I AM DREAMING
I had this dream a few night ago just trying to catch up on my dream journal.
I was out with Laura at some restaurant eating wicked food having a ball and its like 4am in the morning and i get a call to go to work in a few hours time to go diving.
I'm like for real cant you get someone else to do it?
I'm like dude its 4am in the morning and he hangs up on me. I get home laura is pissed i get no action i roll over get a few hours sleep and rock up to work at the dive shop.
They give me one student i'm like WTF
You got me to finish a great night for one student and i miss out on getting laid are you for real.
Everyone else has like 3-4 students and there are 2 other teachers and you give me one so im like what ever lets go.
We end up in phi phi island and we get out there via jet ski's.
I take down some kiwi girl who has dived on the east coast of NZ so i know she is going to be a fish its nice and easy so i don't have to worry about her all too much. The dude that call me up dived near where i was with his students.
My student and i go down do the dive come up and she is on the boat. I was going to catch up with that dude that ended my night because i wanted to bash the shit out of him. Then all of a sudden
everyone is screaming out "Whale" "Whale" "Whale"
I look at him and it turned into a race and hooned out to where the whale is. It was a humpback whale everyone was trying to touch getting photos i just sorta hanged back and thought to myself they have all gone japanese on this whale the poor thing.
I went to touch him and i couldn't touch him there were 2 many people there. The whale started swimming off i was like fuck this i'm on a jet ski i went around to him and as he was swimming away i put my hand out and touched the whale. I then felt the whale and i did a pulse out of my hand and he stopped dead in his tracks. I then soul merged with the whale and as i did it i looked at his left eye and his pupils dilated. 2 souls become one. Wow this was most intense feeling i have ever had in the dreamscape come to me i mean i actually felt it like i was there. The best way to describe it was if you physically touch source and embrace pure white light. It lasted for about 20 mins. At this stage i knew i was dreaming. This was a more then Lucid feeling it was like source telling me congrates you put up with all the bullshit i threw at you in the dream you worked it out now enjoy my reward and don't get me wrong he does this all the time that is what dreams are lessons. You get to the final destination now enjoy the feeling you deserve it. My heart was racing and the dude that told me to come out to work that day was next to me. I was like take a photo dude quick and he tried but he didn't want me to look better then him he didn't want me to get a photo.I hate that jealousy. I grabbed his camera and threw it in the water. lol
I was Lucid so i created a waterfall under his jet ski he lasted about half a second and was out of the picture real quick lol
I let the whale go and he swam off making his whale sound good bye. I then had a news reporter come up to me and was like awesome.
I'm like yeah i know but you know what i did right and he looked at me confused, i merged souls with the whale right i told him how to do the merge then he said don't worry i got a camera we can go get a photo.
I woke up like 5am in the morning and i could not get back to sleep i normally get up b4 lunch this was not going to happen this morning.
BEST DREAM EVER TO DATE!!!
I love Whales.
I would pass up getting any action from any female any night of the year to do what i did lol
Merged souls and i learnt that in Avatar Energy Master. Thanks Michael Monk and Peter Collectiveconsciousness Shelton

8:15am
Time Lucid - 10 seconds
Non lucid - grey text
Semi Lucid - red text
Lucid - blue text

I woke up and tried to focus on the scene in front of me. The scene was as if I was only peaking through to the seen. I felt as if I needed to force it open. I tried to force it open but I'm not sure if this bought more imagery on. I willed my dream body to get up, and I got half way up from the bed, then flouted back down. I tried again, and this time I completely got out of bed. I did a RC (Checked Hands) and knew I was dreaming.

I was now lucid. The scene felt hazzy/not vivid enough. I did not stabilise the dream, instead rushed over to the bed room light switch and tried to turn it on, which failed. I saw a shadowy figure get up off of my bed and ran towards me. I flung my hand out and felt a a bit of a thud sensation. It definitely didn't feel normal. I felt no pain. I woke up.

The shadowy figure surprised/scared me which ended my lucid dream and woke me up.

Note:
I need to focus myself on stabilising the dream. Both DEILD's have ended with me getting up out of bed in my bed room. I will attempt to imagine another location as I walk through a door next time.

I AM DREAMING

So Peter brought me too some Island and some pirates of the Caribbean theme i was drinking my Lucid Dreaming tea, i was out there digging for gold, and i had my mum telling me what too do i don't know why i didn't kick in and say I AM DREAMING the last thing i want is too be nagged at in my
dreams by my mum lol.

Felt like i was setup in this matrix/ basement room i could see black fear come at me in different forms.
Jeremy Poulin was in my dream last night and he morphed into some actor and next minute i was in a zombie flick with Jeremy
LOL
i couldn't stop laughing it was too funny and Peter stopped when all i did was laugh i and went too the next dream i guess scary shit your not meant too laugh.

Now its were it got interesting i had alot of shit come at me i believe i messed up got the first 2 programs wrong
I could see there image go from human too this black fear image looking thing i knew it was fear dead on.
Had a few things try too eat me then i saw 2 avatars next too me in the same dreamscape i remember these 2 rats coming at me.
I had enough.
I looked down and said I AM DREAMING
Went Lucid.
Saw a couch and decided too have a lie down but it didn't end there Peter sent the rats at me and i ripped them apart by this time i was up off the couch and like COME ON what else are you going to throw at me NO FEAR kicked in. I was ripping stuff apart with my teeth i didn't give a shit all i had was my bare hands i wish i would of manifested something a little more civilised.

I grabbed what i thought was another rat and i threw it at the TV and cracked it and said oh shit sorry i felt sorry because i broke something in the dreamscape i should of not done that omg there was a tv in the dreamscape wtf
I should of been cheering because it was a TV i hate TV's brainwashing shit. i actually felt like i broke the dreamscape.
Talk about a nice roller coaster ride of emotions. It went from trying too wake up to go to Lucid to attack fear too feeling guilty, i gota get the feeling guilty more under control.
Nice Dream good too see the fear getting thrown out of the window.
Thanks Peter that was a nice one last night.

booya Lucid

I AM DREAMING

HH Experience.

I woke up and I heard foot steps on the floor boards as if there was another dog in the house. It was walking up the passage way towards my bed room. I'm not too sure If I did this during or after the HH, but I put my hands under the blanket to see if my Dog was there, and he was. I was tripping out a little, not realising that this was a HH experience. I felt something jump onto my bed, and walk towards my back (Sleeping on my side). I was thinking to myself WTF? is this a ghost or something. I thought maybe it was my dog which passed away earlier this year, and that it may have been his spirit going through the house. I didn't even check if this had been a false awakening or if I could move at all. I was just observing what was happening and staying calm. I think I had drifted off to sleep not long after.

DEILD (7.00 am)

Time Lucid - 3 to 4 minuets
Non lucid - grey text
Semi Lucid - red text
Lucid - blue text

I had been training myself through mantras to stay still and keep my eyes closed for a few days. I was successful in doing this and focused for the DEILD attempt. I didn't really do much, except do nothing and wait. I could now see a scene of my bed room, as if I was seeing through my eyes. I knew that I wasn't awake due to the fact I had my sleeping mask on. The scene was vivid and had little speckles flouting through out my scene. I figured it was time to try and enter the scene. I tried to get my body up out of bed and did it!

I didn't get too excited. I checked to see if I was dreaming and checked my hands (Had 6 fingers on each hand). Lucid! I left my bedroom and walked down the passage way and tried to turn the light on so that I could observe my house easier. To my surprise the light switch didn't work, which gave me even more confidence that I was dreaming.

I went back towards my room and expected a girl in my bed room (Yes, my penis has got the better of me, once again.) I expected a girl called Tahan, she is a Big Brother Australia contestant. I looked around and noticed that the blanket was risen as if there was a body under there. I got under the blankets and felt a body. I grabbed a hold of her body and started to have sex with her. I couldn't see her face, as it was dark. I was having sex in a awkward position and for some reason, and didn't want to move too much, thinking that I may wake up.. My dog Rex tried jumping on top of the bed, so I pushed him down and continued having sex. I decided to do a couple reality checks that I wanted to test out. I tried pushing my tongue through the roof of my mouth, which didn't work. I heard of this reality check not long too long ago, where you block off your nasal passages so you can't breath. It worked! I will definitely add that to my hidden reality checks.
I lent backwards so that Tahan could get into a better position, but unfortunately I woke up before I could finish.

What. A. Night!

Early fragment: something good about a DV member and lds

Dream: me and parents are living in a street shop that is a house. The place also reminds me of a cheap hotel room. I complain about all of us having to share the toilet. I want to do the laundry before we go out. The neighborhood is very bad too.

Fragment: mom wants to play golf because she can't wait for me on fridays?

Fragment: I am examining a large bullet that has been fired already and wonder if it can be used again. Some guys are after me, I run to the top of the building.

late-WBTB&WILD: As I am falling asleep, I expect to see a scene form in the darkness and think about my hands. I appear on a dark street, make a few movements to properly get in and stabilize and then my body begins to float up. I decide to control the flight and will myself to fly up but reach a certain height maybe about two floors high and the float/flying stops and I slowly go down. I wonder why's that and try again with the intention of going to the roof of the building this time. I float up but the dream ends and I need to get up too.

Dream 1

I was at like and olden style theater with my school. We are sitting across this long wooden table and at the front of the theater a screen drops down, they go onto youtube and searched 'Black Hippy - UOENO Remix.' I was thinking 'Wow, this is an epic song, surprised they are playing this.' I didn't expect any of my classmates to know the song but as soon as it started playing everyone starts singing 'I fucked up the rap game and UOENO it.' We all sung the whole of Kendricks verse and the music stopped. I get up and there is this simulator thing in the middle of the floor. You walk right in front of this screen and look in the air, the screen played a guy flying in the air. It felt like I was actually flying. It ends and I come off think 'Woah, that was really good.' I notice that my ipod is on the floor covered in snow. I pick it up hoping that it isn't broke.

I am then in a hallway and I know I am lucid. I do no reality checks or stabilization stupidly. I stood there thinking goddddammmn this feels real. I want to go space again, I want to take someone with me though. I see a DC walking, he is tall has long blonde hair and wears glasses. I grab him and attempt to fly. I can feel his weight pulling me down, so I land again and drop him off. Im still in the hallway, I think I'll fly to space then! I take off and fly vertically towards the wall expecting to fly straight out. But no, bang I hit the wall taking a bump on my elbow and fall. 'That is quite funny' I think to myself. I evaluate ways to get to space. I then decide as there are a lot of walls to push through one and end up in space. I've never tried this before so I had practice on the wall in front of me to end up in the room behind it. I put two hands on it, visualized where I wanted to end up and pushed. I popped through in the next room. Cool. I then go up to the next wall, I begin to visualize space, I imagine darkness, stars and a planet which looked similar to Saturn. I woke up.

These might not be all of the dreams I had.

> Might think of this one later.

Edit 2: I'm not sure when I had this dream, But I dreamed of the scene from The Andy Griffith Show in which Rafe Hollister was in jail after having refused his vaccination and Andy was singing "Dig my Grave" Or whatever the song is.

> After a pirate routine and fighting with someone the thought of making kids with Satan (Who was a female dog or something) came up. I (Or whoever I saw through the eyes of) did not do that but thought about it.

This was near and island of some sort and I recall a boat or swimming.

It was (I think) Highly influenced by this video which I saw in the four hours prior to sleeping:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdCgPc5wrcs

And now after I went through the video comments and thought of the video some more, yes it was. I even remember the bats in the dream, Somewhat. I met Satan on a boat, On a raised part of it where the floor had mostly fallen off or was damaged.

I also recall someone moving around on the island which had trees but in general was very dark.

> Three kids had super-powers of some sort

I recall seeing in a house and in the bedroom where the kids lived, I thought of Fairy Oddparents but I never watched the TV show, And an image of one of the (Cartoon) kids had "655" on his shirt when at first I thought it may have been "666". I think it was explained how they got their powers too.

> In a warehouse?

> There was a lucid one or fairly lucid dream at some point of the night.


Reason for editing: The title said this was on September 3 but it was September 6.

No entry for yesterday since I'd rather it not be public, but for documentation's sake I did dream about Dave Strider again like I'd intended! Bro, too! I also became lucid briefly to change the scene twice so I was pleased about that :) Tags/categories for that dream are: lucid, memorable, nightmare, fandom: Homestuck. Now for last night's:

1.
Jake trying to get our mom to buy him a subscription to something on the computer, a game? She won't because she's too busy with job stuff at the moment, and Jake harasses her, asking exactly what she's been doing this whole time since she has yet to gain a single client.

After/at the time this is happening (idk) I'm looking at a Dragon Age mod for a new character race called 'Fajjyn'?? The character is a slightly creepy-looking female with deep eyes, grey skin and bright red hair. Then I hear a short police siren and when I look outside I see the light from a flashlight shining on houses, but the light is pink.

2.
I'm on the floor drawing with Brandie, using paper and pencils. Somehow she is really fast and near-perfect, and I get frustrated because whatever I draw isn't that good. She tries showing me her technique by drawing a rock, and I copy it but the rock looks too flat. We practice more til I create some decent-looking rocks, but unlike her small, smooth stones, mine are large, black and jagged things that pile up in sheets, literally! As I keep drawing, the rocks become real.


notes: During 1, I was feeling upset with Jake for acting that way but I wonder if it's my subconscious worrying that my mom will back out on everything after she's put in so much effort. The drawing dream definitely came from my worrying about being good enough when it comes to my art. But it was cool to draw something into existence, I'd like to try that again sometime!

Also, I had intended to dream about Dave again, but if it happened, I don't recall it.

I'm on the street crowded with people. Something is different so I decide to do rc with my watch. It shows 0:20, 0:40, 0:60. I think this is just a timer. I jump and the gravity is wierd. I'm dreaming. I fly to the air over a meadow with flowers. I land in here and doing my stabilization technique. I also eating flowers for better stabilization. It doesn't taste very well, reallly ). I remember totm so I decide to take my phone from my belly pocket. It's there. I call my mum. The conversation is going like usually but I dont speak at all. I try telepation over the selfphone. I ask mother about something just in my mind and she is answering like usually. The dream quickly fades. A card appears in the darkness. I don't remember since then, probably I wake up or lost lucidity.

9/6/2013, 10:10-6:25

Regular Dream Lucid Dream Awake

I went to sleep after meditating, repeating the mantras, "I remember that I'm dreaming when I'm dreaming," and, "I remember my dreams when I wake up." During meditation, I repeated those mantras, too. I took a drink of water, went to the bathroom, and went to bed with the air conditioner on.

Dream 1:

I remember a Sith base, and people running around it. I was watching from the ceiling, but it was really a camera dream, without me being in an actual body. I watched as the base was apparently under attack.

I woke at 3:21 (with a reality check of course). My dog seemed to need to go outside, so I went out with him. It was cold out there. As he took a piss, I looked up at the stars, and tried to sort out any constellations I could find. None. I then got back inside, drank some more water, took another piss, and went back to bed at 3:26. I couldn't really sleep because I was thinking of too much about my dream from last night AND my dog was barking a lot. I eventually got frustrated and put him in my neighboring room, where my grandma was sleeping. I eventually got back to sleep.

Dream 2:

I remember playing Empire: Total War. That is all.

Dream 3:

This one was a false awakening. I went out of my room and started reading a book on the living room couch. Then I started noticing that the house was vibrating! I went downstairs into the basement and noticed that the house wasn't completely on the ground. It was lifted up slightly by a piece of wood. "That must explained the vibrations," I thought to myself. I probably thought the boiler was making the house vibrate, combined with the house lifted up slightly. (In real life, it probably was the train passing.)

I eventually noticed the illogical sense behind this, and turned lucid. A sudden rush of energy and vibrations came over me. I heard a sound similar to a helicopter starting up as I turned lucid, too. I suddenly imagined the TARDIS (probably as a reality check). I suddenly saw the TARDIS levitating off the ground, and me, as a camera, rotating around it as I lifted off the ground. I then tried to do something else, but I "pressed the wrong button", and accidentally opened my real eyes. I woke up to the sound of my dog barking again.

#224 - DILD - 4:00AM

I wake from another highly vivid dream at 3:40AM but I didn't become lucid. I was too pissed off at my wife because someone gave her their child and she brought him home. I yell at her and explain that this is illegal. Besides she didn't consult with me before she did it. On top of it all I find the boy in an overflowing diaper in the back bathroom with a strange dog. From the looks of it she had them both in there for several hours if not all day. I was furious that she would do something like that.

I when I wake up I realize that I didn't mantra with WILD and I lost awareness really fast. So this time I include it. Though I didn't WILD I was happy with a DILD as well as the extreme vividness of it all.

The first thing I notice is that I am lying flat on my stomach. There is some small square packets that I think of as some type of lube. I can hear the audio from a very cheesy 1950's instructional video explaining that this lube acts like a like a liquid condom and spermicide.

I sit up and see that I am in a darkened class room. The video is over and the other students are leaving. I make sure I am the last to leave as I am unsure of what is happening. Standing outside the door, I see a very sexy teacher dressed in a dark blue and black dress. She has long black hair pulled back. Her skin tone is on the pale side and I notice she is watching me with a flirty half smile. Her dark crimson lipstick makes me notice the shape of her mouth and I want to kiss her. I hear another student in the distant mention something about going to lunch. I say to the woman in a suggestive way, "So. Do you wanna go get some lunch with me?" (Not the greatest pick-up line but hey it's a dream ) She immediately throws herself into my arms and passionately kisses me. I think this is risky and we will get caught doing this. Then I remember that I am married but quickly dismiss this thought as false. She is the one married but I don't really care right now. I think of her as someone I know in waking life though she does not look like her at all. Feeling confused by all of this, and thinking that I am missing something, I stop the kissing her. I leave knowing that she will meet up with me at our usual spot.

As I step outside, I notice the countryside and immediately become lucid. The school is seated in a impossible valley with beautiful green rolling hills. There are no other buildings for as far as I can see and the sky is a pale and cloudless blue. I begin to fly low to the ground taking in the beautiful scenery. Soon, I begin to lose control and a strong wind destabilizes my flight. I decide to stop here and settle to the ground. When I turn back to the school I see the same woman lying in the grass waiting for me. She is on her back with one hand on her brow and the other resting the flat of her stomach. Her long shiny jet black hair is spread out on the grass beside her like a silk carpet. For the first time, I notice her eyes are a deep majestic and other worldly blue. Her crimson lips part slightly like she is about to speak. The sight of her takes my breath away and l lose all self control. I begin making out with her passionately. The feel of her lips on mine are as real as waking life. Once we begin having sex I fight against it and wake up a little but I relax to DEILD and re-enter anther part of the same dream.

I am still lucid but I have no control. I am looking over her shoulder from a third person perspective. I see myself sitting near but not with her in some type of foyer of the school. I am not myself but some overly mature high school kid. Probably a senior. She looks down at her hands, then quietly and sadly, she whispers, "I am not happy with my marriage."
With a look of annoyance, I shrug and say, "You think?"
I float around around to get a better view of our conversation but at that moment the dream goes black and I wake up a little.

I start to DEILD again but this time I start to form the TARDIS. I begin to feel the around the console rails but I stop myself thinking I should record the previous dream.

I have several other short vivid dreams after this but non are lucid.

#223 - WILD - 2:26 AM

My body begins to feel odd and I take note. I think I have had insomnia and I am finally getting into the WILD stage. I question weather or not I am deep enough but I fall for the classic mistake of expecting vibrations. I never get them but after a while I notice my legs doing really odd jerking/popping motions. I try to ignore it and just focus on awareness.

After a little longer and a series of random and confused images, I hear my son playing in the other room and the sound of the TV. It sounds like some kids program. Suddenly, my wife calls me to come help her. I suspect this is all not really happening but I am not quite sure. I open my eyes and look at the clock to check the time. It reads: 5:0L. At first I think the alarm should be going off but the "L" really stands out at me. I think I have to be in the dream for sure now.

I get up and go to her, curious what she wants. She is at my son's crib and hands him over to me to change his diaper. I take him out of reflex and I feel a little unsure now if I am really dreaming so I ask, "Are we dreaming? This is a dream right?"
She nods and agrees that this is a dream. I put my son down and say, "Well, I don't want that! His diaper doesn't matter now!" I do a few nose plugs then just to make sure that I am not being an ass in waking life. Satisfied, I turn to the door and tell her, "I'm sorry, but I'm leaving now."
She just smiles, "That's fine."
I stop, "Oh wait come with me!"
She nod's again and I pick my son up and go out the front door not bothering to check if she is coming or not.

I step off the front porch an hover across the yard with my son in my arms. The big Oak tree is a brilliant shade of green in the bright sunlight. I become distracted by a sound coming from the neighbor's house. I feel somewhat restricted holding my son now and decide that he can walk. (He's just now learning in waking life) I set him down and believe that he can walk and keep up with me. He does.

There is a kid next door that used the live at the house on the other side of us. He's messing around in the yard next to a giant dark blue pet carrier. For whatever reason, I smash into it, knocking it over. Then I pick it up and try to throw it on top of the house. It doesn't go very far and I try it several more times. Then I question why I'm even doing this and turn around to go back to my son. I don't see my wife anywhere but my son is tagging along behind me. I try to remember my tasks and after a moment I remember to sing the ABC's. I turn to sing to my son but he has disappeared now. I sing to him anyway hoping he will come back. When I get to "QRS" I pause. I can't remember rest for a moment and have to think really hard. Finally, I blurt out the rest of the song without any problem.

Now the dream is destabilizing a little, so I lay flat on my stomach feeling the sidewalk with my hands. I try to think of the next task but for some reason I think it has something to do with posting a joke on DV about Choline. I reach into my pocket and pull out my phone. There is some white text on a blank black screen that looks like a "tiny url". I try to memorize it to see if it loads an actual web page later but it seems pretty hopeless from the get go. I try to log into DV but my phone just will not work right. I mess with it for a while before I realize this wasn't even a TOTM. Now, I suddenly remember that I wanted to walk up a wall.

I run to my front porch and think of gravity shifting from the ground to the wall as I step onto it like I've done a few times before. When I reach the ceiling I do the same again. Now I am hanging there upside down but the dream goes dark on me again and I wake up.

I got super lucky on this one. It was a very long lucid. I went to bed late on the couch, then woke up, went back to sleep. Did that maybe every 2 hours until 10am when I could finally sleep undisturbed for a couple hours.

I drifted off to sleep, and immediately had a dreamlet of me reaching over and checking my phone. I knew I was dreaming because I had just go e to sleep and I did t need to check my phone for anything. I immediately left the bedroom and was greeted by my dog, Daisy. She was super hyper and jumping all over me, and then a second Daisy appeared! They were all over me and I felt I may wake up. So I just relaxed, pet the 2 Daisys, and felt the dream get more stable as I recalled the advanced task. Perfect, I'll just walk up the diningroom wall. I also remembered the ABCs task, so I thought I would just sing it while trying the advanced. I put one foot on the wall, then as I tried to put my other foot on the wall, I fell on my back lol. Like in real life, but I had a tiny moment of hover. I tried this maybe two more times and fell. I did reach the end of the ABC song at least! So anyway, I tried a spot of wall next to an open door, and I used the handle to help me once both feet were on the wall. Then I walked right up, no problem. I got to the ceiling, put one foot on the ceiling, and immediately felt my work flip 90 degrees. I got both feet on the ceiling, and it felt like strong magnets were holding my shoes in place, yet I could take steps with little effort. It was amazing, I felt the blood rush to my head, and my hair was hanging down. I really felt upside down, really cool.

I don't remember how I got down, but I wanted to try walking up the wall again without the doorknob. I thought maybe a run and jump would work, and it did! My feet stuck right on the wall, and I was able to repeat the process, this time in front of the diningroom mirror. I cod see my hair hanging in my face.

Again I don't remember how I got down, but I wanted to try again, this time just walking straight to the wall like it didn't matter. When I did, I fell again. Oh well, run and jump worked at least haha.

Still lucid, I recalled the call a dc task. Should be no problem, since I've done it before in lucids. But never with a cell phone, and that's all I had at the moment. I don't know about y'all, but trying to find contacts on my iphone is hard enough irl, much less dreams, lucid or otherwise. I would find a contact, then the screen would scroll away from it when I tried to click it. After alot of trying and failing, I finally came across "Kevin M." from college. Haven't talked to that boy since like 1994. But I called him and he answered, but he sounded like a drunk Texan, instead of the straight edge Norwegian I remember from college. I asked if this was the same Kevin M that met me in a H4H build in 1994, and he said it was him. I asked why it didn't sound like him anymore, and he said in a thick drawl "Because I turned into a drunk Texan, I hope you don't judge." I said it's all good, I got enough for the task anyway.

The dream was STILL going, but I couldn't for the life of me recall the 4th task. In this moment as I'm typing, I still don't remember it, so no chance. I started probably losing lucidity a bit at this point, but I remember I went to the bedroom and say DC Danny. We didn't speak much, but I was messing with some stuff in a drawer. My finger got stuck on something sharp, and I was like "wtf is this?" And Danny said "it's a fishing lure." So it was. I took the little hook out of my finger, and was admiring the pretty red feather lure attached to it, when I noticed that in the same basket in that drawer, was a couple individually wrapped condoms. I said "I don't think you should keep fishing lures with the condoms baby, seems like a bad idea." I was already kneeling on the floor because this was the bottom drawer, so then I just kinda lay down on my side on the carpet. I could feel that I was about to wake up, and I thought to myself, "Yeah, that's enough for this dream." And I woke up on my side, in the exact same position, in my bed.

The lights in my IRL home won't turn on. None of them will, and I think of the darkness as a danger, which makes me wonder if this is a nightmare. I start to head down the stairs, by floating, head first. Yes, this is definitely a dream. I start to do my light-of-Apollo anti-nightmare trick, which after 2 uses appears to be my go-to way of avoiding nightmares now, but then it occurs to me that while I'm here, I could enjoy some lucid dreaming instead. I decide that there is no ceiling, so that when I look up, I'll see the night sky and be able to float up into it - and then I turn over and am pleased to see that this is so. After I've floated up into the stars, I look down to the house again to put the roof back on, and then, as if it was just a task I'd briefly delayed and had to get to now, I start up the anti-nightmare trick, and wake myself up in the process.

(5:08 am, just half an hour after bed. As I was trying to get back to sleep, it occurred to me - this has happened a few times now, nightmares with this timing and on the theme of darkness - I'm starting to suspect this is the result of trying to sleep before dawn. Possibly on some level I'm aware that it's much darker than when I usually sleep, and my dream interprets that as something wrong. Reliable way of getting lucid, though, so that's not really a problem. Back to sleep.)

Fragment: "Ancient papers, and an age a fraction of that."

I'm discussing an upcoming ball with a young woman I'm acquainted with, leaning against her desk while she goes over the invitation, pointing out the bit where they encourage everyone to dress colorfully, and she, thinking herself quite clever and looking for me to praise her, tells me about the black outfit she's planning, so that she'll stand out in a sea of bright colors, and she asks what I think. I tell her I expect that's exactly what the people throwing the ball are planning themselves, so perhaps take that into account. She reconsiders, and asks what I'll be going with, as she can't picture me in anything but black. I say not at all, my basilisk coat is blue, isn't it? - it's entirely black except for the basilisk design but that's enough, and I think about the feel of that dark blue color, the warmth of that creature's image on my back. As I think about that coat I either am or am referencing The Etched City's Gwynn.

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

OUAT's Belle is binding Rumpelstiltskin in a contract without realizing it. She was speaking in metaphors and he's got to abide by them literally. While the two of them were attempting to patch things up between them after a fight, she asked him to pretend she's the mistress and he the servant in their deal. He, sitting on the side of her bed, is thinking that they've done this before, thinking of a particular scene in which Julia was a princess and I was her servant, and how utterly beyond my reach she'd been then. (A scene from a dream I had years ago, accurately remembered as far as it goes, though he left out the unflattering parts.) He's been silent too long, and when Belle says something, he jumps up and makes a game out of it, addressing her as milady, going to her window and throwing the curtains open, asking what she'd like for her meal. And although she didn't at all mean that he should literally treat her as his mistress, only that she wanted him to think about things from her perspective for a moment, she's not surprised by the game and she takes it as a sign that all's well between them again, so she gets up to make breakfast herself.

As she leaves the room, she finds a strange object in a corner of the hall - a statue of a unicorn that she hadn't noticed before, with what looks like a real horn. She knows Rumpelstiltskin's been after such horns, so she's wondering why he leaves one just lying around here - unless this is what he makes out of them. She thinks it's odd, and goes on about her chores, when she finds another one, smaller, in a window sill. She knows that wasn't there before, and she calls to Rumpelstiltskin, and turns to see that he's already found the first one, and is looking at it with obvious displeasure. This is something that shouldn't be in the castle.

(Woke up. That last one was almost certainly influenced by watching Legend the other day.)

This dream is incredibly long so I'm only going to type up the lucid part.

I was walking through a dark field with black dirt and dark grey brown twisted trees with occasional rundown stone buildings when I realized I was dreaming and went lucid. I suddenly decided that instead of doing anything with super powers, I wanted to...well... So using lucid means I made a guy appear from around a building and using even more lucid control, managed to get his and my pants off, because apparently this guy didn't want to do anything, but I only managed to get a few minuets of doggy style action before I woke up. I did not give up. I went back to sleep, trying as hard as I could to go in lucid, and It worked. I was in a dark run down building this time when I called the guy lucidly and repeated the same steps and got the same results. I woke up again at the same spot. I realized I must have been trying too hard and would try something different. I managed to go back to sleep a third time, this time I didn't really pay too much attention to my surroundings, but I think I was in the woods. I went into the dream lucid again and called up the guy a third time lucidly. This time I took things slower, using half lucid influence and the other half letting him do what he wanted. We only got to our cloths getting taken off, and before anything happened he said he wasn't in the mood and walked away. I probably gave him too much independence and not enough lucid control. I gave up and went along with where this dream wanted to take me.

This dream was very interesting. I won't go into details but the gist of it is my dream character was trying to find a husband and had to choose between four different guys. In the end, she ends up with no one and my dream does a 30 or so years later bit about how she sees the guys again and finds out how happy they are with their spouse and kids, and she is sad that she never found anyone for herself. Then she sees that one of the guys in on his death bed and visits him before I wake up to my alarm. Anyway, I can't believe I was able to go lucid in so many dreams in the same night progress.
