Adventures in Florida
I'm seeing something about the Disney castle. It says it's the second most expensive building in the world. I just can't how that could be - unless maybe it's because it's made of 100% Legos. As the image zooms closer, I can see that it is in fact a lot shinier than I expected, probably because of all that Lego plastic. Wow, who know?

Now I'm in a nice car being driven somewhere. There's a woman I need to talk to, but I don't have her number. As I'm thinking about her, wondering how to contact her, she calls me. Unfortunately, the connection is terrible and I can't make out a word she's saying. I eventually try to yell to her that I'll just text her. Now we're pulling up to what looks like a nice hotel. I realize I forgot to text her, but it turns out she's waiting for me anyway, standing just outside the door under one of those funny curved awnings hotels like to use.

Now I'm inside the building, moving through a crowd. All of us are pretty well dressed. I see Chris and decide to talk to him, but since he's already heading in my general direction I just wait. Our eyes meet when he's a couple of people away from me and he comes closer, shakes my hand, and tells me that he can't talk now but he'll find me in a few minutes. Now I'm in another room, some kind of art gallery. The walls are a kind of golden color, as are the painting frames. I look at a few of the pictures, stopping to look at one in particular of a nice sailing ship being tossed by heavy seas. Chris comes in and I ask him about the woman. Specifically, I suspect that she has the power of teleportation, and think he'll know for sure. He confirms that she does have such powers, but that she can't use them on young children. I think that her abilities could come in very handy, because there are a couple of people I'm somehow responsible for that need to get from one side of Florida to the other, but I can't really take them because it's hours to Florida, hours from one side to the other, then hours back; and she could get them where they need to go in an eye-blink.

Now I'm walking outside with Chris in casual clothes. It's a beautiful day with a clear blue sky. We're on a sidewalk walking with the road to our right. Across the road I see an arid field, further on some garish buildings which I think are something like bathrooms / changing rooms, then a parking lot, then some apartment buildings. I comment that these buildings are even more ugly than normal Florida buildings (which are ugly enough). He's amused but makes no comment.

Now it's dusk. We're walking down a path towards a fence guarding the back of some kind of residential area. There's a gate in the fence at the end of the path, and as we get to it Chris gets annoyed with himself. The gate is locked with a padlock on the inside. He's got a key, but he's on the wrong side of the gate to get to the lock. He ends up having to climb the fence so he can open the gate for me. A groundskeeper sees him and starts heading our way, but when Chris shows he has a working key to the lock and explains that he accidentally left it locked this morning when he left, the groundskeeper is mollified and walks away. Now we're walking along a path between buildings headed for someone's residence.


Home improvement heist
I'm in a giant home improvement store looking at some stuff on an end-cap. Now I'm watching some guys walking through a deserted part of the store (possibly in the basement), guns drawn but pointing at the ground. They find a recessed area in another end-cap and open a hidden compartment in the back, but they're disappointed when it turns out to be empty. They realize the man in the wheelchair must have gotten there first and taken it, and that they'll have to track him down. Now the area they're in is near the checkout area. Someone hits a button expecting to call an elevator, but the entire floor - both their area and the checkout area - starts to rise upwards.

*I forgot exactly what you said to me in this dream but she said something to make me very upset.

I remember being in a car texting my gf about whether she had left for Rotorua. She texted back saying that her and her family left at night so that our daughter would be able to sleep in the car. The car I'm in is being driven by my parents and we're heading to Rotorua to give them emotional because their granddad is having an operation. We arrive in a dull grey looking town, my dad asks me something but I'm busy texting trying to find out if my gf has arrived or not.

Dream experience: 1
Dream awareness: 1

Pretty much the only dream I remember, every time I woke up I would start thinking about the book I'm reading O_O

It's the night, in a place full of small, long wood and paper houses, with dirt paths around them. The place is lit by paper lanterns hanging in trees. I'm following a young girl with long, flowing dark hairs. She's transporting a big barrel of sake, with a thick rituel cord warped around it. She's running from a whole sled of chinese and japanese spirits, I can see their shadows on the walls of the houses, pointy headed foxes, jumping parasol, dancing lantern, witches and ogres. She managed to reach a hole in the ground and throw the barrel in.
We're taken to a gigantic house, the woman in charge give us a room to clean. I open the door, it's dark inside, and the smell is horrible, decaying things in a dark, warm place, closed up for years. I gag and put a tissue on my mouth and nose, it's disgusting, but at least it's a dry rot, things turning to dust rather that slime. The girl with me starts filling garbage bin, but I notice another girl, in the room next door, strugling with a younger sibling. My fellow tells me that the younger sibling is mentaly deficient, and that's why they're struggling. I go back to cleaning, but she almost finished it. I pickup something from the previous occupant and unwarp it. It's a wooden sign, with "academy of cooking and baking, 1887" engraved on it. There's also a name, and I deduce that he was the previous candidate; this all thing is a sort of competition. I walk out of our room to another, and I meet up with this man, a chef. He's helping someone whip up a desert, and hand me a place. It's ice cream, with a syrup on it. The syrup is warm, dark chocolat with the faintest hint of coffee. I can't really pinpoint what the ice cream is. It's both sweet and savory, slighly nutty but more well rounded, in a crème anglaise base. It's delicious, the texture is wonderfull, rich without being cloying and creamy without feeling greasy.

Cloudy afternoon, it was cold and rainy. I went out of my house, and saw that someone was standing in my garden. It was a redhead woman, and she was naked. For some reason I had a feeling that I know her, so I went to talk with her. She was quite pretty. When I came closer to her, she said that she's grateful that I helped her, but she don't want others to know about that. I looked into her deep blue eyes, and then at her face. She smiled to me, and then kissed me. Next we made it in the garden.

Outside looked different, the clouds seemed to have morphed clouds into different shapes every minute. While this is happening, me and a couple of kids were in my neighborhood causing a bunch of random mischief. I was walking down the street to meet up with somebody, finished that, and I began walking toward another part of town when one of our friends decided to break something in a house. He runs out laughing and I turn to see Hey Arnold. We walk towards my house and we notice the clouds changing colors and morphing into star shapes, cartoon heads, and hearts. I still hear in the background my friends still doing random happenstance.

Next thing you know, we are in a large white stone mansion in a forest. The kids were still with me in different outfits and now there are two girls. A tall old lady comes in the lobby we were in, wearing a Sun hat and Victorian dress. Apparently we were held here for causing mayhem. She leaves and my friends began doing different and one even begins to smoke. I start looking around this beautiful stone palace a very obvious exit which is pretty much a gaping hole in the entrance, almost like door was put in. The old lady returns and tells us to knock it off but one of the girls run away at incredible speeds. The lady somehow catches her outside, while I walk down the stone steps. Its pretty much a forest.

I help the girl out and lady decides to try and smack me but I flip away. End of the dream.

Another dream of being in these houses which are very close together like a villa of sone sorts. There was this particular item that people wanted and a young lady which looked like a teacher, gave it to me. People groan and some go on the Fritz. A young girl comes up to me and kisses me out of nowhere and we began sexual intercourse on the spot for s few minutes. Turns out she wanted the item in exchange for it and she got it. I began walking and notice a fat guy and other people, even a dog, was chasing me. So I run accordingly.

I came across an item in a open house which looked like a stoplight remote. I pick it up and it activates and nothing. Until I continue to walk past my ex and apparently I changed in appearance to look more handsome to people. (Well then) we lock for a few seconds and I walk up some steps to which looked like her house. I turn around to notice my 2 drunk pals are trying to taker her somewhere without her consent, so I go and stop the commotion and they try to fight me.....so I beat them up and I take her hand and we walk inside her house.

I had a few LD's that were a combination of DILD, WILD, and WBTB.

The DILD was just any other dream, I'm not sure what triggered it, but I looked at my hands and I realized I was dreaming. I began to just ask to my dream "Who is my dream guide?" I received no answer. Everything got bright and I woke up.

I went to go back to sleep quickly, and I managed to get to the transition. I struggled to get through it, but when I did, I began to picture things, because I've learned that's very helpful when trying to get into the dream world. I usually just picture food, like a cheeseburger, or a slice of pizza.

The dream I ended up in was like a video game. I was playing as... something. I'm not even sure who or what it was. It was a 3D platformer. I was out in artificial nature, I heard music and everything. It was definitely a video game. Weird. I got distracted by the world I was in and tried to remember the name of the game. I can't remember it now, dammit.

My lucidity was lost a bit into the dream, but I still managed to have 2 more LD's.

I'll only update my dream journal now when I have either a lucid dream, or a really long and memorable non-lucid dream.

Or, any shorter dream, as long as it feels super important or significant for some reason.

[Notes]:
- Although the dream itself was stressful and sad, when I woke up I was immensely relieved after a few moments.
- First cohesive dream I've had in several days. All thanks to a good day and dream binging!

[Plot 1 begins]:
So I'm taking the SAT with a chemistry teacher. It's really informal, and we're talking about the questions when we got confused with them. I'm with a few other friends in the room (which seemed like a strange protrusion from H/A building). So we get to one of those questions and I decide I'll take a bathroom break. I get up and move into the empty hallways and I look over. There are these bunches of fire alarms grouped on the walls weirdly, and I notice that several of them have their plungers pulled (there were these strange toilet-plunger-like buttons that indicated if we were in a fire drill or not). Immediately I wondered if our sound wasn't working in this building.
So I take the chance (better safe than sorry, right?) and go and pull one all the way out and follow my SAT group to the outdoors. We end up in a place that's a strange mix of the school and my house's lower area. There, the teacher tells us that our SAT is cancelled now, and he shows us the scores we would have gotten through this cool UI. I learn that mine was better than my old one, but it wouldn't be counted because it was cancelled.
So we chill out outside and realize that they're going to do a witch hunt to try and find out who pulled the alarm, because there wasn't actually a fire.

[Plot 2 begins]:
I'm somewhere, and I've learned from my doctor that I only have less than 24 hours to live. There was something about driving through the forest... It's two thirty in the morning and I'm in my house. I'm wandering around trying to figure out what I should do. Should I send an email to all my contacts? Call J? Talk with my parents about my legacy? I scrambled around for a while trying to think.

[There's more to it, but it all fragmented...]

early waking: couldn't get beyond fragments, tried for a long time, forgot by morning . Should have recorded briefly

+ [basically epic except for not perfect recall, multiple chapters, long] Concerto concert.
I'm playing in an orchestra concert in which I'm playing a solo concerto. To start with, I am selecting between my instrument and the instrument of the 2nd chair player (I'm 1st chair). I pick up the 2nd's instrument at first and think I'll play using this one. Then I think that perhaps the key arrangement will be a bit unfamiliar and this may cause me to make mistakes.

I notice that a chunk near the top of the 2nd's instrument is loose and in fact has broken off in an uneven break. I'm trying to put it back together like a puzzle piece, it is not going back together.

I'm walking outside the stage and someone mentions me to hurry, everybody is seated and as I sit down we start immediately playing the first piece of the convert. The conductor is conducting a 4-4 pattern. At the beginning I have just rests, about 7-9 measures. Conductor switches to a 2 pattern at the same tempo. Then maybe to a 1 pattern. The other player (who is 1st and I'm 2nd this piece?) asks "is he in 1?" I have an important solo coming up but I've lost/unsure of the count. The other player is tentatively playing and the conductor isn't waving him/her off, so is he right? Am I missing my solo?

Sitting in either a hot tub or a circular couch with the 2nd chair player, who is now an older person [male/female not clear?] and is getting more and more angry and aggressive towards me. He lunges at me and I kick him backwards. (Is he mad thinking I broke his instrument?) He starts to yell and scream louder and louder, which distracts the audience. He threatens to axe me during the concert. I go back to the orchestra stands and find and axe and several other tools, which I get rid of.

I'm playing my instrument and it doesn't sound right. The sound is too flat and buzzy. Is something up with my <mouthpiece>? I take it apart and see a little bit of paper in the tube. Is is a message (threat) again from that crazy 2nd? I pull it out, and find other pieces of paper in there. The tube is now a large cone shape and I blow out all the paper.

I'm sitting at a piano on stage practicing my instrument and I look behind me and notice that the audience is starting to file in.

I'm standing off stage and the orchestra has started another piece without me. I'm trying to judge if I can enter and sit down and start playing but I don't find a good time to do this.

Someone (the crazy 2nd's parent?) has died. I've set up an open casket on the stage. The crazy 2nd wants to go and pay respects. I decide this is a bad idea. Then either me or me DO observing packs up the casket into a secure closed container within another container. The crazy 2nd comes and looks at the container and asks (to see?) but everyone is shuffled off.

The mother/wife of the deceased is walking down the aisle and sobbing hysterically. She comes up to the (standing body of the deceased?) and falls to her knees and leans forwards and leans her head up against the standing body. I think this is an unfortunate pose because the way she's arranged and her head is bobbing back and forth in the crotch of the standing body it looks like she's giving him a BJ.

[I never do get to play my concerto!]

+ "A hill" childhood memories

I'm riding in a car with people on suburban/city streets. I look to the left and "recognize" the stores, I now "know" where I am [true memories, place images false]. I start telling everybody that this is the area near A hill where I rode bikes with my cousin (did I ever ride my bike all the way from my home to his home? I can't remember clearly). I point out the park on the left as we drive by where we used to spend hours playing. There is a fenced in area on the left (court?) and an open field on the right, with trees in the background. It is closed/abandoned and the grass is all dry/dead, nobody's there. Then on the right we drive by another park. This one features a large, tall, 2-3 story huge sand box/structure. I "remember" playing in there, with my mother nearby [false]. As we circle around the right, I see inside a building on a wall a freaky beast. It is hanging on a wall, and it's mouth is separated from its face by a long cord about 1 yard long, the mouth is hanging down below the face. The mouth is vicious and full of sharp teeth and they whole thing is stained in a lot of blood.

A group of us are sitting down at a park table at this 2nd park. A woman/crone approaches us and offers me a piece of gum. I accept it, it is a small rectangular multi-colored/layered piece of gum, I wonder briefly if it came from her mouth but it is dry. I start chewing it. The crone starts speaking but my mother cuts her off and says only to talk if she's going to participate in our current conversation.

+ childhood home flood

I'm standing in the living room of my childhood home and looking out the windows. Instead of the normal view I see the house is surrounded by rushing water, and every time I look it seems the water level is increasing, getting closer and closer to the base of our windows. I run upstairs to my parent's bedroom, my mom and dad are asleep in bed. I wake them up "Mom! Dad!" and my mom says something like "oh dear God". My dad gets up and mentions that earlier he saw a large wall of water nearby moving slowly towards us. That must be the flood I think. I look out the window towards the city below us and now see the water has receded, but has left large lakes among the buildings below.

I go out onto an external patio [false], and look back towards where the patio off of my parent's bedroom is [true] and see it. I'm in the house and see an exit to the roof [false], and go out there. I'm trying to orient myself since I'm unfamiliar with the view from the roof, where's the front of the house, etc. I walk out onto the (flat) roof and I'm a bit concerned that this roof is not meant to walk on and I might fall through, there is a slight give to the roof and maybe a slight creaking. I step on something sharp and it sticks in my toe. It hurts a bit. I go back inside, I look down at it seems like a toothpick (orange?) at first, but I bend down and it seems instead to be a sharp end piece of a flattened drinking straw, I pull it out.

+ (f) I'm flying in the air around childhood home. I'm battling with a large demon/super being which is really angry and is transforming its face with large fangs and swearing at me.

+ I have a piece of raw steak (impaled on my thumb?) that I've brought to the kitchen to cook. It's not the best quality steak but it's not the worst. My family (wife?) seems annoyed by this little steak. I want to stack it on top of the cupboard with the rest of the steak. I think we could cook it and it would make a little snack.

+ (f) small kids, book store, need to buy school books?

+ close up (face right on console) view of an organist playing an organ. I hear all the pipes sound as he plays the keys. He's turning on and off different stops to change the octave of the notes played. I want him to play the low foot pedals and set it to the lowest notes. I ask him to show me exactly which stop control it is that sets the lowest octave of sound. He says it's (ironically) named the "soprano" stop, it sets a soprano (high) overtone but the main note is lowered.

Woman behind the wheel
It's daytime and I'm sitting in a car. There's a girl who is driving the car. She is still taking driving lessons. The male teacher is somehow sitting in the back and I'm sitting in the passenger's seat. I look at the mirrors and I feel like they aren't well adjusted, which would explain this girl's mediocre driving.

At one point she has to stop for a red light, but stops too late and crosses the line. She puts the car in reverse to go behind the line again. While she is still driving backwards the light already turns green and she goes forward again. At another moment we pass a zebra crossing and she lets a pedestrian go first.

Somewhere later I'm alone with her teacher, who tells me he is satisfied with her driving. I'm surprised by the fact that he's satisfied.

Fragments
» I walk into what seems my elementary school building. In front of me I see my old co-worker. I doubt for a moment if it's him, cause he looks skinnier. It turns out to be him. We make some work related small talk. A second co-worker joins in.

» Something about an argument between my mom and my little brother.

» I think there was something about a tram.

Little boy
I'm walking on some streets with a guy. It's already semi-dark. We talk about some stuff and he also asks me a question related to the police. Across the street are 3 boys, 12 years old at the most, standing in front of the small entrance of a shop. One of them is pressed against the wall and receives a punch to the head from another one. The 3rd one just stands there doing nothing. I go up to them to intervene. I'm in doubt about smacking this kid, cause he's still a kid. I don't remember if I ended up punching him, but both boys ran away. The kid that got punched is now even younger. He's really small. I think he's crying and I ask him if he's ok and where he lives. He points to the door next to the shop entrance. I knock or ring and his mom comes out. I explain the whole story. I'm in a low squatting position so I can give this kid a hug to comfort him. He walks inside. Hey my coat! Ow wait, I'm still wearing it myself. I'm still standing at the front door, which directly leads into the living room. The decoration is more what you'd expect from an elderly woman. There are also two cats. The woman is grateful and offers me her house for just €5. There won't be anyone here for a while, so I can housesit, provided I behave. I consider it. It's a bit closer to the city centre than my own house, but not by much. I tell her I would still have to get rid of my contract. I tell her that I know where to find her and I'll let her know.

This was a memorable dream because there was quite some detail in my conversation with the little boy, who was really sad. I waited too long with writing it down and lost details though

I spontaneously realize I'm loosing while being on some dark street within the city I've never been to. I see a couple of joggers approached me and I decide to speak with them. I get their attention and I asked them to stop. Then I go along to ask him questions on what they think about this city we find ourselves in. He then responded in kind of a annoying manner, well what do you think. I feel like a dream characters were put off from me so I decided to fly for them trying to impress them. I took off loading expecting just to soar above the ground at a reasonable distance then I found myself flying too high. Then out of fear I yelled back down to the ground now!

I instantly crashed into the ground suddenly. Almost instantly I found myself inside of the apartment complex with in the bedroom. I noticed there was someone trying to crawl through the window behind the shades in this freak me out. I started to run to the front door to escape but was ever approaching me. I managed to get out of the front door with some difficulty, looking back I realized the person crawling to the window once this young lady that appeared to be transparent. I then thought of my idea to ask my unconscious mind what is the best and most effective way for me to change the dream scene. After I stated this out loud everything faded and a image of a horse jumping through some kind of a obstacle course appeared. That I woke up.

Dream 1 - Eyeball in a jar
I remember being in a square room. I feel like the MC was a woman and I was seeing the dream in a spectator mode at some points. With me was an eyeball in a jar filled with transparent greenish liquid, and the eyeball would talk to me, we were on a journey together to save someone I think. A lot actually happened prior to reaching this room but I forgot most of it . I remember at some point something related to going to the toilet, yet it was played out as a comedy skit somehow. After that the dream returned to its previous more serious atmosphere. I placed the eyeball on a pedestal at the side of the room, we had spent ages trying to find this so we could activate it and save 'someone'. There was a kind of magical blue energy that came out of the pedestal that the eyeball used to teleport away and do something, when I spoke to him (the eyeball had a gender I guess) he told me that I had to make a choice. He was looking through a pair of goggles that were attached to the wall, and told me that to save the person I wanted to save, I had to sacrifice the lives of three others that could be seen through the goggles. I got up and looked at the goggles and moved to have a peak through them. I woke up at this point, but I recall that one of the three people was actually the person I was aiming to save, and they were tied up together by the same rope and were suspended in mid-air.

Dream fragment
I remember having a dream towards the end of the night where there was a person who had 1 eye. I figure this dream was like a prequel backstory to the 'eyeball in a jar' dream.

This is my first time posting here or even posting anything about my dreams. But I need help figuring out one of my dreams. I am usually good at figuring out my dreams and what they mean. But I guess that maybe because all the stress I currently have I can't figure it out, I am trying to move out of the island I live in and back to the states among other things. But my dreams are about the same person, and the dream is very specific. I buy a house in a col de sac which is surrounded by a family that has lived there for years, it so happens that the house I brought belongs to the grandson (which is the man I keep dreaming about) he is very nice, taller then me and I am 5 10, he has a beard, and long blondish/reddish hair. The dreams are always the same I meet him and as I am dreaming and even daydreaming, I have this strong feeling that I know this guy, but really know him! And yet every time that I say his name is like the part in kill bill where Beatrix Kiddo says her name and it beeps it out, well just like that. But I get this feeling that I know this guy very well, even enough to say in the dreams I fall for him, but yet I have NEVER seen him in my life. I am driving my self crazy trying to figure this out.

Quicker posting to avoid burdensome catch up later. Open Beta exercise 3A has been primary daytime exercise for the last ~10-14 days. Seems to generate more random lucidity with slightly lower awareness since I have been slacking on self-awareness work during the above-mentioned period.

11/19







DILD initiated by out of this world view from hotel room. Placebo or psychological, whatever, the dream healing was followed by relatively no back pain the next day which is unusual for me. Chose this primary goal instead of getting busy with any of the four women in the room.

11/18 DILD. Felt like I was catching LD from the beginning of REM period after brief trip to bathroom. I become lucid by the starkness of the room I find myself in.

11/17 DILD dream scenario initiated like yesterday. This time it was driving from back seat and having an odd view obstruction.

No G for 4 weeks.
