lucid

In a cafeteria sitting at the lunch tables senior year with Jackie and Danielle, it doesn't look like our school its different. We were talking about burgers/cheese and how the burger bun would just end up tasting like cheese…Kaitlyn M was sitting to my left. Someone does something to piss the teacher off and they get hauled away. The teacher tries to catch us as well but we hide behind a pole as she walks up the stairs.

I was with Lee at first but he turned into Shane and we had gone to a museum, in the dream it was our special place. When we got our tickets they were recording us and we were excited because we would be able to keep the tape and it would be a nice memory, I remember he was wearing a tie, blue. I don't think anyone else was in the building and we saw turtles and for some reason I know I have dreamt about those turtles before... and termites..or something.

At Shanes apartment and watching him change into a blue checkered shirt and knowing that I was mad at him in waking life but I remember thinking, this is a dream. No reason to be angry. Jeff was there.

I was in a room doing yoga with women and I took off my top and had a red sports bra on underneath. I was doing a headstand, the room was very small.

#314 – MILD – 4:32

I used a different version of MILD combined with a super quick WBTB and caffeine. This time instead of visualizing becoming lucid in a dream I visualized a stabilization technique of hand checks and rubbing. Basically its the same but I'm not doing tons of imagining. Usually I'm too tire or lazy to get very far with it but this was quick and simple.

I have a false awakening that I'm sleeping in the back yard. It seems that I have rolled in my sleep and ended up under the back deck. I see something like tent material and make the connection to camping. I remember that I was trying to get lucid and induce an in-dream-WILD.

I wander toward the alley doing long slow hulk jumps. I'm not quite sure if I am fully dreaming but after I easily clear the privacy fence I assume I am. I do another jump and land in Marvin's yard. He has a small dog that looks a lot like my mini dachshund tied to a stake. The dog keeps jumping on my leg and I find it very annoying. I try to fly away but I am stuck in long slow jumping mode. I try flapping my arms really fast but I only manage to hover slightly out of reach. I decide to just land and walk away but when I do I, my legs get tangled in the dog's chain. I try to walk it off but the chain grows with each step. I stop and manually untangle the chain from my legs. When I do, the small dog suddenly looks like my Australian Shepard that I gave to my ex during the divorce. The dog, being much larger now, crowds me and I push her away. I say, “There you go, Tybee.”

Before the dog can bother me again, I instinctively climb a nearby tree. As I move up, I realize that I am climbing with claws like a cat (felt rather than seen). That that realization causes my cat, Stella, to appear just before me. I pay over her saying something nice to her. I pause now thinking that I had actual goals rather than being a cat. I try so hard to think but frustratingly I draw a blank. I am afraid this will wake me so I say out loud, “Fuck goals.” I briefly wonder if I want to put that word in my DJ. (Fuck it. I do. Ha!)

I turn my head toward my house considering if I want to go there. Suddenly, I am laying in the threshold from my kitchen. I notice the kitchen is dark but the dining/living room is well lit. I crawl froward not sure what I'll do next. I stop when I hear the alarm clock and my son crying. I am amazed that all this noise is bleeding into my dream but not actually waking me. That thought gives me another false awakening. I watch the scene turn black and assume I am waking. (Classic Xanous mistake!)

I am now lying on my stomach in bed. I wonder about this since I NEVER sleep on my stomach. I wonder if it helps lucidity so I keep that in mind to try later. I don't hear the alarm anymore so I look at the clock. The numbers are green instead of the usual red and it reads 4:28 (SURPISINGLY ACCURATE TIME!) I think this is odd and wonder what's going on. Before I can put 2 and 2 together. I see my aunts (mother's sisters) standing in my room dressed in running clothes. The are talking about getting ready for a running event. Joyce says something about sewer issues and they will have to run in all that stench. I feel anxiety and worry that I should be getting ready to run too. I start to ask what time the race is but stop when I figure I'll probably be working anyway. I hear my son crying again and this time I actually wake up.

I feel wakeful now and worry about insomnia. I just decide to sleep expecting a LD rather than try WILD. I should have tried.

Jesus Freak - NLD - 6AM

I recall another vivid dream where I am some sort of grounds-keeper at a swanky hotel. As I am messing with some outdoor potted plants I hear a strange and wonderful version of Jesus Freak. The song brings back thoughts nostalgia and I enjoy what I hear though I really don't like Christian music anymore. I look at the band and thought there are lots of people around, absolutely no one is giving them any attention. The band stops playing and I hear one of the guys complain that every one is just ignoring them. They play again while I continue my task at hand. I take a plant into front of the hotel and notice the band is actually set up right in front of the entry way atop the large stone stairway. I have to walk past them but give a sympathetic smile as I weave my way past the musicians and instruments.
I put the plant down and decide to tell the complainer that I actually enjoyed the music. I understand the desire to make something for others to enjoy and needing someone to appreciate it. I walk to the drummer who is just sitting idle looking bummed. I wanted to tell him that I liked their version of Jesus Freak but I actually say, “I like your version of Ripleys....”
He cuts me off and says a quick, “Yeah thanks.”
I find that rude but chose to ignore it. I am more worried about saying the right thing. I stop and awkwardly laugh at my self feeling embarrassed. I say, “I mean Jesus Freak.”
All I get is another, “Yeah thanks.”
I walk away thinking, “I guess he knows already.”
The actual alarm wakes me at 6AM.

Morning of May 8, 2014. Thursday.



Firstly, in the open expanse of sky, I am aware of a small “guard booth”, similar to the building in “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” (1968) where Lionel Jeffries sings “Posh!” (though that is actually a fancy outhouse, not a guard booth). Nothing else exists but blue sky and the hovering guard booth, which has no side windows by the way, but with the front and back entirely open. However, it is not Lionel Jeffries, but a young go-go dancer, a version of my wife seemingly “between two worlds” (or within a partial dream world just now being rendered, as if the booth was “designing” or “completing” the final stages of the go-go persona and look). This is because it seems like an isolated foyer as well as a sort of “gate” (vaguely reminiscent of an arc trellis, I think). I attempt contact, but the contact seems “filtered” somehow as if there is another world beyond which is on the “other side” and a bit on this side within this “portal” of sorts. (I am certain there is a play here, but it is mostly just because of doubled words, “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”, “Posh Posh” and “go-go”.)

Because of this, I looked up “posh” in the online dictionary and one of the first things I saw was “So in Punch for September 25, 1918, do we find the first recorded instance posh, meaning ‘smart and fashionable’.”

The name “Punch” curiously brought back a prior section of the dream sequence that was a bit unusual. It was a Punch and Judy puppet show in a large park in possibly late morning. To the right, there is some sort of ladder-like structure going out from the front of the puppet stage that does not seem to be an intended part of the show. At times, though, I am reminded of a railroad track. I am weirdly “waiting” for the puppets to “notice” this (as if they were human). This ambiguous switching between ladder and railroad track has occurred at other points in my life - I think it relates to rate of dream vividness/cohesion or something (based on whether the “H” is horizontal or vertical - vertical meaning that you might be becoming more lucid or waking up). Both represent the letter “H”, though, which is also coincidentally the first and last letter of my wife’s maiden name. As a ladder, there is a brief idea that another puppet will “escape” by climbing down it, but then I remember that hand puppets do not have legs.

Eventually, the two hand puppets take notice of the “ladder/railroad track”, now moving slightly “snake-like” as if it had been meant to be a part of their routine. However, it seems to be a “mistake” in the show whereby a real train is opposite the puppet stage (the vibrations thereby causing the intentionally unseen prop to slide out of a container behind the puppet stage curtain and into view like some sort of ironic or comical foreshadowing) and heading towards the audience. Judy waves her hand to somehow acknowledge to the audience about what almost seems like a scheduled event or some such (as if the audience is going to “get clobbered” by being hit by the oncoming train). There does not seem to be a fearful awareness in the audience yet, creating the impression that it is an illusion perhaps, though this is not certain. The puppets seem “puzzled” about the audience not getting up to leave or perhaps run away…fade to black.

There has also been a very clear and ongoing recurring aspect of hypnagogia and beginning dream sequences over the last few months, which involves very intricate black wrought iron gates, which stand out more than anything else. This particular one had a heart symbol in the middle of the top section and was quite complex in the various thinner partial spirals and twists in the design. This one looks like a composite of Fertöd-château and one that appears to be in Salem (but with the heart outline being larger). At one point, the gate opens and the “landscape” behind it shifts into a beautiful fractal design that is primarily blue and circular, with an orange “border”. It is beautiful and like looking into deep space with no sense of being ungrounded in any way.

Although a newbie to lucid dreaming, in the past 2 days I have experienced a lucid dream and a OBE. My first lucid dream was completely unintentional, randomly having hummus and cheese before I slept (not knowing their value to lucid dreaming), I found myself having extremely vivid dreams, so vivid that I shocked myself awake at 3:30 AM; not ready to go back to sleep yet, I spent an hour killing time (prayed, checked my email etc.), trying to get something out of my throat I found myself almost puking (another random coincidence), I was still not able to fall asleep, until l I did ... without really falling asleep, I saw my laptop right there bright screen and all right by my side, which shocked me as I specifically remembered putting it on the charger and desk before my last attempt to fall back asleep. So I started playing around with it, still laying in bed, room looking completely real, I started to question my sanity and decided to run a google search to see whether I was dreaming or not (don't really know what I expected) , and boom .. full results.
I was surfing the web while not actually surfing the web and it was freaking me out; suddenly out of no where I hear this melodic catchy tune that I do not believe I've ever heard before (probably heard it once years and years ago but it stuck in my subconscious mind), I freaked out as I've never heard music in my dreams so clearly and vividly before, it sounded like it was coming from the roof and through the walls at the same time, finally convinced that I must have had been dreaming, I decided to wake myself up, it took longer than I expected it to as my body wouldn't really respond, I remembered the song lyrics of that calm song slightly but forgot to write them down and now I completely forgot them
Waking up confused but with the biggest smile , I regretted not enjoying that experience for longer, and kind of beat myself up for it.
So I spent all day searching and gathering all the knowledge I could about lucid dreaming, and attempted it all that night. Apple Juice, Bananas, Melatonin, Vitamin B12, Garlic, I chowed it all trying to get a similar experience to what I had the day before. Tried the WBTB method (pretty much what I did the night before not knowingly), but found it extremely hard to fall back asleep after my alarm went on, as I figured although suggested, 6 hours of sleep might have been too much for someone who is usually accustomed to only 6-7 hours of sleep, but that didn't stop me, I was so determined to fall back into a lucid dream.
Hours had passed and still no luck. I was meditating, listening to binaural beats; nothing, until I dozed off into what I thought was just a day dream, My best friend who I have not seen in a week and some days, as I am on vacation, was there, sitting on my chair, and out of no where a TV appeared in my room and we were playing FIFA. I still had no idea I was dreaming till I noticed the two uniforms of the two teams: both red. Me and my friend are both very OCD and have ended matches when that's happened, so I knew I must have been dreaming, so I look down and I don't see a controller in my hands.. I was controlling it with my mind this entire time, however he had one in his. Thinking I was having another lucid dream I got excited and my brain started producing the fastest frequencies I have ever heard/felt, my entire head was tingling and it actually caused physical discomfort. Determined to push through it, I tried to focus and suddenly saw the silhouette of my body with a controller, and the shock caused me to immediately wake up, with my head still ringing.
Once again I had woken up with the biggest smile and sense of accomplishment, and decided to try find a forum I can discuss these trippy yet brilliant incidents with other brilliant minds, and here I am.

For reference:
I am 18 years old and this is not my first lucid dreaming experience, I was actually very into the habit as a kid.. however growing up I started getting more into the plant of marijuana (as I live right next to BC lol), and have experienced a severe decline in dreaming since, until I came on vacation here in Dubai and decided to quit! If I can master this there is no way in hell I am going back to smoking pot.

PS. in both these dreams I have been laying on my side and been unable to get out of bed (in the dream); any suggestions as how to change this?
Sorry about the long post, and thanks for taking your time to read!

#313-DILD

Ok this dream was personal and really embarassing but I want to count it so I'll only post the jist of it.

Basically I was preoccupied with and an activity and people kept bothering me. One DC tried to guide me to lucidity at one point but I was too busy to realize it. i hid in a bathroom stall and noticed i could see they guy next to me becausr the wall was partially disolved. I recognized the dream sign and became lucid. I told him I didnt care what he looked like and found he was actually a woman. I will the rest of the DC to become a hot chick. I woke to realize dream orgasms dont always result to a wet dream. I said too much I think.

The first dream of the night that I recall involves a very, very tall skyscraper. It's so incredibly tall that planes fly around it rather than over it.

I am on my way to the skyscraper. Instead of flying in a plane, I am in something like a swing-set seat, suspended from some sort of flying device. It's just a plastic seat with cables on either side, no sort of safety restraints or anything. The sky is clear, but it's a sort of washed-out blue with no clouds. I'm terrified of heights, so I have my eyes closed and a death grip on the cables. I'm trying to explain to my mother (who is neither next to me, nor on the phone, but she can hear me anyway) that I'm incredibly afraid of heights, and this is terrifying. She doesn't understand why it's so scary. "But you're not afraid of being in a plane," she says. "Planes are solid metal," I explain. "There's something surrounding me. Right now, I'm just sitting on a seat, without anything around me."

As I approach the incredibly thin, super tall building, I recall a dim memory in being in one before and how unsafe it felt. I tell my mother, "Last time I was in one of these buildings, I was terrified and clung to the walls. They're too high. I don't feel safe in them."

As I make my final approach to the building, everything goes black. It's sort of like a scene change would be in a non-lucid dream, if I was paying attention. And when it happens, I do notice this time, and realize that I was dreaming.

The world suddenly pops back into existence around me. I am in what looks like a hotel room. I understand that this is sort of like my brain trying to create my bedroom, but I've been focusing hard on being somewhere different, so it pulls up something that is supposed to be my bedroom, without it being my actual bedroom.

The whole thing is very... "four stars"? Not quite a five star hotel room, but not cheap. But a little tacky, like it's trying too hard. This environment is much clearer than the past few I have found myself in.

Side note: I still don't spend enough time really examining and exploring my surroundings, but I did pay a little more attention this time. I really need to pay more attention to what is around me at first, rather than doing some half-assed stabilization and immediately diving into whatever I am doing. I feel like the more attention I pay to where I am at first, the more successful my attempts to manipulate the dream are.

There is a gilded oval mirror on the wall. I decide to jump into it to see if I can do a scene change. I dive into the mirror, and I am standing in front of it again. I dive into it again, and I am standing in front of it again. I dive into it again, and I am standing in front of it again. I stop and inspect my reflection for a moment to stabilize the dream again. For some reason, my hair is very short.

I try not to let it bother or frustrate me too much, and it really doesn't. I decide that if I can't do a full scene change, I'll start manipulating my environment into what I want.

The hotel bed is very cushy, with nice accent pillows and bedding. The bedding is off-white with very thin red pin-stripes. I don't want red. I want purple. Without even closing my eyes, the pinstripes are suddenly purple, and the colors of the furniture and wallpaper and other decorations have shifted to match the new color scheme.

There is an end table with a small piece of carved driftwood on it. The wood is old-looking and grayish. It has been carved a little bit, but I still can't tell what it was meant to be. I inspect and feel the wood, to solidify things a bit.

I look around. The room has a very nice door, but it's not what I want. I decide that I want something more rustic, and more rounded. I cover my eyes and uncover them. The door has morphed a little bit, but it's halfway between the original (red, then purple) door and what I want. I cover my eyes and uncover them, and it is the shape that I want, but not wooden. I do it again, and I am satisfied with my nice, wooden door.

I look around the room. The furniture has changed a little bit. It's not the frilly, floofy stuff that I didn't like. The chair is more worn, softer, and comfortable-looking. The end table is now made of what looks like old, "reclaimed" wood that was rescued from an old barn or something and crafted into a table.

I turn my attention to the windows, and do the same thing I did with the door. After a few tries, they are close to the windows I want.

Unfortunately, on my last try, I open my eyes and wake up. I do a quick reality check (try to put one hand through another hand) and I can't pass my hands through each other. I'm still not sure if I was really awake, but I roll over and fall back asleep.

I have a vague dream of two women in the hotel room, arguing about something. Then, I dream that I have bought a bouquet of fresh cut flowers, but when I bring them home and try to arrange them, I realize that I have no vase.

Then I am playing a video game with extremely simple Atari-style graphics. There are several characters that you can unlock, and they all have their own individual stats.

Last nights lucid was obsessively long. To the extent that I likely won't be able to record the entire thing right now. But I'll start.

I'm in a city my friend D. We're in a car and I'm driving. We're deciding which crimes we're going to commit, when my friend says there are way too many police around and he gets out of the car and runs away. An hud like in GTA appears and my view becomes third person. I can see that there are dozens of blue police markers around me on the screen in the process of catching another criminal. I get out of the car and wait for the "end mission" option to appear on the screen and start pressing a non existent "select" button in my mind. But I run out of time and a cop right behind me begins to pursue me. A clever us of parkour on the walls of the city in front of shops allows me to evade him. I think at this point my view became normal again. After some walking around I manage to find a homeless guy. I cant remember what I did but he starts chasing me with the intent to kill. He follows me to some building and I make sure he's following me up each flight of stairs. I get to the top of the apartment and theres some girl there barely dressed shouting about how much of a whore she is. She walks back into her apartment and then I get an idea (or maybe I had it the entire time) I trick the hobo into listening to me and we walk into the apartment. The girl gets up to fight back but I use her name (which I know because she said it when she was shouting) and I tell her I brought then hobo she wanted to fuck. I tell him to wait in the bathroom while me and her argue. I holding her now and I try to have sex with her but she isn't in the mood. After a lot of arguing and persuading she's finally in the mood (i think I was rubbing up against her the whole time so its natural) I don't think I was lucid though so I can't even remember if we had sex.

This may have happened after or been a part of a previous dream but I think it may have happened here. Its more of a dream fragment but anyway I was in a movie theatre watching some movie and instead of sitting in one seat I was jumping around from seat to seat (literally jumping) and the seats were all movable so I was rearranging entire rows. They were all falling forward and making a noise and there was barely anyone in the theatre. Every time I would try sit in a row with people in it they would disappear by the time I look at them. Eventually I think I'm kicked out of the movie theatre so I walk down the ramp and I leave. While on my way to use the toilet I see a friend of mine named J. He's the same friend I had in a dream in April who had superior powers to me when I was lucid. Anyway in this dream he's normal. I see a bunch of old friends from my high school so I make a point of greeting all of them. We're moving through groups of people while talking and some girl bumps into me. She's from my old primary school. For some reason at that moment I was giving her money in exchange for food. she shouts that I have to compensate her and that she's on her period. She charges me an obscene amount and I leave really saddened. I get to my seat and put my stuff in my school bag. (we're on what appears to be a bus now). Cant remember what happened next.

This is where the lucids start. The first lucid is sketchy because its taken me half an hour to write all of this down. I can remember the second one perfectly.
Anyway I think I'm at home in my parents bathroom on my phone and someone runs to me. They're giving me the impression that someone is breaking in to my house and I start hearing loud banging noises outside. I look on my phone and its blacked out on the call screen so I can't phone for help. It looks weird and I exit to the main menu. Instead of doing this It shows me a list of five things. I cant remember what they were right now but in the dream it was 5 things I had to remember. It was about a reoccurring lucid dream I've had before. This makes me lucid. With my phone in my pocket I fly out through the closed window and get outside. The minute I'm outside I think I started fighting someone. For the life of me I can't remember who it was. We were flying the whole time and I remember concentrating on my flying skills to levitate so that I could still fight upright. The rest of the lucid concerned a little boy who was about 9 or 10 as written on my phone earlier but I cant remember. All I remember was that at the end of the dream I rechecked my phone, so that when I FA'd I would know what the next mission was.

Lucid number two.
Immediately after waking up I think I did a quick RC and became lucid. I flew out of my bedroom window. I could hear my father talking behind me. Normally my behavior allows whoever is chasing me to catch up because I doubt my flying skills and then they do. My father almost does catch up and I have to push him backwards with my hand. But at some point he gives up and turns around. I found this weird at the time because he'll normally try to distract me and ruin my lucids. But I was treating him as if he was an object of the dream (which he is, he's just a DC) so he must have lost the only purpose he served. With renewed vigor I flew over the treetops in my backyard at blazing speed. Now I was flying over a forest with tons of trees and giant beautiful trees that were brown and orange and green. I landed on the ground and Ninjas started attacking me. My friend who had previously bailed on me when the cops were around returned and together we used martial arts that couldn't possibly exist in the real world to kick those ninjas to the curb. We then saw a house in the woods. My friend wanted to break in and hurt everyone inside and rob them. I went to the opposite side of the house and waited by a bathroom window. I could see a guy inside the bathroom. The minute I heard commotion I smashed the window, to give the impression that it was an organized force attacking and to break the morale of the people inside. I then entered through a side entrance next to the kitchen. There was a burglar gate there and two guys were blocking it. A short guy who was bulky and a guy the same height as me with massive muscles. The short guy pissed me off so much with is comments that I told him we were now going to fight. We moved past the big guy who I was being very polite to given the circumstances, and stood in the kitchen of the house. It was my kitchen we were back in my house. While putting on gloves I told the guy I don't have mma gloves only weight lifting gloves, but he was ignoring me. I could see he had the exact same type of gloves as me. I decided I was through trying to be nice to this guy and that I would kill him. But the dream ended here and I woke up for realsies.

First lucid of the month, recall was good considering I've only slept 4 hours. Ok I'm going back to bed now!

25-04-2014
Haven't written down any of my dreams this month. Last night I had a lucid I'm not exactly sure how I became lucid but I did. I think I was at home or something. So anyway there are two groups of people and I think they are fighting. I decide to join in on the fight for one group and at that exact moment everyone starts using powers. People are shooting fire, explosions are happening everywhere and people are using cool enchanted weapons. I summon some kind of staff that has a little bit of cushioning at one end to protect the person I'm fighting against. I'm kicking ass and taking names but then I see a friend of mine on the other team.

He's dual wielding swords and tells me I have no chance against him. I extend the pole like Goku's staff from dbz and try to smash him with it but he moves faster than I have ever moved in any lucid in my life. He's slashing me to pieces and over powers me every time I try to strike him. I turn around to flee, and phase through a gate so that they cant catch me. I'm in my backyard now and I fly onto my roof. I decide to summon a monster. The first one that appears is some kind of giant flying snail thingy from Final fantasy but it attacks me. Then another one appears and they're both trying to catch me. I try throw flames at them but they are fire element themselves so they just spew more of it at me. I think some kind of giant wolf or dog comes and attacks them so I fly away. I try to summon a dragon and two purple ones appear and also attack me. I run and jump and use buildings as cover until they eventually get bored and fly away (probably towards the other monsters). I calm myself down and I think I tried to stabilize the dream. Then I thought that the next monster I summon must be faithful to me. I summon blue eyes white dragon and I hear it flying and roaring before landing beneath the building I'm hanging from. I can see its also hostile so I jump down and land on its back. It tries to knock me off with its tail but I imagine theres a floating playstation triangle button in front of me and I press it to mount. The dragon is now under my control. I go back into my house and blow the door apart with my dragons flame. When I get to the main fight everyone is riding on the backs of these funny looking lego dragons. My one also turns into lego. I shoot flames into the ceiling to distract everyone and My dragon starts biting everyone else's, breaking them into pieces. Eventually my dragon runs out of pieces and becomes a little toy. I jump off and start attacking the other team, this time working together with my teammates so that each fight is two on one.

My friend with the swords sees me again in the middle of a fight with someone else. Two other members of my team and I charge at him to sucker punch him, but he kills all three other members of my team. I'm fighting with all I've got but its no use. I fly away to escape once again but this time he flies after me! Its now night time. I fly at top speed, then I shoot straight up into the air. He's on the ground but jumps straight up to my height in an instant. I fly down and try to get to where I remember the monsters were spawning. But he flies down and these chains shoot out of nowhere and restrain all of my limbs. I'm dangling upright suspended off the ground now. He looks at me and tells me I've gotten so weak. I'm thinking of escaping this body the minute he attacks and firing a suicide attack at him where my soul tries to destroy him at the cost of my body. He knows what I'm planning and doesn't get closer. The dream ends with him going to kill the rest of the members of my dream.

Had a dry spell for a while because of university. So today I took a nap in the middle of the day. Guess what I had? My first WILD!!! Didn't even concentrate on it. Just laid down in bed and a couple minutes later the music I went to sleep to was off and I felt like my whole body was already in SP. i could hear a little girls laughter in the house and I felt like someone was standing over me but I ignored it. Then my body shook really hard and I felt like I just melted through my bed. I waited for a while until I could see and I was lying on my bed looking at the door. Did the nose RC to confirm I was asleep and then I flew out the window. The lucidity itself wasn't that good because I didn't stabilize or calm down. I eventually lost it and was in a normal dream. I was in some place where they had a huge wave pool. Surfed for a bit. Then the rest of the dream took place in a beach.
Thats all I can remember because I was too lazy to get up and write down my dream afterwards.

5/7* this entry is mainly for notes that I forgot to add to my last entry and will add my LD this morning which was fairly short just before waking up for the day.

Factors that may have to contributed to my previous very nice LD (previous DJ entry):

-self-awareness (recent refocus on)
-open beta exercises
-weirdness induction second night in a row(now 3rd)
-taking control / boldness dream sign second night in a row (as of 5/6 LD)
-ssild

The one I had this morning was very close to when I get up for the day and I usually have very low awareness and I am usually very zoned out. I was also very tired from my game last night so I wasn't planning on trying but I did do a little weirdness induction when I got up to go to the bathroom but quickly went back to sleep. I think I even felt a little tired in the dream. Anyway I was in my old bedroom at M Boulevard and I saw a man and woman walking in the front yard and I thought that was strange and they were turning around towards the side of the house and I thought this seems like a dream scenario. This is a thought I have had more often recently...of scenarios feeling like a dream scenario. Sure enough the guy comes up to the window and is trying to come into the window and I play around with him a bit pointing my finger at him like a gun considering summoning a gun and shooting him but then I thought well let me talk to him and ask him what his name is. His face does look slightly familiar. He has kind of an odd nose and a half-homely face with brown hair (in waking the only person I can think of makes me think he did
kind of look like DP from high school, the one who lived about one quarter mile to the right of my street but I think it may have been someone else that I've seen somewhere). He said his name was Hareuna. I ask him to say it again and he spells it. As I'm confirming the spelling, I wake up. I see online a few people with Arabic names with Hareuna in their name...google search says are you sure you don't mean Haruna which seems to be a Japanese name and battleship. I don't remember ever seeing that name before, though I could have forgotten. 143

I don't remember my first dream so well. I wasn't lucid. All I remember was trying to lucid dream at the beginning. I ended up seeing images of a city like place where i would appear but the dream wouldn't keep going. It's cause of my cold and there was too much saliva in my mouth. But at the end of the dream I was trying to find a safe place for my parakeet Marisol. Cause I found her with her feet stuck to a piece of wood in a drawer i think. It was weird...Anyways the second dream started with me walking with my mom and younger brother through a bridge and into a building.There we saw two people and a Lady at the front desk. The lady was complaining about a guy she said was asking a question like 265 times on the bridge. We didn't see the guy though so I thought that was kind of weird. But I was still happy we didn't cause that would have been annoying.We than entered a room where people were playing soul caliber. I wanted to play so I chose Talim after grabbing the remote. We played for a little bit but than I got bored and left the room. When I left the room I noticed I was in a place that looked like my house. Not like the building i was in and became lucid at that point. I ran up the stairs with the goal of looking for Eye my dream guide. But when i reached the living room I was walking slower and couldn't speak. I tried to reach the door but stopped when I heard someone was behind me. In my mind i repeatedly hoped it would be Eye. I stopped after i felt no one was there though but i noticed i could finally move and speak. So I ran downstairs calling for Eye. But instead I bumped and fell on a girl who looked like she had a really big head. She wanted me to kiss her but I said no and ran into another room. In the room I sat on a bed and looked at a silver heart balloon that I found. It had a number on it and words but than it changed and there were just words about donating to people in need.At that point i felt like giving up but than a tall, slim boy walked into the room and hugged me. He didn't look like Eye at all so I was like your not Eye. I couldn't see his face. He was like a dark black figure. He said he wasn't so I left the room after pushing him. I was still determined to find Eye but ended up losing my lucidity. After that I appeared at a place where I found my mom's tablet i think. I turned it on and watched a singing cover of a teenage girl singing a Japanese song. There were some teenage boys around me who i thought was my brothers new friends. I didn't want them to see what i was watching so i changed the video after liking it and ended up seeing a sing a long version of the song. I started to sing a long with the video since it sounded really good but than stopped cause i thought i might embarrass myself. I than got up and fed my parakeets in the dream. A boy said something to me about my bird and annoyed me. I think he was digging in my parakeets food thing for treasure too. I told him to stop than suddenly walked into a room where i heard a male voice say I have to pass two tests that most have failed to pass. The image of a old game suddenly appeared. In the game i dropped some bombs around and went through the portal type thing.The game ended and I suddenly appeared in a bright yellow room where the walls looked like the night sky. There I saw a big lizard [who looked like a orange iguana] with a small white, kind of fluffy tail. I was eager to pass the second test so i was like "okay,I'm ready." He told me to take a apple and to get rid of the ants that were on the red wine colored arm chair.So I took the apple and started to squish the ants that were on the chair. When I looked at the apple i saw an ant ate through the apple and was kind of still alive.That's when the iguana thing started saying I have a tail like him. But his tail is more silky, softer and white. I was like oh and than he said dogs are smarter than cats. So I guess i had a cat tail. I also remember that in most of my dreams i turned out to be a light pink fur cat. [Not like the Spinx] Than that's when a girl with a tail appeared out of no where and started to argue with the iguana saying cats are smarter and better companions I think. Than I saw a image of a cute little kitty on a rock in a ocean where the mom passed by her. The kitten said something to its mom i don't recall and than I woke up.I was kind of lucid during the test thing but I should have used the apple to lead the ants off the chair, not squish them with it...Oh well. XD Funny dream.

LUCID
*Without mentally stating it I know that I am in a dream. Next thing I do is try to will someone I know up the stairs. Then a beautiful girl walked up the stairs. We smiled and hugged for a while. I looked closer to realize that this was my girlfriend but with a different body. Then came up with a good idea of manifesting photos that shows my past. The first pictures I did were just random things like portals and other stuff I couldn't quite make out. Then I manifested one that showed an apartment window as I looked closer it seemed to be my apartment from riverside. I thought wow I think this actually worked. I didn't look exactly like it but close enough. Then for some reason I started to make things disappear while touching them. In this dream I was just messing around with my powers.

NON LUCID
*I am at my old job sitting all the way back of the call center. I think this is a nice quiet place to work.

* Like yesterday, there were some extra cups of wine before going to bed...

.../It's a celebration day on the town I'm visiting from a long time. I see an aunt and ask her for her son, my fellow cousin to salute him. She tells me where he is, but I notice "his parents" are sitting in the same table and they're not too friendly. Anyway, I don't care and go to give him a hug. I try to make a joke about me getting drunk at the airport and sitting next to the airplane wheel just before the airplane starts to move. He doesn't get it. I think because of it has been a long time since we don't make jokes together/...

.../I'm walking on a road, getting in a town where its welcome sign literally states: "Welcome to the state of California. Our little DOF things" (DOF is written in overlapped capitals). Then I get into a bar where a DC-mix of some drunk people I know, invites me to have some beers. I accept although I don't feel motivated to drink. He gets angry with me, and throws the whole content of a bottle on a wooden wagon. Then he asks me to leave and threats me to throw a rock on my head if I don't go because of I'm being a killjoy. I got confused and decide to better go out. In the street, I see the DC going out turned into my dad. I'm walking on the streets, feeling sad. It's cold out here and I'm wearing just a t-shirt. I want to go to the apartment we rented with a friend of mine/...

* Apparently we rented that apartment in another dream and we live there with some other friends and family.

.../change one letter game could be bravest from breast...

.../I have to deliver something in the 14th floor of a house. The elevator door gets closed when I'm about to step into it. The door opens while the elevator goes up. Now it's just a platform and I can see the stairs and all the stuff around. I must stay standing in the middle. I see an old woman going upstairs. The elevator stops in the 15th floor. I get out of the platform. It's just a sort of stairs with huge steps that I have to go down. There's a big empty space in the middle. The woman stands in the opposite side where I am. I ask her to be careful, she says something and makes a wrong move, then she falls. I run to take a look down. She's sitting on a table talking with a girl friend. She mocks about something pointing at me. She's not dead. There's something going on here. I want to go downstairs very quick and think I could take a shortcut by jumping if it's what I'm starting to think. This place doesn't make sense, I know what it means! This time I don't want to jump due to the vertigo. I go on with the plot, I still have her delivery in my hands. I throw it close to her. She doesn't like it, I don't care. I look around to see how can I go out. I see some escalators on my side leading to a wall with a hole above it. I command them to stop. They stop and I have to climb to get on the roof of a building. I hear she is quite upset following me. I command the escalators to move again to squeeze her against the wall, but she gets out before getting trapped in the motion. Now she looks very young but angry, she wears like a witch from the middle age. She stands in front of me yelling something. I feel scared but I have to control myself. Using my mind, I throw her against some sharp spikes I see in front of the house. She gets impaled uttering some spell on me. Her mouth looks like a Venus flytrap and it opens to the sides. I command with my mind the spikes to open up. It finishes her. Now I see the dream in 3rd person view. I see a DC who looks like Harry Potter, getting out from my point of view, he gets close to a door that I previously saw stating it was level 13. Now it's time for another level, the number on the door changes to a lower one, and it opens to show a wall. There's a couple of brown werewolves getting out from a window. The female one has two bats flying like flies around her head. The traffic in the streets is weird. Most of the cars move backwards. The authority car has a toilette in stead of a seat, and the driver seems to be taking a shit while driving. He speaks with somebody with the radio. This place is weird and I'm wondering what have the werewolves to do here/...

* I have to point out about this one, when I started to write down some fast notes (which is really tedious due to the fatigue) I barely remembered a couple of fragments of the final scene in the city where I wasn't lucid anymore. It was not until I wanted to go back to sleep, when I was able to remember the whole lucid sequence. Then my scratched writing turned into something more devoted.

Successful WILD attempt, but I wasn't as successful in staying lucid the whole time.

I know I have to go in search on the witch who is holding Hansel hostage. I start out in my kitchen, trying to figure out how to get to the witch's cottage, and the easiest way seems to be to search by air. I fly up through the ceiling, crash through the roof, and flew Superman-style through the air until I spot the cottage.

Once I got inside, the witch chases me around a large table, trying to get me close enough to the oven to push me in. My clothes have changed at this point. I am wearing some kind of blue and white peasant dress that is really low-cut. This seems to get the witch to change tactics; before cooking me, she is going to pimp me out to make some extra cash. Now that's really evil. She brings in the first "customer" and I run away from them. Somehow find myself running past two coworkers. They are hiding merchandise in a locker, and I am curious about what they are doing. I find a larger group of coworkers and notice that one of them has changed her hair color. I tell her how much nicer it looks. Then I move onto the clearance tables and start folding clothes and rearranging everything to make it easier to shop. There's a woman who asks if I have a specific size, so I start reading off the size labels to emphasize that it's not here.

I'm walking with someone, I can't remember who.
The road is upward, around a hill. I feel tired but the panorama is really fantastic, with a lot of hairpin bends and rocks and a castle in ruins atop.
At once I feel observed and I look around me.
I see a friend of mine looking at me from a little wall over me.
He is with three women. I suppose one of them is his mother, and the other two are his younger sisters (I don't really think he has sisters!! But the girls looked a lot like two girls in The Walking Dead series!) .
The women are tired to go up and he is waiting for them to reach his position.
He is far away from me, but he is looking at me, and I like so much the way he is looking at me.
The women keep going up the road looking around, affascinated and talking between them.
My friend is always some steps ahead, waiting for them and looking down at me, from time to time.
I'm sure I can't reach him, so I decide to go down the road and wait for them to finish the visit to the castle.
I reach the valley where there is the train.
I go up and in a compartment there are two men (I suppose his father and brother) and the two girls.
I wonder how they reach the train before me.
I sit there waiting for him and after a while my friend comes with sisters and mum.
So I find out he has 4 identic sisters!
He smiles when he sees me, but then one of the girl drops a suitcase and it brokes.
I wake up. I'm happy about the dream and I recall it as soon as I wake up, still closed eyes, as I'm earing the sound of the coffee machine in the kitchen.
But at once I open my eyes and I find myself in another room. I didn't feel any movement, I am simply and without any doubt in another bed, colored sheets, perfum of aromatic herbs.
Everything is absolutely real and vivid, so natural. I feel quiet, fresh, and rested.
That friend of mine is sleeping close to me. I keep earing the coffee machine, so I know I'm awake.
I look at him for some seconds, leaning on my elbow, then I reach out my hand and I caress his face. I feel his skin so warm under my touch but I'm again in my bed, closed eyes.
