Hypnagogia's Dream Journal

Hypnagogia's Dream Journal Welcome to my dream journal. I will be writing my normal non-lucid dreams in black, my lucid dreams in red, the narrative in grey and if for some reason I am writing about my waking life that will be in green. I will put explicit material in a spoiler section so you can skip it if you don't want to read the naughty things . Feel free to make comments. I apologize in advance for any mistakes I make with past tense and present tense, I find when I am recalling a dream some of it will be described in a mixture of tenses. Also for general grammar and spelling errors too. On the days that I don't recall my dreams I will record an older dream that I have in my old dream journal just to keep the routine going. Also the dates will be in UK format DD/MM/YY

NORMAL DREAM | LUCID DREAM | WAKING LIFE So here is my first entry of my online dream journal: So I had a dream this morning. When I woke up I could remember all of it vividly. I lay there in bed going through it but I was damn tired and regrettably I didn't get up and write it down. Instead I went back to sleep. I hope in the future I can discipline myself to just get up and write it down. I am in a car in the road at night when someone very angrily tries to ram me off the road. I'm not feeling scared or even confused as to why this guy is doing this, just a feeling of indifference. Its dark and wet outside and I get the impression it is cold and possibly icy. So here I am getting attacked by this guy in his car when I see a UFO up in the sky. Suddenly this UFO shoots down something towards the guys car and he stops attacking me. I can see his face, he is looking out his front windscreen up at the UFO in terror. I really get a strong feeling that he is scared. When it shoots down at him (with some sort of light, not projectile), his car stops and (this is where it gets a fuzzy memory-wise) it turns another colour, not like another paint job but like a reaction to the light, I believe his dark car turns very light. Now I can't remember fully but I believe he is then abducted... I can't write anymore about this dream cos I simply do not remember at this time about it. If I recall anymore I'll be sure to add it in.

NORMAL DREAM | LUCID DREAM | WAKING LIFE Me and some of my family members are walking through some streets during a nice summers day. There are kids playing football (soccer) all about the place. A few times the ball ends up coming my way and even though in real life I am crap at football I do some tricks and kick the ball back to them. I notice the streets are pebbled and there are old white houses/cottages, the kind you would see in the countryside and their gardens end with green hedges. Their is no pavement (sidewalk) just pebbled road that we walk on. I notice I am with my father, I think my mother is there too, my brother-in-law and my big sister (the one whos married to my brother-in-law) but not my wee sister. As we walk I see the ball again, this time I think I run in and do a few tricks with it (as opposed to the ball coming my way by accident). I recall one of the young kids punching me in the back. I remember being a bit surprised at this. I immediately stop messing around with the ball and I say to my family who saw this that 'that was a bad one, he punched me in my lungs' or something like that. I remember saying that it hurt even more cos I am a big bong smoker and my lungs are already in pain (IRL I do smoke bongs but I don't have any lung conditions or pain). Finally the last part of this dream that I can rememeber (and I know something happens after this) me and my family make our way to a street that is a dead end. There are already a crowd of people waiting there, just standind around. I recall that looking down at the street to the right there was a chained fence the kind that have bulky black iron pillars with chunky chains hanging from pillar to pillar and there was a drop and below was the sea. Kind of like being at a harbour ready to get on a boat but no boat was there. We just stand there and my recall fades... I have another dream this time I remember even less. I am in my big sister's and brother-in-law's house (although it looks nothing like their real house). I am in the living room with them and my father is talking to them about issues (something serious like debt or something). I know that I am not paying attention cos I know that the conversation doesn't involve me. Then my brother-in-law passes a scrappy but chunky home-made diary type book. I open it up and inside are notes none of which I read but I notice money in one of the pages, then for some reason I turn to my brother-in-law (who is on my right) and say "I just realised your passing this down, I didn't mean to be nosey" and he replies in a kind of laughing way "yeah thats personal stuff man". The next thing I remember is lying on their couch trying to sleep and I am looking down to the rug on the carpet and I can see weeds growing through the carpet and I say to myself "oh that must be cos of the condensation". The place looks disgusting. (IRL their house is very clean and they don't suffer from condensation problems) End of my recall

NORMAL DREAM | LUCID DREAM | WAKING LIFE Well if you have read my signature you will see that I have had two LDs but I woke up as soon as I was lucid, this was before joining this forum too. Still I would like to share those two dreams since, despite being dissapointed that I woke up, it was still my first LDs. It was about 1 week before joining this forum the first dream was on a Monday and the second was the next day. The first dream was actually a nightmare lol I was in a field and I was being held prisoner there by what looked like soldiers (like nazi troopers or something). I was standing there and they told me I was not to move. Since it was an open field I said to myself that I would make a run for it, since I felt distressed being held captive. So I looked to where I wanted to go and sprinted for my life, I get about 4 yards down and then bang bang bang some soldier opens fire on my back. It was a weird experience, I truly believed I was gonna die as I fell to the ground. Then I just lay there realizing that I wasn't dead. I wasn't thinking 'wow thats amazing how did I survive!' or anything just that I should try and make another run for it. Which I did and they chased me. So I was running and running and then I come to a new landscape its a city (which resembles Liberty City from GTA IV). I turn around to see if any soldiers are still chasing me and I see this muslim guy, he looked about 20-25ish clean shaven and wearing western clothes (but black and visibly muslim). He had this kinda expression on his face like "I'm gonna getcha!" haha it was freaky. So I keep running and I come to these flight of stairs (like stairs outside at a train station to get from one platform to the next) and suddenly I start sliding down the stairs like it was an icy slope and going really fast (which was really fun) and I'm thinking to myself "ha this guy has no chance catching me" and I look around and hes the exact same distance away he was when I looked the first time. Then I see a busy street and I start to feel safe because I can see many people, when I reach this street the chaser vanishes. So here I am in a street which happens to be very very similiar to the street Niko Belic from GTA IV first stays in. I'm on the side where the hot dog stand is walking by a parked car with someone inside it reading a newspaper. I look at the paper and the writing looks strange and I say to myself "wait this can't be right" and I know at this point I am in a dream. To be sure I do a reality check I turn away and look at the writing again and it has changed. Then I go down to look at my hand and I suddenly strongly feel myself lying on my bed IRL and I wake up... The very next day I have another short-lived lucid dream. In fact the whole dream in itself was short Its dark and I am in what looks like the interior of a ruined building/castle. There is no roof and I am trapped inside it with no exit or windows. I am feeling a bit worried that I can't get out and then I look over to a wall and I see that it has a formation of bricks that lends themself useful for climbing. So I start making my way up this wall and then I spontaneously become completely lucid. I start to feel my body lying on my bed and I quickly try to touch the top of my mouth with my tongue (which I read helps maintain lucidity) but its too late and I am awake... I really wish I just let go of the rocks I was clinging on to and fell backwards towards the ground because I believe that would have kept me in my dream. So there you have it this was my first taste of lucidity and I look forward to it again but hopefully I don't wake up as quick

NORMAL DREAM | LUCID DREAM | WAKING LIFE I'm in a large old victorian house, the ones with the really high ceilings buts its modern day still its not like I'm in the past or anything. I'm in a room with about 6 or more friends all having a laugh talking away. It feels like when I was on a trip with my Art class at school about 6 people had to share the 3 bunk beds in the same room, although in the this dream we're all older (about 20ish) and its double beds not bunk beds. So we're all chilling talking about things none of which I can really remember. I recall looking for some of my hashish in my bag and finding some although I don't specifically remember smoking any but I'm pretty sure I did. I'm in bed with a girl and we're hugging and kissing, but we're not going out cos I remember feeling not sure whether or not she would accept my advances (although she does ). And while we're making out theres this other girl (who resembles somsone I know from a gaming clan I'm in) that is really interested in me, shes telling me that I'm good looking and I remember thinking that she was hot too but I didn't want to ruin the chances I had with the girl I was already in bed with so I just thank her for her compliments but I don't try anything with her. Then everyone decides to go to sleep cos its late and I'm getting excited lol cos I know I'm probably going to have a bit of , but before anything starts someone shouts on me from another room. so I go through and this girls like "THERES THE COPS OUTSIDE!! DID YOU KNOW??" she seems very worried so I look out the window and there is a meat wagon as I call it with NYPD written on it. So I turn around to the girl and I say "chill its the New York Police Department and this is Scotland!" and shes laughing thinking how stupid she was getting worried. So I go back through to the room I was in with the girl I was making out with and I jump in bed with her and then the worst thing possible happens. I wake up . My dad was defrosting the car very loudly as he was getting ready to leave for work.

No recall I think I will copy some of my dreams from my written dream journal to here on days when I have no recall, just to keep the routine going.

NORMAL DREAM | LUCID DREAM | WAKING LIFE I'm out in the open but their are walls in the distance and buildings here and there. It is quite dark and I am with a group of strangers. Its like we're all been put there, doesn't feel like we came here on our own. We seem to be trying to work out where we are when suddenly news comes that another group is coming to hunt us. So immediately we start to look at how to get out of this place, we stick together. Throughout this search for escape I feel stressed out. Eventually I see a wall that I think I could climb over but I feel scared that I might die from the drop on the other side then suddenly as I attempt to climb this wall one of the guys that was in my group turns on me and tries to stop me and I wake up.

No recall again

NORMAL DREAM | LUCID DREAM | WAKING LIFE Finally I remember a dream again I'm in a flat with my big sister and her son. My sister is going to run a bath for my nephew (who is only 2) and she asks me to go down to see her husband in the flat down stairs (the whole building is a 4-story close). Apparently I need to tell him to do something with the pipes in that lower flat so my sister can get hot water. I'm not sure why my brother-in-law is in a lower flat but when I get down there he is with many people. A woman answers the door and I can see all sorts of people walking about some are coming out of the flat and going downstairs to the street some just come out into the landing. I'm pretty sure I can remember music so its like a party thats going on. So I explain the thing about the pipes when this 6'3 bastard comes out. Hes a typical knuckle-dragging thug and hes all like 'What do you want' with me but hes got this amused expression on his face and then suddenly he grabs me and pulls me over the banister and dangles me over a very long drop. At this moment I am scared as hell, cos just like IRL I am scared of heights. He pulls me back over and is saying some stuff I can't recall anythng exactly. And he does a few times and I'm getting angry wishing he'd stop, eventually I get back up stairs and I tell my sister about it. I say 'I'm a 13 stone (182 pound) guy! He could easily have dropped me' she asls me what I want to do about it and I tell her I want to stab him to death. Next thing I remember I am sitting on the couch in my sister's flat and she tells me to quickly grab my camera phone and take a photo of their pet hamster which happens to be in a fish tank under water lol. Its doing something when I go to take the photo then it moves and the shot is ruined. I ask my sister how the hell is it surviving under water. At this point it walks over to its water bottle thing takes a drink (while being under water still xD) and then it swims to the top and takes a breath and I say 'ahh it still needs oxygen'. Random I know but thats what I remember

8/2/10 No recall

[Hypnagogia]

Very fragmented and hazy dream recall. I don't think I will bother recording any of it
