Asleep by 2am?

Beatles fragment
I recall there being some Beatles-related dream, but had a lot of difficulties with recall at the WBTB today. I recalled the dream fully when I woke up, and when I got out of bed to record it, it was already gone

WBTB at 5am.
Took two green tea extract caps, but have since found out my Co-op stuff has a very weak amount of EGCG in it Set my alarm for 6:40am and settled in for a WILD. Fell asleep at some point.

Pets fighting
Mum had a large white parrot and a tiny black budgie in a rabbit cage together. The budgie was doing it's best to piss off the parrot, by pulling on his wings and such. The parrot started trying to harm the budgie by pressing him into the wall of the cage with his beak. Mum got worried, so she held the parrot off while I got the budgie out of the cage.

I noticed mum had tied some string around the budgie's wings to prevent him from flying off, but I still held him protectively. I remember her saying his breed was called an anteater, because he's all black.

False awakening happened between these two dreams. It may have even been real, but I just remember waking up, and attempting to redo the WILD.

Music class
I was attending a music class with a kid. The teacher wrote a staff on the board with some sharp signs. She wrote some notes to a classical piece (she even called it "boring classical piece" or something like that) and told us we could figure out which notes came next By looking back and seeing which notes have been changed already, like a pattern. Not being very good at patterns, I racked my brain trying to see which note would be changed. I thought I had it, but the dream dissolved before I could hear the answer.

After this dream (ended via alarm), I thought that perhaps I hadn't woken up at all. It didn't feel like I had.

Back in bed...

Work dream
I was at this basement of a warehouse. I was with a co-worker, and she was taking off for food, but said she'd be back. Only, she never did come back. I had a lot of extra duties, since I was trying to run Dispatch from this new place I'd never been before.

I'm talking with this new field supervisor on the phone. We listen to some messages, and he hears that one of his mobile drivers scheduled to work tonight, left a message saying he can't work mobile anymore (just a few hours before his shift was supposed to start). This upset me. It' completely unfair of staff to do that (it's happened before IRL!). This guy hasn't outright quit, he just wants off mobile, but tell him to suck it up for another night. He's still responsible for this shift! We started reviewing a list of people on his team currently, who (in my opinion) were trustworthy staff, and who have been fickle.

I'm out at a family gathering with Jack and some family of his (all DC's). There's a girl who's never been there before, and says something about ghosts, and we all take in a breath, because the kitchen, in particular, has seen some haunted activity in seances past. I say we should try the ouija, but it needs to be fast, since I leave in 10 minutes. I'm throwing something in the trash, and my arm seizes up and feels like it is stuck to the cabinet door. I manage to break away from the paralysis, and I remain silent about what happened. However, when no one is looking, I check to see if the door was sticky (it wasn't) and tried to mimic the same arm motion to induce the paralysis again (I couldn't).

Back at work, I'm talking with someone in HR. She's praising me because the work I do at Dispatch has made her job so much easier. I'm outwardly very humble, but inwardly, I know that I've been rocking my site. She mentions needing to send me back up to the hangar in Airdrie again (the place I started out my dream). I tell her I'm not the best choice, because I don't have a vehicle. I look at the schedules and see that the Field Supervisor shift has been extended, but it falls an hour short of the start of my shift. The HR-lady tells me to give it a shot and ask him to drive me, anyways. It's the new F/S (his name appears as "Isk" on the schedule, but I call him Isaac), so I'm not sure that I can appeal to him, since we don't really know each other yet.

Making some changes so updating has been sparse. I'll get some work done this weekend

Jungle, Alligator, Run (non-lucid)

I am in jungle with BroX, cousin, and co-worker. We are trying to find our way home and come to big jungle gym. We are climbing around and get chased by a gator. I toss BroX a hammer and he stuns. We escape on a four wheeler but leave co-worker behind. We can he him scream as the gator catches up to him.

We then run into some indigenous people and they aren't happy and also chase us but we get away on the four wheeler.

I have been dropped off at a barn in America. All the people are wearing dungarees. There is a car hanging from the ceiling. Then, my brother alerts me that these are, in fact, zombies and we must get out of there and into the car as fast as possible without running as they switch to zombie mode when they detect high amounts of movement. We make it safely and drive to the moor down the road. We drive back and forth four times, and on the last time, I loose my shoe, a pink pump with white frills and ask him to pick it up later. We then go to the barn, only with the whole family and they all look around too, but one of us sets off zombie mode and they all start to walk towards us. We all run to the car, now a white, open-topped rocket one and climb in. There is very little leg room, but I manage to just climb in and slam the door. My brother is the last to come in and we drive off as fast as possible. I feel my hands on the edge of the car, holding myself in. I see the zombies in the car behind, looking angry, and I scream to mum "They're catching up with us!" she shouts back, "Even if they do, what are they going to do about it? We're in a car!" And I notice they go.
We drive past what I think to be Blackpool and I see a circle of light zoom around in the air with a trail following behind it. I tell my dad and he looks but doesn't see it. It doesn't matter though, because two more appear to take the place of the first. There is a pier below it and dad says "I wish we were in Blackpool tonight." and we go on. We end up at a restaurant with my best friend. While we are waiting to be seated I spot a lady and she offers me some of her meringue. We sit down, but either the meringue must have been drugged or the lights were (oddly) but I fall asleep without knowing it.
The woman must have been working for my abductors, because I wake up away from my family, on a beach. There is a man sitting at my head and he comforts me as I wake up. I ask where I am and he says that I have been taken from my family to learn magic. I cry a lot because I miss my family and my school. He sits on the beach and I am in the water, which is oddly deep (Water always is in my dreams) as it is so close to the shore and he tells me about walking on water, and I could try it now if I wanted. I climb out and onto the stone pier. I see a girl that I recognise run across the water and I am impressed. Also, I notice how dark the water is there compared to where I was floating in, which was a light blue, and blacker shapes; seaweed, moving and swaying. I don't think I am ready to try this yet, I am too afraid of the deep water.
My master grants me a trip back to my old family and I see my mum crying over my empty bedroom and I sob too. I wake up.

In the past few days I've had really strange experiences with precognitive dreams. It is not unusal for me to recognize places I go for the first time from dreams I had before going there, but this time for a bunch of days I felt like I was living a huge déjà vu and that every step I was taking I was reliving several of my dreams.
I went to Brussels and Ghent for work reasons. I've been in Brussels many times, I even lived there, but his time I took a different route from the one I always take out of the airport. It started there, when I recognised a car park where I had a dream adventure some time ago (even before joining DV, so no DJ record of it). I had never seen the place before, only in that dream.

Then when I was on this bus to Brussels centre, I realised I'm dressed similarly to the dream of 9 Sep when I meet a friend at a library (on the same night by coincidence I also dreamt about Brussels). I'm wearing a skirt, leggings and some lycra socks that are kinda dirty. I am also wearing sabrinas, which is totally unlike me. I am going directly to the European Parliament, where my friend JF (whom I had met on this library dream) works. I think I need to take the socks and leggings out before arriving there or I'll be going through the embarassement of having to undress there, like I did in my dream, in front of my friend behind a desk. So, that problem was averted, due to reminding this dream.

Then I spent all afternoon and night working at the Parliament, in some office with some friends and colleagues. Here I recognised the dream of 22 Aug about a "casual 5* hotel". It wasn't really a hotel, but the parliament at night. I recognized the lobby with the black square sofas, the amazing staircase leading to the glass window "chamber" on the upper floor (not really a concert hall, but the look was still incredibly similar). Instead of the lake and plants in the middle of the staircases, there's a huge metallic sculpture on the centre that looks like a waterfall.
Then when we were working, one of the guys started to sing "who let the dogs out" and everybody joined in and laughed. Someone made a comment that we should have brought our dogs for company throughout the night. And I totally related this to the dream (dogs running around free on the hotel in the middle of the night).

Also, the recent dream I had about hacking a building was totally related to the Parliament experience. I stayed there all night, which was not supposed to happen - I only had a permit for staying during the daily working time. But me and one colleague decided to stay behind to finish a job in the office of the person who got us in, hoping the security guards would not kick us out. We didn't stay inside the office all night as we were too curious and wanted to explore the building. We managed to walk around, avoiding the cameras and hiding of a security guard (a lady) we saw at a certain point, but amazed that no one was actually stopping us. Only at 4 a.m. did they caught us, because by then we thought nobody would come to kick us out. We decided to sleep on some couches on a corridor and a guard doing a round finally found us. We were totally exposed and relaxed about it. A mistake. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

A few days later I went to Ghent and as I was passing by a really cute shop where I saw this basket full of teddy bears and other dolls, it totally reminded me of the teddy bear basket I had found in the security control room of the building I hacked (in the dream).

Also in Ghent I arrived at this street where I saw the scene from the dream of 21 Aug (that then I marked as a potential precognitive). I had dreamt of a certain beautiful building on a corner of two streets facing a canal and there it was. It wasn't the embassy of Switzerland - that was a dream confusion, because the next day (not after the dream, but after this day in Ghent) I was supposed to go the german embassy (work related) and somehow my mind foresaw it but mixed it up. Anyway, no doubt that was the same place from the dream, although the building was not pink but actually orange/reddish, but hey... In front there was a canal and I leaned against the fence to take pictures both of the building and of the canal, for future reference.

Later on, I saw this huge amount of people in bicycles and when I saw a particular family it got my attention - it totally looked like the part of the dream before hacking the building, where I followed this family on bikes. On the dream it was car-free day and... surprise, surprise: I found out then that it was car-free sunday in Ghent!
By now I decided I should follow the bikers as I did in my dream, and see where it would lead me in waking life.
Apparently to no place special. They crossed a bridge and kept cycling around the neighbourhood. I was tired of following them and stopped by the back of this huge building which I found to be a museum. On the back of this museum there was a nice garden and I just felt like meditating there for a while. That's when I found a koi pond in the middle of it. Weird. I had to do a RC just to be sure I was not on the moon
I did sat there for half an hour and had the most bizarre meditative experience. I actually tried to contact the dream world while awake and felt strange effects. I'm not saying it was not my imagination, but I felt weird, like a strong difference of pressure over my head, strong swirling winds started to blow in the garden and around me. It was strange.

Last but not least, while I was in Ghent I had also this weird dream that I was attacked, on a kind of guesthouse/restaurant, by some cult followers that kept saying "Simon says!" (haven't published this one yet on my DJ) and the next day I found out there was a place close by my hostel (a B&B and coffee bar) which is called "Simon says" - how odd is that? Unfortunately I had no time to actually go there, but the good side is I probably I escaped my attackers

I remember being in a fire fight in a huge expansive library. I was running around and shooting almost anything that wasn't me. I started out with dual Uzi submachine guns and I took out a couple of guys as I headed down the hallway. I made a made a left at the end of the hall and made another. As I headed up the other hall, there was one more guy left at the opposite end of the library. We were running at each other, but we were in separate aisles. It was too hard to get a clear shot from where I was at, and there was a open doorway that we would both inevitably cross. He crossed the hallway first, and then as soon as I got near it we were both firing at each other. I dove towards opening and rotated my body towards the direction of the enemy and let off the last remaining shots. At this point everything was moving in slow motion like a Max Payne shoot dodge. When I hit the ground I was behind a wall and out of ammo. I threw down both guns, and pulled out a M-16 out of nowhere. I crouched as low as I could and got as close to the door opening I could. The guy came sprinting into the room I was in, and the last thing he saw was the big grin I had on my face as I emptied the clip into him.

12-case of Stella Artois was on sale. How can one resist? Anyway, that's why recall was poor this night.

0237: D. I'm in a PE class. Reminds me of my elementary school but I'm an adult. I'm vacuuming leaves off the grassy field. The vacuum is strapped to my back like a leaf blower. The class can't leave until I've vacuumed all the leaves. (Am I crafting cheesy puns in my dreams?) The teacher and students are getting impatient with me.

0603: D. I'm in a movie-like scene. I'm with Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. But their character names are Richard and something that starts with O. The scene is a like a cluttered warehouse or junk yard. It's a shootout. Our side is split into three groups taking cover behind barrels and junk. My view jumps between the three groups like a movie. We coordinate our attack with walkie talkies. We spring up and surprise the bad guys. They surrender.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID NIGHTLY ADVENTURE

Hey all. I'm noticing great progress in my dream recall! I don't know if it's because of the B6 vitamin I'm taking but I did recall two dreams after just 6 hours of sleep, and two more after sleeping a few more hours. This night I also had some funny hallucinations or whatever you call them.

I just read the MILD chat from last night with PercyLucid. And it was cool! I will write down in my workbook what I think about before bed, and what's on my mind during the day. I've already achieved a few MILDs these last weeks, and I got one tonight!

9.00: Upcoming party
I'm outside of my appartment, and I'm talking to a guy I know. The subject is how people react when you take command, and how you speak with authority. "Some people are born alpha males" I say and he agrees. "Some people you can boss around, some people will boss you around" The subject goes on for a couple of minutes and it feels so right! Like everything makes sense. After the talk we walk towards some stairs and see a few girls standing in them. We all greet and apparently it's his friends. We stay there for a pretty long time, while smoking. One girl smokes four cigarettes and I tell her that her tongue will be black soon. She sticks it out and it's indeed black! I take out my cellphone to take a picture, but it's not enough light out for it to be a good picture. We start walking back towards my appartment and the guy I know asks if it's okay to party in my appartment. Like smoke weed. I tell him that I don't want them to do that, but they can party. I get a fake memory of a bike being thrown down from my balcony at an earlier party. I tell them not to do that.

9.20: Kill or be killed
I'm running through a cornfield, and I'm being hunted by something. It's like I'm inside a huge warehouse and I'm sticking to the wall, where a path has been made by some people ahead of me, ofcourse I'm at the back! I turn around and face the thing hunting and me, and knock an arrow on my bow. Just as I knock the arrow, a tiger jumps at me and I shoot. Missing the tiger which crashes into me. Luckily I had time to turn my bow sideways and aim it towards its mouth. I let the bow go and run for my life, taking a turn. The tiger struggles with the bow for a second or two then comes rushing back at me. I don't get very far, perhaps a few meters before he's on me again. This time I grab its mouth and put two fingers in its nose, and with a tight grib, I get it to be still. "Shoot it!" I yell and two arrows strike the wall just above the head of the tiger. I push it upwards with all my might and some arrows hit it this time. A small girl in primitive clothing jumps up on the tiger, and draws a stone dagger and plunges it into its skull. The tiger stops struggling and collapse in my arms. I let it go and look around. Suddenly some kind of monkey comes out of nowhere and he looks alot like a human. For some reason he just falls and turn into a big pile of rotten flesh and pus. I look around and the entire field turns into these strange monkey-men and they all die. I can see some people up on a platform and I draw the conclusion that they're the ones responsible. One of them comes down and starts running towards us. I pick up some flesh from the ground and I throw it at him. It hits the ground at his feet and he dies instantly.

10.30: Action movie turning into a fieldtrip MILD
I'm on the side of a big truck and I'm hanging on for dear life. The guy driving is insane and we're going atleast 100km/h. I have a glock in one hand and I empty the magazine into the windshield, with no effect. It's made out of bullet proof glass. The guy inside shows me his teeth in an evil grin, and he looks alot like John Travolta. I look to the side to see where we're going and we're heading straight for a big warehouse. I look back at the guy driving and he's holding a gun of his own to his head now. A second before impact he pulls the trigger. The truck crashes into the building and I fly head first into the metal wall, and bounce off it. I somehow know it's a dream, and even though I fly perhaps twenty meters, I manage to land on my feet. Everyone in my class comes up to me and we all take a smoking break. One girl takes a seat on my stomach and we talk some about thieves. "I fucking hate people stealing other people's stuff!" I say. Suddenly I hear/see this voice, telling us that North and South is blue, and East and West is red. This somehow triggers a memory of my DJ (the colors being red for lucid and blue for dream) and I get the feeling it's Alex saying it all. I get lucid, but decide to just sit there for a while and see what happens. Suddenly the dream starts to fade. I wake up by my alarm clock going off. EAT S**T YOU SON OF A B****!

13.00 Drugs and driving
I'm in a car with my brother's friend. It's dark outside and it's raining heavily. We're outside of the local hospital and I'm holding some drugs he just handed me. "You sure this will make my better?" I ask and he nods. The drug is in a glass vial and it's red. I bite off the small plastic cap keeping the liquid in and I swallow it all. We drive off and head for my appartment. "Do you take any performance enhancers?" I ask and he says yes. "But you're not aggressive at all" I say. "Well I don't do the heavy stuff" he tells me and lets me off outside of my appartment. The dream changes somehow and I'm on a go-cart. I feel the urge to go somewhere and I see an open door infront of me in the building. I ride through the door and I see another one ahead of me across the hall I just entered. I drive through several doors and when I look back, I can see dirty track marks on the floor. I decide it's time to get out of there and go out the backdoor. The backyard is filled with ancient, large, grey stone slabs and I climb them for a while. I end up on the edge of a huge ravine. Ahead of me is an enormous stone wall, with a temple in it. The gap isn't big luckily and is definitely jumpable. I jump it and enter the temple. The dream changes and I'm with my family inside of a really old house.

Nightly Adventures
*I keep poking my girlfriend in the side until she wakes up. "What the hell? Wtf?" I ask her. She gets all confused, and I go back to sleep.

*My snowboard hanging on the wall is falling down! I jump up and grab it. "Damn it's stuck hard" I think for myself. "Well, gotta take it down to be safe" I jerk it loose and put it on the floor. My girlfriend ask me what I'm doing. I'm fully awake and know EXACTLY what I'm doing! I pee then go back to bed.

Amount of sleep: 10 hours

Food before sleep: Nothing special, 50 mg B6 at 9.20 though.

That's it! Fun dreams. I've been trying to clear my mind every time I'm going to sleep, and telling myself to get a lucid dream. Everytime I wake up during the morning, I tell myself I will dream. Especially at 9.00 when my gf goes up for work.

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

the coolest dream ive ever had but i only remember bits and pieces of it and it really suks!!! anyway so i remember i was with a few friends and we were goin through all thses different levels i had to complete. I was at a theme park and had to jump onto this mobile at a certain ttime or i wouold fail the mission. Sometimes i would be tiny and other times id be really big. I finally got to the last level and it was me and one other friend fighting against this huge dragon who was shooting fire balls at us, i had the abilittyy to draw a base around me and my friend but then all these people started showing up and i couldnt fit everyone in the circle we ended up failing the missino and then i had to meet my gfs parents nd they didnt like me and after i played air soft war with a friend

Somehow I remember this a while after I woke up it all came rushing back.
I remember the start to be at my aunts house trying to find patches to quit smoking and I don't smoke... Anyways I asked if I could go to the store to buy them. She said no to me and this is my aunt, not my Mom so that was also weird.
Then I went outside to see snow everywhere and all around my car. I started to walk to the store when my Dad appeared and interrupted my mission to get these patches(I believe i forgot about the patches at this point because later I never drove near a store). So i walked back with him and shoveled the snow around my car. I drove down the driveway which was around a kilometer long right to a street cutting across it diagonally. I stopped for the sign, and suddenly a snowmobile drives across the intersection and does a backflip without going off a jump in like 10 feet.
Basically this:


In ten feet. Epic.
What happened next was even weirder as somehow I was now the guy driving the snowmobile down the narrow main street. There was no lapse in time or apparent relocation of my body, so I assume my brain invented false memories to allow this to make sense.
After that weird instant, I noticed dozens of cops chillin on the sides of the road, suddenly noticing my presence and a pursuit began between me and a jeep(military) with some woman cop in the back. She had a bull horn and was yelling and screaming through it telling me to pull over. I was annoyed seeing as I did nothing wrong. I stopped, then they pulled off and raced down the main street out of sight.
Then, the dream skipped and I had stopped to enter the basement of some building. There were a bunch of kids in the basement and one asshole with a baseball bat threatening to beat them up. I walked over and he advanced on me. I stayed still, and held my ground. I didn't move and told him that he won't do shit with that bat, after much staring and intimidation. He stopped being tough, so I rallied the kids (16 years old-ish) to beat this ass up and I remember the advance of people towards the guy with the bat, but the dream skipped again.

I think I woke up for a few seconds and then went back to sleep to find myself in a room like my dorm here at school. The room was a huge, tall ceilinged brick walled white room. I noticed a stove that was on(weird) but then everything changed and my Dad and Sister were now in front of me in a line to some counter. There were lots of old geezers standing around waiting too. My Dad said something and then busted out a cigar. He took a toot off of it then I got it somehow. I smoked it like crazy and it was a delicious, amazing cigar. After I smoked it for a while it went out and the dreams ended altogether.

Thanks for reading

Very productive night! No LDs, but I had many dreams focused on LDing. After studying LDs all day, I hit a personal record of 7 dreams recalled!

First Dream: I am trying to recall my dreams, but I can't seem to recall any. In an attempt to remind myself of the dreams, I make a huge checklist of things that normally happen in my dreams. I can't recall any of the items on the list besides date, time, lucidity level, and vividness. The list basically became a scantron, like one of those bubble sheets you fill out on tests like the SAT. The only thing I remember is that the date I bubbled in was Sept. 21. It took me a long time to remember the date, but I finally tried remembering what the date said on the board in homeroom.

Second Dream: Very fuzzy and a brief fragment of me running a 5k at Cross Country practice. I remember thinking I could not make it all the way, and I hadn't even reached the half-way point.

Third Dream: I wake up at 8:24 and it's a Saturday morning. Again I have the problem where I can't recall any dreams. I was very angry with myself, but I do remember saying to myself, "Well, Percylucid did say that our recall may suffer with WILDing."

Fourth Dream: My class is having a discussion on what would happen if our parents died. Most of the Junior class is there, and a lot of the Sophomores are there (I go to a really small school where the entire Junior class is 15 kids). We are all on this giant bed, which is about as big as a convenience store. The sheets are white and cold. J was talking (as usual) and said that if his parents died then he wouldn't be able to live in the house that he lives in anymore, since it would be too sad. H laughed at him and said, "You can't live in your own house, but you'll live in a house alone in France?" Then J shouted at her "IF MY PARENTS DIED!!" Then A called me gay (she annoys me like this in real life) and I told her "I'm obviously not cause if I was gay then I would be able to like you." Then for some reason this made her leave the giant bed and then she came back like 30 seconds later. She didn't seem angry she just laughed and seemed to read something further into it.

Fifth Dream: I'm riding in a car with a sunroof. I can tell it's my sister's VW Beetle, and either my mom or my sister is driving. I'm sitting in the passenger seat looking out the sunroof, and we come to a stop sign. The whole dream was basically while stopped at this stop sign for like 5 minutes. I was staring at this pine tree through he sunroof, and it was shaped really weirdly. It grew normally for about 20 feet, then it curved to the right and grew sideways for about a foot, then it grew straight up again. I was thinking that if a lightning bolt were to strike the elbow of the tree, then the top of the tree would just come crashing down and impale me. For some reason I really wished it would do that and kill me, although the idea of me dying did not seem like an escape or depressing.

Sixth Dream: I'm at home on the computer trying to remember my dreams to write on this dream journal (I had planned last night to start using this DV system). I am struggling really hard to remember my dreams (see a common theme of the night here?), and I suddenly get the though that if I take off my clothes then I'll somehow be able to remember. My clothes felt really heavy, and they felt like they were holding me back. As I begin to take off my clothes, this lady from my school (Mrs. Ta) shows up at my front door. I'm upstairs, so I look from the upstairs to see who it is, then my mom goes and opens the door. I head back to my dream journal problems. My mom is talking and says, "Oh let me get Grant so he can say hi," and Mrs T says, "No, that's fine. I won't be here too long." My mom replies, "Nonsense! I can summon him down here. He has no one to listen to but me. GRANT!!!" So I walk down the stairs and say hi, and I remember thinking that when I said hi I had this weird awkward smirk and laugh.

Seventh Dream: It began at school where everyone was giving presentations on books we read. I used PowerPoint. After we gave our presentations, we were going to watch a movie on the projector. It was something to do with Castro's regime. Shia LaBeouf played Castro. He died his hair salt and pepper and had an eye scar. I can't remember anything else about it. Then after watching it, a teacher went into the settings screen and there were a lot of options to change the film with, like language and culture options. She changed the culture to Russian. This time, two of the actors switched places, which made Shia the protagonist, and some other person into Castro. They also were speaking Russian. Afterward, I went to the bathroom. There was a line of little kids who were going, and there was a sign above the doors that said "GC (don't know what GC means): After this point only you are responsible for what you say." It made sense in my dream, and I understood it to mean that the kids would have to nice in the bathroom, since the teachers wouldn't be able to monitor them. Which was weird, cause the teachers were in the restrooms monitoring them. My grandma picked me up from school and said we had to escape the country. She got us two tickets on a train to escape. We were going to pretend like we were going on vacation, but we would run once we got out. H.T. texted me wondering if they could escape with us, and I said no it's too late, but they should follow the same idea for escaping and we'd help them out once they were out of the country. I texted this to her, but for some reason everything I texted was translated into elvish. It was beautiful! Well my grandmother and I got on the train and left the country. The place we arrived at seemed very surreal, and it was like Rivendell. I actually think I was inside a Monet (my grandmother actually has a credit card with this money painting on it). Well it was an underground community of those who had escaped, and there was housing and such already set up for us. The houses looked like something familiar, but I'm not sure what. I can still remember the shape but I don't know what it is... It's kind of like a beautiful white tunafish. All of the landscaping was blue, green, and red.

Can't remember a damn thing last night. I know i drempt, but i just can't put my finger on what it was. I didn't try and recall methods though. I got up pretty fast.

Dream 1: The main dream revolves around water slides.

Dream 2: Second time I have this dream of having really long hair.

Still little recall

Nothing last night. swear upon all thing holy if one more person drives past my house with music so loud i can't hear the person next to me, and LEDs so bright i go blind. I'm gonna start setting nail strips outside this damn house. Some people like to sleep at night...

Recall for me as of late has been, to say the least, sporadic. I'm thinking it's because, during the school week, I'm probably not getting quite enough sleep, or maybe not steady enough, but I'm not sure what I can do about that. Last night in particular, I remembered two dream fragments.

In the first fragment, I'm in a huge city, walking around with a gang of kids. (Think the beginning of Ender's Shadow.) The buildings tower over us, and I don't think I can see the tops of them. This is kind of interesting, because as I fell asleep, I tried to visualize a building that I could take an elevator in; I wonder if that affected this dream. Anyways, there are six or seven other kids along with me, and all of us are young-ish; I think the oldest one was about 10 years old. I'm also pretty sure we walked under an overpass at some point.

The second was less of a full-fledged dream and more of just an image: when my alarm went off, I dreamed that the beeping was actually my computer, and that the screen of the computer was actually melting. Or maybe melting isn't quite the right word; it was oozing an orange goo. After a few seconds, though, I woke up.

For the first few seconds when I awoke, things looked weird (my clock looked wrong, things were blurry), and I was sort of confused and thought I might still be dreaming, but I wasn't and on second glance things looked normal.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID FALSE AWAKENING

I had a sleepless night (work reasons) on the 15th Sep (about 36 hours without sleeping), so I went to bed early in the evening of the 16th to compensate.
I have something important to tell about what I’ve experienced on these days when I was sick, traveling and not sleeping much. During these days, although dream recall was kind of shitty, waking life was incredible, because many of the dreams I had dreamt a few days before manifested during this time and led me to strange places. I will write about it later.

Dream within a dream
I was looking at a bus – probably to get inside it, when in front of my eyes this image started to form - a guru I know that passed away years ago was sitting in front of me. He had his face painted and had a hat and ornaments. The vision slowly became more clear and detailed until I became part of it – I had passed into another dream (and when it ended I went back to the same place of the previous dream).
This guru was surrounded by lamas and I sat in front of him. I didn’t know what he was doing, some kind of ritual I could not follow. But in the end he gets up – he is gigantic, I mean he was 2 mts tall when he was alive and I am now sitting at his feet. He approached me, leaned forward and with a big warm smile he told me something like this wasn’t really a dream and then he told me something important about inspiration that unfortunately I can’t remember well. It was a very clear and profound message that did inspire me for something, but I can’t recall. Then the vision started to fade and I was back in the initial dream, confused if I was actually awake having a vision or dreaming within a dream.

Holographic advertising
I was in the future, walking the street and being bombarded by 3D holographic advertisement – if you think advertising now is intrusive... wait to see that one! Not only this advertisement was 3D, if you decided to interact with it, it would actually become semi-solid and you could touch the holographic objects, sense their texture, shape and weight. It was also possible to manipulate these holograms on this particular advertising, so just for fun I transformed this object that was being announced into a pair of boobs and put them in the hands of my boyfriend who was by my side. I laughed, then I picked it up again and designed a heart-shaped box, with a beautiful reticulated lid. I gave it to him again and as he grabbed it, inside it appeared a symbolic representation of whatever he keeps in the centre of his own heart. For me this was like a revelation and I thought that this would be a great instrument to find out what’s inside people’s hearts – made a mental note to myself on this “extraction” technique. Of course, by now I was lucid.

Kame hames batlle
I was inside a garage in some villa at dusk when I realise I am dreaming. Made some stunts, like jumping from wall to wall, to celebrate the return of lucid! Then decided to get out and fly somewhere. As I hover houses and trees deciding what to do, I see on the horizon this Dragonball character – I think it’s Cell [did a search on the web] and he is preparing to kame hame me. This settled my priorities immediately: I tried to create a fireball in my hands (which I have failed to do so far). I see only a tiny spark arising and just as if it was a fire, I blow it to make it bigger. That’s the only way I manage to do it and I throw the fireball at him. He throws one at me, which I can easily get away from. But he immediately throws another and another and I am still struggling to fire another one, so I decide I am not ready for this fight and run away. Actually I wake up briefly.


Entering Nighthawk’s dream
I force myself into dream again and immediately enter a new dream. On this dream I am just awaking at my grandma’s house. I was apparently sharing the bed with my cousin C. who is still asleep. I go out for a few seconds and when I come back in the room, the bed is now smaller and already tide up (no cousin sleeping on it) and I realise it’s a dream. The lucidity is faint so I rub my hands and look at all details, trying to vivify it. I lose and gain lucidity a few times until it becomes strong. Then I decide I’ll use it to meet Nighthawk. I close the bedroom door and wish to enter his dream by crossing the door.
When I open the door I see a different house on the other side. I enter it. The look is totally different – while my dream was whitish and cold, this one is yellowish and warm. I step on a corridor and right in front there’s an open door to another division. I see his mother and lots of family members gathered around, listening to her. I believe it’s some kind of family reunion. Then I go to my right and I find another room, a quiet room where I see Nighthawk sitting on a couch with his grandmother. I have this impression that I’ve seen this dream before...
He is sitting with her and it is clear that she is a safe harbour, a big source of love and care. I feel bad to interrupt his nice dream, but I need to say I’m there, although very gently not to disturb too much. I pass quietly through the back of the couch and as I do it, his grandma says “Is it you xxxx (my name)?” I am caught by surprise, how does she know my name? But then who looks back it is actually him. I never get to see her face and I realise she is just his DC and is expressing his own words. He looked at me, with his eyes full of emotion but also a bit confused. Like, this is a recurrent dream and I’m not usually part of it, so what the hell was I doing there?
I get to his side, I bend over against the couch side arm and gently ask him if he is lucid. He seems confused, looks sleepy or dizzy. I hold his hand, he is warm and I am freezing cold. I cuddle his arm gently. And then he says a bit spaced out “Oh, we kissed, didn’t we?” He was slowly connecting the dots, but the dream was faint and losing sense rapidly. He was still looking very sleepy and he lay down on the sofa (the granny was now gone) and the dream started to disappear. I didn’t lose lucidity but I was kicked out to another dream and I found myself in the middle of a very busy street, somewhere in some Mediterranean country, almost being hit by the traffic. I decided to try to go meet him again on some other dream of his, and wished it as I tried to teleport me there, with no success. Anyway I knew it was time to wake up and got to work, so I called it a day (or a night ).

7:00 GMT – wake up
