1. Fun Yard Day

There's a hot air balloon. Bill V's car is in the lake. People are hanging off the side of the balloon basket and dipping in the lake like it's an amusement ride.
In my back yard Arial and a whole gang is there. I'm wet from the hot air balloon thing. Craig wants to go skydiving so Jen takes him to skydive somewhere. All the kids are running around playing. The grass in my dad's yard is really long so you can lay down and disappear. My dog Reese is running around. The driveway is like a little lake and I'm throwing little balls around and lightly hitting people and playing. There's a toddler play area near the garage. There's different cultures of kids there. An asian kid was playing on a keyboard and he was really good! At the end there's something to do with going skiing at a ski resort. We were wasting time before we had to do something else.

2. Italy Flash

I was in Italy with J. We were at this museum type thing. J got coaxed into stealing something so she can get into Downton Abbey so she can get a sneak preview of an upcoming episode. Nobody in my home watches that show! We get out and I'm with Jim H - a client. We're watching some show but there's a bunch of Amish people watching it in this theater. They looked at us like we were in the wrong place. My mom comes in and says I have to work at 5 in the morning so we leave. Jim goes to this store and is being stubborn. I go to a library area and LJ is there and she looks like she's gained weight. I'm semi-lucid as I have her flash me and say "eh".

1. Goblin Clay Bricks

I'm at my parent's place & there's a mysterious piece of paper that I put in my pocket. I walk down the road and all these goblins break into the realm and start harassing us. They're looking for the piece of paper that I keep hidden. They stuff us in a house and hit us and stuff. Daylight comes and they can't touch the light. They turn into clay. Before nightfall the next day we mold them into the house so they're now bricks in the house.

2. Goblins to lucid lust

There's another goblin dream...They're pushing us somewhere. There's 3 of us and we have a stick across us. We're going through a tunnel and they keep grabbing the stick and throwing us down. We get to the light at the end of the tunnel and they can't touch it. We get out and are walking through a field. I have to hide in the grass but the grass is alive and grabs me. I hear a dog somewhere. I hear some people that I'm supposed to follow.
They go to Booster's house and I see an aerial view where they're interviewing him. It's hard to get into his house. There's a guy doing a documentary and he can get in. Booster's flexing and doing flips and there's a party at the house. I'm trying to follow them and they take a car. I'm not supposed to be there but I'm flying and chasing this car. I stop and talk to this girl. She says she's dreaming right now as well. She says she knows me from Michigan. She says to prove it she'll fly to Denver in the morning and call me.

Fragment

Something to do with my hair changing. My hair (that is normally a brown color was now black and blonde. The black and blonde hairs mixed in sort of a spiral pattern and my hair was fairly long.

Waking side notes:

I'm on vacation right now, and the internet out here is REALLY slow. I'm not sure how this vacation is going to affect my recall. But I want to try to have a couple lucids between now and then, maybe i can finally build my dream base.

1. 3/8/13

There's a spacecraft made of stone in the backyard of my parents house. We go exploring it. We're part of a mission and some people in my crew go to crawl in. It's a tight squeeze and it's dark. It feels like a cave and they're trying to shut the door with everyone in it but I realize it's too small so I opt to stay out. When they shut the door someone inside dies and blood oozes out of the craft. They go to take off and I see the craft crash into the back of my parents house - with moss all over it and a water hose stuck to the side of it. They take off to the alien planet.

My sister and I came out of a house in the small village called Holme near our home. I somehow assembled the skeleton of a weird transport vehicle out of random pipes and other metal pieces, and just so, my sister and I got on board with me as a pilot. I pushed off in the direction of our house. Literally pushed off. I had to push the vehicle off the ground with my leg to get it floating, and not long after that, it sunk back down to the ground. Like many other supernatural things in my dreams, the vehicle used hope and belief as fuel, and apparently I didn't believe that it would fly, at least not for it to fly more than very awfully. We did cross a few rooftops however, even though it felt those houses were the size of dollhouses.

I saw a friend I know and saw his teeth. They looked gross. All yellow and some were gone...
Then I had a strong desire to be with my girlfriend.
I felt good sensations on my back like maybe I was growing wings.
Then I heard a loud rumble of noise.
That was it. I woke up and my body was still asleep. It took a little while before I could move and record my dream.

It was first set in the city I'm currently living in. Me and a couple of my family members were out driving together early in the morning towards an area so far away, we were going to stop by a forest and through a river. But like many times, there were some complications.

We had no car to take us there. We had another choice of transportation. We used Segway Scooters. We first used these driving through the streets of the city. Then we later ridden them through a road through the forests far from home. Being in that forest gave me a familiar feeling, like I've been there before. I probably had, but I don't remember a river over crossing the roads.

What scared me the most was the huge amount of water located on the sides of the dirt road. There were also times when my scooter went out of control and I eventually I had to ditch it for something else. I was too close to falling in the water, and I don't know what would've happen if I fell in but, after all that driving, I finally made it out. When I did, I entered a new city, well, a Minecraft city.

I saw nether crack rectangular shaped home up in the sky, and pvp was enabled. I wasn't sure if anyone was in that area, so I decided to chat in local to see if anyone heard me. I typed something, I don't remember, and I immediately knew someone was around because I didn't see the "No one can hear you" message. Upon noticing this, someone automatically teleports to me and attacks me. I quickly teleport myself somewhere else, wait a few seconds, and then teleport back to the place this other player was in.

When I transported back I appeared to be standing inside the nether crack home he was in. I saw him. He was also in diamond armor, so I had to figure out how to kill him before he sees me. He was mining some nether crack when I found him. I hid behind a corner behind me and tried my best to not let him spot me. Sooner or later I realized that he was going to kill me, so I took this opportunity to kill him with my diamond sword.

I slowly destroyed some nether crack around me, just to grief his work, went up to him and instead of killing him with the sword, I mined the nether crack around him to try and get him to die in the lava below. It didn't work though. At first, there was stone deeper in the nether crack then he came back from afk and left the area surrounding him. I quickly hid myself in a corner and just before he was about to attack me, I logged out. It didn't work the first time, so I exit the browser immediately.

5:43AM - #154 - Carjacked - DILD

My wife and I are taking my older daughter to school. I see the time is 6:27AM and she needs to be there at 7AM. I am near her grandparents house and I see her great grandparents drive by us in a white SUV. My daughter needs to stop at her grandparents for something and since we are early I say OK.

For some reason we don't pull into their driveway but wait in some parking garage full of police cars. I assume it's a police station. I am talking to my wife while we wait and I realize I left the other car parked in the middle of the intersection. I decide I better go move it. When I get to it I see someone is in the driver seat making a U-turn. I run up to the car and jump in the passenger side before he can get away. I yell at him and tell him to get out of my car. He mostly ignores me. I see a cop walking near the station and I roll down the window, wave my arm to get his attention, and tell him to help me. He seems like he can't really understand me and just smiles and waves back.

I pull out my phone to call 911. I tell the carjacker that if he just leaves I won't bother calling the cops. He grumbles something and tells me I better not. I go to dial and he slaps the phone and nearly makes me drop it. I turn sideways in the car and kick him in the face. Then, I dial 911. I look up and the car is parked and the man is running away.

Dispatcher: 911. What's your emergency?
Me: Help me. He tried to steal my car. We are in CJ near the police station. I am in a White Mercury.
Dispatcher: How did it happen?
Me: Well I left it running in the street. Hurry! He's getting away!

I see the man vault over a barbed-wire fence and run into a pasture with about 10 cows. He dashes through the herd only to be clotheslined by a burly cop. There is a short fight and several other cops come to subdue him. Then, one of the cows gets riled up by all the action and begins to paw hooves at the burly cop, but he is not to be bothered. He picks the cow up with one arm and body slams it hard to the ground.

Relived, I thank the dispatcher tell her that they got him. I wait for more instruction or at least some sort of reply but the phone is silent. "Hello?" No answer. I put the phone away, step out of the car, stretch and say, "AH! Now that was a good dream."

The dream goes black and I am in the void. I say, "Oh wait! I am dreaming!" I try to bring the dream back by rubbing my hands but I feel like I am just lying in bed with my hands up in front of me. I do this for about a full minute. I begin to feel my left hand go numb like it does when I try to read or something laying down. I wonder if I am really doing this or if it is a dream. I decide it's not working and relax. I immediately feel a slight vibration but It was so brief that I think it's only just beginning. I try to wait for more but fall victim to FA.

I wake up on the dinning room table with a blanket over me. Immediately begin to recall the dream with accurate detail and begin writing with pencil and paper. I decide to only write a brief summary like I usually do on my GP.

I look at the other end of the table and see my two cats and one of my dogs all snuggled up together with their own blanket. The dog wakes up and jumps off. I look to the bedroom and see some man coming out with my wife. He looks like one of the quality engineers from work. They are chatting while he is taking photos and measurements of house. I get self conscious and annoyed that he is doing all this when I just woke up. I must look a mess here on this table. I wake up.

Fragmented recall.

Dream 1:

There was bridge with some control systems and computers, and i was making some Doom looking game there, or possibly a mod. I was running a bunch of tests and some multiplayer playtests but many things were going wrong so i had to change a bunch of stuff. Some weapons were also behaving completely differently from what i was expecting, but people i was testing it with somehow knew that and were using them really well against me. Also one of the levels was some kind of temple with lava and traps.
When i was done i went through gate on one of the ends of the bridge and i was in some kind of forest or jungle now. My objective was to survive, there were some birds and there were zombie parts just lying around, which apparently were edible. Later i have reached swamp and there were more weird creatures. After swamp i meet a monk, i asked him to teach me something, and he agreed.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was on top of the high building in the city and below, on the ground level, there were three swarms of zerglings of different colors that were enemies between each other. I had control of the gates between them and was trying to make one of the sides victorious.

Dream recall from non-lucid naps, haven't had time to type them fully earlier. One was somewhat long, dreamtime-wise

Nap #1(fragment):

I was doing some detective work in some mansion and there was a room full of clocks.

Nap #2

Can't recall much of dream start, but at certain point i was in some kind of FPS game, there was large area that looked like some military laboratory and two scientists were discussing something on the balcony, shortly they asked me to leave, so i did. I was going through various passages and areas, fighting through various humanoid creatures of various colors(i recall orange and cyan ones), at first i had just an energy pistol, but later i got rifle that dropped from one of enemies. Then there was area with waterfall and on top of it i got weapon that looked alot like translocator from game called Unreal Tournament 2004, but the game kept calling it 'fist' for some reason. I was fighting through many more rooms and enemies and it looked wrong and endless, so i was trying to figure out what i should do.
I managed to use some kind of time device and returned to the point before scientists, i still had my weapons too. This time when asked to leave i used 'noclip' cheat to hide in the wall and keep listening, but when they finished the talk i laughed and they discovered me. They said something like that i should have not done that and escaped, though i managed to borrow a pen from one of them. Shortly tons of enemies filled the room, but since i had weapons it was not hard to deal with them. I continued the game like previously, but this time i met a friendly humanoid, who was tall and muscular and was wearing some kind of military armor. We started progressing together while discussing various things, when we reached waterfall room, translocator 'fist' weapon was not there, but there was dead body, which for some reason i decided to put into my pocket, successfully, though i had to relocate a pen. Later on i found that weapon though, in different place.
We have reached some room with monitors and we were having discussion about multiplayer part of the game, the maps for multiplayer were showing on monitor, there were a few tiny weird planets. We were also talking about places in multiplayer maps, that were story related, making progression entirely through multiplayer possible.
Shortly we were out of the lab area, and now we were in the city and we somehow were out of the game. We were searching for someone and we visited some mass dining hall in our searches. I went for for random table while he was checking people entering/leaving. I looked around and most of characters were pretty weird, in fact most of them were humanoid rats and hamsters. But there was also a girl, and that's who we were looking for. I asked her if she would like to join the team and she agreed. Dream skips.
I was near the street and someone was waiting for me on the other side of it. I had some problems crossing it and i saw some kangaroos around, but eventually i did crossed it and followed the person into the forest area. It was really dark and we had no night vision goggles so we had to return. Not sure what happened after but i was back at home and i went to sleep.
Next day we were trying to get through forest place again, but we had no luck and then i somehow got into some huge classroom. There were bunch of people and we were discussing something. And then everything went weird and i my clothes somehow disappeared, but shortly i got a skirt( ). There was weird girl with purple hair annoying me and shortly classroom was full of various people. Some were suggesting me something, others were annoying me. Shortly a list appeared on the table, and it was saying that i was banned from somewhere.( ) And then weird woman in business suit appeared and said something that made me rage. I grabbed her face and heavily squeezed it, she dropped dead. Everyone around looked shocked and then dream ended.

Okay, there's a band playing, and I jump in on bass and finish the rest of the song with the guy on lead. After we're done, he daps me up and hands me his pick. We head elsewhere, where it looks like we're in Halloween Town. Children are sleeping in beds, and the guitar guy goes up to one, pulls out a key, and she starts hovering. All of a sudden her chest opens up, and a heart comes out of it. He ate it and became more powerful. I was pretty sure that the girl was evil anyway, so I did the same thing. My skin turned green, and some vampire dude came at me, and I did the same thing to him. I looked in the mirror, and saw that I was a huge orc with vampire fangs. Someone screamed out that people were out of of control so I headed out to see what was going on.

When I got to the room, everyone was running away from Kevin Heart..apparently he got the powers from hearts too. I rushed at him, grabbed him, and jumped through the ceiling with him, and smashed back down through the roof into the hard wood floor. Then I got him in a choke hold, and his body just faded away....I really wanted to fight something else but the dream was over.

Thursday 3/28/13

Bed 12:15am - 7am
Nap 8:45am - 11:07am

Started out on my back, then turned to the left side.

I got 3 WILDs and remembered first two of them. When trying to recall the last one, I suddenly realized I don't remember the second one.

1. I wanted to have a LD walking outside of my apartment and talking to DCs. So I kept that visual as WILDing. I got lucid and recognized the apartment I got lucid in as my real place. (only it wasn't). I walked out through door, recognized the hallway and the courtyard it lead to. Wanted to get to the street, but not through the wall where I couldn't see the other side. So I got higher and tried to go through glass part of the gate.

I guess here I remembered ToTM and wanted to break it. I wouldn't break so I just squeezed through it. There were some people on the street, I grabbed a guy and had my way with him, while his friends were watching.

2. I'm sitting on a sofa bed with cat in my lap. Someone is asking me if I can get lucid again, so soon after my previous one. I think I had a new type of entry here, but can't recall what it was.

3. ?

Compared to yesterday's LDs, these were pretty weak (except the first one).

It's been a while since I've kept myself busy with lucid dreaming, I hope I can stick to it now. Got a lot of time on my hands now. So I bought a book lately to scribble some keywords in when I wake up from my dreams. I had 3 dreams last night which I can remember, and 2 of them are somehow connected.


Dream 1

Someone died, a relative of a guy I know from back when I was still in high school. So I'm at the funeral now. Shaking hands and saying condolences to people. I walk up to the coffin, and see him lying down on his belly.

(So this is kinda weird, a dead person lying on his belly and not on his back? Lol, can't believe that didn't get me lucid.)

I'm being told that he was bullied and comitted suicide.

(At this point I'm not really sure wether this dream is being continued or wether it's another dream. But I get the feeling this happened later in another dream, like a sequel.)


Dream 2: Continuation of dream 1

I'm helping someone that's being bullied, I'm looking from this at a top view. I can see it as me helping someone, but it's depicted as league of legends characters. I'm Shaco, and on my team is Katarina. We're running away from Fizz because we just killed one of his teammates (the bully). Katarina and the rest of my 'team/friends' flee by taking the staircase down. Guess I'll stealth and walk off in a different direction to the B wing of my school.

Someone's acting tough towards me and I get mad, I start kicking him while dodging his kicks or catching them (I've been kickboxing for nearly 2 years so I'm pretty good at this) and at one point we stop fighting and I see this black-drugsdealer-tattoo'd-guy in a white tank top staring at me. I look him sharp in the eyes and then proceed to fight, I give this guy a front kick now and he reacts to it by giving a roundhouse kick but I catch it! I'm about to sweep him down by shoving his leg away. However... Just when I'm about to do this the black guy puts a gun in my back. I've let my guard down, and it's over now...

Or so I think. A friend of mine yells out to the black guy and it's my friend Jeffrey (this guy used to be totally crazy, using drugs and dealing in them so naturally he knows those people. Also I don't hang out with him anymore.), and he tells him we're friends so we're all cool now.


Dream 3

I'm walking in the neighboorhood where I live, well not really, but it resembles it. I think this setting is just bits and pieces from around my place sewn together if that makes sense. I see 3 guys on a bike but I ignore them and they cycle past. Suddenly my friend Jelle is with me and we're walking around, and he sees a house and tells me that it's the place where Kik lives. This 40 years old or so we know. So he knocks on the door and when the door is opened Jelle doesn't say anything anymore. He must be seeing something shocking, else he wouldn't react this way. I'm not in line of sight to see this, but I hear some familiar voices.

I still don't know what was in there. Probaly something shocking like an orgy or whatever.

The dream starts as I'm in my car trying get out of the parking lot at my school. School had ended and for some reason the lot was very crowded with cars, more than usual in IRL. Everyone in the cars are the idea of the people I talk to in school and in my brain we're trying to figure out plans for the rest of the night.

The dream skips to an image of being at sonic talking to some friends.

Then it skips to me being at my house. I'm on the phone talking to my friends Sam and Kolby about plans and it concludes with them saying they're coming over to my house. I'm in my kitchen when I hang up the phone as I can see the bathroom door open. Out comes a girl that I sort of have feelings for named Ellie. She's only wearing a black bathing suit as she walks up to me and strikes this sexy pose. I think in my mind, 'am I going to have time to do this before my friends come over?' but I decide I don't care so I go over and pick her up. She has her legs around me as I lean up against a table. We start to make out and this part is really vivid to me for some reason... like I can feel her lips and the ridges in them. While this is happening I notice someone from the grade above me walks into my vision behind Ellie's face..someone named Cole. Also, I'm only in my underwear. I disregard him and continue to kiss Ellie when I see my mom has now walked up next to Cole. Ellie jumps down and falls to the ground crying her eyes out so I get down onto my knees and comfort her. She gets up and kisses me one more time before I focus my attention to Cole. His friends are yelling at him to make plans on the phone so he hangs up and says that it's always their fault for not having plans.

In another dream I had, I had some paranormal shit happen to me. This might sound weird but I think it might've happened IRL, or something close to that. I'm laying in my bed when all of the sudden I get this crazy feeling that starts from my lower back and comes up to my shoulders. It's gripping me with something that feels really amazing but also kinda uncomfortable. I don't really know but I end up talking about it in another dream to someone. The feeling is something I feel sometimes between the transition of dreaming or being awake into a lucid dream. I also hear this really distinct chiming noise or song that plays in my head as this is happening to me.

Also this morning I walked outside and everything looked really different like in a dream... like the lighting wasn't right or something. I did a reality check and turns out it was real life... really creepy if you ask me.

As I fall asleep, I meditate on my mantra and what awareness means.

#1 - Many dream fragments and incomplete dreams. I hover on the edge of lucidity during many of them, but they aren't cohesive enough and I never attain lucidity.

I wake up, and I'm very hot. I still have a fever. I peel off my socks and turn my thermostat down.
I attempt WILD. As REM atonia sets in - much more swiftly than I was expecting - I hear a great deal of loud static and what sounds like a modem dialing. I come very close to entering a dream several times but fail - for whatever reason - and lapse into regular sleep.


#2 - I have a dream about a castle that floats up in the sky. In my dream, I see a far-off view of the underside in a sunny sky full of puffy clouds. There is vegetation hanging from it. In the center of it there is something like a spire but instead of being like a castle it's like a skyscraper. I realize that this island is dominated by a small but elite group of people and everybody else on there toils for their benefit.

Then, I'm on the castle. I'm running around trying to get to the central courtyard or something, I'm not sure. But the whole thing is ledges with no railing and bridges that don't go anywhere. In the back of my mind, I think, "I wonder if I jumped over the edge, if I would fly or if this dream would end?" I realize that - of course - I'm dreaming. I immediately lift off and fly past all of the ridiculous fake bridges.

I land in an archway that leads to a hallway and begin to walk down it. I realize I'd like to visit the "home base", a location I've been trying to create. I see an archway that has heavy double wooden doors set into it with ornate handles, and I decide that I will use it as a doorway to get where I would like to go.

I pull on the heavy handles, and the doors swing open. Inside is my base - or, at least, a room that has many of its key features. They have been heavily altered, however, or some things are just missing. Part of it, I think, was to fit the castle theme - rather than my comfortable lounge, it looks more like a castle kitchen. I also notice that the fire in my fireplace is out. I try to light it by snapping my fingers, but it doesn't work. Not a big deal, I decide - I can breathe fire (obviously). I'll just start the fire that way.

I crouch down on the hearth (whose bricks are "wrong" but I decide it's nothing I can't fix with a little effort) and begin to breathe on the fire. There's nothing but air coming out of my mouth, at first. I focus on the sensation of the air passing through my lips and imagine that the blowing noise is getting louder. The air now has a yellow tinge, and the ash in the fireplace begins to stir. I focus on the yellow tinge in the air and it becomes brighter and glows more. Embers begin glowing in the fireplace. I blow on them harder, and they spread and bloom. The fire doesn't roar to life - it begins to slowly spread and grow like a real fire would.

I decide I would like something to eat. I'm not able to summon anything directly, so instead I call to a servant (they are there but I don't turn to look at them) and telepathically tell them that I would like some food. I consciously opted for telepathy because I was getting the sensation that the lucid dream was getting "thin" and if I attempted to speak to them out loud I would do so in real life and wake myself up. It didn't matter either way, since once they walked away, the dream began to fade. I wake up.

#3 - I dream about a group of high-schoolers, sort of Breakfast Bunchy, except they also have a little girl (a toddler) with them. Sometimes I'm one of them, and sometimes I'm just watching. They live in an apartment complex or condos or something and are wandering around outside in a storm. It's storming heavily but they don't seem to mind the rain, although they periodically lose the toddler and have to keep looking for her. They decide that they would like to go to the beach during this storm.

One of them, a guy with blond hair, says he needs to take care of some business first. The others don't know it but he's actually an assassin and has been working as one since he was 16, and he needs to check his secret base for something. While they're waiting, he gets completely sidetracked. His love-interest goes looking for him and stumbles across his base. Inside is a TV screen with another guy on it (he is hideously ugly) who is a rival assassin who wants to kill the guy... he manages to press through the TV screen and emerge from it physically. The woman starts throwing pottery at him, but stops short at a set of antique vases because she doesn't want to bust them.

The other high schoolers finally find the hideout. One of them is irritated because the storm is now nearly over. Blond assassin guy also finally shows up again. The whole scene ends up with all of the high schoolers in there, throwing pottery at the bad guy. Even the toddler.

After he's defeated, the whole place is full of clothing racks and everybody begins trying on clothing. I'm watching but I'm also the love-interest girl and I am trying to fit into a sweater but the sleeves are too small to fit my hands through (I highly suspect I was trying to punch through my blanket at this point). He helps by unbuttoning the sleeves and helping me work my hands through them.

I wake up. I'm still hot. I turn the thermostat down more.

Continuation of the previous dream - I'm with blond assassin guy and we're driving a very long distance to his family's home in the countryside. I'm talking about getting a Master's degree and a school I would like to attend in France, but I'm worried about the cost of tuition. We arrive at the house and see that it is perched on the edge of a canyon. I run down the steep incline to see what's at the bottom. When I look up, the guy is gone.

I don't know where he's went, but 2 people (hunters) are approaching me, and one of them has a ridiculous "hillbilly" accent. The girl (I've gone to 3rd person again) seems worried that they will try to ask her out and tells them that she can only interact with other people if she has won some clothing. They agree to help her win something.

Clearly, the way to win a prize is to hunt a bear, and the way to hunt a bear is to bounce up and down in a giant net. The 2 hunters tie the net to some trees and use it to propel the girl up into the air, where she waves at and taunts the bear. This pisses the bear off to no end, so it charges at the net. The bear gets tangled up in the net and they vanquish it. Once defeated, the bear transforms into a small pile of First Aid kits. They rifle through the kits looking for clothing, but only find an inflatable bed and a bunch of nonsensical instruction booklets.

#4 - I dream I live in an apartment complex but also a hospital. I live on the 6th or 7th floor, and all of floor 4 is designated for heart attack victims and full of nurses. The maintenance staff has deposited a bunch of bizarre looking furniture outside all of the apartment doors except mine. I'm irritated that I didn't receive any furniture so I run around stealing everybody else's.

Goals:
- Continue ADA and mindfulness on daily basis, as energy levels and attention span allow
- Daily journal updates, in particular, also seem to help
- I need to engage with my environment more
