non-lucid

I just woke up from this dream after trying to go to bed early, so here we go.

I was in a big house with a bunch of other people around my age and it seemed as though someone had made dinner and we were supposed to get some of it.

I left a little bit of Coca-Cola in a 2L bottle on the table where I was going to sit and I was worried about it being stolen, even though it never was.

It's sort of difficult to describe the kitchen, but it had one of those counter/island things but it was shaped like a square and it was huge. On one side, there was a counter on the other side of walking space that went around 3 sides of the island/thing.

And on the other counter space is where there was a huge pot filled with giant pasta noodles. They looked like this:

The only difference is that they were a lot bigger in the dream. There wasn't too much sauce in the pasta either, and it seemed like half of it was like syrup or honey for some reason.

I remember getting a dish, and one thing I noticed about all the dishes is that they were way shinier than any dishes would be in real life. They seemed too shiny somehow. My bowl in particular was really reflective.

I filled it up with the gross pasta and sat down at my spot.

And then I woke up.

Oh boy.

What a great dream.

Eh.

This one was kinda lengthy. It all started in some new house I got. The house was incredibly technology focused. I apparently got the house because the kid that used to live there died. Creepy. Anyway, the house was huge, it had big rooms with wooden flooring, and it looked very much like a mansion. It probably was a mansion. I remember going into this kid's room, and seeing what he had. All the things he owned were now mine apparently, so I looked around for cool stuff. He had a bed that had drawers underneath it, so I remember pulling a drawer out and seeing a bunch of things. There was a little bit of various clothing, a GameBoy, a microphone, small portable speakers...
I even saw my own Pokemon Silver Cartridge in the drawer. I could recognize it because it has an old sticker on the back. There was a bit more than that, but that's all I can really pinpoint. The thing is, I own those things in real life. Even the GameBoy was purple, like the one I actually have. Something really didn't seem right. I picked up the microphone and showed it to my mom who was standing in the doorway. I had to remove it from the tangle of cords first though. I was excited specifically about the microphone for some reason, still not sure why I even would be. What frustrates me the most is that I ALMOST went lucid when I pulled out the drawer, but especially when I picked up the microphone. Something about touching things in dreams makes me almost lucid.

This happened before in a really old dream I had that has an entry here on this site. In "These Guys Want Their Pepsi" I'm pretty sure I picked up a football in this dream, and when I did, I almost went lucid just like in this one. Oh, but we're only 1/3 done this dream, so let's continue...

Then next part was that in the house near the entrance, but also near the kitchen, there was a button with the Steam logo on the wall, and I remember pressing it, then heading into a dark room. Maybe it was the bedroom again? I remember picking up some random toy and it was a transparent Walkie-Talkie that displayed the time digitally, and played music. The music was sort of alien-like, and I'm not sure how else to describe it. I remember there was a big screen in front of me at this point, maybe for a gaming console? My mom was there and was trying to play something for some reason but I kept on having to guide her through the basic menus. Sounds like something I'd actually have to do in real life if she ever decided to play my PS3. Oh joy. I'm not sure what happened after this, but next thing I know, I'm a soldier in a series of tunnels. A series of very very hot steel tunnels. There's a bunch of automatic doors, and other soldiers. Eventually everything started to get hotter, even though I couldn't actually feel anything. Everyone's armor was just glowing orange and melting, killing the people inside the armor too, obviously. It didn't happen to me, I took off my helmet and I was able to get out somehow. The tunnels all turned glowing orange from the heat and started collapsing. Not sure why all that happened. Now for the next part...

I was suddenly very far away from the mansion and the tunnels, walking down the street with a woman who was (apparently) my wife. Then suddenly out of nowhere, we gazed off into the distance and saw a HUGE explosion. Like a disaster level explosion. My wife and I started running down the road very fast. The shockwave never came, but the explosion itself was heading our way. It was pretty far from us, so we had some time. We ran and ran... All the while, she was behind me, so I was never able to focus on her face. We came across one black car on the road that looked like it belonged in the 1930's. It stopped for us, and without saying anything, I opened one of the rear doors, and saw that the car was full. My wife closed the door quickly and the car sped away.
I never really thought it was creepy at the time, but the 4 people in the car were all dressed in 1930's attire, and as soon as I opened the door, they were all staring at me with a bleak expression on their faces. There appeared to be two women and two men, from what I can remember. My "wife" ran on ahead somehow without me even seeing her, and I ran to some random place. I ran inside a building and was stopped by a woman. I asked her what this place was and she said it was the Disaster Center. I remember asking through panting where my "wife" was. She was just around the corner in some waiting area. I joined her, but for some reason was instantly transformed back into my normal self, and my "wife" took the form of my mother. She was sitting down chatting with her friend who had 3 kids. I remember having a lunch there with a ton of things in it, peach yogurt, potato chips... A bunch more stuff I can't remember. The youngest of the other woman's kids was a toddler and started trying to take my food, one item by one. As soon as one was taken, I'd take it back immediately. This went on for what actually seemed like at least two whole minutes. Eventually I got the hang of it and started predicting what food item the kid would go for next. I shouted "Stop taking my food!" and then suddenly everything changed again. This next part happened right before I woke up. For some reason, I was out of the dream now, but it kept going. ( You know, when a dream sorta becomes a movie that you watch.) It was about two "monster" parents letting their daughter be a part of monster combat training...? This really reminded me of Monsters Inc... Some big monster boss guy said that her colors made her more unique.

Then, I woke up. That was the longest dream I've had in a while, whoa. And all that was still the third dream I had last night. (Check previous entry for other one that I remembered little of, and the other one that I remembered absolutely nothing from.)

3 dreams happened last night. The first one I don't remember really, but I do remember enough of the other two. I feel as though the last one deserves its own entry though.

1. ???

2. I was in what appeared to be a school library, sitting down on the floor with a friend of mine, playing my 3DS system, although on the top screen on the right, it had another circle pad, covered in a piece of cellophane plastic to protect it I guess. I don't remember what I was playing, but I remember someone who I actually know who is really super annoying came over and started to bother us. I remember answering his questions in a very annoyed tone, while keeping my face glued to the screen of my 3DS.

3. -See next entry-

I had 2 small dreams last night, but once again, I mostly forget what they were and I was too tired to get up and write them down at the time, but one of them involved my high school. I remember more of the other one.

The other one involved being near some sort of jungle area in a small building. There was a lady there who worked there for some reason. I remember someone killing her and saying something like "Sorry for removing you from your post." But then I was able to save her for some reason, so I did. She seemed important but I didn't recognize her at all. It was very strange.

This all got me thinking about an old dream I had maybe a month ago too.
The premise of this other dream is that my school got some sort of expansion, and another floor. There was even a medical wing in my school for some reason. It was really strange. I remember walking down the seemingly endless hallways, trying to look for someone.

I think my dream recall is improving, but I need to learn to wake up and write my dreams down as soon as possible.

*Tried to WILD+WBTB again last night, with no success at all. I've reached the conclusion that I cannot attempt to lucid dream until the weather gets cooler. Even with the air conditioner on, it's still painfully hot and uncomfortable upstairs, keeping me from being able to relax properly. I'll have to wait until it gets cooler, or until I get a new fan, because my old one broke. For now, I'm going to focus on improving my dream recall by writing all my dreams down here.*

I did have 2 small dreams last night. The first one was this:

I think it involved being near my school, but the only thing I really remember was boarding a really cramped school bus, and sitting next to someone whom I've probably never seen before. I don't remember their face, it was odd...

The second one was:

The next one involved me being far away from a hill that had a wooden gate that was open. I was at the bottom of the hill with a sniper rifle picking off "bad guys" that really looked like they belonged in Far Cry 3. I've been playing a lot of that game lately, so I guess this was bound to happen eventually. My parents were near them for some reason, and I was defending them I suppose.

I don't remember much else, so I guess that's it. It sucks that I need to wait for the weather to get better in order for me to try to LD, but it shouldn't take too long since it's already September.

I was at some tall and loose looking building that seemed to really only be held together by metal walkways. Maybe a radio tower of some kind? There didn't seem to be any real parts that were solid and that had rooms, it just seemed to be all open. I was there with a friend, and it was his house, although his identity changed multiple times throughout the dream. His father and a friend his father had went up to the walkway where we were, which was about 30 feet off the ground. There was a door that led to nothing and his father went through it and fell all the way down, but he was fine. He apparently needed to do it in order to put the staircase in place. There was now a metal staircase outside the doorway he just jumped out of, which made it easier to get up to where we were. I don't remember what happened after this, but the next thing I know is that we're in an actual room now, even though his house seemed to have none. I was at the top of some staircase inside with my friend, and we were looking out the window and we saw my mom coming up to the house. She used the staircase that was put in place outside and came inside. Somehow, she was at the bottom of the staircase we were at the top of, and she was telling me how if I went back to school, I would need to "buckle down" and get better grades. This was pointless. We had an argument, and I reminded her about how I'm not going back to school because I graduated. She persisted anyway, and I was constantly compared to my friend next to me who got all B's. When I apparently only got C's. None of that is even true actually. This dream happened after I tried to do a WILD. I failed of course, but I did get close to the transition, so I'll try WBTB tonight.

Does anyone have any advice for someone trying to get back into WILD after like 2 years?

I literally JUST remembered that I did have a sort of lengthy dream last night, and it was long enough in general to have its own entry, so here we go.

I appear to be at a night time pool party outside of an expensive looking house. Only it doesn't really seem like a party. There aren't many people there, and there's no music or anything. But there were a bunch of lights aimed at the pool and I remembered coming out of the house and going near the pool but then I remembered I left my swimming trunks in the house so I had to go back in and get them. Once I was back out, I avoided swimming in the pool. In real life of course, it isn't that I can't swim, it's just that I don't like to. So even in the dream I refused to do it. It was almost pitch black outside, and there were like maybe 5 other random people that seemed around my age, but I didn't recognize them.

That's all I really remember about this one. I'm going to try and write down dreams here as soon as I wake up, so I won't forget them at all. Even if it's just for a few hours.

Nothing really happened last night that I can remember. Maybe a few small dreams that weren't memorable enough at all to write here. Tiny fragments of things I'm not able to recall.

Maybe I'll get something better tonight.

Not too much detail for this, but this one involved being in either a dark room or an alleyway, and I remember it could be an alley because there was a police car circling the area. Maybe police being in my dreams is a representation of guilt? But I don't feel guilty about anything super important, so that's strange.

Another fragment of a dream from last night is where I seemed to be in a dark building's entrance, passing by my parents, and going out into a big bright room with other people I know. ...This one ended up getting a little sexual, but that's not the point. It appears that the sexual portion was a result of mild lucidity, so that's a good sign I suppose.

Both dreams from last night weren't very memorable and were small, but I need to write them down here regardless.~

I literally haven't updated in 2 years. Wow. I'm going to try Lucid Dreaming once again, now that I no longer have school to worry about. So I have a few recent dreams I'd like to go through first... I don't remember too many details of course, but it's better than writing nothing. It's also better than writing each one separately, given how short they are.

1. I was in some sort of small warehouse room being held at gunpoint by some dude in a trench coat. For some reason, we swapped jackets, but he forgot he left another gun in his, so I took it out and shot him dead.

2. Multiple violent dreams of being in fights with random people.

3. Many dreams lately about spending time with my sort of gf. (Long story, don't ask.) Probably having these because I miss her a lot.

4. In my school looking for gf constantly, she turns a corner as I'm running towards her and she's gone completely. I spend the rest of the dream frantically searching for her.

5. A bunch of different dreams involving my old houses I used to live in, talking to my parents about various things.

That's all I remember recently.

I'll continue to update regularly from now on. It's good to be back!

This one was pretty awesome... I remember it starting at my house, in my bedroom. I had just woken up from bed in the dream. I went down to a train station or something to look for clues, and I didn’t have a gun either, which apparently, I guess I was supposed to. I remember meeting a girl down there and she gave me this message from my girlfriend saying “help”, and that’s how I knew I had to go save her. So me and another one of my friends, who also happened to be a girl (haha), went to this random big building on a street corner. Inside there was a big white room but nobody was in it. There was a doorway at the other end of the room though and after that, there was a huge room filled with people who looked like soldiers, plus a few guys dressed in suits. This is probably the highest number of dream characters I have ever seen at one time. I obviously wasn’t supposed to be caught by them, but they didn’t care so far. I remember going into the doorway and shouting at them like I was staff there at the building. Stuff like “Hey, how you guys doin’?” or “You got everything ya need?” things like that. They all approved of me and didn’t suspect anything. After that, I went into a room next to this one, and oddly enough, there was bowls of Cheetos everywhere on tables, although they were darker than Cheetos should be, but not that much darker. I remember picking up a Sub Machine Gun of some sort, and then sneaking it out of the building and giving it to my friend, who had stayed outside. She said “Oh, sweet, you got it?” or something like that. So part of the mission was to get a gun, and then to rescue my girlfriend. This was so cool too, I want there to be a second part...

This one was really cool. It started out in front of a run-down looking house. I was sitting in a car. Kinda felt like I was Dean from Supernatural. Anyway, there was some other guy beside me in the car, but it wasn't Sam. We both went inside and explored it. Apparently we were supposed to obtain a password for a certain door in the house. Some guy was inside and I guess we had to fight it out of him. There was a relatively big chamber before the door. "Sam" and I went behind a big piece of concrete (Probably a fallen wall) to wait for the man so we could jump out and fight him. "Sam" was noticed before me though, and the man threw something at Sam's neck and he fell on the ground. I remember them as being... Well, you know wind up toys? It was a handle to wind something up, only it had a really sharp point. Then I stood up to fight the man. He was wearing ragged clothes and he looked kind of old... Maybe in his 30's to 40's. The man threw a wind up handle at me but I dodged it. I don't really remember parts of the fight here though. But all I know is that I was doing kinda bad until I learned how to avoid the wind up handles entirely. He threw another one at me and got it in my neck, but I pulled it out and punched him in the face. He stumbled and fell onto the ground. Another wind up handle was thrown but I blocked my neck and it didn't hit me. Then I started punching him over and over and over. Left, right, left, right left, right left, right left, right left, right left, right... Until finally he looked dead, and I picked him up and threw him out a window. "Sam" woke up and pulled the wind up handle from his neck. Then he asked me if I got the password from the guy. Of course I didn't though, because I just punched the crap out of him and threw him out a window. I felt kind of guilty at that too. But yeah that's what I remember. It was pretty neat, especially the part where I kicked ass.

I rate this dream 4/5 awesome dances.

Just woke up from this dream, so here it is... I was outside in like a forest type place with my dad, and I'm not sure what I was doing entirely but I remember that I did cut a pine tree down with sandpaper. lol... My dad said he was looking for metal, and he told me to help him find some. So I started looking around outside, but strangely found nothing. There was garbage, including plastic and maybe some metal on the ground almost everywhere. And there was even kind of a warehouse outside too. It was like half outside, half inside. I went inside a room in there, and saw stacks of thick metal plates, so I brought one to my dad. He said "This isn't metal." And then I looked at it and realized that it was not metal, but rather a porcelain plate (Not an actual dinner plate lol) that when I first picked it up, it shone in a bright silver, which made it look like metal. But when I showed it to my dad, it looked rather orange. Then I remember saying "It looked like metal at first, ok?!" I still wonder what my dad could have been looking for metal for... Odd...

This was a bad, and scary dream... I was walking through some sort of mansion or castle or something, like a big house. I was running from something and I ran and hid in a room, but could still see into the hallway. A door then opened in the hall that I could see, and about 5-7 people came out into the hallway. They all had weapons, and seemed evil. But they also seemed kinda stupid because they didn't even bother to look into the room that I was in. One eventually did. A woman, who I guess kind of looked like my mom. I remember being back up against a section of the wall that had a window on it where I was, and the woman hit me with something that was a long piece of cylindrical wood with multiple and long sharp spikes coming out of 2 sides of it. I got hit in the left side of my neck with it hard, and didn't feel pain exactly, but I "felt" it. It felt like I was dying a few seconds after I was hit, and that the dream would end. But it didn't, and I came back to life. This happened multiple times before I started to realize I was invincible. Even so, after every time I was hit, I got that "dying" feeling. Then she got a bit of an attitude and stuck the weapon in the left side of my neck and jammed some other sharp object in the other side of my neck. I didn't die after that either. In fact, I actually escaped and ran down the hallway and then the dream ended.

This was a bad dream and all, but it was definitely interesting.

This is one of my weirdest dreams.... I was in my house and my dad was holding a box in front of me that had 3 cats in it.
All 3 of the cats looked like one of my cats. Like this. (Obviously not 100% accurate)

And no they weren't kittens, they were 3 cats sleeping in a box together, and they all looked exactly the same.

Next part of the dream, I was with a few friends in my school and we had guns and we were just running around looking for enemies or whatever. Then I remember like dropping my gun or something, then having to go back and get it. The gun looked mostly like this.

This was a pretty weird dream... I never actually got to shoot anything though... :/
I'm not even a violent person and have never gotten in trouble with the law or anything... Why do so many of my dreams involve me having a gun...??? Or that there's random police officers???
