This dream likely started somewhere earlier, but I have a gap in my memory here.

The first thing I remember was that I was flying a few meter above the forest of a ridiculously huge mountain, it went down at an angle of around 45°, and I was aiming for a very certain person, which was marked with a blue symbol in my vision. There were a few trees which were higher than others, the color was a dark, strong green and it was a bright and pleasant day. Soon I reached the bottom, and barely managed to stop without colliding with anything since I picked up quite a pace. Down there also was one exceptionally big tree. I landed gently, the ground was covered with some very light gras patched. Somewhere here I became lucid, once again through realization only. I didn't really do anything fancy though and lost lucidity fast. From here I only remember I found the person I was searching for and sat down on the table were he/she was waiting. The table was big enough fo 6 people and there seemed to be more tables and other things around.

Well, I wish I would've stayed lucid so I could've made something out of it, but I got lucid again after barely more than a week, so now I'm definitely sure that things are looking up.

I went to bed as usuall though had some minor difficulties falling asleep, combined with my alarm-clock being wrongly set and thus waking me up to early this meant that my DR tonight wasn't amazing, but it was decent nonetheless.

1. The Far Cry experience

I arrive at school and meet up with one of my co-students, he seems very stressed and I ask him what's wrong. He tells me he way too late for an oral-exam of Geography, suddenly I'm stressed too and I join him as we walk towards the classroom where it will take place. We take the back entrance to the school and go up 3 floors (which is one too high from IRL), we walk down the hallway and see more students, I look around as this is a part that I've never seen before (it doesn't exist IRL so no wonder it's all new...). At the end of the hallway it takes a turn to the right which joins this section with the old school. (which does have 3 floors IRL) However I go left and enter a large classroom, there my Geography teacher awaits us and we take a seat infront. Next to me stands Vaas (a character/the main villain from the game 'Far Cry 3'), he presents his newest film to us and so the projector starts the film on the canvas. Suddenly I'm inside the film and held hostage by Vaas, I'm stuck in some ruins with a chain around my leg. I see some rebels walking around and start silently breaking the chain around my leg with a hammer of some sort. As the chain starts to get weaker Vaas suddenly walks towards me and notices the nearly broken chain.
This is what he tells me:

"You know, have I ever told... the definition of insanity?

I see all these fucking people doing the same shit over and over, expecting that their actions will have a different outcome from the previous time they did it, YET IT DOESN'T FUCKING CHANGE!

You see, you're trying to break this chain... HEY LOCO I'M TALKING TO YOU YOU PIECE OF SHIT!!!

You see this fucking chain?!

The more you try breaking it, the stronger it'll get!"

He smashes the chain with another hammer which repairs it and makes it glow dark red.
He walks back behind some ruined wall and takes a shit on a toilet there, some rebels run away closing their nose. As he walks back I can suddenly stand up and the chain appears to be extremely flexible and elastic, allowing me to almost move around freely. I walk with him around the shore and suddenly a ship nearly runs us over, Vaas starts laughing and I jump of the ship using the ruins to get higher ground first.
Suddenly I'm back in the classroom and the film ends, Vaas asks me wether I liked the film or not. I said "Yes but I think your previous one was better...", "That was called 'The Far Cry experience' I think".

2.Under age

I'm in a game-shop buying the game 'Far Cry 3' and there's a assistent of the store helping us, it's Vaas and he's friendly but I know that he could explode any moment. He gave us the wrong articles, a Wii, then a sound-system. My parents kept asking him to do his job good and help us but I quickly told them to stop and just let him do his thing. When we got to the counter the cashier told me I had to give my ID cause you had to be 18 years old minimum for this game. I hesitated and told him if it was really needed, he got quiet annoyed and I threw my ID on the counter with a deep sigh.

I'm in a makeshift department store, crowded to the ceiling with miscellaneous objects. Everything is precariously perched in large piles and has a distinctly run down appearance. Suddenly the ground trembles and the stacks of junk sway dangerously. Around the corner of one of the aisles comes a monstrous, bright red tyrannosaurus rex, it's mouth slobbering drool and it's beady little eyes fixed on me. (This part of the dream becomes hazy and I only remember that the location keeps changing).

**
I'm walking on a hill overlooking a lake and Neymar calls for me to pass him the ball. When I do, he turns and punts it out into the middle of the lake.
"Dude! What the hell?!" I yell over to him.
Giving me an apologetic look, he runs down the hill and starts swimming towards the ball. This sequence repeats maybe 4 times, then I don't remember any more dreams.

***********
The t-rex looked just like the Bloodfen Raptor, I think I've been playing too much hearthstone.

The Cruise

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I´m on a cruise in the caribbean sea. All my friends are there, german and american. We´re docking and go shopping in a big mall. I meet a guy I really dislike and beat him up. We return to the cruise ship, which now looks like a pirate ship, wooden and really big. I find out it has 3 floors. The machine room, the living quarters and a restaurant under the blue sky. I ask a guy how deep the water is and he answers: 44m/144ft. I look down and see a book laying on the ground but I forget about it quickly. I find out one of my friends cooperated with the FBI and I´m getting thrown off the ship.
I wake up on the beach, stand up and decide to go find the ship. I meet two of my american friends, they tell me the hole story and I start swearing in english (from that moment on the hole dream is in english). I find my way back to the ship, and go straight to the captain´s room. It´s Chow from "The Hangover" and he does his weird laugh...I wake up.

I am in my dad's neighborhood, at the south end of our street. I'm facing the house on the hill on the other side of the street, and see a round table on the hill. My cousin J is here and he sits at the table. I look back and about 4 other men his age, all wearing Sun glasses, are sitting around him at the table. I get the impression that J shouldn't be there. The men start looking hostile when suddenly ropes fly through the air and end up piercing the skin on their heads. The ropes go taunt and the men are all strung up, hanging.

Something to do with one of my classic dream signs. I am swimming near the shore of the ocean and large waves come in and crash down on me making it difficult for me to keep myself from drowning.

I was in some kind of restaurant or nightclub sitting with a large group of dream characters. I'm going to skip over what are discussion was about as it was very immature and inappropriate.

I know that I got lucid. I cannot recall what induced the lucidity, or what the situation was prior, but I do recall that it was only momentary before I awoke.

Fragment
I was on a train platform. It felt futuristic. I believe the trains was a high speed monorail? The train platform went to several locations (i.e... stairs leading to the city center, one heading to a museum, one heading to a performing arts center, etc...). It was a massive train depot.

I took the stairs to the museum. Inside, I remember a giant marble statue of Atlas holding up the Earth. It was the only piece of art there. Surrounding Atlas were two giant marble staircases spiraling up around both sides of the statue. I realized that I was dressed in riot gear and had some kind of a rifle in my hands (again, it looked futuristic). After I realized this, I ran up the stairs and into the hallway where a small battle was taking place. I ran through the hallway to a front position, behind a pylon jutting from one of the walls and I started shooting toward a door at the end of the hallway.

Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

Lucid #215: Hubris

I’m in the office with my friend Z, talking to him about lucid dreaming. I’m in my rolling chair pulled up next to his desk, my foot rudely up on the wall like I was raised in a barn.

I’m telling a story about a guy who was trying to do shared dreaming. I tell Z, “And what he didn’t even realize is that she was in a completely different time zone!” I say this like it’s some kind of punchline and wait for him to laugh. He doesn’t react and I think, Wait, that’s not funny. Not even a little bit. I check my state and realize that I’m dreaming.

Z has vanished, so I get up out of the chair, thinking over my goals. Okay, take things slow at the beginning, then summon Dreamer. I hit the nose pinch reality check and breathe right through. I keep the nose pinch clamped on and enjoy the feeling of breathing in and out through pinched fingers.

I wander slowly around the office, which has grown to about three times its normal size. There are cardboard boxes of paper scattered here and there, something I’ve never seen in the actual office. I walk over to the kitchen, look out at the fridge and spot an extra water cooler that wasn’t there before.

When I return to the office there are more and more boxes of paper. When I notice this, they seem to multiply every direction that I look. An older guy, a well-dressed, gray-haired man in his early 50s, walks through the door and nods a greeting at me before wandering off.

Suddenly I become obsessed with keeping the dream stable and start congratulating myself on what a bang-up job I’m doing of keeping all of this held together. I start thinking of my sleeping body back in bed and wonder what position I’m sleeping in. How cool it is that I’m here and “it’s” over there! I wonder if I’m sleeping on my side right now. Am I breathing in and out at the same rate as I am in the dream?

This stream of boastful thoughts continues for a while until my self-congratulation peters out into... an awakening in my bed.

One thing that's really cool about this dream is that I can still feel some of it.

Lucidity: 7/10
Control: 6/10
Vivacity: 8.5/10

I have a false awakening in my room. I check reality without really paying attention when I realize that I actually have too much fingers (don't remember how many). I rub my hands together as I walk out of my room. I decide to have fun with a girl. I rub my hands together, expecting a girl I know in the living room (everything is the same as in real life). I rub my hands together again.
Ok no more than a minute. Don't waste this whole lucid dream on sex.
I start with a kiss but I can clearly see that it's not going to be fun with her. I try to spawn another girl but my dog appears instead.
Really? F*ck you, subconscious.
I grab the girl's boob and start walking away.
It's better to do something else anyway.

My mom walks out of her room, and I follow her into the kitchen. She doesn't seem to see me, so I shout "MOM!" a few times and poke her on the shoulder. She seems to only hear me a very little bit, so I go and write something on a paper (?).
My mom finds the paper and says something like "I can only see two Cs (Ds?) on there."
I'm starting to think that this could be an OBE (it's not, me and my mom are sleeping at my grandparent's), probably because every thing in the dream is the same as in real life.

I walk through the living room again, and into the backyard. I remember the failed "fun with girl" attempt earlier and decide to try again.
I try to materialize someone in front of me but it doesn't work. So, I turn around, imagine her behind me, and turn around again. There she is.
No. you know what? No. This is a dream, I should do something more special.
I look at a pool on my right.
Waterbending.
I concentrate on the water, but the people inside it are making it harder. I try to do telekinesis on a guy who was sleeping on the ground, but my control sucks. I shout "more control !" and after reflection I add "more telekinesis !" (what about Sage Mode ?). Then I rip the ground under the sleeping guy and throw him in the pool by telekinesis.
His friends are upset, and one of the guys run at me. I throw him and another guy in the pool too, still using telekinesis.
Then, I walk closer to the guy I just threw, and I decide to combine waterbending and regular telekinesis together. I hold my left hand out, and close it. The water around him closes onto his lower body, and he gets shot upwards.
The guy lands onto the ground, and I nod at him. I get in the "Kamehameha position."
"Ka..."
He smiles and gets in the same position as me, facing me.
"Me..."
A ball of energy appears in my hands and in his.
"Ha... me... HA !"
... We both miss
My Kamehameha goes too much to the right and his to the left. We both drop our hands down like "aww."
I have a false awakening, in which I was mimicking the kamehameha (lol). I almost checked reality but I ended up being chased by a killer

Remembered no dreams tonight, only an image on my head of me browsing reddit.

at first i didnt know wheater iw as in the movie or not. it was this apocalyptic one where everyone was zombies but they had somewhat conciousness and they could talk to eachother. i tried to save matt jajeh but i coudlnt get him to the ospital. then i left from sitting with my sister and instead went in the front row. but there was this gay kid there who kept hitting on me i told him to back off. then i sat in the back row and this girl joined me. my whole rugby tea watched me try to hook ujp with her a nd notl some kid on the team was mad that i wasnt nice to the gayk kid.

later i had to escape from this snow prism and iwas with stewie and he got sucked through the phone. he hit some chick with a bike and ran away.

Last night i dreamed about unpacking the foc.us tdcs device , its a tDCS device that i want to buy to induce lucid dreams, the funny thing is that i asked my self how i can be unpacking it while i didn't even order it but failed to recognize it was a dream since i really wanted to try it so i didn't care about reasoning so much, the device looked old and used and i wondered again how can it be used when am the one unpacking it , but failed to get lucid again .

Morning of June 23, 2014. Monday.



This was a very long dream. Much of the first part takes place at distorted composite locations, although one location is much like a slightly bigger and slightly different version of my sister Marilyn’s house. I am with my wife and Marilyn is around, alive, and at a younger age (about forty, I think). There is a scene involving cassette tapes and some sort of idea of dubbing or recording over them while keeping much of the original material (done by removing the erase head, but some clarity is still lost). I am not sure if this is a good idea, although there may also be a few copies of the same material.

At one point, there are two used gold-colored cartridges (from a rifle) standing upright on a taller desk or shelf (on its left side) near the right of the front door when going out. This seems important for some reason, as if it is some sort of wedding memento (regarding my sister) or some such. There is also an idea that my brother-in-law Bob is not in the house very often (and is away for days). This is a recurring theme - my wife and I now living at my sister’s old house in the USA even though my sister lived in a different house sometime after I moved to Australia.

Later, oddly, we are living at the “Green Acres” (television show) house. However, there are very large “hidden” sections toward the back of the house, several of which are far bigger than the house itself, yet somehow were never known about or accessed prior - or perhaps because they are partly within a different dimension. These hidden rooms are some sort of Aztec temples, with a very large number of artifacts along the walls on built-in shelves or wall recesses, many of them stylish statues of somewhat frog-like (or very short and chubby) humans. A visitor to our house uses some sort of electronic device and is able to get information from the artifacts by placing it near them - and an “ancient” but slightly electronic-sounding voice gives information or stories (or even a prayer or chant) related to the item. This device can “read” anything using some sort of invisible holographic rays to both identify it and replay any more significant audio that occurred at any time within range of the object as well as express an anthropomorphic “identity” of what the object “thinks” it is or how it “feels”, even relating to any implied uniqueness.

The longest section comes when I have my own laser rifle, which I find in the temple. There are several other people that join me as I mostly just wander around. I show people what it does a few times. Mostly, I aim it at the floor of an implied hallway in one construction site (somehow being on the second or third floor) and a hole forms, almost as if the area is melting and “peeling” back from the center. The laser itself is mostly red; sometimes a sort of unusual orange color. The other workers do not seem that concerned or annoyed by this disruption from my antics. I and the others walk through the city. At various points, I notice more and more features of this laser rifle, including a longer partially “skeletal” stock that opens out from one side and locks into place, making it about twice as long. Another feature is like a clipboard with an actual real-time instruction manual that also swings out from near the middle and locks into place on one side on the left.

Before I wake, I see an unusual prism-like and (four “leaves”) clover-shaped organic “platform”, almost button-like, on the surface of the palm of my left hand (slightly to the lower left side), implying some sort of blood clot or some such - which created this raised tissue on my hand. It is harder than muscle and a reddish color. As is often the case, my hand seems larger/magnified somehow or “closer” in the dream. This has been a typical aspect of my dreams since earliest memory, that is, body parts seeming “closer” or larger as if my vision was different.

Split into fragments.

1. Playing through Super Metroid, only something is different. Sprites from the original nes game are spliced into this game. The most notable instance (and the only one I can accurately recall), is Kraid taking on his original chibi form.

2.I'm fully aware there was something before this, but I can't remember it. Either way, A young woman with black hair who looked like an older version of Asuka from Tekken, in terms of facial features, had apparently helped me and my family out with something and we were now on opposite ends of a ravine. She gave a confession of some kind and narrowly avoided a rather sudden boulder, which destroyed the only bridge across this ravine and led to her falling in it. What was once a bottomless pit, turned into a lake of lava, with a rock platform bouncing up due to a geyser and catching the girl. The platform swiftly gave way, but someone in our party was able to save her at the last second.

3.Me and my sister are stood outside a supermarket, waiting for someone. My grandma, wearing truly hideous clothes, walks up to the shop, gives a greeting to us and enters. A man who looks to be in his thirties walks up to my sister and they leave together. What follows is a third-person view of my sister and the man, who are sat next to each other, using different computers. The only image I can remember on any of the monitors is a card game that looks like solitaire. Periodically, he will glance at her monitor and make amendments to whatever she is doing. These include entering passwords, closing webpages and opening new ones.

4. Outside my college, which has got a brand new park build right at its doorstep. Only images I remember are a bench and a view of the back wall of an interior courtyard.

5. Me and my friends are in an IT suite playing various Nintendo games on PC. Only one that stands out is a demo of the new smash bros that I remember only displayed the title screen, which was a fusion of the two box arts, having the characters and positions of the 3ds version with the fire of the wii u version.

6. Me and my friends are in a rush to get away from somewhere. A general feeling of panic is prevalent. We locate a plane and enter. The interior is typical for a plane, with the exception of the pilot's and passenger's area being conjoined with each row consisting of four seats. I immediately dash to the front of the plane, intending to fly it, but Mark (one of my friends) beat me to it, so I take the co-pilot's seat. Two others sick next to us. What follows is flight around Leads at a dangerously low altitude, whilst we joke, laugh and generally forget our panicked beginnings.

June 22, 2014

---

I was with a really mixed group of my friends; Zukin was there, as were at least two people from high school (my ex and Annie, one of my best friends), as well as some people I know from random times of my college career. We were all sitting at a table in some sort of large cafeteria-type place. Maybe a dorm's dining hall on campus? Now that I think about it, all of the people i nthe group, even the ones from highschool, went to my college, except for Annie.

Anyways. I digress too much. We were sitting at a large table, deciding what to do for Spring Break, which was in a few weeks. Zukin and I suggested we all go to Germany and/or Austria. The group liked the idea of that, and so we loosely decided to make it happen. We all went our separate ways.

About a week later (one and a half weeks until SB). I was walking around downtown, when i saw one of the girls from the group, a friend from high school (actually, from middle school! Wow. Known her a long time) was walking dwn the street with bright, bright orange hair. I asked her what was up, and she said she had gone to the salon to get her hair colored, and they'd told her she could walk around outside while the color set. She'd gone walking around, and forgotten to go back, and her hair had turned bright orange like this. She was skeptical about whether or not she would be going on the trip or not because of this. I told her it looked awesome (I love orange) and that even if she didn't like it, she could just re-dye it before the trip. She said she'd get back to me about it.

Jump ahead about half a week, and I'm online, looking at flight prices. I found a super great deal, and booked it right away, then messaged everyone in the group about it. They all said they would get the tickets very soon...

Jump again to the day before we leave for the trip; I am staying the night at Annie's apartment and for some reason my ex needed a place to stay that night, so Annie invited him, too. We all talked about the trip, and I found out that Annie had forgotten to get her ticket, so I was really worried that she wouldn't be able to go anymore, but we got online and found that tickets were still available for that flight.

The next morning, we all met up at the airport. It's the same airport that's always in my dreams. This airport is... a bit hard to describe. It's got bits from all the airports I've ever been in, as well as some aspects of Grand Central Station in Chicago and some of the train stations Zukin and I went to in Germany (like the entrance of Stuttgart HBF) The airport is even more maze-like than most real airports, causing my dream self to have gotten lost multiple times... There are also two different runways that I've seen in this airport...

Anyways, we got to Germany in one piece. I don't remember much about the plain ride. We got to Germany, and I got the rental car we'd arranged. Zukin and I went, by memory, to a campsite we had gone to in Austria before. But the road there was like the one in the beginning of Spirited Away. We were all in two cars, since we were so many people, and at some point the other car lost us. But at that point it was just one road and they couldn't go the wrong way without tearing through gobs of trees, so we didn't worry about them.

Oh. Did I mention we were all in full larp gear? Well, we were. Apparently the campsite in Austria was having a special event for larpers. Zukin and I were trying to get them all into larp.

We park the car when we reach the site, get out, and head toward the registration desk. There are so many people. It's more like a ren-fair than a larp event. At least, there were way more people than any larp event I've been to. We lost one of the guys in the group (oddly enough, the one person in the group that wasn't a person I know IRL)

Mel (the one I've known since middle school) asked, "Where's Bret (or Brad. I couldn't hear too well over the noise of the larpers around us) Garrett?"
"I dunno. The reservation is under his name though..."
I waved my hand. "He'll be fine, and I can speak German so it's all good."

We got up to the desk and I asked in German if we could check in. The women responded in English, with a pretty fake accent. "Name?"
"It'll be under Bret (or Brad) Garrett."
The woman, who was rather large but very very friendly looking, looked through some papers, and then handed them to me, adding, "You know, you can stay for free if you go into the woods, have a drink, and tell three strangers you love them."

I went back to the group and told them about the deal. Everyone seemed pretty okay with it, and as we were heading toward the woods, Bret/Brad came hastily over, hiding behind us. "Those guys jumped out of nowhere and started singing weird shit at me...!" I turned and saw a group of young men, each with an instrument, singing love songs to Bret/Brad. I think the people from the other car were just joining us as I woke up. I was laughing at Bret/Brad.
