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.

The second DJ entry today, as I didn't have time to enter them last weekend. This dream was as cool as the previous and surprisingly clear for a non-lucid.

The dream started just after the action; me and my classmates had been taken prisoner as slaves by some strange folk. I wasn't that worried at the beginning; we could always escape after a while since we weren't dead yet. But then one of the strange folk told me they killed their slaves after 31 days. They were still having a little conference about which slave would be assigned to who. While they were doing that they let us walk around freely.

I was thinking about escaping now, now they were all busy deliberating about us, but that probably wouldn't be a good idea, not this soon after capture. I figured it would be the best to play our role for a while. They didn't seem all to smart and the perimeters not too well guarded. If we would gain their trust (which seemed to be easy to do) we could just walk away in the middle of the night and leave them unaware of what happened. But to make this work, I had to make sure none of my classmates would take a run for it too soon.

So I looked for some classmates I trusted and told them about my plan and told them to spread the word around the rest. I just told that when all of us were told to get in line. We were each assigned to a different master and I was worried for a second this would make it hard to tell everybody about the plan, but as we all walked towards the line we got close to each other well out of hearing distance for the others, so we could spread the word even more easily.

We got in line and got assigned to different masters, but everybody went inside of the largest building around, and when I got assigned my master went there too. The inside of the building looked like a conference hall, and indeed a large chair standing on a podium was filled by the biggest and fattest of the strange tribe. I have no idea what he started yapping about next, but after listening for a while I realised he was talking Ancient Greece. Because I know a few words of Ancient Greece (it was one of my school subjects for half a year) I tried asking him something.

Too bad though, the dream ended there, so I never heard his answer or had a chance to try my daring escape.

I haven't remembered any dreams for a while and I didn't have the time to post the two I remembered last weekend, so I'll post both of them today. The first one was pretty cool, even though it wasn't a lucid dream.

When the dream began I was crawling through a ventilation shaft. After some crawling I found myself in a room with a staircase leading to an attic. There were five people in the room, busy cleaning up. I assumed they were janitors and I sneaked upstairs, trying to remain out of view. I failed miserably though, as one of them spotted me and went upstairs, following me.

When he got upstairs he grabbed a broom that was standing against the nearest wall and thrust it at me. I dodged it, took a quick step towards him, grabbed his left arm and flung him around and let go, smashing him into a pile of cardboard boxes.

He didn't appear out of the stack again but then the other four came upstairs. Because there were four of them against one of me in a cramped space like this, I was in the advantage. I kept throwing them in each other's path, hindering them alot but they kept on coming. Then they got out of the way and surrounded me in a square as large as possible, and the first janitor crawled out of the pile of now wrecked boxes again.

He started fighting me again, the others doing nothing but keeping me from running away. He was much tougher than the last time when I easily threw him aside so when I first grabbed him and tried to toss him aside he almost threw me away instead. The fight lasted quite some time but neither of us was able to get the advantage over the other. At the end I got tired of fighting and broke through the protective circle, throwing two of the other janitors aside. I leapt into another ventilation shaft before they could chase me. After some more crawling through the ventilation shafts I woke up.

I don't remember much of this dream. My grandma visited us but nothing else happened. I only remember a tiny bit but I won't bore you with it.

The reason I chose this title is because this dream is too weird to give a matching name. It includes princesses, sewers and theme parks.

When the dream started I was in our school with another guy I didn't know. I hardly got the time to look around as we charged into a classroom that was empty save for a girl in a wide, pink dress. She started mocking us about how we'd fallen into her trap (wait, trap?) and then some guys armed with close-combat weapons (swords, maces, etc) came in through the door we just used and drove us into a corner. The guy who was with me jumped through a hole in the ground and urged me to do the same.

The unfriendly looking guys with weapons were enough encouragement for me so I jumped into the hole as well, landing in water. I looked around and noticed I was in the sewers. Nobody came after us so I assumed we were safe and I started swimming in the direction the other guy was swimming. I quickly caught up to him and overtook him because I wanted to get out as quickly as possible. But then I noticed something in the distance; we were swimming straight towards a waterfall! I turned around and luckily the current wasn't strong enough to pull me towards the waterfall. I kept swimming backwards on my back and entered the larger space we were in when we entered. The other guy had climbed onto a metal chain hanging from the ceiling and I soon noticed why.

Behind me were a lot of machines in the water, apparently for cleaning the water. Because I was lying on my back I noticed them too late and when I got up straight in the water to prepare swimming forwards on my belly my left shoulder got caught inside of one of the machines. The machine didn't hurt me when I got caught in it, but if I'd get any further in I'd be crushed. Lucky for me, the other guy had gotten to me already and quickly pulled me out. I decided it'd be better to climb up one of those chains as well. While hanging there, I noticed the ceiling was made of loose rocks. I started pulling the chain and some rocks began to get loose. The other guy started too and I hoped somebody at the top would notice the trembling.

So it did as a few seconds later an excavator came through the ceiling and picked us up, placing us safely above the ground again. When I looked around I noticed the other guy was gone, as was the excavator. I was standing in the middle of what appeared to be a large theme park, with a lot of canals running through it. It looked a bit like Venice. I walked to the shore of the nearest canal and climbed into a boat my parents were in as well. They were all sitting at a huge table loaded with all kinds of food. I sat down as well and dug in. When we were finished eating a waiter appeared out of nowhere (we had already set sail) and asked us to pay the bill. To my horror, I had to pay my own share! I tried to ask my parents about that but they were suddenly gone, leaving me in a restaurant (the boat and the theme park had vanished completely) with the waiter. I paid him the money, walked out of the restaurant and woke up.

I missed a lot of chances to become lucid in this weird dream, but I did gain something from it! So far all of my dreams had my parents in them, so now I can safely assume they are a dream sign. Hopefully that will help me getting a succesfull DILD!

Non-Lucid, Lucid


The dream I had last night (or dreams, as it might've been two seperate dreams but I'm not sure) was really vague and I think I became lucid. But since I don't remember the entire dream(s) I'll list the fragments I do remember.

The first thing I could recall clearly was standing in a hallway in what I thought to be an underwater palace or something like that. I and some other boys I recognized (among who were my oldest little brother and Tom and Thom from my class) were standing between the pillars on the sides of a path that led through the hallway to the exit. There were two torches between each pair of pillars, one to each boy's right and one to the left.

Then everybody looked to the left (the exit was on our right) where a group of tall, black men came walking along. They looked like aboriginal warriors complete with body paint and everything. I stood up as straight as possible to pay the warriors respect; it was obvious they were preparing for battle. One of them stepped out of the line and walked towards me. Without hesitating, as if I already knew what he wanted I grabbed one of the spears that were standing against the nearest pillar and handed it to him. He smiled at me for a second and then got back in line. Similar things were happening all over the place; the other boys were handing the warriors spears and shields.

When every warrior had been armed they walked towards the exit and jumped through it. On the other end of the exit was water, but it didn't flow inside. As soon as all of the warriors had gone outside all of the boys hurried away. While I was running away I suddenly became lucid and remembered to do the nose-pinch RC and to stabilize the dream by looking at my hands. As soon as I finished I noticed pale-blue creatures brandishing katana's of some kind coming through the exit. I started running away but then I realised that wouldn't help me so I turned back around, charging at the group of fish-warriors, wishing their swords to be made of plastic. This worked and the swords became large, cheap toy swords made out of black plastic. They continued charging nonetheless and poked me with the swords at which point I blacked out.

The next thing I remember was standing in my backyard with my two oldest little brothers. I don't know if I was lucid at that point but I could fly. It was really hard, I had to levitate myself horizontally at half a metre above the ground before I could take off and even then I could only fly several metres. It was enough to be able to fly on top of the roof of the shed though. I did this several more times and then the dream became too blurry for me to remember more.

Even though the dream was really blurry I succesfully did a RC and dream stabilizing! I'm confident my next lucid dream will be even clearer!
Also, this dream didn't confirm my mom being a dream sign yet, as she didn't appear in this dream. My little brothers did though, so maybe if I take the DC broader as 'family' instead of 'mom' it'll prove to be a good one.

Non-Lucid


This last dream had me consider a possible Dream Sign; my mom. She's appeared in all three of my dreams so far so I'm curious to see whether my next dream will prove this!

When the dream started I was in what I assumed to be one of the top rooms of a skyscraper, with huge glass windows. I was looking through those windows when a tsunami hit. I wasn't really worried since the I would be safe up here and continued staring at the destruction for the most of the dream. After about five minutes the water started flowing back into the ocean, and suddenly I wasn't in the skyscraper anymore but inside of our van.

Because we have a van, it was too heavy to be washed away with the water, but it got thrown around wildly nonetheless. Then I saw a small side road and persuaded my mom, who was driving, to take the road. As soon as we drove onto the road there was no water anymore, as if we'd entered a tsunami-free zone. My mom was looking back and laughing and talking about getting away lucky and I told her to watch the road, as it'd be really stupid to die in a car accident when we'd just survived a tsunami.

Then I woke up and wrote the dream in my dream journal.

Non-Lucid, Semi-Lucid


The dream I had last night was really weird and it almost resulted in a LD! The only reason it didn't was because the situation at the moment I realised I was dreaming was very threatening, so I forgot to do a RC and stabilize my dream.

When the dream started, I was staning in my backyard on a sunny day. Then, my mom called me to get something (I don't recall what it was) from our shed. So I went into the shed and started looking around, but when I looked under the couch I noticed our Hippogriff (from Harry Potter) was gone. I hurried out of the shed and told my two youngest little brothers (I've got three) our Hippogriff was gone. They said they would try and find him and left the backyard, only to return moments later with a half-eaten head of a bull and a young but apparently unharmed (besides being dead) deer. This startled me and I told them to put it back where they got it as the smell might attract the now loose Hippogriff, which might be dangerous.

Then my mom came outside to see what all the commotion was about (my little brothers had already left). So I told her about the Hippogriff. It seemed to scare her a lot that our Hippogriff had escaped, while I wasn't that worried at all. I told her to calm down; the Ministry (as in the Ministry of Magic) would capture the Hippogriff and erase our memories. I was just toying with the idea of blinking when they'd cast the amnesia spell to negate it when several hooded people appeared out of thin air.

There where about seven of them. They were all pretty short, about a head shorter than I am (I am around 1.8 metres tall). I couldn't see the faces of six of them, as they had black cloaks with hoods over their heads, concealing their faces. The one in the front, the seventh, did have his face uncovered. It was Voldemort and the other six were Death Eaters. Voldemort didn't say a word but walked straight past us with his Death Eaters until he was standing next to our house and then he turned around. I was really scared and my mom was making squeaky sounds, as if she tried screaming but couldn't. I was afraid Voldemort could attack at any moment and was about to run away when I realised that I shouldn't be afraid in a dream.

Now I realised I was dreaming and I didn't have to be afraid anymore so I charged at Voldemort without doing a RC or stabilizing the dream first. The running was rather sluggish, but it didn't matter since Voldemort didn't move at all. I crossed the final bit of distance between us and punched him in the face with my right fist. When I made contact Voldemort simply disappeared and the death eaters around started running away, still not talking and not even trying to fight back.

I figured I'd better use some more agressive methods so I summoned a Rasengan (from Naruto) in my right hand and smashed the closest Death Eater in his side with it. The effect wasn't what I expected; lighting came off on impact as if I'd used a Chidori instead and the Death Eater didn't appear to be very harmed besides staggering a little bit. I turned around and saw Voldemort again, now facing me instead of running away like his Death Eaters. I ran at him again, this time not sluggish and tried punching him again, but he dodged me and tried punching me himself, only just missing me. Then I summoned another Rasengan to my right hand and hit Voldemort straight in the face with it, which caused him and to disappear along with his Death Eaters.

I then walked inside to go to the toilet and as I was entering the bathroom I had a False Awakening. I was really excited so I got out of bed and ran downstairs where my mom was already having breakfast. I told her what had happened and then the dream ended.

I didn't wake up for the rest of the night (nor did I recall any other dreams). When my alarm went off I sat up in my bed and tried to recall any dreams when this one came back to me and I wrote it in my DJ. I'm really excited about my nearly successful DILD and I hope I'll have my first full DILD soon!

I remembered my first dream since I started practicing lucid dreaming this week. I woke up a couple of times before I had this dream.

I was in my house, just looking out the window when my grandma came into our backyard with two cats. The cats looked like stray cats, puffed up fur, ugly and very ferocious. She told us she had two new cats and my mom started ranting about how cute they were. I thought 'What? You've got to be kidding me! Those cats will eat you alive!'. Then my grandma left again and I woke up, not remembering the dream.

When my alarm clock went off the next morning I didn't remember the dream so I wrote in my DJ I didn't remember any dreams this night. But when I was having breakfast and looked out of the window, I thought I saw one of my grandma's real cats walking through our backyard! It was actually just a bird, but it made me remember the dream so I hurried upstairs to write the dream in my DJ.
