Meanwhile, a friend of mine was just putting the finishing touches on a book of his. He proudly waltzed into the library, run by Mrs. Claus. She looked the book over and remarked on its expert craftsmanship. She said she would add it to the library.

4.0 Fragment (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I also had a fragment in which I received mini-pins for my 4.0 achievements, something I had no prior knowledge about. By the time they were all attatched, my letter was completely covered by pins. I also remember rearranging the pins on my gold letter. I believe there was also something about a watch with my school mascot, and class rings, too. As far as fragments go, it was fairly detailed.

Grandpa (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

My grandfather passed away a few months ago, so I'm not too surprised by this dream. My family and I were going around and naming different plots of land after people past. We finally got to "Grandpa Island." It should be noted that this very plot of land has been visited before in previous dreams, and that I've never seen this area before in reality. The island was a rectangle, with the top third dry and grass-covered, while the rest was reedy and swampy. Apparently, this is where my Grandpa liked to sit and meditate. From there, however, the dream got really strange. All of a sudden, I was living out an autobiography of my Grandpa. I hoisted this enormous tree out of the ground using only brute strength. I then began to bash it repeatedly against a cliff in an effort to break it in half, but the narrator warned against it, so I stopped, for fear of flying shrapnel. There were power lines overhead, so I couldn't lift the tree, but I had to find some way to dispose of it. I was reluctant to throw it over the edge of the cliff and into the sea. So, I sought out other means of disposal. There was a playground, a soccer field, and all kinds of other public places, but none would do. Just as I found a place to dump the tree, I woke up.

Feminism on DV (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

The second dream of the night wasn't terribly vivid or exciting. I was on the DV forums, commenting on a thread. The thread title was something to the effect of, "Help for females only." I remember being surprised that such a thread even existed, and posted a comment to that effect. I awoke shortly afterwards.
