non-lucid

1/11/15:
I dreamt about a behavior that's been bothering me lately: Choosing to avoid hard work because of the laziness of others. I've been really getting into the self improvement community lately and the idea of removing cognitive biases was on my mind the night before. One of the cognitive biases that especially annoys me is "bandwagon behavior" (doing something because everyone else does it). So I dreamt about hanging out with this girl who's in my Journalism class. She was talking about how she decided not to do an assignment we had for the class. We kinda slowly started doing our own thing. Later on, she was smoking weed and having fun with her guy friend in her car, we were out in the city for some reason. I think a scene change occurred and I didn't really pick up on it. So anyway, the next morning we were in class and I didn't do the assignment. The girl was absent and the teacher got REALLY mad at me and started humiliating me in front of the class.

I dreamt about trying to kiss a female friend of mine while waiting in line to get food at lunch, I don't remember the outcome but I remember not being able to get food for some reason.

Pretty blurry, vague, and bland dreams but I just started journaling again, and the fact that I'm having recall so fast is rather exciting. My nutrition is better and I sleep better too, lately, so I think that's why.

First off, I wanna say that after two weeks, I can pretty confidently say that not fapping can greatly improve vividness and complexity of dreams!

Dream one, was waiting for the bus to school, it was abnormally bright, and I start talking to this guy who works in chicago but lives in the suburbs. And he was smoking a brier(a specific kind of pipe, that I probably dreamt about because it was in one of the stories I recently read in school). So he got on some random yellow bus that said something about Chicago, I believe that I just forgot about my own body and started just seeing the dream from his perspective. He had brown short hair, a snazzy tux, and come to think of it, looked a little like "Harvey" from "Suits". So yeah not much else happened, just went to chicago and the dream faded.

Then I had another dream about being at a golf course, everyone was smoking weed out of the briers (has no connection to me, never done any drugs before) but none of them actually seemed high. So they were all laying down on golf carts that weren't touching the ground, kinda looked like starwars speeders. So apparently these guys got the pipes from these notebooks that the golf course interns gave them. And there were tees in there too... So tons of nonsensical and I picked up on none of it. :/ But still was fun. Can't remember much else from that dream.

I'm in the UK and I'm doing business in some stone walled house, antiques everywhere, a golden chalice over the fireplace. I don't remember what business I was doing.
Later in that dream I start playing with the local kids, then I stand on top of some weird elevated boulevard.

After that (I think) I went to go to a Three Days Grace concert (used to be my favorite band) and before it started, I was standing near that boulevard and talking to the band members. I saw nothing strange about this, or the fact that the drummer was using a guitar hero set. When I went to the concert with my friends, the performance room was tiny. There was maybe 300-500 people there. Then I noticed there were other bands playing right next door. My friends who went with me loved it but I was kinda bored. The redeeming trait in this dream is that I finally experienced some music in my dream, though it was nothing extraordinary. Still cool since I don't remember ever dreaming about music.

I start out in a garage, in an unfamiliar car and neighborhood. There's some random people in the car, which is sort of minivan-ish, but has three rows of seats. A middle aged soccer mom -ish character is noticed in the front seat. She tells this about 22 year old guy that he's going to have to buckle his seat belt this time. We start moving, there's some random people filling all the seats, and I start texting someone from high school on my iPod chromatic..? We went to some bakery and bought poison muffins.

Dream about a team of teenagers building a wall of sand at the beach.

Short dream about black grenades shaped like pokeballs that have a little clicker button instead of a pin. I was randomly throwing it around a room and it was randomly coming back.

Start out in the middle of target, (think I've had a dream about buying videogames at target before) and my dad and I just fill our cart with random obscure and formless items. Then I go over to the shoes section and put some American Eagle socks in the cart.

Obscure dream about an aircraft carrier type ship that covered about 3/4 of the atlantic ocean. I think it was intended to be some giant artificial country.

I was at the headquarters of some giant company, looked like the designs for the new Apple HQ, I was doing some sort of volunteer work. At some point I got hired. I remember a theme of suspicion. Someone was up to something evil there, and the whole dream I was just sort of snooping around.

This one is sort of vague, but I had a dream that I was Neal Caffrey from White Collar and I stole a freight train somehow. Peter was suspicious of me the whole time.

Two weird short dreams...

Dream one, I appear in my kitchen. Go out to the garage, get my skateboard, open the garage door, skate down the street (I believe it was around 9am) and I see some of my friends skateboarding in circles for like 15 seconds straight each, so I start imitating them. Can't remember anything else.

Dream two, I'm in bed, I get up. I also appear to go to the kitchen, talk to my parents for a while, they tell me that they made , Kurabiedes a Greek Christmas sweet, and I find them in the freezer, covered in frosting (which I have never seen before)

Just some random room, I start walking around, go outside, and see some familiar faces. I start talking, but I don't remember the conversations.

I remember a dream about being at a golf club in Arlington Heights. There was a beach somewhere on the right, didn't really fit in with the scene. I had my caddy gear on, and a golfer asked me to help him with something in about 30 minutes. I went and sat down on a log with a few other people. I leave after a while. I go to some really creepy underground place, but I'm not scared. I walk down an alley, and I see someone sitting on the floor bleeding. I buy a really good electric guitar and acoustic guitar for only 50 bucks each. I make a mental note of how good a deal it is. I get both of them at target, put them both in some little shopping cart (not sure how that works) and I notice my mom was standing next to me the whole time. Later on, I talk to two guitarists, and play some random guitar in a shop. I think it was a guitar center. There was more, but it's so confusing and mish-moshed.

I got an emulator for pokemon sapphire and went straight to a gym to beat the gym leader. All her pokemon were twice my level but I still beat all of them somehow.

Decent recall today compared to the last few days.

First dream, (actually this one was a pretty bad recall, but it was one of the shorter rem cycles, so oh well). I'm sitting on my porch, in a southern town with a dirt road. All the houses are unpainted and made entirely out of wood. I look across the street, and I talk to an old man. At some point I think I try to sell him some house, but that's not important. He looked kind of like a wizard. Long beard, and no southern accent. I vaguely remember something about him doing magic, but this dream is pretty vague. What I remember right now is still sitting on my porch, watching him walk inside a building and seeing a flash of light.

Second dream, I'm at a water park, with some unfimiliar faces, and then my friend and his sister. This water park was absolutely enormous. I think we were a thousand feet off the ground, and could have easily fallen, but it didn't seem to bother me or anyone else in the dream. So after wading in this horizontal water slide that was so slow you could walk in it, I noticed that I had my phone in my pocket. I took it out, and it still seemed to work, but I decided that I need to put it in a bag of rice when I get home, and everyone else agreed. Soon after that the dream faded.

Third dream, some people whose faces I only vaguely remember, I don't think any of my friends were there. We were all sitting in bean bag chairs and had our elbows on a round table. The place felt like a library study room or something, but the feel of the dream didn't hint towards that. There were lots of girls talking and joking around, and I sort of lost interest after a while and started talking to this kid named Dan. Then he says something about his sister liking him, because she was polite to him. So according to my dream mind, "thank you" means "I want to go out with you", which is really creepy. So we get off that topic at some point, and then he talks for a while about his parents being divorced. After that I lose interest and the dream fades.

This dream is a weird one.

I start off departing a flying saucer with a group of aliens. One of them is my father I think. All the aliens are white and sort of egg shaped, but still have facial features and limbs. We go to some area that's invisible to humans. There's a glass wall where we can see humans walking by. This area looks like a giant living room, and there's a bunch of random furniture that's all facing the same direction. Some aliens are hiding behind this furniture. Humans continue to walk by, and a slightly chubby little boy looks right at me, and he sees me some how. He starts freaking out, and I don't remember what we do with him.

Then my memory fast forwards me to the living room in my house. I'm with an alien that I think is my father. There are humans coming into the house, and we hide inside a cupboard that doesn't exist in waking life. The last thing I remember is trying really hard to squeeze in there, and feeling proud of myself and very safe once I do. My alarm went off and I didn't get a chance to finish the dream.
