non-lucid

Tuesday 8/12/4

Last night bed at 11:15pm - 5:45 am

Alarm woke me up right when my brother was explaining to me how he broke my phone...

We are sitting on a bus, still parked outside of our place. Portugese police came to arrest us. Me, my brother, mom and dad, and I think others. It's not a police for criminals, but more like political police, for opposition and stuff.

We are in large upstairs room, when we hear an explosion. Someone grabbs binoculars to look at the perimeter of the city. Some soldiers were there protecting the town from rebels, or vice versa. We are wondering if this is a sign that they are coming for us. A military jeep full of people drives by quickly and we think they will pass us, but they stop and then few more military vehicles stop in front of us and they turn sideways to block the road.

So we know they would be coming and when I hear many footsteps coming upstairs, I take off my black work uniform pants and start looking for my jeans I had on earlier. Many people walk in and they tell us we have to go with them. I ask if I can get dressed and feed the cats and stuff and they say yes. They are keeping an eye on us while they let us finish up. I can't find the jeans I had on recently, but find another pair.

I fill the food bowl with cat food and have my brother give them more water.

They are taking our computers and we are half-jokingly taking with them. Telling them what cables they will need for them, and how I'm not gonna remember the password for my old computer. We are joking with them, but I know it's serious, and the gonna make me remember the password one way or the other.

I'm still looking for more things to take with me, but they finally usher us outside. There are two buses. Outside of the one on the left are dozens of cardboard boxes with our things in them. I joke that next time we move, we should hire them, because they did it so fast.

We get on the bus on the right side. Bus is full of us and agents. We are still not going anywhere. Not sure what we waiting for. A huge moth flies in and starts fluttering on my brothers shirt. It's so big, we all think it's a small bird. I pick it up and marvel about it. I show it to the agents and I'm so upset that I don't have my camera. I ask them I could get it, but they are amuzed that I still don't get how much trouble I'm in and what they gonna do to me.

So I ask them to take my picture with this moth. I tell them a friend of mine found a 5 inch long caterpillar called Hook Worm and these moth are from it. (Ophelia talked about these and linked pic to it, she has them oh=n her tomatoes).

I ask two young agents for a pic, but they don't do it. I tell them I love takeing pictures in other countries on bus rides, but they are thinking "well, you not exactly on a tour bus, are you".

A woman agent gets on and starts checking me with handheld metal detector. My teeth beep slightly and I tell her I have screws there, so they don't try and find out what it is : (. I have a feeling they will maybe anyway, but now they don't worry about it too much.

I tell them I have a friend in Portugal on the forum, but I don't remember his name. And also in Spain, but don't remember name as well.

My brother hands me my red phone and I ask him why is the back part of the case peeling off and he starts explaining whey alarm wakes me up.

the last dream before waking up, the only one i could recall, was one that I remember finding myself at the top of a rocky sliding path with water runing through itthat ended, opening up into the cave, it was cube shaped, a bit open. I rode the natural water slide until i found myself going over the edge and and landing in a yellow tarp that I continued to slide down until I was in the water.

At the bottom was water, to one side a wooden dock with a few shacks against the wall of the cave.

I got out of the water feeling like something was lurking in the water.

I got to the top of the cave somehow and as i was looking down I thought of a game that would be fun, and then like text appears like im playing a game, nothing i can read but its like the admin is speaking saying that we would just do a round since no one else was joining. I jump down in the water and all of a sudden i can see a massive shark coming up, I jump onto the dock again, and the water is rising this time. Just as i jump for a shack the shark smashes through the dock and is right at the edge of the roof of the shack.

and i woke up

August 09, 2014

---

So, I had like no dreams on the 8th, but the 9th, when I went home, was full of dreams.


Meatatarian

I was at the Quaker Meeting House I attended as a child and occasionally go back to visit, and I was with my cousins for some reason. We were all supposed to get up early for a trip somewhere. Mom and dad had already left, and so while we waited, I went to the back room to watch the kids. I think I showed them the Magic School Bus?

I had left the TV on and fallen asleep; I woke up at 5:48, and went to see if people were awake. We'd all planned on being awake at 6:00. Dad was back somehow, and awake, but I was still half-asleep and so I didn't really know that it was 5:48. I went back to my room and started picking out which shirt to wear. I picked from my pink Lolla shirt, my green "Meatatarian" shirt, and my Black Keys shirt. I picked the Lolla shirt because I always think it looks great on me.




Gummy Bear Sundae

I was in the back room at the Meeting House (this may have actually been a sort of continuation of the last dream), but it had turned into the elementary school from the summer school. There had been a holiday at the school called Latvia Day, for some reason, and the other interns were busing the students.

I was getting dressed and apparently there were still some kids right outside my window, which was open (actually it had no glass at all) and I was paranoid about people seeing me. When I was dressed, I went out into the main area of the building on the first floor, and saw my old mentor teacher, Mrs. B, and my classmate A, who got that same mentor teacher for her year-long placement. Mrs. B was telling A how she would bake a cake for her every Wednesday, and I asked, "Can I have a cake every Wednesday?"

Mrs. B laughed and said, "Psssh no. But you can have a gummy bear sundae every Thursday!" And she pulled a piece of cardstock out of her pocket. There were gummy bears printed in an arch on the paper, and she started cutting them out from the bottom left corner around the arch to the bottom right corner. "I'm too lazy to make a real sundae though."

Then she joked that my shirt was sooooooo ugly, and pulled at the hem of her own shirt; I realized we had almost the exact same shirt on. The only difference was a small spot in the pattern.




Scavenger Hunt

I was at the University, and I was on a scavenger-hunt. We had to go to the auditoriums and audition for a musical as part of the hunt. I've dreamed of these auditoriums before.




Picnic Tables

I had woken up and was writing down a dream I'd just had; it was about picnic tables lined up in color-order. There were picnic tables of all colors of the rainbow.




You're All Ready For Me!

I was walking down the hallway at Zukin's co-op, because we'd had plans to hang out. I got to her door, banged my forehead on it once to let her know I was opening it, and opened the door. She was standing there in nothing but a bath towel, and I said, "Oh, you're all ready for me!"

We'd been planning to take showers before we hung out. All of her clothes, like EVERYTHING she owned plus some because I don't think she owns as much clothes as were lined up in her room. They were folded neatly and piled along her desks and dresser, from wall to wall. Her room was also slightly different; the left wall was exposed brick instead of drywall, and painted a deep red color, instead of orange, and the door was all the way against the left wall. I remember being a little confused and thinking that something was off, but I couldn't put my finger down on it. I almost got lucid, but I must have reasoned that she had remodeled since the last time I was there.

So yeah, She was in a bath towel and I said "Oh, you're all ready for me~!" and then we started making sexual jokes about showers, and she nonchalantly told me that her mom was getting a divorce from her dad because he'd lied to her too many times.




Attack on Titan

I was a new member of the Military Police and was stationed in Trost. I had gotten to know Eren, Mikasa and Armin, and they let me into their little posse.

Then, there was an attack. There were people dying all over the place and we set out to kill as many of the Titans as we could... but everyone was dying. We were all just barely able to evacuate the civilians, and by the time the four of us somehow got through the gate at Wall Rose, we thought we were the only ones left alive. But it turned out there were people alive on the other side, in military uniforms. We didn't recognize any of them, and there was a weird feeling in the air about them. Something was slightly off.

But we joined them and our leader was Stein (yes, that's a screw in his head). We became close with him, he was something like a personal mentor for us. And then he told us that he and Eren's father had been best friends as children.

I saw a flashback of a peaceful prairie with a single, straight, flat stream flowing down the middle. Two boys were kneeling over the water's edges, picking grass out of it. The water didn't ripple at all, which was a little eerie. The boys didn't see each other at first, because they were about 20 feet from each other, on opposite sides.

But then they both looked up. It was Eren's father and Stein. They smiled at each other over their love of pulling grass out of the stream, and were insta-BFFs.

Then there was a sound to my left, and I looked over. A bus was making its way toward us on the water. They had developed tires made of a special rubber that could stay on top of water no matter what They had cars, bikes, even shoes with bottoms made of that leather, that could all go along on top of the water. I watched the bus go by, and noticed that a few buildings had popped up where only grass had been. There was also a sidewalk of sorts on the other side of the stream (I was on the same side as Eren's dad).

A small town gradually grew out of the prairie, and then Eren's dad went into one of the buildings; it was his home. He came back out with a unicycle. It had a tire that could go on water. He asked me if I would like to lean how to ride it, and at first I was a little reluctant and scared to try, but he was persistent. I conceded, and awkwardly got onto the unicycle. He pushed me and waved happily as I zoomed down the river, which seemed to instantly become the hallway in my Oma's house. I wonder if there was a dream portal (can that happen if it's not a lucid dream?). I stopped myself on the ledge near the kitchen door, and almost knocked over a few of my Oma and Grandpa's wooden African art.




Elderly Band

I was in an auditorium, watch a band play. The band was entirely composed of really old people, like 80-90 years old. They were all rocking the fuck out, like heavy metal head banging and screaming, and it was awesome. I was down at the front row for a bit, and then went back up near the top to find my family. I found them to my right, and turned down the isle, apologizing and excusing myself as I passed people. When I sat down with them, though, mom and almost everyone in my party left to get some food. My mom's two sisters and my dad's dad were left with me. Grandpa was trying to get me to eat a miniature blueberry pie. He was super persistent about it so I took one that looked like a target and bit into it.

Dream 1:
I'm at Germain's house in his backyard. Lachlan and I are talking about something. We're standing near a car which is I'm the backyard and he asks if I'm able to drive. I say yes. I can now see Lachlan's wife and I'm talking to her.

Dream 2:
It's night and I'm at what looks like Marinda milkbar, but is a petrol station.
A man is filling up his car and let's it fill automatically, as he walks away. While his cars unattended, a guy that I'm with decides to steal his petrol and siphon it into our car. I help the man siphon and feel a bit nervous as the man may come back at anytime. As the fuel stops, we quickly pack up the equipment we're siphoning with.

I'm now at my house and standing in the kitchen. Dad walks into kitchen and he's talking about the person who is trying to break into the house. He keeps insisting that he won't get in. I feel a little uneasy with the idea of just letting a person try and break into your house while you're home. We can hear rattling sounds coming from the door. After half a minuet or so it stops and Dad walks back to the kitchen with a couple brochures that was left at the door. I kind of have a sigh of relief come over me as it was probably not someone trying to break into our house. One of the brochures was to do with a religion. Maybe jehovah's witnesses?

An older lady is in the kitchen, she would have at least been in her 60's. I feel attracted to her. She's looking in the pantry for something to eat. I tell her that there's not a hell of a lot and will be shopping on Wednesday. She mentions about giving my mother $7 for her birthday. $1 for every year she had passed. I start to feel strong emotions of sadness as I think back to when my Mum was still alive.

We both walk over to where Dad is, he's on the computer listening to music. I show him trick or fix something that will make listening to music a lot easier for him.

Dream Fragment:
Someone walks into my room and it has a strong fart smell.

Side Notes:
Poor sleep as I was too awake. May have been from Hemi Sync.

1. I was in school and was right next to the cafeteria. Lunch was just now starting, so I walked in and looked for my friends. Eventually after a long scan of the entire cafeteria, I found them. They were sitting in the very middle table of the cafeteria. I walked over to their table casually. I was going to sit down next to all my guys, but it was pretty crowded so I sat on the side of them where it was less crowded.
My friends which were sitting at the table were: Darius, Ryan, Bryce, Jared, Andrew, and about 3 or 4 others that I can't remember. As I sat down, I don't think I had a lunch, so I just chilled. A minute later my crush showed up and sat directly across from me at this two-sided table. She looked beautiful with her long black hair and brown eyes. She was just like she was in real life. I wasn't nervous like some guys are around their crush, and I knew that I wouldn't be able to date her because she had a boyfriend. Her boyfriend didn't show up at the time. We started talking and my friend Ryan came over to where me and my crush were as well. I remember just being chill and talking about whatever.
I remember lunch ending(I think I heard the bell) and everyone started getting up and leaving. I got up from my table rather fast because I didn't want my crush's boyfriend to come over and then it end up being awkward. So I left the table and started walking away.

2. (I believe this dream was still part of the one above, not sure though so Im starting a new dream)
I was inside of some building and it was rather open and spacious. Many things were white inside including the floor tile, the walls and some other things. I was walking and I remember being radioed in by my boss or whoever was in charge of me. He told me that I needed to get in the elevator in front of me because my mission was starting. I looked ahead of me and sure enough saw that same elevator, and it was about to close.
I started sprinting to catch it. "I'm not going to make it", I thought. Luckily, as I got close to the elevator some asian guy inside stopped the doors from closing so I could get in. I got in and was breathing heavily. As I stood in the elevator I realized that the asian guy that helped me was the dude that I was supposed to trail. I assumed that somehow he already knew. Finally the elevator got to the next floor, and I got out. I felt a sense of danger come to me.
Then, out of the blue, I started mixing in with another dream or something. It was kind of like a flashback, a really vivid one. I was in a class and everyone was applying for this secret mission job. The interviewer had told me that I got the job, and when everyone else heard this they thought it was unfair and started getting mad. Students were all around me telling me about how they should have gotten the job.
The flashback/dream overlap ended and I found myself standing next to the corner of a wall. It was rather dark on the level I was on. I looked down and in my hands was a gun, a sub machine gun. I realized how dangerous this was-what I was doing. The floor was almost completely quiet, and I could sense around the corner that those Asian dudes were waiting for me. I slowly continued walking around, unsure if I was ready for whatever happened next.
I don't remember anything else of this dream.

3. My dad had just parked in a parking lot of an Arcade place. It was dark outside. Me, my sister, and my dad all got out of the truck. Just as we got out and took a few steps towards the arcade, we were interrupted by a group of people that appeared to be a class of students and their teacher. Everyone in that group started complimenting my dad's truck and how nice it was and all. This went on for a while and then the teacher of the group started asking questions about it. "You must have alot of money to have bought this truck", the teacher said. "Me and my wife make money together", my dad replied(lol how does that even make sense?).
While this was going on, I felt that my snapback that I was wearing was too tight, so I took it off and inspected it. It was black, gray, and red. The inside of the hat, directly behind the bill, was black and apparently this hat was so cheap that the black started rubbing off and onto my forehead. I adjusted the hat and put it back on so no one would see my forehead and the black that was now on it.
There were alot more questions and whatnot, but soon we just walked in the arcade and left the group of students. When we got in, I noticed two guys I knew from school, Scott and some other guy whose name I forgot. Scott was playing some arcade game that was some kind of sport in the water. He left once I came next to him- I'm assuming he knew I wanted to play? I didn't play however, I was just looking around. I looked to my right near the register(where you pay for cards to play in the arcade) and saw some sort of animal playing with a ball. The ball was electric or something and there was something special about it. The animal kept playing with the ball and sometimes the ball would go back into a small bucket.
Whenever it went into the bucket, whichever employee was closest to it, had to take the ball out of the bucket and put it on the ground so the animal could continue playing with it. I forgot what else happened in the arcade. The next thing I remember was being at home in my downstairs restroom looking at myself in the mirror. I took off my hat and looked at the damage it had done. Half of my forehead was a light black and all of my hair was now black as well. I liked that my hair was black, because I've always wanted to dye it that, but I didn't like my forehead. I decided I was going to just wash my forehead off in the shower later.

4. I was near the exit of my neighborhood, next to the main road. I was talking with my dad. My mouth felt weird so I got a mirror and looked inside. I found that my entire gum line, teeth and everything was turned 90 degrees to the left. It looked like all of the inside of my mouth was turned to the left directly facing my left cheek. It felt SO weird. I told my dad about it and he said that, "It's normal, everyone goes through it, just give it some time." I really felt otherwise, but in the end accepted what my dad told me.

5. I was in my neighborhood next to some cul-de-sack driving in my car, but there was one thing weird about this: I was completely naked inside of my car. I was driving too. My mom was riding with me and had just gotten out of the car to do something. The next thing I remember was driving away.

6. I was inside of some big house. Me and my sister were in my mom's car and she was driving her car around inside of the house. Soon, she decided that she wanted to get out. We all got out of the car to look for a quick exit. I found a window that we could just bust through to get out. My mom liked my idea, and I insisted on driving the car out. After some difficulty in persuading her, she finally let me. Although now, her car was not a car, it was an electric moving seat- the kind that old people use to get around.
I got in, and starting going forward. In order to control this seat, you had to lift up each arm rest to go forward. If you lifted up only one side, the seat would turn that way. I was having a little trouble controlling the seat, so, even though I found out how to control the seat, my mom came to me and told me again. I remember going forward in the seat and feeling the power of it. One of my legs kept dragging on the floor for some reason-specifically my left leg. I started going for the window.

7. I was outside of my house in my backyard and it was dark. My dad had gotten mad at me for taking out the trash and not putting a bag in the trashcan, even though I was in the middle of throwing out the trash. He got really mad and I explained to him what I was doing and that there was no reason for him to be mad. He started playing putt putt golf next to our driveway. My mom pulled in the driveway, got out of her car and started walking towards us. She got in the way of one of my dads golf balls, and I expected him to get mad for messing up his game, but he didn't. My mom came over and talked to my dad.

8. I was on my phone on instagram and was looking at a post by a freshman that I knew. It was a picture of one of his friends crouched down on the floor laying in a position like a roasted pig would lay on a plate at a feast. He was naked and whoever took the picture had put their hand over his entire body to hide his nakedness.

I was working back at the YMCA of the Rockies in Colorado, eating at the dining hall where we were given a full view of the mountain ranges. We had a new comer to the YMCA. A young boy probably around eighteen. The only thing that I can remember about him is that he was white with blond hair. Somehow he had manage to get into the subject of his dad and I have no memory as to how I felt about his story. You see, his dad was kind of an ass. Somehow he had managed to form some sort of partnership with an ice elemental that I will now name Eira. Much like your stereotypical ice elemental, Eira was evil. Or at least she did evil things; things that this kid’s dad got mixed up in. Things that his family got mixed up in. I don’t know the whole story but I got the feeling that his father alienated his family because of it. Anyone could see that this boy (who’s name is now Jack) had absolutely no interest in seeing his father again. But, of course, you know what happens when you speak of the Devil.

Sure enough, a tall middle aged man showed up at our table and had a seat. Now this guy, I do remember. I will call him Herman because it was the first name to come into my mind just now. He wore a grey shirt and had brunet hair with signs of greyness. He was all together pleasant but his aspect clearly made Jack uncomfortable. Now I don’t remember how this happened but at some point the man got to talking about Eira. Jack did not like him talking about her as it only served to reopen old wounds but he kept going on. Then he turned to me. For some reason he had commissioned me to fight her. I thing he wanted me to get rid of her. She was now at Snow Mountain causing trouble and he wanted her gone. Perhaps he wanted to be out from under her thumb, perhaps he really did care about the trouble she was causing here. One thing’s certain, she was the cause of a number of problems and they would not be resolved so long she was still breathing, or at least that was the assumption.

I ended up meeting with her in the front part of the dinning hall and we got to talking. I remember her aspect well. She was made entirely of ice but could still move with the fluidity of a normal human. She wore white and light blue clothing and had white hair. The only thing that I can’t remember about her is her eyes. She actually was not that bad of a person to talk to. The things that she did were wrong (whatever those things were) but that did not stop us from hitting it off. I grew to like her and she grew to like me. This, of course, was a rather frustrating revelation for we knew we could never be together.

After several unmemorable events I found myself in a dark hallway. As I pass by the right chamber in the hall I see Eira there training for what was going to be our final battle. I had agreed to fight Eira to the death in order to put an end to whatever harmful enterprise she was pursuing at Snow Mountain. She and I exchanged a glance but never spoke a word to each other. I then went up to a chamber on the left side of the hall where I would run through several laborious levels of some sort of training gauntlet. I barely remember running through them and once I was finished I returned to the training room where Eira was and we exchanged another look. This was it, I didn’t care what she was, I was ready to say “screw it all” and be with her. But as I approached the training room to tell her this a man pulled me aside. It was Herman accompanied by the architect who designed the gauntlet. Herman told the architect that I was to fight Eira. Impressed by this the architect led me back to his room where he wanted to hear my plans and show me more gauntlets. Eira and I never saw each other again after that.

Hi guys, it seems my dreams are getting more vivid again and they also seem to get longer again with a clear story-line in them. I actually enjoyed the NLDs upon wakening up.

1. Special ops

I'm somewhere in a dusty basement which seems to be the HQ of a large terrorist network. It takes place in the middle east as we all have our faces covered with cloth and we just look like a bunch of terrorists. I had the option to turn subtitles on or off but turned them off for immersion I think. I only understood small bits of the arabic language they spoke, the other two terrorists that were in the basement with me seemed to be discussing who could be the rat in the group. I tried acting as cool as I could and quietly left the basement, I knew I was a special ops agent. When I got on the Streets I gave the go-code for the army hidden around the city. They begin their assault instantly and when a squad suddenly aims at me shouting me to get on the ground I quickly pull off my headgear and shout I'm the undercover agent. Soon after that they escort me away.

2. This is going well!

It's the first day of school and also the first class, math! I'm sitting infront of the class next to a friend and I feel confident in myself. It's a new year, new chances and I tell myself this year will be easy probably making new friends and becoming popular... Then as the minutes go by I start getting more and more confused by the theory the teacher is explaining, to the point where I'm starting to doubt if I will even pass the first test.

3. Vague

To be honest I really don't know wether the following was an FA or if I did it IRL. I got out of bed and heared the alarm of the dryer, although annoying I got out of bed and cleaned the filters.

4. New layout

It's pause on the first day of school and I walk through the hallway towards one of the stairwells leading down to ground-level so I can enter the yard. Suddenly I notice how a new building has been build from block-B towards the gym. It has a path going over it's roof from block-B's second floor offering a nice view over the entire school and forest around it. I think of how good this place is to chill with friends during these moments. I make my way down and walk towards the very edge of the school at the border with the forst where I for some reason have to crawl with a lot of people towards a desk standing there in the open. When I get to the desk I have to give a document for administration which I can get back at the beginning of the line.

Last night felt distinctly lucid twice only to lose the dream upon reentry.

In the first, I am in a bedroom, and having a discussion on lucid dreaming (while lucid).In hypnopomia, I even review the dream so as not to lose it (if I had had my shit together, I would have simply awoken and recorded the dream). Once fully awake, the dream memory vaporizes in front of me, more or less.

Probably one of the first two dreams of the night, which historically are not great moments for dream recall for me. However, I think I have been lazy with recall per se, as I have been experiencing lots of day residue and "garbage" dreams that I have neglected to record in any great detail. Maybe this is the impetus I need to get back into recording my dreams in detail.

Second dream: I am lucid and attempting to complete the tasks of the month, but don't remember scenery or whether or not I succeed at any of the tasks, or indeed even remember them correctly. Gab has developed software to assist dreamers while they are still dreaming, and to publish their attempts at the TotM. She publishes mine (in a tiny newspaper), describing my attempt.

The dream drifts into asemi-lucid where I am running a foot race through an apartment complex (maybe my old digs) with a WL friend. He is extremely fast, and while I am able to manipulate the dream to make myself faster than I normally am, he is still beating me. We are running at night alongside a chainlink fence, and there are several hairpin turns in the grass. I epicly jump over the fence and into some undergrowth, but am still daunted by how fast my opponent is. I attribute this in dream to his long legs.

Finally, I am able to use some of my minions (apparently I had minions) to help me cheat. One of them grabs my WL friend through the fence while I am able to take off and finish the race. However, my awareness stays with my friend and is in fact shifted into that of my minion. At the moment when I feel I must release him (as he's fighting me the whole time) another minion grabs him, my awareness shifts into that minion, and then I turn mine and his hands into stone (I am grabbing him by the wrists). During all of this I more or less feel that I am dreaming, but just don't "get" it.

I tried a different method of MILD than what I am used to, and think I will continue the experiment tonight. I will keep you all updated

Gamestop
It's night and I'm walking with my sister on the street. We walk by a gamestop. I ask her if it's worth buying pokemon Silver, which they are heavily advertising. She says yes, because it has alot of extra content in it that gold doesn't have. This is because Lugia's in the game. I ask her if this is similar to how Crystal had Suicune in it and had some extra features compared to Gold and Silver to which she responds with a yes. We decide to go in. I see a bunch of xbox games on my left, but upon closer inspection in seems that they are in fact gamecube and ps3 games. I'm looking for Silver. I go to the man at the back, since I can't find the game, and I think he's sleeping. I pay him some money anyways, even though I haven't found the game yet, thinking I'll just take it once I've found it since I've already paid. Before doing this however, we ran in to two twin girls. They were heavy, wore glasses, and were blonde (similar to a person I know). We knew each other from when we were kids (only in the dream) and were surprised to see each other. They said they were at the gamestop because they wanted to participate in this slime challenge? (there were two large cannons in the gamestop that looked similar to the mega cannon chip from megaman. There were also some big beanie bags to sit on) We end up outside again and the twins are in a car. We're still talking. I'm walking by some tree roots and the twins mention that there aren't many black people at this college.

Deforestation
I'm with my sister again, but my uncle and cousin are there as well. I'm lounging in a comfy chair with my old gameboy advance sp. I can clearly see how bright red it is, and I think my battery may have been low. I talk to my cousin about video games, particularly if he's played Skyrim. He says he hasn't, and I say that's ok, but I secretly think it's not. My uncle then brings up deforestation, and I think there's a forest in sight.

Usopp
Usopp and one other member of the straw hat pirates, maybe Chopper (it might actually be zoro), were both gone on a mission. The straw hat pirates were fighting this evil sorceress. She was absorbing the powers of the Earth. She was on top of some huge cliff and there was this waterfall surrounding everything. At the base of the cliff were the Wood benders, and they were flying up toward her due to her tornado like summon. Once they reached her, she would absorb their strength. I think she had recently absorbed the strength of the ice benders. The straw hat crew is in a real pinch. Usopp comes out of nowhere, on fire and heavily injured, running toward a pier. This is super impressive, because there's no way he should be able to even move given the extent of his injuries. Chopper did something very similar. With the two of them here, the straw hats have a much better chance to beat the sorceress, so they celebrate with a feast. They're on their ship, and I clearly see Zoro lying down, Luffy to his left, and Usopp to his right. Nami is sitting above them. Usopp is ripped, and is eating a sweet potato and chicken mixture. Nami says he's picked up the personality of someone he met on his journey, and he says maybe, giving off a super cool and mature vibe in doing so.

Dream - Lucid

I was at Disney World on my honeymoon, but I wasn't with Dallas, I was with Jake, an ex. We were in this building called DisneyQuest that was not like the real one at all. We were waiting in a crowded waiting area with a long, high top table, and probably other tables as well. Jake and I were sitting at the high top table. Many other people were as well. We were waiting to get in. Somehow, I got in first, and he had to continue to wait. He didn't seem to mind.

I was then inside. There was this thing you could do in there, some kind of quest (quest was in the name of the activity), where you jumped into this huge underwater area/maze. There were lots of items you could pick up in there, but you could only keep them if you brought them back up before you woke up from your lucid dream. So basically, you were down there lucid dreaming with many other people, racing to get items that you wanted to keep.

I was then standing in a small cave-like square room with a square hole cut out of the stone floor that had water in it. It was an entrance to the lucid maze. At first, I was hesitant to go down there because I was scared of running out of air. I then "remembered" (again with the "remembering") that there were air pockets I could always swim up to if I needed to; apparently, this is something I had done before. I gathered my courage and was going to dive in, but ended up jumping in feet first instead.

I was then swimming down underneath the water. There were all these open treasure chest-type things with items in them, and all kinds of different ways you could go. The atmosphere was a bit dark, but not so much so that you would have trouble seeing anything. I was looking for a specific book. It was something I had ordered and forgotten to pick up, so I figured I'd get it here. Many other people were swimming about as well grabbing items. It was like a race/game. I kept swimming and finding more places where items were. One area on the edge looked like an old, broken down temple entrance. It had some chests with items outside of it.

I was then woken up by my husband's alarm. He put it on snooze. I went back to sleep into the same dream.

I was still swimming underwater, but it was after everyone had left. The item chests were all empty. It seemed like it was after hours.

Again, the alarm went off. Woke up, went back to sleep in the same dream.

I was then going into the waiting area to see if Jake had gotten in yet. I approached him, but did not go too close. He was still sitting at the table. His back was turned to me, and he was drinking a red beverage out of a long, tube-like glass. I figured it was an alcoholic beverage. I decided to leave him be.

I then was back under the water. The items had been refilled, and more people were swimming about. I kept thinking about my body being asleep up in the cave room with the entrance I started in, and how I'd have to start all over from there, empty handed, if I woke up. I had a lot of items, and it was hard to carry them all. I needed some sort of container for them. I noticed that people had used containers to carry their things if they had a lot. As I was grabbing for an item in a chest, a lady and her small son swam by. The lady was talking to the son about an item that he wanted.

I was then thinking about the book that I wanted to grab. I thought about how it looked. The cover had a Mii looking character dressed in a funny outfit from Tomodachi Life. I then figured I did not need to grab it, because the hotel had delivered it to my room.

I then had the feeling that I was going to wake up, and I did. To my husband's alarm. Again. Went back to sleep after he turned it off. Same dream.

I was then going to get Jake so we could leave. I went into the waiting area. We were then in a cab, getting taken back to our hotel. The cab driver was a white middle-aged male. He was talking to us, but I wasn't really listening. I was thinking about all the other parks, but I wanted to continue what I was doing at DisneyQuest. I then looked over at Jake, and he had his dick out. He was playing with it. I was really hoping that the cab driver wouldn't turn around and see, because he'd kick us out. He was slapping it on his stomach, and it was making a wet slap noise. I was afraid he was going to start jacking off. I felt embarrassed, but at the same time, compassionate for him; I knew he had a problem. I just didn't want the cab driver to notice.

We were then standing up somewhere outside, and he was talking to I think the cab driver. He had on these short brown cargo shorts, and you could clearly see his hard-on bulging beneath them. He turned to the side, and it was so obvious from that angle. At least he was wearing pants now.

I then started to think that this situation was not right somehow. Wasn't I married to Dallas, not Jake? I'm so happy with Dallas, I want to be with him, not Jake.

The final alarm then woke me up, and I was awake for good.

I thought that this was a very interesting concept for a dream. I wouldn't say I was lucid or semi-lucid for any of it, but it was a strange state to be dreaming that I was lucid dreaming within a dream. I also liked how towards the very end of the dream, I noticed things weren't right. Of course, that happened right before my husband's alarm went off for the final time. That would have definitely been my lucid trigger. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed this dream.

Note that although this was my first time intentionally going to bed for the night, it sort of counts as a WBTB. I ended up falling asleep on the living room couch in the late afternoon since I never slept the night before and then woke up at night some five hours later. After that I ended up staying up for a few hours to do things online, and then went to bed for real.

I was back at a new college which in some small ways seemed to double as a mall, and I was just trying to get to all of my classes on time for the first day. I'm pretty sure I checked out at least one regular class before this, like an English or Math class or something, but the first thing that I can vividly recall is going to the first of my two classes that I had with D, my partner. I was just excited to be going to school with her, so I hurried up to meet her for that class.

Before we found the entrance, which was actually hidden pretty well and involved getting through a mild obstacle course, Godric from True Blood showed up to join us, claiming that he was in the same class as well. However, while D helped me up to the class entrance after she made it, neither of us thought to do the same for Godric until after we had already gone in and passed the point of no return (I guess). However, he did show up maybe a few minutes after that on his own.

When we first walked in, what we found was very odd for a classroom setup.... All we could see all around us were doors leading to what appeared to be bunks, just all rooms with two beds each and pictures in frames near each of them. There was also a bigger room with just one bed, but by the time I saw that one D had already claimed it and was setting up all of her belongings that she just suddenly had on her. I just continued to wander through all of the rooms until I noticed something: the pictures by the beds were actually of important people in the lives of people who were to be assigned to each room. After seeing the one clearly meant for D, I went back to tell her and saw that the ones in the big room were of people from my life instead. I don't recall who I saw in D's pictures, but upon waking up I realized that the people in mine were just a few lesser characters from Orange is the New Black.

Once I figured out the room setup, for whatever reason I was suddenly struck with the feeling that I was supposed to be given the "master" room because they wanted me to lead some kind of project, and everyone else in these individual bunks were supposed to be my workers that were going to help me. I walked out of that room and back down the hall to a new area that I'm not entirely sure I had noticed before, or if it had even existed. There seemed to be some construction going on back there with employees from the college just tidying everything up to be ready for arrival. I didn't see what they were working on at first, until I turned back around to the entrance and saw what was just beside it behind me. Potted cannabis plants grew almost as tall as the ceiling, and that's when I knew... they wanted me to run a grow up. Figures they would do this, they don't really care about our educations.

I woke up briefly after this, and I'm not sure what time it was but it was dark outside so I just ended up falling back asleep. The same dream appeared to continue just shortly after it left off, so I'm including it in this same entry.

I want to say I went to another totally normal English or Math type class again after I left the grow op area (which seems to have resolved itself somehow), but again it is hard for me to say. The next thing that I can remember is going to my other class that I had with D, hoping that it was going to be a bit more normal. I found the right room and walked in, this time getting there alone and being the first one to arrive. It seemed to be just a regular classroom with one long table and a couple of desks, so I was confident that it would be more like a normal setup.

I vaguely recall that when I had first showed up there was some really annoying person following me, a girl I think. I was worried that when I came in she would follow me in here as well, so I had hurried to lock the door. The regular lock on the door didn't actually work no matter which way I turned it (of course), but luckily there was an extra latch above it that did the trick. When D showed up eventually I still saw this person waiting out in the hallway too, so I made sure she only opened the door slightly and hurried inside so that we could lock it fully again.

I was ready to spend some fun quality time alone with D for a little while and every day (considering that it's just a college class), but we were rudely interrupted by some group of students who just needed to come in for some reason. I don't really remember what their reason was anymore, but D was sympathetic to them. They came in to sit down and figure out whatever issue it was that they were working on, but at the same time I felt like their chat was very lighthearted and it seemed more like they came here just to not have to deal with that for a while, rather than to figure out a solution to it. Unfortunately, they never really showed any sign of leaving, so finally I regretfully just had to leave the class without getting to share much time with D.

I walked just a little bit further down the hall to my next and possibly last class, regularly checking my printed out schedule to make sure that I was heading to the right room. Now that I think about it, the room number probably kept changing as it was quite confusing.... If only I had been more observant. Anyway though, I was excited for it because this class was actually supposed to be a double-blocked class entirely about the band Weezer, who I really like. I ended up waiting outside the door with a crowd of people standing there only to see the door open and find out that the class was being taught by Weezer themselves. I was pumped, and they even made a comment about how part of teaching this class was related to promoting their new album, which one person interjected by saying it sucks (even though it's not out yet), making the whole thing super awkward for a moment.

They all continued to talk about the class and I continued to be really enthusiastic for it except for me now acute hatred of that one guy who had spoken out, but unfortunately I never got to see what the class was like as I woke up before that whole exchange had ended.

If only real school was as exciting as it is in my dreams....

I am on vacation with my family on this tropical island. We have also brought along another teenager who looks alot like me. I can recall us staying in this cabin on the beach that from the outside looks like a straw hut, but on the inside it is this fully furnished, multi story condo complex with room for everyone.
The other me is on his computer, and my mom is trying to convince him to go outside and have fun on the beach.
...
I am on the beach. I see somebody who is an artist with all these drawings around them. One of the drawings almost blows into the water and I catch it. I then ask some elderly dream characters if they would please return it to the artist.
...
A storm starts to roll in. I go back to the cabin. For some reason I feel like this has happened before and that we should leave the island because the storm is going to get very bad.

I wake up. I hear some kind of musical beat as I fall back asleep. I am sitting in a dark room. There is a tray of wet packed sand in it. The sand is grey on top, and just beneath that there is a layer of blue-green sand. I run my hand through it and break the layer of grey sand.

I am designing buildings in and placing them in a city. I lose control of the buildings and random structures start developing. It feels like I am playing Simcity.

I am in a meadow environment. There are some trees in front of me. Someone is standing there, too blurry to make out. They tell me to remember the phrase 'Arrow, Arrow, Arrow!'

I am high above earth's surface in space, 'standing' so that my feet are still facing earth. As if I am on a glass platform above earth. I can feel that something is above me. Can't tell what. I look down at earth and am all but hypnotized by the patterns present in the clouds and landforms.

.../I'm attending an open air metal festival organized by a friend of mine. It's the last participant band and I see many attenders going up to the hills during the pause. Apparently the show is taking place out of the city. There's no lights out of the place. Lot of people seem to be drunk or high. I don't care. I'm hearing a riff in the background which seems to be very familiar although I cannot distinguish which one is it/...

* Woke up with the riff in my head and I realize I've heard it before but just in dreams. I hum it into my voice recorder and I hope I won't forget about it. It has keyboards but I don't know how I'm going to record that because I sold mine long ago.

.../I want to connect my deck to the equipment because I want to record the show but I don't find proper cables, mine are are tangled. I think I could use my voice recorder, but perhaps the signal output could be too much for it. I go on trying to put in order the mess up in my hands. I see a couple of guys using my deck to make a sound test or something like that. I think it's great to have my deck used for the concert. I talk something with them/...

.../I'm watching a documentary of a black metal show boycotted by punk-rockers, some of them get on the stage and try to pull the microphone off the singer's hands who has his face characteristically painted and hardly tries to keep the pole in his hands. After that, I turn to see the opposite happening at a punk show where some black metal fans are doing the same but with some flags painted with spray, hanging on the sides of the hall. They hang themselves to pull those things down and move along a line that holds all the flags, it looks they are having fun doing it and I follow one of them until all the flags are on the floor.
At one side, next to the gate, I see a TV playing the trailer of the documentary with Ozzy Osbourne's "Ultimate Sin" playing in the background. Then I see him shaking hands with Madonna and giving her a classic long arm bracer. Then a bride gets out from a plane, she's wearing a very hot transparent tulle wedding dress. She holds a baby on her arms while greeting some public that apparently went to see her. She seems to be a famous Hollywood star, and it looks like it's related to the Heavy Metal scene because of the context/...

.../I get to the tribe, the cabins have no front wall and they look like market stands, selling clothing. I see some jeans when I hear a voice telling something about Curt Cobain related to the mark of the jeans. I think it's sort of company that earns lot of money by selling cheap things although hiding its real brand. I see the different logos in the jeans, although according to the documentary, its the same producer.
Then I see a kid at the shore of a river in the middle of the jungle. It looks like the Amazonas and the kid is lying on the floor of the entrance of his cabin. The water sometimes gets into the house taking the kid out of it. I'm trying to take a picture of it and post it telling something about the war and its consequences although there's no war around, I want to start a scam too/...

* It's nice to see this jungle again because of it's related to some epic dreams...

I dreamed of being close to some kind of podium in my village(It is nonexistent in real world), there was one musician performing RMB: Touch the sky. I start to dance on steps and then i started to run away. I felt strong wind, so fast I ran, but it seemed to me that it is not so fast. Then I forgot to move my feet once and I didn't fall... Then I stopped to use my feet and glided through streets of my village.
I got close to shop. I remembered I wanted to do shoppings for my family. I couldn't stop my gliding, even putting my feet on tarmac didn't make much difference. I turned my back in direction of my gliding and concentrated on stopping. It took me maybe 100m to stop. I went into shop. There were many people inside, I couldn't go inside. I waited. I saw some kind of hamster jumping in between racks in the shop... Then I woke up.

Now in real world:
Half an hour I returned from shop- It was closed. There is written that it is sanitation day. It will be opened tomorrow. It is strange, normally wednesday is a sanitation day.

02:08 bedtime

08:14

+ pool/billiards stadium, tables different shapes and sizes, balls large

+ sliding into a locker room to find the tv schedule very threatening man confronts me, Kids trying to see in some room, they can't come down the stairway there's a locked gate door there

+(f) walking along a ledge

+ epic nld (previously secret ) (wrote all this without consulting my notes )

fight:
I was visualizing flying while trying to WILD/sleep, and I entered a dream flying. I sensed that an opponent was flying towards me and I summed a force field umbrella shield to occupy the space in front of me.

I'm then on the ground, and facing two opponents about 15 feet away. I raise my wrists and out of each one a thin dark purple laser beam fires to hit each one opponent. They're slightly moving and I track each one independently, maintaining the fire on them. Then I advance into their position and see a female DC, and engage in some caveman.

trees/theater:
I'm in a large indoor area opening on to a small body of water, across the water is a large stand of tall trees (like Eucalyptus) bright in the sun against a blue blue sky, it is beautiful, I want to capture the moment on my camera, I move forwards to the edge of the water because there's an overhanging ceiling and I want to get an unobscured view of the trees. I'm squatting down for the picture and I see that the light has changed and the trees are now not so bright, like they're in shade. Then I see that some trees are now animated momuments with heads on the top of historical figures like America's founding fathers. These columns are growing/shrinking and swaying like trees in the wind. I hear some guy come up behind me to take a picture I hear him say it's a great view, I think he's too late, the light has changed. I get up to leave, a troupe of young actors has entered the area, lots of people, I walk up a stairway leaving the area past a young Asian male actor who's enthusiastically reciting some lines.

I'm now indoors, heading down a stairway. Off to the side of the stairway are a few rows about 3-4 seats wide of theater seating. A young woman is seated in one seat next to the stairway, I stop to talk to her. I place my right foot (wearing a shoe) onto the seat back where she's sitting, think that's a bit rude, move it away from her towards the edge of the back of the seat, decide that's still rude and take it away entirely, she reaches up and brushes off the dust from my shoe from the edge of the back of the seat. She starts soliciting me for something, giving me a pitch (something to do with the theater? don't remember), as soon as I figure this out I get antsy and say "no thanks" and continue down the stairs.

My way on the stairs is blocked by a large crowd, I need to go down the final flight of steps to the room below, but there's no way. Down below a woman is asking the crowd what kind of drinks she should order. I move to the right of the crowd, there is no banister at the edge of the upper floor, move back to the crowd on the stairs, there's no way through, step to the right and just jump/float down (about 12 feet) to the floor below, some guy is concerned I've fallen but I wave him off, "I do that all the time" I say/think or something similar.

planetarium:
I'm in a very large round room with a tall ceiling, I'm looking at some sort of science exhibit. A show begins on a curved screen that runs the circumference/perimeter of the room's wall right below the ceiling. The screen is opening wider, wider, reaching 180 degrees wide perhaps, and the show begins. There are individual chairs in the center floor area, haphazardly arranged, I sit to watch the show a bit. I see some stuff on the screen and am entranced, some of it is patterns in 3D. I ball comes flying through the air right to me and I try to catch it with my arms against my chest but I miss and it bounces off to my left on the floor

hieroglyphs / artwork:
I'm observing a fascinating drawing that is made of letters and symbols. I start making a copy of the original because I want to save it for later (when I wake up? almost lucid). I VERY CLEARLY see the letters and symbols and copy the first few, the original is on the left and my copy is on the right.

I'm copying a work of art consisting of chains and spiked balls (like the medieval ball and chain weapon) I draw about 10 spiked balls and then start filling in the chains.
