This was in the morning. I had already woken up but thought I could try to fall asleep to some MILD affirmations to have a short lucid dream.

All of a sudden, I found myself in the same bed, but with my dream journal in hand (I had bought a new one the day before) and looking at the front page. There, I could read the fields "name" and "username" yet to be filled. The "username" one made me think of DreamViews, but I knew the actual journal doesn't have this field. I became lucid right away, and did the nose-pinch RC to confirm. Of course, I could breathe through it, but at the same time I was able to feel my real body on my bed. I thought it was best not to move for a little while because I seemed to be half awake. Then, for some reason I started worrying I would oversleep, so finally I decided to open my eyes.

I took 3 mg of melatonin before bed, then had a ~1 hour WBTB after 4 hours of sleep. Dreamer had told me at some point before these dreams that she had just had two lucid dreams, so I was determined to have some of my own!

I don't remember how I became lucid, I remember standing next to dream characters from a story line that I had been participating in and I was trying to remember tasks. I thought of the bonus task, manipulate 4 elements or something. I looked off into the distance at these hills and made them stretch and grow to colossal sized mountains. I then imagined that they were volcanic and I made them explode with fiery boulders that I made fall down all around me and they set this forest on fire. I walked past the forest as it burned. Molten lava was still raining from the sky but I wasn't worried about getting hurt by it.

I walked out of an orangish-yellow haze and into a city. I started flying at this point. I saw a large skyscraper and made wind blow up against it so hard that it fell over. I didn't watch any of the destruction that ensued from that, I just kept flying. I then noticed a large pond beneath me and I raised my hands so that my palms were facing it and all of the water drained from it almost immediately. I made a bit of the water fly around in the air for fun.

I then went to hang out with dream characters in a new storyline, I don't remember what it was about though. In the next part that I can remember, I was noticing the dream was ending and thinking to myself, "Shit, I should have done something more interesting because I'm totally going to forget what I just did", and I did.

The dream ended and I waited for another one to begin. I started to see what looked like my room and I opened my eyes and looked around. I was excited because the dream started next to Dreamer. I smiled at her and she said to me, "Your eyes were open for a while, it was weird." I was convinced that I had actually woken up at that point and I told her about my dream and she gave me a huge smile, that made me happy. I rolled over to fall back asleep.


In the next dream, I had been playing out a loop. It started as me being an actor in some kind of film or play, then I had to go to a high school with a friend. I remember one of the classes was an exercise/weight lifting class. I also remember that there were spider webs when I would end the day and move back to the start of the dream location so that it could begin again. At the end of each cycle there were more spider webs. At the end of what I would guess was the third cycle, there were too many spider webs and I couldn't move past this tiny passage that I needed to go through to get back to the start of the loop. Being trapped/surrounded by spider webs is a dream sign of mine, and that made me realize it was a dream. I lit the spider webs on fire by touching them with my finger, then blew on them to make the flames get huge. I could feel the heat from the fire, it felt extremely realistic. When the spider webs were all gone, I jumped through the opening and ended up in what looked like an ancient temple. There was no roof overhead, just a magnificent sky that was filled with stars. I flew up into the sky and noticed a galaxy off in the distance. It was next to this truly beautiful looking town that was composed of bright, vivid, brilliant colours. I thought that the sight of the galaxy and the town was so gorgeous that I started to cry in the dream. I wished that I could bring the sight with me out of the dream, I wished that I could paint it.

I flew towards the town and the dream started to get really weird, I don't remember what happened though. I woke up soon after that anyways.

I was with some people. Atheists, I think. I remember Haresh was there. It was night. We were going to eat in some restaurant. I also remember thinking about Amway.

(woke up a bit, went back to sleep)

I was in a dorm of sorts with my co-workers (who I rarely see). The dorm "felt" like the 2nd and 4th year building in high school. We were sleeping on the upper floors (4th year floor) and we decided to move to the lower floors (2nd year floor), which was air-conditioned. I was worried(?) that I wasn't included in the move but turned out they included me (wrote my name for moving or something).

(woke up, did math to shut off alarm, went back to sleep, 8:30 a.m.)

I was with some people practicing parkour. It was a school and/or island. I saw a few Caucasian guys in the nude practicing near the sea (on top of some sort of rocky place), and a coastguard patrol got their attention, but the patrol moved away after a short while, saying that they (the people in the nude, I suppose) will be receiving a... "friendly?" letter soon. I assumed they were ashamed to see them nude.

I was in some sort of school waiting for other traceurs to arrive. There were some people I know. Someone mistook me for Jong.

4.27.15

I work night shifts now, and my recall is shot to hell. Not easy to dream or recall if you sleep 2.5 hr naps, once or twice a day. But today I managed a 6.5 hr nap from 1pm - 7:30 pm, and I had dreams. In fact, was dreaming the whole time.

DR
The theme of the nap was... work. Working the whole nap. Wasn't bad, kinda rehersing the plan for tonight. Who is gonna do what and if we manage to do it all timewise.

DR
I'm late for work and when I grab my phone to call that I'm coming in right now, the phone has all red text saying the batteries are very low, and can't retrieve the number I need to call. So I find a charger and plug it in. Suddenly there are people from work there telling me it's ok to be late once in a while, but I need to call to let them know I'm coming. The phone looked like the one I have now.

DR
I'm standing next to OpheliaBlue and we are talking about some cooking gadgets. She was smiling, all happy and content. I toot and I'm like oh crap she is so close, she will know.

DR
Somebody gave me a $100 bill and I was telling Ophelia I'm giving it her for something that she did for me in the recent past.

1. I had just walked out of the Kroger grocery store and it was pouring. I don't mean just normal pouring either, I'm talking the heaviest I've ever seen in a dream before. The sky is extremely dark and gray and there are huge thunderstorm clouds in the sky. I have two bags of groceries, one in my left, and the other in my right. I walk across the street and walk to my car. As I get in my car, I put the groceries in the passenger seat and turn my car on. Suddenly everything goes almost pitch black. Literally, I have never experience this kind of darkness in a dream before.
"Holy shit, what is going on?" I think to myself. I turn on my headlights and they provide a minuscule amount of light. I turn my windshield wipers on full speed and the rain is still pouring down way too heavy so I can barely see. It then occurs to me that this doesn't make much sense. "Where is the moon?" I think to myself in shock. I look out my driver side window and up into the sky and all I see is pure darkness. "Holy shit" I say out loud just to reiterate the fact that this is the heaviest storm I have ever experienced. I pull out of my parking spot and turn left and start driving down the road. I then remember that I have to pick up my sister who is waiting next to Compass bank only about 25 yards or so away.
I make another left and start heading towards compass bank. Right before I can turn into the parking lot, there are two police officers standing, blocking the entrance. After I stop the get out of the way and let me through. I then go into the parking lot and park next to my sister. She is talking to two other young dudes her age and they are just chilling. I get out of the car and walk over to them. I didn't notice it at the moment but as I got out of the car, there was no rain falling on me, but yet I could still clearly hear the sound of heavy rain and a thunderstorm, and it sounded extremely real. I get out my phone and turn on the flashlight app so I can see considering it is still almost pitch black. My flashlight helps out a great deal and now I can clearly see my sister and the two other kids her age.
I tell her to get in the car so we can leave and she does.

Note: Other than this dream, I had 3 other dreams in which it was raining really hard. I now know that this is because during all of these dreams, there was an actual heavy thunderstorm passing over my house and through my town as I slept. I awoke after these rain dreams and the thunderstorm was still falling extremely heavy.

2. I "wake up" in my bed and sit up. I "wake up" because I am extremely hot. The first thing that I notice is that my lights are already on, yet I didn't get up to turn them on. It was as if they had been on all night. On top of that, the door to my room is wide open and this creeps me out even more. There is a very strong creepy vibe that I am getting. I look at my fan and see that it is off. I also notice that my fan looks way wider/bigger than it actually is in waking life. I have been semi-lucid through this entire situation since I noticed that my lights were on.
I reach over my bed and see that all of my water bottles are still there. Some are lying on their side because they are empty, and the ones that still have water in them are standing. I notice that I have at least 9 water bottles all together, which is alot more than usual. I pick up a water bottle and twist off the cap and drink some water out of it. After that I put the cap back on and place it back on the ground. As I do so, I notice that one of the water bottles that is standing up is missing its cap. I pick it up and look around for the cap, but it is nowhere to be found. I end up placing the water bottle back on the ground carefully and leaving it there hoping that it will not spill.
After that I realize that my piano is back in the corner of my room, but I had moved it a long time ago. At this point I am extremely semi-lucid. I get up out of my bed and go over to my fan. I switch its modes through all 3 modes that it has, to try to fix it. On every speed that I put it to, the same thing happens: It works for a second and then goes practically dead. Suddenly the creepy vibe comes back again and I get back into my bed and pull the sheets up to my neck( lol wow). I then fall asleep.

Note: After I woke up from this dream I realized that all the power had gone off because of the thunderstorm and in turn my fan was off and so I was extremely hot. Once again, my own environment/setting made its way into my dreams. I have also noticed that I am now becoming more and more aware in my dreams. My Self Awareness is starting to come into my dreams now.
