27/3/16:
Dream 1: I woke up remembering one word. Zombies. I think there was a magazine story about it and my relatives were coming over.

Dream 2: I was at my old house preparing the house for when my relative were coming over. My mum cooked dinner which we ate, then I went back to cleaning but as I pulled back a chair a whole bunch of spiders came pouring out. I tried stamping on them but it wasn't working too well. I ran off and got a poison sprayer and fired it at them. It killed them, but it got stuck on and I started feeling suffocated. I ran outside and threw the poison away and walked around the side of the house. It was raining, and I found my mum walking around there barefoot and looking dazed. I asked her what she was doing and she seemed too shellshocked to reply so I brought her back inside.

Dream 3: I can't remember the beginnings of this one, but I gave a short, sharp pump up speech and then grabbed a light bulb hanging down on a chin in front of me and ripped it off. This violent action woke me up lol.

My son is home college for a week & my husband is my priority on the wknd's. Therefore I was jump started awake by family & had no way to remember my dream because others hindered me... so frustrating.

I entered dream and everything was diffuse. I didn't hear any sounds at start. But slowly everything concentrated and my senses came along.
I was in quite desolate big village. Houses were in various stage of disrepair, rubbish laid on the street. I walked and observed...the day went into night. And I walked. I observed dark places surrounding the light ones. In dark patches of village there was nobody, people were moving into light ones. All the people sleep zombies. Even my wife was in zombie state there... And it looked as if I was walking to more and more narrow places and rooms... I didn't like that. It looked like typical dream where one is walking till he can't move anymore. I'm not scared by that, but it usually leads out of dream(into wake state). And I didn't want that So I concentrated and I walked into open...
After some time of walking the night went into day. I was walking on street where one side was hill and other side had houses. That road went up and up... And it started to be a little boring... so I decided to go and visit closest house.It was in bad shape... small parts of it were falling down constantly. After I went out of it I navigated to better looking house. There was a dog guarding it... Quite big one. Yet I was walking there. I looked on the dog. The dog looked on me. I stopped. I was thinking looking on the dog and an interesting "game" began:
The dog is quite big... what if it is ferocious? The dog started to snarl.
The dog is snarling... what if the rope is not strong enough to keep it on place? The rope snapped
Now... the dog is not bound what if he is going to attack me? The dog started to growl louder and started to creep to me...
The dog is quite close and he looks on me... he will jump... The dog jumped.
I didn't wait and I shoved my right hand into mouth of jumping dog deep, up to my elbow. The dog was like sleeve on my hand- he tried to bite, but his attempts were pitiful. I looked into his eyes... he was choking... And disappeared.
I was looking on my arm... it was slobbered a little. I contemplated a minute about what happened and then I went into house. It was really in better shape. Yet it was again empty. I was thinking: this dream is not very interesting. Then I remembered that I tried a few times to meet someone in a dream, by calling the name... to make this dream shared. So I called. Nothing happened. Did I call someone? I didn't hear anything. I concentrated more... And I CALLED my friend full name. It was roar. The air was waving by compression waves... the ground went into wave around me... like when someone drops a rock into water. Houses around me trembled. And someone appeared!!! I looked on that woman back (she appeared about 5 meters from me with her back turned to me) and was thinking... is she my friend? The body sizes was about right, the soul connection screamed that it was her... yet the hair... colour was right, but the length... she had hair maybe 1-1.2 meter long! I never saw something like that by her. I decided to ask. Her face was that of my friend... yet the answer was negative. She didn't know me. I was confused. She walked away and slowly disappeared on the move.
Hmmm... should I try call her again? I called second time... I concentrated... the volume of my roaring of her name was at least as strong as first time. Devastating for some of more desolate houses. And again a woman appeared. THE SAME ONE!!! I walked to her and again asked... And again the answer was negative. I asked:Then why did you appeared again? I received no answer on my question. And that woman again slowly disappeared.
Third time is a charm??? So I concentrated longer and more. The roar of her full name was much more powerful. LOL. The same woman appeared :
She looked on me and asked: Why are you calling me again and again?
How am I calling you, when you are not who I'm calling??? You told me that you are not who I'm calling.I answered.
She looked on me confused. And disappeared again.
I was again walking through desolate village. Why it looks so bad? Why am I walking in such devastated country? Why not some woodland... or meadow? I looked up and I saw hill maybe 500 meters further behind houses... with lush green trees. Yet I wasn't tempted to walk there. I only looked on them... I saw how leaves are moving in wind. The day slowly went into night again and I lost consciousness in darkness of night.

Remarks.
Who was that woman? She came when I called... yet I was calling my friend. Was it dream interpretation?
The dream wasn't shared one, probably. My friend didn't remember anything. Could she be from other time, dimension? She was strangely conscious... Not the dream zombie
Not a short LD
Devastated village... Why? Why didn't I walk to those trees? There was no need, no want...no will to walk there in me. I walked where I felt I have to walk.

Only recalled fragments:

• Looking at a printed maze (woke up from this)
• Sitting in a wooden gym/theater that is lit by orange light. There is a chinese dragon costume onstage.
• Talking with my my high school counselor about my grades. She's using some sort of futuristic transparent interface thing. Takes place in gym place. (Not my counselor IRL. Actually an assistant principal)
• Talking with my mother in the gym place. She asks: "was it neela?", referring to the counselor. (I don't actually know anyone named neela)

Notes:

• I messed up the volume on my alarm. Did not wake up at planned WBTB time.
• I need to remember to sit in bed for a bit and try to recall my dreams before jumping into the day.

+ (fairly long) we're coming up on a building. It was an owner-built house. It is long and narrow and zig-zags a bit. I comment on its length, "easily 100 yards". Walking by on the left side, I look in through the windows and see people working in offices, that must be the administration for the factory. Inside, there are huge racks of supplies: paper towels and other paper products, bottles of cleaning/chemicals. I can't figure out if these are the products of the factory, or just supplies used in production

+ (f, vague) outdoors, enter a small cave-like building near a waterfall?

+ I'm moving through a crowd of people. There's a young girl walking by my side. We're chatting? I pick her up and carry her in my left arm like a small child, she's basically sitting on my arm. We walk a ways in this fashion. We come upon a plate of some red-berry pastries, I say we can't eat them because they've been covered with plastic wrap, but there's a plate with the plastic wrap already opened, so she (I?) eat one.

I'm trying to move through a hole in a wall to the other side, but the other side is packed with people and there's no way I can squeeze through.

+ I'm lying in bed with a family friend (OA, blonde), we're intimate, I lean over and kiss her, cupping her head with my hand. She says "call me your beloved darling" and so I do. There is another girl, a brunette now, whom I saw earlier in the dream?, kiss her also. My wife walks by holding a bead and says not to use the bead?

+ I'm standing in an outhouse (at our cabin?), it is painted in pinks and blue on the internal walls. The underlying pink was painted over with the blue, which is flaking off?, I'm inspecting the colors closely. The walls are moving around and I try to center them back over the platform. I'm careful not to fall into the hole. The seat is missing, I look around and see it to the side, and push it back into position with my foot.

+ I'm supposed to give a speech/talk to some people seated in chairs, I'm trying to rapidly finishing a burger, my wife is there, the burger/onions are almost falling out of the buns so I"m trying to stuff it all in my moth

There is an evacuation going on. Long tour busses are packed with people, I see them through the windows. In one bus the people are wearing uniforms like in a sports team. I'm not planning to get on the busses.

+ I'm negotiating the price of a taxi ride standing in an office. I'm confused if I can make it all the way to my destination, I ask for the price several times, "500" is the answer one of the times. The driver's going to McDonald's? Should I get out earlier (for a lower fare?), I'm generally confused about what's going on.

During a routine awakening, I went to the restroom and back to bed. I laid on my back and started thinking about what I wanted in my next lucid dream. Before I was even finished thinking, I noticed a neon green blob of color had appeared in the middle of my closed eyelids. Not even relaxed yet, I settled into a bit of a more comfortable position on my back. I focused on the blob of color again, now ready. The blob vanished as stars filled the blackness. An evil sounding voice boomed, "WELCOME". A strong force took hold of me, flying me quickly through space to an earthlike planet. Speeding towards the ocean, the force slowed me down as I approached a small island with a city on it. "THIS IS THE ISLAND OF JOY," the voice continued. I was now in the city by a street where there was a big truck with a sign on top with a dollar amount on it. "IF YOU COMPLETE THE QUEST, YOU CAN WIN 1 MILLION DOLLARS." Yay! Dream money! I decided to play along. The voice then laid out my quest. He was now talking at a pace faster than I could comprehend, but from what I got from it, my quest was to retrieve some sort of object, go down a sewer and come up at an ice cream shop. Before I was sure what to do, I woke up.

No recall, zero, for the last 2 nights.
Had a strange one last night not sure how to classify it!

1) I was talking to my wife in bed, she said something about throwing a pillow (or cushion?) off to the side and it would be strange if it moved on its own. I thought, no, that would be fun because it would be supernatural. Then I was WILDing (in the dream) and it was working I heard really loud noises, quite deafening, and I felt myself vibrating all over. I thought at last! it's working, it's frightnening but it's working, I remembered everything I have been told and tried to think of a dream scene, that didn't work. I went with it for a while and tried to move my dream body to get an OBE, but that didn't work. Then I tried force my eyes open remembering that I should enter a dream that way. I couldn't so I started to panic. I tried to move but realised I was paralysed and the noises and vibrations were getting more intense. I could sense my wife next to me and I could here her talking, and someone else talking the other side of me, I thought my wife must be dreaming as well. Then I force my eyes open and I could see my wife but I still couldn't move and I still had really loud noises happening and I thought this isn't right I'm stuck in some sort of weird state and might never get out of it - it was either a nightmare false awakening or a sleep paralysis that seemed to go on forever. Then I think I woke up properly, it was midnight, and was able to move, it all went silent at last.

2) Finding a seat in a canteen, I moved to another room in the canteen and sat next to an old lady she looked all alone and she was quite angry. Next I was sta at a table for some reason I was handed a sample in a sealed glass jar, I put it down and it smashed. A nurse told me to fix the bottle with sticky tape and it would be fine, so I did.

3) I was moving towards a big gate in a Star Wars type scene. There were storm troopers moving toward me and I was shooting them and I hit a few and they fell.

4) Racing a car around a dirt track

5) In a bank, someone else arrived and was annoyed becasue they wanted to rob the bank and I already had, so they went away.

6) An old childrens playhouse that I was trying to burn. It had a load of other old wood on top of it. It wasn't burning well, so I was trying to put dry tinder under the roof to get it going better. There was someone inside and I just managed to get them out as the fire took. I looked back and the firewood on top still wasn't burning very well. The detail in this dream was very good.

7) In a football stadium, can't remember too much, but I was more concerend about what was happening in the terrace and never looked down becasue I'm not interested in football. In the same dream I was thinking about which girl I fancied as if I was about 18 again, and I was writing down on 2 pages in a book something about myslef, and something about the girl I fancied to compare us, for her I wrote a phrase 'Don't be such a dipstick Charlie Brown', not sure why.

26/3/16:
Dream 1: I was learning a new language using a new and experimental technique for it. I was waiting around in public trying to find someone to talk to and practice my language skills but no one was stopping for me.

Dream 2: I was creating a new cartoon to help kids learn French. The show was similar in style to Archer but obviously for educational purposes. Following it they would learn a new word every day.

I'm at what's supposed to be the airport in Jakarta. I've just arrived here, standing somewhere outside. Since I'll be moving next month, this is a great opportunity to scout ahead a bit. Which bus to take, stuff like that. I've got two fairly sized bags with me. After a few seconds I notice they both have wheels. Sweet, that's gonna save me a lot of trouble. I see my regular size backpack on the ground. I can just put that one on my back then. Somewhere in this dream I think of what a waste of money this actually is. I'm here right now to do what exactly? Then I'll fly back to the Netherlands, only to return again a month later. I guess I can at least leave some stuff here, make it easy on myself.

I walk around a bit. At one end there seems to be some type of fair. I have a very short conversation with someone about what lies further on. Apparently just old junk, old airplanes and potentially old bombs. Guess I won't be checking out old airplanes then. At some point this turns into the funeral for I think the father of a guy I know, Erwin. There are quite some people. People raise their hand and suddenly there's fireworks. One of the arrows doesn't make it and falls back to the ground, setting the grass ablaze. People start scrambling around. I run towards one of the many large grey (trash) bins made out of steel, with a fair amount of sand in it. I grab it and then run towards one of the many fire patches on the grass. My classmate is here, telling me that the sand won't be enough to extinguish the fire. I put the bin on top of the fire anyway, up side down. I tell her the lack of oxygen will extinguish the fire. It works. Then on to the next one.

Sometime after this event my classmate accuses me of having scrambled for my own life, instead of doing something. Are you kidding me? I went to grab a bin to extinguish fires. I ask my other classmate to please back me up on this.

Had some more dreams with classmates and also a lecturer, but that's quite a bit to write down.

I've been reading a lot about mnemonic memory techniques & came to the conclusion that for me I don't want a scripted list. Instead all throughout my day I look at things, especially ones with motion & say what color they are, what material it is made of & what motion it creates. Exp: Black fan, spins, has metal on it & then I visual the motion & possible other motions it stimulates in my brain.... WBTS method this morning & did not have a LD but I was thinking about my dream house & instead of dreaming about that I did dream of another house with many stairs & all of the ppl including myself had abilities & the colors & details of my dream were much sharper due to using my own technique.
