11.06.2008 Bubble Catcher (Non-lucid)
NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID
I am drifting by a quaint field of grass with forest surrounding it, on something wooden on a river. A boy is in the field of grass and it is sunny out. "want to help me catch bubbles?" the boy asks with a childish smile. He grabs a smaller lacrosse looking stick from a pile. It is blue, made of metal and plastic with a net mesh catcher part. I grab the biggest one but it is wooden instead of metal and plastic and has thick, rough, white cloth for the catcher part. There are more wooden catchers in the pile than blue catchers. An unseen adult presence consents to this activity.
10.10.2009 Jumping Spiders (DILD)
NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID
I am sick, quite sick, in fact so sick that I have to go to the hospital. My mother is with me in the hospital. I am told that I will die the next day. I try to deal with accepting dying at such a young age. My brother comes to visit me and I find that my mother hasn't told him that I will die the next day. I then learn that I will not die, I'll live. Apparently I was sick because i didn't drink much water yesterday when I was at one of my good friends' house, but then I had a few mouthfuls of beer. In my dream I find out that if you drink enough beer without water it is lethal. My mom commented on how they actually didn't find much beer in my system (apparently they pumped my stomach) and how strange that was. "Yeah, see? I barely had anything." I say. I head off towards a room where I am to spend the night in but another room with the door ajar catches my eye. I head into this room and start to look through her stuffand in her bag (how polite of me). A certain item interests me. I leave it in its place and go to leave the room. I feel that i have stayed just too long and that as I walk out the door the girl will see me leaving. Sure enough, as i leave the room the girl sees me closing the door behind me. Now I am in the room meant for me. There is some sort of raised bed, maybe a bunk bed. I go to the top. My phone is out of batteries so I grab the other phone that is there. This phone is of worse quality than mine, a downgraded version of it. It is chunkier and dark navy blue with some black on it. This phone has a touch screen. I try to use it but have problems. I am trying to phone my own phone with it. Then I have another phone, it opens to reveal a screen and a keyboard. Some kind of Blackberry style phone. It is very confusing to use and I am not sure how to work it. Now I am outside of my room on a cliff face. The cliff face has a part that juts out from the rest. The rock is gray and textured/rough, most likely granite. I am with someone, my friend, but I cannot tell who exactly she is. I decide to take the memory chip out of my phone and put it into the Blackberry type phone. I take out the memory chip holder from the blackberry phone, it is a kind of cylindrical plastic holder thing, open at the top and the sides, closed on the bottom and with a rim around the top. It is light gray with some blue on the inside of the bottom. I take out my memory card from my phone, but it comes out as two tiny light bulbs, some tiny bits of burnt light bulb wire, and a slightly messed-up spring (high tech). I take all the pieces and put them in my hand. They are hard to keep in my hand and I drop some of the pieces on the ground and then pick them up again. I am not sure if I have all the pieces, some have fallen through the cracks in the ground. The person with me remarks on how far some of the pieces fell away from where I am "oh some fell over here". I decide it is a good idea to put the pieces in a basket. There is a basket but it has a hole in the bottom, a crusty old dead leaf and dirt with holes in it. The dirt is a light earthy colour with golden brown parts, but dark chocolate brown around and in the holes. I take the leaf and stuff it in the hole to clog it, but it does not completely plug it, so I take a handful of earth, thinking to put it in as well. I think it'll sit on top of the leaf, completely plugging the hole, but I feel it will just fall through. The person with me tells me not to touch that pile or dirt. I ask why and let go of the earth. She says it is because there are plant seeds in it (of a kind that I cannot remember) but there are also jumping spiders in it. I ask why the jumping spiders are there and she says it is so they can jump off of the cliff. The jumping spiders start jumping off of the cliff. One somehow gets suspended in mid air. The others now jump onto it and then jump off of it, and subsequently off of the cliff. One jumping spider seems to never be able to do things right. It jumps onto the spider suspended in the air, but hesitates from jumping off the spider. The spider it is on is now somehow human-like, and the spider on it clings to its white t-shirt. The other spiders have to pause and wait for it and so start complaining. It hugs onto the human-like one and attempts several times to jump. Eventually it steps off, but not far enough. It falls a short distance and lands on a ledge, it is not a long enough fall to have killed it. Then the spider jumps from the lip and finally off the cliff just like the rest. I go into one of the spiders who is jumping, becoming it. I jump from the cliff, it is an amazing rush. It is quite fun and I wonder if skydiving in the real world is just like this and if this is like testing out how it would be. As I rush towards the coniferous trees at the bottom I realize that I am dreaming. I am human again, although I do not think I look as I look in real life. I look more like the white T-shirt guy. I stop mid air and stop all the other spider who jumped as well. I try to stop time but see that I have only stopped some things from moving. I fly up to the top of the cliff. As I am flying up I go into clouds, I get confused as to where the top of the cliff is. I want to go to the top and talk to the person there before conducting some tests in the dream. I fight for control of the dream. Before I get to the top, I wake up.
12.10.2009 Chug the Tea Jug (Non-lucid)
NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID
I am at a teen camp. I have made orange pekoe tea for everyone. I make myself a mug and drink over half of it. Everyone else pours themselves some tea. The only person I really notice is the leader, he is overweight and has black, medium to short length hair with a slight curl to it and a stubble beard. After everyone has had themselves some tea I grab the big plastic jug of tea, which is still around half full, and start chugging it. I finish the jug of tea and talk to the leader about drinking it. I then wake up. In waking life I still feel as if I have chugged an excessive amount of tea.
15.11.2009 Foxwolf (Non-lucid)
NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID
I was at the bottom of a hill below the power lines in my town, by the street where all the houses are there. I was in a little hidden field, around me are prickle bushes (this place exists IWL) and I was doing something, I don't remember what. Someone else was there. Then I see this wolf sized fox. I was like: "oh a fox!!!!" but I thought of it as a wolf as well. So I started to chase the Foxwolf, I wanted to say "hi" and it was super calm the whole time, just leaped away. I am in tall grass now . Then it ran a short distance away and there were prickles between us. I didn't want to loose it so I flew over to it. Then I decided that what I had to do to get it to talk was to tell it that all I wanted to do was to speak to it, so I did. I asked it to speak to me and it said "Suscitatsio". And then, of course, I woke up. Suscitatsio meaning to awaken or to rekindle in Latin.
18.11.2009 Suscitatsio (WILD)
NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID
... One summer somewhere in the breathtakingly beautiful inlets of British Columbia, Canada I found myself sitting on green moss, surrounded by tall trees with Old Man's Beard hanging from ancient branches. I was looking out into the inlet at the ocean and the sharp mountains. The sun was reflecting off of the waters. The beauty was breath-taking. I closed my eyes and quietened my mind. An image came to me, an image of ocean, mountains and sun. A symbol...
School time. I sit in my English class (one of my favorites) and try to stay awake. I haven't really been getting much sleep lately, bad idea I know. There is a symbol that I can't stop thinking about, I keep drawing it everywhere, almost compulsively. I visualize it in my mind and while thinking about it I drift off a little bit and it becomes more and more real to me. I am in the void, blackness all around. There is a hole in the void right in front of me. Light radiates from this hole so that it shines like a pale sun. I drift through the void and into this hole. I fly over the ocean and come to a place under the mountains. In this place there are tall figures who line a black hall on each side into infinity. The figures are humanoid but do not look human at all. Some figures hold up strange objects. between the two lines of these figures there is a black substance that is the source of light in this place. Even though this substance is the blackest black, it radiates light. This place is like my own version of Plato's Cave. This black stuff is the fire that the figures dance around. I have turned my head. Suscitatsio. The vision ends and I am left a little dazed and back in my English class.
01.12.2009 Adventure through construction (Non-lucid)
NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID
I was with my girlfriend K.S. and another girl (maybe G or Izz, can't recall) when we decided to go for an adventure. It was a sunny day. We got on a school bus and sat separately, me with others around my age, K.S. with the other girl and some more random girls. K.S. and the girl got off at the right stop and started walking down the street but I was distracted and stayed on the bus for a while. Then, when I got off, I caught sight of K.S.'s hair way down the road. It was beautiful here: forested but with houses, green foliage all around. But the place we were headed for was all torn up by construction. As I walked after the two girls the left side of the road was green with great trees and bushy vines winding 'round the branches. There is a warm cheery, more-than-real feeling about this place, it is like a small child's fantasy, a truly adventurous and wondrous place. The right side of the road is a more golden colour, having undergone some sort of construction or deforestation sometime in the past but not quite finished yet. There are dusty, splintered and broken trees and great mounds of rolling earth and excavators with the brand name "Cat" printed on the side. So as I started after the girls I realized that they were a good ways away, but I did not wish to run after them, so I took great leaps, more than any human could in waking life, way up through the air and cleared the distance between us in no time at all. Then we, all three, were walking, talking and laughing as it might be on this great adventure we had started upon. And I heard the girl (not K.S.) say that she really would love to go adventuring like this more often. I said that indeed she should, for I do it whenever I get the chance and thoroughly enjoy it. I have a feeling that I have had this dream before, only with a childhood friend in K.S.'s stead. K.S. has the most amazing, long, golden, curly hair, it looks thick and wonderful, and the whole place feels like joy and child-like excitement. So as we go along the road it turns to hard-packed, golden earth. The path then gets swervy, winding around, like paths through the forest are want to be after some construction or deforestation has occurred. and I find that I can take large leaps in order to always stay ahead of the girls with little effort. There is a large mound of hard, golden earth in the path, with a broken, dusty, splintered tree on the top (there are dusty prickles or brambles with dusty, green leaves all around this place and growing on the log too). The girls take a little bit to get over this large mound but I leap over it all in a single bound and land on the opposite side, excited to be navigating through this place with such ease. I then begin to think of the song "Singing In The Rain" and it fills the dream: just that song, nothing else, clear and beautiful. (And somehow I mess up some of the words and verses, it feels as if something is different about it.) I see a book with some of the lyrics of the song in it. I am filled with some of the familiar emotions that come along with hearing this song. Then I wake up.
31.12.2009 Cave and crickets (Non-lucid)
NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID
We were in a cave. It was dark. There was a shady guy in a robe and armor and even though he might look shady or scary we trusted him. There were a few of us. We are trying to find our way to something. A bunch of spooked grasshoppers or crickets run past us farther into the cave. We come to a crossroads and I think that maybe the left path is the one that we should take, but the shady guy takes the right path The right path is pitch black and has two glowing eyes in the distance. The eyes are just two yellow slits of light. the eyes remind me of the shady guys eyes. We decide to trust him and we follow him in. Now we are running behind all of the crickets, running from passage to passage. It gets brighter. There is a larger cricket that is in the front of all of the small ones, there is a space separating them, it seems like the large cricket is the leader. They lead us outside into the daylight.
31.12.2009 Mounts and VideoGames (Non-lucid)
NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID
We were on things, some people and I, mounted on some sort of beasts. This dream has a videogame-like feel. We are searching for something. I decide to start killing some beasts because apparently if I kill enough of them I will get something important. We kill them on the way to something, and then on the way back from whatever we did I am in the lead and start killing them first. Then two things go by that are related somehow, they look like twins. Another thing is chasing them, this thing is a part of a list of things we could kill to win something. I am going to go after the one that is apart of the list. Instead of running after it right away, I realize that my game interface thing (apparently there are a bunch of buttons to click on for spells and items and such. similar to WoW) is all messed up. It has changed. So I fumble around with what to do, how to get back on my mount and then get on a different mount. I succeed in switching mounts, this mount is slow but jumps extremely high. It can also jump once more in the air. It is a metal bird thing and strangely resembles the crickets from the last dream. It has a round head, no real neck, a lot of rivets and lips and things, looks like different kinds of metal, bronze and steel and such, and has two skinny bird-like legs & feet. It has wings or something although it never extends them. So, regardless of what my companions are doing, I get on it and pursue the thing that I want to kill, even tough the thing is now long gone. I jump really high. I am now traveling over a place where u need to jump high to go through, I am off of the trail we were on before. Sometimes I have trouble double jumping and don't end up jumping high enough.
31.12.2009 Cheap Hotel and X-Mas Pageant (Non-lucid)
NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID
I am in a strange hotel-like place which has some familiarity to it, like I've dreamt of it before. My parents are both in separate rooms. The ceiling is low so I have to crouch and Instead of doors, heavy mats hang down. My room is like a little cubbyhole and there is no bed but rather a bunch of blankets on the floor, and again a very low ceiling. There is some sort of church Christmas pageant being practiced outside and I can see this if I peek through a corner of the mat and look through the window. It is dark in this place but the x-mas pageant is bright. I wonder why there is an x-mas pageant practice because x-mas has passed. When everyone is asleep I sneak outside, involuntarily, my feet just carry me there and I am surprised to be out of the rooms because I am not aloud out here this late. It is dark and and resemblant of where I was jumping with my mount in the last dream. There is a stack of things and I climb up on top of them and then jump over to the roof of a fridge, thinking that there may be alcohol up there. Quite to my dismay, there is no alcohol up there (awe snap!).But there is something else, something plastic and black, the same colour as the fridge. I made a loud noise jumping on this fridge. I jump to another, this one looks somehow more fridge-like and is also black. I then decide that I made to much noise and should just go back to sleep. I head back to the room. There is an object on the ground that I moved before. It is black as well. It is a rounded cap and has a stick attached to the middle of the underside. It is resemblant to an umbrella I suppose. It is black and plastic as well. I move it back to where I think it was before so that no one will notice that I was out of my room.
07.02.2010 X-ray gloves (Non-lucid)
NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID
There are two, large, disembodied, "floating" gloved hands, fingers out stretched. The gloves look like Mickey mouse gloves but instead of being white they are some weird opposite colour: a shimmery gray/black. The palms are facing away, like they are pressed up against an unseen sheet of glass. The effect of looking at the gloves, the effect of the weird colours, makes it so that it seams that u can see through the whole glove, inside and out, at once. They are empty, there doesn't appear to be any hands inside. It looks like the colours in a X-ray picture. It looks like an X-ray picture of two Mikey Mouse gloves. It looks like someone put the gloves into a photocopier x-ray machine.
18.02.2010 Icky WBTB WILD (WBTB)
NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID
Ok, so tonight I have decided that it's time to try out the WBTB technique and do a WILD. I will go to sleep at 10:00 P.M. and set my alarm to go off at 4:00 A.M. to start the WILD. Lets see how this WILD attempt turns out...
My alarm goes off. I get up, still half asleep and wait around 30 minutes before starting some stretches and attempting this thing. Blindfold on, earplugs in, nicely stretched and relaxed I begin counting my heartbeats to calm my mind. The hypnagogic hallucinations start and I see my body on the bed like it's far away, the bed rotates around, my vision turns to underneath my bed, I keep seeing myself rotating around, then it all snaps back and I'm in my body again. Then I start to feel as if my astral body is turning around in place till my head is right where my feet are IWL, then my head comes up out of my feet and my whole astral body rotates until i am in my body but am in it face down, instead of face up like I'm sleeping. "uggghhhh... Get out already!" I think to myself. After thinking this thought my astral body is thrown onto my bedroom floor. I'm half aware of my body still but the rest of my awareness is on my astral body. My parents come into the room and start making a ruckus (I don't think this actually happened IWL) and finally my mom takes my laptop and leaves the room. I follow her out of my room and through the living room, but as I start to go upstairs I see a picture of myself screaming, I realize that I'm almost fully lucid, but then I'm slammed back into my body. After a while I find myself in a mall. I am lying on a bench just like I'm lying on my bed IWL and I am attempting to do a WILD in this dream, not realizing it is a dream... Eventually an old lady comes up to me and holds out her hand. I wonder if anyone finds it odd that I'm like sleeping on a bench in a mall so i sit up. "what do you want?" I ask. She looks at me like I should just know and waits impatiently. "What do you want? I don't understand!" I say. At this point I seem to be rather frustrated. She looks at a pile of stuff on the bench. It seems to me that she thinks I stole her purse and wants me to give it back. "I don't know which of those things is yours. I didn't take anything, I'm just sitting here." I say. Then she looks at a purse and I hand it to her. My dad then comes into the mall to get me. My dad sits beside me. Then I try to get up off of the bench but I end up just sitting up IWL. I try to do a WILD again but my other alarm goes off.... Time to go on with my day. What an odd experience... And I have a strong, unsettling feeling of being like a small plant that was just uprooted with a shovel.
25.02.2010 Pee (Non-lucid)
NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID
I walk into my washroom and start to pee. I pee so much that the bowl gets filled right to the top, then when I flush the toilet, it overflows and there is pee water two feet deep flooding the whole bathroom. I think calmly that this probably won't be too difficult to clean up.
