The path to Lucid Mastery

Non-Lucid


I had this really weird and disturbing dream after watching an episode of Scrubs. I’m going to watch Scrubs more often from now on.

When the dream started I was working in the hospital from Scrubs. A lot of weird stuff I can’t clearly recall was going on for quite some time but then an elderly man came in. He asked some questions to the lady behind the counter and left again. I and a marine (I have no idea where he came from) went outside. We saw him go into the house next to the hospital holding two girls by the hand. I and the marine thought he was up to something and that we should be keeping an eye on him but our boss told us to get back to work.

Then, suddenly there was an explosion. I and the marine ran outside and saw there was a huge crater where the old man’s house was standing before. Out of the crater there climbed some kind of zombie. It slashed himself through some bystanders and ran into the large open area behind the hospital. The marine started pursuing him and I climbed onto the roof because I felt that’d be safer. At some distance from the hospital the zombie found its path obstructed by some bushes. The marine closed in on it but the zombie turned around and lunged at him.

The marine was able to roll to the left just in time but the zombie did wound his leg. I started backing up a little since I worried the zombie would come for me but it turned around and went for the marine again. The marine then grabbed a grenade from his belt and hurled it at the zombie. The zombie exploded and I was flung backwards by the force of the explosion. When I got down from the roof I found the marine at the edge of the crater caused by the grenade, both of his legs severely injured. Some medics came to help him and our boss told him that though he would never walk again he had been of great service to everybody by killing the zombie.

This dream was a really cool one. I nearly got lucid but I woke up even though I started stabilizing my dream by looking at my hands.

I don’t remember the entire dream but the setting was a rather gloomy town. Everything was a really dark shade of purple. It looked like the city of Derse from Homestuck. I vaguely remember walking around there and talking to Sollux (also from Homestuck).

What I do remember is meeting Aradia (Homestuck again) on a plain. She greeted me quite cheerfully and took me for a walk. While walking through the narrow streets we discussed about the role of the Space and Time players and the problem of Jack Noir. Then we suddenly weren’t in the city anymore. As if we’d stepped through an invisible curtain we were now in a vast, open area. There was nothing there, just dark purple emptiness. I asked Aradia how we should get past here and told her I had already tried before but failed. But she just smiled at me, jumped and landed about one meter further, causing ripples to flow through the surface, as if she was standing on an invisible rock beneath a tiny amount of also invisible water.

Now that I knew what I was looking for I managed to find other invisible stepping stones and took a different route. After some jumping around we got to a large platform in the middle of the emptiness. There were also some other trolls and humans there (Sollux, Nepeta, Dave and Jade).

Suddenly I realized I was dreaming and did the nose reality check and started looking at my hands to stabilize the dream immediately afterwards. It was to no avail, though, as I woke up.

It’s a shame I was deprived of a lucid dream yet again but at the same time I’m glad I remembered such a cool dream.

Note: I haven’t updated my DJ in quite some time so here are three entries at once. Enjoy!

In this dream I was in some kind of pyramid-shaped palace (an Incan pyramid, not an Egyptian one). There was a guy there wearing expensive golden ornaments who called himself the prince. He was really rude and told me to go away. I walked outside and set up a plan to kill him to become the prince myself. I dug a hole in front of the door of his palace and when he came out he fell in.

Now I was the prince, but I was sure someone would try to assassinate me too. My oldest little brother came into the palace and started working on my nerves, telling me to watch out and heavily implying he knew I was the one who killed the old prince. I ignored him but soon after he left and came back with two men who started asking me questions. I denied everything and acted really insulted, but my little brother didn’t buy it and went away to investigate. Then he came back with one of my sandals that was in the bushes next to the hole I dug for the old prince. Then I woke up.

The dream wasn’t exactly fun but not a nightmare either. And even though my little brother appeared in it I failed to do a reality check and become lucid.
