memorable

It all started out in a desert at dusk. The sky was an dark orange color from all the dust that was lingering in the air. I was talking with my dad when an old friend of mine walked across and asked me what rubber-bands I wore for my braces. I responded telling her that I used to wear rubber-bands from a green package, but moved onto wearing them from a blue package. She then proceeded on her way and I resumed talking with my dad.

The dream plot changed when a guy from a balcony not too far from me said that a gang had come into town and kidnapped children. My dad had disappeared on me so I followed some soldiers with weird, futuristic armor that were going to fight the gang. We all got into a car and drove on a curving road perched on a cliff when we saw the gang was putting kids into a van. I remember them wearing a brightly colored jackets and holding guns and a weird machine at the apex of the curve. The soldiers got out of the car and started firing at the gangs while simultaneously rescuing the children. Not only did the soldiers shoot at the gang, but they manipulated the environment around them to give them the advantage. They eventually pushed the gang back to some tree before the gang got the upper hand and made their escape. The soldiers then returned to their car and drive off. I don't know what exactly happened, but I kinda faded out of existence and the dream continued more like a movie.

Time passed and it was now nighttime. The soldiers drove back to where to they fought the gang and found them once again. In the fight, I remember them turning the ground into lava trapping some gang members in their tracks and shooting them. This time, the soldiers had won, but on of the main soldiers was shot and injured and the commander carried him to that weird machine at the apex of the curve. A blue sack enveloped the wounded soldier and the commander spotted someone at the end of the road. The person waved and walked towards him. This part was strange too because it was like a cinematic scene in a movie. The "camera" zoomed out showing them both from a 3rd person view and the commander talked about how manipulating nature would ruin it's behavior. The view then changed to a scene of a tree's that leaves were falling and a pond with ripples. He then elaborated more on his idea and the tree's leaves stopped falling and the pond became still and the camera then fell back onto him. The person nodded and left.

Everything kinda gets foggy after that, but I do remember seeing a girl floating with her arms thrust downward inside a circular object that emitted a soft blue light on her. I said to myself that I should remember drawing the knees to better my drawing skills or something like that.

Well, overall I am glad that i am remembering more and more of my dreams, so it does show that I am progressing in both length and detail!

non dream - lucid - non lucid

After the last rather special dream, I decided to WBTB and attempt a WILD the next night.
I really wanted to see Yuya again, I kept thinking about her when I went to bed.

________

The WBTB alarm goes off and I try to WILD thinking about Yuya.
Unfortunately I fall asleep...

... I'm walking... just walking... aimlessly.
There is no path, there is no ground, I'm just walking.
I get a sudden burst of awareness and my vision sharpens.
Clouds turn into objects and I can see that I am on Teraluna.
I have a hard time focusing on my surroundings, I zone in and out a few times until I manage
to stabilize the dream.

I'm talking to Yuya. She know's im stressed in waking life, so she made me special tea that will help me relax.
When I drink it, it "tastes relaxing".
I talk to Yuya about my last dream, about hovering through a galaxy full of pulsating stars...

"I want to show you something... come here..."

She sits on the ground and makes me a sign to sit in front of her.
As I sit down I feel very light headed, but also very relaxed, probably because of the tea.
Yuya takes a meditative pose and I mimic it.
I'm sitting right in front of her, facing her.
We both close our eyes and start linking our thoughts.

"Let go of your thoughts... let go of everything... I will guide you..."

Her thoughts become mine and my thoughts become hers.
Our consciousness start merging together.
With Yuya's help, I manage to free my mind of all thoughts and let go of all the muscles in my body.
My dream body is slowly falling into a state of perfect calm, like it is turning itself off.

I can feel Yuya's body touching mine, but I know we're sitting apart from each other.
Yet it feels like we are embracing each other.
After some time I realize that it is our minds that are embracing, not our bodies.
I feel my body completely turning off, it is slowly letting go of my "spirit" (I call it spirit, I don't know what else to call it... my mind? my consciousness? my soul?)
As my body turns off I completely loose perception not only of my surroundings but also of my emotions...

... I can see again, but it feels different from seeing. I am now a small cloud of pulsating energy, and so is Yuya.
I decide to call this form "spirit".
Yuya is very pure and blue, there are fine crystalline strings emitting from her center.
I am green and orange a complex, complicated, "worried" but gentle mix of colors.
My strings move around more nervously than her's.
Our spirits are touching, and we start moving into a direction.

I start seeing an infinite amount of other spirits, forming a spiral galaxy of energy.
I see many kinds of spirits. The spirit of a small bush of grass, the spirit of a tree, the spirit of a bird, and the spirits of many other beings.
They are all beautiful in their own way.
I understand that what I am seeing is the essence of life, it is what drives us, it is why we live...
We keep floating along some sort of path, our spirits are linked, we decide directions as one.

After some time our spirits detach, and I feel my dream body forming around me again.
I open my eyes and I am sitting on a huge green leaf. I am very small, and the plant the leaf belongs to is very big, it can easily carry my weight.
Yuya appears next to me, smiling like she always does.
I don't ask her any questions because there are none to ask.
What I saw is beyond my level of understanding, yet because our consciousness was merged, I caught a glimpse of it.

I am still in an extremely relaxed state and I don't feel like talking or doing anything at all for that matter.
We just sit on this leaf, enjoying the feeling of not thinking at all...


Notes:
I am not a spiritual person, but I do believe that we all have some sort of spirit or soul, depending on what you want to call it.
It doesn't make sense to me that our consciousness consists of only a neural network.
I'm not sure where those extremely relaxing dreams are coming from.
Maybe I'm longing for this relaxed state because I am stressed in waking life?

non dream - lucid - non lucid

I'm not sure sure at which point I started dreaming, or if I dreamed all of it, and when exactly I was lucid.
So I'll go ahead and mark things with colors like I experienced them.
In other words if I thought I was awake I'll mark it as if I was, even though I don't really know.
I have never taken any mind altering drugs, I wonder if it's anything like this...

_______

I wake up in bed... I still feel very tired.
The room is very dark and I lately leave the shutters just slightly open so I can see if it's already day when I wake up.
I assume it's still night and I want to continue sleeping.
I notice I haven't moved yet and I don't seem to sense my body.
The thought of WILD'ing crosses my mind.
It's been quite some time since I've attempted to WILD, so why not.

Right as I try to relax, the little colors I see become somewhat bright and start changing.
This was fast? I never get HI this fast, this is weird.
I realize I'm floating over my bed. Am I already dreaming?
Was I having a false awakening? I never get visuals like this when I'm dreaming though.
As my room lights up I realize that I am floating in some sort of tunnel. The room is no longer there.
I'm gently descending this tunnel of colorful clouds and lights.
I suppose I'm actually falling, but I'm falling so slowly that I'm not worried.
I actually enjoy it quite a bit, it's very relaxing.

I can hear ambient music. (something like this)


I try to focus on a color cloud. It is clearly changing it's color all the time, but I can't actually see it changing.
It changes colors right in front of my eyes, but I don't see the change, I only realize it has changed.
This has me perplexed for quite some time. Am I really dreaming? or can you actually have HI this strong?

After some time I am floating in my room again, except it's lit now. The spotlights in my room are on but they
have different colored bulbs in them.
Somehow my room looks much bigger than it is in waking life, but somehow everything is still the same size.
I don't understand how this is possible and hover over to my desk.

I take a can of coke from it because I want to know what it tastes like.
But the can is very weird. It seems way too small, but upon closer investigation it isn't.
I cannot tell if it's a normal size or a tiny can. I can't understand why I cannot distinguish this.
I wonder if this is what tripping feels like? A friend once told me he couldn't tell sizes apart when he was doing some sort of drug.

The lid of my laptop opens up by itself and it goes out of standby.
I am presented with the Visual Studio project I was working on last night.
I was working on a physics engine and needed to add support for air resistance into it, but I was too tired and went to sleep.
I don't understand why this was so hard...

I go to wikipedia and copy paste the equation for drag straight into my code.
The equation appears and the program starts on my second monitor.
I can see the numbers in the equation changing as stuff moves around in the game.
I need to test if it feels realistic, so naturally, I climb into my monitor to see if the falling physics are correct.

I'm falling down yet again, I'm in the game, but I can still see the monitor with the equation as well.
I see both things at the same time.
Whilst I am falling with my first body, I correct an error in the formula with my second body which is still in front of the pc.
I feel the corrections take effect with my in-game body and understand that everything is correct now.

I hit some key that does something and my bodies merge again and I'm back in my room.
The color clouds are back, but I can still see my bed.
But I can't see myself in it which surprises me. I was assuming to find myself sleeping in it.
I go closer and see a pulsating light where I'm supposed to be.
It's beautiful. I go closer and it turns into a galaxy.

I am now floating through this galaxy of colorful stars. I am relaxed... I feel at peace...

I was about to get on some weird ride that was starwars related. I noticed everyone around me were old friends of mine, from Jr. High...heck they even looked like 12 and 13 year old versions of themselves. The ride connected to the track that was over our heads so our feet would be dangling, and there was a small glass screen in front of us. There was an announcer saying we had to destroy all of the enemies, and then slowly the view increased, and it was like full screen.

After that I found myself on the school bus with those same kids. I sorta knew I was lucid, but I was just playing along. I asked Kim was she going on the next upcoming field trip, and she said no.

I remember something else where I was in a movie theater, and smoke kept rising up. I looked down and someone had left their ash tray there. I kicked it out of the way, and one of the dc's got a little upset (I don't know when this happened....maybe at the begining)

I found myself on the roof of a mansion. Two stories down there was a pool that was on fire. I thought to myself "my brain would never give me something that I couldn't handle". I jumped down and that actually solidified my lucidity, because the scene changes kept making me snap out of it. I saw my friend J at the pool, and said "oh man, do I have to fight you"? He had his shirt off, and was looking jacked up. He said "no, you did that in 01, I got someone else for you". This woman came out of no where. Pool was looking normal again, as she approached, ready to fight. "I have to fight her?", "yes". I got into a southpaw stance, and waited on her. She threw her right hand, and I grabbed it with my left cushioning the blow as it hit me in the stomach. At the same time, my right cross rocked her head. She did the same thing, and so did I. I knew I was hurting her more than she was hurting me, so I started throwing combos with every blow, and just absorbing her body blow. I was starting to get tired, and she did this thing....it almost looked like she was downloading something off the matrix.

She told me she got enough information she needed to fight me, and pretty much went into overdrive. My punches didn't have as much effect, but I didn't let her land a single one after that. I switched up my entire style, and became more offensive. After a few combos, it was obvious that they were having effect again, and the dream ended.

NOTE: Most events in this dream probably happened because I overwatched Ranma 1/2 the anime show.

I find myself in my apartment. It was basically normal, but a few parts were rearranged. It seemed like an average day, except for a few details. There was some dude who made himself a very tall throne in my living room. Also, I couldn't stand the loud noises coming from the second floor of my apartment. What the fuck was going on? So, I decide to end the madness. I walk up to the top of the throne. Then, I grab the kid on top, and throw him down the stairs. Then, I jump over onto my apartment's real stairs. Then, I tip over the throne. It falls over and smashes down with a loud crash. With my pride, I walk upstairs to end the other disturbance. I come upstairs to find kids my age running around. It appears that they're chasing someone. I scan the mob of teens to see who's being chased. He just looks like a regular kid. And he's...holding shampoo? Why the fuck are they fighting over some damn shampoo?! I stand in front of the mob and the kid rushes away into the bathroom and locks the door. I ask what the hell they're fighting over shampoo for. They tell me that the shampoo can turn a man into a woman for thirty seconds. I pause. Then, we all try to bash down the door. We finally break in after a few tries. The kid tells us the shampoo has been all used up. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!! All of us begin to beat the shit out of the kid, then I brew up an idea. I stop, and run over to the supply cabinet. There, I find a full shampoo bottle...and it's the "miracle" shampoo. I announce that I found it...and we're gonna share it. So, we all get into a running shower...weird. I decide since I found it, I get to go first. I squeeze a little shampoo from the bottle. I start to mix into my hair. All of a sudden...I'm...I'm a...girl! Holy shit it worked! I look down at my chest, and there I see two nicely sized breasts. I feel them, and squeeze them. Damn, that's soft. The next part was weird, but I start to take a piss in the shower. I'm aware my "area" is changed, and I'm curious of whether it'll feel different when I piss or not. It didn't. Finally, I looked in the shower hose to see myself. I had orange hair! It was moderately long. Then, I suddenly awoke.

2 dream fragments:

The first one is me looking through the gap in a half open door talking to this girl, she had the chain on the door stopping my and my friend from opening it and my friend was calling her a demon, at first her voice was normal and she was saying "im not a demon at all" then i listened closely and her voice was normal but you could also hear a deep demonic voice at the same time (a little like how a taurian in mass effect sounds like if u listen close to them.)
I continued to listen to her speak in her "demonic" voice until it became very clarified, she closed the door.

the second fragment was me going through the cupboards at home, it was day time and i was getting the nesquick milkshake powder from the cupboard to find multiple small tubs of it, some had strawberry in which is what i normally have, the second had a white powder in that looked like powdered milk. i got this odd shaped glass out, it was like..a glass bowl with a stand (sort of a wine glass) but it seemed to be magical as when i put water in and stirred in the white powder (i dont know why i was using water) the powder dissolved but dissapeared. the water didnt stop spinning and it had a sort of centrifugic hole in the middle (like when you empty a bath tub and the water starts to swirl at the hole)
I watched it for ages and it wouldnt stop spinning so i stirred the water the opposite way and it spun endlessly the other way with just a small stir. i then hid the glass with water in it back into the cupboard.


The longer dreams now:

The first one i was walking along with my friend, this time my friend was in the body of a girl with tanned skin and black hair wearing white clothing, we walked into a car park and saw 2 gangs start driving in and parking on opposite sides of the carpark as each other, we carried on walking through until my friend said "lets go another way" so i said "yeah well go back" one car i specifically remember was a large red sort of ferrari type car, or some really beasty sports car.
Whilst walking back 3 gang members walked up to us and they were speaking english but with a spanish accent, i dont remember the other 2 but the main one was bald with bushy eyebrows and in a white shirtless top with baggy jeans, they started talking a mix of spanish and accented english and looking at my friend so i said "leave her alone" one of them hit me twice then they walked off, i started to phone all my friends telling them to come out (odd, like a sort of revenge thing), we decide instead to go to a house party and i remember drinking loads of smirnoff vodka and feeling drunk within the dream and then passing out, i then woke up and went into a room with a shower.
The shower looked broken but the sink looked intact it had 2 handles leading into a single spout high up and a bit lower down individual taps then the white dirty bowl, i started to wash myself and people were trying to come in and i was hiding behind the door as i was naked, i told them to go away, i then locked the door with a bolt at the bottom and continued to shower, then i realised i didnt wana lock myself in incase something bad happened so i unlocked the door, then an ex girlfriend of mine walked in and told me to "fuck off" then i told her no i wont go away she should go away as she's the one too ashamed of seeing me since she cheated on me.
Then i logged into facebook and saw a notification of my tagged in a picture, i looked at it and it was me passed out on a sofa.


My second long dream had a bit more action in haha:

It was a friday night but we had no money to go into town but we heard there was an after prom party at our old high school. So me and my friends decided to go to it, we walked up the big brick steps and went through the glass doors, i lose recall at this point then remmber a part of us all walking down the field which was massively lit up in the pitch black night by the DJ at the school with his big lights (it was like at a music festival)

We were walking behind a few people and my friend shouted "gingers have souls" at all these ginger haired people, we all started to laugh at the comment then he started to shout racism at this guy and i was like "woaa man not cool dont be racist" then we saw loads of people running up behind us and start circling round the guy who shouted it and squaring up to him, then they pushed him to the ground, i realised my shoe lace was un done and i tied it really tight thinking of if i needed to sprint away.
We then saw the police, they were typical like english stereo type police with their hard hatted bucket helmets, we sprinted like hell down to the exit at the bottom of the field and we put up our hoods which we were wearing, i was with 2 friends, none were my friendly presence that i feel in some dreams, he was there at one point but he had gone at that point.

I jumped through a sort of "cat flap/hole" in the wall instead of using the door as it was quicker, we then ran over a small hill and jumped over a stile, we had police right on our backs so i remmeber launching myself down a really steep muddy hill and hiding under cove made by a tree and the land eroding away, i began to tie one of my loose trainers, i turned around and saw the really bright moon and the sillouhette of a police man, i then sprinted again into the pitch black darkness and hid "inside" a mud pile, i was thinking to myself if he would ever find me, it was wierd as despite the pitch blackness at point of the dream i could see perfectly but in black and white, like a sort of night vision, i then left the viewpoint of myself and was looking from the viewpoint of the police officer who was doing a thourough check of all the good hiding spots, i was then back into the viewpoint of myself, i heard them shouting "we have your friends to surrender"
I got up and i sprinted towards some barbed wire which i could also see and i jumped over it and i was running towards a forest, this forest had oddly been in a previous dream i once had where i was trying to escape from something, sort of like an escape point within my own mind.
I then sprinted into this forest and got stuck by some bars, the police officer was just on the other side, he was pulling me over to his side and i told him he was wasting his life, he seemed friendly which was odd, like...a really nice guy rather than the intimidating sillouhette figures previously chasing me, it was then daytime.

Two-two scratches at the door. The sliding glass door. I let him in. I am so happy and shocked. No one else seems to want to give this miraculous event any attention. Am I lucid? I pick him up and give him all of my love. He seems disturbed, not himself. As I type this I am reminded of Buffy's second coming (laugh out loud). He is in pain. I now notice a large hole on the right lower side of his tummy. Holding him, cradling him in my arms, I turn to my family for some help or advice. Something! They all look down, shaking heads nay. They tell me that he may be alive and that there may be hope, but it is not “RIGHT”. They gave me the feeling that helping save Two-two was immoral or corrupt. I turn to Brian, the same reaction from him. A sad, firm, absolute; NO. I am so distraught, lost, speechless. I've snapped. I'm yelling and screaming and raising hell. My heart is broken.

Note: My beloved companion Two-two, a chihuahua/poodle was defeated in battle with two male coyotes a few months ago. His passing was hard but he died a warrior.

I am at work. In a cubicle or cash register. Either way, I feel I am in a smaller space within a much larger space at my place of work. Mandy S. is my coworker and there are other employees around maybe two or three. I am being honored in some way by higher management but I get a feeling of jealousy or envy somewhere in Figure-19 the group of four or five. Not necessarily from Mandy S. I am very feminine in this dream. A heart breaker and I wear a lot of make up. Eyelashes are particularly emphasized as I recall. I sense something taboo happening concerning a bathrobe and possibly my dream ego. Outside of this work place seems to be the base of Mt.Ka. A facility wraps around that is our work place. There is a mound that we sit on. I cannot recall if this was a sort of break time or an evacuation, but we sit on the hill. Ryland B. is here. He is not happy. He is very aggravated and I think it has very much to do with me and my opinion of an outcome. We sit below the cracked mountain that appears so often to my dream ego, Mt.Ka, on a grassy mound outside of our place of work as it begins to rain black tar. There is no instant fear or panic but I sense that we all got up and fled to one of two doors equally far apart. I do not believe I was able to get inside the large gray door. Nor did I try the other door. What takes place after that I cannot recall.

[/CENTER]

Note: My father passed away about a year and a half ago.

I am at work and Kendall S. is there. I get into the golf cart and as I go to my task, a baby ion runs in front of my path. I stop and am frightened at first but soon realize it means no harm. It's mother appears. Later a medium-sized elephant stares me down from behind a madrone tree. (This is in the dream-scape that has one large room for us all to sleep in. Where we move the beds around.) Figure-2As I go back to the main property I realize I've gone too far and instead of turning around I just go the long way. I cross the fence and come upon the parking lot that surrounds a great hall/convention center. I turn right to continue my loop but I see a busy road I must cross and I don't feel confident doing so in a golf cart. I turn back and meet another busy street, so I head north. Driving north I am a man and there is a woman I know in the passengers seat. She loves speed and thrills. We start to go very fast and I see her suspended body in the rear view mirror as if I Figure-3am driving a limo. As we hit bumps her body seems to suspend in zero gravity. We are going very fast, now in the golf cart, and we crash. I am not hurt nor did I fear being hurt, but I do fear she has been obliterated. Even in the toss and roll of the crash she is fine. I warn her of the dangers of speed.

I'm in the living room of our first house on twenty-sixth and Alberta in Portland, Oregon. I'm not sure of my age but I can see my skinny little girl legs dangling down from my dad's lap. So I figure I'm three or four. We're in his light blue reclining chair. The sun sheds light on the chair and on me and on dad. I feel safe. Then it is dark. Not completely dark but the dark of a dense cloud covering sun. I am in the lap of Beetleguise. His black and white striped pants in place of my dad's blue jeans.

1st dream:

I was in a forest at night time with the Mystery Inc gang. We came upon some Legs (dressed in clothes that were starting to rot) that would cover over by leaves, than we uncovered the rest of the body and discovered a disturbing sight, The rest body of was a skeleton, expect for the unattached head which looked as the person did in Life. Than we came upon other skeletons but part of their bodies (eg.Hands) looked like they haven't rotted yet. Than we came to a hedge and looked through it and saw a mummy (you know the Egyptian kind) and than the parts that didn't rotted and the skeleton hopped over the hedge. End of that Dream:

Dream 2:
I was kidnapped (I didn't see it happen), and was sold to a Raja in India who took me for one of his wives (since I looked very beautiful) . He consider me to be important since he made me wife number 1 also known as Rani (Queen), since I was dressed in very Queen-like fashion, unlike the other wives according to Raja (from what I could see in the mirror in the Raja's bedchamber I was wearing a very fancy sari but what's odd is that I had a headdress similar to the one Cleopatra supposedly wore) . We were in the Raja's bedchamber and were getting ready to have sex to see if I would get pregnant (being the Rani, was a big responsibility since I would have to produce a son). We just laid down on the very big bed and the dream ended.

Dream 3:
I dreamed it was morning and my door was open, and through it, my sister's door, somehow I know sis was still home. And I check the alarm clock and it said 12:00pm and than sis came out of her room and I thought "how odd sis had work today at 8:30 so what is she doing still here?" Than I woke up for good.

DJ Log: March 20, 2011 – 7:30AM (USA Eastern)
Text color legend: · NON-DREAM · NOTES · DREAM · LUCID ·

(Note: During WBTB I was a bit hungry, so I drank a full glass of apple juice and are a PBJ sandwich. I always thought the claimed effect of these was placebo, but this may change my mind. It was extremely vivid and detailed, although I lost most of the fine details during recall and logging. ...If only I could connect a DVR to my mental image sensor...)

I am walking through the main lobby of a huge apartment building, looking for my new apartment. The main lobby is open all of the way to the fourth floor and there are large chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. As I walk down the hallway, I see that there are numbers on the doors, but they are constantly changing. I walk up a large set of stairs to the second level and walk down the hall, looking at the numbers on the doors. One side of the hall has paintings between the doors and the other side is open into the main lobby area. At the end of the hallway is a common area with a couple of chairs and a fireplace. I go up another set if stairs and arrive on the third floor. It also has a common area, but there is no fire in the fireplace. I walk down the hall, looking for my apartment.

After quite a bit of searching, I find my apartment. It has a huge main room with several smaller rooms that each have a fancy wooden door. The top half of the walls are green and the lower half is a medium wood paneling with a chair rail separating the top and bottom halves. The kitchen is very industrial looking as it is mostly stainless steel. There is a fireplace off to the side in an attached dining area. A set of double stained glass doors leads onto a large balcony that overlooks the main lobby. There is a small stairway off to the side of the balcony that leads up to the fourth floor, but the door at the top of the stairs is locked. I look through the window on the door and see that it leads into another large apartment. I turn around and go back down to my balcony.

As I come back in from the balcony, I run into a friendly middle-aged black lady that walked in from the apartment next door. She tells me that she is the apartment guide and would like to show me around the new place. She walks me all around the apartment, then shows me where the laundry room is. All of the rooms are empty except the laundry room, which has a washer and dryer in it. She sees that I don't have any furniture yet and offers me her futon to sleep for the first night. I accept her offer and follow her back to her place. I take off my shoes and sit down on her futon. She walks away for a moment, then returns with a glass of water. When I lay down, I close my eyes and transition into a different dream scene.

I an the main character in a first-person shooter game looks a lot like the classic Doom game. My health and stats are in my field of vision. I say to myself, “Wow, I'm in a video game!” I quickly become lucid and summon a keyboard so I can enter some cheat codes. I hear some shots being fired in the distance, so I enter IDKFA and my weapons repository fills up. I enter IDDQD and I feel a tingling sensation throughout my body as my health meter flashes, then expands to about three times the normal size. I select the grenade launcher and walk into the next room. There are a three characters in the room that look like the creatures from Aliens who immediately turn and start walking toward me. I fire the grenade launcher and blow one of them to pieces. I shoot the other two then run to the door on the other side of the room. I push on the door with my hand, but nothing happens. I tap the space bar on the keyboard and the door opens into another room.

This room looks like an IT closet. There are racks of servers and networking equipment all over it. I put away the grenade launcher and type something on the keyboard which morphs me into a small fly. I fly around in the room for a moment, then find a hole in the ceiling. I fly around above the ceiling tiles until I find another hole that leads me into another room. This room is very small on one side and there are cable management trays going through it. The other side of the room is about normal height and has some metal shelves against the wall. There is a fluorescent light on the ceiling that is flickering badly. I fly around the corner into another room that has a couple of empty metal shelves along one wall.

Suddenly, the door opens and a long blonde haired woman walks in. She looks straight at me and starts talking about something. Her words come out as total nonsense and I can't make out any words she is saying. Thinking it is a foreign language that I can't understand, I decide to keep exploring. I fly up into the ceiling and start looking around for another hole to fly into. Suddenly, I false-awaken back to the futon in the original dream.

I stand up from the futon and notice that I am wearing some kind of martial arts uniform. It's a thick, dark material and is formed like a sleeveless cape. It has some graphics on the front that looks like a couple of sword fighters. I look around for a bit, then reach up to rub my eyes and see that I have only 3 fingers on my right hand. This irritates me a bit, so I put my hands in my pockets, pull them out and look at them again. Now they have 4 fingers and a thumb each. I nearly lost my lucidity, but I pinch my nose and can still breathe through it, reaffirming my lucidity.

I walk out of the room into a large social area. There are several others wearing the same uniforms and they all look at me strange as I walk through to get to the bar at the other end of the room. A couple of them are practicing fighting with rubber knives. They both lunge at my throat with the rubber knives as I walk by. I extend both arms with my hands pointed upward and use telekinesis to shove them into the opposing walls as I walk between them. They both fall to the floor and quickly dissolve.

I arrive at the bar and ask the bartender for the House Special. As he mixes my drink, I look at the ceiling and see that all of the lights are off. I can barely see anything, except that there is a light switch on the bar. I flip the switch and nothing happens, so I look back at the lights and say, “Lights Now!” and a couple of the lights turn on very dimly. I repeat a couple of times and about half of the lights reach full brightness. The bartender comes back and hands me a very unusual looking drink. It's a slightly green margarita that's in a large fish bowl shaped stem glass and it has some dry ice in it. There is heavy steam bubbling out of the drink that is rolling down the glass and across the bar. I take a sip and it tastes like a green Jolly Rancher. I blow into the steam and see that there is a strawberry on a stick in the middle of the drink. I smile and remember the basic task of the month, then grab the stick and eat the strawberry. It tastes like chocolate and has a very gritty consistency. Once I swallow it, I set the stick down and look around the bar.

I look to my right and there is a younger guy who is becoming partially transparent and is looking around very nervously. A girl standing nearby tells him that he is destabilizing and he must spin if he wants to stay in the dream. He drops to the floor on his left hand and starts to push himself around in a circle with his feet, sort of like he's break dancing. After a moment, he fades back to normal and stands up again. He rubs his hands together for a bit then walks off with a smile on his face.

I finish my drink and walk back to my apartment. It appears that my furniture has showed up, but it is still in boxes and plastic overwrap. I walk back to the apartment where I slept at and look for my shoes. I find them, but the laces are untied. I try to tie them, but there are like 5 loops and at least 7 lace ends. I spend a while trying to untangle them, but the dream suddenly fades and I wake up.

When I wake up, I think to myself: What a perfect way to waste a really good lucid dream... ...tying my damn shoes...

*I am at Bara’s garden, where all the little trees are. It is summer time. She is there. I look at her and I feel like I want to have sex with her, but I don’t want to tell her, because I don’t know if she is still with the guy called “Banana”. I haven’t seen her for long so I lost the track. We walk around the garden and it looks that we are alone there. I keep following her and I don’t like it much. I notice that she dries photos in the garden. Then I see her sister in the distance, where the drive way is, but she doesn’t look the same. She is blond. Then I hear some voice, so I turn around and there is Banana. He kisses Bara. I feel a bit angry as it means that they are still together. I think I am helping them in the garden with something. Then we go upstairs to her room, but I don’t stay long and go downstairs again. I see that in the corridor is an old fashion bathroom. I look in the sink and there is “solvina”. But then I notice its all over the sink. There is a kind of bowl made of solivna on the side of the sink with a soup put in it. I wonder what Jirina and Emil haven’t done something about it as they usually pick on anything possible.
I see people gathering there. Different people that I don’t know, but I can recognize the band Cechomor, or at least I believe it’s them. Then I notice a man sitting in the bathroom, he looks little bit like Slavek Janousek. His hair is a bit funny. I try to remember his name, but cannot. It reminds me of the music that the Cechomor violinist plays in the lift in Rok Dabla movie. I really like the music. So I ask him and humm the music. He is very excited and says “yea its me, its me”. Then I go outside and see even more people gathering. Then Bara stops me and says that she is expecting some delivery. It is supposed to be some marble blocks and some wood for her new terrace or garden house or so. She describes in good details how its going to look, but uses terms that I don’t know, so I cant really understand. Then it flashes through my head, how advanced everyone is in terms of family and settling down. They are already building houses, planning kids and so on. An important though that went through my head was this – when I wash my hands with “solvina” the sink keeps blocking up, then I hear Barbara and Banan talking together somewhere on the stairs and I think that they talk about me. So I try to unblock the sink quickly, because if they walked in to the bathroom, they would know that I heard what they were talking about me. But most importantly, as I wash my hands, I think about Bara, what a great girl it is as she has the creative drive and certain ease. Then a thought of Serendipity goes through my head… and I am reflecting with Melissa.
**I am in some kind of camp. I do not recognize the are, its just somewhere in a valley in the middle of a forest. For some reason I know that the next evening people give presents to each other. It is not Christmas though. I know I haven’t brought anything to anyone so I try to put some things together at the last moment. Then I am queuing up for some fast food sold at a stool. I think it’s a hotdog or something similar to it. They sell small and large ones. Marek is there with me and I joke with him that he buys the small one and he sais “mind your own business”.
***Then there is a time jump. Everything is under water. The whole camp. I can only see some walls sticking up the water. I see some drowned people around. I am running around trying to find some door to let the water out, but then the water starts to fall down. Most of the people survived but what surprises me is that everyone takes it fairly easily.

I'm dreaming about the ocean, and I'm on a shore at nighttime with others across the beach. I have flat surfboard and I keep riding out on it a few feet into the water but as soon as i cant see the water beneath me i go back to the sand. I keep repeating this. I see LAbrsh surfing and trying to be cool. There's a random girl a few feet next to me. I get a text, it's from a number I don't recognize telling me "megan fay is murder" which was mistyped. I wait to authorize if this person meant 'fox' so I ask but before I can get a reply Labrsh pulls out his phone and says it. The girl me and him don't believe it and turn to our left and tell a group of people. There in college it seems. We ask for a tv in some dorms. Across the shoreline down west of the beach are dorms that spread down. one guy says yes and we race down the shore and inside a dorm. Labrsh says dont follow me and i say im not im just running beside. we get in and we immediately see a large glass window, like looking into a store window full of tvs and it's true. Megan Fox was murdered in her room and before she was she made a tape. In this tape she is making flowers with cake icing on something and shes saying shes sorry to movie producers and friends that she has to miss filiming to mourn for her passed father or something.
i leave back to the beach but first i cant find my way. i bump into someone im arguing my point against that megan fox is similar to marilyn monroe. but she disagrees. when i get to the beach, there are a bunch of people fucking and i fuck a college chick and then people start getting mad after i pull out, and we appear walking into a building, and into a gym where all the girls are dressed now stretching in a circle, and the boys are on the side about to run. i quick get dressed so i can run too.

Earlier dream:

I'm in New York with Laura. I don't remember how we got there - by train I think. My house is still in NY, but it's really different. We go outside and there are some kids with posters and Matt Brst is there, it's for the boxer rebellion thing i got in the email. Theyre going to set the flyers up all around town and this makes me mad because i want to beat them at it. At some point me and laura are in my kitchen snuggling and talking. then im back in milwaukee trying to print those flyers so i can go back to NY and beat them, but i keep running into problems and wake up.

I see my grandpa in my dream. We go to their apartment, and he's still alive. He looks youthful and young. I get the vibe that they think we don't want to be there and that we don't like coming to see them. My mom has brought cookies, and I give them to grandpa. I turn around to walk back to sit down somewhere and i say "theyre chocolate chip" but he yells at me and says "these arent chocolate chip these are .." and i cant remember what they said. it was like oatmeal nut or something. But then i play it off like i knew that and the chocolate chip cookies appear next to them. My mom and them are talking about the importance of god and the bible, but my grandpa doesnt say anything about it. There is a loud meowing and I go open the door, which leads to a mirror image of their balcony, and it is raining and the cat looks like JWB but someone tells me its a neighbors cat. I let it in and it runs over the the windowpane of the real balcony but it doesnt get out and runs back to the other one and falls down the balcony to another floor. but its okay and keeps meowing. All I keep thinking is how much that cat must hate the rain.

Awake Non-Lucid

It's one of those times, where I feel as though I'm in a completely different world. I feel as though I'm in a fantasy book.

There was hills in front of me. I know that I have a power, some sort of magic. I see a girl up ahead. I have feeling that she has written, created, this power. What is this?

I walk up to her, and ask her about it. She tries to explain it to me. She mentions a war, and that some people don't like this power. I get confused.

"I still don't understand what I can do, or what this means." I say. She doesn't reply, looking a little hopeless.

[Dreamskip] I'm in a supermarket. The power, or energy in me, is still there. I still don't understand what it is, does, or how to use it.

I have an impulse to go to the bread aisle. I feel as though someone is watching or guiding me. I walk along, for some reason I try not to think about the power.

There's that girl again. She's small, with short dark hair. I'm about to ask her more questions, when everyone stops. Everyone stares at me.

"Run!" I hear.

These are the people who don't like the power. Everyone's attention is on me. They hiss, looking animalistic. I start running, dodging through aisles and eventually through streets and walls.

[Dreamskip] I'm now at school. I pulls my hood up, covering my face. These people don't like the power. They kill people with the power. I walk quickly towards the door, but I'm on the third floor.

As soon as I think about it, everyone stops and glares at me, looking bloodthirdsty and murderous. In my head, I see a vivid visualisation of a giant blue eye on the wall, staring at me. This is the thing that controls the people.

Before I think about it, I run as fast as I can down the stairs. I run into the quad, but they're advancing on me. I instinctively run up the side of a wall, knowing that the power allows me to do so.

[Dreamskip] I see a map. It's set in blocks, each block a different colour of each part of the building. It looks like a giant maze. There's someone with me, but I don't see his face clearly. He whispers in my ear that they are still searching for us, and that we should avoid thinking of the power within the building, and get through it as fast as possible.

So I open the door, and head into the maze. The first door shows an old woman, rocking in a chair, glaring at us. I say nothing, and offer no explanation, but simply go to the door in the room, and open it into another.

I don't know how many doors I open and rooms I go into. But I see different things and people in each. Some are blank, some are disturbing. I start to feel scared when in one room, there is a girl crying in a corner. In the last, there is a dead black dog.

I go to the dog, dispite the warning of my companion (I now realise that this was Asher. I couldn't see him, but I could feel him if that makes sense.) I slowly stroke the fur around the dogs ears, feeling terribly sad. My companion kneels down beside me, and puts his arm around my shoulders comfortingly. I roll the dog over to see that it has a zip going down it's chest, down it's stomach and to its tail.

The zip is open, showing its organs and inside. I try to zip it back up, but the zip gets stuck. I get angry and frustrated, tugging and the zip harder and starting to cry when it doesn't go any furthur. I don't want to run, or hide, and I don't want this evil feeling around me.

The guy grabs my hands and prys them off of the dog, slowly lifting me to my feet, keeping a hold of me to stop me falling over.

Then I woke up.

I've noticed that my dreams have more reacurring dream signs. But they're not mundane signs such as water or buildings. I dream of Asher, Katie, occasionally Skylar. The old hag/woman. The giant eye that watches me. Some sort of power is usually associated.

It's like a puzzle I feel I have to solve.
