Friday/November/4/2022

I slept about four hours but woke a little before my alarm was set to go off from a very vivid dream that was like a combination "Aliens" and "Walking Dead" apocalypse.

I'm with a troop of militia military types such as in "Aliens." New to our group to take over command is a powerful soldier woman such as Sigourney  Weaver. This powerful seemingly all knowing commander comes in and is taking over control of building our fortress/facility in the apocalyptic world of "The walking Dead."

Probably the strangest part about the dream is that I believed I was in the first episode of a TV show that I've already seen but I was wholly involved in it. It is not something I'm watching on the screen. I also believed that  I had the ability to influence events and change upcoming episodes through my interactions. And that if I didn't like how events were playing out I could just replay it from the beginning make different decisions and different interactions to change the direction of events.

It was dream I thoroughly enjoyed. Even the beginnings of a romance between myself and the only other female character besides the Sigourney Weaver Character.

The only actual action moment is when the Sigourney Weaver commander and myself go outside of our facility fortress we are building for a little bit to take in the sight of the most beautiful scenery of a nearby meadow and surrounding mountains with a beautifully star lit sky. In the sky one of the stars is moving more like a vehicle and we think it could be an alien ship. But we forget about that when we are awed by the appearance of a huge long necked dinosaur that is meandering along a trail of the wide meadow. The dinosaur sees us and begins to charge after us but no worries to us as we are still close enough to our fortress to run back inside to safety before the dinosaur can catch us. And the two of us are laughing as we make a break to safety and the dinosaur is left frustrated outside the walls unable to get to us. 

I would have liked to write it all out in better detail but I'm very short on time.

Trip To The Mall/Tentative Parkour

A long dream that begins with me being at an auto shop getting an oil change for my car which is something I need to do in waking reality some time in the near future.

The auto shop in my dream is very near to a mall so after events at the shop I decide to go to the mall. There is a lot of people the mall is very crowded and I spend a little bit of time in an arcade that is packed with too many people to actually have fun at so I leave the arcade.

I end up finding a dairy queen and decide to get a treat. I first think of getting a simple ice cream cone but then decide I'll splurge on my favorite coffee ice cream drink.

After walking away with my drink in hand I realize that I somehow got the cone as well even though I don't remember purchasing the cone. So I'm walking around with my drink in one hand and my cone in the other.

I remember how much I love parkouring through malls and I begin thinking about that. I feel like there is just too many people here right now to get a good free running parkour going. Not to mention that my hands are full with my dairy queen treats.

However my fondness for parkour persists in my thoughts as I look around at all the fun obstacles I could run and jump upon. I soon begin some tentative parkour while still carrying my treats in both hands. Looking around for security and don't see any I leap up onto a simple railing and slide along the railing like someone doing a rail grind on at a skate park.

Coming to the end of the railing I see a group of escalators lined up side by side. I leap from the end of the railing to the moving escalator railings and jumping across the gaps of the escalator stairs which leads to more platforms, railings, and random things to run a long and jump across.

I'm being very careful and tentative the entire time not wanting to spill my treats. I have some near lucidity when on a couple of occasions I need to jump some extra wide gaps and I note that familiar dream airborne feeling before coming down on my targeted landing spot.

I begin getting a strong urge to take things further and start doing flips through the air across the gaps but I manage self control and hold myself back from getting all out of control and spilling my treats.

I eventually come to an area that has rows of seats like for viewing some performance set to begin in the middle of the mall. I begin running across the backs of the seats. One of the seat backs folds down on me as I land on it with my foot but I manage to continue on without much of any pause.

Once across all the seats I simply land on my feet in the middle of a crowd with my treats still in hand. I look around to see if security has noticed me getting a bit crazy running and jumping across everything but I don't see any security and no one seems to mind my antics.

I then wake and decide to get up for the day.

-There was a weird earlier dream that I don't know how to describe that involved a ghostly apparition. The apparition I eventually find out is the ghost of Hitler. Then very oddly after waking for the day and turning on my computer and opening my youtube page I get some random pop up recommendations for videos about Hitler which I do not watch.

Wednesday/November/2/2022

-I have a run in with a large wolf that is very playful and friendly. After a while the wolf transforms into a person and I believe them to be a werewolf. After a little while of hanging out with this werewolf person I begin to wonder if I can convince them to bite me and and make me a werewolf too because I think that having the ability to transform into a wolf would be a wonderful thing.

Talking Polar Bear

Lots of bears. Very vivid.

There is more to the dream previous to this but I'm going to start it here.

Well, previously in the dream I had been walking out in the snowy mountains of what I believed to be Alaska and I ran into bears and there was quite a bit of bear stuff. But I eventually make it back to where I began the dream.

But then I'm getting ready for a flight in one of those little bush planes as a passenger. I'm sitting to the right of the pilot as he fires up the engine. I notice the engine has an odd sound to it. Kind of a high pitched whining sound. It just doesn't sound right.

The pilot seems to not mind as if the odd sound is no issue and I trust in his judgement for the most part but I still have the feeling I might be about to become another statistic of people dying in small bush plane crashes in the wilderness.

We take off and my instincts are apparently true as the little plane begins to have trouble maintaining altitude. The pilot tries to gain more speed as he is attempting to keep the plane in the air.

We are above a body of water just barely skimming across the surface and in danger of either going into the water or smashing into trees or the side of a mountain.

Somehow the pilot manages to safely land the plane along the shore of the water. We get out of the plane ready for a long hike through the mountainous wilderness. After a bit of walking along the waterway I realize that I have forgotten my jacket in the plane and head back to get it.

On the way back to the plane we come upon an injured bear cub laying on the ground. Realizing that our scent is all over the place here we believe that the mother bear may smell us and believe that we are the ones that caused  her young cub harm and will come after us. 

Sure enough before reaching the plane mama bear comes charging out of nowhere, a huge grizzly. But she is not alone there are more bears. I do everything I know of to try and ward the bears off. Shouting and screaming at them while waving my arms. I even punch a bear in the face that gets too close. My antics only cause the bears to back off a little but then they keep coming for us.

Then there is a lot of running and trying to dodge the bears. I attempt to keep trees between myself and the deadly jaws of of the bears. At some point I find this wooden structure, like a platform atop poles/round stilts. I climb up making for the platform even though I'm aware that bears can climb better than I can and I know it's little in the way of safety but it seems the only option.

Once I make it to the platform I see a very large polar bear come out of the forest. The polar bear actually seems kind of friendly as it stands on two hind legs to it's full height and begins talking. The polar bear tells me in a friendly tone that I should not be climbing on this structure and I should get down from it because the structure is old and rickety and not safe to be on. I wonder if the polar bear is just trying to trick me into coming down so that all the bears can get me.

Then I wake from the dream thinking wow a talking bear. Then later in the day when I'm out and about I see a man wearing a really nice Alaska shirt with lots of wildlife depicted on the shirt. I say to the man that's a cool shirt and that I actually had a dream last night about being in Alaska. I describe to the man how I was in one of those little planes when we crash in the wilderness and get chased around by bears. He says to me wow that sounds like a pretty scary dream. I say to him that it wasn't really that scary and that I've had a lot scarier bear dreams.

Then thinking about it seems that it probably should have been pretty scary but even though I was doing my best to avoid the bears I was never in a point of much fear. But I should have remembered bears are a dreamsign especially a bear that can talk.

After having a really horseshit day Sunday kind of put off being in the mood to write anything but wanted to get this down.

Lucid Dream # 28 Of 2022
Lucidity Trigger Unknown
No Reality Check Needed

Psycho Surreal

My first recall of the dream I'm in a corridor that seems like some office type building and the corridor is packed with people in business attire.

I'm apparently already lucid since I seemingly randomly start shouting "This is a dream! at all the near by people in the corridor with me. But I don't remember any point of actually becoming lucid. I shout it at them all several times but I'm not exactly sure if I'm trying to convince them or I'm just trying to cement my own lucidity. I remember the feeling of everything seeming so real that I'm almost not convinced of it myself for a moment but I continue my shouting of the words fully believing it.

I start becoming a bit of a rude asshole trying to get a reaction from the people around me more than anything. Or possibly to continue with keeping myself convinced. I shout at them " I could fuck any one of you right now if I wanted to!" I look to one man and say "Do you mind if I fuck your wife? Or would you rather I fuck you instead!?" I don't actually have any intention of doing such a thing in the moment. I'm just messing with them and trying to get them to react to my obnoxiousness.

No one is having much of a reaction. They are all just staring at me as if I've lost my mind or something. I turn to a woman and say "Nice boobs you have there." And I proceed to give one of them a bit of a fondle. Again not much reaction from her as I do so but I take note of how soft and realistic it feels as I give it a little squeeze.

I'm feeling like I've set the tone here though, like I'm going a bit psycho. Maybe more than a bit. An elevator door opens and I enter along with several others jamming into the close space. I just know this elevator is going to fall and I'm loving the thought of the idea as the psycho tone further takes hold of me.

Of course the elevator begins to jerk a bit and then just free falls. Finally some reaction to the dream characters in the elevator with me as they now begin freaking out pretty badly. I scream the words "Dream elevator to hell!" and begin laughing maniacally.

Having a blast with this elevator drop I completely surrender to the sensation of falling as we fall faster and faster. The sensation of the fall filling my entire being in a way that I don't know how to describe other than blissful. And I'm looking forward to where this will lead, what we will fall through and into as I'm aware there is no floor at the bottom to crash into. Just falling through the void of dream space to who knows where.

Then there is an area of bad recall as we end up in some other building/facility of dream land and everything gets surreal and I become the villain of dream with god like abilities. All of this portion of the dream is vaguely recalled but I remember playing with telekinesis and have abilities of easily manipulating the environment as the all of the dream characters are now out to try and stop me. And a battle ensues but it's more me toying with them and everything around me.

Then the next thing I remember clearly is a room with a glass wall. Inside the room I can see a woman kneeling over a blanket seemingly with sadness. I find myself curious and I step right through the glass. As I step through the glass the glass bends and warps like maybe liquid plastic becoming blue swirling light and as I step through it all snaps back on itself becoming just a normal looking glass wall again. 

At this point I hardly even take notice of the effect as I've already become accustomed to these kinds of effects of my abilities in this dream. I'm more focused on the woman. But I can see that she has taken notice of the bizarre effect of me walking through a glass wall and into the room with a WTF expression on her face. I simple say to her. "Oh, that just happened because this is a dream.

But then before I even notice she is gone and I hardly even take note of her disappearance as I'm curious about what she was kneeling over and made her seem so sad. I lift the blanket to see what is underneath half expecting to find a dead body or something and I'm a little surprised to find nothing under the blanket at all.

But whatever. Continuing on I forget about it. There is another black spot in my recall here or scene shift and I now find myself out on a street with people fleeing in terror. Terror from me as the previous battle has turned from them trying to stop me to them trying to run away. People are jumping into cars along the street that look like something form the thirties or forties, old fashioned cars and trying to race off and away.

I send out telekinetic mind feelers into the engine of one of the cars that is trying to flee and the engine explodes into flames stopping the vehicle in it's tracks. I find this effect of the exploding engines very cool and fun as I always wanted to try playing with fire in a lucid dream but never got around to it. So I continue with another car and another making all of the engines explode into flames. 

Then another scene shift and maybe a dip in my lucidity as I'm in an arena at battle with some very large construction vehicle and there is a bit of me trying to avoid being crushed by a giant back hoe. Dodging and weaving this way and that. I say possible lucidity dip here because normally I wouldn't have bothered with trying to avoid the thing.

But then I regain more lucidity again as I take note of the surroundings. The arena is like an open air arena/no top to it. And I'm able to see an apocalyptic city beyond the walls of the arena and I seem to have forgotten all about the battle no longer paying any attention to it. The giant machine is no longer present.

I'm taken by the view of the apocalyptic skyscrapers in the distance all in various stages of destruction. The sky is dark and the coloring of the city is dark and blueish almost cartoon like but with exquisite detail. And I think to myself in awe how phenomenal it is that my mind can create such vivid details.

I consider flying off to explore this city when my visual perspective kind of zooms in oddly to the top of one of these skyscrapers. And bizarrely I can see what looks like a giant flashlight laying across the top of the building. I find this so bizarre and I'm transfixed by the sight of the giant flashlight.

The building begins to sway and tilt one way then the next each time leaning a little further more to the side. As the building does this the giant flashlight rolls back and forth across the top of the building until finally the building tilts so far that the building begins to fall similar to a falling tree. The entire building crashes down in spectacular fashion.

And I wake but it's not a real awakening. I've had a false awakening when I look at my clock I only have about an hour before I have to be to work I need to hurry up. But remembering my ice cream in the freezer I want to eat a few bites of it first. (In actuality I had no ice cream but I had been thinking about getting some but I never did.)  But in my false awakening I believe I had it. I open the freezer and it's there and lifting the top I can see that it's partially melted but whatever. I begin eating it anyways taking a couple of spoonful's of it before I wake for real this time.

And this time looking at my clock again I had only been asleep for about two hours but feeling wide awake after this intense wild ride of a dream.

Lost Lucidity

I'm a passenger in car that is driving along cliffy mountain roads when the driver of the car losses control and the car skids swerves this way and that as the drivers fights to regain control. Control is never regained as we go over the road and over a very steep cliff.

I begin shouting excitedly. "This is a dream! This is a dream!" I manage to somehow eject myself from the car as I stand up and leap out. I land on my feet on a path in the forest. Which at this time I have lost my lucidity and also now lost in the wilderness who knows where. I follow the path no longer at all lucid trying to find my way out of the mountains.

There is a lot more to the dream both before and after but I'm very short on time and wanted to at least get that bit down. Decided I'm not officially adding it to my lucid count.

Apocalypse Begins

I'm with someone and my first recall of the dream is after we have escaped from some laboratory or some such and we are on what feels like an important mission.

A sort of mutation virus has been set loose on the world and the the outbreak has just beginning. My companion and I are on a mission to infiltrate some facility to complete what feels like an important task. We carry syringes filled with a poison that apparently has the ability kill infected mutants.

Reaching the facility we find some scientists that have become infected with the mutation virus and they are in the first stages of beginning to turn. They are not full zombie like at first but become very vicious and violent coming after us.

At first they still have the ability to speak and I don't know the full interaction I have with one of them but I remember saying to him that I have no fear of dying myself but am just on a fun adventure now. I think I have a moment of near lucidity here as for a moment I consider my words and how odd it seems that this whole thing is just a fun adventure.

The infected scientists become deeper into the process of turning and attack us growling snarling and hissing. I manage to inject one of them with the poison sticking the needle into him but it's taking it's sweet time to do what it's intended purpose as we are being raged upon. The scientist I injected begins to stumble around a bit appearing as if becoming weaker as the poison begins to take hold.

But then the infected scientist seems to just shake it off and comes at me with renewed viciousness. I see a screwdriver on a table and pick it up to use as a weapon. I plunge the screwdriver into the infected scientists skull which causes a momentary pause in his attack and he stumbles. But then comes right back at me again. I grab the screwdriver and pull it out of his head and then plunge it back in and repeat trying to destroy his brain. I wake in the process of it.

I recalled a couple of more dreams but I don't have any more time to record.

Low Level Lucidity

I don't know. I considered officially counting this one but decided not to. Kind of odd as I clearly knew I was dreaming for a bit but didn't really feel very lucid.

I'm with an unknown dream character that I seem to know in the dream. We both know we are in a dream but I don't have any recall of a moment of realization. And knowing we are dreaming we are both being silly and having fun acting absolutely ridiculous trying to freak out other dream characters with our obnoxious behavior. Such as being outside of a house and jumping around acting all crazy outside of these peoples window and looking at at them making faces at them and waving arms wildly and yelling crazily.

The next thing I know is we end up in a car on the road and continuing with our obnoxious behavior trying to freak out other drivers on the road through the windows.

But then I lose what lucidity I have when we get into a terrible accident and slam into the tail end of what seems to be some kind of tanker trailer truck for gasoline or oil or some such. On impact a fire erupts and I notice the side doors of the car kind of crushed tight and I don't know if I can get the doors open. But with some relief I manage to get my side door unlocked and the door pushed open. But then I notice my friend is caught in a seatbelt and can't get out. I'm aware that an explosion is about to occur at any moment and my friend is trapped.

With disregard to my own safety I remain to struggle with getting my friend loose of the seatbelt. Luckily I manage to get the seatbelt unstuck and pull my friend out of the car and dragged away just as the explosion happens. We make it barely out of range of the blast. Then their is a disturbing moment of chunks of blood and gore from bodies blown apart and other debris from the vehicles that are caught in the explosion raining down on us when I wake. 

A Walk At The Park

This dream was actually earlier but I was just out for a walk with my lost friend at the park. Nothing overly odd happens but the whole thing has an odd feel to it. My lost friend keeps running back and forth from one side of the trail to the other excitedly as it seems she has has caught the scent of some animal that has just crossed the trail and wants to see what it is. And I have to keep trying to keep her from running off into the woods on the chase for whatever it was. And there are some ponds along the trail that she seems eager to jump into and I'm trying to keep her from doing that as well.

For some reason I begin thinking about the possibility of running into a bear or some such. The sun is beginning to set and we are on the way back home. As the sun is setting and the thought of bears enters my mind I notice my headphones are on and there is music that changes becoming more exciting and tense like, as if changing to play to the theme of danger approaching.

I see something moving just over there partially obscured by trees. And I'm thinking oh crap. But it turns out it's a false alarm when two people on horseback come into full view. My lost friend getting all excited over the sight and smell of the horses I scoop her up and try to calm her down so she doesn't spook the horses. (This is a thing that has occurred a few times on our walks in reality as there are horse stables, riders, and sometimes hey rides at a place we often went for walks at.) I wake as we are waiting for the riders to pass by.

-A barely remembered fragment of being at home and preparing myself for some world ending event that seems is about to happen outside.

Saturday/October/22/2022

I had some very low level lucidity as I traveled through time and I was aware that I time traveled by method of my own mind and from inside of a dream but full lucidity didn't ever quite click.

It was actually a motocross dream where I traveled back to a time when the motocross phenom Ricky Charmichael was just starting out and before he was a full blown superstar on a motocross bike. In the dream he was attempting to break records by having a jump set up on a track that was a distance between two huge ramps that no one had ever been able to clear before. And it was kind of a do or die kind of thing as coming up short wasn't going to end well. I take part in this event in a fun way as Ricky a few others and myself were all riding together on the track during a sort of trial run. But things were feeling good there wasn't a bit of wind and we were all feeling confident on our bikes. So the lot of us decide that this is the perfect moment. People and news media gather as they realize that we have made the decision to go for it even though we have not informed anyone and set the proper time. Since everything just felt perfect in that moment it seemed we needed to just do it when it felt right.

So after smoothly clearing a series of smaller double and triple jumps that monster ramp looms ahead and the entire lot of us punch the throttles and give it everything we've got. And hitting that ramp maybe I should have become fully lucid as we were all suddenly flying side by side over a huge gap for what felt like an extended period of time before making a perfect coming down with a perfect landing on the opposite ramp spectators cheering in disbelieve that we had actually made it and a new record had been set history been made.

There was a lot more to the dream, actually, but that was the main body of it.
