NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Good morning! Had an interesting dream last night, it's been a while since I had a survival dream. 22.30: Sleep 05.30: Camping I'm in my mom's neighbourhood. I walk through the woods behind her house when a car appears on the road on my right. I walk slowly, but a part of me tells me to run. I pick up the pace and head behind some bushes. The car keeps up with me but as soon as I break eye contact I get down on all four and start to run like an animal. I run up a steep hill on a game trail, trying to get away from the weird car. After a few minutes of running around I end up down by the road, only further down. A car stops next to me and I recognise it as my mom and dad's car. They start talking to me, and wants me to go with them. I follow them for a while but I soon stop. "I'm going out camping for a few days. I'm not going to bring anything" I tell them. This is apparently what they didn't want me to do. "It's dangerous!" my mom says. "But this is what I want to do! That's also the reason I want to do it. To make my own shelter. Soon it will be dark and cold" I say. 'Perhaps I should bring a blanket...' "I might bring that blue blanket just in case I say and grab one from the car. I'm really looking forward to the trip. To be one with mother nature and just live off of what she has to offer for a few days. 05.30: Wake up Amount of sleep: 7 hours Supplements: None That's it! Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!
I downloaded an app on my phone that was supposed to help with meditation. Well it did clear my mind and all that good stuff. But I still haven't gotten any success. WILD attempt #3 Awake: I lie down in bed, shades drawn. It's dark, quite, comfortably warm, ideal conditions. I turn on the app, it's playing ocean sounds. I lie still, within minutes my legs are numb (This so far is always the first thing to happen). This is followed by my right arm, and I never remember when my left arm goes numb. I start seeing the green lights again, they move like a wax in a lava lamp. They go away quickly. I lie still for awhile and eventually feel a sensation at my feet. It feels like a mix of heat, water, and my feet dissolving. It doesn't spread any further. I try to envision myself sinking into my bed. No dice. I keep myself semi-focused on the ocean sounds throughout it all, not a thought at all except for a song I like playing itself in the back of my head. The green lights come back again, it makes only one round this time and fades away. I'm back to numb feet and only a semi-numb right hand. At thirty minutes in, I give up. I do a reality check. Alas, still awake.

I'm not sure why, but this one stuck with me very hard. It was an extremely emotional dream compared to most. Seal Chasing Non-Lucid Very Memorable Non-dream Non-Lucid Lucid The scene starts off with me and my pet seal walking down the street, looking for somewhere for her to play. We come across a gym/olympic training center for swimmers. We go inside, and see no one, so we make our way down the main hall, past an empty reception desk towards a room with large wooden doors. On our left, there is a large trophy case with glass shelves. We cautiously open the door. NO one is inside, so we make our way in. The room is extremely large, in the center is a pool, which has a layer of ice over it. We decide to hop onto the ice and play around for a while. After several minutes of playing on the ice, the seal finds a small hole, and jumps on it, widening the hole, and allowing her to slip beneath the surface. I rush over to the hole and peer down inside. The seal is playing in the water, swimming around. I decide that the swimming will be good for her, so I slide around on the ice for a while longer. After a few more minutes, I return to the hole and look for my seal, who is nowhere to be seen. I search around further for the seal and see, at the bottom of the pool, a hole and a very large tube/pipe leading further down. I head out of the room and search for a way down. Jump. I'm downstairs now, searching for the seal. I run down the hall, peeking into the rooms on each side. Each room is very long, several hundred yards. They're all filled with water slides, pools, diving boards. Some of the larger slides stretch to the ceiling and large pipes like the one I saw on the surface end just above them as if to go directly from the pool above down to these slides. I continue running, and see more and more of the extremely large rooms on the left and the right. Finally, I reach the end of the hall, and turn back to go into some of the rooms. Jump. Now I'm being chased by large men wearing suites and sunglasses (Secret Service types) I grab anything I can find to use as a weapon. Unfortunately, for the most part, I can only find pens and pencils. I find a maintenance bay, and grab some screwdrivers. As I leave the bay and continue down the hallway, one of them starts running the opposite way down the hall towards me. I pull out my improvised weapons, and begin to chuck pencils and pens at him like throwing spikes. I throw knives in RL, so I'm not surprised to find frequent allusions to knife throwing in my dreams. I stick a couple of pens in his chest and torso, but nothing deep enough to be more than a nuisance. Then I throw a screwdriver, and stick him deep in the collar/shoulder, and he goes down. I continue running and come to a rolling tool cart. I refill by picking up a screwdriver and another pen. I'm back upstairs now, and I am entering the room we skated in again. Inside are two guards, and behind them is something shining with bright yellow light. I throw my screw driver at the further guard, and stab the closer with my pen. I run over to the shining light, and it is a dear on a pedestal. There are laurel wreaths to each side of the deer. The whole setup looks like a grand shrine. I shouted 'Chani!' There you Are! And the dream faded. At some point the seal became a deer. The name I called it is that of a character in the Dune series by Frank Herbert. I don't know why this was so important. I had a lot of emotion invested into the search for the seal. The whole experience stuck in my mind.
16.01.2012 NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Dream 1: I'm outside and I see this DC pull off this crazy stunt where he shoots an arrow at some tall plank, and it rebounds off of it and hits another plank and finally hits the target. I can't remember what the target looked like, but I was surprised on the accuracy. Dream 2: I'm outside, most likely from my University, I see this girl (let's call her "Syd." I had her for Chemistry lecture class and Chemistry lab as well during my first semester in college). She was standing there with her boyfriend, and we were waiting for buses to arrive. Apparently one was delayed, so I went to another bus that looked out of place from the rest. I go in without asking the driver if this is the substitute for the delayed bus, and then Syd goes in with me and sits near the front I believe. Her boyfriend gets on another bus I think.
I'm in a line to get lunch in the cafeteria. suddenly I notice that Katsuno visited my school; he is behind me in the line. Katsuno himself gets a hot lunch, but in my line all the foods are out so I waited more longer and then I finally get salad instead of sandwich I wanted... Katsuno and I walked thru the hall way to go to my art class. (the atmosphere in art class was same as IRL) Katsuno sits back at the black table and I asked my teacher that whether I can draw or paint still life. I pick a white paper from the cabinet to draw a vase... Foggy recall here. When the school bell rings Katsuno and I go outside walking on the path that leads to my home. He rides a pink bicycle and I push the back of it... someone is following us.
All I remember is finding myself at that point where a dream is fading and, even though you know you're about to wake up, you can't stay in the dream. I stayed in this state for several seconds and figured I would try a DEILD. When I woke up I layed completely still, and imagined a simple dream enviornment. After what felt like 30min I figured it wasn't going to work and just got up. The clock said 10:01, and just to be sure I turned away and looked back at it. Still 10:01. It makes sense that the DEILD didn't work, I had already gotten 10 hours of sleep so I likely wouldn't fall asleep very easily There was one other dream that I knew I had, but I can't remember it right now. For some reason I didn't write any of these down right away Will edit if it comes to me.
Ok so my dream last night was pretty much all over the place, and I'm sure the following structure is artificial due to my mind's desire to make the story more followable, but you get the picture this way at least. --- 15/1/12 As far as I can remember, the dream starts with my family having just come into some money to take us out of our life-long debt (which we do not have IRL), of which my dad wastes on something extravagant [in some sort of Family Guy manner]. Angry with him, we all get into a rusty old car and set off. Our journey takes us to a rollercoaster-shaped path - throwing us up into the air over every hill. The car disappears without us noticing, and I realise the small cart I'm sitting on (now detached from the rest of my family) is rather unstable! I put all my effort into keeping it stable, but I'm more concerned about my more less-well-balanced family, particularly at the speeds we're all going. We all make it safely to a platform in the water (apart from my mum, who had to swim the last bit) which features a set of bungee ropes and two body straps. In my mind I know I've done this before, and that it catapults you across the body of water to another rollercoaster, yet there if you don't strap yourself in fast enough, you risk serious injury. I barely save my sister as she slowly attempts to go first. The ropes snap off violently into the distance and we wait for the next set to arrive. The rollercoasters then appear to be a video game, and we're all back in my front room back home, with the addition of my cousins and aunt. I get a brief glimpse that this is an Adventure Time video game, seeing Finn and Jake, while also finding out the aim is to deliver an extremely sugary cake to a group of rappers (given to me by P Diddy himself - I don't even like his music). My sister and spoilt cousin try the game but do not even reach the rollercoaster level, so I offer to try. My aunt gets stressed and says my cousin has another go (rather unfairly, yet I go along with it as the elder) before she breaks down into tears, claiming she doesn't want another go! A tense family feud ensues, and I unfortunately never get the chance to deliver the cake to those disappointed rappers

dream lucid i went fishing with my brother, by an old stream that we use to go when we were kids. on the way back we passed a condemned house that was not there when we started. some guys with machine guns chased us. we lost them back up the same trail that we had initially came in but when we stopped it was all different. there was a huge city with a lot of people walking around i knew something was wrong i told my brother " this was not here before; this must be a dream." he did not believe me and a woman was walking by with a little black dog and i tried to change the color of the dog from black to white. the dog ended up somewhere in between, a zebra strip. I told him " if this wasn't a dream how was i able to do that".
I was in a tub taking a bath. My sister was in the bathroom sitting on the toilet. She was talking to me about something when I watched her set her phone next to me on the tub rail. I interrupted her and told her she should move it because I'm no good with stuff like that near the water. She then swept the phone on the floor with an attitude that I didn't understand. I woke up.
I was across the street from my house in the neighborhood where Chris lives. However, the houses were far from normal. Most of them were one story homes with two windows in the front as well as a door. They each had a small yard split by the driveway coming down the middle. I was at Yusuf's house, it was beige in color. The one to the left was blue, and the one to the right was red. I began driving down the street on my dirtbike after dropping off something at Yusuf's home. The street was connected the the main street. I crossed the road and continued to my home. When I arrived, I noticed a fat man with a round head and grey hair turn around. He had on a blue sweater. He then walked away on the sidewalk to the left. I went up to my right garage door and was afraid when I forgot the combo. For some reason, I decided I would try my phone's voicemail entry code. I typed in 0117 and it worked. I drove past the BMW and parked next to it. When I approached the door, I noticed that we had our old brass door handle instead of our silver numeric keypad door handle. I closed the left garage door and I looked for my keys in my pocket. When I looked back to see if it was closed, it was closed however the other door was opened. I tried to close that one too and watched it go down. At the very end, I saw a man's hand go under the door to reopen it. I began to get a little scared. Once again, the other garage door was open. I tried once more to close it when the man's foot stopped it from closing. I then awoke.
After having been waking up at 3:45am for about a week, I am back on the afternoon shift at work and am sleeping in. As a consequence, I am having a lot of dreams. Now I have to try and recall them, but they are kind of weird. Mirror (Lucid) I am in a restroom. Finally, my habit of doing a RC every time I enter a restroom in waking life carries over to my dreams, and I do a nose pinch. I can still breathe. I double check by looking at my reflection in the mirror, which looks odd (a bit like a charachter I created for myself on Wii). I'm dreaming. I climb onto the sink, repeating to myself "am I dreaming?" or "is this a dream?" to keep the question in my mind. The dream doesn't seem as unstable as others in the past, but it isn't very vivid. I think about flying, but a strange thing happens. I have been reading advice to lucid dreamers about how to fly in lucid dreams. It seems that others have a problem with this. Until now, I never thought about it but just did it when I wanted to. But now a doubt was created in my mind about whether or not it was easy to fly. Overanalysis seemed to interfere with me, and I had difficulty in flying. Part of the problem was likely due to the ceiling though, because I had a hard time getting through. Anyway, I wake up somewhere along the way. Caves, chasing, anxiety stuff I am driving somewhere down a dark winding road. At one point, someone jumped out in front of me and I killed him. But I kept on going because since I wasn't responsible never having seen him coming. Later I go back to the area for some reason. It may have been to buy a Christmas tree, but I am kind of fuzzy on what was going on here. There was a whole part of this dream that had significance that I can't remember. Anyway, we end up going into a huge building/cave thing. In this building there is a killer or monster or something, and much shooting and running. My brother (?) and I are trying to escape. I wish I could remember more, because this journal is not doing the dream justice. These things are just vague impressions that might not be the actual dream plot. Superman (fragment) I am in front of a mirror again. I put on some glasses that I find, and I like how I look with them on. I look again and I seem to look a lot like Christopher Reeves as Superman (or rather as Clark Kent). My face is stretched though, and I find that I can distort it with my fingers.
My whole family was gathered at my dads house for a party. We were mostly in the living room. My little brother thought it would be funny to tell the entire family that I liked My Little Pony. Instead of denying it, I tried to explain why. I told them that the characters were interesting, the conflicts are often humorous and sometimes serious, and that the lessons at the end were good. They didn't buy it of course, so I had to endure strange looks for the rest of the time.
I tried to do MILD last night but no luck, and my alarm didn't go off to do WILD for some reason. So I'm still trying to get there Some kind of disease Non-Lucid: I'm lying somewhere but I don't know where. Maybe it is a hospital, maybe the cafeteria again. Earlier in the dream I was attempting to do something, but I don't remember what. I have these yellow Bubo like things all over my body, and one massive one on my stomach. I'm just lying there and then I'm woken up. (In real life).
Good morning, everybody. Dream #1 I was in a classroom. I sat in a desk one or two rows back from the front and a little toward the left of the classroom. The classroom door was on the left side of the wall that the desks faced. The light of the classroom was a greenish fluorescent. The classroom was probably full of people. Everybody may have seemed about my age. But the class felt almost like a high school class. I sat twisted in my desk, the left side of my head propped up by my left hand. I was watching a woman or girl give a speech about something. The woman was giving the speech while seated at her desk. I knew that the woman's speech wasn't popular. She had expressly decided to say something she knew other people wouldn't like. Plus, her speech may have been boring. I was taking a little bit of a secret pleasure in knowing that the woman's speech was not well-received. She may have acted arrogant toward me in the past. So now I was happy to see people treating her indifferently. Somehow (maybe because of a bell?) the people all knew that the class period was over. They all got up and left the class, even though the woman was still giving her speech. The woman continued, seeming only a little put-off by being ignored by everybody. I now felt bad for the woman. I didn't think everybody would be so indifferent toward her. I thought she must feel horrible. So I listened harder to what she was saying, as if I were really interested in it. At some point, the speech was done. The woman was still seated in her desk. There were a couple other people in the room. One of them was some male friend of mine. He seemed a little bit older and classier than I. My friend made some criticism of the woman's speech while walking about on the left side of the classroom. He then addressed me as he walked out of the classroom. I understood the criticism the man had given the woman, though he'd addressed it to me. I tried to respond by adding onto the criticism in some witty way, and by using an accent. I may have been trying to sound French. But my attempt was horrible. My friend, standing just outside the classroom, told me, in a half-distracted way, that my accent was horrible. I stood up and walked out of the classroom. I told the man that I agreed with him. I told him I thought I sounded like --. But I couldn't remember the name of the person I was thinking about. She was a cartoon character, from the Bullwinkle show. I might have kept saying "Badenov, Badenov," because I remembered she was Boris Badenov's partner in crime. But I couldn't remember the character's first name. (Of course, it's Natasha.)

Orgy of Heroes Recall: 4/10 Sleep: Good Sleep Position: Switching back and forth, left side and right sideI'm in a mall, fighting off a bunch of super villains with a group of people. I don't seem to have any super powers, other than the power of being bad ass. I've got a bo staff that I'm whacking enemies with. I see a couple of my allies duck into a store to chase some woman, and when I look in to check on them, they are being held immobile by some woman with white hair and wind powers. I can see the wind pinning my allies down. I charge in and beat the wind woman in the head with my bo staff. My side prevails, and we end up at some house. I launch some sort of movie or program, and we end up with a bunch of female pornstars, which leads to an orgy. It's a hell of a good time, and when it's over, I replay the scenario. In the next iteration, I try to hook up with the girl I was with last time, but she goes off with someone else. I settle for a blonde, and figure I'll get my girl on the next go. But on the next round, there is no sex at all, and I begin to recognize there are key points that are randomized. On the final reset, I'm still wanting to nail that first girl again, but instead the homeowners show up. They don't like seeing a bunch of strangers in their house, but I take control of the situation and persuade the husband that it's no big deal. He's no longer upset, there was no harm done, and we all leave the house. Multiple versions of the same dream are always tough to recall for me. I didn't quite capture just how awesome that dreams was.
