Thread: Share your dream from last night in one sentence

We were boarding an Asian girl at our house since this school year started, and I went to say her name, but I forgot, then my wife jumped in to save me by saying, "Alannah, look at what I'm making!", and I thought maybe I should pay more attention to what's going on around me.

1. I am driving in a car with my wife, she is concerned over a behavior I am unaware that I am engaging in; she looks at me with disappointed expression and says "come on, we are going to the doctor."

2. fragment: I have to pee and find a deep, very wide well in a a room of in a nice home, the well fills periodically with seawater and is encrusted with disgusting toilet remnants and barnacles, I do my business.

3. Fragment: A co-worker gives me some work materials.

I was helping in the kitchen at my college's dining hall, but I was messing up everything by spilling plates and such.

I was going around my high school, taking pictures for the title pages of different chapters of a DV-related textbook.

I was lucid but don't remember most of the dream, just stabilizing and asking a girl for a favor...

I had a FA where I was about to jot down a dream, but my lights were acting weird; then I discovered it was because I had somehow accidentally connected two dimmer switches together.

Another FA-type dream where I went to the bathroom in my childhood house and became lucid, so I left, successfully remembered a couple of facts about my WL and unsuccessfully attempted to use telekinesis on objects/my cat (it worked last time… ).

My younger brother was making some kind of U.S./North America map, and we were giving states/countries amusing names; I suggested calling Texas “The Rest of the World” (since, you know, we US folks have no knowledge of geography outside our own country ), and my brother called the US “The United States of Aspirins” (it was funnier during the dream).

(Tried to go back to sleep to try for a second LD but couldn't, though I had a hypnagogic dreamlet of doing an RC and becoming “lucid” only to realize I wasn't actually asleep )

In a crowded washroom, and I suddenly find my self face down in the urinal, picking at dirt with my finger nail, then somebody comes up beside me asking what I'm doing, and I reply, "oh sorry, I must have been daydreaming", then a small shower head appears and sprays water down on a baby sitting in the urinal, and then the dream figures says, "Looks like a Dali!", and I go, "Huh?", and he reply's , "Yeah, a Dali Salvador". (I can't believe this didn't make me lucid!)

early:

+ scary motel room, potential intruder outside, I have no voice, beautiful flowers on table

+(f) son S1 is sliding skillfully down diagonal ramps on his feet inside some alien ship location

+ crazy racquetball: I have bread/coffee cake for a racquet, discussion of long/short lines, discussion of difference vs. squash court, they're not listening

+ rare breed dog gets tangled with its leash between two trees, cute girl owner

later:

1. Standing in a room with administrator from work I say in an impossibly deep, reverb laden voice "Make me a fucking martini lackey!" (this is one of my favorite dream quotes ever)

2. I am on my childhood home, it is filled with sleeping couples, a brunette climbs into bed with me then one of my daughters gets all wound up and wakes up one of my principle buddhist teachers, who is laughing and mumbling. (successful incubation)

3. I am riding in the backseat of a car with my wife, we stop to pull some tree branch into the car but it is too short; I notice many small insects on my legs and brush them off.

4. I am at a buddhist teaching and see a line of monks exit the building, I go off to find my teacher, Khenpo Samdup to tell him and also to find a dharma book that "is not just a bunch of meditation instructions".

some fragments: trying on band t-shirts, including a white bad brains shirt, & running across a lawn while it is being mowed.

massive night, multiple waking each with recall (though fragmented later), final (late) waking beyond my ability to remember beyond fragments, one short DILD.

Helping my son apply for a University scholarship (again), and we get paid $20 just for applying (Yesssss!), and then we start to joke around by saying we should of applied for this one first, and been done with it, cause this all we're going to get!

I am in a mall and suspicious of this incredibly whiny and annoying teen, I come to find out he is a "scout" and decoy for an impending assault; I leave and then re-enter the building, see the assault team preparing machine guns and body armor in a jewelry store.

Danny's head got partially decapitated when the killer mistook him for someone else, and on the way back from the hospital, Danny decided to go to work anyway.

“4444-00-0” was the current date according to my laptop.

early:

+ daredevils driving at high speed on skateboards & couches fast on windy roads, "try that [foot maneuver] on a skateboard!"

+ driving & walking around town (small town, suburban/urban mix, tree-lined streets), trying to find my way back to the car

+(f) "my back is killing me!"

I stayed up too long which interfered a lot with dream recall. Really disappointing because I had some good day residue material that day.

First-person perspective view of a dream a boy had back in the black/white segregation/discrimination days, except it was whites (the boy) being treated poorly by blacks instead of vice-versa

False-/semi-lucid where I was trying to “measure time in a dream” somehow by timing a song playing on a CD player (yet I was trying to hurry because it was time for bed and I didn't want to stay up long)

I was staying in a hotel/motel, went down the hall to a public restroom, struggled with the door lock and wondered why I didn't just use the private bathroom in my own room.

Trying out some kind of multitasking/multithreading library someone wrote as an MS Word document macro (even though I don't even use Word); I needed it for some kind of task or project that I don't remember

Really weird kinky shit with Romeo while DVers watch and cheered.

Flying on two helium filled cylindrical balloons (10 feet diameter x 100 feet long), one red and one blue, and they were tied together at the middle (lengthwise) by a heavy 3 foot long cord, and the entire surface of the balloons were covered in climbing nylon loops, so you crawl around on the balloon as they bumped, twirled, thumped, spun around, and swayed, all while way up in the sky, with another dream figure, and it was very extreme, and interactive as you climbed around on them, and they were also ballasted at one end so then generally flew vertical, but they could rotate horizontal, and even upside down (had to be there to appreciate). non lucid

A real "fist-pumping" ("Yes!") night, finally.

earlier:

+ restaurant: piles of ravioli, pop a frozen meatball into my mouth, spit it out as it thaws

+ amnesia girlfriend letter, we can start anew, move away

+ chinese restaurant counter: order rice several times, cancel them all, then they all arrive, chef offers sparzha-like thing on chopsticks, says "Jung Jie!"

+ shoot-out with seizure-faking, freeloading partner who wants to steal my wealth, both guns unloaded, the team gets back together and (runs along rooftops?)

+(f) I'm putting my prized bicycle pump into the shopping cart, "it's a great pump," I hope I get it back

+ travel past street of childhood home, point it out to friends, continue through neighborhood becoming increasingly bizarre (property borders extended into streets), the streets become slick steep colored stone ("You can't even ride a bicycles on that!" I exclaim), the environment becomes psychedelic, acid-trippy shapes and colors, fairy-tale surroundings in wacky colors, mushroom statue, scarab temple, explode the scarab priest with my power. I'm astounded at the environment. [This is why I recall dreams, wow.]

mid-late:

+ observing house down the hill below childhood home backyard which I can fully see into: pet escaped/not fed, woman with mascara

+ flight full at airport counter, "But I'm on a business trip!", agent tries to modify ticket so I can get on

late:

+ (lucid #98) planning some "personal activities," door's open, close door at top of stairs, childhood home, there is no door there, get lucid, downstairs, enjoy the sights, affirm body in bed/waking world/dream-fantasy, take off blurring glasses, go to next room, super bright ultra HD, counter of clerks, tell the girls to come to me, all ignore me, I go back and "firmly encourage" one to engage, feels great, wake up in a few seconds

Went to the movies last night to see Jupiter Ascending, and had a nightmare, where I was torturing an alien; well so much for not having a violent dreams.

Frag-o-mania: tons of fragments, sleeping longer does not always result in better dreams!

earlier:

+ the military warships side-swipe the back of our ship: on the deck, it plunges into the water and I'm lost, I come to and fill in my name on a list to call the parents that we were found

+ kid vs kid team war battle: helicopters can't fly, enemy base near friendly, play "hot potato" up close with a grenade vs. enemy, covered in gas, kid tries to eat cookie

+ girl comes to the dancing guy, she chose him, house of 4 guys give her the rules for the night, pee soaks roll of TP, search out fresh roll walking through rooms, naked, find pants; floor echoes (there's a room below), view of a hill with a hole [DS], "don't let kids play there unsupervised"

+(f) the kid won some peace prize ("let the people follow their hopes?") he sets up in a cabinet/kiosk.

later:

+(f) filling out / reading some form, on it among other wording is written "lucid dreaming" (argh!)

+ walking to band room, piano music playing, the band teacher knows the girl, "of course, in A. high school everyone knows everyone, I went to B. high school, where nobody knew anybody".

[how could she fall for that?], I see the top of her head she's getting gray hairs [from this conflict]

+(f) "The month of August must be spent making up for poor performance," the leader of the team will be held accountable, he may be fired, but he was the reason for the team's intensity.

I should post here more often again.

Today I had a fairly weird and messed up dream about Metroid, it involved the power and the plasma beam from Prime 3, but despite some acceptable level of detail, I can't puzzle it into any real order.

I lost the underlying narrative upon awakening so this doesn't make much sense, but I had invited some people into a “house” or shed in the backyard of a previous house, saying I had done “nothing special” here; later someone pointed out what was presumably a UFO, but my view of the sky was blocked by nearby objects, and I woke up.

Went in the bathroom, saw that the overhead light fixture (which doesn't exist IRL) was changed to one barely brighter than a nightlight, and spent the rest of the dream trying to get the over-sink lights back on (there were a half-dozen switches, which did either nothing or turned on an exhaust fan/heater which also didn't exist)—usually this stuff makes me lucid, not sure what went wrong here.

Someone asked on a forum if it was possible to control an NES game console in WL from a dream, and the answer was no, because (of all explanations) of something to do with bank switching of the cartridge memory (which continued into a technical hardware/programming discussion).

I was testing a change to a chatterbot program I wrote but getting confused by the results because I was interactively calling methods in ways I didn't design them to be used.

I was reading a book but had trouble when the text ran into an illustration, as if I couldn't tell where the text ended and the picture began (or some objects in the picture were supposed to stand in for words in the text, or something similarly confusing).

Impossible skateboarding is one of my pretty reliable dreamsigns. About once every 40 days or so I have a dream with some gravity/physics defying skating in it. Residue from my youth.

1. I am at a Dharma teaching being given by Ontul Rinpoche, and am in a line to receive blessings and make offerings; I have forgotten the traditional offering scarf and ask to borrow one from my brother, who ignores me.
