Dream
Semi Lucid
Lucid

I traveled to Egypt with my father. In real life I've never been to Egypt before. The dream started in a tour bus that was driving through the Sahara desert. We were inside the bus. There were many tourists inside the bus. The bus was an old one, and it was quite cramped. All the seating spaces, and nearly almost all the standing spaces were taken. Even worse, each of the tourists had a huge backpack with him/her, and it took up almost as much space as the person, even though the bus was filled with way too many people for safety regulation, I think. Someone even transported a goat, a chicken, and a pig inside the bus! No space for moving anywhere. And in the back corner of the bus I see this ladder. It was made of I think, hollow metal tubes or pipes. It was just like this one, except all old and rusty, to match the aged interior of the bus.

The ladder was built in the bus, anchored to the floor, and went up one of the walls. Seeing it, I shove my way past the tourists, with great difficulty, but I finally get to it, and start climbing up it. I climbed up through a hole in the roof, and I see the bus has another deck on the roof. This second deck on the roof, was entirely open to the elements, but fortunately, the weather was nice. There were no seats on the roof. The second deck was surrounded by a metal railing on it's perimeter, to keep people from falling off the bus. I was surprised that there were no tourists who had climbed to the top of this deck like I did. The only people here were 3 old men with long gray/white beards. They were seating on the colorful rugs positioned directly on the roof floor. They were seating in the lotus position, meditating and praying to Allah. From here the dream shifted to the next scene.

I, my father, and the tourists, are all standing in a semicircle around an underground entrance to the tomb. Our tour guide is standing in the entrance and explaining to us the history of this tomb, who built it, when, and why. I pay no attention to what he says, but rather to my surroundings and the people who are with me. I notice that the bus has left, and mention that it would have taken half an hour to unload everyone, so cramped it was.

The tour guide goes inside the tomb and mentions us to come along, and we follow. He warns us against damaging any artifacts, stepping on any trap doors... We went down a series of low, flat, broad steps, careful not to hit head against the ceiling. Inside the tomb is much more expansive and extends underground in a maze of different brightly painted rooms, with murals and hieroglyphs.


I remember the walls being brightly painted as such. The tourists quickly spread out to explore all the different passageways in the tombs. One room would always lead to another and another. Exploring this place felt just like a video game. Indeed, there was a small screen display in the corner of my vision that showed me a localized floor plan of the complex. The rooms were dimly lit with no apparent light source, as if coming from the walls themselves. I do not remember much of the details about this underground tomb room complex, I only remember exploring it and it was very fun. Exploring this place, it became apparent to me that it spread outwards in two dimensions, no 3 I thought, when there were some steps going up or down. Occasionally I saw other tourists too. Then I came into a room bigger then the rest, and there was a steps going up, kinda like in this picture.


I went up the steps, and emerged in the upper part of this temple complex that was built above the ground.


This part was no less extensive than the underground tomb part I was just in. I spent a considerable amount of time exploring it. There a more aged and weathered look. And I look up around, and I see the Giza pyramids to my left side, and then Karnak Anubis Temple to my right side, and the place I was in was between the two. I though that was weird, since both these historical sites are actually hundreds of miles from each other, but I didn't become lucid. I went to the front entrance to this complex, and there was a gift shop there. They sold cookies. I didn't have any money. An Egyptian man volunteered to buy me a cookie, but when I said that I spent all my money to buy souvenirs, he said that I was foolish to do so, and left. I took photos of pharaoh statues. After that I found my father and we went by foot to the Sphynx, but our path to it was blocked by a kind of Islamic market. We entered it. There were spices and pretty colorful rugs for sale.


There were dogs, pigs, and chickens for sale, sat in the wooden wire cages. There were fishes for sale in huge baskets of salt. There were papyrus reed boats for sale. We walked around but did not buy anything.

Morning of February 6, 2015. Friday.



I am swimming underwater in the ocean, in an area between Antarctica and Australia. However, the map I view at a few different later occasions in-dream is incorrect. Relative to Antarctica, it has Australia in the same general location as where the bottom of South America would be in reality (rather than the other side). This incorrect concept and related vivid imagery does not trigger any thoughts of error at all. The map’s location is not defined; it is more like a dream within a dream that I mentally visit for some reason, though looking somewhat like a computer monitor. I am looking for millions of dollars in old coins at the bottom of the ocean. It actually seems like I am only about twelve or so feet underwater at the most. Most of the ocean bottom is white sand and light-colored rock.

There are pirates rather loosely involved in the plot, but there is no conflict and the group only appears a bit later. However, there is one male who is tied to a weight or underwater object in a way where his head is just able to remain above the water. This seems like some sort of punishment (I am not sure if they are intending to come back for him). I try to help him while I maneuver in a small boat but am unable to.

It is quite enjoyable exploring the underwater realm. I am still able to breathe somehow, without any gear. I find everything from fairly modern pennies to Spanish Doubloons, which I hold in my hands at times, some of the coin types being in clusters on their own in certain areas. I am “collecting” the coins and occasionally other items, which also apparently end up in an undefined additional realm, like some sort of abstract “pocket” location somewhere. (I do not see them again after I “collect” them - I am apparently teleporting them to a safe location where I live.)

At one point, another male swims with me. I think he is the captain of a ship but I am not sure of his identity or whether or not he is actually a pirate. He may actually be connected to the British Navy. At any rate, he seems to have only mild interest in the treasures on the ocean bottom though I do have a vague sense that others may be exploring the area and taking coins and such in a day or so. I want to find as many as possible before others arrive.

There is one smaller cluster of about five silver coins that are actually fake Spanish Doubloons. Several real Lincoln pennies are also closely scattered in the same area with various levels of brighter shininess down to dull coppery matte. The other male does not seem impressed by the cheap replica coins and I feel slightly embarrassed when I pick them up to show him. He seems to want to focus on these rather than nearby very valuable coins.

Other than various types of coins, there are also old pocket watches here and there (association with time being valuable, making sense of time, or time in investigating dreams being valuable - being underwater represents exploring the deeper levels of the self).

I am not sure if the submerged man is going to be freed (he possibly represents everyman or how I see everyman), but I greatly enjoy exploring the ocean floor. Oddly however, I do not notice any fish or aquatic plants at any point.

massive night, multiple waking each with recall (though fragmented later), final (late) waking beyond my ability to remember beyond fragments, one short DILD.

early (3 hrs):
+ viewing a medium-sized suburban apartment/home complex while narrator discusses rebuilding projects and changes to the rules about rebuilding, I think it's a bad deal to buy there

+ friend DD's (stolen?) forbidden luxury (purple?) fancy sports car

+(f) the young (girl?) says the team has taken ownership

middle (6hrs):

+ transferring funds into dollars, at the outside ATM, angry at (mother?), Indian man "who makes everyone happy" in parking lot at park, turns out he abused and murdered a child, I'm upset that I shook his hand

+ guest (cousin?) in large family, girls playing naked turn out to be guys, go upstairs & view colorful constructions, closeup of car "guaranteed to win"

+ famous actor wanted the job, he kidnapped/locked up two children, they're filthy, poop on the trail, the boy dies, medical explanation with props on a table and petrie dishes

+ (lucid #97) strange eclipse/things in sky, stand up through roof in car and say "come take me away!", return to parking lot at park and replay the scene trying to calm angry guy (me?), lose lucidity, dead bird head in mouth between guy & girl during kiss

I'm sitting in the back seat of a car driving on a straight highway at night, it's dark. I'm sitting on the left side and looking out the window into the night sky to the left. There are medium-sized rolling hills looming in the distance, and above the hill line are two groups of celestial objects. I'm looking at them and there's something odd about them. One is too large for a star, too small for a moon. It looks like an eclipse of several objects taking the same place. It's just too weird, I think "what's going on here?" I may be dreaming, I reach for my nose to do an RC, when my fingers pinch my nose I'm fully lucid without having to try to breathe since my nose feels wrong, insubstantial. I'm continuing to look out the window and right when I get lucid two bright star objects swoop down a bit and to the left from the eclipse cluster, I think they're acknowledging my lucidity. What to do? I'm traveling in a car at night with nobody around. I decide to exit car by standing up and phasing through the roof, I will face no resistance. I successfully stand up on the back seat with my upper body outside the car in the night. I look up to the stars/ships and call to them "Come and take me away!" but they do not come. I look forwards in the direction of travel and see only an infinite expanse of empty, featureless gray, it "feels" sort of depressing.

I'm back in the parking lot with the angry-at-mother parking incident, but now I'm standing behind my former self who was angry, (now my son S2?), and I'm trying to calm him down, "take a deep breath", I'm rubbing his shoulders, he's still angry , I lose lucidity, we reach the area of the parked car and there's a scene that replays once to show the detail of how a bird flew down to the upholstered bench where a guy and girl are sitting, squeezed through the seat/back down to the ground where a (cat?) chewed it up, and then the guy kissed the girl but he had the dead head of the bird between his lips and transferred it to the girls' lips.

late (8 hrs then 10 hrs?):

+ girl/woman has put the foot torture device on a man and is describing its features slowly turning up the pain levels as the man/they walk along

+(f) infrequently used jazz room at the top of the stairs, how will I sleep?

+(f) encounters on a stairway

+(f) pulling/pushing luggage around

+(f) someone pulls a thread on a costume, making it disappear (and burst into flames?)

+(f) lots of interaction with people (students?) living in a large home

Here is a second edition of my back log dream journal. Some of these are more semi-lucid but were very vivid and cool.

10 Dec - 2014 - Wild Night
Crazy about 5 lucids

This one started and I was in a jungle on the ground and I was by some weird looking radar tower that was on top of a large structure. It was covered on moss and greenery. I watched the radar move for a bit and it moved very strangely, more like a robot. I climbed the tower for some reason and reached the top. When I got to the top it wasn't very stable and I was concerned I would fall, as in all dreams I began to fall. I then realized this had to be a dream and floated to the ground the rest of the way. I grabbed ahold of some of the dirt on the ground to stabilize and clear the dream a bit. It still ended shortly there after.

I was in the backseat of a truck with my wife and we were going down a hill very fast. I was really concerned with my well being and found myself being thrown into the air a bit. We were almost doing straight down hill, I thought this was crazy and did an RC. We were at the bottom of a hill now and I got out. we were near train tracks. I got out of the car and worked on levitating people that were around me, I wasn't very good at it at this point. I then think I may have lost some lucidity but I was still 'powerful', there were a bunch of cops around and I took one of their guns and I think I shot at some. This one became a cop chase type dream.

This one I think was a DEILD but I lost lucidity a little ways through it and regained off and on. I was flying through a jungle, sometimes falling grabbing leaves and soaring around. I wound up down by a cabin, but cant remember much more than that.

19 Dec - 2014 - A Cult
Semi but long and vivid
I was initially part of a cult and we were building a big structure, kinda like an ARC but a building but we were all god like. Some girl got kicked out and ended up killing someone and coming back to the cult. I was getting ready for battle but realized I was more powerful than anything and went to face the invasion alone. I stood at the road entrance and the incursion began with foot soldiers. I used TK to toss them all up and some I threw into different objects. I was able to pick up multiple at a time and eventually the guys stopped and vehicles started. I also threw them in the air. At the end of this really long battle I remember being hit in the side with something and then the people I was with and I walked off. I was happy that I had not been hit but it was a very cool dream.

29 Dec - 2014 - Late for Work
I was talking to my wife about something that had been bugging me and after the conversation I realized it was very late and I was really late for work. I began getting ready but looked at a different clock, it was different and then another was different. I asked myself WTF (dreamsign) and did an RC. Tried to do something inside at first, not sure what not. I was in my house and it was really close to what I live in now. I went outside and pat my dog on the head, then picked up a rock in my hand and rubbed it to further stabilize. I rubbed it quite a bit. My front yard was really similar to how it is now, it was very sunny outside. I thought of flying up to go to an alien planet. I ended up not being able to fly really well and wound up grabbing the house gutter to try to climb up. I was holding on to the siding and decided to do an elegant back-flip which instead I ended up landing on my side. I floated to the garage roof which was across the yard. This dream seemed to last quite awhile.

1 Jan - 2014 - Slap the counter
I wrote this 4 days after it happened so not many details. I was at a counter in a kitchen and had a moment of clarity and did a RC. Hands. I slapped the counter and shouted to stabilize and the DC that was there looked at me funny. I started looking closely at wall and feeling it, even climbing up it a ways. This was even later. Don't remember how long it lasted, but it seemed like quite awhile.

17 Jan - 2014 - Supplements
I had at least 3 maybe 4

In bedroom very unstable. Dark and felt like a lot of clothes were on me, i thought I might be in a dream so I tried to move a box with TK and it moved. I did a lot if touching when I got out of the first room. Light switch wouldn't work. Outside it was day time.

This one was very long and it started with hanging out with my family, I did a random RC and became Lucid. I left right away and began to explore and I was touching a lot of things as i was moving through the dream. I may have lost a little lucidity but I was exploring many different houses. I went up and down and climbed through rubble in one house.

I was in a car with some guys I work with and did a RC and became lucid. I got out of the car and began to use TK on everything. I was flipping cars and tossing people around, off the bridge I was on. I was in a city type place so there were buildings all around the freeway I was on. Pretty cool one.

I dreamed of my old family beach resort. That is strange, I haven't dreamed of that place in a long time.


I was in my art history class. I had forgotten to do the homework. We still had [a large amount of time] before class to do the work. I thought about trying to do it, but instead decided to get up and leave class.

...

I somehow found myself in a martial arts/combatatives shop. They sold everything relating to fighting here. Guns. Bows. Swords. I remember seeing some of the weapons on the wall and thinking I wanted to get one. I knew that I was in some sense or another 'allowed to'.

The front room of the store was cramped with all the weapons and gear. I made my way into the back room that was almost completely empty.

I then ran into a group of about a dozen martial artists, proudly wearing white uniforms and black belts. They asked me how good I was with a bo staff and gave me one. I started spinning it around, as I did telling them that I've never had any formal training or practice with one. I just used to have a stick and I would use it for play.

They then asked me if I found it funny when I was teaching new students if they got [two similar stances] mixed up. I told them about how (IWL) I've been attending Taekwondo lessons for four years, and I still got [those stances] mixed up sometimes. Because I was making mistakes and open to learning I didn't find it annoying.

They didn't seem to happy with this answer and left me there.

Then the shop owner came up and told me that I was here because someone had challenged me to a fight. He said that he couldn't tell me who because my challenger had chosen to remain anonymous until the fight.

I asked him what the rules of the fight are. He told me that it was totally open. Any moves were fair-game. The only rule is I am not allowed to bring other people in with me.

He gave me a different outfit, a black martial arts uniform and told me to head up to [some cave] where the battle would take place.

I teleported outside. I became lucid around here and realized that I wanted everyone to hurry up and get this fight on, with all the short-lived lucidity I've been having, there was no way we were going to see some action.

The cave was out in a snowy tundra in the mountains. The only way into the cave was a rope bridge. It seemed to be made out of these tough vines of some sort. I couldn't really tell. It led into a cave. Inside the cave was mostly filled with water. (Very cold water, since tundra and all) but there was a small platform, about 20ft around in the middle that the bridge connected to. There were a couple of waterfalls coming into the edge of the cave and a couple of holes in the ceiling where sunlight shown through like a spotlight onto the main floor.

There was another bridge that came from the opposite side of the cave. There were all of these people on the opposite side that were watching, including the guys that were in the back of the shop from earlier. It didn't take them long to send their opponent across. Some of them had even set up tents and what not.

So, you already know I was supposed to fight Manei, my very own dream guide. But I didn't know that just yet. (TBH I didn't pick up on it until halfway into the fight.) Because when she came across, I hardly recognized her. She had cut her hair short (not really short, just short enough to lay flat on top of the head.) She wasn't wearing her headband. Though I guess what threw me for a loop was the idea that Manei had picked a fight with anyone. She's always given me the vibe that she was something of a pacifist.

But the reason I didn't recognize her was the fact that her energy/aura that I usually felt seemed completely absent. It was strange, and I am still not 100% sure that the character that I fought was her.

She tried to taunt me into attacking first, but I remained quiet and motionless. Eventually she just charged right at me, winding up for a big punch right in the face. It was like facing down a charging bull.

I simply sidestepped and tripped her with one foot as she came in. I honestly did not expect that to work at all. She fell forward but managed to catch herself. She got to her feet ready to fight again. She went in for a couple kicks. I noticed that her form was horrible, she wasn't guarding her body and seemed off balance.

When she moved in for a punch I was able to duck under her. I was coming around to elbow her in the back when I realized that I was fighting Manei, and what I was about to do could really hurt someone. I tried to think of another way that I could end this fight quickly without really hurting her. I for some reason thought of how in Avatar, that one girl (Ty Lee was it?) can Chi-Block her opponents and paralyze them without hurting them.

I threw a couple of random quick jabs to her back and (Because lucid dream) it worked. Her right arm was completely paralyzed, hanging limp at her side. She came around with her left and tried to punch me. I grabbed her with my left and twisted her wrist around so that she was off balance. Two more jabs with my right arm and both arms were paralyzed.

I stood back and looked at her. Her hair was long now, but undone and messy. For some reason the dream became really detailed here. I could see every detail in her. Her facial expression, full of aggression. Her arms, that she was already starting to get feeling back in them. She was opening and closing her fists. I could even see her breath in the cold air of the cave. The cave itself became more detailed too. I could now hear the waterfalls and see little crystals inside the stone floor.

The fight dragged on for a few minutes of interlude combat. She didn't manage to land a single solid hit, despite giving it her all. I didn't land many hits either, I was being very careful not to hurt her.

After awhile, She didn't want to fight anymore, she wanted to wrestle. I put my hands into my pockets. She ran right at me ready to grab me and take me to the floor. When she got in close, I jumped back, and landed on my back, feet in the air. She jumped for me and I kicked her up and behind me. I heard a splash sound. By the time I got up I saw the spot in the water where she had gone in.

I began to notice that she wasn't coming back up. Either that kick or the cold water had knocked her out.

"Huh... man... that water looks cold!"

I jumped in and fished her out. Despite being fully lucid, she seemed impossibly heavy and I was barely able to lift her out. I managed to get her back up onto the arena. She coughed up a bunch of water.

For some reason or another, I had to carry her across back to her family. And my oh my, I wish I had a smaller dream guide. One of the martial arts guys came over to me, the oldest and most experienced. He told me that it was customary for dream guides to fight their dreamer at least once. He gave some reasoning behind it, but I didn't find it very valid, or think that it applied to me and her.

He also told me about how you might expect that most of the time the guide would win, but in reality it is actually about 50/50. In most cases it really depends on the personality of the dreamer/guide rather than their position.

The last thing that I remember was her little sister of about six years old (or who I assumed was her little sister) running up and asking if she was okay. She had gone unconscious again. I told her that she would be fine. The dream ended and I woke up.

Tuesday Night:

DILD

I became lucid while I was in some kind of prison. I showed these two enormous, mythical creatures with hidden, dark faces and giant hats some cool powers. I made them both levitate in the air for a few seconds.

They looked like that but huuuuge.
They thought I was pretty cool for being so powerful. I then saw one of my old friends that had been part of the dream before I became lucid. His body was distorted because he had been mutilated. I promised him that I could make him clones of his body to put his consciousness into, as many as he wanted! I followed the line of inmates into another room while I continued to talk to my old friend, his face slowly looked less mutilated the longer we talked. Woke up.


Wednesday Night:

Before this night, I practiced being lucid in a dream while I was awake. I noticed that I constantly had thoughts that the dream was going to end soon, I let myself relax and I reprogrammed my expectations. I began to believe that I could actually stay in a dream for a long time and that it didn't have to end, because I had been in the waking lucid dream for so long. I knew that I could relax and enjoy my dreams without any pressure to hurry. I felt much more confident when I went to sleep, all thanks to Dreamer's wonderful advice and wisdom

DILD #1

I was talking with Keannu Reeves and a couple other movie people when they all suddenly started talking about lucidity. They started individually saying to me that I was lucid. Then they all said it in unison, "You are lucid!"
I repeated back at them in agreement, "You're right, I am lucid!!"
They repeated it again, "You are lucid!!!"
I repeated back at them, "I'm lucid!!!!"
I got really excited and woke up into a false awakening.

DILD #2

I was in my parents' room with Dreamer, I was telling her about the dream that I just had. While I was recounting the details to her, she said something that Keannu Reeves had said, but I didn't tell her that part yet. I cocked my head to the side and squinted my eyes at her while saying, "How did you...wait a minute..."
I did a noseplug RC and realized it was a dream.
I grabbed her hand and she went limp. I picked her up with one hand, then proceeded to fly up into the ceiling. I went straight through the roof while I imagined that D.R. island would be on the other side. The first attempt failed and I fell back down to the ground. The second time I got through the roof and there was another roof above that roof to get through, I fell back down. I started to get a little bit frustrated but I tried again and got through all the roofs only to discover that this room was in a giant void. At that point I was super frustrated and I woke up. Upon waking, I realized that I had woken up because I was getting all worked up about my dream control not working. So I made sure that next time I would remember Dreamer's advice, "Don't worry about one thing not working because you can always try something else!"

DILD #3

I was visiting my parents with Dreamer. My dad had said something about how much he missed me and that he was going to make green chili. He wanted to know if I was going to have any and I basically said that I would if it didn't have any pork in it. I remember looking at my arms and seeing tattoos all over them, I thought that was very strange.

I don't remember how I became lucid.

In my earliest memories of the lucid part of the dream I phased through several walls just to make sure that I could. I was super calm in this dream and not worried at all about waking up, it was really nice.
I wanted to get outside so I tried to run through a window head first. I bounced off and fell on my bum. I tried to calmly walk through it, didn't work. I remembered that I didn't need to worry because I could always try something else. I imagined that there was a handle at the bottom of the window that I could use to open it. I reached towards the bottom of the window and slowly opened it, then crawled through it to get outside. It was a very windy day but I was really happy that I didn't have to wake up and I felt peaceful. I calmly walked through the dream and decided it might be good to farm some points for Sensei's competition while I ventured towards D.R. island. I imagined that gravity was pulling me towards the sky rather than the ground. I flipped upside down then started to float down towards the sky. I changed gravity back to normal before it got too strong. I saw several red bicycles in trees and on roofs around me. I made them fly through the air towards me and sent them shooting off with the wind. While they were flying away, I slowed down time and the colour of the world changed to have a blueish tint. The colours went back to normal when time sped up again. I then made a couple fire balls appear in my hands. I noted how incredibly realistic and beautiful they were before I threw them off into the distance. They exploded when they made contact with stuff.

I should also mention that while I was doing all of this shameless point farming, the world around me was slowly transforming into a lush, green forest. Trees were sprouting up and this incredibly vivid green grass began to appear everywhere.

After I did the fireball thing I tried to fly upwards into the sky at RIDICULOUS speed, didn't work so well. I kind of floated upwards really slowly then floated back to the ground. I remembered the super tasks that I could do for a few more points. I used my super strength to fling a really heavy table that was bolted to the ground way far into the sky, then I moved super quickly so that I left a trail of my image behind me as I was moving.

At this point I looked around and saw that I was at D.R. and I was really excited.

I did a little dance and then thought about summoning Dreamer and The Chocolate Cake Man. But first, I noticed this strange thing in the dream. There was a dark line across the ground and past that line it was night time and the trees were different. I went across the line to see what it was all about but when I turned around, there was a giant curtain. I opened the curtain and the beautiful D.R. landscape was gone, I had accidentally teleported to some dark, night time land. I closed the curtain then reopened it to try to teleport back to D.R. but instead I got to some minecraft looking land. But it was bright there so I figured that was better than this dark place.

The curtains closed behind me and disappeared. I tried to summon The Chocolate Cake Man and Dreamer right in front of me by making them come through portals. The air started to get all wavy as though a portal was forming, but it didn't work. I reached behind my back and waited for Dreamer to take my hand, didn't work. I called out to the dream, "Where arrre you Dreamer?"
She didn't appear. I asked for The Chocolate Cake Man to come to me instead. He appeared instantly, along with several other random DCs. He had blue pants, a green shirt, and a black cloth over his face. He also looked like he was made out of legos. I asked him if he was The Chocolate Cake man. He nodded. The dream started to end. I asked him, "Why are you so special?"
He responded by saying something about absolute and unconditional love when it was needed but I forgot exactly what he said upon waking.

WILD

I had finally gotten into a dream after trying to WILD for about an hour. It started in a car with my mom, she was driving me to her house. I got really excited and said to myself, "I will not lose lucidity, I will not lose lucidity, I will not lose lucidity!"
By the time we got to the house, I had forgotten I was in a dream.
I wandered around the house and noticed there was green chili cooking in the kitchen. I went into the bathroom and saw my ukulele sitting in the sink with water pouring on it. I picked it up and looked at myself in the mirror. I had a huge vein on my forehead and I thought that was pretty neat, I like forehead veins for some reason. I started to walk outside with my wet ukulele when I woke up.

Going for a DEILD and an image forms and it becomes apparent that it is more than HI and lasts several minutes. A series of notes are brought to me related to dreams. The components are in an unusually wide pyramid shaped "monument". The notes are read to me in a weird written/spoken hybrid one by one but the info seems to be slipping away from me. The crowning note is projecting out from the competition semi-glowing monument. I was trying to remember the words as they seemed somewhat profound. The last part or crown was something like "(something...something) just under the surface." Possible NREM before waking fully. Timing makes sense that I may have been done with 3rd REM cycle before this as I had a mini-awakening and went for a DEILD and got a lucid NREM or just a weird disembodied LD. My total focus was on soaking in the experience and remembering the words/message...no thoughts of scoring points for the competition. I only wish I didn't wake up so fully afterwards.

First dream

It was during three days. The first day I was ill, and had to stay in home. During that day I was lying in my bed. Second day I was feeling better, and started to work on a mod for Half-Life. My younger sister told me that I'm going to school next day. The third day I was in school. I had to clean a classroom with other chosen students. When I started to do this other students criticised me. Then a teacher came and told me that I clean the wrong classroom. We went to the right one, and started cleaning.

Failed ToTM

When the dream about cleaning ended I DEILD'ed to this dream. I found myself in an industrial area. Suddenly I became lucid. I try to recall the ToTM page, and see it. I saw that they were changed, but I wasn't sure. I did what I've seen. Basic task I - super high jump. So I jumped, and looked at the second task. Basic task II - teleport somewhere. I did it, and found myself in the Age of Empires III colony. I look at advanced task I - make something disappear. So I pointed at some buildings and they disappeared. I looked at the advanced task II - make a fire tornado. I saw a DC running twards me. I make a gesture as if I was to hug him and say Inferno! Sky turns red, and everything gets an orange glow. Fire tornado was quickly coming to me.When it touched me and that DC I woke up. I was mad, because I realised that those weren't the tasks for February, but my mind made them up!

comp night #10

00:11 bedtime

05:40

+(f) in best friend MR's house: someone has been tidying up, there are neat piles of magazines everywhere

+(f) in some place doing something(!!)

+ the bombs are falling and mortars going off all around me, I take cover in a small tough cafe to the left

I'm talking to some guy I say yeah they're going to bomb us. I'm outside in daylight on a street in between buildings, I'm looking up into the sky behind me while I'm running forwards, I see the bombs falling down, I can't outrun them. They land, I see a mortar on the ground, how can I avoid the shrapnel? Should I lie down in the fetal position on the ground?

I see off to the left a small rounded hut it's a cafe, I lunch for it, there is a guy there sitting on a stool just inside the door I reach out my hand for him to grab and pull me inside. I get inside and sit at the counter on a stool the roof is thick curved metal it should protect us, but the window flaps are open, I close mine. Everyone else around me is eating, unconcerned. I order lunch.

Busted WBTB (up for 3 hours), on the computer in the kitchen playing a dungeon crawl game
Fell reeeeally tired now, about 08:30? 9? back to bed, I'm so tired but it still takes a long time to fall asleep, my wife's alarm goes off several times, she finally gets up.

12:13

+ playing with doll baby

I'm heading down the stairs (waking realization: childhood home) with a small baby in my hands, it's so small it's like a doll. I'm reaching the bottom of the stairs and sort of swoop it around a little bit, it doesn't like this and starts to fuss, I get concerned that it will bother the mother upstairs. I cradle it's head in my right hand. It's more like a doll, I continue to move it around, playful flying movements, it has a strange open mouth with curvy lips like an oyster shell, I think of feeding it.

+ in party where everybody hates me, huffing out, calling them names

I'm walking in between people and furniture in a small room at a party, trying to find a clear place to step, everyone here hates me, they're making disparaging remarks about me. I say "Well you're all a bunch of hags and witches. And the other thing that starts with a B!" The crowd murmurs its astonishment at this statement, and I make my exit.

+ the amazing traveling guy at work

In a large indoor space, I see suitcases/packed luggage around me. This is a small company and we have only this one amazing traveling guy, he has sold our product successfully before, making presentations to groups of 20 people all on his own, maybe with the help of one other person. I make a comment about him going on yet another trip. I imagine his face, he's sort of middle-Eastern, looks a bit like George Clooney, salt and pepper hair.

+ shoot-out in the multi-level apartment/home with the fancy front door

DO from up on the higher level looking down, like watching a show. Two guys arrive into the ground floor, one looks like Seth Rogen, he's behaving goofy, like looking deeply into the security camera on a door and making gestures in front of it. The second guy is serious and is annoyed by this and stops him. The serious guy goes to another door, closer to me, which is very ornate and with a round, pointy top, like a medieval castle door, covered with rounded sculptures on its front. This door is locked, and the guy they're looking for is inside, probably upstairs. The serious guy knocks and pounds on the door. The man they're looking for emerges from a doorway across from me and walks across an open ledge towards me on the upper level. The serious guys turns and sees the man walking there and fires several shots at him from a pistol.

+ discussing the start-up with other work friends in a kitchen

I'm standing with guys from one start-up, <R>, in the work kitchen, standing close to founder J.E., talking about another company I worked for. "Yeah, I was there when it was nothing, I was employee #5 or #6, it was just like this" and I gesture around the kitchen to the small group of people standing there. "Now it's really grown, and has a ton of people, like 30 or 40 or maybe 100, and they're now in the facilities of that other company, <3>" Some (girl?) says they're not all that large or successful actually, I disagree.

+ the unattractive white-clad dancing girls: an expensive attraction for the party at work (ping pong table)

outdoors light, It's a big "friday" celebration at work, they've hired a big gang of dancing girls wearing white frilly/fuzzy costumes. I'm sitting on the ground. I look behind me and I see that a bunch of people are sitting on/under the ping pong table, and it's so bent out of shape from this that it is in the shape of a "U". The girls are dancing towards us and I notice that they are practically all quite unattractive. I think they're going to come and interact with the employees and I'm saying under my breath "oh, please, not an ugly one…"

+ trying to get to the burner, melting plastic, stuff falls down in back, annoyed butler, weird huge bottles of wine

I'm standing in a kitchen and want to warm something up on the burner, I turn it on. I'm trying to find the burner, the cooktop is standalone (no backsplash) and is so crowded with things that I can't find the burner. I notice a funny smell. I'm pushing the pile of things back to find the burner, something towards the back falls off to the floor. An elderly butler appears on my left, I think he's annoyed at how I'm just pushing around this pile of stuff. I notice finally the burner, I see a square bit of plastic wrap (like from cheese singles) on the burner, I think that's the source of the smell, I try to pick it up.

My attention is grabbed by two bottles on the counter to my right. They are large, 2-liter soda-bottle-sized bottles on wine, Dom Perignon-shaped, with bright yellow liquid / chunks inside (sort of like a lava lamp), and I'm amazed at these things, I think they're just the drinks we decided that we would never buy.

+ (lucid #96) packed party in a small room: waking life memory connection, command "brighter", it works!

This started out with basically no visuals, more just like HI, but I'm lucid from the start, perhaps was a waking moment. I try to put interpretations on to the shapes, like arms/people, and I sort of materialize a scene at a party, there's one girl who sits on my right knee and I kiss her a little. I think I need to disengage to stabilize and connect with memory. I do this, I stand up and turn the left and think "my body is asleep in bed, and this experience is all a fantasy." The visuals are basically gone to gray at this point, back to HI, I try to interpret them as people, I say several times, "Brighter!", "Brighter!" and I'm amazed that with each statement of the word, it's like somebody turns up the lights/clarity a little bit more, until I have full bright visuals. I'm enjoying the scene, it's a very small room at a party with people busy bustling around, all female . I'm checking out the adults looking for a cute one, don't find any to my taste, I notice things seem a bit "unstable" and try to clam down, and just observe. I notice that there is a conga dance line of about 20+ identical little girls in identical red dresses (with white polka dots?) moving through one part of the room. There are so many of the girls in such a small space that the line folds and bends around itself multiple times, at rectangular/right angles. I'm just looking around amazed, when I find another attractive girl and turn her to me, "this is my dream" I think I say, she does not object, and I kiss her a bit , and wake up.

In this dream I was standing at the top of the stairs at my old home, and then my daughter came running up the stairs with a dark haired friend, whom I didn’t recognize. Can you say instantly lucid? We hugged for long time, and at one point we both cried, but I composed myself and asked her, “Who’s your friend?” She quickly said, “That’s D______ (I didn’t catch the name), my friend from Heaven!” I gently placed my daughter down and turned around and gave her friend a big hug too (I think I teleported a few feet towards her), but this poor little girl totally freaked out, and her eyes turned reddish with fear. Usually my hugs do wonders while lucid, but this little girl didn’t like that at all. My daughter firmly said, “Dad, don’t hug her, because you’re scaring her!” I felt upset because I scared her, and I woke up.

Had a dream last night that I was in this theme park shop kind of center where everything was powered self sufficient, and I went around collecting toys like bike helmets and browsing around the shop for things. There was games to play and seemed generally like a magical land in outer space that I had found. I thought this is far away from earth where things are different even gravity worked a bit differently. I can't remember much of the dream but took the chance to note it here while I could.

Notes Lucid Semilucid Non-Lucid

I do not remember anything prior to becoming lucid. This is organized to be written in a chat, so it is sort of a bulletpoint-type organization.

I was in a grocery store when I realized I was lucid.
I made everyone in the store sing for a short time
I ran into MrEnter and PewDiePie in a way I don't remember
I ran into 2 ladies (actually a sim from the sims 2 and my 5th grade teacher)
I decided to run around at hyper-speed with E. and P. for a while before realizing I had to stabilize.
I realized that I was on some sort of gravel parking lot.
I stabilized by touching the ground, which felt just as it was supposed to: rocky and really shifty.
I went on to wreck havoc for a while, getting some sort of riot to chase us.
I found out that my 5th grade teacher was my dream guide.
I threw her into the rioters, who proceeded to kill her with spears. (oops... glad it's just a dream)
As chaos goes on, Pewds decides we should get into his car to escape.
We agree, MrEnter questioning why we need a car in a dream.
After a while we crash the car into some kind of hill. The car's totaled, but no one's injured.
We step out to find ourselves on a bright road, no chaos, car nowhere to be seen.
We all decided to get a Delorian time machine and travel in time.
MrEnter (driver) suggested that we go to year 104.
I reply that it is dangerous as that was "Aztec time" (actually in the early 1000s)
I suggest going to the year 1774, but the others flatly decline.
Before I have a chance for rebuttal, Pewdiepie (passenger) sets the year to 104.
MrEnter speeds up within seconds and we find some sort of Native American tribe.
They wield blowdarts, and look over to us menacingly when we see them. They do not look realistic, but rather like they're part of an animated cartoon.
They chase us and we quickly drive back to the current year of 2015.
We find ourselves on the same road.
I had a FA and next thing I knew I was in a wooden chair with my laptop on a table in front of me.
I went to MrEnter's twitter feed to find him describing the Delorian part of the dream.
I note him on Deviantart saying that we may have had a shared dream.
Moments later he replies saying that it's unlikely, and we just had a shared part-of-dream.
I tell him about the first part of the dream (before the FA) in the comments.
I refresh to find that nothing has changed.
I scroll to the comments to find people complaining about a rushed Animated Atrocity.
I refresh to see that his twitter feed contains an apology about it.
He has posted a journal containing the Animated Atrocity apologizing on the fact that it was rushed.
I check my replies, but there are none.
I wake up.

BONUS!
I walked into a traditional-style kitchen to find a man eating a blueberry pastry while a woman in the corner played intense, depressing music on a piano.

Night 5: A couple NL Dreams & WBTB

Night 6: DILD
I became lucid after an old lab group member tried to kick me. I caught his foot and lifted him up in the air by his ankles, then his torso turned into a pair of legs. So his body was composed of 4 legs that were whimsically dangling about. I thought that was strange, so I did a RC and realized I was dreaming. I dropped the legs and then excitedly ran to the door to get outside. I started to float upwards and tried to phase through the wall, but it was solid as fuck. I tried 4 times before I woke up.

Night 7: WILD/DEILD:

~Dreamer~ whispered in my ear when I woke up that I should try to DEILD and I thought that was a great idea! The dream started with me talking to a giant that was about 30-50 feet tall. He said that he wanted to crush me but I was trying to convince him that we could be friends. He didn't want any of my friendship and he summoned a flaming boulder at his feet which he then proceeded to hurl at me. I ran away to try and avoid conflict. He threw several flaming boulders at me, they exploded into piles of ember and lava upon hitting the ground. I deftly dodged them while running away.

I thought about running into a house to hide, but then I realized that I was powerful enough in dreams that I could totally kick this guy's ass. I noticed another giant that was standing outside of the house I was going to run into. I summoned a flaming boulder at his feet, lifted it into the air then made it explode into several smaller boulders. I then made all of the smaller boulders fly in the air and smash into his face simultaneously. I then turned around and saw the other giant still chasing at me. I lifted a flaming boulder that he was about to throw at me up into the air and made all of the fire get sucked out of it, then I made it form a fiery fist. I made the flame fist fly around in the air and then punch the giant square in the face. He recoiled a little bit.

I tried to think about what else I wanted to do in the dream and I remembered that I love to eat stuff in dreams. I summoned a watermelon in the giant's hands which he then threw at me. It smashed on the ground into perfect slices. I got down on my hands and knees and started to eat the yummy red deliciousness with my face hole.

I noticed that the dream was starting to end so I made time slow down until it was completely frozen. I imagined that I was pausing the dream scene so that I could return to it later to mess around with those naughty giants a little bit more. Woke up.

DILD:

I had been trying to WILD for awhile when I realized that I might just be dreaming of trying to WILD. I did a reality check and air went through my closed mouth.
Still not entirely sure that I was really dreaming, I carefully got out of bed. Dreamer was clinging to my body really tightly and so I had trouble moving. She kind of fell out of bed with me, onto the ground. I decided that I would carry her with me while I go on adventures! I heard this strange lawnmower sound outside and tried to stay in the dream but I woke up.

WILD#2:

After trying to WILD again for a while, I felt my dream hands and legs start to move separately from my waking life hands and legs. I moved them around while focusing on them to bring myself more into the dream. I did an epiglottis block RC just to be sure and then I got out of bed when I no longer felt my waking life body. I then started to bring Dreamer's DC with me on a lucid adventure, when I heard that damn lawnmower sound outside again. Woke up once more

New dreaming result! I had significant (semi-epic) dreams *both* of my childhood home and my prior adult home, both in the same night (one after another I think).

Dream signs or oddities that captured my attention in the dream, funny/interesting moments in bold.

FM = false memory

This is but a taste of what I dreamed. I know scenes were forgotten, and details.

earlier:

+(f) college friend FG: hands me a piece of fish, then a piece of chicken, I take a bite of both, they're both slimy

+(f) I have FG in a headlock, I'm contemplating knocking him unconscious (editorial: serves him right for the slimy food!)

The location seems to be the doorway of my sister's bedroom in childhood home, looking out into the hallway. I see FG's face up close to mine.

later:

+ childhood home, neighbor tree with projectile-poop-shooting macaques, bathroom window, shower, visit neighbor & more macaque poop-dodging [it runs out of ammo]

I'm in my childhood home, main floor, I'm really happy to be here. I open the sliding glass door in the dining room and go out onto the deck. I stand at the railing looking at the view and look down to the trees/plants in our neighbor's yards down the hill from us. The trees look wrong, something's different. I see one of them (sort of thick, tropical looking tree, tall and skinny, with large fat leaves) is so tall that it has bent over and reaches all the way to the trees/bushes underneath our deck. This is not good, since I think that animals can climb up this tree to reach our house.

I notice movement in the tree, it turns out there's a "macaque" there about half-way up. It's attack is shooting a strong, tight stream of projectile poop+liquid from it's ass at high speed and far distances. This stream heads for me and hits me squarely in the chest / face. I detect a faint poopy smell. This is nasty. There is another macaque sitting quietly on top of the deck railing where it meets the house on the right, quietly.

I head to the bathroom upstairs to take a shower. There is a macaque on the roof, opening the window, I rush to close and secure the window. Macaque opens it again, I close it and try to secure it, I can't seem to lock it shut. I take shower.

I am now in the house/yard of the house below ours where the "macaque tree is." I look up and see the projectile-poop-shooting macaque is still there. It shoots a few weaker streams in my direction which I successfully doge, it's running "out of ammo." A few last nuggets of poop fall out of its butt. The people who live there are moving away. I ask "you're taking the macaques with you, right?" They say "no." I say "oh God these macaques will be unsupervised."

+ adult home [First time both prior homes visited in one night!]: floor uneven, neighbor fence reduced, garage stairs & hamsters, male being & genitals, outdoors and young men making out

I'm walking through the rooms of my prior adult home. I am thoroughly enjoying being back here. I look at the gorgeous hardwood oak floors. I notice in one room there is a depression in the floor, an uneven area like the floor has partially collapsed down there, a few feet long and a few inches wide, I look at it for a while confused, that wasn't here when we lived here. I walk past my kids old bedrooms and think how they'd like to see them again. I head to the master bedroom and go out the sliding glass door to the back/side yard. My attention is instantly drawn to the fence across from my, it's completely different from how it used to be. Instead of a uniform height, the fence at the point right across from the master bedroom door become half height (full height going off to the left), extending all the way to the right edge of the property. The neighbor's yard (M) is fully exposed and visible, I see the plants, trees, and a dog running around there. I also see into the yard of the house beyond them [FM, no such house], because the fence on the far side of M's yard is also half-height.

I walk along the fence to the right a bit, then two young girls, M's daughters [FM, M has only one adult daughter] are sitting there, (I get a no-panties up skirt peek at one of them?), they go running into the house to get a present for us they prepared for our return. I wonder where M is?

I go down the stairway (to a basement?) [FM, just short steps into garage], and while heading down I notice a small hamster cage on a high windowsill. It is 3/4 covered on top with a white cloth draped over it. I see one hamster clearly inside. I'm confused, I thought our hamsters died a long time ago, the new owners must have bought new ones?

Heading back up the stairs with a bunch of chidden, it's hard to get through the opening, I instead manage to pry open the door and the kids can easily get through.

I'm right next to a (young man? A male being, maybe not human) sitting in a (large hamster cage?) He's rubbing his genitals in the bark at the bottom of the cage, this will increase his power? He's rubbing back and forth, there's not much "down there". Then I look again and he has a large, erect penis. I think "uh oh looks like he achieved his power."

Outdoors in the backyard, I'm talking to someone but my attention is caught by a sight I see through a window/the walls inside the house, two young men making out. Better not to disturb them.

+(f) preparing to question guide about equipment in large indoor dock

+(f) trying to access bank account with banker, keep entering access code wrong, 90-degree left rotated "c" (is is a "u"?)

I ask the banker "will I be able to access my <my bank's name> account through this system?" He says/nods "yes." Can't enter the code correctly. Funny "u" character that looks like a "c" rotated on its side, or an "o" with just a small bit of the top missing"

+(f) long narrow walk-in shower with ex-GF SB [non-sexy]

I'm maneuvering past SB to get to the water.

i close my eye for the most haunting desire the most horrendeous faces the evole forms of death in a eternal reality as i dream and my unconsicous desire of the haunting faces and the eternal death before me evoles into a more horrendeous death emotion
