    1. TOTM-Failed? Did not know the story or characters. Still cool.

      by , 08-06-2014 at 11:18 PM (Cities in the Astral)
      08-05-14 This DILD was very long and the first stuff has become lost. I stopped part way through to check my recall, and thought I would be able to keep it, but now it is very fuzzy.
      Where it comes into clear focus is a part in a old manor house and me being very sexual. I was lucid and having very wild sex with my wife, when she finally told me that she was tired and no longer into it. Rather than argue, I stood up and created a hallway with people at the end of it. I knew that a couple sexy women were in the group and I raised my hand, which kind of magically summoned them. They came up the hall and with out a question were ready to do/act in any way I wanted.
      The DC of my wife looked pissed at this. I told the dream/DC that I was interested in this activity, that it was clearly a dream, and that in this case if one DC would not play along, well, another one or two will.
      At this point the scene shifts around while I am talking and now my wife's family is all around us. They were supposedly up the hall way. Her father is a conservative Christian type, and being preachy. He is telling everyone that her neice and some man (her neice's husband IRL) are in Texas and having sex out of wedlock. The whole family is supposed to come with him to stop them from their sinful ways.
      The entire room has become some form of flying platform, kind of like a helicoptor, and we are now all flying to Texas. I decide this is a bunch of stupid BS and that I wil leave. Suddnely I am wrapped in tape as if the dream is going to prevent me from leaving this scene. I roll off of the platform and start to fall to get away. I cause the bindings to break loose and start flying.

      Now the TOTM stuff. I decide to try one of the TOTM, but IRL I do not know the story that the task refers to. I am suppossed to go to some castle and find some people and then see where something takes me. Oh well, there is no way for me to do that so i will do a generic version of this. I fly down and see a city of hut type buildings with bamboo constructions and go to the biggest one looking for a king or chief or something. It becomes some sort of feasting hall, like you may see in a primative castle.
      I do find a cheif/king and ask him for a quest. He tells me I should fly to Africa and cut the grass. Ok? I have no idea what that would involve, but let's just see where it takes me. "You want me to fly to Africe and cut the grass? I do not understand, but I will see if I can figure it out. Where are we now?"
      He tells me that we are in the land of the Mayains. I take off flying and decide to try and create a realistic Superman type flight. I picture the globe in my mind, but in hindsight I thought Africa was were S. America is and vice versa. I created images of Myan type buildings and jungle stuff as I flew. When I reached the shore of the Ocean I was starteled by a wonderful visual experience. I was floating in the clouds and could see half of the visuals were of an amazing otherwordly city. It was straight out of fantasy paintings with castles and pillars and cliffside villa. The lighting was cause by that kind of streaming sun beam effect. If I turned I saw a crazy vision of the sea, with hundreds of curling waves and crazy texture. I was in awe. This lasted for awhile while I took it all in.
      After that I flew the rest of the way to Africa. I saw the roofs were thached in grass and landed at an outside restruant. I sat at the bar and considered cutting the edge off the hanging grass roof, but choose to talk with the bar man and have a drink instead.

    2. 8/5/14

      by , 08-06-2014 at 10:03 PM
      Hey I'm getting better at this recall thing! 2 dreams recalled last night, even if they were a little fragmented.

      Cigar Gift (ND)

      I found myself in some sort of banquet room, sitting at a table with my mom's cousin Mike, his daughter Rachel, one of my past clients Kevin, and a friend of his. Apparently Kevin's friend was loaded, because he gave each of us a a gift bag that had multiple little cigar "gift packs" inside of them. Inside each package there are 3 small cigars that have a wrapper that says "Cohiba," and smell absolutely delicious; like a mixture of vanilla and honey. There is also an exquisite, hand carved, wooden cigar tube, and several plastic tie bags for what I assume would be unfinished cigars. I think its important to note that I am not a cigar smoker, and am absolutely floored to find out that cohiban cigars are actual authentic cubans.

      The container is also lined with white silk, and underneath that there seems to be some odd, forgotten items, like cheap tea bags and some small candies. Someone else walks up to the table, I forget who exactly but I have the feeling I know them well, and I invite them to come outside and share a cigar with me. Mike and Rachel get up to come with, and I wake up.


      House Sitting (ND)

      It seems as if I'm house sitting the neighbor's house two doors down from where my parents live. The house is much larger than I remember, with the entire interior changed. The only thing that seems normal is the outside view. well this would have been a perfect opportunity for a RC... oops I don't remember why I am here, but I hear a strange knock on the front door, which frightens me. I run to one of the windows to look outside and see who it is, and the house is so large that it seems if all the windows are able to face the front door. reality check #2 possibility... oops It takes me so long to get to a window, that by the time I am there, the person is gone. I walk around the house some more and look out the windows that face my parents house. These windows are open, and I can feel a nice, cool breeze coming through. I get a little chilly and look down to realize why I was so nervous to answer the door to begin with. I am completely naked.

    3. reentry 2

      by , 08-06-2014 at 09:50 PM
      cannot remember the driving segment

      But i do recall the last dream where I was with a group apparently fighting another, it all seemed rather game style in the lack of real urgency, kind of something like Rust or WarZ/Infestation, where you can group up/fight other people in an open world game. I remember calling out to the group we followed into a building, ended up deciding to try and be peaceful,

      I remember stepping out through a window onto a roof meeting 2 others, I was with another who i cannot remember the detail of. I had my gun down, but one of them saw fit to keep a laser on my head, they even closed the distance and kept their aim right on me..... their eyes wide, serious.... it was a bit much and I just lost all sense of safety, like at any second they could pull the trigger and end me..... so i quickly shot the one aimed with laser down, i think the other took off.

    4. Starting to Keep a consistent Sleep Schedule

      by , 08-06-2014 at 07:22 PM (One Up Seeker)
      Im starting to form a consistent sleep schedule, so my recall should stay consistent as well and it will become easier to lucid.
      Anywho, here are my dreams from last night. I will now try to put my dreams in order from those which happened first to those which happened last.

      1. I was with my class, and we were walking next to a really large body of water, maybe an ocean? The water was almost a teal color, with green being the more dominant in the mixture. I somehow got into the water and realized,"Wow this is about 15-20 feet deep". I tried swimming back up, but I couldn't. There I was, under almost 20 feet of water, not being able to surface. I got really uneasy, but not enough to know that I was about to die. I stood at the bottom of this body of water, trying to figure out a way to get out.
      I was running out of breath, and about to drown. Soon, my body was out of oxygen and I had to breathe. I breathed in ocean water. I could breathe! But I had a lot of difficulty breathing, but none the less it was happening. I became semi-lucid but at this point I still had a little fear in me for some reason. At this point, the dream ended.

      2. It was really cold, and me and a couple of friends were hanging outside, next to an almost frozen river. My friends Ryan, Jared, and Brittany were with me, and even a few other friends that I dont remember. We were about to head into this half frozen river, but we were waiting on a group of people ahead of us to cross it first. It was like some kind of course that we were completing.
      Once the other group made it across, we started on our way. I remember everyone being in canoes, but we wouldn't be able to use them right because of the fact of how the river was almost frozen. Ice was forming on the surface. I got out of my canoe and got on a platform of rocks that had a level surface. I was the only one in front, everyone else was behind me. I dived into the water and starting swimming. I could feel the ice cold water around my body as I broke through the ice on the surface.
      The ice was still thin though, so I could break it pretty easily, almost effortless. I continued swimming but I had alot of trouble(Im not a good swimmer in real life). I remember my friend ryan having broken legs or something and he was right behind me, swimming at the same pace. I gave it my all and kept pushing forward. Eventually I made it to the other side were an opening in some type of cave was. It wasnt a cave, but more like a small building crafted into the side of this mountain/giant rock. I climbed out of the water and grabbed onto some rocks. I then climbed up onto the ledge of this building formation and proceeded inside.
      "Wow" I thought, "Im really bad at swimming and Im the first one here. My friend Ryan was close behind me and soon climbed up too, and I helped him get up inside and over the ledge. My god, he had something wrong with his leg and he made it to this room second. We waited on everyone else and while we did, I looked around the place. It looked like something out of Halo (a game). It was all silver/shiny gray on the walls and floor. There were a system of lines on the walls the went around the entire room.
      Our friends were approaching the building. Ryan had gotten some type of claw type things, which were blue, that could grab onto stuff. We attached these to the ledge and everyone started climbing up. It was like a grappling hook in a way.

      3. I was inside of a big grocery store. I was in the middle section of the store with my family. I "knew" that I had been to this grocery store multiple times so it was nothing unusual. The aisle we were on had snap backs on it, so I decided to take a look because I've been needing a new one for a while now. I saw a gray snap back which was the exact same size as my green snapback, and it had the one up mushroom on it from Mario as well. I also saw an exact replica of my old snapback, it was like a copy.
      I picked it up and compared it to my old hat, they were practically the same except for mine was dirty from years of wear and tear. I ended up picking out the grey one and asked my dad if I could get it. He said yes but he'd rather that I got a hat that was a mix of a hat with a beanie(you know, those beanies that have bills). I though about WHY I would need that, considering the fact we live in Texas and its almost never that cold here. I went to go look at these weird beanies and after a thorough inspection of them, I decided to ignore what my dad had told me. I tried one of the beanies on and looked in the mirror- I looked stupid. So I passed on getting a beanie and stayed with my gray hat.
      We started walking to the checkout and I think we went through it and bought my hat, but all I remember for sure was walking out and on the way passing some black guy. He told me that he was about to blow up the store. I just continued walking out, because I was leaving anyway. Me and my family got to "our: car, which was a REALLY small white compact sedan. It was SO small I have no idea how I fit inside, or even more- how we ALL fit inside. I got in the drivers seat because my mom told me I was driving.
      I put my seatbelt on and put the car in reverse after everyone got in. I then backed out and started driving towards the exit of the parking lot. As I put my foot on the brake, I realized that my foot could barely reach it, and that I had to stretch to get to it. Im not short, and being 5'10 I should've been able to reach it with no problem at all, and even then, this was a compact car so I dont see how this made sense. I then looked around and noticed that all of my mirrors were off and so I couldnt really see much of who was behind me. I remember stopping at a stop sign and that was the end.

      4. I was inside of a school library, and I had been here before. It was huge and there were really tall shelves with books in them(Ive always wanted to read a book in a dream just to see what happens). I went over to the middle section of the library were there were some rather short book shelves. My family was with me. I went to grab a book from the top shelf and to my luck, all of the books from the top shelf fell off and onto all of the other books.
      Fortunately, the books landed rather nicely and in a pile on top of other books, so it wasn't a complete mess. I didn't worry about it. However, an old man in what looked like his 60's or 70's came by and was furious about what I had done. He didn't work in the library, just a regular old dude. He came over to me and start blabbering off and complaining. I could tell he was really mad. The Librarian came over and told the old guy to calm down, and that it wasn't a big deal.
      Soon, he just walked away, but he was still mad. I continued looking at books and my mom was looking at some too. I remember walking around this school, but I forgot alot about that part.

      5. I was in someones back yard I think, and it was really swampy. The entire back yard was filled in about 3 inches of water all around. I had my vans on and had been walking around with my sister back there. I was still a little upset about my vans, but it was whatever. As we continued walking around, we encountered two rather large chickens. They were pretty hairy and were about 5 times bigger than the average chicken. They had sharp beaks too(Now that I think about it, they more resembled a giant turkey mixed with a vulture).
      They trotted their way towards me, and the bigger one started trying to attack me. I had a big object in my hand, so I used it to separate me and the turkey thing. This went on for about a minute or so, and after this the dream ended I think.

      6. I was inside of someones house, and the owner was throwing a party. It was all people my age, everyone was around 16, 17, or 18. Someone had brought in a new drug, one that I had never seen before or heard of. I went inside of the living room and watched an informational video about this drug, which alot of people in the house were on.
      As I watched the video, it described the effects of the drug, and what it did to the body. At one point in the video, the narrator said that the drug made whatever poop that you had in your body, swell up inside of your intestines. He also said it made you throw up poop as well- while it was inflated or whatever. This was the definite point where I decided I would pass on this drug and not do it.
      After the video ended, I walked around the house, just waiting for too see the effect the drug had on people who had taken it. As I expected, the people who took the drug, started throwing up their own poop. Other people started taking a crap in the middle of the floor, and their poop was bigger than a football(I know, this is really gross, but hey gotta record the dream lol). I remember coming across one dude with red hair, a little chunky. He was throwing up the worst, constantly hurling his own poop out of his body from both his mouth and his a**hole. It was really nasty, and I was really glad that I didn't take the drug.

    5. Gathering knowledge [06/08/14]

      by , 08-06-2014 at 06:45 PM (My lucid comeback!)
      No LDs yet but I can feel that the things I learn from ETWOLD will without any doubt yield a better insight in lucid dreaming. So far I'm on page 75 and I'm almost done with the WILD-chapter which has shed some light on things I didn't understand.

      1. What about me?

      I'm in my own room getting out of bed and I see some of my family walking around eating fries and I ask them where mine are. I get told to get my own, quickly I make my way to my sister's bedroom which suddenly is the place where an old man sells fries. He's not in the room when I'm looking around but somehow I find a small box that has fries in it. It's not a lot and I'm almost annoyed by the fact but I eat the little amount anyway.

      2. Run!

      I'm flying around somewhere in Austria and see a lot of people, a ton of them. They are with millions scattered in large groups throughout the whole region, on, around and at the base of the mountains. And there's a beast hunting them, it's bigfoot. The beast can run extremely fast and devours humans in their entirety, swallowing them like a sausage. Suddenly I'm on the ground and for some reason have the guts to go near it, it doesn't seem to be too smart as I can get quiet close without it even seeing me. But then it suddenly starts chasing me and my visions gets all red and stuff. Then I look down on myself and find out I'm actually a red T-rex...
      I'm back viewing everything from the air and see the beast heading up to the higher parts of the mountains where people have gathered. The people aren't very detailed and merely coloured dots from the clothing they wear. Suddenly I descent into a secret military bunker/HQ and I get a weird and at the same time comedic introduction to the team that has to locate and kill the beast. Suddenly it's time to begin the hunt and I see some soldiers getting into pods that will get them to the surface. When one soldiers gets of the pod on some floor of the base and another one wants to, the other one's elevator malfunction and he panicks in an extremely comedic way. He then gets crushed between the elevator and the floor which I don't see but I can hear the sound of flesh and bone being squeezed. I slightly start to question the fact if this is funny or not.


      3. Are you joking me?

      I have an FA and get out of bed without any DR, make my way down stairs where I find my mother cooking diner. She asks me if I still enjoy the work I put into my (lucid) dreaming and is worried because she thinks I might not be able to stop it. My sister joins the conversation and tells me it's something crazy people do, then they tell me I talked in my sleep. During this conversation I had my plate in my hand and my mother put vegetables and tuna on it, a piece of tuna fell in the vegetables and she put it back on my plate. I suddenly remember a passage of ETWOLD saying that we only sleeptalk/walk in the second phase of our sleep and thus while we're not fully dreaming yet. I tell this to them and also tell them I didn't remember any dreams this night, only darkness. This calmed them and I ate my diner, shortly after I woke up.

      At first when I woke up I only remembered the first two dreams but after following ETWOLD's advice of questioning yourself what you dreamed I suddenly remembered the third dream.

      You know, I decided to include a plan for next night each entry as this is suggested in the book and I think it will help with setting up my intentions. I will probably keep doing this until I get lucid frequent enough which is atleast 1 LD per night. Another reason why I decided to do this is because when I'm in bed I'm usually still thinking about what my strategy will be which keeps me awake and makes me feel uncertain about my chances.

      Plan for next night:

      -Auto-suggest waking up after dreams

      -Using the 'counting to sleep' technique as described in ETWOLD which is basicly an addition to DEILD

      -ARCHIEVE LUCIDITY

    6. Weird House Dream

      by , 08-06-2014 at 05:28 PM
      5/6 August

      I was in what i thought was my living room with 3 people who I don't know
      One girl who was very small was holding onto a metal hula hoop, shaped like a steering wheel or a "peace sign" and was being pulled by another girl around the room
      The third girl who was quite fat decided she wanted to get pulled along as well
      She dived down and grabbed the hoop
      The girl pulling it was able to pull it a few meters before she couldn't pull it more because of how heavy the big girl was
      The big girl was sad
      The little girl climbed inside a suitcase and said we were going to play hide and seek in here
      I automatically waited ten seconds then opened the suitcase and looked for her
      There was many zip pockets inside the suitcase
      After I opened a few a small arm popped out of one and threw a few cards at me
      She climbed out of the case
      I opened the room door and was upstairs
      My living room isn't upstairs, and this room was where my bedroom was
      I went down the stairs and sat on the sofa in the real living room
      My sister came in to the room with a bottle of water
      She sat down on the other sofa
      Once she had finished the bottle she throw at me
      I said "what the hell" and she said since i used the bottle first, it was my responsibility
      I actually did have a bottle in my real world room which i had filled up with water but there was no reason for my sister to have it
      I threw it back at her
      It went back and forth many times until i got very pissed off at her
      I walked over to her with the bottle in hand and said "if you don't Piss off, i will piss in this bottle and force you to drink it"
      I woke up immediately after that
      It was really out of character for me to make a threat so stupid, especially to my sister
      It was however very standard of my sister to try and blame things she was responsible for on other people

    7. Fake Weed Dream

      by , 08-06-2014 at 05:06 PM
      5/6 august

      Fake weed dream
      I was at my house i think by myself when i heard a knock at the door
      My friend James is there with Luke, who is also my friend
      He has a metal briefcase/ tray thing
      When he opened it it is filled with joints
      He offered Luke and me one, even though Luke was with him on his way to my house
      James is way too nice/pussy to do weed or distribute, and I have no intention of ever doing it
      Luke is the kind of kid to say he wants to do it but pussy's out when the opportunity comes
      I said i was scared my mum would find out
      James said it was fine and that i would never get caught
      I took it, thanked him and took it up to my room
      I got up to my room and placed it on my desk beside my computer
      I got a text from James telling me to come outside and meet him up beside the park
      When i left my house i realized i had taken a pencil and forgotten the joint
      I ran back upstairs and grabbed it
      When I got out my door Luke was standing there
      I was surprised how fast he had gotten back, because his house is at the other side of my area
      He told me he had smoked his joint and they didn't have real weed in them and didn't make him high
      I thought he was joking
      There was a blank here, but basically i ended up beside the park
      James was there and so was Luke
      I asked him if the joints were fake because Luke said they were
      He said Luke was lying and gave me a lighter
      I smoked the whole thing and never got high, nothing even happened
      Then i woke up

    8. "Wait, wtf?"

      by , 08-06-2014 at 05:02 PM (Threecat's Dreamtime)
      Good morning, Dreamviews. Lots of dreams and fragments last night, but in particular:

      2:33 AM: I am trying to win my ex-girlfriend back. I know she will be on a tour of this castle (she is thinking of buying it as a home) so I plan to be there as well and also take the tour. I am somehow under the impression that we planned to take this tour together, but when she shows up, she sees me and then looks away, as though she is pretending I am not there. She tells the guide she is here for her tour. I think about staying quiet and just leaving, but then decide to speak up. I tell the tour guide I would also like to take the tour. She seems uncomfortable now.

      We head up through the castle, until we finally get to a section with a garden walkway and a well. At this point, my ex's mom puts her hands under my shirt and rests them on my torso. Her hands are cold and I squirm. She tells me it feels like I have been working out. I assure her I haven't been She then comments to my ex that "she might as well hold hands with the guy who is trying to win her back." We hold hands, but I am now conscious of her crying quietly.
      Very odd dream, Dreamviews! Any ideas?

      9:52 AM: I am in my mom's dining room. My wife and one of her friends is here. A kid suddenly shows up. He looks a bit odd but I seemingly mistake him for a former coworker. We begin discussing a dream group. I tell him his brother has already signed up, and that he should as well. We talk a bit about lucid dreaming. He says "A girl I work with does that stuff."

      "Have you talked to her about it? I ask.

      "Nah, she is too thick," he replies.

      I ask him what he means. He then replies in a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, and then salutes me. I find this exceedingly odd, but don't want to be impolite. I ask him how he is enjoying his job. He tells me he has only been there a few weeks.

      "Aren't you still working for the zoo?" I ask.

      He now looks oddly at me. "Who do you think I am?" All of a sudden, I notice he is not my friend and I nose pinch.
      I can breathe, but all of a sudden, I go deaf! I am now uncertain of my status--is this a dream? I look at my hand: it is wobbly and weird, but when I look again, it is stable and normal. I show my hand to my wife, as though to say, "Look! What do you see??" She ignores me and continues her conversation. I decide to settle this once and for all. I set off down the hallway to find some text. However, I do so discreetly, so in the case that I am not dreaming, I don't act like a nut in front of everyone. I accidentally bump my wife's shoulder as I pass her and I wake up.

      So competition goers, I'm asking you guys: was I lucid? I wrote it down in my paper DJ as a lucid immediately upon waking, but I don't want to take advantage of the system! Let me know what you think!

    10. (August 6, 2014) strange series

      by , 08-06-2014 at 04:16 PM
      August 6, 2014

      My rating 4/5

      This dream I was mainly underground in a scary series of tunnel that was haunted by something. First, we would drop down into the tunnels going down an old rusty ladder down a square shaft in the ground. The ground had water covering mainly the middle of it, like a little stream formed, with the dirt closer to the walls that was not submerged. We began walking gown the tunnels, seeing strange things and more tunnels that branch off in different ways. I found an old alligator skeleton in a small dent in the walls, i eventually came across a room with a bunch of shirts in it and most of them had a creepy picture of an eye on them. Then i was instantly at the starting point of the tunnel again, walking through the maze of dirt and puddles, seeing strange mud formations, and finally making it back to the room with the shirts, this time they all had a picture of an eye and the all were facing one specific spot.

      + this dream is not all together in my head but it was a pretty cool setting, wish i could remember more. I was at an old castle at night, with a group of 2 people, and we were trying to defend ourselves from these strange birdlike creatures that were all over the castle grounds. Like being trapped in a haunted house except there are tons of evil live creatures trying to kill us. I remember the last part if it, being outside the main building but still within the outer walls of the castle. Fge castle was tall, had lots of gates, and faded yellow bricks with s little bit of green moss or something growing in the cracks of it. We are making our escape to the main gate but before we get there we see the bird/demon creatures. I take out a handmade arrow with a deer bone tip and we advance. The drop down and begin attacking, and i get one of them with the arrow by stabbing with it in my hand.

      +this dream i was going to the movies with my brother, and we get in the theater and take a seat, it is very dark in here. I don't remember the movie but after apparently is was done we got up and left

      + i was in a certain school setting I've been in a few times in my dreams before, and was walking around a room full of people trying to find one of my friends. The room had bright colors on the walls such as red,orange, and green, and the carpet was colorful too. My friend walked over to me and took out his guitar which had a weird shaped head on it, and he started playing it. Then i woke for good.

      Lucid

      Lucid #5 (DILD, FA #4)-"I don't have much visual recall right now, that's the problem," I said, continuing my conversation with a dc from the previous dream about my dry spell. I found that I had woken up in my bed. I do a nose plug and I can breathe! Yay! I get on the floor and start to crawl, trying to transform into a dog. I crawl to the glass door so I can see my refection. I'm not making any progress. I see a small cat behind me. Stupid cats! I turn around and bark at it, still trying to transform. It approaches me and bites me. I grab it's mouth shut and throw it around. We continue to fight for a bit before I wake up.

      This time, on the toilet at work. Barely even 2 minutes in, my mind started to drift all over to things I was doing earlier in the day. I was watching a video of some crazy mountain bikers riding down mountain spines and doing back flips off huge jumps on the mountain.

      Suddenly, it takes a turn into fiction, and I see the announcer before me speaking into the microphone as he looks at me through the camera. "Unfortunately, he killed his daughter..."

      The camera cuts to a mountain biker in mid-air half way through a back flip. He lands it a little rough, but no one seemed hurt. Then he becomes pregnant, and in the next moment, the baby girl is on the handle bars, and then flies off the bike in front of him from the force of the landing and hits the ground.

      Mid exclamation, "Holy Shi-" I wake up, still on the john.

      Maybe lasted about 10 seconds. Longest duration yet.
    13. Bat Bite, The Talking Stag, and Being a Dude (Semi-Lucid)

      by , 08-06-2014 at 02:26 PM (Krista's Dream Journal)
      Dream - Lucid

      I was in a very large room with many people. The walls were a cream color. We were singing in some sort of choir. I was standing towards the front, and turned around to look behind me. There were people ducking and screaming.
      "It's a bat!!" I heard someone scream.
      I then saw a bat swoop down behind me. I was trying to get away from it myself, when it landed on my hand and bit me. It left three small puncture wounds on my hand. I was panicking a bit, because I knew I needed to go to the hospital.

      There was more to this one, but I can't quite recall.


      ~

      I was working in a jewelry store. I went to open shop. I got there, and Rachel was there, too. Her parents owned the store (I worked for them at a coffee shop 7 years ago IWL). They were there as well.

      The store opened, and a girl I knew in high school, Amanda, came inside. I think she was returning something. I thought about it, and thought I had heard that her fiance' was dead. I didn't say anything to her, but approached her and gave her a hug. She didn't hug back or say anything, but I wasn't offended. I finished hugging her and walked the other direction.

      I then remembered that I had forgotten something at home. I asked Rachel's parents if I could run home and get it real quick. They said I could. I left the store.

      Then, I saw this scene of a stag in a beautiful forest. He was sitting in a tall grassy area. Sunlight was peeking through the treetops, and everything it touched shimmered. I then saw some glowing thing. I do not know what else to call it but that. It was a round shape and was glowing in faint rainbow colors, but you could mainly see white. There was another one in the back room of the jewelry store too. I think it also acted as a portal. Rachel touched it, and turned into a scarecrow. She could then approach the stag. She stroked his fur, and he let her.

      It then got to a point where I did the same thing. At first, I could see myself in third person being the scarecrow and approaching the stag. But then, it was first person, and I was stroking the stag's fur. At first, I was expecting him to run, but he didn't move a muscle. I started to speak with him. He spoke to me in a deep, male voice, talking about scarecrows and how we came to see him (he did not realize that all the scarecrows who had seen him were all different humans). We spoke of other things as well, though I can't remember.

      Eventually, I went back to the jewelry store.

      Then, I was shopping at a grocery store in the produce section. I was looking for grapefruit so I could eat it with my breakfast for a healthy kick. I saw these small fruits inside these circular holders, kind of like the ones cups are in at fast food restaurants. I went to pull one out, and it was cutting it into a square shape as I pulled it. I saw that it was a type of melon, so I decided I didn't want it. I went to put it back, but it wouldn't go back in now that it was cut; it kept sliding out. I then kept looking, and spotted a bigger white fruit in a similar holder, but I read the sign and saw it was cantaloupe. Ugh, why couldn't I find a grapefruit? Someone, a female I believe, came up to me and asked what I was looking for. I responded
      "A melon. No, a cantaloupe. No, a grapefruit."
      I think she showed them to me. I can't quite recall.


      ~

      I was laying in my room, but it was a part of a much different apartment than the one I'm living in currently; it actually seemed to be a mixture of my apartment and my dad's old practice. It had many rooms all lining the same hallway on either side. In fact, my old roommate, Cherie', still lived there. So did her boyfriend, Jeremiah. I was debating on whether or not I had time to get up and shower.

      I then got up, and walked into a bathroom (there were a few bathrooms in this apartment). Jeremiah was in the shower. I got in with him and started washing my hair. We were laughing and having a good time. I think I put my arms around his neck. I noticed that the water was kinda cold. I guess he liked showers the way my husband likes them. I didn't mind the cold much (though I do IWL).

      I then had to get out, I guess Cherie' was coming home and was going to shower with him. I had only washed my hair though, and still needed to shower more. I saw my reflection in a mirror of my hair. It was already dry, and looked very wavy and shiny. I figured I could get by with just shampooing my hair and it wouldn't be a big deal. I needed to wash my face, though. I couldn't get to my shower stuff anymore because Cherie' and Jeremiah were showering. So instead, I pretended that I had my bottle of face wash in my hand, and started to pump some on my finger. I felt nothing. I kept trying however; I put it on my face, rubbing it around. I felt it a little, but not much. It felt dry. Probably because it was.

      I then walked by another room, which was actually an office. I saw a computer on a desk in there. It had a flowery background. Now that I think about it, it really resembled my dad's old office, though the furniture was switched around. I saw my therapist in there. She smiled and closed the door. I guess she was working. I think the bathroom I normally used was in there. Crap.

      I then found myself showering in another bathroom in the apartment. I looked down and I was standing on a couch/lounge chair.

      Avatar? Whats urs about?-audrey-bella-navy-chaise-chair-42b87405-9e4b-431c-9c78-1f4776a1c8ee_320.jpg

      It looked similar to this, only it had two cushions instead of just the one, and had a curtain-type pattern on top of the navy blue.

      I watched the water hit the chair.

      I then was out of the shower, and approached a mirror in the bathroom. To my surprise, I was looking at the reflection of a young skinny guy with a white tank top on and short, dark dreads. I knew who I/he was in the dream. At this point, I became semi-lucid. I noticed that behind me, stood...me. When I moved in the mirror, the guy me moved, but the other me, the girl me, was moving of her own accord. This part was extremely vivid.

      I then turned around and saw Cherie' was there too, but she also was a guy! She looked similar to me. I knew who she was supposed to be as well. I said to her
      "I wonder if I have a penis."
      I looked down to look. I didn't see a bulge. I did notice I was standing in a white bathtub though. I then pulled open my basketball shorts and saw...my vagina. I even saw my birthmark on my belly that I have IWL. Boo. No penis for me.
      Cherie' then checked to see if she had one, and she did. She said, in her voice, I might add,
      "I do. It's long enough to impregnante someone!" I saw a glimpse of it. It was hard. Damn, son. She was right.


      Then, either I woke up, or lost my semi-lucidity.

      ~

      I slept super well last night, and I know there were more dreams, but I can't remember them all right now. I just kept thinking about how I needed to sleep more. I was dog tired.

    14. Distorted names

      by , 08-06-2014 at 02:18 PM
      Morning of August 6, 2014. Wednesday.



      I am in an undefined space (although seemingly aware I am “sleeping” in bed at one point in real time) contemplating a false memory of something I had supposedly just been watching on television earlier, perhaps the news, but I am not focused. There are a few names that come to mind with seemingly “real” associations, which also seems to be ongoing at one point even though I had not been up yet (or even fully awake) this morning.

      There seems to be a girl who is gambling relative to an important story, though I am not sure if it is a movie or relative to a documentary about a real person (possibly an actress, though) and for some reason I believe it is February through my distorted ongoing “memory” at a point where I am nearly awake. Over time, I am aware that the girl is quite well known as a supposed gambling celebrity (as if gambling were actually a type of entertainment for the public when either actors, actresses, or lesser known people do it). Her “real” name - that is, the name her parents gave her - is “Rollemtine”, which is a play on gambling (her parents apparently being known gamblers with possible celebrity status) and being born on Valentine’s Day, which does not make as much sense in reality as in the dream world. However, it may be related to fictional “reality television” - a show that just shows people gambling - which basically would not surprise me at all and of course even typical game shows of various themes as far back as the 1950s seem to “fit” at one point.

      After “knowing” of Rollemtine, and even being falsely aware that my two youngest sons had just been watching a cartoon featuring her character for whatever reason, I focus on some other distortions, one of them being “Valenstein” - Valenstein, of course, being the name of a monster created on Valentine’s Day or more likely a reference to a fictional neurosurgeon of that time, though that is likely another story and not complete in the false memory.

      Using Google, I was surprised to find there actually is an Elliot Valenstein who is “a professor emeritus of psychology and neuroscience”.

      Dreams are funny, though I found no reference to “Rollemtine”.

      I could have tagged this as postcognitive I guess, but I have decided not to since it is possible I saw the name at one point in the past.

    15. Competition Entry # 10

      by , 08-06-2014 at 01:59 PM
      I didn't tell about the second hypno-session I did, because I had included recall, and was graced with the worst recall of the comp the following night - but knowing as it usually takes a day or two to seemingly do something - I have to consider it has to do with now having one of the best recalls of the comp. Maybe not many more points - but the dream from which I woke up at last is so clear - I could write 2/3 pages about it, with all sorts of details. So much that I feel like procrastinating on it and hope, I won't for so long as to forget again.

      Dream #1: With two women, I know, and we are in preparation for a theatre show, getting into costume and make-up - and there's an obviously gay guy doing the ironing of a dress for me, and leaves the iron on too long and ruins it. He gets told off anyway - but I get a bit hysterical and holler at him - well - then everybody hates me, and I have to fall all over myself to apologize, the others are angry, he not so much. Actually he takes me to the side, and asks if I would like to take part in his pornography project. He gets out a smart-phone and shows me what he has in mind. I did dictate this dream - but I dictated - naa - won't describe this now, not that I don't delete it...
      As I thought - I still see it all in my inner eye - two guys, one woman and hopefully red paint. I'll leave the rest up to your dirty imagination.
      Ah - but that was it - don't know, how this would have gone on - but it didn't.

      Dream #2: I find on the street a very expensive but ugly looking watch and think about if I should just sell it or try to find the owner and maybe get a bit of money for bringing it back. There's a jewellery/watch shop directly on the corner. A friend tells me, I should bring it back, rather, and I do. When we bring it in, it is suddenly something else, something which unfolds and then is a funk receiver or something other secret-service like. They let it disappear instantly and we don't get money for our niceness, are supposed to leave - so the friend of mine steals another three watches. But when we look at them - they neither have special effects, nor do they look valuable. Tough luck...

      Dream #3: The old motive of moving into a flat - this time one with four rooms and four people already living there, but nobody seems to mind this, including me. It's set in a certain city, where I used to live for a while, and I can describe the house - something turn of last before last century, one side going out to the right middle of the city, the other side to the river, and there's a garden in front of that side. It's strange - on our level, like a balcony, second story. And in one scene I climb out the window to remove the excess snow there so we can see the river, and get stuck, and somebody has to rescue me from there. Then there is an older woman, maybe in her 50s, a bit on the crazy artist/late onset hippiness side, and she has a dog, which manifests out of a toy, hanging on the wall, and likes me a bit too much, won't leave my side. Also she loves knitted blankets and they are everywhere. There's the young gay guy from the prior dream there as well, with a depressed ex-boyfriend hanging out around him, to his displeasure, and another two woman live there. Most is about getting to know each other, showing each other things, like the toys, one woman creates and sells - nice little plastic figurines, which also form a puzzle for example. I tell them I will plant some datura stramonium on the balcony and they really love the idea! I have lots more little scenes - like me testing the sink, and finding it is not meant as kitchen sink, but some sort of old-style appliance, which nobody knows the original purpose of, and while trying to make coffee, I get to cleaning out the place, and it's not nice - in some sort of sieve I find what looks like rotting worms - I won't go further - but I know, how every cup and thing looked like, smelled etc. The gay guy was later wondering, if I might not be a man after all because he liked me - but nothing much comes of it. I'll stop it here - not patient enough.
