Going to a wedding
I'm at Bob W's house. I pull up YNAB on my phone to check something, and he sees it and asks me about it, appreciating that I'm taking good steps to take care of my finances. Now we're getting ready to leave to go to a wedding, and I'm still in my grubby clothes. I'm not sure where my good clothes are, but I think they're waiting for me where the wedding is being held. Now I'm in the house by myself; I know that everyone else has already loaded up in Bob's van and they're waiting for me. I have a moment of doubt about whether we'll all fit, but I assume he knows what he's doing and that we'll be fine.

Now I'm sitting by myself in a vehicle. I look around and realize I'm not in a minivan. I get out and see that I was in a large station wagon. I walk out of their garage onto their driveway, and I see a huge double-decker tour bus, and I know they're waiting for me. I get on board. To my left, a narrow stairway goes up to the upper deck. Another passage leads off to my right to the driver, and I can only see one chair - a nice big padded one - in front of me. Now we're driving down his driveway, and the driver makes some comment about having shifted too many gears too soon, and that he can't shift back, so it'll be a tough merge into traffic on the main road.

Now we've arrived and are in the room where the wedding will be held. It's a small room with lots of dark wood; very attractive, but I'm concerned that there are only three chairs plus a lectern. I look around the room again and realize that it's actually a hallway; there are many closed doors going this way and that. A woman - the wedding organizer - says that a couple more chairs are on their way, but I know that's just not enough - it won't even be enough for our small party, let alone for all the other guests. Looking through a window, I notice that one of the doors leads out onto a balcony.

Now I'm standing on the balcony with Blake, looking down at a steep beach. A huge wave crashes over the beach, going way up the sand, eventually cresting the top and going down the far side. I can see a large bag get washed over, and I know that there's a path down there - though I can't see it - that's about to get washed over.

Tasks of the Month
I'm in a house, and I realize that I'm dreaming. I start to move slowly and carefully, then I remember that I always do that in my lucids and force myself to walk normally while making it a priority to remember that I'm dreaming. I try to remember what my goals are and remember that the first TOTM is to find a missed present. I try to visualize what a Christmas tree with a single present under it would look like, then turn around, expecting to find it. Instead, I find a whole bunch of small, sparse, undecorated trees. I don't see any presents, but I walk over and look under them. I see something small near the wall, so I crawl under the trees to get it. It's a huge pouch of Fruit by the Foot. I tear it open, curious as to what I'll find inside, and I'm almost surprised that it actually has Fruit by the Foot in it. I pull the roll out and see that it's not well rolled, and it's somehow really gooey. I unroll a bit and try a bite. Because it's so gooey, I end up getting a bit of the paper in my mouth, but I decide that, since I'm dreaming, the paper won't be a problem, and I can't even feel it. It tastes just like the real thing. I get some on my fingers, and I have trouble getting it off.

Now that I've completed the first task, I try to recall another one, and I remember the pencil task. I start to form an image of a table with a piece of paper and a pencil; then I notice that there's already a table in front of me, covered with arts supplies, with someone sitting at while drawing. I'm already fixated on the idea of summoning a table and completely ignore the one in front of me. Once I have the image in my mind, I turn around to find a table exactly as I'd pictured it. Walking up to it, I mentally command the pencil to draw something. It rises to a 45 degree angle and starts to scribble all over the paper. Some areas are densely colored in with jagged strokes, and other areas have wide, flowing curves. Oddly, the pencil is drawing in blue. The paper was already half-covered in some kind of picture, and the existing design is quickly hidden by the scribbles.

Now that I've completed both tasks, I try to think of something else to do, and I decide to summon Jadzia Dax (I have absolutely no idea where this idea came from - I haven't watched DS9 in years). I think of what she looks like and turn around, but no one is there. I start wandering the house looking for her. I see a couple of people and ignore them, then finally find someone who kind of looks like her, even if she is wearing a dress. As soon as I start walking towards her, she changes into a grizzled man with a buzz cut. I try to change him back, but it doesn't work, and the dream fades.

Foiled flying
I'm in a house looking at a post from Heather. A picture shows two of her boys playing with a strange toy: one of them is holding something in his mouth, and the other is pulling on a long elasticated cable attached to the mouthpiece. I can't imagine what this thing is supposed to do and how they can play with it without one of them getting hurt; either the one with the mouthpiece gets a face full of elastic or the other one ends up with a hard mouthpiece flying at him. The caption of the picture says something about home-made gifts often being the best ones.

Now I'm working on Poppy's table with Bob H. The table has been pulled apart in the middle, and he's trying to put the leaves (3 of them, each 6 inches wide) back in. He's having trouble, trying to put them in the wrong way, and I really want to tell him that I'll take care of it, but I don't so I don't offend him. Eventually he puts an extension in the tip of the table (since when has this table had extensions?). I try to look at it without being obvious to see if the grain of the wood matches - I don't think he got it right. Thankfully, he announces that he needs to leave and asks me to finish up and then put the table away somewhere safe (it's currently off to the side of the living room just to get it out of the way).

Now he's gone, and I realize I'm dreaming. Vividness is poor but not bad. I rub my hands, but it doesn't really do much. Nearby, I see my dog and cat lying down in front of the fireplace, and the dog is licking the cat. I praise him for being a good dog, walk over, and pet the cat. Her fur is warm and soft, and the dream grows more vivid. I try to focus on more of my senses to see what else I can pick up. I can't smell anything, and there's nothing to taste, but I can hear her purr. I stand up and decide that this time I'm going to practice flying.

I walk down a hallway and turn left towards the front door. I open it and pass through and am disappointed to find myself in the garage. I decide there's no need to wait until I'm outside to fly and jump into the air then zoom towards the open garage door. Unfortunately, there's chain-link fence covering the doorway. I steel myself to pass through it, knowing that I've flown through things before; but as I'm about to hit, I have a moment of doubt, and I get caught my it. I manage to force myself through, but I'm disappointed to find myself in another indoor area. I scold myself for failing to properly imagine what I should find. Looking around, I see that there's a section of the ceiling that seems to be open, and I fly towards it. As I get closer, I see that it's also covered by chain-link, but at least I can see sky beyond it. Once again, I get caught by the fence, and I end up waking up.

Soooo, This one is kinda weird. I was in a skate park doing bmx tricks(I can't do that shit in real life), So i go to the back and then shit starts to get violent. I shot an innocent woman before i had to shoot 5 others with guns. I was using an M16-A4 rifle, Semiautomatic. So the shootout only lasted about 3 minutes because in real life....I know all about this weapon. So, we get away and we are driving away pretty fast but, I feel nothing as i disassemble my rifle and store it away. I notice that its kind of dark but then, there is a bright ray of sunshine just blaring through the clouds. I say to the driver...."I just killed 6 people", and he says, "Yea you did you fucking savage". Then I woke up thinking, Im not that savage lol....Just a Musician.

11.20.13

Can't remember how lucid comes. A place near home. I see a man, he is bright pure white, and hovering over the ground in а horizontal position face to ground. I came closer, know from him that he Krilatiy, and I thought he is the same name user from forum (Russian lucid dreams forum). Krilatiy (Крылатый) means Winged on Russian. He looks like angel, fully bright white with classic angel wings and white robe. We talked for nearly all time, I remember the main probably.
First he told something about the dark demonic essences. I said that against them the cross protects very well. I show him my cross on neck, and told how I recently banish some essence and demons in astral. Krilatiy said that is nice.
We moved by flying over the ground. Flew smoothly and relaxed up to my house. I'm not hurry and calmly watched around. Drew attention to awareness, it is high almost like in reality. I view space and felt especially ghostly. And I myself was very ghostly.
At one moment Krilatiy become invisible, but continued to talk with me. I looked at the empty air, and knew that he is here. Again he became visible, and I ask him how I look? he said that I also look like angel.
We came to the house. I saw in the sky fighter jet, he flew very high. I say, let's teleport into the cockpit and fly in it, Krilatiy agreed. I looked at the plane and wanted to be in it, expressed a wish with voice, imagining that I'm in it, closed-open eyes, etc. Krilatiy doing the same thing as me, but we could not, and the jet was out of sight. Then I heard a loud explosions, looked to the direction from the sound came, and saw bright light flashes. Krilatiy entered the house, I did the same. Woke up some time later.

I become lucid. I decide to attempt to create a persistent world. I shut my eyes and attempt to 'move out' of my dreamworld. I fail. Thunder crackles. I open my eyes and I see an ancient woman yell at me. I am terrified. She has dull purple eyes. I recognize her as t~Dreamer~ My fear disappears. I attempt to wake and go through a near infinite sequence of lucid FAs.

Still is the only experience with a mirror in a lucid dream.

Summer 2013

Dreamed that I went for a walk with a dog (which is not from real life). I go out into the yard, and here I realize myself in a dream. Dog is disappeared in this moment.
Sunny positive day. I remembered my plan - look at myself in the mirror. Started searching mirror, walk on the road in the yard, looking around, and saying "mirror, mirror". Two men appeared beside me, they have a large mirror. Rectangular glass, without a frame. I look at it, reflection is cloudy, could not see myself. I decided to seek a second mirror. My wish was fulfilled, saw mirror in few meters from me, it is same as the first. I go up and look, and again cloudy reflection, trying to peer and could discern only my transparent contours, not facial features.
Then I look at myself directly, see normally my body, hands, legs, and clothes which is not from real. I wanted to fly and awake when started it.

I actually had this dream on Christmas morning, but I've been busy and haven't bothered to write it down until now. In fact I didn't even plan on attempting lucid dares until a much later date seeing as I need to completely rebuild myself in terms of lucid dreaming. (I actually have started doing recall excersises.)

However my subconscious completed this dare for me, so I figured it best to post on it.

The dream started with me false awakening and going on an early morning run up to the Library (on Christmas morning) and going to check out a book. When I got there the sky was clear and I could see stars and the sun was just starting to come up. As I arrived I attained some level of lucidity, first questioning why I had decided to come here early on Christmas, when the library was undoubtedly closed, and thinking that I should return home so that we can open presents, and later my lucidity ascended to semi lucidity of the dream environment thinking about completing a lucid dare.

The thing that I remember becoming interesting was from the outside the front wall of the library was gone. You could walk right in and turn around, and then the wall would be visible, but it was still intangible, and you could walk back out to the outside. I did some experimentation with this by walking sideways and observing that the wall was a strange two-dimensional plane, like a bugged polygon in a video game engine that you can only see from one one side.

I then thought about the dare cafe and had given me and decided to look for a journal, with the expectation that one would be on one of the bookshelves. I found a small leather book under a shelf that looked like a journal but I couldn't get it open because it had a lock on it.

Marcus then appeared and said that he wanted to help me complete the dare but that he didn't normally keep a journal so he would have to make one up on the spot. He walked over to the large format printer and plugged a micro-USB cable into the side of the frame of his glasses and the other end into the printer and started printing out a very large sheet of light gray paper with blue writing on it.

The top half read "The four houses of hogwarts are "Nightngale, Grifflepuff, Snakehead and Sandwich" and showed a hogwarts coat of arms in full color. (The rest was written in sloppy blue handwriting that looked not unlike my own handwriting.) The bottom half was some nonsensical math equations using the variables C,W,X,Y,Z, and maybe a few others. They ended an equals sign and a drawing of a sandwich.

Spoiler for What the journal page looked like:

I think he was about to print more pages but I lost the dream and woke up.

I did this semi lucid and my subcon did most of the work, so, DawnEye (still tempted to call you 'Cafe'), let me know if you want me to try again.

Last night I thought about being connected in the dream with Eye to give me enough motivation to lucid dream. I also thought about the upper hand I would have after having my first dream for the night.Before I knew it I was already inside the dream in my old house, surrounded by a few dream characters and Eye.I became aware it was a dream but all I recall doing with this lucidity is exiting the house and observing my surroundings while talking to Eye. I ended up becoming non lucid again though and thought to myself how I ended up walking on a wooden platform.It was then that my memory came back to me, making me feel like I had the upper hand again.

I thought about my lucid goal than and decided to follow whatever characters I saw for now. After following them I felt Dawn was nearby and decided to walk with him. We ended up in a room where most people felt lost and didn't know where to go next. I remember telling Dawn something at the time when suddenly I saw a blonde anime girl running away in the distance and the ocean's water started forming in the room. Afterwards I splashed in the water happily as Dawn walked in it as if he was searching for something. I let him know I was appreciating the moment I had to swim as the water rose higher and higher until it became too much. The water ended up pushing us around and somebody ended up out the window. Can't remember who. It stopped after a bit though and was decreasing in size.

To my surprise a group of creatures rose up out of the water, along side a just above life size Luigi."Dawn look! Those look like a bunch of creatures I could fight for the Dhl mission"I said focusing on their faces. The one that caught my attention the most though was one with a giant chicken head and the luigi guy. Dawn acknowledged that I should take the opportunity so I leaped towards them and kicked all their faces as they stood in a row and threw a few punches at them while thinking I could use my wind power. But I stopped after seeing them walk away nonchalantly like not much happened after they felt the hit. They also seemed like poor dream villains so I let it go than followed Dawn somewhere else.

We ended up inside a Mall where Eye appeared. I followed them wondering where they would go but lost sight of them eventually. I stopped near huge escalators that went down and up. It being a dream I could just jump over it but I wanted to try using it. I walked onto it going down but than it suddenly broke and I fell onto a step.I wondered if Dawn and Eye would help out if they found me but it wasn't like I needed help. I got back up and leaped onto the floor level ready to find them again. We ended up crossing paths again but I lost lucidity.Dawn and I entered a Library where the receptionist asked for our cards. I gave him a small one on my key chain and decided to check out a few comics while I was there. However, as I was looking I found an interesting looking pocket lotion on the book shelf labeled Aloe Vera. It seemed to have small prizes inside its case so I wanted to buy it. But than an old friend came up to me and started complimenting me on the new coat I got. I was proud of the material used on the coat and thanked her. She than asked for lotion so I gave her it than walked away to look for a book. However, I got distracted when my coat and shirt came off and I saw some people laughing. I know I also became semi lucid when I saw a kid that resembled Eye sitting at a table. But I woke up after walking away.

Notes: I forgot that I mainly wanted to interact with Eye in the dream when I saw Dawn. But ah well...Maybe another time.

LD 84 - Animal Abuse and Ladies The title is extremely literal, read at your own discretion.

I'm in a large store that sells pretty much everything you can think of. There is a room with a lot of whiteboards and transparent boards.
A couple of DCs and I use permanent markers to draw on them, only realizing our mistake after drawing. Our red drawings will be on them for a while.
I wander off.

In a small room I hear kittens wrapped in blankets. I uncover the kittens and see that one of them is dirty and starving.
I'm furious. The kitten is very vocal, begging for food I assume. I pick her up. I'm ready to adopt her and the other kitten to save them.

Dream skips. Two of the store's staff are outside, behind the store, trying to kill the kittens and doing a poor job.
I see one hind leg of the kitten separated and a bloody mess of a kitten crawling away. I AM BEYOND FURIOUS!
A magnum revolver appears in my hand. I point at them, but calm down and instead end the kitten's misery with one bullet straight through the head.
I put the safety on and holster my gun.

I walk away. I appear to be at the elementary school I went to. The yard is literally full of Asian women. They are equidistant from each other, just standing there.
Maybe 300 women or something. This is unnatural, I must be dreaming. I approach one of the Asian girls who's wearing a violet top.
She doesn't seem to like my approach, so I mind control all of them to like me. And it works, you can guess the rest. I end up waking up in the middle of things.

LD 85 - Void Again
My brother drinks whisky and we talk for a long while. He is actively trying to make me realize I'm in a dream.
Finally I do. I apologize for taking so long. I ask him where he would like to go. "Spain." he responds. Spain it is.
I lock my hands in with his and fall backwards. I believe there to be a portal on the floor behind me. Indeed there is. I fall into the void.
Everything disappears. I do not sense myself or my brother. I try to form a scene, but end up waking up before anything appears.

LD 86 - A Little DEILDy
I'm in a hospital. A dark haired nurse is reading a comic and I read over her shoulder. I'm actually leaning against her.
I'm a patient. The comic is about the Duck universe. I notice that I'm a bit too close to her and I back off.
She starts ranting about me hitting on her being wrong. I honestly just wanted to read the comic.
I try to grab the comic from her but she doesn't let me have it. I'm mad. I roll away with my wheelchair.
Another nurse enters the room. She has blonde hair and absurdly small nose. I like her though, she's kind.

Dream dissolves. In the darkness I feel my real body. I'm pretty much awake. But the darkness still feels... malleable.
"Hospital. Corridor." A scene appears in front of me. I grab the wall. "I'm dreaming. This is a lucid dream."
I continue to hold on an focus on more details. I am holding on to a door. The handle is black. The hospital's floor is dark blue.
I don't feel that connected to my dreaming body, but visuals and hearing are crystal clear. Like I tend to, I hear music without source.
A woman is softly singing. I begin to explore the hospital. I go to the second floor, rush past a lot of DCs going about their business and glide down a staircase.
I was ready to phase through people, but they all dodged me.

I enter another corridor full of people. In the middle of them I see a woman singing the song I've been hearing all this time.
She's slightly shorter than me and has medium length blond hair that has been dyed orange a while ago. She has a loose white shirt and smiles as she sings.
Dream dissolves again when I touch her.

25-Dec-2016 - ND Railroad crossing -> DILD - Stop the train, Fly transform prank

ND: I'm on a trip to somewhere, I'm on foot and have to take a train. I am in an area with several close railroad crossings. Many trains come and go on the tracks.
I cross the first with a jump, a train passes very close after my jump.
I lay on the ground, in some bushes between that rail and the next crossing. Trains keep coming and going and I want to stay safe until the next spot for crossing next group of two tracks.
Everything is very vivid, environment is very stable.

When I find a good moment, I am about to jump but a train appears as out of nowhere on the 2nd track, it brakes and triggers a siren.
I stop and run back. I find this very strange.
I look at my cellphone, I see a map of the place, perfectly reproducing the roads and railway tracks around me.
The only strange behavior it's got is the auto-rotation feature, does not properly work and it stays rotated or totally flipped.
Then I notice it's my wife's cellphone, not mine.
I realize this is a dream without any doubt and without need for an RC

DILD: I a still kinda afraid of the trains around me. But double thinking about it I say I have no reason for it.
I stop on the tracks, embrace for impact with my arms and shoulder, and I brake a train there. This boosts my confidence.

I reach some stores, enter it. There are people lining at cash desk. I hit a guy in the back and decide I will prank him.
I go to the bathroom, I try phasing in the wall, but it doesn't work, it's solid. I grab the wall, remove it and hide myself behind it, in the dark.
Then I morph into a fly. I feel some strange sensations, especially on my face.

I fly around the bathroom, then I see the guy enter the nearby bathroom; he washes his hands and looks at himself in the mirror. As a fly, I pester him, he chases me away.
I feel the transformation is disappearing. I go wait for him outside. Dream fades.

26-Dec-2016 - ND#1 Restaurant, WILD Stop theft of the Queen's ring, ND#2 Office/bathroom, ND#3 Lost jacket

ND#1 - Restaurant: I walk around a city with a colleague. We stop for lunch in a small restaurant. The toilets are on the corridor (!!!) I remove my pants and undies, and use toilet (!!!)
We sit at a table. Without any order, a waiter brings a plate with 6 sandwiches. We open them, they look quite bad (!)
My son appears to the side of our table (!)

WILD Stop theft of the Queen's ring: Starting from previous dream, I continue inside the restaurant, make a surprise sandwich to a blonde sitting at a corner table.
Then when I exit the restaurant, I find myself in SF. I walk around some areas I know, then I reach Chinatown
It's quite crowded, I see small shops, lots of people around, cars and small trucks.
At a point I enter a small alley, it's a bit dark

I ask to some people about "Joe", a guy I know from previous investigation is preparing for a theft
I get direction to a nearby alley, a corner door
I go inside a house, make up myself in front of a mirror. I move my eyebrows, mouth around until I get a Chinese-ish appearance
I admire the result in the mirror, looks cool, totally different from my face
Then I go to the designated house

I introduce myself to Joe, a Chinese guy, as "Jackie Chan" (!), a friend of his. He's not suspicious.
I tell him I've made my preparations, and I am ready, but I ask him to remind me what we are going to steal, he says "The ring of the Queen", I get a mental image of the object, it's got a big diamond on top. I reply "Oh sure, how could I have forgot !". We move on.
We walk in the dark to a big stone palace; we enter through some small gate
During the path I see some guard, I wink to them, meaning I am taking care of it, they do not interfere

We find a grand staircase leading to the two thrones. To the left there is a small room, inside it only a display case with the ring.
I ask Joe "Are you still sure you want to steal the ring ?", he's kinda surprised and answers "Yes of course !"
I tell him I am sorry about it, I let the guards turn on the light
He looks at me astonished, then I remove my new face as it was a rubber mask

After that, I fly out of the windows behind the thrones
I feel the dream is still stable enough to do something else
I reach the DHL Head Quarters
It's a modern building on top of a low grassy hill, I land in front of the entrance
The door has the DreamViews logo and the DHL three-stars on it
I am kinda surprised about how stable this is

To the right of the door, there is a lock, I put my hand on it
It turns on, a white light glows and my hand gets trapped inside, while the door opens
I ask the lock to open again and return me my own hand. It does

I enter; there is a lobby, after that I reach a room with some people, most of them wearing colored suits
To the right, near a window, there is an L-shaped sofa, three people are sitting on it. A black guy, a white girl, a white guy
I understand they are like apprentice. They seem happy to see and meet me. We exchange some words I cannot recall
Then I want to visit the training room. I reach it, it's a big square room with white walls, with some training dummies.
I think I am strong enough that this feels like a waste of time.
I aim at a training dummy close to a hay stack, charge a two-hands fireball, incinerate it, scarring the wall behind it.

I transport to my personal tower. I am thinking about fighting the dragon; I see a scene of a dragon flying low between some mountain ranges, but dream is kinda weak at this point, I move to my side and fall asleep.

ND#2 - Office/bathroom: I reach my office, which looks different (!!!) I am in delay (!!) I greet and listen some colleagues discussing and complaining about some new law.
I need to pee, and look for the bathroom (!!!) When I reach it, some female colleagues are in there (!!!) Some are washing their hands in the orinals (!!!)
I exit and say to MM, a colleague, that this things usually happen in my dreams (!!!) However this is evidently not a dream
I say this couple of times, still not realize...

ND#3 - Lost jacket: I am with wife and children, we are walking fast-pacedly. I realize I don't have my jacket under my arm anymore; it must have fallen earlier.
I backtrack looking for it. My son comes with me
I follow a dirt path, curved than straight. We enter a church and exit on the other side, still no sign of the jacket
On the track there is a black BMW car. I ask the guy close to it if he's seen any jacket nearby. He answers no, and I think he's telling the truth. I move on.

I reach two guys and immediately realize they have taken my jacket from the ground.
I ask one of them to show my his cellphone, and see it's mine !
The cover and model are the same. When they turn it on, I can clearly read my name on its screen (!!)
I accuse them of having taken it from the ground, and even see and take my jacket from behind their backs.
I give the stuff to my son, while we come to our hands.

Finally after a month-long dry spell I had my 500th lucid. Woo! Feels like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. The lucid was a short one, but I'm happy and excited again.

I'm sitting on a chair and as I look down I notice my legs are that of a woman. I have a short false awakening right after noticing my legs and in the false awakening I'm writing down the incident to my notebook. Another dream begins in which I'm with a friend of mine, Tony. We're standing on an open balcony just right above the surface of a lake. Tony tells me that he could throw his cellphone into the water to make it bounce like some rocks do. I try to shake the idea out of his head, but being the guy who does all kinds of weird and funny things, he tosses it anyway. The phone swings back like a boomerang, hits the roof and then suddenly starts bouncing above the water like a flat rock. Tony is so exhilarated by the weird thing that just happened that he straight up jumps into the water as well after his phone. I can't believe this is happening. I can't wait to tell others what I just witnessed. As he gets back I notice a dim light shining under the surface. I wonder what it could be. The light moves near to where I'm standing and I can see a dangler-fish. Tony must have awakened it and now it's searching for a possible prey. Suddenly the dangler fish jumps against the window - I'm suddenly behind a window - from which I'm looking at it. It falls to the balcony and stops moving. Holy! Now I see another similar creature moving near the balcony under the water. It seems more than three meters long so I quickly "nope" away from the window. I say : "Man eater" to my grandparents who are sitting on a living room, referring to the scary fish outside. I leave the house.

I find myself on a parking lot on a completely different scenery. This is where my other grandparents live. But wait, it's summer. It's as summer as it gets. I turn around, I'm dreaming. I'm dreaming. I try to see if the creature would follow me to the current dream scenery from behind the apartment building, but I find it unlikely. It wouldn't fit to the plot of this dream. 500. 5.0.0 I look down to my hands and they both have the right amount of fingers. Only a slight difference to my real ones. I feel a strong urge to take off to the sky for some reason. As if the sky wanted me there as I look up. I resist the urge and I think that the dream itself might make fly even if I didn't put conscious effort into it. I look up to a nearby tall tree. I want to climb it. No. I look down to my hands again and remind myself with the three-step technique. One - Stop. I don't even consider doing the second or third part, it feels like the stop part is enough for now. I walk to a nearby road and chant quietly to myself :" A door... door.. door." I would use it to teleport. 500. I want to reach Varion. Suddenly I remember Sensei's dare. Oh right, I could destroy the moon quickly before leaving. I try to spot it in the sky, but it's nowhere to be found. I know I could see it, even though it's midday. There's not even a single cloud on the sky though, so I bet there's no moon either. Then I simply start feeling hot. Wow, how can dream heat feel this real. It's summer inside my own mind, how? I stop to feel the sensation. I start taking off my socks because my feet are sweating.

WBTB MILD

quick recap:

I see a taller blonde lady and I feel boldness and realize I'm dreaming.

Spoiler for sexual content:

She takes some convincing but we have sex. I see another more attractive girl and I approach her and have her give me a blowjob. It was very good!

I then think of my goals and remember the room 100 year bonus task. I see a door and open it and as I step in and close the door there is not much space but no matter. I say time stands still for me while time advances 100 years outside of this room. When I open the door = windy dusty barren land with "bones" of an old structure are all that remains. The bones come together in a wigwam shape. I wake. I tried not to expect anything but a few times when thinking about the task I imagined seeing a technologically futuristic scene but I got a dystopian wasteland instead.

...We go to a spot in the airport overlooking a ballroom and I see myself on stage (there's 2 of me - me on a balcony watching me on stage). I am very curvy and I am surprised how beautiful I look. My dress looks nice even though it’s inside out. It's a peachy orange color, long, with a satin texture. My hair has been curled and is thick, smooth, and shiny. I’m trying to dance but my face keeps cringing. Why? There’s not much of an audience. As I look out on the ballroom I realize I’m dreaming, for no specific reason. It’s just a tiny thought that crept on me that I could have ignored, but it grew bigger and bigger until I remembered my intention to lucid dream. I suddenly have a microphone and make an announcement. “Excuse me everyone, I’d like to announce that I am dreaming!” Everyone clapped. I remembered to stablize so I spin, it does feel like I’m spinning but I don’t like that it requires me to close my eyes and see blackness. I get concerned the dream will end, but it doesn’t. Then I got the idea to announce, “I’d like to take this opportunity to ask my subconscious if there are any issues it would like to bring up or address.” But I couldn’t finish and get all the words out, partly because the microphone kept switching backwards in my hand, cutting off my announcement. Also because a large white and black house cat tried to attack me. I attempted to make the announcement multiple times but the same things kept happenening. Finally I give up. Now I'm in the audience and more people are flooding in and dancing. I decide to get on stage and dance. I try to jump up using lucid super skills and barely make it, but I still have to crawl a bit. However, I get distracted because to my left is the inside of a walmart. A woman is pulling her children out of a sale bin. They ate chocolate and pooped in there. I’m disgusted. Another woman is telling on her, she’s like the secret walmart police society. I decide that after I dance I’m going to burn walmart down as the December TOTM, I don’t like walmart. Then it ends.

My goal for 2017 is to have 12 lucid dreams (at least once per month). I'm counting this as #1 because I made my resolutions on winter solstice, which I also celebrate as a symbolic new year. I have no idea why I became lucid, but Merry Christmas to me!
In the future, I will try other grounding and stabilizing techniques because I didn't love the spinning. I will also be sure to have more clear goals before I go to sleep.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I woke up 5 hours into my sleep and stayed up for 30 minutes, went back to sleep. Kept repeating "I will realize I'm dreaming".

At some point I notice I'm sitting in bed. I decide to do a RC. I'm dreaming. I get out of bed and walk downstairs. I go outside and stabilize by sitting on the ground and touching the grass. It is night time. There's a weird, skinny, white cat in my front yard. I decide I want to see Tonka. I look away and look back to where the cat was, and Tonka is lying there. I lie down with him and hug him. He kisses me. His fur and smell are so real. I tell him we miss him and he just wags his tail at me. There's an acoustic guitar playing in the background, it's really soothing.

I have a FA, I do a RC and stabilize. I go outside and start walking around. It's night time still. I think of making it day time using the Ocarina but decide not to afraid it might de-stabilize the dream. I grab a car and start driving somewhere, my mom is in the car and she's scared we just stole a car. I tell her it is all happening in my mind, it's ok.

The dream takes place in an apartment with some old Mount Carmel people like Jippy, Lauren M., Melissa M., etc. Additionally grandma Phelps is randomly there sitting on the same couch as me. She asks me a question but I kind of ignore it and feel really uncomfortable in general at this party. I don't really know anyone there well but decide to wait a little while to leave. One cool thing that happens is that they have a TV that revolves in the wall around with a hidden side for storing jewelry. Eventually I don't want to be there anymore and so I look for a way out. I see an elevator in the apartment and it is made out of glass. There are about 6 Chinese people in the elevator and they are all masturbating which makes me think this is a lucid dream. I perform a finger into hand reality check but it doesn't seem to work. Despite this, I know that I am lucid. I just cannot seem to gain full lucidity. I decide to take the elevator a floor up and explore around. I walk into an office of people where I don't belong and make the whole office not react by using my expectations. I walk around and then leave feeling annoyed that I know I'm lucid but cannot get the reality check to work.

I was somewhere very hot, seems like Greece, the sun was scorching, possibly noon outside.
In a hospital ward, with sick children laying in bed. One child has long straight blonde hair and a dark plain dress.
I recognise her and i'm lucid. I try using my powers to heal her. We go along the intensely bright road in the sweltering heat.
We travel in an old dark brown ford along the scrubby, tree lined road. Reaching her mothers house, who strangely enough is the same person just older but with same blonde her, but with a neat office suit on. I make out with the mother.

Spoiler for may contain nudity but not enough really:

She lays in bed on her front, with the cover off, exposing her bare legs and shapely ass (or is that other way round lol) I take her from behind
