    1. 2016-08-23 some very vivids: campfire song, racquetball, comp talk, flying, path/puzzle, car stolen

      by , 08-23-2016 at 08:07 AM
      + campfire song, singing with kids on top of a playground swing at night outside

      + raquetball playing with wife, I'm serving and quickly building up points, loud couple comes to play in court next door and we interact

      + "woken" by kid in house of other people, walk around neighborhood, wave to L (CH neighbors across street) family through windows, see delapidated exposed partial construction, fallen and dried/soaked by the weather exposed beams; talking about a particular computer instruction set is direct or microcoded, several colleagues up close all talking over each other (WD for sure, JD around the corner?)

      + flying: heading home to CH but flying going so well I decided to head down the hill but then apply jet engine out of my butt to climb back up and it works, get to CH and want to drop off my heavy backpack and keep on flying, Ricky Gervais is getting in my way on the front steps I put down my stuff under a bush

      + walking the puzzle/path with kids outdoors scary dark places below but I eventually go inside and follow clues and climb up the square uneven "staircases" choosing the inner path twice and emerge at the top and see a priest in his gold vestment robes and then get confirmation from a team of young people that this is the finish, they congratulate me; indoors in some gym a see a foreign team lead by a man in his 50's / 60's I see they're from America and I go to him to shake his hand then I "remember" [FALSE] him and we talk a bit

      BTS

      + (f) LOTR dream of some sort?

      + driving car around SH ave near V (old grocery store) see big semi truck cab I get in front go through parking lot of grocery store to get to gas station across the way station lot on hill try to park to get the car washed, there are vehicles moving around in the way I get out to find a spot and my car is gone, it's been stolen, spend a long time accusing the staff of the station of running a racket overflow parking outside I scream at them "The last time this happened the car was returned after I threatened suing you, why isn't the car returned this time?" I'm planning to threaten them to expose their criminal activities, I plan to set up surveillance. Walking through shop I see tons of things on shelves, a little mini grocery store including motor oil (I pick up one gray bottle and carry it with me then I see that there is no round cap on it), I see blue packages of zip-loc baggies also on the shelves. Walking towards the opposite side away from overflow parking to check to see if I can see my car there I'm choosing slippers to put on because my feet are bare, some guy says "I'd offer you mine but I have a <xyz> [meaning walks with a severe limp and the slippers are not evenly worn" I choose a pair of slippers and continue on down to the sidewalk out the side and see large metal industrial tray tables filled with meat dishes, I see/help an elderly woman back up a step? Driver around neighborhood looking for car, wife and guy in car I think it's pointless I'll never find the car it's probably already in a city far away, the guy says we should look very carefully for it all around town. I'm glancing at all the cars along the side of the road and quickly trying to identify my make and model (FF). I'm trying to remember the exact year of the car and tell it to the guy, I'm calculating backwards from when I was in university and arrive at it's a 1979 model.

    2. #197: Birds / Flood / India

      by , 08-23-2016 at 03:23 AM
      Birds
      I'm at my aunt's house together with my cousin. She has quite a collection of animals/pets. The only ones I can really recall are two parakeet looking birds in a white cage. One of them is yellow, the other blue/green. I take them out of their cage. The window is a little bit open, which concerns me, but since their wings have been clipped, they can't fly too far. I think there may have also been a ceiling fan which was turned on. The birds fly around a bit and eventually one of them does go out of the window and sits on the outside part of the window sill. I can't reach him, because the window is only opened at the top. Luckily the bird comes flying back in. There's also a point where the yellow bird just drops from high almost all the way to the ground. I catch it before it hits the ground. A bit later that bird starts having a nosebleed and my cousin asks me what I did. We both become worried. I tell her exactly what happened. Hmm, I guess this is what it's like for a human to be caught by a Transformer mid fall: too rough.

      Flood
      I'm at my mom's house. There's a flood on the balcony. At first it's ok, but eventually it does manage to enter the house through the closed balcony door. I ask my little brother and some other guy (my dormmate?) who is present in the house to help me out. I want to start scooping the water away with buckets. My plan is not to scoop here inside, but to scoop the water away from the balcony, so that it won't go inside anymore. It takes a while to convince the others to get into action. I myself need to get dressed first, as I think I just showered. I was still wearing a towel. By the time we spring into action, the water is already gone. I notice a bit later on that one of the neighbours on the floor above us is sweeping water from his balcony. Apparently the flood affected him as well. But how? The water level was not that high...

      India
      I've got an incoming call from my ex girlfriend. Unexpected. It's a whatsapp call and somehow it tags her location the same way that a statusupdate on FB would do. She's in India. The hell. For a moment I consider that India is not really the safest place for a woman to be on her own. I quickly find out that she's with her boyfriend though. Ok that's cool then. I don't remember what the conversation was about.

    3. 1 Prison, 2 Schools

      by , 08-23-2016 at 02:10 AM
      D1: I was in prison. I was the Top Dog. I had to figure expenses & inventory for the women. It was a lot like how I do my grocery list. I had to keep starting over because the numbers don't want to add up. Hello dream world, you can't add here! But things were happening so fast. I got interrupted & was told I had to finish in "the yard". Liz from Australia's Wentworth was with me now. She was the one who came & got me & told me we had to go to the yard to finish. I realized I hadn't brought my cigs with me but somehow Mike had bought them for me. Not sure why I was in prison. I start to realize I'm in a dream due to the numbers not adding up but the dream changed on me. I was in the yard but no fence in front of me & it looks the street I used to live on w/ my first husband but the apartment, which was actually 3 apt's in 1 house wasn't there or else it didn't register as there. It looks different now that it was remodeled. Then I woke up.

      Wentworth is a lot like "The Orange is the New Black" but in Australia. It's on Netflix. It gives Orange a run for it's money. I think Wentworth is better now! After this dream I couldn't get back to sleep because my house was cold! How ironic is that? They didn't fix my air completely but because we had the window unit going & the temps outside dropped I actually got cold & couldn't sleep. So I got up & ate & stuff. Watched a movie & took a nap. Hence the next dreams.


      D2: I was in a school but trying to pass as a kid. (Reoccurring dreamscape) Where I run into my 2 kids which I apparently have only in the dream. I ran into them at separate times. I have super powers! I'll be damned a non-lucid dream w/ super powers! Thanks Nebulus! I can run fast & jump high. It was a rush. Who needs lucidity when I'm doing all this shit. I just went with it! I can also make myself look real young. That came in handy. Too bad I couldn't get that super power in real life. I also had other powers I could tell. That's when things became more lucid & I started to have a little fun in the dream just for myself. I was popular too which was kind of cool. Basically half my dream was lucid. But I got awakened but not sure why. Probably just to pee because I felt like that was it. Usually something else wakes me up or my wbtb alarm. Usually Meesha Cat, but she was all calm today cuz I played w/ her earlier.[

      D3: It started out as a chain of sorts because I only got up to pee. But now I ran into this boy but I was watching his life unfold. I was just an observer. He had super powers as I did before. He was dealing w/ bullies which was comical because of how he was handling them. He kept teleporting & me w/ him. His grandfather called him on the phone & I could see his grandfather too somehow. His grandfather told him he needed to trust the things he was telling him but I couldn't here everything. He said he would explain later & the old man had a wry smirk on his face w/ a wink, lol. During all of this the kid was displaying different super powers. Then I woke up.

      After the big Spellbee challenge I haven't tried to do any totm. I'll do September though. I just needed some time off.

    4. Fragment Onslaught

      by , 08-22-2016 at 09:24 PM (Exploring My Mind)
      Didn't sleep too well last night. As it would turn out, I had a pretty good 2 hour nap late into the evening, so come bed time later that night, I really wasn't all that tired. Therefore, the night was spent sort of sleeping but frequently waking up, much to my dismay. Luckily enough, I was able to recall multiple dreams, but on the downside, they're all basically fragments. Here they are anyways:
      I was eating at Olive Garden, when all around me the customers and waiters and waitresses all started going crazy, dancing around like lunatics, throwing things at each other. I huddled up further into my booth and continued to enjoy my breadsticks. Clearly my dream self has important priorities!
      I was in this huge house with a lot of my family as well as complete and total strangers. The front side of the house was open to the outside street, where multiple houses alongside it were selling goods. Not much of note here.
      I was in a small room that looked like something out of Homestuck, and on the wall, projected, was a cool looking animation of David Strider and Jade Harley. This fragment may have been a part of the same house dream just before it. Funny I had Homestuck appear here, as I've not been into it in a couple of years now.
      I was on an alien world, and everything was blowing up. ......
      My ex and I entered into a contract of sorts, and we were living together and going about our day-to-day pretty happily. Still learning to get into the habit of reality checking when she's involved, as she's basically the biggest dream sign I have.
    5. 8/22/2016

      by , 08-22-2016 at 07:01 PM (BloodSand's Dream Journal)
      I had traveled back in time 2 years and I was supposed to take some magic class at this school. I think I was their to change the outcome of some events but I didn't know the details. My being there was apparently known to be enough. The plan was to return to the present once I knew enough magic to do so. At some point in this school everyone seemed to be a little freaked out and the friends I had made said we should get out of the building. So I agreed to leave with them. Someone had jammed a door closed with a soda bottle with a teacher locked inside, so I removed the bottle before leaving.
      I find myself outside at some sort of event. A lot of private homes doing their own thing. I end up at some house with a little girl who asked if I'd like to see their Jackalopes. I say sure I'll take a look at them. She takes me out back and shows me these huge freaken rabbits or maybe hares. They are about 1 and a half feet long and no antlers. I'm actually a bit scared of them and try to keep them away from me. The girls picks one up and says they are fine,but a rabbit irritated at me trying to shoo it away ends up chasing me on top of a car. At this point it's smaller and faster and maybe it turned into a weasel or something. I wait for it to pop up again holding a brick to bash it with.
      I know there was a third act to this dream, but by the time I got down the first two parts I forgot the last parts details.

    6. Update

      by , 08-22-2016 at 06:49 PM
      After the competition I've still been getting lucid and having interesting non lucids. However, I haven't had the motivation to write them down. I also feel that I slack when it comes to completing missions.I attempted to complete the dhl mission but failed and after that haven't tried again. During the competition I wasn't even motivated enough to calculate my comment points because we were far from the points the other team had. I don't think I will be joining the next competition and I don't think I make a good dhl hero because I put my personal goals above it.

      Perhaps after I start school I will try and start writing my dreams again. I may even attempt a mission but right now it seems unlikely.

      Shikamaru's face says it all.

    7. Jurrasic Games and the Queen of Hearts

      by , 08-22-2016 at 06:46 PM
      My view is not my own, but like a camera view kn a reality show. I watch as a group of people get ready to go into the Jurrasic Games. The night before, a veloviraptor runs through the room for some reason. Then on the next night, everyone is placed in a random spot. The first to go down is this one girls boyfriend, as a raptor runs, jumps, then kills him in the bushes. Then a tyrannosaurus rex gobbles up some redhead in the woods. After that everyone but one person is eaten by raptors. The last one, the girlfriend, wins, but is killed by a raptor.

      I am in a kingdom ruled by someone kind of like the Queen of Hearts. She wants to kill my brother, so she sends a creepy old wizard after me to find him. The kingdom, made up of tribes made up of colors, is having a feast. So while everyone is runnong down, I'm trying to avoid the wizard while he asks me weord questions from afar. I luckily make it down the trail and then run across the grassy area to the pavillion. Apparently I am some fairytale character that is always chased by a wizard, which is why everyone laughs when I get to the pavillion. This dream ended, but I had it again the same night, which goes along with the fairytale thing. Creepy!
    8. Heard a pounding sound

      by , 08-22-2016 at 05:50 PM
      I was up high looking down and I remember hearing a loud pounding which woke me up. I wasn't sure if the pounding was like the pounding on a door in my dream or if I heard it in reality. I like to think it was from the dream. A side note, my girlfriend told me she had a dream that I left the apartment door unlocked. Strange... I woke up about 1:45 am.

    9. Back again with a lucid.

      by , 08-22-2016 at 05:26 PM
      Due to an unexpected event in life I had to take some time off of lucidity for about 2 weeks. But now I'm back and can continue.

      A few notes
      -dream recall has dropped. I get the sense of having multiple dreams, but can't quite remember. I'll probably get my previous dream recall progress back very soon.

      -I'm still able to wake up easily just by mantra, so I'm thankful for that because it took a lot of work to get to that.

      -my practice is basically the same as before, but I'm lacking a good night time technique to go along with my WBTB.

      D1 (lucid)- I was walking along an old stone pathway. It was narrow and strait, and surrounded by old brick buildings, and a black iron fence. It was night, and there was a moon shining light down on me. While walking I realized I was dreaming. Instantly I began loosing stability. I could for some reason see my left side of my face, and these vertical lines of all colors began appearing in my view. I had trouble keeping my eyes open, and soon found my self awaken.

      I went back to bed, and found my self semi lucid in the same scene. I walked on the path, and walked into a gym. It war really bright, an had a few people playing basket ball. I lost any trace of lucidity at this time, and also forgot what happened.

    10. Life is weirder than fiction but dreams....

      by , 08-22-2016 at 03:38 PM
      D1 - Outside a bar at night i'm Hugh Laurie look a like, sipping at a glass of water that i am trying to make last so I don't have to wander the streets. The bar is just off a plaza down some concrete steps.


      D2 - There is a portal of some kind it is like a tube but with the ends twisted like a long balloon. From this tiny portal there is an entrance to another dimension where a woman exists.
      Spoiler for Lust brings lucidity:


      D5 - I'm living in a flat at the top of some stairs to a communal hallway. I go down to check the post and start sorting through the post putting it into piles for each flat. Meanwhile an old Caribbean lady comes in carrying a blown up clear plastic bag filled with orange liquid and some other stuff, maybe fruit.
      She is very sweet and starts telling me how her grandchild bought her the liquid, which is for her hair and she proceeds to smear some onto her hair.
      Next a oriental lady with glasses and pulled back black hair enters with a buggy and three small children, she smiles.

    11. #263 - Forest cats

      by , 08-22-2016 at 09:47 AM (The Oneironaut's Odyssey)
      Dream
      I'm in a forest made of mostly bamboo, my friend Daniel is here. We're playing some sort of real survival game and we seem to be cats. The game starts and Daniel pounces off somewhere and hides so that no one knows where he is. Also he has the advantage because he knows where we all are.. I head into an opening nestled beneath a dense pack of bamboo forest, it's cosy here. I make a small bedding area. Sweet, home base is set up and I can operate out of here.

      Dreams are extremely hard for me to remember on work days >_<.

    12. #196: Hunting

      by , 08-22-2016 at 05:14 AM
      I remember being in a forest with another guy. I think it was snow covered, though I’m not certain. We’re hunting. I’m using a shotgun type of weapon. At one point I finally see a deer. I aim at it and start to move in closer, hiding behind the pickup truck. There’s no way I’ll get it. Why the hell am I hunting with a shotgun? I fire some shots, but nothing happens. I don’t hit anything, I don’t notice any recoil, there is no loud bang that scares the deer. A bit further down there’s a wolf I think, which is being helped by a guy with a car. The wolf (and its kid or something?) are injured. The guy gets them into his car and drives off with them, presumably to a hospital. Another wolf exits a cave. I want to shoot it at first, but I decide not to. It comes close to me and I’m afraid for just a split second it will attack me, but it doesn’t. It’s beautiful. I want him as a pet.

    13. #195: Beach / FA

      by , 08-22-2016 at 05:11 AM
      Just a fragment of what happened. I’m at a mall I believe. I’m in a different city in Indonesia. I’m with the motorcycle, outside and with two female Indonesian friends. One of them is on the back of my motor, the other is driving a different motor. We drive what’s supposed to be an hour to the beach Pangandaran, but taking mere seconds. We don’t have that much time so we just take a quick look, not even getting of our motors and making a u turn. I remember there being something to the right that I wanted to explore, but at that moment I already couldn’t remember what it was, so I just let it go. On the beach are two of my friendu. There is quite some fog, but there is something spectacular to see, though I can’t recall what exactly. On the way back I see my friend that was riding with me from the back. She’s wearing a blue/green hijab. She looks pretty.

      Had a FA where I was sitting at a table with an Indonesian and an American friend. My Indonesian friend had her Macbook out, so I decided to take it for a moment to take notes of the previous dream in Dutch. I did it in Dutch on purpose so that no one would understand. There were some key phrases that allowed my American friend to properly guess the story line.
    14. Dehydration

      by , 08-22-2016 at 02:25 AM
      After going to bed with barely any food or water during the day I had fragmented dreams of thirst before waking up hot and thirsty. There is a fridge in the living room of my dad's house and I remember drinking lots of orange juice. Mom is up and I feel it's around 3 AM. In the cul de sac oustside, there is some structure where I am drinking chocolate milk (unclear but mostly certain. My sister is there as well. I think my family was there as the night marked the first one back in college.

    15. Kingdom of Heaven

      by , 08-21-2016 at 11:41 PM
      Because my brother decided to leave his radio on super-loud before leaving, my dream was influenced by this christian talk-show. I dreamed I saw a city in the sky which I thought was 'The Kingdom of God.' I also saw these sheep being slaughtered by these large, black monster looking things.

      I stood under the monster and it dropped and large axe on my left shoulder and through me to the side. I met this man who was babbling to me about consulting the FBI for direction on finding the place where Jesus died because it is a government cover-up or something bullshit like that. I saw blood trails.

      I also dreamed that I had my laptop in my bed I was trying to check Reddit for something important happening to day. I had trouble getting to the website and it is my own fault I was not skeptical enough of my reality. False awakening then?

      No lucidity.

      The bright side is that mindfulness meditation helps me fall asleep faster than normal and get these easy-to-remember dreams. Either way, I feel like I am on the right path to master lucid dreaming. The trade-off is that my non-lucid dreams are more 'adventurous' than my lucid-dreams which have mostly been featured in my own house.
