Last night bed 1am - 9:45 am. Second day off.

DR

- I'm stocking shelves
- Somebody brings me 5 gallon tank of helium, and I'm like, oh no
- and a long dream, which I forgotted

I'm with my father in the car, and so is a friend of mine. I'm telling her that in the USA they're building rollercoasters for cars, in which you use your own car. We're driving through some kind of 'secret' company, so we're not supossed to be here. A guy appears and tells us that if we scratch his car there will be consequences. All of sudden the main plot changes and my friend is no longer here. Now I'm out of the car watching that we don't crash with the big window in front of us. I reduce the impact but broke my middle finger.

Now we are inside the building and I tell another guy that I want to call the God to heal me. He tells me that it's only to see the future, that we can't use it whenever we want. Suddenly he appears and tell us that we will see that we won't be able to see the future anymore. He starts to summon something on a table.

A baby starts to form, first the bones appears and then the flesh. He's covered in bandages and when the God ends they fall to the floor, making able seeing the new creature. He opens his eyes and stares at us, when I realize that there's something on his forehead; a big red eye that he opens after a few seconds. I wake up.

Wallet problems
I'm at Home Depot, carrying a few items. At the check out, I can't find my Home Depot card. The cashier thinks I'm goofing off and reminds me that it's time to pay. I apologize to the female cashier, explaining it's a great wallet, so thin and easy to carry, but sometimes it makes it harder to find cards. I go through my wallet pulling out all sorts of other cards and even old receipts. A customer is now in line behind me, and I apologize to him. I end up dumping out the entire wallet, but still no Home Depot card.

Now I'm sitting in a cab, in the front passenger seat, except the driver is to my right. The cashier is the driver. I'm still looking for the card. She's driving all over, and I'm searching deep in my wallet. It's hard to keep everything organized on my seat. Eventually I give up and she stops. I ask her what I owe and try to think how big a tip to give her. I know I saw a $20 bill in my wallet, and that I saw at least one other bill. Twenty is too much, but maybe a ten? She suggests that as her tip I could get her some of her favorite music. She really likes a style called ???, and she's missing ??? and ???. I go to write down those names, though she changes the second one to Ogre ???.

Now I'm walking around in a crowded downtown area. At an intersection ahead of me, a man stands in the middle holding a flashing red pole about his height. A fire truck edges through the intersection turning right (my left). As I think on this, I notice a couple of foreign men walking ahead of me, and I decide to follow them through the crowd. I just want to leave, and it looks like they're on their way out. Sure enough, they lead me back to the parking area. As I part ways with them, one of the guys notices a set of signatures on a column. They're all very nicely caligraphed and I suspect they're from the city founders. He figures it's some kind of guest registry, so he grabs a pen and adds his own name. I don't say anything, just keep walking, snickering to myself.

Now I'm getting out of a cab. I see a minivan next to us with a small girl getting into the van in a strange way, somehow sliding down the front passenger seat. The cab driver comments that she did that as a kid.

Fragments
I'm flying around a construction site collecting bonuses.

I'm push-starting some medium-sized chunky toy cars.

I'm gracefully moving around on winding foot bridges over water.

this was kinda an interesting dream. i was in some lady house and then i saws nat and she told me she wasthere last week and had to sleep. the lladie said to her yeah you can totally stay here il bed you and feed you in the morning. she was pumped and thenn said the real met the imaginary when she had to pee in the middle of the night. but then the lady was standing watching nat as shee peeed which scared her. so i was scared to sleep over there

also later tried to get my haircut and the cop came and talked to me for jay walking and the girl who cut my hair was an old friend i guess

now later in the drea, i was at this massive pre school. kelly was there tring to old me back i told her i was thereto rescue the kids. so i went to wear all the hotrdes were gatering and watched thisolder guyajust throw them everywhere and then i helped him wrestle and then the train broke down and rfealied its good i didnt odokjffksdlafjds

#1) Later more - It was weird - about what you can do with electricity and children - supposedly for their good..
#2) Later more - This was me on a quiz-show and in the end in an animated argument about hypnotizing animals with Joe Brandt.

I did a WBTB 5 h after going to sleep - first tried for WILD - but turned around after a while and be-mantrad my dream-signs. At bedtime I took 6 mg Melatonin - which left me completely fresh and awake today - not like with the 15 mg at all. Seems a good dose to me.

Tadaa - LD - actually this was just about the first quarter of my extensive plan - but I got it done exactly as I wanted to that point - the real adventure part is missing unfortunately:

These dreams with the old house used to make me sad - but now that I detect the thing more and more often - I look forward to them.
What led up to it, dreamwise, I can't remember any more - I was inside my old room when the realization came to me.
So first of all I counted fingers - 5 each - but I knew it anyway - did a nose-plug afterwards, which left no doubt open.
Then I started what I had planned as step one intellectual stabilisation with a bit of physical at the side.
I looked about and rubbed my hands - but mainly I told myself, who I am and what I am doing - dreaming competitively - having a plan.
I went through my plan and added up points for the maximum strike, having read that maths can make you clearer - also told myself, there would be no reason at all to wake up and that I should regularly re-stabilize to not loose lucidity.
I think, this intellectual stabi was quite good.
But then the phone rang - and I had a friend of mine on the line, the one, who is also interested in LD - and I was convinced, that this would be the first LD - real life connection - bubbling over full of revolutionary spirit.
In that talk - I suddenly lost optics - I concluded, that I had closed my dream-eyes to concentrate on the conversation, and put up a real effort to open them back up - what I finally did open, were my real eyes..
Not a big problem - DEILDed right back in.
Again RC and stabi - being sure of myself mentally - I stabilized the senses.
Including eating a jelly ball lying about - it tasted like sugar and cherry.
Then my grandma came in - I told her I got no time - got to go flying and teleporting to Nasqueron.
So I went outside, there was a spring-meadow with white and yellow flowers.
I jumped in the air and air-swam about a bit to have that over for the three-stepper - but I had planned on getting myself a flying carpet or platform to air-surf with, per basic summoning for the further planned journey.
So I pretend-remembered, that I had left it between the trees in the distance - went there and searched - and I found it - hovering maybe 10 cm over the ground.
It was a silver surfboard - I had been picturing myself surfing the air - but hadn't consciously pictured the Silversurfer.
I can't cease to be soo amazed at with what ease such things work!!

I stepped on it - but while trying to get it going where I wanted it to - I woke up.


Sooo - I'm going to wildly RC away today - and have a real incentive now to not botch my WBTBs with being lazy and turning over to sleep on.

3/13/14

4:54 am non-lucid

Dream that I have dark skin and light brown hair and am dating this boy and am in high school. Doesn't feel like me, more a character.

I have a blog in the dream.

Scenario repeats itself once.

Joined this sort of club with the boyfriend.

At the end, I am brought to the attention by someone older than me that I tell about the club there might be hazing and I need to report it. I decide to report it.

Finally get this really nice black wallpaper and hold painting for my home to make it look fancy. Kind of like Animal Crossing.

Play a Mario group game with the club and am really bad at it, such as steering. At this point the dream freezes and voice overs from club members, like these were the deleted scenes alternative version and the first scenario was what really happened.

I'm with B. Obama. It is very nice person and gives us a cupcake. Then he ask for chocolate.
Then I'm coming home with a briefcase and a guy tries to steal it, but I avoid it.
I come home through a restaurant kitchen.

Fragment
Being in a room, sort of a community center thing that reminded me of a 7-11. I know Nathan was there, and probably some other people. I think before that we'd all been wandering around Rock Creek Park.

Dream - Velociraptors
Yo this was a velociraptor dream. I suppose I would call this a zombie theme, since the general idea is fending off hordes of undesirable things that want to eat me and that are very difficult to run from.

SO in this dream I was in, I think, the Cheverly house, and Ben was with me. There were also a few others, one of which being an older businessman sort of fat guy who seemed very doomed under the circumstances. Also some people were fending off velociraptors in the van at some point, or maybe that's just something I considered doing myself? Personally I didn't like the idea of being trapped in a tiny space with a bunch of velociraptors, but different strokes for different folks. I preferred to be trapped in the basement.
Actually the basement wasn't as open as you'd think, thanks to the piles of junk everywhere, but they did prevent the raptors from surrounding my brother and I right away.

Anyway I can't really remember how it got going, but I do remember that Ben and I were in the basement for a specific reason, something we had to collect, some reason we couldn't leave right away. He was attending to that while I tried to fend off the first wave of velociraptors with something that may have been a baseball bat or simply a long chunk of wood. And apparently the dream's graphics engine got a bit lazy, because the first wave of raptors consisted of rather small clear-colored raptors that were fairly difficult to spot, owing to their see-through-ish-ness. I remember whacking a few, but I had the impression that I wasn't going to be able to hold them off very well, and/or they didn't seem particularly impressed by my attack, despite being hit over the head with a chunk of wood bigger than they were. At any rate, I did seem to be managing to stall them for the moment, at which point the next wave of velociraptors arrived.
These were a size larger and featured Graphics 2.0 with full coloring, which appeared all the more striking as though to make up for the previous and more boring first wave. Their color was something like brown, red, and green, with dramatic zigzags along their backs, and very bright eyes and faces. I don't recall fighting them very much; I think their appearance was a sign that we should leave the basement, lock the door, and never open it again.

Man there was some kinda plotpoint that had to do with why we were in the basement, and maybe even why raptors were coming to attack us, but I can't remember it. Scientific research? Who knows >:U

I also remember a point at which I was talking to the fat business guy in an upstairs room.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any satisfactory conclusion to this velociraptor dream. OH WELL. I'm pretty sure there was more to it as well, like maybe their emergence from the basement as the situation worsened, but I'd hate to speculate. (I hate accidentally rhyming too but whatever.)

Exactlly what it sounds like. So this has a few major areas. I'll just list them off one by one. The first is a stairwell connecting to another area and a public pool. Joey's chilling on the stairwell playing a DS. I move around for the entirety of the dream, sometimes sitting with Joey, and sometimes not. I also visit the pool, but never go in it. In the first part, N was in the pool. In the second part, they weren't. This place also had small and big rectangular holes in the stairwell for people to put their stuff. Peter was sleeping in one of those. The pool also played music, as it created waves. At one point, it played 'What Does The Fox Say?' and everyone in the pool wore fox ears. I think we had to leave or something, because everyone filed out, with the song still playing.

Before that, I was in the room next to the pool, that changed every few times I went in their. Thinking back, the stairwell reminded me of my old babysitter's basement stairwell, and the last 'form' of the common room was the Temple. I was hanging out here, and these guys were singing acapella songs. Duncan was in this group, and his mouth and face stretched a little, so he looked like a donkey, every time he tried to sing. He was trying to harmonize, but another member told him he wasn't doing it right, they were no where near each other's vocal range. Two of the members stood up, and said something about fellatio. I entered the pool at this point, when it's playing the Fox song.

I also think I saw my Dad helping KF Teacher picking people, for some reason. They were in their uniforms, as well.

They group is singing great, and it's singing 'A Thousand Years' as people are leaving. I wave goodbye to Joey before I leave.

The other setting, with N and L and their Grandmother, but I'm not sure if this came before or after. I'm pretty sure this came before. I'm going to name it N/L's Room. It had a pool, and I think a computer on either side of it. It also had a bed, and I spent most of my time there. It had white everything. The only thing I clearly remember is talking to N about the quality of chicken. She also said she was having a chicken party, and handed me a piece. She said it was too mild, and I agreed.

I don't know what happened, but then my cousin was pouring sauce on it after I had a convo with her about the chicken usually being in restaurants and having sauce, we just had take out. She poured stuff on it, and I think she was making a card or something. It spanned the bed, and it had snow covered houses, and yeah. I think I remember a game, too...

The last scene is a mall, after I left the pool. It was connected to the stairwell, I guess. A bell rang, and I guess I had to go to 6th period. I got lost, started panicking, but calmed down, and saw Jack. I walked after him, and somehow my Teach bolted past. Jack began running after him, I think he was lsot too, and I ran after them. Teach stopped running, but when he got to the escalators. he ran down. Jack tried to follow his pace, but just couldn't match. They did this a few times, before I just vaulted, off of the escalators.

Then I woke up.

3/13/2014
I took melatonin before bed last night. I had some trouble falling asleep. I woke up at 5:15 am (which is close to the normal time I wake up). I need to buy some more magnesium, which is a great sleep aid for me.

Dream 1 (Fragment): The only thing I can recall about this dream is seeing a huge bright yellow school bus. It was about twice the size of a normal school bus.

Dream 2 (lost): I was awoken in the midst of a dream by a strange scrapping noise. My wife was running her hands along the headboard of our bed. I asked her what she was doing and she said “I need to get these towels.” Then she settled down and fell back to sleep. At this point my dream was completely lost.

Dream 3 – Three Large Ladies: The first thing I remember is being in a mansion. The rooms I’m in are very large, dimly lit, full of dark wood paneling, and large old furniture. It had a slightly gothic feel. I am comfortable here like I may own this mansion. I end up in one of the bedrooms and it is full of dirty cloths. I am annoyed with this. Next I remember I am dating a very large woman (morbidly obese – I have been watching the show “My 600 Lb. Life” recently). I do own the mansion and my yard is a huge theme park. I am now outside of the mansion and I am taking my girlfriend, her daughter, and her two sisters on a gondola ride across the park. Her daughter and sisters are also morbidly obese. We are all in our own separate gondolas, only they are actually large bathtubs suspended on cables. We are all approximately 50 feet off the ground. I can see my girlfriend and remember telling her that it is perfectly safe. I believe she was worried about the weight limit on the cables. Then a strong wind came and my tub began to blow in the wind and was tipping dangerously far to my left. I feel like I might fall out. The ladies’ tubs aren’t moving because their weight is holding them safely in place. *Jump* I am in my bed. My room does not look exactly like it does in real life, but I don’t notice. I reach over to jot some notes in my dream journal, when my girlfriend is suddenly in the bed, which is suddenly enormous. I can’t see her body because it is covered with blankets, but she is shifting closer to me almost like a snake. It appears she has no limbs, her body isn’t large any more, and she is just a head sticking out from a bunch of blankets.

Spoiler for Sexual Content:

She slides up between my legs and begins to perform fellatio on me. It feels really good.

Suddenly both her sisters are also in the bed, and they are slithering toward me just like my girlfriend. I fall off the bed next to my bedside table. I am now trapped with the bed to my right, the table at my back and a wall to my left as the sisters slid off the bed onto the floor in front of me.

Spoiler for Sexual Content:

For some reason I notice a facecloth on the floor that had been previously used to “cleanup” after some earlier sexual activity which I don’t remember. I feel embarrassed and tuck it under the bedside table. One of the sister’s head slides up to my lap and she says seductively, “This is where our generosity really pays off.” She then begins to perform fellatio on me. It feels amazingly good and

I think to myself, “Wait until my buddies here this story.” I wake up.

This dream was about a worrier queen. In the early part of the dream she was not a worrier yet. There was something about her being emotionless. One of her subjects kissed her and said that he could do that because she had no emotions and this would not care. She replied "while I may have no emotions now, but I still have a brain, and know what you did was wrong."

There was another scene where the queen was lying down with two young men who apparently were musicians, and their idea of foreplay had to do with drumming on her using their drumsticks. She did not like that. Afterwards her teacher commented that she was wise because while they were good as musicians but as young men they were not.

A woman passed the queen on a stair case and felt attraction to her, and decided to approach her about it.

There was a man starting a martial arts school, and she was interested in leading it with him. He turned out to be weak in martial arts, while she was superb. So he recognized that and suggested she be the leader of the school, and he would be a student. She agreed.

Some worriers were going to hold a warriors meeting, and their leader said "All men meet in this room for a war council, while all women meet in this other room to discuss women's matters." The queen steamed with anger but joined the women. The worrier leader came to seek her out and asked "what are you doing here?" And she said "you said all women are to gathered here." He said "I did not mean you." She "you said 'all women'" He in a put upon voice "Fine, from now on I will specify 'all women except you'." She "No, you won't. Do not generalize about gender like that."

1. [Non-Lucid]
I'm in a shop looking at these thick coloured pens, I want to buy 1 so I pick a colour (I completely forgot the colour) then my dad grabs it off the shelf (I think it was in a glass tube or something) and pulls off the lid and sticks it on the opposite end then hands over the pen which is now a black coloured pen and pull the lid off then put it back on the top (I either heard it click or felt the force it took to pull off).

Fragments:
In a town that gets empty because nobody lives there.

Possible dream signs:
Dad, Pen?

BF3 simulation. i remember jumping from helicopter. i called 1800 ##. I got a foundation #. I felt bad because i was going 2 prank them

A man walks up to a wall and shouts at the guards on the other side, trying to get them to chase him somewhere. It's part of a bigger plan - but I've already seen this happen, and the plan didn't work, we need more people. So I shout to the guards too, telling them this man is a monster, send help, send backup, send everyone you've got. He turns around to look at me and is completely bewildered - he doesn't know me, he has no idea what I'm trying to do. But it works. He ends up being chased by far more people than he was expecting.

They've surrounded him, and everyone's drawn their swords. There's a small audience of people who are thinking of this as a duel, despite the difference in numbers. He's killed immediately, but I rewind time to let him try again. As I do so, I see an image of a page in a book describing this scene as though it were a story - it only describes his actions, the duel, not the part about me turning back time. He keeps being defeated, and I keep rewinding time by moments. He's the only person aside from me who's aware of what just happened, so he has the chance to adjust his actions accordingly, although that's easier said than done and he dies over and over again. But I'm giving him an infinite number of chances to succeed.

Just now he's cut the head off one of his opponents. The people watching the 'duel' exclaim over this. From his perspective that was the end of a long struggle in which he's lost far more often than he's won, but from the audience's perspective, the duel's only just started and he's completely dominating. A woman calls it horrific, the way he coldly executed his opponent. A young man who's an aspiring duelist is admiring what he calls 'the skill that comes with experience,' which amuses me, given my very different perspective on how well this fight is going.

Last night was a pretty horrible night. I had 2 dreams, one of them was more like a nightmare.

Dream 1

I was on holiday with my mother and was floating on a limo near some mediterranian islands. I decided to swim to one of them which had a town similar to a Chinese town. I was trying to find some clothes to wear and my mother was helping me. Every time she brought back someone they'd have an item of clothing with some special kind of history, like shorts that were worn by an empress. I was given a pale pink blouse and some very short elasticated denim shorts, but the shorts weren't going to fit around my thighs. "If you're a 26 then you need a 47" said my mother. The shorts had a label on them that said 27. She kept looking around until she found a pair of khaki coloured shorts and gave them to me to go put on. As she pushed me towards the public toilets she said "If anyone gets insulted that you're not wearing any pants just tell them you're about to put them on." I went to a unisex toilet which was decorated with deep blue tiles. I had a towel wrapped around my waist and was holding the shorts close to me. Some Japanese tourists looked at me with a scowl so I tried to hide my legs by pulling the towel over them. Then I suddenly noticed that the shorts were already on. I was confused to how they managed to get on and just as I was leaving the room the dream ended.

Nightmare 1

I had managed to switch off Tony's auto-cancel on the indicator, so he was driving with the car constantly indicating to go right. It was dark and raining so heavily that there was no visibility and we were on a motorway, but that didn't stop him from going at max speed. I told him to cancel the indicator several times and he was frustrated that I was nagging him every few seconds because he couldn't do more than 2 things at once and could barely see the road. I somehow managed to activate it again so that it cancelled when turning the wheel.

We began to drive up onto a long and high bridge. I noticed he was driving way too close to the edge of the 3rd lane and was going to hit the divider for the opposite direction. Before I could tell him to stop the car banged into the dividers and was tossed into the air. We were hit by a car behind us catapulting us to the opposite side of the motorway. Tony managed to swerve the car to a stop and we both got outside to assess the damage, when a truck began to head right for us. We both dived into the car fast and buckled our seatbelts, just a split second after I buckled mine in I felt the impact and everything went black.

I opened my eyes and we had been catapulted off the motorway into a small town. The rain had stopped now and although the car was broken it only looked like it had been scratched and dented a little at the front and back. Tony was looking around for a phone booth to call for help and to report and accident, but when he lifted the receiver a panel at the front showed in large number £1.40 and it kept going up by 10p. Then we saw a sign at the top say "Out of Order" so Tony hung up and went to grab his mobile instead to call for emergency services. I was more concerned about the other drivers and what may have become of them.

We then ended up in some luxury hotel and I had just gotten out of the shower and was wrapped up in a pink fleecy bath robe. A butler came to my room with a glass of what looked like whiskey and some herbal tablets to sleep. Tony had already taken his in a separate room. "Thank you, I'm going to really need this" I said groggily and downed the tablets with a mouthful of the liqcor. There was some more tablets so I popped those into my mouth and let them dissolve so if I got far too sleepy I could spit them out. Tony had already settled into a lovely plush bed on the side I usually sleep on, so I curled up with him feeling the silky satin sheets and lightly padded duvet, and I could smell the freshness of the sheets. My eyes became heavy and I started to fall asleep. Then it all went black and the dream ended.
