Let’s play a fun little game. Try to count how many things seem weird or bizarre before dream-me finds one (there’s at least 25 in total). I’m at church for our Wednesday night youth service. We just had a guest speaker - my old RA from freshman year of college - who gave out a free plunger to every kid in the youth group. The band and I come up to play music, so I get set up on the keyboard. The youth pastor comes up after us and explains to the crowd that we didn’t have time to practice, so we’re basically going to be sight-reading these songs, and he’ll be leading us. Our first song is apparently from the year 1920 and has a ton of key and rhythm changes. At one point, the song even changes into the key of K. Still, it has a hard rock drum part in the style of the Foo Fighters that sounds pretty amazing, so I kind of like it. After finishing our first song, I have to switch to bass guitar for the second song, but my bass is on the other side of the stage. I manage to maneuver my way through a maze of junk on the stage - from palm trees to banjos to a sleeping cat - grab my guitar case and make my way back. The second song is more in the style of the Beastie Boys, and I’m kind of surprised when our youth pastor drops the F-bomb in the middle of the song (we are in a church, after all). I look around, but no one seems to notice or care. For the third song, I get back on the keyboard, but somehow it got unplugged during the last song. I go to plug it back in, but there’s so many ports in the back of all different shapes and sizes - it almost looks like a telephone switchboard. Tony, a guy from the youth group like 5 years ago, comes up on stage and yells at me for not figuring it out. He grabs the wire out of my hand and plugs it in for me. Luckily, our third song is interrupted by a literal parade of people coming from the adult class marching up through the center aisle and exiting through the side door. After the interruption, we’ve apparently decided not to do a third song, so I go back to sit down with Mismagius and his little brother, who are both wearing pullover hoodies with “IRC” in big letters across them*. The youth pastor starts his sermon with a video on the projector screen, which strangely has clips of topless women and people cussing. I look around again, but still no one is phased by this. In fact, most of the audience isn’t paying attention, and some of the kids are going up to the stage to get some free oranges from these tall cardboard boxes. Suddenly, it hits me that it’s Friday night, not Wednesday night - why are we having service? I plug my nose to make sure I’m not dreaming, but I can breathe through it. Weird, everything seems so realistic though, there’s no way I’m dreaming. I plug my nose again to make sure, and I can still breathe through it. “Huh, I guess I am dreaming.” Upon me saying this revelation, the entire crowd erupts into a loud cheer, like their favorite football team just scored the game-winning touchdown. There’s an explosion of confetti and streamers as more people start rushing into the room cheering. Apparently this was some kind of lucid hidden camera show, where they were trying to see how much weird crap they could do before I finally got lucid. The crowd makes a row out the door, and I proceed to give them all high-fives down the line. All my friends and family are there, some hugging me as I pass by, and others joking with me on how long it took me to realize. I finally make my way to the end of the line and find myself in my old high school gymnasium. Mismagius and his little brother are there again, and the kid starts making fun of me for not realizing sooner, claiming that I should’ve known as soon as I saw the huge American flag on the side of the orange boxes. I exit the gym and walk up to my friend Aaron. He’s apparently only heard stories of people becoming lucid, and he wants to see for himself just how incredible it is. The first thing he wants to see is how fast I can run. He takes off in a sprint, and after giving him about a 5 second head start, I take off and quickly catch up with him in about 2 seconds and tackle him to the ground. He seems incredibly stunned, and I quickly realize that hitting him at that speed may have hurt him. “Are you okay? Because if you’re not, I can fix that.” Luckily, he gets up and claims he’s fine. I wake up shortly after. After journaling the previous dream (chuckling the entire time at the ridiculousness), I go back to sleep. I’m now on some game show with a couple friends and a few strangers. The point of the show is that we have to fight each other in incredibly weird environments, like a water park or a maze of air ducts. The winner of each fight advances, until the final two compete in a fight to the death. However, from the start of the show, none of us want to fight (friendship for the win). However, the host, a teenage girl with straight black hair, threatens us with a water bazooka if we don’t do it. I conspire with one of my friends to fake a fight so the host doesn’t kill us. I hold his head under the water for a couple seconds until he taps out. My next competitor is a kid who looks like he’s maybe 8 years old. Since the start of the show, he was hiding in a pocket of air in the bottom corner of the swimming pool. As I dive down to get him, he quickly surrenders before I reach him. I manage to advance to the final fight, where my competitor is apparently the crazy jungle kid from The Wild Thornberrys, but I wake up before I can find him. DILD - 10 RC - 1 Interact with DC - 2 Super speed - 5 NLD - 1 WBTB - 2 Night 15 Total - 21 pts *Okay, to be fair, there is a school near my church that a couple kids in the youth group go to called Indian Rocks Christian. So even though it seems obvious in retrospect (“I’m Mismagius, you know, the one you always talk to on DreamViews IRC chat.”), of the entire dream this is probably the one thing I have a slight excuse for.
I was camping tonight, so my records are incomplete. I'm frankly amazed I remembered anything ... Naval infiltration I'm in a huge elevator, going up. On one wall, there's a giant glowing "6," but I don't know if it's showing what floor it's going to, or which elevator is it, or what. Off to the side, I see a door that leads into the bathrooms, and I'm amused - I've never seen an elevator with onboard bathrooms before, but this one is certainly big enough for it. Now I've done something, gone back down, and gotten back on with a friend. I look for the bathroom and am surprised that I don't see it any more - I'd really been hoping it would be there ... I also note that the 6 isn't glowing any more. We reach our destination floor. Now we're in a dimly lit room. It's long and narrow, and we're near what seems to be a bathtub. Somehow, the bathtub is related to our reason for being here. Now we're in a speedboat headed away from some kind of small floating "base." My companion indicates that "they" managed to get tracking devices onto us. He takes my bluetooth headset and a pair of wire snips and snips them right down the middle of the boom mic, then hands it back to me saying that it's safe now. Now we're going along at full speed. A large bouy is in right in front of us and we end up crashing straight over it. It's where we were headed for, so we turn around as quickly as we can. As we turn, I can see that another speedboat is almost on top of us - they were following us the whole time! Without waiting, I dive into the water knowing that I must get to <the thing> before they do! I'm concerned that I didn't have a chance to get any breathing gear, and I think how nice it would be to be able to breathe underwater. With that thought, I'm reminded of my personal goal and realize I'm dreaming. I completely forget about my pursuers and look around. The water is a light blue and is beautifully clear. Many swimmers are in the water around me, though most are higher up towards the surface - I'm already pretty far down. * I open my mouth and breathe in the water. I'm actually a little disappointed - I'd hoped it would feel really weird, but I just feel my real body breathing. In fact, even though I'm breathing through my dream mouth, I can feel the breath in my physical nostrils. I get a huge feeling of dissonance and wake up before I can do anything else. Sick friend I'm on a nice grass lawn outside a large house. I see a man come onto a small balcony with his wife, and I'm pleased: he's been sick for a long time, and it's good to see him up and about. Now I'm sharing a bed with him, and his wife is in the bed next to us. I know I was glad to see him, but I can't figure out why we'd share a bed. I'm grateful to his wife for her kindness to us, and I feel bad for taking the spot which should have been hers. On waking, the dream was explained: I'd been sleeping with my toddler who was having trouble sleeping in the tent.
D1 - Working for a company. We are joined by another and new company that seem reputable unfortunately they have been duped by others so that they can use our facilities, therefore gaining a back door entrance as we are not allowed to check their premises. Inside the office of the new firm they have received an assignment of boxes. In my minds eye I see them as containing some kind of weird green plant. In actuality when an employee opens the first box to find a very small insect like creature in some brown viscous gloop on his desk. He looks closer only to find the insect produces a mini-screen with red border, on the screen is written a statement saying they have nothing to fear. I can hear the thoughts of the insect as it laughs having fooled the humans. He then feeds the insect some food, it immediately starts to grow dramatically in size. It is now almost human size and gaining. It is a blue and yellow giant ant (help!). It tries to put it back in a box in a filing cabinet but it has its pincers around his head and he is now trapped instead of the insect. D2 - At my parents house they have made a much bigger plot of compost heaps, which they're are steps up and down to.
DILD #1-I was in bed when I was hearing a weird noise, sort of like an electronic out-of-control owl. I opened my eyes and saw I was not in my room. I got up and phased through to floor to a spacious room. I put my hand behind my back to summon a bottlenose dolphin and felt it. When I looked at it didn't seem any bigger than me. I put my hand behind my back to summon an orca and felt a dolphin but when I looked it was another bottlenose. This one was full sized though, about 10 feet long. I went up to its face an kissed it on the beak to try to absorb dolphin energy in order to transform into a dolphin. It didn't work and I woke up. DILD #2-I was in bed when I felt something was off. I knew I was close to transitioning into a dream. I tried to float out of bed and I did. I was gradually able to see. I stretched out my jaw to create a dolphin beak. I felt the rest of my body transforming. When I looked, I saw I still had my hands and my body was too heavy for me to see my tail. I started flying dolphin style to the window and phased through it. It didn't lead outside. I phased through several random images which lead to was looked like a large art room with various sculptures. I found a dog and decided to pet it. I woke up.

29.10.2016 (DILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I had a "Fake WILD", a WILD within a dream. This has happened to me before, but I forget if I usually consider it a DILD or a WILD. I think I'll consider it a DILD this time. I was in a hotel with my girlfriend. We went to bed and for some reason I knew I would have a lucid dream. I closed my eyes and right away felt SP set in. Vibrations were not as strong as they usually are, but they were there. I waited a few seconds and then sat up in my bed. I was not in my dream bedroom, but rather in the hotel bed. I stood up and did a reality check by plugging my nose and breathing. Air didn't get in as easily as it usually does, but I figured it was just a bit stuffed. I rubbed my hands to stabilize and read something on the wall. I remembered the Task of the Month. I put both my hands in my pockets and pulled out a slingy from my left pocket, and a pair of dice from the right pocket. I laughed and then jumped through the window, I phased through it. I started flying towards space. For a second I thought I was in the void, but then I saw stars everywhere. I started flying as fast as I could and they became distorted. I stopped and saw a blue planet, I knew it wasn't Earth. I flew towards it and entered its stratosphere and then decided to take away my flying, see if I could make myself invincible. I was falling fast but could sorta glide using my body position. There were several beautiful green islands before me, scattered in a deep blue ocean. I aimed towards one of them and at this point I was falling so fast that it became bigger and bigger exponentially. I landed on my feet, and there was an empty *POP* sound as I landed. I left a crater at the landing site of about 10 meters in diameter, I was unharmed. I walked to the shore, and looked towards the endless ocean, into the horizon. The sky was a mix of blue, and purpleish vanilla. I put my hands stretched out in front of me, and started waterbending. I made swirls in the air, made the shape of a dragon and had it dance in the air. Then I shot a big stream of water straight up in the air and made it explode, it was beautiful. I thought of what I should do next, and had a FA. The dream continued non-lucidly.
I felt like these were separate dreams, but since I didn't wake up I'll record them in a single entry. I was a monk, or something of sort. We were at war with another monastery. Me and another person infiltrated the rival monastery. There were nobody present, and we snooped around, and we found a cellar which had some broken things in there. As we looked around I doubled over in pain and thought that somebody teleported a tack into my stomach. Yikes. I don't quite remember how that situation was resolved, or it might have just transitioned, but I found myself going to sleep in the temple. My dream transitioned to me going on Mapcrunch and messing around on a random street in Germany. I find myself bodily transported there at night. It was cold, but I was undaunted and I explored. I found a coffee shop and drank coffee with somebody I thought I knew. My parent's orange shorthair exotic cat was with me all along and was following me. He was as shy and skittish as he was in waking life, though, even if he kept within the general vicinity of me. He kept wandering around the coffee shop and I was worried he'd get lost, so I put him inside my backpack. He did not seem to mind this, although he did tense and hiss if I tried to pet him. My dream transitioned to me playing a round of Duelyst, but instead of playing with my own deck and faction, I got backfilled for someone else. They were in a terrible position, my general was a young man in a lab coat, and my enemy's general was an armored woman (or she might just be Faie) and we both seemed pretty Vanar-themed. THe map is also pretty icy, and there was a blizzard filter. I had only one health left, but my enemy only got one minion that can reach me, and it can deal 2 damage, so I played a card that healed me for two damage. Then I replaced my useless spellcards for any minions to tip the balance. The next turn, some kind of event happened that gave us both 20 health on top. The game went on, I start summoning a bunch of minions and trying not to die. It must've been infuriating for my enemy.
I had several short dreams last night but this one is the most memorable for me as it seemed to last all night even though it won't seem like it when I write it down. I was confidently walking down a city street that appeared to be like a China town. I would never be doing this in my RL. I never go anywhere alone and that is probably why I always know I am dreaming because I am usually alone. I see dead animals hanging right there in front of the shops, yet I am still hungry and I smell something good coming from down the street so I keep walking and taking in the sights. Noone is looking at me, yet I smile and wave at people to try to cheer them up. I follow the smell to this little restaurant and I walk in. As I get inside there was a man in a black karate looking outfit with a yin yang type symbol inside a suns flames. I thought he was the waiter so I followed him inside. He took me through the kitchen which was odd, and then into a back room where he asked me if I had anything in my pockets. I checked my pants and nothing, but my hoodie had a crumpled up used tissue in my left pocket and my right had a baggie with about 10 cough drops. (Ummmmm I already did this challenge haha) he pointed to the trash, in they went, I then followed him to another room which looked like a closet where he placed a blindfold on me (this felt strange yet for some reason I was going along with it because curious me is always wondering what the message is, am I about to get a cold? I had cough drops) I am now in darkness and he pushes my back forward as I hear the creek of another door open, I am now standing inside a room with nothing but silence. Now I am expecting the VOICE to appear. It felt like at least 10 minutes I waited and the Voice said he has been waiting for me and we need to get started on the lesson (almost like I was late which kinda hurt my feelings being I never know when the lessons will happen). I feel pretty comfortable even though I cannot see, I feel very safe with the Voice nearby. He tells me to visualize the ball he gave me the last lesson. Asked me to describe it to him. It was larger than a softball and appeared to be earth or a similar looking planet floating inside some kind of liquid with what appeared to be a fragile glass outer layer, it was cool and lightweight and glowed a greenish glow. He told me to see it and feel it in my hands right now as if it is there. I hold my hands up and really feel as though he placed it in my hands so I felt I had to be very careful with it again. I started to feel the energy coming from it and it was working its way down my arms, I started to swirl it above my head in a circular motion and could feel it traveling down my body. I then brought it down to my torso circling my hands with the ball to keep the energy flowing then down to my knees. It felt like I was standing inside a ball of energy. The Voice said there is a maze in front of me and there is only one way out. Blindfolded I am to find my way using the energy to guide me. I was a little hesitant but the energy felt awesome. I started to walk and could feel the energy from the wall in front of me as if it also had an energy field around it and as I bumped into it I could hear the vibration as I bounced off of it, I now feel safe and protected. I make my way through this humongous maze that never seemed to end and there were many obstacles in my way, like chairs, balls, etc, it got to the point where I could not only feel the energy but I was actually able to see through the blindfold several different colors surrounding objects. I also saw my useless grayed out eye holes as I have done once fairly recently like I was seeing from behind my eyes a few inches back. Hard to describe that one. I came out the other end and walked out of my bathroom and my husband asked me if I was going to cut his hair. He handed me the scissors and they floated above my hand. I woke up.

Last night, bed 9pm - 3:20am I surfed the TV just before bed and stopped on a show called Doomsday. I had a bunch of "end of the world" dreams before and wanted another intense dreams like that. This is what I thought about while watching ICBMs streaking through the skies. DR: I just got to some beach. I'm walking to the sand and at the edge of it there is a pile of white socks. I laugh, knowing that all those people took their socks off to go on a sand and never got them later. I take mine off too, but I put them in my bag. I get to a building and walk inside. I walk around up and down the stairs and pick up two magazines to read later. People start running around and I hear from someone, that Cesar (forgot the name) was assasinated. I think of the same reason that began WW1 and I know the war is about to start. I pull out my phone, throw the magazines to the floor and I need to call my mom to kinda say goodbye.
only two low level lucids where i, for some reason, remembered the advanced totm: walk with your head i riding my bike thru a forest. i turn left and ride up a hill. there is more and more snow until its high as my hip. it dont feel cold tho. now i ride down the hill on the other side and i try to ride slowly and controlled so i wont trip. there is a turn and i try to come around slowly but i slide and go straigt ot of the turn and find myself behind a building holding something to not fall down. i notice that i am levitating a little and i get lucid relaxing myself. i do a nosepinch and float around the house and land on a stair and move down. for some reason first thing that come up in my mind is the totm. i do a headstand but in suddenly feel gravity shifting and kind of falling into the ground and i wake up. there was a party? i have taken some drugs? i see a friend taking some and i enter a bus. i dont manage to get out at the right station and have to walk one. while walking i see some plants in a garden and they are beautiful. its more a bush and has some blue flat flowers. while moving calmly i get lucid again and do a nosepinch to confirm. for some reason there are some fries on the ground (i drop them?) and i pick them up with TK and thinking about to eat it but they are dirty so i tk them away. and again i thinking about the totm and so i slowly and controlled start do do a handstand, it feels very realistic and is a little shaky but then i manage to remove my hands and only stand on my head. i look on the ground and will myself to move. i dont feel anything so i imagine to see the ground moving as an indicator that i am moving. fair enough i start to see some movement and i feel the ground. but i dont feel like my head actually is "moving" but i stand on my hand and i seem to move so fair enough. i get woken by the alarm.
The Prom With class we made a prom. For some reason girls haven't arrived so we made a men party out of it. At first it was in school, but then we moved to my house. Failed WBTB attempt. In darkness I was in some old block of flats, in basement. It was completely dark, I was wandering the basements with two glock pistols with mounted flashlights ready. There was some sort of cataclysm that forced people to hide underground and escape from walking dead. I heard someone moving behind me. I turned back and lit that way with flashlights. There was a dark haired woman in white t-shirt and blue short trousers. She said "It's you. I just... wanted to find someone who I can trust..."
I woke up after another dream and quickly drifted into this dream, I assume it was a DEILD but I can't quite explain how I got into this dream, I suddenly just was in it. It was pretty short and I don't remember very much either. I was walking on a street, outside, it was nice weather. The most notable thing was me looking at some street signs. I have a very rough image of them left but... I could hit my past self for not immediately noting down what was on them. There was some kind of explanation for something.

10/25/2016 There was like a Chevrolet commercial. Old timey looking, like a bunch of different cars. I was driving some kind of boxy weird truck thing that wasn't like anything I'd ever seen. There was a time portal thing and you could see stuff going away from you. Before that there was trip on a weird planet and the water wasn't okay to drink. And there was some kind of controversy about what we were going to eat and trying to get water samples. Then some alien took my fork and I couldn't get anything to eat. Then it switched to a cafeteria thing and we were trying to catch a bus and we needed a map. I didn't need one because I knew the way home, but they did for some reason. I was out in the country coming up to a house, and saw a horse about 40 yards away as I walked down a kinda grown up gravel road. I climbed up on a thing like a pole barn without the metal sheeting, just the frame it was metal. I didn't want to have trouble with the thing. I didn't really do anything, but then it seemed like it was a moose for a while. Somebody was trying to say something, like I had something wrong with my feet, like an open sore and there was some kind of larva or worm crawling in my foot and someone got rid of it for me.

10/20/2016 10:30 – 6:30ish Something woke me up and I tried to WILD. Saw amazing HI for a while. It worked up to the point of seeing a scene form, but then I woke up. Some random dream happened, but I don't remember it now. Kinda overshadowed by the other thing 10/22/2016 horrible sleep 1:00 – 3:00 7:00 – 8:00 9:00 – 12:40 or so Explained something that I thought was real to some DC, a fight of some kind, but then realized that it didn't really happen. Pretty realistic conversation, but that's about all I remember. 10/23/2016 Kind of the tail end of something else. Some person from a dream something. They were trying to get interested in some gear they had. Without getting sick. They kept getting interrupted or something Kinda like a D&D thing, really meta-gaming. During the game people inside the game were arguing about one version versus another version, and how it would be different if they were playing a different version. Like it wouldn't be like this. They were arguing about this in character though and still arguing about that. It's funny now, but it was serious at the time. It was really snowy, with different types of characters. Very lifelike. There were different types of people not just humans. I think there were halflings.
10/18/2016 10:30 – 3:30 4:00 – 6:30 I was trying to find these academic papers. They were in these buildings, like a barn type thing with academic papers. There were a lot of Russian people. I remember trying to climb down a ladder trying to get this stuff. There was quite a bit that happened, but that's all I remember. <break> We were riding in a truck, no top on it I'm pretty sure, there was a lot of wind. There were a few of us in it, going so fast I slid in front of the seat on the floor and had trouble getting back up. Then later me and some guy were driving along this big tree that was way above the ground, I didn't see how far up. It was really windy tree and curved back on itself in a lot of places. We were driving across to other trees, or other parts of the same tree. We pulled off to sleep. There was power, electricity and we recharged something. One of the people with us was a girl, but I don't remember anything else about her. There were these kind of cowboy type people they had been doing something bad. We actually didn't run into them, but killed somebody apparently. There was an classroom setting part of it was people making beer, and a DC was getting mad at them going up the stairs. No sure what was going on in the class room. Where we were reading a book. Some was in Japanese and a guy was reading it super fast, so I tried to read it, but I don't remember what it said. A guy was getting kinda interviewed. They'd asked him about these guys beings sad that they'd killed that guy. But the guy interviewing them saw through it, it seemed like he was lying.
10/17/2016 10:30 – 3:30 ( I think) 4:30 - 6:30 people getting sick, but little kid like 2 got through it and was immune, and somehow spread it. A bread delivery thing. Like a little white cat or rabbit, with a dog following it around, very cute, very bright. <break> Adventure kinda thing, outside in a grassy area with trees. Bunch of people scattered hiding around, war time, there were lots of arrows no guns. It lasted a long time, I forgot a lot of it. I was trying make stuff, it was kind of like a game. I remember pressing 'm' on a keyboard and then seeing where the thing would be made, an outline kinda like ARK. There was a blue outline under some brush where I would be hidden if I went there. A bunch of people came back, like they were skirmishing, but came back. I was part of their group. I was in a wagon, and guy could hide me somehow in some fog he was saying. Then it cut to like a part where I was reading and seeing a video like you tube on a website where you could hide under a tree, by glitching under the ground and you shoot out through the tree like a it was bug in a game. Then some of the people with the wagon and saying some Japanese stuff. The guy that was going to hide asked me if we should hide. He called me 殿下（でんか） so maybe I was a noble or something, and asked if we were going to hide. Either me or someone said 当たり前.
