Warrior Tiger's Visions of Misconceptions
My main goal right now, as it has been for the last week, is simply to remember my dreams. After I can remember at least one dream a night I will try to become lucid.
My color coding will be as follows:
Non-Lucid
Semi-Lucid
Lucid
Note: Some of my non-lucid dreams will be in all black. This is for dreams that have no lucidity change.
Since I am becoming a lot better at remembering my dreams, I now am going to be continually trying to become lucid. I have done it a few time accidentally. I look forward to my new journey :)
And now (1/07/10) onto trying to continually share dreams.
9/29/09 The One With All The Marbles
This dream was completely non lucid. This dream occurred from a nap, one too short in my opinion :lol:.
I was watching four people play cricket. It wasn't so much cricket as it was cricket-golf. The same rules applied as cricket, but it was laid out on a long course much like golf. Three of the people I knew and coached, one of them I didn't. Each of the players had different colored balls. The colors were red, blue, white, and green. Each player had four stones and was trying to get them into the hole at the end of the course. I was worried about the game because the red player was an evil cricket playing demon and my players had to defeat him, in the game, in order to save the world. We were apparently Wicccan cricket players. As the game went on, with my players doing okay, the day faded into night. It was a rule that no one was allowed to play during night so the game was put on hold. My players walked up to me, a bit disappointed with how the game was progressing. I told them not to worry because I remembered something important about this particular game. This was the one with all the marbles.
NOTE: This was never explained and I still don't understand the significance.
The night progressed and I remember sitting at dinner with the team members. Some were worried about the demon using magic to increase his chances of winning. That is when someone else brought up that we should do magic to increase our chances of winning. I told them that this was a bad idea because magic should not be used for personal gain. The night faded out, and at some point I slept but I was suddenly awake and at the course again. Both my team and the demon had used magic the night before and all of the stones ("golf balls") had doubled in amount. What started out as four was now eight. The red player hit his ball and was doing well. The white player hit his and the ball went the opposite direction that he had hit it. I thought this was strange but my significant other's phone went off and I woke up.
10/1/09 Mermaids and Stoves?
This dream happened a while ago, but I haven't been able to put it up until now :(. This dream is also completely non lucid.
I was with my friends, Jen, and Karen. Katie was missing and Karen needed help finding her. I didn't think this was unusual so Jen and I said we would help her find her sister. We were traveling around a jungle, but it wasn't hot. I wondered why Katie had gone off to the jungle. I also wondered how we had gotten there, but didn't spend too much time thinking about it. We were walking around, just looking for Katie when we came across a river. We traveled down the river, first walking in it, then walking along the bank when it got to deep.
I didn't thing it was strange when we came across a waterfall. I also didn't think it was strange when the only way down was to jump into the water, off the fall. We did. I held my breath and shut my eyes. The world blackened around me and I took the plunge. As is my habit when ever I jump from any height into water I counted how long it took. It took 2 seconds. I remember thinking that it was an awfully short fall considering how far it looked. I came to the surface and looked around. Jen and Karen had made it safely. We were then pulled down, under the water. I didn't struggle, but let it happen and just held my breath.
Soon we were in a large city, under the sea. There were mermaids all over the place and I thought that it was pretty sweet. Jen looked at me at peace before she was ushered away. Karen and I had to wait before we saw her again. She was a princess of the mermaid and they were glad we had brought her home. This puzzled me but I was okay with that. We explained to the mermaid king that we were looking for our friend Katie and he pointed out where we needed to go. We headed off and soon found ourselves in a tunnel. There we stoves, a lot of them, and we weren't being electrocuted.
NOTE: Again with water and not being zapped. Missed dream sign?
I could see very large fish and wondered what they were. When I took a closer look I could tell that they were piranha. I thought it was strange that they were nibbling on the stoves. I looked at Jen. She was next to a large, locked gate. She told me I needed to open it and that I needed to hurry. I told her it was okay and I would open it. The piranha then started to attack her, and I made sure to move quickly. I opened the gate and all the water rushed out of it. This wasn't strange and we were swept along with the giant fish. Soon the water just trickled and we kept walking along the tunnel. We came to another waterfall and we jumped it. This time it took 4 seconds to hit the water. When I came to the surface I could see a lot of people. Karen asked someone if they had seen Katie and I swam over to here. The world went black as I woke.
NOTE: We were all able to breath underwater, which I think is a dream sign, and I hate jumping or swimming in water that I can not see the bottom of. This would have never happened in real life because I wouldn't have jumped off a waterfall.
I had been dreaming of water a lot. I keep asking myself if there is some sort of reason why I am. Haven't found anything yet.
10/12/09 Dragons and Merlin
NOTE: This is a shared dream with Raven. I also don’t remember too much and I wasn’t lucid.
I had started at Stonehenge but quickly was somewhere else. I was wielding a sword. The sword had been given to me by my father. I was wearing the king’s armor; a shiny silver plate mail shirt with a lion’s head engraved in it. I needed to find Merlin; he is a powerful mage healer. I didn’t know why, I just knew I needed too.
NOTE: At some point I met up with Raven but don’t remember how.
I was flying on a dragon; a majestic gold dragon. The wind whipped at my face and I looked down to see the tops of the trees. Raven was seated behind me. Long golden blond hair was around her, a contrast to the red velvet dress she was wearing. A battle was going to take place soon. I wanted to be there.
NOTE: I am hoping that by reading Raven's journal entry I will remember more of the dream.
10/12/09 Elfs and Time Travel
Note: I purposely misspelled the title. I started out with the intent to try a WILD, because I have a theory that I remember more dreams if I am lucid. I attempted to prove this true. I concentrated on Stonehenge to begin my journey.
I was walking around Stonehenge, wondering what I was doing there. It was extremely dark and I looked up to see a sort of space station hovering over Earth. There was a strange sound coming from it, a sort of musical tone. I opened my eyes, somebody had texted me.
After reading the text, which asked if we were going to play D and D tonight I fell back asleep. This time I was in the body of an elf. I had two companions with me; they were nymphs and were riding in my bows. I remembered this was part of my D and D scenarios I did a reality check and tried to launch a fireball. I found that I could do this.
Note: I changed to a 3rd person view. My character for D and D is male, so this is how I saw myself, or the person I was controlling.
I commanded my friends out of my bows. I looked around. We were in a dark forest with many sad trees. The trees had been warped and twisted by a dark, evil creature. I told my companions that we needed to move out into the open, I felt were would be safer that way. We walked a short ways before a creature, (it looked like the Wraith man from the Stargate Atlantis premiere) came out of the woods to greet us. I greeted him, because I thought that he was another elf. We chatted for a little while when he pointed at the sky. It had the same strange space station from Stonehenge. I knew then that he had built it and teleported myself away from him. My companions went back into their bows and we arrived at a mountainous area.
I ordered the male companion to get out of his bow and he did. The mountain had strange bubbles coming from it, and I quickly found they were space time bubbles. Space time broke when ever the bubble would pass over us. I though that since I was dreaming I could command my companion to do anything I wanted. So I told him to sit down. He did just as I told him. Then I remembered a funny scene that had taken place in the campaign we were in so I decided to take it further.
NOTE: I lost some lucidity because of what happened.
I was sitting down next to my companion. We were talking about what the space station was and how we might have to destroy it. We chatted about being elves and about how the bubbles around us were cool. As we were talking about the bubbles one passed over us and space time broke shortly. I found us in a beautiful forest. I thought I had remembered the forest and the fact that we were in a bubble that transported us away. I thought this was strange so tried to cast a fireball out of my hands. It worked. I knew I was dreaming.
The bubble passed over us and we found ourselves back at the mountain. The evil elf guy was standing in front of me. He wanted my other bow so he could kill the nymph inside. I told him that it wasn’t going to happen. He started getting angry and was going on about how it was his right to ‘eat’ whatever he wanted. I laughed. I had caught him in a monologue so I shot a fireball at him. It hit him squarely in the chest, but he quickly regenerated. I cursed because I had forgotten that about the Wraith. I commanded a nearby space time bubble and it quickly came to my hand. I shot it at him; he began laughing but was cut off as the bubble passed over him. I knew we had to get out of there so I jumped into a bubble, dragging my friend with me.
We were in a cave. I stepped to the entrance and looked up. The space station was still there. I knew that we weren’t done seeing the evil elf. I commanded my other companion out of her bow. She was groggy, but other wise fine. I told her about what was going on when she spotted a dark figure on the wall. I knew we needed guns so I willed them to us. She was given a 9mm glock; I don’t know what I was given. Since we all knew we were in a time space bubble, she shot at the wall. She had telepathically told me what her plan was and I agreed it might work. I willed the bullet to ricochet off, knowing that her plan was for the bullet to come crashing down on the enemy trapped in a different bubble. The effort to control the bullet was difficult and I lost lucidity.
I watched as the bullet flew through the air, headed toward the space station. I prayed that it would come down right and kill our enemy. It made a sharp U-turn, like gravity had finally decided to pull it back down. It was clearing the rotating rings of the space station when something went awry. Instead of passing through the final one as planned the bullet hit the space station. It caused the arm holding the ring to snap and break off. The station shuddered at the impact and started to fall from the sky. I was not very happy because we were going to be caught in the middle of the crash, but at the same time I knew the evil elf would be too. I watched as the station fell in slow motion. I had to do something. I had to stop it from falling on us. I had to….stop that annoying beeping. Everything faded as I woke up. Stupid alarm.
10/16/09 Ugly Betty and Vegetables
I was at a hospital. Ugly Betty’s dad was there. He was complaining of having some hip pain. I was there too. I was very sick and couldn’t get warm. Jen was there by my side, trying to help warm me up. I had to pee in a cup in order to see what was wrong. I found I couldn’t do this, but it was explained by kidney stones. We were in a different country and were supposed to be having a good time. I felt that I was ruining the trip so I told Jen to go. She did, and that’s when I met Ugly Betty’s dad. He was a great guy, and soon I was taken to the back for surgery. They were going to remove the kidney stones. They injected me with the anesthesia and everything faded to back.
NOTE: I fell into 3rd person view.
I watched as Ugly Betty’s dad complained. I watched as they did x-rays on him. While they did not see anything, he insisted that it was broken. I watched as the doctor explained to him that everything was okay, but still he insisted. He was in a lot of pain. Another doctor came and took a look at the x-ray. The doctor took another x-ray, and saw that there was a tiny hairline fracture in the hip joint. They took him back and everything faded to black,
I was at home, the home that I had grown up in. My family had apparently left the property, or turned into Ugly Betty’s family, I’m not really sure. I was then transported from the hospital. My family had grown some great trees. Ugly Betty was helping her father walk around. He had a cane and was doing well. I was watching the trees and Betty. I walked out of the house, to the front yard and took a closer look at the trees. Some of them had fruit on them. I looked at one tree that was extremely tall. I thought it looked like a palm tree, but it wasn’t quite right. I was playing a game with a girl I had never met. Apparently my parents had left little green army men in the trees and we were trying to find them all. It was starting to get dark and I thought it was about time to go in. Betty had been paying some bills and her sister was complaining about how she wrote in her checkbook. I told her that it was okay because they were free and she could recycle them.
The next morning came quickly and I walked outside. Betty’s dad was already up and about. I went into the back yard. Overnight there had suddenly grown a tomato tree where there was an orange tree. I went over and picked one of the tomatoes. It had a sticker on it. I went inside to cut the tomato. It has pickles on the top of it and when I went to cut it half of it had been cut up. I didn’t think this was unusual. I was going to cut the tomato, and had the knife already in my hand when everything faded to black.
10/17/09 Hiking, Water, and Dead Dwarves
I was with Jen. We were on a great hiking trip. The land was beautiful and desert, but we both liked it. We were climbing over some rocks when we met up with some other hikers. We talked with them for a while and all ate lunch. They explained a place that was deep in the mountain area, where there was once a mine. I was super excited about this and begged Jen to go. She finally agreed and we headed out with our new found companions. We traveled over rocks and came to a stream. We had now been hiking for a while so Jen and the guys decided to chill in the pool. It was a crystalline blue and I could see to the very bottom. I didn’t want to get my shoes wet because I didn’t have much traction on them and I didn’t want to fall down later, so I didn’t go swimming.
After a short time at the pool we headed out again. This time we had to pass a raging river. The bridge at the river had been destroyed a short while before and we were forced to backtrack to find away around. We finally made it to the other side, but only by completing leaps of faith across a wide chasm. I almost fell but was caught. We walked a bit more, only this time it was on an old dirt path. It seemed like a lot of traffic had been through the area recently. We quite suddenly came up on a small shack, and several pools of water. All the pools of water were crystal blue and clear. We enjoyed some time there before heading into the shack. The old mine was boarded up, but the area where they processed the ore was not. We explored some of the area having magically gained a tour guide and other tourists.
The tour guide finally led us into the open ore area and there was a table with many shiny, pretty things on it. The guide said that we could further explore on our own and that old legend had that if you left something for the dwarves they would give something in return. Jen left a gold necklace with a cross on it and the guys left rings, I didn’t see what kind. I did not leave anything. We walked further along a wooden shaft and found some more pools of water. We went until we found a water wheel and I found a pillow on the ground. I picked it up it was rough, ugly twill and had a hammer design on it. It was starting to get dark.
NOTE: It was magically light the entire time. Missed DS? Like all the water is a missed DS.
We decided to head to the surface. The other tourists were running around like crazy because they could see dead dwarves. I was quite upset because I wasn’t seeing anything. We managed not to get trampled and made it all the way to the shiny stuff table when I stopped. Jen looked at me and asked what was wrong. I just looked at her and then the pillow. I turned around and started running back to the place I had found the pillow. Jen chased after me. I dodged people and sprinted down the corridor. I went to the room with the water wheel. I saw that there was a door that wasn’t there before. I went through the door and a large number of dead dwarves were around me. The doors closed behind me, locking Jen out. She banged on the door for a while, but it would not open. I looked at the dwarves. They seemed sad and one of them tried to talk to me. I couldn’t understand what he was saying, but I knew what I had to do.
I lifted the pillow up. I explained that it wasn’t mine and that it was wrong for me to take it. I handed it to the leader. He in turn gave me a glowing red, shiny stone bracelet. I wrapped it around my arm twice. We had reached an agreement. The walls around me started to shake and I ran out the door. I grabbed Jen’s hand and we ran to the exit. My bracelet lit up several times and the walls would shake violently. I got the feeling that I had finally released the dwarves from their servitude on this earth. I had finally returned their precious item. I woke up feeling happy and relaxed.
10/18/09 Space Bars and Fights
NOTE: To insure I don’t upset anyone, I went to bed agitated last night; looking for a fight with someone I’ll call Mr. Annoying so that they are protected.
I concentrated on the Moon. I wanted to meet my friends there. I have having a hard time just getting there on my own, so I focused first on being in a forest, looking up at the Moon. I fell fast asleep a short while later, slipping into a dream that shouldn’t be there.
I was sitting at a bar. The long old wood of it felt good under my hands. I looked to the drink sitting in front of me. I hadn’t ordered it, but didn’t care. I took the shot at once. It didn’t burn as it went down, which I thought was nice. I looked up at a man I perceived as Nomad. This was strange. Why was he bartending? How come he didn’t recognize me? My head swam with possibilities but none of them made sense. This didn’t make sense. I wasn’t supposed to be here, I was supposed to be somewhere else. Why can’t I remember where?
I took the shot that was sitting in front of me. I was looking for someone. Wait, I didn’t order another shot. What the hell is going on here? I looked up. The patrons of the bar didn’t seem to notice that I was becoming agitated. I saw Raven. I was looking for her, or was I? I stood up. My head swam.
Why was I wearing a cloak? Who was I? I looked back to Raven. No, I wasn’t looking for her; I was looking for Mr. Annoying. I wanted to hit him. I wanted to show him that he was wrong. My head blurred and I fell onto a sitting bar patron. She shoved me off. Nomad and Raven looked up at this. I watched them closely. Wait, I was supposed to be going to the Moon. Why was I going to go to the Moon? How did I get here? This isn’t real. I’m dreaming…
I looked around the bar. Mr. Annoying hadn’t shown up yet. I was getting antsy. I was angry at him. I turned to say something to Nomad, but I couldn’t find him. I put my hands to my head. I don’t feel right. Pool, that looks like fun. Wait, I had a thought just a second ago, where did it go? Why can’t I do anything since I know it’s a dream? “Where are you, jackass!” I yelled, but it sounded far away.
I wanted out. I wanted out of this dream. This wasn’t mine. Where did I run and slip off to? Why couldn’t I leave? A guard looked at me strangely. I thought I was going to be sick. The world spun around me. I was falling to the floor. I hit it and people rushed around me….I jerked awake.
NOTE: This was a very surreal experience. I don’t know what was going on; I just know that it didn’t feel right. I woke up even thinking that and had a hard time getting back to sleep. I am still shaken by the experience. And man, what was in those shots I had? :shock:
10/19/09 Creepy Man Story
Let me start off by saying that I had an altercation with a creepy man claiming to be a cop yesterday. This dream is a direct result of that and some other stresses.
I knew I had to go down to the apartment office. I not only had to turn in some of my rent, but I also had to tell them about the creepy man claming to be a cop. I was at the office, which looked more like a school cafeteria when I spotted one of the bosses from my work, I’ll call him G. Katie, Karen, and Jen were with me. I noticed a very long line to go talk to Jan (the financial manager) and I really didn’t want to wait, so we sat down. The line just kept getting longer and I watched as people with checks were dropping off their rent. Eventually, after a long conversation with Karen, I stood up to be in line. When I finally got to Jan’s office she wasn’t there.
I was upset, but G told me to calm down. He said he could take care of anything I needed to. He picked up a black binder and I told him I needed to make an official complaint. I knew that the forms were in the binder. I told G I wanted a form and he said he couldn’t give me one. I was very upset and demanded one. He still wouldn’t give me one. I took my rent check and stormed out just as Jan was coming back in.
I wanted to be somewhere else. I quickly found myself in the Jetta with my dad, Jen, and my friend Amanda. I was trying to tell my dad the creepy man story, but I kept getting interrupted. Amanda started to bitch about something and I turned around and told her to shut up. At this point I realized my dad was driving. Amanda got mad at me telling her to shut up so started to say that Jen had been pregnant about 7 times when I shot her a dirty look. She shut up. We were going down Golf Links and had just passed a sight that used to be part of the old college. It was worn out and faded. At this Amanda said that Katie and Karen were losers. She said, ‘and you think I’m not doing anything with my life, look at them.” Then she added that she was getting married. I just brushed it off. We turned down Swan, but it suddenly changed and we were driving down Old Spanish Trail near Harrison. I kept trying to tell my dad about the creepy man, but I was still being interrupted. I was getting really mad when Lacey jolted me awake by one of her barks.
