All DJ Entries

I was wandering around in a pretty run-down residential area. There were gaps in all the fences and everything was black and white. This charcoal-black dog came up to me and wouldn't leave me alone. The dog had black antlers too, that all curved in one direction, off to the side. I tried pushing him away at first and he wouldn't leave, so I cautiously let him be, and he just hung out next to me. I still didn't like it very much. There was a big black spider that was hanging out with me, and he could talk. We started exploring together. Ben Zarling started popping up at intervals. A cop stopped by, apparently checking to see what we were up to. She was older, about 40ish, black, with dreadlocks under her cop hat. She kept following us while trying to make it look like she was checking out other stuff as we entered a house. In the house was a hallway with what looked like jail cells on the right side. We started trying to figure out a way to knock out the cop lady, and the spider suddenly took he side. Ben told me to just squish the spider, so I hit him with a baseball. When I hit him a couple times, a gem popped out, a big gem, like 1 cm ruby with some red blood on it from the spider. I recognized the gem from (i guess) a previous dream in which I knocked a gem from another character and it made them search unstoppably for the gem, and they could also not be killed when separated from it. There was a small dark hole in the wall in the back corner of the hallway and another under some broken stairs that led to nowhere. The cop lady caught up with us and started looking for me in the first hole, while I hid under the stairs. The spider gave her a hint to look under there, and she started rubbing dirt off of a stair, which was clear plastic. I gave up and came out of my hiding spot, and since I wasn't yet doing anything illegal she couldn't do anything yet. I still didn't want her there and she wouldn't go away, like the dog, although I felt better about the dog by now. I then went into the first hole in the wall and there was just a bunch of dark ruins in there. The floors, walls, and ceilings of a series of rooms was all made of bricks, and pretty much every floor wall or ceiling had collapsed parts. Through a large gap in the floor I could see a a bunch of other rooms in the floor below, all with large piles of fallen brick. We picked out way carefully into adjoining rooms and that's all I remember.

Dreamed that I was in a room about the size of the racketball courts at the gym that had one door in the front to get in or out. Me and two friends (I don't remember who) had to fight and kill the other people to escape. This particular set of foes was led by a woman who was known for putting booby traps in an area and around the exit. She and her cronies came in, and we started testing each other as one or two of her group would come over and try to attack. I had a rather flimsy but razor sharp ribbon of metal/sword thing and I don't remember what my partners had. One of the bad guys came over, and he was older and told us that he was with the FBI and was trying to shut this place down and arrest those involved, but that we would be arrested too if we didn't lay down our weapons. I angrily told him that I didn't see anyone arresting anyone yet but that I didn't know if he was for real or not so I told him to get away from me. If he was right, I'd defend myself in court. Otherwise, he could be tricking us.

Lucid False Awakening

Last night was the worst sleep I've gotten in months, yet ironically it was my third and longest lucid, and I completed a Task of the Month!

I found myself in a gorgeous ski-lodge/ hotel, made completely with polished redwood and hardwood flooring. I was living there, alone, and my bedroom was bare save a neatly made bed that was only dipped on one side - a subtle hint that I no longer had, or had never had, a girlfriend in this dreamverse. I was a writer, and my study was cluttered with handwritten pages and crumpled failures. Surveying the seen in a relaxed yet depressed mood, I suddenly heard a hiss behind me.

Turning quickly, a found a dead and zombie-like little girl with a red headband hissing and coming towards me. Still calm, I thought, this couldn't really happen, and suddenly my mind fought to gain lucidity, reaching a hazy stabilization. In waking life I was asleep with a nightmask on, and that carried through to my lucidity, making a weird, half-blinded effect. I tried to wipe my eyes, and peel away the mask, but to no avail. The dream began to collapse around me and I woke up. Looking around I saw my girlfriend on the top bunk in a bunkbed next to me, sleep walking and threatening to tumble over the edge. I called out to her several times, yet she still carreened over the edge into my arms. Wait, we are sleeping in the same bed in waking life... This is a false awakening!

I was instantly sucked back into my previous dream, and this time the beautiful red wood lodge with its gorgeous support beams and white trim reappeared. The sensation of whooshing into lucidity was euphoric and unlike anything I've felt in a while. I heard a hiss, and turned to see the little girl back behind me. I told her I didn't have time for her, waved my hand dismissively, and she disappeared. I turned to hear yet another his, and this time it was a floating tiger head. I dismissed this as well, and turned to get my bearings.

I was in the main lobby, with two giant glass skylights. Without thinking, I lifted off the ground and flew out one of them into the air, and landed in the untouched forest outside. My stabalization was still perfect, so I took a moment to remember the tasks of the month. I remembered laying an egg, but then I recalled Ophelia's story about thinking she had pooped herself and I decided to try a different one . As I remembered that the basic one was to tell a DC they were fake/ dreaming/ in a dream, a hefty latino woman came into view on a path that wound its way through the forest. I ran up to her, intent on telling her she was dreaming, but she began to undress.

"Uhm... Anyway, did you know that you're in a dream!"
"Oh shut up!" she grinned, removing more clothes.
"No really, you're a figment of my imagination!"

Still grinning, she ignored me and embraced me, now without pants on. She wasn't beautiful by any means, so I was a bit hesitant.

Luckily, my girlfriend bumped me awake as she turned on her side, and I woke up, totally euphoric, and wrote it all down.


WOOO! SO AMAZING!

This kid was narrating. He was saying stuff like, "Lived in them my whole life, we were constantly moving, we followed other ranchers (I'm pretty sure that's the word he used) on the road. We didn't go to school but our families taught us. I never did know how to drive a truck. "
Basically, it's like these many families that travel around together in these RV/truck/some sort of hauler. So while this kid is narrating you see the trucks heading down some country roads, and then after the kid is finished talking you see that the trucks are going up some steep hills. At first they're not too steep, but then they're straight up and down. I was getting a view from the front window. I forgot to mention that each RV is carrying hay on top of it. Like, a ridiculous amount. Enough to tip it over.
So they get to the top of the first few hills, but then they get to a long one. There's a white fence to the left, up the entire road, and there's a field behind it. On the right is a giant cliff, and at the top is where we would be staying for that month or whatever, our homes. There's a husband and wife in the front of the RV, and they were kinda like country hicks. The wife says something like, "One of these days it's gonna tip over!" and then it does. It stops, and then starts sliding backwards and tipping. We all jump out of the sudden, magically open doors right beside us, and are met with a horrific sight. All the trucks in front of us are all tipping. There are people everywhere and I got the feeling that our truck tipping had made the others tip, like the dynamos effect( I know it doesn't make sense, but it's a dream).
And then you find out that some of the trucks were in the camp when they started tipping. I am suddenly bodiless and am instantly in a good spot over the cliff to watch the trucks fly over, throwing over the wreckage of everything in their path. I distinctly remember chickens flying everywhere as their coop was crushed.
Then I get an ariel view of the camp. It is a perfect circle, and all of a sudden there is a fence that encircles the entire thing. There are people outside banging on it and yelling to be let in, but nobody is letting them in to where the limited food and water is, and I think something like, " Human nature. " because we turned on each other as soon as we realized there were limited resources.
Anyways, this is where it turned into something like a game. The actual houses and skyscraper building were right outside the fence, but all the resources were inside the fence. The silver fence went extremely high up, I don't know how to describe it, and there were black ropes all hanging off of the top of it (We were completely trapped, although I didn't think of it at the time. Even if we climbed to the very top we couldn't get out because the fence went across the top too, and that's where the ropes where all hanging off of.
The ropes were of varying lengths, although I think most of them went all the way down to the floor. So suddenly I'm in the air, and I get a picture of what I want to do to ensure that my food and resources stay safe. A nest of some sort, with knots and stuff. I could make a little ball in the center that I could stay in with my stuff. I didn't occur to me that I wouldn't be able to get out.
So the first thing I do is tie two ropes together, and for some reason they make a completely flat surface for me to sit on. I decide to ambush a lady and her husband.
They've somehow already got a little floating house type thing set up, and all of their resources are there. I swing in on a rope I had grabbed, Tarzan style. They start screaming at me and whacking me with stuff, and trying to grab my rope so thy could pull me in. But I grabbed the stuff I wanted and then swung around again, trying to gain momentum to swing back up to my meek little home. Suddenly there's a time limit on how long I can be out stealing stuff, and I only have like five seconds left. I desperately try to swing up there, and I'm so close, but the wife grabs my tail or something and I lose all of my momentum or something, and a loud voice (possibly over an intercom) informs me that I now owe something to the people I had been raiding (He actually said like, two waters and a mango or something like that).
Also, I forgot to say that I was some kind of animal with a tail in these games.
So I swing back up to my home and deposit what I stole, which somehow stays balanced. I then realize that I want to improve my home, so I steal some ropes and make it a little better. It looks like some kind of bird's best, or maybe a wasp's nest.
Then somebody's attacking me! They grab onto the outside of my nest and easily pull away one of the ropes, which they swing back to their house on. I decide that I should use some knots so I'm safer. I tie some knots, and make my nest a little more secure. Then I get revenge on whoever it was that stole from me. They actually live right next to me, so it isn't hard to get to them. They're talking on a phone, and a grab it out've they're hands, and then intercom voice is there again. He says that I must give her two leopard pelts because you have to let the person talk on the phone for at least ten minutes before stealing it. Then she says that she was only on the phone for like, three seconds.
I'm all mad because how the heck do I find two leopard pelts they're really rare and if I don't find them within a week I'll be kicked out of the games (My neighbor also reminded me of my other fees).
I'm sitting moping in my nest when all of a sudden a leopard (Yes, the animals are intelligent in this dream) swings in through a small hole in my nest on my left side. She is also carrying a leopard pelt. She realizes that this is a bad idea because she doesn't have room to move and I'm grabbing at her. She swings back in twice more, while desperately trying to push off in a different direction, and I grab onto her tail. I hold on, but she slips out and I just just lay there despondently because I'm sure I won't be able to find everything in time. That was when I woke up.

Sleep from 3am - 10am

I go to my mom's work to give her something. I was going to stay but realize i'm just going to be board for several hours and have my dad take me home. She works was for a law firm, but she was only one of the three people working there and the place was tiny and attached to a few little stores. Largish open area for the main office and one little sectioned off area for the boss.

Dream starts just before the zombies start coming. There are a really bizarre weather phenomenons - flash floods, tornadoes, wildfires, etc. I'm at some sort of yoga retreat. there is a male instructor and several people lined up along with me. we are all lying in our own little dugouts in the ground. we are in the middle of a forest with natural hot springs in the ground beneath us. At one point I turned the water on because I was cold and I missed a few words the instructor said (it filled my dugout like a bathtub). So did the person next to me. I apologize. I had tossed my clothes off to the side - kind of in the woods - back the way we came here? There were fires going on around the word. They caught some trees near us. I freaked and ran to get my cloths. They were just past some trees that were on fire. We were trying to decide what to do. We knew something bad was coming. A zombie wandered into our camp and someone mashed its brains in. I was asking if my grandmothers place ran on propane. Probably not - most houses switched over. there were little teepees a little in the woods. I almost thought we could stay there but then saw they were miniatures. we would never fit. There was a house a little ways into the woods that we wound up staying at. || A young guy comes to his home. His mother is ecstatic - 'you're alive, he's alive.'. the father gives him an axe to the head. They had never been close... The father figured he had to have been bitten. When he (the son) died he came back almost immediately all gray like. He was put down. Someone had a business card for Buffy. || Older family member - grandfather? - has a bald head from chemo. All this fighting to extend his life and now he dies anyway. He did get to spend a little more time with his loved ones though.

This set of non lucid dreams were after a natural and brief WBTB with no supplements. I went for the MILD technique but never got lucid. My recall was pretty good considering that I never made notes in my DJ until after I woke for the morning. I used my old technique of just remembering key words and phrases to jog my memory later. I have had considerable trouble with that since I came back last summer and I'm pretty pleased with myself for getting back into my old technique. It makes those micro awakenings less troublesome with a greater chance of DEILD.

Spaceship.

Someone was going to destroy the earth. I left with a group and we were going to destroy the enemy's ship as they left earth but it turned out that they blew themselves up. Capitan Picard ordered me to activate the radiation bomb anyway just to be sure. There was a blue radius blast with our ship in the center.

Then I look at the Capitan and see he is having a heart attack. I assume there is nothing I can do and just watch him die. I notice that he dropped some playing cards that looks like they are made of thick plastic, much like Rummikub pieces. I pick them all up and see the ace of spades. I keep that one separate to hold for good luck. When I turn to leave I see some woman moving hologram images. It looks like a tournament tier for some kind of anime style fighting game. The woman asks if I want to see who wins but I decline and leave.

I enter a forcefield room outside of the ship. I have some conversation with another woman working at a computer terminal in a jumpsuit. We decide its time to leave.

I go into a glass room with other men an women. We all take out our brains and put them in acrylic containers full of some clear liquid. We have to do this in order to survive warp speed into hyperspace. I relax and close my eyes. I feel myself surge forward and then open then and we all put our brains back in. I look to the person to my right and jokingly say, "Oh no we switched brains. You're in my body." The man looks just like me and starts to panic. I tell him I am just joking and laugh.


Tornado

I am in the back yard thinking about digging a swimming pool by hand. There is a good start already and some strange ceramic pools stacked up. I think about how far to dig and remember some advice my father-in-law gave me.

Then I look up and see dark storm clouds. I watch some rotation start and I hear a neighbor shout, "ROTATION!" I watch it vividly and quickly form into a full tornado and join a giant separate tornado. I stare in fascination but remember the last tornado Joplin had and decide to hide.

When I turn around I realize I am in the trailer we lived in when I was 5. I know I don't have a chance but don't know where else to go. I run around and decide to hide in the bathroom. After a few seconds everything seems calm but I am panting and breathing hard with fear. I go back outside and only see dark storm clouds without a tornado. I wake up panting.


Funeral

I am in some place with a group of people. Most of them are black. Some famous person died and Will Smith is saying some words about him. Then we get to see a brand new music video by Will Smith in the mans honor. It sounds really hip hop style but the video makes no sense. I see some drunk celebrities on the floor looking really confused. (I can't remember who they were supposed to be) I see myself with them. I am the only one to laugh out loud at that point. I look around and say, "I remember that."

Total sleep time: 5 hrs

Pre bed: 3 mg mel

WBTB1 natural: 2x peppermint oil tablets

WBTB2 alarm: 1/2 cup of green tea + analytical thoughts + noise = insomnia

Vividness: Extreme

Dream1: Me and my parents are in a hotel, I have just had some supplements and am preparing for sleep. I look at a graph with bar that shows progress towards lucidity that depends on the amount of menthol I took. The status bar is not completely full, about 70 percent to lucid, so I am contemplating whether I should take another tablet or just risk falling asleep and see what happens. I ask my mom if she plans to take a shower now, so that I can shower before her and go to bed. She is watching/listening to something and has three sets of headphones, two of which I identify as mine, and get a bit upset to see she has left a very realistically looking earwax on one of them.
mood: task oriented - become lucid

Fragment2: The toilet seat in grandma's place, and a big mess of poo. Will give no further descriptions, although I remember it in quite a detail. ( Sorry, this was very vivid so had to mention it,lol!)
mood: wondering

Fragment3: I am in a bus, and I am observing and being told the story of a man and a woman. They were supposed to meet here at that bus, be together, but one of them changes something, and the other one gets off the bus before this happens. I am thinking perhaps another time.
mood: interested, positive

Comments: Oh, well, went a bit over the edge here, but at least I stuck to my plan to do a WBTB. Lol!

Saturday, 5/11/13

Yesterday, I had a huge revelation. I realized, that what I have been suspecting for a long time, is true.

Dreams, lucid dreams and astral projections are all happening in the same "place". Astral plane. The only difference is the level of awareness and way of entering.

Astral plane is not a place pre se, it's a mental state, level of awareness and focus.

This explains some of my WILD experiences. The 'snapping back' to my body, the feel that I'm on bungy cord, being pulled back, before having chance to get some distance from my body. The feeling of me being in my real room.

The images and sounds during transition.

5-11-2013
Again snowboarding crept its way into my dreams. Was first in the dorms at sdsmt, but the campus and housing were entirely foreign (now to cloudy to actually remember layout). Remember looking specifically at my underarmour leggins i had on while boarding down a hill. Snowboards were made of ice, but at the same time dragons (tough to explain but i understand what i mea). After snowboarding me and cody (My oldest little brother is in my dreams like literally every night) went down to an ampitheatre type place to play softball (???). Woke up as i was changing my shirt to go play since i was wet from snowboarding.

So there's some sort of membership you need at this one pool to be able to swim in it, and it involves filling out a lot of papers before you're eligible to get in. My friend really wants me to be able to swim with her there, so she is really getting on me about filling out the papers. We're at the side of the pool, and the papers are I think around 2/3 the way done, when I see Gabriel from Supernatural lounging on a pool chair. I don't remember if I just go over to him or he calls me over, but he asks me if I really want the pool membership, then gives me a tiny golden box of golden matches, that sort of sparkle. I walk back over to the papers spread out by the pool. I'm pretty sure I know what he wants me to do, but if it doesn't work, then I'll have to start all over again with the papers. I decide to go ahead and do it. I light a match, intending to burn the papers, while my friend protests beside me. However, the match goes out before it gets to the papers, because I am so hesitant. To my dismay, all the other matches in the box have burned too! However, the match that I'm holding is still smoldering, and I press it to the paper, and it catches fire.

It takes a while, but I manage to spread that paper to all the other papers until they're all ashes. My friend is very upset, and I'm waiting anxiously to see if it really worked and I'll have a membership now. There is a screen over the pool, that goes fullscreen in my eyes and a bunch of options popped up, because apparently the membership for the pool isn't swimming in it at all, but using this thing. The options say things like, "earth", "sea", "constellations", and other things. Apparently the program is kind of like google earth, except that it applies to the sea and space, too - but only to places humans have already seen.

Later (I might have clicked "sea"?) I see a few mermaids in this cove, and it looks like a 2D sidescroller, and I can only see the walls of the cove like barriers, and everything behind them is like a blue sea backdrop. Gabriel is one of the mermaids, and he's trying to lead the others out of the cave, but he keeps getting pestered by this other mermaid that has a different type of tail than the rest, and it's dark and split in two, and has no scales like she's more related to a hagfish than a fish, except that she has long, wavy fins.

Later, I'm at a cabin in the woods, and somebody pulls up with their car. They get out, and I see peeking up from behind the car two komodo dragons. I say something like, "aw, you startled two komodo dragons!" And the guy says something like, "aren't those dangerous," and say yes, but that they shouldn't attack. They do. I tell him they can't climb trees and so I climb a tree and he follows, but apparently they /can/ climb trees. One bites me, but it doesn't break the skin, so I'm fine. We climb higher and higher and I think at some point I kick the komodo dragons off the tree. We keep climbing, though, and as we get higher, we encounter animals that are more and more dangerous. Each time I deftly push them off the tree - even a gorilla. We get to the highest part and their is a big cat, like a jaguar or a cougar, on a branch above our heads, and it'll strike at any moment. At some point I lose the guy I was with, and the cat comes for me. However, I convince it that we should eat candy instead of eat me.

A bear comes over at some point and we all sit on a bed in the middle of the forest, next to a claw game that has candy in it. We have a bunch of bags on the bed and the floor full of candy and some other human foods.

At some point before all this, I need to fight demons (or ghosts?)(I might have been The Batter from Off), so a guy is showing me where they are and how to fight them (I think it might have been Shadwell from Good Omens, or at least inspired by him). We do one thing that is supposed to attract demons but doesn't work, and I don't remember what it is. The next time, we are all on a carousel with the type of basket that has a cage all around it. Shadwell says we need to rock our basket as hard as we can. We do that, and no demons come, but as the carousel goes faster and faster, everything suddenly stops, and I'm told by Shadwell that at that point, our basket flies off from the carousel, apparently because of the extra weight added by the hulk that was apparently in the basket the whole time.

Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

Lucid #93: Rolling

I'm in an old-school first-person shooter video game. It's some sort of very metallic, clean-looking sci-fi setting, maybe a spaceship or some kind of alien base on a distant planet. I've got a numeric health meter in the lower-right of my view, ranging from 0 to 100. I don't seem to have any kind of weapon, but I'm speeding around the level, dodging enemy fire from generic-looking storm trooper-style enemies.

At some point, a laser beam starts waving wildly around the room in front of me. I'm not sure what it does so I try not to touch it. I slip up at some point, though, and the laser grazes my leg. My health instantly drops from 100 to 7. This seems unfair and really upsets me. I feel like I'd been doing well and have been punished way too severely for this minor slip.

I perform a diving roll to dodge the beam and I notice that I'm actually experiencing the sensation but that it feels different from waking life. I realize that I'm dreaming and the scene suddenly looks less like a space ship and more like a dimly-lit room with hardwood flooring. It feels a bit dark and unstable, so I perform another diving roll since that seems to be something I've got down. This goes well, so I immediately do another one.

I realize that I'm having a really good time doing these so I keep at it. I figure that I'll just keep dive-rolling until I figure out what it is that I want to do with this LD. I remember that I wanted to try NewArtemis and/or Xanous out on their werewolf transformations, but I'm having a little trouble remembering what specifically I needed them to do. I stop rolling after 5 or 6 tries to give myself a chance to think.

I'm in some kind of long, dark hallway with hardwood flooring and occasional doors leading off adjoining rooms. The scene feels very empty and I'm worried that I'm understimulated, so I go back to dive-rolling for a while. I do this for quite a while, probably another 20 rolls or so. I then decide that I should reverse directions, so I attempt a back flip. This isn't something I've actually tried in waking life, so I'm curious how I'll do. I go right over but land on my shins rather than on my feet. Still, not half-bad!

I perform a couple of other back flips, and on about the 4th attempt, land proudly on my feet. I'm in a bedroom now with a window that's letting in some morning sunlight. There's a man of about 25 sitting on a bed, his head in his hands. He looks up at me and I see that he has a goatee, a nose ring, a lip ring, and at least one earring. He sees me and tries to say something, but I'm being pulled in the opposite direction and can't hear what he's trying to say. He stands up and walks toward where I am, but I'm drifting away faster. He tries to shout something, but I don't hear any of it, and I wake up.

i woke up in my bed really tired and after a while i went back to sleep while attempting w WILD i went through the hypnagogic state and fit felt like i was gonna succed but then i awakened once again in my room but this time i was so tired that my vision was all fucked up and blurry. for some reason i came to look at my hands and att first i couldnt even see them but as i focused they became clearer and clearer. this made me think hey what if this is a dream? and i did some reality checks and turns out i was dreaming. so i preceded to fly around a bit in kmy house and then I flew out of my balcony, but my balcony looked entirly different. as i flew i began to contemplate on how i should use this lucid dream, what i should do next. but the more i thought the more blurry the world around me became, to the point where i felt the dream was fading away and then i suddenly awoke once again my room, by the sound of my parents coming home. But since my parents had just left and werent gonna come home for a long while i thought that it might be a false awakening. I entered the bathroomstill not sure if it was a dream and i looked in the mirror. The clothes i was wearing in the mirror did not match what i was really wearing so it had to be a dream. i tried to enter the mirror but it didnt work it was still solid. disapointed i run to my living room, and fly outside where i atempt to punch the wall of my house to see how strong i am and found that my punches where supernaturally strong but not as strong as i would like. once again i began to think about what i am going to do next and once again the dream begins to fade away. I wake up in my room again and my parents are home. i preform a reality check and im still dreaming. i go to the living room where i find my friend. I tell him that i can fly. He says he knows and that he can do it io. I ask him why he doesnt and he says he is afraid of heights. i fly out to explore the surroundings, the immediate surrounding area is the same but after flying just a little while i find myself in some form of village or very small town. the climate is really hot and it seems like the village is in the desert. I get the feeling that there is something mysterious about this place. There is a house where a bunch of female mechanics are working on a car. i walk up to them and try to talk to them but they dont answer me. i see an old man in the corner drinking cofee, i go up to him and asks him who he is, what is this place and shit like that but he only answers in riddles that make no sense at all. Once again i begin to think about where i should go next and the same thing happens, i once again wake up in my room, i preform a reality check and its still a dream. i Fly the same way and the village is still there exactly how i left it. i explore a bit, then comes the thinking and i fynd myself back in my bed. This keeps happening over and over again for about 10 false awakenings, i explore a bit but wheenever i start to think to hard i ''respawn'' in my bed. after the last false awakening i find myself in the village outside the mechanics place. to the right there is a big phone booth and there is a woman and she is calling for me. At this point im starting to trip on the fact that i keep experiencing these false awakenings, it feels like im trapped in this dream, this unending cycle. as i walk up to to the woman i see that apart from the phone there is also a machine for buying train tickets. on the machine it says Alo katavana on one side and the name of my home town on the other, and there is a big button that says Escape. I press the escape button and i wake up in my bed but for real this time

Even though I thought I might dream of COOP documentation because of training I took, and I did dream of it, I still did not become lucid. Bummer.

The previous night I dreamed of cheering because of baseball game we watched in real life, and again I had told myself to watch out for baseball game in dreams, but I did not become lucid despite predicted dream elements.

In this dream unlike in real life I had a cat, and so did my neighbor (not a real neighbor). He and I were talking across the hedge (don't have a hedge in real life), and he was telling me how when I am at work, my cat likes to hang out with him and his cat. It was not explained why he is not working and has time to hang out with cats all day, despite the fact that he was middle aged and quite healthy and well off looking.

Even though cats are a dream sign lately, I did not get lucid.

A whole bunch of cars were stopped unattended in like a large crowd of cars. People were nearby but engaged in conversation with police or others. I had to get to the other side. I was on foot. There was an unattended police car in my way, so as a shortcut I opened the door, went through police car to the other side. When I had gotten to the other side, I realized that I had forgotten to shut the car door that I had come in through, leaving evidence that I had been there. I hesitated whether I should get back into the car to close the door, but I did not dare go through the car a second time. I saw the police officer engaged in conversation with someone out front, and I wondered whether I should go up and admit my crime and explain why the door is open, but I decided better not.

Why I had this dream: last evening when we arrived home in our van, me and my boys, I had too much stuff, so I carried some in, and the boys went inside, but then I came back, and noticed the car door had been left open. A neighbor whom I do not know had just parked nearby, and noticed, and she told me that the other night around 10 or 11pm, she noticed that we had left our car door open. She tried to knock on our house door, but nobody answered. So she closed our car door for us. I thanked her.
