#288 - DILD - After 6:30AM OK I'm busy so I'll leave out some details. When my wife left for work I decided to try WILD but I fell asleep too fast. Luckliy I hit a DILD. I am swimming at my brother's. My nephew keeps doing dives off the diving board. I do a few myself and then talk to my bro. As I am talking I notice visual oddites about my nephew but don't follow the thought. I decide to dive some more but before I get on the board I look up as I have a habit of doing. I notice it's getting very dark and I notice the stars. I begin to see constellations connected by lines and then the actual drawings like you see on a sky map. I realize I am dreaming but I am fascninated with the sky to take much control. For some reason I decide to pull my phone out with and open my sky map app to see the names of constellations. I focus on some of them so that I can remember it later. Unfortunately I never wrote anything down until now so I can't remember then all. I know that one says something like Leo (SOCHI). I feel the dream fading and assume I am waking up but I only lose lucidity. The only thing I recall next is sitting on the cough laughing that I dreamed a constellation with the name Sochi in it. Much later I have a dream that I an looking at the moon during the day and notice there a swiriling clouds coming off it. I want to understand why this is happening but also want to document it. I pull my phone out and snapchat it to everyone. My cousin's wife shows up and I point out the moon to her. We talk about this for a while. I feel like I am missing something important.
As Louis, I'm standing next to Lestat and looking down into the hold of a ship. It seems very dark, and I'm remembering a previous incident where he left me trapped somewhere. I tell him, "I've learned," and we're not going to go through that again. He acts exasperated, like I'm being ridiculous, and of course he wouldn't do that to me again, that was centuries ago, don't be so paranoid. (Woke up. Back to sleep.) After trouble trying to talk to my IRL father on the phone - I couldn't hear him clearly, but I also couldn't make the phone disconnect - I'm now meeting him at some event. I'm trying to save four or five seats, but that causes trouble with the people next to me; I get the seats I wanted, but the group of teenage guys sitting next to us are annoyed with me now. The one right next to me puts his feet up on the row of seats in front of us at an angle, crowding into my space, until he's practically in my lap. I call him a gay slur, then immediately wonder why I said that; meanwhile, he backs off and looks hurt. One of the other guys with him starts getting into my face, and at one point he suggests that maybe everyone here is dead - "I'm dead, you're dead, we're all dead," in a sing-song tone. I say to him, sure. Land of the dead, dreams, Underhill, it's all the same thing. Everyone around me has a rather unpleasant look on their face after that, and I think it's because I mentioned that this is a dream; then I think that this only happened because I picked up that expectation from other lucid dreamers. In any case, I get up and walk out of the room into the hall. Thinking about that Underhill reference, I think it's important that I find elves - they're much preferable to the people who think they're dead - and I look for a door, but this building is built on an open sort of plan, with rooms opening onto each other at strange angles, not easy for me to control. I eventually come around to the back of the building and walk out a door, trying to use the door as a portal and thinking about elves, but feeling like I had only limited success. The door opens onto a stable, and there's a car parked here, and a woman in a ballgown getting into the car with a man who's wearing a uniform indicating he works here. On a closer look, he looks rather elfish. I think about hitching a ride. Bit of a fragmented memory after that - I don't wind up getting into the car, but me and that guy walked out of that stable and into the woods, where we had some encounter with someone else. False awakening after that: waking up in an unfamiliar bedroom, I get my journal out of my backpack beside the bed and start writing down a dream about a (nonexistent) vampire movie involving that woman in the ballgown; as I was writing I believed it to be based on a real movie.

Was playing a sort of game where things were trying to get me, and the only way to avoid them was the land on the object that had Jesus name on it. Played the game twice, the 2nd time I didn't use Jesus, and failed much more. Was at a chowhall, got some cake, two slice, with candy on top, and went to the table to sit. Waved at a girl over at the corner, found at chair between two tables and sat. I look at some other table judgementally and the people seated at it, and someone took a slice of my cake, the one I wanted to eat.
I remembered a dream as I was going through my palace last night and found a trigger I almost forgot was there. I was with a group of people in a dark storage unit. I was wearing my long-sleeved dark shirt with flowers and a ribbon. We’re assessing the stuff inside to steal, which is mostly made up of exercise equipment. I find a nice elliptical machine and point it out. Suddenly, we hear a noise at the door and voices. We freeze and wait in hopes that they’ll move on. I think they have dogs. They burst in. We make a run for it. We get across a fence and are running across grass as the police chase and shoot us down from behind. Inspiration: Me thinking about my elliptical, my zombie wearing a uniform trigger (had to look up ‘white uniforms’ when I was adding it and police outfits were the results).

Outside my house, at night, mostly noticing how green everything is. I fill a balloon with air and it floats me above the ground comfortably. "I must be dreaming" I think, and then slowly glide through the house and around the yard. My friend Tim shows up. Wanting to keep him in the dark about my lucid dream to prevent obstacles, I tell him I'm flying because I found the perfect amount to fill the balloon. He seems to believe this, and I continue to fly around. I maneuver as I would in water, only with no resistance, and the comfort of not holding my breath. Leaning to each direction as I turn, using willpower to accelerate.
Today i dreamt i was in some kind of office, i did thumb reality check and it worked. i saw my thumb trespassing my hand although i didn't get lucid, i kept doing the reality check because i thought it was cool someone came in the office and i asked "Am i lucid?" then i did the thumb reality check in front of him and it worked but i said "This reality check works, but the others don't. So am i awake or dreaming?" for a few seconds my mind woke up on that dream, and i asked myself again "Am i wake up or dreaming?"

today i dreamt i was in a car, my brother was driving back to home and it was night. My brother was surprised to see such supercars in our country and that city. he said "Most of these cars are from girls" I looked the back seat mirror of the car and i counted like 5 lamborghinis, i was surprised as well. then i saw a subaru impreza coming after our car. and i said to my brother: "Look!, it's an impreza behind us" i was happy to see that car because it's my favourite car. i said again "It's not the impreza i like but it's still cool, i prefer the one that is in setubal (city i live in)" my brother said softly: "yeah, that one is cool" Dream elements: -Impreza -Lamborghinis -At night -brother -Castelo branco Technique used: WBTB hours slept: 8 hours
Today i dreamt i was on a top of a building, i had to reach the highest skies to become lucid. I launched out and started to fly above at a high speed, i wanted to be lucid no matter what. I thought to myself: "I have to fight the sky to become lucid, i'll become lucid no matter what!" But suddenly i started to feel i couldn't fly anymore, i was out of energy, so i started to fall down I noticed i had a energy limit for flying, so i landed on that building again. when i landed, something told me i had to found an eye to become lucid. I started to look for that eye in other places, but couldn't find it Dream elements: -Flying Technique used: WBTB hours slept: 8 hours
The three of us were able to meet up at what we're using as a Home base. Next objective we wanted to try was talking to the people there, since we all recalled at least 6 or 7 additional people with us who we didn't intend to see. 1. Almost tantric like coitus with man I love but don't actually know. 2. WG is with her sister (?) and I'm tagging alone. They both seem to want to color their hair.. and pick up boxes to do that. 3. There's an event, I'm trailing behind Wg and her sister when I had to fall behind. I finished and caught up with them but they're turning a corner. I consider catching up and at least saying 'goodbye' before I head off on my own. Yet they seem pretty immersed in their conversation that I decide not to. 4. As soon as I turn around, the coitus-tantric-sex man reappears behind me. He pulls out paper and has a confused expression on his face. We figure out that he won a prize. It was covertly placed into his jacket pocket (black tie-ish event). The paper had three red letters on a white rectangular shaped paper. T-I-F I think. Never figured out what that meant. 5. I work with him to to claim the prize, he doesn't know what he should do. I speak to a nearby event staff to get the info with claiming the prize. There was a sequencing of events and not much time left to get it done. I place the guy in a nearby line to buy some ticket (buying a second ticket for something was the first step). There was one or two things left, we got to the last part and we're near train tracks now. He scratches off part of the ticket to reveal the even larger prize and he doesn't win it. I don't even think he wanted to win it, lol. 6. He's done and laying on the ground now, facing toward the sky. Laughing, I tell him to go claim the prize. It's still $300 which he seemed to be able to use. That and the contest itself was the big deal, not the prize. 7. We get to the area for him to claim the prize and I notice there's a man in a pink ballerina outfit sitting on his knees, he's also wearing a goofy smile. Turns out there are two men who are having a discreet discussion underneath the man in the tutu. I peek under because it's strange and notice a waaaaay too revealing set of pink undergarments and quickly remove myself. 8. I go back to the man who won the prize, he looks at me with such a playful smile as he tells me he didn't want the prize. 9. I return to Home base and find a small room inside. I'm trying to fix something, it almost looks like a toilet but for some reason it had a really weird shape to it (heh, maybe a fountain?) There was a porcelain part and a wicker top part. NH shows up and tries to help me, but he's moreso not helping.
"Oh, no I am not dreaming this again" totally not lucid. My house will be invaded in a fight. Jog straight upstairs and I snipe, alie break down the door and immidiately get shot by me, but one other manages to carry me downstairs. It gets shot too, outside there's a ton of aliens. I try to use my front porch to my advantage. Though cover leaving options are limited I won. Then forty more were around the bak. I can kill those, but get overrun by the ones in my house. That was the end of the flashback. But now it was a flood. So much that the windows aand walls reflected a bubbly cyan tone that was hypnotically magnificent An eskimo goes into the bathroom where it dies for no reason. I reason it is safest to go to my freind's house because it it taller. [fun fact, I've never actually been there. Only in dreams] However his entire house is now made of paper. Earlier I remenber playing an fps. I get seven kills as sniper but it was a bit on the quickscoping side. a mini treaty is present on part of the map. But it was a distraction so the opposing team could get a cap. I sniped the guy while chasing him with my crosshairs perfectly aligned, yet he is not dead. I try to shoot twice more, but miss both times. We both fall over at the same time and as I struggle to get up more of my teammattes come out to get him. However, the match ended via clockout, and my team won.
Feb 28, 2014 I found a box. I can see some colored small boxes in it. Looks like smarties, the candy from UK. So I'm thinking, yeey, candy. I open the box, and it's full of neatly stacked small, travel size boxes of toothpaste. And I just rememebred, that years ago, I have won a lifetime supply of toothpaste. I pick up one of them, and it has large colored dots, or balloons on it. It's a toothpaste for kids. I'm kinda disappointed. I don't like that flawored one. I pick one up from the other end, and this is Rembrant whitening for adults. Yeey, now that's more like it. I share in my god fortune with others and I give them a few boxes.
This is just a little fragment I remember. I was walking into a field/ park( with that green chain link fence) and I saw Mario( the Video game character). I was supposed to distract him, although at the time I didn't know it. I went over to talk to him and we decided in a challenge to climb trees to reach a person. As we got to the trees I distinctly remember commenting that the trees were poplar and I touched the bark. Mario agreed and we began to climb. I beat him to the top and there was a man and I grabbed him. Then I was in a comic store and the male cashier showed me a message from my three sisters and a guy and they were drunk. And then I chose toothpaste from the glass case. There was two kinds but one was actually acid. It was like a trick but I decided on the first one and the man got it for me and brushed his own teeth. I kept hearing bubbling noises but it I had chosen the non acid toothpaste. Then the man told me that a series of events could have been avoided if I hadn't taken so long with Mario. I was like, "of course if I has just given him cheese". And then I saw a scene of Mario eating cheese.
March 1st, 2014 6:30 am non-lucid Dream recall triggered by playing Animal Crossing and seeing a fish's shadow. Had a dream about the fish イトウ in the mode of Animal Crossing.
1. [Lucid] I'm trying to fall asleep lying in my bed when all of a sudden I think of something (Something about a ghost) and it really scares me, then //I start to rotate on the spot until I'm facing the wall that my bed is against, I open my eyes (Its bright as if its day) and see the wall, my bed I'm laying on, the pillow and the blankets on top of me, I get scared and cover my head with the blankets...after a minute or so of hiding I begin to hear music...I have no idea where its coming from...this freaks me out even more so I just lay there to scared to turn around// I wake up and open my eyes then close them and fall asleep, I manage to DEILD... //I am in the exact same dream I just left, I'm still freaked out hearing this music so I try to shout my Mum...I couldn't talk...All I heard was mmmmm// I wake up.
