Arriving at University (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was arriving at university and Henderson Halls, the halls of residence, was more of a theme park. Lectures were more challenges and activities that needed completion, such as learning to dive into a swimming pool. (Truth be told, in real-life I am yet to learn this!) Upon arriving by car, I remember seeing David naked and urinating against the entrance sign, but I thought nothing of it.

The second night in, Shane came to visit me. We had an incredible night out and returned to my apartment afterwards. I realised I was smoking weed (not something I would do), but passed the joint onto Shane nonetheless, which he dropped on the couch. I was initially shocked, claiming that it was my parents' new couch (even though I'd just moved out). Just before I was leaving the halls the morning after, with a suitcase in hand, I saw Alice across the foyer, which looked more like a shopping mall with many water features.

The Group Project Girl (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

The dream was situated in the same area as the previous sleep(the altered Newcastle University). I was casually walking around campus in the day time, it was extremely sunny and more a day of summer. A young girl kept continually appearing, posing challenges and asking me questions related to my Maths coursework. I kept losing track of where she was and I could not formulate any answers.

Friends and Fragments (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I remember only many fragments this night; nothing was especially coherent apart from characters from the tv show 'Friends' repeatedly appearing. At first, I was in a fish and chip shop with my uncle Martin and I was discussing how he was here the previous night, too. My Dad was waiting outside in the car. I then received a text from Dave. It read that he decided to split with his girlfriend, upon questioning him (also via text) he replied that it was because he had been to India and caught rabies.

In the second fragment, I was situated in a sports shop. I assume I was waiting to try on a pair of shoes, but a kid near me was acting extremely strange. He then proceeded to attack me at lightning speed, but I was faster and every move he made, I blocked. I felt invincible and smirked a little; I got the impression that he felt a little angry (presumably relating the DV task of the month, yet I was not lucid).

Next I was at the top of a skyscraper in a casino in Las Vegas with Joey and Chandler from Friends. I received news that Joey died in the last episode of his independent TV series from witnessing the Virgin Mary. Whilst I felt sorrow, Chandler was playing roulette: the ball kept spinning out and Chandler would dive, catch it and thrown it back in.

The last part of my sleep was long enough to be classed as more than a fragment, but it was probably the most devastating dream I've had in a while (in terms of waking up! haha). I was dating Jennifer Aniston and lying with her round, what was presumably, her house. We were lying in a circular room, with pillows and cushions everywhere and curtains in every direction. I was talking to her for around five minutes, just making little jokes and making her laugh. She began to cuddle upto me, resting her head on my shoulder and putting her leg over, at which point I heard my alarm and realised I had two pieces of Maths coursework due.

I think I finally realised what would be a good reality check which could propogate through to my dreams. I always remember to RC my hands, but it's rare in a dream that I will look at them. I've noticed I'm always in an unfamilar scenario, although it feels like a place I'd know; so my new RC is to check my surroundings and that it's a place I fully recognise and am used to.

The Henderson Fridge (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was in Henderson Hall at university when I walked into the kitchen to get some food. In front of the freezer where many black bin bags filled with rubbish, I pushed all of them aside. I opened the freezer door (which must of been over 10 feet tall as it was nearly double my height) to see, what looked like, bags of coal stacked high. Each bag had a name on; I could see mine half way up and found they were each filled with food.

Friends and Fragments II (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was at home, in Lowestoft, and it seemed like the Christmas period (or, at least, the middle of winter). Chloe (one my old cats, she lived to 22 years old) jumped from the breakfast bar down to the wooden and I heard a 'snapping' sound. I ran round to see if she was okay; she was fine. I was then on my laptop where I pulled away a layer of the exterior casing and all the scratches were removed, the keyboardn disappeared and this caused confusion.

My Dad and I were driving along the seafront in Lowestoft when he suddenly pulled over. He jumped out of the car and began fighting with my Uncle Martin. I couldn't tell if they were play fighting or if it was for real; either way, my Dad won.

Under Attack! (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was walking with my Dad along the bascule bridge, in Lowestoft, during the day. I heard a loud humming noise and, as I turned around, saw a large aircraft hovering very low in the sky (no more than 100ft high). The aircraft shot out a missle directly into a large welding structure on the docks; I shouted at my Dad to run. As we were running, relief began to set in - I thought we had gotten away. But seconds later a missile was heading our way and I remember thinking "This is it. I'm going to know what death feels like." The explosion hit, but no damage was done. I stood admist the rubble knowing I could not have been killed. "Typical."

The night club was full and closing time was near. I left the club to have Carly follow me; I spoke to her for a while outside Asda, where she wanted to change underwear. She soon disappeared and I spent time alone near some water features, which looked amazing in the late hours.

Finally, a fairly interesting dream to add!

Calculus Presentation (FA) (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I woke up in the early hours of the morning, it must of been around 4 or 5, with a sense of urgency: I had to complete a calculus presentation for that day and it was not finished! What work I had done the night before was on a projector in the middle of the room and I hastily e-mailed Jem to make sure the projector would be ready for when I arrived at university. My thoughts started to scatter and worry and tension built. I was rummaging through notes and looking at timetables on the Internet, without taking any of the information in.
