    1. Contractor

      by , 03-26-2018 at 10:06 AM
      Morning of March 20, 2018. Tuesday.



      In this dream, I mostly remain semi-lucid, though there are a few random distractions. The settings are all unfamiliar.

      At one point, I find myself in an upstairs room in some sort of restaurant. I am near the counter where a cheerful chef asks me what I want. There is a plate of mashed potatoes that I decide to take. I do not eat all of it as I notice there is activity downstairs and I also realize that seems to be the only way out of this room.

      When I am downstairs, my lucidity increases to where I realize that my physical body is not wearing shoes as I sleep. Looking down, I notice that my feet are bare. This is not of much concern to me as I recognize the dream state indicator for what it is. However, just for the sake of presence, even though it is just a dream, I decide to summon shoes onto my feet. My feet are wearing shoes for a time, but they become transparent now and then. The people in the restaurant are all friendly.

      Eventually, I come to a checkout counter in a different building, which might be that of a library. I absentmindedly bump it and it seems very loose and actually comes off and so I place it so that it leans against the side of another part of the service area. I tell the unknown female at the counter that I will fix it and a contractor, an unfamiliar friendly male of about forty, soon appears. There is an unusual segment where unfinished buildings are seen. I mentally will most of the buildings to complete even though there are also several construction workers around.

      I notice that the counter I had been at earlier is now nearly two stories high from what seems to be an outside area. several unfamiliar people are present, including the original unfamiliar female. There is the typical indoor outdoor ambiguity, where it seems I am inside and outside at the same time (a factor of the illusory nature of the dream state in semi-lucid understanding that I am actually inside a house in our bedroom). I slowly wake around this point.



      A checkout counter is common autosymbolism for the waking stage (a metaphor for leaving the dream state). In this case, there was no dominant preconscious factor or RAS mediation or modulation, as the checkout being beyond my reach was a precursor to sleeping for a few more hours.


    2. March 26, 2018 False Awakenings

      by , 03-26-2018 at 06:14 AM (Deep Inside The Lucid Dreamer's Subconscious)
      This morning I was sleeping on a friend's couch and had to get up at 9am for my father's birthday breakfast. I didn't want to miss the alarm and this was stressing me out, which ended up causing several false awakenings.

      The first false awakening I wake up and check my phone to see it's 1pm. I freak out and run to the shower.

      The second false awakening I wake up around 10:00am and freak out again.

      The third false awakening I wake up and a similar thing happens and I'm complaining to moo and kolby that my phone must be broken.

      The fourth false awakening I wake up on the other side of the couch looking at my friend jp. At the exact same time we go "I just had four false awakenings." Moo is to the left of me and tells us to repeat it again, which we do. Then we all freak out. I know I had only had three before this so this didn't really add up.

      The fifth false awakening I'm lying back on the couch on the normal side thinking this is a dream. The room is dimly lit in a purple color. I can see jp looking at me from the other side of the couch. Looking at the tv, I see a little girl. Her face starts to turn into something like the exorcist. I can hear myself making noises like "aaaah" but I'm not scared at all. Her and jp start to walk towards me. She changes into some sort of clown and I make more scared noises not feeling scared, I can hear jp saying "dude you're so weird." Then the clown morphs into a woman with dark hair dressed in a red dress. I make some sort of noise like I'm attracted to her, then she turns into a man and I make a noise that I'm freaked out. Jp again says that I'm weird.

      They get right to my face and I get up, this exploding into a very strange turn of events. The room is turned into some sort of event. I'm watching a commercial of some sort of these weird people, they were changing very rapidly, at some point it's a woman in a black outfit with a black mask and some other things as well. The background was constantly changing, the one I remember now is a hotel room background. The backgrounds looked like green screen effects and the people in front of the backgrounds stood out from them. It was some sort of chant and at the bottom of my vision I can see subtitles in an orange or red font. There's a little thing bouncing from each word as these people are saying the words.

      The words are "what the hell is that, what the hell is that" and I thought I might've seen "LOL" to the left and right of that line too. That line kept getting repeated. I keep saying out loud "what the hell is that, what the hell is that" as these backgrounds are changing and people are morphing. The people were indian women dressed in gowns dancing around at some point.
    3. 18-03-24 Trump, Colleague

      by , 03-26-2018 at 04:08 AM
      I was with a group of people, one of them being Trump. I said something to him, but kind of said something else and ended up feeling stupid.

      I interacted with an ex-colleague of mine, Mark (Arnouts). It was in an industrial area. He reeked of gasoline, so I told him this.

    4. Dream - Voice Of The Raccoon In Melbourne & The Priest Has Died

      by , 03-26-2018 at 02:58 AM
      Date of Dream: MON 26 MAR - 2018


      Dream No. 300 - Separated Sections

      Dream 300 A - Voice Of The Raccoon In Melbourne

      I don't remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, I heard that Kevin Miller (the voice of Sly Cooper) was coming to Australia. Not only that, but he was coming to my house. I met him standing on the side of the Monash freeway at night and offered to drive him back. I forgot what happened in the second scene. All I know is that my whole family were at the house and they were interacting with Kevin.

      The third scene took place in the garage and somehow, I now found out that Kevin had brought his dream children with him. The girl was called Minnie and she was Chinese, there was also a little boy with him, a Caucasian appearance, I'm not sure but I think his name was Becker. My parents were going to take a photo of me with Kevin and his dream kids. Kevin had an arm on one of my shoulders while jumping up and down and frantically waving. Meanwhile, there was me just being as still as a rock while smiling as best I could. I forgot what actions the dream kids were doing.

      When my mum had put down the camera from its photo/video taking position, Kevin laughed and told me that my mum was taking video footage. As I soon as I found out, I was in a state of shock, grousing over how I just stood there, smiling like an idiot when I could have done much more. Kevin then suggested we actually take some photos as well so I have a good souvenir. First of all, some were taken on the big camera and then there were a couple taken on my phone as well as Kevin's phone and then Minnie's and Becker's phones. That's all I can remember for this dream.

      Dream 300 B - The Priest Has Died (Lucid Dream 15)
      The first part of the dream was lucid. I actually started the lucid segment from a period of being awake; so I am aware of my surroundings without doing a reality check. Now to start the dream; I am in this hot, lava room, like in one of the scenes of the 1st Incredibles movie. I feel that something isn't right but I can't quite put my finger on it. I end up calling for Dreamy WB and she appears straight away.

      Within the lava scenery, she appears as usual, wearing all black but the lighting also made her skin and hair look extremely dark. I spoke to her for a while but I forgot what about. Then she spreads her arms out for a hug. As she's hugging me, the scene blurs out on me, changing itself and that's when I lose lucidity.

      I am then on the nature track near my house but I forgot specifically what was happening. I end up at this cafe, roaming the outside courtyard of it. Sitting at one of the benches, I see someone who claims to be Fr. M's son who looked half like Fr. M and half like GC but had short, black, curly hair on the top of his. I don't remember everything that he said to me but information was revealed that Fr. M had died. I questioned him and said that the death was actually in 2014.

      The scene then plays at my house, just next to the entrance hallway on the upper floor. My brother comes up the stairs and he looks about down. He tells me that Fr. M's son spoke to him and that he revealed something “not very nice”. I said to my brother, “I know, he's dead”. That's when my brother broke out into tears and walked off, slamming the door of his bedroom behind him. That's all I can remember about this dream.

    5. 3/25/18 | House

      by , 03-26-2018 at 01:37 AM (Fantastical Adventures)
      Scene: On a hill at night with a lone house on the ridge, walking downhill on the winding driveway.
      My younger sister and I had one hour to find and complete something involving random video games. We had to walk from the house to some building a quarter-mile away. The building had a carpeted floor.

    6. Plenty of Kissing

      by , 03-25-2018 at 08:37 PM (Slash's Mind Cave)
      I was in a bar with some friends. I turned around and saw a beautiful young woman with blonde hair, sitting at a table about 5 feet away and she was looking at me. I locked eyes with her.
      I could tell she wanted me to come and talk to her (which is weird because in waking life, I am terrible at recognizing flirtations) so I walked up to her.
      She looked at me all seductive like, and said, "So... wanna get out of here and..."
      I scanned my mind for the best way to say "yes", but nothing came to mind. Instead, I softly touched her leg which was dressed in black mesh tights. She smiled, so I knew I hadn't stepped out of line.
      I continued to stroke her leg and I leaned in for a kiss. We kissed. It was so good.


      I woke up. I really wanted to jump back into the dream, perhaps with DEILD, especially since I was conscious enough that I hadn't moved or opened my eyes.
      But I wanted to test out my "WBTB Lucid Dream Reminder Track" that I created, which has my own voice reminding me "this is a dream" over and over. So I picked up my phone, switched on the unlisted YouTube video on my phone, and laid back down.
      It took me a while to get back to sleep, but I remained still because I knew I would fall back asleep.

      Next thing I know, I'm driving my old, first car (black Ford Ka, little dinky thing). I had some of my old school friends (Craig, Alan and Ben) in the car with me.
      We drove into this big car park for what looked like some sort of shopping center.
      However it was not a shopping center. It was a big building full of games.
      We chose a time to meet back at the car, then we went in and we were each given a circular badge (I think with our names on them).

      The first game I remember playing was half indoors and half outdoors. We were running round some sort of cool obstacle course. There was more details to the game but I can't remember.

      The next thing I remember is finding an indoor game, held in what seemed a bit like a Gym hall from school. I stood and watched while people were split into teams, each team with a different colour vest. And it seemed the game had something to do with pushing trolleys about.

      I decided I wanted to give it a go, so I walked in and the yellow team claimed me. I got given a yellow vest and was pointed towards the yellow team.
      I was trying to speak, but it felt like I was clenching my jaw so tightly that I couldn't speak. This was definitely REM ationia shining through.
      I grabbed a trolley, and I met a young woman with blonde hair in my team (but not the same girl from the previous dream).
      I played the game, but I cannot remember how it went.

      Next thing I remember is being back in the main bit of the huge building, again it felt like a shopping center.
      I met the blonde girl again. I can't remember how it happened, but we ended up kissing. Again, so good.
      Then we ended up split apart, but we were still talking, through our badges which had a microphone and speaker in them.
      We met again a few times, each time we would start kissing, and each time it was amazing.

      The way we were talking, it felt like we were going to end up in a relationship.

      Next thing I remember is I had two badges, and I stuck them on my ears. In one badge, I was talking to the girl. In the other badge, I was talking to a school friend so I wouldn't forget that I have people to give a ride home.

      Next thing I remember is being inside the building, near the front entrance, and I went into a section which seemed like a hospital. I got lost trying to get back out, and the doctors and nurses were complaining about my presence. Eventually I found my way out.

      Then I remember getting a slush puppy and meeting the blonde girl again. We kissed some more. Then split up again.
      I was pretty excited that I had met a girl. But I kept reminding myself that I've got friends here and they need a lift home soon.

      I went outside to see if anyone was at the car yet. As soon as I walked outside I saw two people from my school (but not the ones who came with me). In real life, these two have been an item since high school and they are still together and doing well. So what I saw really surprised me. They were shouting and balling at each other.

      I walked past them, feeling quite awkward, and I saw other people from school watching them.

      I don't remember what happened next, the next thing I remember is finding out that the girl I had been kissing, is not going to have a relationship with me.
      I remember walking out of the center with my friends, and beside me was Bernadette from Big Bang Theory (except she was my age, it felt like she was an old school friend).
      Bernadette said, "Sorry it didn't work out..."
      I replied, "Ach it's fine. I've dropped the whole idea of getting a girlfriend so things like this don't hurt me anymore."

      Then I remember me and my friends, and a whole bunch of other people, running out of the building and down the side of the car park. It felt like Mario Kart, it was so chaotic.
      We reached this big mound of grass, like a small hill. We ran up the mound and flew off it, as if we just jumped a ramp in a car. It was really fun, flying through the air, then crashing into the ground and people were toppling on top of each other. Then we got up and started running back the way and continued the "race".


      And I think that is the point I woke up.
      My phone has this stupid Whatsapp reminder that pops up and it causes YouTube to stop playing before my voice even kicks in, so I now know why this damn "Reminder Track" hasn't been working.

    7. 24 Mar 2018 Mini lds

      by , 03-25-2018 at 08:20 PM
      I find myself in a room full of DCs and suddenly awareness increases to lucidity. I recall my thoughts from the previous night to try to score more points from the competition. There's a particularly distracting DC in front of me and I weight in the options of going for dream control vs kissing. I decide to go for the latter, explaining to myself I can do dream control a bit later. There are around 8 DCs surrounding us and I begin to feel uncomfortable.

      Not sure what happens, whether a dream end or possibly loss of lucidity. It seems like a little black out but I return to pretty much the same scene, aware again. End of memory. Awake. Back to sleep.

      Another dream episode where I become lucid again, different indoors place, I don't look around too much. Once again a lone DC catches my attention, though this time not as distracting. I have the feeling my memory of the previous dreams is becoming blurred as I didn't write anything down.

      I take time to focus on the DC and save the memory of the previous and current dreams to this moment. I raise my fingers to count three lucid moments for the night.
      The dream ends sometime soon and I do a brief mental review prior to going back to sleep.
    8. Log 1060 - Spring Lucid Dream Competition - Day 9

      by , 03-25-2018 at 03:50 PM (Dream Logs DWN-12)
      Created Sunday 25 March 2018

      Got the WILD to note. There were fragments before that, but I'd forgotten everything of them.

      Very long moment of insomnia following WBTB attempt, before transitioning to below.

      Dream 1 - Log 1052 - Spring Lucid Dream Competition - Day 1

      WILD transition in bed. It felt as if someone was embracing me around the neck, from which I quickly freed myself. I floated up, and tried going out the door, only to get pulled through the floor and into the void. Teleport by spinning and dashing backwards. I turned up in my living room during the dead of night. I called for light, but nothing happened. I then phased through a wall.

      Things warped. I was now pulling myself up from the floor of an unknown home. This environment was likewise dark, save for the corner, which flickered with dull grey light. Thought calling for vividness would fix the visuals, but this too had no immediate effect. I paced around, when the place suddenly became vibrant and clear. This locale seemed to be an old structure built of wood, its large furniture covered in white tarp. Near the door, I spotted a polygonal figure, a young woman with blonde pigtails clad in a Victorian-era red-white plaid dress and bonnet, exiting to bright streets outside. She seemed a bit like an animated life-sized doll, kinda creepy actually. Anyway, I decided to jump through the large window near the door. Instead of phasing, I'd clumsily smashed through the glass, alarming the girl, who slowly backed away. Well, at least this didn't hurt me one bit.

      The streets nearby, in contrast to the house and its denizen, seemed as any contemporary suburbs. There was a patch of grass in the median bar ahead. Looked a good place as any for the comp challenge. I tried summoning a cloth sheet without results. Luckily, I found several of such laid out on a small, grassy lot in front of a nearby tunnel/highway ramp. These were raggedy brown hemp sheets, old and dusty, not to mention adjacent to a collection of trash. Well, not the most flattering place for a picnic, but oh well. I seated myself there. I then stared at my hand, which seemed and felt like wood. In any case, I conjured up a basket in sight. So, I reached inside, but only found a single peanut. Moreover, save for some bitterness, it was completely tasteless.

      I then wandered off through the tunnel. Things warped again. Now, I was sliding down inside the slopes of a narrow passageway made of smooth stone. Got distracted with thoughts on summoning something/someone? Things destabilized two minutes later, and I wake up.

    9. Smart Dawn

      by , 03-25-2018 at 03:22 PM
      I was semi lucid during this part of the dream. I was in a room that was merged with an outside scenery, talking to a girl when suddenly Dawn came by and said he brought me a present. It was a big wooden connected ring that was made up of small wooden cubes that came in distinct colorful patterns. I thanked him for it but thinking it was supposed to be a bracelet i put it around my wrist. It was too big though so I took it apart, detaching it and putting it back together as a smaller ring.

      It was still pretty big though and i couldn't keep the cubes attached to eachother because of dream gravity. A big chunk of it fell apart. In order to save it i used dream control to put it back together. It worked well. After that when i saw him come closer i apologized for messing with it but told him i was only fixing it so that it would fit.He said it was okay.

      I than walked around and was looking for a green macaw female parrot that i felt was supposed to be present. I couldn't find her though. "Where is the green parrot that use to be here?" I asked Dawn
      We sat down and he told me "she died at four years old because she was only surrounded by indoor lighting and she needed natural sunlight" and something about them living less. I felt sad that she was gone but accepted that it was what happened.


      Notes:In this dream Dawn made me realize that i need to pay attention to my bird's getting the light they need more. The gift didn't need to be an accessory to be important either. I should have left it as it was instead of making it into what i wanted it to be.

      I tried painting the patterns but it's not coming out right, my memory is also failing me so I'll just leave it like this. I think its okay enough to give you idea of what it was.

    10. Day 37 & 38: Picking Up

      by , 03-25-2018 at 05:57 AM (An Insomniac's Dream Journal)
      Day 37:

      Fell asleep at: 11:30 PM

      Woke up at: 7:10 AM


      Dream 45: Scarlet Red Dress

      I'm touring the streets of some sort of rustic, European city; though it definitely reminded me of Spain more than anything. Walking the cobblestone streets, I find a beautiful girl coming out of some nondescript boutique. She had black, curly hair, slightly tannish skin, and was wearing a red dress.

      As if straight out of a schmaltzy romance flick, I immediately pull her aside and start dancing. We were dancing for about 5 minutes straight, and I gotta admit, it was pretty fun (And, well, you know...). The dream then shifts to something I wish to forget.


      Dream 46: Monkey Business

      My sister and I are, again, caught in another perilous driving situation. She's driving a really big truck, about the size of a schoolbus (and twice as wide), while driving on an incredibly narrow street.

      Through this colonia, my sister finds a way to make things worse. There's a schoolbus right in front of us, but we were too late to stop ourselves from crashing into it. Instead of students, however, a flurry of chimps are pouring out of the bus. The noise they make is so shrill and so loud that it wakes me up entirely. Turns out it was the fire alarm that was making that horrible noise.


      Day 38:

      Fell asleep at: 12:00 AM

      Woke up at: 10:00 AM


      Dream 47: Kev' In Da' Shop

      Well this came outta nowhere. In some random coffee shop, I'm sitting in my table alongside a couple of unidentifiable DCs, when Kevin Hart walks in through the door. I don't question it, though, and I stare at him blankly.

      He walks over to the magazine rack and starts talking. I think he's doing a skit, but I can't quite remember what he was talking about. He was walking around, cracking jokes, and just generally having a good time.


      Dream 48: Sun's Song

      I'm in the living room, just minding my own business. My mom and dad are preparing to go to bed, so they both go into their room and leave me alone in the living room.

      As I'm sitting on the couch, I notice something peculiar. The sun has already begun to rise. "That's weird." I say to myself. I go over to my room to ask my brother what time it was: 2 o' clock.

      Immediately I rush outside, telling my brother to bring his phone. In the process of getting out of my house, the sun has risen and set in a matter of seconds.

      Once I get there, I notice it is extremely windy. My brother brought my two puppies with him, too. They looked hilarious what with the wind blowing all the fur on their face to the side and them sticking their tongues out.


      Dream 49: Hotel Construction

      A timelapse of a beachfront hotel plays out. For about 5 minutes, I see the entire construction progress. Oddly enough, it was all done in Minecraft.

      The perspective then switches to a first-person POV, my POV. I'm talking to my dad about something I can't quite remember, but I remember feeling a little bit down after that conversation. The sun was setting, and so I decided to walk into the hotel myself.

      Inside, I spot my brother and my mom, and I also decide to chat with them. It wasn't exactly uplifting either, and I only wound up feeling a bit more melancholic after it.


      Dream 50: Hot Demon Girl

      Playing Doom 2016 when a cutscene pops up. There's this attractive looking lady, about in her 20s, in this gray and dusty hallway. She is slowly making her way towards me, and progressively getting more demon-like as she does so.

      I pay particularly close attention to her eyes, a muted gray color, yet representative of her beauty and humanity. Even as she gets more, frankly, disgusting, her eyes remain quite nice. The dream ends with her transformation into a full-blown demon.
    11. Log 1059 - Phantoms and Feasts and Other Assorted Stories

      by , 03-25-2018 at 02:47 AM (Dream Logs DWN-12)
      Created Saturday 24 March 2018

      Scrap Group 1
      Modding Dwarf Fortress.

      Several WBTBs, during which I meditated. This allowed for very present dreams, just not lucid ones.

      Dream 1 - Telekinesis Treats

      The visuals were clear. I was working at my old job at the gas station. My former bosses and quite a few co-workers were there. That almost tipped me off to the state, but just almost. It did at least explain why I thoughtlessly practiced telekinesis to stock various things. This included hot food items, many of which were a lot more elaborate foods than you'd find in the place, including shish-kebabs. The dream ended shortly afterwards.

      Dream 2 - Phantoms and Feasts


      The visuals were a a bit dim. I was in a large basement, probably from an apartment building. Soon, dozens of spirits creeped out of the dark corners of the room, making nuisances of themselves, if not outright attacking. Of them, I could identify various kinds of fairies, and several Arachne (half women, half spiders) . An HUD revealed elemental variants of these creatures (ie Electric Fairy). Access to ritual magic allowed me to banish the sprites, and, depending on their species, to either bind or bargain with them. Those that would negotiate usually made requests of exorcising other spirits, especially those they disliked or were not of their own kind. I only took agreements which would have marks that were already hostile. Binds were more direct, but took a good deal of time to get in place.

      As the number of invasive spirits diminished, a figure descended from the stairs, the ghost of a dark skinned woman with long, black hair. She was named after a famous alchemist (Paracelsus, I think), and, I sensed, was a powerful conjurer in her own right. This ghost was a bind-able, but, with all the other lingering spirits, it would've been unwise to try such at the moment. I then "recalled" just being there to finish some laundry. So, I requested a "time out", and bade the sprites come back after I finished my chores. Humorously, they abided.

      I headed to the laundry area, which itself lead to a hallway. There, I spotted my sister, Almira, conversing with uncle Otto on a wireless home phone. She got bored of that, and passed the phone to me. My uncle asked of a party that was apparently going on there, particularly if there were any leftovers. He was still considering going there, given the long ride from central New Jersey to the Bronx (where I felt I was at the time). I guessed there might've been rice and peas, and maybe some cold food items. Still, I decided to verify.

      Soon, I arrived in an outdoor dining area, the place arranged into a fancy banquet. Whole tables were occupied entirely with many-tiered platters of meats, of which included beef slices, Peking duck, and roast goat. There were also trays of pasties and fancy snack items which could be identified.

      Unfortunately, before I could try anything, the dream ended.
    12. DEILD Journey #4

      by , 03-24-2018 at 06:12 PM
      I woke up repeatedly throughout the night but not with eyes shut. Didn't have too much time to set my intention perhaps. After my initial successes, a part of me is also afraid of failure because this is a promising technique that I would like to work for me, and now I'm somehow expecting it as a result. But I will focus on the progress, the successes, and remember that it is about training over time. I will get this. I will try meditating for relaxation immediately prior to my next attempts, and see if this helps. A part of me suspects that confidence in success is a huge part of whether or not it actually works.

      After a wake back to bed of 45 mins I try to WILD. I took an attitude of: anything that occurs is an experience happening to me, I don't control it, so I will just let it happen and observe whatever it is, even if that experience is me becoming too excited and things coming to a halt. I tried FILD on my back and became quite relaxed, body numb, and I noticed the swirls and blobs of light becoming more and more frequent. They became more intense than usual probably due to my mindset, and I felt my eyes starting to open automatically, and I struggled to keep them shut, but unfortunately they fluttered open a little bit. Switching to my front, I was on the brink of sleep and was sometimes forgetting what I was trying to do, and would then revert back to the FILD practice. I let myself forget about lucid dreaming, and just let myself sleep, but also remembering the finger practice without consciously thinking about the WILD attempt. Re-interpreting it as something I do to help me sleep normally, so that I wasn't so focused on lucid dreaming, which tends to keep me excited and too alert. I noticed rapidly flashing lights and the sensation that something had just happened to my body, like a heaviness or something. My alarm went off shortly.

      Later noon attempt: body became very relaxed and numb, and there were swirls of light, but I was drifting off less often than earlier. The excitement/heart rate was high and I was having trouble mindfully/gently allowing thoughts and metacognition to come and go, returning attention the task. Mindful breathing did help somewhat but improvements and dedicated mindfulness practice may pay dividends.

      Edit: Afternoon attempt (3pm): When had some HI and it felt like my view of it was zooming in, my eyes just automatically started to open. How frustrating!!

      Dream (from night before waking)

      I am in England with my girlfriend (I think), and am driving over what looks like a Scottish countryside road, replete with rolling hills overlooking beautiful small lakes. There are old stone buildings on the hill tops and elsewhere along the road, and the day is a cloud one, but still the scene is picturesque. I am sitting in an airport terminal with some people, KZ included. We discuss driving to Cape Cod (USA) before leaving England, because this is one of my favorite places and I would like to go. I think that KZ leaves today to go back to work, but he says that he is leaving in the morning and can go out on the town tonight.

      I am at work now, and there is a toy remote control helicopter similar to the one my girlfriend's brother owns. I play with it and fly it around the office. I almost crash it a number of times but manage to salvage the mini flight. The lights are off in the other end of the office, because I decided to save power and only turn on the ones that I would need. I am completely alone here, nobody else is at work. I am disembodied and flying a helicopter in the third person now, and am hovering above three warehouses below me. There is someone in one of them, communicating with me via radio or walkie talkie when I am hovering about them directly. This is some sort of drug bust, and they are perhaps undercover.

    13. White Plant Among The Greenery

      by , 03-24-2018 at 05:52 PM
      *Messed up title. It was a plant but with no flowers.

      I was non lucid at first but became lucid in my old room.There I looked at the window and hopped up to fly through it. However, when I managed to get through I felt myself turn upside down and I was now in the beach water.At first I heard zombie noises like moaning but than it stopped and I just enjoyed feeling the waves of the water passing around me and pushing back.For a bit I stayed like that and tried calling Dawn but than the ocean dissipated and became a mountainous area where I was attacked by not very visible lions and wild dogs. As I pushed them back and felt them bite me I thought about how prey animals feel when attacked. Eventually I decided to make them leave by calling Dawn. They ended up running away after I did.

      When I got up I noticed I was now in a city that was becoming flooded. That's when a violet red book flew past me with japanese hiragana and kanji. I could read the hiragana which said "sakaru" and something else. Which is not a real word but I dismissed it and as I looked around it felt like I was going to wake up.

      Standing in front of the old house bathroom mirror now I was doing my hair but kept aware of how I felt and the possibility that I was still dreaming.
      That's when I remembered that I wasn't living there anymore and went into the room. Curious I looked through the window to see the yard and saw a lot of green plants with a huge white plant in the center. I felt like it represented something pure. It was nice to look at but than my thoughts ended up changing it into a carnivorous plant that growled. I looked away from it than thought of Dawn
      Dawn didn't come but i began to be pulled away as the room darkened and thinking I would wake up, I woke up.

    14. 3/24/18 (L)x5 | Traffic, Buildings, Samus

      by , 03-24-2018 at 02:14 PM (Fantastical Adventures)
      -1-This LD lasted less than 10 seconds and took place at my old house.
      -2-The next LD in this group happened after a lengthy scene of odd questioning in a hyper-realistic mesh between my old house and another house. Even the shower was near perfect. Later, I finally did realize I was dreaming. Samus appeared in a turquoise drag racer while her Sm4sh victory theme played. I lost lucidity shortly after. The scene was a busy-ish road with trees and small buildings. There was an intersection to the north.
      -3-I regained lucidity for a while as I jumped on top of trucks and buildings.
      -4-(DEILD) I spawned on the northbound side of the same road, looking west. I tried to take over a large, red thing that resembled a semi truck, but I couldn't open the door. Seconds later, I approached the intersection from the southbound side, and was immediately surrounded by cops. On one side were Americans, and on the other were Chinese.
      "The Chinese are quick to secure their target." --a text in a book

      -5-(DEILD) I spawned in a tall building east of the parking lot, which was north of the intersection by a half-block. I look to my right and see a room with FNAF characters in it.
      "Oh, look at that," I said, slightly annoyed. I was not a fan in the slightest. As I continued east inside, one of the characters followed me and acted like a hyperactive child with ADHD. Looking up, I saw that the ceiling of this wide, concrete-floored hallway was about 5 stories high. The character then turned into Pinkie Pie, so I shoved her off a convenient ledge.

      Lucid Time: 4m5s--6m25s

    15. Dream - Sharing Photos

      Date of Dream: SAT 24 MAR - 2018



      Dream No. 299 - Sharing Photos

      I don't remember much of this dream. I was in my bedroom on my phone, just browsing on the internet. I decided to open up my Instagram account and when I went over to the real WB's page, it was public after it was set to private for a very long time. After studying the page for long enough, I logged onto my Facebook and found out that I actually had three messages from her. Within the first one, she apologised for “hurting me”.

      In all the three messages, she then said that she had all these photos of her me and she uploaded them within the messages. The first message was just general photos. The second message, she said, were “photos of when we were in Dandenong”; and I forgot what photos she put in the third message. There were heaps of photos, like hundreds, so it's weird how they were compressed into just three messages; it was like a gallery. That's all I can seem to remember for that dream.
