((So wow! I had a random lucid when I when I took a nap today... but I didn't write it down, or remember it when I woke up because I hadn't been practicing my dream re-call. So unfortunately, it's a short few fragments. But, they are clear fragments, and they feel like they could connect to full on dream memory if I keep pushing them))

I was in my neighborhood. Everything looked so clear and real, as if I was in the waking life. I knew I was dreaming, and I saw I was on a metal platform that was floating in my driveway. No idea how I got there, no idea how I got lucid, no idea what the hell was happening in my dream, I didn't care. In my backyard, were a bunch of strange looking creatures, like combinations of animals. One was a crocodile mixed with a bunny/cat (basically, it had a crocodile head.) I tried to fly, and succeed, I flew up a little bit then gently floated down again. I got super excited about this, and my heart rate went up, and I felt the dream destabilizing. I picked up that crocodile thing I mentioned early, and started cuddling and perpetuating it, which calmed me down and stabilized my dream greatly. After that I was doing lot's of experiments, before I was too, but I only remember these two parts of the dreams. Also, a winter cliff for some reason.

((That's all I got. Technically speaking, it was a semi-lucid, but I was lucid enough to consider it 'full' lucidity, like in-between. I know it was a long Lucid dream two, because I feel it, like the whole thing is in my head but I just need to crack it. If I do, I will come back here and put the rest in a seperete journal. I feel my body and brain to go back to sleep, as if I can get it back if I try a re-entry, so I'm going to try that. Peace out everyone.))

A lucid occurred. A DILD.

It was short however, and I was not able to do my abilities well like before. I know its because I have been messing up my consistent sleep schedule as of late and making lucid dreaming a abstract importance. However now, since, I have been taking DILD, Meditation, and SAT (Puffy's technique) seriously, I have been lucid dreaming at least twice a week, and keeping a clear mind to be able to do so. I realized though, after this last lucid, that I need to be able to familiarize myself with my dreams to make it much more vivid. My first Lucid was life-like and I couldn't tell reality from dreaming that day and I want to recreate that clarity. So I am now taking it as of much importance and it's been making feel great and light.

I'll stop rambling and tell you the dream

I woke up in my bed and lunged up, I knew I was lucid and confirmed it via nose plug. It was sort of hard to walk around at first but eventually I was able to. I changed clothes by mental capacity and looked at my feet. I realized at that moment I am in a ninja outfit. I leaped out the window in the night and began walking around. People were not noticing me since I was jet black. I was very stable and just spent the dream walking around noticing the world around me was a suburban neighborhood but different. I noticed it was more alien like with the glowing blue balls of light floating around and the bio luminescent plants scattered about. I then thought of sprinting quickly, so I did and with the velocity of the speed, my vision slowly faded, and I caught the transition of dream to awakening. I felt my body laying down and slowly linking to waking up and felt my eyes opening. So I could have done a DEILD if I knew instinctively to do that but....yeah.

Can't remember much, But I know I was lucid. I was in my room and my lamp was on so I knew I was dreaming the moment I realized it was on and not completely dark. I plugged my nose to confirm it. I was able to grab "the fabrics of reality" and cause the walls to close in and invert for fun. I looked at the left side and it the wall was dripping like it was water. I grabbed a piece of it and it was like holding jello. I let it drop on the floor and confirmed it to summon a elf girl who strangely looked like my ex. We had conversations and the dream was getting more vivid. I lost lucidity once she pounced on me and started making out with me.



This was a last Saturday lucid but forgot to journal it here.

I slept a nap at three until half past five. I intended to do WILD but i felt asleep without being aware. Here it is what i dreamt:

• I was with Edward Snowden in a house in Thailand. He was helping my mother because some poeple in the bank were trying to scam her heritage money. She was trying to buy a house, but the bank was estimating how much she had to offer her a house where she could pay only interests of it and loose all the money without having payed a single dollar on the house. So Snowden as a cool guy was there, i was surprised about my mom that she was friend or have met him. Well, he was on a computer trying to hack the bank or something, and they were waiting until they could call the bank's number. So my mother left with my little sister and i was alone with him. I said cool movie you made, and he talked about the movie Citicenfour that yes it was cool but he didn't liked how it finished, that it was said that he would finish a foreign course or something like that about computer. I told him well, there are many possibilities in life, that it was not like a hollywood movie where they would invent an epic ending or something similar, it was real life and it is often said that life goes beyond science fiction. He was given back permission to go back to United States and he was living there. After i said those words to him i went out the window and started to jump in the roofs. There was a large cloth in a building that people was complaining about because it was not hooked so well, and it was responsibility of buddhist monks. If a wind blew it could fall and due to the size of it it could kill people.
  
• The other dream was me being in the house of my grandfather or my fathers. I took a banana and i ate it, i was going through doors (probably Baigorria's house) but i was heading to the bathroom. So i went to the third bathroom of the house while my father questioned me why i didn't go to the second one, and i told him i already know that one, i want to find out how the third looks like.

I finished dreaming. I thought i had wrote down some notes but i didn't, so memories was all i had.

I was in a hall, looks like an old school hall. The light had a bright but sepia tone to it like afternoon sunlight. I was standing in various lines waiting for lunch. The lines were quite confusing and it was hard to find out where I was supposed to stand. There were dull, savory pastries being served in a broth. There were various kinds, some with meat, others for people with allergies.

Jees, what the hell happened to my dreams recently. They are even more boring than my real life these days.

My favorite dream that I had last night was one that I was at Bratayley's house. I was talking to Annie, and I was really excited, I kept giving her hugs. I woke up and did my wbtb, and decided to induce a dream about meeting her, since I had found it so pleasing. (I was doing mild) I'm not sure if my thoughts turned into really dreams about it, but it seemed like I really had an induced dream about meeting Annie.
Another dream last night that stood out to me was that me and my brother were in Paris, and I was running to keep up with him. For some reason everyone there was Mexican and spoke Spanish. We kept running until we reached a staircase. We then ran down it, where there was a whole bunch of people preparing a feast.
I also had several dreams about dreaming about LDing last night too.

I'm with my mother and sister, we're travelling and looking for a bird, a white phenix. My sister thinks it's a small thing, but I'm convinced it's bigger, like a swan. My mother gives me reason, and we see a crude drawing of it: it has a curved, yellow beak, long head feathers and golden trails in it's tail. We're walking around in a town with houses connecting to each others, some of them with public pathways going in the middle of them. I'm separated from my family and keep looking for the bird. I cross path with Michael, my novel character; he's dressed in a traveler garb, holding a backpack. We chat a little, a very tall, brown haired man joining us brefly, but I feel compelled to go, and Michael isn't the kind to linger anywhere. He gives me a sweet smile and goes on his way, into a forest at the end of the town. I wander into a older part of the place, the light is fading and the building are very dirty and mouldy, leaning over the street. I reach the end of the path; through a long, narrow window I can see a bright orange sun setting over the forest, miles and miles below me. It's breathtaking, and before thinking about it I flight myself off the path and into the void, but instead of falling I soar up on bright white wings.

I was to be born. I had no physical body yet. And I saw gods, they had plans for me. There was also someone who was my mother, but not physical one. She had clothes made of bread... And I eat from those clothes. And she spoken with one of higher gods, she tried to make him to teach me. She wanted him to teach me for 16 years. He said: No. Mother was disappointed. But that god continued: Even 17 years will not be enough... I will teach him for 18 years.
I don't know what I learnt during this time. Time jumped and I found myself meditating on the orbit of the Earth. Without any protection in quietness of vacuum. I was upon dark side of Earth, I saw only thin crescent of by Sun lighten atmosphere... and vastness universe full of stars. I felt I had to fly back... So I flew down fast. The air burned orange hot around me. I went back where gods lived. There was very long stool with chairs. We used to hold debates there. Some of gods were not exactly friendly towards humans. One of them(Anubis) held soul of girl. I felt connection to that girl. I felt the need to save her. So I tricked somehow Anubis to look at something for just long enough to take that girl from him and to take it to chair where I used to sit(there was written Isis on the chair) For some reason Anubis named me Bhagavadita (I looked on internet and I found something named Bhagavad Gita... but that is a book according to internet???) So Anubis went to me to punish me and to torture the soul I tried to save. I took that girl/soul into arms tightly and started to change mental state. The reality as I observed it changed. I saw us as small clouds of light... I was very bright sky-violet, girl/soul was orange- it looked as if orange ribbons are intermeshing with my larger bright blue-violet cloud... and Anubis was black cloud. Other gods were also differently colored shining clouds. Anubis couldn't overpower me.
Then again, I found myself on the earth orbit, on the dark side... in vacuum. I started to think... how could I breath vacuum? I found out that I don't breathe. Nothing to worry I decided. Breathing is disturbing my meditation. I observed myself enclosed in about half meter thick blue-violet aura. After some time I felt I need to go back. So I flew down and I woke up.

Remarks
It was somewhat chaotic dream.
Isis was my mother?
I was Bhagavadita? I remember seeing that book(cover of it) in book store. I didn't read it.
Holding that soul/girl was so great... I felt her missing after I woke up.

I set the alarm at 5:30 AM so i can do a WBTB and try WILD technique maybe to have a lucid dream and break the dry spell, but i would see something that OpheliaBlue said last night on Chat that is: "I find that DILD is like algebra and WILD is like calculus. You cannot do the second if you haven't learnt the first, but after you have learnt the second it easies the first". This is what happened to me last night:

I was in my bed thinking about plants, specially about Salvia and Cannabis, plants i would not like to have, but at the same time that i would like to have just to have some plants. I was thinking where i could have them, how i would take care of them. And i find myself in a shop buying some plant pots. The shop keeper showed me two main kinds, so i bought one of the larger and i payed him and then i decided to buy two of the smaller ones. He told me "go outside, to the right, head down there and pay them there". I thought and i said "Mm ok". I went out thorough the big door, it was a large building where i was. I see that the street was large, as an earth highway, but there werent many shops there and not many houses, it was probably part of a route. I headed to my right and i went down. It was an earth path (similar to the side stand of some houses in Argentina) and i saw some dogs outside and an open door, and there were people inside. Next to the door i saw a window with some women. So i went there and i asked if i had to pay there, and she said yes. So she tell me the ammount and i hear (13 with 30). I couldnt believe what i heard since the other one was only a bit larger, it was one and it costed a lot more, like 5 times more. So i asked again and she replied to me 13.30, still couldn't believe her, so i asked again [Lol i should have realized i was dreaming, yet i did not] and she said 13.30, still couldn't believe her but i decided that okay i would pay... so i took out 13.30 pesos and i payed her, and she refused to take it, she said "no no no, thirteen thirty" i was like ... wtf so i gave her the double 26.6, and i think she took it [maybe this reminded me when i used to play poker, when i betted some ammount of chips some players wouldn't go, but if i doubled the ammount they would call]. Then the shop keeper came and asked something like what was going on, so i explained to him the situation, and that i was not trying to scam nor anything but just try to resolve the conflict.

Then i went to my house. It was a big house and i was living there with my sister.

The next dream i have is being in the street Bolivar, in my bicicle, and there was a shop nearby which i knew it was of an exfriend. So i entered and left the bicicle in the entrance. It results that my sister was working in that shop, with another girl. She was speaking on phone. It was a quite big shop. I see there was a TV turned off and a guitar, so i go and grab the guitar. And since my sister was talking on phone she asked me not to play it. So ok. Suddenly the shop changes and i don't realize it. It looked more like a barn. I see my father for a moment and some workers. Actually the place looked like my father's factory, and the workers like the workers of my father. So there were like 4 or 5 of them, all busy. And soon i see my grandfather and he tells me come with me to say hello to these people, so i went and we quickly said hello to everyone and he introduced me.

The next dream is a bit confusing. I was underground but i knew where i was. I was in the subway or train station in the city of Cordoba, Argentina. I was beyond the dining hall of the university, but it results that was going through the street Ituzaingo, but also heading past the street San Juan. So a mixture of those three places/streets.
What's next i was with some members of my family, and this is really weird but we were playing with the food, leaving it in some table with our hands. I was having corn and it was invisible! I could note how much of it it was because of tactile sensation.

Then i woke up.

To conclude i can say: that a WBTB would work perfectly probably as a MILD before WILD,if i would have developed DILD skills.
I found some situations which was tipically of dreams, like the woman unable to speak properly, like nasal sound, and always saying 13.3. Those are perfect moments for reality checks.
I should "expand" my imagination in my dreams since the scenario is still limiting. Although i dreamt with new characters at the beginning of the dream i had recurring family members in my dreams, and i think that is limiting as well.
I found myself in a scenario where i dreamt already, which doesn't exists like that in real life. So i can put that as a rare dream sign, the university dining hall.
When i notice supernatural stuff such as invisible food, instead of getting excited i should do reality checks and then get excited because i have a lucid dream.

That was all.

early:
+ (f) backpack in the bed of the pickup truck, I need to move things into the cab in order to be able to drive

+ (impression) in a large house, flying around, people around

+ friend MR is learning to play <my instrument>. It's going to be a while before he can play a duet with me because he's just starting. I think about/see a mouthpiece.

+ (f) with a guy stopping at a place that has a restaurant and a convenience store. The convenience store is really crowded, this is a good location with a lot of traffic.

later:

+ Sitting at a bar counter talking with a guy telling him all about double buffering, 2d vs. 3d, vertical retrace. Leave and encounter a guy I worked with a long time ago, we're going off again to solve a problem we solved 20 years ago.

There's a little dog who barks out something that sounds like "Bad dog!", which makes me laugh.

Talking about a piece of software, the question is how to save the images. Should the app save the image in the resource section of the executable or somewhere else? Then the view changes to a large athletic field at a University. Still a thought remains about the application. It's early morning but the sky is clear, no clouds. I notice down towards the end of the fence around the field is a topless girl. I think they're out to catch some sun. I get the impression of naked girls around the fence.

Spoiler for a bit risque:

Moving up towards the university, there is a narrator telling about how the standards of fallen. Inside is the art room of a (dead?) painter in the university. I think he was just an "old goat" who liked to use his profession to get close to nude models and paint their pubic region. Several close-ups of female models pubic region with sculpted and artistic pubic hair arrangements: leaves, flowers, abstract shapes.

+ (semi-epic) lying on couch, head towards the middle (pointing towards dining room) and suddenly a full-sized adult pig jumps up on the couch and snuggles in right next to me, I'm lying almost on top of it. It's head is facing the other way. I'm touching it's bristly skin. I think "pigs make great pets!". I look back and notice my mom is leaning up against the end of the couch, the pig's face is pushed up against her. I get a creepy feeling that she is enjoying the pig "too much."

I get off the couch and I'm flea-combing my cat and dog (switches between them). I'm putting the fleas into a bowl of warm soapy water from the comb. One flea jumps off the comb on to the carpet and I'm trying to catch it. It's hopping 2-3 inches very quickly and the carpet is making it very hard to see and catch it. I eventually run the comb through the carpet and pick it up and quickly move it into the water. The flea is walking along the surface and I'm trying to dunk it down. My cat gets up and walks away. I feel something brush against my back.

I look around the carpet and notice that it is dotted with a number of small (3-4 inches) shallow pools of water, in which are swimming a bunch of little fish. I stand up and notice that covering this floor of the house a 3-4 inch deep layer of water. I go to the dining room and look out the sliding glass door and see that the entire area is flooded with water right up to the level of the deck [which makes it a biblical flood since my childhood home is at an elevation of about 1000 ft.]. I go back out the front door and see the edges of the flood poking in to the front yard. I run upstairs and call to my parents to come and see the flood. I'm thinking I hope my dad will help me with the sandbags.

My dad comes downstairs but looking out the sliding glass door the water is gone. Looking more carefully I see the water level is lower and suddenly while I'm watching it drops another 100 feet or more and I call out "did you see that!?". I'm calling urgently to my dad to come to the living room to see the pools of fish there. He moves slowly and I keep calling him to hurry. He gets there and it seems that some bowls of fish have spilled and the fish are flopping there but the pools are mostly gone. I ask my dad if he's going to clean up the tadpoles I see lying in a place on the carpet but he indicates he does not want to.

back to sleep / sleep inertia:

+ baseball play: bunt, many replays, the runner was clearly safe on first, I demand (hope?) that there will be a review and the inning will be allowed to continue. The first base coach tells the runner "get back on base!" The runner cannot rely on hearing (the ball?) and should run to first base at top speed.

+ sitting with girls outside on chair, I'm about to sit down at a table and a girl sneaks in and takes my seat. one gets up and brushes up against me moving past me and a bit of her breast runs across my hand.

+ in my cousin's house, the book about diamonds in a bookshelf with many books, I think if you read all these books you'd know a lot of things, should I go upstairs?, there's a girl up there, but maybe going up there would be conspicuous.

+ talking about illegal garbage dumping and avoiding discovery in the back garden under the drainpipe with lots of drops of water coming down

+ going for a walk with wife and son and leaving the park through a private garden of someone we know who's quite wealthy whom I hear talking through their open front door, my wife sees a plant she wants to have so she pulls off a leaf (it's sort of a lettuce plant) and I get nervous we'll be discovered. I prepare a statement in a foreign language talking about their "former baseball team" (prior dream?). There are very beautiful flowers of all sizes lining the stairs that we're climbing to the road, in particular the yellow roses are lovely.

Outside the garden on the street, across the street I see that our car (where I remember it being parked) is now tightly surrounded by very expensive big cars like Range Rovers. There must be a mafia meeting or something now. I keep looking but just can't see our car. We go around to the side and our car is there apparently, a convertible, and my wife gets in and some old Asian women get in and one takes my spot in the front seat, I will need to ask her to move.

D1 - A man with black hair and glasses and a long tan trench coat (he plays villain in a lot of my dreams, he's ok at it), is at a counter trying to pretend to be somebody else to get money or something. The worker, an old man round man with white hair and spectacles is dealing with him.
He starts to give the villain a phone number and is half way through when I use mind control thinking "no no..don't do it!" He stops in his tracks realising this man may not be as genuine as he thought. The man gets very agitated and starts to kick off. He somehow manages to get hold of something and leaves.
Outside is a cobblestone street and shops and some houses, leading to a archway into a courtyard. There are lots of general public about but I notice a load of school girls in brown uniforms. I use mind control to take them over and set them after the villain. He is accousted in the courtyard and they drag him away with little fuss, there are lots of them
I get them to hurt him but then a part of me wakes up to the fact that I shouldn't be hurting dream characters as they are a part of myself.
With this new intent I re-enter the dream and find the villain escaping down a tunnel leading to the subway. He disappears round a corner, so I use telekinesis to drag him out. He comes flying out. At this point I get lucid, everything feels different and lighter. The guy who looks slightly different now comes at me Oo. I freeze up a bit but have the courage to try and hug my mad(?) assailant. His expression changes ansd he opens his arms to hug me breifly but then lucidity and the dream fade.

D2 -Outside my parents house (as it was many years ago) my brother is in the garden at night. Inside the lights are on. The fuel storage has been set a light by me. I realise inside is also stored framed photographs of the schoolgirls with somekind of official form and signature. I put ourt the fire and hope the damage is not to great though I can see some are burnt round the edges :/

D3 - At school I have not prepared the kids properly for some kind of school performance. Other teacher is running through some basic routine, I am planning on being off sick. Class run through basic routine but their is some swearing.

There appeared to be three delivery trucks outside the window. There were actually two but a reflection of one of the trucks made it seem like there were three. I was excited to get packages though I didn't realize that I hadn't ordered any packages and I didn't realize I was dreaming.

There were other dreams that I don't remember right now.

28/12/15
A fragment about playing dota, I have forgotten a chunk of what happened, silly me for not writing stuff down straight away.
