#349 - DILD - 8:54am

I am in my first house that I bought with my ex but instead I am with Alysha. She's talking to someone and my son is playing a game. There are several boxes with plush green hair balls. You set a timer and they all pop out. You have to put them all back in before the time is up. For some reason the game is spread out on our bed in the living room. I lose interesting in the game and interrupt my wife, "Can we move our bed out of here before we have people over?" She says we can and I start taking the now broken down bed to the bedroom. My wife leaves saying something about 7PM being the bridal shower. Again? I thought she did that last week.

I am now in the master bedroom. There's already a bed. Sunlit filters in the room leaving everything a golden color. At first I am a little sad that its Sunday night and the weekend is almost over. A feeling of a memory enters my mind and it is cozy and comforting. I linger there trying to understand this. I see a clock. It's 7 something.

I walk back down the hall. I think that I had taken a nap until 7 and I hope that I will be able to go to sleep again. I see another clock its 5 something. I get suspicious and grab another clock. It's a distorted 2 with some half-formed digits. I remember that it's actually late morning and I was hoping for a DILD. Well hear it is! I decide to go ahead and nose plug but this time I suck in instead of blowing out. This causes my physical body to snort loudly, jolting me awake.

I had other NLDs but this one was kinda funny. Basically my brother told me about frogs at the park that make marijuana and bury it in little holes in the ground. I was curious about this and wanted to try smoking it. My dad starts ranting and raving about weed. I wonder why weed is so demonized. I start driving but I never make is because the packet of Corn Nuts I was eating said something about causing hemorrhoid flare up. I got really worried and found a bathroom at my parents house, took a hand-held mirror and looked at my own butt-hole. It seemed fine.

I false awaken into my bed.
That's it. I don't move. I don't even open my eyes. It's time to DEILD. (Little did I realize that I was already in a dream.) I can feel where the blankets are on me. I am laying facing to the right on my bed, and there is a gap with cold air leaking through on my left hand side just below my ribcage.
I can sense that there are dream characters in the room. I don't know how, but I can feel there presences. 2 female and one male.
They talk for a few moments, then leave. One female and the male leave leaving only one female.
(Good, two of them are gone.)
I then can feel her leaning over onto the side of the bed. And by the title you can probably guess, she kisses me right on the lips. My eyes shoot open and I lose any sense of restfulness that I had while trying to lucid dream. I reel back to the far side of my bed and take a look at who kissed me.
She has long wavy brown hair and somewhat chubby cheeks, with huge green eyes and a large blemish under her right eye. Nope, don't recognize her.
"Who the-"
Then the false dream memories came. Apparently this was my girlfriend that I had met a few days ago. Also there was some party going on downstairs.
I don't have to be a part of the party, but apparently I do have to spend my time with this girl until the party is over, something her parents wanted me to do or something. So I get out of bed, and make my way over to the dresser. I'm already wearing a T-shirt and boxer shorts, and I find a pair of red&black sweatpants to finish the 'outfit'.
We start talking. She asks me about what I would like to do for fun. I tell her that I am building a rocket ship in the basement (False Memories talking here), and it is a black hole of my time and energy. I then ask her if she gets my joke, a "Black Hole" because a rocket goes to space. She doesn't laugh. I wake up.

Okay, lesson learned, dream girlfriends don't like bad jokes.

After a WBTB with only a vague fragment about work from before, I went back to bed.

I woke up and it appeared that while I was sleeping my husband set up this great wooden train track for the kids as a surprise, and it was well received only my younger son was there to ooh and ah. My husband had also used Christmas lights, awesome. He said to open the shutter to where my orchids were to see more lights there. I opened and there were no lights, but it was amazing how many critters had come out over night: there were slugs and millipedes among my orchids and I was fascinated not concerned. Then I saw the large fish swimming through the air among the orchids, and I thought in wonder. "I am dreaming!" I tried to put my finger through my palm to RC, and as I tried but did not complete the RC I watched and the fish then faded into thin air, but so did my dream.

I was awake, but I thought no problem, I can DEILD right back.

I thought it failed, and so I considered myself awake when I found myself outside a house I considered my own in this dream. It was a dark night. I was excited about having had a lucid, so I danced outside with joy. I think this is when I realized I was dreaming, but I may have it confused. I remember that sometime in this dream I transformed dark into light very bright light but I do not recall whether this was here or later. I reached the front door, and there was this woman there who wanted to talk to me. I knew she was not real, so I was not concerned when she held on to my arm and started talking. I said "Dream character, begone." and I held out a palm of my hand toward her face as I said it. But instead of being gone she started chirping like a bird and transformed into a young man still holding onto my arm. I did not want to stay with him though, so I started flying. As I flew the landscape transformed underneath me. I flew above an ocean, and then above a town (I now recall the town looked kind of like made out of blocks). First I flew myself, but then I discovered a flying carpet underneath me. I was fine with that. I know some of the flight was at high speed but then I slowed down to enjoy the sights.

I woke up and my husband wanted to talk to me, and I said not now I need to find my phone to record this awesome lucid dream. He was nice enough to leave the room, but my younger son came in and wanted something from me. I was searching for my phone in vain and getting more and more frustrated. Finally found the phone.

And that's when I actually woke up. I double checked this time with a reality check. Ah it was not another false awakening! My husband was asleep, and I found my phone without trouble in reality this time. I wrote the lucid down. It was an awesome lucid and very vivid. Part of me wonders whether I forgot anything that happened after the flying carpet - I think there may have been a bit more to this lucid. But I am not going to let that worry me. Yay, lucid!

I had 6 dreams last night that I can remember. I don't remember being lucid during any of them.

dream 1. I was on a plane, looking out the window and writing in the notebook

dream 2. This one was weird. I wasn't me. I was a man. I remember sitting on a couch and having an eye sewn onto my forehead. I lived in the house with a little girl. I wrote in the journal that "I was a genius" and that "I was the bad guy and I was planning something evil". I remember cooking bacon and getting the little girl to feed me ice. Also, there was another man who came to the door. I wrote that "he wanted something and thought he could outsmart me to get it".

dream 3. My brother saw that I had been looking at porn on my mobile phone.

dream 4. I was trying to ride a bike down the dirt road I live on, but I was worried about what the schoolchildren would think if a school bus drove by. Also it was rainy and wet, and the road was bad and I'd forgotten how to ride a bike.

dream 5. Was a question. I remember asking "Am I dreaming for my health?"


dream 6. My brother had a girlfriend who had been recently pregnant. It was a girl I used to know named Ashley (who is not his girlfriend irl). She told me that "your face changes after you give birth", like you get uglier or something.

8/1/14

Last night bed past 11 - 8:30am?

DR
This was very intense. I'm on a shore of a wide river. Think Danube in northern Hungary. The water is very muddy. Some parts seem to be calm, but others have churning waves, small whirlpools and even tall waves going in direction from the shore. It's very fast flowing. Someone tells me that my brother is going to swim across, just because he wants to go to the other side. No serious reason. That makes me mad. Why would he risk his life for something like that.

So I'm running on the shore, yelling his name out. He can't hear me. I think I see him in the water. Somehow I am now on the other side, waiting for him to emerge. You can't really see him in the water, because of turbulent water.

I am really worried. Then I see him walking out of the river. He has some kind of a full body neoprene suit, including the hood, and something else over it.

Now I'm in some kind of a catle, or ruins rebuilt for turists, walking down a hallway built from large light - gray stones and I'm walking on sand.

DR
I'm walking with more adults and kids on some path in the outdoors. On a hill, no trees. We decide to split into 2 groups and I'm leading one group of kids into some summer camp.

DR
I'm standing on the city square in my hometown. It's in the past, maybe 50's. Communists rule the country. Everybody is dressed in period clothes and also eqipment is from that era. Some kind of commie action is going on. Parade or speech.

I look up and some confetti and propaganda flyers are raining down on us. My mom starts climbing on top of a bus or a van that's right behind us. There is a TV crew with camera on top, filming the event. My mom wants to look at the TV screen they have upthere.

DR
I'm with my best WL friend. In the dream, I can't remember her name, and after waking up it took me a while to recall it.

I'm giving her a single rose as a thank you. I gave some potted bluish plant to some other people, also as a thank you. She gets mad at me for giving it to her. I'm telling her that it's from some people that appreciate her's and mine work, and I'm just relaying the message from them to her.

Then I learn that she changed her name to Ophelia93. And I'm like "whoa, so you are Ophelia, and how about the other Ophelia, and is this just one person, or what is going oooooon?"

DR
I'm watching a canal in Venice from some higher vantage point, like a window maybe. I see a gondola with one gondolier. There is a large fish approaching his boat. It's like a giant goober. It's so big and fat and colorful.

8/1/14 restaurant with a spinning ride. Trying to cut through to restroom I plan to go through ride platform but end up riding with BrM from work and barely hanging on with just my hands. First try to go through exit door and I'm stopped by waitress. / pro baseball game. Great pitcher won it for other team. I'm on field afterwards. Baseball again..? / I feel like I was not that far off from forgetting this one too: I become lucid when I am at a party in a cafeteria setting that seems to be in (a particular foreign country I will leave out for now because of the tie in to FryingMan). I see "A", daughter of M who lives about 90 minutes north and I realize it would be very odd for her to be in this country at the same time as me and that it is a dream. Everyone is speaking the national language it seems and I try to think of a phrase that FryingMan said before so I could see what their reaction would be. I am also wondering if a DC of him might have been there. I just talk to the daughter that I know telling her that this is a dream and she looked on like she was listening but not surprised or anything. There are two long tables that I go to in this cafeteria like setting, probably residue from the party I attended few days ago. I walk up to this other table with about 6 people at it. The previous table had maybe 8 people. I was trying to think of some foreign phrase to say to the people sitting there but decided to move on and went out through the exit and into a hallway and got down to the end of the hallway and the dream went dark. I remained patient and focused stabilizing the dream and soon the visuals came back up and it seemed like I was in the same hall. I decide to go back the other way and I could hear a party going on in another door to my left and I decided to check it out and it was definitely a different party. They had disco lights going with some people dancing but mostly standing around and this time it was a very diverse crowd. People of all colors. I thought about going in there but decided to go continue down the hall and was just relishing the vividness of this dream. It started to fade again but this time I found myself fading back to bed. Probably the end of my REM cycle. 180


Some notes from Night 4 where I think I got lucid but I am not sure...ugh:

7/31 11pm, 5am violent shooting scene day residue from "Shoot'em Up" movie opening sequence before bed. Mole steps out of compound to save himself. Another guy is drawn out and blinded by bright spotlight. And shot with high powered machine gun in slow motion from midsection to head with bullet after bullet tearing through his head. I slowly peel my eyes away from this scene. Survivor going through multiple surgeries is tough as nails but also affected mentally - in one scene looks in shock. /Poor recall lately. As mentioned on the competition thread... I think I became lucid noticing that I was downtown just like I told myself to watch out for as a dream sign because of train sounds. Earlier I remember riding the train and getting on the wrong train just a minute early...just a minute before my actual train came. I was trying to look out the train window to see which destination I was heading to instead but the destination was illegible. There was at least one false awakening where my wife is getting ready and I can see her naked. I remember trying to go back into the dream (I think from the beginning of the (first?) false awakening) and having vibrations. I was so happy to see the vibrations back but I think it was all in dream (maybe it always is).

I've been getting lucid at times but I'm not really motivated to write them honestly. But I'll write it now. In last night's dream I was watching adventure time with my family and it was pretty creepy. After my cousins left words appeared saying ingredients to a dream. I remember one ingredient was Biley. Which I thought of billy from the bucket list episode. After reading it I left the room and appeared in a huge place outside with seats outside and a fence and lots of teens and college kids. I flew to where I thought was the entrance for the college fresh men's or w/e. I heard a kid behind me say or in front of me say" I want her". I was nervous at that point and without control bumped into the kid and grabbed him cause I couldn't control my flying. Then all of sudden we flew really high. We screamed as we went up. I apologized and screamed for someone to save us. But than I landed back on the ground with the guy safely and let go of him. I apologized and he shouted if I was crazy or something. I said no I just couldn't control my flying but if he still wanted to date me. XD He shouted no and got the paper from the guy in the front booth or w/e it was. I was dissapointed, took my paper and looked at the guy to see him looking back at me smiling. I was sort of happy at that moment and looked at my paper. It looked like a Christmas holiday paper and said 25$ to the side of it. I was like "dang it!I only have 20$ in my pocket so I can't pay it off now. " I also doubted my mom would give me the money. I walked wanting to sit with the boy I bumped into but was too nervous so I walked way up to see old friends sitting at a table. I asked if I could sit down and the boy said yes. I than waved to another old friend who was a girl sitting across a table.Out of no where China Ann McClain from Disney channel came up to me and showed me a special paper she got where they offered her free pork,potatoes and ribs but her friend said she would choke if she ate it. I was excited for her at first but than said "well..."Than a huge guy landed on the ground holding a huge girl from behind. I said "Look" to point out the guy who I thought saved the girl from choking than woke up.

Old dreams

I was in my house hanging out with someone. Than my sister and family went outside and told me to dance with them in the front. I said OK and tried to dance on the stairs like a idiot. Than my sister out of no where said my dad broke my mom's hand. I looked at my mom's hand to see it bleeding and in bandages. I got mad and was lucid at that point."I'm going to have to fight you Dad." I said and got into a fighting position. Suddenly my dad did a bunch of fighting moves and I was like "OK.OK. I give up. I can't fight you,your too good."Than I saw a crowd of kids and followed them through a door on a line.I was sort of scared and saw sodgers with hammers giving kids instructions. I knew I wasn't one of them and tried going down the escalators. I was afraid of all the people hammering around me. When I got down I saw a lady sodger shouting at my dad saying my dad did not have the acceptable blood in him to be apart of them. My dad ran and my mom shouted that she was after my dad. I ran and jumped trying to find them. Than flew in the air to see a huge statue of a girl and saw people talking below. I was mad I couldn't find my dad that I landed on the ground and used ice power. I was going to freeze all the sodgers when I realized there was a picture of Mozart under me. I summoned him as a giant wanting to crush the sodgers but the dream broke apart. Than a character gave me a sticky note saying The End and I woke up,

I was in my kitchen with my family and my cousin brought a alien from TMNT to the counter. I shouted at her not to put the alien on the table. My mom shouted back at me after that and I was lucid at that point. I used my powers to blast them away and ran outside. My mom tried chasing me and when I tried running off the porch I was sooooo slow. So I rubbed my hands than let myself sink through the ground. After that I ran and saw a crowd I thought was tourists. I walked with a guy up the hill and he asked me if I was in my RPG avatar. I asked him what he meant but suddenly he told me to run cause a group of dangerous guys were coming. We ran up the hill but when I got up I was so slow and the bad guys were already catching up to me. I stood there ready to fight. The good guy came back though and started fighting them but than the bad guy grabbed the good guy. I shouted for him to stop and punched many times but it was no good. The man said it was my fault the guy's teeth were going to get pulled out. He tried pulling and I kept punching. The good guy dissapeared after that and I ran. A group of girls grabbed me and tried giving me a needle shot. I shouted and tried punching until I broke free. Than suddenly two Spanish lady's cornered me and were talking like nothing. I kept punching them till I broke free. I was happy and ran. A guy with shorts screamed No! and ran after me. I was like "Cya later sucker!" than woke up.

I will not say more old dreams because two others I recall were about a scary little girl that I had to defeat. I was so scared cause she seemed so scary and evil in the first dream.But I destroyed her in my other dreams and the dreams of her stopped. Haven't had her in my dreams for weeks. She came in my dream in only 2 days but those dreams had so many false awakenings its crazy. But the more FA I had, the more chances I had to conquer my fear. :3

Dream
8:30am

I give an old lady a DVD player to keep. She sets it up herself and must of had a few problems with it. I try it out and notice that everything is working fine for a moment until it starts playing up. I check behind the DVD player to see if she has connected it up properly. I notice that she has only connected one cable up. I grab the box that all the cords are in and tell her she forgot to connected the rest of them. I see a cord which is only used for a car, I tell her about that cord and what it's use is for. I remember that I needed a HDMI cable which wasn't in the box, I must have left it at home. Instead I use the other cables instead.

Dream Fragments:

1. Im waiting to get a haircut. There's people waiting also, about 3-4. The barbers call out names when they're ready for a haircut.

2. I'm looking into the mirror and see that I have an eyebrow ring. I start to clean it and I see layers of scabs come off of it.

Dream started with me in the rest room, I told myself if tis mirror started changing my appearance I will become lucid. As I stare at the mirror it begins to wobble and then starts to make my face disappear when that happen I became lucid and quickly open the rest room door and enter the living room while hearing a drilling sound that went away quickly afterwards. I started talking to myself as I observe the living room that it took me quite awhile to fall asleep. I notice all the chairs blocking the door and saw at the back door that it was shape differently from how it would be in waking life. It was as if the dream knew I wanted to go outside but it wanted to prevent me from doing so. I went to the unusual door and turn the very old looking knob after that happen I only find another door staring in my face. It look exactly the same as the last I tried opening it again and it once again appear the same door , I open it 3 more times to only find the same result.

I began wondering why? I started noticing my perception was horrible it was as if I was permanently tired and about to slip unconscious at any moment. I wonder how could I fix this because if I didn't know how I know my time being lucid would be cut shorter. I began ranting at the dream because I found it so illogical that I am unconsciously holding myself trap when I literally know I want to leave. I reach the front door while seeing one of the chair blocking the knob so I try to phase through the front door but it teleported me to Father room on the bed. I became confuse not sure if I was still dreaming or was awake now. I quickly did a reality check by looking at my hands they look completely 100% non dreaming. I lost lucidity as the dream continue. Lucidity Time 1 minute.

I had this little dream I remembered but hadn't written in my journal last night.

It was late at night, I was outside and it was dark and gloomy, just barely bright enough for me to see my surroundings. I was on the run, I had some people chasing me, there was a scavenger hunt of some sorts going on and I had just grabbed a plastic bag which had a bunch of ham in it and ran away. I was scared that I was going to be caught, so I ran as fast as I could around some buildings and found a field of grass behind them, and layed down as flat as I could in the grass, knowing that someone would come looking for me. I figured I was low enough not to be seen, but the plastic bag of ham out to my left might have been more visible. I stayed still for a good few minutes, worry running through my mind. I could hear voices coming closer, and they sounded like a couple of old buddies I had from high school. I jumped up and sprinted away to my right towards a small office building, but inside was an older thin man, who was working security.

Inside was small and brightly lit, with a desk in the corner and the walls barely decorated. He saw me and immediately sounded the alarm, crap! I knew there was only one thing to do, shoot him. I shot at him, and a bunch of people ran inside. I knew suddenly that I had messed up, this shouldn't have turned out that way, and I had to fix it up. The people chasing me ran in to the office and saw what had happened. I reached in to my pocket and pulled out a small parabolic dish attached to a handle, this was a special ray-gun which had the ability to reverse time, but I had no idea how it worked. I assumed that if I pointed it in the direction of the man I shot, he would simply reverse and be alive again. I pointed it and pulled the trigger, but not just the man went backwards, but everything in the room was affected, including me. It created some really strange distortions as things started going in reverse, people walked out of the room and the dead man came back to life. When I decided I had gone back sufficiently far, I released the trigger and waited. This time there was no alarm, and the officer seemed rather happy instead. It was very bright, as though it was now day time and the sun was glowing through the window lighting up the room. The people who had run in though, alerted me to the fact that not everything was as it seemed, and I could feel some strangeness throughout my body. I knew that reversing time would have adverse effects, and it felt as though my hand had turned to goo, even though it still looked fine. One of my friends who ran in pulled out their phone and showed it to me. One half of it was normal, but the other half was distorted, with the letters and numbers sliding off of the phone. Whoops!

I was in the Province of Tamriel, running around doing quests as usual. I finished a quest and got another few that were part of the main questline. One was titled "Slay Hand" and they each popped up in front of me in big white letters, as they would in the actual game. After getting these quests, I traveled to the location that they asked me to. It was some kind of either farm/temple/castle thing. I'm not really sure. Either way, it looked entirely different depending on where you were seeing it from, (as in, whether you were outside in the front, in the back, inside in the main room, out in the courtyard-ish thing) though it was never really that "grand" however you looked at it. Some kind of fairy queen lived there and there, as well as a family. I continued completing and receiving quests there but I never seemed to finish the "Slay Hand" quest. A few of the quests involved me helping the residents of the farm/castle/temple bring in their goats or rams or whatever before "something" happened. It was either some kind of storm or an attack. I can vaguely recall part of the questline involving some monsters who wanted to attack the fairy queen, so that might have some relevance to that particular scene. I also had to travel away from the farm/castle/temple for a few quests. One of the quests involved me partaking in one of their family games where one of the girls (she was somewhat tomboyish) would throw insects out of a bag and I would have to catch them. Being that I have a fear of insects, I never caught any and instead tried to dodge each throw. When one got stuck on my face, she asked if I was scared of bugs ( she was very clearly having the time of her life here) and told me there was one on my face. I tried to shake my head to get the bug off and ended up banging my head on the wall behind me in real life. However, there are a few more details I'd like to take note of here. Throughout my journey, I had some kind of party with me. One of the party members was a woman who reminded me of a fusion between Carol and Andrea from The Walking Dead. At one point, when entering the building, I tried to act polite and gentlemanly letting the lady go in first and though, "What a bitch!" as she shooed me off rather viciously, preoccupied with another member of the party. I then questioned why I never really treated her as a girl or even though of her as one and inferred that it was because she acted like a man quite often. Also, I was completely aware (for the most part) that I was playing a game and even told the characters something along the lines of "Man, I really hope this questline doesn't end soon. This place is awesome!" At this point, I was thinking about the later quests (which, aside from my "added details", actually are in the game) where you

Spoiler for SPOILER ALERT:

have to capture that one dragon and go fight Alduin in his other dimension place thingy.

Although I had the general gist of the quests in mind, the whole memory was tainted by memories of other dreams I'd had and thoughts of the game Myst. (I somehow thought the ending of Skyrim took place in some kind of Treegate-ish area.) Finally, I remember noticing I had on some white and gold armor with a velvet red cape, suggesting to me that I was a noble of some sort.

TOTAL DREAMS: 81

TOTAL LUCID: 4

Average dreams per night: 2,6

Dreamsigns: Prison, school, begin/ending of school (year), danger, stress, friends, night sky, war, alone

Best technique(s): DEILD, SSILD

Personal evaluation: Interrupting sleep with early alarms lowers overall DR and should be replaced with naturall awakening using auto-suggesting.

Goals for next month: 8 lucid dreams and an average DR of 3 dream per night.

Special notes: /

Don't remember much.

I'm in some sort of underground network, mining or digging or something with some other people. I notice a tunnel that goes very far. I wonder who could have made such a tunnel. My friends think I'm looking for the bathroom.

I'm walking down a street and there's something about a guy telling me that his mom lets him sleep on a filthy mattress or something like that.

There are these mini gargoyle things everywhere and I'm putting bird wings on them with the object gun from Garry's Mod. I can't get them all because I'm on the move, but all the gargoyles come with me and we fight these dragons that are on the raised walkway of a castle, like the great wall of china.

I was hanging out in my house, it was night time, and I suddenly felt like I was in a dream. In fact, I was so confident that I was in a dream that I tried to run head first through a wall. Ow. Bounced right off and fell over. I wasn't so sure it was a dream anymore, so I tried my usual test and I used mind powers to make a plant fly out of its pot. Didn't work at first, tried again, didn't work, tried again, didn't work. I was feeling pretty stupid, but I tried one last time and it worked! The plant flew out of the pot and turned into a cartoon plant.

I tried walking through the wall this time, still solid . Sometimes the magic works and sometimes it doesn't. I opened the door and started to stroll down the sidewalk when two cars packed with party people peeled into the driveway. My sister was with them and she said, "Wait! Don't go on your adventure yet, I want you to see this thing first". She then disappeared and I followed the party people into a house across the street. It was a pretty mellow party, just people chatting. One of the guys started talking to me (I had sex with his girlfriend in a previous dream so I was a little hesitant that he was going to punch me or something). He said to me, "There's a facility in our backyard that researches genetically modified organisms, we're going to go check it out in a while". Then he started talking about how he was trying to find a way to increase the magnetism of the soil. I said something about either using plates to create an electric field or dispersing magnetic rocks throughout the soil. He liked what I said, but I had a feeling that what I was saying made no sense since my ideas aren't always that great in dreams. I looked up this magnetic soil idea when I woke up and it turns out that it is a real thing. Increased magnetism in the soil will make plants grow larger, faster. Pretty cool!

I saw a couple of my old best friends at the party and I decided it was time to go explore this research facility. While me and several other DC's were walking out the door to the backyard, one of the party people DC's jumped on my back and told me that he was a vampire. I said to him, "Great, so am I"! I knew that we would be great friends. It was still the middle of the night, there was almost no moonlight out. The grass was wet and the air was humid but cool. We walked across a huge field to get to the facility where we were greeted by guard dogs and a guard hyena. They attacked my companions so I walked up to the dogs, one by one, and put my hands over their faces. Smoke came out of my hands each time and entered their bodies. I told them each that they would never hurt another living creature and they all dropped to the ground and pinned their ears back in submission. The vampire DC was still on my back, he would whisper things in my ears as I did unnatural things like, "Yes...YES...very good....YESSSSSssss". We explored the facility for only a few minutes before heading back to the house.

Back inside, the vampire master jumped off my back and went to sit on his vampire throne. I asked him to teach me how to turn into a bat. He was overjoyed at the opportunity and he leapt 20 feet across the room onto a giant stage where he turned very cliche bat-like vampire with the piggy nose and everything. Then he exclaimed to everybody that a new vampire would be joining their coven. I was forced to bow before him. Smoke emanated from his body and filled the room, I breathed it in, and that was supposed to help me turn into a bat. I tried to turn into a bat, but I only managed to turn my arms into wings. I flew around for a few seconds before giving up on that transformation. I thought to myself, maybe a wolf will be easier. I got on all fours and quickly changed into a tiny, white wolf. I pranced around gleefully for a few seconds before I woke up.

These drinks were not intended to be taken as supplements, I was just drinking with friends.... However, I figured I'd mention them as they actually had an effect on my dreams, albeit not a positive one. This is just a fragment in any case.

I was at an apartment with my friend M, which makes sense because I fell asleep in that particular setting after a night of drinking. I remember seeing her in her kitchen and asking her if she had any Tums to help settle my stomach, which was feeling a little distressed after my night of drinking and not being able to get dinner. There was more to the dream than that, but that's where my memory cuts off.

The only reason I even remember this fragment is because when I woke up this morning my stomach was still aching, and I though to myself that I really wish M had had some Tums, not that they would have helped. (Maybe dream placebo?) This is the second time a hangover has seeped into my dreams.... The last time I just had a headache and felt really weak, which made me sit out on a forest adventure.

My thought for the future: probably better not to drink and dream.
