read the dream yoga section (after reading the introductory parts earlier) of "The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep", very excited about the practice. 00:00 Tuesday 2014-08-12 00:17 pre-bedtime. day memory review, set strong intention to LD 00:35 bedtime 03:00 ? awake, hear sounds coming from wife and son in other rooms, a bit concerned about sounds from outside, take off mask and look out the window, BTB. 04:38 +(f) something about a farm? 05:46 LDs #48 and #49, they were awesome + in my room in the night, the door to my room was open, my wife and son (S1) were making noises and they came into my room and turned on the light. S1 wanted to do something with my computer which I needed for work, he wanted to install his own 3d chip into my laptop, I'm upset what are they doing here in the middle of the night, I'm tired, it was like 3am, I didn't want to let him do it, this is my work computer anything you do to it could ruin it. I feel a bit bad about rejecting him so I say "ok you can do it, but for one thing don't come in here at 3am." Then I get a *creepy* phone call, I answer it and I here a voice say "Hey, <my full name>, <something>" (I don't remember what they said but I understood "they" were watching me and weren't friendly), kind of laughing at me, I wondered how they did that. I returned to my bed and saw a low cabinet/closet open in the wall, there were pillow and sheets there, I was taking out some pillows. I'm back in bed and starting to get lucid?... + ... I'm suddenly in my sister's room in my chldhood home looking out into the hallway and am instantly lucid, I went out into the hallway, and started down the stairs. I started thinking about what to do and I decided to summon a DDGSHG I had seen before, and the dream ends... + I'm standing in a hotel lobby in just my underwear because I had locked myself out of my room. There are people in the lobby, the front desk is a circular island in the middle of the room, there are clerks there, I go to the front desk and say I locked myself out of my room. I felt a bit awkward being there in just my underwear (but not very much), they didn't respond to me so I go back to the elevator. The buttons were strange and I wasn't sure if it was actually an elevator or not, it seemed to open into a bathroom, the buttons were all located very low to the ground, they were all lit, I couldn't tell what was going on. I got out and walked through a dining room, I knew it was late at night, there were people eating, at a table, food on a buffet, I saw what I thought were sushi sandwiches, I continued walking by, I walk past a woman who whispers to her companion "that man's in his underwear!" and I angrily respond "Yeah, I know, that happens when you get locked out!" + ... and I'm in bed, "awake", in a dark room, but I thought I could be dreaming still, nose pinch showed that I was still dreaming. I tried to get up out of bed, I could move my arms and legs which went up into the air a bit but my body wouldn't move. OK, if I'm stuck in bed lets summon KS my highschool sweetheart. Should I teleport to the swimming pool where we were on our awesome swimming date? I feel my heartrate start to increase dramatically (either dream or actual, I don't know) at this thought, I know I have to calm down so I decide "forget that." I am able to roll out of bed and I'm standing in the room. It's a small hotel room with a wall-sized window running from floor to ceiling, covered with closed blinds. The orange lights from the city street lamps are leaking through the blinds. I know I'm in a room up high off the ground and there is a city outside. I'm sure I'm dreaming, but I don't want to fall and die so I do another nose pinch, and I step back away from the window to the wall at my back and take a few running steps and stretch my hands out superman style and fly right through the window and blinds out into the orange-tinted cityscape, I'm way up above the ground look down and see people/cars moving on the street, there are other tall buildings all around, I turn towards my right and fly in that direction. There was another big window approaching. I was doing "superman with a go pro" style power bursts of speed by thrusting my fist forwards forcefully, I could feel the acceleration of motion when I did this. There were people around, some were flying, some were on the ground, they were *very bright and vivid*, I was amazed at the visual quality. I do a power fly through this large glass wall, it's into a crystal clear but dark night scene with shining snow falling down. The city scape starts to head up into hills in front of me. I think I should be looking for a woman and I turn around in the air and I see a big bulky woman approaching me, I reach for and squeeze her breasts and she turns into a man with man-boobs, I think "no no no be a beautiful woman" and he turns into a young beautiful woman, her right breast is exposed, it is firm and lovely, I reach to take it into my mouth and I wake up. Takes a long while to get back to sleep but I want more lucids! I feel them in me, just gotta get back to sleep. Takes all my sleep kung fu and concentration but I eventually sleep again. 10:02 + going into a small convenience store. I do something wrong or have stolen something, the store owner gets mad at me, I'm kicked out, I feel lucky to escape with my life. I order lunch at the pizza place (LV) I order the lunch special, one guy goes on an on about how LV is better than the other place LV has the original flavor, I place the order with a guy who's outside. Then I return to this place and I sense it's been a long time since I placed the order but I know that my lunch must be ready, I have the guy I ordered with go and pick it up I think that's better because he has more authority, I hear him talking to the counter, apparently it's not ready yet and that they have to make a second one and give it to me free. Scene inside a house, a small boy is a servant/slave, I see his small boy face, the young man master is preparing to murder the and place him into a box. The slave boy didn't do anything wrong, the master man says "it's just that kind of a thing." I'm observing. The master is wrapping the boy up in tape. Then a guy (from the convenience store gang?) comes up stealthily behind the evil master and sticks a long knife deeply into the bad guy's side, he does that several times. The young master freezes in shock and pain. The young man's family enters at this time into the dining room (on a level above the room we're in) it's a very wealthy family they're shocked at the scene in the living room below them. +(f) PA vs. K (cities)? There are two houses and I see their addresses and say them out loud. +(f) With MR parking a car on HC. Getting something out of the back of his car. + on a floating (in the sky?) boat there's a party prepared for one guy by his gay lover, he walks up the stairway to his lover who is the host and they're going to get down to business. + I see a convenience store mafia guy again in my parents house at a party our eyes meet he has a goatee I nod to him in recognition he doesn't acknowledge me back. Later there's something to do with money, if he gives me back all the money he'll kill me and he starts to give me money and I start to freak out but he only gives me a few coins and decides not to kill me.
big dreaming night again, not lucid though: 00:00 Wednesday 2014-08-13 00:30 pre-bedtime: day memory review, set intention for the night 00:57 bedtime 07:51 + watching from high DO position a video of us moving back into our old house. My wife and I are watching this as a fond memory. The next-door neighbors are moving in too at the same time, so our moving van can't pull exactly in front of our house, it must stay out in the street double-parked in front of the neighbor's house. Neighbor's house is to the right, ours to the left. View starts out to the right of neighbor's house looking forwards/left to our house, and finishes up pointing to the right looking back at the moving van. I see our old dog come out on to the sidewalk and visit the neighbor's dog, they're sniffing each other's noses and are really happy. I see a former manager of mine bringing a load in. Then I see myself skinny in jeans bringing in a load, I've really lost some weight living in that other place for a while. + setting up in a new house, I'm a teen, walking through small but very ornately decorated rooms, ask my "dad" in the office where I can set up my computer, he says do it in my room, mom will tell me where to do it. The desks are like 18th century large ornate wooden desks with cusioned wooden chairs, there are little nooks throughout the cramped rooms. + (all DO) I see a woman lying back on a medical examination table. Spoiler for NSFW: She's naked and her legs are spread, her knees are up and feet are down on the table, and I see a very large penis come up from beneath the table and penetrate her fully, I sort of do a double take and see this again. My view transitions to being inside the woman I have a view of her cervix from inside the womb (a little pink sphincter extending a bit inside from the wall) it's a large industrial setting with lots of scaffolding and things moving around on assembly lines, not fleshy. I think the woman's been tricked and doesn't realize that the physician's attendant put his on penis into her and is having sex with her, instead of her getting the artificial insemination procedure she wanted. I look at her cervix and see a penis tip poke through, and then streams of artificial insemination semen shoot out into her, not from the penis, but from a tube on the side. . This is an artificial insemination procedure. Afterwards, a female attendant leads the woman through a hallway under a series of round lights/indicators, the attendant is shining a flashlight/tool up at t he indicators, and they're lighting up in response (showing the pathway to the waiting room?) as they walk by. In the waiting room there is a buffet of wine, and there are physicians there, a group of them. The woman says she hopes for twins, and the physicians berate her for this wish. The indicator lights (are numbered?) and seem to indicate which of the insemination procedures were successful. The attendant says they do a lot of procedures so at least one will work, I imagine a tool repeatedly entering the patient making a "deposit." The attendant is the woman's advocate, and then a male advocate arrives as well, he's a young man with blonde hair, very energetic. Leaving the waiting room I see the bottle of wine up close, the label has been partially scratched off. They move to another room and sit and I think about these two advocates for the patient. +(f) some NSFW time with a "male toy". Spoiler for NSFW: Is is in the shape of a female mouth with a tongue extending down, the tongue looks like a ladybug: circular with black spots on it, I rub my (ahem) on this "tongue". Later the part hanging down seems to be a woman's hand with fingers. + suicide bomber gas truck/driver in the garage of my childhood home, it's night outside. The driver is standing outside the driver window against the wall of the garage and I'm in the middle of the garage looking in the passenger side window of the cab of the truck, (I'm holding a shotgun pointed at the window?), the guy has left out his final meal of fast food, there are lots of styrofoam take-out containers sitting open with chicken strips, fries, and lots of bright sticky/sweet sauces. I eat some of his fries, dipping them into one of the sauces. Someone up on the street distracts him and the truck is pulled back out to the street above the house. He intends to drive the truck into the house to blow it up, I think what if there is no spark/explosion and the house just gets broken from the truck driving into it, will he be satisfied? + Our family is in a waiting room in an institution with a lot of other people. We're meeting/helping out our foster/adopted daughter. The authorities announce that only one member from each group may enter, so my wife goes in. After some time people are milling around and everybody goes in, I go in too. I see our "daughter" come out, she is a late teen with very pale white skin (not sickly, just no sun, like a redhead can be), she is wearing a wide-brimmed hat, she's walking from my left to my right. I lean over and under her brim to give her a fatherly kiss on the cheek, but because of the hat I get her on the lips instead, we're both a bit embarrassed. + Sitting in a room with Aimee Teegarden (:heart: :heart, I'm preparing to go to the dance, I'm father-aged and she's a teen (not my daughter though), she says she's sick so won't go to the dance. I'm bummed because I wanted a dance with her, I see her long, sexy legs. I ask her to take off one of my socks at least, I'm trying to get them off. She moves across the room and I see her enter a deep sexy kiss with my son, no way can we leave those two alone, I know where that's leading to. She's behaving a bit loopy and I see her pouring something from a little (buiding-shaped) piggy bank into her drink. I think it's alcohol or drugs. + The secretary wants to hire the applicant (who is dark skinned and has a massive bust) immediately, and jumps for joy saying "I get to play with boobies!" and shows the applicant the work salad bar on the other side of the large table from me, with another coworker +(f) I'm taking pictures of a guy the tablet is not behaving correctly, I see the pictures of this guy in a few different places + In school sitting down at open desk, my desk is taken, I think if someone tells me I took their desk I'll say mine was already taken. FF comes and sits down in the column of desks next to me, and it looks like he's going to sneeze on me, I say "I can not get sick!" and hold up my elbow/arm in front of his face to block the sneeze. We need to open our books to a particular story for reading but I can't find the story in my book which turns into a pile of little books. + We're shooting photon torpedoes at the enemy ship, 3 groups of tree, each group hits, I see the blue shining torpedoes fly straight and pass through the hull of the enemy ship (no explosion), the enemy ship starts to sink, we're walking through hallways preparing for battle, we realize we don't know anything about the enemies, we've never encountered their race before (little green men), we must build up our weapons and resources before the enemies arrive here on this planet. I see some rifles lying around they're old-time looking made from lots of wood. I'm setting up a revolver, I'm going to construct a candle and light it on the hammer so that when it hits the pin the flame will ignite the bullet and fire it, I look for approval for this idea. I reach in to extinguish the wick which leads into the cylinder I lick my fingers and pinch the fuse to extinguish it, but I see the flame has spread and now the whole gun is on fire. The emergency services has reached the enemy ship and is towing it now by us. The enemies taunt is as they drive by in a jeep, our captain says he's been preparing for this meeting (for a week?) and is ready. They drive over some of our supplies. Where was this recall when I needed it in the competition?

00:00 Saturday 2014-08-09 01:46 quite tired, drove to the country in traffic, took about 3 hours. 3mg melatonin, alarm set for 3.5 hours (05:15) to sleep kind of slow but not terribly. 05:15 alarm, take 2 x Galamtamind 4mg, 300mg Alpha GPC Not too hard getting back to sleep for once! 07:30 fascinating long nld: "Dreamviews European adventure" featuring: fogelbise, StephL, and "golden lion". Ordering is a bit unclear, but there was a number of scenes: Trip to Europe with fogelbise, giving a presentation at a conference on the subject of brain-operated devices. We're staying at StephL's place. I was confused throughout most of the dream about what I was doing there and what was going on. I'm in the kitchen of a large 1-story home with open floor plan. There is a group of people sitting away from me they're being a bit stand-offish, there is a woman there and I ask someone "is that StephL?" I decide it is. She has thick long dark blonde hair. I return to bed, where fogelbise already is lying under the blankets, and move to get in (we're sharing the bed), but he blocks me and gestures across the room, I see that he's made a bed for me on the floor across the room. I'm a bit confused by this since I had woken up earlier in the same bed with him previously, after all it's not a gay thing we're just sharing the bed, that's all. I see him begin his night-time dream preparations: he's mouthing some mantra and beating his chest rhythmically with one hand. I'm telling fogelbise how I had taken some galantamine, I was confused about the time, wondering if I have time to sleep for it to take effect. I see my cat in the living room, but I didn't bring her kitty toilet, where is she going to go to the bathroom? There's another cat here, are they going to fight? I can't tell what time it is, am I in a different time zone? The (analog) clock on the wall seems to indicate a different time each time I look. The conference is about brain-activated control devices. That's why they invited lucid dreamers. I introduced myself once as "Luke", I couldn't remember my dreamviews handle, then I remembered it and said "FryingMan," and I make jokes about heroes and Hiro saying "FlyingMan" with a bad Japanese accent so it comes out "FryingMan." A middle-aged man introduced himself as "GoldenLion" from dreamviews. Two presenters are using a fascinating electronic multi-layered easel to make a presentation, they built this easel themselves. There is a bright orange 3-d display on the front made up of thousands of little orange plastic rods that can move forwards and backwards to form a display (like the kind of monochrome 3d- graphics the Kryptonians use in "Man of Steel"). The easel is many layers thick I get a view of its operation. At the back of the easel is a place where a large drawing can be stored, one of the two presenters repeatedly pulls out the drawing from the easel so it's visible, and then pushing it back in, then pulling it out again, and putting it back. I'm in a car driving to the conference, it's dark. I'm entering the front seat from the right hand door, I'm confused by the dashboard, where's the steering wheel? I think I find a mini steering wheel very low below the dashboard. Back in StephL's kitchen, talking to fogelbise. There are two strange microwave-oven-like devices: a two-sided mini-refrigerator, that's very handy because you can get at the food on the shelves from either the front or the back. Next to it there is a two-sided refridgerator that turns out is a wine refrigerator with a transparent front door. I see about 6 bottles of white wine lying on their sides within on several shelves . StephL is standing in the kitchen. A guy in the flat is playing a fascinating odd recorder with strange tubes protruding from the main playing tube. I'm looking for a shower and there are large piles of towels and blankets all through the house. 09:10 I"m outdoors across from a large science museum (with dinosaurs and things) there's a large open square between us and the big building, which doesn't have many windows and is really tall and made from concrete and brick. My sons and I are running and jumping, racing across the square, I'm running in a straight line and that means having to jump high (20+ feet) up running over the corners of some structures that lie in my way. We borrow some wheelbarrows/carts from a guy, he's carrying cardboard in them, S2 finds a pair of headphones, S1 wins the race and finds something like a car that he'll be able to sell for a lot of money.

02:08 bedtime 08:14 + pool/billiards stadium, tables different shapes and sizes, balls large + sliding into a locker room to find the tv schedule very threatening man confronts me, Kids trying to see in some room, they can't come down the stairway there's a locked gate door there +(f) walking along a ledge + epic nld (previously secret ) (wrote all this without consulting my notes ) fight: I was visualizing flying while trying to WILD/sleep, and I entered a dream flying. I sensed that an opponent was flying towards me and I summed a force field umbrella shield to occupy the space in front of me. I'm then on the ground, and facing two opponents about 15 feet away. I raise my wrists and out of each one a thin dark purple laser beam fires to hit each one opponent. They're slightly moving and I track each one independently, maintaining the fire on them. Then I advance into their position and see a female DC, and engage in some caveman. trees/theater: I'm in a large indoor area opening on to a small body of water, across the water is a large stand of tall trees (like Eucalyptus) bright in the sun against a blue blue sky, it is beautiful, I want to capture the moment on my camera, I move forwards to the edge of the water because there's an overhanging ceiling and I want to get an unobscured view of the trees. I'm squatting down for the picture and I see that the light has changed and the trees are now not so bright, like they're in shade. Then I see that some trees are now animated momuments with heads on the top of historical figures like America's founding fathers. These columns are growing/shrinking and swaying like trees in the wind. I hear some guy come up behind me to take a picture I hear him say it's a great view, I think he's too late, the light has changed. I get up to leave, a troupe of young actors has entered the area, lots of people, I walk up a stairway leaving the area past a young Asian male actor who's enthusiastically reciting some lines. I'm now indoors, heading down a stairway. Off to the side of the stairway are a few rows about 3-4 seats wide of theater seating. A young woman is seated in one seat next to the stairway, I stop to talk to her. I place my right foot (wearing a shoe) onto the seat back where she's sitting, think that's a bit rude, move it away from her towards the edge of the back of the seat, decide that's still rude and take it away entirely, she reaches up and brushes off the dust from my shoe from the edge of the back of the seat. She starts soliciting me for something, giving me a pitch (something to do with the theater? don't remember), as soon as I figure this out I get antsy and say "no thanks" and continue down the stairs. My way on the stairs is blocked by a large crowd, I need to go down the final flight of steps to the room below, but there's no way. Down below a woman is asking the crowd what kind of drinks she should order. I move to the right of the crowd, there is no banister at the edge of the upper floor, move back to the crowd on the stairs, there's no way through, step to the right and just jump/float down (about 12 feet) to the floor below, some guy is concerned I've fallen but I wave him off, "I do that all the time" I say/think or something similar. planetarium: I'm in a very large round room with a tall ceiling, I'm looking at some sort of science exhibit. A show begins on a curved screen that runs the circumference/perimeter of the room's wall right below the ceiling. The screen is opening wider, wider, reaching 180 degrees wide perhaps, and the show begins. There are individual chairs in the center floor area, haphazardly arranged, I sit to watch the show a bit. I see some stuff on the screen and am entranced, some of it is patterns in 3D. I ball comes flying through the air right to me and I try to catch it with my arms against my chest but I miss and it bounces off to my left on the floor hieroglyphs / artwork: I'm observing a fascinating drawing that is made of letters and symbols. I start making a copy of the original because I want to save it for later (when I wake up? almost lucid). I VERY CLEARLY see the letters and symbols and copy the first few, the original is on the left and my copy is on the right. I'm copying a work of art consisting of chains and spiked balls (like the medieval ball and chain weapon) I draw about 10 spiked balls and then start filling in the chains.

23:38 bedtime -- finally, making some progress on bedtime, shooting for 23:00 every night now. long time falling asleep, wife walking around room loudly and jumping in to bed later, it's hot and uncomfortable. 00:00 Friday 2014-08-08 05:12 dozing, wake to remee lights, sit up, bathroom, sit some more, still feel drowsy, wondering if I've been up too long, BTB 06:50 can't sleep, get up, breakfast No recall at this point. Very depressed about this combined with the insomnia 09:30 back to bed long time falling asleep 11:20 wake to dark room, WTF did I sleep all the way through to evening? No it's lightning/thunder/rain storm. As I type this the lightning is so close it makes my computer monitor jump when it strikes. At least it's 10C cooler for now. +(f) leaving a church with son, I make a sacrilegious quip as I reach for the door handle and turn the knob to leave, I think I probably shouldn't have said that + with my GF who's planning a party, she complains this is the first time ever there will be too many girls at the party (it's because she's met so many lesbians recently), I take her into my arms, I'm below her at first, then I roll over and I'm on top of her she's in my arms and leaning back against the corner of a couch, and we enter a long, light, sweet kiss. I see her face, she's a beautiful young dark skinned Asian Indian with deep purple lipstick, it's so nice that I repeatedly try to pull away to tell her how nice this is and how long it's been but she doesn't let me disengage and all my words come out sounding like "Mmph" even though I'm coherently thinking my dialogue in my head. ^^ Very realistic, not being able to pull away though was weird...should have triggered an RC! +(f) standing on a high place looking down at a low place + sitting down by a TV, wishing the midget well on his performance, it's his test, flute music begins, I hear it perfectly and clearly, it's my favorite, Bach flute sonata in e minor (BWV 1034) first movement (without accompaniment) mistake right in the beginning, keeps playing, scene visuals change while music continues to a bizarre amalgam of strange umbrella-shaped trees like I saw recently on FB I almost fell back into a dream, I felt a sensation like I was standing and hopping lightly on my feet and had a dream entry sensation but then I woke up

00:00 Thursday 2014-08-07 1mg melatonin to counteract family bedtime drama (yet again) this night and last night 1 cup body builder protein powder mix with milk 00:49 bedtime wakings during the night, build running list of dreams recalled, worked on this list probably at least 3 times during the night 09:11 final waking + I'm in a non-descript hallway like a school hallway, I see at the end of the hallway (through a door?) a bloody bear is coming after me I keep trying to dodge it running in a small circle in and out of two close doors between the hallway and a room, trying to keep the wall between the bear and me, it gets its paws on me eventually + solving a complex math problem with dad, the bosses gave him approval to try to solve it in 5 minutes, I think that's bogus (it's our problem and I've solved it the bosses have no right to try to take ownership of it, the 5 minute limit is just a token "gift" to us, they intend to steal it), I've already solved it in a nice closed form the fractions are kind of messy though, I also have graphed it, my dad is doubtful of my solution, I have many pages of the solution worked out + driving at night through a suburban area, take two right turns into a complex, turn into a driveway, enter house, high school friends there, eating huge grilled chicken/garlic, some older guys there creating a marketing presentation on "edible plastic" featuring the west coast, wording drawn on what looks to be a large rectangular cake. + solving a computer design problem: apple can only add 32 in a loop, that's why it's so slow, I realize a single multiply of 32 is all that's required, it's a huge improvement, then I realize that a single shift is all that's required, the company builds a large shiny new prototype based on my new design + outside nighttime lots of people college housemates there's a battle coming I'm reassuring a girl that it will be OK, call out to opponents to start, I do a series of high jumps descending down on to my friend NI who holds the key to starting, landing clumsily commenting about "let's begin before I break my neck", people are upset that William Shattner is heavily modified, final scene prepared between the demon and Captain Kirk + rubbing my hands up and down a girl's back from her shoulders down to her waist, holding her tightly, her back is to me, it's some sort of exercise not a romantic encounter, she says she likes it

Lots of WTF moments, should have caught at least one, oh well! +(f) an unattractive woman is making out with her dog (is she really doing that?), I'm walking by her looking at her trying to see if she's really kissing/licking its face erotically or just very enthusiastically + mowing a large field, the field has lots of thick stalks sticking up, the mower gets stuck, I try to move it with all my strength and kick the wheels with my feet + technology conference for young people, one company has selected a team, hey they should have chosen me, I walk in to a classroom to use the restroom on the other side it's occupied + Meet with ex-fg DB she doesn't want to get back together, I jump off a cliff and fly + large cafeteria room people sitting at the table, I'm looking for beverages to pour for everybody, I think there may be Martinelli's but I find huge stores of unfiltered apple juice, I go around pouring it for everybody, I see suddenly that my pants are entirely unzipped (how'd that happen!?), it must be a prank, my dad walks by guarding his fly + someone's lighting the hillside on fire, putting out fire drills with the boy scouts, they pour out of the base and on to the hill, discussing strategy with woman director (tarps or dirt first), loose pipes fall down near me +(f) gearing up for a fight, I'm wearing puffy light green coat, I put a small yellow sticker on my coat, the boat we're attacking is well guarded so I also recruit some female fighters whom I normally don't like + fly in to a university student work office, there's no room the desks are tight, small building, some have workstations set up on the sidewalk, they're playing games, watch one game it goes full-vision, it's a hard game +(f) back to DB, her heart is set on another guy +(f) large woman trying to hide on the side of a cliff, she's trying to pull turf over herself, she does a bad job + sneaking through large stone hills avoiding guards back to our base, I'm in the lead, I find the path around the edge of the bluff, it is through a stone tunnel that morphs into ancient stone structures, there is a guard in the distance around the left I'm carefully advancing, I gesture to my friend we turn and run for our group to the right

Stayed up late watching "The Purge" movies 00:00 Tuesday 2014-08-05 02:00 bedtime no wbtb, no middle of the night recording, but I did wake during the night for recall, the dreams came in across 2-3 wakings and I managed to remember at least some of them, there were more but they degenerated into fragments or I forgot them entirely 10:30 + playing space video game, frag ship following close with phasers. The screen fills my vision, there are lots of ship on screen I'm firing torpedoes and trying to detonate enemy torpedoes, I'm changing course drastically and setting full speed to dodge. I'm not sure what team I'm on (orion or klingon?) but figure later I'm klingon, I see a romulan ship at one point and maybe a federation. At one point I have a fed ship close on my tail I'm moving from left to right, he's right on my tail not quite at 9 o-clock but close enough, I fire several phaser bursts straight to the left and he disappears, I guess I got him. + in a prison/hospital, one guy wants to move to the special room. I'm walking/talking with one patient (young male short blonde hair) he wants to go to the room. It's behind bars, the room is large-ish but I'm warning him if he goes in there he'll be spending his entire sentence in there. +(f) wife is at checkout counter +(f) downtown B, lots of gourmet restaurants, but they're empty and advertising for chefs + in old house, we only have room for the A family or someone else, walking around over sleeping guests. The A's could stay in a hotel, but could also stay with us, there's someone else who wants to stay with us. + picking flowers at the childhood playground. I start at the middle level where the clubhouse was, I want to pick flowers for a girl I like, I'm holding a large-ish tall crystal vase in my left hand, I pick a few flowers but they're too short and they fall down inside. I'm looking at one flower that looks like a black tulip with a green stem sticking up out of the flower. Starting to walk down to the lower/basketball level, someone with me stops to lean over the clubhouse railing to take a drink from the drinking fountain. I put down the crystal vase and it almost falls over, I catch it before it does and steady it. Down on the lower level I decide I want some white daisy flowers, I see them growing on the hillside between the levels, I walk over to the hill and jump up on two concrete benches near the hillside and jump onto the hill. I'm picking one daisy flower, I'm trying to reach down all the way to its base so that I get a long enough stem so that the flower will come out of the top of the vase and not just fall down inside. I'm a bit concerned about bugs as I reach down into the clump of green plant stuff where the stem emerges from. I pick several flowers. Some flowers come wrapped in brown paper wrapping with clear plastic windows like rolls from the bakery, one flower is a double-headed flower. I see that my wife has brought the procession of people down to this level so I don't have to climb back up.
Sometimes waking life just sucks. Family drama means I'm driving around late at night and don't get into bed until about 4am, f^&*ing great. Despite this I remember experiencing a lot of dreams, but most degenerated into just a couple fragments or vanished entirely. Decided just to take a "night off" -- no sleep mask, no earplugs, still slept pretty well. Having no sleep mask definitely affected recall with morning noise and bright light hitting the eyes. I wouldn't mind just running away from it all to a (silent, totally dark at night) hut (with a comfy bed) away from it all so I can get down to some serious dreaming. + crazy billiards: in a pool hall selecting a cue stick they're all short thin knarled warped branches, finally find a good-ish one, I think it may be too long, I chalk up the "tip" which is a large flat area like a branding iron, I'm chalking in the pattern of an "X". I line up a shot at the table, I see the stick is warped along its shaft, I rotate it until the warp is aligned with the long axis of the stick and doesn't interfere with the aim, I take the shot and it shoots straight, this is a great pool cue it turns out. +(f) exploring some house, see laundry machines +(f) some tense situation, look at (my detective partner?) through a strange device made from multiple lenses, can't really see clearly.
Started as a one dream night, WTF? Dreams are supposed to *build* in a competition, not vanish! Boo hoo. 2mg melatonin at bedtime, it's hot, I want to make sure I sleep. I think there were some fairly awesome earlier dreams but they vanished. 06:30 1) in a coffee shop, talking to dude across from me, soccer girl. At a large table in a coffee shop, about 8 in our group, the waitress is pouring water into our instant (if this is such a nice coffee shop why are we drinking instant?), the guy across from me is gone for a long while then he returns, he's gotten another cup of "K3", I say "you're probably all set for a night long work session!" I ask him the longest he's been awake, he answers 2 days. He starts talking about the soccer video game he likes to play, how the game creators are very careful about security so the game can't be cheated. He starts talking about girl on a team(?), I see a series of still photographs arranged in a grid about her and her progress? WBTB -- up a long time, can't sleep 09:30 BTB, eventually sleep 12:20 wake up with some fairly detailed recall, yay happy for the day again. 2) sister tag tower. I'm in some bridge tower, darkly lit, my sister is there we're playing tag (as adults) she runs up several landings up the stairs and hides in the darkness. There's no way I'm going to get here without her seeing/hearing me she'll just run away farther so I play it cool and just hang out, more people arrive. I think my moment is here so I signal my father to start playing music (singing?), this will cover the sound of my steps so I stealthily climb up to the next landing and I see my "sister" wearing a colorful dress in a crowd of women wearing dresses like dancers and I surge forward and tag here before she can get away, the other women think I cheated, I go and stand in a large platform below where they're standing. 3) football catch punt. I"m watching a (US) football game DO high over the field and a bit to the side. There's a kickoff but the kick goes out of bounds so it won't count, but somehow the play keeps continuing and I see the ball rolling in the center of the field rolling towards the end-zone, I expect the kicking team player (wearing a white uniform) will down the ball on the goal line but at the last second he just stands up and lets the ball roll into the end-zone. Instead of bringing the ball out the kicking team takes the side of the receiving team and without uniforms starts playing a "fake" play of football all to themselves, then one of the big guys runs up the field and the referee declares they can punt (back towards the original receiving team). I see the punt, it looks like a bad kick it is very high but not very far. HEY, the ball is coming RIGHT FOR ME, I see the football spinning rapidly and getting closer, and I *catch* it with two arms! I'm ecstatic, I hold the ball up like a trophy among my group on the balcony. I'm looking for a referee to hand the ball back to and toss it to someone on the balcony level below mine. I think, "crap I should have had someone take a picture of me first before I did that." Then there's a scene of some football players doing a celebration dance, they're right in front of me, and I (unfortunately) see the foot-long schlong and big nutsack of one of the players who's directly facing me, swinging back and forth with his dance, I really wish I hadn't seen that. 4) in store bags of food. I'm walking through a upscale grocery store, I'm looking for some good snack food. I see packages hanging up on the wall, I'm expecting they'll be potato chips, but I see instead it's full of weird things like marinated salisbury steak chunks, I move on through the store where I have to push through some young people coming the other way. I head up a ramp towards the check-out and I notice my legs -- I'm wearing black thermal underwear but the pants are so old and thin that when I lift my legs and the overhead light strikes it you can clearly see my skin, I'm embarassed a bit about that. I'm now approaching a register but the area is like dark casino gambling pit, it's carpeted. There are some "bad guys" also approaching, I wonder how they'll get through. I bring my stuff and unload it onto the circular check out counter, I see I have forgotten to put some of the vegetable items, including a small clump of some short greens, into bags. I count that I need 4 bags and tell that to the clerk who echoes it back to me. F1) drive past church with missile statues. Driving in a car with my wife, she points out another Church where we used to stop and the kids used to play, I sort of recognize it, I look out the window as we drive by and see a war memorial with about a dozen large sized missiles pointing towards the center of the square. F2) watching TV in my childhood room

00:00 Wednesday 2014-07-30 ugh "recall recoil" night, poor recall tonight, only 4 short dreams, no recording during night, so mucho detail lost, must have been tired, feel actually fairly well rested today. 01:00 pre-bedtime 01:15 (?) bedtime Wife IWL keeps coming to me (3 times!), turning on the light, and insists I look at the toothbrushes and identity which toothbrush is mine, and after pointing mine out, each time I say "I'm trying to sleep I don't care about the toothbrushes, I'll go buy a new one tomorrow, let me sleep!" No recording at night so I have no idea about dream times, but in rough order: + I have an old white car, it's like a Dodge Dart, some old crap car. It's parked on a moderately steep hill pointing front downwards. I open the hood and there's some sort of metal cover over the engine with the vague impression of engine parts underneath. I start it up. I return to my car and there's another car parked near it. I start driving and turn around and head uphill pressing the accelerator but it doesn't go very fast. + I'm walking down CB it's a very steep hill I see entranceways on both this and the other side of the street to underground pathways. My wife tells me about the hidden blueberry fields, I decide to find them, I imagine picking the blueberries off of the bushes. + pizza parties everywhere. I'm in a pizza restaurant, I see college housemate MH (for some reason this guy keeps popping up in my dreams even though we were not really close friends...I do see his posts on FB occasionally though) approaching our table, I see his face clearly, I'm really happy to see him, I offer a double high-5, then I turn around and stick my butt in the air for him to spank (!!?), he does and his pizza slides off his plate onto my plate, it's all gooey and mixed up, I don't want to use my hands to separate the pieces, I think mine is the pepperoni one. I then see college housemate NI, and I talk for a while about how NI managed the relationship with the pizza companies and how our house won the competition for most pizza ordered in a year and got a free pizza party as a result. Heading out to an elevator going down, 2 girls are trying to get position to get next to a guy. Riding up an elevator getting off, the apartment we're going to is open. All the people we know are supposed to be here but there are just two families of people we barely know, they're looking at us as we enter, I see a few cute daughters/wives with beautiful brown eyes, I take the pizza we've brought to the refrigerator and try to put it inside but the shelves are all overflowing with ground meat. + selling a small box of my old junk to an aggressive lesbian for over $100. I'm holding a small box of my old junk, old tapes, random crap, I can't believe she will pay me $100 for this junk, she tries to hit me but I avoid it, I start looking at the stuff and decide hey there's some good stuff in here after all, there's the tape to the famous football play, I think I'll just take out and keep the stuff and give the rest of the junk to the lesbian, I'm keeping my eye on her to see if she's noticing me, she tries to hit me again this time she does. I leave now I'm driving a horse and cart, I have the reins in each hand, I start by "whoa"ing / stopping the horse, then I pull the reins to the left and the horse goes left, then I pull to the right and it goes right, then we approach an narrow metallic stairway/escalator, I wonder if we can get down it, I just keep going and we somehow get down. While riding I "play" the tape and hear a portion of the famous football play.
00:00 Tuesday 2014-07-29 Competition #18 night #2 00:20 pre-bedtime setting intention 00:37 bedtime 04:25 1) prayer meeting in (my?) living room, multi-level, some people leave the front door is on the upper level, they are offended, some new people arrive, they are very enthusiastic. I listen to the priest speaking, it sounds like gibberish. Then we're giving a presentation of my database coding project, the code is up on a projector. There are some people there from my job, I wonder what they'll think of me working on this side project on my own. WBTB 07:15 2) epic long multi-scene dream ski hill: ski resort terror attack. I am flying DO high above the ground I see a bomb go off and little people fly far in every direction: up, down, left, right, in the air. I watch this replay several times trying to get a good view. High DO view of people skiing fast down steep rocky slopes. I see little skiers skilfully navigating the slopes among the rocks. I then see some skiers not so skilfully navigating, they fall and their bodies scrape along the rocks. There is a hill shining in the sun the skiers try to get to the top of the hill at a precise time so that they get the special reflection from the sun as they ski down. There is another path down the mountain to see the reflection, it is a narrow path along a steep crevice. I am there with a group, including Spock and Bones from Star Trek. The track is only one ski wide and I'm saying "oh there's no WAY I'm going to go on that." I can't imagine how when wearing long skis one can even pick up the back ski to place it in front of the front ski to make progress. There is a sharp turn coming up ahead. lightsaber lab: I'm observing some light-saber fight between two Darth-Vader like beings, I imagine their lightsabers clashing and the handles getting fused and stuck together. I imagine jumping in to the battle then with my own lightsaber, slicing the bottom of the two stuck lightsabers in half to destroy it, while then taking the top one and using it. We're approaching a big door, we have to open it somehow, we're then inside but we're still trying to figure out how to open something, I go further into the huge low-lit room and find a workbench with some aspect of the code/security system. I activate it and feel my cell phone ringing/vibrating in my pocket. Of course! I set up this system to call me to ask for the code phrase! I open my phone (it's a flip phone) and try to read the code phrase which is written on a piece of paper tacked to a wall of this work area. Some sort of small cage has been dragged across the code sentence leaving a word in the middle unreadable. The letters in the other words are kind of washed out too but recognizable as words. I walk by another tall lab bench and see several early models of lightsabers that we were working on, I "recognize" them. One of them is like a toy with a plastic blade, I turn it on and swing it around and it makes some faintly recognizable lightsaber "bzzing" sounds. A young woman appears and is telling me that she remembers me as the guy who was always falling over slowly to the ground. I'm really embarrassed/angry about this, I tell her angrily that that was only before I was 12 years old and had yet to develop a sense of balance! My college roomate CL appears and starts packing up some large rectangular plates. I think these were the things he was working on in the lab. Will he bring them back? A group of people are gathered together sitting closely. One guy is sitting on a horse who is sitting on the ground. The horse has no skin and I see the fibrous muscles, dark and tough, though, like horse jerky, not bloody. "Them's are good eats!" I say, hoping the horse guy will share, I think he will. star trek: We're on the bridge of a Star Trek ship, there are various captains chairs. Some communication is received there is a dangerous situation. I see two people sitting on chairs, one has super long dreadlocks/tentacles for hair and is encased in a clear protective bubble. The crew must abandon ship. I'm in an escape pod, I see a view of the ship as the escape pod detaches: it looks sort of like concentric round rings of various rocket boosters. I see this several times, I feel a jerk as the escape pod finally gets moving. Down on the surface of an alien planet, with the group from our ship, I have a high DO view as a more experienced crew member tells about this planet, it's (something like) the "Ice Ceiling" planet. Instead of a sky there is a high ceiling and large chunks of ice can fall from it. As he says this I see a large chunk of ice fall down and cover the group. The group is standing on top of a hill and the experienced crew member brings out the instruction manual for this planet. He reads how one should target (the aliens?"). You draw a line along each of the (triangular?) feet, then draw a line between these two and you have the sensitive spot. In a city (on the planet?) there are large buildings. Instead of numbers for addresses they use large books of famous literature nailed to the buildings. Back in the Star Trek ship: Someone is speaking with Scotty, he will be leading the new Star Trek shows. I (or somebody?) asks "is that the New New shows or the Old New shows?" -------------- long back to sleep...yet another back to sleep success. It's hot, bed is uncomfortable, but I persevere and fall asleep. almost WILD/start-of-dream DILD? A dream starts and I realize it's a dream and I wake up. Perhaps vivid HI. I was in some sort of building/prison, building/inspecting a fence. 09:45 3) I'm interacting with two girls from the yearbook club. Then I'm in with the entire yearbook club and there's a big song-and-dance number. I'm observing a spy who's in disguise talking to a spy target of his. The spy has a terrible disguise: an entire set of false teeth that start falling out as he's speaking, so the row of false teeth is clearly visible in between the two rows of his real teeth. Then there's a view of an all-white cart/truck that falls down from the sky to appear, the "fence" of the truck are like large false teeth, rectangles rounded on top. I'm trying to stop/work a tape recorder, there is important information on the tape, I see the tape playing past the end and the tape entirely unravelling from one reel. I eventually find the stop button but it's too late. I wonder how I'm going to get the tape put back together. I'm entering a small room and closing the door. I have my ipad with me and I'm planning a session of "personal entertainment." Then in a semi-lucid flash of inspiration I realize, "Hey, I could go get a real girl!" I leave the room start walking out ready to start the search but I wake up. It felt like waking up from a lucid dream, but I don't think I thought I was dreaming fully so I won't count it as lucid.
Dreams vague, hazy mostly. Most clear #1 at the conclusion (waking moment). 22:30 read self-hypnosis for lucid dreaming script 23:33 bedtime 00:00 Monday 2014-07-28 Competition #18 night #1 06:17 1) I'm driving some vehicle with others in it, there is a stand/road with people leading up a twisty narrow road that I need to go on, there's not room, the seated people lining the path all stand up (to honor a king?), I direct the vehicle and go up. At the top I start jumping through holes and moving through maze-like paths and tunnels, picking up keys and tags that are associated with people. At one point I think I've chosen "Pam"'s tag, I look at her and see her seated in an orchestra, she's a clarinet player, dark-ish skinned almost middle aged sort of skinny not really my type, I'm continuing searching and see some more tags on a sign for a (chinese restaurant?). The guy I've been paired with asks me to take him to the DMV. I do not want to and think about blowing him off, but decide that would be rude. I'm sitting at a long table with friends starting a party, one guy pours his homemade alcohol (I called it "airplane fuel") into my jar-cup. I'm getting drunk and commiserate my bad luck in the pairings with my friend DC: Me: "I got paired with a guy instead of a girl." DC: "I know." Me: "He asked me to take him to the DMV!" DC: "I know!" Me: "I HAD TO WAIT THERE WHILE HE FINISHED HIS DRIVING TEST!!!" DC: "I KNOW!" I say the drink is not half-bad with the added flavoring. Friend-DC says "oh no that's the wrong way you have to drink it straight!" He prepares a new drink for me and plops it down in front of me. It's a massively giant clear mug the size of a beer keg, about 2-3 feet tall and 1 foot in diameter. It is full of the clear liquor and ice. I think if I drink this thing I'll surely die of alcohol poisoning. Everybody at the table is laughing and clapping. I'm staring at this massive mug and say "WTF?!" and do a nose pinch,.... but I'm already awake in bed and moving my physical body to do the nose pinch (and so can't breathe). 2) I'm on on stage at a rich kid's party (saw a rich kid's fancy party IWL at a park a few days ago), I'm carrying a present from stage right to stag e left in front of the crowd. It's just the top empty carcass of a wrapped present there is no present inside, and so I call out "false alarm, false alarm, false alarm" as I move to where the rich kid is sitting. I reach there and put down the box. The spoiled rich kid opens a present, it's a board game "The Game of Life," the kid complains that she already has this game and throws it into the air and and all the play money from the game goes flying like confetti through the air. I think about this game and how (false memory) there are all these little loop-dee-loop paths that you can get trapped on unless you make a proper roll of the dice to escape. 3) I'm at a party that's still preparing for guests. A big group of partiers arrive just as the hors d'oeuvres are brought out of the oven on baking sheets. They're mostly round dumplings, each sheet with its own color. The newcomers start gobbling down the hors d'oeuvres before they're even put onto plates, I think that's rude. I want to eat some too, but resist. I see a platter of roasted and sliced steak the middle slightly reddish/pink. 4) it's late evening twilight I"m outside in a huge garden at a friend's house (large party?) There's nobody around I'm only in my underwear, I start running trying to get to my clothing before people come out. While running I realize there's a small girl also running right beside me she's also only in her underwear, she's sort of getting in my way. Then people come out from everywhere and get in my way. F1) I'm approaching sitting in theater seats on an incline. I sit down one seat away from the guy already there my explanation is that I want the aisle. He puts his feat down onto the open seat in front of him. F2) In a work bar looking for ChL? 06:40 WBTB -- awake for a long time, slow getting back to sleep. Should I just get up? No, practice relaxation. I eventually sleep again. Remee goes off somewhere in here a few times? I turn it off. 10:51 5) I'm meeting with friends/acquaintences, there's a conference going on, arranging a meeting later. I or someone is folding a piece of white paper. Reading a sign posted outside about the celebration schedule, it turns out that it started a week ago but the meeting for the night is still on. We arrange to meet on this corner. I say "this is the north west corner" and I'm thinking about compass directions and how the streets are aligned with them, that's how I come up with "north west." Later I"m driving a car on my way to this meeting, I enter an intersection on a green light turning left but cars still cross left/right as if they have a green, I'm confused by this but yield to them and make the left turn, up ahead the traffic turns right it's gridlock that's where I need to go. 6) I'm kissing a pretty girl and sort of sucking on her upper lip (signature technique), I realize the girl is not really into it maybe I'm forcing myself on her, she's leading me to a meeting I realize this meeting is in a subterranean band room and they may trap me there for all eternity because there's no way for me to get out. Even though this event was staged in my honor, I'm concerned it's a trap so I do not attend. I'm talking to people on the ground outside and some cloth translucent fences appear around me, I'm not too concerned because I could always fly out if I have to. Pretty sure there were more dream scenes during the night but forgot them.
00:45 bedtime 03:39 + the judge on the train car is distracted by the girl walking outside, people are paying for things at their places at the cafe + getting into a helicopter, thinking about altitude 05:57 + (major face palm, swore out loud at this recall) spend time with a guy working on the aurora iwinks talking about ld count, remee settings, see his circuit boards. I'm lying in a bed in a room, I'm watching the progress of a woman outside I'm watching her through curtains, maybe she'll get into the tent. I pull the curtains aside and look outside and I see a ring of people wearing white crowns in a circle it's some religious ceremony. I'm standing in a circle of people normally dressed we're doing some sort of routine/dance, going left, going right, then "bumping" together in the center. Sitting down in a row of chairs I notice another guy sitting close by in another row perpendicular to mine -- his clothing is highly bright and patterned, and I see the words "Aurora" and "iWinks" on his clothing, like an advertisement. I'm excited to see this and talk to him, telling him "I've just had my 46th!" (meaning lucid dream, I'm sure he'll understand he must be into lucid dreaming, too). I take my remee off my head? My wife comes by and kisses me on the cheek, I give the guy the "ssssshhh!" signal so he won't tell my secret. My wife leaves playing / dancing with a young man. I'm sitting in a dark corner talking to the Aurora guy, I'm saying I'm waiting for the iWinks because it has (and we say in unison) "REM detection." I start talking about my remee settingg. We're now lying in bed (mattress on the floor) in his apartment side by side still talking about remee, I think this is a bit strange and gay, I wonder what he thinks of it. He's now with a friend on the side of the room hunched over something working on it, I "recognize" the other guy (false memory) and think I know both these two guys. I'm talking about my remee settings and he interrupts me and says that some famous guy ("Steve"?) says that 3 hours is the best interval. He offers to program my remee there's an unknown setting he has a circuit board he designed to do it. I see the circuit board it's about 3 inches by 3 inches, I wonder if he built just one or if he bought a bunch of them in bulk. I see his remee (a portion of it) strapped to his board, I see another one and pick it up to look at the label to see if it's mine. + kids are sliding down a snowy hill decorated with colorful lights + college housemate reunion I don't know anyone think about posting my years there a former housemate disagrees with me about when I was there he's only half right I calculate the years. There are young men and young women, they don't recognize me, I look at them and seem to recognize one name. I ask if they knew NI, the physics student, a good friend of mine. I think I should post the years of my attendance on the doorway to help people place when I was in the house, I think the full 4 years of college, CL (who was a housemate) says no, I realize right only the 2nd 2 years since 1st year I was in the dorms and 2 year we all lived somewhere else, he says no and gives another date range but I know I"m right this time.
Did "everything wrong" last night: ate a big meal late, had wine fairly late, went to bed late and really full, but had some excellent dreams. Thanked my SC ala gab many times during the day yesterday for my dreaming experiences and "put in my order" for the kinds of dreams I wanted. Started asking myself "what's odd about this?" during the day after reading Patricia Keelan's bio on LaBerge's Hawaii retreat web page. Things I did right: ate dream-friendly lunch (almonds, turkey, cheese, tart cherries, milk, flax seed powder), exercised, day practice, added back in some PM targets (hit some, missed some). 02:00 bedtime (argh!) 08:42 (wake time 08:23) + plane hijack/crash, they're trying to knock everyone unconscious on board by the G-forces of sudden turns. I feel the turns and every time one happens people on board say "whooooooa!", I feel the blackout coming close but it never overcomes me, I think middle-aged women have taken over the plane. The plane crash lands in Southern California and I think this is a joke because it's not really an abandoned location. I walked by the plane outside now looks more like a large ocean ship I pass it by on the left, I see ahead of me there's a mirage that looks like water, there's someone else with me experiencing the mirage, but I know it's a mirage that will change as we approach closer, we step forwards and the pools of "water" resolve into the large eyes of a big moose sitting on the ground. There's a tree nearby with a well of water inside it, and the moose allows us to drink from it. + I see old friend DD and her mother and infant "daughter" standing at a garden fence outside a garden, I feel strong affection towards them and go to join them and say hello. DD and her old mother (a crone with a large witch nose) are walking swiftly through the aisles in the garden which has rows of tall trees laid out in a rectangular pattern. D ignores me. I hear a voice narrating a story that the nearby house (two houses joined together sharing a wall) is haunted/cursed because people used to come there for affairs. I get close to D finally and say a hearty hello but she just says "yeah, hi" sarcastically and keeps moving. I'm really hurt and angry by this rejection, I leave the garden, walking over/slamming the "gate" which is a large colourful bunch of folded paper like Christmas wrapping paper and it falls over behind me on to the ground as I stomp away, I hear D say sarcastically "good job, <my name>". I feel a bit bad because I think this was D's daughter's toy. I hear my sister's voice behind me saying "where has this happened before?", she's trying to chastise me, I'm mad and shout at her over my shoulder Spoiler for profanity: "I don't give a mother-fucking shit!" I see an advertisement for quarters (the coins) being an important part of Thanksgiving dinner (!), the quarters are rolling around on dark streets, I have a close up view, some announcer talks of the important in choosing good quarters (so that the turkey will be good?) + My wife and I are talking in my childhood home garage (only realize location after waking), her eyes change from brown to blue and back several times and I'm frickin astonished by this and keep trying to manoeuvre her eyes into better light to see better (SC Gift #1! I missed this one! argh! LD on a silver platter!). She walks from my left to my right and back to my left, to stand by the door, where her eyes seem to settle back to brown, she says "yeah that happens sometimes." + (lucid) I'm seated in a very large (outdoor?) bright theatre. I have a friend seated next to me on my left. A few rows down and to the right on a landing, only about 10 feet away, I notice 2 guys have appeared (they weren't there before) and they're singing. These guys are goofy/geeky/weird looking, wearing a lot of odd jewelry/clothing, each one is holding a microphone and singing, they have good voices and harmony, I see them very vividly. I'm thinking about how goofy they look but they probably get girls because they're in a band. An aide(s) starts walking by us up the stairs in the aisle, they're holding prizes, one of them is a large drawing (1m by 2/3m about) colorful (crayon) drawing of something (ship/balloon?) with the word "Dream" or "Dreamer" clearly written (printed) on it (SC Gift #2!), some of the letters are reversed (the "d" and/or the "r"). I think "really? I've been seeing so many t-shirts recently with "dream" written on it, might as well RC," I do a nose pinch and some air leaks through but it seems mostly closed. Hmm, I'm a bit confused, I try pinching harder and breathe again, the air is mostly blocked but some still gets through. I decided to try gravity, I jump a bit into the air and float slowly down, Aha! Yes this is a dream! I run up the steps to the aides who are a few rows above us now, and tear off the poster from the easel and bring it back to my seat, I want to save it for later when I wake up . I then climb up some steps looking about the theatre (more of an amphitheatre), it's filled with people. I'm looking for a CG for a smooch. I settle on one and give her a quick kiss I do not want to engage for too long though. I keep walking, and see a CG blonde with a cream dress, maybe late 20's early 30's. I sit with her and put my hands up her shirt. There are multiple layers and I go under about 3 before I feel the skin of her back. I'm concerned my hands are cold and I don't want to shock her so I put my hands back on top of one layer of clothing. After a bit I put my hands back to the skin and move them around to the front. Her clothing is really tight on top of my hands. Spoiler for 18+: I double-grab her fairly substantial breasts and begin squeezing and kneading and pulling on them. This goes on for a while. The next time I pull on them a bit she objects, I think because it's too obvious to people around what I'm doing, but she says that doing so pulls her neck back and forth. She likes it when they're squeezed but not pulled. I'm then standing up and perhaps have lost lucidity a bit so I do another jump and I slowly float down, yep, solidly lucid again. Things seem stable so I decide to escalate and I say "OK, time for some <epithet for cat> f%^&ing!" She's on her hands and knees, knees on a chair and her hands on a table, I raise her cream colored skirt over her butt and I/she start to tear/remove her panty hose and I wake up. Argh! I'm sleeping on my stomach so I think that explains the unclear/partially blocked nose pinch. Try to relax and go back in but too excited/awake. Probably 2 hours awake at least, drifting/snoozing, doing counting breaths, SSILD, relaxation, trying to get back to sleep, get the "I WILL LD if I can fall asleep again" feeling, I think about getting up for the day but I don't give up, keep relaxing, and eventually sleep... 11:30 + (lucid) Indoors in some random house, well-lit. I'm rubbing my left hand in circles on my son's right shoulder, he's intently watching a TV/microwave, I realize I'm dreaming but feel my awareness is at the bottom of a well, very unstable, just keep rubbing and rubbing his shoulder and eventually feel substantial enough to move, and start walking a bit into the scene. I find myself standing at a white square small ceramic sink with no faucet in a non-descript room , and I'm running my hands around the back corners of the sink (left hand on left side/corner, right hand on right/back corner) back and forth, to stabilize. I decide I will do sivason simultaneous focus and try to maintain focus on both my dream body and the dream environment and walk towards a door but immediately feel very dizzy/unstable. Stand still, more hand rubs. Things stabilize a bit. I start walking down the hallway, it is my current IWL home. I think about going out the front door, decide to jump out the kitchen window. Walk down the corridor, turn left into the kitchen, the window is there (wrong kind of window), through the lower panes I see the bright sunlit outside, I don't hesitate and immediately run towards the left window pane and dive headfirst through it, don't feel any glass, the world orientation sort of rotates and swirls a bit to simulate my dive then I'm on the ground outdoors, "COOL!" I think. The ground is made of the same floor / ceiling tiles as the kitchen, then things start fading, I think just a moment and the scene will clarify to a proper street scene, then I wake up. This was a notable LD because it probably was just a waking moment and I was able to hold on to it and turn it into a proper multiple-scene (if short) LD with a cool dive out the window.
