    Non-Lucid Dreams

    1. Ryu the Earthbender

      by , 10-18-2014 at 01:30 PM (Lucid Time!)
      Considering I went to bed past midnight, lucky I had recall at all.

      Fragment: Something to do with cat vomit. A lot of it. I had to clean it up.

      Fragment: Something to do with a game where you built and fought with Lego airplanes. I was helping other people refine their designs.

      So I was watching some series that was supposedly a Spin-Off from Korra. I think it actually took place even later on the timeline, because the technology in here was very advanced. In Legend of Korra, they love to show off the new technologies as the world advances and this was no exception.
      The story starts off with Ryu, the main character living in an Earth Kingdom village. It turns out that he uses his earthbending to make sculptures, but isn't very good at it.
      Then one day, the village comes under attack by some common bandits and he tries to fight them off and give chase. He chases them onto a train and the train leaves before Ryu can fight them off.
      After defeating all of the bandits, Ryu is thanked by the original owners of the train. He learns that the train was actually a hijacked military train and they were looking for a group of criminals called the Mao gang.
      ...
      Some time passed. Ryu is taught how to Metalbend by the military people and (despite his art skills lacking) he is a good fighter.
      ...
      Then I recall there was a train chase. The Mao's train has a high-speed engine and begins catching up to them. There are some Firebenders and Airbenders who fire on the back of the train. Earth and Metalbenders from the military train retaliate. They fire a grapple into the engine of the Mao's train and slide across. But the boarding party is promptly defeated.
      Mao's train then reveals it has a secret. One of the cars' roofs opens and out come helicopters. Ryu is on the roof just in time to see this new technology. For some reason (Out of character for the show) the choppers have machine guns on them.
      Ryu's commander uses Metalbending to stop the bullets, and tells Ryu to go. Ryu tears up part of the train with Metalbending and makes a glider to fly across. The commander continues fighting the helicopter.
      Ryu fights his way onto the enemy train. He manages to make it to Mao's war room, near the back of the train. Here it is revealed that there is no 'Mao Gang' but that Mao is just one person, with a multiple personality disorder. He is bald, and I am speculating that he might be an Airbender.
      He has a large map, and for some reason the map is of Earth, not the avatar world. He has 'X's over the areas that he wants to conquer.

    2. GOD DAMN IT! (non-lucid dream and DILD lucid dream)

      by , 10-18-2014 at 12:58 PM
      So, this is my first DJ entry. I got inspired to once again get up on that horse and continue my quest for lucid dreams due to a pretty enervating experience i had this night, so I decided to start a dream journal here on DV.

      First Dream of the Night (non-lucid/fragments)

      It was a beautifully sunny summer day, and I found myself, dressed in my swim-shorts, being on some kind of wooden construction in the middle of a lake/on the ocean. The construction was almost like a big raft, but it didn't float - it was somehow grounded. On the wooden thingy are two headphones, more precisely my pair of headphones and my friends pair that i borrowed from him the day before. I pick up my pair and drop them in the water. Terrified of breaking or losing them to the deep water (they are pretty expensive) i grab a hold of the cord and try to pull them out of the water. But unfortunately the cord disconnects with the headphones (the cord is not integrated with them, so it could happen IRL too) and i see them sink into the water.

      Now the weird stuff starts to happen that i don't really remember much of. Somehow i start to levitate or fly, but it's not willingly and i can't control where I'm going. Levitating higher and higher I again find my headphones, that earlier sank into the water, in my hands. Immediately afterwards the unknown force that controlled my flying started to thrust me in air in all possible directions. I let go of my headphones and then I don't remember anything else.

      Second Dream of the Night (DILD lucid dream)
      I woke up at around 7AM due to my autistic brother waking up and being in a bad mood (meaning he starts shouting/screaming). He kept me awake for a good 30 minutes where i got up, went to the toilet and got a cup of water.

      After falling asleep again i find myself in a house, standing in the entrance doorway. In the room in front of me there are children playing so I know that I'm in a family home. A head springs out from the other room and a DC walks into the room with the children. It's a girl that I was in the same class with in high school that i never really cared about or found attractive or even liked. At that moment when I saw her i immediately knew that I was dreaming. I just knew it so I didn't even bother to do a reality check. I stood still for a couple of seconds trying to get a hold of how stable the dream was and found that it was in fact really stable, and I also noticed that I was a lot more lucid than I usually am in other LD's. All good!

      I'm not proud of it but my primitive urges got a hold of me after I got lucid, so I followed the girl into the next room where we sat on the couch next to each other. She was watching the TV, but I just whipped out my dick and started to stroke it while watching her reaction. To my surprise she didn't actually engage in a sexual activity but just said "oh no, you got the wrong idea" and stood up and walked into another room. I didn't really care about that and thought to myself "yeah well maybe that's for the best, she's not hot anyway lol". I got up and followed her, because I wanted to turn her into another girl. She had closed the door behind her and right before I'm about to open it she opens it and walks to me. It's just that she isn't she anymore - she is an even uglier girl that's dressed in a dominatrix costume and ready to have sex, but I felt like it was her anyway. "Oh hell no, I'm not getting into that shit" I say to myself, and turn around so I'm not facing her anymore. I'm trying to imagine her as a girl that I know that i find really attractive and also had a crush on for quite a while. I turn around, and she's almost transformed (half/half ugly girl/hot girl). I do it again and now she's fully transformed into that beautiful girl. And she's looking naughty too She guides me upstairs to a bedroom where she sits and winks at me.

      Now the worst thing that could happen happens. I feel the LD freezing in time and I immediately know that something is wrong. I can hear my brother again from outside the dream, waking me up with his shouting. I'm starting to feel my physical body more and more until the dream is completely gone and I'm awake. Needless to say, I was pretty pissed off this morning...

    3. Brought the little one to the kindergarten

      by , 10-18-2014 at 12:27 PM (4th DJ-Attempt)
      .../I'm squatting to let the little devil go to play with her friends. She doesn't want to let me go and tuns back to hug me. It makes me fall on my back. I stand up, and start talking with one of her teachers. We have a conversation about Lego bricks. She tells me she used to play with her dad building a castle and a bridge that used to fall. I tell her that my brother and I, used to build a brick with plastic soldiers standing there, and threw batteries against it until it was completely "devastated". I remember I was around 8 when we did that, and I tell her it was like saying goodbye to that era. Because of it was one of the last times I remember playing with my old brother that way. She tells me that's exactly what the Gipsy Kings sing in one of their songs, they say: "My son didn't want to hear me, that's why I burned him"/...

      * Alarm clock went off long ago and I realize it's late again, I have to run... again.
    4. I saw my avatar fighting

      by , 10-18-2014 at 12:14 PM (4th DJ-Attempt)
      .../It's the second time some characters of the game Summoners War get into a dream. This time I see a sequence of a fight where my avatar changed its colors and used a sword to fight against a salamander which is defeated in around 4 moves. I try to repeat the sequence/...

      * I will try to use change those colors in my avatar, it seemed to be pretty interesting
    5. Fat Derpy Planes!

      by , 10-18-2014 at 11:54 AM (Welcome to my dreams!)
      1. [Non-Lucid]
      I am driving down these really narrow flat roads, there is a black fog so I can only see a few feet in front of me, I then see a fence to my left and realize its an airport but there is no runway...the fog subsides and I can see these 2 small derpy looking fat faced planes (I think to myself I hope I can get in and drive 1), so I walk over to 1 and to my surprise I can enter and drive 1 . I need to get myself to an area to take off so I drive forward and turn around (this plane is really sluggish to control), I notice a reasonably flat and long area so I drive up this ramp and into a building with a few people in there running away, there are big glass windows at the front so I floor it and go flying through the windows, I am about to take off and then I wake up due to getting extremely excited/aroused.

      2. [Non-Lucid]
      I found a cake shop filled with these amazing looking cakes and saw the 1 I wanted on the TV in the shop, so I asked do you have that cake in stock? he said no then rambled on about something.


      Fragments:

      I was told I have cancer in my shoulder so I had to go to hospital to get tested.

    6. The Dreams of an Insomniac

      by , 10-18-2014 at 10:23 AM (Krista's Dream Journal)
      Dream - Lucid

      I was laying in my parents' bed on my dad's side in the house I grew up in. I kept looking at the clock, waiting for when I had to get up. My friend, Mk's dad, was in the house for some reason. He came in the room and was talking to me. I was kind of uncomfortable. He came in the room and talked to me.

      I was thinking about which work I was going to. Was in the bakery, or the coffee shop? I "remembered" that my old boss from the coffee shop said I could go back there any time, and she was going to schedule me for Thursday (which was the current day in the dream). I never got a solid confirmation that she was going to do that, and I hadn't worked at that shop in so long, I didn't know what to do. I looked at the clock and it was after 5am. It was getting too late for me to go anyway. I decided to stay home.

      I was then at a restaurant at Disney with my brother and I think his fiance? We were in a restaurant. We were then in this place that was holding some sort of scary Halloween show. I didn't want to stay there, so I left. I was then going down some stairs/a ramp (can't recall which). All these moving walkways were coming off of the stairs/ramp going out to the left and right. There were people on the walkways. It was some attraction at Disney that had been modified for Halloween. The employees on the walkways would get you from the main staircase/ramp as they were about to pass you and take you on their moving walkway with them and guide you through the now haunted attraction. I was leaving and alone, so I didn't want to go. I avoided getting the attention of any employees.

      When I got to the bottom and close to the door, I decided I did want to go on it after all. I thought I saw my brother coming in through the door, which would be great because he could go with me, but it turned out to be someone else. I turned around to look at the stairs/ramp and the moving walkways. I watched an employee come up behind a black man and get behind him as he moved onto the moving walkway. He hadn't seemed to have startled him.

      Barely slept, got up around 4am for work. Gotta do the same thing again tomorrow. -_-;
    7. A kid false-awakens me and I find 27 kittens

      A kid false-awakens me and I find 27 kittens (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I had a false awakening when I found myself being false-awoken by a kid who was screaming at me. For some reason this kid needed help to find something in the house, but as he was sharing this with me, I dozed off back to sleep and I could see that he was placing a piece of manchego cheese on my mouth:







      I felt weird because I would not feel like cheese when I did not even got off from bed, but I was false-awoken once more from this same kid. Apparently, during my sleep I made a huge mess during the house, like if I was a zombie or something. I got out of bed and I found myself in a huge home, it had over 20 rooms and very high end decor, with a lot of upscale wooden furniture. Apparently, there was magic too at this places and there were some rooms under some spells.

      I toured around the house with that kid's parents (and I believe now I was that kid) and they shown a few rooms. One of them, had a smashed piano and a lot of food sitting around:







      In other room, it was like dark, with very dark blue colors and it was all messed up also. I was also taken to the kitchen, where the fridge was empty and open as well as damaged. The parents appeared pretty upset, but I did not understand what was going on. I tried to scape this place without success, so I was flying in confusion. I saw a huge crystal building, but I had no clue how to enter it, it had some sort of force-field.

      A voice told me to follow a magical fish so I started to swim and saw some rocks that I could break. As I followed this being, I realized that it was a way to enter the house, underwater. As I got in, the home looked well furnished and apparently, I was going to live there now, and my wife appared out of nowhere. Now it was me again (in my real dream body) and there were 27 kittens sitting one next to each other on a huge bookcase. My wife told me now we owned all those cats. I wondered how my cats would feel about living with 27 more.
    8. Plane crash

      Plane crash (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I was inside a plane and there were a lot of people in it, more than normal. I felt uneasy and I had a bad premonition about something nasty about to happen (I love to fly and I have taken a plane hundreds of times during my whole life) Then, the dream turned in third person and I could see the plane sideways and about to hit the ground with a wing, until it did, crashing big time, but the impact did not hurt and neither the people freaked out (despite some of them were injured.) The dream now went back into first person and I was at the airport and I could see the plane in very bad shape, but only, on the wing it actually crashed:







      I needed to wait at the airport to provide energy healings to people as many as I could as well as to heal myself (apparently, now I had a wounded arm.)

      From here, I became a personnel of the airport and I was taking to a co-worker about the big mess and wondering how long it would take to cleanse everything.

      I also told him that I won a $15 million jackpot on the lottery and I wanted to travel around the world. I could see that there were many people at the airport, but they all were outside, running around where the planes were landing and taking off (now the airport apparently was functioning like if nothing happened.)

      I also saw cars driving and there were some criminals shooting people. I felt at peace because somehow I knew I was not in danger.

      Smoked bees (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I was having a drink with my wife at a cafe and suddenly i heard the noise of buzzing bees. I tried to stay still to face my fear to bees, but suddenly, I saw that there were some guys smoking the bees:







      I then started to feel very uncomfortable because these bees where indeed disturbed and they could sting me because of this. I stood up while my wife kept staying, "Stay still, it's okay!" I told her that the bees were angry and i ran indoors into the cafe.

    11. Stop Sign Beat-Down

      by , 10-17-2014 at 08:17 PM
      Non-Dream Dream

      Dream 1:

      I believe I had this dream twice in a row last night - as if I did things wrong the first time through and then I had an opportunity to fix things the second time. I only remember the second one. I am in a house in a narrow kitchen with white tile. There is an evil woman (possibly a witch) there who I am supposed to battle - I think it is a sword fight. There is a large crowd and they are all on my side because apparently this woman is terrorizing our civilization. She is an older woman - possibly in her 50s - and in my dream I think she is my mom (although she bears no resemblance to my mother in waking life).

      We go out into the back yard and the setting resembles something out of the show Game of Thrones. There is a small concrete section in the back right corner of the yard. The woman steps onto this section with her back to the stone fences and is ready for battle although she has no weapon. Instead of a sword I have what appears to be a stop sign. She gets into a position where her arm is somehow laid out on the concrete. I walk up to her holding the stop sign by the metal post and start hitting / smashing her arm with the sign portion. Initially she laughs at me. (This is very similar to the scene in Game of Thrones where Daenerys ties the lady up to the wooden structure and sets her on fire. The lady initially says she will not scream but ends up screaming later). After several smashes it begins to hurt her but she has too much pride to show any weakness. I continue smashing and she eventually breaks and screams "please stop!" She stands up and I continue smashing the sign over her head until her shoulder ignites. The fire spreads across her entire body. She drops to her knees and changes into a younger woman and starts calling out for her mother.

      Dream 2:

      I am at work in a lab. I am running western blots on my DEG project looking for BR. The results show crystal clear degradation products - 16 bands to be exact. I ask SC if the number of bands correlate with splice variants.

      Dream 3:

      I am out in the woods with RL and AM from work. I have a high powered rifle with a scope. There are two people guarding a bright blue orb that I am supposed to destroy. I am hiding in the bushes next to a larger group of the enemies. I sneak around this group and go up a hill to where the guards are. I take out the one of the guards with a single shot and then I have trouble shooting the other one. He is a much better fighter. Just like in "Dream 1" I get a do-over like in a video game. This time I try to take out the good fighter first. It takes me two shots but I get him, then I easily take out the other guard. In order to get to the blue orb I have to sprint across a 100ft section where I am susceptible to being shot by the larger group below. I make it past and start shooting the orb as the large group closes in on me. It takes 3 shots to destroy the orb.

      Dream 4:

      I am on a red planet with no plant life and no structures. Just dirt as far as the eye can see - similar to what I imagine mars would look like on the surface. There are giant rolling hills everywhere which makes it difficult to see very far. There are enemies scattered around and they can be identified easily because wherever they stand the ground turns black.
    12. Two Types of Giants

      by , 10-17-2014 at 04:17 PM
      Morning of October 17, 2014. Friday.



      In my first dream, I start to go out the back door into the backyard of our present home. Before I get outside, I notice, to my right, a long row of watermelons growing on an oversized watermelon plant. They are each about twice the size of a real one and also longer than normal. At first I am in awe about the overgrowth and wonder why they have not yet been picked or used. I then start to think about how we could live on them for a long time. They look very healthy and nutritious.

      My above dream experience was seemingly triggered in a telepathic sense (for lack of a better term), as my wife saw a very large watermelon on a television show she had watched and not mentioned it to me at all. She said she had been wondering how they grew so big. This happens continuously from day to day though; that is - dreaming of something Zsuzsanna had been focused on but not told me about. There is, however, an interpretation at that level regardless of the other influences. It always relates to an interesting and complex very personal synchronicity.

      In another dream, there is a foundry that is somewhat rundown but still in operation in an unknown town. Two unknown males are working at the time. They seem to be in a cheerful mood. There are numerous giant antlions (both larva and adult flying form) that come in, seemingly endless in number. They (the larvae) are each about the size of a watermelon. Many of them (mostly the larvae) end up falling into a deep shaft or deep vertical pipeline where they are apparently incinerated. The multitude of these giant insects does not seem that threatening a situation even though they seem to be all over the world. Their being trapped like this seems to be some sort of coordinated effort to decrease their population.

      It is curious that both watermelons and antlions represent sensuality, the first in a positive life-enriching sense, the second in a negative sense regarding commitment (in fact, the main genus of antlion is Myrmeleon, an amusing but unintentional distorted play on “my melon”). Watermelons, with their round curves and pink flesh, are nourishing, while ants go so far and then are committed to their choice and cannot get away from their involvement no matter how much they tread ground. This is probably me contemplating how I see myself in contrast to society. I have had fulfilling sensuality most of my life, especially over the last twenty years, yet at some levels, see human society as an “infestation”, yet not without a “foundry” to reshape potential.

    13. [LUCID] Beer in space / Scanning stations / At the hotel / Traffic signal + Flying and pumpkin hunt

      by , 10-17-2014 at 02:56 PM
      I go to bed at 10:50, intending to get up with my wife's 6:30 alarm. A few hours later I wake for some reason (no recall) and return to sleep. At 3:10 a kid makes noise and wakes me. I jot down a fragment then return to sleep. At 5:50 a kid wakes me as she uses the bathroom. She's coughing once she returns to bed, so I take her some water. I can't seem to get back to sleep, and I hear my wife's restlessness and know she can't either. At 6:15 she gets up and showers, and I fall asleep while she's in the shower.


      Beer in space
      I'm on a very traditional star ship (or maybe a space station?), walking through the corridors. It's a very traditional design, with identical gray corridors meeting frequently. I'm totally lost, but that's OK: I'm wandering around the place trying to get a feel for it.

      Now I see the officers in the conference room, where everyone is looking out the windows. Captain Picard looks out last and gets a disgusted look on his face when he sees what the rest do: a giant brown beer bottle floating in space, spinning slowly. As the label rotates into view, everyone can see it has a goofy picture of the captain, and the name of the beer and its catch phrase are poking fun at the captain. Everyone immediately knows this was done by Q.


      Scanning stations
      I'm watching as defense stations around the world are doing some kind of scan. As I'm initially watching, there are 5 stations, but the number keeps growing as the dream continues. At first, I'm watching from inside some kind of control room. I'll see a quick clip from one control room, then I'll see a clip from a different control room in a different station. I can tell I'm seeing different stations because the people in the room change, but the room itself stays exactly the same. I'm surprised they'd use such an obvious trick to try to save on production costs; even the camera angle stays exactly the same! The last room I see is being run by a stocky Russian woman, and everyone is speaking in (what I identify as) Russian (though I can't understand a word of it).

      Now I'm looking at a map of the earth that has all the stations marked out on it. I see red arcs appear from every station to every other station, then start to shrink. I assume that whatever is still under the arcs still needs to be scanned, and the places the arcs have shrunk away from are already scanned and determined not to have anything interesting.


      At the hotel
      I'm in a nicely appointed bathroom. It's long and thin; one wall has a long row of sinks followed by a long row of urinals, while the other wall has only stalls. I'm walking back from the urinals towards the sinks. Initially I think I'm alone, but then I realize there's a woman at one of the sinks closest to me. I'm very surprised to see a woman in here, but I just walk around her and go on my way. She's doing something at her sink (washing her teeth, maybe?), and there's stuff on the floor around her (towels?).

      Now I'm in the (impossibly huge) foyer of a hotel, standing in the middle at what I first assume to be a concierge desk. I'm with other people I know, and someone is talking about coffee. I realize that this isn't a concierge desk but is rather a tiny Starbucks. While he's getting his coffee, a woman in my group who's standing near me tells her friend that she's never had Starbucks and wonders what it's like. I tell her that Starbucks coffee is too heavily roasted, almost burnt, for my tastes.

      Now I see a couple of people with small plates of food. I look around to see where it may have come from and realize that on the other side of the Starbucks is a small table with lots of fruit on it - I specifically see strawberries and chunks of pineapple. Despite being right next to the Starbucks, I think it's actually provided by the hotel, so it's probably complementary. I think about going and getting some.


      Unclear traffic signal + Flying and pumpkin hunt
      I'm driving a car of some kind, maybe an SUV (I've never driven an SUV IRL). I'm stopped at the top of a hill, waiting on a ramp to join with a larger road that's down and to my left. Between the large road and my ramp is a HUGE board that reminds me of a scoreboard at an athletic event. Most of the middle of the board is taken up with rows that look like they should be holding team names and scores; around the edge of the board I see more than one set of red/yellow/green traffic lights. Initially, the board is completely blank. Nothing is on the rows, and all the lights are off. Eventually one of the greens on the left-front of the board turns on, but since it's away from me I assume it's for the other road. Other lights start cycling, though none on the right. Up to this point I've been alone at the top of the ramp, but I still start to get concerned that maybe one of those lights was supposed to be for me, and I'd hate to hold up traffic. As I'm thinking about this, I realize that a motorcyclist is going around me, tired of waiting for me to go. I check my mirror and am horrified to see a long line of cars waiting behind me. I decide to ignore whatever the strange sign is trying to tell me and just go.

      Now I'm on a three-lane, one-way street. Somehow I'm aware of the driver behind me not liking the left-hand merges he has to do on this road. I think nothing of the strangeness of knowing what another driver is thinking/talking about, but I do try to figure out what he means. If you're switching left, you merge left; if you're switching right, you merge right; so what's the big deal? I can't see how this road changes anything.

      I start to get a vague sense of "wrongness" and decide to do a nose-pinch RC. Initially, it only seems to deepen the sense of wrongness; something's not right, but I can't quite put my finger on it. I keep doing it, eventually realizing that, yes, I'm still breathing through my nose (left nostril only), even though it's pinched. I do it a couple more times to confirm that, yes, I'm really dreaming.

      Now I'm standing in front of a house on a kind of rock path made of very coarse white gravel and small rocks. The scene is very fuzzy, and I know I need to ground myself in the dream. I start by looking at my hand, but it's badly out of proportion, and I really want something to keep me here and not convince me I shouldn't be here. I kneel down and pick up one of the larger chunks of white rock. As I feel its solidness and hard edges, look at its shape, and study the sparkly flecks in it, the dream becomes crisp. I stand up and recall my goals for this dream: the basic challenge to cut open a pumpkin and see what's inside, and my personal goal of better flight.

      Nearby, I see an open door into what looks like a small shed. I look inside to see if there any pumpkins here. As it turns out, there are two: a medium-sized one on a table to my left, and a small one on a counter near the back. I don't like the look of either of them and continue on my way. I remember reading about someone finding a pumpkin patch and decide to check if there's one behind the house, but there isn't. I change my mind about the pumpkins in the shed, figuring that any pumpkin will do, even if it's sickly looking. I return to the shed and take the larger of the pumpkins, but in my hand it changes into a collection of small orangish guards connected by strings. It's useless to me now, so I leave it.

      During this first part of the dream, I frequently stopped to re-ground myself. Sometimes I studied my hand (slightly different each time), and sometimes I picked some part of the scenery to look at. From this point onward, I forget all about doing any further groundings.

      Somehow I end up back in the house. I'm in what's probably a living room, though since the house is completely empty it's hard to tell. I'm standing on hardwood floors, and in front of me is a wall that's mostly window. Even the doors are mostly glass. I'm getting a bit frustrated with not finding my pumpkin, so I decide to move onto flying. After all, there's no reason I can't fly and look for pumpkins at the same time. I decide to start out by jumping. Last time I tried jumping in a dream, something really strange happened, and I want to see if I can do better. I manage to jump all the way to the (fairly high) ceiling, then gently float down, That was fun, so I do it again. But, jumping isn't flying, and it's time to fly!

      Now I'm outside (not sure how I got here), flying about head-level off the ground. I know I'm flying, not just gliding like I have in previous dreams, so I know I can go as high as I want. I head up to about roof height, then come back down to head-height. Now I'm flying along above a field. To my right is a high school athletic field of some kind (baseball, maybe?) with a high chain-link fence around it. I see a few small groups of people talking near the fence. I know some of the people in the groups, and in one group I see Amy. I feel sad, thinking on how we used to be good friends but that she left all her old friends (including me) behind. I decide to give her a scare, so I fly by her and somehow pick her up in my wake so that she's flying behind me. Her additional mass slows us down, but I don't mind too much. We fly down the street into another neighborhood. I see Sarah H. standing by the street, and she sees me and gets an amazed, incredulous look on her face.

      Now I'm in another house, in a small hallway. The outside door (some kind of side door) is behind me, and a set of bi-fold doors is in front of me. The doors remind me of the bifold doors in my wife's parents' old house that hid the washer and drier. I decide I'm done trying to "find" a pumpkin, and I'm going to add one into the dream. I know that asking DCs for something tends to work well, so I decide that I'm going to find a DC behind these doors, and that that DC will help me get a pumpkin. I open the doors and walk through to find a mother and daughter working on laundry. The mother looks like an old-fashioned washer woman: she's wearing an off-white blouse with a darker off-white skirt and has her hair pulled back and up in a floral handkerchief. I think the daughter is wearing something similar. I see that the mother has a rather tired, hard-bitten expression on her face, but I go ahead and ask her for a pumpkin. She gives me a look that says "I don't know why you're in my house, and I don't know why I'm talking to you at all" and eventually drawls that there aren't any pumpkins around here. Behind her, I notice a small table designed like a pillar, and I see that it has a small misshapen pumpkin sitting on it.

      I consider calling her on her lie but decide not to. I look over to her daughter to see if she'd be any more help, but then poof I wake up.

      Dream - Lucid

      I was trying to get something on my computer. Kayla was trying to tell me what to download. I think I ended up downloading some sort of virus. Someone helped me to get what I what I was actually looking for.

      I was then riding on some sort of scooter thing with Chris and this cartoony-looking chameleon. I was wondering if I was engaged to Chris.

      I'm going to abstain from typing up this one, because the whole thing was laced with family/personal issues so I won't go for it. Just so that I can remember the dream, I can share with you one funny moment.

      My 11 year old cousin attempted to drive and ended up in a ditch.


      And if you're wondering what happened to my nightly lucidity, well I had a bad headache last night and just wanted to get to sleep, lucid dream or not.
