Tonight I was very tired and memories have been few...

I'm with a co-worker, he has a lot of work and also he does not know how to do some of the tasks, he asks me for help.

I'm with friends at a bar in which there are many people, in a moment I decide to go to another part of the bar and I see a table on which there are also many people. I meet a girlfriend I did not see a long time. At first I am ashamed to have to get close, but then I think better and we greeted cordially.

Starting to get exhausted from work again, so recall dropping.

1) I was a student again and went to visit a friend at halls of residence. My wife was with me. We arrived at the halls and went to the shop another friend gave us bags of dirty clothes and asked us to give them to the other friend to wash. We walked to a phone box and phoned. He wasn't in, so we went up to visit someone else. There were a group of people there. I was looking through the wiring of the phone system and thinking how complicated it was. Then we phoned through to the original friend and got his girlfriend on the phone, she kept me hanging on for ages and wouldn't give me her flat number, eventually she gave me her floor number and said to phone when we got to the floor, I promised to be really quick and just hand over the clothers to be washed. I noticed the time and said to my wife that we had half an hour to do that, drive home, eat lunch then get to lectures.

I had an interview in the morning which I had a stressful dream about, I got the job though!
Not very detailed with this write-up because I left it quite late.

Dream 1 - Work stress
I was in some kind of competition to be a butler, like the one that happens in the Maid-Sama anime. I had to grab my clothes and get changed, but the person who was supposed to help me out completely fucked up. I couldn't find my shirt or anything and he was supposed have gotten it for me, I just got really stressed out because I was one of the last people to rush into the changing room and I was almost out of time.

Dream 2 - Jungle + pumpkins
From what I can remember there was some kind of competition (another one?) to do with a bunch of small groups getting together to collect certain items. We had a small wheeled tray which we put these items in, at first I was unenthusiastic about it because all the items would be compiled and shared between all the groups, so there wasn't actually a need for me to do anything. But I seem to get skeptical about this and also felt like it'd be a dick move to just leave it to my other group members to do the collecting. We're in a jungle-like area which opened up to a small grassy area with trees surrounding it. We have to get a pumpkin so we put that in the tray, but I notice that there's a giant slice of tomato (Like 1 metre long) in the tray. Gross, you just dumped the pumpkin on the giant tomato, now it's all slimy -.-... I move the pumpkin a bit so it's not on top anymore.

D₁-I was at my sisters TKD school watching people break cement plates (with their fingertips, heel kicks, etc.) whenever I decided it looked fun so I started screwing around and breaking some. There was this metal wall with parts of it had hollow cement plates so you could work on accuracy, thinking it'd be interesting to see if I could actually break the cement plates I started fingertip thrusting and bladder striking the plates out of their socket. The plates wouldn't break but would fly out and spin like crazy in the air. My sisters instructor asked me if I wanted to actually go to the class and I was feeling happy-go-lucky so I agreed. He started showing me how to stretch for a 180° round kick. He kept repeating, slow and steady, slow and steady.

Dream skip

D₂-I visited a church I went to as a child and started going to the youth group regularly (even though I'm in college). My friend's brother, Jacob, started to sit beside me whenever I came. One day (mind you this is all a dream) a girl started hanging all over him before our bible session started and he looked over at me with a *please help me she won't get off* kinda look. Feelin bad for the guy I walked over and said," Oh hey mind if I borrow him for a bit, his boyfriend texted me the other day and you know how catty he can get if he's given the silent treatment for too long." The girl scrunched her face up into the ugliest, snobbiest look a person could possibly make and got up out of his lap (she had previously straddled him). Jacob's face was bright pink the whole time.

Shitty recall this morning. I think it's because of the painkiller I took right before bed.

I'm sitting in the train together with 2 friends, though I can't recall who. We exit, leaving our stuff behind, and go somewhere else for a while. Whatever it is we're doing, it takes us 30 minutes to get back to the train. The train had been waiting for us, like a taxi. We board the train again and I think to myself how selfish this was of us, plus impractical. People here have been waiting for 30 minutes, while there's a new train every 15 minutes. We could've just taken our stuff with us and taken a later train upon returning to the station.

As the title suggests, I'm embarking on a journey to master the gravity RC posted by Hukif (Post Located Here). I've always been interested in this specific technique, as it logically makes sense how it would have a high success rate, despite the overwhelming initial learning curve. However, I'm going to try my best and work towards daily lucidity. For the RC, I am focusing on the feeling of weight on my shoulders/arms, and on my legs, specifically my calves. This way, I'm highly attentive whenever I'm walking, when I'm sitting (feeling of weight of arms on whatever surface), and when I pick something up. Specifically, I tell myself to RC whenever I pick something up, because that's an obvious indication of weight.

I will report how attentive I was at the RC for a daytime recap, and do a nightly journal. The attentiveness scale ranges from 0 - 100, where 0 is me giving the RC no thought at all, and 100 indicates the RC was in the back of my mind for the entirety of the day, in all aspects of my goals and how it relates to lucidity. I will also give a quality indicator, which is my opinion on how mindful I was towards the RC when I was actually doing it. For example, was I just noticing the gravity, or was I subconsciously questing whether the gravity was appropriate to whatever action I was doing? 0 indicates no questioning (for example, something could be abnormally heavy and I wouldn't so much give it a second thought, and 100 indicates that I'm properly questioning all aspects of the RC as it relates to the nature of dreams with respect to reality).

Day 1

Attentiveness: 5/100
Quality: 50/100

Thoughts: Man. This RC is hard! No wonder so many people kinda give it up. I would say my attentiveness towards the RC ran in 5-15 minute bursts, but I would quickly forget about it for an hour or so before jolting myself aware again. Also, the observations towards gravity were very 'forced' and 'awkward.' It's the same kind of feeling you would get if you were learning a new scale on the guitar; at first, you practice very intentionally and meticulously with the hope that it will become more natural in the future. Similarly, the observations I make with gravity with respect to my body feels very forced. Hopefully, this will improve in time. For the duration that I was RCing today, I was quite proud of the quality for the first attempt.
There's certainly a lot more to take into consideration than just feeling weight on a body part.

Night 1

Let's see...last night I vaguely recall around 3 dreams, but I only noted 1 in my voice recorder. There were several opportunities in my recalled dream in which I could've implemented the gravity RC. Got to keep this in mind.

Dream 1: Searching for a Training Crank

I was in a classroom, similar to my computer classroom is high school. There was an unusual amount of desks inside the room, cluttering it. My father apparently was apart of some OP training faction, and was with his friend, who I noticed was also in crazy shape. His friend was running on the treadmill, and his legs were moving so fast they were a blur (Should've questioned this). Desiring crazy physical fitness too, I asked my dad for a way to get in better shape. He recommended some kind of resistance crank that would train my endurance. I apparently heard him say the crank was in the front pocket of his gym bag, but my cousin, who was also in the room at the time, corrected me, saying that the keys to his truck were in the front pocket, and that the crank was in my father's truck. At this point, he called me a dumbass. I tried to retort with some lame joke.

There were so many desks in the room, I had to crawl under them just to make it to the exit (opportunity for gravity RC?). Outside, it was dark, and I was looking at the driveway of my home (should've noticed that the inside of the room I was in wasn't actually a room in my house). Going to my father's truck, my hands were shaking trying to unlock the door with the keys. The darkness was very unsettling for some reason, and I had a feeling that someone was going to come up from the street and mug me. The truck was extremely cluttered inside. I was going to use my phone as a light source, but apparently it died. I ended up not being able to find the crank.

I'm over at a childhood place at Crestveiw and I'm in a living room. It is daytime outside and I'm flying around. I'm in from of a Megazord box or something that I like on TV showing it to them. I then feel heavy and descend to the ground and land. Frustrated I punched the carpeted floor and then realized that in a dream this could be someone and quickly said sorry to the floor. lol. It was an olive green carpet and next to me was something black that looked like old gum. I stood up and tried to fly again but to no avail.

I don't remember my dream

6/4/16
Dream 1: I was studying this small model of a huge chinese temple/castle thing, it was extremely intricate and quite fascinating to look at. I saw that it was in the pantry, and I realised that it had come with some lollies and chocolates. These were all gone, however, so I stormed over to my brother and asked him if he had eaten them all. He said he had, and I got a bit mad at him.

Dream 2: I was at home after graduating from high school. My dad came in my room the day after and handed me a whole stack of pink flyers. He said they were related to the graduation so I picked one up and read it. It had a few photos of the graduation ceremony on it, but also it had a checklist about a dream contest. Intrigued, I looked at it and saw there were two streams, beginner and advanced. One was to recall at least 1 dream for 7 days in a row, the other was to have a dream about a particular place for 10 days in a row an on the last day or earlier get lucid.

Dream 3: I was on a train in a fancy carriage where a few friends and I were invited to the breakup party of Slice the Cake. I walked up to one of the members of the band and it turned out he was actually someone from the year below me in high school. He talked to me for a bit and then another member called for silence and then gave a speech.

Dream 4: I was playing Skyrim, somehow though I was out the back of my house carrying around an enchanted dragonbone sword which I had just got. I then was inside the game proper and looked around. I saw a long sloping hill to the right of me where I thought I needed to go, so I walked up there. About two thirds of the way up I saw a stone altar and a few guys around there. I charged in full of zeal and sliced them to bits, all under the watchful gaze of a giant who happened to be right near me. I sheathed my sword and looked around at the altar and the giant, then looked at the sky and saw these purple clouds moving across with sunbeams and crepuscular rays everywhere. It was quite beautiful.

Dream 5: I was studying a map of some kind, where there was a small waterfront village. One house had a pier going off into the semi frozen river, whereas the other house's pier was sunken, however it had a giant fishing net dipped into the river to catch fish.

Dream 6: I created a pasta dish for the Queen, who turned out to really enjoy it and call it 'the Italian dish'. I was then hired as a cook for the queen, which was thrilling.

Dream 7: I met up with some old friends who are now all at different universities. One of them was at Monash and said it really overrated and there was no support there. Another said that all of the old universities were on the way down and newer ones like Swinburne and Deakin were soon going to rival the best American universities.

Dream 8: I was driving through the city with my brother and dad. We were planning some sort of heist and buying all of these plastic bag like things. WE ended up at a very tall building and my dad unveiled the plan. We were going to eat our way through all 17 storeys and then fly out from the top using the plastic things as capes. He went first, keeping just ahead of the guards as he made it to the top. I think for some reason though he didn't jump out, maybe he ran out of plastic bags, so he got escorted back down to try again. I think I tried to do it as well but I don't know how I went.

Dream 9: I was on a train I believe and I approached a guy and asked him if he wanted to buy a house. I had $2 million dollars and I needed $4 million for house, or something like that. He seemed a it skeptical, but as he had the required money I told him I would cover part of the cost if he let me stay were he had been renting previously. After some deliberation he agreed, happy to live in his own home, so we settled on he agreement. Later I went to where he previously was, and saw it was basically a large shed with another guy in there. He had guns and flags on the walls and was on a motorised scooter. I was starting to regret my decision but the guy said everything was fine and the roommate looked scary but was really fine.

Dream 10: I was playing Skyrim, my brother came up to me and was complaining about how I was in Morthal instead of Markarth, whingeing about how it wasn't even a real city and stuff like that.

I was on a roadside with someone. It was deep within a forest. I thought that I'm hungry and that next passing truck should have some food. A truck appeared quickly and with the other person we jumped on top of it. The driver was heading towards nearby city, we were talking with him on our way. The other passenger, which I can't quite recall have taken a laptop out of the truck trailer and thought about taking one of these, buying it before it reached destination. I looked at the screen and saw that it traces it's position, so he'd have to get to a shop anyway. We reached the town. I checked how many money I have on my bank account, and it showed over nine millions. I still thought that I'm poor and can't afford anything though.

D1 - Trying to make some financial transactions but have to cross stepping stones round the side of a dark lake to get to bank Oo
D2 - Again on a lake, a father is dressed in a crown and a dress, he is swimming just off a little island, with a house on it. His daughter is talking to him. Ok?
D3- At work new people are being shown around, I follow them through corridors, past water coolers and potted plants.
D4 -Looking after a new class, will they do as I say? or will there be a mutiny? it's a close call. but all goes ok despite my nerves being on edge.
D5 - Repeating dream
List of classes in a book. I'm being asked if I have signed up for a xmas performance number. I have to choose and practise as the last minute, as per usual.

Preface:
Bed around 11:30 pm. Went to yoga, was exhausted and my body was/still is aching. I notice on the days that I am super tired, I don't recall my dreams very well at all. And...many activities deter dream recall, I am noticing....

FRAGMENT
I was working on something with a group of people. It was harmonious, no turbulence. And it was actually a first person dream. That's all I can recall.

Preface:
A lot of family happenings. One of them particularly disturbing. I'll comment at another time, but I am very worried about my niece.
As a result, I probably only slept a couple of hours. I was inside my mind all night.
A long time ago, I had a dream of a lady in a red cloak. She was most definitely a "she", even though her her face and body was that of a skeleton. I went to sleep with the idea that I wanted to find and talk to this spirit lady. I wanted to ask her so many questions- who she was, where she came from , etc.

DR 1
A curtain of black, and the cloaked lady came to me. I was so stunned that I couldn't ask her anything. Lucid for only a moment, I could feel her presence next to me. Then it was gone. She was gone and I floated into another dream that I do not recall.

I dreamed I was at a school trying to find a way to reach the inside, all the doors were gated. I came up on this group of people trying to smuggle weapons inside the school. After i told them I would not help them, they started shooting. They shot at me, they shot at the building, they shot cars, and just went nuts shooting in the air. Everyone ran out of the school and thats when I woke up.

Meesha kept up both me & my husband all night! So I don't remember even having a dream. I'm exhausted. So when she woke me up at 5am today I decided to feed her & play w/ her. I think she just needed some extra Meesha time.... Since we got her just around 3 wks ago she hasn't initiated the play, it was always us & now she's initiating the playing herself which is a good thing. I feel a lot better that she now feels part of our family.. So thankful we rescued her from the Humane Society. And I guess we also lucked out & got an actual purebread Maine Coon for such a low price. Anyway, I digress. I will attempt a nap today & hopefully I'll get a LD & successfully complete another challenge for the TOTM.
