All DJ Entries

I LD'd via WILD and stumbled around in my room for a few seconds, snorting like a horse with my nose plugged, just to check. It passed and I exited my room. I didn't attempt anything too exotic this time and simply walked downstairs, as there seemed to be a party of some kind. I met my grandma on the way downstairs. I entered the kitchen and found numerous family members. I made a beeline to the kitchen table and started eating. I saw a glass of what looked like whisky and eagerly drank it. Unfortunately, it wasn't whisky but ginger-beer flavoured tea. The thought then struck me that I hadn't actually remembered to stabilise the dream. I had just rushed off like an excited kid to the party downstairs. I tried to stabilise the dream, but it was too late.

As I felt the dream ending, I desperately tried to finish the ginger tea drink, as it was really quite nice.

Full moon night, as usual I had problems sleeping (a trait I share with my mother is that we usually can't sleep well when it's full moon). Woke up like 4 times during this night, I recall only three fragments. WBTB attempts failed.

First fragment

I was in a shop with my mother, we were buying something and talking with people.

Second fragment

I was in my house, the fragment was kinda blurry. I was doing something on the old PC.

Third fragment

I was in some city, it was a warm and sunny afternoon. I drove out of garage on a motorcycle that didn't has steering wheel, and drove around city like that.

1. Earlier in this dream I was a marine that had been helping out a lady put up some sort of advertising poster. She grew frustrated with me when I asked her where to put it up multiple times, and she would change her mind and where she wanted the poster to be several times. At this point in the dream I felt like I was a very inadequate marine, and this woman made me doubt my ability as one. I ended up just ditching her. During this entire time I was in what looked to be the stock room of some sort of huge building. The walls were either concrete or some sort of dull metal with little or no shine to it. The ground was just plain concrete but it was dirty. Overall this entire stock room I was in, along with a few other people, a marine, and the lady I mentioned earlier, was generally really empty.
At this point I walk to the back of this stock room where a metal door is lifted up, sort mimicking a garage door. I walk outside and I see many people just walking around and socializing with others. My friend Zion is currently standing right in front of me. Suddenly I get this weird feeling, and it's as if I have decided to become lucid. Nonetheless I am now lucid and highly self aware. I scope out my surroundings with my attention and see that there is a mall not far ahead of me. "What do I want to do right now?" I think to myself(I had no knowledge that the competition had started tonight so I wasn't competition-goal oriented). A sudden realization comes to me, reminding me that I can do anything now as long as I know that I can do it. "I can bring back Orion Jay; it's definitely been a while" I think to myself once more. Just standing where I am, I know and expect myself to become Orion Jay.
With that I look at my hands and arms and see what looks to be black streaks of blood rushing through my arms. Within seconds I can see that my entire body is now "in suit", but I have only achieved the rough draft version of this suit because I wasn't focused on the full version of it while manifesting it. I have no idea if my face is covered as there is no mirror near me and I'm not concerned about it enough to touch my face. I get an urge within me to fly, but I realize that if I do so I will give away my identity and everyone around me will realize that I am the dreamer(I am creating a story line where the prime base of it at first is that no one knows I am the dreamer). I then start walking through the crowds of people in front of me and approach the mall. "A will be in there somewhere" I told myself, but without determination.
I come up to one of the entrances of the mall, and the one I come up to is part of a store called Kay Jewelers(odd that a jewelry selling place has an entire store to itself). As I walk inside I realize that I have no idea where to start my search for A, but I decide to just do what I do best: explore. In this store, the floor is covered in a soft green carpet and the walls are blue. I walk all the way to the front of the store where the inside of the mall is, and as I do so I pass many areas that are full of women's clothing. At one point, a lady walks into the store from behind me. She seems rather old in age, and she has a vape in her left hand. A store employee who also happened to be a female sees this lady and tells her, "Ma'am, you're not allowed to bring that into the store." I can see that this store employee is of Indian descent. Her statement is quite hypocritical as, in the desk that she is standing behind, she has her own vape laying out in the open.
I continue my way to the front of the store and I as get there I see that the entrance is completely blocked by not only tons of customers, but also a few employees as well. It seems that these customers are in a line waiting to check out, but the line isn't organized very well and they just look like they are all bunched up together. I walk towards these people and try to pass through them. As I do so, the people that I am passing through seem to squeeze me and suddenly I am unable to move. "What the fuck are these people doing?" I think to myself. "Excuse me, I'm just trying to get through" I say to them. Only feet away from me I can see out the entrance and inside the rest of the mall. Suddenly a store employee comes up to me and blocks my view. "You're not going anywhere" she says to me.
Now, if I was more self aware then this would have been no problem, but my awareness was rather low at the moment and I had also gotten highly distracted so now I was stuck. I lost lucidity. Sometime after this I ended up making it through the line of people and I go into the rest of the mall and I see A multiple times.

I was in a story. I was looking for a book or a series of books. It slowly slips away as I type. But I was on some sort of small island, but it's developed. There were buildings, houses, towers. Even a mansion I think. But there were still a lot of trees. I was traveling from one area to another looking for something. Or avoiding something. The mood was mysterious but not scary.

Inside a house/building, I talked to a woman and a man (a butler?). I forgot our conversation but it's about the "mission." I think of gathering books.

I remember mentioning I was in the part "The Tower."

I roused myself from the story and "woke up." I was walking and a dog was jumping about nipping me by the hem of my shorts or by the legs. It wasn't painful except for the feeling of anticipation that it's supposed to feel at least painful.

Awake after about seven hours of sleep.

Meditate for 26 minutes.

Do energy body work, i.e. Inner alchemy, chakra activation.

Conditions: In room. Laying on back on slight incline. Lights on.

Methods use: imagine floating above body, walk around courtyard, swaying above body, sphere coming out of head and seeing self from above; energy body stimulation, autosuggestion, and so forth .

After about fifteen minutes of going through the several methods described I allow myself to fall asleep while maintaining a moderate level of concentration and awareness.

After a estimated three minutes I suddenly become fully conscious in my bed, seeing that I can see through my closed eye lids and there is a strange feeling of 'energy' in my body I quickly conclude I am in the dream state.

It takes a few moments to be able to rise from the dream bed, I visualise and Will my subtle body to coagulate and solidify, I then attempt to role on to the floor, after several tries I am successful.

I walk slowly out of my room into the hallway allowing my vision to crystallise into a steady state, when I walk into the living room I notice that the coffee table is no longer there, but this does not surprise me a great deal.

I walk outside through one of the many living room windows, I am on a second story. The ocean is again extremely close, only some thirty feet from the door. To my great surprise however there was perhaps one of the most magnificent landscapes I have ever seen in this word or that one. The first thing that drew my attention on the other side of the water was a towering and jagged mountain covered with snow, it reminded my of pictures of mount Everest. The next aspect of the scene was also remarkable, behind and to the right of the mountain was a purple and blue sun set, (or sunrise) there were a great variety of shades of the colours, coupled with multi textured streams and clumps of white clouds.

After enjoying the view I decide I would like to interact with some people, to my left down the shore about one quarter of a mile I see a small building, it looked at first like a store or small home. I lift only five feet off the ground and fly quickly toward it, stopping was a little tricky, my momentum wanted to carry me a bit farther. I walk in, it is a bar, there are maybe ten people standing around drinking, some by the bar, others chatting next to the several pool tables.

Break in memory. I am in the dream bed again. First I hear a stand up comedian talking, it was Joe from the show 'impractical jokers', it went on for a little while but i only recall one line accurately. He says "Why are there so many gays now days?" and then says "One thing:finger paint". Needless to say I found this a very odd stand up routine. Next there was the voice of a man who lectures on the evidence of alien structures on the moon and other things similar to that I had heard recently, this went on for some time.

Break in memory. I am again in my dream bed. There is a extra TV in front of the bed, I watch it few a moment and ascertain it is a dream re make of the classic movie 'the exorcist', that did not worry me, but I looked away not wanting to freak myself out.

I am walking through the hall next to my room again. A old old friend walks by and quickly reaches over and pinches my back causing a mildly unpleasant sensation. I attempt to talk to him but he ends up walking through the wall next to the bathroom, it did not occur to me to follow him.

I was in bed for something like one or two hours, I cannot help but feeling that a large portion of the lucid dream was forgotten sadly.

My memory of these dreams is kind of vague even though it happened last night but I'll try and recall it.Also, I forgot to think about the comic ideas question before bed. >. <

I was at home with my older brother who was talking to me about video game related things. After he finished talking about it I saw something from a game come to life and I began to question whether it was a good idea or not that my brother bought a game.Next thing I remember is ending up in a room with Dawn, Eye and Kiro. I know I'm surrounded by my dream guides than but I feel like they are visiting me in the current reality to meet my older brother. While my brother is waiting for something to happen and Eye and kiro are in another corner doing something else I focus on Dawn. I hug him and am eager to give him my favorite candies that I was saving for him.Beside me are two or three floating candies that make me think of bubblegum and taffy but than they turn into a rolling object with Yellow string strapped around it.I don't mind cause I know its a dream. Still hugging Dawn he asks me if I want to do something with him later. I say yes but he fades than reappears next to me. Kiro than pulls me away from him and is showing me a mountainous area with a cliff. Above the mountain I see a red flying carpet. Kiro runs to it with Eye but when kiro jumps for it he almost falls I apologize for not paying full attention to them and lift the carpet and kiro to a safe spot. After helping Kiro I think of my level of lucidity. "Just because I decide to help a dc doesn't mean I'm not fully lucid" is what I say to myself since I know I just like doing it. Afterwards Eye, kiro, Dawn and my brother exit the place and I follow. We end up in my living room and than go out the door where I find statues and a redish orange (:/) face painted on the wall. I see a light blue paint and decide to paint a smiley face on the wall to symbolize happiness over sad vibes. When I'm done I show it to Eye who acknowledges it. I woke up after looking at the other objects that were present though.One that stuck out to me was a small changing statue of a troll face.

Anybody Here?

Don't recall what happened first but I remember talking to my dad.Skipping to the lucid part I was grabbed by a dc that was mad at me but I don't know why.We were in the hallway of my house and it slowly began picking me up and turning backwards in an attempt to slam my head to the ground. I started wondering if anyone will defend me in the dream this time than suddenly I heard a sound of a sharp object piercing the dc that was trying to hurt me. When I stood up I didn't see anyone in the hall but than someone appeared taking the mad dc away. The way the dc was hit reminded me of the part where Maria saves Aya in the rpg game Madfather.(I never played the game but I skimmed through videos of JackSepticEye playing it and the true ending sucks so bad that I dislike the game completely.)

Next I recall looking at the top of a golden Arabic building with diamonds on the top. As I was looking I saw people there but than the scene changed to the inside of the colossal place.The inside was a golden mucky color and gave off a school vibe to it. I ran down and around the place singing for a bit to see if Eye would appear just by hearing my singing voice but he didn't and my lucidity left.I think I was pulled by a old English teacher of mine. She sat me at a desk where there was a huge blank sketchbook on it. As she outlined the edge of the sketch book with a pencil she asked me when I was ready to be evaluated. I said I was ready now. She said good but that she would see me in an hour. I was okay with that too. I woke up after that.


(I do not own the pic)

Alright, I almost couldn't remember these dreams in the morning because I took too long to write them down, but after trying to remember I managed to jog my memory a little and it all came flooding. Well, some of it anyway.

Dream 1: I'm Starfox

I think that in this dream, I was Fox Mcloud from the game Starfox. I remember I had to take some kid and his father to another planet (his father was also a fox like me, but older). We went to a big spaceship in the middle of the desert which was kinda broken down. Despite that, I entered it and started controlling it. At this point the dream was kinda videogame-y. I could barely fly it and ended up crashing it, but an Arwing came out of it and I began flying around i third-person. I also remember telling the kid and his father about the rules of my ship that they would have to obey so they come along. Basically I came up with those rules because I tought taking them along might be dangerous and these would help avoid some problems. The rules were stuff like "I'm the captain and I give the orders, if I tell you to do something you have to do it". There were more, but I can't remember them. I remember kinda feeling like I was being too strict, but it was for their safety.

Dream 2: Gravity Falls Boss Fight

I don't remember the context very well, but I remember I was in a group of kids with paranormal powers. We were in some kind of castle when we saw someone coming and became invisible, except for a girl who didn't have any invisibilty powers. I think the person didn't spot us at first but I somehow gave away our position. Then, someone else joined in and "title cards" for the enemies appeared, like in a videogame, showing a picture of them and their names, which I don't remember. They hand some kind of power. It was a shadow being that they could control, sort of like Stands in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure or shadows in Blue Dragon. One of them had a shadow that looked a lot like Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls, which I noticed in the dream. When the fight began, a cool sort of retro remix of the Gravity Falls theme started playing and I tought "Hey that's a cool easter egg" as if I were playing a videogame.

Dream Fragment: I can vaguely remember hanging out with characters from Ed, Edd n' Eddy, there was some kind of plot but my memory of this dream is pretty faint.

I'm in Bali, participating in a Hash run. I'm the hare, meaning that I'm setting the run. I don't remember much from this part of the dream. After that, I'm together with a group of people. We're just chilling and talking. Then it's time for the hash to start. At first I join the hounds in running the track. I stay in 2nd or 3rd position, as I have set the track and don't want to give away the directions. After running for just a little bit, I realise that I'm not supposed to run at all. A bit further down the dream, I realise that the run I set was incomplete. There was a great start with beautiful scenery, but that was it. I go down there to explain to the hounds that I got distracted by chilling with them. We decide to turn it into a live hash. I grab a bottle of water and a white bag with papers to set the trail.

At first a 30 minute head start sounds good, but that's not how much I'm getting. We're in some kind of gym. I'm going to be the hare along with a girl, who is later (Super) Mario. We first have to score a goal in a football match that's going on, before we can continue down to the door opening in the back, which is completely dark. The hashers first have to swim a section, then jump over some obstacle and eventually they will catch up to us. I instruct them to only start once we've scored the goal, but they start too early a couple of times. I warn them that if another person starts too early, they all do an extra lap of swimming. They all start too early again. They do their lap. Meanwhile my partner scores the goal, shooting the ball softly (kinda lame) at the goal. It inches by the keeper, who doesn't move. We run for the dark door opening and enter another room. I want to take a door to the right, but my partner wants to go straight to the emergency exit. I had already dropped some paper, so I have to kinda reshuffle that. We exit and turn right. There are vertical steel handle bars on the walls, allowing one to climb onto the roof. At least that's what Mario is trying to do, but he can't get up. I jump over him and make it up there, no problem, in the mean time dropping some paper. There's a male police officer on the roof, who is not too happy with my presence. I panic a bit and go up another level. I think at this point I get caught, or the excitement of it all wakes me up.

I didn't get much sleep. My grandkids tossed & turned & laid on top of me & each other. Sigh. I'm exhausted! It figures, the first night of a new comp & it was a bust. I probably won't get any again tonight cuz they don't leave until tomorrow. I guess I just hope for the best!

The first part I won't say here, but after a minute I was kissing a girl. It was foggy and dark and her face and hair color changed and I pushed her away from me, I was a little creeped out or repulsed and went away, flew. Then I remembered and told myself (so I'd remember after waking up) that I had had a lucid dream before this one and that I also vaguely remember having a third one that night. Oh and I went outside, trying to make the dream more vivid through commands or will-power but I don't remember if it worked.

And I had a non-lucid dream I remember the best part most vividly. Me and a girl in class were doing some math problem and as we were working on it, we happened to be close with our heads because we were writing or looking in the notebook and it was kinda warm-ish. Then we moved closer I think or we moved our heads more sideways so we'd touch heads more and then she was just leaning her head on my shoulder or pushing her hair into my face and I was a little shy and was just sitting there enjoying her warmth. (What the hell was I thinking not doing a reality check xD There's no way this would happen at school) She had long straight blond hair and I don't remember her face (I rarely register faces), I think she had blue clothes over her upper body.

Unfortunately I didn't remember the 2nd lucid dream nor the third. My recall is pretty bad unfortunately. But I'm struggling to wake and sleep in time for school and it's a big change for me since I've had an even lazier life before I started college so it's okay. I think I'm slowly adjusting and soon I can make time for remembering dreams and occasionally sneaking in some extra juicy morning dreams :)

Ahh, nothing like a fresh competition to get me to write in my DV DJ again. And not a bad start, I will say.

Fragment: I’m doing acting lessons in preparation for the Christmas play at my church.

After I do a WBTB, I find myself in this huge mall, where there’s a ton of weird people walking around, and even weirder stuff for sale. I walk outside in the parking lot, where there’s hardly any cars anywhere. Weird, why is it so packed inside then? I look up at the sky and suddenly realize that I’m dreaming. My mind immediately goes to knocking out my 3-step task for the competition. I start running and then slowly lift my feet off the ground until I’m hovering just a few feet off the ground while still moving forward. I round a corner and nearly slam into the hood of a police car pulling up to the intersection. Luckily, I swerve to avoid it and instead just graze the front of the car with my hand. I gain some altitude, but notice that there’s nothing past the edge of the parking lot - just a drop-off into the abyss. Guess I don’t really have anywhere else to go. I head back inside the mall.

I try to remember the second of my 3-steps, but for some reason mistakenly think it’s mind control. I walk up to this guy standing in the food court and telepathically tell him to make chicken noises. He suddenly starts bawking for a few seconds, until the bawks start to turn into coughs. I fly up to another really tall guy (seriously, like 8 feet tall) and try to manipulate his mind, but he instead starts reading my mind. “I know you think you can change my mind, but I won’t be doing that.” Wow, what a tool. “I know you are, but what am I?”

I’m in a different location now, somewhere in the country that looks like a setting from Little House on the Prairie. I’m working for the sheriff, who is basically a glorified drill sergeant, barking orders at me to do random menial tasks. He wants me to fetch water from a super dirty water pump in someone’s backyard and pour it into a pipe sticking out of the ground 3 feet away. Of course, he doesn’t give me a bucket, and the only ones lying around are caked with dirt and rust. I remember my third step is element manipulation, so instead of using a bucket, I try to pull water straight out of the ground. I put both my hands forward and focus super hard, and manage to make a ball of crystal clear water rise out of the ground. I slowly move it over to the pipe, as it morphs into a sort of rounded cube. I drop it right into the pipe and smugly turn back to the sheriff. He’s incredibly angry that I used powers - so angry, in fact, that he takes a swing at me with an axe. His first swing hits me in the shoulder, and there’s a bit of pain for a short second, but it goes away before his second swing. I dodge it and manage to grab the axe out of his hand, before breaking it over my knee.

I wake up in some version of my house. My parents have told me they’ve repainted the guest bedroom. I walk in to see that the walls are painted black, with random pink and blue lines painted in certain places. It looks like that hideous 90’s laser background. I walk back into the hallway and realize that the layout of the house makes no sense, which makes me lucid. I head back to the living room, where I see the sheriff from the previous dream in a game that’s playing on my Xbox One. As I walk by, I get a video call through my Xbox from some user named “Fatal”. I don’t recognize the username, but when I see the video preview, I realize it’s JadeGreen. I hit the answer button, but I realize that I don’t have a camera or a microphone to talk to him with. Yet somehow, he hears me through the controller. Once the video is full-screen, I can faintly make out Manei standing in the background. I tell him to hang on a second, I need to find a keyboard and camera. I rummage through the living room, but don’t find anything, so I try to summon a keyboard with no luck. I eventually wake up for real.

I fall back asleep and have a 3rd-person dream where I’m watching this car chase involving the cast of Leverage and Scrubs in a black Cadillac trying to outrun the cops. Sophie (Leverage) and Carla (Scrubs) are sticking out of the car firing tommy guns at the police cars. At one point, the car hits a ramp and flips, but everyone inside is fine.

I’m now at some church event where all of the band is in an RV right by a huge outdoor stage. We’re just kind of chilling in the RV, when we hear the music start on stage, which is our cue to get up there. I walk down the steps, when I’m only wearing a t-shirt and underwear. I rush back in the RV to change, but I’m passed by an old gentleman who is wearing only his underwear and doesn’t seem to care.

Went so sleep at 4 am and woke up at 10:38 am. Slept about 6 to 6:40 hours, and i feel well rested.

My recall about the dreams last night is not great, probably due to how strange the dreams were.

I dreamt i was in the entry room of my grandfather house. I was in the dining room and went to that room. It was night, and there were some "saints" there... converting people from normal good persons into fully powered saints. However they were called saints but maybe they werent, they just transformed into the most powerful version they could, but that didn't mean they would be nice... I didn't trust them. There were some cards, that had titles like "father", "mother", "priestress", etc... and people were turning into that, and only one person could turn into one kind. There were hundreds wanting to turn, and they all could probably before their lifetime was over... but i wasn't sure that was the right way... I think that "the father" began, and then turned the mother, and so on. The last one was the priestress. [They were all saints of a religion similar to the religion of the seven of game of thrones, but with many "gods".]

These saints were hanging somewhere in Egypt... in a desert, probably in the Sphinx, and there were pyramids too. Actually one wanted to open a sand door, but didn't have the tools to open it. Arya Stark was prisioner... but she was treated nicely (I just watched her as if i were behind, but like a spectator...) She was given a rapier, and when she finished her dinner she practiced with it as she would see other people do.

Then i dreamt i was near a river, probably of my home city. Neil DeGrasse Tyson burns up a pick-up.
Then i wanted to cross a street, but i saw cars were rallying. So i waited so i didn't get hit. A car was coming but it was slow enough for me to cross, so i crossed the street safely. (This part was more vivid, as if i were aware of what was going on, but not lucid) It was wide. There was a bus parked, and when i see the side i couldn't see from the other side of the street i saw a girl that was peeing on the floor. She was looking at me wanting to say how timely i was... but ok i didn't want to watch her so i just walked on towards a desk that was in front. (Now the dream started to darken a lot, it was hard to see but i knew i could see so i hanged on) In the desk there was some luggage of my sister. A guy, friend of her came by and just grabbed a backpack of my sister and started walking away. I couldn't let him do that so i ran behind him and talked to him to get the backpack back. He gave it to me and said something like not to feel ashamed and goes. Then Eri, my sister, comes with one or two friends. I don't remember if she asked me anything or not, but i told her that a car burned up, and she complained and said something that it was my fault. (I couldn't do anything for it. Since she wasn't there she didn't know, but she talked anyways. Anyways i was aware of this so i didn't care what she said, i actually felt like sad for her, but didn't pay too much attention.).

Fragment: Then we were on the appartment (it was very different, i haven't been in an appartment like that before. It was like a duplex.) and she talked on the phone asking how much the debt of the rent was. (Well... i might be worried about this so that's maybe why i dreamt with it. But i shouldn't worry too much either since it's a stage, and also i know that being clear is way better).

Had 2 Dreams last night. However, they seemed to follow the same story unintentionally, so I'll be putting them in this one DJ entry. Both of these dreams were fun, and both focused on me fighting this 'sage,' as the DC's called it. The Sage was an evil cannibalistic person who could use magic of some kind.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dream 1

It starts off with a few members of the marching band deciding to practice next to a really steep cliff, with a jagged, rocky 'wall.' A dust explosion occurs in the distance. A shadowy figure flies towards me, and I couldn't make out the details or features. He hits me, and I end up hitting a rock. The figure charges towards me again, but I jump off the rock just before he hits me. As I fall, I see an explosion of dust where I had just jumped back from, and the figure once again charges at me. A blue slime pops out of my sleeve and connects me to a sky tram placed in a very convenient, although sensible, location, connected to the top of the cliff and somewhere I didn't care to look. the slime pulls me to it just in time to dodge, and I end up crashing through the wall. My face hurts and my left arm was sore. While I was laying down, I saw a person, encased in stone and with red eyes and two nubs of horns growing from his forehead flying up to look at me as the tram moved away slowly. He didn't give chase. I wake up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A brief awakening and missed dream signs

When I am awake, I feel pins and needles on my face, and my shoulder is somewhat sore. I prepare to do a DEILD, but fail when my dog starts licking my face, making me open my eyes. So I decide to think about missed opportunities to become lucid.

Dream Signs
1) Cliffs rarely form away from oceans, and I don't think there are any around my location.
2) The grass was to dense and lush.
3) A flying man attacks and no one flees.
4) I survive the first attack.
5) I dodge the second attack.
6) I have a pet Blue Slime. (I genuinely want one now that I've had that fun dream, though.)
7) Convenient Sky Tram keeps me from being hurt again.
8) This Dude can Fly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dream 2

I am running back from the guy who I saw in the first dream. Only, he's fat and eating people in my school. People are saying "he's the sage, here to save us all," and similar things. I shout "Can't you see he's EATING PEOPLE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!" People just stare at me like I'm crazy. I dodge past my short section leader, who is taller than me in this dream, and see my other section leader, who's normally taller than me, but is my height in this dream. He's not in the line to get eaten, so I figure he's at least one person with common sense remaining.

"Hey, you see that guy eating people?" He says.

"Yeah, I think he might be evil," I respond.

"OHHHH!" He says, surprised.

Like an idiot, he gets in line. 'Whatever,' I think to myself as I take shelter in the cafeteria. The cafeteria is round, and missing 60 degrees of wall. The fat 'Sage' flies over to me. The remainder of the lines seemed to come to their senses and entered the cafeteria too. All of a sudden, I remember the previous fight. The sage grabs a butter knife and... stabs his left eye. He becomes skinny and lots of copies of him are made. Blue Slime turns into a sword, and there's a bit of tension. I wake up.

DILD #1-I was sleeping and something felt off I guess because I did a nose plug. I could breathe. I couldn't quite believe it so I did another one and this time became lucid. I opened my eyes and saw I was in a dark, empty room with a closed door. I leaned my side against the wall and slowly phased through it into a hallway. The hallway was lined with several closed doors on each side. It was quiet and peaceful. I tried to make the dream under water but couldn't. I went outside into the backyard where it was nighttime and overcast. I tried to breathe fire but couldn't. I noticed a lion cub sleeping and checked it out. I tried to make it rain but couldn't. Looking for something to do, I jumped up to fly. I made it a bit higher than the second story of the house before I woke up.

DILD#2-I was talking to somebody and did a nose plug for some reason and could breathe. The dream was wobbly and unstable. I went outside into my grandmothers sunny backyard. I tried to stomp on the ground to create an earthquake but this woke me up.

Going to the doctor
I "wake up." I have an appointment in Atlanta with Dr. Carson at 9:30. I check the time and decide that I have another fifteen minutes before I need to get up. My wife comes into the bedroom, seemingly also having trouble sleeping, and recommends getting up now - Atlanta traffic is very unpredictable, and I don't want to be late. I go ahead and get up. I check some mapping software on my phone, but I don't understand what it's telling me - it's showing me two curved arrows going from my house to the destination, almost forming an eye shape; both arrows fade from <a color> to red, and both fan off into many more arrows. I assume it's trying to tell me that there are many routes and that they're all bad. I zoom in and see that every street is colored red. Great.

Now on my way, and I'm riding a motorcycle. I know how much my wife hates motorcycles, but they're very effective. I'm trying to psych myself up for driving between cars which are stopped in gridlock, but thankfully I never actually need to; despite the lanes around me being stopped, my lane is moving well.

Now I'm driving downtown (I may be in my car now, but I'm not sure). Traffic in all lanes is jammed, and I'm trying to merge a couple of lanes to my left. Up ahead, I can see barriers across the two rightmost lanes of traffic - no wonder everyone is merging left and traffic is so bad.

Now I'm in a tasteful office building, at a reception desk that's at the intersection of a number of hallways. I'm talking to the receptionist, and I'm really suspicious that this is all some kind of conspiracy. She's very polite and answers my questions well, and I'm not concerned any more.

Now I'm in the parking deck at the doctor's, talking to Pete A, a friend I haven't seen for many years. I'm holding a pile of pipes and fabric, amazed at modern technology - this is the first time I've tried my car's 'fold' function, and I had no idea it could fold up so small or so light. Even so, I have a hard time keeping hold of it all and wish they could have automatically put the whole thing in a bag with handles. I realize I've got a bag - a big gray one made out of a tarp-like material - and start to put it in, wondering if this bag came with the car; but then I see it already has camping stuff in it from over the summer and remember that, no, this is just my bag. Now I'm talking to Pete again and notice my sunroof. I didn't know my car had a sunroof, and I certainly never opened it myself, so I assume it must have opened automatically when I parked to reduce heat. Unlike a normal one which slides back, this one has folded open three 'petals.' I reach over and wiggle a petal, then realize that this isn't actually my car. Whoops. Mine is one over, but I see that it, too, has a sunroof - a more traditional one that slides back on rails. I push a button on a panel on the roof and it closes. I wonder if there's a button inside the car that controls it too - if there is, I've never noticed it.

Now it's time for me to head home. I consider giving Pete a quick kiss (it seems that I'm a girl now?), but I decide that that wouldn't be appropriate and just make my goodbyes and get in my car.


An unusual landing strip
I'm watching planes landing. In turn, each one approaches what looks like a toll plaza, touches down just in front of the toll booths, and rolls forwards under the roof, out of sight. So far, all of the planes have been small, but now I see a larger one coming in. Not only is it large, but it's coming in really quickly, and I'm afraid it's going to crash. Amazingly, the moment its wheels touch down, it's going at the same slow speed as the others and taxies away safely. As it passes, I look at its tail and see the American Airlines logo. Even though everything worked out OK, I'm still rather horrified at how the pilot handled things, and American has lost some credibility in my mind.

The new water park
I'm reading about a new place opening up - a weird hybrid indoor swimming pool / game. It's small enough to be in a store in a shopping center. I see pictures of people in it - a deep pool filled with pipes about 3' in diameter - and I think it looks neat but scary - not only is the pool deep, but I think it would be far to easy to run out of breath while in the middle of one of the pipes and not be able to surface. Now I'm actually there, climbing out of the water (yet fully clothed). Now I'm talking to a woman about the cost of playing and the size of the prize for the winner - it seems to be a game of elimination, with the last player left taking the prize. The floor is glass, and the pool is under us, so I can see a couple of families swimming around having a great time.

Now I'm walking through a large restaurant area (much larger than the pool) filled with circular tables. I see the owner, an Asian man, and decide to go up to him and congratulate him on making something really unique. He's really excited about it and talks to me for a few minutes, eventually asking if I'll be bringing my family. I have to decline, saying that we live in the US and wouldn't be able to make it. He understands but still says he hopes that one day it'll work out.

Now I'm walking across a parking lot away from the shopping center with the pool place. I've just come to a gas station on the corner when I remember that I have my car, and it's back next to the stores. I turn around and start walking back to it, surprised by how large the parking lot is and how far I need to walk, and - by extension - how far I've already walked.

Now I'm driving around the shopping center. I realize that my stomach is grumbling and am tempted to look for something to eat. I don't want anything too sweet, ice cream or any real dessert like that; then I remember there's a store that sells some kind of frozen orange juice dessert, and I'm really tempted to try to search it out.


An odd gathering
I'm in a small apartment with a family I don't know well. We're all in the living room. Most of the family is seated on a couple of sofas, and I'm walking around, looking at things. I come across a water massager and fiddle with its controls for a minute, trying to figure out the different settings, but eventually I give up - they don't make a lot of sense. Eventually I give up and notice the I notice that the wallpaper, which at first glance just seems to be of mythical scenes, is actually rather ... risque. I consider asking my host about it but decide not to.

Now we're talking about watching a movie, but someone else has to go in a couple of minutes. Our host and another guy head off to get a quick nightcap before he heads out, leaving me with the kids (early to mid teens) and another adult. At first, I just keep to myself, but eventually the other adult comes over and we start talking. He tells me that AI is much farther along than anyone thinks and starts describing its progress.


AI apocalypse
Now I see a post-apocalyptic scene with a hunch of people standing in a derelict building, visible from the outside through a hole that's been blasted in the wall. A firing squad kills most of them, and the rest flee deeper into the building. I know it's the government killing off people it doesn't need since AIs are able to do most of the work now. Now I see the survivors of the first firing squad being executed by machines who have decided they don't need humanity at all. Only a couple of people escape. I watch them fleeing through more derelict buildings, grabbing what they can. Now I see some strange creatures - something like huge anteaters - moving along roads in the falling-down city, spraying themselves with water from their long trunks. They see something that looks like a huge cube of pizza and hurry over to it, and it somehow traps them. Now I see that the trap has been moved elsewhere and they're being freed from it to face ... something.


Security notice
I've received a security notice from my company's security team telling everyone to stop using instant messaging built into OpenOffice. I'm reading it on my new, pretty monitor. As with all the security 'training' they send out it's very pretty and totally useless. I flip through it, thinking they've probably sent it out because the official IM client is so terrible and they don't want people to have the option of bailing to one that works.

Now I'm looking at another security communication. This one is telling everyone that we need to install some new security software which will make sure we don't have any unauthorized files on our machines. I wonder how I can get around it - I have lots of useful third party software, plus a couple of games, and I'd hate for all that to get wiped, or to get me in trouble.


Space trip mix-up
I'm watching a couple of people - a woman (dressed in leatherish pants and a solid-colored long-sleeved shirt) and someone else - talking to a guy (who looks like the mission controller from The Martian). It seems he's running a new experimental service to get to and from orbit, and the woman was supposed to be on the latest flight - in fact, she'd already paid for the trip, but some kind of paperwork snafu lost her records. Behind them are weird stretcher-looking things, which are what people are attached to to protect them from the g-forces. Someone is saying it's a good thing she didn't go, because they've since found out that if she did go, she would have been fatally injured, and their cryo-preservation facilities aren't yet set up, so she couldn't have been frozen while she waited for them to find a way to heal her.
