Thread: Share your dream from last night in one sentence

+ walking to my car, I see thugs box in my car to trap me, I return to work to call the cops

+ my son S2 and the bus [vague]

+ at my new place on the water, I see shallow boulders and want to mark out their location with red/white hazard tape on the dock so nobody jumps/dives there; a bear/man occupies the cliffs across the water that I also wanted to claim

Non-lucid: Something about going on a trip, buying a shit load of toothbrushes and stuff.

I was in Osaka and and a Japanese YouTuber that I watched entered the store that I was in and she called me by my name, correct pronunciation and everything!

galantamine night, better/more recall but no lucids (but hey, I got back to sleep!)

night theme: digging/ditches/ground depressions

earlier:
+ waking in my outside bunk bed at the university early (4:45am?) while the students flock in to class; see a high school acquaintance, plus one topless girl

+ [mix 1st and 3rd person] I'm riding/observing a bike rider who makes miles high jumps from out of swimming-pool ground depressions, jumping from area to area several times, it's amazing how it works I think

+ [long, vivid] sitting at table outside with girl, we want to find a room, get use of a secret staff room which has a below-ground claustrophobic labyrinth entrance and a complicated door mechanism, the room which is also a cafeteria, people arrive and eat, walk past the mojito stand, and a group of girls all dressed in coordinated PJs

+ a friend calls me into the ditch he's digging, he moons me right up close, I see everything (he's a hermaphrodite), I think he's making a pass at me

later:
+ riding a motorcycle up to a fuel/cake stand (the cake is the fuel), they want to sell me the Cinnabon with frosting but think the frosting will mess with the engine, I take away several to share with my wife and eat one as I leave

+ observing people disembarking from a low [night theme] dock, there are two ladders (I need to choose), thinking that the close one is dangerous/unstable, the people come up the near ladder, climbing all up at the same time and even on top of each other

+ riding a bike through a city-scape, on the lookout for bike thieves, enter a bookstore run by two odd small baby-men, they mention an animal nesting on the shelf running around the top of the store (I don't see it), I turn and leave, noticing a book on the right-hand wall shelf as I exit

Had hypnagogic hallucinations but, I had no WILD, I was sleep deprived.

No sleep supplements at all, shorter night, but good recall across multiple wakings, some very vivid experiences:

+ car parked at work covered with colored, neon, animated chalk graffiti, stare at it along time, some (kid?) comes and wipes it off leaving a white/grey smudge

+ in traffic planning route through bad traffic, into parking garage, try to avoid scammy "helper" at the kiosk, but end up giving him a tip of a fistful of coins, a mixture of quarters and pennies

+ submarine/torpedo battle in a river

+ at former company N, eating chips on display in hallway, fill up a plate to take back to my cube, black CEO asks me about my kids, walk into a cube and past a bunch of engineers in open cubes bumping into them in super narrow hallway; standing in the kitchen looking out at the organization of break room tables

+ cutting and handing out wedding cake, discuss the sizes in grams, want to cut double sized for me & wife

+ at the fence of my property and neighbors, clothes are hanging, neighbors push open fence and come in, I want to weld it shut again; ice cream machine in operation, neighbors don't want to go with the workers

Earthquake and being College.

early:
+ [vague] something about a bear [DS] or large mammal?

+ tearing pieces from a very large vampire (bat?) wing, seemingly made of thick jelly, lying on the ground

later:

+ [epic! vivid, long] sailing adventure, 10+ scenes: signing up, receiving instruction on hoisting the side-jibs and the central main sail, discussion of boat speed, climbing the ladders and wondering about having to respond quickly to commands, thinking about safety and ask when do we put on our PFD, fight with crew member [who is me, he bites my hand on ladder], near collision with coast and another boat, buying equipment on land in a store (sun screen, lip balm), emerging up from below into sun my hat with brim in TINY, crew mate getting up the nerve to go below to get something (sea-sickness), I grab control and lose control of boat which spins in circles & I can't see where we're going, advertisement-like interlude of a very powerful cruise ship tearing around local beaches and rivers at high speed

I got Hypnotized to believe that someone stole the earth and started to Chase them around but, then I realized that it was a dream and I decided to fly.

Something about a murder mystery.

pretty bad night of sleep, dreams faint and vague except for final ones

+ odd visions of torture/restraint harnesses that involve embedding an iron peg in the head of the victim and then attaching that to head mountings and other restraints (must have been a dream because I can't remember anything else during the day like that)

+ [vague, forgotten] some outdoor adventure with people?

+ [medium long sequence, fairly vivid but low awareness] driving a very high public bus in city traffic; arrive to building and enter it, riding/waiting on escalator waiting for admission, checking out the girls around, getting down/off inside, in the ladies' dressing room, see some bits, embarrassed about trying on a women's outfit in order to preview it for my [1st] wife.

+ [vivid] turning through the pages of a very large (1m square) standing photo album from back to front, I think this is a purchase requirement for an Apple laptop and the laptop itself is glued/mounted to the first page, looking for a particular woman and only see her at the very front, she still looks different than expected [and no laptop, forgot about that in the dream]

Funny that as in my dream the night before last my mother stopped her car in an unsurfaced area and I saw a sign saying No Stopping and thugs were approaching the car. I hadn't read your post before this.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I didn't get lucid last night but had some odd dream scenes. Most notably:

* I was an undergrad at a university (Educational institutions are a big dream sign) and was having to move all my stuff out which included clearing a room in a science department that they had strangely let me fill up with cheap paperback books unrelated to the subject (I questioned this but my brain explained it away as them having plenty of empty space in the building--for whatever reason I didn't dig further).

* I was in an urban backstreet and a street vendor was offering to sell some kind of coffee flavoured snacks, but for him to make the snack I was required to carry an enormous cup of coffee across the road to him, which must have been about 4 feet tall and didn't look like a real cup of coffee at all--more like a giant plastic model of a latte you might see on the outside of a coffee shop (Bizarrely I did not question this in any way, so the logical parts of my brain must've been quite switched off at this point--surreal or what?), and ISTR I had to repeat this ritual twice, once on each side of the road!

* Later I was sitting at a table, apparently in a restaurant, aware of lots of space around the table, quite a high ceiling, with another family eating at the right hand end of the table who had left a plate of fish shaped biscuits by an empty chair so I ate some but then the man who may have had a shaved head came back to the chair and wanted to fight me for taking them so I explained that I had washed my hands many times very thoroughly with soap before touching them, because of the pandemic!

Getting into an elevator that was only the thickness of a windowpane, with Bri, and had to worry about fitting into that small space because I was way too big. (Normal size) Don't ask.

+ drawing on the world using a computer drawing program: create a tall fence, add smiling sunshine emojis, see the result in the world, wonder if I take it away in the program if the results will immediately reflect in the world, both sons (young age) are there and participating

+ helping [deceased, 1st wife's] mother-in-law pay her debts at a pharmacy; walking with her in SF saying we normally don't do "touristy" things; see son S2 crying because his paid game character died

+ Moving furniture with Suz, she's sitting on a chair, her dress is hiking up and I smooth it back down for her because her hands are full

+ In a gym working out, some gym long-timers are making fun of me as not being serious; see Val. from high school, ask her to the reunion, she says her day was Wednesday

Non-lucid:

* I saw a historic town on the edge of a coastal cliff subject to erosion, with old buildings both at the top and bottom of the cliff and the ones at the bottom seemed abandoned but undamaged; there was a town hall at the bottom and an identical looking one at the top.

* I walked along a beach presumably at the bottom of the same cliff and saw ancient buildings on top of high rocks sticking up from the sand and decided I could climb up to an ancient rectangular temple.

Iris kept touching my face and saying my face was soft like little baby's cheecks.

Long night of sleep (yay), lots of dreams, early recall a bit spotty due to no recording

early:
+ walking outside at night, with views of the moon

+ get frisky in the back seat with the goth girl passenger in a car driven by a goth girl that pulls up offering me a ride

+ in an office, see a printer?

later:

+ walking outside daylight with people, open park/urban area, think/talk bout pathways [location/path awareness, woohoo], talking about new convenient bike paths that have recently been opened

+ toss a toy on the ground that breaks when walking with sister, come up to boundary area with lots of food kiosks

+ prayer song with mother and daughter, she's singing not quite the right tune and I'm stumbling a bit for the right words

+ in a gift shop I want to buy a surprise gift for my [1st] wife to present her after the end of our vacation

+ at a buffet, crowded with people, a group of girls crowds right in front of me, it's a dessert bar, I see plates with a "mars" bars (special flavor) ice cream dish, a traditional mars bar ice cream treat, see girl with 4 chocolate ice cream bars on a plate spread out like a fan

I went to meet my online friend's friends and family and I rudely listened to ambient album while we were there. We then went to a local fast food chain where they made me wait a long time just to mess up my order and they ended up making something else because they were closing soon.

Fully lucid for the first time in a while I am overwhelmed with emotion and ugly crying to my dream characters while telling them how happy I am to finally be in a hyper realistic dream.

I also ask one of them which part of me they represent; "I am the part of you that struggles with academia" she responds

earlier:

+ I'm a soloist in a vocal concert, leaning out the window yelling encouragement to the conductor and orchestra below, psyching myself up because I know it's a tough audience, I'm trying to show them I mean business

+ scene in a parking lot, cars driving, one has two toilet paper rolls attached to the front bumper, chatting about chemicals used in children's birthday parties with a group of people

later:

+ work scene, books binders

+ walking outside at work on a Saturday, surprised to see so many other employees on site

+ throwing food stored in a pumpkin down into the yard in some guy's house

+ baseball scene, I toss a magnetized hockey puck up in the air and it sticks firmly to a metal pole

* I drew detailed yellow birthday ballons on a car for my father.

* A libertarian¹ burnt some oats in a sack ruining them for everyone else.

* A school friend was playing at being a spy but his adversaries were real, which worried me, but he dismissed the risks as comparable to smoking.

* I was writing letters to a friend or lover, stapled a hospital appointment paper to one of them and then removed it again when I realised I actually needed it at the hospital.

1.Without wanting to bring too much politics into this, I think civil liberties for individuals should be defended but that it shouldn't be an excuse to let big business trash the planet, violate human rights etc.

Being stalked dream.

earlier:
+ in a (sandwich shop?) at the counter there's a man working there, and he's closing up, saying that everyone who already got in their order will still be able to pick it up later, I'm not sure I'll get processed

+ Something about a murder, they're looking for the suspects, I don't want to leave the area because it will make them suspicious of me and they'll find me eventually

+ in a room with my two sons at a young age [DS], and a third boy, they're doing pullups, then my 5th/6th grade teacher Mrs. R, who is smoking a cigarette, shows up outside and is knocking on the door.

later:

+ daytime/daylight, in a car with others, I draw out our route on my palm tracing out a "Z" like pattern

+ driving/floating/walking through twilight urban but empty environment, wife does gymnastic back hand springs along on a transparent walkway over a busy freeway, which freaks me out

The lucid task of the season stuff.. completed.
