    1. #85 - Unexpected lucid

      by , 04-21-2015 at 11:20 PM (The Oneironaut's Odyssey)
      Black: Non-dream
      Blue: Non-lucid
      Red: Lucid

      I think I'll just term these 'UL' for future reference so I don't write 'omg another unexpected lucid'... The reason these are unexpected is because I haven't done ANYTHING for lucid dreaming in quite a while and I've been really fatigued by lack of sleep because my sleeping patterns gone all weird lately too.

      Dream - UL
      I'm running through the town I come from, it's night time and everything is pretty dark... I run past the bus stop and I jump around a bit in a sort of 'parkour' way. Something just clicks in my mind and I realize I'm dreaming, this time I immediately realize that I need to stabilize since these UL's tend to fade really quickly. I try a few things as I run forward a bit more towards a narrow pathway leading up into the bushes, this pathway is particularly dark. First I'm clapping my hands together, the impact causes the dream to sharpen a bit more, I'm shouting 'stabilize' over and over, I can hear my voice properly (usually if I'm about to wake up this isn't the case) but it's not working properly... After a total 10-15 seconds I fade out into wakefulness. I lie there still and feel the dream coming closer again in a WILD, but I can't quite grasp it.

      Not too sure why I've had a sudden increase in spontaneous lucid dreams but I don't think it's a bad thing

    2. Night of April 20 2015

      by , 04-21-2015 at 09:52 PM (My paranoid adventure into the mind.)
      Tonight definitely wasn't favorable. I could only remember fragments of dreams, and as such I won't give any titles.

      I was trying to get something from a doctor because either I or someone else I knew was sick. We were in this park under a tree. I was also with my grandma.

      I was walking back towards my house. I found this woman who seemed like a family member, so I hugged her. I then remember that sometime later I was walking elsewhere, and my destination was across the street. But because there were no intersections from where I was, I walked backwards from my destination to one so I could get across the street. While there, my brother appeared at the other side of the street, where I was before, and threw something at me.

      I was at a party, and they were serving drinks. There were lots of men and women partying. There was an area of the place that wasn't very lit up, and I was walking around there. I then walked across a hallway and was looking around rooms. There were people doing various things in there that I can't remember.

    3. Flip-flop House

      by , 04-21-2015 at 09:30 PM
      Morning of April 21, 2015. Tuesday.



      I am yet again living back in La Crosse at the King Street “flop house” though I seem to have more possessions than at the time in reality, as they are stored neatly and almost fill much of the room. Yet again, my dream somehow easily “erases” about twenty-five years of intimate experience and memory without a hint (at least at this point) of knowing any other life (again, so much for having “full access to the subconscious” in some dream types - a concept I continue to find more and more absurd as I get older - though it does depend on the dream type and level of overall liminal perception - and supraconscious-level, “sent” dreams or dream layers, and more defined remote viewing dreams remain an extreme exception).

      I am outside later, and there is an impression that the house is unstable for lack of maintenance. The owners seem to be on vacation once again, as their camper is gone. I feel a sense of urgency in knowing that the house is going to “fall over”. I try to warn a couple others on the sidewalk. However, this corner boarding house does not only collapse in a sense but actually dramatically flips like a pancake and is then perfectly upside-down. Many of the windows break and there is damage in the walls, ceilings, and floors, but it is still in mostly full form (at least the first two floors).

      In a way, I am glad it has flipped like this, because I note that it will be easier to move my possessions by just going in and getting them and carrying them out over time at street level instead of tiring myself in going up and down the stairs as would normally be the case. Also, if the house had merely “fallen over”, there would be far more of a strewn mess, making it harder to find my possessions (all of this being some sort of goofy in-dream faux “logic”, I suppose). (Most of the third floor is crushed into the ground, though the second floor is now the first floor and fairly stable to move about in.)

      At one point, I seem to be back inside the building, but it seems to be normal (possibly related to a typical dream “reset” or partial replay of an unfolding theme - “resets” or individual random scene replays being why people probably do not always remember the order of events as certain scenes repeat in a different order while others do not). However, it does seem to take place on the second floor, though the landlord and his wife lived on the first floor in reality, and this is where their relatives and friends also solely visit.

      An extraordinarily attractive dark-haired female (who is a younger version of my wife upon conscious afterthought and realization) tells me that her mother had died in a car accident. Her mother is apparently the landlady, Mrs. W. We hug very compassionately (a common event in my dreams since childhood, and with an enhanced sense of touch, overall pressure, and weight) and she cries on my shoulder as I comfort her. It seems this female may become the new landowner and landlady, although I still do not yet realize she is actually my wife in real life. (Also, in real life, my landlady lived to be over a hundred years old.)

      by , 04-21-2015 at 06:48 PM (Lunar Chronicles)
      I went to class and on the way up the stairs to the back I saw an old friend but when I greeted him he completely ignored me. I was in class at university when the assistants started to hand out attendance sheets. I was sitting with some friends and the teachers assistant was next to me. The lecturer asks us to go back out and hand back the attendance sheets for some reason then come back inside. As I got to the bottom of the lecture hall they didn't let me out but they gave me someone else's attendance sheet. I went back up to my friends and we had to do an assignment. On another piece of paper they gave me it said I had a really low mark out of 100. However there were a few other words there which didn't make too much sense but basically said they mark was wrong. I started to do my assignment and noticed the desk was at a strange angle making in impossible to work. A girl from my high school was in the lecture and her dad was missing a hand where he just had a stump.

      The dream either continued or transitioned into another dream where my brother and I were at the university walking around an talking. He showed me some feat of engineering and saw a friend of his. A guy didn't think my brother knew greeted him before the dream collapsed.

      The beginning of this dream was vague but basically I was a guy with super powers similar to Goku. I could fly around the icy place I was at and I had super strength. My friends at that place were being threatened by enemies with similar powers. They always came to attack us and we fought just outside the barrier where they couldn't pass into our community. I remember I fought their leader and at some stage just before I made it into the safety den one of their guys grabbed me and threw me back. After the fight it seemed that a few people were dead on both sides. I remember flying or running away from the civilization until I reached one of the northeast parts of this world. The dream then transitioned until I was in some place by Canada. I thought I was far away and that no humans would be around to help since I felt mortal again. I slid down an icy river bend and hears voices at the bottom. There was a cop there with a car and he was shooting at some other people. Soon after he got shot and I got into the car and drove it. At first I was worried about driving the automatic but eventually I realized it was manual and the revs were counted by some sort of abstract display. I drove through the gunshots until I reached a fork in the road. I went left and ended up at a dead end where I quickly turned around and got back out. Eventually I reached some sort of military base. I met someone there who seemed strong and confident. I was told to go find a room to sleep in and relax about the war. I eventually slept on the couch.

      I have another dream memory which I think is part of another dream but shortly after a lecture I was unable to find my car and I spent most of the dream looking for it. I phoned my friend who was parked next to it but left early. He didn't answer which I assumes was because he was driving. I spent a long time looking for the car and didn't find it in the end when I woke up.

    5. Mail Game and Shadow Star

      by , 04-21-2015 at 06:04 PM
      Mail Game
      My family and I were a city, not a big one, more like a medium sized one and were passing by this large maze shaped thing. The entrance to it was like an entrance to a rollercoaster while the exit was a game on a board with poppers. The whole thing was a dark rusty color and had dead roaches and other insects on it wit dust/dirt coating the whole thing. It was so familiar I didn't understand why though or how. Until my mom asked if I remembered it, she said that it was the old game I used to play at my Aunt's house.

      And as if that was the magic word, my aunt walked out from behind the thing and greeted us. Not sure why I thought she was my aunt, she didn't like any of m aunts (at least not like any of the ones I've met or seen pictures of). She was in either her late twenties or early thirties, her hair was dark brown and reached down to her shoulders all wavy. She even seemed nicer than most I've met too.

      She also talked about how I would play this game, and even asked if I wanted to play. Curious as to what made the game so fun or what it was about I nodded. My aunt pointed to the entrance and told me that's where I start. I ran over and entered through the wooden archway.

      Inside it was like a huge little neighborhood and the game was you were a mail truck, delivering mail throughout the town but you had to do so on time. There was many obstacles. I got to the halfway point and stopped to just look around, it seemed bigger now. I walked over to a shelf that closely resembled a tree. A bright blue bird hopped around on it, I raised my hand and set it in front of the bird. At first the bird did nothing but chirp but soon hopped onto my finger; I smiled. I've never held a bird before and this one was so cute! It was just a ball of fluff with a tiny beak and legs.
      Sadly it flew away at a strange sound, I frowned and ducked under the branches and walked back into the open. I walked the rest of the way to the end where the popper game was at the exit. It sorta grossed me out since in some of the slots on the table were dead roaches, though the others did have poppers, it didn't help.

      When I left the game a tall man in a dark blue suit approached my aunt and offered to buy the game from her. She glared at him and refused, it appeared this man had tried this before and my aunt was not happy to see him. They spoke back and fourth for a bit, I didn't quite catch what all they said, but I remember hearing my aunt say.

      "I put new books in there for the kids...."

      And other stuff on how she replaced old stuff in the game with new. She pointed to the entrance where two kids came out to wave at them. Then when my Aunt looked back at the business man she said one other thing and marched up the hill in anger to her mansion. The last we saw of her was when she slammed the front door shut behind her. I just watched in silence, unsure if I should do something or not.

      The business man looked at the kids in the entrance and at me, then he perked up. "that's it! we can make a 'mail city' game!" and with that he ran to the mansion.



      Shadow Star
      Wires shot out of a large 8 pointed star and either wrapped around or attached to Shadow, yanking him to the machine. Shadow yanked one arm free, breaking the wire and did the same with his other arm. So at first it seemed like he was the one being attacked but since I was powerless I just stood by the car and watched. But then the next thing I knew Shadow was the one controling the starbot. Now the star was black like him with streaks of red on the points. He began the destruction of the village.

      I ran off to warn people, so I went to the most populated place in a nearby running distance...the mall. When I got there I tried to warn people or maybe get help, but nobody was listening to me. Everybody was just talking amongst each other and shopping for overpriced stuff as usual.

      When I spotted my friends I thought for sure they would listen to me, but when I tried to tell them they wouldn't listen either. I walked alongside them trying to tell them for twenty minutes, but all they talked about was the clothes here. I rolled my eyes and told them I get the same clothes over half the price less than the clothes here. Though I must admit I got a little side tracked when we passed a cute strapless black dress that was sparkly on the top and just solid black on the bottom.

      When the dress was out of sight I tried again once to tell them but gave up and ran off. If nobody was gonna listen to me I was gonna have to stop Shadow myself! But then I ran into one of my friend's mom and talked to her at the other end of the mall. Again, just talk about clothes at the mall and the prices.

      I was getting annoyed with this and cut the conversation short by running from her, trying to get outside so I could somehow stop Shadow from destroying the place!

      I was in school. I was walking through the corridor, as qucikly as I could. I wanted to go without anyone noticing me there. I watched as classmates entered the classroom. I went into the toilet instead. I entered the toilet cabin, and saw that it opened into open space. I could see stairs and some students sitting on them, on the other side of the pit.
    7. Sad Dreams

      by , 04-21-2015 at 02:53 PM
      Lageto

      I appeared in my older brothers room and woke up on a bed. I could barely breathe and started calling my mom. But she wasn't coming. My younger brother than came and told me that I was dead already. I got up and walked to where my older brother was. He mentioned that I was killed by my boyfriend because he really wanted another girl all along. That is when the girl appeared and tried stabbing me with a knife. I told my brother how i wanted to get back at her and if he wanted to join in on the action. He said yeah than we ended up taking a portal somewhere else and than landed on a small white golf cart. Someone mentioned that we needed to grab the headphones that were hanging on the cart so i took them but noticed white papers hanging on it too. I grabbed one paper than jumped off with other girls that were now with me.

      I opened up the paper and saw it looked like a manual for something. It said the word lageto and Nageto. I asked a girl what that meant than turned the page to find a waffle on it.I became somewhat lucid and noticed other waffle pieces on the floor. I bit it and it tasted really good. I told the girl next to me who was a anime character how surprisingly good the dream food was. She smiled than i started feeling bad that I had to be saved by girls. But decided I would just kiss her since there was nothing i could do about all these annoying girls showing up. I ended up doing it and bright blue and pink light began to appear. The scene was changed into a second story wooden cabin room where you could see a forest outside.

      I walked into a part of the place with the other anime girls thinking about how i might have kissed the protagonist's best friend. Which probably meant i wasn't good enough to be first place. Than a Mexican guy came up from behind me dressed in something odd. Don't really remember how it looked but i know i felt it was strange. He tapped me and told me to look out the window at the tall trees that grew. He said it represented the ability to trust and that it was something great. I woke up after that. I don't think it represented my ability to trust more like my ability to give up. Like the feeling i get when i notice lot of female harem animes coming out in the season. Disappointment. - _ -"


      New Families

      I was outside on the streets with a crowd of people on each side. I was one of the people that made sure everything went smoothly. But than i turned and noticed a girl hitting a guy. I told him to get off her than when i looked the other way I saw a person throw a long glass light bulb at someone. It cracked on the fence and than I noticed that the place was familiar and I could run home if i wanted to. I waited a bit till the madness stopped than ran as fast as i could with someone else. A man started chasing me from behind so i started to fly up a bit.

      There was a really long pole in my hand so i tried to hit the guy back with it. But it wasn't reaching. The dc that was with me took my hand and positioned the pole in the right position so that it went in the mouth of the man. When it did he stopped and coughed a bit. Than another lady came from behind and started chasing me. Too much violence for me so i flew even faster and higher into the air. I could feel clouds touching me and thought what if I AP than started thinking of the different planes i could be in. Although i don't like AP dreams. Than I appeared in a white tubular thing with many eyes looking at me. I prayed to God telling him I was dreaming because i didn't want to be scared than moved a long.

      I managed to get out of the Eyes place than found some stairs to walk on. There was a bunch of people walking up the steps too. I flew into a room where a big bald, light skin man, who was wearing casual clothes was fixing something for his wife. But the man didn't like me there so he tried beating me with something. I flew up out of his reach than to somewhere else where he followed me. A group of kids started screaming that they were afraid of the man. As the kids were all backing up on me a boy mentioned that he had a nightmare of the man raping him before. I flew around the kids to grab the man's attention. After that some kids tried attacking him. I told them not to attack him since he wasn't a power dream character, he was a crazy hulk smash kind of dc. I left the dream setting to get away from the man than ended up inside a home.

      The mom was on a life support thing that was filled with healthy smashed fruit. She mentioned how the bag helped her breathe and live longer than she was said to live. She than asked her teenage daughter if she closed the oxygen bag right. Her daughter said yeah, and to stop bothering her about it. I flew around uncomfortable but was willing to listen to the conflict even more. But than a dc pulled me in a different direction into a bigger, richer looking house and said i could stay there.
      I flew around happy I was staying there with the new family I was meeting. As I was looking around the mom mentioned that I would be staying in the room next to the guy's room. I decided to go meet the guy who was living in the house but than the setting started changing and somehow i ended up watching a scene of Gintama.

      I than end up in a place with a girl who is supposed to be my older anime sister and a small little girl that is also anime. I get the feeling that the building is a detective place after seeing detective Conan around.The little girl pulls me in a direction and i decide to play along and start jumping all over the place with her. Especially on the walls. It felt good to hang out with the anime characters. But than our silliness got out of hand so we were told to come down because we were in a lot of trouble. Someone even asked where the girl who was apparently my older sister was. I let the detective that looked like Kogoro Mouri from Detective Conan show take me into the room. He took my arm and measured it's length on a paper saying that if it was longer than its suppose to be than there would be something abnormal about me. I left the room when he was finished and saw the girl who was apparently my older sister. She told me to follow her so i did and ended up in what was suppose to be her apartment.

      I than got curious and flew around the area to somewhere else and got a surprised twist feeling. I was now in another apartment and there was a lady standing in the room that looked like Ran Mouri. I instantly got the feeling that she was my real sister and the lady i was with before wasn't. She started talking about how she missed her younger sister and that she would always wait for her. I followed her into the hall which led to another place where there was a small t.v. that was making a static and popping noise. I was curious to see what the t.v. would show but than flew away quickly because i was afraid to be there. Than the lady ended up in my direction and I heard her talking to herself about how sometimes she sees a girl sitting with her legs crossed outside her window.

      I looked around and noticed her house was colorful and filled with items that were probably spirit or mystic related. Which made me feel uncomfortable. Than she walked into another part of the home where there was another window and mentioned how sometimes a boy appears too. I looked below as i was floating and suddenly noticed it felt like i was carrying something. I saw hands that looked like mine hanging in the air below me. I didn't see my body though only noticed the hands and thought about how weird it was. That's when i decided it was time to wake up and did before the lady could mention anything else weird as she was talking to herself.

    8. Another Lucid!

      by , 04-21-2015 at 11:11 AM (Exploring My Mind)
      Had another lucid dream this morning, with this one being the most clear-cut example of a DILD I've had to date. This also marks the first time I've had two lucid dreams in one month, (as far as I remember), so I'm patting myself on the back.
      I had two fragments from other wakings in the middle of the night, and both of these fragments involved work and coworkers. I'm starting to think this is becoming a dream sign.
      This lucid came about when I woke up 20 minutes prior to my alarm for work. I went back to sleep, and...
      I was in my high school science class, and there were plenty of familiar faces around me. However, my friend Garrett wasn't there, so I decided to go look for him outside the class. I exited into the hallway, and went around the corner to a spot I knew he always was at, but upon finding this corner, he was no where to be seen.
      It was at this point that I got suspicious, and decided to do a reality check, with me questioning if I was dreaming. I did the nose pinch a few times, and every time I did, I could breathe, but I didn't notice that was weird until the third time it happened. Once I realized, I was lucid. "This is a dream," I thought to myself. Immediately once I went lucid, my view shifted, and everything suddenly became much more vivid and detailed, but also more shaky. I looked at my hands and studied them, hoping to stabilize the dream. My thoughts briefly wandered to me in my bed, and I almost woke up. But, instead, I re-focused on my hands and just as the dream was fading, I teleported a few feet in front of me and everything was back to its vivid self.
      I was very excited, and wondered what I should do. I decided to go find some of my other friends, who were probably in gym class right about now. I thought about being at gym class, and POOF, I was there, only now, I was floating. I floated around, enjoying the feeling of hovering, and watched my classmate's reactions. Once I exited the gym, I briefly considered what I should do next, but...

      Then I woke up. The lucid itself felt about 5 minutes long, which is the longest I think I've had, or close to it. And teleporting is a new for me as well, which was surprisingly easy for me to do, although if it did make the dream less stable, I certainly didn't notice it.
    9. 2015-04-21 awesome vivid flying, number of WTF moments, old work colleagues, odd toilets

      by , 04-21-2015 at 10:41 AM
      + vivid amazing long flying/gliding dream among steep tall mountainous seascapes: cupping the air with my hands and soaring in slow circles over the landscapes and crowds of people going "ooo! ahh!" at the sight of me, teaching friends to do the same (almost no wind left though!)

      +(f) kids at the beach on an inclined sandy hill, don't play too close or you'll get sand on people

      + kissing my kids at a really young age, promising we'll go to our favorite yogurt place, but how to get there from here, oh yes let's take "680", blind left(U) turn on odd traffic light signal there's a huge line of cars (in the left lane), think the signal maybe was the fusion of two arrow signs

      + See JoLa (KC) at party, he's young and buff looking and dark haired, sudden WTF moment, how did I get here, how long have I been here (missed it)?

      + It's super late at the office, quite dark, see ChDo shake his hand as he leaves, go to my cube, someone's drunk friend is in there which annoys me, I look at my cube wall and see that my colleagues have gone "cube signing" (like yearbook signing but they sign their messages on the walls of the cube) and I missed it, but I see my own signature with my old cell phone number from presumably long ago, see FrFi zip by my cube opening (curly tussled hair), call him back, he comes, shakes hand, super other tall guy DaGe (DC) also comes (didn't call him) but shook his hand, too.

      + walk by a room with open door, see it's the home's exercise room, decide to go in for a look around, open door, see naked guy there posing in front of a mirror, I scream like a little girl and run out from the room ("AAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEK!"), go to bathroom, want to do #2, the toilet is the size of a teacup and 1 meter off the ground, see 2nd larger toilet on the left of the first but it's still too small and to high up off the ground, think about how to aim my butt, notice naked gym guy looking in from across the hall, close the venetian blinds

      + sitting at a banquet in rows of tables (like at a conference, wide rows of tables and everyone's sitting on one side facing the front), the guys in front of us (lot of them) are getting drunk, I want to order a type of alcohol from the waiters but can only think of the name "Rothschild", then I think why not just order a bourbon and coke, the guy in my row says "too sweet," and I find I've pulled out the entire loaf of bread from the bag, putting it on my plate, wonder WTF I did that for, and put the bread back in the bag; the guy in the front row has a tasty looking big roll with red slices of salami/beef lying on top of it

    10. Looking for the Office

      by , 04-21-2015 at 05:27 AM (The Dream Magic Experiment)
      I was in a mall, looking at the stores along the corridor. There were restos, offices, and an art room. I went into the art room, looking for someone. It was supposed to be an office of a friend, but she wasn't there. The color theme seems to be light green. I also thought there's a hidden doorway there.

      I took a jeep going... somewhere. I was following the lead of another person I don't know. He went down, and I went down, but I have no idea where we were. I started walking in a direction that I thought was correct. The place is reminiscent of the area near Dimasalang in Sampaloc.

      I was in a park party with co-workers. I was walking around. I was thinking of talking about important matters.

      I was watching Mario jump around, and there's a spiny fish that always annoyed me. I thought that Yoshi should be able to eat it. I also thought about how easy it is now to finish the game, unlike before.

      ---

      Notes:

      - Slept at around 2 a.m. Woke up to alarm at 8 a.m., but stood up at 8:30 a.m.
      - Listened to Sam Harris audio on meditation upon sleeping.

    11. A Dream Within a Dream

      by , 04-21-2015 at 03:08 AM (Exploring My Mind)
      The dream I remembered this past morning was awfully strange! It was a literal dream within a dream situation. Basically, I had a dream, then woke up from the dream into another non-lucid dream, and then finally waking up in reality. Here's how it went.
      I was in the Bates Motel house with my girlfriend and we were witnessing the final events of one of the latest episodes play out in front of us. We watched it all non-phased, as if we had seen it before, but we were enjoying it nonetheless. (I won't go into the details of what happened just in case some of you watch that show and don't want to be spoiled).
      Suddenly, I woke up from that situation. It seems it was a dream! I was in the parking lot of my girlfriend's workplace, having just dropped her off, but instead of heading to MY workplace, I had parked my car in the parking lot and fallen asleep. I checked my phone's clock...I WAS AN HOUR LATE!! Panic filled me as I quickly started my car and drove off towards my workplace.

      And then, I woke up from THAT, only this time I was in my bed and in real life. I should've done a reality check in case of a false awakening, but I was too groggy and weirded out by the double dream to even remember to. Not a whole bunch recalled in either dream, but the situation of waking from one dream to another was interesting.
    12. Monastery bath and tattooed Cumberbatch

      by , 04-21-2015 at 12:30 AM
      Date: 16 April

      Got insomnia prior to wbtb

      A very long series about an hour? with 3-4 deilds in between.

      Very fragmented recall but lds were vivid and eventful all the way through

      Forgotten nld part, then at some point I realize that I am dreaming and remember the shower task. I boldly get into this building with the task in mind. It turns out to be a special monastery with baths for visitors. I enter a large room, beautiful floor covered with pleasant light brown stone and special sections for bathing. Those look very zen, (standing) human sized "shower" area full of water and surrounded with lighter stones and some stones neatly arranged in the water and a large soap bar among the stones. I get in the special place and start soaping and washing myself while looking around. The dream soon ends.

      A fragment where I am flying straight ahead for a while (relatively long in dream flying terms) just enjoying it. I recall one of the intro class students was saying that the most awesome part about flying is feeling the wind, so I pay more attention to it and it really feels great.

      Involved in a forgotten part of the ld, then I walk around thinking about the similarities of certain drunk states and dreaming. Me and this female DC make a lot of party noise and look at other DCs. Then I remember the jogging task and decide it will be cool if we both made a little race ahead. I get into a position, but suddenly my body feels exhausted as if we already ran a marathon. I grasp for air and notice taking deep breaths, then wonder about breathing in dreaming (it only exists if you think about it).

      Anyways, this is all wrong since we need to jog and not sprint, so we will be ok (less fatigue). We start running at a slow pace, paying attention to the environment. It's the center of an unknown town with a lot of food ads. What's funny is that almost the same ads keep reappearing as we go along. One is of large burger resembling big mac and the other of a less appealing exotic sandwich. I make mental notes as I keep jogging. Then I look at couple of stores, read the names of the businesses and try to remember them. After the last store, I slow down to take note of a Chinese place where they have some merchandise displayed, but it seems to have stayed here for quite a while. Dusty bamboo baskets and similar bamboo and wood items.

      Right in front of it is another store, which looks very inviting, so I decide to enter inside. It's full of different statues made of metal, gems, all in Asian style. I have a look at as many of these as possible, even receiving false memories from some statues. End of memory

      In a room with bf and a DC that closely resembles Benedict Cumberbatch. This was a long experience and conversation but I don't remember much. Cumberbatch is extremely life like DC, seems to have his own ideas and I understand everything he says (no gibberish). I ask if bf will remember this dream, he answers that possibly no, because the dreaming body can actually roam around and gather experiences without our knowledge.

      I feel very uplifted in his presence and even think I have found a persistent character - two weeks ago a similar DC appeared in the dream with the Mexican miners.

      But what strikes me the most is the realness of the experience. He has his sleeves rolled? so I can see he has a number of tattoos (I even try to recognize/memorise them initially), but what's most interesting are the tactile sensations. As I run my hand over his I feel the texture of his skin, perfect in terms of texture sensation and I notice that his tattoos are actually fake. Around each tattoo is a little rectangle that reveals they like those tattoo stickers for kids. The difference between the tattoo and the normal skin can be distinctly felt, which I find an amazing piece of dream detail.

      At some point the dream fades but I manage to deild back.

      I find myself in a store where this constantly shape shifting DC gives me a ring but tells me he is married already. Then he gives me another set of wedding rings with hearts and also shifts to a classmate. I wonder whether there is any truth in his statements and also how entertaining being part of this dream scenario is. Memory gap.

      Fragments: Back with Cumberbatch at another dream scene for a short while. The place then transitions to an outdoors part, where I watch a number of DCs flying up in the air. Later, I decide to jog around a bit more but don't get very far this time.
