I woke up this morning and had 2, second long lucid dreams. I was pretty frustrated. One I realized that I was dreaming, I RCed, and then woke up. Another I realized that I was dreaming, RCed, and decided to finish the dream because of its epic awesomeness. I forgot the entire dream but that part now though. 0_0. In one place I was in my bedroom, and another I was on a mountain with someone from Hitchiker's Guide.

I decided to wait until after my nap to DJ, and here is the LD from my nap.
"Go to sleep" my wife says "I set up the whole dream."
I am looking at my bookshelf. I just came out of a book. I realize that the dream is using thus program as a way for me to lose lucidity and for me to stay unaware. I RC/stabilize. I just came from an epic dream, so I decide to go with it again. This time I decide to slow down more than last time. Be present. I go over to my dream wife and she points at me where to lay down.
I lay down on the bed and she connects me to a machine. I wild transition directly into a room. My wife speaks over everything.
"I will be down there in a second." I think about dream within a dream for a second and that it probably isn't my wife, but this place looks cool. I am in a room that has some obstacles and two exits. One high (a door about 20 feet off the ground) and one low. My wife appears next to me.
"Darn." She says when she sees the doors "this was my least favorite option." She pulls up three maps real fast and shows me that had they been level doors, we could have met about 10 rooms into this maze. Since it is over and under it is harder, and we are apart. (Doesn't speak, 3D map, points).
"It is ok. We can talk the whole time, and I am pretty good at this dreaming thing and puzzles." I say.
"How can we talk the whole time?" She asks. I laugh and expand my consciousness. It connects with hers and I stop it before anything other than sights and sounds connect. It is kind of like split screen, but neither screen is being cut off because of the other.
"There!"
"How are we gonna get up there?" She points at the high door.
"I'll take this road, and I'll take over if you cannot beat a room, okay?" I step up and fly to the door.

Half of the items in this next room are missing gravity (anti-gravity) and are flying around recklessly. I notice buttons on the ground, and TK a couple things to cover them. The next door opens. I dodge the floating objects (still flying). The next door is upside-down, I fly upside down and enter the door normally. My wife made it through her room as well.

All of the items in this room are without gravity, and they are moving fast. I dodge and land on one. I connect it's gravity to the ground (Maybe the cieling since I came in upside down ). I notice that there are a lot of switches, 5 at least. I grab the five fastest moving items and TK them onto the switches. The door unlocks. When I let go with TK they go floating off and the door locks. I bring them back and switch their gravity to the switches that all seem to be on the ground. I go to the next room and there are a bunch of switches on the walls and smaller and bigger flying objects (most of these rooms look like living rooms, and most objects are couches and chairs and TVs). I note all the switches and grab all the items quickly and TK them there, and hold them there with gravity. Door unlocks.
"Hey, I am stuck" My wife says. I had lost tabs on her for a bit and lost the sight with her. I check back with her and see that she just needs to move some heavy boxes.
"This room here is safe, so switch with me." I say. I switch bodies over and immediately feel... pregnant. I TK the boxes and the door unlocks. I check the next room and it needs two people to complete. I switch back to my body and teleport back to where my wife was.
"Hey, I'll need your help on this one." I say, stepping behind her.
"Ah, didn't see you there." She says.
I don't remember this puzzle much, but it ended in a FA that lasted a second, then I woke up.

1. I was in my driveway. There was a pretty big truck there and my grandpa told me to get in it and drive. I got in and he got in the passenger seat. The truck was silver and was the suspension was jacked up alot, so it sat really high. I put the truck in drive and slowly pulled out of the driveway. I had never driven a truck before, so I noticed that it handled alot differently. I turned right or left out of my driveway and started driving. Immediately my grandpa started criticizing my driving(even though Ive never driven a truck before this) and told me what I was doing wrong and what not.
I kept on driving and drove wherever he told me to go. Sometime later, as I was driving down a street in my neighborhood, I started tripping, REALLY hard. Everything was moving like waves and breathing like in a trip and it was really taking an effect on my driving ability. I immediately thought I was "crashing", something I had talked to a friend, PKJacker, the night before. I tried pulling over, and as I was my grandpa stopped me and told me to keep going- so I did.
Later on I somehow got onto the freeway and my dad was now in the passenger seat. We were starting to ascend onto a bridge/overlook on I-4 (no idea what highway that is). As we kept climbing this steep ramp I got really scared because it was really high and I didnt trust myself in this truck. Once the ramp sort of leveled off it split into 2 other bridges. As I neared this split I told my dad to take the wheel, and he did, and we ended up going onto the right bridge. I took the wheel over again and continued driving. We were approaching and tunnel that had a random drop in it where your car would just fall onto another road below it(into traffic, so it was really unsafe). My dad guided me on how to handle this and told me to watch for traffic below and speed up to where I would land on this small platform and fall onto the road below us(I know, really confusing). I made it down safely and continued driving.

With the end of the month tomorrow and thus also it being time to review the results I think it's fair to say that it's time for change. I already talked about using DEILD for next month and stopping the WBTB-alarm, one of the goals of this month was archieving a succesfull WILD which I won't do next month cause doing a full WILD (not a short one using DEILD) seems to be too difficult in the house during an afternoon nap. I get interrupted constantly and I just don't have such a lucid-desire during the day. Dream-Recall goal for next month will likely be reduced from 4 minimum average per night to 3 because 3 is more than enough.

Anyway, the dreams this night were quiet highly detailed and vivid, able to support lucidity is you asked me.
I woke up once but moved before I realized it, I should really tell myself not to move.

1. Mine(craft)

I'm somewhere deep down in a cave in the game 'Minecraft', I'm digging up resources like Redstone and instead of ore I find complete blocks of pure Redstone. Then I have weird X-ray vision and I can see a bit better in the dark. Some creepers attack me but I can kill them with a sword, in the background I hear some voices of people reacting shouting things like "Oh god a creeper!" or "Watch out!".

2. The old house

I'm in an old house located probably somewhere in the middle of Antwerp during the Victorian era based on the clothing and poverty. I suddenly have two sisters instead of one IRL and the house we live in is in extremely bad condition. It could probably collaps any time, the floors were mostly gone on most levels meaning you could stand on the bottom of the house and look straight up to the roof. My sisters slept on the first floor and I slept in the attic, the way I reached this attic was by climbing a thin make-shift stair/ladder which was very dangerous but somehow I was used to it. The house also felt very cold because of holes in the roof and broken windows, it was probably winter outside.

3. The old/new farmhouse

I'm aproaching a large farmhouse with my dad, there's a snow storm going on and visibility is bad probably 10 meters at most. The house is remote with some fields around it and than a thick forest, at first from the outside it looks very old and maybe also derelict. Once we get inside it is quiet dark and cold, we quickly go around turning on all the heaters which also provides light throughout the house. While I go around turning on the heaters I realize just how large this place is and I think of how nice it could be if renovated. Slowly I realize I'm suddenly in the same house but it is very modern and nicely decorated. On the second floor somewhere in the back of the house I find two rooms which are seperated by a glass wall. The room I stand in first is empty and I think just a lounge corner. The other room which I enter not much later has some fitness equipment in it and upon better inspection also has 2 baths and a shower which makes me really happy cause it seems so usefull. Both rooms have a beautifull view over the field infront of the house which is completely covered in snow. It is evening and the snow storm is still raging outside so I can't look very far outside still. I feel an intense joy as if I own this house and I never want to leave it.

OKAY DREAM 1!!:

I was hanging out in the living room, it was a beautiful day - a beam of light was pouring through the window, illuminating all the dust in its path, nice stuff. I looked outside and there was this strange creature sniffing around the window. It was a large, green rabbit with various spring flowers growing out of its back. I thought, DAMN THAT's cool! so I reached through the solid window and gave it a nice pat on the back(still didn't realize it was a dream). A bunch of green dust was now on my hands from petting it. I smelled the green dust and it smelled of grapes, I had a split second thought of eating the grape flavoured rabbit. Then it ran away from the window and shook off all the green dust and flowers. A smaller rabbit and a raccoon jumped off the large, now just brown, rabbit's back. They all came charging towards the door to get inside, pushed it open somehow, then started dancing around me. I felt a little nervous and the raccoon jumped up and clawed at my shoulder then they all ran outside. The cats ran after them and then I woke up.

Lucid 1:

This dream started in the sun room, so I was surrounded by plants and there was light everywhere and a little mist and it was very pretty. I felt like something was in my throat so I coughed and out came this giant worm. It wriggled around on the floor for a couple seconds, gooing all over the place before I thought, either I have a serious parasite problem or this is a dream. So I tried to make the worm fly into the air with my mind powers and it shot upwards a couple feet. Hurray! I casually strolled outside and picked up a flower and ate it, tasted like flower petals. Then I decided to try to fly off into space. I started off flying slowly before I felt as though I was tethered to the ground by an invisible rope. I managed to break free and I went off at super speed, everything turned white. I saw a black hole in front of me and I flew straight into it. I instantly appeared back in my backyard. But I was floating around as though there was no gravity. I flew straight through my house, then the neighbor's house, and I appeared right back in my backyard, so I did it again and again and I was stuck in a loop so I just relaxed and meditated as I kept flying through houses faster and faster. I felt a strange calm and contentment even though the world around me was anything but. After a couple moments of feeling fantastic I woke up, in my backyard, and ran to a table to try to write down some stuff when I thought...I don't usually wake up in my backyard, FALSE AWAKENING!! I still wrote some stuff down to help me remember.

Once I was done writing some notes about the previous dream, I walked into the house while trying to think of something else to do. I remembered the reading DC mind/becoming DC tasks and I decided to try to feel the emotions of my cat. I felt nothing, just a strong desire to eat bugs. So I looked behind me and there was a DC sitting there. I let myself feel what the DC was feeling and it was great sadness, as though an old friend had died. I woke up.

This lucid dream happened two nights ago, and was my major motivation to set up this account so that I could start dream journaling again. Though the emotion of the dream was actually sort of negative, the implications it had for my dream control were enough to make my want to start really working on it again.

I was hanging out with my close friend M who I don't get to see quite as often as I'd like anymore, and we had decided to go check out the house that another old friend of ours, D, grew up in. As far as I know his family still lives there in waking life, but I'm sure he's probably moved out by now. I unfortunately haven't seen this friend in a few years now because we had a falling out after I made some life choices that he disagreed with, but I still think about him and miss hanging out with him as we had known each other since before grade school even.

There wasn't anyone at the house when we got there, and we actually ended up sneaking in somehow. I don't recall exactly which way, but I don't recall there being any sort of struggle to do so. We just walked around to see what all may or may not have changed since the last time either of us had been there, and I figured that if D's parents or brother showed up they might not mind that we were there since it was me, but I was afraid of spooking them unintentionally. We were upstairs as I was thinking this, and as we started walking down the stairs I suddenly noticed that there was someone else in the house too, but it was this old woman waiting at the bottom of the stairs for us. She appeared to remember who I was from many years ago, but I couldn't quite figure out who she was exactly. Despite that, I do remember registering her as possibly being one of D's brother's friends' moms. She didn't seem overly surprised that we were there, nor we of her, and we just kept going about our business after running into her.

M and I ended up going out to their backyard next, which looked pretty different from what I remember. After checking out the pool, we decided to go swimming for a while and just talk about life. I couldn't really tell you too much of what we talked about, as I barely even remember the act of changing into bathing suits or anything other than just already being in the pool, but I do know that out of nowhere a whole bunch of people suddenly showed up. Once again we were not particularly bothered by this, and I remember feeling that there was just suddenly a total pool party going on, and M and I were fine with that. It seemed like a pretty lighthearted atmosphere and everyone appeared to be having fun. I swam up toward the edge of the pool to just kind of hang along the tiles for a while, and M came up to me from the left and the character Gunn from Angel came up to me from the right. For some reason they were both starting to squeeze me together pretty tightly, and just as I was about to say something and try to wiggle my way out from them, a foot met my hand that was resting on the edge. I looked up, and it was my mind's theoretical version of a more college-aged D, looking down at me like he was expecting some sort of explanation.

M and I both get quiet and D just continues to stare at me impatiently. In my mind, this is the first time I've seen him in years, and I say to him that I know we have some things to talk about. I start getting up out of the pool in the meantime, and he begins to reply in a begrudging but friendly way that he knows that whatever I say, he'll have to accept my apology. This actually makes me start to feel better, like things might not be so bad between us after all and maybe we can be friends again, but then there is a sudden blip in my perception of reality and now I am just standing outside by the pool all alone. No D, no M, no partiers. Everything about my environment has suddenly become much more vivid and detailed as well, and the odd idea strikes me that everything that had happened up to that exact moment might have been a dream, but now I was actually awake and had a real chance to talk to D, since I was still in his old backyard.

I ran into his house and went upstairs to his old bedroom to talk to him, and along the way I became aware that all five of my senses were now strongly present. I was excited in the idea of fixing up what he and I have lost, but once I got to his room and checked everywhere, including lifting up the covers of his bed, he was nowhere to be found. As my enthusiasm begins to dwindle, it starts being replaced by logic and I begin to fear the worst. I quickly grab my phone and try to turn it on so that I can try to check what time it is twice, but it won't even turn on in the first place. Losing my sense of hope, I then run to his bathroom which is attached to his bedroom and tried to flip on the light switch multiple times, every attempt to no avail. There's no use trying to fight it anymore.... This is a dream.

For a moment I feared that I had not only fallen for a disappointing lie but ruined a considerably vivid lucid as well, because the darkness of D's bathroom had overtaken all of my vision so that I could see nothing but black. I don't even recall how exactly, but I managed to desperately grab for any stimuli I could possibly find, and just when I thought all was lost, D's bedroom faded back into focus. Things were a little blurry, and for some reason I had the strange idea that taking my glasses might actually make things more vivid, which worked perfectly. I repeated this action one or two more times during the rest of the dream too without ever actually having to put my glasses back on.

I was still feeling really hurt by the loss of what I thought might be a old friendship finally coming back into my life, and I just needed to blow off some steam. Luckily for me, this is very often what I use lucid dreams for anyway, so there couldn't have been a better setting for me to be in while feeling this way. At this point I stopped walking and instead flew out of his house, phasing through the wall as I did so, to get back out into the neighborhood. While flying I went past a tree and actually felt like I scraped myself on one of the branches, which caught me off guard, but I probably brought it upon myself by just happening to glance at the tree as I went by. However, that momentary loss of focus caused the whole area to start being replaced by just a big field of flowers, which was definitely not what I was looking for at the moment. The edge of my vision on my right side still contained house, so I quickly darted off in that direction hoping to find a more developed area, which worked perfectly.

The area I had arrived in contained many houses but was no longer anything like the neighborhood that D lives in. It looked much more like a downtown city area, with a road going down a hill, and houses much like you would see in the San Francisco area, absolutely none of which you will actually find in the area I was in just moments ago. However, any area such as this would work for my purposes. Harnessing my emotions into my dream control as I had done in my last lucid that I can remember, I held out my hands as if to hold something very large and heavy in front of me, started tensing my fingers like I was gripping something in each, and then started raising them up while projecting my feelings out into the city ahead of me. As I did so, the ground under a housing complex began to rumble and rise up into the air, warping the buildings around it as it did so. The mass that I was lifting up became colossal and took on a shape seeming to have arms and legs, but it was not humanoid. Suddenly, a glowing red light and chunks of rock were visible all through the cracks in the ground which was splitting more each second, and then terrifying, monstrous face emerged on the head of the beast. I had summoned an enormous lava monster, just as I had intended.

I could hear people in the area all screaming at the site of this new creation of mine which was the manifestation of the pain that I had felt after the previous events of the dream. To release that tension that I felt, the monster began using its incredible power to start destroying the city all around it. This whole event was incredibly vivid and life-like, and I was quite proud of my apocalyptic pet. I simply let it do its thing and then continued flying down the road, not yet ready to be finished wreaking havoc. The next thing I did was focus all of my negative energy toward an area just above another set of houses just a bit down from where I had been, and this caused a ball of fire to burst into existence. Before it could totally fade away, as it was just a quick thing, I reached my hand out to it as if to hold on to it from a distance, and then pulsed more energy out through my arm and towards, reigniting the burst and making the ball even larger than before. Ready to end my sadness, which like most emotions seemed significantly enhanced my being in the dream state, I continued to push this ball more and more until it reached the strength of an atomic explosion, annihilating everything in the dream reality and waking me up in the process.

Though this was certainly not the happiest of lucid dreams I've ever had, it was definitely an important step up in my quest to obtain better dream control. Hopefully in the future I can continue to expand these abilities using more positive emotions to really achieve some incredible things.

To start off this dream journal I wanted to include this lucid entry because it was the first time I felt like I reached a newer level of dream control I seem to be on now, and it wasn't too long ago that it happened. This came at the very end of the month of May, and is the last vivid lucid I can recall before the one I had two nights ago. I don't recall exactly if there was more dream leading up to this part, but I'm just going to include the significant piece of it that I can remember.

I found myself wandering around a very large house with an impressive artistic design; it felt like the kind of place that someone with a lot of money to waste might pay a skilled architect to build into a natural setting. The main thing that I can remember about it was that it was sort of blocky and there were a lot of beige colors. I was walking through what appeared to be something like the living room, but a huge one, and there were many other people walking around as well. I don't recall who exactly this might have been anymore, but I just know that I saw a celebrity or otherwise someone who I just knew shouldn't be there, and upon that realization I became lucid.

Out of nowhere, several police officers started raiding the house. I wasn't quite sure exactly what they were trying to find, but I did know that I didn't really care to find out. People were starting to run around in a panic as if they had something important to hide, and I knew that I had to do some quick thinking to figure out a way to dispose of the officers if I wanted to actually explore this dream in peace. I didn't find much to work with after a quick glance around the house especially with all of the people everywhere in my way, so I ended up frantically running outside to try to come up with a plan.

When I got out there I saw that we were located in the middle of a forest, though the trees weren't placed together too thickly so you could still see beyond them to a horizon in the distance. It was very picturesque, and added to the feel of how I described the house before. There still wasn't much out there for me to go on though, so I had to make a split-second decision. I felt my desperation welling up inside me, and I decided to focus that emotion as much as I possibly could into my dream control. Acting purely on instinct, I realized that energy into the first thing that I could possibly think of, which began happening simultaneously as it entered my mind: a tidal wave to simply wash the whole situation away.

There was a deep roaring as the massive tsunami started visibly and quickly rising up over the horizon in the distance, and within seconds had reached the point of blocking out the sun in the sky. I hurried back over to the entrance to the house that I had originally come out of because it placed the house directly in the path between the tsunami and myself, and soon after the water came crashing down on to the terrain around me. However, something I noticed as I looked into the house was that all of the people were suddenly gone. Was there even a point to this in the first place? The water was starting to burst into through all of the windows, shattering the glass everywhere, and it was all building up and approaching me quite realistically. As the intense torrential force hurled towards me, my last lucid thought was that this may not have been the best idea to summon.

Once the water hit me, I died instantaneously. However, the dream still continued to progress, just from a third-person perspective. "I" was now seeing a bird's-eye view of what appeared to be an extremely large and extravagant fountain which appeared to be at the base of a cylindrical room in the center of some ancient temple which conveyed a lot of power. There was a very geometric design to the flow of the water which came from the fountain, carrying it in a series of circles from the top of the structure to the circle around it and then outward from the room. My camera angle was spinning just slightly, very slowly to one side. There were also I believe four completely bronze-colored, metallic-looking, and quite muscular male human shapes who were all floating into the air in four corners around the fountain with their arms outstretched to the ceiling.

For the duration of this experience there was an emotion that this fountain is the temple that "I" was observing actually exists in another dimension outside of our own, and is in some way a metaphysical resting place for many different worlds including our own. The water that was flowing out of the fountain was felt to in fact be a divine stream which would inevitably bring the end of each world when its time came, and it was inherently understood that the tsunami which I had summoned was actually the wave that came to end our world. Unknowingly, I had brought upon the end of our existence as we know it, which is possibly why my perspective was switched to this vision to begin with. This was all interpreted conceptually in a matter of a seconds, and once this flash of imagery passed, I awoke.

The significance of this lucid dream for me was that I had never before been able to so effectively and effortlessly summon something as enormous and powerful as that tidal wave which I merely pulled up on a whim. This gave me some new ideas about attempting to alter a dream scenario by channeling my emotions into my abilities, which my most recent lucid (the one after this one) seems to have reinforced fairly well. Since this was the only dream I had like this that came significantly before I created this account, I figured it would be good to record it for future reference.

So first I'm a little confused about when class ends so I leave it early, only realizing once I'm out in the halls that it's against the rules, and by then, I don't dare go back. I head toward the exit of our school, when I decide that I might like to stop by the orchestra room and pluck some songs on my viola. I sit in the back so as to not disturb the players who are coming in and setting up, and I mess around on my viola a bit. However, cellists sit on my left and on my right, and it takes Cpt. Picard (in place of my actual orchestra teacher) to tell me to move to make me realize that I've disrupted the seating - I didn't know they would be sitting this far back. (In real life, that's not where the cellos sit, anyway.) I feel pretty embarrassed as I sit in the far corner, and I want nothing more than to leave, but that would draw even more attention to me and make me even more embarrassed.

Later, I'm playing a game where my character is a banded sea krait!naga/mermaid when in the water and a person when out, though he's got legs at the end of his tail.. This means that when outside of the water, he's naked. His human friend, because of this, is naked for some reason too. I get stuck somehow, I don't remember if I just don't know where to go in the game or if I have computer problems, but I ask my dad and my friend to come over and help. However, I'm covering up the middle of the screen with the two characters with a blanket. Unfortunately, it's see-through. My Dad and friend say it's no big deal and it's just a game, and I insist that no, they don't understand, I'm not just keeping them naked for the heck of it!

Later, I am the naga, and I'm also that tall blonde-haired guy from Free!. My human friend is the black-haired guy who loves water so much. (It's been a while since I've watched this, heh.) I no longer have legs at the end of my tail, and sometimes I forget I'm a sea krait and I swim like a normal fishy mermaid. Most of this dream is avoiding dangerous humans, talking to my two friends (I later get a friend who's a girl, though I don't think she was from Free!) about the conservation of the sea and the creatures and structures that reside in it, and talking to a skiddish sea krait!naga/mermaid who is scared of pretty much everyone from years of avoiding dangerous humans.

I think I was at a parade. I was standing on the sidewalk waiting for something to happen and there are a bunch of people lining the streets. I don't know what city I'm in. It's raining, not heavy, not drizzling, but steady. I look in the street and there is a median of sidewalk running down the middle. Now I see it... babies in baskets and like apple-picking bushels are floating down the median in a stream of water. These babies... they're SO HAPPY. They're all smiling and clapping and just having a great time. They're all naked from what I can tell. I woke up like, WTF? That was hilarious. I felt like I watched the funniest thing ever.

Morning of July 31, 2014. Thursday.



In my dream, I am searching the Google newspaper archive as I had in reality recently and am looking for my birth notice, although at one level, I seem somewhat disembodied (as is fairly common in similar dreams of more of a focus on two-dimensional elements). I look in the Sarasota Herald-Tribune issue from December 20, 1960 (even knowing that it is likely in a newspaper of a day or more later). When I find where it supposedly should be, I see only a black space instead around the upper middle of the page. Oddly, this is supposedly because my mother had cut it out from the newspaper at that time and kept it at the older address in Florida, though I apparently no longer still have it. Logically, this would also indicate that Google staff had scanned the same newspaper that my mother had in 1960, but I do not question any of this extreme unlikelihood in my dream. At one point, there is an athlete portrayed in various stages on a few different pages as trying to jump over all the amorphous features and “random blobs” of each page.

For the most part, though, I am contemplating the irony of the in-dream concept of actually having the newspaper in the past, the clipping being lost, and the scanned newspaper then being online with the missing notice. Worthy of a few giggles in conscious afterthought, I think.

In reality, this scenario is far more problematic. The particular newspaper from the December 20th archive link actually has randomly mixed pages from at least the 19th to the 21st and most of the pages had been scanned in sideways (as well as most of the newspapers in general having scrambled or missing writing and such or big white spidery “splatters” in the middle of a paragraph rendering much content unreadable). Thus, in some ways, my dream made far more sense than how people actually are in their general absentmindedness and overall lack of attention or care.

Late to bed after watching two episodes of a series, drinking a bit of alcohol and then, I didn't do something on going to bed. Upon waking up naturally, I wasn't willing to properly WBTB. Had done some simple RCs yesterday, at least.
Today later I plan one more hypnosis session and I did two, and hope for more extended RCs with pretending to be lucid and what to do then. I will also put an alarm for WBTB, not to "decide" about it on the spot (the wrong way...).
My I-Phone is loaded for dictation in the night and morning, too.


Dream #1: That's the one, from which I woke up - the one, which was clearly there, when waking up in the middle of the night is gone by now. After talking about it yesterday in my DJ and making said thread - tadaa - I was "shopping dress ideas" again (irl I didn't buy new clothes or anything like it for a long while). And shoes - seriously out of my reach - there are people, who have a shoemaker doing stuff to their specifications. Hm - hehe - how to get famous and rich?
Well - anyway - it had the so often present small difficulties along the way, including a toilet, and there was more to it, but what I have seems "dream-worthy".


Fragment #1: I drive a car, going backwards around a corner upwards to park it into not much space. Worked.

Fragment #2: With my grandmother in our old garden, planting hyacinths.

Fragment #3: In a restaurant, and a woman, I know from former work, and didn't like her, was the waitress and it was awkward.

Started the dream with going into a empty huge warehouse late at night with my wife. There one DC was there who did not like us and chased us out. Our car was parked at the end but was packed between other car and could not be removed, but finally got it out. The next night I went again along with the family to the same empty warehouse but the DC was not there. I keep thinking that hostile DC will return so we need be outside. So we come come and sit on an empty table. It is getting to be 9:30 and the hostile DC is approaching and then I realize I left my youngest son inside alone and I need to go and get him. I enter the empty building then I start think, this is not possible for me to leave my small kid alone in a big empty hostile place and then realize this is a dream.
I go inside and start flying inside the big empty warehouse and then take my kid outside . He wants to come and I tell him this a dream and I am going to fly and complete some task, he also wants to join me. So I take his hand and we start flying over towns and fields with breeze in our face. We end up somewhere in another continent. We walk in the streets of this small town, then I remember I have tasks to perform.
TOTM: The first task I remember is the TOTM and I decide I need an elevator and I see that there are no tall buildings in this town, so decide to go to big city. I tell my son we will walk through the door of the small shop and we open the door we will be in a big city downtown. That does not work, so we walk down the stairs and meet many DCs on the stairs and come out on the street and decide to fly instead. This is going to take long I feel. I see many DCs flying now, looks like that is mode of transportation. I meet SammytheSnake also flying and give him a high five as we cross each other. There is a lot of air traffic as everyone is flying. As I fly I see a swimming pool below and my son wants to play in it. I think this is a big swimming pool in front of a big hotel and a big hotel is there, so we drop down and my son is swimming. I tell him I will come back soon as I need to get an elevator to finish my task and go inside the hotel to find an elevator. I find a twin elevator and it is already going up, but I hit the up button multiple and it comes down. The DCs in the elevator are angry at me. I go to the one on the right and see it has only two floors. I feel this is not enough to accomplish my task and I think this is big hotel and should have another elevator for top floors, so I walk out and find another elevator that says 11-17 executive floors. I see myself only wearing a brief and say what the heck it is a dream and remove it. I enter this elevator full nude, it is huge elevator and people are dining inside it. The elevator seems like a restaurant. There is a chef at the entrance and looks at me being nude and is surprised. I say this is a dream and don't care. The elevator starts up but then start traveling side ways. I think , this always happens in my dream, elevator ends up traveling sideways. It then converts into a metro bus and travels down the street of the town I was there before. I meet few stars and think would be good to meet my favorite stars. The dream seems long now, then I hear my mom calling in the distance it is time to wake. I then decide to do a reality check of DCs watches. It is all digital and makes no sense, each watch showing a different number. Then I get down and walk and decide on my next task.

3-Step Task: I feel I will wake up anytime, but decide to continue with my 3-step task. I remember the first step is to push your hand through a solid object. I put my hands on a concrete column and see I have dream hands. I push through, first it fails but then I push through the concrete. I feel lot of concrete rumbles crush in my palm and then I feel the iron beam in the center and push through it. Then I remove my hand and see a coconut tree. Push my hand through it and feel wood chips in my palm. Then I think it is time for my second task in my three step. I need to attain invulnerability as I look around I see many cars and think if I jump in front of them and be unscathed that should be good. So I jump down from a high bridge like structure onto the front of a black car that is speeding down the road. The car hits me and crumbles and molds around me similar to superman. Then I start walking down again on the high bridge over a huge city below thinking about my third step but cannot remember. But I remember a task about reading a DC's mind. I see a dark female walking towards me. I stop her and try to read her mind. She thinks I am checking her breasts and booty and to squeeze her. I go ahead and do it. I get into caveman mode, but remember I have more tasks to do and this will surely wake me up. So I walk away still trying to remember my third task.
Personal Task: But instead I remember my personal task to drive a sports car. As I am walking I remember I left my son at the pool, but felt this will take time to fly and get him. Then I remember this is a dream and I snap my fingers and my son is in the shop and walks out with his toys. He wants me to show me the toys but I tell him I need to go complete my task. I am unable to teleport myself to a nascar race track, so I start flying, this is taking time. I meet Ninjago cyclone cloud like figures in the air, I ignore them and reach Nascar circuit. I see old nascar car and I tell I need to be part of Nascar. I select track and try to get a car. I get a very small car and big shoes. I squeeze in and have tough time fitting in. I make the car bigger into a full size nascar. There are lot of cars on the race. Then I wake up.

11:12 pm

I got 3mg melatonin tablets. I'll test them to see if they produce lucid dreams. So far, people have told me that they experienced realistic and/or wild vivid dreams. Also, I was told that 3mg is supposedly too much, as we only need to take 1mg. There is an option to cut the tablet in half, but I will start with the tablet's dose (for convenience; no other reason).

Time and techniques.

I had varied results from using various techniques. None were ever consistent. Results fade away with time, and the techniques simply become repetitions. So far, I've had the most vivid and memorable dreams when I sleep after 6 a.m. and wake up a little before noon.

Alarm.

Dreams also scatter quickly when I use an alarm clock, depending on the tone. When I use music, I quickly forget and just sing or listen to the music. Music also brings various images that could have changed the dream images. LD-related sounds, e.g. "Are you dreaming?", helps me focus on what I was dreaming before.

Light.

I sleep lighter with the lights on, and the dreams also seem more memorable. When the lights are off, I can barely get myself to move to turn on the lights or at least grab a pen and a notebook and "blind write" some keywords. It seems ideal to keep the lights on, but I'm concerned how this will affect the dream process.

Practice.

I won't be working on this daily. I have a limited supply of tablets, and at the same time, I'm concerned how long the effects of the tablet last in the body. I don't want it to accumulate as it could ruin the data for this experiment. I also have other activities IRL. However, I plan to stick to a consistent time for the week for sleeping, e.g. 11 pm the entire week, 3 am the next, and 8 am after.

Techniques.

Test 1: Melatonin alone, no other practices, e.g. meditation or WILD techniques. Sleep before 12 mn.
Test 2: Melatonin with meditation before sleeping.
Test 3: Melatonin with WILD technique.
Test 4: Melatonin with LD-related alarm.

Time part 1.

Test 1-4: Same as above except sleep after 2 am.

Time part 2.

Test 1-4: Same as above except sleep after 6 am.

Start date: Next week, August 6, 2014 (Wednesday).

DILD - I was talking a going camping with my family and we were in the car to go camping. I looked outside and didn't recognize where we were, and thought that I was dreaming so I did an RC to confirm that. Unfortunately I woke up right after.


DEILD - I was at a campsite. For some reason I had a glass bowl and there was something telling me to go return it. I went up to this girl and tried to talk to her, but when I did, she said, "OH NO YOU DIDN'T". There was more to the dream, but I forgot it.


I was driving the car, but the steering wheel was on the left side (used to it being on the right side). In front of me is one of my neighbors on a motorcycle and in front of him is another one. They get ready and look like they want to race me. I accidentally pull up a bit too close to the neighbor in front of me, but nothing happened. The light turns green, but the neighbor has his iPad out and has to put it away. He puts it away after a bit and starts driving, but when I go I realize that the car isn't working properly, so I try to turn right into the parking lot. I do that, but I feel clumsy. All of a sudden, my brakes stop working and I start going too fast and run into a brick wall by a tree.


I was at school studying math outside. In the book there was stuff about "Scoops" and graphs and stuff. I'm writing stuff down on my paper, and then I look at my math book to check a problem and when I look back there are spiders on my paper. One had a very large body and there were a bunch of smaller ones that were jumping around. I got up and ran away from it, but then I felt something clamped to my leg. It was one of the big spiders. I reach down to grab it and pull it off, but it keeps grabbing on to my hands and it's hard to get it off. Eventually, I rip it off (accidentally rip off two of its legs) then I woke up.


I was playing something like Civilization 5 and there was a big army attacking a town. I put out my soldiers and they won, but a lot of the town was destroyed. I went inside of the big building and it was like a large movie theater. There was a big room with a stage and lots of comfy chairs.


I got mad at my stepmom and started yelling at her.


I was driving home and all of a sudden on the radar (lol) I see lots of tanks and things. Bombs and rockets and stuff start coming from the mountains around and blowing up things and buildings are on fire. Then, they throw these grenade things and green gas starts coming from them.


I was at a ski competition and we were standing above the venue. It was really steep and there was a big cornice (snow overhang) and I felt like it was going to collapse. I was waiting for my turn to go, so I was just goofing around up top. Then, it was this girl's turn to go and she was scared to go. I told her that she could do it, and she went. I thought she was going to crash at the bottom, but she made it through.

July 31, 2014

today, my dreaming is not as well as i hoped. neither was yesterdays. i remember being in the woods with my friends and family walking around trails and hitting bananas with electric bug zappers for some reason. it was an overcast day here. another dream i had was I was doing stuff in a house that involved skyping people but not sure what. thats about all i can remember today. these past 2 days have no been so good with recall.

I'm in a car park, or possibly at the side of a road with cars parked alongside. I remember that I was going to turn cars over as a demonstration of superhuman strength. MrPriority is with me and it becomes a competition to see who can do the most impressive car flip. I start with a smallish car and turn it onto its side fairly easily. I move on to a larger car, perhaps a Mondeo. I hope to turn it right over. It nearly tips onto its roof but I lose momentum and it trays on its side like the first.

I move on again to an estate car, picking it over a couple of others as they're parked in and there's nowhere to flip them over into. As I'm turning it over I notice there's a man in the driver's seat and I hesitate a little bit but I know this competition takes that into account, so I carry on. The car ends up testing against a bus and there are several family members in the car. A small child has fallen out of the car and is such between the car and the bus, so I help to retrieve it unharmed.

An additional fragment: I remember there being a salamander. No idea what the rest of the dream was, just the salamander...
