I had an LD tonight. I went to bed around 8:30 pm for a nap but it took me some time to fall asleep, and I woke up at 10 pm. I rarely have LDs at night, but my sleeping times are messed up currently anyway. It started with some painful sensations like the last time but I was aware I was dreaming this time, and tried to get rid of them but couldn't but at least I knew they were not real, so I suffered less. Then I thought I woke up and realized it was false awakening and became conscious again, and false awakenings kept happening, probably 5 times. I tried to summon somethings each time, but it didn't always work. There was never a time enough to go with the flow and live a story or something but I had some fun in between them. I remember in one of the false awakenings, I thought that my body moved in real life while spinning in the dream. I thought that because when I woke up (not really, just a false awakening) I found myself in a weird position and floating! and that sounded realistic to me at the time until I realized later I was still dreaming.
11.07.2016That's How Much I Want This Job (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID So I'm currently job-hunting, and there's a particular job that should've gotten back to me this week--one that I want massively. The first part I remember is having to crawl across a large pipe above a huge pool of sewage. It stinks even worse than normal sewage I'm sure, and has a distinct vomit smell to it. I'm with three other people at least, split into two groups, though I don't think we're competing at this point. Me and a girl are taking it in turns to try and cross, but we fall off and into the sewage often. This then makes the pipe more slippery, and makes it harder and harder for us to not throw up ourselves. The girl is using a plate to throw up on so that it doesn't go directly onto the pipe. I don't throw up but I've never been able to taste such a horrific smell in my life. It even follows me into waking life when my alarm goes. I'm then in a skate park kind of setting, but instead of ramps there is a large multicoloured canvas stretching over about 200 square metres, and raised unevenly at various points, as if a sort of tent roof. I repeatedly (at least five times) climb up on one side and walk tentatively over what I deem to be the strongest parts to the other side, before jumping down and starting again. I do this in the hopes that it will help me get the job. There are two other people doing the same, far away from me, and one guy in particular I can see; he often picks up a skateboard and attempts to skate on it slowly. I worry that this will get him more points. Shortly after, in the same area, I'm on an astroturf pitch with various others a competing for the job. There is a coach-type figure, who will decide who gets it. Among the other applicants are some people I knew from school, but never really liked very much. I can't remember if there's anything he gets us to do, but I go off to the toilet, before worrying that I could be missing valuable time to impress the coach. I realise I've been complacent about my chances, and notice that there are still a lot of people in line to get the job. I dread to think of the people from my school getting it, as I feel they don't deserve it (they're not even in the same line of work as I am).
I was a monster from a movie that was destroying everything around and was extremely annoying. It was in some kind of flat with houses and administration offices. I was smashing every object and grabbing reach women, then kissing them.
night before: + a portion of the fence in our former CA home is missing, our dog could get out. I'm sizing up the boards we'll need to rebuild it. I'm walking around the perimeter of our yard. Turning the corner I see the fence is made out of metallic strips that are rustry/peeling paint, they need to be restored + cars like dune buggies are zipping around on a dirt road partially covered by snow. They are taking corners fast and skidding around. Something about they are supposed to be pulling carriages. Stop in front of a house in the country, a car has its hood open, its radiator is boiling/steaming and my son S2 is about to open the cap. He opens it and pours in water from a large water jug instead of ani-freeze. A large, naked woman steps into the engine compartment which contains a full-sized bathtub, she relaxes in the tub. My son moves to close the hood and I think this will trap her in there and it might get too hot. Another woman climbs in and there's a hole leading to the bathtub that will allow her to finger the woman in the tub. last night: + driving around talking to some woman about my former CA home. I say it was in the center of downtown "C..." [true]. The woman says "that's right on top of The Bomb!". I think she's talking about the earthquake fault line. I mention the house wasn't just a fixer-upper, it was a "rebuild-er". Arrive in some house walk in to the garden, wife is there, I'm looking at the flower/strange plants, different base/top, tall & spindly stems with flowers on the end + in some friend's house in a party situation. My wife arrives with our two young sons and has brought pizza. The pizza is wrapped in white paper and I'm unfolding them on low tables. There are more and more pizzas, this must have cost a lot. I see ham and mushroom. I'm looking for a pepperoni and find one, there are two large round pieces of pepperoni stacked one on the other on the slice I take. I then notice that the low tables/couches are all gone and there is a (3-4" diameter) hole in the floor, I look down in the hole and see the subfloor and think this was the work of [former colleague] RyHo (company "3"). I "know" this hole is where the underside of the couches connect to the floor so they're held in place. + I'm in a house with two guys, the owner and some professional guy. The owner is apparently gay and his partner guy comes home to see the other (professional) guy there and I think he may misunderstand and get jealous/sad, but the professional guy is there to cheer up the owner's BF. Then I'm the BF and in a bubble bath prepared by the professional. There are strange living being's faces strapped to my wrists. I put my hands under the water/bubbles and take them out and I notice the face on my right wrist's eye blinking away the suds. I think what a great idea this bath is and these things on my wrists also a great idea. + flying DO over a round platform/field covered with small black/white robot beings which are moving around. There are strange beasts rolling on the ground to the side, like a big tortoise with long legs leaning on its side and displaying some weird genitals underneath. I'm hugging the muzzle of some large animal like a horse or a big dog and kissing its snout. + I'm in a classroom sitting at a desk, there is some equipment like a pair of eyeglasses in front of me. The teacher for the class is telling us for next time we should upgrade to the "664" model of the glasses. I ask the teacher if the upgrade will be lasting for the remainder of our class. He says that actually the "564" model is good enough to last the rest of the class. +(f) I'm "backstage" with some beings in colorful robes. One of them is Satan. We're hugging each other. I'm a bit leery of Satan. This happens twice. +(f) in an area with two very long rows of picnic tables end-to-end. There are piles of clothing on them. I'm moving my clothing out of the way to clear room on the first set of tables. + I'm observing my dad playing a difficult war board game. He's playing the side of the underdog. Right at the start he places units which he says are grenade launchers with a secondary unit that increases the grenade launcher's efficacy. He also places another set of units in another place. I know that moving fast and playing aggressively at the beginning of the game is the underdog's only chance. I'm impressed with my dad's knowledge of the game and the characteristics of the various units.
I was with my aunt. She was attempting to show me some video of something on vhs. The video she put in looked like it was an after school special from the 1980s, and as we let it play it became apparent that the teenagers on the video were talking about being gay. It wasn’t the video she had hoped to show me, but before she could remove it my grandfather (her father)whom had been in the room— played by no other than George Bush Senior in this dream- became upset and started lecturing my aunt on how it was wrong to be gay, why would she play a tape like this, etc. I tried to step in and said that young people think differently now, and that there was nothing wrong with it. He listened with a concerned but not angry look on is face, and then tried to explain to me why it was wrong. He asked me if I was an artist, I said yes and that I was pretty left-leaning in general. I said didn’t know what it was like to fight in a war but maybe some people he fought with were gay. (Thinking of Bush’s WWII days I guess) He tried to list statistics and I forget what happened after that. There was an open door to the outside and I heard the sound of a hawk. I knew before I looked the it was a baby hawk, and I went and picked it up and moved it over to a ‘safe’ place on the edge of a parking lot with other little baby birds. Later I was handed a kitten, and I walked round with it and showed it to people. My husband and I were on a trip in Europe. We were at the beginning of a many-legged-flight. The plane almost left me behind. Instead of being inside of the plane my perspective was from the rear outside of the plane and as if I were laying in bed. We were in the air for what seemed like five minutes when the pilot began the landing procedure. I felt the plane speed up tremendously as we descent, and we landed on a cobblestone or brick road in between to long rows of cargo shipping containers. The plane drove along this road until we reached the sea, and the he stopped the plane perched on a semi-steep rock, so as passengers exited they had to step partially in water and then climb up a wet, slippery rock. The pilot laughed at us. We had landed in Spain or Greece (people were saying both) though it looked more like a town from a fantasy novel. The sun was setting and the sky was pink. There were giant, intricate marble statues of animals and trees all around. I was taking photographs. Some people went into a convenience store. Thoughts: Hmm. A conservative patriarchal figure. The subject of homosexuality broached. Baby birds. Traveling, planes, statues. I keep wondering if any of this was spawned by something I watched on television recently. Especially the George Bush part. WTF was he doing here? He sort of reminded me of someone…not my father or grandfathers…I can’t place it. This just occurred to me—I wonder if he was supposed to represent my aunt’s real father (my Mom's real father), who passed away when she was three and before I was born. He was conservative and religious, and he fought in the Korean war. My grandmother had remarried when I was very young so the man I knew as my grandfather on the side was my mother’s step-father. The giant marble statues almost seemed like Gods. I have thought a bit about mythology recently, and perhaps I was scanning the gods from above in my mind in this dream.

I was hanging out with some people. An office. I was being chased by my classmates from high school. I was with a male friend, but they're after our "group." (not sure what group) Two of my classmates chased me and my friend in a forest-like area that's reminiscent of USLS's small forest near the coliseum. Friend said he'll draw them off, but I worried that they'll still chase me. For some reason, they didn't. After a while, one did. I was trying to post on social media that I'm being chased and including the names but I didn't know yet who were chasing me until they got close enough. I was avoiding one taking the phone away while I was running and typing.
I was checking something online, not sure why or what anymore. Remember that while typing became lucid due to the light feeling of my fingers. As soon as I became lucid decided it was time to take on the challenge thing again, but didn't quite remember what was exactly the goal for now and just teleported to that place before it was too late. When I first arrived, had some trouble thinking about what I had to do, clearly recalled that I had to only use two powers, one of them being use of hair and the other one being the ability to store energy within things, such as the hair so yeah. Look down and see the robe I had before, then look up and see some kind of forest... forest... OH YEAH! Forest giant, it is nowhere to be seen and the only obvious sign of it is some kind of big footprint on the floor next to a destroyed village. "Yo!" say to the people on the village and ask them where exactly the giant is moving towards the city, or at least they say that it was like an hour ago and start to complain about me being a terrible hero, meh. Move using my hair over to the city and when I arrive, see other people fighting the big giant, it is made of moss that for some reason reacts to my power, so assume that is the hair of the giant, alright. Use my robes and transform them fully while hovering above the giant and then create a giant spear, making the hair condense enough for it to pierce through and wait for a bit because the silly giant is moving a lot and I don't have enough energy to spam the spears. One of the heroes from teh association is aware of my movements and makes the giant stop moving by hitting it with a barrage of attacks from below, then just pierce and start to absorb the power of the giant and make it onto a nice pair of boots then go down to the other heroes. We start to talk and try to repair the problems with the destruction caused by the giant, and then discover that it was sent by some kind of alien... alright? They start to send more and the hero I was with knows that I can fight them off, so sends me over to the aliens. When I arrive they make a giant descend upon me and quickly destroy it using the hair of the last giant to break the new one from the inside out, then make the hair go upwards and bring down three of the ships. The rest run away quickly and then send down some kind of zombies which will explode soon and kill a lot of people. I try to take them down along with the other heroes, but we can't hurt them at all they just regenerate. Some other hero says he hears something and recognizes the zombies, they are actually our own people! They tell us that they need their heart to be eaten in order to get killed and not explode and me, not having enough hair to protect everyone or move them start to munch down the chest of the zombies and lament myself for not having my other powers with me in order to make it not taste like rotting meat... or fresh meat f or some of them, EWWWW.
I'm in a burned down forest. Nothing is left standing. The place has (somehow) been flooded as well. I don't remember feeling any cold from the water. I'm not sure if I was standing in it or on it. There's an orangutan trapped below the water. I think because he's somehow stuck under a tree trunk. I'm not sure if he's still alive. I think I see some movement. Above the water level are two straws. I consider giving them to him, for him to use to get some air. Will he know what to do with it though? And will it even work well enough, considering how thin they are? The final question I ask myself is if I wouldn't just be extending his suffering and giving him false hope, as there isn't really a way out. The fact that the Borneo orangutang is now critically endangered got thrown into my face a lot yesterday.
