Lucid / Non-lucid

I'm definitely dreaming every day, resolved to record whatever I remember of today / past few days.

[OLD] Non-Lucid ~ 5:50 A.M.
Cat Father

Standing at the back door, which is closed. I'm talking to the father of a kitten I'm currently 'raising'. He is outside the house. The light seems to be fading. The cat looks somewhat like Captain Claw does in cut-scenes. He wants to check on his ward or something. I feel that cannot be done. For some reason I remember being really scared of the him, I also vaguely recollect that I was using English to communicate I walk outside and begin to explain...

Suddenly, the ground shakes. I was scared I would be attacked(by the cat or something else), nothing of that sort happens. He frantically asks me, "Where is (the kitten)...?". We begin to mourn the kit. We search by digging up the soil. Suddenly, a shape emerges from beneath the mud. I lose it in the dim light, but then find the kitten with his father. The dream fades.

Dream 2
Whales and deja vu

I remember seeing the result of an election where *something* became a President. Scene shift. There is an yellow ball bouncing along the ground, before it is attacked by a fast moving something-else. I catch the ball. Suddenly, I get the image of a whale. I'm looking into a pool filled with what seem to be remoras. I drop the ball into the pool. The fish dart away but return to attack the ball, bloodying the water.

The steel blue scene shifting to rusty red, really vivid and awesome. Also, there were light reflections sort of like a swimming pool. I could visually identify each blood particle.

(They could have been...) piranhas! Then, an epiphany. The whale is evil. The whale is no more. The previous president comes to power again. And the dream will loop...

... atleast, it would have. If I hadn't thought, "Oh! Truman Story!"

[OLD] Dream 3
Beta functions

The math professor(who teaches me IRL) is explaining a new concept to us. I look at the board, but my dream self cannot understand what this means. Dream fades.

A few days later, I recalled this dream while I was in math class. As a result, I knew what my prof was gonna write before he finished! (Had no previous knowledge of subject).

Today I had sort of of a lucid dream. Or was it a dream about a lucid dream?

Anyways,
i suddenly woke up inside the dream and everything the surroundings etc became very vivid.

I jumped from the balcony and flew around a little bit.

I tried stabilisation techniques like saying "100% lucidity" (said it in german: "100% Klarheit") or rubbing my hands together.

The sort of lucid dream lasted a felt 10 minutes.

It was quite fun.

Waking Thoughts/Dream/Lucid

I am finally getting my sleep schedule back to where I want it. Hopefully I can keep it this way. Had a fairly successful night of recall and focused on two mantras while falling asleep. Those are "I wake up after every dream." And "I remember my dreams." I have read that avoiding the word 'will' in mantras are more effective.

I have recalled two dreams:
The first one was a bit foggy. I was at work again helping get rid of a huge cardboard display that was left in the rain overnight. I remember it being quite a drudgery.
The second dream I was in my house watching TV. For some reason a cartoon I watched as a child was on. It was an episode of Ed Edd n' Eddy that seemed to be mostly the main characters looking back on their past. I recall it was quite entertaining. Later the cartoon changed a bit and turned into a mixture of DBZ and other shows I used to watch.

Despite my totally crappy dream recall, I've managed to remeber two dreams I had. Yay!

In the first dream I was Spider-Man, or was playing a Spider-Man game (doesn't matter really).

So, I swung around the town to get to my objective, which was apparently, an Oscorp building. So, I crashed a glass panel and jumped through it to enter the building. What happened from there is hard to recall, but I think I fought seveal rows of enemies. Then Hulk came from nowhere and I wanted to leave, so I jumped back through the glass I'd broken before.

Yep, pretty dumb, I know.

And I've also had a dream where I was playing a game on my ipad... And that's it...


Oh well, at least I did recall something

This dream perspective was me and a friend of mine, sitting in the dark on a laptop, and I was watching him play minecraft. About when he started playing, the perspective changed to the players screen being all I could see hear or feel. He was with other players and they were on an expedition to find diamond (pretty average for minecraft actually). He went underground and eventually lost his group. When he got plenty of iron, he started digging faster and faster and then...

Creepers.....


*picture sums it up*

He started finding creepers everywhere and they weren't hard to fight off at first, but they got to be in groups of two or three at a time. Digging became difficult and soon they're everywhere and we could only run. We ran for a good while, but not back the way we came, but down further into the mine.

We hit a room that had some sort of vessel in it and creeper print on the outside of it and two diamond were inside! Then, a super creeper came out of this vessel and he was dark bluish colored and had bright green eyes! We found two diamond in the room before the creepers came in. He ran back the way we came, dodging creepers left nad right, but when he reached a dead end, there would be a dark brown block that would teleport him to a higher section of the mine and closer to the start. He grabbed the last one and we teleported out.

We weren't exactly back with the expedition as we planned, but instead the start of the mine was flooded! We swam to the base (a floating ship) and told the crew of the vessel that contained two diamond. They excitedly stored them in a vault. We found out we could craft movies and dvd discs out of iron on minecraft next, and we started making minecraft videos on minecraft with the craftable dvds and playing them on the minecraft ship's dvd player (still in minecraft game). The rest of the dream was us making videos of minecraft, on minecraft.

May not look like it, but this dream was pretty intense! Creepers everywhere O_O

I was in a really upscale mall. I went down the stairs by holding the handle and sliding down. I passed by a rectangular jacuzzi right next to the stairs. --- I was lost while driving. I was driving a rusty red car but I parked and got out to walk around. I came back really quickly but the car was in a car wash machine. I went around, trying to find the other side of the car wash. All I see is just walls. I found a girl who works there and I asked her if I could get my car. She pointed to a really big bin so I opened it to find the car in there with a lot of steam. She told me that it's drying and to come back later. We talked for a while. I asked if she know where the city of SM is, and she raised her arm and pointed behind me. I turned around and tried to remember the way. I saw a really decorative pastry shop and thought about visiting it before going. People started going/disappearing so I thought it was getting late. --- I was walking in the hallway of a store. One side was the washer/dryers and the other with people sitting in a row. I moved forward seeing that I'm the only female there. I was looking for a pair of my jeans but instead found a stack of all my jeans. I looked around and saw my family's clothing. I heard my mom's voice, asking "Is she here?" and when I turned toward the voice, my dad replied "She's right there." Our clothes were on top of machines that labeled "C".

12AM-8AM

*I haven't been typing my dreams online lately but I have written them down. So I am about to go on a typing spree to catch up on posting them.*

It started with me in a theater and a new batman movie was coming out. We got the tickets and went into the theater and after the movie started I don't remember what happened but it transitioned to me in the bat-cave as batman.

I rush to a scene and scale a huge skyscraper, and there were cops at the top. Cat women I noticed, was also climbing the building and when I got to the top I fought some bad guys and then the cops started coming for me. They pointed their guns at me and I jumped behind an air-conditioning unit and searched around the roof for an exit. I jumped off the ac unit, ran toward cover, and jumped off the roof.

I don't quite remember the transition to the bat cave, but when I got there, I undressed from the Bat-suit and I was in my underwear! I thought I would have some pants on under this suit. As I walked toward my room to get some clothes, I heard cat woman walk into the cave. I hurried back to get dressed and then walked back out in a suit, looking like Bruce Wayne. The next thing we did, was go invade the villains base. We had to invade a base in an extremely tall tree with a dome-like building near the top of it. We fought some bad guys, saved the world, and then said some corny one-liners before the scene changed to me in the theater watching the ending credits!

Another scene of my head movie that night involved me fighting some 7' tall mafia dude for sport. I won and he complimented me over my skill and strength.

Pretty fun dream.

Non-dream Dream

Dream 1:

It is my turn to present at our departments large meeting. I am going to present a mixture of old data and new data that my boss threw together. (Once again) I didn't even look at the slides before presenting. I am doing a horrible job presenting the material. People start leaving, talking and roaming around then the meeting ends. I am off the hook for good - apparently this is the last meeting.

Dream 2:

J - the bartender at the bowling alley - is a gasoline salesperson. I am explaining some difficult math to her about evaporation rates of the gasoline.

Dream 3:

I am on a guided kayaking tour on a river with my wife. I am being an idiot - going too fast and being reckless. I start fucking with a bear and then it realizes that I have food in my backpack. It fake charges me about five times. It is very smart and I think it is talking to me. I run and hide in a bathroom and then a gift shop. The bear finds me. I realize that it is not food in my pack that the bear wants, but perhaps something I have done to the locals pissed him off. There are now two bears chasing me. I trick them somehow and get a head start back to my car. I would have made it easily but someone was with me and slowed me down. The bear catches me.

Dream 4:

I am in my house but there is no furniture. It looks just as it did when we first bought it and put the fresh carpet in. My cats are there. The black one is HUGE and V is whiter than usual. They are both purring like crazy.

Had a dream i was back at school fighting people in a fight club, this then ended after seeing some shady people and now i was at uni again, met an old friend there and the uni and country was attacked by another countrys army. A politian came up to me dying and gave me and the friend a keycard that needs to be kept safe, i run out of there.

Cut to 5 years later, chilling in a cafe in venice which looked alot like my uni, see the friend again, tells me people are after the keycard and shes seen them here, i go to the safety deposit box in the bank and im woken up...

The dream setting starts on a cliff side, the cliff is easily accessible until you get about 10 yards from the top, and my male friend and I are climbing this mountain. We are currently about 20-25 yards from the top and we are moving up towards the top slowly and methodically. We each take a different route to get to the top and we meet in the middle, however my route seemed to lead to the quickest way up and in real life I would be the one leading the group on a trip like this. However once we reach the 10 yards to get up at the end, we encounter an obstacle, the cliff ahead of us too tall and steep for us to climb up and its the only way up. I have a small pickaxe with me, one used for mountain climbing and since we are having trouble getting up this part we try to think of a way to get both of us up safely. Quickly enough I see that the cliff seems to be burnt in some manner, however it has more of the qualities of some what seems to be an old lava flow. Its just the right consistency for me to whack some holes for us to climb up. So I start beating on it with my pickaxe making a large indent in this cliff side so I could pull myself up. I struggled up as I got up but was greeted with a nice view of a highway. I thought this seems out of place for sure and I remember to help my friend up. When he gets up there he says something about "Kristoff Krane", the artist I listened to before sleeping. This made me partially lucid for a moment because of the randomness of it but it also inspired me. I was gonna freestyle. Kristoff Krane does freestyle rapping and I am a fan of anyones freestyle but I especially like him. I dont remember what I said in this freestyle but I felt like it was bad. As I finished though, I was feeling very self aware and being in the woods makes me feel as if im hunting. So I start looking around more and I see a white building and a fence. I realize and say aloud "Private Property, we gotta go." I quickly see two fences and a clear path down one side of the mountain, and we start charging down a small hillside thinking to get on the highway somehow. Well as we get down further I see that this building is built into the mountain and its wide open for some reason and we are looking into it from our position in between the two fences. My former male partner now turns into an unknown female whom I seem to be only recently acquainted with, however we share a past experience that makes me seem to be the one who is helping her. My female partner is ahead of me and without noticing has got caught in some kind of wire trap that has her feet, she is looking at the highway through the fence, when I realize I am caught in one too. I get a burst of adrenaline as I see security personnel from the building coming our way and I look at the small wires holding me. The trap is attached to the fence on the side of the building and I move the wire trap along the fence somehow unhook the trap. I am free and my partner see this. She says "GO NOW, leave me here, Ill be fine" very seriously and I know this is my only chance. For some reason I was gonna go into the building, I hadn't planned this but I seemed to just know to go there, as if my partner had told me to do so. I easily sneak past the guards because they are focused on getting the girl, and I very simply walk past people in the building, which I now am seeing is some kind of laboratory. I walk directly over to a corner of the lab that has some kind of giant machine. I quickly jumped into a part of this machine which somehow was like in the movie Tron. I was talking about this movie earlier in the day with a friend. I was aware of me traveling through into a different world of some kind and I was turned into a mechanical ball then pushed by some kind of large robot and propelled down a tunnel. I traveled down this tunnel for what seemed to be a large amount of time, but that only made me tired of traveling and since I was a ball I had no way to propel myself, hence the robot pushing me in the beginning. The tunnel seemed to be taking me somewhere but as I went on I realized gravity was pulling down on me and the tunnel up ahead was going upwards. I awoke when I didnt have enough momentum to travel further up the tunnel.

At first all I can remember is the sound of a television show, or something like it, and I was irritated because the voices, of different characters, were apparently done by two of the same people, both with annoying, high-pitched and screechy voices, or, at least, that was how I thought of it then.

Then, I was signing up for a gym and was looking at the different options and programmes they were offering. They had a chart full of icons and a description next to them, telling customers that they offered tailored routines for various sports and specialities. I didn't like the idea of specialising so much and having to pay for it, but decided to choose swimming, as it seemed right. However, it turns out that this wasn't any normal gym, as it was actually a training centre that taught skills and habits, though I'm pretty sure there was a physical aspect to it, somehow. In order to make the challenges harder, you would swap your mind into one of the bodies they provided. For each speciality, they offered numerous different arenas that had difficulty levels from beginner to advanced members. I decided to try one out. I'm not sure how the transfer happened, but it seemed easy and natural.

The swimming challenge area that I had chosen looked much like a typical, large swimming pool, except that there was nobody about. I looked at the body that I had been given. It was a creature about four feet tall with pink skin and a thin elephant-like trunk, and it looked pretty ugly. I might have come face-to-face with it in my real body at some point. I started thinking about the implications of body-swapping, since to have your mind transferred into a different body meant that the information was being lost from the old body, and that was possibly a form of death. I was calmed by the fact that it didn't feel that way, but I did recall an odd sensation of an ending coming when the transfer happened. Later, I decided to have a look at one of their hardest swimming areas. It was a pond surrounded by mud, the bottom filled with broken glass and detritus, the water, which was extremely cold, not really looking like water but something unidentifiably different, and all manner of other hazards around. The body that you were swapped into was weirder than the last one, and it was a transparent, featureless amber-tinted ovoid, which had no apparent means of propulsion but was able to swim around anyway.

This was the second time I swapped bodies in a dream, at least as I recall.

The first dream I had was of very little importance. I don't remember much of it, literally the only piece of it I can recall was Mulder from the X-files was gay. It didn't really make sense.

The second dream that was actually memorable started out with me and my sister Rose at the park. I've been chanting a reminder in my head the past few days to attempt one of the DreamViews monthly challenges where you shrink your perspective down to the size of a tiny bug and explore the world. I finally remembered to do that in this dream, but it didn't last as long as I would hope. So, back to the plot.
Rose and I were walking around with my niece in a stroller, like we have actually done in the past- nothing seemed out of place. I actually visit this park frequently in real life, it's down the street from my house. We walked along the pathway going through the grass and saw a small commotion over by the Park&Recreation office building, that's also next to the main playground. We made our way over to the side of the building and saw what everyone was buzzing about. There was a strange red-orange orb of energy hovering next to the sidewalk near the street. The orb had a dark ominous larger field of energy surrounding it, but you could tell the it the dark energy was radiating out of the smaller red one. I began to analyze my setting, trying to figure out what that could possibly be. It felt dark, and foreboding. I started to become lucid just then, I'm not sure if it was out of luck or if my critical thinking during the day is just paying off.
I decided then that I wanted to get rid of that energy in the park. I attempted to create a orb of white and good energy to blend with the red one and nullify it but my white energy didn't seem to last very long. This is the part where it gets interesting. I decided to take an alternate route. I wanted to harness whatever this orb was, it obviously was of great importance in my head. But I also was reminded of my goal of shrinking, so I decided that if I DID get to explore the world of a bug or bacteria, it would be a well precaution to absorb the energy of that orb before going under, incase of any potential difficulties. I calmed my mind and focused on the perspective of my size. I wanted to make focus on both making myself smaller and the things around me larger. I focused my intent and closed my eyes for a technique that I usually use to summon things in front of my vision, but instead- I opened them to be standing next a forest of grass!
I made my way just through a few blades and onto the side walk. The building next to me was much, much larger than it had been before and the projectile of my vision made the dark orb look like a red sun. This new light made the orb seem even more ominous, and what happened next- I guess I should have left undone. I began to expand the orb in my mind before I attempted to absorb it. I made it grow in size about twice as large as it had been but then, it ripped appart my dream. I guess it turned into some sort of black whole, the world went dark and I saw shapes of space and matter flying into it's spot until everything went dark and the dream ended. I woke up later, excited about the incredible visuals of the explosion but... it was unfortunet that I didn't get to roam around as a tiny me a bit longer.

Finally decided to start writing down dreams on this site. I've just recently decided to attempt lucid dreaming again (I've got pages of dreams from 2011, starting again)

It's my Birthday, and a troop of little kids are leading me to a room. it seems to be my old room, with small tables on the back right corner. The tables are littered with random junk, and two giant presents: one plain box, and a giant cup or something. The kids keep telling me to open them, but I'm refusing to do so. Eventually, I give in and open the cup. There's nothing in it, thanks a lot. I turn over to the second one and open it. Inside is a yellow box, and in that are Lego toys.
"Aww Mom, I don't like these anymore!"
One of them happens to be a knock-off toy, which used to be a part of recurring dreams a long time ago. etc etc

Next, I'm in a music class for trombones (I play the trumpet btw, never played the trombone.) We all walk into a room and line up at the wall. I hold up my trombone and see what it feels like holding it up. The slide is a little sticky though. I also worry that the back of the instrument will hit the wall seeing that we're against it, but it doesn't. Eventually, the music teacher tells me to hold my trombone the right way, and I look over to my classmates. The others are standing at attention with their trombones folded up (?). I then fold up my trombone as well and follow suit.

Next, I'm playing some game where a bunch of people have to fight one boss. It starts out as all of us in a cave trying to fight this guy, and I keep dying since I always go up close to him. Eventually it turns out I'm playing TF2, and if you know the game, we're playing the Saxton Hale mod I'm assuming. The map has a tower in the center with a spiral ramp going to the top and the boss always seems to be right there. Buildings surround the tower, completing the map. In the game, it seems that players can call in help, such as crit rockets coming in from the buildings directly at the tower.

I start out as Scout, but when I look down at the buildings I see a whole clump of medics all jumping around. I realize that they're all setting up a plan to take down the boss by gathering lots of ubercharges. I then join them - switching to a medic, replacing my Vintage Kritzkrieg to a Quick - Fix (weapons).
Eventually, we all swarm up the ramp to the top of the tower where the boss is waiting, and we all start healing ancd ubercharging this single Huntsman Sniper who is standing right beside the boss with his bow drawn. Before I know it we are all jumping around down the ramp and celebrating, I'm assuming we won the fight.

Weird how I dream about old toys and games I haven't played in a while.
By the way, I remembered the trombone dream while taking a shit and thinking about instruments.

This is a really vague fragment because I was tired from a little indigestion episode last night and didn't recall when I woke up. I only recalled while I was on my laptop when I realized I didn't recall my dream. It was lucky that I am quite practiced when it comes to recall salvaging so I caught the essence of it.

It is something about me playing a game in my school dormitory. It is a fantasy game, and one of my quests are to stab Xerxes.

Thoughts
Lucid
Non lucid

I was so hung over this morning I went back to bed after being up for 3 hrs. I decided to attempt WILD. I didn't really care if I got any sleep I just wanted to lay down. I started on my left side. I watched a lot of HI. I have been getting too excited in SP that I wake up. Some people don't have the SP and I have notice before that sometimes I just transition with the HI. Well that doesn't work well for me most of the time but I was trying to tell myself that I could do that and not get excited. So I really focused on the visuals more than the physical sensations.

I picked "get lucid" as my mantra and focused on HI. I hit SP and got way excited I started a lot of inner dialogue. "Oh yes this is it here we go ya omg ah shit" I woke up. I then I got up to pee and went back to bed on my right side and started the WILD again. I basically dropped the mantra and just meditated and watched HI until SP kicked in.

This time I stayed relaxed. Instead of transitioning out of my bed like usual I just visualized but didn't have much clarity of thought. It was more like strong HI. It was something like me looking at a video game and I was trying to move crustations that looked like little grey balls in the water with my mind. I wanted to shrink them but couldn't. I guess I had TOTM on my mind

Then that visual went away and I had a FA. I was so disappointed with my LD that I just rolled over from my left to my right side. I thought about the lucid dream and thought "Well that one sucked" (I didn't catch this until I actually woke up but I wasn't on my left when I started the WILD. I was on my right the whole time!)

So being in the dream still but not knowing it I noticed I still had residual SP vibrations. I thought it was really odd that it came back so fast. I checked by rolling my eyes to the back of my head (Sometimes that makes the vibrations more intense.) I was glad I was in SP and I just relaxed but I think I fell non lucid after that. I don't really remember much after that. There's just a fragment about seeing my dad.

The last time I actually WILD I had a lot of confusion but I my awareness we a lot better. If I wan't hung over I probably would have had it. Oh well, at least I was able to get lucid. I was starting to think that I was in a bit of a dry spell. Plus my hangover is gone! Now that I have more confidence tonight should be a good one as long I don't drink
