memorable

Another great, long dreaming night with 1-2 epics. And a first! Probably my earliest LD ever, somewhere around 2.5 hours in the first (noticed) waking of the night. And not just a weak, low-awareness LD, but a TOTM success LD that included a successful teleport out of the void! I set very strong intention to get lucid tonight. I also prepared 4mg galantamine + 300mg alpha gpc by my bedside for WBTB (but never took it, keeping it in reserve for tonight perhaps).

@ ~ 2.5-3 hrs

+ lucid 202: I'm hugging my old dog L. He's facing me and hugging me back (in retrospect a bit too tightly and compulsively but in the dream it seemed fine), my face is buried in his chest and my hands are holding him tightly to me, I'm telling him "I love you, I love you!". Then I'm in my CH living room and I'm lucid. Lighting is subdued, like it's dark outside. As soon as I'm lucid I think "woohoo, #202". I'm pacing around between the living room and the entry hallway. I remember TOTM and I remember grow a tail. I'm standing on the corner of the big buffet which has a mirror and I will a tail to grow. I move it around over my right shoulder then I see it and touch it with my right hand and inspect it. It is a flat dark brown color, slightly fuzzy, and feels like the tail of a stuffed animal. I will the tail to move around some more and see its shadow on the floor in front of me, moving, I say "swish! swish!" I now want to do a basic task as well and I know I know the tasks and I feel positive that they will come to me at any instant but I just can't remember them. Next thing I know I'm pacing in total blackness. I decide I don't want to be here and I want to try a portal teleport. I lift my right hand and start to draw a portal in the air in front of me, expecting to see a shining outline appear, but nothing appears. I start over again, still unable to see any portal trail, but now I finish drawing a large oval in the air in front of me. I imagine it leads to <forgotten!>, as I start to step through I think perhaps I should have specified instead that it leads to Amber [Zelazny's fantasy realm] but I decide to keep my original destination.

I find myself in a brightly lit city scape full of people, sort of medieval looking, the city is on a hill. I take off flying and I'm immediately surrounded by thousands of little flies or tiny drones, the faster and farther I try to go to evade them, the more that surround me. Lost all lucidity now, I'm talking with someone about what the cost is to (teleport me?) get to somewhere else. The guy says that he does not accept military contracts and there is something about the cost he offers.

wake up and review dream, check time, about 2.5 hours after bed. I decided it was too early to take the galantamine, and went back to sleep. Very happy with what is probably my first successful intentional teleport.

(@5-6 hours)

+ CH thief:
I'm standing on the street looking down the driveway at my CH and I sense something is wrong. The doors of the house are open and the lights are on. I'm looking and noticing open doors. I decide to jump down and surprise the thief if one's there. I "jump/fly" down in one swoop from the street down to the back porch of the house and I detect an intruder in the house who runs away. He runs down the back garden stairs and jumps off the lawn down to neighbor's back yards. I do another big jump/fly down to him and there's a branch on the ground and a pair of long-handled pruning shears which he picks up and faces me to fight, <rest forgotten>.

+ slop:
I'm sitting/lying on the ground outdoors. A small girl comes up to me and lays across me diagonally and hugs me and I hug her back, I feel love coming from her, she tells me, "Thank you for holding me!". Then I'm lying in some sort of trough and my wife and some other women throw in buckets of what I think is "pig slop", grey and thick and muddy, which I had been expecting but they threw it before I expected it and it splashed on my face. "Great!" I say with sarcasm, "you got it on my face!" and they react with concern.

+ scoot:
I'm on a bicycle on mixed suburban/urban roads, I approach a busy intersection and use the hand brakes on the handlebars to slow down, I notice that the "turn left" arrow is lit and I'm following a dotted line painted on the ground that leads on to a sidewalk, and I follow it there. There are some cars coming down the sidewalk the other way and I'm surprised/annoyed by this. I continue on the sidewalk, now scooting? Now on inline-skates, I'm coming up on some people who are slow moving so I speed up to overtake them right as a guy is trying to pass me. My new speed prevents him from passing me and we're now running/skating side by side. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were there," I explain to him. Now I'm pushing myself with cross-country ski poles, still on inline skates, and getting some good speed from this. He's running. I wonder now many miles we can go like this, probably all the way up into the hills.

+ epic: ski
I begin with thoughts and light visuals about a job where I worked at one former job while I worked still at another former job -- this is a (somewhat) reoccuring dream pattern about work. Then (I? someone?) says one of the benefits of the job is the big ski jump hill they build outside, and I imagine a large, wide, slide with alternating steep and level sections. Then someone else talks about the downhill skiing park that was built, then I'm standing at the top of the hill with skiis on and start skiing down. The guy had been saying about how fast you could do. The hill was quite steep but fairly flat. I'm hopping between left ski downslope and right ski downslope skillfully and wondering about just how much time it takes to perform one of these hops once you decide to do it. Then I run off a series of jumps off the left side of the trail, and finally I'm falling about 100 feet or more and think "oops now I've done it" and I'm trying to plan my landing place. I'm anticipating a bad impact really hurting my legs. But then I realize that as long as I land on a steep part of the slope below me there won't be much impact. I land and feel no problem with my legs. I jump again and this time I'm jumping over a river and I need to plan my landing, this time the snow runs out and my skies are clattering along bare rocks but on a smoothed pathway. I thought my skiis would get ripped to shreds but the stones are very smooth and I just slowly glide to a halt.

Now what am I going to do? I have probably skied somewhere around 20 (kms? miles?) and trudging back up that massive hill that long with ski boots and my skis in hand is just not going to happen, so I resolve to go forwards to see where I am. I quickly come across a building, sort of a cabin, with a sign on it, amidst pine trees, it's a large building like a camp building. But sort of run down, like it's not popular any more. I come across the main camp building which is similar (sort of run-down, out of date architecture), with people milling about. The camp is not in session, it's called "sundowner <something>" or "summer <something>". I talk to a staff member about getting back to where I came from and she mentioned that they had a taxi that I could take. "Taxi! Perfect!" I say and go to it. I'm then standing on a mini-bus holding a pole and I'm thinking about how I'm going to pay the taxi since I don't have any money with me. I then realize that I don't have my skiis with me, and that I don't remember taking them off, or my boots, or putting them anywhere. I just remember that my final skiing portion was near a river/creek and ask the driver to take me by there so I can look for them.

While standing on the taxi I "remember" that I came here with some friends and they're not all here, we have to find them, I'm confused about where they are. I'm going to have to call my dad to come get us(?) and figure out how to meet him. "Where's Lawrence Y? [boy scout]" I see a double ski holder thing (that you carry skis in on the roof of your car) in the bus and I open it and look at the skis and they're covered with colorful shiny glitter stickers.

I walking then go through a door and inside CE (my movie buddy when I interned at lab) is teaching a piano harmony lesson. She is going to play improvised scales in D-flat (major?) She begins and starts with something like 6th and 4th chords, then normal ones, I keep listening for a Maj7 chord but never hear one, and feel like I should sneak to the keyboard and hit the Bb key to make her do it, but I never do, I'm listening to her scales for about a minute.

wake:
I'm thinking now that it's too late to take the G. Review dreams, toss and turn a bit, work on BTS and get BTS. Tell myself "the next thing I see will be a dream" and performing the dream-hand nose-pinch RC on exhales once in a while. Tell myself "I will fall asleep and get lucid." BTS

(9-10 hours?)

+ elevator: there's a problem with the work elevator, I'm talking with the CEO (female) about it. It has to do with the old power board. I walk down the stairs with my son and realize it's a long way down and I head back up to fix the power board. I continue talking and say that the issue is due to the software's access pattern of the various power terminals. We could fix it by making sure the software doesn't use too many of them at the same time. But couldn't we just buy a new power station, "it would only cost, what, $20,000?".

+ cables/work/girl: <a bunch forgotten> also at work and there's a presentation being prepared in some large audience or dining hall. I have cables that are part of the projection system in my hand. We're (taking a break?) and everyone's putting their components of the projection system down on a table in front of a techie guy, and I put two short orange cables as well and say these are important. I'm moving through the crowd and a lot of people are in my say. There's are some young people on the stage and I notice in particular a cute girl with lipstick on, briefly. Then I'm moving back stage and a girl is there and I encourage her to follow me. I see a tent set up and open it and motion for her to go inside. We go inside and make out a bit?

+ (semi)epic: park / basketball:

... I'm looking at the newly refurbished basketball level of my CH neighborhood park. They've replaced the concrete/asphalt with a slightly bouncy black material like on modern playgrounds, it is very black. I'm just standing there on the far side facing the main entry side, noting all the changes they've made. They've adjusted the positions of the basketball hoops somewhat, moving the one by the back road fence even more to the left, and the main basket has been raised very high, and there's a secondary basket twice as high as well. I notice that they've also built very tall fences between this level and the middle level (guess so that balls thrown won't go between levels or get lost in the foliage). I continue looking at the tall netting and notice then that there is also a ceiling netting high over the entire basketball level, 50 or more feet up. I hope that it's strong so that if anybody climbs up there, it doesn't rip or they'd fall. I see briefly a circular section of the netting that looks like a 10-foot diameter spider web.

I take a running leap off the raised pathway and fly/glide low over the courts to the opposite corner (by the bike rack). The entire court is covered in what looks like scrunched up brown paper napkins/towels. They're light and I can easily brush them aside to see the shiny new flooring/ground-cover they've installed. There is some "new plastic" odor. I see shiny markings on the ground, bumpy and extending up from the surface like the stuff crosswalks are painted with, but colorful. I start to run across the ground and pump my legs really fast and wonder about running really fast. Then a brilliant emerald green object on the ground catches my attention, I'm wondering what this beautiful thing could be. As I can see more of it I "remember" [FALSE] that I've seen this before, it's a sort of walkway made from modular pieces that you can put together to make a path, and parts of it are black rubber and parts are that emerald gemstone material, but I think it doesn't look quite as good as I thought at first.

I notice on the main basketball court on the lower (but still high) hoop there is a sign: "females only". Well that's ridiculous, they've taken two of the courts and made them girls only, hardly any girls play basketball here, what's the point?

A man/coach is there now and he's getting some guys together to play some basketball. I say I can't play because <I have to do something, forgot>. He's got only 3 guys together to play, that's not enough.

(First Person Point Of View)
The first I remember was sitting on the couch in my living room of my old house(always have dreams about old house for some reason). My dad was watching TV and I got up and started to watch TV with him, I believe it was the news or something like that, for some reason I didn't want to be there I need to leave and go somewhere, anywhere. I darted out the door and started running and running.(I realized it was a dream right there because of how effortlessly I was running) I don't know why but I felt suckish and just wanted to be alone. I kept on running until I got to a big street that either turned left or right, no forward.
I looked left first and saw nothing but more road, couple of cars and trees. Then I looked right, and again saw more road and a couple of cars and trees, don't know why but I chose to keep running right. I kept running and running and I remember seeing a whataburger but I passed it cause I didn't want to waste time there.
I kept running until eventually I got to some city with many tall buildings, I walked into one randomly and I was now in some cafeteria, I walked past people who were wearing some sort of hospital robes, sitting down eating. 'I guess this is some sort of hospital?' I thought. I saw some stairs and I was about to go up until I heard my name behind me. I turned around to see my best friend(Anita), she came running up to hug me, which I gladly returned. "What are you doing here?" Anita asked. "I'm not to sure, I just ended up here." I responded. I looked at her up and down, and she was wearing a hospital gown too, I was shocked, I didn't know she was in the hospital. "Hey... well while I have you here, there's something I need to tell you." she continued, "so remember I told you I was sick?" I just nodded. "Well it seems like its worst... I'm not going to make it, its terminal... I don't have long, that's why im here." she finished. I was even more shocked, I could feel the tears welling up. I didn't have any words to say, I knew this was a dream but I couldn't help but feel like sh*t. "Hey, its okay... I'm come to peace with it, my life was a happy one and im glad that youre my best friend." she reassured me. I was about to say something until a nurse called her name. "I have to go do some stuff but I'll come find you later when I'm able to." she said with a smile. I couldn't say anything to her as she left with the nurse. I turned back to the stairs and started running up them, I kept going until I came to the roof of the hospital, I was really high up. I remember thinking, what if I jump? will I die? (like I knew it was a dream but I still thought maybe this will kill me?) I sat down on the roof and just talked to my self. "Will it really be that bad if I die? I might as well go with my best friend. heh... life isn't fair Is it? she doesn't deserve this, I do." That's when I felt something in my pocket. I took it out to look at it, a bomb? 'Perfect' I thought. 'A bomb this size will only be big enough to kill me and minimum damage to the surrounding area' I stood up. 'If I jump off the building while the bomb is on I can die mid air without hurting anyone else.' I walked to the edge of the building and looked down. 'Its better this way' I was about to activate the bomb but then I heard something behind me, I turned around and saw my family sanding by the stair door. They looked sad and worried. "Don't do this please." My mom weeped. I saw their faces but this didn't change my mind, I backed up onto the ledge, look at all my family in the eyes and said, "I'm sorry.." I let my self fall backwards. I heard screams from my family but I just closed my eyes and pressed the bomb button, I heard it beeping and I just fell waiting for the bomb to kill me. 'If the bomb doesn't kill me, the ground surly will.' I thought. But that's when in midair I heard what sounded what I thought was a jet, but no, I opened my eyes to see Superman flying quickly arms reached out towards me. He caught me in his arms, he took one quick look at me and grabbed the bomb from my hands and quickly threw it in the air, it exploded in the sky, safety away from us. We flew back to the hospital roof where my family was, once we landed I pushed off Superman with anger. "Why did you do that?!" I yelled. "Your not even suppose to be on earth, aren't you on a mission?!" He looked at me with sad eyes, "I heard you talking from galaxies away, the rest of the leauge will be here soon." He said. I looked him in the eyes, "Why did you save me?! I didn't want to be saved!!" Then for some reason a light flashed before us and I fell backwards apparently losing conscious. (I was still there but not looking threw my own eyes, I was looking at the scene in 3rd person point of view) After the flash Superman and my family saw what looked like another me, but my body was on the ground, this other girl looked like me but with different body features, such as having long white hair, and blue eyes. Superman saw this and was on guard, "Who are you?!" He asked. She laughed a loud laugh, "I am corruption, i live inside Alma, and now after all that time I'm at my peak." She responded. Corruption looked at my body laying on the ground roof, "Pity, she isn't dead yet, well I better make fun with the time I have now." She smiled. With that black lightning came out of her hands and struck Superman, he yelled in pain which was rare for him. I was now looking from Corruption's point of veiw, I tried to stop my actions but I couldn't. Superman was pissed now so he and Corruption started to fight in mid air. After a bit of fighting, Superman was losing until Corruption's powers weakened. "Oh poo, well it looks like my time is almost up." she said. "Not so fast, what did you do to Alma?" Superman asked. "Me? I didn't do anything, she makes her own choices I just help her make them." she laughed, "and dont try to stop me, I'll be back, I'll always be within her, growing, getting stronger, the day she dies is the day I have my body, but don't worry, when that day comes I'll be sure to take good care of it." She smiled. Superman was about to lazer her but then Corruption turned into black smoke that both her and me traveled back into my own body. I woke up with my family surrounding me, i notice that i wasnt in my disguise, i was in my heros uniform. I saw superman land on the roof and i was shocked on how many injuries he had. 'I did that?' I thought. My parents looked at me with fear in their eyes, they looked like they didnt know who i was(which technically they dont know me in my hero's uniform only the desguise) I couldnt dare to look at Superman in the eyes. I stood up, i felt so much guilt to what i did to Superman, what i put my family theough. I started to walk away from them, i felt Superman's hand on my shoulder, but i smack it off, i looked at him with tears in my eyes and said, "I- im so sorry, i didnt mean to, i-" i couldnt even finish my sentent, i flew off the building and just flew away from the scene, i remember hearing Superman flying behind me, telling me that 'its okay'. The last thing i said before waking up was, "Just leave me alone!"

Well this was a weird dream, it isnt the first but yea it was ome of those dreams when i didnt know it was a dream in the beggining. It was super intenst. Well until next dream, Bye~
P.s. - Pictures below are drawings of this dream.
If you have any questions just message me

I'm somewhere in a city, together with a white girl my age. We seem to be spies and we're a team. Perhaps we are also in a relationship, though I'm not sure about that. We're about to start our mission. We've definitely done something similar before, because as we start I even say something like "here we go again" in English. We're a few metres above street level and jump a bit down onto a brown wooden walkway (which I think wasn't meant to be a walkway) to cross the road. On this side of the road are a bunch of shops, in a neat row, like any shopping street. The building style is quite old, gothic perhaps. There's grey concrete pillars and presumably arches about 2 metres in front of the shops. We take care cause we spot a police officer outside and there's another one inside one of the shops. Both of them are white, one male, one female. I think it was the female who was still outside. We hide behind one of the pillars. We're right in front of a bookshop and we decide to go in, I think for information. The bookstore is well lighted, everything is bright. It's a neat place. I get a bit distracted by my passion for books. We look around, trying to be inconspicuous. They are having a sale. Every single book is 9 ... euro's? Pounds? Not sure. 9. As far as I remember, only the owner of the shop was present. She reminds me of a university lecturer I had.. or perhaps it's her. A white woman in her 40s with slightly curly hair. I'm not sure of the colour anymore. My partner and I only look, never touching any of the books. We're standing at a low bookcase near the window. My partner decides to go outside to view the books in the window. She gives me a look. I don't remember what type of look. Not to get distracted perhaps? I walk around the bookshop and once I've reached the final bookcase, I let out a small sigh. The owner, who is behind a round counter, responds to it. Something along the lines of "can't find what you're looking for?" I respond with "you must've heard that sigh a lot." She starts asking me about my book preferences so that she can help me out. I tell her that I'll read a lot of things. The last things I've read are fantasy books though. She is a bit uncertain, but finally decides to show me two books. I don't remember the first one (or perhaps the second one). The one that I do remember is a gigantic book. It's got a blue cover. At one point it's open on the very last page and I see a price that says "0.09". I know it's meant to be a price of 9 ... whatever currency. The girl is now back as well and we go through the pages, flipping carefully towards the front. There's no text. It's all paintings. At one point I see a painting of a man's face that a friend of mine made a year ago, only this is much bigger. I'm surprised by this. Did my friend's work get published somehow? Did she just copy paint an existing painting? We continue flipping. Dragon. Some of the pages are torn and the lady says we have to be careful. People have been mishandling this book, causing some tears along the lines of the paint. I like this book, especially considering it's price. There's no way I can take it with me though. I start anticipating a sales pitch from the woman. I anticipate that she will suggest home delivery. Even then, it would take up too much space in my room.

9/6 D1: As I was walking all through this dream I was walking in & out of decades & centuries! It was so odd. I was living in a home w/ other women we were always discussing men & women like things. We went to a store where I met a man. The store started out as a wal-mart/k-mart like store but then turned into a very old time store. Someone had stolen something & I went outside but now it was me walking out of a house onto the porch of a house that had a crazy Victorian like look & feel to it! I was still looking for the culprit but as I walked I kept walking in & out of time. Like whatever was there previously was where I was walking. As if many things had been built in the same place over the yrs. The landscape stayed the same. Then things were on fire & I saw a man on fire & melt. It was terrifying.

9/6 D2: I was w/ the same man from before & my parents were saying they were coming to get me. After I had told my parents about the previously mentioned store/house & being in & out of time they said they thought they should come get me. They probably thought I was losing it. They are atheist's & would never understand this concept. I was wanting to spend more time w/ the man I was with but the dream faded as Meesha Cat woke me up.

9/6 D3 & D4: Took a nap. Both were nightmares that I just couldn't hold on to because they were all jumpy & w/ my Veritgo it just made me dizzy trying to think about it. Let alone write it down.

Today: D1: I was in this big Victorian house. I've been in this house before in past dreams but it's been yrs since I've seen it. Friends I used to have were there & I wanted to buy the house. I was showing Mike the house. I spent an immense amount of time just walking through this enormous house because it was so familiar to me. It was greatly detailed. Light fixtures, books, bookcases, doorways ect.

I mention ppl that used to be my friends & by used to be I mean just that. I used to do drugs w/ them in my twenties & got the hell away from them. They were even to this day toxic people.... The house I mentioned could be a past life thing. It was amazing! I could've walked through it all day long!

Today D2: I was in this Dollar Store. I was trying to buy things early for Christmas but as I would pick up a few things & throw them in the basket, I'd look back & the other things I wanted would be gone. Then things from my basket were missing. This process repeated over & over & over.

All Non-lucids

LUCID DREAM #21

September 7, 2016: I am test flying (indoors) a small (~30cm) yellow and black radio-controlled model jet. After tossing it into the air and flying it in the tight constraints of the room, it goes to ground gently out of sight between a couch and the adjacent wall. It was difficult to see behind the couch to perform the retrieval, so I float-fly above the couch to see where it has landed. WAIT!? I'm FLYING! I'm dreaming! WooHoo!

Never once gave a thought to any of the TOTM's. I immediately start flying around the room which looks like a cross between our current living room and basement. As I fly I’m looking for an exit to the house. I fly down a short hall to the foyer of our front door and find a screen door that leads to the outside, which is day-lit and looks like a pleasant fall day. I try to pass directly through the screen. I "KNOW" I can - this is just a dream screen...but NOPE…I bang into it as if it were real. The sensation of my shoulder hitting the screen (with more than a little conviction and therefore “force”) is utterly real. Having failed to phase through the screen I open the door latch with ease, not willing to waste lucid time or effort on such a mundane and possibly fruitless task as phasing through a screen door.

Outside, I spot A. (perfectly rendered as she exists today) and (later) her best friend A. S. - less accurately depicted but still recognizable. Our daughter A. is standing on the walk leading to the front door of our current home.

I fly above our A. at about 50 feet altitude and look down at her, optimally positioning myself in front of her at about a forty-five degree angle. I call and wave frantically to her multiple times to see if she can hear or see me. At first, she couldn't, but I persisted. Eventually I gradually became apparent to her, but she expresses little in the way of shock or surprise. I tell her "Look at me! I'm dreaming and I can do ANYTHING I want!” Evidently she was not impressed.

I think she was on the walk waiting for her friend (also named A.) who soon joins her while all this is going on. I though seriously about flying up to her friend A. and attempting to get in some sexy time, but what with her being my daughter's friend and with my daughter right there on-scene, it for sure was NOT going to happen and my heart wasn’t really into it, anyway. Thwarted by the circumstances (and with other people waking up and making noise) I awoke. Wake time: 5:35am.

1. I was alone in my car driving on a 6 or 7 lane freeway. While doing so I looked at the sky in front of me. Half of the sky was filled with dark clouds that were literally almost pitch black. The other half of the sky was clear and dark orange-yellowish in color. "Holy shit there's a heavy heavy storm coming" I said aloud with content. I always loved storms as they always deeply relax me. For once I actually knew where I was going. I was headed to a camping site where me and the group of people I had joined were going to go camping. It didn't occur to me that this storm would really not make tonight an ideal night for camping.
About a minute or so later I got off of the freeway and pulled into the parking lot where I was to park. "Aright, the lady told me to park in the front of the parking lot. This looks like this is the front so I'm gucci" I said. Going about 5 or 10 miles an hour I made a left turn into the first row of this parking lot. I wasn't sure what I was seeing, but after a few seconds of getting a better look I realized that there were about 10 or so hot air balloons taking off from the parking lot. Some were higher into the sky than others, but for the most part the majority of them were just taking off. I slowed to a stop as an older lady approached my driver window. Knowing that she wanted to talk to me I put down my driver window.
"You're not supposed to park here. You're supposed to park in the front of the parking lot" she told me. "What? I thought this was the front of the parking lot" I replied. "No, the front of the parking lot is all the way on the other side" she said. I was rather confused. I looked in the direction she pointed as she showed me where the front of the parking lot was, and I saw no parking lot. All I saw was a thick field of overgrown grass, and even at that I couldn't see much considering the pitch black clouds were getting closer and closer to being directly over where I was. "Where the hell is the front of the parking lot?" I thought to myself still greatly puzzled.
Suddenly I found myself in a classroom. This wasn't a different dream because there was no break of dreaming in between. It was as though I had been teleported to a different location. The sky was no longer half pitch black with thunderstorm clouds; it was now clear with a few clouds here and there, at least from what I could see through the window. Class was just about to end, and as I looked to my right I noticed that Lizzy was sitting in the desk right next to me. She was currently wearing a black hoodie and gray sweatpants, and her hair was down. She smiled at me as our eyes met. "So you wanna chill in my car after class tuesday and go on a date?" I asked her. "Of course let's do it" she replied. With that, class ended and everyone left.
I left the school/college campus I was on and went to my car. I knew exactly where it was parked. Sometime along the walk to my car I became confused and ended up thinking that Lizzy was supposed to come chill with me today, but today was only monday. I got in my car and started it up. It was hot so I immediately turned on the AC to get it to start cooling up. I waited for quite some time. "Why isn't Lizzy here yet?" I thought to myself. Just then Dylan opened up the passenger door and got inside. "Dude, Lizzy isn't even here yet" I told him. "Didn't you say you guys were going on a date tuesday?" he asked me. "Oh shit that's right; it's only monday" I said. Dylan chuckled. I then became a rather disappointed. I didn't want to wait til tomorrow afternoon to see her again, but I knew I would have to wait.
As I continued to sit in my car I started to imagine Lizzy being here. I imagined us kissing the second she got in my car. "Tomorrow's gonna be great" I thought to myself. I came back from daydreaming to the sound of music playing in my car(music rarely plays in my car during dreams). "Dude, are we gonna go or what?" Dylan asked. Just then Braden opened the back door and sat in the left seat. "Turn up dude!" he said as he did so. I then proceeded to put my car in drive and leave the parking lot. As I did so, it occurred to me that my group never went camping.

Trouble sleeping night before back to work, woke 1.15am tried to recall dreams but unable to recall anything.
Then not only could I not remember dreams but I couldn't remember who I was or anything. Was real weird.
I had a thought that it was like reincarnation, my mind was a blank slate and I felt like I was floating, observing. Anyway was revelation time for me.
Had a horrible sore throat and cough which brought me back to reality.

D1 - In a rocky bay surrounded by cliffs, it was dark and the water was dark. In the middle of the bay high, high up above me was a gigantic knarled dead tree (as big as a skyscraper), its branches touching the sky. It was suspended above a frozen cascade of water, which touched the sea.
[After dream I felt this represented the Archetype of the tower from the tarot]

D2 - I am engaged with some others in anti-government operations and am inside the house of parliament.
We are leaving but first must take a video tape with us. It is white with a stip around it.
Needing to get away we take it hurriedly only to see that the 3 editors are looking gleeful, showing their teeth. When I enquire why, I find it is because unless they finish the procedure the tape will be wiped and useless within an hour. So we wait pensively for 4 mins and 19 seconds, then leave hurriedly.
Outside it is night, and we can see all the lights of the city.
I got a lift from hagrid (out of harry potter) on his motorbike up into the night sky. He was able to protect me from lightning.
[lightning is link to tower again]

D3 - Anne is asking at a dinner party whether to like a drama series as the ending is not the sort she would usually like.
I say that if she likes it it is because a part of her likes it, either he adult or child self and she should give it attention.
I ask her tentatively if she like the Highlander historical fantasy series.

1. I'm not sure exactly where I was, but I was inside of a large room. The lights were dimmed and it gave the room a sort-of glowing blue appearance. Suddenly I find myself talking to a girl named Lizzy. She had long black curly hair that went past her shoulders and was wearing a blue dress that looked perfect on her. "Cory, its been so long" she told me. "Do I know you?" I replied. "It's me Lizzy" she said. Suddenly a huge wave of memories came to me out of no where. In that moment I vividly remember spending a lot of time with her in the past. I somehow knew that these memories took place on another world. Going through these memories I saw all of the things we did together. One memory stood out to me and it caused a flashback.
In this memory we had both been walking through a field of tall thick grass together, and the sun was setting. We grew tired and came to a clearing in the field where the grass was alot shorter than the rest of the field. As we sat down in this small clearing we talked. I distinctively remember us both promising that we would never fall in love with each other because we lived way to far away from each other. The moment we made this promise I remember taking everything in. The wind was blowing Lizzy's hair and I looked into her bright blue eyes as the sun continued to set casting a deep orange hue all across the sky. I knew instantly that this was how it was supposed to be, but deep down part of me knew that I was making a mistake. I loved her, but something inside of me was trying to suppress this love because of the fact that distance would soon separate us.
I came back to the present moment and my eyes met Lizzy's. I wasn't sure what to make of the current situation; I felt lost, overwhelmed. Suddenly two guys walked into the room we were in from around the corner. These guys looked both of spanish descent, and I even recognized one guy as he is in my Macroeconomics class. These guys came over to us and we all made conversation. Instantly I could tell that these guys were hitting on Lizzy as they were not hiding it at all. I felt strong emotion in me, an emotion that told me to make Lizzy mine. I tried reading Lizzy's emotions but I couldn't tell at all what she was feeling in the current moment. I remember her laying down on the ground saying that she was tired. She laid on her side facing away from me and the two other dudes. We all sat down behind her for whatever reason, and the guy from my Macroeconomics class began to massage her.
Seconds into this massage Lizzy moaned my name in a clear way that she was feeling pleasure. The guy that was massaging her looked at me, and I thought about telling her that I wasn't the one massaging her, but I decided not to. Instead I laid down behind her and put my arm around her. This is how it should be; now all I wanted was for us to be alone.
Suddenly I find myself in a car parked inside of a parking lot that belonged to the church in front of it. I felt groggy and disoriented. "What the hell, I have to get back into that dream. Except this time I'll be lucid" I told myself. Suddenly I found myself falling asleep inside of this car that I was in and within seconds I saw a dream forming. Seconds later I was inside of this dream. "This is way too real. I have to be awake" I said to myself. And so I believed that I was awake and didn't achieve lucidity. Now I found myself standing on a sidewalk. I looked at the horizon in front of me and it was clear that it was morning because the sun was just starting to rise. Bright white clouds filled the sky, but it was only partly cloudy because I could still see the vibrant blue sky.
"Dude are we gonna go or what?" a voice from behind me asks. I turn around and see Patrick, as well as a gray sports bike that is parked. "Yeah of course" I said, still slightly disoriented as I got on the bike and put on a helmet. Pat got on the back of the bike and I started driving. I rode down the sidewalk and we came to a stop at an intersection, but I was still on the sidewalk. In front of me looked to be the start of some sort of city or market street. A lady in front of us started walking across the road towards a movie theater. After remaining stopped for a few seconds, I too went to the movie theater. I remember getting off of my bike and walking up some stairs into the theater.

Another big night! Semi-lucid moment, but otherwise, tons and tons of vivid dreams.

+ At the shoreline looking [emerging DREAM SIGN] looking into the water: it's fairly shallow and the water is full of reefs covered in rough white circular things like barnacles or clam shells (insides facing up). I'm looking for a spot where it is deep enough to snorkel and I'm not finding a lot of places.

I'm standing on the shoreline looking down in sand and the wave pulls back to the ocean and a little sand hole starts bubbling I stick a tupperware food container down on top of it in order to see it more clearly and like a screen I'm watching the bubbling hole through the semi-transparent tupperware: bub bub bub. Then I see other circular flat sea creatures like the cross-section of an anemone though the tupperware and I'm sliding the container around on the sand towards the water to observe more sea creatures

+ DO [disembodied observer], high (50ish feet) over a river, the river flows from right to left, I look along the length of the river to the left and I see that there are rapids areas, and large shelves of boulders emerging from the water. I'm looking for a path through the boulders and I see such a path. It leads to a very narrow, steep rapid chute. I see canoers heading for and entering the chute: each canoe is very narrow and long has 2 people: one in front, and one in back. As they enter the chute I feel a bit afraid for them because it's looks quite treacherous, but they dig in and paddle through it and emerge out the bottom. The force of their speed puts their canoe entirely under water by several feet, the heads of the people also underwater, and I see that they are continuing to paddle while completely submerged.

+(f) on a stairway leading up to a building, there are several buildings in the complex. There is some narrator or advertisement running about the company that operates these buildings

+ In some kind of structure, bare concrete walls and floors, someone is flipping quarters along the floor and they're bouncing off the floor and walls and this has something to do with some plan? Then I'm on the upper floor of this structure, it is an attraction run by my family. My mother [FALSE, not really her] is running the ride (which seems to be a slide?), I'm right in front of her. There is a container of squishy meat like some pate? There is a tube up from which come real coins which are the payment that the customers use, and also plastic coins which my mother takes and gives to the customers after receiving payment so that they don't use real coins for the payment. My grandfather [TRUE] is sitting on her right (my left) ahead of me, he's in line with my niece(?). I notice him briefly and think about talking to him and/or taking his hand which is close to mine, I get a warm feeling of love coming from him. I'm hugging my niece, she's as a small girl here, and rubbing my hand through her hair.

+(f) spiky/chainy/bicycle/motorcycle. Outdoors but under a cover like in a carport. Leaning against fence is a tall bicycle but it's full of sharp protrusions and has chains running all over spokes. I was going to ride it by GB from grad school jumps on it instead and rides it towards a table.

+(f) with group of people, we're talking about thin strong plates made from vegetable fibers, broccoli, celery, etc.?

+ I'm at my house and inexplicably my mother starts really nagging me severely (unusual) about getting ready for school?, and I have a thought that if you're going to do that it's better that (terrible thought). I'm outside and thinking about how I need to go to high school to take Spanish. I realize that I'm late and that registration is finished already, I'll probably be assigned a random schedule with all of the worst teachers. I think that if I have to go back to high school full-time, that would not be so bad after all. I'm thinking because I've lost a lot of weight that I'll probably get some attention from girls. Then I have a view of myself, slender, dressed in an orange shirt and a brown sweater vest, the shirt is coming out of my pants so I tuck it in. I think this is an odd combination but the more I look at the the more I think it's actually a nice combination. Then it seems like I'm looking not at me but at my best high school friend wearing this outfit.

+ I'm with my dad and I just learned that my mother died. I get incredibly sad that I'll never see her again, and turn away from my dad so he won't see my crying while I'm trying to write something on a piece of paper. I can't believe this news, she was just alive the other day I think. I think how sad my dad must have been on the day that she died, knowing that he had to take her to (the hospital?) and knowing he'd return without her. Strong sadness/grief.

+ I'm standing outside my CH on the street and face the house and get the idea to fly/jump up to the roof. I take a few steps down the rough/ruffled driveway and make a leap towards the roof over the garage, I know I'll take it but I'm not sure how, is my jump enough? I get a funny feeling like I may be able to fly? I seem to glide a bit in getting there. I'm standing on the roof over the garage and looking at the roof of the house, it's making some noise as I walk around a bit and I decide not to walk to the central part of the roof because my parents who are inside (the kitchen?) will hear me and I don't want that. There are metal angles set on top of the peak of the roof that I don't want to walk on. I turn around back towards the street and glide back over the street I decide not to land on the street but to keep going down the M's driveway that also desencds down giving me more room to keep gliding. I'm using my feet and hands to adjust my glide flight, and pull myself vertical to slow myself down. I land at the bottom of the M's driveway even though I could continue going as the land slopes down away from me. I see a fence about 20 feet ahead of me.

wake
Long BTS. Big struggle to get BTS. Try many things, visualizations, eventually, just "let go" more and more on every exhale.

+(f) there is a school bus parked in front of me, instead of windows all along both sides it has squares of wood paneling. Someone is talking about the white schoolbus. I'm watching it as it rides down a street. I correct the narrator, it's not white, it has wood paneling.

+ I "wake" to find myself lying in the gutter near the curb of a street in my boy scout sleeping bag. Standing over me are several girls, the girl in front of me is bottomless and I get a very clear view of her (ahem), I'm pretty amazed by this. I also notice the girl to my left is bottomless and I get even a better view of her's. I'm lying there then with my eyes closed and I feel her leg pressed up against my body. I stay like this for a while. Then I open my eyes and the girl in front of me is gone, I'm a bit surprised by this. Then I look to the girl on my left and she's lying uncomfortably and uncovered on the concrete sidewalk. I unzip my green down sleeping bag and spread it out and offer her to climb in with me (just as friends). I think that it's still really uncomfortable lying directly on top of the asphalt like that.

+ [vivid, beautiful] I'm entering a walled garden. I'm met by a beautiful girl dressed in light colored lavender. There are round bouquets of green plants with purples flowers on them hanging all over, I think this is lavender and pick up a bunch in my hand and bring it to my face to smell. There is a sarcastic girl there, too, who criticizes the lavender-wearing garden attendant/fairy girl. I walk through the garden, seeing round bouquets of handing purple flowers, these are pure purple with no green stems in them. I think they're amazingly beautiful. I say to the sarcastic girl, "Even if you're sad, you still can find beautiful things in life to make you happy."

+ indoors, I'm with a famous martial arts practitioner (Bruce Lee?). He's telling me that he's going to train a girl to fight. We're standing at a weapons locker and he's choosing two weapons that he's going to teach her with. The first one is like a quarterstaff with large (4x normal size) whisks at each end. The quarterstaff goes back and forth between being stiff and a flexible cord. I'm holding this thing and trying to figure out how you're supposed to fight with it. The best I can come up with is that you use the whisk end to trap your opponent's fingers in the metal loops. I hold the whisk end in my left hand and hit it and rotate it against my right hand, trying to trap my fingers in the loops. If doesn't work very well. There's some other weapon, small and (white?) made from a short cord and one or two things at the end that you're supposed to spin around in a circle really fast, he/I am spinning that thing around quickly.

I move back to the original room and someone enters suddenly and I leap up quickly into the air and float at the top of the ceiling (pretty high, 20+ feet?) and am looking down to see if I succeeded in avoiding being noticed.

+ (f) outside, bunches of people walking along the top of a concrete barrier. There are some girls there with whom I'm getting a bit "hands-y?"

+ Arriving at some garden terrace restaurant outdoors, tables there. My son S2 arrives walking with what looks like 3+ bottles of beer and something else and sees me and my wife and turns away quickly so we won't chastise him about having alcohol. I see son S1 sitting at a table drinking from some large container, and each time he takes a drink he shudders and shakes his head quickly like it's really strong alcohol. After he does this several times I ask him jokingly, "What are you drinking there, airplane fuel?"

Then my son S2 tells me how these two big black guys are running a blackjack ring where they take cash and turn it into chips and play and turn the chips back into cash, and I ask him, "Have you invested in this venture?", I wonder if it did but then where did he get the money to do so? Then a narrator is telling about blackjack. Standing at some metal door there is slot in the middle through which I see a section of a blackjack table. The narrator is saying that it is much better to play solo at a blackjack table, and en example is given where one guy (on the right) was playing with other people and "they took his good cards" and he lost. It's also better to play multiple hands at the table at the same time, you can get a lot more money that way. Then the view is of a full table as in a casino, several people are playing, and on the left towards 3rd base two dads and their kids are playing at the table standing on the dealer's side.

+ In some rich mansion, a woman has come to inspect? There is another woman there (who's work is being inspected?) There are also two ghosts/spirits/witches? there, every time the inspecting woman looks one way, the two spirits *POOF* into existence (with an animation like Harry Potter death eater translocation with smoke) and start doing things (cleaning?), and when the inspecting woman turns around they *POOF* vanish before she can see them. The problem is that the room is very cold, and the cleaning woman exhales and I clearly see her breathe vapor in the air, a big whooosh of it. Then when the spirits *POOF* back into existence they are covered with flames: they're burning so that they can warm up the room. They *POOF* in and out several times as the inspecting woman moves about the room.

I started out the night doing a new meditation. I was opening my core chakra's & tried to add a new one from the extended version which heightened my vibrations. I didn't close them because I wanted an OOB but what I got was a new bad experience.


First, I had a False Awakening in which I got up to go pee. I was exhausted when I started & kept thinking I had drank too much tea & this would interrupt my chakra meditation by me needing to pee. Like I said, I was just too tired & had just went anyway so I risked it. Which would explain the FA while doing my chakra exercise. Next was me climbing back into my bed & the following began.

I was experiences all the high vibrations of an OOB which excited me but alarmed me at the same time because I could feel vibrations that weren't created by me this time. I began also to experience the most intense pain on my body. I looked later for bruising but I haven't seen any but I have extremely sore spots on my chest, upper thighs, upper arm, wrists, ect. I also couldn't see which was a new thing for me. My other OOB experiences or attempts left me able to see but this time I couldn't. I was yelling for Mike to no avail. I could here my screams in my head but he couldn't here me. I could tell I was reaching for him in attempt to wake him up but it was my astral arm & hand. Eventually I was able to use my real arm & hit him. He woke up & of course he understood what had happened. I went to smoke 1/2 a cig in the bathroom to try & shake off the terror I was feeling & tried to come back to bed. I started back w/ doing my chakra's again feeling still scared but more in control. No dice on that front.

Then I entered in D1: I was at a retreat for lucid dreamers, people who could astral project & also had other abilities. I had brought w/ my tools of the trade which included books, notebooks w/ notes & diagrams, etc. The retreat was really familiar to me as did the ppl. (I'm not good w/ DC names unless they are from this waking life. The retreat came complete w/ sleeping quarters, practicing rooms, schedules, a communal eating area which we spent a lot of time catching up w/ each other & showing each other our newest knowledge that we had accumulated. I was doing really well w/ this. And it all felt totally natural. The familiarity was uncanny!Then I rolled into dream 2.

D2: I was back at the retreat for the next year & I hadn't been as prepared. (I've never ever experienced a dream in which time was played out like this, it was really new for me.) This time I had left vital information at home & had slacked off a bit. I had noticed that now others were doing much better w/ their new research. And then things got odd. An old boyfriend of mine was there from my childhood. Anyway he was ignoring me in the dream & I tried to be patient in hopes that things would okay. Unfortunately it didn't happen even in the dream.


He was my last boyfriend I had when I had been ripped from my home in my 8th grade yr due to things beyond my control. There is a lot of history w/ him & when I was just 18 we had a falling out because I was smoking pot & got details screwed about the details that led up to my departure in 8th grade up while on the phone. These circumstances are way too long for me to journal today. I've written of things pertaining to this subject in old journal entries on DV. Any way, This was an extremely hard thing for me to except throughout the yrs. Not to mention his best friend & my childhood friend was also on the phone. Till this day I can't find them anywhere to make amends . Anyway he was ignoring me in the dream & I tried to be patient in hopes that things would okay. Unfortunately it didn't happen even in the dream.

I feel as though I could very well have been a part of something like these retreats in a past life. Your soul lives on when you die. Also there are also core ppl that are present in these lives. I think somehow the previous dream bled into my existing dream sequence some how & it changed the dynamics of it.

Astral Projection/AP-Brown/OOB

Bed around 10pm - read some stuff on DV
Listened to audio book on dream yoga before sleep - drifted off thinking about good things todo in Lucid Dream like going through walls and testing out ridged views of our usual 'fixed' reality...⚡️

Woke around 3/4am with some dream fragments and put them on my audio recorder. Main scene that stuck in my mind is me coming out to sit with a big group of people on the grass ...a festival like setting - very friendly. I wonder if they know me and might ask me to speak. I am relieved when I can sit down unnoticed - someone comes out with some food and the person next to me says its for me - I say thanks but I haven't ordered yet..they don't seem to care and want me to have the bowl with a Cardamon Pancake folded at the bottom. It looks delicious so I am happy to take it - just the smell warms me up - it's a lovely setting 🌈

I get up for wbtb around 4.40 and lay back down around 5.10am.
I am glad I managed to stay up and sit with a clear mind and set intentions nicely for lucid dreaming this day - great! I lay for a while relaxing - fan on for coolness and sound, earplugs in - I am in my world - I will lucid dream tonight💫

Felt the onset of fantom limbs a few times but haven't managed to manoeuvre my way out or through this stage yet - so I fall a sleep and Dild later on.

I am with G we are in a tunnel/underground caves - it's dimly lit. It feels dangerous - I spontaneously know I am dreaming. No RC but ongoing presence is clearly with me - the dream feels significant - I start to catch glimpses of shadows walking through tunnels that lead out or off directions we walk in... We seem tobe lost but not panicked - just moving with care and slight anticipation. The shadows I see start to become very clearly visible - they are huge prehistoric creatures! They walk as if stalking...us or anything that moves. ⚡️⚡️⚡️I know we cannot be caught by these creatures and that they are about 10 times our height and width etc. It seems they walk past tunnel exits I see and they never seem to look in our direction which I am very relieved about...but I know it could happen in a jot of a second so I feel we have been intensely lucky with our speed/direction and choice of movement etc

We see an exit and move quickly towards it - it's in the form of escalator/stairs - we move quickly up them. I look back and catch the eye of one of these huge creatures ...it turns and charges us at full speed head seriously gunning for us! I know it could reach us before we get up and out of this place and being lucid in my dream I call out a spell ✨

" ✨Invisible wall there now - nothing can pass it!" ✨I point my arm/hand at the area directly in the area between us and the predictor heading for us...

It seems the spell didn't work as the next instant I see the beast flying throughout the sky towards us and about to land on us ...fine I call out to the Dream as my witness in this intense situation

" This is a dream!" - 😜I call out - So then The dream body of this heavy creature passes through or I should say glides though my dream self and G's - it feels magical ✨

I wake feeling relieved and happy after my lucid adventure! 😎

I lay still and wait for the next dream opportunity - it comes🌅

I am lucid again in the dream ( Deild/dild I think ) I am talking with a beautiful woman with lots of make up and thick blond hair - dressed colourfully and luxuriously. She ooses attractive warmness and I am drawn to converse with her. We have a nice connection and sit closely - I ask her some important questions about my life situations at his time - things I have been wanting to ask recently - about a house and area we may go to live. She says its a no brainier - it will be good for us and our name is on that house - I am happy. We talk more and play around in an open fun way🌹🌠🌹 I think I am waking quiet a few times while we sit speaking ~ each time I use her face to bring the dream back into focus and feel stronger in the lucidity of the dream. I home in on her intensely makeup' face and it looks so very very clear ...like I can see every pore - I love doing this and hope to remember to do this more and more as it helps stableize fading lucidity - I think

Thanks whoever you are ( part of me right 😊 )wherever you are - I hope to meet you again soon🌺🌺

hard time falling asleep initially, lots of thoughts, very stressful day, took 2mg melatonin after about 45mins of trying to fall asleep

+(f) entering (saloon?) with lots of people, entering auditorium with sloping curved seating area [DREAMSIGN] walking along top, playing some sport/game with girls / balloons running/flying up and down over the seats

about 4 hrs:

+ LD#199 in room doing math homework with BF MR, equation, trying to find pencil with eraser, erase extra zero, easy equation, is this only the 4th math assignment all year? Turn page over to front to look. Problems are of medium difficulty stay up late to finish, MR talks of dreaming! (head that pops up, fall into arms of dream girl), I get up and move to curtains all along windows to the right and around the corner of walls blinds vary, some venetian and pointed wrong way, pull-down polarized shade, outside it is night but there's a parking lot with tons of lighting so lots of artificial street-lamp light is shining in, I want to close the blinds so we won't be seen [DREAMSIGN] and move from window to window, some close OK, some won't, as I go the blinds and the polarizing pull-down sheets get rattier and full of holes. I return to my place at the table across from MR and as I sit down I'm surprised to see that there is half of a broken plate on the table at my place. Why is it here/where did it come from? Did MR break the plate? I'm confused/shocked by this and do a nose pinch, feeling a bit embarrassed about doing so since I'm so clearly awake, but I can breathe and I'm now lucid. I get up and go around the table behind MR and say "Hey, M, I'm dreaming! What do you want to do? <something>, <something else>, Get some girls?" MR doesn't answer so I decide for girls . I decide there will be some girls behind the front door. I turn towards the front door and now I'm outside in daylight in a wide open parking-lot like space and the white front door is about 50 yards away on the far edge of the lot. I gesture towards the door and two women come through. A bit old, but I approach them and hug one and while I do I'm noticing that there are people entering a shop to the left, including a cute girl. I move to go into the shop but the crowd interferes so I fly/jump up over the people and the stuff in the way and enter the door to the shop. I look around and see the girl to the right sitting down, I go to her and sexy time ensues (meo 2016-09-01#1)

Very excited by this early LD, very very bright and clear and vivid, takes me some time to fall back asleep.

+ I'm standing on a beach facing an ocean. There are large (1-meter) waves crashing on the shore every few seconds. I'm peering into the water, I'm trying to determine how clear the water is. It is mostly clear but has a little bit of the "Caribbean blue" tint to it. I see that visibility would be very good. I think about going in to the water with goggles or mask and enjoying the clear water. I think I see something in the waves submerged (a walrus head?).

+ billiards get a table only 9-ball rack, will ask for 8-ball rack, look at balls, many of them (the non-9-ball ones?) are not spherical! How can one play with this? Two guys next to me, talking about smoking, I think isn't that illegal indoors now here?, one lights up and stands in area open to the sky not covered by ceiling and I see a cloud of his smoke quickly dispersing up into the sky, he stood there because it's more efficient to get rid of smoke that way

+ basketball, can't make a shot (airballs, even from up close), pull-down temporary basket in addition to main basket, my basketball keeps becoming a pumpkin, sometimes so large it clearly won't go through the hoop, make a great bank shot into a sideways pointed basket, proud of myself, then another guy after me makes the same shot

+(f) ST #1

Spoiler for sexy encounter:

grab the boobs of a woman, perhaps lucid?

+ ST #2 Zombie/discolored Paul McCartney being interviewed, tray of 4 small round tribbles/girl heads/faces

Spoiler for sexy encounter:

pick the cutest of the head/animals in the tray and, uh, make use of it

Go outside and look up at the sign on the storefront, narrator says that your abilities that you use become part of the traits that are passed down to your descendants (talking about game characters?), I'm wondering what my traits are, and on the sign I see different kinds of tea advertised (green, black).

+ ST #3 I'm sitting on the side of a tub next to the toilet in a bathroom (in my house [false]), there are guests over and naked girls keep appearing and getting into the tub. The crowd in the room grows. One (naked too) is kneeling down in front of me leaning her torso against my legs and her arm is draped across my knees. I'm liking this attention and contact but I'm wondering what my wife will think of it so I'm trying to stay cool and not react. I'm trying to peek around obstructions to see the "good stuff" on the various girls but not much is clearly visible.

+ LD#200 walking in crowd, notice cute girls, think wouldn't it be great to be dreaming now? Ah well, might as well check, <nose pinch> HEY! I AM dreaming...sidle up to one but don't engage, keep going, in the distance I see a woman and I'm thinking of Carmela Soprano, get with her and a nice ST ensues (meo 2016-09-01#2)


+ overhead view, it seems to be some sort of video game. There is an above-grond space and there is a (manhole?) leading down to a lower subterranean level, I decide to (click?) to go down to the lower level, inside there is a wild castle with moving parts, and I go closer, I have a view down into a palace of some sort with no roof. There are chests in a room and what seem like some treasures on tables. Aha, if I could get in there I'd get those. As I watch some character picks up a treasure and walks with it down a hallway, I want to keep watching so that I can see which chest he places it in.

+ LD#201 walking down stairs with some short/boy DC and I suspect a dream do a nose plug and get lucid. The moment I'm lucid but still finishing the nose plug we reach the bottom of the stairs and the boy turn his head to me looking over his left shoulder and his head is distorted and strangely shaped (too short, overly wide/round) and has an odd looking face. His expression is not friendly. Decide to get a girl for both of us. Go to a girl and things get very abstract and weird, but continue anyway, I go first and then indicate he should take a turn, then I take over again and wake up.

+ in scene in restaurant people seated at round tables, I'm standing and my [deceased] father in law is sitting at a table, I'm standing behind him he turns towards me away from the table. He's talking about his home town I'm having trouble understanding his foreign language, he says "Sevastopol" [FALSE]. My attention is not on him fully. He chastises me for not paying attention, "looking over there, looking at the hair on the back of the head of that woman there,". Then I'm in a bedroom my wife says her mother [deceased] is outside in the car and thirsty and needs water, I'm sitting on something and hear the crinkling of plastic containers. I reach under the blanket and pull them out. They're filled with water. One of them is the old milk bottle I've been using as a water bottle but recently lost [TRUE!] and think "Oh, there it is." I show them to my wife and get up to take them to her mother out in the car, but I notice that there is some debris/little pieces of junk [dental floss, a flosser?, small white plastic thing] in the water and I go to a toilet/sink there in the room to pour it out and clean it but I think the plastic think may clog the sink.

+ girls/class, paper, registration, the girls are filling out some forms on pads of paper. I'm annoyed that nobody gave me a piece of paper to fill out. I notice that they've drawn their names by filling in square boxes (like graph paper) on the paper. I see the paper is normal lined paper so they had to draw in the vertical lines themselves. They say they filled in one for me so it's OK? I see that there are sections on the form to indicate which side you (use as a computer mouse?) so these forms will be used to customize the keyboard given to you?

D1: Non-Lucid: A guy looked a lot like "Chuck" Saul's brother, from "Better call Saul". So I went there w/ the pony & it turned out to be something like a big feed store where you buy in bulk for animal food. He had some stalls in the back. The guy got really mad at me & said that we didn't deserve a pony & that we murdered our dogs. He told me we were criminals. Kept calling me a dog murderer. I was crying in my dream & in real life. I could here myself. So I knew I was dreaming but I still had to defend myself for personal reasons. I told him that wasn't what happened. I was hysterical & he kept yelling. But then he went around the corner which is the exact moment I knew I was dreaming, crying, & screaming. I started back in on him after I rounded the corner. He suddenly stopped & looked at me like I was crazy & said, "what are you talking about, I didn't say that."

I woke up still screaming & crying & Meesha Cat was loving on me. Then I realized all the screaming had freaked her out & woke her up. She had peed all over my bed. This was not a good start to the morning. I had to get up & wash all my shit & console my poor cat. So I finally got back to bed about 2 hrs later... Oh, & the dream was some small guilt I still carry about rehousing our dogs due to my health. They all got homes & yes I now have a cat but she's never under foot like they were.


D2: Lucid- Mike & I were driving to go see my Grandpa Harry. (He passed away 24 yrs ago) We were going around a sharp curve on what looked like the side of a mountain.It was getting dark & I was starting to panic. Something went wrong w/ the brakes & we were airborne. I was driving. I held his hand & said "I love you, Mike." I thought we were going to die! I had this strange feeling right then though. I had to try & do something. Part of me thought this has to be a dream & part of me thought this could be real. So when I told him I loved him & held his hand I went full on lucid. I slowed down time & willed us to be in a bubble away from the car & we slowly floated down.

D3: I had a big fight w/ a guy who was treating like shit. Apparently he was seeing me & another woman. I got really mad & started teleporting all around which freaked him out while I was yelling at him. He was so confused, lol. I started to get lucid but my phone went off & I had to deal w/ real life. Sigh. That would've been 2 lucids. Oh well.

This dream was a reward bestowed upon me from my subconscious for having a really rough night sleep. I experienced a little REM atonia that I was unable to transition into a lucid dream from. Then I couldn't get back to sleep for ages. Then this lovely non lucid dream happened:

I'm recounting this dream initially as narrator, because for most of the dream I was merely third person observer, and entirely unaware of my existence. It started out with a king whose name I don't know, his queen named Elizabeth, the Kings mother, and a small but suspicious looking staff. The king was not a bad man per say, but he wanted the best for Elizabeth. He wanted a big castle lots of gold and servants. But he was not a rich king, so the way he made his riches was by going from kingdom to kingdom and swindling the current king out of his castle and staff and gold. The way he would do this was by betting the king that his mother could make a handful of marbles disappear under some cups. It's not really understood for sure from my perspective if his mother actually had any magic powers or if she was just a really good con artist too, but every time the poor king made this bet, the richer King would lose and the former king and his queen Elizabeth and his staff would inherit the castle.

The dream really started to get rolling when the poor king inherited a beautiful castle on top of a Mountain with a very steep cliff. The poor King liked the richer King so much that he allowed them to remain on staff in the castle without having to leave or be banished. Now I say that the poor King was not a bad King or inherently evil in anyway, but he was rather greedy. It seems like enough gold was never enough for his queen. sometime went by while they were at their new castle, when the king started to get worried that he wouldn't have enough gold. So he turns to his original staff of servants, who has now been promoted to nobleman and councilman to the king, for ideas on how to acquire more gold and riches.

The creepy staff started to show their true colors on this one. They met in a conference room in the castle, and this is kind of important: there were seven staff members. This will come up again later. They told the king to tax the peasants nearly to death, and give them the opportunity to make the money back by participating in brutal gladiator style sports. The nobleman would pay gold to watch the sports. Then the peasants would pretty much all die from these bloodsports. So basically the king only made money and lost none with this idea. The queen was in the room during this discussion, and begged the king not to do this. But the king had changed somehow, from fear of losing money and losing her and brain washing from this evil staff, he wouldn't listen to her. She pulled on his arm and begged him to look at her and change his mind, when he yanked his arm out of her grasp, reared back and smacked her in the face.

The queen asked what her punishment would be for standing up to his Royal highness. His face looked evil now, as he said that her punishment would be to be beaten in the dungeons and then banished where she would probably just get killed by the peasants. So she backed away from him towards the door to the balcony if the conference room and begged him for one last drink of wine with him from their marital chalices. He had an expression on his face like it was a stupid idea, but he turned to fetch the chalices anyway. The moment he did this, the queen jumped from the balcony to her death. The king screamed her name and rused to the balcony.

This is where the dream took a really odd turn for me specifically. I was suddenly not so much observing the story as I was a little bit a part of it now. No one could see me but I was able to walk to the balcony and stand right next to the king where we both looked down. You couldn't even see all the way to the bottom. All I could see was a final wisp of the Queens red silk dress as it disappeared beneath the fog. I never even heard the sound of her hitting the ground. At that moment I flipped over to the other side of the balcony and hung onto the edge so that I could face the king, willing him to see me. I said "your majesty, we have to do something. Your queen's dead body is on the ground and someone is going to see it." The expression on his face looked as if he could hear me a little bit, but couldn't see me. I repeated myself louder, and suddenly his wide grief-stricken eyes were directly upon me. I told him that I would go get the body before somebody saw her, and I told him that I would be his new counsel from now on because I believed that his current seven members were evil trolls in disguise as humans. He simply nodded and turned around and left.

So I let go of the balcony, and floated slowly down to the ground. I remember thinking to myself that I must be some kind of fairy lol. I couldn't see the queen at first so I kept walking down the gutters that were all along the base of the cliff. I finally saw the wind fluttering through some red material. It was the queen's dress, but it wasn't the wind moving the fabric, she was moving. I rushed up to her and I noticed that she was very much alive. I was worried that she was in a lot of pain and probably dying from such a fall, but she sat up and looked at me. I asked her if she could walk, and she stood up but stumbled a little. So I decided to carry her back into the castle and hide her to keep her safe until I managed some kind of plan .

Of course there was an elevator in the castle. My silly ass subconscious. I got on to the elevator still holding the injured queen, when I noticed there was a staff member operating the elevator. Not one of the original seven, but one of the original staff of this castle before the poor king inherited it. I asked for the six floor, because I knew there was a library on that floor. For some reason that seemed important at the time. The queen suddenly looked up at the elevator operator and recognized him as a troll in human disguise. I asked if he was going to turn us in. He said he would not. Not all the trolls in the castle were evil, and he hinted that he knew I knew which ones were.

The only way the queen could have survived that fall, as well as being able to recognize disguised trolls, was if she were also magic in some way. I wasn't sure if she was a fairy or troll or what, but I took her to the library on the 6th floor and was able to turn her into a wisp of smoke and hide her in one of the books. A red book. There she remained for the next 6 years, healing and gathering strength, while the king and his 7 continued with the plan to extort gold from, as well as the lives of the peasants.

It didn't feel like 6 years, it was just referenced by someone, I forget. But I did watch some of those 'games.' They were awful: partially dismembered peasants limping and crawling through a muddy coliseum, trying not to get mauled by wild animals or trampled by gladiators on horse drawn carriages. There was lots of blood and mud and screams. I decided it was time to finally end this madness.

I went to the library and grabbed the book with the queen. I also grabbed 7 green books, and kept them all concealed. I spoke to the queen in the book, telling her it was time to confront the king again, and that I would take care of the 7. She expressed concern that it was one thing for a king's ego to sustain the truth about being wrong in the moment about a single wrongdoing, but it was another for the same ego to withstand the force of realizing he had been wrong for 6 years. I told her this had to be done regardless. Besides, seeing that his beloved Elizabeth had survived might soften the blow.

I went to the conference room to speak with the king, but of course the 7 were with him. I asked for privacy but they wouldn't budge. So I turned them into wisps of smoke and hurtled each one into a green book, while keeping the book of the queen still hidden. I told the king to listen to me and keep an open mind about this. I pulled out the queen's book, a red silk book similar to her dress fabric, and opened it, facing the pages toward the king. She poured out of the book into a pool of silvery smoke, and barely took on a corporeal form. He tried to embrace her but couldn't. She told him to listen to her, as tears streamed from his eyes. He said, "Elizabeth" so sweetly, and she just began to take on her human form once again, and them I woke up.

I'm pretty sure everything turned out OK.

+ there's a group outside standing in circle down a hill a bit away from me, someone says "they're into Big Boob" [meaning some large women go topless, don't see it], then I'm with group playing catch with a volleyball and I'm lying down girl intercepts throw to me I get back at her by holding out my hand and "force pulling" the ball back to me

Inside a room/building with a door to the outside, there's a man there he opens a drawer it's filled with individually cellophane-wrapped treats, I open one and eat it it's a small ice-cream sandwich with white ice cream and plain brown cookie "buns", it's creamy and good and I'm taking bites from it for a while

I'm in a large open outdoor area in sunlight, I see a path on hills to the side, then I see a hillside next to me up close: it's remarkable, it's a natural display of multiple levels of earth and rock formed over the aeons. There are fields with tall weeds/grass nearby. My dad is in an adjoining field, far away to the side. He's saying something about trying to climb up the dirt cliffs on the other side and how hard this may be, it might collapse. I turn in his direction and head his way, I see that his position is under a cliff with tall trees growing on top. I jokingly call out to the tune of "George of the Jungle": "WATCH...OUT...FOR THAT...TREE!".

+ (vivid, present) I'm standing alone the side of my former CA home [location details don't really match though at this point], walking along the fence, and I stop and notice a break in the fence. This has me really confused, I can't remember a break in the fence. I'm standing for some while here trying to sort out what's going on. I don't remember this break, you can see right through to the neighbor's yard. I have a vague recollection that this part of the fence was previously broken [FALSE]. Then I see that it's not open at all, there is a chain link fence in the gap in the solid fence [this just appeared now], now I'm satisfied and stop thinking about it. But now I see that the fence top curls over our property and that someone could climb this fence and get into our house through a window.

I'm in the back yard of former CA home [this time accurate], playing tennis ball catch with my old dog L along the long open width of the property over the grass, some people are watching standing in the middle of this length around the start of the grass. I'm holding out my left hand with thumb separated from fingers widely in a "grabbing/grasping" gesture in order for L to run up to me and shove his face with the ball right into my hand so I can grab it, just the way I did with L when we would play this game. I grab the fall firmly, L lets go and starts running away from me in anticipation of the throw, and I bowl the ball quickly/strongly so that it overtakes L and L puts on a burst of speed and adjusts to the path of the ball. I throw it for L several times then I get concerned that L is old an this may be too taxing for him so I decide to throw more slowly and stop the game, and on the last throw L slows down and lies down for a rest. I think the observers are impressed with L's chasing ability and speed.

+ walking outdoors daylight I'm walking along the top of a dike's concrete spillway. Some European country? There are large bodies of water both on my left (at the level of the top of the spillway) and my right (10-20 feet below the level on the left). I reach a place where there is a valley/chasm, a bridge and a security/guard station is right there. The chasm is deep and the way to the bridge requires jumping/scrambling down rocks and leaping out into a platform. I'm quite hesitant because the drop is very far, a deadly fall. I end up making a "leap of faith" and grabbing quickly to the surrounding rock outcroppings to stop from falling, and turn around. Some people (backpacking/hiking?) are coming up, a family group, I speak briefly to the man?

+ indoors I'm sitting with a group of young people in a room, we're all sitting along a bench/couch along the long wall of the room. I'm leaning out and describing the rules of a game to everyone, I'm the game director. The rules are that each person gets a turn at first to take some action. Then the person they act upon gets to respond to that action, then (and this is the original part of the game I mention), the original actor gets to respond to the response. After each person gets a turn at an initial action and all the follow-up actions/responses are complete, that constitutes one turn. I say it can easily take 20-30 minutes for one turn. I'm wondering if I'm prepared enough to lead the story of this game.

+(f) arriving outdoors to some house at night, a deserted area nothing is around but open fields.

+(f) inside a house on a second floor room, I see a disheveled big dirty man, at first concerned but he introduces him self as [some single syllable name] and holds out his hand and I shake it and he says he's signed up for 2 days of work, then he'll leave.

+ in group of people at some party/barbeque, SerAru is on the other side of a glass wall (he's cooking at the barbeque?), and I open the door and lean out and first sing a little bit, I think people will think I have a nice voice, but my voice to me actually sounds fairly out of tune. I say to SA I'm going to the game, does he want to join me? He shakes his head.

Later, I'm shopping for clothing (for others, uniforms?) and taking off a sticky label from the clothing. [It's a purple and white horizontally stiped golf shirt?], I'm wondering if I should get matching shirts for everybody?
