Thread: Share your dream from last night in one sentence

- Early at night (an hour after falling asleep), after taking B6: Something emotional, about sea and ships and boundaries/a need to defend them against some enemy, it was dark and dramatic but not scary.

After waking up from this, I wasn't even 100% sure it was a dream. My sleep tracker doesn't show any REM there, this could be a mistake, or the REM period was too short to register or it was a REM-like NREM dream or maybe a NREM dream amplified a bit by B6.

- A thought-like dream in the morning. About some woman and some kids.

Again, I wasn't sure it was a dream. No vividity at all. This time the tracker showed REM there.

- A nap in the afternoon. 70 minutes of mostly self-aware NREM. There was a thought-like dream/mentation about my kids and my home. Then I remembered that I don't have kids and live somewhere else. Like snapping out of thoughts that weren't mine and that felt dreamy. I realized that my memory was actually off, even though I felt aware.

I've been fascinated by NREM recently and by the fact that we are probably conscious through most of the night. I've been adding NREM "dreams" to my recall practice, simply asking myself what I was thinking about just before waking up but these thoughts are very fleeting and hard to recall.

Not great recall, but really fun waking evening of champagne and ice cream ...

[earlier]
+ big work meeting, dark large building area with couches, some banal presentation, despite it being a tech company, the talk is of the construction/moving business?

[later]
+ I'm a student in a class, we're parceling out the work assignments, by putting our papers into a pile, we're given a number, then we wait for the paper with our number to come up, mine is #29, but some girl takes it, I complain to teacher that she took my number, can't remember teacher's name, say "teacher" and "Amy" but feel using her first name is inappropriate

+ something more about work

I've been working on this:

1. Practicing relaxation & anchoring techniques to stay conscious into hypnogogic imagery stage.

2. Practicing turning hypnogoic imagery into a full lucid dream.

A being was showing me how different celestial objects light up the world, then Mars turned into an old sleeping man who woke up, had huge googly eyes and said, "I have been sleeping all this time!?" [have been thinking about how Mars is tectonically "sleeping"]

Swimming in the Loxahatchee river, I encounter a strange deadly squid creature... I use a mirror on it and defeat it before it can hurt anyone else. [reflecting on an aspect of my own personality].

Blood, People with burned faces, a guy under hypnosis from some weird computer Alien virus, at one point (who blew up), the scene change, I was now being wheeled down a corridor, on a Hospital gurney that was way too small for me became lucid then uncontrollably grew bigger and bigger into a giant until I was stuck in the corridor.

early forgotten, pretty good mid/later longer vivid-ish dream

[early]
+ some long sequence about a school?

[mid/later]
+ work job, single day contract, I've been here before, "recognize" former coworkers in the large kitchen/lounge, a number of scenes

+ The Queen of England does not let me interrupt her conversation with a man I want to speak with (I didn't realize she was the Queen until she tapped me on the shoulder to get me to back off and I got a better l

A good dreaming night.

- Being on a mini train with my schoolmates from high school, it was some kind of a cinema, the movies were watched from the train, doing loops around the room.
- Playing some kind of RPG, D&D style, with friends
- On some airfield, with my husband and his flying instructor, the instructor told us about some accidents that happened there earlier and we could watch them in real time
- Lucid, practicing flying in mountains and looking at the night sky

Non-lucid: Fell asleep at one point while playing Mario Brothers 3, and apparently, I talked in my sleep in a college dorm about Marshmallows.

One of those fabulous "overflow" dreaming nights -- hard to remember it all, including a long, vivid, epic non-lucid! My first since my return to full-on practice, and a really big motivation boost!

[early]
+ giving a shot to my (fiance?)

[mid]
+ parents (mom) installed a firepit outside the window to my childhood home bedroom: the smoke is entering the room through cracks in the old window pane, conversation with her about the cost, "1 12" she says, I question just what this means

+ [epic, long, vivid] Saga of the neighbor woman: walks by me with her kid as I lie on my lawn, visit her hippy house up the street, hot tub on the roof, conflict, kids chase me and throw pop-tarts, interlude in the courtyard with a massive robotic lego drone that the operator flies into my face, skateboarding in the rain on the corner, hanging out in the pool trying to avoid being seen by the "guards," return to the hippy house where the protagonist (no longer me) has stripped much of the ceilings and walls and is preparing to make an epic "Great Wall of China" mural all throughout the house

[later]

+ feeding the aggressive hamsters in the cage, discover I've had a "bathroom #2" problem in my pants, run to clean it up, avoiding the Audi driver, picking up our clothes strewn around the house as I continue to run to clean up

[waking]

+ I discover that the coal compartment at the back of the train is not fully loaded, a group gathers to discuss this

[waking]

+ arrive to pick up my instrument from the storage locker while the concert is beginning, discussion of the percussion part with the percussionist, rejoin the group, they name me (mispronouncing my last name) as one of the recognized musicians, I go through the curtains to join the other named musicians

Failed WILD from 4 to ~6 hours after bedtime disrupted REM and sleep rhythm, resulting in low awareness, fragmented, short dreams when I finally did manage to get back to sleep (approx ~6 to 8 hours)

+ Playing indoor soccer with another woman against the Queen of England, using a transparent beach ball containing some papers, the other woman is hogging the ball, I get a couple of kicks and finally score a goal

+ My fiance and I are eating some baked goods in the kitchen, I see some more on the counter and reach for it, but she doesn't want me to eat it

+ My cousins are holding a crafts workshop, it's a sort of race building things out of large-sized double-tipped cotton ear swabs on a mini-loom-contraption, I have to use it right-handed so will probably lose

+ [f] I kick a soccer ball, it goes straight, I think about kicking technique and ball angle, I think I made a pretty good shot

+ observing a football play, the offensive quarterback is fumbling/juggling the football, then heads backwards into tall grass to hide [goes into hospital beyond grass?]

+ friend is selling time-limited internet access coupons on the side of the road, there are several foreign customers paying foreign currency, one buys one coupon, another buys a handful, I think this is a surprisingly profitable business

+ inside a room, there is a row of work booths with lower and upper levels, I think there is not much room inside, you can't stand up in them

- Being in an inflatable canoe on water which had "floors" or levels - it was like a river on the lower level and like a lake on the upper level
- Leading some organization (mafia-like but not bad, maybe more like a resistance?), because of our enemy, people keep dying
- LD, but nothing amazing, the beginning was confusing and random, then I tried some control tricks and then tried to summon Aragorn to have sex with him but ended up with Harry Potter instead

A brief lucid - I lost lucidity somewhere and not a lot of recall on the dream. I remember counting my fingers, and telling my dad "My brain isn't working the same right now, but I am lucid."

A tiger shark that when I poked a certain spot, it suddenly got very afraid and inflated /disguised itself, and a giant dinosaur robot submarine commanded by an old man.

Being stuck on a huge armored statue who had his elbows bent and fists by his face, making stairs to escape down into fresh water.

A garage sale, paying for a beautiful green stoned ring I found hidden in some furniture, someone tried to steal my clothes and stuff (caught them), and looking at a steel soldering machine - number 829.

Bedtime too late + too much arguing on FB right before bed + too late dinner = weak recall
At least I slept a pretty solid almost 8 hours.

+ in an exercise room, my son and a woman are able to do really high back bends assisted by some strange force, which I think is only active in one corner of the room, and I try to prove this

Had a vivid DILD.. flew around, phased through a roof to get into a house, looked for the training facility, .. wound up having a conversation with my mom instead.

1. Jianianhualong Tengi simpleton in medieval times getting bullied by velociraptors with medieval soldiers Military attire on.

Late bedtime, champagne and wayyyy too much ice cream before bed -- insomnia from 4am on. Finally nodded off around 7am briefly:

+ playing Tribes, jet-packing around, planning play against human player, then attacking robot defenders of the enemy base, then attacking food with a mini-lightsaber; eating meat on a platter next to a big mountain lion, pull a piece of meat from the paws of the lion (who's very calm/sleeping) and eat it, too.

I am on a roll with 2 more LDs (that's 3 in September and 4 in the last 5 days). But both were low lucidity, low control + hostility from the DCs or the dream (which I encounter to some extent, in the form of obstructions, but not that much as in these two dreams). I wanted to finally start on the TotY but didn't get to it.

Also, mind games: In the second LD, I was sure it was a 3rd LD of the night, but after waking up, I was completely confused. I also remembered some fragments and wasn't able to tell if they were dreams or false memories or just something I thought about earlier, possibly during a HI-like state.

The most interesting NLDs:
- Running, away from someone, saving some small boy, there were large funnels or spiral-shaped slides which we used to quickly get away from our chasers.
- Being in mountains, having some superpower that allowed me to travel over the mountains quickly.
- Living in some apartment block, the grey tomcat from our neighbourhood lived in the next-door flat, they are friends with my cat and there was a corridor with long-haired carpet and in this carpet, there were hiding mice, and the cats were trying to hunt them.

Sprain ankle and puppies.

+ sitting around the table with people in white tuxedos

+ winding through multi-line tight traffic with other cars to the right pushing in front of me, make a right turn and then a quick u-turn to the curb because the light had turned red

+ I see miniature hedgehog-like creatures through the glass door out on the deck, then Chewbacca comes from the right and enters the house, I'm worried he might step on the little guys

+ [vague, fragmented] I'm with my late wife, and she's accusing me of wanting to <foreign slang word for sex> somebody, which I deny

Having a Seizure/procession-type dream. It was unsettling. I think it was a hypnopompic hallucination type deal since it was so close (END OF DREAM) to when I woke up.

In the forest hiding in the back of a truck, a bear climbs up super fast, paw on my chest, it bites my hand, but I manage to protect my daughter... we get away but, have to go back, I forgot my dog.

With a DC who is not quite human, some kind of sea creature person, I am surviving high waves by holding on to the canoe tightly, even when it capsizes.

I see myself as a giant tied up in a cave.

Strange 3D panoramic pictures of other worlds (an African land, a snowy land), as I look at them, I am temporarily there. It was really cool.

+ do not respond to the very obvious advances of an amazingly beautiful waitress/hostess because I remember that I'm engaged; I leave the scene, return to find her to thank her for her kindness, then spend the rest of the dream trying to get her contact information

+ in traffic, get on a bus, I have the bus stop to let on a man, get lucid after this man and another passenger how they had a shared dream: "you're all in MY dream!"

I managed to remember all associations (events, shifts) from this one (25 minutes long):
Millionaires, corruption - their kids inheriting expensive flats - I am in a flat - in an office, helping a girl with a text for a magazine - elsewhere in the office, with the boss - the boss leading a briefing - me thinking about being a YouTuber instead - on a street, narrating a future Youtube video - my cat is there - a car approaches and the cat is hurt - my childhood street, I want my mum, a lot of sadness and anger.

Dream 2: Writing in this thread on DV, then again with the girl (learning her name - Hana), helping her, talking with the boss again.
Dream 3: Action, Hana is held somewhere, rescuing her, she also becomes an action hero.
Dream 4 - probably the same REM period as dream 3 but not related: A bike ride, a stop in a restaurant, meeting my grandad.

1. Taking care of a clone who was sick.


2. A small plane was having engine trouble, when it crashed I tried running away from it (barely missed getting hit), then the dream repeated over again but, this time it was a commercial aircraft instead of a Piper M350 and I couldn't escape that plane crash.

*Vivid* I'm standing on a little island on a lake, with family, when a HUGE TSUNAMI of JUNK comes at us, pushing everything in its wake... then ANOTHER comes, even bigger, we quickly decide its time to evacuate, swimming to a house, then taking a van. Luckily everyone survives.

My ex-husband and I are at a pizza shop, as she makes our pizzas, the owner's wife reminds me that the owner is actually pretty two-faced and if he says the pizza is good, it means something is wrong with it.

People are sick at work, Mr. W (a co-worker) thinks I am sick and tells people, but I'm actually not sick.

At a job fair, the lights are off at first, then a lady is at my table, I eat a muffin which she says "it's okay.. I mean, if you're muffin person," I didn't get the job, but didn't mind as I didn't really want it, and felt it was her loss. [this has to do with the lady coming to observe me at work, I think]

In a hallway, my mother grabs me by the waist and is pushing me, then she acts like I pushed her, I say to the witnesses "I learned a long time ago not to rely on her love. I can't trust her, so what's the point in trying?"
