non-lucid

I was at a Tiki bar underneath this gorgeous waterfall, I assume I was baby sitting because there was a girl around the age of 12 with me, her name was Tiffany. I got in my car and Tiffany and I drove to an Asian clothing store right across the street from the the Tiki bar and waterfall. When we entered the store it was filled with the most beautiful clothes (Japanese type of clothing, very cute) , I wanted them all so bad, telling myself I would eventually get them so I put back the clothes. Tiffany and I entered a grocery store which had been connected to the Asian store from the inside and then we ran into her parents, so we went around the store and eventually Tiffany and I left the grocery store and went back to my car. We ended up back at the tiki bar, and when I sat down at the bar I noticed Tiffany was no longer there, I didn't think much of it. The bartender guy (who happened to be this one tough guy that I go to school with) asked me why I was alone and I said, "I'm just waiting for my boyfriend" and he said, "Don't you have a nickname for him?", and I said, "Yes, I call him Jare bear, because his name is Jared." he then said, " Oh well my girlfriend calls me master." I then woke up from my dream, I found it funny because, this guy is an aggressive person so the "nickname" didn't surprise me.

non-dream dream lucid

I slept a LOT today. I could literally explain my entire day in detail here.

I entered the day in what seemed to be a black void. Well not really. I'd fallen asleep at my computer and when I woke up everything was black. When I uncovered myself everything was still black. Silent as well. The power was out and all the lights were off.

I went to the living room up stairs and started listening to my radio. An hour later I did the unthinkable and went back down into the black void known as the basement cause my antenna is down there! I spent half an hour down there before coming back up and laying down, still listening to the radio.

Ended up experimenting, practicing SSILD cycles with the radio on Didn't work out so well. Actually managed to get numb in some spots but it just didn't happen other wise.

Ended up listening to the radio all the way until 7 or so, when the power came back on.

Turned on my laptop and came here to just see what was up. Then came to the question of whether to WBTB or not. I ultimately decided to, so I started my clock and went to bed.

Ended up waking up an hour before the alarm, so I thought "good enough" and went back to sleep, practicing SSILD cycles as I drifted off.

And here's where the fun begins.

-------------------------------
The PILD
Lucid: yes
TGMG: potentially, but ultimately no.

I am in my living room, playing an NES game. It looks like Mario but the levels are nothing like I've ever seen before. I have a few false awakenings before I realize something is up. So of course I get up and my room is more or less the same as IWL. I then walk out the door and into the back yard. And this is where things get different.

I look at the area where the shed was and it's a rather large ruin of a shed that was painted white. I look around and there's a bunch of wood everywhere. I look down and there's a piece of wood in the ground that sounds like there could be something under it. I start to pull it up and I see a bunch of duffel bags in the hole. I climb in and I pull the duffel bags out of the hole, but the wood falls on the hole and there's a bunch of spiders on the wood.

I just look out of the hole, occasionally grabbing the dirt in the opening before I stop caring and just push the wood away. I carry the duffel bags inside and I open them up to find a bunch of old clothes. They're all completely dry and they even smell decent. Among the clothes I also find a bunch of old school stuff - binders and whatnot. I open those up to find orange text from when I was a log younger.

I put it away and I then find a bunch of gameboy games and SD cards. I look at the gameboy games. Lots of black cartridges that I have no clue what games are on them.

The SD cards are also black. I grab them all and start stacking them. "Damn that's a lot of SD cards! Look how tall this stack is!" I don't remember how tall the stack was.

I have another false awakening.

I'm back playing the Mario game again! I'm in a very dark level. Well the background is completely black. There's brown Mario styled bricks on the ground and ceiling. I'm also listening to the sound. Sounds like a Mario game except its in stereo oddly enough.

I continue running down this corridor until eventually the game starts acting weird. The audio goes mono and becomes a bit watery sounding. The graphics also change as the bricks become round stones and Mario becomes Fire peach.

Ah ha! This must be a dream! I immediately become lucid, and realize that I'm playing this on my laptop. I get off and get up. I take care not to destabilize the dream. I look around, looking at how real everything looks.

The house is more or less the same as in real life except some of the lighting is different. This is more apparent in the kitchen.

Timmy comes towards me as I'm looking around and asks me whats up. I tell him "I'm dreaming!" and open the front door. I then open the real front door with telekinesis apparently (It was just open).

Timmy asks me what I'm gonna do, and I tell him I'm going out side. I look out the door, stabilizing the dream. I then walk outside. I start to think "Well I'm dreaming! So what goals do you want to try and do?". I try and remember my lucid list but the only goal I can remember is the one where I shrink myself.

By this time I'm on the outside porch, (more or less identical to IWL) and I look around. Everything is quite icy, but I don't feel cold. I raise my hands in the air and look up. I then shrink to about a quarter my size.
Well that's one goal done. No bonus points cause all you did was run to the corner store

I run off the porch and into the road. The road is quite icy. My brother starts following me as I get to the corner. I look down ecorse rd and I see it's a lot darker than IWL. More houses, and it seems to end in a straight turn to the right. The store down the svc drive looks more or less the same as it does IWL. I continue to walk down, looking down every street that I can.

I eventually get to where the chicken place is, and I walk inside. This place is pretty much the same as IWL as well. I look around and there's a bunch of food on the back counter. I want to eat some but I think "What if I'm not dreaming?" so I run out.

All of a sudden I walk up in my bed. I had a false awakening. I get up and everything is blueish. It almost feels as if someone else is in the room but I don't know it. I get up and float across the living room. I say "Jesus christ!", and then I plug my nose. Only to find out I can still breath when it's plugged. "okay this is a dream you don't need to be saying that".

This next part is a bit of a blur. I definitely lost lucidity.

I walk into this room that looks like something out of Half Life 2 and metal gear solid put together. There's a DC in there explaining the SD cards to me. He says that someone made the SD cards work like that intentionally to put you to sleep. They don't explain why though. I do learn how it works however. Each SD card has a few DOS games on it as well as a batch file to load them. If you load the games without any batch file, it puts you to sleep, but you don't realize you've gone to sleep. Some of the SD cards, particularly the one I was playing, with Mario, had the batch file tampered with so it acts as if it's not a batch file.

I have this huge blue monitor to the left of me, and a tunnel that you could crawl through? in front.

I am then playing this Sonic game where I'm being bounced all over the place with flippers in what seems to be a futuristic setting. Then I'm in a spindash tunnel. I get stuck in it, but I want to go another way so somehow I make my way back up, and I get myself into a launcher and try to get up the top tunnel. It takes a few tries. I don't remember what's on top.

I wake up some time around here.
I recall it's now around 11 or so.

After this I'm incredibly tired, so I end up writing down a lot of things about the dream (go tired me ). I really hesitate though because of just how tired I am. I make lots of mistakes as well.

Well eventually I end up going to sleep again where I had another dream.

-----------------------
The windy forest
Lucid: no
TGMG: no

It's during the day time and I'm on a long road in the middle of the forest. No clue where this is but I do know it is quite windy, but not cold.

There's no cars on the road and I never see any. I look up and the sky is overcast but it is quite bright out. Eventually the wind is so strong that I get picked up off my feet, and into the woods. I see a bunch of trees where I'm going, with water on the bottom. Obviously a swamp.

I get close enough to a rather large tree and I grab on. It's too large for me to wrap my arms around but I am capable of holding on. As I'm holding on I get my first glimpse of the area. It's a swamp, with lots of large trees like the one I'm on.

I start climbing up the tree until I get to a large branch. I climb on and sit down. Now I look around fully and I see a swing-like thing made out of tree trunks. There's also a bear laying down on it!

I watch it for a moment. The bear is swinging back and forth on the branch.

I look up the tree and I see a yellow rope laying down. I look up to where it's coming from and I see an incomplete bridge. It's made of wood and there's a odd black thing coming off the incomplete end. I grab the rope and start climbing up it.

As I'm climbing I realize that I don't need much grip to stay on. I could get away with just holding it in my fingers and it would be fine.

I eventually climb to a branch really close to the bridge. I grab hold of the bridge and I see it swaying back and forth. I then see a DC on the bridge. A female park ranger? They take the rope and throw it to me from the bridge. I climb on and I then see a toolbox the DC has. They're here to fix a bit of the bridge.

They ask for help, and I start helping them. So they go into their toolbox and start grabbing small screws. Really really small. They then start screwing them into random bits of wood.

They ask me to do the same so I get a screw and put it into the side of one board on the wall. I can't get it in though! So I try and get it in again. This time it works.

By now its night time, so the DC thanks me and leaves. I'm alone now so I just get up and walk the path beyond the bridge. I then wake up.


Once I wake up I'm still really tired.
Over the course of writing this DJ, I fully awoke and now I feel fine.

Spoiler for Temp stuff:

long dream:
I go to sleep around 8 or so? Wake up around 12 or so.

false awakenings, metal gear solid

the first RC was to check the audio of the NES game. Normally it would sound fine enough, but once dreaming the audio would get really watery and lose its connection with the game. Also the graphics would get really wierd. The bricks would turn into little 8 bit stones and Mario would go all inverted.

wake up quite a few times (FAs) > realize they were all dreams > notice that some of them have you playing a NES game >


FAs > eventually go into the back yard > find shed loads of SD cards and binders amongst the old fort > bring them all in > open them and find a bunch of old clothes, all perfectly fine, as well as old school paper work > notice that the FAs have you playing nes games >

fort:
go into back yard (lighting is evening, but rather bright) > find a rather large wooden fort > go around and look inside the fort > eventualy find a wooden board in the ground > pull it up > find a bunch of duffel bags > find yourself trapped amongs wooden boards with large spiders > eventually come out > bring loot inside > look inside > find a bunch of old binders with school stuff, and SD cards and gameboy games > look at all the gameboy games > find a DOS emulator on each one > realize that the old SD card started the emulator without any batch file > starting without batch file causes some sort of explosion > puts you to sleep without realizing it

------------------------------------------------


I am playing a NES game, seems to be a Mario game. Black background, brown bricks on the top and bottom. I'm just running forward. The sound is there but it's very watery. I play for a bit, before having a false awakening. I am back at the beginning of the game! This repeats a few times before you realize what's going on.

I sit there thinking "Why do I keep resetting back to the beginning?", before realizing that it could be a dream. Okay, I think "Next time I reset back to the beginning, I'll reality check!". I continue playing the game for a bit, carefully paying attention to how the game is behaving. At one point, the game audio starts getting less clear, almost watery. I also seem to recall that its in stereo normally and it became mono. Also the 8 bit graphics changed. Mario turned into "Fire peach" for no reason and the bricks changed into stones.

Ah ha! This must be a dream! I immediately become lucid, and realize that I'm playing this on my laptop. I get off and get up. I take care not to destabilize the dream. I look around, looking at how real everything looks.

The house is more or less the same as in real life except some of the lighting is different. This is more apparent in the kitchen.

Timmy comes towards me as I'm looking around and asks me whats up. I tell him "I'm dreaming!" and open the front door. I then open the real front door with telekinesis apparently (It was just open).

So what goals do you want to try and do?". I try and remember my lucid list but the only goal I could remember was the one where I shrink myself.

By this time I'm on the outside porch, (more or less identical to IWL) and I look around. Everything is quite icy, but I don't feel cold. I raise my hands in the air and look up. I then shrink to about a quarter my size.

I run off the porch and into the road. The road is quite icy. My brother starts following me as I get to the corner. I look down ecorse rd and I see it's a lot darker than IWL. More houses, and it seems to end in a straight turn to the right. The store down the svc drive looks more or less the same as it does IWL.

I eventually get to where the chicken place is, and I walk inside. This place is pretty much the same as IWL as well. I look around and there's a bunch of food on the back counter. I want to eat some but I think "What if I'm not dreaming?" :derp: so I run out.

All of a sudden I walke up in my bed. I had a false awakening. I get up and everything is blueish. It almost feels as if someone else is in the room but I don't know it. I get up and float across the living room. I say "Jesus christ!", and then I plug my nose. Only to find out I can still breath when it's plugged. "okay this is a dream you don't need to be saying that".

This next part is a bit of a blur. I deffinitely lost lucidity.

I walk into this room that looks like something out of Half Life 2 and metal gear solid put together. There's a DC in there explaining the SD cards to me. He says that someone made the SD cards work like that intentionally to put you to sleep. They don't explain why though.

I get stuck in it, but I want to go another way so somehow I make my way back up, and I get myself into a launcher and try to get up the top tunnel. It takes a few tries. I don't remember what's on top.

I wake up some time around here.

forest dream:
I'm running down a long curving road during the day, and there's serious wind. Forests surround me, and the wind is strong enough to pick me up and blow me towards a swamp. As I'm getting carried I try and grab hold of several branches, and I eventually succeed. There's lots of rather large trees here.

There's a large swing-like contraption here, made of several large tree trunks, with what seems to be a bear on it. It's just going back and forth. I grip the trees here, and I eventually climb up one of them until I get to a large branch sticking out to the left. Once I get on the branch I start looking around more.

There's water below me and there's what seems to be a rope here. I grab it and I look up to where it came from. There's a bridge here. Well it doesn't seem to be finished but it is here. Rather new as well. I climb up to it with the rope and the bridge is swaying quite a bit.

Once I'm on the bridge I start looking around and a DC comes up and greets me. They ask me what I'm doing here, and I don't really tell them much. Then they bring out a tool box and start getting out small screws to put in the bridge. They ask for my help. So I get a screw and try and screw it into one of the boards on the fences.

It doesn't go in, so I try and put it down. They grab the screw from me and put it where the other screws are. They give me another screw to put in, and I finally screw it in. I do this a few times until the DC thanks me and leaves. I then walk along the path that the bridge leads to, and then I wake up.

I was looking at a table. A woman was cutting vegetables/fruits, and then she wipes them to a white trash bag, explaining that it's the same (?). Eating or doing something is the same as making the effort of cutting the fruits/vegetables and then just throwing them. I'm unclear what she meant about eating or doing.

I was looking at a phone's screen. Facebook? I was looking for good wallpaper. There were green-themed ones.

I was at sea. There was a battle. Or rather, it's years after the battle and people are experiencing a peaceful time. But trouble is brewing. "I" was an old man (in third person). I was giving counsel to the people (one at a time, groan). Something came up. A fight?

A battle at sea. Underwater. I think this was before the peaceful time.

Dream 1

I had a long dream where I was with a group of people trying to accomplish a mission. Forgot mostly everything though.

Dream 2

Something I don't recall happened. Than I was eating Louisiana crunch cake. I wasn't satisfied with just a piece of it so I kept going back for more.After that someone told me I had to go somewhere. I found something about it odd so I was aware it was a dream.I left my house with the DC and told it to open a portal somewhere. The DC didn't really want to though.

The next thing I recall happening is going on a trip with a crowd of people. We went to a place like a arena but inside a huge auditorium. Supposedly a movie was going to be shown. I forgot my book bag though and went out to look for it.As I was walking around I felt the atmosphere and mood was tense. I looked back and realized it was a dream and all those DCs were in a trap.

The announcers began talking to the crowd about how the show was about to start. I was walking pretty fast out the doors but a couple of guards saw me and brought me back to where the arena was. The beast was than released and DCs began screaming and running all around. Inside me I knew it would be wrong to run so I decided to face the giant yellow and Orange colored bird.

As the bird was gobbling up lots of DCs I ran and flew up to it trying to punch and kick it. But the beak was too huge. The bird started chasing me around even more now so I decided to use my fingers to shoot a flaming ball at it. I charged it up flying backwards as it came at me and released the flame at it. The flame ball missed though and exploded on the ground. I tried charging another one but my powers weren't working.
I tried to squeeze out the walls and windows but couldn't either. So the bird cornered me.

I kept walking back thinking of a time to strike a attack. But I could see the bird was now changing into a man who now yelled the fight was over and he won. I wasn't ready to give up though so I jumped and punched him a couple times in the face. I than ran out because I could feel my control was diminishing.When I got outside I appeared on a nice looking street than ran into a subway stairs. I appeared in a huge formal bathroom where there were lots of anime and non anime characters around.

I looked in a mirror and noticed my hair was a poofy dark blonde and tried to change it. It turned light blonde than to jet black.I asked the DCs if I looked Okay and they all said no. I looked into the mirror again and saw my face had a lot of colorful make up on it. A DC girl told me not to worry though cause that wasn't my real look. I said i wanted to make it right though and poured water on my hair to see if it would work. One of my old friends walked in and saw me and I jumped back and tried to hide using a anime guy that was near me. They laughed at how foolish I was acting.I than looked at the DC's shoes for some reason and noticed they had names on it. Than I woke up.

*sigh* Last night was pretty intense... while I've had (MUCH) worse nightmares, I woke up really scared.

So I was running around what seemed to be an abandoned neighbourhood. I was extremely paranoid, was really sure someone was following me. Finally, I saw this house that was familiar to me. I entered it. The windows were huge (in fact, most of the walls were made of glass), so I kept throwing myself on the floor and behind tables and sofas just so that I could "hide". I wasn't really me, though. I was two people: a guy, who was all by himself; and a girl, who lived at that house and wanted to find her brother. I kept changing, sometimes I was him, sometimes I was her. Somehow, that made sense.

While I was there, I kept getting my "stuff" ready: taking food, clothes and whatever else I could find that seemed important, like a first-aid kit, knives, bats and shovels to protect myself... then, I saw a group of "things" outside and hid. I was the guy, then, and suddenly I was a leader of my own group, who were all in the living room with me and hiding too. The "things" outside were supposed to be zombies, I think. But they were very much alive, they could talk and everything.

While we were all hiding, the door opened and we all just froze. But it was the girl's brother. I was happy, even though by then I was just the guy and was no longer the girl too. So we all got together and realised we had to move. So we left the living room and the house turned into some sort of museum. And we could hear the "creatures" behind us. And then they were also in front of us. We were at this very weird, small corridor. It was actually a vertical corridor, separating two rooms. We shut the doors and started freaking out, since we couldn't go back, couldn't go forward and they'd find us sooner rather than later.

There was a window really high, so we decided to climb up and run away through it. I went first, as the leader. As I opened the window, I could hear a meeting of the creatures. They were kind of having a cult. I realised we were right next to a building of theirs and they had soldiers around the whole perimeter. One of them saw me and offered me a chance to join their cult and be one of them.

I let myself fall on my back and told myself "I give up. There's no point in living anymore and I want to die now". I never fell on the floor, my body was floating, but moving backwards, and I was followed but nothing but whiteness. I felt light and I knew I had died.

I woke up scared as hell. This was NOT even that scary, considering the dreams I usually have, but... for some reason, I woke up completely freaked out. It took me almost an hour to fall asleep again because my heart was racing.

I fell asleep again and now I was in this weird... place. It was like a city, I think. Everything was destroyed. There were people starving on the streets. I had a friend with me (no idea who he was, but I trusted him) and we knew we had to go to another place. We found my car. We got in really fast, but there wasn't enough fuel inside of it. Two guys showed up and told us they could help us. We didn't want to talk to them, but they kept trying, telling us we could use the electric part of the car to make it work. Which makes no sense. However, in the dream, it totally worked. So, the only thing they asked in return was for us to take them with us, because one of the guys was looking for his daughter. He was old already, so his daughter was already an adult, but he hadn't seen her ever since she was a child. Since my friend and I didn't have a destination, we just wanted to get the hell out of there, we accepted it.

After a while, I was walking on my own. No idea how that happened. I found lots of dead people everywhere, they looked terrible. As if something had eaten their skin from inside. There was a lot of blood too, as if they had pissed and pooped all of their blood. One of them was the guy's daughter, I was sure of it. As I looked around, I learnt (no idea how) that she had gotten sick and died in nine days. For some reason, I knew the guy was sick too, so I had to find him because I knew he had very little time.

As I was running, I ended up in another town. It was a crazy place. There were lots of buildings where navy people would stay for a couple of days and everybody was there for either sex or drugs (or both). I kept looking for the old man to tell him about his daughter. A woman stopped me and told me I could leave my backpack at her place. I think she was a prostitute, but she wasn't trying to seduce me or anything, she was honestly being nice. So I thanked her and left my things with her.

I got at the end of the "avenue" (on one side of it, there were only buildings; on the other, it was the ocean) and I knew I wasn't supposed to be there, but I saw my friend keep going, so I did the same and it was fine. But then, I entered another type of museum. There were bathrooms there, but they were kinda in the open. Still, I had to pee, so I went there. I sat down and put my hand in front of me, so that the guard couldn't see that I didn't have a penis. He was suspicious of me and wanted me to leave immediately. I got up fast and left. I went out again and the old man was too sick and dying.

Woke up, fell asleep again. Fragments:

I had to run away and I was in my car. I kept driving around cause I was a bit lost. I found my family. My dad wanted to drive the car even though I was the one driving. I got mad. There was also some weird stuff about a field on fire.

I was at this apartment that I dream about all the time. It looks a lot like my grandma's. My parents were there and we had to go fast because... I dunno, random emergency. It was serious and we had to run away. So I was packing my stuff. My dad showed up and he was like "we gotta go, I'll take your backpack already" and I freaked out cause I still had more clothes to take with me. I told him to take that one and I'd be there soon. My dad said okay and left. My mum found me and started complaining about the clothes I was taking with me. I told her it was the apocalypse, not a fashion show, and I just wanted to be comfortable. She was still complaining.

And that was it.

Morning of November 18, 2014. Tuesday.



Once again I am back in school, possibly Mr. F’s fifth grade classroom, but the setup is a little different and the teacher is unfamiliar. The directional orientation is a little more like a fourth grade class I had, in some ways. I am aware of best friend Toby T but I am the only student that remains in the classroom at one point. Still, there are open books on most of the desks. Apparently, the teacher (female and about twenty-five) has given me extra time to finish a writing task, which is to be a short story about five pages long, handwritten on sheets of plain notebook paper. There is absolutely no awareness of modern technology at any point in my dream.

A new dream type has become more viable recently (though likely temporary). It involves clearer writing within the dream state and interestingly, is not as frustrating as when reading a book in a dream (especially a longer book that eventually makes me overly tired after waking - more tired than if I had not slept at all), even though I have to read what I write both as I am writing and after.

The story slowly comes into development. I write about events as if they were occurring in a comic strip world and over time, there is at least one person that is stealing words from comic strip balloons, sometimes until the speech balloons are actually empty. The detail is fairly logical (in the order of sentences and descriptions in my story) with my writing not distorted (at least in grammar or spelling) but I do not recall my story that well. One scenario has someone using a bullhorn to somehow “protect” his speech balloon or make it “stronger” but that does not work.

After awhile, the person actually starts taking the entire speech balloons with some sort of walking-cane-like hook, similar to the Vaudeville gag where a giant hook removes people from the stage. He stores them in a locked otherwise empty room somewhere, stacking them against the wall like small sheets of plywood. It seems I have some illustrations (done by another student possibly or perhaps from a school textbook as an ELA writing prompt) that helps me enhance my story. The illustrations are taped to the top of a few of the five different pages, and every other page.

I am concerned about finishing the story, but I focus more in-dream and seemingly finish it. I do not awake feeling tired, either, regardless of my in-dream focus required to actually write without it changing when looking back. The teacher stays in the classroom for the most part but we do not talk to each other much.

The image that came up via Google was quite suitable but I probably would not tag it as precognitive (or in this case the term would be postcognitive since the drawing already existed).

This dream seems to primarily be about my perspective of certain aspects of mainstream society (especially the televised media and pop culture); comic-strip-like, with much of what people say worthy only of being “pulled off the stage” as in Vaudeville.

non lucid
*I was chilling with montre talking about positive quotes we left on facebook. Then I realized that I woke up late
and I had to call birch. I explained my story and said I would not be late again. He responded by saying yea I that's
not gonna happen.

First, nonlucid bits and bobs from this morning.

A dream about my mom starting a business. She was working with my father and many of the adults in my family to build her headquarters. I was for some reason complaining that the entrance was asymmetrical; it had two different windows on the sides that were different sizes. In fact, much of the building was like this. It was because she was trying to build it without using any blueprints to make a point about collaboration. Google Drive was involved somehow.

This somehow transitioned to or from a dream about simply driving around a city. All of the buildings look dream-logicy. Some were floating. Others took on strange or impossible shpaes.

Something to do with a superhero who's power was to give and take superpowers from other heroes. All of the powers would be stored on this ring, like a green lantern ring.
He gave 25% of his powers to two people and kept 50% for himself. I am unsure of what powers he gave/kept. He said something about power and how when humans have power they don't use it, and when they don't have it, they think they do.
This hologram on the ring showed that he had created a 'power gap'.

I was trying to shared dream with S. We got into this thing where we wanted to have a lucid dream battle. S summoned a fire dragon, and I summoned this robot from my comic known as Dream Crusher. We forgot to come up with the battlefield so it was just a white void.
DC shot all of these chains out of his hand and ensnared the dragon. (An ability he does not have in the comic.) The dragon tried to melt the chains. DC tried to smash him with his hammer. (An ability he does have.) The dragon broke free through strength and began fighting back.

I did LDs number 136 and 138. So this will be LD 137.

And a lil background: Night One - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

I had a rather long lucid dream where I can't quite recall what was going on. I can recall being in my own backyard and would periodically pull leaves off of trees and fly up in the sky. I can recall changing the clouds to be made of some kind of clay-like material and getting rid of them and I am trying all of these forms of dream control.
Some of it is working, and some of it is not. I was trying to talk to the dream, or my subconscious or whatever in a polite manner.
...
"Can we get these clouds to disappear please?"
...
"Can we get it to be lighter, please?"
...
"Can we get it to be warmer outside, please."
...
I see a giant picture of Benjamin Franklin with cat ears on the side of somebody's house. I needed something dream-logicy like that to become fully lucid.
I correctly recall my lucid goal was to give Manei the hair clip from my first night of lucid dreaming. I yell her name into the sky and see a black cat with blue eyes, sitting in front of a crystal grid on the patio. And of course she turns and runs the other way (for some reason.)
I begin chasing her up the side of my house. First things first, I put my hand behind my back, hoping I can manifest it. I feel a little thing drop into my hand.
And there it was! After four years I almost forgot what the dumb thing looked like. Before it was this huge, and a vibrant bright red. It looked darker and less vibrant than I recall from my first LD, it was also a lot smaller.
I'm see she is still running the other way. (I don't know, DGs are weird.)
"Come back, I just want to give you something. Then you can run off and do whatever it is you do."
She stops.
"The hair clip! From the first time I LD'd. I realized that I never actually gave it to you."
...
Manei.exe has stopped working. It took her a good five seconds. Then she seemed to remember what I was talking about.
...
"Well in that case, I'm going to have to change the whole story now. Turn around."
She changes back into human form while my back is turned. We start walking together up around the front of my house. It's cloudy and overcast, and for some reason there are portraits of famous people with hilarious accessories such as MLK with sunglasses and a YOLO cap, and George Washington with headphones on the side of peoples houses. There was some dream-logicy explanation, like a contest or something.
We sit down in my front yard. The dream that was originally cold and gray seems to be getting a lot brighter now.
"Here, take this, I have no use for it."
She took it, still looking somewhat befuddled. I guess dream guides aren't all that used to getting gifts.
Then I remembered the extra credit homework. I wanted to give her a headband or bandanna, like the one that I wear in WL. I wanted it to have my lucid dream symbol on it.

(sorry I could only find a picture of it in cyan.)
"Now, then, if you still want my wardrobe advice..."
I put my hand behind my back *Le Manifest*.
Successful again. It's even a tan color, the color I imagined making it. They symbol isn't right though. For some reason looks like this.

I look on the reverse and see the logo from my Taekwondo studio.
"Okay, I didn't get the symbols right, but I want you to have it anyway. I think you would look good in a bandanna."
For some reason my oldest living cat enters the dream (I've had four cats IWL. the oldest one is dead.) . He does this thing that he does IWL where he puts his rear end in the air asking you to scratch near the base of the tail. I start scratching him. I get the dream ending feeling, and just let the thing come to an end. While it fades out, I say something to myself like "Let's begin again"...

And now it's 1:30am and I am filled with all the giggly feels you get when you accomplish a lucid goal.

And if she actually wears that bandanna next time, I will have no words.

A memorable tag for this lucid.

Dream 1 - Choose a dream (3:09am)
Vaguely remember this dream, something about choosing which dream I wanted to go into next, there were sheep involved and I think someone I knew was playing a guitar and the started playing a song that I've been learning, but they were showing off about it or something.

Dream 2 - Fish & Chips
I'm walking through my hometown at night, I'm in the parking lot and I see my friend D. He seems to have a job at the local fish and chips shop, he offers to make me a meal but it wasn't fish and chips, it was like some crazy dessert pavlova-look-a-like that was super extravagant and exotic.

Dream 3 - WILD (closest thing I've had to a WILD success)
I'm trying to go through my SSILD cycles, I start to notice a WILD transition come on (vibrations and hypnogogia). I try not to focus on them too much like I did the other two times this is happened to me (which I screwed up >_<) and nearly lost it at one point. But then I realized I could egg the vibrations to intensify by using my jaw, tensing it or something. The vibrations intensify to an extreme level, my jaw is buzzing and grinding and vibrating so much the I feel like my tooth is about to break. I make it to the dream, but as I do this my tooth shatters.
I think "Oh ****, my tooth!" My first instinct was to wake up, so I do this and hop out of bed, I spit the tooth into my hand, I can feel the missing slot in my mouth where my tooth was... I stare at the tooth in my hand in disbelief...
I wake up. I had been in a false awakening

I order coke, yet I am given beer! (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was attending college during this dream. I was in a class related to a major in cooking. I really did not like the class, as the teacher was having a very scientific approach to cooking and there was no hands on training at all, just lectures and I really felt that cooking was all about hands on. Some other students, two females, where sharing the same thoughts as I, so we would get into hands on training after class. It was my first time to join them, even though they already were doing these side classes.







The settling looked similar to the above photo, in fact, the uniform was pretty similar. I was given a small round device, it had the same of a pill, but it was about a feet in size. It had a special combination and I needed to put three numbers 2 in a row. I struggled a lot to do this, but I was finally able to and suddenly the "pill" released a black apron, some cooking utensils and some made up devices that I have no idea what they were for. One of the ladies was happy and I got dressed to cook. We cooked some food, even though, I cannot remember what it was.

We decided to go on a break and we went to a mall. They were going to buy a bed and we were going to share it, even thought, there was no sexual intents from neither of our ends. The matress store had several beds displayed outdoors and we laid down to try some of the beds. One was a water bed and I told her I had my doubts they would allow that bed in the apartment, since usually water beds are banned due insurance.

From here, we went to the food court and they were going to pick up food while I went to buy the drinks at a little store that sold drinks. This store was like a bar and there were four employees. I ordered two Coke Zero and every time that the employee prepared the drink, it was a beer. I told them I wanted no beer and the employees started to be rude with me. They made me wait, assisted other clients and eventually, would bring me another beer. I was tired of waiting so long until one of the ladies ended up meeting with me. I was tempted of just jumping the bar and preparing the cokes myself, afterall, I could see the soda dispenser right in front of me and I could not understand where the problem was, but I did not as I could get into trouble.

From here, a lot happened but I forgot. As soon as I reached my journal from bed, I recalled the early part of the dream (written above) and inmediately, forgetting the last part of the dream.

i was laying down face up on my yoga matt. i closed my eyes and drifted off. it was one of those very darkish sort of dream where you really cant tell if you are dreaming or not. however i could hear things. then there was some voice in the room with me asking me to take something off my desk. i don't remember the exact dialogue but basically there was a voice in the room that was talking to me. i realized this was strange and i tried to move. it was quite difficult to move and i could not even open my mouth to speak. i sort of panicked and tried to talk but could not. then i remembered oh yes this is sleep paralysis. so i then just thought okay all you need to do is roll out of your body. i tried to do that but worke up soon after. not satisfied i tried to go to sleep and kept hearing noises.

I've only slept for three hours last "night" (went to bed at eight in the morning). So all I have is a tiny fragment.

I was in a house with some people from a forum where I post. There was a lot of water there, like a flood. A girl said that it was normal and it happened all the time, so I didn't worry too much about it.

Another girl showed up and complained about the font she was using. Even though everybody was there physically, we were all communicating online. So I told her I could her with the font. She turned to me super pissed off and was all "I'm not fucking stupid, I know what the problem is!" and I got sad.

That was it.

Finding treasures and selling Real Estate by accident (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was going into some sort of treasure hunt, but this was indoors. At some point in the dream, someone dug a whole on the ground and there was a treasure chest, it was buried and full of dirt, but looked something like this:



We were about to pull it up, but someone came so we placed a huge iron lid on top of the hole. A while after, I went back to the room and I saw that the hole was much bigger. I figured my friend was in there and said:

"Dude... don't be obvious."

Now, instead of just dirt, I saw light and some pathways, so I jumped inside the hole and I could saw long aisles with a lot of doors and rooms, all of them fully furnished. Most of these rooms where furnished with very old school furniture, mainly made out of wood and iron and I believe there were no electronics at all, even the lights were touches.

I somehow got out and I was in front of a huge state and some people was there interested on seeing the house. I figured I could not show them the house in that state, but I explained features about the house. I wondered why I got into this since I do not even work on Real Estate, but they appeared very happy and we went to a picnic table to talk about the house. I made very good friends with them and I figured someone would be proud because I sold the house, as they wanted to move in immediately. I wondered if I could also get someone to rent the house uphill from my own house.

I got inside what it is my house, but now it was a bar loaded with clients and I had a boss, who was a bartender but also a Real Estate manager, telling him about the house and that the clients were on their way. I was kind of thrilled and wondered if I was going to get paid or something. I also had a lot of thoughts, very inspiring thoughts, some personal, some I cannot recall and despite I was not lucid, I was in a state of bliss and hapiness for some reason.

I got into the bathrooms and I wanted to shower, but I could not find my things and I was wondering where was my own bathroom and not public restrooms that is what I found. Also, I was now naked and worried my "clients" would see me but naked and get upset and not buy the house.

I've come to a group of buildings with many rooms, with people sleeping inside. I stick my head inside one, and the woman inside starts talking. I hear her voice distorted, like a phone call with a bad connection; her mouth isn't moving, she still looks asleep. I apologize for waking her up, I hadn't meant to, and when she stops talking I enter the room. I put my hand on her head, and I lose visuals and get an impression of many voices, very quiet. I'm aware this is an opportunity to listen in on her dream.

It seems to be morning now; for a moment I think I've just skipped over her dream entirely. I'm in her apartment, and her bed is empty; so's the bed where her roommate sleeps. I look out the window, and see her on her bike. She's late for class, and wondering why/how she slept so late. She sees me standing on the sidewalk, and tells me I better hurry too if I want to get to school on time. She thinks I'm one of her students.

I leave her and walk through a park near her school, watching a squirrel run along a branch. As I'm walking a woman sitting in one of the trees addresses me. She asks how to get close to a human. It's the usual, I tell her - you talk with them, you create shared experiences, you care about them.

I'm aware that woman's just altered this reality. I'm returning to a home where I live with various people, and that woman from the tree is there; she's a part of this 'family.' She's set things up so that everyone thinks she's this beautiful ideal; someone compares her to Quan Yin. The part of me that still recognizes that this is a scenario she created is amused. Setting yourself up as an ideal isn't a very realistic way to experience being part of a family, but whatever floats your boat. We eat a large dinner of various rare dishes, everyone contributing a different one, and I'm a little irritated because I know I'm not going to remember all these dishes when I wake up, there's too many of them to keep track of, and the dream goes through them too quickly. But when the meal's done, we're all sent out to hunt for some new rare dish to bring back to that woman from the tree. I and one of my 'sisters' wander through an arcade, looking for something rare.

Dream 1

Something I don't recall happened than I was inside a wooden square area where there was a shower. I was in the shower but it was cold so i got out quick. Couldn't find my clothes though so I just grabbed a blanket.I was aware it was a dream after I noticed I was in a country like place. In front of me there was a tall guy, a little girl and my mom.They were walking up a hill and I decided to follow them.(A pink night gown appeared on me)I told the guy I was going to follow him and was making a joke but he just called me a punk like I was annoying him. For some reason I felt like he was a distant cousin or someone I saw before but I don't really know.

Anyways we ended up going inside a apartment and I saw two stands of candies like they have in the supermarket. Curious, I asked "Where did all this candy come from?" The little girl said her mom collects candy. After that I tried playing around with the tall guy but than everything paused quickly and a drawing of a figure with a footprint appeared in my hand. A voice than appeared saying " Just one footprint was seen before the silent killer made his move". Than everything turned white and I was on the ground and I could feel lots of baby mice crawling in my shoes. But I couldn't get up. Apparently I was dead in the dream or something. I woke up after that.

Dream 2

I appeared at a subway and was observing a lady I knew. My mom distracted me though and we were now at a huge store buying pots and pans and a ice cube tray. I dropped it though and recall appearing in a empty apartment room. I was on a white bed though and my mom was sitting in front of me. The place felt familiar but I didn't know where I was. The walls were white and there was wood flooring.After a bit I appeared in my house. I was in my parents room and decided to make Eye appear. A DC appeared but it seemed really dum and hyper so I pushed it out of my way and left out through the front door. The scenery was sort of dim so I shouted for the dream to get brighter. I than walked and shouted for it to get more brighter since it wasn't enough for me. But it was now a colorful brightness.

I flew up and decided I wanted to change the scene to a anime place. "Turn into a anime world!" I shouted. Anime like trees,buildings,sky and other stuff began to appear but than all of a sudden I started hearing the animal crossing theme and everything appeared as a animal crossing scenery. It was really nice and pretty though. Below I could see a yellow bunny villager that was strange looking trying to do something. I wanted to get closer but flew into a street light. The villagers started shouting at me because I broke their lamp. I said sorry than started thinking about how I wanted to be with Eye. I than appeared at a street place walking with a guy somewhere. He said he was looking for his glasses and friend. I took his hand and told him to follow me. But everything stopped and the guys voice appeared saying " And that's how we became best friends". Than I woke up.
