15/2/16:
Dream 1: I was at high school in one of the science rooms. We were all paired up doing experiments of some kind with the teacher guiding us. I can't remember any more specific details.

Dream 2: I was at my primary school except the people there were from my high school. It was lunchtime and we all congregated near where the canteen was. There turned out to be a Pantera concert going on, so I jumped right into the crows and started headbanging with the rest of them. The current song finished and they started playing walk, and I think I jumped up on stage and stuff, idk it was pretty wild.

Dream 3: I was on a plane with my family, not sure where I was travelling to. I had a seat next to my brother with my dad sitting a few rows away. We were sitting next to some strange people, then the food cart came around and we were arguing about what was free an what cost money. I think I got a muffin and my brother got some chocolate shake thing. My dad then called for us and asked if we had a bag with us. We did and it allayed his concerns, but he was still acting a bit weird.

Dream 4: There were a group of people breaking into a university building. They descended down from a helicopter and took positions covering all of these security measures like cameras and pressure plates so they wouldn't be found.

Dream 5: My brother and I had a tour of the university we will be going to. We got shown around a bit, I remember it was quite high tech with a black and red colour scheme and lights. The tour ended and we were left on our own, so we tried to find somewhere to play something. We headed out the back and ended up on a basketball court where three people were playing. They were all dressed like in the 1960's and they approached us and asked us what we were doing. They looked at us like we were freaks or something and then tried to bully us around. Somehow I had developed super powers though, so when one of them went to push me I crouched down and then sprung up, flinging him 20 metres back into the dirt. The others blanched at that and ran away.

Only 3 recorded dreams since last time + 1 when I fell for the old “I'll remember a tag and write it later” trick. (I didn't remember it...doh!) But, I have bigger fish to fry at the moment.

I'm caught up in this “meditation/falling asleep and finding the sweet spot” experiment of mine. I drift and wisps of thought go through my mind and that's when I usually try my luck. I don't know where I'm going with this, but I think that it must be progress in something, simply because I'm doing (and seeing) things that I've not done before.

Two days ago I hit the sweet spot and thought one of my usual prompts (It was “box” – sometimes it's “house”) I expected a schema of a house but my brain seems to have decided to interpret it as my bedroom...well, it was in essence, but the orientation was wrong and it was bigger and I seemed to be looking down on it.

Fortunately, I'm well-conditioned to keep my eyes shut when I wake/hit near-sleep. I could hear my music, and felt the pressure of one foot on the other, so I was basically awake. On my little bedroom table were 3 knitted Father Christmases (what?? you may ask yourself) My departed mother knitted those as table decorations and they've been packed away for weeks. (but my sentimental minions apparently decided to add them to this little vignette.) Like my LD's it probably upped my heart rate a tad and it faded after aprox 30 seconds. That was the only result of aprox 40 minutes of M/FA

Today, I must have hit the sweet spot after about 10 minutes. I remember a wisp of thought (something about “Ron and a spaceship”) and I thought “house” Up came a screen (for want of a better word) with what looked vaguely like “The Martian.” It's a film I've seen and liked, but where's the house? And who's Ron?

The next bit is somewhat hard to explain. It looked like the images were HD but they weren't very clear?! Maybe a man in a spacesuit, maybe a robot, maybe it was just vivid and I thought it was HD. It wasn't a video, just still images that moved from place to place, maybe against a desert background. No big deal then. But, I was able to retain this image for nearly 5 minutes...and that's a first. Considering, a few weeks ago I got zilch I claim it to be a move in the right direction...so far.

Dream - short lucid
It's night time and I'm outside of a house by a road. I look at my hands randomly and just become lucid, I test this by pushing my finger into my palm which stretches, I do this a couple times for no real reason. I look around and notice how beautiful the sky looks, the dream is really vivid and stable. There's so many stars shining really brilliantly and everything is quite crisp in detail. I try to think of a dream goal but realize I haven't actually set one down, I fight the urge to summon my ex because I don't want to enter cave-man mode. The dream loses quality and stability quite quickly and I find myself awake in bed. I think the dream was only 10-20 seconds long.

I tried thinking of what dream goal I should try next, I think I may approach the dream goal of conversing with a dream character since that is a biggie in my book. I want to see how aware they are of me when I'm aware of them, or hear what random nonsense they might spout .

I was with some actors and one of the actors was driving some other actors and i just entered his violet car with no reason. But he was driving so slow and i said to my self "Man, i wish i could drive this car." Then i remembered a video i saw about LDs and the video maker said that he was driving a car but the dream went unstable and blah blah. So that reminded me of LDs and i said "Oh, it's a dream. I don't even know where i am at or what i'm doing with the actors" And rubbed my hands together, touched trees, even though it was in the middle of the street, and the car was gone. Then i said to my dream "Show me something hilarious!" Then, a giant, eagle-like bird came out the horizon and flew just above me. It wasn't hilarious but really awesome :O Then i woke up. O_O

fuzzy part: there was a box that was evil, I knew it was evil by nature of how it made me feel when I neared it. It was attracting something in a large herd and they were mindlessly following it.

Clearer part: I was running down the street of a city that was deserted and grey, I heard the music of the box again and it was plaid and colorful and evil, all of the sudden B-12 flying fortresses were coming down to earth and shrinking as they came. by the time they hit the ground they were just the size of a small drone and they were headed on wheels to the evil box. It reminds me of the monkeys in Zombies of COD

Bed @ 2300
Woke @ 0030 with insomnia. I stayed in bed ~45 minutes, got up, drank hot milk, listened to a book, got back to bed at 0150. At 0230 I got up, took some melatonin, took a shower, and got back to bed at 0300.
Woke @ 0710. Total sleep: ~5.5 hours


Salads and news stories
I'm in a kitchen listening to the radio while preparing some salad. On the radio, the Russian president is announcing that after working closely with <John Doe> whose name I recognize in-dream as being my old coworker, he's announcing a preliminary treaty with the US. Our countries will be jointly working to acquire <some resource>. Together, we should be able to surpass Britain as the #1 producer of <the resource>. Unlike past ventures, we'll truly be working as one team, not just two teams working on the same project with the same goal.

As he's talking, I'm working on my salad. I've got a bunch of washed, cut up lettuce, but I'm having trouble getting the water off of it. Something is wrong with the salad spinner. In the end, I grab a clean sink strainer, put it in the bottom of my salad bowl, and put the lettuce on top of it. I figure the water should pool in the bottom of the bowl, and I can drain it later before serving it.

I hear another news story about former operatives who are trying to enter private life after being disabled in the field. A woman named Jennifer has become a professional cellist after losing half of her hearing. I'm surprised that someone with bad hearing can be a musician now; I guess she must have had exceptional hearing to start with.


Dark mansion
Some people in a game? are wandering through a dark mansion. The room they're currently in is square with a spiral staircase going up around the walls. A square hole takes up most of the floor. From my perspective, all I can see through the hole is blackness. The people in the room are careful to stay well away from the hole as they walk towards the bottom of the staircase.

Now my character is on a platform outside the mansion - it seems to have become a 2D platformer. I jump up and start to tunnel upwards through some blocks, but an enemy comes shooting out of the woodwork to my left and damages me. At first, I'm not concerned - I can lose a bit of health - but then more and more keep coming out as I'm climbing and I become seriously concerned about the loss of health.

I thought in my dream i was shot at by a pastor. The story plot was about music too. I also saw a friend who i dont see very much anymore in the dream too. I must of survived the shooting cause i think there was more to the dream. In a past dream when i got attacked somehow, i was paralyzed.

+ [EPIC!] "Sand Castle" farm

standing in fields, looking in to the main building, I choose 2nd floor office with great view of the fields as my office.

officers come by, they run off to catch a deer, they identify its breed

walk into office, odd lock on door, ceiling falling in sharp heavy glass everywhere, very dangerous almost trapped and cut to shreds. Boy this place needs work, extremely shabby. We spent over $300,000 on this place.

wake up in bed, my body is covered with red spots like mosquito bites. This place is infested obviously.

The place is called Sand Castle by the locals in a derogatory way, because the soil is poor and sandy. If it was put on the market, it would get no offers for months. We won't get our money back.

we become a couple's destination retreat for gay black men speed-walking marathoners. There's a competition held, it involves a huge slide on the course and someone must judge, I jump down this slide and end up by the pool. see couples walking, tents all around the place. This is how we're going to save the farm, and I tell somebody about this.

pool: I see fish in the clear water [DREAM SIGN!], an owl dives in to pick up and eat a dead pigeon lying on the right side of the pool. There's a salt-water flatfish (like a sole) on the bottom, who put that there? There are other fish around. My work manager set up a low sun-blocking shade on the left back corner of the pool area.

go investigate the land, craggy and rocky, tall excavated almost-cave. Inside smaller cave, there is an ancient line marking the passage of the sun. pick up the fence, looks better now. I find the spoon from my boy scout fork/spoon/knife kit, but a small boy wants it and takes it.

the passport inspectors come and my sister and brother in law watch how the immigration officers in this country check out my passport and residency document
-------
wake, amazed at this long vivid epic dream. recall it for a while. eventually gather the will to apply my "fall asleep fast" approach. more dreams follow

+ mini-car
There is a small red sports car, a man is driving it. He is a jerk, he's knocking people out of his way on the path, he's zipping around twisting mountainous paths. On the back of the car are the words written "range; 10 minutes on a charge." I think that's a pretty useless electric range and say so, have a discussion about how this could be used: maybe it'll help you reach the gas station if you're out of gas, or maybe if you take this little car with you on a road trip on a tailer (it's really small, so that's quite possible), it's enough of a charge to get you to a store and back. It's practically the size of a child's push-pedal car.

+ garden bees
Down on the steps leading to my childhood home's back yard, I see that there are about 6 large circular planters arranged on the left side of the garden by the fish pond. I'm looking at them and I see that they're messing up the grass. I'm walking among them, and I think that they've been put over the place where I had planted mint [false] last year, I can't find the mind, there are some leafy plants growing, though. I should have put stakes where I planted the mint so I'd know where to look. I'm lying now on the grass with my head towards the right end of the yard, looking at the various flowering bushes growing on the left edge. One bush has a few grapes growing on it, "good, I could eat those before they're gone" I think. There are bees buzzing all around the flowery bush with the grapes. Some of them are on my shirt, a few on my stomach and a few on my chest. I brush them away but am concerned that they'll get aggressive. One of them flies into my ear and starts buzzing like crazy and I start shaking my head like crazy to get it out and I wake up.

+ waffle wrap
I'm with my wife outside on a sidewalk doing something. I "remember" [false] inside there are tasty marzipan cakes available at a counter. I go inside and ask the girl at the counter but there are no more left. There is a man at the counter perpendicular to hers who starts offering me things. I have trouble understanding him perfectly, he's speaking a foreign language. He switches to English, and this surprises me [missed it!]. My wife is offended at his speaking English and leaves me on my own. I wonder how I'll get the order right myself. One of the things he offers is a waffle wrap with syrup, and sun-dried tomatoes on the inside. I decide I might as well get this.

+ boy with the hair, deja vu
I'm in some public place and spot a boy I recognize. He has blonde and multi-colored dyed hair. He tells me about the situation he witnessed with me and some friends before, where one guy behaved very badly. I "remember" the scenario [false, probably]. Something with my wife correcting my pronunciation.

+ LD#174 Tsunami / call another planet ToTM Feb 2016 Advanced (i)
In my childhood home, looking out at the view of the bay below. The water is in very close. All of a sudden, the water pulls far back very quickly. I recognize this as the sign of an approaching tsunami. I go running around the house screaming for my family to all get out immediately, stop what you're doing and run out and let's drive away! I'm running around and go up to the 2nd floor, into my old bedroom and look out the window. The scene is quiet and tranquil, the city lights are flickering in the distance and everything looks normal. Hmm. Is everything OK now, or is the tsunami still coming? I decide to fly out to sea and check if I can see a tsunami coming.

I wonder if I'll be able to fly. I'll try to fly out the window to make sure. Maybe I'll just fall flat on my face. But if I can fly, I'll be dreaming. I feel entirely awake but am open to the possibility that I can fly [DREAM SIGN]. I take a few steps back and do a quick running take-off. Am I going to fall on my face? No, I'm floating towards the window now, slowly. I pull myself through the blinds and continue flying, slowly, I do a "superman with a go-pro" first-thrust to gain speed.

I realize I'm dreaming, and I can do anything. There are people floating in the sky with me. I do a quick "B.E. S.T.R.O.N.G." just-got-lucid ritual, really rushing and missing most, remembering goals. Remember ToTM and call another planet, I decide to do this one.

I decide I will summon my phone by doing by feel-only all the same gestures I perform in waking life: I reach down with my hands and lift up the flap of the pocket in my waist bag where I keep my phone. I pull the zipper open. I reach in with my thumb and forefinger expecting to feel the side of my phone, and I do! It feels completely like how it feels when I take out my phone when awake. I bring it up before my face and tap/push the button on it. Beforehand I decided I'd use an imaginary "voice activated calling" feature to avoid troubles with dream-dialing. "Call to another planet!" Just a ring or two and then an answer. I say "Hello! Please tell me your name and the name of your planet!". I hear the guy's voice clearly. Sounds like a young man, early 20's, with a wise-ass sarcastic tone. I understand him perfectly, he's speaking clear English. The planet was named (memory not perfect here) "Abbu Wabbe" or "Arab World", and his name was "Defeated Terrorist." He apparently really hated Arabs. At this point I was flying over the bridge and looked down and said "well, I bet there were Arabs on the bridge when the tsunami hit it, you're probably happy about that?" I then saw a replay of the tsunami hitting the bridge, it was just tall enough to hit the roadway, I thought it would be taller. It really smacked in hard and knocked everything/everybody off. I wanted to confirm the planet name and the guy's name, so I called back again using voice activation. I say "Hey, it's me again. Did you say your name was Defeated Terrorist of Defeater of Terrorists?" Another guy says "Oh, sorry, he went to lunch."
At this point I'm probably losing lucidity, and see the remains of a nice-looking lunch of some acquaintences seated at the table next to me, some young boys who say "I hope he calls again." I pick up a single small bit of bacon from his plate and eat it, it's delicious...and wake up

rough notes for now, wanted to get them down before I forgot them.

bridge, PaJe and drunken wife, in car at top of Mar. with Gal. driving car gets in accident, group says luckily nobody got hurt

bus to work

visit friends house large house open fields, fawcet, offer work, decline, give lunch, it's a watery bowl of "soup" with one tiny piece of rubbery liverwurst,
go to restaurant "why? because you gave me a bowl of water"
walk through several Mexican places, think "I've had enough of this, I should get pad thai"
but go into another mexican place with chili and order some

driving somewhere it all goes dark, look back behind me for the entrance, confused, how did I get here, I feel myself pulled into the side of the darkness
wake in bed with two girls: SB, and another one. Get up, open the doors to the next room, 3 kittens run in and hop on the bed, one jumps up at least 1 meter in the air with splayed legs and plops on the bed, I must have been feeling cats in the bed in that dark place earlier.
SB asks me about work again, I say I can only contribute on weekends, she gets upset and says that's not good enough, she may have to hire "Luke".
outside, SB and I have made love (details forgotten), I see 2nd girl walking suggestively on her hands and knees away from me in a skin-tight leotard looking amazingly hot, especially her a$$. I follow her and we're then lying on the sand naked and I'm getting a BJ from her and I move to get into a 69 and the scene transitions?
Now I have both girls smitten with me, this will be trouble. I see 2nd girl again, she is holding a bottle of wine and smiling at me, saying "This is for later." What shall I say? I don't want to hurt her, so I say "that's great!" I see SB watching us through an opening in the wall.
SB is mad, we're moving to sit down on a bench outdoors, I lean forwards and look back at the bench I'm about to sit on through my legs, and I see up SB's skirt while she sits down. I sit down and put my arm around her.
Back in SB's bedroom, we're getting up from bed and I tell her "you should go ahead and just hire Luke." We're throwing the blankets back on the bed. She has a buddhist shrine across from her bed. I display my "yoga sklils" and am trying to do some odd position which is like a half-handstand with my head down, hands on floor, arms bend 90 degrees at elbow, and I'm trying to place my knees on top of my arms (the part which is horizontal to the floor). I'm looking for a good spot to do this, I see a corner on the wall but I don't want to fall into the wall. The floor is carpeted.

First dream

I was in my house. I looked through the window - it was a dark, cloudy day. I felt that there was some kind of danger coming, and realized that there is a zombie outbreak. I wandered around the house, alerting my family that they should prepare. We made barricades and stored all supplies we had. There were too many of them however, so we had to escape. We used a small window in the basement to escape and ran to a carpentry workshop of my father. Zombie didn't tried to enter it, they were busy with other survivors that came to our house looking for help. I watched a slim blonde woman escaping from them. She climbed up the rooftop and practiced acrobatic skills to escape.

Second dream, WILD

I was in my uncle's house. It was an unfinished building, with only parts of upper floor hospitable. I spent a night there. It was a bit cold, and the toilet wasn't done yet, so we had to make it inside a bucket. I fell asleep.

I woke up in that house again. I realized that it's a dream. I felt refreshed, full of energy. I have thought what to do, and decided that I should see the house finished. I turned around thinking about a mansion, and the building was mostly finished. There were only some small rooms unfinished. The building was furnished with expensive furniture made of black oak wood, there were several paintings on the walls and in overall it looked like it belonged to someone really rich. I thought that I should summon someone, just for the sake of summoning. I was teleported to a huge cottage with two really long tables. The room was lit by candles, this gave it a moody atmosphere, it was charming. There were people sitting by the tables. Kids and other people, but nobody I knew. Then I saw a blonde woman, and after looking closer I saw that she was that survivor from previous dream, the one that used acrobatics to escape. She smiled to me. I thought "Eh, whatever." I didn't had any plans for that summon, I just wanted her to roam the mansion. Then I was back in uncle's new house and looked through a window. Just in time to see the summon arrive in a silver Mercedes car. She entered the building. I went downstairs to kitchen. Uncle was preparing dinner, I noticed an unfinished room. He said "You're not going to finish it..." I replied to him in my thoughts (which resulted in my voice appearing everywhere). I thought "I'll try". I turned around and a transparent brick wall appeared in place of doors. I turned around again, and almost saw that room, the wall was fading away. It was mostly done, just a matter of phasing through the wall. It was a bathroom. I went along main hall and entered dining room. There was a long table with set of chairs. The summoned woman was already there. I have lost lucidity.

Dream fragment

I was walking through a dark underground passage.

Took a lot of effort to remember anything this morning.

1) At some sort of conference. Difficult to get in my bags kept getting searched, crowds of people trying to get in. I remember going from downstairs to upstairs, there was more to this dream but I can't remember much detail.

2) Standing in a country lane with my wife outside some houses, I think I was trying to explain something to her. One of our cats ran out into the road as a large lorry came past and narrowly avoided being run over. Somehow the dream switched to me moving bits of frozen fish from a large plastic container to a smaller one. Bit odd.

3) I was hearing music from Les miserables and thinking how much my wife liked it then thought about taking her to see it. I was then looking through a programme for the show.

I entered LD at my house. My wife looked like dream zombie, I couldn't wake her from that state. So I decided to explore my surrounding. I went into basement and there was a finished bicycle I'm working on (here is progress on it, my 9 years old daughter is presenting ) :

So I took it for a little ride. The ride was nice but bicycle started to change its shape slowly, and things started to interfere with my legs movements. I came close to my friend house while bicycle became completely unusable.
I went into her house. There were her parents... well, her mother looked similar to her real mother, but father looked differently(with yellowish spiky hair???). I spoke with them about their life, asked them things- their answers were strange, different to this reality. They wanted to repair their TV ??? I found that problem was with antenna and I fixed that problem easily.
I sat there and waited. After some time my friend came and she starred on me. She asked what I'm doing there and went dormant(like stature) I wasn't able to communicate with her. So I left. My WILD didn't last much longer after that. I walked and explored my surroundings till the very end.

Before going to sleep I heard a deep vibration or buzzing in my ear, it lasted for about 10 seconds and then stopped completely. It was extremely loud. Anyways my dream was that of a spinning ring, at first it was spinning in the air attached to some sort of leather cord, then it was on a table (no leather cord) being spun by the guy who appears in most of my dreams. The ring also changed in details, at first it was simple, looked as if made of silver or white gold, with some sort of tribal design. Then the ring became ornate, with a rainbow stone in the center amd smaller stones going around the band (smaller stones were of different colors).

P.S. no explanation of a spinning ring in dream dictionary

14/2/16: A lot of dreams on an otherwise not great night.

Dream 1: It was my brother and I's birthday, and we were at home when we received presents from a friend. The presents were magic the gathering cards in both physical and digital formats (idk lol). These seemed like pretty cool presents, so I was set to play but I got a reminder that it was another friend I have's birthday too. I quickly rushed over to meet him, only realizing one I arrived that I had forgotten a present for him. He said it was ok, and we went to this really long, muddy trench. There were tons of people there as an Elephant was being raced down the trench.

Dream 2: I was part of a debating team of three people. We travelled to a beach where we took on another team of 3 with someone there to adjudicate. Our first person won, then our second person lost to some underhand tactics, but I won in the third position so our team won.

Dream 3: There was some sort of criminal conspiracy theory involving Paul Sturgess. He was part of some youth basketball training camp and every morning while still dark they went out for a jog. Standing at 7 foot 8 he was head and shoulders above everyone else and stood out like a sore thumb. Anyway every morning there ended up being someone killed at a time where the other people in the camp didn't see him. I got tasked as a sort of PI on the case and was watching his movements through binoculars.

Dream 4: I was watching a video about the WWE which showcased a lot of horrible botches and some trade secrets. I saw how the people had flesh coloured shin guards which could pop up or down to protect them. There were also a few horrible botches with one woman stuffing up a move so her foot got twisted around nearly 180 degrees. She was just sitting there screaming her head off as the other person froze.

Dream 5: A friend I had made a video detailing how Asian people view cricket. He talked a bit about the game and then set up a miniature cricket pitch game (like the Test Match cricket tabletop game) in his house and played with that for a while.

Dream 6: In a hurry I chose the wrong quest in Spellweaver, missing out on getting a quest for 540,000 gold, and I was super annoyed with myself for that.

Awakening and going back to sleep.

Dream 7: I had a shower and then went on Facebook. I had received a message from someone and was replying to them.
