Xanous' Dream Journal

#172 - 5:44AM - DILD

I was going for a second WILD this time but felt too tired to keep concentration. At some point my wife kissed when she left to go to the city wide garage sales and I tried DEILD. I don't know if I was successful as I felt like I as in and out of lucidity and forgot a lot of dream content.

There was something about my daughters coming in the room while I was trying to WILD. They kept interrupting me and I sent them out several times. I got on my laptop to check something in my DJ and laid back down.

I remember a lucid fragment of examining myself in the mirror and had the same long blond hair as my older daughter. My face looked the same only beardless. I noticed how similar we look now. I lose concentration and lucidity. I wonder why I chose to grow my hair so long. That must have taken me a long time.

The next thing I remember I was in an inmate in a prison. I have the feeling that I was lucid briefly and lost it. I am sitting down at the tables in the prison cafeteria. I look at my hands and notice that I have dark skin. I think about how a group of us kept trying to escape but always fail. I see a man near me that looks like Jerry from Parks and Recreation. I start crying and sounding a little like Chris Tucker and say to him, "Man, what I did wasn't even that bad... AND THEY LOCKED ME UP IN HERE IN ALCATRAZ!... whatchu in for?"
The man, Jerry, says matter-of-factly, "Nothing."
I cry some more, "See!? You didn't even do nothing and they locked you up toooooo! ahhhhhhh!"

Then a man in a suit sits next to me and whispers something to "Jerry" that I can't remember. Jerry stands up looking totally shocked and just keeps muttering "Yep" and "OK". What the suited man said didn't make sense and I looked to him for clarification. He turns to me and mouths the words, "He's free to go."

Then I am genuinely happy for Jerry and several of the inmates and I start congratulating him. Jerry continues to look shocked and slowly walks off. I shout something like, "Don't worry we'll all be at your house for diner tonight to celebrate!" Several of the inmates laugh because we all know that's unlikely.

Then I see a headless man in a t-shirt with bright red, yellow, and green stripes. He's doing a happy dance for Jerry and everyone treats him like he's just comedic relief. They laugh at him and shout out random heckles. I remember this sign from several of my dreams and become mildly lucid. I shout, "What does his neckline look like?" I want to see if he is smooth like he was born that way or if there is gore. I fly over everyone and look. Of course, he is smooth but looks like he is made of some fabric and stuffing. For some reason I get the urge to bite him there. It's is soft and spongy. Then, I get the idea to merge with him and disguise myself as a way out. I place my head in the empty place and our bodies become one. I continue dancing around and grabbing at my junk, making everyone laugh. For a brief moment I feel like I am grabbing another mans junk like a reach around. I pause feeling a little sick and lose lucidity.

Now, it's like I am totally disconnected from the dream and I feel like a fly on the wall just watching. The headless man is not me nor is he headless... He's the LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE fool from youtube! Anyway, he's just sitting in the drivers seat of a convertible riding long with some Hispanic police officer with a thick dark mustache. He reminds me of a character from Super Troopers or Reno 911. I get the feeling like they are a gay couple. They are talking to each other and the leave-Britney-alone-fool is crying about something while twirling his hair.

Suddenly, I say, "This is a dream. I am dreaming!" I am now sitting alone in the convertible in the back seat. I realize how disconnected I felt and look around. I just need to ground myself. It looks like I am near some businesses and a semi busy highway. I see a blue dumpster with a sign. I focus on the lettering and watch as it morphs and moves around. Then I look around again and I feel solid and stable. That's better. I feel fully lucid now and in control.

I get out of the car thinking of the China TOTY. I think that maybe if I climb over buildings enough I can repeat my last attempt. It doesn't seem to be working. I see a bright red building and decide to try one last time. Still it's just plain-jane-suburbia. I notice it's getting dark and worry that this is the beginning of the dream collapsing. I try not to worry about it and fly. I don't get up very far when I notice a storm cloud with vividly clear starry night sky above it on the horizon. There is a flash of lightning and the dream starts to get dark on me. I decide to quickly fall back down. I see a tan colored station wagon below and land on top, smashing it. I turn to look and start laughing. I say out loud to no one in particular, "Dude, look at that car! I totally smashed it!" I really study the car because I think I'll draw it later but the more I look at it the more non-car-like it becomes. I move on.

I notice that I landed in the yard of some housing complex or apartments. I see there are no trees and the wind starts picking up. I feel a few drops of rain on my face. I try to ignore the coming storm and focus on making a wormhole. My concentration weakens and my half hearted efforts fail me. I find the wind very distracting. But I remember my back up plan.

I'll summon CL and hitch a ride. I walk into the street and shout as loud as I can, "HEY CANISLUCIDUS! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO PICK ME UP!" I wait a moment in the street rubbing my hands for stability. In a few seconds something like a red minivan shows up with bright headlights on. I stand waiting with excitement and put a thumb out so he knows it's me. The vehicle stops to pick me up. I open the door and climb in like it's now a bus or some jacked up truck. I look up and the top half of the driver is shrouded in darkness but I can clearly see shaved feminine legs. I climb the rest of the way in and sit down. I try to change the character into CL visualizing his face but as the light clears things up I see that it is a young attractive woman. She is petite and slender with dark short cropped hair. She looks like she is wearing something like a Laura Croft outfit and I admire her beauty briefly.

Confused, I ask, "Where is CanisLucidus?" Her response is garbled and sounds like gibberish and I try making sense of it but I think I get the gist of it. "You mean you already dropped him off at my house?"
Responds with a clear, "Yes."
"Ahhhhh... Well, just call him up on the cell and tell him to teleport in here with us."
She pulls a cellphone out of her pocked and dials. She says something sort of garbled again but it sounds like she is doing what I asked.

I look at the road now and see what we are driving down a long hallway with many doors. Each time we get close to one it opens. I notice there are many different types. Some white some brown. Some wooden. Some metal. Now I feel like I am running. I start to turn back to see If CL is with me but I abruptly wake up.


As soon as I open my eyes there is a bright flash of lightning in the room. I assume the storm woke me which explains my dream a little.

Next, I pretty much pass out hard until 10:30am with very little recall.
