memorable

It begins as all good stories do; on the top of a speeding train. I am there on a mission from the governor, to track and kill a dangerous man. There are soldiers walking along the top of the train ahead of me, assigned to the mission as well. For a moment, I think about what I will do next. Suddenly, the soldiers to toward me. They look nervous. Their guns are no longer at their sides, but pointed at me.
I am the dangerous man.
I charge them and they disappear, only to reveal an oncoming bridge that looks like the walkways to an airplane. I slam into it, bending the sheet metal walls and pass out.

I wake up, and the impact has separated me from the body of that dangerous man. I am myself again. A woman is next to me, and she is tearing up with Joy.

"He's going to marry me!" She says.

"He gave me this necklace! It's from the jewelers in the big city, and he made it disappear."

So that's what he does. He makes things disappear. And now he's disappeared himself.
I start walking past her down the road. It's getting dark, and as I walk I hear music. I go up a staircase into a park and find an incredible skate park. Massive half pipes, colour under lighting on everything, it's a skater's dream. Too bad I don't skate.

I'm pretty sure that at this moment I became lucid. Everything was so vivid. I was looking around, listening to how the music echoed off the curved walls and looking at the highschoolers hanging out here way past their curfews. Why was I here, wearing this dark hoodie and hiding myself? I didn't really know. I started to walk out of the park and down the road. I stopped to look back a some teens that were on the sidewalk. They were all regular kids, and one girl had some very short shorts on. It was like real life. The lighting from the street lamps, the cool of the night air. Everything.


After that I pulled out google maps to see how far that train had taken me from home. Far.

I would be in for a long walk. Instead, I walked into a pet store nearby. Inside I was playing with all of these small squid and shrimp and fish, looking in their tanks. Suddenly a bouncer came and tried to kick me out. He said I was missing the stamp for the place. There are like 5 bar stamps on my hadn and none of them are for this place. Rats.

My parents show up. My mother puts on such a fuss of how great the shop is that the bouncer leaves me alone. Take that, asshole.

Simon and Arshia show up out of the blue, and I get ready to go with them back home.

My alarm goes off.

1. I had just parked my car at Dylan's house. Patrick and Dylan got out and went inside rather quickly. As I turned off my car I looked around. I happened to look in the back seat and upon doing so I found a bottle of liquor and some Smirnoffs along with some other weak malt beverages. "Oh shit, dad left his liquor in here and mom left her smirnoffs and other drinks in here" I said aloud. I noticed that the bottle of liquor was unopened;brand new. However, all 4 of my moms drinks were all open and had no cap, but they were still full. "Why the fuck would she take just the caps off" I said in a rather annoyed tone. I then "remembered" the whole event of how I drove my mom and dad to the liquor store hours earlier so they could get what they got. "I can drink some of dad's liquor without him noticing" I thought, "but mom will definitely notice if I drank some of her drinks".
With that I grabbed my dad's liquor and put it in my bag and picked up my mom's drinks which were already in a drink holder that held all 4 of her drinks. I carefully got out of my car so I wouldn't spill her drinks and with my left hand I got my keys and locked my car up. After that I walked up to Dylan's front door, opened it, and walked inside. His parents were no where to be seen, so I didn't bother hiding the alcohol that I was carrying in my hand. I noticed that Dylan's house looked different on the inside. It was much bigger and spacious, and that's saying alot considering his house is already 2 stories. Everything in his house looked different besides the hardwood floor I was standing on.
I then walked upstairs and noticed that Dylan's room wasn't where it normally was. The whole upstairs was huge. Dylan's room was now where his brother's room normally was and his brother no longer lived here. Dylan's actual room in waking life was now a guest room. In between these rooms was a large bathroom. Directly in front of these rooms were 2 hallways. One hallway was on the right of Dylan's "new" room, and the other hallway was directly in front of Dylan's new room. At the end of each of these hallways was another room. In the middle of the hallway that was directly in front of his new room there was a large archway that really added to the overall beautiful architecture of the house.
As I walked into Dylan's new room I found Dylan and Patrick both laying face down on his bed. "What the hell, y'all are already going to sleep?!?" I said. M was standing on the side of the bed. She was looking at me with a stern look and I knew instantly that she was mad at me about something. She ended up yelling at me about something, but in the end I still had no idea why she was mad at me. While she was yelling at me I realized that this was the most mad I had ever seen her. I remember apologizing even though I had no idea what I did wrong. After getting yelled at, we all just chilled in Dylan's room. M calmed down a few minutes later and was no longer mad at me.
"Dude Cory let me have some of those Smirnoffs" Dylan said. "Hell no dude, my mom would totally notice" I told him as I looked down at the drinks once more getting annoyed about how they had no cap. I remember thinking they could spill very easily, but I wasn't going to worry about that at the moment. "Cory help me count the numbers on these cards" M said. I looked over at her and in her hands she was holding up 3 hot pink index cards with double digit numbers on them. I started reading the numbers out to her. I remember the number on the far right index card was an 84. After I told her the numbers I felt the urge to pee. I walked out of Dylan's room to go to the restroom, but as I did so I saw a group of sharply dressed men that seemed to be investigating Dylan's "old" room as well as the restroom. This group of men were from the Hawkins laboratory which is from the show "Stranger Things". All of their equipment was in Dylan's old room as well as the restroom.
"Fuck I can't go to the restroom now" I thought to myself. Just then M came out of Dylan's room. "Cory can I talk to you in secret?" she asked me. "Yeah about what?" I asked. "Just follow me" she replied. "Where are we gonna go?" I asked. "Just give me your hand" she said. With that she took me by the hand and we walked down the hallway in front of Dylan's "new" room. As we did so I remember noticing how soft her hand was. I also remember that I specifically wanted to remember this moment. We walked under the huge archway I mentioned earlier and as we did so I looked up at it, once again noticing how amazing it was.
Suddenly the whole atmosphere about the house seemed dark, and everything actually looked dark as well. The only light on in the house now was the light on in the room not too far ahead of us. "That's the room we're going to, it's the second most haunted room in the house" M told me. "Why aren't we going to the most haunted room in the house?" I asked. "Because I'm too scared" she told me. She then pointed out the most haunted room in the house. The room was about 30 feet to the right of the room we were currently going to. I looked over at it, and it just looked like it held bad vibes. It reminded me of the dark dream version of my house.
As we got closer to the 2nd most haunted room in the house, I looked inside it once more and saw part of the sheets of the bed floating in the air. Seconds later we walked in and we both sat on the bed. I wasn't sure what we were doing in here but I started to feel really creepy vibes, and I knew it wasn't just us two in the room. Immediately upon sitting down the sheets on the corner of the bed directly next to me starting floating in the air. I remained calm and relaxed though, like usual. M started showing signs that she was scared. I could see it in her face and body language. She moved closer to me and hugged me tightly as she put her head on my shoulder. I put my arms around her and at that moment I ignored all the creepy vibes and whole "haunted" stuff and just thought about how I never wanted to let her go.
Seconds later I started to feel a really weird sensation. It felt as though something was effecting my energy and my brain. The closest way I can describe it is that it felt like my brain was being hacked or something. It was then I knew that we needed to get out of this room. If this room is this bad I can't imagine what the most haunted room is like. "M we gotta leave. Now." I said. She looked me in the eyes and nodded her head. We both got up and left the room quickly. We walked back to Dylan's room, but on the way back a demon emerged from who knows where and started chasing us. I looked back at it as we started running to get to Dylan's room faster, and I somehow knew that this demon was 13 feet 6 inches tall, and it was in the form of a really sinister looking female.
Seconds later we made it back to Dylan's room and M ran in immediately, but I turned around and faced the demon. I remember looking up at it just thinking of how tall it was.

Okay. Yesterday night I had a crazy super vivid dream. I'm kinda mad because it had never been this obvious that I'm dreaming, but I didn't realize it.

I was at a bar with some other people. We all had a few drinks but since I usually don't drink, I was having water. At some point the bartender brought me three drinks for free in small glasses (little bit bigger than shot glasses) and one of them had a cap on top of it. I drank the other two first and the last one I thought was vodka. I took a few sips from it and all of the sudden I felt like I was tripping and saw intense color visuals. After 30 sec or so the visuals stopped but I thought that I was still tripping, because it hadn't been that long yet. I told the others that I think the bartender mixed some LSD or something in my drink and that I wanted to go home, because a bar isn't an appropriate place for this. I started to look at my hands to see how the effects were still. I probably looked at them about 20 times over the rest of the dream. My hands always had 5-30 fingers, some super long and some super short and others growing out of each other. The number of fingerst were actually changing while I looked at them.

Morning of July 25, 2016. Monday.



I have befriended, as a coworker, Terry O'Quinn (as John Locke on “Lost”). We are volcanologists working in an apparently isolated area, though there is no impending threat at first. Eventually however, I develop some sort of insight into seeing what is to come, though this is more as a typical pretense in somehow subliminally directing my dream (which happens a lot in non-lucid dreams). There are about six or seven in total working in this setting.

I inform them that they all died - though speaking of events about three days from now. They seem a bit wary of my advice that they should leave. They do not want to scrap the study, but I somehow convince them.

Suddenly, at one point as we are walking, we are all in the Cubitis living room. I gaze cautiously at a small bright orange circle (like a shallow hole possibly revealing orange rather than red lava inside) on the knotty pine wall to the right of the hidden door that was there in real life, somehow linked to a light switch in this otherwise dark room. (This is a sunrise metaphor and waking precursor and seemingly symbolizes a desire to somehow see my deceased parents prior to the new day as both my mother and father used that room during different time periods.) There is a sense of electrical energy rather than volcanic and there is no threat, just a sense of awe and curiosity. The others follow my lead willingly. There is an interesting scene of an earthquake but I inform them that there is still time to escape.

There is a scene where Michael Dawson shows up to drive us to the airport. He looks as if he has been badly burned by being close to the eruption, though it is more like an unrealistic type of “burn” where he is more like a shadow made of ash. It is an unusual effect but he seems perfectly fine and is even cheerful.

At a later point I am looking at Terry O'Quinn through the window of a commercial jet airliner that is flying high in the sky (and it seems I somehow phased through the wall of the aircraft I had just been in to do this). He notices me and there is the idea that I am his guardian angel or even his idea of God. He is aware of me and acknowledges my presence in a somewhat cautious but respectful manner.

Finally, there is a bizarre scene where I am looking at the front halves of the heads of all the volcanologists as they are lying on the surface of a table in a medical laboratory. They are slid around almost like dinner plates a couple times. I am trying to work out where the rest of their bodies are though they seem fairly alert and are answering questions and getting examined somehow.

There seems to be a question over how I knew they would have otherwise died. I reveal my ability, which supposedly came from some sort of injection in this same laboratory. A female medical worker seeks to give me another injection to undo my abilities but I cause her to fly backward across the room and against the wall with telekinesis. I am able to fly away as well as to help the volcanologists escape their second possible fate of being lab rats.

Dream 1 non-lucid: I found myself in a non-lucid dream in my hometown. They seemed to be under a form of martial law. I had to help deliver a baby which was odd. And the fact that a childhood friend I haven't talked to in quite some time was by my side all along the way. None of the places were actual places in my tiny small hometown, lol. The soldiers were invading an event at the high school & I was being ushered around like I had been beckoned to help everyone. Apparently I got there in time & we ran them off. There were celebrations at this point.

Dream 2-Non-lucid: Oh & this was the dream I couldn't remember yesterday but did recall today. Non-lucid but very bright & vivid. I was in this city with hotels, casinos, eccentric themed shows. Anyway, I was being approached by different kinds of people who wanted me to move there & work. It had a connection to a glamorous casino/hotel I dreamed about before. So I was walking & talking quite a bit in this dream, in restaurants & those other places I mentioned. I noticed a theme going though & didn't want to move there to work. There were many con artists in this dream who were working with other people to make me just another "mark" for these jobs. See, if you took the job you'd have to move there & it was just a vicious cycle of the landlords wanting people who lived basically hand to mouth in the end. You'd make just enough to pay for rent & do your job with a little extra after that but basically you could never move away & are surrounded by people you don't know & can't rely on.

That first dream I think came from listening to stuff about the elections. Someone had mentioned martial law being a possibility if the "elite powers that be" don't think Hillary will win they could invoke martial law after they create something that would allow them to do so.

The second was about my husbands job. They sent out legal documents to all employees by law because they are going to do a mass firing of at least 100 people starting very soon. Just FYI, I used to work there too so I know a lot about how government likes their private businesses run. They make the batteries that goes into the space shuttle, all kinds of weapons, including TOP SECRET ones. The list is extensive & the new buyout was unprecedented. Some one bought all of the plants, not just 1 which happens sometimes. They have already fired a crazy amount of ppl including very smart people. It's a scary scenario.



Non-Lucid-Green

Side Notes-Purple
Astral Projection/AP-Brown

This is my first DJ post and I am planning on only storing my lucid dreams on here, since I have so many non lucids/dream fragments.

Before this dream I attempted a WBTB WILD unsuccessfully.

5:15am

I have a false awakening. I walk over to my computer and turn off music which is playing and lay back down in bed. I begin to visualize a wall and I jump through the wall and all of a sudden I felt my body and my dream body disconnect. I pull my dream body painfully out of my sleeping body. My body feels weird (heavy and slow) at first but it gets progressively easier.

I look at my phone screen and it actually turns on which it normally doesn't. I walk out of my room and have an idea, I go back to my room and see myself sleeping. This is very bizarre and I decide to leave before I become to excited/freaked out and wake up. I walk to my living room and Maria (my sisters friend) is there. She tries to talk to me but i ignore her because I want to attempt flying! I go outside and levitate a bit but realize that I have a backpack on and that having a backpack is pointless in a LD. I go inside to drop the stuff off (I know Im an idiot lol)

Maria follows me outside but I continue to ignore her, starting to run I vault over my moms silver van. I start running super speed. Everything slows down as I begin to pass buildings extremely fast. I try flying again, but it doesn't work (I cant stay in the air) I turn around backward and begin to float. Maria says something like "your flying, aren't you happy now?". I ignore her. I start to be able to move my arms and adjust my flight. I get excited. I look over and Ashly F (a girl I made out with at a party once) is floating beside me. I laugh and tell her to come here. She floats over and wraps her legs around me. We are flying fast together now, but I can't see where I am going, since I am on my back. She says look out! But we crash into the ocean. It hurts a bit feels kinda like a stinging sensation... but we start laughing.

We start to make out and but her BF appears and says "so your the one who stole her away". I say yes and grab her back. He starts to fight with me over her and I am periodically pushed under the water while still making out with her(?). He pushes me off and knees me in the crotch. I am in tons of pain and float there under the water. Nick (close friend) is over me now asking if I am alright. I realize that I am now in my room. I attempt to renter my dream, but It doesn't work. I open my eyes.

I took 200 5-htp, 1mg melatonin, 1000mg valerian root, b6 (not sure how much) and 450mg of st. John's Wort,

Do you know of a such thing called a lucid nightmare? I am having a dream where I am lost on my first day to high school. I am running around town asking if people know a place called....well I can't tell people the name because in the dream I had a terrible time remembering what the school name was. All I knew that it was a private school for smart children.

Anyway, after many mishaps in the dream-scape I find myself sitting in a classroom of the wrong school. I look at this girl named Naomi and we both realize that have made a huge mistake. We leave the classroom and ask this man to take us to front desk and he does. I know something is going terribly wrong because as we are walking through the hallway I am getting this strong SILENT HILL vibe from the lighting.

We make it to the front desk and after some conversation with the secretary, she gives Naomi and I a paper to sign. I throw it down on the ground because I don't want to sign anything, I just want to find out where the super-secret private school is! Gosh I know I am ranting now but I JUST WOKE UP from all this.

The lady takes out peanuts and starts throwing it and Naomi and I. I throw some back and this is where the SILENT HILL vibe really took off. At this point, I knew I was dreaming because I realized that I am a 22 year old man who already graduated high school, got a bachelor's degree and is a working a full time job. So why the hell I am worried about trying to get to school again?

The woman started vomit violently all over the place; her eyes started to turn red and she was screaming like a banshee. The entire office area was getting dark and crazy and I knew it was time to get out of there even though I was lucid. I wasn't confident enough to fight some crazy monster in my dream yet.

I ran away....the dream ended.

But it was a false awakening. I was in my kitchen walking toward the stove but everything wasn't feeling alright so I did a nose-pinch reality check and determined that I was still dreaming. I went out my side-kitchen-door and climbed over the fence found myself on the street in front of my house.

I was fully lucid at this time and I wanted to accomplish something that I had set out to do the night before.

I jogged down my neighborhood street as fast as I could while STAYING TO PRESENT TO THE MOMENT TO ANCHOR MYSELF. I got the end of the street and made a left to get to the park entrance by my home! I continued down the park path until I came across some branches that were getting the way. I used my lucid-powers to move the branches and keep pushing on and on till I could get to the center of the park field.

Once I got to the center of the field, it was morning time there. I looked up into the sky and screamed because this signaled the turning point in my lucid dream ability. I had done exactly what I had planned to do the night before so the possibilities are limitless.

I woke up of course from the screaming.



This was all achieved using SSILD during a morning WBTB/nap.
So I was still pretty tired and in the REM cycle.



Forgive me for any grammatical errors. The excitement/drowsiness is the reason!

I have been starting to remember dreams quite a lot lately, despite no attempt at a dream journal. Heres one dream I literally just had, and will probably never forget.

I remember it starting as I was on the inner part of the field of my old elementary school, walking along with this guy a little older than me. He was tall and lanky, but cute in a weird way, even if he was really awkward. We were flirting it up, walking along as we came up to one the little "cell block" things they had, which was right next to the courtyard and disconnected from he school. I didn't notice it, but the he turned into a she (still cute, thank god i'm bi) and got this stick and decided to use it as a crowbar to take off one of the vents underneath the cell block thing. I knew for a fact I would get into a shit ton of trouble if she was caught and I was around, so I started fast walking away and put my hands up as a cop was running towards me (even if i've never been to anything close to prison, i knew how not to piss off a cop). The cop ran right past me and I saw her getting arrested, rather forcifully actually, but I was in no room to start talking about police brutality. Their was a package she threw in my direction though, it was a small amazon box, and she said it meant a lot to her. I snatched it real quick before the guards noticed it, and went back to my regular shit.

I don't know when this part happened, but I think its safe to assume it was right after the box incident. I was in a classroom with kids ranging from my age (14) to like 17 years old. I knew in the dream this was my new school though, which might be related to the fact that I recently moved from Washington to Michigan in real life. I was laughing to a kid who I guess went to my old school that our language arts teacher looked like a offbrand of our old language arts teacher. We were joking about this shit for awhile. Then I remember, it was end of class or something, I don't know, it was fuzzy. I walked out of the cell block thing, thinking it was still recess (who thought to keep those unlocked) and I noticed their was no one around. I knew I couldnt get back inside, so my only choice was to get the attention of a guard to bring me back inside and hopefully he would believe it was an accident. I walked towards the right part of the building, as I noticed this random couple (i noticed from a mile away their was something off with em) said "Here he is." to something behind them, which I assumed was a guard, and was confirmed as a guard starting jogging towards me. As he got to me, instead of putting me in handcuffs or something, he took this big ass metal bike lock thing and said "You know I could do a lot with this thing, he he." The couple was joking around with him too, and honestly I was starting to get scared for my life. The stupid guard let the bike lock slipped though, and it fell on the womens neck, pinning her to the ground and crushing her neck. I helped get it off, but I knew that I know had my handprints on it, the guard wore gloves, and the man didnt do jackshit. I said "please, please don't blame this on me. I wont tell on you guys" multiple times, and the women said "You have two choices, fucker, either run while everything is quiet and try to escape, or wait to see yourself get a bigger sentence." Stupid panicked me picked the former, my logic was that the judges might favor a guard and a couple over a young inmate and I would probably been in prison for life at that point for attempted murder. I started running, and I looked back and realized that the box was in my direction. I ran back and tried to grab it, but it seems the couple wanted it to, but I finally got a good grip on it, and bolted out of there.

Somehow I made it out with little resistance, and suddenly it was nighttime. I had just escaped and was just in the general area of the prison. I was going through backyards and shit, trying to find a route deeper into somewhere so i could make an easier escape, but in the end my only choice was to get back on the main road. I tried to walk to the side, in the shadier part, but I knew I was going to get fucked. Their was cop cars coming from both directions for some reason, and their was checkpoints everywhere. I decided to stop running, and try to explain my side to the judge. I was tired of running. I couldn't get the box to her/him, which made me really sad. I stepped over this this cliff thing (it was nearly pitch black, could barely see) and noticed their was a beach not that far down. I slid down, and said on a rock. I noticed a few red dots on my legs, but I knew if I didn't resist I wouldn't get shot. I heard some yelling and saw the snipers laughing and dancing. I was sobbing the whole time. I woke up shortly after.

+ camping on cliff, talk to scoutmaster DG, ask about his sons J and G, see my mom sitting there and I think I should be talking to her but I started talking to DG first.

+(f) in a group, on the outside table there are a few pieces of slightly stale pepperoni left over from a pizza and I eat one

+ swirling fast descent on an icy road including loop-de-loops, end by crasing through a fence

+ LD#194 in some sort of month-long retreat location, sitting with two middle aged but attractive women, I think I"ll probably sleep with both of them by the end of the retreat. I have to leave, and return to another place, I'm getting a ride there. I walk up a hill and turn to the left and BOOM, there's an amazing vista opening up over a huuuuge valley far below stretching for maybe 20 miles out before me, including a road down blow me wandering through the hills that is the one I was going to travel on to my destination. "OH!" I say in shock at the vista. And I think "I can just fly there ". I'm pretty sure I can fly, and that I'm dreaming I lean out over space and take off flying and do a nose pinch and confirm I"m dreaming. <more flight detail later>
At the top of the mountain I lose lucidity among the tourist groups. ending with "give us a kiss, love" girl (tweak nipple with lips then light kiss, the tweak is required with her I recall, I feel like I'm quite a playa) and the child racer who was #2 but now is #1 because the former #1 it turns out has just a vagina so he had to quit and his friends are telling him to open it up and look inside and see if he has a penis in there.

+ flying into a strip-mall building feet-first through a narrow trellace (showing off?), I walk through a wall and follow two male voices which are talking about (pork sandwiches?) I open my eyes and I"m following them and their moving away from me, one looks like and comes into focus as my best friend DD from Jr. High. Super high res visualization, and it is him, perfect in face, hair, etc. I go to give him a hug it's been so long he's a bit hesitant at first but them comes into the hug. I say "What's been up with you?" He says "2015 was a hard year, <some more>"


+ motorcycle in house in CH, I need to pack it up and take it somewhere, which car should I put it in? My old clunky FF or my newer one, they're both small though. Out on the street with my motorcycle I heft it up to see how heavy it is and to see if I can lift it into the car at all. I think it'll be heavy but I get it off the ground without much trouble. I ride it down my steep CH driveway into the garage there riding the breaks so I don't go too fast.

+ LD#195 leaving area with family and kids, their slow, people behind are getting mad at the delay, I signal out the back of my car and say "you'll just WAIT for my family!" on main road the guy is following us and I'm looking out the back of our car window (sitting in back seat) at him, he looses control, crashes into a fence on the side of the road, and is rolling himself on the road. HAH, I thnk, that's what you get! Our car takes off flying. The guy on the road himself takes off flying and follows us into the air. I think "WTF!? How can he do that, unless......<nose pinch>, I'm dreaming..
I start trying to shoot laser/energy bolts at the guy, but I see nothing come out. I shout to my friends in the car, "come on, shoot lasers at this guy!" but they don't. I feel confined inside this car, and I jump up through the roof and out into the air. I land on the ground and there are some girls around and I decide it's time for a bit of sexy fun. Pull one girl's pants down, stay in the dream by looking around every few seconds, pull another one, and while I'm trying to push myself up to look around

I actually move my waking body in bed and am awake.

family stress at bedtime. 2mg melatonin, but it turns out I probably didn't need it as I fell asleep quickly anyway

early:
+ I'm DO at first hovering over a view of a high snowy ridge and collapsing snowy stone bridges between peaks. A character jumps and lands on the other side and the bridge collapses. My view shifts to a bridge leading the other way behind me, and someone says "Nobody has ever made it going this way! S*&T! We're F^&*ED!". I'm on the ground now. We're climbing up a very snowy mound, it's steep and the snow is soft and fluffy. In front of us a small brown shape is in the snow. Someone says "just move that poop out of the way and let's go forwards!" The guy in front doesn't want to touch it. He then picks it up and tosses it down on to steep icy hill leading down to a waterfall on our left. It turns out it was not poop, but a long caramel pop on a stick. The caramel pop slides down and lodges under a rock overhang just above the icy river/waterfall. Some (kid?) in our group jumps down after it, and I say "Oh, great!" and jump and slide down after him. The caramel pop falls behind the overhang in a dangerous position. My feet are getting wet and I feel the cold. I carefully reach around the rock outcropping and pick up the pop and toss it back up the hill a bit. Then all of our group is taking turns on the caramel pop. I grab it and push it in and out of my mouth, tasting the sweet flavor.

+ I'm standing with someone (wife?) inside, looking outside to large open area including one side of large stadium seating far to my right, pointing to an open field in front of me. The stands are empty. But I "know" that (cadet students?) sit there to watch sporting events on the field. On the ground level in between the stadium seating and the field, is a covered terrace. I know that I have participated in a ceremony on that terrace. I accompanied a young lovely girl there, and sat with her in the stands.

mid:

+ grief on the rainy hillside
I'm standing about 6 feet below the ridgeline on a long steep hill, mostly dirt but there is a small clump of trees to my right and a larger clumb about 15 feet in front of me. Down at the bottom of the hill is a line of trees, and I know that beyond the line of trees is a river. I'm imagining a system of buckets on lines dipping down into the river, and being raise up to the top of the hill I'm standing on, where they can be used/poured out. It starts to rain. I look around me and my/our belongings are strewn around the immediate area and are starting to get wet. I'll have to pack up, now. The rain gets harder, and I'm hurrying to pick my stuff up. I look down and see our cat L about 10 feet away sitting on the hillside looking at me. I take several big steps down the hill to get her and the dirt starts a small landslide, pushing my cat away, but I lunch for her and grab her by the collar and the scruff of her neck and place her on my shoulder, right among that lower clump of trees.
Just below the trees a man plops down face down on the dirt, and a large splat of blood is under his face. I think his eyes are bleeding. I call out to my wife, "I see your dad here!" My wife is with me, and her father plops down again in between us, sort of splurts/coughs and a huge splat of blood covers the area under him. My wife tells me in a heavy voice "our son S2 is gone! Gone forever! Overdose of Kool-Aid "Zip" (which I know to be a candy flavored drug). I'm stunned. I say "Our S2? Gone forever?" I try to think when I last spoke to him, and think we'll never again see him. I am overcome with unimaginable pain.

I wake up and it takes me a long time to calm down, with a pain in my heart. I think dream practice would suck if dreams were all like that.

get up and work for a few hours, make & eat breakfast. Then BTB and BTS pretty easily since I'm feeling quite drowsy/tired again.

+ turkey jerky
I'm standing in some large open office area with a square counter set in the middle, stairs lead down to the left, sort of like a large public library. The woman at the counter asks me if I've received my complimentary replacement shipment of 2 packages of turkey jerky. I have not received it and say so. She calls a man over to help me with the order? Don't recall anything after that.

+ nudist colony
A young woman is leading me through a series of doors and rooms. This is a nudist colony, and she's directing me to the swimming pool. I think (say?) that a nude swim would be wonderful and refreshing. I'm noticing that there are nude women sitting to the sides of the rooms, I see just their backs, a couple are in a hot tub on the left. As I walk past them I think there's probably a lot of free and open sex here. I walk up to one sitting girl and get bold and

Spoiler for sexy encounter:

whip it out and it dangles in front of her face, she opens her mouth and follows the swinging with her head in order to finally lead it in and starts a BJ

and I wake up. Probably lucid at the very end.

+ long non-lucid sex
... walking along somewhere in a group, a window at eye level appears on the right in a wall, I look in and catch a glimpse of a pretty girl. I stop, enter through the raised door in the wall, step up and go in, turn to the left and there's the girl.

Spoiler for sexy encounter,:

Long BJ, dominant/rough at times. At one point I lean down over her back, reach down her back in between her cheeks and insert a finger inside her (ahem). It's so tight it barely goes in, it's amazingly tight. I think I need to try that so left her up and initiate intercourse. It sort of fits but it's so right that it just doesn't quite go in. I'm moving her up and down to work it in, and finally it does go in a bit deeper. I reach around and hunt for the back alley entrance and stick a finger up there and feel it there for a bit.

+(f) weird dark witch scene
Dark building, freaky faced witch to the side.

+ pickpocket
I'm walking in a crowded outdoor area with lots of people and I feel a tugging at my left hand. I look down and see a guy running off from me, I'm holding my wife's bag/backpack in my hand and he just obviously tried to pick it. I look at him he seems vaguely Asian. Then I keep looking and I see two more guys, one a white guy who is looking back at me while he runs away and I "recognize" him [FALSE] as a pickpocket I've encountered before. I'm starting to run after them then I call out to the crowd in a foreign language "STop, thieves!" I think a better word to use is 'catch' so I call out "Catch them, thieves! thieves! They tried to steal my wallet!" and I see ahead of me some people are coming out of a (restaurant) and surrounding the guys and catching them. I run up to the group, where about 4-5 beefy young men have surrounded and bound the thieves (in what looks like large doggy circular no-scratch head shields). All the guys, thieves and catchers, have strange, slightly deformed faces, like droopy eyes or very bad uneven teeth. The catcher to my right indicates that the are an (undercover squad?) trained in capture, he's proud they caught them. I say in a foregin language, "thank you! they would have stolen my wife's ..." and I wonder what they would have stolen. I open up her bad and look inside and see several small things, including a portion of her broken gold watch bracelet/chain. I say if they had gotten that it would have been a real blow!

Non-Lucid but very vivid: I was living among a colony of people. We were gathering resources necessary for our survival. We were constantly moving from place to place, each one higher than the last. We are fleeing the water that in on the constant rise & the rain continues off & on so that there isn't much of a reprieve. I saw no sun or moon. It seemed very odd whether it was earth or not was not clear. I watched children with awe at children finding small things to play with. I was appointed somehow to document our travels & our existence. It did not feel like this was the earth I know.

I was at some aunt's house and thought it was christmas for some reason.
Anyway something was repeating over and over again. I was trying to do something, gymnastics? yoga?
then I was transformed into a form of energy, I could see third person view my outline in this strange yoga position
but inside I was an orange flowing energy, quite runny like orange honey or lava but not hot. It was cool feeling and nice.

Then it dawned on me that I was in a dream and I said "I'm dreaming!" a little too excitedly. I was perplexed at not being human in my dream but being this wonderful but unusual energy.
My mind started to race, "Quick what should I do while i'm lucid","Fly!" I thought. So I flew but I moved within the outline only, so it was more like everything else moved and I stayed still, "Zoom" then I thought um, what now? and was happy and wondrous of the energy.
then BOINK! I was waking up.

[Comment]
Last lucid was caused also by slow dawning due to physical sensations of a repeated event (key turning).
Thanks Elainey! for giving me the intention, again

Settings: Near the school, unknown place, a building.
Lucid Dream: No
Characters: My crush, Mark, a driver and someone I forgot

The dream started in a van near my school. I all of them. The driver is very fast, but can stop easily. The van gone out of control so he parked it. Then we, crush, Mark, and the one, went inside a building. We planned to separate, I and my crush on the one car and the rest is on the other one. BUT we should communicate every 30 mins. 2 of the phones are half charge and the rest are no battery at all. We separated. My crush will drive, while I hold the phone. Then my crush know a shortcut, which leads to highway I know, but very dangerous! We finished crossing the shortcut. And found ourselves in a familiar highway. It has many car. But safely exited the highway. The other group called on the phone. When I tried to push ANSWER, the dream ended.

Preface:
Bed at 10pm in attempt to catch up on much needed sleep. I also took echinacea drops in a few ounces of water.
I did not end up sleeping, because I could not get comfortable.
I was still sensitive to noise (???) I even put in ear plugs but I kept waking up.
My body was aching because of working out and practice. I began to develop a slight headache.
At around 1am, I decided to take something for the headache and went back to sleep.
Decided to sleep at the foot of my bed after many failed attempts at sleeping or resting.
I was finally able to fall asleep during the early morning hours before my alarm at 6:45am.
Recall is not good; I was so tired and I didn't jot anything down.

DR 1
I had been kidnapped by a man. I remember sitting on the floor in a cell (?), but it was rather large. The room was white, the floors were white/grey. I couldn't really see the bars around me when I was inside. I could only see them as a third person. I was scantily clad. The man would tell me to do things- like "bring a dish(?) or plate(?) here" and "there". And "go sit on the floor". I was not the only slave. There were others. We were not "frightened", but more "broken". I felt like my spirit had been broken.


Side Notes:
This is the 2nd dream this week with a kidnapping.
I felt very submissive in this dream. I don't generally feel like a slave IRL, but I suppose it mean being a slave to many responsibilities and still trying to do what I want to do.
The colors white, and grey

I was in a survivor challenge where you had to start a boat & race it but in one heat I was having trouble starting it. My opponent looked like one person but felt like another so I became lucid at this point. I turned that person into my ex-girlfriend Gail! I've never turned someone into someone else like this. I was still trying to win but I tried to cheat & have my husband start the boat ahead of time & was disqualified. But then I had a funny thought like "hey, maybe I could sell this engine on ebay!"
