Off and on sleep at around 11am, when I noticed my body was very sleepy and I knew I was about to go into either SP or a lucid. So, I thought to myself 'okay let's go lucid' as my body started to feel that numbing high feeling that comes with lucid sometimes. I needed to create a dream scene, so I decided on the skydiving example that I've used in the past. For a moment, I could see the open door of a plane and blue sky out of it, but then that faded quickly. I tried to imagine another scene. For some reason, a girls face appeared in front of my view. She was blue and had darker hair, I couldn't make out any of the details in her face but I've seen her before, probably in the same way as last time, coming into a lucid. The girl's face fades away, and now I appear in my room from Mechanicsville, except the bed is against my window looking at the wall. The first thing I notice is my hands. I flip them over a couple of times. I notice that the room is very dark, so I shout "illuminate!" but nothing happens. I can sort of tell that the dream is collapsing, so I tell myself "no" and start rubbing my hands together. I can feel friction, and the dream stabilizes. Next, I look up at the ceiling fan and shout "illuminate!" again, and this time the room flickers and then lights up. I celebrate to myself and then decide I was going to go look at myself in the mirror because the image is fucked up in dreams. So I walk into the hallway and into the bathroom. There, I see myself in the reflection, except it's like I'm in a carnival fun house or something where the mirrors distort how you're shaped. I get up close and see my face is all smooshed together and I laugh. Then, I remember that IRL I wrote an "A" on my left hand for the "awake" reality check. I looked down at my left hand and see that where there was an "A", there was just a semi-circle with some lines coming off of it. Then, I noticed under that symbol the words "A MOOSE OWWES" written in red pen. This confuses me one because I thought that people couldn't read in lucid dreams and two that sentence doesn't make any sense at all. After that, I walk downstairs but halfway through need to take a seat because the dream is collapsing. I rub my hands again and shout "illuminate." I can hear my mom yelling at me from the kitchen. She's telling me that I'm going to distract my sister who is sitting at our counter doing some sort of puzzle. I walk past them and then the dream collapsed.

Sun, 06 Nov 2016: 1040pm-210am(like 3:10am) [email protected] with time change!! 225am 2x alpha gpc (600mg) after first recording dreams from 1st part of night. (Stay up 55 minutes more and then take…) 320am 8mg galantamine + 500mg choline Wake ~630am finish writing quick notes 7am (2 previous attempts had gpc 1.5 hours before the g+c=terrific results also; and 1 hour before=quite good result. So anywhere from 55 minutes to 90 minutes between the gpc and the g+c is producing nice results) Only posting the occasional LD here on DV, too time consuming. *Phone screen app tease, doesn't finish loading, aha phone not working right, must be a dream, vibrate float around vaulted ceiling for a good while. This was DILD in first REM segment after WBTB. *Epic LD!! (2nd REM segment after waking from first, WILD style entry with vibrations) flying while singing-2songs with the background music-mostly the classic fly like an eagle - The Steve Miller Band, switch=i want to get away-I want to fly away-Lenny Kravitz, switch-back to classic song when Kravitz song doesn't have the same exhilarating effect. Flying, singing and enjoying the music for a good while. ocean view!!! amazing view down a good size drop off, sunny day, people in the water and on the beach so colorful I was almost in tears at the beautiful, consistent, lasting scene my dreaming mind was providing to the point that I got concerned about dream stability due to the strong emotions. I calmed myself and then started to edge my way down to that beach but visual issues so I flew back up to the busy market scene I started from. Cousin M and another cousin. I enjoy seeing them. It feels as heartwarming as if we were actually together and not many many miles apart. I meet a beautiful young lady maybe only 19 or 20. We are attracted to each other but I am not as sexually charged as other times. She tells me she is a virgin. I asked her if she wanted me to show her the ropes. So cute-she said not yet-I say okay-Let's meet BackHereInDreamlandEveryYear around the Summer until you are ready. I meet another mate and she is game to have sex but says that her boyfriend is controlling and won't like it so I will have to take care of him first. I say show me where he is. She takes me a short distance to the covered but open structure where it is a little dark inside and her boyfriend is there with a guy and they seem to be having sex. There is also another set of 2 guys seemingly having sex also. The boyfriend sees me with her and he comes out wanting to fight and I smash his head with one powerful clap, more like a cartoon smash with no gruesome effects. The other 3 guys come out to challenge me and I do the same exact thing to each of them, dispatching with them quickly so I can get back to sex with my new "girlfriend." Handsome face slap. I see a DC guy with a strikingly handsome face and I give him a friendly light slap on his handsome mug. I say I am not into you but damn you are a handsome looking guy. I see a mirror and take a look. The visuals of me in the mirror are distorted. I think of goal/peg#4 show me the best way to have more lucid dreams-I see a version of me graying and wearing glasses…hmm…are they reading glasses maybe suggesting to read more? (now I think it could represent time, I can have more LD's by simply putting in more time, with the passing of time). I tell one of the DC's: next time tell me this is dream and for me to look at my hands. I repeat this 4-5 times and practice looking at my hands in the dream where it may be better reinforced I am thinking. I see another mirror on the left side of the room and interested to see what I get and this time I am a blondish graying woman in a old fashioned dress that looks like it might be a traditional dress from Europe, maybe Holland but it is not very decorative or fancy. I open up my dress just to see what's underneath but get interrupted. A lady much like the one in the mirror is telling me where she is from and what her name is. I think I could look this up later. I summon a pen and paper and start writing the details. I tell her I can't bring this paper back to the waking world but I can memorize it better once I write it down and I can show you my written understanding of what you said. Her first name I had to rewrite a few times but in the end it was "Pots." I thought during the dream how that is "stop" spelled backwards but ignored that and kept trying to make progress, hoping to get something I can look up when I wake. There was her last name given too but it has slipped from my recall. At first she seemed to indicate she was from the early 1900's (before 1910, seems it was 1908 or 1906) but later she was giving me details that were tied to some time in the 1730's (thinking 1733 or 1737). I wasn't sure what I was missing between the two sets of vastly different time periods there but perhaps it's just the way numbers and words can change in dreams, but at least it wasn't gibberish. I wake feeling like I had an hour of lucid dreaming but there are memory gaps in the above.

#500 - DILD I am going to a Halloween party but I have to go #2 really bad. Since we are not far from the house, I decide just to drop my wife and kids and go home to poop. I don't why. I drive away and end up in a grocery store. I pass by M who I haven't seen or spoken to in ages. She looks amazing and her hair looks radiant. We say some greeting and I ask how she is doing and leave. I reminisce about the past for a moment as I sit on a toilet. As usual, the whole experience of dream pooping gets messy and out of control. And, as usual, the I notice how open I was in the room with toilets, but no stall wall. Basically, it's a large room with toilets setting out in the open. Kelly from work walks in and makes some comment about me just shitting right in the open. I tell her I had no choice, it's how they made the place. Then I run out of toilet paper and start wiping with torn magazine. Suddenly, I realize how dream like this all is and do a nose plug. I have to do several nose plugs, because I have a hard time believing its a dream. After a moment, accept this and move out the bathroom to explore some random hallways for a while.The dream fades and I wake up. I really need to start looking at TOTM or have some written goals. I was hoping for a better dream for my 500th.
#499 - DILD I forgot much of this dream but as some point I become aware that I am dreaming and take a car for a joyride. I got it going super fast and felt G-forces in my stomach as I hit hills. Like always I marvel how the mind can fill in physical effects straight from dream visual. The road fades and I wake up.
It was a warm summer day. With younger sister we were in some beautiful coastal city. Then suddenly we were in our house with with rest of family, we were sitting on a sofa in kitchen and talking about something. Suddenly we've heard sirens and everyone started to panic. Soldiers quickly approached our house and started a shootout. Planes were dropping bombs on my house and it's surroundings. Avoiding bullets, bombs and explosions I've ran into a doghouse, picking up some old pistol from second world war era. With dog we were sitting quietly. The dog looked at me and I saw that he somewhat smiled to me. I heard someone coming closer and pointed my gun, awaiting.
Bed @ 2315 Woke @ 0120 Assault preparations I'm watching preparations for a major assault. At times, it seems to be for a war game, while at others, it's for real. Some soldiers are speaking to a native. He's small, emaciated, and painted to make him look like a skeleton. Between the paint and emaciation, he pulls off the skeleton look pretty accurately. He's telling the soldiers about the dangers of the next island, and especially of the natives who live there. They're much smaller, look like young children, and are incredibly dangerous. The soldiers will need to deal with them quickly or suffer a lot of casualties themselves. I'm watching at base as some higher-ups are making their plans. They've had to wait a few more days to takes the islands than they'd planned on, but everything looks like it should line up for tomorrow, so they're preparing the offensive. BTB @ 0145 Woke @ 0600 Impossible phone number I'm out west, driving by myself, when a green car speeds by me. I give chase, not wanting to lose him, and call 911. I explain that I'm on such and such a road, following a dangerous car. I don't have authority to do it, so I expect I'll be getting a ticket, but I still feel that I'm doing my duty. Two police cars show up; one stays with me while the other chases after the green car (which is still somehow going very fast despite near-rush-hour conditions). I talk to the police officer for a minute, give him my name and number, and move on. It's all very cordial. Now I'm home, sitting at my computer. I've gotten a message from another officer, and I'm trying to call him back; but there's both a 10 and an 11 in his phone number, and I can't figure out how to dial it. I try couple of things, including dialing only a 1 instead of the 10 or the 11, as well as trying to dial the whole 12-digit-long number, but neither one connects. I ask someone sitting nearby if he's ever heard of having a ten in a phone number, and he hasn't. Now I'm somewhere else. I realize I still haven't gotten back with the police officer and that I'll probably get into trouble if it takes me much longer. I resolve to deal with it first thing when I get home. Now I'm going back to my car. A fire truck pulls into the parking lot, and I wonder if it's somehow related to me and my troubles. A heavyset fireman gets out and starts walking toward whatever I just came out of; nope, not here for me. Now I'm home again. I manage to call the first officer and leave a message explaining who I am and what's going on with the second officer. Finding a car stereo I'm driving, following Waze to get to a store which sells car stereo equipment. I'm almost there; but then I look at the map and see that it says that it'll be about another hour, and that the map is telling me to go back home the way I came. I don't understand what's going on. I look at it again and it's got an even longer estimate. I decide to ignore it for now and drive around where I am in hopes that I'll see a store that sells what I need. At first, I don't see anything except abandoned buildings; but eventually I run across a store that sells refurbished car parts. It doesn't say anything about audio, but I'm hopeful. Now I'm inside, browsing. I'm getting discouraged since there's nothing here about audio at all. A woman approaches and asks if I need help and I explain what I'm looking for. Now we're looking at something she's pulled off a shelf, which turns out to be a car radio. It's very oddly shaped - kind of triangular. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a CD player built in. I explain I'm looking for one with a CD player as well as bluetooth. I keep looking around and find small packets of what claim to be speaker drivers for about a dollar each; I wonder if I can use these to fix the staticy speakers in my car. Mannequin gel I'm looking at two female mannequins which are standing in a giant block of a weird gel: if it gets disturbed, waves of green move out from the disturbance point. I switch my consciousness into one of the mannequins and move just slightly; then I switch into the other one and turn its head way to the left. I try to switch back to my own body but just end up in the first mannequin again. After flipping back and forth a few more times, moving each body a little more, I'm back in my body; unfortunately, I've managed to move both mannequins so much that the subtle / careful patterns I'd hoped to create are obliterated and the whole thing is a mess of green everywhere. Industrial exploration I'm with other people walking through a dark, abandoned industrial setting. We hear what sound like indistinct voices. A couple of my companions go off hunting and come back saying they found some people down in a hole/room that was blocked off by a piece of equipment. The people who were rescued seem to be a bit out of it but are generally OK. A tunnel/huge pipe goes off to my right, but I think it was used for some kind of waste product and I don't want to go into it. Fragment: Something about weird goos and pipes, and a guy whose female doppelganger tells him how much better it is to be a girl.
+ living illustration: "Lemon Tree Mountain". I drew circles along the border of the circle in the upper right hand corner. The mountain was in the shape of a lemon tree. I had scratched "lemon tree" on the left side earlier, but it was hard to see since drawing on lemon doesn't show up strogly. Then I went back again to look at the writing and it was in brown now, as if oxidized and easier to read. + LUCIDD 219 LD#219 FA in a hotel bed (with best male friend [on a business trip?]) and I could see in the hallway that several of the paintings had been turned around the face the wall I had a brief sense of foreboding about this, but then like "ahh...." and did a slow, careful nose pinch being pretty much already lucid, yep, then got up (some brief resistance but got up easily), stood by the sliding glass door [DREAM SIGN] covered by curtains so couldn't see outside, I thought "should I go outside and do some night flying?" nope, wanted more TOTMs. I woke my friend up with a shock "HEY MR GET UP!" he shocked awake suddenly and comically shot out of bed rolling on the ground with that "moving faster than possible in WL" dream-y movement I walked around the room, came across another room with a TV playing inappropriate sexual themed activities for young people (did a double take when I saw it, lots of oral activities going on), and a pretentious sounding announcer saying something like "The James McFadden collection, for when [something pretentious, like "...quality is not enough"]". I walked back into the bedroom where M was on the floor and I walked by him, spanking his butt once and it felt solid. I wanted M to show me how to stick your head in the ground for the TOTM, but the dream fades and I RC and I'm awake. BTS near WILD, get to the "noise" twice + CH back yard, neighbors invade part way on to lawn, sand piled up to a high net in between the gardens, I'm shocked like "Wait, WHEN did they do that?!"" girls were sitting in the sand playing, and the mother was nude sunbathing to the left, I see her butt and keep peeking at her. I'm holding a tablet with a picture of a girl on it and my son comes up and I quickly clear the picture, but he saw it and misinterpreted it as a picture of the girls in the sand, he said "nah, they're not pretty enough, or I'd take a video of them", I think his misunderstanding and statement are funny +(f) [semi-lucid] ST (touching over clothes) with a hesitant girl +(f) tacqueria +(f) flexible guy, girl? criticizing him
- dream: This dream was a mess. Incredibly long and a lot of things happen. At first my girlfriend breaks with me. Then I'm busy saving another girl by a stalker; finally the girl was saved by someone else but I bring her with me on a hotel room and I have sex with her. Then I go to the room aside and discover that my girlfriend was there and could here everything, and she was very sad. I tell her that I want her back and this thing makes the other girl very sad. At the end I stay with the new girl but desire my girlfriend back. This in extreme synthesis. It was never ending and it includes me going in places, doing actions and talking with people... Thing in common with the best dream: - dream: I have to take a flight to the Netherlands, and I'm in Italy. I'm at the church and two guys push me out of the church in secret to ask me to join a body building competition, which I decline. I come back to the church to finish the mass and in the meanwhile I tell this to a friend. Then I go to a large gathering to take advantage of the catering service. Then I start to complain with my father that I want a proper lunch before to take the flight. Then I play football. Then I'm at the highschool where I'm the only student who understands the lesson and the professor asks me to help another student. Then my girlfriend comes in the lab complaining that I'm very late to take the flight, which I reply that I have an assignment and that I can take flight later... Meh?
Strange dreams all night planning out the video I had to make today.The footage was from the government, and I was reliving all the shoots, all the processes. The dreams were of such an impatient nature that I'm now awake at 5:30 just to get a head start on this and be done with it.
This was 2 days ago. I'm walking on a street doing something, and orange kitten starts to form on the ground. I look at it and say "I thought we said no more cats in my dreams". Haha, this is amazing! I did decide that I don't want cats in my dreams a while ago, because I always feel sorry for them or I'm worried that they get lost or hurt or hungry or something. I really don't like those dreams. So for my decision to come out like this in my non lucid is just amazing. Makes me believe that intent indeed is extremely powerful tool and all we have to do is use it and know that it works. Thank you, pardner : ) Please come again!
Only remember one from last night and I am surprised I even slept long enough to have any kind of a dream but I was riding a Harley Sportster (which I don't have so obviously a dream) and concentrating on shifting since this is something I would like to learn again. I have my license and have been thinking about getting one but it has been years since I rode. It felt pretty natural but I was a little worried about doing so much and contemplating getting three wheels instead since I am getting older. Just riding down the road when I see a line of motorcycles coming in the opposite direction. They are all on the sidewalk hahahaha. Must be my lack of sleep. Anyway I decide to have some fun and see if I can levitate the motorcycle so I imagine myself flying with it and I can feel it coming off the ground. I do a u turn flip and go back in the other direction to find the motorcycles on the sidewalk. They are no where in sight. I land on top of the roof near a water park. The thought crossed my mind that I could ride the Harley down that big slide. Then I remember the challenge but I am not on the ground, I look up and poof I am on the ground. I get off the bike and the kickstand wasn't all the way down and the bike falls over. Hmmm...maybe that means I need three wheels. I feel like an idiot and hope noone is watching me and totally forgot about the head through the ground at that point.
My kitten was playing by a cliff which was also part of a house. Like an out door area. Then all of a sudden I see a huge crocodile's head not moving and then I assume the crocodile comes up the cliff and eats my kitten. Then I see a guy and maybe one or two other people down below. The guy gets up and I think I'm invited to a house and there are people in it. The dream stops there and I hear people from the show friends because friends is what is on television.

I vaguely recall slipping back into sleep while trying to recall another dream, and dreamed that I was back home with my parents. I realized that I am dreaming, but I woke up.
I’m in my house, it's night, I watch by the window and I see three men who enter the garden and try to break in the house, I get scare and I realize it’s a just dream and wake up lying on a bed in another room, I push my bed back and start running in the house and shout by asking a question but the dream starts to fade and I start running in the dark but I still can feel the wall. I re-appear lying on the bed in the other room, my laptop is infront of me and turn on. My webcam is turn on but not facing me and I can see the room on the screen but I get scare that a face will pop up on the screen. Then a big cat appears and starts to meow. At the end I start feeling my real body on the bed and I woke up.

06-Nov-2016 - 2 ND + 2 LD - Various, not much interesting stuff ND#1 - I need a password to animate some small robots ND#2 - A girl in a bathtub is texting her female friend some light insults through her smartphone (inspired by an installation seen yesterday at AIoC) LD#1 - Fly out of Phyllis tower (WILD) I am at SkyDeck, the glass below me opens, and I fall down. I try picturing this like it is not a dream, try feeling what would be like happening for real. While falling I wonder if this could be a dream and just start flying far away from the tower, above Chicago. LD#2 - The crawling girl (WILD) I am at the first room I visited at AIoC. The glass door opens and I see a face close to the floor, it's a mildly ugly girl with short black hair. She crawls in using her thing arms. I also see her body is snake-like, twisted and contorted. I cannot give a follow-up to this dream.
