I woke up this morning around 6, not recalling any dreams from last night. I decided to try the WILD technique for the first time, but I failed haha.

I don't quite remember where the dream started, but I know I was at my grandma's house... except it didn't look like her house at all. It was in the city and had two stories (in actuality it's only a one story in the middle of the country). She announced to me that the cake was done, and it was time for us to decorate it.

I asked, "Who is the cake for?" Since I didn't recall it to be anyone's birthday that was ultra important.

"Chris," she replied.

I gave her a strange look, but she gave me an excuse like it was my grandpa's brother's son's son, and in the dream it made sense to me, so I went along with it, but told her I didn't know how to decorate a guy's cake. She looked sad at that, so I changed my mind and helped her, saying that she'd have to do most of it.


So the scene changes, and we're at Chris's school which was my old elementary (at least in the dream, it didn't look the same save a few teachers). He's a kid about 6 or 7 years old. Tonight they're coincidentally having an assembly on his birthday, so we're going to celebrate his birthday there. We go inside the school, and it fades to black.

Things that stand out:

• Grandma's house wasn't the same
• I didn't know a Chris that's a kid
• My elementary school wasn't the same

*Kind of mad at myself with this one. There were three things that could've made me realize I was in a dream, but I failed!

After having had a shitty night due to a nasty cold, this morning I was feeling very sleepy. As I didn't have to go to the uni, I thought I would sleep more. It was 10 am when I last checked the clock in waking world.

I was lying on my bed and my mind was wandering, having random thoughts. My bed was on my boyfriend's corridor, the stairs of his house were at my left. Then I realised... that's not my bedroom, I must be in a dream. I felt somewhat strange, like I still wasn't entirely in the dream, because somehow I could still feel my waking body, it's hard to explain. It was like I had slept through the whole process of a WILD and I had awoken seconds away from entering the dream. Well, anyway. At this point I started hearing footsteps coming from the stairs at my left. I assumed that had to be an audible hallucination, but it still freaked me out. I thought I would test myself to see if I was in the dream for good or not yet. I tried turning my head towards the footsteps (my head was turned to the right) and if I could move it with ease, it meant I was already in the dream. When I did it, I felt I was completely paralysed. This scared me even more, I don't know why. Stupid as I am, instead of waiting a bit longer, I kept forcing my neck, I needed to turn it no matter what because the relentless footsteps were getting the better of me. I had never experienced paralysis or hallucinations this vivid ever before. At some point during this process, I didn't feel in the dream anymore, I felt my physical body so paralysed that even my eyelids were glued shut. And still, the footsteps were vivid. Ultimately, I managed to move my neck and when I did, I snapped out of the whole thing and the footsteps stopped. It was then when I cleared my mind and realised I had lost a golden opportunity. But anyway, I'm glad I finally experienced sleep paralysis and hallucinations with such vividness.

Morning of April 22, 2014. Tuesday.



This was another longer dream with different scenes, yet only two are clearer.

One scenario was unusual and involved my brother Dennis. My family and I are wandering through a large park with unusually equidistant (by about ten feet) rows and columns of old, large trees. For some reason, we climb them at different times and sit on the branches. It seems to be fairly late at night. A couple trees do not seem suitable to hold the weight on certain branches, and I think about hovering just above the branch enough to still make it seems as if I am “in” the tree. One particular tree does not seem to have any branches to sit on, as the angles of at least two larger branches directly upright from the trunk go out to about forty-five to sixty degrees.

Another scene involves Buddhists, but with some aspects of Krishna-based dress and decorations it seems, at some sort of small mall center to help distribute food and such to poor people in the town. Over time, I hover and fly in a cross-legged meditation position (which I think is my least common way of flying, actually). It seems slightly difficult to do at times, but I manage well. The monks mostly ignore me as they go about their work, inducing handing brochures to people walking through the hall of the shopping mall. At one point, I seem to be wearing a robe which hangs down, almost touching the floor. This does not seem problematic for the most part. In some ways, my movements seem to involve muscular effort to go certain directions even though I am only floating in the air.

Date: Apr 22
Sleep Length: 4.5h - (WBTB) - 6h (= 10.5h)
Techniques: DILD + WBTB
I also wrote down what happened to me that day, which is said to help dream recall
Dream Summary:
(1) I was dreaming about my piano classes and my piano teacher. I arrived in the classroom and there was a bunch of other musicians, but I don't like music groups, so I just sneaked away. I'm not sure if this is part of the same dream, but I was also having a rehearsal with 2-3 of my friends for some sing and dance show. We did some weird group dance and we weren't bad, but we were bad when the audience was watching.
(2) I was in the bathtub, and basically just thinking about stuff. I was thinking about posters I've seen on the streets. They seem to have been about fetishes, like japanese domina, bdsm and stuff like that. Probably because my father who's been in japan has seen such things
(3) I tried to remember this dream, but I was afraid I'd forget dream (1) then. I remember a fragment about a hill, and someone has been acting like a slut. There were rumors or we were talking behind her back, idk, in any case it felt like an american high school movie
(4) I was meeting a friend of mine (V), IWL he has a plane, in my dream I had a plane, and he kinda borrowed it. It was a small plane, but I loved it. For some reason there was a pixel mario drawn onto the door. I wasn't actually dreaming it, but I imagined using that plane to go skydiving. For some reason I checked his steam account (what a deep dream sign) and noticed he played lots of pokemon recently... go figure
Vividness (1-15), Awareness (1-10), Length (min): 3/2/30
Emotions: mostly indifferent
Tags: piano, teacher, group musicians, stage;; bathtub (morning), fetish (posters);; hill, slut;; plane, skydiving V, games

Note: I'm happy about my dream recall quantity. 2 dreams per awakening. Odd detail: when I woke up for WBTB, I remembered 3 dreams and wrote tags down. When I woke up in the morning I didn't remember anything about dream (4). When I wrote down the other dreams, I started to remember more details about dream (1) and suddenly recalled dream (4)

00:00 Tuesday 2014-04-22

00:20

Took bodybuilding amino acid blend at bedtime as reported here: http://www.dreamviews.com/lucid-aids...ml#post2097555

It delivered wild and wacky and vivid late morning dreams and lucidity. Epic recall (yay, it's been a while). Long dream(s).

00:45 bedtime

06:00 woke with no recall, unusual, disappointed, thought the AA blend resulted in the first zero recall night in months.... Fall back asleep.

07:40 alarm

+ In parent's house (primary dream sign, missed it), I'm in my old room, I see TZ as a small girl carrying one of my sons's trophies about to throw it, I say "don't throw that!" she throws it anyway, I enter hallway and parent's bedroom following her, I kneel down and set her on my knee and take the trophy into my hand and explain to her that this is very valuable, I try to look at the bottom of the trophy to see which son it belongs to but there's no writing there, the trophy is like a strange piece of coral with many many spikey turrets on it and is white. I walk back through hallway and see MD standing there, I say "hi, how's it going" and walk on. Downstairs I hear my wife singing in my parent's living room with a crowd of people, I'm wearing just a bathrobe and it doesn't fit I'm trying to pull the opening together at my chest level, I walk through the back porch to avoid being seen by the new people there, I'm also wearing funny slippers, I encounter PZ at the door to the kitchen and say "hi" to her.

09:30

+ Observing some sort of auction, they're buying all of our stuff ("look, there goes the dresser!" "There goes our fancy display case!"). After it's over the managers of the auction are playing our piano, they've transformed it into a grand piano and I hear it is slightly out of tune, they're adjusting it. I'm in a room with my wife who says we should have sold all of our stuff directly instead of using a go-between, I tell her no the advertising and the shipping costs would have eaten away all the profits. We got 18% of the proceeds and I think this is a good deal considering all the expenses.

+ driving on a road trying to find a place to pull over it's in traffic not easy to do. Driving in to a public park there's a rec center there, go inside see what I think are handball courts, I imagine the game and go to watch it, the courts are full of swarthy little men they say no it's not handball it's <something>. Very strange/bizarre/frenzied action they're moving super fast manipulating little strange objects very quickly like a living pinball game sort of, I climb over the middle of a large game wheel that is outside of the handball courts in between their uses of it.

+ In a large room I'm trying to pick up some things that keep falling away from me, I think it's really frustrating and funny how they keep falling, eventually they fall into a small pile of sand and I see the things skink in to the sand out of my control/reach, I say "you've got to be kidding me!" I see the things sink slowly into the sand I can't stop them, I'm frustrated. I'm concerned about large plastic garbage bags filled with egg yolks suffocating me. I leave this area and meet with with some girl friends they're chastising me I say what can I do there was quicksand and suffocating bags of eggs!

Re-enter the large room and there's a maniac in there who has harnessed the power of the eggs and is terrorizing large groups of people. He's standing in the middle of the room on some sort of large contraption spewing out egg yolks and he's wielding its power. He summons and shoots a basketball-sized orange at me at high speed I manage to dodge it. He telepathically pins a group of people to the wall on the right with their arms up over their heads. He summons dozens of kitchen knives pointed at them and shoots them quickly aimed at their hands. I can't tell if the knives hit their hands or he just teases them by just barely missing their hands.

I go out the front door with 2 guys we plan to take him down, we're going to sneak up on him from the rear and hit him on the head. We're in the back area and sneak up on him and we see Harry Potter's wand on the ground, we grab it and regroup in the back room, we think after all that planning it was easy to grab the wand. It's a slightly bend small colorful tube (green?) wrapped in colorful electrical tape.

+ On a bus with people, we enter a mall. There's a large white building (parking garage?) overflowing with blackened tormented scary beings many of them holding swords at each level of the structure. Many of them are on the ground along the road as well (apparently in Hell?). I say out lould "Oh man I always hate coming here!" People on the bus agree.

Further along we approach a building and a couple of attractive but strange looking large birds (turkey sized) are jumping at the windows of the bus on the left side, we're amused by this, I say to the guy in the seat behind me "it's trying to kiss you!" the bus drives by.

We arrive at the rear exit to the museum a small glass-walled room with an automatic sliding glass door, I sneak quickly inside when someone exits. I'm thinking we can all enter this way. I try to prop the door open but a museum worker helps by jamming a stick into the mechanism, people from the bus enter the little room.

Water is falling down on us a woman says we should leave this area because it's raining, I say no, I see up above there is water falling through a grate I know this is a groundskeeper watering the plants on the level above us there is a stairway to go up to that level.

+ I see myself falling asleep (dream within dream) and seeing dream-dream imagery through my dream eyelids, I try to open my dream-dream eyes into the dream-dream but the images vanish and I'm "awake" back in the dream.

+ I'm walking through rooms, dropping coins, wife says not to do that, I tell her it doesn't matter because I'm dreaming, I open a door but first thing, "What's behind this door? A PARTY!" and open the door, look around, it's an almost empty white walled room I see behind the door (my wife?) is sitting on the ground against the wall (with a laptop?), the light is low but not really very dark, it's like a pleasant light from a single warm bulb on the ground. I'm laughing / happy, this is a GREAT game! I'm running I go to the other side of the room and ask her "What do you think is behind this door? A PARTY!" I open the door and there is indeed a party in there. Middle-aged women are around the room, well-dressed, in makeup, I'm looking for an attractive woman, I see some sitting on a couch, one has nice cleavage, I approach them and have two of them stand up next to me like I'm arranging some party activity, and bring the two together and I go to kiss the one on the left and wake up.

Lucidity low and basically no memory, not TOTM-worthy, but still quite fun. I think I was into and out of lucidity throughout much of the scenes above but don't really remember exactly when except right at the end there. There were earlier scenes, too, before the beignning of the recalled dreams.

(This was actually from night before last, but I was too lazy to post it yesterday.)

Had a long lucid dream! Yay! That's like, what, three LDs in one week? (I had two other lucid dreams in that week, but did not post them. Get this though, I had them both in the same night! How cool is that?) Man, that's so awesome. I didn't even expect to have one last night since I didn't do as many RCs and didn't repeat my mantra as I went to sleep.
I remember it started off in some large building with a lot of people. It was very white and clean inside, no lights were on, but there was plenty of light from the sun coming through the windows. I think it was a school or an apartment. Some random guy, probably early twenties, who was thin, tall and had brown hair (I think he wore a sweater) came in and threatened us. He said we had to find the secret passageway hidden in the building within five minutes. I don't remember what he said he'd do if we didn't find it, but I don't think it was anything good. I don't know why he asked us to find it either. We were all panicking, searching rooms for a hidden door or something as he was counting down. I ran through rooms, sliding across the floors, peaking under beds, looking everywhere I possibly could. All the rooms looked like I said before; no lights on and the walls were all white. Also, most floors were wood or white carpet and the furniture seemed modern.
I eventually found a room that looked like my bedroom except clean. No furniture. It was around this point I suddenly realised I was dreaming and remembered if I found myself in my bedroom in a dream again I should try going through my mirror, just for fun. There were people outside the room and for some reason, I didn't want them to be able to see what I was doing inside so I left the door to my bedroom cracked. I walked up to my mirror and and touched it with my hand, expecting it to go through. It did and felt just like I imagined going through a mirror would feel; like going through a thick liquid. Suddenly I thought, what if this was the secret passage? I looked through the cracked door near me and saw that sweater guy was right outside the room. I think one of the DCs out there was one of my friends and I tried telling them where the secret passage was through hints so the sweater guy wouldn't know, but I sort of failed. He followed us into my bedroom and I told my friend to quickly go through the mirror. I tried going through the mirror, but couldn't force myself through. I took deep breathes and tried to believe I could go through the mirror. Then I finally went through, and I think I pulled that other guy through with me.
After going through, we were now outside near a big, white building in some city on a sidewalk. Behind me was a glass wall that was slanted over and attached to the white building we were next to. I'm assuming that's where we came out and if I walked through it I would be in my bedroom again. The sweater guy fell to the ground and I thought he might attack me. I don't know what I was thinking but I shot out my hand and froze him XD Not frozen solid, he could move, but not much. I thawed him out immediately afterwards (didn't want to freeze the guy to death) and asked if he was alright and said I was still getting used to dream control (or something like that). He only nodded his head, I don't think he spoke, and just had a ":0" look on his face LOL. He seemed really surprised. I don't know what happened to my DC friend. Must've just gone somewhere else? Probably ran away. I know I would have. After this I started running really, really fast just for the hell of it. Eventually I stopped and looked around. I'm still on a sidewalk, in a city, and next to me is a metal fence. I repeatedly told myself this is a dream, as always, and said things such as "This is going to be an awesome, vivid, long lucid dream!" and things like this to help stabilise the dream and hopefully lengthen it. I think that really DID help a lot, since the dream lasted quite a while (I think).
As I walked, I eventually saw a tree and then the sidewalk turned. Around the time when I see the tree, I say "100% clarity" to make everything more clear and vivid. Sure enough it works, however not as well as I would have liked. I continue walking and I see 2-3 people ahead of me, I think all brunette girls. Why I'm still walking and not out doing something, I don't know -_- They're discussing some restraunt or something like that. I think the scenery has changed and the fence is gone. I noticed the sky is a pretty blue with a few clouds and the sidewalk is replaced with pebbles. I see bright grass in the corner of my eye and a red building that kind of looked like a Chinese restraunt or something. Eventually I must have gotten close enough to them that they began to talk to me and ended up distracting me. The scenery has changed once again and it appears there are many more trees, it is dark, and there are a lot of bright, pretty lights and buildings. It almost looked like some sort of festival. My dream is fading a little and I've started to lose my lucidity until I finally remember I'm dreaming and I repeatedly tell myself this and try to stabilise my dream. "I need to leave this dream setting." I remember thinking to myself.
And the next thing I rememeber I'm in a store that looks like Walmart. I don't know how I got here. I think the scenery just changed itself. I don't know why it had to be Walmart though. Talk about random. I see isles of different items, such as toys and decor and useful items. I see my parents are here shopping and talking to each other about stuff they need to buy. I must've have lost my lucidity for a few seconds because I started thinking "Oh, I might need to buy some stu--" but then I'm like "NO, you idiot. You're dreaming. You don't need to go shopping." I don't remember this part of the dream too well but I think I interacted with my parents for a little bit and then I told them something like "Hey, I like hanging out with you guys and all, but I think I'm going to go out and explore my dream more." They seem to understand well and say something like "That's fine." and smile. For some reason, my parents ALWAYS know that I'm dreaming in my dreams. Kind of odd. Wonder if that means something.
I start thinking about my dream goals and decide I'm going to try going to Equestria. I want to go out through the exit, but I don't want to walk around the whole store looking for it so I try to fly. I swear I'm REALLY trying, but it just doesn't work. I was able to float for a few seconds on my stomach with my arms spread out, but I fell -_- So I eventually gave up and came up with the idea of trying to conjure a jet pack to allow me to fly. I look over to my right and see an isle of backpacks and I pick up a small, pale pink one and try to turn it into a jet pack. I fail. I think my mom came over and asked what I was doing and I said I can't fly so I'm trying to turn this backpack into a jet pack lol. She just says something like "Oh." in the most casual way like what I'm saying isn't crazy and people try to turn backpacks into jet packs all the time XD Yeah, that was pretty funny. Then the dream started to fade away and I could start to feel myself in bed. I try everything to try and stabilise it, saying different things and stuff and I even start to see my dream come back but I woke up anyway sadly.
Right when I'm about to get to the point of my lucid dreams, I ALWAYS wake up, ugh. Stupid me, I waste too much time doing random shit. But hey, oh well. I'll get over that and get better. I'm still pretty happy about this dream. I'm really confident I can master lucid dreaming. I just need to figure out flying again and be more focused in my dreams...

Dream
Notes

In my first dream, I was defending against some monsters with turrets and towers, like the game Sanctum 2. My girlfriend woke me up while I was dreaming this.
----------------------------------------------------------

In my other dream, I was on a plane flying across the sky. The pilot was saying something about the sunset which was very pretty. Suddenly, we see Russian and American ships shooting civilian boats on the water. The boats turn out to be pirates and the plane turns into a ship and we sail past them. We keep sailing at a pretty fast speed and see a lot of cars sailing the ocean two parallel lines. The ship turns into a car and I'm with my aunt, who is driving, my grandma in the passenger seat, and Andrea to the seat on my right. We're still in the ocean and suddenly we see more pirates. Some of them are unarmed and I don't know why they're getting shot at. Someone says there's civilians being held captive in their boats but I say "Then that's less of a reason to shoot them." Some pirates then shoot a missile at an American ship and I expect it to cause some major damage because it looks like it's going to hit a weakspot but nothing happens to the American ship. We arrive on land and I know we're in Venezuela. We're speeding through the road and a right light comes up. I yell at my aunt about the light and she says she's not gonna stop. We keep going and a car almost crashes into us. The car suddenly appears and we come to a stop. A woman gets out with an iron stick and hits my aunt with it. I get out of the car and get behind the woman, pick her up, and slam her to the ground. I was trying a different move but this one did the job just fine. I get back in the car and tell her to speed off and hurry. We pass a lot of cars and hills and we start arriving where we're going. I see these floating naga-like creatures and ask if they're truly real.

This is when I started using Vitamin B-6

I was in a college campus and people were teaching about lucid dreaming. I thought the main guy was a fluke so I wouldn't pay attention to him and I'd just do parkour. TSgt Gonzales was there and we were talking about something. After, I took the fluke's journal and read it. It had horrible handwriting and it was stupidly written and had stupid formatting. I saw a guy in a wheelchair take my journal and I stole it back. Someone saw when I did that and I opened it and showed him my name in the journal. It also had Nathan's name.

I was in Albuquerque when my car broke down so I did parkour trying to get out of the city. The sun was setting and I walked a lot. Suddenly I made it to the top of a very tall building. I was scared on the way up because the railings were unstable and there was bobwire blocking parts of it. Some guy from the prison in Santa Fe was there and I tried telling him that I worked at a prison but he was pretty stupid and didn't know what I was trying to say. Some guy appeared with his car on the roof and he fell with it into the highway. Another guy also fell. Me and the C/O walked away after some cops showed up and we came to an elevator. I was asking which was the best way to get back. There were 2 elevators and I picked the one with some teenagers because they were headed the same way I was. I teleported and was watching a murder show about some guy that killed some kid. I was on a bed and the guy turned into Desirae and I was begging her not to tickle me. The dream slowly started turning into a nightmare but I woke up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I dreamt I was with my family and I had a daughter. She had peed under the table while I was eating and I asked people to take her to the bathroom for me. Everyone said no, that it's my responsibility. I got mad and took her to the bathroom. I put her on the toilet and turned around to wash my hands. I said to myself "This family has no fucking respect." When I turned around again, my daughter was gone. I looked all around the bathroom and even stuck my hand in the toilet, thinking she had fallen in.

This is a little foggy now, being that I had this dream over 12 hours ago, but I'll write down what I remember...

This dream was a grand adventure. Although I became aware that I was dreaming after a little while, I decided not to interfere because it was just so damn cool

Alright. So the first thing I remember is running throughout this large pirate ship. It had many floors, masts, decks, the whole nine yards. There were tons of other pirates on this ship (the friendly kind, not the filthy mean pillaging kind). There was a sense of panic and urgency in the air, so I slid super humanly down some masts, and sprinted down the ship to the bottom where there was a deck that you could peer out of. This is when I discovered that we were not sailing, but simply stalled in a bay with an entire fleet of ships similar to the one I was on. The captain (a girl) and a few other pirates were discussing what they should do about 'the attack.' As I looked up, there was a giant man tearing apart all of the ships in the fleet like they were toys. This is when I realized that we were the small ones, and it wasn't just that there was one giant man, the giant man was normal sized. Everyone on the ship was ordered to evacuate, so I once again leaped across the boat, swung from mast to mast. When I was about to get off, someone asked me to help get other passengers off without the 'giant' detecting us, so I helped escort a few more people off of the boat. At this point the giant was right above us, and the adrenaline rush that came with sneaking around him was incredible. I was on major stealth mode.
We eventually got off of the boat, and into the 'real' world. After some wondering the crew came across a giant (normal sized) car. We decided we should get onto it, and that it would be our best bet at survival because the car would lead us to a home, as well as a food source. We all climbed into the trunk of the car...

and this is when my cat woke me up

(Last night's dream I had April 21 around 3:30am I think)

My last dream started at my house I think I was with my cousin and mom near the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen and saw a pot with some white rice in it. Unlike my other dreams where I get mad if I think everyone ate without me. I remained calm. I ate some of the rice than left.(Yay Progress >w<) After that I appeared in a school. I saw people exiting and than suddenly someone yelled that the building was going to explode. So I and others ran to the exit I managed to escape after jumping and covering my head when I exited. After the explosion I walked into a apartment and saw a little girl with her mother. She was examining the girl's head from the back. Than began to talk to me. "You see these flowery lines on the back" the mother said while pointing at the back hair of her daughter."yeah" I said. The mom took out a white ointment and rubbed some on the back of her daughters head. "That's something the doctor won't tell you about" the mother said. I got worried it was something serious that I might have so I asked her " Can you put some on me? Please." She put some ointment on my back head than untied her hair and her daughters hair from their pony tails. "Sometimes you just gotta let your hair loose, you know?" The mother said. I thought to myself how I wanted to..but my hair is not good enough to be out now.Than that's when we felt someone else like an intruder was in the place. We decided to run together. We ran down the stairs and appeared in my house but in the downstairs hallway. It was dark. I could see the two other rooms but I was scared to go in the dark room. That's when the mom told me it was going to be Ok and helped me into the room. We could feel the intruder coming. " I'm scared..."I said a bit panicky. "I'm scared..." I said again than heard someone snoring . I turned to see a boy napping under a blanket. I began to shake his leg begging him to help me. He got up and said it would be OK. "But I'm scared..." I repeated. That's when a bright red light (the intruder) was near. The boy jumped out the bed in front of me. The setting changed a bit. He yelled to me "Go on the roof! than began to knock on a window sill that suddenly appeared in front of him. Than removed a face mask off his head. He looked at me than winked with a smile. I winked back at him intrigued by his actions. Then he winked again at me. Than I found it funny and winked again. Than after he winks one more time I went through the wall to my right and jumped on the roof. He followed me. The houses looked kind of mashed together. I jumped on two more roofs and landed on a very small red triangle roof. Looking down below I saw a scene where 4 people were. A lady asked if a girl was a guy's wife. She said "no, were friends." Than I woke up.

Monday 4/21/14

Lastnight bed 9:15pm - 7:45am

Woke up at 11pm with these dreams:

1)
I'm between tracks at the train station. Standing by a black, matte, old fashioned but somewhat modern looking locomotive. It's 4 times bigger than normal locomotive. It's imposant. It belongs to me. I step accross the tracks to the left and I see another train coming and I know I'm gonna make it on time. I duck under another train that's not moving. I emerge by another huge black matte locomotive. It's not moving, but it's about to pull out. I run alongside looking for a door. I find one and hop on board.

The whole train has only sleeper wagons. I wonder how it would be like to sleep in one compartment with 8 strangers. I decide to walk through the train to find out.

I walk through a compartment that is large and has about 20 people in it. Some are sitting at the desk playing cards. I walk to another door and step over a boy in grey sweater and I apologise to him for him having to move so I can exit. He said no problem, that's what happens when you sit by the door.

2)
I'm hovering over a steep street, that looks like a river that overflowed it's banks. There is a fast rushing water coming down the hill. Otherwise it's a normal street with cars and buildings.

I see a car on the top, with a driver frantically waving at me. I think he is worried I'm gonna drown or he is gonna hit me.

Another car is coming buy and my presence makes hem change direction, so he doesn't hit an innocent bystander, but he crashes and kills only self. I understand he was suicidal.

4/13, 4/19, 4/21

4/13/14* 1225+ 2? 620 while trying to wild I have an FA where I am writing an interesting line from my previous dream in my bedside dream journal and my wife pinches me in the butt as if to say what are you doing writing again in the middle of the night? After a moment I realize it is a false awakening (didn't count this one in my LD count as I think I quickly fell asleep in the FA) and later when I do wake up I remember it and I remember most of the line I was trying to write down because I was repeating it in my head during the false awakening . It was like one of those guys (I forget what you call them the guy is there to lure you in at a circus sideshow) and he was saying "step right up, come right in, come one come all. Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls of all ages behold the magnificent Ruska something something tuska?"...some kind of ryhme that I found to be funny and I did not want to forget. Then on to remembering my dream after the false awakening that led to a dild...

My wife, my nephew & I are at some shopping mall and we are getting ready to head back home and I tease my nephew who seemed ready to go saying it will only take about 4.5 hours to get home. (Funny 4.5 hours just like my favorite wake back to bed time.) I turn around through the parking lot trying to go out a different way but suddenly I see an image of my side door to the garage and realize that is strange since we're not home yet could this be a dream? I'm confused for a moment. I told my wife that she better drive home and I will fly home in case this is some kind of vision of a break in that is really happening (doh!) and then I say wait a minute...fly...of course yes I am dreaming and I fly. I am back at home, most like waking life home and I tell myself to forget about the broken door since I am dreaming. I hear a woman singing lightly like she was following along with a song on the radio and I float/fly up over the fence and I do not see her in
the side yard. I look up and see an open window and float up there to the second story and inside I see a man with his two young sons in a bedroom and I think of the prank task of the month and I say hey to one of the kids and duck out of sight like I am leaving but then I pop back up and scare the boy. I then go on to a lot of fun first calling the wife in to the room simply calling out hey wife come here and she even answers something like yes honey and comes into the room...at this point the father and kids disappear and I summon additional people doing additional fun games with them but not really pranks and I summon two more sets of people until the room was full with a lot of people. I may break down the details later in my dream journal...but it is a little embarrassing...nothing new I guess for my dream journal. (Ok so it basically was creating an orgy scene but the first time I just said let's bring over a bunch of the couple's friends. The
attractiveness of the friends was not too good so for the 2nd set I said all of your beautiful friends and have them undress. It was still a mixed group of beautiful and not so beautiful people laying all over each other. I would say there were 20 or more people in the room. As I am looking at my creation still floating outside the open window. Before the orgy scene I had the wife undress. She was a little over weight but had very nice large breasts.) 133

4/19* ~1130 230? 5? 620-7late wbtb/nap light oatmeal. I am attempting to wild and I eventually get vibrations and I stay patient. It turns into a false awakening waking up on a couch at the top of the stairs in a house most like my current one. My son is sitting next to me on the couch. I can hear someone downstairs and I can see from my spot on the couch a woman down below although her face is just out of view. She is wearing black tights with a floral print. At first I wonder if it is "A" from up north but then I figured out it is and/or willed her to be "B" when she was in her 20's. This frisky thinking seemed to dematerialize my clothes which felt awkward for a moment with my son next to me but it's a dream I remind myself. As I am considering my next move, I lose the dream. WILDs..sometimes too fragile for me! 134

4/21* 11-1130 half awake. Set intention to wake at 4.5 hours and close! ~3:47 for wbtb, 6 wake from LD. Apple juice before bed. Nice and vivid NLDs before my DEILD. Clear, feeling the sun on my skin and the heat in the air, "knowing" it was midday around noon at a golf course with wife in golf attire. Later I think I had my 2nd case of true SP. It led to a DEILD! I was awoken by something and felt like I was being held down, but after trying to move and not being able to, I realized the situation and stayed calm and turned it positive! I have felt heaviness several times before but usually recognize the feeling before attempting to struggle so some of those may have been different. I started imagining a beautiful woman was on top of me and sure enough, very nice! She is also the same nationality as my wife. We have full blown realistic feeling sex in a large hotel room bed, apparently continuing the travelling/vacation theme from earlier. She eventually walks out of the
room satisfied and another gorgeous woman walks in with sound equipment and wiring wearing one piece jumpsuit with a tool belt and she asks me if my ahem is under those sheets where I am still completely naked. She is also the same nationality as my wife and she uses a term in their language for my ahem. I say yes and she takes a look. I actually plan on leaving the room and was telling her that I just finished up with the woman that just left and may be spent. She remarks that it doesn't look that way, you look ready. I say you are right, why not. We have full blown realistic sex also. I can't get over the realism and her sexiness. Wake around 6 smiling big. Some more late dreams with my typical (but not always) late morning fogginess. 135

A woman has another woman tied to a tree, and is spreading caviar on her face to attract animals to eat her. She's interrupted by some panic among the people she's working with. People are transforming into creatures - from what they're shouting, I have the impression that it's mostly insects, but when I switch to first person, the only transformation I actually see is a bird emerging from a woman's shoulder and flying away. Mostly I just see panicked people running away.

I'm leaving too, with several others, at a calmer pace. I look down at my bare feet, and notice that the girl whose body I'm possessing has decorated her toenails in Satanic symbols - not just painting them, but actually growing them into horn-like shapes. I comment on this to one of the people I'm walking with, although I'm careful to phrase it as if I'm the real owner of this body, not something possessing her.

Still in that body, I'm at a club with a woman named Pepper. I'm wearing sunglasses - it's night, but I need them to protect myself from the electric lights. I'll take them off when we're outside. We're leaving, waiting by a coat check or something similar, when we're approached by two men, one of them hitting on Pepper, the other hanging back. At first I'm irritated, but then I remember that I'm using a female body at the moment, and I realize the other guy is playing wingman. I'm amused. Since Pepper seems interested enough, we all leave together.

We briefly stop by my IRL house, and when I look in a mirror, I see my IRL self, although my reflection isn't mirroring my actions. Pepper calls for me to hurry up, calling the name of the girl whose body I'm possessing for the first time - Julie. Outside, it's dawn, the clouds are starting to change colors, so I put my sunglasses back on. There's a large car parked outside - wingman's in the driver's seat, Pepper and the other guy are in the back. I get into the passenger seat.

We drive past several rundown-looking houses, and the guy in the back seat asks me if they're haunted, this being my neighborhood. I say sure, a house that looks like that has to have a few ghosts around. I'm not being serious, just humoring him. He goes on and on about the dead, and he's beginning to irritate me - he's attempting to show off his knowledge, but it's not particularly impressive. He says that he can speak to the dead more easily than others because he still has all his canine teeth - I have an image of one tooth behind another, like adult teeth behind baby teeth, though he's an adult. He says they make a point of telling you that they're dead. And he asks me something about dead and dreams - I didn't catch most of the question, too much background noise, but I assumed he was asking me if I'd ever been visited by the dead in my dreams. I say, sure - I may not know much about talking to dead people, but dreams I can do.

Wingman calls my attention away, asking for directions - left or right here? It's not even really a fork in the road, the road we're on just curves right and another road splits away, but I guess it might look confusing if you're not used to it; I tell him to bear right. The guy in the backseat offers me and Pepper beers from a cooler, and asks if we find him creepy, with all that talk about dead people. I say no, the talk about dead people's fine, it's the way you talk about getting me and Pepper to drink that's creepy. Pepper agrees, but she's laughing about it. I was only half joking. Even the wingman agrees - the guy's phrasing is odd, as if he's trying to get us incapacitated. We hit a bump in the road and he spills some of his own beer on the upholstery; I tell him he better clean that up, although I'm not at all sure who owns this car. I'm certain it's not him.

Ok, I think I need to put a few things in writing to help me better focus on dream goals, ld induction, etc.

I. Dream scene change

- try at least 5 different scene change techs and improve on their efficiency

II. Dream place tourism

- visit interesting places (may include some of last year's toty locations)

III. Visualization

- visualize core set of objects and montly objects and perfect summoning in dreams

IV. Scene selection WILD/from scratch DILD

- enter dream with predetermined scene elements /location

V. Element manipulation

- improve element manipulation skills

VI. Thought/Self control

- practice mindfulness in dreams and manipulate self

VII. Complementary induction

A. Listen to personalized audio 300 times and comment on usefulness

B. Other induction techs (to be updated later)

Edit: corrected IV.
