non-lucid

Dream 1:

I was traveling somewhere with Jeff and Tito. We had stopped at a large motel. We had parked around on the back side. We had to walk up a little hill to get to the building. As we walked my feet got caught in all the burrs in the weeds on the hill. It was like velcro. I could barely walk. But I somehow managed to yank my feet up and make it to the motel. I also felt this awful dark feeling. I felt something was wrong and that something bad would happen.

I think we talked to someone in the motel (this part is fuzzy). We had these little toy things that could transform when you took them to this special place. This motel had one of this places. We got two of the toys transformed, but then I said that I felt we needed to leave. The guys also felt this. So we walked back down the hill where our feet kept getting stuck.

As we were almost to the car I could see that this creepy guy was following us. We ran to the car, but the creepy guy was able to jump inside the car. Jeff took off driving down the street. The door on the creepy guys side wasn't shut. I reached around and kicked at him with my feet. I told Tito to also kick at him since he was next time him. We finally kicked him out of the car. I look back and saw his body flying arcross the road and hitting a light pole. I wondered if he had survived. I asked the guys if they thought we needed to call the police and tell them what happened. I was worried that we would be reported by the bystanders who didn't know the situation.

And that's all I remember.

Dream 2:

I was at this resort at the base of this mountain. I knew that there were some amazing hikes that started right behind the resort. I wasn't prepared for a big hike, but I wanted to hike just a little of the trail and then head back. I followed this girl. She had a little trouble getting up this really steep part. I felt a little proud that I got up it with no problem. I followed her for about a half mile or so. She stopped to change a shirt. I stopped and talked to her. I asked what her plans were. She told me that she would hike til dark, then make camp. I looked at saw that her backpack was tiny. There was no way she had a tent or sleeping bag or any camping gear of any kind I that pack. I told her that it woud be getting really cold, but she didn't seem to be worried. I didn't know if I should try to talk her out of it or not. I didn't want her to freeze to death. But she seemed so confident that I let her go on while I turned aruond and went back.

Dream:

I dreamed that I was standing in my old living room. Suddenly my sister Susan came in. She looked like she did when we were in college. I went to her and hugged and hugged her, and she hugged me back. I started sobbing. I had missed her so much. I knew that I was the only one in the room that could see her. Part of me wondered what anyone else would think if they saw me . But I didn't care and I kept hugging her.


This was a very emotional dream. Just writing this is making me cry again.

I remember having this little dream as I was waking up. I was looking in this plastic container for something. It was mostly opaque, but the sun was shining on the side of it and making the inside light up some. There was a little dirt in the bottom. I leaned closer so I could see what else was in it. Suddenly I saw a big black widow right there. It startled me and I woke up.

Dream:

I was hiking with a group of people through this narrow wavy slot canyon. It wasn't very tall, and it seemed to be located in a much larger canyon. I went back and forth through this slot canyon several times.

It reminded me a little of this canyon:





There was much more to this dream, but this is the part I remember.

Dream:

I had just bought a fish tank. I had wanted to get a big tank and have lots of smaller fish in it this time. Last time I ended up with one really giant fish, so I wanted a change. But the tank I got had fish already in it. And as I looked I saw that two were actually pretty big. Then I recognised the kind of fish they were. These each had the potential of growing 18+ inches. They would eat the rest of the little fish and I would be stuck with only two huge fish.


This dream reflects some real life events, like buying a big tank for a variety of small fish because I don't want another huge fish.

Dream:

It was a the end of a longer dream, but I don't remember much before this part.

I had been talking to an older lady about our writing. She had this goal to write these scientific articles. She was telling me that one day we would reach these goals and receive the title "Military Writers".

Then she kissed me on the cheek and said goodnight.

I was in a room that wasn't mine. I was visiting someone. My bed was under a window. My CD player was on the window sill. The music on the CD had ended and it was making sounds like water splashing.

My mom was suddenly in the room, in a bed against the far wall. I commented to her about the water sounds. I told her that they sounded real. I looked at the window. It was open. I had this sudden horrible fear that the sound was coming from right outside my window. And-oh my gosh-we were in Bigfoot country.

I knew that there was a bigfoot right outside of my window. I was terrified, but curiosity made me creep closer and closer to the window so I could look out. There was nothing immediately in front of the window, so I pressed my face against the screen so I could look to the side.

Sure enough, there was a dark figure about five feet to the right up near the house squatting down splashing its/his hand in the water puddled by the house. Suddenly the figure sees me and stands. I'm surprised to see that it's not a bigfoot at all but a man in a while t-shirt and dark jeans with a belt. Knowing he's been spotted he gets up and runs away.

This whole scene startles me enough to wake me up with a start.

Dreams:

I was transplanting this pretty plant that has long hanging blue and pink flowers. At first I thought I planted it in a hanging pot. But as I looked at it later it was in a large flat bowl that looked like a mini-pond. It was very cool looking.

Dream 2:

My radio alarm in real life was playing "Dust in the Wind" but I was dreaming that I was talking to people I knew that wrote that song and were playing it to me.

I had baby dreams last night. I don't remember details--just that I had a baby girl and was excited to be doing stuff with her. But at one point there was an older toddler boy.

Yesterday's dreams:

I had climbed to the top of this huge cliff/mountain. I was alone and I got tired so I fell asleep on this little ledge next to the highest steepest part of the cliff. I "woke up" and saw where I was and freaked out. I was so scared that I couldn't move. I noticed my cat was now with me sleeping by my head (as she was in real life). I noticed she was right my the edge. I was a little worried for her. I didn't want her to fall. But I knew cats were pretty sure footed, so I started worrying about me again. I had no idea how I was going to get off this cliff when I was so terrified I couldn't move. So I just laid there.

Finally this man comes to me. He looked about 45 or 50 years old and Mexican, but spoke with an American accent. He told me his name was Journel. He was very calm and confindent. He convinced me to take his hand and stand up. Once I was up I started getting my confidence back, and I knew I would be able to make it down the montain.

Dream 2:

I was excited to start this long hike. It was something I had wanted to do for a long time. I had gotten all this stuff ready for it. It seems like there were things distracting me from getting started, but finally I was off. But when I looked at my watch it was 4:00 in the afternoon. I had wanted to leave by 6:00 in the morning because this was going to take about 12 hours. But I decided that I was just going to go anyway. I was with Susan at this point, and Carl, I think.

Dream 3:

Another bad bathroom dream.

I was in a large group of people. I think it was by a mall of sorts. I needed to go to the bathroom. I wanted to go in the mall to my sister's Salon. I had to wait in a line to get into the mall. And then I found that I had to have some kind of pass to get in. But I convinced the lady that I knew the person in the Salon.

When I got to the restrooms I was that they were really just four toilets sitting out at the side of the store. There was a curtain that was supposed to pull across all four. I watied until there was a spot open and sat on the toilet. I couldn't get the curtain to pull across. I looked out and saw that the store was full of guys. I felt really embarrassed. But no one was paying too much attention to those of us on the toilets, so I finally just went.

Dream Fragment:

I was in what was supposed to be my kitchen. I saw these lizards. I thought that I needed to get them out of the house. But them I saw that they ran over to a place under the sink where there was an anthill. They started eating the ants. Then I saw some ducklings there also eating the ants. I then realized that it was a good thing to have them in the house. I heard a funny rhythmic sound and saw that the ducklings were stamping their feet in unison to get the ants to come out of the anthill so they could eat them.


Very odd.

From yesterday:

Dream 2:

Very long and too many different parts. The theme was traveling. I was always on the go trying to get somewhere. I was traveling with different people at different times or sometimes along. I don't even remember the order of the scenes that I remember.

I was driving a car that had these strange handlebars (like a bike) they were very wiggly and I felt I had terrible control of the car. I felt like I was in Southern Arizona somewhere between Tucson and Phoenix and I was heading North. I kept going down the wrong roads and having to turn around.

Later I was in a gas station with Tanya and Marie. I was holding a bowl and a spoon. I took it in the little store, but worried that they would think that I stole it. At some point I was crying. The lady behind the register tried to make me feel better.

I was in a restaurant with several friends. We ordered this big meals.

I was in another little store with my mom. We needed transportation. A lady gave us these tricycles. We started to ride them. I saw how slow we were going. I knew that we would never get to our destination in time. I knew that my mom couldn't make it at all. Her handlebars were cracking off. And then both of mine broke.

I looked at the side ofthe road and was fascinated by these strange animals. At first I thought they were a kind of pig. But then saw that they we more rat-like. But they had wooly hair like a sheep. One was trangled up in some string. I tried to help it, but it tried to bite me.

I was walking through this town. I was alone and walked up this hill and saw a Mine. I walked closer and saw a man at the entrance. He started to talk to me, but I had this creepy feeling and wasn't sure if I could trust him. So I jumped down the hill. I remember thinking, "I'll bet this will surprise him. I'll bet he has never seen anyone jump down this big hill in just one jump before." I enjoyed the feeling of floating down the bottom. I knew there was something significant about being able to do that.

From Yesterday:

Last Night's Dreams:

Dream 1:

I suddenly was visiting my high school marching band. It felt like I hadn't seen them in years. But as I looked there was Ed, and Geoff and Kelly. I could see that they were all lined up for a competition. Some of the members saw me and we started talking. There was suddenly a map on the wall next to us. I started teaching them the "States Song" but for some reason all I could remember was the "Countries of Africa Song". Several time I started, but had trouble. Then suddenly I realized that half the band was gone. The competition had started with only half the band. I looked out and could see them on this big stage. I told the other members that we had to somehow sneak out there without it being too obvious that we were late. I tried to follow Kelly, but she ended up further ahead and I was behind the percussion. I slowly worked my way over towards her. I wondered if it was obvious that I had no idea where I was going or what I was doing. Suddenly the band started doing this whole part in sign language. I fantically looked around and tired to copy the people around me. I hoped I wouldn't be responsible for the band receiving a low score when it was judged.


Oh what a typical "unprepared" dream. I got to tell my friend Ed about it this morning and he got a good laugh too. So it was worth the temporary agony.

Reading something here on DV triggered a dream memory from about a week and a half ago. I had this dream while I was traveling so I didn't record it like I should have. But it is significant because I died four times in the dream. I have died before in dreams--but not four times in a single dream. Let's see what I can remember of it.

I remember I was being chased by zombies. I remember running into a pool of water to escape from a horrible zombie death. But the zombies were coming and I had to put my head under the water. I held my breath. I could see shadows of the zombies near the pool. I knew I was going to die one way or the other. I chose death by drowning. I could feel myself getting lightheaded, dizzy, and then finally blacking out.

Then I was on the run again--as another person, I think. I was with someone else, and together we ran as fast as we could trying to get away. But, unfortunately we rounded a corner and ran smack into a group of zombies. I was suddenly surrounded by zombies. They crowded around me. I could feel one grab my head. I felt a slightly painful jerk....and I knew I had died.

Then I became the other person I was with. The zombies grabbed hold of me. I wished for another quick death. But I didn't get my wish this time. I was lifted so I was horizontal. Then several zombies started taking bites out of my legs. It was horrible and painful. How long would it take to die this way? I panicked. I couldn't take this any longer. I willed myself to die. And suddenly I was dead.

At this point I no longer remember the fourth death. I only remember that there was one.

Dream:

I was running down my street toward the airport. I noticed that I seemed light as a feather. My feet barely touched the ground as I ran and ran. I knew that I could run for miles and not get tired. I wasn't even having to breathe hard.

I looked down at my feet. I was wearing my Vibrams. Of course. It was the shoes. I knew there was a reason I loved these shoes so much.

I had one of those dreams where lucid dreaming was on my mind, but not enough to actually make me go lucid. Rrrrr. But as much as I get frustrated at myself for completely missing the obvious, I have to at least be happy that the idea of lucid dreaming made it into the dream. The more that happens the more I will have lucid dreams.

Dream 1:

I was on The Biggest Loser show (I think this is because I have been traveling and eating bad and I have been telling myself that as soon as I get home I need to eat really healthy). I started making friends with this Korean guy that was also a contestant. At one point we were in this big room and I started flying and floating up toward the ceiling. The Korean guy started floating too.

I said, "Wow--you must be a lucid dreamer too!" And he nods his head.

Then I started telling him about all the things that I can do in a lucid dream. I told him about the tornado that I did in my last LD. I pointed to the ground and said, "If this were my LD I would make a tornado from on that very spot." And I made this little brown spot appear on the floor. I even half -heartedly tried to make a tornado, but nothing appeared.

I also remember asking him if he did WBTBs, which I think he said that he did occasionally.

Then I floated all the way to the top and rested on the ceiling (like I like to do in dreams--lucid or not).


Dream 2:

I was watching TV. I saw that Blink182 was about to come on. They were playing live for some TV show. I saw that they were dressed like the Beatles. They started singing. It was an interesting song that I had never heard that was a good cross between a Blink song and Beatles song. I liked it. Then Tom and Mark turned around and I could see that their pants had the back cut out, and I could see their butts. I remember thinking, "Oh brother, do they always have to do something dumb like that?"
