lucid

D1: Nice vivid non-lucid- My aunt Jill, (who is 17 days older than me in real life) are living in this dorm like setting participating in a "Big Brother Dorm Edition" so there were camera's everywhere. Apparently I had missed a season on the show like it was a 4 part season but I had missed the last one for some reason & she wasn't happy w/ me about it but I'm not sure why I missed it. We were arguing about this right before a live competition while we were watching the first team go. They were in this Derby looking car & were being twisted & turned at a fast speed along electrical lines which looked really sketchy & being flung around with jerky motion. Someone got hurt somehow but it wasn't clear how or why... (Became lucid) I was still arguing with Jill about treating me like shit & she was defensive. I walked away & started practicing with Derrick Levasseur who was the winner of "Big Brother 16". Meesha woke me up while I was back arguing w/ Jill which sucked because I was lucid by this time trying to talk to her about real life issues. I woke up feeling like I wanted to talk to her but decided against it cuz it's a lost cause due to the fact that my grandmother "Crazy Daisy" lives w/ her which I don't like & Jill acted like a bitch the last time she was at my house about 10 yrs ago. At the time there was nothing wrong with my house but it was just modestly small. She took her baby outside in her van to change it like my bed wasn't good enough for her. It was so boldly rude. My house was clean & there was absolutely no reason for this. It makes my blood boil when ppl are like that, let alone family. In my opinion she can just go fuck herself.

D2: I was at some audition like I was some aspiring actress. Everything was funny about this. It was running lines & acting certain ways. Like some really fucked up version of "I Love Lucy" because it wasn't wholesome & the people were represented as intelligent but comedic. I was lying my ass off about my credentials & this woman there new it so she pulled me aside & told me I was going places but not as actress. She said she thought I could easily be a script writer. I was beginning to become lucid when Meesha woke me up but it was just too late.

Lots of syncs corresponding to something in my dream, so I don't know whether it also symbolises something else, probably

D1 - I am at my parents house all is dark, its a wintry morning. I'm wearing a quilted jacket and am in their kitchen then locking up before I go out. I am scared of something unseen a presence/feeling. I double back and check they are a sleep. They're door is closed signifiying they are still a sleep.
I take a small steel key to lock the back door, I feel the cold of the key against my fingers and fiddle with the lock, checking and re-checking. This action is slowly waking me up in the dream. As I feel vague stirrings of my consciousness, as if a mist is lifting or becoming less foggy headed.
Outside the ground is frozen with a light snow. In the distance I can see children surrounding two cats that appear to be fighting.
I preceive that the childtren are in some way encouraging or in some way to blame for the fighting.
The cats are jumping into the air as they fly at each other.
Two of the children walk in my direction, I am scared and angry at the same time.
I finally realise it is a dream, and say to myself are i'm dreaming. I wonder what to do and can think of nothing except to release my pent up emotion by kicking one of the children up the butt.
The other child has a funny blue and white, thick woolen jumper and matching woolley hat. He has long fair hair and looks on bemusedly.
I remember that I need to stabalise and rub my hands frantically together but then I wake up.

[Comment]
The action of touching the key in the dream clearly triggered my surfacing from the normal dream state.

D2 - Long dream where I am working with another teacher in a large lecture threatre, preparing stuff for later. I am interrupted by a manager who askes where a painting has gone missing. I pretend to look for it, in the hope she'll go away.
Similarly, I try and escape from an office later on some pretext or other in the hope of not being found out.

I'm trying to collect items to bring to a fund raiser, and a woman with blonde hair approaches and tell me about a family at the school that is going through a tough time and may need some assistance. I try to be polite as I listen and multi-task. I turn back to the conference table a group of people are at, and the woman's hair transforms. I approach the double doors, and realize I'm dreaming. I turn to the group at the table and fly toward them. I tell them we're dreaming, and continue to fly through the doors and new a new building area. There is a massive glass wall on the first floor, and a great view to a beach at sunset. The sunset is an awesome amber color, and the sand as well as water is visible. I fly up into the room, and see people arranged in small groups, laying down on the gray concrete floor and holding conversations. Some reggae music by Iration comes on over the speakers
and I'm really enjoying the scene. I fly around all the groups, but don't jump into any conversations; it feels a bit strange to. I decide to fly down to the beach and fly over to the glass. I see a group of three below me as I approach the glass, and take in all the faces. The dream gets a bit blurry and I wake up.

I enter a restaurant and speak to the two women who are at the front desk. I need to use the bathroom, and they direct me toward the back of the restaurant. I enter one of the back rooms, and I find myself in the bathroom. I turn and face the doors, and my awareness begins to come through. I tell myself it's a dream as my hands come in front of my field vision and I phase through the doors. I think about exploring a bit, and want to come up with some new dream ideas on the spot rather than try the same goal from the previous dream. I remind myself it's a dream, and I should just enjoy and explore the environment. I look left to the set of doors which leads to a large room and realize it's probably the kitchen. I decide to check out what the chefs are cooking. I enter, but nobody is in the room. I look around to see if I can find anything interesting to try, and remind myself to stay grounded in the dream. I walk forward and see some french fries in an oil cooker, but decide to not go for these. I pick up a pile of french fries on a paper towel to the right of the oil, and continue exploring the kitchen area. I take a few bites of the fries, and the taste is pretty good, but not quite like real life.There are many metal tables throughout, and several metallic freezers in the area to my right. I check out one of the fridges, but as I open it the dream fades and I wake up.

7.02.16

After few days without recall, I had another day off and a chance to morning nap for a WILD.

Took a nap yesterday afternoon, then bed 12:30am-7:30am.

2x300mgs Alpha GPC 7:30am
2x4mgs Galantamine 8:30am

Sofa 8:30 am - woke up at 12pm.

Sleep mask, my pillows at little less steep incline so I was more laying down than normally. Normally I'm more sitting up. But didn't wan't to be disturbed with my mouth opening, I thought being more in laying position will help with that. I think it did.

I heard my watch chime at 9 am. I was still not asleep, but was getting some images and this incredible green-yellow ocean with purple-black waves rolling over it. I get this yellow-green thing sometimes and it never ends in a lucid. So I tried not to focus on it, rather wanted to see the infinite 3D blackness behind my eyelids. I kept feeling as if I was in sensory deprivation tank. My body was so light, but when I thought about it, I did feel some contact points with my sofa. But I still felt almost floating and being disconnected from physical body. It was very pleasant.

I finally turned to my left side, remembering how last time this turned into a lucid. As I did, I started getting some geometric HH that were blinking very fast. They were all on white field. I used to get this long time ago, this illumination as if from the backside.

Started feeling my head buzzing in the top back part and somehoe I entered a WILD.

I don't remember any transitions between different scenarios. All mostly just one long event, lasting about 45 min.

1. Tried the June TOTM again. I pulled some what looked like cat hair out of my butt. Second try was even more hair, then some dried up p**p. Not very imaginative, haha.

2. Was flying up higher and higher, thyrng not to think about how hard it is. Wanted to hitch a ride on some industrial containers that looked like luggage containers for airplanes. They were hanging on a rope being pulled on another horizontal rope. When I got closer, I heard some dangerous, large machinery sounds and I had no idea which tunnel the containers will come out of. I didn't want to get slammed by them so I left.

3. I wanted to get laid so was looking for someone. Didn't see anybody, so I remembered how I used to climax from climbing on poles. I found me one of those and I climbed and climbed...

4. There was more activity similar to the main theme, but don't remember any more details. I know I had some non lucids after this.

This was one of the most interesting and incredible dreams of my life.

The city of Purgatory. Run by the jews, inhabited by those who are too fearful or decidedly unprepared to pass into the afterlife, a strange and beautiful place has been built up in what was supposed to be a brief waiting room before one goes on the final journey.

Wow I'm pretty amazed because the least expected thing happened to me last night. I had two lucid dreams last night! I wasn't even expecting one! I'm so happy lol So let me tell you what happened in both of my dreams last night. The first one is bit long and confusing. Hopefully you don't get bored while reading it. (I'll explain why I wasn't expecting an LD later on)

First LD: I was at school, in my first period class, non lucid at all. I had an assignment on my desk like everyone else did so I completed it and turned it in. Before I went back to my desk, I did a reality check! I don't even know why though! Nothing weird was happening! The reality check I did was pinching my nose and breathing through it and it worked and I became lucid. I yelled at the other students that I'm dreaming, sort of rubbing it in their faces lol. So I walked out of the class room, into the hallway. (I should tell you now that my first period class is on the third floor of it's respective building) So started running down the hallway, and I jumped out the window hoping that I would fly. Although I didn't fly, I sort of floated down to the ground. While floating down I did a flip. Then I got the idea of trying to run at the speed of light. I guess I just sort of started running like normal, then I imagined myself getting lighter and lighter and it worked. I started running really fast around the school. I stopped running when I got to the old cafeteria. (There's two cafeterias at my school. The old one, and the new one.) I just sort of stood there watching people get their lunches. I wanted to see if something interesting would happen if I did nothing but it was totally normal. Then i went upstairs in the bell tower. (theres a building at my school called the bell tower and it's connected to the old cafeteria. bare with me lol) So on the second floor of the bell tower, There isn't really any walls. Just columns to hold the ceiling up, so you're able to see outside. So when I got to the second floor, I remember what Saizaphod told me about shooting lasers in lucid dreams, so I tried to shoot one by extending my arm and trying to imagine a laser coming out of my hand. Although it didn't work. I tried a second time but still nothing. So I just gave up on doing that, and realized that I should continue doing reality checks to keep the dream stabilized. So I breathed through my nose while pinching it again. Then I got the idea of trying to change the colors of objects. I heard it was a type of reality check but I thought it would be cool to do just for fun. So I saw three palm trees in the distance. One was green, and the other two were red. So I wanted to see if I could make the two red trees green. I just looked away and imagined that the two red trees turned green. When I looked back, I saw that they both went from red to green. So now I was looking at three green palm trees in the distance! So now I ran at the speed of light again back to the building where I jumped out of. I walked towards the bell tower again. Nothing crazy. Just simply walking. I wanted to see if anything interesting would happen. As I'm walking, I saw that it slowly turned into night time, and there were three kids walking behind me talking amongst themselves. I made it just outside the bell tower, but it was night time now. So I yelled "brighten" to the sky in hopes that it would turn to day time again. It didn't work and the three kids behind me asked me why I was yelling that. I turned around and told them that I was trying to make it day time. Then they started to laugh at me like I was an idiot. Getting annoyed by them, I walked up to the door the door of the bell tower, walked in, and shut it behind me, and told the dream to lock the door so these three kids won't come in. But that didn't work either. The three kids just walked right on in. At this point I wondered if I really was in a dream or not, so I pinched my nose and breathed through it again, and it worked. So I knew I was in a dream, but I was loosing control. In the bell tower, these three kids walked through another door and closed it behind them. I remember that I could change the dream scene by imagining another place and opening a door. I wanted to get away from these kids, so I imagined a museum full of paintings and mirrors. I wanted to see if I could hop into a painting or a mirror. So I opened the door, and it worked. I walked into a museum with mirrors and paintings all on the walls. However the three kids were in there joking and laughing. Now I was feeling discouraged. I didn't want to make myself look like an idiot while trying to jump into a painting in front of them, so I just walked up to different paintings and stuck my hand into them and it worked. It was pretty cool. It felt like I was putting my hand in water. I saw that my hand changed every time I dipped it into a painting to fit the style of it. Then I tried dipping my hand into a mirror. Again, it felt like I was putting my hand in water. However, my reflection did the same thing. I saw my reflections hand come out of the mirror as I put mine into the mirror. That was pretty cool. After I dipped my hand into that mirror, I saw that next to it, there was a door. It was an elevator door. I pressed the up button and I walked in and there were three men wearing suits. Then I started to loose lucidity. So the last few seconds of the dream was non lucid and we were basically standing there and waiting for the elevator to go to the next floor. Before we got to the next door, I woke up.

Sorry about the length of the first dream. And sorry if it was confusing. My school's campus is a little hard to explain lol So after I woke up, I wrote my dream down, and I fell back to sleep again, into my next lucid dream. This one is way shorter and less complex.

Second LD: I was in my neighborhood with my sister. I was non lucid at this point. We were both walking our dogs together. Then my sister hands me the leash to her dog, and runs away for some reason. I looked in the direction of where she ran to, and she was gone. But I did see this blue scooter driving past me on the road. However, there was no one driving the scooter. It was driving all by it's self. So I took both leashes into one hand, and with the other, I pinched my nose, and I tried breathing through it, and it worked. I couldn't believe I was back in another lucid dream. Although, I got so excited about being in another lucid dream, that I woke myself up by accident

So that's how both lucid dreams went last night. Now here's why I wasn't expecting any lucid dreams at all. I've gotten REALLY lazy when it comes to lucid dreaming. Recently I've only been doing about one or two reality checks a day, and I don't even write down as much details in my dream journal any more. For example, when I wake up every morning, I write down notes of what happened in the dream, then I procrastinate writing down the details all day, Then at the end of the day, I just go to bed like normal without writing down the details of the dream. So even though it's really cool that I had two lucid dreams last night, I have no idea why! I've barely put any effort into lucid dreaming recently. I didn't even try any methods last night! No MILD, WILD, WBTB, nothing. (well I did wake up from my first lucid dream then fell asleep again into another lucid dream, but I did that by accident) I simply went to bed like normal. Another thing I don't understand is that recently I've only been writing down notes of my dreams right? Shouldn't my dream recall go down? I still remember every single dream I have every night in full detail.

Anyways, those two lucid dreams were kind of a pleasant surprise! Replies would be appreciated. Also, if anyone could, please explain to me why I had two lucid dreams last night when I've put little to no effort into lucid dreaming recently lol Thanks for reading this long ass essay!

I remember I was sitting in a college class. A girl from one of my high-school classes was in the class and being annoying. I didn't know what the class was about and didn't care about it. Instead, I was playing Kerbal space program and landing on the moon. She came over to me and saw what I was doing and told me not to be playing games in class. I told her the professor wasn't there and we had no work to do so it was none of her business telling me what to do.

I remember the professor came over and said that it was good that I was doing something. He was giving a lecture on philosophy and how something could be a representation of something else, and how KSP was a representation of the Apollo moon landings.

I remember clicking to plant flag, but there was a new option for the kerbal. "Drink Space Beer". I clicked it to see what would happen and the Kerbal threw off his spacesuit and left the helmet on. I remember he had a very muscular male body but it was green since he was a kerbal. He started rolling around and got covered in moon dust. A window appears and says "Drunk kerbal has rolled around in the moon dust. This allows them to have an extra suface sample."

...

I remember that I was a really good cop/detective type guy who had been captured by a criminal. He took me into an abandoned building where he had a makeshift surgery center and all this technology. He then said that he was going to rebuild me as a cyborg that was under his control and use me to fight the other police. I remember he said that the main implant would go in my stomach and he showed me a jigsaw.

The dream cut to black, but I kept hearing my character scream, and the criminal say things. I then remembered that this wasn't a criminal cutting open my stomach and putting weird technology inside of me, but rather a movie about a criminal cutting open my stomach and putting weird technology inside of me that I was helping to film. But for that part of the movie, all I had to do was provide the screams since they got a fake dummy body with a moving mouth to do the surgery scene.

I remember when I woke up I had all of these technology and readouts like a robot. Most of them were orange and black in color. I remember the criminal had fled because he couldn't install the implant that would control my brain without killing me because he didn't know how. I was still able to control the cybernetics. I remember running a systems check of my body and confirming that all systems, both biological and mechanical were fully functional.

I remember bringing up a data catolouge with a google search bar. I could have any information at my fingertips just by thinking about it. But internet explorer was my built in browser. I downloaded chrome.

"Cool, I can rewrite my own software!"

I remember looking at some data about the planets aligning and losing that portion of the dream.

...

Someone said something about me giving them a computer mouse and they could make a copy of it.

...

I remember I was in my backyard, semi lucid. A girl in an orange dress with yellow prints of palm tree leaves approached me. She said her name was "Banana Pineapple Beach hat" or something. She asked me if she could get on my shoulders. Being the drooling semi lucid idiot that I was, I allowed her and started jumping. But I would jump much higher than normal as proper lucidity worked its way into my mind. When It did, I took off flying and carrying her. She didn't say anything.

I remember I did some flying maneuvers. I had a very good awareness of how the extra weight of the DC made me have more inertia and was able to compensate. I flew close to some houses and through some tall trees in my neighborhood, and something about Manei came up. The girl I was carrying wasn't her. No energy. I then remembered the Task of the Month, to try and fly at light speed. I couldn't do it with extra weight.

"I'm going to have to drop you off. Emphasis on the 'drop'."

She didn't respond to me. I pulled in low over a body of water (about 15 feet above it) and got ready.

"Are you ready?"

Still no response. I just dropped her anyway and took off. I turned and looked up at the sky. It was cloudy and dark. I tried to imagine myself moving towards the clouds and heard myself accelerate past the speed of sound and my flying jets turn on and spool up (I don't think they were on before.) I cleared the clouds and saw a starry night sky with the band of the milky way visible. I looked back and saw the curving horizon of the earth shrink away into the whole planet. I looked back at the stars and started screaming "like I was going super sayian" I thought at the moment.

I saw the stars begin to stretch into lines. Like when the Millennium falcon goes light speed in star wars. I saw the earth was tiny now and went away. I saw a thing that said I was going 9901c. So I guess I was going OVER NINE THOUSAND times the speed of light.

"Man, I hope I don't hit someth- why did I let that thought enter my mind?" At that moment I hit a large planet/small star. It looked like a brown dwarf gas planet. It was actually brown in color with bands glowing red on it. I remember viewing the collision from third person and unable to stop it, seeing a tiny streak hit the planet and it exploded like the death star explodes with a shock wave. I woke up rather suddenly.

Man, I need to get back in lucid dreaming shape. It was pretty much a fluke that I got lucid and remembered a task of the month. I take as a sign that I need to focus on this more.

I'm heading down the stairs in what appears to be a two story school building. As I approach the double doors on the bottom of the stairwell, I stick my hands out to open them and begin to notice the dream feel. As I transition through the doors I tell myself I'm going to become lucid, and I become aware I''m in a dream. I notice that the room extends forward, far down a hallway. I make a sharp left and glide through the left wall of this room to head outside. I continue flying low to the ground, gliding along. I notice a light green hue over the entire scene, and a two story building on either side of me. The walkway continues down for roughly 50 meters before coming to a cross walk. I get the feeling I'm in some sort of college campus. I see a female approaching wearing black clothing in the distance, and she appears to be a student. I consider some dream goals, decide I'm not going to go purely for fun, and set out to find my dream guide. I begin moving, but am having some difficulty with movement, feeling a bit encoumbered. I remind myself it's a dream and I can simply move with my mind, but there's resistance. I glide toward the rotating glass doors that the female is approaching in order to ask her for directions to my guide. I see a small light attached to the overhang she's heading under, and try to use some telekenesis to smash it down to the ground. No luck. I don't make it to her in time, yet another couple is approaching. I have an incliniation to talk to DCs in this area to ask for my guide so I continue to approach.I follow behind them through the massive rotating glass doors, and enter the atrium of a fairly large academic building. This area has many different seats with students waiting. I notice the weight of a heavy book bag, and am appreciating the length of the dream. I decide not to think about length or stability as I feel those thoughts may collapse the scene. I take the book bag off, but become really curious as to what I'm carrying in such a heavy dream bag. I begin going through the pouches, focusing a lot of tactile sense to stay stabilized. I pull out a large GPS kit, then some running shoes, and finally smell the perfectly accurate smell of black sesame oil I had with dinner (the thought crossed my mind that I actually spilled some IRL!) I begin to open a few more small compartments, but the dream quickly fades and I wake up

This dream partially overlapped with reality, as if I was in the early stages of a WILD - but I wasn't lucid. I saw a town. I recall some kind of device around my arm, and an application that reminded me of Facebook, or a dating app, telling me it suggested a nearby café for some reason. Only vague flashes remain of this bit. Then, I was in my bed (overlap with reality part starts here) and looked to my left through the open door of my bedroom. I saw a very creepy little girl dressed in red approach. I couldn't see her face. She looked a lot like Alma from the game FEAR. I was almost frozen in fear. At some point I decided I couldn't just lie there and let whatever happen, so I conquered my fear and jumped out of bed. I thought about getting one of my guns, and closing and locking the door. Sadly she was already in my room, walking by the bed to the other side. The rush of adrenaline I felt when I got out of the bed woke me up.

This dream featured gameplay of the game Fury³, a very old Microsoft game from 1995. My view was the camera of the ship. I flew around Terran, the first planet. My objective was to blow up some kind of tower. I fired on it, but it wouldn't blow up yet. I flew up, then dived down for another volley. Another target (or the same one?) also flailed to blow up. It took off (it was a big ship) and flew off. Having failed to destroy it, I expected to fail the game, but I think I got assigned a new target instead.

It started in a small room. It was a long time ago, possible early 20th century, or even late 19th century. A couple of men were showing their refrigerators (I know, random). They said it ran on 500 Watts of power. I had my refrigerator with me, a modern one (their was ancient, they were from the late 1800's after all), and said it ran on 2000 Watts. They got suspicious as mine looked way too "futuristic" to them. I was from the future, so their suspicion was justified. At some point I was apprehended by a Nazi. Gestapo, or SS. *Racism warning*. He called me a "nigger" and ordered me to come with him. I tried to reason with the creep, saying I was clearly white, but he would not listen. Some other guy, also a Nazi (except I had known this guy for longer, apparently) had to take me in. We walked through a large, crowded corridor. I begged him to look the other way for a moment so I could get away. He used to be a friend, I think. I managed to escape onto a small town square, then flee between two houses. The place looked pretty old and Mediterranean. I heard a Nazi scream something, and felt a whole horde of the bastards chasing me. I was running on the street, when I felt myself being lifted up from the ground. I started to fly. I wasn't freaked out by this, even though it was my first time (in this dream's continuity). I didn't mind, I knew they would never catch me at that speed. I wasn't very good at steering yet, and I felt I couldn't avoid hitting the houses on the other side of the street. I plunged right through the window of a café, past two people who were trying to enjoy their coffee. Despite not *really* remembering my previous flying experiences, I remembered I had always had trouble NOT flying into buildings and decided a different approach. I would *let it* happen, and see what happens. By ignoring the buildings and not worrying about what would happen, I phased right through them. I could "become solid" mid-flight and burst through walls/glass/whatever, which was cool. When I was out of the houses again, I gained altitude again and looked out over the town. I felt invincible. I wanted revenge on the Nazi's. I didn't care about their puny bullets anymore. I'd rip 'em apart with my bare hands, or use TK. I knew the school (the place I escaped from was a school, apparently) was to my left, so I tried to turn left while imagining the place to create it. I think I was lucid at this point. I probably gained lucidity at around the point I started flying. Sadly, I instantly woke up the moment I tried this.

Final flash before I called it a night: someone was doing some kind of job (on a large wall?), and I was scratching rust off of my car.

I find myself raising out of bed in the dark, and begin to notice the dream-feel. I noseplug and become lucid. I feel that the dream is very unstable, and know I need to do something quick. I float over to the window, and try to head to an outdoor area. I feel the void coming and set to make it through. I feel the outside of where the window would be and focus on the tactile sense. After a short moment, I begin humming a song to keep myself anchored while the next scene forms. I begin drumming on the surface along to humming of my song, and am starting to have fun in the void! I continue doing this for a minute or two as I continue to wait for imagery. I feel that nothing may be coming for a while, so I think back to the visualization training in sivason's course and begin visualizing a light blue background. I make my entire visual field into a light blue, and it seems to kick things into gear. I see to pastel looking birds flicker into the dream scene briefly, and make ca-caw sounds. I then ask for the dream to burst into vivid imagery. Suddenly, I find myself in an outdoor area standing in front of a two story lodge. I feel that the setting is situated in a mountainous area. It appears to be some sort of retreat center. I see a sliding glass door on the bottom level, and a wooden staircase ascending to the second story on my left. The scene is very realistic and vivid. I walk quickly up the stairs to see how moving quickly and taking in a lot of visuals would affect stability. I think back to the pages of the dream yoga course I re-read that night, and how the tactile and auditory training primes you to be able to process more stimuli. I walk up the stairs quickly and come to a glass door with a metal handle on the left. I think to myself that the handle is unnecessary and phase through. I think back to my goals and remember I wanted to find and talk to my spirit guide. I enter the massive rectangular room that extendeded far down to the right. It seems like a row of office rooms in front of me across from the entrance. Just to the right is a small staircase leading to an upper ledge area, and far down to the right looks like a rest area for younger children who visit. There appears to be a dark brown leather seat in this area for kids to sit in next to what appear to be book shelves. I consider shouting out for my spirit guide, but decide to explore and simply ask. I enter the first office room, and turn right to see a male sitting behind a desk on his computer. He is African American, in his forties with a blue button-down shirt and a short black mustache with short black hair. He stands as I approach, smiling, and I outstretch my hand for a handshake. I say "Hi, I'm Eric....do you know what the name of this place is?" I feel that it might be called 'The Spirit Lodge' for some reason, but don't want to jump to conclusions. He goes deep into thought, turns his head and says "Oh well, my name is Steve, and what I can help you out with..." and the dream quickly collapses.

I find myself looking into a mirror in my home. My face is recreated just about perfectly, yet I get a strange feeling about the situation. I begin thinking and realize 'Wait, I was just in a dream where I was helping my grandpa out with some papers, this has to be a dream'. I look into the mirror again very sharply and say, yeah this is a dream. I turn right, head out through the door way and immediately think back to a dream goal I had. I consider trying to find my spirit guide, but then think that I'll do somethink a little more fun in this one. I turn right and head down the hallway, and smile to myself about how realistic everything is. Spatiall, everything is recreated very close to perfectly. Everything is in the right place, the rooms are the correct sizes, and the layout is correct. The color is a bit dim, but the dream appears to be in the very early morning hours. It feels a bit more more like the typical OBE you hear about. I head toward the counter and see only a few things on it. I think back to a previous goal and decide I'm going to eat one of S's chocolate cakes she made me for my b-day. I head around the counter and figure it would be easier to imagine the container behind one of the recesses. I make my way around the corner and see a container with a green lid. I open it, and a piece is inside. It has a lot of moisture as though it has some extra liquid on it. I take a couple bites, and feel the energizing effect of the super intense cocoa. One of my goals was to feel the strong effect of the cocoa The taste isn't very strong, but I know it could be. I turn to the fridge to try again, and try to find some dark chocolate bars. The collapses rapidly and I find myself returning to my body.

I'm in bed next to S, and I roll over in the dark and put my arm over her. We start talking, and I get a strange feel about the situation. I do a noseplug and I'm lucid. I give her a big hug, still unable to see much in the dark. I then tell her, "Well, I have some good news and some bad news... we're dreaming... but we can still keep talking and go outside Wasn't bad news for me, but maybe for her! She agrees and I go to scoop her up in my arms and turn to fly through the window to head outside with her. As I'm turning,I say, "I have to ask you though.. why didn't you tell me that we were dreaming? She says matter-of-factly something like "You looked like you were resting...I didn't want to bother you". Fair enough I thought, and continued toward the window to head outside. The dream begins to fade rapidly and I wake.

I'm in the backseat of a car. There's a hot European guy that I know who is sitting in front on the right side of the car. He's driving, and I'm a little confused as to why he's driving from the right side. Maybe because he's from Europe? My mind goes over all the complications of driving a European-style car on American streets. There's a big, beefy guy sitting in front on the left side. I wonder if he's the bodyguard. When he shifts, I notice he also has a steering wheel on his side. Who's driving?

I woke up rather abruptly due to the sound of the cat throwing up. After cleaning up the mess, I checked the time and found that it was still way to early in the morning to be up. I went back to bed, trying to remember what I had been dreaming about before. I focused on the mental image of Hot European Guy as I drifted off.

I am on a ship (or maybe it a balcony on a cliff?), looking out over the railing. There is a long drop to the water below. The sea is a gorgeous shade of blue-green. There are all sorts of ships below me, and my eye is drawn to one that was half sailboat, half whale? The image starts fading and I know the false awakening is coming. I find myself in the kitchen of the house I just moved out of last week. Right away, I knew I could not really be there. I start heading for the door, though I find a bunch of rainbow-colored straws that are blocking my way. But I kept going, because I knew I'm not supposed to be there anymore. I make it out the door. At this point, I am almost awakened by the sound of a motorcycle revving outside. I focus on the dream imagery, and Hot European Guy appears on the street on a motorcycle. He tells me to hop on. I carefully climb on behind him, grabbing his hips with both hands and press my front against his back. I have a vague memory of the task of the year involving a dragon, and I will the motorcycle to turn into a dragon with Hot European Guy and I clinging to its back. He turns around and asks me what I want to do. I point to my old neighborhood and told him to burn it to the ground. I'm never coming back here.

I was awake. then closed my eyes and then I imagined that I am near the gate of on the subways in tehran <4rah'e Veliasr> Then My imagination became true (WILD) and I went to dream in there. Then It was lucid. I entered to Subway station and then after a while I was in a train station with 2 beautiful girls. I took their hand and I walked. then I looked my back. There was a witch that was chasing us. I afraid and flied with 2 girls and near there I descend in a farm land. I imagined that this land be my mind and start to grow increase some Mind Development Material in it.
