The first dream had something to do with me and my mom living with these monks in china. Being with them was nice and they lived in this monastery in the woods. They all wore orange robes and they didn't speak much English. They only knew a few basic words.

The dream was very long, but many of the details escape me. I only recall the ending where we decided we should go home, but one day come back to the monastery. I was walking around. I remember looking at the woodland around the monastery and thinking how beautiful it all was. I was thinking about how it would be nice to see something like that in a lucid dream.

I remember one of the monks said he would be happy to drive us to the train station and say goodbye. He drove us in this old white van, and he was a really reckless driver.

-WBTB-

The second dream was absurdly long. It had something to do with me being asked to design a cafeteria building for a college campus then build it. Building it was something akin to Minecraft. I spent what felt like hours putting the structure together.

There was this big party to celebrate the opening of the new building. Edward and Alphonse were there, and ed was eating tons of food and got fat. Then king Bradley showed up and started attacking.

I somehow found myself in the basement of the building I had designed. I had become one of the military characters from FMA and I was trying to escape, but my leg was pinned under a wooden beam. I remember struggling for several minutes trying to get free before someone helped me by lifting the beam up.

I had to disguise myself during the attack by changing into a female and running out of the crowd. From there I was able to get into my car and drive away. I eventually got lost and found myself driving to the top of this hill with a radio station on top. The bad guys had followed me there and captured me.

The entire dream then repeated all the way up to the part where I had to escape. This time I didn't change into a female, I just ran for my car. I drove the same route again but things were different. The hill was covered in rich vegetation and there was no radio station, just a concrete platform.

I became lucid here and decided that if I wanted to get back to my home, I should just teleport home.

"Tesser-home"

I woke up in my bed. I didn't actually expect my teleportation to work- wait a second... Rats.

New Family

I was inside a car and was being driven by a old woman or a older woman to a spot on the road where her children (I don't think they were blood relatives) stayed in hiding. I was now apart of their new family and was told to keep watch of the youngest girl. I thought about how I wouldn't mind taking care of such a cute happy little girl. She actually made me feel at home. But than we were told that we had to leave. We got in a line and were told to take our bicycles with us. I didn't know which to take since I didn't have one but than chose any and began walking. That is when an older somewhat transparent man walked passed me with his bicycle shaking in fear. " Your going to show them your bike? I wouldn't want anyone seeing my bike and taking it away from me." He said in fear and in shock. I acknowledged he was right, also because i was afraid he would go nuts, than told him I would not show them my bike.

We kept walking in the line till we arrived in a building with stair like mazes. I started to notice that some of those with me looked like co workers. One of them mentioned how we needed to find our way to the bottom in order to win the game. I wanted to win so i walked faster down the mini, forming stairs. Got a bit confused/stuck at a point but managed to get down to a big room filled with fluffy items. I think pillows and blankets. Our next task was shouted by the same co worker and it was to find a fluffy cube hidden in a room. I wanted to go inside a room but felt like there would probably be a bad surprise so i decided to not play and watch what the girl known to be a witch of the room would do. I think she went on a bathroom break and that's when a big version of the VA for Finn from Adventure time appeared on a wall in a room.

He started mentioning how he likes unique voices and how a girl in the building was in the unique category. I pretty much figured he was stuck to the wall and observed small cartoon like dogs walking around the room. I felt like they were henchmen working for someone. After that somehow I arrived inside a basement where a man had all his inventions hidden from the world. I got the feeling he was my science teacher though. I walked up to one of his project that had small candy canes and he said" Sorry, the project you gave me sort of failed..." I tried fixing the candy canes and told him " Its okay. Not everyone is meant to be a scientist. Am I right?" He said "yeah" and than i let go of the candy canes.I looked at him than around the place and started getting the feeling that the man had a crush on me.

"I have to go now. Its getting late." I told him but he told me to wait. That's when I picked up this metal pole staff which I thought to be his and twirled it around with both my hands. He still approached me though than his look changed to my father."Ew! Dad!?" I said in shock than ran also grabbing a phone to call his boss who was also mine in the dream. He tried to stop me but i managed to run out. The only thing is that the dream shifted and I ended up inside a car with him and my mom. My mom took the phone from me and made fun of me for calling the boss who was supposedly named Ashley. I shouted for her not to make fun of me and told her what had happened was unacceptable. Than after being inside the car for a bit, I woke up.

Nate

So in this dream I was non lucid in a school i think or somewhere and ended up realizing it was a dream when something i don't remember happened. I think it was a shadow that made me lucid.Anyways my goal was to look for a dream character named Nate. Nate is the name I got from a mini dream episode when i was thinking of the character i wanted to be my DG in the dream. So anyways, I realized that I could call Nate into the dream by shouting his name and hoped he would come around the corner. Someone appeared, he didn't give me the feeling of Nate all that much, but I decided to just go on an adventure with him. "Where do I want to go?..." I thought. Than it hit me. " Lets go to the beach!" I said.

I started thinking of a small portal opening on a wall and went through it. I was being sucked into a shiny water portal that was narrow and apparently long. I was in there for a while than started thinking what if a shark appears. I decided that before that could happen I would float up than land onto sand. I floated up and could see the sand but i was blocked from reaching the ground. I managed to get through it though by pushing a little and thinking about getting through. To my surprise the beach had a little bit of the mountain area to it. There were people around a campfire singing and than I interrupted them by shouting hey. They looked at me confused than i think that's when i was told to leave because they were going to do a contest or something like that.

I annoyed the man a little by saying random stuff. I also forgot to mention the part when i used wind and made a small tornado appear on the island.(Just remembered it now) Than I left to find Nate. I went through another portal through a wall than the dream shifted and I was in my room. I called for Nate again and he appeared. He had medium length wavy black hair,was light skin and had a doctor's coat on.He had brought a pump device into the room and mentioned how he was going to pup me with it on my back. " Wait No!" I told him but he just did it anyways. I let him and than I reappeared on the bed. I Nate was gone so I called him again and he came back with a big needle. "Fine, you can give me a shot but you can give it to me on the bottom of my feet" I said showing him my feet. There was a purple mark on my feet so i thought it would be best if he did it there.

After that he took my hand and started dancing with me."What are you doing?" I asked him. But than I just went with it since I like doing the ballroom dance in dreams. After that he kissed me and I kissed him back thinking "What the heck am i doing kissing Nate?" After that Images started to appear than the scene changed and I was in an abandoned cemented area near an abandoned house. Two little kids ran past me into a part of the house. I got inside and had the feeling this had to deal with my fear of demons. "Nate is not a demon." I said out loud. The little girl laughed and than i followed them to the front of the house. It was a yellow house and was slowly breaking apart. " There are no demons in this dream". I said as i saw hands starting to come out of the house and voices too.

The more i said it though the more things began to fade. The dreams scene changed and i thought I was going to wake up but could still feel myself in the dream. I was now looking at a mall rack filled with hanging necklaces with symbols. They were shiny and green and one sort of looked like Jadegreen's lucid symbol. They were slowly changing though and than small shiny blue glittery boxes appeared on the rack after the necklaces disappeared. I had a FA after looking at them for a while but realized it was a dream. I was staring at a face on the wall as I was trying to open my eyes fully. I was thinking about bringing Nate back but than decided to wake myself up because I was okay with what I had lucid dreamed already and didn't feel like exploring my mind anymore.

I'm going scuba diving with some people from a recent Hawaii retreat and we descend into a library that has been flooded with water. I know that one knowledgeable diver is in the group (Don). As I go down there is a hammerhead shark that comes up to me and puts his mouth on my crossed arms and presses down as if to bite. I stay still and this goes on for a little bit until he leaves. I felt for sure he would bite my entire midsection out! I come to the surface to regroup with my scuba buddies. I ask if anyone knows scuba hand signals and Karen makes some hand motions that are not really signals at all.
------
Then I am in a large building with which fluorescent lights. I think I'm trying to get a threesome going with a blonde girl and my husband, but something keeps interrupting us. I'm semi-lucid, but not quite in this dream. As interruptions pop up I think "If this were a dream this is what I'd do" and then do them. For example a man keeps walking over to talk to me as I'm trying to disrobe this woman and I tell him "There is a woman crying in the hallway over there" and give him eyes that say "she needs your help." He wanders back over saying he can't find her and I specify "She's there, go back and then make a left." I have the woman to myself now and start to touch her only to realize my physical body in bed is moving around. I realize I'm dreaming and go back to sleep, but don't return to this fantasy.
-----
I'm on a subway or tram that is very reminiscent of the Atlanta airport tram except there are bench seats to sit on. I'm looking out the window for my next stop. I say something like “I'm getting off at my next stop” in the car full of people. What I think is the next stop turns out not to be a stop at all. I say something like “I thought there was a stop here, did they pass it?” to which the dream man next to me says “maybe you're dreaming.” I look down at my silicone bracelet and instead of the square box pattern there is the picture of a ladybug instead. Excitedly I say “I AM dreaming!” as I shake the man's right shoulder. Then I remember there were digital messages across the tram's message board that were weird and I hadn't been paying attention to like “It's all cool. It's good.” I remember in my dreams I want to ask people who they are and what they represent, but as I look around the subway car I get the impression they are not important. In hindsight I should have tried anyway. Throughout the rest of the dream I remind myself in my head “I'm DREAMING!”
I think the man asks me what I'm going to do now that I'm dreaming. I say I want to get off at a stop I was meaning to. It's actually a place I had just had a non-lucid dream just a little bit earlier than this one. Something-ville. I can't remember the name. It's a swampy/watery town and there is a tiny boardwalk across swamp in which to get to a wooden planked city hall. I get off with another girl from the subway. We go into a house together that she is moving into. She ends up being Shoshanna from HBO Girls and Hannah and Adam are in there as well. We are in a dimly lit parlor/dining room and I am eating a huge plate of something delicious like vegan french toast. I don't know if that's what this is, but I'm shoveling it into my face. Shoshanna is talking about how she's gotten furniture from people for her apartment and that she is going to invite a lot of high school friends over and cook brunch for them. For some reason Adam gets upset and wanders into the living room in which there is a beautiful nude woman who he starts to make out with. This distresses Shoshanna and she goes into the kitchen. When he comes back over he says he just needed to do that to work out his emotions and Hannah says she does things to get back to the center of attention when she feels upset.

Cold, cloudy afternoon. I was walking on the sidewalk, getting close to a school and some kind of a stadium. When I was getting close to the stadium someone called my name and asked "What are you looking for here?" I quickly responded "Troubles."

Although it is too unclear in memory to thoroughly journal it, last night I had a lucid dream that completed not 1, not 2, but THREE tasks that I had previously set. In the dream, I was outside (TOTNLD Go Outside), picked up and uprooted a very large tree (TOTM Develop a Supernatural Power), AND when picking it up and dropping it, sunk a couple feet into the ground due to the weight and threw tons of dirt into the air, respectively. (TOTW, Dig a Hole). On top of that, I almost completed half of my TOTY by almost being able to swing the tree over my back and onto a house (TOTY part 1 Commit a Crime with a Supernatural Power). Also, I would like to share my strategy for developing super strength in dreams, at least for the use of lifting a heavy object. I first grab the object (as for the tree, I had to hug it to grab a large enough part), close my eyes, try to lift, and then as soon as I feel a lifting sensation I open my eyes and due to momentum, I am now able to lift the object.

Task 1: Pick up a tree again, Develop better clarity.
Task 2: Punch someone out with no effort.
Task 3: Destroy a large statue with my bare hands.

5.16.15

Finally had a night off last night, after 11 days working straight and 65 hour work week. I slept for 12 hrs from 3pm yesterday till 3 am today, then 2 hr WBTB to WILD and slept 2 more hours.

Had a dream of me WILDing. Can't decide if low level LD or a non-ld. Especially since my LDs and transitions had changed so drastically lately.

Som I'm WILDing, when I realize I don't have to wait for any sign, just stand up and walk away. I'm happy that I remembered and I do just that. I get outside of my window, which is on the second floor and start climbing up on the roof, which I always loved doing in my dreams. Now that I think of it, it proly was a LD, because I just remembered I was worried that it will be over before I reach the roof. I got up and saw that everything is covered in fog and the city in the distance was barely visible. I rejoiced and remembered how much I loved doing that - watching the world from the roof. (I never done it in WL, btw) So I sit down and watch the world. When it fades, I get out of bed again and climb up the roof again.

I find my old collection of metal pins that for some reason my dad hid on the roof. Someone tells me he was selling them off to support his habit while I was overseas.

I'm lying in my bed and just woke up. (Didnt RC because I'm dumb) My mother walks in and gives me a book. She says she just bought this for me. I open it and start reading. Everything in the book is mirrored. Apparently the book was made to help people learn to read mirrored text. I'm pretty confused at this point and then suddenly one of my colleagues walks out of my closet saying 'what a night right?' and I wake up again.

Pretty bummed that I forgot to do a RC. And still don't understand why my colleague slept in my closet... must have been one hell of party or something.

Argue with father

I was in the kitchen. There was my father and mother inside. I was holding a shovel, and my father was holding a much bigger shovel. We were arguing, it almost got to a fight. I went outside and met some classmates. They gave me a note about someones birthday and I signed it.

In the shopping mall

With family we drove to a big city. After finding a suitable place to park in, we went inside a shopping mall. I searched through the stuff available, but I found nothing. Short while later classmates appeared, and I felt a angry at them. I went out of the shopping mall, and saw a weird guy going in the middle of the street, jumping between cars.

#438 - DILD - 2:17AM

Total day residue...

I am in some sort of sport medicine clinic like an expo or something. Some really old woman is trying to check out my legs. I have some sort of bandage wrap and there is pressure put on my some machine. The woman keeps hacking and coughing and seems to feel really ill. Another, younger woman comes to take over. I am put in different positions on a table. I feel super sleepy. Several nurses flirt with me and I feel awesome about that. One nurse says that my spine is fractured and I need a prescription for it. She tells me that her husband takes a lot of vitamin A and that helps his back. I overhear another nurse going on about how cute I am. I feel embarrassed, but flattered. I leave.

I am somehow mildly lucid now. I have left the expo, but I'm still in the same building. A Star Wars scenario is playing out and I get swept up in the storyline. I am running with Han Solo and the Imperial forces are attacking. The building rumbles and quakes from that attack. The walls crack and parts of ceiling falls. I am at a stair well and I can't decide if I want to go up or down. I tell Han Solo that up is for high command. Down would take us out. Han runs up and I stay not sure what to do. I see a door that says Summit Meeting. I decide to run down.

In a new hallway, a lady that I know from waking life is standing there telling everyone to get out. She's pointing down the hall. She doesn't seem too worried with that huge grin on her face. I run down the hallway and enter a large section of the building. It seems like a movie studio. There is stripes on walls and large numbers by doors. I see a large 8. A fat man in a rebel uniform runs past with a droid and a civilian.



He says how this solar system sucks [Earth's solar system]. I say, "Yeah it sucks, but not Earth. I love Earth. It's my home." I see a cheap revolver on the floor and pick it up.

I continue running down another hallway. I have someone running with me that I don't really look at much. We make it outside into the night and my lucidity level jumps considerably. I see a Stormtrooper in the ground flipping around and spazzing out like some horrible video game glitch. I hear someone say to shoot him as a mercy. I fire a shot to his head and run away. I consider how my gun seems to be silenced. There are other Stormtroopers shooting at us. The guy with me picks up a Star Trek phaser off the ground and starts shooting stormtroopers.



I see red laser bolts taking down Stormtroopers. I say, "Pretty." I shoot at some more stormtroopers. My gun just click like dry fire, but I see them fall so I don't care. Since this is a dream, it's like I'm just pretending away. However, I can't get over the fact my gun feels like a plastic toy.



Rebels and Stormtroopers are dying all around me as I run. I am in a residential area with house and a gas station. Everything is less Star Wars like now. There is sort of military style off-road vehicle in a driveway.



I hop in and punch it in reverse. I notice the ceiling is way too low but I try to ignore it. My friend is not with me anymore and for some reason I feel the need to find him so we can both escape. I drive around a bit, but the ceiling is bothering me too much. I realize I can easily fix that, so I push up on it until it stretches out to a comfortable height. I spot my buddy on a storage container with Doc from Back To The Future. I tell them to get in but my friend is now a picture in a frame. I stretch my arm out super long, grab the picture, and put it in the seat next to me. Doc says something about how I have to leave him. I back out, push a button, and pretend I'm in a helicopter. The vehicle hovers some, but I can't get much height. I start looking in the distance, but there is only dark void beyond the few houses around me. I sit idle unsure what to do next. I think it would be cool if Doc got killed somehow. As soon as I think that, I hear a missile swoosh past me and Doc goes up in a fireball. Nice! I wonder if I should try flying into the void or if I should just wake up so I can write all this down. I sit idle for a few moments longer and decide to just open my eyes.

Non Lucid
Earlier in the night I dreamed I was lying in bed next to my wife outside in the woods. I see some sort of have chicken half dinosaur eating deer. I hear a generic slurping sound from the dino. I get out my phone and take video. As I watch I worry that the dino will see us. I stay as still as possible, but it notices and leaps toward us. I shout at my wife to run, but she wont wake up. I feel panicked. I look up and see the dinosaurs giant gray chicken foot come down on me. Then nothing but gray void.

I am now... under the bed? Underground? My wife now looks different. She's ready to go kill the dino. She puts up her hair super fast and I hear some cheesy winding sound. I laugh. Her hair detached and she puts it on over her other hair like a large hat. She kisses me and her nose feels extra long. I hold her and we make out a bit. She says shes ready to go, but I stop her and say we have to do something first. I pull her yoga pants down and have sex with her. Things get intense and I wake up.

I feel like there was much more important stuff happening in the first LD.

I was in my old high school though. Everything was a different color though. I think everything was red even though our school color was blue. I reality checked though I didn't become lucid. I then said something like.

"Well why should I let one failed reality check decide that I am not lucid?!"

There was no glass in the windows of the school, so I just climbed out one and started flying. I was trying to decide on a good goal, and I decided that I should fly to the moon a second time. I looked at the moon in the daytime sky and set my intention.

I started accelerating toward it until the moon began distorting and looking more like a portal. I decided to pass through it and see where it took me. It let me out above a location that had the feel of my university campus, though looked unfamiliar.

I think decided to practice landing, since I am usually not that good at landing. I managed to slowly lower myself onto the pavement. I'm not sure if my fire jets were visible, but I know that I was flying.

...

I remember thinking that I wanted to manifest Manei since I haven't had a good Manei dream in a long time...

...

The next thing I remember was seeing this very modern building covered in metal siding and brick. Nobody seemed to be using it... so .

I flew into one of the walls. I was actually expecting something really lame to happen, like I would just faceplant into the wall. But no, I busted right through the solid wall. I remember looking back from inside and seeing the damaged hole I had made. It was actually very clear and realistic.

I then flew up through the ceiling and made another hole, before looping around and coming to a spot on the wall. I punched into the building, sending cracks spreading up the wall. Little chips of concrete and brick fell on me but the building did not collapse.

...

I was non-lucid, and I was seeing these DCs who built log cabins in the woods. It had something to do with college housing and having to pay less for housing. They had cleared out this huge area and there were hundreds of mini cabins. Students liked this because they were technically free to live in. The only problem was you needed these special unfolding ladders if you wanted to access the upper floors. Some of the cabins were built like stacks that went up, I think five floors at the most.

-WBTB-

I was staying at home while my parents were out of town. There was this short middle aged Jewish guy with me who could not walk who I had to take care of. He was sitting on the couch watching TV.

I looked outside on the back of the deck. There were all of these big birds, and there were about a dozen of them. The birds had bright red/orange/yellow feathers and human faces. I told the Jewish guy to come and take a look at this. He couldn't walk, and didn't have a wheelchair. I remember him telling me that he was content to just sort of crawl around on the floor, and that's how he got over to me.

I showed him the birds that had turned into people with the faces that they had as birds. They were all men and only wearing grayish blue swimsuits. They explained that they were a part of some kind of traveling group of people that could turn into birds.

The first guy on the far right was tall, well built and for some reason had really pointy eyebrows. (Don't know why that detail stood out to me.) He started telling me who he was and where he was from. I realized that all of the guys from this group were going to do that eventually. I pulled up two chairs, one for me and one for the Jewish guy and sat and listened intently.

"Hello, I hail from the Guru lands of-"

The dream suddenly shifted. I was in a concrete plaza area in a big futuristic city, and I became semi lucid. The dream was stylized to look like an anime. General Grevious showed up and pulled out all four lightsabers and started coming after me. I pulled out my weapon. My weapon was a scythe that could adapt to any element by sticking the end of the handle into something.

I stuck it into the ground and the handle and blade became made of concrete. I moved in and started fighting, but he cut apart the concrete scythe with his lightsabers. I went in close and touched the little adaptability bit to the blade of one of the lightsabers. The scythe handle transformed and extended out into a really long lightsaber handle, then a green energy blade formed.

We fought for a few minutes. I cut off two of his arms and he tried to run. I chased him and he threw a broken metal pipe at me. I was in third person now and it looked like the pipe had stabbed me in the arm, but when I pulled it out it had just ripped through my shirt. (I had something like Jedi robes on.)

Some battle droids showed up and I started fighting them. I woke up.

I was inside a building where I felt like it was home. My parents were trying to sleep but I kept waking them up by trying to avoid two people who wanted to get rid of me with some kind of item. I think they were trying to take something that I had too. Don't remember if it was an item or money. My mom started complaining than I walked away.I entered a room and was watching a little boy until his sister came back.

But instead came the two bad guys. One really short and a tall guy. The tall guy sort of looked like the guy I last painted. I pretended to ignore them than my mom came and mentioned something about using my card to get money out of the ATM. I told her to wait because the bad guys were still around than walked away from them. The tall guy chased me and the place ended up changing into a bathroom where the tall guy broke a shower head and tried killing me by electrocuting me with a blow dryer. But he tripped and the water landed on him and he was jumping all over the place being electrocuted. I kept dodging him since he tried to touch me.

I think that might be when the dream shifted and I was in the beach water with a few kids,teens and a mom. The mom was white and had black hair but her son who was a teen was tan, average and had a black buzz cut. The mom was telling the boy how she didn't care if he drowned himself than the boy said he was going to do it. He went in the water and his friends tried to stop him but he was to strong and than the boy started floating in the water.I swam in a different direction than his friend came up to me and mentioned how his body was just floating in the water.

The scene than changed after that and I was in a school/office building. I was looking around for my classroom and ended up talking to some students. One of them had a weird drawing of a cat. I left to only fall slightly into a small hole with another kid. A teacher than came up to us and mentioned how the rooms 2 and 8 are not open anymore. That the office has been switched to another room. I got up than said it was ok and left. I ended up walking into a huge room where a girl was complaining to the faculty about not being able to sign up for college. A lady shouted at her saying to apply online.

I than decided to leave the school but felt something stuck in my throat. I opened my mouth, put my hand in and took out a golf ball size lettuce that was stuck inside my throat. I felt appalled and surprised than threw it on the floor. After that a short boy mentioned how they were going home early today and that I would have to go home by myself. I said okay, left the building and got the feeling I was far from home. I decided to take a taxi to home and ended up going int the middle of the street.I started dodging taxis until I jumped on one with a open roof. I told the driver to take me to my house and he said fine. He had a lady by his side and i got the feeling she was his sister.

We stopped quickly though and walked in front of a bank. The guy said he was going to get money out of the bank first for his little daughter. I felt like a burden so I told him I would take the bus instead and which route I should take. He said to take the E or the S, and to keep on the straight path until i got home. I said okay and found the bus stop. There were people waiting and it was getting dark. I rushed to catch up to a bus and ended up in a neighborhood that I felt I was in before. " Didn't I see this place on the news?" I asked myself. There was a bright light coming from a white house and i saw a bowl of food in the front.

There was a chubby, dark skin girl walking past it and i decided to take my necklace off just in case i was about to get robbed. I turned and looked at the bus that was now pitch black and curved in a stop in the middle of the street. I went past it to see it was night and there was bright lights flashing in the distance. "Gun shots?" I thought. Than looked around to see many cars parked. I saw people around laughing and hid behind a car. I felt scared and wanted to hide inside the wall or throw rocks at them. I threw one softly at a lady and imagined picking another one up. But the lady managed to get me with something. I blacked out, heard a small beep than woke up.

Forgot to use love and good thoughts again. - w -" Its a work in progress.

Raz A;'ghul and Werewolves
Sleep: OK
Sleep position: Left side (right brain)

I've somehow become Ras Al'ghul, in charge of the entire League of Assassins. Unfortunately, there are those who would challenge my authority, and there's a lot of people trying to kill me, particularly ninjas. As I'm fighting off my various attackers, I notice these ingenious traps set all over the compound. The traps are made from sticks or stiff vines woven together like a basket to create something like a spring. The wooden sticks are pulled down and tied off so that they spring outwards with a great deal of force, impaling victims with blades and attatched to the end of the wooden spring traps.

These wooden springs are very strong and very sturdy. I can stand on one, trigger it, and use it to launch myself through the air. I'm jumping and flipping and flying all over the place.

-The theme of being chased and hunted stuck with through the night, and as some point it shifted from ninjas to werewolves. I was in class in high school, when I hear something in the hall. I go to look and see a monstrously huge werewolf tearing up the hall. It's so big, so fast, and so powerful, I don't even think about fighting it, I just flee. I don't think I'm going to make it, when the werewolf suddenly turns and runs right through the door to another classroom, blasting if off the hinges like it was nothing.

I hear screams from the classroom, and run back into mine, when I can hear the werewolf coming. I don't even have time to close the door properly before it bursts into the room. Luckily there's other students nearby which momentarily distracts the beast as it tears them apart. I run and spot a metal cabinet, which I crawl inside of. Again, before I can properly close the doors, the werewolf is on me and ravaging the cabinet. It falls over onto it's front, keeping the front closed under it's weight. I breathe a sigh of relief.

Morning of May 16, 2015. Saturday.



My wife and family and I are on some sort of tour where we visit different movie studios as well as at least one television studio. Mostly, modern ghost stories are being filmed. We do go to one set that seems to be a soap opera about doctors having affairs with their patients. Every now and then, a “key” scene is being filmed where an unidentified person runs in front of the camera and later something horrifying supposedly happens (though no horror is ever actually seen).

At one point, the “person running past the camera” becomes annoying and the set mood fairly boring (even though most of the sets are somewhat dark and mysterious). At the soap opera set (which is well-lit), as a male doctor is professing to a female patient about how much he loves her, a shadow darts past the camera and the director screams “Cut!” and throws the script to the floor and tells whoever it is that they are at the wrong studio set. The shadow seems to cower and is seen (on a featureless wall) walking on tiptoes for a time.

Many more scenes are filmed in various so-called horror films where a shadowy figure runs in front of the camera (just as in reality where almost every movie I have seen over the past several years has at least one scene where someone runs in front of the camera, which has become more and more hilarious over the past year, causing my wife and I to laugh out loud every time it happens).

Eventually, I absentmindedly shout “Hey, who are you?” (though there is no discernible lucidity behind my potentially bold imposing query) and Charlie Chaplin steps out from behind a wall. Very oddly (in the highest awareness and “energized” rendering), I get an impression, as he approaches, of a quivering chihuahua (as if the dog was afraid of being punished for making a mess on a rug). He also appears to be dropping crumpled-up bits of paper as if trying to find what note is relevant to his present role of running past a particular camera. He never speaks.

Someone says something about the “scariest movie ever” and I start swearing, asking how a movie could be scary as it is just a moving image on a screen a fair distance from the viewer. Charlie starts holding his index finger vertically to his lips, as a librarian does to “shush” the patrons. This seems to be because I am using too many swearwords as well as being too loud.

Charlie puts on a pair of fake bunny ears and runs past the camera once again. There is a loud scream and the sound of something metallic falling, possibly a spotlight. I start slapping my knees and laughing.

5.15.15

My dream recall has hit rock bottom last few weeks, and no lucids either. I have to figure out how to LD when working night shifts.

Had these 2 dreams last 2-3 days.

Spider
I'm looking at a brown spider. Big, brown-grey body, velvet looking. Bare, skinny legs. He is walking on the floor. I remember seeing him at the store I work at. (only now that I'm awake I don't think I saw him at work). I try to capture him in a plastic see-through cup and release him outside. I got him in the cup but he is not cooperating, haha. Running up the walls, over the lip, and I loose sight of him few times. Btw, we are in some old building. When I see him, he is on my hand. He has some faded cross on his back, llike the spider we call Knight of the Cross. I think he is venomous. So he gets on my hand and I have no choice but to sqash him. But just before he manages to bite me. I'm showing the double-fanged, bloody bitemark to someone.

The welder.
This was very interesting. I'm watching a welder from just 3 feet away. He has thick gloves and safety shield on the face, and heat resistant attire.Welding machine in one hand and piece of metal in other. As he puts the metal to the large piece of metal, it starts to melt. I realize, that large bottom metal must be very hot. He draggs his hand in the glove accross the bottom metal sheet slowly, as he is applying small metal piece and heating it up with the flame. I realize that his gloved hand is dragging on something very hot and I find it kinda scary, what if it got burned through. Then I see on the part of the glove that touches the welding piece, there is something like thick velcro. The plastic spikes are not allowing the glove to touch the hot metal, but giving his hand support so he could weld straight. The plastic spikes are not conducting heat as much as a full contact glove would. I realize it's a great invention. Also, this idea is now patented.

I'm standing in a place covered in snow that I think of as "at the edge of all things" - although all I can see is snow to the horizon, I'm thinking of this place as a kind of boundary line. I'm with a woman wearing a black fur hat, and below it some strands of her hair have come loose, the wind keeps blowing them into her face.

I've just said something half-joking to her to the effect of, it's fine, I'm used to traveling. I'm thinking about the way I arrived in this reality in the first place, tracking her.

She, entirely serious, says something to the effect of but if you do this now, you won't ever be able to stop.
