I have read Carlos Castaneda's book "The Art of Dreaming" for the fifth time (not exaggerating!), it such a good book because it describe how dreaming works, well more how the advanced dreaming works. Some people would call it astral projection, but I am going to call it dreaming because that is what is is, it's just that the moderns western minded man have reduced the true meaning of dreaming, at least that's what the sorcer and nagual Don Juan Matus say in the book.

Don Juan's apprentice is very skeptical to the spiritual meaning of dreams and I have the same character. Although since I started dreaming my view of reality have changed drastically. But I still have some trouble in believing that it's the truth.

Therefore I am going to start my own journey in dreaming.

I was actually hesitating in seeking out these entities described in the book, because they are very dangerous, but I've been told by my guide Iapetos that he will protect me, but I will still be careful.

It might be silly to read this if your not spiritual, but I am not a believer nor skeptical I am open for any possibility and therefore I also have to be careful, before it's too late.

If my experience verify Don Juan's theories I will make my own summary of how I reached and crossed all the gates of dreaming, although that is a very high goal. But I hope I and you will learn from his teachings and my experiences to come.

If you have read the book and believe in his theory you can use these techniques in order to be prepared for what is waiting in the world of dreaming. If you don't believe it you can still use the techniques for your benefit.

The first obstacle or "gate" we have to reach and cross is the First Gate of dreaming. (The stabilization of the dreaming body). It's reached when one perceive his hands in a dream, solved when one is able to shift the focus of one's hands to another dream object and return it to the hands, all repeated a few times.

[COLOR="royalblue"]I dreamt that I were in some politic gathering and listening to a man talking. It was boring and he didn't say anything interesting. But then the chairman was giving the word to another politician and the man says "How dare you interrupt me, I am the autocratic ruler." All people started to laugh and say "Haha not yet your not haha!".
I got a feeling that he had more tricks up his sleeve and something was not right here...
In this dream I had supernatural powers so I flew up into the sky and examined the building I had been in, and I see a giant bomb on the roof. Then I woke up 02:16

In the next dream I was at some theater and some girl approached me and said that she liked the new me. I looked on her surprised. The another girl also approached me and said the same thing, and I thought "What the h*ll is happening?". Then my memory went blank and the next second I was falling down a building and landed on a red buss with no pain. [/COLOR]
[COLOR="blue"]I was more aware and I remember my plan of action, to glance at items of my dreams, although I forgot to look at my hands. I gazed and touched a green street lamp, some leaves on the ground and some grass.
The thought of seeing Iapetos in order to help me crossed my mind, but I changed my mind and wanted to meet the dangerous entity "dreaming emessary". According to Don Juan it can not lie although it try to bribe you in order to follow it to it's world and then trick you to stay there forever... But it is the guide that will help you cross the second gate.

I woke up and fell back to sleep.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="royalblue"]I saw a huge vortex and I dreamt that I had powers in the water like a water god. I remember seeing huge blue wires with matrix coded symbols on it attaching my back.

Then I had a really long dream of me being Batman haha, I fought hundreds of Chinese men with guns and I barely survived. So it was an epic battle and a cool dream. [/COLOR]

If Don Juan had commented on my experience he would say: "I think you went a bit too far, all that was required was your awareness of your hands. What you have done is equivalent to bringing a wall down just to squash a mosquito sitting on it."

So now my goal is to just look at my hands :roll:

[COLOR="royalblue"]Non-Aware (Dream)[/COLOR] - [COLOR="blue"]Partially Aware (Lucid Dream)[/COLOR] - [COLOR="navy"]Fully Aware and Vivid (Astral Projection(OOBE)[/COLOR]

[COLOR="royalblue"]I have started to have dreams where I dream that I have some sort of dream control, which is good because it is easier to realize that it's a dream.

I have some fragments of making out with some woman and then driving after have been drinking alcohol.
The driving felt very vivid and I even remember using the shift in the car. Although it was hard to control the car and I actually did a front flip with the whole car. And the car changed shape into a bicycle without me getting lucid or even care.

I have some fragment of sushi and breakfast and me being on my first school playing tag with some friends.

Then I woke up from my dad's incredibly loud snoring and fell back to sleep.

I were on a bus and it was dark outside, I looked out through a window and I saw a parade of good looking women walking, wearing a black jacket that revealed a cleavage :shadewink: and my dreaming mind couldn't resist getting out to them...

I went out and met two models that walked towards me and started to make out with me. When I fell to the ground and waited for the girls to ehumm.. "Roch the casbah" :roll: One of the girls said "Not here, follow us to that house over there". She pointed to an old building.[/COLOR] [COLOR="blue"]The excitement or the very fact that I was going to have a threesome with two models got me aware of that I was dreaming :( I thought to myself immediately "Wait my plan of action!"
I looked at the ground, a wall and one of the girls breasts...lol.

But as I did this something strange happened. Everything freeze and and the girls stopped moving like somebody had flicked the off switch on them like robots. They just stood there without saying a word.
My dreaming attention wasn't fully stable, but it doesn't matter I couldn't resist following them anyway.

Nothing happened though, the dream changed a bit and we were in a completely different location and I was not getting laid in this dream. I remember thinking that one of the girls looked like a mix of Xena the warrior princess and Megan Fox.
I lost my lucidity [/COLOR][COLOR="royalblue"]and I grabbed some magazine with two different headlines.
One said "Different Angle From a Girls Kiss" and there were pictures of girls kissing each other, and then on the other page there was ehum.. a boy's version, so I closed it immediately.

Then I woke up and waited as I watched the black surface of my eyelids. nothing happened...
I started to daydream a bit and a dream formed almost immediately. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]My plan of action now was to meet my guide Iapetos so I yelled "Iapetos I want to meet you!".
As soon as I stated those words a back of a black haired woman appeared in the room I was standing in. I heard footsteps behind me so I turned around and saw a guy looking like someone I had talked with the day before in the physical life. So I said "So you are Iapetos?" and he answered "I used to be a classic god with tiny letters".

I was like o. O then I woke up 07:44[/COLOR]

[COLOR="royalblue"]Non-Aware (Dream)[/COLOR] - [COLOR="blue"]Partially Aware (Lucid Dream)[/COLOR] - [COLOR="navy"]Fully Aware and Vivid (Astral Projection(OOBE)[/COLOR]

I fell asleep late this time, because my dad kept me up with his snoring. So I fell asleep around 00:15

[COLOR="royalblue"]I was practicing car driving, but it didn't went well I remember almost crashing the car, then I woke up.

I have some dream fragments of the Swedish show "Hipp hipp" and a bus can't remember what I dreamt though.

Then I were at some party and a guy gave me cigarettes and a joint of something he called "Jordbakir" :?
It was a big house and for some reason filled with hot girls, although they were not interested in me :(
I got a bit more aware and I levitated and[/COLOR][COLOR="blue"]got aware of that I was dreaming.
For some reason unknown to me I yelled that I wanted to meet a guy named Walton.
Nothing happened though but I did follow my plan of action to glance at three objects in the dream.
my hands, some guy's feet and a laptop. [/COLOR]
[COLOR="royalblue"]After this action I had three false awakenings...

Then I had a very long dream of me being a skateboard logo designer.

When the scene changed I was in a school talking to my old teacher Björn. When we went to a store and I remember seeing a weird paper called "Korean dreams" I think it was an adult magazine. :roll:
I then dreamt that I was lucid and I tried to convince my friend that they were dreaming.

"You can do anything, you can fly, meet Jessica Alba, anything!"

"It's not for us" they said. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]Then I got lucid for real and followed my plan of action to glance at objects again, I even thought about my physical body and I didn't woke up! I had the feeling of soon losing my lucidity so I entertained myself by doing advanced acrobatics as a triple front flip and stuff like that. Then I woke up 08:07 [/COLOR]

[COLOR="#808080"][/COLOR][COLOR="#808080"]I, again, don't remember much of the dream, I had this a couple days ago but didn't have enough time to record it :(

[/COLOR][COLOR="#00008B"]I think, at first I was in a shopping center like place, can't remember much here. I was walking around and practicing making balls of whatever energy I choosed, but like I said, can't remember exactly...

When I was outside, I was in what looked like an old britin like area, there was even a slight weird colour overlay in the whole area. I saw a girl I used to like and I decided to talk to her, but she just stright out said get away from me you creep. I tried making a ball of energy again, I put my hands with a sort of sphere space in the middle and concentrated while thinking "Love". A pinkish sphere grew in between my hands and I fired it at her. She then confessed her love for me, after which I just slapped her saying get aways from me you creep! [/COLOR][COLOR="#808080"](:3)

[/COLOR][COLOR="#00008B"]At some point, people started chasing me, I kept running and when I came to a dead end, I made a energy sphere thing thinking "Door", and I fired it and a light blue door showed up, it was tiny though. I just kept rushing through a lot of places I can't remember well until I came to what looked like a cinema like place.

I went through the curtains at the cinema which lead to a different place, can't remember well, but all this place was, was an uphill to another door. That one lead to another door, and another, and another, eventually the hill was too tall for me to climb and I took a detour.

[/COLOR][COLOR="#808080"]All I can remember, I know there was more but yeah :([/COLOR][/INDENT]

* Non-Lucid * Lucid *

I was with A.A., her sister and mother in a car going to A.A.'s college meeting. On the way, I saw a road sign that said "Colombia". During the ride, her sister got a call from her boyfriend and they chatted really briefly. We started going upward on a mountain, we kept circling on the same spot really fast. (Imagine the teacups from Merry Go Rounds). --- We got to the place, it was really plain and tiny, it was more like a store. On the window was a sign that said the meeting was over in red. The family went in anyway, while I waited outside. --- I was hanging out with the Avengers, Loki with ill fitting BBC Sherlock clothes, and the 3 from Supernatural outside. Castiel had his back to me, I think I went up and poked him or something. We all laughed and had fun. I couldn't stop laughing, someone told me to defend him and I said "I shouldn't come in" as in I shouldn't get involved. Someone mentioned banana and some other danced around.

I was with an acquaintance, A.B. We were at an outdoor shooting game. We were both under an open shelter with other people as a team. I moved to the opposite side of the shelter so that I could see the front better. As soon as I got to the other side, the leader announced that he's splitting the opposite sides as enemies. --- I followed A.B. toward a glass door that leads us outside. He went out but I stayed in. He came back after a moment wearing a red t-shirt and cap. I followed him outside in to the forest. I continued walking and became lucid. I didn't do RCs but I had a strong feeling that it is a dream. I did the 5 senses activity to stabilize myself, I remembered licking my thumb because I didn't want to taste anything there. I told myself to feel his arm but I don't remember if I acted on it. (A.B. was no longer there.) I was still on the pathway but I was surrounded by brick buildings that looked very familiar to my middle school. I saw a creature in front of me, it was like a llama with giraffe patterns. I followed it cause why the hell not. I saw another creature and it was a lion with really blonde highlight in its mane. I walked back out to the pathway. I observed my left hand and while I did that, I thought to myself that I shouldn't do that yet since nothing's fuzzy or fading. It went black and I woke up.

I was at a gathering with my friends. I walked away and went to a corner near the pool. It was busy, there were people everywhere. I sat there by myself and took small bites of my PB&J sandwich. A few of my friends came to check on me and I ignored them. H.W. told P.W. that I like her. P.W. got really excited and asked "really!?" and said that we should talk. I got really angry at H.W. inside cause how did she know and why would she say it out like that. Everyone looked like they already knew I like P.W.

I stepped on my break cause it was red light, it took a lot of effort then I realized that I was driving really fast locally. When my car came to a stop, I was right next to a police car. It seemed like he didn't notice how fast I was going. --- I went on the freeway with a lot of confidence and I didn't even care if anyone's behind me. I was reckless.

07/27/2012
1AM - 11AM

So last night I had more than one dream. Each dream I had didn't seem to have a beginning nor end. The first dream I can remember I went Lucid shortly.
It started with me being in this huge creepy (Not old just scary) Mansion of some sort. The inside was endless and I was looking for a way out but each door I opened led to another completely different looking house. For example I would be in a middle class house and could see a yard out side in the country then I would go through a door and I would be in a very expensive looking apartment in the city. I couldn't go through the windows for some reason and there were no exits. The harder I tried to leave to deeper I seemed to go. The new rooms grew more and more dark and warped. Everything started to feel wrong I got a idea in my head that I had to leave or I would die there. At some point I opened a door and the room looked like space yet I knew if I fell I would fall forever. I had to go along this ledge to get to the next door. I opened it and was in a normal yet poorly let house. It looked really familiar but I couldn't figure out why . (When I woke up I realized it was the house I lived in in a dream I had a long time ago) Anyway I'm standing there and suddenly I understand why nothing makes any sense. I was dreaming. I walked around intently looking at everything. I kept saying "This is cool....I'm really asleep.....everything's so real...." I was picking stuff up and feeling it and looking over everything. It was cool. I went and looked out a window and was like "SSSSPPPPAAACCCCEEEE!!!! >:3" At that point I didn't care about leaving because I knew it was just a dream so I just explored some. Ate some point I must of woke up shortly or had a major dream change. The next dream I had I didn't go lucid.

I was in a movie theater getting my ticket. I went in the the show room and looked around for a place to sit. That when a guy walked past me that look just like one of my friends but older. He stopped and was like "Hey long time no see" He was referring to us not seeing each other over the summer but he looked way older the he was. He is 17 but looked 20. Anyway turns out all my friends were there. I go to sit down by them But someone says they are saving that seat. For some reason I get offended and sit away from them (Would never happen...I love my friends) They are like "Awwwww come back" I ignore them and the movie starts. I don't get to watch it though because the jerk next to me start talking and everyone tells him to shut it but in the end a guy asks him to leave ALONG with me because the think I'm with him. I'm like "I don't know this guy! I'm not even involved." My friends come to my aid even though I was a jerk but they still kick me out.
Dream shifted
I'm at a construction sight and I have no idea why. My parents are apparently rich and own the place but there not my parents and I know it. I walk around and everyone acts like they know me but I don't know them. Then my little "brother" whom I don't know ether tell my mom said to inside. I'm just like "meh..." and go with it. I go inside this cool looking rich person house. Inside there is this guy who says "Hey come look at the full moon" He hands me a pirate like telescope (I don't know what they are called - _ -) I look out at the moon but its green and blue. Then I realize its the earth....and I'm not on it. So naturally I freak out.
Dream shift
Ok now I'm on my road that goes to my house. I walk past a park were they are opening a new pool. I hitch a ride with this guy to my house (I guess I could have just walked...idk) So I'm going down the street to my house and I pass a lot of stuff that didn't mean anything in my dream (when I woke up I remembered That a lot of places I passed were more places I had been in other dreams...so that's kind of cool) Then he dropped me in front of my house. I think something else happened my it's foggy because my grandma woke me up soon after.

I am standing in a room that is empty of anything but myself, and kitchen cabinets. Everything is painted pale grey. I realized that the room made no sense, and I had no idea where it was, as I had never been there before. I decided to do an RC to see if I was awake, so I plugged my nose, and breathed in. I could feel the air going into my lungs. For a moment I thought I hadn't even done it, so I tried again. This time I made it a point to pay all of my attention to what I was doing. I still felt the air rushing into my lungs when I breathed. I became excited, and was thinking [I]oh my God I did it![I] Then as I was going to try to change the scene around me, I woke up.

It kinda sucked, waking up from the first time I had an LD and knew what it was. But I suppose since I didn't get to do anything in my first, it will just get me excited for the next ones.

I had a brief DILD this morning, where I came close-ish to completing the basic TOTM:

I was in a relationship with Frédéric Chopin, the Polish composer. We were in one of those morning rooms, talking about something.



He seemed quite distraught. If you know anything about the composer, his life was fraught with emotional and physical distress. In the dream, he expressed sadness about something, and i was trying to console him by talking to him about his music. I may have been George Sand, and quite befitting because George was a baroness who went by a male pseudonym.. even dressed as a man. I explained to Chopin that "You have no idea how much beauty you have brought into this world with your music. Even more so, how your music will impact the Romantic Era and it's genre boundaries after you die as well." O_O DOH! I'm talking to a dead man, I'M LUCID!!

I put my hands on his shoulders and set him down gently on an incredibly opulent Victorian style sofa, and said "Please forgive me, but I have to remember the TOTM, it's very important." He looked at me quizzically, and then jolted as I yelled out "Drink a potion!!! You have to help me find a potion so I can drink it and describe it's effects!!" He looked extremely confused, and possibly worried from his mistress's sudden onset of insanity, then everything went vertigo. I was pulled backwards by an invisible force, and I watched the beautiful man on the beautiful sofa in the beautiful room, fade into the back of my eyelids, and I woke up.

Speed your sorry ass up next time Frédéric, you namby pamby little emo man! I've picked larger men from under my fingernails! <3

I strongly believe in visions and dreams of course. I believe I have a gift of discernment and prophecies. I often get visions and dreams especially when I am asleep. Like Joseph who was engaged to Mary dreamt about an angel telling him to marry.

Well, for me, some dreams really realistically that I believe they are real since I could not forget them. Some others I do not.

For example, in 1985, my dream that night IS real because of what I did for three weeks--I fasted not to think, look, or lust upon women because I just turned 20 (now 47), and want to grow up and not be like a teenager especially after I saw my brother in law was joking with me about this woman he wanted me to meet and made jokes about her chest. He, at the time, was about 35 years old!

It was part of New Year's resolution that I fasted because it was close to January when this joke happened.

Anyway, 3 weeks later, I was approched by a woman who was crying and needed her tire fixed. To make this short, instead of calling AAA, she asked me to fix the tire and I did. That night, I am sure she prayed to God to bless me and I prayed for my WIFE. First time I asked for it. And asked God how can I know and naturally it was opened to Genesis chapter 24 and I read the whole chapter and prayed for clues just like that servant did to find Rebekah by asking for clues. Yes, naturally because I let the bible open from side and it was like that.

After prayer was done, I went to bed, slept.. and then I was called by God and then wow, God is glory! White!! And saw my bride. Beautiful with black hair, brown eyes, thin, etc etc. To make this short (you will have to buy my autobio when published then you can read the rest), God wanted me to go through this forest and 3rd time God asked I accepted and went thru this cold dark forest with 7 wide dirt curved road (similiar to the famous crooked street in SF). This road actually was a dirt unpaved trail. 7th curve, I fell down but got up because it was getting difficult. I got out, beautiful warm day, sunny, saw a row of houses on right side of paved narrow road. Then saw angel leaving and I ran after him. But the road had deadend and then she tapped on my shoulder.. there was my bride! She invited me in her house. We held hands. That woke me up and I found myself hot and sweating in a cold basement bedroom (remember, this January in New York State in 1985!) I believe I was there.. like I was taken by whirlwind...

I prayed again and slept and it repeated and got the house number 917..whatever that means.

I faced quite a bit of things in life similar to the dream. 7 crooked curves wide dirt trail in cold dark leaf-less trees at night.. that was my personal tribulation and I have proof that on the 7th curve, I fell down was on August 10, 1995. The 7 years tribulation I had began in 1988 because I truly understood and accept Jesus Christ.

On that day August 10, 1995, was a personal special day. I ran into a problem and I asked God to take care of it and I will do anything for God. God commanded me to tell the Deaf and the Singles about Jesus Christ and not fall into traps of sins or problems in this world. That day I accepted His Command and problem was solved just like that. Then I served with the Deaf for exactly 7 years till August 10, 2002! The day I came home from serving for the LORD in Miami, Florida! STRANGE!

Then my bride has not yet come.. I err on my part by sinned against God by marrying the wrong one in 2004. Divorced then what?? I had other dreams and visions along the way.

More on those another time since they are all connected. Or some differently like this morning. I had another realistically dream. Yes, she has black hair, beautiful, petite, young...I will say stories step by step.. not mixing up skipping dreams.

07.26.12
Participated in a race on my father's car and got some troubles, several times count fingers, understood that its a LD and tried to fly and find the planet to make TOTM, but i flew through the clouds so long, and understood that TOTM i will do the next time. I found a roof and landed. There was a little kid and he became to fight with me and i threw him down. I was very upset that i couldn't go through clouds and make TOTM and threw down stones and all i could find on the roof. I found myself sitting on my bed and throwing kid's toys and awoke.

[COLOR="Gray"]Don't remember exactly when I became lucid, and I woke up with a headache and forgot a lot...

[/COLOR][COLOR="DarkBlue"]At the start, I was in a bright, happy looking neighborhood, white pavement and people around...and a gargantuan spaceship on the horizon.

I paid attention to the spaceship, looking at it a bit until I saw something flying at me and moved, it was what looked like a giant origami arrow. When it fired a few more, I focused on at and sternly said "Teleport", a reticle/target appeared where I was concentrating but that's it. [/COLOR][COLOR="Gray"](-.-) [/COLOR][COLOR="DarkBlue"]

In the end I made a rectangle with my fingers and said "Erase". Everything in view with the rectangle was erased, including some people who were walking by...

Looking around a little more I saw that a wide road went on for a while and I looked around for a car to drive in and I saw a policewoman go by on a motorbike, I went after her and kicked her off to jack the bike. After I did, she shouted and some people took notice, but I wasn't chased.

The motorbike was slightly different than a normal one, it didn't have a throttle handle thing that you turn, it had 2 things that looked like brakes with each of the handlebars, except one was pull for acceleration, the other was pull for turbo. [/COLOR][COLOR="Gray"](ohhhh yeahhhhh)

[/COLOR][COLOR="DarkBlue"]I took off on the road going really fast as I was looking at everything and what looked like a hill came up and I pulled on the turbo and tried saying "Speed Boost", which worked. I zoomed over the hill, which turned out to be a huge chasm drop, holding on to the motorbike, I looked around and saw the skies were red and everything was in ruins, like a catastrophie happened. When I landed, I contined on with my ride over a few more giant jumps and eventually I saw another one coming up which I zoomed to but the road collapsed and I fell and was riding on dirt for a bit before I skidded out. I got back on and kept riding on the ground though.

Can't remember exactly how, but I was back at a civilized area, looked similer to the last area, can't remember what I did here except for one thing. There was someone, I think he pissed me off, but made up for it somehow. I said "I could just roast you right now [/COLOR][COLOR="Gray"](as I built up a bigger and bigger fireball in my hands) [/COLOR][COLOR="DarkBlue"]but I won't. [/COLOR][COLOR="Gray"](fireball receded, or well...got smaller? :P)[/COLOR][/INDENT]

Finally had another lucid last night! Attempted a WILD but failed and fell asleep. I had a lucid, near the end of the dream so it was short.

I was at some big lake with a giant floating building right in the middle of the lake. Katara (From Avatar: The Last Airbender) was with me, and some assasin woman came and attacked Katara. The assasin was a lady with two swords. She snuck up on Katara and slashed her in her side at least 4 times, each slash went halfway through her abdomen. (It was pretty nasty.) Then the lady threw Katara into a white cloth bodybag, which she then slashed into like 20 peices. She threw Katara into the water, but there was some magical shark in those waters that could bring people back to life. (And probably other stuff, cause it was... magic.) The shark saw the lady throw Katara in and it found Katara and brought her back to life.

Later me, Katara (I think it was her, but it could have been someone else.), and some guy with airbender tatoos were in some camp with a big pool. The guy with the tatoos was our counselor. He could control all 4 elements, I think. He was earthbending a rock, aking it float over water, and I earthbent and flung it all the way to the other side of the pool. Katara goes over to grab it, and I swim over there too. It underwater and I want to try to to breathe fire. (By this time I knew I was dreaming, IDK how though.) I let out a small stream of fire, and that was pretty impressive, considering I was underwater! I was above water coming to the side of the pool and I want to blast fire from my mouth and hands at the same time, so I put my hands to my face and then pointed my hands and arms straight forward, blasting fire from my hands and mouth.

It was cool, but I wanted to do the Task of the Month. I felt the dream slipping and I was thinking I could try to DEILD, but I don't really know how to do that very well. I remember I had to tip people off of their skateboards or something so I could DEILD, but I think I kind of lost lucidity at this point.

I wanted to do the TotM, but I couldn't so I hope I'll get another lucid before this month ends!

I was in my room. I was showing someone (can't remember who) my cat Oliver. He was a tiny, grey kitten, the tiniest kitten you ever did see. In real life, however, he's actually black and white and pretty much all grown up. I realized this and figured I was probably dreaming. I looked at my hand for an RC and had six fingers. Now, I knew I was dreaming. Unfortunately, I woke up within seconds. I noticed the grey kitten was still in my room, concluded I'd had a false awakening, and RC'd again. Once again, this woke me up nearly straight away.

I had a feeling that I was still dreaming. I didn't want to wake myself up again, so I just wandered around the house, paying attention to everything around me, as I'd heard that was a way of stabilizing a dream. After a little while, I decided to tell my mom I was dreaming.

"Are you?" she asked. I showed her my hand and told her that's how I could tell (I still had the extra finger, and I couldn't even keep my fingers straight if I looked at them for more than a second or so). "Oh, okay," she said.

Then, I decided to try teleporting again, since I'd failed before and wanted to get it right this time. I decided that maybe I could try using a portal this time. Since I'd heard it's harder to make objects appear right before your eyes, I decided for some reason to jump up, expecting a portal to appear under me. It didn't. I decided to try spinning instead. I stood in the middle of the living room, arms outstretched, and made sure I had enough room to spin without hitting the TV. After confirming that I had enough space, I started to spin. Realizing I'd need a destination, and that I should actually visualize it this time, I briefly closed my eyes, as it's easier to visualize anything that way.

That was a mistake. I woke up right away. This time, I had a feeling I was really awake. I did an RC and confirmed that I was.

Waking thoughts in black
Non lucid dreams in blue
Lucid dreams in red

Dream 1 - non lucid (3.54am)
I am walking in a large underground tunnel. Occasionally cars pass me, and there is snow or frost covering the ground. For the first few minutes of the dream, I was watching myself from above, then I switched to being myself. I'm about to enter a door, or smaller tunnel, when a nice smily lady stops me. She tells me to take one of her Lucid Dreaming pills, so I can become lucid in my dreams. I take it, and she reads some sort of leaflet or program with me, telling me 'oh wow, this is gonna be fun, you're gonna really enjoy this!' then I enter the door / tunnel, which splashes water all over my head as I walk under / into it. I didn't actually get lucid, but as always I'm dreaming of lucidity and don't click on! What can I do to go that little bit extra?

I woke after this dream, and in my sleepy haze, thought I'd had no dreams and the dream was real. (I thought I'd really taken a pill to get lucid) I got up and shut the hatch window because I was cold, and realised it was a dream, so quickly wrote it down.

Dream 2 - non lucid / slightly lucid at end (5.43am)
For the record, I was mega hungry when I went to bed, as I wrote in my DJ each time, I considered WILDing but my stomach just kept growling!It's my birthday, and I'm sat with a group of people. I have a teddy bear shaped chocolate birthday cake, which I start eating. It's yummy! I finish the whole thing to myself. I laugh, and tell the others I'm sorry I didn't offer it out, but they don't mind. I offer to go to the shops to buy another and share it, but they say it's ok they really don't mind! Someone has been shopping already and has got lots of food that was reduced for 9p and so on. They let me help myself. Suddenly, a live band is about to come and play. I get excited and settle to watch. THE DREAM SWITCHES AGAIN. It did this the night before. Suddenly I AM the performer, instead of watching. I don't notice any change in dreaming other than this, and it doesn't dawn on me until I wake up. So now I am the singer for the band. I decide to sing well, I need to be lucid, and 'become' lucid in my dream.I wasn't really lucid, I still didn't know I was dreaming, I don't think my sleeping mind comprehended what 'lucid' really meant.As I am lucid, I can now fly, and sing really well, I put my heart and soul into the performance. I now switch back to watching the show again, and someone gives me a shot of vodka, with salt around the rim of the shot glass. I drink it, and it tastes like grapefruit and sugar! I like it so I have more, but I drain off the grapefruit juice / vodka and just eat the salt / sugar as I don't want to get drunk. I notice on the table there is a large snake. The snake is evil looking, it is very shiny and smooth, with a red and cream or off - white pattern, similar to a Corn Snake. However it has a head like a king Cobra, and huge, red fangs. I don't panic, but I know not to go near it. My friend who is sat with me tries to grab it, and does so very clumsily, leaving himself open to attack, however the snake doesn't attack, he does look very agitated though. My friend grabs it's neck and pulls, the snake is so strong and large, that he cannot move it, but instead he stretches the snake's neck in a painful way. The snake now bites him. I decide to 'become lucid' again to avoid being bitten. I know if I am lucid, I am only dreaming and so the snake cannot harm me. I fly up into the garden, and fly a few laps around, looking at the trees and bushes. As I do, I see many more snakes sat in the trees waiting and hiding. I want to get 'proper lucid' as I am aware I'm just dreaming of being lucid. And so I try to wake my brain up, while I'm still asleep, so that I will be lucid.I wake up for real. A very low level lucid at the end.

Dream 3 - non lucid (8.22am)
I think I have forgotten the beginning of this dreamFor some reason, I HAVE to eat some raw eggs. The eggs are like little blackbird's eggs. There are about 5 of them but one keeps breaking and leaking everywhere, I carry them in a little plastic bag. I am in the back of a van, while someone drives the van to an underground car park, for some reason to do with the eggs. It is important I eat these eggs soon! I am completely naked, which I'm a little embarrassed about, so I try to find some clothes to put on, but I can't while I'm laying in the back of the van. Eventually we get to the car park, where several policemen block the entrance. We worry we won't get in, and the policemen asks for our names, I give them my surname, and to my surprise they let us in, showing us where to park. We park and I get out, the car park is empty except for a big, red double decker bus parked in the corner. We all talk about how we'd love to own one of those buses. A fashion show starts, and everyone is invited to join in, I am given a long shirt with a Union Jack design on it, and an Orange T-shirt to wear over the top. It's not my style but I'm naked so wear it anyway. I look ridiculous, but someone takes photos of me anyway. I go to put my socks on, because the floor is hurting my feet. There are a couple of little spiders around, but I ignore them as I'm not afraid of spiders. One bites me, and it actually really hurts. I flick it off and carry on, another one, bites me 3 times, and I flick it off, but it leaves some little bumps on my skin. The pain is quite intense. The spiders range in size, but all look the same. They are grey, with a white pattern and have 2 hairy back legs, the rest of the legs are thin. Someone googles them on their phone, and we find out they are called 'Cadavern' spiders. One bigger one, is red and black, and this one bites me again, the pain is terrible.

I get up early for the day, but easily could have stayed in bed and had more dreams.

Working 12:57am

I am at working doing some strange new cable assembly. I learned how to install something with lights. All the time I had some very alien looking overseers. #vague

At The Park 00:00? *LUCID*

#I dream I am at the same park doing the same thing that I was doing earlier in the evening. We went to a Hospice Memorial Service for my wife's grandpa in real life and this coupled with my ADSA I've been working on immediately trigger a lucid.

I am sitting at the picnic table with all the people. I know that I am dreaming. I want to do TOTM so I make my water bottle be full of the magic potion. It is still clear like water but no I know it is the potion. I drink it. There is not sensation or taste. I immediately begin to float up (like Charlie at the Chocolate Factory). I am completely weightless and I am floating among all the balloons we released in real life. I am so high up that I lose my grounding and feel myself wake up. I fight it.

I am now on the ground staring at the big oak tree in the park. It is covered in balloons.I use that to focus on and ground myself. As I focus and get more detail the balloons become giant white flowers. Very nice. I look around and see no people. The park looks pretty much normal. So I walk around forgetting TOTM. I just taking the scenery and remind myself that I am dreaming. I hold it in me like I do with self-awareness. I anchor my mind to it and not forgetting.

Now I am bored. I can't think of anything to do. Then, I remember that I had decided to work in some spirituality into my dreams. I guess I haven't really thought this through because this first thing I thought of was to call Jesus and talk to him with out really anything to say.(I say it like this because, whatever Jesus I call into existence would only be a version of me in my own mind. So maybe I'm wrong to even consider spirituality?) Anyway, I yell, "Jesus!" I wait a few moments looking around expecting someone to show up. Then BAM! Total darkness. I wake up.
