    1. Trampoline Fun

      #470 - DEILD - 12:07AM

      I wake up slightly, but have enough mindfulness to try to DEILD. It's pretty dark at first and I spend a lot of time making walking motions with my goal as my mantra (Jump on the trampoline). When the walking feels vivid enough, I decide to clap my hands and slap my face as hard as I can. There is a dull sound and tingling sensation upon impact. I now move on to my goal and imagine myself jumping on the trampoline in my back yard. The view of my backyard quickly fills in, but it's still really dark. I don't like this bother and I begin to jump extra high. The sensation of falling back down gets my stomach at first and I have to try really hard not to let it bother me. I notice how high I get as I watch the roofs of houses falls below me. After a few moments I get bored with this and latch on to an impossibly tall tree and climb up. I can clearly see limbs and bright greens leave as I make my way higher and higher. I see another tree close by and I decide to jump over to that one then swing down by hanging on the end of a long thin branch.
      My brother is standing on the ground looking at me. "How did you do that?", he asks.
      What does he mean doesn't he know this is a dream? I answer, "I'm just like a squirrel. It works the same way."

      I am now standing in the main room of my house and I see my son smiling at me. I leap up and kick of a near wall to glide over him. I imagine flying is a lot like swimming as I swim all around the room like its a pool. My son chases me smiling and laughing and I get a chuckle out of it. For some reason I want my brother to see this and I decide to look for him in the kitchen, but he is no where to be found. Then, I become afraid that I will lose the recall of this dream so I decide to wake up.


      I quickly record my dream and suddenly feel myself sinking back into that half dream zone.

      I find myself wondering around some version of my house with my son. A set of non-existent stairs appear and we climb up them together. I am really curious what I will find, but I suddenly wake up again. I totally forgot that I had put my knees up while recording in my DJ and my left leg had flopped over, waking me up.

      I only have recall of one other non lucid dream for the night. It was like a movie and these boys had entered into a cartoon world. They tried to find a solution to the problem.

      #423 - DILD - 6:08AM

      I'm at Subway. Some man is being a jerk to a woman and she leaves him and comes to sit at my table. She becomes very flirty and ends up asking me to join her for diner later. She's older, but extremely attractive (she looks a lot like Zooey Deschanel) so I say 'yes'. I tell her that she is very beautiful and she responds with a flirty smile.

      Later, I am walking up a sandy hill with sparse vegetation and I get the idea that I am very near the ocean. I'm preoccupied with the conversation with the woman and I keep replaying certain parts in my mind. I keep thinking that I sounded like an idiot the way I told her she was beautiful, but I think I am just being paranoid because she still wants to see me again. I suddenly become semi-lucid as I walk up this hill realizing that I no of this would ever happen. I anticipate seeing the ocean as I reach the top but the hill seems to morph in an odd way so that I never quite reach the top.

      I am non-lucid in some industrial building. I see the woman again and we have some pleasant conversation that I can't recall. I then leave and somehow become lucid as I step outside. I look around and see that I am at some shipyard with storage containers all over the place. I get the feeling that I am in 'the bay area' and still near the ocean. I feel a love for this area and feel like I remember it from somewhere I lived long ago. I am overwhelmed with a feeling of nostalgia and I shout, "I LOVE THIS TOWN!" I walk along a type of boardwalk among the multi-colored storage containers. I see some containers are floating in the water and decide to play around by jumping from one to the other. I notice that though I can see water I can't see out into the bay because there seems to be a high wall of storage containers surrounding the area. I end up having some trouble jumping far enough and I barely grab on to the edge. I have to pull myself up on top and I find the effort is exhausting. This happens several times and I wonder why I am not able to just fly around. When I stand up, I am now on a concrete area inside a warehouse. There is an metal can like paint thinner would come in and has some logo on it. There is a green label with black letters that read "Ivory". My brother walks up looking overly disgusted and annoyed to the point that it seems cartoonish. He says, "Oh you've been talking to Ivory [the woman]. Good! Take her out of here. See that can? It's says 'Ivory'. Take anything that says 'Ivory' and get it out of here. He turns, storms off, and I wake up.
    3. The Dipshit Brother

      by , 08-12-2013 at 11:40 PM (Xanous' Dream Journal)
      set the alarm for 3:00AM (5 hours sleep) but I was way too tired for a WBTB or to even to do any induction this morning. So all I did was go pee and then straight to bed and repeated a mantra. "I will remember my dreams and know that I am dreaming." I probably got only 3 or 4 repeats before passing out.

      #211 - 4:08AM - DILD

      I have a false awakening in a recliner and look around. I see that I am in the first house I bought with my ex but there is only one DC in the room. My brother is taking apart a old bookcase or entertainment center with a hammer. The piece of furniture looks like is it made of old and weathered 1x4. I am confused that my brother came to visit me. I have no memory of is planned visit from Texas and become even more confused whats going on. I stand up and speak to my brother, "Hey, Tim. What are you doing?"
      He replies, "Nothing. It's just a dream."
      At first I feel embarrassed and think that he is just making fun of me for my lucid dreaming. He called me a hippie once in waking life and I feel like he's just messing with me again. I say, "Oh funny. I mean why are you here?" If he answered I can't remember because I suddenly have to know what time it is. I look behind me and see a oven with a clock. The time is 23:01. We never use military time and I let out a confused, "Whaaat?"
      Tim looks at me, "I told you this was a dream." This is getting really silly so I do a nose plug but my breathing feels obstructed.

      I look around and see that house looks different in a lot of ways. Tim is now doing something with a sheet of Sheetrock. As I stare blankly at him I realize the whole process is really distorted and odd. I decide I better make a more through RC and really try to blow through the nose plug this time. The RC proves I am dreaming but I do one more nose plug to be sure. I realize that my sinus feel slightly clogged and figure that's why I didn't quite pass the RC the first time. I say to my brother, "Oh wow this is a dream! I'm such a dipstick."
      "Suck shit, dick-shit-dipstick." was his only reply. From some reason I find this to be completely hilarious and laugh my ass off at him for a moment. After I collect myself, I repeat the phrase back to him to be sure I can remember it when I wake up. While I do so I look over at a woman who is staring at me. I think it must be my wife but I ignore her and turn back to my brother but he has now vanished. I look throughout the house, "Dude where'd you go?" I call his name several times but quickly decide to let it go. "By the way, I totally believed you the first time." (lie) "Thanks though. Thanks Tim." I feel grateful to him for getting me lucid. But wait, that probably wasn't Tim. That was actually a part of me. I call out one more time, "Thanks subC!"

      I see the front door and decide its adventure time. I try to think of a goal I had but I draw a blank. I become afraid that I am waking up and try to maintain. I calm myself and reach for the doorknob wondering what will be out there waiting for me.
      Suddenly, I hear my son crying out and feel the bed move as my wife gets up.

    4. I win!

      by , 03-01-2013 at 01:22 PM (Xanous' Dream Journal)
      This dream is kind of mixed up. This first one was fairly long but my memory of it is misplaced. I hope to remember it later.

      I am at some family gathering. I talk to my dad about Christians being judgmental and am surprised that he agrees with me. I think this is were I got lucid. I remember not doing much just messing around with the dream. Was I trying to make fire in my hand? I remember being on fire.

      *memory gap*

      I am out in my car looking for something. As I am walking back inside some house my nephew S jumps out in front of me and wants me to play a game with him. I tell him maybe later.

      *memory gap*

      At some point I lay down to sleep. I am at a table with my sis and bro and their spouses. We are playing some sort of D&D game. We all have large white chips in front of us that signify something unknown. The game master is my younger sister and she is giving my brother a scenario. Responds with "I do declare that ...." I stop listening because I am sitting there somewhat introspective and realize I am dreaming. Next is my sister-in-law B's turn. But I skip her and stand up. I say, "I do declare that I am dreaming!" I jump up on the table and do pelvic thrusts. I shout "Oh yea bitches! Who's the winner now? I am, because I am dreaming and you're all not real." I briefly wonder if I am making a fool of myself but then I notice their reactions. They have none. They have become lifeless and motionless. The scene fades.

      I have a FA. Apparently I was sleeping next to my nephew M who was next to my brother and then his wife on the other end. My brother gets up. I am thinking about the lucid I just had. I remember there was another one before that one and I try to focus on that too. But then my Sis-in-law B says that she is pregnant. My mom comes in from the other room and says, "WHAT!?" B simply says again, "I am pregnant."

      I have many thoughts about this but mostly, "They are too old for that." My brother looks stressed and is just standing in the hallway looking at pictures on the wall. I realize the awkwardness or lying in a bed next to my pregnant sis-in-law. Then a ceiling fan above us falls apart and pieces hit the bed. We both get up. I walk behind B and she is waddling with a large stomach. She turns into a bathroom and I pause. I really need my Galaxy Player to enter my dream. I go back to the bed and look. I see M there still a sleep. I wake up.
