Bedtime: 10:30 pm WBTB: 4:00 am (awake about 20 mins) Technique: DILD Notes: This dream occurred before my WBTB alarm. This is the second time in the last couple weeks where I used an induction technique WITHIN a dream to become lucid. Very strange. I am at my dad's house. I am with my family in the living room. I decide to see if I can fall asleep on the floor (in the dream) and have a lucid dream. I use an LD technique to enter a lucid dream. As I enter the new dream, I become fully lucid. I am in an unfamiliar city. I remember I still want to cause an earthquake for the bonus task, so I ask the dream directly for an earthquake. Nothing happens, so I tell myself to give it time and explore the dream. I wander around a junk yard full of old cars. I see an attractive man in one of the cars. He has a large dog, possibly a pit bull, in the back seat. I climb in the car to pet the dog and talk to the man. I feel attracted to the man, so decide to kiss him. The erotic feelings cause the dream to begin collapsing so I get out of the car quickly before I wake myself up. I ask the dream again for an earthquake. Again, nothing happens so I continue to explore. I enter a large office building. I go up several levels and look out the windows, hoping to see some sign of an earthquake. Nothing. I try to remember the other July tasks. I recall the task to prank a DC. I don't feel comfortable pranking my DC's, but decide to give it a try anyway since I can't figure out the earthquake situation. I see a man dressed in a suit standing by a drinking fountain. I walk up behind him and pull down his pants. He turns to me surprised and perplexed. I apologize, and explain that I am working on my LD tasks. I then offer to let him pull my pants down so we are even. He agrees and pulls my pants down. We laugh, then I experience an awkward moment of erotic feelings. I immediately leave, again afraid of the dream collapsing. I go downstairs to what appears to be the company cafeteria. I see several familiar faces. I decide to approach another male DC and ask his opinion about monthly LD tasks. He seems interested, and goes on to explain how interesting it would be to explore religions symbols for the TOTM. I am intrigued, but wonder if that is too philosophical for some people. I ask another DC what he thinks would be a fun TOTM. He says he would really like to see people picking raspberries. I consider this, amused. I then continue approaching people. I ask the next DC if she has heard anything about an earthquake. She shows me a newspaper with a headline saying scientists expect an earthquake to occur sometime that day. This encourages me. I then see my ex-boyfriend in the crowd. I tell him we are dreaming and we can do anything. He is amused and agrees to go exploring with me. I show him how to jump and fly over the tables to exit the building. The DCs get agitated by our flight and begin a food fight among themselves. I am then woken up by my alarm.
07.07.2016 (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID This dream might have been right after the FA from the past dream, because the WILD grogginess is there at the beginning. I am walking through my high school. It's been years since I last came here. I feel really tired and just wanna make it to my car. Someone stops me on the hallway and asks if I have permission to be here. A distinctive, familiar voice from behind me says "Emilio is fine, I invited him as a guest speaker", it is Mr. Dawood, god that man doesn't age. He grins at me and it makes me feel like I am Harry Potter and Dumbledore is getting me out of trouble. I speak with him shortly, then continue on to the parking lot. I get to my car, and a van in front of me is backing up and hits a girl (lightly). The girl starts crying, out of fear, I guess. Her and her friends go ape-shit-crazy on the van tearing anything and everything they can get their hands on. The driver, a 40 something y/o mom gets out crying and apologises. I drive off. I am at the club, for some reason my mom is there. I think it was a restaurant during the day and she was just paying her bill. I want to order an smirnoff (wtf, shoulda been my cue that it's a dream. I'm more of a Scotch and beer kinda guy) but can't recall the name. The bartender, a gay asian guy, helps me remember the drink's name, Smirnoff, and hands me one. I see Ariana walking around so I go and talk to her. I am telling her about the San Diego trip and how much she missed, as she was originally gonna come too. We are catching up, then Frani (her ex-best friend, with whom I had a summer fling 4 summers back) comes and says hi to me with a hug and a kiss on the cheek, but completely ignores Ariana, then leaves. Ariana rolls her eyes and we keep talking. Dani is also here and we get into a competition of 1-legged squats. We hear screams and explosions everywhere and suddenly I am in a Zombie Apocalypse/game. There are Tanks everywhere and they are just ripping people apart. I am outside and there's a lot of buildings nearby, but it will be hard to go into one as I am surrounded. One of the Tanks stomps the ground and people fall out of the apartments and they are no longer safe. I see a Tank grabbing a person, tossing them towards a Witch, and the Witch slicing them in half with a Scythe, spilling blood everywhere. I decide to make a run for it and head to a building. I dodge a Tank by sliding between his legs, and then dodge 3 regular zombies. I get to the gates and the security guard opens it for me, then slams it shut behind me. I run up the stairs and find an open apartment. I go in, there's a guy about my age. We talk about how it seems this is it, this is the end. The Tanks start stomping and everything starts shaking. I see people through the window falling to the street, but we're safe. We hear alarms and a voice saying it is over, we have defeated the horde. I ask the guy what his name is, it's Andres too. I grab a notebook that he has on his table and start going through it. It's a Dream Journal; he prints out his dreams and sometimes draws them. I think it's neat. I ask him how long he's been into lucid dreaming and he says he gave up a while ago. I explain to him I had quit but I was getting back into it and had 3 in week and a half. He seems amazed. I grab his number and we plan to go clubbing the next day. I am getting ready to go clubbing, my hair is super long, I can't believe it's grown so much since I shaved it a month ago. I am with Diego and Jesus. We take a cab and then wait for the Party Bus. Andres (whom I met yesterday) arrives and I introduce him to my friends, then Andres Nuņez arrives and says hi to everyone. We get in the Party Bus and realize there's 3 Andres's, and the other two look a lot alike. Andres N. as per usualy makes everyone laugh with silly jokes.
07.07.2016 (SSILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I woke up about 5 hours after going to sleep. I was too sleepy to get out of bed so I just went on fb on my phone, I browsed for 25 minutes and then laid on my back to attempt SSILD. I did the short cycles in about minute and a half, and then started the long cycles. I had drifting thoughts but made it to about cycle 4 before losing consciousness. Next thing I know I'm feeling SP set in so I lay still, wait a minute or two, then plug my nose. Even though I was 100% sure that I had RC'd too early and woken myself up, air went through. I decided to check again, just in case, as I didn't want to end up in the news "crazy guy jumps out the window in the middle of the night". RC'd confirmed again it was a dream. I get out of bed and feel the usual WILD grogginess; it is early dawn and my room is still dark. I rub my hands together and look at them, there's always something odd about them in lucid dreams. I grab my phone, feel its texture, its weight, and the dream feels more stable now. I sit on the floor, for a moment it felt like I was gonna go straight through it but the floor stops me. I shout "MORE CLARITY" and wonder whether that even makes sense, but it seems to work. My room is lighter by now. My dog Fiona comes in and starts wagging her tail at me and resting her face on my leg as she usually does. I wonder why it is that my dogs always show at my lucid dreams, and think there is a slight possibility that maybe we are shared dreaming. I think "I have no idea what I want to do right now" and then laugh at how silly that is to think in a lucid dream. I run towards the window and jump out, going through it as I used to do back in the day (or back when I used to lucid dream, really). I start flying and get a rush of adrenaline. Everything goes white but I am still 100% conscious in the lucid dream. It feels like it's something with my eyes, so I just remain calm. By the time I regain my sight I am in my backyard. The sky is amazing, a mixture of Vanilla, orange, and purple. I run off and start flying again, I fly towards the soccer field and enjoy the feeling of it. I missed this. I think of my goal; since my gf is away for 3 months I thought might as well pay her a visit and have some sexy time. I walk along the street and go into the first car I see, expecting to find her inside. Conveniently, the first car I see is a van (spacious). I go in, and sure enough she's in there. We undress eachother and have sexy time. For some reason I lost my sight yet again, and it took about 20 seconds to get it back. I have a FA in which my mom comes into my room to check on me and I pretend to be asleep.

Nothin
Dreamt invot drafted to iraq. Was in a huge stadium with obama giving a speech. Was at a funral. Hit on a girl at peetes coffe
The dream started when I rode in a car to the house of my late grandmother (mom's side) who passed away six months ago. From there the telephone rang as I was told that I had a dentist's appointment soon. A week later in the living room of my dad's house, I sit in the recliner in the living room asking my dad if he had any money to pay for a plane ticket, as it was all the way on the West Coast in Los Angeles. Dad had his TV tray with his big laptop on the table and his female friend who visits was sitting on the couch. A few weeks later in the dream, I find myself in Los Angeles...but unfortunately, it looks like downtown Raleigh. I hear a rendition of Ain't It Fun by the band Paramore that is the work of British pianist Sam Yung (it's also on YouTube), and just as soon as the first verse ends (when he stops playing for a few seconds), the actual song's chorus plays with band frontwoman Hayley Williams' vocals just like it sounded on the band's 2013 self-titled album (which I enjoy, by the way), bass, electric guitar, percussion and all. I remember saying something about copyright. I also remember being on a bus near the back when I heard it. I suddenly have this feeling where there really wasn't a dentist's appointment in LA and that I may have been tricked. As soon as I heard Williams' vocals, I jumped and felt a funny feeling in my right leg and stomach. (I think this may have been my first lucid in a while.) I remember dreams I've had from 2013-15 where towns and cities in southern California (Los Angeles (twice), Hemet High School, but one scene later) look like places in North Carolina that I may have been before (dentist's office in 2013, downtown Raleigh in 2014 and a random section in Wal-Mart in 2015 that looks like none of the stores I've visited in the state), leading me to think the two states are fighting over me and/or my writing works. I've also had Paramore dreams before, but Williams' hair has been different colors than the trademark red or orange. (I credit the Carmen Sandiego series of computer games (I saw the game show on PBS first when I was younger) for inspiring me to do research on the two states in 1998-99 in the 7th grade.)
I am at work talking to someone I am I do not know at my manager office. He leaves and I go check at the beo to see what needs to be done for tommorow. As I am doing so, I am interrupted by my mother who then walks pass me. I'm wondering why she is here intill the person who runs the human resources showed up and ask me how is my head doing. Before I can respond entirely I see she is trying to lift one of the 6ft classroom tables. So I offer to help lift it to her office. It felt way lighter than it should be I thought, but I decided to just go with it. I then enter her office to see my brother and father both sitting down. I attempt to place the table down but the table legs that are meant to hold it were bent for some odd reason. I told the captain human resources that I will come back with a better table. I walk out and notice all the tables were distorted or just plain broken. I lose track of my thoughts and just left the building walking outside on the side walk for a minute or two. Thinking about nothing at all in till it hit me. I felt like I should be doing something but didn't knew what it was. I stood there for a long good second and it hit me. I was suppose to be getting tables , the urge to get a table was too strong to the point where I woke up. But it was truly a false awakening. I look around and got out of my bed. I enter in my bathroom and notice my mirror is reflecting differently then it normally would. I look at my hands and did a nose RC. I knew I am dreaming but lost lucidity fairly quickly .
Something like 5 hours of insomnia starting at bed time. Irritated by the tiniest of sounds, usual sounds like cars driving by. Get up to read at about 4 hours for about an hour. Back to bed, still slow to sleep manage to sleep. + PTL former home digging in garage for Suzuki motorcycle, I see it, think about riding it again, will it start the gas will be super old inside it, pull things out of the way, then I can't find it, my wife told some guy to take it away, I'm infuriated and pin the guy up against the house with my right hand fiercely pinching his cheeks. I'm (lying on top of?) looking down into some garbage pit where soil is churning and gas bubbles are rising up through the dirt and escaping. I pull out some socks from the pit which have fallen inside. Go inside, I see then a huge black Range Rover pull aggressively right in front of the window smack dab in the center of our front lawn. This also infuriates me and I plan to go out and confront the driver. Then I think better of it and go to tell my wife. She says "it's probably just the gardener." I go out through the side exit to the front [FALSE] and approach our front lawn from the neighbor's side and I notice an extremely bright light across the street. I don't remember this light being here before. My wife says she "put in a 75 watt bulb" (on the porch), but I know that doesn't explain this new light. It's like they put in a super bright street light right across from our house. This has be off balance and wondering for several moments. + practicing tennis serves on a court with some people. I'm using a short/mangy racquet? Im thinking about how to do good tennis serves. I toss the ball very high but it moves too far forwards. I get a really good one in that just barely does not clear the net, smacking loudly into the stiff tape at the top of the net. The guys I'm with mutter their approval, that was almost an awesome serve. + exiting the (parking?/food?) area by the open aired restaurant I have the check in my hand for a falafel plate for which I paid $5.29, I'm going up to the Asian chef who's busy, wait until he's available and show him the check, he looks at it, and I say that I don't see the two milkshakes mentioned on here. + there are people sitting in the tall cab of a truck. We're planning to go with them, but something is not right. Out front of the truck there is a slanted desk and (my wife? and) I are plugging in some electronic sound equipment, we're preparing to sing a song with the people sitting in the truck? (They mention they don't want us coming with them after all?) + in some hotel/office suite room, #1, which I've checkd in to, I hear the staff for the hotel talking asking about people who are going to move in to #1, I think no, I"m here. I notice some pieces of equipment on a table, and I know that they're old/outdated and not very useful, one of them is a black & white palm pilot sitting in an elevated cradle, I know it's not useful because it has no networking abilities, there is another piece of equipment, and I catch the sight of an old computer terminal screen (like an ADM3A) I leave the room and head through hallways. My sister (unseen) mentions she saw an open restaurant/counter, I see it right in front of me. There is a Chinese woman in there straightening up. There are some flowers in vases in there? After some confusion with my sister talking to her (over a phone?) trying to place a food order I say something that she understands and she says "No restaurant, flower shop". As I continue to look into the shop I see plates of food: there are 3 slots in a wall, one each for Italian, French, and Mexican, ranging from least spicy to spiciest. Then there area row of platters laid out about 5 dishes also in increasing order of spiciness. I can see farther now and I notice that the food counter is open all the way through to another side directly connected with another food counter with two young white people, a guy (and a girl) working there it's a different restaurant entirely (coffee counter?). Along my right side stacked on the wall are sushi supplies. They are a special form of rice, pink in color, and the dish is for something called a "black snake"?, a curved mount of rice (with shrimp? Day residue), I see piles of pinkish long tubes/strands of the sushi equipment. I take something in my hands and take a bit bit of it and am chewing it. It seems to be a roll of toilet paper in plastic wrapping. I see ArGi [former colleague from "3"] there dressed in full surgical dress including face masks. I hear his voice clearly and it sounds like him and he says something.
I drove to school and parked my car inside the cloakroom. I left it then went to my locker. The room have changed greatly since last year and I had to look for my locker. I managed to finally find it and wanted to hide my stuff, but I decided to take most of it to home. Then I left the cloakroom in search of my class main teacher. First I looked into the conference hall, but I decided to leave and met a chemistry teacher. I told her what I'm looking for and she wanted me to tell her where to find main teacher. I went upstairs, it was really dark there but someone turned on a flashlight. I said hi to other students of my class and then we entered the classroom. We received a subject plan for this semester. I was curios about the "something's wrong" subject, but didn't asked about it. Teacher checked presence list, starting from me, then reading many Spanish names and ending with proper list.
In a hotel. I was looking for my room it was number 266, but I couldn't find it. I asked to use a phone outside someone else's room they said I couldn't so I was searching for another phone. The I was outside on the street with a group of people. I didn't know any of them, but was trying to be sociable, I remember thinking 'this is how people tend to behave' - or maybe someone said that to me. Then I was picked up by someone and given a piggy-back and taken to the other side of the street, I was watching it as if I was a third party not myself. There was an old cinema behind us, something about an old man who used to live there and we went to look for him. Then there was an invasion of killer red ants - millions of then swarming around killing people. We were running from them. I escaped by jumping around on rooftops, I remember very clearly watching my feet jumping down ledges and guiding some other people behind me. I needed to escape the town so flew over some cars and found one with keys in, it was pink and very high tech. I stole it and drove off. I woke after another dream and remembered it at the time, but now it's gone.
First Dream Not much to this one. I was with a group of people at a pool. We were throwing these strange foam objects into the water, but I can't remember why. I remember checking a Doppler radar on my phone and saw a storm approaching. It also picked up on sea monsters lurking beneath the pool. A person approached me to discuss something, though I woke up before they could.
A group of friends and strangers (including me) are walking in a river. It sounds weird but it's easily explained by the fact that we're making our way stepping in branches, dead trees, trying not to touch the almost frozen stream. The branches and pieces of wood are broken and full of snow and it's hard not to fall. We walk a lot forward but then decide to turn back. I'm very skilled and confident and I don't slip at all but most people are falling to the freezing water.
