Couldn't think of a name for this one

The dream started out where I was in Mrs. B (my old homeroom teacher)'s room, sort of. Apparently we were told to meet at a gym for some academics thing. My friend (let's call her Ginger for security reasons) was standing on the other side of the room, and I was doing homework or something. A little girl (let's call her Anne) came up to me. She looked at what I was doing. Apparently seeking attention, I looked up at the girl and she told me the ceremony was to start soon. By now Ginger was already at the door waiting for us.

I got up and Anne excitedly walked beside me.

- - - - (No recall)

I remember driving a Model T or Jeep (I couldn't tell which) in the parking lot outside the building (where the ceremony was held) and I kept going too fast and I couldn't find the brake on the car. All I felt was the gas pedal. With Ginger and Anne in the car, I was trying to be careful.

I finally tied to park but almost hit the car nearest me. I backed up and tried again, this time my car went a little too far and almost fell over the small cliff in front of me. By now, Anne and Ginger were already out of the car, and Ginger was running towards the gym. Anne was waiting on me.

I walked towards the front of the car and tried my best to not fall off. I was trying to push the car away from the drop off. Nothing to grab, I lost my balance and jumped to the nearest cliff rock in my panic. After this I looked around and saw my sketchbook on the rock beside me.

In my effort to not let it fall (l0l) I grabbed and threw it to the top of the cliff by the car. After this I realized that I wasn't able to jump to where I originally was. So I prayed to myself that a boat might come along. A few minutes later, one did, to my amazement. But it looked sort of like a crane. I think I jumped down to it, and they hoisted me back up the cliff to my car.

- - - - (no recall)

I finally found Ginger and Anne in the main lobby of the building. We went into the gym but we only saw a few people. I guess I was walking towards a locker room and a British lady with a thick accent started talking to me from behind. I started mimicking her for some reason. l0l.
The next little part of the dream is just to weird for me to say

For the first time since I started this whole lucid journey, I wake up feeling not only that I cant recall, but that I didnt dream at all. Of course I know I did, but I really feel the only reason I cant remember anything is that there is simply nothing to remember

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID FALSE AWAKENING

A shitty night. I was very tired but still I tried so hard to set my mind to the elevator task (task of the month). I did dream about elevators a lot, but unfortunately it wasn’t good enough to accomplish the task.


0:20 GMT – Sleep

Can’t recall any dream, just thoughts come to my mind, but I doubt they are related to what I was dreaming.

3:30 GMT

Participating at a conference
Remember vaguely a train travel (recurrent), being in a palace-like house (another recurrent) and taking an elevator (could have been the elevator task of the month, don’t know).
Then I remember a bit better being with my mom at some conference room. We arrived late and were going to sit on the floor on the aisle, as we couldn’t find any available seats, but someone just arranged us two seats, lateral, but close enough to the front. No idea what the conference was about, but there was some person speaking and it was something political.
Then I also remember being with my mom at some snack-bar or small dinner (maybe cafeteria of this conference place) and the menu was all around pasta dishes. I had a big fattening pasta dish wish cream sauce and I still had to eat part of my mothers dish because she didn’t want to eat it all and I always feel bad about leaving food on the plate.

6:40 GMT

College residences
I’m staying with colleagues at what seems to be a college residence. From the main hallway, there were stairs leading to some kind of inner courts – shared rooms for groups of students – then leading to individual rooms. These common rooms were quite colourful and artistic, leaving me the impression that some of these students were art or fashion students.
We are all departing the next day to someplace all together. Some already departed today. I just realise that I was supposed to go with today’s group and I’m pissed that now I have to spend money changing my ticket for the next day.
When going from one group common room to my own, I have to go to the floor upstairs and on my way I encounter this little baby from this couple that is staying on their own separate double room with direct access to the hallway. The baby is lovely but too small to be playing alone in the hallway, so I stop and play with him, waiting for his parents to appear. I tickle him and he laughs like crazy. Then his parents do appear but they don’t seem so happy with what I’m doing. I try to break the ice saying I was just looking over the baby so he was safe and offer to babysit him whenever they need – “just knock on my door.”.

Not my sexual fantasy, sorry
I’m on the shower with my boyfriend when some other couple I never saw in my life join us on the opposite side of the shower. Thank god the bathtub was long and we didn’t even need to be close. I felt a bit uncomfortable, but hey, it’s just a shower, everyone’s naked, no reason to feel so embarrassed. I’m just curious where they came from and why. But then they start having sex, more specifically, the guy starts doing oral sex on the girl.
I am shocked. They didn’t even say a word to us but then feel free to do that in front of us? But my boyfriend is getting horny and wants to play along. I am doubly shocked! I mean, I’m not extremely puritan, but I can’t do certain things with people I never saw before, there needs to be some emotional connection. So I just grab a towel and leave. But when I open the bathroom door, it goes directly to the street. I don’t care. I am wet, barefoot and half-naked but I just want to go away from that dream and do something else. Then I’m walking the streets, semi-lucid, enjoying being half-naked in a fancy neighbourhood, and guys in jaguars pass by and look totally surprised at me.


Chasing thieves
I’m coming out of a supermarket with my mom, carrying a trolley full of groceries. The supermarket is on a upper floor of some building and the parking lot is underground or ground level and with the trolley we need to take the elevator to get there.
We are approached by a begging couple who offers to carry the trolley in exchange for some coins. We are not very willing to do so, but we agree. Then they enter the elevator with the trolley and there’s not enough space for us all. They tell us to go next that they’ll be waiting for us, but it smells fishy to me. I immediately sense that it’s a scheme just to rob us. I tell my mother to stay there and I basically jump all those floors – maybe 10 – through the centre of the stairways. I manage to arrive at the door of the elevator when they have just come out of it. The problem is they have an accomplice waiting and one manages to stall me while the other runs with the trolley. But not for long. I kick his ass, capture the other guy and also kick his ass and recover my trolley. Then I go back to the elevator to go up. But strangely enough, now it is too small, only has space for myself (I guess the trolley is now bye-bye from this dream) and I can’t even move. Once again I feel claustrophobic, so I decide to close my eyes until it stops. But it starts moving slower, I feel upset with that and I wake up. (Another lost opportunity for the task of the month).


8:15 GMT – Wake up

I'm at some party M is throwing, and it just feels good to see her again. We were running around like kids at some point, and we came in to eat. She cooked fried fish, and was telling everyone at the table her issues she's had with boyfriends in the past. She told me she wanted me to see her nipples soon. It was so out of the blue, but I said "okay, did you get them pierced". She told me no, but she planned on doing it, but she wanted me to see the before and after, or something. Then she talked about getting some tattoos done and asked me what I thought of them. I told her that I'd never get one myself, but people can do whatever they want to with their bodies. She started asking everyone else around the table as well. Like she was looking for a particular answer that would please her more. More or less something she wanted to hear. But then she sat right next to me and put her hand right next to mine so our index fingers would touch. I looked and both of them had identical calcium deposits. We both smiled at each other as the dream faded out.

Nature imitates man
I walked outside and headed to the utility room where the freezer is at. I looked inside and saw a lot of Klondike bars. I closed it and I saw some strange insect walking around. It looked like two glade plugins next to each other, and the lights actually worked. I was pretty amazed for a second and I called my pops to come look at it. And I thought about RCing....and I did. Pops came over and looked at it, and tried to say that it wasn't nothing in there, and as soon as I headed off, I woke up.

This night I only had 3 hours of sleep, so my mother allowed me to stay home. When I got up I decided to sleep on the couch instead of my bed.. After a good long while... I finally decided to go back to sleep..

I lay down and suddenly I get that Sleep paralysis rush... Lucid attempting time I think.... So I open my "dream eyes" and I see a couch... But not ours... It's the loveseat.. I KNOW I'm not sleeping on the loveseat right now

It's very hazy and I have trouble keeping my dream eyes opened... I have A LOT of trouble moving my dream limbs.. It fades away...

-After I wake up again I instantly close my eyes and enter SP again.. The exact same thing happens to me.. Eventually I find myself somewhere... I have trouble remembering exactly where.. I do an RC (Finger through palm) but it doesn't work.. I do other things like try to Jump super high and fly but that doesn't work either.. I remembered "Spend your first few lucids getting used to the dream world.." But I had know idea what to do... How do I increase vividness?

1. My family has a coupon for half-off four cones of premium ice cream. I get some sort of chocolate cookie dough flavor, but toward the end it turns to vanilla with the consistency of cream cheese, and I'm eating it out of a foil wrapper instead of a cone. Dad goes on a rant about someone leaving the bottom tip of a cone on the floor and irrationally blames me, even though I always eat the entire cone.

2. Trying to photograph ocean waves, but getting more interested in a plant on the boat.

3. I'm upset about the concept of some new game. (Something to the order of having Sonic the Hedgehog wash dishes and do housecleaning.)

4. I'm walking home at night in the rain through a maze of sidewalks, courtyards, and imposing Victorian architecture. I get to a house that is apparently mine, and head up to the bathroom, while telling my butler (apparently I have a butler in this dream) to have a fresh change of clothes ready. I get undressed, but before I can take my bath, I have to break a bunch of gems that represent some enemy. I'm about to break the last one, but it's chained to one that represents me, and if I break it, it would kill me. So instead, I pull a sword out of my chest (Revolutionary Girl Utena-style) and use it to slice the chain. Then there's a copy of myself on the floor in agony as part of her face breaks into purple light. I kneel down to hold her still and comfort her until it's over.

5. I'm at an anime convention, but I can't find the dealer's hall. The artist's alley is a set of bleachers with the different artists progressively higher on the benches in proportion to their prices. There's a room with food, but I wasn't allowed in, because they said it was "exchange only" - you have to bring food to trade for theirs. But it was all potatoes and zucchini anyway, so I wasn't missing much. I also wander into an art installation where there's a big screen behind you that shows your silhouette in trails of color as you move around (something I remember from the Lincoln Children's Museum when I was a kid, and miss dearly - curse the "adults must be accompanied by at least one child" rule!). I spend a lot of time playing, because I'd probably never get the chance to relive those memories again. When I'm done, the person in charge of the installation invites me to a ballet, but it's scheduled for several months after the convention, at which point I'd be in a different state.

I am lost in a dark forest and though I cannot see them, I know there are goblins chasing me. The trees of the forest are huge and look like sequoias except that their bark is grey and white rather than red. I can see the full moon sometimes between the branches of the huge trees but it offers little light to find my way through the forest.

I come to a river that is is not very wide but it is very deep and the water is moving very fast. I am afraid that I will be swept away with the current if I try to swim across. I head downstream, following as close to the river as I can while staying amoungst the trees.

Because of the noise of the fast flowing water, I cannot hear goblins sneaking up behind me. One of them grabs my arm but I shake him off and in a panic I jump into the river. The water carries me fast and far away from the goblins but I have trouble keeping my head above the water and start to drown.

I am almost out of air when someone grabs me around the waist and pulls me to the other side of the river. I cough out all the water I swallowed as the man who saved me pats me gently on the back. When I have calmed down a bit I see that we are in a clearing and with no trees blocking the moonlight I can see the man who saved me.

He looks like Legolas (as played by Orlando Bloom in Peter Jackson's rendition of the Lord of the Rings trilogy), and is dressed in royal silver and blue robes. A silver crown sits on his head and catches the moonlight in such a way that it looks as if there is a glowing halo surrounding his head.

I lay in awe on the ground and look up at him and he just softly smiles at me. I cannot remember any more of this dream.

asked a dc for dg location, went there, no dream guide. nothing.

Lost Dream Guide (dild)

I am in bedroom and outside my window I see the neighbor's house oddly painted a bright yellow. I look at my hands and have too many fingers. I slowly walk downstairs and through the kitchen. Taking in all the sights and sounds. I go outside and hope the fence into the parking lot. I see a co-work approaching with two dogs. They attack me. I am bit and it is a reasonably painful sensation. I toss the dogs off to the side and they run away.

"Where is my dream guide?" I ask. "...I dunno." he replies.

I go back to my porch and yell "Mom!". She walks out. "Where is my dream guide?" I ask. In, let me think, in a sort of shower" she she said. "What? Dammit, what shower? She tells me what I already know. She smiles. "In the neighbor's shower"

I do some spiderman shit. I jump up on the railing, a huge leap to the fence, on top of his roof, and jump down in front of the door. I enter.

I enter and the house is still quite messy and the same layout from (Part 4). So I know right where the steps are and bathroom. I go up and in, tear down the shower curtain and there is nothing in the bathroom.

For kicks I close my eyes and spin. My hands hitting the walls and sink. I keep my eyes close and do back flips. I open them and I am back in my kitchen. My whole family is there laughing at me because they say I am just spinning like an idiot. I wake up.

Haven't had very good dreams lately for some reason...

I had a dream the other night that I had five children and didn't know what to do with them so I dropped them off at some strange pink house full of children.

I had to find a new house, and I kept finding rooms that were really small and wouldn't fit my bed. It was very important that I have my queen sized bed with me.

I was wandering down a road, there was a large dead looking hill to my left with a dutch brothers (drive through coffee place, not sure if it's only in Oregon) on the top. The woman inside of it was screaming.
--

Dream recall has been worse than it has been in two years, no idea why.

My sleep schedule has done a complete turn in the last few days - I've been going to bed at the same time as my friend, and my recall is already improving. But man, being tired a lot is no fun. *yawn* Hopefully that'll improve soon.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

07.09.2010

School Life (Non-lucid)

Axis Powers Hetalia dream. School AU, Spain x Romano. The two were talking, especially Romano about his life, and he brought up Rome. Spain got a little sad, because Rome had been his teacher and he was dead now. Italy was also mentioned.

~Spain unbuttoned Romano's shirt to see his chest, which had writing on it.

~Romano took a shower?

~Fragments: Class, kids - 1, doesn't know answer

_________________________

APH Fragment (Non-lucid)

All I know was that it was Axis Powers Hetalia again and that it was about a couple. :/ I fell asleep before I could write it down.

_________________________

Crash Landing (Non-lucid)

Horrible vehicle accident dream. Took place at Renee Lane. I was driving in a truck(?) all over the yard, and apparently I flipped a switch that made me go really fast and I couldn't stop. I go flying over a hill but when I crash, I am no longer in the truck, but watching from the yard. I run over the hill panicking because mom and dad are in it, and how could anybody survive a crash like that?

When I get there, both of them are getting out looking banged up. I think I ask how dad is.

~Something about an injection in the neck. The tip was green.

~Something about me breaking a couple of fingers or maybe toes.

_________________________

Musical (Non-lucid)

There was a musical with four girls on stage. In the beginning I am one of the girls, and we're doing this part where we're sitting down and crossing our legs back and forth. It didn't really matter how we did it as long as we did it fast, but you had to start over again if you flubbed one a certain way.

Then I'm in the audience with my old school friend L. She tells me a story about how her 4 year old brother was killed by her other brother so that L, who was 2-3, could have his marrow to save her life. I think he got off because he was 'trying to save his sister'.

Someone in the audience asks the girls on stage what the 'funniest line' was. The middle girl thinks about it, says the line and explains why it's funny.

_________________________

H2 (Non-lucid)

Masturbation dream in the bathroom (not the one in RL). At one point Riley was in there, and jumped out. I thought to myself that that must be how she got on the something or other in the hall.

_________________________

Signing In (Non-lucid)

Mom needed help figuring out how to sign into a wallpaper site because she accidentally logged out. We couldn't find it anywhere though. She decided to call the site's tech support.

- On the left-hand side of the page in big letters was the word FUCK. I think I figured it was her username.
- When I woke up I got that deja vu feeling that the site was familiar.

AUDIO-INDUCED LUCID DREAM EXPERIMENT ENTRY #6

Day #7 (NO LUCID):

~Tried a later time for the MP3 to go off in hopes that it would hit me during a clearer dream, but it wasn't late enough...I naturally awoke before the MP3 started playing, however, I fell asleep with it still running, and although I didn't go lucid, I had more control in my dream than normal.

The dream began with me on facebook, looking at a post from a friend asking if anyone would be willing to do logo design for him (a real life memory that spread into the dream). I said I could do it and asked what the logo was for. When I got the reply, said friend told me: "Oh...just BLACK MESA!"

Next thing I know, I'm in City 17, and the place is under attack. Both zombies and Metro Cops are trying to take me out, and I'm freerunning the heck out of there. I make it--barely--after leaving behind a grenade that I found on my belt to slow down my pursuers. I didn't stop, though. My brain told me to run through the 'underground railroad' that would get me to Eli, just like in the real life Half-life 2 game.

The dream basically threw me into my memories from Half-Life 2, then. I did everything on the underground railroad just like in the game, only I was actually all there, and I felt the fatigue of always running and the danger of fighting off enemies. Eventually, I made it to a half-way point; a safehouse hidden off to the side of the canal I was taking the airboat through. Only...there was nobody there to tell me where to go next. Unsure of what to do, I found my way to a bed and collapsed on it. I couldn't rest though...not with the ever-present feeling of being watched. So instead, I got beneath the bed where no one could see me and tried to go to sleep there.

I never got the chance. Within a few minutes I heard the distant radios of Metro Cops heading my way. They were giving instructions on where to search...and two of them were coming right into my room. I looked around from beneath the bed, but there was no way out. I'd just have to be silent and hope they never found me.

Their shadows were on the wall...and then, the ominous figure of one of them stood in the doorway. The wooden floor thudded dully with each step of the cop. He looked all around the room, and then turned to the bed. The cop slowly leaned over and peered beneath, staring me right in the eye...but in desperation to not be found, I convinced myself to be invisible.

"All clear."

The cop left, and I returned to visibility with a sigh of relief. As soon as the cops were gone, I got up and left to try and complete the railroad myself. But something weird happened, then. The dream went into 3D. I mean, like the red and blue 3D. And in the dream, I put on red and blue 3D glasses and I saw everything in 3D! Like, it actually popped out at me and had depth like I rarely see in dreams! And of course, since it was a dream, the colors looked correct unlike real red/blue 3D.

That's about all I remember. It was a pretty enjoyable dream, actually...I've really got to be more creative with my lucids to beat these kinds of things!

Ive been practicing lucid dreaming for a little bit over 2 months now and ive had around 30 lucid dreams overall. Last night, I had 5 lucid dreams. Id say this is a hard to compare with success. I use several methods with great results. I dont even follow a steady sleep schedule. Here they are:

1. Pay attention to the world around you. Keep an alert mind. Focus visually on the different patterns and shapes in the objects around you. This helps form a distinction between reality and dreams.

2. Try to notice when you wake up. Dont open your eyes. Just lay there and think about a dreamscape. If you make this reflex, your mind will automatically chain lucid dreams together. The dreams will be easy to distinguish from reality because you had previously thought of them. They are your creation and you are going to grasp on to them. You will become lucid. Also, try to get into your 4th rem stage, wherever that is for you. It usually begins at around 6 and a half hours of sleep for me. This is where you will have the most satisfying lucid dreams. If I try to wild before getting any sleep, i can do it, but the dream is fuzzy and last only a couple minutes. wait until your rem periods are full and complete.

3. What have you been doing with your life? Is your life complete? Are you holding off on your daily responsibilities? I find that my mind will only allow me to lucid dream once I have a sound mind. Otherwise, i just get dreams that express much symbolism, usually, after deciphering them, saying "Youre doing this wrong, and this isnt working out". So get a better grip on reality, and your mind will allow you to relax. You dont have to fix all of your problems until you start having many lucid dreams, just get a start on them. Let your mind know that you arent playing around anymore, you are going to fix things. Then you will have peace adequate to give leave to your dreaming mind, and you will be able to experiment as you wish.

These are just my own personal findings. Who knows for who else they will work. Give them a try, and tell me about, if any, the successes you have.

I am standing at the bottom of a long concrete staircase, at the top of which is a large building with a golden dome. I am packing my bag to go somewhere while I talk on the phone, next to a bronze statue of a four legged animal. I'm telling the person on the phone that it has just started to snow, even though it's the first day of fall. The trees are bare as though it is winter, and the sky is gray and overcast with a few flakes of snow drifting down slowly.
I put my bag over my shoulder and begin to walk. I'm on a path walking through a wooded area, next to a highway. I hear someone making distressing noises across the road, which is to my right, that are supposed to be some kind of animal call. Every time I think it is some kind of animal and have to remind myself it is only a person imitating an animal. They begin making some kind of guttural rumble, and at that moment the most beautiful horse I have ever seen comes tearing through the woods from my left towards the road, disappearing into some bushes. It is thin and small, black with white spots and moving impossibly fast. i seem to watch it move over and over.
