It's less a recurring dream, more of a recurring direction any dream may take. I could be dreaming of anything, no matter how unrelated, and then find myself noticing what looks like snow. The heavier it gets, and the more I pay attention, I notice that the snowflakes are actually white petals. Once this realization sets, I find I am suddenly looking down a path. It is a dirt path, with grass on either side. Up ahead, the path takes a hard right, and I cannot see what is ahead. Just before the bend, there is a hill, a short raise, and then what seems to be a drop off behind. Not a cliff, just background. I see this beautiful tree, with white petals, and a very short trunk. Underneath the tree, as if the tree allowed only the amount of height necessary for this, sits someone very close to me. She is always dressed in a white top and shorts with white shoes. She doesn't say anything, just a look. The look communicates what feels like "Finally, there you are." I try and get closer, and I always wake up. The only thing that ever seems "out of place," is that her normally wild and curly hair has been straightened. A look which I do not find preferable. I hope to be able to find stability next time I find myself here, as I am very curious as to what it is I am meant to learn from this. I will post any developments as they happen, in case anyone is interested.

With siblings and friends we were stuck in some dark cavern system deep underground. It was some kind of abandoned mine. We all were desperately trying to find our way back home. In one of the caverns, I found some kittens and took them on my arms. I decided to help them get out of there too. We reached an elevator going to surface and turned it on, but then I realized that my younger sister was left behind, I grabbed rock wall of elevator shaft and dragged the platform down, so she could go with us. When we reached the surface, we were stopped by an enormous barricade, so high that it reached clouds. There was someone stuck on a platform of this barricade, who tried to help us get to the other side. I thought about using lines and some poles to pole-vault up there, but then I looked around and saw that the gate is just open. I ran out through it and thought that this might be a dream. I did a nose plug rc, and woke up.

Don't know what's come over me, just had the impulse to share some dreams agian, even if they aren't that interesting.

In dream, I am much older, and have a wife and (I wanna say five kids, somewhere between four and seven.) I am supposed to take the kids on vacation in Chicago (specifically stated that the city I'm taking them to is Chicago.) My wife, whoever she is in-dream is on a buisness trip and will be laying over in Chicago on her way back from wherever for a couple days. I am to head out there the same day she lays over, then we all return home as a family.

I arrive at the hotel. It is my responsibility to check in to the hotel so what when my wife arrives later in the day, she can just go straight to the room and relax. The building I am staying in is this extremely tall and thin orange tower that is built outside the downtown of the city alongside this open park area. The building does look rather unusual because of its bright orange color and isolation from the other, taller buildings.

The inside appears rather normal, though it has a courtyard like a mall with a confusing collusion of escalators and elevators leading to rooms and shops. There is some complication at the check in desk, apparently the fault of the hotel's employees rather than myself, and my room will not be ready for a couple more hours. I have to inform my kids (much to their dismay) that we will have to go outside. (It is currently a blizzard. Apparently this same blizzard has also delayed my wife's incoming flight.) The hotel employee (I think was a robot by the way.) Tells us we may use the swimming pool in the meantime.

It is at this point that I remember seeing the kids most clearly. They all looked rather ubiquitous. They all seemed to have the same hair (albeit in different lengths and styles) the same faces and expressions, etc. The funny thing was they would all follow me like ducks in a row, with the tallest child (looking to be 10-12ish) in front and the youngest (maybe 5-7ish) in back, creating a steady slope of reducing height.

We go up to the pool near the very top of the hotel. It is in a glass enclosure and is also structured like an indoor courtyard with rooms and indoor balconies proceeding up several stories above it. The kids begin playing this game about throwing plates. I am concerned that they will injure themselves and am reluctant to let them play until I discover the plates have rounded edges and are made of plastic like light frisbees.

Eventually we are able to return to the room and order room service, and the wife character arrives. This part of the dream was largely glanced over and I think the wife and children characters were dropped completely after this point.

I got a call that I had to make it to some kind of business meeting. I had to traverse the city to an office building on the other side, but the roads were closing due to the weather and people thought the electricity might go off. However there was a subterranean network of hotels, shops and casinos that one could traverse to make it to the other side of the city.

Navigating the network turns out to be frustrating. It is structured more around providing ample shopping opportunities than it is around providing an actual means of reaching two points in the city, and I frequently have to stop and check maps (that of course due to the fact that this is a dream, change). At some point I start using elevators. By going up elevators I can go to the top of buildings and get an idea of where I am at in the city and at the same time cross over some obstacles by moving to another elevator while above ground. But irritatingly, the elevators connected to the subterranean tunnels only link to the top floors of buildings.

At some point, I manage to find a station of this (I guess you could call it a mass transit system.) They were kind of like mini elevated rail trains that moved along on this rail, only they hung from it, and the gondolas were small (only allowing 4-6 people in each one) and were sphere shaped, with different colored gondolas arriving in a rainbow succession.

The dream concludes with me giving up getting to the business meeting. (The meeting is canceled on account.) I am in a starbucks coffee on the top floor of a skyscraper that is essentially an all in one college. All of the dorms, offices and classrooms are built into one tower.

The Starbucks is run by two aliens (like classical depictions of martian aliens, with skinny bodies, big heads, and big black eyes.) Though one of them is dark gray and the other is green. I think there is also a human employee.

Something funny happens with the aliens, like the dark gray one only serves earl gray and black tea and the green alien serves you green tea. I think I wind up getting two cups of tea, one from each alien.

My friends H and A are there and they are talking about the plants in the greenhouse that takes up the other part of the top floor of the tower. They want me to come see the plants with them and then they start arguing if fallout 3 or new vegas is better and I break them up. Manei appears (though I remain nonlucid. ) and takes a sandwich from this refrigerator and sits down with it and puts too much mustard on it and I think it is gross. A goes up to him and punches him in the employee in the face and his head goes into a vat of ice cream. I wind up breaking up that fight too.

Yesterday, lucid: This was a reocurring dream scene. Back in high school even though I'm an adult. This time I just said, yes I know I'm too old to be here & became lucid. I was shocked to find that I was back in time to the 60's. I stumble upon others who also were others like me that are time travelers in a sense. I'm kind of startled & confused that there are other ppl like me. I ran off some violent crazy woman & decide to stay w/ these ppl for a while & enjoy this new adventure. But Meesha Cat wakes me up.
I laid back down & focused on the dream I was just in & I started chaining right back into it. Still my time travel friends & we break up into groups in an apartment complex to keep us all together. We now come across children w/ the same time travel ability so we feel obligated to help mold them & train them to be safe w/o drawing attention to their abilities. A woman is charting out who will live in which apartments. A man & me are hitting it off & flirting so we ask to be put together w/ a group of the small children that we have bonded with. All of the children were toddlers up only to the age of maybe 6 at the most. After we had settled in I woke up.

Today: I was in a dream w/ my husband & we hear my phone ringing. We are both laughing saying "Fuck 'em!" We are avoiding my phone. But it really was my alarm on my phone which was waking me up. I checked the time & it had been going off for 8 minutes, lol

I travelled a hundred miles back and forth on top of a giant metal fish. My brother showed me how to launch it in the air at unprescedented speeds. Think Howls moving castle meets angry birds.

It took me to lands of lush grasses and blue seas, but soon I had to return home. I got news from my mom... my father had died. I was walking back to my house in a phone call with Wil, telling him that I still felt no sadness as there was no way i actually had allowed the reality to sink in. Right outside my home a couple passed another with a dog and fawned over it. Wil made a joke about them whoring for a high rating, which obviously came from me watching black mirror last night. I got home, and entered what was the exterior of one of the houses with the stone wall lawn from my old walk to school, and the inside was the dankertons. Simon was watching the hills have eyes but it became reality, and was about monsters that feed off the ego to destroy people. The protagonist was a girl that slayed a massive demon in the living room that possessed tentacles that could impale your chest bones. She played a card of some kind that sealed it's fate. Suddenly Arshia called me on his phone and started making jokes about something, and I woke up.

Experiment with mindfulness...coming soon.

EDIT: Typo. Actually Log 572
One brief WILD recalled today, along with a fragment from long before that. There's also a long duration of controlled hypnagogia, but I won't bore anyone with that stuff.

Scrap Group 1
Playing Streets of Rogue. I'm doing a rescue mission, but my escortee is a moron and runs into danger. I don't bother saving them. Part of this has me within the game in first person perspective.


Dream 1 - November 2016 Advanced Task I

WILD transition in bed. I waste no time flying out to the hallway, and stop to try Advanced Task I. There was resistance in peeking through the wooden floor, as in other attempts. What's more, my head would flash back to an erect position at times. Still, my persistence pays off. My head phases through. What I saw... was pure darkness. Big surprise...

A few seconds later, a tunnel exit appears in view. I'm approaching quickly. Once through, I drop down a sharp incline. I look around, and see I'm in a roller coaster ride. There wasn't any noise, making the experience less exciting than it should've been.

I awaken half a minute later.

This felt like an extremely long dream of almost reality. It is like I step through a door when I go to sleep and start living another life. I am trying to relinquish using so much control because I miss finding messages and still trying to learn more about my dreams. My dreams are becoming so real life like and long. I have fun while in my dream being a detective of my dream and looking for the inconsistencies which are much less. I always thought I became lucid by seeing the inconsistencies but this dream I was lucid while looking for them. I didn't find a lot. I was alone which is a sign, I was in a hotel room where the room looked somewhat like the inside of my house but off a little and when I opened a cabinet I saw a rubbermaid over half full of iced tea, which I don't drink and it would never be in my cabinet lol. Then I saw the cleaning lady was the janitor from my work, but other than that it was a long dream of walking on the beach, walking down the street, going to a restaurant. I slept great though. I was getting too excited and putting too much pressure on myself with the challenges that I felt I was taking a step back in my dream quality. Once my insomnia is gone I may get back to it. For now...I am "Detective of my Dreams". I hope it will pay off for me.
I feel the tea was a message and it feels positive it was 3/4 full.

I'm really struggling in the last two weeks with recalling my dreams. I'm having incredibly long dreams every night where i fail to remember what I do, but they feel never ending. This time anyway i have something to journal.

- I'm in a "oratorio" in Italy (place managed by the local priest who offers facilities and playing activities for chosen and kids in addition to little moments for praying together). I'm there with my mother and at a certain point I spot some friends i had in my youth and started to play football together. We then act a little show which the purpose was to have fun of an older guy who was also playing football with us in the past.

1. I was in the backroom of my job, Walmart. I remember standing in the very back of this area, and A was with me. It was rather dark, but to my right there was some sort of extension of the building that led to a hallway that was made completely of furnished shiny wood. In this hallway all of the lights were on, so it made things easier to see from where I was currently standing. Suddenly I hear someone in the front of the room say "All right group, it's time for our daily meeting" they said. It sounded like Erica, one of my co-managers. I knew then that A and I had to get out of here otherwise we'd get in trouble. At the moment, no one could see us given that there still wasn't much light, and also that there was freight and pallets of stuff everywhere blocking our view.
I hear a lot of people walking. As I peek out from around a pallet that was taller than me, I see all of my coworkers standing in a circle. The meeting is about to start. "Just tell them you're my girlfriend" I told A "they won't be mad about that cause my other coworker's girlfriend sometimes comes back here to bring him food." "Okay" she nodded. With that we walked out into the open and now everyone was looking at us. Suddenly my other co-manager Joe activates some sort of super loud alarm. Just then I say "Wait stop, this is just my girlfriend" I tell Joe. "Oh okay" he says. He then deactivates the alarm by using his MC-40(a cellular device for company use like tracking inventory, orders, etc) and the alarm stops.
Now we are standing in front of everyone, not knowing what to say. "So what is she doing back here?" one of my coworkers that works in electronics asks. "She was just bringing me food" I reply. "What kind?" someone else asked. Suddenly my electronics coworker starts making up shit about how A is here for some other completely random reason that I don't even remember. "No she just brought me some Jack-In-The-Box" I tell everyone.

Note: I've noticed that every time I feel like I'm losing myself in waking life, she shows up in my dreams without any effort on my part.

I wrote down my dreams but I'm just too exhausted. Deep cleaning the house today in preparation for Thanksgiving dinner at my house. We bought a 50 inch tv, new stand & upgraded to the Hopper3 w/ the joey. It's finally time Mike & I got something for ourselves. We always buy for grand kids & other things but we finally put ourselves first. Screw it if christmas isn't as big & flashy as usual. Now the kids can reap the benefits from all the movies/netflix, etc. We are tired of being at the bottom when my husband busts his ass to work over 60 hrs a f****** week & feel like we can't buy ourselves shit. Good for us! I'll post my stuff tomorrow during my breaks of cleaning like a mad woman again.

#501-DILD-4:00AM

Well this should make up a little for the last few LDs; really vivid and stable.

I am in some strange house back in town. I see my Father and and wife milling about. Then we are in a car looking at the house. Neighbor's are outside staring at us. I think how this is all wrong. We live out of town now. I hate this. Then we are back in the living room. I am still perplexed why I am living in town, but then it dawns on my that this has to be a dream.

I immediately remember the lucid task to put my head through the floor. I kneel down and take a moment to stabilize visually. I pay close attention to my hands and the carpet. The texture is very vivid and the color is something like faded dingy mauve. It looks like someone needs to vacuum or, perhaps, shampoo. I go ahead and start pushing my heading into the floor. It feels a little like jello then solid wall. I try several times and stop when I realize and I not thinking about it the right way. This is more like phasing. I think to reach through like its an open window. Suddenly, There is an electronic whoooomp sound and a space opens up for my head and I peak into the sub-flooring. Of course, it's pitch black so I snap my fingers and create a flash light with my index finger. ET phone home? I am a little shocked how well my dream control it. Darkness it always a struggle for me, but everything is now brightly lit.

There seems to be a space of a few feet deep in here and directly in front of me is a mirror. I look into it and see my face is just a skull is with frame around it. I giggle at the oddity and then look around some more. The area is dirty with a few pieces of scattered trash. I try to take mental note of each piece but quickly realize it's a waste of time.

I stand up and now my head is poking out the top of the roof. I go ahead and climb up and see one of the neighbors taking out the trash. I tell him he's not my real neighbor and that I don't live here. He asks why and I say that it's because I don't like him. Then for some reason, I jump down and hit him with both feet. As I do, he grows like Jake the Dog and pushes me back up on the roof. Everything is getting weird and I realize that I am loosing focus. I decide to go ahead and wake up so I don't lose lucidity and forget the dream.
