    1. November 13 | Rivers, oceans, pathways, choices and sides

      Sleep
      Sleep: 2:00am
      Wake: 10:00am
      (Time: 8hrs | 5.3cycles)

      Dreamsigns collected:
      1. Futuritistic city
      2. Giant buildings
      3. High school with high schoolers


      1. In a more futuristic-looking city. There are tall, metal buildings, and giant bridges in the sky that connect the buildings so cars can go across. The tracks were broken and twisted, curling off of their usual path, even looping upside down. One guy in a red car was going along the tracks of one of building, but falls off of the broken tracks, and crashes on the ground near me. I go over to him, and we talk about how those tracks need to be fixed.

      2. I am looking at what seems to be the Earth from above, seeing only water below me. I am discussing things with others, listening to them talk mostly. To my right is the Pacific Ocean, and a long waterfall or waterway is ahead of me. I am imagine a country perpendicular to the waterfall, and me and the voices are discussing about moving the country more into the waterfall or not. We talk about it being in different spots before. There is another spot/island already in the waterfall.

      3. I'm showering, and there happens to be a girl to the left of me. I'm in blue Hanes, and they're getting wet in the shower, and she grabs me and says "whoops." I tell her I'm really not interested, but I start to get a little excited, and end it.

      4. -It's a beautiful riverbank, with people on both sides. I'm on one side, sitting down and playing the guitar. People are gathered around listening, and I decide to go to the other side for a walk. I get to the other side, and see my old drama teacher with the people I was with earlier on the other side.

      -I somehow get on top of the roofs of the buildings on this side of the riverbank (or something – some way, I'm walking on something and can see both sides below me). I see lots of people on both sides. On the other side is the guitar, but I see the boat is on the other side as well, so I don't attempt to cross it. Suddenly, two people run by. It is dreamdimensions and his friend. DD has long, blonde, straight hair and is shirtless, muscular. It seems like they are out for a jog. His friend seems like a little kid, and I don't pay him much attention. As I thought of DD , I realized I needed some motivation and to improve. Another kid comes and gets me and brings me inside a building.

      5. I skiped class for my second/other high school drama teacher. I was walking through the dining room, and my friends Jenn&Haley come out and are mad at me for missing class because they had to "rap it out," which is the reason I think I skipped the class. They said "rapping it out" was in the instruction plans, so they had to do it.

    2. Meching around

      by , 11-13-2011 at 05:49 PM (Tales from the sun chaser.)
      Don't remember much of this dream except riding on the shoulder of this huge mech, and making it fight other machines. It was really fun. I had to yell at it to make it fire it's missiles, but eventually it ran out of ammo....or it just wasn't working anymore.

    3. Alright stop....fightin' is bad

      by , 11-13-2011 at 05:47 PM (Tales from the sun chaser.)
      I'm with J, and some random guy wants to fight. I don't know whats up with him, but all of a sudden like four other people start walking up. J looks at me and says "i don't know about this one cuzz". He's obviously bluffing, because I've seen him take on more people that were bigger than these guys.

      Either way, I say something to tell the guy that I don't want to fight, and he follows me and keeps talking trash. (All apart of my plan to separate them just in case I wanted to just hand out a beat down in just enough time before the next person arrives). Instead, all these clowns start punching regular people for no reason.

      I walked off into another room, and there was this girl doing the same thing. WTF. She's doing the same crap...waning me to fight her, and punching random people. When she got close to the door, I elbowed her and shoved her out.

    5. Amusement Park / Contest Over the Lake

      by , 11-13-2011 at 03:38 PM (Taffy's Sweet Dreams)
      I was at some amusement park, on a really lame ride. It was like a roller coaster, but it was slow and stayed indoors on the ground. The cars kept breaking apart, too.

      After that, the place turned into a lake. Apparently there was a contest in which I was competing in. I had to get through an obstacle course above the lake against some other guy. It consisted of ropes and wooden panels. On each panel was a set of songs from different categories. I had to choose the right one. The last panel had love songs, and I was surprised to see Magnet on there. I picked something else though, and that was the right one.

      At the end of the course, I was the winner. The other contestants were doing other things. The girl at the end of the lake did some kind of science experiment.
    6. Source Codeish Dream

      by , 11-13-2011 at 03:14 PM (Exploring My Mind)
      Getting back into the swing of things. There was a second dream from last night that's on the tip of my tounge that I just can't remember. Ah well. This dream is the one I could remember.
      I had a wrestling match with some person and when we were done, a random criminal came out to shoot this other person. The shooter ran away after killing the other person, and I gave chase, grabbing whatever I could and trying to throw it at him. I failed though, and funnily enough, I was transported back to the start of the event where I was wrestling. I realized this was like the movie Source Code, and because of this, I tried even harder to go after the killer when he shot the person again. This time, I caught him. I destroyed his gun, and after doing so, was about to restrain him, until he swung his fist at me. Before his blow connected, the dream ended.

    7. School and the T-Rex

      by , 11-13-2011 at 02:37 PM (Visions in the Dark)
      I am in a city I do not recognize. I live there and I am going to high school still, but I do not have a family and I live in a communal bording house for kids and young adults with no place else to go. I am at school and the teacher gives us a big assignment to do were we have to submit a thesis on something (but I cannot remember what now) but a lot of the young teens in my class are lazy and uninterested and do not bother to do the work. One of the stipulations of the assignment is that it must be hand written on lined paper, and not printed out from a computer.

      It takes me only one night to get my assignment done but as the due date approatches I notice that my only friends in my school has barely done hers at all and I offer to help her with it. The little bit she has done is on the computer and I start ccopying what she has written on lined paper until I get to were her assignment ends and I give it back to her. I tell her I cannot finish writing it out until she finishes her assignment. My friend becomes angry and bullies me to finish the assignment for her and eventually I cave in and agree because she is my only friend and I do not want to lose her, because then I would be truly alone.

      I am walking outside the next day. It is saturday and there is no school. I am feeling angry and resentful about always doing my work on time and the teacher's not caring since they don't care that the other students barely ever do their work. I pass a resturant that is in a large shopping plaza and on the inside are all my fellow classmates and my teachers and they are all eating great food. There is slices of roast beef covered in melted cheese; racks of juicy ribs; all kinds of potato side dishes, like mashed, boiled and spiced, and scalloped; and all sorts of vegetables and desserts.

      I assume this is a school thing that I didn't know about but when I go into the resturant I am told that they are really sorry but there is no food left because they didn't know they would need an extra place for me. I went over to my teacher and asked why I wasn't told about this and why there was no food for me, and my teacher responded that they had asked my one friend to tell me and it wasn't their fault if she had neglected to do so. I do not create a scene even though on the inside I feel like exploding. I quietly and calmly walk back to the bording house, take my friends assignment that I was doing for her, and rip it up and throw the peices all over her room.

      I look in the fridge and there is nothing I can make a meal with, just a carton of milk and some apples. I head back to he shopping center to my food for myself because I have a little bit of money. People I pass on the street say that some dinosaurs have escaped from the zoo and are headed our way, but even though I know dinosaurs are real in my dream world, I don't care because I am too miserable.

      In the grocery store my goal is to buy ground beef for tacos, because tacos are my favourite food and I think it will cheer me up a little, but I am tempted to buy many other things that I can just barely afford, including cartons of cigarettes, which are laying in a basket near the check out line and are on sale. I am so tempted my some things that I start contemplating trying to steal things, but I know it is wrong and before my thoughts become actions I can hear people screaming outside. When I look out the window I can see a huge Tyrannasaurus Rex stomping around the parking lot and attacking cars and eating people. I leave the grocery store and head into the shopping mall without buying anything at all because people are panicking and running into the grocery store to get away from the dinosaur and it is complete chaos.

      People in the mall are also panicking, which others are calmly walking around. I am not scared for some reason, though I feel very tired and slightly annoyed. Vendors in stores start putting up hand written sale signs on a lot of their goods, hoping people will buy items on sale in their panic. I think this is stupid and keep walking through the mall.

      I find a little girl crying in the center of the plaza and she says she can't find her mother. I ask where she last saw her mother and the little girl responds that her mother went to get some lunch and told her daughter to stay put. I ask the little girl if she knows what food stall in the food court her mother went to and the little girl says she does know which one and what it looks like, but does not know how to get there. I offer to take her and we push past panicking people who are flooding into the mall trying to escape the rampaging T-Rex but I do not tell the little girl what is going on outside. She is more interested in finding her mother anyway.

      We pass many interesting stores, including a shoe store with high heel boots made in Africa, an all natural scented candle store, and an interactive information booth on nature and geography around the world. The little girl and I find the food court and she points out the fast food place her mother went to. It is an Italian food place but the sign says Siesta Teisto, or something like that, which sounds Spanish to me. The little girl thanks me and runs into the store and when I go inside to see if she has found her mother, absolutely no one is there, not even the cooks or cashiers.

      I head back to towards the main plaza in the mall but can get there because there are so many people who have come from outside seeking shelter. I climb some stairs up to the second floor that leads to a fancy resturant or gym just as the T-Rex smashes through a ground floor window and starts rampaging through the mall. Lots of people are either crushed to death in the stampeed or are eaten, though I cannot remember much more from this dream.
    8. Katsuno - 13/11/2011

      by , 11-13-2011 at 01:38 PM (Floatinghead's dream adventures)
      1st: I dreamed of being in school and talking to a girl. I don't know what we talked about but at some point I realized that I'm dreaming. The strange thing was that the dream suddenly switched into 2D and it was like I watched a movie. I didn't feel my body but I had influence on what I did like in a video game. Because of this I woke up <.<

      2nd: I was standing in front of my school and for some reason I had won 4 Bilion € . I was like "I never have to go to school again and I don't need to work in my life!" and I was so happy. The first thing that came to my mind was to travel the whole world. I wanted to take some friends with me and this is where the strange part begins. I was now in a car and in the backseats were Zoro from One Piece and another person (I don't remember the face nor if it was a girl or a boy). Suddenly my crush walked by and I said "Hey, cmon in and join us! I won alot of money and we're going to travel the world!" and she was like "Wtf?! Really?!" and got inside. The next thing I remember is her saying that the money was stolen and the police is searching for us. I didn't believe her and we drove into another city. We rent a house and there was a time leap. It seemed like we already lived about a week inside that house and we had lots of fun. We went shopping everyday and whenever we saw something we wanted we just bought it
      Then suddenly the police came to our house and surrounded us. I asked "How did they find us?" and my crush said that she called them...she did it because she couldn't live like this while knowing that the money was stolen. A helicopter flew towards us and it seemed like the police wanted to capture the whole building. Then a strange thing began. The house suddenly had a huge rocket-propulsion system and we escaped with the whole building. It was so weird ^^

      I woke up but I wanted to go back into the dream because it was so funny. I focused on the dream while falling back asleep and I wanted to be lucid so I raised my awareness. But then something happened. It felt like in WILD and my whole body began to spin. I thought that I'm entering the dream but I didn't. Instead of this that weird stage continued for a while and then it stopped completely. I lost consciousness and I was inside the dream again.

      I got lucid again but it was like before and I had absolutely no control of my body so I lost it after about 10 seconds. The dream continued and I was now inside a new house and my crush promised me to never call the police again. I walked into the basement and saw Zoro. He trained with a training dummy and just learned how to do Rankyaku (Kicking the air with force so the wind forms a blade). He cheered and told me that he won't use it because he still has to learn other techniques. Supposedly he already knew how to do Soru and Shigan (If you watch OP you know what I mean ). A couple of moments later many helicopters approached. My crush said "She didn't do that!" and I told everyone to run in the nearest forest and hide while I distract them. The weird thing was that in front of the house 2 huge trucks arrived but instead of policemen, some marine soldiers and a admiral arrived. Suddenly I was Luffy and I fought them. Everytime I attacked the massive amount of soldiers I shouted "GOMU GOMU NO ....." and did my techniques. It was so awesome and I totally owned them. Then the Admiral was standing in front of me. I shouted "Gomu Gomu No Pistol!" but he evaded and punched me. For some reason I didn't feel pain. I noticed that some of the soldiers almost got into the house so I went into Gear Second and knocked them out while being ultra fast. I thought about a way to defeat the admiral and got an idea. I used Gomu Gomu No Pistol again and missed on purpose. He wanted to dash towards me but I did "Gomu Gomu No Whip" and hit him. He got smashed into the wall and I finished him off with the Rifle. When I hit him his face got completely smashed and he was done for. The dream scene skipped and the next thing I remember is that me and the others were walking up a mountain road. We were already pretty high up and looked down on a huge city. Just for fun I tried to blow into my thumb (Like Luffy in One Piece when he goes into Gear Third) and it began to snow in the city. It stopped after a few seconds. I knew that it was because of my action. I tried it again but this time I blew with more force. A huge snow storm started and the windows in the city were about to shatter because of the cold. We all laughed and walked on. When we arrived in a village I tried to blow on my thumb without it being in my mouth and it began to rain food. I was like "Holy shit!" and all the villagers jumped on the food to get some. I did it again and again and the villagers thought it was god who did this. I stopped doing it and they got angry on me. We walked on and got to some kind of altar. There was a cooking pot and some toys that looked like food-bags. I could turn the toys into real food bags and started to cook. The villagers helped me and I woke up.

      This dream was so awesome and I guess I dreamed that stuff because I told Windhover that we're going to have epic shared dreams that night.

      3rd: I was inside some kind of factory. Everywhere was a liquid that looked a bit like Lava. There was again a person with me and I don't know who he/she was. We walked on and found the owner of the building. I noticed that he killed a man and threw him in the liquid. I realized that this whole liquid was made out of dead people. I got scared but the guy already saw me. I told him that I'd work for him if he lets me live. I had to add ingredients into the fluid and suddenly 4 huge purple butterflies approached and the owner shouted "Get in cover or you'll die!". We hid under a blanket and somebody killed the butterflies. We walked outside and saw a huge army of them waiting to attack us. There were many other workers from the factory and they ran for their lifes. The butterflies attacked and me and another guy hid under a huge covering sheet. I noticed that the butterflies tried to get in but they couldn't find a hole. For some reason I jumped outside and had a rocket launcher with me. I had some kind of Devil fruit ability and shouted something like "Rocket Rocket No, Purple Scatter Missile!" and shot at the swarm of butterflies. My rocket scattered and hit many of them. It was really weird but I managed to kill them all. Suddenly a friend of mine was standing near me and asked me something. I knew that something was wrong and said "Get away, you're only a Dream Character!" and I cut his head off :O
      I didn't get lucid though...

    9. Weird, Vivid Acid Dream

      by , 11-13-2011 at 01:29 PM (Krista's Dream Journal)
      DreamLucid

      I was parked in my car in my driveway. The sun was setting, and my friend Frank was with me sitting in the passenger’s side seat. He looked very nice, his hair looked very groomed and he didn’t have all his facial hair.

      Apparently, we had just dropped acid (never done so in waking life). It was nighttime now as well. All the sudden, we were feeling pretty high. I felt out of my body, like I was floating above my car, and I saw that Frank was too. We were so high and carefree! Even though it was nighttime outside, the sky around us looked pink and purple, almost like a sunrise, though it was only an illusion induced by the acid. I was also communicating telepathically with Frank. Craziness. I worried a little bit about when the drug would wear off, and I’d have to go back to reality; I was apparently pretty depressed before I did the acid. I shrugged it off, however, and decided to just enjoy the ride. Frank and I talked and laughed together.


      I think I woke up for a minute, but went straight back to sleep, re-entering the same dream.

      I was still high in the dream, still sitting in the car with Frank. We decided to go somewhere. I was super fucked up, but I drove anyway. I don’t remember where we went.

      I then remember coming down from the acid. I was then in my house, and Frank was gone. It wasn’t too harsh, and I started to feel the waves of high that occur with mushrooms. I was alright with it, a lot moreso than I thought I would be. I was still high enough to make a fool of myself though, apparently, and I walked into a room that my dad was in. He was talking on the phone with my therapist. For some reason, I told him I was going to marry Frank, though I had NO plans to do so at all. My dad then told my therapist what I had said, and he was also pretty upset with me. He communicated with me when he got off the phone that Frank also saw my therapist and she couldn’t see me anymore if I married him because it would be a “conflict of interest”. I also remember hearing this from my therapist over the phone.

      I then told my dad that I wasn’t really going to marry Frank at all, and that I had been high on acid when I told him that. My dad then proceeded to tell me that Frank was always high and always dropped acid; he was kind of an acid-head. I had NO idea about this prior to us dropping acid; I thought at best he had done it a few times before, if that.

      My dad was also disappointed with me for driving while I was so high.

      I was then in my room, though it didn’t look like my real room and was a lot bigger. I was in bed watching “House” on my TV, which was on the opposite side of the room than in waking life. I was winding down for the night. My dad came to the door. He was still upset with me, and I felt ashamed of myself.

      [COLOR="blue"]This morning I had a really weird dream. I dreamt that two of my friends woke me up by screaming in my ear.
      They laughed, but I just lay in my bed (dreambed) and looked surprised at them. What were they doing in my room, was I even in my room? They went out and I thought to myself that I was going to try a DEILD attempt.
      I closed my eyes and saw a bright blue light and then when I opened my eyes I saw that I was still in my room, so I thought that I had failed the attempt. No realitycheck...

      Then I just went back to sleep within the dream and I...

      [COLOR="silver"]woke up! I realised how blind I had been. I need to make reality checkin after an awakening a habbit..[/COLOR]

    11. City and Liverpool at Old Trafford

      by , 11-13-2011 at 12:08 PM
      I was walking with my friend and I wanted to go to Old Trafford. We took 2 shortcuts when the first one failed and then we were at the entrance. I walked to the Stretford End and sat down the stand was full and Manchester City walked out. We all started booing. The security tried to kick me and my mates out because we didn't have any tickets but we stayed anyway.

      The match started and Michael Carrick nearly scored against Pepe Reina (yeah, I didn't notice the fact that Man City were no where to be seen) Then some Liverpool player fouled a Man United player and the stupid referee didn't give us a free kick. I started a chant "United,United" and "It's all gone quiet over there!". It went dark and then Shawn Michaels came out of nowhere and then a Rhino insulted everyone.
    12. 12/11/11. Fairground rides!

      by , 11-13-2011 at 10:20 AM
      Okay so I was at a fairground with my brother Sam and we wanted to go on this ride but it was PACKED full of people! We were forced to go on the big wheel instead which was going pretty fast... It was massive too and you had to use a catapult to launch yourself into it. Several times Sam was only holding on with one hand but i didnt get scared. (The point of the ride was to hang on to the edge not sit in the carriage. ) I felt sick and dizzy on the ride. My stomach had butterflies in it! Anyway, we rode the ride for about an hour then went t the other ride which wasnt too packed anymore. It was a big stage and everyone had to sit down on it, spread out. A white cat was put on the stage and whoever it chooses got to have the first go at the game. The cat chose me and I stroked it . It turns out there was no game and I just got a limited edition name tag! (?)

      I had a few more dreams but I really cant remember them.

      Still no lucid dream. I recalled one full, but short dream and a fragment.

      The fragment: I'm in the multimedia room with my class, with our math teacher. We're lurking on PCs and working on GeoGebra. Our teacher asks one of my friend: "What are you doing?"; He says "Eh..." and another friend looks at him laughing.

      The dream: I'm with a girl I've known for a long time in my bedroom. Smooth lighting, and we start making out. I work my way up to her pussy and we have sex... though, in a weird position. She was in that upside down position but we had little room and she should have felt uncomfortable because I remember her back being all curved from lying it against my bed. Anyway, we didn't finish. Just before I climaxed, she disappeared. Actually, she went to the toilets, but we didn't finish since we were exhausted.

      It had been a long time I wanted to have sex with her in a dream :3

    14. The Courtyard of Interesting Dream Phenomena

      by , 11-13-2011 at 08:12 AM (The Lab Notebook)
      Color-coding key:
      Awake, Non-lucid, Possibly lucid? (not sure), Lucid, Lucid 'dream within a dream,' [Commentary made while awake]

      [This morning, my alarm went off at 7:30. I had planned to get up and write, but I still felt so sleepy that I decided to sleep in. I believe I had all these dreams during the extra hour I slept in. Again, I don't remember the transitions that connected them, if there were any, which is why this entry may seem fragmented.]

      I'm out somewhere with my parents and T&P [some real-life friends of ours]. We're in a gravel parking lot, getting into our cars to go somewhere. I'm driving my own car by myself. I follow the other car, which has my parents and T&P in it, out of the parking lot and along a narrow, gravel-covered alley. There are two big rocks in the middle of it. I watch the other car drive over them and worry that my car isn't high enough off the ground to clear them, but it does, with no problem.

      I have a small patch of thick, dark-brown hairs growing out of a mole on the right side of my chin. I want to pull all the hairs out with tweezers, but I look for the tweezers and can't find them. Later, I look in the mirror again and have a short, but thick beard, with only a couple of long hairs straying outside of the beard zone. I still can't find the tweezers, so I try to pull them out with my fingers, but can't; they're too solidly rooted. I continue playing with those hairs with my fingers as I go about the rest of my day.
      [Funny how at no point during this sequence did I think to question the situation; I'm a girl! I do, however, find and pull on stray hairs like that often in real life.]

      I'm explaining to someone, over the phone [I think], that J&L have passed away. The conversation continues, and I say something about how hard it must be for the other person to find this out. [J&L are the original owners of the house I'm now renting. I've had this conversation over the phone at least twice in real life. Even though I never actually met them, it's still hard to tell people that news.]

      I'm in a body of water, and there's this little cartoon guy swimming in the water. He has a mask and a snorkel on. There is a song playing: “let's go swimming under the sea!”, it says, or something like that. I'm following the little cartoon guy as he swims through the water. I have my own snorkel, but no mask. I don't really need it, though, because when I duck my head below the surface, I can see underwater just as clearly as if I were wearing a mask, and the water doesn't sting my eyes at all. Then, the little cartoon guy starts diving deeper under the water. I think to myself, It annoys me when cartoon characters do that when they only have a snorkel. [Somewhere toward the beginning of this dream, I became aware that I was dreaming, but I don't remember precisely when, nor what triggered it.] I want to continue following him under the water, and I think to myself, I can breathe underwater in dreams. My known dream ability to breathe water activates at this thought. I abandon the snorkel and continue following the little cartoon guy. We're in what looks like an ocean. The water is deep blue, and there are sea creatures of some kind swimming in it.

      I'm in an unfamiliar bedroom, going to sleep. I even feel sleepy. While I'm getting into bed and falling asleep, I think about the fact that I'm going to be in a a dream as soon as I fall asleep, and that I'm going to be lucid and take conscious, intentional action while I'm there.
      [I remember having a specific mission in mind, but I don't remember what it was.] After a few seconds, I roll sideways out of bed and know that I'm in the dream world. [I think some kind of dream followed, but I don't remember it now. After that dream ends,] I'm back in the same bedroom again, and I go through the same sequence of falling asleep and knowing that I'm about to enter a lucid dream. This time, I sit up in bed to enter the dream, and then climb out of bed and step away from it, towards the door of the room. I cast a sidelong glance over at the bed and get a glimpse of myself, lying asleep. I quickly look away. I think, I know this is a dream room, and that that isn't actually my real body, but still, it's creepy. [I'm pretty sure I was aware that I was dreaming throughout this entire sequence, even the parts where I was falling asleep.] The reason I know that the whole experience is just a dream is that the bedroom I'm in isn't mine. The walls are painted a dark, cool color, the bedclothes match the walls, and the room is longer and narrower than my real one.

      From that unfamiliar bedroom, I walk out into a plaza surrounded by buildings. It is a sunny day. There are signs in the plaza directing people to an area where a birthday party is being held for a child. I walk into that area and find a table with a bunch of party food set out on it. From that table, I take a cupcake and start eating it, without bothering to take the paper off first. I want to take advantage of the opportunity to do that. I know that this is my dream body, so I don't have to worry about the paper doing me any harm, and in addition, I don't have to worry about what the DCs around me will think if they see me eating the cupcake paper. The cupcake itself feels and tastes exactly like cupcakes do in real life. I walk around while eating it, observing all the people walking around and the kids running around and playing in the courtyard.

      As I continue to explore the dream environment, I come upon another sign reminding everyone that it's time to go and complete the paperwork to register their cars. I follow the directional arrows on the sign, and end up entering a building that contains an office with a reception desk front and center as you walk in the front door of the building. I go up to the reception desk, tell the woman there my name, and ask for my car registration form. It turns out that the form is filed under my old address from when I was living in Florida. She gives it to me to update. The sheet of paper she gives me is the top sheet of a piece of carbon paper. It's a sheet I already filled out back when I was living in Florida; it has all my information from those days on it, in my handwriting, in blue ballpoint pen. I start working on bringing the information on it up to date.

      The top section of the form contains several multiple-choice questions with checkboxes below them. These questions are all about your religious beliefs, and they're really only on the form as a formality. They ask about whether or not you believe in the Bartel Water Bug, and the boxes indicating non-belief are already checked. I read over this section and then start updating the form with my current address, but then it occurs to me to think: Why am I wasting dream time filling out a form? I look up from the paper to see what the woman behind the desk is doing. She has turned away to do something else. I set down my pen, turn around, and walk quickly out of the building while she's not looking.

      Back in the courtyard, I discover that the item I've decided
      [in real life] to use as a totem, which in my case is a thimble, behaves in a very interesting way when thrown or tossed in a dream. Namely, it acts like a magnet. Whenever it comes anywhere near another person [yes, even if the other person is just a DC], it flies away from them as if it were being repelled by their presence. Then it flies back toward me, straight into my hand, as if it were magnetically attracted to me. I encounter a family that I know in real life, walking along the edge of the courtyard. I say something like, “You're gonna get this thing thrown at you,” to the 7-or-8-year-old daughter in the family, and then I throw my thimble at her. When it gets within about a foot of her, it flies away from her and back toward me, and I catch it. [That's the last I remember.]

      Side notes:

      When I woke up for real and reflected on the part of my dream where I kept dreaming about waking up and falling asleep within the dream, I thought, "Cool! My mind came up with a kind of hybrid dream experience, incorporating characteristics of the lucid dreaming experience that I learned from Inception (the knowledge that I was about to fall asleep and immediately find myself in a lucid dream, the experience of entering that dream from within another dream), as well as characteristics that I learned from DreamViews and from EWOLD (the perception of rolling out of my dream body and the knowledge that that room was itself a dream)." To those people who looked down on the newcomers who jumped on the lucid-dreaming bandwagon after Inception came out: I was one of those bandwagon-jumpers, even though I tried not to be too obnoxious and annoying about it, and I believe that we newcomers are perfectly capable of learning and growing into the world of lucid dreaming as it is actually experienced outside of the movies.

      WILD

      I see an image of me swimming through the water....almost feels like a game. Everything transitions perfectly....and I'm actually doing the swimming. I'm in some ancient underground area. The walls are made of stones, and there are painted murals. Just really old stuff. ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE'S A LOUD BANG AND i WOKE UP.
