Fragment I'm walking through the second floor of production at work with MM. There is a stressful situation and they need my help to solve. Fragment There is a marching band show happening in a stadium. My view is from above. The formation is a large spiral shape and it takes up most of the football field.

Fragment I'm in a race in a sunny grassy place. Dream feels light-hearted and happy. Really hoping for some better recall soon. Getting tired of these fragments! Been practicing awareness during the day, reading a ton about lucid dreaming, meditating 4 times a week, getting 7+ hours of sleep, plus I woke up without the snooze today. Still crap recall...

3/21/23 At highschool walking around I see a math teacher I had in middle school We talk while walking down the rotunda He's talking about one of his classes I ask him specifically how he is doing He is surprised and I can tell pleased by my interest in his well-being I notice my reflection in the windows and see my hair is styled like it was when I was a freshman It is the last day of school so everyone is very informal as the day ends There are large groups of my peers gathered by the exit taking pictures of each other We all burst out the doors at once into the parking lot I notice my current car parked on the street right by the entrance As I approach I notice my car has been broken into, one of the windows is forced down and one of the side doors is slightly ajar I'm put off but not too worried because I keep no valuables in my car I shout, Ah man! Wtf! Someone broke into my car!? People notice and a small group go into a frenzy of "oh wow, nice! This is YOUR car???" A few of them circle the car with me assessing the situation A mutual friend climbs into the driver seat before me and pretends to start it up I jokingly ask him "lol dusty you gonna drive my car huh?" He exits the vehicle When I sit down I notice everything is torn up like the thieves we're looking for something My passenger seat had been ripped up, glove box broken, center console opened and papers everywhere I sigh at the violation and start the car to leave I am with Sunny in a major south east Asian country It feels like a metropolitan south Korean with tall city buildings and ancient temples/sites peppered between them I am in complete awe with the amount of details around me The traffic feels alive, we are walking with a group it seems but I can't stop looking around at the odd angles the highrises have balconies and extravagant walkways between them I gather we are going to some special ritual put on by the people here We have to travel to the place together and it seems like the crowd is growing the closer we get We have to make our way up a very tight very old tower with rustic stairs and a somewhat medieval aesthetic I notice how packed the stairs are as we get higher and high It occurs to me I'm in a country with fewer building codes and collapses are somewhat frequent The whole structure is swaying with the movement of the procession up the never ending staircase I get worried about being caught inside this thing if it tumbles so I tell sonny I can't go this way and need to leave while running back down the stairway opposite the torrent of people coming up We get back to the street level with no issue and continue the general direction towards the ritual but along the street this time I am still amazed at the detail and just how foreign everything feels There are planters with unique plants all along the buildings storefronts we pass Everything is very well lit and feels fancy in this part of town We pass an attraction which is kind is ride I gather There is a little car shaped like a streamlined spaceship on the sidewalk, it is a very shiny bluish gray colour with a single point in the front, and two points at the back I reach for my phone to take a picture and feel 3 different phones stacked in my pocket I keep telling sonny how amazing this all is because I've never been to Asia before We arrive at our destination which feels like a large hotel lobby with a massive bar/atrium area inside hundreds of people are elbows to elbows standing around Everyone is wearing orange and white We are in a line and a they are handing out what appear to be white kitchen towels with an orange corner folded into an armband, one for each person We are told to put the band on our selection and that would signify which one was special There are thousands of bottles of alcohol and deserts of all shapes and colours on every surface of the main gathering area They are already going through other people's selection's, making an announcement everytime they pick one up declaring this is the item they will provide this year It feels important as there are chimes and incense and chanting, the ambiance feels spiritual I put the armband on and begin to survey the selections, there are too many options to consider I stand to the side taking it all in as the dream fades
Fragment I'm washing dirt from under my nails. I'm wondering where the dirt came from since I haven't been outside recently. Fragment I'm thinking about a habit that has been stressing me lately. I'm feeling guilty about it.
I've been feeling s little sickish and could feel that in my dream as well, I had a dream about work, and although I cannot legally disclose what I do at my job (9 to 5 office job), this dream felt like an official "first day" where I'll br doing yhe first thing by myself, but in the canteen. While talking to all other worker who exactly found myself at the same place I was standing at. I also moved to Austria and I met my only friend from Austria, or at least a version of him generated by my subconscious. I had this moment where I thought "I'm going to work and I'll be the greatest I've ever been at it" and that's when my alarm went off. It's almost as if they felt my brain waves lol
I don't recall where it started, but I took off from somewhere. I flew over what could have been dunes, or desert shrubland. I noticed a bunch of beheaded kamikazes from Serious Sam down below, so I wanted to kill them. Once again I struggled with mid-air controls a bit, things like changing direction and stopping inertia. Anyway, I landed and attacked the kamikazes. I wanted to use a power on them but I think it didn't work, so I had to kick down a dried-up (dead) tree and use its trunk as a spear. I impaled a kamikaze on the tree trunk, which was satisfying. In a later scene, I was in a MASSIVE underground cave, still flying, fighting Voldemort and his massive army of giant eagles (from Lord of the Rings). I attacked them by ripping the feathers from their wings, and causing them to crash to the ground. I had acquired a letter of sorts. This letter had to be destroyed to "complete the plot" and vanquish evil (consider it a stand-in for the One Ring). I knew it was someone's mission to destroy it, but now that it was in my possession, I figured: "why can't I do it, and do it much faster?" So I got the letter, and dove down some kind of empty elevator shaft (still flying). I smashed the letter into the bottom of the shaft, and this supposedly "destroyed" it. However, I had a part of it still in my hand, and the text on it had changed into a message aimed it me: the letter could only be destroyed at the right time and in the right place, and presumably, by the right person. No shortcuts. I couldn't just skip three 3-hour movies and finish the whole plot in 10 minutes. Someone else had to actually complete the entire journey. One last scene involved having to make out with a girl who had questionable mouth hygiene, and a few other details I don't care to write down here.
Tonight I remembered 3 dreams, but I’m a lazy bastard so I will write down the most interesting one. Anyway, it passed a lot of hours so I have holes in my memory. I don’t remember the beginning of this dream. I was with pretty woman (she was my friend but I don’t know her from real life) on unspecific place, probably in some kind of city in middle of night. She ran forward maybe 20-30m from me. -Hey, wait for me! – I said She looked at me and gaily smiled. I approached to her. -You know… I very like you. Very – she said. -I feel same way to you. You are very special for me. -Really? -Yea! I looked at her smiling face and grabbing her shoulders. She had long light-brown hairs and thick eyebrows. I saw streetlight reflecting in her blue eyes. -What do you think about date tomorrow? – I asked -It looks great! I started to feel weird, very strong and nice feeling and my rushing heart. “Wow that must be a feeling of love. I never felt that before” I thought. My girlfriend grab my hand and we climbed on nearby hill. To the end of dream I was observing this new feeling. The most interesting thing in that dream is that I was very aware of my feelings. It wasn’t a lucid dream nor even half lucid. But I was aware of that strong feeling. I almost started to meditate.
Fragment I'm getting married. Scene is similar to SP and GP's wedding from last October. Grass is vivid green. I see who is meant to be the father in law up ahead, but I don't recognize him.

Captured at Not-Nazarick I'm my best friend D's den at his parent's house. My uncle K has been shot multiple times in the head with a pistol but he isn't going down. I can see fleshy material where the bullet went in. They keep shooting him. They test talking to him and he isn't coherent anymore, but doesn't go down. Some time later I'm hiding in a side bathroom that isn't normally there (it's normally in a different off-shoot of the room). I try to call 911 but get interrupted. The captors take me upstairs where D's room normally is, and it is outfitted as a 'hacker's room'. There are two hackers there and they have multiple monitor setups. They also have keyboards that virtually scroll vertical, and they explain that this makes them type faster. They tell me my 911 call is pointless because they blocked it. For some reason, the team of captors remind me of the staff of Nazarick from the anime Overlord (they aren't the characters though). We go to the foyer downstairs and they all crowd there. Apparently they have decided to let me go. There is an emotional goodbye (the leader reminds me of my friend JV) and then I leave through the front door. I'm running through a gloomy version of my neighborhood with overgrown grass and deep dark green colors. I end up running through a random house through an open window, observe the living room while running, and leave through another open area without stopping. It is similar to how I was doing it in the Woods Nightmare dream. I was worried about waking the owners of the home as I ran through. I end up on a high patio, and I have the feeling that I am being tracked. The dream overall is scary, but doesn't have the same sense of dread as a nightmare. The neighborhood.

No recall. I usually wake with something but I've been bad about writing things down. Sharing a bed with a light sleeper makes recording a challenge. Haven't found a great solution yet.
I'm climbing a spiral medieval tower. JC from work is there. There is a conversation about legacy somewhere in there.

19.03.23 Before I fell asleep… I woke up at 0930am LT. I began to wonder that it will be good time for WBTB bc I woke up by myself directly after dream so in theory I’am in REM phase. So I started WILD. During this I recognised that I’m too rested and propably WILD isn’t a good tech for this moment so I resigned. „I will stay i my bed one minute more and I will stand up. I don’t want mess with my bio clock one day before monday” – I thought. Aaaandd…. After this one minute I just fell asleep… Non-lucid section I was passing near some kind of restaurant. I stopped to look what is inside and the old woman accosted me. She had white board on her chest with written sign „Good beef – 1pln per 100g” (pln is my country currency and it is circa 0.23 usd). She recommended me her beef but I said - Sorry ma’am I’m looking inside that restaurant, not on you - Just try it. It’s super cheap! I checked my pocket but I left my wallet in my home - Wait, I’ll go for my wallet Dream scenerio has changed and now I had wallet. I paid that woman 3.50 pln (circa 0.80 usd) and I entered inside that restaurant. After ordering fries I sit down on chair. After moment somebody seat near to me. This guy was from my company from crew recruitment department. „Oh shit. I’m sure he will start inportune me”. But no – he wasn’t inportune me. He just took a seat near me and he was waiting for his food. I thought it’s great oportunity to make „job conections” so I started convartation with him -Do you have some news from sea world? - I asked -Excuse me? -Do you have some rumors or news about our job. Especially from shore department. You know – we seafarers like such topics… it’s good to keep conversations onboard. -Ah.. not really -Okay I was looking on city view by window. It’s was a little bit strange because I wasn’t in my home city but I can see characteristic skyscraper. -That is weird… I didn’t knew we have office in this city – I said -What do you mean? -Look – I point on the skyscraper – It’s our office. Literally, I can see name of our company on top of this building. He didn’t even looks in this direction. Lucid section I made RC using nose plug technique. Person ahead of me saw that. -What are you doing with you nose? -Nothing important. I have runny nose, don’t mind that. Anyway, I’m going to toilet wash my hands. Wait for me. I left that place and my „friend”. When I passed the door I was teleported into my home (not intentionally). I entered to second room, I was trying to remind my three-step goals from competition and my personal goals (ofc I know the competition is ended. I wanted to recive some of these goals just for fun). After that I summoned assault rifle. It looks like combinations of Scorpion Evo SMG and AR15 rifle. Next I checked magazine – it’s was full. I smilled. I come back and kicked closed door saying „I’M BACK!”. I just shot him. 3-5 shots in chest and 2-3 shots in head. After, I went to next room in my home and I shot my grandfather in the same way. I felt a little bit sorry bc I killed member of my family, but this was my personal goal – do something crazy so I can breake my in-dream fears If it was during the competition I should got: DILD = 10p WBTB = 2p RC = 1p Using object (I mean making sure my weapon is operational) = 5p three-step task: Basic summoning = 5p Personal goals: Kill someone with a rifle = 15p Total: 38p That's much more than I got in entire competition (33p) XDD
So this morning my girlfriend called me around 5 am and woke me up. After talking for a few minutes she hung up and I went back to sleep. About 20 minutes later I had a natural awakening from a pretty vivid dream. I shifted in my bed some and began to fall back asleep. I could feel myself falling asleep very quickly so I decided to try to stay conscious while doing so. I could feel myself slowly losing touch with reality, I could no longer feel myself lying in my bed or hear my fan running. I repeated my mantra "this dream stabilizes" over and over and a dream scene began to form. I was in my bedroom lying in my bed. I looked over and for some reason there was a mirror on my door and when I looked in the mirror I could see myself and it looked like there was a TV on the wall behind me. I looked over to the wall but there was no TV there and when I looked back at the door the mirror was gone. I tried to push my finger through my palm but it didn't work so I then tried to pinch my nose and breathe which I could. I got out of bed and went to my bedroom door and opened it. I was hoping it would open into something cool but it was just my normal hallway. I then walked over to my garage door and could see the light was on out there so I knew someone was out there. I opened the door and my dad was in the garage. I went out and said good morning or something similar to him and went up behind him. He began to turn around and I thought that he would probably look weird when he did since this was a dream and I was right. When he turned around he had a really thin long neck that hooked into a very tiny head. It was a little freaky but I knew I was dreaming so I wasn't really scared; in fact I found it kind of funny. Then I decided to go outside. It was morning and the sun was just beginning to rise so there were still stars in the sky. I tried to fly but couldn't get too far off the ground (just like the last time I tried), so I tried the superman method and was able to fly high into the sky. I flew for a few seconds before I woke up. I'm not really sure if this technically counts as a WILD or not but this was the first time I've ever entered a dream directly. I have had to stabilize dreams before which brought on a new dream scene, but this was a little different. Also it was pretty weird feeling myself lose touch with reality as I fell asleep, but I'm glad I had this experience so I know (partially at least) what a WILD feels like.
Original post taken from Howie in the Articles Section (https://www.dreamviews.com/wiki/The-...tion-Technique). Copying it here for my reference to improve meditation and WILD capabilities. 1. 61 point relaxation technique This figure illustrates 61 points on the body. To do this exercise, you need to memorize the sequence of points. (This is not difficult, because the points are arranged in a simple pattern) They begin at the forehead, travel down and up your right arm, then across to your left arm, down to your torso, down and up your right legs, then back up your torso to the forehead. 2. Focus your attention on one point at a time Begin at your forehead, focus your attention between your eyebrows and think of the number one. Keep your attention fixed at point one for several seconds until you feel that your awareness of the location is clear and distinct. Think of yourself being located at this point. Before moving on to the next point, you should feel a sense of warmth and heaviness at this spot. 3. Move through each point in sequence In the same manner, successively focus your attention on each of the first thirty-one points. Proceed slowly, and imagine you self being located at each point as you reach it. Feel the sense of warmth and heaviness before moving on. Do not allow your mind to wander. At first you may find this difficult to do: you will find that at times you suddenly will forget that you are doing the exercise and start daydreaming or thinking about something else. IF you lose your place, return to the beginning or the last numbered point you attended to, and continue. Practice with thirty-one points until you can attend to them all in sequence without daydreaming or losing track. 4.Extend your practice to include all sixty-one points When you can attend to thirty -one points in sequence, repeat steps 1 and 2 with all sixty-one points. Practice this until you can do all points without losing your focus. Now you are ready to use this exercise with lucid dreaming induction techniques. This technique was acquired from Exploring The World Of Lucid Dreaming, by Stephen Laberge and Howard Rheingold. ( Figure was adopted by Exercise without movement by Swami Rama [Himalyan Institute, Honesdale, PA.])
