Hey guys! It's been forever since I've been on here, but I feel like it's time to get back into dream journaling. Lots of things have changed in my life since I was last on here. I am now married, I have a new job, and I have a fairly popular poetry blog on Tumblr (message me if you are interested in reading ). Since being on here last, I have still had lucid dreams, but not as many, though the ones I have had have actually been quite meaningful. I am delving quite far into spiritual teachings these days, not seemingly able to get enough, and it has shown in my dreams. In a recent lucid, I discovered a woman I met at work has been in all of my past lives, and various other things. Crazy stuff!! Can't wait to start writing it down again! I love going back and reading my journals. It is very interesting to piece together the events of the dreams, the recurring themes and such, with the events that were unfolding in my life at that time. Try it sometime with your own! So fascinating. Well, tomorrow I will start journaling again. See you all then! Happy dreaming!
Last night I had some difficulties falling asleep again and DR wasn't the best but I must say the dream that I had felt and still feels quiet important to me. 1. Stand and fight I'm somewhere in California or just somewhere in America with large forests and warm temperatures, it's sunset and I'm enjoying a walk through the forest. I cross some small crooks using small bridges made of 4 logs. I feel like this is summer camp or something and I'm pretty young. (I never went to camps when I was younger IRL.) Suddenly the dream teleports me, I'm back myself and I'm in the same forest but a different location. As I look down the very long dirt road infront of me with at the end a road and buildings (Mabye 250 meters far?) I hear a growl behind my back. I turn around and see a large dark bear standing there, he stares at me with a hungry expression. For 3 seconds I'm frozen and thinking about the best thing to do, my rational minds tells me to remain steady and stare back cause that's what you're told to do when you see a bear, yeah? But my instinct is more powerfull and forces me to run the other way as fast as I can. After 5 seconds of running I realise I made the wrong decision and now the bear thinks I'm a prey, I hear his growling getting closer and closer and his footsteps smashing the ground beneath him. 20 meters further I feel my legs are extremely tired and I know I can't run from this thing, he will tear me in pieces! But then the most important part of the dream happens, atleast what I think makes it so special. I turn around and see the bear storming at me and he's about 5 meters away from me, I quickly grab a pocket knife (IRL I've never had one.) and try pulling the knife out of the device. I think to myself "If I can't run away from you, then I will not give up without a fight." By the time I ready the knife the bear is just 1 meter infront of me and tries to attack. I dodge it and stab him in his upper neck, the knife barely pierces the thick fur and leathery skin but I see some blood. The bear keeps attacking and after several more stabbings the dream teleports again and I look down on the corpse of the bear, which is completly covered in blood. Now the reason why I think this dream is so important is cause I just defeated a true nightmare, for the first time in my life. I don't have to worry about it returning or something cause I ended it right then and there. It also shows a bit of who I am as a person I think, I like to ignore and walk away from problems that aren't extremely important but when they do get big I usually solve them really well.

DEILD (previous dream:Chapter One: The hulking bounty-hunter.) The transition happened quick and effortless, I found myself in my old house, I teleported back to the cafe of Chapter One and noticed that I already had Vulture's appearance. I went outside and began to ask random DC's about this guy, it was hard because I didn't get any name, but then an old lady remembered seeing him in the outskirts (which happened to be a desert) I flew there using my Wind Manipulation powers, he was creating something. It was the guy alright, he stood up, he just talked to me without turning around "Are you one of those bounty hunters?" I took a battle stance, he turned around and seemed to be holding some kind of trading card, I couldn't see what was on it but I heard him shout "Come forth, Varass!" he threw the card away and it exploded, suddenly a vicious, purple dragon flew where the card was thrown. I prepared myself, sand was beginning to fly calmly around me like an aura, I began attacking the dragon, using the sand as sickle like projectiles, he could evade some of them, but I had hit him in his leg and in his tail, he cried out in pain, suddenly I saw that guy throwing another of these trading cards at me, while shouting "Fireball!" it turned into a fireball and I could just barely evade it, I took his foot and threw him away with a hand I created from the sand underneath him, after I threw him I ran upto the dragon and impaled him with a spear made of sand, it dissapeared quickly. I formed a sand sword and ran at the guy, I had enough of him, eventhough I was impressed at his power, it even gave me an idea for a new persona, heh. But as I wanted to hit him, he teleported away, without a trace, I looked around for him some more, but then the dream began to fade, I wanted to go do another DEILD, but my sis woke me up.
WILD I recognized a micro-awakening around 4-5AM, I stayed still and SP hit me fairly quickly, The dream created around me and I found myself in a large city, I noticed I had a womanly body and suddenly remembered Vulture, I morphed into her and decided to begin her story here, the name of this city was appearantly Maetropol. I decided to take control just a tiny bit to advance the story somewhat, I went into a small alley (I envisioned a bounty hunter café there) I went inside, many bounty hunters were there, all with their unique style, I went up to the bartender and asked for a job, he just laughed at me and said "aren't you a little young kid?" after that I got pushed away by this hulking guy "Leave the bounties to the big guys" I jumped up and yelled in his face "Well, come at me then you incompotent gorilla" He didn't appreciate that remark, he pulled out a large mace and began to smash at me, demolishing some tables and the floor, I decided I had enoug and I went outside, he followed me furiously, I quickly punched the ground and surrounded my two fists with stone. I lunged at him and I had hit him right in the face, he got knocked back a few meters, I quickly fired off those stone gloves at him and he went through to the street where he got hit by a truck. I went back inside, everybody now treating me with respect, I remember a guy coming up to me and telling me I had done a good job, I went back to the counter and asked for my job, I got a discription of a man with brown hair and brown eyes, appearantly he overthrew an evil general not long ago, I'm usually for the good guys, but when I hear what my reward was I immidiately took the job, the reward was 500.000$, I wasn't planning on giving up on that many money. I suddenly felt the dream fade away, I prepared for DEILD right that moment.
I am participating in an airsoft battle at an abandoned military outpost.I am running around,trying not to get hit by enemy fire.While running through the abandoned buildings i run into a bunch of military cadets from the academy, that i could see behind the group, doing some jogging.One of the people in the group is a friend of mine so i decide to sneakily make my way to him so the commanding officer doesnt notice(i distinctly remember that the officer had moustaches).I somehow manage to sneak in without anyone,accept for my friend,noticing.We talk for a while until we cut a corner.There in front of us i see a steep hill rising 2 meters off of the ground and assume that that is where we should go.I sprint ahead and try to climb the hill.I dont think i climbed it the normal way.It is kind of like i am trying to run up while staying vertical,but i am not sure.Anyway,i fail and fall back on the path.While turning around my friend sprints past me and up the hill.He succeeds and makes it but quickly falls back down.I turn around and see him lying on the floor in full MK-5 armor(from Halo),he is having trouble breathing.He is having an astma attack.I start wondering why he does not have an inhaler.I think i was yelling for help but i am not sure.While standing there,i decide to try to calm him down so he can breathe easier.I put my hand under his head and instruct him to try to calm down and controll his breathing.It worked a little bit but he is still having trouble.His older brother runs up to us and he tries to assist me in saving him.We turn around to ask people for help and when we look back,he has died and has turned into a shriveled up piece of skin that i picked off the ground.We are both very sad.The building next to us has a ladder and we climb it to the top and turn into anime characters.His girlfriend also appears.They try to convince me that there was nothing i could have done but i do not agree and leave pissed off.I enter a abandoned factory with the machinery still intact,still angry.I look at the floor and see some kind of fancy sci-fi device,and i feel like i am being watched.I hear an ethereal voice that tells me to pick it up and i do so.I try to figure out how to use but i dont know how,so the voice instructs me to press this not-very-obvious button on the top and it shoots out spider webs.I use the device a couple of times to try it out. Now i am home,exiting my room and going down the stairs into the living room.I decide to test out the device to swing around the room,but the web is too weak to properly carry my momentum.I see a shadow moving above the stairs and swing myself onto them.I see a bluish-gray kitten on the top of the stairs covered in spider webs.I come closer and notice that it is having slight trouble breathing.I assume that it has gotten some into its mouth.I help it and clean the webs off of it and go into my room to find out why that happened.When i enter,i see some shadows behind the window curtain and after moving it,i see three more kittens there hiding in fear of something.They look at the top of my closet and i do the same when suddenly,something starts shooting webs at me. I am exiting a hotel,POV is in 3rd. person.I am chasing down a guy who has stolen something.I try to swing with my web but run out of juice so i run after him at a speed that surprised me. 3rd. person view.Rarity and Applejack are fighting about something on some hill.I am playing Applejack here.After some time,the argument escalates and AJ throws dirt into R's face.R in turn throws motor oil on AJ's head but she doesnt mind since she is a coutry girl.She throws motor oil at R and she gives up.1st. person POV.AJ is looking at R while she is leaving.Environment suddenly transforms into my room and AJ realises she needs to wash her hair so she doesnt have motor oil on her head.She exits the room and finds herself at a crossroads between a bunch of stone corridors that resemble something out of an Egyptian pyramid.No success. I am that chubby blonde actor guy that died recently(too lazy to look up his name).I am in a store,trying to find things to buy.I scan the shelves and find a bunch of gourme food packed into a fancy bag.I remember there was some kind of big orange thing in there that migh have had little balls on it but not sure.I look for a price but i cant see anything.I want to buy it,so i look to my right.There is a cash register in the corner there with two women.I ask one of them if she could tell me the price but she disregards the question and starts talking about what stuff this bag contains.After a while i get the impression that she is telling me that i cant afford it and leave before she got a chance to finish.I was quite annoyed.Now i am me.I look at the shelve where i found this and i still cannot see a price tag.I leave the bag and pick something else instead.I look to my left,where i left my school bag and go there to put the food in it,but on my way there Fillip H. and some other guys i used to go to school with appear out of nowhere and form a circle around me while arguing about where to go next.They do not appear to notice me so i make my way to my bag on the floor so i can put my food in.I manage to get it and they finaly disperse but they leave behind (don't remember his name) J.,who got very upset that they left him there.I turn around to look at his face and he yells at them with an angry expression on his face.
Two more lucids to report! One really short one in which I accomplished nothing, and the WILD from last night that was a failure at my own task, but may at least count toward the TotM. I didn't post my brief failed attempt yesterday, so... 7/10/14 07.10.2014Onward to Fail (DILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I'm talking to my parents, when I reach up to feel my hair and notice that its longer than it should be. It seems to be as long as it was before I cut it short, which means it's well past my shoulders. How could it possibly have gotten so long again? It couldn't have. This only happens when I'm dreaming, I remind myself. I instantly recall the task that I've already failed at once. I'm supposed to find Dreamer and then find an elevator to Hell. I walk off, starting to call for her, but quickly feel myself losing the dream. I try to stabilize it... No luck. I'm pulled into a false awakening. My problem seems to be that I'm too worried about stabilization, which causes me to think too much of my physical body. Since my attention is more on worrying about waking up, I lose the scene. 7/11/14 07.11.2014Critter (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID There are three black widow spiders in front of me, having a conversation. They are neutral to my presence. They also seem to be males, which means they're not venomous. Still, I'm not too keen on being bitten, so I am doing my best to get what I need without coming into contact with them. I reach around their webs, only to be bitten by a different kind of bug. At first I think it's one of the spiders. I jerk my hand back and the bug comes with me. It's this weird blobby thing; I can't really call it an insect because it doesn't have six legs--- it only has four. Still, it's insect-like. It is white and globular; each part of its body looks squishy and balloon-like except for its legs, which are serrated like a grasshopper's. Its body is clearly intended to try to camouflage it as a rabbit. The bug's hind end is equip with blobby extensions made to look like rabbit ears. It's real, insectoid head protrudes from its back. (Although since it seems more like the bug walks upside down and backwards, like a human trying to do a crab walk, I suppose the head is actually protruding from the creature's stomach). It is the size of a small baby rabbit. ((This is the best I could sketch it with my non-existent art skills.)) I stare in awe at the strange creature for a while before I learn it can talk. This surprises me, despite the fact I found talking spiders perfectly normal. His name is Jack and he becomes my friend. 07.11.2014Journey Toward Hell (WILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I'm lying in bed awake with my eyes closed when I feel a slight vibrating feeling that means I'm about to enter sleep. It would be great if I can turn this into a WILD since I wasn't even aiming for that. The vibrations grow stronger, and by the second wave I am fully within sleep paralysis. I figure I can just get up and start the dream. I'm wrong. I open my eyes, but I seem to have opened my physical eyes instead of my dream ones (something that I'm able to do while trapped in SP). When I do, the vibrations feel like they're tearing my head apart. I quickly shut my eyes again. Surely if I just lie here, it'll HAVE to turn into a dream. I wait, but nothing happens except for more uncomfortable vibrations. I try to move, hoping I can just get up and walk into a dream. I'm completely unable to budge a single muscle, phantom or otherwise. Normally I can imaging rolling out of the bed to get the dream going. This doesn't work either. Maybe WILD isn't the best technique for someone who suffers from chronic sleep paralysis anyway. Finally, I'm able to lift my dream arm. I grasp around blindly, reaching for something that I can use to pull myself up out of my body. I reach a dresser and finally manage to succeed in untangling myself from the physical world. I'm standing in my bedroom just in front of the door. I do a quick RC just for good measure, but it's not necessary. I'm already lucid. I run out the bedroom door, ending up in my childhood home. No way am I going to fail at my task this time! I do my best not to think of the dream ending as I exit my house. It's night time and pitch black outside, unlike in real life where the sun has just barely risen. I sprint across the street toward my neighbor's house. I call out for Dreamer, banging on the door. The door swings open and a sleepy looking purple-haired girl stands there staring out at me. Finally! Some hint of success! "I found you!" I exclaim in delight. "Now we've got to find an elevator and make it down to Hell!" I grab her hand and pull her out of the house, trying to convey the necessity for speed. We start to run down the road together, full throttle. "I know where an elevator is," she tells me, seeming to understand what's going on now after her brief confusion. "Follow me!" As we run down the street, she asks me why I'm asleep at such a strange time. At first I don't understand; then I remember that she lives in Australia. "Oh, right. There's a huge time difference between where you are and where I am," I tell her. "Last time I checked, it was 7:00 in the morning here. That seems like a while ago and my alarm is supposed to go off at 7:30, so we really need to hurry!" She leads me to a section of the street that never fails to have some kind of evil within my dreams. I hope this time will be different; I don't need any distractions. Dreamer veers to the right toward a farm that used to have donkeys irl. We run through the dark field toward an outhouse-shaped building. Suddenly, an evil looking farmer in a tractor begins riding toward us. I feel a twinge of fear at his appearance, but I ignore it. We run into the "outhouse" which turns out to be far bigger on the inside than on the outside. I expect there to be an elevator in here. Instead, it's filled with hay and dirt. Dreamer and I climb up and hang from the ceiling like ninja's hoping to hide from the evil farmer. He'll never look up here, I tell myself. He does. He looks up and sees us as soon as he walks into the building. An evil grin spreads across his face. Once spotted, Dreamer and I drop from the ceiling to face him. The man wordlessly turns and pulls a lever by the door. The floor drops away beneath us--- we're falling into a pit which most likely leads to Hell. Dreamer gives me a helpful smile. "Does this count as an elevator?" she asks. I don't think it does. I summon a platform beneath us. It's one of those circular platform elevators that I've only ever seen in video games. There's a vague rumbling noise as the elevator slowly descends deeper and deeper into the ground. It's dark, and there's not much scenery, so I start to become concerned with losing the dream. "Can't this thing move any faster?" I complain. I run from wall to wall, trying to keep focused on the minimal imagery. It's no use. The dream fades and I have a false awakening.
As Kang Chi in modern times, I meet Yeo Wool. She remembers me. We're both shocked. I have a false awakening in which I try to tell IRL friend S. about that dream, and then go on to a few IRL-based scenes - trying to find a place to park in NYC, and trying to form words out of a jumble of letters. (Woke up. Back to sleep.) In the past. Kang Chi and Yeo Wool are meeting up in this hut in the mountains outside of town. They have to separate, and they're being very loudly upset about it. It's just before dawn, and as a 3rd person observer, I'm thinking they must be waking people up in town, they're so loud. Kang Chi's lying on his back in that town at night, looking up at the full moon. It looks massive, taking up most of my field of vision. He's meant to be meeting Yeo Wool soon and traveling somewhere together, but he's convinced himself she won't come anyway - there's something that's happened between them or something she's involved in that's on his mind, but he's not thinking about it directly. He's talking to himself out loud, convincing himself that she won't come and he should just leave on his own. (Woke up. Back to sleep.) Kang Chi's delirious, standing outside somewhere on the edge of that same town and calling for someone he calls brother - not a literal brother. Yeo Wool's trying to get him to move, but as he starts talking like this, she remembers a time in the past when they were in trouble in this same place and Wol Ryung had helped them. He and Kang Chi had called each other brother sometimes - it's partially a reference to being the same species, and partially acknowledging each other as close while sidestepping the complicated family issue. So she realizes that, delirious, Kang Chi's calling Wol Ryung for help. Wol Ryung's dead. Kang Chi and Yeo Wool are traveling together in a very distant place. Yeo Wool's wearing modern clothes - no one else is. They're surrounded by soldiers carrying spears and a froglike nobleman on horseback - not a human being. The two of them raise daggers to their own throats, threatening to kill themselves rather than let the froglike man capture them alive. As Kang Chi, I'm outside and looking through a window at Yeo Wool. There's a luna moth on the window. And then two IRL-based scenes - catching and releasing an insect, and a visit from an IRL sister's friend. (Woke up. Back to sleep.) In modern times, Kang Chi's at a studio where they're filming a movie or a show, and a woman is talking to him, sounding very irritated. Without naming any names, she makes it clear there's been rumors going around about someone who works here being viewed as violent, potentially dangerous. Kang Chi's thinking this is about Yeo Wool - she's recently become nonhuman, and the adjustment period can be rough. Which makes this his responsibility. Without specifically naming names, Kang Chi tries to get the woman to confirm that it's Yeo Wool she's talking about. But Yeo Wool's just appeared at the end of the hall, and the woman says to ask her himself and stalks off. And then an IRL-based scene involving studying Agamemnon.
I was walking by the red-brick church that I often pass in waking when I decide to do a reality check. I count my fingers and I have the correct number. (From now on I think I'm going to stick with the nose pinch reality check, have had more success with it.)
1. I was in some sort of video game and the time was a prequel to halo. In the dream I was flying a huge ship and multiple ships were trying to destroy me, but multiple ships were also friendly, so it seemed an equal fight. I had the biggest ship and it resembled am oval shape and was roughly the size of 20 foot ball fields(estimated guess). It was indeed a big ship. When i got into the firefight all of the other friendly ships were being shot down. Just then 3/4ths of my ship was destroyed and I was left flying it just trying to survive. A hostile enemy ship was continuously firing at me, so i went full speed to try to get out of its range. Some time later I lost all the hostile dudes and was contacted by NASA/ USMC space department and they told me since I made it out first with my ship and I was alive that I needed to come to space, into their territory and there were going to give me a gift. A big gift. Me and my crew all had suspicions that the gift would be some type of ship. Immediately I knew that this ship was the Pillar of Autumn. 2. In a school. I was sitting down next to one of my good friends(Ronald I think) when I decided to get up and go get something. When I returned to my seat some dude was in it. He had blonde hair and was a little bigger than I was. I told him, "Hey you're in my seat. Get out of my seat." and he got really angry and told me about how this was his seat and that I wasnt in it, all that stuff. Soon I decided it wasnt worth it and told him to, "chill, it doesnt matter anymore." But he didnt stop and he got even more furious. He got up out of the seat ready to fight me. Ready to beat this guy's ass in I got up and grabbed a desk ready to beat his head in. The students in the class tried to block the fight by putting other desks in our path so we couldnt reach each other. I tried to get to him but with a desk in my hand I found that jumping over stuff was a bit harder. Soon the teacher came in the class(From who knows where) and separated us. I wasnt going to hurt anyone else who wasnt involved so I cooled off while Jerry( The guy who snapped) was in the other corner. As I walked away (to get out of the class I presume) I heard the students saying about how they thought I was just a normal boy, and then my friend Julia said, "No they've always been real men", in a serious tone referring to me and Jerry. I became a little uplifted with that. 3. I was some sort of huge warehouse looking building when I was with a group of people that were assigned to me. We were playing all these types of games and doing stuff together. In my group I remember having 3 people I knew in real life, Tyler, Riley, and Hailey. At one point we had just finished playing pool and an announcer got on the com and told us to return the pool sticks to where they where stored. Me and my group walked over to the pool storage place and realized that we were simply just playing pool with long, gray pencils. And to put them in storage we had to put those pencils back in their tubes. The storage room had a tunnel space where you would put the pencils, and it led to the outside of the building where a manager was watching us put away our pencils. At the end of that tunnel was some dude that had been hitting on Riley since the beginning of the dream. She didnt have the same feelings so she ignored him. While I walked to the tunnel my friend Tyler started some conflict with me saying he could beat me up and what not. I said, "Ok Tyler since you think you're so tough lets fight, right here, right now". And he said I didnt stand a chance and I laughed. We never fought however, but as I returned to walk to the tunnel I noticed that Tyler had a gray mustache and beard, but his facial hair wasnt full and it looked as though somebody had just drawn it on. I thought nothing of it. As I started putting the pencils away I heard the announcer say we only had 8 seconds left to put our supplies away. I started going faster but I couldnt find any more tubes to put the pencils in so I just gave up and went back to my group. They were all sitting down at a table, so I sat down as well. I talked to Hailey about some girl and stuff. Dont remember much more.
I dreamed that my aunt decided that my grandparents needed a new house, so while they were all out in town, she had their old house demolished and a new one built in its place. It was an incredibly fancy and stylish Frank Lloyd Wright style home, and my grandparents really liked it. Then I was walking down a dirt road next to some woods. there was a small group of guys walking in front of me. One of them had a pie, and all the rest wanted a piece. But the guy refused to give them any. When they became increasingly insistent on having some, he shot off off into the woods next to the road and disappeared. Then the grown-up Andy from Toy Story 3 was wanted to be the starring character in a new soap opera. He declined the role, much to everyone's disappointment. He was in sort of an apartment complex. As he left the meeting with the soap opera people, he walked past the open door of a day care. A young toddler was sort of crawling out the door, and as Andy walked past, it sort of reached out its arms and gave a small cry of want and desire. As if it really wanted him to star in the soap opera. But somehow the toddler's actions touched my heart, and I started crying really hard. I cried and cried as I followed Andy. Andy went up a long flight of stairs into the upper level of the apartment. He got to the top and went inside a door. I could see him through a window. His grandmother appeared and gave him an after-dinner mint, and anxiously asked where his sister was. There were two VFX companies that were widely renowned for their superb visuals. To everyone's surprise, the two companies decided to merge and become one huge amazing company. I dreamed they made a commercial for their new company, and I was somehow in it. All the famous characters from their previous films came flying out of the sun and collided with the other company's characters. The result was an awesome explosion with lens flares and lots of glamour. (Yes, as a filmmaker, I'm into visual effects companies. :p) Then I dreamed about the opening scenes of the Hunger Games. (I've never seen the film, by the way.) I dreamed that Katniss's father was an alcoholic man who made beer off in the woods in a trailer. She was selected for the Hunger Games. The judges told her to go off into the woods and get ready. She went away. What followed was a beautiful ethreal sequence. Strange long women in bright colored dresses wove in and out of sunlit trees, singing low. They swayed back and forth, like the women were made of rope. I dreamed Katniss was there, and was bathing in a spring. It was embarrassing. Suddenly, a horn blew in the distance and she looked up anxiously. It was time to get back to head quarters, and she had taken too long. Then it was several days later. Katniss had just completed a task, and for some reason she needed information from a spy. So she and a judge went off on a rainy evening to find him. The spy was literally a mole. He lived underground, and all you could see of him was his head, because they had dug away the earth around it so they could talk with him. Katniss needed information, but the spy was reluctant to give it to her. She got increasingly stern with him, and he enigmatically replied, "But this was our first breakup! Not even your precious boyfriend survived the last task!" But at last he relented and gave her a reel-to-reel recording. Katniss went off and tried to decipher the message, but she couldn't because the recording was of a person speaking "in the language of trees".
I fall asleep, and immediately see a face directly in front of mine, maybe our noses are a full nose distance apart at most. A man is staring directly at me, sporting a big, regular mustache, and smiling happily. Looking right into my eyes as his wide face remains motionless. I scream in terror, completely surprised by this man, because just a moment ago I was laying in my bed, waiting for sleep. I wake up with a jolt, then question why he was so terrifying for me? I think it was the surprise factor of going from being by myself, to having a face all up in my face.
Literally dripping with sweat, wearing a sweat soaked T-Shirt, I am stocking the dairy cooler at work. I feel ridiculously warm, but also much relief from grabbing cold cartons of milk and other items. Feeling the wet condensation on the bottles, I let it cool me down as I work. I notice there is an attractive co-worker nearby working in the produce section. It's hard not to notice her, and I am aware of her presence. Mostly just enjoying her company, I try to fit everything from the cart into the coolers in the appropriate spot. Waking up, it is 95 degrees F (35C) in my room and I am literally dripping with sweat... It was nicer in the dream working with the coolers.
Noticing pain in my hand, I look closer and see a splinter in my thumb. As I hold my hand, I also notice a splinter on the outside edge of my hand. Both on my right hand. Immediately, I grab my box cutter and begin to dig the splinter out of my thumb. I cut along the splinter as I usually do, but somehow the cut is just a hair off, and not helpful at all. A little unsure about how I managed to miss like that, I continue to scrape at it in the usual way. Careful not to scrape along the new cut I just made, it manages to seal back together like nothing had happened, only a little pain that is completely drowned out by the irritation from the splinter. Worried that people will think I'm just being a slacker, I change my position so that I'm not laying down on my side across the desk as I do this. Now the lighting is sort of dim, so I go stand directly under a ceiling light for an easier view. Not getting the splinter out of my thumb yet, I decide to give the other one a go, and contort myself to get a good angle on it. Carefully holding the box cutter by the edge of the razor blade, I begin to rake at the second splinter to get it out. This one is much easier, and after removing some surface skin, the splinter flips over, and sticks out of my hand. I wipe it away with the blade. Then I notice it's 9:40 and I'm already late for work! I'll have to finish the splinter removal later, and I run to my bicycle, dropping every thought of what else I want to do in order to make it to work as fast as humanly possible.
July 11, 2014 I can only remember fragments. Woke at 4AM half asleep dreaming about classic cars but not sure what went on, later had fragments of riding in a car trying to go somewhere i didn't know. All the details are hazy so i really cant remember much today. Just feel tired.
Awake Non-Lucid Lucid 3:00 I woke up to my alarm playing "Helter Skelter". I went to the bathroom and stayed up for another minute or two for a total of around 5 or 6 minutes. I then stayed in my bed for an hour and thirty minutes until I fell asleep. ~4:28 I woke up in my bed,hearing the usual sounds when I'm lucid (rushin, et cetera). This time I wasn't scared. I attempted to someone to walk into my bedroom, but nothing happened. I tried to get up, and all I did was lay there. I was paralyzed. I close my dream eyes, thinking that I'm in sleep paralysis or something, and that I just need to wait a few more minutes. I ended up awake at 4:29. I then layed in bed for another whole bunch of time, waiting to go to sleep, accepting that I failed to have an LD this night. ~5:00 I remember babies, and my hometown. There were good and evil babies, and devil babies. I especially remember a certain demon baby. I also remember the playground in my hometown.
