Lucid-Wannabe's Dream Journal

WBTB attempt:
I went to sleep around midnight and then woke up at 4:30am. I went out to my livingroom and sat with the lights very dimmed as I worked on waking up my mind. I didn't move around much to keep my body from waking up too much. Went back to sleep at 5:00am - unfortunately no lucids but these following dreams were fairly bright.

Dream 1

I was walking by a bunch of very small stores side by side like a strip mall. Looking in through the windows I notice that they all seem to be mainly selling books, one store sold magazines.

The owner of the magazine store was walking with me and I was going to show her my store which was maybe 5 stores down from hers.

As we are walking I suddenly know that these stores have very cheap leases. I now begin to wonder if some of these stores are personal libraries of some people and not stores at all.

We reach the door of my store, there is a finger scanner I use to unlock the door. But then I notice there’s another scanner beneath it. The second scanner appears to unlock the door via a ‘jawprint scanner’ that a dog bites into with a small enclave going into the wall for a dog to stick its snout into to bite on for identification.

As I’m looking at this weird second scanner I notice there’s drool on it, so a dog (my dog?) must have used it to unlock the door recently.

My shop is also full of books, we end up having coffee at a small glass table out front of the shop. Before we went out I grabbed some paper towels to clean up the dog jaw scanner.

Dream 2

It’s night out and I’m a floating perspective coming down into a parking lot. My view is zooming into one of the many cars there which I am to understand is mine, it’s not the same as my waking life car.

A van hurriedly drives beside my car and someone gets out and crouches by the front bumper and does something then quickly jumps back into the van, the person was dressed in black with a ski mask on.

There was an old man parked on the other side of my car, we were parked nose to nose. He seemed to be living out of his truck as it had all sorts of trinkets and really random items in it.

I’m no longer a floating perspective and I’m now looking at my bumper where the ski mask guy was. I can’t tell that anything was done to my car but I have the feeling that a RFID tag or something similar was applied to some part of my car in that area.

So I went over to the old guy in his truck to ask him if he may have seen what happened. He had a white scruffy beard and really well worn clothes, he had a beanie on his head.
I asked him if he saw what the guys did that pulled up a moment ago. He seemed really aloof and asked me to repeat myself a few times and sort of hinted at not seeing anything but it was hard getting any direct answers out of him.

He then gets a little more lucid and is proud to tell me that he has been scientifically tested and proven to be one of the least likely people to ‘say yes, to trying new things.’
