lucid

GAMBA SEA

through visualising and a wild transition, I enter a dream scene fully conscious, lying on my back gently. It is a shopping centre type of a place with many dream characters and people walking about. It is indoors. For the the first time in a lucid dream I think of attempting to do some magic. I see some crumpled paper near the far wall. I use my hands and intention to lift them up. The papers start floating above ground. Viola !

I then perform a reality check to confirm that I am dreaming.
I go into a cafe and meet a young woman who looks Korean, and is serving there. She's wearing a red and white chequered dress uniform. I smooch her on the lips. She looks mesmerised and I can taste her bubble gum lips. Beautiful.
I walk on and meet a man, a black man who's walking with his family. I ask a young boy where we are.
He mumbles incoherently. His Dad, the black man, closely shaved head , green t shirt, about 30, lean, says.
'gamba sea.'
Where's that I ask. Earth?
Yes. He says. Because of the waters it's hard to get access to.
GAMBA SEA.
I make a mental note to research this when am back.
He then gives me a bunch of leaves, branches. A kind gesture. I can smell an almost eucalyptus smell.
I thank him and walk away.
I see a hoard of people coming upstairs. I catch the t shirt of one of the men. A red cartoon face.
I walk down the stairs and I can hear the men singing in the background
"Wise men say, only fools .... the ub40 song
I enter a small gathering where a woman is sitting with others and gets up to greet me, a beautiful smile. Black and white striped dress. She's smiling , black hair dark lipstick, fair.

I continue making my way into the tunnel below the street after exiting the snowstorm. I'm walking with a DC, and we eventually hit an end room. I make a comment that there's not a portal, and wonder what we're going to do. It suddenly hits me: I'm dreaming. I say "I'm lucid" as my awareness comes through. I tell myself that none of this even matters, and refuse to continue with the dream plot. I begin walking toward the exit. I notice I need to go to the bathroom, but continue to ignore it, and it goes away. I continue walking down the narrow tunnel with white walls, and a DC follows behind me. I try to conjure another DC by imagining one visually, but the image does not actually manifest in the dream. I continue walking and decide to try conjuring some food. I decide to create a buffalo wing for some reason, and notice it only tastes slightly like the real thing. The visual isn't very defined. My dream goals don't kick in fully, so I wonder what I want to do as I head farther down. The dream begins to fade, and I wake.

I Don't Know How To Play Guitar! (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID


I'm at a gig, having just performed, though what exactly I did escapes me. I watch a man in his 60s come on stage briefly with his guitar before going off again, presumably to fix a broken string. The crowd are cheering excitedly so I gather that he's well-known.

He comes back on, but instead of playing he goes straight into a forward flip stage dive. Watching from the stage, I wince as it looks like he slams his feet down into someone's head, though no one seems to mind. We--me and a few others onstage--watch it replayed in front of us (though not on a screen), and it definitely looks painful.

Lots of people are already crowd surfing so I decide to join in, and notice how quickly I'm passed over the crowd; it's like floating on a river. As I start to near the back of the crowd I realise I'm performing again soon and need to head back, and merely pointing towards the stage makes the crowd pull me there instantly.


I get off the stage and walk past security into the backstage area. I navigate a load of corridors and notice how incredibly ornate everything is. It's like a palace, or a temple.

I'm looking for some kind of dressing room but have no idea exactly what. I know I'm on soon, and get the feeling I'm meant to be playing guitar, but that's it. I've never played guitar in my life.

Finally I find a guy who asks me what I need and I tell him: I'm performing soon need to find a dressing room. He points to the closed door beside him. I tell him I'm supposed to be playing guitar so need to learn how. Halfway through saying this it hits me: I don't know how to play guitar--it's a dream.

I tell him, '...but it's a dream so...', and, not knowing quite what to do with this realisation, front flip magically through the closed door. I land on my back and wake up.

New Teleportation Approach (SSILD)

NON-LUCID LUCID OTHER

Some fairly boring dream stuff happens that's not worth mentioning. I am with my roommate and we are leaving a building. A large bearded guy looks familiar. We shake hands and I remember I met him earlier that day and he is friends with one of my friends. Unlikely I would run into him again so I do a nose plug RC and become lucid. I know I want to teleport to my dream guides house but this time my strategy for teleporting is different. If I teleport to the inside of the staircase I should be able to remember what it felt like because I touched the wall while I walked up it originally. I close my eyes and feel a step under my foot. I open my eyes and I am still where I was. I close my eyes again and feel the wall with my hand. I open my eyes and I am in a staircase but with the wrong kind of brick! I walk up the red brick staircase and end up on the roof of a building. I run and jump off the edge because I know the urgency will make my TP work. I imagine the feeling of the step and feel myself colide with it and the wall. I open my eyes and I am in the right staircase except there are far more windows than I remember. Little details like that shouldn't matter I think. I start to walk up the stairs but get so excited that I wake up.

I decided to sleep in because I didnt work until later. It took me a long time to fall asleep but eventually I guess I did.

Who is Androx? (SSILD)

NON-LUCID LUCID OTHER

I am sitting on a floor watching an old western drama on a CRT tv. It changes to a weird cartoon about a bank robber using a large spherical bomb to blow up the wall of a bank. I find myself inside the cartoon and the robber turns to threaten me. I run and he gets in his tiny cartoony vehicle to chase me. The vehicle is carying the bomb with him. Suddenly a cat jumps at the robber and knocks him out of the vehicle. The bomb falls off and rolls after me. I get run over by it and end up on top of it. I roll with it and the cat catches up and jumps on my shoulders. The cat can talk and tells me to stay calm. It is a ginger colored adult cat with a female voice. The bomb rolls into a river and we float on top of it along the path. It becomes more like a man made track with bumpers to keep it in. The track goes above ground and through some weird video game like dimension. I pump us up on a stream of water to a higher track.

Eventually I find myself at the edge of a pond in a forest. I see a orange salamander about a foot long in the water it swims up to me and I get scared. The orange cat is there and is joined by a black one. One of them says "Don't be scared, its not fully grown and won't try and eat you." I feel relived until suddenly a massive 6 foot long orange salamander jumps and eats the smaller one. The cats guide me out of the forest and into a suburban neighborhood. We hop fences and run through back yards. The sprinklers go off in one and I see the timer for the sprinklers and I am going to turn it off but the cats urge me to continue following them and it's just around the corner. We go into another back yard. I notice there are a bunch of alligator ranging from small to massive. We even walked past biting range of some of them before I noticed. I ask what the heck and the orange one says it's for protection and that we should be safe. The black one says, "He is just a beginner though." They both run up to the largest one for some reason while I am more focused on the closer ones. I see there are a bunch on the steps leading to the back door of the house. The alligators start to approach me and I use telekinesis to float them into the pool which is surrounded by a fence. It is difficult but I remove all of the alligators. There are also two mastiffs guarding the door. I hope they don't attack me and walk past them to the door.

Once inside I see a southern style home similar to one I drew for a storyboarding class but with a kitchen attached to the living room. There are two white cats sleeping in the floor. One is an adult and looks like my own cat actually. The other is a kitten and looks like Androx! I become lucid and the kitten lazily looks up at me. It's large ear unfolds from behind it's paw. It sits up and stairs at me.



"Androx?" I ask. I look around to stabilize a bit and notice the other cat has walked away. After a long pause the kitten says, "Hello Matthew." with its androgynous voice. "It is Androx, right? Not Andrea? I had a hard time journaling that part." I say. "It's Androx.", says the kitten. I ask,"Are you male or female?" "Male", Androx says and looks fairly annoyed that he had to answer that. He walks over to a bowl of pet food and a water dish next to the kitchen counter. After inspecting the water he starts drinking. I kneel down to him and tell him that I need to ask him some more questions starting with what are witches and what are their relation to talking cats. Androx says,"Talking cats are witches that have transformed themselves." This confirms the theory that I had. He goes on to say, "We suspect that you and your girlfriend are ones too." I wonder if he thinks my dream guide is my girlfriend or if he is my actual girlfriend. "Do you mean (my girlfriends name)?" I ask. Before he replies Androx walks around the armchair and forces me to move around to follow him. I set in the other sofa and he jumps up onto the armrest next to me. I ask Androx,"How did you become a talking cat?" He says,"I wasn't always a witch. I used to have a family." He starts to get emotional. I find myself looking at eye level and wonder why I am not looking down at the cat. "It is hard to understand when you are little and your parents get foreclosed on." he says and starts to cry. Suddenly I see him not as a cat but a child about 11 or 12 with a red brown bowl cut. To be honest even though I know he is a boy he looks a bit like a girl somehow. The feels hit me pretty bad as I realize Androx is probably an orphan. I wake up before I can hear the rest of his story.

I think that is some pretty good progress on the witch hunting front. Now I should probably start focusing on Dream Hero League Missions so I don't get to far behind.

I havn't had time to upload any dream journals over the last week but I did have 3 or 4 dreams worth sharing so I will just have to post them now. My goal has been to talk to my dream guide or Androx the space cat and learn more about them and witches in general. My strategy was to go to my dream guide's house and talk to her practice teleporting in the process.

Witch Hunting (SSILD)

NON-LUCID LUCID OTHER

I am in my room and lucid. I get excited and jump out the window to try and find my dream guide's house. I destabilize and realize I should have just teleported. While I am in the void between dream and waking I picture my dream guide's house. It old and brick with a tower on one side of it. It is on its own on a hill with a small garden next to it.

I find myself, instead, in an old fashioned town square. I look around for people and find a theater where a play is happening. I ask some people where I can find a witch but they seems to speak italian and don't understand me. I point to my hair and say "Her hair is this color." and point at the red brick in the ground. I make a triangle shape above my head as if it was a witch's hat and one gentlemen seems to understand. He pulls out a paper scroll but won't give it to me. I grab it a punch him in the gut. He lets go of the scroll and I fly away with it. He grabs onto my leg though and gets pulled along with me. I try and knock him off but start to wake up in the process.

When I restabilize he is gone. I am flying over an island next to a larger land mass. I look at the scroll and it has military information and a map with strategic locations on it. Two of the markers say witch on the key. One is white, one is purple. I am now over a massive fortress on main land. I locate this on the map and use that to fly towards the purple marker on the map. As I fly I start to loose lucidity and my memory of my goal gets a bit more fuzzy.

I land in a village. There are peasants as well as soldiers marching in metal armor. I meet a boy who's family will let me stay with them. I learn that this land is ruled by a tyrant king. The family is part of a growing rebellion who wants to over throw the king. I agree to join them if they will help me find the witch. There is a girl who also lives with the family and is part of the rebellion. I just have a feeling she is a witch but no one else seems to notice. She looks very much like someone I knew in high school who in turn looks very much like Lust from Full Metal Alchemist. Based on facebook photos she has died her hair black, gotten piercings and a tattoo of a rams head and pentagram on her collar bone. She very well may be a witch in real life! She tries very hard to seduce me and it is very distracting and I get a bad feeling about it. She pushes me down an ally and up against the door of a random house. I point out that since we were adopted by the same family this is sort of weird. She says she wouldn't mind even if we were siblings which makes me even more weirded out. I hear the voice of a girl down the ally that says, "Leave him alone." The voice belongs to a girl with short blond hair and a dress with a voluminous skirt. She reminds me of Cersei Lanister because of her hair about 22 years old. The succubus scoffs at the girl and leaves.

Time passes and I go down the stairs of the family house to find a meeting of people. It is to organize the rebellion. The blond girl is there as well and I can't help but feel she is a witch as well and that I have met her before. The other witch comes down the stairs and apologizes for being late. She and the blond girl make mean faces at each other. The father of the family asks if I know the blond girl and she says that we do know each other well and pulls me into a hug. I whisper in here ear "I know you're a witch." to which she replies "Of course I am dumb ass." I feel like I am suppose to know who she is. In retrospect I think she is the blond witch that I have had fragments about being friends with in the past but she looks different with shorter hair. I ask her, "Can you take me to where the red haired witch who is my dream guide?" "Yes, but let's get out of this meeting first.", she whispers. She doesn't stop hugging me and I feel people staring and say, "Uh, okay, you can let me go now." I start to destabilize again.

I am in a alleyway in an old city at dusk. I am more lucid some how. There are a group of boys scouts in front of me. They aim muskets at me and the leader says to fire at me. I run at them and deflect their shots with telekinesis. Once in range, I grab the end of one of their muskets and start waking them with the stock. They scatter and I chase one of them and hit him so hard he flys into a dumpster. I fly to where I feel the blond girl sent me to learn more about my dream guide. It is the back of an apartment complex. I fly to the third floor of the metal escape ladder. The boy scouts have regrouped below and are preparing to fire. I shout, "Leave me alone!" Suddenly, a woman apparates in front of me hanging off the railing of the escape ladder. She looks a lot like Rogue from X-men Evolution in features and in style of clothing but she has a buzz cut. I notice she has white irises that look very cool. She says, "What are you up too?" The only thing I can reply are "Cool eyes." I wonder what I am up to anyways. Does this witch know my dream guide? Is she an evil witch? And I wake up.



Later that morning I have another dream about witches.

CORP (SEMI-LUCID)

NON-LUCID LUCID OTHER

I walking down the street with some friends. One of them is the blond witch from the previous dream. The other one that stands out is a girl with a over sized witch hat, purple hair, and a large black heart tattooed under her right eye. I wonder how painful that was to get. She looks like someone from work as well as the actress Debby Ryan. About 18 years old. She is writing a web comic about shared dreaming as well as a secret society of aliens who act like humans to control major corporations. Earlier parts of the dream are me reading the comic. The thing is, she actually believes it and may actually be right. The other friends think she is crazy and walk away except for the blond witch. They walk off. The blond witch and walk away in a different direction because we don't want people to learn about magic powers. The heart tattoo witch says "[INSERT BLOND WITCH'S NAME], Matthew, where are you going. I thought at least you would understand." I can't remember the blond witch's name. DANG IT The blond witch keeps walking but I turn back. I explain that even though I have dream magic too I don't believe in shared dreaming. She says," but you're a dreamer." I reply,"Yes but this is my dream and... you are a dream character." She looks hurt for a moment but then laughs and says, "Oh your just kidding!" I say, "Look, this may be your dreamworld but I came here to find answers about my dreamworld, not to help you fight this corporation. That is when I get a phone call in waking life and w


I had another frag where I think Androx sends me on a mission to go to high school with the heart tattoo girl and asses the strength of her powers. Something like that although that could be way off. The memory was very fuzzy.

I woke up naturally around 5.30 am and decided it would be a good moment to become lucid. I went to the toilet and then started performing SSILD.

Another short lucid
I'm lying in my bed in my room in the dormitory. To the left of me is my Mac. There are two guys in my room. One of them is my dormmate, the other a guy that frequently visits. They are tucking me in for bed. At first I'm ok with it, but after a while they get annoying. They keep on tucking the blanket and touching my head and generally just preventing me from falling asleep. Then it occurs to me that I might already be asleep. I attempt to push the index finger of my right hand through my left palm. It works. I should put more attention into stabilising before doing anything else. I leave my finger in my palm, wiggling it around every once in a while. At one point my eyes are closed. I'm afraid to open them, cause I'm afraid that I will open my real eyes. After a few seconds of indecision I slowly attempt to open them. I believe I can feel my real eyes opening, though I'm not sure if that's true. I'm not sure whether this was still in the dream or after, but I turned around in bed and tried to push my left index finger through my right forearm.

Motor
I'm in a city in Indonesia, riding a motorcross bike. The body is predominantly green. Behind me is my girlfriend, also driving a manual motor. I switch gears a few times, though I think not so smoothly. Across the street is a woman who is just getting on her motorcycle. It seems like she has fallen off. I cross the street to ask her in Indonesian if she is doing fine. She replies in English that she is. It surprises me slightly that she would reply in English. I focus on getting back to the other side of the street. My motor has shut off and the electric start won't turn it back on. I switch gears down 2 times. The motor changes gears quite violently. After this I believe to be in first gear and try again. It works.

I tried an extreme WBTB & I won't try it again because of the unstable environment. Also I dropped my regular pain med dosage for this which actually was okay. I set my alarm for every 45 minutes for 8 hrs. Bad idea, so don't do it. I had many dreams that started but didn't have the physical time to form them properly.

I was in a place for Psychic abilities. I was teaching lucid dreaming classes & it was really fun. I became lucid almost immediately but when I became lucid the stability was way off. I felt like if you were drunk & lost all of your balance or when you have vertigo from your inner ear being off balanced. Unfortunately I was woke up by my method & had no more time to try to stabilize the dream. Yet the dream itself felt rather long.

Non-Lucid-Green
Lucid-Red
Side Notes-Purple
Astral Projection/AP-Brown

Not sure what's with my recall lately. My sleep is quite regular. I get up at 3am, work from around 4 am- 12pm. Pass out for a nap round 3pm, then bed around 8pm. Very little recall though.

Last night, short nap, then bed around 8-9pm. Got up at 5 am.

5am - 3x300mg Alpha GPC
5:50am - 2x4mg Galantamine (new one, pure GM)
5:50 am - sofa

Woke up from lucids at 7:30

I Put a rolled up blanket next to me, so when my cat sleeps next to me, she doesnt wake me when she fidgets. Works great. I was almost asleep, when they decided to fight right on the sofa. I said screw this and turned to my left side, like last 3 times (2x I got lucid on the side like that).

***
I'm sitting on my mom's living room floor with some other people. They are watching TV, it's at night. From corner of my eye I see bathroom door close by itself. I think to myself "oh shit". I try to roll to my side and stand up, but having real hard time. I realize I'm sleeping and I decide to get lucid, because I'll be safe in a LD.

I push my head backwards, feel the excelerated free fall backwards, but I end up in darkness. Try it 2 more times. Then I realize that I have my eyemask on, so it's safe to "open" my eyes. I try that. Blackness is now different, but still dark.

I decide to jump out the window and I tell others not to worry, I'm going for a flight. I fall from first story almost to the ground where I start flying parallel to the ground. The feeling in my stomach is exhilarating. I fly over the fence between our garden and the street and I remember the TOTM I wanted to do - de-pantsing.
I see a woman carrying a child on a sidewalk, walking away from me. I figure she will do, but I don't like the child there, so it disappears.

I start talking to the woman. I turn her with her back to the wall and I notice she is older and pretty. I pull her pants down. I realize this is not how depantsing is done, but I don't care.

Spoiler for Sexual content:

As I'm kneeling in front of her, I slide my hands up her torso, pushing her top off. Her skin is very smooth and breasts are beautiful. As my tongue slides up her bold mound, I feel the slit. I spend few minutes on this, while trying to figure out, how she could return the favor. I'm thinking that this is going pretty smoothly despite this being my first time doing it in a dream or in WL.

When I'm done, I turn to look for another DC to do a proper de-pantsing this time. I walk by an older man, not really appealing. But I don't care, I yank his pants down, then his white boxer shorts. He has 6 pen0rs. All small, shaped like acorns. (Watched Ice Age cartoon witht that squirell obsessing about his acorn). Some woman says "they are small". And the dude answers "yes, but they can grow". I blow some air on them and they grow. Not sure what else I do : D but they grow some more. I'm still not impressed.

I turn to look for those 2 dudes that were walking towards us before, but they are not there anymore.

I end up in a factory yard, by some old, red brick wall. A young black stud walks by and I ask him if I can "help" him. I realize that's something he should be asking me. He walks by again and I hope he got the hint. But by now there are some protrusions coming out of the wall and I'm taking care of the business.

I was in a survivor challenge where you had to start a boat & race it but in one heat I was having trouble starting it. My opponent looked like one person but felt like another so I became lucid at this point. I turned that person into my ex-girlfriend Gail! I've never turned someone into someone else like this. I was still trying to win but I tried to cheat & have my husband start the boat ahead of time & was disqualified. But then I had a funny thought like "hey, maybe I could sell this engine on ebay!"

I fell asleep at 12am or at 11:30pm. Had a non lucid dream that was family related. Than I woke up like at 5am. Stayed up for a few minutes than went back to sleep. I was non lucid signing a paper to go into a tennis court with a boy I met. We still had some time left before classes. However, I became lucid and thought for a sec about what to do. My thoughts were immediately interrupted by some person pushing me into a fence though. I felt myself going through a portal and they tried pushing me to go in it by hitting.my butt. I was able to get around whoever it was but im not sure what happened next. After whatever happened occured I was on the bed relaxing and my younger brother came up to me showing me a kingdom of hearts birth by sleep game. Looking at a wallpaper of the game on the bed I saw Axel and thought about my dream characters. I than realized I was given another chance and was lucid. I wanted to call Eye and did, forgetting about the dhl mission. Guess I need to make it more important.But anyways when Eye came he hugged me but than ran. We were surrounded by a good amount of dream characters so I pondered if Dawn was in the crowd. I also thought about why he ran so I followed him to a room to ask him. I couldn't tell who or where he was but after calling out for him a baby spoke asking me to protect him. I picked the baby up and kept it close to me but than I woke up.

Woke up at 7am after that and tried for another lucid.It started off non lucid. I remember being inside a class that had a brown,purple and white color scheme. We were waiting for the teacher to arrive but than someone recalled that the English teacher said they were going to be absent Friday and Saturday because of a doctors appointment. We left the class feeling kind of disappointed we came to class for no reason. I stood on the balcony looking down at students fooling around and thought about how stupid one of the girl was acting. She was on the floor sitting next to a guy and looked like she was going to pull his pants off. I than walked away and as I was walking and thinking about stuff I became lucid. When I became lucid I looked around and saw the place I was in was a mesh of a dining room and school. What caught my eyes was the chandelier, the brown couches and the open windows that were bright and next to each other. I began to be pulled by something which reminded me of my old lucid dream where a character flew me somewhere. I decided to let it take me wherever it wanted to take me even though I wanted to see Dawn. But when it stopped I just kept on thinking of Dawn's presence.

Spoiler for ╚═། . ◯ o ◯ . །═╝Holy cow. Please don't read this kiss scene the dream gave me. (/- - o) *dies of embarrassment**dies again after rereading it* Anyways in short i found out you can actually be tickled in a lucid dream. ^^ Which is pretty cool.:

I felt him appearing next to me but couldn't really see him because it was bright.He than pushed me onto the couch and started kissing my neck but it sort of felt more like he was licking me. I started laughing uncontrollably. It was like someone was tickling my neck. I told him to stop but he just kept on doing it until it felt more like he was kissing it. When he stopped he turned me to look at him and said something but I couldn't hear him quite well. He than flipped me and sat me on his lap while some kids were playing a racing game.I looked at the t.v. feeling kind of surprised by what just happened.

Had a lucid dream last night through MILD method I did without any WBTB.

I was in the dream, recognized I am dreaming and said to myself: "Yeah, I am going to mark this down as a lucid dream."

I said it because sometimes I forget that I had a lucid dream. Furthermore, I lost lucidity. Anyway, I saw Upon a burning body play a new song called, "Stand Your Dreams" but that's neither here nor there.

MILD from this moment onward and hopefully I will be able to provide some tips on how to MILD effectively. The goal is to lucid dream at least 4 nights a week.

details later

Forgotten lucid
I'm certain that in the morning, perhaps around 6am, I was lucid. I only remember walking down a white surface street, while still trying to stabilise or to regain my lucidity. Other than that I don't remember what I was doing -_- I do remember waking up or having a FA and attempting to get back into it, I think with success.

Fragments
» In one of my non-lucids I was Spider-Man and swinging to a skyscraper while my friend was watching me. My webbing was weird though. It seemed more like plastic wrap.

» I'm in Indonesia I think. I've got my thesis defence, but it is quite weird. For what seems like the first few minutes, I'm talking about only semi-relevant things.

» I'm in my student city in the Netherlands. I'm with my classmates and someone is telling me something about an area slightly to the north of the city centre. I can't recall what that person was telling me though.


Cops
My friend Sander is driving a Dutch car on the highway. I'm sitting in the back to the right. I think I'm playing with my phone. There's a motorcycle cop driving in front of us and Sander decides to mess with him. He pulls up very close the whole time and flashes his lights for a long time. I can see the change in lighting on the cops motor / back. To our left is a pick up truck from Rijkswaterstaat. I ask Sander if he is sure about this, because he'll get himself into some trouble. Eventually we reach a traffic light and a diferent motorcycle cop goes against traffic to pull up next to the driver's window. The cop isn't wearing a helmet, just a yellow raincoat hoodie. Strange. He gestures for Sander to follow him.

Date
In my student city again. I'm on roller blades and I'm not very proficient at it. I'm quite unstable. There's a mom and her daughter standing somewhere. They try to draw my attention from a distance. For some reason I try to ignore them first but after a few seconds I listen. Somewhere in this dream my glasses fly off and the right leg has broken off. At the same moment I was trying to look up directions using Google Maps for the two of them. I hand my phone to the daughter while I fix my glasses. It turns out to be quite easy. Pop in a screw and it's back to normal. Though the daughter comments that it is slightly crooked. Great.

We're standing somewhere else now, somewhere with a roof but still semi outside. It's around this time that I notice the mom's dress. It's blue/green and there are holes to allow her nipples to stick out. That is... ok...? She has weird elongated nipples. I also notice for the first time that the daughter's breasts are quite big and there is some cleavage showing. I don't dare to look too much though, cause I'm afraid they'll notice me watching.

We're at the train. I actually walk inside with them and then walk out again. The daughter shouts after me that we should go on a date. I don't really have the chance to reply. Somehow I know that they are from Zwolle. That's quite far.. plus I'm not interested.. plus I've got a girlfriend. I wonder for a moment whether she put her number in my phone while she had it. How else would she expect to go on a date with me? I don't know her name though. I wonder whether I should just not text her or text her to let her know I'm not interested.

I checked into a hotel where I knew my husband had a room already. It was late and dark inside the hotel. It was closed for the night. A night clerk said they had 6 rooms left and asked me what kind I wanted. I went upstairs to let myself into my husband’s room while they were getting my room ready. Husband wasn’t in his room so I went back downstairs.

I was standing outside the hotel waiting for Mom to fly in to town. I saw a plane crash and land on it’s wing, then it tipped over upside down. I heard people screaming inside plane. I was worried my Mom was on that flight. Then I heard her screaming. I started running towards the plane and then saw that she was coming from the hotel and she was ok.

A dream I had last night, probably the longest dream I've ever been able to recall. It had several scenes that I'll try to get in the right order:

I know I was in my backyard, but I can't really remember the moments leading up to lucidity. I didn't even have to do any reality checks with this one, the thought just popped into my head Am I dreaming?" and there it was. I started to fly across my neighborhood. Houses were still there, and trees, but there was an ocean where the grass would be. I found myself not being able to fly very high, but I did dip in and out of the water as I flew across it. I remember being able to feel the cool sensation of the water on my skin very vividly. The colors were amazing; light blue, green and pink reflected off the top of the water and the rocks underneath. The song "Gifts and Curses" by Yellowcard was playing throughout that dream and remained stuck in my head when I woke up that morning.

I decided that while I still had control, I wanted to see two of my favorite characters kiss (I am a writer). The dream took me to a beach, and I found myself sitting at a small piano. The trouble was, I couldn't remember the wedding song! I kept striking random keys, thinking the dream would teach me how to play, but it didn't (lol, I guess that's not how it works). Finally, I thought screw it, I'm still going to see them kiss. The moment their lips met, I physically felt my heart skip. Seeing them smiling and enjoying each other was amazing. I'm pretty sure I was invisible in the dream, or else that might've been weird...

I was taken up to an arial view. I'm led to believe that this was a different beach than the previous scene. A hurricane materialized from the waves VERY quickly (I'm talking milliseconds here), ramming into a nearby glass building and shattering it. Several more hurricanes peeled off the water and ravaged the coast, though it didn't look like too much damage was done.

Next thing I knew I was in a car along an open road with someone I know from church, and neither of us were driving but I don't know who was driving. There was a GIANT-TASTIC tornado swirling on the grass off the road, and I remember bowing my head and praying like crazy. When I looked up, a Bible verse appeared on the tornado as it vanished into the ground.

Then, I was in a restaurant. Going by what I was going to order (a fruit cup and waffle fries), I figured I was in Chick-Fil-A or something. It was weird, because I didn't actually get to order, I realized I was actually going to be taking orders. I got to work some really cool dream finesse: my mother would not stop telling me to come with her, and there was a customer who really wanted to order a smoothie from me, so I actually put my mother on pause and then went behind the counter. While I was making the smoothie, I realized I was getting bored with that part of the dream but wanted to finish making the smoothie, so I fast-forwarded that part (or did it SUPER fast), gave the customer the smoothie, and moved on with the dream.

By now, I was feeling like I couldn't keep my eyes open (and I guess that's because I was losing lucidity). I was back in my backyard. I was thinking it would be cool to know what it's like to die. A van appeared (like the church van in The Middle, if you've seen that show), but instead of plowing into me it ran into a hill at a speed of about 2mph. I guess I made a red Jeep appear (a Wrangler, I reckon), and it's headlights were on bright and there was no driver. I think it just sat there in protest. I thought fine, never mind, and looked at the palm of my hand to try that "world-collapsing" thing again, but my vision just blurred so I figured the jig was up. I told myself to wake up, and BOOM it actually worked! At least I went out on a high note

And apologies if I don't have the lucidity stuff just right, there were some parts where though maybe I didn't have complete control of the dream, I was VERY aware of details and such. I was also able to recall extremely well for a second lucid.
