    1. 2015-01-17 epic nightmare, rushing to bus, daring exposure with woman at mirror

      by , 01-17-2015 at 11:07 AM
      Details to follow later.

      One of the most unpleasant situations in my life has resulted in one of my most memorable dreams (albeit nightmare basically):

      + (epic) struggle against me and my wife at work: theft of our precious silver, confrontation, race to the police, return to work, locked in, weird visuals of the process of manipulation of clay into various faces, drive through suburban cityscape with hills of golden maple and pink cherry trees, view of massive mall/movie theater complex to the right

      I'm in a workplace with my wife, there are long hallways and clusters of desks spread around. ("We" means wife and I were basically together the entire dream). We go to a different group in a cluster of desks/cubes, they're hostile to us. Their manager is also hostile to us. A guy there doesn't like me wife because he thinks that she is always giving them tasks to do with out any effort spent herself.

      I see down a long hallway that this guy is standing at the cabinet that houses our precious silver tableware. The top drawer of the cabinet is open, and this guy has a plastic bag spread out on top and is unloading the tableware into the bag. I run up to him and yell at him and shove him away angrily. I speak to my wife that we need to lock the cabinet in the hallway, I imagine a key inserted into a lock and turning, engaging a lock. I return to the cabinet and open the top drawer, and it is empty, we've been robbed!

      We're again with the hostile group, sitting down leaning against the desks, and I get a vibe that the guy is going to attack us, he stands up and starts backing away, I think he's trying to get proper distance to launch some attack, so I quickly run up to him and close the distance, he keeps backing away and I keep coming up right next to him. I look down and see that he has a revolver tucked into the front of his jeans, I immediately grab for it and take it into my left hand, start to walk away and call for my wife to join me urgently, we must get out of here and call the police. The pistol is small, but deadly, he could have shot us. I right away open the cylinder and empty the (somewhat colorful) rounds into my right hand, and place the rounds into my right pocket and the now unloaded revolver into my left pocket.

      We're exiting the building in haste, we must call the police, it's important to get our story registered first, the hostiles will try to get their story first. Should we go to the PA police department or the CU police department? The PA does not deal with cases outside of their jurisdiction I think / my wife says, OK, let's go to the CU then.

      Outside in a parking lot looking for our car, the spot is empty, "They've stolen our car!" my wife exclaims. No, we "remember" quickly that we simply moved our car ourselves far away, we'll have to go and get it.

      Driving now through rolling suburban hills with businesses around. To the left I notice a striking hillside covered with shining golden maple trees. I look closer and the trees seem to be pink Japanese cherry trees. I look to the right and down a steep hill I see a massive mall complex below, it's also a giant movie theater, and as we drive past I think what sorts of movies play there, I see some large (actors?) faces on a marque, maybe I should go to this mall to check it out.

      Back in the work place, it's empty, I think they could come and lock us in.

      Talking with some guy at work, his job over the years has been to create a system for transforming lumps of clay into faces. I see a lump of clay up close, there is a narration about the different parts of it, and soon it is getting pushed and pulled and formed into a series of about 5-6 different heads/faces with open mouths, mostly sort of monster looking. I'm thinking this has taken a long time and seems sort of like a wasted effort.

      (Waking from this dream was a relief, the sense of dread and forboding was constant throughout the whole thing. I quickly realized though that as a dream it was fairly awesome in terms of "present" experience, continuity, length/coherence, and visuals.)

      + pushing through crowds crossing the street to get to the buses

      A crowd of people is standing at a crosswalk waiting for the signal to light, some are "beeping" behind us telling us to go. We wait for the signal, and cross the street, and we're in a sort of bus station. Buses and coming and going, our bus is full and leaving, there are so many buses around that we can probably catch another one.

      Move into a group of (woman?) talking/laughing about something?

      + (semi/almost lucid) getting sexually daring with a woman and in front of a mirror

      I'm in a bedroom, I'm following around a black woman, not terribly attractive but I'm still following her around. We're standing in front of a mirror her attention is not on me, but I get an idea and want to start exposing myself so that I can see myself and the woman in the mirror but so that she doesn't see me. I'm doing this on and off stopping when she looks? Then I take her aside to the bed and pull out my (ahem) to show her, and the dream ends….

    2. 2015-01-16 longer continuous dreams, non-lucid TOTM fireworks, plumbing, convenience st, blueberry

      by , 01-16-2015 at 10:27 AM
      23:59 pre-bedtime visualizations intentions
      12:12 bedtime

      03:13 no recall

      several small position change wakings, was on stomach at a few points

      04:44 recall, WBTB drink cup of milk eat small piece of bread

      + driving car on streets going through confusing traffic lights, cities on the river, drive to store, packets of BBQ sauce, fireworks at house

      In a car driving on streets in traffic. Several times approach traffic lights, and the lights turn off. Does a turned off light mean you can go or you have to stop? Second time this happens I see traffic going? I decide to go, turning left street bends to the left, choosing which lane to go into, 2nd from left?

      Thinking about/telling about cities along the river, how one city is between other cities along the river.

      I drive to a store and pull up and stop, get out go in I'm delivering a bunch of packets of BBQ sauce. I pull the packets out of my pocket and one bursts and stains the lower right portion of my shirt, I head to the bathroom to wash up (I taste the sauce?). A girl is talking about how she wants to construct the drink cooling apparatus, a medium sized machine that they will fill with cooling stuff including a bunch of tomatoes which will keep things cold? I don't think the tomatoes will work.

      I arrive at a house on suburban street I've brought stuff for a party including packs of fireworks (like sparkler sticks) in bags, standing on street next to driveway of party house, a friend takes one and sets it off: he spins around in a circle several times and sets off the firework while spinning, and the firework maintains the spin and corkscrews up into the sky and explodes, I think it's interesting how it maintained the spin. Another friend takes one and sets it off, it doesn't go high, it forms a short word that floats around a circle from the party house driveway to the house across the street and almost hits the garage door of the other house. Friend disappointed in this but I say no it was really cool. Another friend grabs a firework and sets it off, I say "OK, do I have to go hide these in the house?" (it's not time for them yet). I then discover packets of BBQ sauce in my pants will, I've forgotten to deliver them I'll have to return, somebody (wife?) asks if I really have to.


      04:53 BTB

      Long long long back to sleep. 1.5-2 hours easily probably. Did "relaxing SSILD" for a while, including long cycles. Takes a while for my mind to settle down but eventually start to get the drowsy feeling. Almost got up but felt the beginnings of sleepiness so stayed with it. What worked at last was total letting go on every exhale both physical and mental. Fair bit of almost dream-like (people) HI.

      09:24

      + (f) bed mother pee, friend DD

      + nuns(?) are fixing poop plumbing something's clogged

      They (women, nuns?) want to try opening up the poop plumbing to see if it's fixed, I really don't want to do that since I do not see a shutoff valve and the pipes are all disconnected still so if I turn it on a bunch of poop is going to come out. They're pouring water into one of the intermediate holes and it's flowing out from the hole right next to it, I think that means it's still clogged somewhere

      + DO woman walking outside drunk guys bothering her, giant comes to defend her pushes them away; talking to man & woman man funny head/nose, talking about literature?; leaving room and return a table is in front of the door

      I'm flying DO about 20 feet up over the scene looking down, several obviously drunk guys are following and bothering a woman, then there's a male giant there who bats them away from her.

      Talking to some guy and a girl, his head has a ridge along the center top like a Klingon, I say something about this and he presses the ridge down and it vanishes but his nose simultaneously grows very large: it must be either one or the other. Discussing something about literature I say something (forgot).

      I leave a room, do something, then return, I see that upon my return a fairly large table has been placed in front of the door, I think this is a good way to keep people from entering. I'm inside the door looking out and notice there is a little path in between the door and the wall.

      + our group walking to convenience stood want microwave burrito people have cake, friend EMW runs store, wait for refund, EMW piano keyboard behind counter, plays riff from concert piece

      Our group is heading to the convenience store for snacks, walking in twilight coming around a path bending to the right, others are already returning, they're carrying plates of cake, 1-2 thin rectangular small slices of cake lying sideways on a dinner plate. I think I want something more substantial like a microwave burrito. Approaching store I see someone slicing cake and handing it to someone. Enter the store, this is my friend from boy scouts EMW's store (false memory)! He's sitting behind the counter to the left. He told me (false memory) that the first time in his store he would get me stuff for free! I keep waiting for him to offer to give me free things but he never does. I think it's because I'm here with a group. Our total is around $5. I see he's sitting at a piano keyboard as part of the counter, and recall (false memory) he's a great pianist, and ask him to play a section from his recent competition piece, and he quickly plays a fast run with a strong chord at the end and I think it sounds great.

      + class discussion friends driveway blueberry plant CS question, RB wife can't solve, I give speech about learning new things

      Standing in a driveway unknown location outdoors daylight, a bunch of people are there it's a class of some sort. I'm standing on the edge of the driveway at the street on the right-side facing the house. Boy scout friend RB is there in front of me. The subject of discussion are the computer science properties of a potted blueberry plant. RB's wife (to RB's right) seems confused and doesn't know the answer, I know it has to do with constants. RB says "hey that's her, not me" he doesn't want to be blamed for her not knowing. I take the potted plant in my hands and look at it, it is lovely with green leaves and purple flowers? There are about 20 little shoots of the plant growing out of the pot. I feel sorry for RB's wife and show the plant to her and say "at least you can appreciate the beautify of the plant" trying to make her feel better. Then I make a long speech about how "those of us who have been working in CS and reading for 5, 10, 20, 40 years know all of these examples instinctively without having to think. If I were to take up a subject new to me, like particle physics, I wouldn't know the axioms of the subject, the compound and the …(can't think of word for fundamentals) atomic principles of the subject, they would be new to me". The teacher nods his head and says "good job, <my name>"

    3. 2015-01-15 fishing creature, suitcase, crazy driving, pizza road, sex

      by , 01-15-2015 at 02:45 PM
      WBTB long up time (tried short but didn't make it back to sleep) but eventually BTS (back-to-sleep), pretty weird dreams all night

      01:00 pre bedtime

      04:22 no recall

      06:00

      early:

      + searching for suitcase (green with red stripe), find it, prepare to repack it

      I'm walking around rooms looking for my suitcase, it's the "green one with the red stripe around it", I see many suitcases that I have in WL but they're not the one, I eventually find it and wheel it around, it's pretty heavy, I may have to re-pack it?

      + guy takes a second sip from the girl's soup spoon: this is the secret of winning women's hearts

      A guy is taking a sip of soup from a girl's soup spoon, then quickly takes a *second* sip of it, I think that extra unexpected sip is the secret to a woman's heart: it shows spontaneity.

      + climb up onto a giant elephant-like beast with bags of hundreds of acorns/pine-cones, observe the story about the creature that eats then poops out fish for the natives to eat

      Outdoors daylight, large strange beast like an elephant, huge bags of acorns/tiny pinecones has been prepared. Up on top of the beast there is a narrated story, of how some native people's never used to be able to catch fish, there is the example on the right where no fish are caught, and the left where fish are caught. A narrator says "they would never catch fish until they discovered (the secret)", which is that there is a strange creature that very easily catches little fish and processes them through its body and "poops" out small fish/larvae that is stunned that can be easily captured. I watch in fascination as this creature does this several times.

      + my wife wants to go into business with some partners, she says "$4 million is not enough, we should raise $20 million," I'm skeptical that any VC will give that much for a simple furniture store venture.

      +(f) sex

      Unfortunately this vague, I do recall a naked girl and some abstract intercourse (things don't fit? Typical for non-lucid sex) but the memory is really sketchy.

      07:00 ? get up for WBTB?
      07:26 back to bed

      08:00 ? can't sleep get up

      08:30 ? back to bed

      11:18

      later:

      + in a strange place I hear my parents voices, they're turning home I'm really happy and run to meet them

      + tired/exhausted girls work long shifts

      One girl I see in a back room lying exhausted on a cot in between work periods. Another girl is sitting down on a chair nearby, I think I see some nipples poking out from her tight sweater

      + retreat to the downstairs bathroom of childhood home for "private time" but now there's a window leading back into the house, eliminating privacy, this confuses me

      I'm very curious about this window, it didn't use to be there, I see that it looks back into the hallway by the stairs to the basement. How odd. This window ruins the privacy of the bathroom.

      + bunch of families are going on vacation from the core home, guy hits me on the head hard with a pipe by accident, come up into a room that is really a front for a covert military force (they're observing from across the street); driving crazy in the street have to make a 3-point turn, driving up a road paved with pizza boxes, rifling through boxes looking for leftovers

      The (3?) families who live/are visiting in the core home are heading out for vacation. The vacations are all close by. One of the guys is going nearby, I see "it's what, only an hour away?" He says yes. I say "it's great that we can visit these places which are only a few hours away." I'm on an outdoors stairway, the other guy is swinging around pipes and it ends up hitting my head really hard by accident. I'm stunned, and contain my temper instead of getting really mad, I just stand there still for a while.

      In a room, coming up some stairs, it's sort of an outdoors area that I thought used to be a store, but it was empty, and I see across the street there are guys inside a building with weapons, they're guarding this area? There's a leader woman there.

      I'm driving in a car, vehicles are driving fast and I'm trying to pull a U-turn, I don't make it I have to make a 3-point turn, vehicles are coming fast, but they don't hit me. I'm then driving up a street that is lined with pizza boxes. I think "did we really eat all that pizza on the weekend? How much did that cost?". I reach into some boxes looking for some leftovers.

      + girl who wanted the most expensive music recording device, roller-coaster-like ride up a bridge spire

      A girl kept upgrading her music recording device to the best one she could find. The "DD-<numbers>" units. We're driving in a car approaching a bridge with a great view, I say "you're in for a treat!" We drive up the support of the bridge vertically like a roller-coaster then after the top down the other side, people are visible walking/(sliding?) down the cables. There is a large green area(?) where the cell phone signal is blocked and the girl can't check something about the price on the music device. We're in a store and she finds yet a higher end more expensive DD-?? device and wants it, I say what's the point of these expensive music recording devices, you could just re-record your music on (tape?) if you wanted to.

      + guy throws a fish at me, poor thing flops on the ground and is ripped in half by the impact

      In a store, unexpectedly(?) there are large fish tanks across the room. There is a guy there and as a joke he tosses a large live fish at me (I think it's a carp?) pretty large, about 2 feet long, and it SMACKs hard on to the ground near my feet, I reach my hand down to it but an leery of it biting my finger into its mouth. The guy comes over and lifts up the fish from the head and only the front part comes up, the fish has been ripped in half by the impact and you can see it's insides. I say something like "good job" sarcastically to the guy and he's not happy about ruining the fish.

      + son S2 is procuring laptops with great graphics, I'm going to sleep but wary of the strange woman in the corner, bunch of kids on my bed I show them how to do front somersaults

      In a room like a dorm room, I'm sitting on my bed, my son S2 is saying that he's managed to get approved for our group to get new laptops with the best new graphics, he had to do it now because once the term starts these requests will not be approved. I see over in the dark corner of the room across from me in flashes of light I see some older woman is lying in a bed, I'm trying to get a clear view. I getting into bed for sleep and I do not want to sleep with that unknown woman in the room.

      Another younger woman, a mother with kids, is at the root of my bed going in to the next room for a shower, she has some daughters who are naked and are going in to the shower. At the head of my bed is a clothed girl, so I help her do a front sommersault towards the foot of the bed. Then my bed is filled with kids and I'm constantly helping them to do forward sommersaults. I show one with my hand (I see my hand, looks normal) the rounded shape his head should take so that he doesn't land on his head. An adult (form er colleague from KG?) does a sommersault off the foot of the bed and has to lean diagonally to avoid hitting a desk or table there.

      + (long) preparing camp against the nazis, our friends vanish, enemy scout animals/monsters attack our scout thing, beat them to a pulp, train in the distance picks up (soldiers?) & medicine, captured for court martial, "do not commit the crime of 'hearing'", 2 small girls are named by enemy captain, calls one of them to do a delivery.

      At one point, I see in the far distance a scene where a train pulls up to a station, and car by car, people fill the car, then medicines flow into the car, then the train advances one car, and the next empty car is filled first with people then with medicines, this happens about 3-4 times.

      Generally a dark/scarry/forboding feeling throughout this. I'm with some others preparing an outdoor fortress/ camp (for the winter? a siege?) against the bad guys who will be here soon. We're doing things like scavenging scrap metal and piling it up in our compound behind fences. Most of the people vanish except I have the feeling there's one other guy but I don't see him. I pass over a deep cave going into the ground and say "we may have to go deeper down" to be safe. At one point I'm at a dark place on the road and I see an enemy scout raise up, I freeze but they can still see me. There are two strange little beasts and they attack our beast. I come to its defense and pound one of the small enemy beasts to a bloody pulp.

      I have a thought about capture and the scene transitions (I actually noticed the transition!) and I think "we'll be court martialed". In a room with prisoners and guards, the guard is screaming about not "committing the crime of 'hearing'" (meaning prisoners communicating and understanding one another). The enemy commander gives two small twin prisoner girls rhyming names (don't recall them) and summons them to him, they need to deliver some roll of documents somewhere.

      WBTB

      + (KILD, LD #94) walking along line of hot girls, checking them out, they're shy, lean over kiss one and get lucid

      I'm walking along with a group of girls. I'm checking out the rear of the one in front of me, she's hot. She immediately covers up her butt, pulling down a sweater and placing a backpack right in the way of the view, I think this is funny. No problem, ah there's another sweet one with a tight body-fitting long sweater on with a great a$$, I'll just go and check her out for a bit. I realize I'm walking along besides a girl and I get bold and lean around in front of her and kiss her, as soon as I kiss her I think "I'm dreaming," and stay in the kiss for a while, feeling the lucidity, but visuals are gone (must have 'closed my eyes') and I soon wake/transition.

      + toy vending machine, cost is 198 (298?), girl tells me order is ready, MILF leans over showing cleavage including nip slip, fascinating eye'd girl (violet? gray?) at counter, calls to Japanese boss for assistance, language confusion

      I'm in some busy room, there's a small toy vending machine in front of me, made out of plastic, there's a roll I want to buy and push a toy button and an odometer-like display comes up and shows a price of (198 or 298?), I think wow that's an expensive roll. At that point a blonde girl comes up to me and starts discussing my (order?), I'm confused about langauges and start speaking a <forgeign language> asking "where is it? How do I get there?". I get attracted to her and start to touch her arm and caress it but she looks a bit freaked out and edges away. At that moment I look to her left and an attractive middle-aged woman with deep cleavage showing is leaning far over doing something, I admire the view, and realize there's a bit of nip-and areola-slip going on there.

      I move to another room and come up to a girl at a counter. I reach up and take off a necklace of some sort that I"m wearing it's related to the object I ordered and need to pick up. More langauge confusing, we start in <foreign language> and she switches to asking a question in English at one point and I notice the shift but I answer "yes" in english. I'm then captivated by her eyes which at first I think are a deep violet color which I think matches her top, then her eyes become completely gray/silver, very remarkable. Her manager comes by, a Japanese man, who goes and stands a bit to the left of us with his back to us and she asks him some question. I"m not sure about where I'm supposed to go and when, but I know that I would not mind coming back to this place again!

      lots of night wakings and lots of recall, but consistently short, mostly disconnected scenes

      00:17 pre-bedtime

      04:35 no recall

      07:47

      + (f) parking garage? (voice notes, don't remember this!)

      + the gym admin wants $300 ($300!!!!) for the task of simply retrieving my file from the back room, I'm flabbergasted; haven't been at my locker in long time, combination lock

      I approach and look at the combination locks, I start spinning one? Locks that have been not used for a long time have little boxes placed around them, I look on the back of the locks and (the combination is written there?)

      10:00 ?

      + I'm waiting for HOURS for my burger in the fast food joint, there's a massive, pressing crowd at the counter I'm pushing them away to maintain my place, I keep telling people I've been waiting for HOURS.

      + The taco place buffet doesn't have tacos or burritos, only less desirable stuff, I go looking for the tacos, find them but they're paid, not part of the buffet so don't take any

      + in a large open grocery store, see someone with a bacon/egg/muffin at the checkout, go to the bacon/egg/muffin counter, select the ingredients, and they cook it for me, I wonder what happens if they break the egg

      I choose a slice of tomato, a cooked/poached egg, a slice of cheese? and a muffin and give them to the (lady?) to cook and they start cooking it. I wonder if they break the poached egg so that the yolk runs out if I can ask them to make another one.

      + guiding friends (man/woman/child) from the subway to the playground, they want to take a taxi but I show them the playground is right across the street; playing basketball in the playground

      + lying down in a driveway in winter beside a rolling country road, cars drive by, looking for police cars coming down the road, hoping nobody will run over me

      I see the cars driving by while lying down on frozen/frosty ground, I see some cars with lights go by must be a police car, I see a driver inside, but he pays me no attention.

      + a guy makes a great fast move climbing over the naked black giant demon thing and scores a basket, is that thing really naked? yes I sort of see it's "thing"; I'm studying (magic?) there's a bad guy over there, I will never join him

      + outdoors/daylight/huge building: it's a multipurpose building, read the titles on building, restaurants, etc., automated gate, weird simultaneous naked/clothed/jeans, super thick wall street journal on ground, picture/painting of the very large east coast wedding party

      The building is huge like a sports arena and is standing to my right about 100 feet away. It's something to do with Russia on the other entrance?

      The fence closes slowly and automatically, I"m watching the mechanism of it up close right in front of the door.

      I feel like I'm naked ("feel the breeze" on my stuff), I look down, and I see I'm wearing jeans, yet I'm still naked. It's like my skin has jeans camoflage drawn onto it, sort of, I can see my thang hanging down but it's jeans colored. I can't figure out if I'm nakeed or not, doesn't look like it but it feels like it.

      I walk by some outdoor cash registers where people are buying things,on the ground I see a massive folded newspaper, it's about 1 foot thick, I rifle through a few pages without actually reading anything and imagine this is the Wall Street Journnal.

      Nearby in a checkout line is a wedding party, there's a picture/photo there of a large "East Coast" wedding party, it's stylized and seems half-painting half-photograph.

    6. 2015-01-11 racquetball again, 2 appearances of breath, late morning sexytime

      by , 01-11-2015 at 09:00 PM
      + racquetball: observing a game, guy plays a lot at the front, waiting to get my court, challenge court, think of glow-in-the-dark stealth RQB

      A guy is playing a girl, I'm observing from the back of the court. He makes a lot of side-to-side at-the-front shots. On one point the girl runs really fast to get to the ball, a great hustle, the point continues, and she tries to hit the ball off the back wall and messes up. I think of the concept of "stealth" racquetball: played in the dark, the ball would be glow-in-the-dark green, and the racquets would need to be longer, like squash racquets, so that your opponent wouldn't be able to figure out where you were (dream logic!). The racquets would be white, too, I see one, looks like a badminton racquet. It's time for my reservation, but the courts are still full of people playing a challenge ladder. I think of joining in.

      + strange quarry: weird processing/gathering trucks, fall into manure hole with pipes, guy in the bag

      Outdoors daytime, a large open conical quarry. One level near the top is made of large stones and is being processed by a strange truck with lots of tubes coming off of it. I walk along the path and come upon a 10-foot deep whole with vertical pipes in it, it also seems to be lined on the sides with horse manure. I (fall?) down inside the whole and hear a voice from underneath me, I was sitting on a small canvas bag/sack, there's a guy inside there. He's in there in a hope for his untreatable condition to be cured.

      + semi-epic in technological multi-story girder building: breath temperature detection program, when will it be done, guy sitting in room, scary alien (ghost? bacteria?) is learning, director contacts headquarters, breath calming device (TWO breath occurrences!); two guys accepted into flight school, flying away, views of Disneyland below, bathroom, strange toothpaste, wife, SF

      I'm at a desk with a computer system on it in an open modern multi-level office building with lots of exposed girders. I'm building a breath temperature measuring device. I will make it take two inputs from two people and it will do a simultaneous analysis of the breath temperatures. It will measure minimum, maximum, and median (mean, too?) temperature of the breath blown in. The director of the facility asks me when it will be ready, I'm pretty sure it will be ready later this day, but it may take until tomorrow to finish.

      I'm walking through the facility, in one open area there's a guy (and a girl?) sitting at a desk.

      We're gathered together in a room. We are observing how the scary alien intelligence (bodiless? bacteria?) are attempting to gain control of a mouse on a computer. The alien intelligence is making progress and is beginning to activate the fighter/bomber planes and may use them against us. The director of our facility is signaling headquarters, she does this by signing her signature on a piece of paper and encoding a message. I observe her doing this several times.

      I get scared and run out of the room. I move to another room nearby, but the doors are strangely opening for me as I approach automatically. I think the alien intelligence may be doing this to lead me to a trap, I ask someone if this could be and they answer "yes."

      I'm pretty scared, somebody gives me a calm-down breathing apparatus for me to have. It works by providing resistance to natural breathing patterns, you have to push pretty hard for it to allow breath in or out. It's a multi-part device, you blow in one end, and something moves on the other and as the breath comes out. This calms me down. I go back to the original room and fold my apparatus and put it on a shelf. I look for it again right away and can't find it.

      Flying now on an airplane with open sides/doors (like a paratrooper plane). Two guys are happy, they've been accepted to the flight training program, there is a vision of a bunch of guys in flight gear floating through the air. I see down on the ground below the plane, we're flying over "Disneyland", there are large colorful "rides". The ocean is nearby, it is bright daylight. We fly over another "Disney" amusement park, circling to the right, I look down, it's pretty crowded with teeny tiny people (ant sized). We fly closer to one ride which is little children going vertically up and down on tracks, their mothers are there too.

      I'm in a bathroom, (doing something?), leaving, I see on a shelf/counter a completely used up double-nozzled tube of toothpaste:

      B6 vitamins??-toothpaste.gif

      There is another more normal looking tube of toothpaste with some left in it. I squirt out a large blob of pale green (like old Crest) toothpaste on my brush and am about to brush my teeth with it. I stop and think, where did this toothpaste come from? It's not mine, ew, I shouldn't use it, and dump it and head to leave.

      My wife is also leaving, we're in the big city, I think I should hang around in the city and (<do something> )

      late morning jumbled scenes:

      + hiding under bath towel, on bus with MR he disappears, strange neighbor sign, strip and engage the girl, problem with electricity in the basement, ham and cheese bagel in parents' kitchen

      I'm on a bus with best friend MR heading up S street towards GP. Near the top I realize he's not there and I don't see him. Outside the bus (?) there is a sign put up by a neighbor. I read it several times and am trying to make sense out of it. The part I'm sure about are: "It is our daughter's birthday" and "Yes, this is odd" (meaning it's strange to make such a sign in the first place!).

      I'm lying down in a room with people, I'm in an "excited" state, I'm trying to hide this and simultaneously "enjoy" the state, I pull a large bath tower over myself but can't quite get everything covered up.

      (semi-lucid)
      Spoiler for explicit sexual content:


      Dozing in and out of sleep

      + A guy in the basement is telling us something we're doing is interfering with the electrical system and is bothering his sleep since an electrical line is right next to his head. I'm not understanding what he's saying. He says the problem is in the basement. Part of a wall is painted red? I finally understand that something we're doing is causing a change in the flow of electricity and that is sounding like some sort of hum that is bothering him.

      + I pick up a bag and open it from the kitchen table, inside is a ham and cheese bagel. I take it to the kitchen and want to zap it in the microwave, but my dad is in the way, I try to step around him but can't, so I wait for a second then I put the bagel on a bubbling plate in the microwave, slam the front for of the microwave with a bang. I notice the small microwave is encased in a large enclosure, I think this is to limit the radiation. My mother says something about a project (guava juice?) I'm working on it late.

    7. 2015-01-10 LD #93 TOTM chug wine, gangster ice cream gun, puke girls

      by , 01-10-2015 at 11:53 AM
      A long night, mostly jumbled recall of many scenes, proper (short) WBTB leading to first LD of 2015 + TOTM

      Lots of dream activities during the day. Watched youtube videos about meditation, tried to meditate but too noisy/busy in the room. Kept meditative mindset. *I'm* a lucid dreamer. The ability is in *me*. Decided to return to multiple wakings this night, and do a proper WBTB. Was not easy getting up, and didn't go far, just quick pee and sat on the edge of the bed for about a minute. Was a bit concerned that I had woken up too much but I made it back to sleep and did get lucid.

      WBTB and wakings during the night does seem to be the key. Sleep quality though does seem worse than when not frequently waking.

      Lots of scenes but not extremely well remembered and the ordering is not entirely clear.

      01:05 bedtime

      06:40 ?

      (earlier)
      + outdoors, people walking to (the bathroom?) walking by a square in the ground with a pine branch placed in it as a memorial?

      + gangster standoff: the leader turns the tables by shooting everyone with his gun which was disguised as a chocolate ice cream bar which he had been eating; escape from the house with the "girlfriend"; meeting the weird looking girl at the ATM

      Sitting in a room, the situation is sense. The gangster boss leader is to my left and is sucking on a chocolate ice cream bar. Suddenly he takes the bar out of his mouth, points it at the (police inspector?) across the room from him, squeezes the ice cream bar around the middle with his hand, and it fires a bullet, hitting the police guy right in the forehead instantly killing him. People are running around, I'm hoping I don't get shot.

      I'm in my room (childhood home?) thinking I need to get away, the ground is littered with stuff. Should I pack a bag or just leave everything behind? The bag is there on the ground and I stuff a few things in there.

      Outdoors I jump in to the getaway vehicle, my "girlfriend" is just a few steps behind me, can she open the door because of that tree? Get in fast! She gets in / we drive away?

      I'm following "girlfriend?" short young latina she's making some sort of payment at the ATM? We're meeting another girl, an even shorter and very odd looking latina, she's going to help us with something.

      + wife/phone; google glass not working until looking at a suitable background

      My wife says "don't worry…I know about the picture of that girl you have on your phone", my mind races, what picture? My phone is in my hand. I'm standing at a counter wearing some sort of google-glass-like thing, I can't see any of the projections. I look around and look at some sort of white background then all of a sudden I can see the projections.

      + six-legged hexagonal "predator-style" aliens are doing a ritual dance

      In some sort of a cave? 4-5 of these hexagonal beings each are stomping around and moving their legs in ritual movements. They're wearing some colorful sort of athletic outfit? 2 of the legs are used as stabilization behind them.

      (later)

      I actually woke from this lucid and went back to sleep without journaling, I happened to remember it on a later waking.

      07:45

      + (lucid) ask green turtle/dog alien for dreaming power, enter childhood home, bizarre view out windows, chugged a bottle of wine, took of flying with biting/clawing cat coming along for the ride

      (childhood home) I head up the front steps to the street and see on the street a medium-dog-sized green alien turtle/dog thing looks like it's made out of stone. I crouch down so as not to be seen, it walks a bit to the left towards the G's driveway with its head to the left. I think it's sort of stupid to stay hidden (because it's a dream?). I (call it to me?), it comes and stands right before me with its weird alien stone green face. I ask it for dreaming power, lucid all night every night. It raises a hand and touches my forehead. Satisfied, I head back down the stairs to the front door, and as I head in to the house I'm lucid, and do a solid nose pinch to confirm. Right inside the front door and turn to the right heading for the living room, I say "wow" because the visual representation of the house is really accurate (frequently the living room in dreams is empty/wrong). I walk by the armchair towards the middle of the room and reach down and touch the wooden tip of the arm (that chair hasn't been there since I was in high school) of the chair with my right hand briefly. Ahead and towards the right out the wide window I see in the distance a really large tall white skyscraper lit with bright light with strange very large letter/number/symbol combinations (about 3 symbols long) placed in several locations around the front of the building. I see a short sequence of zillions of bright flashes like thousands of camera flashes all going off around the same time. After this the view is muddled and just dark blobs. I turn towards the dining room and think of goals and TOTM: fireworks, wine. Definitely wine. I turn back towards the living room and expect to find a full open bottle of wine. The dream is starting to get a bit vague. I have a full open bottle of (white) wine (champagne?) in my hand, and up-end it and start to chug it. It takes a while, 15 or 20 seconds, I'm counting the seconds/gulps? I wonder briefly about the effects and I find there are none. I head out to the deck and feel like making a strong flying take-off. As I leap into the air something grabs my right lower leg, I look down and see it's my cat in a bitey/scratchy mood. As I fly it continues to bite/scratch, so I pick it up in my hands and bite its head trying to get it to stop I lose lucidity and am in some room where two girls are laughing about the cat.

      + hotel room, get extra key, where's the room?, puking line of girls, cover the windows

      A girl arrives with the extra room key I've requested. "This is the extra key?" I ask her? She nods and leaves. It's just a single smallish key. I decide to try it out, I should have done this before she left. I put it in a lock and turn it, it moves the mechanism and a deadbolt goes in and out.

      Where's the room? Is it on the ground floor of the building over there?

      Sitting on a (couch?) there is a line of (junior high, high school?) girls standing there they look like they've all vomited recently, there are remnants of vomit on some of their shirts. At some point (later?) in the night I think I should have tried to kiss them but think the barf breath would have been nasty.

      Outside a room and covering up the windows with (two large pieces of cardboard?), sliding these pieces around to cover up the windows, on the right I attach a very small piece of tape to the cardboard/window pane, some guy is there (critiquing?) my work.

      + last beer?, last year of high school?, what will I study? (topics for dreaming!), woman says where to find homeroom (peaches)

      (childhood home back porch?) On the bottom of the barrel there is one bottle of beer left. I pick it up but drop it back down again, I don't want to take the last beer. I'm leaning out the (kitchen?) window talking to a boy scout friend: we're entering our senior year of high school. Wait, maybe I already graduated? I can't remember! I think what classes I want to take. I say "hobbit-classes", I also say "acrobatics", I'm thinking that what I want to take are classes that aid in my ability to perform things in lucid dreams, but I don't want to tell him that I'm a lucid dreamer so I'm hesitant in what I say as I try to clarify my thoughts of what I want versus what I want to tell him, I think I'm probably not making much sense to him.

      Go back around inside the kitchen (even though I was already there?) from the deck the question is where to find your homeroom, the woman there says (I'm thinking?) it has to do with peaches/apricots, there's some way to always find the room (I forgot).

      + football: advise the guy to stay down so they won't late tackle you, they do anyway.

      There's a guy who caught a kickoff (or made a touchdown?), I advise him to stay down or else the defenders running down the field will have an excuse to late tackle him, they do it anyway. (He later kicks a field goal?)

      lucid , task of the month
    8. 2015-01-09 new job, solo concert

      by , 01-09-2015 at 08:43 PM
      To bed very late, more holiday-related alcohol consumption, very busy days, stress, so dreaming is not perfect. But came away with two fairly long vivid coherent dreams, probably much detail forgotten.

      + new guy at a new company, give them a false name, tour the facilities and observe the huge workbenches and covered with huge plots

      I'm settling in my cube at a new job, the boss calls me in to a meeting. In a conference room, sitting around a long table, I tell them my name is "Kirill," but they can call me "<my real name>", it's my nickname. Why did I tell them a false name, will that cause a problem?

      I don't really know what's going on at this job. I should ask JL who also works here and used to be my manager at another job (real memory), but I think no, I should figure it out on my own.

      I'm standing by a printer station, this is a printer that has many different names, all of which comes to this one device. A 3-ish page document comes out from a young woman, I pick it up and set it to the side of the printer, she comes by and I imagine she'll find it.

      I'm given a walking tour of the company. It is extremely crowded with workers who all work very hard and long hours. It's a computer hardware company apparently. Everybody's desk is really long, and their work areas are covered with huge very wide (2-3 meters) plots of the systems their designing. The plots are colorful and are made up of large numbers of lines arranged mostly in rectangular grids, like this:

      why do i bother?-fig1114.gif

      Discussing a particular circuit with somebody. It's a 9x2 or 9x3 arrangement of cells, it's a multiplier.


      +(f) walking outside a company outdoors in daylight

      + performing a concerto at a concert in a very steep concert hall, should I use music?, conductor goes on first

      I'm performing a solo at a concert. I'm climbing down a steep practically vertical audience area almost like a ladder. I pass by the principal orchestra <my instrument> player, and nod to her. I look down to the stage area and see a music stand has been placed on the stage next to the chair I will sit in. Hmm, should I play with music? I'm trying to decide, it's less professional to play with music but there's less risk of forgetting the music.

      Later I'm down on the stage level it's darker waiting to go on stage with the conductor, the announcer introduces the conductor and I start on to the stage but they indicate I should wait until my turn. There are no curtains and everyone can already see me so i wonder why I should wait.

    9. 2015-01-08 freaky spider, karate class, girl's shorts are down!

      by , 01-08-2015 at 10:00 AM
      *Two* holiday parties tonight, lots of sweets, wine, champagne, cake. To bed around 2-3am? Don't feel particularly buzzed but wake up with a small hangover feeling. Lots more dreaming than listed here, a number of the scenes around the school (karate, girl shorts, menu item) faded away.

      Looking forward to the end of the festivities and getting back to a solid schedule! Still several more days to go.

      + huge tarantula / crab spider catches a big fly in my parent's living room, I'm terrified/fascinated

      I'm walking from the living room to the dining room towards the kitchen in my parent's house, and I stop in my tracks because I see a rather large fluffy fly just sort of floating there in the air, I look closer and see it's caught in a spider web that stretches in a line along the path I'm walking. I think at first I should just swipe it down but think then that I should let the spider eat it. I look and see another insect, like a large wasp, to the right of the fly about 6 inches, also caught in a web. Then I think about the spider and I see it down a long tube of web, it moves to pick up the fly. The spider is *really* large and freaky looking, like a fist-sized tarantula, how'd a tarantula get here? I never really get a good look at it but I see what looks like a large crab's claw on the front. I call to my wife to let her know about this several times, I keep looking at the spider to get a better look.

      + karate class, where's my yellow belt?

      Walking towards P.E. class, it's a karate class. There are other students around me, seems like a college class. I'm wearing my white ghi and so are the other students, you're supposed to come wearing the belt you achieved from previous karate classes. I look down and see I'm wearing a belt, too, but it's a white belt. Where's my yellow belt? I earned in in that class I took long ago. Should I go and get it? Will we have to demonstrate the "moves" we learned when we earned the belt?

      All the students are now arranging themselves in rows and columns on a large outdoor field, standing on large white plastic tarps, about 2 students per tarp, I'm towards the back and there's a guy to the front of me, I am remembering punches, blocks, and kicks, and perform them. The kicks are supposed to have a nice "snap" to them, and I do a nice snappy front kick. I try some side kicks but I can't quite achieve the "snappiness" that I want to.

      I sort of have to go to the bathroom. The field is along a fairly busy street to the left, and across the street is a gas station, will I have time to run there and get back before class starts?

      Class starts and someone introduces the teachers, they're fairly well-known, I see them moving into view, they're sort of short and dark/hairy.

      + following the girl who's shorts are way down in back

      I'm walking along and come upon a girl who's also walking and my eye is caught by the fact that her butt is fairly exposed, so I fall into line behind her and follow her and enjoy the view. We go up some stairs, and reach some branches in the path and I keep on behind her, I notice that this is actually the way I wanted to go so she shouldn't be freaked out but I don't want to be too creepy so I decide at one point to stop following her. I notice her short shorts are rolled up in a bunch and really showing off her behind nicely.

      + the menu for today reads "noodles here"

      There is a folder, I reach inside it for the menu plan for the week, and pull it out. There are lots of words (that seem fairly clear/easy to read), today's item is "noodles heure".

      + trying to enter the forbidden area on a powered scooter/sled

      There's a fence and there's a higher obstacle. The obstacle is specially designed to be 4 inches higher than the scooter/sled thing can jump. I think about trying to get in anyway but there are probably guards.

      + messing with the guy watering my parents' front yard

      Turn on and off the water and the electricity, the flow of water out of the hose stops and starts. I turn off the electricity thinking that shouldn't affect the hose, but realize there's a pump attached to the hose so it does indeed turn off the water, I turn it back on.

    10. 2015-01-04 lots of dreams, vivid

      by , 01-06-2015 at 10:50 PM
      Marathon night of sleep and dreaming.

      + noodle cook: he's witching to language studies, I wonder how practical that will be

      + neighbor's garage sale/giveaway: did the crowd also take all our stuff by mistake?; ornamental grape trees in the front garden

      I'm exiting my garage and I see that on my neighbor's front lawn there is a lot of junk there. Everything's free, there are a lot of cars pulling up. I notice later that the things in front of my house are also gone, but I was not participating in the giveaway. Nothing's left, I see just a small folder on the grass, I wonder if the people came and took all my stuff, too.

      Walking through a front garden, I'm looking at the trees, they are "ornamental grape trees," I look at them and some are thick-trunked with clusters of grapes growing out of the bark in places, not very many. A gardener is there and he's talking about the trees.

      + casino: they picked my pocket at the game table(!), casino security department, gun battle on escalator, I demand my stuff back

      I'm at a casino table, it's an exciting game, there's a lot of action, there are two people there sort of playing along with me.

      I walk away from the table and check my waist bag, and something's wrong. I open the wallet area zipper, the passport zipper, and check for my phone, they're *all gone*. I check several times. I "remember" that at some point those two people playing the game with me at the table bumped into me, they must have picked my pocket! I'm screwed losing these critical things.

      I talk to a security guy, the subject of calling the cops comes up. He escorts me back to the security area. It's a huge open "behind the scenes" area with a lot of "agents" walking around, there are screens in there in various cubicles. I wonder if the criminals know just how many undercover security guys there are, they're everywhere in this area, walking around.

      I'm in a gun battle with a guy on a group of side-by-side escalators, ducking down to avoid the fire, I'm in the upper area.

      I get my hands on the guy (the criminal or the cop) who I think has my wallet and passport, and I'm screaming at him to give me my stuff back.

      + racquetball gym: they wasted all that front lobby space, could have made a few more courts

      WBTB

      + swimming in "Tahoe", find swiss army knife, hold the girl up for a better view of the swim tubes; confused about RSVP for JT's gourmet steak party which we can't attend, wife like's my corn chowder

      I'm at "Lake Tahoe" going swimming. I'm standing on the shore looking down at the rocks/pebbles, and I see (my?) swiss army knife there, I pick it up because I wanted it recently and it's not in my bag any more. I'm getting ready to dive into the water, I invite someone to come with me, they come up and push me and I dive into the water. Oh, my, there's a submerged boulder there I barely avoid wacking my head into it and manage to jump over it. Underwater I'm looking for crayfish expecting to see some under the boulders but don't see anything.

      I'm swimming around to the right parallel to the beach and I see a serious of water park tubes with swimming-pool water in them snaking through the lake. I pick up a girl in a one-piece swimsuit and lift her up high so she can look into the tube. My arms are wrapped around her body at the waist level and she looks down at me briefly with an exasperated expression on her face like she thinks this is inappropriate contact but doesn't complain more. It feels nice to hold her like this.

      Back up above the beach I'm looking at the scene and think that yes this sort of looks like "it used to," but not exactly.

      Sitting on a terrace with my wife, JoTy, his wife DaTy. Wife D looks short and round and not at all like herself, J looks sort of like himself. The conversation is about RSVPing for their fancy gourmet steak barbecue party. I'm firmly denying that I could not have RSVPd for it because I don't live there any more and since I don't I couldn't and wouldn't have RSVPd, which would have caused them to have to buy too much steak. I was confused and wasn't sure if I had RSVPd or not. I'm sad that I won't be able to attend. My wife consoles me by saying she likes my corn chowder, who needs fancy steak.

      + GS's Texas million-dollar house pool party, his wife rejects my hug, the heat is dry at least

      I'm arriving at GS's Texas house, it's at the end of a street, the grass out front is colorful, there are adobe walls, it's my first time here! I see G's wife D, and reach to give her a hug, but she holds up her right arm in front of her sideways across her body as a barrier to deny my hug, she has a "don't do that" face. I'm hurt and surprised by this. I then notice that she's pretty flat-chested, that's a change, she used to have an enormous bust, maybe she got reduction surgery? She turns around and I get a view of her butt in her once-piece swimsuit (which is sort of shiny bronze colored), it's a pretty tight sexy-looking butt I realize. I reach for G to give him a hug.

      I'm walking around the pool area clockwise. I notice some lounge chairs in very small areas of shade on dry grass, there's not much shade here. About half-way around the pool I comment on the heat: I feel the warmth, it's not humid. I say/think that "here in Austin there's a dry heat".

      I completed the circle around the pool, and I see a large pile of pool lounges stacked on top of each other. Someone asks what they're for, I answer (it's a massage table?). I see that some of the lounges are slipping down into the pool so you can lie on them while floating in the pool.

      + some plot with some young kids, one says "I like <my name>" as I walk by; in the hotel room, the (mother-in-law?) is looking sexy in her suit and wants to go to the sauna

      The mother in law is wearing a one-piece swimsuit. There is a sliver of aereola showing on her left breast, her chest looks quite nice. She thinks that as long as we're at a resort she should go to the sauna

      + fighting the evil dead flag monster, put on his shirt

      There's a flag hanging down above a doorway. I swing a sword at it. Once, twice. After each swing there is a loud scream and I look over to the computer to see the status of the evil (undead?) monster which I am fighting by hitting its flag. I take a third swing but I think this is unnecessary, I've already beat it. The shirt of the monster will float down now and I can put it on. I wonder if I look in a mirror wearing this shirt if I'll look like a skeleton?

    11. 2015-01-06 sexy soylent green, orchestra auditions, "I'm sleeping, not dead!", The Phase success(?)

      by , 01-06-2015 at 10:44 AM
      (early)

      + (f) selling stock?

      + kissing the move star

      In an open top car, a beautiful (movie star?) has her face up close to mine filling my vision, I kiss her several times (quick pecks)

      + saving child from car, "help me out!", sharp pipe dangerously close to "the family jewels"

      I'm in the back seat of a car, driver's side, pulling a (child?) out to safety, I'm opening the door and pushing it with my body/arm, another (shiny blue?) car is pushed up against our car making it hard to get out, I sort of shove the blocking car a bit away. I ask "help pull me out!" to some (friends?) standing nearby, and they grab my left arm and slowly I emerge from the car. While they're doing this I look down and I see a severed vertical metal pipe with very sharp edges (like a traffic sign pole) move directly underneath my crotch, I'm barely making it over the pipe and I really hope that my friends do not drop me, I anticipate contact but it never comes. Once outside of the car I'm talking with people.

      + (long) invitation-only complex, sexy soylent-green

      I'm approaching a very fancy complex in the distance, the entire area is invitation-only a famous guy must first invite you in but I go in anyway, along a walkway up to a mall-like complex. It's dark-ish outside. Approaching, there are several different "stores" there, all with writhing sexy people in them. The one on the right is "the hall of bestiality" which holds no interest for me. The one on the left seems like a strip-club of some sort and there's a line of people waiting to get in. One by one sexy women in skimpy outfits come out of the club to escort the next customer inside, most of them are dark-skinned. They also have some sort of object with them. One comes out and beckons to me, I do not find her particularly attractive and I see that she is carrying a large roll of something that I think she wants to wrap me in, I do not care either for her or the idea of getting wrapped but I do want to get inside the club, so I go with her.

      She starts wrapping me in something in between cellophane and thin styrofoam packing, it doesn't hold well around my body and I have to hold it up to keep it from falling away and exposing me.

      She escorts me to a shower area, there are a row of about 5 showers there with doors on the front, the two on the ends have higher doors then the ones in the middle, we approach the one on the right and it's in use but the guy in there leaves and moves to one of the middle ones, I go in and take a short shower, I see and feel the water.

      Next she escorts me (I'm always being led from place to place) through a room that looks like some sort of industrial kitchen. I think "oh man I hope they're not preparing us to eat", I have a thought of soylent green and wonder if we're being prepared as some sort of food items.

      In another room a man gives a bunch of directions for how the "customers" should be prepared, including applying 0.5 volts of electricity to their heads for 30 minutes. I'm thinking we may never get out of here.

      My wife is being also escorted around by a young man (Jeff?), she mentions how she likes it so much but that she (realizes it's not genuine?).

      (late)

      + orchestra strings audition; "don't follow me!", "I'm sleeping, not dead" @ grandparents house, buxom girl asks me incomprehensible questions, kids take pictures of dead body and post on internet

      I'm observing a youth orchestra rehearsal, the cello/bass section are holding live auditions for moving up in the section, I see and hear various young female cello players playing a solo selection from a very familiar piece (can't name it), and they are dragging the bows across the strings to get double-string sounds very artistically, I think about this for a moment. I wonder if the bass players will also audition. I wonder if the auditioners will immediately move up in their sections or not. Then the orchestra (string section only) starts accompanying the auditioning soloists with very fast tremolo.

      One of the young female musicians gets up and says "do NOT follow me, absolutely under no conditions should anybody come after me!" and a runs down the street. Well, I think, saying it like that is just begging to be followed, haha, so I say "come on, guys, let's go!" and run down the sidewalk after her. I have some notion that she was going to / or had encountered a dead body. We arrive at the driveway to my grandparent's house where there is a youngish woman lying in an open coffin, apparently dead. I'm looking at her and I start to see movement, breathing, her head's moving, she's not dead apparently! She opens her eyes and looks around but remains lying there, she says "not dead -- sleeping."

      I'm moving through a large crowd of people on the driveway by the front door but there are too many people, so I go inside the house squeezing in the front door. Inside in the living room I see a youngish woman lying on her stomach on a couch with her head facing me, propped up on her elbows, she has large breasts which are hanging down and resting on the couch, a few stretch marks and no nipples visible. She seems familiar and I walk by her to the left and acknowledge her by briefly patting her head as I go by, she has bronze/brass-colored hair (with two short pigtails?). She (grabs my hand?) and turns and says something to me, she is not very pretty I realize, and I think that I've gotten together with another girl and hope this one isn't hurt by that.

      I'm kneeling down by the couch and her arm is resting on my leg, and I reciprocate and rest my right arm on top of hers, I feel the contact/warmth. She asks me something I just can't understand, something like "How are you outside? And Inside? (meaning location, relative to this house)" but I just can't make it out and ask her twice more and each time she repeats the same barely comprehensible thing.

      Back outside the house? I hear/think that my kids have taken pictures of some dead body in an open coffin and posted them on the internet, I think this is entirely inappropriate and intend to tell them so.

      + (The Phase success? lucid in the void?) power flight through structures, avoid titan, @parent's house waking at sunset, getting a slice of chocolate cake from the fridge (sister)

      This is possibly my first successful "The Phase" attempt. I have tried once or twice earlier in the night but didn't find any success with it.

      Clearly, *something* happened.

      I'm lying on my right side and I realize I'm awake. I try to immediately separate by visualizing myself lunging out of bed but nothing happens. I then quickly visualize rotating on my vertical axis, hmm, something seems to happen, not sure, I move to attention to visual, and I see something like a pamphlet appear, so I "push" into this vision, and I feel like I've "entered" a scene very much like "getting lucid" feels like, and still see the pamphlet but a bit closer and more like "dream" vision. I think I've entered the dream state! But the pamphlet vanishes and I'm left with no visuals. I feel my wife moving in the bed but I remain in this dream like state in the void.

      Then suddenly I hear a roaring grow in my ears, it gets extremely loud and it feels like my whole body is shaking. It subsides and then repeats, even more intense, sort of unpleasant, but I stay with it hoping it will lead to a dream (could already have been the dream in retrospect), but it subsides.

      So I imagine a dream location I want to appear in and start flying, eventually I enter a non-lucid flying dream, I have some sort of girl on my back whom I'm showing around, I'm gliding at first but switch to powered flight, think about skimming the rooftops of the tall buildings downtown and impressing her, then there are some large reddish structures around, very tall, and I'm flying below and among the large shapes which look like red construction cranes. Some sort of giant (really big, bigger than the cranes) being appears and (starts shooting bolts of energy around?). I evade and head back the way I came.

      I'm in my parent's house, I just got up, I'm in the living room, everybody else is still asleep, I look out the window and see a colorful sunset, my God, did everybody sleep through the entire day?

      I go into the kitchen, thinking about food, don't see anything good, look in the fridge, and see on a lower shelf slightly hidden a plate of what looks like a white frosted cake with yellow (pineapple?) chunks in it, I take this out and it is actually a collection of many different slices of different takes with very ornamental frosting on top, I'm selecting a piece, I decide on a chocolate piece and am trying to scoop it out but can't. My sister appears and says something like how it takes so much effort to make these cakes and it nobody eats it she won't bother, I say that I like it. I see a piece lying on its side with chocolate chips spread through the cake piece.

      Tough night. WBTB around 5:30, had some recall but lost it, can't get back to sleep
      Get up around 8? Head to kitchen with laptop waiting to get sleepy again, after about an hour come back to bed, and sloooooowly, slooooooowly, slooooooowly head towards sleep. It takes forever. I'm getting SO CLOSE to sleep but not making the transition, mind's just too active. I get a hypnic jerk at one point. Try on both sides, back, get close but no sleep. Decide to bring out "the nukes", the position of last resort, on the stomach. Head to the right of the pillow, and yes it works its magic yet again, I get a short dream:

      + attacked by a gypsy pick-pocket gang, I throw an elbow at a guy who's grabbing my backpack and I wake up from the movement.

      I'm walking and look down and see my waist bag is open, I'm concerned this may attract thieves so I'm working on zipping it shut. I notice that I'm in a small crowd of dark gypsy looking guys in dark clothing, they're starting to swarm around me and I'm very aware of this, I stop walking and take a step back but the really short guy stops too and stays close to me, I feel another guy go around my back and grab my backpack, I throw a powerful right elbow around to take him out and this movement wakes me up, perhaps partially moving in bed.

      OK that was a dream, finally. Switch my head to the left side of the pillow and fall back asleep.

      + in school, unmarked doors, looking for French class, nervous about the French competition

      I'm on the ground floor of a school building, I'm with a female classmate, feels like high school age-wise. I'm looking for my French class, I think it's around this place but on the upper floor. We go up the stairs and at the top of the stairs is an unmarked door, painted black. You just have to know it's a door there's no other indication. I say to the girl, "I've been here a while and I still can't get used to this (hidden) doors!" I push the door open and you have to step carefully over the door jam on the bottom which is at least 6 inches tall extending up from the ground.

      We're walking down the hallway and I'm looking for Madame "R"'s room (junior high French teacher) I think it's the next room to the left. I poke my head into the room tentatively and there's a class with a teacher there, I think I see French words on the blackboard, I ask, "C'etait Francais?" Then I ask in a different foreign language since I can't think of the right French words, "which class level?" They answer "fifth," I'm beyond that level so I move on down the hallway.

      There's a French competition and I must participate, I'm nervous because I know my vocabulary has really fallen behind so I won't do well.

      + in a 2nd floor room with glass walls wearing a towel, view of a crowded plaza down below, kids on the ledge, I kick them out, one follows me back in; back out again, topless waitress in the crowd; walking among the buffet tables

      I'm standing in a room wearing just a towel, and I look out through the glass window/walls and see there's a crowd of people walking around on the level below. I approach the glass to look better but I see there are a bunch of young people sitting on the ledge, some of them turn back to look at me. Then they get up and enter the room but there's no open window. I'm angry with them they use this room like a thoroughfare to get out on to the ledge. I shoo them all outside then re-enter my room. One of them follows me in and I'm annoyed by this at first, but then a lightbulb goes off and a pretty lengthy "fun time" follows. Transition/wake? after a while

      Transition/Afterwards, I'm walking outside among people, checking out some busty ladies wearing bikinis? on the other side of the glass wall. One really massively endowed (waitress?) is pulling her skimpy bikini top forwards adjusting herself and I get an eyeful before she makes eye contact and I'm shy and avert my gaze. She replaces the top which barely still covers things.

      Walking through a serious of tables laid with a lot of food, some of it quite strange. I either replay or walk around again looking at the stuff again.

      + (lucid) making out with a a pretty blue-eyed blonde who keeps getting too tall.

      I'm walking through a crowd which is facing me. I looking at faces to choose a pretty girl, at some point I get lucid. I'm looking at a brunette but behind her a pretty blue-eyed blonde grabs my attention (interesting, I'm mostly a brunette guy these days), get that "zing" feeling. Walk up to her, she's standing on my left now, and she's *tall*. Heck, she's practically a head taller than *me* (I'm over 6 feet), "you're tall!" I say. I put my hands around her shoulders backwards facing her and pull down on her shoulders to make her shorter. When she's below my head I take her into my arms and kiss her for a bit. Pull back, walking through the crowd "to my room" for privacy, forget that it will take too long, kiss her again, she's tall again, pull her down to make her short again, kiss some more, really feel the lip contact well, dream fades and I wake up moving my lips a bit haha….

      After trying to go back in for a bit I go over the dreams again and a get up, it's now 12 noon. Yes it took me that long to get back to sleep. But I'm stubborn.

      I've decided I'm going to keep doing this unit I learn how to fall asleep quickly. I "found" a feeling of mind/body at one point that was very relaxing, mostly concentrating on the breath. I will continue searching for this.

      WBTB is the key clearly to LDing, and I will get much much more into it in 2015.

      I entered 2014 with a LD on January 1st, and I'm leaving 2014 with a lucid on December 31st. Great way to lead into 2015 which will be a banner year for LDing for me I know! Finish of my first full calendar year LDing.

    13. 2014-12-22 long long night catching up on sleep, dream, try Raduga's The Phase on wakings

      by , 12-22-2014 at 08:46 AM
      Halfway through (4 hours into) a really early to-bed night (7:30pm!)

      + talking to a girl/bunch of girls on Ol near FL, one is named "Yuna". One is alone at first and I try to get her to follow me, but she's hesitant. She waits for the group to join her and then I approach and ask them their names, and start to get closer to them and the dream fades.

      + walking through the village with naked / bathing girls, threatening atmosphere, stuck in entrance area; super windy weather, strange pyramid sailboat; Breaking bad's Walt is in chains and body-invades another prisoner and watches the face change

      + super high security home, toothpick security cameras bristle from the ceilings and are even on the mirrors in the bathroom, the security guards scan for unfamiliar faces

      I'm standing at a bathroom sink it's fairly dark, inspecting the mirror, the mirror has strange features and I'm trying to figure them out: it's a multi-section mirror and I do not recall seeing any reflection. There are tiny bead-sized "mirrors" I think, capturing the image and reflecting it in zig-zag diagonal order back and forth up the face of the mirror and finally into a small video camera at the upper-right corner of the mirror, this goes to the security system.

      In a open dining room/kitchen area with a large island, some women are there, I notice poking down out of the ceiling everywhere a forrest of little spines, toothpick-thin with tiny video camera beads on the end of them. They send images of faces to the security guards for constant review. I wonder if they'll come for me since even though I'm here with people who are obviously not scared of me, I'm not registered in the system, the woman says she will call and notify them that I'm OK.

      + in upper level of two-level gym, checking out hot girls below, I say "If you stand in front of the guys with muscles, it seems like the girls down below are looking up and smiling at you"; fight at the gym between two black guys with briefcases, one messed up "all the orders" of the other one

      I'm doing bicep curls in a gym with a barbell. It's an upstairs area with a big glass wall (dream sign) overlooking a large lower gym area. My area is multi-level like large steps with a bunch of people around me and above/behind me also working out. I'm appreciating 3 super hot girls (exaggerated body part sizes?) in the front/right area of the gym floor below. I come out of this room to a side area and I'm exclaiming with happiness/smiling that I've figured something out: "If you stand in front of the guys with muscles, when the hot girls smile at them you think they're smiling at you!", I have a thought that this is sort of pathetic.

      + with college friends, DD is young and pregnant and showing nice cleavage, she greets me warmly then I notice her fairly exposed bust and exclaim, "Hell Yeah!"

      + at the busy train tracks intersection, cut leg on ragged edge of screen mat, guy wants to share mat, weird lizard twiggy chest muscle-man in the garden, another guy shows me the way out, the path is ankle deep in sliced tomatoes.

      A group of us are approaching the major intersection, it is a crossing where a train/vehicle tube approaches from the left and continues on the right, but at the crossing the tube is cut away so the cross street can go across. I run up to the intersection with a folded up section of screen-door screening and I cut the left side of my lower left leg on the exposed jagged edge, I look down and I see a 1.5 inch cut in the pre-bleeding stage, just a few spots of red. Waiting for the cross traffic (fast cars/vehicles) to clear away they're moving from left to right, I think this is a dangerous intersection, don't want to get too close to the traffic. After the vehicles pass I see a group of people running after the cars. We "go" and turn right and start running with the flow. We're carrying these mats (mine made of screen material) so that we can "run on them" and it will allow us to go faster. A guy approaches from my right and asks me if I can use my "???" (screen), I say no I have none to spare. We're running to the left side I'm trying to choose the right path. My wife is behind me and tosses an empty sack to the guy and says here to use it as his "running mat".

      I enter a little garden area with a muscle-y guy who takes off his shirt, I expect to see standard muscles but his chest is bizarre: instead of regular pectorals, his upper chest is covered with raised, lizard like "chicklet" small square bumps about 1/4 to 1/2 an inch on the side, slightly orange-ish colored. His main "pecs" are made up of a tangle of short twigs raised up over his skin, it's really weird. Another guy offers me a way out of this garden, a short curving-to-the-left little path to the right up out of the area, I walk in it and it is ankle-deep in sliced tomatoes.

      edit: 2-3 hour "WBTB" then back to sleep (2am), up 10am

      tons of dreams, lots of wakings, lots of "The Phase" attempts, probably only half of dream scenes remembered, very vivd/"present" but no lucidity

      Probably at least 6 or more The Phase separation attempts during late morning on and off dozing (usually my best time for lucids), mostly the rotating visualization, once I got a bit of a strange feeling and a bright flash of HI but it subsided quickly. Each time returned to a dream, non-lucidly.

      + checking wife into hospital ("short term/long term?/allergy?"), expensive ($3600 total, $2511 after insurance). The clerk is a young Asian man seated on the other side of a counter. I'm here to check in my wife. He asks "long term or short term?" I know it's not long term but I want the possibility of overnight if needed, so he says "allergy (check)". Several more questions/answers, and he pronounces the bill is around $3600 total and $2511 out of pocked for me. I think that insurance (Obamacare?) is barely helping at all and we may forego treatment entirely with that bill.

      + fixing something in a tangle of 2 women, "give me the screwdriver"; medical exam of young woman who's bleeding slightly from every toenail (& tooth?), touch her (ahem).

      There is a woman doctor checking out the young woman who says "it hurts," and the young woman's mother, I'm lying with the young woman on a bed under the sheets while she's being examined. At one point the doctor/mother leave and I ask the YW where it hurts, and she takes my hand and places it firmly on her genital area. It feels unrealistic, like a thin layer of skin over a hard artificial surface underneath.
      Spoiler for explicit:
      . The doctor/mother come back and I quickly move to pull up the panties of the YW, and make a gesture like i'm pulling mine up as well, and I think this arm-gesture is well-understood and they'll know that I'm pulling up my underwear under the sheets. They inspect the girl some more and this is where I see the spots of dried blood on top of every toenail, and I feel relief that attention is diverted away from what we were just doing.

      + find my kids socks lying in the gutter in the parking lot of a stripmall, enter sports store to buy underwear, $68 / pair, jersey/jockey confusion

      Driving in a car turning from an intersecting cross street to the right on to a long large street of endless strip malls like El Camino Blvd. in silicon valley. I stop and get out and cross the sidewalk into the parking lot. I look down and see a few pairs of socks in the gutter/edge/curbe of the parking lot, I look at these for a while and am trying to figure out if these were my kids' socks that I'd been looking for for a while. One pair is medium-dark army green.

      I enter the sports store and I want to buy a pair of underwear. There are bins and shelves all around. Sales guy comes up and I tell him I want to buy a pair of jockey briefs, "short" and he leads me to a display. The material is dark (black) with lots of dark but colorful vertical stripes (green, gold, etc.). I can't tell the shape of the thing. The guy indicates it's $68/pair, I'm astonished at the price. I say I wanted jockeys, not a jersey, maybe he's showing me a sports shirt for the gym.

      + drive down hill steering locks up park without collision, talk to guys who's plants I slightly ran over, where's the hospital/DMV, buildings in distance, narrow vegetable store shortcut, buy something to be polite, $36 eggplant, wallet

      I'm driving down a hill daytime in our old white minivan. The steering wheel stops responding, it's locked up like when parking, I think this is because I've committed some driving infraction and the police have locked my steering wheel. I'm amazed I haven't crashed yet. There is a tiny bit of play in the wheel and I keep driving maneuvering around a bit, but don't have enough control. I pull over to the left curb and apply the brakes card and come to a stop just barely before hitting a parked (motorcycle?) where a guy is about to get on and start. I get out and he comes to me saying how I almost hit him and I'm repeatedly telling him that my steering wheel locked up and I had no choice/ no control. I'm standing on the sidewalk looking at my van, the rear left wheel is up on the curb and near some plants with colorful (purple?) knarled roots. The owner of this plant (another guy) is standing besides me and talking about how I slightly ran over his "?????" plant, and I say believe me, the last place I want to be is on your "????" plant.

      I ask the way to the DMV/hospital(?), I say (sort of [false memory] remember) "is it there beyond the freeway" which I see in the distance. No, they say it's that building there, I see two building much closer, large, cube-shaped, multistory & tall (10-12), light tan/peach colored, with castle-like ornamentation on the upper floors.

      I'm walking towards them to pay my fine and unlock the steering wheel of my mini-van.
      Enter a small market, I need to get to the other side, a friendly vegetable stand vendor (Asian woman) beckons me to walk through her stall, it's long and very narrow. I see vegetables on shelves all around me, there's a long basket of (olives?) in my way, she raises it up so I can get by and I'm concerned that they will fall out. The way is long and narrow, I'm thinking as I approach the end and the sidewalk on the other side that I should buy something in appreciation. I turn around and stand at the counter, I'm asking about bunches of purple peppers, I ask "are these hot peppers?" (I like hot peppers). They turn into small eggplants as I'm watching. She gives me a price (tag?) of $36. I'm astounded, $36 for 2 small eggplants?! No way. I say maybe $9 or $10 if in a really fancy store, but I think more like $5 is appropriate.

    14. 2014-12-19 medium length multi-scene

      by , 12-19-2014 at 09:00 PM
      Yay, a coherent multi-scene nicely recalled dream:

      + czech orchestra & many conductors; Missouri conservatives; football; old dog & young kid, dog enters neighbor's yard, go get him, talk about kids schooling; high school outdoors hot dog lunch

      Czech orchestra:
      I'm walking through an atrium-like open indoor space. I hear an orchestra playing. I hear them making some mistakes, they're perhaps a student or an amateur orchestra. As I walk through the crowd of white people standing around (most are women/girls), I notice that a bunch of them are moving their arms like they're conductors to the orchestra, just standing there in the crowd, however. One of them is a small girl. They are speaking a slavic language, but it's not Russian. It turns out they're Czech.

      Missouri conservatives:
      I'm standing at a table near a (glass) wall/window (dream sign) with a group of men. I know that we're in Missouri. I see their faces, they look normal. One has a sweater on. I think they're pretty conservative. We're standing around for a while. The talk moves to football and the TV show. They're astonished that in some places, there is only one broadcast of a football game, they're used to multiple broadcasts where each team's fans can watch the broadcast focused on "their" team.

      Football game:
      kickoff, the kickoff comes down and actually goes out the end zone. Wait, it's a field goal, the kickoff actually scored a field goal! Replay, watch it again, yup the refs hands to up signaling a score. Switch to playing football with a group of small black boys in street clothes, we're pushing a football around and I'm encouraging a small boy to take it and run.

      Old dog:
      I'm holding my old (deceased) dog L in my arms, I'm looking at him and think he doesn't look good: old, sick, he has a large discolored spot on his back. I put him down at his water bowl, I think he's been without water for a long time, I look into the cabinet where he was sleeping and think no water was put there. I think about him trying to drink the water, he's weak but seems to be able to do it. The water is not clean and has bits of food floating in it, I pick up the bowl to empty and refill it in the sink.

      Then my son S1 is there as a small boy and makes a funny non-sense rhyme, and I rhyme back to him in nonsense words.

      I notice through the dining room glass window (real memory of old home) that dog L has just trotted out the front door. I move to follow him, I notice that there are a lot of piles of leaves around the porch but that a large, regular rectangular area covering most of the porch has had the leaves cleaned off.

      I follow dog L and think how much I'd love to walk with him like this one more time, just him and me (semi-lucid thought?)

      Dog L enters a gate into a neighbor's yard (false memory), I follow, at the gate I see the woman owner is there, I make a hand gesture movement indicating "can I come in?" I apologize for the dog coming in, I pick him up. There is a teen girl in the yard at a well(?)

      Start walking down a flight of steps and am talking with (neighbor man?) about schools, he says "your boys probably go to <such and such> school?" I say "no we had them in school but then homeschooled them, but when they were in school (we made sure they had a flexible schedule?). Then "when you're 16 and 18 you've got it made in the shade."

      Walking along a concrete division, the other guy is a high school student. We're walking in the wide-open court of the high school, it's lunch time, in the distance I see a high school boy sitting at a table with a large plate mostly empty but with a few scraps of hot dog/sausage on it.

      Approaching the hot dog stand the cook is serving up hot dogs, at first I see what look like chili dogs, as I step up to the table I see there are chili dogs and a giant corn dog, a deep-fried hot dog about 2 feet long, 3x in diameter fof a normal hot dog. The cook starts slicing the hot dog in half along its long axis, I wake up.

    15. 2014-12-12 geometric storm, microwave reflections, cooking class, robot hospital

      by , 12-12-2014 at 06:53 AM
      + (f) (vague [early ones seem to always be vague when I don't record]) in a dark place, warehouse? large shapes falling like dominoes

      + atrium geometric storm, catch the weird robotic bug, use its "seed" for manufacturing something(?)

      I'm at work(?) it's a large atrium with glass walls (dream sign) and plants. Outside there is a big storm coming (WL news), I see it arrive, huge dark clouds but they're geometric shapes, big dark-lead-grey almost black geometric chunks of clouds with numerous hemi-spheres descending from the bottom like an egg carton.

      I'm approaching a tree / clump, we need to catch something in there. I look to find a stone I can stand on to get high enough but don't find one, someone else knocks the weird bird/bug out of the tree, it slips through my hands, but I manage to separate it into two pieces. It looks mechanical, it's two parts join via a metalic joint. But the body feels squishy and I'm nervous about touching it. The hind section has what we need, I open it up (?) and take out a capsule, some discussion of using this to produce something.

      + plumbing fail: water/sand is shooting out everywhere: washing machine

      Trying to turn off faucets that are spewing water and sand.

      + microwave reflections: I'm "drunk?", female coworkers nude selfies in profile

      I'm at work, I'm trying to find my station there. There's a long row along one side of the room extending around a 90-degree angle where 2 walls meet. I'm looking down one row looking at name tags and see that each station has a microwave oven for cooking lunch. At the end of the row to the left the microwaves get tiny, barely big enough for a sandwich, I hope that's not my station, it's not. Around the corner I think I see my full name written. I'm looking into the reflection in the microwave oven, is it a reflection or a picture? I see somebody, face familiar, middle-aged, curly hair (is it me?) but the face has a lot of cracks in it like an old oil painting. I look at this face for a while trying to determine if it's me. I ask "is that me?" Somebody answers "yeah, you look like that when you're drunk." The scene changes to naked female figures in profile, they're of my "coworkers," I wonder why they took those pictures. Just a hint of the rosy colored nipples are visible on the breasts. There's a sequence of different girls all similarly posed in profile, standing, I think there's something in that room that makes girls want to take pictures like that.

      + cooking class: undercooked chicken sandwich, pigeon pie (poor things are live to start with)

      I'm at a table in a room of tables arranged like a class-room, it's a cooking class. I'm preparing some raw chicken which sort of oozes off of the table and plops on the floor. Should I wash it? We're going to cook it after all. I'm eating a chicken sandwich and enjoying it. Some other class participate, a boy, mentions the "undercooked chicken sandwich." I don't think MINE is undercooked. But I look down at a chunk of chicken in my hand, and I turn it over and indeed it is pink on the bottom, not raw, but definitely undercooked.

      The teacher announces the next lesson is "pigeon pie." I look down at the corner of a table and see a (dead? dying) medium sized bird lying on its side, fully feathered, is it a pigeon? Doesn't look like any bird I know. I see it moving, it's still alive do we have to kill them? There are a couple of women seated at a table filled with bags or live pigeons. They take them into their hands and wring their necks. First they milk out of the rear-end a quail-egg-sized egg, put the egg on the table, then wring the neck of the bird. The teacher says "don't feel sorry for the birds." I think that you must get the egg before killing the bird or the egg won't come out.

      + robot hospital: massive complex, waiting for help at the terminals, inspecting bottles of dreaming supplements(!), see son S1 who's playing a game

      Walking down a hill and turning a corner to the right outside in daytime. People are walking in the streets, there's a large building up ahead and to the left. I'm trying to find the pharmacy, I ask a woman about the pharmacy. The people seem not quite right. Inside, it's a HUGE buiding it's a hospital, I need to register and check in (my wife is pregnant?). I look down a loooooong high open atrium area, easily 100 yards long or more, I think wow this is a huge place. The place I'm in has a group of people waiting in front of a line of complex computer terminals with large screens, the line makes a 90 degree turn. Helpers are coming up and meeting the waiters and helping them. I look at the helpers and think the people here are strange, it's like they're all robots. Nobody's coming to help me. I'm seated and looking at containers in front of me, I look at one it contains some sort of granules, I read the label and it says something like "...... / VPIKT" I think "ah, yes, I've heard of that, it's a supplement for lucid dreaming". Well, still nobody is coming to assist me so I stand up and walk farther down the atrium and I see my son S1. He's standing at a counter involved in something, paper receipts are falling down? I'm frustrated that he's not actively trying to help get us checked in. I look at his screen and it's a gambling game green background where 3 numbers/things are presented dynamically and you have to guess what will be shown. The view/ my vision then shows my sons's profile view of his head and I look at it and think his nose is a lot more hooked than I remember it being, he's sweating?
