So I go to sleep all nice and relaxed using some techniques from ETWOLD, I confirm to myself I will wake up after my dreams which I do. I wake up around 06:20 but before I realize I'm awake I already move a bit, I relax and try the 'counting to sleep' which goes good but distracting thoughts make me unable to pass 40. I eventually fall asleep and wake up to my normal alarm 09:00 and decide to give it another chance as I'm more tired now. Guess what? The alarm of the dryer goes of and once again I'm the only person upstairs, I didn't even bother cleaning out the filters, just shut it off all together. Off cours I was too awake for anything right now and the best thing of all. I forgot atleast 3 dreams I had because of this, atleast we're making progress on the relaxing techniques and auto-suggestion. It's morning as I'm typing this which I don't do very often but I will probably read a lot of ETWOLD today. Plan for next night: -Auto-suggest waking up after dreams -Using the 'counting to sleep' technique -Archieve lucidity Plan for when I'm lucid: Pay extreme attention to environment and any change in feeling that might be different from reality to have more LDs in the future.
00:00 Thursday 2014-08-07 1mg melatonin to counteract family bedtime drama (yet again) this night and last night 1 cup body builder protein powder mix with milk 00:49 bedtime wakings during the night, build running list of dreams recalled, worked on this list probably at least 3 times during the night 09:11 final waking + I'm in a non-descript hallway like a school hallway, I see at the end of the hallway (through a door?) a bloody bear is coming after me I keep trying to dodge it running in a small circle in and out of two close doors between the hallway and a room, trying to keep the wall between the bear and me, it gets its paws on me eventually + solving a complex math problem with dad, the bosses gave him approval to try to solve it in 5 minutes, I think that's bogus (it's our problem and I've solved it the bosses have no right to try to take ownership of it, the 5 minute limit is just a token "gift" to us, they intend to steal it), I've already solved it in a nice closed form the fractions are kind of messy though, I also have graphed it, my dad is doubtful of my solution, I have many pages of the solution worked out + driving at night through a suburban area, take two right turns into a complex, turn into a driveway, enter house, high school friends there, eating huge grilled chicken/garlic, some older guys there creating a marketing presentation on "edible plastic" featuring the west coast, wording drawn on what looks to be a large rectangular cake. + solving a computer design problem: apple can only add 32 in a loop, that's why it's so slow, I realize a single multiply of 32 is all that's required, it's a huge improvement, then I realize that a single shift is all that's required, the company builds a large shiny new prototype based on my new design + outside nighttime lots of people college housemates there's a battle coming I'm reassuring a girl that it will be OK, call out to opponents to start, I do a series of high jumps descending down on to my friend NI who holds the key to starting, landing clumsily commenting about "let's begin before I break my neck", people are upset that William Shattner is heavily modified, final scene prepared between the demon and Captain Kirk + rubbing my hands up and down a girl's back from her shoulders down to her waist, holding her tightly, her back is to me, it's some sort of exercise not a romantic encounter, she says she likes it

This dream that I've been having lately has reoccurred several times. Each time I have this dream it's a little bit different from the previous time, but it's all basically the same details. I'm being chased by a man, specifically the man who lives beside me in reality. He is a rapist pedophile, as he is in reality, and he is pursuing me, his intentions to rape me of course. He is chasing me through my bedroom and through my house as I panic and run, begging my mother to do something while she deliberately ignores me. I try in every dream to call 911 but my phone will change numbers, such as 1 becoming a 4 due to technical complications. So I've lost all hope and I am desperately afraid of the man as he corners me. At the last minute before he can rape me, the man I'm in love with in reality runs in and attacks the rapist, pushing him to the floor. It's quite violent and bloody but the man I love in reality usually destroys the rapist in ways such as the one he used last night, ripping the rapists' flesh out of his neck in chunks with his teeth and ripping the skin off the arms. The man I love usually ends up covered in blood, blood in his teeth, blood in his hair, blood on his hands, blood on his shirt and he is soothing me in the corner I've hidden myself in. He holds me in his blood soaked arms and kisses me on the head to calm me down, telling me the danger is gone while my blue carpet absorbs the blood of the dead rapist. That's how most of my dreams go; either me saving the man I love or the man I love saving me, each dream gory and bloody beyond thinkable amounts.
08-05-14 DILD. Completed Bonus TOTM. I was already in a DILD climbing up a building when I again thought of TOTM. I looked down on a street and thought about what the bonus task might be. It seemed to me that it had something to do with cartoons. Maybe create a cartoon DC? No, but that seems close. It must be something were I need to change an item from realistic into a cartoon version while observing the changes? Yes, it is something close to that. I will start there and see if more comes to mind. I watched as a white van came slowly up the street. How to make it transform into a cartoon version of itself? I focus on the shading caused by light and shadow and erase all of that. Now it has a even white color with no shading. I try to imagine this is causing a 2D effect. It works and the van becomes fake looking. It is still driving down the road, but the effect is a bit like a cartoon van driving down a real road. I am now down on the street level. I use thought to shrink only the front end of the van. It looks very funny, like a circus mirror effect. I sit indian style about 2 feet off the ground (floating). I start following the van up the street and it turns onto a faster busy road. I realize now that the task is not so much change things into cartoons, as just shange things in interesting effects. I do this on perhaps 4 more cars. I try new colors, change the brightness, and metalic glints in the paint, enhance the crome strips. I had great fun with a copper colored sports car. I took a plain ordinary car and changed it to copper, then added a galvinezed effect to the paint. Then caused crome to appear every where. Next I stretched out just the lower half of it. It looked like some weird preditor car. I woke up naturally soon after that.
08-05-14 This is just a short DILD. The task was to have a DC tell you a word in another language and what it means. My mother siad "BIORK" as in she wants to go to the Biork. I asked her what Biork was and she showed me a big card with the word spelled out on it. I was suprised that it was easy to read and stable. I asked her to be more clear, and a image of her going to a place flashed. Ok, so Biork is a place, but what kind of place? A place to get food. A market? No, it is behind the market. You sit down and eat prepared food. So Biork means restraunt? No, specifically it is behind the market. Wait, is Biork the name of a restraunt you like? That would be a proper noun. I do not think that counts. It is not the name of a restraunt. An image flashes, this time of my mom going into a grocery market and up to a counter in the market to get food. Oh! So Biork = a place in the back of a food market where you can sit and eat prepared food. Much like a deli counter you can eat at.
8/6/14 Last night bed 10pm - 3:30 am (work) DR: I'm in a room, and there is a woman on the far side, at the wall. Not sure what happens to her, but suddenly there is another woman, dressed in colorful clothes. She somehow jumps on the wall, while she is standing with her back facing the wall. )Like those guys in games dressed in velcro suits jumping on a vertical wall and getting stickied there.) She is held to the wall by her back, while her arms and legs are moving. Now she is on fire, but only her edges. This is turning into a nightmare and a feel some dark force. I hurl a large knife at her, to stop the evil. But my knife falls to the ground short of her. DR: I'm walking down a boardwalk at some recreation area. A guy tries to pour some water on me from his water bottle. I dodge it, then I see him as he walks few steps away from me. He looks drunk or high. His balding hair is all wet, so is his white wife-beater tanktop. Two people tackle him to the ground. I run there and put my knee up on the boardwalk to kneel on his chest. We are holding him down till police comes. Suddenly he is listless as he is laying face down and he starts to vomit. I look at my hand and his vomit is on it. I shake it off.
Dream 1 I'm at work in the kitchen relaxing because the restaurant isn't very busy and an order comes in for 4 pizzas. I'm on that section and I think ahhhh I cba. The order was 2 Chicken and Pesto pizzas and two Prima Goats Cheese pizzas. I walk out and the table pretty closest to me was 4 girls. They must of been the ones who ordered. I thought, its quiet, they're pretty hot, I'll make epic pizzas. So carefully rolled them out etc. Cooked them, I got three out and put them under the pass and the 4th one I dropped on the floor. Ffs. This meant I had to make another which was effort. Quickly I rushed that one and made it. I put it under the pass and the boss said angrily to me. 'Theres no feta cheese on it', he made me put that one and heat it up in the oven again. Under pressure I went to get it out and I almost dropped it again. It was dangling on the side and I shouted him to help me. We got it on the plate luckily but alot of the sauce dripped on his shirt. He didn't notice so I didn't mention it. He was already mad enough. I was ready for my break then another order of 4 pizzas came in. I was glad to wake up. Dream 2 Some bomb had gone off over the city, everything became like the start of an apocalypse. I chose my squad, which was basically my family and a few others and we had to survive. Me and another team member were ill and we had to find supplies quickly. We drove and the sky looked fiery, it looked like the end of the world. We seen a place which we knew would have medicine. We had to hook up to this machine in the building which connected into a power supply with 4 wires and you inject 1 into your arm. There was 3, 1 was working fine. I got the girl strapped up to this first. My one wasn't working. The third one had no wires. So I took the wires from my one and plugged them into the 3rd one then injected my arm. Knowing I would survive I took them out. I got my radio and I warned nobody to come to the city of Coventry it was very dangerous. Then I found the guy who owned the place was a pedophile and we were angry and had to leave.
Dream 8.00am Im on an island which looks like Thailand. Im at the shops and I see Daryl and some other guy (OG). Og has a shopping trolley with fruit and veggies with him. Og takes his stuff over to what looks like a fridge. I ask him why he's doing that and he says that when he bought them the lady dipped them in boiling water to give them a clean. A Thai lady figures out that he didn't pay for them and alerts someone to question him. Og doesn't want a bar of it and makes a run for it. Im following Og as he's trying to get away from who ever is chasing him. I ask Og on how they figured out he stole the produce. He says that he ask the Thai lady a question which either should have already been done or needed to be done to his produce. The man chasing gets his man and takes Og away somewhere. It's only myself and Daryl and we're outside walking. We both decide we need a piss and try and find a good spot. The area looks to have a bit of an Australian outback look and feel to it. With the sandy ground and bushes. We find a spot to piss near what looks like a animal hole. I ask Daryl what it is. I have a closer look and see that if looks like some kind of art work from a tribe which has a face and a small hole at the bottom where the mouth is. Once Daryl finishes I take his spot and have a piss. I start to sink in the sand as I pee and put my hand down on the ground. I end up putting my hand in what looks like either Daryl's pee or my pee. I turn around and see Daryl walking away in the distance. As I finish I catch up to Daryl. We reach a house but unsure on what we're doing. Dream Fragments: 1. I'm watching someone audition for X Factor. 2. Looking at protein powders. Pea protein is $100 a kilo. 3. Afl super coach. Jed adcock scores under 40p for me. Where as my opponent gets 100p with a North Melbourne player. Side Notes: Tried no sleeping mask tonight with little success. I feel as if the pressure of the eye mask on my face keeps myself aware as I awaken, whereas without it I'm pretty groggy and confused. Didn't hear my alarms. Recall sucked.
After my WBTB it took me a little while to get back to sleep. 1. First dream I remember at all I was walking in a neighborhood that I lived in when I was growing up. I missed the street I lived on but realized I was dreaming and woke up pretty much at the same time. 2. I was with my wife, dad and step-mother. My wife was talking to them about my lucid dreaming (she still thinks its weird). She was saying how it was a little strange and we were all standing around this box. The box had a little lizard head poking out of it. My wife is deathly afraid of lizards and could hardly bare to watch. As I was concentrating on the box the lizard head got bigger and bigger. After a little bit the lizard came out of the box but was some kind of large, lizard/caterpillar/mouse hybrid. It had the head of a lizard and at least 6 to 8 legs and walked like a mammal and a kind of mouse tail. It ran up my arm and I experienced dream pain. It didn't hurt just felt like pressure I guess is the best way to describe it. It wrapped itself around my lower arm and my skin kind of absorbed it and it vanished. This made me do a RC and I did a very thorough one since I wanted to be SURE I was dreaming. I sure enough counted 6 or 7 fingers on one hand. LUCID: I though of the foreign language task but then decided to do eyeball task. I turned toward my dad and put my fingers around my right eye ball. He immediately began to back away disturbed at the sight. I really focused on this and in my right eye I could see like white light shooting around blackness, kind of like when you push on your eye a bit in waking life. I was trying to get my fingers in deep enough to reach the back of my eye ball to pull it out. I didn't seem to be getting deep enough to get leverage to pull it out and began to get frustrated. The frustration caused me to wake up. 3. This one was very long and vivid. I was with my daughter and I took her to work. I was going to be gone for several months and I talked to my wife who asked when she would be coming home, I told her I wasn't sure. I didn't even know how I was going to get her home really. I was supposed to make sure some training was going on but I had to find where the classroom was. I was a long way from the class room and took a few wrong turns to get there. I found an elevator and went up in it (of course I never got in one last month at all), when I got to the top I realized I went one or two floors higher than I was supposed to so I took the stairs down. I think my daughter was still with me at this point but not a large factor in the story at this point. I went down flight of stairs and tried to go into a door. Someone was working on the other side of the door and I couldn't go through. I said this was find and went down another set of stairs. I ended up giving up on this and wound up back in my room with my daughter (still at work). I put her down for a nap and went to get some food from the cafeteria. I ran into another guy I used to work with and he had his family with him. It had seemed like I was gone for a long time and I remembered that if my daughter woke up and I wasn't there she would be very upset. I got back to the room quickly and I could hear her crying. I got her from the room and took her out to the living room area where there were a bunch of toys. Somehow the room I was in transitioned to the cab of a truck that I was driving down the road. I was more riding in the truck and not driving, there were a bunch of pillows and toys spread all over (like a living room almost). I saw a policeman coming down the road and I was worried that he would see that her seat-belt wasn't on. I had her sit and we pretended to be buckled in. The cop car passed us and I realized in front of us that there was a sideways car that we were approaching quickly, I sat in the drivers seat and pulled into the dirt median next to us to avoid the sideways car. As I began passing the sideways car I realized it was still moving down the road and I wasn't passing it but staying even. The dirt was hard to drive on and I began to lose control, the sideways car straightened up and I pulled back over to the road. I did a RC and became LUCID: I looked out the car window and thought of jumping out and the traffic and my daughter, I convinced myself again this was a dream and hopped out of the window while the truck was cruising down the road. I landed right on my feet and was facing oncoming traffic. There was a truck coming right at me and as it approached I barely kicked the bumper and it flew backwards onto the car behind it. I was pretty proud I was able to do this with ease. I then thought of the word in another language task and looked for someone. Behind me a bus was pulled over and a girl was coming out of it. She had long dark hair and I ran up to her and asked her to tell me a foreign word, I wasn't sure if this sentence came out clearly (I thought I might have slurred it), but she understood me. I cant remember the exact word but it started with F and had some Rs in it, something like Farrer or Fourier, it sounded very foreign when she said it. As soon as she said it she was walking away and I followed. I repeated the word and she said 'yes', I then ask her what it meant (still following) and lost the dream. So close!!
