I was in some kind of castle and had to defend it against some strange enemies. Afterwards, I met with a few DCs at the castle gate. One of them had a green staff with a strange symbol on the top. Suddenly I was in the future: I saw myself, with a wife and 2 children. We were in the same place as before, but instead of the castle there was a little wooden house were my "children" were playing.
14.01.2017 (DILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I'm walking through a city in ruins. There's chaos everywhere. I'm being chased by something. I know I can't die, people depend on me. I turn around. It's Frieza who has been causing chaos and chasing me.I realize I'm dreaming. I plug my nose to make sure. I jump in the air and fly above him. I charge a Kamekameha and throw it at him. There's a big explosion. I'm in my room now. I walk towards the door and keeping my eyes open and phase through it. I think of what the next step is and it destabilizes. I lose lucidity and find myself playing Super Smash
I am at an academy near the water. I am there at the academy with a partner. He resembles a friend of mine, Jeff Rygwelski, from my old college days in Boston some 26 years ago . We practice fighting together. It appears we are at a martial arts academy. At one point we are fighting near the water, on the piers. I recall that during the fighting we actually become very angry with each other and are no longer "practicing" -- we are now fighting for real. I kick my partner very hard and he sails through the air and falls into the water between two slats of wood on the docks. He must have drowned, I assume, when he doesn't resurface. I continue to wait for him to come up out of the water. I give up waiting and decide to return to the academy. On the way back, he reappears. I see him before he has a chance to see me. I quickly duck behind a wall and try to slip out an exit door...but outside in the courtyard we bump into each other, face-to-face. He blocks the entrance to a building where I need to go. I think to myself, "I can jump on the roof and enter through that big crack in the wall," but do not. I do not want to fight him anymore. The dream recall dissipates at this point. Dreamt 12/30/2016

I went to sleep at 03:00 had set a WBTB alarm at 09:00. When I woke up from my alarm I could remember 2 ND's . They involved grasshoppers and school. They were pretty boring so I'm not gonna write them down. I did write them down in my paper journal though. After doing so I went back to sleep at 09:30 I woke up (false awakening) in my house downstairs, except it didn't look like my house at all. It was very empty and it was shaped differently. I walked upstairs and I think at this point I was gradually becoming lucid. Unfortunately I don't know what it was exactly that made me become lucid, but once I entered my bedroom upstairs I was totally sure I was dreaming. I looked outside the window and what I saw looked pretty much like my normal street except everything was further apart from eachother. My sight, however, was blocked by one of those big kind of diving goggles. I tried to take the goggles off, but whenever I did so it seemed as if a new pair of goggles was on my face that very instant. It was really annoying but then just by thinking about them being away they were gone and my sight turned very clear. I went outside (I know I should have stabilized earlier) and at the end of the street I saw a giant lake in front of what looked like a jungle. I looked up and the sky was a perfect crystally blue color. It all looked amazingly detailed and beautiful and I took a few moments to take it all in. This was the first time I've had a dream where the visuals looked just as good and clear as in waking life. By standing still like that I felt that the dream had stabilized a bit more. I remembered to do my personal goal, going snowboarding. I closed my eyes and fell backwards. Instead of hitting the street I was free-falling towards the top of a snow-covered mountain. At this moment I became very excited that this had actually worked. Strangely enough I didn't feel any fear of hitting the ground. I think I fell about 50 metres before I did. The fall was very hard but not painful, if that makes any sense. I immediately started snowboarding down the mountain, but the path I took was very steep, narrow and full of rocky bits, so the boarding felt very rough. As I was boarding I think I lost my lucidity somewhere along the way. That didn't matter though because the dream started to fade and once everything was black I realized the dream was ending and I started to feel my real body. This made me feel fully lucid again. That only lasted a couple of seconds though, and without me having to do anything another dream started. I think this was my first ever actual DEILD! I was standing out in my own street again. This time everything was very dark and I didn't like that. I looked at the floor and the brick tiles I was standing on didn't seem right. They were the kind of tiles you would see on a sidewalk but I was standing on the street. Somehow they made me feel uneasy. I wanted them to become a different kind of bricks, the kind brick houses are usually made out of. I could do so simply by imagining it. I was startled though, because when I looked up everything looked like it was made out of those bricks. That includes plants and trees etc. It was also still very dark out so I made it light out again. It turned dark again shortly after I did so and I realized someone else was making it dark. After this realization I lost my lucidity. Shortly after that the dream ended because my alarm rang. (at 11:00). I had one more false awakening after this because I fell asleep again after waking up from my alarm x) I can't remember anything else from that dream at all though. After waking up it occured to me that there hadn't been any DC's in my lucid dream at all, pretty weird.
Updated 01-14-2017 at 02:45 PM by 68172 (Spelling and grammar)
1. I was in my house when I noticed someone walking down the road and turned up my driveway, he was a very tall dark haired nice looking man with jeans and a short sleeved collared type shirt that had a white and blue print, probably 40's and he wasn't carrying anything so didn't think he was a salesman. I decided to go out the garage so the two dogs wouldn't bark at him. Just as I went out the garage and turned to go to the front door I saw a huge massive lion sitting right in front of my double front doors and he took up the entire width. Dead center with his front paws straight and serious looking. He roared one soft roar and my dogs barked. I wasn't afraid and at that point (man turning to lion) became lucid. I decided to walk over to it to ask him what he wanted. He appeared to be protecting my house. I walked over to him and he towered over me. I looked up at him and he never looked down at me but continued his strong stance. His feet were massive. I giggled to myself because my first nightmare at about 3 years old I remember was a lion that always came to my room and sat there and watched me. I was terrified of it and one day it eventually smiled at me and now I am right in front of one so I leaned in to touch him and he evaporated, leaving behind a wet outline of where his entire body had been on the concrete. I reached down and felt the moisture and felt part of it. 2. I was in a desert looking place with what appeared to be an old abandoned town from an old western film. I walk down the middle of the street and there was nobody anywhere. Dirt road and old buildings. I decided to walk back down it again to go back in the direction I came, it was very hot and the sun was extremely bright, I felt a sense of extreme power within me and decided I would fly out of there to take shelter in a cooler place, I usually have no problem flying but for some reason I felt so large and heavy. I try to lift off again and can hear a loud flapping noise and as I start to rise I look down and see a very large shadow of wings and a tail and I feel excited and out loud I yell laughing "Now I am a Dragon"? haha I get up slowly in the sky and watch my shadow for a moment in excitement and then wake up all sweaty (Hot flashes suck). I thought I read somewhere in dreams you weren't suppose to see your shadow? Well I did :-)
14-Jan-2017 - 4xNDs +2xWILDs - Three transforms, fly car, telekinesis house, gift LEGO, more... ND#1: (est.2AM) I am placing plants from PvsZ, and carpets as well ND#2: (3:10AM) I am with my wife abroad, it seems Korea. We are in a small hotel room, there is more people with us (colleagues?) We discuss something with those people, then they go away; when me and my wife remain alone, we love. We go to the airport, there is a dark central corridor, light turn on when we approach; I look for the sensors, and don't see them. Near walls there are many metal frames depicting rockets and spaceships, with relevant space mission names. My wife comments about huge fuel consumption. We stop by a gate, there is noone else around. Wake up 3:30, do WBTB and write above dreams WBTB/WILD#1: (3:30AM) Failed - I do not succeed in directly entering a dream, but manage to get lucid afterwards LD#1: (OBE-like, 4-6 AM) I am standing in my bedroom, wife is sleeping. I don't want to wake her up, I pick my phone from the high drawer and go to dining room. It's dark and even if I wish more light, everything stays dark. I turn on the phone and do something with it, can't recall what ND#3: (4-6 AM) I am driving my car, I have passengers, most likely my parents, surely my uncle R I recognize the road, before a uphill I strongly accelerate and feel the pressure against my chest. After the uphill, I turn right LD#2: (4-6 AM) I am in a city, a dark road. On a wall, suddenly a light appears. I notice a woman wearing just bottom underwear, entering a secret door rotating. I run towards it, and manage to get in through the breach before it closes. I find a square room, strongly lit, many work benches at the center, seems like a laboratory. The woman is working at one of the benches. I approach her naked body, and molest here. She does not oppose resistance, so you can imagine the rest. Details snipped. Lucidity fades afterwards Wake up 6AM, do another WILD WILD#2: (6:30 AM) I put more effort and focus in this one, I successfully enter a dream Since it's a very long LD, I've split into sections Part I - Lucio Dalla - Caruso I am in a hotel hall, I recognize it's the beginning of Lucio Dalla / Caruso song video (his most famous song perhaps; listen it, it's a wonderful song ) I have watched couple of weeks ago. As in the videoclip beginning, "Bad boys" is playing, LD enters from the right and approaches the hotel reception desk. Unlike in the videoclip, though, I get close too, and turn off the radio playing the song. LD gets room key (a classic metal key), for room number 410, I ask him if I can accompany him in his room to talk (important precisation, as he had made outing as gay). He unlocks the door, I open the door and let him pass, I enter the room. I sit in a chair. We talk about himself, I compliment him for his great music, he goes to the bathroom, from the door I see him washing his hands while we talk. In the meantime I pick up two cherries from a bowl on a nearby small round table. I tell him I am sorry he's dead, he looks sad too. Then I ask him if he can sing "Caruso", he does, and I undergo an incredibly strong emotion I cannot describe in words, I shiver violently and for long time while I listen him sing. Interestingly, as much as I like the song, it has never provoked anything remotely like that IWL, but I know it's going to be very different from now on... To thank and greet him I kiss him on both cheeks, I am sensibly taller then him Part II - Transform into a squirrel I approach the window, the sun is setting in the bay. There is a tree near the window. I jump and grab the trunk with both my arms, and legs too. Then I climb on a branch. I attempt squirrel trasformation. My viewpoint slowly descends closer to the branch, then I feel my legs get bigger. It has worked. I start running and jumping on branches, even belonging to different trees. I find a hole in a tree, I enter it, there are many walnuts inside, it's a true squirrel lair. Inside the hole, I think that it would be funny embracing my own big, soft tail, I do it, it feels good ! Then I pick a walnut and I ponder that I am clueless on how a squirrel would open it. I use my big middle tooth on the central fissure, and I manage to open it. I eat the nut inside, chomping it happily (no taste, though) Then I think about the "phase through object" task, I pretend knowing there is a branch on the other side of the trunk, then walk through the trunk. As a small squirrel, it takes some time in the blackness to exit on the other side. When exiting, something strange / new happens. I feel like my eyes get "stuck" in the trunk for a split second and get farther away from me than normal, then come back normally with the rest of my body. Looking down, I notice a cartoonish-looking wolf on the ground, I chew the branch which falls on the wolf's head It gets upset, and it becomes a normal, dangerous-looking wolf; it howls, and suddenly a pack of wolfs is beyond my tree. Now I am scared (I chose not to use any dream power to get out of this). I run and jump on branches until I get to a tree close to a small, low house with a low, fenced perimeter wall. The wolves are close, but running fast I descend the tree, climb up the wall and run through the small space between wall and metal fence. I am now safe in the garden of this house. Part III - Materialize car, fly it. Floating island. Unwrap a Xmas present and gift to my son. Telekinesis whole house I become human again. Wolves are not there anymore. I exit the garden through the gate. I am in a classic American residential zone with low houses well apart from each other, wide road. No one is around. I decide to attempt "Advanced summoning": I go for a car. I look to the road close to the pedestrian walkway and wish to make a car appear at that spot. It materializes in front of my eyes almost all together; some smaller parts (e.g. headlights) appear a second later. When the car is complete, I look at it. It looks like a Corolla-ish, it's dark grey. I don't like the color, and recolor it in red instead. It comes out a bordeaux red, which I don't like either. I wish it a bright red. Now I like it. I open driver door, sit inside and drive it. I accelerate the car alot on the empty road, until it eventually takes off. I am flying a car on this urban landscape, slowly gaining altitude. I see something floating in front of me. It's a small rocky island. From the distance I can only see something white to the left and a tree on the right. When I get there, I have some troubles landing / parking the car. When I can finally get off the car, I look around. There is a small house, just a white cube basically, a tree and very little else. I open the door and enter the building. There is a Christmas tree with several presents under it. Yay ! This wasn't expected ! I pick a 30cm gift, it's wrapped in red paper with golden ribbon and go outside. I slowly and purposedly open it, as I want to enjoy the surprise of what I fill find inside. I remove the ribbon, open and finally tear the paper. It's a mid-size LEGO set ! It has a small yellow excavator and two minifigures. I notice how the model looks small compared to box size. I wish to gift it to R, my son. I summon him in front of me, and he appears. I kiss him and give him the box, which makes him happy. Then I tell him to go, as I have to venture further. He fades out. I go again to the town below (how ? flying ? can't recall) and decide that I can attempt the "Big telekinesis" on a house. I point one to my right, perfectly similar to the others I saw before. It is also fenced and has some children playground, for sure a swing. I also look for an empty spot to land it on the other side of the road. (Interesting: I feel my eyebulbs move side to side as I do this) Then I focus on my target house. I raise both my hands in front of me. As I move them up, the house with surrounding wall and all the dirt below rises up. I notice the dirt is wet below, and look at the hole I created in the ground. I take note to explore it later. I raise the package like 10 meters above the ground and move it across the street in an arc. Then I kinda drop it on the empty spot. The big dirt mound below the house does not allow it to lay flat, it is pending to my right. I try to adjust it but I am not successful. Then I go to the big hole in the wet ground. I explore it but I find nothing. At this point I ponder whether to keep the dream alive or just go to sleep. The dream environment is totally stable so I decide to go on. Part IV - Transform into a fish I walk around, looking for a river. I find a small torrent, with super transparent water and a rocky bottom. I stand with my feet in it. I find my feet are naked, they feel cool. I attempt transforming into a small fish. Similarly to what happened with the squirrel, my viewpoint descends until it's just above the water level. I also experience something hard to describe, a sort of dizziness, as my head changes position in relation to my body. Then I am underwater. I see the water surface above me, just below me rocks and floating algaes. I swim forwards swaying the lower part of my body left and right. I try looking at my pectoral fin, but find it's too short for that. I swim for some time, hoping to reach the sea, but the river is too long. So I decide to use a sort of super-speed to quickly reach the sea. The scenery moves very fast around me, then I reach river's estuary. I follow a random branch then a small drop, then I am in the sea. Below me, dark, bottomless water, to my back a flat rock wall going down. I decide attempting to escape a big fish in this form, so I think it's safer staying close to the rock wall. From the dark water in front of me, a pointy nose appears, approaching at high speed; it's a shark. Its first assault ends up as a hit on the rock wall. Then I swim upwards, he attacks again, and I manage to fly fast enough to escape its bite. At its third assault I see its hige open mouth in front of me, and I cannot escape. However, its open mouth hits the rock wall, and it cannot close it on me. Ouch ! That was close ! I decide I had enough. I look for a gap in the rock wall, find it and swim it inside quickly. It's totally dark inside but I can swim anyhow. The channel makes a sharp upward turn, I follow it until I see light above me. I emerge in a small pool on the ground. I jump out and become human again. I think I am missing only the last transformation and pulling the sword out of the stone to complete my personal goal. I open a "zip" portal to my tower, it comes out purple inside. I enter it and find myself inside the tower. Part V - Transform into bird, pull sword out of the stone I approach the window, and easily transform into a small bird (transformed into eagles and dragons in the past) I fly up lighty, see a tree, land on a branch with my small legs, then hop on my legs towards a nest on that branch. I sit inside, there are some eggs. Then I fly up again. It's a relaxing flight. I am looking for the city where the sword is I end up flying above a big city, with yellow lights. There is a small garden with the anvil and the sword in it, I land there and return human again. I look around and it's looking a bit too cartoonish for my taste. I wish more realistic buildings around me, a high fence around the garden, everything appears; two guards appear, in medieval dressing with halberds. I say aloud that I want to extract the sword from the stone, one of the guards laugh, but some people crowd around the garden. I go in, then use both my hands and some force to pull the sword out of the stone. I raise the sword above my head and say "I am your king now, people !" Then I look at the sword. It looks beautiful, with a broad blade and a golden curved hilt. I say I will now use this sword in my next dreams. I sheathe it on my back. Then I take some time to return to my body, wait for some dizziness to pass, then wake up and move to my side. ND#4: Some discussion with my sister V ND#5: Forgotten Wake up at 8
I did a WBTB, went to the toilet, drank water downstairs, contemplated if that was a dream or not for a long time, then went again to bed. (My WBTBs duration are generally aprox between 10 and 15 mins.) When I was falling asleep, a mosquito woke me up. I covered myself with the blanket and started performing an SSILD. (FA) I'm sitting on my bed, there's no desk in my room, that's weird. Right, this is a dream. I instantly wake up. I immediatly perform a DEILD. Now I'm laying on my bed, over the blanket. Got it, I'm in the dream again. I wake up. DEILD again... I'm sitting on my bed again. I try to stand up, I wake up. Try to chain again, but don't remember anything more. ----------------------------------------------------------- (Fragment 1) I'm stuck inside something like a tube with my GF and my two nieces. (Fragment 2) I'm in a room with an asian guy, he looks like my DG. On a crystal desk he has a Nintendo 3DS connected to a DJ mixer and a keyboard.
Comments blue Lucid purple D1 Having sex dream , was happy and playful then white bedroom door open a chink meaning other people were up in house, so went for breakfast. D2 - Talking to some dc who was suprised at my choice of choosing to go for a run along long walkway/ path up side of mountain. At top was a very large white staidum, where a music concert was taking place. I could hear the music drifting as I came up to the entrance way. (Music from an anime I listened to last night) There were large viewing halls with giant glass windows on one side looking into the centre of the stadium. Each one I entered was very crowded with dcs wearing white shirts and black tailcoats serving guests. One room had no one in so I entered, seeing a large white bird sitting on the top of a piano. Evidently people were scared of the bird so had not entered. When I went in it took of leaving its legs behind on the piano. A Very strange dc looking like Manuel from fawlty towers went and removed the legs (He went very close with his face next to mine as dcs often do in my dreams, peering into my face) Song from dream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpYgRj-R_D0 WBTB - have drink of water and go bathroom D3 - In a dress shop with black marble walls and floor. I am talking to the owners as the shop is closed at the moment. it is very bare with just mirrors and racks plus a changing room to one side. I use my powers to make the room bigger but have to make the whole world bigger too to fit everything in. The doors to the store are shaped like glass flower petals and very large half dome like things. (I have seen shapes similar to these in a hotel dream I hadj There are two to the front of the store which I thought was a room I could stay in but turns out to be a connecting corridor at the front of all the stores, that curves round. I go out into this corridor which is curved glass on one side. Entering the next room/store I recognise items from anime I have watched a soldier figurine from ergo proxy and mechanoid from outlaw star. I decide it is some kind of playroom. I am lucid and use telekinesis to move the mechanoid from a hooped area. I find it very hard remembering that it is super heavy and could only be moved easily due to low gravity. An very old lady wanders into room, I try to change her into someone else but fail I immediately try mind control on her and tell her to do something she obeys. As she comes closer to me she freaks me out, with her white waxy skin and appearance. I look around room for something else to try, seeing a folded partition wall, I try to open it with my powers but it hardly budges so I give up. I go to fly out of the room but false awaken and drink sludge from a glass of water ick! then wake up for real. I realise red and white soldier from ergo proxy, was ignored completely by me in dream as it was in waking state. I was puzzled by its exact meaning in anime but did not enquirer further. This deliberate ignoring, I feel relates to also to other things relating to red and white (which has been very big dream sign for past year or so). It is my need for integration. <font color="#0000ff"> ok checked it out, It relates to a lost child from the past, that would make sense

I had a lucid dream this night! I did the SSILD method, and after a while fell asleep with a couple of sycles again. Than when I fell asleep, I apleared in the same room again where I'm sleeping, but than with a different layout, and bigger than our house normally is. The dream wasn't super vivid at the beginning, and I could wake up pretty fast if am not careful in the dream. I did a nose RC to be sure it is a dream, and it was! I was really happy but tried to stabalize the dream to shout "stabalize!" but it didn't work very well... So I tried to spin, and that worked a little better. It was like I really was awake. Now, it was night, and I wanted to make it day. My mom woke up in my dream, and suddenly my father was there too. I said to them that I was dreaming, and I can control this if I believe in it. So I shouted, "light!!!!!" "make it day!!" at first it didn't work. So I tried the switches from my bedroom to turn the lights on, but that didn't work either. So I tried to believe more in my control, and shouted again to make it day, and that worked finally. It became a sunny day I did a RC again, to prove that it really is a dream...becaus it's so hard to get a ld, and now I am here, just standing in a dream! I tried to keep myself aware that am dreaming, so that I don't forget it. My dream was not stable at some time, so thought of some stabalize methods I read at dreamviews. Someone said to crawl. So I tried that, but it became even more blurry. Almost waking up like. I didn't want that. So shouted, "stabalize!" again, and spinned. It was luckily more vivid. I opened my bedroom door, and saw that the wooden floor whom is normally darkbrown, turned in lightbrown. The corridor became much bigger... Our house has became bigger. It was really cool I tried to change my appearance, but that didn't work lol. So I decided to try it again later. I suddenly walked into a hairdresser, and decided to cute my hair a little there. After that, there were some weird men. Me and my sister read some weird documents, and it was probably forbidden to read them, because it where secrets. My sister continued to read them, while I already saw some shady people walking towards us. I tried to get my sister to flee with me, but she continued to read them, and it was already too late to run. They already stood before us. They took the documents from my sister's hands, and took them with them. They looked at me a bit scaryxD but I decided to leave that, and walked away with my sister. At the end of the dream, I wanted to try flying, because I am really difficult with it. I never manage to fly. Even though other people could. So in the living room, I practiced flying. My sister sat, and watched me. I jumped and it didn't work so well. (is it really, because I find it hard to believe? But if I can turn night into day, tan I can also fly. So I believed in it as much as I could, like I did with my other things, and jumped in the air. I could fly a little, but floated pretty fast to the ground. Maybe I have to think of happiness, and a lot of believe, and than I can fly? Peter Pan said so in the movie... So I thought of a lot of things that makes me happy, and believed in it. It worked! I could fly, but....I soon woke up after I managed to fly, and it was already morning at that. It was a fun experience, and I hope to do more in my dreams!!!❤❤❤❤❤ I defenitely try SSILD again.
13/1/16 Dream 1: I was in a church I believe, attending a wedding, a lot of middle eastern people I think, I was looking after some kids during it. Everyone was emotional and crying. Fragment: In a castle hunting vampires Dream 2: I was playing a game, I was travelling around in between some floating islands in space. There were some wizards, talking trees and a house, one of the wizards asks me to talk to one of the trees. Dream 3: I was catching the tram with my brother in to school, talk for a bit and then end up being a bit late.
Morning of January 14, 2017. Saturday. I am in La Crosse and in the house next door to the King Street boarding house. There is some sort of party going on, possibly a high school graduation party, and it is at night. Zsuzsanna is there but as a teenager though is the only person I recognize. See seems a bit tired and I ask her if she wants to sleep in my bed (which turns out to be at an unknown residence but implied to be where I live). It feels as if we have not been together as a married couple yet, though she is passive towards me. We walk northwest from the house until we come to my fictional red 1922 Phaeton (a “dream car” that has not featured in my dreams for quite some time) in a commercial district. Its appearance is different as if perhaps an older model and its top is down. Curiously, there does not seem to be a steering wheel, though this does not serve to be a deterrent. I tell her to get in the car and I sit in the area behind where the steering wheel should be. As is often the case, I have difficulty in trying to fit in the vehicle. Still, after some adjustments (where the car even seems to expand slightly), it works out okay. We end up in an unfamiliar bedroom. A playful lion cub is present and so is a puppy (though the puppy of which I do not see much and which does not go onto the bed as the lion cub does). The lion cub makes small messes over the entire bed (to a very unrealistic extent) and I tell Zsuzsanna that I have to take the top blanket off and I am somewhat annoyed. It does not seem unusual to have either a puppy or a lion cub in my (fictional) house. The appearance of the red 1922 Phaeton goes all the way back to early childhood, when I dreamt my father was a car.I have not been on King Street since January 1994. I did not know any people who lived in the house next to the boarding house though I did paint some of the inside for the owner.The lion is a recurring waking prompt and coalescence symbol (as it can swallow the dreamer back into whole consciousness) and is also a type of dream sign (as from the 1897 “Sleeping Gypsy” painting by Henri Rousseau). Here however, it is only a cub, but the obvious dream sign of the bed already serves as a waking transition factor. This specific rendering is a connection with having to wake up to use the bathroom.The missing steering wheel is an invitation to lucidity (and implies liminal dream state awareness), whereby the car is my dream “vehicle” as an extension of my physical body (which is also called a “vehicle”) in sleep but without an active conscious self awareness as in normal lucid dreams to “steer” my dream with a more viable conscious choice (though liminal dream control occurs with me very often - I am just not aware I am dreaming). I am still able to resolve the beginning intent to a point. A car with no steering wheel also correlates with vestibular system dynamics and the liminal awareness of the inability to control the physical body while sleeping.Even though bed dream signs are quite common in my dreams (and always have been since early childhood), I rarely pick up on them directly for active lucidity, though a bed implies the waking space of a dream (liminal awareness of being asleep).

Okay! Here it is. Record LDs for me this week. I am for now on going to post one at the end of each week.
Fragment about eating a lettuce sandwich. WBTB I WILD into a black void. I look down and see my cello. I decide to play an improvised Baroque Suite. I scream at the end "I'm dreaming!!" I stupidly remember "In space, no one can hear you scream" When I start suffocating I wake up.
Me and my dad are working together, with my dad being a private eye who use supernatural means to get information. A girl had contracted us to find the truth behind the circumstance of her friend's murder. There was a hole in the floor going through three floors below. The police have already took the body and the evidence, but my dad used his psychic powers to see the past. Also, my grandfather, for some reasons, is Joseph Joestar. I called him on the phone and asked him to use Hermit Purple to give us security tapes somehow, and he did. We meet up with the client in a restaurant at night. We reported to our client that her friend was killed by an assasin using psychic powers. The hole in the floor was caused by her bouncing tennis ball on the floor. (We treat it going through three floors as normal.)
I dreamed I was an android in a world where androids were being purged, for whatever reason. I was still the me from real life, still had the same family... but they'd adopted me when I was a small android, and I'd grown from there. I was such a well-made android that, for all intents and purposes, I was the only one who knew I wasn't human. This was quite a privilege considering the circumstances, and I was trying to use my ostensibly human status to assist my fellow androids in their attempts to escape eradication. One rather shocking moment sticks out in my memory: a group of androids were hiding in a secret room behind a wall, with two of them unfortunately still out in the open, when an extermination squad of robots rounded the corner and absolutely annihilated them with flamethrowers and gunfire. The flamethrowers were apparently a new thing, firing gouts of plasma so powerful that they could simply melt an android into nothing. The robots, apparently feeling no need to save ammunition, kept firing on the already-dead androids until there was hardly anything left, and also fired some shots at random, with some going into the secret room where the hidden androids were watching in horror and fear. I was watching all of this as though incorporeal, positioned outside the secret room and in the direct path of the flamethrowers, but simply observing. I couldn't see the androids inside the secret room, and feared that they'd been hit by the gunfire. And I remember being afraid of the pain the flamethrowers would cause if they were used on me, wondering what it would be like to feel myself melting and burning the way the androids were right in front of me. The robot troop marched away without discovering the androids behind the wall. We carried on without the two androids we'd lost, despite the primary character status they'd had (I think they'd actually had names, and one of them had been a source of good humor for the rest of the group). The dream restarted a bit, but this time it was Christians that were being eradicated rather than androids. I was still helping them, though I remember wondering why I was putting myself in danger of death when I wasn't a Christian myself. Or maybe it was something like, I'd been raised Christian without it ever quite rubbing off on me, and now, although privately I didn't share the belief, publicly I was going to be killed for it. At any rate, the things hunting us were now single androids who would look human right up until the moment they had decided to kill you. When that happened, their face would warp like a Picasso painting, one eye vanishing and being replaced by a migrating, malformed nose, while the other eye shrank to a dot. There was also a variety of prisons and exterminators, one of which was called The Dove (I think?). The Dove was really only a prison in the sense that you'd be imprisoned in it for the 60 seconds it took for you to move along a hanging conveyor belt into a furnace, whose fires could not actually be seen until you were inside them. This was where I was certain to head if I were captured: knowing this I let myself be captured anyway. There were two forbidden books we had on hand: Mere Christianity by C S Lewis, and another one that my brain invented and whose name I can't quite remember... Door, perhaps? These were the books I had on hand when an android spotted me, and I didn't really feel like trying to survive anymore. I let it spot me, let it recognize me and watched its face mutate. It hit me with some sort of poison attack that left me propped against the wall, dying. Or at least, I thought I was dying, thought I was going to die soon (and the dream end? there was no sense that dying might have Real Consequences... more that the story would be over), but the dream continued for long enough that perhaps I began to think I would still be headed to The Dove after all. The dream stopped making sense after that. Phooey.
