I completed two Tasks of the Month last night. My lucid moment was tucked in the middle of a bunch of other dreams and I don't remember what exactly lead up to lucidity or how it faded.


I do remember that I was lucid and wanting to do the Tasks. I thought of the one to taste in my mouth whatever I had eaten last. At first I didn't think I could do this since I didn't remember eating anything in the dream. But I tried anyway. I worked my tongue around in my mouth until I noticed that I had some crackers in my mouth...mostly in my teeth, as if I had just chewed one up and swallowed most of it. It tasted like a butter cracker, and what was left was kind of smooth and slippery.

Then I decided to do the other task which was to stretch your arms and seeing how far they could reach. I noticed I was on a road or alley. I could see walls on either side of the road. They were about 20 (or more) feet apart. I figured this would work nicely. I started with my right arm I reached out toward the wall. Since I had never tired this before I wasn't sure how easy or hard this would be. I just concentrated in my hand touching the wall. I could see it getting closer until finally I could feel the wall. I pressed my hand against the wall and then held out my left hand. I did the same thing, focusing on my hand touching the other wall. It didn't take long until that hand was pressed up against the wall as well.

It didn't really feel like I was stretching, but I could see both hands on the walls that were 20 or so feet apart. So I had accomplished the task. It was cool to know that I had the ability to do that.

Dream:

I was going to Antelope Canyon with my friend M. I had driven us there and now we were waiting for our tour guide. Suddenly we see V. She tells us she had just gotten off a tour but wanted to come on our tour with us. I looked at M to see how she would react. I knew she and V had an unspoken competition going on for the number of times going through Antelope Canyon among other things. M was keeping a straight face so I couldn't tell what she was thinking.

Suddenly the tour guide came. I realized that I hadn't put my hiking boots on. I also had a pile of things that needed to go back in the car. I didn't want to keep everyone waiting, so I told them to go on and I would catch up. I quickly got my boots on and took the stuff to the car and locked it. As I headed to find the others I noticed that I had left another pile of things I needed to put in the car. I picked them up and went back to the car...only to find I had locked the keys in the car. What would I do now. I couldn't take all this stuff with me on the hike. But I also couldn't leave it behind unprotected.

I finally found that one of the car doors hadn't shut all the way, so I was able to get in and get my keys and lock it again. I rushed off to find my friends.

Typical dream problems...

I've gotten a little behind again. I've been having some pretty interesting dreams, but I haven't written most of them down, so they are pretty much gone now.

I do remember a lucid dream I had a few days ago. I did two of the Tasks of the Month...from last month. I hadn't gotten on and read the new tasks yet, so in my mind I was still thinking of the tasks I never completed last month.

Dream:

I don't remember what I was doing. I may have been flying or standing on something high. I suddenly knew I was dreaming so I swooped down flying and immediately thought about completing the tasks of the month that I had been wanting to do, which were to drain the color out of something and to eat something inedible.

I landed next to a table that reminded me a little of my dad's model train table when I was little. I saw a lot of plastic items on the table. I wasn't sure what they were, but that didn't matter--I was going to drain their color. I started by focusing on this smooth rounds red thing. In just a few seconds it had faded to grey. I had known this would be easy.

I then focused on a yellow item. Then blue. Each time willing them to lose their color. I was satisfied by that point.

I then decided to look for something inedible to eat. I saw a small empty soda can, the kind that is about half as tall as the regular ones. I stuffed the whole thing in my mouth. I was glad it was not the full sized can. It took some work to crush it with my teeth. I got it condensed down quite flat...as if I had stepped on it. I kept chewing. I wondered if it would ever get small enough for me to swallow it. I was pretty sure that was required to be able to count it.

At this point I noticed the dream fading. I couldn't let that happen. I'm not sure what I did but the dream came back. I still had the can in my mouth. I continued to chew. I was happy to notice that is was finally dissolving. I felt the metal pieces in my mouth get smaller and smaller until they were gone.

I may have been talking to someone next. I think I was telling them how I am good at changing things in my dreams. I had out my left arm. I said that I would make it big. I watched it grow until it was cartoonishly large. Next I made it skinny until it almost looked like a stick figure arm.

I felt satisfied at my accomplishments.

And that's all I remember.

I had a bad non-lucid. My first husband's dad told me that my ex died & my husband was comforting me in the dream. I woke up sad, even though he did unforgivable things to me & my kids there will always be some connection to him. I did ask God to forgive him for his sins after I woke up just in case this was a kind of sign that this will happen..... I have a fever right now & have a million of things to do to prepare for my trip which I can't talk about yet to people about. Being sick is really bad timing.

I have been trying to prep for:
Advanced Task i - Find platform 9 and 3/4 at Kings Cross Station and run through the wall. (WaltersDreams)
Advanced Task ii - Create an imaginary friend in the dream that no one else can see or interact. (Sensei)

I added this video for the Platform 9 & 3/4:

https://youtu.be/KWcxgrg4eQI

Still having trouble inserting video so if someone could help with that, it would be nice. I chose the insert video & put the link in and got this which I don't think will display more than the link. Sigh.

I got spooked out in this dream and woke up earlier. I have a feeling that if I didn't panic it would have been longer but I kind of got scared. Almost felt like I was in the twilight zone.

I don't remember where it started but I recall being in a room with Dawn. While he was there I followed him and held onto him excited to have him by my side. But than I made this weird comment when I saw these pencil sharpeners to him. :/ So after that awkward moment I walked with him somewhere but I think I ended up back on the bed. That's when I got stuck and tried to get up but it wasn't working so I didn't force it and just lay down. There was something happening as I lay down above me. I think there was something flying around but I don't recall.

Than I appeared in my real room. But I couldn't move. I was also very sweaty and covered in blanks. As I tried to open my eyes it was now shutting. I thought maybe my real body was very hot and sweaty and didn't remember if the room temperature was okay. The dream was confusing me more by making me slowly shift into another dream scene. But I made it stop than tried calling my mom with my real voice. Like make my real body say something. But that didn't happen. Instead a dream mom came to my side. I cut her with an imaginary sword, poofing her away.

What followed after that was thinking if I put my life in danger by too many blankets. I honestly thought what if I died by heat stroke. Stupid dream made me worried by its visuals. I thought I wouldn't be able to wake up because my body was slowly gonna die. I than heard a high pitch girl voice call me so I followed her voice and saw a small stand with a writing board with paper on it."can you read this?"she asked eagerly. I looked at the storyboard and in the first box there was a goldfish, in the second looked like a setting and third as well. Under the picture boxes was a number of 1,2,3. There were words next to them such as cafe, fun and something else. I said in a cheery, fun mood a story that had to deal with the words and pictures. I said it pretty quick but the girl seemed to like it since she praised me for doing a good job.

She than told me to move to the computer. I got distracted by the other dream characters talking in the next room. They were small and looked like animal chibis. The one that I think was a goat kept asking the crab what he should do, that he didn't know what to do because his wife suddenly came and some other stuff. The crab was listening for a bit but asked him "what?"with a confused,somewhat grumpy attitude. The goat than tried explaining again.

I looked at the computer and saw things on the screen. There was even a chibi goat on the paper that said "Happy". Because as I was looking the girl was telling me how happy she was that I was doing so well. She than asked me to read what was on the screen but the dream's realism made me panic. I didn't want my body to be hot, I didn't want to die in a dream, and I was starting to get anxious about being anxious. I breathed in and out and said out loud I was panicking so I could get some comfort but the dream characters kept talking with each other. I didn't hear the girl anymore. But after a bit of breathing in and out I woke up.

I had this dream a few days ago and then last night I had a continuation of this dream.

So i was walking down the street from my college and this person in a black coat, who had his hood on and it was so dark under the hood I couldn't see their face, walked up to me, handed me a piece of paper then ran away. I unfolded it and it said "the path to the fourth dimension" and it gave me directions.

So i decided to follow them and it led me to this huge church but it wasn't a traditional church with a main room and pews, it was just like a mansion. The walls were a deep blue color and everything else was gold, the chandeliers, the doors, the banisters, etc. I took a few steps inside and someone came over to me and asked if i wanted to join their church and i declined and said i was just passing through. The person gave me a "i know what your doing" smile and said "explore as you wish" and then walked away.

I was still following the directions so i walked down some stairs and then walked out a completely glass door. I was outside behind the church now and it was about midday. The directions led me across the grass to a building that looked like an academic building. I walked inside and it was just a long hallway and the ceiling was tall enough to fit a giant. I walked down the hallway and the walls began to shake and a bright light from the end of the hallway was rapidly getting closer and then it enveloped my entire vision and then retreated and i was in a very small tunnel and i walked out and it was like i was back in the 18th century or something because there were cobblestone streets and carriages and old shops.

At first, i though i traveled back in time but then i noticed there were no people but there were animals that were walking and talking like humans. No one seemed alarmed that i was existing in their world. I walked into a little shop and there was a hippo at the counter, he took one look at me and said "here you need this" and handed me a rock then said "don't come back here if you value your life."

I walked out of the store confused and went back to the tunnel and walked in and the same thing happened again (the walls shook and the light enveloped my vision) and then i was back in the academic building but this time it was dark out. I was only in the other dimension for a few minutes but hours passed in the real world. I woke up after that.

Then last night i had the dream where i remember walking back to the church while it was nighttime and i walked through it then when i got outside in the back, two of my friends were running to this place down the hill, it looked like a giant outdoor party and they asked if i wanted to come with and i said no. I tried going back to the academic building but the doors were locked and i couldn't get in. I then decided to join my friends at the party but then i woke up.

Fragments

I recall several nightmare fragments. I was sneaking around abandoned and haunted buildings, dark corridoors infested with undead. I was defenseless, trying to stealthily follow a wraith in blood-red cloak.

Dream

It was in some kind of a ruined fortress filled with undead monstrosities. With group of other people I tried to battle my way through trenches and reach a lair of a hag. Skeletons were shooting with their bows from afar, trying to kill us. Avoiding their arrows, I've run up the trenches and up a hill to fortress' entrance. I tried to destroy a force field surrounding a hag sleeping in her bed, but I couldn't break through.

Suddenly I found myself in a dark room with few dudes from my class. They were grinning strangely. I had a weird thought that it's a lucid dream, what's more - a multiple one.

Then I was back at the fortress, fighting my way to a hut of a sage where I found a rod that shot with blue, spiral beam. I used it to destroy the force field and kill the hag.

at all

Preface:
A lot of exercise lately. Allergy problems prevail, so I took benadryl last night again. My body is sore today.

Fragment
I am rubbing my arms and forearms.

DR 1

I'm with my sister, and we've been arrested. I've done something terrible (killed or hurt someone) and I am in a lineup on a platform. There are odd characters in the lineup and nobody looks like me. A few minutes later my sister is released and she tells me not to worry. She leaves for a while, and I can see her- talking with her children and my mom. I start to wonder if things will be okay, and if I will make it out. I am still standing on the platform, waiting for someone to tell me what my fate will be.

The next thing you know, the lighting changes and the whole platform moves to a mall. We are in the middle of the mall, and I am still on the platform. I climb down. We are very close to a McDonald's and my sister has bought the kids some food. They are running around excitedly, and then she tells me she has a surprise. Its a little dog- tiny puppy that is brown and black. I pick him up and hug him and tell them that he is so cute. I am really happy but I keep wondering if I am going to be arrested or taken away for my wrongdoings.

Preface:
Mother's Day, so i finally got some much needed rest. Hung around with my mom all day on Sunday, so a lazy day. Allergies are giving me headaches, but taking benadryl at night. Its been affecting my dreaming, though not so much the recall. I think I'm recalling more.

DR 1
I am visiting a house that, supposedly, I used to live in long ago. My mom is there with me, in the background. I walk into the kitchen and there is a huge table that appears to be a display table, with three tiers. On each of the tiers, there are red and white cakes and assorted pies. I am excited, but my mom acts as if she already knows about them, but it super happy. I am buzzing around and looking at all the old rooms.

I begin to reminisce in one of the rooms, thinking about furniture and things..because now the carpet has been pulled up and there is only foam padding underneath.

I come back to the kitchen and most of the cakes are gone. I ask my mom where they are and she tells me that she gave them away to her old co-workers. I become highly upset , so upset and start crying- telling her that she never thinks about me.

As I am crying, i go back to my "old bedroom". I notice there is a trap door in the floor. I know that there is water in the room below the door, so I don't go near it. My mom comes into the room, she's wearing Ugg boots, and she asks me if I'm ok. She notices that there is water in the corner of the room. She steps toward it and I can see that the water is above her ankles, but she is wearing boots so its ok. She goes towards the trap door. I tell her there is water underneath, but she doesn't care. She opens it and we hear like a bump- a deafening rolling noise...and then a wave of water rushes up from the floor, but then, a huge wooden table top rolls up from the door in the floor and stops almost right in front of us...then a second, and finally a third. Then, a small wooden box with a gold padlock washes in. My mom and I stand speechless. Everything is then silent.

I remember very little about last night, something about being in a grocery store and that's it. My brain was going a million miles an hour yesterday as we ran around all day and I was exhausted so I didn't think to take any notes during my normal 4am waking.

May goal: 1/20 LDs

bedtime 11pm ish. Family drama in the evening, hooray, that always kills dreaming for the night.

+ (impression) something about mailing a package

+ I enter into a room, it's a party in a house (mine?) where people are eating pizza everywhere. In the kitchen? The pizza is plain cheese but with a nice crunchy crust that looks really good (I eat some?). I'm fiddling with plates of different foods on a counter and a guy comes up and while I'm cutting an apple tart thing he says s.l. "will there be any entrees left for me?" I cut the tart into 4 pieces instead of just two and say "see, here's something for you."

+ We're going on a tennis vacation. My former lesbian manager and her girlfriend [TRUE] are going and they're good at tennis [FALSE] and are taking their rackets. Should I take mine? This is really bugging me I don't know if I should take my racket and play them. Would I play them Australian doubles or just 2-on-1 or one at a time? I suppose I could just go there and rent a racket on-site, right?

+ some kids (dirty, from poverty-stricken homes perhaps) are scrambling by me. One of them climbs into a mobile plastic medium-sized dumpster. I close the lid on him as a joke. Then I feel bad and open it.

+ I'm sitting at a table with friends [FALSE] when a jumpy little black guy (seems like Chris Rock) comes up and tries to get me to participate in his money game on his tablet. I remember [FALSE] that he tried this before so I decline. Another friend of mine declines. The third accepts, and taps a picture on the tablet, and wins like $50. Then he taps the middle picture and wins several hundred dollars. Then he taps the bottom button and wins like $23,000,000 dollars. CRAP, that could have been ME I think. The game guy will split the money with the guy who played. That's still quite a lot of money.

Well, with all that money, might as well enjoy some drinks. I try to think of and order the most expensive drink of all time [FALSE]. And I get frustrated that I can't think of it or remember its name. It is some mixed drink with a lot of ingredients. "It has the most expensive vodka, and the most expensive..." and I can't remember the kind of alcohol I'm trying to think of at first..."oh yeah, most expensive Scotch." The waitress goes off to consult with management about this drink I'm talking about. After a while she comes back and I've moved position at the table, and she places down about 3-4 "drinks" in front of me that are in containers like diner salt and pepper shakers.

+ (f) I'm sitting with a male midget on my lap, and I rest my hand on his leg which is on top of mine. I think he actually may not like that.

May 10 - 11, 2016: Dream 3 of 3: I am on a beach which I initially think is on Long Island, but clearly it is not because I spy a sea turtle laying her eggs in a dug out hole just before I step on her. I conclude I am on vacation on a tropical island. I move backwards without looking to give the turtle room and privacy, and fall into yet another hole in the sand. Luckily, I fall onto the outer rim of the hole. I prop myself on my elbows and heels while still on my back and move away as if I were a crab. At my feet I see the first of many heads pop out of the sand. Baby turtles in large numbers appear from beneath the sand, blink their yellow mucus filled eyes as if the sun is too bright, and then begin to scramble off towards the water's edge. One of the babies momentarily flips onto its back, exposing his white belly in its haste to get to the water. Its tiny flippers are flapping furiously until it rights itself. All this activity comes to the attention of multiple people on the beach who have now gathered to watch. Unfortunately, seagulls have also noticed the turtles and several of the babies get snatched up and flown away. I say something aloud to the crowd about “that is how nature is.”

After a while when the activity has wound down, I go walking along the water's edge. I come across yet another turtle, but this one is fully submerged at the water's edge, head towards the sea. Her egg-laying tube is immensely long - about 2 1/2 feet. She remains fully underwater while laying her eggs in what appears to be a natural cave-like hole beneath my feet. An official uniformed conservation manager shows me what is really going on. There is a man made contraption buried into the sand for this very purpose in order to keep the turtle and her eggs safe. He opens the lid and leans it back so that I can see inside. There are 40 or so blue opalescent eggs with white streaks that look like they are made of ultra smooth, shiny, polished stone. They are magnificent. Almost jewel like. The turtle is dropping them into this "cave" at a slow steady pace.

I eventually move on and arrive at a sturdy wooden kiosk like structure at the top of the beach well away from the water. A woman and two men occupy the shady space about 6 feet off of the ground. I call up a question to the woman employee. "How is it possible for the eggs to survive underwater in the absence of oxygen?" I ask her if there is some type of metabolic process going on inside the egg that produces oxygen for the embryos. I give her an example of a carbohydrate breaking down into a simple sugar plus a water molecule and ask her if the oxygen atom from two molecules of water can disassociate then come together inside the egg to produce a molecule of oxygen? She says to me "That's a great question!" She picks up a rectangular shaped microphone from her desktop and speaks into it. "Attention.... Attention.... Attention Google." She then repeats my question into the microphone as if she is querying Siri. I wake. 5:14am.

No recall from last night

Dream - Lucid

I decided after I woke up from this dream to jot it down in my phone so as to keep it fresh in my memory, and it worked great. I remember more of this dream than I have of any dream in quite some time.

The setting was some sort of school. We were in a classroom, and it was daytime outside. I was not a participant in this dream, but an observer. I watched this mentally-challenged kid of maybe 19-23 years of age interact with his beautiful girlfriend, the sister of a girl I knew IWL who passed away in a car accident in 2012. He was wearing a suit or tuxedo, had dark brown, short hair, and he spoke and acted slowly. The sister, Liz, loved this boy just as much as he loved her. I could see and feel how much they loved each other. The love they had was so pure, something of a rarity to be sure. I saw them together in the classroom, just sitting with one another. The boy was going to ask Liz to marry him.

Then, I saw this scene of the boy's dad teaching him how to have sex? Like the boy was on top of his dad, but it was understood by me that this was not meant to be perverted at all by either the dad or the boy. I assumed he was teaching him so he would know when the time came with Liz. This was more like a flash back, as I understood that Liz and the boy had already had sex.

Liz thought she might look fat or pregnant. This part was in my notes and I remember it, but not much about it.

There was a little more involving the boy and Liz, but I can't remember details.

Then, dream shift. I'm in a stand up shower stall with my husband. It was in a public place, but I'm not sure what kind. I looked in the full-length mirror in the shower and I was wearing a long maxi skirt and a mid-drift top. The color scheme of both was red and blue. Looking at myself while facing the mirror, my hips looked a little wider, but my tummy looked flat. Turning to the side, I could see that I looked fat or pregnant. I felt slightly exposed and uncomfortable in the outfit, as I still have baby weight on me. I wasn't sure why I was wearing a mid-drift.

Then, we were under the running water in the shower, naked. I was washing Dallas's back with my loofah. He was then lying face-down on the shower floor, and I continued to wash his back. A college-aged black girl with glasses then walked in the shower, saw us, and turned around, apologizing. She then noticed the time and said
"Oh, it's only 10:45!"
She then left the room. I guess we had until 11am to shower or something.
