Jamie Dreamt I woke up in bed and Jamie was there already getting busy with something naughty. Won't give any details either than she likes to make comical faces. Dark Strange dream. I was in a room with a young girl maybe 8. This was a FA on a particular day where i was having trouble sleeping. So while I'm trying to babysit this girl i am trying to sleep in bed and the room is small. So i get her to go to sleep as well. But I tell her to go to the corner of the bed and not beside me, I don't want anyone to walk in and think I'm a pedo. She's restless though and is hard to convince to go to sleep. There's a part where we were also playing video games on a TV. FA, i'm in the same bed but have sleep apnea, or paralysis. I look at the ceiling and see an evil face in the pattern of texture spatter. I immediately feel it's a demonic presence. I can feel it trying to take over my mind. I let it in for a while, but I only feel it's pure darkness and fear. It wants to spread fear because it FEARS eternity in hell, which is whee it will wind up eventually. I call out to Jesus a bit and... FA, back in the room with the girl. I ask he if she fell asleep yet. She says no. I say, "Me neither." I get up and apperently her mother is there but she's talking about demonic things (maybe the same demon controlling multiple levels of dreams???). We get into an argument about eligion and I say I am saved by Jesus. She tries to retort and says we won't get along. good to have a nice jamie dream though.
Date of Dream: SUN 19 JUL - 2020 Dream No. 691 - Back To Croatia I don’t remember how this dream started. From where I do remember, my mum was mentioning something about her and my grandma going to Croatia. The dream made me think like they were going to be gone forever, however they were apparently only going for six months. In addition, my grandfather was also going to be going with them (who is deceased in real life). I had to make a decision on whether to stay home with my dad and my brother or go with my mum, grandma and grandpa. I decided I would go but then I also realised that I would lose everything I knew. I had very little time to get my luggage packed and I also had to label every single object or the airport would lose it. I picked up a laminated Riku and stared at it, wondering how I could put a blue label on it to say that he was mine. Eventually, the laminate morphed to give an extra spare space tabbed above his head so I ended up using a hole-punch, tieing the string through the hole, and attaching the blue tab to the string. I then also made another realisation; that we could still be in Croatia when it was my birthday, so nothing would be the same. I packed frantically. I can’t remember anything else about this dream. Dream No. 691 Dream Guide: None Lucid?: No
Date of Dream: SAT 18 JUL - 2020 Dream No. 690 - Warioware Dream Eater I don’t remember much about this dream. From what I can remember, I was in an unknown house and was drawing on some sort of device which seemed like a cross between a phone and a table. I seemed to be drawing horribly rough sketches of some of the Warioware characters. First of all was 13-Amp and she was almost non-identifiable due to how messy she was. Next was 9-Volt and he only looked a little bit better. Last but not least was 18-Volt and next to him I also ended up drawing the Dream Eater sigil from Kingdom Hearts. And then the dream used this illusion to make me think that the sigil was placed on the back of his jacket. That’s all I can remember about this dream. Dream No. 690 Dream Guide: None Lucid?: No 18-Volt was still identified as a dream guide by me due to the Kingdom Hearts sigil, but because he didn't actually help me in anyway, the dream guide tab remains as 'none'.
Date of Dream: FRI 17 JUL - 2020 Dream No. 689 - Training At Disney Castle The dream started with my at my house; the surroundings outside seeming like it was very early, like it was still night time but I could see. Back to what was going on in the house; my aunty had come over for a visit. Both my parents were at home but only my mum was seemingly around at the time. My aunty was talking to us about an opportunity she had for me as some sort of work experience, it had something to do with all these photos that were now all of sudden lying on the floor. I thought the project was a bit corny and so I didn’t like the idea of it. However, my mum got angry and in-fact, both my parents as a collective were angry (my aunty was just disappointed), so I realised I had to get out of there as fast as I could. I only had a little bit of a head-start to scramble out of the house once I then realised that my parents were chasing me! I rushed out the back door and then scampered around the house to try and get to the front. Though I realised though that if I exited through the streets, my parents would detect me and be likely to get me. So instead, I flew what felt freakishly high, and went over the roof, escaping from the back blocks of my group of houses. As I then went back down towards the streets and started walking again, I called for Dreamy WB but she didn’t respond. I then tried for 18-Volt, no response from him either but there was this energy suggesting that he was still angry with me. I thought I had run out of options, so although I couldn’t get help, I had to keep moving or my parents would catch up with me. However, as I started walking up the hill towards the milk-bar, I saw Riku casually walking on the other side of the road (in his KH3 appearance) that the milk-bar was on. I then remembered that Riku was my third option and so yelled out to him so he could hear me across the street. It took quite a lot of tries but he eventually noticed me, quickly turning his head sideways to see me and then he crossed the road to come to my side. Riku looked at me like he could tell I was anxious from my parents, so he came and hugged me. However, when he put his arms around me, both he and I ascended into the air and I realised he wanted to take me somewhere. For a while, it just seemed like he was transporting me casually within my area, but then he paused while in mid-air and told me to make sure I was holding onto him tightly. I realised that he wanted to fly me to Kingdom Hearts. So then I made sure I was holding onto him for dear life; my arms around his neck, my body pressed into his chest, and my head perched over one of Riku’s shoulders. However, Riku seemed to hesitate his next move, as if he noticed some sort of risk. He gently pushed my head off his shoulder and put it ‘behind his’ in regards to the direction we were supposed to be facing for this action to work. Once he made sure I was secure and ‘out of harms way’, he flew extremely fast with his head slightly backwards, however swinging it forward at the last minute in order to have enough impact to bash the sky open, forming an inter-dimensional hole. At first, the hole seemed to be nothing but ‘darkness’, but as he flew back and put me back into a normal position, we could actually see into the other world. It was at that point that I realised he not only wanted to take me to Kingdom Hearts, but ultimately to Disney Castle which was a sub-dimension of Kingdom Hearts, so he had to take me through yet another ‘rift’. Once Riku had taken me through all the necessary ‘holes’, I realised we were finally at the Disney world, but it didn’t look cartoony; rather it was quite a realistic setting. The grounds looked the setting in the Lord of The Rings / The Hobbit movies where they’d have the major battles; the grass was a very lush green, the field being wide and mountains being seen in the distance. As we were going across the field, I noticed Riku’s altitude getting lower and lower until eventually, he landed us right in front of Disney Castle (which did look like the actual Disney Castle but smaller) and released me. I realised that there was an event going on at Disney Castle in which Riku wanted to utilise to help train me for how I could deal with my parents. It was something called ‘Ninja Battles’, even though it had absolutely nothing to do with Ninjas. It was some sort of physical game but I cannot describe the specific actions. First it was just me and Riku and although we were battling each other, I didn’t mind as it was only for training and no one was actually going to hurt the other. I was stopped though with the realisation that my parents had found their way into this realm. I ran in a panic to see my mum walking down a now visible road in the distance while looking down at her phone (suspecting she was in contact with my dad). I ran back to Riku and was talking at him like at motormouth, asking him what on Earth I should do with the knowledge of my parents finding their way in. However, Riku’s calm response and unique perspective surprised me. He said that they may also have come here to improve themselves and to just leave them be. We were than able to get back into the ‘Ninja Battles' and I told Riku that although I was going up against him, I found it fun as I knew we were only training. He gave a slight smile and then we got back into it. However this time, others also seemed to join us and it was now between 6 people rather than just the 2 of us. The other 4 were random, unidentified Disney characters. After continuing to playfully feud for awhile, the dream ended and I woke up to an early time at dawn. Dream No. 689 Dream Guide: Riku Lucid?: No
Date of Dream: THU 16 JUL - 2020 Dream No. 688 - Insult Competition I don’t remember much about this dream. From where I do remember, I came into some sort of very large theatre, with groups of people I have interacted with throughout all stages of my life; the majority though, were those from my high school. I remember we were going to watch some sort of movie but I have forgotten what the movie was about. There was all this time before the movie and I noticed people were moving around the large room, with lots of floor space, and interacting with each other. Lea/Axel from Kingdom Hearts approached me and he said that I was going to be facing him for Round 1 of this competition where we had to try and insult each other as brutally as we could. The winner was obviously who affected the other the most, and Lea said that the winner would then face the final boss, Riku. I had my wits about me and knew the dream was manipulating them, so even though I lost against Lea, I was glad that I wouldn’t have to go and face my otherwise influenced dream guide. Later on in the dream, I was in another scene; on the ‘lakeside’ boardwalks again that seems to be a recurring area across my dreams. This time, I seemed to have a concern about my brother and so decided to call out for Dreamy WB to come and help me. She wasn’t coming at all though. Eventually, I saw Riku (KH3 appearance) and so called for him, but he actually didn’t stop. Rather he kept walking on and so I actually had to chase after him. In-fact, he left the scene and that’s when I realised that although it looked like Riku, it actually wasn’t in; the dream brought in a fake to trick me. After that, I woke up. Dream No. 688 Dream Guide: None Lucid?: No
Date of Dream: TUE 14 JUL - 2020 Dream No. 687 - The Dream's Unethical Employment I can’t remember how this dream started. From where I do remember, it seemed a cold rainy night but then the sky was lit so I could still see from natural light. Along with my brother in the car, I had to drive my grandma to the seemingly local hospital for her to get some tests done. Compared to real life, the hospital grounds were a complex maze of roads and roundabouts and it was hard to find where the right building was. The dream did a weird shift with time. I was still driving the car but now my grandma seemed to be in the hospital. I ended up for some reason slowly driving past the hospital and through the windows, I could see nothing but elevators everywhere and all there doors were open, all the elevators large and having a very ominous look about them. As I was driving past, I had the passing thought of ‘guess I need Riku again’ but the thought was nowhere near strong enough to warrant a scene change or an appearance from Riku himself; the dream continued its course but I wasn’t disappointed. I was then seen to be leaving the hopsital grounds and I had to find a way to get back onto the correct side of the freeway to get back home, which in the dream was a completely different suburb to IRL. This was the part of the dream where my brother seemed to be very bossy in the car and so he was telling what to do but not helping me. Eventually, I didn’t manage to find my way onto the freeway and ended up in this unknown suburb. I then seemed to be by myself and that’s when Riku appeared in his KH3 appearance. He didn’t come to help me with anything specifically; rather he came to share something with me as a friend, in-fact it’s like he was hoping I could help. He looked disgusted as he told me “the dream’s making me work for a strip club!”. Instead of trying to help Riku find a way out, I thought it’d be easier just to cooperate with the dream, so I reassured him that I would go and work at the strip club as well. Riku still wasn’t impressed with the idea of his forced employment but his energy was suggesting he felt better about it with having me for support. However, after this, the dream quickly moved me on to another scene and it was said that to prove I have what it takes to work at the strip club, I needed to work at KFC first. I was indeed shown in a KFC uniform and I was approaching the oven full of chickens. As I picked up a pair of tongs, I was shown flipping all the individual pieces of chicken over, one by one. That scene then ended. There was then a scene with my mum and we seemed to be on this odd looking flying ship and was flying through this really cool dark cave with occasional glowing crystals of blue light. As we got deeper in though, it became just an empty black void and in-fact, everything outside the ship felt empty, even myself inside the ship felt weightless. I was freaked out, but at the same time, because my mum was with me, I felt fascinated and like the experience was so surreal. I was then on a beach and I was working at a seaside restaurant. My job was to serve the customers on the tables but in a weird way. I had to purchase the food and then give it to them. I asked a staff member how to do it but they weren’t helpful and were telling me things I already knew. As I paid for apple juice and then took a bottle out of the fridge, about to give it to a customer, I asked; “and how am I supposed to make money from this?”. I suddenly noticed Australian singer Taylor Henderson sitting at a table and he piped up and said to me, “the money they give you is what you make”. I can’t remember what else he said and I can’t remember anymore of the dream. Dream No. 687 Dream Guide: Riku Lucid?: No
Date of Dream: MON 13 JUL - 2020 Dream No. 686 - Reality Is Believing I don’t remember how this dream started. From where I do remember, my family and I were just finishing up at our beach-side holiday destination. On the way back home, I seemed to end up by myself but at another accommodation complex, somewhere within the Dandenong Ranges. It was an entire group of people and I heard that it was supposed to split up between males and females. I was a special case though; the person told me that I was going to be in the mens’ cabin to be with Riku. As the announcement was being made, a short sub-scene was playing with Riku, supposedly in the cabin, in his KH2 appearance, wearing his Organisation XIII coat, but he looked happy and had this fatherly energy about him like he was ready to care for me. I was now so excited and couldn’t wait until we got to be in our cabins. The next scene felt like we were finally getting access to the cabins, but the scene actually took place at my other grandparents’ house. Apparently there was still the females cabin and the males cabin, but then I also heard that there was a now a third group made called the Dream Eaters cabin (Dream Eaters IRL is the Kingdom Hearts interpretation of Dream Guide) and apparently I was going to be with the Dream Eaters. I then found out that it would consist of 2 men and 2 ladies. I went in the back room behind my grandparents’ garage and there were 4 laminated pieces of paper in there, who were supposedly going to be my Dream Eaters. One of them was Riku, and another one of them was WBD… I can’t remember the other man and woman. I felt more excited than in the last scene and I realised that I had to awaken them. I went up to the couch which the 4 pieces of paper were laying on and I recited a repetitive prayer over them to awaken them. Three of the Dream Eaters had awaken, but I was notably struggling with Riku. However, Master Yen Sid appeared, supposedly walking in from the garage and he caught my attention. I turned towards him and he spoke to me, saying something like “you might be struggling because you think he’s not real but in order to awaken him, you need to think he’s real”. As Master Yen Sid walked off again I felt this new, confident energy within me as I recited something very short and indeed Riku became human, once again in his KH2, Organisation XIII appearance but again without the blindfold. I was excited to see the other Dream Eaters but I was most excited to see him and almost screamed in excitement when he got up off the couch. Riku didn’t hesitate and went outside into the backyard with me. Once we were outside, we were talking with each other and he was laughing as he then did cartwheels on the grass in an attempt to entertain me but I could tell he was having fun while doing them too. However, the fun couldn’t last forever and the dream scene changed again. I was now by myself and was apparently getting ready to see Edward (Ed) B at a convention. There was a sub-scene of him talking to me. He said that he’d only allow two people in the room at a time because there was going to be no one around to protect him; from this, there was this grave feeling that I would miss out and that I had travelled to the con for nothing. My surrounding energy was projecting the thought of ‘he seems to care more about himself than any of his fans. Why can’t he take alternative measures to make sure everyone gets their turn?’. I can’t remember anything else about this dream. Dream No. 686 Dream Guide: Riku, WBD, (+1 man), (+1 woman) Lucid?: No I was unpleasantly shocked to see that WBD was portrayed as a dream guide in this dream, because IRL, she's one of my online community members that has mistreated me in the past. In contrast though, I was pleasantly surprised and honoured to see Master Yen Sid, and the fact that he seemed to already have an awareness of the connection between me and Riku. Also, my dreams seem to use the term 'Dream Eaters', but that's basically KH-DDD's interpretation of 'Dream Guides'.
Date of Dream: SUN 12 JUL - 2020 Dream No. 685 - Ice-Cream At The Cinemas I don’t remember much about this dream. From where I do remember, the whole family were shopping in the main area of Ferntree Gully at the large Woolworths store. I forgot specifically what we bought there but I can remember it was all things pleasant, seeing as though we were on a family outing. On the way back home, there was talk between me and my mum that we wanted to stop by this cinema, not to watch the movies but because apparently they sold the best homemade ice-cream there and we wanted to stock up enough to take home for the Coronavirus lockdown. Once we got to the cinema complex, we thought it was shut completely and was disappointed that we couldn’t get our ice-cream. My mum and I still decided to go into the shop and we managed to convince the staff to give us a tub. I ended up choosing the strawberry ice-cream. The rest of the scene showed a scene of mum and I back at home trying to make another one of their flavours ourselves; a mix of chocolate fudge brownie and cookies and cream. I can’t remember anything else about this dream. Dream No. 685 Dream Guide: None Lucid?: No
9th May Dream: I was in Texas or Arizona or such. A hot and arid place in America at any rate. I remember only a few details from the end. I could see through a panoramic view of an online maps thing; I was looking up Niagara falls. To my surprise there was a city there. It was grand, modern and overall beautiful. The water courses ran under and through the city. It was a sunny day in the view. Then the next thing I remember, I was packing up or something, to walk there from where I was. There were others doing the same. One of them was a Turkish or Arabic man, not much older than me. We knew each other vaguely. As we said goodbye as we both got ready to leave, he said to me "may God be with you in your travels". I simply replied "goodbye", and quickly regretted it. I realised I could have said goodbye in my own language and not in English, as it would have had a more similar meaning to his own, longer, expression. I walked through a flat and rocky, dusty area. There were rock cliff faces to either side, or perhaps ancient ruined buildings. I came to a Y shaped road junction in the middle of the desert; this bit had a few hills but was mostly flat otherwise. Cars went by. I remember noticing a car drive past and I noticed the driver somewhat clearly, a woman, medium length hair, tied at the back. The car was a faded cerulean blue and quite old and blocky-looking. I was getting ready to cross and I looked towards the horizon beyond the road. Big red canyons, piled up in an abnormal way. Dream ended shortly after. Dream: Again remember little of the dream's start. I remember being at the foot of a mountain, then teleporting or entering some dark place. Then there was fighting as I was going through this cramped and strange factory place. It did some laundry of mine as I went through it. Some pants and hoodies, they became a warmer colour as they were made ready for me. Some boys, two twins I think, got my attention and they lead me out from the place. I think I was getting stuck on some mechanism when they started talking to me. The place had many traps anyway, when I first got in, there were flying needle darts and other things. The reality and history of this place were just somehow known to me to be different from normal. I didn't realise I was dreaming even so, but it was like a mix of Trigun and Path of Exile. I remember then being in a shack of some kind, made up of corrugated panels. There was an old man? Some gadgets scattered about. I remember we talked for a little while about this world of theirs. I made some surprised remark about how they had all this technology but seemed to live otherwise primitive lives. I don't remember his reply but he was amused I think. Then I remember being in a basement of some other shack place. It was night time, but I think I had walked there. It was in the middle of a town of sorts. This woman owned it and we talked. As I stood next to her at surface level, there was some kind of dust storm outside and I could see people in sorts of brown power armour. There wasn't much light and so through the dust I mostly just got glimpses of things, even though I think I'd seen the surrounding area earlier in the dream. The woman told me a story about how she got this bit of land, and then I could "see" a memory; not far at all from us, less than thirty yards away, the vision began with a medieval gate to a different area of this town, with a cliff to the right. It was day time, and this little girl, no older than eight, walked toward the gate with her dog. They looked cartoony. A massive castle tower fell from the high cliff, crashing on the gate. The impact made a small shockwave and the girl and dog were blown back a small distance, the dog landed in some deep water and yelped and drowned, the girl crying and trying to save him. This vision made me sad and the feeling carried through when I woke up later. The woman told me that the girl was her friend when she was younger, and that she didn't know where she was anymore. She seemed sad for not knowing, but she also seemed to convey the feeling that maybe the other girl didn't want to be friends with her anymore. The woman's face seemed to imply regret and guilt (from inaction?). I remember we walked outside for a bit in the area in front of the gate, it was sunny and clear. Notes: - Although the second dream did so very allegorically rather than in a literal sense, it reflected a lot of my thoughts at the time of these dreams. Firstly how we all live in a world of technology, but we are otherwise primitive without it because it is not a part of us. Also in the same way, technology did not necessarily makes these peoples' lives any better and this reflected my trend of thoughts about how many of us simply take what we have for granted. - It was odd that I was aware of the dream-world to be a different one from the waking one, but I did not come close to any thresholds of pre-consciousness, as far as I can recall. - It is not often that a feeling within a dream carries on into waking except when it was the last thing felt, which wasn't the case here. - My regret about not saying goodbye to the Arabic man in the same manner comes from the value I put on words sometimes and also reflects how I struggle with not being able to say what I actually wanted to have said to someone.
8th May Dream: I was in the car with H. H was driving very fast and race-like, even though we weren't in a rush to get anywhere. Pretty close one between a double length bus and a car. I remember the tyres screeching a lot all the way and I asked H why. He said it was because they brand new Michelin tyres. It was like my native country and town. Eventually we arrived at a place, ground floor of a building, in front of it was like a petrol station. The place we walked into was like a school, for kids between the ages of eight and ten. H and I had been here earlier in the dream to drop off a keyboard temporarily. Now, we were here to pick it up again. I think the kids were actually teens in the earlier part of the dream. One of the kids now, was asking why we had to take the keyboard away again and H explained it had only been meant as a temporary thing anyway. H asked if anyone had played the keyboard. Some kids said they hadn't, somehow clearly afraid of being reprimanded, even though it was unlikely, but they also said they had practised at home like H had taught and demonstrated. I didn't speak much at all, H talked to the kids a lot. Somehow reminded me of my geometry teacher, trying to actively get the kids to think and take interest in things. Eventually, a lady walked in, the teacher who runs the place. She was happy to see the kids entertained and it was as if we'd known her and vice versa for years. I remember noticing I had my black leather jacket and my regular boots on. I think in the dream we both became distracted from our objective of getting the keyboard. There was also a set of keys we'd left in the earlier visit, but we weren't being able to find them. The layout was different from the earlier visit. Scraps: Grandma from mom's side, dad and I, talking. I remember she was holding a golden cross that she wore around her neck. I made mental note of the size of the cross, almost too big to be held by one hand alone. Notes: - I don't believe H has actually ever bought Michelin-branded tyres.
Saturday Night, 7/18/20 I had an FA. I noticed that the perspective was wrong for waking up; I was looking down on my bed. I floated around the room a bit, confirming I was dreaming. I noticed the room was vague and the dream did not feel very stable. I aimed for the floor of my room and landed, bounced up and down a little trying to feel the carpet on the soles of my feet. I could hear a soft crunching sound, like the sound of velvet being gently crushed. The dream faded anyway, my vision going black. However, I still felt more connected to the dream than to my waking life body so I tried to imagine "throwing" myself back into the dream. I opened my eyes, a bit uncertain whether it would work, but it did. I was back in my room standing on the ground. I floated again to confirm. Up near the ceiling I grabbed onto the top of the cube structure where there was a wooden platform (it's sort of like the top of a bookcase). I alternated between staring at the wood grain and rubbing my hand across the wood. Sure enough the grains of the wood became incredibly detailed and lifelike. Looking around I could now see the lines on the palms of my hands, the bumps on the blue walls, the sharp outlines of various pieces of furniture. Satisfied that the dream was fully stabilized, I phased through the window of my room and glided over the land below. It was quite beautiful out, sunrise coloring the clouds. Although my backyard was much bigger than in waking life it was otherwise consistent with its current configuration. At least up until the stand of bamboo at the far end. Behind there and off to the right, instead of a fence, I found an open plot of dirt with a partially built lighthouse. At last! I thought, Although, I was kind of hoping to have it by an ocean... I considered that on the one hand it was convenient to have it close to my house but on the other hand I would have to use some trick of the mind in order to make use of it as I'd originally planned, as a lighthouse by the sea. Off to my left a woman and two young children were wandering from the bamboo forest into my backyard. I waved at the family. The youngest child, the boy, seemed to be the only one who saw me. He tried to get his mother and sister to look over. The mother squinted in my general direction and shrugged before continuing on her way. The little boy looked confused. I told him not to worry about it. It wasn't clear if he could hear me. I returned my attention to the lighthouse and saw that the first floor was thoroughly encased in rock and therefore inaccessible. I had planned to have steps carved into rock leading up to the base of the building and I mused that the dream must have constructed it this way like a bug in a video game when it was placed somewhere different from the intended landscape. The next two floors were far smaller than I'd planned. Beyond that it was completely unfinished. I began planning how I would fix it and build it out as if I were using Minecraft blocks. I wondered if I should leave it with its current black and white colors or change them to match the colors I'd planned for it when I designed it in waking life. I had only just begun modifying the structure when I heard a loud sound. Annoyed, I looked up to see that some random guy on a motorcycle had ridden up and parked behind the lighthouse, apparently oblivious to my presence. When I saw that he wasn't going to interfere further I tried to return my concentration to the task at hand but the dream faded into a different scene and I lapsed into non-lucidity. Spoiler for Additional Notes: Made progress on two of my LD goals: creating a lighthouse and experimenting with dream cartography. The lighthouse is a place I designed in waking life that I had never encountered in a dream before. Basically I was trying to incubate it by creating drawings, written pieces, and even a design in Minecraft creative mode (which is no doubt why I ended up modifying it with Minecraft blocks in this dream). This was my first success in finding/creating the lighthouse in an LD, although I'd come across a version of it briefly in a non lucid once. I'd originally planned to build it from scratch near a particular recurring beach location. Instead I found it partially constructed... in my backyard. I didn't actively work to recall my waking life goal during the LD as I usually would, instead I just explored and found what I needed quickly. That makes this my first successful LD incubation attempt, as well. Additionally, I've been wanting to not only map out my recurring dream locations but to experiment with creating new ones and testing their level of permanence and the permanence of the connections between dream locations. Behind the bamboo in my backyard happens to be one spot I'd considered using for experimentation as I'd rarely gone into the bamboo area in dreams and never off to the right. Apparently my subconscious decided to combine two ideas and gave me a partial lighthouse in that spot. I think I'll just find some way to work with this development. Maybe I'll use the lighthouse like a TARDIS lol. Another side note: When I was very young my dad started building a wooden playhouse in the backyard and never finished it (eventually we took it down). This seems to be a symbolic reference to that, although I'm not sure why.

When I came back from the restroom I was arguing with Myrna about the nature of destiny and if life was predestined from the beginning. None of us were backing down from the argument, and I was getting frustrated. At last I reached my tipping point and sat down outside the bathroom doors. Myrna continued along the hallway with Cesar until they reached the end. It was a hall with beige marble walls facing a long mirror. While I had dinner a waiter stood nearby. Myrna waits enough to get desperate and walks back to me. I realize it's time to leave, so I get up to put an end to this childish tantrum. "It's getting late! Look, you forgot the papers!" she says, while opening the door to the restrooms. I follow her to a most elegant and sparkling facility of crystal black marble walls. She brakes step by the door to one of the bathroom stalls and opens it. What I saw when I turned to look was a toilet with the lid down, and on top of it, a small piece of parchment, nicely folded (my reality check). I worriedly grab it and we leave to meet up with Cesar. We turned the corner and reached a foyer. People are lined on either side facing an entrance. Cesar sits on a bench in the center, waiting for us. The next thing I know is that we're sitting in a small theater. A movie is projected on a widescreen; it is a horror film. I can hear Ara's screams echoing around the theater; she's always like this when watching anything scary. "Ara where are you!" I shout. A voice booms overhead, without a specific source, "Well, find out where I'm sitting!" I scan the area but it is very dark to see. It takes me a little while but I spot her silhouette by the front seats to my left. A skeleton appears on the screen. Everyone screams. Ara laughs hysterically. I'll skip now to the moment I got lucid as the next sections of the dream are not relevant to tell. Moments prior to this stage in the dream, I heard a voice convey to me that demons could be seen if we directed our gaze to the upper left corner of our vision. I see a play or theater room. The space opened to a large rectangular area below a step. There were sliding doors to the front and right sides of the room. A couple of windows to the back allowed for some light to shine through. Some cushions and a white sofa were neatly organized around. Not much is happening here except I'm growing scared but I don't know why. I remember then what the voice had said. I play out the words in my head again and again, There is a demon on the upper left corner of my vision. I do not want to look but curiosity slowly pulls my head against resistance. In that remembrance, of the voice, of the dreaded words, I recall a similar event from another dream, a lucid dream. In it I had feared a monster at the other side of a door. It is through this memory that I finally find out I'm dreaming. I hear the words, this is a dream, loud and clear in my head. I see nothing in the upper left corner of my vision. With that I immediately feel different; it is a familiar sensation, a lucid sensation. Lucid, I'm uncertain on what it is I want to do. I change places. A corridor (there's always a corridor) appears before me. I believe I haven't left this residence. I'm fearful once more. Then, I remember MoonageDaydream's advice, about facing what scares you. Doing this is intimidating to me, but I reason there is nothing to lose by trying. I stand resolute and hope whatever it is I see isn't traumatizing. Nothing ever comes out from anywhere, to my fortune. My vision now spins without me intending it. I can only make out a set of windows, one after the other. While I keep spinning I know I'm losing grip of the dream. I remember Sageous' advice here; he commented we should use this moment of lucidity to recover the memory of our sleeping body. Where is my body? Where is my real body? I ask numerous times. I can't seem to remember where it is my body lies! I concentrate, though I am so drowsy! I can't for the life of me access this thought, yet I can feel my real body lying in bed. It doesn't take me long to finally wake up to reality.

…Doing archaeology somewhere. I dig up some artifacts, which include some strange round things. I don’t think people are impressed by that. There is some other stuff too though. Also, there are holes that have been dug and filled in again, and I am looking through some of the filled holes. I find some metal artifacts associated with one of them…
…In a large building. I go up some stairs to the second floor, which has a kind of mezzanine surrounding the first floor on one side and another section off to my right. There is a picture of C-- here, a girl I recently met… …In a large building, going up and down stairs. The building reminds me of one of the administrative buildings on the campus of IUP. There is a girl going down one set of stairs, and I am going down another. I want to be the first to reach the bottom floor… …Watching the new Dr. Who. I had speculated in waking life that I dream more about the classic Dr. Who than the new version, and in my dream I wonder if that is true. I don’t become lucid though…
