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.

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.

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.

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.

-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.

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.

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.

Saturday/November/5/2022

I slept about seven hours but was pretty well out with no recall most of the night no doubt because of being overly tired from little of sleep the previous night. But I eventually did have some vivid recall of a pretty long work related dream.

Maybe the most interesting thing to note about the dream was a conversation I had with an unknown dream character at one point about riding motocross bikes. The discussion revolved around previous experiences with crashes which began when the dream character mentioned a wipeout they had on their bike. And I described a couple of the worst ones that I had that actually happened in waking reality. I actually didn't remember that part of the dream upon first waking. It wasn't until I saw a photo of my bike and right away felt there was something about it in my dreams. Then that portion of the dream came flooding back and the conversation I had with the dream character about it.

Monday/November/7/2022

Nothing but work related stuff. Though I'm pretty sure that there was something else that I've forgotten because I forgot to take notes on it and just fell back to sleep.

There was some very low level lucidity when I became aware of a dreamsign but just continued on not letting full lucidity to catch on. I had been cleaning up a water spill on the floor and there just kept on being more to clean up. I was getting kind of annoyed that every time I turn around I see more water that I have missed. But then I become aware that the reason this is happening is because of it being a dream so it makes perfect sense then that I would keep finding more water. But for whatever reason I just kept on with the dream and forgot about it.

There was a moment worth noting when I hear some music playing and there is this old boombox style radio playing a cassette tape. I recognize the music as being from the metal band "Slayer" But then the boombox cassette tape player begins eating the tape and the tape gets all pulled out of the cassette and tangled up and I think it's ruined no longer playable. But someone takes the cassette and manages to wind it all back up properly into the cassette. But I have my doubts that it will ever play right again because I think that some of the tape was destroyed in a way which will cause it to just get caught in the player again and be pulled out, or otherwise not work/sound right when it gets to that section of the tape.

On this night I had lucid dream number 29 of 2022. I'll be describing in my lucid dream journal later when I get time.

  Random Mall Monster

So random WTF. I'm in a mall sort of shopping center when I find a musical area and the dream is a normal enough dream of playing music which is fairly common theme for me.

I'm trying to figure out this bizarre instrument that is some kind of futuristic combination of guitar and electronic synthesizer. The instrument has a guitar neck with strings with a computer looking with pads on it for making electronic sounds. There is a band there playing music and I begin to figure out this instrument and begin playing all sorts of cool stuff that goes along perfectly with what the band is playing when...

I don't even know how it happens or where the monster comes from. But the next thing I know there is this freaky mutated monster I don't know how to properly describe. Tan blubbery loose skin, gaping fanged maw in a monstrous head tentacled, arms and legs.

This thing comes out of nowhere and latches onto someone near me, wrapping it's tentacled appendages around them. The monster opens it's mouth wide and slithering/snaking out of it's mouth comes a long thick slimy tubular member which forces itself into the persons mouth and down their throat. The monster presses it's face against theirs and the persons throat can be seen moving as that thing is being forced down into their stomach.

After a few moments the monster releases it's victim pulls back that long tube from it's own mouth retracting out of the persons stomach. Some disgusting liquid dripping out of it.

The monster turns it's attention to me pouncing after me. I run. I feel more grossed out than frightened by the thought of thing going down my throat. I run with everything I've got but the monster is much faster than me. When I turn to look back the thing is gaining on me quickly with tremendous speed and power. There seems to be no possible way for me to outrun it. Instead when the monster pounces I lunge to the side trying to dodge. This works as when I doge to the side the monster misses me.

The chase continues through the mall with me continuously having to lunge away and dodge those pounces. With some relief I make it to the exit doors of the mall. But then dismay as I can see a deep pit in front of the exit door filled with rotating blades churning and digging construction like that is blocking the exit and that monster fast approaching from behind.

But by some miracle I'm able to safely traverse the pit unscathed by the churning blades and and out the exit to what seems like safety on the street outside that is bustling with activity.

That is the last thing a remember about it. Must have woken then. I didn't even recall the dream for a few minutes after waking. I was going over recall of some other dreams when the memory of this one came flooding back to me all of a sudden.

Thursday/November/10/2022

A couple of near misses. Two different work related dreams I recognized something out of the norm. I had every intention to do a reality check to find out if it was a dreamsign. But in both cases I woke up before I could make anything of it.

Monday/November/14/2022

Didn't have time to record Friday but recalled a dream where I was thinking about lucid dreaming and trying to incubate the kind of dreams that could easily turn lucid for me.

Last night I recalled a fun dream of jumping off bridges and cliffs into a rushing river multiple times. There was some low level lucidity as I remember some scary jumps but reminding myself I was dreaming and couldn't be hurt by a fall. But no full lucidity took hold. There was also a little bit of work stuff, and later recalled a fragment of being in some battle defending with a long stick/staff type of weapon. Deflecting blows this way and that.

Going to try and get more sleep tonight. Wanted to post some more of my old lucids but didn't get around to it yet.

Tuesday/November/15/2022

Not a lot of recall, feeling like shit. Might be a miserable five days of working before my week off. Hopefully it's just a regular cold and will be mostly over it before my vacation week I've been looking forward to.

- Some weird lucid hypnagogia. I thought I'd be out pretty quickly last night as I was feeling sick but I had some trouble falling to sleep and was getting into HI stuff. It was weird in that I kept looking at my dream body hands and arms each time feeling as if I might have successfully wake initiated. It happened several times where I was seeing my hands and arms and then moving my dream body as I'm feeling my physical body laying in it's position so it had a weird awkward feeling. Especially when I was experiencing my dream body laying in a different position from my sleeping body so that I'm trying to move my dream body arms at very awkward angles. Almost like if you are in VR in first person but the viewpoint is off center from your VR characters position.

-I recalled a fragment of being at the town houses where I lived as a kid. My lost friend being present. I step outside the door onto the steps for a minute and it's dark outside and an earie feeling tone to it. And hearing some creepy sounds.

-I recalled a little bit of a dream of being out shopping. Vivid memory about looking through the clothing section and looking at a rack full of pajama pants and thinking about getting some new ones.

-There was some weird stuff that I can't quite recall and had forgotten to takes notes on.
