1) controlled flying dream. Walking down a wide street, a building about 4 floors high and long like an apt building is on the left, a bunch of people are on the roof. Trees line the street. I want to fly up there, I start flying towards the roof, I'm going slowly, I decide to fly faster, so I do a zoom-move I look at a point on the roof and I imagine my vision zooming in to that place, then I imagine that I'm there, and I'm there up on the roof. There are a lot of young people on the roof. I practice zoom vision on a spot of concrete on the roof, it kind of works.
I'm down on the other side of the building away from the street with a group of people, my older son is there current age, his gf is there, too. We're talking about traditions. There's a certain leaf that when you buy it as gift, it's required that on a certain day you must buy another kind of leaf to go as a tribute to go with the first leaf. My son gave to his gf the first kind of leaf, but didn't give the 2nd time. I'm "tsking" that he did this mistake. He claims that he didn't know. I *know* that I told him specifically about this tradition, but he was not paying attention. There is a VERY loud crack of thunder, we're all started by this. I think this may be punishment from God.
We duck down to the ground, We enter the building, climbing inside, the interior is dark/wet, water dripping everywhere, derelict rooms. A young teenage man is there, he is sitting with his back towards us with water dripping down from the ceiling onto his back, he's wearing a shirt. He's forlornly sitting, I see a glimpse of his face, I think this is the abandoned son of Bill Gates, I think it's very sad.
Back on the first street, I'm with and older man with a young child, I'm leading him down the road and I'm looking at the weather and I'm noticing the storm, we reach an intersection and we turn to the right. We're concerned about the weather so I fly up into the sky, doing a zoom-fly-move to get altitude quickly into the clouds up above, and there I float turning to look in each compass direction. All around are dark grey and stormy clouds except to the East, which is in the direction we're moving in along this street I see light on the horizon. We continue in that direction, the trees are approaching from the left. We enter hills made from rough dirt, the path bends up and to the right, it quickly turns into what I believe is a rich neighborhood fully of movie stars.
I see a black man talking animatedly to a dirty but wealthy man standing in his driveway just off the path, I know the dirty man is Larry David. I tell the guy behind me that this is the neighborhood of rich people where there are all kinds of funny things happening, if you pay attention. This area has very windy roads with tall trees, I think if I have to I will fly up above the trees to get our bearings and I'll be able to continue guiding us.
Going further along the path past the rich homes into the hills, past the Larry David house, I see on the ground by the sidewalk of the next home two small baking dishes with puppies sitting inside (statues?). Seems like an eery joke.
F1) guy entering a virtual reality cage, closing himself inside, he will control something from there.
2) troubled latina teenager girl sitting working as a cashier sitting behind a plain desk outside in a remote neighborhood out in the middle of nowhere theer are a few small houses around, a poor neighborhood. It's nighttime. I talk to her, I ask if the field across the highway is where they shoot their guns, then I imagine that couldn't be true because then the highway patrol would see them.

3) driving on a road, maybe in white honda, driving through the R wilderness on a country road by myself, I see a swamp open body of algae-covered water to the right and I think that's a place I remembered, driving kind of fast, the roads are muddy, I think I should slow down or I'll skid, I make it through without skidding, I think I'm going up to the top of some high place and will stop at a vista point to see the beautiful view, then I decide that's too high/too far to go on my own in this lonely place, I take a small turnoff to the left, the ground there is very muddy but has been groomed to be even, I think I should just return back not even go to the vista point. It's not a good idea to be out in the middle of R alone like this, there are crushed up trees in the muddy ground.
A weird animal, a yellow "Zog" appears in front of me in between my car and the road, it's walking slowly, it looks like a large yellow stick-animal made from huge arm-thick yellow pipe cleaners. Another car drives by at the same time I'm concerned about this other car, I see a building in this area up and to the left.
I'm back on the road returning back the way I came, I'm in my car but I'm also exposed like I'm not in my car, I feel like I'm running away from the Zog, I know I can't outrun it, I imagine the Zog puts its long snout into my face and I bite the end of it with my teeth to discourage it, a hard bite. I think what am I doing I'm in a car so I hit the gas so I accelerate away from it. Someone says that "in a 2-stroke car with you reach (some metric) you can double your power."
4) University football scene. "HIs feet are on the edge!" The wide receiver faked one way then turned another way. He was given the instruction to lose the defender in the crowd. It was a pass touchdown. The QB was a young man with short dirty blond hair plain face, I zoom in on his shirt, he's wearing not a uniform but a bunch of different layered shirts, I try to count how many shirts he's wearing. At least 4 layers. The QB tells coach he must return to campus for (the dentist?) he wants to drink milk. From the point of view of the bottom of a cup I see milk pouring down into the cup, it's like a milk advertisement. The QB is sick of the gatorade at the football field.
09:18
5) pursued by a wolf on EU avenue. It's dark/night, I'm trying to run into my car. I turn to face the wolf at my car, I imagine bringing out a lightsaber and slicing the wolf in half and someone discovering the two parts of the wolf on the street. There is a statement that "in the Soviet Union they were slow but they weren't stupid."
6) Walking along a street in the daytime (GZ Blv?) past rich houses they're holding lounge sales / garden furniture recliners. Some are painted. They're stacked in big piles in the driveways of the houses. Someone has painted a white chair glittery/shiny pink/red.
7) Selling lumber, EmKlg from work is coming and scratching up the wood to discover what kind of wood it is, he decides it's oak, he decides to buy some planks so he marks off the sizes he wants from the huge chunk of wood, then other people appear and also want to buy some planks, I'm getting alot of orders. I'm going to have to get ready for it and cut up all the wood ahead of time.
alot more detail was in there but I was woken unexpected by an alarm.
11:17
8) On UL favorite lake with parents. Someone is canoing right next to us. They're going in circles about to hit another boat with people in it right on the shore. I tell my folks my dad that canoing on the lake is great I'm trying to get him to go, he's concerned about sunburn, put on a sun shirt I tell him, walking around a bit, I think hey is that R island, are there any people camping there? There is a huge tree there very tall, I look up in it and see a tent or some streamers, conclude someone is staying there. Walking further around the shore I see a huge human made structure with large glass walls melding into the rocks, I'm curious about it, I decide it's a conference center that I've "remembered" that they built. There are people standing in the corridors, may be guards. I imagine going up to the walkway, walking into the center, pretending I belong, going down the elevator to the dock where there is a free shuttle boat back to the city.
9) driving through town with some guy in a car. He's a teacher, I'm in the back seat, I'm getting out it's night it's getting late, I have to go to class, I don't know how I'm going to get to class in the other city, I'll have to take a bus but then I don't know how to go where the class it. I think I shouldn't have gotten out of the teacher's car he's probably going to go right to where I need to go. I should have gone there with him. He has a chinese name, I see a subject of a talk something to do with dolls. There's a bus with people driving by, should I get on that bus to get downtown? But then I'd have to pay, and I have no money.
10) I'm riding a metro/subway, I see the stops going by, I get off, I realize I went to the wrong end of the line, I have to go back, but I have absolutely no money not even a coin. I wonder what I'm going to do. I think I may as well look for some lunch, for some tacos. There's a restaurant nearby looking in to see what it is what food is there, I think it is some sort of taco place there is a menu board, the choices are: some sort of taco meat, ground bbq pork, and something else, I put in the order , there are shredded salads / vegetables.

I was riding on a school bus with H and maybe C. H had an Ipad or some kind of tablet device and we were watching videos. While the bus was filled with this golden light.
We eventually arrived at the east entrance to my school, by the bus loop, sort of in the back of the school. There was a banner set up and a bunch of people partying, as though we had been gone a long time. There were maybe about a hundred people there.
I got out of the bus, and began enjoying the party. I noticed a lot of people had balloons. Then, out of nowhere, everyone's balloons started popping and people began running and screaming. I noticed there were darts flying through the air from somewhere behind me and breaking up the party.
I looked over my shoulder, and maybe fifty feet behind me was a guy on a machine gun turret, built up on some boxes. But instead of bullets, the gun was firing darts into the crowd. I tried to run toward the guy, but party-goers kept running into me and tripping me up. I tripped over a small child and fell onto the ground. I felt two or three darts hit me in the leg. (ouch.)
I crawled the rest of the way to this guy, then lunged up and tackled him. I must have knocked him out or killed him.
And, because of dream logic, afterwards, everyone just went back to enjoying the party. I overheard some dream character saying that people had brought shotguns to the party.
Someone came up behind me and blasted me with a shotgun. But it was at this point that I learned that this was a weird new kind of pyrotechnic toy that used gunpowder but fired no actual bullets, so when you got shot with it, it would just blast you with air. I don't know exactly how it worked. But it still made a loud noise that scared me.
A mother was watching a pair of very small kids, both of them were carrying these shotguns. They both ran over and blasted me. Agian, it didn't hurt, but the loud noise scared me.
I decided I wanted my own harmless shotgun, so that I could blast some other people. I found a box that was apparently a kit to make one. In fact the box contained dozens of kits inside cardboard tubes. I didn't want to be greedy so I took one cardboard tube and stepped out of the party crowd for a minute while I assembled mine.
It turned out to be very complex. When I opened the tube, there were hundreds of parts including mostly small screws and wires. There was a large flexible computer board with lights on it. The instructions stated that the first part of building your harmless shotgun was to select the color of three different lights on the circuit board. You could pick from five colors. Red,Green,Yellow,Blue, and Brown. I asked a man (Marcus) for help.
He looked at the circuit board and the dream changed from the party outside my school to this very high tech looking reactor room.
The room had a huge glass vial of liquid in the center, surrounded by dark metal supports. On the top and bottom of the room there were jet turbine fans spinning very slowly. The liquid was changing between Red,Green,Yellow,Blue, and Brown. There were four panels on the wall, like vertical plasma screens. Red,Green,Yellow,Blue, and Brown. But they weren't in sync. The vial and the four screens always changed so that every color was always displayed. We were on a catwalk above the lower turbine fan as to not fall in.
(I have to say, it was a cool sci-fi type room.)
Marcus opened a door between two of the plasma screens into another square room. This room also looked very cool and high-tech. We both walked into there. There were dispensers on the wall that dispensed liquids in each of the five colors I mentioned.
Marucs explained that each of the colors represents a different element. Red=Fire, Blue=Water, Green=Earth, Yellow=Air, Brown=Metal. There was a large L-Shaped tank of blue liquid in one corner of the room. He used the dispenser to fill a cup with red liquid and poured it into the tank. For a moment, the liquid in the L shaped tank went red, then changed back to blue.
While he walked over to the dispenser to get some brown liquid, he explained that mixing two of the elements creates an inert and largely useless mixture. But it's when you mix three that things start to get interesting.
He poured some brown liquid into the tank, and glass dividers came up dividing the tank into three sections, kindof like this. (Dividers in blue.)

Each portion of the tank drained of liquid, to reveal they had become something different. One became a sort of desert area with these light green spiky plants. Another became a crystal garden with green crystals growing out of dark grey. I forget the contents of the third tank. It may have been a clear quartz crystal garden.
The tank lifted up and separated each of the divided parts into a display case parts. Marcus was trying to convince me of how amazing it was when you mixed three of these elements, the possibility were almost limitless. I found it hard to be interested because the crystal garden looked dirty and fake.
I actually became mildly lucid at this point, but I'm just going to say I was non-lucid. I was looking at the crystals and thinking about how these crystals looked so ugly... This seems like something I would dream about...
Nope, I'm awake.

I am at a party somewhere in the USA, aparently i live there now. The party is in an underground basement with two rooms, all of their walls are black and loud music is playing from an unknown source, people are talking to me and laughing like crazy drunks, i don't understand what they are saying and i don't really care. My phone is in my hand and i'm browsing like facebook or something, which is a thing i'd never even consider doing at a party, because i hate the kind of people that do this thing.

Before i know it, i'm in a hallway, in what seems to be a communist style looking building(we have lots of those where i live)only it's in the center of New York. I have the feeling that i'm somewhere between the 20th and 23rd floor and i see myself from 3rd person perspective. Something sad has happened, but i can't remember what i put my palms on my face and someone comes and tells me something, i think it was one of my friends.
Before i could answer i found myself skateboarding infront of the statue of liberty, but um... it was in the middle of the city.

Next thing i find myself on a mountain road with my dad, he's driving me somewhere with a buggy(you know those car thingys) He's shouting at me about something, but i don't remember what. Then without any expectation we fly of the road and down the side of the mountain. For some reason we are both very chill about all that and my dad even says. "It's cool, you gotta learn how to handle these situations." We manage to stop unharmed and i get off the buggy. My dad dissapeared so i continue down the mountain. I reach a point where i get stuck and the scenery suddenly changes. Now i'm in some kind of abandoned room full of computers, like brands i've never heard before and all kinds of funky designs and what not, i even browse one of their desktops, but i find nothing interesting and go out of the room. I'm at the same spot i got stuck in, but now i can move. I go down a bit more and i end up on another mountain road, but this time there are people all around me cutting down trees, i don't even care (which is strange, because in the waking life i get really pissed about those things, people often label me as a hippie and stuff.) I see a green car, the people in it offer me a ride and i accept. After like 2 minutes they tell me to get off and say that they'd be back in a minute, i waited for them for more than 5 minutes and decided to continue on foot. I'm reaching the end of the forrest and people are no longer cutting down trees. I find myself on a beach and right there coast line is the hotel i live in, i have to go down some stairs first, but i can barely walk, my heel hurts(I got it injured while skateboarding in the waking life)I don't even go into my room i just turn around and walk back into the forrest to get myself a new PC, after a while i was in that abandoned room again, looking for the perfect computer, but i lost interest again and i woke up..

I don't remember much of this one, because i had some problems right when i woke up, so my mind wasn't on my dreams that night, but anyways here is what i remember.
At the beginning i remember i had some really nice and enlightening dreams, i was able to interpret(?) my dreams, while i was having them, so you could say i was kind of in a semi-lucid state, because i knew i was having those dreams, but they are a bit fuzzy...
I'm in my moms car with her and we are driving along a familiar mountain road. We were discussing whether she'd buy me chinese food or not, she didn't want to, but damn i love chinese. It was fall, but as we took a turn along the road, the season suddenly changed to spring and we weren't on a mountain road anymore, it was more like in the middle of a field, but still high on a mountain... At this point i stopped paying attention to what my mom was mildly shouting to me and started having thoughts about skateboarding. I was thinking about how i land this gnarly trick and feel nice.
Earlier in my dream i think i was at this local skateboarding spot, a bank, which has a set of 5 stairs and i managed to ollie up them which is way to high for me to do in real life just yet, but i ollied up a couple of times and then some bloke showed up and i couldn't do it again...
I woke up after that... I wish i remembered more about this dream, it was really enlightening!

Last night bed around 1am. Want to wake up early, like yesterday, and WILD again, like yesterday.

DR1
I'm walking through a pedestrian bridge over Danube, on the Slovak/Hungarian border. This bridge is not there in WL. The railing is metal bars, and it looks like the walkway is metal too, with some gaps and holes, as if from lack of maintanace.

Lots of people walking on it. I see this very old a frail woman, holding onto the bars from the outside of the bridge, thrying to cross it that way. Old man is doing the same thing, right next to her. I sense, they are somehow different, than others on the bridge.

I ask her why, and she says "so when I lose grip, wind will blow me against the bridge and I won't fall". I grab both her wrists and pull her to the walkway, before she has a chance to fall or realize, what I'm doing. I'm surprised, how light she is. I start to explain to her in fluent Hungarian, that if she loses her grip ooutside of the walkway, where is she gonna fall? She says "water". And I ask: "and if you lose your grip while on the walkway? Where will you fall then?" She says "to the walkway". I'm happy that she gets it and she is no longer in danger. I'm also surprised a bit, how long of time did I spend on talking to her and explaining to her in a way, so she would understand.

DR2
I'm on a sidewalk in my hometown. There is something about a broken part on some machine. So I go the another machine and take some part from it and try to make it fit to make repairs. I think I succeed.

I was in High school in my ceramics class just waiting for class to start.
When class started, everything was the same as usual, everyone sits down and starts working on their thingy.
But then I saw a wrist band on my wrist which gave me a complete walkthrough of a game that i dont think exists.
I someone found the game inside the room and was able to play it. It started off as a 2d RPG horror game I guess.
I followed the walkthrough until i got to the very end of the game and met some people in the game.
they were all classmates in the dream in the class.
I think what happened was, what ever happened to the character in the game, they would be affected by it to.
For example, If this character in the game was cut, a dream character would also be cut.
I finally reached the final boss and i guess it would be a Martian Manhunter.
He could change forms depending on the area he is in like air, water, rock etc..
First time I faced him, he was an air type so he could go through walls I think.
I beat him and I for some reason, needed to face him again, this time, he was a rock type boss
I beat him again but when I defeated him, I needed to destroy his parts so he wouldn't be able to regenerate.
I beat him again, but this time, I decided to let everyone in the game die.
After everyone died, I beat him and got a different ending.
I was at the beach visiting graves of friends and the he came up behind me and tried to kill me.
Dodged right on time and had to fight him again. Again!?
This time he was water type, and he could appear anywhere all of a sudden.
I couldn't beat him, He got me and then I woke up.

at some place like the utc just wandering around. went through 24 h fitness and my legs were hurting in the dream and when i woke up my legs were kinda sore.

also i dreampt i was in some game store and i finally gota copy of the original mario. he also had al sorts of the original poikemons which i was jazzed about. then earlier in the dream i was with my old pal matt jajeh adn andrew ahern in his old rooml. andrew was being mean from the start so i punched him in the stomache. then i tried to play this version of super smash bros but it was freaking weird like all the caracters were carton version and i wasa thinken. this is not the Super smash bros i no

non lucid
*I keep trying to get my brother and my girlfriend to smoke ganga with me. My girlfriend doesn't want to but me and my brother smoke two bowls to start are day. I said dude let's wake and bake to have an awesome day. I actually in real life haven't smoked in a long time. After we smoke some good stuff, I say sorry to brother for getting mad at him earlier.

Dreaming kids
The kids and I are all sleeping in the same bedroom. We've woken up in the middle of the night, and I want all my kids to go back to sleep. They're anxious to try all the various lucid dreaming induction techniques, but I put my foot down and tell each child to choose one technique, try it, then sleep. I see a list of techniques, with many of them grayed out. I'm particularly worried that the younger ones will fail over and over, start talking about it, and create a big blob of failure that will affect all of us.

- All of us sleeping in the same bedroom


Strange vacation
I'm on vacation with friends. I'm looking through a magazine and run across an article on making the author's favorite beer. The ingredients are very strange, calling for the specialty grains, then lots and lots of hard liqueur. I show it to Jeff, asking what he thinks the author is trying to do and if there's any possible way this could work - wouldn't the alcohol kill off the yeast before it could make beer? Now I'm looking at the candles on the table. They all have a lot of molten wax in them with only a thin ring of solid wax around the rim. One of them finally melts through the last of the solid wax and the molten wax starts pouring out. There's a small tool that's been left with the candles, and it ends up acting as a straw, sucking molten wax from other candles into the pouring one, pouring all the molten wax from all the candles out the one "spout." I point it out to the kids and try to explain what's happening. We like the candles, and I decide that I'll make some for home. I think some homemade candles would be a good Christmas gift for my wife.

Now I'm in a small bathroom talking to a real estate agent on the phone. He's been very, very persistent. I keep trying to get rid of him; but then I realize that it's Wednesday, that my friends have already gone home, and I'll be here until Friday, so I have an entire day to kill. I briefly consider looking at houses with the agent, but I decide against it.

Star Trek makeup
I'm looking at a site talking about Star Trek. It has a post describing the makeup and lighting conditions shows are filmed in, along with what they have to do to get them broadcast ready. I see a group of people in Next Generation uniforms talking and walking around. Their makeup looks terrible, especially the huge amounts of eyeliner under the eyes, and the lighting is bad, reflecting off of their foreheads and casting harsh shadows. I know this is what they have to do to make it look right on film, but it's still unpleasant to look at. A transition "wipes" across the video, comparing what it looks like in real life to what it looks like when it's actually on TV, and it's amazing to see the difference. On the left, the horrible makeup and lighting. On the right, perfect skin tone and lighting, with no sign of anything artificial.

Graduation problem
I'm watching a video of a graduation. People are in a long, long line, winding through a building, waiting to get their diplomas. One guy points to a railing going up some shallow steps, pointing out a spot that's weak and giving a plan to fix it. The videographer is interested, also looking at the spot on the railing and wanting to give the plan a chance. Now I'm with Peter, moving furniture so we can get a large black leather sofa out from its nook. Once we get it out, we carry it to a bedroom so it can be used in the solution to the railing. Once we're there, I see Peter's wife and realize I don't have any pants on; I duck out of sight so as not to offend her.

Lawn danger
I'm on my front lawn, walking up towards the street. I see what looks like a peeled carrot sticking out of the ground, moving around a little. I use a pair of tongs to try to grab it, but it's strong and manages to move away. Now there's a large hole in the ground, revealing the monster beneath. The carrot stick is meant to lure prey towards it. Uncovered, though, it's not much threat. There are other strange creatures on my lawn, including dwarves; all of them are completely harmless.

Now I'm in the front corner of my yard talking with three guys. Something comes up about betrayal. Suddenly, one of them lunges for me, trying to kill me. Neither of us has any fighting training, so we roll around for a while, occasionally delivering a blow. He gets a knife from somewhere and comes very close to slashing me. Somehow I get it away from him and drive it into his chest. I'm glad the fight is over, but I'm devastated that I had to kill someone.

Fragments
Something about a parking deck.

I'm in a house with some people.

I'm in a room with some other folks and we're having what seems to be a really wierd party. Everybody including me is super high and we can barely see each other from all the smoke. All of them are playing with some wierd fireworks, like they put them in a mug of water and they start emitting different colors and smoke.
After a while someone's dad came in the room and asked about all the smoke, but we blamed it on the fireworks and he went away, but he turned of the lights in the room, which is really strange, because lights never worked before in my dreams. Anyways, after that everybody except me and a girl fell asleep.
She asked me if i wanted to lights some fireworks and i agreed, so we went to the balcony and put those wierd sticks in two mugs of water. Mine didn't light, so after calling me stupid for not knowing how these things work she showed me and we both lighted them. Mine was red and hers was green.

Next thing i'm in a gym with a longboard. People are watching some kind of fighting tutorial on a smartphone, so i decide to watch too. And suddenly i find myself in that video, only it's not a tutorial but the real thing. I'm in a forest on a main road and infront of me there is a sign, on the sign there is a bow and arrows, i take them. After walking for a while i see two roads, one that goes up and left and the other right and a bit down. I stop and find myself knee deep in a pond, i still have to choose a road though, my mind is racing. Next thing i know some kids are throwing rocks at me from a tree, so i try to hit them with the bow, but i didn't manage to do that. I have no arrows left and it seems like those kids are gonna kill me. I quickly start practicing a fireball spell and manage to do it, but before i could use it on them i teleported back to the gym.. I was sitting and i stood up for a second a girl and a baby took my spot so i got my longboard and tried to keep a one foot balance on it. I got bored at one point and a man came to me, he told me
"You see those roads? Well by sunset you have to take the right road where it says fire and you're gonna be cool"
Excited i rushed to the roads, there was a sunset already and i had a wooden stick which i was holding like a spear. It was like a videogame, but instead of choosing the right road i went with the left one. After running like a ninja for a while i saw a bunch of abandoned buildings and an abandoned football(soccer) field. I then remembered that someone told me about a party at some abandoned house, but all i could se was tall buildings. I looked around for a while and i reached a security booth, i went to the side of it and inside i saw an Owl with armour and it was playing Worl of Warcraft on a laptop. It saw me look at it and started flapping it's wings. I then started laughing loudly which i guess managed to wake me up IRL

I will edit in a bit from the normal dreams later, too - buut - first:


Something happened!!


The same way, the other two longer episodes came to pass - WILD-try induced DILD.

WBTB after 6h with alarm - I got up and stayed out of bed for about almost half an hour.
I think, this helped me with not being lazy and impatient.
So when I went back to bed to try WILD - I had some persistence - but couldn´t fall asleep.


I went at is less than optimally though - with a mixed up approach throwing together breath-counting and mantras and a bit of SSILD - still unsure how to really go about it.
For a while after the actual efforts - I ended up in a weird state of mind - half-sleeping, but awake and thinking about things.
I sort of enjoyed this - thinking over some real-life stuff in a rather detached manner.
Then came another normal dream, I woke up from that - went to the loo - thought - ah - sleep a little more, which I did.

I was instantly lucid, when the dream started.
No need for nose-plug or anything - I knew it for sure - and almost automatically started hovering.

I felt, the dream was quite unstable - not throughout vivid - only on what I directly concentrated.
I came down on a meadow with some trees and started my remembered stabilizing repertoire.
Hand-looking and rubbing - foot-stomping and going on my knees and smell at the grass - I smelled that.
There was also a bit of clover - so I ate some of it - but it did not taste of anything.

I also shouted "more clarity" and such - didn´t seem to work a lot in this first episode - the shouting something.
I also wasn´t feeling my body except my hands - and those not really either.
The whole thing maybe was only a minute.
I guess it was too late already and I had slept enough.

Woke up - but - was able to immediately fall asleep again and found myself back in lucidity.
It felt like the same dream - but the meadow was out of sight - I hovered over a road.


I thought - okay - take your chances as they come - and tried for the snowman-task:

It was summer - I hovered over a street and then flew on a bit - shouting as loud as I could "snow" "I want it to snow" for a little while.
This - and the little one before - were the first LDs where I tried shouting something, by the way.
And with summoning snow it worked a treat.
Started snowing and more and more and some snow lay on the ground finally too.
So - down I went to a place where there was a bit more of it.
When I grabbed some of this snow - it was really cold and felt like snow!

Funny thing is - there were two children sitting close by - and they had snow on their heads and faces.
As if they had just sat there in the quite thick snowing for half an hour or so.
It was a bit more snow than I first saw covering the ground.
So - I took this snow from their heads to start building - they were looking a bit weird at me - but didn´t complain.
Meanwhile - there was more snow everywhere and I built a snowman - good size - but only snow.
I was feeling the dream collapse - there was no time to decorate it or give it a face or anything - but I stood a bit in front of it - visuals fading - and tried willing him alive before I wake up again.
But no - it started melting a bit, only..
Next time!!



Sooo - very happy - and I feel this WBTB DILD inducing is going to work better, the better I manage the timing - and maybe finally a WILD too.
Time for a little bliss:

I am at a Rolling Stones concert!Only it's at a pub and they're not really the Rolling Stones, but a bunch of kids i've never even seen before.There are like 10 of them 6 boys and 4 girls. And for some odd reason i really believe that they are the real thing. They are playing on the second floor, and there is like a big square hole in the middle of it and through it you can see the first floor which is also full of fans. But anyways i'm standing behind this hot chick and having the time of my life, at one point they played a song twice and actually started explaining why they did, but i didn't care, because while this was happening i was hugging with that cute girl, nothing else, just hugging, but it felt so damn good.It's amazing how nobody managed to fall through the hole, given the fact they were all drunk...

Now I'm at my friend Maxi's house and we are looking at the top of his garage. It's very different though it's in the middle of the forrest and looks nothing like his house, not to mention that there is a basement that's not even in the house but rather to the right of the house. He tells me that we should put a kicker up there and try to skate it. Without any hesitation i agree and we then head down the basement, which looks exactly like every basement you see in those movies about the american suburbs.

Next thing I'm in my home town... well not really it's a completely different place, but i just have the feeling i'm in my town. It's divided in sectors, much like the hunger games, between each one there is a deep forest with no path through it. I'm in the western sector and i'm looking for my neighbours' house, the western sector is much higher than the rest and that provided a spectacular view. Anyways after walking through the small and narrow streets for a while i encountered two football(soccer) hooligans, and they started asking me questions about my neighbours' house in a really unfriendly tone. At this point i remember i had a memory about their house being in the eastern sector, but i still didn't know how to get there. The mean guys asked me for a cigar and then left.

I'm back at Maxi's house again, only this time there is a kicker on the roof of his garage, but... it's put on the wrong side.. which makes it pretty much useless... then his mom came out of the house and started explaining to me why the kicker was put up like that, i didn't really care so i didn't listen, after she finished the long and boring explanation, she said "Follow me" So i did and we ended up in that basement again...
Then i woke up.

My family is going to have a get together to celebrate my little sister's pending new child. I am in charge of bringing some nice plates. I have ordered them online and they have just arrived. I take the cardboard box with me to my mother's house where the party will be held. She isn't expecting me so soon, so I sneak into the house to surprise her. I don't see her. I open the cardboard box. Instead of the fancy porcelain dinner plates I had ordered, they sent me cheap paper plates with flowers around the raised edge. I worry what my family will think. I decide to show them to my mother to see if she can suggest somewhere nearby I can buy replacements. As I walk into her bedroom, I see a newly assembled crib for the baby. There's a large cardboard box on the bed that the crib parts must have come in. Her big brown dog Hoover yawns at me from across the foot of the bed, and I see my mother's feet peeking out from behind the far side of the crib box.

i think I had two dreams. One of which was with my friend from middle school, T, and another guy from middle school who I forget, I think he was E, and we were in a combination of my school's library and Computer class. In the first part, I was recommending them both to read Worm, but T already knew what it was. Then we went to the computers.

In the other dream, (I forgot which one came first) I had someone break into my house. They came in a black van. I booked it to my neighbor's bringing my dog with me.

I was in some sort of class, but it was outside. We did a few things, but I can only remember the details of the ending: we filled a big container with Mountain Dew. The container's sides touched the walls. Then, there was some problem with a wall and water was flowing into our yard that we were in. The class attempted to fix the issue by pushing on the side of the building. As my friends and I were wandering and talking, we heard a sound. We immediately realize that the Mountain Dew container had broken and that the class's pushing had squeezed it until it broke. We saw the rushing river of soda and ran to warn the class, but it was too late. As the two fluids were about to hit...

The dream ended.
