I'm pretty sure I got lucid somewhere in the beginning but I forgot it.


Dream 2

I was outside in a city and ran into some trouble. I think I tried to sing to battle my enemies but I got into some trouble. As i was flying or running away I met a bird or something and its name was Sensei.But I think we separated later on.

The next thing I recall is walking into a store with a guy and I asked the person to buy a doughnut for me. He said okay but than I changed my mind and took a doughy thing with raspberry inside. I regretted getting it afterward.

The chef than came out and another group of people and told us what he wanted for Christmas. Than we all started walking somewhere and people were talking about what they wanted. I felt kind of left out though. When we got downstairs I saw my brother's old friend.

There was a contest going on in the dark room and Selena Gomez was changing the skull every time someone answered. I payed attention to my brothers friend who started saying he wanted to find a girl who liked the same things he did and stuff. I told him I was interested and than he was like "really?"

Than a random guy came up to me and asked if i had the three trump cards he gave me. I said yeah but when I tried to pull it out a huge gray dirty pantie came out. I was embarrassed and said it wasn't mine but than the guy started telling my brothers friend that he shouldn't be interested in me. He than pointed to a baby with a jelly fish head and said he would turn out like the baby if he was with me.

After that the scene changed and I was watching a anime guy look into a mirror. Than himself in a mask but dressed like a pretty cure character came out and pulled him in.

In my Dream it was confirmed for Dragon Ball: Xenoverse that SSJ4 Vegito was confirmed.
(I woke up disappointed, I put it down as a nightmare because it kinda was...)

-A particularly violent and vivid frag involving me fighting an older military type man with a spear and winning when he decided to commit suicide.

-Something to do with 'Interstellar'

-Something to do with my mom's friend's kids.

-Something to do with wanting a weapon for Christmas being a good thing.

-My friend K's dad had taken up metal-sculpting and he had made all of these hilarious cartoon statues of people screaming and pouting.

+ I'm really mad at a guy, he's walking my dog the wrong way. He's not using the 2-dimensional leash/wall the right way. I see my old dog.

+ I'm in bed, apparently outdoors. The sun is shining down on the blankets making it too warm. I think it's just not possible to fall back asleep once the sun is fully shining down on you and decide to get up

+ I'm in bed with my wife, dozing, awake. Our bed is outside in some yard. We're house watching a house for somebody else, but we don't go inside. I think it would be nice to go inside because it's a large house. I don't want the neighbours looking at us, it's probably illegal to sleep outside. The house we're watching has a nice looking motorcycle with an oange front guard, I wonder if the owner would let me ride it. We're up, I see lots of little bits pieces of fluff / paper all over the ground and in the dimples of our mattress, I pick a few of them up and then stop. I think I want to go get my dog who's down the street in the car.

+ summary: Lake Tahoe Blackjack vacation with best friend MR

Arriving at a location (flying), it's a train station, and someone tells me the tall windows are there so that people who live there can stand at the windows and peek out, I think they might flash passers-by. Still flying, arrive at the parking lot for our casino. The building is alone on an wide open flat area, not very large. The parking lot is large and mostly empty, I see about 5 vehicles in the lot and think "woohoo not too crowded we'll have a great time at the tables!". I circle over the parking lot flying backwards quickly in celebration. On the ground I imagine entering and finding an empty blackjack table.

Inside at the table, MR and I are getting ready to sit down to play blackjack. I want to sit at 1st base, MR is behind the stable standing next to the left of the dealer, he wants to be there but I tell him they won't allow it, and a pit guy tells him the same. MR says he has a very particular place where he wants to sit, so I move down the table towards 3rd base, there's some guy there standing in the very middle of the table and I try to manoeuvre around him, and think about asking him to move down, but I don't.

We get to playing. I'm trying to count cards but keep realising I've forgotten the count. I'm trying to count the cards as they come out. I almost count a 2 but then remember that only 3-4-5-6, 10s get counted. At one point the dealer is dealing both on the regular table and on a diagonally slanted table to the left of our table near the floor, many cards are quickly gathered up I don't have the chance to see them.

At one point I'm holding the bottom few cards of a deck while the dealer deals out the rest, and I hand him the rest of the deck.

My friend is networking with people more than playing . I say ("he went to <XYZ> business school!").

I'm counting my "chips," which have turned into knitted white little doilies, I'm separating them to figure out how much money i have. My initial buy-in was for $100, I think I'm *way* down (to about $30) but it turns out I'm close to even.

One hand, I'm dealt an 11 (9-2 I think) and the dealer shows an Ace. "Gotta double!" I say and put out more chips. I have a 19. The dealer draws a bunch of little cards including another ace, and apparently makes "21", I'm upset, then another "3" card pokes out from the pile of dealer cards, the dealer has busted! I wonder how many times the dealer cheats by hiding cards to avoid busting.

I get confused between the cashier and a small table. I think "time to color up?" and hand in my chips. I get a receipt back instead of cash, I wonder at that for a bit but figure it's a way to keep the player in the casino. I read the receipt to confirm, I can't find the money amount, I am closely looking at the receipt, moving my finger tip over the words line by line (they look like real words, nothing is blurry) but I don't see the amount. They say the balances are listed by the names, I see my wife's name, I eventually see my balance, something like $136, I'm up $36, woohoo. In pencil written on top of the receipt is "45 burrito", they tell me that's good for "a 45 minute burrito meal" in the restaurant. I imagine the restaurant is a buffet and that they must time the comp'd meals of they'd lose money.

Sitting at a blackjack table I smell something. I hear someone way "smoke." I stand up and go outside the automatic double glass doors into an atrium and see smoke and smell it more strongly and see people walking around. My chips are left on the table, I return and see my chips (a green stack) and MR's chips (a blue stack) there are people standing next to them (former H VP from "Be" company?), nobody's taken them.

I think about offering MR to drive in the morning to my favorite Tahoe beach. Even though it's winter I would still love to go there, I haven't been there for years even though I've been back to California several times since we've left. I'd offer to drive there so MR can continue sleeping.

nap / melatonin hangover:

+ (semi-lucid/bold) goosing in the crowd. Every one is facing away from me. There's an old woman, yuck no, there's an old man standing next to her, he seems inexplicably more attractive, but no, see a hot girl and go to give her a "full body" hug from the back while I experience the dream fading feeling.

+ I'm trying to turn off all the lights in an outdoor covered hallway. There are many light switches, all of which work to turn off another light. The main character (me?) drops his pants, and I observe that the servants all copy dropping the pants down to their knees, I see the male's "stuff" but the women only slightly push down their pants, nothing is visible.

+ job offer from JR ("Re" company colleague) (in a wheelchair). JR keeps after me about this position: they offer me fully paid training and then the job. I'm concerned I'll be away from my main job too long and get fired. RM (the VP) is following me while I try to ask JR if RM knows about this offer, JR says yes, in fact RM is behind the whole deal. Some (black?) girls say I should take the training option that is in Africa instead of South America. I'm surprised the training is outside of the US at all.

Yesterday I went to bed at 9:00 and couldn't go to sleep untill 10:30. I think this is because for about five days I have been going to bed at 10:00-11:00, so my body wasn't ready to sleep at that time. The reason I can't remember any dreams is because my sleep and wbtb got messed up.

November 30, 2014

---

I was with my family in Austria or Germany, on a river bank of concrete. It was like a man-made canal or something, with lots of bridges. It actually would look a little more like Chicago's river, but there weren't huge buildings all around.

We were going into a grocery store to get some food, and I was looking around for a specific pop. They didn't have it, so I picked out a chocolate milk instead. The grocery store was in someone's house, or something, and the owners offered tours of the top floors, where there was a lot of historical stuff and machines for sorting things. The stairs were in the center of the building, and the store was all around on the first floor. When we walked in, to the left were crates holding the drinks, like they had at the Kaufland in Germany when I studied over there (that picture's the best I could find to show what it was like. It was a culture shock to see everything out like that in the stores)

As I walked around the store clockwise, I found the counter at the back, and around a bit more was a deli. I met my little brother there and had him hold my things because I needed to get something else and didn't have any money (I didn't tell him he was going to pay for mine). I walked past a man who was looking at some product, and there were whole arms sticking out of the ceiling above him. It was part of the tour, I knew (somehow). The hands went back up through the ceiling, and the man never really noticed.

(I just remembered a few old dreams of rickety bridges through swamps and forests and fields at night, somehow... Not quite sure what the connection is there. Maybe I was on a tour in those dreams?)

First off, before I describe the lucid dream, I had no idea what ‘epiphany’ meant (though I did remember hearing it before). This word is not in my vocabulary. I immediately Google ‘epiphany’ upon waking and this was what I found:

Epiphany: Ancient Greek word. Enlightening realization allows a situation to be understood from a new and deeper perspective.

As part of my lucid dreaming regime I always drink one or two glasses of water before I go to bed, so that I have to wake during the night (yes the P word). I use the ‘Wake Back to Bed’ method so I can be consciously aware during my REM cycle as my body sleeps. This need to pee entered into a dream prior to my waking. I was at a ‘fancy pants’ hotel standing the conference room lobby area with a bunch of people. I had to go real bad, so I found the closest washroom. This was a private washroom, with a lock mechanism ¾’s of the way up the door. I locked the door. The bathroom had a large window facing the sidewalk, and a skylight facing the multi-storey brown brick hotel. It was very high-end, and very clean. There was a toilet and sink. I found it really weird that there were large windows in a washroom. My first thought was that the windows were mirrored, so people couldn’t see in. Any which way, I wasn’t taking a chance, so I decided to sit on the toilet instead of standing. Have you ever tried to pee during a dream? Well, you can’t (most of the time).

All of a sudden, I hear a man asking me a question. Holy crap, there’s a man sitting to the right of me, on another toilet! He had brown hair, brown eyes, and was wearing what looked like a Star Trek uniform. I said to him in a stern voice, “How did you get in here, I locked the door!” He jumped to his feet (I’m glad his pants weren’t down), he apologized, and then he walked towards the door to leave. I looked at the door, and realized the lock mechanism was gone for some reason. Well, this kind of stuff only happens in dreams. I instantly became lucid, and the clarity was perfect. DILD (Dream Induced Lucid Dream). Actually the dream clarity was perfect, even before I became lucid. I then said to dream figure, “Wait, stay! I’m aware!” He stopped and looked at me slightly surprised. He turned again to leave, and in a pleading voice I said, “No, wait, please stay, I’m aware! I want to talk to you!” He turned around and faced me, and his eyes momentarily went dark, and then they returned to brown. I was careful not to say I’m dreaming, or lucid, because that seems to mess with dream figures. He then sat on the toilet with his right leg over his left. His right elbow was on his right knee, and his right hand was up by his chin. He had this perplexed look, and then he said, “Interesting, an epiphany!” Then he asked me if I knew what epiphany meant, and I replied, "No, but I can look that up." I instantly woke, Googled ‘Epiphany’, and then recorded the experience in my dream journal. I didn’t want to wait until the morning to do this, because I would have forgotten 'epiphany' by then, since I never use it.

I just woke up from a lucid dream in which I think I was trying to escape from a mental institute... Anyway I felt like I was narrating everything I did which was fly into the sky and then came back down. I wish I would have stayed in the dream longer. Woke up feeling good.

Dream 1

I forgot.

Dream 2

I was in my house and had my hand in my parakeets cage. However, the cage had more parakeets in it and was smaller. My brothers friend came to me and told me I didn't know how to take care of my birds and that my hand was in the wrong place. I got mad at him and told him to mind his own business and that I do know how to take care of my birds.

He got scared after that and left. Somehow I felt like my hand was in the wrong spot and took it out. The next thing I remember is walking into a field of roses. There was a little girl and a fluffy thing trying to water a flower so it would grow. But it just wasn't growing big enough. I pulled out some purple roses and started walking to the race track I saw in the distance.

My family was watching a race but one of the car drivers lost control and almost ran over my brother. I ran to the car and tried to stop it from running over my brother. It was like the size of a child's battery powered car that they can ride in.When we stopped the car my sister told me to smash the car harder with my foot so I jumped on it and than stopped. The car was now starting to look like a girl.

My mom than pulled me away from the scene and walked me into a church. There was a lot of people around cleaning the chairs and stuff with bounty. I was sort of laughing at the idea of so many people cleaning chairs when suddenly a guy in the middle just shouted "shit!." I think he was trying to be a jokester and tried to make me feel bad at wanting to laugh but my mom said to ignore him and pulled me away.

My mom and I soon reached a building for kindergarten kids. We were inside and my mom asked a lady for a art drawing I did. After that my mom told me to wait for my drawing and left. The lady seemed to be taking a long time so I asked for the drawing myself. The lady said "Oh!" Than went to get it.

I than realized this made no sense and I didn't need to wait. But than a small tiny voice came out of no where and told me to draw red into it. It was a small round black figure floating in the air. I painted red in it with my finger than suddenly it grew a needle like mouth.

It thanked me and said the red was for the blood and that it was going to suck my blood now. I kicked it and tried to keep its big head from getting close to me. It was so annoying I almost felt like giving up but I didn't. I managed to make it really tiny and run. As I ran down the escalators and stairs the thing screamed that it was going to come after me, fly up my butt and implant a disease in me.

I ran out through a small moving door and pushed a girl out of the way. I than appeared in a supermarket and was in a really closed corner near a cash register. A dad called his daughter from behind me and asked his daughter why she always bought frozen hamburger foods. That they were unhealthy and were gonna make her thighs huge. She just said that she likes to eat them and than I woke up.


Dream 3

I was in my living room with my cousins,my brother's friends and my family. I went into the bathroom to shower and got in and out pretty quickly. But I couldn't find clothes. I told my cousin to pass me my clothes and she said okay but she had to do something first.

She walked into the bathroom than moved a picture on the wall. The picture was hiding a square hole where you could view the other room. I was confused but than realized i was dreaming.

I went to the living room and saw lots of people eating fancy food on a fancy table. I thought it was nice but than noticed a DC that looked familiar to another DC i saw in my other dream talking to another guy on a table. I patted him on the shoulder and told him I realized that this was a dream and he said "that's great! It's about time you realized."

When he turned around i could see that his eyes were a really bright light blue and that his hair was a bright yellow.Than the scene began to change and one of my cousins was now eating food at a table. Monsters with radio heads came to attack us out of no where so I fought them for practice.

Than the scene changed again and I was in a huge arcade like place packed with people. There was announcer asking who wanted to try a dream test and I said I would. He brought me to a room and told me to go inside because my opponent will shoot lots of bullets around.

I said no though cause I thought they were trying to deceive me. The guy got angry and told me "Fine! Do it your way than if you don't want to be barricaded." I than heard gun shots and a fat guy was shooting bullets through his finger.

I just used dream control to bend his finger though and than started beating him up. But than....his head came off when he was on the ground. "Was that supposed to happen!?" I asked. Than a guy next to me said not to worry cause his neck and head will grow back together.

Than I noticed another lady announcer asking who wanted to go in a test room to fight with a large version of a octopus and Ursula.I was hesitant at first but than volunteered. The announcer was happy and let me in the room.

As the crowd was cheering though I noticed my vision was fading and I was being pulled back by a green and white net. I jumped forward and could see now but the scenery was different. Ursula and the octopus were small and in a fish bowl.

I knocked them off the table than took a towel to dry them since they need water to live. Than stomped on them and broke them in half. Than they turned into a rose and I woke up.

From this dream I learned that I don't need to get so violent in some dreaming situations if my opponent appears to be bigger and badder than me. I just need to judge the situation better and use kinder attacks.

My dream recall has become atrocious of late. I wake up and have the impression of complex narratives, but often can't even piece together enough specifics to write even fragmentary accounts. The impressions simply refuse to link up with concrete words and images.

I woke up recently and promptly tried to recollect what I was just dreaming about. "Was there a... a... there was! There was a place!" I felt a glint of triumph until I woke up a little more and realized that this was not exactly the start of a compelling dream narrative, however fragmentary:

I was in a place.

At least I was able to find humor in the absurdity of it. Yet effectively this is the sum of what I'm able to articulate about most of my dreams lately, despite an unmistakable feeling, an impression that is almost but not quite visual, of so much more depth and detail.

I was in a place. There were people around. We were engaged in activities.
