Pre Bed: 5htp

Did not really do a WBTB, I woke up and laid in bed thinking about dreaming for awhile to try to put myself in the state. I am not sure if this happened right after I woke or as I was falling back to sleep but I kept my awareness as the dream started so I guess this was a wile and I would have to say that this was my first WILD that I know for sure it was actually a WILD.

My thoughts basically got a little strange and then turned into moving pictures, I just had a seedling of awareness I kept. I felt a very short stint of vibrations as I transitioned as well. I think I actually kind of willed a dream to start in a way. I kind of flowed with the dream for a minute or two before I tried to control anything.

I was in a building, maybe an apartment building with a few doors on the inside. It was brown and pretty dim inside, maybe wood flooring. On the doors I noticed pictures of girls, I had a feeling they were ex-girl friends but no one discernible. One door I noticed was open and a brunette girl was half way out the door, she just looked at me. I was headed to the front of the building where the exit was and saw a brick wall in front of me. I decided I would try to jump through it (for some reason I like to try to go through stuff in my lucids, usually not successful though), I went full force into the brick wall and it stopped me like a brick wall, I slid down and was in front of the doors leading out. I was on some city streets, no one around that I noticed. It was dark outside and the streets were kind of dirty like it was not a great part of town. I did an RC to just make sure and it was of course successful. I took to the sky and went up pretty fast pretty quick. I even thought as I went up that I wanted to explore the dream world a little more and not just go go go, but didn't listen to myself. As I was flying up I wanted to stop in the air to see where I was and find somewhere to go to but it seemed I could not slow down, I looked up and decided to just fly as fast as I could straight up. So I sped up even more and saw the moon, I tried to slow down and change direction to go to the moon but couldn't. I decided oh well I guess Ill try for the alien planet TOTM since I am up here. I then flew faster than I had before straight into the starts. I looked up and imagined a red planet and saw a speck of one, I looked ahead again and imagined the red speck much closer and I looked up, I came up on about 5 or 6 planets very fast and again I could not slow down. As I wizzed passed them I realized they were our solar system planets, at least Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, not sure if there were any others. I decided to give up on local planets and continued flying into space to find a different set of planets. I was thinking that it was quite a ways away and even partially tried the same thing I did with imagining a planet coming up but nothing came. I flew for a bit longer but lost the dream.

So normally I wouldn't post such a short lucid but this one is mentionable.

I was in the kitchen in the morning, nothing like my own really and I was making breakfast. I was going to make muffins but was putting them in individual muffin tin things and placing each one on a burner, I want to say the burner was coming from the top but I cant be sure. I was concerned in the dream that the muffins would burn or catch fire. I kept adjusting the flames to make sure this didn't happen. I looked at them all when I finally got them all on and some were really disfigured and flat while others looked decent. After they were done (I assume) I was scraping stuff off a tray and was amazed that there was nothing left. It all just disappeared and there was only a few burnt pieces of stuff left, looked like small burnt onions. I showed my mother in law who was in the kitchen with me and said how weird it was nothing was left. I then started to peel a banana to eat and then went to an area in the kitchen where my grandmother in law was working at making something else. I picked up something she was using like a bag of sugar and it dumped everywhere, all over the floor and counter. I was told I didn't need to help pick it up but helped anyways. Someone said something about me being late to work and I needed to eat and then my mother in law said I needed to make sure I was awake or wake up better. This prompted me to do a RC and I did the finger check, as always I was amazed this was a dream and did it several times, I had some wobbly fingers and more than 5. Lucid: I went to a door and imagined a city street like the one I had been on in my previous dream, as i opened the door the dream was beginning to fade and as I began to wake a saw some sort of field.

This afternoon I took a nap with my daughter and actually had a dream I remembered, this doesn't usually happen when I have a nap so it was really different. I was with a couple others in a room and we were going to fight some others. I was telling a guy next to me, who was a kid, maybe my son that he had to protect others from someone who couldn't control their powers. It seemed like last airbenderish if you will. I was going to show him that I could throw fire balls and I wound up but nothing came out. I woke up shortly after.

Pre-Bed
3mg Mel, 5 Htp
Bed at 1215 and sleep by 1245
WBTB at 430 for about 20 minutes
Activities: Read previous dream journals, do multiple RCs

I tossed and turned for a little bit when I went back to bed, I tried to WILD but was not successful. I had a couple other dreams on top of the lucids but wont log them here.

1. I just slightly remember this one which wasn't lucid but was noteworthy. I was talking to a couple other people who were sitting and we were discussing lucid dreaming. The idea of sexual relations in dreams came up and I said that is always too hard for me to do, I always wake up right away. Just thought it was pretty funny.

2. This dream is the blurriest of them all. I don't think I was with my daughter but I was at like a kids science center or kids museum or something for kids that was indoors. I ended up doing an RC and had multiple fingers. Lucid: I didn't feel stable at all and kept thinking about waking life. I did another RC and felt the floor and felt how the carpet felt then I felt the wall and it was rather rough. I never got incredibly stable. I decided to do the naked task but all of the DCs disappeared, I ended up getting my pants off I think and as I was doing this I was thinking of DCs being there and I was spinning in circles. Finally I saw an older guy and then a younger girl, before I could get to my shirt the dream faded and I woke.

3. I was at my house and I believe my wife was home. It began to rain outside and I remembered I had left some of my tools outside. I went outside where it was dark and then I slid my table saw under the overhangs of my house. I got a couple things picked up and then had to go to another area on the other side of the house to pick tools up. The water was starting to gather and I saw a bunch more tools on the ground. I want to saw a lawn mower, another saw and something else. I wanted to put these inside and at this point I think I had a moment of clarity and I did a RC, hands. Lucid: The rain had stopped and it was dark still. I wanted to look for a building for an elevator, i tried to imagine a city or building close to my house and tried to fly up. My first attempt was successful. I concentrated a little more on the flying and was able to take to the sky. As I elevated I started to think of my waking body and began to wake just as soon as I started seeing city lights behind my house.

4. This was my last, longest and most vivid. I was walking through a building, as I was passing I saw people looking inside and there was some smoke coming out from some of the rooms. This was an indoor area, maybe some small apartment type places but it was a narrow mall inside. Multiple people were standing out in the aisle, I could see wisps of smoke coming out. I had a feeling/knew that a fire had just been put out and they were trying to make sure nothing else was on fire. I got outside and I was on a city block, I did an RC for some reason (fingers). Lucid: I saw a tall building with blackened out windows across the street and knew there would be an elevator inside. As I headed across the street I decided to do the naked task at the same time since there was bound to be people in the building. I got my pants off as soon as I walked in the front door. I saw a bunch of DCs and they just looked at me. I really wante3d a reaction out of them but got nothing, just stared. There were several of them waiting in a central lobby and a receptionist when i went in. I really honed in on their faces but they just stared blankly. I was taking my shirt off at this point and also imagining an elevator as I turned the corner. I turned left a couple of times and there it was, a single elevator door which was silver and of course it was closed. The elevator was next to an area where they were cooking food, I had my shirt off but was still struggling to get it off my wrists, like there was some buttons that I needed to get off. But for all intensive purposes I was in the buff. I had managed to push the elevator button to call it down but it was on floor 27, so I thought I would be waiting for awhile. For some reason I woke as I was waiting for the elevator, I may have thought of waking life.

Next time I will be sure to picture an open elevator as I am rounding the corner.

Pre-5htp
Bed 930
Wbtb 315 for about 15 minutes Supps: G, C, L-Theanine
About 5.5 hours sleep
Tossed and turned about 1 hour
Had Lucid about 430 or 5.
Had many other vivids after WBTB but only 1 lucid which is very foggy since it was so long ago and I didn't take notes.

I believe I was in a house but I don't remember what I was doing, something triggered me to do a RC and I checked my fingers and had 7 or so. Lucid: I remember wondering through a house for a bit very excited. Then I remembered I wanted to find a mirror to climb through. I entered a room, I guess it was my daughters and found a mirror on the wall. I went up to it, I didn't even check my reflection which was something else I wanted to do. I then attempted to press my head through the mirror but it was just like pushing my head against a mirror in RL. I only attempted this once and I don't remember what I did from here or how the dream ended.

I really wanted to get this one done and it was actually easier than I thought it would be.

Pre bed supps: 5htp (I had stopped taking this for about a week prior to last night)
Bed at 945
Alarm set for 515 and had dream around 5.
No WBTB or WBTB supps

I had a good 3 or 4 vivid dreams with really good recall before this one too, but ill just log the Lucid.

I don't remember how exactly it started but I was in a row standing outside in some sort of class, we may have been sitting at first. There were several rows in front of me, I was probably the 6th row back on the far right side so no one standing next to me on the right. The teacher was asking questions, something about capital letters, I'm guessing it was an English class. A girl two rows in front of me was answering the question, she was saying some crazy stuff about science and/or math and how the programs wouldn't recognize the different characters. Oh the teacher actually asked about word processing programs and when the capital letters wouldn't work or when. Anyways, the teacher wasn't really happy with the answer and just shook her/his head. The teacher was first some larger black lady I think and then turned to a he and was standing by me. Some guy next to me was jumping up and down saying "Mr. President, Mr. President", he did this several times. After a bit for some reason the whole class kind of collapsed around us, they all ran in and formed some sort of a circle. I assumed everyone was trying to get out of class early. For some reason I did a quick RC (hands), I saw more than 5 fingers, maybe 8. I stepped back a couple of steps and looked again, yep about 8 fingers. Lucid: I was pretty happy with this but for a split second I had a million things I wanted to do fly through my head. I then thought of the meteor task which I had played through my head a bunch of times. I flew up into the sky a little ways and looked up and imagined a meteor with a tail coming in. There it was very easily, I pulled it in and apparently I didn't will it bigger and bigger since it never got much bigger as it got closer. I guided it in and it impacted almost directly below my feet. I flew down to check it out and was not impressed with the impact. There was like a foot section of rubble and a hole in the middle. I looked in the hole and could see lava, which I thought was pretty funny. The next part is kind of a blur but I flew to the sky and it was dark all of a sudden. I brought down a couple more meteors around some people but didn't' notice the effect of them. Next thing I remember is laying down on my back on a bed in huge room like a gymnasium, with a large brick wall that I was facing. I wanted to bring some more meteors down so I summoned one. It was still small like ping pong ball size, I wanted them bigger. I concentrated and used my 'magic hands' to try to get them bigger. after a few attempts they were baseball sized and after a few more they got to be about basket ball sized. The issue at this point was they were no longer flying through the wall and the floor. The meteors were more like rolling through the already made hold and just pushing their way through, to make matters worse they turned into big basket balls, orange with black lines. I shouted 'fire' and they ignited again but didn't fly. I stood up from the bed and wanted to jump through the ceiling, I did some sort of jumping backflip round house maneuver and would up on the level above where I was. I remember there were a couple DCs there but not much about the scene, I thought of waking and I did.

Supps:
Pre-bed - 5htp
Wbtb - G, C, L-theanine
Time - 445am after sleeping for 6 hours, stayed up until 5am

I was really concerned I wouldn't get back to sleep since I felt pretty awake when I laid back down. I kept starting to fade off and catching myself. I think I had this dream around 6 or 630, was going to keep going but daughter was up at 7.

This one started as a battle. Was really similar to the Normandy invasion it seemed. There was not any blood and I don't remember seeing anyone getting hit just people launching rockets and shooting guns. At this point I was watching it as a movie, there was one guy who got behind the lines and started launching missiles at the bad guys. The good guys down the hill started to advance and by the time the bad guys realized it was too late. They turned around and started firing again but were too late and were taken over. I was then interacting in the dream and remember being at a bench/table with a bunch of gun magazines behind it. This is where some of the bad guys were at firing on the good guys and now it was abandoned. There was another guy about 20 yards from me who asked if we were supposed to expend the rockets that the bad guys didn't fire. He was given a yes and he fired it; the rocket flew right down and hit the SUV that I guess all the good guys drove up in. It exploded and all of the bad guys that were left laughed. So back to where I was, I found a magazine with bullets in it and tried to put it in a gun I had, it went in but a couple bullets fell out and it didn't lock in place. I then took it out looked at it and then put it back in again and it fit. There was a young boy I thought was a bad guy so I racked the gun and aimed it at him. I was told he was good to go and then held my fist out for a fist bump, and the kid gave me a fist bump. We all began walking along, all the soldiers I was with. I passed a girl I guess I knew and gave her a fist bump (not sure why I was fist bumping everyone). I was walking still and there were alot of people walking down a hill. The landscape was pretty green and there were trees, I saw in the distance where everyone was congregating. I had a moment of clarity at this point and became Lucid: I continued to walk with the scene for a bit and thought I would just keep flowing with the dream, then I thought I would fly straight up and lastly I remembered I wanted to do a TOTM. There was a soldier walking next to me wearing camo and a helmet, I turned him around and he was a younger guy with I assumed blonde hair but I couldn't be sure because of the helmet. I pulled him to me and planted one on him.... I smooched for a bit and it was really just like kissing a piece meat or a piece of bologna. After a few seconds I let him go and he just carried on as he was before with no comments or reactions. I said something to the effect of "That was good stuff wasn't it?". I then thought of trying the repeat task but woke up. It may have been from the excitement of completing the task.

Supps: G, C and 200mg L-theanine.

I think I had more lucids than this last night but I cant remember them. I only remember 2 of them and they are pretty cloudy right now. I looked at my clock after one of them and it said 7 then I woke up for the day at about 10, I usually don't get to sleep in this long.

So both of these revolved around work and I may have the dreams scrambled a bit but I think most of the information is there, a lot of detail is missing though.

Dream 1: I was part of an inspecting team and me and another were doing an inspection on a girl over some paperwork she had. As I was looking on I held my hand in the air and observed more fingers than I should have, I then brought it closer and saw yay 8. Lucid: I found my way outside and this might have been either dream so im not sure if this lucid went with this DILD or not. Before I opened the door to outside I cleared my mind and tried not to think of anything, since I was curious what it would look like outside. I opened it and I was right in the middle of a river, this river was really flowing and it was very rocky, pretty cool looking. I saw a boulder and levitated it, just for fun I guess. It seems like every dream I have had lately had some sort of telekinesis in it. So after I did that I flew upward. Again I may be mixing dreams but I flew straight up as fast as I could and got very high, the surrounding got very dark all of a sudden and now it was night. I stopped in the air and looked around. I saw a city with lights all around it and flew toward it as fast as I could. When I got to a tall building I flew straight down to see what was going on on ground level. As I touched down the dream started to fade. I saw the two buildings (or one building that had two separate bases), the street was lit by street street lights, but that is the last thing I remember.

Dream 2: I was at work once again and I was in an area I wasn't supposed to be in that was for the higher ups, I kind of cut through there. I was walking down a hall way and ran across a section that was flooded with red water and there was a rubber duckey floating on top of it. Did a RC Lucid: I got outside as quick as I could but was kind of lost in a maze of inside. As I headed up stairs I pictured a door to the outside and bam there it was. I got outside and I was in the wilderness I guess. There wasn't anyone around at all. I saw a hill and flew up it to the top, just gliding along the slope upward. I got to the top and I was kind of curious as to why there was no one around anywhere. This has been a theme in some of my most recent dreams, there have been no DCs really in them. At least my fully Lucid ones. I was kind of looking for some but could not see any, anywhere. So at the top of a hill I saw a lake, or maybe I thought of the lake and when I turned around there it was. This was one of my goals last night was to go in the water. I did some kind of weird dive into the water that was quite a ways below me and had my eyes closed when I hit. I felt the coolness of the water and it was very invigorating. It was almost as exciting as the first time I flew in a lucid dream. This excitement along with my eyes being closed woke me.

I did have another non-lucid vivid very memorable dream after these but wont type it on here. It had something to do with an underground bunker, mission impossible style I was invisible and trying to infiltrate. I remember thinking that it would be cool to set off an ICBM in a dream, so this one was semi-lucid.

I had a pretty vivid and long non-lucid before this but wont journal that one.

Note this lucid was not supp induced but I was able to sleep in like most of my lucids in the past.

I was in a house, I guess it was my house but looked nothing like it. Apparently there was someone inside and I was looking for them. I heard a voice, I don't know if it was in a headset or just a magical voice, but they were kind of doing a play by play of what I was doing I guess. I remember walking toward the bathroom and the voice saying "The alarm system says there is motion on the first floor"; which I thought was stupid cause I was walking on the first floor. I had my gun out and was walking around with it drawn ready to shoot at whatever had broken in. I looked at my gun and saw there was pink spray particles on it, I found this odd and did a RC. Lucid: As soon as I became lucid the whole area lightened up quite a bit. I almost felt drunk and non coordinated and felt like the dream was really going collapse. I grabbed a few things and then I did telekinesis on a blanket to further solidify that I was in fact in a dream. It lifted with ease. I was next to a patio door and decided to go out it, I was in the mood to fly. I kind of sloppily went out the door and stumbled into some stacked boxes on the back patio. The yard was huge and I could see a large field across a street and it was filled with RVs/motor homes. I then took to the air quite easily and flew a bit toward the RV field, then saw a street. The cars on the street were all dark color and their headlights were on. I began flying against the flow of traffic. I wanted to fly through one of the cars. For some reason I just got a little bit closer and closer but could not get down to the level of the cars. Oh also it seemed like all the cars had big sheets of paper on their windshields, like huge flyers I guess. So anyways every time I missed a car I gasped for air, after I flew over a couple more cars it seemed like the gasps got louder and louder. I am not sure if I was doing this in my waking body or not but I thought I was so I woke myself up.

Well again with the same supps as last time.

4mg G, 250 C and 200mg L-Theanine.

I had taken this combo other times but I guess I never really got to sleep in or never went lucid when I took them. The last two times I have taken them I have been lucid no less than three times in 3 separate dreams throughout the night.

Pre-WBTB: I was in some sort of competition and racing against others. It was a maze of sorts and some underwater events. There was school work or trivia questions involved. This was early in the night and I didn't take notes on this until late in the morning.

Post-WBTB: I think these are the order they happened, I had many through out the night so they kind of got jumbled and some of the details are fuzzy.

Dream 1: In an apartment and I think it was a female celebrity. I wound up with two women and carried one around. I started kissing both of them on the neck and mouth, woke shortly after.

Dream 2: On a ship working and there was a lot going on, cranes and forklifts moving stuff around. I looked up and the cranes were lifting big red bells and some were starting to fall down. I thought this was rather strange so I did an RC, 7 fingers... LUCID: I decided it had been awhile since I flew so I took to the sky. Its always tricky starting off for me but as soon as I started going up the speed increased and I was flying high. I don't have to flap or point my hands I just do head forward. I flew up pretty high and could see fields, I came upon some sort of ruins. I just remembered this part, I tried to yell focus and it didn't come out right and I thought I might have talked in waking life and it woke me up. Thinking about waking life seems to be a constant theme with me. I always think about my real body or what I am doing and wake up right away. I really need to focus on the dream itself and have a long goal or several goals planned out in the dream.

Dream 3: I was in some strange place and ended up with another guy and some I was with and some other guy who may have been a 'bad' guy. We were talking about lucid dreams and stuff we could do and I think I was Lucid or at least semi lucid. I was going to show the guy what I could do. I ended up summoning fire balls and throwing them at the wall around the guy, they kind of exploded and melted into the wall I guess, it effected the wall more than the surroundings. Anyways I did this a few times and then I left the room. Either this was the same dream or a different one but I was with two girls in the same area or type of place. I jumped off a roof and onto the ground, I know I was absolutely lucid at this point. I wound up at an outdoor café with people eating around tables with umbrellas around them. I decided to begin using telekinesis on them and throw them around. I threw a couple people with my mind and then also tried to just crush them in a ball with my mind. I know this is rather morbid but it was kind of fun to do, there was no blood at least . Anyways I did this for awhile and don't remember how the dream ended there.

Dream 4: This was my last and most remember able. I cant say if it was fully lucid or only semi lucid but it involved me having super human strength and flying. I think this was on the tail end of the supps so while it was a pretty awesome dream I don't think it was fully lucid. Anyways it may have been at the tail end of dream 3 so I may have just lost some of my lucidity. I had a feeling people were in trouble above me in the clouds. I flew up through clouds and fog and found people in a balloon above me. They were looking for something on the ground but couldn't see anything. I went and checked below us (at this point I was still lucid or at least partially, because I remember worrying about not being able to see and waking up). I grabbed the balloon and drug it down to the ground, they were looking for lemon and lime trees for some drinks they had. I got them to the ground and we then were in a store. I don't remember many details about the store but I do remember a snobby kid who wanted this and that. After the store we were headed back up in the air and there were people falling out of the sky. I was rescuing them but couldn't hold that many of them. I was hanging onto the balloon again and we decided that we needed to get rid of some of the soft drinks we had onboard so the people could be onboard the balloon. I began throwing them off the balloon. They were the size of AA batteries and I ripped a couple of the tops with my teeth and drinking them down quick then throwing the empty can.

There were a couple more insignificant or dreams I don't remember any details about but overall it was a really adventurous night.

Let me preface by saying I haven't written a dream journal entry on here for a bit but last night was pretty crazy, and I completed the TOTM. This is the first TOTM that I have completed within the month it was in since January.

Supplements at WBTB: 4mg G, 250C, 200mg L-Theanine

Now I had about 10 different dreams I remember for the most part, they start to run together a bit and the order is not exact but here is what I have. Also I did have some dreams before the WBTB but I cannot recall them right now.

Dream 1: I was driving home or going home by foot and went by a school or building that was getting worked on. When I got home there was a guy working on the siding on my house. He was replacing some that was messed up. I saw that he was using a certain kind of caulking and was curious about it. We talked a little bit and eventually he was gone but not sure where he went. I thought he might have disappeared in my house. I went looking for him and thought this was pretty weird so I did an RC by looking at my hand, 7 or so fingers. Lucid: I was blown away of course since it had been awhile since I became lucid, so I tried to stabilize the dream a bit by concentrating on my hand a little more but whirled out.

Dream 2: Now this one actually started Lucid but I just flowed with it for a bit so it would stabilize. I was in a corn type field and I could see my wife in the distance. I called her name and she looked at me, the dream cleared quite a bit. I interacted with the environment a bit by touching the corn and said "focus" again. I began walking a different way to do my own thing. For some reason I had a hard time walking in a straight line and seemed like I couldn't control myself. I woke myself up at this point by thinking about me in bed.

Dream 3: This one was my longest and most memorable. I rolled out of bed on the opposite side I sleep on, I knew I was lucid but still needed to check since I always have to really convince myself. I got up and turned on the light and looked at my hand, 7 fingers Lucid: I went through the door and around the house to the living room area. I still couldn't believe this was a dream so I wanted to check again. I tried to flip on the light and it didn't work, I knew this was another sign of dreaming. I then thought about the room I just came from and if I wasn't dreaming then I would have left on the light in my room and woken up my wife and daughter. I looked outside and I could see a glass door where my room was and the light on. My wife (didn't look like my wife) came out and looked mad, at this point I realized this was definitely a dream. I turned toward the front door and thought of the TOTM and planned to do telekinesis, I have done this before in other dreams so was comfortable with it. I saw a little wooden vase on the table by the door and concentrated on tossing it up in the air. It flew straight up to the ceiling and bounced off it. I wanted to experiment further with something bigger. I spotted the couch (which was a huge sectional) and with a little more will was able to lift it straight off the ground as well. It flew into the ceiling. As I am doing this I use my hands to guide what I am moving with my mind. Lastly behind me was a Christmas tree with a bunch of presents around it, I concentrated again and lifted all the presents and tree with my powers. Pretty sweet! I thought what do I want to do next. This is where it was one of three events, I am not sure of the order. First I went outside, it was bright out and I could see a lake from my front yard (I cant see a lake from my house). I wanted to fly, I leaned forward and kinda floated down and hit the ground. I then tried again and started going up but the dream ended. Next was I continued on to the back of my house to my laundry room, I thought of the other TOTM and tada a bar was in my house. I asked the bartender for a shot and he didn't' hear me, I gave up on that and ended back somewhere else, maybe with my wife in the bedroom. Either a different dream or the same one I was headed back from a different part of my house and ran across the bar again. I looked and there was a full shot on the counter. I picked it up and looked at it, there was salt around the rim and I assumed it was my tequila shot. I drank it and it tasted like sprite and lime I guess, kinda fresh. I then grabbed a lime off the counter and ate it to get the flavor gone, plus that is what you do after a tequila shot. I don't remember what happened after this.

Dream 4: I don't remember what we were doing but me and my wife were driving and had just come from somewhere and were supposed to get something. I was talking to her and wanted to tell her about the cool dreams I had last night, she doesn't really ever care when I tell her so I just said I had the dreams and that was that. We were almost home and we realized we forgot something so I turned around in my driveway to go back. At this point I think the supplements were wearing off.

Dream 5: I think this one was one of the last ones but it could have been before my WBTB. I was on some mission to get some jewel or secret weapon or something from some girl in china town or some downtown area. I had some body guard type guys with me who could whoop butt. The guy had smuggled some sort of weapon that looked like an umbrella in his suitcase. I had to talk to some girl and she gave me a code word or location for the thing I was supposed to get. Others were after us and trying to get the same thing. I was some sort of espionage/spy stuff but is pretty fuzzy now.

WBTB: 4am Supps: 3mg G, 250 C, 250 Valerian and .5 mel

Routine: Got up and took my Valerian right away to keep me rather calm and hopefully keep me on the sleepy side. Read some old DJ entries and went back to bed 25 minutes later, right before I layed down I took other supps.

Had one non lucid prior to WBTB and didn't have too hard of a time getting back to sleep.

Woke with this around 530 or so but didn't record till around 8 or 9.

I was downstairs in an inside/outside living area. I was lying in a bed and we were either really cleaning up or moving out of our house. My wife was upstairs throwing a bunch of stuff out of a window like papers and whatnot. I told her that it would probably make more sense if the bagged it up there so she didn't have to pick it up twice. She didn't really care for my comments. I layed down in bed to go to sleep with lucidity on my mine (this was in the dream), I woke again (FA) and there was a dog on my head. I ended up laying on the dog and trying to get back to sleep again, still thinking of lucidity. I put my head near the side of the bed and it kept sinking down further and further never ending. I thought that I might be in a dream at this point. I tried to open my eyes but it was very difficult, I could open them a bit but they would clamp back shut. After alot of struggling I got them to stay open but they were fluttering a bit. I fought a bit more and finally got them to stay open. I did a RC with my hand and brought it up to my face but couldn't see it. I tried again and again I couldn't see it. It was like I knew it was there and I should be able to see it but it just wasn't there. I rolled out of bed (didn't even get stuck in the covers this time) and was finally able to see my hands. They looked normal. Oh well, back to bed. I turned to get back in bed and it was now a tan couch now. I checked my hand again and really looked and noticed some awkwardness about them, then I saw the wavyness and the shrinking and growing of the fingers.

LUCID: I didn't study anything like I said I was and just walked over to the side of the room with some cabinets and a refrigerator. I was in a basement of a house, not huge just a single large room and a small bathroom off to the side. I went into the refrigerator since I wanted to try some more food and opened it. On the bottom I saw a can of peanut butter. I grabbed it and took off the lid and got some with my finger from inside the top ring of the container. It wasn't bad actually, tasted nutty at least. I just tasted didn't chew or swallow. I then decided to find some dog biscuits to do the task from last month. I went into one cabinet which had pots and pans. Then I told myself they were in this cabinet and opened a top one and there were a bunch of different bagged items. I went through a few of them not recognizing dog treats and then again I thought they are here in the back. I grabbed a yellow bag and tried to read it but couldn't make anything out. I knew they were either cat or dog treats. This will do. I opened it up and got a handful out. They were shaped as animals, kind of looked like the animal crackers but they had the color of a salami type meat. Pink with some of the white specks riddled through them. I dropped a couple on the floor for the dogs that were by me and then popped one in my mouth. It tasted meaty, nothing amazing or gross, just there really. I then began picking up the mess that I made, wrappers on the counter. I thought this was funny that I was cleaning up and it didn't matter but I kept doing it anyways. I tossed it all in the trashcan in the bathroom. I saw a window and thought to go out it but wanted to find some people to do the St Patties day TOTM on so stayed inside. I did however want to jump through the ceiling to get upstairs. I remember I pictured in my head this failing and it did. I jumped up and went through some of the ceiling tiles and came back down with broken tiles around me. Stairs it is. I headed for the stairs on the other side of the room and started climbing them. I was about half way up when I heard my daughter and wife talking about me liking frosting. Happily I replied "I do like frosting" and before I got to the door to go to the upstairs I woke up.

I was pretty excited I had this lucid that lasted probably 5 to 10 minutes after my previous 5 or 6 have been less than 10 seconds.

No supplements.

Bed: 1015

I woke from this lucid around 130, pretty early for me to have one. I didn't recall for long or take notes on it since it was really just another shorty. So I am trying to remember all of this first thing in the morning. It actually messed up recall of my non lucids since my mind went right to the recall of the lucid.

I was in a kitchen and I don't remember if I was in the refrigerator or not yet. I remember doing a RC on my hand and I think a refrigerator door may have been open, but I really only remember the lucid part. LUCID: I studied my hand for a bit and tried to get the dream a little clearer that way. I ended up reaching into the refrigerator to get a piece of bread that was sitting on a shelf. I studied it looking at the pores. I actually kept thinking to myself about waking up and if I was going to wake up, then would mentally tell my stupid dream self to stop thinking about that. It was a battle of wit with myself. I didn't spin out right away however since I was trying to focus on the slice of bread. I was looking at the pores and nooks and crannies. It was not really focusing much to my surprise. I don't think I really did a good job of this last night. Anyways I took a bite of the bread since I don't ever remember eating anything while I was lucid. Really it was just a bland piece of cardboard, not really any flavor. Shortly after a couple of chews I was out of a dream. I think this was towards the end of a sleep cycle but not positive.

Not great but another lucid none the less and I think I extended the time of this one by about 10 fold of the last one.

Pre Bed - 500 mg Valerian, 3 mg melatonin 11 pm.
WBTB - 250mg Choline, 3 mg G, .3mg melatonin.

First dream I remember after WBTB is being in the kitchen and getting my vitamins together for bed and WBTB, I took another whole 4mg pill of G and this stressed me out since I had taken the 3 earlier and I knew I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep. Of course this did not lead to a RC.

I was in a meeting at work and we were finishing very late. I was going to go to bed and headed up some stairs, something prompted me to do a RC half way up the stairs. I looked at my hand quickly and then dropped it, then I realized it might not have looked right I looked again and there were the 7 fingers. LUCID: I was really baffled that this was a dream so I just decided to go ahead and continue on what I was doing and heading to bed. I began walking and came out.

I keep forgetting to stabilize. I wasn't really super excited too but I think every time I do gain lucidity my dream really destabilizes.

So two nights in a row for lucids, two last night. They haven't lasted longer than a few seconds for the last two nights. Guess I need to go back to stabilizing more before I get moving in the dream. I had 5 dreams I remembered clearly but only annotating the lucids on here.

Pre bed - 3mg Melatonin, 500 mg Valerian at 10pm
WBTB - 2mg G, 250mg C, 250mg Val, .3 mg Melatonin. 4am. (usually do this earlier but alarm didn't go off)

1. In a grocery store at a red box. I was trying one of my CC that has been acting up lately (worn out strip) and it wouldn't take it. I ran it over and over again. A couple got behind me in line and this added to my frustration. I looked for my other CC but I couldn't find it in my wallet. I did find another card but it was probably for a grocery store to get discounts. I got out of line frustrated. I turned around and got ready to walk out. I was at the end of all of the check out lines and reached in my pocket to get my keys. I pulled them out and half were missing. This frustration led me to do a RC and I found I had 6 fingers. LUCID: I immediately thought of dog biscuit TOTM and began to walk and whirled out of the dream. This is probably my shortest lucid to date.

2. I was lying in bed sleeping and heard the TV. I thought maybe I was dreaming since the TV wasn't on when I went to bed. This may have been a FA WILD but I am not sure. I had a couple of dreams after the last lucid before this one. Anyways my eyes seemed like they were glued shut or I was just so very tired. I finally managed to get them open and I was in a bedroom. I looked at my hand and saw five fingers, but I wasn't really convinced. I struggled with my covers a lot and then finally managed to get out of bed. I looked at my hand again and thought I saw a faint 6th finger. This was not my bedroom but a bedroom I had at my dads house when I was in high school. No bells went off yet though. I went to the window and looked out. I saw trees and a street beyond them, it was very peaceful outside and still dark out. I tried to look at my hands again and again a faint 6th finger but it was still dark in the room. I walked to the bedroom door to the light switch and on the way there I pinched myself under the arm. Didn't feel anything, but still not convinced. I then turned on the light switch and it didn't work. I looked and there were several different plates. I switched another on and the lights came on. I looked at my fingers now and had seven on one hand. I checked the other and had 7 as well. Lucid: I thought of going downstairs and getting a dog biscuit, again I immediately spun out. Not sure what is going on lately. Guess I need to work on stabilizing a little more once becoming lucid and I am a little calmer.

1st Lucid in almost 3 weeks and ruin it.

Pre: 100mg 5htp 930pm
WBTB: 3mg Galantamine, 250 Choline, .3 mg Melatonin. 1am.

Quite restless getting back to sleep but after about an hour I fell asleep and woke with this about an hour later.

I was at a house with my daughter and my wife. I don't remember what she was doing but my daughter was in the buff. My wife noticed that she had a pretty bad rash on her behind. I went to the bathroom to get the butt cream and all of a sudden I had to number 2 like I had bad Mexican food the night before. I almost didn't get down in time and it seemed like the earth was coming out of me. I remember wiping and thinking WTF? At this point I did a RC and bam 7 fingers

Lucid: I was pretty excited since it had been awhile since my last lucid. I stood up and grabbed some of the bottles that were on a metal shelf next to the toilet. There were lotions and whatever other stuff is on those bottle on the shelves in my bathroom. Anyways I started trying to read them to no avail really. I touched the top of the metal grated shelf and headed into the hallway. TOTM with the dog bone was on my mind and I was going to the kitchen to find one. I got to the hallway and had shouted focus a moment before. I was walking down the hall singing "FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS" very excited. I saw the cabinets above the kitchen counters. They were pretty dark and then I thought about writing on dream views after I try the dog biscuit and then thought about waking up and wham whirled out.

I don't know how many times I have done this to myself. I just need to stick to the task and think of nothing else. I laid really still for awhile afterwards trying to DEILD to no avail. I had a bunch more non lucid dreams after this but no more lucids.
