This isn't as much of a dream journal as it is a document of an attempt to lucid dream. I was lying in bed, ready to DILD. I had performed the following RC's on the same day:

• Pressing my tongue against my teeth
• Counting my fingers
• Looking at the clock
• Pushing my finger against my palm

When I was falling asleep, I noticed the darkness of my eyelids get darker with every few seconds that passed, darker than my surroundings (I was in a room with no lights. I started falling asleep at 1AM.) and it was like I was slowly blacking out. At some undiscernable point I had a picture form in my head (not a hypnogogic hallucination, it was...weird) where I was in the point of view of a soldier, holding that one rifle from ARMA 2 (I've been playing it for like a day straight, so that came as no surprise). My vision floated above the gun and the field of view went all botched and stretched and I felt like I was floating up. "I'm going lucid! I thought. But, I wasn't. After a little floating I realized I was still in bed, so desperate to dream that I'd somehow faked a lucid dream when falling asleep. Disappointed, I went to sleep, hoping to reality check and realize I was dreaming. I had Really's Ultimate MP3 on as well, hoping I'd do an RC by reminder if not by habit.

I woke up in the morning disgruntled. It was 12:01, and I was trying to remember a slice of dream. But I couldn't. I couldn't remember anything which happened during my sleep. Now here I am, angry and irritated. If you can think of something which would help me to remember my dreams, go ahead and comment with that information. I'd love to hear it.

Fragment:
I was on another relic hunt. This time, I was partnered up with some, really douchey 'hero.' He was a celebrity, or something, and was just so full of himself that I had to constantly restrain myself from choking the shit out of him. We were searching for precious stones and ancient jewelry, scouring through dark caves and tombs and whatnot. After all of our journeying, when we were finally able to find the treasure that we were looking for, he started acting like he was too good to even help carry any of it; saying something about how they were "just stones" and they were beneath him. I seriously just wanted to slap him.

Fragment One (Lucid):
(Damnit. I completely lost a lucid dream, last night. And from what I can remember, it was a pretty good one.)
I remember walking around at night, having just realized I was dreaming. I believe I was in an apartment complex, walking down the sidewalk, with patches of grass all around. There was a little light around - kind of blue-ish, but too bright to be moonlight - and my shadow was being cast, on the large white wall of buildings, to my left. Fortunately, I do remember looking at my hands, to stabilze the dream, which I've been trying to get back into the habit of doing. I tried to think of something to do, but I couldn't remember what the tasks of the month were, and I eventually recalled WakingNomad's RPG, and my Djinn character (which is another good thing, because we had just recently talked about it, and I was able to immediately think about it, upon becoming lucid - which is sometimes rare for me). While continuing to walk, I just inhaled, clenched my fists, and felt a surge of energy swell within me. Looking at the large shadow of myself, upon the wall, I could see that I now had the wild hair of my character, and even though I don't remember looking down, but I could tell that I was no longer wearing my shirt. Having this new sense of power, being back into the body of my Djinn, I lept into the air and went flying, searching for something to do.

There is a lot, around here, that I don't remember. The dream was very long, and had something to do with mutant vampire things... I can hardly even remember what they looked like - only that they were ugly. At least one of them were being held in some kind of wooden structure, down at the base of what I believe was a flight of stairs. I know that I interacted or had a conversation with one or more of them, but don't really remember a damn thing, other than that I was lucid. I do, specifically, remember reminding myself to go back over the events of the dream, so that they would be easier to recall, when I woke up.

(I vaguely remember waking up, in the middle of the night, and being too tired to get out of bed, to write my notes down. It's just an obscure blur of a notion, but I'm pretty sure it happened.)


Fragment Two:
Something about my mom having brought home food, after I'd just eaten something that I didn't really enjoy. She said something about if I wasn't going to eat it now, I couldn't have any of it later. So, not really all that hungry anymore, I still ate whatever of it I could.

Fragment:
Another ThunderCats dream, but all I can remember is seeing Cheetara whirling her bo staff around.

12/13/2010
Fragment
Don't remember much about this one at all. It was something to do with being on a God of War / Castlevania type of quest, battling creatures of the night and making my way through treacherous terrain. The main thing I remember is being on a high cliff face, having to scale the structure with my bare hands. There was a lot of cliff-hanging and crazy maneuvering, but most of the details are gone. In a hilarious twist, by the end of the dream, I was working in a childcare center, and I had to balance my time on the job with my mission; constantly checking the time and plotting out where my adventure would take me next, after I got done with my shift.

Something about having to climb over a massive mountain or something. I had to fight some kind of creatures of the night, and the whole thing kind of felt like God of War, or something similar. There was a lot of cliff-hanging and maneuvering. I just don't remember much. By the end, I remember having a job at like a childcare center or something, and had to balance being on time, with my mission.

Arrrgh! All these fragments are driving me crazy! For some reason I can't seem to remember anything these last couple weeks.

Fragment: Hanger
Non-lucid
NonDream Dream Lucid

I was in some sort of Sci-Fi spaceship hanger. Everything is metal and plastic. There are stacks of crates all over and a large freighter to my right. I am wearing a spacesuit and have the helmet in my hand. I put it on top of a crate and sit down on another crate. Two guys come in after me and do the same. Then a kid (probably 11ish) comes in and puts his small helmet in the open visor of one of ours. I remember my view zooming in to show the helmet inside of another. I get the impression that we are laying low from an angry woman (Possibly a supervisor or a wife or something)
We are lounging around, talking and whatnot. One of the guys mentions reading a headline in the paper that talks about a scientist that was imprisoned or maybe executed for 'stealing' a part of the rocket engine he was working on. He was in charge of the part and was told not to let anything happen to it, so he took it with him, and apparently got caught with it outside the lab.
The kid is hanging around me asking me questions in German. I answer him back in German as well. After some time, he wants to play this word game in German of course. I tell him I don't want to play (I speak German, but haven't had to in years, so I don't think I'll be good at the game) He starts begging me, pleading "Bitte, Bitte" I keep telling him 'No' (English now) and after a little bit more of this the dream ends.

Fragment- Kiddnapping Investigation
Non-lucid
NonDream Dream Lucid
I only remember flashes of this one.I'm getting out of a black, government SUV in a residential neighborhood. All the houses look very similar. Each is two stories, varying in color slightly from tan to gray with small front yards and large, fenced in backyards. Children's toys are strewn about each houses' backyards. I walk across the street, looking at the second story window of a house as I approach it. I'm being briefed by a man in a black suit and tie who has a discreet earpiece snaking up from his collar. He sort of reminds me of the agents from the matrix, except friendly I'm being told that this is the window from which the girl was taken. Apparently I'm investiaging a kidnapping.

The following I found written in my DJ, however I have limited to no memory on each point
Fragments:
-Kidnappers are extremely good; Very experienced
-Almost had to kill girl (No memory of this)
-Had to use 'Kiddie/Girly' Software to find her because that's what the Company forces their agents to use.

I got the feeeling that I was some sort of freelance agent hired to find this girl. I remember nothing regarding nearly having to kill the girl, and nearly nothing about the kiddie software. All I remember of the software is a pink screen with kittens and flowers on it.

Lucidity: 5/10
Nap DILD, napping in the room, get up and get in the shower, washing my hair, very warm in the shower. I go to rinse out my hair and when I feel my head the hair is dry, so I do a noseplug RC and it is successful. I realize that I am dreaming and decide to stabilize the dream so I rub my hands and say "stabilize my dream".. I try to look at the floor, off white tiles, very white/light bathroom. I get out very slowly for some reason, but I cannot open my right eye too well and feel uneasy. I cannot get my vision to adjust properly so I try to force my eyes to open up really wide and wind up opening my eyes and wake up!

11/16/2010
Fragment:
The only thing I really remember is that I was being detained by some group of people. One of them was this huge, hulk of a guy who looked like he might have been a butcher or something, judging by the filthy apron he was wearing. Most of the dream, I just don't remember, though I do recall one scene were lightning struck, somewhere on their property. I saw the bolt hit the building in slow motion. The electricity scattering across the area and ignited a combustible tank, causing a massive explosion, which injured at least one person. The whole thing played out in slow-mo, and I think I was watching from a disembodied perspective. That's about all I remember, though.

January 2, 2008

I ran into a store butt-naked because I needed some clothes. I had no money though either so I had to shoplift. Then I saw my basketball coach there and I was thinking to myself, Shit! If he catches me shoplifting I'm gonna be in trouble. Then I casually walked out of the store and he gave me a weird look.

October 26, 2005

A dart came flying towards me so in a frantic attempt to not get hit by it I smacked it down to the floor. It was filled with a liquid that was silvery like mercury. I broke the dart open, and touched the silvery liquid. I then decided to taste it for some reason. When it touched my tongue my whole body went numb and limp and dropped to the floor. Might I also mention that when my body went numb, a really strong vibration took over my body. I saw my dad standing there and he was just looking at me. I then proceeded to tell him, "This stuff is cool." Then it faded.

Okay tonight I had two memorable dreams. I was trying to WILD before falling asleep, but screwed up and fell asleep.

Dream 1 'KFC'
Non Lucid, Fragment
I was working super late at KFC, cleaning up the restaurant, pretty much sweeping and mopping for what felt like hours. [I don't work there anymore, but I did for a few years] The only strange part was that my old manager, present employees, and gradeschool friends were also there. We pretty much just walked around, swept, and talked the whole time.

Dream 2 'Inception'
Non Lucid
[I watched Inception 2 weeks ago, and was trying to WILD before bed, which is probably what brought on such a strange dream] Okay, a little backstory behind this dream. Apparently in this dream, there are 8 levels of consiousness, each of which are destroyed after a set period. If the inhabitants of the planet don't move on to the next level, they die [or something] The destruction of each level was prophesied so we had some warning. [It had something to do with the position of planets and stars in the galaxy... or something] I arrived in some sort of conference with all the inhabitants (maybe 200 - 300 ppl) in an outdoor amphitheater of sorts. There were charts on the wall depicting the position of the stars, like nebulae clusters. The speaker was talking about how we all needed to travel to the next deeper phase [I sort of remember him saying dream, but not sure] Maybe it was some kind of matrix realm, Dunno. Anyway, We were being reminded that the time was near and if we didn't go deeper, we would die. When traveling to the next phase, one must go down this humongous inflatable slide (Maybe 150ft tall), at the same time as they descend planes consciously. Nobody was quite sure on how to travel to the next phase, and people were going down the slide, and just flying off the end, and getting injured because it was so tall. I was nervous about going down, and didn't want to go until I was sure I knew how to do it. I started asking around, and me this DC who was a compilation of several of my friends, and we began searching and asking around for clues on how to descend. Eventually we came up with some ideas, and just as we were discussing them, we approached the slide to see my dad at the top. I was worried for him because others went down and were injured because they didn't do it right, and didn't descend to the deeper phase. Well he hopped on the slide and started rocketing down, but when he got near the bottom there was this swirl of color and light [Like using the 'New-U' stations on Borderlands] and he was gone. I got really excited and ran up to the ladder, though I was still nervous. I hopped on, and started down. I can't remember exactly what I did, but whatever I did worked, and there was this huge swirl of color and light, and I woke up.

This was my first night at attempting to write in a dream journal and recalling my dreams. I'll continue to do so in the future, but it's getting late, and I'm sleepy. I'm gonna try another WILD tonight, and maybe dream about zombies or something. G'night all!

Date: Sept.10-20
Time: NA

So I started school, it has been hard to remember dreams recently, I will remember some parts of it throughout the day as things will remind me of them. I need to get a schedule going for when I should practice my WBTBs, WILDS, and entering SP. There is one dream I remember quite vividly from a while ago.

Description: I haven't had any memories of recent dreams, but there are a couple of fragments I remember. So here they are in no particular order. Warning- Some are very short! Also I have a vivid memory of one.


Frag 1: Faking passing out in the middle of the class. I fell and was taken to the office to be sent home. I think I did it to get out of class.

Frag 2: Looking at the cars in the street in front of my house, one is mine, my brother's truck, the kia, and my sister's car. An officer is at the front door because of too many cars in one spot.

Frag 3: Running down the street away from something. I felt fear, but it never really turned to a nightmare.

Frag 4: Talking to somebody in my house, not much else comes to mind.

Frag 5: I am walking around my basement, K is there for some reason I want her to see my penis. So I undress while she walks in on me. I am now nude while she follows me. I grab a pair of shorts, and head outside. She chases me around the pool as I show her more of my now fully erect penis. Can't remember more, but pretty sure I almost had dream sex ha-ha.

Dream Fragment: I start the memory off walking toward the kitchen in my work, someone is beside me saying I need to finish it. He hands me a piece of glass that is shaped like a scythe, later I remember it felt more like cardboard. Someone walks past me so I follow them. I don't kill them for some reason, so I jump onto her back, she fights me. I chase her out to this big parking garage. Inside there are walls made of glass, I try to tell her I am trying to help her but she doesn't listen. So she gets into a car, and I break into one, and chase her some more. I dodge police cars, and social workers. I can't remember anything else.

Date: Sept.3

Description: This is just a fragment of the dream, unfortunately I was to lazy to write down the dream when i woke up from it, Cause I know I remembered more.

Fragment: I am in a classroom setting, that is also mixed with my house to. There is a project of some sort going on. I spot a pretty big spider that has a white coat, and black stripes on it. I chase and try to kill it around my house.

2) In one of my dreams I remember being in my kitchen and talking to my brother Jay. He said, "I remember when you were little I would pick you up and put you in your room when you fell asleep, and I would have chicken wings ready for you." I should of recognized this as a dream, because he did no such thing ha ha.

Type: regular dream.

I have to stop going to bed so late, my recall is suffering...

In this dream, I was on a computer. I was sitting in a chair inside some form of wooden cabin sunroom, and I was working on a website. The page looked normal, but there was a big fat bar at the bottom, like the status bar in Internet Explorer but thicker and had a number in the lower left corner. It was currently at "0.00", probably gauging money or something.

I closed the page I was working on, and the number changed to "-44.00", as if I were in debt for closing the page! I looked away to get something, and the number changed once more, becoming somewhere in the -200's. I remember flipping out because I didn't have the money to pay, and my mom would be so mad at me if she were to find out. What would I do?

Type: regular dream.

Notes:
I've been going on ebay and kijiji a lot over the past few days, mainly to set up accounts for selling my artwork.

All I can remember about this dream is that I was in front of some computer, and joined an art forum that had the same color scheme, except lighter blues, as Dreamviews. People would post their artwork in threads and ask people to rate them. I made a post in the newbie forum, and apparently I'd joined a few years back but didn't remember it. People said welcome back and stuff (even though my username was probably different). On the main page of the forum, there was a sidebar that said "site leaders", and there were three different icons of dragon heads; next to each image was one name.
