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

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

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

(will be revised for format and grammar later)

There were two ultimately important dreams I had last night, above whatever dream fragments I witnessed. The first was a quite lucid dream of me walking the streets of a city. I knew very well that I was dreaming, and instead of trying to do a bunch of amazing things all at once, I decided to take my time and explore the area. I watched the buildings smowly pass by, noticing that they seemed rather indistinct from one another. I continued to enjoy my venture, allowing myself to think about how much life I can experience if I continue to dream as lucidly as possible. Plenty during waking, and even more during sleep. … The second part of this, I found myself in the lawn of aomeone elses house (or mine), and I wanted to jump up to a tree branch to get a view of the city. I succeeded easily to ignore gravity and float up to a tall branch of an even taller tree. I wanted to fly next, but in my attempt, I could not convince myself that I could; for what little gravity there was, I could not let go of it. So instead, I landed on the ground once more, feet touching grass.

My second dream consisted of me either out amongst a field, or in a city, when I find a peculiar staircase leading downward, decently far (about two stories), and I enter this very nicely furnished bunker, with red carpeting, bright lights, beige/white walls with small designs. I felt as if I stumbled upon an unknown place of solitude. I decided to make myself at home, and start living there. For some reason, there may have been either suvivalism out in the wilderness, or a post-apocalyptic theme to why I decided to live here. I spend about two days (in representation) living in this place, enjoying its facilities. One night, I was sleeping in the bedroom, with the front door open, overlooking the main door from down the hallway, and I was very paranoid. What if someone entered this vast place in the middle of the night while I was sleeping? What if mthis place was so vast that there were already people living in another part of this place, and they could not be trusted? I got out of bed, and tried to secure the doors franticly. I was very afraid in this place, and felt that it may render me insane if I let it get to me. I found myself a gun amongst a dresser, and attempted to load it, despite only having two bullets. I stores it somewhere and went back to sleep. … A night later, in dreamtime, I was awoken by a plethora of gunshots. I thought they were coming from above me. I heard screaming, and frantic noises. I saw a few bullets penetrate the ceiling, and I freaked out. I grabbed my gun, and out of the interest of not wanting to face any of the mess if it came down, or see anybody in case they were abruptly hostile, I ran to the womens bathroom, and hid in a stall, and closed the door. I heard the noises getting louder, knowing that they were entering. I heard footsteps of someone entering the bathroom, and tensed up. They managed to cross my stall, and gaze into it. … It was a woman my age, and see seemed very lighthearted, and calm “Whoops” … I relaxed a bit, and decided to slip out of the stall as a few more women passed by. I asked what the commotion was, and they said that they were fleeing because there was a nearby prison break and a few guys escaped. There was a guy with them, asking me if I had any hot soup for him, and I figured, why not get him some? … However, I look across the stall walls that separated the stalls from the exit (like a wrap around), and two large, burly, and seemingly agitated men entered the bathroom, with an aura of fear cast across the room. I knew these two were the ones they were running from, and in order to keep them from flipping out on us, I offered to make them a bowl of hot soup. They were receptive to the idea, and let me approach without being too hostile at first. That is when I pulled out my gun, and pointed it at one of them, telling them to back into the corner. They did so, with sinister grins on their faces. As I came around to the other side of the stall wall, one of them grabbed for his weapon, and I shot at him. I hit his leg, causing him to barrel over and go down, and he attempted to shoot me with his gun. I k new I had only one bullet left, so I did the best to avoid his shot, and aim at him correctly, aiming down the sight. My second shot missed, which prompted me to charge forward, slam his hand with my pistol, and then get atop of him, and pistol wip him until he was unconscious. Suddenly, the second, even more burly man grabbed me around the back from behind as I was trying to leave th bathroom, and stabbed me in the stomach area. I took the blow, as I also took his weapon, pulled it out, and began stabling him behind me. While disabling him, it wasn’t enough o kill him, so I decided to stab him over and over again until he was dead. As for me,… I knew I only had about an hour left to live. I gave a narration in my head about “This was it. This was my end. Bunker. Bathroom stall. Hot soup. Stabbed!” … I decided that I did not want to suffer dying over an hour, so I decided to find what was left of the blade that stabbed me, and attempted to slip my wrists, unsuccessfully. At a particular moment, I thought to myself that perhaps I should be carefull, because I began to correlate the dream to something that was possiblty happening in waking, and I didn’t not want to accidentally slit my wrists IRL through some dumb miracle.

This dream has been very random and was very long, but I remember most of it.

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

I'm working with a couple of friends to move a bunch of old junk vehicles from a junkyard to a large field near my house. I ride to the yard with a friend, then we get into a couple of the old junkers and try to start them. I get into an old yellow Volvo and it fires right up. My friend gets into a blue Chevy Blazer and it fires up too. The Volvo was pretty beat up and had yellow painted plywood for wheel covers.

We start driving these junkers down the road toward the field. We bump into each other a couple of times, then try to drag race. Shortly into the race, the Volvo sputters out and quits running. We try to jump start it and push start it, but it's dead. I decide to abandon the Volvo along the side of the road and get into the Blazer with my friend.

We drive down a small gravel lane and find that it's blocked by a gate. There is a bypass around the gate, so we go around and drive down the lane. There are a couple of old houses and a bunch of junk laying along the road. After driving for a bit, we reach a huge pile of junk that's blocking the road. We get out and walk around, poking at the junk pile a bit.

As we're trying to figure out a way around the junk pile, a defensive dog approaches from the nearby house. The dog runs up and stops at the edge of the lane, barking fiercely at us. A guy in the distance yells at the dog and it turns around and walks away. The guy walks up and asks us, “Where are you going?” I reply, “We're trying to find a way around this pile of junk.” The guy says, “There is no way around the junk pile.”

We get back into the Blazer and prepare to drive off. This time, I decided it was my turn to drive, so we switched seats. I start it up, put it in gear and mash the pedal to the floor. The tires spin for a moment, then it starts picking up speed. I see a Jeep coming toward us, so I steer toward it, playing Chicken. The Jeep swerves away and hits the embankment, nearly rolling over. I continue to speed up and drive straight toward a step van. The van doesn't swerve, but just before hitting the van, I wake up.

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

Aeolar's Dream







I am with this other guy that I found on YouTube, and he is showing me this new Terraria update where they let you build roller coasters. I spawned in his house, and he said that he was collecting Singers & Dancers; they were actually Zombies and Red Demons. As I’m inspecting his house, I saw a bookshelf with 8 books from Hogwarts with various characters’ names on them. There was an aura of argument over these books, and they were arguing about if they were legit or not.
Now, we go down into his basement, and we get on his roller coaster. It was intense. There were parts where we almost fell off while we were upside down, and there were gaps that we had to jump over too. Once we finished, we had to kill this woman that was “The boss”, but we didn’t go through some doors that appeared once we did, because supposedly they would drain all the color in the world. I asked him if there were rail pieces that would slow you down or speed you up, but he said that he honestly had no freakin clue. I asked him how long it took him to make this, but I just got a very vague answer.
We then went to his driveway/backyard thing. I had some inner dialogue about these people called the spell(somethings) and how their advantage in this game was to not tell you anything, and that their dice is slightly loaded. Then, the hedges around me were cut in such a way that you could actually read words, and these words were about the other types of players in this game. It seemed to me like a magazine article, and the people who wrote it hired someone to cut the hedges so that it read out the words. I wondered how difficult that would’ve been, but before I got to really inspect them, the kid told me it was time to leave, and threw me in a jeep. Dreamskip.
I am on this huge jungle tree branch and we just recently found this white book, and another person. This guy accidentally dropped his book down, and lost it forever. The kid with me was laughing about it, and I peered over the edge, and accidentally dropped my book too. There was another branch below us some 200 feet, and the book got stuck in a V shape opening in the branch. Suddenly the book started to slip, and it fell into the fog below. As I stared at it, it seemed to start moving upwards. I willed it towards me, and it flew up very fast. It got close to me, but it just sped way up past me. I looked up, and willed myself towards it, and instantly, gravity dissipated. I was hurtling towards the book, and caught up to it and grabbed it.
But now I didn’t know how to stop. I reached the top of the giant tree, and I tried to grab onto something, anything. The kid was right behind me, and as I looked around, I realized that I shouldn’t be here. I started to get gravity under control, and I hopped along like a space man down this stone pathway. I saw this floating blue square that said “World of Warcraft” on it, and had a picture of the Lich King as a background. I ran through it, and I “Ding”-ed. The path took a left, and ended up in this huge stone castle, in the Ice Crown Citadel maybe. We went to the right from the doorway, and came into a large empty room. We went up some stairs, and took a left, and in this room, there was an awning to the left, some NPC’s, and a floating hammer. This hammer had another 4 awesome hammers, and I took all of them. I talked to this NPC that gave mounts and pets, and I bought a phoenix mount, and I turned into it and flew out the awning into the main hall so ridiculously fast. I looked around this huge castle place, and there were advertisements and things, saying catch phrases like “We’ll give you $1700 if you stay in our hotel room!”
After that, I knew we were in a very special place. I then saw this guy that seemed either a mod or an owner of this place. He was a giant gold angel, and he seemed to be looking for something, or someone. I realized that he noticed that someone was not supposed to be in here. I flew back, and in my inventory looked for the very best hammer, and gave the rest back. Dreamskip. I am still in the castle, but now we are all humans, and we’re near a pool/hot tub. There are a bunch of naked women, but most are surrounding the owner. I take off my shirt, and jump into the pool, and a lot of people jump in alongside of me. We decide to play this game where if someone is holding you, you can’t make a sound. We do this until the dream fades. ^^

I am in a car with Josh & Anthony. Anthony is taking his dog somewhere, and Josh and I wait at the top of the staircase. I had my iPod in, and I took it out, but the music kept playing. I tried to ignore it, and it slowly faded, but when I tried to ask Josh something, I wasn’t able to speak; no sound came out. I asked him why we were here, but he just mocked me.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning! Tried a new kind of pill that I got, B-complex. It contains most B-vitamins aswell as some choline. Took some extra B6 so the dosage of that ended up on 200 mg. And during a quick WBTB I downed a G+C pill in hopes of getting lucid. Had some trouble going back to sleep which resulted in me succeeding in a WILD! Although the dream was short and only lasted a few seconds. The rest of my dreams were random.

23.55: Sleep

06.00: Gambling
I'm on a cruiseship with Monica. We're in a room full of jack vegas machines. I choose one and she another. The game on the screen is as usual something really amazing and I get very excited as the wheels apparently end up in the right position and stacks. When the stack reaches the top of the screen, a nice tune is played. I realise I've activated the bonus game and Monica walks over to me.

A big cat like monster shows up on the screen and I have to beat it. I hit it with my sword and it gets knocked back. I try to hit it as fast as I can as I watch my money count down. The life is counting down slower than the money though and I'm forced to put more money in. I put almost all money I have in the slot, and finally kill the cat. "Claim the loot" a button says. I click it and I get to pick up a few gold coins. Way less than I spent. "Oh well, was cool anyways" I tell Monica who looks incredulous.

06.00: WBTB 5 min

06.20: Short WILD
I lie still in bed and relax. After a while my mind starts to wander but after ten minutes or so, just before I'm going to sleep, I realise I'm on my way into SP. I relax and ignore the very weird sensations I feel. It's the same as before, muscle spasms. It's a bit hard to relax fully when my body starts to twitch more and more violently, I begin to turn around on my stomach and I wonder if Monica can feel any kind of shaking at all. My elbow and knee joints are affected the most. I start to visualize.

I can see a ladder infront of me. I focus on climbing it. A hatch appears. I lose focus is back in my body. All of a sudden it feels like I've crossed some kind of border, as my real life senses dull a bit. The twitching a bit less intense.

An image of a cellphone pops up. I grab the phone with my dream hands and push my face towards the white screen, entering a bright white corridor. Cool teleportation! I walk a few steps. I can't recall more than this.

11.00: Pissed squid
I'm up on a hill. I'm not sure why, but I feel like digging. I grab a big rock and roll it to the side. I can see something sprawling underneath the leaves. Actually I can see two things. I figure they're lizards as that's the only creature that is that fast. I remove a few leaves and can see something light brown. It looks like a snake and I prod it. Perhaps it's one of those harmless snakes? I stand up and look to the left. The snake is apparently very long. I can see it sticking up on a few places.

All of a sudden it starts to move. I watch as it slithers away, growing in size. What the hell is this thing? The tail is shaped like a squid head and I back away. Oh shit, there's gotta be water beneath me, and I've just awoken a sleeping squid. I head down the hill and jump into some water. I look back towards the squid. Its head breaks the surface and it starts to take in water. Steam rises from it and a second later it shoots out a jet stream towards me. I swim away.

I get up on dry land and head towards our old apartment. My dad meets me on the stairs and some excited dog. I can hear kids playing.

11.00: Bring it!
I'm with my dad and my sister in Monica's car. Two foreign guys in a car behind us, gets out of it and heads our way. I hit the gas and almost run them over. I laugh out loud. Somehow I don't feel like I'm in any danger. I can see a container up ahead and we all get out of the car. It's the container from work, containing all the tools. I bring out my keys and open it up. Inside I find two crowbars and a rake. I give the crowbars away and keep the rake for myself. I start to swing it around and juggle with it to intimidate the two guys.

The guys go away and I walk up to an ATM. The machine keeps spitting out receipts and I can see there's another card stuck in it. I grab it and pull it out. The machine starts printing out euros. They're connected though and look fake, but I grab as much as I can and put it in my big book. Several people in line seem pissed, but I don't care.

11.00: Wake up

Amount of sleep: 11 hours

Supplements: B-Complex + 100 mg B6. 1 x Lucid Dreamer at WBTB

Tasks completed
NORMAL BASIC ACTIVE BASIC PASSIVE ADVANCED PERSONAL

Successfully WILD

That's it! The amount of information my brain received last night was insane. I'm used to having alot go through my mind but it was crazy how much images, dreams and hallucinations I saw. Didn't focus on recalling more than three though.

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

Aeolar's Dream

Sorry, I've been a little off beat with this for a little bit, but I'm back.

I am on a different planet, and on this planet, they are punishing everyone for not obeying the rules. The way that they punish people is by raising the water levels, and doing so again after someone continues to disobey. This has the potential to flood the planet, and the people in control can simply fly away. I go down to this club-like thing, and I am with Edward & Dale. Dale is looking at this German speed boost thing, and I am looking at something more interesting. There are 2 lines, and the people who are waiting in these lines are waiting to get something out of the mystery box. I get in line with another 4 people, and we are color coded. As we are walking through line, I go a bit slower, and to catch up, I jump over one of the lines. After jumping over, these yellow guys get really pissy because even though they had skipped us, I skipped them back.
Then, this group of short Mexican guys came up to me, one in particular, and started telling me how difficult his life is because he didn’t have a job, and that he couldn’t get one, things like that. He said that he didn’t need me to make things more difficult, and I told him that he should go be a sign spinner somewhere, and I go and grab my thing from the mystery box. It turns into a piece of paper, and I hide it from these people by folding it up and then putting it in my pants. I then begin to list other places this man can easily get a job, and before I know it, I am in this plaza place walking around with my longboard.
I walk up to the door and look up. “Tax Firm” it says. I ponder at applying here. I look to the right, and it’s a plastic surgeons office. I walk into the tax firm, and I see another door to the other side. There is a lady waiting in a chair to my right, and a woman in a desk to my left. The place is very spacey, I notice as I exit the building. I go into another building; this one is like a big health food grocery store. I get on my longboard and start riding around. Suddenly, I see Chandler and we Hi-5. I keep riding, and the place turns into a Publix supermarket. I keep riding, and I’m turning so sharply around these corners, it’s crazy. I see someone else from my high school, and I start to wonder if I am in Bradenton. I ride to the meat section, and crash. I jump off my board, and I walk over to the frozen foods section. Immediately I get hungry. “I left my wallet at the beginning,” I think to myself. I then think about going home, but just then, Daniel runs and points at the Totino’s Pizzas in the freezers. I run over to Daniel, and I see Bobbi coming from down the aisle as well. Who would’ve thought that I’d meet them over here? We start walking back, except the aisle is blocked by this big metal platform thing. The dream ends with me trying to get over it

Kaomea's Dream
Notes: I tried to make it there but never did.

Art Museum
I'm standing in some art museum, not exactly sure how I got here. As soon as I become lucid and 'wake up' to the environment, I immediately see this guy in front of me. He's wearing a long sleeved jacket or maybe some sort of coat, I think it's white. As soon as I look at him he raises his right arm horizontally and then emits a white smoke/cloud from his elbow? What the f is that ... ? Before I'm able to react I'm knocked out and lose the entire thing.

Factory
I'm in a factory and watching as someone builds a water contraption. It's made out of steel and the function of it is meant to harness the power of water. I can't/don't do anything and simply watch. After a while I think about how funny it would be to put fish in there and wreck havok but my thoughts are really cloudy and everything seems decently hazy. Funny though because immediately after I thought it, fish randomly appeared in his machine and he seemed pretty upset by this ... but I don't remember deliberately intending them there...

To the batcave! ... or beach house
My head is aching and overall feels like I'm recovering from a really bad hangover. I can't see straight but I can see well enough, albeit it feels like the entire world is spinning faster than normal. I'm on a moped as I regain dream consciousness and speed through a city near the beach. I see traffic lights and speed through the first one, not willing to stop... I can't stop. I time the other lights and catch whatever green lights happen to turn on at the right time. I almost crash horribly as I speed over some metal plate and a rain puddle... I pull myself back up before I actually crash and just nearly miss a couple of police officers standing on the sidewalk. I make it to a beach house...

Beach house
Arriving at my destination, I don't know why exactly I'm here. I get the feeling I'm here because the water holds a cleansing property and clears my energy, aura, mind, everything but I still can't think straight. I grab a bag, my bag? and reach for my suit to put on. I get sidetracked into other things instead of getting into the water. I can't think straight and never make it into the water... only into other areas in the building beside the water.

Please feel free to comment, I'd like to hear your thoughts and ideas on my dreams

I was in some kind of college (But it wasn't the one I go to) and everybody from my old school was there, also K. was in all of my lessons. There was this one group of people who were my friends and I told them I loved her. Then we went outside and the college was actually a castle as well. Then the dream switched to me in my living room, I was watching a documentary on volcanoes.


The scene then came back to the college/castle and me and my friends were trying to escape, we were running across the battlements to one of the turrets/towers. We got there and this king-like guy walked out and we tried to avoid him but we got found, we kept running along the battlements until we were opposite this house. We were told to jump and hold onto this rope to swing across. I knew I couldn't jump that far, suddenly everything around us was on fire and I had no choice. I tried to jump but slipped and fell back into the burning building, the heat was intense and I thought it was all over but then the people who were with me formed a human chain and caught me. They then swung me onto the house opposite. We were trying to escape to train in something but then everything went black as though to say "two months later" or something like that but it didn't. The scene then switched to me fishing next to the leader of the escape group in the street and he reminded me about K. and I ran into the college looking for her but there were a load of school children getting in my way. I never found her in the end but this strange booming voice said "YOU ARE DREAMING" and then I became lucid! but then the dream started to fade and I frantically started rubbing my hands together, the dream still faded and I woke up. Hooray for my first lucid, even though it was only 5 seconds long. I think the reason I couldn't stabilise it is because I panicked when it started fading. Oh well I have lots more time to try.

Melatonin, b6, tums, egg(choline)
I was next to this grungy mini market with two of these girls. I was holding this bag of cheese puffs and a red bull. In my head I even told myself, this is something a douchebag would eat when about to be killed. We were having fun and all and then we drove over to our black friends house which was a block over. I had the feeling that we were being haunted. Ocassionally I turned my head and I saw a silhouette of this little girl. In my dream I kept telling myself that I knew this is going to be scary but I didn't care. I knew later on we were running from something. The two girls I was with ended up as one, and the black girl was running out of her house with us. We were screaming, running. We ran across the road, it was raining with lightning outside. We were on a porch banging on the door of this girl. We begged her to let us in. The asian girl let us in and she died immediently. I had no idea what was going on. The ghost/monster thing was chasing everyone. It was a pretty full house, and I think that there was a party. We let them die just by knocking on their door. I ran to the back to see if I could hide, but I ended up in the Beast's dog house. I wanted to hide behind his giant dog bowl, but THEY walked in. There were two big dogs looking for food. I opened a can of Pedigree and placed it in one bowl, then another. I felt like they bonded with me.*
I woke up, not like out of the dream but in the dream I woke up next to that grungy mini market. This was sort of like Final Destination I just realized that those two girls were just slaughtered. One of the girls, the bad one just finished stealing some food from that market. I told her to put it back, stealing is bad and I was yelling at her because I was trying to see where we messed up to get murdured in the first place. I put on my backpack and was like fuck you guys, I'm leaving. I ran to the place with the asian girl. I saw that black girl there too and I handed her two slices of cheese?? I yelled at her, "When you get to your house, place both of these cheese infront of your door and DON'T LET THOSE TWO GIRLS IN YOUR HOUSE. WHATEVER YOU DO. PROMISE ME". And so she ran to her house and I also ran off to the next block. I looked back to make sure no one was following me. I went up the very steep hill. I got halfway through and I had to climb. I slid a bit but grabbed onto this patch of grass before I slid all the way down. I was climbing over this fence when this guy told me "hey, do you know about those hauntings?" and I said, I wish I could help you but if you stay out of the way you'll be safe. I climbed over and dodged my way through all these mailboxes and these bikers leaving. I saw the entrance and planned my escape, but saw that one Ron Weasley guy sitting next to me with a bunch of other guys looking at his arm. He was staring at me like he knew what I was doing. I looked back at the entrance and it was a two feet black tube that I had to crawl through. I began to crawl in but it was just way too tight and would take me forever to get to the other side. So I took my backpack off and removed the black tube so I had to get past horned shrubbery. I let my blue backpack and grabbed my bike, pulling it along as I crawled through the tough terrain. I got out and all I could see was steep cliffs and the ocean. I mounted my bike and rid as fast as I could. At one point I had to go up this tube with my bike, but I fell off the edge and into the water. I told myself NOPE I'M NOT DROWNING and bounced back up once I hit the water. *I saw these people on an island who were stuck yelling for help. I KNEW not to help them(yes I feel bad now) because it would be a relapse of everyone dying. So I kept jumping on my bike over and over, knowing not to go too far, because I can't swim. I went to the closest beach and saw a bunch of Samoans then dismounted off my bike really cool. I asked where I was and they told me the Pacific Islands.*
I was in school when I saw Voldemort. He was trying to get into the Chamber of Secrets or something. We all tried to prevent him. I saw him talking to this lady for a school map but I interrupted her and asked if Mr... Was a fat black guy or a fat white guy and she looked at me funny. Atleast I prevented him from continueing.*

Non-lucid, Possibly lucid?, Lucid, [Commentary made while awake]

I'm trying to drive to a destination, and I go through an intersection and end up on a winding road that leads down the side of a mountain to a lake. I recheck my directions and realize that I was supposed to turn right at that last intersection. I start retracing my route and going back up the hill.

I'm at an outdoor amphitheater in Disney California Adventure. I'm way in the back of the amphitheater area, on some bleachers, watching a stage show. There is a bizarre structure on the horizon as you're looking at the stage; it looks like a pyramid with the points sticking out in a bunch of different directions, like what you would see if you put a normal pyramid in the center of a spherical structure with mirrors on all the inside surfaces. The show starts out with red fireworks that shoot out from the vicinity of this structure. The first round explodes in the sky above and to the right of the audience, the second arcs down to and explodes on the round, concrete slab of a second amphitheater behind and to the right of the audience, and the third explodes just above the audience's heads. I'm afraid that I'm going to catch on fire, but I don't.

On stage, there's some sort of announcement from a villainous character in the show that we need to prepare to be tortured. He also says that all the women should stay in the main viewing area, while all the men should move to the building at the back of the theater with the indoor concession and souvenir stands. They all do so. Then, large snakes appear throughout the viewing area. One is close enough to me to touch me with the end of its tail, which I know is poisonous [um, what?]. It's very long and all coiled around on top of itself. I visually pick out its head and tail from among the mass, and try to avoid them as I pick it up and attempt to toss it away from me. This doesn't work. It wraps itself around my waist and legs, binding me in place. I'm scared, but I resign myself to it when I realize that I can't get it off and that it's just a part of the show anyway.

After the show, which felt like it had lasted about 50 minutes, I make my way down to the stage. One of my college girlfriends is getting married here at Disney California Adventure. Several of the other girls from our group are bridesmaids, and they're all wearing long, grayish-white dresses with Disney vacation scenes on them. Two of them are pregnant, including EB. I'm here to attend the wedding, too, but I don't talk to any of them. When the wedding party starts taking pictures, I walk back to the concession and souvenir building at the back of the amphitheater.

My walk there takes me along a gently-curving grass path marked with steppingstones with the shapes of different Disney character heads on them. This path marks the edge of the amphitheater seating area. When I get into the concession and souvenir building, I talk to one of the men who was watching the show. He says the boys had their own torture: during the entire time the show was going on, they were all held in one area and none of them were allowed to pee. I tell him that the free T-shirts can be picked up at the Great American Icee stand, over there.

The dream I've been having fades to black [it may have been the one above, or a different one, I'm not quite sure]. When it does, I realize exactly what's going on, close my eyes, and think, When I open my eyes, I will be back in another dream. I open them, and I'm back at the same amphitheater, but the scenario is different.

[I'm not 100% sure I was lucid for this next part, though.] This time, there are a whole bunch of patriotic greeting cards in boxes at the back. Everyone there has been making them to send to the families of military members and people who died in the 9/11 attacks. Some people are still making them. I see that one lady in the back row has a plate full of lasagna, and take a bite with a fork. She tells me not to eat the lasagna, that it's for the people being honored.

Another show starts in the amphitheater. As it starts, people in front of me stand up, which forces me to stand up, too. I talk with the family to my left. They ask me about a “magic wand” that can be used to uncover secrets and extra content in the park. I point out one that a Cast Member down on a walkway that we can see from our seats is using. It looks a lot like a big, black metal detector, with a bunch of black tubes on top that form a Mickey head shape in the center. It detects sensors embedded in the ground and plays a sound when it finds them. The family climbs up onto the roof of the pagoda structure covering the back of the stands to get a better view of the stage, which is easy to do. I say, “Hey! That's rude!” but follow them up there anyway.

[Later, I had another dream in which I was definitely lucid, but I don't remember how it started or very many of the details. Here's what I do remember:]

I'm in an indoor environment, just walking around and admiring the scenery. I know none of this is real and acknowledge that fact in my mind, but I deeply appreciate how the scenery and the daylight illuminating it look completely real.

When I get to the top floor of the building I'm in, I attempt to fly through the ceiling, but it doesn't work. I just bump into the ceiling, which is completely solid to me. It's a stucco ceiling.

I'm flying around above a city, observing it from the air. Another female dream character [no one I know in real life] is flying with me. I take it slow, finding that I have full control over my speed and direction, but not wanting to do any more than relax and take it all in. I increase my altitude, and the other girl follows. We talk while flying. [I don't remember about what.]

[This is another catchup post.]

Non-lucid dream, [Commentary made while awake]

Night of September 8-9

I wake up in my current bedroom. I go down the stairs and look at a digital clock. As I look at it, it changes from 1:07 [or something like that] to 5:07. I know I have to get up for the day at 5:15 [this was actually true in real life, since it was a Friday morning], but I'm still feeling sleepy, so I decide to just go back to bed for those last 8 minutes. I go back up the stairs and go back to sleep.

I wake up in a different bedroom, in a two-story house [that might or might not have been House #2, I'm not sure]. I go downstairs, and there's a social gathering just getting started. A bunch of my [present-day] friends from church are just arriving at the house. I get into a conversation with my mom and PB on the subject of how important it is to always eat everything on one's plate. My mom says that her father always used to tell her to clean her plate. I say that I learned that it was good manners to do so from reading Laura Ingalls Wilder's books when I was a little girl.

---------------------
Side notes:

When I woke up for real, I was pretty mad at myself for having missed two false awakenings, one of them involving the classic dream sign of a digital clock changing the time it displays.

Right after I woke up from this dream, my memory of the exact words of the conversation I had had in the dream was much clearer than my memory of conversations in dreams usually is. I'm writing this on the evening of the following day, though, so I don't remember it as well. The story about me reading Laura Ingalls Wilder as a child and learning lessons about manners and etiquette from her books is true, and comes directly from my real life. My mom has never actually told me that specific story about her and her father – my mind just made it up, but it is consistent with his personality.

Awake, Non-lucid, Lucid, [Commentary made while awake]

Night of August 31-September 1

[Fragment] I still have the box I shipped out via FedEx yesterday, for some reason.

I'm outside and lucid. I try to start flying, but am unable to. I move to another spot where I have an unobstructed view of the sky, and try taking off again. This time, I succeed. I think, I have to be looking up at the sky at about a 40-degree angle in order to fly - no, I don't! If I think that's true, then it will be! I can't set limits on it like that!

There is a large playground where I am. I fly toward it and, to my own slight surprise, am able to fly right through all the playground equipment intangibly, with no trouble at all. I get to see the dark-gray interior cross-sections of the upright pieces of the structure. I think, Oh, heck yeah. When I get all the way through the playground, I fly up to get an overview of the landscape.

September 4, 2011

I'm at my current house. My mom has come over to visit. She's sitting on the couch in the living room. [The living-room furniture is set up in a mirror image of how it is in real life. The couch is facing the outside wall of the house, rather than being up against that wall.] I'm upstairs, looking down into the living room. I jump down the stairs and float gently down onto the ground floor, in full view of my mom and all the other guests downstairs, not caring this time about being seen using my dream abilities by my DCs. None of them take any notice of what I've just done or comment on it as being strange. [I don't remember how this dream began, or how or when I realized I was dreaming, but I definitely knew I was.]

I sit down in an armchair to visit with my mom. We're talking about what it's like for me to be on my own, whether I'm lonely, whether I miss her. She asks me, “Do you ever dream about me?” I say, “Yes.” I decide I don't want to tell her that I'm dreaming about her right now and she's just a DC, though. She continues talking to me about dreams. While she's talking, I notice that she has one or two extra digits on each hand, but I decide not to point this out to her, either. I just find it interesting. I didn't know that that could happen to DCs, too.

[Different dream, later on.] I'm in a house somewhere, with my family. We're getting ready to go out to a movie, for which someone else is buying the tickets. I take my phone out of my purse to check it. It's my smartphone that I have in real life. I've set it to display my name as “Danny Boletino,” the name of a character in a heist movie, just for the fun of it.

I'm in another room of that same house, having a quiet conversation with my boss about fishing. He's surprised to learn that the last time I went fishing with him and his family was the first time I'd ever been fishing. I also tell him that I want to go fishing with them again, because I want to get better at it.

------------------------
Side notes:

Lots of day residue here. I saw my mom yesterday, and we had company over at our house. However, my mom did not really come over to my house; I saw her elsewhere. Also, one of the last threads I was this one, about looking at your hands to RC or stabilize the dream, so I'm not surprised that that showed up in my dream.

Neat. That's the first time my new smartphone has shown up in one of my dreams. It's been exactly two weeks since I got it, which is also exactly how long it took me to have my first false awakening in my new house after I moved into it (see this DJ entry). Evidently, two weeks is how long it takes for my my unconscious mind to accept something as normal and start incorporating it into my dreams.
