lucid

#221 - MILD - 4:27AM

I have some dream about being at the library with my wife and kids. I wake up and MILD. Soon I am laying on a floating platform and using a joy stick to control it. I am flying around in some large office building and want to get outside. I think to phase through the ceiling but find some glass doors instead. I see Ronnie from work smiling at me as I leave.

Now I am outside and become fully lucid. I decide that I want the platform to become a skybike. I concentrate and feel it morph under me. It feels soft like a pillow and I cant seem to form the handle bars right. I decide it doesn't matter and I don't really need them. I stop now thinking there was something I was going to do but I just can't remember. I look at the twilight sky and see 3 bright lights floating and morphing. recognize this as typical for me and look away. Still, I sit idle and my attention is drawn back to the lights. They move and morph like before and I stare at them in a daze.

The dream goes black for a second and I decide I should just investigate the lights. I visualize going there and the dream comes back. I find myself hanging on the wing of a passenger plane. I see people looking out at me through the windows and I punch the glass intending to let the cabin pressure blow the people out. Then I stop, thinking that it won't work that way in a dream. I "spiderman" my way to the cockpit and find it has a door like a helicopter. I open it and rip the pilot out. The copilot seems to be an "extra" and I politely ask him, "Will you be my co-pilot?" He makes no reply.

I look forward and notice that now I an driving on a country road at night. I think about trying the Hell task. I try to imagine a hole opening in the road but it doesn't feel right. I decide to try another way. I pull up on the controls and the plane goes up then I bring it nose down into the ground. We phase through it for a long way as the plane and all the people disappear behind me. I am now falling down a series of tunnels. At that point the dream gets dark and changes.

I lose lucidity and find myself looking at tunnels like in an ant farm but on a much larger scale. I am cleaning them with a large Q-tip and I see many roots growing in all directions. For some reason I think of this as my ear canal. I see some section that I think must be my ear drum. My dad passes by and I follow him.

Then I realize what just happened and become lucid again. My dad asks me what happened and I say, "I tried going to Hell, but you know that aquarium thing in the next room? I started cleaning it like it was ear wax." I wake up.

The 3 LDs I had this morning were bizarrely interesting. I changed my G dosing a bit with some unexpected results. Nothing went the way I expected and I think my lucidity levels probably wavered a bit here and there. This first dream was not quite as vivid as I had hoped to start with but as the dream went on it became more and more clear.

#220 - DEILD - 2:56AM

I wake up from some non lucid dream that I cannot remember and go into DEILD mode. I find myself in a type of void very quickly. I am glad for that because this time I want to form the TARDIS from the inside out. I reach out and feel railing with one hand. It's pretty solid right away. I follow the hexagon shape around the center console several times. The speed gets faster and fast and I start to feel a little like I am just spinning. I slow down and decide to try and feel the console. It's there but its fuzzy. I continue feeling with both hands until something big happens.

There is a klaxon alarm and a screen comes into view like some radar. I see one yellow dot leaving and two red dots coming my way. There is a computer voice saying, "WARNING. PROXIMITY ALARM." The first thing that comes into mind is that the Daleks have found me already. I am startled but also amused that I am in the TARDIS. I take a quick look around and see it looks very much like it should though a little like a video game (Playstation Home). I look up and notice the rings on the ceiling. I still have a strong instinct to run and that moment I hear the TARDIS engines make that unique sound. I know I must be moving on someplace else and become very curious where I'll end up.

I look back at the doors and just get a gimps of The Doctor leaving and I quickly follow him out. There is a brief confusion of light and color and then I realize I am in my house facing the door to the bedroom. I walk in and see there is no bed but two weeping angles coming at me from the bathroom and frozen on sight. I stop and stare at them being careful not to blink. I notice they look like they should in the face but they don't have the wings and are wearing actual clothes. For a moment I wonder if they are just vampires but decide they are not because they are following the rules.



Then I sense another person who is not The Doctor. Without looking I tell him to keep an eye on one of the angles. I glance over to see if he is listening and freak out that I stopped looking. When I look back one of the angles are gone! I assume it went around the other side and will come up behind us. I tell the other person to turn around and he catches the angel just before it gets us. I decide we have to dispose of these before something bad happens. (I wonder why I was so scared. It would have been cool to let it get me!)

Then, for whatever reason, my lucidity drops a bit and we both grow bird beaks and attack the angles. The feeling of it is odd and realistic but I don't let that deter me. I get mine in the throat and take it down then tear into it's stomach like a zombie. I am surprised that it is full of shelled sunflower seeds then the entire body becomes a mound of it. We both begin to eat until there is nothing left. My throat becomes very dry and I feel like I will choke if I don't get a drink of water. This thought brings my lucid level up a bit and I stop what I am doing. I force myself to ignore the feeling in my throat.

I say, "I was supposed to find NyxxC" I look over at the other DC for the first time and see that he is a Skyrim looking Orc. He smiles at me and starts to giggle. I get the feeling that he has become horny and realize that we are all too now alone. I also come to the realization that I am a woman. I realize that I must be the female companion of The Doctor. This dream has gone all wrong. I was supposed to be The Doctor and NyxxC the companion. I rudely say to the big dumb Orc, "Not going to happen. Forget it." The way I say that reminds me of Amy Pond. I ignore that thought and I walk out for the room looking for NyxxC.

I go out onto the front porch and see my ex wife sitting there. I think lucidity dropped completely here. We talk a bit and I cannot remember the conversation. She says something like "Her Baby." I know that she calls a name... Gloria. I feel like that not only am I a female but I am a female O At some point and for whatever reason, I call the Orc outside. His name is Balrog.

Then I remember my lucidity. I walk away from my ex a bit and look up at the night sky. The stars look about like the do every morning in waking life when I go to work. I turn to my ex and ask her, "Where is The Doctor?"
She seems confused, "Who?"
I repeat annoyed now, "The Doctor!"
She replies, "Doctor Who?"
At that moment I hear the TARDIS engines. When I look, the TARDIS is vanishing from the other side of my front porch. That SOB left me I decide now is a good time to wake up.

I was in a hotel lobby of sorts. The walls were shiny, black face brick. Like onyx. There were also chandeliers (gold) hanging from the ceiling. There was also a reception with a few faceless individuals standing around it going about their business. (I didn't actually take the time to pay attention to these people) I looked on the floor near my foot and there was a board. It was shaped like a ripstick except without the wheels. I stood on top of it and it began to move slightly. I wanted to move forward but had no idea how. It was then that I realised that I was dreaming.
I 'willed' the board to move forward by imagining what that would feel like. The shift in gravity, the adjustments to my balance and the subtle breeze that accompanies a fast acceleration. I sped about around the corridors of the lobby until I hopped off and changed my surroundings. I made the walls join with the floors to form a ramp so that I could carve along the walls and down again. The last thing I remember doing was forming a deep tunnel, like pit and free falling with the board into it.

I was really surprised by this dream so early in the night. I had only been a sleep 3 hours and had quite a bit to drink before.

#219 - DILD - 12:29AM

This is a little foggy in places but the first thing I remember is some image of a normal woman sort of melting into a pool on the floor and transforming into something hideous. My friend Jana shows up and I somehow understand that this is her nightmare. I tell her that the next time she sees this she just know that she is dreaming and take control of it. I say, "Look of this is just in your mind. It's probably stress or unresolved childhood issues." I look out side through a glass and there are larger than life bills stacked up. I point, "See?"


I realize something at this point and feeling surprised and a little unsure by this I stop and stare at her. Her appearance comes into sharp view. I say something like, "This is a dream isn't it?" She nods then I for some reason feel like we are sharing a dream. I say, "Are you lucid?" Again she nods. I become extremely excited and jump up and down grinning. She looks at me like I am an idiot and tells me something like, "Calm down." I realize that I could wake myself up so I do just that.
She then, takes my hand and pulls me out of the area that we are in. I realize this is a mall and we must have been in some store.

There is a little gap in memory here but we basically wonder around as she leads me on. There was something about CanisLucidus. We make our way into a small hallway. The floor is tiled and there is a potted tree in the corner.

I see the creepy lady at the end of the hallway coming our way. She looks a bit like Martha Steward and I know that she will turn into the monster at any moment. I tell Jana to just run past while I take care of her. I know that I can control the situation and I run toward her. I jump and somehow land on her back. I press my hands on both sides of her head and concentrate. I tell her that she will not change. Jana runs past and I jump of the woman. I tell Jana that she has to believe that she will go away. I look and the woman continues walking on like nothing happened. I say, "See? It's no problem."

Almost forgot a lucid dream last night; I'm a lil' disappointed because I only thought about teleporting and it was kinda small, but I guess it's still pretty cool.

Lucidity: 7/10
Control: 7/10
Vivacity: 8/10

I'm in a sky scraper at night time, lucid. A bay windows let appear the roofs of the other buildings around me. I feel like teleporting. I don't want that one kind of teleporting that you use to get to a completely new place, I only want to do it some meters away (like in my last lucid before this one) because I want to be able to use it in a fight. I brusquely contract all my muscles at the same time and instantly teleport in front of the bay window. I observe the scenery for a little bit and decide to continue on with teleportation. I punch the window (which is kinda useless but whatever) and break it. The's a chimney sticking out of a roof, and I contract my muscles again. It doesn't work this time, so instead I just visualize myself on the chimney and that gets me there.
Yeah but that's kinda lame
I want to try it again and teleport back to the building, with a 360 spin (teleporting at 180). I wanna get to the chimney though. I jump, make a 180 turn and teleport where I wanted to be, with another 180 before I land.
That's cool, but the spin threw my balance off, and I fall off the roof. As I fall down (I'm at around 15 floors high) I notice a bald guy (The Youtuber "Edbassmaster") and he looks at me in a pretty creepy way. I concentrate on the ground and teleport safely on it, one hand on the ground. The weird guy comes at me and starts a conversation, making me loose my lucidity.
(...)

So I found myself walking the stairs of my basement, I already knew I was lucid.

I kept walking down the stairs, but I had a great fear and it just felt scary and was extremely dark, but there was a spotlight in the middle of my basement by a wall, I feared what was behind that wall and I just kept walking to it, and suddenly an attractive women jumped out and I was so frightened that I fell down in slow motion and the dream ended right there.

Two lucid dreams!

First, I was at this weird house. Zombies were following me and I kept running, but they kept showing up everywhere. It was a huge house with underground tunnels. I finally found a group, they were hiding inside a room. They let me in, so I stayed there.

There was this really cute girl and I ended up going to bed with her. We started having sex, but she kept changing. I mean, changing the colour, the weight, the height. I was like "well, okay, this must be a dream", since, you know, I was a guy and had guy parts so I figured I could change her. I spent the rest of this lucid dream enjoying the sex and changing her appearance. To be honest, it was very low lucidity and I didn't even remember I had goals, I just... wanted to keep having sex with her...

Second dream, I was inside a room. It was dark and I was supposed to be asleep. Then, a voice, a man's voice, it was deep, started telling me that I had to go to FB and look for a girl. He told me her name and her last name. I can only remember her first name now, though, so I guess I'll never find her. Sorry, deep, unknown voice. Maybe next time.

It was very unsettling, though. I thought I was going crazy, then I thought it was God. The voice did make me believe it was God, but it was like... trying to find me a girlfriend. I have no idea what this was about, but it lasted such a long time, he REALLY wanted me to find this person on FB.

I tried (in my dream and in real life), but in my dream, I just couldn't find her. The names kept changing and I couldn't read properly. In real life, as I said, I can't remember the last name...

A fragment. I'm going to Argentina on Sunday and my mum keeps telling me everyday that I need to think about the clothes I'll take. In this fragment, my mum had taken the clothes that SHE likes (we don't really agree when it comes to clothes) and was packing for me. I got mad and started taking the clothes I wanted to take.

Another fragment, I was playing a game where I was Stitch (from Lilo & Stitch). It was a very poor game, you could only go forward or jump. I couldn't fall in the water and I had to jump on the little rocks. I failed to jump on one, then little birds showed up and saved me.

Third dream, I was walking around when I found this place... it was like a huge farm, it was very well protected. They were accepting people to live there. Considering the zombies (yes, they were a problem in this dream too), I thought that living there would be good.

I got there and this cute girl told me that you could only get in if you were carrying fruits or vegetables. Well, guess who was suddenly carrying a HUGE bag full of nothing but fruits AND vegetables for no reason at all!? That's right, this guy here! So I gave them my bag and while I was waiting, the girl who had warned me about the fruits and vegetables thing got told that her bag wasn't good enough, it was infected by something, so they told her to leave. She looked really sad, like that was her last chance, so I quickly pushed her inside the place the people with good bags were supposed to go. She was surprised, but there was no time for that. She was wearing a headband, I took it off and told her to stay quiet and next to me.

We sat down on a really comfy couch and waited. While we were waiting, we started talking and then flirting. I got hard (had guy parts in this dream too, thanks, brain!) and I had to cover myself. She started laughing and two old ladies also waiting wanted to know what was so funny. I turned to them and showed them that my glasses were foggy. They thought that was indeed very hilarious and they laughed too.

A woman finally called us both, she had two papers. One was for me, the other was for the girl. The girl found out that women there had to wash clothes and cook food, and she wasn't happy about it. We got sent to our rooms. She went before me, and then a guy stopped me and asked me what her book was about. I suddenly knew that she was writing a book about this place and that it was a dangerous thing to do. I finally looked at him and went out "dude, she told me, but honestly, I didn't pay much attention, her boobs were totally distracting me... she was talking about girly stuff, like makeup and lipstick and that shit" and the guy laughed and said "yeah, that sounds like something a girl would write about, thanks, bro".

I ran to her room and told her "your book is about makeup and lipsticks and whatever else you can think of that goes with that, okay?" and she nodded. There was a little girl there. She had been in this place for some time now and she told us to be careful, they had cameras in all the rooms and she showed us the camera in the girl's room. We thanked her. The girl then asked about the classes. This place apparently had a good education system, and that's why she was there. The little girl said there were no classes at all, we were all slaves there. The girl freaked out.

I went to my room. The girl's room was just like mine, but she had made it homey already. Mine was cold and I didn't know how to organise my clothes. I got sad and left.

When I left, it was already morning. People were going on a tour or something of this huge farm. I got there late (even though I was there at first?) and the guy was all "you think you're better than the others?", so he turned around, shut this fence-like door and left me on the other side. I jumped over it (it was three times my size) and caught up with him. He was surprised and asked me HOW I had gotten there. I told him I jumped. He just shrugged and said "I'll have to make it higher, then" and that's when it hit me. He didn't know I could fly!

I laughed at him and said "make it as high as you want, it won't matter!" and I jumped and went super high. Then, I realised it wouldn't be good for him to know my secret. I rewinded the last part and instead of saying anything and flying, I just laughed a lot at him. He thought I was crazy. I ran and found the girl and the little girl. I kissed the girl and the little girl left cause ew kissing. The girl pushed me away and was all "wtf?" and I apologised, but I was super happy cause I had found a way of us leaving that place for good.

She asked me how and I told her we could fly away. She thought I was crazy, so I told her we should go now. I climbed up some stuff. I made her climb up some stuff too, but I was higher than her. I thought about the little girl, but then I got this warning that I had chosen to save the girl, and that I couldn't take two people with me (in real life, I've been playing a video game where sometimes you end up having to choose to save one person out of two, so I just accepted this). I looked below and thought "okay, what if it doesn't work?"

Then... of course it'll work, it's a dream! I said "here goes nothing" and jumped. I started falling and was falling pretty fast. I doubted for a second that I could fly, but then I was already floating. I remembered my last lucid dream, where I had learnt that pretending that I was swimming made me fly faster, so I did that and my flying got stable. I got to the girl, she climbed on my back and we flew away.

I woke up.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps. Was really ultralow awareness on that MiniLD. Also that's quite alot of missed FAs...

Dream 1(fragments):

I woke up at home and there's something about some fight.

Dream 2(Fragments):

I was in ship at some sea, sailing kind of ship, there was a team and we were searching for something. At one point we have arrived onto an island made fully of sand.

Dream 3(fragments):

I wake up and get interrupted by family member who decided to watch some movie about witches in my room, he throws me some magazine. Then i wake up again and get interrupted by what i think is vivid HH with stuff leaving afterimages.

Dream 4(fragments):

I woke up, typed up dreams and there was some image hosting site that was asking for money while saying that it's 'free'.

Dream 5(fragments):

I am on some beach and i have to mark some position on water, as i swim somebody says that something is not right and i get the feeling that i am dreaming, i swim around and find some kind of window floating in midair that leads indoors, then dream fades out.

Dream 6(fragments):

I was watching some long gif, that was more like video, it even had sound! It was about some fraxy boss that somebody just finished. It was kinda humanoid but was made out of deforming polygons or something, one of his attacks was transformation into a huge scythe and striking through most of the screen. Then other attack pattern involved summoning smaller(but still pretty big) scythe and another scythe made of energy. The boss was pretty glitchy and had too many phases which were animated but didn't had any actual patterns, then there was last attack that spawned 4-5 small blue homing scythes and some glowy orb.

Dream 7(fragments):

I was playing some strategy game.

non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening

(...) I meet a girl who is struggling with cancer. She is a concerned that she is getting too thin no matter what she eats. I try to help her recover her self-esteem. Somehow I feel she is redirecting her anger and frustration with being sick, to how she looks. I tell her it's normal to loose weight due to the treatments and the consequent lack of appetite. I tell her about my friend who died of cancer and the things she went through. Not so cheerful, I know, but then I offer to help her with her diet to see if she can get back to the weight where she feels comfortable. She actually gets a bit too fat, but still her frustration continues. One day, I'm taking her to my beach house to relax, but people are being evacuated from the beach because the ocean is a bit rough and also there is a giant shark close to the shore. She decides is the perfect opportunitty to put an end to her life by jumping from my balcony to the ocean. The waves reach the balcony and we risk being dragged by the next wave coming, the shark is just below, but I decide going after her and bringing her in. She calms down and apparently all goes well from then on.
This beach house is amazing, like a glass cube, but not so much privacy unless I keep the curtains close. But on the next day after the storm, I enjoy the radiant sun with all my curtains open and forget about it. Decide to do some workout fully naked. Bad mistake. After a while I realize there's some 2 or 3 guys watching me from a nearby location and having the time of their lives. I feel so embarassed, I grab the first piece of clothing I see around and run away. It is my pijama and when I notice, I'm on the elevator to the outside. Not a well thought decision. I find myself in the middle of a crowd in my pijama.
Then I wake up, but I feel I am lingering between sleep and awakefulness and attempt to WILD. I have the strangest experience, because I start seeing people, I realize, I'm back in the dream, but I am also moving my body on the bed but unlike other times in which this is enough to stop the dreaming, this time I could continue consciously dreaming with my eyes closed, while I was fully awake and moving my body. This has started to happen since I was able to have what it feels like REM during sitting meditation. Somehow it's like I turned on the ability to REM and dream while awake. Or maybe it's called hallucination

This is my first DJ post. I'm hoping people enjoy my DJ's and continue to read them ^_^

Red - Non Lucid
Green - Semi Lucid
Blue - Full Lucidity

When I appeared in the dream, I found out our school was having a game of rounders with another school. (A game similar to baseball) I was on the pitch watching my Captain Alex give us strong speeches to help us win the game. As he was playing I saw some of my friends from my other schools who I have not seen for many years. I didn't really speak to them but I just went to the toilet because I needed to wash my face.

The toilets were incredibly clean, I had no problem walking about and there was no liquid on the floor. I went to wash my face when boom. I became lucid.


I was so excited. I was shouting in the bathroom that I was lucid. My second lucid dream? Well, I'm going to have some fun with this one. I said to myself you are going to transform right now. But I guess there was a lot of doubt on my mind which I have to correct for my next dream. But anyways, instead of leaving the pitch I decided to head back to the pitch, speaking to my old friends for a while and getting to know them more. Then after speaking them I decided I wanted to try a tutorial on using a phone to help control your dream.
I made a phone appear in my pocket and I was playing around with it. I was just about to download a God App when I woke up in my bed doing a weird position with my legs.

Pre bed: 200mg valerian

Total sleep time: 5 1/2hrs, external factors, very tired

Early fragment: many iPhones

Early fragment: I am talking to someone about how I'm about to ld

Woken up, WBTB, insomnia

Fragment: some sort of toy head that is spinning in the water

LD fragment: I am in our old place and see lots of people on the stairs, including an older lady who passed away years ago. After seeing her, it dawns on me that it's a dream. I make a sound to acknowledge the fact that I recognize her as a dream sign (also for the first time!). Not sure if I said something or not to her or others there, but I head down the stairs and exit the building. I think about visiting my friend but this time decide to go to his work since it's really close.

I am on the street now, but feel that the dream is starting to destabilize, so take a moment to fix that. I remember the behave as if real life, but can't figure out how to apply this at the moment. Instead, I turn back to where the fence is and start touching the stone, feeling the surface. It doesn't do the trick and I feel I have very little time left so I just observe whatever is in front of me as I see and feel the dream as if made of liquid energy (same image but like underwater) being gently sucked in an unknown direction until it turns to a light feeling in my head and I find myself in bed..

DEILD: I remain still and fall asleep more from being tired than from trying to DEILD. Yet, I end up in an ld that I unfortunately no longer can recall. Not very nice but it happens.

LD: After the previous dream fades, I find myself in darkness, but it's actually a room. It takes a while but then I can see just a bit better to orientate myself, confirm by the feel of it that this is a dream and that I am in our place. I am slightly amazed since I don't get many lds here. I go to the living room and decide I will phase out the window and press myself against it. However, it feels way too solid, I know I can do it and refuse to believe it's not working so push myself forward. Nothing. I become confused, thinking I may actually be sleepwalking around the house. I decide to go out the good old fashioned way - through the door. I am thinking about doing a quick review of the dreams so that I don't forget. A guy appears in front of me, sitting on the couch. He is quite a good mirror of my thoughts and emotions. Initially, he looks menacing, but as I contemplate what to do here and have a moment of sexy thoughts, he immediately becomes more appealing, making gestures with his hands "come here". Then I tell myself to calm down, inhale exhale metaphorically, sit and relax and he stares at me neutrally.

I am thinking something about the previous dream and wonder if I have performed some tricks to enhance this dream's stability. I wonder if I tried to go to bed in the dream as a way to change the scene and since I feel kind of stuck here, I decide that I will try to do that now. As I go to sleep, the guy lies behind me, pretending he is falling asleep too. I fidget way too much, also get a few moments of are my eyes open or closed, and don't try to open them, until I finally succeed to move my physical leg and wake up.

I woke up but couldn't takes notes on time as I involuntarily fell asleep again.

08-29-2013 -- [Short dream with not too much to it, that turned out to be quite detailed and long.] Something about cats, other animals, and possibly digging holes in the back yard at the Hickory house. Something else about BC being around. Then I find myself in a classroom setting. It feels very like a high school class, though the teacher is Julie Davey. No idea what the subject is. I've just finished a test of some sort, and it seemed somewhat quick and simple. I seem to be spending the time afterward brainstorming some fiction writing or something, perhaps a Victor story, when Julie comes by for my test, surprised I am done so quickly.

I explain I think I did quite well, and she agrees, knowing how I always seem to test pretty well, and I start rummaging through my things until I come across the newspaper clipping we were supposed to be reviewing after the test. Glancing at the picture, wondering what it is about, I see almost a full-size model of a rocket, made out of huge balloons, and am thinking how I've made a similar ship out of a 160 and a bee body many times.

Julie looks at the clock, and it is just a couple of minutes before 5:30, so she tells us to start gathering our things, and get back to a more usual seating arrangement than the random groupings we'd been in. I end up sitting next to a cute blonde, waiting for the last couple of minutes to end, and we somehow seem to be talking about how about half the class had left at 1:30. Perhaps it was an optional class or something.

Class is soon over, and I find myself approaching Dale's house. I almost seem to be floating over the Nabisco plant to reach his driveway. (Considering later in the dream I am lucid and do some flying, perhaps I was flying here, as well.) I am driving a car, but as I approach their driveway, I remember something about them repaving it, and I walk up carrying my motorcycle, trying to get it on the strip of grass next to the paved driveway, where all their cars are parked, right now. (In real life, that strip of grass is at most a foot and a half wide.)

I find myself passing three animals that seem to look a lot like wolves, and I am a little worried, but not much. Then they shift and sit up, then start to hop off, and I realize they aren't wolves, but kangaroos, and wonder what the heck they are doing in Buena Park? Somehow I seem to be soaked, so I am taking off my pants and shirt and dropping them on the cycle, and wrapping myself in a big gray towel. About that time, Kevin wanders out of the house, says a couple of sentences of what seems to be gibberish, and then climbs in a car and drives off, which worries me. (He's not allowed to drive.)

I open the door to the house and walk in, only thinking about what I might walk into to barging into somebody else's house without knocking after I get inside, so I kind of bashfully knock on the wall. Fred and Betty are in the living room, and they don't seem to have minded my walking right in. I spot odd movement on the floor, and find myself looking at an odd white and pink puppy that seems to be a cross between a bijon and a poodle, though the coloring looks like some of the white and pink snakes I saw pictures of on the internet a few months ago. Soon I see two more wiggling out from under the blank. I ask Betty "You got new dogs?", kind of surprised. She tells me they don't know if they will keep them.

I have brought a cheap pizza with me, and open the refrigerator to put it in there, and see they have maybe 3/4 of a huge 26 inch party pizza from Ciro's sitting in there, pepperoni and sausage. Wish I'd known ... I wouldn't have bothered with the lousy one I got. I'm thinking I have to see if I can snag a couple of slices. Meanwhile, I am trying to find Dale, so I walk a few feet down the corridor to his room, but when I glance inside, he has a couple of girls in there, with him. [Not doing anything wrong ... this isn't that kind of dream.] I'm thinking about razzing him about it, until I realize I am still walking around wrapped in a towel, and decide I had better get some clothes on. It seems today is a big ball game of some sort, and they have a lot of people over to see it.

I walk outside, wanting to get my clothes, but somehow the area has changed a little, and I have to climb a fence (like we were going to visit Bertha) to get back to where my motorcycle is parked, I finally find it, and grab my blue shirt and start putting it on, just to discover I am putting it on over the top of another one. Somehow a shirt and pants just appeared on my body, and I realize I am dreaming. I try to hop the fence back to Dale's, but somehow I seem to be being pulled in the opposite direction. So I leap up and try to fly, and manage the flying, but am getting sucked at high speed toward what was the Nabisco plant. I go crashing through a wall, and find myself standing in a room surrounded by people.

It seems I have somehow been kind of summoned, as I am now surrounded by lots of people, and they have called me to be a candidate, as they try to figure who they want as their candidate for president. There are a bunch of other candidates as well, and they are talking to people, making speeches, and all of them are holding on to their wives. Every one. I look around and see an attractive blonde (she kind of looks like Reese Witherspoon) watching everything, and I grab her and pull her to me, just kind of joking around. She turns to tell me off, and our eyes meet, and wow! It's like we suddenly know everything about each other. Her head kind of tilts to the side as she studies me, and a small grin starts to form on her face before I lean in and give her a gentle kiss, then wrap my arm around her shoulder. We're now a couple, and very happy to have found each other.

But she is working here, and has things to do, so I have to let her go for a time. The others and I are writing speeches and songs or something, and I am singing a little ditty I've been working on. It's not fabulous, but it's not too bad, either. But one of the others makes a really nasty comment about it. I turn to him, ready to rip into his song, but I don't really want to run that kind of a campaign, so I have to settle for simply telling him his needs some work, too. Besides, I don't really have all that much interest in singing some kind of political song. Instead, I decide I want to sing to my new love, and am trying to remember the words to a song I wrote about 18 years ago called Love with Me. In waking life I can remember it fine, but in the dream, it was a struggle. Meanwhile, I have no voice, so I am not going to be able to sing well, but I hope the words (and the fact that I wrote it) will still have meaning to her.

Dale is here, as well, and we are wandering around the convention, and for some reason I am carrying a fire hose with me, though it isn't spraying. We're just approaching a stadium, and preparing to look for seats, and I am wondering just how much length this hose has, as I've dragged it a pretty far distance by this time. My new girlfriend shows up, and I drape my arm around her shoulder, lean my head against her, and just relax in the wonderful feeling of having her there next to me.

This was yesterday morning. On my phone so I'll be brief. I WILDed early, around 7am I think. After the vibrations, I knew I was dreaming, but I couldn't move my dream body, and I couldn't see. But I was able to imagine that I was gently rolling off the bed, and I landed on my feet on the bedroom floor and I could see. I went straight to the floor and pushed my face through. A tunnel to hell formed, but it was quiet, dark, and not much fire. Which actually seemed more creepy. I called down "I'm coming down!!" and I saw the devil poke his head into the tunnel and turn to look up at me. His eyes reflected light, and I was scared for a moment. My fear caused the devil to change into a more docile form (CL if you're reading this, we need to talk about how emotions really drive the dream setting and characters). Anyway, the devil turned into a chubby old black lady, still with the eyes though. I yelled for a rope to appear, and started down, but I woke up. I deilded and did the exact same thing, only I tried to summon beers on the way down, woke up again. Deilded again, this time skipped hell and went into the kitchen. I went blind on the way, but I could still feel so I kept walking and made it to the kitchen and got my sight back. I saw an old woman looking in my fridge, and I recalled the basic task! I asked her the meaning of life and she said "I am a good ___ and a good leader." I didn't hear the first work so I asked her to repeat. She said "I am a good dad, and a good leader." Lol ok. I woke up.

So, thought my life, I have had three dreams I might consider lucid dreams. One was also a false awakening, which you can read about in another entry. I woke up in a different room, realized I was actually dreaming, and was terrified. I also remember having one around the same time that may have been a lucid dream, I was again, trying to get out of it. I knew what I was doing but somehow couldn't get out. I dunno. Then I had another, but I honestly forgot what it was about. I also think these are lucid dreams because even after 7 years, I still remember the fragments clearly, in perfect detail.

I wanted topmost, one time when I was six or so, I had my first first false awakening. I think it may have also been a lucid dream. I woke up in a room that wasn't mine from another dream, it was purple. I couldn't escape. I even realized that I was dreaming, which you can read about in other entries.
