Dream fragment
I was on a beach with some kids and we saw this really bright shining sparkley crab.

Second dream
Where the world trade center, twin towers in New York where the 9/11 happened, there was this masssiiivveee church, just as big standing all new in its place. The church slopped a bit. Me and some random dream friend ran up these stairs all the way to the top. We didn't take the lift. In the stair well, it was dim lit with plants growing on each floor and it was really earthy and nice. When we got to the top, it was cold and there was a fog below the platform we stood on, so we couldn't see down to the street below. There were priests and other religious people, giving us bunches of lollies sayin', 'throw them down to the streets below! For all the people!', because there were heaps of people on the street below all crowded around the church, it being new and all. So we threw them down into this fog we couldn't see past. I threw one out too far and it landed in these random icecream fridges on the same level as us... I kept throwing them down. I think there were pineapple/banana lumps..... These really tasty looking chocolates I saw at the Deli yesterday but didn't buy. I hear bells, ran down the stairs, talked to someone really breifly than ran back up and continued with my lolly dropping......mmm

Awake and forming logic
I figured, that because at the top, because there were walls and random 'floating' ice cream fridges and a fog, we were infact just being bribed into throwing lollies onto the floor of this level in the church, the very top level. It was like the priests little candy/lolly/icecream room. Its so strange. They have a little hangout where they can chill and eat ice cream and banana ( ) lumps. argh! I want a room like that!

Meh, this is little fragments of my dream last night. I was sitting on a curb and an MGMT song started playing. Then me and my brother I think started speeding of across some Tron like, green field in my old neighbourhood. But it was like some big boat made of glowsticks. I saw glowsticks on the ground and they flashed and doubled, and I picked them up. Then we looked over at the other people sitting on the curb and we needed them to look away when the song finished, and they did. Odd, whatever, that was strange.
I saw the little green beans girl from Oddsac! I sat down near her and some random and started taking poliroid photos. I took the poliroids from the camera and shook them and looked at them, but they all were obscured with random other things, like we were in one of those asian photobooths where you add the effects onto it. So I took another but the same thing happened. I should have recognised this as a dream sign.
The little girl wanted to go to a toystore. We were in the toystore looking around. I think I told her not to pick anything too expensive or something.
And thats it.

Waking life Non lucid dream Lucid
Sometimes in my waking reality (you know, not a dream life) I imagine that everything is around me and all the people are drawn and animated just like the movie Waking Life. Its totally cool and helps me with being conscious. Lately I have been reading Power Of Now, and I was in the city yesterday and just would switch on consciousness and drop my thoughts and emotions, just listen and be aware of the sights and movements, people and sounds.. I thought to myself at one point, its probably to late in the day to recieve a lucid from starting consciousness this late in the afternoon. But I thought, hey you never know! Anyway, I wasn't absolutely conscious all the time. When my mum, sister and myself left the bar we were at a gained consciousness of our surroundings again. (I wasn't drinking or anything! Just lemonaide and coke) I did 2 RC's as well. I counted my fingers and pinched my nose.

First dream

Theres quite some bit to my dream but I don't have much time to write it. Basically, throughtout my dream these girls kept attacking my little sister and I. I had a false awakening but didn't click on and recognise it like normal cause the FA was in the morning, instead of at night like it normally is. I layed in bed recalling my dream then I went and sat a table and wrote the dream down. I looked away for a moment and when I looked back two cans had replaced my book. I was conscious here and thought, 'hang on, but my DJ was there..'
I woke up and was pretty happy with recognising it and being conscious of my dream surroundings and strange occurances! My waking life consciousness was paying off well tonight. I fell back asleep..

Dream 2

The girls were still attacking us but this time they put a bomb in our room. My sister and I ran out of our apartment and into the elevator. My elevator is a dream sign cause its always different in my dreams. This time it had only floors 4, 5, 6, 7, G, B1, and B2. I became lucid. I tried the breath through my pinched nose but I had a blocked nose or something. I asked my sister some more RCs and she said to pinch myself. I did and felt no pain. The walls of the elevator were like a water feature and water ran down them. And there was no mirror anymore. I pinched her and we ran out the elevator and into a strange and changed enviroment outside. WHere the pool was meant to be was our bedroom again but this time the bomb didn't detonate. I tried some magic but it didn't work so I began to job behind the room (the room had no doors or roof which is another dreamsign of mine) and I said to myself that I will find my magic gloves. And there on the ground lay my rainbow 'magic' mittens. I put them on, but as I did, I happened to remember how on Dreamviews people say not to think about being asleep while in a lucid. I never use to but I rememebered that and did a bit. The vividness dulled.. The dream was slowly slipping but only gradually. I should have felt my enviroment. George Bush just so happened to be hanging out, siting on the ground against the wall. I went up to him and tested out my mittens, giving him seahorses for hands. He said 'You know what noises seahorses make?' and he made this really retarded noise. I tried to summon Jonas Bjerre (a singer from the danish band Mew! < 3 ) and he arrived. But he was asleep.. I woke up before I got the chance to talk to him! SJAHFAKJNFJKHAKSJNkj!

So yay! Thats pretty awesome. Lessons learnt: Consciousness does pay off! Recognise dream signs, make a note of them and RC when you see them or remember them for dreams later. Write what you remember, if only two or three things in your DJ when you wake up. It makes a difference.
