side notes

note: forgot to put this one in yesterday so i'll be making two entries today

Actually one of the better vacation dreams i've had in a while. i was somewhere with rocky and tomorrow we wre gonig to go to london. we met up with mom and nana and thomas at this little restaurant and thomas was bieng fusy acting lik had forgotten where i came from just because i was enjoying myself. i could see ufc fighgts happening on the tv.

i remember i had some type fo delivious fish dish and rocky had one too . he dropped a piece and some old clearning lady picked it up and ate it.

2nd dream: i was a new producer for a television network and to test me, I was being given my first big assignment: Choose from a list of shows which one to make and cancel one in order to have room for it.
My two top contenders were a show about Deadpool (the comic book character) and a family sitcom that my brother was a cast member for (even though he's not an actor in real life) Even though it would be a dream come true to do a comic book character, I really wanted to help my brother get a break and I figured comedy was more up my alley so I chose the comedy
for it to make it to air, I had to cancel something though and I decided to cancel a show about a baseball player (though it was sort of implied that I was deciding that the network would simply not show baseball games anymore--i'm not sure) either way I had to tell this guy in a baseball outfit myself and he didn't take it very well.

No, Adam Ant didn't pop up.

I had a lot of dreams this day and perhaps I'll remember a great many of them! These aren't necessarily all in the order they happened, Though I do recall the Love Bug one was before the Thief one and the Flounder one before those two.

___

> (Not sure about this one) I may have been driving and then I thought of "Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude" (Which is a video game I never played) As I was on a road that curved to the left.

___

> In a city or town and I recall something about a theatre

___

> Flounder from The Little Mermaid was under the sea and so was I (In thought), Then Flounder was in seaweed and then something I'm not posting here happened.

___

> In a boat that I had to defend from people gunning us from an airplane, But my guns were inside the ship and I was shooting the ship instead of shooting at the plane. I then went in an elevator down lower into the ship with someone else and was hoping I wouldn't go into a flooded part of the ship.

___

> Then, It was like Who Framed Roger Rabbit and The Three Stooges met The Love Bug in Winter. I saw a Love Bug that was like the cartoon car in the Roger Rabbit movie on the interior, Somewhat (The "THIS LEVER, STUPID" Sign was in there) and several characters including Jessica Rabbit were holding on to the rear of the car and were standing on the bumper as it drove through a snowy area and then they fell off as they drove around my house by the front porch; There wasn't a fence so the car had room to drive. Someone got off the car and ran near the porch as someone was talking to him - This may have been Me or Curly who was running. At some point my mother said "That's funny" As this was a movie or short movie I was watching, At least at one point.

___

> Later, I was in a city and drove to a place I may have thought was a movie theatre. I passed it and had to make a U-turn in a place where it was legal to go back, Then I went in to the garage by driving my car in and it was actually a place in which people just wanted to steal my money and credit cards and cell phone and what possessions the girlfriend in my dream (Who was blond, Had short hair and resembled the woman involved in the lawsuit in the movie Liar Liar) So, I put the windows down in the 1985 Jaguar XJ6 (For some reason I saw from the back seat as the driver's side windows went down) And I started to just throw my money out the window. I didn't give my credit cards or cell phone as I hesitated and didn't want to give them (Though I should give them if I have a dream like this again) and at one point I brought out some reproduction money (And the color yellow comes to mind here) in a stack and asked if they wanted it, One man who was a bit tall and perhaps muscular and also blond with short hair and without a beard or mustache or glasses in a blue shirt said "Naw" (Note; The interior of this garage resembled a garage I know) And I put the reproduction money in the center console in the car while saying something like "Yeah, It's reproduction money." I then got a receipt for the transaction (Do thieves print receipts?) And it said how much money I gave as opposed to how much money they would've billed me, Perhaps only if they weren't thieves? Anyway, The price would've been $18.90 or so and what was given was $72.50 - This may have included what my girlfriend gave which was her entire wallet, Despite the fact she was wearing something that resembled leopard spots. Then I put the car in drive and began to go forward and the door in front of me raised up to show another car in there, So I asked how to get out and I reversed. I saw a bald caucasian man sitting nearby. I then went out a door on the front of the building on the right instead of the left one I entered, Passed a red Caravan which was parked but i think was on and waved to Larry who owned the thieving place and who was walking near the van - He had dark hair and a short beard and mustache and a blue long-sleeved shirt and no glasses and short hair and perhaps had darker skin than I have so maybe he was Mexican - And I paused but then said "Nice seeing you, Larry! See ya!" And I think he waved before I drove away. (Note - At this point I'm not sure I was entirely in a "car" that wasn't transparent.)

Then I was in something resembling a particular Walmart parking lot and I was on a skateboard, Getting rather good at it compared to how I was (I could turn fairly easily and thought I'd be able to learn, Too) And I saw a few people nearby, One who was an old woman and then the asphalt was grass and I met another guy on a skateboard; He was wearing a hat, I think, And was wearing red and didn't have a beard or mustache or glasses and had short hair too and I started talking about food with him. I talked to him and we may have started talking about our journeys, I mentioned three types of food and then french fries and I think he was salivating then.

______

For some reason this morning while I was AFK from typing this, I was thinking of D. Boon of the Minutemen (A band.) Perhaps he has to do with a dream?

The last dream I wrote down was the last; I was awake in-between some of the dreams I wrote and that's one of them.

The name "Larry" In this DJ recurred thrice, I think; First there's Leisure Suit Larry then there's Larry from The Three Stooges who comes to mind but I don't think I saw, And then there's Larry the Thief.

Another note: I suggest for you DJ writers to write a draft for online-posting down in a Notepad document while saving it at points and then copy it on here. That way, If you also keep a log on your computer you can remove things from the online post if you wish to instead of adding details you wish to keep offline to the offline post.

On a quick starting note I want to register the different approach I will be taking to my DJ. I wanted it to be about the cool adventures and accomplishments I end up having in my lucids making for a mostly entertaining reading experience, because of that I haven't been recording most of my lucids. From now on, every lucid I have will eventually be here, unless of course it involves something I'm not comfortable sharing.

Moving on

30/07/2013 - DILD

I was walking with another guy who like me was a shapeshifter, we were aware of a group of men following us and we decided to make a run for it. They catched up to us and grabbed the guy that was with me, he could shift into a wolf and they wanted him to run with them (similar to the concept of shifters in True Blood), they were bad news and we didn't want nothing to do with them so I told him to escape first, I would divert them and when it was time for me to go I would use my ability to loose them.

I ran but they easily catched up to me everytime. At some point I faked falling and even let out a little scream to make my point more convincing. When they got down on the ground to pick me up and make their capture I quickly ran away thinking about how I would make my shift happen. I just remembered "If I stay calm, have no doubt and just move accordingly I will shift easily". In a fraction of a second I took a little jump into the air and instantly shifted into an owl, from running to flying, no breaks.



I landed on the top of a building of the pretty village I was in. Due to the nature of events, I was lucid. The scenary around me had a very blue feeling and appearence to it, mostly due to all the rooftops of the many houses around being that colour. There wasn't a single soul to be seen on the streets (get it?).

I decided to stabilize. I looked at my hands throughly, they looked mostly normal and along with the scenario they increased in detail and vividness as I inspected them. While I did this I was making affirmations like "Clarity now. I anchor myself to lucidity and the dream". I was satisfied with the feel and added details of the dream but I suddently started to feel like some "wind-like" force was shaking me a little bit back and forth on the top of the building, since it wasn't really windy I wondered what that could be. I would soon find out since... It was precisely 5:30 am and my alarm was waking me up to go to work.

Sweet dreams!

I'm trying to use the following lucid induction video:



The video uses isochronic tones. The first part is meant to lull you into a deep sleep withthe isochronic version of delta binaural beats, eventually transitioning into a theta frequency. About 65 min. in, voices start saying, "This is a dream," "Perform a reality check," etc.

My first time around, I think lost conciousness for a moment, then started hearing noises. I remember hearing a dog barking, a door slamming, and footsteps. I performed a reality check, but I was fully concious. I'm unsure whether these sounds were part of the video (unlikely), hallucinations, or real noises. I think the third is most likely because a.) I was only about 12 min. into the video and b.) I live in an apartment complex where most people have dogs.

I've attempted this multiple times tonight. I think the problem is that the video is too short. I can't fall asleep quickly enough. If anyone has links to longer videos (on YouTube) that have worked for you, let me know.

7/28/13

Last night bed 10:30 - 5 am 7am-12pm

Shortly after falling asleep last night, I woke startled and I was so sure I'm dreaming. Counted my left hand's fingers, normal number. I was thinking "please, let they be normal on the other one too". I was so freaked out.

I was awake, but the feeling lingered. Thank god for RCs.

Thoughts of a friend who I haven't spoken with frequently for almost ten years come to mind. I later went into a home of someone who was not there and I was in the bedroom, A telephone comes to mind and leaving a note as to who I was and why I was there. It wasn't to steal anything and whoever it was, May have come home while I was in there.

Perhaps also I was searching for my friend's house earlier; I do know which town she lives in and which street, But not the exact location and I imagine the street is not directly connected with the main road.

Later, My Father woke me up by calling me and I fell back asleep and dreamed I was driving a car (And I think it was my 80s Caprice Classic) And I hit another car in front of McDonald's and there was a traffic light there which isn't there in waking life. My car was then facing backwards and a police car was at the intersection.

There are some deep (And "Above") Ones here this morning. I do hope you accept them as what they are, For that is what I posted them for.

____________________

Earliest dream I recall now:

I went into the kitchen of my house and the gas stove was on quite heavily, Blowing flames out the front and I didn't turn it off but scooted past it so I'd not be burned. The water-boiling kettle may have been on too. I then went into the basement and my Father said something about a support to the building or that it was removed. Part of the floor had fallen through into the basement and there were no stairs to the second floor in the hallway now; There was a way to get into the first-floor hallway from the basement as well as the second floor, Though. I went to the second floor and there was no stairway to the third floor so my workshops were inaccessible along with the heavy tools.

Notes:

The basement seemed bigger than it is in waking life.

The house as a whole was still standing but it desperately needed repaired.

____________________

Second dream:

I do hope this is OK to post here. I was on a **** site, Sitting at my computer with the curtain open and a thought which was "Perhaps I should close the curtain" came up and I was about to M--------e with a sock - I seriously did not realize I was asleep, Things seemed so real - And then I thought "God said none of that!" And I woke up. (This is the turning point.)

Then, I fell back asleep and the third "Dream" Happened. I'm not so convinced it's actually a dream now.

____________________

So, I was in the "Office" room (On the second floor) and my car was there along with my dog. Later, I went into the hallway and my dog was there too, Laying on a box that may have had CDs in it. We went downstairs and my grandmother was in the kitchen - She died in late June 2012, For you readers who weren't aware - And she asked if I missed her and I said yes then she started talking to me about some things and they're not all recalled now. My Father was also in the kitchen but in hindsight he may have looked younger in the dream. My Mother was also there in the dining room at first (Which was not as clean as it could become - It was cluttered.) and Grandmother said something about Mother's van windshield fogging up and also of "Bad Bacteria" and things that look like food which are actually people. For some reason I then saw hot dogs and not sausages. She turned into my mother later and I think talked some more and I saw some deep green bananas on the kitchen counter and one had a "Medicinal" Sticker on it.

My dog was in the kitchen too and at this point I must admit I was somewhat "Lucid" Yet somewhat not "Lucid". It was as if my vision was not fogged up so much and I could see but I didn't go and start "Controlling the world around me".

Anyway, I went outside or was outside and there was a tall fence around the house. I wonder if I put it there? Anyway, I looked out around and I saw green plants and plains in a lot of places around the house and I said, "There's green everywhere!". As I looked around, I noticed that the house of my next-door-neighbor wasn't there and I was rather sad about that and I looked off into the distance but I don't think another neighbor was there either - And he goes to the same local Church that I've attended, I note - Then, I saw the equivalent of the main road that goes through the town I live in. Some people were going around in white clothes and I thought I'd wave to them and did but I don't think anyone saw me.

Then, I saw a little kid - He may have been about four or five - Standing on the fence in a corner and I thought I'd talk to him. I don't think I did but then a lot of other kids started climbing over the fence and onto it from both sides of it and I looked to see if I could recognize anyone that I recalled off the top of my head, But I didn't. Then, I was a bit confused as someone stuck my fingers in her mouth - And somewhere at about this point, A short-haired girl talked to me and I also looked towards the house and saw some people by a door, One who was sitting - And I don't know where I got a hat from but apparently someone took it off me. I then got off the fence and on the ground and someone took off a sandal I was wearing and my foot may have touched the dead leaves on the ground and I woke up.

=======================================

Notes:

- Have you ever woken up and felt as if your vision was cloudy compared to how it was in a dream? I have, And this last dream is similar. With what my Grandmother told me in mind, Possessions also have people's hands tied in with them so how many people do you have "Invited in your room" Now through connections with stuff?

- And years ago I thought that the whole "Heaven and Hell" Thing has something to do with dreams. And, Even in July of last year after my Grandmother had died I'd been having dreams of her and was surprised and relieved that she wasn't dead.

- I changed the title from "My house is a wreck" to "My house was a wreck" on December 14 2013

note: got woken up after only a few hours of sleep when I needed about 3 times as much.

I remember the dream seemed to start out where I was at a school library that looked like the inside of a Barnes and Noble book store. I could smell printing in the books, and then It was like I was reading a manga book but then it was happening right in front of me somehow but two dimensionally. The manga book really didn't seem to have a premise because when I was reading it I saw the print of a school girl aiming a gun or beam gun up in the air randomly. She had short dark hair pulled back into a pony tail and looked like a manga character. Then, she pulled the trigger. This was like looking at a flip book except it seemed to happen on one page. After she pulled the trigger it hit a pillar which then collapsed and fell on top of another school girl who kind of looked like Konata from lucky star but then an older version of her or a similar looking girl then came around the corner. The younger Konata was passed out from being hit and the older girl that resembled the younger shorter one came in and swiped the girl up then ran off to get some help or something. I then flashed back into the bookstore. It was almost like I was witnessing another dimension act itself out. I thought that what I had just read was boring and seemed to lag on about random stuff so I looked through the other manga books. I said no to all of them while saying things like "another book about school girls, no. A book about friendship and hardship, no." I listed all the genres off by my own liking and insisted that it was just the same crap over and over again.

The next dream I was onboard an Alien ship, I had awoken into this dream remembering seeing a fading light and being lifted up. I saw these tall green aliens looking at my feet and poking them, I then realized my feet were green. The aliens then started saying things like "where, were you?" "we were looking for you" and they kept asking those questions until I said something like "I don't know." and then felt distanced from the aliens as I zoned out into a haze for awhile and then woke up

The next dream was Harry Potter related. I remember that chronologically something had happened to where howarts history was repeating itself and time in this matter really didn't exist. I was walking around Hogwarts talking to Ron who was telling me how easy it was to get lost as a first year and told me to try not to get into trouble. I then was on a different floor, Hermione, who was standing looking on ward looked disappointed about something. I couldn't tell until the scenario of where I was became more clear to me. I was in a class, I don't remember which one, but something had gone terribly wrong and Hermione was struck by this. I was a little disoriented within the dream so I don't remember completely what had happened in the classroom like room in hogwarts, it was as though I was trying to remember bits of the movie and the book together to create a dream, but it was all a haze.

In the last dream I saw two fellow church attendees who also sometimes attend band practice:

I went on my porch and there were some boxes in the way but I heard them (The people) sitting on the steps and they found a red die and I said Hi to both of them and asked them to please not throw the die in the street. Then the girl said something about a Zeppelin, I think, And about being my girlfriend - I'd not said anything like that to her directly prior to this - And she said something about any past girlfriends I may have had being cleaned up (If I remember that right) and she pushed me over slightly but I regained balance (At this point I was thinking that I didn't have any girlfriends before that, And it's true - I haven't and I was 21 years old at the time of this dream. I didn't tell her that I didn't have a girlfriend or girlfriends though.) And she also said she saw airplanes crashing all around me (And I somehow knew they were tiny ones.) I didn't see any planes crashing, Though.

She's the girl I mentioned in another of my dream journals - The one about a grocery store - And coincidentally today is her birthday. So, Happy Birthday to her and anyone else who shares this day as a birthday.

First (Successful) Lucid Dream

I don't have this dream written down anymore, so I will have to work from memory.
But I'm pretty sure I remember most of it quite vivdly.

Dreaming - Lucid

I am in an airport with a couple of friends. We are waiting for a flight and we have to smuggle beer with us. We have about a hundred beer cans that we need to take with us and we are brainstorming about how to get them through security. I am holding on to a chocolate Bunny that I just noticed. I don't know how, but that Bunny gives me an idea of how to solve our problem... We do the only logic thing that I could come up with. Break a window and escape through it! We roll down a small grass covered hill and end up in front of the airport. For some reason no one cares about the beer anymore. Suddenly one of my friends starts to throw small rocks at me and it's making me angry. He keeps doing it even though I tell him to stop. A yellow car (Hummer) is driving past me and I take cover behind it by grabbing onto it. When I let go and fall to the ground I realise that letting go of the car and landing on the ground didn't hurt at all...
BOOOM! I am now lucid!
I feel very happy and excited but tried to stay calm. But it's hard to stay calm when your friend still throws rocks at you. I decided to kill him. He jumps into a pond and expertly dodge my attempts to punch him in the face. I once again realise that I'm dreaming and thinks to myself, "Why use my fists when I have acces to any weapon or super power I could imagine?". I stop moving in the middle of the road and kneel down. I look at the ground for a couple of seconds and thinks to myself, "I want a gun". I cover my face with my hands and when I take them away I see a gun in front of me on the ground. Very convenient. I pick it up and aim it at my friend who panics and starts running like crazy. I shoot at him with about 10 bullets but fails to hit him. I decides that it's a waste of time to kill him and I go flying instead. I fly around the corner to a tall building at a pretty low altitude (about 10 meters) and see my uncle peeing on a parked car. I don't really car about it and I continue flying. I fly into a forest. I keep flying just above the ground and I slowly start to lose lucidity. This forest is Beautiful and the sun shines through the branches onto the dirt path that I'm flying above...
I completely lose lucidity and the dream goes on but I can't remember anything from here but a girl on a swing in the forest, and something about water.

Note: This is the first lucid dream I've had since I came to this website. It was a DILD that came after a rather long and strange dream, one of the most memorable I've had in a long time.

So i was in this house in my room. My Mom was on the couch, laying down doing some type of paper work. I had a fish tank in my room with a frog in it. I went to get some type of medicine and accidently dropped it into the fishtank. The frog ate the medicine and suddenly grew to the size of a chihuahua. I was nervous but intrigued. I let him out and he hopped across the room. I thought he was going to pee so I decided to let him outside.
That's when it hit me that this thing might find a way to breed and it could be an abomination to the earth, giant frogs everywhere! so I quickly got it back inside and decided I had to kill it, once it my hands it bit my wrist (it teeth were sharp) and then it suddenly shrunk (after momentarily morphing into a duck and then back) and then suddenly it was dead and in pieces despite me not really doing anything.

multiple times (on the way outside and back in) I tried to tell my mom about the frog but she was too busy to look. The woman who I was holding the frog for came back and I explained what happened but she didn't seem to believe me (but she wasn't mad)
this frustrated me so bad I decided to take a walk and I ended up in some casino/hotel/restraunt/club lobby walking around. I really needed to pee and while I was looking for the restroom at least 3 times people in coats told me I wasn't allowed to be there.
Thats when I noticed how ugly the bite on my wrist looked and i spit up blood, enough blood that I could cup it in my hands.
Suddenly I was driving down the road, I wanted to find someone with a phone so I could call for help, I looked over at my hand and it had swollen to the size of a boxing glove and was a dark red. I was very scared and I said to myself "This can't be real..."

"...it has to be a dream. And I instantly knew it was. and I smiled. Never before had I felt so at peace and happy to be in a lucid dream because I've been so focused on the subject lately (so it was like getting a gift I had been wanting) and what's more...never do I remember so easily dismissing the narrative of the actual dream before.
You see, I had been speeding down the road in this car and my hand was swollen and horribly disfigured, but the second I became lucid and smiled, it's like I instantly decided all that was over or either just didn't matter.

For example: I decided to look at my palm to help become more lucid and "ground" myself as many of the guides talk about. And instantly as I looked at it, it wasn't swollen anymore.
Furthermore: The speeding car? Despite taking my hands off the wheel and looking at my palm (and nothing else) I had ZERO fear that I might crash. It was like I knew it wouldn't happen because I didn't want it to happen.

But then the dream decided to surprise me. As I was looking at my palm, a GPS like voice came over the car speakers and said "You're destination has arrived" Note: I thought it was interesting it said "your destination has arrived instead of you've arrived at your destination--maybe it just said it wrong..or maybe it actually a more accurate description considering how dreams work.

Anyway. When i heard that, I looked up and saw this little bar/clubhouse on the beach and my car rolled to a stop by itself, right in a nice parking space. I got out and looked at my palm again. It was weird looking--like CGI in a movie, not like my real hands at all.
I look up and to the left of my car I see a sea of backs of heads, a large group heading towards the steps of the building. I walk fast to get in front and up to the door. I pause in the entrance way.
I turn around and the man in front of the group (who was a spitting image of the guy who played superman in Lois and Clark) decided he was angry with me being in the way and tried to shove me.

But just like with the car thing earlier, I somehow knew--like instinctually--that it wasn't going to do anything and I didn't even feel the impact.
So suddenly he decides to punch me. I turned away because I thought if I saw them coming I might feel it, but the "camera" of the dream showed me an angle where I could see my back and him swinging at me from the side and all the punches were impacting about 2 inches away from me, as if there were an invisible force field stopping him from actually hitting me.
So then I grabbed him by the shirt spun around and with one hand held him over my head (in an arch motion) sending him through part of the ceiling and then threw him off to about where my car was.
I felt NO weight when i did this..only the cloth in my hand. It was like I had superstrength.
Another person attacked and I parried the punches like neo in the matrix and then backhanded the guy off the porch.

I then heard an asian wind instrument play a few notes for me (i knew it was for me) it sounded like it wasn't anywhere nearby but instead playing over the scene itself like music in a movie--it was the score of this very dream scene. At that moment, a man in front bowed to me in the asian style and the crowd followed. I bowed back.

And then I woke up



I really wish I could've kept it going longer. I wish I had thought to look at my hands again instead of battling the second guy, but I was just enjoying myself so much.

It was incredible though, despite being short.

I'm watching what looks like a video of just sara, but it isn't the version that she put up online so I suppose it's the original unedited version, I realize the reason it's edited online is because she's at her and her sisters mansion and they're two street sign are in the background and they don't want anyone to know where they live. Suddenly I'm in the video I was watching, and I'm talking to tegan, she tells me about the guy they highered, and how he keeps trying to do things his own way by inviting large amounts of people into their house and acting like a hype man and booming loud rap music, I tell she should just fire him and that they could manage the mansion easily without him, beside he makes it considerably more difficult as all his guests leave the place a mess each time. As tegan and I continued our talk, sara walks over presumably to join our conversation, but three girl across the street with ridiculous hair notice them, and run across the street, we first considered running into the mansion out of panic but it was too late so as to not be rude they heard them out, the girls wanted sara number first and then also tegans, sara and tegan both began siting out number as I watched puzzled that they would give out their numbers but to my relief they both motioned to me to help them come up with the rest of I'm assuming fake numbers. So after that the damn guy they hired invited the girls in and when we enter the mansion there are so many people in, he's holding a party again, and some woman who thinks she's the shit comes in as if she's royalty, and I realize tegan and sara walked off so I go see where they went, they're at these roulette like games in the living room messing around with it, so I tell them I can get rid of the guy for them because they couldn't work up the nerve, I told them to write a letter expressing his departure, and that I would give it to him, and take the microphone he was talking to everyone with and I would tell them there was an emergency and that everyone must leave now, so I did just that. One the house was cleared of population, we saw the full extent of the mess people had left so I began to help them clean.

I'm walking through the beginning of a school, it looks like a highschool. I see the people I'm with I suppose they must be my friends, some of them begin to get picked on as we walk a path through it all, every time someone messes with one of my friends I hurt the bully either by punching, pushing, throwing their food in their face, and finally we get to the end of the school and this big tall guy starts to pick on me, so somehow I find a thick sewing needle and I jump on him and try to push the needle through his cheek, the guy tries his best to fight me off but I shove the needle into his face and he falls to the ground, but a teacher saw what happened and called security on us, but me and my friends realize we have these superhuman powers, so we fend off the security easily, but then this special unit is called on us and I assume they're bad because we freak out and start running for the exit, but some of the unit like four of them dressed in black are trying to block off the door while the rest of the unit are chasing from behind about 30 yards away. We fight the people at the door and it's hard to get passes them but this girl helps us from the outside (looks exactly like the girl from kickass, purple hair and purple outfit and everything, except she can fly like me), she get the door open for us and we run out into the parking lot and for some reason now it's night out. She tells us to follow her, she runs between cars and two of my friends follow her as I go around but keep up, it seems we lost one of our own, but we keep running and the girl stops at a black small pick up truck,she motions us to get into the bed of the truck so I jump and lay down in the bed of the truck trying to hide, but the unit is to close behind to not have seen me, the other two get caught and are trying to fight them off of themselves, and the girl tries to help, but I freak out and accidentally make the whole truck fly with me, so I use the truck to make the unit back up by slamming the truck up and down almost on them, so the girl and the two buys jump into the truck bed and I try to make the truck levitate out of there, but then suddenly me and the two boys black out, and awaken in some place, like a rundown pediatrician office, I turn my head and see my two friends knocked out on a table, and to my surprise the girl knocked out by them, I know that she could've gotten away, but I guess she purposely got caught so she could help break us out of this. Then my friends and the girl drowzily wake up too, and I get up and walk over to the door and try to open it, but this woman comes out of this hallway to the right, and with questionalbe concern tells me she didn't want it to come to this and that althouh she is with the unit, she wants to "help" us, but I run back to the table where my friends are at and try to urge them alert so we could climb out the window or something, the woman gets angered at this and runs over to us and she gives them shots that make them sedated. Then she sets her sights on me and I run around the room begging her not to, but then I feel the needle go into my neck and it clicks (literally felt pain) but I keep running even though now sloppily, then I feel it again and hear another click, I felt the pain in my left forearm, then she places me on the table with the others and she gives us this evil look. then she leaves the room. I dowze out for what seems a few seconds but mustv'e been longer because when I awaken I see the girl standing next to me and my friends behind her, they tell me to get up because we're going to escape, so I get up and follow them, the girl quietly opens the only door in the room, but that woman is sitting at a desk just outside the door and she saw us, so the girl slams the door shut and we run back towards the tables and the girls and my friend pull up this poster and there are these hematite blinds, and they pull them up and start to jump through one by one, and the girl tells me I'm next so I jump through to the other side, then I help the girl through and she puts the blinds back down, and we wait and wonder if the evil woman will know where we went, of she knew and we see her trying to get through the blinds into the small dark room we were in, so I look to the left and see a window and I run to it, and open it, I tell the girl to go first, so she does, and next me and then mty friends, there is only about and inch of wall design that we are able to walk on but we hurredly climb around the building, and then I hear the evil woman at the window we exited screaming for us to return or else. But we keep going and I decide it's time for us to fly, but only me and the girl can fly, my friends have different super power that I don't even know. So we both have one of them to grab on to us as we fly, but the edge we were on crumble and we all fell and had to hand on wires by our hands...sadly then I wake up

(I think the benadryl one day after still had an effect on my dreams, this was ridiculously long, vivid, and story like...which is a possible symptom from taking benadryl.)

(While running through the parking lot a became slightly lucid, as I was thinking how good it was I was keeping up with running when usually in my dreams I run so slow.)

Date: 25 July

Total sleep time: 7 hrs

Pre bed: 200 mg valerian, 100mg B6, 1 pep. oil capsule

Dream quality and recall: The dreams were very vivid, recall was good but only noted keywords. I found some dreams emotionally exhausting.

Challenges: I had trouble falling asleep, and later it was warm and noisy so I couldn't do the proper WBTB and take advantage of the vividness to get more and longer lds.

Alarm: I set a WBTB alarm as my natural wakes have become unreliable.

Fragment1: Aggressive DC B6 style (+3 hrs). A person I know behaves very aggressively, I become enraged.

Early micro-ld (+3 hrs after bed): I am in a city that looks similar to one I dreamt a few months ago. Before I recognize this place I am falling with some kind of flying platform thing? Then I go down the street, looking for the city center, I know it is in the opposite direction. On a very low level, I know that this is a dream, so I daringly look around, trying to get into the closed shops. I get distracted by the stuff they are selling - Swarovski smilies that I consider buying for my mom. I continue down the street, rather non-lucid and see they sell rolled scarves. The one that catches my attention is white/pink and as I pass by the street stall, I swiftly take it and pretend nothing happened. I hurry up, but nobody pays me any attention. Contrary to rl, where I have to look at a manual and the mirror, I easily put the scarf around my head and shoulders and continue down the street.

All the previous street stalls and sellers were from India, and this street also has some Indian style of atmosphere. It looks a bit trippy too, as I see a few DCs spitting like crazy.I am distractedly lucid and try to avoid this weird sight, as I walk down the street. Yet, the act of spitting catches my attention and I soon see strange spit-related stalagmites appearing all around me. For some reason, my will activates at this point and I say out loud "this is my dream and I have full control". I didn't expect myself to say this at all, so this puts me into super clarity of mind. Contemplating the statement, I focus on the space in front of me and see the little transparent dot (pin head size, that I sometimes notice during the day if I sleep less that 5 hrs). If find this very strange. At this point the dream falls apart and I am back in bed. A DEILD could have been successful, but decided to visit the restroom.

Fragment: in front of grandma's, I consider climbing a tree, but as my friend confirms there are webs all over the tree so better not.

Fragment: flying?

Dream: We are in Belgium and I go in this person's lab, where I mix some stuff. He is arrested as he is the owner, but they will soon be coming after us too. As I am preparing to leave, a woman that lives in his place comes in and tells me they (cops?) are coming. I have to go to the store and admit I am the one that bought something. The woman in the store will recognize me, so I change my appearance. Before I go, I want to listen to a song, but bf interrupts me.

Fragment: I enter a building, but as I go up the stairs, it turns into shelves stocked with food. As my mind is trying to figure out what the hell is this, I decide that this a small local supermarket, and look at the items there. Lots of expensive cheese and carrot juice. I have climbed on the shelf as am examining all the items. Soon my dad comes in and talks about the food.

Dream: I am in my hometown, in a small garden, waiting for something I can't remember now, on the ground, when Will Ferrell comes to me. He starts talking in German and there is a touch of aggression in the way addresses me and behaves. I tell him to switch to American, then wonder at my own statement. He makes a few comments in English, then goes to a street stall where they sell books and switches to German again. He forces me to buy 4 books, although I see no sense in reading them (they look very outdated and boring). As I take the four books to him, I remember that I don't have money for all of them, maybe just one.

Dream: We are going somewhere with parents, and I know we are heading towards the cave as I see boulders being held by protective nets. Before I know it (this felt lucid for a second because the dream skipped), we are already in the cave. I remember I have to crawl in, so I touch floor and walls of the narrow passage with my hands. We continue forward, but unlike what I have expected, there are no other people here and it is absolutely dark. The passage also gets narrower, I see no point in going further.

Micro ld: I can't remember how this started, I am looking at something (maybe in the cave?) and then it changes so in the darkness in front of me I see these huge ocean waves. I exert control over them, the way I do in many non-lds, but this time I know it was a dream. I am watching this from the distance, as if I am in the cave or in the void and the waves are like a vision/dreamlet in front of me. Then I concentrate on the sound of the waves, I hear them form and crash on the shore over and over, retaining some part of the vision of the waves. I become like enchanted, trying to recall how did the memory of the waves become so ingrained in my subconsciousness. The explanation I come up with is that this is a memory where I am lying on the beach asleep or relaxed, with the waves as the background sound. I feel I am lying on the stomach on the beach, with eyes closed, as if I am relieving a past memory. I am relaxing, semi-asleep, listening to the sound of the ocean.

Dream: Another person pisses me off and I tell him exactly the same things I was thinking about in the last couple of days (saying them is not advisable irl)

Dream: I am on the couch with the son of family friends. For a second, I touch his arm, but then think again. No. He tells me he is sorry that his mom is always inviting me to celebrations (like birthday parties, etc.) and that actually he doesn't want me to be there. I understand, I don't want either. I know that his mom has been trying to hook me up with him. (a rather accurate evaluation, his mom is very enthusiastic about us meeting irl)

Here's a peculiar set of dreams.

> My neighbor took one of his classic cars out and I was in the back seat. Then, He wasn't in the driver's seat and the car was moving so I had to reach to the steering wheel and steer the car. The car hit a truck parked in my neighbor's driveway and I then drove it on the road and later came back into his driveway and steered the car onto the grass and put the car into neutral. Oddly, I think it had a lever to switch the transmission gear when in real life the thing has a push-button transmission. Also, The grass was high in his yard and in real life he cuts it a lot.

> This was transferring from that earlier part to the next part. I was in the garage with a car like my neighbor's of a similar year, But mine wasn't restored and it had rust on the hood or trunk. Then all of a sudden thoughts of Chicken Run came to the dream and the farmers were hungry to eat chicken for dinner and I think there was talk among the chickens that Babs (If I remember the character name right) hadn't laid eggs lately and another character, Edwina was to be taken to have her head chopped off and then be roasted and eaten, I guess, But I didn't see the chicken; I saw a pie crust with a few blueberries in it bigger than my fist and I think I got excited and said something like "I should do this more often" or "I should dream this more often" And I don't think I quoted that exactly.

Note - I was eating blueberries yesterday and I ate some today too.
