    1. The Crypt Keeper

      by , 02-15-2015 at 11:56 PM (Xanous' Dream Journal)
      #411 - DEILD - 5:13AM

      4AM WBTB, Galantamine/choline with peppermint tea.

      I wake slightly realizing I lost focus. For some reason I was pretty wired at WBTB and had a hard time getting settled. I don't recall dreaming, but focus on DEILD. I feet a familiar shift in my body almost on command and exit pretty quickly. For some reason I head to the bathroom to find a something like a really tall crypt keeper coming at me trying to bite my face.

      LDGuy's 3D Art-crypt-keeper.jpg

      I reflexively put a protective arm over myself and push away with the other. The room lights up and now I think of it more like a zombie. Fear starts to creep in but I remind myself that it's just my dream and the fear goes away. I remember how easy zombies are to kill in The Walking Dead so, I grab the thing with both hands and smash it's face into the mirror over the sink. I am shocked when I see neither one of us have a reflection. There was a definite face impact on something but it seems more like a window than a mirror. I look loser for a reflection and find two alternate versions of myself. On has a curly white-boy-fro and is standing in the door way. The other has long straight hair and is smiling at something in to the right that I can't see. I remember the Crypt Keeper and get back to mashing it's face into the mirror again. This time I really hope for a reflection and I see it now and, even though my reflection is absent, I am satisfied. I smash the thing one more time and see it's jaw drop away. I figure that has to be good enough and I have a strong desire to get out of this uncomfortable situation.

      I wander into the kitchen and find the rest of the house is way too dark. I try a light switch with no luck. I try snapping my fingers but I get a weird visual of my hands flapping around really fast in the darkness. I feel really rushed and worried that I am taking up too much time messing with stuff, but I remember Dreamers' time technique and calm myself. I have all the time in the world. I decide to just go outside now, but I'm still stuck on the idea of making light. I snap my fingers, but it just feels really weird. I try making a fire on my finger but nothing happens. I find myself at the door but when I try to open it, it's locked. I fumble with the deadbolt with little success until I remember how ridiculous it is to be worried about all that in a dream. I pull the door extra hard and there is a jolt and a pop like something broke and the doors opens.

      When I get to the porch I begin to float. It's a dull, grey, overcast day and the air feels extra cool. There is some silver colored van parked in my yard. I notice the tail lights are lit up so I decide to go investigate but my I can't seem to make myself float over. About the time I start struggling the van drives ways. Yell out at the driver as I return to the ground to run after it, but it's long gone now and I don't care enough to pursue. In the street, I see it's made of gravel rather than asphalt. I find this mildly interesting but mostly ignore it. I start to feel rushed again, but remind myself that there is plenty of time and not to worry about it. It helps some, but I know the dream time is limited and there's stuff I want to do.

      There is another car stopping in the street and I recall one goal. I want to see how far I can stretch my arms to grab something. I reach out at the car and my arms stretch out and snake around until I can feel something. It I may have reached about 20 feet out and grabbed the edge of the wheel well. It's an odd sensation and as I am experiencing this I ear a woman's voice close in my left ear. I reflexively forget about my arms and the car and spin around to see who's talking to me. To my surprise, I see no one.

      I walk down the street looking for the woman with out luck. While I'm doing this, I recall other goals. I think of the Pegasus TOTY but I feel like this dream world is really unstable. In fact, it feels really taxing trying to hold it all together. I recall another task, to see how running feels now that I have started to do so in waking life. I turn to start, but I see a woman walking across the street. She must be the one so I head over to her. I talk to her but my words feel jumbled and her reply makes no sense. I struggle to talk clearer, but about that time the dream fades into a dull white color.


      I open my eyes facing my wife's side of the bed. I see she has her cell phone on and the light from it must have woke me up. She has her phone partly under the cover like she is trying not to disturb me, but it's still really bright. I ask, "What are you doing?"
      She tells me, "Just... this."
      I think shes just being rude and I become really pissed off that she woke me out of a lucid dream. In a huff, I roll over to my other side jerking the covers and say in a loud whinny voice, "You woke me up! What the hell?"
      Then I realize something feels off. The sensation of rolling over was very dull and numb. This is a familiar effect of my dream body. Happy again I say, "I'm not awake!" I roll back over but end up on top of my wife. She has put her phone away, but for some reason I ask, "What was that anyway?"
      She replies, "I'll show you... hold on."
      Before I say or do anything else stupid, I go ahead and do a quick nose plug to make sure I am really dreaming. I feels redundant, but I enjoy the confirmation. Now I say, "You're not real."
      Then, my wife's face morphs into the Crypt Keeper from earlier and I bail. It's not that I am afraid, but I really don't want to deal with that nasty thing again.

      I recall my running task again as I head back to the front door. I start running while singing, "Run run run baaaby." When I get to the door, I wake up. This time for real.

    2. Police, party and puppy

      by , 02-15-2015 at 10:04 PM
      Nice and vivid dreams but no lucidity!

      I'm looking out a window in my house (not my house IRL), theres a courtyard. Some police are checking out the neighbours and stuff. I keep really quiet but the next thing I know, the police are in my house and taping off an area. I turn and walk down a brightly lit corridor with an old school friend. He says to me 'Time for a fag I think' and lights up. We end up somewhere with lots of water but I forget.

      Going to a birthday party for an old friend. Me and the wife stand at the door. I unroll a huge scroll. There are the details for the party on it. A couple of other people I know are on the invite but aren't with us. We go in. I'm suddenly carrying a huge big rusty black metal thing. The place looks like a gym hall. Theres a huge wooden bench down the wall, lots of people are sitting. I place the metal thing down and my wife sits. I pick up my son who is suddenly present and carry him through the hall. We end up in a cramped area. A lad I vaguely know is away to go through a glass door to a bar. He sees me and tells me hes a policeman now. His face is very lumpy. My son has now become a wee white puppy which starts to lick my face. Suddenly, I turn, my cousin is standing there in a kilt. He shakes my hand. We stand facing each other looking at each other for perhaps 30 seconds. I reckon the sheer boredom of the situation makes me wake up!!

    3. Moss-like pelts and an old gate

      by , 02-15-2015 at 09:31 PM
      A woman and I have been tracking some thieves who stole the animals that her people raise - creatures like elephants but smaller, and with a sort of moss-like fur that grows on their backs and the top of their heads. Now the trail I've been leading her through ends at a beach. We're too late. Their ship is gone. But I'm able to pick up a mental impression of it and relay it to her - the tigers that they stole are in cages, but those other creatures have already been killed. The thieves only wanted their pelts. She sits down in the sand and starts to cry.

      As we make our way back the way we came, over a mountain path, I'm attacked by some creature - it happens fairly often in this region and I take care of it easily, hitting it over the head with my staff and expecting it to run off again. She'd been hanging back before, but when she sees this she comes rushing over, though I don't think of that as necessary; she starts beating the creature, far beyond what's necessary. I stand back and watch.

      I'm a demon - the long sharp teeth and writhing cloud of darkness make it hard to miss - but as we make our way down the other side of the mountain, I'm watching her and thinking that the people who tell stories about today will take one look at her and assume that two demons came down from this mountain.

      (Woke up. Back to sleep.)

      I'm traveling through a dream with her, but at the moment we've come across an image of myself in the distant past, before I became a demon. I'd been speaking to a man dressed in armor standing in front of a sacred building, and that past version of me is saying something to the effect of, yes, I'd very much like to learn more about our people. It had been a rare opportunity - it was rare enough to meet another of my kind at all, but this was far beyond that, I'd jumped at the chance. I watch that past version of me follow the man in armor into the building.

      This isn't what I brought her here to show her, it's just one of my memories intruding on the dream. I intend to continue down the road we're on, to take her to our actual goal here - but she wants to see more of this memory. So that's what we do. We follow that past version of me into the building.

      Inside we're in a stone corridor; there's no sign of that past version of me or the man in armor. While the outside of the building had looked the way it had when it was new, the inside is a ruin from much later in my memories. But there's a few objects out of place, things that had been looted by the time it got to this point. I kneel down before one of them, a mirror made of bronze. I say to her, "It's a gate-"
    4. I really need the broccoli

      by , 02-15-2015 at 07:58 PM
      Date: 2/15/2015
      Method: MILD & WBTB
      Total sleep time: 6- 6 ˝ hours
      Recall: Pretty good!

      Short but vivid dream:
      I was in our local grocery store buying groceries (broccoli to be exact) and I did not have my debit card. I really needed this broccoli for some reason and I needed to call home for someone to bring me my debit card but I didn't have a phone either. I recall packing up the broccoli and putting it in my car like I was going to steal it...because I really needed the broccoli .

    5. Morning - Non-lucid

      by , 02-15-2015 at 07:17 PM (Dream Dream Dream Dream Dream Dream)
      HHUURGHHH
      being sick really makes it hard to have dreams that make sense

      Dream 1
      So I was in a Target or something similar. Apparently it was closer to the holidays, because I remember stumbling upon some great gingerbread cookies. This lady with kids bought the good ones that had frosting and let me try a piece of one and I was like heck yeah, this is what I want. But naturally she took the ones that had frosting, so now I was stuck with a couple that were made of soft gingerbread but didn't have frosting. But I was like NO BIG DEAL; I'll buy powdered sugar and make perfect frosting on my OWN. What do I need... sugar... powdered sugar? I guess I need food coloring... wait, don't we have food coloring? Also, it felt like the gingerbread cookies might've been a bit expensive, even though I was only getting two. (Also they were just laying out, no packaging or nothing, but I didn't really care about that.) I couldn't find the price tag, but the lady was like oh, they're only about 2.97 altogether (or something like that).

      Dream 2
      So... Ben and I were hanging out with a bunch of college-age girls, but we were all coloring with markers so that was pretty cool. One of the girls asked me to check whether any of the markers weren't working, and lo and behold, when I tested every single marker they all worked perfectly. I wasn't too excited about this, though, because my method of testing them was to draw a line with one, and then draw a slightly rotated line with the next one, and so forth all the way around the clock, but at some point I got confused as to how the angles were supposed to line up and I was just angry at that point.

      Then Ben and I got into a gunfight except the guns were actually pencils and it was confusing as heck because the pencil case I kept them in was another, larger pencil, with two compartments, and then it turned out that the pencils could also hold pencils inside them and I just got fricking lost in pencils while Ben was shooting sticky explosive clay at me and hitting me with it. It would get stuck to me and then start to swell up because it was about to explode and I'd be like frick, but I don't recall ever actually having parts of me exploding so I guess that was fine. Like, one time he shot it at me and it hit my knee and my hand, and I managed to get my hand free and then I just covered my face with my arms while I felt it swelling up on my knee. But it didn't explode I guess.

      Either way, I got annoyed enough with Ben to be like alright, Imma pull out my long-range gun and shoot back (I guess we were standing on two shops so he was actually far enough away to necessitate a long-range gun), and then I just got lost in my pencil case for a bit before I pulled out the right one, and by then I was apparently so annoyed that I just fired at him like it was no big deal at all. I might even have hit him. He seemed to be fine though.

      Back on the coloring frontier, I was coloring a picture of some fairies by a waterfall. I was like yo, this one fairy's already got greenish hair... guess I'll give her green skin. There was another dude in the picture who was already colored in with what looked like brown-red crayon. Whoever had done it had added some shading that actually made him look better. I took an appropriately colored marker and outlined the hair shading in neat swoops. I was a bit surprised myself by how well I did.

      And man idk what else.

    6. Black Cloak/ Deal/Phone Call

      by , 02-15-2015 at 06:07 PM
      Black Cloak

      I was inside a large school with Eye who was pulling me from one place to another. Looking around I recall seeing bathrooms and just after i was thinking of using it i saw a teacher i work with. She was surrounded by a lot of spirits and as soon as they saw me they started pushing and laughing as they taunted me.I could feel Eye protecting me until he faded away."Why are you all here!?" I asked them. "Because you wrote your address on the paper you signed!" someone replied back. I tried to push through the crowd of annoying spirits and managed to make it to a different setting. But than the dream shifted and i awoke in a room upstairs of my house. "
      Who would win between . . .-hoodedfigure_zps1c1ba74a.jpg
      I opened my eyes to see darkness and to my side was a creature in a black cloak.He was holding a black stick. I made him disappear though and made the lights come on.
      As I tried to get up the bed split apart and i noticed that i was laying down on two beds and a half a bed that was put together. I turned around after that and saw a scene unfolding of a baby luigi and mario. They were so cute.~ I woke up after that though.

      Deal

      I was with my cousin and other family members until i appeared in my room. A scary spirit like figure told me that it was going to cause calamity and that it was going to make my dad die of a bad sickness. Although I recall that earlier in the dream i was the one that was sick and needed to get better.I decided to make a deal with the spirit. That if i won it would leave everyone in my family alone and that if it won it could do whatever it wants. The spirit agreed to the challenge.It than transformed into a fly and told me that i had to kill it in order to win.Who would win between . . .-images.jpg I accepted the challenge and went to close the door. I noticed my dad standing outside my door like a statue and asked him " What are you doing just standing there!?" than pulled him inside and locked the door so i could face the enemy.I looked around carefully and noticed the fly and started chasing it. It was quick and for a moment i lost it. But than i found it and stomped on that sucker. " I win! Now you have to leave me and my family alone!"I said to it. It than changed into a anime girl and a portal with anime characters in it started to appear.
      Who would win between . . .-anime-girl.jpg The anime characters in the portal were talking about something related to different worlds. Than i turned around and the anime girl said something like Boogie down. Like it was a catch phrase from the 80s or 70s. I found it funny how quickly the mood changed and observed my surroundings till i woke up.


      Phone Call

      I was inside my home but it looked really different. My cousins who moved away were sleeping over and were just starting to look for breakfast. When i got into the kitchen i saw the orange juice bottle almost empty and got really mad at my cousin. I hit him with the bottle softly asking him what made him think he could drink all the orange juice in one day. He said it wasn't his fault and that it was nothing to be mad about. But i was still pretty mad at him.

      After that i think i was flinging food around and something about it triggered my lucidity. I decided that the next thing i wanted to do was use the phone to call Dawn. I managed to get an answer from him but i forgot what we talked about. After talking for a bit the call ended. I tried to call him back but only heard static and a lady saying something about a drama.

      The dream than shifted and i was now viewing a golden brown looking paper with lots of words written on it. A guy from dream-views was reading what he wrote on the paper about how accomplished he felt from all his lucid dreaming practice. He also said that he secretly wanted to thank JadeGreen for encouraging him to move on towards success and for the milk he gave him one day. I think he thanked a few other people too but i forgot the names and the small avatar pictures i saw when the paper was panning. I think Dreamer's avatar was there though.
      Who would win between . . .-mario-kart-8-announced-wii-u-190013-large.jpg
      The next thing i recall is i ended up in a large room filled with kids and a group of people playing instruments. I played Mario Kart with the kids than started listening to the group sing. The main singer guy sounded off key though. It made me want to laugh but i decided not to so i wouldn't upset the dc.
      Sadly, I lost lucidity after that and went to look for the teacher who was supposed to be watching the kids. I saw someone and told her about the missing teacher. She said that it was okay and to light a candle to calm the kids down. I didn't think it was a good solution to the problem since i had to leave soon so i said no and that i didn't remember how to light a candle. Than i woke up.

    7. EPIC birthday dream (its not my birthday)

      by , 02-15-2015 at 05:19 PM
      the following dream was non-lucid. However, it was very long and incredibly vivid. Lots of missed lucidity cues.

      It's my birthday. I am outdoors laying in some grass, looking up into a nice blue sky. My oldest daughter is running around the yard "chasing blue jays." Someone arrives for the party. I go inside and it is a woman, a friend of my wife's. She arrived in a purple 1980s Volvo station wagon without a hood. They talk for awhile then two guys arrive and set up stereo equipment and amplifiers. The both have bass guitars and are going to play bass solos for the party. I'm not really excited about this. The guy on the left is plugged into a stereo. He complains that "his wifi won't work." And hands his phone to someone else.
      A few more people arrive then we go to another location. On the way we have to stop and get some guy from Gar Drolma. We continue on at a Chinese/Indian restaurant where I am assuming the party is over. I look out a window and see a big silver Range Rover pull up. Ani Palmo ( western Buddhist nun/teacher) gets out. I am concerned because the party is really over and she arrived at the last minute. She comes in, her hair is now shoulder length, platinum blonde, she is wearing makeup. Weird I think. We hug and she doesn't want to let go, but it's just friendly so we end up re-hugging like 10 times. "Oh, we are going to do this i see." She says. Next she shows me a book that is a compendium of Bodhicharyaavatara materials, root text and several translated commentaries in a single volume. I look at it and can tell it's from Nanandabodhi. I tell her they have several of these huge sourcebooks, "one for Madhyamika, for example." Then I get in the food line. I get my arms all tangled?? With the arms of the woman behind me in line. She won't move back to let me get some of this dish I just passed up. "Ok, whatever." I say. Further down the line there is a dish that looks like rice with beef gravy on top. Gross. Next there is tis weird little Chinese man reaching into pots of hot noodle soup and pulling out bits of meat with his fingers. The heat lamp shines weirdly on his face. He reminds me of gollum and I think his behavior is gross.
      Dream shifts and we arrive at Gar Drolma for a teaching. I am outside and jump up on the wall, back, hands, and palms to the walk like a spider. I think it's weird and impossible, but the way the wall feels under my hands reassures me it's ok. I just never realized I could jump/climb like this. I climb down the wall and climb into a restroom window. I pee and exit via the door. Abi Palmo is sitting at a cafeteria style table. I say "Hey! You gave me a lucid dream last night!! I saw you in a dream and your hair was long and you had makeup on!"reference to earlier stages if THIS dream!) she looks at me quizzically and says nothing.

    9. Stop the presses! What a night! Not lucid? Who cares! (semi at least) Fight & Flight & Sex!

      by , 02-15-2015 at 02:48 PM
      2015-02-15

      STOP THE PRESSES OMFG WHAT A NIGHT! A real Sensei-3 night (Sensei says our lizard brain instincts of: fight, flight, & sex are the strongest urges in dreams), and I got 'em ALL in one night. At the end, at least semi-lucid, perhaps low-level lucid, but the word "dream" did not cross my mind so I'll count it as semi.

      I'm happy I retained as much as I did of the early/mid, I didn't record at all during the night, but did mental journaling. Yes, this is just the *summary*. It's going to take me all day to DJ, but it was so awesome I'm going to write it all up so I remember this.

      early:

      + fight with evil girls

      This goes on for a while, it's indoors, my first memory of this is the end of the dream where I'm entering a doorway expecting to be ambushed by the evil girl who's (on the top bunk of a bunk bed just inside the door?)

      + barbarous invaders, we're cowering in the trenches, they scalp our leader's wife, she's brave, I find pairing knife and pass it to our leader to take out the lead invader

      Large open outdoors area, a large group of invaders in white are prancing around on a field (IWL saw a ballet last night). My team is against them, and we're hunkering down in a trench. The invader leader takes a woman with long red hair and cuts off a chunk of her hair with a knife and tosses it down. "Bastard!" we exclaim. Then she is completely scalped with a bloody head in front of a building, she bravely tells us something like "every fighter has a final fight." I find a small sharp kitchen paring knife in the rocks and start to pick it up, making noise, my group "shushes" me, I very slowly and quietly pick it up and hand it to the guy in front of me (our leader?), hiding my hand and the knife beneath a large rock to conceal it.

      + fantastic rainbow shining fish in bizarre mobile aquariums: "computational" spine fish, "aquarium geeks are brave"

      I'm mostly DO observing these very tall (15-20 feet), wide (40-60+t) but thin (2 feet) aquarium tanks that are being moved by truck. Inside are amazing rainbow shiny blobby fish, some fish are predators chasing prey fish. Close up inside of a large sort of dinosaur-like fish with spiky spines running down its back, and these spines are actually somehow related to (computer) data, and the fish has the ability to process these spines and the place them into proper order (sorting them!). Close up at the top of the back of the fish, a guy who studies this fish knows how to reach inside an organ at the top of its back and stimulate it to process one of the data spines.

      I'm floating at the upper edge/entrance of one of the tanks, the water is dark and uninviting, I say "aquarium geeks are amazing," (they don't mind going into dark water with unseen creatures all around).

      + talking with VP about my work schedule, the disadvantages of working remotely, another exec (woman) hears me talking about my dedication to the job and says "I *like* you!", the shiny metalic highly magnetic valuable little doodad, I can't decide whether or not to put it in its case or leave it out

      I'm outdoors talking (on the phone?) either with or nearby to a VP of my company. I'm saying that I'm going to work remotely less, it's important to be in the office because being away from the office for too long, you miss building a sense of camaraderie with the team. I don't want to say exactly how long I work at home but it's like 2 weeks at home then 2 weeks in the office.

      I walk by a female executive of the company and she overhears me talking about my dedication to the job and she response, "I *like* you!" I think she just means my dedication.

      I'm standing looking closely at some small shiny metal magnetic doodad. It's like a medium sized fishing sinker/weight. It has a small metallic magnetic case that is lockable. I'm trying to figure out what to do with this thing, it will hold strongly on the top of the case magnetically but someone still could steal it. I have the thought that prying the magnetic case off of the car will ruin/bend the body of the car. I put it in its case and take it out a few times, I think the female exec is also watching.

      mid:
      + no visuals sexy time
      Spoiler for sexual content:


      + walk down park path inspecting briefly my (ahem) which is still "excited" from the previous dream, inside building, super heavy/dense little boy ("can you even lift him?"), walking through crowd of girls boldly hugging them, introducing myself, ask one girl her name, doesn't respond, I joke with others about this

      I'm walking down a path into the park,
      Spoiler for sexual content:

      I enter a building and sit on a (bed/couch). A woman, her mother, and the woman's young boy are there, the boy is very thick/sturdy. He climbs up next to me and I pick him up and place him in my lap. He's VERY heavy. I look up at the mother and ask her "can you even pick him up?" She has some answer which I think is 'yes.'

      I stand up and I'm walking through crowd of late teen girls. I'm hugging some and introducing myself, I'm sort of amazed at how bold I am. I walk around to the left and encounter a girl there and ask her name. She has a "deer in the headlights" look and doesn't respond for a while (I think she does eventually). I laugh and say "took you a while there!" the girls around me appreciate the joke.

      + following/arranging for (president's wife?) and I to arrive in room together, and then kissing her on couch, "We shouldn't do this!" she says (semi-lucid) at the end, followed by (theoretical, dream deteriorating) sexy time.

      I'm in some indoor space, like a backstage. I sense there is a woman I know and am attracted to moving around in the space, I'm trying to carefully time my walking pace so we will coincide. She is the wife of someone important (the president?) I think she will enter the room so I head that way, and I enter the room just behind her (and close the door?).
      Spoiler for racy content:
      , the dream fades

      late:

      + (f) in a house with a group?

      at some point I'm falling asleep again and I'm seeing images through my eyelids, I start "looking at them" and they vanish.

      + EPIC: walking outside with group on suburban sidewalk, juicy berry bushes growing in garden, branches extending over sidewalk; sitting around kitchen table, girls and I sneak twice into next room for sexy time , 2nd time I realize we're discovered, I decide to exit hastily, through garage, via my "James Bond-ish" weird formula race car, morphs into jet plane, (semi) lucid, something clicks and I'm flying over wide, detailed vista, ULTRA high def night-time city scene with lights everywhere, see my arms "wow waking-life, even freckles", shoot at things (lasers/torpedos), land looking for "love," expect motel to have bordello, enter, "it's inspection time, ladies!", head upstairs to patio with 3, start in on sexy-time; transition to FA in motel, wife says son wants "<something>-poncho", open door, same patio with 2 of the girls, sneak out and kiss them; evil MC in circus show and the girls in trouble, I/(and "superman?") save them, sit in a circle eating strange cheese telling them how much we love them.

      I'm walking in a group of young people on a sidewalk outs doors in a suburban/country neighborhood. On one block we come upon a fenced garden where there are berry bushes growing over the fence. I see very big (but realistic sized) juicy ripe red raspberries and blackberries, and smaller berries like currants (red and purple). I feel like taking some of berries to eat them but don't know the owner and don't know if they use pesticides or fertilizers so I don't pick any to eat. My group is looking at the berries. I walk farther along and see a female inside the fence with garden shears cutting off the branches that are hanging over the fence. I comment on the awesome berry crop she has, I look backwards along the fence and think she's trying to prevent people from eating her berries.

      In a house sitting around a kitchen table in one room. I go to an adjoining room with a girl for sexy time (but don't remember it). Back in the kitchen,
      Spoiler for sexy content:
      I decide it is time to "get out of Dodge" and hastily head for the exit.

      On the way to the exit I encounter a small control panel/remote control with long thin buttons and lights, and I select a destination (time?) that is far away from here where they will not find me.

      I enter a clean, lit, "high tech" garage, and hit my right palm against a large square button/panel in the wall which opens up the garage door (emergency exit?)

      I move for the exit and see a strange low vehicle there. I know it's a high tech sports car. It looks like just a very large square platform with formula-1 tires/wheels. I sit down and "start" it and will it to start moving fast away from here. One of the tires is in the middle of the platform blocking my vision and I push it out of the way.

      I'm semi lucid at this point and decide I could just turn the car into a jet and fly away. I reach each hand forward to the "controls", grab them, and the jet takes off! I move quickly up into the sky towards some hills. Something clicks and the visuals get extremely clear, ultra high def, with tons of objects and screen overlay symbols jumping all over the view, there are objects moving in the air and I have a super clear view of an expansive night-time cityscape from medium-high altitude. I look down and see my arms reaching forwards to the controls and think "wow my arms/hands look very realistic", I even noticed a freckle!

      I'm flying the plane, banking it up and down and aiming fire (torpedoes, lasers) at various vehicles on the freeways/overpasses. I'm flying like this for around a minute and I'm just stunned with the visuals and the experience.

      I fly low near the ground and think "girls"/strip club/bordello" and notice a building that looks like a cheap motel with 2-stories of rooms. I think there must be some girls in there. I land and eject / jump out to standing on the ground and think "in this room there will be a (salon/bordello/girls)", I enter and there are 4-5 naked (at least topless) ladies. Some are very attractive, but one is very obese. I say "OK ladies, time for an inspection!" I position myself as a corrupt inspector who's come for his "special inspection". It's been a while since I've been here to do this I think, (one of the ladies comments, "again?"?). I head upstairs to a patio with three girls, someone says "you need to start with the newest girl," which think is the obese one and I don't really want to interact with her.
      Spoiler for sexy time:
      the dream fades…

      …into a false awakening, I'm in a motel room with my wife getting up from bed. She says something about "S1 (older son) needs a <????>-poncho" some sort of rain poncho I think which can fold up, I'm not sure I heard right and ask again. I'm a bit confused about the poncho. I open the door and see out on to the patio of the just prior sexy time except now it's daylight and I see two of the girls there lying hungover with large sunglasses on their faces. I think "woohoo!" and sneak out of the room trying to close the door quietly behind me, and go up to the girl on the left and give her a quick kiss, then move to the girl on the right and give her a quick kiss that turns into a longer kiss and the dream transitions…

      …into some sort of indoor circus act featuring an evil MC and the girls from the salon, a huge beast like an elephant is there with seating strapped down its sides, and I see one of the girls is bound with duct tape and seated on the side where I am. I know that the evil MC has placed the girls in danger and when the beast moves they'll get hurt, I/we have to save them. As I'm looking at the situation I see the heads of two more girls pop up they're wedged in between the animal and the seating place.

      The beast begins to move and (superman?) swoops down and removes the two seating areas tearing the straps off the beast and flies away with the girls to outside. I'm there, it's a urban night environment, a steep street descends away from us, the evil MC is there cursing at us, superman throws the seat/(elephant?) at him strongly which bowls him over and he's gone.

      Sitting in a small circle with the girls eating cheese. I'm / we're telling them how much we love them. I kiss one (but her face is a pack of cheese?). There's a girl who doesn't like cheese seated on my left, I reach over to kiss her/talk to her but she says "ew!" I think she's seen cheese in my mouth. She opens a pack of cheese and spills it all on the ground I say "oh good job it's all spilled now". Looking at the cheese they are tiny pieces of orange cheese like teeny tiny amoebas or 5-legged starfish about the size of a pinky fingernail. Some of them are individually wrapped in plastic and I think that's odd.

    10. Black Dragons (LD #168)

      by , 02-15-2015 at 12:50 PM (Lucid Time!)
      Well, I saw some lucidity last night, so I figured I should jump back into DJing.

      All I remember was that I false awoke in my bedroom. I instantly knew that I was dreaming. I forgot to stabilize. I made my way downstairs on a mission to find Manei and carry on with my mission of finding out what was in that present.

      When I got downstairs there was a white tapestry hanging from the ceiling in the kitchen with two black dragons circling around some kind of alchemical circle. (It looked like a transmutation circle from FMA) The dragons on the tapestry animated and came out of it. They somehow became much bigger, about human sized.

      They stated that they were happy that I had become lucid because it meant that they got awarded bonus points and gold star stickers. I started to get the inkling that the dragons were doing something to hinder my lucidity. Despite having a friendly demeanor, they didn't have a very friendly appearance. They looked like Alduin from Skyrim.

      ...

      I lost recall here. Some vauge fragments of going outside and getting into a black car. It was warm and sunny like summertime.

      ...


      I woke up thinking that I had had two good long lucid dreams but had forgotten what the heck had happened other than the beginning. I tried to DEILD/WILD but no success.

    12. New year, vending machine

      by , 02-15-2015 at 09:51 AM (Snehk's Dreamlands)
      First dream - fragment

      I was in a big city with my older sister. It was new years eve, and we were going through the city at night. We were going to a big festival, but we've ended up in a disco. My younger sisters friends were partying there, I was drinking wine. After a while we've went out of there.

      Second dream

      It was in the flat house of my eldest sister. I was standing on a balcony with my older sister. She was surfing the net, and suddenly she told me that the flat standing in front of us belongs to different developer than the one we're in. Then she told me that our neighbor wants to know if our wending machine works. We turned round and looked at huge, yellow vending machine. She pulled the coin inside it, and it opened. She grabbed one pack of cookies, and I told her that she can take two.
    13. Majorly Disjointed

      by , 02-15-2015 at 08:13 AM (Just Another Dream Journal)
      I don't think I've ever had such disjointed dreams before.

      I was a guy, flying over a town. Two families were about to clash. Pet dogs were trying to drag the kids from one family away. They didn't understand what was going on. They didn't know they were about to be ambushed and they kicked at and yelled at the dogs. I felt sad for the animals. They were being loyal, but their humans didn't understand.

      Then I was flying through a store. I slid into an off-limits room and became trapped. A bunch of people ran to help me, but the doors slammed and I was trapped just as an explosion occurred. They wept on the other side. I should have been dead, but I came out with a lightning bolt burned onto my wrist.
      I then took off flying again, wanting to learn what I could do. I could fly at great speeds and my skin seemed to shed as some sort of protective mechanism. It was pitch dark though and I couldn't see where I was going. I kept trying to figure out how to activate my night vision then thought about how lame it would be if I didn't have any

      Then I was in space and a narrator said something along the lines, 'And this is how a hero became a destroyer of worlds.' I landed on a tiny planet, only I looked like some sort of rock golem/sloth creature. I landed with such force that the planet broke into pieces and I fell through space until I hit another planet... and killed it also.

      Then I was back on earth, flying through a different store and I couldn't find my daughter, Destinee. She was about 4-6 years old and I was freaking out. She was playing inside a pyramid of boxes and cans. Then I showed Zee a magic trick. She was about 3 and very impatient. I showed her my iPad and told her to push a couple buttons. A bag of chips then came out from the bottom of the iPad
      I saw a woman crying and I tried to comfort her. She was from a different town and was stranded during some tragedy. Her family was with her but they seemed at a loss as to how to help her.
      Then the store owner wanted me to try to figure out what was wrong with a wall very high up and close to the ceiling. There was a letter shoved in a crack from 1825.

      I then found myself in yet another store. I had shopped and was trying to leave but couldn't find the exit. I also couldn't find Paula and Ray. I called out for him and a store owner asked what I was doing there- that the store was closed and I was trespassing... I saw Paula from the corner of my eye. She looked scared and was hiding behind a box. I finally meet up with her and she asked if I could keep it down because she has a criminal record [not really] and she didn't want to get in trouble.
      I found Ray in the car, hiding from some girl who liked him. Then he disappeared and I ended up back in the store where I found Cho (from Grimm) convulsing and crapping his pants. I helped him to the car but I didn't pay for new purchases and tried to hide them before others came. Ray was nowhere to be found again, and then I started vomiting poop.

      I woke after just 3 hours of sleep with severe reflux lol

    14. Dare: Gettin Neked: Lucid all night

      by , 02-15-2015 at 05:04 AM (Cities in the Astral)
      02/11/15 I had a great night of lucidity that lasted maybe 2 hours. I did not bother to get up and journal it, so much of it is reduced to the standard stuff like flying, climbing buildings and so on.

      The part that has to do with the dare is in the middle. I wandered around inside a building I had been climbing. The inside had open lobby sections with winding stairs and I went into one of the suites. As I looked around the room became more and more like the inside of a luxury motor coach. I went out through the cock pit door and was out on a patio area of a resort.

      I saw a female DC and was surprised that she looked just like Angelina Joeli. Cool. I walked up to the DC and she looked up and made eye contact. A very well rendered DC, indeed. I reached out and placed my hand on one of her breasts. She looks shocked and goes, "What the hell do you think you are doing?!"

      I give her a winning smile and respond, "Feeling you up of course. This is a dream and you are hot, so it seems the thing to do.'
      She looks like this was a reasonable explanation so I try something funny. I reach down and in a move like male strippers I yank off all my cloths in one move and smile.

      She steps back and goes, "Oh my God."

      I point back over my shoulder and say, "were going skinny dipping, come on!" I turn around and there is a pool. I dive in and look back. She climbs in but is in a bikini. I dive under and swim up to her. We play a while and end up have a brief sexual thing but casual and not for long.

      Soon it has turned into a giant hot tub and many of my friends from my twenties are their. The female DC is still with me like a girlfriend and stays with me for perhaps a half hour. We all were suddenly on a bus and someone else was driving. I watched the terrain and flirted with the DC. I noticed it was showing areas around here as we pulled off the highway. There were giant taro plants growing in the ditches. We all got out on a property that was a garden.

      After that the DCs were gone and I wondered up the rural street to do other random things.

    15. Meeting with Loved Ones and Not so Loved Ones - February 11, 2015

      by , 02-15-2015 at 04:49 AM
      Wake Induced Lucid Dream (WILD). This was a very vivid string of lucid dreams, more vivid and clear than waking life itself. After a 1 hour Wake Back to Bed (WBTB) routine I closed my eyes and meditated. I focussed on visualize on having a stack of 10 or so coins in my hand, then opening my hand and allowing the coins to fall. It started off as flashes of light and over about 15 or 20 minutes I had reasonably clear imagery of this happening, then my body was asleep, but my mind was conscious, and I simply let all thoughts go, and I let the imagery present itself however it may happen. I simply went with the hypnogogic imagery, and I did not influence it. The imagery transitioned into a lucid dream after about a half hour, and I found myself standing there in my parent’s house. I could hear my poodle barking outside.

      She always barks when she’s ready to come in, so I ran for the back door to let her in. It was nighttime, and there was nobody else around. When I opened the backdoor I saw my dog standing at the bottom of the concrete steps, and she illuminated by what looked like a fog light from above. There isn’t a fog light there in the waking world, so I looked up to see where the light was coming from. To my surprise I saw a glowing sphere above the house and it was projecting a beam light down on my dog. It was directly above us, so I floated my feet upwards, and I rotated my body so I was in lying in a horizontal position looking up at the light. The light then began to move upwards and it drew me along. I slowly rose, mesmerized by light, and soon I could see the outline of the clouds against the starlit sky. Seeing the stars and the clouds so vividly made me excited and I returned the void, where I was once again consciously aware with my body was asleep.

      I found myself in a false awaking, and I lost lucidity, because I really thought it was real. I could hear my wife in the kitchen talking to a friend. The house was a place where we use live back in the late 80’s. That should have been enough to tip me off that I was dreaming, but it didn’t ‘click in’. My wife came into the room and snuggled in with me for ‘sexy time’, but our bedroom door was open, and my wife’s friend peaked around the corner. At this point I became lucid, but I felt totally uncomfortable with the situation, so I didn’t engage the moment. Actually I haven’t done ‘sexy time’ while lucid since my mid-teens due to a bad lucid experience, but I definitely would like to try this with my wife when I don’t have an audience! Thank you very much! I slipped back into ‘the void’ (Nrem).

      I entered another dream lucidly, and I found myself in some sort of empty warehouse. My mother in-law was standing there amongst many other dream figures (My dear mother in-law passed in 2001). Remembering my mantras to connect with my daughter (My daughter passed in 2013), I looked at mom and asked where my daughter was. As soon as I said it, she walked up beside me, to the right, and I said, “Daughter is that you?” because she looked different, and she said in her exact voice, “Yeah, it’s me!”, so I scooped her up into my arms. As I held her close she morphed into her true physical appearance. I told her I loved her, and I started to slowly bounce around the perimeter of the room, facing inward. While lucid, you can jump up and slowly float down, like you’re in low gravity, kind of like bouncing on the moon. Her feet were dangling in the air, and I asked her, “Hey daughter, how’s the food is in Heaven?” She replied, “Huh?”, so I repeated the question, “How’s the food in Heaven?” She happily said, “That’s the first thing people always ask me about heaven! Oh, dad.” We bounced past one of the windows, and I saw people standing on the sidewalk. My vision started to fade, so I focussed on my hand, but unfortunately everything went black. Darn…..

      I remained perfectly still and I visualized myself back in the dream, and then I was, except I was now across the street in another warehouse! I lost lucidity again, and I was looking for a place to sleep, so I could get back to be with my daughter. A short and very wide woman walked up beside me wearing a hooded parka, and asked what I was doing, so I replied, “I need to find a place to sleep so I can lucid dream.” She pointed at a carpet on the floor and said, “How about there?”, and then she pointed at an old recliner on a pile of junk and said, “How about there?” Then she pointed at an old wooden chair and said, “How about there?” I became semi-lucid because I realized this is probably a dream, so I didn’t care about sleeping in a filthy place, so I opted to sleeping on the carpet. I laid down on the carpet and looked up at the obese hooded woman and said, “I’ll sleep here.” Just as I said that the woman morphed into my mother in-law. She was in her late 50’s.

      I said to my mother in-law, “I love you!”, and she replied, “Oh, so now we know!”, as I watched her grow younger to be in her late 20’s, she was very beautiful! Then I said, “I really miss you.”, and she distractedly replied, “Oh, okay.”, as sunglasses materialized in her right hand and she tried to quickly put them on, but she accidently dropped them. Quickly, another set of sunglasses appeared in her hand and she fumbled to put them on. Two men appeared in the direction she was looking. One fellow was “clean cut’ and casually dressed, and the other fellow had long hair, a leather vest, and was covered in tattoos.

      The ‘clean cut’ guy was holding a scalpel in his hands, and the tattooed man was holding a stainless jug containing some sort of chemical. Suddenly the ‘Clean cut’ guy raised the scalpel up and said, “We’re going to cut you eyelid open and pour kerosene in there.” Instantly and firmly I replied, “No, you’re not going to do that!” I quickly took the scalpel from him and I broke the blade off, and rubbed the broken shard against my eyelid and said, “Let’s get this straight, you want to cut my eyelid open, and pour kerosene under my skin. What possible benefit would that have for me? Is there any reason at all? What could that possibly do?” I was firm and direct and right in his face. My mother in-law said, “Yeah, what good could that possibly do?” I then noticed the ‘clean cut’ guy had scars in his eyelids. The tattooed guy then dropped the stainless, kerosene jug on the ground. It appears they both got fed-up with my defiance and walked away, so I quickly picked the jug up and chased after the tattooed guy.

      I grabbed the tattooed guy by his shoulder and spun him around, and I said, “You forgot your kerosene. Why don’t you take this somewhere and start a fire!” He then looked very sad and insulted, and then feeling some remorse for what I said, I placed my hand on his shoulder and said, “It’s okay, I’m just joking, I appreciate you stopping by.” He turned and walked away without the kerosene, and then I slipped back into ‘the void’.

      I was consciously awake, but with my body asleep, and I was reviewing the LD’s I just had. Should I wake myself up and voice record these lucid dreams, or risk having another lucid dream and forgetting what just happened? I decided to continue on. Then, very unexpectedly, I felt somebody hugging me during Nrem. This dream figure was very big and broad, and worse yet, it was a man! Yuck! So pushed him away and told him to leave. That freaked me out, but I kept my cool, and then I was false awakened by the ‘clean cut’ guy from the warehouse.

      I jumped out of bed and stood face to face with the same guy from the warehouse. He was standing in my room and glowing slightly white. He held the scalpel up to my face and asked, “Why won’t you do this? Let me cut your eyelid and pour kerosene in there!” I was angrily replied, “Why would I do this? It makes no sense. Why don’t you come back to me after I’m dead, when I have more time to think about this? I’ll probably be dead in 20 years, and you can ask me then. No wait, I’ll find you, and then we can talk about this. ” He looked totally freaked out by what I said and he slowly backed up wide eyed. He then shot forward at me and made a real distorted face, and this caused me to go back into ‘the void’.

      I remained perfectly still and I tried to return to the warehouse to find my daughter. Next thing I knew I was standing between the two warehouses and I was perfectly lucid. Then the ‘clean cut’ guy ran out of the warehouse were my mother in-law and I were chatting earlier, and disappeared around the corner of the other warehouse where I was hugging with my daughter. I floated up in the air vertically a couple of feet of the ground, and I took off after him. I had thoughts of doing a high speed tackle! When I rounded the corner, there were now men five men walking together. One of them was the ‘clean cut’ guy; one was the tattooed man, and the other three I didn’t recognize. I floated up behind them quietly, as they walked; and then one fellow turned around and faced me in total shock. I then went into praying lotus position, floated around them, and then faced them as I was travelling backwards, floating. My movements were surprisingly smooth and precise. One of the men, who I didn’t recognize, started smiling at me. I guess it must have looked pretty funny seeing somebody in praying lotus position hovering in front of them as they walked. Uncontrollably I started to smile back, and I really didn’t feel any anger towards the ‘clean cut’ or the tattooed man. Then my waking world alarm went off, and I woke. Darn, I wonder what would have happened next.
