I have fallen back asleep and find myself inside a brown classic room. I thought it be cool to see super man and he appeared. I observe the poorly design super man but thought it was still cool that the dream spawn him right away. I told myself I knew this wasn't a high level lucid dream as it kept getting blurrly and my awareness was feeling faint. I wanted to next spawn wonder woman but decided I'd rather just wake up as I knew I needed to wake up early today to get food.

High-rise hotel
I'm in a high-rise hotel room, wearing my bath robe, moving around quietly so I don't wake my wife. Something strikes me as "off" and I realize I'm dreaming. I look around, marveling at how good everything looks. I remember I'd intended to rub my hands together to stabilize, but I decide to just run my hand along the wall instead. I remind myself that this is a dream and that everything I see and touch is a creation of my own mind (but it doesn't really affect me). My wife gets up, and I worry that means that my real-world wife is going to wake me up. I try to about how to use the dream, but my wife is telling me about some problems she's had with our email lists, and I don't want to ignore her in case I'm wrong about this being a dream. I half-heartedly answer her while trying to think how I can prove to myself whether this is a dream or not (doing a nose-pinch never even crosses my mind). Eventually, I decide that, yes, this really is a dream, and I need to get to it.

As I'm trying to decide how to use the dream, I remember that the current task of the month is to find a buffet. I picture a table full of food in a hallway, open the door, and go out. I do end up in a hallway, but there's no food. The hallway dead-ends to my right at another picture window, so I follow it around a corner to my left. I see an open doorway to my left and a stairwell (going down) to my right. I marvel that this place looks exactly like it does in real life (which it doesn't - this place doesn't exist). I look through the doorway and find only a small room. Turning around, I see that there's now a plastic card table (white) set up between a new doorway and the stair railing. Some of my kids are arranging bags of candy on it. It's not quite the buffet I'd been planning on, but it's still a table full of food, so I think it's close enough. I remember I'd had an additional goal of eating something, so I walk over to see what's there. I see some large bags of peanut butter M&Ms, but they're not open yet, and I don't want to open them myself. To their left is a large bag of small assorted candies, and it's already open. I reach in and pull out what I believe to be a small Snickers. My eldest daughter laughs at me for my choice and makes a comment. I rip it open and am surprised that it has a small heart covered in red foil. I'm amused - even though it's Christmas time, the table is full of Halloween candy, and now I have a Valentines chocolate? Somehow I know it's dark chocolate, so I don't mind the weirdness. As I'm unwrapping it, I wake up (for real).

I dream I was taking a spiritual class and was lined up in a room with a load of other people. The whole place was all white tiles and glass. There was the light from the water thrown onto the walls, illuminated.
The teacher was a lady in a long brown dress with hair pulled back.
Our first class we would have submerge ourselves beneath the water. I was determined to do well.

Morning of December 20, 2016. Tuesday.



I am at our present address on W Street near the west side of our house on the public footpath. It seems to be morning. There had been signs of a light rain. I notice that the Wicked Witch of the East must have been in a storm (though not in our area, at least with any perceived backstory) and blown our way in that the NBN cabinet near our house had fallen upon her (which is not logical, as the NBN cabinet is set upon concrete and shows no signs of having been removed or damaged). I know this is true because her ruby slippers have been sticking out from under the cabinet for probably a day or two. They stick out from the right side of the NBN cabinet.

It may be important to inform people of this. I look more closely and bravely feel the supposed ruby slippers, which are actually more like red fishing boots. They are of a floppy rubbery material. Perhaps the remains are not actually present.

This dream presents failed flight waking symbolism, one of my most common forms of waking symbolism since early childhood, which is unrelated to waking life, and as such, does not imply any negative connotations. It establishes a form of “return flight” as related to the hypnopompic stage (which is rendered as such in over twenty percent of my dreams or 1 in 5 in tens of thousands), which sometimes induces a falling sensation (which is biological and unrelated to waking life). It is unreasonable to assume real life associations with such precursory symbolism relative to hypnopompia.

In this case, the position of the implied body (though the body itself is not seen or touched) is in a sleeping position, a real-time dream state indicator. Once again, the waking symbolism is oriented on the right.

The detail of the red fishing boots establishes three well-known dream state indicators simultaneously, red as a known presence of waking priority (especially in dreams which become completely red, which means I have been sleeping too long), boots that are not being worn (as one does not wear shoes when in bed), and residual water induction remnant (in being fishing boots or waders).

Additionally, there is the implication of the NBN cabinet representing technology, communication, and intelligence as symbolizing the conscious self over the fictional dream self or the remnants of the ephemeral dream self at the waking point.

Additionally, it is unreasonable in this case to assume the “witch” is related to waking life by specifics, for three main reasons. One, the “witch” herself does not even appear in this dream. Two, the “witch” is a fictional character from the “Wizard of Oz”, and my association validates this entire dream as primarily a real-time dream state indicator. Remember that “The Wizard of Oz” is about someone being knocked unconscious and having a dream. Three, it is fantasy, and fantasy symbolism is based on creativity, not life-relevant symbolism.

Morning of December 20, 2016. Tuesday.



Zsuzsanna and I are “sleeping” in a tent (in the same orientation as in reality; her on my left) in what is apparently an unfamiliar urban park (though with a vague association with the field that used to be across the street from our present home) early in the morning around sunrise. I become wary of the gaps at the bottoms of the sides of the tent (mostly to my right, near my head) in their offering of less privacy. It is also windy at times. In the final scene, the tent is actually hovering above the ground and directly above us, the bottoms of the sides probably about four feet above the ground. I think a few ropes are still holding it in place. My clueless non-lucid dream self is not standing at any point.

This is typical RAS (reticular activating system) intrusive waking symbolism, though sustained and with no hypnopompic physical event.

---

Key concepts: Zsuzsanna and I sleeping in correct orientation as first level dream state indicator, dream state indicator of indirect association with floating or flying as dictated by natural inner ear dynamics, outdoor area previously a field and now a parking lot in real life as liminal space transition, sustained RAS factor, no personified preconscious, no direct preconscious factor, non-lucid and sustained non-cooperative emergent consciousness, interpretable as waking symbolism only.

This dream was extremely long and complicated. Like a feature film.

The gist of it however was that I went back to high school. It was a school for kids who would become elite professionals in sports or law or anything. There were some pretty girls but mostly the atmosphere was of little partying and lots of hard work. Eventually we ended up at a waterfall that was full of deadly reef plants. Everyone had to devise a way to swim through. I flew over.

Your DILDs are more interesting than your WILDS because you are letting your mind work its magic instead of trying to micromanage everything. Met Naomi again. It was awesome but I now seek to have a full conversation with her.

1. I only got a couple of hours of sleep but I managed to have one that I awoke literally giggling out loud.
I was walking in to work and coming in through the door carrying a lot of stuff for the Christmas party when I saw a bunch of guys gathered around talking and I walked past them when one of them said something smart ass as usual and I put up my little fists and said watch it or I am gonna kick your ass lol, pretty typical of me to joke like that, but he said ooooooooh scary so I walked over to him and he picks me up off the ground and I think....hmmm let's make this good, so I grab under his arms and do a backwards flip and he goes flying up in the air and I catch him like a baby and all of the guys looked shocked. I laughed sooooo hard I woke up and my husband asked me what was so funny lol. Doesn't sound funny but the looks on their faces was priceless.

I have been lucid much of the night, but at some time I am surrounded by the group of Dream Guides that have been a new thing this year. On tells me that it is time for some next level stuff, but that it is intense and not to be afraid. He lead me into a chamber that looks to me kind of like a science building with scaffolding and cat walks and some giant machine on the lowest floor. I can not imagine what is next and am nervous. He takes me to the bottom near the machine(?) and am alien looking entity is there. She does not look like the greys in modern ufo stuff, but enough that way to give an idea. She tells me that I have gone about as far as I can in my understanding of these realms and my own dream work. It is time for them to change me into something that can see more (rough translation). I am instructed to put my forehead down on a ledge that may be part of the machine (we are right next to it, or a bank of desks? I am leary (of course) bare in mind that to me this is 100% real. I know I am dreaming, but am convinced I am in another dimension where I have slowly worked my way forward over almost 30 years. So, yes, this is more scary than jumping off an illusory cliff. I ask, "what should I expect?" She answers, "The closest thought in your mind that seems right is Electro Shock Therapy"
Well, that did not really calm me, but I do want to move forward. I know IWL that kind of therapy can be useful. I ask if the intensity of the thing will not just shock me awake? I am given the thought that if I can not hold on then I am not ready, how good are you? I place my head into some kind of cradle. A few seconds later I experience something hard to explain. It did not cause convulsions of the body. In fact, the body was no longer there. My ego or sense of self was not present either. Everything was patterns like lightning in red forming a galaxy of patterns. Suddenly I am back in the building with my head down. It happens again with blue, I come out into the lab and it happens again with gold. I am done. I lift my head and black out.

Long long ago I learned that the streams in these astral realms where something mysterious and special that my mind was translating into water. Through the decades this special phenomena has evolved into understandings that do not translate. Basically the ether is flowing in patterns and the only habitable places are in the eddies where there is some stability. In side these areas the ether mu"t be managed to ? It is hard to understand and beyond me to explain. I know that to move from one realm to another is almost like sailing on these streams. ??? Sorry I can not explain.

DGs took me out to rescue someone caught in some very high volume flow. My mind was filling in detail in ways I could understand. For me to translate these strange things that are beyond understanding, my mind must guess from things I do understand to fill in details. This took the form of a chaotic wild river full of tree limbs and a man was trapped under limbs. I could also see the backs of monsters kind of like crocodiles. We fished him out and then they took me on a sight seeing ride. Now here is the weird thing. As of yet I have never seen anything like a vehicle that can navigate the "waters" but clearly there must have been a force underneath us that allows travel. I look down and see nothing but the river.

We return to what seems like a recreational place. This area has the water flowing through it but it is more of a lake with almost no currents. They show me the most basic steps of making these vehicles. It is some pattern of energy around the feet shaped somewhat like a snowboard, but I can not see it. I just see the displaced water and am held aloft on the water. They take me to practice where the water is leaving the area. This is exciting kind of like boogie boarding, but I quickly get taken down in the water and can feel myselff being taken somewhere "other", but they helped me back up and we kept fooling around in the calm water.

No recall. Been up for almost 2 days straight trying to work on backing up our iphones & making a million new accounts & passwords. I hope I sleep in late tomorrow. My new phone still has no service cuz we are waiting for the transfer of my existing number. I do not want a new number. I'm sure others can relate to the stress of buying new iphones.

I find myself swimming underwater and see a light as if it is the surface. I swim to it and crawl out. I have basically fallen into a house through a sliding glass door. I look back and the doorway is covered with water as if I am looking out a porthole. I see someone swimming out there and also see a very huge shark like thing following him. He looks as if he can not find the opening. I reach in and pull him out. We are both in the room now. I look back into the water. Strange creatures, all very ugly and terrible have gathered and are starring back at me. This reminds me of a time when astral entities showed me a boundary to a dark world of ghost like beings.

This is a few weeks old. I was deep into an epic length lucid when it got extra intense. I started to loose stability and could feel my body. I relaxed and tried to hold on. I started to flash back and forth between lucid dream and nREM half sleep hypnogogic stuff. As I started to shift the phase back to REM and firmly re-enter the dream world someone was holding my head under a shower of cold water. I enter fully into the dream and am surrounded by a crowd in my mom's old house. Someone pulls me out from under the shower and announces that I am finally conscious. This is like a false awakening except that I am not fooled. It is a party at my mom's old house and supposedly I passed out. I explain to my mom DC that in fact this is a dream I am having. She starts ranting about how she knew that lucid dreaming stuff was dangerous and that I could no longer tell real life from a dream. Everyone seems concerned. I walk outside and it is a very pleasant fall day. I notice my father (deceased) is by my side. I focus on him and give him a long hug. This feels real and like I am actually hugging my departed dad.
I take his hand and suggest we walk. There is some time dilation and it appears that we walked along the familiar roads of that neighborhood for about a mile. It was beautiful and very fulfilling. It takes about 15 minutes to walk that far, but actual dream time was perhaps 3 minutes, still it felt real. I get to the place where a smaller canal branches off from the big one. However the small one is going off in the wrong direction. I look around and dad is gone. I levitate out over the canal and dip my feet into it. It looks awesome starring down into the water, so vivid and layered. I start drifting down the stream. I now see objects floating past on the surface, There are tea cups on saucers, feathers and various random items. It reminds me of Alice in Wonderland. I reach down and touch an object. I decide to see how long I can stay focused while drifting along this wonderful sceen. I count out loud each item that floats by as I touch them. I got to 41 when I am suddenly standing near a convenience store. I see a group of about 7 people gesturing to me.
They seem to be astral entities as opposed to DCs. I go to them and one of them point blank says, "We are real. We were at your wedding. Come with us." Suddenly there is a cliff next to us dropping off about 50' into a river. The graphics are out of this world! OMG this is in total HD! The entities one by one jump off and into the water below. I am intimated because the experience is so graphic and it seems too high to jump. I decide I will do it and jump off the cliff. I plunge into cool water and it is realistic. We body float down a canyon until they are all getting out on the other side and pull me up too. There is a cave going into the cliff side.
They lead me up into a tunnel that is fairly dark and looks like the passages you might see in Egyptian tombs. There are symbols and hieroglyphs on the wall. We are coming up to a room lit by torch light. We walk around the corner and I am overwhelmed. A shrine like room is full of about a dozen more people. One of the people is about 9' tall and appears to be made of gold. It looks like a four armed Hindu deity. The crazy thing is that I am overwhelmed by a force that is impossible to describe. I feel power radiating off of this being and, I repeat, I am overwhelmed. I am fully lucid and rational AND at that point felt 100% sure this was a real being of god-like power. I fell to my knees and prostrated my self. I have almost lost all control of myself like a deer in the head lights. The god-like being approaches me and stands near me. Maybe I should have looked up and tried to interact. Maybe I could have met eyes with this being and learned amazing things, but I was in awe and completely unable to even look upon this power. It extended its foot and touched my shoulder with its toes. This had a feeling of a blessing like when a priest touches someone's forehead to bless them. I basically black out at this point.

Flush
I'm in my room. I've been to the toilet, but it hasn't flushed properly. I can still see some floating around. I try to flush again, but the water starts appearing from unexpected places. It starts to appear from the shower next to the toilet as well. Eventually I manage to make it stop appearing from the shower by turning the shower's lever.

Roomswap
I'm in my room, in my bed, together with Irt. It's still morning. I hear a knock on the door. I'm not sure anymore if she announced herself, but it is the girl that everyone hates. I tell Irt to be quiet. The curtains are closed, so we can just pretend not to be here. I don't wanna hang out with this girl. A bit later there is a guy standing in front of my door. It's someone who is ok. Irt goes over to open the curtain and have a talk. No! The girl went to the room just next to mine, so she'll definitely notice that we are here. Close the curtain! I decide to camp out behind a clothing rack [which in reality I don't have]. I don't feel like I'm doing a very good job at hiding, but ah well, better than nothing.

Suddenly a girl I don't know storms into my room, walks past me, takes a hanger with clothes from a nail in the wall and storms out again. What the hell? I assume these are her clothes so she has every right to take them, but manners?! This is my room and we don't even know each other. I go up to this girl, who is together with another girl, to teach her some. The message doesn't set in at all though. I explain how rude it is to just burst into my room like that if we don't know each other and then to completely ignore me. I try to reenact it to demonstrate how rude it is, but it still doesn't set in. Eventually I take the girls clothes back and tell her she can have them back if she demonstrates some proper manners (which is never).

When I try to go back to my room, the layout has changed. I walk into the right room, only to find it much different from what I expected. My stuff is nowhere to be found. I walk out and look at the sign above the door. Yep, this is my room number. What the hell? Apparently someone decided to switch rooms with me without asking. No! I don't want to switch rooms again, especially considering that I'm almost leaving. My friend Fif is being chilled about it and says something along the lines of "I think it's best if you go back to Europe". The hell? I feel unwanted now.

Somewhere along the dream I become violent towards the rude girl. Stomping on her head violent. There is absolutely no effect though.
