Fragment of Dreams
Dream recall from today's naps. For some reason forgetting to RC on waking up in dream... I was in the some city area and there were buildings made of red brick, later i was at home and i went to sleep, i was then in some place called 'Scattered Land' which was a bunch of deserty floating islands, i woke up and there was some discussion with the family and then it was freezingly cold and i went back to sleep, this time there was the screen with a map that was ranking some heights or something like that, i recall there were numbers like 50,000,000 100,000,000 , 250,000,000 , 666,000,000% , 1,500,000,000 , 2,500,000,000 , then i woke up and it was still freezingly cold, i noticed weird comic about ponies on the drawer( i am not even into that IWL).
I'm in the living room and I see a light bulb. One of those flood light types. It has big furry spider legs, and it's walking across a table that I no longer have. I RC...but it fails (nose pinch but I forgot to realize I needed to feel the pressure). I thought about just randomly trying to fly, but I felt like I would have looked stupid, so I went outside. I spent the remainder of the dream searching for a hammer to kill the spider with, and woke up obviously mad.
4/5/13 1. I am on a low ski-lift with no snow. I can control my cart, and I accidentally ram it into the one parallel to me. I knock her off, and I see her body below. 2. I get a job at a deli store. I sit in the back and package sandwiches according to orders. I mess up, and I walk out without receiving pay because of my embarrassment.
3/22/13 1. I did not do my math homework.
Hmm, i guess something else affects the recall in this case then... I was in some blue area, then there was some video game stuff and view was switching to 2D, then there was some kind of area with curvy metallic surfaces.
Prebed: 1 1/2 glass of soy milk Total sleep time: 8 hrs Recall method: none, woke up briefly after each dream but was so sleepy, I didn't bother to write anything. Did not attempt WBTB either. Everything is so fragmented now, good thing I still remember although with much less detail the short DILD I had. Dream1: We are back to high school and as usual we have to do an extra year. Everybody should be in class soon, I wonder again how are we going to do that. I am waiting for a friend of mine to show up as usual, I don't think he did. Fragment2: One of my classmates, her features are a bit strange and now she also has a sister that looks very similar to her. (She actually has a brother) Fragment3: On the beach, I am watching the waves. I think somebody, it kind of looked like a documentary and I was part of it, said that here the waves are just the right size to swim and maybe surf? Dream4 mini-DILD: The background is grey and a number of DCs that look like zombies are walking towards me. I become lucid. I remember my recent resolution to freestyle during the next lucids and see what I can make out of the situation. I decide that I will use this one to train my reactions. Ok, so they are walking towards me, I don't care at all. I am just consciousness, no material substance, they can't hurt me. They are still advancing, and one comes so close that it actually touches my hand. I feel and see my hand and this destroys my concept of non-materiality. I brace myself for the impact. The dream slowly fades and I wake up. Note to self: Maybe I should spend less time thinking and more time acting in LDs? Fragment5: I go to the kitchen to look for the bottle of water I bought for myself irl and find that one of our guests has opened it and now holds it in her hand. It is too late to say anything, I just wish this hasn't happened. -------------------------------- April Review Number of ld nights: 9 (3 with double lds) Number of lds: 12 (2 WILD, 2 DEILD, 8 DILD) Quality: Good, with few exceptions, a few fade away issues and changing the scene is still a challenge Recall: I am getting used to having a roller-coaster type of recall. I am not sure if I should place additional demands on that at the moment. Things to work on: - I think I might go for some flexibility on task completion and work more on stability. (But who knows in what kind of mood I will be?) - I also want to go back to a more decent WBTB schedule after meeting all kinds of relatives and friends is over. - There are other issues (like changing the scene) to work on but will see how it all goes and deal with them accordingly. I got more than I expected in April, so I won't be expecting more than I can get in May. Just keep dreaming...

I had two dream fragments yesterday. The first was just of me playing the game League of Legends, which I've played some recently with old college friends. I don't remember much about it, though. The second fragment was more involved. I was living in a shack that was elevated onto stilts, and was very small. As you walked in the door, there was a small set of stairs leading up to the right to a platform where I could sit on a couch. When I first entered the shack, there was a female ninja with two kids. She wanted her kids to fight me, in order to practice their ninja skills apparently. After fighting the kids, she came at me, but quickly we stopped fighting and the dream skipped ahead to my mother being in the same shack, handing me what looked like a rusted out slow cooker. She was very excited, because she had removed a piece of the slow cooker that sensed whether the ceramic pot part of it was in there before turning on. That way, you could just head the metal shell of it. Unfortunately, both of these were short snippets, and neither was lucid. I'm glad to be back in the DJing mode, though, and hopefully my recall begins to improve.
My girlfriend had cut my hair a lot shorter and i regretted it.
Dream recall from today's naps. Had problems falling asleep again and not much recall when i managed to. Dream 1(fragment): I wake up in my room but before i can do anything dream fades out. Dream 2(fragment): I wake up in my room again and like before dream just fades out.
I guess i should be even more strict with the time i fall asleep at. I was playing some video game, and there was also something AI War related, but can't recall what exactly.
Total sleep time: 9 hrs Prebed: 1 glass of soy milk Special HI: somewhere between a few mins-to about half an hour after falling asleep, I wake up as I sometimes do and stare in the dark, seeing a grid of hexagons that is everywhere. I get special HI maybe once a week or every two weeks always when emerging from deep sleep and whatever I am seeing is always imposed on the room. It mostly has to do with the fabric of space. Dream1: I am looking at the lower part of a door and break it up a bit so that whatever is behind is slightly visible, initially it looks like a corridor with other doors. As I pass through it, I find myself on the roof of our old home, or something similar. I enjoy the view, but it is rather high and I almost fall over the edge. The roof platform is supported by a thin wooden beam which moves as I am there, the roof is not very stable. I try to fix it, the beam is actually the foot of the bed? A friend of mine comes and I ask him for help. While he is too heavy to accompany me on the roof, he can at least hold my legs so that if I lose balance, he will catch me. Fragment2: My mom is making promises she cannot and in my opinion should not keep. She is also financially supporting her best friend who now expects me to deliver some toothpaste to them. I go looking for this special toothpaste, but I can't find the particular color that they want.
Dream recall from today's naps. Nap #1(fragment): I was visiting dreamviews and then was trying to WILD. Nap #2(fragment): I am walking around the home, and while walking around one of rooms i did spontaneously realized that i am dreaming. I could not move, but after a second i could. I went through the door and to the left it was dark and i tried to manipulate shadows into summoning something. I saw very shadowy and small pterodactyl looking creature, but then dream faded out. I woke up but i kept eyes closed, i saw the room with closed eyes but i thought it was HH, there was an board with an word 'SPECIAL' on ti. I tried to DEILD but then i got interrupted by someone entering the room, i opened the eyes and it was someone from family, then shortly i woke up properly.
Two fragments. Dream 1 (fragment): There was some open area, with a raised area next to it. This area apparently had Phazon from the Metroid series in the ground. There was some kind of water pump, and phazon would pool right in front of it, and we had to clear it out with a shovel (?). Some girl tried to get water without cleaning it up, and got corrupted, but without altering her appearance. [Note - Phazon does "corrupt" things in Metroid, for those who don't know]. Dream 2 (fragment): I was in my grandparents' bathroom. It was much larger than normal. The door was locked, but the actual locking mechanism wasn't actually there - and was simply empty space. I could also see through the crack in the door. Despite this, it closed and locked perfectly fine.
Total sleep time: 7 hrs, still tired Dinner: 2 Eggs plus other stuff Prebed: 1 1/2 Glass of soy milk Fragment1: I am some kind of adventurer, like Indiana Jones, a man as well. I am about to enter a bunker, when the doors begin to close. I don't want to be stuck inside so I roll on the floor and escape through the exit door just before it closes sliding from above. Dream2 short DILD: I am in a familiar yard and there are loads of mattresses all stacked together, a pile as high as the third floor perhaps. I am initially sitting on top and trying to balance. I then get down and on the ground there is some red liquid which is toxic and contagious? A Rottweiler is under the influence of this red liquid, he is ranging mad behind a glass window, people are watching him, he is deadly dangerous. I try to quickly move away, pass by it, and find myself on the street. I go in the wrong direction, the street looks slightly familiar in the dream, I have no idea where I am, but confidently go in the direction which I assume is the right one. I begin to speed move on the street and become lucid. I continue speed moving, trying not to hit some people and two German shepherds in front of me. Memory gap...perhaps I woke up? Dream3: In a store and have the feeling I have been here before. I want to pick up something I have ordered, but it looks like they couldn't deliver because they don't have my address. The old lady behind the counter takes out a piece of paper and shows me that the address is missing. As I am trying to fill out the address, it begins to change, but I am filling out a non-existent address anyways and that does not seem odd at all. I then see that they are selling a special tea to make you lucid. I am so happy they are finally selling those things and want to buy a pack. I also want to get a fancy facial lotion but become distracted, so I forget about it. Fragment4: Another store, this time I am looking at coffee mugs, wondering whether to buy one. There is also a beautiful teapot and a guy is trying to pour water in the tea cup, but it doesn't quite work. One of us is actually biting the teapot, can't remember who it was. Dream5: In something like a museum, similar to a place I have been before in another dream. It also resembles a bookstore and they are selling drawing materials, I wanted to buy these so that I can begin painting with color. Further ahead there are two guys wrestling. They are playing a strange game, as if they are anime characters, and one pretends to hurt the other and the other pretends he gets kicked in the butt. I think of how good they are at doing this whole thing, this requires a lot of skill. A semi-familiar girl comes to me and wants me to be her partner in this strange game, but I can't do it, so I turn her down. She then takes out a napkin with something written on it. I just see the first few lines: DEILD and SxxEILD. So she is into lucid dreaming? I ask her what her nickname is, I am assuming she has a DV profile. She looks kind of offended and as if I have crossed some privacy line. She takes back the napkin and walks away. Dream6 DILD, TOTM: I am with my friends and boyfriend and it looks like we are doing some laundry. We are inside some place maybe public laundry, maybe store, it is rather empty, just us there. We go out on the street and hail starts to fall. I also see some lightning. I then look at the sky and see some indescribable lights there. They take the form of many invisible airplanes. There is also some thunder-like sound. I tell my friends, " And you didn't believe about the end of the world, well here it is!". I look in the sky again, something like a small sun, looking menacing to me. Strange things in the sky, I may be dreaming. I become aware. I still feel threatened, what if this is real? No, it's a dream! I tell myself. Ok, it's a dream, but this thing is in the sky, let me get out of there. I turn around the corner, and continue on my way but the dream begins to fade. I continue walking and start rubbing my hands, but I don't feel them so much and that worries me. They actually feel kind of numb (but not paralyzed). I see a DC woman and desperately try to cling with my mind to her, I ask her to help me, I try to engage her, but whatever she answers I can barely hear. I think I may have quickly DEILDed at some point, but it was more like a mild dream fade and then back to the dream, no time in the void. I turn back and see that the thing in the sky is taking a lot of space now and it reminds me of the war of worlds machine. I turn my back and think that if I go far away from it, it may not notice me or just disappear. I continue on my way, it is of course a dead end street. I even stumble on some steps of this dead end street, shortly wondering how did I manage to do that? I begin climbing a fence and cross to where there are some houses. I enter one and find myself in the kitchen. I notice something interesting there, can't remember what. I go in the other room, and concentrate on a DC that is watching TV. " Tell me about the situation, what is going on with this thing outside?" I then remember that I don't need to stay here and want to change the scene. There are now three DCs in the room. " I need to change the scene, will you help me?", I ask them. A very helpful and enthusiastic DC takes the initiative " Sure, I will help you, guide you, where do you want to be?" happily replies the man. I initially think "Angel Falls" but then I remember I wanted to finish TOTM first. So I glance at the floor and start looking for coal. I see a large black object and take a piece of it, but it turns into a backpack and the piece in my hand is useless. I turn to the DC woman on my left. " Quickly, give me a piece of coal" , she hands me a brown black pointy piece of a coal. I place it between my fingers and it feels like rubber. I begin pressing it and try to shape it into a diamond. I shortly close my eyes and the dream begins to fade. I am annoyed. " Turn to diamond, turn to diamond", I have to have positive expectations, I remind myself. I look into my hands and finally a diamond shaped crystal is there. The way it is faceted reminds me of a crystal glass my grandma had. Still holding the diamond in my hands I start thinking that I have everything I need to do the four-in-one task in this room with the DCs. Then the dream fades and so does my overall ability to concentrate.I wake up and head for the journal. Comments: Wow! Finally got that diamond, not quite as I expected or planned the whole thing, but still... and with April almost over, I think it's time for me to relax and call it a month! Edit: Wrote down this entry, everybody left and I decided to go back to bed because I felt tired. As usual I was taking my time relaxing in bed when bf decided to give me a call. I told him that I am tired of being woken up, and decided to get up since our guests will soon be back from their walk. Lol! This whole situation is getting ridiculous, but then I have to ask myself "Perhaps this lack of sleep and constant disruption is keeping me on the edge while at the same allowing for some REM rebound to occur?" The truth is I have had 7 LDs since our guests arrived, so I probably should turn my coal complaining into a diamond gratefulness? Whatever the reason, thanks for the great month!

I was in some sort of Auction House without a lot of game type characters bidding for items up the top of the room, where Gandalf from LOTR was selling them off. The whole floor was covered in fragments of gold that looked slightly like sweet-corn, and smaller fragments around those, I was picking them up with my teeth, And the more gold I ate the more I had to spend. There was some sort of God/entity's. One was "The perfect one", who was like genius and could calculate impossible geometry in his mind. There was another, I can't recall it's name, but I remember being angry towards it because it was so greedy, I want to say it's name was Greed but I'm not sure if it was. There was this amazing staff of something or other that Gandalf was selling at one point and I was trying to scrape up enough Gold from the ground of the Auction area to buy it, one man bidded 900 gold, which wasn't much at all, and I remember being angry because I couldn't beat his stupidly low bid. That's all I could recall.
