non-lucid

Hello. I haven't made a DJ entry in a while, but have once again started recording dreams in my personal dream journal on 2/20/18, so I figured I should post some of these dreams here, to test my new formatting and share the dreams.

Cliffs and Smiths

I am somewhere, looking at a steep cliff that encompasses the entire area. There is a gate with a steep set of stairs going down the cliffs. I point it out for some reason. Just as I do this, a carriage, drawn by two horses, exits the gate, and begins to descend the stairs. The carriage, along with its contents, are bobbing up and down in mid-air rapidly. (This was incredibly funny to me upon waking up. This being written in text really does not do the sight any sort of justice.)


Suddenly, I am atop the cliff, past the gate (I do recall getting up there somehow, but am unsure as to the exact manner I used to ascend. I believe the dream may have implanted a false memory there, but I'm kind of unsure). I have someone craft something for me, though I am unsure of the specifics of who was crafting what for me. However, I am informed by someone of a certain rule involving crafting: 'You can't look at the craftsman, or he can't work, but you also can't look away from the craftsman, or he can't work.'

I try to allow the craftsman to work by keeping him in my peripherals as I walk down a road, but I find difficulty in not looking directly at or away from the craftsman. This is the single most frustrating thing I have ever experienced.

I wake up, without the craftsman ever finishing.

Shared Dream Quest!

I am with two of my friends at a dock, in what I assume to be a different country. We are doing 'Shared Dreaming,' (though not really) and looking for multiple pieces of something. We end up in a water dream. I am a fish. I see something embedded in the sand, and go to collect it. I am suddenly surrounded by other fish. Turns out my friends ended up as predatory fish, while I was a prey fish. This, however, would never have any significance, because we 'wake up.'

I post something along the lines of 'I did it!' to Dreamviews, excitedly. Then, Sageous responds by interpreting it, though I am not sure how he did so. It was several paragraphs long, however. For some reason that I am unable to recall, this annoys me (Which is completely out of character for me, by the way).

I can't remember if the dream continued from there, but it didn't feel like I woke up directly out of the dream.

Space Adventure Thing

The dream starts in a space wreckage. I maneuver around a bit. I can't really remember much about this part of the dream.

Suddenly, I am in a 'Classroom,' filled with kids, who I understand to be the remnants of humanity. There are buttons in front of all of the sets of children. I press one, and their appearances are shuffled.

I learn that I am a Youtube Gamer, playing a game.

Back in the classroom, I tease one of the kids whom I understand to be my sister. I don't tease her to be mean, I am only playing around. I wake up.

Mitsuhashi

It's a Papa John's commercial, advertising noodles for some reason. The noodles were called 'Mitsuhashi' or something like that.These noodles looked immensely appetizing. Like, holy crap, those are the best looking noodles I've ever seen in my life. They genuinely were, on recollection, still the best looking looking noodles I have ever (seen?). I ask some people to go get some for me, but they say "Well, mitsuhashi means 'Cowardly' in Korean, so that should tell you all you need to know about it."

This convinced me that I shouldn't get those noodles, unfortunately. I wake up.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the dream, I looked it up. Mitsuhashi has no meaning at all, in either Korean or Japanese (I checked Japanese because it sounded more Japanese than Korean to me).






I didn't share all of my dreams, because some of them are kinda more personal than I'd like, so... yeah.

My school does a career presentation on space. However, the presentation is actually just a three minute YouTube video that I’d supposedly previously seen in (third?) grade, so I do not pay any attention to the video. My princip comes up and scolds me rather harshly about this.

Later, I see a claw machine at the entrance to the school. “Clever bastards,” I said. They had made he claw machine so that you could only view it through one place, preventing me from judging the location of the claw if I were to choose to play.

My science teacher and I go outside. It’s raining. I stick my tongue out, and it begins to genuinely sting as though it were beginning to freeze.

I say something to my science teacher, and and run to the entrance of the school, open laptop in hand. It gets wet, and the frame begins to bend.

I wake up.


************************************************** ***********

This dream, though unspectacular, was interesting to me for a variety of reasons.

1) The dream basically called me out on my laziness.
2) It was a rather logically set story
3) I actually felt pain, which is the first time I’ve ever actually used any sense other than sight and sound in a nonlucid dream.

I am one of four or five people on a series of islands inhabited by monsters. I vaguely remember a small monster destroying my plane as I flew over the islands. I look out into the distance and see two monsters fighting each other, in the ocean surrounding the island. One is a grayish black monster with four black crystals jutting out in the four diagonals on its back. It seemed to be made entirely of rock, and was somewhat rounded in shape. The monster it was fighting was an all white monster seemingly made primarily of bones, with its arm bones transitioning into spear-like structures as opposed to hands. It was lanky in figure, giving me the impression that it was fast. I estimated them to be around 5-7 stories tall, with the white monster slightly taller than the gray monster. The oldest survivor suggested we cross to the nearest island to find a way to escape the monsters.

We arrive at a small, sandy peninsula at the edge of the island. There are smaller versions of the monsters from earlier there, fighting each other still. Instead of 5-7 stories tall, these were only five times as large as me in the dream. The rock monster notices me. It charges at me in the middle of the fight, nearly killing me with a single attack. It goes back after the white bone monster, attacking, dodging an attack, and charging back after me. I somehow dodged, climbed onto the top left crystal on its back, and, drawing the sword I apparently had, I stab the rock monster. I don't remember how, but it was defeated by a single attack. Luckily, the bone monster was also gone.

The group had already crossed the small divide between the islands. Now it was my turn. I knew that the water was dangerous, because the monsters had a tendency to show up more in the water. As I entered the water, suspenseful music began to play. I reached the shallow part of the other side of the divide before I woke up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The dream was really cool, but not very meaningful. It was really exciting though, and there was a good, large amount of dream content there.

I've been gone for awhile, but I'm back. On to the dream!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is no reason as to how or why, but I win a ticket to go on a blimp heading for the clouds. I enter the blimp, and nothing interesting happened on the blimp, so my brain skips it.

I end up in a gift store surrounded by a vast ocean of clouds. I see people riding around on what looked like jetskis that could go under(cloud?) riding around outside in the clouds. The gift store also has clouds inside it, up to about knee level. Wading through clouds, I encounter a fish guy. My dream cuts out befriending him, but it turns out that he is the ruler of the cloud area. It feels like many days had passed since I arrived in the cloud area. The ruler, whose name I never learned, had become good friends with me.

I am taken to what appears to be a observatory of some kind, with openings in clouds allowing us to see the surface. There are a few teabags sandwiched between filters, each group with a name on them. One of the groups had my name on it. Without being told, I knew that, for some reason, the teabags represented the life force of the corresponding human.

The ruler explains to me that he planned to flood the Earth, leaving only humans he trusted to survive. I ask about why he would want to do that, and there's a flashback.

It was the ruler as a child, playing with a fish twice his size. "Where I come from, all creatures were equal," he explains. A net catches his fish friend. "However, you humans would treat those different from you as scum, even among your own species. It's disgusting. I must remove such disgusting creatures from existence, before they infect other worlds with their hate."

I attempt to negotiate with him, but fail. Out of anger, he sends me back to the surface (instantly), and I end up next to the blimp again. Just as I prepare to get on the blimp to stop him, I wake up.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This dream stood out to me for many reasons. Firstly, it had a really coherent plot. The only weird things that stuck out to me when I woke up were how life force was represented by teabags and that I somehow was sent instantly to the surface. Also, it makes you wonder; if there were a civilization in the clouds, are their drinks in cloud form?

Secondly, I genuinely felt all the emotions, and most of the sensations, which is the first time I can remember that happening in a dream. It felt real.

I'm starting to finally feel the effects of the work I've put in towards lucid dreaming; I'm starting to remember my dreams more often, and I can say with certainty that I'm well on my way to a lucid. Anyway, on to the dream.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don't know what the entry point of the dream was, or if it just started out with this. I was looking for a shiny minior, my favorite Pokemon, and I was running from fights, when a minior appeared. I was about to run from it, when I noticed the shiny animation. I got rather excited, and took a good, long look at it. It was just like a normal minior, but its spikes were brown, which was unusual. Upon looking at them, they turned back to the normal white. The minior's shell had unusual cracks too, barely revealing the Pokemon inside. I switch to the pokeballs. I amuse myself with the thought of using the masterball on it, but decided against it. I forget what ball I used, but I caught it. The dream switches to me, as I open my phone to brag at my kik group chat. I wake up to my alarm, and have a failed WBTB.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Strangely enough, for the first time that I can remember in a dream, I acted exactly how I would if this had happened whilst I was awake.

This dream started with me going up to an old house. On the porch, there are a "Strange Old Dream Lady" and a "Strange Old Dream Man" (despite thinking these exact labels for them, I was not actually aware that I was dreaming.). The scene shifts to an online news article, describing a "Weird Old Dream Man and Woman" who would apparently give candy to random people who walked by. I was in their house for some reason now, and they offered me sweets. I wake up.

Missed opportunities suck.

A fun little dream about resolving the conflicts of an island of bees. Also, couldn't be on recently due to family stuff.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It starts off with me and a group of friends sailing, when we see an island with orange pillars. We decide to check it out, and land at the shore. When we were closer, it was obvious that the pillars were giant honeycombs, arranged in the shape of a maze. Just off the shore, there are giant rocks.

A bee flies by, before noticing me.

"Intruders!" It shouted.

A cloud of bees formed. Instead of sailing away like smart people, we ran through the honeycombs. We paid no mind to the walls, running through them, breaking them. After running for a while, we fell off a sudden cliff. The bees were no longer pursuing us, and no one had been injured.

Night fell. We lit a campfire and chatted for a while. The scene shifts. A blue bee appears in front of me. It began to speak.

"Hello, would you mind helping us defeat our enemies?"

The scene shifts. We're back at the shore, but the honeycombs are turning blue. We had succeeded in helping the blue bees defeat the normal bees. We leave the island, bidding farewell to the blue bees.

I wake up.

Hey. It's been almost a month since I last logged into DreamViews. My computer's hinge and frane broke, so I couldn't use it. Until today, that is, as I remembered that DV does have mobile access. So, this is my return statement, and a neat little dream from ~2 days ago.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It starts on an island. This island is nothing special; just a bunch of hills, a few farms, and a beach to the north, cliffs being on all other sides. I am dreaming in first person, for the first time in several months.

I am on the beach, looking out into the ocean. It's a sunny day, but fog lingers in the distance. I remember it having always been like this. As I stare into the fog, the border of the world as I knew it, I saw a figure- an island. I rushed to my village.

"Everybody, look, out there! It's another world!" I shouted.

People followed me to the beach. The figure was gone.

"There's nothing there! You liar" I heard someone yell.

The people walked back to the village. Overcome by aggrivation, I swim out into the ocean. Before getting far, I encounter a boat. It seemed abandoned, so I climbed on. To my surprise, there was a creature on the ship. It was a purple alien squid with a glass brain case.

*Fuzzy bits about shenanigans with the creature*

I land on the island. There, another squid creature has a port, and offers to build a ship for me. And a game menu appears. (A large portion of my dreams seem like they are video games at some point. A good 65% of the ones I'm able to remember, actually.)

I design the ship, but I can't remember what it looked like. However, I screwed up. I pressed the undo button, but it only worked twice. Out of frustration, I say "Screw It! I'll just use a pre-made one!"

The pre-made ship pops out into the ocean. The skies are clear now, and I see dozens of other islands; one with a giant beanstalk that stretche out forever; a bland swamp; A cluster of mountains; A stereotypical skull-shaped cove; the list goes on and on.

Scene shifts to a creepy forest with two friends, one of them driving a four-wheeler. It's still the same dream though; I remember wondering how I got there from the ship building place (an opportunity to take lucidity, that I'm almost certain would have succeeded had I been on DV for the previous month). I attempt (and fail) to scare the friend driving.

I wake up.

Had 2 Dreams last night. However, they seemed to follow the same story unintentionally, so I'll be putting them in this one DJ entry. Both of these dreams were fun, and both focused on me fighting this 'sage,' as the DC's called it. The Sage was an evil cannibalistic person who could use magic of some kind.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dream 1

It starts off with a few members of the marching band deciding to practice next to a really steep cliff, with a jagged, rocky 'wall.' A dust explosion occurs in the distance. A shadowy figure flies towards me, and I couldn't make out the details or features. He hits me, and I end up hitting a rock. The figure charges towards me again, but I jump off the rock just before he hits me. As I fall, I see an explosion of dust where I had just jumped back from, and the figure once again charges at me. A blue slime pops out of my sleeve and connects me to a sky tram placed in a very convenient, although sensible, location, connected to the top of the cliff and somewhere I didn't care to look. the slime pulls me to it just in time to dodge, and I end up crashing through the wall. My face hurts and my left arm was sore. While I was laying down, I saw a person, encased in stone and with red eyes and two nubs of horns growing from his forehead flying up to look at me as the tram moved away slowly. He didn't give chase. I wake up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A brief awakening and missed dream signs

When I am awake, I feel pins and needles on my face, and my shoulder is somewhat sore. I prepare to do a DEILD, but fail when my dog starts licking my face, making me open my eyes. So I decide to think about missed opportunities to become lucid.

Dream Signs
1) Cliffs rarely form away from oceans, and I don't think there are any around my location.
2) The grass was to dense and lush.
3) A flying man attacks and no one flees.
4) I survive the first attack.
5) I dodge the second attack.
6) I have a pet Blue Slime. (I genuinely want one now that I've had that fun dream, though.)
7) Convenient Sky Tram keeps me from being hurt again.
8) This Dude can Fly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dream 2

I am running back from the guy who I saw in the first dream. Only, he's fat and eating people in my school. People are saying "he's the sage, here to save us all," and similar things. I shout "Can't you see he's EATING PEOPLE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!" People just stare at me like I'm crazy. I dodge past my short section leader, who is taller than me in this dream, and see my other section leader, who's normally taller than me, but is my height in this dream. He's not in the line to get eaten, so I figure he's at least one person with common sense remaining.

"Hey, you see that guy eating people?" He says.

"Yeah, I think he might be evil," I respond.

"OHHHH!" He says, surprised.

Like an idiot, he gets in line. 'Whatever,' I think to myself as I take shelter in the cafeteria. The cafeteria is round, and missing 60 degrees of wall. The fat 'Sage' flies over to me. The remainder of the lines seemed to come to their senses and entered the cafeteria too. All of a sudden, I remember the previous fight. The sage grabs a butter knife and... stabs his left eye. He becomes skinny and lots of copies of him are made. Blue Slime turns into a sword, and there's a bit of tension. I wake up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dream Signs
1) There was a fat flying guy.
2) All these people were ignorant of their imminent deaths.
3) The halls were completely different from my real school's halls
4) The lunch room was missing 60 degrees of wall, and was a perfect circle.
5) The sage stabbed himself in the eye with a butter knife.
6) The sage's clones came out of his eye.
************************************************** ************************************************** ***********************************

This dream was hilarious upon waking up.

It starts with a McDonald's commercial. Four people are sitting there talking about their first kiss. One of them stands up. "My first kiss wasn't a person; it was a thing." The words also appeared (with perfect grammar and spelling, might I add) on a yellow background, with 'person' and 'thing' in green, and the rest of them red. A young version of the guy is dared to kiss a wax sculpture of skinny Ben Franklin (honestly, he was really skinny. If he were alive, it would be considered unhealthy.), and he does. Ben's wax eyes dart about, worried(?). Employees laugh and give him a free meal.
Announcer: "kiss a wax statue at McDonald's and get a free meal!"

All of a sudden, there's pizza in the background.
A Little Caeser's Announcer: "you know, they never get their burgers to look or taste nearly as good as they do in commercials. I wouldn't even eat one for free! Especially the bread. That's why we never give out burgers. We keep our bread on the side or the bottom, and cook it thoroughly before it enters your mouth hole. Something about hot n' ready pizza too!(He literally said 'something about hot n' ready pizza too!')

Now the background is white.
Arby's announcer: "there's a certain pizza company, who will remain nameless, who claims to give you pizza 'Hot And Ready.' When you say my pizza will be hot AND ready, I expect it to be at least one of those things. But you know what? It never is. Arby's. We have the meats."

I wake up laughing and sort of confused. I wasn't at all hungry when I went to sleep, but these commercials were funny, and seem like things these food chains would actually do to 'bash' one another. It was hilarious.

This is a dream that I just woke up from. This dream was absolutely, by far the most terrifying dream that I have ever had, in my life.

I was an orphan, who had went to an orphanage. There were about four other kids there, and we were all taken care of by a kindly man and their wife. There, I felt welcome, for a while. These kids who had also lost their ways were incredibly nice, and so were the adults. The food was good too.

It was about the second night when it happened. Me and the other kids were roughing around at night, when one of them fell asleep under the covers. I saw their lump move. It sped up, heading for the edge of the bed, where the sheets flapped. I pulled up the covers. There I saw only his clothes remained. I panicked, telling the other children and the adults. They seemed to have forgotten who this kid was. I was forgetting too. The adults said they would look into it in the morning, and it would be best to sleep for now.

So I fell asleep. A demon, whose appearance I can only describe as the conglomeration of all the hideous monsters ever to present itself to me in a nightmare. It spoke quickly, but with presence. "You're next."

I wake up. To be honest, I'm not looking forward to going back to sleep tonight, even if all of that was just some silly dream. That might've been the scariest dream that I've ever had, and I was just forced out of that otherwise pleasant world.

This dream happened within a short 15~20 minute nap, strangely enough. It was a pretty neat dream too, for what little time I spent in it.

In this dream, I am not a character at all, and it instead follows two sword fighting brothers in the third person, focusing mainly on the older one. They are both big guys. The older brother wields a shoe, one-handed, and enchanted, sword, while the younger brother has a giant sword. It almost exactly looks like the executioner's blade(the one Zabuza used) from Naruto.

************************************************** ***********

The two brothers are fighting five strange people with weird abilities. Three of them have already been defeated. A man with a body made of a clay-like substance and a woman who traces magic symbols on her body are the ones remaining. The younger brother attacks the clay man, and his sword gets stuck. He is promptly punched in the gut, and falls to his knees, the sword still stuck.

The older brother lunges to grab the sword, and plants his feet into the clay man's body, struggling to pull it out. I remember him saying something along the lines of "Sike! You know what it takes to wield the sword!"(this dialogue is unimportant, as 'Sike' isn't in the dream after this, and neither is the sword.) A thin, red aura envelopes the sword, killing the clay man.

The woman begins to trace some symbols. The older brother leaps back there, and draws on her a symbol I recognize to mean "explode"

Before anything happens, the dream ends. I really wanted to know if it worked too...

Pretty cool little vivid dream I enjoyed last night. If you are easily offended though, this dream is a bit racist at parts. Not too racist though.
-------------———------------------------------------------------------------------
The whole world is submerged in water, and humans don't have any trouble living there.

I enter a building shaped like a museum of some kind. It's a movie theater. When I enter the water-free building, the national anthem plays, and a holographic bald eagle flies by me. I sit down and the holographic movie plays. I have no further memory of the movie

When I leave, I walk past a few people who are band mates IRL. They are sitting in line for the movie. I go to the parking lot (yes, there are cars), and see a large black man. Out of racism fear, I hide behind a pillar for safety. When he walks by me, I see that he's just fat.

"Why you hiding?" He asked.
"Sorry, you looked a lot more dangerous from far away," I respond.
He walks off to enter the line, offended.

I swim off the edge of the platform that the building was nested on. As I do, I am approached by one of my band mates.

"Hey, check this out!" They said.

A screen appears in front of my face. It has a picture of a large, hollow, yellow, cucumber-shaped plant with violet petals around the top portion that contained a hole. In the hole was bubbling, green syrup. Below the image, it said 'gives consumer a 17.21x speed boost.'

"So cool!" I remarked.

Suddenly, a brown and purple striped, rocky-skinned fish swam by, which I scanned somehow. Later, while looking at my scanned fish, I saw two evolutions of it; one with one large plate behind its head, and one with the same plate, only divided into thirds by large gaps.

Regarding the one with gaps, I said "It looks very Japanese."

I am a scientist; short, and dressed in a white lab coat.
My basement is a concrete laboratory in which I am testing wormholes. The black hole is generated. I throw a penny into it in order to see if it works, my eyes fixated on the camera I had set up at a location in the desert. A wormhole appears, just as I suspected, and consumes all the sand in the area, and I notice a single penny come out of the wormhole. All of a sudden, sand fills my basement; the black hole dissipated into some weird black mechanical ball with buttons. I barely manage to escape with the strange device without being suffocated. After splitting the ball, a massive, complex, and utterly green wireframe is revealed.
"I... I solved all of humanity's problems!" I shouted, laughing.
An unspecified many years later, there is a space station with the words, "<my name that you probably don't know> memorial: a History of Faster Than Light Travel," engraved on a sign attached to the top(according to my perspective) of the space station. After that, it's a rather slow fade back into reality
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm glad I had this dream; it taught me a lot about the desire I had apparently hidden deep in my subconscious, away from even myself. Specifically, the thirst that I only knew about after having this dream, the deep, utterly human desire to be recognized with respect from doing something that I love to do. I don't generally like any attention, but this dream made me realize that, even I , the silent little weirdo who would always distance myself from others, wanted to be recognized, no matter how much I believe otherwise.
