non-lucid

I haven't tried lucid dreaming in days and noticed I probably induced the SP feeling by trying to get lucid. It was my way but the time I stopped trying I didn't have SP anymore. So that's great! I'm getting lucid without SP or trying too so even better.


I don't recall the first or second dream. I only remember the third.

Third Dream

I was in my house with my family and a baby. I don't know whose baby but I was suppose to take care of it. After a while though I brought it back to my sister because some intense battling was occurring in the environment. My sister asked me why I was incapable of watching him but I said it wasn't important. I noticed I was now in a big store with my mom. There were backpacks around and I asked my mom to buy me one. She said no and I got mad because I needed one for school. I noticed a boy watching me and got nervous but than my mom pulled me and showed me the backpacks were worn out, I told her to just look for a good one and left the scenery. I became lucid when I noticed my younger brother talking to two unknown people. Something the girl did made me mad though and I decided to scare her a bit. I told the boy and girl if they kept messing with me I would put my fingers in their sockets and rip their eyes out. They were a little freaked out so I left with my brother. But than they started chasing me. I decided to lead them on a wild goose chase and flew away. We ended up inside a school and I ran down the stairs a lot. During the chase I recall getting distracted and talking about ice cream. When I exited the school everyone was in a line and got into a circle. I drank water after asking for some and sat down. A girl started playing the violin and I wanted to play with her. I saw a flute or bassoon and started playing it. The music wasn't coming out very well though. When she stopped everyone started clapping. Another girl asked about a question to her problem and I said maybe she should hold a charity even though I don't know how to start one. She said it was a great idea and everyone started to disperse. We all started walking and I began conversing with boy. We appeared in a clothing shop where three lady's tried taking control over me. One of them grabbed me from behind but I couldn't get her off. I told her to kiss me and she kissed my neck but I kicked her than jump kicked her face like a boss. She was complaining about it to the other two girls.I ran out with other people and swam through a dirty water. I was going to go with the boy I was talking to but I went back to the shop cause I felt like saving my brother. When I arrived I found myself doing a hand stand and someone was tickling my feet. I almost bumped into a man who was talking on the phone. He said in Spanish that a girl was acting like a kid in front of him. I walked and saw my brother working and told him to come with me because I got this far trying to save him. He didn't want to go though so I left him. I tried putting on a green short cause I think my pants dissapeared. But out of no where it turned red and childish. I went through a portal and ended up kicking a bed where a digimon like little girl was. She complained to her brother if he kicked her bed. He said no than I woke up.

Dream - Lucid

I was at work at the bakery. I was walking by a room where the managers were having a meeting. None of them were in their work clothes. I saw my manager there. Her back was to me and her hair was half pulled up in a short, high ponytail. I thought about how different she looked when she was back here working.

I then had to approach her about something. We were still inside, but I had to wade through this high grass that was flooded with this milky white water. The discoloration of the water was caused by chemicals that were being used on the grass for some reason. I was worried about the chemicals making me sick. I finally got to the other side. I looked down at my leg, and there was this huge bruise that took up my whole kneecap. It then started to move around on my leg. I wondered if I was seeing things, but no, it was clearly moving. I then saw this weird brown streak coming from a healing scab. Someone, a female employee, pointed it out and asked what it was. I thought it was a sign of infection in my blood, as was the moving bruise. I was afraid that it would move to my heart and kill me. I started to panic. I said
"I need to go to the hospital. Call 911. Call an ambulance!"
I then started to overflow with panic, thought about the ambulance fee, and I passed out.

I was feeling like I was buried beneath consciousness; I felt like I was out quite deep. I started to surface, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that I was at work, sitting next to my manager, Shannon, on a grey bench attached to a wall. I guess nothing was wrong with me. I looked down at my knee, and it looked better and less bruised. I looked up and asked Shannon
"What happened? Was I just panicking?"
She responded
"Yes."
She then gave me a copy of the hospital bill. It had a description of everything they did and how much it cost. For instance, the used a strong anti-anxiety of some sort to calm me down, and that cost $321. That's the only figure I remember though. It listed the life flight to a different state's hospital, which was in a jet instead of a helicopter, evaluation, and showed that I was good to go home that day because nothing was wrong with me. I felt bad because I didn't want to waste anyone's time, and I felt like I had.

I then was behind the counter, and I was trying to call my best friend Mk. I got her voicemail. Her voice sounded like she was on the verge of tears. She said the usual, that she wasn't available, and then she started to apologize for something about some chemical company she was apparently working for. Then she went on to say leave a message. I then noticed a customer, a woman, and I quickly hung up the phone and said
"I'm so sorry! I was trying to call my friend!"
She gave me a smile and a stare, as if to say she knew and I shouldn't have been doing that.
"What can I get for you?" I asked with a smile.
She then started to walk to the other side of the case to point out what she wanted, and then I woke up.

~

I was leaving the apartment to go to work or something. Dallas was there, and it was daytime. I opened the door to leave when my cat, Belle, ran out. Ugh, I really didn't want to chase her down. I waited, trying to see where she would go. She paused, and then started to go down the stairs. She got to the bottom, and instead of a parking lot, it was a small grassy field. I finally got to her and grabbed her. I remember grabbing her tail and another part of her and pulling her to me. I picked her up to take her back inside.

Then, it was like she was a child, and asked if she could go out to this different part of the field when I got home. I told her no. I think I told her no because the spot she wanted to play in was muddy.

~

Something about work, about me clocking in late a few times for some reason, like from coming back from lunch and being late getting to work. I was worried about getting fired. The rooms I was in for a lot of this dream were dark. Something about someone calling my current manager by her real name, Sherry.

~

I was working at the bakery, and had been there for only a week. I was sitting in this very large back room at a long table. Across from me sat my old manager, Sherry. She was my manager again now. Also, my friend Courtney S. from my old job was working there now too.

I then was in another part of the back room. As I entered it, I saw racks full of perfectly iced coffee cakes and such. Courtney S. and Patti, a lady I work with currently, were both back there. I knew Courtney had done the racks of perfectly iced coffee cakes, even though she had only been there for a few days. I asked her what I needed to do. She told me that I needed to scrub the doors. I think they were doors to the ovens. I then started to do it. I also had to get on a step ladder to clean on this blue, cylindrical fan-type thing. It was caked with bread dough. It was used to cool it down, or something weird, I'm not sure. At any rate, I had to use this special tool to scrape the dough out. I didn't use it at first, but then I switched to it. It worked much better. I kept thinking about how pissed I was that I had to work under Sherry again, when she was part of the reason I quit my old job in the first place. I "remembered" speaking with the old store manager, a bigger woman resembling one of the customer service managers I work with IWL, at the same place I first saw Sherry working there, in the back at the long table a few days prior.

When I finished that chore, I asked Courtney what I needed to do next. She was telling me how to do the floor. I had to flood it. I asked if I needed to squeegie it, and Patti said yes. I remembered doing that before at a different job (IWL the only job I have done that at is the one I'm at now in the bakery). I started to do it. I saw lots of bread crumbs and such.

Then, I was sitting on my bed in my childhood room. The bed was even in the place it was when we first moved in there. Dallas was sitting on it with me, but...he was a baby. Like, he looked like he does now, the same size and everything, but he was a baby. I had to try to keep him from falling off the bed. I then had to pick him up and carry him, though I wasn't quite sure how to do it correctly. I picked him up with one hand under his butt. He was so heavy, and it felt awkward to carry him. I had to adjust my grip so I wouldn't drop him. I even commented on it, saying I wasn't sure how to do this right. I then remember seeing his hair styled in this weird, curled fashion, with it being curled in on both sides. He liked that hairstyle, but I thought it looked silly. But it was ok since he was a baby.

Alright we've finally catched up with the DJ and I can now keep it up-to-date again for the rest of the week.
Remember next week I will take a week of of journalling or anything LD-related entirely just so you know I'm not dead.

1. HEIL!

I'm in a large clasroom or canteen and Hitler is holding a speech for a large audience of adults, I'm at the front row and slightly nervous considering Hitler himself is standing several meters infront of me. It seems he wants to learn the audience how to pronounce "Heil Hitler." correctly. The audience shouts it several times but Hitler seems to get frustrated and start shouting "HEIL!" probably 50 times through his microphone. The audience also start doing the Hitler salute which makes me very uncomfortable as I'm actually forced to do it too if I don't want to be spotted/killed.

2. Get out of the way!

I'm driving a car trying to navigate out of the garage but my family seems to be sitting right on the road having a tea-party or something. I can barely control the vehicle and it seems the brakes are mostly broken too. They get very angry and start shouting at me for almost hitting them.

3. What was that?

It's early morning and I'm downstairs, my sister is studying at the table and I open the bookcase to see what's inside. I find a small TV and start it, a reality show starts and I see something funny and ask my sister to rewind it. I call my mother to see it too but we have difficulties rewinding it and my mother gets impatient. Then I find one of these old binocular things that you can look in and see a series of pictures. At that point my mother starts getting very annoyed and actually telling me I'm stupid or something.

So basically, there were rumers circulating the school that there were werewolves in the building. Mind you I haven't been inside a school in over 10 yrs. Anyway, some idiot was standing on a desk shouting for the animals to attack him. He then goes to the door and shouts some more, that is, until a lion tore down the door and made lunch out of him. Some of us ran out of the building and into the woods. I found a little gnome house in a clearing. The gnome then lead me deeper into the woods, where I started getting attacked by insects. I thin it was a wasp and a locust. That's about all I remember.

I didn't really have any DR, actually I did have some DR but the dreams were so boring I didn't bother writing them down.

I can't really say anything about this night cause I'm typing this 3 days after it actually happened but I still remember most of the dreams vividly so I'll say that dream #2 was the first dream in which I was confident enough to introduce a girlfriend to my mother...

1. Silence

I'm alone walking through a very open large modern house, I'm not sure if it's a house or an interior magazin but anyway weird stuff happens here. Apparently a monster hides between the furniture stalking you and it kills you if you make too much noise. Why do I know that? Well I seem to have had a flashback before the dream actually started which showed my father walking here too and now in the dream itself I see a puddle of blood next to a couch. I slowly walking around the house, it's dark outside but the house itself is very bright and open. I sit down and suddenly listen to schlager music or something which makes me jump around for some reason and then there's suddenly a group of people looking at me and I feel embarrassed.

2. Introduction

I'm laying on the beach next to a girl I know from school and we're talking with each other, I actually like her and enjoy the sun. When I look to the left I notice my family about 15 meters away from me, they don't know I'm talking to this girl and that we actually like each other. Then I see my mother walking towards me, she hasn't spotted me yet and I have a choice wether to walk away and act like I was just walking towards the sea or introducing my mother to her. I choose the latter and felt very confident knowing I made the right choice.

3. Myst

I'm playing a game called 'Myst' (Awesome game btw) and I've finished the game by completing both the blue and red book at the same time. I see the two brothers appearing in the room and they start discussing who's the one that deserves to be free the most. Then I take the books and I'm suddenly in an airport running away from the security. I'm very fast and agile Climbing over obstacles and such.

4. The ship

I'm with some students in a weird gym, it has several rooms that are used for playing football or other sports. After some time a teacher walks in and takes us to another room where we play some volleyball but we quickly stop and exit that room too. Walking through some corridors and up some stairs we enter a lobby of some sort where there are probably a hundred students waiting for something. It is at this point where I start thinking we're on a giant ship and on a vacation. I feel very tired and groups of students are moving around in lines, I think it was time for us to sleep and the other group to start their day. This way we share beds and the ship can hold double the amount of students.

8/20/14

tons of dream, only one left in my memory is me throwing something while standing on top of the hill with large flat top. It flies like a frisbee.
Then I realize I'm stuck there and I should have thrown it down towards some tourists so they can alert some help for me.

Dream 1 - 7:18AM

I'm at Jane and Tim's house and I'm sitting at the table in the dining area. Tim and I are talking. I get up and decide to mock the quick step. I'm moving my feet up and down quickly. I find it pretty funny, but I think I enjoyed it more then anyone else.
I walk back over to Tim and notice he had recorded what I was doing. I see myself on the screen but he seems to have only recorded from my knee and up, missing the whole point of why we were recording. At the end of recording, he does move the camera down so you can see my feet for a few moments.
Tim looks to have uploaded the video clip on Facebook.

Dream 2

I'm in a pubic bathroom setting. I see that Daryl is with me and one of the Ferlingo twins. Ferlingo is eating a icey pole. On top of the cubicle is 5 icey poles sitting on top of the door. I try one, but it wasn't one that was on the door. Ferlingo doesn't seem to be as snobby as I expected and seemed nice. I notice that my hair is long, similar to theirs. I mention about my hair being like theirs. He tells me to shave the side.

A lot of people start to enter the bathroom.

Scene must change and I'm outside of a gold course. I see Tiger Woods and he's explaining about his earlier career. He says that he was broke and that he slept in his car at this course, awaiting the game the next day. I think this course was for the Australian Open.

A scene comes up of a Croatian Golfer who must have won the Australian Open. He was getting carried by his supporters. He was ecstatic.

I figure I'm in a restricted area and begin to blend in by searching for golf balls. I find a bunch and hand them to the man that collects them. I notice a few of the balls look odd. Some look small, big, cut in half etc. The man collecting notices this too.

I'm now outside the course, lining up with Jane and Daryl. Jane pushes in line and drags me in with her. I feel it's rude, so myself and Daryl go to the back of the line.

Dream 3 - 9:30AM

I think I was at the shops buying meat with my brother.

I'm in the car. Kayley is driving, Dianne is in the passenger and I'm in the back. I notice Dianne is eating a packet of Arnott's Teddy Bears. She looks to have already finished a row of them.
Attachment 7551

I have a plastic shopping bag on my lap and I look through it and find that I too have a Teddy Bear biscuit, expect I only have one. I take it out and place it next to Dianne's and pretend they're hugging one another. We find it funny. I think Dianne mentions that mine isn't a legit teddy bear biscuit and is probably a rip off of it. I continue searching through my bag and see that I have some steak in there. I open it up and realize its uncooked. I'm a bit pissed, as it's not sealed anymore, so I think of using a bag to wrap it. I see another steak, which is smaller compared to the other. I think I may have my brothers steak in here.

had a long confusing dream. the part that stood out featured me as an active spectator, i was in a building like a 40ft container a woman was inside it was like unto a restaraunt with a few customers. however that woman was marked for death as 2 people approached her with long blades like swords. one of the 2 (1 male 1 female) cut her head off then the other chopped her entire right arm off at the neck that chopped also took out the entire rib cage of that section. to my surprise this ladies chest cavity was stuffed with federal reserve notes of all denominations, her entire right side that got chopped off was in the shape of a right triangle and it had federal notes in it as well. however i and the 2 attackers started removing the notes from her chest cavity, at this point her head was back on and she was ALIVE! when she saw that we were taking all the notes she rolled over to stop us from taking all of it and she started crying and told us that we couldnt take all the notes because she was pregnant and needed some, at this point i beheld her stomach and sure enough she was pregnant. i got really concerned and wanted to cut her tummy and remove the baby but she protested and told me that she wanted the baby to come out of her vagina. so at this point i along with the other 2 assassins ran outside to find someone to help deliver the child, a man driving an old bedford truck stopped and we told him about the baby. u wouldnt guess wat his idea of delivering a baby was... well he alighted from the vehicle and told me to help him catch a small car off the road (with our bare hands mind u my hand was already in a grabbing position too) we caught a vw i think driven by an old lady (so u know this car was crawling) it looks like i woke in the dream from the moment the attack took place. we flip the car over unto the back of the bedford truck on its top and then the dream trailed off elsewhere. weird right?

Visiting the McKittrick, I've been following the taxidermist - a bald man with sunken eyes, looks starved and intense - as he talks to a young blonde man with a heavy jaw who works for the hotel, very earnest type. When it's time for the final banquet, they meet up with two women in clothes from the Victorian era and accompany them down the stairs - but I come to realize their final scene won't be with everyone else at the banquet at all. The women dance down the stairs, floating from one bannister to the other. Standing with them on the bannisters, so close to the ceiling, I'm very aware of Hecate's influence on the floor just above us.

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

I've just walked away from a room where I'd been talking to a woman. Now I'm standing in the ruins of a building, on a street where a lot of buildings have been destroyed. Nearby there's a large brown rat on top of a pile of rubble, and I have a sense of fellow feeling as I watch it. I don't really want to go out into the street - it's much too exposed - but I don't see any way around it. Once in the street, I catch sight of a woman in a white dress two or three buildings down, behind a wall of iron bars. She sees me and jumps up and down to get my attention. "Nick! It is Nicky, isn't it?" I recognize her, we're close. I (or rather my POV character here) use several different names - 'Nick' is for all intents and purposes my (POV character's) real name, but I haven't heard it for a long time, so this is something of a reunion. But I'm debating whether I want to take the time to rescue her from behind those iron bars.

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

I've been walking around backstage at a sort of club in the 1930s or so after leaving the audience of a show on stage in the main room. Talking to various people, overhearing conversations by dancers. I'm just now leaving a smokey room where two men have fallen asleep. I've been looking for someone, a specific woman. There's a disaster or a tragedy that's about to occur here, and I have to find her first.

The show in the main room ended while I was backstage, and everyone's straggling out. In the lobby, I come across a large man I remember meeting earlier. He's putting on his coat. Near the doors, his wife and daughter are waiting for him, and he introduces them to me. I recognize the daughter as the woman I was looking for - she's just a kid. I hadn't been expecting that she'd be a kid in this era. I kneel down to introduce myself to her eye to eye, using the name "Deacon Willfire" - it's the fake name I've been using here in the past, but Deacon is similar to the name I'll be using when she meets me as an adult in the future. She's very shy here, can barely look at me, but I'm aware that meeting me here will make an impression on her, and the similar names will help that memory along when we meet in the future.

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

I'm in that kid's room, standing by an empty fireplace that's so large I could easily fit in it just by ducking a little - it's grabbing my attention. But I'm also talking to the kid, saying to her, "A 300-year-old vampire for an imaginary friend?" (I'm referring to myself. She thinks I'm imaginary.) "You're trouble for sure." I'm thinking about the way I'm meeting her at various times in her life out of sequence. From her perspective, proceeding through time in the usual linear fashion, I've wound up being someone she grows up knowing, someone who's been around for most of her life.

I know I haven't been updating this DJ every day and I actually think of taking a week of DJing and just having a clear head without a lucid intention.

As Stephen Laberge wrote in his book:

"The first several times I tried to have lucid dreams in the laboratory, I was using autosuggestion and I found that trying too hard (effortful intention) was counterproductive."

So I've decided that I won't be doing any DJing or effort to induce lucid dream from [25/08/14] to [01/09/14]. I won't be noting down any dreams but I will tag down any Lucid dreams which I will probably put in a special entry or something when the week is over.
When that week ends it will also be the beginning of the new (and last) school year, I expect to have small problems getting used to getting up early but this will probably also result in a steadier sleeping shedule so it might be good in the long run.

1. Mildly disturbing

I'm playing a game that looks a bit like the sims but it's different in some way, I actually have brief moments where I realize I'm playing a game and that I'm sitting at a computer. It's a weird game as my character goes to a remote house by a lake and lives there. Then there's a creepy man/zombie that stalks him in the Woods.

2. Could you turn that around?

I quickly run down the stairs of my house because I'm late for my Biology exam, I haven't learned for it cause I was so confident of myself. Instead I'd been playing the game from previous dream all the time, the dreams are seperate though cause I think it's just my brain linking the two in order to make a cohesive plot. I quickly skim over the pages and see that I know most of it but not exactly so I'm quiet worried, when I arrive at school and enter a classroom which looks like the waiting room of a dentist I sit next to a good friend of my. We sit around a table with on it a small object, it's a small stick with small tubes on it that have different shapes and sizes. I also spot a small card hanging of it with weird names that I presume are the names of the different geometrical shapes of the tubes. The exam is to put the correct name by the correct tube-shape, I look at my friend sitting next to me and we both have difficulties not laughing cause without even asking we both know of each other we haven't learned for this exam. From the place we're seated we can't see the card that contains the names of the tubes, I thought if we're Lucky we could just guess the answers. (Which I actually managed to do once IRL... xD) So I ask the teacher to turn the object around, I didn't however mention the reason for it was to see the names on the card cause I thought this would be seen as cheating.

3. On the front

I'm walking through a beautiful medieval city center somewhere in the Ukraine, I'm a journalist making a documentary about the war or something. Anyway this city actually makes me think of Prague because I've seen that once before on TV IRL. I'm probably 28 years old or something and I'm walking towards a large stage made by rebels on a square infront of the city hall. The people on the stage are asking for people to donate empty cans, I happen to have just drank a soda can so I hand it over to one of the rebels. I'm slightly worried considering they are shouting very loud in Russian I think. The reason why they're doing this is because there has been an outbreak of Ebola recently and I'm also worried for that so I quickly walk back. It starts raining and I try taking out a jacket out of my backpack, I notice every quickly goes inside the buildings so I stop fiddling around in my backpack and instead walk into a coffee bar. In the entrance of the bar I suddenly have a bloody nose, although annoying I'm used to it and don't panick. (I have these very often IRL, probably twice a week in the summer.) The bar itself has an art deco interior and the atmosphere is very pleasant, waitress walks up to me and asks me what I want in Russian but I understand her for some reason.

Hypnagogia, non-lucid

- I hear somebody is writing with a marker on paper while I'm distractedly thinking about dream signs

.../I get to a high place on a hill. I find some pals from the university. We talk about something, then I must go down. I realize I'm on the roof of a two or three floors house. I hang from the ledge and let myself fall doing some acrobatic movements to avoid hurting me/...

.../My wife carefully serves some dishes but she looks upset because she made some mistake putting a piece of flesh with a portion of rice next to it. I don't get what's wrong, but I want to help her to put the rice back to the pot. She gets annoyed because of it cannot be done. She asks me to throw it and get a clean dish because the rice goes on the right and we must respect the formalities.
Her dad (who's not her real dad) is helping her, but I see he's already eating some. I got upset and tell her it's not fair what they are doing because on one hand she asks me to respect the formalities while her dad is doing the opposite. I decide to go out. She asks me to be careful because of a wolf pack has been seen around the place. I see a lone gray wolf on the mountains next to the city, and a group of wolfs of around 10, wandering on the street, when I notice there's a black wolf among them. I tell her, a real wolf pack couldn't have a black wolf. It must be a wolf-dog pack, because of black wolves got extinct long ago I explain. I see a big dark brown dog-wolf licking the stove. Definitively it's a group of dog-wolves I say while I walk between some of them which are lying on the floor to get out of the house which is in the middle of a narrow street/...

2nd Dream

For this dream, starting from where I remember it starting. I think I was in a bad side of town, but I was okay because this guy had kind of adopted me as his daughter or something like that. Anyways we are all sitting there chilling and this car pulls up. About three people get out and they want to rob a store but it's closed and all locked up. So they pull out a knife and decide to come after me, this is when the guy goes after them. But then one of the guys gets this bottle that looks like a huge perfume bottle with one of those squeeze things. So they set this on fire and were kicking it around because it was suppose to explode like a Molotov. I couldn't get away from it and ended up backed into a corner behind the people that were trying to rob the place. I figured they'd make a good shield for when the bottle exploded. Well the bottle turned out to be more like one of those fire crackers that shoots sparks in the air, but the flame was like a torch shooting a few feet up from the bottle. The robbers were standing in front of me cheering as they were burning. I felt a little bit of the heat but I was pretty much safe. Then I kind of woke up and there was a shift.

In the next part I was living with the protector guy and I guess it was a rehabilitation house for teens. I was one of the kids he helped rehabilitate and was now living with him helping with new teens that moved in. Well there was one girl living with us and I guess she had an father in the military or something. She wanted to go home and visit her dad. The protector didn't like this idea and said she was going to come back in sorry shape. I guess she was abused at home, since at this point I had flashbacks of her visiting home and coming back severely depressed. Then there was some kind of meeting and I was told that it was time for me to open my own rehabilitation house. I was saying I couldn't do it on my own.

I had two other fragments. The first one I was in a school I think it was suppose to be my old high school. In the dream it had transformed into a top of the line high school, well at least for science. It had the latest in science lab equipment. The only thing was I was back in school and was trying to enroll. I ran into my old 5th grade teacher and she offered to take me downstairs to enroll as a student. I remember she sat in one of those chair things to take people down a flight of stairs once we got to the bottom I woke up.

In the other fragment, a family member had opened a restaurant. The only thing was all our patrons looked really bored and so we asked them why. They said the food was fine but the atmosphere needed some change. IT was a tiny building with slate grey walls and two windows on the front on either side of the door. I think the windows had bars on them and they had these really tattered and dingy pale yellow curtains (I think the color had faded and that's why they were so pale). So we started talking about what color to paint the walls and at first I said a powder blue, then off I switched to purple. Then I started asking what kind of emotions did the owner want the place to evoke. She was saying she wanted fresh flowers on every table. It was then time to close the restaurant and I was walking home. One of my coworkers from the restaurant pulled up and offered me a ride in classic car. At this point the dream moved back in time so all the cars were "classic". I remember us driving off down the road and then waking up.

Dream - Lucid

I was with Dallas, watching TV I believe. Not sure where we were. He was looking at something with small conch seashells in it, a jar or package. I had noticed he had collected some seashells. I asked him what he needed them for. He told me for fucking. I guess he masturbated with them. I noticed he was only picking up the smooth shells.

Then, something about muppet people. They lived in a town. Jake was in love with one of them, and I was jealous. The muppet loved him too, I think. I wondered if the muppet people had real lives, or if they were just for a performance to make it look like they lived real lives.

Then, Dallas and I were watching the weather on TV. We were outside, though.There was a storm system, but it was way west of us, showing us only getting the rain from it. Dallas commented on this. I was a little disappointed, because I kinda love storms. I then saw a tornado off in the distance. It was quite far away, and not moving towards us. There was then another one closer to us, but it was made out of what looked like muted multi-colored hoops. That one was moving towards us. I calmly said we should find shelter. I asked Dallas where he wanted to go. Dallas wanted to go take shelter in this restaraunt. The multi-colored tornado came closer, and I watched as it went through buildings, but didn't destroy them. It looked like it hadn't even touched them. This weird tornado must not be destructive.

I had just moved into an apartment with Dallas, but I was still moving things out of two other apartments: One that I had had by myself that was actually quite spacious and beautiful, and one that I shared with Cherie' (neither of these places resembled their IWL counterparts). I was finishing up getting things out of the apartment I had by myself with my mom's help. We had gotten pretty much everything out.

I then was at the apartment I had shared with Cherie'. I saw my laptop in there; I had forgotten about it. It had a solitaire screen pulled up with the cards jumping around, kind of like when you win. I thought about how long it had been there on that screen. I then thought about how I had to use a different computer to do everything. I couldn't think of which computer I was using, however.

I then was driving somewhere in town, when I zoned out. I noticed what I thought was too late that I was about to hit a red train. I thought for sure I was gonna die, because a collision seemed imminent. I closed my eyes and braced myself, but then I only ended up going in between the cars somehow. I then got a phone call. It was someone from the company that owned the train. I noticed I was inside what looked like an inside of a space station or something of that nature; everything was metal. The man on the other line was warning me about what just happened. He wanted to make sure I was alright and that I didn't do something like that again. I told him I knew. I felt so silly and a bit ashamed for doing what I did.

I then was in one of the old apartments. My laptop was there. My mom was wanting to sell it, and the young man who wanted to buy it was there. I told him that it wasn't actually for sale, but I had extra laptop cases he could purchase. I was carrying one, and had two black ones sitting on a table nearby. The first one on the table looked too girly; it had floral-looking patterns on it. We then looked at the second one on the table, which I could have sworn was different, but it was exactly identical to the first. The one I was holding onto wasn't for sale.

I then was on the laptop. I think now I was finally at my current apartment, though it looked nothing like my IWL apartment. I was watching a video of my brother playing some Final Fantasy game. I was watching the end of the game, where a three-headed pixelated Sephiroth boss got defeated. The end screen came up, and one of the heads of the Sephiroth was missing, and blood was pooled on the ground. The background was black. It said "DESEPHIRATED". I thought about how my brother had played this for some gaming website that had asked him to do it, and they paid him for it.

I was then standing next to my friend Charles. There were other people there as well. He was playing the same game my brother had played for money on some kind of handheld system. I was leaning up on him watching him play. I thought about how weird it was that I was leaning on him. He then gave me a look to tell me to get off of him, so I did.

I was at the bakery where I currently work. Dallas had just had a performance in a musical that was in the same building. His mom was there, and she gave him a copy of the program of the musical. There was a note written on it that just said "NY". Nothing else was on it. I had thought that I saw some more things written on it. I turned it over, and the back had nothing either. Weird. I then figured out that our nephew, Gary, had written it. Daw. Kinda cute. It made more sense now, at any rate.

I then was trying to write something on the program as a note of when the show took place. I took what, in the dream, was called a "wax gel pen". It looked like an amber-colored crayon. I started to write, but the writing that it made was chunky and illegible. I was trying to write "2014" in the corner. You could kinda tell that's what it said, at least the 0, 1, and 4, but the 2 looked weird. I tried to fix it, but then it looked like the letter G. I also tried writing something else, I can't remember what, but it looked like just the letter W which isn't what I wanted to write. I gave up on that venture.

I then was in the back in an area that doesn't exist IWL at the bakery. I was wearing these huge, rubber black gloves that we use to get things out of the oven. It had a low ceiling, and I had to duck down to move around back there. The freezer was back there. Dallas's mom and Gary then came up. He saw me and I held my arms open for him to come and give me a hug. He ran up and I hugged him tight and for a long time. Gary then wanted to go in the freezer. I didn't want to let him go in there, I think for safety reasons. I opened the freezer door, which had no handle so I had to pull on the side, to let him feel how cold the air was in there. I felt the cold air rushing out. I asked him if he could feel it. He was laughing, and if he responded, I don't remember what he said.

I then started to walk towards the other part of the back of the bakery, the part that actually does exist IWL. I was ducking down still while I walked. When I finally got to the area that exists, I could stand all the way upright again.

I was in bed, playing Tomodachi Life on my 2DS. It was morning, and Dallas had already gone to work. I wanted to put it to sleep and stop playing for a bit, but I accidentally did so while still having the game open (IWL, I did this and it totally screwed up my 2DS and I had to get a new one). Crap. I went to wake it back up, and all the sudden, I had a small plate like the ones Dallas and I have IWL with two HUGE red ants on it with a blob of ketchup as well. The ants were alive, and looked to be attached to one another, as if they were mating, but they looked like they were a part of one another; the second ant didn't appear to have a head or anything, just a seamless attachment to the first ant. The first ant didn't appear to have any eyes or a mouth, just two antennae. Ugh. Creepy looking shit. Behind them, I saw two other ants that looked the same, though the first ant on this pair had eyes.

I then realized I was holding the plate, and quickly dropped it. I didn't want to get stung or bitten by these ants. The ants then moved towards the ketchup to start eating it. God, this whole thing was so fucking weird...

1. I was in an amusement park with a friend from my old school (M). I was on one of the swinging ship rides with him. I was cowering in fear in the corner. I also went around with him buying souvenirs.

2. I was with my high school peers in a big building. I found J somewhere in the building. I noticed how good she looked. She was looking for someone named Leslie. I helped her look for this Leslie person. It seemed like we were all in a rush to get out of the building for some reason. We found Leslie, which turned out to be a sweater. She put Leslie on and looked even hotter. After that, we tried to rush out of the building. J and me ran out of the building together, with the dream ending there.
