101: 5.23.10; 11:00AM Announcement of Donation. (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was driving dad's truck out on some backroads at night, and after driving along the same road for a very long while, I turned left at an intersection in the hopes of finding something interesting. I wound up at a kind of church, way out in the middle of nowhere. I parked and got out, finding a lot of people standing around, waiting for a man in the distance to announce something from the podium he was standing behind. While the kids (and a few adults) talked and made a lot of noise, I watched the man and waited for him to speak, knowing he was going to announce that I'd made a massive donation toward whatever cause they stood for. When he began speaking, everyone continued to talk, and continued to do so until he was finished.

I figured that they'd heard the announcement through their uninterrupted conversations, so I advised one of them to get some rest, as they had school the next day, and it was around 4AM when the announcer had finished.

100: 5.21.10; 11:18AM Part 2: Gold Dust. (DEILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had a DEILD where I was on my computer on my bed, and was intently watching gold-coloured dust of some magical origin swirling around my laptop screen. I was concerned about not being completely "in" the dream, even though I was indeed lucid, which led me to choose not to attempt the Task of the Year like I'd wanted to. Thus, my time in the dream was spent doing nothing more than watching that gold dust floating about before the dream faded.

100: 5.21.10; 8:55AM Part 1: Running Down Bleachers + 6twitter Virus. (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I dreamed I'd left my Sociology class early, and as a result had failed it. (It's an online course so I don't know how I could've left it, but I somehow managed to do so.) When I found I'd failed the class, I found myself in my high school gym, running down the bleachers. The bleachers were far too steep for me to be running down, and I wound up jumping off of them due to my momentum, about 10 feet from the floor. I braced for impact, and doing so made me gradually lucid. This immediately slowed my descent. The dream transitioned and I found my computer to have a virus. I found two files named "twitter" and "6twitter" that were irremovable, placed by the virus.

99: 5.20.10; 8:55AM Racing Older Cars + Arcade Game. (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I dreamed that I was in a really nice car of an older model, and was racing it down an incredibly packed and busy street in a city I didn't recognize. I saw other hot cars racing alongside me, so I kept up with them to see who was driving them - but never got to see their faces.

The dream transitioned and I was at Paul's house, his mom setting up an old arcade game cabinet called "DJ Pookster," which I found to be very funny. Julia was there with me, and we all talked and reconnected.

98: 5.18.10; 12:15PM Part 6: Clyde's Art on Public Display. (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was outside the local mall with my little sister Emily when she handed a piece of folded paper I'd sworn I'd seen before in a dream. I tried to chase her down to tell her so, but found a couple of men arguing, which I figured was a welcome opportunity to intervene and put an end to the argument. I found a giant coloured drawing of a flying bird hanging from the side of a building, and when I approached it I identified it as one of my own works.

98: 5.18.10; 10:30AM Part 4: Julia's Letter + Out to Dinner with my Dad. (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I dreamed of getting an especially lengthy letter from Julia while in a kind of classroom setting, but wasn't able to read it there.

The dream transitioned and I was helping two girls open their van door - come to find out, the lock/unlock switch was partially locked, which was the cause of their problems.

The dream transitioned again and I was out to dinner with my dad, and saw my high school history teacher Mr. Shahin there.

98: 5.18.10; 10:30AM Part 3: Steve Vai Shows His Prowess. (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

A short dream in which I watched Steve Vai playing his guitar in my music room, showing that he could play two different lines of music at once: he did left-hand pull-offs on the high-e string while wildly tremolo picking the open low-E string.

98: 5.18.10; 8:21AM Part 1: Without a Trace. (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was hanging out with a few girls I recognized, one of which being an ex-girlfriend of mine. We walked through a parking lot toward a movie theater, and she passed out cold on the pavement, in the line of on-coming cars. One of the other girls stopped the cars while I picked up my ex. We rushed to the theater and everyone but me and my ex, still passed out, had disappeared. I asked an attendant for assistance, but she said I should go next door for a phone and to get to the hospital.

A little traveling around outside, still carrying my ex, told me the entire area was desolate, and after exploring a few alleys and coming out of one at the side of a freeway, I realized I should use my cell phone to call an ambulance.

I debated if I should call an ambulance or try to find a hospital, as it would take time for them to arrive at my location and I didn't know any nearby addresses to give them a reference point to find me. Julia called while I was thinking, so I explained to her what was going on. By the time I got off the phone, which wasn't more than a minute's time, my ex was missing, without a trace.

Later in the dream, I heard a radio station saying she was arrested for a traffic-related offense, which I suspected had to do with passing out in front of those cars back in the parking lot.

At one point earlier in the dream, I had passed by a pawn shop with the group of girls plus my ex, and saw some dark-cyan/teal shirts on display that I knew were clothes Julia had left behind/sold some while ago, and it made me miss her to see them.

97: 5.17.10; 7:39AM Viola Reclaimed. (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm arguing with a man who has my viola, and I devise a way to get it back from him. I look at the way he's holding it, which appears to be like a baseball bat or like another hand-held weapon. I start to shout at him, saying that something's wrong with the instrument's tuning pegs, using a few profanities to startle him. I take the instrument from his hand, to which he offers no resistance, and I continue to freak out, accusing him of causing damage to the instrument.

96: 5.16.10; 9:43AM Suburban Garden. (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm at my picnic table with both my sisters when we see a basketball team walking by, the players on each others' shoulders in three-person stacks. My dad waves us over to follow them and to watch them play a game, so I run over toward them.

The dream transitions slightly, changing the environment to a suburban scene with a great deal of plant life and shrubbery, lit up by the bright morning sun. On my way following the basketball team, I dodge into a small concrete garden/park to sit and think, knowing that I'd wanted to get lucid (but not yet aware I'm dreaming). When I sit down, I close my eyes and realize I'm lucid, feeling the great warmth of the sunlight on my face.

Some people walk by me and I get taken back into the dream's plot when I run into a man from the group and start a gunfight with him. He falls against a small iron picket-style fence, where he dies, dropping the gun and saber he carried.

95: 5.15.10; 11:41AM Part 1: A Warrant For Her Arrest + A Morbid Experience with Harry And Hermione. (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Julia and I are preparing to arrest and man and woman for some abduction-related crime. They both had an abnormal fascination with their victims' feet, and kept them locked away after abducting them for that reason. I stall the man and woman while Julia goes to secure a warrant for the woman's arrest, but after she leaves and is gone a while, Julia seems to have disappeared, and I go searching for her, as I can't arrest them without a warrant.

I wind up in my house and remember that I can use my cell phone to call her and find out where she is. I find my phone charging on the floor of my hallway. I unplug it and take it to my desk, sitting down, and discover that I have 40 new messages, none apparently from Julia. From what I could tell, most of them were screenshots of a game from a contact by the name Uchimaru.

Watching these screenshots for a bit, the dream transitions inside them, taking me into a Harry Potter video game, where Harry is to steal a dragon's egg. Harry and Hermione are both there, and their characters keep dying from either jumping off the tiny cliff they're on within this giant cave, or from somehow falling from great heights onto that very cliff.

94: 5.14.10; 9:15AM Part 5: Touching Music Video. (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I am watching a music video that fills me entire field of vision. The music is clear in my head, and the video and song are of a sad subject: a bandmate who died in a car crash. The video features a light blue car in which he was sitting in the backseat, the song saying that one of their most loved memories of him being the first day they went to the studio. The video shows him in a hospital bed, and after several changes to the scene involving the room and the people in it, the camera heads out the door and back to the road, the song ending.

The song had a very current-Hawthorne Heights sound to the music and vocals. It was VERY touching.

94: 5.14.10; 9:15AM Part 4: Alerion. (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I am in a dark classroom, filled with students, and instead of doing work we're talking about techno music. "Alerion" by Asking Alexandria begins playing and some of us start singing/screaming along with it, myself at the forefront. I get comfortable sitting sideways in my desk and continue to listen to the music being played for us after Alerion ends.

94: 5.14.10; 9:15AM Part 3: Black and Tan Puppy. (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I find tons of puppies out on some of our farm implements. One in particular really likes me, the rest running off to hide. He's a black and tan puppy with a beagle's face and long floppy ears.

93: 5.13.10; 12:32PM Part 2: Virtual Reality Mall with Julia. (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I am at my ma's house outside in nice sunny weather, with Julia and a bunch of people I don't recognize. I'm laying against Julia while we lay in the grass together. After talking with each other for a bit, we are in a car, Julia driving, heading out onto the road and going into town. We take several unfamiliar turns and wind up inside a very cluttered kind of mall, which I understand to be in virtual reality. When we get inside, everyone orders food and I start looking through a booklet of various symbols, singing songs out loud while I do so.
