It's been awhile since I've had a lucid, but I broke my dryspell last night! It's been awhile since I've even had decent recall of my dreams. I recently got a job and I absolutely hate it with all my heart(I'm a cleaning bitch at a Chinese restaurant). It's put a lot of stress on my back and ever since I've had this job my recall has just taken a vacation pretty much. However over the past couple of days things have gotten better and I've recalled a few minor details from my details. Last night was a huge step for me. I recalled the full length of the dream, from my non-lucid beginning all the way until I woke up at an undisclosed time after attempting a TOTM. I don't know if I completed the task, but I'll leave that judgment up to OpheliaBlue I guess. Anyway...without further adeui I present my dream:

I dream I'm hanging out around the backyard of my old house. Me and all of my best friends are having some sort of party, and everybody is having a great time. We're all spread out around the front yard, back yard and inside of the house having a great time. However there was a really strange difference about my backyard...there was a large baseball field in the back hard. Not like a MLB stadium, but like a field you'd see at a middle school or something. I can't recall if there was a game or not, but I think there was. Anyway, I was hanging out behind the fence placed behind home plate with my friends. Things suddenly took an interesting and somewhat comedic turn. My friend Logan and Frankie were standing by one another, and Logan began to approach her.
"Hey Frankie." Logan began.
"Uh, hey Logan." Frankie acknowledged.
Logan then started to tense up and become very nervous. Frankie looked at him with her eyebrow raised.
"You know how I broke up with Mia awhile ago right?" he asked.
"Uh...yeah...why?" Frankie answered.
"Well I was just...uh wondering...because I'm single now and all..." Logan takes a slight pause as he begins to shed tears. "I was wondering if you wanted to go out sometime?"
Frankie now looked utterly shocked and somewhat weirded out at the same time. Logan was an emotional wreck now as tears began streaming down his face. Me and a couple other friends quickly began to walk away and leave the premises of this very awkward situation. All I can remember is seeing Frankie's very distraught face as she dealt with the very complicated situation.
So as we left, my friends and I began walking down the street towards the intersection. I started thinking about things for a minute, and I then realized that I was dreaming, and became lucid. I immediately turned to my friends and informed them.
"Guys, you know this is a dream right?" I said.
"What're you talking about?" one of them asked.
"Here look, I'll show you," I replied. "You see I can't get hurt in a dream." I then ran into the street and jumped in front of a car going about 25mph, and I was hit and thrown several feet away. I got up, completely unharmed and walked back to them, but they didn't seem to care too much. So they kept walking along, and I decided to try doing a RC just to be safe. I plugged my nose, and I was able to breathe through it. Then I looked at the fronts and backs of my hands, and my right hand had seven fingers. I freaked out for half of a second and flailed my hand around.
I thought for a second of what to do, and I quickly remembered to try and do the task of the month. I was obviously obligated to try out my own task that was out in this month, and so it was my goal now to try and hold up a bank with a banana. I ascended into the air, and so did my friend Connor, which was really weird. I then flew across town to where I knew there was a bank in real life. I did find one, but the city looked much bigger and much more urban than it really is. I saw a Key Bank insignia in the distance, and I flew down to the entrance. I landed and made my way to the door. As I did so, I spawned a banana in my right hand, and I then hid it in my inner pocket of my jacket. I entered the bank, and I looked around. There was a bank vault to my far left, a cash register next to it, and a lot of people sitting down and eating meals. What the hell? Okay so I guess this place is a bank/restaurant. I decided to disregard how unorthodox that was, and I pulled out my banana. I looked across the room and saw my friend Michael and his girlfriend Kaitlyn eating in a booth, and our friend Fred was being a third wheel. Oh this was about to get really interesting.
"Alright everyone listen up!" I shouted. "This is a robbery! Everyone get down on the ground now, and don't try anything and no one will get hurt!"
People began panicking and they all got down on the floor as I instructed. I was surprised they listened when I only had a banana as a weapon. I now took my banana and walked down to the cash register and vault, and I noticed some people were trying to get up.
"Hey! I said don't get up or I'll kill you!" I shouted. No one was listening, and I repeated myself a couple more times.
"I SAID STAY ON THE GROUND OR I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU! COME ON I ONLY SAID IT LIKE FOUR FUCKING TIMES!!!" I screamed.
To that, everybody complied and stayed on the ground. I pointed the banana at the girl at the register and told her the usual deal, and she began removing money. Suddenly, I felt my banana be pulled out of my hand. I turned around to see Fred holding the banana, and he then began to peel it. At the same time, Michael came and tried to attack me, but I knocked him over. God damn it all, now I've gotta handle my own friends. I didn't want this to happen. His girlfriend tried to help but I pushed her back and tried to think of what to do with Michael. So, I grabbed a hot dog from the nearest table and shoved it in Michael's mouth and forced him to choke on it. I then turned and saw Fred eating the banana, and I got pissed. I lunged at him and brought him to the floor. I took the rest of the banana and forced it down his throat so he would choke on that. I got up and returned to the register, where several thousand dollars were resting on the stand, and I prepared to take it all. Suddenly, Fred got up and smiled at me. He then pulled some sort of fucking God power voodoo magic shit and everything changed. I saw Fred standing in front of me smiling from ear to ear, and everyone in the room was calm. I saw the money was still on the desk, and I put my hand on it. Fred made me stop, and he made me look around the room. Around the room everyone was holding assault rifles, and I noticed I had one strapped to me too. I may have had one myself, but I was severely outgunned right now. Knowing I had been defeated, I immediately left the bank/restaurant and started walking down the concrete path. I saw more of my friends and other random DCs down a large staircase, and I became curious. I held my rifle, a SCAR-H, and I fired off a few shots. One hit my friend in the knee on accident, but he wasn't bleeding. I quickly realized it was only an airsoft gun...I had definitely been fooled back there. Holy shit. I don't quite recall what happened after that, but I don't think I did much more before I awoke.

Dream - Lucid

I was with my mom and some other lady at a department store. The lady was looking for something specific. I split up from them and looked at other things on my own. We met back up at some point, and the lady kept going down aisles. I wanted to leave.

Then, we were at I think my grandparents' place having a dinner in my dead grandfather's honor. There was an empty seat next to me, and then the seat where my grandma was sitting. I thought I saw my grandpa sit down next to me; it was like a hallucination, but then I remembered that he's dead and the hallucination disappeared.

The dinner was more like a celebration of his life rather than one of mourning.

There was more to this one, but I can't recall right now.

I was married to Dallas, but Ashley lived with us as well. I had told her she could be our wife too. I "remembered" doing so. We were in our apartment.

I was speaking with Ashley, and she was telling me I needed to give Dallas a bj. I didn't want to, but she seemed very firm about it. It didn't matter; I still didn't want to. She then said I needed to sleep in the room with Dallas at night, and she didn't want me to watch Netflix anymore before bedtime. I thought about myself watching Netflix in a separate room from them at night in bed. I told her I could turn it down, but she didn't care. She then said she was going to take it away, and I said no. I was adamant about watching my Netflix. I feel like she was speaking on Dallas's behalf about all of this.

I then thought about something that I guess I hadn't considered when I had asked Ashley to be with us: We all had to have sex. But...we hadn't. I hadn't had sex with just Ashley, and Dallas hadn't had sex with her either. I thought about how this could complicate the relationship. I also thought Ashley probably really wanted to have sex with me. I had never had sex with a woman before.

I had to go to work at Kohl's. I was working my last few days there, finishing out my two week's notice. I walked in, and it looked like I was walking into the back of my job now more than it looked like Kohl's. There were many people back there, though I do not think anyone from Kohl's was actually there. I seem to remember an old friend, Alex being there. A few people saw me, but I remembered that I left something important at home, and I needed to go and get it. I turned around and went back.

Then, at home, Ashley told me that she called and told them that I had drank way too much the night before so I couldn't come in on time. Um...ok. I guess she thought she was somehow covering for me.

I then was driving back to Kohl's, wondering why they were even letting me work since I hadn't shown up for some of my shifts that week. Oh well. As I was driving, I would drive through these areas where the road would get all unpredictable and spooky-looking and the sky was pitch black. I'd look down at my hands, and they would flicker in and out of being a skeleton. At this point, I wouldn't have control over where I was going; the road was skinny and one-way with no room to turn around, and no turns whatsoever. I "knew" about these areas (more "remembering"), and was afraid I'd eventually come to the point where I would be a skeleton for a long period of time instead of just the flickers. I got to a point where I just felt like it would happen for sure, and I started to flicker a lot, but then, I went out of the black area, and I was fine.

I then was in traffic in a small downtown-like area. The sky seemed to be grey as if it was an overcast winter morning. I drove by this small car that had a small trailer hitched on the back of it. It didn't have any walls, just a frame, and I could see that it was carrying a space suit and something else. It looked as if it was about to tip over, and it did. I stopped immediately to help. So did many others. I went and picked some things up off the ground for the guy who was driving. I hoped the space suit wasn't damaged too much; it was valuable cargo.

As I was going back to my car, everyone who helped the man was being congratulated, and being given a reward. I got one as well. It was a bunch of little sticker-type things. I was happy to be getting recognized for helping. I headed back to my car, which was right next to where the accident took place.

I then was at Kohl's again. I wondered if anyone thought it was suspicious that I had left, Ashley said I was hungover, and I came back just fine. Oh well. I then saw David, and he gave me a hug. He then grabbed my butt as he was hugging me. I liked it. I guess he could do that now that I was leaving Kohl's. I guess he had a crush on me or something. I said something to him, but I can't remember what.

After that, I saw Shane. Shane did have a crush on me. He sent me these cartoon movies/comics he had made that remind me now of Tomodachi Life graphics, of him and I being together and having fun. One of them was of him proposing to me. But I was married to Dallas, so that couldn't happen. He did other things for me as well on a computer. He was really in love with me.

I was at my current job taking my lunch break. I was eating in some weird corner of the store that doesn't exist IWL with a coworker from Kohl's named Cheryl. We were eating and talking. I watched her talking, and noticed she had a grey mustache. I thought about it for a minute, but I didn't think it was weird. She then burped very quietly. I commented on it jokingly, saying
"You can do better than that!"
She then replied saying something about the burp, about how she couldn't do better than that. I came back with
"I've heard you do better than that!" I "remembered" her burping a little louder in the break room at Kohl's. She laughed. I was glad she laughed; I wasn't sure whether or not she'd find that funny.

Then, her break was over, and I still had some time left on mine. I decided I needed to grocery shop. I went and got a basket, and went to the produce section. I saw these weird, small oval-shaped tomato-like fruits that had zippers on them. I had wanted to try them before. I started to look through them, trying to find one that was fresh. They were very picked over, but I did finally find one, a small, round one. I put it in my basket. I thought about how I needed to get bananas for Dallas and, well, lots of other things. Too many to fit in the basket. I needed a cart instead. I wanted to put my basket down somewhere so I could grab a cart, but I wasn't sure if I was allowed to do that. I put it down on a white counter by the door, and nervously pondered on whether or not I should grab a cart real fast or not. I felt weird and drowsy at this point also. I then decided to ask if it would be ok for me to put my basket down while I grabbed a cart. There were three cashiers working, all with their backs to me. I said
"Hey! Excuse me! ...Cashiers!"
Nothing. They either didn't hear me, or were ignoring me. Whatever. I went out and grabbed a cart. I then went and had to do something else real fast, but I can't remember what. The cart was gone when I got back, however. Ugh. I knew that would happen.

I then went outside. It was daytime and sunny out. I was underneath the overhang. I started to draw with these marker pens on part of the wall. I drew 3 or 4 cartoony faces with just eyes and a nose, no mouth, with an arm. Hard to explain what they looked like. I remember a boy and a girl being the first two that I drew, but I can't remember the gender of the others. I drew them all in a line together, and underneath it, I wrote, in cursive,
"Sarah is dead "
Sarah is my brother's fiance' IWL. Wow. (IWL I don't want her to die!). I had mixed feelings about what I wrote.
To the right of the faces, I wrote something else. Underneath that something else, I started to write out one of my dreams. I then realized I needed to go back from lunch, but I needed to clean this up first so I wouldn't get in trouble. I spit on a paper towel and started trying to clean it up. It was kind of coming off. I was cleaning off these neon yellow and orange smiley faces. They would fade a bit, but weren't going away completely. I then started to rub them a certain way, and they disappeared. I did that to all of it to clean it up. It looked good as new. One of my coworkers, TJ, then came up and said he'd clean up my mess for me, but then, he saw that I already had.

So I'm in my bedroom (dreaming of course) but it looks a little bit different. All of the furniture along the back wall is gone and there is a giant computer screen on the wall. I'm not entirely sure if it was being projected by something on the ceiling or it was actually a huge flat-screen imbedded into the wall. The picture was really clear and it looked to have been simply a giant screen in the wall.
Nevertheless, I was able to do things via voice command. I can remember having a browser open, I think it was FireFox. I was goggling things with voice commands. I can remember goggling this really long set of three prhases but I cannot recall what they were. I could feel myself becoming sleepy.
I decided to google stuff about lucid dreaming, perhaps look at some youtube videos about LDing before I fell asleep. So I googled 'Lucid Dreaming' then lost it.
I had a few seconds of imagery and found myself in a field.
Thus began another one of these lucid dreams.
From what I can recall the feild was fairly wide, perhaps a quater mile by a quarter mile. Surrounding it is a thick forest. There are dirt roads meeting at a four-way intersection in the middle. In one quarter, there was a small drive and what looked like the foundation of a house. There were also a couple of out-of-place trees here.
It was very hot here. There were two suns beating down here. One of them was huge. If I were to hold my hand up and from the base of my wrist to the tip of my middle finger was about the height of the larger sun. The smaller one was perhaps twice the size of the sun IWL. The twin suns gave a dingy yellow aura to the sweltering air.
I then saw a Frisbee and a Bicycle ride past me. I then 'remembered' a famous artwork done by a master lucid dreamer who had seen a Frisbee and a Bicycle racing. I also 'remembered' that recreating one of this lucid dreamers' classic lucid dreams was a task of the month on DV (Can I get wings for this?) .
I begin to chase after them. The bike is small, for a child. It may have had training wheels still on it. It is black and green with the word 'Huffy' in white letters on the side. And it was moving under its own power. The Frisbee was red and had some text in it that I couldn't read because it was spinning. The Frisbee hovered along at an impossibly low speed to keep pace with the bike.
As the two objects entered the four way intersection at the center of the field, they began flying. (Well the Frisbee was already flying but you know what I mean.) The bike began flying as well. I chased after them, started flying, and tried to grab on. But when I did, I felt some kind of magical field around the two break and they both fell into the tall grass below.
Lucidity goes full throttle. I then turn to see a white pickup truck pull into the drive where the house foundation is. I want to see if Manei is in there. I fly down and land by the drivers side window. No. It's just my aunt. She is wearing these really narrow sunglasses that look something like the commander data visor from Star Trek.
Undaunted, I still want to find Manei.
"Have you seen Manei?"
“Yeah… she looked like a...sort of a…fleshy thing.”
"Yeah, no crap, She's a human! Also, those sunglasses you are wearing look a little dorky... Just a little."
"I know." She sounds sort of sad, as if I were supposed to like the sunglasses. but I get the inkling that she is joking.
"Well where did you see her?"
"I found her in a Boygen."
"What's a Boygen?"
"They are pods that fall from orbit with people in them."
She gestures to a corner of the field. I can see an egg-shaped pod barely big enough to fit a person. The inside has filled with dirt and there is grass growing out of it.
I get a vision of my aunt helping her get out of the pod in another location. Coming out of these pods is like coming out of an egg.
I then begin walking along one of the roads, then running. I am determined to find my guide. I think my aunt started driving the pickup truck to follow me. I begin staking across the ground as we head into the woods and find ourselves in some apartment complex.
The dream started to blur as we were making our way down the road and I found myself inside a beautiful asian-styled building. I stabilized the dream to prevent anymore unwanted transitions between locations by rubbing my hands together. As I did, I thought about how my hands were just part of the dream.
I began yelling for Manei, saying her name over and over. I could tell she was close, but she wasn't responding.
"I'm right here!" I recognize my dad's voice.
"I'm sorry but you're not who I am looking for!"
"Too bad, I'm coming!"

I'm out fishing or something with H. We are down by a lake, the lake is milky white in color. A small fire is beginning to smolder a few metres away. H. rushes over to put it out. I follow him. We try to put it out by stomping on it with our feet, but it's not working. I pour the rest of a soda bottle on it and run to get some water from the lake. We successfully put the fire out. We then look up and see smoke rise into the air from a place further up the hill, I get H. to call the fire department. but they don't answer the phone. We get into the car and drive up there. When we reach the top the dream has shifted a bit. H. is no longer sitting beside me in the car, and I have just parked the car at a parking lot in front of my house (only it looks nothing like my house). When I look to the side I se the parson sitting beside me in the car is Magnus Carlsen. I'm supposed to drve him home, and I've apparently forgot it and parked at my house. I get a bit embarresed about driving to the wrong place, so I make up a little lie. I tell him I've forgotten my wallet with my drivers licence in it and I'm going to go get it. When I walk inside the house I see my wallet lying on the front stairs. I find that a bit strange, and as I walk inside I do a RC, a nose pinch. It works - I can breathe! I'm dreaming. Without knowing why I did this I walk straight back out to Magnus Carlsen and go in for a kiss. He backs off a little, but I assure him it's ok - it's just a drem. lol We make out. Really make out. I can feel that he hasn't shaved that day because his stubble is slightly scratching my upper lip. After kissing him for a while I decide to do something more with my lucid dream - what was my goal again? Oh, right! I'm supposed to find my dog H. and ask her to show me a new trick. I go inside the house and find her there. She's qurious about some food that's fallen onto the floor. I gently call her over. She hesitates to leave the food, but when I gently call her again she comes over. She looks funny. More like a cartoon dog than a real dog. I ask her to show me a new trick. She lifts her right arm/paw while she slightly arches her back. I ask her to do something else and after trying for a bit she rolls over. I tell her shes a good girl and hthat she can go get the food she was craving. I think about what else I can do with my LD. I decide to go outside and fly! For a moment I consider going out on the balcony and take off from there, but I decide against it in case I'm not dreaming after all. Don't want to break my neck falling off the balcony... When I go outside it's dark. The sky is lit with stars and I think to myself it's a perfect night to go flying! I start softly waving my arms like a bird (that's always how I fly in non-lucids), I start hovering above the ground slowly getting higher up. Maybe I should try flying differently? Try to fly a little bit faster? I stretch my arms out in front of me (like superman) and start flying faster straigh upwards. I fly like this for a bit until the dream destabilizes and I start falling. During this stage I lose lucidity and fall through a window in my house. H. sits inside and says something to me when I land, but I don't remember what. The dream lives on by itself, and there's no more lucidity.

I got a present from my brother when I was about to go golfing and I opened it. Inside there was a bag of stones and I had to polish jewels in order to get them. There was other stuff but I didn't look at it. I opened the bag and poured it in a suitcase pocket, then I took it with me golfing. Layton and Will (some old friends from middle school) were there and when I went to hit my ball, they started stealing the stones and I went up to punch them but it was slow and sticky. I tried to run after them but I couldn't run. Then I went home and went in my room to go to sleep and went through my routine, then woke up.

I'm at some indoor swimming place and there are pretty big waves. I decided to leave with my family. We had to walk back through the forest and my family was arguing about what card game to play. I wanted to play cards against humanity for one reason. When we got home there were a bunch of little kids and I decided that cards against humanity would probably not be appropriate.

I had a ski competition at my home ski resort. It was really early in the season but the snow was pretty good. I had to watch my sister because my dad was being lazy and it was a pain. We went up a chairlift but at the top everyone was falling off because it was icy. Then I got to the top of the venue but I had to wait for my little sister. When they let us go, I had to hold back and let everyone else go by since my sister was so slow.

Last night's dreams were the first I've remembered in a long time. I wasn't lucid, but its a definite start. The first dream I had was about a bunch of guys literally just sitting in these tubs filled with blood. One of the guys was Hannibal for some reason. I'm unsure as to what was going on, but I know the entire setting was definitely... strange. I got the feeling that someone had killed somebody... or multiple somebodies, to accumulate all this blood just so they could bathe in it. I was pretty calm throughout this dream, for whatever reason.
In my second dream, I was outside with my step father, taking pictures of snow in the mountains. For the record, even though I live in NY, its not snowing yet. But in my dream it was. It was just a dusting of snow, and I was pointing it out to my step dad, and he was more than slightly irritated with the thought of winter coming so early...

day review, set intention for dream recall and lucid dreaming. Hard to concentrate, very tired from lack of sleep from last night, day review frequently shifts to daydreaming about scenarios arising from the memory scenes

00:00 Friday 2014-08-15

00:18 bedtime remee off

09:27 some wakings in late morning, going back to sleep
dream recall slooooooooow coming in, took a lot of time and continued probing to get these 4 scenes + frag, there was a (not very strong) sense of more

+ the swimming pool is arranged so that every lap you finish you must shift over to the next lane in order to swim the next lap, this is so the instructors can better track everyone's progress and jump into the correct lane to work with someone (see the instructor leap in)

+ at work there is a guy writing a novel, it's not finished, I get the manuscript and I'm going to look it over, there are some questionable pictures in there so I don't want to show it to my wife

+(f) something about work

+ the plane suddenly is redirected to the Philippines, WTF, why are we going there now? There must be something wrong with the plane, Oh God we're going to crash, I see the approach to a crash landing in the ocean repeat several times, we land miraculously on dry land on a long dirt strip in a park, the plane load of people is shuffling around and will be hosted in some room where a party is already going on

+ I'm playing 3rd French Horn in an orchestra, I'm trying out several different mouth pieces with different intonations, the section leader is not pleased with my playing, I run through a series of notes both with and without changing the fingering valves, including some very low notes that sound like a tuba, I look over to the tuba section to see what they think of this

A nightmare involving a creature called the Sandman whose facial features are fluid, constantly slowly changing; and then a false awakening in which the Sandman creature is approaching my POV character's bed.

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

I'm walking around the grounds of a mansion where I've been staying. Talking to someone, he's looking at something behind me and says, "Look at that, straight out of a painting." I turn around to look. The sky in the distance is yellow-tinged and nearly completely covered by these two dark slabs of storm clouds, like solid walls. The opening between them makes me think of the parting of the seas. The water beneath those clouds is being tossed up in such a way that it's revealed an old and famous shipwreck, it's been pulled out of the depths. Another ship, a modern one, is thrown out of the sea by the winds, and it crashes straight through one of the massive floor-to-ceiling windows of the mansion.

(A false awakening mostly about trying to describe that last scene, then actually woke up. Back to sleep.)

I'm looking after an enormous, shaggy black 'dog' - more like an enormous wolf - that belongs to my neighbor. Most of the dream revolves around playing with him and petting him. When I go to feed him, his water is kept in a intricately curved copper tube, almost like a French horn.

Some of these thing may be nonsense but this is a dream right?

I was in a room with students. The teacher was talking about like computer 'Plugins'.
For no reason, I had done a RC and realized I was dreaming. It felt awesome to be able to breath to your nose so I continued doing it. I looked down at my hand and saw my hand slowly deforming.
My fingers split and fused together. It even completly vanished, appearing a few seconds later.
I stopped listening to the teacher and walked away from the group of people. I went into the room next room.
It was very very huge. Like a sports hall. But oddly there was also a huge hole in the shape of the room on the ground. (Imagine a rectangle. In rectangle is a smaller rectangle. Hollow the part where the small rectangle is. Then, build a room.) On the right wall, I saw another teacher. But the student's had all lined up in a line. The teacher was explaining something to them. I walked next to him and said to the students: 'Look at me. Let's see if you'll recognize me!'. I jumped and whispered to myself 'I want to shapeshift into my school principal!'. I guess I did. A woman age 40 said: 'You are the school pricipal. You want me to get lucid and be able to my dream. You want for me to control my dream'. I said 'Yeah, that's what I want'. The rooms I was talking about in my dream were like 1m x 1m light grey tiles with a darker grayish surrounding.
Then, I woke up. It was very awesome to get my first LD and so concious and real. I woke up at 09:48 and started writing at 09:49. Thank you for this forum to keep my moral up.
Sincerely;
Hackfleisch

Premonition

So, around noon, when we were driving to a fossil dig site to find some fishies, I suddenly remembered what may have been a dream:



I was in the car with my brothers and dad, and we were turning onto a portion of road that has been closed until this day of our vacation here in Utah. We drove up the hilly road, over a mountain. I remember it being fairly steep, and winding and there was a rock wall on our right, and a ledge with a few small trees to our left. I remembered the curvature of the road and the imagery very vividly...



Which is what made me ask, in the car today, "Did we take N. O. Pass yet or did I dream that...?"
"You dreamt it, Kestrel."
"Oh."


Later today, we drove on the road, going the other direction. Even going the opposite way, I could tell... it was basically exactly as it had been in my dream. A few curves were slightly different, but the steepness and the landmarks were exactly the same.


I have never been on this road. It's been closed the whole time we were here, until today. This was such a surreal experience for me, and I had to RC a few times in the car because it was the same as my dream.

I Shall be so Late!

I was a few days into my Fall Placement, and I was super late for my class. School starts at 8:45, so I have to be there at least by 8:00 to help my mentor teacher set up the classroom and get ready for the students; but I didn't get there until 9:00, and came in partway during the first day of class. My MT was super nice but disappointed and said she really needed to have me in the class earlier.

I was late the next day as well.

And the next. My MT was getting angry with me, and said that if I was late one more day she would find a different intern and I would fail my fall placement. I was scared, so I stayed out until it was dark, drinking. I wasn't DRUNK drunk, but I was tipsy, and waiting for a bus. I felt like I was in Germany again but I know I wasn't. I accidentally got on the 4 bus, when I need the 2 line. I got off at the next stop, which wasn't too far away from a stop the 2 line goes to, but the neighborhood was sketchy, and there was a large park on the other side of the road, mostly pitch-black except for a small lit portion near a street lamp. there were three figures under the light, and they started walking toward me. I saw the bus coming, thank goodness, and got on the bus. I thanked the driver, but he was confused.





Car Race

I was in a car race, which had a scavenger hunt type event at the very end. I met a guy during the race, and he said that I was an important person in his quest to save the world, or something. Okay maybe it wasn't saving the world. He was writing a song for his son, who had just died at only 6 months old. The lyrics were profoundly inspiring in the dream, but I can't remember them now. I remember that he had written this song when his son was born, but the lyrics fit for his death as well, with the addition of a simple "goodbye." He needed my voice and the voices of people in a choir I was part of. We were supposed to sing it. And it was so beautiful, and so filled with love, but also so melancholy and full of mourning.

Who Are You?

I was walking through the halls of my high school, and bumped into an old classmate of mine. He didn't recognize me or remember me at all. He was all, "Who are you?" when he saw me.

I walked around some more, and bumped into him again, but again he didn't recognize me or a remember anything about me.





Food

I was with Zukin and one of her guy friends, who I'll call S. We were getting food.

DREAM 1

I'm standing next to a bed in an expensive looking apartment. I'm talking to Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta (both UFC affiliated). We're looking at UFC playing cards. They look pretty cool and a bit bigger than your average playing card. Lorenzo shows me a deck which has a fuck up in it. It's showing Vitor Belfort and Ben Rothwell at the weigh ins, giving their stare down before the fights the next day (Strange considering Ben is Heavyweight and Vitor is Middleweight/Light Heavyweight).

Dana's kids run in the room and soon realize I was giving the deck because they kid had 2 of the same and didn't need it. I look on the floor and notice a deck of cards still in its pack.

We're standing in a kitchen and I tell Dana and Lorenzo I'm surprised no ones brought this up in the MMA forums, which is "do you only watch normal wrestling or do you watch all forms including the hardcore matches where they use chairs etc". Lorenzo says he does watch both.

DREAM 2 - 9:50AM

I'm watching people cook on a cooking show. It's the master chef format. One of the contestants which had already been knocked out or was from a previous season is demonstrating a dish. She puts a pad at the bottom of a potato for some reason. She gives another demonstration which involves potatoes again. This time she is using the plastic which holds a six pack of cans together. She calls it a strange name. I see potato that is hanging from the plastic as she pulls it up. She seems a little shaky as if she is a bit nervous and tends to be a little clumsy.

DREAM FRAGMENTS::

I'm watching a porn scene. A man has a couple pumps and finishes. I think it's odd and rewind it. I realize it was towards end anyways, so I watch it from the start. The man looks young and not the type of guy that does porn. He has a abnormally sized penis, which looks very blurry. He places it inside the women slowly.

SIDE NOTES:

Couldn't get to sleep until late and had a horrible sleep. Affirmations were not working this morning, was too tired.

I went to bed reminding myself that I would remember my dreams with some success.

I just remember I was somewhere I didn't recognize and there were people around. I remember someone saying my name saying "that is *my name* and some other name's thing or stuff... I remember seeing a small box with stuff in it. I possibly remember a chess piece or some other item they were referring to...

[My second entry of the series of dreams of "Lin"]

I was in the phantasmic portal and I somehow spun myself into a scene of a house. I searched for Lin and found her sitting on a chair in a room in blankets. She seemed irritated and tired for some reason. I asked her on a date and she said yes. She sort of just fell asleep after that. I was amazed by the clarity of the dream again, looking around, noticing the color of her eyes and immersing myself in the dream. I was surprised to have time left over to actually sit and think about the experience while sitting next to her. I forgot to ask where we should go unfortunately.
Note: I thought the meditation wasn't working at all until the next thing I knew, I was just there. Like just waking up in the phantasmic portal.
