non-lucid

Recall start:

I am in a public restroom. There is a black arcane symbol on the ground. I step on it with one foot and it seems to partially activate, I feel a small surge of power. I step on it with both feet and am transported elsewhere.
--

I am now in a castle-like area. I spot a blonde girl with long pigtails some distance past a gate. My curiosity is piqued. I walk up to the gate and slide it open, soundlessly. the gate feels sharp, as if I could cut myself if I was reckless. I don't think to look at my hand for injury. when I look up, she is past another gate of the same make. I follow her silently through many gates, until we eventually come to an old man. he gives her an ornate box containing a dagger, and he gives me a long, smooth staff with a sword handle on one end of it. I continue to follow the woman through a few more gates until we reach a circular area in the path. she turns around. I panic, and even though I'm sure she's already seen me, I duck behind a wall. she says something and I come out. I see a class selection screen. the options are warrior, rouge, and mage. warrior is already selected, with an image of a small, fat warrior holding a sword. I change it to mage, and the image changes to a small, fat, bald mage. I mentally roll my eyes and examine the rest of the page. there are very few options I can change, and eventually the menu closes. I open up a pause menu, which has more options to tinker with, but I wake up shortly after.

I fall back asleep

I am in a grocery store learning magic, having little success throwing a fireball. I think to start with real matter and try to transmute it to fire, so I grab a packet of hotdogs and slice the ends of them off with a knife. I hold a tip of one above my head and attempt to fill it with magic fire, I succeed in levitating it out of my hands, so I throw it, hoping it's a fireball, but It's just a tip of hot dog, I throw it at incredible speed into the broad side of an aisle and knock some stuff of the shelves. I try a few more times before I wake up.

In an experimental lab, trying to break out 2 girls. I am lucid and attempt to destroy the lab because I am angry but I don't seem to have any amount of dream control. I hurry to get to the girl further back in the facility because I feel like I'm about to wake up. I climb a bunch of boxes to get to where she is as my lucidity fades. I take a backpack from behind me, but I can't find the shirt I want, I decide its not important. I carry her out of the facility that is trashed from when I was lucid. after we get outside we are pursued by thugs on motorcycles wearing bandana masks that have sharp teeth printed on the fabric. they shot rockets at us as we fled to an underpass. I managed to get on to one of the motorcycles to prolong the chase. I exit the tunnel and have enough of a repose to look in the distance. there is a theme park on a mountain, half of it appears to be a sailing ship.

This prompted a flashback of me and the girl in this amusement park. there are many people. she gets ahead of me and I lose track of her in the crowd. I make my way to the restaurant we were going to before she got lost.

flash back to the motorcycle chase, the pursuers had caught up with me again. I stopped time to dodge a rocket that would have hit me, but we were cornered. there was a windowed wall. I threw her through and chased after her, our pursuers shortly behind. we were in the restaurant from earlier. we ran to the kitchen and into an underwater pipeline. it sucked us down and into an out of view area. were were both destroyed.

Text appeared in my vision it was unreadable, but I heard a voice say/translate it to, "Begin again" just before I woke up.

I was on a ship with some characters from Fullmetal Alchemist. Roy Mustang and Risa Hawkeye stand out. The ship was attacked by a giant crab creature and sunk. I come to on a square island. Risa was examining a much smaller version of the crab that attacked us that was on the beach. one of the surviving crew members apparently found it. I took some time and examined it as well.

the creature looked like a version of this insect with very light coloring. it's meat was a very light color and partially transparent and overall the insects shape was much more pointed. there was a metal fork stuck underneath the meat. I assumed the fork was covering a stinger and shouldn't be messed with.

I was searching for worms in the rain on the square island. the color of the world around me seemed to have faded. there was a raised garden between two buildings that I was searching for worms in so I didn't need to bend over.

There was a grand mistake, an oversight on my part. with heavy heart, I told the person in front of me I needed to go back in time and try again. I knew the timeline I was in currently would continue and I would move to another timeline. I activated my time power and replayed the previous scenes with the knowledge of how they would turn out. the dialogue changed in these scenes.
------
I have a vague memory of seeing Nomad. we are outside near an intersection that I remember well from my hometown. we are just talking about whatever. the conversation briefly turns to relationships. he mentions that winterfae only exists in dreams I get surprised that he said that and it confuses me. my memory of reading his task of the year dream plays. my memory fails after this point.

There was an orbital laser defense system presice and powerful enough to cut a person in half from space by shining it in their path. I was a part of a team of soldiers that was tasked with retrieving the body of a person killed by this laser in a populated city. we approached the body and pulled out a body bag. we scared a Chinese man that must have been in his 20s away while we stuffed the halves of the dead man in the bag.

I wandered off on my own, walking past soldier after soldier on the streets. eventually I came upon a fenced off ramp area. there was a single guard of African origin who was dressed like a modern soldier, holding his gun like the black knight held his sword in Monty Python and the holy grail, downward with both hands on the butt of the rifle. Instinctively I lowered my head, while at the same time attempting to give a friendly nod resulting in a kind of awkward bobbling of my head without making eye contact. (I unfortunately do this a lot in real life while passing people) I had just passed him when he called out to me using a last name I was unfamiliar with, as if he recognized me as someone else. I said no, and stated my first and last name. we talked for a long time, felt like at least 30 minutes about all kinds of things. but eventually the conversation turned to cars and I became bored. I was trying to stay aware of the conversation but I woke up as my mind wandered.

In a forest, outside of a castle that belonged to me. There was a large group of generic anime girls attempting to siege or otherwise attack the castle. I was assisting a group of my trusted 'subordinates' (companions might be a better term? but that's what I was thinking in the dream) to covertly take them out by tripping them multiple times each. We were essentially buying time for the "Overlord" aspect of myself to lead a goodwill dinner for the nobles of the surrounding area.

The meal in front of me as the overlord that I had the chance to partake of consisted of a crunchy, horn-shaped nugget that tasted like shrimp minus the seafood flavor telling of most seafood, and a fruit a bit larger than a grape that was colored like a mango with a green spiky side that was too tough to bite into, and a orange-yellow side that could be ripped or bitten into to reveal a delicious strawberry colored paste with strawberry-sized seeds sprinkled throughout. the noble next to me was intentionally dropping crumbs on the floor, "for the slaves to pick up." I informed her that there were no such people in my castle. Only loyal, compensated workers, and her actions were very rude to them. she didn't seem to care much.

-Dreamshift-

the castle was a college and I was taking a class. the professor was dressed up as a hippie for Halloween, except they had two medallions covering their face. when I looked closer, I realized the medalions were mirrors, reflecting the face of whoever looked at them. I don't remember what the lecture was about but I do remember the professor pointing at the board with several sentences written on it along with missing words in the sentences. after the lecture I followed the professor outside where it was snowing heavily, with snow up to the knees where there hadn't been foot traffic. I talked with the professor awkwardly for a few minutes, then we went our separate ways when I woke up.

I was in some kind of underground cave. There was no sky but there were obvious signs of people having lived there at one point, buildings, chain-link fences etc. I was walking along a gently upward sloped pathway, along a fence. Every so often there was a gap in the fence and I would try to get through, but I was blocked by some natural formation the first two times, I think a pit on the second one. On the third try a big yellow robot blocked my path. At first I thought it was stronger than me and it would stop me, but I subconsciously split off a part of myself, and assumed a very calculating, observing mind, while my body seemed to split from my consciousness and fight. I knew I couldn't withstand a prolonged fight, so I looked for openings with my mind and dodged its attacks with my detached body. The robot attacked with fire, creating an inferno wherever it struck. I managed to slip through it's defenses between attacks and deactivate it. I didn't enter the fence where I could have, and continued walking upward along the slope and beside the fence. Not long after, I came upon a tunnel leading further upward along the gradient. Almost as soon as I saw it, It exploded into a fiery inferno and begun pouring lava, I was shocked and ran back down the slope. I jumped up on top of some tall plateaus, about the size of a house each that were on the opposite side of the fence, to get to higher ground. I watched as the lava engulfed the area and continued down another tunnel. Shortly after a the branch of the lava exited through the lower tunnel, a massive quantity of water started pouring out of it. I came to the conclusion that the lava had melted an ice wall and allowed the water to flow freely. The water turned the lava to rock over the course of about a minute as I watched from my vantage point, transfixed. I woke up near the end of the process.

Zombie horse Holdout:

Two people, a man and a woman are running from a stampede of zombie horses. They get behind a large boulder to prepare for the final confrontation. The man plants himself on the opposite side of the boulder from the charge, and the woman stands just around the corner from where the horses will pour out. as they round the corner, she starts firing lasers from her fingers, blowing the horses to smithereens as she charges up an her ultimate attack. just before it's ready, a female vampire sneaks up behind her. it's fangs glint and it pounces. however the woman is prepared, she turns and fires off everything she's charged up so far, catching the vampire under the chin in an explosive uppercut beam. the dream ends

Dark bookstore:

I am in a bookstore/shop that is in my hometown. I am looking for a book that sounds interesting. as I search the shelves, the lighting gets progressively darker and more sinister. However I don't notice the change. I find a book, but the store owner wants 20 dollars. I think this is a bit much, so I try to negotiate, 15 or 16 dollars? still a bit much in my mind, but I don't want to undercut him too much. then I see a computer. I pick it up and try to look it over in the dark. I see a strange logo that looks like a sigil/rune, but I can't quite make it out in the dark. I try to find some better light, walking towards the entrance as I do so. I start to see it a little bit better, but I ultimately decide it's too dark. The dream shifts

Tower tales and treats:

The bookstore becomes a tower, I am wandering an edge high up on the inside of the structure. there is enough room to navigate, but it is a bit cramped, as I could fall quite a ways if I wasn't careful and stopped paying attention. The tower is telling a kind of story. there are objects strewn around the floor I walk on. It involves runes, vampire dust in a big transparent plastic candy cane, an old man who is a veteran of a war, among other things I don't quite remember. at the end of the narrative there is a rickety looking extension that leads to a plate of tasty looking deserts. needless to say, I go straight for them. after I have a couple, I hear someone say there are cupcakes with edible wrappers back where I came from. I make a mad dash for them, almost jostling someone who is trying to make it to the first set of treats. I stuff a chocolate cupcake with a crunch chocolate shell into my mouth. It was delicious.

Vampire shopkeepers/horse-keepers:

From a third-person perspective, I observe a "family" of vampires keep a bookstore. They have zombie horses that seem to keep eating each-other's flesh. the vampires keep trying to dissuade the horses from doing so, and fixing up the one's who have their flesh eaten off

I was wandering an empty city, there were skyscrapers all around me. I heard/felt the presence of someone. at first I thought it was Meta Knight, but they disappeared into an alleyway before I could know for sure. I followed them.

When I emerged on the other side, I was shocked to see a hulking tower of a person that looked like a cross between Zangief from street fighter, and Berserker from fate/stay knight, holding a giant two-handed sword. I was worried I wouldn't be able to beat him, but I drew a sword anyway. It was a longsword with a steel tip and a blue serrated blade. I only saw the blade part and did not examine the guard or grip.

I charged as he held his ground, but The moment we were about to clash, something changed in him. He doubled over, seemingly in pain. I stopped my charge, He seemed to be having a heart attack. I opened a main menu screen that took up my entire vision, frantically looking for a hospital button, after going through several menus, I found it and teleported us both to the nearest hospital. I laid him on an in-patient bed and called for a doctor, no one heard me. I realized we were still in the deserted town, and there was no one staffing the hospital. I woke up soon after.

My memory is that all these snippets of memory are more connected than they appear, I just don't remember the details very well. typical dreams eh?
--
I am playing the sims, an advanced version with first person controls, I'm in a cal-de-sac, with houses lining the road on both sides of the street.
--
I am looking through my old yugioh cards, specificly for the card, "Hungry Burger" for some reason. I can't seem to find it, but I do find maybe five to seven that I don't recognise that remind me of parasites. They don't do anything but damage you while in play, so there would be no reason to use them.
--
I am in a black robe on a sunny day, two other figures in robes are with me. I am confused, but I know the other figures are friendly. we are walking towards a walmart building for some reason. I remove my hood. after some hesitation, the other figures do the same, I don't remember who they were, but I recognized them.
--
I am at the college I go to. I am with an online friend, Eon. we are planning on meeting up with nomad (this was not planned out beforehand) we enter one of the buildings on campus, and after walking through the halls for a short time, I find him in one of the rooms. Eon goes out of sight for a few minutes, but we catch up to her, she is near the entrance. Nomad looks like exactly like my current roomate, though I don't notice this as odd, and Eon is a shorter, skinny blonde girl with hair so curly I would almost call it frizzy. As we walk back outside, Eon asks nomad out of the blue if she can join the shared dreaming group. I start to object, thinking it is a bad idea, but realize it's not my decision. I don't remember nomad's answer. we walk outside. nomad and eon teleport some distance in front of me. I am stunned, still thinking i'm in reality. I run up to them, jump and catch the back of nomad's neck in the crook of my elbow, though he doesn't move an inch and continues walking. I exclaim, "You teleported!" still not quite believing it. nomad gives me a sly look, a thumbs up, and I realize I should probably do a reality check. I try doing a hands free one that I don't really practice in reality. It passes, as if I was awake, I look up and everything is getting destablized, like, really badly. then I wake up.

I am walking toward a large, unfinished Disney castle. There is a closed off entry leading up to an unknown area of the castle, and a lower path that seems to stay on ground level. I ask someone walking in the same direction as me how to enter the castle, they give an odd answer. I walk in the ground level entrance and pass some tables, not paying much attention. I keep walking and see a birthday party with a bunch of little girls. I don't want to be a part of that, so I turn around and walk towards the tables I originally passed. there are some older (relative to the girls) people sitting there, also enjoying cake. I sit down, and much to my surprise, I see WakingNomad and Raven Knight enjoying some chocolate cake. I don't get a good look at raven, and she leaves soon after I sit down, I assume it's something important. Nomad is sitting directly across from me, I figure I should say something, but I'm not sure what. I notice the cake is gone. I start to ask about his CT, then he exclaims something and pounds the table, surprising me. we sit there staring at each other awkwardly for a bit. he looks exactly as he did in some of his videos, he has dreadlocks poking out at random angles, and I can see small wrinkles and other details of his face. I wake up soon after.

My recollection:

I attempted to share a dream with a good friend of mine last night. Lots of false awakenings, remember seeing myself fall through their ceiling and floor, then receiving a text explaining what happened. I also remember seeing her intermittently throughout the night, but nothing specific.

Their recollection:

They described me as older than I look now. we both recall seeing each other a few times last night, but nothing specific on their end either..

The overall theme of the dream seemed to have some connections with this video.



I lay in my bed, paralyzed. I lay there for maybe 10 minutes before I realized I can't move. I slowly start getting a bit angry, but not to the point of a blind rage, just a bit annoyed. I finally decide enough is enough and tear myself from my bed. Literally, I start to feel things pull from my body, and I see that pins and needles numbness all around me. I run out of strength before I can get up, I lay on my legs and feel like I melt away.

(everything was monochrome above this for some reason, I want to say astral, but It's been so long since I've remembered a proper dream I can't tell.)

-scene shift-

YE OLDE BAR, VICTORIAN ERA/1700'S AMERICA

robots have enslaved everyone's minds. I see as I walk around an otherwise Victorian style bar, everyone wears a powdered wig or some other Victorian era garb, but they also have some sort of mind control device, some float around their bodies like levitating hula hoops, others seem to be like goggles. they wear them like fashion statements. I hear "machine men! with machine minds!" I see two people, Thought they were DeadMau5 (but after a quick Google search, I realize they were daft-punk). They were disconnecting people from their devices, and those people in turn were disconnecting others.




-dream skip-

I am at the headquarters of the corporation, I yell, "MACHINE MEN, WITH MACHINE MINDS! YOU ARE NOT MACHINES, YOU ARE MEN!" (there were women there too by the way, that's just how the quote goes) as I unplug the workers, people who have been programmed to do nothing but work. they thank me and go to unplug others. I find the CEO of the corporation. She is a blonde in a ponytail on a cell phone. everyone is unplugged, we've won. I do nothing to her.

I walk back out, the room has become empty and white, save for the people that were unplugged. time seems to have passed without me realizing it. they are all texting, complacent, uncaring about the world around them. the blonde-ponytail is scheming something even more dastardly. I yell at the people who do nothing, they reply, "I don't care." I wake.

-pre sleep-

As I fell asleep last night, I saw in my pre-sleep imagery large double-doored gates, each opening to reveal another. There were two statues of a human figure, one on each side of each gate. I was fascinated by these gates and proceeded through them as they opened before me. I made it about halfway through these gates before I stopped. Fear gripped me, and the statues appeared malicious, still as they were. In a mild panic, I turned around and attempted to return from where I came, but quickly decided to open my eyes to banish the imagery, yet not the fear.

-Dream-

Recall begins as I get into the back seat of a car as quickly as humanly possible, then slam and lock the side door. My pursuer, a crazed serial killer grabs the door handle and yanks on it several times as I get myself to the front seat to lock all the doors. I press the button to lock the door, and in my panic hit the unlock button, then the lock button once more. I get the key into the ignition and press the panic button. The siren starts blaring. and my assailant recoils from the door, clutching his ears. I watch as he falls to the ground, convulsing as if an electric shock is running through his body.

I take a moment to calm my nerves. I let out a deep breath and take on another terrible fear of mine, driving.

I take the car out of park and let it coast downhill, turning right at the first opportunity and parking immediately. Then I wake up.

I am just a floating consciousness observing two adventurers run down an underground tunnel, something or a group of somethings is chasing them. another member of their party is looking for some sort of personal answers elsewhere in the cave. This party member stumbles upon a giant pink dragon/dinosaur (It just didn't have wings so I don't know what to classify it as) sitting casually as if in an armchair. It calmly explains exactly what the party member is searching for. Meanwhile the other members are arguing whether to take the boat on the underground river or try and hold off whatever is chasing them long enough for the third party member to reach them. I wake up before a resolution is made.

I was walking in some backallyish area in my boxers, reflecting on waking life issues. The town's geography was warped so that the school was behind me even though It wouldn't be normally. The area was fairly populated, but I wasn't embarrassed in the slightest.
