I was sitting in a chair, since there was a lot of people I assume I was in a mall with my family and it hits me that I am dreaming. As I am about to get up I was interrupted when the swat team bust in. I quickly started to flee the area and was bumping left and right in to a lot of DC's. Then this woman in a pink dress trips me and holds me down as she waits for the swat team to arrive. One of the officers apart of the swat team finds and approach me while holding a shotgun in his hands. I recklessly broke out of her grab and kick her on to the ground. That's when I felt the blow of the shotgun hit the side of my waist as I struggle to get out of range from the officer. I kept running as the environment change to the living room to where I can see and hear my mother telling m what was I doing. There was a television that seem to be the news broadcasting what I've been doing stating that I was wanted. I ran off to the back door and went outside to confirm it was sunny. I saw a dark red car and made a few attempts to get in to it intill I saw a huge white truck steering toward my direction. I tried to run again but I trip on to the road as I watch it coming closer the driver turns it all thhe way in to the house. I could still hear the sirens so I knew they would be here soon. My mother came out and told me to quickly get back inside the house. I said to relax it is just a dream as I jog back in to the house. I was going to explain to them that despite what the news says about me it's all not real but I lost lucidity. Eventually the environment changes to me being inside the bathroom. I tried to turn on the lights but it only created a little light I then proceeded to turn on the second light and another mini light appeared. That's when I woke up. Lucidity time 1 minute.

No' much - grrrr

Birdwatching fragment. Driving near my house and a pair Magpie flew over, past some trees. I was excited them being so close to my house (Magpies are scarce where I live, believe it or no'!!)

At an unfamiliar playpark with my son. Holding him whilst standing on the steps to the chute. It bordered a big wire fence. Through the fence was an expanse of grass. There was a crowd of people. A wee girl was standing there fixing me with a stare. My son gave her a wee wave. My wife called from somewhere 'This park must get awfy busy!' I turned around, the park was really tiny and there was a road junction just yards behind me. I said 'No I don't think so', noting that there was a complete lack of litter everywhere.

There's this vampire who went through a bit of a rock star phase in the 60s. During that time he had this assistant who would occasionally arrange for the vampire to wake up with one of his groupies locked in the same room. The vampire resents this. He compares it to throwing a live, venomous snake at someone - neither the snake nor the victim has any choice in the matter, the snake is used as a tool.

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

This woman, thoroughly soaked by the rain, just completely drenched, has just been put into the back seat of a car. The man who's just gotten out of the car and insisted she take it is now standing in the rain. After just a moment the woman gets out of the car again, makes this sort of exasperated sound, drapes her coat over his head to keep the rain off, and gets back in the car. The coat is thoroughly drenched so this does absolutely nothing to keep him dry, but he gets this big lopsided grin.

There's another guy standing in the rain with him, and my first impression - before the woman had gotten back out of the car - had been that the two men were enemies of some kind, but that the first guy was obliged to go along with him for something. But looking at the second guy again now, on second thought I'm thinking of him as a friend.

The scene changes to show the woman and that first guy again, parting at a rural train station sometime in the 1800s. I'm thinking about how during the scene in the rain, they hadn't remembered each other from this time. Part of immortality - it's important for them to forget every so often.

False awakening. I try to write down this past scene, and write that there were three different ways things could go for that pair in the rain. The best route for them is associated with fire.

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

I'm a man passing a large arched opening in a stone wall, and as I look at it I remember that someone had asked me to fetch something for him from down here. I hadn't intended to, but since I'm here anyway I might as well. I go inside, into an immense underground stone dome with a dirt floor. It's empty, and large enough that it's difficult to see the other walls, but I'm aware there will be a door off to the right leading to a place where things are stored. As I'm walking, I hear a voice accusing me of enjoying blood. I don't see a physical source of the voice, but I expect he'll show himself eventually. I sort of laugh at the accusation but otherwise ignore him and keep walking. The voice continues: "If you are one of the evil dogs, care to know as much as I do?"

Disney Tower Terror Mayhem (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This is a very weeeeeeeeeeeeeird dream... I tell ya! I haven't been watching any Disney movies lately, despite I love them... but haven't been watching them... so who knows where this comes from. In addition, I had a lot of struggle to write it down, I almost would fall asleep writing it, and might have written some with my eyes closed.

I entered a tower with a few friends, and each of the floors of the tower, had like an entire world, a world of Disney movies that's it.

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i...9_ACnrs1PTMc6D

I wanted to go to the highest floor and then, I appeared into a scenery that appeared to be Mulan. (I have not even watched Mulan, I just know the characters.) And a little red dragon asked me to help him from some emperor. I wanted to help him get out of there, but as I was trying to find a way out, suddenly some emperor started to follow me. Might be this one:







And I felt it was better to get my butt out of there for a reason. So I walked through some doors without success. For some reason, this small dragon started to breath fire everywhere, and I felt like the world world was going to consume, including myself, so I tried my best to flee and I finally walked through a door and got into the stairs of the tower.

As I ran down the stairs, the dragon was gone, too bad for him. I entered another door and I reached the world of The Little Mermaid. I was walking through this world (despite being underwater

It seems, that my challenge and lesson here was to keep the water within (I know this does not make a lot of sense.) So as I was exploring this world, I saw how the water was starting to vanish and I needed to make sure this world stayed full of water and save all the characters life. I did not see Ariel, but I did find Ursula, who was chanting a spell that was going to hurt me big time:







I considered it would be the best to just leave this place, as Ursula was really creeping me for some reason. It started to be hard for me to move, despite the fact I was walking, there was a very strong current that felt like a super strong wind and I had to struggle to be able to keep walking and quit the place.

As I reached a door and I exited this place, I felt the water coming out from the door, and getting into the "real world" where this tower was. I could also hear the sound of fire burning up the top floor of this tower, so I somehow ruined two Disney worlds already or I was unable to save them.

As I walked down the stairs, I heard sounds of angry soldiers, who were trying to find out what was going on with the Tower. I assumed they would blame me for everything, so I hided inside a closet, or what I thought it was a closet, when it was another door to another world instead,

This time, I found myself in Alice in Wonderland... like if I needed more madness! I was told by a voice that I needed to converse my sanity here. The world started to melt by itself and the very existancer of where I was, started to be a very weird experience. So weird that I do not recall what happened here.







The next thing I recall, was exiting this world, and the word itself where I was (The tower) started to suffer like distortions... like the reality was becoming more and more twisted here.

I ran downstairs to the ground floor and I saw some of my friends, who appeared to be happy, enjoying a great time with Aladdin and the Genie of the Lamp.







There were getting a party ready, and there was a huge table with a lot of settings. I started to feel that it could not be good that characters from Aladdin would be wandering around the tower, after all, each Disney movie world was locked behind a door and not wandering around the tower.

I was going to ask my friends what was going on, but then I saw Alice running freaking out and screaming and climbed a different set of stairs I did not see before. I figured that I left the Wonderland door open and things were getting even messier. I started to hear, "Off with their heads!!!!!!!!" In a very loud voice. I figured it would be the Queen of Hearts, mad for some stupid nonsense reason:







She was the last one I wanted to deal with, so I run through a third set of stairs I found, and I found myself on the top of another tower. As I looked outside the window, I could see a very cartoonish garden and I could hear lots of screams and threatening calls coming from the tower. I wanted to hide somewhere before I was spotted and I saw another tower, where the Queen of Hearts was messing up a drawer, looking for something or for someone. She was very angry.

I felt I was trapped in this tower and that if she decided to climb to it, I was going to die, as I had no way to scape. I figured what if I jumped through the window, even though probably not even my head would fit. A little after, I woke up.

I had one dream fragment where me and a group of people were complaining about something in a classroom, it was really hazy but that is all I remember. We seemed to be in some sort of trailer classroom and the desks were rearranged in a circle.

The second dream I was in some odd house but in the dream I knew it was my house. There was a big staircase leading up to an outside porch except with a screen for a wall like a screen. My neighbors wife was asking me to show her a bunch of stuff including my laptop and I said it was kind of private, then for some reason she kept persisting and she was in my basement, on the way to my laptop all the way in the corner in a separate room, I saw a weird rubiks cube with strange lines going through it, as though it was a harder version than just a normal rubiks cube. I thought nah, I should just try to solve the normal version first before I try to solve this harder one. She tries to look at my laptop and thats when the dream is over.

Dream - Lucid

I was waking up in my bedroom in the middle of the night. I saw that next to me there was no nightstand, and another bed close by. Definitely a dream; I have a nightstand. I got up out of bed and went to go try to phase through a long floor-to-ceiling window. Outside, I could see that it was actually a cloudy morning, not nighttime; I saw little slivers of light. I tried to go through the window, but instead of me going through it, it felt solid, and rose up out of its fixture and went outside with me. It looked kind of like a garage door would look like as it was opening. Wow, I bet this looked silly to my husband, who was in bed still.

Speaking of my husband, I could faintly hear his snoring coming from waking life, and woke up.

~

I went back to sleep, and was again aware that I was dreaming. I got up out of bed and went to try phasing again. I approached a wall. This time, I focused on simply phasing through. I don't know how else to put it, but really, that's all I had to do was think that "This wall isn't solid", basically. It worked, and I emerged in what looked like an alleyway at first with lots of dressers and chests of drawers of all different types and wood colors. They looked old. The wall in this alley was a soft olive green color with a black border on the top. Instead of an alleyway though, it started to feel more like a big room. I approached a dresser, and really started to focus on my surroundings, taking in the color and vowing to remember it. The dresser I approached had something attached to it that had lots of small drawers and doors, kind of like a jewelry box. I started to open some up to see what was inside. I wasn't finding anything. Some of the drawers and doors were to high for me to reach, so I decided to try to make myself taller. I thought to myself I would be taller, and I started to rise. It almost felt like I was levitating, not growing, but nonetheless, it worked! I opened a small door and saw what looked like a small shadow box with some figurines in it. I remember a miniature white teddy bear and some furniture, but nothing else.

Again, I started to hear my husband's snores, and I woke up.

~

The snores got so bad that I had to move to the other room to sleep more, so that's what I did.

I then was dreaming of something that had to do with these big dogs I had. It's really hard to explain because it seems very abstract and jumbled in my mind. I feel like the dog care taking was kind of video game-esque. I had to go get something for the dogs. I went to Kohl's to get it. I was going up to some registers that don't exist IWL. I didn't recognize any of the employees there. I wondered where David was; he's normally up there all the time. I then approached a desk, I suppose it was the service desk, but it was round and in the middle of the store. Two boys were at it, one that had curly hair. They said whatever I was doing would take 15 minutes. Alright, that's fine. I waited. I do not remember what I got or if I even got it.

At one point, I remember one of the dogs loving me a lot for something I did.

~

I was at my brother's wedding reception. Something about maybe Dallas and I's wedding too? It was in this place that had lots of pathways and slopes, kind of like a hiking trail. I remember seeing my brother and his fiance' after the ceremony. I also remember thinking to myself I guess they decided to get married early instead of in December.

I talked to a lady about some food there. I was helping to serve the food. She wanted white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. I went to grab her some out of this plastic container with drawers, but then realized that there was another container of fresher cookies nearby. I went to grab one. She was trying to grab one out of the drawer container. I asked if she wanted that one or the other one. I think she took one of each, or two of the old ones. I can't quite recall. My brother's fiance' got cookies as well, the old ones.

Then, I was talking to an older lady with short, straight hair about a hair stylist. She was telling me she had expected me to leave her the name of someone that I recommended in the city I live in, and I hadn't, and if I could please do so. I wanted to tell her it wasn't my responsibility to find her a hair stylist, but whatever, I wrote down the name of a girl that I used to work with at Kohl's who does hair.

Then, something about someone Dallas used to work with at his old job. It looked like the job, which resembled apartments or a beach resort, was overlooking a beach, but the "ocean", upon further inspection, was just a really long pond that would fill when it rained. I saw where the pond ended. Dallas was shushing me when I was talking about something to this person because of someone at that job, his boss or something, could hear me.

Dream

I'm at a UFC event, watching Uriah Faber fighting an unknown person. Both fighters are grappling and Uriah gets the better of the exchange and wins the fight. There's a bit of a story behind the two. They're both in the marine corp and they both wanted to see who was the tougher marine. I think they had fought before and had a bit of mutual respect for one another, but still didn't like one another.

Uriah is getting interviewed in the cage after the fight. He tells the reporter that his opponent has grown on him. I think he even started liking the guy.
They now interview the opponent and he doesn't hold back with his words. He tries to bring down Uriah by mentioning that he used to fight in fixed fights. Uriah responds and tells him that it was a common thing back in the day. The crowd find it disrespectful of the opponent to say such a thing after a fight, and majority of the people (myself included) on the floor area closest to the cage, leave the arena to show support to Uriah. I don't leave the arena but take a seat near the back. I see my brother and he's talking to a female that's got a sleeve tattoo on her arm. I think he knows this girl. She has a unique style of tattoos on her. Brother gets a marker and begins placing dots on her arms.
I start to intentionally annoy the man behind me. He talks back to me in another language and I ask him what that even means. His buddy sticks up for him starts having a to at me, talking in another language also. I could figure out a few words, which were stop it. I listen to him and agree to stop what I was doing.
I look to my left and notice that there's a cafeteria with fruits and vegetables.

I make my way back towards the front of the arena where the seats are still empty. I take advantage of this and choose any seat I like. I try a seat but find it's a little too close to the action. I notice my brother and Daryl are with me and they are pretty happy with the seats.
I ask some people around me if these seats are reserved and they say yes.

A female likes me, and says she will call me. At first I was f sure if she was meaning that I was going to call her or she call me.

Dream fragment

Josh says he's taking a girl out on a date.

This is all I can remember from last sleep I had (my sleep cycle has been pretty much wrecked this last week or so).

I was watching the news, and the news reader was saying something about another dimension, and how people who went into this dimension can no longer come back, and the problem of this dimension becoming avaliable to people who might be vunerable to going into it. Then I was in space, this is very different as I hardly ever dream about being in space. But I saw a giant fireball like planet. And there was 2 women who were I think thai or chinese, and they were clinging to this fireball planet that was glowing and they were worshiping it and trying to get into this other dimension. I got the impression they were very lost people. The news reader was still narrating this and saying "these two will never be able to see the light" or something to that effect. In essence they were drawn to this dimensional trap, and it was very difficult to get into this dimension they were so keen to get into, but once they did, they couldn't come back because it was a dimension without God. Or something like this. It was kind of creepy sort of dream. I hope to have something more positive or some lucids soon.

I'm putting these dreams in out of order because I like to put lucid dreams last. I actually had the lucid dream at around 1:30 in the morning, and this non-lucid upon awakening.

So I am in/watching a Kung-Fu movie. The dream is periodically glitching between having the main character be autonomous and it being me. That said the main character looks a little like Bruce Lee crossed with my typical dream self. (Bicolored eyes and goggles).
Anyways, I remember talking to a sensei (Not the person from DV, just a typical sensei character in a kung fu movie.) He was glitching too. He sometimes looked like the typical sensei character with long white hair and a beard. But at other points he looked like this very fat rat type creature.
Anyways, apparently my character had disowned many teachers before this one for various reasons and was happy that he had found one that conformed best to his teaching style.
Back to watching it. We were training together, both of us standing on the rocks in the middle of a huge rushing river, doing synchronized movements. There are huge mountains off in the distance.

There is a part in the movie where this boy and my WL parents came to visit us. The boy was supposedly six despite being about 5'10" and 200 pounds. He had some kind of growth disorder. Also, at this point we were training on a tropical beach.

Now the climax of the story. The character that I am supposed to defeat is this demon. It kind of looks like the golem that appeared in that dream a couple nights ago, and has red vines wrapped around its body, and is made of dark stone pieces. But this one is much smaller, like 10-12 feet tall.
Also we were fighting in a very strange location, some kind of birthday party for one of the secondary characters. Nobody ran away from the party. They all made a big circle around the two of us and started taking pictures/video with their phones.
I think this was actually my second time fighting him. The first time, my character had lost, horribly. He had bloody bandages all over his body from where the vines had hit him during the first battle, and the atmosphere just felt like that of a rematch.
I am watching once more. The character then closes his eyes and begins 'feeling' where all the vines are going to come from. He then strikes them and knocks them away. Some of them even rip apart and become unusable. It was a remarkably exciting scene and there was some epic Chinese drum music playing while it was happening. He eventually runs at the golem and begins fighting it directly.

Very odd way of the dream starting. I start to feel someone rubbing my feet and the dream begins to materialize with that.
So for some reason the dream has decided to materialize like so: I am in a huge mall or food court where there are a ton of people of all different ages, races, ethnicity, etc. There is no more seating available because of the crowd, so we are now sitting propped against the wall.
And Manei is there, rubbing my feet. Okay, I officially have the weirdest dream guide possible to think: I want the dream to start with me rubbing his feet in some random public place and then we can start talking.
So lucidity comes on after like ten whole minutes and some very strange dream glitches occur that I can't recall now.
I turn to her and ask this, knowing that I will get an interesting response.
"Your hands are so soft! What do you use?"
"Tomato Juice!"
"You took a bath in tomato juice?"
"Yeah!"
I pause for a moment.
"Okay, time to do one of the lucid tasks, if I can remember it..."
I try to recall a lucid task. I recall what I think was one of the old ones, to ask a dream character to tell you a word in another language and it's meaning.
"Tell me a word in your language and it's meaning."
"Okay... Vveven! It means god is above. God is love. I love god."
"You know I'm atheist... right?"
"I know. I'm telling you the word. Not what to believe."
Can I get wings for this?
I get up and indicate that she could follow if she wants to. I want to leave the crowded area.

Then there is a strange dream glitch. I become nonlucid and see this game set up to be played in the middle of the public place. The game is called 'F**k off, Rabbit!" and you play it with a pack of colored markers and all of these different coloring pages. I don't know how, but it has something to do with the drawing of a rabbit is hidden in each of the coloring pages, and the game is supposed to be very hard.

I am lucid one more, and still walking out of the place. I look around to find Manei and see her melting into the crowd. Okay, not following. I get outside where there is a vast, clear twilight sky. The dream slowly shifts from the exterior of the mall to my own neighborhood.
Although the sun is setting in my neighborhood, it feels more like the wee hours of the morning. The moon is rising where the sun should be. The moon also looks huge.
It is cold. It must be spring or fall. Not horribly cold, but quite brisk none the less.
I get about halfway down the street and stop. Someone drives past me in a sliver car and looks at me strange.
Time to do some flying.
I put my hands down to my side, and project my energy out, the way I always fly.
Nothing seems to be happening. I can feel my weight starting to come off of my legs.
I then tried to Jump to start the flying up. I jumped up and floated in the air for a second. Tried projecting out of my hands and felt the flying 'catch' and I was off. I also remember seeing my shadow on the pavement. I think this is the first time I have ever noticed a shadow during a dream.
I said something like 'Heck Yeah!' and flew over the tops of some houses. I went above the woods behind my sub and turned to look back at it. I was thinking that I might try to fly into outer space.
Now, a foot massage: weird. A tomato juice bath: weird. But this takes the cake. I turn around to see it and the dream freezes. I lose a ton of clarity and the the image of my neighborhood from above is frozen in front of me. But the strange thing is, my neighborhood is not there at all. Just a blurry black void surrounded by trees.
The image of my neighborhood pulls back. It becomes evident that it is like a large photograph printed on a sheet of paper. I am now hovering in an empty black void, because the visual of the world has been compressed into this picture. Then, the photograph folds all origami up into a face. I am not kidding, and becomes a floating head that starts talking to me. The dream was literally talking to me.
"Hey, Woah!, Sorry! I don't know what your sub looks like from above."
"Sorry."
"Not your fault. I was the one who didn't know what it looked like."

The dream glitches agian. I am looking at this space station in orbit above earth. Apparently the moon was so huge in that dream because it was falling to earth and about to impact it, and that space station was supposed to monitor the event as it happened.
I can recall the space station having this strange glass pod one one side that I was very focused on for some reason. It looked like some kind of escape pod.
It was at this point that I realized that I was still dreaming and woke myself up because I wanted to make sure that I recalled the lucid dream.

Oh, sure. My subconcious can't show me what my sub looks like when I fly above it, but it sure loves to show me what the moon looks like impacting earth and designing these random space stations.

9.5.14 Friday

Last night bed 11:35 - 4:40

Watched 2 episodes of Spartacus - Blood and Sand - just before bed

I'm in this facility. It'a a military camp and some kind of a spa type of a place at the same time. I think the camp is there, coz this is post-war and we took it as ours.

I'm a recruit, something about my training t-shirts. I'm walking around the grounds and there are columns and shallow pools like the house in the tv show.

Part 1: http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/kaizen/aliens-attack-airport-pt1-%2Alucid-totm-60493/

Part 2

After completing the TOTM I survey the dreamscape once more.
In the center of the passage stood a large rectangular digital map encased in an aluminium frame.
My mother and I walked towards it for closer inspection.
The map displayed the architectural layout of the airport as well as the surrounding city. I touched the brightly lit display screen and it moved into a vibrant 3 dimensional animation.
The animation depicted the progressive spread of the hostile alien invasion, (shown as a red cloud, slowly engulfing the city)
It then displayed a future prediction of the invasion, and I came to the abrupt realization that there would be no place to run.
My mothers expression was soon converted from a content smile to a worried frown.
"Not to worry mom, we can FLY!"i exclaimed with a cheeky grim on my face.
I grabbed her by the shoulders and we soared swiftly down the passage into the large high ceilinged convenience store.
Over the rows of endless isles we floated until my mother started to wriggle around and punch me lightly in the chest, clearly wanting to be let down.
I complied and let her go on her independent path, knowing that she was merely a small reflective facet of my subconscious.

I decided to initiate a meditation practice. I sat with my legs crossed in an upright lotus position,shoulders relaxed with the hindside of my hand resting on my knees in mudra (pointer finger and thumb touching each other lightly).
I close my eyes and began to concentrate on my breath, which felt abnormally long and stretched out.
Suddenly, I begin to feel my body levitate above the ground...ascending slowly until it reached a point where my sense of proprioception felt a constant hover.

"Wow..this is awesome!"I catch myself thinking, and as the thought entered my mind I feel as though I'm falling...now from a lofty height.
The feeling of gravity sucking me downward manifests itself as a heavy writhing feeling in my stomach...one we all know too well.
I instinctively open my eyes to an all encompassing pitch black abyss.
My body then feels as if its lurched back into my waking like body in bed,except my bed feels like its tilted at a 45 degree angle toward my head.
"False awakening..."i think to myself...and continue to maintain awareness for several minutes in the the pitch dark.
strange geometric forms and patterns begin to morph and mutate in the darkness and the next thing I know I find myself in a suburban street lined with cars.(DEILD? not sure as I have never had one)


I think I may have lost some lucidity thereafter as my recall becomes scattered and fragmented.
I vaguely remember an old friend from Goa,India doing a contact ball performance. He had 4 arms and was juggling the 3 balls in each four hands while blowing fire.
Quite the spectacle.
I also remember an erotic scene involving me and an old English girlfriend.She was dressed in a seductive tribal leather costume.
The scene went weird when she started to grow a beard during our escapades and I swiftly ran away.
Haha

On the face of it, last night should have been set fair for a good haul of dreams. But, all I got was one. Am I despondent? No...and I'll tell you why.

I really worked at ADA yesterday and I had a spiritually uplifting walk around a coastal area, working at awareness and doing some deep thinking about my place in the Universe (3rd star on the right, 3rd rock from the sun, just to the left of that tree by the river)

I read about experiments with choline + caffeine for memory recall:-

The effect of caffeine and choline on short term memory -- Nagrecha et al. 25 (1): 797.3 -- The FASEB Journal

I Googled and worked out that it required a weak coffee with half a teaspoon of instant granules but the choline? I use Super Choline ( 250mg +253mg vitamin B5) and they're talking about 2 grams? (8 tablets) I don't think so....I took 2. (and still felt very slightly wired)

1.00
A fairly long, almost film noir piece. Someone who seemed to be a head warden and "us" (the others) were clearly at loggerheads with much rushing about all over the place. There was a palpable air of violence (Oh no...not again) He was clearly up for it and seemed to be relishing the prospect of it all kicking off.

There was a distinct touch of a homosexual interlude (Oh no...not again) then I came at him wielding what looked like a really lethal croquet mallet (which morphed into a spindly little wooden thing...no...not Miley Cyrus)

Last time I was wired there were "gay" intimations. I'm as butch as the next guy and I wouldn't climb over Sofia Vergara to get to Brad Pitt. Maybe being wired just brings out my feminine side. So, an anti-climax of a night.

Review so far. I've been using Dream Views on 2 occasions (both times logging a few dreams before I signed up)

I've been back logging dreams for 31 days and logged 25 dreams (not counting a few fragments I didn't bother with)
On the first occasion it took me 101 days before I had my first LD and I'd logged 31 dreams in the first 31 days.

So...no cause for despondency. I'm just old and it takes me a while to get there but I'll get there (and I may not get there with you...hold on...wrong speech again)

it's also noticeable that I did it without choline etc. Mind you, I was taking beetroot tablets. I wonder if they'd take my choline back in part exchange?

Morning of September 5, 2014. Friday.



There is a brief scene that a rather unusual and thin version of Johnny Cash is in my kitchen in the house on Stadcor Street in Brisbane. He does not talk or do much of anything and mostly stands near the wall facing a fictional counter that is perpendicular to the one in reality (dreams seem to shift and mirror things like this quite often). Someone seems to understand that he is supposed to be dead but there is no further unusual conversation and my dream slowly shifts into focus on a different (unknown) male named John. My dream becomes a typical meandering composite and is mostly impersonal.

There is apparently an incidental invisible doorway into another dimension or alternate parallel world near the central area of a mostly featureless open area in a large park, where people play touch football informally and such. A male has accidentally come through this doorway and is slightly confused at the differences of this world compared to his and is not sure what he should do.

Meanwhile, coincidentally, another version of him in this world has gone to rob a bank and to hold hostages. He looks exactly the same as the other version from the other world. He has a mustache and a smaller beard like a goatee, and a five o'clock shadow on the sides of his face where he normally shaves.

The other version of the man decides to become a part of this world by doing some sort of Jewish ritual for some reason (religion does not seem to exist in the other world, and there also does not seem to be any differences in social status anywhere or larger conflicts). The person puts his hand on a book at a table with an unknown female while she says some unknown phrases and he then wears some sort of special ritualistic clothes including some sort of scarf with a Magden David that goes around his shoulders. (However, “Magden David” is distorted in-dream to “Magdalene David” - possibly implying Catholic nuances as well.) Apparently he wants to become a part of this world as well as still go back to his at times, though there is a concern about whether or not he will inform others of his kind about the invisible doorway.

Later, I am at the bank with the other male. I bravely go in to see what I can do to stop the bank robbery and hostage situation. He is seated at a desk, seemingly holding a gun to an older female, possibly a personnel director. I create a supposedly clever lie about the doppelgänger circumstances and inform him that he has a twin brother instead. He does not believe me at first (and I even mention something about a DNA test), but then the version of him from the other world shows up and the male from this world seems very moved by learning of this. He decides to turn himself in in discovering that he has a (fictional) “twin brother” (even though it is not a real genetic twin but an “alien” doppelgänger) and eventually seems quite happy and surprised about it. I do not feel guilty in any way about the deception. The other male does not know about the other world at all and accepts the “twin brother” situation.

00:00 Friday 2014-09-05

YET ANOTHER broken night, wife was involved in a traffic accident (very minor) and so with all the paperwork, etc., she didn't get home until 2am, I was so tired I couldn't sleep for a while.

02:00? bed time

09:45? got up to bathroom before recall, bad move, forgot tons of dream time. Lucky to recover this much given the circumstances of the night:

Big pizza night:

+ arranging toppings on pizza: your favorite toppings go in the middle, you leave a space for them and put them there, pepperoni is especially good to put there.

+ In some sort of store my attention is focused on a box on the floor, packaged in cardboard, I know inside this package is a book about computer VLSI design which I want, I open the packaging and take out the book to look at it, also a large transparent plastic sealed bag of approved frozen pizza toppings (looks like sausage & pepperoni) also comes out of the package. Some pizza toppings don't work: you can tell this by trying to cook the pizza with that topping and looking to see if the whole pizza turns black.

+ I turn a corner to the right and enter a room, and see immediately that there are workmen redecorating the kitchen counters, I see that the counters are MUCH deeper than before and approve strongly of this change: they extend out a longer distance from the wall now. There will be even enough room for everyone to put down their pizzas on the counter at a big pizza party. The workmen are in the process of covering the counters with a spongy cover material, they're trying to tape it at the base of the wall and stretch it over the counter surfaces. I wonder if this will work because the underlying texture of the counters is not flat, it's a 3d raised texture pattern, the covering will probably not ever sit flat, and may bunch up and tear, the workmen are not able yet to get this covering to sit flat.

+ (no pizza!) I'm painting a small bicycle in a bathroom with shiny reflective silver paint. I want to cover the entire bicycle so it's one solid stainless steel/silver looking bike. I also paint the handlebar basket, and I'm about to paint a stainless steel cup that goes in the basket but I look at it closely and determine it's already entirely the correct colour. I put the cup into the basket which is now attached again to the handlebars. I think about how much paint I need: probably just one (molecule?) think is enough this is a strong paint. I take the bike down off of the edge of the tub and see below me on the floor that about a dozen small/medium splotches of silver paint have dropped down on to the peach-colored rug/carpet. I should have used a drop cloth. Some guy (JD from N?) says "that's why I always use the spare seat" and I see an image of an upside down bucket.

Oh so much more , lots of dreaming in there, just beyond reach of recall. Dang it, really had to go to the bathroom upon waking, should have held it and done recall before getting up.

Well this shows you what college is doing to me. I came back after my English class around 5:00 today and sat down on the bed. 10 minutes later, I was zonked and started to doze off. There were a couple of wispy dreams that I tried to grab on to, but couldn't.

Upon being woken up by my roommate at around nine, I only recalled one fragment.
There were three black figures against a bluish background. Each one has glowing white eyes. The figure on the left is closest to me, and the figure on the right is farther away. The middle one looked to be a little like Manei with the hair and shape of the face, and I could feel her energy, though vaguely. I think the figure on the right has spiked hair.

WBTB time!
