Not a sausage again! I blame my wife she nudged me at 0655 saying 'Better get up and run the boy's bath'
Not an ideal awakening for recall, shes a wee monkey!

I was walking through a shopping centre or suchlike. A wee wifie with short blonde hair was to my left. We were going to the same place ( wherever that was..) I said to her 'Do you want to hold my hand?' she said forcefully 'NO!' Three young lassies appeared to her left and she said quietly 'Oh, no...' We walked on and turned to the right which led to a room with a low ceiling. There was a big queue of people at the back, next to a man sitting doon. There was an Asian lassie standing nearly in the queue which confused the two of us somewhat.


With my wife - we decided to watch one of my favourite films - 'The Poseidon Adventure' - The film was a special 'directors cut' - All the scenes on the bridge weren't present. The wall of water appeared as IRL, however it took AGES to hit the ship (I was thinking at the time it was a bit ridiculous - no RC of course!) before the wave hit there was a scene of the reverend (not played by Gene Hackman, but by a tall slender guy with clark Kent glasses) holding a very slim bible with a cross on the front, wallowing in a few feet of water and sayng some religious stuff which I now forget. I had it in my head that it was Edward Woodward (which it was not) and noted he was born in 1905 (which he was not) It then cut to a scene with an auld dear hiding behind a mattress saying 'Oh God' It then cut to a helicopter reporting on the event, it veered past an island where loads of people were standing making a shape similar to a lollipop. I then turned to my wife and said 'This directors cut is rubbish, they've cut all of Leslie Neilson scenes'

Friday night - Fragment - two yellow boxes astride pram wheels rolling doon the road

- Standing at the back of my house. My neighbour got out her car, her hair was very long and bushy. I was thinking it looked odd. I had a couple of boy ties to give her. She didn't know aboot it and seemed annoyed when I said her husband had ordered them. The package had some digits on it. She asked how much they were but I coudnt get the words out.

sat night - Had a big pile of cheques written for my work. My friend appeared and I had one for him, but realised I had written the wrong total.

- Just bought an old Sega Master System. It came with a lot of games. The boxes were very colourful and shiny and a long rectangular shape. I had Alex Kidd and Sonic the Hedgehog cartidges sans boxes and was a bit annoyed by this.

- Some fragment regarding a man converting old gamebooks into computer games.

rubbish stuff -

No' much - grrrr

Birdwatching fragment. Driving near my house and a pair Magpie flew over, past some trees. I was excited them being so close to my house (Magpies are scarce where I live, believe it or no'!!)

At an unfamiliar playpark with my son. Holding him whilst standing on the steps to the chute. It bordered a big wire fence. Through the fence was an expanse of grass. There was a crowd of people. A wee girl was standing there fixing me with a stare. My son gave her a wee wave. My wife called from somewhere 'This park must get awfy busy!' I turned around, the park was really tiny and there was a road junction just yards behind me. I said 'No I don't think so', noting that there was a complete lack of litter everywhere.

Non Lucid (surprise.)

Two tiny fragments - being on the phone.

Pointing out a freckle on my sons hand.

Then at 0430 I woke up, did a wee-wee then back to bed for a WILD

My WILD attempt lasted an hour - didn't get lucid but had three wee 'dreamlets' which were interesting as in each case I was watching the events (TV) and realised it was a dream which broke the dream each time.

1) approx. 10 seconds - The two main cast in Ressurection walking in the woods. A voice came over the mans walkie talkie and told them to stop working together.

2) approx. 1 minute - a doctor who documentary about sound. In the directors gallery. A close up of a gear stick with the numbers 1 - 4 on it. The director started calling out some numbers. The sound man cued in the original theme live ( I was thinking, what if it went out of sync) and then the next shot was of a man in a quilted brown jacket with a wee rod leaning out a window operating a puppet or something - very VIVID but very dull.....

3) approx. 10 seconds - a fat American man in a red t shirt who commented on Scotland but called it England .- grrrrrr

three rubbish wee fragments only.....

1) opening the cupboard in the kitchen to get fish food - the tub wasn't there.....

2) a creepy old man all naked doing a terrifying dance.

3) Rolf Harris on the telly (I was thinking that that wasn't right....)

Non lucid - but VERY vivid.

Sitting in a spacious airy room. The pal who was in my dream yesterday was there. My mum was in a chair opposite me, She had a big present in her hands that looked like a wrapped sweetie. I turned to my friend and asked him if my member of staff had been away too long for her lunch. He reckoned she'd only been away 15 mins. I then saw her through a glass door to my right. I went through and she followed me through a wee corridor to the left.

Dream drifted away to some rubbish aboot Dragons and flying aboot - not sure if it was mebbe a computer game or a film or something.

Then me and said employee were sitting on a settee watching my brains version of 'The Phantom Menace' on a really big telly. Yoda (who was aboot seven foot high, really skinny and had big dark stupid looking eyebrows) was standing behind a podium of some sort talking to three aliens. There was no sound and my employee remarked to me - 'Yoda is really rubbish in the Phantom Menace isn't he' The three aliens walked toward Yoda. The one of the left was obese and had a green head with a face on the back.

Fragment - I asked a man if he'd like a drink - He said 'Aye, I'll hae a Peter please'
I said - 'A Peter? - no problem' feeling a wee bit confused as I had no idea what a Peter was....

DC's are great, even when i'm non lucid!

non lucid x 4

A lassie I kent fae school walked up to me. She had beige/stone jeans on. Her face had what I presume was meant to be makeup but was a big greasy yellow mess. I greeted her and said I hadn't seen her for a while. She agreed. I said there was something?? she should go to, and she said she would.

I had just bought a wee loch. I was away to visit it. As I walked down a path I was thinking it would probably be flooded out coz I had just cleared out the burn that runs into it. Once there I met a vague friend I know IRL. He was either standing or in a boat, not sure. He said further down was a quagmire. I asked for another friend, she was 'further up' but wanted money for some new fishing gear! To my left,, there were big glass screens, I thought there should be water there, but instead there were some birds - Chestnut Mannikins. I thought to myself, wheres the water??? I took a wee walk back along the path with my friend who commented that the path was more hilly than he thought.

A fragment where a man I know was standing beside me with a bucket.

Another fragment where I was reading a two page spread about Duck Billed Platypus - it said under no circumstances should you touch their bills.

In a hall selling nothing but old books. they were stacked on huge tables. There were even more under the tables. I spied a heap of 'Broons books' (I collect them IRL) I picked them up, think there were six. I remember thinking I would have them all, but turned out I needed them all! The covers were bland and very shiny. There was also a 'Topper' annual from '73 which had the distinctive Broons spine. I called my wife over and asked if I could have them. I opned them up and in a big white circular sticker on the inside page it turned out they were £3 each. The wife said that would be ok but I would have no money left. I picke dthem all up with the intent to buy and carried them to a wee wifie who was sitting down. I think there was a queue. As I stood there I took another look at the Toper book and thought that I had the '73 edition. I then thought - ach well it must be another year I have.

Lots of thinking and near misses for lucidity there I think. However..

Earlier in the night I couldn't sleep so thought id be as well to practise a WILD - I know its borderline a waste of time when you first go to bed but I've been struggling to find a good position. I just lay there nice and still, no mantra because I wasn't bothered if I fell asleep. After a while I look at my eyelids and could discern blobby shapes. Suddenly

I handed a bokk to a woman, she opened it and inside were letters in my handwriting and also my mums. I reached for them and it all clicked 'Wait a minute this is a -'

and that was it. From what I gather from this forum, that's probably about the most substantial dream I was going to get at that time of night anyway! - Pretty chuffed with that though!

Thought I had no recall, but manged to pull a tiny fragment oot of my mind... (I was feeling knackered last night)

fragment (non lucid) - In the shop as per. Tidying up some shirts, I then notice out the corner of my eye that one of my ex staff members has turned up (with another lassie) and she looked stunning! - I then felt a bit nervous coz we hadn't parted in the best of terms.

that's my lot.

Non lucid - but lots of thinking...

On a plane with my bairn and my faither. I suddenly noticed the plane had attached itself to a conveyor belt at a level with the tops of some buildings. I sat with interest while it travelled around. My wee lad asked his Grandad what the belt was, but my auld man couldn't get the words out. I sat wondering how on earth an aeroplane managed to attach itself to a belt while flying, and also I was thinking what a mess the undercarriage must be in - still didn't make me lucid though! - Bit fuzzy but then we were walking somewhere and I was pleased to have arrived in Spain.

With my friend outside in some grass somewhere - a lot of IRL stuff - but basically I was telling him stuff that he knew fine already as we experienced such things together, he was standing with a blank expression. Shortly after I felt bad and ignorant for forgetting that he had been involved - a couple of good dreams with some deep thinking for me.

Also a wee fragment of a moany auld man moaning about a particular bus stop on the way to Dundee.

After a couple of very encouraging nights, just a few wee bits of confused rubbish

On Facebook - which then wasnae , as it goes. Some poem on the screen which then became a bit of card detailing a boys fishing expedition for sharks. I wish I could remember it as in my dream I thought it was rubbish! - There was a wee flap in the middle of the card which said turn over or something...

Same dream later, I think - playing a computer game which involved the Bash Street Kids form the Beano. Part of the game was to use the mouse to click on all the rubbish they were spilling everywhere. While I was playing there was an issue with my vision. Anyway, I remember starting off playing pretty methodical and clicking on everything, then getting a bit bored.

One wee fragment - a real life bit of normality where I was helping my wee boy to change into his jammies.

Hopefully some better stuff the night

Non lucid etc

Standing in a room with the man who lives above my shop IRL. the room resembled my old sitting room but was in the wrong town. He had an old newspaper and said to me 'I see we're being called 21 and a half in here' I tried to look at the newspaper but struggled to read it - the bloody DC seemed to be deliberately holding it at an awkward angle!

(Note - IRL at the moment I am trying RC while reading... looks like i'm mebbe getting there.)

Standing outside my shop. There was an anniversary of sorts and a machine gun was going to let off 50 rounds. It was automatically going off at the side of my shop heading down the street. I was thinking to myself it was a bit unsafe!! I was standing beside a people carrier. A woman walked within ten feet of the gun and was unharmed! Indeed she was smiling. I entered the shop with my wife and two friends of mine. I started panicking in a light hearted way as the alarm system buttons had been replaced with a bit of cardboard. My friends started laughing. I found the buttons on the top of the machine, and entered the numbers for one of our other shops- it worked however, though no sound was heard when I pressed the buttons. I then went to the cupboard where the light switches were. It was a bit of a struggle getting in, but I flicked all 13 switches as IRL and they all worked perfectly - Bah!!! (I had been trying switches as an RC as well - hmm) I then went through to our other dept with the three others - My female friend said 'Steven, thank you - this is fun' - I gave her one of my patented stupid wee salutes. Next door my wife told us about a sandwich someone gave her the other day 'Flies, mushrooms & Pig' - I think I repeated what she said. Bit of a gap but then a customer came in and I noticed the lights weren't switched on in the other dept yet.

An interesting couple of dreams - I have the feeling my subconscious is trying its best here - what with DC's acting stupid, things for me to read and light switches to flick - hopefully i'll get another lucid soon!!

Not much this time - non lucid

Walking past a forest I know. My friend told me he used to live in a house in the forest. I was thinking that wasnae very guid and they'll end up ruining the forest by building a town in there or something. We stopped and looked at a field with a ditch in front. There were loads of people doing something or other. One of the people wore a funny hat and was very wee. We sat on the top of the ditch and the wee lad came out and started talking to us. (rubbish as far as I can mind)

Something about my mums best friend and a wee baby.

Sitting on a window ledge in a room with a couple of people. I was thinking aboot getting old for some reason.

Recall no' bad - all non lucid though

My best friend form Primary school had died. I was standing in a big room thinking that I hadn't seen or spoken to him for ages, then I minded that id been talking on facebook with him. I got sad. Anyway, I had a job to do. I had a big broom and was to make the place bonny. A woman I kent fae college turned up talking really loudly, I telt her to shut up and dunted her with the broom. I then went outside and started sweeping. It had been raining and it was tricky to get the fags ends oot the road. A lad I kent told me to start sweeping inside, I telt him I wanted to finish my job.

Daft one - SElling stuff on a step outside. Two woman appeared. One was middle aged and no' bad looking. She wanted a swimsuit for her bairn. I had just thrown them oot apparantley. I had a land line outside. I tried phoning my uncle. I could hear him, but he couldn't hear me. The woman wandered off (she had tight white trousers on) She came back with a book or something. I got the phone working - My uncle didn't have the costume.

Fragment from possibly same dream where I asked a woman to guess my age - she said 40.

Another one. I came out my car which was beside a big wall with an arch. Another uncle was there. He asked if I had the new 'Space' album. I said I did. He still proceeded to look for his - so I showed him my CD box - which was left on the passenger seat of the car as per IRL. I asked if he had the single I got with it - though when I looked it turned out to be the second part of the album and had tracks listed on the back in red from track 30 upwards.

Fragments

Opening my boys bedroom door, and seeing him whizz roond his room all dressed in green jumping from wee ledges. I was a bit worried he would hurt himself.

A very promising one where I was in the car (where I do most of my RC) thinking of a dream my pals had just described. I was impressed with the detail they gave... it was something to do with an attachment on the top of a car.

One can only hope a dream about someone describing a dream is a guid sign!!

Non lucid stuff again...

Standing at the edge of a huge field, there was a path to my left. A couple of young lassies appeared who were wardens of some description. We said hello to each other then they got on with whatever it was. I heard a gunshot. I mind being comforted by their lack of reaction. I then noticed the shooter at the other side of the big field. He appeared to be aiming his gun at me. I wanted to reach for my binoculars but didnae for some reason. The figure then walked passed me at the foot of the field, he had a dog with him. As he walked past me at an elevated position through long grass/reeds he said to his dog 'We need tae shoot all the rats boy.'

fragments

Standing in a wee room, a late middle aged wifie with a familiar face to my right. I had a fusty looking navy hat I was trying to exchange. The woman insisted I would have to bring my wife with me, but then I produced the receipt on a shiny bit of paper and she seemed ok with it.

Something aboot being in a shopping centre with my wife.

Something aboot walking along a corridor with some guy and he insisted in taking all his clothes off....
