I was walking around with a monk. The monk said "Be careful with what you have in your hand, that is a spirit lantern." I look down and see that I am carrying a lantern. I snap into realization that this is a dream and become lucid. I become very confident and pick up two more spirit lantern and start to balance them and have fun, I do this extremely well. I then remember my lucid goal of meditating while in a dream. I close my eyes and take a few deep breaths. After the third breath I start to levitate. I open my eyes and become surprised and happy. I laugh, cheer, and wake up. WHEN I WOKE UP I FELT ~20 POUNDS LIGHTER. AFTER ABOUT ~1 MINUTE OF LAYING IN MY BED, I FELT AN INVISIBLE THING COME BACK INTO MY CHEST AND FELT LIKE MY REGULAR WEIGHT AGAIN!

Haven't written for a long time. Remembered so much from lst night had to write: 1) I think I had been at a friend's house. Then I was in a steep field walking back up to where I had parked the car. Behind me I saw another old friend in a land rover trying to catch me up, he seemed to be having difficulty. Then he was on top of the land rover it had become very narrow more like a motorbike, he couldn't catch me up, then it crashed and he was thrown off it I asked if he was OK. I knew there were fireworks starting soon and I had to get there to join my family. I headed back down the field and spoke to someone who said that people were giving lifts just outside the field. I convinced her to let me have a lift with her family. Then I was in a car with her family, a man was drivign. I decided I wanted to get out and walk, but he kept driving and eventually pulled in, now it was even further to walk. I walked u pto a roundabout and there was a road goijg in the right direction. I found it was a dead end with a house at the end, but I could see a cut through via someones garden - I was polite and asked the owner, who has just come out of her house, if I could walk through, she said no the correct path was by the side of the house. I spotted the path it was very steep, started walking, it got very steep and became a triangular wicker pole I had to climb up. I had my hands full with a monile phone and had to put it away. There was another man behind me so I let him go past. At he top there was a very narrow window which I just managed to squeeze through - then I was in someon'e house a small child looked at me, his mother who was very nice asked me where I was going and showed me the way out. 2) I was at my very first employer's factory with my youngest daughter. Not sure why. Then we were in a computer lab, I was pouring water into the plug socket for some reason. Then I was sitting with one of our cats, my wife wasn't happy and told me to keep hold of it, but I let it go and had to go and get it. Then there was a large very unwell rat wandering around me, I remembered seeing it before and I was the only person that would give it any attention, it was walking around me. It was horribly diseased with open sores all over it. I wanted to stroke it to make it feel better but didn't want to touch it. It was trying to get close to me I pushed it away with the tip of a pen. Then I was with my wife again looking at a magazine to buy something. We were stood in woodland, she said something about me having to do something becasue a tiger might just walk past and she wouldn't be safe, I didn't really understand.
I have in a place where there's a huge crowd of people surrounding me. It seems that there is a war breaking out and I start to fly Above the crowd. Someone said to me there that everyone is asleep and that's why they're acting this way. That they were sleepwalking through life. I started to fly outside backwards as if I was swimming backwards. At this point I feel like I had a brief moment of lucidity.
10/6/16 Dream 1: I was at university to try and meet up with a mentor, but ended up working on a group project instead. One of the girls in my group got mad at me for some reason and it got pretty tense in the group. Dream 2: There was a mixed football match on the tv. A woman kicked it from 60 metres out for a point, and then after the kickout the umpire kept on giving soft free kicks to the female players. Dream 3: There was a news report about floodwaters in my local area, so I went out and walked around in them. I met a guy who needed an injection but couldn't afford it, so I started campaigning for the injection cost to be reduced.
9/8/16 Dream 1: I was in the car with my brother driving. He nearly crashed into people twice, but we ended up making it back home and parking in a huge garage. Our mum isn't too upset at my brother damaging the car and said he would have to pay for the repairs. It turned out that the garage was a huge barn where people were processing food. We started helping out with that. Dream 2: I was at a huge train station in the city when the power went out. I managed to climb up the escalators and get outside. I then met up with some friends and got some lunch at subway nearby. Dream 3: The 'shitlords' of the internet were having a livestream in the forest, all leaning back into the shadows so people couldn't see who they were.
8/8/16 Dream 1: I was a part of the yesterday's heroes challenge at a big basketball stadium, however I think we were playing table tennis or some sport other than basketball. Dream 2: I accidentally bet on a Dota match, I then watched a promo video about the storyline surrounding the teams and stuff. The game turned out to be very close and nailbiting. Dream 3: I was at my childhood home when my mum spotted a blue and grey rodent running around. I thought it was a lynx and I got a spray or something and tried to chase it away. Dream 4: I was back at high school in a specialist maths class. It all seemed really easy and I devised a series of symbols to explain the stuff to the regular students in the class. There was also an English class where I showed them a video of a British anti-feminist giving a speech which shocked everyone there. Fragment: Some earlier dreams, remember initials MLE.
7/8/16 Dream 1: I was at the wedding of my uncle and his fiancé, going through the motions of the whole ceremony. Dream 2: I went into a shop to buy a backpack for my brother. I had to haggle for a while to get what I wanted, as well as a few things I wanted to buy for myself, at a reasonable price. Dream 3: There was a Michael Moore style documentary about aboriginals and the troubles that they have been through. It was pretty graphic and emotional and had a lot of interviews. Fragment: A magic the gathering style game where I had to collect 3 artifacts.

6/8/16 Dream 1: I was in a 3D printing class at uni. Some people were making some pretty bad things so I tried to improve them, but the nozzle started careening off wildly. Eventually we completed making a car but it wouldn't start. Dream 2: I had to drive my mum quickly somewhere. I had to reverse out onto a busy street, and as I went into drive the car stopped working and I was stranded in the middle of the road. I got it going just in time to avoid being in a crash.
5/8/16 Dream 1: There was a football match. Someone on my team handballed across the face of goal, an opposition player stole the ball and kicked a goal, resulting in them winning the game. Dream 2: A group of communists and capitalists were fighting over another group of people and their money. There was a giant water slide nearby which I went on with my brother before we flew home on a magic carpet.
4/8/16 Dream 1: I was playing basketball along with Tom Boyd. I went ok and got some coaching as well. At the end of the game someone ran into and vomited up a foetus, which was bizarre and disgusting.
1 point is all I got. I'm really pissed off! Three Step Goals: 1.Advanced Flying 2.Element Manipulation 3.Mass Telekinesis New Dream goal: Go to the Moon Old Dream goal: Go back to Venice D1: I was playing in the game survivor. There were 3 great big ships w/ 3 teams. One for each ship. But I wasn't sure what they were yhaet who had what. But we were told by Jeff Probst the host that there could be consequences for swapping with other teams. Apparently someone already had tried but magically they weren't allowed too. It was a little fuzzy about how this occurred... My daughter called in real life & I tried to ignore the phone. D2: half lucid. I phased/chained into my second dream which was becoming lucid right after I noticed the ships were now all three small boats. I now decided to give the ships the advantages I wanted. I gave my team plenty of extra food. Another had fishing gear. And the third had survival gear. I know they could've been better but I was trying to just get to the tasks. I was making a plan that I would put Nebulus & Dream Cafe on the second boat & Sivason on the third so I could play against them. I was also contemplating my flying to the moon & my mass telekinesis. But as soon as I got Nebulus pictured in his blue t-shirt emblazoned with his real name idiot tag it was game over. My daughter had come into my bedroom in real life via my dumb ass son. I'm so pissed off I can't even express. She got a job & needed me to watch her kids from now until school starts from 6am-5pm. So basically I may be fucked as far as the comp goes. We'll see. My plan is to try & recreate this scenario because it was a really good set up for the way I wanted this part of the comp to go. I'm literally in tears. Yes Neb, I had you finally pictured for like 30 seconds before my daughter blew my dream to shit! Non-Lucid-Green Lucid-Red Side Notes-Purple Competition Notes-Teal
8/10 I'm with my family, trying to travel back to Boston. For some reason, we keep getting on a maze of connecting flights and being redirected to various airports, so after what feels like a long time, we are actually in Atlanta. For my part, I'm OK with this--in fact I've kind of settled in for a long journey. Now, instead of taking another plane, we take a train instead. It seems to go uneventfully at first, but as we near the station at the end of the line, it becomes obvious that the train is going to have a hard time stopping. It doesn't slow down, though--it speeds up! I realize that I'm probably going to die, although this thought doesn't seem to bother me at all. I turn to P~, who's sitting next to me; I kiss him gently on the lips and tell him that I love him. The train hurtles into the station, then brakes all at once--but we don't crash. Instead, in defiance of physics, we lose speed rapidly but at a controlled rate. The back of the train lifts up briefly, as if supported by a cushion of air, before we come to a gentle stop. My family and I pick up our things and head out; as we leave, I see a sign that advises passengers of trains' sudden deceleration when arriving at this station. The sign _does_ say that there's some danger involved, but somehow I feel that because it's been acknowledged, there _is_ no danger, and that we were never going to come to any harm. As we leave the station, I realize we actually are in Boston. I'm a little disappointed; I was getting into the groove of traveling and kind of wanted to keep doing it! My mom splits off from the group and leaves to go somewhere. P~ has disappeared and I don't see him again. That just leaves my dad, whom I follow through the city to a building I identify as his office. We enter and I follow him through a labyrinthine, dimly lit series of halls. It's a regular office building, nothing sinister about it, but it seems pretty run down and in bad need of maintenance and cleaning. We stop in a large bathroom. There is water running down the walls--it's almost a waterfall--and a large, deep pool of standing water on the floor, although the section we're standing in is dry. Apparently this is where my dad works. How can someone work in an environment like this? I haven't seen anyone else in the building so far, and my dad hasn't said a word to me either. It's desolate and lonely here. I wake up.
1. I'm walking down the stairs to the basement in M Street. Something feels strange, and my hands come out in front of me. I say I'm lucid as I become aware of the dream. I head down quickly into the basement and begin flying across the room. I reach the end with a large wall unit, and begin considering some dream goals. I consider one goal of teleporting to my dream sanctuary. I look at a small black TV and reason that I can jump through to TP. I then decide not to as I feel it might risk making the dream unstable at the time. I turn to the right and consider flying through the nearby door. i head a bit closer, but the area doesn't seem too interesting. I look on top of a stand and see an old school system: a Super Nintendo with Link's Awakening Inserted. I'm fascinated at how it's not real, and decide to smash the whole thing for fun. I quickly transition out of the dream and enter a semi-lucid soon after I find myself walking down a country road with a green field to my left beyond a wooden fence. It's a slightly rocky area with a descent. I have the idea that I that I can become lucid here, begin to gain some control, and decide to turn left. My self-awareness isn’t coming through at this point. 2. I'm talking to someone who's telling me about a work situation at a school. I tell them not to worry, and that things will become easier for them in the future. It hits me that I'm dreaming, and I become lucid as my hand comes out in front of me. I say "I'm lucid". i tell the DC not to worry because it's not real anyway. I fly out the door and exit the house area. I soon enter into a white void state, and decide on my goal of going to the dream sanctuary. I feel my dreambody standing in a gray void and try to envision a cave entrance in front of me. I then imagine a lit brazier with red flames on either side of me. I resole to hold awareness until a dream scene forms. i continue rubbing my dream body I lose lucidity for a short period of time 3. I find myself flying down a brick tunnel, lucid, during the daytime. Yellow buses are approahing me. I decide it would be fun to fly right into the roof, do a handstand and bounce right off and continue to fly - I go for it! I continue flying back in another direction toward a second bus, but want to get more serious and work on some dream goals. I fall backward through a wall to try to TP to my dream sanctuary. I spend some time imaginine my surroundings forming high up in a mountain cave. Visuals don't kick in for a bit, and I begin rubbign my dream body. I then decide to go into the second goal of meditating in the area. A mat comes beneath my dream body, and I sit to meditate. 4. Shortyly after, I'm walking down a very colorful and vivid street which intersects another on a busy city street corner and quickly realize I'm dreaming. At this time my hand comes out in front and I say "I'm lucid". I see a man driving a light bronze pickup drive around the corner as I fly toward it. I decide not to go this way, and make my way to the right. A colorful gas station is standing on the side of the road with many people outside. Even more are bustling around on the sidewalk across the street, and I fly through the crowds observing all the faces. I get close to each one and am fascinated by how life-like they are. I decide to fly into one and topple them over for fun.I knock the DC down, and I feel as though I'm going to wake soon. I transition back to my body to wake for the day.
