I was keeping a physical DJ but I lost it somewhere a month ago so I had stopped writing my dreams down and I have noticed that my dreams are getting a little harder to remember so I decided to just restart it on here. So last night was the closest I have come to having a lucid dream. I remember waking up and got prepared to try to WILD. I was still working on the relaxing part when I accidentally fell asleep. I then remembered waking up to what I thought was just a short time after. I immediately just got up and went to my computer and searched, "How to WILD." Then I heard my dad coming down the hall with our dog, and he was yelling at me for being up and my dog was barking at me. This was strange as my Dad hasn't yelled at me in a long time and my dog rarely barks, so I did a reality check and sure enough I was dreaming, and then I woke up. So I guess it counts, just barely though.
I am in a large banquet hall. It is well lit, but somehow seems dark. There are round tables placed around the room randomly. We are celebrating something for the music school. I am with my friend, Jim. He takes me to a table to sit across from a British girl. I think she's really attractive and we talk, but she wants to introduce me to her friend. There is a shift from the banquet hall to a lobby. It looks like a lobby of a cheap hotel. My old bass guitar is hanging up on the wall. I take it down and try to play Chicken Scratch, a song I played in jazz band in high school. I can't figure it out at first, but then I change the strings I'm playing on, and I slap it out like a boss. My old band director is there standing in front of me. He tells me that I can have his rehearsal bass guitar. I tell him that I already have it. There is a shift from the lobby to outside. I am in a long line of people. It seems to never stop in front of my nor behind me. We are standing on a ledge about two stories above the base of a mountain. There are only a few feet between the side of the mountain and where the ledge drops off. The girl the British girl was going to introduce me to is in front of the person in front of me. The person in front of me is on a horse, as is the person behind me. There is a very loud announcement. A man standing on a pedestal as tall as the ledge we are standing on makes a speech about reviews. The man is very tall and looks like Uncle Sam on stilts with blue and white striped pants. He says that each person will either have a 5 second review and a 5 second slide off the ledge, or will have a 10 second review and no slide off the ledge. Many people are happy and joyous, but many seem hopeless and sad. I see the slide appear next to me me and someone goes down it, then it disappears. I continue to follow the horse in front of me. The horse behind me starts to nudge me with its head. I don't want to fall off, so I try to get to the girl in front of the horse in front of me. I can't do it no matter how hard I try. I wake up. *Minor note: I knew in my head that the way we were traveling was illegal.
Below is a graph depicting the results of my first 3 months of serious dream practice. Organizing the data has boosted my confidence and given me an objective way to evaluate progress. Goals for March: 5 LD 40 Recalled dreams
I am shown a picture taken by soldiers during the war in Afghanistan. In the picture there's this broken, miserable child's doll. It is a bomb in disguise. On it's blonde hair it is written in blue marker: "WHAT I ..." "They didn't know it was a bomb at the time the photograph was taken." The girl who is showing me the picture says. It dawns upon me that the soldiers might be dead. I am wondering/ worrying about this as I wake up.

In my first dream, I was at work at south housing with Silas. I called master control because I wanted to see if I was on the list for overtime. My watch said 11:41 and when I looked at it again it said 12:40. In my other dream, I was watching a documentary or a movie about some guy and a mexican woman robbing houses by entering them through the fireplace. There was a lot of driving around and I think I was driving the car. After they robbed about 3 houses, they went back to the first one and cleaned up the mess. The woman told the man "You'd better not leave me behind" and the man replied "Don't worry I won't" Suddenly, the owners arrived and everyone went to the car. I was part of the dream now and I started driving. We saw a cop and knew we were in trouble. We sped down the town and through fences until we finally reached a city. It looked like I was in a GTA game we finally lost the cops. That's when my dream ended.
K and I are at the beach, in the ocean but near the shore. We're talking when I notice about 20 backpacks floating in the water nearby. I look at K, she looks at me, we're both thinking the same thing. Wtf? She grabs one. They're unchanged by the water. She wants to take one. I'm not big on stealing and decide to ask somebody about the bags. Somebody says it's fine to take. K is trying to pick one out for me, asking what I want. One is pink on pink, another blue and pink. She holds up a pink one. Pink isn't really my thing. I tell her to grab the white one since she's now swimming in the middle of the bags. In the middle of this a group of . . . templars? arrive and stand on the beach. They're wearing a sort of greenish uniform with some hard shell padding in the usual places (knees, elbows, etc). They call me over. I get out to see what they want. I'm immediately handcuffed and told that I'm under arrest. Wtf? I look at K for some sort of help with making the mental connect. I thought I was kosher with the templars, we had an arrangement. Judging by the shocked expression on her face, it's clear she has no clue what going on. I tell her not to do anything, let me figure out what's going on first. I'm not sure if she heard me as it was said telepathically. We arrive at a templar compound and I'm being overseen by one of their higher profile men. There was somewhat of a trial but not really. Judge, jury, and executioner was one person. I'm about to be escorted to my new long term home when I decide this bullshit. As we're walking, the man is smug about my future. His gait as he's walking and the fact that he leaves a lot of room between us shows me he doesn't consider me a threat. Using this I decide to stray a bit further back, begin to clean up the room we're in, organizing things, making it aesthetically pleasing. A woman who carries herself with more than enough self confidence walks into the room. She's very pleased with the new look. My thought process was, in a cell I'll be limited with options. I need to keep out of a cell and to do that, I need to appeal to somebody with power. This woman offered an out. My escort seemed decently impressed too. In the middle of this pause, news arrives of an impending attack. People get busy, woman leaves, man is left to escort me to the cell again, but since their resources are preoccupied I make a move. I slip out from the handcuffs and make a run for it. He tries to stop me but I evade his attempts to get a grip on me. The attack has begun and he leaves me to respond. At the border of the compound there are two templars, young, they don't even look like real templars due to their humanity showing through. It doesn't take me long to convince them that I'm just visiting a friend in the compound and due to the attack, thought it best to leave. They let me pass the border and soon after I've acquired a vehicle. Finally making it to a very massive highway, I feel a sense of relief. I get my bearings, figuring out where I am. I can't tell really, cities are beneath me and up ahead I can make out storm clouds. I take a closer look and it's a very large storm, almost a hurricane? Driving straight into it I decide that would offer the best cover. Once I've entered the city I ditch the car and head inside. I head through a parking garage when I hear loud voices talking, they sound like they're looking for somebody. Not taking any chances I decide to leave. I find sort of like an elevator room and pass through one door. "I think she's over here!" I hear one of them say. Once I'm in the room, I head to the opposite side of the it, create another door. Pass through that door. Then another door, and another, and another. That should slow them down at least a little. I still hear them but it's a maze of doors. I take off in another direction and after a brief run I finally approach a wall. A door forms. I open the door and walk in, closing it as I catch my breath. My eyes adjust to the darkness of the room, there's just a faint glow in the center. A man is standing under the glow and I feel a sense of relief with a mild case of terror. It dawns on me that the one person I seem to trust has no army and no allegiance.
I was with 4 of my friends at a pub, were at the side of the pub, like its a pub garden but Theres a gate on the side leading to the garden. In the garden is a wooden bench. Then a black homeless person (looked a bit old) walked past us and sat down on the bench, trying to have a nap. One of my friends, laughing while he does it, locks the gate so the homeless person is locked in the garden. We look back, an almost like a horror movie, the homeless guy is staring at us through the gate, I decide to run in the pub as the guy manages to get through the gate. We run through the pub trying to get away, I turn a corner and this small black male grabs me and moans at me for running. He was small and strangely looked like the comedian Kevin Hart.
just dream that i was at the beach and some kid was doing intense amounts of weed. like settinga new world record for what coud be smoke but like simultaneously doing a documentry. i was in the water tried to attack some guy but he was really good at karate or something and almost threw me but i laughed and told him to stop
I never had a dream where I laughed when I woke up. It was hard for me to see what came before what in the dream (as is usual). I was back in my hometown. I was stayed there for a few days. I was at home in the living room. Mom was telling me about clothes or something. I checked the clothes and decided I should bring a few more. I saw two yellow clothes and thought that I don't have yellow clothes in the city yet. Then there are also the blue jeans. It was night, I believe, or at least dark. Maybe I was going to take my plane that day. I was talking to a woman. She was heading a cause or organization. She was supposed to have a talk, and/or she just came from one. Not sure how I met her. She's tall, wears glasses, and had her hair in a bun. Not sure what we were talking about, but she invited me to her talk. It was going to be in October 26. Then I realize that my flight out of the place is on the 25th. We both thought it was a shame. I think she was talking with Sarah as well. Sarah went out to meet old and new friends. I was in a restaurant with my other org-mates. Not sure what organization. It was dark, but not so dark that I can't see. It's more like the place when it's still closed, but there's already a bit of daylight. The restaurant was inside a mall. The lights were still off. There were different organizations in the place. We were able to get our place in the restaurant; it was first-come-first-served, but I think the org that was there first didn't leave a person behind to man it, so we thought it was free. All this came to mind while I stayed behind to guard the place. There were some sleeping. Some were out and about. Lico was outside. We were in India. He was eating some sampling of local food and enjoying it. I think there was an eat-all-you-can for the food he was eating. The Indian guy who was serving the food offered him more. We talked and he/they said that the seafood came from a place nearby that's teeming with sea creatures, so the food is fresh and cheap. I thought I remember reading about the place. It's near or on an island that disappears when the tide is high. They verified it. I took a sampling of food myself. It was good. I was in a city an hour away from my hometown. I was passing by an area that I haven't visited for years. I thought this place surely has changed. The jeep routes are different. I asked the guy I was with (not sure if he was a driver or a passenger), and he doesn't know. The thought came to me that he looks cute, but also that also scoffed that he doesn't know the place when he travels here. I went down after the river and walked around. The place is different. There were a lot of trees and small houses all over the place. There was a jeep station but no passenger. Or very few passengers. They hailed to see if I was going to ride, but I said no. I walked away and about. I ended up in a highway. It was familiar, but couldn't quite place it. I've been there before, but not on foot. I was riding a car/jeep. (I think it was in another dream where I was in a van with other co-workers going on a trip/a ride with my dad in one of my recent dreams, where we went near the sea). I thought it was a shortcut to somewhere. There was almost no people. It's a "sine-wave" road/highway. To my right, I saw the spires of the city. To my left, I assumed, but did not see, that it's headed for the province. I thought of turning on the GPS to see where exactly I was so I can go back. I saw a cow looking at me. It was tied to a gate of a home. I was like, cool, a cow. With huge-ass horns. It shook its head, like it didn't like something. Huh. I passed by a pillar/stair, blocking our view. When I passed it completely, the cow was gone, and it was turning around the pillar/stair. I checked my shirt. It's red. I ran into a... tunnel? Not exactly a tunnel. But it's like a narrow, semi-underground passage from one area to another. It has a gate. There were two people already walking ahead of me. I closed the gate behind me. I looked back. Surely the cow/bull doesn't know how to open it? I saw it hoof at the gate and it swung open. I ran fast, heartbeat racing, but more due to excitement than fear. I told the couple to get out of the way. The left and right side were not exactly walls, but more like ruins of an old building. There were stairs, pillars and all. I went around, left, right, just to lose the cow/bull, but I still heard it. The couple ran after me to make sure I was alright. The cow/bull caught up. They tried to distract it but it was focused on me. I finally took off my red shirt and threw it at the cow/bull. It seems displeased. Maybe it has something against the person who used to wear it? Back in India. I was talking about the island. I then realized, hey, I know people here in India. Why on earth didn't I contact them? I messaged them on my phone. One of them said that he saw me, but I didn't recognize him. I was like, yeah, but he could have said hi. The Cow/Bull
6:51 am non-lucid I go see a MLP/Blue's Clues movie with my husband and parents. It starts off in the theater, but somehow I end up at home in my parents' back room watching it alone On Demand. The Mane 6 are not in the film and Justin Bieber is. I don't particularly like the film, as it wasn't what I expected. While watching, I accidentally press a button that interrupts the film and can't get back to it because I am only allowed to watch it once On Demand. So I go on YouTube and find the movie in parts. The cross-cutting technique actually appears in my dream! Along with watching this movie, my dream cross-cuts often between another story of family members getting caught out in a storm to build suspense. Something about a public restroom.

I can barely remember being in the city with a lot of friends, and somehow we had to kill each other to survive, I guess like The Hunger Games. I survived and woke up into another dream, in which I was in the beach with the same friend who didn't kill me. I said to him: 'I just had a dream and you had to kill me haha'. He was with his cousin and we went into the water.
Last night was the worst night of sleep I've ever had in my entire life. I can't remember any details of the nightmares other than I was watching women be seduced and then violently raped and murdered. There was no continuity between dreams they were totally random. I also had a false awakening where i awoke, looked at my clock and it was well after I was supposed to be at school so I looked out the window to see if it snowed however, there was no snow on the ground outside, and i thought it was Friday. (In reality there's a foot of snow on the ground and it's a Monday). I then snapped back into my bed with a crushing weight on my chest, unable to move. I heard the sounds of women gagging and began to panic. I kept telling myslef it was only sleep paralysis and forced my eyes closed so I didn't see the horrors that were surely in my room. I felt as though my chest were a limb and punched with it. This caused me to wake up for real by jerking my body up right. I spent the next 20 minutes trying to calm myself down with a pounding headache. Worst. Night. Ever. .
Other way round - I don't remember much of my dreams and nothing interesting - but I had two short LDs in the meantime and will keep record of it like this. From one of my workbooks: Well - anyway - I've been moaning about not meeting my main dream-sign irl - but a bit of activity almost two weeks back, with mantraing and visualisations on our old house - like recommended - gave me two further detections!! Its sort of receding - I'm not living there any more meanwhile, it is about to get destroyed. First time while being sick and not motivated in any way - I just slipped out of lucidity after taking a look around and dreamt on with my story. Then last night was some weird back and forth reasoning: The house - I dream! Then - no, it's getting ripped down this day - that's why I want to get something out of the empty building. Then - noo - it has already been, so I can't stand in front of it! The normal dream, which I forgot by now - was something nice and I wanted to go on with it actually. But the TOTMs came out just on time for this - since there were two DCs standing behind me - I thought take the first task in stride - and so I found out, that a woman with really beautiful long black hair - has as middle name Niniana! Groundbreaking, earthshaking news!! Shortly thought of the aliens - I have to and I will get abducted by aliens this month!! But somehow I reckoned, I wouldn't have enough dream quality or control - and without so much as trying - I slipped back in non-lucidity. So I guess I should concentrate on keeping up the motivation to actually do something lucidly - waking up seems not so much the problem atm. My real life darting has a dip in the moment - so that went to the back of my mind lately - but this whole alien thing with space-ship tourism - I have to!!
Argh, I again remember remembering a dream in the middle of the night. It may have been about work but at this point I am not sure. I remember being barely awake and thinking that maybe I should get up and do WBTB, but I decided not to. In the morning woke up with a sore throat and no recall.
Today i dreamt i was in my brother's house, but in real it was my aunt's house i was on the bedroom where it is the tv and playstation. i brought gran turismo 7 and i wanted to tested it on my brother's ps4. i told him "Let's see if it work on ps3" so i opened the GT7 cover on the bed, and i noticed there was 2 CDS, GT7 and next to it, league of legends for PS3 (WTF?) So i tested the GT7 cd, on that league of legends slot since it was for PS3, i saw the gt7 cd was a bit bigger and a there was a swollen part on the cd my brother said "I also bought another computer to play far cry so you'll need a ps4 too" and i said "But you bought far cry with your own money, parents bought me GT7, of course you can buy your own things with your money. GT7 costed like €70" he said "jeez, €70 for that game..." and i asked him "Can i test GT7 in your ps4 please? i really want to!" he said "Alright" i looked at the TV screen, and saw a desert background with a red car zoomed on it, it was the part of choosing the car. we could ride it while we choosing it, my brother brought the car near a desert tree, and here it comes the wtf moment the car climbed the tree with it's strained hands and his tires. and i said the exactly "WTF?" and started laughing. then i asked my brother if i could get the pad, i wanted to play a little. i saw i could drive around europe. i went to spain first then came back to lisbon, it was way too fast travelling, with such a car. Dream elements: -gran turismo -ps4 -brother -aunt's house -league of legends Technique used: WBTB hours slept: 4 hours
