side notes

I was in my dads truck with two old friends( who were twins) from public school, C and P. My dad picked is up for school and we were waiting in the parking lot. My dad was talking about how often he fell down and about how much it hurt. After he said this he left.Then I said "it's just like cutting yourself without knowing". I told a story about how I lifted up my pant leg to find blood because I fell on my knee. C was not interested in my mundane stories at all and she left. P drove up to a better parking spot. We got out cause school was going to start and I distinctly remember there was a taxi parked in front if us. We walked in the mall because that's where the school was[by the way I am really getting sick of dreaming about malls I don't even like shopping anymore or going to malls ugh]. Anyways we get inside and it is crowded. A girl who is P's friend comes up to talk to us. This next part is a sequence of events that has happened many times it feels.I walk up the escalator to science class. Another old friend,O is there she pulls at the curtain and the teacher opens the big glass doors. I rush in and greet O, grab her hands, then a song comes on and we dance. Our dance supplies the floor below us with electricity. The song is always Get Down Tonight by KC and the Sunshine Band. Well on this occasion O jokingly roles her eyes when she sees me and give me a look like" here we go again" and I think think this is so funny. We still do the dance but when I get to the floor I wake up and I am smiling. This was a fantastic way to wake up xD

Extremely long and detailed recall for the most mundane pair of dreams imaginable: cooling my heels in a lobby while waiting to speak to someone currently in a meeting (getting a drink of water, idly eavesdropping on the couple who came in towards the end, considering getting out my phone just to have something to look at, looking at the clocks - which displayed two different times, that's something at least), and then one about a drive with IRL family & friends (looking for a place to park so we could switch drivers, fetching tissues out of the luggage for L.S. who had a cold, shuffling our belongings so that one bag could be used for trash) ...just overwhelmingly mundane and in long and excruciating detail.

Normally I don't bother to digitally record dreams that bore me, but these were so boring as to be remarkable for it. I'd prefer nightmares.

I should do more, I guess - but here one dream, I really liked a lot:

I grew up (mostly) in a village at a lake in the Alps.
It is one of my most persistent dream-signs - the whole setting - esp. our old house - but I didn't realize, I was dreaming there again.
So anyway - I wanted to go swimming - but at the lake were tourists everywhere and the water was less than crystal clear and I was disappointed.
But then somebody told me, there would be a lake prior to the big one - directly in the mountains - close to the wells.
There are such small lakes - but the one I dreamt doesn't exist.
Soo beautiful - surrounded by a bit of meadow, which was a clearing in a beautiful forest - and I went swimming and it was really joyful - a great dream.
Swimming I also often do in dreams - and not irl lately - should go to a public swimming pool maybe - I need a bit of workout - always liked swimming.

There is another motive, which keeps returning - me searching a (new) place to live. This was just for staying close there.
So I looked around and found a rock with a hollowness - it was rather small for a house-rock - maybe 4 meters high and as broad - free standing.
With a cleft to crawl through - but inside was a cosy room, which I decorated a bit and put in my mattress and there I had my secret vacation-home in the rock.
I even had a fire-place and there was a hole to the upside of the rock for the smoke to evade through.

Bit later - other people arrived - I kept my rock secret - but the people were nice - and it was clear to me then, that the ones finding that lake were somehow special, interesting people - so I went swimming and talked with some of them - they called it the Ring-Lake - and I wrongly dream-remembered*, that that was indeed the name (I know a part of the original lake, which is called so - but it is just a natural bay irl).

Later a friend of mine showed up and took me with her to a "lake-party" at the big lake - these do also exist and take place every summer.
We got ourselves beer - and I got x-mas cookies (I love them - best sweets in the world if home-baked - esp. the ones my mother in law bakes) but I didn't find/get at my money in my back-pack - so she paid.
Next motive - me searching my - often a lot of - luggage for something and getting frustrated.
Then we watched a theatre-show for children - on very small stools and almost the only audience. The piece had a witch, who looked like these over-enthused esoteric around 50 years old women, I met a lot of through my mother - we deemed her un-impressive and went on.
Then there sat a former boyfriend of mine - and I wanted to talk to him - but he seemingly not with me.
And I also had problems speaking - but tried hard - and woke up from that.
Very unfortunate - because I was starting to suspect something, when I couldn't speak properly - dream time was through then I guess.


Fazit: Incubate your friggin' dream-signs!! And don't just tell yourself - if I see - then I dream - just posted a failure stemming from such under facepalm - but rather mantra myself into doing RCs, if I see/experience xyz.

This dream had almost an overload of dream-signs:

Geographical setting around lake I grew up close to
Looking and finding a place to move in for living
Swimming
Searching luggage and getting frustrated
Ex-boyfriend
Not being able to speak

Six of them in one dream - and I stayed happily non-lucid.

Made a mistake with my alarms - the app needs to be open, for them to go off - I noted, it was not - but my dictation-thing, when I woke up naturally quite late.
Was awake for the next one still then - and the one after that woke me up - and I tried it out as a micro-WBTB with mantra - in the end I fell asleep to a non-lucid.

Buuut: before that was a short phase of - very short - disappeared once I got a bit excited about it - HH!!
And pretty strong ones - bit of vibration and a strong feeling of weightlessness - but at the same time movement - swerving about - even falling.
That was the second time of my life, I had strong bodily HH - any HH, actually - first one was after a longer WBTB and 2 min. of just looking at the back of my eyelids on a WILD try - on my second ever WILD try!!

And such I made a lot of tries the last two months up to half an hour - never again with HH or success in WILD (but quite often with a following DILD).
I guess, I need them some more times, before I can avoid getting so positively excited about it..
This is progress towards WILD, though - and makes me very happy indeed!

It was not on my back but in my usual position on my stomach and turned to the right.
Will copy this over to my workbooks and in the alarm thread also.






*that's a phenomenon, I am interested in..

The first dream i had i was a monk. i wasn't able to write it down until i got to work so it might be a bit fuzzy. There is also something i would like to discuss at the end.

I was some kind of monk staying at a monastery. The Monastery was pretty low key, just a standard temple. However, there was a giant statue of Buddha in the middle of our monastery. The statue had to have been as tall as a skyscraper. The inside of the statue was hollow though, and it was a maze of caves, with hardly an light. Myself and two other monks thought it would be a good idea to explore the caves. We went inside for a bit and got lost. I ended up getting separated from them, but managed to find my way out. When i got out, there was two men in suites talking to the Abbot near the base of the statue. The Abbot was listening intently to what the men where saying...something about me joining them. I remember being upset by this, i did not want to leave the monastery, but i didn't say anything about it because i was too focused on telling the Abbot what had happened. I ran to the abott and told him what happened. I was expecting him to be very upset, and get angry with me, but he just smiled softly and said,

"i suppose we should go find them hmm."

The abbot and myself began running up the walkway to get into the Buddha with the two men in suites following us.I was not able to keep up with the Abbot and eventually lost him. The two men in suites also seemed to have disappeared. I remembered my monk training and remained calm and didn't freak out that i was lost and alone. The caves where very dark, and i couldn't really see, but i remained calm. I eventually saw some natural light, so instinctively i headed towards it. It had turned out to be a small room (or as much of a room as it could be considering it was a cave) with a small opening. The opening was just big enough for my arm to fit through, so i stuck it through and waved it around for a bit hoping somebody would see it and be able to help me. After a minute of silly flailing i removed my arm from the hole and instead put my eye up to. I peered out and realize i was too high up and that no one would even notice me. (the people where like Ants). I the decided to sit down and try to figure something out based on all the knowledge i had gained from the hole. I had figured that i was probably in Buddha's ear, so i should head downwards to try and get out, as that seemed logical. I sat for a little more, just resting with no thoughts in particular. I awoke while sitting there.

Now, the thing i wanted t odiscuss is that this dream has alot of similarities to other dreams. Yet again, dreams are either showing continuity in either story lines, or the same things happen in different ways. For example, in this dream i enter a dark cave and cannot keep up with the "leader". That happened in a nightmare that you can read somewhere below. Second, the men in suites trying to recruit me. I had a dream the other night (i didn't write it down because i was being lazy) that a man came to my apartment and tried to recruit me. I had at first accepted, but when i found out what he wanted me to do i refused and ran away from him. After i fled him i had run back to my apartment and it was burned down. Some other stuff happened in the dream but i ended up going to a superhero squad (yeah, lol) for help. As i was on my way out the door, one of the superhero's looked to me and said, "hey, you know-" but before he could finish i said "thanks but no thanks. i already have more than enough offers of people wanting me to join them." I think it was important because not only does it show that i was paying attention to what had happened earlier in the dream, but it also goes back to my other dream where a cop tries to recruit me. This would be the 3rd dream in almost 3 straight days where i am being recruited. I'm not sure what this person/things wants, but i believe it is not good and it has to stop invading my dreams...


For the next dream, it was actually quite warming and comforting, and very mellow.

It was winter time on a lake. The lake was large, surrounded soft shorlines that led into woods or shorelines that broke off into valley. The lake was half frozen and the surrounding land was covered in snow. The dream started off with me viewing a small group of animals swimming towards the shore. I was not actually looking with my own eyes, it was like watching a documentary. It was an assortment of animals. Ranging from cats, pigs, turtles and other random assorted creatures. Then, i finally "spawned" in the dream (and i was viewing it from my own eyes thankfully.) I was standing where the animals had come ashore and scattered off. They where long gone by the time i spawned and their footprints where pretty much faded. However, there was a small cat left there crying. I petted and comforted the cat and it stopped crying. It began snowing, so i started making a shelter. What happened next was a sort of time line, if you will. images of me
playing with the cat through the seasons, the cat getting bigger and older, and myself as well. The shelter growing fro ma simple shack into a full blow log cabin, growing in complexity. The cat and i where best friends. the dream ended with the cat and i sitting lazily atop hill off to the west of the lake, on a
warm sunny day....


Looking back at the dream, i realized the cat was orange, the same color as my old friend "kitty". It's strange, because i met kitty in an extremely similar fashion. I had found kitty in a graveyard, jsut a little kitten, alone scared and sad. I brought kitty back with me to my house, and kept him on my stomach for hours jsut petting him and telling him it was okay. Eventualyl he stopped shaking and crying and curled up and slept. Since then, kitty was my best friend. He grew up with me jsut as i did, and he only ever answered to me. He would cry at my door until i let him in. He would always cuddle on my lap when i watched tv, no matter how big he got. (he got pretty big at the end of his life). If he was across the yard playing, i would only have to call him once and he would come sprinting full force to my side. Kitty was the beset cat, and even better friend. I like to think that dream was Kitty just paying me a visit, and reminding me of some of the good times, and the important things in life.


This last dream isn't really a dream. It's a false awakening, but i thought it was really funny so i wanted to share it.

I get to work extremely early, (like an hour, sometimes earlier than that) and considering the over time is not allowed right now, i had nothing to do so i decided to take a nap in the conference room.. I had a false awakening where i woke up in the conference room, but i was late because it was the buzzer that woke me up. For some reason, in this dream i had 3 large boxes of pennies and dimes. I had jumped up at the sound of the buzzer and knocked the boxes all over the floor. I began scrambling, trying to pick them up, so i could clock in on time. While picking them up, i thought to myself "Wait, why the hell do i have all these coins and why did i bring them to work?" I then woke up for real in the conference room....10 minutes before the buzzer

It was kinda dis-orientating....

This is going to be short because I forgot to write it down AGAIN!! ugh I am very disappointed with my self.

I was a police officer with others who had authority and we had to work together to complete a task. But my dad was drunk so he couldn't do it properly and it was very frustrating.

Two famous basketball players( I don't even like or watch basketball so I don't know who they could be) were raising money for charity. There were dogs and I ended up playing with the dogs with them.

I got lucid tonight. The lucid dream itself was decent. I flew a bit, and I tried telekinesis, but with no luck. I find it sooo hard to actually do telekinesis.... Next time I'm gonna try a different technique.
The interesting thing about my lucid this night, was not the lucid dream itself, it was the way I got the lucid. I was in a dream, and I forced myself to wake up. When I woke up, I didn't bother to RC or open my eyes or move, I just imagined a dream scenario in front of me, and the image slowly got clearer and clearer, and boom. I was in a dream, lucid and all. Maybe I will try this DEILD technique again tonight if I have the energy.

Non-Dream
Dream
Lucid

I recently had the longest dry spell I've had in a while. I think it lasted over a week. There was even a few days where I couldn't remember any dreams at all! So, I had to start all over from the beginning. First I had to figure out how to fall asleep which is the first step of lucid dreaming for me. I remembered, to fall asleep its best that I simply focus on relaxing my body and my mind. Once I figured out again how to fall asleep, my recall jumped back up to 3-5 dreams a night. With my recall back, I had to figure out how to become lucid. I went back to autosuggestion as my technique, telling myself before sleeping that I would simply try my best during the night to become lucid. If I become lucid, great! If I don't, I tried my best.

Then, one dream, I was on a golf course in the hills. I was at the tee of a spectacular hole. A dogleg right par 5 with huge waterfalls beyond the hole. I flew to the corner of the dogleg to see the green several hundred feet below next to the ocean at sea level. I woke up, and while thinking about the dream, I suddenly found myself back in the dream and became lucid. I jumped off the cliff and flew to the left to find some flat land. I told myself I was going to let myself land. I hit the ground on my feet and skidded a bit on the gravelly ground before stopping. Then, I uncontrollably started to float in the air but again told myself I'm going to let myself fall down and land. I remembered my goal of getting a girl to kiss me. I looked around and saw several DCs walking around. I found a middle aged woman with dark hair. I asked her to give me a hug and she gave me a hug. I asked her to give me a kiss and she kissed me on the cheek. Then, I put my hand behind my back and called for my crush. There she was, short with medium length blond hair. She looked 20 years older but, whatever. Immediately I felt her hand and turned around. I asked her to give me a kiss and she kissed me on the cheek. Then, I asked for another kiss. She questioned this but gave me another kiss on the cheek. Then, we gave each other a few kisses on the lips. Satisfied, I left and walked around a bit, having no goal in mind. I danced a short tango with a very short DC before deciding I was done with the dream and woke up.

This was the most satisfying lucid I've had in a while. I had been either waking up before I could get to the girl or had been getting refused by the girls. But, now I feel I'm back on track and am ready to have some good fun again.

Background: I am writing this because I read that you should always write something in your dream journal. Well I went to bed after a 15 min meditation. I felt good afterwards. I went to sleep like always, but this time I tried to remember my last thought. Normally when I do the incubation I fail because my mind goes all over the place and my last thought is not about lucid dreaming. I didn't remember my last thought though. I woke up and moved around unconsciously. I tried to remember my dream, but nothing came to me. I waited and waited still nothing so I went to bathroom. I didn't let that get to me, so I did a 10 min meditation. I tried to go to sleep, I didn't feel like sleeping. So, I left and started reading Stephan LaBerg's book. I became too excited to sleep, so I stayed up. (from 8:30pm-3:00am)

Journal Entry non-lucid #9 Dream, non-dream (Comments)
Background: I meditated for 15 min and went to sleep around 9:40am. I did one reality check before meditation.

Dream fragment 1 from 9:40am-11:51am" A suspicious Reality Check": I was eating some cracker with some people in my room. I am very strict about my room so I was telling them not to leave any crumbs. I then left them. I was with my dad, I did a quick reality check. I looked at my hands. I tried to feel my surrounding and it felt like a dream. The reality check failed though. I looked at my dad suspiciously and I said, "I swear it should have worked". He looked at me odd so I didn't pursue my thoughts.

Dream fragment 2 from 9:40am-11:51am " Four Girls in the Boys' Locker Room": I walked into my old school locker room for P.E. I had half a doughnut with me. It was caramel and it tasted very good. This guy looked at it and he wanted some of it. I didn't want to share it because I felt hungry and ate it. I turned to go to my locker and I saw of friend of mine. He was bent over next to the bench and beside him on the floor was another guy. My friend was rocking back and forth, like a crazy person. I was like what is going on. I shook it off and when I was about to open locker he threw something at me. I said kind of irritated, "What's wrong with you?" He then made a joke about Africans. He said,"do you know what they do to conserve energy because they have no food, they don't even blink." I ignored him and was about to attend to my locker. Four Asian girls walk in the boys locker room, and no they were not hot what so ever. They were trying to take their cloths out of their locker and were speaking in some Asian language. I got mad and started mumbling things at them. They laughed and left. I looked at one of them and I remembered her face. I thought it was odd since I didn't see this classmate in a long time, I said,"Anna!?" The last girl turned around. Her face changed, I didn't recognize it though. She was now a hot brunette with glasses. I asked her,"were you in my middle school class?" I thought about the name, and told her the name. She responded with a no. I asked in suspicion, "Your name is Anna though?" she said yes. I took some time to think about the oddity of the coincidence.

Dream fragment 3 from 9:40am-11:51am " Chemical": I was looking for some chemical. I found it but this girl in a bikini wanted the chemical. She walks away with it and I followed her. I think I looked at something that she owned that said dream yoga. So, I said you don't know dream yoga. She then proceeded to go backwards and do some gymnastic thing. I didn't want her to spill the chemical so I didn't question the fact that what she did had nothing to do with dream yoga. She then jumped in the pool with the chemical. I told at first in a relaxed tone to come out because the chemical is spilling. I assumed the whole thing didn't come out because it was powder and sometimes powder can act like a solid when compacted together. I then started yelling at her to come out. She came out but left the chemical in the pool. She was just standing there expecting me to go get it. I looked at what I was wearing, which I never do it a dream. I had some cargo shorts and shoes on. I didn't want to go in the water so I grabbed a stick. The environment was drastically changing. At first a normal swimming pool then it changed into a more chaotic kind of like a swimming pool blended with a pond. Then it changed into a small river. This old man showed up and said you kids are too lazy to get a stick. He tried to get it with a stick. I got a bigger stick and tried to get the chemical which was surrounded by corals and ocean stuff.

I've been dreaming a lot lately, just haven't gotten around to recording much on DV. There is always that little hesitance I get when I have a bunch of recordings of dreams I've spoken to my .mp3 player throughout the night, then I have to go type them all out. I have however had at least 3 lucid dreams since I last posted and things are going quite well. I really wish someone would invent something that records your dreams as a video or something so there isn't the issue of typing out your recordings anymore. Oh well, things are still going quite well

The new meditation using focused breathing( Buddhist) focus on upper lip....
well its going good. 15 minutes passes pretty fast. Now I'm supposed to add 10 more minutes, but every time I get to about 20 minutes, I start to go into hypnogogic stage like normally happens when I am actually trying to AT. It seems almost like a side effect of this new meditation or maybe its too similar to the method I used to use for AT? Idle. Anyway I think its time to try a new meditation as I do not want to AP at this time. Trying to get to 1 hour 2x a day of meditation.

i was at some kind of bar or something with my friend from work. we where not really drinking, just kind of bored and hanging out. nothing really happened at this bar. The bar was kind of loud, jsut a bunch of mumbles and blurred speech, i wasn't really trying to listen to anyone anyways. I don't remeber what happened. I "woke up" on the floor in my old room at the house i grew up in, with my friend standing over me. i asked him what happened and he just kind of chuckled and said i don't know. My friend was all showered and wide awake, ready to go for the day, while i was waking up off of my bedroom floor trying to "wake up". eventually we went downstairs in the kitchen and where just hanging around, trying to figure out something to do. My friend from work started playing with my cats (cats that i had in my childhood). he was using one of those strings that dangle off of the end of a stick, making the chase it all around. eventually he was making the cat jump into me, and it was really funny. It was soffy, i couldn't stop laughing. My cats jumping into my knees and my lap while i'm sitting on the chair, trying to catch them. I was jsut really happy at that moment, truly content. Eventually we stopped playing with the cats and my friend told me he was going to go to subway for breakfast. i told him i would shower and then meet him there.

end



This dream takes place at my current apartment.

I was just sitting in my apartment hanging out when i heard someone come on my porch and knock on my door. It was nighttime and dark out, but it wasn't too late at night. maybe 9 or 10 o clock. anyways because of the time i was wondering who the heck would be knocking on my door, along with the fact that i don't know anybody in this town. I turned on the porch light, opened the door and went outside. The person standing there was a short kind of chunky, nerdy wigger kid who was probably 19 or 20. He had glasses, and i could tell he just a little 'off'. He blinked abnormally and talked in a strange voice. He dressed like a wigger, but i could tell that wasn't him at all. He was just trying to fit in. This kid was a nerd. (not that nerds are bad, i'm a nerd too!) I noticed there was a bike on my lawn, i was assuming it was his. I asked him what i could do for him, and he said, "i was wondering if you need a tank.". This really threw me off. I knew he wasn't talking about a real tank, and being a fan of RPG's i immediatly thought of a 'tanking' type of character. This confused me because we clearly don't have RPG roles in real life, and i had no need for someone to 'absorb punches' because there was no one i had to fight. i asked him "what do you mean? I'm not fighting anyone, i don't need a tank. And we aren't playing any kid of games." He just asked the question again, and i responded with the same thing. I asked him what does he mean, that i'm really confused and i don't know what he's talking about. he just says, "yeah, but like...i'm gonna be the tank." I sigh, and look across the street. He blinks furiously a couple of times and adjust his glasses. There is a gas station there across the street, with a convience store. (in real life, there is just a house across the street.) I sigh one more time and begin walking to the gas station. The kid follows me, but i wasn't bothered by him. I was expecting to follow me, and that's fine. The kid waited outside while i purchased a mountain dew. I took the time away from him to collect my thoughts.

"what the hell does this kid mean? i want to help him but i just don't understand what he wants. The poor kid is probably just lonely and wants someone to hang out with. I bet he gets made fun of alot. and was this gas station always here? i'm pretty sure it wasn't. wow this mountain dew taste good. Why am i drinking this, this stuff is awful for you."

I throw my thoughts to the side as i step outside. I begin crossing the street back towards my house, casually sipping my mountain dew. We get back on my porch steps and sit in a comfortable silence. Suddenly, two ghetto/gangster kids come walking down the street from the left side, where the gas station is. They take a look at us, and begin crossing the street towards us. I could tell these two where the real deal, unlike my goofy little friend over here. I can only remember what one of them looked like, one was short and stubby like the nerdy tank kid, while the other one was tall, sort of filled out in terms of body. he had a dark milano skin color, short black hair and a trimmed beard/goatee combo. He wore baggy jeans, with black boots, a white and block colored hoody with the hood half hanging off of his head. I've never had good expierences with these kind of rapper ghetto people, or whatever you want to call them. I prepare myself mentally for a fight, these people tend to anger quickly when i call them out on their stupidity. They both stop at my bottom step and look at us for a minute before the tall milano one begins speaking.

"Ayo` girl what u doin' with dis fag u gonna ditch that kid come wit' me, u know wut um sayin gurl. Join up me nd me crew u know wut im sayin gurl. You cummin wit us gurl."

I shake my head and sigh, i don't want to deal with these clowns right now. I notice the nerdy tank kid is not next to me, i turn towards the front lawn and see he is looking around his bike for something. I pay no more attention to him as he's probably safer over there anyways. I open my mouth to begin telling these kids off, when a car pulls into my driveway. It's a light brown, almost like a coffee colored car. It's and old 70's detective kind of car. Sure enough, a middle aged man in his 40's gets out of the car. He's wearing a button up white t shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and the top button un-buttoned. around his neck hangs a police badge. he's wearing kaki pants with black shoes. His hair is short and black, gelled backwards. Clean face, no mustache. He begins walking towards me and all i can' think to myself is

"oh great here we go. now the cop is going to think i'm mixed up with these 2 gansters, and that poor nerdy wigger kid who just wants to be a tank will get caught up in it too."

I notice now that the 2 ganster kids are gone and the cop is sitting next to me on the stairs. He's holding 2 cell phones. They look really really old, like models you would have seen in the 90's. He ask me about them and i say one of them is probably my friends. I turn towards my yard and notice the nerdy wigger kid is gone. I look at the other phone the detective is holding and realize it's mine. I snatch both of them out of his hand fast and them in my pockets in one fluid motion. He just kind of looks me dumbstruck with his jaw ganging down, with his arms still sitting there as if he was holding the phone.

I say to him without looking, "I don't consent to any searches. Now what is it i can help you with?"

I caught him off guard. He closes his mouth shakes his head and begins speaking, "I want you to tell me everything you know about those 2 kids that where just here. They are in a gang you know. I know they wanted you to go with them...so i have an idea. YOU work for ME and you go undercover into that gang, and we'll take em down together. sound like a plan, yeah?"

I had to really give this some though. You know, i don't really like trouble, i like to just live peacefully in solitude, enjoying my time. But, on the other hand, i'd love to take down a gang. To clean up the streets would truly be a wondrous thing. I really had to give this one some though, and so i turned towards the detective and told him just that.

he responded with, "good good. Here, take my card. call me when you are ready, and we'll get right down to buisness."

He jumped to his feet and walked down the stairs happily while i just watched him leave in silence. He smiled and waved once before jumping into the driver seat and taking off. (why didn't he have to start his car?) I sit there for a moment, trying to figure out what the hell just happened. Nobody ever bothers me at my apartment, this truly was a strange night. I shrug my shoudlers and head back inside, locking the door behind me.

Welp. Looks like i might need a tank after all.

1. [Non-Lucid] [Vivid]
I'm in a place, there's a lot furniture scattered about (kinda like a storage warehouse) then appears a scared and possibly angry deer, my step-dad Neil is here and is trying to help the deer get out of this place - I am too scared of getting hurt to go near it and help D:. I see the deer approaching so I retreat upon this rather old fashioned rose red padded material chair with wooden arms, then randomly a kid talks to me.

Now we are in our house in the kitchen/dining room with the deer, Neil falls over in a rather bad way and hits his head on the wooden laminate flooring...all goes quiet, then Neil says something and he keeps repeating this word over and over again as if he had some sort of concussion or brain damage, hes not moving and hasn't gotten up - my uncle david has been behind me the whole time it seems, he decides its time for him to go upstairs and wash his hair.

I go into my room and dial 999 into my mobile and 2 options pop up on the screen both of which are not what I needed plus the interface goes all weird...I tried dialing for a second time and paramedic is now on the list so I hit that which I assume sent them a text message or something.

I go back into the dining room and find my cousin Matt sat on the sofa across from Neil, I approach him and he has my mothers hair (this freaked me out a little), I asked..."where is Neil?"...Matt replied "I have hidden him"...I asked where then saw a pile of random Tupperware boxes in a pile where Neil is laying.

Neil gets up (the Tupperware is gone) and I see his skull on the top of his head with blood on it then it was gone replaced with hair and skin as if it was never there. I told him I called the paramedic and he got angry while wobbling all over the place as he is kinda unstable, I here a vehicle park outside, it is an ambulance.

Now me and my Uncle and I are in the ambulance with Neil, Me and David decide to leave so we climb over onto the front seat trying to not hit the pedals and open the front door, for some reason this ambulance is very tall so we had to climb down a rope to the ground to get out.

A shallow river I had to cross.

I had a lucid last night I don't remember the vast majority of the dream. I only recall a few key factors. One was I non-lucidly driving somewhere. I remember the speed limit was 50, but I was going about 25 because the entire road was covered in ice. I soon lost control and spun out multiple times.

The next part I remember is actually becoming lucid. I was talking to someone or perhaps myself, can't quite remember. I mentioned the word dream in a sentence and became lucid. I then flew through the ceiling and investigated the area and thought about what I could do. I don't remember anything else from there very clearly.

I got lucid this night again. The way I happened was really smooth and easy. And I guess it seems like it was a DEILD. I'll explain.

I had a pretty nice dream at first.it was about parkour and relationships with girls and a dog. I suddenly felt like I was about to wake up from the dream. I could feel me real body I my bed. I could feel the sheet of my bed, and the covers. I'd idnt panic, I tried to stay in the dream. Or maybe not stay in the dream, I kinda just went with what my mind wanted to do. It went like this.

I was standing outside with a little crowd pele from my dream. There was a dog, who later in that dream had been a girl, my brother, and some other arkose guys. The crowd of people got bigger, and suddenly there were a couple of hundred people. I felt someone grabbing my arm and pulling me away from the crowd. I heard a loud voice say from a microphone, that I was gonna go see Ellen From The Ellen show. I felt like waking up. Being half asleep and half awake (I immediately recognized this feeling), I tried to relax and STAY in the dream. While still feeling my real body in my bed I forced myself to think about the plot of the dream. I imagined me being dragged away to see Ellen, and I kept doing that, until my thoughts got clear. The scene of me trying to find Ellen, got suuuuuper clear, and i could no longer feel my real body. I got lucid instantly, and did a RC just to make sure. I was in a room with Ellen, I turned around and the next thing I knew, she was gone. Well, I went out of the room and went through an open window. There were loads of snow outside, and the dream characters were all dressed in Santa clothes. I didn't mind any of them. I flew onto a small rooftop to get a overview, all whilst think what to do. I tried to remember what goals I had set in real life for my next lucid.i couldn't remember. I saw a dream character fly around with a big red umbrella. I suddenly remembered that I wanted to grow wings and fly only using them. I ripped my jacket and shirt of, and tried to grow wings. I remember bending myself forward and looking to my self side, at my shadow on the ground. I could see big wings grow from my back.
Boom, my alarm clock went of and I woke up.. Nice! I remembered some of my goal. Next time is telekinesis and manipulating matter!

1. [Non-Lucid] [Vivid]
I'm at my old secondary school in the corridor looking in at the lift room through the safety glass, I see an old friend, Laura from College (she notices me and seems pleased to see me, I tried not to acknowledge her for some reason) the lift opens and she doesn't want to enter as she doesn't like being alone.

Now I'm in the lift with 3 others 1 of which is an old teacher of mine, The lift start to ascend and it won't stop it just keeps going, it stops at floor 7 (theirs only 3 floors...) then all of a sudden the lift plummets to the ground {I felt like, just for a second, that I was floating, it was so tranquil, so pleasant}, it hits the ground floor, I was the only survivor out of the 4 of us, the lift then ascends for a 2nd time.


2. [Non-Lucid] [Less-Vivid]
Walking down a corridor, there are doors at the end with a small group of people behind them, I open the door and enter, I then go through a door to my right, it leads to a 2 story tall room with a metal walkway leading around the room to the floor, I skip it by jumping over the railing, I go through a door into the next room, theirs like a dance floor in the middle, i meet a guy and he asks what I got so I showed him this card, It was to buy the game Twisted Metal I think, anyway this made me and him quite happy.

Now I'm freaking out as I noticed I have somehow forgotten my laptop, now I can't Skype my friend and will end up incredibly lonely lol, I then remember I bought my Phone so grabbed it.

I notice a guy sitting at a PC desk with a big black screen.
