    1. Terrarial Dreams

      by , 07-14-2014 at 10:13 PM
      This happened a while ago. I was playing Terraria for 24 hours straight, no breaks. Eventually, I just said "This has to stop" so I deposited my earnings into my wooden chest and went to sleep. That day, because I stayed up all night, I had a dream that I was in Crimson armor, at the surface with the crimson equivalent to a Nightmare Pickaxe [Nightmare is the name of the pickaxe, not relevant to the emotional complexion of the dream] and the sky was a maraschino cherry red tint. It was slightly darker, because it had a crimson-like setting to it. Despite not actually being in the crimson, the setting was very crimson-like. Crimson is the name of the biome, note, not the color of the sky. Crimson basically is the equivalent to the Corruption, the main antagonistic force in Terraria. It spreads very quickly, and is filled with evil enemies. Anyway, back to the dream. The ground was a very solid black, and I was wearing crimson armor. I was swinging the pickaxe at the ground. This seemed to continue in a loop for 10 seconds. What went through my head at the time follows"

      0:01: Huh. This is weird.
      0:04: Wait, why does the sky look weird?
      0:07: Wait, how am I playing this without a keyboard or mouse? Virtual Reality is many years away....
      0:09: Wait, I'm dreaming!

      I awoke and thought: No; I wanted to be God of my dream... Maybe summon skeletron prime and become Deus Ex Machina.. I couldn't get back to sleep.

    2. Becoming a mech; left the TV on to get lucid :D

      by , 07-14-2014 at 10:02 PM
      I accidentaly left George Lopez on TV. The episode was a rerun from the previous night. I woke up, remembering that the TV was on, but then instead of getting out of bed, I thought "I'll know I'm dreaming know" so I went back to sleep. I forgot for a moment, then I realized it again. I went beast mode. I was walking through the town, then I thought to myself "These are NPCs, right? Therefore, it won't matter if they die." So I saw my perspective slowly lift into the air as mechanical sounds were made. All of a sudden, my body was enveloped into a metal chassis. Flamethrowers were hitched to my arms, and my tongue turned into a machine gun. I started torching the town, the pathetic NPCs cried for help and safety. I thought that it would be cool to take on extra terrestrial beings, so I summoned aliens. Ate the flashy ships. Then I thought after the town was crushed "let's take on a deity" So I cycled through a list of deities, Aries, mars, venus, Aphrodite, Cupid, Zeus, then it hit me. God. He caused the death of my trusted guinea pig, Max. I summoned him into the world in his true form; a spectral representation of a human being much bigger. I shot rockets at him, and he threw bolts of lightning at me. I dodged it in a bullet-time like matrix. I punched him as I valiantly cried out "This is for max!" Then proceeded to wake up. I had some "lumber" I had to "cut down" when I woke up in the morning, and here I am. Like a boss. yay

    3. 7/14/14 Spotlight Burlesque DILD

      by , 07-14-2014 at 09:53 PM
      7/14/14* My previous DJ entry was up there with my all time favorites. I just loved the setting and vividness. Tonight near lucid then lucid later. I'm in a parking garage. Guy pulls up in a car with a tarp over a big part of it. What do you have under there? He says he doesn't need to tell me. We need to know (am I police or security or something?). First thought=could be bomb! Then, it could be kidnapped kids...Sure enough dream comes up with 2 kids under the tarp. Some other guy struggles with guy that came in the car and also with the kids who are being brats. A relatively big tough guy nearby wants to stop me from intervening. "The three of us can take you," I start to say. He says some threats related to him not being afraid to go back to jail. I back off...wake=FA. I think to myself if I was lucid I could have knocked him around with TK! Tough guy and I are sharing a sleeping space now? I'm on couch and he crawls over me slowly...to go to the bathroom? I can feel him stepping on the couch in several places trying to make his way over me. I pretend to be asleep. When he gets back he seems to be cuddling me... Hell no, I think...uh...I need to go pee. I get up and say something like "gotta stop drinking so much water...gotta pee all the time (excuse)." I look back at him. He has this weird peeking eye?..One eye is slightly open but he is also snoring so I assume he is asleep. His feet are up on the couch and his upper half on the floor, face up. I head to the bathroom and I have to pull 2 doors together to lock it in a very loose fashion and I can still see out. While I am urinating I see a lady with a spotlight on her doing burlesque! I'm dreaming! I approach her. She changes to a different woman and then back. She is not really slender, dark hair and is in black lingerie. I think let's look around while doing a little dancing with her but I can't focus on the surroundings much. I start to have intercourse with the dancer lady standing up. Someone says "here's Mom" and a older motherly figure and an older fatherly figure show up. I take this as a test to my lucidity and think: no worries! I say "Hey mom, check her out" as I continue intercourse. "Hey check out these breasts" and I remove her bra..."nice breasts, right?!" Ok...let me get down to goals...I want to find Dreamer for the Bonus TOTM, but not here, not like this. I will teleport...closed eye
      teleport. I say I want to arrive in a beautiful and vivid world...but perhaps I did not give it enough focus. I open my eyes and I am in a hazy storage room? There are stacked metal folding chairs in a few different spots. I look around a little while, but I am not seeing anything interesting and unfortunately lose patience. I try another teleport and instead of closing my eyes I clench my eyes like when I am trying to DEILD and I
      wake up or have a convincing FA of right where I'm at IWL...possibly FA because when I decide to roll over and check the time it feels like I am shaking off SP. Either way, awake. 174
    4. For the Records...;)

      I finally got lucid again as well!

      I can't remember what made me lucid, unfortunately - only that the location stayed the same - a street in Bavaria. From the TOTM thread:

      Not much - like so often I start with jumping in the air to start hovering and hover along over a street with people. Then the undress thing comes to my mind, so I hover there, horizontally maybe 3 m above ground - and rip my clothes off and shout "Ha!!" to get people's attention. It's funny - they look up and with a satisfyingly shocked expression, most of them. I revel in the fact that I can be completely exhibitionistic since it is a dream. It feels truly liberating - a quite strong and very good feeling! I then aim for a taller house where I suspect an elevator, but I don't make it there. I wake up mid-hover and without the help of a beautiful naked stranger - be s/he from here or not - that wasn't so optimal but otherwise I'm quite happy!

    5. Nothing special [14/07/14]

      by , 07-14-2014 at 07:54 PM (My lucid comeback!)
      I woke up with some dreams but none of them were really interesting or important and so I don't remember too much of them.

      1. Long dream

      I don't know any details but I know I have a lot of conversations in this dream and it plays around a complete city. It felt like it was a whole day of dreaming.

      Anyway, I'm just happy with the fact I'm not having so much insomnia problems anymore.

    6. Rain

      by , 07-14-2014 at 07:41 PM
      The magician's been having a conversation with a girl he thinks of as a dreamer. Long wavy blonde hair, long loose dress, bare feet, floating in the air. She's not physically here, and they can only meet like this because at least one of them is asleep. Just now he's sitting down at a small white wrought iron table where a woman is going to bring them tea, and he's looking up at the sky. It's starting to rain. He's wondering out loud why he doesn't feel the rain in this place - he starts to speculate about the magical properties of this region. She says no - it's because he's sitting down and relaxing that the rain here can't touch him.

    7. Purple Haze

      by , 07-14-2014 at 07:30 PM
      Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

      Lucid #220: Purple Haze

      I’m walking through a hallway in an art school, getting ready to attend a class. I recall a previous dream where a lot of money had been stolen from my wallet and I dig for my wallet in a panic. I recall my intent to LD, get suspicious and nose pinch RC my way into lucidity.

      I remember my intent to summon Dreamer for the challenge as I walk into one of the classrooms, but as I walk in a cluster of art students engage me in conversation. Before I know it, I’m blabbing about lucid dreaming until
      I’m only semi-lucid. Something prompts me to take out my iPod and check it. It acts just like waking life, but one of the words on-screen is “Kentucky”. Look away, look back, the letters are now a jumble, and I’m lucid again.

      Wary of being distracted again, I duck back out into the hallway, which is now empty. I walk along for a while, thinking about how I’ll do my summon. I want to try rolling with what the dream gives me and using an existing DC. I step into an atrium where I see a handful of DCs walking around. I point at the closest one and say, “You’re Dreamer!” Immediately I notice that her hair is purple and she’s walking toward me. I lean in to make sure and it’s a perfect match!

      Yeah it’s me!” she says, as if nothing could be more obvious.

      We hug and I start describing my plans for the dream. I tell her that I’m planning for us to do something together but that I’m having some trouble remembering Task of the Month. “That is Task of the Month!” she says, laughing. (Good call!)

      “Oh right,” I say, “that’s Basic. [Note: Wrong, that’s Bonus!] But what’s advanced?”

      She furrows her brow and then shrugs. We walk down the hall together and I tell her that I have an idea for something cool to do outside. We talk a bit more but I’m feeling like all this walking is compromising my lucidity, so I say, “Hey, let’s just fly, okay?” I turn my back toward her because for some reason I think she needs to ride around on my back. (How insulting!)

      “Okay!” she says, and hops onto my back, “seatbelting” herself on by reaching her right arm over my right shoulder and her left hand under my left arm, then clasping her hands together. I hop up into the air and fortunately the flying feels effortless. We go soaring through the atrium into an area that looks like a shopping mall. There are a number of DCs milling about below and I’m surprised to see that a few of them also have purple hair!

      We swoop low past a bench of DCs and a few of them run. I laugh at this, and Dreamer does too (though a little less maniacally than me.) We’re heading toward a low wall and I have a little trouble pulling up, my dream body kind of “oozing” awkwardly over the top. Made it, though! I see a set of doors off in the distance, so I set us down and head for them, determined to get outside. All the while I keep talking about how all of this is a lucid dream.

      As I’m talking Dreamer starts taking over more and more of the conversation. I keep my left hand on her right shoulder as I walk in order to keep her “stuck” as part of the scene. But after a bit I notice that her accent, perfect at first, sounds all wrong and she’s changed the subject from dreaming to how I really should go back to art school. I nearly lose lucidity, but look over in time to see that Dreamer has been replaced by a young, dark-haired woman who looks Thai. “You never go to your art classes!” she says. “How can you expect to succeed if you don't go to your art classes?”

      “You are not Dreamer!” I declare, pointing a dorky finger in the air and running for the exit.

      “Wait!” says the woman, and I feel her grab onto my ankle. I ignore the sensation, though, and fly out through the door, phasing outside to a parking lot. There are a number of DCs milling about, mostly women, and all of them have purple hair!

      I swoop toward the closest DC, a stout, middle-aged woman with glasses. “You’re Dreamer!” I say, pointing dramatically at her and kind of dropping into a goofy lunge. She says something noncommittal so I follow up with, “Don’t worry, you will be,” which she seems to accept with some surprise.

      I tell her that my Task is to eat a huge dessert (somehow I’ve finally remembered) and she tells me that there is a “Chili’s” nearby. I point to a building and leadingly say, “You mean there, right?” She agrees and somehow I wind up inside of this restaurant, the purple-haired woman no longer around.

      I’m walking forward in a huge line in order to enter the restaurant, which winds through some kind of indoor forest. I zoom in close to the tree’s detail and see ants crawling along the bark. I study the way that the lighting and shadows play off of the trees in real-time and I brag about all of this detail to the DCs, gushing that “This is all inside my head!” They nod politely and look a little uncomfortable.

      We come to a long spiral staircase downward that leads to a cavern floor blanketed in mist. I don’t want to wait so I leap over the side, floating down to the floor and then moving into a dark tunnel. I remember how Dreamer had good luck producing a flame from her finger and how Xanous had focused on the pain of the experience to create fire in his hands. I hold up my thumb and expect this to happen for me as well but there’s nothing.

      Now I expect pain and heat. There’s a slight tingling ache, but it’s little more than a nuisance. “The big fire!” I say. Nothing. I exit the tunnel into a large, darkened movie theater. I try to shout “The big fire!” but I get the sensation of my waking life voice croaking out the words and
      I’m startled awake.

    8. Dreams From last night

      by , 07-14-2014 at 05:50 PM
      I don't recall the first or second dream but in the third dream I appeared on my bed and couldn't move. I felt someone enter the room and thought to myself good thoughts so nothing bad would happen. Two girls entered my room and tried to pin me on my bed. But I kicked them and started flying. I was flying backwards out of my house saying " change to a happy place with light" more than three times. I saw the scenery changing and appeared on white stairs. There was a door in front of me and I opened it to see a room that was dim but still had some light. I was happy but wanted to find my guide so I opened another door in the room and to my surprise I was now in the elevator. In it I could see a small boy in the corner and so I asked him if I should try going to my cousin's dream or find my guide. He told me I could see my cousin but if I found my guide we could bond more. I said OK and asked what floor to go to and he said 1c. I pressed the button but the elevator went up a bit than stopped. I pushed the elevator up with my hands and was at the fifth floor. I saw a group of guys with guns and went to fight them. I beat them up than remembered my guide was on the 1st floor. I teleported to the room and found another guy with a gun. I beat him up than ran into the apartment building room. I saw Dawn than asked if he was OK. He was fighting a Italian man who wanted to kill us. Eventually we won the fight and one of the bad guys shrunk into a tiny person saying they gave up. Someone threw a garbage bag at him and I guess he got squashed. The old Italian man tried to shoot me but I begged him not to. He decided he was just going to leave. But when he was leaving I took one of the working guns and shot his butt. He wanted to get me for that but Dawn made him go away. After that I ate Dawn's starburst and he went to take care of a little girl. Woke up after that.

      When I was trying to get lucid I appeared in a forest with lots of rocks that hurt my feet.
      I heard someone calling me in the distance than I woke up. I tried getting lucid again and did. I appeared in a old black car that they had in the olden days and observed the radio. I saw the radio wasn't working well and exited the car to explore the world. But when I saw my dad talking on a old phone I was distracted. Than my brother exited the car and I saw my brother's skin was scraped a lot and asked what happened. He didn't tell me why. His appearance just changed and he took me into a bus. We went through the bus and appeared in a old house that looked abandoned. I was kind of creeped out cause I saw a small figure with a dark hood floating above that turned invisble. The scenery soon changed into my house living room and the boy started dancing with me. I said I couldn't dance and he said he knew that I couldn't. I was thinking of questions to ask him but he grabbed my hand and walked me down the stairs quickly. I saw my dad putting away junk into his closet than the boy showed me into my older brothers room and I woke up.

    9. Father chasing me down for Lethal Injection

      by , 07-14-2014 at 05:31 PM
      it was my dad and I don't know what I did wrong but he had a lethal injection and was trying to kill me. and my boyfriend (lets call him John) was by the chair where I was supposed to be and we were in an office like setting only the entire side of the building wasn't there and when one would walk out it was a huge interior of another building with a skating rink and a hockey game was going on. My dad had me and was trying to pin me to the chair and John didn't do anything, but I didn't care, I was just trying to live. I broke free of my dad and quickly went to these two ladies across the room in a panic and tried to tell them what was happening to me but they didn't do anything, they said they couldn't help me. then my dad was coming after me and so I ran to the other building/ice rink thing and there was a hockey game going on, and I was running and my dad was catching up. For some reason, he was extremely upset that i was going across the ice and interrupting the hockey game. I passed this girl who i've always kinda hated growing up, for some reason. Then I was running across the ice in the middle of the hockey game (there were no walls around the rink) and I got to the other side and there was nowhere to go. I tried yelling and my dad and trying to get him to understand that whatever I didn't isn't worth killing me over and he said if he didn't it wouldn't teach me a lesson, and I said I wouldn't learn anything because I would be dead. Then I ran back to the ladies in the office and I was looking at John, and I was explaining to them how in love with him I was, and I got all teary.. then I woke up.
    10. Coastal City South of York

      by , 07-14-2014 at 05:12 PM
      I think there was much more to the dream before this, and his was the tail end of a much longer story. Regardless, I remember looking at a map, trying to find the quickest way to Gulf Shores from York (which I was near, for some reason). York was pretty close to the coast, apparent, and gulf shores appeared to be south and west of it. As I was looking at the map, I noticed some coastal cities along the way, that I had never heard of before. One was just outside of York, apparently, in a fictional city called Roseton, or Basetown, or something like that?

      Anyway, I headed towards it, and pulled up to fictional intersection that I've seen in my dreams before. There was a windmill there and gas station, which was normal. Part of the windmill (the topmost bladed part) fell off while I was waiting at the intersection. I then noticed that there was a brand new gas station underneath the windmill (beside it and beneath it, it wasn't part of the windmill), which was exciting, because there was usually just a run down, empty lot there. So, there were two brand new gas stations. We pulled into the one on the right, beneath the windmill. We stopped, and Katie Lewis was there. She got out, said hello. I introduced her to my girlfriend, and called her by Kaia's name, but she had apparently shapeshifted into Katelyn Rew. We then got back in the car, and I figured that introducing her with Kaia's name probably hadn't been the best faux pas, and decided to not to touch the subject.

      We then took the road between the gas stations, and it led immediately to the coastal town. On my first visit, I noticed some fast food places and a walmart, and that it was directly on the coast (or a river?), and that there was ice all around. I left (I don't remember what I did during this absence, or any other absence, for that matter), and then returned. On the second venture, my family had come with me. My sister was pretty amazed that I had never noticed all of this was here before. The area had grown, and was now pretty populated with people. Also, you could apparently see Cuba from the coast? Like, close enough to swim to, very easily (not the city Cuba, the island nation). We went to a library, which was ok. I searched for Heretics of Dune, but couldn't find it (nothing but prequels, of course). We then left for a very brief period of time (again, no recollection of what I did, there honestly may have been no time shift, and my mind just made it seem like I had left in order to change the scene of the city) and returned.

      This time, it was MASSIVE, and there was a clear eastern and western part to the city. All of it was floating on ice, though the bergs weren't really separated, they formed a large landmass, for the most part. It was also less immediately apparent, now, and required hopping over one or two small ice floes to reach the city proper. It felt like a WoW quest hub, honestly, and I remember someone doing some kind of rocket races or something? For some reason, my mind associated them with Goblins, but I don't think that they were actually Goblins. It was pointed out to me by a third party (it felt like Lindsey from Arrested Development was speaking into my mind) that the eastern (left, from my perspective) portion of the island was very politically liberal, while the western (right, from my perspective) portion of the island was very conservative.

      So I went to the eastern part, which I hadn't been to yet. They also had a library, which was much better. While I was looking for the book I ran into someone who works there, I assume, as she was going to help me find what I was looking for. She was some weird mixture of Meghan A and Haley from Birmingham. I remember us stopping to talk, and her rubbing her toes against my foot in a weird, flirtatious way. I found the book, Heretics of Dune, thanked her, and left. At this point, I left the library, and was then woken up by my girlfriend, who wanted to go find breakfast. So now, we're gonna go find breakfast.

      As a side note, every time I left the city and came back, I may have had a false awakening, because I seem to remember a sensation of relief each time I went back to the city, in that I was relieved it was still there, and perhaps that indicates that I suspected it was just a dream, due to a FA.

    11. 14/07/14 - Mountain Bike Ride

      by , 07-14-2014 at 03:11 PM (Covlad96's Road to Lucid Dreaming)
      Dream 1

      We were in France on a school trip, and we are pretty much allowed to do what we want to do during the day so me and one of my friends decide we are going to hire a bike a ride over the huge mountains they have in France. So we went and rented a bike each, and began to ride them. Before we even got to the mountain trail I had to go down a huge hill, it was verrrrry big. I was riding down going fast and it was now me and my sister. I was pretty scared we were going to crash. Then at the bottom we planned that we would ride to the top of mountain peak, enjoy the scenery and come back down the same way otherwise it would take us forever. Then the scene changed I'm in a small French town, still planning my bike trip, I had £13, I had £6 for lunch and £7 was for any emergencies that may arise, for lunch I went in a chip shop where the lunch was pie, but they hadn't made it yet.

    13. LUCID: Lego People, Pokemon, and Task of the Month

      by , 07-14-2014 at 02:48 PM
      I was in this giant Lego city. I don't remember exactly what made me lucid, but I was. I somehow remembered the TOTM, so I decided to get naked. My clothes suddenly disappeared. I went to go find a DC. I found this Lego guy that had an elephant head. I ran up to him naked, and he kept trying to look away.
      Spoiler for Rated PG-13 for Nudity and Graphic Stupidity:
      I then couldn't think of any other intentions, so I flew away into the sky. I was very lucid, so I had great control when flying. I saw an airplane (still made out of Legos) above me, so I flew inside, only to find the pilot passed out in the cockpit. I think I lost lucidity at that point.

      There's a gap in my recall here, but then I was playing this Pokemon game in the living room of my old house, where R and C were apparently living. I was playing on an NES, although the graphics were more GameCube quality. I apparently had to catch all the Pokemon and if I didn't do it in one try, I had to start over to get the rest. I was scared when I got to the end, for fear that the NES wouldn't save my progress. But then I woke up.

    14. LD#99: Riding through the woods.

      by , 07-14-2014 at 02:34 PM (Lucid Time!)
      The dream starts off non-lucid, and it is just a projection. We watch as a group composed of all child laborers are working to build a log dam in a mountainous area. They are actually led by a child and they are attempting to dam. None of the children seem to be complaining about the difficulty of the labor, even though some of them are as young as maybe six.
      When they were finally finished they did just that. The child who was leading them shouted into the air and everyone ran and dove into the lake. There were hundreds of children in the lake, all different ages and nationalities. It was also nighttime while this was happening, but a beautiful full moon illuminated the scene.

      -Dream Skips-
      Manei (Gonna take getting used to on that name, already shortened it.) and I are riding in the back of my grandfather's car. We are still in the mountainous are where the kids built their lake. It feels like a national park or something. Lucidity hits me like a sack of bricks. I look at her and for some reason think to ask her about her nationality. Ever since she began appearing in my dreams she's always had tan skin and dark hair.
      She replies saying that for all practical intents and purposes, she is just native american. She then goes on to talk to me about how she is working on an ongoing project to perfect her physical form in my dreams.
      I then ask her why sometimes she appears like she did last time, an old woman, or a man or anything else.
      She replies that sometimes she just feels like slacking off.
      Then, we both just burst out laughing. (It's funny because I slack of a lot too.)

      I lose some lucidity. My grandfather stops the car and we get out and begin walking through the woods. Manei begins talking about how the chase scene from a movie was filmed on the trail that we are walking. In the chase, the hero gets chased by a huge mountain lion that continually rams into trees. Eventually the lion is so confused and disoriented from hitting its head so many times that it gives up on the chase.
      I wake up.

      Something about two guys.

      When I woke up, in the middle of the night, I told myself I'd remember this dream. I think it's time to start keeping a notebook beside me again to take brief notes between awakenings...

      ~

      I was swimming in an in-ground pool with my friend Courtney S. It was sunny and beautiful outside.

      I then remember thinking about my wedding photos, and whether or not they were edited yet. I was in line to speak with my photographer, who had just gotten back from vacation. When I saw her at the front of the line, we were inside and she was sitting behind this counter/podium. I said hello to her, and something about the photos. She smiled and was excited when she responded, but I don't remember exactly what her response was, though I feel as if I misunderstood her, thinking that she had finished editing the photos. I saw her handling photos, many of me when I was a child. I "remembered" them being in an album at my wedding for the guests to look at, but I did not see any photos from the wedding itself.

      I remember doing more things involving my wedding, though I can't remember much of the specifics. My old work friend Nicole may have been there at some point.

      Then, I was hanging out with someone I knew when I was in elementary school, Alex H. We were having fun, I don't remember what we were doing, we may have been swimming. I had a feeling he was ready to leave. I asked him if he wanted to stay longer, but he said he had to go. I understood. We had a good time, and I was not disappointed that he wanted to leave.

      I then was waiting in line to ride some really fast indoor roller coaster with some friends, though the only one I remember knowing was Courtney S. It was a ride that usually had a very long wait time. I remember the colors being shades of purple and blue with dim lighting. The ride had something to do with the photographer/photography, though I couldn't tell you what the connection was, other than the photographer was the ride operator. Though this photographer was not my original one, but she was someone that my wedding photographer had hired. It was a woman around my age (25) or maybe a bit younger, and she looked very bland; her face had a blank, dull look to it. I remember hearing an old woman asking her a question, and her responding with a quick "No". The woman asked her another question, and received the same response. I walked away before I could hear any more of the conversation.

      Anyway, the negative photographer (ha, see what I did there? ) was standing behind a podium, though this time it was a roller coaster operating panel. We did not wait as long as I had remembered waiting for the ride before. At the end of the ride, you would win a lot of coins, mostly silver coins like quarters and such, because it was apparently also some sort of race. One of my friends in the dream, a short, chubby girl about my age with a dirty blonde ponytail and round glasses who resembles Kristin, a girl I met at at my old job IWL, said that if you were on the last cart on the roller coaster, and you finished last, somehow cheating the system, you would win double the amount of coins as the winner.

      We were then boarding the coaster. I got on the last car on the train. The shoulder straps came down, and the train started to move up. The chubby girl then jumped from somewhere on my right into my car with me. She was trying to cheat the system to get more coins.
      "Get off!" I said to her, more than once. I was concerned about her safety.
      She finally jumped off as the train was moving towards the main track. She jumped onto the last bit of floor left beside the car. When she jumped, the train was moving a little faster, so she had to run a little after she landed, and came very close to falling off the edge.

      The ride was very fast, but very short. I had remembered it being a longer ride, and then I figured out why: The photographer who had run it the last time was the main photographer, the one who shot my wedding. This other girl was just trying to get us in and out of there as quickly as possible.

      I then was at a machine that was dispensing the coins to those who won. I cupped my hands under the dispenser, and it started to pour coins out. I had quite a few, just enough to overflow my hands a bit.

      I remember the chubby girl had gotten on a car behind me so she could cheat the system.


      Remembered much more from last night than the past few. Just goes to show how journaling your dreams really aids in the recall of them. Hoping to step back into lucidity more often again, especially with the new mindsets that I've adopted. I'll keep you guys posted.
