Non-lucid, fragment

I am working outside in the sun at my usual waking job. Myself and my coworker stop by at my cousin's house for a visit and someone tries to sell us a subscription to a language program.

I have a vague recollection of the fact that there are more details than this, but I am unable to recall what those details actually are.

Monday, September 8
Sunday, September 9

Both nights I woke up in the night and recalled my dreams. I thought of writing them down, but then decided that my recall was clear enough at that moment that I could remember them in the morning and write them down then. No recall either time. I may have to start jotting down key words on a scrap piece of paper.

Monday night I have slight recall - there is an impression of multiple people moving around, and we are all within a large building.

lucid (MILD), non-lucid, fragment

I am throwing boomerangs with a few other people in a large open area with a treeline off in the distance and grassy rolling hills. The words 'lucid dreaming' are rolling through my thoughts, and I begin to hear them in the dream as if they were distant thunder. I become lucid and realize that it is due to my mantra as I was falling asleep that I became lucid. The boomerang I have is a bright yellow, and as I throw it and it comes back to me, it turns into a triangle shape. I decide to make it into a frisbee. I press against the side of it with my thumb, and it splits into multiple brightly colored triangles. I realize that this will not work, so I give it a good snap with my wrist, hear a loud crack, and it becomes a regular frisbee. I throw it, and it flies up, circles around me, and lands back in my hands. The remainder of the dream is me throwing the frisbee and flying after it.

I remember more dream fragments that also seem very vivid, and possibly lucid, but I am unsure if they are parts of the same dream. It's a great feeling to finally be lucid again.

Non-lucid, fragment

I am in a classroom at school. I walk up to the board to write down some notes. When I sit back down, my teacher is rolling around the room in his chair, and a large amount of glowing dust is floating in the air, much like the compound from a glowstick when you break it. My friends and I walk around during the lunch break.

My next lucid must be sometime soon, as it's been a while with just non-lucid dreams. I'm feeling overdue for a good lucid

Non-lucid, fragment

I am posting on here on DV . The detail of the conversation is incredible. Something wakes me up and the dream fades within a few seconds.

My dream recall has been low the past two days, so this is all I've got.

Non-lucid, fragment, disturbing

I am at my home, in the yard outside. It is mid-afternoon, and the sun is shining. My parents are on their way home, and I am supposed to get as many 'points' as possible. I gain points by shooting things with a small pistol-like object. There are a few birds worth 250 points each, and three cats which are worth 200, 300, and 500 points. Being a cat lover, I am reluctant to do this. My parents arrive home, and I hide in the trees, because I have not gained any points yet. I lay down in the grass as they step out of the van to look for me. Two of the cats walk up to me, and I target them for a total of 500 points. My parents hear the sound and come looking for me. I try to hide deeper.

This is a very strange dream. I am generally not prone to nightmares or anything disturbing like this, but I have been sick lately, and perhaps that or the medicine I'm taking has altered my normal dreams slightly.

Non-lucid, fragment

I am at a school playground-type area, with a bunch of my friends. We have to collect something, but I am not clear on what it is. I leap from one playground structure to another, slide down onto the dirt, and leap on top of the school building. At this point I have collected 23 of whatever it is we have to collect, and the next closest of my friends has collected 7. Confident of my win, I go inside the school. I enter a large empty room with grey carpet. There is a kid dressed up in foam battle gear and helmet with a foam mace and chain that is nearly the size of himself. Suddenly I have a giant foam shield, and we begin fighting. The battle ends 7-1, with myself on the winning end.
This dream is focused on numbers for some reason, and all I can recall is these bits and pieces, without any sort of transition between them. One of the strangest dreams I have had in a while.

Non-lucid, brief lucidity

I am at a bar with a friend of mine waiting for a band to play. They are scheduled to begin at 4:00pm, and it is now 6:00pm. I look at the table, and see it's glassy, bubbly surface, and a sudden thought strikes me: "I'm only 17....what am I doing in a bar?" and I become lucid. The background fades to black, and I am looking at the table and my hands on it as if through a filmy plastic. I attempt to stabilize the dream by focusing on my hands, and feeling the surface of the table, as well as reinforcing the fact in my mind that I am lucid dreaming. This meets with no success. I allow lucidity to slip away after getting frustrated. My friend and I wait longer, until at 8:00, with still no band, we decide to leave. On our way out the door, we run into another friend of mine, and decide to go get some supper. We are driving around the city choosing where to go when the dream ends.
I believe it is the ADA technique that I have been trying lately that brought on this lucid dream. At the moment of lucidity it was more like a daydream than a lucid dream - I was just as aware of my sleeping body as I was of my dream body. This would have been a good moment to try yelling 'Clarity now!', or something similar in order to bring myself more fully into the dream.
