Lately I've been having a lot of confusing dreams. They usually go like this: The dream starts and I find myself somewhere, often in my bed. Eventually I realize something's off and do a reality check. Seconds after I realize it's a dream, the dream puts me back in my bed and wakes me up - into a new dream. This cycle tends to go on 6 or more times, to the point where when I eventually wake up, I'm confused as hell and it takes me a minute to make sure I'm not still dreaming.

Key:
Lucid Dream
Waken Up
Non-lucid Dream

I did a WBTB and partly a MILD for this. I also went to sleep upstate in an RV.

I woke up in my bed at home. I did a reality check by putting my hand up to the window to observe my hands. There wasn't enough light to see, so I tried to do something, and I ended up having my vision zoom in. I saw I was in a dream. Though I never stabilized the dream, and I wasn't very aware, it lasted for a pretty good amount of time. After realizing I was dreaming, I levitated out of bed and tried to fly out the window. For some reason, I couldn't get through. I had to really concentrate to make it through. Even then, I ended up teleporting to some warehouse. I found myself running to get to a portal at the other end of the warehouse. I was also shooting at people with a "hand" gun, and they were dying. :/ When I went through the portal, I got to my backyard on the other side of the window, right in front of the deck. I started petting my dog Ti, who was right next to me. At that point the dream faded, and I woke up in my bed at home again. I thought I was actually awake now, and thus didn't do a reality check. I actually think I went through a few false awakenings like that, before waking up for real.

Dream recall from today's naps.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was in some weird place and there was some spirituality related talk, then weird false awakening with some loud sound in my head and i was very dizzy, almost lucid, but i woke up before i could fully realize.

Dream 2(fragments):

Was playing some platformer that then turned out to be about sonic apparently, but was really weird, some levels were like unfinished and there was 'level skip' function, then later sonic was piloting some kind of mecha.

Dream 3(fragments):

I was playing spiral knights and was in guild hall, there were some problems we were trying to solve and discussions, there was some new function that apparently marked people as 'spy' when they said certain words in chat. Then the guild hall turned into old style guild hall and there are some players that are invisible, then i noticed the weirdness of game and realized that i am dreaming, i tried to chat with someone that was not in the game but then gaining no response i forgot about dreaming and continued with the game.
I went to run some gate clockworks and the rooms were connected rather interestingly, at first i thought i was solo but the invisible players were apparently there and were helping fighting enemies, also stuff was a bit glitchy. Then i found danger room gate and we entered it.

I had a lucid dream! ...sorta.

I was doing what I usually do in my dreams (trying to run away from evil people) when I decided that flying would definitely help me get away from them. Then it clicked. "...I CAN FLY! I'M DREAMING!" so I started floating and then I thought "I'M GOING TO FLY FOR AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE NOW!"

I was still floating, but going higher and higher. I looked ahead and it was sort of a desert and I was looking right between two mountains (desert mountains). I was going to fly around them when I thought "wait, I had things to do" and I remembered my list of goals. Number one there is find my dream guide. So I decided to close my eyes and when I opened them I expected to see someone in front of me (I was actually expecting my dream guide to be myself), but... nothing. I shouted "DREAM GUIDE!!!" a couple times, still nothing. I landed (as I was calling my dream guide, I thought it'd be easier if I were on the ground) and I lost lucidity.

So basically, fail at controlling the dream (and it wasn't vivid at all... in fact, I barely remember the rest of the dream - before or after this moment of lucidity), but I was still lucid! Getting there!!!

[B]Tuesday, August 13th 2013: "Amazing Mirror" (LUCID)
Type: WBTB/WILD[/B]

After a brief WBTB period (around 10 minutes), I begin to slowly enter sleep paralysis. After the vibrations begin I relax as usual and focus on seeing through my eyelids. A few moments later the picture becomes clearer and clearer. After about 5 seconds, my bedroom becomes extremely vivid, and I just move my dream body and sit up. Excited that I entered a dream, I take a deep breath and get up from my bed. I look down at it, thinking maybe I'll see my body lying there, but no... I just see the bed, the pillow, and the sheets. I analyze the objects in my room and laugh because it's just so vivid. I am also lucid enough to know that I'll soon have to get up for work, and worry that maybe my alarm clock will wake me up soon and ruin my lucid dream. Now I enter my living room. It is day time, actually morning, just as in reality. I see one of my friends lying on the couch, but he doesn't live here at all. I tell him this is not reality, and ask him if he already knew that. He says no, and seems a bit disappointed. I tell him I have some things to do/experiment with, and that I won't disturb him, so he can remain lying on the couch. He laughs and says ok.

In my living room there is a big mirror in the same position just like in real life. Now it dawns on me that I wanted to experiment with mirrors next time I become lucid. Very excitedly I step closer to the mirror and closer. Now I see my reflection... which is... extremely odd, just as always. But this time I am analyzing every detail of it, and it simply amazes me. My reflection is "angry", and "scary". My eyes look very focused, as if I'm ready to attack someone. One eyebrow is raised, which looks funny. In any case, the atmosphere is somewhat eerie, but it's a good feeling nonetheless. Now I move to the left, and the reflection seems to move just a bit differently, perhaps with a 1 second delay, and some minor differences in movement. Then I move to the right, and again, there is a delay and minor differences. Then I get very close to the mirror and analyze my face. One eyebrow is still raised, eyes are still scary, and the face is in "attack-mode." I actually laugh at this point, but my reflection doesn't laugh.

At this point I decide to try what I read somewhere on the internet, and that's pulling the reflection out of the mirror. First, I stick my hand inside the mirror for a second, then pull it out. It looks cool, kind of like pushing your hand into liquid. I move my hand really close, then push it inside the mirror very fast and grab my reflection's hand. I pull it out, and pull, and pull... first up to the wrist, then up to the elbow. He's pulling back very hard, and I'm pulling in my direction. My friend watches the whole thing in amusement. I tell him to help me pull him out of the mirror. Gets up and helps me. However, at this point the arm begins stretching kind of like rubber, and I see that I can't pull him out, instead it's just like a very long arm that is now almost pulled to the end of the room. My friend and I decide to let go of the arm, and it just pulls itself back very fast into the mirror, snapping back kind of like a rubber band.

A false awakening occurs. I am in my bed, but I already know it's a false awakening without doing a reality test. Everything is amazingly vivid again. I laugh and get up, but before I get to do anything... my alarm clock "really" wakes me up.

In a prison (which looked like my front yard in I). Was a child prisoner with some other chick. Some guy comes up and tells me that if I want to leave the place, I must break into neighbour's house. At night, I dress up like their guards and jump onto their terrace, onto the shade bellow. Guards don't recognize me. Somehow I manage to get into their basement. (CANT BE SURE IF THE NEXT PART WAS FROM THIS DREAM OR SOMETHING ELSE). There is some sort of renovation going on. I get irfan khan ( from Life of Pi) and some other guy. They make the pillars but there is some problem with alignment. Irfan fixes it. Then there is a singing competition or something. I can apparently sing very well. Irfan says so can he, but he can't. I calmly explain to him that just because he was good at pillars he doesn't have to be good at singing too.

I'm old, and there is some sort of talk of engagement to some girl I haven't even met -__-' . I'm taking a shower and everything and getting ready. Bholi arrives with his family. They all keep talking about it too. That was the whole dream.

Something about Alex Karev.
Must do more RC, find a better way to remember dreams (add more keywords?)

The dream was a whole lot longer than I can remember but I think I was a combination of teacher of sorts and a private detective or something like thatl The environment was a side of a mountain pretty earthy with most buildings being made from a clay material and the roots of trees showing up where they could. was showing my frined how to do fire spinning but instead of fire on the end of the wicks, there were streamers that would automatically growna d shrink like real fire. This was just how fire worked in the dream. It was intensely beautiful, especially since the dream took part around the twighlight time of day.

Well anyway, ,my brain sometimes equates fire spinning with fire bending because one kid keeps calling me Prince Zuko and because I like to think about it like that. Well anyway, one person came up to me telling me about how Prince Zuko's uncle made a house and lived in the roots of a tree for hundreds of years, and to make it crazy, this was supposedly also where Jesus was from, where he died and left all of his wisdom. Also, this was where all the hindu gods before Jesus had left their powers. When I was being told this, it was just being told to me like it was legend.

After this, I was practicing spinning when 2 people surrounded me and started trying to encompass the immediate area with a long read banner. The top of the banner was slightly above my head and the bottom reached the ground and they were wrapping it around a basketball court sized area. This was my dreams version of fire bending since red paper was fire. It would've burned exactly like fire and also responding to fire bending moves the same.

Before they finished wrapping the area, I ran through a way out and started running haphazardly downhill, using fire bending to deflect shots. Their leader was yelling at me why they were there. They too were looking for the almighty Jesus Hindu tree for it's power. I was running down the hill, skillfully jumping roots and dodging attacks when I awoke.

Fragment: I was supposed to write like a book review essay in a foreign language. I did not know the foreign language. I was supposed to have learned it on my own for college without classes. I had not done this. The book review was due tomorrow. I could not find the book.

Fragment: I was male. In some country where there was a dictatorship. I rescued and befriended a rebel. Went to the mafia asking female chief of security to search the rebel to see if he had a bug on him. At some point I was watching TV and he approached me with a knife but it was a test of whether I trusted him plus he had to remove something from my eye with the knife. Toward the end of the dream there was something about consuming food and accidentally eating something that shouldn't because there was a microchip or something with information on it. There also seemed to be a wedding or other feast at the end.

Watched the Perseids outside last night but Ed is clearly not an astronomy buff...unless he's busy somewhere, working on a new masterpiece, full of CGI, woolly monsters and hot dancing girls..........

Prior to this dream I had a different dream whose plot was kind of unclear and incoherent. What I remember from it was that I walked through a street in an old power-lines-across-the-street sort of western kind of village, while keeping an eye on a shop with a danish LOTTO (lottery) sign hanging outside (http://i.imgur.com/vYhkO90.jpg), but in the dream I thought of it as a LEGO sign for some reason, I think because my head couldn't remember what it was called at the time I had the dream, so it just filled in with the next thing that came to mind.

Next dream, I was in the local Kvickly supermarket, and I had two Lotto tickets. I asked the girl behind the counter, a cute little blonde, if she could redeem them for me. She looked at me in surprise and asked where I got those, those were way old. She didn't even think people had them any more. I didn't actually know where I got them myself, so I lied and said I found them. The guy behind the counter beside her asked, where? While camping, I said without hesitation. They believed it - oh right - and looked at the tickets curiously. I asked them if they could check whether they held a prize. The girl asked me if I could wait an hour. Couldn't you just send me an SMS when you find out, I asked. Of course, she replied, can you give me your phone number? Not being able to remember any phone number of mine at the time, I said, here give me yours and I'll send you a message so you can reply to that and be sure I get the reply. She let me, and asked me if I would like to join her in the lunch room. "Sure."

Been quite unenthusiastic to recall my dreams lately and even think about them, but this dream I'm pretty sure is the one that's gonna make me get back into this again.

I woke up in an unusual bedroom that I have never seen before. I saw some features from my own bedroom here but this one had a lot more features like a fridge and i'm pretty sure there was a kitchen, it was a really nice room. So I went out the door to realize that I had another bedroom(my real room irl) and that I normally slept there and was used to it so I wouldn't come here but I did this time. The next part I remember is being in some park with my friends, and this girl was pretty unhappy and was arguing with someone, I happened to know her and tried to comfort her but she kept telling me to back off. She was angry at me for some reason which I can't remember. Then I remembered that I was on holiday to this place where I was and I was staying here for 9 days, I think it might have been wales.. Anyway I then remember shopping with my same 2 friends, we even had a trolley which was odd. We were talking and I remember me saying to one of my friends how they ruined the opportunity for me to get with this girl(I think he started the argument). We got some bits and went to pay for them, the girl we were talking about was there at the till. She seemed quite angry at me still and replied with aggression, it was something about me only staying here for 9 days and not telling her. I told her that we could still work things out, and she wasn't so angry, she liked the idea. I said that i'm not going for another 9 or something days and that I really wanted to spend them with her, she seemed like twice my age and i'm not sure why I was interested in her.. but dreams eh. She agreed that she would still talk to me and try and work things out, we left, I waved and she waved back with a giant smile on her face, well at least I made her happy again.

Another lucid, i was at a normal dream and BOOM i got lucid. there was 2 DC's there. i started to ask them things, i asked something about how they feel to be...
dahh... still got the problem that i can't remember very well when i wakeup. I think while i'm lucid, the shortmemory is turned on and when i wake up, it's not stored in the longmemory.

But i can remember that they were really smart. they answered thinks that i never could imagine. one answer i remember super well was:
"We are all individuals, but we are a part of your brain"
and i maybe asked something about it? i can remember something about that i asked how it's feel to be a part of my dream.

after this i got false awakenings and got normal dreams


normal dreams:

i was at a party in my summer cottage.. there was pretty many pll there, and i was going to take out my cross. suddenly did some persons arrive. it was some black peoples and a girl. (that wasn't black) (and oh, nothing racist about the black, but idk how to else explain it
when i thinking back, i get the feeling that she was looking at me with a smile, and when i first saw her in the dream i got the feeling that i have met her before?
she was like something special idk what.

I was going to drive cross with my friend, but he didn't come over, he just drove away xD
the last thing i remember before wakeup was that mom tried to do something with the other cross ..

The thing we can think about is this guy telling me: We are all individuals, but we are a part of your brain"
and to really understand what he meant with that. I thing that i asked something about "if they controll their self" or something similar. and this was the answer.
Let me know what you thing about it below

1. Being chased by someone I know. There's always flowers involved.
2. Clare Danes wrapped up in box, with face showing so she can take meds.
3. Sci fi movie on TV, at the same time, out the hotel window, a sci fi live action parade/show, same characters. Also, met my deceased brother briefly.

I should've posted this about five days ago, cause now I forgot most of it. :/

There was more prior to these events, but I forgot them. :/ But I'm currently getting in the getaway vehicle after a a Shootout. My friends Joey and Justin are loading into the car, Joey getting behind the wheel. I jump in the car(I forget which seat) and Joey drives away. I remember all of us are wearing Kevlar vests and weapons strapped to us. Joey starts the car and begins to drive away in a hurry. As we go up a hill Joey makes a sharp turn. Now for some reason physics says I'll do whatever the fuck I want, and sends us backwards over the side of the hill. I notice another cliff about two hundred meters away as we fall. I look down and see the car plummeting to the war hundreds of meters down. We all scream, when I suddenly become lucid! I now open my door and jump out of the car.
"Guys! Just fly!" I shout to Joey and Justin. I now realize how dumb I'm being, and fly down to the falling car. The two jump out as the car hits the water and they submerge. I dive deep down and chase after them. I grab both of them and fly them up to the cliff I noticed earlier. i don't remember anything much afterwards.

Morning, 13th August, 2013

Dream 1:

Harry Potter and Loki are stuck in separate green, grimy cells. They both happen to have computers and MSN each other out of boredom.

Dream 2:

I am in the middle of a 'lucid dream' (dream inside a dream) when suddenly the dreamscape becomes hazy and I wake up to hear noises in the house. I jump out of bed and hide from the view of my bedroom door. Two men in suits come barging in, shining torches around instead of using the lights.

They look around my room and I keep quiet, then they suddenly find me and grab me harshly on my forearm - saying something about me being a lucid dreamer and that I have to go away for experiments - and take me away.

We go outside to their hover car and they tie me up with a rope that connects to the car. They fly off with me hanging by the rope. I see a blue portal open up in front of the car and I'm very curious. We go inside and I see a shiny futuristic city with lots of shiny silver. They park the hover car and ... (I forgot what happened between this.)

I am in the city's supermarket being escorted by one of my captors, and because I am a 'lucid dreamer', a specimen to them, they feel the need to sanitize the floor I just walked on - a janitor does this with a mop, and he's following me around. I decide to have some fun with this and step on the floor so much times in front of the janitor just to see his shocked and exasperated expression. (It was actually pretty funny.)

And then the dream ended.
