Non-dream Dream Lucid Dream

I was on a camping trip with my wife in the Sequoias and I was able to recall a piece of a lucid dream. I had a really bad headache most likely resulting from altitude sickness and therefore I did not get much sleep. I wasn't able to write these down immediately upon waking so I only remember a small portion of the dream.

I am in a slam dunk contest in front of a small crowd. The fans are all sitting in fold up metal chairs. We are not on a basketball court, just concrete stage with a hoop. My first couple of dunks are really lame and I am trying to figure out what to try next. I think back to my younger days when I used to do through-the-leg and 360 dunks. This recollection makes me become lucid. It is now my turn to dunk again. I jump incredibly high, 360 spin to my right, put the ball through my legs and windmill dunk the ball. The crowd is very impressed and wants to know how I did it. I walk up to the front row and say "check this out." I jump up and freeze at the top of my jump. I hover up in the air for about 10 seconds.

Next I am watching a swimming competition. The event the is going on consists of diving in the water and gliding about 10 yards. I think to myself "I am lucid so I can dominate this event." I enter into the competition and win.

Wake up.

Non-dream Dream

Dream 1:

I am at my English professor's house getting my paper graded. We are sitting close together on her couch.

This was a very long and involved dream. Unfortunately this is all I remembered.

Dream 2:

I am at work arguing with GM over someone's project. This person is trying to use a drug with proven toxicity in another program. I am arguing that we should give it a chance because the tox might be due to the drug going somewhere completely different from where it will go in the new program. I say that even if there is only a 1% chance of it working, those are better odds than our current approach to drug discovery. This person (a woman I think) presents her ideas to a large audience and GM is talking mad shit on her throughout the entire talk.

My co-worker YA is technically not in my department although she works directly with me.

I hear a strange buzzing noise and I wake up to find my wife's phone is vibrating.

Dream 3:

I am writing my previous dream in my dream journal. (As always with a false awakening) I am writing the dream in incredible detail.

Wake up for real.

Dream 4:

I come home early from work and find two young boys playing in my pool. I jump in and play some basketball with them. They ask me to put in a diving board. I ask them how much that would cost and they didn't know. I say that if it is less than $1000 I will do it. Next I am playing 4 square with them and my wife with tomatoes. My wife asks me to have sex with her but I said not with the little kids around.

Dream 5:

I am in a very serious flag football and basketball league. The basketball portion is 2 on 2. I get picked to represent my school even though I am not on the normal school basketball team.

Non-dream Dream

Dream 1:

I am playing in a basketball tournament in someone's house. My boss, my mom, and my dad are in the kitchen watching us play 5 on 5 in the living room. There are strange rules that we are debating. At the end of the game each player takes 3 3-pointers, then another, then a dunk. I got mad rebounds.

Dream 2:

I am at my brother's huge house playing poker. My brother announces that he is going to have a $200k one-year anniversary in Anaheim. He is sending out invitations that state that everyone will be picked up in fancy cars. My wife is sitting next to me and my friend CS is across the room. NG is also there. I notice little flowers that look like colorful christmas trees which I identify as strawberries. We eat some. I win a huge hand (a couple thousand dollars) with most of the chips coming from CS. My winning hand is a straight flush, 4-8 of spades. She is really pissed about it because she was positive she had a winning hand. I believe she has a full house. My wife is a real bitch when she announces my hand to everyone - directed at CS. She slowly reads off my hand one card at a time. After this hand I realize that I am almost late for a meeting with my boss's boss CR.

After realizing this I find myself on the campus where I work. The grounds are covered with swimming pools filled with toys, slides and small children. For some reason I am completely naked in the pool. I am very embarrassed and do my best to cover myself up because the children's parents are watching them. I manage to get out of the pool and find out that there is a flea market going on as well. I find a booth selling jeans and find my perfect size. I steal them and put them on without drying off.

I head over to building 15 wearing only wet jeans and get into a MASSIVE elevator - as big as a house. There are many pairs of shoes on display in the elevator but they don't fit me. I am having difficulty finding CR's office, which I believe is the 12th floor, 17th wing, room 12. The floor I am on reminds me of the airport in Cancun Mexico.

I wake up and try to visualize the dream scene because I want to continue.

I arrive at my meeting with CR about 40 minutes late. My other two co-workers are there and I kinda just slip into the conversation. I answer two questions confidently about how well we all work together then the meeting is over. When the others leave I plead to CR to give me 5 more minutes to meet with him. He hesitates. I say 2 minutes and we sit back down. I say to him "I feel like I owe you an explanation. I have had a very rough day. I was with my brother and niece helping" with something and she got very sick. I stayed to help out and make everything OK. CR doesn't believe me. I try to make my case more believable by saying that the doc said its one of those 1-2 day illnesses called (I can't think of something to say). I am doing a horrible acting job and I can't come up with something to say. Finally he says a name and I say I don't think that's it. Somehow this makes him believe me and we start having a normal conversation. He loves me now and we go out onto the train (which inexplicably is operating on my work campus).

I explain to CR that it is fun to jump around on the train and railings around the buildings. Before I can even finish my sentence he is off jumping around and I follow. I get a text message from CS saying something like "we don't like each other anymore" and "my excuse was always the wedding so what now?" She is really upset with me after the whole poker incident. CR and I are jumping all over the buildings and railings now. I receive a message that my wife is with my parents at a 7-11 store (which also has sit down dining) and I have to take her home.

I jump onto another moving train that my brother and my dad are on - they are most likely heading to the 7-11 as well. My brother is really impressed with my jump. My dad is next to me freezing with the heater on and a blanket. I am hot so I put the AC on me and the guy next to me thanks me. The plan is to take my wife home and then go talk to CS.

I get to 7-11 and my wife is completely wasted with my friend WW, my mom and some other friends. My wife and WW are extremely fat. We get outside of the store and there is a huge parking lot on a steep slope. My wife starts dancing and slips. She rolls down an asphalt hill at incredibly high speed. I run after her and finally catch up to her as she slams into a curb. I carry her to my dad's truck like a baby. On the way I realize that a bunch of people filmed her rolling down the hill and were going to post it on you tube. I ask my wife if I should make them erase it. (I don't remember the reply). My dad gets mad at me for carrying my wife like a baby but she says that she is comfortable. I get her into the back of the truck then I wake up.

Non-dream Dream

Dream 1:

I am in a crazy Workaholics dream where we are trying to outdo each other in everything. We are going on water slides in the wilderness. There is also lots of fighting (play fighting I think).

Dream 2:

We are at the wedding and my Dad gives the welcome toast too early when everyone is walking into the reception area. Nobody really hears him or pays attention. The wedding coordinator makes him do it again once everyone is seated.

Dream 3:

I am subbing in a basketball league and I'm playing mad defense. I am blocking and stealing everything. I also made ~1/2 of my shots and almost dunked on someone. People were amazed and very frustrated.

Dream 4:

Me and some people are taking turns flying a space ship to Mars. We are practicing our landings. I dominated.

Dream 5:

There are a bunch of beings that were judging people. I believe the setting is the Pam Ln backyard. They turn blue if you are OK and green if you are not OK. There is a little boy in front of me. I am in my underwear. I steal something from the little boy's backpack - a bunch of hard drives, wine and beer.***. All of the beings turn yellow (which I guess is even worse than green) and I am very embarrassed. I think I am going to prison. Somehow they let me have a do-over and I got off the hook. They said I have to throw a tennis ball off of the thin strip of wood above the garage door, then catch it in the dark in order to be spared. My cats were there too.

***Did something much worse too

Non-dream Dream

Dream 1:

I am looking for work with JK from Orange County. I am selling some kind of scam on the side.

Dream 2:

I am involved in a boat crash in the ocean. It is kind of like the show Lost - we split up with some people going on land and some sticking to the sea. I go on the land. I take something important from the boat. A huge man who shouldn't be able to swim fast catches me but I throw the important item to someone else.

Dream 3:

CG is dunking in a basketball game versus some little kid. We are in my bedroom playing next to my drunk dad. I am worried that I will wake him. If he wakes up and sees me doing sh*t I am ready to throw down with him (strange).

Dream 4:

I am involved in politics in another country in ancient times. I am a political leader and there are rioters attempting to break into my castle. They are being held back by my army. They finally break through and are about to kill me. I agree to follow someone's lead and change priorities to survive.

Dream 5:

Humans are being tortured by little bright / shiny frog-like creatures that use our bodies for replication. When ready to hatch our minds are transferred to them then thousands of them burst out of our bodies in a flash of light.

Non-dream Dream Lucid Dream

I am at high school basketball tryouts and I block the sh*t out of my friend El. It was such an awesome block that I keep trying to play it back on my phone. I block a bunch of other people too. I get traded because of my parents somehow (not my real life parents) even though it is high school.

At this point I "wake up" from the basketball dream and draw a picture of the scene where I block El to show my wife. I look down at the picture and it is incredibly life-like (and I am a terrible artist). At this point I realize it is a dream (false awakening). I am extremely popular at my high school. Every chick wants to bang me (and does). I walk into a classroom to learn about cows and they slaughter them and try to feed us blood. I don't want anything to do with it so I walk out with a couple of chicks to film a porno.

Non-dream Dream

Dream 1:

My Dad is being an asshole to me and some of my friends. He keeps making us fetch baseballs during a batting practice. I hit one over the house and everyone is impressed.

Dream 2:

I am playing basketball and draining all of my shots - impressed everyone.

Dream 3:

I have a drug garden with various mushrooms, etc. There is a big party for me and I am smoking weed. I mail some of my garden to some place to have it converted into weed but then I realized I can get into serious trouble.

Non-Dream Dream

I was able to recall bits and pieces from 5 separate dreams today:

Dream 1: When I woke up I remember thinking "I am not prepared." That is all I can remember.

Dream 2:

One of my co-workers, WW, appears to me looking like Kung Lao from the Mortal Kombat video game. He is very wise.

Dream 3:

I am participating in a sort of corporate olympics for my company. The two events I play in are baseball and basketball. The baseball tournament is a very big deal and I am the star player. Our team goes on to play coaches from MLB. Someone on the team named Chung (fit, bald Asian guy - don't know him in real life) has a baby.

In the basketball tournament I help some crappy player dunk the ball. I eat a Big Mac and some other burgers. The Big Mac has 4 patties and I am allowed to eat them because I am playing basketball (I can burn it all off).

Dream 4:

I am in some sort of college scene in a weird apartment building run by an old lady (someones mom?). The apartment walls are covered in 100's of pictures of all the tenants.

Note - this old lady has appeared in my dreams before but I don't know who she is.

Dream 5:

My current neighbors have a zoo in their back yard. Even though they are my current neighbors, my house is the one I grew up in on Pam Ln. I get into a fight with the neighbors because their zoo animals escape and come into our yard. My cat Vito kills two of them and tracks another over the fence (this was rather comical because this cat is 17 pounds and does not climb fences).

I clearly recall seeing a baby giraffe and two very strange birds looking at me through the kitchen windows.
