Non-Lucid Dream, Wednesday, December 7, 2016:

I am with an older man on the streets of an early-industrial city (pre electricity, few motor vehicles). His name is John Whitstone. The atmosphere is generally dark and dirty; the city is packed tight. We end up down a wider alleyway, where we see some kind of mob meeting. Obviously criminal in nature. Then the authorities come and break it up, arresting John. They begin holding a mass trial in the alley, with a long line of prisoners. I've become a witness. "Be careful what you say..." whispers one of the other witnesses. First up is a young lady. I don't recall her crime, something to do with magic, but she testifies for her own innocence beautifully. I actually get a bit emotional over it all. But the guard knocks her down a pit, presumably to her death. "Real justice this is," I think to myself. Then John's "trial" begins. The judge refers to him by my (in dream) name, which I do not recall. Immediately, I object: "There must be a mistake, as I am (name here). This man is John Whitstone!" The judge seems barely interested, but stops to question me. "You are (name here)? And he is 'John Whitstone'?" He seems indignant that I would question the court. "YES, he is John Whitstone," I reply, "John Whitstone!"

I awake.

Spoiler for Notes:

I am not really sure what prompted this dream, if anything. But somehow it struck me more than a dream usually does.

Volcano
I'm at what is supposed to be the volcano Kawah Ijen with my friend Caro. We're doing the descent down into the crater right now. Along the way I spot what looks like a smartphone (HTC?) with a cracked screen. I wonder if it is still working. It is attached to a tall rock. Caro has a look. Yup, still functioning. From one moment to the next, the screen is suddenly a lot bigger. It's pretty much my size. I intent to take it with me once we go back off the volcano. I see/hear some other people approaching. Hopefully no one else tries to take it. Then I notice that there's a brand sign above it (Sony?). Ah, it's an ad. Ok, I'll leave it here then. We continue walking. I see more ads and related things. I'm appalled by how commercialised the volcano has become. It used to be so beautiful and natural.

We come to a room. Caro tells me that she is excited to see the blue fire. I tell her that you can only see the blue fire at night, so we won't see it. I look at my phone. It's just past midnight. Ah, guess we'll get to see it after all. There's a hole which is covered by a moving wooden floor, which is partially see through. I tell Caro that it didn't use to be here and that you could see the hole directly. I tell her to look at the red eye - which reminds me of a dragon's eye - below the floor. The blue fire will come from there. Every once in a while the moving floor moves away from the hole. There's a wooden bench close to it, on which Caro sits down. I tell her I wouldn't do it. At some point a dog approaches her - from the hole? - and starts licking her face. Gross.

We're moving around this room a bit. Eventually I think we end up watching a movie? There's some other people and I become sort of close with a girl. There's some mention of points that we can earn somehow and having to hide points.

Pick up
I'm at what's supposed to be my place. Irti has sent me a message, asking me to pick her up from somewhere north of the city. I tell her I would if I could, but I don't have a motorcycle right now, so it's kinda impossible. I consider asking the guard to borrow his. Nahh. I also consider using the bicycle to get up there. No that's rather pointless - and would take forever.

Eventually further along the dream it is my mom who was up there and needed help. She made it down though. She tells me it was just a few hundred metres. That doesn't sound right to me. A few hundred metres and then what?

Bed at 9pm last night - 3:40am

I watched the end of Hunger games again last night. Day ago I had a dream with element from that movie and I was hopong for another one. And I did!

I'm in a class, doing some tests. Lot's of papers in front of me. But someone interrupts and he takes us for some other more important activity.

I'm standing by a wall with some others and a teacher or a coach. I reach up and I can reach quite high. Surprised by this, I reach even higher and I can reach and higher again. (I was surprised and kinda wondering, how come). Almost touching the ceiling now. The coach was impressed so I tell him "I stretch". And he want's me to practice and then participate in some sporting event, because now I'm telling him I am good at archery and running too. I think it's gonna be a decathlon 0_0

He hands me a bow and arrow set. It's all black. (I remember admiring the arrows in Hunger games yesterday. All black with a narow silver band by the feathers).

I am in Fussen, Germany. Duplicates of Neuschwanstein Castle surround me. Why is my dreaming self so stupid and not realise how ridiculous it was. I then take plane trips all around the world. Eventually, I am loaded onto a rocket and lauched to a crowded space station. I feel I have special piority for room, but no body pays attention.

A vague dream about being bullied...
Oh, I have stopped the bizarre 'rituals'.
A 'voice' in my head says I have do certain things in waking life to have a lucid, and the results are a blank head when waking up. I did not listen to it, and my dreams are back.

I had one dream that was interrupted by my phone but I did get this other one.

I was w/ Mike & I was supposed to be going to my Grandma's house & showing Mike around because he had never been there but he'd heard stories about it. So we showed up & a man came out & told me that she didn't live there anymore which is true IRL. I just couldn't leave. I kept walking around it & trying to look inside & outside. I was desperately still looking for things to still be the same but it just wasn't of course. I spent a lot of time in this dream but in the end it just eventually dissolved.

I'm sure this was because my uncle just died & my aunt posted a memorial page for him w/ a bunch of pics. Hence, memory lane was a bi-product. Kind of bittersweet. Not to mention that I just talked to my grandmother for the first time in a million yrs because my uncle died. I didn't want to for personal reasons but I was raised better than that & her son just died & I knew it was the right thing to do. As a result it turned out to be better than I thought. Not ideal but I feel it was a weight lifted off my chest that I didn't even realize was there.

Had a dream of my Cat eating Mango and than sitting in a pot in the sink and washing it. I wanted to take a picture but when she saw the flash she got out of the pot.

I am traveling with my mother, my sister and her child, and possibly someone else to see Jon Anderson and Todmobile in concert. We arrive at this place that does not seem at all like any sort of proper concert hall. It seems more like a small entry way with windows behind us. We are right in front and are able to interact with the performers. Todmobile is playing some sort of impossible instrument. It’s rather difficult to describe. It has a spongy, fluid texture, and it moves downward like a spiral staircase. I think I remember playing it like you would a vibraphone, but it was huge and in constant motion. Colors changed on its surface, and I remember enjoying the sound it produced. Our cousins are also at this performance, as is my uncle. I know there was so much more to this dream, but that is all I can remember.

For the last two nights, I had been attempting to recreate the circumstances which enabled my initial “one that I’ve been waiting for” dream. So this involves taking NyQuil and Ibuprofen, and I also downed apple juice in hopes of greater vividness. It has not produced similar results. I know I’ve been dreaming, but they have in no way been nearly as profound or memorable as that first one. It seems to me a typical case of trying to reproduce something amazing that occurred without any effort or preconceptions. I’ve even been listening to the same album I did that first night. But I admit, this has been a rather foolish endeavor. The feelings and symbols I experienced in that first dream I cannot hope to experience again by means of forcing it to happen. It happened somewhat naturally, it seems. I can only wait for the next time.

I was in a classroom with lots of teenagers they were walking about and had music on. I had my eyes everywhere checking they were not up to anything. Some were at desks. One had money that I was collecting. I was too worried , out of proportion to what was going on. I was stressed for no reason.

Dream seems to be telling me to calm down

Had a lucid dream this morning. Did a mindfulness meditation before hand to keep me present. I do think the trick to lucid dreaming is keeping me outside my head and into the present moment.

My dreams last night didn't make a ton of sense, and then I woke up early because I'm stressed about exams starting tomorrow, and now I'm eating mac and cheese for breakfast and there's not a damn thing anybody can do to stop me.

Dream:
OK I got nothin'. Hopefully I'll remember something later but it kinda feels like my brain's already thrown out what little I had.

That said, interesting notion that I need to figure out. I woke up at 7AM because finals are scary, but I didn't start studying, which is the only thing that would make "waking up early" make sense as a decision (right?). It's like there're two parts of my mind: the "oh heck I'd better wake up early" part and the "oh heck I'd better study for exams" part, and they aren't quite on the same page.

In the same way, there seems to be an "oh heck time to dream" part of my mind and an "oh heck I sure would like to have a lucid dream" part that aren't quite on the same page either. And I gotta wonder what the deal is with that.

Fell asleep and had some weird dreams.

Dreammmmmm
OK so one was that this professor I liked was being a little too friendly and it was weird and I don't remember that much FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

There was also something about me fighting a dragon and everyone being like YEAH GOOD JOB

and then something else about women and men turning into giants... but women in giant form were stronger than men in giant form.

Today's dreamsign is: people acting out of character hurghh

This is a fragment of a dream last night which felt like it lasted only a few minutes but it's worth noting down I think.

I was with a friend (I'll refer to him as Jace) and we had a job assigned to us. For that reason, we were standing at a body of water and went in and swam down to the bottom (wasn't that deep, maybe 4-5 meters or so). At the bottom, Jace had to hold what I think were torches and I had to light them by using matches. While doing this, it occurred to me that fire is a weird thing underwater. I then remarked this to Jace, exclaiming it's really weird to have fire when submerged in water. Jace answered this along the lines of "Yeah, I guess that's kinda unusual, huh?". I still thought it was incredibly weird but I went on anyway, not really questioning what was going on and woke up soon after.

Damn dream characters never seem to lend a hand every now and then to get lucid. Oh well.

I am in the airport. I’m waiting in a long line of people for getting in the plane. I’m waiting when suddenly everybody disappears and the scene changes from airport to the big garage. There is only some plate on the floor. I realize it’s a dream, I run and jump on the table and sit by telling myself it’s a dream. I’m jump off the table and run to the door and I look at my reflection(it was so realistic that I could even see the detail of the garage too in the reflection). I run back and I say to myself to not forget the dream so repeat all the action you’re making in your head. I say to myself to remember my question but I can’t. I decide to go watch what the person is doing, so I open the door, I run and get in the house, I hear the TV on and the person is laying on the bed watching the TV. I kind of get doubt for the moment because I don’t if this is really a dream or reality…

Dinner
I'm having dinner with four friends: Jim, Janet, Fi and Rei. We're sitting at a proper restaurant table. Rei decides to leave. We're somewhere up in the northern part of the city. There's a banner on one of the walls, saying we'll get a student discount if we're using student health insurance from a certain healthcare insurance company, which I happen to have. Somehow the waitress messes it up a bit and gives us a bill without the discount. We have her correct it. I think it's Fi who says something about the waitress being stupid, but not to her face.

New job
I've just landed a new job and this is my second day. I'm late by about 1,5 hour. The female boss is not too pleased with me. I think I was late because I had to pick up my passport and they made me wait, though I'm not certain of this. I have no clue what to do on this job. No one has given me anything to do, so I'm just trying to fill time. At one point I'm watching a movie. There's a spiderlike man creature that my colleagues were trying to defeat earlier. I decide to look up info on natural enemies, so it can help us to defeat the creature. My phone is not cooperating very much. At first I Google in English, with no results. I then try to search in Dutch.

Job
I'm with my friend Tim. He mentions that he's spotted a job vacancy for me. I ask him about it, also asking if he thinks I'm qualified enough for it. I don't remember his answer to that. One of the things he does mention is that he can't apply because he will be in India. Heh, India?

Hadn't dreamed in awhile after I started dating my now current bf of 6 months. Lately, however I had a dream I had a baby and I was TERRIFIED. And last night I haf this dream that my ex and I were somehow connected not like soul mates or anything it was more like a really weird psychic connection.

1. Me and A had just walked into my room. She closed the door behind me and we just started talking. Oddly enough, my light was on for once, which never happens in dreams. "Cory play with my hair" she told me. "Uh sure?" I said with a confused look on my face and a smirk. "Get up here" I told her. I was sitting on the bed and for some reason she was on the floor doing something I can't remember. She got on the bed with me and laid against my chest. I noticed that there was nothing sexual about this, I was just enjoying the moment and her laughs.
