non-lucid

1) Fitting a 2 way radio in the back of my children's headmaster's car. The car became full of water and I was told it was a leak at a tropical fish factory, I saw the field next to the car was full of water. I ran out of rubber bands to finalise the fitting and had to walk to my mother in law's house to get one. I went there got a rubber band, on the way back the path became an exciting running track that slopped down I fell and caught my hands on some brambles.
I fitted the radio and went back to my mother in law's house. the Rolling Stones were playing in the front room and my daughter thought it was exciting. There were 2 other children there who looked really bored. A famous woman was standing at the kitchen table talking about adopting disabled children and how she helps claim funding for it. For some reason she had a large bottle of iodine solution in one hand and was pouring it out.

2) Stood in a lounge, it was my lounge, but it wasn't anything like my actual lounge. I looked out of the window and the lawn was mown with all the clippings pushed up against the side. My youngest daughter told me that it was mummy's new man friend and I was a bit suspicious because I didn't know she had any man friends. My godfather, who is a solicitor was sitting on the sofa, I said hello to the cat. I had an itemised bill from another solicitor and I commented on it to my godfather and he had a look at it. I also read through it and there were several items listing drugs such as cocaine, it all seemed logical at the time.

3) REMEMBERED LATER IN THE DAY. I was sat with my wife and a catapult device was going to throw a manekin of a young girl so she landed on a young boy, almost like in a car crash test. I was warned that it would be upsetting for young children. The catapult fired and the manekin landed and its head crashed against the boy's head. One of my children got very upset watching it. I turned around to my wife who was holding a baby who seemed very calm. Slightly weird situation.

Dream 1:
Riding a motorbike fast down a motorway. I felt very unstable on the bike and couldn't move my foot off the peddle even though it felt unstable. There was a lot more going on in this dream but I can't recall all the details. I thought I was cold then realised I was just wearing jeans rather than full motorcycling gear.

Dream 2:
There were 2 massive piles of soil held up with some sort of plastic fencing. I was sitting in the middle of one pile, then I sank into it was wasn't unpleasant, and I crawled out. There were a few coconuts sitting in the soil with small shoots coming from them which I looked at closely and they would grow into palm trees. I looked up at the sky and wndered if it would be hot enough for holiday weather. The piles of soil were going to be turned into private islands that people would take holidays on. It was my job to get the islands ready, there was someone else to help me.
By the side was a further pile of fencing, plastic bags and some manure to add to the islands. I was shown how to wind the plastic bags around fence poles.
Somehow at this point this dream became muddled with the previous dream and I was trying to shove my motorcycling gear into a pocket on my jacket.
The person I was working with shouted to me that a cat had got a bird or something at the back door. I looked and it was actually a small kitten hanging on the door. I picked up the kitten and moved it into a backroom. The kitten had magots crawling on it, and frogspawn hanging off it. It's paws were really sore and red. I decided to look after it.

Dream 3:
I was going to give a talk to a hall full of people. I spent ages fiddling with a projector and climbed up to it 3 times to adjust it. I saw film of myself treating patients being projected at the back of the hall. I moved the projector screens around, there were 3.

Tried to SSILD on going to bed but bad cough at moment so couldn't concentrate and fell asleep anyway. I did set an intention to dream about being naked, and it worked.

Dream 1
Fragment earlier in dream: Stood by a table someone said that it had been rather hot for the time of year earlier in the day over 20 degrees, now it was getting cooler.
Next I was in a large single storey outward bound/camping centre. I felt very socially awkward like being at school again, everyone else was outside but I didn't know what to do so I found a table lamp to fiddle with, then it started leaking water everywhere (odd). I walked outside and noticed everyone was naked except me and it was quite a nice feeling, I saw some people, all naked, doing something in a woodland clearing, then decided that I should take all my clothes off as well, and thought it was actually quite warm. As soon as I did that everyone else started putting their clothes on again.

Dream 2
Fragment: Sat on a bed. I was going to go home after travelling. The person I was with was going to continue travelling and we talked about it.

My recall is still rubbish. When I wake I can remember everything but it fades so fast.

Driving onto a large multi-lane road. Two buses coming fast towards me, I narrowly avoid one then I find myself stuck in a queue of traffic and having to do a hill start on a VERY steep hill. I'm sort of hanging backwards out of the drivers seat, desperately trying to control the car but I just about do it.

I find myself in a competition with someone to see who can do the most sit-ups in a minute. I do mine really fast so I get a sinking feeling in my stomach as I sit up. That sensation together with sitting up reminds me of going out of body and I wake up immediately to try to control it. Didn't come to anything.

Dream1: I am a medical student and turn up in a very old run down clinic, there's red wallpaper peeling off the walls, it's an opthalmology clinic. I hang around waiting to speak to the opthalmologist but he's examining a patient.
Later a woman had just had a Caesarian section. I am sewing up after. I get told off for starting out with the wrong suture pattern and have to explain myself. The senior doctor looks impressed that I know what I'm talking about and lets me get on with the right pattern.

Dream 2: In some sort of walled gardens, I'm shown all the ponds and how they are looked after. Sitting in a chair with an old friend. He goes to the shop, a woman sits in his place, but moves when he gets back and he brings back a long till receipt. We eat some food.
Sort of muddled at this point. I'm putting a bag in a car because I have to go home but can't until much later. It's dark, cold and misty. For some reason the car is falling to pieces but I can lock the door so I think my bag will be safe. I'm going back with another friend to his flat to spend some time until I can go home and forget who he lives with and he reminds me. We spend time at his flat, I can't remember what happened there.

Stood in a large hall, there were lots of brand new red four wheel drive vehicles around. It was announced that because of the expense of posting the company was going to give us a vwhicle each and we could deliver the post ourselves. I sat in mine, it was an old land rover, and was excited startng it up becasue it was an old vintage vehicle and felt really old.
I drove it home and parked it in front of our my childhood home.
I went inside it was lunchtime, then noticed the land rover had gone missing. I was looking for my father. Now the inside of our house had become2 large canteens there were lts of people getting lunch. I couldn't find my father. Everything had suddenly become miltary. I had missed lunch and the canteen staff were packing away.
I found my father outside he had taken the vehicle on army manoevres and wasn't sure if I was actually allowed to drive it. He explained everything to me.
I went for a walk and on coming back I wondered where everyone was as there was no-one around. I was told they were in another building nearby. I went in and there was a murder mystery happening and a dead body on the floor.
I went outside again, it was even more military now and I was in the army. I talked to some army personnel. More vehicles were coming back from manoevres. It was evening and I was walking back to barracks and thought that I had always wanted to be in the army and was quite excited.

Fragment: opening a door of a flat looking out into a passgaeway, I remember that the brickwork was very ornate.

I was in a large room. A very famous plastic surgeon was giving a talk at a podium in the middle of the room. I don't remember much of the talk, there was lots of movement around the room, I can't remember why. I wanted to go to theatre with the surgeon, he was explaining why only medical students could go with him at the moment but that he was going to make space for other doctors.
Then the queen was going to have liposuction. I can't remember much about it. I'm not sure if it was the same dream but I also knew she was going to die in the next couple of days and was thinking about what was going to be on TV after her death.
Then I was watching an Australian talking about the death of someone else who was supposed to be famous, but I had never head of them,and it was getting boring. He was stood outside a small building with TV cameras around him.

I was in a small back garden my wife had sent me out and I was looking through a large rack of blankets for one particular one but it wasn't there. Suddenly there were about five fighter planes in the sky and I recognosed that they were new futuristic planes and I was really excited. I leant against the garden fence to watch but it almost gave way. The planes flew around making lots of noise. Then I realised that there was a large barn in the field behind and hundreds of people were coming out after the air display. I went back into the house which was a small flat, and lots of people came back with me.
I saw an old friend and thought 'why didn't he let me know about the display? In the old days he would have asked me if I wanted to go with him.'

Poor dream recall today. Tried SSILD last night for the first time.

Driving a large bus, not sure why, bit of recurring theme driving a large vehicle and finding it difficult. Turned left off a main road and was in front of the library I used to use as a child and wanted to stop but an old woman was telling me that I couldn't stop there the bus stop was at the other side of the carpark so I had to drive around.

I have waited too long since I woke up so other dreams now faded, and I can't remember them.

I was watching an outside play, it was in a desserted quarry type landscape, I was high up watching it over an army style fence. One part of the play was in the back of a truck the other outside a small building. The play was very boring.
Then I was inside the building and I was watching a documentary about child abuse and it was quite graphic I watched a boy being almost drowned by a man, then thrown around, but it was almost like a cartoon. Then I knew the man was going to sexually abuse the boy and he told him to go upstairs.
The next thing I was sitting with the abuser but now he was in prison and I was going to let him come and vist my house for lunch and I told him he had to behave in front of my mother. Then I felt extreme revulsion at what he had done and turned away but knew I had to forgive him.

I wandered into a shop and looked around for a chocolate milkshake drink, couldn't find one and asked at the counter. I was directed outside to the back of the shop where there was a market selling fruit. I looked through all the boxes of fruit - it wasn't in good condition. Then I continued looking for a milkshake. There were fridges lined up against the shop wall and I searched through three of them. The dream detail was good at this point I remember seeing all the contents of the fridges in detail and feeling the cold. I couldn't see a milkshake but noticed some coconut milk and thought maybe that would do.

It was a night of looking for milkshakes!! I was stood outside a newsagent there was a nice garden outside it, and again I wanted to go in and buy a milkshake. I went through the door it was a large wooden door. Inside it turned into a restaurant and I went over to the counter where it was really busy. I heard a woman next to me talking about medicine and asked her about it. Then I was served and I noticed the man serving was wearing a paramedic uniform, and then another paramedic came to stand next to me at the counter. We started talking and they mentionned an email I had sent when I resigned from the ambulance service and how angry I had sounded in it, I didn't remember sending an email or being angry so was quite surprised.

In another dream I was on a London street having a lesson and remember looking up at the buildings they were covered in scaffolding and I could see inside them.

I can hardly remember anything this morning.

Running around the East End of London with my son (?) doing something. I can remember being stood near the Thames but not much else, and looking at a mobile phone needing to be back at another location for some reason.

I was in a department store which was more like a big multi-storey carpark. I was irritated that they had made the lanes so narrow. I drove to one level and bought some cigarettes (I don't smoke). the cashier was really friendly and thought I was only 18. As I paid for them they turned into a banana and the cashier said how nice it would be to relax with the banana and to smoke.
Then I was on the top level of the carpark looking for somewhere to park whilst I waited for my wife. There were some tiny parking spots located up on the wall and I decided to try parking in one. The next bit was bizarre - I was trying to lock the car into place and I was then locking a crash helmit into place instead and then a boy's head was inside the helmit and he was my son and I started talking to him.

I was making a salad, and my children's headmaster was watching. I started out on a cake cooling rack but it fell through so I washed up a plastic bowl and used that. Genesis was playing on the radio.

I was crossing a road and was annoyed with a driver so stood in the middle of the road to annoy him even more, but he just drove around me. I was furious.

Can only remember one dream this morning:

At a large roundabout just like the one we used to use regularly in my home town when I was a child. I was driving wife and children in the car, in the wrong lane becasue I thought my wife had told me to go in it, then she got cross because I was in the wrong lane.
Turned into a street and I left the family behind, can't remember why. I was then walking looking around for somewhere to park a chair (?) and loking at placed and working out if a chair would fit in. Then I was parking the car in a private space, and changed my mind and thought I would get caught, and drove out again. It was now a street full of shops. I went into a chocolate shop to buy a cake for my daughter. I ordered a very small one and was annoyed with myself for being so mean. Then I went to look for the family and was suddenly very tall and was wandering through crowds before I spotted them.

I was at a football ground. It was covered and quite run down but there was a large crowd in the stadium but I was walking around the side of the pitch. I notice that it was covered by a large concrete roof and thought how tatty it all looked and noticed a lot of dust everywhere. The game had started.
Then I was at the other side of the pitch and a very important guest arrived in a big black car and he got out, he was dressed all in white and was obviously a very rich sultan, and a trolley of food was brought along. He turned around and talked to me and I though that I shouldn't really be there.

I can't remember any more dreams. I woke 3 times with the totem sound. No false awakenings or sleep paralysis last night.

Can't really remember any dreams this morning!! But something odd happened.

I set my totem sound (Android App), which I am using as a reality check reminder hourly, to go off 3 times between 4am and 6am. I remember it going off 4 times and I ended up switching it off at 4.45am, so I obviously imagined several of them. Once I woke up to the sound I thought I was dreaming about an evil presence in the room and I couldn't move or shout. I think I was probably having false awakenings and had a sleep paralysis but didn't realise at the time I just wanted to wake, get back to normal and get back to sleep (I had a late night and was tired) - damn I could have used it to astral project if I had clicked what was going on!

1) I walked through a large door out of a large building onto a playing field, it was night time and foggy. I could see a group of young people walking out of the main entrance probably after a night out. I wantred to get away from them so wandered into the fog, then thought I might get lost so started to walk back. Then I was flying above the field and the people were all playing football below me, they kicked the ball up to me and I tried to kick it but missed. I was flying around and noticed I was wearing a red cagool. Then I met an old friend and was at her head height, she was very friendly and said hello with a big smile, and I thought I'm flying she must be really tall! Next thing I was back down at her feet and then I forget what happened.

2) I was cycling down a London street, really enjoying myself becasue the road was empty and I could go fast. I went over various roundabouts, then went up onto the pavement and stopped in a very clever way next to a man. I was pleased with how carefully I had come to a stop. I cycled off the pavement again.

3) A fragment of a memory about running around naked with some other people and climbing up a drainpipe and coming out in a room on the first floor having vlimbed through a very narrow crack.

4) A very rich, famous, overweight rather camp man was taking myself and my children shopping (I think he was a bit like one of my old patients). He was very nice. We got into his large back limosine, then we were walking up a bridge across the Thames and down on the other side and into a shop where we were going to buy Easter eggs. I asked my wife when Easter was. I chose an egg and ate a bit of it because I was so hungry and it tasted amazing.

5) Lying on the floor looking under a cupboard trying to work out how to fix a corner of skirting board because the last bit of wood wouldn't quite fit. Then a TV screen appeared in the cupboard and there was an old film on it and I stared at the screen. A woman walked in and lay down beside me I felt like I knew her but I didn't recognise her, I told her that I wasn't really watching the film.
