      Last night bed 9:15pm - 8:45am

      DR
      I'm visiting New York with a group of people. We are walking the streets and we sti on the steps to the park, under some trees. I'm asking them what they want to see. I have been to NY before, so I can take them to see the sites. I suggest we go and walk through Manhattan. I ask them if they wanna see the Statue of Liberty.

      DR
      I come to the large, indoor sports facility. There are some kids playing volleyball. I'm thinking of playing something too. They are not professionals, just kids from neighborhood playing. I'm thinking of signing up and joining bedminton club.

      As I keep walking to find adult players, I walk through something like a fair. There are clothes hanging and people milling around, buying and looking.

      DR
      Me, my dad, mom and brother going to visit my brother in jail. I'm very mad about it. Not sure about what I'm so angry about. We are taking him some food. Officer escorts us to his cell through long, winding corridors. We come to his cell, where he is together with others. I stand at the door, but then realize I'm not suppose to go inside. He will come out and we will all sit at the benches for visits.

      After we leave, me and my brother have to go back for something. I take my shoes off and then I have to walk without them. I shouldn't have taken them off.

      We were suppose to wait for the officer to escort us, but I think we can find his cell ourselves. We hop on a train, that goes around the facility (like trains at airports). We see from the train where to go and we hope train will go there. We get off and wanna take a different train. I fail to get on and a girlfriend I'm with I yeling at me through the glass where she will wait for me.

      ***
      Between my last DJ entry and now, I have had dreams every night. Didn't wanna write them down, coz they were not good.

      Something about my mom, then some huge worms in the yard...

      Thursday 8/8/13

      Last night bed 12am - 7:30am

      As I was falling asleep, I thought I'll try to have a DILD that night. So I was looking at back of my eyelids while saying "I'm dreaming".
      I thought I got lucid 2 times last night in a DILD. But there was no excitement and I'm leaning towards these being false lucids.

      DR 1 - I'm on a street car/trolley, going up slight hill. I sit on the driver's side, by the window. I'm marveling at the architecture of tall buildings with red tile roofs in typical Korean/Japanese style. I'm thinking how cool it would be if it was North Korea, but I know it could also be South Korea. That's when I realize I forgot my camera again (this is becoming a recurring issue for 20 years now).

      I hear the tram's bell ringing and we switch to going backwards. I'm not worried, thinking trains do that sometimes. But then I see the guy in front of me looking back with worry and lady on my right is kinda screaming.

      I look back and as we are rolling backwards, a truck that's all silver chrome is coming up the hill. It is just a few feet away and I cradle my head to brace for impact. I'm trying to think how else to protect myself and I move my leg a little to different position. At the same time I know we are gonna hit, but we will be ok.

      We end up not colliding after all. But we start rolling again, I look back, and there is an elefant coming up tha hill, just a few feet from the back of the trolley. Some light purple liguid is squirting from his feet to the ground, as a street sweeper truck. Again, people scream, I brace, but we don't crash.

      DR 2 - I'm sitting at the table with two man. Son and father. They are dressed in black. I'm still in North Korea. They cooked a feast for me and I feel so bad, because I know they have very little and don't want them to give it to me. There is a boiled/grilled chicken quarterd up on a tray, and something that looks unapetizing, like soft brains or something. One of the man lifts from the chair and in broken english tells me that that dish or recipe is from his grandfater. I'm telling him not to give me a lot, but he says "eh, no, here is another scoop" and puts another spoonful of goop on my plate. I start eating the chicken but I know I have to eat the other thing too as not to offend them.

      One of the man walks by with an IV bag for his son.

      That's when I say "hey, you guys, this is a dream, I'm in a lucid dream. That's when you realize in your dream that you are dreaming". With these words I'm already standing at the window, one leg out the window and a smile on my face. I fly off.

      I cross the street and enter a buildng. I'm fying through some corridors and large rooms of what looks like an underground warehouse. I'm still in North Korea and I thing police is after me now. I'm flying between and over some large stacks of pallets, looking for a corner for me to hide in.

      But nobody is rushing after me so I decide to get out of there. I'm stopping at crossroads and looking around, then turning to direction where the most light is coming from.

      I'm out of the warehouse, flying up some short stairs, ending up in a large marbled hallway with deli shops. I thinking if this is still North Korea and I feel bad for all people there who are not privileged enough to shop and eat there.

      I'm sitting someplace when I say "oh, this is still a dream". not sure what I did after. I feel like I was fighting to retain lucidity.

    3. Airport; being poor

      Wednesday, 6/19/13

      last night bed 11:30

      DR1 - 4:18am
      I'm waiting in the line at the airport. Thinking they should have checked my passports already, before they check some other document. Then I see that the officer in front of me checks both. It's my turn. Another officer out of the both asks for my passport. I give it to him. He asks about an orange/blue piece of string he can see on my shoulder. I tell him it's from repairing the zipper on the pocket of my orange/blue jacket. And I also had other pockets reinforced. I know that may sound suspicious to him, and it does. Then they talk about codes on my ticket. It used to mean Budapest or Bratislava, but now it means Brussels. I guess those are the via airports.

      DR 7:55am
      I'm poor. Living with a poor family. We are going to look for a new place to live. It's in the basement of a school. We walk through halls full of students until we come to small, dark room, with dry leaves in the corner and on the small window that's up high, like a basement window would be.

      Then we have people bringing some food items and shampoo and stuff. Sux to be poor.

    4. Long and weird; pregnant again

      Saturday, 6/8/13

      Last night bed 9:30pm

      DR 11:30 pm - Long dream about becoming lucid and going about having fun in a LD. I'm assuring myself that I'm not scared to go through walls, because I want to get to another place and that's a good way to do it.

      DR 3:19 am - Friend of mine lives on a huge mountain that's to the left of my house. I'm surprised that I never knew she lives there.

      So we start slowly walking up the hill to her house. It's a long winding dirt path going through very different areas.

      1. We come up to a field with some trees in a row - like a windbreak. Right above the path are huge and imposing power lines. I'm looking through them to the rocky mountains quite near behind them, partially covered with snow. I look at the clouds. They look like before or after storm. I ask why is there such a different weather than below the hill. I get an answer, that different weather fronts are meeting right there, so there is lots of storms and cooler weather. I look below at the large lake. It's a nice place and I like it a lot.

      I'm worried that a thunderstorm is gonna start any minute. We are at a bad spot, right beneath the power lines. So I start running to the left through the field. I see a small area, that looks like a memorial for fallen soldiers. As I come closer, it's actually a memorial for someones wedding. I see small picture of bride and groom.

      There are some candles and old, chewed up, barely still showing their yellow original color tennis balls, arranged in a semi circle. A kid sits down and starts throwing the balls at the memorial. I give him a speech about respect.

      2. Another area is like a small alpine village. Steep, winding path between houses. Friend shows me her house in the distance, but I'm not sure which one she is pointing at.

      3. Next I'm walking through a multistory restaurant. The path is apparently going through it. I can't find my way. Waiters are busy preparing meals for something big. One of them starts yelling at me "no, no, don't step there". I look down and there are some plates wtih food and gravy boats. I tell him to chill, I wasn't gonna step on them. But then a piece of meat falls out from the sandwich I'm eating and he gets pissed that it almost fell into the gravy. I'm thinking "what the hell is food doing on the floor anyway". I ask him where is exit and he points me to it.

      4. As I exit the restaurant, I find myself standing on a train platform in 19th. century Japan. I hear the words "Fukuoka" and "Dobare". A japanese woman with a child is pointing at a sign in Japanese written on the wall behind the tracks. It apparently means that direction goes to Tokyo. I'm thinking, how in the world am I going to continue my trip around the world, now that I'm stuck in 19. century Japan. No airplanes, just slow boats. I figure, since I'm already here, I should stay for about a year to really get to know the place.

      DR 7:26am - Someone is pregnant again, either me or my brother. I'm with my cats in my old room, boy cat has a baby.

      Wednesday, 6/5/13

      Last night bed 12am-7:30am

      DR: I'm swimming in a very shallow coastal waters, that are gorgeous tropical blue. There are some killer whale size fish swimming in circles. If we swim behind them, with our arm stretched out in just the right way, we suppose to be able to follow them easily, without much effort.

      Later I'm looking down at the shore from a small cliff. I'm asking a friend of mine, what she wants to do for the next week, because it turns out, we are here for one week vacation.

      She says "I wanna go in the water" which makes me happy, because secretly I wished she would say that. But she also wants to visit a large city that's nearby. Looks like it's New York. We also looking at the map, trying to remember which large city did we go through, so we can visit it too. Someone asks if we wanna go to maybe Budapest, or Kahira. I have a feeling we are in north of Poland, so both cities are just a short hop on the airplane. I decline Budapest, since we can get there anytime (here I correctly remember from WL where I live). So I pick Kahira.

      Next trip we are doing is NY. Waiting at the train station platform, trains pulls up, but in different direction and stops further to the left. We all start running, thinking it's our train, that later will turn around to go our direction.

      Two friends of mine are ahead of me and I lose track of them. I look for them in the windows, but don't see them. Loudspeaker says train will be moving soon, need to get on. So I open the door and some people fall out. Looks like it's packed fool. But as I get on, I see bunch of free space, even some empty seats. I start cursing at dumbass people blocking the entrance and not sitting down.

      I got on in the last wagon, so I can walk and sweep the train looking for my friends. There are some mean looking thugs at the passage door to the second wagon. Something happens and I open the door. I see the connection between two wagons and I walk into next wagon. As I make my way by bunch of people, I see a friend of mine looking backwads toward me calling my name. I see them and we are reunited. Then he tells me, we are going the wrong way. Will have to get off at next station and wait for our train.

      Wednesday, 5/8/13

      Last night bed 12am - 7:30am

      DR: With my best friend M on a train. Arriving to the bus depo and going from there. Bying some newspaper and checking out books. (I do love newspaper and books in WL.)

      Something about being with a group in mountains.

      Didn't want to take a nap today. Last few days couldn't pull of a WILD, perhaps because I'm so used to morning naps, it's just like another normal sleep time.

      So I read some OBE articles and got so excited, that I decided to take a nap afterall. I go on sofa at 12pm. Got some weightless sensations very soon. Did some rhyming mantra and breathing. Started to feel as if rotating on axes, but couldn't make it stronger. So I tried to get the falling feeling, in which a succeeded little later on.

      WILD
      Got some gorgious HH images. A huge, colorful wasp on light burgundy background and two other images of two more insects. But I had my heart set on OBE.

      I got some vibrations and tried to open my real eyes to see if I can see any hallucinations in my room. I managed to open left eye and I saw myself laying on sofa, same position as I knew I was. I had same pants on I did in WL. I noted my hand was in strange position, but I knew that's how I had it IWL. I couldn't move my head, so I had limited view to my right, where the window is. Room was fully lit, as I knew it was. Tried to pry open my right eye and succeeded for a moment, but almost immediatelly lost sight in both eyes. (So, it wasn't my WL eyes, but my dream eyes I had opened.)

      Before I lost sight, I tried to get up and I felt myself getting up and it was the strangest feeling, because at the same time I saw my body not moving. It was almost as if I was saying to my body "I'm going, are you staying?" I got up and ended up in my aunties bathroom. I was still trying to have OBE, so this experience ended, because I was not trying to keep it alive.

      I'm back on sofa, saying "up, up". But I realized I'm getting too needy and I shouldn't. Can't help it, I really want it. I have to prepare myself better next time.

    7. Hef! Hef! Hefner Industries!

      , 02-28-2013 at 04:57 AM (Turquoise Dreams)
      Last night 2/26/13 Tuesday bed time 12:45am - 9am

      DR 7am
      I'm in a house in the canyon. I'm sleeping over with some other people. Trying to pick bedroom to sleep in. I think the rooms are haunted so I take my blankets to the sofa.

      Nap 12:15 - 2:30

      I knew it's gonna be good, because body started to relax in just a few minutes. Couldn't decide if to go for OBE or WILD, so kept mixing up the mantras. Did protection, tried to wiggle astral body. Finally fell asleep. Woke up to something later and got into a WILD.

      When WILD faded away, I thought to myself "wait a minute, I'm still lucid. I refuse to just lose lucidity. Have to get into another LD. I did this about 4 time.

      Details have faded away, because last attempt to retain lucidity failed and I fell into a long non-lucid.

      LDs
      - As I'm floating through a arched corridor with some wires and lights on the wall, I decide to eat a lightbulb, because I remembered how others ate some. So I smash it in my hand and start eating. I was wondering how it will taste like. It didn't taste like anything, but slightly on the nasty side. Was crunchy as expected. It stuck to my fingers as if it was melted sugar. My finger hurt as I was biting the hardened sugar bulb off of it and I was worried that I may accidentally bite my finger off.

      - I float into a small grocery store. Stop by candy isle and decide to eat something else. I pick a small yellow baggy of gummy candy. Turn it around and start reading the ingredients. I don't like gummies from apple juice.
      These are the ingredience:

      Hef! Hef! Hefner Industries!

      I was laughing my head off in the store. I gave some of the candy to someone else.

      - I remember other exits, each one totally different than the other. When WILDing, I made a plan to stay in my room and explore. I remember one LD I'm in my room, looking around, thinking "ok, I explored, now lets get out of here"

      Non-lucid
      I'm in a van. Bunch of other people. We are stopped somewhere. Someone offended someones sister so bunch of angry girls come to car and try opening the doors. We try to shut them.

      Then I'm walking on a promenade by a huge lake in Mexico. I see hotdogs float by, nicely arranged. I wonder what the hell? Then I see a person grilling hot dogs, saying "finally they delivered the hot dogs". He ment the onse that floated to him.

      Looking for a place to sit inside the restaurant, then picking a table nicely decorated with small round vases with red flowers. I'm kinda not happy, I would rather try some authentic mexican food than food from turist trap restaurant.

      Walking through customs with lots of other people. The oficer is telling me that dollar is in the crapper, with 1 peso eqaling 1 dollar.

      Good feeling from the whole thing, had bunch of fun with exits. Gotta love them.

      I'm in Himalayas in a gift shop. Looking for a preticular gift shop, because I know I have been there on a previous trip and they had some great postcards but I didn't have time to buy them. So I want to buy them this time. They don't have them, so I want to buy tibetan or nepalese wooden bead necklace, but hey have only something really big. I want something simle. Finally find the gift shop with the postcards.
      There is a vendor by whose accent I guess he is polish. But his wife speaks to me in slovak. Suddenly there is another friend of mine - former classmate.
