Abandoned house I was with my brother in a familiar town during the day, It was summer like. My brother wanted to show me an abandoned house that he claimed was once owned by a Voodoo practitioner. We went inside the house. The entire house was small and skinny. One room had a table with bowls of ash on it and feathers, and other things that look like they were used to put curses on people. The room felt super heavy. If you've ever been in a real "haunted place." You'll know what I mean. Only in this dream the feeling became 100 fold. I felt like I was going to be cursed if I stayed there any longer. I grabbed my brother and told him we had to leave right away. I ran outside and my brother had followed behind. I don't remember much after that. Dad I had a dream about being in some house with my dad. He was telling me to learn certain things or I would be a failure in life. I don't remember much but we got arguing. He eventually said should I fail in His studies that he would use a knife on me. He produce a big knife with rust on it. I told him I won't be learning anything here especially if he is going to resort to that. He somehow couldn't argue and I left...
The Fruit tiles 25/07/20 Lucid #13 - DILD I’m sitting on the sofa in my parents living room watching TV with them. I notice some familiar tiles on the programme I’m watching, they’re white kitchen tiles and have images of different fruit on them. “I recognise those tiles?” I say unsure where from. I then notice something to my right and see the wall next to me is also layered in the exact same tiles? I’m confused by this odd coincidence and it triggers me to RC. I see random scribbles of text on each tile and do a text change check. I look away, not believing it will change as I’m sure I’m awake right now but as I look back the text has indeed changed! I’m in disbelief! So much so that I don’t believe it and do the check again. It changes again and again a third time. I can’t believe it’s a dream and I was so sure I was awake! I think I must have fallen asleep just now whilst watching TV and this was some kind of false awakening (In reality I was simply asleep in my own bed). I get up and walk across the room and through the door which randomly leads straight into my brothers old bedroom. I believe that’s where I’m currently sleeping and think it would be cool if I went in there and somehow found my body asleep in bed! I open the door, it’s dark but sure enough under the covers is the outline of my body. I dash in and start shaking my body. “Rise and shine!” I yell with glee. My body isn’t waking up though and I start to realise it’s just an inanimate dream character instead. The dream then fades away and I enter the void. I remember to try spin to see if that can re-stabilise the dream but without a body I just feel a dizzy, spinning sensation in my head, as If my consciousness is spinning in circles. It doesn’t lead to anything and I wake up. Lucidity: Low Trigger: Oddity Reality check: Text change Length: 1 minute (approx.) Goals: None Lucid count: 13 Analysis: Very low level lucid. Clearly wasn’t thinking straight as I was half believing I could interact with my sleeping body in bed. A successful RC though and it was good to see that I remembered to try spinning even though it didn’t work. The fruit tiles were actually from an old flat I used to live in for a short time.

I had a decent night's sleep last night. I hadn't been sleeping well for a while, which might have been contributing to my boring dreams. Last night's dreams were a little more engaging. At least, I felt more engaged. Bedtime around midnight or so, 1.5mg of melatonin. It may have been a mistake to look at my phone before journalling. I seem to have forgotten some details. Maybe they will occur to me throughout the day. __________________________________________________ ________________________ Spices There is some kind of rack - rows of spices are hanging on it. The spices are also people. When one pulls a lever at the side, the spices lower a notch. The lever is pulled as a repercussion for something - it's a prison of some sort. Some of the spices are nearing the bottom. What happens then? That doesn't seem to have been figured out yet. Do they let people go? Or are they executed? Spider fragment There is a spider... Was this also the dream with vampires? Vampires A vampire woman. Maybe two of them. A guy also. I walk down a hall, there is a door on the left. I enter the room. I think there is a picture on the wall of some interest. Interesting fragments There is a group of us. Some kind of an adventure. Going upstairs. We need to sneak past some people. I think that works. Something about blood samples?... Something else about a girl. They put some balloon like things on her head... Archaeology and seminar Doing archaeology amidst a wooden platform, like a porch. I dig down, gathering dirt. There is brown broken glass, and some metal pieces related to a fireplace. Further down, I end up in a room with fireplace tools. There is also a seminar going on. It is packed, and it's hard to find a seat. I sit down at the right side of the room. I notice at least one girl is still wandering around, but she eventually sits down. There is a board, with a bunch of notecard-like things on it. Part of the board is covered by a dark, semitransparent cover. This is to be removed as the talk progresses. The guy is talking about somebody named "Ron Trzcinski". To me, the person talking sounds like Ron Trzcinski from The Original Mattress Factory. At some point I realize that I left the hole I was working in uncovered. That doesn't seem safe. I go out to try and find something to mark it with so nobody steps/falls into it and gets hurt. I go into a trailer, or shed, or something, and find some "Wet Floor" signs. I go back out to the archaeological site/deck. There are some people doing construction there. I set up one of the signs over top of a hole. The other sign seems to have turned into a table or something. That still works, so I put it over top of another partially-filled hole. Someone mentions that they are giving gifts to people associated with my friend A--. I have been in a small group with him, so I go back up to the seminar room to try and get a prize. I vaguely remember something about balloons. There is also a table with some books on it, one of which is labelled "semi-nudes". Cleaning up We are moving a bunch of things. This might have been part of the seminar dream, I'm not sure. We are, at one point, in a large barn-like structure. Some women are pushing posts suspended from the ceiling down a track, trying to remove them I think. I feel a little annoyed, because it seems like they are trying to show off how strong they are. I look for something heavy to do myself. One of the heavy things involves loading a riding mower in the back of a truck (I think). There are a couple of piles of junk like this... ...There is also a collection of wooden slats. These go with other wooden objects that they fit into... I think my friend A.V. from my old Church is there. Or maybe she was at the seminar. Riding in a car I'm in a car. I think my Mom is driving. Although it seems to me that she is on the right side of the car (which is unusual because this is the USA). Anyway, we are driving south toward my old workplace (a common motif). We are going to St. Clairsville, and I think to myself (or say out loud) that I like that town. I seem to enjoy being there, and I feel as though there is some cognizance of the fact that I was complaining yesterday evening about having the same dreams over and over - this being one of them. Not being lucid, it was as though I was thinking to myself "this isn't so bad". We get off at an exit, and turn right around to get back on the road north. There is a lot of construction going on around us.
