non-lucid

Well I think I found out the hard way that when you work out every day and don't eat enough... your body has a nasty way of telling you. I planned on using the new technique again last night, however instead of having vivid dreams that I became lucid in, I just had tons of scattered fragments that I didn't even bother recording. After that I even slept through my wake up alarm at 8:00 and slept until 9:30! Either way, I gotta eat a little more in the evenings I guess, cause just an apple for dinner isn't cutting it.

Anyways, here are the dreams from when I first tried the new technique...

#1 - I was in history class, and the teacher got up and reminded us all of the assignment that was due that day that we were supposed to do o ver the weekend. I had forgotten to do it obviously (since it's summer!) and I started reasoning with myself why was I even in school during summer vacation? I then rememebered the exact date and was like "I'm DREAMING"! Soon after that I got up and started walking around the classroom. I was focusing on just staying in the dream and not letting the rest of the class distract me and lose lucidity (like my DC's usually do). I then gave them all A's on thier papers cause I was in charge now that it was MY dream, and let them all go outside, away from me. Then after my victory I got woken up anyways by my mom cooking breakfast. -_-

#2 - As soon as I woke up though, I just went right back to sleep and re-entered the same dream. The room was a little different, but now there was a clock in there. I looked at this clock, and it was 8:00. I then looked away, and looked back for a reality check, and boom! 8:15 I then knew I was dreaming. Soon after another teacher entered and left a cell phone on a desk. I grabbed it and gave it back to her, saying she forgot it, but she just said it was her husband's and he wanted it left ther for some reason. Soon after though, I got woken up again by some sound from the kitchen.

#3 - I re-entered the dream and then looked at this same clock again. It worked like a charm, and I became lucid again. At this point I decided ti was tome to work on dream goals. I went and sat in the corner and focused. However, I got woken up again. Grr...

#4 - I was then in my room. I remember walking out the door and seeing the box for my Genesis. The box art kept changing and I knew I was dreaming. After this I went to the back porch to get outside and work on my dream goals. Woke up again though from breakfast being made.

#5 - Finally though, I re-entered this dream and was now standing on the back porch at my house. I remember watching all these cars going by, just like normal life. It was so life-like I wasn't sure if I was actually dreaming, but it was re-affirmed when some random person on a bicycle came by, tipped over, then just randomly kinda floated back upright and continued on. This strange occurrence assured me I was dreaming, and I wouldn't look like a fool trying to spin in circles and change the dream scene. However, I apparently don't have much experience changing the dream scene, as it didn't work and I just fell on my butt I then just sat for a minute and stabalized the dream. I then tried commanding the dream to change scenes, but right as I was doing this I got woken up again!

Well, I guess I only had 5 dreams But still, it was pretty awesome! I'm gonna eat more for dinner tonight so I have energy in the morning adn try this technique again! Can't wait!!!

See ya

Yep, you heard that right, I had 6 lucid dreams last night! They all seemed sorta chained together but eh, I was awake between each one so I call it 6!

Since it's getting late and I haven't had much time to record these on DV yet, I will do that tomorrow. But here is the technique I used to achieve this..

So last night I was reading about lucid dreaming and I came across this thing called the napping technique. It is really similar to a WILD except you stay up for a long time in between waking up
and going back to sleep. What I did was go to bed around 11:30. Then I set my alarm clock to get me up at 5:30. From this point I made myself stay awake for the next hour. I read out of my lucid dreaming book during this time to keep myself focused on dreams. When I first went back to bed, I remember having a non lucid for a second, then waking back up and realizing it. (or maybe I didn't wake up? I can't remember) Anyways, after this dream, my thinking during my dreams was VERY logical. Without giving away the first dream that started it, basically I was questioning why I was back in school, when it was June 3? (yes I remembered the exact date) Anyways, from there I became lucid. I kept waking up for some reason though during these dreams, but I was easily able to chain them together using a clock that was located in the room in the dream world. By then end I had had 6 dreams, and was VERY, VERY close to FINALLY meeting that individual I have been trying to for soooooo loooooong now.

Anyways, I found this technique to be the best thing since sliced bread, since it produced 6 lucids the first try. I'll log the dreams tomorrow, and hopefully alongside even more from tonight!

See ya

Well, I meant to post these the day they happened, but the internet went out when I was gonna post them so I am just now getting to it.
Also, these dreams all occurred after I started using the Equisynch brainwave demo, which I find to be very helpful. It is like the binarual beats I had been
using, but professional and much better and more relaxing.

We were having baseball tryouts or something and we were in this
huge gym. I was playing third base, but then I got benched.
Then soon afterwards a ton of other people started showing up
and it was a huge chaotic mess. It was really loud in this gym, and that's
about all I remember for that dream.

In the next dream I was on this train. I remember seeing the year 1935 somewhere.
Everyone on the train were like refugees from East Berlin or something, and they were
mainly little kids. It was wierd though cause there was a DVD player like you would
have hanging from the cieling in a car. I remember trying to play a movie but the
DVD was all scratched. Also, then I remember seeing all these kids randomly having sweet
laptops that SEGA on them though.

Another dream that was SEGA related was this guy giving an interview about the latest Sonic game I believe.
He was explaining something with the rings. I remember that I was actually holding some rings, and there were also
some special blue ones.

We were driving down the highway, when out of no where all of these tornados started appearing! We then pulled off into this little
town. I saw some people get into thier car to try and outrun the tornado, and I don't know what happened to them.
I remember right before our car got hit that I was really quickly trying to put on a coat for some reason.
Then it hit! The car NEARLY flipped, but didn't. Then I was concerend that my car was destroyed, but that was all I remember.

In this next dream I remember seeing someone scraping the side of my Sega Genesis box with scissors! This made
me really mad, cause that is a cool box! Anyways, that's all I remember from that one.

In the next dream I was riding motorcycles with some other guys. I got stuck on this little underpowered 500cc
that was really slow and hard to balance. I remember swerving all over trying to keep it upright.

This next dream I was at my house with eveyone from school. We were split in groups and my group won some award for paying
the most attention or whatever. Then out of honesty we said that we didnt deserve it.

As you can see, it appears that the Equisynch brainwave entertainment is working very well. I am really hoping to start having some more lucids again!

See ya

Well, last night I had a pretty interesting dream. The first thing I remember is that
I was working on my Sonic fan game in our shop we have at our farm. It was wierd though
because instead of typing up code on the computer I was servicing our front end loader! However
for some reason this loader represented my code and I thought nothing of it at the time.
(too bad b/c that would be a good 'wtf?" moment for a lucid)

Anyways, then my programming teacher just randomly walked in and I showed him all the progress I had
made on my game since the last time he saw it. I remember walking him through everything I had
done the day before in real life. (hehe I really DO dream in code sometimes. )

I remember telling him all about how I had gotten acceleration, firction, and deceleration finished
and that I was working on calculating some angular velocities w/ Trig. I also remember telling
him about some code that my friend had written for file saving / reading.

After this I was now randomly in my room watching a video about a guy explaining his game he was making
that was a tower defense game. I think that I was dreaming this because in real life a friend and I are making
one of these as well, once I finish up my Sonic fan game. It was pretty interesting because in this video the guy
was explaining all the cool game elemtns he had implemented, such as being able to take control of one of your units
to fight the bad guys. He also had parallax scrolling and stuff like that, and all of this is stuff that we are going to put
into our game using the engine I have for my Sonic game.

Overall, these dreams weren't exactly thrilling, but it was cool to be able to work on my code while I was alseep.

See ya

The 28th I couldn't remember much unfortunately. :-/

We were having the fried chicken for lunch at school. The chef did not know
what he was doing however and came and asked me to help him prepare it. Wierd.
Then after lunch I was walking down the hallway and everyone was throwing thier trash
on the floor.

After this dream I was back home. I remember being accused by my parents for selling
illegal items on the internet. 0_o

Then I actually woke up and heard it raining outside so I went back to sleep cause, who wants to
work out in the rain?

I then had one quick dream before I woke up again and all I remember is that I grabbed all the
video games out of my desk and ran away from home. Strange stuff to run away with.

Sechdule:
11:30 - Go to bed
7:39 - Wake up, hear rain, go back to sleep
8:30 - Get up and work out

See ya

I remember that I was in this large dance hall with about 20 other.
We all lined up and stood on each other's shoulders and did this huge dance.
I remember that I was standing on two other guy's shoulders and I was at the end.

The next dream I remember was that I was in Latin class and had a copy of Unleashed with me.
That's about all I remember for that dream.

Schedule:
12:00 go to bed
Woke up around 3:00 AM
Went back to bed w/o headphones however. :-/
Got up 7:45 and worked out

Well, last night I can remember some basic gameplay from my Sonic game, although in real life it is no where near this stage.

Pretty much just one long dream with many scenes last night.

I was driving in the mountains and I was driving by this ranch for some reason. I decided to follow a private drive into the place, and then came up to an electric fence. I got out and unhooked it, then drove through. I came across the owner of the property and he went and showed me a lake he had. He had this huge boulder in the middle he wanted me to make an island out of. For some reason the Statue of Liberty was also randomly laying on its side in this lake.

However, before I could decide how to build this island, a game warden or someone showed up and complained I had brought some dangereous species of leech into the lake somehow, and ordered me to be flushed down the outlet of the lake. I had a little oar boat so I climbed in and paddled on over to the outlet. I then wen rushing down it as if it were a water slide, all while still in my boat. Then it turned into a video game for a second and I had to avoid obstacles and collect rings on my way down. I finally mad it down however, and I was in this water park.

I then went over to get a tube to go down the next slide and then the place turned into an arcade.Then I was plaing this random Lego game with some peeps and I was owning them. Then I randomly went aroud and counted how many of the machines were made by Sega, and it was over half. I woke up from this dream sometime while I was walking around looking at all the games.

Last night I can recall two dreams.

1. It was night and I was at this random girl's house I had never met. For some reason though it was like she was my GF or something. Anyways, despite my lack of interest in such things in real life, we were very excited for her parents to leave so we could um... get to business. *wink wink* Anyways, her parents finally left and then we went outside on a trampoline and had quite some time.

After this dream I woke up from REM wondering wtf I had just done. Quite frankly I was apalled with myself that I actually let that happen, but I guess it was just one of those dreams I couldn't control.

2. I was in this little town and rumors were going around about this disease or something that had infected a few residents. I was then at the hospital of this town and a girl there got REALLY angry over something very trivial. (can't remember what it was) Anyways, she then changed into this HUGE and quite frightening beast that started on a rampage through the town. I remember that everyone madde it out of the hospital however and we went around telling everyone in the town to evacuate. I then remember getting my car keys out of my pocket and after making sure everyone else had left, I went and drove off myself.

For some reason everyone had decided to meet at this large international airport. We all made it there safely and then found a phone to get ahold of the military to go bomb the town and kill the monster. However, i then remember just BARELEY escaping this plane that flew literallt about a foot over my head and then had a rough landing. Then there was a large earthquake as the beast made its way to the airport. Thankfully, a couple of Abrams had shown up by then and blasted it to pieces. I can then remember watching some soldiers carry the remains to a forest to bury them there for some reason.

Had a ton of dreams last night.

1. I was driving out on this country road looking to see if there were any pheasants in the area we always hunt. (Opening day of pheasant season is this weekend). Anyways, i then came across this strange bend in the road, and there was this huge mining oporation, where they were mining for aspirin. SUddenly the road turned into a hole and the car fell in and I just barely made it out. I can then remember just kinda sitting there for a while and eventualy it dawned on me that maybe I should ask for some help.
I called out and then some random girl started walking over to help me out. Then this other dude came over and gave me a hand. As he pulled me up though, he suddenly pretended to stab me. I asked what the "HELL" he was doing, and he said it was for a movie, and I should just go with the flow. Anyways, we then redid the scene and as he pulled me out, I apparently was supposed to stab the girl, which in turn made him stab me. Apparently my acting was a sucess and the dream ended.

2. It was snowing very heavily outside and I was with a bunch of friends. We were filming this cartoon or something, and then we went to this random arcade set up out in the middle of nowher, that appeared to be some backwoods cabin. Anyways, we went to this arcade and started up all the machines. I remember there was this one Sonic pinball one though, that I had rigged beforehand, and when we turned all the machines on, it glitched out and I won by an enormous score. After that I departed to my grandma's house which was conviently located right next to the arcade. I can then remember watching some old cartoon ( I believe it was Sonic X) that I used to watch when I was just a lil' tyke.

3. I was at our shop with my motorcycle and some other random dude. We were debating what would be the best way to fit all this stuff we needed to park in there. I remember jumping in a UTV to park it inside, and then somehow the ground magically shifted so I was parking in the correct spot. Once we had parked everything we went over to look at this jet ski. The wierd thing is that I can vividly remember some numbers entering my mind. The jet ski's odometer was at 193 for the current trip, and the craft was of 250cc displacement. Then, I remember resetting the trip meter, and watching the dial spin past all the numbers until finally resting on zero. ( I wonder if this was related to the shared dream at all?)

4. I had this giant propane tank that I was trying to detonate underwater to see if it would kill this whale I believe. I was underwater to see this thing go off (smart right?). Anyways, it detonated without a problem, but it didnt kill the whale. I then remember that I needed to come up for air or else i was gonna drown. however, there was this big iceberg blocking my path and I paniced. I couldn't hold my breath any longer and inhaled... except... I could breathe!!! Right then I was like... wtf? I must be dreaming! However, I then realized I actually had a diving mask of some type on allowing me to breathe, so then al my chances of lucidity were gone. I then remember randomly coming up to the surface and seeing the whale repeatedly jump up, land on the iceberg, then slide back down into the water.

5. I was at the store looking for a bag to put my friend's birthday present in. He is a fellow Sonic fan so, conviently, all the bags matched accordingly.

6. Playing Unleashed... Cool Edge Night Stage... Punched a snowman... S RANK! (i have no idea how that happened. hehe)

I believe I had at least one or two more dreams, but I forgot to record them when I woke up from REM so I can only recall these two from this morning...

1. I can faintly remember being at school and fomr some reason I had my mp3 player. Then I sddenly became concerned with this huge know the headphones had become, and asked my college counseler to untangle it for me. To acieve this, he simply stared pulling as hard as he could, and then I promptly asked for my earbuds back before he could brake them

2. I was at the mall downtown outside the Chinses restaraunt. I had just come outside to get back on my bike and go home. Then I remember some idiot getting on my bike and somehow starting it ( i had the keys AND had locked it to the side) and trying to drive off! However, then he crashed into a nearby car. THen it was wierd because he kept on pushing the car, despite the bike being totally wrecked. He then tried running everyone in the parking lot over, but then the bike finally died.

Although I rarely curse in real life, in dreams for some reason the profanity just flies, so I remember running over and cussing him out saying "Man what the f***! THis bike only had 1100 miles on it!" And... "you a**h***!!!", etc... Anyways, then the cops showed up, arrested him, and that's all I remember.

Last night was filled with many dreams.


1. I was watching a movie about this guy who had jumped out of an airplane in outer space to skydive to another planet. Then the rest of his team followed him and they all began freefalling down this very long chasm and then just kind of hovered near the bottom. THen they all of a sudden they got bound by these mystical ring things that wouldnt let them go, and then out of no where a bunch of tentacle things broke through the wall, impaled everyone, and then ripped them apart. I remember in the dream though saying the special affects were horrible. Anyways, then there was the main landing party on the surface and they suddenly heard static over the radio. Then the creatures broke through the surface of the planet and grabbed everyone else and smashed / ripped them as well. Weirdly, there was this one lady though who had pepper spray and this for some reason warded off the aliens when nothing else would.
The aliens were really wierd cause they were these fat women, but they could run really fast. Annyways, they kept chasing this one lady until she went and hid under a truck or something and one of the aliens had sympathy and guarded her.

2. Someone wanted to watch this zombie movie so I went and started it for them.

3. Another video game dream with Sonic and Eggman in it. Can't remember what was going on

4. I was at a Runza restaraunt. I finished eating and went outside. Then this really wierd guy with a backpack started trying to open my trunk when I got in and jack my car or something. I immediately started it and backed up, sending him flying. Then I drove out of the parking lot and began merging onto the highway and calling the police.

5. I had been invited to a friend's birthday party through Steam and we were all gonna go to a disco thing, although that is the LAST place I would imagine my actual friends going. Anyways, then about 10 random friends came online and then another one invited me to thier birthday party. We all went to the second friends house and then I was holding this foam thing and they were all throwing baseballs at it. Then we were all randomly at this park and there was a big cannon in the middle shooting HUGE lacrosse balls at everyone.

6. I was checking the job opportunities for Sega of America website, and they had filled 3 of ther 7 open positions overnight.

1. I was playing Sonic Unleashed and was on the Mazuri daytime stage. I remember that then I kinda was in the game, but still controlling with like an invisible controller, but still interacting directly at the same time... ugh.. hard to explain but ya. Anyways, as I was there then there was this big track to drift around so I did that and then ended up in this house type area and was tried ground stomping these door things to get inside these closet areas in this house thing.

2. I was going down the hallway at school, and as I went down the stairs they turned into an onramp for this highway, except it was for people to run on! Anyways, I went around the cloverleaf and merged. Then the highway went underground and I remember it being super busy. It was kind of pointless though considering that people can only run like 12 mph or something. Idk.

3. I was in Denver with some friends, and we were going to go on a tour of a battleship! (Don't ask me why the Misouri river was going through Denver). Anyways... we got into these little cart things and they rolled down a track that was REALLY high in the sky, had to be at least a mile, just straight over the city. To make it worse there were no guard rails. I remember looking over the edge and telling my friend to help me hold on to the edge of the track, which also happened to be JUST BARELY the width of the cart.
Anyways, we finally made it down to the battle station and met the Captain of a ship. We climbed aboard and went sailing down the river. I remember going through a lock system (like in the Eerie Canal) and eventually the ship took off and started flying. At this point I was hanging n for dear life, although it was kind of from a third person perspective, as we flew. THen we came in for a crash landing and I prayed not to get squished by the ship if we landed upside down. We bonced about 50 times and finally came to a stop. I can remember some very loud noises as we crashed.

4. I was watching the news (after the election was over), and Romney had won. I remember he was on a Ford commercial showing support for how they hadn't taken the bailout and how he was very proud to represent an American made company. Then I wsa randomly driving this brand spanking new F-150 down the road and then these rednecks came right up on my bumper. I shouted out the window for them to pass already or get off my tail and then they hopped into the bed of my truck like they were gonna hijak it or something. THen I swerved and sent 'em all flying.

1. I was an ant and our colony was being threatened by a forest fire. We were upset because the only guy who could stop it, some CIA guy, had been brainwashed or something and we were helpless.

2. I was at a SEGA business meeting.

3. I was down at our shop and I was listening to some music. I had my earbuds in and then my boss asked me to take them out for a minute. I took them out but I could still hear the music perfectly fine, and it was drowning out my boss. (I think my earbuds were still in in real life)

4. I was having school at my house. First period was at the house, and then I had to run down to my locker (at the shop on the other side of our farm). I was amazed that I had usually been able to do this, and it almost made me lucid. however, the bell was about to ring so I was in a rush and didn't really notice. Then I realized I was forgetting something and went running back. I had this very strange speed limiter problem like usual though. No matter how much work I put into moving... I just can't physically move my legs much faster than walking. Anyways... I was in the 'hall' (the middle of our driveway) and the bell rang as I was headed to next period.

5. There was this random humming bird thing in our backyard that turned into a dog and I went outside to pet it and play fetch or something.

6. Someone was wanting to make another Sonic cartoon based off the second game, or this upcoming project, Sonic 2013. (hmm... I wonder if this was a prophecy of things to come??? hehe )

Well, that's all I had last night.

See ya

Last Night I had 4 dreams that I can recall...

1. I was at a CAP meeting and it was all dark and scary looking. For some reason everyone was all emotional and hugging eachother as if some huge catastrophy had just occurred

2. I was at home and went for a walk in the middle of the night. This little dog came and scared the daylights out of me. THen this other absolutely huge dog followed it and started attacking me. Somehow my mp3 player turned into a .45 and I can remember loading the cartridges in as if it were a shotgun. Then I remember telling the dog to go away or I would let him have it.

3. I was in this Godzilla movie or something and I remember the monster came charging through town and I watched some peeps get stepped on and squished.

4. I was in a horror movie or something. I don't really remember anything about this one.

As you can see... some pretty dark dreams last night. Idk what it was all about, but I am in the mood for a video game dream or something fun. Here's to having another adventure tonight that is pure fun.
