I had a pretty vivid and long non-lucid before this but wont journal that one. Note this lucid was not supp induced but I was able to sleep in like most of my lucids in the past. I was in a house, I guess it was my house but looked nothing like it. Apparently there was someone inside and I was looking for them. I heard a voice, I don't know if it was in a headset or just a magical voice, but they were kind of doing a play by play of what I was doing I guess. I remember walking toward the bathroom and the voice saying "The alarm system says there is motion on the first floor"; which I thought was stupid cause I was walking on the first floor. I had my gun out and was walking around with it drawn ready to shoot at whatever had broken in. I looked at my gun and saw there was pink spray particles on it, I found this odd and did a RC. Lucid: As soon as I became lucid the whole area lightened up quite a bit. I almost felt drunk and non coordinated and felt like the dream was really going collapse. I grabbed a few things and then I did telekinesis on a blanket to further solidify that I was in fact in a dream. It lifted with ease. I was next to a patio door and decided to go out it, I was in the mood to fly. I kind of sloppily went out the door and stumbled into some stacked boxes on the back patio. The yard was huge and I could see a large field across a street and it was filled with RVs/motor homes. I then took to the air quite easily and flew a bit toward the RV field, then saw a street. The cars on the street were all dark color and their headlights were on. I began flying against the flow of traffic. I wanted to fly through one of the cars. For some reason I just got a little bit closer and closer but could not get down to the level of the cars. Oh also it seemed like all the cars had big sheets of paper on their windshields, like huge flyers I guess. So anyways every time I missed a car I gasped for air, after I flew over a couple more cars it seemed like the gasps got louder and louder. I am not sure if I was doing this in my waking body or not but I thought I was so I woke myself up.
I am standing in my front yard near a tree and I notice a large amount of tree sap on the side of the tree. I suddenly get the urge to eat it so I take a chunk of it off the tree and I eat it. I chew it slowly and it's really delicious so I eat more. Then my next door neighbor comes over and starts eating some and he's like, mmmmmm this is so good.
I was driving in a parking lot, looking for a space to park. SM was in the passenger seat looking for a space as well. We finally found a space in the rear of the parking lot near a row of what looked like town houses. I don't remember getting out of the car or walking through the parking lot. My next recollection was that I was now in the rear of a rather large banquet room (the kind like you would find in a hotel). There was no carpet and the room wasn't really all that decorated. I just remember the stage at the front and the 30 or 40 sets of tables and chairs. It felt like I was in the process of setting up music equipment, not on the stage but in the back of the room. I had it in my mind that I was going to play there. I have vague memories of actually playing and some of the people I saw there, but I don't know if that is just me adding to the dream or that it was part of the dream. Basically, I don't really remember the banquet. The next recollection was me walking through the parking lot. It was a nice day. Warm. Blue skies. I ran into BR and his wife who were shuffling thing around in the trunk of their car. They called me over and asked me to look at something. BR's wife handed me a piece of paper and somehow I got the impression that it was their kid's homework. I don't really think she said that it was, but I just got the idea that it was. She pointed to the answer for question #7 and asked me what language it was. I looked at it for a few moments, the words weren't all that clear. Then they came into focus and somehow I recognized it a "Nepalese". BR looked at me. He was kind of stunned and I think a little angry. "Right" he sighed and took the paper from me. I shrugged and started walking toward my car. Weird thing was that I saw my car and must have walked right passed it. The next thing I remember was thinking, "damn... I walked right passed my car." I turned around to see how far I was from it and realized it was dark. Night time! I saw my car, it wasn't that far away. I put a guitar case into the trunk and realized that I had more stuff back at the banquet hall. I remember being concerned about my stuff being there and thinking someone was going to steal something. Then, bam! I was in the banquet hall standing right in front of the stage in front. All my music stuff was there. So was ES, whom I haven't seen in at least 20 years. He was still a kid, probably around 13 or so. He was talking to me, but I don't recall the conversation. I just remember him talking. I looked at my stuff and felt a little worried because there was too much for me to take in one trip. The thought of having to walk back and forth kind of annoyed me. I just remember standing there wondering how I could get it all in one trip.

Fragment: From the Sea I've just scaled a wall, and am hanging over the top of it, resting on the top of the wall on my stomach. On the other side of the wall is ocean. From beneath the water, something large and grey jumps up at me, and all I see are twisted teeth fly by my face. Again this thing jumps out, and I see it's a retarded looking seal. It seem super friendly and keeps jumping up at me with the enthusiasm of a big stupid dog.
I've been doing reality checks using a broken watch stopped at 1:42.58seconds pm. It's a really heavy and chunky watch I often notice myself wearing as well doing regular reality checks. I wasn't sure if being broken my totem would work, watches don't work properly in dreams and therefore would my watch remain broken fooling me. Anyway I was at the pool and doing a regular half hour reality check. I looked down at my watch, then did a double take. My watches hands were rapidly quivering. It was like they wanted to do what they had been made for, but couldn't. I was pretty stoked. Don't remember using my lucidity, however next morning I had an amazing trip after a WBTB, did heaps of experiments like making people vanish, object change colour, levitation... all sorts. I was on quite a drought till then.
my mother is getting married in three weeks, not a good excuse to let this be put on the back burner but here are a couple dreams I did remember to write down: 5/10 My old house christmas decorations Shane Basil garage door 4 5/12 I was housesitting 3 dogs at E and G's. E asked me to take a home-brew kit to Craig. Walked to his house and he was baby-sitting 2 kids, they were taking pictures to use as blackmail for his wife.There was a screened in dark porch that isn't there in waking life. Something came over me and I kissed him. We went out onto the porch and I came then melted into a new scene of a white car racing around the lake 2 valets were talking about being able to get on a boat that summer and how E was rich. Rich did something to the car,he wasn't happy with them. At Kroghs Shane was by the line and everything was pretty normal, too many people in the kitchen, but even the bar looked the same. Aunt A was there with Aunt M eating a brownie sundae , I was eating a chix fiesta or something. Undercooked? Melted into spreading a blanket between Rich and E. Craig had done all this work on the outside of the house, walking on the mulch, dirt flowers between two yards, it was beautiful. I covered Rich's driveway in a blanket, was trying to get the cars on top of the blanket and it got messed up. 5/18 There was a huge beach enclosed with giant rocks, Steve was there looking for someone. I was in the water and kept getting pulled over to the rocks. On the other side there were underwater caves. They were searching for someone at the bottom, a very long way down, every time I swam there was never anyone there. Thought I saw two bodies in the flashlights glow. We found an old man. We all put our goggles on and I told him he was missing out on life. I told him to look underwater and there were these beautiful fish of all different colors, orange, purple. Plankton-like. He took us further and further into the cave and there was a family, a hidden air pocket in the cave and it transformed into a house. At first I was scared but then I kept saying we have to keep this in the family, this little cave house. In case there is an apocalypse? I was standing in front of a window that was looking out at a street from a sewer angle. I went outside and the others went out to the water, ( a beach scene appeared) there was a mailbox and it contained neighbors mail, it was Charlie U's a boy I grew up with in the shape of a bear. Picked it up and brought it to the house and the mail became Zanders mail a Mothers Day card for his mom. Very long. I started reading it. 5/25 My old street some guy with a hammer that I think was beating someones face in. mom nick allie, dad. Mom and me in the bath. I feel like a little kid, she's washing me with some facial scrub, my hair felt really weird. We all fall asleep in my parents old bed . dad comes home late from work and falls asleep with us. I'm on the boardwalk by the lake and the waves are huge and crashing up on the side. Some kind of school we all walk outside and its really dark. Lightning something goes up in the air, like a big telephone horizontally Keith and I are drinking coffee together out of white mugs. We switch mugs by accident and I don't tell him. Melts into some kind of apocalyptic survival adventure..large open staircase?
I am just going to go on record and state that most of my dreams of late have been in a post-apocalyptic dystopian setting. I was walking down the street accompanied by someone, I am not actually sure that I knew who they were, and we were looking to buy some food (although I knew that I already had a brown paper bag in my backpack with something to eat in it). We then boarded a bus, I looked around and I noticed that it was very dirty, run down and most of it was destroyed. I saw that most of the windows were broken but it still functioned so I sat down in the back row. I opened my backpack, pulled out the brown paper bag and looked inside. I pulled out a sausage roll and a vegetarian pastie and I will admit that I felt a bit disappointed because I didn't want to eat either of those things. I looked through the windowless window and realised that I had to get off of the bus at the next stop and as it slowed to a halt, I got up and moved toward the door, unfortunately the door was stuck fast and wouldn't open so the guy I was hanging with and I had to make an improvised exit through one of the broken windows. After climbing out through the window, I started walking towards the rear of the bus to cross the road when I saw a man and woman arguing. She was a tall woman with brown hair and she was holding a dog lead. He was a shorter fellow, shorter than her and rotund in appearance. He wore a button up shirt that was unbuttoned over a brown T-shirt that had some writing on it. Not much unlike the guy at the end of the Fatboy Slim 'Right here, Right now' film clip. I didn't know why they were arguing but I realised as I got closer that she was unhappy about the writing on his shirt. It was then that I saw it, the writing said something along the lines of "food is scarce, pets aren't" and there was an outline of a little dog betwixt a knife and a fork, as I drew up next to them, at the point where I needed to cross the road, I saw the woman's dog for the first time. It was a little ankle biter of a dog, it's front half was brown and it's back half was like a leopard skin print. I thought it was the strangest thing I had ever seen. I crossed the road and got to the building where I was headed. I opened my backpack and up until this point I had no idea why I was going there but I suddenly 'remembered' that I was there to see a movie in the cinema but I couldn't seem to understand why there was a cinema underneath a football stadium. There was a game on at that very minute, it was a night match between the Essendon Bombers and the Collingwood Magpies. Neither are teams that I like very much, so I am not certain about that either. I remember thinking: "How am I going to hear the movie over all of the cheering of the football fans?" I walked into the cinema and sat down in a seat in the row against the back wall, which for some reason only had three seats in it and all of the rest of the rows had different amounts of seats that were haphazardly placed at seemingly random intervals. I pulled out the food out of my backpack and settled in to watch a movie.
Very vivid one today. Found myself in a mechanical and somewhat bland room, with a dull red glow. Some stuff happened, but I can't recall anything until I found myself fighting alongside some people, as well as Thane from Darksiders, against some alien creatures. Can't recall exact design, but they were slightly larger than humans and quite bestial in appearance. We successfully drove them back, though some of our party died in the process. A general theme of doom and despair followed. Apparently (the knowledge just came to me at this point), we traveled through a wormhole to an alien planet, only for our ship to crash. We discovered an alien ship (our current whereabouts) and set it up as a base. Then, the creatures attacked. After driving them off, we found out that this ship had no power and, so, resigned ourselves to death. Until Liam (a member of our party and a friend in real life), glitched through a bizarrely designed ventilation shaft, that consisted of a series of tiny corridors in the walls, with a glass panel allowing us to see inside. This "glitch", as it was described in dream, resulted in fuel, which would have ordinarily been created by the generator (a bit odd), filling the ventilation, which was (God knows why) connected to the main engines. Now with power to the ship, I remember doling out commands to the party, before we prepared to leave. Then, I woke up.
