memorable

I have to explain what happened before this dream. Mike & I took were really stressed out. We got unexpected news that his boss was demoted. They told her she could either be fired or moved to another plant. It was a big blow on so many levels. No one is safe at Mike's job now. They lied & said the firings were over but restructuring will continue, which really means more firing. When the 5th biggest company in the world by yours company there is no rhyme or reason anymore. It's a long story but in the end we were both really exhausted from it all.... Anyway I decided to do a meditation before bed about needing a spirit guide or some sign in my dreams of ways for me to contribute to our household by looking online for a side job that I could do online. I can't work a regular job due to medical reasons & I have looked before but I just couldn't find one.... So while I was meditating a woman w/ short hair appeared in my head. I've seen her pop in there before one other time. Hence the dream that follows... About the meditation. I merged the whole "See, Hear, Feel" method w/ a new meditation that involves self discovery & betterment of my soul.



D1: I was looking for information in my dream & a boy brought me a book. I then encountered the same woman I have seen twice now during my meditations & finally in my dream. I showed her the book & she smiled like we had found just what we were looking for. I believe she may be one of my spirit guides.... There were men coming so we hid crouched under a staircase.

D2: I had a dream of Nebulus. Sorry Neb but I don't remember the specifics, except that it was the real you, not the Nebulus you. I woke up quickly & ran to the bathroom to blow my nose. I still am not feeling much better but I got some meds for it which is helping.

In one of them I thought my girlfriend had a harry back but really she was taking off her sweater or sweatshirt. Then another version of her came in the scene and she said, that's my twin! My gf doesn't have a twin though...

In another dream I'm searching for stuff on a bed. Don't know what I am looking for. There seems to be someone from my girlfriends family that asks why we are not married yet and I feel like the guy doesn't like me.

In yet another dream I think I must of asked a lady to walk with me and we start walking and begin to talk. I could actually hear what was being said by me and her it wasn't very much talk because I was startled a what I said and she replied what then I woke up...

In another dream I am trying to explain to someone something. I remembered what it was when I woke up but now I can't remember.

This was recent. Maybe before the bloody teeth dream but I thought a lot about it and I didn't wanted to post it till I understand it full. I have my own take on this, but someone else's help might help. I know that this site is not about making sense of dreams, but maybe someone could help me understand it better.

In this dream I walk through a strange rundown building, neither an office building or a hospital but a strange mix of the two. There is no furniture in the building and there is debris everywhere. The glass from the big windows are missing and outside is dark and there's a full moon. I'm in one of the floors, elevated from the ground although I do not know which one exactly. I walk through the corridor, avoiding the glass shards and debris in my way and occasionally looking out the window. I'm in first person view. I only where a black shirt, black pants and no shoes or socks that's why I walk super carefully. Another important part is that I do not know if I am man or woman - in my dreams I frequently change genders, like it has no meaning to my dream self whether I am one or another. Now I am none.

On the end of the corridor there is a hospital emergency door, in pretty good shape. I open the door and enter the empty room. There is no medical equipment in the room but here to is junk and debris, the middle of the room stands a very old wardrobe, one from my childhood that usually contains my parents clothes and the same one that once I needed to paint white. It is a little bit dull now, but empty and stands wide open.

I can make the decision of whether get into it or not. I do not think this is lucid dreaming because this where like options like in a video game: yes or no. I choose yes and get inside the wardrobe closing it. Inside there was darkness but there was a triangle shaped keyhole which I could peep through. It was oozing this strange orange light.

When I look through it I see a strange, small and pathetically empty room. But it was still littered with papers and books, like a room of a very busy writer, but without any place to put the papers so they just piled up and went forgotten. Before the wardrobe where I could see stood an old and plain table, like a small dining table for two or four person, but now it was pushed up to the wall and burdened with papers and books, the same way like the floor was. There's an uncomfortable wooden chair that is shoved aside and a man standing in front of the table, blocking the light so I couldn't tell that it was coming from a candle or an old lamp. The man is busy putting things away or way from his way. But instantly I knew that this man, this person was me in the future or in an alternative universe achieving the biggest goal. The goal that I too want to achieve: he became a great writer, a writer who had work and did nothing just work and create and all the papers and books were his creation.

At this point I started to envy the man. I was at a point of my life where I couldn't create, I couldn't write, I still can't toady! An unbreakable writers block is before me and I'm suffering and my heart clenches and I can't breath as I watch him from the closet. Wanting to come out but it is not my option.

When I think this, he stops whatever important thing he was doing and slowly turns, looking at the closet. He has my face, and he is me. Looking at me. He noticed, he knew. Then steps before the furniture with a firm step and looks inside the hole. It looked like the all seeing eye, the symbol of a god, looking right into my eye. What did he see while he looked inside? Did he see a god staring out of the closet, some hope from his past self? Or did I see a god in my image? Disturbing but I can't look away. I'm not that strong to disobey him.

But this me has blue eyes, and that struck's me. I have green eyes.

As we stair into each other's eyes the room from the outside starts to spin and starts to get dizzy. I get dizzy and the world over there blurry. When the spinning comes to a stop there's a white light coming inside. Cold and uncaring, is what the feeling that washes over me and I open the door.

Outside another room with almost glowing, shining walls and uncanny cleanness. The room is small, again, and has three doorways, with the door frame without the actual door, they lead into three different corridors and they are dark. One can not see anything.

I am small. The wardrobe compered to the room and the doors is small of course me in with it. The room however is full with a crowed of monsters made out of tar, oil and every nasty black liquid that exists on earth. They have sharp teeth and eyes glowing bright white like the wall of the room, they belong here and don't belong here and the black clothing that I were resembles their black slickly-slimy bodies. They find this resemblance funny and laughable. The room is filled with mocking and bad laughter as I open the door and peek out. They mock me because I could never be like them and I won't even reach the greatness that they represent like they are authority figures above me. That's the air they radiate, and the smell of a swamp. They tar is everywhere on the floor.

Here is another choice: step out or stay. I jump out and as I land right in the middle of the mocking circle and as my bear feet reaches the ground I feel the cold, white floor. I missed the tar, thankfully. But the moment I land I start to grow and expand, the room grows with me, the doorways too and I'm so surprised I can't even talk. I look down, always look down but now I am the one who's filling up the room, the ceiling reaching the top of my head and I feel superior. I made it. The laughter dies out and the now small creatures, monsters stare up at me. I see their little eyes sparkle as the blink, but their mouths now are closed and there's nothing but awkward silence.

Then I woke up.

(First Person Point of view)
I remember waking up on the couch of Bruce Wayne's library, I looked around and notice Alfred carrying tea and about to go through the clock to the Batcave. I checked my self in a nearby mirror and I was in my uniform and looked the way I always make myself look in the dream. I caught up with Alfred and he looked at me happy. "Miss Cross, your awake." He Said. "Alfred, I told you before, jut call me Alma. Anywhoo, what are you doing? Where's Bruce?" I asked. "He's in the Batcave with some guests." He said while pressing buttons on the elevator. I was kinda confused and thought to myself, 'Bruce has guests? In the Batcave? Who would he possibly have?' Then it hit me, the Justice League! Alfred and I went down the clock elevator, we came to the Batcave and I rushed out and started to run down the stairs yelling, "Guuuyyss!" They all looked at me with smiling faces(except Batman, but that's normal with his in uniform) I ran face first into Superman's chest. "I missed you guys, y'all never visit" I said as I hugged Superman. "Alma! Good to see you!" he said as I hugged the other Justice League members. Barry picked me up and skinned me around, fast. "How's my niece?" He asked while laughing. "I'm good uncle Barry! Now put me down, I'm getting dizzy!" I yelled. I heard Batman grumble, "When did she become your niece?" "Well your like her guardian so I made her my niece." Barry said. "Same here." said Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern. "Fine." Batman Said. I smiled, "So why are y'all here?" I asked. "We got a warning, something about a Doomsday." Superman Said. I stopped to think, I've heard that somewhere before. Then I remembered about the creature Doomsday that was stronger then Superman and ended up killing him. "Oh no no no no no." I mumbled. Batman put a hand on my shoulder, "Alma, what's wrong?" He asked. "Doomsday!" I yelled. They all gave me confused faces. I rolled my eyes, "Doomsday is a huge creature/person that is far more stronger then Superman, he was created to kill Superman!" I Continued. "Even with all of y'all together, you won't be able to stop him." Batman looked at me, "Alma, how do you know all of this?" he asked. "I-I don't know, I just do! I saw all of y'alls deaths!" I said. They started to talk amongst them selfs. I needed a plan, they couldn't stop Doomsday, I needed to get help. Not just anyone, hero's who are sting as batman, who are quick and tough. Then I got an idea. If Superman is the strongest in this dimension, I can go to another. "Okay, I got it!" I yelled. They all looked at me. "Okay before you freak out, and I'm talking to you Batman, y'all can't take on Doomsday by y'alls self so what if I go and get more hero's who are as strong as y'all? Y'all can team up and beat Doomsday and no one will die!" I finished. "where are you going to get more people?" Batman said folding his arms. "In another dimension." I said frankly. "What?" They all said at the same time. "I have the powers to travel to different dimensions, its not weird. Uncle Barry can travel through time!" I said. "And I'm friends with some powerful heros." I continued. "Yeah right, like there's hero's more powerful then us." Green Lantern said while scoffing. "Well... yeah, they could be." I mumbled. The next thing i know im in some city leading Spiderman, Thor, The Hulk, Black Panther, Vision, and Iron Man(Even though i said no) Into my portal that went back to the DC universe. Then i remember introducing the Avengers to the Justice league, then even though i said we had two weeks until Doomsday came, he was already here, so we all fought him(even though Batman told me to stay out of it) It was a hard battle but we beat him, with no casualties. ^-^ Everyone said their goodbyes and thanks and such and i took back the Avengers to their universe and went back to the DC universe. The last thing i remember before i woke up was Green Lantern saying "Alright, they could probably kick my ass if they wanted too."

I really liked this dream because i saw DC and Marvel characters together and i was even fangirling in my dream. It was funny to see them interact with each other. Well until next dream. Bye~
P.s.-Pictures are me in my dream world, I have finally perfected the way I want to look in my world, so yea that's how I usually look in my dreams.(I know cause I look at my self in the mirror, in the dream)

Once in fifth grade, I had a dream that my mom drove me to the mall. she then got out of the car and left me there.

Suddenly I was in the front seat of the car, and it started driving itself.

There was a lot of blue glass skateboard ramps I drove off, and one in particular was super high. Mid jump, When I looked down, I saw my friend Lily getting off of a bus, looking up at the car and dropping her backpack. She screamed at me to get down, and the car started to fall.

It crashed into someone's garage that I'd never seen before and Lily ran up to me.

"SID NO! YOU CRASHED MY DAD'S CAR!"

"I'm sorry Lily, it was driving itse-"

and I woke up. The next day at school, Lilly looked really tired, and I asked her why. She said she had a dream that she was on a bus and I was in her dad's car, and I crashed her dad's car into her house.

She described the car, that fit the car I was in perfectly. She described the house, that also was perfect.


I wasn't even that good of friends with lily at the time, and I'm not at all friends with her now.


I did some research, and apparently Buddhist monks who train for decades can do something similar to that, and they use it for religious reasons. Or at least used to, I'm not sure.

I've done it three times, two by accident and one on purpose. They were:

1. The one involving Lilly that I just told you about (accidental)

2. This one involving some really bad shooter videogame with my friend Joseph, but he kinda was only connected with my mind for about 3 seconds before it stopped and he went away (Accidental)

3. This one time in middle school when I was edgy and decided to try and give some kid who lived on my street a nightmare. It kind of worked, I made him have a nightmare about a plane crashing with him in it, but then he went away and it turned into a nightmare for me with some weird second reality. (On purpose)



That's what made me originally decide to try to become Buddhist in fifth grade, but it's been many years since I gave up on that. Nightmares to ALL MY ENEMIES!

To be honest, the reason I haven't done it more is because it takes so long to actually do, it's incredibly difficult, and not that effective. Some people I gave nightmares to don't fully remember the nightmares once they wake up, only remembering fragments of the dream.

I sound totally insane, but I swear I'm not delusional. I ask the people about their dreams the next day, without giving a prompt.


This is (at least kind of) How I did it purposefully:

1: Lie down and wait a while to induce sleep paralysis, go into a dream.

2. Focus on the person. Their name, personality, location, looks, ect.

3. Imagine yourself watching them sleep, then slipping inside their mind. (I sound insane, I swear I'm not. I've been to a doctor for my depression, they did a psychiatric analysis, I'm not psychotic I promise.)

4. QUICKLY, design the setting for the nightmare and put them into it as well as yourself. Watch them, DO NOT TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THEM, and have DC's interact with them. If you look away they're going to be able to escape.

5. This is only effective if they don't lucid dream. If they can control their dreams they're gonna wake themselves up pretty fast.

fragment 1: I'm wandering around the same racquet club with a friend; can't recall what we were doing.

fragment 2: I'm still there, doing a closing shift. I am outside pool-side seemingly walking between the two sides of the building and there is a (platinum blonde) guy who is trying to salesman me some technique about driving. He keeps claiming I'll be committed once he adds the next step (reverse of me asking caption head to write for a show?). I go around thinking about checking the towels as I had not done any loads in a while. I remember being in an unfamilar landscape-esque area at this point.

fragment 3: I'm back on the actual property and there seem to be a bunch of people I'm with, including the same guy from earlier. I keep doing awkward things but I am only certain of knocking over coffee cups (I knocked one over at band that day). The walkway above the lower fitness room is divided into two stories with the upper one having a sharp cutoff. I knock over a coffee cup at this area and nearly splash someone I used to know from band below.

fragment 4: I am in a nearby hallway and the upper fitness room has been replaced by an elevator. I see the near-victim from earlier and am still with the same group (nearly instantaneous transition, almost not a fragment). I can't clearly recall her reaction although I believe it was an expression that she used to do commonly, similar to superficial shock.

fragment 5: I'm then with I believe a different group and there is a big, dangerous snake we are trying to get out of the building. Prior to it retaliating I can't remeber much although it must have been near the kid's area and racquetball courts as I easily recall it striking near the exit there. we had been quickly kicking it in spurts to avoid any danger. We started to get cocky and feel a sense of comfort. Then it was near the doorway and the girl's turn to kick it. I got a bad feeling and the snake lunged. I don't think it made contact but then suddenly it was outside near me. I don't remember kicking at it but suddenly it was in my hands albeit at a distance. It lunged at me and was about 4 inches from my chest. I thought "fuck this" and woke myself up (improved lucidity/control?)

dream 2 (after about 3 hours of sleep)

fragment 1: I am at the 6-lane pool not far from where I had been before the unplanned WBTB. I remember there being a theme of gaming somehow (probably mid-dream recall). An instructor from band is there and he is my boss.

fragment 2: there are structures in the bark near the pool scoop. I have to assemble these structures outside the bark (uncertain recall) and find the quotes describing the structures in the bark (definite). I only remember being in one spot despite the structures being spread out. I recall not being able to see the words in the random bark patterns in this one spot.

fragment 3: another very slight transition. there are more people now (uncertain of number before, maybe not many) and they are jumping into the nearby river via two methods. There is an edge that I hypothesize is formed from a path being where the tool shed behind the pool was. all i can see is the distant edge. I also see people jumping off the tops of the nearby buildings. Despite a feeling of apprehension and never recalling seeing anybody surface I believe these jumpers were safe. Perhaps because their jumps were more look-at-this than suicidal. I do recall some worry from adults nearby. The jumpers seem to all be guys of late HS-early college age although I only recall a few. Back to the bark, for some reason I have to get gloves so I head to the bathroom which seems to be where the aerobics room is. the gloves had the look of latex gloves and smell/feel of sanitary wipes, both tools I had used IWL at work. At one point the room was crowded. I believe around now there were many people outside although that is also unclear. I also remember being in what seemed like the aerobics room but I had an awareness it was on the other side of the club (abstract space, doesn't logically fit like the 2-story walkway or elevator might). there were many people there. Back to whatever I needed the gloves for, I remember making 1 or 2 trips (the instructor is still here; hard to recall what he was talking to me but it was more friendly than boss-like. knowing his authority seemed to be more of an abstract intrinisc knowledge as most of his talking was this way, somewhat similar to how he talked to me at band despite being the lead instructor) and then the final trip I got a lot of extras. I was dissembling the bunch and walking outside while stuffing the spares into my pockets (another work practice although I don't recall ever getting that many extras). the dream ended in what I now realize as the same spot the last dream did.

I am trying out the WILD method I am confident that my WBTB skills are on point.I relax, I get all the way up to Hypnagogic Imagery but then lose consciousness. However, the dreams are really vivid.

Long story short, I dreamed I was in my bedroom with a flamethrower. I was expecting that a monster was supposed to come after me and I was supposed to kill it. A fun note about the flame thrower though is that it was a can of his athlete's foot spray that I have in my closet; it just shot out flames though. I felt confident in that moment.

But something was wrong; I heard a struggle in the hallway outside my bedroom door. I turned around and saw a large, dark man in a suit which I immediately knew this was the guy. I felt like a nightmare was imminent because something was off about this guy.

He comes into my bedroom and flame him until his clothes burn off and his skin is midnight pitch-black.

But it doesn't work.

The flames stop.

He tackles me and to be brief, he sexually assaults me. It wasn't some comical event like a lot of men like to joke about. It was slow and disgusting; it felt real, and I was powerless. At this point, the dream was lucid because as the man was pinning me down to the ground on my stomach, I kept trying to control dream to kill him in some form or fashion - to summon monsters on my side or whatever. But it would not happen. He just kept licking and biting my bare left shoulder as I was struggling as hard as I could to prevent him from penetrating me.

Eventually, he got off me and began to walk out the room. He was lighter-skinned and dressed in a tuxedo. I chased after him, punched him in the face and backed off. The dream began to collapse and the man smiled in my direction.

End.

Another dream at Six Flags, at least, I assume it was Six Flags, as that's what it looked like: in fact I've been at this exact location in my dreams before. I become lucid and wander around, trying to find some stuff. There's a Christmas themed area. But that quickly bores me.

I find my father (for some reason) and we walk in the park, then we appear at a place that looks suspiciously like a plaza we live by. Eventually it turns into the plaza.

Here are some fragments I remember (all lucid):

I was trying to turn a glass of water upside-down and see if it would remain in the glass just for fun. It didn't. I think my mom complained.

Biting my brother's finger off (????).

I lost my laptop at a restaurant (not sure if it was lucid there, actually).

Trying to go through the mirrors in our living room and failing.

Conclusion: I failed at a lot of things, meaning I have a lot to learn, but hey, that's the process.

I remember I was being abducted by an alien kid but then our spaceship was attacked and we started floating in space in something that looked like a giant glove...?

Then as I slipped out the glove and started floating in space, I realisd I was dreaming, because if I were really in space I'd be dead, not breathing, so I decided to float around some more but then I woke up.....or so I thought.

I was back at my home which I 'woke up' in, but the scenary outside my window looked completely different, making me realise I was dreaming again. I decided to change my dream scape to Undertale and then everything became 2D. (It was very weird. that's all I can say, I really can't put it into words.) There, I saw Sans who was about to get killed by Chara, but then I stepped in and took the blow for him and I woke up.....but I didn't.

I was once again back at my home, this time when I 'woke up' I instantly knew I was dreaming again, I don't know why. Then I started messing around with the dreamscape and tried to make Sans appear infront of me, I tried expecting him in the next room, and it worked except he didn't look accurate. So, I recalled one of the tutoriels on DV about summoning dream characters, so I told the dream character, "Ok, I'm gonna turn around and when I turn again, I want you to look exactly like Sans."

So, I turned around and when I turned back, the dream character looked a bit better, but I wasn't satisfied yet. so I did the same process again, but when I turned and faced him again, he looked completely different and demonic.

The dream character was angry, "You think I'm some toy for you to play with?!" At first I was intimidated by the creature but since I knew it was all a dream, I just smirked, "This is my dream. It doesn't matter whether you abide by my wishes or not. You will fade away at the end of them all."

Then, I recieved an interesting answer, "That's what you think." Then the dream ended...

The Fire Alarm

I had a Slushy in my hands, I was between one store and JCPenny's. I was with my Brother Alex, Sister Cassie and my other Sister Demera who was sitting on top of a table.
She pulls the Fire Alarm that was next to her, "Should you have done that?" I ask. My brother says "No one would notice, come on we got to go. Mom's waiting."
I walked calmly as the Fire Alarm rang, but then everyone started running as if they were scared. I go down the stairs and all of the sudden I'm at my Middle School. As I walk down the stairs this girl sprays my shoes with something and cleans it for me, I thanked her.
I went out the doors of the school, the parking lot looked like my High School's parking lot.
My Mom was driving a rented pick up truck, everyone got in the truck except me. I just stood in the parking lot calling her name waving at her. She then notices me, crashes into a bus and I get in.
We were in the parking lot still, I remember this dude with a big head in the middle of where we were trying to go. My mom says "Do you think he's disabled?" then we just drive straight through him. I saw some other orange and white pick up trucks like the one Mom rented.
Once I was home, I lied down in bed. I was looking at some creepy videos, one where this alien was on this dude's dashboard while driving it was trying to say something. Then, there was a Ship that everytime you look at it, it changes apperance. Even if you blink.
I was spooked, I think to myself "should I have watched this before going to sleep?".
The dream I had in this dream was about a Giant Spider and me getting crushed by it.

Throwing Up

Me and my friends saw something at school that disgusted us, first my friend Adnan threw up, then some random dream character friend threw up and I started to but mine wasn't small like their's it was going to be big. So I ran to the nearest bathroom, and threw up. BLOOD. Yeah, I threw up blood and spit some out in the sink.
The Nurse tell's me to say ahh, I do so. She then says "Your breath is fowl."
I reply "I just threw up."

More School Dreams? I guess I don't like school. I remembered again and hopefully I can keep this streak of remembering.

Dream #8

I'm walking through what is supposedly a school building (does not exist IRL) and get to an area of grass about 5 metres long and 10 metres wide. There is a road to the left and a road to the front. I walk up to a pedestrian crossing on the second road. There are more buildings on the other side. Someone is with me. A teacher is carrying an improbably tall (1m) stack of books. I split the stack between the three of us and we cross the road. There are no cars.

Dream #9

I was travelling somewhere, possibly a long distance over land, possibly in a bus. I arrive from the "south" with a large group of other people in an area with a few buildings. There is a central road running through it to the "north" to a shallow sea, with a lighthouse at the end. There is a bay to the east of the lighthouse. We are standing on this road, east of a statue in the middle of it. This might not be where we were originally going. Something strange has happened - all the people are gone, but everything else appears largely intact. Everyone universally decides that the world is ending and we need to survive.

I pick out a group of people and start moving north, but everyone else follows us. I decide that we need to stay away from everyone else to survive, so we arrive at another statue, hide behind it to its northeast, then I send one of my group, a friend I know IRL, into the thick forest to the east. By this time the group following us is quite large, and nobody notices him leaving. I was planning to join him there immediately but decide I'll go there later.

We continue moving down the road, looting supplies, then go along the edge of the bay. The bay is almost a full circle, and is only connected to the sea by a narrow channel near the lighthouse. There are very few buildings here. This is in an unfamiliar country, possibly Greece. We are mostly looting small electronics, and don't seem to care about food or other survival supplies even though we expect to stay here for a long time. At the end of the bay, someone finds a wallet with a 2 euro receipt and a local SIM card in it, and I tell him to check if there is mobile coverage. I tell him that he can use the backup phone in my backpack for this, but only if he can't find another one to use.

The perspective abruptly switches to third-person, following a ghost. The ghost is indoors, at a swimming pool, haunting someone she had known before she died.

Perspective switches back to first person. I am standing southwest of the lighthouse, looking southwest. A car arrives from the south onto the beach and I explain the situation. Then I look east. Somehow, possibly as a result of the ghost's appearance, a voice tells everyone in the area that they will be returned from it, with whatever loot they are carrying at the moment. The voice represents whoever is responsible for the whole incident. I am disappointed by the fact that this is ending. I wake up.

The beginnings of this dream are quite simple. I was at the T house and many of my friends were there. Kira from grade 8 and Justin May but showed up, what a strange group it was. After hanging for a while the season changed to winter, so we all started skiing. I am at the front of the group ripping it down Holimont. This is one of the most vivid dreams I've ever had. Justin May is bragging about how good a a skiier he is and how these are not the alps. I can feel that my skiis need a waxing, and the hills are properly contoured causing me to have an uneven ride. I see some kids doing pizza skis down the hill and wipe out while watching them. My friends all rip on me for falling and continue on. I fall again later and lose them, so I just have fun on my own on the hill. This is the first time in my life I've skied without the boots hurting my feet, and I didn't even become lucid enough to enjoy it. At the bottom of the hill I was with Aidan and some guy I don't know and we tried to fit on a chairlift that was way too small for two to sit even though it had three seats. I sat in the chair behind and we headed up.

Suddenly I'm driving the Steam Machine. I arrive at a small cafe and get out to read a book. The book is the Millionaire Fastlane, but it is printed in a Malcolm Gladwell book cover. I am reading it in peace on this little patio in the rain, when suddenly Tai Lopez is there. This is now the strongest detail I can recall since the dream I had about the skatepark. People are coming up to Tai every 2 minutes and asking him about advice, telling him how much they love him. I just sit there and read my book, knowing there's no point in talking to him as he'll just give a default answer or a 'thank you'. Some rich kid comes up and puts his arms all over my chair to look casual and starts talking to Tai about being rich and having nice clothes. Tai is courteous but doesn't give a shit, and then everyone leaves. I'm enjoying the rain, the pitter patter, and the book which I cannot read but can derive meaning from.

"That's a great book."

I look up and Tai is still chilling. I smile and say it surely is. I say how much I love the title, it's so smart to call it something like that and he laughs. We have some more little smalltalk before he asks me if I have any questions for him. I say not really, he speaks quite a lot and now is the time to relax. After that though I do ask him how he manages sleep. I say that he must only get 5 hours, and he says that you simply manage, once you're in it you're in it and you won't die. Try to grab naps if you can and if you can't just work anyway. Now he can get as much sleep as he wants every day, because of that small sacrifice in the beginning.

We chatted about some more things, and then at the end of the day we both got on a bus into the city. I realized after a few blocks that I left the Steam Machine at the cafe, and had to get off. I walked off into the rain alone, reflecting on my time with Tai. Somewhere lost in the grey fog of the afternoon showers I refound my consciousness.

Had two LDs this morning. All from the SSILD variation which I shall explain below plus a realization.

The lucid dreams were standard; I was in my neighborhood. The first lucid dream had me exiting a vehicle in my driveway and trying to go down my block. The second was me actually walking down my block during the evening time and into a house.

I spoke to a woman behind a glass window like I was in a office or something. I remember now, I was searching for a woman named 'Jazmyne Adams' and the office was a car directory or something. I wanted the secretary to do a reverse search on the name and find out information such as the where she lived, what car she drove, etc. She gave me something to sign and that was all that I remember.

I am always on the hunt for dream characters.

There was also another standard dream of me at school, at the end of the year. It is kind of ironic because right now it is the end of summer vacation - more or less - here in my part of Texas. School starts a week from today; on the day of my birthday. Anyway, I was in the principal's office collecting a trophy from an award ceremony that I missed.

Recently ive had many lucid dreams far more than usual and now im beginning to control them.
Dream1- It began with a WILD, i wasnt trying to go lucid but by laying there and viewing the images created from the darkness as my eyes are closed i began to understand that I was in my room that was not my actual room in reality. Posters were different and i could tell this was a layout for a house. I currently live in an apartment. My dream signal ive been using is by pushing my hands into one another so i see my fingers go through my left hand. As i did this i became very lucid and everything felt very real. I ran out of my room and was correct on the layout of a house. I went to the door and ran out to find it sunny and incredibly green. I was in a town I had never been before. Then i thought of car to drive and turned around to find one similar to what i had pictured. I opened the door and got into the seat and the vehicle no longer took the form i had seen moments earlier. It was like i entered a bus instead of the 67 mustang i pictured. I remember hitting the accelerator and driving around like a mad man. Hitting cars and benches and getting terrible looks from people all around me. I basically did everything I wanted to do a normal citizen couldnt. At one point i saw many stormy clouds approaching the town putting a gloom over everything. I looked up and said "No I want it to be sunny today." Then waved my hand as if to erase the clouds and they disappeared like magic. Then i got the idea to fly and began trying to desperately fly with no avail. I couldnt even jump higher than i normally could in real life. Then i woke up to find that i had only fallen asleep for 16 minutes when it felt like an hour in my dream.
Dream 2: A different night I had another lucid dream though not as prevelant and a bit hazy. It began it a big city a sort of metropolis one would find in the future. White tall gleaming buildings, clean roads with trees along the streets. I remember seeing one of my friends there and almost forgot i was even dreaming because she seemed like the actual person. I remember having a conversation though i cant recall it. I do remember being lead to a hotel of sorts for college kids my age. As I saw this structure it made me re-realize I must be dreaming and pushed my fingers through my left hand. They went all the way through and my friend looked at me with confusion and asked how i did something like that. I then tried to impress her by showing her i could fly. It didnt happen at first, i just kind of stood there with no lift or anything appearing to be concentrating. Then i remember my feet leaving the ground and i was suddenly floating. I remember smiling and laughing as my friend looked at me with huge eyes,(I definietely embellished my ego a bit). Then she said something like then can you give me a lift somewhere? I thought what if im not strong enough to lift her? I then quickly dismissed this thought as if to kind of suggest to myself that this was a dream and if i could fly then i wouldnt matter how much weight i would have holding me down. First i grabbed her hand and tried to raise myself and her off the ground. Nothing. I then released her hand and stepped back and practiced raising myself and lowering myself off the ground. While floating i let her hold on to my stomach and i was able to raise us both. It was more like hovering than it was flying, It was clumsy but once we were off the ground it was as if she didnt weigh a single thing and i began to realize that any amount of strength could be mustered up by a thought. I remember dropping her off at another hotel. I climbed to the top of the hotel which was very tall. I jumped and tried to at least hover down or really soar but i just fell faster and faster. I knew the jump wouldnt hurt me so I landed on my feet with no pain.
I'm new to this lucid dreaming thing, ive studied how to lucid dream for many years now and have come back and forth. Only recently have I had incredibly surreal lucid dreams that I can not only remember but control. So if you have any tips regarding better control or even interacting with dream characters i would be very interested to hear someone else's opinion on the matter. Thanks for reading!

Dream 6

I'm in a long building or on a long island, possibly both. I'm looking at a wall map of it. Someone is invading the island. I briefly go lucid, observe the dream, then it ends. (10.5 points)

Dream 7

I'm in a classroom talking about dreams, and recall two past dreams, the first of which is Dream 6. I talk about how, in dreams, I often see combinations of IRL people who could never possibly meet. Ironically, later two people who could never meet appear in the room and I don't notice.

Later, in the same room, a teacher is talking about two dreams (one of them is about Harry Potter) and I comment on how similar they are to the ones I had been describing, then realize they aren't actually that similar and try to make a connection. The teacher is a character from Life is Strange.

Somehow I end up in Spain - I don't know for sure where I was originally in the dream, but after I walk out of the classroom I'm near the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. It is falling down sideways. I start moving north into France. I arrive on a narrow road with a deep pit/cliff/fall to the left and a rock wall with tunnels in it to the right. It is a hotel. I crawl into one of the tunnels and talk to a woman about booking a room. Then I emerge from the tunnels on the other side, in a Half-Life-like military compound. There is a large yard, mostly filled with shipping containers, with a large building behind it. I am in the yard talking to a soldier. (1 point)
