memorable

I was hanging out with my uncle, helping him fix a car. These two people appeared and were supposed to do some kind of maintenance work, I don't remember. I just remember that I looked up and there were tremendous, red clouds that were swirling around each other. After a few seconds they turned dark blue, then red again. I heard a loud rumbling and the earth shook. Water came pouring down from the sky and waves rolled down all the streets and everybody ran into the garage for some reason. Cars were floating around me, I just stood there in disbelief. I was all alone at that point when a neighbor boy ran up to me and yelled something that I could barely hear over the torrent. All I made out was that I could come with him if I wanted to. I asked him what happened. He said that it was a combination of secret, advanced weaponry and inter-country trading. I felt disappointed, then I realized that it was just a dream.

I told the boy to not worry because it wasn't real, then i started walking over to the garage. I noticed a giant chocolate shake in my hand, I took a drink from it. It tasted like...an imagined taste that I made up when I was a little kid, reading some book about a giant. A combination of sweet flavors and magic. I wanted to make sure it was really a dream and I hadn't just snapped under the madness of what was going on, so I tried to make a glove fly into the air, didn't work, tried to make paper fly into the air. The piece of paper jumped off a table in the garage and someone caught it really quickly. I took another drink of the chocolate shake, yum. Then I decided to manipulate some of this water for fun. There was a stream of it that was falling from the roof. I made that stream fly into the air, forming a spiral pattern, then I froze it like that. I then looked at a DC of a neighbor lady that was with us and tried to make her slow down, didn't work until I got really close to her but even then I could only slow her down for a couple seconds. I put my hands on her boobs and she got really angry in slow motion. I really wanted to make time stop completely, so I asked myself, "how do I do that?" a voice responded, "you just do it". I made time freeze and I laid the neighbor lady and her daughter on their backs so I could do naughty things to them >: D. I thought for a second about what would really happen if I were able to make time stop and then move things around. I came to the conclusion that either the kinetic energy would destroy the universe or there would be no net energy from the action at all. The dream started to end, time went back to normal. I said out loud, "noooooooo, not yet". Then tried to think of something else to do to switch up my dream control skills. I made a miniature, young Jerry Lewis as the Nutty Professor appear on the shoulder of someone that was in front of me. He was in the full costume with a white lab coat, glasses, and a messed up face. The miniature Jerry Lewis just cross his eyes and said, "OYyyyYyyyyyeeeee". Dream ended, woke up.

This isn't actually an entry about a dream, but it falls within my definition of dream-like phenomena.

I was just sort of lost in my own mind when I swear I started just kind of creating a complete and kind of dark metal/rock cover of this song on the fly in my head.



It actually had a really awesome guitar solo too. >.>

I hear music in my imagination a lot but it's usually not like this, except for when I'm dreaming. In a dream I can hear the most amazing club music I've ever heard just generated effortlessly, so I know that the mind is capable of this.... I just thought it was worth noting because it happened to me this vividly while awake and it just happened to be kind of random.

That is all.

Date: 08 Aug

Pre bed: 1/2 cup soy milk, 350 mg arginine (combo)

Wbtb: 1/2 latte, felt discomfort due heat which made it harder to concentrate. I tried doing 1-2 ssild cycles to relax, but mostly gave up due discomfort.

WILD: First was a transitional stage of me in bed and my body rotating, as I was trying to figure out which hands I'm moving. Kind of blurry memory here.

This later switches to another scene in parents' old bedroom where I appear feeling rather floaty and unstablish. In front of me are wooden shelves, so I run my hands on the surfaces multiple times to anchor myself. At the same time a glass case catches my attention, where I can see my reflection - averagely normal with something weird lurking behind. As I turn around to see what it is I am faced by my own doppelgänger and she is somewhat aggressive. She throws herself on the ground initially in some sort of a unexplainable act. Then approaches menacingly but I put her on hold - at an arm's distance with my mind.

As I manage my own reactions she calms down and now I decide to look at her more closely and make some manipulations. What if I were taller and she is now much taller. I examine her with curiousity but still have a bit of an after feel of aggression so decide to make sure she is harmless. I give the overly tall DC a hug around the waist and watch as she changes features to a different DC.

Then, I see the door behind her and feel like doing some tking. I look at it in order to will it open but the dream slips away. Back to my body and still for a DEILD

DEILD: I appear on the balcony, the one that looks over to neighbors. Quite excited about being here as this brings memories of past non-lds. There is a guy that pushes me ahead (as to move further, him being quite active) as I examine the neighbors' balcony. The dream is rather unstable at this point but I'm glad to have a companion and cross over to the other balcony where there is some sort of mattress, thinking both of us can sit here for a bit and plan the dream.

Forgot the exact words now, but told him something like "let's talk about adventures" or so and was waiting for him to sit. He disappears in the kitchen (neighbors) but then is back again, wearing the same red t-shirt as I make a mental note (resembles somewhat Michael Cassidy).

My voice is barely coming out as I say the adventure sentence and I wonder if it would count if I ask him about the basic task telepathically. But how is he going to answer? Too complicated and I decide to go with normal speech, struggle to speak but finally ask him.

His reply is "Woof" which sounds as if he is barking.

Me: "Woof?", are you sure?

He: Uhum. (as in yes)

Me: Ok, then. So what does that mean?

He: Hoof.

I ask for confirmation and he gives me another uhum. Oh well. The dream soon falls apart. I'm not feeling quite in shape to deild so let it go at this point and after a brief ld review go to sleep.

Non-memorable dreams, something vivid that forgot and then.

LD: I am near this familiar building. Something clicks and I recognize this as place of older dreams. There was a false memory or thought about the place too. I get inside and decide to experiment with door summons to see where they lead. I open a door - there are two DCs coming out of something that looks like a sparsely furnished bathroom. I don't quite like it, so close the door and wait a bit till it changes to try again.

In the meantime, more DCs appear around me and one of them makes aggressive moves towards me. After an initial super strength outburst, which comes out like some sort of a force push, I decide to chill out and try to calm them down while taking a moment to examine my inner state. I'm still slightly apprehensive of them, so try to control my own reactions and feel more at ease. From the tense situation I work on my indifference, relaxing more and at some point I start walking around freely and making funny zen moves (but not the Xanous move alas!). Don't remember when but at some point the dream ends.


Lucid FA: I wake up at home, the room looking very realistic and bf is walking around. I decide to play a bit stupid and ask him if I'm dreaming couple of times as if I've lost my mind and can't tell that this is reality. He reacts almost normally but I am still unconvinced. There's something in his reaction that is a bit off. "Hey, am I dreaming?", I continue shouting as he vanishes behind the corner. A female DC with a dark red cardigan comes in and then there is no more doubt. I feel a bit euphoric about being able to catch this fa as it felt like quite the thing I would have missed.

Contrary to other times when I have entered the other room, it now turns to a different place altogether. At first I don't catch the clues, but after more examination of the classical wooden furniture, it clicks how this place can indeed be the interior of Howl's castle.

Without any intention from my side, I notice that there is a fireplace to the side and the fire is as real as it gets. It dawns on me after seeing it that it is calficer. I approach the dream fire with astonishment for it is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. It's not just a regular fire - there is so much light in it, it shines like a little star, while at the same time being surrounded by flames. I feel almost mesmerized by the sight of it and am so happy to have it in the dream.

Spontaneously, I place my hands around the fire and try to absorb some of its heat and energy. As my hands get closer to the little fire, there is slight tension as in heat related sensation but insignificant to dwell on. In the meantime, the fire gets smaller and smaller as if this process is really draining it. I don't want to do away with it altogether so stop whatever it is I'm doing. The thought crosses my mind that I have spent way too long playing around and risk not completing the task because of that.

I face the room and see that the girl is here again. Now she has a pony tail, blue top and and slightly disturbing facial hair. As I approach her, her face clears a bit and I ask her couple of times if she is Sophie, to which she replies yes.
Perfect, now all I need is a door.

There's a small door on the wall that I open, but it turns more into a small window, plus I need to turn the color dial wheel first. I face the other wall where there is a white door and look to see if there is a dial next to it - there isn't. I recall couple of techniques I thought of using in such case, but instinctively pick another one. Bf's DC is just nearby so I ask him to hand me a dial wheel to put next to the door.

He gives me a round knob-like white object that I place next to the door, cover with my hands and start spinning, until the second layer of it starts to reveal multiple colors. Initially it stops on blue, then it moves to orange. I feel like I want to pick a particular color but am not quite sure which one. I rotate it to yellow, remarking to myself this is taking way too much time. Curious whether the outside will be the same as what can be seen through the nearby window (garden), I think it's high time to stop messing with the wheel dial and open the door.

But it's too late - the dream abruptly ends and I find myself in bed, moving my hand and feels like I've lost the opportunity to go back and complete the task.

I want to record more detail for this particular dream because it was so much fun and I want to remember it . I was traveling from Los Angeles to somewhere in Europe by air. I was with my family and an old friend. There weren't many other passengers on board but we didn't seem to mind. After traveling for maybe 12 hours, we were almost there. We were flying over some mountains. The trees were lush with leaves or pine needles, the grass was green, and there was no snow on the ground. I looked out the window and noticed that we were super low to the ground. A wing hit a tree and the plane made a crash landing in a small valley. The plane caught on fire and the cabin began to fill with smoke. I felt my way to the nearest door, opened it, and began working to help as many people get out as I could. When I couldn't see anybody else I ran far away from the plane. Blast doors came down, completely encompassing the body of the plane. I heard a loud, "Boom", the blast doors contained the explosion. The doors opened back up and about 10 people ran out, coughing. I thought to myself, how the hell are they alive. The fire slowly died down and it was getting dark, so I decided it was time that we set up a temporary shelter near the plane. It was chaos, most people were just wandering around. I saw my old buddy and he was completely out of it, he looked like he had taken some serious prescription drugs. He pulled out a gun, pointed it in my face, called me a monster in heavily slurred speech, and shot at me. He missed so I charged him and took his gun away. I told him, "What the hell are you doing? You're out of your damn mind, we need these bullets for hunting not killing each other".

It was now dark, we had a fire set up, and there were no wounded miraculously. I was going through our inventory when I saw a digital camera. I thought, "awesome we can start fires with this". I turned around and this girl was standing behind me, taking pictures of me with her own camera. She showed me the picture and was sad that it was all black with barely an outline of me. I could barely see her because it was so dark, so I took a picture of her. I looked at the picture and she was completely naked. My buddy was nearby, acting crazy still. I went over to bring him a blanket, he still seemed so fucked up. He grabbed me by the shirt, pulled me close, and yelled in my face, "I Neeed some WEED". We had a huge supply of it in our inventory so I gave him some. He took some papers out of his pocket, deftly rolled a joint with one hand, put it in his mouth, lit it with his finger, took a deep inhalation, then laid back all relaxed as he exhaled. I couldn't go very far from the camp before it got too dark to see but I still tried to scout a basic perimeter of our immediate area. I saw a giant fox and I was going to shoot it but one of the survivors decided that the fox was now his/her pet. I said, "fine, but when we run on food your giant fox will be dinner".

The sun eventually rose and I could finally see what was going on around us. We split into a couple different groups. The first group was going to further loot the plane and try to set up a more permanent shelter nearby. The second group, which I was in, was going to further split into groups of two to explore the surrounding terrain for food and water. My partner was a really cute Asian girl (different from the naked one that took a picture of me). She had a bow and arrows with her luggage. After a lot of talking and walking around, we ran into the other girl and they started to fight over me. The girl that had taken a picture of me was hurt and she started to verbally rip me apart. I didn't mind. I said to them, "please don't fight, we really don't need dissension right now". The picture girl left and we continued exploring until we found a small lake that was connected to a stream. We reported back the great news, a stream for fresh water and a lake for potential fishing. I knew that there would likely be some line and hooks in the survival equipment from the plane. The lake was really pretty too.



Back at the camp some older gentleman had decided that he was in charge, but he wasn't discussing his decisions with the group and he was giving out way too much food. I told him that we needed to ration our supplies and focus on building our camp and finding more sources of food. He didn't agree. The giant fox came over to me and rubbed up against my leg like cats do, too cute. I woke up.

Some other dreams-

1:

My brother was going to a concert with his girlfriend but she didn't want me to go so I didn't. They got back and he was 30 years younger, he looked my age, and he was sad that I didn't go with him.

2:

I was at a party when I somehow chipped my tooth, I asked a girl if it looked bad. Her face said it was awful. I picked up a giant piece of tooth and was sad.

3:

I was hanging out with Jon Stewart. We were making each other laugh, was a lot of fun. He eventually left and my sister decided it was time to throw a huge party. I didn't feel like it but dozens of people showed up. ~_~ I recognized one of the guys there, he was an actor from the 80's.

4:

This was actually a series of dreams but it was kind of the same dream over and over. There was a nuclear bomb somewhere in the city that was about to go off and I had to run as far away from it as I could while guessing where it was. The bomb would eventually go off, my skin would melt, then the dream would reset. I couldn't win, no matter where I'd go the bomb was always nearby. For some reason it was kind of fun though. A very morbid, twisted dream game.

5:

I was driving a car, quite fast and quite poorly. I eventually got into an accident and all these kids started to burn alive. I was semi-lucid and I knew that it didn't matter so I ignored them and began running towards my destination, Chicago. I was on top of a large hill and I could see the city shining below. This homeless guy walked up to me and we started talking (he was John Witherspoon). I fully realized I was dreaming and thought to myself, damnit, right when I'm about to wake up. I woke up.

6:

This was a very long dream but I don't feel like typing it all out ^^. I was hanging out with some friends, we were driving somewhere. We stopped at a gas station and I started talking to these girls that were there. They liked me and thought I was charming. They asked to hang out with us, fine. When we got in the car they were really into one of my friends that usually doesn't do that well with the ladies. Then he went in the front seat with one of them (the one that I thought was really cute). The other girl started to kiss my ear and my neck, felt good. We made out for awhile, she was a really good kisser. We eventually came to our destination. I started making out with the other girl that I thought was really cute. She was such a bad kisser that I became lucid from it. I walked around and tried to think of something to do then woke up.

7:

I was getting frustrated that I hadn't had any good lucid dreams so I decided it was time to try to WILD. The dream started in complete blackness, I formed an image or rather a photograph of these cliffsides and a red bird. After a lot of concentrating I eventually jumped into the picture and everything became very vivid. I looked around and it looked like I was in some canyons in Utah. Looked just like this.



Woke up almost immediately. Oh well! Plenty more nights for fun lucid adventures ^^

1.
I was in a big airport which mainly had a color scheme of white. I was sitting down at a table, and had gotten on my laptop. I went to DreamViews and then went to IRC chat. Ophelia was on, and she had pinged me. We started talking about how I was a gamer(im really not) and how I was trying to raise 999$ for my gamer fund. Ophelia told me she was going to give me 10 dollars for this fund, but didn't tell me how I was going to get it.
I logged off of IRC and DreamViews and got off of my laptop entirely. Im not sure what happened to my laptop after this- it didn't show up again. I got out of my seat at the table I was sitting at and looked around. "How is Ophelia going to give me 10$?" Just then, a girl came from behind me and handed me 10 dollars. "This is from Ophelia", she said. This girl was beautiful, and she had light blonde hair and blue eyes. She was about my height and I could tell she was not from here. "Thanks", I said, "Who are you?". She told me her name and we started talking.
After 5 minutes of talking, and getting to see her personality, I fell in love. The feelings were mutual for her. I got to learn more about her and where she was from. She said she was from some country that I had never heard of before, yet she had no accent at all and looked american. She told me about how she had 3 twin sisters(didn't realize this was going to be a problem later on).
Im not sure how, but I remember asking her out. She accepted. We held hands and started walking around the airport, just talking. As we walked, I told her, "You look so beautiful today." She told me, "Thanks, but I only look good today because of my make up." "I'm sure you still look amazing without make up, even on your worst days." I said. I thought to myself, If she looks flawless with make up on, I know she's still pretty underneath it all. Out of the blue, a black guy walked past us and told me that I had a beautiful girl, I told him, "Thanks, I know man."
We continued walking slowly around the place. Soon, the airport around us turned into a mall. I noticed that we were now walking across a long open hallway, and some other dudes my age were following us. I looked behind us, and decided not to worry about them. However, these guys became a problem. They started hitting on my girl and I was about to beat the shit out of all of them, but Raven(Im going to call her that because its the closest to what I can remember, its not her actual name though) kept me cool and acted friendly towards the other guys.
There were 5 guys next to us, and 3 of them were douche-bags. The other 2 were a little younger than the rest, but they were chill. I told Raven I was going to deal with the cock-sucking trio, and she said she was going to go talk to the 2 chill guys while I did so. She left to go talk to them, and now I was alone with the trio.
"You got a pretty girlfriend man, I just might have to take her." said the white dude. "You even touch her, and Im going to beat all of your asses", I said. Then there was silence out of the 3 guys, no reply. I looked over to see what Raven doing, and she was giving a kiss to each one of the chill guys, but it was a friendly-greeting kiss, like the type french people do, so I wasn't worried about it. After Raven told the 2 chill guys, "bye", we continued on our walk. The other 3 dudes that were douche-bags, kind of just left on their own.
We walked to the other side of the hallway across from us and Raven saw a store she wanted to look in. It was some kind of girl clothing store of course. I waited outside, but I didn't stand at the entrance the entire time, I walked around. After about 10-15 minutes of walking around the mall, I bumped into my mom. I asked her if she had seen Raven, and she said she was still in the same store, but now all of her sisters had come inside too.
I wanted to see what her sisters looked like, so started making my way back to the store. When I finally made it, I looked inside and saw 4 girls that looked pretty much identical. The only way I could tell which one was Raven, was by the clothes she was wearing, and I'm assuming her personality as well. All of her 3 sisters looked alike. Each one had a few different facial features, and maybe a little more weight, but thats about it.
Raven told me to meet her at her house later. I had her number so it was all good. I left the mall and started walking home(lol i have no idea why I started walking, its a REALLY far walk, and plus I have a car so wtf). It was still sunny outside as I started my journey, and I knew now it would be a long walk. I started walking along the side of a long road, which was more black than most roads so it must have been newer. As I was walking, I noticed a car coming towards me. As it got closer to me it started slowing down. I could tell whoever was in it wanted to talk to me or something.
As the car stopped in front of me I went to the window of the passenger seat. The window rolled down and in the passenger seat, I saw the black guy that had told me that Raven was beautiful and that I had a good girl. He talked to me about her and told me about how he was going to get her(why does everyone want Raven?!?). I responded back to him negatively, something along the lines of, "No you're not". He got angry and called me some names, some of which I had never heard before. His mom was driving the car and he had some siblings in the back. His mom didn't care a single bit about what was going on. What a nice parent.
The black dude rolled up his window and his mom drove off. His family seemed rather zombie-like because they didn't say anything or do anything. They just sat there looking around. I continued walking to Raven's house and after a long time I finally made it. Her entire neighborhood looked like some town out of Italy. It had Italian architecture and everything. Somehow I knew where her house was and knocked on the door. Her mom answered and let me in. The house was about average size. I walked into the living room where Raven and all of her sisters were, and I also saw a friend of mine, Codi, a girl I knew. I stood in the living room and talked to Raven's family and stuff for a while.
This is were I forgot alot of things. The next thing I remember was being in the mall parkinglot again with my dad, but it was the same dream. My dad told me to go down into an alley and look for someone, I forgot who. I had to walk along the shoulder of a highway exit ramp to get to this alley. Oddly enough, there were no cars driving on the highway, it was all dead. As I walked down into the alley, I thought to myself, "Am I dreaming? Nah this is all too vivid." (wow, the 4th time this has happened, really gotta learn to look around when I ask myself that." I continued down in the alley and came across a really small concrete room, made out of complete concrete. The door was the only thing that wasn't concrete. I decided I would go inside of it to see if the person I was looking for was in there.
I tried opening the door, but it was locked. Fortunately, there was a big enough hole in the wall next to the door that I could fit into so I could climb inside. It was like a huge chunk of the wall had fallen off. I started crawling inside, but I barely fit into this hole. I looked inside and saw no one there, but yet I kept on crawling to get inside(lol). Once I finally made it in, I just stood there and looked around. "Wow this is a really small place." It was just an empty room. I started climbing back out, and almost got stuck in the very middle of the hole. I made it out, and noticed that there was a small kitten on the ground, trying to get into this concrete room.
I picked up the kitten and unlocked the door to the same room(wow why couldn't I have done that earlier). The door know was jammed a little but I eventually got it open. I put the kitten inside, but left the door open so it could come out whenever it wanted. After this I went back up to where my dad was. He brought me back into the mall again, and told me that grandma and grandpa wanted to take me to the mall and spend time with me(wow thats great!). He dropped me off along with my sister and we went inside. Once we saw our grandparents we went up to them. We ended up just walking around the mall, and it was getting close to night time now.
After a while of looking around, the mall started to close. Store lights and mall lights started shutting down. I remember walking past some huge hallway where the lights had just turned off, and it interested me for some reason. We walked back to where we had came in from and waited for my dad to come and pick me and my sister up. I sat down in a seat next to a wall and texted Raven. I asked her what she was doing, but she didn't reply(This dream was so vivid, that I thought to myself, "wow, this is the first girlfriend I've had in a while." and it actually has been a while lol). I sat there waiting for my parents still.
Out of no where, an asian dude from a previous dream showed up. He told me that I was rude on "the van ride"(once again, an earlier dream) and told me how I should act, but in a chill way. I started laughing really hard over his imitation of what I had said on the van ride. He then went on his way and as he did, I noticed my mom and dad sitting right next to me. We had been sitting down for 5 minutes, and I wondered why we were waiting on nothing. I asked my parents, "What are we waiting on? Everyone's here so we can leave." With that we all got up and walked out of the mall.
Sure enough, outside it was nighttime now. We walked into the parking lot and starting looking for my dad's truck. As I walked into the parking lot I heard a loud plane flying over us, most likely a commercial airliner. I looked up into the sky and saw the dark clouds above us. The sky was really dark but there was still a faint deep blue hue visible in it. At this point, my awareness came to me, and I thought to myself, "Is this a dream right now? Nah, its too vivid to be one."(5th time that has happened). I looked back down and started looking for my dad's truck. It wasn't here, his truck was gone. "Dad where is your truck?", I asked. He said something about how he didn't trust leaving it in the parking lot and so he got a rental truck for now.
The rental truck was ALOT smaller and older. I think it was a Ford. It was pretty old, and the paint job was faded and chipping off. It was also a little rusted around the body. I remember an old lady appearing with us, and we had picked her up to come with us. She also got in the truck with us as well. I fought with my sister about who was going to sit in the middle seat, and my mom told us to stop arguing and to just get in. I got inside the truck and my dad started driving. The dream then ended.

2. I was near some gas station next to a building. Alot of students had gotten inside of this van as well, and the van had a red orange paint job. It was almost full inside too, and the driver didn't want anyone getting out of the van until we got to where we were supposed to go. Just then, my friend Darius got out of the van, he told the driver to wait on him while he went to go get something.
The driver pulled out of his parking space, and started driving away. Darius ran after the van but it didn't matter because he couldn't get inside because the door was locked. I sat tight and just watched because I was squeezed in the middle between a few other people.
There was alot more to this dream, but not having recorded it earlier, I forgot most of it.

3. I was on the outside of some police station, talking to a police officer. He was teaching me something about safety or something and was demonstrating it to me. Later, I had went inside with a friend of mine, and we turned into these small little creatures. I do not know what type of creature or animal we were, just that we were small, naked, and hairless. It was weird.
Something had went wrong inside of the building and me and my friend decided to leave by jumping into these small portals, just fit for us. I ran and jumped inside of a brown portal. As I got in, I noticed it looked like a chocolate malt shake being mixed around. My friend told me it looked like someone had just dropped an entire load of diarrhea and was flushing the toilet. With that idea now in my head, I held my nose just in case what my friend said was true, even though it was just the inside of a portal.
My friend also had told me that the portal I had went into was around 1,000 years old. We were both in portals, but yet still able to talk to each other. I don't remember where the portal led to.

I was in England. A lot of songs were being sung coming from a loud speaker, almost as if it were to distract you from something. Sounded kind of like propaganda. Trains; many trains carrying hundreds of spoons and forks, some carrying pork, all in Ziploc bags. One of the songs that was constantly sung was about spoons and forks, which sounded kind of like it was from CK2. Another was about Porkwood, whatever that is, and had a horse angry guy singing it. "Porkwood, Porkwood, it's good for you. Porkwood, Porkwood, [something else]. Porkwood, Porkwood, [another thing]. We sing our mighty tune!" I also remembered the spoon and fork song, but I forgot it now.

I also remember my family being in my house. At some point in the dream, I remember seeing a Vietnam-War-esque army base, close to a jungle. It might have been a flashback. I also remember having to work with a powerful cop, then when he got to my basement, he turned on me, stated that I knew too much, and proceeded to order the soldiers that came with him to kill my entire family, as they went downstairs to the basement on their own, for some reason. I would then fail in killing him, and probably die (I forgot what would actually happen to me). I would then respawn at the point where I had to work with the cop. This time, it was a different cop, but the exact same thing happened. This kept recurring until the dream eventually ended. The excuse for it may have been time travel on my part. I should have realized that this was a dream then.

Hi guys, it seems that auto-suggestion for waking up after a dream is working but I must focus on my induction techniques once I'm awake.

1. The villa

I'm with my family on vacation in Spain, we own a large villa that has atleast 5 swimming pools (1 indoor) and it has a view over the ocean. I mostly explore the house and get information about why it is build in that way. When evening falls and I'm eating dinner which the personel serves I hear something in the kitchen and decide to check it out. I suddenly get camera-feed of a woman (not personel) drinking from the kitchen sink and also spilling A LOT of water over the edge. Then I enter the kitchen for real and see how it's completely filled with water, the water is atleast 10 cm high and 2 house cleaners are desperately trying to dry it up with towels. Also large pieces of meat or other food float in the water around the fridge which makes it dirty too.

2. What is wrong here?

I just had gym and I'm the only person who's still there, I put my clothes on and have a feeling I'm forgetting something, something important. I'm there for quiet a long time but eventually decide to leave, now I feel like I'm too late for something.

3. The best dream

I'm relaxing at an indoor swimming pool of a house and as I look outside the large windows I see it's completely dark outside. After some time a group of young people (20-25 age) enter and ask if they could make use of the pool. I hesitate but then I remember this is not my house, I broke in here myself. I say sure and tell them I would get my laptop just upstairs. They jump in the pool and have a good time, even though I broke into this house I don't want to steal anything or leave any traces. The whole house has a different layout than mine IRL but upstairs they correspond quiet well. I first look around my sister's bedroom looking for Imacs and go through the drawers. After some time I find 3 Imacs, blue, white and black I think. I pick the blue one which belonged to the father of the house, it had a password which I couldn't find so I put it back and looked in my own room. I wanted to leave a note for the person who slept here telling him to live his live or something but as I was writing I noticed I couldn't read what I was writing and it kept changing letters I decided to just throw it away. I go downstairs which is completely different from IRL where I see some weird things like a door with a large man painted on it which I find funny so I take a picture of it. I look around some more but then I hear the family getting home. I rush to the cellar and tell everyone in the pool to leave now which they do. I run upstairs and the family who enters the kitchen barely misses me. I get to my sisters bedroom and need to get out fast and at the same time quiet without leaving any traces. I was EXTREMELY stressed and opened the window which made more noise than nescessary, once open I had to get passed the mosquito window which I somehow pushed out quietly. The window had a handle on the outside too so I could close it, I put the mosquito window back in and noticed the safety shutters weren't down so I thought of going back in and closing it but my instinct told me to run. I run across the rooftops and through old greenhouses (which a lot of people have here IRL). It's raining and cold but I feel so alive with my excellent parkour abilities. I make dangerous jumps which I execute perfectely I slip on some roof because they're wet but I actually do it in a very controlled way. Running through the upper levels of greenhouses with drops of 20 meters probably. It's difficult to explain the path I took but it was extremely hardcore parkour and I was the first to discover it probably, I also crawled through a lot of openings in the glass walls. when I finally reached the street far behind the house and my own I felt relieved. I was also scared, thinking if I left a trace I would go to prison, my mother was there too and already was suspicious of what I just done. She was very angry when I told her, she asked many times if I took anything or left any traces. I said no everytime and thought of what traces I left, which were none except the safety shutter which I didn't close.

4. The aftermath

I do an interview with the family about if they already knew a burglar had been in their house, the daughter of the family (who's window's safety shutters I didn't close) told me she sometimes forgets to close them anyway. I felt relieved to know they didn't have a clue it was me. Then my family asked me to do the parkour again as they were curious to how I escaped. I followed the parkour again and did it, but I was not as sharp or focused so everything went slower and I sometimes took a wrong turn. It wasn't raining so everything was dry and I couldn't slide on pipes, instead I had to climb on them. I had most difficulties with cimbing up some ropes in an old greenhouse but eventually I got to the top.

Now here's something important, dream 3 was partially incubated by me the evening before. I heared the assasin's creed music on TV and ended up daydreaming doing parkour over the rooftops.

Plan for next night:

-Auto suggest waking up after every dream

-Visualizing a dream in which I become lucid multiple times

- Archief lucidity


Plan for when I'm lucid:

Focus on every detail to find differences between dreams and reality which hopefully will make me more aware of dreams in the future.

Tonight I took a break from goals and I feel like that paid dividends!..explanation at the end...

8/7/14***
11 355am Being chased by a big Ebola virus caricature. He shows up in several locations. Oh no not Ebola again!?? This time in dark house with fireplace going. Previously in another house. Didn't feel particularly scared. Explanation that if he shows up more than 18% of the time, you have the virus? He was like a big long dreadlocks wig standing maybe over 6 feet tall. Weird day residue from the Ebola virus news story. / I am looking up at constellations in the sky and notice one is particularly bright. I point it out to someone and all the sudden it looks very normal no longer super bright and I realize that I'm dreaming. When I first saw it it was like almost as bright as the moon. It was mostly semi circular in shape. I haven't had one of these night sky based DILDs in a while and was excited to see this. Took a walk last night during sunset and could already see some beautiful stars and the moon and afterwards watched two tv shows about space on the
Science Channel. Anyway, I flew up into the sky wanting to head closer to the constellation but, I started experiencing strong vibrations...possibly day residue from reading Sensei's dream journal. I play with the vibrations trying different levels of softly or more aggressively clenching my eyes to check the effect and I start to see a scene form but I lose it and wake up. / I travel through two big rectangular levels of what seems most like an apartment building. I pass many different DC's. In one area on the first floor near where I started there's a party going on that seems somewhat Mardi Gras themed. I give a few head nods to the party goers as we pass. I am with my wife and son. I get down to the end of that hall coming down towards the next level and there is another party going on mostly younger crowd than the previous one. As I am observing the second group I notice my son and wife has left but I retraced my steps and find them and get mad at
them for leaving me back there not telling me that they were walking away. / there's an appointment before 5pm Wednesday that I need to make for a side gig that is in conflict with my work schedule. / I am in this club-like or party setting and there is some kind of neon sculpture on the wall of a woman's butt. I think about the earlier party dream and the connection between the two seems to be what makes me lucid. I go down to the right and then right again into a little wing of this club or whatever it is and there is this beautiful petite thin black woman sitting between two big black guys. At first I ignore them but then I decided it's a great way to test or prove my level of lucidity to myself and strengthen it...and it's better not to have any interference from any unfriendly DC's. I say something like hey you don't mind if I borrow her for a moment (more like a Jedi mind trick statement...not a question). Cool! I reach over and give a handshake (dc interact) to the big guy on the right. She gets up and approaches me and I asked her to remove her top. She was wearing a bikini-like top and she revealed beautiful smallish perky breasts. I whip off both her bottom piece and my clothes in one TK swoop of my hands as if the clothes were never there. I lift her up and she wraps her legs around me, with me inserted inside of her. I walk around the club lifting her body up and down occasionally on my (ahem) enjoying this awesome scene for a while. I just remembered this detail > I see another woman, maybe latino, with large breasts and I ask her to remove her top and as she does I see man boobs and look up and she is now a chubby black guy. I poke at his man boobs and joke with him in a friendly way. < I walk back towards where I first entered and over to my left is a different wing that looks like a bedroom. I approach it and there is another beautiful woman inside slouching on a bed and the first woman has disappeared off of me. I approach the second woman she has dark hair , she is white and wearing pink lingerie. The bed coverings are also in silky pink. I lay down on the bed and gently start making out with her then straight to intercourse for a little while before
waking up...I think for real. / I doze back off doing some mental recall but wake into a false awakening and my wife and son is there and I start to tell them about becoming lucid but then I remember that they don't like the idea of "messing with dreams" like that (memory was slow to catch up and I am not lucid). I instead told them about the dream regarding the appointment before 5pm since it is fairly ordinary and it shouldn't take any offense to me remembering an ordinary dream! The transition after the above is not clear in my memory, it must have either another FA or a transition within that last scene but I saw the woman from the bedroom in the earlier dream and instantly knew I was dreaming again! I walked over to her as she was walking away into a hallway and I caught up with her. We started making out they're in the hallway end another blonde woman who was apparently her sister comes out of the bedroom and I start kissing her as well! We are making out (dc interact) in the hall and they start inching me towards the bathroom. For once the DC's are taking charge and I don't mind! We get into the bathroom and it seems as if their idea was for some privacy and I think for a moment about closing the door behind us but remind myself that there is no need, this is all a dream. They both go down and my pants and underwear are gone and they both started going at my (ahem) and I am just looking down fascinated at the realism and highly enjoying the two of them who both seem very skilled! I wake up smiling ear to ear and after trying to go back in, I roll over and pulled out my hidden paper dream journal to write down a few quick notes so that I don't forget any details. After some quick notes I experiment with getting to sleep quickly using two short (combined senses) SSILD cycles that take no more than about 5-7 seconds. I do quickly get to either advanced dreamlets or the beginnings of dreams that I seem to be scaring away
being a little too alert. This night I was reminded of my other theory that I was experimenting with two nights ago but forgot to log that basically says that if you maintain awareness into HI's and then go to sleep then you are more likely to have a DILD. That has probably been said before but much of this process is all about discovering things for yourself. 185-187

I was considering what to do about my extended RC's specifically for the competition having become so rote. During my RC's I invoke the feeling of becoming lucid, slow myself down and then run through my goals for the competition. I had been doing this since maybe the 2nd or 3rd night and I had a long list of items to complete. I completed roughly half of the ones I had worked out ahead of time quite a number of nights back while lucid. After that I just worked on the 2nd half of my goals during the extended RC's during the day...but since the last half was the same as it had always been, it felt worn out and tired so yesterday I decided to just focus on doing anything fun for my next lucid. I think this made me more excited about getting lucid and resulted in a very fun triple!

1. I had just walked into some sort of house, and I was with a group of people I knew and we were about to play hide and seek. This house was only one story but still probably covered around 5,000 square feet. The game started and I started walking to the back of the house. I walked through 4 or 5 huge rooms before I got to the room I wanted, and it was really dark. No one else had gone this far back, I was the only one. I looked around and became a little uneasy.
I thought to myself, "What if this is a dream? Nah its too real to be one." With that I looked around for a hiding spot. I decided to hide next to the bed that was in the room, but under a pile of clothes, which, I hope were clean. I sat down on the far side of the bed so no one was able to see me unless the walked passed the bed. I then sat down and grabbed a pile of clothes and put them on top of me. Somehow I ended up also putting a trash bag on top of myself.
The game had started and the seeker was looking for everyone who was hiding. I waited a long time, but no one came back to where I was. It was a little creepy back here, but other than that it wasn't that bad. I got up out of my hiding spot and made my way back to the front of the house and left.However, I had forgotten my green snap back inside the house somewhere. I went back inside the house to find it As I walked through the rooms I had walked through before, I came across a dude. He had blonde hair, a red t-shirt on, and some basketball shorts. I asked him what he was looking for and he told me he was looking for his toy action figures. This guy was probably about my age, but was a little mentally slower(not making fun of him though). I walked around with him to look for his action figures. Also, I didn't mention, but I found my snap back right as I found this guy. It was on the floor in the same room I found him and he picked it up and handed it to me.
We looked everywhere it seemed and still didn't find them. Finally we walked to the back of this house where I hid to play hide and seek. We looked in the closet in this room, and by the way it was still really dark. He opened up the closet while I looked around. I remember coming across a mirror and thinking about how real this was and that it couldn't be a dream. The blonde dude told me he had found something. I came over to the closet he was looking in a saw some transparent action figures. They were star wars action figures but almost all of them wear clear like glass. Each one of these star wars guys was riding a bluish futuristic motorcycle. I asked the guy if these action figures were his, but he said no.
We left the closet and decided to go back into the house a little further, into the very last room. In this room, it was almost completely dark, and there were no lights. We walked to the back of this room where we saw a door. I walked up to the door and opened it slowly, it was the back stage of the house, like the entire house was set up for a play or something. But the house was complete, it wasn't cut in half like most theater type environments. Anywho, I listened for a moment. I heard a "worker" in the back stage. I saw some blue lights around but other than that everything was black on the surface. I told the guy next to me we should close the door and not go back there.
After I closed the door back up, I walked back to the front of the house. I told the blonde guy that I had to go, and with that I walked out. I walked across an area of cement pavement where alot of other people were. There was a guy behind me, he was mexican, and he was in a hurry and kind of told me to get out of the way in an indirect way. Luckily for him, I was just about to go inside. I made my way into this mall that was infront of me. As I went inside I noticed it was very nice, with white buffed tiles, and white walls too. There were many stores every lined along each side of the walls.
I went to my left down the left hallway and walked around. I looked at the stores. I passed one store that was named, "mall" and I felt the urge to go inside of it. I don't know why it was called mall, because I thought this was the mall. Anyways, I didn't turn around to quickly go back in, it occurred to me that I would look awkward and out of place to do so(lol). So I walked up past the store a little more and as I turned around to walk back I noticed a group of girls I knew. Somehow, I had the feeling that they were going to follow me. Lindsey, a beautiful blonde was in the group as well with her other friends. I didn't feel like talking to them right now, so I just walked past them and ignored them. Right as we passed each other, a tall wooden sign go in our way so we could't even see each other anyways.
As I passed Lindsey and her friends, I noticed a large girl store directly to the left of me. The store had no walls though, it was as if it were out in the open. I remember reading a sign that said something along the lines of, "Girls, you need to make your man happy, and here's how to do it!" I thought" wow, I never knew girls thought this way." There were signs all around reinforcing how girls needed to do this, and how to do it. I don't have ANY idea why, but when I read one of these signs, I broke out into a mini, solo dance off. I danced in all these weird girl moves, but again I have NO idea why.
As I walked past this girl section, I looked back and saw Lindsey way back there. I continued on my way to the "mall" store, but the dream ended.

2. I was in my neighborhood, and I had gotten a huge gash on the bottom of one of my feet. I looked at it and could see inside of my foot, it was nasty and it really hurt. I came up to a parking lot where my friend's sister's Corvette was parked. It was really nice and had a red paint job. I told my sister to get in and drive because this was an emergency(my foot) and I needed to get to the hospital now. She got in, pulled out of the parking spot and started to drive. She was a pro! She had never driven before this, but still was really good at driving. She drove onto the main road of our neighborhood and started driving to the hospital.
However, at this point I realized how bad it was to be stealing my friend's sister's Corvette just to go to the hospital for something that I could handle with a while longer. As we came back to the parking lot, cops were already there, sirens blazing and everything. I looked at the driver of the car and my sister was no longer there. Instead, my good friend Patrick was driving now. I said, "dude this is bad, look at all of these cops." He laughed and said, "I know", but didn't seem at all nervous or upset. We honked our horn to let the cops know where we were and parked behind a building not far from them. We got out only to meet Emily, and when she saw that it was us who had stolen her car she laughed and was relieved. I think I told her where we were going, but I don't remember. At this point, I said goodbye to the two and started walking home with my cut-open foot. I walked on the sidewalk back on my way to my house.
Somehow, I ended up taking a detour and walking down another street and continuing from there back to my house. I remember why now, there was a big accident and I wanted to avoid it and the area around it, so I did. As I walked up this street to avoid the scene of the accident, I could here police sirens as loud as ever. There were 3 or 4 police cars on the right side of the main road where the accident was. Two cars had crashed and one the cars was black, which a lady was driving. As I continued walking down the street I heard the woman from the car screaming. I looked over to the accident, which was in clear view from where I was.
I couldn't see the woman, but only her partly smashed car. I was afraid of looking for too long because I didn't want to see anyone come out of the car disfigured or anything. Once again, I continued walking. I started noticing around 10 people start running past me. I wondered why they were running. At this point I thought to myself, "What if this is a dream, with all this weird stuff going on? Nah its way too vivid to be a dream." (Dang it, every time!) I kept walking and looked more closely at the people that were running past me. One of them was a tall blonde with her hair back in a ponytail.

3. I was in some sort of nice office and had gotten on my laptop. I had started a webcam conversation with a doctor about my foot and its huge gash about 2 inches wide. I asked the doctor if I would need any kind of surgery to fix my foot. He said, "Yeah, we're going to have to cut a part of your pectoral muscles out, so it will tighten that area." (Wow, sounds like it will really work) I thought to myself, "Crap, this means I won't be able to do my Pec workouts for a while." And in the dream, the procedure made sense and it didn't seem odd or anything-Cutting into your pectoral muscle to fix your foot- why didn't I think of that.
I continued talking to the doctor on the webcam and he was wearing an all-white coat and had black hair. He looked like a guy I've seen on t.v., but I don't remember who. All of a sudden, the doctor started ignoring my questions about my health and started stripping down naked(what in the hell is going on). He got fully naked on camera and just kind of sat there talking to other people. I found out that I was in some sort of chat room with a lot of people. These other people- these other dudes, didn't mind the doctor being naked at all. In fact, its what they wanted.
I was a little weirded out about this, because I wasn't gay, and I never will be(no offense to those who are). However, I tried continuing the conversation about my foot. The doctor kept ignoring my questions as if I wasn't even there. Minutes later he proceeded in telling everyone that he was getting off of his cam for the night. He then turned off his cam.
"Wow", I thought, "How am I going to get this surgery done"(Now that I think about it, I dont know if I would've wanted this procedure, knowing that the doctor likes getting naked on cam in front of random dudes).

4. This was a really long dream, and I dont remember all of it. But heres what I do remember:
I was outside next to a tall stone pillar at night, talking to a nicely figured brunette. I barely knew her, but somehow, we were sexually attracted to each other. I remember starting up foreplay out in public. I put my hands up her shirt and started kissing her. She wanted to hold off until we weren't in public, which I knew was understandable. I told her I wanted to eat her out, and that really aroused her.
Later, we were in a library talking(seems private enough lol). We started getting sexual again with each other, but then, a group of my friends showed up. Great, 12 friends from school showed up. I told the girl I would be right back and went to talk to them real quick to get them to stop cock blocking me. Once I got over to my friends, I first tried talking to Neal, who, for some reason, tried convincing me that he wasn't Neal, he was Neal's brother(wtf). Neal doesn't have a twin brother, but somehow it clicked in my brain, "Oh yea, your Neal's brother Travis", "Yea bruu you got it right" said Neal.
I handed him a handful of what looked like chucky cheese coins, no idea why, and continued back to my girl( I assume it was some sort of payment so everyone would stay away). When I got back to her we went to the back of the library and I started up foreplay again. I told her what I was going to do to her. She told me in an enticing way, "You better be nice to me." I told her I would, but again, I didnt get any farther than 2nd base, but I do think I managed to get my hand down her pants before the dream ended due to my excitement.

5. I was inside of a room with Rihanna and some other beautiful girl. Rihanna had long hair and was dressed in lingerie.
The lingerie was purple, yellow, and blue I believe. She was standing next to the bed stand leaning on a wooden pole.

6. I was in a cafeteria in some school. Some big event was going on onstage(stages are in the cafeteria in my schools). I had just sat down at a table. Whoever was in charge told me I could take off my jacket. All attention shifted towards me as I stood up and took of my heavy duty jacket. Underneath I was wearing a long sleeve red shirt, almost crimson in color. The collar on this shirt was really tall and I felt like it was too big.
As I sat back down in my seat, I looked over to the table at my left and saw the girl I had a crush on. She was a gorgeous redhead with the most beautiful eyes ever. Her hair was in a pony tail. We looked at each other for a second, but then I looked away so things wouldn't seem awkward. Later I remember looking at myself in the mirror and my hair had gotten really poofy and frizzy and was even combed back.

Im starting to form a consistent sleep schedule, so my recall should stay consistent as well and it will become easier to lucid.
Anywho, here are my dreams from last night. I will now try to put my dreams in order from those which happened first to those which happened last.

1. I was with my class, and we were walking next to a really large body of water, maybe an ocean? The water was almost a teal color, with green being the more dominant in the mixture. I somehow got into the water and realized,"Wow this is about 15-20 feet deep". I tried swimming back up, but I couldn't. There I was, under almost 20 feet of water, not being able to surface. I got really uneasy, but not enough to know that I was about to die. I stood at the bottom of this body of water, trying to figure out a way to get out.
I was running out of breath, and about to drown. Soon, my body was out of oxygen and I had to breathe. I breathed in ocean water. I could breathe! But I had a lot of difficulty breathing, but none the less it was happening. I became semi-lucid but at this point I still had a little fear in me for some reason. At this point, the dream ended.

2. It was really cold, and me and a couple of friends were hanging outside, next to an almost frozen river. My friends Ryan, Jared, and Brittany were with me, and even a few other friends that I dont remember. We were about to head into this half frozen river, but we were waiting on a group of people ahead of us to cross it first. It was like some kind of course that we were completing.
Once the other group made it across, we started on our way. I remember everyone being in canoes, but we wouldn't be able to use them right because of the fact of how the river was almost frozen. Ice was forming on the surface. I got out of my canoe and got on a platform of rocks that had a level surface. I was the only one in front, everyone else was behind me. I dived into the water and starting swimming. I could feel the ice cold water around my body as I broke through the ice on the surface.
The ice was still thin though, so I could break it pretty easily, almost effortless. I continued swimming but I had alot of trouble(Im not a good swimmer in real life). I remember my friend ryan having broken legs or something and he was right behind me, swimming at the same pace. I gave it my all and kept pushing forward. Eventually I made it to the other side were an opening in some type of cave was. It wasnt a cave, but more like a small building crafted into the side of this mountain/giant rock. I climbed out of the water and grabbed onto some rocks. I then climbed up onto the ledge of this building formation and proceeded inside.
"Wow" I thought, "Im really bad at swimming and Im the first one here. My friend Ryan was close behind me and soon climbed up too, and I helped him get up inside and over the ledge. My god, he had something wrong with his leg and he made it to this room second. We waited on everyone else and while we did, I looked around the place. It looked like something out of Halo (a game). It was all silver/shiny gray on the walls and floor. There were a system of lines on the walls the went around the entire room.
Our friends were approaching the building. Ryan had gotten some type of claw type things, which were blue, that could grab onto stuff. We attached these to the ledge and everyone started climbing up. It was like a grappling hook in a way.

3. I was inside of a big grocery store. I was in the middle section of the store with my family. I "knew" that I had been to this grocery store multiple times so it was nothing unusual. The aisle we were on had snap backs on it, so I decided to take a look because I've been needing a new one for a while now. I saw a gray snap back which was the exact same size as my green snapback, and it had the one up mushroom on it from Mario as well. I also saw an exact replica of my old snapback, it was like a copy.
I picked it up and compared it to my old hat, they were practically the same except for mine was dirty from years of wear and tear. I ended up picking out the grey one and asked my dad if I could get it. He said yes but he'd rather that I got a hat that was a mix of a hat with a beanie(you know, those beanies that have bills). I though about WHY I would need that, considering the fact we live in Texas and its almost never that cold here. I went to go look at these weird beanies and after a thorough inspection of them, I decided to ignore what my dad had told me. I tried one of the beanies on and looked in the mirror- I looked stupid. So I passed on getting a beanie and stayed with my gray hat.
We started walking to the checkout and I think we went through it and bought my hat, but all I remember for sure was walking out and on the way passing some black guy. He told me that he was about to blow up the store. I just continued walking out, because I was leaving anyway. Me and my family got to "our: car, which was a REALLY small white compact sedan. It was SO small I have no idea how I fit inside, or even more- how we ALL fit inside. I got in the drivers seat because my mom told me I was driving.
I put my seatbelt on and put the car in reverse after everyone got in. I then backed out and started driving towards the exit of the parking lot. As I put my foot on the brake, I realized that my foot could barely reach it, and that I had to stretch to get to it. Im not short, and being 5'10 I should've been able to reach it with no problem at all, and even then, this was a compact car so I dont see how this made sense. I then looked around and noticed that all of my mirrors were off and so I couldnt really see much of who was behind me. I remember stopping at a stop sign and that was the end.

4. I was inside of a school library, and I had been here before. It was huge and there were really tall shelves with books in them(Ive always wanted to read a book in a dream just to see what happens). I went over to the middle section of the library were there were some rather short book shelves. My family was with me. I went to grab a book from the top shelf and to my luck, all of the books from the top shelf fell off and onto all of the other books.
Fortunately, the books landed rather nicely and in a pile on top of other books, so it wasn't a complete mess. I didn't worry about it. However, an old man in what looked like his 60's or 70's came by and was furious about what I had done. He didn't work in the library, just a regular old dude. He came over to me and start blabbering off and complaining. I could tell he was really mad. The Librarian came over and told the old guy to calm down, and that it wasn't a big deal.
Soon, he just walked away, but he was still mad. I continued looking at books and my mom was looking at some too. I remember walking around this school, but I forgot alot about that part.

5. I was in someones back yard I think, and it was really swampy. The entire back yard was filled in about 3 inches of water all around. I had my vans on and had been walking around with my sister back there. I was still a little upset about my vans, but it was whatever. As we continued walking around, we encountered two rather large chickens. They were pretty hairy and were about 5 times bigger than the average chicken. They had sharp beaks too(Now that I think about it, they more resembled a giant turkey mixed with a vulture).
They trotted their way towards me, and the bigger one started trying to attack me. I had a big object in my hand, so I used it to separate me and the turkey thing. This went on for about a minute or so, and after this the dream ended I think.

6. I was inside of someones house, and the owner was throwing a party. It was all people my age, everyone was around 16, 17, or 18. Someone had brought in a new drug, one that I had never seen before or heard of. I went inside of the living room and watched an informational video about this drug, which alot of people in the house were on.
As I watched the video, it described the effects of the drug, and what it did to the body. At one point in the video, the narrator said that the drug made whatever poop that you had in your body, swell up inside of your intestines. He also said it made you throw up poop as well- while it was inflated or whatever. This was the definite point where I decided I would pass on this drug and not do it.
After the video ended, I walked around the house, just waiting for too see the effect the drug had on people who had taken it. As I expected, the people who took the drug, started throwing up their own poop. Other people started taking a crap in the middle of the floor, and their poop was bigger than a football(I know, this is really gross, but hey gotta record the dream lol). I remember coming across one dude with red hair, a little chunky. He was throwing up the worst, constantly hurling his own poop out of his body from both his mouth and his a**hole. It was really nasty, and I was really glad that I didn't take the drug.

Good morning, Dreamviews. Lots of dreams and fragments last night, but in particular:

2:33 AM: I am trying to win my ex-girlfriend back. I know she will be on a tour of this castle (she is thinking of buying it as a home) so I plan to be there as well and also take the tour. I am somehow under the impression that we planned to take this tour together, but when she shows up, she sees me and then looks away, as though she is pretending I am not there. She tells the guide she is here for her tour. I think about staying quiet and just leaving, but then decide to speak up. I tell the tour guide I would also like to take the tour. She seems uncomfortable now.

We head up through the castle, until we finally get to a section with a garden walkway and a well. At this point, my ex's mom puts her hands under my shirt and rests them on my torso. Her hands are cold and I squirm. She tells me it feels like I have been working out. I assure her I haven't been She then comments to my ex that "she might as well hold hands with the guy who is trying to win her back." We hold hands, but I am now conscious of her crying quietly. Very odd dream, Dreamviews! Any ideas?

9:52 AM: I am in my mom's dining room. My wife and one of her friends is here. A kid suddenly shows up. He looks a bit odd but I seemingly mistake him for a former coworker. We begin discussing a dream group. I tell him his brother has already signed up, and that he should as well. We talk a bit about lucid dreaming. He says "A girl I work with does that stuff."

"Have you talked to her about it? I ask.

"Nah, she is too thick," he replies.

I ask him what he means. He then replies in a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, and then salutes me. I find this exceedingly odd, but don't want to be impolite. I ask him how he is enjoying his job. He tells me he has only been there a few weeks.

"Aren't you still working for the zoo?" I ask.

He now looks oddly at me. "Who do you think I am?" All of a sudden, I notice he is not my friend and I nose pinch.I can breathe, but all of a sudden, I go deaf! I am now uncertain of my status--is this a dream? I look at my hand: it is wobbly and weird, but when I look again, it is stable and normal. I show my hand to my wife, as though to say, "Look! What do you see??" She ignores me and continues her conversation. I decide to settle this once and for all. I set off down the hallway to find some text. However, I do so discreetly, so in the case that I am not dreaming, I don't act like a nut in front of everyone. I accidentally bump my wife's shoulder as I pass her and I wake up.

So competition goers, I'm asking you guys: was I lucid? I wrote it down in my paper DJ as a lucid immediately upon waking, but I don't want to take advantage of the system! Let me know what you think!

1. I was in a McDonalds somewhere in a big city. I stood in line and got ready to order my food. As I got to the front I asked the lady if they had a chocolate dipped ice cream waffle cone, and she say they didnt, with alot of assertion in her voice. I asked if they had smaller ice cream cones, and if they could show me what kind of ice cream they had. They brought out two ice cream desserts that were available from the menu. I looked at them.
Then, I picked the smallest ice cream cone up and ate it, right in front of their face. (The cone was the size of my palm)
"I dont want this ice cream cone, let me try the other one."
I picked up the other ice cream dessert and ate it as well. I then proceeded to ask if they had some other kind of dessert, but at this point the lady taking my order was mad. She told me I was wasting time and eating food that I didn't even want. She said that she was going to put all of that on my bill. Instantly after she told me that, she started adding on the things I ate to the bill. It didn't surprise me at all, and in the end, I dont think I even ordered anything for sure.
I walked away from the counter where I was order and went into a club-like place directly to the left of McDonalds. As I walked in, I noticed that this place had a very nice club atmosphere. There were also red and pink lights flashing around the room. After looking around for a minute, I took a seat in a booth near me. Not even 2 minutes after I had sat down, I noticed a really hot blonde walking towards me. I got a closer look and realized that it was Summer Buck from my highschool. She looked really pretty, and she had an amazing ass- just like she does in school.
As she got right up in front of me, I asked her what was up. She said nothing, but started to do something I really enjoyed. I was already relaxed and laid back in my seat and Summer sat on my lap. I remembered that she had a boyfriend, so I asked, "Summer you have a boyfriend, is this okay?". I think she replied with something along the lines of, "Dont worry about him". The perfect answer. She only sat on my lap for about a minute, and I was already hard. She then got up, and started grinding on me in the seat- but in a sexy way. It was like an exclusive lap dance, but with all the touch you could get. She repeatedly bounced her ass on my crotch, and at this point I was hard.
During the middle of her dance, I thought to myself, "Am I dreaming?" but I got too focused on summer and lost my train of thought. Anyways, she did this lap dance or whatever it was for a minute or so. The dream ended after this because I had gotten really "excited" and woke up.

2. Wow again, I think this is a part of the dream above, but whatever Im adding it downhere.
I was in McDonalds, and my sister had showed up next to me. She ordered what she wanted and waited for her meal. As she did, one of the employees told her that she gets 2 free t.v. sessions(wtf). However, kayla had somehow lost her 2 free sessions, and became really upset about it. 2 small girls, about her age, noticed this and told the manager. The manager gave kayla another free session of t.v. I looked at the 2 small girls that had helped my sister out, and noticed that they looked like little cartoon clay dolls or something. It didn't bother me, and so I continued doing whatever I was doing.
Later during the dream, I took on the point of view of my sister. I became her. It was nighttime and I was hanging out with the two small clay-like girls. I now saw that they were really small, but so was I. As we were walking around in some type of cabin, the girls asked me if I wanted to spend the night. I said, "yea sure" and followed the girls around. The two girls said they went to do something and went around the corner. After a few minutes of their absence, I decided to walk around that same corner and find them. When I walked around the corner, I found no one. I continued walking around this really big cabin, and it was empty. No one else was here it seemed.
Just then those 2 girls came from around a corner behind me and told me it was time to go. I started following them but then realized that I had forgot something. One of the girls told me to hurry up and get it, and the other one followed me as I did. The object that I had forgotten, was some type of orange sleeping bag-at least thats what it resembled- and it was really small. I found it tied up to a net above us, so I untied it and got it down. Again, the other clay girl told us to hurry up, so we started running and caught up with her.

3. I was making my way into a huge recreational type of cabin which was right next to the ocean. I had put on a long orange thick sweater(IDK why) and some black shorts. As I walked in the door, I continued and walked through to the back, where a really big deck was. When I got outside, everyone was sitting in these bleachers, set up like you would see seats in a football stand kind of. I assumed that "class" or whatever they were teaching had already started, so I quickly went over to another stand of bleachers and sat down.
The section I went over too, was almost empty, and fortunately, after a minute or so, my friend Dylan came over and chilled with me. It wasn't too long until the guy that was teaching stopped giving his lecture. After his speech ended, he freed us to let us do whatever we wanted. Me and Dylan got up and walked to the back of this huge deck. His friend Alexis, from school, followed us. We all sat down near the back end of this deck, and chilled.
This is where I almost became lucid again. I started telling Dylan about a dream I had, specifically the one in the club where I was with Summer Buck. I told him all about this dream, but I had to kind of whisper it in his ear so Alexis wouldn't hear it. After I told him about the dream, he gave me the look on his face as though, "Dude that sounds amazing". Then out of no where, some kind of band director had come up to us and asked us if we were studying our instruments and whatnot. Dylan told the director that he already had and continued talking about how he did this and that and whatever else(even though Dylan isn't in band in real life). Dylan managed to make the director go away with this explanation and at that, I decided to see what else was around this resort.
I got up and left Dylan and Alexis and walked over to the front part of the deck. Here, everyone was selling food for a certain amount of tickets. I remembered that I had tickets in my pocket, but I wanted to save them for later. I walked off of the deck and into the cabin where I had come from originally. When I got inside of the cabin, my friend Lamar was holding a bag of pretzels that had written on it, "8 tickets". I assumed it was 8 tickets for a hand full, but I wasn't sure.
"8 tickets dude? That's a lot of tickets for some pretzels.", I said. I can't remember what Lamar told me, but I continued walking to the exit of this cabin. I opened the door and on the other side, there was no longer the outside entrance to where I had came from originally, but now there was a basketball court.
As I was about to walk in, I could hear this conversation behind me:
*somebody lets out a huge fart*
Lamar: Who did that?
Other guy: dude it wasn't me
A.J.(Another friend): It wasn't me
Lamar: No seriously though who farted?
At this point I closed the cabin door behind me and entered onto the basketball court. It was huge, maybe a little bigger than a real court. I walked onto it and waited for the next ball to come flying at me, so I could grab it and start shooting. While I was waiting, I went over to a corner of the court because I saw my friend Ryan. He asked me why I was wearing such thick clothes. I told him I didn't know why, and that I was going to go change out real quick into some lighter stuff. He agreed with me and with that I started leaving to go change out. As I was walking away Ryan asked me, "Hey I have some gel if you wanna gel you hair" I told him I didn't want any and continued on my way.
I started walking across the court, and to my luck, a ball flew to me. I grabbed it and shot it. It missed badly. Something was wrong with my wrist, it felt like I had messed it up or something. It didn't feel right. I grabbed another ball and shot it. Same thing, my wrist hurt and it was like it got really weak all of a sudden. I grabbed another ball, shot again. Still messed up. Out of no where, my friend Devin showed up. He asked me what was wrong and I told him. He told me jokingly, "Dude next time, just stand in front of me, with your arm out and your hand up and Ill throw a ball at it". I laughed and continued on my way.

4. I was a huge, open restroom place. Stalls were everywhere. Each stall was red and had the design of a roller coaster seat. I looked to my left and there was a huge stage. Pretty odd. I decided to go into the stall and do my business. However, the guy behind me distracted me and I ended up talking to him. I followed him to an area where there were alot of rows of big red seats, and they too had the design of a roller coaster seat. We sat down, and some one yelled out and complained about the stage being open. After a few minutes, some guy appeared on the stage and he looked mad. He closed the stage up and the curtains came across to do so.
The guy that was on the stage came over to us and one guy started arguing with him. I stayed in my seat, just watching. Out of the blue, my old instructor from ROTC, Sgt. Twine came in. He told everyone to be quiet and sit down. He talked to the guy that was mad to find out what was going on. Twine told us that we were in trouble. At this point, I stepped up and told Sgt. Twine, "We did nothing, so we deserve no punishment. I think it is wrong how we get punished because of this disrespectful guy." He didn't reply and only looked at me. I relaxed back in my seat, and put my feet up on the seat in front of me.
"Write his name down" said Sgt. Twine to the guy standing next to him. I really didn't care and just continued with what I was doing. The guy in front of me stood up in his seat and started talking to Sgt. Twine. He had on a bright green jacket and it had red spots on it- like somebody had drawn on him. Sgt. Twine noticed this and "took off points" off of his "grade" because of those spots. It was just like an inspection, except the guy in the green jacket was just a regular dude, and he wasn't even in ROTC. Meanwhile, while that whole situation was going on, I found myself randomly blurting out- against Sgt. Twine. I did this twice. Whatever I was thinking at the moment, I would blurt out. It was really awkward and I had no control of it, and I've never done this before, ever.
After a few of those blurts, I did my best to be quiet.

5. I was upstairs, just chilling in my room when I heard my dad downstairs at the front door tell me that my "friends were here" like he usually does. I came walking down the stairs in a groggy way, because I knew that I had to be somewhere soon, in 30 minutes. It was around 3:50 or something and I had to leave to be somewhere at 4:20. This reminder showed up in previous dreams in the night(the ones above) and I even reminded myself in the McDonald's dream, and at that time in the dream it was around 1:25 p.m.(weird).
Anyways, I walked downstairs and as I did I saw my friends Trey, Patrick, and Dylan, all waiting on me. When I got down there next to them Trey told me that he wanted me to watch a video. My friend Dylan backed Trey up and told me how it was "really funny". Trey had the video pulled up on his phone, so he started it. The entire video was a close up of someone mixing together Macaroni and Cheese. I continued watching it and there was a really small guy in the video-the size of my finger- surfing around in the mac and cheese. He had on goggles too.
While I watched the video, my senses started doing things. I started being able to taste the macaroni and cheese. I also started smelling the macaroni and cheese. At one point the bowl of macaroni and cheese became real, and I got a fork and ate some of it, through Trey's phone.

6. I was watching this dream like a movie. A game trailer was being shown to me, and it was for a new game. This game was supposed to be the new "Prototype" (a game) before the main character turned evil. After the trailer ended, I began playing the game, Im assuming it was a demo or something. It was amazing. I was the guy from Prototype, but with an underwater suit on. I was underwater in what looked like a giant sea. I looked around a noticed that there were underwater hills all around. My character had on some type of suit to where it enabled him to swim extremely fast, and it resembled wings that were made out of transparent tubes.
I focused on what I was doing, and I noticed that there was a HUGE angler fish type thing in front of me. It was a crimson red, and it was about the size of a few houses. This is what I was supposed to fight and kill. The fish sprinted towards me, but I dodged it. It continued to do this multiple times, and I dodged it each time. There was also another underwater enemy behind the fish, near a tall rock column, but it just floated there and did nothing. Eventually, I swam to the very front of the fish. I started shooting it in its eyes. I continued doing this until I destroyed the eye. Believe it or not, the eye of that giant fish had alot of health. I had to reload my gun and continue shooting at it again. While I was shooting the fish's eye, he got mad and lunged forward a little bit, trying to bit me. As he did this he made a REALLY loud scary sound and I felt like I was apart of the game.
Once I destroyed the Fish's eye, he died and floated to the ocean floor, which was only a few feet under him. I must say, for a dream video game, it was amazing. Really intense and vivid.

Dream 1

Something about mushrooms in an ice skating rink

Dream 2

I was with on of my brothers friends on a road close to my house. He had a job at someones house on this road and he hated the man. He told me that the guy had a caravan and to get him back for what he has done we would rob fruit from his house and smear it on the inside of the caravan. So what we done is he went to the house and the guy wasn't in. His wife was, a kind old lady. She let us get some fruit as it was part of his job. So I went in the backgarden putting the fruit in a bucket. As I was walking out she said she would help us bring some of the fruit to the caravan. He told her it was ok, we got it. So we went to the caravan and he said I could throw the fruit in there. I stood at the doorway and I couldn't do it, not after seeing how nice the old lady was. I told him that I'm not gonna do it. So I watched as he went in and threw fruit all on the inside of the caravan. I felt bad for being with him. Someone from my school lived in a house behind me and he watched. He wasn't impressed and went and told his mum. I was told it was a £260k caravan. After I said he shouldn't of done it, I was trying to justify my wrongs but I knew deep down that it was a bad thing to do. Someone said as long as we're the only 7 people who know its ok. I said 'But he knows!' pointing my finger at the guy from my schools house.

Dream 3

Going home from somewhere, get a lift with a friend and his cousin.

Dream 4

It was sort of like TWD without the zombies. Everything was deserted and out group was walking through a city looking for some place to stay I think. We found a John Lewis shop and it was huge, I said this will be a great place to stop, but I bet there are already people in here. I stepped up to the door and the doors flew backwards, we walked in and a guy got out the elevator and he gave me some fresh clothes. He also had enough for the rest of our group. He told me that we could not stay here, but it was ok to stay the night. After settling in a bit, I was talking to the leader of the people who lived here at John Lewis', he told me something which I do not recall, and I thought it was morally wrong so I expressed my opinions. He looked at me disappointed and walked off.

The next day had come and it was time to go. But before we left everyone was congregated in the main hallway as the leader came to speak. He had a piece of paper, he said that we were free to go now but they were going to keep Rick Grimes 1 year old son all because of what I said. I felt SO bad! I looked at a scared Rick and I said to my brother quietly 'I'm going to say I'll leave now'. I was stepping up and a teenager stepped out an elevator and said 'If you're all leaving, I'm joining you, look what this guy has done to me!' He pushed some skin under his eye away and it fell was deeply cut. The leader went crazy, he grabbed an axe and chased us all out the shop. I had a baseball bat as my weapon. He was chasing one of our group and he ran into the shop opposite. In the shop there were 3 aisles, he ran down the one on the right. I ran down the middle, I had timed it so that as he got to the end of the aisle he would turn left and run past my aisle, I could jump ot and whack him over the head. I was running down as fast as I could to time this, at the end I slipped out. He seen me, helpless on the floor he got his axe and slammed it into my left wrist. Wow it was painful. Then as I couldn't move my arm, he slammed it down just below my left kneecap. I thought he was going to hit and shatter my knee. This was also painful. I thought I was going to die then a guy jumped round the corner and tackled him. I decided I was getting out of there. I am not a hero lol. I walked out injured grasping my wrist. I kept looking and I couldn't believe that the cut was so small for how far the axe dug in my arm. The rest of our group was sitting round a table. I limped over, they gasped and asked me what what happened, angrily I said 'Rick's pussy boyfriend!' (This was because back in John Lewis' Rick thought he was a great guy and got along with him well haha)

Inside a large indoor pool area, there is an extravagant show being performed with several attractive female divers, all dressed up with large winged costumes, and lots of sparkles, but definitely in just bathing suits underneath the fancy stuff. I sit down next to a glass table, mildly interested in the show, an announcer barely heard in the background. A cardboard box flap pokes me annoyingly in the arm, sort of stuck between my arm and the table. I lift my arm up to free the flap and move the box, just exactly as the announcer asks if there are any volunteers from the audience. He looks right at me as my arm is in the air, and waves me forward.

Panic stricken, I slowly stand up and wave at everyone. Some assistants escort me to the stage near the pool, below the 8 or so attractive divers. I guess I wasn't really paying attention at all. It turns out that there are other volunteers as well, and we are going to take part in some sort of competition against each other with the help of the women above. One volunteer per diver. We are lead up to their platforms with very little instruction as the announcer excites the audience for what's about to happen. The diver I'm standing with is just about my height, and very tan, like she comes from a country where it's just normal to be very tan. Actually, even more beautiful up close. I try not to get too distracted. Our eyes meet, and we smile at each other. Basically everything she's wearing is sparkling at this point.

She informs me that we are doing a trick-dive competition, and I am to go just ahead of her, and support her from below the water, while upside down as she stands on my feet. If she weren't so pretty, I would normally hesitate a bit, but don't even think twice. We get the signal, and I jump off the 100 ft tall platform, face first, and dive deep into the pool. Holding my breath, I feel her land gently on my feet, and dance or something, I can't really see. Then she tugs me up to the surface. Relieved, I take a huge breath at the surface as we swim to the edge of the pool.

Round two is basically the same. Apparently, one team was eliminated that first time, and we are to do that again. This time, my shorts ride up too far for this kind of show, and quickly get everything back inside before exiting the pool. A few more rounds pass like that, with me just thrilled to be with this girl.

Now, standing atop the platform, I notice we're the only team. It is the final challenge. We must do something difficult to win a worthy prize. I don't really know what to do. I'm lucky enough not to die upon impact when I hit the water, let alone do anything fancy. The girl up there with me just tells me to hold my breath for a while, and she'll do the work up top.

We jump, and it seems like I'm falling in slow motion this time. I take a huge breath of air, but realize I was a bit too early, so I let it out fast and take another huge breath immediately before I hit the water. For some reason, I am immediately out of breath, despite the huge breath I just took. It's not that big a deal though, just uncomfortable, and I can push through it for some time. It gets more uncomfortable, but still bearable.

The pressure on my feet from her standing on me is lifted, and I see her dive down next to me. I return right side up, but no longer need to breathe under water. We can talk underwater now as well, but that's just normal. She tells me that we've won, and has a huge smile on her face. She gives me a big hug, and then we both look over at a giant treasure chest that is sinking to the bottom, together with a large ornate crown and a really fancy looking decorative bow. I put the crown on her head and tell her she deserves it because she did all the work. It makes her look even more beautiful.

Picking up the bow, I draw it back to full power and tell her something about it being a really cool bow. Probably endows the user with some sort of power or something like that. A look of terror quickly comes over her face as she reaches out to stop me from dry firing it (wet firing it?), yelling something like it's going to kill me. But too late, I let go of the cord, and the two of us watch the pressure wave float toward the treasure chest. It hits it, and breaks the lock open. That wasn't supposed to be able to happen That treasure chest was magically sealed, and only certain people were to be able to open it. Plus, the bow was cursed, and was supposed to harm the user. I wasn't even aiming at the treasure chest at all, I was more focused on showing off the bow than anything.

Inside this treasure chest, amidst the gold lining, and shiny gold plated walls of the box, all glowing radiantly, is true love. Sweet, I've found true love! I look over at the girl, and kind of doubt it's her. She's not really my type, but what the hell, if it's true love, that's good enough for me. We hug again and look into each others' eyes, still speechless in amazement of what just happened.

Spoiler for Random Intro:

Wandering through gated back yards, jumping over fences, and looking for a bathroom, I find a downstairs apartment with the door wide open. I go inside, and shake the snow off my jacket before going any further and dripping it on the floor. But I shook it right into someone's shoes... That doesn't look so nice, so I leave, abandoning my search for the bathroom. There are an assortment of little beings that are all around me now, and no longer any snow on the ground. A few small children, two cats, and a goat are all in a circle on some green grass. They all appear to be trapped, and in danger if they stay inside this backyard maze of fences. I carry all of them over a fence except one cat. This cat is huge! I try to coax it to walk over on its own, but it is also a lazy cat. So, I pick it up, weighing well over 100 lbs, and carry it over the fence. There is another small animal, maybe a sheep, that also wants to escape. I lift the fence in the air slightly, and crawl underneath, motioning for the sheep to follow. It does, and pushes me out of the way, crawling through swiftly.

On the other side of the fence, I am face to face with a giant bat. At least I think it's a bat. Looking right at me, drooling profusely, a nasty looking orange drool. It has small flexible fangs. It also has a very powerful venom. Not very good. Biting onto my arm, I feel that none of the fangs pierces my flesh, but I don't want to take any chances, so I wrestle it away, pushing its porcelain smooth beak away. Now holding it back by the beak, we stare at each other, both still pushing at the other. The beak is so smooth, I actually rather enjoy touching it. Kind of cold to the touch as well, and very colorful with swirls of reds, browns, and oranges all throughout the beak.



The animal's owner comes by, and pulls him back by the shoulders. She tells me, "He's just hungry, sorry about that" Being sort of like a bat, I assume he eats bugs, so I tell them to hang on for a bit, while I find some food for him inside my house. There are no bugs... I go downstairs and ask my room mate if he has any bugs.

"Of course I do buddy, here ya go." and he hands me a plastic bin. 'Great! Now I can feed this thing.' I dash upstairs, but looking inside the bin I just see a loaded gun, some batteries, loose change, a few lint balls, and random other odds and ends. I take all the bullets out of the gun and toss them separately into the bin, then ditch the gun as well. 'There's gotta be bugs around here somewhere'

I go outside, and find a large group of rather juicy looking bugs on the window sill. They all look dead, but still meaty. I pick one up by the wings, a large green bug, and it starts to wiggle around a bit. 'Not quite dead yet!' so I put it back down on the window's edge. The rest of the bugs all have rigor mortis, so I know they are dead. I pile them all into my left hand and go back over to the bat creature. Somewhat human, but definitely more animal than person. I hold out my hand and he ravenously slurps them into his beak and chews them for a bit before swallowing them, followed by more drool around the edges of his beak. Quite gross.

Seeing where I got the bugs from, he walks over and looks for more. Seeing the one I left behind because it was still alive, he goes in to eat it. I pray that the bug either is spared death, or dies well, whatever is meant to be... To my surprise, the previously lifeless but twitching bug now flies off, just out of reach of the bat creature, then shoots rapidly into the sky at what I assume is maximum bug speed.

I help the bat-man (more bat than man) find more dead bugs to eat. Mostly dead moths that are stuck to loose boards on the side of the house, or in abandoned spider webs. The creature eats more of the wood than the bugs, just chewing on it, as he holds it like an ear of corn.

Walking back to the front yard, his friend/caretaker person tells him it costs too much to feed him and he has to make some money himself if this is going to work. Bat-guy sits down on a bench looking rather dejected, as he stares down at his feet with his hands in his lap. I go up to him, pat him on the back and encourage him, "You'll be able to do something to make money, don't worry."

He looks up to me as if saying, "Like what?" but with just his eyes.

I answer, "You could always give massages to people" and we both start laughing. I see a smile return to his beak and hope in his eyes. "I didn't know you could understand me" I say, amidst more laughter, just thinking about this bat-guy giving people massages... He nods understandingly.
