non-lucid

We were at the property of our old rental house but inside a different house. I screamed at my mom telling her that I hate how I look now, my face is oily and my hair is too short. I went in to the bathroom, stood in front of the sink and mirror. I turned to my right and saw a shelf with four bottles, telling by the picture, they were Lavender, Coconut, Brown Sugar and the other was something I've never seen before. I found out that they were lotions by reading the labels. I picked up the brown sugar one and used it like a scrub, it worked like one too! My family saw me through the open door (it was closed before) and made fun of me telling me that it won't change me. I snapped back that I'm just cleaning the oil off my face cause it's uncomfortable. --- I was at a pool party, right outside of my house. I was inside of a smaller pool with my friend (DC) while others were at the main pool. A blue haired girl (DC) was at the center of our pool, she floated in and out of water, playing around. We were then naked for some reason, I was suprisingly not embarrassed about it. I started to think of how the landlady's younger son used to live in my current house. I looked in the direction of my house and realized that he lives right next to my old house, he never once lived in my current house (he lives with his family in RL). The front door of his house was open so I took a peek, there were two bedrooms, and I thought to myself "Do he even use the other bedroom?" (I saw the inside of his house while still being at the pool). The host/landlady (had a HUGE fight with my mom in RL) came out to announce something with her back facing me so I turned my face to hope that she won't notice me if she look around. I quietly got out the water, still naked and ran toward a room. I grabbed my swimsuit and ran inside the bathroom and changed. I got to the gate of the house and found my mom waiting for me in a car across the street. I went up to the car and found my stepdad and his sisters in the car too. I stood by the window asking them questions. I saw the landlady standing near the gate so I got in the car quickly but before I can even close the door, she noticed us. My mom got out to greet her and they were really nice to each other. --- We were on the road with the older sister driving us (she can't drive in RL). We went down a hill really fast and I held the back of my seat in panic. (I hate even the slightest track bump in RL, so imagine the hill)

07/23/2012
12AM-10AM

• One dream where easter was ALL fucked up: not enough bees apparently, so the spring flowers were a bit trim all around. There was also an easter candy shortage which just pissed me right the hell off
• Then me and Danny had a stupid fight (which should have made me lucid because we never fight irl, not like that), and then he gradually morphed into my first husband. I remember thinking at that moment, how unusually mature my first husband was behaving (which was because he was still Danny on the inside I'm guessing).
• A quick peak at the space jockeys from Prometheus and Alien. I also have the distinct feeling that one tried to have sex with me, but was having trouble with his aim (because in his world, they had engineered the women into oblivion, and only males existed. They created more males in labs, but there was no more sex because there were no more women. Until they met me. And there must have been some kind of hyper-awareness on their part, because they could sense my pheromones on a really high level, which switched back on their natural desire to reproduce. I apparently didn't mind lol. I admit I'm connecting the dots a bit here, I just remember briefly having this knowledge in the brief moment that I was with one them. I remember specifically having to angle my hips a little because his aim was slightly to the left. He had no idea where he was going. I'm ready for this advanced TOTM already. So much to teach them ).

Supplement Dose: 10 mg Melatonin, 50 mg Zinc

Spoiler for Why I Took These Supplements:

I've decided to start a new experimental regimen. I've been doing a lot of thinking about the connections between hallucinogens and dreaming, especially after doing a lot of research and testing with menthol, and what it's really brought me to is the relationship between dopamine and prolactin. As far as I can tell, dopamine is like the chemical of the subconscious.... It connects us to our thoughts and desires, brings our imaginations to life. Prolactin, on the other hand, controls how much desire we actually have, and I mean that on a rather deep, subconscious level. Dopamine and prolactin are normally inversely correlated, but they can both be active at the same time. My theory was that having both dopamine and prolactin going would make for a more general enhancement of a dream or hallucinatory experience, but it would also make them rather wild and uncontrollable, or at the very least impulsive. Dopamine, however, while it is very impulsive in its own right, would allow for an experience that more naturally formed around our desires when not inhibited by prolactin.

For example, I recently decided to do research into the pro- or anti-prolactinergic effects of various psychedelics. The well-known ones that I've experimented with that I was able to find information on include DMT, psilocin (from mushrooms), and LSD. DMT and psilocin each give me trips that are totally uncontrollable, and often are alien and bizarre. Psilocin gives me me a considerably more "connected" trip than DMT, and is often very sexual and shows me amazing visions that do reflect my subconscious, but overall it's more like I'm going along for the ride than anything. LSD is a totally different story. Whenever I'm on LSD, reality forms to my desires without me even having to do anything; the world simply bends and twists until it's reshaped itself to explore my every fantasy. It's not a conscious method of control like using powers in a lucid dream, it works on the subconscious level in the sense that the dream-like state itself is formed in exactly the way that you would form it if you were doing it manually, and since it's just happening for you and your subconscious is creating it it's even better than you could possibly create with your conscious mind. Unsurprisingly (to me, anyway), DMT and psilocin increase prolactin levels, while LSD decreases them.

So how does this apply to the supplements? Well, I got to thinking.... Menthol raises prolactin levels and potentiates D2 responses. This is why I believe it creates some of the same connection to desires as dopamine (like the sexual effects), but it also makes them more sensual than fiendish, and it adds lots of visual effects like RobStar commonly mentions. It also definitely does make me more impulsive while lucid, and there's certainly nothing wrong with this; the "pure" sexual feeling is one I've already grown quite fond of. However, I still have the desire to test my theories further and see what a high-dopamine/low-prolactin state of dreaming would be like. This is difficult to do normally.... Drugs that increase prolactin tend to increase REM (like menthol), whereas drugs that increase dopamine tend to decrease REM. However, that doesn't mean there's not a way around it. The plus side is that increased dopaminergic activity itself will decrease prolactin levels if unopposed, so all that's really required is to find a way to raise dopamine levels and increase REM at the same time.

That's where the supplements come in. Melatonin directly opposes the effects of dopamine, particularly at D2, to suppress REM and induce non-REM sleep. Therefore, the REM rebound effect it creates later is the result of a direct increase in the dopaminergic activity of dreams to make up for lost time. So that's how that works. Zinc is another cool one, I think. Zinc is an NMDA antagonist, and this alone may add something to it but it's not my main goal; however, it does mean that chronic use of zinc will upregulate D2 receptors, and that should make for more enhanced dreaming overall. In addition, zinc appears to be a positive allosteric modulator of dopamine receptors, especially D1 and D2. This means that it doesn't actually provide any effects by itself and will not create a dopaminergic response (i.e., it won't wake you up), but it will enhance the ability of agonists at the receptor such as dopamine to create their response. So in other words, it makes the dopamine at those receptors more effective. It's also known to decrease prolactin levels with continued use. Together, I believe these two supplements, especially in chronic use, may be able to give me the kinds of effects I'm looking for. I'm also planning to add new ones to the stack to increase the effect, such as vitamin B6 to increase the production of dopamine where the brain needs it, and vitamin E to further reduce prolactin levels. I'm also considering going on the no fap challenge during this (which is why I've listed the entry as "Day 0", as I'm already unable to officially start today) so that my dopamine receptors become more sensitive and my daily prolactin levels drop. Hopefully, this will turn out to be a very successful endeavor and give me dreams that are more tailored to my desires without me even having to intervene!

#1 - Latex And Superpowers [Non-Lucid]

There was a lot going in this dream leading up to this point, but where my memory really comes in was at a cafeteria on a college campus. I was really late for lunch so even though I looked around a bit I didn't really get to eat anything. At one point I went and waited by a doorway for M who was apparently on the other side of the wall but being held up by something, and it randomly occurred to me that I was wearing something like this:

Though, I can't remember if it was those colors exactly; I didn't pay much attention to myself. Two other girls walked up also wearing latex outfits and heels and I recognized them as more friends of M. Eventually the three of us decided to go see what was taking M so long and "get her out of trouble". (I wrote that in my notes, followed by "(they thought she was too young)", but I'm not exactly sure what it means now.) After a short talk I guess I forgot about M, and my friend J walked up and tried to kiss me on the cheek, which really weirded me out considering that it was coming from him. Our mutual friend S who was a grade below us in school was there too, and she claimed that she decided to get "happy and drunk". I randomly jumped up on her back so she was giving me a piggyback ride, and I told her that with me there we'd be able to phase through walls so she didn't have to worry about that. We started walking through walls randomly and talking about college, but around that time the dream was starting to become unstable, and soon I woke up.

Visualization came extremely easily after this dream. I probably could've done a WILD if I wanted to, but I was sort of focused on something when I woke up.

#2 - The Amazing Future Smeargle [Non-Lucid]

This entire dream took place in third-person, and thus a lot of it is hard to recall now. I had the feeling that I was playing some new Pokémon game, but it was just that the screen was taking up my entire perception. Essentially, the plot was about some insanely powerful Smeargle who was completely dominating all of the Pokémon in the world in the future, and so the legendary beasts sent it back in time to get rid of it, but as a result others followed it to continue trying to beat it while certain organizations were trying to capture it for themselves. By this point in the game I already had it on my team, along with a few other fully-trained Pokémon, but I can't really remember what they were now (but I do remember something about fighting the legendary beasts). The Smeargle really was kicking ass; I'm pretty sure its moves were Fire Blast, SolarBeam, I want to say maybe Earthquake, and something else I don't quite recall now.... A terrible spread, but it was doing pretty well in-game. X) Not long after a battle ended, I woke up.

Also, thanks for the idea for this, RobStar. It's going to come in handy.

Spoiler for Preliminary Reflections:

Alright, so day 0.... The first dream interests me the most, though the second one is worth noting too. I haven't really had third-person dreams of that caliber in a while now, and I have to wonder if that was related to increased D2 activity. Melatonin has definitely given me some OBE-like dreams before. But, like I said, it's the first dream that I find really significant. First of all, this is the second time recently where I've felt that consequences weren't quite so important and just jumped on someone's back. However, in the first one I was trying to be playful, even if I was doing so in sort of an odd way, and I had reason to believe that nothing mattered because I was "back in time". In this one I just totally didn't care at all, and I knew that we'd be able to phase through walls easily. The rules of reality definitely didn't apply to me in this dream, and I was aware of it somehow. At no point did I become lucid, at least not fully if this counts at all. It was more of a... "this is my reality" type of feeling. Furthermore, there's the matter of the latex outfits.... It's entirely possible that this is just incubation from the sexy hawt females thread, but nothing of that sort has ever really happened to me before. I can say for sure that the incidence of myself and other girls wearing those outfits increasing definitely correlates with what I would expect from increased dopamine and decreased prolactin (and it in fact extremely accurately reflects some of my LSD experiences ).

So, of course, this is only the very first trial, and it's far too early to say anything yet. However, those are my current thoughts. I can't wait to see what kind of dreams I have tonight!

I am on the computer in the process of buying something from someone over the internet. i use my moms E-mail to communicate with them while i also try to hide it from my mom. when the seller asks "whats your credit info" i decide not to buy it and i then delete all the messages and close the window. on my i-pod i tell the seller not to email me anymore and he replies "i just sent another E-mail." (this dream fades out and another begins) i now find myself in an indoor area with my friend Dillan. the walls are made of cement and on my hand i wear a gantlet (that i recently made in waking life) we are surrounded by large unknown creatures. we run to a door way and are stopped by two very large snake / worm like creatures, one low to the ground like a sleeping bag, pulsing in color (mainly red and green) and the other white, more tube like than the other. i pull out a incredibly short bow and begin firing at the red and green one as they both slither and inch towards me. Dillan yells "stop shooting at the green one look at the white one!" i run through the doorway and close the door, but it has a open space above it. and i shoot at whatever comes through (we eventually escape these two creatures although i do not recall how) He then tells me "the senra stole my cloth" i walk away and with my gantlet i punch a tall white to clear humanoid creature in the leg as hard as i can, the leg comes off and the creature falls over as well. i then pick up the leg, throw it over my shoulder and give it to my friend. (*this dream now fades and and a third comes into focus) all i can remember is someone at my house useing my I-pod because they are board.

Surfing

I saw monster wave. It was hundreds of feet long and a couple stories tall. I found where I could approach it and not already be in the tube. I never saw my surf board. It may have been a make-shift surf board.

I approached the wave and ended up behind it so I could catch up and ride it. I rode it for a second, though it wasn't really vivid. I didn't get to enjoy it so much.

I rode the wave in a little. Now someone was with me. We were riding the wave where it took us which was not exactly to shore. It took us to where water was coming from another direction as a river. The two waterways merged and we just had to keep our balance. The water was muddy like the Colorado.

Cable

We bought a $50 cable package and we had such a variety of shows to watch, but I was concerned about the money we'd be spending. I saw the program listings, not any shows.

I have no desire to get cable iwl.

Ron J.

I was in some kind of resort and Ron J. was there. I asked for his autograph. I found out he did water colors and asked if he would make a watercolor painting for me. He said they were all just water colors or something like that. I told him that's what water colors ARE. I asked if he would do one for me and sign it. Then I would have a painting and an autograph.

He said "I might just do a parallelogram or something. Maybe some other shape." I was a little disappointed, but I figured, if that's what he does, then so be it.

Dream One (Fragment): I'm with a bunch of people in some sort of storm. We're taking cover around a bridge or building with columns or something. I'm lucky that I survive the storm, and then go to try and find survivors to help.

Dream Two (Fragment): All I can remember is seeing an ex-boyfriend with some chic. The chic and I are talking, and she's very suspicious of me and doesn't want me to talk to him because she has no idea who I am. I tell her she doesn't have to worry, I don't want anything to do with him because I dated him once and he was an asshole.

Dream Three: I'm outside a city gate, it reminds me of Venice in Assassins Creed II, everything is old and there's water everywhere. For some reason I know I'm banned from this city, but I want back in. I have my kids with me. I tell them to stay put behind a small house, and I go about trying to figure out how to sneak into the city. I find a tower, and start to climb it, but then see guards coming, so I shimmy around tot he back of the tower, then climb up and back down. On the tower I saw that I could hop across some poles in the water to get back into the city. I make my way back to my kids to tell them, and I see my husbands ex-fiance there with her kids and husband. She stops me and asks me why I'm there since I'm banned from the city. I tell her I was just looking around trying to figure out how to get my things that are left in the city. She offers to help, but I decline saying I'll figure it out. Then I tell the kids about the poles, and we hop across the river and make our way to our home in the city avoiding guards surprisingly easy as we go.

Dream Four: I'm in a car with my kids and there is a man driving. He has long dark hair and facial hair, and I'm pretty sure he's supposed to be Ezio. He's telling me that as long as the men who are hunting me are alive, there's no where my kids and I can be safe except by his side. He drives onto the interstate, then rams into the back of a limo causing the limo to swerve, then tip over and roll a few times. He quickly exits off a ramp to the right that curves under the interstate, and parks the car under the bridge. Then He tells us we're going to go finish him. We follow him at a distance as he walks up the embankment and makes like a concerned citizen and acts like he's helping the dude out of the limo, but instead he shoots the man and then we get back in the car. We drive to a college, and get out. Ezio seems to think the next target is a professor in the building. We go inside, and then Ezio slips into a classroom and my kids and I stand against a wall and try to look like we belong there. After a while, I realize it's taking Ezio a long time and something must be wrong. I don't hear any shouts or screaming so I know there's nothing bad going down, but I wonder if he needs a way out, so I peek my head into the classroom and motion to him. He comes out and grabs my little little girl and pics her up and asks her if she missed him, acting like a father would. We move away from the classroom and to a bench, and he thanks us for giving him an excuse to escape and giving him cover by making him look like a family man and not an assassin. He believes that his target has figured him out. He kisses the top of my forehead and thanks me for coming to his aid. People are walking all around us at this point, but ignoring us completely. There's a table nearby with a bunch of men in suits talking, and a couple of skinny chics in flight attendant outfits walk by. Then I see a guy with dress pants and a pink button up shirt with a tie walking with another man. I know the pink shirt guy is the target, and he's got a folder open and showing it to the other man. He's telling the other man that he swears that the assassin walked into his classroom this morning and tried to kill him, he was lucky that the assassin was interrupted by the witch and her children pretending to be his family. The other man laughs at this idea, and tells him that assassins don't do jobs after they have settled into a family life, and that he probably just saw a man who looked like the assassin with his family. Ezio pushes me gently forwards on the bench, and I take that as my cue to get the kids and start moving. I walk right past the guy in the pink shirt, and am careful to catch his eye as I do so. He looks at me and turns pale then starts to say, "There she..." But he's cut off when he's shot by Ezio's secret gun. Everyone screams, and so do I, then I make like I'm trying to cover my children with my body to protect them from more shots, even though I know there will be no more. Ezio comes running and acts like the concerned husband, trying to block up from gun fire, asking if we're ok, and then finally telling us to run in case the shooter returns. We run a few hundred feet away to a bridge over the lower floor. We stand there close enough to still see where the target is laying dead, but far enough that we don't look like anything more than curious bystanders. Ezio starts to thank me for being a distraction and giving him his opening, but I wake up in mid-sentence.

I walked out of a door. I apparently just left my classroom. Someone was also with me, I don't know how, but I just knew she was a close friend. I couldn't remember her face though.

I slammed the classroom door shut behind us. I had the feeling that we were the last ones in the building. We started walking toward the stairs, but suddenly the door I just closed started to open by itself. I remember hearing the slow creaking sound too. "What's happening?", my friend asked. "I don't know, I closed it I swear!!", I replied. Wide-eyed, we looked at each other for a second, then dashed for the stairs. I shoved her aside so I could go down first (move b*tch! lol).

I'm pretty sure we were on the 4th floor. So I thought "Man, 3 more floors to go!". My friend had caught up with me by that time, so we went down together. We were still panicking because of the ghost opening the door upstairs.

We reached the first floor finally, and on our way out, I could see some of our other classmates waiting for us in the distance. My friend went ahead and ran to them. I was going to, but I noticed a little boy standing just outside the door. I went to him and told him to get out of there, because there was a ghost. He said it wasn't true, and that ghosts weren't real. I was flailing my arms at him, trying to get him to come with me. He wouldn't listen though, so I just left him and ran to my classmates.

When I arrived, they asked, "Who were you talking to?".

I said, "The boy won't listen to me! I told him to get away from there!".

Then they said the creepiest thing.

"What boy? There was nobody there. You were talking to yourself."

O___________O

I went to bed around midnight (kinda late for me) and woke up at some point during the night due to a thunderstorm. I fell back asleep not long after it passed and had the first dream I remember from last night. It was about the Doctor (the Eleventh Doctor, to be specific). I was watching in third-person, by the way. Anyway, he went into this weird, cartoon-like place. It became realistic fairly quickly, and then there was some epic battle I can barely recall between the Doctor and some guy I'm assuming was a bad guy.

I woke up again at 6:30 and decided to go back to sleep. This time, I dreamed that I WAS the Doctor... and I was just outside at my church. I went around to the side of the building (which is actually my friend's backyard; she's the pastor's daughter and lives next door to the church. Their backyard essentially doubles as church property) to find the TARDIS and Amy Pond. I found the TARDIS right where I expected and entered it. Unlike on the show, it was NOT bigger on the inside. Anyway, for some reason, I got mad at Amy (who had apparently been allowed to fly the TARDIS) for leaving it out in the rain (I'm not sure why; besides, it was barely even raining).

(It's not really surprising my mind would dream up something like that, seeing as I went to church yesterday and then watched Doctor Who later. Well, it is a bit odd that I was the Doctor, though... I'm almost ALWAYS myself in dreams.)

I woke up to find it was only 6:45. I drifted off to sleep yet again and woke up without recalling any dreams... or so I thought. I noticed a big Pikachu bead sprite on my wall and couldn't remember it ever being there, so I looked at my hand to see if I was dreaming. I counted five fingers, concluded that I wasn't dreaming, and picked up my iPod to check the time. Well, whatever the time was, it wasn't 103:53. Now, I knew I that I WAS dreaming after all. After the two attempts it took to unlock my iPod (it glitched up the first time), I noticed that I had some apps I don't have in real life as well as a different background. The background was bright orange. Upon closer inspection, I realized it had a picture with rather a lot of text over the top (also in orange, but in a different shade). I tried to read what it said but discovered that it was all in gibberish.

I put my iPod down and sat up, ready to try some dream control. Despite having full (or, at the very least, a lot of) control over myself, it didn't occur to me at the time that I had immediate LD goals (i.e., completing the TOTM and meeting my dream guide), so I just decided to do the first thing that came to mind. I closed my eyes. 'When I open my eyes, I will be in... Skyloft!' I thought to myself, naming the first fictional place that came to mind. I opened my eyes, a bit disappointed that I was still in my room.

I remembered that some people unintentionally wake up when they close their eyes, so I checked my iPod again to make sure I was still dreaming. It still said the time was 103:53. I was still dreaming. Being one who likes to sleep in in the mornings, I laid back down and closed my eyes, finding myself back in reality shortly after.

- This dream was weird. I was with a bunch of friends from band, except we never did any playing, just hanging around. What made this dream weird was that people kept dying off left and right. First, for some reason these two people were re-enacting a final battle scenario from a typical RPGs, and both ended up dying. After that, my friend Eric died driving drunk. Apparently in my dream his mother was an old crazy lady, as she was totally blind, and when he died people said she had stopped "hearing" the voices. After that I ended meeting a person I met on the internet named Tommy Kain. He seemed like a cool, if somewhat perverted dude. I went to sleep and woke up at around 4 AM, turned on the TV, sure enough, it said that Tommy Kain had died of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. Whenever I turned on the TV they showed old videos of him as if he was a Hollywood celebrity. There was a bit more to the dream, I'll try to update it later.

A few years ago, I had a dream I was standing in the street... I got randomly hit by a speeding vehicle, but instead of getting splattered on the pavement or waking up, I was launched into the air, still in standing position, (here's where I become semi-lucid) then I notice how far I am from the ground, (actually about triple the height of telephone poles), but instead of freaking out, I just crossed my arms and said "Is this really supposed to scare me?" Just after I said that, everything turned distorted, like it was television, and someone was messing with the antenna. Then everything went dark for a few seconds, and I woke up. Before I had that dream, I was terrified of heights. Now... They don't bother me in the least. Has anyone else had this sort of experience? Like, gotten over a fear in a dream?

this one was kind of like a tv show... But all I remember is that there was this guy tied to this fence, and some other guy was trying to get the guy on the fence to reveal important information. the man not on the fence threatened the other with a shovel...like...about to hit him, but then the man on the fence spoke what sounded to me like gibberish. but apparently, the most important information desired was just the words "The Simulation Gestgeme". (my brain made up another word, it seems -_-) As soon as that information was revealed, the man with the shovel backed down, said something, and then walked away, leaving the other man on the fence. A third DC came along somehow and i remember him saying to the man that had the shovel "Now forgive me for not knowing all this oogly boogly stuff, but what the hell is a Simulation Gestgeme...?! "

That's all I remember...

My Dream Recall ability is definitely improving

i was coach in some weird competition and some dude told me to ask this Asian person to join my team and i did and felt confident.for some reason this guy is good at foot ball but somebody tells me im playing basketball and im like oh shit.for some reason even though the game is called basketball its more like tennis with baseball bats .the other team was winning until some idiot made them lose points.when we won everything changed to anime style and our team leader got a golden monkey .the idiot got this weird monkey the knocked him to space and punched him back down.hen the competitins sponsor showed off some weird coloured pools that were supposed to do cool stuff. the first one was shit and dint work .the idiot jumped in the third one and turned to a skeleton.the sponsor asked me to get some flowers to test the second one .i go to get some but i end up in a shop with some lady asking me if i want a toy car.

I ate my breakfast (which I always eat at school), but I ate it at home.


After I remembered the dream I asked myself why I had it because I wasn't hungry...

Awareness - 7 / 10
Control - 4 / 10

The first thing I remember is that I pulled up in the parking lot at the local Sonic for lunch. (probably because that is really what I had for lunch earlier yesterday. lol) Anyways, I pulled up, got out of the car, and went inside. I remember opening the doors and holding them for some elderly lady and her grandkids. Then I went inside and got in line. The place was pretty busy. As I made my way to the counter to place my order, the cashier informed me of a contest to design thier next menu item. I thought I might as well try so I got my foot long chili dog w/ Dr. Pepper and got a table.

As I was sitting there I studied the menu, looking for areas where it appeared my entry would stand out. As I was scanning, I noticed that they didn't sell a double cheeseburger!! I was amazed. How could a fast food joint not serve a double? Anyways, I decided my entry would be a simple double cheeseburger with a large fry and a drink. I finished eating and got up. Then the dream kind of seemed to just fast foward to the next day.

Anywyas, I pulled up in the same spot and got out of my car. Not only did I have the entry paperwork, i had gone and made my own double cheeseburger with fries and a drink! I carried my precious cargo into the restaraunt, and it felt like I did this every day. I started to get that feeling where you just start to question what the heck you are doing, but then decide it is perfectly logical anyways. So in I went with my meal and placed it on the counter for the cashier to examine. In the dream it seemed like I already knew I was going to win the contest and sure enough, I had won. I didn't seem to be concerned with the prize and asked the cashier if I could have the cheesburger back. He said he would need it for a few minutes to show the cook and then he brought it back. I figured I may as well be the first one to eat a cheesburger named after me and then went and got a table.

As I sat down, the dream scene changed slightly. I was still in the same restaraunt and everything, but outside it got really cloudy and stormy all of a sudden. Then it started raining really hard. At this point I am really close to becoming lucid because i start wondering how the weather changed that fast. Then suddenly, I hear the tornado siren go off. For some reason I come to the conclusion that I am in Arizona however and am not worried because I didn't think Arizone had tornado's. Then however, the roof suddenly lifted off and the wind began blowing, sucking everyone out with it. I was the only one left and I was hunkered down between the boot seats, clinging on for dear life. Then for just a spit second I became lucid. I realized I was dreaming because I couldn't really feel the wind blowing on me and I actually seemed to be able to hold on fairly easily, despite the storm ripping the roof off. It literally was only for a second though because then I think a piece of debris came and smacked me in the face and I woke up.

Althought it wasn't lucid for about 99% of the time, it was still at least a good dream in that it was clear and easy to recall this morning.

Current lucid dream goals...
-Stabalize the dream each time I become lucid
-See how fast I can run and if it is consistent
-Meet someone special I have been wanting to for a long time now

See ya!

#1 - I was standing in the middle of a city street that was closed. It was dusk and it the city seemed to be somewhat old and I was in an abandoned part of town. Anyways, all I remember was something about recycling a bunch of old cars.

#2 - I was riding my motorcycle through the mountains on vacation. I remember stopping at a gas station that was pretty much by itself along this road I was traveling on. After filling up I went to get back on my bike and noticed another store going up. I went over and looked and it was a Sonic / Sega gift shop. (kind of a wierd place for something like that but I still thought it was pretty cool) Anyways, I decided to go in. (the store was now randomly open). I must of woken up at this point because that is all I remember.
