All DJ Entries

So I've decided to start a dream journal. For my first entry, I will describe a recent natural lucid dream, which I don't get very often at all. So it was a pleasant surprise.

I was in one of my classrooms up at the teacher's desk. The teacher was either an actual teacher of mine or my mother; I think it kept switching between the two. I was talking to her, and suddenly thought something along the lines of "Wait a minute, I'm dreaming. Holy crap, I'm lucid! I gotta post this on DreamViews! ". So then I decided to see if I could control anything. The teacher was talking, and I wanted to talk, so I thought "Stop talking now. Shut up." And the teacher stopped talking. I'm not sure if it was really me that did it or if she just finished her sentence but I felt pretty accomplished.

Next I was walking down a corridor (the whole place looked like the Hogwart's castle) and I thought "Ok so-and-so will be standing around that corner when I get there." It didn't work, but I guess I didn't really expect it to since I've never tried controlling a dream before, even when I did have a natural lucid dream. The dream ended with navigating an extensive tower full of staircases. Then I woke up.

I'd say it was a pretty successful dream. I've been remembering a lot of dreams lately and I'm loving it, except a few of them have been really scary

The first dream i remember is gaming related:

I'm playing a match with my friends in Counter-Strike: Source and we're using a really slow tactic and i get really impatient and angry and ends up leaving and says to a female, that i think is my girlfriend in the dream: I hate Varde (a danish city), the internet and Counter-Strike: Source.

The next dream was more random:

I'm sleeping at a girls house, i know it's someone that i know, but i'm not sure who it is exactly. The funny part is that it's actually one of my friends house from real life we're sleeping in, but in the dream it's hers. Her mom is kind of a bitch and i'm scared of her. In the middle of the night i wake up to go the toilet. I then walk out to the kitchen and drink a glass of water. I look in their fridge and it's pretty much empty. For some reason i'm considering making scrambled eggs, but i drop it. Moments later, her mom wakes up and go to the toilet. I then quickly go back to the bedroom to sleep again. After laying in the bed for some times the girl come in and tell she have been attacked by an old friend. First she says that the attack was very bad, moments later it wasn't that bad, and moments later it actually weren't bad at all.

I remember at some point yelling at my brother and being real mad because he wants to eat the last two pieces of candy that i bought. I also remember being very embarrassed.

I remember going on some sort of trip.. I decided to work at a convenience store there. My job was to take candy brains into the bathroom, dip them into ranch (which there was a pool of in the urinals) then put them in salads and drizzle the salads with ranch.. Strangely, I ONLY remember doing the first part of my job (dipping candy brains) I had trouble doing so though, because there was some sort of fight in the bathroom, I felt in danger so I left the bathroom ASAP..

When my boss complained at me for not doing my job, I calmly explained to him the problem in the bathroom. He said he would take care of it and he did.. Although I never saw what happened..

I am then handed a wal-mart sack full of candy for another job.. I see Kali, Paige and what I think is Lanie sitting at the booth next to my boss and I..

"Ryker, you're the candy guy?"

I promptly answered "Yeah" as I was walking away..

---------

I then find myself entering "Dave's" (Our local convenience store) I go and sift through the stand in the middle that has salads and stuff, I find something I want but then I realize I only have 3 pennies.. I would feel bad walking in then leaving, so I casually stroll over to the door then I spot sun chips (love 'em) I take the Harvest Cheddar kind and then I go to get a fountain soda because I realize.. Mom sent me on my trip with 50 dollars, and I made 15 in "tips" at the other store.. So I decided to buy those for a dollar each..

As I am walking to the back of the store.. Dream fades...

I dreamt I'm visiting a foreign town far away. I vaguely remember driving up with a friend or two, though I'm not sure exactly who. When we arrive I learn that there is a strict curfew rule enforced by the "adults" who all appear to be scholarly women and men with 18th century facial hair styles and demeanor. They ring a bell and promptly close the doors shutting everyone inside.

One night, a friend and myself decided we had better plans for the night and, instead of going inside when the bell tolls, pose as "adults" and walk the streets. We wander the town to the outskirts search for a gas station where I have a run in with a man who knows me not to be an "adult." He makes passive threats to me, asking if I can run to a building in the distance faster than him in a less-than benevolent tone. I'm frightened, but pass it off and continue walking.

My companion has now assumed the spirit of my girlfriend in real life. At one point I remember holding hands. She has visited the town many times before and maybe even had lived here in here childhood for many years. She points out a bed of cushion and tarp which, she says, is used for dancing on. At that moment, I living severed head walking on crunches comes over the to tarp and begins to dance for us. Afterward, we're greeted by a man who is giving "free" things in return for our mailing address. He offers us an Xbox 360, but I tell him I'd rather fill out the one for free chicken wings. My girlfriend ends up filling both of them out.

Next, we're back in the town center were we first started. The place now reminds me of a college campus than it does a small town. The bell rings again, signaling the beginning of curfew. As the "adults" are ringing the bell a woman in man-made wings, designed to look like a butterfly wing and a sparrow wing, flaps her way to the top of the building. She perches and then takes off through the roof like it isn't there. Her wings are exceedingly more vibrant and magnificent on the other side. I soon realize it is merely a trick caused by the reflection of the water.

Non-Dream Dream Lucid

These are fragments of a dream that I remembered over breakfast - I remember all of them happening but not how they all fit together. The entire dream was a confusing mix of two places - my old school and my current high school. Despite being many miles apart in the real world, in my dream elements of both existed in the same place. Here are the fragments:

• I was in hockey training on my old school grass pitch
• I walk to my current school's pavilion where two boys from another school are sitting
• They don't have enough people to play a match
• They are wearing shirts similar to a certain house shirt at my current school
• They are from their school's first XI
• I am in my school's last team
• We decide to play them two against my our entire team
• CUTSCENE: What I understand to be a dormintory from the boys school. There are two columns of six or seven bunk beds stacked on top of each other. There is about 2m in between each level. There are boys jumping and swinging from rafters. One boy jumps on the matteress of the top level bed, and plummets through all seven mattresses below him, only to grab a beam just before he hits the floor. I remember thinking "you could only jump that high in a dream"
• SCENE 2: I am in my room at my high school.
• My mum calls me and asks me to meet me half way to the carpark of my last school, a five minute walk.
• I am in my room again, with a friend from my old school. He smells faintly of smoke.
• I am in my room again, a teacher from my old school has come to visit. He comments on an elecric photo-frame showing pictures of me and my old-school friends.
• I am in my room again, with a the parents of a friend from my high school.
• SCENE 3, different dream? :Looking at what an internet game called ArmorQuest with a friend from my high school.
• Despite being an internet game, it is a real book resting on a table.
• Me and my friend establish that the game used to be RuneScape, but had a name change.
• We open it to have a look, it looks quite like 'Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War' computer game
• We decide it must be like Warhammer Online, and resolve to try it out when we get home.

I feel I should point out that I have not played RuneScape or Dawn of War since I was about 12. I last saw the teacher from my old school over a year ago.

Dream - Lucid

I was sleeping outside, on some slab of rock, in some kind of courtyard. Then, I remember I was eating something, I think I was with my parents, and I saw a tooth fall out into my hand. I didn't think it could have possibly been my tooth, but I felt a hole in my gum, in the middle of the bottom right side of my mouth. I started freaking out. I needed a doctor, but it was Sunday, so no offices were open.

I decided to go to my old apartment complex to see if the doctor that was apparently working there could help me. I walked up to the gate-like door to the entrance, and there were 2 guards standing there. One of them, a black man, (he looked kind of like Dr. Foreman from House), asked me for my ID. I got frustrated, because I knew he knew who I was. He had never ID'd me before when I lived there. I told him I didn't have one, nor did I live there, but I needed to see the doctor because my tooth fell out, and I needed to get it put back in. He refused to let me by. I started getting angry, very angry. I somehow fought my way through, despite him trying to restrain me.

Once I was all the way through, the guard called out, "Security!". I tried to convince all of the guards and security officers that I just needed to see the doctor. It wouldn't take very long. I begged them to please let me, but they refused, since I didn't live there anymore. My mom had been with me, and they escorted us out. I was very distraught. My mom told me as we were leaving that she would look up how to fix my tooth online. My dad apparently didn't think this would work though.

I was then walking with my dad, talking to him about some research I wanted to do on lucid dreaming.

Then, we were all at the grocery store. I kept tounging the hole in my gum, and I was getting restless, because I knew that I only had a certain amount of time before I could no longer put the tooth back in. I took the tooth out of my jacket pocket and dropped it, but quickly picked it back up. I told my dad to hurry up. My dad told me to relax, and that I had 3 hours before the time limit was up. It had already been an hour and a half, and he was taking his precious time at the store. He picked up 3 small squares of Jello that were on a plate, I know one was red, and maybe one was green but I can't remember the other color. He asked us if we wanted the Jello or something else, and my brother said that he wanted the Jello. We wandered down the aisles, and I was getting more and more impatient.

~

An old coworker of mine, Jonni, was very sick in what I can only assume to be some sort of hospital bed, but it didn't look like a hospital room. It looked more like some sort of bedroom, and the bed was huge. I had to take care of him throughout the dream, and I kept going back to check on him from time to time. He had to miss some concert or something because of how sick he was, but he didn't seem very disappointed. He knew he was very ill, and couldn't go. I felt like I really needed to be there for him; I had a strong urge to take care of him.

Non-lucid Lucid

Jan. 22, '11: I tried the same breathing and relaxing method as the night before. I didn't get as close to consciously falling asleep as last night, but I did feel myself slip closer to sleep a couple of times.

Dreams: I was on a school bus. I had to climb over folded seats to get out. The door was very narrow and I barely fit through. I wondered how bigger people fit through it.
Outside the bus, there were lots of young people, possibly teenagers or college students. I jumped on a car and rocked it up and down.
I knew I was dreaming. Although I probably wasn't fully conscious. I was carrying some books or something. I threw them far away, toward some trees on a hill. The objects flew and vanished, with magic.
Then I jumped into the air and dived toward the ground. My hands went into the ground, without breaking the dirt. I could feel the soil even though my hands were nonphysical.
I walked around a bit. I was chewing on something. It was kind of gross and I wanted to spit it out.
I woke slightly and the scene changed.

I was in my grandparents' house (father's side), at a big table. I was still lucid, but my limbs were numb and hard to move.

A separate dream, no longer lucid: I was in college, a new semester, sitting in a computer lab. A class started. I had another class to go to. I got up and walked to the door to leave, but I had forgotten my soda and my shoes. There was a small fridge under the computer. I walked back to the computer, in front of the teacher to get my things.

Another dream: I was outside. It was dark. We passed a parked vehicle. Eddie pointed out a grasshopper on the vehicle, knowing that I don't like them. I mostly ignored him, saying I had seen it earlier. Then he threw the grasshopper at me and I woke up. I grumbled and said "little shit..."

"Turf War"

I was in a hotel, I believe. My mom and Cierra were there. Mom had come out of the room, in a pair of roller blades and a black spandex outfit. She had lost a lot of weight and looked amazing. (She has been working out really hard, lately.) She told me that she was going for a skate and asked if Cierra and I wanted to tag along. I remember just being really proud of her and not being able to believe how much younger she looked.

Later, we were all walking through the hood. I had eventually become lucid, but I don't actually remember how or when. At some point, we came across a large gang milling around, outside of a house. They told us they were preparing for a war, and that a rival gang was coming to their block, to try to take over. They were pretty much recruiting everyone that could, to help fight, and since I was lucid, I figured what the hell.

Along came the insurgency. An enormous group of hoodlums came walking up the street, toward us. I didn't exactly count, but there were definitely 50 or more; tightly packed together, so that they all fit between the curbs of the two-lane street. Immediately, I broke ahead of "my own" gang, and started stalking toward them - smiling. I belted out something along the lines of :"Are you motherfuckers crazy?? You all have no idea what's about to happen, do you??" They didn't even give me the courtesy of a response. They simply opened fire. I continued walking forward, the bullets slamming into me me with all the brute force of pebbles at a concrete wall. I was calmly closing the gap between us, silently reveling in the can of whoop-ass I was about to open on these clowns. Suddenly, from off to my left, a huge dog came sprinting in toward me. I don't figure that it belonged to any of the other gang members, but that it was just a neighborhood stray. Before I could even react, it snapped it's jaws down on my right hand, pulling and tugging at me with the total force of it's body-weight. It really didn't hurt very much, but I couldn't ignore the raw power that was behind the rest of the dog. Even though I knew I was dreaming, and had dissociated from the biting sensation on my hand as best I could, the dog was still causing me to stumble back and almost trip over myself, trying to get free.

I don't remember anything after that.

01/08/2011
(Still been playing a lot of Modern Warfare 2, so I've been having quite a few dreams involving firefights, but my recall has been pretty shoddy and I haven't been remembering very much lately.)

"Blades and Bullets"

This dream was like a massive round of Team Deathmatch, and it was absolute chaos. It was night out, and the match was soldiers vs. ninjas. Everywhere, people were just running around, taking each other out. The ninjas were using every nook and cranny that could, to launch surprise attacks, whenever possible. We were on some sort of compound, that really didn't have very many walls, but had lets of wooden beams and banisters. It kind of looked like it might have been a Japanese compound, but I can't be sure. The battle was just fast and intense, there wasn't much time to seek cover or anything, just run and gun, whether down on the ground or running over the conjoined rooftops of the compound. Sometimes, either time would get intel on enemy meetings, waiting for large numbers to show up in one place before launching an ambush and taking out as many people as possible.

The last thing I remember is a huge swinging log trap coming down at me. When I dove out of the way, it flew passed and smashed into the base of another enormous tree, causing it to topple over...right toward me. I got up and ran like hell just as the tree crashed to the ground.

Fragment
Another Call of Duty type of dream. I was in the city street at night, fighting waves and waves and waves of opposing soldiers, which were coming in from all angles. It was a lot like the "Body Count" Spec Ops mission on Modern Warfare 2. I took a lot of bullets, and this dream was actually very painful (though I believe I was wearing armor, so I was able to keep fighting). I also had a partner in this dream (I had played this mission with Todd, recently.), but I'm not exactly sure who it was.

I'm just going to retype one of those four dreams that got screwed up. They were all lucids, but one was a complete fail and I couldn't do anything in the other two.

~I was standing out in my backyard with a few friends. It was dark out, and a person started walking towards us. I woke up. Then I fell back into the dream and knew I was dreaming. My friends were running towards a clearing a little ways away. I followed them.

Once we were all there, I was really excited and I jumped up... But I have no idea how I did the next thing. I went high up into the air and was suddenly some amazing creature. I was tall and had pale blue skin with purple designs all over. And I had these wing-type things. My arms were really long and made the top part. Then the actual wing was sort of like a butterfly's, but it waved and billowed and flowed around me like a dress when I spun around and flew in the air.

I was flipping around and doing all sorts of wild tricks. I was still lucid, so somewhere in the back of my mind I was astounded that I hadn't crashed to the ground yet. But it was completely effortless and I didn't even have to think. When I eventually came back down, I was myself again. I don't know what the heck happened; maybe it was my excitement exploding out in some random way.

For the rest of that dream, my friends and I rode around in bumper-car things that shot lasers.

non dream - lucid - non lucid

I've been trying to prolong my lucid dreams lately.
I noticed that lucids featuring Yuya have lasted much longer than other lucids I've had.
I'm assuming this is because these dreams were much more immersive and just felt "more real".
I've experimented with this tutorial: (Tutorial for extending Lucid Dream Time. Hours of LD. by Gary - Dream Journals - Dreamviews Lucid Dreaming Community & Resource) during normal lucid dreams, and although it definitely prolonged the dreams, they still didn't last much longer than 10-15 minutes.
I feel like the immersion, such as in the dreams with Yuya, is a necessary aspect to have very long lucid dreams.
This is my first attempt at having a long lucid dream in the company of Yuya.


(I can't remember exactly how the dream started. I think I teleported to Teraluna and I've talked to Yuya for a few minutes)
I'm walking through some sort of flower garden with Yuya.
The flowers and plants are quite high, about 2 meters in size. Most of them are very colorful, blue, green and a few yellow ones.
There are small trees of the same size growing those blue fruits Yuya likes to make tea from.

I told Yuya that I want to learn how to prolong my stay in this world, and she's been explaining a few basics to me.
She explained that the most important aspect would be to anchor my senses in this world and not to think about waking life at all.
So as I walk through the garden, I try to absorb my surroundings as well as I can.
For some reason I close my eyes to do this. (I think I wanted to focus on my other senses, not only vision, and I thought doing this would help)
I listen: I can hear the flow of water through the garden, small animals making all kinds of noises, the sound of my feet touching the ground...
I smell: The air smells very fresh, the pollen from all the plants give the place a very strong and distrinct odor.
I taste: I bite into one of the mentioned blue fruits which I'm carrying with me. It's very sour but also immensely refreshing.
I feel: The consistence of the fruit as I bite into it, the slight breeze of air as it touches my skin, the texture of the ground I'm standing on...
I note that the simple experience of just being somewhere and just analyzing my own senses is actually quite a strong sensation.
I open my eyes...

It feels different from before, it feels more real.
It didn't feel "unreal" before, but there is a clear difference, I really feel like I'm actually standing in the garden right now.
The visual detail of the world has also increased.
I can now see tiny glowing fireflies flying around the garden, I couldn't see them before.
My 6th sense is active as well, I am fully aware of my close surroundings, even if I don't look at them.
(My senses were more precise than in waking life. My complete field of vision was sharp, not only the very center, The texture of things I touched felt much more detailed etc...)

"This is real..." (I think I said this without a real reason, not because I confused the waking and the dream world or something like that)
At this point I know that this dream is going to last for a very long time.

Yuya approaches me and looks into my eyes acting quite serious:

"Welcome, to the real world."

After an awkward moment of silence she starts laughing.
I notice she was imitating Morpheus as a joke and I have to laugh as well, she really got me there.
We keep walking through the garden.

"Do you know all of the movies I have seen?"

"No, I know the overall plots, and scenes you found quite memorable, but I haven't actually seen them."

This makes sense, she knows them from my memories, and you can't memorize a complete movie, you memorize the plot, the characters and a few key moments...
We walk out of the garden arm in arm... (We talk some more, I can't remember the topic of the conversation though...)

... We arrive at some sort of stage?
It's not really a stage, more of a platform with some instruments on them.
I immediately notice something that resembles an electric guitar.

"Do you want to play?"

Although it resembles an electric guitar, some features are quite different. I see frets and strings, the overall shape is the same, but the whole electronics are completely different.
"No... I don't think I know how ti play it."
Yuya grabs my hand and starts dragging me towards the instruments.

"Come-on! It will be fun!"

She fiddles about with some stuff and hands me the guitar. I sit down and she sits right in front of me facing me.

"Try it!"

It feels different from a real guitar. It's lighter, the strings are much softer, they're clearly not steel, but not nylon either.
The strings are very easy to bend and don't cut into the fingers a all.
The electronics are... organic?
The pickups seem to be replaced by some sort of plant, and veins feed into an amp which consists of some sort of glowing organic bubbles.
It's quite a sight. I grab one of the stone picks attached to the guitar and try to play an F powerchord.
It's barely audible, and it doesn't sound right at all.

"Volume!"

She turns what appears to be the volume knob on the guitar up.
I take a closer look at the guitar since it sounded quite wrong and notice it has 8 strings.
How on earth is an 8 string guitar tuned? I haven't even played a 7 string one...
I gently pick the first few strings individually. The first two sound quite deep, the third one seems to be tuned to E, the fourth to A, aah, suddenly something familiar!
I try to play a few simple chords on the lower strings, assuming they are in standard tuning, and it works just fine.
The guitar sounds more like a combination between a cello and a violin rather than an electric guitar, but I love the sound.
Yuya proceeds to explain some more parts of the guitar. There are actually some sort of distortion sliders directly on the guitar which is quite cool.
I'm still not really confident, finger positioning feels really easy on the very thin neck, but I'm afraid I won't be able to play very well.

I have no idea what to play, and she's staring at me...
For some reason I start playing Stairway to Heaven, not sure if I should feel like an idiot or not.
As my nervousness decreases I begin to play surprisingly well considering it's a very unfamiliar guitar.
"There's a lady who's sure..."
Oh god, how cliche is this?
I feel stupid for singing and decide to stop, though I keep playing for a bit.
Yuya seems quite impressed that I seem to be doing ok with the guitar.

She grabs a guitar herself. It looks different from mine, I think it has even more strings.
I feel quite uneasy, she's going to want to play something together, and somehow I don't feel I have the skills to do it.

"Let's play something powerful"

"I'm not really that good..."

"Pleaaaaaaase?"

"Right... What do you want to play?"

She starts to search for some chords, trying to figure out a song she's heard before.
Is she trying to play the Nightwish version of Phantom of the Opera?
I try to remember the riffs and crank the distortion on the guitar.
I play a few notes.

"Yes! That one! Let's play that one!"

I have to try around quite a bit until I remember how to play the full song, but I get there.
Yuya plays lead over it, she mostly improvises, but it fits the song very well.
Then at one point, after starting from the beginning, she completely surprises me.

"In sleep he sang to me... In dreams he came~"

Her voice is so overwhelming, she's an absolutely phenomenal singer. Her voice is very powerful, yet very emotional.
I stop playing for a bit because I just can't believe how awesome her singing is.
Once I notice I've stopped I resume playing, completely focusing on her fantastic voice.

"That voice which calls to me... And speaks my name
And do I dream again... For now I find
The Phantom of the opera is here... Inside my mind"

My mind is blown, it's a good thing you can play guitar "on autopilot" or I wouldn't be able to keep going.
And then she looks at me, giving me a very clear sign with her head.
She wants me to sing the other part...

"I'm a very bad singer..."

"Believe in yourself, you can do it!"

My part is coming up, I ponder whether or not I should try it... fuck it.

"Sing once again with me... Our strange duet."
Well shit, if I'm attempting this I should try to do it right.
I put a lot of power into my voice, try to get into the correct mood and let my emotions flow into the singing.

"My power over you... Grows stronger yet
And though you turn from me... To glance behind
The Phantom of the opera is there... Inside your mind"

It doesn't sound nearly as bad as it should.
In fact it sounds rather good, I'm quite impressed.
It's miles away from Yuya's singing skills obviously, but I have the confidence to keep going.
We keep singing and playing music for some time, I'm really enjoying it.
A lot of time passes as we try a few more songs.

As it starts getting dark we decide to stop and Yuya takes me to some sort of restaurant I guess?
In the city there's a few large tables outside, with dishes on them.
We sit down and have dinner, continuing to talk about all kinds of things.
We mostly talk about my life, about decisions I've made...
The food is quite good, very spicy, it reminds me of the Greek kitchen a bit.
I'm not really sure what it is we're eating though, it's some sort of animal with vegetables.
Everything tastes quite exotic, but I like all of it, except some weird potato like thing which just tastes weird.

After we're done eating we walk back to Yuya's place.
She's obviously tired, and she hangs on to my arm as we walk.
It's quite dark in her bedroom, which is completely open on one side.
You can see the sky and a waterfall quite far away.
As I stand there looking outside, Yuya takes her dress off.
I'm quite surprised by this, she's standing half naked in the same room with me now, though she has her back turned towards me.
There's something on her back? A tattoo? It's glowing in the dark.
As she puts on a dress for the night I remember that those are actually some sort of small animals.
They attach themselves to the back of a person and live of our body heat for some time until they are old enough to fly away.
Everyone living in Riven for some time has those. I wonder if I do.

Yuya gets into her bed, which I am standing rather closed to.
I'm a bit confused as to what to do.
She's holding up the blanket.

"You coming?"

"Sure."
I take off my shirt and get into the bed.
I'm surprised by how normal this feels, I think I have slept with her in the same bed before...
She puts her right arm around me and rests her head on my right shoulder.

After just a few minutes she's asleep. I on the other hand have quite some trouble falling asleep.
I can't stop being amazed as I feel her breathing in her sleep.
At one point I do fall asleep though.


(dream within a dream)
I see a younger version of myself in third person, probably about 15 or 16.
I'm with Yuya and Selene. Yuya looks the same way she does nowadays, her hair is a bit shorter.
We're in a huge battle. We're fighting some kind of daemon wielding an unnaturally big sword.
Selene is wounded, leaning against a pole and the daemon is attacking her.
I have wings of fire and a burning fire tattoo on my body. On my back the tattoo forms the face of a dragon.
I mimic the way dragons use their energy, allowing me to use their powers.
I manage to get between Selene and the daemon just in time.
The view switches to first person. I block the sword with both of my hands and put all of my energy into stopping the attack.
My back hits the pole and the blade cuts a few centimeters into my shoulder before I manage to stop it...


I wake up from the dream.
Yuya is already up and has made breakfast.
I sit down at the table and we drink a glass of juice. I'm not really hungry yet but I grab a slice of bread anyways.
Suddenly I realize I've just woken up and I forgot to RC. (I think I'm in waking life since I woke up and I RC every time I wake up to catch FA's)
I do the nose pinch RC but it doesn't work, well, obviously it won't because I'm awake.
It takes me a few seconds to remember that I actually am dreaming, and I am very confused.
Then I remember that I went to sleep within a dream, I've never done that before.
My real body is still asleep in my bed...
The vision fades.
Ah shit, I'm a fucking idiot thinking about that...
I wake up.


I'm slightly confused for a few seconds after waking up.
The pieces quickly fit together though.
I RC and get up.

In World of Warcraft, when you try to venture into the sea, a bar labled "fatigue" kills you if you go to far. I remember thinking "there's a glitch that lets me disable that", so I used the glitch, and I started walking on the water across the ocean. I saw this island in the distance, and ran over to it, however, everything turned dark, and I got really cold. "This HAS to be a dream" I thought. I yelled "LIGHT" really loud, but woke up when I did. So, it seems I did have a lucid dream, it was really crappy, but a little lucid dream is better than none, right?

Non-Dream/Non-Lucid/Lucid

My alarm didn't wake me up for my WBTB and I ended up sleeping the entire night. Because of that I have low recall and had low levels of consciousness in each dream.


Dream 1:

I am a waiter of some kind. Something happened I guess....

Dream 2:

I am standing in the hotel lobby of the Hilton hotel near Blake Minnesota. I am coming down to the first floor in the elevator. When the elevator lets everyone off I walk forward towards the lobby and then turn right towards the restaurant. Another right into the restaurant shows me that all of the tables are gone except for one which my parents are sitting at. I walk up to them and ask them what they want. They tell me that one of their cables connecting the table to the internet is loose and they need me to connect mine in. I agree and take the cord I am apparently carrying around and attach it to their table and then to the wall outlet. I then ask them if that is all they need, they say yes, so I leave. On my way back I hear my parents calling my room again asking for my brother to come down with his cable. I am jealous that my parents would prefer my fake brother plug in cords than me, so I wait right next to the turn into the restaurant for my brother to show up. Sure enough, a few seconds later I see someone turning the corner with a pink Ethernet cord in his hands. I tell him that it turns out our parents didn't need the cord anyway and that he should just turn around and go upstairs. However I tell him I should keep his cord just for safe keeping. He agrees without much argument and goes back upstairs. After my brother has left in the elevator I walk into the restaurant, tell my parents that my brother got lost and I have a spare cord, and then plug in the pink cord when my parents say nothing to the contrary. I first plug one end into the table and as I am plugging the other end into the wall

I wake up

My dad and I go into an old looking cinder-block building where French
Creek Elementary school should be. It is a rather small building and there
is a chain-link fence along the side of the road. We go down the steps into
a sort of basement-like area. I somehow know this place was, in some way,
damaged and it belongs to a friend of my Dad's. I feel like we're looting
the place but my Dad says its okay. My Dad's friend comes down. He looks like
a classic contractor. Slightly heavyset but not really overweight, dirty white
shirt and blue jeans, and a beige tool belt around his waist. The man somewhat
resembled Al Borland from "tool time"?. He said hi to my dad and started helping
him go through the stuff that was salvageable. We only found one thing. It was
some sort of rectangular clear plastic piece with a bunch of clear plastic
components inside and an orange piece in the center. My Dad thanked his friend
and left with the piece. Suddenly, I got a sense of paranoia. I felt as if there
was some sort of impending danger, so I looked out the window at the top of the
room and I could just see several "gangsters" with guns climbing over the fence.
I decided to run for the fence. I got out and the gang was shooting at some other
innocent bystanders. I ran for the fence and one of them noticed me. Every time
he would shoot at me, I would run faster or skid to a halt and the bullet would
miss me. I finally reached the fence and tried to vault it. In real life, I would
have no problem doing this, but I got to the apex of the vault and sort of hung
there facing the ground. I managed to get down but by that time one of the gang
members had his gun trained on me. I don't remember what happened next but I
somehow had saved the life of the one who had had the gun on me and the two
remaining gang members offered to escort me up the hill to my house since they
had bicycles and I did not. ( The logic made sense in the dream ). So I started
walking up the hill with one in front and the other not to far behind. After
getting up around the bend, a car was coming from behind. I looked over and
my crush and her brother were in the car. I said that I knew them. The gangster
in front decided to ride in front of the car backwards and the car slowly pushed
him along, he did not fall over or anything. Then I woke up.

No Recall, I went back to sleep and had a dream I remember...
