Thread: Share your dream from last night in one sentence

I was running late for convocation at college, so I scaled a building and ran at super fast speed to get there in time, yet I somehow never became lucid...

A dream figure was showing my how to inspect a fire extinguisher, and also how to properly fill one, and this extinguisher was very futuristic in design, because it was worn like a back pack, was filled through the bottom, and had an outer casing, with valves at the top, and the spray was turned off and on at the end of hose with a hand lever valve, not to mention the nicely styled case. (No, I'm not a fireman)

Two nights ago: generally frag-a-licious mode, still

early:
+(f) in a haunted house, all doors lead to ghosts, some are worse than others

+(f) the guys send me the latest version of the invention we're working on: sort of a disc with yin/yang decoration plates on top

+(f) walking in city streets, lift my arm and start to fly diagonally up at the street light, think about asking people on the ground to help me go higher

later:

+ on the highway, directions, descending stairs ducking under string in the T's rec room, younger girls and older guys are there, racey (NSFW) game, pics on SD card, move to computer to copy them.

+(f) sitting at the computer with a girl, sense an opportunity and touch her leg a bit, concerned people will see

+(f) big giant guy floating down the river on his back, prominent erection

+(f) taking a photograph of a group

+(f-d) on the border between fragment and dream) there's a lot of garbage under the table, giant amber gem, turns out to be just a paperweight

+(f) choosing a place to place my sleeping bag

+(f) thinking of lying down to sleep in a doorstep, it looks too small

+(f-d) the guys recorded their movie digitally and converted it to niche-theater formats and made a lot of money this way, I see the movie scenes playing on the screen, two different formats (one with wire-frame overlays)

---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------

Last night:

+ baseball: I catch a fly ball that bounced into the stands, second ball, third flies over my head

+(f) bus (girl)

+(f) butt (girl)

+ outdoor stairs, creepy guy looking at me, crowded bookstore (closed for restocking break will last for 30 minutes)

+ (semi-lucid) in parent's bedroom, want to get out fly

+(f) there's shooting going on outside, we should take cover

+(f) entering gym, paying at turnstile

1. I am riding in a car with my oldest friend, the car makes an impossible Dukes of Hazzard style jump and lands at my childhood church; inside a woman in a navy blue sweatshirt tells us she makes daily train trips between the parish and New York city.

2. A strange, third person dream like a paragraph from a history textbook: Native Americans and white settlers make forts on the plains, a disembodied voice describes the orgins of the word "fort".

I was sitting at a table with co-worker (who's Filipino), and another co-worker (who's Chinese) came walking out of my office with puffed up hair, and was wearing a mad scientist lab coat, and he started to stagger away from us, then the co-worker who was sitting with me started to talk Filipino to him, but he looked back at us with a questioned look (cause he's Chinese), and staggered around the corner. As I look for dream sings.

I love docu-dreams!

I am attacked by a dog and then see a flying truck crash onto my street.

Another upside down night: early dreams (relatively) coherent, broken WBTB (insomnia), later dreams fragmented and bizarre

+ all animals on the farm lot are dead suddenly, cleaning them up with with tractor, piles of cow parts [hoofs] in black dirt, step around backhoe, guy asks for file, give file from army knife, he polishes blade; at a dance, back room with weed & napkin delay, filling my plate at an elaborate banquet "but why served on the floor?"; alternative comic book renames all characters (bad superman?), superman w/2 super girls (with unibrows) in a deep pit (he has weird hairdo); frosted glass building that's energy efficient.

(later?)

+ perhaps the best dream kiss ever: lying down next to beautiful girl who's sitting up, rest my arm on her back, she leans over and kisses me seriously with tongue, I reach up and caress her head with my left hand, it goes on for a while and eventually awake

+(f) moving huge piles of white boxes, they arrive by the truckful and are unloaded on to the platform, they're quite light

(late)

+ parking in the gas station, back up, guy blocks driveway with scooter, guy gets mad ("vigorous") when asked to move it, something with creepy kids, hidden room

+ ? important room (generator?) hijacked by creepy guy, enter to take it back and I sound an alarm, creepy Indian goddess woman taunts "who will hear!? mwah ha ha!", the police arrive, then police chief arrives and arrests & cuffs the policeman, someone slips him a knife to cut his bonds, police chief has an orc-like thick metal band on his nose/face, I think we're doomed if the police are against us.

I am riding my bike along storefronts at a strip mall, I pass a woman eating ice cream at a table, make a left turn, get Lucid, and promptly wake up.

+ observing white-flowered plants; procession of people arrives in a tight group; my best friend has married my colleague LZ's (sister? daughter?), he proposed on the first date, LZ is very drunk and red faced; brown patterned tie display at the bend in the street; drunken celebration, everyone pukes, and keeps on drinking; enter store, but it's being remodeled, see old colleague CS stocking shelves, he looks old, shake his hand, talk about how we used to work together

1. I am in a room helping a western Lama get ready for some religious events, he keeps a low profile & is not well known, but he is qualified.

2. Epic traveling across a city between two apartments because of disagreement with spouse, I walk through a dark alley and conceal my phone from some approaching hoodlums.

yesterday's afternoon nap:

+ woman knows the man, laughing comment, hey I know him too, it's MB, go to shake hand he's now a young asian high school student, in band room, everyone's in costume, so am I, I'm important and awesome, unless someone tells my secret

night:

+ trying to lock the sliding glass door in the hotel room, crazy long locking pole/mechanism, doesn't work, leave to street to do laundry?

+ triple peanutbutter muffin

+(f) leave to go camping with son, which clump of keys is mine?

+ epic! crazy woman driver, fantasy road with dogs & spikes, childhood play-place & hamburger ordering, weird rental car, family arrives at the resort complex, landscape changes suddenly, can't find our cabin address (we have it wrong?) & wife screams at (other resident/cleaning woman?), hanging out in the clubhouse (car-desk, guy who doesn't like roughing it when camping), visiting the cook in the kitchen (baked bread with (spicy?) bite of chicken), discussing the crowded cafeteria full of wheelchairs, police guy says don't leave town without paying or else (it was just a day trip but I guess we should pay) -- quite long "living another life" sort of dream full of WTF moments (noticed, just not "enough" ).

+ corkscrew demonstration fail, wine bottle turns into inside view of computer case with complex ventilation system

today's afternoon nap:

+ dodgy group floating by my campsite on the river, quickly gather up camp, group of guys with antique guns, I have one too, double-trigger, carrying apricot sherbet to the food display, I sample a bit of every dish (using the same spoon), wife is there on left

I wake up in the dark, do a nose pinch, get lucid, and try to get stabilized; I wake up again in the same room the next morning and re-establish lucidity, exit, push myself through a pane of glass like water, then stop myself from karate chopping an old Italian gangster. I tell him I love him instead and his blank face lights up so wonderfully, he starts laughing and I wake up.

My hometown was being attacked by aliens, and I hid in a stranger's home, and I asked the old man if he had guns to defend ourselves, so he brings out a 50 cal. toy gun, "No, we need real guns, hurry they're almost here!", he brought out a toy Gatling gun, and then I saw the aliens at the front door, so we hid in a room with large window, but the aliens could see us through the window, and then a pink, orange and red tiger jumped up through the window, glass flying everywhere, and bit onto the old man's head, so I went and strangled the tiger with my hands, then I heard a loud, very stern voice say, "Hey! Don't!" and then I woke (Mega Dream Signs again - how much does it take?).

Story of my life, my friend, story of my life. My epic was my subconscious screaming for my help to get lucid, and I just was like: "duh….". I mean, THE ENTIRE STREET APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE, I looked: houses, looked away, looked back, and now there's a huge street leading off into the distance. My reaction? "Wow, where'd that come from!?" The car with the license plate *on the driver's door*, the car that was a desk. Oh, and the crazy woman driver drove off the road, over the roof of a house, through the side of the house and through a woman's kitchen with her standing there (at high speed). My reaction? "I hope we didn't kill her….actually we probably did."

Then we drove through a fairy-land on curvy small roads with tiny colorful dogs and sharp shiny metallic spikes jutting out everywhere from the ground (to stop you from parking where you're not allowed, makes perfect sense….)

Exactly, how can we possibly not become lucid every single dream? It's beyond me. Does all reasoning somehow turn off as soon as you're asleep?

As Sageous says, logic works fine, it's the access to memory that's impaired, so that you don't remember that driving through someone's kitchen is (largely) impossible. In dreams it's like the universe just began and everything just *is* this way. There is a "fog and dullness" of the dream state that we must break through. I was sooooo close last night, I was bold and had dream control and was explicitly for a while directing the plot via expectation, but I never stopped and thought/said "I'm dreaming."
------------------

AAaaaand back to on topic. STOP THE PRESSES OMFG WHAT A NIGHT! A real Sensei-3 night (Sensei says our lizard brain instincts of: fight, flight, & sex are the strongest urges in dreams), and I got 'em ALL in one night. At the end, at least semi-lucid, perhaps low-level lucid, but the word "dream" did not cross my mind so I'll count it as semi.

I'm happy I retained as much as I did of the early/mid, I didn't record at all during the night, but did mental journaling. Yes, this is just the *summary*. It's going to take me all day to DJ, but it was so awesome I'm going to write it all up so I remember this.

edit: whew, finished it: full dj: stop-presses-what-night-not-lucid-who-cares-semi-least-fight-flight-sex-64314/

early:

+ fight with evil girls

+ barbarous invaders, we're cowering in the trenches, they scalp our leader's wife, she's brave, I find pairing knife and pass it to our leader to take out the lead invader

+ fantastic rainbow shining fish in bizarre mobile aquariums: "computational" spine fish, "aquarium geeks are brave"

+ talking with VP about my work schedule, the disadvantages of working remotely, another exec (woman) hears me talking about my dedication to the job and says "I *like* you!", the shiny metalic highly magnetic valuable little doodad, I can't decide whether or not to put it in its case or leave it out

mid:
+ no visuals sexy time

+ walk down park path inspecting briefly my (ahem) which is still "excited" from the previous dream, inside building, super heavy/dense little boy ("can you even lift him?"), walking through crowd of girls boldly hugging them, introducing myself, ask one girl her name, doesn't respond, I joke with others about this

+ following/arranging for (president's wife?) and I to arrive in room together, and then kissing her on couch, "We shouldn't do this!" she says (semi-lucid) at the end, followed by (theoretical, dream deteriorating) sexy time.

late:

+ (f) in a house with a group?

+ EPIC: walking outside with group on suburban sidewalk, juicy berry bushes growing in garden, branches extending over sidewalk; sitting around kitchen table, girls and I sneak twice into next room for sexy time , 2nd time I realize we're discovered, I decide to exit hastily, through garage, via my "James Bond-ish" weird formula race car, morphs into jet plane, (semi) lucid, something clicks and I'm flying over wide, detailed vista, ULTRA high def night-time city scene with lights everywhere, see my arms "wow waking-life, even freckles", shoot at things (lasers/torpedos), land looking for "love," expect motel to have bordello, enter, "it's inspection time, ladies!", head upstairs to patio with 3, start in on sexy-time; transition to FA in motel, wife says son wants "<something>-poncho", open door, same patio with 2 of the girls, sneak out and kiss them; evil MC in circus show and the girls in trouble, I/(and "superman?") save them, sit in a circle eating strange cheese telling them how much we love them.

Very vivid, very long dream:

Its my birthday and I am laying in the yard looking at the sky while my oldest daughter "chases bluejays" around the yard (very beautiful), a trip to a crazy Chinese buffet and Dharma center follow.

DJ: Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views - KonchogTashi - Dream Journals

My friend just bought a new Ferrari and asked if I'd like to try it, so of course I said,"Yes!!!!", and then I sat in the driver's seat, turned the ignition on and all the electronics 'fired up' and startled me, next I pushed in the clutch and the car started to roll forward towards a concrete wall, so I tried to move my right foot over to hit the brake, but it wouldn't go, because the stick shift somehow moved between my legs, and I woke before we hit the wall. Epic Fail.

Lots of wakings and lots of scenes, short lucid to finish off the night. FryingMan *likey* micro-WBTB!

+ sister and bro-in-law moved away: sister asking if baby carriages allowed in stores here, discussion of the variation of store font type faces around the world influenced by the local culture; looking in at talking/thinking about a small local savings-n-loan, they adjust prices based on <something>

+ pirate ship: Arya Stark (my sister?) would kill this entire room in seconds of she had her Valyrian steel sword, the crew is tired of bad cooking, surprising chef his secret talent is making a dish that nobody hates; I'm eating a big bowl of "chili" (watery and not spicy) with my non-human (ape?) friend in the B hills at the LH parking lot, I pour him some from my bowl, I try to see my cat using peripheral night vision, leave and my friend is jumps on the tent in the parking lot (won't a car hit them?), guys setting up twin tents with a mini-water tower between them, they get my friend dirty, walk past golden translucent apples hanging from tree & talking about small lawsuits, up hill see my childhood home in the distance, the paint is terribly cracked, I get a view of the roof and it's covered with moss and more cracked mortar/paint, talk about repainting with neighbor boy KL (location aware: I knew where I was); enter home through deck, (mother?) is there talking with some business woman who speaks a foreign language, inside kitchen there is a restaurant-ad for pie with prices and options, including the "lucid" option.

[I wake up and say "lucid pie, are you kidding me, I missed that!?"]

+(f) visit my professor in his office even though we're supposed to have classes over Skype ("I was in the neighborhood….")

+(f) erotic moment with girl in front of mirror, I stand behind her, raise her arms up over her head and try to look at her via the mirror, touch a bit

+ following girls in shorts walking on the street, turns into (massage?) class full of 20's & 30's aged women, getting an erection, blackboard, check out one as walk past her arms are up but I walk too fast, walk past cafe (do they have milkshakes there?) on a street corner under the shade of trees

+ on a street looking down into a store, a woman is there with exposed breasts, I think she's breast-feeding, she joins others in a demonstration/dance in the mall; inside the mall, I stop in my tracks when I encounter a group of girls & adults, I'm a bit self-conscious about checking them out but continue to stand boldly, I do the "if I were dreaming, I'd…." but I don't get lucid

+ with a group of boys in a room, I have a huge bag of blue corn tortilla chips (the bag is huge but I don't have many chips), I'm trying to save them, but offer them a handful of chips, they enthusiastically dive in, I'm getting a lot of salt on my jeans from the chips

[At some point, in a dream I think, I'm missing lucidity opportunities with these groups of girls by starting out with the "If I were dreaming, I'd…."]

+ (lucid #99) I'm walking down a grand staircase exiting a building, and walk by a cute blond girl going up the stairs the other way, think "quick, just RC," get lucid, turn to follow her calling her to me, she eventually comes to me and I wake up.

1. I am working in a greenhouse watering plants and am ushered into an underground bunker to await an impending alien attack.

2. I am younger and out with a girl I am interested in, I ask her out and we go to my childhood home and drink wine, her lips get purple.

1. I am slightly lucid and horribly trolling someone who is chasing me by jumping away from them and flying through the air doing flips at the last second.

2. some friends are over on my property at night time and I'm stabbing them with a cactus by hiding in the bushes and stabbing them when they walk by.

In this dream I was at the custom's office in Cuba, and the officer is pointing at my passport where my signature should be, as he shook his head side to side, and then he gave my passport back and wouldn't let me enter the country, so I went out to the lobby to be with my wife, who declaration problems, so this morning, after I woke, I told my wife about this dream and she said, "OMG, you need to sign your passport! Haven't you signed it?", and I replied, "No?", and she said, "You'll need to do that right away!" We're going to Cuba in a few weeks. Who says dreams don't have practical applications?

^^ Enjoy the empanadas in Cuba, mmm! Dreams while traveling are supposed to be excellent, can't wait to read the reports!

Just OK night last night. Too late to bed and in an agitated state. But a late morning back to sleep victory and more dreaming. Some bold moments continue, which is good.

+ at work, colleague brought dog who crapped all over the floor & stepping around it, fight to recall name of colleague -- I see his face in my mind but can't remember his name & go to see his cube and it's gone, the office is in disarray and restructuring cubes, return amazed and say YES IT'S JUST GONE they don't believe me, later, two colliding sources of symphonic music (one from adjoining room?) are playing during a boss presentation

+(f, semi) boldly approach woman seated on a bar stool in a sexy short dress and start undressing her, wake up (semi) lucidly

+ scene with women and a fairy, who is sexually stimulated by water being sprinkled on her, woman and girls and I line up tightly bunched together, boldly reach forward for woman, whisper a story in the ear of girl in front of me, "SCREECH!"

+ I like a cute blonde who turns out to be a mean ditz, I'm "with her" but she ditches me in a club, walks hand in hand with a guy I hate in front of me, and sits down to diss me, I'm looking daggers at her, her shirt is completely covered with words like a page from a book; annoying guy in group of young people insults me with a stupid statement, I get in his face and say "ooh, that's deep, like 2mm"
