I WILDed into my dorm room, as I almost always do. The dream seemed very unstable from the get-go, so I decided to wait it out before I tried anything major. I first walked around a bit, touching everything, reminding myself that it was a dream. I then got the weird idea to walk up the wall. Yeah, it was weird, but I figured, why not? I walked up to the door, put my foot on it, and then pulled my other foot up. I was now standing on the door, and my body was now parallel to the floor.


This cat's reaction is also similar to my own.

Well this is unique. I walked around beside the door to open it, and then fell through the hole/doorway. I landed on the wall in the hall, but then walked back down onto the floor, since I was beginning to get dizzy.

I flew to the end of the hall, opened the door, and made my way down the stairs to the outside. I walked over to a tree by the road and looked up at the many oranges on it. I reached up, pulled one down, and proceeded to stare at it for a while. It suddenly reminded me that I wanted to do the Task of the Month. I looked around for a pumpkin, and found a big display of hay bales and pumpkins for some fall festival (how incredibly convenient). I grabbed one from the ground, but it felt really mushy. Well, I can just peel this one apart, I guess. I pulled apart the pumpkin, only to find that the inside was much like the inside of an orange.


Wut.

So there I was, holding basically a giant orange. I was curious, so I took a large bite of it, and sure enough, it tasted just like an orange. It tasted decent, but I quickly grew tired of it. I tried to remember whether the task was to open a pumpkin, or to smash a pumpkin. Eh, wouldn't hurt just to be safe. I picked up another pumpkin, which felt much more like a normal pumpkin should. I took it over to the sidewalk and


Sorry, couldn't resist.

It burst open, and about 50 small coins, mostly dimes and pennies, spilled out onto the ground. Hmm, not too bad, I guess. But I enjoyed smashing these pumpkins, so I picked up another one. I could feel and hear something rattling inside, so I wasn't surprised when I threw it on the ground and more coins came out. I repeated this cycle several times. I felt like Link smashing pots or something.


Thankfully, no awkward dress/skirt thing in my dream.

When I finally grew tired of this, I began to walk off and try to think of another TOTM, but I quickly woke up.

1. I was outside next to a school and there were portables all around me. I was standing on a big wooden platform along with alot of other, what I'm assuming to be, students. I looked more closely in the group of students and saw the girl I liked from school. I didn't notice it at the time but she looked a bit different in this dream. She still had the same face and everything but now she was at least 3 times her actual weight in real life. This bothered me a little bit, but then again not really so much at all because she has an amazing personality.
In my right hand I noticed that I was holding my penny board, and it looked the exact same as from real life. It still had a peach colored deck, cyan wheels, cyan hangers, and purple at the base of each truck. I put my board on the ground and rode it over to Naomi, the girl I like. As I did so I noticed how rough of a ride it was towards her. I was riding on small wooden planks that had a small space between each of them, so nothing was smooth. When I got over to her I started the typical conversation of "Whats up? I haven't seen you in a while." Then we started talking for a few minutes and I suddenly saw my friend Dylan on the side. I told her I would see her later and I rode over to Dylan.
As I did so my board almost went of the edge of the wooden platform because my wheels got stuck in the crevices between each of the planks and got stuck. Anyways, as I got over to Dylan we talked. I noticed a few mexican dudes relatively close to us, and they seemed suspicious. We were standing on the wooden ramp that was connected to a portable. Suddenly I dropped my phone and it fell right under the ramp. I thought it would be impossible to get because of the weight of the ramp itself. I then picked up the entire ramp and pushed it a foo away from the portable. I didn't know this was possible considering that the ramp weighed easily 300 pounds, and I thought myself to be strong.
As I got my phone back, my friend Dylan went into the portable. I remember going inside with him and talking to some other people there.

2. I was inside of my house and it was really dark. Almost all of the lights in the house were off. I had just entered in through the back door with my family. As I was walking over into my living room I heard noises coming from under the couch. I got closer to my couch to see what was up. Suddenly an old friend of mine from school crawled out from underneath of my couch. My parents came into the living room at the sight of this. I then talked to my friend, whose name is Jordan. "Dude what are you doing under my couch?" I asked. "Dude I'm just trying to make a living" he replied. I then asked him, "By doing what?". "By sucking dick dude" he answered in an all serious manner. "Dude you must be sucking dick really frequently in order to be making a living off of that" I told him. "Well I do, and I enjoy it" he said.
I was pretty shocked by this entire conversation because Jordan is the complete opposite of gay. In this dream he also looked alot skinnier than usual too.

3. I was in some sort of small building that looked really technologically advanced. My friend Dylan was standing next to me. In front of me I saw two Jet Bikes(The floating bikes that are in Star Wars) just sitting in some sort of locked rack. On this rack there was a lock screen with a pass code entry on it. The screen was a neon pastel green. I went up to the screen to try and find a way to unlock it, but I couldn't find a way. Then my friend Dylan came through and gave me a card with which I swiped it on the side of the lock screen and it opened. As I unlocked the bike the pass code screen turned blue.
However, the lock screen for the other bike to the left of the one I was going to get on was still green, so Dylan couldn't come. As I got on the bike I saw to my right a woman and her baby. The woman had long brown hair and was holding her baby. It looked as though she was waiting for a bike or some kind of ride. I got on the bike, and as I did I went into third person. I noticed that I was wearing some kind of high tech suit that was somewhere in the middle of a space suit and something a soldier would wear in warfare. It looked really cool.
Now on my bike and ready I zoomed out of the small building. The bike was fast, super fast. I found myself now outside of the building and speeding through a vast desert field with immense velocity. I looked to my left and saw a huge sphere the height of half of a skyscraper, and it was white. This sphere was shooting huge beams of light, which I'm guessing were lasers, into the air. It was doing this constantly, and I figured it to be hostile. My gut feeling told me that this sphere was shooting friendly space ships in the air, so I decided to take it out.
I sped over to the sphere and stopped maybe 100 yards away from it to prevent from risking death. I started shooting the sphere with the guns mounted on the side of my bike(which shot just like they do in the Star Wars movie lol) and didn't stop. Suddenly I saw droids come out from the sides and start running towards me. At this point I decided to continuously circle the sphere because I knew the droids were too slow to keep up with the bike while it was moving, and I could also dodge all of their shots this way.
"This is going to be easy" I thought. I was wrong. Out of no where a group of 10 MASSIVE robots came out from behind the sphere. They were as tall as the sphere itself and had a red cyclops eye. I figured that I didn't need to worry because they were probably as fast as the droids themselves. I was wrong again. These huge robots were as fast as my bike. I turned around in an instant and started speeding away. As I did so I noticed that the robots were getting closer and closer to me. The entire group was alot faster than I was.
Looking on bike panel, I tried to find some source that would increase my speed. I found a nitrous button, and I pushed it. Suddenly my bike increased its speed by what felt like 5 times over. I was going extremely fast. However my nitrous was only limited, so I used it in bursts. This created some distance between me and the robots. Soon though I ran out of nitrous, so I returned back to normal speed. I thought I was done for, but then I noticed a bar on the side of my bike that showed my nitrous regenerating.
Once it regenerated I blasted off and went far away from the robots. After riding for a little bit I found myself coming up on an old building. Once I got to it I stopped my bike and got off. The building looked as though it was from a few centuries ago and it was falling apart. Sections of walls were missing and many windows were broken. The building itself looked to be made out of a deep red brick. It was also covered in small amounts of green moss. I looked up to the second story out of at least 5 or 6 stories and noticed there was a partially transparent floating white coin.
I wanted to get up to the second floor and retrieve whatever this was, so I went inside of the building. Once I got inside I noticed that the building was almost completely empty and the entire floor of this place was made out of plain concrete. It was really dirty inside as well. I looked around for a staircase or a ladder so I could go up to the next floor, but there were none in sight. I then decided to get out my grappling hook and try to get up to the next floor that way instead. I went up to one of the "still in contact walls" and shot my grappling hook up at one of the thick window seals. I didn't catch on. I shot it up further, and it still didn't catch on.
I did this multiple times and each time my hook wouldn't catch. I stopped and began thinking of another way that I could get up. Suddenly an old man with medium length white hair came in. He was wearing what looked to be an old western style vest. "Your lucky I just got off break, I won't be here for long. I can help you out with your grappling hook." he told me. "Thanks I really appreciate it" I replied. Behind the old man came a man that was alot younger. He had shorter brown hair and was wearing a similar attire.
The two men came over to the wall I was at, and they got out their own grappling hooks. Then they shot it up and the window seal and somehow got it to stay. Suddenly the entire building turned into some kind of indoor arcade with blue walls. Everything was now fixed and nothing looked old or broken. Behind me I saw the entire arcade, and it was filled with many kids and teenagers of all ages. I saw a blue wall in front of me and decided that I wanted to climb it and get on top of it. As I went up and started climbing, I found myself unable to climb. Whenever I would grab onto the wall, my hands would lose grip and slip.
The idea all of a sudden popped into my head to place pictures on the wall for grip(wow what a great idea). I then used my hands to spawn pictures on the wall, it was like magic. I put pictures all over the wall and once I did I started climbing. I noticed that, oddly enough, all of the pictures I had placed on the wall were of beautiful women(Yes they were wearing clothes too). Some of the pictures were like a portrait and others were an entire body pic, with either the woman wearing a bikini or clothes. No matter what, each picture had a woman in it, and they were all stunning. The way I would climb the wall was by grabbing the edge of each picture frame and climbing up. It was pretty simple and in no time I was at the top of the wall.
Once I got to the top I stood up and looked around. It was still very crowded and no one seemed to be paying attention to me climbing the wall and now being on top of it. I figured out that whatever I was on was a complete structure, not just a plain wall. I walked around and climbed over some more stuff. I noticed that once I got more in the middle of this structure, the tighter everything became and the taller the walls on top of this structure were. It was odd, walls being on top of a structure like this( I know, really confusing).
Suddenly I saw many clear plastic walls emerge from the top of the walls on top of the structure I was already on. This made the walls even taller and I knew that if I stayed any longer, all of the walls would get taller and I would not be able to get out. I then got a running start and jumped back over the walls I had came from before. I made my way out of the tight walls and then climbed back down off of the structure itself. Once I got down I wandered around the arcade. It was pretty dark and there were colored lights shining across the arcade and on the ground.
I saw my sister playing a game where she had to ride a motorcycle and race. I went up to her and got on the motorcycle to the right of her and started playing. We talked and enjoyed the game. To the left of my sister I saw a girl from my cooking class in school, Sophia. She was jaw-dropping gorgeous, and as I had noticed in real life, looked very similar to Naomi. At the moment I had "forgot" what grade she was in, so I started talking to her. "Hey you're a sophomore right?" I asked her. "No, I'm a senior." she giggled. We continued to talk for another minute or so and I later told her that she looked really pretty, and she thanked me. I said more after this but I don't remember what it was.

4. I was inside of some kind of bakery. It seemed really familiar, like I had been there sometime before. I saw a red rack out in the open that held alot of mocha frappe chino's of two different flavors. One flavor had a dark brown color to it, and the other had a light brown color to it. I knew that if you wanted a mocha all you had to do was take it and get in the line and pay for it. I noticed that every single mocha frappe chino was only half full, and I wondered why. I picked one up anyway, specifically the darker one and got into the line.
While I stood in line I looked at the bakery food. I saw cookies and many other things, but the cookies stood out to me the most. The person in front of me ordered the cookies that I wanted, so I knew that they had to be good. Once I got up to the lady who took the orders, I told her that I wanted two slices of the cookie cake that I had been keeping my eye on, and also the frappechino that I had picked up earlier. As she got my cookie slices I noticed that each cookie slice had a red jelly in the middle of it.
I didn't remember seeing the jelly there before, and I don't like jelly, but I decided to try it out anyway. Not all of the cookies had the jelly either, only the slices that the lady gave me. I paid for my stuff and then left the line. While doing so I saw my friend Andrew from school. I went over and talked to him. He saw my frappe and said that it looked good so I let him try it. He said it tasted really good, so I told him to go get him one from the rack. I then tasted my frappe as well and to be honest, it tasted like crap. It didn't even taste like a frappe.
I was really disappointed. After tasting it I remember getting rid of it, but I don't know how. Ahead of me there were two doors. I went up to them and opened them and on the other side I saw some sort of indoor fun place, like what you find in McDonalds or specific BurgerKing's. Inside, I saw my friend Dylan and next to him was a small mexican kid. I walked in and went over to them. The kid, who looked around 12 or 13 years old, wanted to play.
I remember going to sit down in a seat not far from where we were standing, and out of no where the kid came over to me and started chunking balls at my face. The balls were hard too. As he would throw the balls I would see two numbers. After he finished throwing balls at me I picked one up and looked at the side of it. I then learned that those two numbers represented the speed that the ball was going in mid air. I noticed that each ball the kid threw at me would usually go around 7 to 12 miles per hour.
I then got up and saw Dylan talking to some dude our age in a baseball outfit. I then knew him to be one of Dylan's friends who was a pro at the sport. I went over and talked to him. We then wandered around the fun place while talking. I remember going to go play a baseball throwing game and as I was going the baseball guy got in front of me and played it first. The game was pretty odd. You had to sit down in a red seat and pick up a baseball and throw it and a small target. The game would then analyze and tell you how fast you threw your ball and whoever threw the fastest ball won. The entire game machine was red too.

I'm taking a nap after getting home from camping. I'm exhausted and forget to set the alarm.

I see an empty camp site. It's long and fairly wide, with trees on the three sides I can see. Somehow it reminds me of the alarm I forgot to set and wakes me up.

I start awake.

The imagery in this dream is so strange and out of place that I don't know why I didn't turn lucid sooner. But when I did turn lucid, it was a short one.

The dream starts with me being a student again. I am looking at my new accomodation, which is a small bungalow in an area near to where I currently live. After looking indoors, I check the place out from outside. I notice a dark-haired, pale-skinned young woman who seems to be pissed off about something.

I go back indoors and the landlord shows up, who turns out to be one of the managers at my job. He is in my bed, doing some sewing (there is so much weird imagery in this dream, I don't know where to start unpicking it).

Then I am on the grounds of a wealthy estate, where they are holding a jumble sale. There are many stalls, it's almost like a marketplace. I go inside the manor house and see a middle-aged, blonde woman in business attire. She has hired a "watercolour artist" to paint bad poetry on the walls.

The dreams turns lucid when I find myself back home, going up the stairs. A female coworker seems to be hanging out on the top of the stairs. One the landing I seem something that seems to be cobbled together from various videogames I've played in my past: a crane from Unreal Tournament. When I go up the lift, there is a bad guy from GTA3, who I try to shoot down but fail.

I go down the lift, back to my landing. The coworker is still hanging out on the stairs, and I know that I am dreaming. I try to go down the stairs, but by this point I get the impression that the dream is fading, and I think I go back to sleep.

Non-dream Dream

It's been two years since recording my dreams so it will take a while to build up my recall again. Recall was very fragmented in this first attempt.

Dream 1: I am a slave and locked up in a room with my wife and DA. The only way to get out is to fill up some slots with either trading cards or dvds. I see a shelf full of unopened trading cards and I select a large pack of 1990 Hockey cards. I open them to reveal a bunch of random baseball cards.

Dream 2: My mom and dad ask me about my stress levels at work. I reply that I am only stressed out 2 times per year, each time lasting a week.

Dream 3: My wife and I are at a huge park with a very large swimming pool. There are hundreds of people sitting around the pool observing a shark - it is kind of like sea world. My wife has her feet in the water and I warn her that the shark is coming our way. She takes her feet out of the water. As the shark gets close to us it turns upside down and comes out of the water. We are frightened but embarrassed to run away. It is as if everyone knows the shark is harmless. We slowly back away and the shark continues to follow us on land. After a while the shark turns into some large cat (Cheetah?) and runs off.

Once again, I had a couple dreams. However, for the second one, this time I know that I was lucid. I will post these 2 dreams here.

1. I don't really remember much about this one. All I remember was that video game characters were involved. But still, might as well put this down.

2. After the last dream, again, youtube came up. And again, there were screamers involved. Not just one this time, but there were multiple involved. After the video was over, the replay button was clicked and I was like "NO! NO! NO! I'M DREAMING!" Then I saw a hallway type thing. It was very weird. The first thing I did was rub my hands together. However, I couldn't maintain lucidity, and I woke up.

I was in the living room talking to my brother. I got very mad because the microwave would not work and before I knew it I found my juice and food in the garbage. I knew there wasn't much so I get pissed off and began hitting a lot of things and breaking stuff. I then open the refrigerator and pulled out of my last beverage and told my brother I am out of here. I then proceeded in to the garage and open it then forcefully close it however the garage door did not slam. I quickly pick on it because most of my dreams do this to me. I once again open the door and made a second attempt to slam it which it made the door slam a bit louder but not exactly like waking life. I quickly look at the blue carpet and I begin to look at my hand and ask if I was dreaming? My fingers counted up as five and before my suspicions were about to die. This weird sound started gliding all over the garage and the place was beginning to get white as it seem to get farther away from me. The sound was similar to the vibrations I get when I using DA meditation. Luckily the dream quickly submerge me back in to it. I realize I am dreaming as I know it is impossible for some paint to make noise or move on it's own. The noise however was too loud so I got out of the garage and lost lucidity. Lucidity Time: 13 seconds

I'm standing outside at a city square across the street from the beach when I remember I'm dreaming. I remember my dare to destroy a coastal city with an army of dolphins. I put my hand behind my back and call for a dolphin. I feel it's beak first and let my hand slide across it's head as it's passing me before I grab it's dorsal fin and jump on it's back to ride it. "Destroy this city!" I say. I look around and see many dolphins swimming through the air, weaving in between the buildings. I feel that I've got this task under control so I just relax on my dolphin while it swims through the air along the beach while the other dolphins do their thing. All of a sudden, there is a scene change and I appear to be in a different coastal city. My dolphin is swimming really slow and seems tired so I figured that time skipped. I get off it and summon another one just like before. When I try to grab it's dorsal fin though it turns around and bites my arm. I manage to get on it and am pleased that it's more active than the tired one.I lose my lucidity before the dream ends.

Morning of October 11, 2014. Saturday.



This is a soothing dream at first. I am in an unknown location, seemingly inside the large room of a mansion. Sparkling dust motes “swim” in the air.

There is a rather odd setup. A very large and complex dollhouse, I believe of three storeys, is in one corner of the room, almost as if it is a part of the design of the house (and big enough for a person to go into). It has a sort of combined Grecian and Victorian appearance. Sunlight is coming in through large windows. On the roof of the dollhouse, in front, is a large complex clock. There are white monotone angel statues built into the clock. Their subtle wing movements somehow relate to the clock.

An unknown darker-haired younger girl appears. She says “elaborate”. In fact, that is all she does say, several times. No attempt at any form of communication results in anything but “elaborate”. She pronounces it as an adjective (not the verbal pronunciation). I think perhaps she is saying it to describe the environment. I am fairly sure she may live here somewhere. No actual communication ensues. It is rather amusing, probably more amusing than frustrating.

“What is your name?”

No response.

Long pause.

“Elaborate." (Over time, she says "elaborate” at least six times.)

The feathers on the wings of the angels on the clock seem to flutter at times, but that may be an optical illusion caused by subtle motion of the rays of sun. I think the wings themselves move up and down (over time) with the minute hand.

OK so it doesn't matter if my dreams are up to date anymore. I ma just going to be posting dreams and some of them will have happened the night before and some of them a while ago. Mostly only my Lucids will have happened a while ago because I've been too lazy to type them out.

Waking
Non-Lucid
Lucid

#1 - I'm A Super Detective
I am in my school, except it isn't the school I am currently attending, it was my elementary school. My dad texts me and tells me that I have to leave school and come eat lunch with him. I go to my next class which was some foreign language, I think Spanish. About five minutes into it, I went up to the teacher. I went to the guy teacher because I remembered that I had asked the girl teacher something similar before, and she didn't understand what I was asking. I told the guy, "I know I don't have a pass but can I leave? My dad told me to." The teacher shook his head and said no, but I can't remember the reason for it. I figured out then that he was evil in some way, though I can't remember that reason now. All I remember then is standing outside the front doors of the school and the teacher standing there yelling at me.

Then I was downtown. There had been a murder and I was a detective on the case. There was a bus over a grate heading down to the sewers and I said that we had to get that open. My theory was that the killer had everyone fall into those holes because at every scene there was an opening into the ground. We started opening it and everyone around started looking at us. Then I was at school again running up the hallway. It was slowly inclining towards a door, which was my Spanish class (I can't remember if that happened before or after the crime scene). I am then at a track meet. My Spanish teacher is there and we seem to have made amends. I see the Central team and I walk towards them. My old friend sees me and comes over. I tell him that I had gotten this one girls number, and he says that I have to stay away from her. "Why?" I asked. "First, because I'm going after her. And second, everybody fricking wants her." He replied. I thought this was a little weird because I thought he was currently dating someone but before I could ask he got called back over to his camp. (If I would've asked I probably would've become lucid.

I walk back over to the track and my coach is waiting. Right when the race is about to start, the killer shows up and takes away a girl. Then all of a sudden, I figure it out. My mind has flashbacks to all the crime scenes, even ones I hadn't visited in the dream (like in Psych). I then realized that each murder took place at a construction site, and that each person killed was a worker. Using this info we are able to stop the girl from being killed. I didn't understand why the killer took the girl, my best guess was that she was a worker's daughter.

#2 - Half-Dream in the Morning
I woke up and realized it was still early so I tried to go back to sleep. I was half asleep and I drifted off to a little dream. I was in my school's lunch room. Me and a few others were getting a drink out of a Gatorade container. It said it was Gatorade so we all took that instead of water. Some people got water from that container and were angry because the thing had lied. I got Gatorade though. Then a lady was there and said, water tastes weird after drinking a base liquid. I took the base liquid to mean Gatorade. (I had an even shorter mini dream before this one but I can't remember what it is.

00:00 Saturday 2014-10-11 LDs #69, #70, fake mountain viewing resort, childhood home, nice kiss

04:00 bedtime. YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME! (You see, I was getting ready for bed at 2am, already horribly late, wife insists I fix the clog in the bathroom sink NOW. Cleaning the pipes takes 10-15 minutes, putting them back together so they don't leak [much ] takes 1.5+ hours).

despite the drastically late bedtime, I had a number of dreams but because I moved too much most were lost except this one:

+(f) lord of the rings adventure?

+ (DO flying around) fake mountain viewing resort: there are sets for a scene from Lake Tahoe, volcanoes, etc., there's a church where they must change the wine once a week or it would freeze, jutting stone outcroppings are decorated with fake mist

Somewhere around 9:00 wife's alarm goes off. I'm getting back to sleep for a long time.
Countdown a bunch. It's HOT, put arm outside comforter to dissipate heat. Take off remee, I'm all sweaty underneath it and too hot, try to sleep without it, put it back on as I get drowsy after cooling off, and drift off into dream....

Let go, let go, dream come get me...

(somewhere between 9-11)

+ (lucid)
I'm lucid as the dream forms. I guess this means it's a WILD, don't care so much about the category. The image appears and solidifies. It's as if I'm standing in the closet of my childhood bedroom looking out to a a portion of my bedroom, I see one of the twin beds. It is as if the scene is partially in a black frame. I can't detach from where I am, feel a bit unstable, start rubbing hands and don't stop until I can enter. I call to my mother whom I "know" is just behind the area blocked by the blackness to come out and sit on the bed.

After enough hand rubbing I can detach from my starting point and enter the dream, there is a brief disorientation and them I'm walking out of my bedroom the dream is now "full screen", I enter the upstairs hallway, I reach the top of the stairs, turn, descend, I'm thinking a little bit that it's sort of weird just to walk around when you're lucid but I'm really enjoying it, I don't care, it's stable and solid. I reach the bottom of the stairs and enter the living room. There are many many objects, I'm amazed at the detail, it feel really waking-life. There are lots of small digital clocks with bright colors showing the time, I don't look at them but notice them shining in the dim light (green some of them). The lighting is dim but everything is clearly seen. The room is full of objects, unlike previous dreams where it's been empty or just a few things. I notice the old B&W TV on a stand near the entrance to the dining room, think it's interesting that I see the old TV. Walking further into the room I turn to my right and glance at the piano area, I see it is filled with discarded crumpled up Christmas wrapping paper. I want to do some lucid eating so I head for the kitchen, I'm in the dining room almost to the kitchen and think "no, do the TOTM non-waking instrument task." I turn around and head back to the living room, I open a buffet sliding door and pull open a drawer with the intention of finding a musical instrument that doesn't exist in waking life. The drawer is full of random small junk, no instrument. I then think to ask the "dream guides" for it, I hold out my arms as if carrying an invisible pile of firewood and say "give me an instrument that does not exist in waking life" but nothing appears. When I speak hear my voice as if distant but it's clear. I give up and go outside on the deck to admire the view. The view is amazing, I see all the way to The City and the sparking lights. Some lights are pure blue. Some lights are little square blobs on top of straight sticks and I recognize these as indicators from a space-sim game I've been playing a lot of (Oolite) and chuckle out loud as I recognize the residue and know where it's from. I reach the main corner of the deck and decide to fly up in to the air, I jump lightly and effortless reach up into the sky.

I'm twisting around and think I should go raiding neighbor homes for girls, but I find my flight movement control is broken, I try flapping once or twice but can't move at all, then the dream goes dark, I see only blackness. I try opening my eyes once or twice and think that I'm moving my waking eyes so I relax and stop moving.

+ (semi?) I'm thinking about PercyLucid's comments about kissing, I appear (on my parent's backyard lawn?) and bring a girl into my arms and smack a few times on a short but really erotic kiss. Possibly a daydream? If so it was really vivid, at least part actual dream I think.

+ (FA?) I'm in bed with hands rubbing, my hands are touching, I wake later with hands separate, this was probably FA.

+ (lucid)I'm lucid as an image appears of my childhood home kitchen, my view is as if I'm in the place of the stove looking at the counter/sink across from it. It also takes me a bit of effort to enter the dream, I have to "scoot" on my butt as if I'm sitting on a very large invisible bed in darkness a number of times to reach the edge and get so I get put my feet on the floor and enter the dream. I say to myself "I'd like to eat a waffle" and think about where to find one. Then I look to the right, through the door into the living room (the dining room seems not to be there) and I see it's messy with lots of bottles (wine bottles?) scattered all over the place, that must have been quite a party, , there's a sound, the dream ends, my wife is working at the table in our bedroom and is making some noise which woke me up, darn.

+ in current-day home in bedroom, whole family is in the room, I think I'm awake because my wife is talking about an errand I know she has to do in waking life today, she's talking about why she believes (an unpleasant situation we're in) is from hell.

In one of the lucids I hear some kind of announcer, it probably was my wife watching a video in the same room while I was still sleeping (argh).

...or at least that's what the dream and my behaviour claimed.

I remember sitting together (with people unknown to me) in a room that was rather bleak and normal, a weird exception to my dreams, where (as I noticed upon writing this) most of the few not-fancy rooms tend to be my fake bedrooms. We were talking about stuff, but I can't remember what. Eventually I realize I'm dreaming, doing the nose-pinch RC to fully confirm my suspicion. For some reason I tightly believe that I'm in someone elses dream, and thus I have less control than usual, and I'm not trying to act up either. The scene breaks as somehow the room is filled with water and I'm busy keeping someone above the water...

And here comes the odd part, I both remember waking up for real after the dream, and I remember it continuing in a way I can't quite chronologically put the waking up after. The rest of the night is a weird blur of things, not really typical for me and my usual direction and type of dreams.

And whether I was in someone elses dream... I don't think so. I mean, there were some very atypical things in there I could imagine coming from somenoe else rather than me, and I don't consider it impossible, but if I'd have to take I guess I'd still say it probably was just me being fooled by my dream mind.

Dream - Lucid

I was going to take my brother's friend, Tyler, home; he needed a ride. I really wanted it to go quickly so I could go home to the house I grew up in and smoke the little bit of weed I had left. I thought about my sobriety, but had previously already blown it, so what did it matter? I was planning on when to smoke it.

I then was on my way home. Someone was with me, but it wasn't Tyler. Crap. I then realized I had forgotten all about him.

I then was walking on the street and saw all these spider birds; they literally looked like different crosses between spiders and birds. They weren't all in the same area, but scattered about. I remember a black one with a spider's body and a bird's head. There were others, but I can't remember the details.

I then saw Tyler's dad. He was doing something with a dog and a cat, which were apparently his/his family's. I went to pet the dog, and it bit my arm. He scolded the dog for doing so. I wanted to pet the cat too, which was a cream-colored, short haired cat with greyish tips on its ears and tail, but I don't remember if I did or not.

There was something about a video game in here as well, some sort of quest/adventure game for the PC. You'd visit different places on the map. There was one that just got unlocked where you went and got $7000. I got it, and it was like I actually had $7000 in real life. I was thinking about how to tell Dallas and what we could do with the money.

*So this was a dream from a 3 hour nap, but of course felt long. As a background i'm a heavy napper, and dream extremely vividly the moment my head hits the pillow. I will start to dream as I doze off as well if i'm tired, or start hearing part of my dreams. I have no control over my dreams, I can never fly, or breathe under water. They are simply as real life is but much more interesting and include odd places and things that don't exist. I have no idea why. I am also extremely honest and social in dreams which is different from real life. My feelings don't get hurt as easily.*

I met a yellow male fairy, maybe about the size of a cat, I was told by my dad to get to know him. We were sleeping next to each other and my dad got so angry, but the fairy wasn’t human, and it wasn’t weird. I said “I knew he would get mad, he gets mad every time” and me and my dad got in a fight (me and my dad don’t really get along in real life)

Next flash. is I was ready to die, I was writing on my friends computer real fast saying “you did a good job, …. etc” it was a room with several computers and a desk near on the side from where I was sitting. If you walk the opposite way next to the desk you could leave the room. I decided not to kill myself after all, but I was going to congratulate her on being the last person I write too, but I decided not to. As I was waiting for her to see it she walked back into the room with black pearls around her neck and other such things because she became famous I guess. (this has to do with someone singing better than me in real life in a competition and that was her a few days ago)

Another flash. We were in this underground room, me and a friend I knew well, it seems like my childhood best friend but then again it didn’t. There were snakes coming out from everywhere. Out of the ceiling, out of the cracks the floors, and I was trying to avoid them. But I saw them such as you would in a movie, from one flash of a snake to the other. eventually I would jump around and swing around as much so I just let one bite me. They didn’t scare me, I just didn’t want to get bit.

Next flash. I was eating ice cubes from this icecube holder on this counter with this large room with two seperate groups of people, and stairs that go down the middle. from this large section of people. I looked at the ice cubes and they weren’t normal ice cubes, they were pretty like glass and they had a lemon seed in them and something else. I had eaten something that made my mouth burn, and I was trying to make it go away. I was spitting places such as the towel behind the picture frame hung up where the stair move down. I was hoping nobody saw me, but the last time I tried spitting in my dream since I did it more then once to get the taste to go away, I spit in real life and that’s what woke me up.

Next flash. My friend had my mini scissors that I haven’t been able to find and that I was looking for in real life today, I take them and she gets offended. I wasn’t mad but she said something along the lines of “well that flute was so expensive anyway so” and from that dream I remembered a false memory that was given to me in the dream of me giving her a flute she bought me back, I got a mental picture of it in my dream, and I had made a light hearted clever joke back to her comment about these fancy scissors I have in real life even though she was defensive.

Another flash. I was down by these booths and shops in the same place, there was this one with a lady that in my dream I remembered from before. I got there right as it was closing and she pulled down the metal to cover her booth right as I was about to look and buy something.

-I don’t really remember colors of walls or carpets.
-I don’t remember the people really. They were just details such as there is in real life.

These are only a few of the parts I remember. They all led into each other. I don’t remember the transitions or the other several places I went and things that happened besides these.

Quite a restless night attempting SSILD for the 4th night in a row. I recalled only 1 dream, the others vanished upon waking up because I felt exhausted by efforts to do SSILD over the past few days (insomnia keeps kicking in and keep me awake when I'm trying to fall asleep after a WBTB).

Dream 1 - The Dwarven Adventure
Note: I was unconvinced that I had even had this dream, since I believed I had been in my bed and just 'thinking' about the dream occurring - like I was still trying to drift off to sleep. I've never had an experience like this, in fact I've had a few oddities occur as a result of trying the SSILD technique.

I am with my close friend + flatmate M, he's on a skateboard and I'm on a tray-like trolley rolling along the ground. We're on a narrow pathway next to a road, there are the typical green trees of my NZ home-village scenery. We roll a long with him in the lead, he sucks at skateboarding and is trying to learn, he keeps trying to maintain his balance while moving slowly, he rolls downhill a bit and steadies himself. At some point the dream seems to have progressed again, I realize I am a Dwarf now and my friend has left somewhere, I'm still on my trolley thing rolling around. I'm confronted by a fellow Dwarf who tells me that I'm only 1 of 4 Dwarves that exist on the surface world, the rest had all returned to the mountain halls to live. He also has a trolley-tray thing, that seems to be the common mode of transportation for Dwarves, I shan't question it. Both me and the other Dwarf were old and bearded, very similar to LOTR Dwarves. Anyways, we decide that we should unite the last of the surface Dwarves and travel back to join our fellow brethren within the mountains. We encounter another bearded Dwarf after an incredibly and unquestionably short amount of time, he is old like us, and a little bit crazy looking. We tell him of what we're doing, and for some reason we have to hurry and leave, we're about to get chased. The first Dwarf decides he will stay behind, he can't come with us because he won't make it, the second Dwarf jumps off of his trolley and onto a lever, then smiles crazily and goes 'oopsy' (he seemed to be working for the people that were about to start chasing us in order to pay off some debt, but he broke the rules and pulled the lever). The lever releases a huge trolley roughly 5mx5mx1m, I roll onto it and turn around, the second Dwarf jumps back onto his trolley and rolls his way swiftly onto the large trolley, and then in an inspiring moment the first Dwarf makes an effort to join us, making it in the last second before the big trolley zoomed off down a wide track.

Phew, safe, the bad guys slip from our minds at this point. The track we're on is like a really wide BMX track in the woods, we zoom off down this track. One of the Dwarves jump off and starts riding his own trolley in front of us, he zooms ahead and occasionally burrows through the ground, then shoots out of a nearby wall and back onto the track. These Dwarves are master diggers or something. We stop after a while to get the last Dwarf. This Dwarf is way younger, and tall like a human, he looks exactly like Will Smith. We convinced him to push us on the large tray-trolley, I sit at the front and pull out a pipe and start smoking it Bilbo Baggins style. I crack a few random jokes about the trolley being a dragon and the smoke I'm breathing being its breath, in retrospect this made no sense -.-... At some point the dream jumps again, I'm the usual old me and I'm skyping my gf, but I feel that somehow it was a coherent transition from the Dwarf adventure.

We skype and her two friends are with her, they're both blonde and one has a few piercings. They apparently have a couple monkeys, this part felt quite vivid when it comes to the monkeys - they seemed so lifelike when I 'woke up' (remember the note) that it spurred me to realize that I HAD been dreaming after all. The conversation with them goes on for a few minutes, but I get the feeling it felt longer than it actually was. They point the camera feed towards the monkeys that are having an argument, one is about 20 inches tall, the other about 30inches. The big one is telling the little one off for dressing up in a pink apron, the little one turns around for the big one to take it off (kind of like a parent telling it's kid off) and it rolls its eyes and its tongue hangs from its mouth lazily, it sighs in annoyance at its fellow monkey.

Somehow my gf is next to me now, she is leaning towards the computer and makes a remark about my room "Ugh what's that smell, it smells like duck shit". To which I respond "I don't know, who cares, maybe a duck came in here and took a shit?" *nonchalant look on my face*
Coincidentally, a duck waddles across my desk all of a sudden, it nips my arm and I try to grab it, then it flutters around frantically as I hold it in my left hand. It then flutters at me in defense, it nips my neck which I feel really intensely. I wake up in an intense spasm, my head pressed against my left shoulder.
