non-lucid

There was this huge mansion where all the lamps were alive and worked as household servants. The color of their lampshades determined their status in the household. The darker the color, the higher the position. One had a light-blue-colored shade, and she found a big tub full of black dye. Needless to say, she was soon very important.

A highbrow British terrorist hijacked an airplane and threw the pilot overboard. As he flew away, he muttered under his breath, "Who did that guy think he was? You, sir, are the epitome of idiocy".

I saw the earth from space. Millions of blinking red beacons, like cell phone towers, were scattered over the land surface. They reached way up into the sky. I saw the continent of Atlantis, right in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. For some reason, the area of earth Atlantis was on shifted south, and I could see that another piece of land lay directly underneath where it had been.

A strange man was feeding a young boy some pink goo that he called earth water. It was actually menstrual emissions. Eating it produced a chicken egg in the boy's hand.

My mother and her mother were having a dinner party in a sewer system. I set up a disco ball over the table.

My dead father had somehow been resurrected. He was much different from what he had been. All he cared about were cows and money. I didn't feel like he really loved me.

I went to bed at 10 and woke naturally at 2:15. My thoughts are very scattered with no coherent memories. My mind may not have completely shaken off the dream state: as I try to recall dreams, my thoughts turn to different people offfering to hunt dreams for me and bring them back so I can record them. Eventually I got up and used the bathroom, then returned to bed at 2:25.

I woke up a couple more times, again with no clear recall.

I woke naturally at 5:25 and had good recall of my last dreams.


Vacation travel
I'm with my family driving to our vacation spot. We've just had breakfast at a restaurant and are going across the street to top up on gas. I talk with my eldest daughter for a couple of minutes. In another conversation, I find out that Jeff and his family are vacationing up north and have decided to rent a van for the trip, believing that renting the van actually saves them money in the long run since it means they save the wear and tear to their own car.


Home and garden shopping
I'm outside "my house" working on my lawn and garden. It's a fairly small rectangular area, maybe 15' by 25', and part of that is the garden. Looking at the street, our house is to my left with the raised beds of the garden right next to it. It looks like the person mowing the grass got interrupted last time the grass was being cut, since there's about a third of the lawn (kind of an island towards one end) that's looking terrible. The rest of the lawn looks pretty good. The raised beds each have five columns and three rows, though a few of the columns haven't been planted yet. I'm spraying super-garlic mosquito barrier around the lawn using the hose attachment. I spray the well-kept part of the lawn first, then start in on the messy section, though I have my doubts since the garlic'd part will probably be cut off when it's next mown. Oh well. I also spray the garden, though I try to avoid the columns where nothing is growing. They're currently very very dry, making it easy to see at a glance where things have been planted, and I don't want to lose that distinction.

Now Leena's (our neighbor directly across the street from us) van is parked on the edge of our lawn. I moved it there so I could take pictures of it. Leena gets home, and I'm worried that she won't be happy, especially when I see her walking across to us. When she gets to me, she says not to worry about the van, but she needs a favor. Her grandmother is here and is hungry, and she needs something quick. If I give her my peanuts, she'll give my eldest daughter (something) in return. I agree and start to head for the house.

Now Leena's gone and I'm trying to cross the road to her house (without the peanuts). The little neighborhood road is incredibly jammed with cars, but only in one direction, right-to-left from my perspective. Since the cars aren't really moving, I figure I can just walk between a couple of them, but a strange long, thin, barrel-shaped car (like an old race car) cuts me off. I hang back until he's past, and the next car lets me though.

Now I'm in the passenger seat in Leena's van; she's driving. I hadn't realized we'd be going on a shopping trip; I thought it was to be a quick exchange at home. I feel a bit odd and realize I'm not wearing a shirt. I must have taken it off while working and not put it back on. I'm annoyed at both Leena and my wife (who's in the back of the van) - I really think one of them could have mentioned that I'm shirtless. Somehow I end up looking at our path on a GPS app, and I see that our path ahead makes a right triangle crossing over where we've already gone: we'll be making two greater-than-ninety-degree left turns, functionally mimicing a right turn it seems we should have taken a while back. Oh well, the routing algorithms are pretty good these days, so it's probably right even if it seems weird.

Now we're at the store. Leena's gone off to pick something up, and I'm supposed to meet her past the checkout with the peanuts. I realize I can teleport home, grab the peanuts (and a shirt), then teleport back without her knowing. I'm off in a corner of the store without other people, so I should be able to do this unnoticed by anyone. I decide it'd be best to teleport back outside the store so they don't think I'm stealing their peanuts - this place is run by the mafia and I really don't want to get shot. Promptly forgetting about the plan to teleport back outside, I spend a moment really studying my surroundings, fixing them in my mind, since that's what I'll need for the return teleport. Once I've got it, I then start thinking about my home, picturing it really clearly so I'll jump to it. In my mind, I'm looking at it from about a fourty-five degree angle, with the road to my left, as if I'm standing at the road and the right edge of my property (as seen from the road). I see my front step, the green lawn, and the bricks of the walls.

Now I'm back home. My wife's grandmother is here and she needs some stuff from the store. I decide to go shopping with a friend of mine (who seems a combination of various people I know) and split the money. Now we're at a thrift store trying out a monitor. It's got a terrible resolution, though I wonder if that's because the testing rig is bad. It's hooked up to a cheap KVM that's strung all the way across the table, and my friend thinks that's the problem. Now we're walking back to the house, bags in hand. The goods we're carrying are worth $42, so each of us gets $21. Not bad for an hour or two of work when I wouldn't have otherwise gotten anything. Of course, the amount we make could vary hugely depending on what people need, so I'm not sure that being a paid shopper is a great side job.


Fragment: I'm walking through an airport with a couple of other guys. It's night.


I finish recording the dream at 5:55 and try to get back to sleep but don't manage it, getting up at 6:30.

I pretty much turn into Tom Cruise as I watch myself move in the third person. I get out of a truck and run to an abandoned building. Quickly diving through the door, I shoot someone before I tuck and roll up against a wall. Jumping around the corner, I shoot another person, then run up some stairs.

Grabbing the railing of the stairway, I pull myself up parkour style, and shoot a few more people as I'm flying mid-air. It's almost like I've rehearsed this a thousand times before - I know where all the bad guys are, and the exact timing of when they are going to attack.

At the top, I shoot through a wall and kill another guy, then shoot a metal plate at the end of a hallway, causing the bullets to bounce back and kill another guy who is hiding around a corner.

Still not much time for some reason, I run down the hall, and see someone's hands poking through a metal stock thing. I grab them and break his wrists as a form of interrogation that is the only way to make everything work. As I do so, I get shot in the arm, and without looking, shoot off to my left and kill the shooter with a no-look shot.

I feel like I've done all this countless times before, and for some reason, all of this is required of me in this current situation.

I had been in this church that caught on fire. It's destruction was even shown in the news, and the smoke messed up a huge part of the city. No media knew I had been in the fire. It had been started by some candles that had been left there, and they were too close to the curtains. I was typing on my computer when the fire started. I had to bust out of the church through a wall and slyly make my way to my car so that no one would notice me. I later told my mom and a few friends about this.

There were these aliens who were human. They were a group of people who left the earth years before the rest of the population had the kind of technology to even leave the moon. The group of people on this one ship was oddly homicidal. One of them could hide in bodies and talked like chuckie. One was very quiet and eager to visit earth, where there were so many people, but he also seemed tired and spend the whole day sleeping. One was in love with a girl on the ship, but she was a lesbian ready to find some girl on earth.

The chuckie one invaded the body of a young girl. He and a few other aliens masquaraded as a family. This was all well and fine until one of the young invaders developed a crush on a human that was actually young. Chuckie voice started threatening her life to keep him in line.

For some reason, I was helping people and aliens do alot of cleaning. I helped these people clean their cars for whatever reason.

Randomly, I was in this crowd listening to this religious speeker, a middle-aged white chick with blonde hair. She was preaching about religion and the burned church, and said she wasn't talking directly to me because she didn't want to "hanna-montana" me. I had and have no idea what the hell that means.

Dream - Lucid

I was in the middle of this story/movie, but it was real life? Hard to explain. I somehow just knew the storyline without anyone having to tell me. I was living in this apartment with a girl. There were these two guys living there also who were murdering people by stabbing them in the side near their heart. It had something to do with money. Everyone who was somehow connected to the money was going to get killed. This girl and I were doing a good job hiding ourselves and being inconspicuous; we were somehow connected to the money.

At one point, I was playing Ski Free on the computer (anyone remember that game??).

Many people got murdered. We had somehow still evaded it. For much of the dream, we were in the apartment. At one point, I was alone in the apartment. I went out into the hallway, and one of the guys went after me with his small knife. I somehow got back into my apartment and tried to lock the door, but the lock was flimsy and he kept using his knife, which he slid through the door crack, to unlatch the lock. He was also doing something to the knob on the door as well. I knew I had no chance and it was only a matter of time before he got in. I then was again out in the hallway, and he got ahold of me and stabbed me in the side with his knife. I thought for sure I was done for. I don't remember what happened after this, but I feel like the dream continued a bit longer.

I was hanging out with this girl named Michelle (no idea who she is IWL). She had big boobs and short, straight dark hair. We were getting along really well, having a good time. She had kind of a loud personality, but I liked hanging out with her. I was then sitting at a table with her and a few other people, when Jarrod, an ex, sat down with us. He had on a baseball hat and a white shirt. He folded his arms on the table and was a little slumped over. I was surprised to see him; I thought he had moved out of state. I said hello to him. As I did so, I noticed these scabs on his face next to his eyes. He didn't say hello back to me, but noticed I was hanging out with Michelle. He then said
"So you guys get along now?"
I guess we had met before and disliked each other, but I couldn't remember when that was. I thought it must have been when I was dating Jarrod at some point. I kind of remembered, and said,
"Oh, I remember now!"
It was a very vague memory of meeting her and just not liking her personality.

Michelle was then wearing no shirt. I noticed that she didn't have any nipples. I could see stretch marks on her breasts though. I thought she must have fake breasts because of cancer or something. Her face then looked kind of swollen. It looked like it was carrying up from her breasts.

Then, I was at a circus. There was supposed to be some sort of petting zoo thing where some people from the audience came down to pet some animals. I was down there getting the animals ready. It was piglets from what I remember. Taylor then came down as well. We were transferring the piglets from one set of bins to another. I then started to clean the filthy litter that was in one of the bins. There was lots of gross, wet poop in it. I felt awful for the condition the animals were in. I knew it really made Taylor mad too; he was passionate about animals.

~

I was making some sort of egg sandwich. I cut up a fried egg with my spatula in a frying pan and put it on a sandwich. Dallas was up now as well and told him he should make an egg sandwich too. I had the bread ready for him and everything. I also think I made myself another one. The other one I made was very soggy and had big, slimy chunks of egg that would come out all at once in my mouth as I bit into it. I think I was going to make a third one as well.

Then, I was in bed at what appeared to be our hotel from our honeymoon, though I was sleeping on the opposite side of the bed than I did when we went IWL. I was asking Dallas, who was up in the bathroom area, if he was going to make himself an egg sandwich. I then somehow figured out I was dreaming, though I could tell it was unstable from the dimness of the room. I decided to try something different. I started to pull off my thumb. It popped right off. I looked at my right hand. No thumb. I then looked in my left hand and saw my thumb. Cool! I did it to my index finger as well. I then woke up briefly and went back into the dream. This happened a few times where I'd lost the dream, wake up, and go back into it. The last time it happened, I couldn't see anything; it was completely dark, even though I felt my eyes were open. I woke up and had a moment of panic because I thought I may have gone blind, but I just had my sleeping mask on. -_-;

~

I was on some Victoria's Secret talk show, but I was hanging out by this big, raised sandbox with some kids. Some were in it playing, others were with me hanging out to the side. I wondered why I was here with these kids? I looked for someone who may be around my age, but saw no one, the oldest kid probably being around 11 years old. I wondered if I was too old to be here.

The talk show then started. I wondered what I should do. I contemplated getting in the sand box. I don't think I did. The kids were then all going to do some obstacle courses. I watched a little girl swinging on these metal bars, attaching herself to them with these small metal pieces she had in each hand that latched onto the edge of the bar. She'd then slide on that metal piece to the end, and attach to another. I was worried about her; it looked dangerous to me. Her mom was at the end of the bars.

I am OOB, and remained out of body for the entire dream. I was watching myself like I was just another character. Everything is 'tooned. Myself, Manei, Marcus, Krista (Yes, Kristanicole07, a long time reader of my DJ) and Finn and Jake from Adventure Time are preparing to go through a transportation pad that will send us to another world.
Marcus is an inventor and a scientist and he explains the inter-dimensional transportation machine in the most scientific way possible.
"It breaks down your particles and then shoots them into space at a million trillion bajillion miles per hour! And then you wind up somewhere else!"
I false awaken. I get up and go on DV and start reading Krista's DJ. She has written this really long entry and by the looks of it there is a big chunk of lucidity near the end. Somehow or other, the DJ entry she wrote is actually the continuation of the dream. I begin reading it and the dream sucks me back in.
So we step on the transport pad and this white ray shoots off. We then see that we are materializing on another planet. We are in a tunnel constructed out of these black metallic bricks with blue glowing cement in-between them, like something out of Tron.
Krista explains that this was a dream world that she created where humans and animals are in conflict with machines. The world was supposedly created for a novel that she was writing where humans had stopped polluting the earth, but machines that couldn't be harmed or bothered by the pollution kept on building and advancing without them. Humans had returned to their natural roots and teamed up with the animals to try and stop them, but were losing.
This location was one of the machines' bases. It didn't take long for some evil machines to show up. The machines said something about stealing oil. Apparently humans often came here to steal oil or disconnect the oil supplies of the machines because they were reliant on fossil fuels.

Finn and Jake want to stand and fight. Me and Krista decide to run. We begin running through the Tron tunnels until we got to a subway station.
Krista explained that the machines perfectly maintained human cities because they wanted humans to return to their old way of life. We get on the subway. I look back to see if Finn and Jake are coming. They are not.
The subway starts moving and I notice that inside everything is painted white. Krista then explains that the 'master' machine is like GLaDOS from Portal. She then says something about cake, and chocolate cakes manifest in every seat on the subway. I go to try and eat one when they phase away. Apparently they were just holograms.

...The cake is a lie. ._.

I wake up.

Edit: This DJ entry has just inspired me to make a new DJ cover and a new title!

Black is Non Lucid.

Lucidity: 3/5
Vividness: 4/5
Length: A Few Minutes

NOTE: I woke up around 1:30AM then went back to sleep after eating something, then woke up around 4:30AM, so this is a WBTB, for sure.

I needed to get home, so I got on the school bus so that I could get to the other side of it by going through the window. I didn't want to ride the bus since it was so packed, but once I got on it, I found out that it had over a hundred seats and was wider than three school buses combined. The seats were nice, too, like movie theater seats. I was then talking to my math teacher from last year, Mrs. Glenn, about something. She saw my drawings and thought they were nice. I was now on the side of a mountain, walking up the slope of it with my teacher. Once we went a ways, I saw statues in the ground that made me realize I'm dreaming.

I realized I was in a dream and rolled with what was happening in the non lucid dream, so I stayed with everyone that was already there. There were about five or six people with me, most of them from my school. We saw some statues that were a similar color to trees. I told them not to touch them, or they might become animated. So what do they do? They touch one of the things, and it became animated. I had to carefully touch one of them four times on the shoulder before it became unmoving again, which made me feel relieved when it fell to the earth. We kept going past the human like statues and reached a meadow. I said, "yeah, you guys are definitely in my dreams." There was a part of the walkway popped up out of the ground to walk on, curved here and there, but flat and fuzzy with the grass on it. We started walking, then when I got to an ascending part, I jumped in the air and flew over it in a pose, my leg kicked out, and the other not. I landed on the other side slowly, everyone beat me there since I was so slow. I started to fly again, then taught them how to fly. Some got it, but some didn't. I flew around the place for fun, swimming through the air to show them a trick or two. It all of a sudden turned out that we were in a room when I hit the ground, I tried to make the roof disappear, but woke up instead.

I have a few dream fragments, my sleep wasn't that great due to staying up and watching the lunar eclipse last night.

Dream 1: The letter detective
I'm in a small rural Chinese/Japanese village, the paths made of dirt which is a white-brown colour. The buildings in this area are pretty authentic wooden houses. Me and another person are searching for a white envelope that's supposed to contain an important letter, I walk down the path and see to my left a little grassy slope with a white envelope on it as well as a red object. From this, we discern that the thief is a man with a red shirt and that he's emptied the envelope and taken the letter. I seem to see something under one of the houses and we crawl beneath it, but I see someone behind us and all of a sudden we're hiding. It doesn't work though, he knows we're hiding and he looks super redneck and has a red checkered flannel shirt - he's the thief. We try to shuffle out but for some reason we can't, the man behind us crouches down and reaches to grab us, he runs a finger down the back of my leg which felt incredibly real. I wake up from the shock of the touch which freaked me out.

Dream Fragment 1:
I seem to be holding some hot chicks panties as I lie in someones bed in the morning.

Dream Fragment 2:
This dream felt incredibly short, I seem to realize that I'm in a dream and wake up before I actually become 'lucid'.

Note: 2nd attempt at using SSILD induction technique, I failed but seem to have had a very shallow lucidity experience.

First dream

I think I was in a library looking for books but I ended up making a huge mess .

Second Dream

I can't recall much but the last thing I recall is being at a stranger's house with my dad. There was a dad with his daughters and they wanted me to play with them. I said no though cause I was busy looking for something. I think I was looking for a animal, maybe a goat...that looked like a dog?...Anyways, I kept looking but got hungry so I went to the kitchen. There was no milk for cereal so the dad gave me some
ice cream/yogurt.I happily ate it but as I walked through the rooms I noticed there was a lady and her husband in the room and...I was now naked. I hid behind something but the lady saw me and was shocked. She than turned into my mom and said she was going to run away. I told her to let me go with her and she said okay. But as we were leaving I changed into a walking talking pizza and she tried to eat me. After running around for a bit I noticed something in the distance. It was a video of a music and animation of a character I thought I made. I thought about how happy I was that it came out this good when suddenly a giant wave appeared and took me away. I was flying above it though and saw in first person a boy anime character with orange hair flying above the water and doing cool poses. As he was having fun he shouted "Weeeeee~" Than "umiiiiiiiiii!"(Umi means sea in Japanese) It was pretty cool to watch but the dream changed quickly. Now I was walking with a boy into a mall or huge apartment place that had escalators in it.(I think I saw doors with numbers on them to the side)I felt something bad was about to happen and told him "I'm worried...Are you sure you'll be okay?" He looked at me and said " There's nothing to worry about. If they were gonna shoot me they would have shot me by now." Than suddenly two boys walked up to us and grabbed the guy. "We need to talk to you."One of them said as they carried him outside against his will. I was scared but somewhat aware it was a dream so I tried to go through the walls but two other boys grabbed me. "Please don't shoot me. I didn't know."I said to them nervously. One of them asked the other if I was a spirit than the other said "Lets just leave her alone."Than I woke up.



Third Dream

I remember having another dream where I was in my room talking to my brother and someone else. The other boy was holding onto his legs while sitting and I asked him why he did that. He said he does it because hes different and I should get used to it because if in the future I get a bf he is going to be like that.

What is it recently with all these game dreams? I haven't watched TV or played a computer game in ages.

I went to bed at 10PM without a sleep mask and was woken up at 1:15AM.


Alien battle
I'm behind a building with some other people getting ready to play some sort of game in which we'll be fighting off an alien invasion. The building has a couple of wings - from our vantage it looks L-shaped, though I don't know how the building would have looked from the air. With one wing behind us, another wing to our left, and a treeline to our right, the field of play was bounded on three sides but stretched off into the distance. The terrain is hard-packed dirt that's not graded - parts of it are flatish, but other parts have mounds big enough to hide behind or depressions deep enough to hide in. I take take some equipment out of my pockets and get ready.

Now we're in the midst of the battle. The creatures are much larger than I anticipated, so everything is much tougher than I'd expected. We're falling back, giving ground to them, and I don't think we'll last much longer. I drop down in a depression near the building to take cover.


I went back to bed around 1:30 and was woken up at 3:10.

Mansion game
I'm standing outside "my church" helping to prepare for potluck. My father-in-law is just bringing the trash cans back from the street along the really, really long driveway. The whole place is wooded, and I can't see the road from where I'm standing. I see Michelle coming out of the church, and I know she's working on getting everything clean. I continue on a path around to the right and see my wife sitting on a bench under a small pavilion. I keep walking and see more of these little pavilions each with a couple of benches. Now I'm back immediately outside the church, still helping to set up, and the weather is turning bad. I need to grab a heated ceramic basket, bring it inside, and fill it with punch.

Now I'm inside a gloomy mansion, playing some kind of real life RPG. I'm currently working with some other people to protect a young girl. In a room nearby, one of my team members has just been surrounded by a bunch of dog-things that appeared out of nowhere. Up until this point, we've been doing such a good job protecting the girl that she doesn't think there's any danger at all and we're just messing with her, so she hares off deciding to look for the truth. Unfortunately, she stumbles into the room with all the dogs. My team member rolls a 5, but it's not enough, and the girl gets captured. Now I'm in another room talking with her, trying to figure out if we could have done something differently or if the girl getting captured is part of the story (after all, this is the very end of chapter 2). I have a flash of inspiration that maybe we misread what the die role meant and ask her to show it to me. I look at it and deflate, realizing that the 5 she rolled didn't mean what I thought, but instead meant that she could kill 5 of the dogs. Since there were far more than that, there was nothing else she could do.

Now I'm watching the game from the outside, and my character is in a different hallway of this gloomy mansion. The wizard (a good guy) is in a room nearby, but he's in some kind of trance and is currently helpless to defend himself (or us). I get a menu with at least half a dozen options, including both killing the wizard and killing myself. I know he'd prevent either if he were out of his trance, so I decide to try one of the crazy options (I can always restore back to this point later). I take the "try to kill yourself" option to see what would happen. My character ends up getting turned into a large (intelligent) dog, then gets transported to the top of a snowy mountain where he eventually starts a dog family and lives out the rest of his life (Bad Ending Number ???).


Fragment: something in a hospital room?


I was woken up a couple more times through the night and didn't recall any more dreams.

We were in this house in my dream. It seemed to be that my friends here were the ones I play with in an online video game. We kind of loaded in to the house and our goal was a scavenger hunt of some sort. I didn't realize what we were doing at first, but it only took me a moment. So I went around looking for the clues, supposing I'd know them when I seen them. I ended up looking out the windows, where I noticed that it was raining hard. The windows had a storm window in them that needed to be closed so I did that to a few. The next thing that wasn't right was a bed that seemed to be lop-sided. In trying to fix it, I ended up tearing it half apart. It was a waterbed and apparently some of the water had leaked out. Also the headboard was not square as it should have been, instead it morphed into a flat screen tv that was bent to the side. At that point I gave up on it.

The dream transitions a bit to what seems to inside a catering food truck although it still resembles the house I was just in also. It has a kitchen in the back. Anyways these two cute females were there with me. We were having a good time, and of course the flirting led me to having sex with them. It was more of a desire rather than a lucid decision. They were willing too, and the one with the blonde hair got naked for me. She got down on her hands & knees for me to get her from behind. While I was involved with her hinny, her friend got her face up in there while we were at it. When we were most of the way through, the chick who was behind me started morphing so I ended up pushing her away.

After the sex, we were still hanging around in the kitchen area trying to clean up the place. Although the one girl morphed earlier, she was back to her original self now. A guy that I had seen earlier in the dream shows back up too, and here I am trying to find a place to put the leftover hamburger when the dream faded out.

I am on my college campus; somewhere. It actually feels like a couple of locations on the campus blended together. I can recall S being involved somehow, we were walking and talking about various things. S goes to class and leaves me in a courtyard.
Then, some random male student starts yelling
"Look! It's Professor Penguinstein!"
I turn and look and I see perhaps the funniest looking dream character ever. I couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman, but they were about three feet tall, very fat, with short stubby legs and they waddled like a penguin. He/she had long wavy brown hair in a ponytail, going down to their waist. They wore a cap and gown, and carried a big ruler. He/She had these huge cheeks, with a giant mole on one of them, and a voice like Thor that demanded respect.
The student takes me to watch this professor teach a class. Supposedly this professor, also a scholar, had knowledge in every subject that they teach on campus. Also, PP was like 8 years old.
...
There is some other part to this dream where there were some cheerleaders practicing in the quad. Some guys had stopped to check them out, but I found their cheer very annoying and took it as motivation to leave.

Some dream showing me computer graphics about maintaining a healthy digestive system. Apparently I had been diagnosed with some disease that causes the fluids in your stomach to turn solid occasionally and this can cause problems.

I am in 'the black'. I become lucid and realize that I am asleep. There is just no dream happening right now. Well, i'll just have to create one. I create the sky and the ground, and then for some reason a school comes into the picture, which was weird because I didn't consciously create a school. I am inside the school, but I can see out the door, the endless plane of rocks and sand in front of me.
I then see Manei, very clearly appear in the school. I didn't consciously add her to the dream either. She is walking toward me, running her hand across the lockers in the hall. Dream guide: good. School setting: bad. I try to phase away the school by focusing only on her.
I lose control and wake up.

I'm in a really nice house, the interior is white with modest gold framed paintings hung on the wall and soft couches. I'm walking down a hallway after running out of toothpaste and being unable to brush my teeth, an Indian friend of mine (not sure who it was) leads me to the left and down a flight of stairs. We end up in his room and he disappears off somewhere, so I head to his bathroom for some reason. A basin is in this room, with a large mirror above it and 4 tubes of toothpaste too, as well as an electric toothbrush (Pretty annoyed when I didn't even try to reality check with the mirror). I use his electric toothbrush without tooth paste to get some gunk out of my mouth, I put it back and it's got food bits in it, then I spit in the sink (I stopped brushing because I realized it was a dick move, but I don't even try to wash it or anything). I take a tube of toothpaste thinking it'd be okay, and then following this I seem to reflect again on just how much of a dick move it is to just use his stuff.

Dream 2: Another Field Trip
So I seem to have quite a few of these geology field trip based dreams. I'm on a huge cliff overhang that protrudes out over a large forest, I seem to be viewing it from a distance (like I'm flying and looking down on it as I hover over the forest). The area is a renowned rock-climbing region, with curving 'paths' of rivets for climbing down the cliff, there are also various caves distributed as rest points for people climbing down. The goal for our field trip is to climb down this rock wall and look at the geology of the area. I climb down and see a bald man climb into one of the caves, he halls himself over and plops into waist deep water. I follow in suit, but instead of getting into the water I edge along a bit and climb onto a bench-like protrusion. Resting my weary head while my fellow classmates filled the cave, I get the feeling I got bumped and the ruckus they were causing was annoying me (they're extremely loud usually).

Dream 3: Dream Heroes
I am a traveling wanderer like Ginko from Mushishi and come to a small village in a jungle. The inhabitants don't wear much clothing (tribal looking), I converse with a woman from here for quite a while and ask if they have a shower I can use. She says she's never even seen a shower, who would have guessed. I have a distinct feeling that food and water are scarce around here, and the dream gets hazy for a while. I'm sitting down and talking to a man, a deer runs past in the background and I instantly think that the hunt has begin. I feel like the land beyond is a desert and I can't catch the deer. The dream becomes less hazy, I'm conversing with a man again, he is tan, muscular and twice my size, we converse with him for a while. I have a book in hand about their history concerning heroes, they have about 7-9 I think. The last hero is a woman who accomplished much more than all the previous heroes, I say to the man "Could you tell me a bit about the history of your village?". He complies enthusiastically by using various stabbing motions to illustrate glorious kills on a hunt while telling the story. As he does this, I read a bit of the book again, this time I noticed that the word 'dream' came up, and then 'lucid dream'... The warriors in their history had all their deeds related to dreaming for some reason.

I woke up afterwords and realized that the dreaded dream about lucid dreaming had occurred without becoming lucid

Last night I found a new and very weird place in my dream world. I don't know its name, but I call it the void.

The void is a spectacular place. As the name suggests, it mostly an empty gigantic space. It is not dark, at least I think so, since I can see perfectly inside of it. The empty space has this faint blue luminescence that allowed me to see. I could also float around at will, merely thinking where i wanted to go was enough to make me float in the direction.

It seems that the void contains fragments of buildings, soil and other things floating in patches. These patches must be incredibly far apart, for I could see no other patch from the ones I visited. These small areas are connected by some kind of wormholes, that looked like spots of absolute black against the blueness of the void. I soon learned that the wormholes was deceptive, if you go through one you end up in a new spot, but if you then go back again then you don't end up where you started! I learned that the hard way, when I realized it was impossible for me to backtrack my way to the patch I came from.

I don't remember how I ended up there, together with two people who I saw as rivals, if not enemies. I had fought them, each of us leaders of a faction of some sorts. Probably a battle inspired by the unhealthy amounts of strategy games I've played lately....

One of our common enemies, a necromancer, lived in the void. He had the power to open a gateway to the normal world. Maybe that is how we ended up there?
