Non-Lucid Dreams
Morning of 09/02/2013The Gas Station and the Lions *Reoccurring dream. This is my 3rd or 4th episode here. One of these dreams even occurred in the house and the gas station was only seen from afar. The house had way too many people in it and was a dirty mess with sofa cushions and clothes thrown all over the place. We are talking (me and a group of about 3 others, one red neck guy about 38, and 2 red neck women artificial blonds at about 45yo) by the old gas pump under the light. It’s a nice summer’s night and we are talking about people as the moths fly under the overhead light. We are leaning on and over the old gas pump, talking about people in our circle of people we know and kind of complaining about them. We all come from the house right across the street from this gas station, we come here to talk and be outside, because inside there can be more people and they are a bother sometimes. There is always a street-going vehicle prominent in these dreams, a muscle car, a fire engine, this time it was an ambulance that went screaming by the front of the station that got all of our attention. In addition, there are always two big cats. Sometimes they seem like cheetahs but they always revert back to being male lions. The lions run around but are harmless and we know it. The cats don’t belong to us but are our friends or something. One of the women complains about the cats saying she wishes they weren’t there all the time and would go away, to which I say, “there is no delete switch on a living creature.” They both whipped their heads around,eyes wide, to glare at me in a shocking, “NO don’t go there!!!” look like I was going to talk about how the dream is not real and ruin it for them. Their creepiness freaked me out and I woke up.
This time I was dreaming that I was in a wearhouse and people were walking around and I stopped and thought "I can do anything in this dream, I have special powers." Then all the DCs faced me and clapped and cheered. This caught me off guard. Then I was in brightly lit room on the floor and I was making up a sign something like this but with sprinkles too. This was really un-guy like. While putting on the sprinkles I started to think "what am I doing???" [you're making a poster for the hip 80's band Got Mouth], a female thought told me. I didn't recognize the name of the band but more so I didn't like the silly ridiculousness of this, it was so not me! Thats when my view panned a bit over to the left side and I saw someone in the space where I was a half second ago and it was the short haired girl, oblivious to me comfortably sitting on this floor folding paper for the sign. There was no way she had just sat there, I came out of her somehow. She looked older than beofre maybe early 30s. Dream ended. In an earlier dream, she did say that she was me. I seem to be dreaming through someone else's dreams, this is very interesting. I haven't gotten a name of her yet, working on it.
a July 24, 2011 Type: Regular Dream. Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 89 10 Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 {telepathy in these brackets} I'm laying on my side on the floor and am putting together some kind of puzzle on a very short wall, like the side of a bathtub, in a room that seems to be like a living room. There are blocks to be stacked. I concentrate a little more. My vision becomes clearer and I notice there is a girl (white aprox 20 yr old) helping me, well really helping build whatever we are building. I see her arm and notice how white it is and thought that she had a white sweatshirt on but no that was her pale skin. I look back over my shoulder at her and notice she has no top on! I play it cool because she doesn't seem concerned and who am I to criticize naked girls? I put another block up and look back again and notice she has no clothes on what so ever! I put another block up and decide to get a good look and turn back yes I can see her naked chest and she just smiles as if nothing is different here! I look back at her again and {she wonders why am looking at her again. She is starting to think something might be wrong and feeling a little uncomfortable.} I put another block up and notice another woman (white 30ish, shortish blond hair, white blouse) walking by {she thinks "how nice" as she looks at us doing our thing.} This is all strange given the nude girl just sitting here. I think about what I should be thinking given this strangeness and decide to just go with it. Dream 2 July 24, 2011 Type: Regular Dream. Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 {telepathy in these brackets} I am strolling mindlessly around a commercial district. I feel lost then think about what I am supposed to be doing here and think "pick up girl friend". I go to a chainlink fenced area that has a gate and a small guard post. There is a strange haze in the air and a dusky light as if it is before dawn or just after sunset. I look at the large facility that seems like a large factory or industrial complex across a large parking lot. {I feel a thought from someone I know} and turn around to see a girl coming out of gated area that I know I know but I also have never met her in my life! She is a pretty red head but I expect her to look better since she has almost no makeup and has just tied her hair behind her head. Then I thought "she has just got off work, get real." GF: So what are we doing? Me: ? I have no clue even who she is or where I am! A white car (a 1970's model) drives by slowly. GF: HEY! she yells at the car {she thinks it may be a taxi} She runs after it throwing her pocket book strap over her shoulder. I just stand there like "WTH?" {She knows its not a taxi now but hopes to get it to pull her a ways down the road} and grabs the car's bumper! She is skating with her feet grinding against the street, I can hear the grinding sound and see some dust from this! She lets go after a few seconds, I can't believed that even worked! She looks back and puts her hands up in victory, she made it! She looks at the bottom of her sneakers and they look worn but still great. She then laughs a bit and looks at me proud of herself.
a July 3, 2011 Type: Regular Dreams. Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Through out the night I had about 5 different dreams, none of which were little more than wandering around. Before these dreams I had something I have never encountered before, there were these extremely real and detailed still images of people. I saw these visions or images and waited for something to happen, for them to move or maybe start a dream or something but they just stood there. A dream started afterward but it had nothing to do with the images. Pakistani Policeman The first one was a Pakistani policeman. I looked intently at him for at least 30 seconds examining him but he never moved or blinked even. Super Girl Later was Super Girl. She seemed to be laughing otherwise this picture is a good copy. Short Haired Woman The third one was a short haired woman with blond hair. She looked a lot like this but was standing and was also laughing. I do have a reoccurring short haired girl but she is always brunette or black haired. She also seems more girlish but this blond seems older perhaps, at least mentally. I have no clue why or what this means, if anything. To anyone who thinks they have an idea, leave a comment.
g 6-26-11 Type: Regular Dream. Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Telepathy {in these brackets} My words or thoughts Others words I found myself in some kind of low budget store but it felt strange. I asked the place {what place this is} [yes you can ask the place as if it were a person] and I got the answer back that this was a store but from my deep childhood. [I remember this place now that I have been reminded of it. It is amazing how many places we have been that we then forget!] I looked around not sure what to do and a woman walked up to me telling me to “stock the shelves”. I looked at her and thought at her {I don’t work here, as if!}, she looked shocked, while looking directly into my eyes radiated a good amount of fear and backed off and walked away. Not sure if it was my reply or the fact that I never opened my mouth. When she was gone I was again free to look around. Still the dream started to pull me in and I thought I was a customer and was there to get something. Then I walked into their employee’s area and thought maybe I worked there but knew I didn’t. I stayed in this strange unknown identity throughout the whole dream doing much of nothing. I am glad my subconscious is starting to delve into the past somewhat.
a Type: Regular Dream. Lucidity: 1 23 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 I found myself on a yacht in its hallway. I walked up a small flight of stairs into a dining area. I looked around and realized just what a yacht really is, a rich man’s houseboat. It felt like a cozy house but on the water with all that nautical flavor to it. Two men walked into the room, one was the owner, guy who lived here and the other a grizzled old veteran type. The vet started to take some things out of a plastic box container that was on the floor. The yacht owner sat down on the bench/seat on the sides of the room that looked out onto the water. The veteran started taking things out of that plastic container and putting them in a sack, the man on the bench looked at him quite sadly. I heard the guy on the bench’s thoughts, he was sad because he had brought the other veteran here from an alternate earth where there had been “no south east Asian conflict.” Those were some strange ideas so I was open to more thoughts. “Iron Mike has lived nearly his whole life here in this world and has still joined the military, I had hoped he would not have to see the horrors of war.” The thoughts were so clear I almost thought they were mine so I wasn’t entirely sure where this information was coming from. It wasn’t Iron Mike he was thinking about… what things to bring to the kids!? What kids? He doesn’t look like the father type but I did get a feeling of charity in there. Iron Mike was now happily going around the room picking things he wanted to take. He walked around me thinking but not saying “excuse me” as he reached across me to get something. I just stood there trying to figure this whole thing out. “There” he said as he put the plastic container on the seat next to the other man. The yacht owner tried to smile. Then I looked around and things started to get a little trippy. It was like a rippling effect and the scene and sounds changed to an earlier time and there were kids running and yelling through the boat and the two men where there enjoying the kids excitement as they played with their new Christmas toys. Every time I looked in a different area there was a different rippling effect and times and scenes changed, one was even at night. I wasn’t sure what was going on it was all a jumble and very confusing. Finally the dream ended, I immediately felt these events would quickly be forgotten so I wrote them down. I did forget but the few things I wrote brought it all back.
a 6-20-2011 Type: Regular Dream. Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Another marathon dream. No I have never run a marathon or even jogged. Not sure what the subconscious is trying to say yet. I was outside on a road with car speeding by, the road was just were it was going to start being a bridge of a good size going over a wide turbulent river. There were a group of people hanging around looking cold in the winter wind. I wasn't cold at all but was wondering why these people were standing around if it was so cold. A woman about 43 years old looking like the typical housewife, white, brown hair above the shoulder, overly caffeinated. Then out of the blue she yelled, "HI EVERYONE! I'm glad your all here! OK lets get our marathon on!" I knew I could run across a medium length bridge it might take me 10 or 15 minutes, no big deal. Then the pack of people I was in started running up stares up on to the arch of the bridge that the cables hang off of! There was a platform we all gathered on before we ran across the arch single file. We ran to one side and came back but I was not hardly lucid at all and is quite fuzzy but when I came back I longed for the platform so much I started to get some of my lucidity back. I lunged for the handrail on the platform, it was so high up are these people crazy!? And there was no safety harness! I saw some old timer running and he looked unconcerned so I let the concern go. We then were back at a work room where we were making some kind of arts and decorations for our parade. I gethered some arts stuff randomly and stood there, with a small pile of arts and craft stuff, thinking how I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I woke and grumbled "marathon dream." What are you trying to tell me subconscious? Why calmly climb a bridge when you can run haphazardly over it?
a 6-16-11 Key: My words in blue Other peoples in green I had another dream mentioning a country, Russia. Type: Regular Dream. Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Gonna start using this, I think I got it from Puffin, great idea. I was working for a charity at a carnival and we were selling carnival food (popcorn, cotton candy, etc) for our charity which was some kind of help for little children who are sick. I was the one out in the crowd trying to convince people to donate. A couple came up to me the woman was in a white fuax fur coat and she had platinum hair. She said "Hello" in a thick Russian accent and the man behind her said also in a thick Russian accent, something like "I have a check for you." I looked at it and could clearly make out the numbers 15,000 and then saw the bank stamp mark on it which lets you know the moneys in the bank, I was happy to get such a good donation. I yelled back at our helpers and a few of the customers getting stuff at our stand, "Hey everybody I got a check for fifteen thousand dollars!" They all cheered! (So much for not being able to read small numbers in a dream, that could have given me a clue.) 6-17-11 Type: Regular Dream. Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 I was walking around an outdoor market and saw an old man running, I felt he was running in a marathon. I knew I could beat him and started running too right through the market! I blew past gramps and still had no tiredness at all, it was like I wasn't even running! I thought, with no tiredness, I have real potential in this sport! I came to a rest stop station which was a tall food cart with all kinds of water bottles and stuff for the runners it was on a corner of stalls in this outdoor market. The guy watching over the cart and working for the race promoters, gave me a water bottle. "Thanks" I said and took a sip. He nodded his head and thought that was all I should get. I asked 'why' in my thoughts and his thoughts told me 'You need to sign the clip board.' I took the clipboard and looked at it and asked in my thoughts what this did? "You sign for the items you want to see at the next rest station." I was not sure what this was all about so I just signed my name and started running. Just then the old dude walked up seemingly not in any rush at all. I ran till I was near a pond and saw another food cart. The guy minding the cart handed me the bottle of water and a white towel. His thoughts indicated that I had signed for these things at the last station, I played along but found I was not tired at all nor thirsty! I dabbed my head with the towel a bit and put the stuff back on the rack. Then I walked over to look into the pond which had a lot of dead brown vegetation in it sticking way up out of the water and koi were in the water swimming around. It was like a lake in a desert. "I'm not interested in this race, maybe I'll finish running it some other time." Woke up for the day. (that was an odd marathon but still the organizing of the things you got are actually better than anything I have ever seen in waking life!)
June 15 2011 I was just jumping around the dream thinking an item could make me the emperor of France. The item was a paper crown from McDonald's, then a piece of a chandelier, then a knife thrown near me. Yes a guy threw a knife at me but at this point in my dreaming life, even nonlucid, I know I have all these abilities and I am totally fearless. Actually I ran at the knife to get as close to possible to where it would land so I could get to it quickly being the item that would make me emperor and all. But this is the 3rd dream in as many nights where I thought something where another country was the main theme. Not sure what all this means, I have no trips planned nor do I want to take one. Hmmm.
a May 18 2011 I am watching some scientist put some scientific stuff together. Scientist: "Its a fusion reactor and if it doesn't work right could vaporize the whole city!" He needs something, I run outside of the lab and run to get it not even knowing or caring what it was! There is a field and its entrance by a road with a big tree at the entrance, it looks very nice but I keep running. There are buildings in front of me but I run behind them between the long fence they had. Some poeople got in my face to tell me to "get out of here" whatever, I think they are zombies and push them out of the way. "Wow these zombies sure fall easily." I go in a door and there is a receptionist area there. I run up grab something from the desk, the people are in the middle of a conversation and stop to see me dash in and take something and dash out. I run back towards the lab. Pushing down a couple of guys and an old lady. "Strange zombies don't even seem to be interested in me but at least they fall easily." Past the field again. "This is boring, no more running." "Wait, whats that up in the sky?" Hundreds of little blocks of white, blue, and red are making up an animated moving picture in the sky using the blue sky as a background. It took up a large section of the sky and was a little animation of a jet liner taking off, flying around the blocky animated clouds and then coming back to the viewer. "Guess its an ad for the airport." [I saw nothing unusual about the sky show as I have seen about a dozen in my dreams but none recently. Since I was a little kid every once in a while a realistic area would have a "sky show". They seemed very real. They had sound to them but I was usually not close enough to the show to here it. For instance, one sky movie where I was pretty close too, and could hear the sound track off in the distance, had a short animation about how to brush one's teeth correctly. They were usually at night and were short movies, 10 or 15 minutes, with helpful messages ever five minutes or so. They were so frequent I was able to even track down the projectors. After having this as a goal fore weeks I closed in on one "show center" surrounded by a chain-link fence. I climbed it and I saw the projectors, about 200 metal cylinders facing skywards, about a yard (meter) high with metal parts and plates in them. They shot some kind of energized beam up into the sky and when the beams crossed they gave off light, different beams gave off different colors. If anyone has seen these let me know.]
a May 13 2011 I found myself playing in some dirt outside a roadside diner. My identity changed to more of that of an adult and I got up and went inside hearing all kinds of happy conversations. My senses were pretty open and I could feel all the people in the place. Once inside I saw it was a nice bright coffee house like place. I walked into the center of the tabled room and then thought 'I'd like to sit with the 2 quirky gay guys, they seem interesting' and started to walk over to their small round table. They got up glaring at me and left. Telepathy works both ways, hmm, I'll have to watch my telepathic outflow more. I sat at the now empty table and listened to people talk which was a bit confusing because their verbal words and their metal words, that I was telepathically picking up, did not always match . Guy1: "Oh that's great!" 'whatever' Guy2: "I know right" 'I'm bored' Guy1 "You must feel lucky?" 'I guess' Guy2 "Oh I am" 'not really' This was messing with my head and I tried to change my focus and then I saw a hovering robot about the size of an office trash can, it had a yellow light on its metal domed top and a red colored hair-like metal decoration under its hat like top, no face. 'I wonder what this is doing here' Robot: 'I'm interested in human men-kind." I was glad it was completely telepathic. It stayed by me and intenetly watched the 2 other guys talking. I plugged my attention into the interplay between the robot and the conversation but it was boring and my mind drifted. 'mankind hmm' 'yep' I then felt a pull outside This was no regular outside place, I felt no humans at all, as if they had never existed, though I thought that they had something like a million years ago. Then I saw the dark figures move, I was looking at a strange group of chimp sized apes, about 20 of them. They weren't chimps, their faces were different, fuller and wider, and they all had a little gray hair around their faces. My senses were still open and their radiation (a telepathic flow of consciousness you get from conscious things) felt a lot like human's but very simple like a 2 year old. One was trying to kill a wasp that had flown out of a hole in the ground. He knew it could sting and was holding it by its wings and hitting it on the hard packed ground to kill it and knock off the stinger. The wasp was hardier than the strange chimp thought and I could feel he was sorry he had chosen to eat this insect. Another youner ape came over and watched and motioned with his hand in a whipping motion to rip the wings off but the older ape didn't get what the younger ape was trying to say. I woke up wondering what happened and why I woke in the middle of that story.
a 4-12-11 Nap Dream 1: Old Grumpy Guy I was at a hospital watching a family visit a family member. There was an old grumpy guy with them that kept on saying sarcastic comments every now and then. They left the sick guy bandaged all up saying “see ya” and the sarcastic old guy mumbled “yea on the other side!” Then outside they all got in a white school bus. The bus was driving along and everyone was sad feeling bad leaving the guy back there and one of the older woman said “we should send him a card.” The grumpy old timer said “Card; you put it in their hand or put it on their bed cuz their dead.” All of a sudden I realized a few men were carrying this old guy in his wheelchair to the front of the bus! He was supposed to get off at the next stop but the bus kept moving slowly so they still pushed him off and remarkably he was still outside the bus’s door and didn’t fall. As our bus picked up speed I could see he had been pushed onto the back of a pickup truck and his wheel had gotten caught between the tailgate and the truck but the pickup truck he was on was still moving down the road! The grumpy guy was pushing back deep into his chair so he didn’t fall out onto the street and a kid in the truck looked back to see this and screamed “Aaaaaahhhh” like in a cartoon when crazy things happened. The scream was so funny and the grumpy guy looked so funny I started to laugh. I woke up trying not to laugh. Dream 2: Laser Printer I was watching a laser printer work. The red laser was burning its image into the page with 2 blue lasers going behind it to cool the burning. I thought this system could let the laser print onto paper without a film and could be darker or lighter.
a 4-12-11 Dream 1: Meat Processing Plant I happen upon a factory and go inside. It looks old and a bit run down but still operational. I see big machines and climb up on one to see a lot of meat on conveyor belts going into a huge grinder. [I had this dream before and this is where the dream ended because I felt drawn to the danger in the meat grinder.] Climbing down I felt that I worked there and started to clean things up like taking a tree branch out of one of the machines. I walked outside and it was raining very hard now so I went under a covered walkway and thought about all the trees that needed to be removed away from near the factory for food safety. I imagined an inspector telling me that is a good job. I felt like I owned the meat processing plant now. Then I walked into a cafeteria and saw some female workers who were moving tables and chairs to the back. A guy came in reluctantly to help them but he was not supposed to because he already had too much overtime. Then I took a huge fire hose on the ground and helped them wash down the floor so that the place would be sterile. Dream 2 : Underground I am walking in an underground hallway to my room. The place looks like it is made of sandstone and the rooms are small. Mine is off to the left, there is no door. Once inside I notice that the wall between the door and the room that gives the room some privacy is still letting the candle on top of my dresser shine out into the hallway. For some reason this bothers me and I check it twice to make sure that the candle is in the right place but it isn’t. I move it to a small candle shelf carved out of the stone. I decide to read now standing up and pick up a book I thought was Jules Vern’s 2000 Leagues Under the Sea. Upon opening the book I realized it was written in something like Sanskrit on pages with blue wavy colorings and it is all in poetic verses like the Iliad. I no longer want to read this book.
a Dream 1 A car in a field is stolen and I beep the horn. The cops arrive and show me a contract and he says “you have to pay me royalties.” I looked at the contract and saw the signature was not mine and said “I didn’t sign that.” Dream 2 Test I walk out of a doorway onto a grassy field. I remember it as a dream college area then I saw a goat and some sheep walking around. They seemed odd since they were just walking around mindlessly. Then I felt really good, I had passed some kind of important test! Dream 3 Future Bridge I am a passenger driving down a road in a little station wagon in California and it is flat and dry outside back dropped by mountains. The road turns into a 12 lane highway and I can see shopping centers and such. I feel like the road is changing in time as well as distance. At the beginning it was the 1970’s now it is the 80’s. Quickly it is the 90’s and 2000’s uneventfully. Then I am flying as we come to a bridge and I let the little station wagon from the 70’s go as it drives below me. Now it is the future but I am not sure when. I fly through the bridge’s upper girders and see how massive this structure is, the I-beams are bigger than I thought anything in my time was being made and wondered what kind of huge factory could produce these monsters. Then I noticed there was lighting up here too. Although it was daytime I got a quick nighttime vision of what it looked like at night and it was a nice bright green bridge. The lighting’s housings were huge, you could easily fit 10 SUV’s inside one. I wondered at the power that would be needed to do this, and all for something unnecessary, but got the feeling that it was a concern but no big deal, so much for energy concerns for the future. The highway went off to the left but I followed my-times highway, which was now just a depression in the vegetation. The old highways had crumbled and acted like a bedrock letting only small plants with small roots take hold and you could follow this ‘depression’ down to the sea, this led into the marshes and parts were washed out. I now felt the familiar time of the early 22nd century but was still not too sure. There was a long beach but no sign of anyone having used it in any way which I thought would be odd especially for California. I felt there was no more to see and reluctantly landed roughly on a sandbar 6 feet out from the beach. There was nothing but those tall beach weeds on shore and a few houses way in back of that. I then felt I was violating some kind of rule landing here but could not take back off. I closed my eyes and imagined flying away but I wasn’t and upon opening my eyes I saw an all green helicopter with only a small white circle for a symbol on the door. The helicopter circled a bit then came down close to me and I could see it was about the size of a small car, far too small to hold a person. Then I heard an emergency type voice say “EXIT THE AREA!” from the green helicopter. I tried to get my legs out of the sand and then I was surprised to see an all blue robot with a human type appearance approach me. It was all blue head to foot with no face just a thin vertical black line in the middle of its “face.” “Oh crap!” Then I am home again in early 2000’s time [not real life home] looking something up on the computer. It’s the old big computer TV like monitor and I start closing windows out as my mom and my other family members are coming in the room and distracting my attention [these are not my family members in real life]. The screen’s background has a pretty woman with short black hair on it who I seem to know and stare at it a few seconds before my sister enters the room talking loudly so I turn the computer off [I do not have a sister in real life]. They are all eating popcorn out of a bowl and passing it around and give me some but I just take out a few and crunch on them. I feel a little sad and not sure why.
a March 4, 2011 These are nonlucid highly symbolic dreams. I have these every now and then and everything is logically strange but symbolically it all makes sense. This “sense” has to be wrung out of it usually over several days of pondering. Dream 1: TSA I am shopping with my mom in what may be an airport and we go into different convenience stores. The TSA is there at the back of the store. Dream 2: Front Yard Dialog will be red I am in my front yard and the air is fresh and new like a spring morning yet it also feels like a dream place feeling of those things, feelings I am used to. Looking at the yard I see a red something on the lawn and go to check it out and it is a little red book titled Eden in gold letters. While walking across the lawn to my car my neighbor [who in RL never says much] says “here ya go!” as he holds out one of my plastic Japanese tea bottles. “Thanks” I say and start to walk off. Being more friendly than he ever is in RL he says cheerfully, “pay it forward” as if this is like saying ‘see you later.’ I say “K” and he replies “or sleep with a fatty…” ‘WTF, what did he just say?’ I thought about this to such an extent I woke up!
