non-lucid

(DILD Low level Lucid, little control)(From last night, tried WILD earlier)
I'm with my sister, and were on a train to Auckland New Zealand, we've still got a while to go .
The journey passes (story jumps) We arrive at 'central station' and get off the train.
The station has a glass canopy roof, like they do..
I recognise the "GLASS" (dreamsign), I start to question my reality & perform an RC using the text on the train info boards
(They're the old fashioned 'split flap' mechanical displays)Low level Lucid!!

We walk into the city and explore it on foot for quite a while & see famous sights like 'the skytower',
the harbour with all of the yachts with there sails up, and in one of the side streets we get burgers from the 'white lady' burger bus.
<<Never been to NZ in waking life, flight too far & expensive, but would like to go & have read stuff about Auckland>>

We meet an old woman beggar, who waves a wet-wipe/baby wipe at us,
and mumbles something about it.
.. I reach into my day napsack and give her a large paper cup, and then she wanders off
<How random's that?!?>
Lost Lucidity during this encounter

After a short while, we've decided we want to do something else..
... So we find some transport to go elsewhere.. Soon we find a small terminus halt, which has tram track, and a very low platform (about 3-4 inches)..
At this platform, there is a queue of two seater'bubble cars' on the track, we get into the front one, close the doors and get transported away...

...We end up in the countryside, with rolling hills and grass meadows.
We get out and walk for a while, and find people riding quad bikes over a rough terrain course

A guy comes up to us and tells us we will have to wait 3/4Hr for the bikes, and we can wait over there, pointing to the edge of a desert (we didn't notice before)

I walk over to the desert edge, and walk on the sand for a while. (Don't think my sister joined me here)
I can feel the sun on my back & can see shimmering heat haze on the sand.

I’m inside the 'airside' departures at a large international airport, airside, like Amsterdam Schipol..
There is a huge area of glass window.. Its just slightly light outside... I think its really early morning
I'm looking out across the tarmac, and runway, thats all 'lit up' seeing planes taxi-ing, taking off and landing

(Non-Lucid ... No induction technique tried..)

I check the USB/charge skinny connector is plugged into the bottom of my iPod, wondering why it wont charge.
I notice that a couple of inches further down the cable, the outer sleeve is damaged & that there is bare copper showing..
.. I think "Ah, thats why. Its going to be REALLY expensive day, I'll have to buy a new one (cable) today"
Dont get the logic... In waking life, ipod cables are not expensive

Waking life I've had some worries over a close friend for quite a while...
We normally share quite a lot, but I can tell there is something going on, that he's not sharing at the moment
I'd like him to open up on what ever is going on, because I'm worried about him}

I’m walking around a large glass topped 'observation deck' on top of a tall tower.
It has a glass floor as well, so I can see the city down below.
There are tables and chairs in the observation deck,

Theres a set of ornate (presumably lift) doors in a solid bit in the middle of the observation deck.. (the tower)
... My mate walks through the doors, and comes towards me purposefully..
... We give each other a big embracing hug
(I woudn't do that in waking life, even for a close friend...)
... He tells me "everything's going to be alright, and he needs to sort a few things out by himself"
... We go and take a seat at one of the tables, which I didn't notice before had a felt lined backgammon board in the table top
... We start playing backgammon (Don't know how to play waking life.. so must have made up the rules in my dream)
... While playing, we talk for a while about random/meaningless and irelevent/mundane stuff
..... Part way through the 'random' conversation he tells me how spending time together with a mate is what he needs right now
... We carry on chatting any playing

I am walking through a glass roofed arcade type building, with cast iron beams and a large vaulted glazed roof
... Just like old fashioned 'victorian' type shopping arcades

It was very overcast outside, and raining heavily.

The arcade was a meandering curved pattern, rather than a straight line (like a shopping centre)
... The sides of my 'pathway' through the arcade was lined with large Yucca plants in terracotta pots.
The floor of the 'arcade' was pea-gravel, which crunched as I walked on it

Waking life I've been trying to WILD, and have been getting quite close.
So I went to bed at my normal time, with the intention to get 4hrs+ REALLY GOOD sleep,
so that I should easily WILD when I've taken my early morning 3.30 to 4am pee}

(Non-Lucid)

I dreamed that I couldn't sleep for most of the night & that I was tossing and turning..
.. Though the night seemed to pass by quite quickly.. it was soon really light outside,
and eventually was that not far off my normal alarm waking time in waking life
.. I was worried that my lack of sleep would wreck my chances of a WILD.

I even at one point, picked up my mobile in the dream, and browsed a few of pages on the subject of sleep

(I know it was a dream, because...
1) The web pages I browsed on my phone in the night weren't in the browser history
2) On recollection in the morning, it felt 'dreamlike'
3) I 'woke up' when my alarm went off in waking life, without feeling like I hadn't slept

Waking life A couple of days ago..... I was REALLY stressed on a return work trip by air... Bad days!!!
I had both outbound and return travel days of missing my connecting flights & aircraft breakdowns making me really late!!
Any connection with an unpleasant travel dream???}

I’m at an outdoor / above ground city ‘Metro’ station. The “line callout plan” at this station shows this is the green line. The station is in a large pedestrianised public open square with a pink and grey granite oval building. Theres hot dog sellers walking around the square and I can smell the food...

The metro train pulls up at the station & I board... Its like a dull white and silvery white two tone train, with a red and blue zig-zag logo on the side... Inside the train has red plastic seats, with blue padded bits in the middle... Theres quite a few people on the train, some are sat, some are stood up hangling on straps and rails... I'm stood up!!

A couple stops down the line, a group of lads get on. They are wearing 'hoodie' tops, track-trousers and bright coloured trainers...

They are being really antisocial and are swearing, making loud personal comments, spitting and generally upsetting all of the other passengers in my carriage. They then start dropping stink bombs...

I eventually get annoyed, and confront them about there behavior... One of them turns around and responds back
“Don’t like the smell of eggs..Tssk … You can S**K my D**K” ... I back down from the confrontation

The youths get off a stop or two later, and I carry on with my journey, shaken..

A few stops later, I get off the train at an above ground station, that I dont recognise
(Journey was above ground a while, then underground for a while, and then back above ground)

I'm in an open air station, in a gorge (~50-60ft deep), with stairs going up the side of the cutting to the exit, and some trees casting some shade from overhead.

I'm lost, and beginning to panic, I find the “Line callout map" on a notice board ... This station isn’t on the line!!
I start climbing the stairs to get out of the station cutting... The closer I am to the exit, and the more view I get of the station, the more I realise I'm lost!! ... Where am I??

Awaken, sweaty!!

(FULLY NON LUCID)


I'm a centaur, with brown hair... I'm in a forrest, with other centaurs.

Around my neck, I have an amulet/necklace... Which is sitting on my bare chest.
... The 'necklace' bit that goes around myneck is a thin leather strip, just like the leather shoe-laces you can get
... The amulet on the end of the strap is a long and thin green emerald, with tapered ends.
The emerald is set in silver mounts, that are two snakes, one forming a clockwise and the other an anticlockwise helix around the stone. The two heads of the snakes touch at the top, to form the loop where the leather strap goes through.

.... Anyway, the forrest... Its sunny, so I can see shafts of sunlight coming through little clearings in the trees.
Something startles us!! We all gallop through the forrest. After a while, the trees start to thin out, and we exit the forrest, and come out into open grass land, we slow down to a trot as we're out in the open.

The grass is tall (about 2-3 foot deep), and is a carpet of green as far as the eye can see.. The grass sways gently in the breeze.
