I tried the Galantamind again last night. I didn't get any good lucids, though I'm pretty sure I had one DEILD. It was pretty low level. But I did recall a full five dreams. I think that has more to do with the fact that I slept for almost 10 hours and made a point of remembering to write them down, even the first one of the night than the fact that I took the Galantamind.
Okay, here we go.
Scary Ronald McDonald at mall In the first dream, I was working for Sunglass Hut again. I haven't worked there since the beginning of 2002. I remember being in the store, and Shelley, my co-worker and skipping-out-on-work buddy was there with me. All I remember was that she was a photographer. I think me and Bob, my boss from when I worked there, were talking about her photographs.
I guess my shift ended, and I walked out into the parking lot with Bob. We were talking, but I don't remember about what. Near the back of the parking lot, there was water falling from the sky. I couldn't see where it was coming from, but it was like falling on a round spot a little smaller than a car. From the side of this waterfall, a smaller stream of water was coming out perpendicularly and falling next to it.
I walked back towards the mall and in the parking lot was this really scary Ronald McDonald. He reminded me of that picture of the girl Ronald McDonald eating a human arm. He was chasing around this little girl with red hair and yellow makeup. I guess she was like a child McDonald's clown. She ran back to the mall and the police came out of the doors and arrested him. Then I woke up.
Harry Potter at the library In the next dream, I was Harry Potter. I was in a library in a line of students and was checking out 2 books on math. I went out the doors and Ted, one of the big shots at the company where I work, was signing the front of them as part of the checkout. It really looked and sounded 100% like him too. Nothing of the usual DC's who don't really resemble their real life counterparts, but I just know that's who they are. He said he would have to sign it every week. I guess they had problems with people stealing or not returning books or something, and this was supposed to prevent it. I don't remember anything else, but I woke up after this one and wrote these two dreams down.
SNL car accident In my third dream, some members of the cast of Saturday Night Live had visited Alaska. The only one I recognized was Tina Fey. (But she wasn't as like her real self as Ted was in the previous dream). There had been a car accident up there, and they were now reenacting it for the show. I remember the words "Someone coming at us wants to pass." I knew in my dream that this somehow caused a head-on collision. I woke up again, and wrote this one down.
Then I got up, 5 minutes before my alarm was supposed to go off actually, and took my Galantamind. I woke myself up pretty good. Brushed my teeth, used the toilet. The cats were acting restless, so I figured they had run out of chows, but when I went to the basement, the bowl was still full. I did an RC. I was awake.
I went BTB, but couldn't get to sleep for like almost an hour. Luckily I did before the Galantamind kicked in.
Parma Electric/Rude Mexicans DEILD In my next dream, I was driving my car, and there were these 2 Mexicans sitting in the street. They were supposed to be pushing this blue cart, like the ones they have at Lowes, but they were being lazy I guess. I pulled my car really close to them, and they got up and got their cart. They were staring at me like they were mad. The one guy pushing it turned the back end into my car and hit it on purpose. I was really mad and decided I wasn't gonna take that crap. This part is pretty vivid. I remember being nervous, because I knew a fight was coming. I wondered if I could really take both of those guys. I think I may have been semi-lucid at this point because I was pretty confident. I think it crossed my mind that this was a dream and of course I could take them. I don't remember for sure though.
I got out of my car and looked at it. It was really bad. Worse than it should have been after just being bumped by the corner of a Lowe’s cart. The front edge of the door was bent in, and so was the back edge of the front fender and the rear-view mirror. I didn’t see any scratches though. So I looked at the guys and started yelling or something. The fight didn’t happen though, because then all the people they worked with, their supervisors and stuff came over and were standing around. They seemed to care and were apologetic that the kid hit my car.
Here’s now where I’m pretty sure I got lucid. I briefly woke up from this and remembered to DEILD. I felt vibrations, but, like usual, that’s all that happened. I was suddenly back in the dream though. I was in the store that I assume those guys worked for. There was a lady behind the counter, and I think she was worried I was going to sue them. I think she was the owner of the store. It was like a small hardware or electrical parts store, (kinda like Parma Electric on W. 130th).
I wasn’t really attracted to the lady but since I was lucid, you can imagine where I wanted this to go. I didn’t have much control, but right away, there was this roulette wheel of all these girls. I knew I was supposed to pick the one I wanted from these girls. Pictures were flashing rapidly in front of me. I saw one that I thought was hot, and concentrated on her every time her picture passed, and tried to will it to come up more often. Finally, I was back in the store, and I saw a triangular shaped box, about 2 feet long with the girl’s picture on it. The reason I’m pretty sure I was lucid is because next, I took the box to the counter said to the lady, “Tell me where I can find her and I won’t be mad at you.” (I knew that it was only a dream car so I didn’t care if she paid to have it fixed or not, but I wanted that girl). She seemed happy and told me the girl was about an hour away from there and that she was a musician. I was upset because that seemed like a long way away. I think I went after her, and ended up in what I’m calling my next dream, because I lost lucidity.
Sony Flintstones movie So, in my last dream of the night, I had gone after the girl on the triangular box, and I arrived at a McDonalds. I lost lucidity, like I said, and I was now a part of this Flintstones movie that was being made by Sony. Yeah, so someone gave me this rifle. It had a trigger and stock and was just like a real rifle, but it didn’t shoot bullets. There was this suede leather slingshot-type thing on the front of it, and it shot stones. I had a small roll of string that came with it, and was supposed to use it to set up the slingshot mechanism. At this point, I didn’t know that, so instead, I used just the leather sling and put the roll of string in it and shot that across the McDonalds. It worked pretty good. Not lethal at all, but like you would expect from a Flintstones gun.
I was looking at other peoples’ rifles and saw that they had their string tied to this like figure eight metal thing attached to the front, and I realized that I had been doing it wrong.
Then I sat down with these black people. (I think black people must be my dreamsign. Especially having a meal with black people. I see them a lot. I don’t know why, but I do). There was one guy who was going on and on about how Sony had given them everything. He was pointing to all the things in the McDonald’s around him, which were painted bright colors, blue, red, pink, green… and saying stuff like, “See this molding? Sony gave this to us.” I realized that he was a person who only existed in the movie and it was true, Sony was like his god.
The owner of the McDonald’s, who was black too, wanted to give my mom a job. She thought that they were just going to ask her to be assistant manager, but later discovered they wanted her to be head manager. She had already decided to turn down the offer. They seemed pretty mad about it. They had been nice to us before, (though I don’t remember that part of the dream), but now wouldn’t even talk to us.
It was near my birthday, so they had given me a birthday cupcake, with this like, conical birthday candle on top. Me and my mom walked up to the counter because we wanted to order some food, and they owner and cashier didn’t even say anything to us. We just stood there, uncomfortable, and the cashier finally said, “Well, is that all?” referring to my cupcake. I said, no, I’d like a… Big Mac meal. (I hardly ever get a Big Mac because it has an absurd amount of calories). I knew this in the dream, but figured it was just this once, so it was okay. That’s all I remember, and that was the end of my dreaming for the night.
Wow, that was a lot of writing.
So, the Galantamind did get me a lucid, I’m pretty sure, just not very high level. Still, it was better than immediately waking up like the last time, and it was a DEILD, which is something I’ve never done before.
I’m going to keep trying the autosuggestion. Last night I said, “I will wake up after all my dreams and I will remember them all,” and “I am dreaming, and I know that I am dreaming,” until I fell asleep. That seemed to work pretty good.
EDIT: Shoot, I remember one other thing now, like 3 days later. I had a false awakening somewhere in all these dreams. I was trying to write down a dream on my notepad. I had this ring on that was shaped like a spider and had an LED in it so that I could illuminate my notepad and see what I was writing. (that's really a good idea. I would pursue making something like that if I didn't usually write with my eyes closed anyway). My wife woke up and got out of bed. I hid my notepad under the covers and put out the light. That's all I remember. I wish I would've done an RC here. It was really real, and I could've had a great LD from this.
