lucid

I am in what looks like my grandfather's Boise house. I am with several other people, include Mike A. Somewhere in my interaction with the group, I realize I am dreaming. After I become lucid, I realize I am no longer an active character in the dream, but rather, an awareness observing the dream. This is unusual so I decide to experiment with this new "ghost" state I am in. I see Mike in the kitchen. I approach him and whisper in his ear "I am right here." He reacts as though he does hear me but he looks confused because he cannot see me. He leaves the kitchen, but I stay, trying to decide what to do next. I opt for a dramatic dream exit. I consider spinning, but decide to try to sink through the floor instead since that has worked for me in the past.

I sink down through a vortex in the floor and find myself in a large, crowded building with many hallways. I begin walking around, looking at the dream and hoping for something interesting to present itself. I see dream characters but am reluctant to approach them for some reason. I feel as though this maze of dark rooms and hallways is endless, and I don't really like it. I've found myself in this kind of maze many times, and I always want out. I consider ways to locate an exit, but I wake up before I try another technique to change the scene.

I am in a large movie theater. Somehow I am both aware of the details of the theater as well as my physical body and the sound of the fish aquarium in my bedroom. I decide since I appear to be "halfway" between worlds, I want to try to go deeper, so I sit down in one of the theater seats and attempt a WILD, or at least a hybrid version of WILD since I'm already dreaming. I feel my body begin the usual distortions I experience with a WILD. I am also aware of the sound of my aquarium growing dimmer as I go deeper into the dream space. Twice I feel myself transition into the void until my aquarium is no longer in the background, but then I am pulled back by the sound again. Each time I snap back I am in the theater again, not my bed, but still holding the awareness of both my physical space and the dream space.

On my third try, I finally push all the way into the void and disassociate completely from my body and the background noise of my bedroom. As my vision becomes clearer, I realize I am looking at bright red geometric shapes against a background that looks like outer space. I am enthralled by the scene, wanting to go further into it to see what I am really looking at. I move further "into" the scene, watching the red glowing shapes swirl all around me. I wonder if I have somehow moved into another dimension because everything is so abstract and alien.

Unfortunately I woke up in my bed before I could explore any further.

I'm in a two story structure at night with a balcony on the second floor. At some point I become aware I'm in a dream and drift from the second floor away from the small group of people who are standing around a circular brown table. I decide to head out of the building, and begin to fly through the wall, and out into the yard of the property. I begin exploring a bit. There are sparse tree throughout the front of the yard, and grass covers the ground. As I fly close to the ground I occasionally look back at the structure taking in the surrounding, heading farther way from the building. I soon lose lucidity and continue dreaming for a period of time.

Police Chase!DILD

NON-LUCIDLUCID OTHER

I am talking to a friend and she tell's me she opened up a boba tea cafe on the college campus I go to. I ask her if she is hiring and she tells me yes she is. I get the job and get to start right away. I actually got a similar job in waking life but under more normal circumstances. I wonder if I will ever dream of my real work. That would be a pretty boring dream. haha They tell me to wipe down and clean everything in the cafe. They even want me to take apart the appliances and clean the parts. It is sort of a drag but because it is my first day and I want the job I do it.

After a bit of cleaning the dream skips forward to me driving home to my mom's house. That doesn't really make sense because I live on my own now. I really need to RC when ever I am there. Wait, I am there for weekend right now! *nose plug* My sister's family is visiting. Some sort of emergency siren starts going off outside and the news says to evacuate but doesn't explain why. Could it be an earthquake, terrorists, a meteorite? There isn't enough room for everyone in one vehicle so I offer to drive separate. Everyone in the neighborhood is lining up behind a checkpoint to get out of the neighborhood. That's weird. If this was a natural disaster evacuation I don't think there would be this many police just sitting around. I realize I never really packed anything in my car and turn around to go back to my house.

On the way inside I see a friend. In retrospect, both "friend" DCs don't represent real people from my waking life but I still think they are a friend. Weird. "Hey man. Let's get out of here. Can you back my car into the garage while I get stuff to pack. It's the silver Jeep over there." I say as I hand them the keys. I go inside and look in my closet for the tiny little box where I put some of the sentimental things I wouldn't want to loose for situations just like this. I also get the backpack that contains my laptop and dream journal and realize that is everything that is worth spending more time packing. I head out and find my friend is packing my camping equipment into the trunk. "I just don't want to be caught off guard if this is more of an apocalypse type emergence." he explains. I agree and grab my hatchet for chopping wood. "No, you need more than that if it's zombies." He shows me he has an AR-15. The police are watching and freek out. They open fire on us with full auto weapons. my "friend" crumples besides me and I jump behind the cover of my Jeep. "Those are the terrorists. Get them!" I get behind the wheel and start driving. They keep unloading on me but luckily they only hit my Jeep while they still have a clean shot.

I am in a chase now and there are quite a few police cars following me. I am thankful that I played so much Need for Speed back in the day. I guess that taught me how to maintain control during high speed turns. The neighborhood feels like a maze. I can't find a way out that isn't blocked off. I take a wrong turn and see a dead end sign at the end. Wait, there is a small ally for pedestrians. It looks just big enough to fit my jeep. I blast through a metal gate and skid onto a larger road. Cars swerve out of my way while I try and get back on the right side of the road. I don't see any police cars and I'm near the edge of town now. If I could get to the freeway I should be able to get away. Right around then I here a helicopter. I look up at it while I try and figure out how to get away from it. I pull over in on of the dry fields that surroundings my Bakersfield. As long as it can see me I will never loose them. I wish I had a rocket launcher or was lucid right now. Wait! I nearly face palm. I am dreaming right now. I have goals to do. I need to destroy a beehive for the Dream Hero League.

I fly up to try and get above the helicopter and imagine myself as invisible to DCs for good measure. I wanted to do this task in Los Angeles though. I bet the DHL headquarters is in downtown LA. I fly up higher and see that I am actually in the San Fernando valley now. It is dark but I tell myself it's okay it won't wake me up as long as there is this much street lights. I can't quite see the LA skyline from here so I fly up as fast as I can. I think I over did it because when I looked back down I could see the curvature of the earth and most of the United States. It only took a few seconds so I estimate I was flying at about Mach 500! That is fast but it would still take me 25 minutes to get to the moon. No wonder I always have problems flying there. I need to practice teleporting. instead. I fly down closer until all I can see is Los Angeles. The geography is right but I don't see any buildings. I imagine the buildings there and eventually get it right but right before I fly down it becomes an island and looks wrong again. I get frustrated which only makes it harder to teraform things. I start to wake up and can't pull myself back into the dream because I don't have anything to grab onto so high up and lost feeling in my dream body. I can tell it is to late for a DEILD so I just let myself wake up and enjoy that I got another lucid dream.



This is the second time I wasted a lucid trying to get to Los Angeles. I think it is because I pictured myself attempting it closer to my apartment and then trying to go to the HQ. I should postpone my goal of doing DHL missions until next month. My next goal should be to practice teleporting because it will make future goals much easier.

5:15 I'm battling monsters, Orcs Must Die style. I'm fighting fire monsters and ice monsters. I'm able to cast a 'death hex'. I do this when I'm fighting many flying jellies. The UI turns purple and everything becomes very crazy looking. When I cast the death hex the monsters counteract and cast their own version of the hex, summoning a wraith.

Later in the night. I'm in a huge house. We(?) are planning to rent it. It's good for climbing, so I climb all over it, exploring every part of it. The house seems all open plan and doesn't seem to have doors. I think it's possible to have a view in most rooms from outside of them. Some women come in after a while to have a look at the house. I'm on the very top of the house climbing on some platforms. After a while we decide not to rent the house and go outside. I see the house's exterior. It seems quite normal and uninteresting.

8:59 DILD I'm drifting in and out of consciousness and decide to become present. A bar comes into sharp focus. Wow, it feels like this is actually my reality, but I realise I'm dreaming. I'm aware of my surroundings -- I'm sat on a leather sofa in a dimly lit bar with some drink in front of me on a coffee table. I'm peripherally aware of my friends somewhere to the right by some stools. I think about manifesting a girl next to me but I start becoming aware of my real body in bed. The dreams fades quickly. I try to hold on by visualising the bar, but I've lost it and I'm back in bed.

I don't remember any of the visual content of this dream (though it was there), only thought and tactile sensations. Actually, I remember white light like a bright overcast morning, but none of the details. Then I remember 'becoming lucid' and beginning to shout 'increase lucidity', 'increase vividness', etc. which seems to work now, and then seeming to get some sort of response from the dream. But I can't remember the sense of 'wow, this is so real' that I take as the litmus test for lucidity. Notably, at some point in the dream I recall trying to strip naked, which suggests I wasn't fully lucid. If I were ever lucid in this dream, even semi-lucid, it would be an encouraging sign because unlike most I have, it happened during the night without ever waking up.

I think there was another dream that involved something about high-speed trains (my oldest dreamsign, going back to 2011 or earlier, is railway tracks).

Dream #1: non-lucid- All the details were very vivid in this dream. All the way down to cups & silverware & blankets & furniture etc. Jason & I were at college & were dating but then he turned in Bobby. We were hanging out on campus & doing normal college like stuff like eating together & romantic stuff. But then last nights dream guy became my new guy somehow & we were beginning a new romance & kissing & taking walks. I was staying in a rental w/ some other people now off campus & we were getting tired so I told him he could crash there with me. There was some weird reunion of people at my house & then the lights went dark & I sat on him.


Jason & Bobby were childhood friends of mine. The dream guy from the night before was weird.



Dream #2: non-lucid & lucid- I was at Richie's farm. But it only had very few details of the original. We were having a family reunion where I had become a permanent part of the family. There were a good 80 people or so there in the big farm house & outside. Lots of cars & trucks & other things that are normally on the farm. (Became Lucid) The details were intensely realistic & normal. Real things such as knickknacks everywhere. Everyone knew who I was & they were telling me who had had kids & married such & such & pulling out photo albums left & right. Lots of memories were going along with all of these things. This was extremely elaborate & there was a futuristic field they were showing me across the street where life had changed for all of us. It was elaborate with technologies that we don't have now for everyday life. A whole new system of farming & hovering crafts for water system & flying machines running the farm.... At this point I felt I was supposed to go back to my original families house but I was torn & really didn't want to go because of how all that turned out for me before.

Richie & her husband were one of my foster families. I was actually lived there twice. The first time I was going to go home to try & reintegrate me w/ my real family but it didn't work. I won't elaborate on that right now. I then came back after a few months but eventually I broke the rules of prom by leaving w/ my prom date from the after party. We still left amicably. I really loved them. They were good people. I even got a tattoo from one of my foster sisters (actually I put them on myself with her stuff & she gave me a dot on my shoulder to always remember here) & we went to high school for a while together in a whole other town.

Dream #3: Non-Lucid-Nightmare- I was in this house behind mine which is now a bunch of apartments. People busted in while my daughters house & these people were stealing all her shit. More very detailed stuff in it. I pulled out my phone to call the police & at some point I had to put it back cuz they almost caught me trying to call on them & they were an unsavory bunch. At the end I pulled it out & this woman just laughed at me & said "Good luck with that". Somehow she had magically took my phone which was now in her hands & fake phone was in mine. They tore out of there at that point & I woke up.

Recently I've tried not to interfere when I become lucid to work on noticing details. Apparently it's working. I've always noticed that when you try to change your dreams when you become lucid you take a big risk of losing a lot of details so I'm working on mastering details more lately.

(WILD/SSILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I woke up 4.25 hours after going to bed. I remembered right away that it was time to attempt SSILD; I got out of bed and felt extremely tired. I stayed inside my room, just walking around and staring at things. After 5 minutes I went back to bed and laid on my back. I did 4 shorts cycles, but kept getting distracted by toughts; instead of worrying about these thoughts I just let them pass by and got back to the cycles. Then I started doing the long cycles, I probably went through 1 or 2 until I noticed I was falling asleep. I switched positions to my sleeping position (laying on my stomach) and focused on hearing my sleep fan. I don't know how much time passed or whether I fell asleep and then woke up, but I started hearing the buzzing that I am all too familiar with from my WILD experiences. I started feeling the tingling in my legs, and the sound coming and going. I waited a minute or so, and then stood up from my bed.

I was in my room, it was dark and things were not arranged as they actually are. I looked at the window and was tempted to jump out and start flying but decided not to, afraid I would wake myself up. "It has been a while" I thought to my self; I opened the door and walked down the stairs. It was bit lighter downstairs. I opened the backyard door and sat on the patio couch; It was dawn and the sky had all kinds of vanilla and purple clouds. It was so mesmerizing I thought I should take a picture of it, but then realized I wouldn't have it by the time I woke up. The dream was a little bit unstable, my vision was starting to get blurry so I started rubbing my hands together. I tried to remember other stabilizing techniques but I couldn't remember any, again, "it has been a while" I thought. I decided to just observe my surroundings and everything became really sharp. I was amazed at how surreal everything looked, and caught myself laughing out of pure enjoyment. I saw my dad driving around the corner and he asked me to help him with something. I leaped over the fence and we went to the garage. I opened the garage door with Telekinesis... We started cutting lumbers and I drifted into the dream.

I had another dream after this one, and when I woke up this morning I was disappointed because I thought SSILD hadn't worked, then I realized I did have SP during the night and that helped me remember most of the dream. Since I literally got back into lucid dreaming yesterday, this is a huge success and I know I need to build up by recall, as well as review other skills such as dream stabilization, dream recall, and dream control.

I make my way out of the garage of my childhood home at night with a younger girl who is tagging along with me. We head through the open garage doors, out onto the driveway. The entire scene is covered in a light layer of snow, and the driveway is slightly iced over. The scene is at night time. We begin to slide down, yet I simply decide to fly down the slope toward the street and explain that it's easier. As I'm gliding it occurs to me, and I state that I'm dreaming. I float to the middle of the road and decide to rub hands to stabilize and focus on increasing vividness. I decide against flying again as I want to try to prolong the dream and feel flying may de-stabilize. I turn to my left and begin considering some goals to keep me anchored. I run my memory and suddenly remember my pre-bed intent to meet up with the druid guides in this dream area. I turn right once again in the area that I previously met the druids at. I spot a large house at the other side of the street and begin to head toward it. I'm interested to see who is inside, and to speak with them. I work my way across the front lawn and toward the large structure which appears a bit more like a small mansion, with slight purple coloring on the outside. I approach the massive black metal Gothic looking doors, and enter into the dark mansion. It is difficult to see, but I make out a small balcony across the way on the second story. I look up and see a small poster which appears to be colored crayons in a row. It appears very empty with limited visibility so I decide to enter back out through where I came. I keep making my way, but black walls keep reappearing, and I'm unable to exit. I transition back to my body with small vibrations.

Through visualizing and being very comfortable in bed, I watch as a long road in the countryside becomes a lucid dream. I float my hands in front of me and lose lucidity. I then focus again and re- emerge into another place, this time in New Zealand, with the beautiful Remarkables (mountains in South Island) right in front of me. We are in a hotel room, and my companion is also there. I tip the waiter 50 NZD. At the hotel room, I'm lying down on the hotel bed, pristine white sheets cover the bed. I have stabilized the dream. I do another reality check to be sure and confirm that I am dreaming. I then take a walk to the kitchen and feel like having some water. I drink some and it actually tastes quite nice. A little different, but nice. I then think of getting my magnetic card from my pocket "for the other planet" I say. Instead, I feel a white visiting card with some lettering on it that I don't remember anymore. Blue lettering on white.

Through another WILD entry, I enter a dream scene where I see lots of dream characters walking about in an observatory type dwelling. There's music playing. I meet an intelligent dream character, a woman about my age , short brown hair, and is wearing Jean shorts.
We talk.
"Where are are we"? I ask
I look outside, beautiful stars fill the sky. There's a red glow in the distance. It looks magical.
"Vancouver," she replies. "The Underground median link."
"What?", I ask.
You're from 2016 yeah? She asks.
Yes, but , which year are you and ....
"We're here after the last war broke out." she says.

Suddenly I find ourselves in a bus and another dream character from inside the bus says:
"We don't have humans on board do we?"
This remark is puzzling to me.
I hear the faint sounds of sirens.
I use dream control to make them go away. This works for a little bit.
A policeman runs up to the van and scans us over.
"You need to do your shit now, whatever it is you do" the dream character warns.
I exit.

cid;
At some point last night I woke up to hearing rain outside my window. It was coming down pretty hard ( my husband says it disn't rain last night though) When I fell back to sleep I realized I'd entered into a dream sequence and decided to go lucid. I was exhausted last night, I thought to wake myself up and write down the details but I chose not to. I just tried to recall the couple details that seemed worth remembering... But its still foggy, should have written it all down. I went lucid and flew out the bedroom window into the storm. Everything was black and white though I dream in colour most always. I entered a kind of town square where a large statue stood (the statue reminded me of a dream Id had back as a kid, it was also a storm and I was in a bedroom with bunkbeds but it was empty otherwise, the window had been open and the curtains blew in with the rain and wind. I looked out and with a flash of lightening saw a stone angel with a dagger in its hand in a garden) the statue wasn't really a focus for me because I was determined to continue my quest for a spirit guide. I didnt really speak my intentions out loud, just thought them and lightening struck. It was a bit scary actually and I said then out loud to whatever was there that it didn't have to show itself if it didn't want but what was it's name I asked. I got a name. I tried to repeat it in my head and remember it in my dream.. It was Pronounced Hi-dan.. Sounded like Hiedi but not Hiedi. I wondered if it was a feminine name or not because I'm pretty certain I feel a very masculine prescence. Anyway, then I'm in front of a turtle, and it's telling me that it's giving me this thing ( looked like an axe handle maybe but instead of an axe head it has like a cord wrapped around in a circle and there are two ends of the cord that cross at the bottom) and I'm told I can ask for something. So I asked to be successful and have a happy life. Then I think I hit deep sleep again

Strange thing happened. I was in a regular dream, and all of a sudden I was on the side of a lush green mountain with a breathtaking view of the ocean and cliffs below. I looked around and saw a bunch of my buddies from higschool, and immediately said "Guys, this is a lucid dream. We're all in a lucid dream right now. Everything you can taste, touch, smell, anything at all is not the real reality." They believed me after a little bit of protest. The weird thing is that I never did a reality check or anything, I just knew the second it began. I jumped off the cliff and flew down, guiding my friends. We landed at the bottom of the mountain where a gas station was, and I began trying things out. I did my classic tactic of screaming "lucidity boost!" but my dream characters started trying to cut me off from experimentation. A guy started flying down the road at me extremely fast as a joke but it broke my concentration and I slipped back into dream state.

This is my second entry today. First was night time, this one is morning nap.

6:40 am - 2x300mg of Alpha GPC choline
7:14 am - 2x4mg of galantamine and went to lay on the sofa

This was second time that I used my new sleep mask. I have it on very loose so I barely feel it.

woke up at 9:21, but last dream was already non-lucid

I estimate the LD chain to be 40 min long


This is only second time I took this new GM. First time it was 4mgs and 900 of Alpha GPC and didn't feel a thing. I thought maybe GM was fake or something.

Having only 1 day a week to morning nap, I'm so happy finally everything clicked in place. My state of mind, sleepiness, no noise outside. And I kept my cat from my body by a rolled up blanket between us. The other cat climbes on me anyway, but that one is my lucky charm and doesn't bother me. So I didn't feel the first cat at all, the second came out of the closet the moment I settled down on my sofa. How does he know? But he didn't stay long, maybe 10 min, then he left.

So I'm falling asleep on the sofa comfortably, only to wake up 3 times to realize my mouth is open. I hear my watch's chime at 8am (45 min into attempt) when I lower my pillows a bit. But soon after that I decide to pretty much end it and I turned to my left side. I never had a lucid on my side since my first few 4 years ago. I realize that and I think "well, it will be what will be".

Next thing I know I realize I'm dreaming. I had a few things planned while I was falling asleep.

1. Attempting to go to the Moon again. I failed every time before, but I realized that I scored some pretty amazing lucids even if I never got to the Moon, just by wanting to go there and what happened on the way there.
2. Seeing Ophelia again
3. June TOTM
- pull something out of your butt
- erase a 3D objects while looking at it
- find crystal, animal or plant and ask someone what's it called
- jump in the dryer and discover where lost socks go

Next 40 min was a mix of LDs and me laying in bed after LD was over, thinking I'll just wait there for another one, keeping the TV on so when I see it I know I'm dreaming, realizing I can see and getting up from the sofa numerous times. (All this while asleep) I got out of my room throug window, door, window covered with mosquito net... I paused once to marvel at how my room looks the same as in waking life, even reflecting my latest rearangement of furniture. Ofc this turned out to be not the way it's in WL, haha. Most of the time I was aware of my head rush/cold spot on top back of my head that humms to life when I'm transitioning or in a WILD. I realized domewhere along the way that this is going on already for quite a while and that I'm not waking up, even when I kinda expected to. But I also know that I can have a long ones, so I was not worried.

I was doing these things, in no particular order

1. going to the Moon by flying vertically straight up, passing electrical wires, wanting to hop on a roof and use it as a launch pad, more electrical wires

2. another Moon attempt later on

3. flying through a distribution yard with crates and trucks full of vegetables
here is where I decided to try and erase a crate - I moved my arm like an erasor, but the damn thing would not budge.
I decided not to look for the washing machine or dryer, because didn't want to lose lucidity.

4. later on attempted to erase a whole truck pulling 2 trailers full of vegetable crates - I just wished it to disappear, but nothing

5. tried to pull something out of my butt, but all I managed to put in there was my thumb. I was thinking well how am I gonna pinch what I find to pull it out? Anyway, there was nothing to pinch. I was thinking "well at least that gross thing the other member pulled out". But no, not even that. Then I thought next time I need to use some tool, like kitchen tongues or something and I tried to figure out the logistics of it

6. I'm walking to the river near a place I used to live. I'm in a mood for some action, so I decide to take my top off. It comes of half way, then i can't take it off all the way. But I manage to take my bottoms off, after a brief struggle. I resolve to practice that in WL some more. Some girls come along and wouldn't mind, then some boys. Then a damn government drone shows up and everybody scatters. I sneak home hiding behind some flower and weed bushes.

Non lucid thought about OP and infinitelly sad that she left, when I realize another friend of mine left as well.

Bedtime:
10:00pm
WBTB:
4:00 am
Wakeup:
7:00am

Dream 1
I'm at my parent's house in my room (thought it looks different than IRL) and there is a bag with some stuff in it, looks like meat patties and potatoes, but when I open it up, there's a bunch of dead bats in it as well. These bats are huge, not just regular small bats. They spill out all over the floor, it's totally repulsive. I think there were some crazy weird beetles, too. I pick up the bats with something other than my hands, I can't remember what I was using, but I didn't want to touch them. I remember their wings were so strange. They were very large and the bones in the wings were as long as drumsticks. When I put them into a new garbage bag, the wings would poke out of the sides. It was a really disturbing image. Now that I'm awake, I feel bad for these little guys, but in the dream I was scared out of my mind.

Dream 2
I spent the night in a backyard (not sure who's house it was), in this weird metal spacecraft looking thing. The whole night I was drifting in and out of sleep, and in between sleeps I was listening to the Beatles on an iPod, but they were old songs I've never heard before. Finally, around 5am, I woke up and ran into the house. I think I can remember my mom saying I needed to drive to her house, so I did.

WBTB: I didn't attempt to WILD, but I did do a bit of positive thinking and mental prep for a MILD. It worked!!

Dream 3
I am in a restaurant, and there's all these really hot guys there. We're all eating together, and then the next thing I know we're all lying down on the table, and it feels like an orgy is happening but everyone has their clothes on. I'm not really participating, but someone is holding my hand. The next thing I remember, I'm standing up and I hold my hands out with my palms facing down and push, which causes me to levitate. I'm not lucid, but I think I must have been sort of semi lucid, because I remember thinking "is this going to work?" and it worked very well. Everyone was staring at me floating there in the middle of the room.
Then there is a break in the dream where I can't remember what happened, but the next thing I know, everyone including me are wearing tuxedos and we're running through the mall (this restaurant was in the mall). I'm with this one guy and we're trying to find a place to "be alone" , while everyone else is running for different reasons I think. We find a gymnasium full of guys playing basketball, and I tell the one I'm with that I'm going to use a Jedi mind trick to make them all leave. In my head I'm not sure if it will really work, but we get in there and I snap my fingers. The guys all start to leave but they're giving me dirty looks. I turn to the guy I'm with and all of a sudden he looks completely different. He's like this small mousey kid and he also looks mad at me and runs away. I run back out into the mall and meet up with another one of the guys from the restaurant. I tell him I can levitate, and I try it again but it doesn't work. He says, "Try looking up at the sky when you do it," I try this and it works for a few seconds. Then we reach these glass doors guarded by two guys (who are also in tuxedos), and they say we have to wait 20 minutes before we can go through. I tell one of the guards he needs a haircut. Somehow they get distracted and we run through the doors. The guards start chasing us. I'm with a larger group of people now, and we're running toward these huge marble columns. I know my best option is to slide down them. I reach the columns and look down. It's a 3 story drop, and I say to myself "I can't do this, I can't do this..." I remember thinking I could try to manifest a feather bed at the bottom, but I know I could still get hurt. Then out of nowhere, I become lucid. Like completely full on lucid. I say "I'm dreaming! This is a dream!" I grab onto the marble column and prepare to slide down. I notice how real everything feels. It really was just like waking life. I realize I haven't done a reality check, and sliding down a marble column could be a really dangerous way to figure out if I'm dreaming, but I really felt that it was a dream and I didn't have time to check so I began my descent. There were little decorative holes in the column that I used to quickly scale down, and everyone followed me. Once we reached the bottom I almost punched one of the guards in the face, but since I was dreaming I decided what's the point. I was so excited to be lucid, but everything started to fade to black. I reached out my hands to touch something but it was too late.

I was in this black void. I tried to open my eyes but they were like glued shut. So I kept them shut and tried to stay very still. I felt still very connected to the dream world. But nothing was manifesting so I opened them, and I was in my room. I should have done a RC, because this turned out to be a FA, but I wasn't lucid anymore and was just so excited, I remember jumping up and down on my bed and clapping my hands. Then I woke up IRL and tagged it all in my DJ.

Dream 4
I was going to the mall with my sister. We pulled up to the front in the car, and there was a car in front of the door, but no one was in it. A little dog was sticking his head out of the driver side window, so I got out and pet his head while I waited. Then the driver, an angry transgendered woman, came out and glared at me. I told her I was sorry for touching her dog and she was really pissed. She dropped her scarf and I picked it up for her, and she was like "yeah..." like it was my fault she dropped it or something. Then she left and I dropped my sister off, then I parked the car. While inside, I saw my high school biology teacher, and we talked for a bit. Then my sister and I went to Sears and had all these coupons. There was a man who was following us and he kept taking our cart every time we'd step away to grab something. I needed new work shoes but couldn't find the ones I was looking for.

wake, can't believe I missed the mirror scenario, BTS

+ LD#190 mirror [first LD from mirror check!]. I'm walking quickly through a garage heading for the door to the kitchen, I do a sudden double-take (I walked by a mirror?), stop and look at my face in a mirror with my left hand grasping the door frame into the kitchen, see my face is like the previous dream (wrong face/puffy), and get lucid. I walk into the kitchen, there's a girl there. I do a short pat-down lucid ritual, then I immediately hold out my hand to blast her with lightning (yay!). At first nothing comes out but then some tendrils/tube of energy forms from my hand running towards her. She sends a blast back at me (?) and they meet in the middle (?). Another girl and an older woman enter the kitchen, I try to ignore them. I then approach the woman/girl, getting a quick kiss from the first girl as I walk by her. Then I'm trying to rip the clothes off one of the girls with TK with my "be naked" gesture. It doesn't work, I try it repeatedly. The original girl is naked then and I approach
and the dream fades

+ couch, blankets, construction, folding and unfolding couch, talking about it

+ I'm walking through the lobby of some hotel heading for an upper floor. There are various female clerks behind counters. I'm heading for the stairs, then "remember" [FALSE] that there are elevators around a corner through a hallway. I head to there but the walls of the corridor narrow to about 1/2 a person's width [DREAM SIGN], I can't get through so return. I'm looking for another elevator when a female staff member says I do not have access?
