July 20, 2014 On a random note, you know how sometimes you drift off to sleep and see random images... Zukin and I had spent the weekend camping, and just before falling asleep Saturday night, I had a vision of an ostrich doing a backflip. Except it was like a piece of paper with an ostrich drawn on it pinned to a board and spun around. I Lost Them Zukin was in my cohort, and in my teaching group. I was in the class with the students and teaching partners, and I had to go to the bathroom. When I got back to the classroom, everyone was gone, and I spent the rest of the dream searching the school, trying to find them. They Took the FOOD I got back to my apartment, and noticed that my sliding door was open. I went inside, and searched around, paranoid that something had been stolen. It seemed that everything was in order, and then I got hungry and went to the fridge to find something to eat. I opened the door.... It was completely empty. They stole all the food. And cleaned the fridge; it was all wiped down and spotless. But empty. I was so mad. I waited for M.M, a classmate of mine, to get home. She was apparently my roommate. So was a random Asian guy from Zukin's coop. I showed M.M. the fridge and we were all //jaw-drop THE FOOOODDDDD. We checked the cabinet as well, and most of it was there, but all of the "ready-made" meals were gone. M.M. turns to me and says, "They took all the easy things to make." With a deductive nod of her head. We shook our heads in disgust. Boardwalk I was with Zukin on a boardwalk of some sort. I had to go find my cohort-mates and ask about something, since we were on an assignment. When I got back to Zukin and the boardwalk, I walked under it, and Zukin said that my head was supporting it really well, and made the boardwalk stiff (she said it in an if you know what I mean sort of way, of course) Then we started lifting up all the boards and found three layers of graded papers underneath the wood. We collected the papers and walked to the car, which was parked a few meters away from the entrance of the boardwalk. We left the parking lot and then, as I was stopped at a light, Zukin got out of the car and started frolicking through the traffic.
Don't remember much. I'm standing on a huge hill that has been formed into a series of plateaus by the group of survivors that I'm with. Some people are cultivating the land, sewing seeds and such, some are putting tarps on big poles up as roofs, everyone is milling about being productive. We know that soon, whatever turned us from "citizens" to "survivors" is coming back. Morale is tentatively high as we look how far we've come and say to ourselves that we can fend off the next attack. At some other point, I'm facing off against the evil one-on-one in an eight bit version of Super Smash Brothers.
Karate and Kate from Lost NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID There is a Karate Tournament going on. I fight 2 times and win. I mess with a guy but nothing happens. I talk to my trainer about something. We also talk about my ex jujutsu trainers. The scene changes and I am at a party. A lot of girls are there and also a lot of my friends. One girls start giving me a lapdance. She goes away after a while and winks at me while she leaves the room. Were suddenly at a different house from some guy. Kate from Lost is there and I kiss her. She asks me why that took so long and we go upstairs. I go to the bathroom. When I leave the bathroom Bruce Lee is standing there and wants to beat me up. I tell myself that hes actually nice and he vanishes. I go back into the room but its not Evang. Lilly anymore but Scarlett Johansson. We start doing it. After were done I see E.L outside in a witch costume. She tells me to come downstairs. I open the door but some girl stands there blocking my way. I tell E.L she should call me but the girl says no. I leave and drive away through the woods.
Dream 1 I done knock a door run on my street with my brother. We knocked about 10 doors on our road and ran back hom into our bedroom. I looked out my bedroom window and my friend who lives across the street was getting told off from one of the neighbors. He seen us looking out the window and asked to come in. Instead of coming in through the front door he climbed the drainpipe and came through the window. He said to us everyone on the street is really angry about what we done. There was one guy up the road who said if he finds out who it was he will batter them. He said the woman who we seen him speaking to was asking him for his bank details because she thought it was him who done it. I said 'As long as its only us 3 who know who done it we will be alright' He said 'Yeah, but I don't think they'll forget tomorrow.'
7/19/14 On a trip. At mall. Sears. Make my way past miscellaneous stores; overall path is a D shape with the curve being the mall and the straight line is the parking lot and my way back to point A from point B. Big movie theater with areas to sit and a huge ramp-like area to watch from with people laying and/or sleeping on it. Sealed door exit from the theater. But a guy comes in through sealed door. I can go out then and I do. This looks like way back to my car. Somewhere in here I'm thinking that I haven't gotten a hotel yet. I can use my phone to search for hotel deals. Walking in parking lot I see my wife's cousin N with his nice convertible. This has to be a dream to run into you here out of town! Yup! I do some of my I know I'm a lucid challenges basically bragging but it's great for confidence...I say to him, hey can I have sex with ( his wife's name). "It would be like" and I make the motions as if his wife is laid out on the hood of his convertible. I say you could have sex with (insert my wife's name). This was somehow much more fun than it sounds and just acting it out around the hood of his car felt a lot like doing it. I think: Down to goals! I think I want to do the planet one next. I considered doing it with the elevator one but no elevator around right now so just decide to fly up into space - way up and it gets dark I can't see anything but I stay calm fly up some more and then decide that I will just freefall until I hit a planet. (Note: It is my dream, I can make that work no matter how improbable IWL, LOL! In the dream I only thought that I can make this work. I didn't even go there with thinking about it being improbable IWL.) I simulate to myself a soft landing and I get it...I basically just find myself on solid ground as if I floated there like a feather. I can see through kind of a window or space into this other room or void (this is probably the dream reforming the environment after the void and free fall) and there are green rocks that have a lot of straight lines kind of like blocks thrown together creating odd shaped rocks, not unlike crystal formations. I cross through and there is big huge rocky formation that looks like it has teeth. I studied for a moment so that I can remember it later. The teeth are jagged kind of like sharks teeth. But the rest of it is not really shaped like creature really more like a big rock. I look around the room or space and there is another set of different shaped items that I come back to later but two of the items are shaped kind of like elongated travel chests. I could see something move off in the corner of the room the distance but when I look over there there's nothing. I walked over that way and I say "I come in peace" while holding up my right hand while kind of laughing to myself . I am creating my own cheesy 50's Alien movie here I think to myself. He comes back out. It is very difficult to describe what he looks like but he is a short creature maybe 2 feet tall . As for something you would find on the earth, he is most like an octopus perhaps but the base that he walks around on is a little more rectangular shaped than circular like an octopus. He has a bit of a goofy friendly face and is kind of a grayish bluish color. I try a line from one of my previous lucid dreams and I say "bring me one of your hottest alien women." A doll looking thing comes down from above on a rope. It becomes more and more lifelike, and more human woman like as this plays out. The rope is around her and slipping up and down her body pulling up her white nightgown and revealing her naked body. It is strangely erotic. I will leave out the rest of the sexual stuff with her but I may share by PM if requested. This space looks a lot like a big house. I decide to go back to look and kind of draw out all of the items on a sketch pad that I summon to help me remember this dreamscape, to really lock it into my memory. I go back over by the elongated chests but the chests are no longer there but I study the rest of the items but I drop the idea of drawing them. There are two clear glass bowls with a clear liquid in them. One has round multicolor items in it that look like fruits. The other one has some loaf shaped items sticking up out of it. It looks like it was set out for a party. I go off to my left and sure enough it's kind of liked a little party with my son there and some other people. Either I am back on earth now or they came up to visit! I then see my son's friend C and I think about how everyone talks about how promiscuous she has become. Not sure if she is still in college IWL. I think of another test / brag to my lucidity. I told my son I'm going to get it on with his friend C. I start to mount her and I see her luscious lips and switch gears and stick it in her mouth. She does a very nice job. Wow!! After a bit of that the dreams fades back to bed but I remember that I to always have to check to see if it's a real awakening...but alas it is this time. I was reminded yesterday to put more of myself in the self awareness work. I also switched up my SSILD somatic cycle a little and did some self awareness work during WBTB which I shortened. I also woke up closer to 5.5 hours after bed for WBTB whereas the last few nights were around 4.5 and I seemed too tired to make it work right. Woke from dream around 7 something. 175 Late Late dream 10 a.m. Young guy is broadcasting himself in his bedroom on justin.tv for a long time. At this point it is on the news...his girlfriend got shot through the bedroom window while he was broadcasting and I said what are the chances of that...that can't be...that's impossible. Then a playback of all the stuff that happened before the shooting. His run in with some other teenagers at school, they call him something weak and they have some kind flipping competition to see who could do standing flips. The scene where his girlfriend was shot had him holding her in bed rolling around and it just did not look natural like he was acting, but it did not make me lucid either...none of this thinking that all this was impossible. The dream explained it away. Oh well, had my awesome LD already. 7/21/14 FA: hearing the alarm turn off warning stop without key punch sounds made me realize I am dreaming. I never really understood people feeling sleepy in a lucid dream until this time. I felt like dozing off within my lucid, so I did. 176 071814 a guy is telling me about all these cool artifacts he found...I'm seeing them visually like I'm in video game. Golden breastplate, etc. Thai government is looking for him (movie at bedtime=character is in Thailand before heading to Cambodia). 7/17 crater in ocean. Where I was when 17, recurring dream. Go back for son. Hydrofoil boat. Coach M has game at 6pm. L on sons grades, report card. "Lucid" is written out on grades in one place but instead of a clue that I am dreaming, I worry that wife will see. Coach M talks about how he lost his father. I relay this to my son. Looking for school office helps with college apps. It is after 5pm but she's still there (5am? Wake 545am). Lady sits funny almost showing up skirt. A skills test is done: measure the area of two adjacent tables....easy. Life lessons you need I guess.
I'm in a place that was something like a hospital or hotel. There were a lot of rooms and it was really old. A lot of the stuff was rusting or weathering. A bunch of my friends are there and we decide to go to the elevators. We press the button and when the door opens, there's a platform with a chain attached to it, not a room like a normal elevator. It moves down pretty fast and its very wobbly. When we get to the bottom floor, the platform lowers into a larger storage room. The doors open, but there are spider webs and spiders everywhere. I get some caught in my hair and freak out, but I got out of the room. I'm in Hawaii. It snows and there was a radio broadcast saying how this was the first time it ever has snowed there. I went to a lake to go skiing but it ends up being closed so I couldn't go. I'm in a room with a few other people. It seems like it's a bedroom because there are a few beds and stuff there. For some reason I became aware that I was dreaming. I remembered the ToTM to get naked. I took off my pants and underwear, then I went to take off my shirt. I expected to wake up when I pulled it up over my eyes, (which I shouldnt have ) but I didn't. There weren't any reactions and I think I woke up right after, so I'm not counting it as a success
I had lost lucidity and got off the bed from Father room to go in to the living room as I did I hear someone opening the front door, I decided to go in the rest room to stay hidden. I hear the door open and the person walking upstairs that's when I turn on the restroom lights and look at my hands. One of my fingers were missing that's when I became lucid and thought I am still in a dream? I decided I wanted to something crazy so that this time I'll wake up once and for all. I left the rest room and open the unlock front door as I step outside it was very gray and clouded still. I check my hands and continue to still see that my middle finger was missing so I knew no doubt how real this feels it was a dream. I saw a woman with a blue football cap get out of her car walking and got her keys to open the door to her apartment. I follow her and enter inside quickly she turns around as her kids look at me with boredom. I told everyone to remain calm as I pull out a large rope from my back that I am guessing has always been there and place it in my hands. I tie up their mother as she panics the son and daughter don't seem to care and continue to play video games seems like they were competing. I lift the mother up and drop her in another room where I lock the door leaving her trap inside unless one of the kids come up to help her. I sat down on a bed and thought this was not much fun but I still manage to pull it off I began laughing and checking the place out. Before I could join the son and daughter playing the video game I woke up before I could react to it. Lucidity Time 3 minutes.
I appear in a car and it was very fancy that's when I knew it was limo. I became shock that my DEILD work for me I was already lucid that's when I look out of the limo windows and saw the very colorful green trees and grass. I found them to be so beautiful I wanted a better look I jump out the moving limo rolling on the ground, The driver in the limo stops his car and believes he hit something so gets out of the limo to see what it was. As he gets out he seems shock that I am getting up I started walking inside the forest as the sky changes quickly from a blue sunny sky to a magical dark purple sky with tons of visible stars there was shooting stars and other kinds that created very nice lights. It look too great , the grass and the trees were blowing as I saw another DC enjoying the site and running through the trees. I lay down in the grass looking up to the sky and feeling the wind blow calmly. I then realize the dream ended as another appear but through the transition I lost lucidity.Lucidity Time 2 mins

Dream - Lucid I was on the computer in the living room of our apartment. It was nighttime and extremely dark in the room, save from the light of the computer. I was showing my husband a YouTube video that had a song playing in the background. The song had something to do with poverty (I was reading something about poverty before I went to bed). I had a feeling my husband was annoyed because I was making him watch the video. The screen on the computer then went black. I had a general feeling of unease. I clicked something and it came back up on a different screen. I then clicked the YouTube tab that the video was open in, but it went black again. Now, the room was even darker. Then, I was sitting on the floor, and my husband on the couch. I was sitting right below him; I could see his legs. The feeling of unease was worse now. It was so dark...and something just didn't feel right. I could still sense the annoyance of my husband too. I was scared to look at his face, thinking the face of the devil would flash in front of my eyes instead of his. I climbed up onto the couch with him. I had my sleeping mask on now? I was "sensing" what he looked like without looking at him with my eyes. I could "see" his body, but when it got to his face, it was like I had heat vision, and it looked red. I couldn't see any details of his face. I then bravely took off my sleeping mask. "Dallas?" I said. I slowly looked towards his face. I did not see anything scary, but the feeling of unease came to a climax. I partially realized I was dreaming, and started to scream, trying to wake myself up. I then heard this terrible noise; the best way I can describe it is screeching, but that isn't accurate. It didn't sound like anything I've ever heard before. It was horrible and unearthly. I struggled trying to move my limbs as the dream faded to black; I wanted to wake the fuck up. I then woke up and was wide awake for awhile. I was only asleep for about 15-20 minutes for this nightmare. ~ I was with this guy I "dated" when I was 11 years old (IWL he is gay now). I was with him, but I realized I couldn't be with him. So I had to break his heart, and he was very sad. He looked different too; he had blonde hair and a different looking face in the dream than in IWL, though I knew it was the same person. ~ I was playing a video game. It was like Mario 64 but with something else in it. I was trying to beat Bowser, but the fight was a multi-stage fight that if you died on the last stage of, you'd have to start over again. I had played this boss many times trying to beat it, but I kept dying. Then, I figured out something about the fireballs coming out of the lava around the platforms, and when I would do a certain move with them, Bowser would get hit twice. There were two bosses here as well, not just Bowser. I remember pausing the game at some point. This dream was quite long, but the rest of the details evade me. ~ My husband and I were shopping at Kohl's. We had split up to pick some things out. A lady then was going through our things and adding up the prices, but not at the cash register. Dallas had gotten lots of things, like peach-colored women's nightgowns, men's and women's shorts, and men's pants. We were racking up a bill of $555 before we were done going through everything, so I had to lay down the law and decide what we needed and what we didn't need. We didn't need the nightgowns, nor did I need new shorts, but he definitely did, so we held onto those. He had also picked out some nice short-sleeved button-ups that didn't look like anything he'd actually wear, but he said he needed them. I kept some jeans too that he wanted, and asked if they were size 32. He said no, they were 36x30. I asked if they fit better, and he said yes, so much better. I then saw that Dallas was dressed in one of the nightgowns. I was having trouble discerning whether or not the nightgown was supposed to be for a man or woman, though, looking back, it was obviously a woman's nightgown. He was being silly, making the nightgown sway at the bottom. ~ Yeah, another mostly sleepless night. I was dog-tired last night too; I stayed over at work to help out because there was a call out, and we were very busy. Also, the night before I didn't get much sleep, so I thought for sure I would tonight. Guess again. Ugh, body, you are not cooperating with my brain. I want to have more LDs! Can't do that if I can't sleep. But I suppose I should be more patient about it. This happens to me from time to time, especially during times of stress. Things will calm down again soon, and I will have more LDs. Hopefully will be able to accomplish some of my goals as well, such as more dream sharing, and delving into past lives. Can't wait to tell you guys about these things when they happen!

After the other dream ends I wake up in Father room and my head was feeling very static , I got up and tried to turn on the lights but it didn't work I tried again but the same thing happen. I look at my hands and realize I was dreaming again, I had very good control this time I made a small white light appear now instead of the usual orange light. I began saying I'm dreaming again and felt very excited and shouted yes, my voice sounded as if it were digital. I started jumping all around in Father room I then try to phase through the wall again but it did not work as I wasn't focusing again. I then left Father room in to the living room and could tell the outside through the windows were gray and clouded. I told myself to remain calm and to focus on maintaining control over lucidity, I saw the back door and unlock it to go outside. I walk down in till I see a man who look frustrated with a knife in his hands approaching me I began to back up and that's when I realize the situation that was happening, I notice him arguing with another guy and claiming that the guy stole his truck. The guy in the truck drove off quickly almost running the man with the knife over as he shouts for the guy to come back. That's when he and his one of his partners who were hidden ran up a snowy cliff trying to catch up to the truck driver. I decided to walk on the front road thinking there's a lot of DC's here, that is when I was approach by a woman in a pink dress. She ask me how was I dream character? In my mind I was surprise she called me a DC but then I realize I am inside my mind right now. I said I am fine and add on that I was really liking this lucid dream, she smirk and ask me What am I? I began to feel different instead of feeling excited that I was lucid dreaming I felt much more determine , I could see the place changing into a college campus as we walk on the road. I told her I am who I am, after that I felt very relax and we both laugh as we see a lot of people panic and running about being late for school. She told me as we finish walking all of the front road that the two standing forward from us were her friends as they waited for us to arrive. We finally made it to where I notice one huge guy in a t shirt and 1 girl in a white dress. The girl seem happy to see her friend as they begin their conversation the dream begins break down and turning gray, they were all frozen as I could see the dream starting to fade. I rub both of my hands to try to prolong it but it was doing no good as it continue to fade. That's when I realize and knew I wouldn't let it end like this , I close my eyes I could feel the dream ending once it was all gone I only felt my actual body in waking life for one second and then I was back in another dream. Lucidity Time 5 minutes.

Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid Lucid #221: The Singing Robot I’m taking an unusually long time to fall asleep after WBTB and I sense a shift which makes me wonder whether the dream has begun. I will myself to roll out of bed and I find myself floating in the air about 3 feet above and to the left of where I normally sleep. The sun shouldn’t be up yet but a trickle of daylight’s coming in through the shutters. I roll a couple of times, a little out of control. When I try to fly I wind up just heading straight downward, soon faceplanting in the floor. The scene goes dark and I hold on for DEILD. After a while I give up,I incorrectly thinking I’ve failed and have a false awakening, feeling disappointed that the dream was “so short”. I log onto DV and see that Dreamer has left a series of comments on one of my DJ entries. Rather than text, these comments are a series of giant images that are larger than my screen, so I have to scroll around to see the entire picture. The first is one of Dreamer standing with one foot on a balcony railing, looking back at the “camera” and grinning. She’s holding her other foot over her head almost straight up in the air like some kind of crazy ballet move. The next few pictures show different angles of a similar scene from a Japanese manga and I see that she’s just creating some favorite piece of a manga she likes. I think that this looks dangerous but I chuckle at her cleverness. Soon the dream ends and I hold on for DEILD. I feel another shift and I once again roll out of bed into the air. This time I’m able to fly again but my dream body feels slight and insubstantial. It’s daytime, just as before, and I phase out through the shutters. The dream’s feeling really thin, and I try to rub my hands together but I can’t even manage that simple act. The dream soon falls into the void. “I’m having a lucid dream,” I say, but my voice comes out very gargled and robotic. I don’t want to lose the dream, so I try singing. It works, but every word comes out in this strange, metallic robot voice: This is a dreeeeeeam, This is a dreeeeeeeeeeeam… <pause> Dream dream dreeeeeeam… The audio holds together for longer than I expect, but eventually I lose even this and wake up.
Dream started in the living room where my Mother explain to me that Father and her would be in my Brothers play. My Mother and Father showed me the camera in the house and inside the garage however when I was in the garage I couldn't find any. I then went out in the living room and realize my Father was dying when he left America, I tried to hurry to prevent it however I was too late, I look at my brother who could've prevented it but instead he allow it. I grab a plant seed that's suppose to represent my Father now , I ask Mother for a bag to bury him in. She drops one bag down from upstairs as I catch it and went back in to Fathers room. As I seat there thinking what am I going to do, the door opens with Mother asking for me as I approach the door I see my Brother seems angry and was claiming I took his pink pencil so he couldn't draw and that he couldn't find it. I didn't know what he was talking about but then I look down and saw a pink pencil and realize this must be what he was looking for. I gave him his pink pencil but he was still mad and assume I took it so he tries to attack as I dodge his first hook, then he tackles me so I ended up kicking him in the face but very fast he grabs me with his arm and lifts me up and starts choking me. I was shock how incredibly strong he was and that's when I started thinking no way this can't be real , no one is this strong as if it were arms of steel. That's when I became lucid and realize I was dreaming I kick my brother which knock him back and I continue to remain up in the air , my Brother spiral in to nothing and my Mother disappear as well. I then tried to go through the walls but kept getting push back as I chose not to focus. That's when the lights went off and soon I couldn't see anything. I lost lucidity when another dream began to start. Lucidity Time 58 Seconds.
Surfing NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I am going on a surfing trip with my mom. We take a boat to the island we are planning to go to. We enter it in a little bay and start driving. On the right I see a lot of big, expensive houses. From time to time the water colour changes from almost white to a nice blue where it gets a little deeper. A whale jumps out of the water and makes a huge jump. We arrive to a little island with a beach. I take my board and surf to the man whos supposed to show us everything. I dont wanna touch the ground because I am scared of animals trying to hurt me.There are 3 other people, two women and another guy. All look very surfer like. It gets later and theres a party going on. A guy is handing out pills. I take five. I start freaking out and try talking to a friend but I cant. When I am sober again I tell my friend how weird that was and he tells me it was just sugar in the pills.
The Aquarium NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I am in an Aquarium with my american friends, friends of the family and my friends family. It doesnt look like a normal aquarium, its more like a big industry hall with pits of water. i see some fish who look like tuna. My friends mom falls into one of the tanks and seasnakes come at her. When I am home again my friend sits behind the washing machine and jumps out to scare me. I act like I am scared to make him feel good about his joke. I go into my room.
There were multiple little scenes, ill just write what i remember from each Forest scene, first person with a friend DC. We were running from or looking for something in the forest Family vacation to a tropical area. I can remember weird stuff going down i just cant remember what I had a shower in my washroom and got out. I had my bathroom window open with no blinds and my neighbor across the street was on his roof with binoculars. i remember communicating with him somehow and then him transforming into another character before i woke up. Just trying to get some dreams down to help my recollection
