Lucid Dreams
Cant remember the first part of the dream but I was driving down a back-road very fast and I noticed that I couldn't really gauge the speed. I felt that same watter-y-ness to the air that I experience in dreams and had a strong hunch that I was dreaming. I did nose check after nose check and they all cleared but I had to make sure since I was driving. Once more with my foot I felt like I couldn't gauge the speed very well and so I decided to look down at my hands. I did and saw an outrageous number of fingers and instantly was 100% positive. I then looked forward onto the road and saw that not to far away was a turn. I had this almost devilish thought to see what would happen if I went full speed at it. I pressed my foot all the way down, petal to metal and me speed started to grow. Then I had this sinking feeling that it could end bad or I could wake up. I decided to slow down but at least step on the break and get to enjoy a really cool burn out. I did so and the car shrieked to a halt. I drove up this huge hill where it looked like a casino was on top. When I got out of the car I focused my energy into my right palm and shot an ice ball out of my hand at the casino. I remember smiling a little at this but I could tell it wasn't enough. I paused for a moment and really looked around me. The sky looked like shades of orange and purple, the sun was MASSIVE and setting slowly. Big shadows stretched from objects. I went to do my 3 jumps super mario style to fly bout found this weird heaviness in the air and I wasnt really motivated to do the third jump to fly. My jumps were very short. I have never before had trouble flying in a lucid but I did here. I decided to see what my subconscious had in store for me inside the building but as I approached it I woke. Bits and pieces are whats left of this dream. Was at someone house, a social gathering. Everyone in the dream was a DC except for myself and this guy in high school who used to have a huge crush on me. I was sort of ignoring him and talking with the other females at the party. We were standing on a lavish balcony all wearing black cock tail dresses, drinking white wine out of wine glasses. Suddenly a bunch of spiders crawled onto the deck by my feet. They were pretty big and normally this would have really freaked me out but they looked just like the spider monsters in Diablo 3 and I had this urge to step on all of them with my heels until every last one of them were crushed. One even got into my hair and I batted it out and crushed it. )Seriously proud of myself here, this would normally be a nightmare for me). Some time goes by, something happens were there is an orgy upstairs and everyone has moved inside and is laughing about it. I go to text Allen that I missed him and Matt (the dude I was ignoring from high school) walks up to me and tries to proposition me. I cant remember how this went down exactly but I remember strongly rejecting him. It had something to do with the orgy upstairs. As I start to turn away he throwns up on my chest. This disgusted me and I began to vomit and swear at him. He runs off to a corner and continues to vomit. I run off to a DC friend and start to take off my dress with my eyes closed and she it trying to wipe the puke off of my dress. I was absolutely livid. I wake. Ewww.

10/18/12 7:00 AM Wake Back To Bed Fell back to sleep with goal of dreaming not expecting to become lucid.Let images come to me and settled on flying down a winding shape that became a river with tree covered hills on both sides.As I fell asleep I imagined that I was a stream of fire flying down the winding river. Now asleep and dreaming but not lucid. I was leading a long trail of fire but couldn't see the flames coolness in front of me. So in order to see the flames I would glance behind me and then continue flying over the snaking river. The last time I looked behind me the entire bend of the last turn in the river and all the way up one bank was completely engulfed in flame. I thought this looked totally awesome and took off around the next turn. To my surprise I found that it was now night time and I was way up high overlooking the river and gripping tightly to the top of a steal structure with a couple pipes that were protruding beside me being the only objects higher up than I was. As I questioned what was going on and how to get down I realized my situation and took two looks at my hand. Yup. Funny looking indeed I was dreaming. I remained calm and decided that I would attempt flying again. I lifted myself over the edge of the structure and flung myself out into the night. Disappointing as it may be, I fell through the dark and the wind rushed past me. Then I temporarily became less lucid. When I landed in a dark sort of carnival area, my brain tried telling me that I had used a zip line to get down but after seeing my cousin standing in front of me I quickly shrugged off the notion and did another reality check. At that moment my cousin Michah began to transform. First he shrank to about 2 foot tall and became a bit distorted. Then he continued to shrink into a small cantaloupe sized fur-ball with big feet and a creepily human face. I thought that I'd keep it around and tried to put it on my shoulder. It didn't like that at all and squirmed out of my hands and jotted around my feet. Just then another version of my cousin came out from between two poorly lit booths. He didn't look like my cousin but never the less I decided that I would try to get rid of the furball and take my dream elsewhere. I probably shouldn't have waisted the time and tried spinning or something. But regardless, I attempted to put the creature in the sudo-cousins hand but both were completely apathetic to me and each other. The creature became a little aggressive and nipped my hand like a playful pup and though I knew I was dreaming I skipped back from it and I woke up.
Thoughts | Non-Lucid | Lucid | Techniques/Aids 1 Pint Fosters, 200MG B6, 3x 595mg Potassium Bedtime: 9:15PM Fell asleep practicing SSILD Alien Volcano 10:51 I am in an inactive volcano with my daughters. I get the feeling that it is Mercury. We are on the dark side and there is a layer of ice above us. I break it open and set a detonator to blow it up. We get inside a hot air balloon and it doesn't rise high enough. I push a button on a necklace around my neck. I tell my ex something about the girls being late. Her reply makes no sense. We climb out of the balloon and are at the mall. They want to go see a movie. Fight With Sister 2:24AM I am trying to shave in the bathroom and N. makes a rude comment. We blow up at each other and say awful things. A lot of past hurts and grievances get brought up. I continue to shave. I see my hair is so long its on my mustache. I start to shave it but look closer. Now it is just in my eyes. I think oh yeah. I wanted to grow my hair out. I examine it closer and notice every detail. I think about my wife and how we spent the night apart. I miss her and want to see her. WBTB 2:30AM - 3:00AM 200MG B6 Uncomfortable move to recliner. SSILD I had some trouble sleeping at some point and went to counting mantra LJS 4:10AM NLD to DEILD I am back at my first job Long John Silvers. I am opening and start to gather up food and supplies to cook. My old bosses S and D are there. They are already cooking a large order. I go to some upstairs to get some more fish. I am in a big room and see a lady from the grocery store. For some reason I get naked but cover myself with a jacket. Then I walk to her and ask for oral sex. I purposely control her answer with my mind like some jedi mind trick. We say Yes together. Before we do anything I realize what I am doing and stop. I make myself wake up. I try really hard not to do this in dreams. Especially lucid. I think it is a waste of time and not fair to my wife. I don't move but recall the dream. Then I really want to be lucid so I try DEILD. I see F from work and he has a green laser pointer. He puts it on the wall and makes little circles. As soon as I see this I feel vibrations. This is odd because I went straight to a lucid dream but the SP feeling comes after the dream starts. Plus this time the vibrations are totally different. They swirl in my body in time with the laser pointer. Its like my chest is the center and the vibrations are spinning from the point like a ball on a string. I feel it in my head, then my right arm, then my legs, then my left arm, back to my head. I does this extremely fast. It startles me and I get excited and wake up SSILD with counting to DILD At Work 5:00AM ish This dream is very dark like poor lighting and the colors are very dull. I am at work and I have my laptop. I am typing out a long post on dream views. I don't know what it said. S. from work is next to me. We are leaning on the long table and I am using it to hold my laptop. He doesn't say anything but is just looking over my shoulder. J. the maintenance man comes by and messes with the outlet. He says he needs to unplug things for a minute. I tell him not to unplug my laptop. He say nothing so I try to hurry and finish my post. Just before I can click "post now" My screen goes black. I say to S, "I told him not to unplug my laptop." I put my head down in disgust. Then I hear some noise like a TV. I look as S he has has a knowing, smiling expression on his face. I look at the laptop and some video is playing. I think about this for a second and I become lucid. I feel a little like a might be wrong but I point a finger in the air and say, "You know what I thing we are dreaming. Watch this." I put the same finger and push it into the laptop screen. The screen is off now. It sinks in a lot and feels and looks very rubbery. The suddenly the dream fades. I lie still for DEILD. I feel SP but I get very excited again. I try to fight it but then I ignore it and focus on taking deep breaths. I quickly give up and decide I lost it. But at that point I feel my left hand float straight up. Then, the SP stops. I feel like I am laying there and really but my hand up in my sleep. I fell into a non lucid dream that I can't really remember. It was some time later that I woke up. I realized I must have had a false awakening. I reasoned that my body cant move in SP. I should have caught on to that. I should remember that any time there is SP do a RC afterwards even if I am sure that I failed. You never know. Wake up time 6:00AM

Zahidah, Mei Ling & Meriliyn were all wearing white lacy form hugging wedding dress. All of them looked really pretty. I was walking with Zahidah before and saw a photo of a photo session that involved wearing a wedding dress and a veil that covered half the face from the top of the head to the nose. You couldn't see that person behind that veil. We saw a sample of the photo framed up behind a glass window of a photo shop. The dream went through the havok of choosing a wedding theme and a dress for each of them, they were excited the whole time including me. I was mostly going around taking pictures of the whole thing and ended up being the last one to choose a dress. The starting a the wedding was at an open space with the 4 grooms wearing white tux coming driving horse drawn chariots. The grooms were laughing and waving at everyone. Following behind them were more people on carriages and horse drawn trucks throwing flowers. They rode from one end to the other end of the field. The girls came from the same place as the guys, all 4 of them wearing their wedding dressing and a parade of people behind. They did a really complex route and everyone cheered. The girls rode away turning behind showing off their long train lace, laughing and excited. This whole time I was watching at the side line taking photos and trying to hold up my wedding gown still draped on my arm. I was slightly disappointed that I was not taking part, but I was still awed at the magnificence of the whole wedding parade.
9-9-09 I was doing a WBTB. I was laying there getting really bored and wondering if I should just let myself fall asleep. The next thing I know I am laying on the floor in my sister's place and I am being pulled by my feet by something unknown into the room behind me. I felt really freaked out. I tell myself that this is just part of the WILD expereince and that I should just relax and let myself fully enter the dream. I then felt that humming vibration. Again, I tell myself that it is just part of the WILD and that it means that things are moving along nicely. Then I feel myself being lifted up. That part freaked me out even more, but I made myself relax and told myself that this part of the process of entering the dream. I didn't let myself move for a little while because I thought it would wake me up if I accidentally moved my real arms instead of my dream arms. And I wanted to make sure I was fully my dreamself before I tried. I finally did and flew back out of the bedroom and out the front door of what was my mom's house. It was raining outside. I remember thinking that I had never flown in the rain before and that this would be a unique experience. So then I just started flying around. The rain felt very real, both nice, yet a little cold and uncomfortable. I was near my grandparents' house at some point. I wasn't aware of any transition. I remember swooping down through what might have been buildings, but then I think they were canyons. Because later I am flying over Lake Powell and excited about doing that. Anyway it wasn't my best LD, but I was really in the mood to fly again. I was telling myself that before bed--how much I really needed to fly. So I did get to do what I wanted. Now that I have started up again, I need to focus focus focus. SO I can accomplish many things. <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->__________________
9-2-09 I was watching Sponge Bob and Patrick building a castle from cardboard boxes. I knew that they were using their "Imaginations". They were taking paper and coloring it like grey colored rock. They placed it on the sides of the boxes. I noticed how the boxes fit together perfectly and no seams showed. I realized this was possible becasue this was not real. I also knew that because this was not real that I could make an ice cream cone appear. I put my finger out in front of me and concentrated. An ice cream cone slowely materialized. I put it into my mouth. It melted and was gone in two bites. I decided that because this wasn't real life that I could eat as many ice cream cones as I wanted. I pointed my finger again and got another cone. I noticed that the ice cream was pink. I tasted it and noticed how real it felt to be eating this ice cream that wasn't real. I finally did it a thrid time. I was impressed with myself as I realized that I ususally wasn't this good at creating things out of thin air and I ususally had to do anther tricks to get these results.

7-10-09 I've had about 4 LDs since I've last written here. I seem to have less motivation in writing them up. They were pretty interesting though. Twice I ran around in my LD until I found a guy to take flying with me. You wouldn't belive how hard it was to find a decent guy. And I didn't think I was being overly picky. I just wanted a guy between the age of about 18 and 50 who was average or above average in looks. I had to pass dozens of people each tme before I found the one. The first guy was about 20 and blond. I grabbed his hand and told him that I wanted to show him something and just ran until we took off flying. He was totally impressed and afterwards we kissed for a while. He was an especially good kisser. The second time I finally found an even nicer looking guy who was in his mid to late twenties. I also grabbed his hand and told him he had to come with me. He gave me this look that told me he was thinking I was offering something a little more intimate. I remember feeling a little smug inside and couldn't wait to show him that what I was going to show him was much better than sex. I finally took off flying with him and I think he was cool with that. Afterwards we kissed a little too. But he wasn't nearly as good as the first guy. In another LD, I thought I was talking to my mom in real life. I told her that I was drifting into a LD. I couldn't see her. All I saw was the view as I flew and swooped around in the sky. I told her how real it felt and how cool it was that I was still awake enough to talk to her and experience this at the same time. I told her tht if I had a funny look on my face it was because I was letting myself fall and it was very exhilerating. I had another flying LD that I no longer remember any details.
6-25-09 I had a lucid dream two nights ago. Here are the key things I remember: I remember I wanted to walk on my hands. It reminded me of walking on my hands in a swimming pool. I tried to turn into a dragon. At first all I could see is that my front "feet" were kind of a pink and blue color and had claws. Then I could kind of see my face--like I was seeing out of a mask. I could see my long snout out in front and a little of the shape of my head. I flew around for a while. I had trouble for some reason. I tried picturing rockets coming out of me feet and it helped for a little bit, then I had trouble again. I was looking at these really cool hissing cockroach necklaces. They were carved out of wood and put together so they moved--like those little fish necklaces made out of metal where the tail can move back and forth. I was impressed with the heaviness and quality of the wood/carving. I told my mom who was next to me how much I was bummed out because even if I bought one that it would go away as soon as I woke up.
5-24-09 Lucid Dream: I was flying over the city by my Grandparents' house. I was aware that I was going much faster than normal. I then noticed that Jeff was with me holding my hand. I was also talking on the phone to Sherri telling her that this was the best flying lucid dream ever. The wind and motion felt very real and very good.
5-17-09 Lucid Dream: I was in this big dance hall type place when I became lucid. I don't remember what triggered it. I was watching a fitness competition. I got excited knowing that I was lucid because I would have the ability to do all kinds of fantastic feats of strength. I jumped on the stage area and was about to begin to show off. But then I wondered if I should try to do a task. I thought for a second and then decided that the task had been to draw a picture. I jumped over to a table and found a piece of paper and a pencil I was curious to try this. I had never drawn anything in an LD before. The first thing I drew was a cat. It was very simple and sloppy, but I didn't notice that at the time, but only in retrospect. I was amazed how real it felt to hold a pencil and how my contol seemd exactly the same as in real life. I could even feel and hear the lead as it moved on the paper as I drew. Next I drew a face. Also in retrospect I see that it wasn't something really my style. And it was also not very good. But in the dream I was satisfied that I was succeeding in my effort to draw and thus completing as task (which I have to now be satisfied that it was my personal task because it wasn't any official task). There is a transition period here that I don't remember. I was with my mom next. I suddenly thought about how I needed to take advantage of the LD by eating bad things that I can't eat in real life. I looked around for something good to eat. I didn't see any food. But I was confident that I could find something. I looked over what might have been a kind of booth. On the other side I saw a plate of cookies. It was stacked up with large chocolate chip cookies, chocolate cholocate chip cookies and these bar cookies that had white frosting with a reddish drizzle on top. I wasted no time and grabbed stacks of two to three cookies at a time and stuffed them in my mouth. They were a very soft texture. I stuffed them in my mouth until there was hardly room to chew. They tasted fantastic and the soft texture was wonderful. It seemed like I was distracted at this point. I may have had a false awakening. But at some point I remembered that I was still in a dream and that I could eat more cookies. So I found another plate. This on was filled with mostly bar cookies with different kinds of frosting. I followed the same pattern of cramming in as many as I could unitl I could hardly chew. Then the same thing happened. I went on to something else before I remembered again that I was in a dream and which point I found more cookies to gorge myself with. Haha...I feel like such a pig after I wake up from these dreams. But the good thing is that I use these dream to act out somethig that I would never do in real life. So my physical self never has to worry about the consequences of stuffing myself with all those cookies. And that is a good thing.
4-21-09 Lucid Dream: I was doing a not-planned-WBTB. I was having trouble going back to sleep. But finally I realized that I was in a room in some industrial type building and knew that I was dreaming. I did what I always do and took off flying. I flew through some rooms enjoying the ability to fly, but still not feeling the total freedom of flying outdoors. I thought about the tasks, but couldn't remember them. I then decided to change the scenery to something more interesting. I don't actually remember what happened at that point. My next memory is of me doing tricks in front of several Dream Characters. I was showing off my great strength (I know this sound silly, but this seems to come naturally for me just like flying. I do this without a lot of thought). Instead of doing pull ups like I often do I was doing push ups. Then I would balance on my two hands and slowly bring my back legs up to a handstand position. The I would slowly bring them back down. It felt so good that I could do this that I think I got distracted from lucid dreaming and let it fade into a normal dream.
3-16-09 Dream 1 (Lucid and DV member): I was in this large building. I walked out to this one large level part and saw this huge pool. As I looked in the pool I thought I saw a killer whale. I wanted to take a picture of it so I went to get my camera. When I returned I saw a girl in the huge pool room. The killer whale was out of the water. She was having it do tricks like roller and she was then rubbing it and it was making happy noises. I talked to the girl and she told me how to get it to do the tricks. I had it roll over and it roller all the way across the room. I ran after it and rubbed its "chin". It felt so incredibly smooth. As I rubbed it, the killer whale made deep happy moans. It was really cool. Then I went out of that room I was a group of people. One of the people had a T Rex with him. I felt angry. I knew that the guy who owned him probably thought it was very safe. But I also had heard enough stories about wild aminals being kept as pets attacking people. Suddenly I felt very nervous. I decided to run into the next room which was the center of the building and very open. I was afraid that the T Rex was chasing me. I came to a dead end on a balcony overlooking the huge open center of the building. At that point I suddenly realized that I knew how to fly (I don't think I realized that I was lucid yet--just that I had my lucid abilities). I jumped up on the rail and flew to the center of the building. At the top were all these cords. i grabbed onto one and found that it was stretchy. I swung on it and started flipping around and doing tricks and making up a sort of dance. I then decided to fly outside. I flew down and ended up out on the courtyard. I then saw DV member Ame sitting at a table with several other people that I knew were also DV members. I listenend to their conversation. It seemed that Ame had come up with an idea a having a contest to see who could dance the best in their dreams. There was another girl who wanted to criticise everything that Ame came up with. I could see that the conversation was not going well. I then spoke up and told of how I had just been "dancing" on the cords in the building. And how that could count as "dancing in dreams" At that point I was fully aware that I was dreaming. I then remembered that I really needed to eat some ham to get credit of the "Green eggs and Ham" Task that I had started in my last LD. I was now in an alley with my old best friend Marie. I saw a doorway up on the second floor I grabbed her hand and told her that we were going to fly up to the door. She was easy to lift. We flew in the door. I saw several people I decided that instead of looking for Ham (like I did in the last dream and had no luck with) that I would ask someone to bring me some. I called out that I needed some ham, and a guy brought me a bite-sized hunk. It was normal colored. I suddenly wasn't sure if the ham needed to be green, or just the eggs. I decided to play it safe and make this ham green. I focused on it until it slowedly turned first white, then green. I put the piece of ham in my mouth. It tasted just like I remembered ham tasting like. The texture was just right and it had a salty taste. I swallowed it. I felt good that I had been able to get that done do easily. At that point I was suddenly hit with a wonderful idea. Why stop with ham?? Why not eat something I really wanted to eat. Next me me was a Japanese girl. I asked her if she could bring me some chocolate. She left and came back with the tiniest thinest piece of chocolate. I put in on my tongue and let it melt. I could taste a little chocolate flavor. I saw row of freezers along the wall. I asked the Japanese girl if anyone would care if I ate something out of the freezers. Then immediately I remembered that since this was my dream I could do what I wanted and no one would care. I opened the freezer in front of me. It was full. I could see a slice of pie in from of me. It looked like it was made out of mint chocolate chip cream. I grabbed it and stuffed it in my mouth. In two bites I had it all in. It was cold, but not frozen hard. It didn't hurt my teeth by being too cold. I then looked and saw a few ice cream sandwiches. I pulled one out and tore half the wrapper off. I ate the first half in one bite, then I sqeezed the wrapped and the other half just slid out into my mouth. The favor was wonderful. The temperature and texture were also perfect. I thanked my mind that it was all so enjoyable. After eating a few ice cream sandwiches, I saw some Twinkies. I unwrapped one and found that it was also cold but not frozen hard, but cool and slightly firm. I ate that in one bite and went to grab another one. Then I started to lose the dream and everything faded.
3-11-09 Lucid dream: I suddenly suspected that I was dreaming. I was in a house. I tried to remember one of the tasks. the first thing I thought of was eating green eggs and ham (I hope that really was the task--I haven't double checked yet). I rushed into the kitchen of this house (not mine). I looked for the green eggs and ham. Often all I have to do is just look, and it is suddenly there. But all I saw was a table with some dirty dishes on it. I looked at the stove. There were some dirty pans. I opened the fridge. I saw a carton of eggs. They were white. I then realized with a little frustration that I would have to go through the effort of cooking them myself since my brain didn't magically create them for me. I grabbed one of the dirty pans and took it ot the sink and scrubbed it out. When it was mostly clean, I filled it with water. I then took it to the stove. Then I cracked the egg and dropped it into the hot water. Why I did it this way, I have no idea. I usually eat my eggs boiled or fried/scrambled. As I watched the egg cook in the boiling water I focused on it really hard willing it to turn green. Finally I could see it change color until it was a nice shade of green. Satisfied I reached in the pan and pulled it out (I obviously didn't notice the heat). I put the egg in my mouth and really tried to notice the flavor. It tasted like one big yolk, but it didn't really have the dry texture of a plain yolk. After I was done chewing the egg, I started searching again for some ham to eat. But before I could find any I started to wake up. I willed myself to go back to the dream. I was in my old backyard. I thought I was still dreaming. I jumped in the air and found that I could fly. I then decided that I could care less about finding ham--what I wanted to do was fly. I took off into the air and felt like I was flying pretty fast. But when I looked down I saw that I wasn't moving. I was actually just flying into a very strong wind. I could feel the wind in my face and blowing through my hair. I decided to go the direction of the wind so I could go really fast. I turned around and started flying quite fast. I flew past a flag pole and noticed that the flag was blowing the wrong way. Finally I landed and I was with some people. I started to lose lucidity again. But at one point I started climbing up the outside of a building using just my arms. And feeling so proud of myself for being so strong. I became lucid again and finished climbing up the wall wanting to show off.
1-26-09 Lucid fragment: I was laying in bed and looking over at my nightstand and watching this very large black widow spider. It was about 6 inches long. I remember knowing that it was a dream and looking at it closely and thinking something like, "Wow...look at that detail. It's amazing that my mind can come up with that kind of detail. I couldn't draw that in real life--I wouldn't know exactly where to draw in the legs and the cephalothorax --so how can my mind create it so perfectly. Then I saw two beetles walk across my nightstand. I wondered if the spider would try to catch them. As soon as I thought this the black widow pounced on one of them and started to suck it dry. I must have been quite lucid or else I would have felt quite creeped out by all of this.
1-8-09 Lucid Dream: I was in this room with a friend. It looked like a bank. My friend went to stand in line. I walked to the back of the room to wait. On the way I slipped and fell on the floor. I sat there for a moment, then noticed that I was starting to spin. I found this strange and just let it happen. I then became lucid. I jumped up and flew over the line of waiting people. In the next room I tried to remember the tasks. I remembered two. One was to look at a clock. I looked around the room and saw a digital clock sitting on a cluttered shelf. It said 7:42...or was it 7:34...no, it was 7:47. I really tried to focus and stablize it, but the clock was a blur of numbers that changed everytime I tried to focus. I remembered people saying that time changed, but I hadn't realized that it was quite this unstable. I wondered why that was. I then remembered that I needed to use my five senses. I had already been seeing and hearing things, so I decided to focus on "touch". I reached out and felt the solidness of a rail in front of me. I then decided to find something to taste. But before I had gone anywhere I realized that I had already been eating. I had a bowl of macaroni and cheese. I could taste the cheesey flavor and feel the pieces of partly chewed noodles in my mouth. I decided to move on to smell. I flew around and saw Jeff. I told him that I needed to find something to smell. I couldn't see anything that would have a smell to it. I then looked at him and asked, "Have you been working out? Maybe you'll smell sweaty?" But as I leaned toward him and couldn't smell anything. I started flying out of the building. I then saw next to the door a styrofoam container of food that somone had brought back from a restaurant. I openind it and saw leftover green peppers. I knew that they would have a smell. I put my nose right to them and took a big whiff. I could smell a very faint pepper smell. I was disappointed that my dream nose wasn't better. As I pulled my nose back I realized that my nose had touched the peppers and that the peppers had little prickly thorns on them and some of the thorns had stuck in my nose. They were painful to pull out. Jeff thought it was funny that I had let that happen, as if I should have known better than to put my nose up to peppers. I followed Jeff into the parking lot. He got into a large white pickup truck. I started to get in too. Then I had an idea. I told him to just start driving and not to worry about what I was doing. I then rolled the window down and stood outside the truck and reached in and grabbed the handle above the window. As the truck started to move I was carried away, floating beside the truck. It was a wonderfully exhilerating feeling. I told myself that I would have to remember to try that again in future LD. Jeff stopped the truck too soon and started talking to someone. I got back in the truck and waited. I saw a baseball glove on the seat. I ran my fingers over the soft leather, then picked it up to smell it. It had a faint leathery smell. I then started touching other parts of the car so I could say that I really did the task thoroughly. My dream faded and I thought I had woken up. But then I forced myself to relax and drift back into the dream. I was now in a building with Marie. There was a bad guy we were having to get away from him. We locked outselves in a bathroom. I felt quite nervous. But then I told Marie that if it got too scary then I would just let myself wake up. And that's all I remember.
