The LD(yey): [COLOR="#800080"]I sit in my bedroom's bed(the old bedroom I had) and I look around.I'm in the room with my mom,sister and dad.Looked like there were a lot of paintings and art things on a brown table[/COLOR] .[COLOR="#008080"]I suddenly realize I'm dreaming from no apparent reason.I tell my mom I'm dreaming but she starts to get embarrassed by it for some reason I don't know :|.I do some nose RCs but my mom keeps slapping my hand saying:Stop doing that! I try to hide from her and do the RCs.Laying in the bed I do the hand RC and I keep trying to count the fingers but had a hard time doing it.I stand up from the bed and do the hands RC again and realize I have 6 fingers on my left hand O_O(The dream suddenly got very vivid with some GOOD self awareness),Then I say to myself: Finally! I have a Lucid Dream! I do more RCs just to be sure(The nose RC that didn't worked).I close my eyes and try to spawn 2 persons.I realize I can't do that and tell myself that I must not waste my time doing that because I must have fun in the LD.I try to push my head through the window again while my mom is watching me and saying: What do you think you're doing?! I finally realize I can't do that and eventually open the window like a normal person and jump from it(I also done the push my finger through the hand RC because I simply couldn't believe it was a dream).I jumped on a tiny building with a green roof and when I landed on the roof I made a weird noise :/. I jumped then on the ground(made the same noise again)and saw a girl and I tried to scare her away apparently(With that noise and no idea why I wanted to do that) and she ran away.I laughed evily then see a black man and suddenly I wanted to be a vampire. I touch my canine and tell myself that it will grow or something.The left canine starts to grow and the right one couldn't grow because it fell.I give up on that and then a car comes and park in the front of my apartment complex. It's a black car with red lines and it had a tiny door.I said to them: Do you want me to enter in that car?The guy who drove left(there was another guy in there tho) and then I entered in the car and started to drive but I get too happy, I stand up and start screaming and things and the guy stands up too, he looks at me, I get a really really good and strange feeling and I suddenly felt some vibrations and then woke up.(Didn't knew if it surely was a dream but eventually thought that I was in the old bedroom and I was SURELY dreaming)[/COLOR]

Fragments from a dream : [COLOR="#800080"]I'm walking through the city and go somewhere I've never been before. I look around and there is a green bypath and around the bypath there is water with some grass and things.I walk on the bypath and then arrive in a place that looks AMAZING.There are 2 big fountains there.It was somewhere high because I could see the view with trees and all kind of awesome things.I keep walking and realize there are some nice white fences just so we don't fall from there(since it was a high place) I go up and there is the end of the grass.There is just a road with a car.I see an asian walking near the road,and then I say to myself: Wow,I never knew at the end of my city was this,I can't go further,It's too far away and I'm not ready for an adventure. I go back at the bypath and eventually jump in the water but I could hardly swim.I swim to the bypath.While on bypath,I see some people at the other side of it with some funny sporty things(I don't even know what they were) and I say to my friend that apparently appeared from nowhere that we should go there.She is in the water and she starts to drown and I yell for help and try to get her off the water.(I also remember at the end of the bypath there was snow)( I know that there is more of this dream,I just can't remember it)[/COLOR]

lucid
*The dream starts off as a FA, I think something feels really strange about all this could I be dreaming. I performed a RC using the nose plug. Yes I am indeed dreaming. I walk in the living room and decide to watch some television. At first nothing appeared just static, then I waited for a bit and a picture began to form.

It was scorpion from mortal kombat. He was just practicing his fighting skills. Then the show started talking about some kind of alien invasion. All of a sudden a lot of people were bowing. I thought who is everybody bowing to? I thought about the goal I had in mind before sleep.

I started to chant padmasambhava's mantra and hope that he come down from the sky I was looking at. Padmasambhava did not appear. Still a very interesting lucid.

I was in my room. I flew a bit, landed, and went through a wall into the other room. Then I went outdoors and was looking for a hole in the earth. I wanted to go under the ground, find Devil and drank a bottle of cola with him. I jumped into the portal and found myself in the banquet house like in the cinema, just before the old smiling man, looking like a famous actor. His smile was charming. I thought that he was the Devil. I turned around and found some bottles of cola in the ice. I took two and gave one to him. I drank it all and it was tasty, but a bit mix with water. I said – show me something interesting. He asked a waiter for a water, took it into the empty bottle from the cola, pour it on his hand and the water turned into money. I was impressed and I think I’ll try to make it in nearest LD. Then he became to count money and I awoke.

The day was 23/08/2013, I was residing in a very new and unfamiliar place, had a few weird dreams, this one however, was a complete nightmare, I was being chased all around town by a demonic figure, then It happened, I partially realized, that since this was my dream, I can try to jump and jump higher and escape it, but what i did not realize was that this was my dream and I could actually manifest that demon into nothingness if I wanted, but I think, I became Lucid for about 2-3 seconds, then I think I Woke up, I could not contain my excitement so I recorded it in my Journal right away. Now that I have tasted what it truly feels like to become Lucid, there is no other way left for me but to gain complete control over it, I am more determined than ever, I have new responsibilities now, much more work to do, but LDing will always be my top most priority, now all that is left is to condition my brain to realize that. Next time, when I write into this journal, I will definitely have quite a tale to tell.

Two, one is a fragment.

Dream 1 (fragment): I was at some house. I go outside, and I'm in a little bay somewhere in the city. I'm looking around for my car, but can't find it.

Dream 2: I was at my late uncle's condo. We're just sitting around chatting. At one point he just sits there with a smile.

And then I go "Wait a minute, he's dead." Lucidity obtained. The area starts shaking, and I just sort of close my eyes for a second and re-open them, along with clapping, to stabilize them.

So I jump out the window, there's a four story drop, land on the street, jump up to the roof immediately after. Looking around, I see that there's a lot of fog. I look back over the edge, and some dream character shows up and says "Don't do it." I say "Fuck you, here I am God," jump down and jump back up to the roof of another building [buildings in the area are 10-15 stories. Can't remember their real size].

Another random dream character appears, and says something. I look right and look back, bam he's a bird now and flies away.

Sadly I woke up after that. =(

I believe this falls under a "WBTB" as I woke up at around 3:00AM and fell asleep again at around 5:00 or 5:30AM. I woke up again at 9:50 or so.

lucid
*I felt like I had some degree of awareness in all of my dreams last night. Because there were so many dream I will just go over the highlights.
-Practiced teleportation over long distances.
-Flew a space ship to a different planet.
-Relaxed at a party looking over the most amazing city I have ever dreamed about.
-Chanted a mantra with a group of people.

Yes in all of these dreams I was lucid. Last night was amazing.

I dream that I'm in the desert on some sort of mission. It's a hardcore military operation. Our team is moving cautiously through the vast dunes when we spot a whole convoy of M1 Abrams tanks. My heart sinks at the sight of so many tanks.

However our team is very confident, and we stealthily make our way behind the convoy. When we reach the backside of roughly twenty tanks I suggest we C4 them and blow them away. I now run up to the back of the last tank and place three C4 charges on its backside. My teammate does the same to the next one. As I make my way to the third tank, he detonates the C4 without my consent, blowing up two of the tanks and disabling the third. I'm now absolutely livid and ready to beat the hell out of my teammate. However, I can't do this because the whole tank convoy knows where we are now! So we all spread out and run away to try and find dunes to hide behind. I find a very short dune and take pathetic cover behind it. I'm radioing in to my allies, wondering where they are. I peak over the dune now and see a tank's cannon turning and scanning. It now finally stops pointed dead on at me. My heart skips a beat and I get up and begun bolting away. The tank fires, obliterating the dune and luckily not me with it. I can't find anywhere else to hide now as tanks begin to fire at me. Then, I manage to find a huge dune and I go around it. When I reach the back, I find the entrance to an underground temple! I realize the risks that may be held in this temple, but I enter anyway. I'm confident if the enemy finds this temple they won't enter. I go down the stairs which are submerged in sand, and I find the first floor. Down here is a little girl, who is being quite noisy. I get pissed with her really quick and make her shut up. She doesn't know soldiers are probably coming to kill me, but she needs to be quiet in case they do. I now force her to lead me down further and further into the temple to decrease the chances of being found. A couple floors down we decide to rest. If I recall correctly a team mate also manages to get down here with us. I'm sitting up against a wall now. It's dim in the temple, with only one flickering light to brighten the area. Luckily there don't seem to be any traps. But that could affect us in the long run negatively. My ally and the girl now go to check on the entrance. As they leave, I now become lucid! Okay fuck this situation! I get up and move around a little bit and begin pondering fun ideas. First, I decide I should stabilize the dream. I fall backwards two or three times and now the dream feels so stabilized, and so clear. I move upstairs now, which turns out to be a club now. What? When did this happen? I now begun looking for an exit, and as I finally walk out the door I am awoken by my family. Fuck.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

Dream 1(fragments):

I wake up and it is really really hot, i get up and attempt to find what causing the heat.

Dream 2(fragments):

There was something going on at home.

Dream 3:

I wake up and someone hands is trying to choke me from behind, i easily get them off and look back while getting up, ofcourse that's 'attacker' DC, i recall that somebody told me on chat one day to try talking to him, so i ask him why he's keeping doing that, he responds but i can only partially hear him, some words get like skipped, but he says something along the line that "You are not lucid" and "This is not dream" or something like that, i respond that he's wrong but he keeps at his. I feel that it's pointless and start looking around, i am in square-ish room with no doors and exits, but two sets of windows. I look outside and it's daytime, i notice black scaled dragon from previous lucid flying in the skies, i try to call him and i get ready to phase through window/wall, but dream shortly fades out.

Dream 4:

I wake up and there's apparently 'another me' and we get stuck for a while since he repeats everything i do, soon though we manage to get up and unstuck and i notice that 'another me' is much smaller and at this point he stops repeating actions. I remember my goals and go for balcony door, it's closed, but i phase through it... only to get stuck in curtain behind it, again. And again this causes dream to fade and some random images appear. Not this time, not again. I focus as much as i can and get back into dream with the power of will.
I wake up again, 'attacker' DC is again here, i knock him out of the way and go for balcony, this time there's no curtain so i phase through door successful. Outside i take off and fly with my wings. I start looking around and soon notice that it's not true outside, but more like huge room with 'background' textures on the walls and ceiling, i almost fly into one of them, but manage to stop and grab into it. I look around some more but dream quickly fades out, and this time i wake up.

Dream 5(fragments):

I was playing some game and chatting with SilentEternity.

The dream started with me sitting in a bus, it was an unusually big one, and it was driving uphill in a small city. Apparently I overslept my target stop, but I was too far to just get out and walk back so I was sure to be too late, wherever I was going. I was considering what to do when I met S from my old school in B. He gave me a different thought perspective, and without changing my mindset much I became lucid and decided to just trust him.
(The part where we went out of the bus was missing somehow, though I'm sure it was right the next stop)
Then I was in a building, it was some minutes after 12 (maybe 12:03), he gave me something and ordered me to go upstairs to find some maintenance shaft, it was the second floor, top of the building. The staircase was like a 5m x 5m excision of an 8m x 8m square corridor, there were doors to other rooms all around, the doors were all open and it was rather dark inside the rooms. I searched but I didn't find anything, and at around 12:36 people where coming back and I had to hide.
Eventually the dream faded as my alarm woke me up, I snoozed it and went back to sleep for 20 minutes.
Surprisingly though I only lost my consciousness for a really small amount of time, and then perfectly resumed the dream, I had my first complete DEILD, without really trying.
I snuck back to S who was bending over something, he then told me that I needed to find an engine up there to put a micromodule in it, then some indefinable stuff happened and I found a maintenance shaft, it opened up for me and looked futuristic, a policeman was attacking me for some reason but the shaft closed behind me, stopping him from chasing me. I went into a morph ball mode and bombed some smaller Dominator devices away, now I was on a rail outside, it was day.
(The part with the Dominators and the engine with the micromodule came from the game Space Rangers 2, the morph ball from Metroid. Those things only started to influence the dream after the DEILD, so that might have something to do with it)

Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

Lucid #138: Hot Coals

Wife and I are searching the city for rare items that are needed to build some kind of important machine. We crouch on some dirt and gravel road and Wife draws a diagram in the dirt, telling me what I need to do to infiltrate a nearby house. When I'm there, I'm supposed to listen in on a phone call in order to gain an important piece of information.

I somehow make my way into the house and sneak past a woman who's busy preparing some food. Her husband, a guy in his 60s, is talking on the phone and walking nearby. I press my back against a column, trying to stay hidden. But now a clone of the husband is also on the phone, coming around the column from the other side. I realize that I can't hide from both the husband and the clone and become frantic at the thought of being discovered. I briefly consider whether this is a dream and my answer is "yes".

No longer worried, I walk through the living room into a large, spacious room with white marble floors and a skylight. I take a door to my right and step into some kind of sun room. The old man is standing by a door that leads outside and he gasps in shock when he sees me, saying, "You!" He's still holding the phone, and he clutches it to his chest.

"This is a lucid dream," I say, "so I'm not going to be doing this whole thing." I point to each of us in turn. He immediately nods, breaks character, and walks off like an actor leaving a movie set.

I leave the sun room and step out into a stone courtyard, the sky cloudy above me. There's a cheerful-looking guy with a mustache grilling some meat over a pit of hot coals that are glowing a fiery orange. Two women and one other man are standing nearby as well, looking relaxed as they watch him work. I wonder what I could do goals-wise with this scene. The Great Barrier Reef task doesn't seem like a natural fit, but I think about somehow using the hot coals to perform the "travel to Hell and have a beer with Old Scratch" task.

I notice that the vividness of the scene is pretty good and I finally remember that my primary goal right now is to try to enhance dream vividness. I feel a slight jolt of "oops" concern that I should have been focusing on that instead.

I have a weird thought that goes (and I quote) I'm going to stare into that crimson, chocolaty fire. I walk toward the pit of coals and the dream ends. I try to DEILD and get some rapid flashes of HI, but my heart rate is too high for me to slip under quickly enough.

Napping on the couch during the night: A nightmare of the vague, unseen, menacing, I'd-call-it-demonic-except-the-demons-in-this-dream-are-on-my-side variety starts to take hold. Since I think of this as associated with darkness, I summon 'the golden light of Apollo' which lights me up from inside for a moment and this does the trick, but Amon and the other demons around me look rather hurt/betrayed that I would do such a thing, calling on some light god instead of relying on them.

Fragments from 8 and 10:19 wakeups, having gone to bed at 7 am:

A man with a phobia of the upper class he's trying to join; the name Benjamin.

An immortal man offering another a light for his cigarette and saying "Here. Rachel's mother couldn't stand (this brand), could she? Now it's the scent of (a three-syllable name of a town in China, a place associated with another woman)."

My new wife, Julia, has drawn me away from my potion-brewing for the night, and as I carry her up the tower steps to her bedroom, she quotes, "And it was better that the beloved behold the tainted cities of Mephisto dreaming."

(Woke up at 10:19, and shortly afterward my neighbor started to play the drums. After half an hour I called him. Back to bed at 11, though I didn't get back to sleep for at least another 20 minutes.)

I'm riding in a car with my IRL sisters, and I notice that I can see the grand houses we're driving past even though my eyes are closed. I keep them closed for a while to be sure of it. I suspect I'm dreaming. I take out my sketchpad and start drawing what I see with my eyes closed - the inside of the car, I considered drawing the scenery but better to go with something that isn't passing so fast - but I find that although I can see both car interior and sketchpad, my drawing isn't enough to prove anything. We stop at a hotel and I've run out of drawing paper, and I go through an old sketchbook and find it's full of paintings from Shadow Hearts.

Dream briefly switches to Shadow Hearts scenes featuring two Alices, one 'real', the other either dead or the result of time travel shenanigans or a figment of Yuri's mind or some combination of the above. It's this potentially imaginary Alice who more closely resembles the version from the game.

Back to the hotel - my father's current IRL girlfriend comes to the hotel room to tell me to hurry up, Dad's in the car and waiting. I'm surprised since I thought I was the one waiting, all I have to do is stick my sketchpad back in my backpack and I'm good to go - but no, I see my sisters are already at the door too. My bad. I grab my things and go after them -

After I walk through that door there's a memory gap, but I wind up lucid, floating up and down through the levels of the hotel through a convenient octagonal hole in the floors leading up to a skylight. I stop floating around and look for a door to go through to change to a more interesting scene, but as I pass through the door I get a sense of danger, and immediately look for another door. I pass through a series of rooms this way, most of them halls filled with marble statues and skylights or balconies opening onto clear blue skies, but still with that sense of something wrong, until finally I open a door to a public bath filled with attractive people making out with each other. I have no particular desire to join in but it makes for pleasant scenery and the sense of danger is gone, so I strip and get into the water.

I seem to have gotten my timing wrong, most people are getting out of the water and getting dressed, but I'm not bothered by this. The doors on the far side of the baths are so large the view is almost entirely brilliant blue sky. Someone offers me a tab of acid, and I take one and offer one to another before handing the rest back to him, which he's surprised by. I wonder if it'll have any effect in a dream, and as I wonder this I decide to find a robe to put on. I remember the summoning-by-putting-your-hand-behind-you trick and decide to try summoning a robe - which doesn't work, but I walk past a stack of towels, and then a stack of clothes, and this seems to be the dream's response to my request. The clothes are slightly too large for me but I put them on anyway, listening to the conversations around me.

(Woke up just before 12:30. Resigned myself to a bit of sleep deprivation.)

Dream 1

I go to my local shop and I relaize that I have 3 paper rounds to do. I am not happy that I have to do 3, but I accept and say 'Yeah, I'll do it." The person who owns the shop pulls me to the side and says "You are a very hard worker, I heard your looking for a job at the moment is this true?"
"Yes" I say, expecting she was going to offer me the job.
"Where did you work before?"
"Wilkinsons." The conversation ended and I went to do the first set of papers. I literally remember delivering like 10 in the dream and getting thirsty so I decide to go home to get a drink. When I'm at home I look at the sheet of paper and the next place I'm delivering to is 'G.O.O.D Kid M.A.A.D City'

Dream 2

I'm am outside in like a pub or something. There are lots of tables everywhere and its night time. I notice on the table in front of me someone is drinking a drink called 'Lucid Dreaming'. Confused by this I pull the drink closer to me examining this drink and looking at the ingredients etc. I don't know what I was trying to find I was just curious. Then I decide its best to reality check now, it really did feel like real life. I do the nose plug and to my surprise I was dreaming. I think no messing about I want to go to space! I decide to fly straight up there, I go to take off get in the air a bit and feel the dream is unstable, so I land and decide to stabilize it.

I look closely at my hand, I look sat the palms, they seem much more wrinkly than usual and I examine them closely. I flip them other and my hands are looking weird. I look up from that and find something I can touch. Flowers it was, I done this in a previous lucid dream and it worked well. I chose this particular blue flower and started looking at it closely, it was only small, I felt the petals and it felt as you would a flower to expect. I finished stabilizing and decided I was ready.

I try to fly to space again, I jump in the air and fly as I usually would I get a few meters off the ground and I fall. I try a couple more times. Goddamn! Why isn't this working again! It happens every time I want to go space, I think. I imagined that space wasn't really that far in the sky and if I get speed I can reach it in a under a minute. I try hard to imagine it as I seem to be failing getting to space a lot! I notice there is a cliff edge a small run away from where I am standing. I think to myself, what I will do is run as fast as I can to it, gain a lot of speed jump off and fly to space from there. I begin to run as fast as I can, I am going very fast. I start getting closer to the edge and when I'm there I jump, I reach out like superman and I seem to fall again. This is the last I recall.

Dream 3

All my friends are coming on like some sort of road trip with me, we are going to like Cornwall in England but stopping at random places on the way. We are on the motorway and we decide it will be funny for me to get the skis out and hold onto the back of the car going down the motorway. I agree. So I get into the skis and I am holding on by a rope. We start driving down the straight going really fast, it must be about 80mph. This was quick, I just hoped I didn't fall off I was getting a rush from it. Then we come to a corner, still going quick we turn this corner, the car turns first then I go flying wide and hit the railings and crash. It doesn't hurt but I am lost. They have to carry on driving and they can't turn round and pick me up. I take off the skis. There was a small river next to these railings and round the edge was cocaine. I ignore it and jump over it. I decide to call my sister. I call her she was with my mum who was driving the car. I tell her to come back and pick me up I can't remember what she says. I am in some sort of abandoned town, I start walking and there is everyone. They were coming to stop the night here anyway.

The next thing I know, everyone is trying to jump from this one building to another because people are supposedly chasing after us. We put a log down to walk across but as I begin to walk across it falls down. Instead as the jump was only small I jump out and fall on belly as snow is there. I roll onto my side but keep rolling and fall off and have to start again.

This series of dreams were a little disappointing. I am embarrassed at how sloppy I've become. I made a number of mistakes and really didn't get anywhere with my goal. At least I got multiple lucids!

I took a longer WBTB than usual (longer than 5 min) with this one and got on Playstation Home Doctor Who pack and explored the TARDIS a bit trying to take in all the visuals of the inside. I think it would have been helpful if I had actually summoned one up or just materialized myself straight inside versus making the blue box first. I was worried about insomnia when I went to bed as I was super wakeful. I had to use my technique for falling asleep and abandon any lucid induction. I was surprised to DILD but with Galantamine it's almost effortless the first few hours. I really need to concentrate on my techniques after my mini awakenings instead of just falling back to mantra. It works... sort of, but I think the experience would be much better with a little more focus. A lot of times I just want to get back to sleep as fast as possible but still try for lucid. Mantras seems to be my fall back method during these times.

Coffee:

#216 - 3:25AM - DILD

I have an FA and find my self getting some coffee. The set up looks like work but its a checkout line at Wal-Mart. I try to grab a Styrofoam cup but they are dirty with holes in them. I move the to other side and see some clean new cups. I get coffee from the dispenser. Mary, the janitor is standing next to the coffee machine. I nod at her and walk away sipping my coffee. (No physical sensation or taste)

My cousin starts texting me while I am walking and though I cant read the words I seem to think that I know what we are saying to each other.

Suddenly, I am in my living room on the floor next to the couch. I still have my coffee in my hand but I am not really drinking it. I am in contemplation and I feel something is off. I am drinking more caffeine? This isn't a good idea if I am going to go back to bed and try to get lucid. SHIT! I should always RC after any awakening I do a nose plug but don't really put thought into it. I don't even know if I blew threw or not. Then, I hear someone going out the front door. It's my wife. She tells me that she is going outside to get something and I can hear the keys jingle in her hand. No. She should be asleep. That's not like her at this hour. I AM dreaming! I walk to the front door and remember to pause and take in the detail. I look at the door and notice it is very different than waking reality. There is a large window in the middle of it. It's wooden and the paint is weathered and peeling off. Then I forget this and rush outside because all I want to do is get in the TARDIS.

Outside the air is cold. Always the air is cold in lucids. Why is this? I enjoy the feeling of it, but I begin to notice that I feel really odd like I have a head cold and there is cloth wrapped around my head, chin to top. It feels heavy and I try to ignore it. I wonder if something is happening to my body in bed. I suddenly feel myself lying on my back and there is nothing on my head now. No don't want to do that. I focus and continue to walking with no other distraction. There is a street lamp to the right and void to the left. I let control slip a bit and just allow myself to wander in a random direction believing I will go straight to the TARDIS. I realize that I am walking barefoot but this time I feel like I am wearing shorts with a hoodie instead of the usual underwear only. Suddenly, I feel a sharp and realistic pain in my left foot and assume I stepped on a peddle on the sidewalk. I let out a whispered, "Ouch!" And grab my foot for a moment. I am shocked at the vividness of the pain but quickly put it out of my mind. I come around to the driveway side of the house and stop. I think it should be appearing now and can faintly hear that unique sound of it's engines. I get several brief and dim images of the TARDIS spinning in flight and appearing in various positions in my driveway. Suddenly, I hear the explosion of a gunshot from somewhere behind me. My physical body jerks in reaction to the sound and the dream breaks apart waking me up.

Mirror:

#217 - DILD - 4:29AM

I hear my son crying and my wife gets up. The light is on but I have a blanket over my face and lying on my left side. I try not to move because I think I am trying to WILD and I am still in the same position that I laid down. Something feels odd. I can feel the air of the ceiling fan on my face and my breath is not obstructed in the least bit. Then, I hear an electronic robotic buzzing sound from behind me and the blankets vibrate like a strong wind is blowing. I immediately know that I am dreaming and do not feel frightened. The sound stops.

I get up and am in the kitchen. I see my wife standing there in the doorway looking very sexy. I grab her and we passionately kiss like its the first time. After a moment, I remember my task and let her go. We can do this later. There is a coffee pot full of coffee on the edge of the sink. I laugh. What is it with coffee in my dreams? I spend several minutes aimlessly searching the house for the TARDIS but don't have any real focus.

Then, I see the front door, but it's not a door at all. It's a large mirror. I run to it intending to dive head first. I pass a DC. Was it my daughter? She says something but I am focused on the mirror. I can see my reflection as I get closer. There are two of me but for some reason I think it's normal. Then, as I dive there is no reflection and I focus on reaching beyond. I get stuck at the waist for a second and wiggle through. I stand up and realize that I went from a very clean and tidy version of my house to a very dirty and messy version of my house. I look around still trying to find a TARDIS but suddenly, the dream collapses.

I try to DEILD but find myself stuck in bed. I realize my head is floating and not touching the pillow. I roll into the floor and stop. I am in another bed with my head floating. I roll again, fall once more and stop on the floor. I suddenly wake up.

Fridge:

#218 - DEILD? - 4:47AM

I either wake up or have a FA. I berate myself for letting awareness slip again. I mantra, "I am dreaming." but suddenly realize that I either I never really woke up or I went straight into a DEILD. I say, "I am still dreaming." (from the times maybe there was not so much a gap after all.)

I am in the kitchen again. No... a different kitchen. I see a very large fridge and decide to turn it into a TARDIS . There only seems to be one light source in the middle of the room and the area the around fridge is cast in deep shadow. Feeling the fridge, I circle around it into the void phasing past cabinets and walls. I am blind now but my physical sensation is vivid. I imaging how the outside of the TARDIS should feel and it quickly takes shape. When I think I have it, I open my eyes. The sensation of my eyelids feels startlingly real. I pause a moment but realize I am hugging a huge blue box.

I excitedly step back but it just looks like some wardrobe with solid wood doors painted TARDIS blue. I become annoyed and obsessed with getting it at least somewhat right. I spin the front around and try again. I just want to see "Police Call Box" on the front before I go in. When I spin it back around there is some cheap ass black label with white random letters on it. Something catches my eyes and I look left. There is the damned Police Call Box sign handing from the ceiling above the kitchen sink.

I decide to let that go and turn my attention back to this half formed TARDIS. To my dismay, the blue box has turned to a type of plastic cardboard. I try to straighten it out and shape it back into a box but not matter what I do, the entire process is clumsy and the material becomes increasingly floppy and weak. I stop and realize the humor it in all. I take a moment and just laugh at it. Then I let out a mocking "WHOOOOHOOO!" I enjoy the sound of my dream voice and shout out again. Laughing I say something Doctor Who-ish, "Dumbily-Wumbily." I just laugh at myself and suddenly wake up.


The next time I wake is around 7:50AM with no other recall. For some reason I thought I had 4 lucids. The feeling of forgetting something is maddening!

Dream recall from today's naps.

Dream 1(fragments):

There was something about girl with psionic powers or something and some people tried to catch her, then there was fight on rooftops.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was at home and i had claw-like attachments on the foot that were apparently made from lego( ), and then i was playing a video game with SilentEternity. It was kinda sandbox game and unique thing about it was that it was controlled using... a pencil and a piece of paper, drawing something materialized it in game and removing something with eraser dealt damage to it. We were building some weird forts with weird physics applied to parts and then were fighting using eraser powers.

Dream 3:

At this point i wake up briefly and go for DEILD, i don't feel transition so i decide to risk and open my eyes, i immediately notice that placement of everything in room is apparently mirrored along the axis from door to balcony, it's also nighttime, but it's not as dark as for usually and also there are no lights outside.
I get up and go to balcony, dream destabilizes for a bit and i rub hands to stabilize. On balcony, i notice full moon straight ahead in the distance, pretty big and unusual, no wonder why it's less dark. And in the light, i notice something else in the distance, something flying. As i look more carefully i notice that it's a dragon. I immediately take off and fly, feeling my wings. Roughly halfway during the flight i strangely find myself back in my room, i fly through balcony doorway and in same direction, i see that dragon is still here. I find myself flying unusually quick this time, so i reach him pretty quickly. He appears to be black scaled. As i slow down and try to change trajectory to fly along... suddenly i find myself back in my room again, this time there's some kind of dark energy sphere which shortly transforms into a DC. He says something about time, which i can't hear well so i ask to repeat it but dream shortly fades out.

Dream 4(fragments):

I was chatting on skype with somebody(Probably SilentEternity).

I had been flying around in a lucid dream for a while. I was really just exploring the world I found myself in. It was bizarrely fantastic. The proportions of things were all over the place. Mostly things were much larger than they had any business being. It was also packed with people. I remember thinking to myself "this is quite the interesting lucid dream I'm having" and that's when I remembered the task of the month.

I turned around on this busy street and asked the first person I saw, a young woman with short curly red hair, "This might seem a little strange, but I'm having sort of an existential crisis. What would you say is the meaning of life?"

At first I couldn't understand her one-word answer, so I asked her to repeat herself. She leaned forward and said "Drive. The only thing that gives life meaning is finding at least one thing which really drives you. Something which so consumes you that you are compelled to do it. Something you cannot deny."

A passerby heard our conversation, a little brunette with dwarfism, "I couldn't help but overhear what you two were talking about and I totally agree. Even Zombies seem to behave with purpose. They have a hunger they cannot deny which causes them to pass on their traits, in this case zombism. Now, they didn't choose that purpose, that purpose chose them, but now we, we have that choice don't we?"

At this point the two girls started talking to one another about things I couldn't understand. I think they were mentioning groups of people they were having trouble with and rattling off names. I sort of realized that I must be in the faery world for all of this stuff to be so fantastic.

The brunette then said something to the effect of "you know, you're right. I've got something I've got to take care of." She then blew a small clear whistle, but no sound came out. I then heard what sounded like rattling, tapping, and scraping all in impossible rapid fire and so fast that the doppler effect was warping their tone. She rose one leg under which several corgi's carying various supplies ran under until the largest one came winding through the crowd with blinding speed to stop just under her. She plopped down, grabbed hold of the harness it was wearing, and was gone in an instant.

I thought to myself, "I have to tell Sherrina" (my roommate) and woke up.
