    1. Train Climbing and A Station of Light

      by , 09-12-2011 at 09:38 PM (The Imaginarium)
      I’m on a train, but it’s the outside of a freight train. Either I had this dream another night, or I had it earlier this night. There were others with me on the outside, incl. (I think) Homer and Marge Simpson. We’re just powering through country in a wide, gravelled, multi-track rail path. At one point, Homer jumps off and into a bin (green recycle, and the lid closes on him). I tell Marge to do the same.
      I make my way along the train to the front – the engine seemed to be at the back. I don’t remember feeling wind, or fear for that matter. As I get there, someone cries “look out” and a brace myself for another tunnel (from earlier in the dream?). Actually it’s a very small looking station, and we stop at it. I remember seeing the orange, hanging board (what for?) past the traffic lights and trying not to hit it when we stop.



      As I get off the train, I fall and get entwined with a black/yellow striped pole. I don’t know where it came from or what it was for. Someone I knew helped me out of it. As I was leaving the platform, I saw an old friend cross in front of the entrance in official rail uniform. I saw another old friend and female looking down the tunnel so I veered off right. Ticket office? I may have asked where the toilet was, then went to the right passageway, maybe to the toilet. I came back and Lily (from HIMYM) was at another counter sorting out ‘papers’ for this other girl e.g. Passport, driver’s license, ID. I went somewhere and come out on the roof where she was standing, facing away from me.



      She was maybe wearing a fishing hat and some form of baggy dark trousers. Over them she had some sort of green and yellow baggy short shorts and her top was possibly one of those tank tops with straps. The view looked Tuscan, or Renaissance, partly reminiscent of Dubrovnik, but with towers and such. She turned round and maybe smiled at me. Not sure when, but probably at office with Lily: There was a flash when I said something about her dancing. It was all blue and monochrome – high angle, tight cropping – she may have been wearing aviators, and she was dancing. Then cut back to the rest of the dream, whatever it was.

    3. LD: Witnessing the End of the World

      by , 09-12-2011 at 05:07 PM
      11-08-06

      I just awoke from doing the Tasks of the Month!

      It was at the end of a super long dream.

      Dream:

      I remember being at a gym with my sister and one of her friends. I had never gone to this gym, so I wasn't sure what all the machines did. But I got on them anyway and tried to be creative.

      Next thing I remember is that they are interviewing someone and I hear him on the speakers. It is another old friend of mine R.S. that I haven't seen since high school and that I have lost touch with. I look at him from across the room. We make eye contact. He smiles at me. I hurry across the room so I can see him.

      But before I can get to him I bump into E, who is the friend I stayed with in LA. He pulled at my arm and took me aside. He looked very handsome. I decide to just hug him. He them tells me something important. But I don't remember.

      The dream transitions again and I am what I first thought was a dentist office. I later realize that it is a mental institition and that I am being held--against my will, if needs be. I thought, "Screw this. I can't stay here."

      And I took off flying over everyones' heads then out the door in back. I flew over the grassy area and then some trees before I realize that I have to go back.

      I remembered that E was still there. I had to get him out. And then I remembered...."The Book". We had to get The Book out with us. In it were all the secrets that I had...secrets like Why I could fly.... There was no choice. I had to go back.

      I went in the back doors past my friend BC (who had helped me a lot last week in real life). He was working there but doesn't try to stop me. I see E, and on the closest desk is The Book. I grab the book and shout at E to follow me. He runs out the door, but as he sees me flying, he takes off flying, too. And in a minute he is ahead of me. I try to catch up. I look below us and I see that there is a big group of children following us. C is with them. Suddenly I'm so low that they are almost able to grab my feet. I know that they are not there to hurt us, but I worry that they will slow us down. We really need to get away. I tell myself that I have the power to fly higher and faster. It works a bit.

      Next thing I remember is that we went into some sort of building, maybe a library. I run across to the far side with E. There is a lady standing in front of us. I am sure she is there to capure us and take us in. But then she asks if she could help us. I look at her, and say, "What we really need is to take this off." I grab a wooden grate that is covering a slit on an outside wall. She seems surprised, but I don't wait to see what she will do. I squeeze though, so does E and then we fly again.

      But now we are close to the tops of these mountains. There are trees with beautiful fall leaves, mostly yellow in color (aspen?).

      I look over and suddenly see a group of young people. I say to myself, "These are my old friends from high school". But they weren't. They were people I know now from my current life. Most were kids.

      I don't know why that was the thing, after all the other crazy things--but that triggered lucidity.

      I landed by the kids. I told myself that I would hang on to this dream no matter what. There were some important things I needed to try. Amazingly it all stayed clear.. I looked over and saw S and K. I decided to ask them the Simple Task of the Month.

      "Am I dreaming?" I asked K.

      "Yeah you are, but it's not how I thought it would be."

      "Am I dreaming?" I asked S.

      Yeah, but it's not what I thought it would look like."

      I went over to a group of younger kids.

      "Am I dreaming?"

      Their responses were very typical of little children.

      They all responded with "Yeah, but...." And each of there ending part of the response was something really silly that didn't make sense. And each kids was getting sillier and sillier to outdo the kid before him.

      I wish I remembered more of the responses. They were things to the affect of "Yeah, but I got to go to Disneyland last week." Or "Yeah, but I have a loose tooth." Irrelevant stuff.

      But I was surprised, though, that they all said "yes". I wasn't sure if it would be "yes" or "no".


      Then I remembered the second Task of the Month--to witness the End of the World.

      I looked around and found another adult..someone else I know from LV. I tell him, "In a few minutes it will be the end of the world. We need to try to keep the kids safe." I think I was saying the last part so that Dream Character didn't to anything that would stop me from finishing the dream as I needed to do.

      We kept the kids together on that high spot on the mountain. Then the other adult and I got in the car and drove down a road until we could see off the edge and down to the rest of the world.

      At first I saw volcanos erupting. Smoke and ash filled the sky. The I saw huge floods come in and swallow up the city before me. I thought, "They are all gone...."

      We drove again. I remember seeing all these wet kittens in the road just standing there trembling.

      That really got to me. I started to cry. What had I done.....?

      Then I woke up.

    4. Fragment

      by , 09-12-2011 at 03:04 PM
      I know that the setting was in an underground cave. All that I can remember is that there were a few lights strewn across some underground highway and that there were these portables off to the side. I was near a portable when I pulled out a book describing how to have a lucid dream and which technique worked best for the author of the book. At the top of the text on both pages, drawings of animals and plants filled the space. Though, I doubt they had any real significance.

      Well, it's time to start focusing on dreams once again.
    5. Animal Garden

      by , 09-12-2011 at 10:52 AM
      This dream was set in what I think was supposed to be my grandparent's old garden of their old house. The lay-out was generally the same. I entered from the backdoor on the far right of the garden. In front of the door I saw the path leading left around a mounted flower bed. The path lead to stairs which, in turn, lead to the rest of the garden.

      In the dream it was the middle of the night. The only other person there was my friend Fred. He was over by the stairs whereas I didn't move much from the backdoor. There were no other people. There were only animals. A lot of animals. The garden was literally packed with them. On the mounted flower bed before me were what could only be described as giant rabbits.

      The rabbits were by far the biggest of the animals. There were also lots of flying creatures such as bats and a lot of insects. Nearer Fred, along with the giant rabbits, were a lot rat-sized creatures which I don't think exist in the real world. They reminded me of scorpions but without the stinger or pincers. They looked to be mammals by the looks of them.

      Fred and I spoke about how it was weird that in the day, this garden is completely void of animals but at night it's literally packed! Fred reached out and stroked a giant rabbit, which to my surprise, started growling at him like a dog.
    6. Kayako

      by , 09-12-2011 at 10:34 AM
      I had a dream that Kayako, girl from the grudge, who was presumed to be gone for good, was seen in a reflection and had thus started hauting and killing.

      I was in a house which was just two doors down from mine.It was grey and bland - there was no real life in the way the house was presented. There were two significant rooms in this dream. They were both big living rooms. One was upstairs and had a TV in the corner. There was also one downstairs which had a huge table in the centre.

      There were people in the house. There was someone at the table downstairs. There were 3-4 people upstairs, one of which was pregnant, who was sat at an armchair across from the television. I could see Kayako in the TV set, which was off. When she attacked, she came out of the pregnant woman's mouth in a process which turned the woman's face grey and evil.

      I moved downstairs to leave the house. There was a body on the floor which I forced myself not to look at, remembering the way the woman's face changed upstairs.

      Thinking I had escaped, I was now outside a massive building with huge windows all around it. I looked into the dark window and saw the frain reflection of Kayako stood behind me.
    7. 30th Shared dreaming attempt

      by , 09-12-2011 at 09:24 AM (International Oneironaut Shared Dreaming Journal)
      GMT+2

      12-9-11 from 2:00 - 7:00 8:00 - 10:00

      Remember some things. I was browsing this forum and there was a lot of activity by Omnis Dei. Something tells me he was on acid yesterday? Because his name shifted from Omnis Dei to Lysergic. Let me know. I'm having prophetic dreams lately. Fact that he gave me a "like" on my thread while i was sleeping makes it more puzzling.
      Also, i didn't know what the word lysergic means before this dream . i had to look it up.

      Dreamed of logging in on msn and having a message in the "Type a message for ur friends" bar. But i don't remember what it was.

      I dreamed that this girl i know. Who i saw at a club yesterday. She invited me to her home a few miles from here. I told her i don't know where she lives. She said, you do. And i remembered i brought her home once. I do know where she lives. I think i accepted. Had to fix my bike first tho, i had a flat dream tire. I think i recall riding outside her house trying to find the place. Nothing more.
    8. My First Dream Interpretation.

      by , 09-12-2011 at 07:12 AM (Choi's Journey of the Conscious Mind)
      [COLOR="red"]Lucid[/COLOR]
      [COLOR="blue"]Dream[/COLOR]
      [COLOR="silver"]Thoughts[/COLOR]
      [COLOR="lightblue"]Hypnagogic[/COLOR]

      [COLOR="silver"]This time I woke up sometime in the middle of the night. I didn't wanted to move so I didn't watched the time.[/COLOR]

      [COLOR="blue"]My dreams have been so vivid nowadays, it almost feels like I am aware of my subconscious actions.
      For example I would never ever think of killing a man, but I had a dream about stabbing a man with a knife, and I was aware of it. It feels like I experience another persons life. But I am aware of what I am doing, although I don't know it's a dream.
      One simple reality check could solve everything... Anyway this dream I were on a bus and it seems like this was a schoolbus.
      I see two hot girls smiling at me. They giggle, then one of them puts her hand on my lap! In the dream I welcomed that hand. But then the bus stopped and my dream personality changed and the environment changed. I stepped out of the bus and we were now on a beach. Two girls from my real school were there. I was only wearing underwear and was going to change to swimming shorts, but I was embarrassed to change infront of them. Then I just thought "Screw it" And I just changed.
      Then I was going to impress everyone by jumping into the cold water frst. So I took pace and dived into the water.
      In the water I had no control at all. The stram took me farther and farther away from the beach until I couldn't see it anymore.[/COLOR]

      [COLOR="silver"]Then I woke up. I believe in Sigmund Freuds theory that we dream about stuff that we are not allowed to think of in the real life. But even in the dream we are ashamed so it disguise itself with symbols.
      If I was going to interpret this dream it's easy. The first dream I associate with sex...
      The second I associate with a girl I like and how embarrassed I am when I am with her.
      Anyway I am going to start affirming that I will do a reality check before I fall asleep and these vivid dreams might become a lucid one.[/COLOR]

    9. Birthday, Sadness, and the Wishing machine

      by , 09-12-2011 at 02:08 AM
      This dream has been very random and was very long, but I remember most of it.

      I started at my house, we were playing a complicated game of goldfish with holographic cards that had pictures of horses on them. My house is basically a big shed with tools everywhere (pretty much exactly like my real house) and has a small kind of apartment complex in it. My friend wanted to show me something, so I followed him into my house. When I walk in, I notice everyone is standing around looking at me with smiles. I see the balloons everywhere and then I realize: it's my birthday . They sing happy birthday to me and tell me I have to find the gift myself and that only one person in that room new it's location. I start looking around until I notice a stage in the back of the room (was never there before) and I see a pile of dirty clothes on it (from my room in my real house). Something told me that my gift was in that pile, so I started digging. I found what appeared to be a shiny white ball. They didn't tell me what it was so I told them thanks in a confused manner. I started thanking everyone and then sat down. My aunt came to me and started telling me congratulations, but when I looked, she had tears all over her face and she was trying to keep a fake smile. I asked if she was ok, but she just walked away . Then my cousin walked up to me, also crying, and congratulates me and walks away too. Confused, I walk to my mom and asked why everyone was crying. She said that the end was near and people were coming to take me away. Then it hit me; this ball was a wishing machine .
      I quickly thought of someplace I wanted to go to. I started rapidly turning in circles for about a minute or two until everything slowly started turning from my house to snowy mountains and ski lodges. Then, I fell in the snow. I quickly got on my feet and looked around. Snow was everywhere. There was a ski lodge to my right, a chair lift behind me (along with a very steep drop off), and some kid from my school appeared to my right in ski gear. "It's not as easy as it looks is it?" He said. I walked up to him and said, "How does this thing work exactly?" "Just think of any place you want to go to, or whatever you want, no matter how bizarre, and wait a minute. You will then rapidly spin in circles until you appear at the place you imagined with the thing you wanted. I said "show me." He held my hand and we started spinning again (this will happen several times). Eventually, we appeared in the middle of a valley with a shallow river. "Where did you bring us?" "Pennsylvania", he said. I looked around to see tourist and other people staring at me. I kinda smiled at them and quickly thought of another place. I turned in circles again, and appeared at a gas station.
      "Why would I think of this place?" I looked behind me to see a highway, but instead saw the ocean with a dock on it. On that dock was a white corvette. White, the color of the wishing machine. Two people walked up to me. I've never seen them in my life though. One was a tall, curly haired girl with freckles and a averaged size man with orange hair, a orange beard, white shirt and blue jeans. "We gotta go", the guy said. Confused, I looked behind him to see a crowd of people frantically running after us. "They're after the wishing machine", I said. Then, we ran .
      We all started running through random buildings that appeared to be in, or what I thought was Las Vegas. We ran into a building that had pink walls and quickly looked around for an exit. I found an exit and ran out, but it wasn't an exit. It lead to a novelty gift shop. We kept running through the store, out onto a sidewalk. I looked around to see that we were in Galveston. We ran around the corner (sorry, lots of running) and kept running. We found some trees and thought that they would lead to somewhere else, but instead, they lead us to where the gas station that we started at was. We decided to get in the car and try to find a way to make the wishing machine to work, but it was too heavy to turn in circles. It was too late by then. The crowd of people ran to the car and shoved us into the ocean. Now, we can turn.
      It took several minutes, and while we were thinking of some resort to go to, I decided to think of turning this car into something else, like a hover car. When we teleported, the strangers were on the beach while I was in the air on what I thought would be a hover car, but was instead a bicycle with a huge square seat big enough to hold us. I was laughing and riding around in the air and over the water . The orange hair guy told me to get down, but I just ignored him and dove into the water. Then, I suddenly disappeared and was looking through first person point of view.
      We suddenly teleported to the gas station again, where the strangers started walking through the streets, making sure it was safe. A hobo jumped up and yelled "there back, get them!" They ran at the strangers and captured them. They were then transported to a prison to be tortured to death. It was awful to watch . Then, I woke up.
      A lot of things happened in that dream that I don't remember, but this is what I do recall dreaming about. It gave me a headache.

    10. I know it was there....

      by , 09-11-2011 at 10:42 PM
      I went to bed last night at 11:30, and I woke up this morning at 2:00 AM. I just KNOW that I had been dreaming, which is really weird, because that's way to early for me to be dreaming. The REM part of my sleep-cycle takes four hours at least to really get working, yet I had been dreaming.
      Conclusion: I had a dream in layer 1, 2, or 3 of my sleep cycle.
      An odd occurrence, indeed.
    11. Golf, lizards, creating weather and becoming lucid.

      by , 09-11-2011 at 02:24 PM
      I started off on a golf course with my friend, we were playing golf against some pro's and i was joking around saying "oh im brilliant at this hockey game" to see the reaction of the golfer, he squared up to me and said "what?" i said "oh i'm sorry sir i meant golf you see"

      We then started to play and my first shot i was using some big club of some sort i don't really know and i smashed the ball and it flew and landed right near the hole.
      My friend then went "can i putt it?" "sure" i said.
      He didn't use a putter he used the same club as i did, before i could say anything he'd hit it into some cove with the sea flushing through it.

      I went inside and ran to the back of this cove which was oddly quite well lit, it was a large cave ish sort of thing with rocks mainly covering the floor and streams of water from the sea, as i turned around i noticed a lizard coming in but it was wierd, it wasn't reptilian yet it walked sort of like a komodo dragon, it had slimy amphibian skin which was dark green, rather like a frog and it had a tail like a juvenile frog.
      It's head was wider than the rest of its body but had the same sort of flat feature to it, it opened it's large jaws to bear oddly placed teeth at different areas of the mouth whether they were the fiorst row or the back row but along the rows there were multiple teeth missing. The gums of its mouth were bright pink but not flushed with blood and it had no toungue either.

      Suddenly a massive lizard came running through the door, must have beenb 7 - 8 feet long, it ran up to me and my friend shouted "you have to bow to it" i tried to bow and it put its jaws around my head and bit down, wierdly i was back in the same position i was in a few seconds earlier, much like a checkpoint.
      This time however i grabbed a nearby rock and slammed it down on the lizards head and made a break for it.



      When we got outside we were on the street and it was night time, the yellow emitting from the street lamps reflected on the environment and myself.
      Another lizard was there so this time i picked up a fire extinquisher and sprayed it, it was the extinguisher with CO2 in because of the metal ejector but oddly when the CO2 hit the lizard it turned to a foamy substance, but then i realised it was snow, so i said "lets make it snow!!"
      I sprayed the whole street with the stuff and before i knew it, i was getting cold. I fell back into the snow and began to make a snow angel, it was cold, but didnt melt.

      I walked down the street and ran and slid on my feet along the large ice patches.

      This - is when i realised i was dreaming, not through any reality check but instead through the awareness technique. I needed to solidify myself within the dream so i looked down at my hands and began to inspect them, first looking at my palms which were still yellow from the emitting street lamp, the creases on my hands were identical, as if my mind just knew exactly what they looked like, i turn my hands over to look closesly at the tiny blonde hairs and the pores on the top of my hands, i then said "stay lucid - solidify me in this lucid dream" i felt a rush of excitement in my stomach and i calmed it. I then said "clarity!" and the whole world became extremely clear yet i still was looking down at my hands, i could feel myself lifting from the dream, possibly from the excitement.

      I knew i wasn't going to be able to regain this control so there was one technique i finally tried to use, i closed my eyes and fell backwards and then kept my body extremely still waiting for SP.
      I knew i was awake, or thought i was, with SP i began looking at HI with my eyes closed, i felt myself sort of spinning, suddenly my arm had a spasm and i knew i had come out of SP. i sat up in my bed.


      I then really woke up from my false awakening.
    12. Over Curvature of Space Time in L Block

      by , 09-11-2011 at 07:27 AM
      10 Sep 2011

      I was standing talking to the G Block group who were occupying our territory for some reason. They got angry and tried to stop me from leaving but my anger was so much that not only did I beat up M.T. who was trying to hold me is a sleeper hold, but I also stole a packet of pretzels and, having asserted my dominance, they let me keep it so I ate a few and then threw it back to them. On leaving the back fields I entered L Block from the Eastern end and became aware of something called the 'red blue zone'. There had previously been a 'red zone' and a 'blue zone' in the school and they had been exciting. Little did I know that I was already tangled up in it. I looked down corridors, into class rooms and stair wells and noticed various red and blue lights. The internal layout was all wrong. There was some incorrect and dangerous space time curvature going on and I was determined to get to the bottom of it. I came across year nine kids all wearing blue vests and holding guns. They fired at a few other year nine kids in red vests who fell. I saw Mrs T (music) come round a corner. She looked exhausted and told them to stop firing. Some of the girls had already complained that the game was evil and reminded them of what was going on in South Africa. Anyway I tried to talk to Mrs T but she told me to get out of there as quickly as I could. The blue and red light everywhere was starting to creep me out a little and I would have obliged only I now knew that the way was blocked, or rather twisted in such a way that all paths lead back to the same place or became unreasonable dead ends. Having told her that I could not get out she looked dismayed. She and the year nines had been stuck down here for a while and they did not have long left to get out. We searched every path but they kept changing and we drew a blank. There was no way out. Then it dawned upon me. We were trying to go up to get out of this underground maze but perhaps if we wanted to go up, the best path to choose would be down. We picked a downward staircase at random though Mrs T had little hope. We descended into another chamber and another chamber again and found that we could go no lower but there was a ladder in the middle of the room leading up. We looked up and there was daylight. We climbed the ladder and found our way out into the lawn between K and L blocks. I asked Mrs T to tell me everything she knew about the 'red blue zone' and she obliged. She knew everything about it except what had gone wrong, after all, she designed it... It was a maze which she had built in the school. She had used a special space time curve to make the passages confusing. The purpose was to run a team based laser skirmish type game for the year nines. What she could not figure was why the curvature kept changing such that noone could escape since the layout changed with the curvature and could not be fully explored. I asked if there was any harm in just leaving it the way it was but she said that the curvature was programmed to fade in twenty minutes and that anyone or anything left in the zone would simply be zapped out of existence. Given enough time it would be theoretically possible to map the curvature itself and predict an escape route in four dimensions but we did not have time so I began to think laterally. I asked Mrs T if she was certain that she had designed it and she said that she was. I urged her to to reconsider as it was often difficult to be sure that you had not been influenced by someone or something else but she again claimed her own guilt so I took a different tack. I asked when she had first come up with the idea and she referenced a day not very long ago. This gave me suspicions as to how quickly the technology had been developed so I asked at what point did she design the curvature and she answered that she had come up with it on the same day. My opinion was that she was either an idiot savant or she had been influenced by someone or something which had already worked it all out. I quickly modelled what I believed the curvature to be on some electromagnetic curvature modelling thing and asked her if it was correct. She was surprised and asked how I knew. I replied "lucky guess". Two problems existed with the curve I had mapped in wire like mesh things in my hands. The first problem was that the curve was identical to the natural curvatue of of time space within her brain on the day she designed it. This meant that the whole system was linked to a time before it had been designed and caused a paradox. It could not exist. The other problem was a more practical problem. The curvature of time was far too strong for the curvature of space given. The result of this was an ever changing maze of school passages. Still having just under twenty minutes to save the vast majority of year nine, Mrs T determined to reenter the zone and try to rescue them. I urged her not to, the chances of her escaping again were next to impossible but she had a duty of care so I told her to take a long string and tie it around something outside the zone such that on unwinding it would mark a path back to the entry. I hoped that this would work. I also advised her to use the method of heading down to the deepest point in an emergency though who could tell if this logic still applied. I went down into the zone with her, just a few steps and all of the claustrophobic fear returned to me instantly. I had just gone around a corner, out of sight of the entry to let her through a second door. I was supposed to hold it open for some reason though the string would have done a reasonable job of this itself. I was terrified that the zone would trick me again and that the door just out of sight around the corner which was supposed to lead to the exit would lead me somewhere else deep in the zone. I walked around the corner and back into the daylight of the school. I had started to realise that it was only a dream but that I should not wake up as these people might need my help. I was still taking it too seriously to become properly lucid but if someone had asked me if I was dreaming I would have said 'yes' most probably. I think this was because I was beginning to wake up. I woke up and that was that.

      BiscuitHappyz's Dream

      I seem to be having a recall dry spell, and I do not have a clue why that could be. Hopefully I find out and/or recover from it soon. But I did manage to remember one fragment from last night;

      I was lying in my bed, on my back, with my current book, The Black Lung Captain, propped up on my chest. My black reading lamp, perched on the arch of the end of my bed behind me, lit the room with a warm, yellow light. I was paying little attention to the other details of my room, as I was actually reading the book.

      The text was strangely coherent, yet all the the things the booked described contradicted what it described earlier. It was as though I were reading the dream.

      The only thing I remember reading clearly was close the bottom of the left page of the book;

      'Frey moved into the engine room and shoved Matt aside.'

      Of course this make no sense out of context, so in context, that would be;

      'Frey, the impolite captain, moved into his ship's engine room, and shoved Matt, the assistant engineer that is not actually in the book but instead my mind put there, into a pipe, possibly hurting his spine.'

      It is also notable that Matt is the name of a character in another series of books much like the Black Lung Captain.

      That's all I remember. Interesting, methinks.

    15. Singin' and Dancin' 'Til the Kitchen is Gone!

      by , 09-10-2011 at 07:48 PM
      At the beginning of the dream, my parents announced we were going to some event. It was nighttime, and I decided to watch an old movie. Then I realized it was the director's cut, so I stopped watching it. I went to the kitchen when all of a sudden, the event began inside the house. A bunch of people were there. I think there were maybe 300 or so. And the kitchen was gone too. And it was daytime now. And there was singing and dancing.

      During the event, I became enemies (not friends) with a girl. I don't know what happened, but we didn't like each other that much.

      At the end of the dream, the both of us got caught up in some flying machine that looked like it was flown by Orville and Wilbur. Then the plane was up in the air and the girl was thrown into peril. I had to save her. So I was trying my hardest, and then the dream was over.

      No lucid dreams yet. Keep trying. Keep trying.
