Last LD of the night. I see a man with brown business pants and black shoes winding around the corner. There is an ominous feel to the situation, and I head the other way and up a staircase. As I wind the corner, i instinctively put up my hand where I anticipate the figure and say "I'm Lucid". The figure vanishes. I ascend the steps and begin walking into a square room which extends to the left. There is a small corridor that leads to the right with a doorway to outside. Before making my way to this area I decide to recall a dream goal and work on it. At this point, I didn't want to stay in this yellow-tinged house as it felt very eerie. I ask the dream to help me develop the ability to become aware in my dreams . There is no response. I decide to take it upon myself via a method I had imagined in waking life. I place my hands against my head and picture myself channeling waves of blue lightening/electricity into my mind. I hold the intention to develop the ability to become aware in dreams. At this point I walk toward the corridor and decide to conjure a purple portal to lead me to another dream scene. I point toward the wall and imagine a small oval portal open up with a black center. I cannot recall with full accuracy if the portal appeared in the dream or simply in my imagination within the dream. This idea was sparked from recalling a DV challenge in one of the monthly competitions. I don't walk through the portal at this point, yet decide to phase through the wall instead. The dream becomes very dim at this point and fades. I wake up.

Wow, I keep getting behind. I just got back home after being out of town for 3 weeks. So I've been away from home about 6 of the last 10 weeks. That makes it not only hard to record my dreams, but to have a consistent sleeping pattern and have lucid dreams. The good news is that I did have two lucid dreams in the last three weeks, even though I didn't get to do any scheduled WBTBs. The first dream was short, but I did fly with a family member. The next dream was pretty long. But I don't remember all the details, since I didn't record it at the time. I do remember eating yummy food and flying over my town at dusk going higher and higher. Both very pleasant things to do.

I also remember a non-lucid dream that had Indiana Jones and a dinosaur in it. You have to admit, that combination made for a cool dream. I should have recorded it the instant I woke up. Lessons learned.

Edit:

I just remembered another dream. I was going back to Sri Lanka (I had spent some time in Sri Lanka as a teenager IRL). I was talking to someone about the people I was going to meet. People I had known while I was there. I came up with all these names. I remembered all these facts about each person.

When I woke up it was all false memories. None of the people I had thought about in the dream were real people I had known. It's funny how our minds will come up with long back stories for people and things in our dreams.

Second LD of the night. I am playing an old video game. I become aware that if I make it to the coastline with my character, I will have a LD. I make it, and have a false awakening. I don't accept that it's real as I notice I'm on the opposite end of the bed. I become lucid. The dream goes black at this point and I begin to demand of the dream more focus and clarity. Nothing occurs. I decide to take this as an opportunity to meditate within the dream in order to hold strong focus without any visuals. My focus is single for a short period of time. At some point I am aware I am in a room facing a wall, and I begin rubbing my dream body. A blackout is coming so I begin meditating again. My focus is very strong this time. I become aware of sounds at either end of my point of awareness. I have the thought that it must be a reflection of the lucid dreaming state as represented by a concept of brainwaves. One humming sound appears as 'blue' and is to the right of my point of awareness. The other is to the front left and I don't recall a color. I have a strong awareness for a bit, yet the dream fades after a period of time and I wake up.

First LD of the night. I am with [S] and look at my cell phone which displays: 7:16. I think this can't be, and that I'm going to be late to work. I don't buy it, walk over to the sliding-glass window and just know I must be dreaming. I hold out my hand out of habit and notice minor transparency. At this point I am fully lucid and drift through the glass into an open room with sunlight spilling through the roof of the room. The light was most yellow, providing slight tinges of green as it reflected off of the water. There are large mirrors and windows around the entire perimeter of the room. A large rectangular pool with aqua water sits in the middle of the large room. The realism is simply unbelievable; it appears no different that waking life. I immediately seek to remember my goals and shout to the dream: "How do I develop my lucid dreaming ability?!". I ask a few times with no response from the dream. I look around this sun room with the pool in the center and wonder how long the dream will last for. It feels very stable, and I reason that it'll probably last for a while. I look to the right out one of the large glass windows and notice a large stone figure situated about 50 meters away. It is a cross between a stone Buddha statue and a lion. The stone is a light gray color and positioned next some grass along a row of evergreen trees. I begin rubbing my hands automatically and decide to look into the mirror, remembering typical stories which I've heard in podcasts. I'm interested to see that there is no reflection. Wanting to develop the dream, I decide to phase through the mirror. When phasing into the mirror, my initial impression was that I entered an area resembling outer-space yet with less stars. It seemed as though there was infinite potential in this area that hadn't been tapped, yet my awareness diminished in this void. I feel as though I am aware of eyelids at this point and resolve to keep my eyes shut as I believe I am becoming aware of my sleeping body. It seems as though it developed into dream blindness at this point, and the dream soon faded.

I had what felt like a long dream. I was secretly dating a guy who was a public figure, like in the pop industry or something. People definitely knew exactly who he was & didn't approach him for the most part. He seemed obviously younger than me. He was very handsome & mature for his age. At first I thought he was Justin Beiber, lol but he wasn't, he was older than that & didn't look like him after all. He was very calm & seemed to be in deep thought when he looked at me & when he looked around at all the people. He was very sure of himself & projected this but not in a cocky way. More of a very calm confident person. I've never before me someone who captivated other peoples attention but knew to not push them too far. Not like this anyway.. We were at an event where he was making an appearance. It looked like a benefit w/ many stages where there were competitions going on. For example there were big areas of water that looked green w/ lights in it & big rocks all around it. Like a stage set used for a movie. People were swimming in it & challenging each other to do this or that in the water. I don't know how to explain it. There were people all around us but he was extremely calm & cautious. Like he was trying to protect me from all of these people. I was telling him he didn't have to tell anyone about me & he calmly told me that he wanted people to know. So when someone asked him if he was dating me he said yes very calmly & confidently. His calm energy was very contagious I guess because my demeanor was suddenly very very unusually calm. In fact we were both unusually calm. We then were able to walk around holding hands & he still seemed very serious. As if he was calmly on alert to field any questions about this new romance that would now be scrutinized by the media. But I also felt an overwhelming deep connection w/ him. Not your typical DC experience. It was on the lines of love & a deep emotional connection where you feel like you don't question your relationship. You just know on a deeper level w/o question what you feel is real & true & strong. Like I was in a parallel universe & this was a duel reality of my own. (I have these kinds of dreams fairly regularly where they feel like real people in connection to me.)..... Like I said this dream went on for quite sometime w/ us just walking around & he never did anything to pinpoint exactly what he did for a living. It was like his presence there was enough for whatever reason.... Eventually he pulled me aside & told me that he wanted to marry me & that he wanted to tell people tonight. Of course I thought it would seem odd to people that he had just told them he was dating me & in the same night to propose marriage would seem rather hasty. But it didn't seem hasty to me because we had seemed like we had already been together for a very long time & that because of him being a public figure had wanted to keep this part of his life to himself. It was like he was tired of hiding the relationship. And sure enough he got up on this rock wall thing & addressed the people & stated that he & I were getting married, all with great confidence & a hint of "None of you will challenge this fact because it is what I say it is" tone in his voice. And no-one objected. We were free to roam about & he now had a demeanor of relief when he talked.... So we just walked around w/ each other in a state of bliss.. And then I woke up. Like on cue or something.

This dream seemed to have a climax building throughout the dream & then when that part was over the calm set in & the dream just faded into the night & I woke up. Definitely a memorable dream. I can't categorize it as lucid because I never had that ah-ha moment & then tried to act upon it. But I did note that I was married in real life while I was dreaming & that this was definitely not an average dream so that it was okay to act this way w/ this particular man. This was something else altogether different in my mind. It was more of a dream that seemed to be rooted in a factual nature. Like this place & this person was part of another life & did not need to be put in a category. Yet, I wish there was a kind of category for things that seem like they are of an "alternate reality or dimension". I woke up feeling very calm & the dream is still there in my mind many hours later just a perfect & preserved as can be. I won't forget this dream because of the intimate nature & realness it possessed for whatever reason.

Last night was very frustrating. My husband has a restless night & it interrupted my process... I tried to induce SP & I had even more sensations than ever before but was repeated interrupted. I had jerking, whooshing, seeing a light w/ my eyes closed & I had the sensation of weightlessness & the feeling of starting to float. But like I said my husband tossed & turned all night long & it made this process stop & start repeatedly. I was so frustrated. He is usually a pretty still sleeper but does snore & then so I may have to rethink when I try to do this or possibly even where. I may try to lay in our recliner at night & see if that works. I don't know. I guess I'll think on it.

Fragment 1:

I'm in a house. Dogs keep coming up to me, they seem really friendly and cute, but then? Then they start snapping out at me by jumping and shoving at me, and worst of all, taking big chomps out of my limbs! I'm terrified, but the others in the house don't seem to be taking it seriously, they just say the dogs have some emotional issues. The other dogs are outside or something, but there's one left in the house that's also cute and friendly looking, but I'm just waaaiting to get chomped on again. ;A; There was more to this but it was a really early dream and I didn't log details before going back to sleep. I'm not good at describing things but the dogs were on the small side and lean, brown/gold colored.

Fragment 2:

I'm sitting by my grandma F. (dead IWL). I remember picking up a notebook/diary and turning to a page written in 1992. Grandma wants me to read it. I'm having a hard time seeing what's written on the page though because of the darkness, so I try using the backlight on my activity watch, but it doesn't help much, just enough to see a small, faded paragraph written at the time in pencil.

I come across a page made in 1988. It has words cut out from magazines, and I realize it's our names. I remember seeing dad's name. Either I knew or someone told me that I made that page. But after a moment I'm like 'wait a minute I was born that year how the heck would baby me make this'.

I remember going through a tall stack of magazines. One was 'Pokemon'.

Some people are talking in the background and one (mom?) asks grandma if she wants a taco. I'm thinking about the heartburn when she says yes. She says something about how she'll need cough(?) syrup, and I replied that I was just about to say something about the heartburn she'll have.

Fragment 3:

This is a bit jumbled, but... An audience, including me, is watching two black singers on stage. It's kind of dark, but someone just beside the stage to the left notices someone else has snuck up there. As we watch, they become part of the performance, dancing in the middle. They seemed to have thick, stringy hair and a round face.

Back to me watching, I see that instead of a man, a tiger is dancing and singing with them. At the end, he transforms back into a tall, thin man in his late twenties maybe with brown/blond hair. The crowd boos, and I think it might be because it's a white man singing songs typical of black men.

I think I knew what song they were singing on the tiger part but I forgot.

6.45 Lots of things going on in my head....I feel I'm waking up....I say to myself: "Remember it all", but it slips away I lie still for a while, the only thing that stays is: writing something down. Like the day before yesterday... (maybe it is "writing down my dreams"???????)

Hi everyone,

I had a dream last night that I remembered..! The first one in a long time..!

It was set during a zombie apocalypse! I was at my old secondary school, when the zombie invasion began. We were split into groups, and sent on our way. I remember being with a few other students, none of them were familiar from my old school days.

We were given these weapons, which had to charge up before firing. However no matter how much we charged the weapons they wouldn't fire. We quickly became aware that we were tricked by the one who sent us, and that we'd be the first that the zombies overwhelmed. I turned to the students I was with, explaining my thoughts to them about this fool's errands, and they agreed.

I took charge of the group, and we went back inside the school as we began to have a look around for weapons, or hideouts. Anything that would aid us in this zombie invasion..! While we walked and searched we found other students who quickly began to follow us as well.

I remember before the dream ended we found a base, and there was one student there who was an excellent cook. However they seemed to have cut the meat from dead zombies, and was trying to feed it to us all for some reason..!

Then I woke up!
It was a shame because I was really enjoying it.. xDD!!

Fragments. I slept terribly. Something to do with a guy friend of mine, something to do with talking to an animal, something do with being worried.

Fragment: Something to do with the Avatar episode "The Fourtneteller"

...

Anxiety dream. I was in my college class, and I had to do some kind of presentation in front of the class. I remember I didn't have it/the file was corrupted. Some of the other students (I feel like there was two of every student in the class.) and they all started laughing at me for not having done the project that had been due all semester.

For whatever reason, I decided to pretend to faint. I fell down on the floor and all of the duplicates of the students started kicking me. Supposedly they were dickhead duplicates, like manifestations of all the classmates' evil sides.

...

The dream repeated, only this time, instead of it being a missing/corrupted file, it was because my computer had been dropped/broken. I remember looking at the broken computer and remembering that that was a dream sign. (I listened to my dream signs recording right before bed.) But for whatever reason, no lucidity.

This time, I remember that when I pretended to faint, everyone put me on a glass table. I was afraid I might fall through the table and get cut by broken glass.

I woke up at about 5:00 to go pee and went back to bed hoping for a lucid. I woke up agian at about 6:30 very briefly. I don't remember if this dream happened in the 5:00-6:30 block of sleep or the last block of sleep after 6:30 to about 7:50

I remember it was a dream about Manei. She was the only character present, and I was simply observing her. She was in this abandoned city and she decided to go to the library and since the city was abandoned, they would have copies of her favorite books that she could take and keep for herself. I think Tom Sawyer was the one she wanted to get, but I don't remember.

She walked in and found the book, but when she turned to walk back out, the library had changed the entrance was no longer there. She looked around for the entrance for awhile, but eventually figured she had gotten lost. She took a paper and pen from a desk and drew a map, but eventually she figured the library must be changing because when she re-visisted old locations they were different.

Instead she decided to just head in one direction and eventually she would find and exit. She walked for awhile and found that the library got darker the deeper she went. She had her torches with her and used that to create light. Eventually she came across this huge cavernous room. (Like miles across, there were clouds and an entire landscape in it and everything.) Parts of the landscape were bookshelves overgrown and rotting with vines and trees while others were completely organic.

But in order to get down to the floor of the cavern room (it was this huge drop-off from where she was) she had to take a detour. I remember then Tom Saywer approached on his raft. This was where the mystery of the library had been answered, that apparently characters from books were coming to life and the reason the library was so big was because it needed space for all the book characters. She rode with Tom on his raft for awhile. I remember he played songs with a banjo to keep her entertained, but when they got to the destination, Tom tried to charge her by making her give up her golden necklace and she wouldn't do it, so she swam to shore to get away from him.

Then she was like in this warehouse room. I remember there was like an old forklift with an oak sapling growing out of it and glowing mushrooms and roots everywhere. This evil librarian lady showed up. Apparently she was the librarian before the city was abandoned and her eternal sleep had been disturbed. I remember she had a skeleton body, but there were two smaller ribcages on her shoulders that apparently had belong to the library assistants,and a zombie librarian head with empty glasses frames.

She ran and tried to hide behind a stone pillar. The librarian walked past her and was about to go away when her stomach growled and it gave her away. She tried to project fire from her torches to fight the monster but apparently they didn't work when she was hungry.

She ran away again and fell down this hole into an underground lake. She was in the big cavern room now and swam to the shore where the roof and caved in and there was some grass and apple trees.

I really feel like the whole dream was referencing alice in wonderland or the wizard of oz in some way.

The apple she picked had a realistic human mouth and said: "Hey, whatever you do to me, I'm gonna do to you!" another apple that was still on the tree started talking. "Yeah, leave the poor kid alone!" She screamed and threw the apple away.

The last thing I remember was a mushroom guy with no arms and an elephant trunk came up to her and said something about eating him, but Manei wouldn't do it because she didn't like mushrooms. The mushroom said that if Manei didn't eat her she would be in trouble. A giant grasshopper monster then came and started chasing her. I think it was later revealed that the grasshopper was the lieutenant of the librarian lady and was also hungry and wanted to eat her. There was some dialogue between Manei, an apple and the 30 foot grasshopper about how there was a food chain, but the apple was the only one that wasn't hungry, therefore he was the one who was the most successful.

I became 'lucid' here and decided I wanted to help her out. (I don't really know how to describe it, because I became aware that what was going on was a story that my mind was creating, but for some reason, I didn't think of it as a proper lucid dream because I wasn't a first person character. I just remember thinking of my recording that reminds me that Dream Guide should equal Instant lucid.) I was somehow able to talk to her, and I had to get her out. But because it was a story that had to end it in a way that made sense. So I instructed her to use pages from books to make a giant paper airplane and fly out a hole in the roof. This actually worked, and when she got out there was a third-person version of myself as well as Alduir.

When she got out, "I" Hugged her then proceeded to scold her for not eating well and taking care of herself. Maybe I was just cranky because she got to have a much more interesting experience/dream/story than I did. Then she realized she forgot to get the tom sawyer book.

The computer monitor is an ancient beige cathode-ray-tube monster with terrible resolution. It makes me question whether this is a dream. My hands look perfectly normal though. On the screen is something about a goddess. It looks like proxima midnight, a character from a mobile game.

Closing the computer, I hurry out of the room and down the staircase. The front door is like the one in my parents house, a mix of patterned distorted glass and wood. I phase directly through it without really thinking. Definitely a dream.

The sky is cloudy and it is raining. I feel the rain on my skin. Gentle, warm, spring rain. The rain droplets fall on my bare arms and chest. It is pleasant, calming. For a short time I just enjoy the sensation, practising a moment of mindful meditation.

Recalling my new 3 step I attempt to teleport to a place in China. The attempt fails and dumps me into the void before a false awakening.

Sitting up in a yellow room I find a pair of spiderman pants. I stare at my hands and find they are perfectly normal again. To be sure I try the pinched nose check and it is inconclusive. Maybe my nose is blocked by a cold. While thinking about this I wake for real.

Was trying to put my dog in a small fan like thing outside. Darn it.

Not sure why but now I'm thinking of a white Oldsmobile with the 5.7 Diesel. Did this even show up in-dream?

Was outside and saw people playing Poker on a long table in a room and passed it by. No one saw me. I may know at least one person who was in there.

Took my Lyre pendant out of a box in an empty grave in a crypt. Somehow later was in another Crypt room which had the body of the one who was supposed to be in the empty slot, but this was directly east of the other one ("Stillwall shows the way", as in that Scooby Doo episode with "The Headless Spectre".) Was thinking I wanted to get out "before something (unrecalled) happens" and opened door. The door across the hallway was open and I saw either someone or some skeleton (not sure which) at a tea party table I believe with dolls around her. I did see a person in that seat then, and after that saw (with her back to me and facing a window, was it the same person at this point?) someone turning into a Wookie. My wake up call popped up then.

I had a rather sexual dream last night, i was trying to get in touch with my sister but all she does it blank me 2/7 so I know the end result but that doesn't stop me sending her a message. I sent her a message, saying that I have a baby and I was waiting for her to reply I wanted her to reply, I kept thinking about if she would read the message. Next thing I know I'm having sex with some random stranger, I can't see her face or nothing only her bottom half of her body.

I remember being in some house sitting with Hannah and the rest of her family, just caually doing nothing but sitting there. There where about 2 tablets and my phone. I was thinking she doesn't have a phone IWL and she looked sad, I felt awful, I was on my phone just browsing until one of her family members comes over and asks for a go. His name his sam and I give him a go, next minute you just start to see the phone menlting on the table, it's impossible to many! How has that even mebtled? I crumbled up and didn't know what to do because I couldn't post on DV anymore but I got on with it,I told Hannah to look at my phone because all you can see is that it turned into a gaint egg! Sam comes back over and puts his hand in the egg and pulls out a leg of chicken and I was can i eat it and he says no

I was at school where they were having some kind of convention that was largely League of Legends based. There were also challenger players from other countries there. I was talking to one such person, he was Asian,and he spoke perfect English. He asked if I had a twitch account. I told him I don't bother with things like that I'm a very casual player. Some severe weather seems to be coming in and buses are at the school ready to pick everyone up but there doesn't seem to be enough so everyone is rushing to get to a bus or to a friend with a car. I try first to see if an acquaintance there has room in his car to take me with him, he doesn't. So I go to where the last unfilled buses are. In front of a bus for the handicapped is a bus that is just about full, a girl gets on first, then I do and the last bus is at maximum capacity. At some point a bus cuts a corner to sharp and goes over a small stream, luckily it makes it over somehow by driving on a log that I just happened to put there earlier myself. Realistically that log wouldn't have held a fraction of the buses weight. I see that there are downed trees, branches, and leaves everywhere, so I guess a hurricane must have come near by. The destruction looked familiar enough. We are approaching my stop but we have to detour do to downed trees or something. I was close enough that I could easily just get off and walk from there, but I was in no rush to get home. If something went wrong along the way I felt I was the best equipped to help or at the very least I was the strongest since most people there were physically their 9th grade selves and I was my adult self or perhaps just retained my adult strength, also there was a girl there who was cute.

First fragment

I was working on a map for Heroes of Might and Magic III, placing objects on adventure map and then testing it out.

Second fragment

Some blurred nightmare moments caused by a creepy, strange noise I heard when I was in toilet, before going to my bed (certainly not a false awakening).

LD - shapeshifting + ToTM Advanced Task I

Cloudy morning in a city, it was raining. I was walking on a sidewalk with my younger sister, there was a construction site nearby. I stopped, turned round to her and said "It's a dream, you can unfurl your fins like a bird and fly away!" (common joke in my family is that my younger sister is a fish woman...) She flied up in the sky. I decided to fly into construction site, and then recalled ToTM Advanced task I - draining a colour out of an object. There was a fence with brown painted metal railings. I thought about draining the colour then touched it with my index finger, watching as the colour flows into it. From brown it turned into a pale railing. Looking at my finger I saw that it didn't changed it's colour. I wonder where it have gone, so I pointed at the ground far away from me and then to another point, and a brown line appeared, then vanished after a while.

After completing the ToTM task I recalled my current lucid goal - shapeshifting. I thought "I'll need a mirror." and one just popped up on top of a steel beam close to me. Using my shapeshifting technique (looking at the mirror, turning back thinking into what I'll change, looking back at the mirror) I managed to change only my clothes. Only once I changed into some kind of a soldier wearing a white robotic armor with a white helmet that had a black, rectangular visor. The visor was cut in the corners. I was holding an assault rifle in my hands. I made a nose plug RT, it was succesfull.

I realized that to have more control over changing I must have a mirror placed that I won't see it while turning back (I still could see that one with a corner of my eye). I thought "More mirrors." and two more popped up in different places - one on the bottom of a beam and another on it's side. I've chosen the one on the side and continued to change. First I turned into a policeman, then I decided to turn into a female (somehow it's a bit hard to stabilise dream when doing this, so I wanted to train it a bit). First I turned into an ugly police woman - I had somehow distorted face with elongated chin and small eyes. Then I changed into a better looking one. Turning back from the mirror, I was able to only make one step back from the mirror as everything turned black. I managed to hold on in the dream and appeared back on the sidewalk close to construction site.

Spoiler for Sex time:

I couldn't recally anything better to do, so I summoned a few lesbian DC's to check some capabilities of my new body. One of them had a strap-on toy. She started with anal, but dream was slowly fading away. My body changed back to normal and everything went black.

I woke up.

Second dream

With a bunch of other random DC's I was closed in Auschwitz, a Nazi German death camp. We were in a bit more favorable situation, as we were designated for medical courses instead of death chambers or really hard work. We were thinking how we could escape from there, having a plan to destroy their energy lines and go out. A nazi general appeared and to tell us about rules here and then went away. Suddenly forces of Allies started to drop bombs on the camp. I decided to run for it and jumped out of the camp through a bombed fence. Soldiers shot to me, I got hit a few times but I was still going on, jumping down the trenches and escaping. I found a rifle, so I could shoot to soldiers and run away.
