Lots of trippy and intensely absurd dreams tonight, but I wasn't at home and had nothing to write on. I was a little too laxed on recall so memory is very limited. I know I was lucid at least twice though.

I did MILD in the middle of the night and later noticed that I was about to fall asleep. So I just sat back and enjoyed an unusually smooth transition into the LD. (Best type of WILD. All the fun, non of the work)

I headed downstairs and met my parents dog. She was super happy to see me and we played for a little bit in the hallway. I decided it would be fun to start the dream with one of the tasks. I also wanted to go outside. I tend to get this urge.

I decided to bring the dog along. Once we got on the road I decided that I wanted to start with meeting an older version of myself.

I looked around, but there was nobody around. I told the dog to look for me. She wen't out into the tall grass and started barking. I followed and found myself face down in the tall grass tied up into an uncomfortable position. I helped myself get loose.

The older version of me: Didn't look much older. Horrible unhealthy skin. Looked weak. Scared.

I can't remember a lot of details. But I asked for advice. All he told me was that if I was offered to go to the mountains in the next few days I absolutely had to refuse.

I asked what had happened to him... why was he tied up? I can't remember exactly what he said. But I think it had something to do with that mountain trip. And he had gotten in trouble with some people. He suddenly got anxious and told me something like "oh no here they come" I turned around and he was gone. A humongous black dog approached. About the size of a hippo. There is also the image of a man in black, but I can't remember anything else about him.

The dog was intimidating, but I just started playing with it. I lost lucidity while we were playing around in the street.

I "woke up" hearing faint voices outside my room. Getting closer. There was a woman. I remained still because I wasn't sure if it was real life or a false awakening. And I was hoping to re-enter the dream. She leaned in and whispered my name into my ear and licked my neck. It went through my body like a jolt and I woke up completely. I am relatively sure it was a hallucination and not a false awakening..

This could be a new trend. There is a part of my mind that has always been trying to stop me from entering lucid dreams during transitions. But it never had much success.

Recently it seems to have given up and left me alone during the initial transition. But instead surprising me and waking me when I try to re-enter dreams. After a few times I know to expect it now though. So I doubt it will be much of a problem in the future..
