lucid

I remembered the pre-WBTB dreams as I was falling asleep at bedtime the next night! I was reviewing the dreams, and realized I didn't remember DJing them...ah HAh, those are the missing dreams! Even if they're a bit fragmented by now, I hated losing the entire first half of the night.

+ DO flying view of telephone poles covered with intertwined cable TV cables, some narrator is talking about the cables.
with a small girl (and my wife?), the girl smiles/opens her mouth showing large teeth, rectangular chicklet style, with amber/gold lookign teeth, the woman tells the girl not to pull on her teeth, they should last her a long time.

+ in a grocery store, I seem to work there, I'm flying at high speed up on top of the hanging flourescent lights and swooping down near the floor. Something about eating a tall chocolate cake.

+ outdoors in a parking lot, I'm pushing a huge cauldron of soup in a body of water.

+ inside a tall large garage. Some other guy is sitting in his car, when I walk behind it he starts the ignition. I'm thinking a bit about the dangers of being in a closed space with a working car (?). I drive a strange vehicle that is hard to drive towards the garage door, there is a guy there and there is some conversation.

@6hrs unintentional WBTB
loud truck outside again for 30 minutes idling enging
BTS interrupted by wife tossing & getting up & sighing
But made it back to sleep and had some very vivid dreams including a super clear LD.



details later

+ LUCIDD 211 LD#211 I'm moving in between rooms in a house, like one living room to another living room. I jump float/fly/glide from the entrance of the second room to the far wall where there is a low buffet cabinet, and I twist in the air to land with my butt on the top, facing now the middle of the room. I stand up on my feet and make another jump/float/glide low across the floor to where I was standing before in the first room. I'm pretty sure I'm dreaming, I do a nose pinch and get lucid. I think what I want to do. I'm in an entry room of a house, the front door is in front of me to the right, facing me, I see the door knob and the deadbolt lock. I'm thinking of going outside. Directly in front of me is a narrow, long kitchen (I'm standing on the long axis) with a woman at the far end like doing dishes at the sink. I think I want to get out of here before she turns and sees me. I remember my goal to travel to [Roger Zelazny's imaginary universe] Amber via trump card, reach into my right pocket and feel a card/plastic bag there, pull it out but before I can look at it the woman is now facing and walking towards me. It is my [deceased] mother. All thoughts of Amber or going outside are swept away, I've been wanting another visit with her for a long time. We approach each other, she looks young (40's) and in fabulous health, she's smiling, I say "you look young and great!". I hug her and start crying and tell her I miss her so much. I kiss the top of her head. I look at her and ask her, "What should I be doing?" I'm watching her face while she answers, it seems to transform and morph a bit but it remains the face of an old woman, and I realize I don't understand the words she's saying. I hug her again and realizing she's crying now along with me, and I wonder a bit at why she's doing that. Then the dream fades, a phone call has woken me. ARGH!

#1 I was back in High School (That was a very long time ago) and I was sitting out on a bench looking out over a hill soaking in the beauty of where I was, lucid, when the tiles started all popping up down the entire stretch of the outside courtyard area, one of the girls was freaking out and I told her not to worry and just to stay back against the wall, when suddenly the roof came crashing down. My heart was pounding because I told her to stay there. I ran back and pulled her out, she was so mad at me. In my dream I expected something different like a snake or something to come out from under the tile, and I was going to have to kill it. I am sure not good with dream control and my expectations never seem to be correct.

#2. I was thinking about the art gallery task last night. That seemed like an easy one! I was walking around in what looked like a castle when I went into a room and saw a bunch of naked models of both sexes in all kinds of strange positions and there were artists drawing them. I was quite embarrassed but sat down and had a beer. haha. I guess I need to go back when their art is hanging up, but that was an interesting dream for sure. For one thing I rarely go anywhere alone yet in my dreams I am usually alone.

Last night bed 9pm - 1:23am

1:23 am - 2x300 alpha GPC.
(It peaks 3 hrs after taking, so I went back to bed to sleep another hour)

2:29 - Up for WBTB
3:02 - 2x4 pure Galantamine and going to sofa

Heard my watch ding at 4 am, just when first part of my lucid was over. It continued till 4:38 when I got up immediately after it ending.

During first part I was aware of cats moving about and hearing sounds from outside.

Started to sleep on my back, then turned to my left side. Didn't get up as usually to go potty.

I fell asleep pretty fast and got lucid right away with WILD.

First part (about 30 min long) took place all outside. There were no transitions between, just one long dream.

- flying, looking at the skies, seeing stars and Orion
(I started to really look at the skies in the morning when I'm leaving to work and wondering how come Orion is already so high up in the skies, it's not even winter yet)

- losing vision in left eye, then opening it and having good vision again

- all at night or foggy, grey skies

- I tried to recall more of this first part before getting up from bed, but this is it

Second part (about 38 min long) Again, don't recall any transitions between scenes, just one long dream.

- all of it happened indoors with me looking for a way to get out, getting out for a bit then back inside

- I was in this huge older building with lots of stores, bars, caffes, lots of people like in a mall before christmas. Lots of hallways, curved , straight, round walls

- TALKING with DC - towards the end, I thought I always wanted to talk to DC, so I approached this woman with short hair in light blue sweater and asked her "Hi, how are you". She looked at me startled and said "window". We walked outside, her laughing nervously about what she said. Another woman came to us and said I can talk to her is I'm not having luck with the other one.

- It was all incredibly detailed. I said a few times throughout in a dream "Look at the details" and I was inspecting people's clothes and other things with amazement. I realized this was more clear and detailed than my other dreams that kinda fade away in the later parts.

- At one point I remembered the pull something out of pocket TOTM. Put my hands in but don't remember what I pulled out.

- I YELLED OUT
show me something interesting
show me something I should know
show me something fun

I had a feeling I should wait longer for the answer before asking another one. After one of my requests, a female came to me, looked all serious and was asking me if I really want to. She took me by my elbow and there was this tall person in long black coat/cape. Looked scare and I didn't want to have nothing to do with them anymore.

He pointed behind me. I looked and this older curly blond woman was coming. She had only her top on. They said she is gonna do a show with a pig. I was like "no thank you".

- I kept walking at fast pace. Lots of interractions with other DCs, talking, looking at stuff, stopping to do things.

- I started asking if anybody wants to do it. I figured it's better than to just grabbing the first person. Nobody responded except this one guys who said eww.
-- Some females came to me as I was standing by some counter. Asked me if I really wanted it. They didn't wait for an answer.
-- I'm outside. Guy wants to do it. His thing is so long, we have to sit on the ground, facing each other and inch closer till...
-- Another guy with flacid thing askes me if he can get into action too. I felt sorry for him so I said sure.
-- Another guy is sitting on the ground with a blanket sticking out about 2 feet. He tells me it's not his leg.
-- Some other females.
-- After 5th happy ending I thought I will lose count, but there was one more and that one was just wow.


- I asked a DC for a scooter like scuba divers have to propell them under water. I got one, aimed it at the ceiling, but it didn't pull me.

- Went up to the ceiling to morph through as I remember ophelia does. I didn't want to at first because I usually get stuck or end up somewhere not pleasant, but I was desperate to get outside. Ceiling stopped me.

- So I went throught the wall head first, while laying in mid air. I ended up in this underground cellar type of place that reminded me of the place I ended up when I went throught the wall the very first time ever.

White washed walls, all banged up, paint chipping from it. As I was floating on my back going head first, there were some weird looking people trying to catch up with me. I tried hard not to get caught. I thought they are scary. But then I thought well I always think that and sometimes it turns out to be the opposite of what I think. So I let them catch me. They took me to next room where they held some females captive. One was on a desk and some of those scary people were having fun with her. They told me if I had some pills, now would be time to take them to make it easier on myself.


Thank you, come again!

(MILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I woke up about 5 hours into my sleep and stayed up for 30 minutes. I went back to bed, lied on my back, and repeated I would become lucid in my dreams. I tried paying attention to HIs but fell asleep rather quickly.

I was in my grandma's apartment in Venezuela. I walked into the kitchen and noticed the stove was on; I turned it off. I walked towards the living room and saw the windows were open. I took a peek and looked down; there was a tiny waterfall just a few feet away from her window and I noticed a pile of ashes sitting on top of it, getting slightly washed away by the falling water. I looked inside and saw her ash urn was open. I assumed those were her ashes on the waterfall and grabbed as much of it as I could. I ran to the kitchen to wrap them on paper towel and suddenly remembered to become lucid. I walked towards the living room but it all started to fade. I thought I would have a FA but instead I was in the void.
I focused on making my dream brighter and found myself in my bedroom. I did a RC and got out of bed. I walked towards the window, phased through it and started flying. I landed across the street. It was night time and chilly; a single street lamp was illuminating the street. I became a little uneasy for some reason but told myself it was my dream. I walked around wondering if I should try to teleport or fly to Kami's Lookout. I wanted to check how real my hearing sense was during lucid dreams, as I never pay much attention to it. I spoke, it sounded loud and clear.
I decided to fly there, so I took off. I found myself flying between tall buildings and assumed it was downtown. I saw my dad shouting at me from a window, he pointed somewhere, I turned my head and saw Kami's Lookout up in the sky, Korin's tower underneath. I flew towards it but for some reason I couldn't get enough air, so I just started climbing Korin's tower. Korin wasn't there as per usual. I got on the roof and jumped towards the ladder of Kami's lookout, but woke up abruptly.
I was lying in my bed, I did a RC and I was awake indeed.

+ tahoe, water, crayfish (toe), around to back, talk more about Tahoe, crayfish (bucket means a meal), "you can't take them out because this is a national park". I see back behind me in the sun on a volleyball park my mother (old) and another woman playing old-person volleyball, but my mom does an impressive overhead smash serve. More and more old people playing volleyball. Some young people throwing net/blankets over the net and I keep trying to pull it out of the way. I enter a room there's an old many there. I go to a toilet in the corner and lift up the lid, there are drops of urine there. I notice in a room through a door right there an old woman peeking at me as I prepare to pee, I move around to put my back to her to block the view as I start to pee, I notice there's a ribbon on white along with the yellow that leaves a pattern in the bowl.

+ Outdoors, physical education teachers/coaches are laying out devices for a training session. I think it will involve running laps. I start a methodical/plodding jog, I notice I'm wearing a bright yellow college (C) sweatshirt and I think I will probably sweat alot in it. I'm running counter-clockwise on the track. There is a group of "cool" thugs/bullies who mock my running style and laugh at me. Around the far corner of the track they accost me and I push one of them aside and make to fight him. I try to keep going but they bother me again. I yell at them "are we here to do sports or do stupid things?"

+ LUCIDD 210 LD#210
I "wake" on my back in bed and suspect I'm dreaming, do a nose pinch and get lucid. I have no visuals, and it's really hard to get up out of bed. I move slowly not wanting to lose the dream. I somehow know that I am in my CH living room. I finally stand up and make an effort to open my eyes, expecting to see a Christmas tree in its traditional location in the corner. I get really hazy visuals and sort of think I see a Christmas tree there but not decorated and I move on to the dining room. I think of TOTM and recall "walk with your head" and think how I'd do that but don't think more of it. Then I remember bring a person from 200 years ago, I recall my planned person, Mark Twain, and I think I will find him behind a door somewhere. I think I should go open the front door to see him.I spent the rest of the time fading in and out of lucidity. I go out on the deck and have an amazing high-def view of the city below, so much detail that I think I can't possibly be dreaming, and if I tried to fly it wouldn't work. I keep walking around the house not really noticing where I'm going and with no particular objective except to keep doing nose pinch. It seems I can't breathe, but there is a small bit of air escaping each time. I keep doing it for a while trying to determine what the result means. Then I find myself lying on my side back in the living room and lookin at a bright orange shoe box on a bedside table. I decide that if the box moves/levitates to my mental command that I'm still dreaming, but it doesn't move. Later on there's a long non-lucid sequence involving a tiny puppy/miniature dog that my old [deceased] dog L tries to pick up and throw over the side of the deck, the puppy leaves puddles around the house and I yell at my wife for buying another dog without asking me first.

Time is about 6 hours. Work on recall. Remember the LD which I'd forgotten at first. Lots of noise, wife movements, hard to get back to sleep. I do a full-body relaxing scan starting at my feet and frequently lose my place, that's good, I'm probably close to sleep.

Collection of brief fragments over the next couple of hours. Moments very vivid and present but short, and don't recall all of them.

+ many moments, a lot forgotten

dog, then dog in car

on the playground trying with a group to get a girl to do something, I show her that the little objects are (not scary?). They are very strange little shaped things, I look at them and poke them with my finger

Making a milkshake for my son at a counter. There are odd deep ice freezers which create cylinders of ice which are used to make the shake and the freeze the milkshake contents. I have my arm deep in these freezing containers and feel how the ingredients have frozen solid. I think that we're using a lot of this ice and we may run out of it, I see that the women who work here have several cyilinders of ice pre-frozen but I think that if there are a lot of orders that they can run out. I'm asking them "is that there the place where you make the ice?".

Rambling dream
I'm standing in what I believe to be a Home Depot watching some kind of laser cutting large wooden rounds into doughnut shapes. Each round is around six or eight feet across and about a foot or two thick. They're very rough-cut, and they still have their bark on. The rounds are hanging from a track in an upright position. One at a time, the machinery moves a round in front of a laser, cuts out the center of the round, and moves it onward. Each time, the bright orange laser stabs through the round, moves in a wide circle, and lets the slightly cone-shaped center drop out. As this keeps going on, I watch more closely. Oddly, the later doesn't leave a nice clean cut - the remaining hole is just as rough as the wood itself. I turn my attention to what happens to the scrap pieces and am surprised to see that they fall then seem to dissolve. My wife is standing nearby, and I call her attention to it. After a couple more times I look more closely at what the scrap is falling onto. At first glance, it just looks like a fairly industrial metal table but, looking more closely, I realize that it's supposed to be a replica of the Last Supper: most of the table is empty, but one place setting has a plate of bread and a cup of wine. Even though this is just idolatry - we're not authorized to use religious symbols like this, nor to profane the Lord's Supper - it's clearly having an effect on the wood.

Now I'm sitting at a small table with my wife. I'm still facing the same direction, and she's sitting across from me. A chain-link fence and gate are now standing where the cutting machinery had been. The gate opens, and a police RV drives in and parks. I wonder what's going to happen. Now I see a police officer trying to handcuff a man. He surprises the man and gets one wrist into the cuffs, but the man struggles and holds his arms straight out. Another officer comes over and helps pull the man's arms together behind his back so he can be cuffed. Another young officer comes over to my table and, in a lightning move, cuffs my wife's hands to the table. He's young, friendly, and very apologetic, explaining that they need to keep witnesses to <something> around for questioning. I put my hands on the table to show I'm cooperating and won't fight, but he doesn't cuff me. Instead, on older officer comes over and starts talking to me almost as an equal and asking my opinion on things. I realize I must be the main character. I make a gaff and he assumes I'm just joking and scolds me, telling me to be serious. Now I see the female lead getting ready for a fancy gathering, wearing a fancy blue dress, and somehow I know this is important to the case.

Now I'm watching a commercial for a TV show. The guy talking is the main character, though he's addressing the audience directly, talking about what a fool he gets to be on the next episode. The camera is showing him from the waist up, and behind him is an aerial view of a tropical island in a deep blue sea. He uses a couple of strange terms to refer to himself, referencing some other silly show, but I don't know enough about it to understand the references. Now the camera passes him and starts to zoom in on the island. Eventually the perspective is from ground level. The main character is with a bunch of old guys, and they're all lining up their motorcycles in a small front yard. They've all got some piping hooked up near the backs of their motorcycles to shoot water in the air up behind them as they ride, kind of like a speed boat's rooster tails. Even though they're not riding, they've got them turned on, and they're all getting wet. The main character is looking pretty goofy and has a rather long-suffering look on his face. Now the camera cuts to a dog in the street. It's gotten all wet from the bikes, so it prances around for a while, lays down on its side, and sends a stream of urine high in the air in an arc. Everyone laughs even harder and says the dog won.

Now I'm the main character, and I'm climbing the steps to the house, heading to a party thrown in my honor by a bunch of people I only barely know. I don't really want to go, but I can't very well back out of my own party. I go through the outer door, through a small laundry room, and out into a kitchen. I see my paternal grandparents and instantly know I'm dreaming, since they've been dead for many years. I hug my grandfather, wave to my grandmother, then look at them a bit, enjoying their presence. They both look really (really) old and, though spry, also look very sickly with pale, age-spotted skin. *I decide to try to fly and focus my efforts on soaring into the air. The only thing that happens is a feeling of a slight "shift." Oh well.

Now I "wake up" and find myself in the same living room, but with all the people gone. I remember that my wife and I are house-sitting for friends, and I feel bad about how everything looks. I go hunting for paper towels, but every roll I find - in the kitchen, in the utility room, in the bathroom - has exactly one sheet left. I finally get a grocery plastic bag and a length of toilet paper and return to clean up the mess. I notice that there's a bit of water coming down from the ceiling, but I ignore it for the moment. The toilet paper is single ply stuff, so it doesn't work well, and by the time I'm done it's squashed into something the size of a marble.

Now I hear someone yelling something from the second story. Now there's something about a fish and what a struggle it was to reel it in. I look over and see a strange fish, very flat and angular (as if it were cut out of a piece of wood and painted) sitting on a small table nearby. My wife comes over and I show it to her, explaining how it got here - something about the guy upstairs. Initially, I hadn't thought it had any usable meat on it, but on second thought I think it does.


Monster in town
I'm in an unfurnished house with someone else talking about the monster that's recently invaded the town. We're trying to figure out what to do - maybe hide in a closet, or maybe barricade the doors. Now a police woman is talking to the townspeople, letting them know that the monster has been defeated but that the police have decided that all female officers must quit.

*
Fragment: I'm at a concert. Two guys are singing - The Rock and someone else - and they're having mic problems. The Rock's singing is much better than I'd expected. *

I was hanging out w/ Ellen Degeneres on a big cruise ship while she was recording a special episode of her show. (lucid)I realized I was in labor & had a baby that wasn't breathing. A group of passengers went into an auditorium type room & held vigil for the baby. It finally started breathing & I was contemplating a name. I knew I was dreaming when the father of the baby came in & it wasn't my husband about midway through the dream so I spent some time just looking around the ship & at the scene. Lucidity is curious sometimes. The auditorium was from my childhood. It was at a near by college from where I grew up. I saw a play there on a school field trip.

For the last 2 nights I have taken Huperzine A which is for cognitive support. I can tell my dreams are different & my focus on doing my jigsaw puzzles is sharper. Over the years my pain meds have messed w/ my head at times & I so far am finding this to be as some help.

My father and I were going to a poorely design supermarket to buy some food. As we head there we got thrown in jail with this other one guy for no reason. I manage to except right before the guard shut the door. I am now running and trying to find a place to catch my breath. But as I stop running I see I am in a place that looks like huge yellow and white lego peices and huge pink/red flowers around the entire area. We were still in a building but this look odd in my cases. For some reason even though I knew the guards were gaining on me and I could see there was no where to go as apart of the stairs to go down was blown off.

I just began dancing for about a couple of minutes. That's when I see my father run out and I mistaken it as the guard so I jump down from the upper deck and landed on the flower. I tried to keep my balance on it as it was split in to 6 parts. I look at them as I continue to grip. My father and now brother were watching me. I could feel myself slipping. Suddenly I could feel myself getting lucid. And an idea pop up in my head, I decided to pull the flower back as far as I can with my own weight so it can parachute me rather than trying to not fall off. It would have not work but since I knew it was a dream it did.

I flew up high and landed on another flower and continue to do the same intill I landed next to my father,brother and mother. My father began showing this natural grass landscape that appear infront of his hands. He said while changing the structure of it, that land could become something else. But I can't seem to remember what else he said after that. I could feel my dream body becoming faint. So I knew I was going to wake up now.

Supplements Taken: Lucidimine after 6 hours of sleep

1. I became immediately lucid. I looked around and everything seemed familiar, yet I had never been here before. I felt extremely self aware and the dream seemed as stable as a rock( a big rock). At the moment, I was standing on a street. The street looked newly paved as the road was a deep black with bright yellow dashed lines going down it as far as I could see. The sun seemed to just be coming up, and it indeed felt like the morning. I looked all around me. To my right was a large college by the name of "Enlightenment University". The building was enormous and was made out of some sort of white stone. To my left was a neighborhood. It was beautiful; all of the houses looked like an architectural masterpiece and it was perfectly clean. I then realized, this is the world that I always wanted to create. Knowing that, I expected a colossal futuristic city to be behind me as well as a carnival outside of the city to the left of it.
As I turned I saw exactly just that. The city was full of skyscrapers, and all of the buildings looked to be made of some material that resembled black marble/something shiny. All in all the city very well fit the requirements to be seen as a megalopolis, but even that seemed to be an understatement. My curiosity was drawn back to the university. In my head I always daydreamed to go to a college in my lucid dreams, and this was it. I don't know what I expected to learn in it, but I had an idea to go to a "Lucid Dreaming" class where I could learn to master my skills. From where I was standing, the university was a long walk away. I expected an electric powered longboard to appear on the ground to my right, and without delay it did. The board looked to be made of some sort of highly durable white plastic, and was partly translucent. The wheels were a deep black. I didn't see any electric motor on the bottom of the board, but I figured I could just use my mind to propel it.
With that I stepped onto the board and willed it to move forward at a "relatively high speed". Immediately the board starting moving and I found myself going down the long road that led to the university. The ride there took about what seemed to be 5 or so minutes, and as I enjoyed the ride I could feel the wind blowing against me quite strongly, which was odd because there was no storm nor was it cloudy. The thought then came to me, "What am I wearing?". I looked down at my clothes and saw that I was wearing my black and blue imaginary foundation shirt, gray joggers, my black vans, and my black snapback. "Damn this is a hella good outfit" I said out loud. A minute or so later I arrived at the front of the university. There were no cars in front as the parking lot was at the back of the university. As I got off my board, picked it up, and started walking towards the entrance, I once more looked at the name of the university. The word "Enlightenment" was a vibrant neon yellow color, and the word "University" was an electric-looking white.
It then occurred to me that I should try out my dream stabilization technique given to me from my last lucid dream: music. I pulled out my phone and went onto soundcloud. I then looked for my "Chill" playlist, and to my surprise it was there, but it looked slightly different. I scrolled down the playlist, and though I didn't recognize many of the songs, I recognized one, "Make Believe" by Electus. Without my headphones plugged in, I pressed on the song and it began to play. Oddly enough, the music did not play from my phone, but instead played throughout the entire dream world it seemed. The song itself was at a perfect volume to the point where it wasn't too loud, and it sounded very ambient. I remained still for a moment, just taking in the beautiful sound of the music. "This is really happening" I thought.
I started walking up the small set of stairs in front of me and arrived at the doors. Immediately the doors slid open and a cool breeze once more hit me. As I walked inside I looked around. For the most part, the majority of the floor was made of dark black carpet, and the walls were solid white in color with paintings here and there. In the middle of this entrance area that I was standing in, there was a part of the floor that was not carpet, but instead a glossy blue tile that made the shape of a triangle. Above this triangle there was some sort of blue light/energy that floated all the way to the ceiling some 30 feet above me. Looking beyond this I saw a large staircase to my left that went up 7 floors high. Suddenly I hear footsteps to my right, and they seem to be approaching me. As I look over I see a woman that appears to be in her 30s. She has jet black hair that is shoulder length and is wearing a matching black dress as well as black heels. A name tag sat on the left side of her chest with the name "Cheryl" on it.
"We've been expecting you Cory" she says as she walks up to me. At this point I realize that this woman is taller than me. She seems to be about 6' 3", but then I remembered she is wearing heels. I am puzzled by her statement. "How have I been expected? Who is "we"? How the hell does she know my name?" I think to myself. "I see that you are an aspiring oneironaut" she says as she looks at the tattoo I have on my left arm(the tattoo says "Are you dreaming?" in a futuristic font). "Uh, that's right haha" I reply, "So what is this place and why have I been expected?" I ask. "As you may have seen outside, this is Enlightenment University, a place were students come to learn things that are generally perceived as "far-fetched" and "mystical" in your society. As for why you are here, that is beyond me. Students somehow find this place with no intention of doing so. The only thing I know is that all students here have some desire to learn great things and grow in every way possible. We also know a few days prior when a student will be coming and what their interests are and what areas they seek to grow in. From that point we then select the classes we think fit them best and, if they choose, they start taking those classes." she tells me.
At this point, I am left in shock. The moment of brief silence that had been had was interrupted as a bell rang throughout the entire university. Students then start pouring out of classes and I assume are going to their next class. As I scan through all the people I notice that they are of all different age groups and ethnicity. "You better get going, you wouldn't want to be late to orientation." Cheryl says as she hands me a piece of paper. I look at the paper and see that it is my schedule. On my schedule there are 3 classes: ORIENT 2401, ONIERO 5703(or 5793?), and MIND PREP 0601. I have no idea where to go as I have no idea where these classes are, but nonetheless I start making my way up the stairs. "Remember to maintain awareness" I reminded myself while doing so. As I get to the 2nd floor I see a directory of the entire university. Walking up to it I see that there are indeed 7 floors and there are many sets of numbers that tell where each area of classes are. Looking back and forth from my schedule and the directory, I find that the second number in each of my classes represents the floor that the class is on. "So this means, ORIENT is on the 2nd floor, ONIERO is on the 5th, and MIND PREP is on the 6th floor" I say out loud.
The bell suddenly rings and I realize that I am late for my first class. I walk around the 2nd floor through what seems to be an endless maze of hallways. Eventually, I somehow find my first class through reading guidance signs on the walls of each hallway. The door to this class is open to my surprise and I walk in. A man that appears to be in his mid-40's is standing at the front of the class and I assume him to be the professor. "Welcome, take a seat" he says. It is completely quiet at the moment and I struggle to find a seat because the class is almost completely full(Btw this classroom has 10 rows of desks). Seconds later I find a seat near the back of the class and I go to it, but my heart starts racing. In the seat to the direct left of me is A, and I am once again puzzled. I control myself and relax while the professor begins to speak, but questions are racing through my mind. "In case you wondering if you were in the right class or not, this is Orientation 2401 and I am professor Gilche. We're going to start off by introducing ourselves to each other. Have at it." he says.
Immediately everyone starts introducing themselves to the people around them but I stay rather quiet, still thinking of how A is in this class. Seconds later I decide to "introduce" myself to A. As I turn to my left I see that she is already looking at me. "Hey I'm Cory" I say. "Hey I'm A"(obviously not her full name, keeping it one letter for privacy). We shake hands and I can't help but notice how warm and soft to the touch hers are. "I feel like I know you, but I'm not sure" she tells me. At this point I am already lost in my daydreams just from looking into her eyes. I come back to the present moment, "Yeah me too, but I have no idea how" I say(but I'm just going along with her, I obviously know how I know her lol). "So what classes are on your schedule?" she asks. I proceed to tell her my schedule and she tells me hers. She has 3 classes as well, those three being: ORIENT 2401, SELF, and ART, but I don't remember the numbers for those classes.
Suddenly I find myself destabilizing and my vision is fading, but so many emotions are running through me that I can't seem to stabilize and in turn I wake up and my heart is pounding.

Note: Memory was extremely good as I could remember entire conversations, stabilization needs more work as well as emotional control. Couldn't go back to sleep.

Another Lucid Dream!

What a feeling. I actually forgot until I started typing this. I was with Chris and a few other friends, and we moved into an apartment in a new city. The city was super advanced and reminded me of New Mambasa from the Halo Series. Next door to us was a groupd of murderous bikers. At first I gave them free moonshine and got them on our side, but when I realized it was a dream I fully stopped time. I looked around my friends and yelled

"holy shit guys we are in a dream. Look around you, this is a real lucid dream. This is it, I broke us through"

I was definitely lucid, but I don't recall trying to grab control. As with my last few lucid experiences, I mainly sat in awe of the realism before returning to the dream state.

I killed those bikers, and then went on to join a movie crew. The film was an incredibly indie love story and Brad Pitt was in it with us. At some point a horde of girls saw us shooting but I didn't go up to them, instead I went kind of near them and never saw them again. Brad's performance was nothing short of incredible, and when we finished shooting he just seemed to humble about the whole thing. Suddenly, when he was talking to the lead actress (who was a complete newbie), He slowly released a tendril from his mouth, that looked like a long strip of bacon, made of sand. It entered her mouth and completely brain washed her, taking her over to the other side.

I ended the dream at this point, to avoid brainwashing of my own.

Managed to get a short DILD and WILD. There were various other dreams, at least two before the first awakening and a few others between the LDs, but I've only fragments or forgotten much of these now

Scrap Group 1
An attractive older woman is hit on by a young guy, the latter flirting and teasing her on her age. The woman plays along.

Watching some Mortal Kombat story mode clip on TV. Kung Jin allies himself with an odd figure, a skinless, limp humanoid whom moved around solely by two spears impaled on his torso. Despite his macabre appearances, said creature was actually quite noble and heroic. They fight off some Tarkatans on a large junk. My brother, Dirk, arrives and watches with interest.

Dream 1 - Giant Parrot Harpy

The visuals were blurred. I was playing a top down 16-bit game set in a high tech metal base.

Reach a room with two Bloodtear Alchemists from Duelyst. Annoyingly, they zoned expertly to hurl fireballs at me, though I managed to take them down unscathed. On crossing a metal door, I cleared the stage, cued to the sound of a like jingle from the first Mega Man.

Unknown cut. I gain first person perspective. Just ending a boss fight with a gigantic parrot, its feathers bright green and pink. It was all but KO'd. I stood triumphantly on its head. Only needed to force feed it a huge grey jewel to win. The absurdity of my punching a crate-sized gem down a giant bird's throat made me realize the dream. Oh well, I went through with it anyway.

With that done, the creature began transforming. I hoped it would change into a pretty lady. In the end, it turned into a harpy of equally vast size, along with like colored wild hair and feathers. But her face was pleasant enough. Anyway, I climbed between her wooly hair, and ordered we depart.

The dream collapsed and ended as she took flight.

Obstinately waited for another dream. Between catching myself drifting on and off from sleep, I managed a WILD within about twenty minutes.

Dream 2 - Hair Legs

A whirling sensation marked the start of a WILD. I concentrated on my breaths for a few minutes before starting.

Noticed I had trouble moving, and couldn't open my eyes, though I could at least roll around with some effort. I tried plummeting off my bed, but floated back against my will. Repeat half a dozen more times. I do a breath test, which seems to not work, but finding that I didn't wake up reassured me enough, and even granted me full mobility.

Still couldn't open my eyes. I remembered a suggestion of just looking through the lids, and, with surprising ease, managed to do as much. Things were still kinda blurry, though bright sunlight provided great lighting. After a few paces, I shrunk myself for the fun of it, reducing myself to just about 1ft in height. I wanted to see myself in the mirror, but was too small to see that above the dresser.

Just remembered the "walk with your head" task. Wait, so am I supposed to walk "using" my head, or walk around while carrying my (presumably detached) head? I settled on the former and hoped for the best. So, I started by attempting a handstand. Couldn't manage it, so I just layed on my back. Tried sliding around with my head, though it just felt as if I were floating backwards. With some concentration, I eventually noticed my hair actually formed into a pair of legs. Heh, what? Moved around back and forth on these flimsy new limbs for a minute or so before the dream collapsed.

Last night bed 9:50 pm - 4:45 am

4:45 am 2x300 alpha GPC
5:09 am 2x4 pure galantamine
5:09 sofa

About 30-40 min long event.

Got up to potty at 5:56. Somehow I got used to doing it this way. To get up when I'm on the verge of falling asleep and almost starting to feel some sensations.

Fell asleep almost immediately afterwards. Barely had time to notice my head getting "lucidy".

I finally remember how it started. I'm in a dream, waiting to "get lucid" when I realize I can just get up and walk away so I do so. I get out the door while noticing the detail and colors. I think it's my childhood home.

I spent the wholetime looking for and getting me some. At some point I said "oh I better do the totm". I remembered it has to be both hands. My right one went in my pocket while left one got stuck a bit on the top of the pocket. I reached in and pulled out two ends to the string thing that my pants have. Kinda like a tie. My right hand also pulled out small crumbed piece of paper. I realized I have my black pants on and I thought that's about right.

I spent a large chunk of the dream in dark trying to make it bright with some success. But unfortunately I do that in almost every dream.

Meditation is helping me to have better lucid dreams from what I can tell, at the very least longer and with more recall. It's not removing the weird factor of my dreams, but I think they're better with that left in.

I saw an alternate world map at some point. I might have to draw it I don't remember everything from it but here were the basics.

-There was a huge circular impact crater ocean filling up most of the southeastern united states and the Caribbean. The US was divided along the middle. Apparently the civil war never ended. There was only one island in the middle of the crater labeled 'puerto rico'

-There was another landmass to the southwest of Australia, about the same size but a little bit more long and skinny. It was its own country and became important in the upcoming dreams. I forgot what it was called so I'll just call it Bobland.

-All of the korean peninsula was labeled 'North Korea'. The Japanese Archipelago was labeled 'Regular Korea'.

-Russia was divided up into three countries labeled 'Soul Eater' (to the west) 'Potato' (in the middle) and 'Amethyst' (in the east.) The country of Potato was colored brown on the map and shaped like a potato. It was known to be an agricultural breadbasket for this alternate world.

-There were six or seven islands running between the tip of brazil and west Africa. Each one was its own country.

I got to go for a walk on a nature trail in Bobland. Apparently most of the flora and fauna were similar to those in north America but there were some animals from other continents that had gone extinct everywhere else but here. Bobland was a very environmental nation. They only had one major city in the entire nation, on the southern edge in a big bay. Supposedly the city was still polluted due to being very industrial but all of the pollution was contained in a small quarter of the country. This industrial powerhouse gave them the power to preserve the rest of the country.

I remember seeing on my nature walk they had two of these houses, they looked oriental, but they were up on stilts above clearings in the woods, and you had to climb high ladders to get into them. They were meant as lookouts for the park rangers There were also these animals called [something] kissers. They looked like little cat-sized kangaroos with anteater snouts and were red and white. They were really smart and used simple tools and if they came up to you and kissed you it was supposed to be good luck. I remember three or four of them followed on my hike on the nature trail and before I went back to my car to drive to the airport and fly back home they all kissed me with their little snouts.

I was doing work for this political campaigner guy who was apparently secretly responsible for deciding who won the election; Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. Apparently everything these people did and every speech they made etc was all a very elaborate setup to do psychological experiments on the people of the united states.

He had this big hill in the backyard of his mansion that felt like it was my house in my neighborhood but it was bigger and made out of dark red bricks and had a black roof and all of these archways incorporated into the architecture. In his backyard he had this hill, well it wasn't really a 'hill'. It was like a stone wall on one side and on the other a grassy slope at an absurd incline (70-80 degree incline) but was flat a little bit on top. He planted two different types of grass on the hill to make the lighter color of grass with a five-pointed star on it. Apparently even though this whole experiment thing and his job were supposed to be a closely secret, he liked to advertise that he was an important part of the american government by having this huge beautiful landscape billboard thing in his backyard. *confused jackie chan face goes here*

And I had to mow it. Gravity distorted in a way that when you walked up/down the hill, it was like walking on flat ground. But mowing it was hard work due to the sheer size of it (3-5 stories high and about as wide). Also I had to mow it in a very particular way as to only mow all of the grass inside of the star first, then move on to mow all the grass outside. When I had finished, (Dream time took care of most of the mowing) I went to put the mower back, and looked back to where the hill just was and this caused me to become semi lucid. For some reason I was thinking that I had to find a mountain first. (Maybe related to the disappearing hill, IDK) Internal logic and low level lucidity dictated that the easiest way to get to a mountain would be to fly to another planet with one. For whatever reason, I felt as though if I tried to find a mountain on earth, I felt like the dream would destabilize.

I flew up into the air on yer standard issue flying jets, effortlessly and started flying through the clouds. I got some great sensations of flying, wind in my hair, cool, wet clouds, and good visuals. Then I saw two Jet Fighters and one of them said in a bull horn like police to stop flying because I was supposed to go mow that guy's lawn again. But I disregarded them because I knew it was a dream and they shot a missile at me. I remember I caught it and when I did I was surprised at how small and simplistic it was. It was about the size of a baseball bat and seemed to be made out of plastic. I threw it back and blew up one of the planes.

I saw a huge white door (like the door of a house or a room) in the side of a cloud with a golden handle. I thought that it was a door to heaven and I said out loud to myself that I thought the dream was going to start having religious symbolism in it. I remember I had to flip around and fly the other way to get away from the fighter jets. When I came out the other end, I was in an office on a dock in an industrial shipyard. I jumped out the window and looked around. I recognized that this was the main city of Bobland. There was a huge harbor with lots of large industrial buildings, and big cranes loading up freight ships. In the distance, across the bay, I could see a very modern-looking skyline. I remember the industrial complex was between the mountains and the sea and built up onto the mountains with various mines and the likes on them. There were shipping docks and cranes up there and flying container ships with big wings sticking out of the bottom. Past that the industrial gave way to a few lower-class homes and eventually untamed wilderness and very tall snowcapped mountains.

I was still obsessed with getting to a mountain. So I jumped out the window of the office and started running with super speed at an angle across the bay straight to the biggest mountain. The jet fighters from before showed up, only I think there were more of them. I somehow knew they had tracked me but I didn't want to waste my time in the lucid fighting them. I jumped into flying because it was faster than running and went supersonic, still flying just a few feet above the water. The thing that I remember was they shot machine guns at me and one the bullets went through my right forearm. It just made like a half-inch wide hole and the inside of my arm was just made of like pink Bologna and there was no blood, but it still hurt a little. I remember thinking to myself that these guys shouldn't be chasing me to the other side of the planet.

Then what I assumed were the Bobland jets came. And there were A LOT of them. (Like 50sh) The country had these very futuristic jets with forward swept wings that had big turbines in them, and they shot blue laser beams rather than bullets. Supposedly they had been attacked by aliens in the past and fought them off but taken their technology to make their military very strong. (I remember an alien invasion was actually very important to the overarching plot of last nights dreams, probably explaining the alternate earth.) They were trying to shoot down the american jets but they could hit me too because of the way the chase was going, so I turned directions and went straight up. I was flying up twoards one of the flying cargo ships that had little turrets on the bottom started shooting with machine guns to try to kill the american planes. I said something like "Gosh, I just cant get out of the way." I tried to get out of the way and the american planes shot missiles at the flying cargo ship. (Though I think they were meant for me.) When they hit all of the cargo containers started falling off. I flew through them but they destroyed the american planes as they fell.

I kept flying to the mountain. I didnt seem to be flying very fast or even able to get very high. It sort of felt like I was tired from flying. I don't know if it was because of all that action and maneuvering in the air or the fact that I was becoming aware that the dream was ending soon or what. But I eventually had to drop out of flying and start running with super speed to get to the mountain. I ran through a big quarry area that looked rather interesting but I ignored it. I ran down a long dirt road that led up the mountainside.

I stopped about halfway up when I saw piglets running in the road. I remember they had two sets of front legs but the back set was too short to touch the ground. Both sets of front legs were bright red and lacked fuzz. When I stopped all the pigs started running away from me. They were apparently a product of genetic engineering and radiation poisoning. It was funny how they moved as squealed and ran away from me and I was thinking they were kind of cute. I wondered why they were here and could never think of any other time that I had dreamed of pigs.

Manei jumped out from behind a dead tree and killed one with some kind of small axe or mace. I asked her why she did it. She held out a sandwich in a bag from a Subway and, sounding very angry, complained to me that they refused to give her both "Pig Meat" and "Fish Meat" on her sandwich and would only let her have one or the other. I told her that in waking life, we call 'pig meat' pork, and 'fish meat' is just fish. This incident with the sandwich was somehow supposed to be a more mundane everyday allegory for the epic adventure I had just had, but even now I have no idea how. I wanted to ask her about meditation but when I tried to speak, the only word that would come out of my mouth was 'mountain'. The dream went to black and I woke up.

(After a short awakening)

I was in a movie theatre with Maka and Soul from soul eater. (Only they looked like real people, not anime characters.) We sat down to watch a movie but Asura (from Soul Eater) gave a short speech first. Then this big judge guy with a powdered wig talked for a little bit.

Then the movie started. It was some kind of 2D animated science fiction movie that reminded me of Titan AE. The main character was a high school girl who went to a space high school with aliens. There was a human boy that she liked but the boy didn't seem to like her back . Soul complained that the movie was boring because it spent all the time developing the girl's crush on a boy rather than showing the cool science fiction stuff. Someone in the front row threw an orange cat (yes, a living cat, like one that you would keep as a pet.) at the screen and stopped the movie. The cat then attacked the judge guy and pulled his wig off.

After a long dry spell, I went back to what worked in the first place - meditation; particularly with a focus on absolute presence, calmness, and clarity of the mind. I did this before I went to sleep at night and had a lucid dream this morning about visiting a neighbor's house.

I feel like the crux of my meditation is a focus on, "I am". There is nothing more present than that statement. It's not a mantra I repeat 10,000 times, I am just simply aware of my self and my breathing in the moment without being distracted by other thoughts because nothing else matters in that moment except that, "I am". Looking forward to more success via meditation.

Of course dream journaling is important too. I am becoming more diligent in writing down my dreams every single time I wake up.

I go there and notice cans of beer, and other drinks, I take one thinking it's beer but it's dark, sweet, and I think it's coke. I sit on the other end of the table from him and suddenly a commercial break starts up, an animation of a peanut butter jar appears in the air spinning around with music and a bunch of young Japanese advertising girls appear and I think this is hilarious and pretend to be the announcer caling out "Jiff peanut butter! <etc.>". Then there's a small saucer of peanut butter in front of me and I'm trying to eat a piece but the chunk I'm trying to take is stuck via a strand to the chunk still on the saucer, I'm laughing and hurrying it's all hilarious and there's a guy sitting across from me and I'm shoving the peanut butter to him to eat and it spills and there's a huge stain on the table all the while the nice Japanese advertising girls are trying to help us eat it.
