08-01-16 I have been letting my daily routine slide for awhile. The quality of these lucids is pretty poor, but for only my 3rd day of getting back into trying, I guess I can not complain. Hey, any lucids beats the hell out of no lucids.

DILD #1 I am working on a pharmacy computer, but it is an old school monitor and I appear to be in a home. The screen makes no sense. I stop and do a general RC (can I remember how I got here? Is there actual noise? And so on) and decide it is a dream. There are messages on the computer. I wonder what my brain will do with this. I press a button to play the messages. A female voice sounds but is nonsensical gibberish. I look around. I am in a bedroom, and some how know this is Brandy's house. I can see DCs moving around in the front room. I want to do something to score points, but the list is not very clear. Any power will score some, I think? I look at a padded dinner bar stool and place my hand on it. I will push my hand through this. For about a 3 count it resists; I relax; my hand phases through it. I went in the front room and Brandy was talking with someone. I tried to get her attention. Before I fully got her to focus on me I was suddenly outside. I woke up at this point because my wife was getting ready for work. At my best I can avoid waking, but LDing has been much less of a focus with all the Brazilian Jiujitsu lately.

DEILD #1 Relaxed and re-entered the same setting using WILD skills. The neighborhood seems to have changed. I am pretty sure this is a dream, but am a bit confused. In order to RC I attempt to use supper strength and jump crazy high. I spring forcefully up and land on top of a house. Ok, RC worked; this is a dream. I remembered the comp and wanted to score points. I heard a lady scream, so I decided I would play super hero. I started running (no longer on house?) trying to be like The Flash. I got the feeling of moving at super speed and the scene blurred out in lines like it might look from Flash's point of view. Everything went black. No visuals would form after this.

WILD #1 I barely woke for my first WBTB and went rapidly into this WILD. I was laying on a bed, but could tell it was a dream. I look around and am back in the strange pharmacy/bedroom. Again there are people in the other room, but I also see my ferrets are running around on the floor. I did a general reality check and it was clearly a dream (huge parts of my vision was made of deep shadows). I examine a very strange carved wooden bed. I went out into the other room and see someone letting one of my ferrets out the door. I went to get my ferret, but it ran. i ran after it, but then relaxed, stopped and called the ferret, which came to me. I wanted to examine the ferret, as it seemed very interesting. I interacted with the DC ferret for a brief while and thought this was actually very cool, but my wife made more noise and I woke up.

WILD #2 I came out of pleasant H.I. and was standing in a hall way. I knew this was a dream as there was no loss of awareness in the transition. I see a lamp stand type of table and it has a piece of pottery on it. I go up to it and place my hand on the pottery wich seems to be some sort of smooth topped jar. The colors look cool and the feel of it is interesting. I walk up the hall, but it does not seem to go anywhere. The light fades and no more visuals would come.

I remember signing my name over and over multiple times on a sheet of white paper. Somebody there with me commented that the more I do it the more my signature changes.

I walk up to this girl at a party and it ended up being Sabrina. we are flipping out on what a coincidence that is for me to approach her again and it being her. we talked for a little while and she then tells me that her parents do not want her to date me. I kind of observe her actions and noticed that she acts kind of young and immature.

I’m in this alleyway that’s apparently beside my house. There’s brick walls on each side, a couple arches, and a fire escape that’s further up. Three women in Victorian dresses run past me and start climbing up the wall, Assassin’s Creed style. I’m mildly impressed they can be so limber in such restrictive clothing. Under one of the archways, I see a metal ceiling fan, which has been partially covered with strange glow-in-the-dark paper. It actually looks kinda neat, so I grab some paper and tape off of the ground and start finishing the job.

I wake up for a quick WBTB (gotta be quick, anyway, since my job requires me to get up fairly early, so I need all the sleep I can get). I’m now in my college auditorium, where there’s some celebrity singer performing a concert. I’m standing backstage, and I catch a glimpse of the drummer - it’s one of my friends from high school. I’m pretty happy for him - he was one of the best drummers I’d ever seen in high school, and I’m glad he’s doing okay.

I’m now back in my dorm, apparently some time after the concert. I walk from room to room with my laptop, trying to find the best WiFi reception. As I go through the hallway, i notice some girls I know from high school walking through. Weird, this isn’t a co-ed dorm. Oh, I’m dreaming! As I realize this, the hallway transforms into the hallway leading to my bedroom in my house. I rub my hands together, convincing myself this is a very stable lucid dream. I run into my bedroom and try to lift myself off the ground through sheer willpower, but I can’t do it. Huh, I guess not having a quality lucid in forever has really messed with my control. I decide that maybe it has something to do with the low ceiling in my house. I spot my window over my bed, so I take a running start and dive through. The scene switches to slow motion, as I watch the glass shatter around me, with me twisting in mid-air just above the overhang of the first-floor. It’s a pretty neat effect, kinda like an action movie, but everything goes back to normal speed as I roll out onto the overhang. I stand up and find I’m completely unharmed. Guess that counts for Gain Invulnerability. I try once more to fly, this time starting with a jump, but I start to float back down to the ground. I kick my legs in mid-air like a Yoshi, which causes me to stop falling and slowly start floating upwards. It’s not graceful by any means, but it works. As I get slightly higher, I notice the sky isn’t really a sky - it’s more like clouds painted onto a transparent ceiling with nothing but blue behind it. The ceiling is really low, and I bump my head into it, causing me to black out.

I wake up in a strange bed and sit upright. Everything around me looks strangely textured, like I’m in a low-quality 3D animated movie. That can’t be right… I plug my nose to RC, and find that I’m still dreaming. There’s a hole in the middle of the floor, so I drop through it and find myself in a huge cafeteria, where people are eating, but no one seems to notice me. Alright, let’s start knocking out some more tasks. I first go for some telekinesis. I jump up on one of the tables and spot some unaccompanied plates beside me. I reach out my hand and manage to make some of them float. I turn another direction and lift a couple more plates and pieces of food in another part of the room. Having built up my confidence, I turn towards the center of the room, where most of the people are, and stretch out my hand. Suddenly a ton of stuff starts floating - plates, food, forks, knives, glasses, and even a trash can. Everyone starts looking around, wondering what’s going on, while I quietly sneak away, giggling to myself.

I spot a glass door leading to the outside, so I try to knock out my 3rd 3-step task. I blink and do a quick nod with my head, and I’m suddenly on the other side of the door. Outside looks like New York in Tom Clancy’s The Division - there’s snow on the ground, and a ton of large, heavy objects in the street to hide behind. Some guy sees me and quickly points a gun at my head. Luckily, I know I’m dreaming. “That won’t do you any good.” He stops, contemplates for a bit, and then puts the gun down. Instead, he hands me a business card for a special lucid dreamer order of the Assassins. He then darts off and climbs the building next to us, chased soon after by a couple firemen with ladders. At this point I lose lucidity, and the dream turns into a weird movie, where I’m being played by some guy that’s a mix between Matt Damon and Adam Sandler.
