-DILD because S is with me and C in some kind of music store. I get really excited about her being there and try to get C pumped up about it too, but he doesn't really care too much. Me and S hang out at a rack of what looks like post cards. On the cards are sexy pics of Mu that both of us freak out over. C is not impressed lol. S is wearing some clothes that are not normal for her; they have lots of bright blues on top of the usual black. Her attitude is unusually perky, too. She leads us out to her car and as we go outside C turns into Mu, now wearing a baggy black sweater, dark jeans and some sexy shades. After S shows us the awesomeness of her ride, which seems to be a black Chevy Neon, Mu gets in the driver's seat and S climbs into the back where I'd been planning to sit. Surprised, I say, "So I get to sit next to Mu?" and she seems surprised that I even questioned it. I speed around to the passenger side and get in and my recall ends.

-DILD again on the back porch of some semi-familiar house. It's dawn and the sun has not yet risen. Pink light bathes the open field and treeline in front of me and creates a beautiful scene. The air feels great, too. I am astonished that this is a dream, but I just KNOW it is so I start singing to the beauty and floating up. I "take a chance" and fly out over the trees. The light begins to fade and it seems more like deep twilight now. There are big, incandescent floodlights spaced far apart throughout the forest I am now above and I go to each of these like a moth. I land at each light and look around. There's a crude dirt road (not big enough for a reg. car in my opinion, more like for an ATV or 4-wheeler) that winds past each of the lights and nothing else around but the pine forest. I'm no longer singing, but there is some music that has taken over with the same tune and I'm really enjoying it, very peaceful and happy. I fly up and land on top of something tall, I think a tree, and take a good look around. Big fluffy pink clouds are gathered along dips in the land like steam and I start to see tribal-looking DCs running around. Some of them are singing to the song and some are dancing with each other. Some young ones are playing with each other, just tumbling around on the ground. I get caught up in the fun and lose recall for a bit.

-Recall starts back up and I'm lucid again with a couple of generated cat anthro DCs, a girl and a boy. The girl is a soft pink and the boy is dark stripey blue/black. We are exploring at twilight and find ourselves at a creepy wooden shack. I go inside alone and start exploring. I start to see chopped up pieces of anthro bodies all around and as I get deeper the quantity of these increases. I find no doors and start to hear crazy cackling laughter echoing all around. I confront my fears head on and continue walking through, determined not to give in to the freakishness. I finally reach a room that is practically FILLED with bloody, skinned body parts and the cackling is REALLY LOUD. I turn the last corner and all there is is a small table and chair. On the table is a rotten green-fleshed cat anthro head with a huge grin and white eyes. I sit next to it, grin in its face, and laugh. I figure I might as well go out the same way I came in, so I do so without incident. The girl cat anthro is still outside, so for fun I throw her in the door and slam it behind her as I leave.. so mean lmao. Recall ends here.

Got to bed really late and had no hope of getting lucid, but somehow it worked out! Woke up several times and the last bit was lucid!

-WILD into my livingroom, feeling very prickly. I feel like all my hair is standing on end and really hard, like plastic. In some spots the hairs feel like plastic hooks like on velcro. Sounds are really loud and clear and things feel freaky. I push through this and float out the front door before immediately thinking of the moon rock eating task. I zip back inside the open door and down a hallway. I hear my daughter whining and getting closer quickly. I reach a table at a corner of the hall and it has a bowl of rocks on it, among other junk. I look through the bowl and find a grey rock filled with holes which I KNOW is a moon rock. It feels really hard and I'm hesitant to bite it, but I do so carefully. It hurts my teeth a lot but finally breaks in half. I try to chew the half in my mouth but it won't break up anymore. It tastes like salt and minerals. I finally just swallow it like a pill. When I turn around, my daughter has crawled around the corner and is watching me. I grab her and phase out of the house through the window. I figure she's gonna follow me anyway and I might as well take her with me. This turns into a long non-lucid about live action D&D in my grandma's old back yard, very fun.

-DEILD back in (an actual chain! It's been so long! ) to my living room and Lk is there walking around. It feels odd and very real and I'm not QUITE sure I'm dreaming so I do an RC and sure enough I am. Lk has some kind of problem going on or some kind a question he needs answered and we both know that H can answer it. I tell Lk this and he agrees. I figure H is coming over, but Lk just sits down and gets on the phone with him. I refuse to give up on H coming here, so I decide to help it along with my expectation powers. I think to myself that they're just talking on the phone while he drives this way. I walk towards the door that leads to the car port and I see headlights pull up into it. I walk out and H is in the driver's seat of a big, nice SUV which I think is white. He gets out and I move stuff out of his way so he can get to the door. As he goes in I stay really close to him and put off an intimate vibe and he leans down and kisses me on the forehead... I'll take it lol. This devolves into a NLD where we all try to figure out the problem or whatever it was.

I'm gonna count that kiss persuasion as mind control because I didn't use any language or signals etc.

-Long NLD about preparing to run from a tornado which eventually gets me lucid as I'm standing outside. Like my previous tornado dreams, I've been left behind as I try to gather things. I do a nose RC as usual and look around to see that the storm is gone but the sky is a flat grey. I think hard about tasks and points and finally think that I want to eat a moon rock, but then I immediately remember I want to summon someone first. So I turn around with a joyous feeling, expecting C to be there, and he is, standing down on the ground looking up at me (I automatically float when lucid most of the time). I happily call him up and he floats to me and we fly off together. He seems weird though and I look over and he's a weird-looking toilet brush in my hand. I just drop it and let it fall to the ground, sadly not thinking of the new Challenge task. My awareness fades pretty quick after that, I need to remember to stabilize..

Lucidity and points at terrible cause.. awful nightmare spurred by stupid show I watched last night involving a dead baby :<

-My daughter has some kind of problem and somehow we decide the best course of action is to euthanize her ourselves, painlessly of course. For some reason we're going through this process on the roof of some unknown public building here in town in the middle of a bright, hot day. As the process goes on, my daughter just keeps playing around like nothing is going on, since it hasn't taken full effect yet. This is just all way too much for me and I freak the hell out. The sheer amount of awfulness springs my lucidity and I channel it all towards getting the hell out of there. I immediately run and jump wayyy up into the air and fly away in a straight line as fast as I can. Scenery speeds by in a blur and my recall ends.

Still a little sick, but got enough sleep to make up for it and get me lucid!

-Something tips me off while I'm alone in my house and I decide to do an RC, which makes me fully lucid. I go out the kitchen door and my recall ends there.

-Same thing happens again: lucid in living room, RC, walk out kitchen door and everything ends.

These two dreams make me think of a messed-up car trying to start, like the engine trying to turn over for a second then going caput lol. Or maybe a shitty electrical connection trying to light a bulb which flickers.. It's like the physical parts of me that help with lucidity are still getting over the sickness and it's making them "short out" lol

-Lucid in my house again, another RC. I'm in my daughter's room with her and she's crying and it's hard not to be distracted, but I firmly remind myself she's a figment and turn to the window. I look out, focus on a tree far above and let myself be "pulled" out (phase). It's a nice, overcast day. I think of the Challenge task to go into a house in my neighborhood that I've never been in before. I've never been in any of them except my own, so I just look for one that looks nice. I fly over the neighborhood, scanning for something good. I finally see one, land and go inside. There's a bed in the front room that looks like somebody is in it. I rip the covers away and my old coworker R is there, giving me a mischievous grin like she was hiding from me in some kind of game. I say something to her that I can't remember, then continue exploring the house. She goes to the couch and sits there on her phone. I find her old boyfriend Cody in the next room and I hate him so I grab him off the couch and throw him to the side. Unfortunately as I turn, he's still there and just walks by me as if I never did anything. Everything in the house is much more clean and organized than I'd expect from R, tbh. I end up in a convo with R that turns me non-lucid and fuzzy for a while. Later on in the same house I get close to full lucidity again but don't think of any goals. For some reason I think to summon Co. I do so (I think I use the around a corner type thing?) and he follows me around and we talk as I try to find a good private place for us to get it on. Always people everywhere when that happens! Finally we find out that inside one of my living room chairs (at my house now, yes) has a PORTAL inside it under the cushion. So, with the help of some unknown person who's trying to keep others from following us (thank you SubC!), we get through the chair portal with much laughter and find ourselves in an old but clean bedroom, like at a granny's house. Co turns into C and we laugh and talk on the bed for a while, me now non-lucid.

Not sure if the portal counts for anything, it just happened naturally so I guess I won't give myself any points for that
EDIT: Nvm, totally taking it.

Terrible night for sleep, my daughter is getting a cold D:
Had so many sleep sessions, some were lucid but of course I don't recall those anymore because I was far too exhausted to record anything.. ugh.

I remember 2 NLDs:

-Hearing/Seeing a story about an eel who was adopted by a school of fish. The fish like to live at the surface of the water while the eel wants to live deep down in the dark. The fish always tell him it's not right and that he shouldn't, but one day he's just like, "Screw this, I'm going down there because that's the way it's supposed to be." As he goes, all the fish follow him deep deep down. And apparently later on this enables them to evolve in high-tech ways and they become a humanoid race (looking NOTHING like fish, all like human). I see a black ship rising to the surface of the water and the Asian/American looking guy piloting it is talking to another pilot on some kind of radio thing.

-FA (I think?) that ends up with me inviting some DV people to my house. Two guys show up, one is CanisLucidus and the other might be Sensei?? The maybeSensei one is darker and skinnier while Canis is very normal looking. C comes home and is surprised and maybe a little put-off by the unexpected guests. I sit there talking (mainly with Canis) about how I just had a lucid dream about being a wolf and doing something odd. Canis and I share dreams of beings wolves. (I've never actually been a wolf in-dream.. that I know of)

So that was cool! First time hanging out with a DV person in-dream.

-Hanging out with about five people in a room in my house. One of them is M and he's the only one standing up, right across from me, playing guitar with a somber expression. I can't remember where the conversation was, but after some guy to my left says something, M chimes in by saying that he regrets "making (girls?women?) wait for hours," then he leans forward, stops playing, gives me a pained, meaningful look and says, "Do you think that was a mistake, too?" I almost cry looking into those eyes, so I turn mine down and think before being honest and saying, "Sometimes.." M looks conflicted between hope and despair, then I say in a lower tone, "But this is another life.. y'know?" M just sadly nods, gets his things together and leaves. I feel terrible, like I've torn out his heart, and the extreme emotion makes me semi-lucid. I start floating, phase out of the house, then fly after M, who's just turning the corner. It's sunset and warm light is streaming down from the left. I swoop around to get a good look at M and I see that he's as close to crying as a guy can be without actually shedding tears. I feel awful, but something about all this makes my lucidity rise up and I realize I don't care. I start flying back towards the house and see a female DC with short black hair walking towards the neighbor's house like she lives there. There are a few more DCs waiting for her on the porch. I fly rapidly up to her face and point at her, screeching. I just feel like scaring the crap out of something. At first, her eyes widen in surprise, then she settles into aloofness, giving me a look like, Ha! you can't do anything to me. I then "remember" that she used to be a powerful, evil witch, but her soul was taken out and put into this new body so that she would no longer have powers. At first I'm a little uneasy, then I get cocky because of her having no powers. I buzz around her head like a giant, annoying fly for a bit, having fun teasing her, before fading into some vague non-lucidity then waking up.

-DEILD into a low-awareness lucid in my bedroom. I realize I'm in a dream state, but that's about where my lucidity ends. I just sit there on the edge of my bed and think about the previous dream, which brings me to M. I start imagining myself being very forward with him and asking for sex, but I think that he'd be afraid for some reason. Then something clicks in my head and I think, no of course he wouldn't be. I get up and try to summon him for a second, but decide to stop so I don't end up ending the dream. Instead I go to the window. Outside is the front yard of my Dad's house. I "remember" that C has already left for work, but I see the car parked part-way in the shed. It looks different though. I look around some more and see a more accurate representation of it parked under the trees with C inside. He seems to be on the phone. I phase outside and into the passenger seat of the car. C ignores me and continues talking on the phone. I FINALLY think about the totms and remember the music one first. I turn on the car stereo and the repetitive music from one of my daughter's toys starts playing. I'll have to make a recording of that later.. Only other thing I remember is phasing out of the car and flying off.

-Shopping for Sims 4 CC online, picking out men's underwear in-game in CAS.

-Waiting outside church to go in, feel out of place, just here for a wedding in the family. Riding around parking lot in nice tall SUV with rich church people I don't really know, they're friendly though. Finally someone comes out and tells us they're running late but we can go ahead and come in. I see a little boy go in front of me, part of the family. The sky is overcast and it's humid and the church is out in the middle of some pretty, peaceful country. Inside, it turns into a movie party sleepover thing and the lights are mostly turned out. J & Sh are there and the three of us, plus some girl I don't know but I feel like I'm supposed to know, are in our pajamas. It's a bit cold though, so we have light jackets on over them. Mine feels bulkier than the others and I'm a little self conscious. A lady to my right, rich and churchy and a bit fat, starts talking to me and ends up showing me how to use a weird elastic neck brace. I know she has to use it because of poor health related to being overweight, but I avoid mention of that and just be polite. J walks to the other end of the room, probably to find the bathroom, and Sh joins in the conversation, which turns to the topic of health insurance. Sh says her dad still has her on the D1 plan or something. I laugh to myself in my head because she's older than me and far less independent. Irl my husband and I pay for everything we get.

-Something about being on an alien planet which is being invaded. The bad guys get the upper hand and take over completely, but they leave immediately and take all the stolen vehicles/technology with them (I guess to another planet). While they're gone, me and the remaining natives devise a plan which I don't really remember. I think we take everything they left over and build something awesomely powerful. I just know we're totally ready for them. Not long after, the baddies all come back, shocked to see all the scraps gone. We hit 'em while they're still shocked and it's a landslide victory for us!

-In a gym-like place, but it's really a big, tall carport with rubbery flooring beneath it. This carport is attached to a large, metal warehouse which seems to be kind of out in the country, or on the edges of things anyway. All the machines are crammed together, some actually tipped against one another. There are a handful of beefy dudes working out which I ignore. I'm here for my own workout. I try to get on a stair-stepper that's shoved between some other stuff, but it just starts to tip over so I spend my whole effort trying to keep it upright with just my legs. As I focus on this, the scene around me changes to a small, wood-shop-like room. There is a group of people around me, most younger than me, though I feel younger than irl. There's one guy who's in his 40s it seems and he's speaking to us as a group with a warm smile. It almost feels like youth group. There are tools and things hung all around the white walls and everyone sits in mismatched folding chairs. The speaker rests his arm on a wood-working table to his right. I'm still sitting on the freaking stair-stepper, which now has a seat, and I'm way higher than everyone else. Someone comments about how, "She's 5'9"!" (directed at me) and it seems to be a good thing because I guess we're going to be playing sports later on. I laugh and blush. I'm not really that tall irl btw.. lol.

-Watching some little cartoon with my little sisters. It's about a tall, bitter, unhappy lady with jet-black hair and pale skin. All of the girls around her are becoming "twitterpated" over the boys/men they like/love and she doesn't understand because she has no one like that, so she tries to undermine their relationships. At the end though, she meets a woman and falls in love and realizes that she's just like all the other girls and that it's okay to be "twitterpated" lol. I laugh at this and it gives me a happy feeling, but my sisters seem put-off, probably because their dad teaches them that being gay is wrong.. ugh. For those who don't know, "twitterpated" is a Disney ref. (Bambi) and basically means "head over heels"
