It started off with me in some big mall like place. It was day time and I was walking down a huge plaza room and toward the back somewhere. I end up high and seen a man in the ceiling, working on a broken florescent light panel. He was crouched above it, screwing something in. I was unaware of him being up there even though the dream clearly shows him to me and I flip on the light. It doesn't come on but the man up there starts yelling at me to turn it off, now realizing he was there I quickly flip the switch off before and harm comes to him. He is now pissed and I told him that I didn't even know you were there in the first place. Someone is behind me, I think my sister was there, not sure who it was since I never actually see them. Anyhow There was a small indoor pond that appeared below us who is way up 40-50 feet up into the rafters and for some God awful reason, I decided to jump down into it. I landed unharmed in the water, almost missing and landing on the rock. I climb back up but my sister needed me to jump back down to get something. I declined her since I was too scared to do it again and now the dream shifted. I'm now outside in an unknown forested place. there were trees all around, open areas of grass fields and every now and then a house. I'm coming from a house and I'm holding two potatoes. I go to eat one but it slips out of my hand and it fell, hit the side of a car and busted. I was a liquid mess with clumps of what was left of the potato and maggots. I looked at the other potato in my hand, it looked normal but when I threw it on the ground, it too busted into a smelly, liquid clump of maggots. I am glad that I didn't bite into that stuff. I went into building next to the one I came out of. it was big inside but much smaller the the mall like place. it had low laying ceilings like a skating rink. Someone was behind me and when I looked to see how it was, it chased me. I saw it was Sound wave and I ran to the other side of the room, escaping through a door he was too big to get through.
non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening A Miami Vice dream. Sonny is in trouble, there is a bomb under his chair, pressure activated. A team comes on helicopters and he is saved. A rich guy offers Sonny a high tech helicopter that looks like Millennium Falcon in black, but he has some trouble learning how to fly it and at first he bumps against everything. Then the helicopter turns into a Transformer and while morphing, Sonny is left hanging outside the helicopter as it goes away. Then a chase on yachts and helicopters, I am on a yacht. On another yacht is the dead guy from Weekend at Bernie's. Then I also get on an extremely high tech flying gear. Some secret agency hasn't found good pilots for it and I kick ass on it. It does vertical flying, instant speed changes and is controlled mostly by the mind. Go down a hill to a riverbed, some kids playing there and freaking out over a tiny frog. I put the frog back in the water before they hurt her. Some dudes on horse are coming fast to where we are and I scream to the kids to get out of the way and take cover in the bushes nearby. The guys have assault weapons and carry someone's bloody arm. We're not sure they saw us or not. We go tell the police. Then we all take a bus home together and these guys hop in and sit by our side. The kids freak out. A dream with my guru. (secret)
Morning of January 14, 2018. Sunday. On the threshold of doorway symbolism (a door being a liminal space divider between the dream self and the conscious self), by which I always either leave the dream state or trigger a higher level of lucidity, I focus on an antique bronze lion face door knocker (lucidity stabilizer which also gives respect to the nature of RAS mediation). Placing my hand upon it, I feel a curious vibration, with a vague awareness of humming. (This is a common perception in dreams of augmented awareness.) It vibrates a bit more when I touch more of it. I feel very aware, secure, and loved. Thinking back to a vivid childhood dream, the lion head becomes a triceratops head. I consider the horns as being an odd feature for a door knocker, but it does not concern me. I move my hand over it and it recedes into the door itself (a possible influence from the pin art desk toy that our youngest son owns). I become aware of liminal space to a greater extent, the autosymbolism being a parking lot (a very common liminal space marker for me since childhood). I see a large metal model of a triceratops in the area. As I focus on it more deliberately, it becomes “alive” to some extent (emergent consciousness factor). It reminds me vaguely of a Transformer (Dinobot “Slug”), and speaks in a layered metallic voice (though I do not grasp the words, though I get the impression it relates to my physical body; my muscles or cells). However, without paying much notice to the waking transition, it resolves as being our youngest son, cheerfully talking about Transformers in his normal human voice. My dream brought me comfort and no dominant or aggressive RAS mediation was rendered (due to my willingness to let my dream fade on its own). (This relates to the “transformation” of the dream self back into the conscious self identity.) This dream’s autosymbolism that represents the waking process is the same theme as various past dreams since early childhood, where the RAS mediation factor, starting out as potentially threatening, transforms more smoothly into the human emergent consciousness factor. (The supposed potential “threat” is often only by implication of its form, not necessarily with my dream self seeing it as such. One example is the dream where I had a passive pet tiger that eventually became anthropomorphic and slowly transformed into Charles Bronson who I talked to in friendly conversation, also ending near a parking lot. Another example is the dream where I stared down a lion in the living room until it became an unknown male that I had a conversation with.)
[The dream was at around 6:30AM] [So finally had a lucid that i was able to recall well enough after laying in bed for a while after waking up.. it was in time, since my last lucid recorded here was 13 days ago] [My recall is really bad these days and it even affected the dream, it was blurry most of the time] I was running on a street in a regular dream, where something exploded and i knew that my mom was there at the explosion... I thought that it must be a dream, because something like this wouldn't happen. So i started running and just flew up into the air simply. I got lucid thanks to this. As flying above the streets, i noticed that everything was dark again, like in my lucids these weeks... Like i don't have enough control. I wanted to change this, but also got scared for some reason... I flew back to our house and i noticed that the lights are on in our outbuilding, so i flew in there, hoping to bring the light out with myself. As i got in there, i found one of my cats doing something in a corner... I wasn't sure what he did, but he looked embarassed and started walking away. I flew out through the closed windows and kept thinking about how i'll bring out the light with myself from inside the building. As soon as i found myself outside, turns out it didn't succeed. Everything was still dark, so i flew up again and held my hands in front of my eyes to try and use my really light white hands and create daylight from them. I held them in front of me and then moved them away, focusing on them blurring my vision, so maybe the lighter colors will remain... but it didn't work much.. it only got lighter a little bit. [I was kinda bored of this darkness already, it just happens too much since a while]. Oh, i was part of your dream? Cool! Some kind of fear feeling got over me yet again as i was in the air and suddenly a black kitten [who i recognized immediately, it was my cat, Kormi] started flying at me really fast. He got to me and "climbed" on my hand and i felt a huge pain. For some reason this cute little kitten was scary. I wanted to get rid of him, but he kept holding on my hand and anytime i moved it, i felt that unbelievable pain. I flew into our house, hoping to lose him while passing through the glass window, but he was still there, hurting even more... Then i realized that all i have to do is think positively. So i started thinking about how this is just a dream and nothing should hurt me, everything shouldn't be dark outside. This seemed to work, because my kitten disappeared finally. I flew out of the window yet again and now it was around 7:30PM in the dream, judging by the amount of light the environment gained. [So it wasn't that dark anymore, i could see well now, but it was getting dark soon]. I was happy that it worked and in my happiness, i flew up to some electrical wires above me and started chewing on one of them. I thought that it's funny that these would be deadly in real. They tasted horribly though, just like rubber... I thought about that they should taste like gummycandy, but it didn't seem to work, so i left them. I noticed some electrical storm really far away in the horizont, i wanted to go and check it out. I had a thought that the cables empowered me, so i changed to super speed flying and headed that way. While flying at extreme speed, i let out some kind of electrical pulses out of my body and they zapped the air around me When i got to the storm, it was kinda disappointing.... it got really tiny and not that huge as it seemed from further away, so i left and went back to my starting position. While flying back that way, i remembered my goal, i wanted to find Amy Lee, to ask her some things. [Along with questions about how to befriend Lucy... after all they are both DCs, so she might know]. I flew out to our street and made a remark on how there were no people anywhere. Then i landed on top of a big transformer that is standing at the end of our street. Amy Lee I kept thinking about Amy standing on the other side of the transformer and i was turning around to summon her. As i was turning, the transformer was tottering as the air moved it, but i didn't feel unsafe. Soon after this suddenly the environment shifted around me, now i was still standing on the transformer, but was in our ourbuilding. [Which's ceiling got much much taller]. I noticed a macho looking guy on the ground below. He shouted something at me, but i don't remember it. He seemed to trying to tell me something important, but i didn't care much about it. For some reason i was able to look through the wall without any effort at this moment... I noticed a DC walking away from the building outside, and she had a black hair and i thought that it must be Amy Lee. I put my head through the wall and looked down at her, she didn't look up at me, but her eyes were on me and she was smiling at me like she was planning something bad. [I knew it for sure now, she looked perfectly like Amy and i was happy that my mind was able to recreate her so beautifully ] I flew outside and landed behind her as she was trying to leave the garden. I wanted to say something to her, but suddenly hear someone behind me, shouting "CAREFULLY!". I looked behind me, and it was a naked girl, who's body was made of plastic, only her head was human. I just knew it that this was the same guy who were standing near the transformator before... he just changed. I turned back to Amy, not caring about this random person, even while i had a thought that maybe he/she was the one who brought Amy here. Just as i looked at her, i heard a howling sound and she started transforming into some kind of monster... It was like a werewolf, but bigger and had some unrecognizable parts on itself. That weird person behind me said nothing, but i heard in my mind as he/she was thinking "I told you". Ah well... how could i know that this was just a trick and not the real Amy? I flew up in the air away from this monster, then woke up. [I guess this dream wasn't so bad, despite the fact that it wasn't that clear as they are usually, but that's thanks to my recall... gotta work on it more now ] [I'm going back to sleep, since it's just 7:30 when writing this entry, so i hopefully be able to post another LD today ^^] [11:40AM Edit: Well, couldn't get another LD, sadly, just some regular dreams and a sleep paralysis ]

2/27/12 DILD The dream started at my old boy scout camp (looked nothing like it). There was a large canyon that divided our campsite from the rest of the camp. I am on the far side and there are a series of tunnels that appear to be made out of card board. I am heading back to the campsite when I see a squirrel. Just to be cute I pick up a peanut and offer it to him. He runs up and then wants more. The ground is covered in peanuts so I keep feeding him as we head back. I show a younger group of scouts the squirrel. As we head back over the canyon, we have to pull the bridge out behind us. There are a few people bringing up the rear. One has the large heavy suit that reminded me of the juggernauts in CoD. The guy next to me starts to pull the bridge before they are on. Being in a giant suit, the one guy isn't agile enough to make the small gap. He grabs onto the bridge and is hanging off. I run to help. I, for some reason, am holding some giant LED sign. I reach it toward him, and it turns out to be a very strong magnet. I help him get up and mention something about the magnet as we walk back. I am joined by some famous person who happens to be at the camp. I remember thinking ben would love to hear that this guy is here. There is some gap but we start to play a shooting game. We are getting set up and I have a sniper. As I get ready, the other team starts to sneak up from across a small valley. I have 3 perfect snipes on this one girl, but it doesn't do anything. I am kind of pissed. They start to come over to our side of the valley. I pick up a gun from the ground that is a sniper that shoots explosive arrows. I shoot a few at another girl's feet. One sticks her. None of them do any damage. I start walking around and people are shooting me with tiny pistols. I am talking about how none of these guns do any damage. I somehow pull up a screen where I can see my health. After letting some black guy shoot me for like 15 seconds straight at point blank, I still had 550 health out of 1500. I start walking away, but people keep chasing me. I am running along and eventually become lucid. I try to get away from these 3 guys chasing me. I can't fly because there is tree over my head. I quickly start climbing branches and reach the top in seconds. I try to fly but I can't get a good lift off because the tree branch bends down as I try to jump. I decide to use this to my advantage and start hanging from the edge of the largest branch. I pull it down to the ground and use it to catapult myself into the air. I reach the ground and launch up. However, I mistimed my arm pull and didn't launch far. I land back on the branch and go for it again. I time it right and get flung hundreds of feet. I land somewhere in the camp again. The game is still going on. I think it would be cool to morph into a transformer. Right when I think that, my point of view shifts and I am like 10 ft. tall. I walk forward and my movement is very stiff and robot-like. I can feel weird hinges bending. I reach forward and can shoot energy balls out of my hands. After shooting a few people, I thrust into the air and fly towards to stars. I lose the dream. (I never thought to look down at myself as a transformer or try to transform into something else, which would have been sweet)

Good morning, everybody. Dream #1 I was out in a park, possibly as part of a school group. We all had to run a mile course around the park. For some reason this seemed like a lot to me. We started running on a narrow dirt path. There was a dense row of short trees or tall shrubs, like junipers, to our left. I didn't really see anybody, and I myself felt like I was disembodied and floating over the dirt trail. We worked our way up a hill and then turned left, out onto a wide lawn of dry, tan grass. To the right was a residential area. I don't think it was a part of the course, but I ran out there anyway. My sister may have been with me. We went up one street, then turned back down it and headed toward the park. We then turned up another street, which curved around to the right a bit. Just around the curve we saw a group of "gangsters" standing all the way across the road, blocking the street. The "gangsters" were a group of four or five tall, white boys wearing baggy jeans and t-shirts. I knew those guys were nothing but trouble, especially for some guy and girl by themselves. So I turned myself and my sister around. We were walking by this time. I was still afraid of the "gangsters" up the block, but I kept walking calmly. I was a little worried about whether my sister (who may also have been like my girlfriend) would think I was a coward for being so afraid. As we approached the park, where I saw a few of my classmates (?) milling around after the run, I heard some hip-hop style song that I knew was popular. It was called "Destiny." (I had the melody in my head for a while, but I can't remember it now.) I suddenly got really afraid. It was like I'd gotten so close to safety, I didn't want to lose it now by having the "gangsters" catch up with me. So I ran all the way into the park, and even past some small pine tree twenty or thirty meters into the park. Dream #2 Two boys were driving a car on some road through the forest. The boys were both white, smart-looking, with kind of shaggy hairdos. One of the boys may have worn glasses. Some 1970s style song was playing on the car's radio. The forest outside looked fake, almost as if it were a slightly grainy or overexposed projection, like for a music video. The view of the forest then changed to a view of fields of some kind of red-purple, thistly flower (which I'm pretty sure I mistakenly thought of as poppies). The song also changed. It had previously been acoustic. But now, playing the same tune, it became electric. I knew that something bad was going to happen. The music had become too "fateful." And now the car crashed into a tree. I may have thought at first that the boys were dead. But they were now outside the car, standing as if hiding behind it, looking out for some place they could go for refuge. The two boys were on the outskirts of a college town. I may have thought it was Oxford. I was now in the scene, possibly as one of the boys or as myself. There was a tall church behind another, shorter building. The church seemed to be made of tan colored stone. An old man pointed the church out to us as one of the most famous buildings in this town. I mentioned another church, probably designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The man sighed in disgust and waved me off. He may have made a comment about how modern architecture isn't any good. I was now in some different area, walking away from a different old man and a couple other people, possibly including a woman. The old man made a comment to the woman about how she should be careful, because it was going to rain today. I walked down a straight road with flat fields of tall, tan grass (?) on either side of me. I wondered if it really would rain. It was so sunny right now. I didn't see how it could rain. But suddenly it started raining. It was a pretty heavy rain, and there were no clouds in the sky. I thought that it would only get worse once the clouds got here. I knew that would be terrible. I had a long way to walk, and no umbrella. I'd be soaking wet when I got home. I decided to fly home. I simply levitated myself into the air. I got three or four meters above the ground. Soon after I started flying, it stopped raining. But I felt unstable, like I could fall at any minute. To stabilize myself I pulled off my backpack (?). I re-fit it to myself, so that I was now using some bottom flap and belt-like straps as a seat. I now had a a lot more stability. I was pretty excited that I was flying "in waking life." But I told myself it was nothing unusual, and that as long as I stayed calm I'd keep flying. I flew up toward a pretty thick intersection of power lines. I thought I'd fly over them, as "in the past" I'd always flown under them. It was tough, though, from this distance, to get a steep enough angle where I could fly over the wires. Suddenly my sister was with me. I now saw some insulating coils connecting the wires to the poles. My sister, apparently thinking the coils were transformers, cried out, "Pop 'em! Pop 'em!" It was like she thought I could explode transformers with my mind. I may have tried to explain to my sister that I wasn't trying to focus on that right now. But suddenly we veered away from the road and the power lines. We went off to the left over a field, but probably near another road. I could see that up ahead was an intersection with a few buildings and shops, like a kind of busy rest station out on a long highway. But I was suddenly afraid to get up there. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to see the place once I got there, as if I didn't have enough "imagination" for it. I may have tried to remind myself that this was waking life, not a dream. If this was waking life, I wouldn't have to "imagine" that busy rest area. It would just be there. But my fear was too much for me. And I landed in the field. My sister and I turned around and walked back toward the road we'd veered off from. There was now a big mountain on the other side of the road. The road itself may have been a little up on the mountain's face. Dream #3 I was in "my family's bathroom" with my sister. My sister was telling me something about how to take a shower. It was pretty inconvenient, because there was something cluttering up the bathtub. My sister was now gone, and I was all by myself. But, in the place of a toilet, my sister had left something like a gigantic potty-training seat, which was blocking up a lot of the bathroom. On top of that, there was something like a big head from an almost life sized action figure on the toilet seat. I thought something to myself like, Isn't that just like my sister? To leave intruding signs of her presence, even when she isn't here? (My sister is *not* like that IWL.) But I decided not to be bothered by it. I'd just go take a shower. But as I was getting into the shower, my mom banged on the door. She said, "I've got some bad stuff on you! Now I know what you've done to those kids!" I thought, All my life I've been waiting for my mom to pin some kind of big thing on me. And I always knew it would have something to do with kids. There's nothing she could legitimately blame me for. But I'll find out what she's going to try and pin on me. So I left the bathroom. My mom was sitting in the living room with my nephews, who were all little. My mom said, "You bought those kids Transformers for Christmas! You know they can't transform those things. It's just too frustrating for them. Plus, the parts break off! That's too dangerous." My mom was playing with a little, yellow Transformer, about the color of a Caterpillar tractor. The Transformer had a little button on its chest. I agreed with my mom that I'd made a bad choice in toys for my nephews. But I couldn't see how that would make me a bad person. I looked up or over to a long set of drawers. On top of the drawers there stood a big toy. It was green and plastic, and it looked like a weird mix between a Venus Fly-Trap and a crane. The claw-scoop of the crane was connected to the rest of the toy by a black, elastic string. The claw-scoop was closed, but I saw out of the top of it some pieces of what looked like a gigantic version of the Transformer Optimus Prime. Put together, I guessed, this Optimus Prime toy must have been almost a meter tall! I got the idea that you could break apart the Optimus Prime toy. Then you could make the crane pick up the broken pieces. But -- somehow -- when the claw-scoop opened, it would actually move all the pieces together in such a way that the toy would be reconstructed.
