Thread: Dream Journal

I don't think that was a lucid dream. I had the same "though/feeling" I guess you would call it except mine wasn't a VISA Card, it was a shiny blue and white robot arm. I know what you feeling though, and you were probably somewhat concious when it happened. That probably explains you thinking of a lucid dream/lucidity.

Keep trying though. You'll get it.

Thanks for the comments

So I have noticed, at least for the last two nights, that I have a terrible time remembering images, but thoughts/sounds are ok. Like I woke up and remembered vaguely that my dream had been a conversation between me and my friend. I mentioned lucidity (stupid me missing the cue, I forgot and simply moved on) and she said "My grandmother is lucid!" It was sort of crazy, and I couldn't pick out exactly whose voice it was, but the words are very distinct in my brain, as was the conversation. The images, however, faded within a second of opening my eyes. I have no recall past one glance into my school hallway, so I'm guessing we were walking to class/doing something in school.
As with yesterday, I remembered immediatly after I woke up that I was trying to become lucid, but I only ever remember this after I wake up (AKA I'm not jolting out of a moment of lucidity because I'm excited, but rather I'm spacing it altogether).

I'll try harder tonight.

EDIT: that was my old school hallway and one of my old friends, I transitioned schools this year

Woah, this was instantly a notch above my previous dream recall. I was kinda skeptical about the whole “dream journal” thing, but man this has changed everything!!! Both dreams have their images stuck very well in my head, and I remembered long after I woke up. Again, as soon as I woke up after the second dream I thought “LUCIDITY”, but again it wasn’t even me rushing out of being lucid, just cursing immediately upon becoming conscious because I remembered I was supposed to be practicing.

I like the first dream best (the second one was a little surreal), and I have a more vivid image about that one as well. Fun dreams, I hope this recall trend will continue.

Dream 1- This one was the most distinct. I was older, and at a party with a guy who was my age (I know him in the real world, he is my age, has a girlfriend). Now this guy and me are familiar, and “loose” friends with each other. I’ll talk to him at school, we’ll sit next to each other, but it doesn’t go much farther. Anyway, we’re together at the party. As a couple. I had just watched a TV show about a couple breaking up and was literally watching the two of us do the same exact motions, but in a different setting. The lights in the dance room were really bright, and we walked outside to talk, sat down in my white sports car. Him and me kiss, hold hands, then decide it’d be better if we were apart. That’s when I woke up. Definitely interesting, because I’ve never had feelings for this guy before. Also, the images are very well implanted in my brain. Intense, and I’m kinda embarrassed to admit me and him looked really good together (even though we were breaking up).

Dream 2- The setting was very clearly at my barn. Here I lost some of the actions, but I do remember very clearly that we were “foxhunting”. But all the horses were taken out of the situation and we just took a fox out of a cage and let it loose, then sent some dogs after it. The fox was darker, almost a black color with hints of brown, but the white markings were as usual. It had a Mohawk… don’t ask me lol. The dogs were all normal. They ran around the pastures a few times, and I talked to my instructor, but I can’t recall a conversation very well. Again, the images were distinct.

Well I think I may have ruined it today by waking up and going back to bed. But I do remember one.

I was at my house with all my close friends when this guy I used to be on a sports team with showed up at my house. Me and my friends were out back on my trampoline and ran around to the front where his dad was dropping him off. He waved then came over and asked me out.

Freaky, and I kinda hate the guy.

Very vague today, but I'll try.

So I had another dream at my barn. This time, my mom dropped me off and walked away to somewhere. I went in the barn and there was a new addition on it with ten more stalls than it had had before. There was also a whole slew of horses that had never been there before. My instructor came over, gave me two baskets of bread (trust me I am laughing at myself as I type this) and told me to tack up my horse. It was one that is really at the real life barn. Well I dug through the baskets and found two notes. One said I was late on my payments for lessons, and I don't remember what the other said. I think I woke up after that.

My mind boggles me.

Well... One big long dream that kinda could have been segmented, but I don't remember entirely.

So I had one of my old friends over at my house and we were supposed to be working on a project. Me and him are good friends, so of course we were goofing off instead of doing our project. We did all sorts of fun things that I don't entirely remember until we ended up in a grocery store (WTF??? Lol I am confused) where we saw his dad. His dad said that he was never allowed to come over to my house again and that we were irresponsable.

Then they dissapeared and I turned into a turkey. I was with a bunch of other turkeys and we were running laps around the supermarket. The end of the race was this bin full of live turkeys where people would pull them out and take them home to eat. I finished third in the race and was in the bin when the scenery changed to my barn (gotta wonder why it keeps popping up in my dreams).

I saw my mom's car and the keys were in the ignition. This was when I remembered that I had just been forbidden from ever seeing one of my best friends again. I was so mad I got in my mom's car and went to drive home. Now my house is less than three miles away from the barn, but still: I'm 13. Driving my mom's car down the road.

Well I got home and saw my mom's real car in the driveway. The one I had driven back from the barn was someone elses and it looked exactly the same as my mom's. My dad came out and saw it and offered to drive it back for me (don't ask me why he didn't flip out because of my driving down the road, I don't know either). So I ran inside and went up to my room. There were some strangers in my house talking to my mom and they had parked two racecars out in the driveway. When I got into my room I opened my laptop and went to check my e-mail. There was one from my friend saying that he was so sorry, that I was an incredible person and that his dad was an idiot.

I woke up crying and ran to check my e-mail and make sure it was all a dream. My friend came over in real life today to work on the project and I was like "Stay on topic!!! Don't goof off!" He thought my dream was hilarious, but I was totally freaking out.

I find it amusing how often my old friends and the barn turn up in my dreams. I transferred school this year and have no real friends there, so maybe that plays into it.
