non-lucid

1) I found myself climbing up a steep slope with a team of a few others, I was holding onto undergrowth and powering up. A few overtook me on mountain bikes. We were heading up to the top of the hill to fly an aerobatic plane, we stopped for a break in a hut and I realised that I hate flying so I went over to the pilot and asked if he could take it gently to start with and just do a few rolls.
I noticed someone dressed in a green paramedic suit but it covered his face as well, he started to explain to everyone that it had been put on inside out so he couldn't open up the top so his face was covered.

2) I was at a strange party and a girl was counting out invites saying not many people had turned up but the pile was enormous so I told her it looked good to me.

At last after three nights of remembering nothing I have remembered some dream fragments!!

1) I was on a beach, I remember walking down a path towards the beach over the sand. Then I remember being stood near the beach looking at a fence and hedgrows and thinking this was a classic English beach scene. Next I was looking at a beach hut, someone was in part of it talking to an estate agent about buying a beach hut.

2) I was in an old lady's house I had to strip all the wiring from the wall going to the TV and phone so it could be replaced. I remember removing a few specific bits of wiring and eventually being able to remove the phone. My dead father in law was there advising me as to which wire to remove, he said he was having some difficulty cutting one wire but I manged to do it. I was then outside leading the old lady back into her house, I almost went into the wrong door.

3) I parked my car near some doors it needed a jump start. I was going to break into someone's house to connect to there electricity but decided against it.

4) Vague memory of another dream, nothing specific though.

The dog woke me up and needed attention so i couldn't write my journal quickly, no surprise I have forgotten a lot already.

1) I had to move a car to a carpark for some reason, I then went back out into the street and found another car parked across the road and had to move that one to the same carpark. I told someone to tell the owner if they wanted it back it was in the carpark. Some vague memory of sitting just outside the carpark eating a cake, and having to return to a ?hotel next door.

2) Really odd dream about cuttung a large piece of board and explaining how I made the cut line straight, then putting the pieces of board outside in a garage.

1) I am duty doctor and on a home visit. I visit a woman at home, she mentions her son is a bit depressed so I speak to him, then I am told I need to see the daughter as well - she is getting dressed in her bedroom so I have to sit and wait for her. She comes out in a dressing gown and I have to examine her, I accidentally touch her breast whilst examining her and she tells that I shouldn't have done that and I get worried in case she complains about me.
I go outside to my car and realise I have already spent several hours doing this one visit and I need to get back to surgery. I put my bag in the back of a car, talk to someone, then go to my car and realise I put my bag in the back of someone else's car. I walk around trying to find which car I put my bag in but disturb a couple in a car by accident.
For some reason I have to go back in the house. I am sat down and lots of people I recognise keep walking into the room, and I presume they all live at this house. Then I am given a piece of cake and I say 'you certainly look after me here' but I'm actually starting to get very worried that I should be back at the surgery.

2) In surgery. I'm looking around for a special type of envelope. I come back to the filing area and someone has installed lots of expensive new filing cabinets and I wonder why since we are under such financial pressure when the old ones were perfectly good.

Left it too late to remember most dreams from last night.

1) Driving along a snow covered road. Dodging bullets flying at the car.

2) Inside a house, with a few friends. All wearing thick coats and ruck sacks, we were off exploring walking down corridors, can't remember much else.

Starting a dream journal again. Yesterday I remembered nothing. Today small fragments.

1) Riding a motorbike, started up an incline, it was very muddyand the motorbike wouldn't get any grip, the engine was n't working, so I had to come down.

2) On a ward, looking for notes in the trolley.

3) Sitting in a hospital bed. I started to pull the curtain around but it wouldn't go all the way

Fantastic night of dreams. Really vivid and I remembered most of them without even trying.

1) On an old road on a moor. There was the sound of drums beating in the distance and I knew there was a re-enactment of a Celtic march happening, I turned around and met it on the road. I can't remember how I then ended up in a hotel - I was with my family and we were having a meal, for some reason I was on another table. I was served fish pie with vegetables. It tasted incredibly good.
Then I was on my own and I had to go and pay for my meal at the reception desk. there was a queue and I waited forever. Just as it was my turn someone walked into the hotel and got seen before me so I had to wait even longer. I then paid and the woman asked me if she had given me the leftovers, she walked off to get them for me and I followed her to try to tell her that there weren't any. I lost her. I went back to the desk and a man, who was the manager was sitting on the reception desk. Somehow I got into a (very friendly) arguament about who works the longest hours. The I was stood by the front door of the hotel and a wedding party was arriving, but it was pouring with rain outside. I set of back to my car which I remember parking a long way off. It wasn't there so I walked further and then I was on an odd road with trams coming past me I was walking along a narrow ridge on the edge of the road trying to avoid them. A tiny blue car was in the queue of trams and I recognised it as my other car - the door was open and it was an automatically driven car so I got into it. It took me back to the hotel.
I was stood in a corridor at the bottom the stairs. My grandmother walked past and told me to look after a very elderly couple who were coming down the stairs. A very old lady came down but she was very loud and dressed very strangely wearing nothing above the waist, shouting and waving her arms around in a very excited way, she seemed to be heading into the hotel so I ignored her and walked off.
I wanted to find a toilet and I had a memory that one of my children had gone in through a door on my right. I went in through it and found myself in a luxury hotel room suite, I realised I shouldn't be in there but it was too late I heard someone letting 2 very important men into the room, I heard that one was a sultan. I looked to escape through a window but I was too high. I heard one of the men come into the room so I hid behind the door and knelt down, then tried to crawl out hoping he wouldn't see me. He did see me so I pretended to be drunk. His friend started insulting me calling me an American drunk. I woke up then.

2) In a large room there was a film being shown. I comented on how good the projector was because the image was bright and crisp. I moved up to where the projector was. Not sure how the dream progressed to this but I started talking to someone I really fancied - she reminded me of someone I used to fancy years ago. Before I knew it we were kissing and it was really good! She commented how much she liked my tongue in her mouth which was a real turn on for me. Somehow we were then lying in bed kissing . Unfortunately the dream ended there!

3) I was watching someone trying to teach how to play Everlong by the Foo Fighters. It didn't sound anything like it.

1) Watching someone wearing some amazing new shoe (it was like watching an advert) slide down some mud, the shoe was being used like a ski, the camera panned in close to the shoe to show how amazing it was. Then the man ran towards his motorbike and set off on it. He was going very fast and I watched as he rode off.

2) At a new educational centre - it was being built. I was carrying a long strip light inside the building, I walked through a doorway that had the long strips of plastic hanging down being careful with the striplight. Everything was being built very fast and I could see several alrge rooms, one was all about cookery, the next one was IT. Then I was in the building with my children and it had been completed - my daughter was in the IT area playing with computers.
Next I was sat in a chair controlling a video camera that was on a long boom, I was watching pictures of the IT area looking down on it. I zoomed in to find someone. Then I brought the camera back down and realised that I had not taken the lens cap off properly. I cleaned the lens with a tissue.

3) At a table with 2 men they were talking about martial arts and how they could train me.

And more SEA!!
Lots of fragments this morning.

1) Standing by a harbour. It was grey and dark. I saw houses on the other side of the harbour and thought how nice it would be to be able to moor a boat outside your own house and sail away at any time. I saw letters for the houses next to me lying on the ground.

2) Someone's mother was decorating in a room. I wanted to go in there I was stood in the corridor outside and I started to clean around the walls hoovering up building dust and cobwebs.

3) Looking at a laptop, it was quite high tech. I downloaded some books as I was going on a space mission and I wanted to make sure I had the correct manuals with me in case something went wrong. I pressed a button on the side of the laptop to make the display black and white to save on power.

4) Woke up in someone's house, talking to him. We were discussing paintballing. I girl came and kissed me on the lips, she was quite young so I didn't think it was appropriate and pulled away.

5) Driving a minibus with children back to someone's house. They lived in the middle of a forest. I was talking to the mother, they were all her children. She was talking about changing the name of her house again so that she could claim as much benefits as possible, and that made it easier to fool the system. I started walking away then wondered if I should be leaving the minibus there, and decided I couldn't be bothered to go back.

Another night dreaming about the sea! (last week it was cats)

1) I think I was on holiday. I was in a queue, in my car to start with, then on foot, in a seaside town, queuing to get to the sea to go surfing. there were some children behind me, as we reached the sea they pushed past me in the queue, but I let it go. I could see the sea in the distance.
The sea then became a small indoor pool. It had just opened and we all walked inside. It was actaully mostly a hard indoor surface with a small pool in the corner. Lots of people were finding a spot to settle down. I looked for somewhere to put my towel but it was all wet. I started talking to another man asking where I could go without sitting in a wet area. He atrted explainig to me about the activities on offer and that the surfing was a disaster because the pool was so small and the water was flowing so slowly, so they wouldn't be doing it again today.

2) Sitting at a table talking to a young man opposite me. One of my old doctor partner was sitting next to me. We were tlaking about smoking roll ups and about what the best tobacco is. I don't smoke. I watched as the doctor next to me rolled up a cigarette as well and I rememberd seeing her smoke once before and I commented on that.
Then I was walking around somewhere and someone was commenting that I acted as if I am married (I am) but in the dream I was just in a relationship. I was calling my girlfriend 'the wife' and started thinking how I was acting as if I was married.
Then I was in a room with a glass wall watching a woman talking to my children. They were standing by a pond and going to harvest some of the weeds in the pond. They had laid down a floating path on the pond.

WHY AM I DREAMING ABOUT WATER AND THE SEA SO MUCH??

1) I was on a boat with some friends from a very long time ago. They seemed to know what they were doing and moored it by a tree just out from shore. We all got out and walked around, there was a reef just under our feet. Someone went out a bit further and was looking for food. He came back and poured a red lumpy sauce from somewhere, we tried it and it tasted good.
Then it seemd that the tide had gone out and the boat was sitting on some rocks and there was a long steep path going down to a town (or something). I was impressed that the boat was moored so accurately. I went down the path, next I remember coming back up it and jumping very high and coming down through the trees back onto the path.

2) I was in an opperating theatre with a group of medical students we were talking and laughing. A female surgeon came over to us and was looking for a rubber stamp, I had a box full of stamps and gave her the right one. Then I was walking out into a swimming pool, I walked along the edge carrying another rubber stamp which I was looking at. I was going towards a group of medical students that I was going to teach. Someone who I knew years ago said hello to me and told me that he was one of my students.
Next I was looking around for lunch and wlked into some sort of canteen. I found where lunch had been laid out for my group and it was all meat (I'm vegetarian), everyone else was sitting around the table eating already, so I had to go somewhere in search of the vegetarian option. I found it under a plastic sheet but it wasn't very good, just some packets of crisps and stale bread.

1) Flying - very fast and good visual detail. I had some sort of superpowers. I flew down into a roon and there was a film being shown outside, the sound was very loud, a man walked into the room. He was impatient and I though "can't he see who I am, I'm floating above the ground?". Then I was outside and there was a disturbance, and a fight, I saw someone's leg being ripped off and he was killed, there was no blood. The killer ran off. I examined the body parts, they had writing on and were plastic he was obviously a robot.
A policeman appeared I put my hands up I was the obvious suspect in a murder. The policeman smiled at me, looked me in the eye and shot me at point blank range.
I woke into a hypnopompic state, I could feel pain in my chest where I had been shot and I knew I was in the afterlife, and thought that it is just like a dream and thought if I can just control it then I can escape. I couldn't think what to do, maybe try rubbing my hands together. Instead I felt large wooden sticks in my hands and banged them together, then thought I might wake my wife up (I was half awake, aware I was in my bed), they were very noisy.
Then I woke up properly.

2) I was watching in a third party way myself and a girl in a large white plastic bag floating down a fast river. There was some reason for this, we were on a journey.
The girl got out and we were in a building. She dries out her possessions which were in plastic wallets but had still got wet. There were a few rooms around, and some other people. There was a TV on in a room that we could see but we were told that we couldn't watch it. it was some sort of prison.

3) Walking down 8 flights of stairs (in a department store?). Hard marble stairs.

4) In a chemist shop looking for throat sweets. I couldn't find any but looked through all sorts of other stuff on the shelf. My wife was stood at the door I told her I was going somewhere else to find some throat sweets.

1) A girl was in a cablecar. I had to get to her so was on the roof of the cablecar. There was an announcement that the cable had become jammed, a guard came to check the girl's ticket, I scrambled around the cablecar to get to her without being seen.

2) On a long distance car journey. It was getting warm later morning and I commented that the traffic was increasing and it was good we had got away early. Then I was sitting outside the car with another man he seemd like a student of some sort, he was asking questions. He asked me if I undertood the futures market, I said that I didn't know anything about it and he offered to explain it to me.

3) In a large hall. There was a cartoon like woman running around I gathered she was something to do with lightning. She ran up to the top of some steps and went onto a ledge - it was like I was watching a film. She was rolling a container towards the edge and some old powerful looking man was talking to her in a booming voice (just like in a film) telling her not to do it. Then I was back in the hall. My wife was organising some sort of sleep over and children were arriving and being put to bed. For some reason I started getting changed into my motorcycling clothing, it as so tight I had to lie on the floor and ask my wife to do up the final zip, after that all I could do was lie there and couldn't move.

4) Walking down an alleyway, someone walked past me and smiled as if they knew something. I got to the end of the alley and there was a large thorn bush growing across so I couldn't get past, so I turned around. As I reached the other end two people I knew were walking past, they were organising a run and I think I talked to them about it and realised that I couldn't join in because I wouldn't make it on time.

As usual, once I recognise a dream sign it won't come back! No more cats tonight. Had lots of long dreams tonight, started keeping my dream diary by the bed but even so the dreams fade before I can write them down.

1) In a house. Lots had happened but can't remember most of it. I was talking to John Lennon, I was packing up my bag to go home it was an important night something like New Year's Eve but I didn't want to celebrate. I was explaining to him that sometimes it's good to be on your own and that's OK. I walked out of the front door a white taxi was waiting for me, and there was another taxi waiting for someone else as well.

2) This was a complex dream but I can only remember certain details. There was a large medieval catapult sitting in a room and someone was loading something into it. I think I asked if I could go in it. Somehow then I was in a street I think I was with my children, there was lots going on it was a bit like a disney world street. I wa told to go into a building, I asked why and was told that I would find out. I was in the building then and I was rushing to pack up all my belongings into a box (it was just like a freezer box), my wife and children appeared through a curtain across a window and somehow I knew they had travelled back in time to get me and I asked if that was why they had told me to go to the building, they said yes.

3) I was outside carrying washing and dirty plates. I had to climb up onto a road through a fence. I was at my old school. The headmaster's wife came out and was taking something to a house at the front of the school. I offered to take it for her and said I would leave what I was carrying here, she said I couldn't do that and just piled up more dirty plates into my hands, she wasn't very nice. I walked to the front of the school carrying everythign trying not to drop it and walked into the school. My practice manager from work put his head out and mentionned that he was buying some netting for the fruit cage and not to tell anyone because I was paying for it (I presumed he meant it would get damaged becasue people would be jealous). I tried to walk out of the end of a corridor but the end was blocked and I remembered I had to walk around. I went out and found the house I was supposed to get to. The front door was across a big drop with white walls, I jumped across. The front door was covered in overgrowth which I pushed aside, I found the door bell and rang it.

And another cat!!

1) On a long drive. The car seems to keep pointing upwards as if it is flying. I kept telling myself that this isn't a dream and settle the car back down on the road.

2) In a cafe of some sort. I walk out, then back in and I look at a table of people pretending to be looking for someone. I'm riding a motorbike and park it in a car park. It's time to leave and I try to find my way out of the car park, it's not easy. Back out on the road I realise that I'm not wearing a crash helmet and probably have travelled miles without it. I pull in at the side of the road to look for the crash helmet in my paniers - as I pull over I see my front tyre is getting a bit bald.
There's an old black cat on the side of the road in front of me, and then there is also a man stood there - he is really friendly and offers me some sweets which I decline, and he tells me that the cat's paw is getting better now and asks me if I want to take a look. I bend down, the cat is now in a box, and I realise that I do actually have a crash helmet on.
