guy is doing sales into medical packaging technology, I'm looking him up on the computer to see if he's interested. my boss is kind of poopooing him. He doesn't have a ton of available information or success into what we are trying to do.

false awakening. in my bed at home, sleeping with the baby, she climbs out of bed, grabs my phone and calls my wife crying. April comes home and says that carmelite told her that i let her watch mad max fury road. i'm amazed that she could dial the phone, surprised that I let her watch fury road, wondering if fury road was out on video yet.

false awakening made me very happy. It came froma failed wild attempt and i know that i'm so close. I was totally questioning my reality and all sorts of aspects of it but not quite putting it together. so close.!!!

I was a student in what appeared to be a class on business. I was selected as an internship candidate for being a successful entrepreneur (for a curry restaurant(?)). The dream itself was in fragments. One minute I'm in the classroom, dark as usual, and surrounded by DCs. I was called on to read a passage from the course textbook. Only the first few words seemed to be legible; the rest made no sense. Columns of writing were completely blurred. The teacher became angry at me. One of the most peculiar images I can recall was that I was clad in a 3 piece suit.

Next, I'm in an open area which seems to be a pit stop. On the highway, the teacher is chasing some student. Details of the dream get really disjointed at this point.

The last fragment: I'm in a "classroom" which is doubles as a bowling alley. In one scenario I view a DC rolling a ball and somehow hitting the pins adjacent to her. Another dream character does the same thing but his ball goes to the gutter right before hitting the leftmost pin.

They have SOLD THEIR SOULS to Corporate America!

I was in a three-week intensive final training for my Elementary-Ed master's degree. We were completing an internship at a summer camp, and in the last week of the program we were to do a collaborative piece with McDonald's. Because of this collaboration, we had a half day at the camp and the kids all roamed free for this half-day.

One of my classmates was pissed about this, though. She boycotted the McDonald's collaboration and got a whole bunch of big bags of chips and lines them up to read "*insert my university* has SOLD THEIR SOULS to Corporate America!" I was a little confused but admired her activism and stood with her.

That night, we all stayed in a hotel and it was so confusing and extremely haunted.



Minecraft Woes

I was in the Evil version of Yubaba's Bathhouse, and I had a sword and armor. My hunger bar was at zero, and I only had the half-heart left, which can't be taken away because of hunger. Apparently, in this reality, in that state monsters wouldn't be aggressive toward you. Which was good, because I was in the basement and surrounded by skeletons, creepers, spiders and zombies. I made it all the way to the door of the building but there was a creeper blocking the way and for some reason this one monster wasn't ignoring me. It blew me up and I awoke




Wow, SubC. Smooth.

I was in Colorado for some reason and was going to go to a Japanese summer festival with Adam (a guy I've lately been seeing casually)... The festival was held at the old dude-ranch I went to as a kid there, and I was going to be meeting him there. I parked in a parking lot wayyyyy up high in the sky with a rope ladder type obstacle to get up and down. Getting down it was fine! I got to the festival location and realized I'd forgotten something in my car, though. I started climbing and was so proud of myself for not getting tired or out of breath! but as I got within like 20-ish feet of the parking lot where I left my car, the rope ladder thing got a lot narrower and harder to navigate. I had to like squeeze myself through a solid part and pull myself up. There was a family of 4 at the top who were cheering me on as I finally made it up.

I looked back at the thing I'd just climbed and suddenly decided I needed to move my car because I was NOT doing that again. It was then that I spotted a brown creature hopping/flying below us. I wasn't sure exactly what it was but then I suddenly realized; it was a unicorn! Except this unicorn wasn't at all what you think of when you think Unicorn. It was a shaggy, brown miniature horse with a horn that looked like it could have just been a pointy tuft of hair sticking out of its forehead. It was the derpiest little thing ever and was making squeaking/grunting noises as it plodded along giving zero fucks about how shabby it looked.

I pointed it out to the family, and they were all fascinated and I was like "You go little Unicorn!"

I got in my car and started to back out of the parking spot. I spotted Adam nearby and pulled up next to him, telling him to get in so I could find a new place to park. He got into my car freezing cold and with a raging boner... so I offered him my sleeping bag to warm up.

(WTF SubC... I thought I was way dirtier than that!)

We drove for a little bit and I saw the derpy unicorn again. And then I realized it had gone the complete other direction so how could it be here... and did a quick RC. I became lucid and stopped the car. I was in the mountains of Colorado again and looked around for more detail and ideas. I looked to the ground for something I might be able to eat for my first 3-steo task for the competition... I saw a mushroom, and figured, why not? I stuck it in my mouth and it tasted like a whole mountain. If that makes sense. I liked it somehow!

I looked around again and spotted Adam still sitting in my car. I was disappointed to see his boner was gone (lol) but remembered I wanted to ask DCs what they do to RC. So I asked him: "What do you do to reality check?"

He looked at me for a while and then smiled. "I always close my eyes. If I'm dreaming I see things when my eyes are closed." Interesting :O

I decided to try for the black hole task of the month while getting my second 3-step task checked off; I jumped off, imagining myself shooting off at the speed of a rocket. It was dusk (a lot of my dreams have been dusk-time lately. It's really pretty but on the edge of bad news, as getting dark is usually a bad thing in my dreams) and I looked down to see the ground quickly moving away from me. Soon I was in space, and searched for a black hole to jump into, but I couldn't find one before I woke up

What a Fucking Gorgeous Sight

I spent almost an entire full-length dream souring and shooting through stars and galaxies and asteroids. It was so effing gorgeous. Nothing much happened but it was such a nice dream!



Down South

I was shopping for food with my family; we were visiting the south for some reason (we have no reason to be in the south really; no family there or anything lol)

I remember trying to find what I wanted but not being able to because the isles were all labeled horridly. I was in a very bad mood and was snapping at my family and I may have started crying in the middle of the soup isle because they didn't have the cheesy potato, bean, beef, pickle (yes pickle) and tomato soup I just really, really wanted.



Slightly Illegal

I was doing something slightly illegal and waiting for planes to land/dock in this mid-air station about 200 ft off the ground. I was with a group of people and we had to chase the planes down and then board them while no one was looking, fiddle with some wires, and then leave unnoticed. I think we were doing something to the navigations, like setting in a new route for pre-programmed flights to get supplies to some group in need.



Lost in My Own Neighborhood

I was walking around my own neighborhood, trying to find my home. I was with two guys, though I don't remember who exactly they were. I was getting frustrated because I couldn't find my home and I was getting horny; I couldn't just jump my two male companions in the middle of the street so I had to wait until we got to my house. We finally found my house, and I took them to the basement. A dog greeted us at the front door, and I woke up before anything fun happened : /

Woke up four times today. Tried a WBTB + WILD but I couldn't fall asleep, so I gave up on it. Dream recall sucked during the later parts of the morning.

#1:
I was going to have a training session with my friend, DTA. We considered training outside, but the grass wasn’t very good, so we decided to train at the upper level of the building we were in.
I got sidetracked for a bit doing something and I ended up wandering around the area. I remember seeing a bunch of people on an escalator / staircase, me moving in the opposite direction. There was also something to do with adding a Facebook friend.

Later, I recall searching for my Onecard, which I’d somehow lost. I remember finding an old iPhone (looks like the one I have, except with dust over it). I powered it up to see if it still worked, and found that it was un-updated. I also remember seeing some people I knew back in elementary school. One of them was sitting at a computer or something. He said something to me.

At the end of the dream, I was reading an ad about a guy looking to pay for sex. Apparently, he was willing to pay ~$11,000 for a “deluxe package” or whatever.

#2:
I was with my family (minus my mom) and my uncle’s family. My uncle was talking about how his toilet exploded, but he didn’t seem annoyed / angry or anything.

I was walking down a hallway at a university dorm (didn’t really feel like the uni I go to). One of my old co-workers was with me. He looked much worse off than when I last saw him. He asked me if he could stay at my room for a bit. I get the feeling that I let him do this before, and I agree since I never use it anyways. When we reach the room, I notice a bunch of bags on a table. The area behind is darkened due to the lack of light. Apparently, the room was now being used by 3-4 girls (not sure how I knew this, but I did).

My younger sister was playing an RPG game on the 3DS. I found this odd, since she doesn’t like these types of games.

I recall taking a shower in an unfamiliar room with white tiles.
The room was pretty big. It was kind of dark since there weren’t any lights on. The water would flow down a ramp to the right side of the room into a pump or something that would re-direct the water to another part of the house. I remember that my dad installed this recently and think it is impressive (dream memory).

#3:
- I was with my mom and my two younger siblings. We were walking further away from something in order to “get a better view”. We passed by a group of other people.
- I asked my sister where the socks were. She told me it was by my other sister. The socks were in a bin sitting against the wall in the living room of our old house.
- Maybe something to do with taking a test.

I am standing in the front yard. Dusk approaches. The sky begins a pleasant blue, then brims over into shades of red an violet with sunset. There was a breeze in the air, to my remembrance. My mother lies upon the ground, wounded. The nature of her wound is an enigma, but all I know is she is dying and lying in a lake of her own blood. As I pick her up in my arms, my heart beats. I carry her to a truck in the driveway and place her in the back. I then realize that this is no ordinary truck, rather it is something I have seen in many other dreams.

If you were to sit in the back of this unholy truck while it moved, you would begin to rapidly age. The further the truck drove, the older one would become. Yet, in this moment of horror, it is the only way to save my mother from imminent death. As I take my seat in the passenger's side, I observe a stranger at the wheel. It is a man who wears a brown trench coat and thick-soled black boots, leather gloves, and a long black top-hat. He wears what I remember as a porcelain clown mask over his face. He waits for my command and he drives down the road, heading towards the hospital. As we cruise down the road, I see the surroundings outside of the truck transform magnificently. The earthly colors begin to change and I am going through what can only be described as a vortex of dark colors. Blue, purple, green, and pink. Solids become gasses, pass by as vapors all around me. Finally as we come to a stop, everything returns to normal. I step out of the truck, locate my mother. She has deteriorated into a gaunt, emaciated old woman with silver hair and at the brink of death. If her wound would not kill her, age would.

And age did.

DILD#1-I was trying to fall asleep when I noticed there was more light than there should be. I got up, pretty sure I was dreaming. I tried to jump to teleport and went though the floor to the void. I tried to imagine flying over the ocean but ended up back in my room. I teleported to the void again in the same manner. This time, the ocean appeared, although it was dark. I went underwater and noticed a huge shark which noticed me as well. I fought the shark, pounding it on the nose. I flew up out of the water and noticed there was a concrete wall on the shore. I focused on pounding the sharks head on the edge of the concrete as it was chasing me. This caused the shark to quickly become smaller until it disappeared.

I was now walking on an alley in a city. I started to lose the dream but I was able to focus on my hands until I was grounded again. I decided to phase through a stone wall for more points. I was now trapped in a courtyard with junk all over the place, so I decided to fly. I noticed the sky was now overcast. I woke up.

DILD#2-I was trying to fall asleep when I felt uncomfortable, as if there were more pillows than there should be. I saw that I was in a red and black room. I jumped into the void to teleport. I tried to imagine flying over the ocean again. This time, I ended up flying over a lake in the mountains. I tried to drop into the lake but instead kept rising. Eventually, I summoned enough willpower to dive into the lake, which was pretty shallow. Then, the dream forced me back up into the air. I thought, screw it. I'll do my summoning right here. What's bigger than human size? I put my hand behind my back to summon an eagle. I felt it bite and hold on to my entire finger. I struggled to break free from it but it only gripped tighter. I tried to get a view of the eagle but it was too big and was on top of my back. I somehow was able to free myself from and leave it behind. I woke up.

Around 3:00am.

I am hiding outside of a ellipse shaped compound wall which is knee high. Somebody from the inside of the ellipse shape wall structure, at the other side of the wall where I am hiding. So, I feel I was found and I have to move and hide at a different location but near the ellipse compound. I was found out, So I move again, I was found out.
[wakeup]

Feeling: Something I want to hide? which is not possible or not necessary ? Perhaps in the dreamworld it is not necessary.

I was in my old childhood room at my parents’ house in Colorado. I wondered how I got there, since I was in Australia last I remembered, but I dismissed the thought and started thinking about other things. I wandered down the hall into my parents’ bedroom where I found my Uncle. He was in there with his Chinese lover. I rationalized that he and his wife had gotten more open about their relationship since her recent bout with cancer. His lover said that she was studying to be a naturopath and that she wanted to do an energy healing on me. She put her hands on my tummy and was sending loving, healing energy into me to fix my stomach. My uncle took her place after about 30 seconds, and he was way better at it than her. He was gently blowing onto the area that he was sending energy to, as though he was fanning a flame. I felt very happy, appreciative, and connected with both of them. My uncle put his hand on mine for a minute.

I walked out of the room and into the kitchen where my mom was cooking spaghetti. I got really excited because I loooooove spaghetti, but then I noticed that it was filled with meatballs and ground beef and Italian sausage. I was sad, but I decided that I would make my own spaghetti. My sister came into the kitchen and told me that I looked fat. I took off my shirt and showed her that I had no tummy, but then she started talking down to me about being vegan, saying how it was very unhealthy and that I was pathetic for only taking my philosophies on how I want to live my life part of the way. She was saying that I should go move to a commune and be in nature rather than half ass things, because I will always be supporting corrupt corporations and unethical practices as long as I’m in society. I lost my temper and said to her, “At least I’m trying, I’m doing the best that I can. You believe the same things I do but you don’t even go part of the way.”

She looked shocked that I defended myself rather than letting her take punches at me without any recoil.
I took my vegan pasta to my room and became lucid while I was eating it. I thought to myself, “This pasta doesn’t taste like much for being dream food”. So I infused it with deliciousness and made it taste yummier. The next bites were a lot better but still not fantastic. I woke up.


I was on my elementary school playground and it was kind of a gloomy day. There were guys throwing a ball to each other, so I ran out to try to get past a defender, but I couldn’t shake him. The guys started to make fun of me and bully me. They made me feel like I didn’t belong with them even though I was just as athletic as them, if not more so. One of the bullies threw a ball at my face and I became lucid from it. I think he threw it at me again and then punched me, but I made myself impervious to harm and I was unaffected. Two other bullies threw their balls at me simultaneously from opposite sides - I caught them both with my hands in the air. I stole a beer out of the hands of the 1st bully that tried to punch me, tore off the cap, and then drank some of it. Very realistic. I tossed it on the floor expecting it to break but instead it just bounced up and down, spewing beer all over the place.
I looked at one of the bullies and told him that he was only mean because he was bald since his mom gave him a stupid haircut and so he was taking it out on everybody else. I looked at another bully and told him that he was mean because he was secretly gay. I told him that I knew about him wanting to have sex with the other guys in the locker room. I whispered into his ear that it was okay to be whoever he was, and that I actually preferred him that way. I transformed him so that he was wearing fabulous clothes. His physical body changed as well. I then took control of him and made him act feminine.
I turned my eyes towards the initial bully that made me feel like I didn’t belong, that had teased me and punched me and threw a ball at my face. I told him that he was the worst of all, because he had no heart. I told him that he had no way of sharing in the pain that he inflicts upon others. I told him that he was already dead inside.
I summoned a stairway that led up to a portal. I told him that if he truly had any heart, then he would pass through the portal unfazed, but if it was as I said, then he would be teleported to a hellish world that reflected how he was inside.

I’m at this strange pool party with a ton of people I don’t know. They’re handing out beers, but I pass. One guy near me, who is supposedly my friend, starts pressuring me into drinking it. I realize I’ve never met this guy before, and this whole situation seems strange… Oh yeah, I’m dreaming. I do a nose plug RC just to make sure, and (although it’s slightly blocked like I have a stuffy nose or something) I can breathe through it. I rub my hands to stabilize, but despite my effort the dream falls apart.

I lay motionless in my bed for a few seconds, and I’m quickly brought back into another dream. I’m now in the main upstairs hallway of my house. I quickly try to remember my tasks for the competition. Probably best to start with the 3-step tasks. I start off running at super speed towards my parents’ bedroom. I’m not incredibly fast, but I’m significantly faster than normal, so I figure it’s good enough. I run towards the window, leap through the screen to the outside, and start flying. I kinda struggle at the start, but then I get back under control and start flying higher. I look down and notice a giant cliff off the side of my backyard. Guess it’s a good thing I figured out this flying thing.

I turn around and land in my driveway, where there’s an old arcade version of Sonic the Hedgehog. Wait, isn’t that one of my personal tasks for the competition? I start playing for a bit, until I realize the actual task is to run through a level myself. Wait, I wonder if I can transport myself into the game. I reach in the back of the machine, pull out a loose VGA cable, and start to stick it in my mouth. I hesitate a bit, since I’m afraid of getting shocked on my tongue, but I remind myself that it’s a dream and “plug in” the cable. I do feel a distinct shock on my tongue, though it’s not as painful as I thought it would be. Some lights start flashing around me and I feel the scenery changing, but the dream destabilizes before it’s complete.

I again lay motionless in bed. It takes longer to transition this time, but I do eventually succeed. I’m now in this old classroom of a high school that looks like it’s just been converted to a storage room. There’s a ton of chairs, boxes, and filing cabinets all over the room, but there’s still a convenient pathway to walk around. There’s also someone sitting at a desk in the corner, but he seems to be minding his own business, so I ignore him. I realize I never actually finished the 3rd step of my 3-step task - teleportation. I try out a technique I read on the forum called “blinking”, where you teleport short distances very quickly, good for dodging attacks. I focus towards the end of the walkway, close my eyes, and thrust my head forwards before opening my eyes (in a motion similar to Jeannie’s in I Dream of Jeannie). I’m now at the end of the walkway, several feet ahead of where I originally was. I turn around and try this several more times, somewhat astounded at how simple and natural it feels. I try to step it up a bit by trying to blink to the other corner of the room. Unfortunately, I don’t really move at all, maybe only a foot or so towards my destination. I realize it’s because I wasn’t really visualizing my destination before blinking. However, before I can try again, the dream destabilizes.

I wake up in my bedroom. Rhett and Link are standing next to my bed trying to wake me up. Link is holding a bowl of pennies, and Rhett explains that the Mythical Beasts all donated pennies as a birthday present. Link points to the package of bacon at the top of the bowl. “That’s from us.” I’m kind of mad that they woke me up from my lucid, but I can’t help but find the situation hilarious. I reach up to remove my sleep mask and earbuds, but then I wake up for real.

Dream 3 Caleb (a cop), Zac (A prison guard) and the other guy (a druggie) should have made me slow down.
Dream 4 a different Caleb... quit QT a couple weeks ago
Dream 5 Time was confusing and made me slow down

Lucid 1
I spent a lot of time working my old old work. At the end of the dream I was driving with my sister and I realized I was dreaming. Hmmm... What are my goals?
"What are you saying Sensei?" My sister asks.
"Just wondering about." The dream starts fading.


Lucid 2
I am looking around my "bedroom" and notice that I am like a giant in the place, and it looks like Gotham, but more like it is still a child's bedroom gotham. I go to sleep and it sends me to the right size. I realize that I am dreaming as this happens. I take a grappling hook out and shoot it. I have to change some settings. I go too far and end up having to fly to hit my mark. There is a girl on the roof fighting some thugs. I jump over and punch one of the guys. He goes flying... oops. Need to hit less hard. I notice that the other guy is coming at me and I let it hit. Nothing happens. I TK him across the place. Screw it.
"What did you just do?" The girl asks.
I laugh. Don't worry about it. Show me a cool place to hide around here." I tell her. We both have to use a few different items to get there. I believe I lost lucidity a bit here.



Lucid 3
I am in a room... Dreaming... go to sleep. I appear in the same place as last time. Stabilize. Gotham, more like real Gotham though, and steam punk Gotham as well. I fly up to a roof. There are some people from my old church there watching tv. They seem boring. I fly to the highest roof. There is a hot woman up there... I use some mind control... Summon a few more DCs. Change one of their's age, change another one's gender... played some games together.

So That's it , I'm starting this dream journal so I can record my experiments, dreams, lucid dreams, and such happenings. Lets hope this time something meaning full will happen and not only unrealistc stuff, such as people spinning on still ballons, mass suicide, and any other meaning of horrible.

For a beginning I'll write a few of my latest experiments.

In the latest dream this morning I fought a guy with two fists, I couldnt hit him untill I also grew two fists on each hand, and from now I was even able to counter his moves. Weird .

In the latest lucid dream, I had a sloppy wild btw, I tried to stabilize with focusing on body, eyes ,sensation and dream enviroment,
Things got quite vivid, but moments after, the colours got more intense, and bright, and the whole room was in dimensional waves , and the painting of earth that hangs on the wall, there was the milky way on it instead and it started to come out in a 3D formation. And thats how the dream ended.

I'm at a networking event that's in someone's living room. In this dream, the very nice houses in the city are on a peninsula overlooking the water, and the host has a big house that fits everyone. It looks a lot like my house, but bigger.

---

I'm at the dumpster in our complex, and I've found a couple of really cool chairs that I could use in my studio. My husband is not happy with the prospect of dumpster chairs. I now realize that the chairs that were really nice a minute ago actually have broken lifting mechanisms.

---

I'm sharing a dorm with my mom and my brother. This is not a happy arrangement. We've just moved in, and the management is now telling us that we need to move to another one of their properties because they're renovating.

I'm arguing with my mom over whether we should rent a U-haul or take several trips in the truck. She vetoes my U-haul suggestion and says that we can make the truck work, but I say we have two hours to move and we need to take at least three trips in the truck.

A panel that we're loading into the truck snaps, and it flies with force towards my mom's throat.

Pause.

I realize that I'm dreaming.

With my mind, I catch the broken pieces as they fly towards my mom, absorb the kinetic force, and let them drop, harmlessly, to the ground.

I remember that my next task is to teleport—and that I want to teleport to a neighbour's house to fulfill two goals at once—but the dream is getting fuzzy and I'm starting to drift towards consciousness. Blearily, I think that it seems silly to teleport into a neighbour's house when it's right next door. I wake up.

---

Malfoy is sending a robot after me. It would be a physical threat, but as long as I pick it up and hold it on its side, it can't actually get to me, so that's a bust as far as evil plans go.

The robot follows me uselessly around the room.

We're in a playground, and I've hijacked Voldemort's followers by pretending that I, Harry Potter, am actually the next incarnation of Voldemort. (Or maybe I am?)

Malfoy is teetering on top of something that looks like the Cirque du Soleil-inspired stunts from Mad Max: Fury Road. He's trying to prove a point. He falls, but he's currently invulnerable.

Through a mortal lens I saw glimpses of the immortal. Imperishable dimensions built on the foundation of eternity. I found myself in the dark. It was unlike any darkness I have ever known. The sheer blackness was all-consuming and governed as far as I could see. I questioned my visual capabilities and soon learned I was not blind, yet I could not see. Whether it be my hand from my face, all was the same. The darkness was so deep, so thick, I felt as though it had seeped inside my very body. All around me I heard only screaming, moaning, and growling. It was as though I had stepped into a sports stadium, but the crowd screamed rather than joyously cheered.

I was falling, doing such at a speed like a descending bolt of lightning. I felt it in my gut, I was falling. In that moment I believe I left my body. For a fraction of a second there was an indescribable sensation that I had moved beyond my mortal sleeping body. When the sensation ceased, I found myself in surroundings anew. It was blurred, and fog was present, but I could clearly make out a solid ground which I sat on. It was whiter than snow and I stood up. I was wearing a white gown of sorts. There was a building just beyond me. Behold, it was large and white and looked as though made of precious stone or crystal or pearl. I saw a wall with many pillars and an array of stairs leading up to it. There was clearly a gate which was closed.

I felt the presence of another being with me, yet I saw no one. I heard the mumbling of a voice, and my surroundings were silent save for a swift wind-like sound. No others were present. In that I awoke.

I tried WBTB again, this time earlier, no success

Fragment: this dream took place in an earlier era but I don't know when. There was a prostitute, and she offered her services for free to another woman, who refused. That's all I recall. Though I kind of think there may have been something about family there too.

Full dream:

I was walking down a road with this man who was homeless, and he took on odd jobs such as washing floors at restaurants. He was telling me about this restaurant that he washed the floor for, that he just required that they provide him a mop, which they did. We walked to a restaurant, and the person at the door recognized me, and asked, so are you going to come and pick up those cakes tonight? I said yes. The homeless guy wanted to know whether this is something one can get paid for, picking up cakes. I said that I do not know what this was for, but that he could ask my husband (whom he knew, so I used first name in referring to him).

We passed the restaurant and behind it there was an enclosure with lots of dogs and cats including lots of kittens. The enclosure had a ridiculously low fence, and the kittens kept jumping over it, and I kept putting them back in. The restaurant person came and said that he had heard cats were territorial, and that that may be why they did not want to stay with the other cats. I said that's not it: they are not fighting or upset, they are just curious what's on the other side of the fence, and it is too low. I suggested he distract them with some food, which he kept in a wooden cabinet located in this backyard.
