First new journal (DJ Restart)
Very vague, simply remembered me and Olivia hugging and cuddling together in the front seat of a school bus, left side. (no other details whatsoever.

Best dream of my life (no joke it was on 11/11/11)
Semi Lucid:
First dream:
Started in the setting of my Outward Bound trip to Colorado, in a glacier melt lake(similar to lakes I saw on my trip but not an exact one) I jumped into the water for fun and it wasn't cold and it didn't have feeling. I vaguely remember it suspending me a little like jello. At this point I was semi-lucid(still not in control mostly passive watching what my brain wanted to do) and decided to climb up the mountain nearby above the lake. The climb up changed slightly towards the floating mountains of Pandora mixed with base jumping cliffs in Europe.
When I got to the top I think I was para-sailing for sometime between 3-6 hours, before landing on the coast of a (large) island shore, next to an elementary school. When I looked inland I saw skyscrapers that reminded me of Inception mixed with modern day New York.The city was approx. 10-15-20 miles away, it might have constantly been changing distance, my depth perception wasn't perfect. So I guess I rounded up some people to safari with me up there, we passed the mountains again probably 2 minutes later(or I teleported back to the top) but instead of going down on the other side of the mountains it continued slowly uphill with semi-thick trees. Eventually(after following a river riddled with waterfalls) we reached a bridge and we crossed it. It probably wasn't more than 30-50 feet across the river. Once on the other side there were stone steps leading up to a spa where there was either 1 or 2 guys that I said "We're gonna (come back and) be the king of everything (and all of this)"(inside these was what I was thinking not saying aloud or was questionable whether or not it happened) and then almost got in a fight but I think I used my brain to will them not to fight. Then we got to the city and there was something going on, like a wedding pre-party thing but it was in no way generic. All I remember is tossing a ping pong ball from 2 stories up and made it in a jug some girl was carrying without looking. Then I tried to explain (Idk to whom, maybe my conscious mind?) that someone broke their wrist because there were girls (some looked like bridesmaids) jumping off of a 15 foot or so playground/playplace then climbing back up. The play ground changed back and forth in between a playground and a (10+ story) sky scraper. At one time when I climbed a ladder up to the 2nd story of the skyscraper, there was a flatscreen on the glass next to the ladder(outside surface of the building) on which someone tried to refine my task of what I was searching for, for me. But I soon forgot that and proceeded to turn the dream into a mix of GTA4/GTA5/real life/ and the movie "Authur". I bought a cargo ship(as a rich spoiled kid), and was driving it through the harbor of what seemed to be the graphics of GTA 4. Then someone in a harbor crane (the voice of the nanny from "Arthur" tried to pick up my cargo ship, and I used a corrosive cannon/weapon on the ship to melt the bridge on which the crane used to move across the harbor(kind of like train tracks). I think that was the end of that dream.
Dream 2(kind of a fragment):
Me and the cross country guys on my team (I physically saw the form of at least 5 of them and felt the others' presence, including one Italian exchange student who doesn't even run at all but is in my AP PHYS with me) were running north on A1A, the north-south highway that runs up the east coast, and probably went about 20 miles in around 5 minutes.
Then I woke up.

So I downloaded the song from the soundtrack of Inception for my first WILD attempt today. I cut the song as well as have the Sleep Cycle app downloaded, which can play the song whenever I am in a light sleep cycle within a given amount of time. So now it will play towards the end of my first dream I'm hoping, then I can write it down or voice record then try a WILD or just try the WILD to be sure I don't become too aware. I'd have to say I'm feeling pretty boss right now and I'm hoping this will be the breaking point for my recall and LDs.

Song name: Je ne regrette rien (I don't regret anything)

Me and Kourtney were captured by some people, and we were locked in some kind of office with a lot of random junk in it. So after the kidnappers checked in on us a few times, we took some of the junk and decided to escape and leave school. So then we stole some bikes(motorcycles) from the garage on our way out and then drove out onto the very nearby highway. All I can remember from other dreams was: Ben(my friend) was climbing on walls and things, and I was here(idk where "here" was) with my entire family including my grandparents from my dad's side. I also had to introduce some stranger to gym class.

I woke up laying in my bed and Jordan walks into my room and stops at the foot of my bed. Then I ask her, "Jordan, can I have a hug?" She kind of laughed unexpectedly, and said "Sure." So I got up, took off the blanket, and gave her a hug. Then I ended up picking her up and falling into my lounge chair, and she started laughing and telling me to stop, playfully. But I let go of her waist and she still acted as if I was holding on. She didn't get up until I told her to. And then someone, it must have been an administrator from my school because Kourtney(I didn't see her face and she disappeared right after)gave him something for the school. And then I got a little book to give to him too, and he rejected it and told me to keep it. After that there's a gap in the dream, but I must have asked Jordan something bad, because she said, "How could you ruin this house of God?" And then it got blurry and started to fade, I think she said, " We'll see" sometime after that." It trails off from there.

My first attempt to enter a LD/Sleep Paralysis
I laid down and relaxed, started to meditate, keeping my mind awake but letting my body fall apart from my mind. After about 30-35 minutes, I started hearing weird thumping noises. Then I had an OBE, and my "body" sank a foot into the bed, while my head remained on the pillow. After an excitement awakening, I must have drifted off and woken up 2 hours later. Then sporadic dreams throughout the night that I couldn't recall.
