non-lucid

Morning of January 17, 2014. Friday.



For a reason I am not at all sure of, I am seemingly at the home of a well-known YouTube hillbilly conspiracy theorist. He has claimed to be in his forties, but could easily pass for seventy-five - and his wife looked about fourteen in a few older videos. This strange scenario is some sort of rehashing of old data (old memories) for the most part, I guess, as I have not watched many of his videos on YouTube as it is, and rarely all of any of them. He apparently has thousands of followers, many for the unintended comedy, endless delusional rants, and narcissism, and I have often wondered if the character is a real persona, but then, seeing other things of late regarding people and their ideas, I suppose anything is possible no matter how bizarre.

In the dream, he only makes an actual appearance near the beginning and near the last part, where he returns home from having been out quite late at night. I guess I am babysitting his daughter all day (although it looks somewhat like his real-life wife). When he does show up, I notice that he is wearing a strange full-head helmet (and supposedly always wears it even when sleeping - although I had not noticed it in the first part of the dream, I do not think). It seemingly reminds me of a character head from Marvel’s “Creatures on the Loose” (or perhaps “Monsters on the Prowl”) but that might be a false memory. It actually looks the most like a Cylon head (from “Battlestar Galactica”) somewhat - but with a larger eye area.

I am not one hundred percent sure on why he went out or what he was doing. I think it was related to getting supplies (cartons of eggs and such) and likely ammunition, as he was loading a rifle of some sort on the couch after returning home. I get the impression that he was actually “giving” me the girl for the time he was gone as if he thought he “owned” her, but no drama ensued. Apparently, he thought I was going to treat her badly, even violently (as I imagined he had done), although I did not really go near her the whole time. I actually feel a bit wary at not being as insane as he is (even though I try to “fit in” temporarily in the scenario just to avoid any trouble from him, by acting as friendly as possible and agreeing with his strange ideas about alien invasions, what to eat and what not to eat, and such) and am wondering what he would do if he learned I had not harmed the girl at all.

The dream seems somewhat ambiguous. I seem to want to avoid him seeing me when he returns, even though I am expected to be there and I do not really see him as threatening other than being “harmlessly” deranged for the most part (unless he is armed, I suppose). His presence is very menacing on one level, but I think that is merely the effect of the weird mask/helmet (otherwise his character is physically very weak and very weak-minded). I am aware he also eats through the mask, likely having to wash it off later after mashing the food through whatever openings there are in the mask. It does not function like a gas mask, I do not think, but has something to do with being protected from alien brainwaves or invisible government weapons or some such (hard to say with him). I guess it is basically just a more advanced symbolism for a tinfoil hat as with such people.

1. [Non-Lucid] [Vivid]
I'm in a place, there's a lot furniture scattered about (kinda like a storage warehouse) then appears a scared and possibly angry deer, my step-dad Neil is here and is trying to help the deer get out of this place - I am too scared of getting hurt to go near it and help D:. I see the deer approaching so I retreat upon this rather old fashioned rose red padded material chair with wooden arms, then randomly a kid talks to me.

Now we are in our house in the kitchen/dining room with the deer, Neil falls over in a rather bad way and hits his head on the wooden laminate flooring...all goes quiet, then Neil says something and he keeps repeating this word over and over again as if he had some sort of concussion or brain damage, hes not moving and hasn't gotten up - my uncle david has been behind me the whole time it seems, he decides its time for him to go upstairs and wash his hair.

I go into my room and dial 999 into my mobile and 2 options pop up on the screen both of which are not what I needed plus the interface goes all weird...I tried dialing for a second time and paramedic is now on the list so I hit that which I assume sent them a text message or something.

I go back into the dining room and find my cousin Matt sat on the sofa across from Neil, I approach him and he has my mothers hair (this freaked me out a little), I asked..."where is Neil?"...Matt replied "I have hidden him"...I asked where then saw a pile of random Tupperware boxes in a pile where Neil is laying.

Neil gets up (the Tupperware is gone) and I see his skull on the top of his head with blood on it then it was gone replaced with hair and skin as if it was never there. I told him I called the paramedic and he got angry while wobbling all over the place as he is kinda unstable, I here a vehicle park outside, it is an ambulance.

Now me and my Uncle and I are in the ambulance with Neil, Me and David decide to leave so we climb over onto the front seat trying to not hit the pedals and open the front door, for some reason this ambulance is very tall so we had to climb down a rope to the ground to get out.

review: beach, friends, volcanic eruptions, dinosaurs, monsters, forest

Volcanic Irruption by the Beach
Me and my friends were swimming in the ocean, while talking about swimming in the ocean. As if talking about it made it happen in my dream.

My friends were experimenting with different dream skills and seemed concerned "Do you think there is a way we could harm the ocean?"

I look at the giant waves and say "No way! The ocean is constant energy flowing in and out, it breathes. Nothing can hurt it"

The giant wave carries us to shore. And then I joke "Nothing could hurt it but say - A Giant Volcanic Explosion! So big, it boils up the sea and the sea rains back on us!" Why did I say that?

Suddenly a volcano is birthed right on the beach. It hurls giant volcanic rocks that explode into a horrible greenish lava, burning with acidic gas. The whole beach and city panics. Herds of people try to flee the growing volcano and its acidic lava. The ground is shaking and the sky turns dark from all the ash!

In the madness I was separated from most of my friends but one. We ran into a warehouse, even though we know we can't stay here because the lava is coming. Still, were so scared we take cover and duck.

Things only got worse. Now there are dinosaurs attacking people. Suddenly a necromancer pops out of nowhere, summoning demons and goblins. He enters our warehouse and attacks us with his legion of demons. What the hell is going on!

I grab my friends hand and we run, we just run. We ran until we reached the forest and the sky was blue again. Inside the forest we continued to run, afraid we were being followed. We hide behind a boulder and hope we've lost our assailants. I woke up shortly after.

Morning of January 17, 2014. Friday.



I am in Wisconsin on Loomis Street with my wife and children in the backyard at one point. We are also in other locations, including near a landfill, but where there are a lot of tall grasses. There is some sort of machine that we have outside that works like a 3-D printer as well as a search engine. A search is entered and what it does is scan all landfills and dumps and list the contents and their condition. It is then able to recreate the garbage as is, or reconstruct it from its original state. For example, there are a lot of comic books that are torn or with missing pages, which can be restored under one function. It works on some sort of holographic data scanning and possibly teleportation in some cases. I guess an archaeologist could use the device when the artifacts are too far down or in a problematic location. You could even find various versions of material from older novels before they were completed and published, I suppose, due to authors in the past throwing out hundreds of pages of typed material for their books.

I enter the term “Bewitched” but cannot find any “Bewitched” (television series) videos listed, which I think is what we are looking for. In a way, it reminds me of Google in dredging up endless rubbish not related at all to the actual search perimeters. Instead of “Bewitched” VHS tapes or DVDs, it has a list of other things, including Magica De Spell appearances in Donald Duck comic books and other sources. It reminds me of how Google often alters what you are searching for without asking (which it never used to do).

I decide to reconstruct some comics for our children (both comic books and newspaper comic strip pages), with Magica De Spell and Donald Duck (although the cartoon Magica De Spell reminds me vaguely of the “real” Endora). I then get the impression that there is an option to actually bring out the original rubbish itself (in cleansed format) with any missing bits remade from teleported and cleansed landfill materials or source materials from the printer. There is some sort of idea of reintegrating the rubbish within all landfills into all of human society, relative to a recycling function. This seems a bit sad, as then, all of the landfill “archives” will have been removed. (I suppose this reminds me of the exponentially increasing corruption of the wayback machine, by which thousands of previously available webpages are being replaced by blanks as well as thousands of others being deleted so quickly, it is reported to be found but is already gone by the time you go to the archived webpage. I guess they ran out of finances and server space.)

Journal Entry non-lucid #9 Dream, non-dream (Comments)
Background:

Dream fragment 1 from 9:40pm-4:35am" Game Controller": I was walking in a narrow parking lot, and I saw my friend, EY, on grass. It was a peaceful environment, there was trees all over the place. There was this black guy, he had a game with him, so a lot of people surrounded him. He was trying to prove to church people that they can control waking life by a game. I was now around some of the church people I know. This one little kid was running around chasing all the others. He had something in his hand I don't what it was, but it was funny when he chased them with it. As I was laughing he started coming after me, I jolted out of there. He was catching up to me so I kicked him as I was running. I was now back at the park and they were controlling the church people like zombies. I asked the black guy how he feels about the game. He told me it's fun at first but after a while it sucks but it becomes addictive.

Dream fragment 2 9:40pm-4:35am " Cheers ": I was walking and these cheerleaders came in front of me and started cheer leading. They were barely dressed. They had these little outfits on, showing most of their boobs and butt. So I looked. My cousin saw that and she told one of the ratchet ones to go jump me. But for some reason they wanted to take a picture of me acting like I was dead.

Dream fragment 3 9:40pm-4:35am " Not a full time Job": I was with this guy, he kept telling me that he has a job to do. He was driving like a manic. When we got their he tells me we are going to rob a store. I asked him, "I thought you said you got a job?" he responds, "I never said it was a full time job". Then the cops showed up and arrested us.

Dream Fragment: I was in control of the body of this tall pregnant redhead with a sparkly red dress on with white platform boots who was chasing me saying her baby is mine and I couldn't catch me even though I was running in circles in a relatively small hotel lobby.

Dream Fragment: This man walks up to me and takes off his glasses and this puke yellow foggy light comes from out of the lenses and booms into us and then we see all this weird shit but I'm still aware of the room around us and I slowly walk away from him because it's freaking me out, but he really wants me to look into the yellow air with him.

Started out based on the Mulan musical that played in Tokyo a few years back, but the storyline started following the general, who no longer looks anything like the actress who played him, and now the dream has lost any theatre aspect. Now the general is the emperor's son, and has a name which translates to "divine," and has been summoned before the emperor. The emperor is blind, and from his eye sockets there are two strange things - flat, rectangular, worm-like things, something parasitic or symbiotic. Each has a small, white circle with a mark in the shape of ᛣ, and the general is aware that those marks can open and extend something that latches onto eyeballs and rips them from their sockets, he's seen it done before. The dream had been in 3rd person ever since I lost track of the theatre framing, but as I examined the things I shift to 1st person, the pov of the general, who is disgusted and afraid of the things.

When his father dismisses him, he indicates that he should leave through a door beside the throne instead of the way he came. It's a small opening, extremely low to the ground, so that a man would have to crawl to get through it; it's designed to shame people, to stress rank and obedience. The general gets down on his knees before it, then hesitates and says "Father" - at which the emperor lurches forward, placing the parasite-things close to the general's face. It's not a threat, just an attempt to get a 'look' at him using the parasite's senses, which 'taste' the air, but it's an inhuman-looking motion, and the general drops whatever he was going to say in favor of getting away as quickly as possible. But he/I have a difficult time moving through the door as quickly as I'd like, and I realize it's because I'm becoming aware of my body lying motionless in bed.

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

I'm leading some team climbing a mountain covered in snow, explorers, the first to climb this mountain in history. But the men keep seeing something, some shadow figure, and insist there's someone already here. I dismiss this as nonsense. But now that the peak itself is in sight, I can clearly see there's somebody up there.

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

For the past few dream scenes, I've been in a car with my IRL sister S. and two women, a couple, witches; and we've been lost. We were lost on the road, we were lost driving through water, we were lost and mistakenly in the wrong house, we were lost and running from that house's owner, and now we're lost and we've stumbled across a street where every house seems to be having a party, spilling out into the street, blocking our way. They invite us to join the party, and while I want to just get back to the road, the others want to stay. I spot someone in the crowd, some minor celebrity, and I'm intrigued enough to agree, we check out the party. I talk to the minor celebrity briefly and find him disappointing.

Later, inside one of the houses where the party's going on, not much liking the company and wanting to get a move on, I've been cornered by some guy who's much taller and larger than I am and who seems to have mistaken me for a woman. He asks me if I believe in promises, and starts hinting very strongly that he believes we knew each other in a past life and are destined to be together. Yikes. I manage to shake him off and go find my sister in the kitchen, tell her that it's time we leave; the witch couple we were driving with join us and say "Um, we should go. Now." The lady of the house is in the kitchen with us and at this point she probably thinks we stole the silver, but we get out of there - through a window that opens onto the porch on the side of the house, rather than going back through that party to get to the door. As we're climbing out the window, one of the witches says something explaining to me and my sister why we've got to leave in such a hurry, something involving some guy who'd introduced himself as 'Psych', and I suspect it's that same creep.

Out on the porch, one of the witches looks behind us and gets a horrified look on her face. My sister asks what it is, and the other witch says oh, she just saw Ben - her ex, who's dead - don't look, just go, get off the porch, now. The porch is narrow enough that we have to go single file, I'm the last, and as each one gets off the porch and onto the street and looks back, they look increasingly horrified - Ben's a minor nuisance, their expressions indicate Ben was just a symptom of something more going on here. I feel something strange on my back, at the base of my spine, and my motions seem too slow; I become aware that it's because I'm waking up.

I had a lucid last night I don't remember the vast majority of the dream. I only recall a few key factors. One was I non-lucidly driving somewhere. I remember the speed limit was 50, but I was going about 25 because the entire road was covered in ice. I soon lost control and spun out multiple times.

The next part I remember is actually becoming lucid. I was talking to someone or perhaps myself, can't quite remember. I mentioned the word dream in a sentence and became lucid. I then flew through the ceiling and investigated the area and thought about what I could do. I don't remember anything else from there very clearly.

LUCID
*I thought wow I am dreaming while standing in the middle of the street. Then I felt that I came back to my body but I couldn't move. This scared me and I eventually began to move.

*I realized I was dreaming while hanging out in this dinner. I looked to the person next to me and said do you know I am dreaming you up. You are a creation of my mind. Then they said how you do know your dreaming. They also said so your the only one who is real here in a sarcastic voice. Then I started making stuff fly off this table we were eating at just to prove I wasn't joking. Then I stood up and said look at this as I started to lift off of the ground. I started to explain how awesome dream yoga and lucid dreaming was. At this point I was in meditate posture floating around talking. Lama Kathy was there giving me a look like down get so full of your self.

non lucid
*I was ironing my clothing thinking I have to come back to earth and help all living beings. I felt deep concern for my mom and family.

*I remember reading a text on tsok practice and how one should do this everyday. Then there a statue of tara very beautiful and detailed at my shrine.

*I was hanging out with darcy and she told me she has to be with me. She told me she doesn't wanna be with anybody else. Then she laid down on her bed and I rubbed her back for a while.

This is mostly a copy of a text file I wrote:

Earlier dream;

It was as if I was playing a video game in which I could go all around Pennsylvania. So I first went out the road towards the Eagles' bar and it isn't the same in this dream as it is in waking life at this date. I thought of driving the 2000 Honda Insight, Then some people shot at me then I kept going past them and walked around a locked church (Which is not there in waking life that I know of) and then went down to Limestone, PA and met some people at a yard sale at a house near the top of a hill. A father, His son and a woman were all there and they had a black 50s car for sale and I went into their carpeted garage and used their remote-controlled vacuum cleaner (A kid would enjoy this so much) and sat on a couch, My Dad came by through driving And their (Adult) son who wore an orange shirt talked to me and said they'd like to say happy birthday to me. So I turned around in the chair.

(UPDATE, 16/December/2014: I did not have a 2000 Honda Insight car in the physical world when I wrote this nor do I have one now!)
____

Dream of Dad driving another odd car (The same as was described in 2014-Jan-15's dream?) and I went into the kitchen fireplace and wind was coming through as the bricks weren't all there between the wall and outside.

_____

Third dream

____

I looked out my bedroom window (Which I found on the first floor with plants outside the window) and saw a double rainbow for a very long distance and other people looked at it too. Later in other dreams I wanted to tell people about it and was trying to tell them! The rainbow started not horizontally as most do but I saw it starting closer to home, In the alley close to the trailer factory? And it went in the direction I call south (Or close to south), Using the waking-life house as a standpoint for compass direction.

I went downstairs to tell my parents about it who were in the living room at one point. But my room was on the first floor?

___

I was in the garage (Which was different in the dream than it is in waking life) and someone or some people were there. I at one point put on some other clothing including an "ARMY" Hat to get fat like D. Boon as if I were creating a Rock Band character? I thought of jumping around like he did. I also tried to communicate to someone regarding something but couldn't talk very well. (In waking life my throat was dry; I woke up a few times in the morning.)

___

There are dreams of waking up and trying to tell people about that Double Rainbow.

PREP

• Nose plug reality checks throughout the day, whenever I thought of it and whenever anything seemed dreamlike.
• Visualization of what I would do if I realized I was dreaming.
• Mantras during the day and before bed - "I remember my dreams," "I wake up after my dreams," "I check my reality often," "I know when I'm dreaming."
• Awareness, as often as possible, of sensory input.
• Mantras repeated at each awakening during the night.

Dreams are marked 1-5:


DREAMS

(1) People were giving me gifts. I opened one of the boxes and pulled out a string of bloody intestines, pierced with what seemed to be nails and claws of various animals. I was not concerned.

(2) I was Robert Downey Jr., and I decided to make a run to the grocery. I drove a white SUV, and accidentally went past the turn for the store. Instead of turning around at the next intersection, I decided to simply cross the median and drive straight through the front lawn. I was Robert Downey Jr., after all. While crossing the other side of the road, I misjudged and clipped the rear bumper of another vehicle. An angry Asian man jumped out and rushed my vehicle. I peeled away, and the man got back in his car to chase after me.

I drove into my old college campus and found an ambulance waiting for its next call. I got out of my vehicle and ran toward them, saying that I'd just been in an accident and needed to be bussed to the hospital immediately. They loaded me in the back, and thusly I escaped from the pursuit of the angry driver.

Once at the hospital, I was confronted with all of the women that I (RDJ) had apparently dated. They all claimed that I had slept with them so that I could steal from them, and they pulled out a catalog of expensive jewels which I had supposedly taken. I knew nothing about this, but they pulled out axes and started to chase me with them. I ran through the corridors of the hospital to escape.

Through one of the hospital doors was a Star Wars themed summer camp, with the camp buildings modeled after various movie locations (the Death Star stands out in particular). I was now a small boy, and I was bunkmates with an equally young Robert Downey Jr. We met at the camp and quickly became best friends. The passage of time slowed, and it seemed to me that I spent an entire childhood at this camp.

Now my real age again (20's), I walked out to the cafeteria to seek a midnight snack. I found a bin full of Twizzlers, but RDJ told me that they were his mother's. While looking around, my IRL former best friend Martina appeared. I was now myself again. I told her about my time at the camp, my IRL pregnancy, and what had happened with clipping the Asian guy in my SUV. After sharing a microwavable soft pretzel, we decided to return to the spot of the accident.

Martina and I rode motorcycles out to the grocery store, and saw the man still standing there fuming, gesticulating at listening police officers. Before he could spot us, we rode away.

The scene changed, and I was holding my baby and attempting to bottle feed her formula. She wouldn't drink it, and I was becoming increasingly distressed.

(3) I had become massively overweight. Two judges rang my doorbell, and I asked them what the trouble was. They told me that a court order had been issued for my arrest. I ran past them with my daughter and escaped to my parents' house. While there, she and I sat in front of their old television, which had soft material overlaying the speakers. We stuck pieces of colorful plastic into the material.

(4) My middle school basketball coach, Mrs. Adams, led my high school home room class. As she was introducing us to some class material, a giant mechanical version of Littlefoot's mom from Land Before Time stomped throughout the classroom. Mrs. Adams kept talking after the bell had rung to switch classes, so one of my classmates asked if he could leave. She told him he could not, but he left anyway. One by one, we all left.

The scene switched to my grandmother's kitchen in Maryland, where my cousin Justin's father-in-law was attempting to break in and harm him. I leaned against the door, trying to keep him out, while Justin sat at a table with his head in his hands. His father-in-law eventually left.

My brother and I went to the living room to play a video game version of the workout series "Insanity." We tried using a Nintendo DS as a controller, but it wasn't working. We figured out that we had to use my brother's cologne (Erolfa by Creed) to operate the game.

I was then in bed, dressed in a Littlefoot pajama suit. Mrs. Adams came in to wake me up, and I told her I didn't want to change out of the suit. She told me that I had to, because we were going to the park.

(5) I was much further along in my pregnancy. I marveled at how even though my belly had expanded significantly, the scale showed that I had gained almost no weight. I walked into the nursery, where there was an ornate dark wood crib. I thought about how comfortable the crib looked. I peaked into it, and a large white cat was curled up on the mattress.

I went to a food court with my parents. My dad and I placed our orders, and then went to use the restroom. When we returned, we found our food was sitting on a counter right behind where my mother was sitting. I asked her why she couldn't be bothered to retrieve it, when it was so close to her. She didn't say anything. I complained about how often I'd helped with my little brother's food, so couldn't she do me this one favor?

I noticed that my food came with a bag of Lay's potato chips, and I wished I had my French onion dip with me.

We were out on a road, and my mother asked us to help her protest the painting of the road. Apparently, a woman wanted to paint it with the various stages of fetal development in order to convince her boyfriend that she shouldn't abort her baby. I told my mom to just leave her alone and let her paint it - the road was black, and we could easily paint over it the following day.

I was now in a town located on and between two large hills. The roads were all pale yellow brick. In the dip between the two hills, the town was completely flooded. I sat on a bench at one of the high points to avoid the flooding. A young man sat down on the bench next to me and asked my name.

"Please," I said, "Not to be rude, but I prefer to be left alone."
He nodded, seeming to understand.
A few seconds later he asked, "How'd you end up here?"
"Look," I responded, "I tried to be polite. I really don't want to talk to anyone."

He said nothing. A minute or so later, several muscled thugs came to jostle me into a building. I told them that they'd made a huge mistake, that my parents were fabulously rich thanks to their involvement in the development of several Disney movies, including The Lion King and Toy Story. That they could make these thugs pay for their rough treatment of me.

A woman, presumably a leader, came in. She turned into a spider-like animal with a white face and large eyes. She shrunk me down to a small square with a face, and began to trap me behind stretchy purple bars in order to hold me for ransom. I was able to pull them apart just enough to yell to my parents to not come for me. Somehow, they saved me.


THOUGHTS
No lucids, but I didn't truly expect any my first night back at trying. In view that it was my first night back, I'm extremely happy with this level of recall. Especially considering that yesterday, I remembered only a tiny fragment of one of the previous night's dreams. This gives me hope that perhaps if using my dream recall muscles comes back this easily, perhaps my lucid dreaming muscles won't be far behind.

(non-lucid)
Me and my uncle were watching TV and he changed the channel for an end of the world thing. Apparently the world was ending. There was a mountain and the reporter said the world is going to end if the missile is going to hit this mountain. The mountain was just down the road and we decided to go there.

When we got there the news reporter said something is headed this away. After awhile she said "IT'S A MISSILE" and the news and TV shutdown and we saw a missile heading toward the mountain and it hit. Lots of ashes when flying all over and everyone was couching and he said to me "get in the truck". I then got in and he took me to a hotel. Everything was fine then the building collapsed and I woke up.

In this dream, I wake up on a very sunny morning. My brother is awake before me ,I don't think that he tries to wake me up but he might have. Then my dad comes and tells me to get ready for the science fair. I should have taken his advice in waking life.

I was at my friend S's house (though it looked just like my house.) and we were (for whatever reason) having an eating competition. S had a whole bunch of these little pizzas that he would heat up in the microwave and we were trying to eat more of them than one another. After about six, I felt really sick.
S said he was going to drive me home, but that he had been drinking (even though he's 17...). So that driving with him might be dangerous.
When we went outside of his house, we found ourselves living in... well an area very different from our town. There were a number of high mountains with winding roads leading to houses up these mountains. There was a large ocean and a large city with a number of tall buildings.
He drove me through the mountains, and his driving was absolutely insane. We nearly got into accidents at a couple different points, and nearly went off the road at a couple points. The scene got brighter and the sun came up as we arrived at the base of the mountain more toward the city area.
He asked me to get out of his car at this hotel on the outskirts of the city, for he had to pick up some other people, and didn't have enough seats in the car for everyone. I met up with my parents at the hotel and we checked in.

Dream Skips

We are at the pool of said hotel. I think this was a day or two later, after I stopped feeling sick from eating mini pizzas. My cousins are staying with us too, and we are all playing in the pool of the hotel. My cousins want to have a splash war with me, and I agree.
We start our splash war, but I notice that whenever I splash the water seems to behave unusually in that it doesn't spray everywhere, but rather almost targets them.
But it will all be explained because the cast of ATLA appears again as real people. But it looks like they are out to attack me this time. And as it turns out the splashes I am trying to do are in fact a waterbending move.
Toph makes this rock pillar just a bit shorter than hersellf at the edge of the pool, lifting up a portion of the tile floor. She then cuts off thin discs of rock from the top and wings them into the pool at me. But (because she sees with vibrations and therefore could not see me if i'm treading water in a pool, isn't being very accurate.)
I swim around to her left and climb onto the deck of the pool, then push her into the water. I then stand behind her rock tower and begin bending rock discs back at her. I'm not the most accurate because this is my first time earthbending. (Well it's official, I've done all four elements now. Just need to do them all while I'm actually lucid! ) She "surrenders" and disappears from the scene.
I notice that there are some holes in the opposite wall from where some of the rock discs missed. I manage to patch these holes with rocks. It doesn't look very good, but we made quite a mess earth and water bending so I wanted to at-least try to clean up.
I decide to leave the pool room, and go out through the only exit door that leads too: another pool room. This one is much more impressive. It has a large, L shaped swimming pool, this large hot tub built into some natural looking rocks, as well as these small personal hot tubs. I actually get mildly lucid here. I know something's up, but I never quite figured that I was dreaming. So we're going to this teal color again.
Well I probably would have thought about it more if Katara wasn't about to attack me. Now waterbending is the first I learned, and lucid or not, seems to be what I have the best handle on. I simply managed to look at the large L shaped pool and draw up a large water whip that I used to hit her into the side of the room. She disappeared from the scene in the same way Toph did.
After she was gone, I experimented with the water whip a few more times, and was excited by how powerful it was and how good my control was getting.
I saw my next too opponents Zuko and Sokka who were sitting and talking in the hot tub. I don't want to fight any more of these characters. So I think firebending this time. I cast lightning into the water electrifying it. But for whatever reason it doesn't harm them.
The other thing that I recall was that it seemed much weaker than the lightning in the show. Okay, it wasn't a pathetic spark, but it was certainly no terrifying bolt of lightning either. I wake up after trying to electrocute these two.

Journal Entry non-lucid #8 Dream, non-dream (Comments)
Background:

Dream fragment 1 from 9:20pm-1:30am" Dragon Ball Z": I was watching some sort of 80s show. It had its own theme song playing. The footage was all about mountains, rivers, basically nature. The show had had this weird robot man. His head was the only thing that was nearly human about him. His brain was just floating in his head. He was shooting laser out of his eyes. He was also levitating stuff. He told the other robots that they will show the true color of these primates.This dream pretty much sounds like dragon ball z.

Dream fragment 2 3:30am-5:45am " Neighbors ": I was with this celebrity and their was a monkey in the room. The room was my parents room. I was telling the celebrity that monkey like to throw poop at each other for fun. He didn't believe me. The little monkey started flinging little poop at us and one got on my hand. I had to rush to the bathroom. It was disgusting. I don't know why I told him that fact. If I said anything else instead of that, this wouldn't happen.

Dream fragment 3 1:30am-5:45am " Messenger that doesn't experience the message": I was at a school gathering and there was a lot of people there. I saw KA there, a girl I used to be friends with.I wanted to say hi to her but I didn't want it to be awkward since it has been nearly a year. I saw her looking at her hands, and looking at the environment so I went to her and I asked, "What are you doing?" She looked at me and said, "get out of my way, I am doing a reality check". She put a little face on this stickers that showed how many times she lucid dream. I looked at it and it showed that she had 3 LD a night. I was shocked. My sister pops out and says, "are you jealous?" I said, "Yes, I am jealous, I showed her about LD. She has out bested me. I work so hard and I am getting nowhere". I then humbly went to her and I asked, " could you please teach me what you learned about LD" She looked at me and looked away. I was angry, but mostly sad, and crushed. I walked away feeling humiliated. I thought to myself, "I am the messenger who doesn't get to experience the message". I sat down on this bench, and did a cheap reality check. I looked at my hands and didn't even count my fingers. This guy sits next to me and tells me to cheer up, girls are like that. He asked me if I wanted to help the school out? So, he takes me up a hill and gives me this can of spray. This black cloud came up and we sprayed the air around it. Little by little the cloud started becoming clearer. After we did that we went back down to the school. The whole place was destroyed. Even the paint on the walls were gone. It looked like mold. I actually never told her about lucid dreaming, but I did tell a whole lot of other people about LD. She showed up in my dream because I walked into her, but she didn't see me because she was starring at my cloth and I was in a hurry to go get my seat, because my class was full and if you don't have a seat it means you will have to stand.


Dream fragment 4 1:30am-5:45am" Ocean's 11 Hangout": I was on a truck. The truck driver drove us recklessly through the freeway. I guess we were inside of a car on top of the truck because I started driving a car as soon as I touched the freeway. I saw this wall, it was like an optical illusion. I can see my friend, JS, stuck inside there. I tried to drive my car into the illusion but didn't go through it. My friend EY, brought a truck so to speak that can drill through concrete. He drilled a nice hole in it, and left. When I went inside I saw the people from Ocean's 11 or a look alike. They were in hiding and were supposedly stuck in their for a couple of months. I completely forgot why I was down there in the first place. The door was still open and I forgot about it. I was amazed by the man made water fall in their cave or hideout. A child wondered in. I directed him back outside before they find out. I thought they might kill him. They were talking about how it is suspicious that they have a lot of coke bottles. They tried to rationalize it by saying it's ok nobody will suspect a thing because his dad's, my dad, dog would drink most of it. I didn't question the fact that I don't have a dog. That child I took outside told other little kids about Ocean's 11 hideout and they thought it would be funny to try and jump them. The kids rushed in with weapons and kept on hitting them. One of the men got knocked out. Then they subdued the kids. One man also stumbled in and I told the guy from oceans 11 to put him to sleep by doing them weird neck thing. He did the neck thing and the guy said oh I think I felt something. He urinated all over himself. I told him he's useless and I woke up sometime after.
