lucid

This kind of night makes all the day work worthwhile. Not a great deal of lucidity, but some lucid moments, but fun Fun FUN dreams: flying, sexy moments, dueling, magic powers, weird/bizarre things/sights, just chock full of awesomeness!

early:

+ library, librarian unlocks collection of super rare books, the last in the world, "it's like Farenheit 451" as I caress the large, square, thin books.

+ freeway path gets progressively rougher. Sandy, hills, bumpy. They're doing construction on the road while we're driving on it. Large machines are stamping the sand in front of us. Then they turn into tall skinny naked male giants with huge flat feet and hairy butts which are fiercely stamping down the sand as we walk behind them. I don't like being so close to their hairy and smelly butts [don't actually smell anything]

+ SuBu, hold, stomach, sits chair, look in her fridge, empty but lots of stuff for making sandwiches; book report: I must gather oil from the pages (accumulated over years of fingers touching them), must scrape the oil off with something with a long thin edge like a ruler, I ask for an empty bottle with a stopper to gather this oil, I think this will take forever to gather together by scraping it off the pages.

WBTB

middle:

+ (LD#150) in office, people are gathering boxes, packing up their offices to leave, I look for the pile of flattened cardboard boxes, see a small pre-assembled boxes (sized for video tapes), keep looking, find pile of flattened boxes, pick up some (are missing some of the flaps?). Head back to my office. Catch sight of a pretty blonde girl sitting to the left among the offices/cubes. Something goes "zing!"and I'm (weakly) lucid as I walk over to her, bend over, and plant a kiss on her lips. Signature "lip pulling" as I stand up, feeling the contact, amazed at the sensations that a dream can produce. I then imagine I'd like some attention from her and sit down and bring her over
but it's vague from there, lose lucidity, or just transitions.

+ on bus S2 cracks tasteless joke, I'm sitting in middle row of bus, girl in the front (dark, middle-eastern looking with short dark hair) laughs. Turn back to look at S2 he's surrounded by girls on the seats all around, the bus is full; girl on bus playing with barbie-like dolls: one in each hand, she looks really intense, and plays like one of the barbies is shooting the other one, and shakes the hand of the shooting barbie and makes boy-noise gun sounds: "tut tut tut tut!…"; the bus is approaching the big stadium (university?), I think the driver should get much closer before he lets us off.

+ batteries outside of store, I'm working in front of the steps, blocking left entrance, a woman tries to go by, I say just use the right door. Guys sitting to my left, they say "I fucking hate batteries." I look down and I'm working on some electronics project with a lot of batteries, I echo shortly thereafter "I fucking hate batteries."

+ (vague, impressions, fragment) playing squash, serving, changing service boxes, lose count of score, playing a few points

+ I'm in a car, sitting on the front passenger seat. Then there are two investigators there standing also in the passenger seat area, rifling through the contents of the glove compartment, I'm in trouble for something I'm stashing in there? Wake up and relieved that my life is not ruined.

+ In some area with a girl dressed only in panties and a bra, maneuvering along a seated/bench (sort of like a car front seat? Related to above scene probably). In the left compartment is her stuff included her graded papers, in the right compartment is my secret stuff and I don't want her digging around in there. We're exchanging positions shuffling by each other closely and I say "don't worry I'm not trying to touch you" or something like that. I do notice her sexy butt in those patterned panties and wonder if maybe I should...

late:

+ (semi) high on cliff over rich beach houses (hundreds of feet blow), I think I should return to this spot in future dreams. I fly/dive down to a high patio on one house, the patio is empty of people, but I see a big party going on on ground floor, jump down, move to hostess,

Spoiler for sexy time, don't read if you don't like explicit descriptions:

and catch a glimpse of the nipple of her right breast through an opening in her outfit -- she's wearing a sleeveless dress. I move right up to her and grab her right breast and take it out of her dress. I'm holding it in my hand and get a good like at it, it's a lovely breast. I then give it a quick kiss/suck on the nipple, and wonder if she's going to be embarrassed about being exposed with these people around

, I pull back and hold her in my arms and I'm walking backwards through the party main room, I'm giving her quick kisses and asking her something like "did he kiss you like this?" but she never answers. I do this until we reach the far edge of the room and then stop and talk to some people.

Spoiler for sexy contents, don't read if you don't like explicit descriptions:

I realize that I've just ejaculated (masturbation) sitting on some place. There are some people (guys) to my left and right. I look down on the floor and see my stuff there floating in a layer of water, and I reach down and swirl the water around to disperse it. I also see that I've landed a good bit of it on a knitted blanket, which I then push down into the water to rinse off.

The blanket is now all wet in my hands, and I pull it up out of the water and mention to the guy to my right, "don't worry, it'll dry out quickly."

I head outside: we're near the coast of the ocean, there is fairly heavy flog/clouds but there are some breaks showing sun/blue sky, and I think that I should fly up through it to determine how thick it is.

+ magic: create mac 'n cheese factory
I'm walking by some (kids?) and someone kicks a couple of plastic gallon milk jugs, one of them floats up in the air and I immediately use my TK power with a hand gesture to "push it into space". It starts going really high and far away. Then I'm working with it in the air above me, trying to force it to become brighter (and hotter?), it is a sort of blue and gold lattice. I decide I should make the golden stuff into mac 'n cheese sauce, which starts dripping down. I call for the kids to come and eat it. Then the whole thing changes into a floating factory with whirring gears that automatically makes mac 'n cheese and dispenses it down a conveyor belt.

+ duel, "I'm old enough to Shreve!"
In some building, some vague moments with people I'm in conflict with. Move around to different rooms. Leave, then return. It's a deserted looking industrial building. I look to the far side of the room and expect a platform elevator to descend. Instead, it comes falling down quickly and crashes in to the floor, and an oldish man falls off, he appears dead. I say "Mormont's dead!" (I think he's my father?).

Outside on the street a young man wearing armor jumps down and confronts me. He says "I'm not too young to Shreve!" (I think this means killing a family member). He's killed father. I pull out my sword. He is standing over me and is wielding a white makeshift mace with many spikes on it. We engage. I block the mace and take many slashing blows at him. In between our clashes I lunch forwards and stab him solidly with the point of my blade, this will cause wounds that will gradually wear him down. He's not hitting me. I think that he has become frozen (?) and I start hacking at his arms and hands and it's like hitting thick ice, little pieces slowly chip away. At one point we're scrambling up onto a raised platform and I loose the grip on my weapon which at this point is like two round concentric shields. My opponent reaches for them but I manage to grab them back.

+ first waking: no concrete recall, definitely dreamed but couldn't move beyond vague impressions

busy mind. Calmed it with modified SSILD (fogelbise style, all senses per one breath)
got back to sleep!

+ (LD#149) I'm on a bus. Sitting in front of me is a girl and (her family members?). My hand is one the back of the chair. She's wearing an open-backed shirt and my hand is really close to touching her skin. I think about brushing my hand against her skin "accidentally" but I don't. The girl then turns around fully, kneeling on her seat and seems to be looking right at me and starts talking, but I figure out she's talking to her "sister?" who is right behind me. (The girl in front of me has red hair & blue eyes?). I glance behind me and see the sister, she seems to be a twin of the girl in front.

I decide to do some "stuff" hidden by blanket on top of me. At one point something comes in to view briefly and I wonder if the girl behind me sees it. I cover up with the blanket again.

I look up and see a reflective mirror strip near the ceiling of the bus. I look into it and see a row of girls a few rows back. 2-3 of them look like identical twins (like the sister), and one more of them looks similar enough to definitely be a sister.

(discontinuity?)

I look forwards and notice that the girl and her family who had sat in front of me had moved across the aisle, I think they moved away from me because of my "stuff." There is another family sitting in front of me. I notice I'm sitting next to a girl on my right, rubbing shoulders with her. I turn to look at her, placing my right arm over her seat back. I get bold and lean down/over and kiss her. I'm lucid now and I say out loud, "I'm dreaming." I continue to kiss her, several "smacks", lightly pulling on her lips a bit for the sensation, feels totally convincing, and I fade to awake.

Very stoked about the LD. Get my self calm again with SSILD and am just about asleep again when I get a phone call, and then get up for the day.

Paying attention to senses during the night. Poor/light sleep.

bedtime around midnight 00:00 - 00:30?

05:30
+ (f) sitting around a fire(?) with guys holding huge stone axes, the axe heads are several feet in each dimension, this is because stone is much more fragile than metal, metal tools can be much smaller

+ work

+ tree/path/cars/bribe/toaster

I'm standing on a path looking to a hillside fairly far away where bunch of guys have wrapped their arms around the trunk of a tree (various side branches) and are trying to pull it down. The tree breaks and falls to the ground on top of / around the men. I call out "you've broken the tree!" (I see this process repeat once?). I see that one of the pieces of the multi-trunked tree has splintered and landed on top of one of the guys. Another guy is near. He uses his strength (he'll have to be really strong! I think) to move the trunk off the guy underneath. He's not wearing a shirt. I sort of expect to see he's been pierced by a sharp piece of wood but he looks OK.

Walking on the dirt path on the way I used to walk home from the science museum. The path is much wider and with established tire tracks now. A dune-buggy like car zooms by me on the higher part of the path closer to the fence. I'm annoyed by this fast traffic. I look back and see a large bush is separating the two parts of the path. I think of placing a large, metallic pyramid structure about 1 meter high on the high path to block the way of cars. As I approach the fence at the end of the dirt path, a small, bronze car zips by me at high speed on the lower path. I gesture with my arms and call out "slow down!" as I reach the gate and turn to look the bronze car stops and a (blonde?) guy leans out his head and calls something which I can't hear, but presumably to complain about my complaint. I call out "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!".

Suddenly a small car runs right in to me. It hits me across both my upper legs. It bumps against me again. I'm mad and I pick up the tiny car in my arms and throw it a few meters down the hill. I see that there is a female driver (young, blonde?). I then realize what's happened and say "You hit me with your car!…..YOU HIT ME WITH YOUR CAR!" I think I'm going to call the cops and get her in a heap of trouble. I take out my cell phone and there is a big conical damaged area in it that I push with my fingers and it goes in and out above/below the main plane of the phone.

I'm walking in a room and there is a man there who is trying to bribe me (about the accident?). He asks me "are you a member of CRSS?". I say "I don't pay any attention to [city B] politics. I just want it to be a good place for people to live. The people who live here shouldn't be bothered." He hands me a small stack of cash. I start to count through it and I see $1, $5, $10, $20 bills, and also some paper advertisement fliers, which means there's less cash here than I thought. He says not to count it here.

Walking out, there's a woman(?) giving a class on a chess program (like ChessBase or Chess Position Trainer, but it has its own name), there are several young (high school?) male students there. The teacher is apologizing to the guys, saying "I know you wanted to get in one more game." I'm with my wife and I want to head up the final hill home [to childhood home], but the stairway leads through a toaster oven which is cooking an open-faced sandwich which is blocking the way out. I open the oven and wonder if they'll mind if I take out the sandwich myself. It's really bubbling from the heat. There is a thin layer of meat, and some bubbling brown sauce on top. I want to put in a sandwich for my wife, I see some onion rings under the stuff piled on the tray.

WBTB

07:00 ?

09:00 - 10:00? BTS

time unknown

+ fly LD(#148)
I'm on my childhood home deck at night [location not acknowledged in dream], I'm jumping high into the air, a cat is on top of the railing and also jumps high. This may be a dream/RC doing this jump, before was not conclusive even though we hung in the air a split second. Jump again and the cat also jumps with me, higher this time, I do a nose-pinch in the air and get lucid. I turn to look down the hill and see the city lights far below me in clumps in the distance. I stretch out my arms and start flying towards the lights. I'm losing a bit of altitude and am coming up on some neighbor's deck furniture below me pretty close but I decide I'm going to clear it OK and I do. A lock of hair is hanging down obscuring the view from my right eye a bit and I shake my head to dislodge it. I keep flying towards the lights and decide that I'm going to do my best to maintain lucidity and keep the dream solid and stable for a long time. Then my wife moves in bed
and I wake up.

BTS

13:30
final waking

+ arriving with group in car on steep hill. Our destination is down the hill below the parking lot. The guys in the car don't want to park so far away. I drive in to the parking lot (circling it first?) and choose a spot that is still pretty high. We get out and then the people help me to empty pieces of a bathtub into the parking lot (?)

+ I'm in some sort of scientific lab. I'm talking with people about the discoveries that have been made. It is apparently some sort of electronic brain. I'm saying that there has been a breakthrough in nerve signal transmission. Also something about the high amount of power it takes to drive this device.

Then I'm standing a bit farther down the room. There's a sign/thing that we are required to read and memorize only when the train arrive and we must repeat this word/phrase/code/thing before the train leaves. My friend lifts up the flap covering the code and reads it ahead of time, he's beaten the system he thinks. It reads something like "NOOOOMOOO". Then the train comes, and I lift the flap, and I see that the code has changed. The joke is on us, now we must quickly memorize the new complex code and restate it in just a few moments. We're not going to make it.

I had a bunch of wine before bed. About 5-6 glasses, it is a very weak homemade sort of wine, more like beer. The glasses were small. Probably equivalent to 2 regular glasses of wine, alcohol-wise. Also a few sips of Jagermeister .

Also had a bedtime snack of a scrambled egg sandwich with cheese, and a glass of milk. Think I'll be repeating this in the future!

No recall before the dreams that went lucid.

+ (LD#146) Law book, spider-master man, (LD) garage tour
I'm about to start studying a really thick book for Law School. We have to remember every single detail from the book. I'm a bit nervous about how I'm going to remember all this detail. I think I should prepare a notepad with me to take notes while I read. I flip through the book to see how many pages it has. The same page numbers (90-something?) keep repeating throughout the book, they don't keep increasing. I say "every chapter starts over at page one!" I go look for the table of contents to try to determine how many pages there are. I finally determine there are somewhere around 600 (?) pages in the book.

I start reading through the book. One one page there is a diagram towards the bottom of the page depicting and naming about 6 different styles of boat. Some of them look like little "Orion" ships from the computer space battle "empire", and are labeled "orion-<something>". Do I have to remember this, too?

There is a veteran lawyer in the room, he's busy working on something. I want advice on studying, do I really have to remember everything? I go up to him and respectfully say "excuse me, may I ask you a quick question, it won't take long" but he shakes his head "no," he's preparing for a client?

I keep studying the book some more. Then I go back to the guy a bit later and ask again "I just want to know do I have to remember every single detail from the book?" He says yes, you have to memorize everything.

I'm standing outside and the lawyer guy comes. I want to get away from him so I transform myself into a little spider and slip through a crack. He keeps coming like he knows where I am. Again I transform into a little spider and slip through a railing on a stairway and down to the ground floor. He keeps coming at me. I think he is the "spider master". I ask him "do you always know where all spiders are?" He says "yes." Then I either ask or he volunteers that there are thousands of spiders within the immediate vicinity. He says that there's a room (garage?) with zillions of spiders there, he detects them now, and offers to show me.

I follow him and we walk around a corner in the hallway in this house and there's the door to the garage. I'm surprised by a large (reddish?) stuffed fish that is hanging from a wire from the ceiling down just above my head that starts wiggling in alarm when we come around the corner. I also glance on the far wall and see something crawling there I think it's a large spider. I do a nose pinch RC from the surprise/oddness of the situation and I can breathe, I'm lucid.

The man is continuing the tour but I decide to ditch and go back outside to the right where I met him. There is a DC there

Spoiler for sexy situation:

and I engage and kiss it briefly. It doesn't seem into it, but then I offer up some tongue and it enthusiastically responds and we french for a few seconds.

I decide that I want to go on the tour now. I head back to the garage door and the man is there and I say something like "let's go on the tour." We head in to the garage. There is a small group now of people on the tour. There are a bunch of rooms all connected, like garage/laundry rooms. There are no spiders, I note. In one room I glance in and see a bunch of stuffed animals. Very life-like. One is a small dog. I think I could transform that dog into my old dog "L" and bring it back to life. We walk on.

I encounter the DC I was interacting with earlier

Spoiler for sexy situation:

and give it a quick squeeze around its crotch area. I reach for its butt too but

mistakenly touch some woman who's walking by. At that point some kid throws something at the woman, distracting her.

We're then in another room. This is the family of jr-high GF KS. This room preserves statues (like wax) of the 3 girls in the family as they were at various ages growing up, each one riding the bicycle that they had at that age. Also extremely life-like. I notice one who I think is HS (brown hair) but none of the faces are right. I also look for JS but don't see her. There are lots of people in the group of various ages, I see the face of a girl, I do not know her. Dream starts slowly slowly fading
and I'm awake. Try to DEILD back in but am awake, so I spend time recalling the dream.
Time lucid: ~4-5 mins

+ (LD#147) dolphin, animals, "Sylvah"
Memory of the dream begins with me walking into a room and stopping dead in my tracks, because there in the room standing on its "head" is a dolphin! It's "walking" that way? It's also part cucumber? I notice in the next room beyond two tiny penguins (pigeon-sized) standing close together. I do a nose pinch and I can breathe, am lucid. I thank the dolphin (and pat it?) as I walk by out on to the deck [of childhood home apparently]. In the corner to the right are some shelves with pairs of little live animals. There is a pair of pigeons there and I choose a pair of little rodents and put them on my right shoulder to perch there. I turn to the right looking down the length of the deck and ask them "what would you guys like to do? Go flying? "Find" some girls?" I reach the corner where the deck turns to the left and on the other side of the railing I see a girl there doing something. I say happily "Hi! My name's <real name>, what's your name?" She comes up to the other side of the railing and whispers something which I can't hear. I want her to speak louder. She says, audibly this time, "Sylvah." I reach over the railing and put each hand under each of her armpits and lift/pull her over the railing to my side. I place her with her back against the front railing. I lean down in front of her and kiss her briefly. I then ask, "would you like to go to the beach under the bridge?" She shakes her head and says "No....too cold....". I then say "how about an inland beach by a lake, warm?" She nods her head "yes." I want to get her into her bikini. I lift up her shirt (she's wearing something like loose pajamas) and see a bikini top, lower the top, and pull down her pants and she's wearing a bikini bottom.
the dream fades at this point (or I just lose lucidity).

I then return non-lucid to the place where the animals were on the corner of the deck by the door. I'm taking some notes with a pen on a plastic transparency. I realize the notes will be permanent. I'm recording how large a dose of sleeping pills I gave the girl (?). I write a big cursive "g" and a 3? I think "3g, no, that's way too much, probably meant mg." I think I shouldn't be writing this here, people will come and find what I've written.

Time lucid: ~1.5 mins

Sense of many many dreams this night. Forgot some early ones. Dream signs in bold.

+ apple tree
I'm standing in a small quiet garden. Someone else is here. In front of me I see a small tree with an umbrella-shaped canopy. It's about 10 feet tall. There is one large red & yellow mottled colored apple hanging from the tree. I reach for it and pick it. It is slightly bumpy, not perfectly spherical. It is pretty heavy and I imagine it will be really good. I say something to the person there. The leaves of the tree are completely covered with light webbing from worms/moths like on in my apple tree IWL.

+ basketball
Playing basketball, scramble for the ball, the other team ends up kicking it and it rolls all the way through our side of the court and out of bounds. I imagine taking it out. Later, I'm setting up a position to take a shot, from half-way up the key on the side (like when playing "round-the-world"). I will bank the ball off the backboard. I take the shot (but there's no ball visible?)

+ (f) video tape
Operating a tape in a video tape (VCR) machine. I see the tape and it's sort of thin.

WBTB

+ frisbee
I'm hanging out in a backyard near a fence with good friend IvKr (company L). I want to play frisbee with him but I sense he's reluctant because he doesn't want to throw the frisbee over the neighbor's fence and have to go searching for it in their yard. I say "that's OK, I have developed excellent control skills", and I take the frisbee and give it a light toss towards the center of the yard. It flies slowly about 10 feet and hovers for a second before dropping.

I run out into the center of the yard and I notice that the lawn is bare of grass in number of spots.
IK throws the frisbee really hard/fast and I manage to catch it and say "oh HO! So I can do strong throws like that, too!" And I show him how I used to [true IWL] throw "discuss-style" and say "in this way I can throw it for hundreds of yards!" and do a throw like this but very very softly so it doesn't fly over the fence.

Then I notice that IK is standing in the yard, naked, bent over, butt facing me, and is mooning me. I'm sort of grossed out by this but I see that he has a very female-looking butt and no male sex organs, it looks like a v-jay in fact. But I still look away because I "don't want to go blind."

+ fly from deck (LD#144)
I'm upstairs in my childhood home in my parents' bedroom. I pick up a pack of wet wipes and something else (a small cylinder?) and head to my bedroom for some "quality me-time". My door is open (there is no door?) and I think that's sort of risky since I'm just a room away from where people are. I turn right into my room from the hallway, and my son S2 is following me and I don't want him to see what I'm doing so I stash the things I'm carrying quickly on a shelf (on the wall of shelves) fairly high up and immediately head out and down the stairs. Part way down the stairs I look through the railing and see S2 is still in my room, craning his head poking into the shelves to see what I put there with a sort of smirk on his face and I'm annoyed at his persistence in trying to figure out what I'm doing.

I walk out on to the deck and lean forwards against the railing with my arms on the top and think why haven't I come out here yet on to the deck on this trip? There are a few strange bolts sticking up out of the top of the railing in a few places. I'm admiring the view. I turn go around the corner to the left towards the steps down to the garden and turn back towards the view. I get the idea of trying to fly. I think, "wouldn't it be awesome if I could transition into a dream and start flying from being totally awake, like I am now? I take a quick running start and stretch my arms out in front of me and wish that I could be lucid and fly, and I don't fall down, I'm flying, and I'm lucid! [*2] I fly out over the city below and I'm seeing the trees, buildings, roads, fairly far below me and really enjoying the view. I want to go faster so I pull back a fist and thrust it forwards quickly [*1] and I start moving over the landscape faster. I look up and see the view and city S in the distance, I want to go there.

I am now flying at ground level and a car is approaching across the water which fills the street. I want to get to the car, it's a small brownish-orange compact. It starts turning away from me and driving in a circle, but I'm really slow now. I want to go faster but can't. I do a bit of "air swimming". There's a female in the car I want to get to? As I get to the car, the dream fades.

[*1] like in the "superman with a go-pro" video
[*2] (It worked, I got lucid from being awake!?)

+ talking to tall guy friend (LD#145)
I'm standing in a garden outside in daylight, there are a lot of people there. I'm standing near the side of a house with a friend who's a very tall guy, who seems at least 1 foot taller than me. My friend is leaning his back up against the wall, and I'm standing in front of him, close, facing him, and looking up into his face. Another friend is standing to my right / his left. I'm trying to figure out just how tall he is. I hold my hand above my head at the level of the top of my friend's head and figure out his height. I say "you're what, like 6'7"?" He/the other friend says " 6'6" " I say " 6'6"? ".

Then I'm standing in my room in my childhood home [don't realize this] near the closet door and the window, standing close to this tall friend, with my right elbow on his left shoulder, with my right hand placed affectionately on the back of his head, and I'm telling him the details of lucid dream #144. "...Then I took off flying and I made the superman gesture and started flying even faster" "Cool!" my friend says. Then I look at my friend and I start to realize...and say "in fact, I'm lucid dreaming right now!" Let's go to the next room, there are a bunch of girls there and we can <bleep>. I lead him to the next room. There are lots of girls seated around (circular?) tables. I say "here, you can <bleep> this one, I want one with bigger <bleep>s, and select one. Dream is getting unstable/fading.

Then I'm non-lucid and standing with some girl (my choice when lucid?) and I'm handing her some bills from my wallet to pay for some classes which I want (my kids?) to take.

Placeholder, more detail to come later

wake at about 4.5 hours.
1 hour trying to BTS.
Up for WBTB
About another 2 hours BTS. Try SSILD, following the breath. Finally fall asleep and dream.

+ LD #142 (my young kids, going to school, coins in pockets). in the grocery store, contemplating the somewhat strange eggs, see naked girls riding in the grocery carts ("that's strange, normally they cover up when they do that"), get the urge to fly, don't get off the ground but I try again, I see people jump into the air in front of me and freeze, get lucid, the world turns greyscale, then the void, I try to open my dream eyes but waking eyes open, back to sleep

+ LD #143 running through the frat house, having sex with a woman who's bothering me/stalking me, basement door, stairs, scene fades to me saying "then I teleport them to a different location and have sex with them" and I find myself in bed with a naked beautiful blonde spread out before me, get lucid, sexy time ensues, it's stable and awesome, I say "we're stuck here forever! We'll never get out of here!" (experiment with pretend expectation to prolong LDs, like people who are afraid and can't wake up and seem to have really long LDs that way by getting "stuck" in FA loops). It's starting to look like my best LD sex *ever* AND THEN THE ALARM GOES OFF! It probably is the best so far in fact. Wow.

+ motorcycle riding, I like that I'm finally riding on my own motorcycle. I imagine that I will take care of it and clean the chain myself.

+ parking garage, driver drives my car off the ramp. I complain that he moved his hands to the right instead of the left How to get the car off the ledge? Guy: have to pull it out, Me: simple, just put it in reverse

+ encounter woman and girl outside the science musuem. I head home, and on the way see an abandoned cat in a blanket giving birth to kittens. Call out to woman, girl. The kittens are just a big head with big eyes. Back at childhood home the heads are more like rodents and running around getting lost in the couch. I dig up the couch cushions and see the cat has one of the head/hamsters in its mouth, I pry the round ball out of the mouth.

WBTB

+ boat outside window in canal, RM from company R (ex-boss) is the captain, I introduce myself but he can't hear (the boat is *really* loud) me or recognize me until I'm right in his face. I look a lot older than when I worked for him, and took off my glasses, I'm standing in company R because the walls and doors and everything around me is painted solid red! Talk to SS (founder company 3) about how I often dream about the old days at work, and doing chip bringups.

+ see jr high friend DD and another guy. They're moving. They leave a bag of random small stuff there. Is it for me to carry, or is he throwing it away? I decide I must pick it up and carry it.
Go to an area which appears to be a balloon blowing up company. I ask where I should put all this stuff. They say "file it under Lady Gaga, because nobody goes there."

After I file it I turn around and see a woman standing up on a balcony looking down at me from the second floor. Then I'm standing facing her closely with her back to the wall. I notice she's very tall, she goes back and forth between being just a bit taller than me, or right around my height, I can't quite decide. I say "wow you're tall! I'm 6 feet X inches!" I try to think if I should kiss her or not.

+ I'm outdoors on some terraced area, people are all around. I see a girl lying on the ground. I go over to her and get bold and lie on top of her and try to convince her without using any powers to 'engage' with me, she's not interested, dream fades…

… and I return to the dream nearby that girl, lucid. I see the dream forming, and at first the people I see are a strange combo of 2d and 3d. I just relax and try to let the dream settle and see an attractive woman and head for her. But then there's a big announcement about a tornado that is several hours away, and all the people get up and leave, I think that if the tornado is several hours away they really jumped the gun unnecessarily on the early announcement.

+ I'm standing in a room with people. It's sort of like a large kitchen. I see a woman standing at a sink (washing dishes?),

Spoiler for explicit sexy time:

she is bold and I see her grab the hand of a man next to her and pushes it on her right breast. This makes me go "zing" and I'm lucid and I go right up behind her. I reach for her breasts from around her back with both hands, and I made a quick gesture to take down my pants and hers but we remain clothed and I'm pressing up against her. I make a gesture to take off her top and bra, and quickly reach for her (I think) naked breasts with both hands, but a bra instantly appears and I'm grabbing over the outside of the bra. I "whip off" the bra again and make a quick reach and again another (different color?) bra instantly appears blocking me. I then lean up and put my mouth against her right ear and say, "Hey baby, why don't you take off your bra so I can see your <bleep>s?" Then the bra is gone, I look over her shoulder and see I'm now holding each of her naked breasts in my hands, and give them a good long squeeze. I look up and see we're standing in front of a mirror, she is hazy/vague, but I see my head poking up above her and I get the impression that my face matches my current appearance. At one point she turns her head to the right to look back at me, her mouth is sort of strange, open and her lips/jaw looks angular.

I'm in a house standing in front of a screen on the wall, there is a lever control on the left and a knob on the right. I'm seeing the view of the same house I'm in through this screen, and there are some naked girls walking around. Then some people come and I'm trying to cancel this screen image by turning the level and knob, but it doesn't turn off, I start turning more quickly and eventually the image does turn off.

+(f) walking through a large open area with work areas. I'm giving a tour, I point out "this is the crafts area," and to the left there are some more artists areas, but they're private, and the girl there I see shakes her head and does not want to be part of the tour. Then I'm walking through this area with some young people and I forget the details.

+(f) there is a rush of people heading towards the elevator. I get on and lean against the wall because I'm tired, but there are some old people coming and they'll want my spot so I have to get up and give it to them.

bedtime a bit late, but natural waking at 08:30 on schedule

didn't record earlier dreams, mostly lost. Felt a bit bad that recall wasn't great at earlier waking. Better recall later. Short late "waking" LD to end the night.

later waking had good detail, vivid/present dreams, middle dream mostly forgotten

1. +(f, unsure) flying an airplane?

2. + crazy basketball [ds]
Playing basketball. Guys are making lots of long 3-pointers at the beginning of the game. During a free throw one guy comes up from the back and makes an amazing high shot that zips through the hoop so fast and and such a funny angle that no one is sure if it is actually a basket or not. Slow motion replay shows that it is. Taking the ball out from out of bounds.

I'm trying to make layups with folded up towels. This is a layup class. I'm standing RIGHT THERE under the basket but none of my shots gets even close. This is frustrating. At one point I use two hands and the "ball" (wadded up towel) goes farther but still doesn't score.

3. +(f) dog
Leaving house with wife and others, the dog starts whining loudly, wife says something like "man up." I'm annoyed by this. I go to the dog (German Shepard looking) and try to put on its collar, which is in two semi circles with round things on each end of the arc. I try to put the leash on to the collar ring and finally get it in place.

4. + uneven pavement SUV
I'm riding in a big SUV in the front passenger seat. (The driver is a guy who IWL our building is having problems with). We're bouncing over uneven pavement. The car's suspension has reached a bouncing frequency that makes the front wheels hop up just at the right time to get over the large uneven sections in the street which are bound with metal on the edges. I say "good job" for avoiding the bumps. I "remember" that on another street parallel to us there is another crack and talk about it. I can't remember the name of the street, I know it is located by turning left then right. I say "what's the name of that street that leads to A. hill?" A guy (in the back of the car?) answers "Crawdad Street(?)". The crack on that street also needs to be avoided.

5. + military presence, wedding/funerals

Standing outside urban environment, we're heading to the church to get married(us? kids?). Other groups are also heading to the church for funerals. A large group with a lot of caskets are approaching, individual men are carrying each casket. Are the caskets empty? That must be heavy. We should hurry, where's my wife? If they get to the church ahead of us we may have to wait all through the funeral service before the wedding. It's bad luck to be married at the same time a funeral service is going on.

There are military helicopters flying just past the fence which is made of poles. The tail section of one helicopter I notice is gradually approaching the fence where it can/will get caught. It does get caught and the helicopter goes down on its side. I have a feeling we should rush the cockpit while we can.

To the right down the street a big company of soldiers runs up. They're wearing red uniforms. I think it's pretty funny that this huge force was sent to deal with us, we're just standing around waiting for the church, ooooh, how scary we are!

6. + crazy racquetball
Playing on a somewhat dark court against a lot of guys. I'm serving and scoring points. I alter my service location between the left and right back corners. I'm serving standing on the right of the service area and serving towards the left back corner, score, count (it seems my score is a bit low for how long I've been here winning points), then I quickly step to the left side of the service box and serve towards the back right corner which completely takes them by surprise and they don't even go for it. One serve/shot comes back off the back wall fast and they can't catch up to it, another point for me. One one point I score by a corner shot against the left front corner.

Another guy comes in to play against me. "Another one?" I say? I think the court is getting really crowded.

There is a woman wearing glasses sitting down on a chair on the right front area of the court beyond the service box. I'm annoyed by this. I tell her she's in the way, and that she could get hurt. "The ball moves at 200mph and your'e not wearing safety glasses." I think I may be exaggerating but on some shots the ball could go really fast, if you put a speed gun on it to measure it it may be closer to 100 mph. She and I get into an argument. "Well you're not wearing safety goggles either!" she says. "Yeah but <something>" I say, I'm getting really angry and she's backing out of the court. She says "I'm a journalist and I'm going to write a story about you" (and your behavior). When she's gone I'm in the service box and start justifying myself to a guy playing. "She did not respond to reason in the beginning, <so things got out of hand>". I'm a bit concerned about the article she's going to write is going to present me in a bad light and people will think poorly of me, even though they don't have the whole story.

(wake and recall dreams?)

7. + LD#139
I'm outdoors in an urban environment. I had to go get something at my car. I start jogging back to the racquetball game. I feel very light on my feet, like I've lost weight. I feel the rub of the jeans on my legs every time I raise them up to jog another step forwards. I think I'll need to change into my shorts back at the court, I hope my racquet is still there.

Up ahead I see girls in uniforms entering a University. School is in session again. They look nice. I do a nose pinch to see if I'm dreaming ["If I were dreaming right now…."], and I am! I debate where I should go. On the one hand I'd really like to play racquetball lucid, I've been looking forwards to that for a long time, I should keep heading back to the courts. On the other hand: girls! I decide to follow the crowd in the right door. There is one girl with long blond hair right in front of me and I go up to her and face her and start talking to her. I ask her what year she is. The dream fades and I'm awake.

Analysis/commentary/misses
---------------------------------
2. fairly reliable DS. I've played basketball with wadded up towels for balls before in dreams. Can't make a simple shot over and over again.

3. this was a longer dream, forgot a lot of it

4. poor memory and reaching for something I think I should know it is a fairly reliable dream sign, need to catch these.

5. lots of odd things here. "How odd is this?" should catch this. Especially the huge company of soldiers running up to our group.

6. Major dream sign, I will catch this one day and play lucid racquetball!

7. Happy that pretty girls got me lucid fairly quickly . Unfortunately, no stabilization, and I should have grabbed the girl and taken her to go play racquetball instead of just standing there staring at her hoping the dream doesn't end which of course made it end. Goals! Narrate! Lucid Lab!

Yesterday IWL I started working on being aware of my path, location, and *how I'm moving*. I paid attention to my legs and the feel of my legs walking, looking down to see them and my feet. I paid attention to changes of direction, location transitions, and transitions in the material the ground is made of. This "feel of my legs inside my jeans" in the dream may have come from that!

+ I'm driving in a town and see up ahead a (wagon?) with soaking wet guys and girls, like high school students, (narrator?) commends them for completing the task and sticking with it after others have left.

I'm driving by a house and look at it there are people mulling around the front, I wonder if this is the Halloween party I want to go to.

I pull up in front of a house with a Halloween party going on. There's a girl on my lap, sort of vague/hazy.

Spoiler for explicit sexual stuff:

I'm in the driver's seat and she's sitting on top of me (facing away?) I start kissing and licking her leg, she doesn't complain so I reach for her pants button. I unbutton her pants and in one smooth motion I pull down her pants, she lies back sideways with her back/head on the passenger seat, and I lean down and begin oral on her. She says "oh yeah, eat my <epithet>!" I'm going at it and I look at her face, it is a very accurate rendition of ex-gf SB including hair color. In my peripheral vision I notice the (high school kids?) from the party are climbing up on the hood of the car and looking in the windshield. I say (in a sexy way, not concerned), "do you like it that they're watching me eat your <epithet>?!".

Apparently, however, she does not like it, because she sits up and seems shocked/mortified. I'm miffed and decide to start the car and back out / start driving. She opens the door and gets out. She is now a different unknown girl, long dark hair, quite pretty, there seems to be a contact sheet of images floating around the windshield and her image is also there. I command her "get back into the car!" but she shakes her head and doesn't get in. I get angry and drive away in a huff.

WBTB. Long BTS. I feel myself slooooowly sinking deeper into sleep, but it's really slow and with many thoughts arising that I need to continually let go and focus on relaxation. Finally "call in the nukes" and turn on to my stomach (position of last resort), and fall asleep.

+ I'm at the base of a tree so tall it's upper branches are shrouded in darkness. For a long while I'm just looking up the length of its branchless trunk, straining to see any upper branches but up high there is only darkness and shadow. There is a woman and her daughter there too, the girl is sitting near me, maybe leaning a bit on me. I ask the name of the tree, the woman answers "a red <something>." I say in a foreign language, "it's very tall."

My back is to the tree and my wife is there, I want to go to the glacier, but in the dream I can't remember this word, I ask her "what's that place <with snow, in foreign language> called?", she refuses to tell, since she doesn't want to go there. I ask her several times and get frustrated both that I can't remember the term [glacier], and that she's not telling me this word.

+(f) walking along a shoreline, seeing people swimming / bobbing in the fairly large waves [gee it only took almost 3 weeks at a seaside resort location to get one of these]

+ (LD#138) I'm in a store/gym, I'm walking and stepping my way among some stuff on the ground, I feel funny/dizzy like I'm losing my balance, I suspect, despite feeling *completely awake*, pretty much lucid now, nose pinch confirms. The people around me mostly vanish, there's one clear DC in front of me, I reach for it, and take each one of its hands in mine, we're facing each other and looking into each other's eyes. I start to transform it into a girl of my desire, saying "You look a lot like <xyz>". But I stop myself. I think of TOTM. I try to remember my chant/cheer and come up with "fart bus." Fart is easy/fast so I decide to do that, there are people still around me. So I stand up tall, stick my butt way out behind me and push a bit, but get no sensation or sound, but regardless I stand up and jump up and down and shout out "It was me! It was me!" Satisfied that I completed the task, I grab my DC again, and tell it

Spoiler for sexual stuff:

"you like to [give BJs], don't you?!" It's sort of a "living stick person" with no features at this point. It's short so I kneel down and position my face to kiss it and think of some BJ action starting

but then I wake up.

Yesterday (morning of 2015-08-18 comp #1):

+ pool party for cool guy, girl jumping across pool stream, girl drowning in pool stream (T daughter), pull her our and administer CPR, she's a barbie doll, coughs our brown/yellow water eventually

WBTB

+ teaching S2 to drive, thugs in the intersection (there goes the neighborhood!), at first I'm nice with them "I'm teaching my son to drive!" then I get angry and chase them off, throwing swiss cheese at them, I get concerned that they're Danny Glover's kids. A black man starts walking following us in the (now toy) car, I'm concerned this is Danny Glover and I try to ignore this and take several short turns, I decide I should turn and face him, then I see he is not Danny Glover. He says "You told my kinds you'd make our lives hell if we moved here?", then he jumps head first into the ground up to half of his body and only his legs are sticking up and one of them sort of folds over flapping there.

+ work meeting at N, there's a mole from R; girl talking about how many day's I've been working

+ at DD's dad's restaurant, they specialize the sauce for each individual customer's preferences

+(f) climbing a large structure of rough rocks

+ early investors complaining complaining that later investors got a much better deal

+(f) decorating a very large room


Today (morning of 2015-08-19, comp #2):

+ talking to guy who gets scary, flying (backwards?) over pine trees and little flying (bullets?), strange procession including the "King of the University" who approves my request (thanks to dad)

+(f) sexy-time

Spoiler for sexy time:

I'm finger-blasting a girl

+(f) a guy and a TV, trying to get it to tune in

+ bowling 2 frames, floating over the lanes, tripping the foul line

+ reading music, playing my instrument, the notes are mostly low, including an F#

+ major renovation at childhood park, basketball level extended far forwards adding two more rows of courts, they've cut down most of the trees in order to make space for this, scary guys, look underneath the ground to see massive (water?) storage tank area

WBTB

+ CD wants to move to "Heh-ward", I think this is a bad move, but I decide it's poor form to say anything

+ standing at counter, trying to figure out CG model, sexy-time a model?, girl at counter chastises me for confusing things; son screwing a girl on the side of highway, "they'll see what you're doing!"; pretty girl calibrating sensitive speech-recognition device, see counter girl again and joke about earlier antics

+ (LD #137) strange stars/lights, massive crowd laser-pointer effects show, climb hill, people sleeping on blankets among the crowd, cat walks and sits on guy's face, evading assassin with Kyle Chandler, assassin captured and put in irons, enter store, give guy my second soda, stop by pretty girl sitting at a table with another girl. She's sitting with her legs up on the bench, I'm on her right side. She is leaning up against the back of the bench.

Spoiler for Sexy-time content, LD#137 inside:

I come up to her and reach out my right hand and rub her stomach, I'm a bit concerned about a reaction from her or the other girl. I look at her crotch and she's wearing a very thin covering like a bikini bottom and nothing on her legs, I can clearly see the shape of her (ahem) through the thin outfit, a very clear camel toe. I look at her face, and I tell her "You're really pretty!", she answers in a really sweet voice, "Thank you!". Then I realize I'm dreaming and say "I'm dreaming" as a confirmation. I look back down at her (ahem), and lightly reach out a finger towards where her skin is poking out a bit from under her covering, think about reaching in under but the clothing is too tight. There are a few small whips of hair poking out. She peels off her bottom and her (ahem) is fully exposed. I lean down and lick around for a while, then sit up and look at her, wonder about the dream stability, and

I wake up.

early sort of vague, long BTS after a short WBTB, followed by a mega-TOTM top-5 (maybe best ever) LD

Note: I listened to PercyLucid's MILD audio class all the way through this week, and have taken up several of his suggestions and his mantra "I will have lucid dreams TONIGHT, or VERY SOON!" I do his MILD, holding a still mental image of my desired dream scene in my head as I fall asleep. I've been doing it for about half a week at this point.

Betime: midnight-ish. Glass of red wine some hours earlier (4?) at dinner. One Opti-Men multivitamin around 3-4pm.

06:11, ~3 minutes of voice notes

+ standing among statue/memorials, where the shape of the stone is a language conveying a message ("Hindu"). In particular the place where the column narrows in diameter and then widens out again has some sort of special meaning. I read "pardo" chiseled into one of the columns (they're about 4 feet high).

+ several big bags of galantamine capsules have arrived from Amazon, and a bag of small round B6 tablets. The boxes were opened (I guess by my wife), and the big see-through plastic baggies (Halloween candy bag sized) are lying there on my bed along with the Amazon invoice. The galantamine capsules are large, about the size of my current Alpha-GPC capsules (which are real horse pills, it takes eating bread/drinking water to get them down). I put some in my mouth and start chewing them? I wonder if I have time left in my dreaming night to take some or if it's too late.

Looking at the fine, thick, luxurious paper that Amazon uses for printing invoices, and the detailed high quality printing, I realized this is why I use Amazon, for this level of detail & quality.

+ circular cushion, it has to last a lifetime, one kid is jumping up and down and I severely discipline it, it gets progressively younger as I do so until it becomes an infant and rolls off on to the ground; two families different religious traditions are sharing this circular couch thing, it's OK with one family because their attention is usually focused outwards, you're not supposed in their tradition to use the middle part.

I'm wandering in and out of sleep as I review the prior dreams.

WBTB, BTS

It takes about an hour to get back to sleep it feels like. Need to put on a sleep mask as the room is too light now.

08:51, ~16 minutes of voice notes

+ LD #133 (TOTM advanced I & bonus success): KILD

I'm in a fairly dark area with people, I hear (students and teachers?) talking about math, I remember hearing "N-squared". I seem to be re-entering this area, and notice in front of me a teacher lady lying on a reclining garden/beach lounge chair, facing me. She's by herself. I go towards her, lean down over her in order to kiss her, and as my face approaches hers I get lucid. I continue in for a quick kiss on the lips and say "I'm dreaming!" I get up and head up a stairway to the left, saying "I didn't go up here last time through". There is a very wide open platform up there. Up ahead along a long wall stretching along the platform is an open door, and I enter.

Band Practice (TOTM basic I missed opportunity):
Inside is a large, wide, but not deep, well-lit band room. Most of the room is off to my left (the door is on the right edge of the room). There to the left on a series of risers are the band student musicians (seems like high school aged) sitting with their instruments. I look for a guy playing (my instrument), and see him in the 3rd/4th row up, and call to him to show me his instrument. He holds it up and I nod, "nice. What's your name?" I ask, "Norman," he answers (delay not too long, sometimes my DCs don't know their names well!). "I'll be back later" I say and head out the door, starting to think of TOTM.

Moon (TOTM Advanced-II)-fail:
I try to remember my TOTM task cheer song, and all I can remember at first is the rhythm. Argh! I finally remember the moon rock task. I decide I will grab a chunk of the moon and eat it. I look up into the night sky, slightly hazy, but with lots of distinct stars, the background is not totally black. I clearly see the stars at high resolution, and notice several satellites lazily making a straight path from one side of the vision to the other. I follow one's progress for a few seconds enjoying the view. I will the moon to appear, several times, but it does not appear.

I am now in the backyard of my childhood home, still looking up at the sky for the moon. I start to hear my mother's voice.

Mom:
I hear her voice clearly, like she was standing next to me. I know she's in the house. I'm now floating fairly high over the house looking down, and am amazed at the clarity and accuracy of her voice. Sometimes voices in my dreams do not sound right, but this is perfect. She is speaking coherently but I do not remember anything that she said, she's talking to my father. I'm trying to get down to the house and have some trouble, I have to air-swim a bit. The house is not right: it appears to be a sort of a modern, multi-section compound with rooms of differing shapes from above. Then I'm on the deck at the back door, still hearing her voice, and I enter, go through the kitchen, and expect to see her there and see her walking through the dining room heading towards the living room, her back is to me. I get really happy, finally I'm going to see her in a dream!
(in waking life she passed away two months ago).
I follow and enter the dining room, imagining her being really happy to see me. She turns and sees me and I open my arms wide, (I'm wearing a light jacket and quickly unzip it and hold up my arms with the ends of the jacket, kind of like bat wings), and she comes to me and I give her a big hug, kissing her cheek and I tell her "I really miss you!" I see her and her face clearly. She seems young. Either she or my dad answers, and says something like now it is time for me to be with my father.

Mom saves a FA:
I find myself waking, and I still hear my mother's voice. If I can still hear her voice, that means I'm still dreaming! I have no visuals and decide to slowly "open my eyes." I seem to be in my childhood home's living room still, with something on my head, like sheets or a blanket. I sit up and stand up. I try for a little bit while walking forwards towards the kitchen to take the thing off that feels like a towel wrapped around my head, but I can't get it off, it's like a really really long sheet is hanging there and I just can't get it off. I decide just ignore it (and then it stops bothering me). My mother is standing at the doorway between the dining room and the living room just on the kitchen side. She looks really young, thin, healthy, and happy. Shes wearing a bright lipstick, orange-ish. I say "you look like you're doing great!" while I stand close to her with my hands on her waist, and something like "we will meet again!".

Dinos! (TOTM Advanced-I success):
After seeing my mother, I go out on the deck and ask my sister to take me to show me where the dinosaurs are
(asking DCs to do stuff for me is fast becoming my favorite dream control method).
She takes me to the corner of the deck and I look down and see weird beasts walking down the stairs to the backyard lawn (in particular notice one big black quadruped freaky looking thing walking down). I go down off the end of the deck and mount some small furry thing that I think is actually a movie monster of some sort. I'm a bit concerned about this not counting since I don't think this is a dinosaur. I ride it down the stairs to the lawn. There I imagine and see a medium-sized Trex there battling with a medium-sized King Kong. They're both between 15-20 feet tall: definitely big, but not immense. I jump and land expertly on the back of the T-rex. I imagine a faintly strange beastly odor. I'm sitting fairly high on its back/lower neck, and urge it forward to run up the stairs because I'm concerned about Kong. I urge it and imagine it running really fast, I'm "pushing" it forwards by "pushing on the reins" and it's leaping up the stairs towards the street but it just doesn't get going fast enough to please me, Kong is still chasing. Up on the street Kong attacks and I jump/fall away...

Black Hole (TOTM Bonus, success):
... and (am in the void? Rub hands for a while, feel them, dream is solid, visuals return), I'm in a garage (childhood home?), I exit and turn to the right (180 degrees) and there is a large open plaza full of college-aged young people ahead of me. I try again to remember the full TOTM cheer song and I again can only remember the 2nd half (advanced) and "...Black Hole! Black Hole! Raa raa Raa!" I've already done one advanced, so why not? I decided to summon a black hole and jump in. I walk forwards a bit to get where the crowd starts, I hold out my hands straight in front of me and pull them apart quickly, imagining a massive black sphere appearing: instead something big dark and round flashes and disappears. OK, again! (I wonder what the students will think of the black hole!) I put my arms together, pull them apart quickly, and this time a large sphere appears solidly before me which I know is the black hole. Only it's partially reflective mirror-surfaced, which I think is fine because everybody knows that light plays funny tricks around black holes. I dive forwards into it and try to feel the sensations. I don't feel much, after a brief disorientation I find that I'm inside a sphere sort of like a one-way mirror, I can see out but people can't see in. There is a filtering effect looking out like sunglasses. The party is going on all around me in the plaza still and everyone is ignoring me. The black hole is about the same size inside as outside (about 8-10 feet in diameter, tall enough to stand in). There's a girl standing near the edge of the black hole on the outside and I pull her in (and kiss her?). The dream wavers/I enter a bit of the void and call for a DC to take my hand and pull me out, and "John" does just that, and the dream continues from there...

John and boobs:
I asked for a DC to take me by the hand and lead me from the Black Hole sphere, and a guy does grab my hand firmly and lead me out. We start walking together, I decide his name is "John." As we're walking through the crowd, a girl comes towards us .

Spoiler for sexy stuff:

I grab her and hold her by the shoulders and sort of push her along in front of us (she seems slightly uncooperative but doesn't make a fuss), I start squeezing her boobs through her clothing. Double handed at first with my left arm around her back. Then I decide to let John have the left boob and tell him to take it and I stick with the right one. I think I stripped her top off or at least exposed her breasts, but I was on purpose not staring at her so as to keep the dream going and it seemed to work great. Then we approach a table with some other people mulling around, and decide to have sex with her together with John, hoist her up on the table and the dream fades. In the void. I try an interesting variant on "hand rubbing" and start pulling my "ahem." Definitely feels like dream body, so I'm still dreaming. It gets longer and longer, and seems fairly small diameter, but seems to be getting a bit hard. I want John to help me enter the girl.

Eventually I have John take my hand again and lead me back into the dream, works again, visuals return. I look at and touch briefly the edge of the table. Then I leave them both and move on down the path.

Girl outside:
I've lost a bit of lucidity, I'm standing outside a door to a building, as I move towards it a girl sitting on a bench calls to me "<redacted>" which gets my attention.

Spoiler for sexy stuff:

I instantly kneel down in front of her and pull off her pants. Looking at her sex organs it seems to waver to look male for a bit, I will it to return to girl and it does and I begin oral on her. I begin moving my tongue enthusiastically and start to feel the connection superimposed with my waking tongue

and this brings me back to full lucidity. I stop with her and enter the door in to the building.

Girl inside:
Inside is a large mostly empty space, I spot two girls sitting at a desk not far away. I head right for them and sit down, noticing the girl on the left and give her my attention.

Spoiler for sexy stuff:

As I sit down I reach for her body and rub her torso a little bit with my two hands. I'm close to her face and I look at her and appreciate her beauty and lean in for a kiss, I feel it well. I try for some tongue but again it starts to superimpose with my waking tongue so I stop that. I kiss her again with just lips, short, but really nice.

I move my gaze to look back up over my shoulder to the my left so as not to stare at her too long, I catch a scene of some busy detail outside the door I came in through.

I stand up quickly and take her hand and lead her away, just desiring to be in motion. I'm holding her left hand with my right, and I start swinging our arms while we walk. <Something about a vending machine?> The dream starts to fade and I use contact with the girl to come back and continue a bit:

Spoiler for sexy stuff:

I stick my right ring finger in her mouth and push it in and out a bit, I feel the warmth and wetness of her mouth. Then the same with my middle finger then the same with my index finger, telling her to really suck hard and she does.

This brings me back into the dream. I then get the great idea to

Spoiler for sexy stuff:

repeat with my (ahem), I place it in her mouth and tell her to suck hard, I start to feel it and I see her face down there with my (ahem) in her mouth

and the dream fades, this time it feels like for good, so I start gathering my recall and prepare to record.

Awesome night. I'll never complain about getting up early to fix breakfast again…

earlier:

+ hailing the remote controlled car at a busy intersection, trying to get to the same curb on the street that it's driving on to meet it

+(f) my friend MR wants to apprentice for the master (guy), we both can't do it (so I'll have to drop out?), we say he may not be interested in a rank beginner, see a store with products on the shelves?

+ I'm at multiple laptops connecting to the net, with wife, transparent keyboards, connect, connect to networked ASCII game that my wife's brother is playing at his apartment, something about the asteroid material and special beings

make breakfast, then BTS, later:

+ LD #132: I'm standing outside in daylight of a white home, talking with TZ, who's leaving. I ask him how did he leave his work ("Are you retiring? Taking a sabbatical?"). After he leaves I enter the home, everything is white. I realize I haven't seen my dog L in a long time, I think he's gone/lost, I should have asked TZ about him before he left. I run crying hysterically through house that I can't find my old dog L, I imagine seeing his empty house, little poops around, then I stop & think maybe this isn't a tragedy, maybe I'm dreaming I do a nose pinch and can clearly breath. Now I'm lucid, I decide to do a TOTM. I try and try to remember a single TOTM task, I feel like they're all right there on the tip of my tongue and will come to me any second, but they just don't.

Spoiler for explicit sexual situations:

I notice a black girl leaning over a counter with her butt in my direction and all thoughts of the TOTM are gone. Always wanted to get with a black girl! I pull down her pants and try to enter her from the back. Things are a bit vague and don't quite fit. My (ahem) is sticking up out of her pointing in the air, and I grab a girl (or two?) to the left and tell her to take care of that with her mouth. The two new girls offer me to move to the cot to the right and for me to get on the bottom. I'm a bit surprised by this, girls usually don't take the initiative in sexy LDs. I ask "right over there, huh? OK" and move over there.

As I'm moving over there I notice there are a variety of odd-shaped clocks on the wall, and I think about clocks misbehaving in dreams, but I just glance at them and don't give them another thought.

Sexy time going on for a while with the two girls, I notice that this has been a fairly long experience, longer than usual. They're both down around my legs and they start to disappear. One of them comes up as if to mount me cowgirl style with her breasts hanging down over my face and I reach for them and think "this is good, this is a position I like to climax in."

The dream ends/transitions.

+ I'm next to a group of girls, sitting down against a wall.

Spoiler for sexual situations:

I lean down over them, moving my mouth to each of their's, the first several ones do not respond. The one to the left at the corner does respond with her lips and we start making out. A bit later I realize I'm still kissing her, and I'm moving my hips as if having intercourse with her with a weak sensation,

the dream ends

+ in room with friends, it's in friend MR's childhood room. There are boxes of things lining the far wall covered with a tarp, I think my things are in there but the group is covering them up (they want me to leave?). In the middle of the floor is a strange vita-mix blender. The base is normal sized, but the blender container is really small, just a few cups of capacity, I think that's a pretty useless vitamin.

Lying there on the ground towards the end of the room, I see MZ's (TZ's son) pile of sticks of gum (he likes Wrigley's Mint types, I have two of the white sticks). They've taken away the bed, don't want me around, I'm out in the hallway looking for the girl's room

+ donating typewriters to the Science museum, meeting with a guy at the front desk

+ son is sticking his face into the crotch of the (gymnast) when she spreads her legs, she's working out on the bottom bunk of bunk beds. Her back is to him so she can't see what he's doing. She's holding on to the upper bunk bed and doing the splits, that's when he sticks his nose right up against her butt. I tell him not to do that. Initially I'm from the side of the bed. Change position, I'm looking down the length of the bed now, and notice she's bottomless, and when she spreads I catch a glimpse of her (ahem) and a patch of dark pubic hair. She continues doing the splits and my sons jumps/falls in right with his head/nose stuck directly in her (ahem).

I'm naked wrapped in a yellow bath towel trying to figure out how to get with some girls. There's a group there, but they're leaving. I leave this place and enter pool area (through a door?). Immediately upon entering I see MZ (gum guy) riding a 4-wheel motorized vehicle built out of swimming pool noodles, I watch him drive away.

I arrive to another area, there's a big play rehearsal going on, I see my son in this fatigue sweats, my wife waves to me.

Two older middle-aged couples slide up on the snow from behind me (in the direction I came), the wives are riding on the slippery white bodies of their husbands on top of the snow.

Really? I haven't posted here in 4 days? Wow I'm slipping! A fairly great night, finally, both LDs and fairly good recall.

00:00 (approximate) bedtime

02:00? (unknown) get up to pee
takes a while (10-15 minutes?) going back to sleep, I repeat "the next time I'm dreaming, I realize that I'm dreaming" to myself while falling asleep

04:16

+ LD #129 (first recalled dream of the night is a lucid, that is a first for me I think!) I'm in an international airport connecting flight area/border control, some of our group is down the long (curving?) hallway at the border control. I see my other travelling mates with their suitcases, I don't have mine, I realize I've left my suitcase on the previous airplane. I panic, what will I do, there is only 15 (25?) minutes for the connection, and I'd have to re-cross border controls/customs, they may not let me through. I decide I must go back for it, and start running fast. I think without the suitcase I'll have (no clothing?) for the (camp?) we're going to. I'm running really fast and am really concerned, when I get the notion that maybe there's no reason to worry if this is a dream, I do a nose pinch while running and it clearly indicates dream. I'm lucid and still running, part of what got me lucid perhaps was the fast speed I was running, completely effortlessly, and I'm amazed for a moment at this.

Spoiler for sexually explicit:

Pretty much all caveman all the rest of the dream. The first few encounters I don't recall. Then I see some women standing among a line of trees/border in between rows of a parking lot (outdors, night). One of them I "remember" having the hots for, she's middle-aged but hot so I go up to her and present myself for a BJ, she says "with what, all your two inches!?" I'm sort of annoyed but ignore it and get a BJ for a while. Then she takes off her top and her bra and she has an odd flat chest. I move on. I meet a young man with glasses and he takes off his shirt (and bra?) and also has an odd looking chest, I move on since I'm not into guys.

I come upon a car full of Asian (Japanese?) people, there is a Japanese couple (man & woman) right there and I grab the woman by the shoulders and say "excuse me, I'll just take her" and pull her to the side and get going on a BJ, she kneels down in front of me and I think "yes this is a very good position, I should do this more!" and she gets going really well, really fast, it feels great, (a smartphone is involved somehow?), I think I may be able to climax soon. Then I look up and see some women standing nearby (I'm kneeling now?) and choose an Indian woman and reach up under her shirt and squeeze and pull one of her boobs (she has a slightly exasperated expression on her face) and

the dream ends/transitions.

+ LD #130 FA in bed (false dream home), on a high bed-stand next to us I see a white sleep/lucid dreaming mask with little LED lights on stalks, my wife reaches for and is handling/talking about this her "favorite" of my sleep masks, I'm concerned that she'll see it's more than just a sleep mask. I'm starting to suspect, then when I see my wife, who's still looking down at me, is floating up to the ceiling and bouncing around there I get lucid and a clear nose pinch confirms it. She's really bright, clear, shining, and beautiful. I notice/say "Hey you're young and hot, let's (get it on) like we used to" and I

Spoiler for sexually explicit:

reach up and massage her breasts through her top, and pull her down and lay her on her back on the bed, and (pull down our pants?) and begin intercourse (it's a vague sensation).

About this time I notice out the window on the street below (we're about the 3rd floor) across the street a military/security vehicle, white and cube-like and open like a jeep with some triangular insignia on the driver door (facing me) is pulling up and stops, I look away so that this will not distract me from the sex. During the sex I look down again and see there's a man and young woman in the jeep, I meet the eyes of the young woman and decide to show off, I point to my sexual activity and give the woman two thumbs up, she nods and returns a gesture and makes a kind of humping motion to indicate she understands.

My "wife" at this point seems like some sort of mechanical construction and the sex is unsatisfying, and then another of my wife enters the room with some things in her hands and indicates we need to choose some poster to put in to the plastic folder hanging off of the bed (it's somehow to please our cat?).

+(f) kissing a DC (redacted)

(later)
+ semi-epic multi-scene long: at the basketball level of childhood neighborhood park:
1) watching fencing competition, I'm standing on the sloping road leading down to that level looking down. I admire the performance of a friend of mine, the fancy thrusts he makes. Afterwards, I go down and want to meet him and imagine holding his foils in my hand and what sort of grip they have (there are two of them). I then move to the far side of the level and want to enter the hot tubs with the other competitors, at first there is force/gravity/wind that blows me a bit to the exit road leading down to the street but I recover and enter the hot tubs and have an animated chat about something.

2) a vicious angry dog is gripping the back of my pants on the belt, I'm trying to placate/distract it to get away. I reach around to pet it (nervous about getting bitten), pet it, speak soothingly towards it, I'm walking up the path to the middle level. Back down on the basketball level there are containers of (breakfast cereals?) on the retainer wall and I scatter some treats down on the ground and this distracts the dog.

3) I'm walking back towards the road to the middle level and see along the right a table of free cookies and other things, I think how great it is to work here to have these treats all the time. I'm looking at the cookies and take some into my hand, some look like big round really dark chocolate brownies, they're soft. Across the table I see a chocolate and red velvet muffin that looks awesome and I go around to get it, but some guy reaches for it as soon as I get there. Next to it is a full chocolate/red velvet cake so I quickly pick it up and put it on my (dirty with chocolate crumbs/sauce) plate to cut a piece before anybody can grab it, and I push it round a bit with my finger to get it in to the right position. The red velvet dude chastises me for touching the cake with my fingers which I thought I wouldn't have had to do if he hadn't have grabbed the muffin I wanted in the first place.

+ I'm moving down S avenue towards HC childhood home, the house on the left at the big right turn is being demolished and I'm surprised to see only the brick skeleton remaining among the ruins. On HC facing my childhood home, I see both the L's house to the left and the G's house to the right have new construction on them (new dreamsign, 3rd, 4th time this has happened recently). The L's house has new levels and some towers added on top, and the G's house is not much higher but the front has been completely redone and is has a lot of fancy details and decorations on the exterior walls. I'm looking carefully to see if new levels have been added and it seems like about 1/2 of a level has been added on the left wing. I'm amazed at how fast that appeared because this is the first time I'm seeing it, I ask my parents when did that happen, how did it change so quickly?

08:45

+(f) with financial advisers and parents, tell dad he should sell some stocks or other investments, he's hesitant

+(f) stuck in some stairway exiting a parking garage at a security station, there's a flat wide locked metal barrier (sort of like an ironing board but rectangular) a guy helps me out, a small lift lowers down I put a foot on it and ride it up, he says I stood on the wrong part of the lift, I don't care

+(f) (vague) (DO?) guy says to parent "you're the one who's going to kill him, so go you go first" (gesturing to the Tribes inventory station)

Lots of pee wakings, drank a full cup of water before bed, but it was actually probably the two cups of green tea a few hours before bed that caused me to wake up a lot.

earlier, about 5 hrs.

+ night baseball: I observe some fielding, (the 2nd baseman ran all the way to left field?). I'm heading out to the pitcher's mound, I'm taking 3 (softballs?) with me to the mound. I think I should give the other team one of the balls so they can practice, I hold it up and gesture towards them, and toss it to them.

I pick up a bat (I'm still on the pitcher's mound?) and prepare to swing at the pitch, I feel weak like I can't swing strong, I hit the ball but it's a weak line drive, I run for first base and just barely beat the throw but it's not clear where first base is, the lines are not clean and there's no bag there. I may in fact be off the base. The firstbaseman and a coach (sounds like Kyle Chandler?) are discussing this but I just ignore them and nobody tells me I'm out so I prepare to run for second. I think that I should be running as soon as the pitch is thrown. (I'm thrown out at second?)

+ doing an app with "wife" (not waking life wife): we're in a small office, wife's upset because the app is not going so well, I think it was probably a bad idea to go into the app business together with my wife. I speak in a reassuring manner and try to calm her down.

+ LD #128: childhood home, start in sister's room?, walk to parent's room, I think my dad is sleeping here by himself while my mom is sick, I notice he's moved the TV and other things to block off the deck-side of the room, I walk back in to my sister's room, my mother says that (some person's name) went to the Soviet Union and didn't like it, and her tone of voice suggests it was a stupid thing to do. I ask her what year he went, she answers 1987, and I say "well of course, if he had gone later he probably would have liked it a lot better."

I see spread out on the bed for me is my old GoodWill cheesy disco shiny/rayon fish shirt and a bright red patterned tie. I think I do not want to be wearing this shirt when I hear of my mother's passing away, if I'm at work when I hear the news I'll have to take it off and wonder what my coworkers will think of that.

(Entering the room again?) my mom tells me that she wants me to listen to a recording. I know it's a recording she made at night and probably shows ghost sounds. It begins with a loud sound and this is shocking. Then Then I hear a voice say something like "take this stack of books" and I get full-body goosebumps: I think I've heard this somewhere before and it must be a ghost talking! I get a vague impression of a ghostly transparent stack of books floating at me and I think I may have tried to take a book from the stack.

Then the recording becomes too quiet/unclear, and I ask my mother to turn it up, she doesn't answer, and I sit up on the bed and I keep practically screaming for her to turn it up, that I can't hear it. I notice my mom is not in the room. I start to stand up and suddenly stop and get the idea I may be dreaming. I'm pretty sure I am. I do a slow, methodical nose pinch and I can breath easily.

Now fully lucid I leave behind the whole ghost recording scenario, giving it a final fleeting thought as I leave the room and start to plan what I want to do. As in most dreams I immediately head down the stairs. As I walk down the stairs I think of trying more TOTM, then I suddenly remember my long-term LD goal: narrate the dream ala ~Dreamer~. I'm so happy that I've finally remembered to narrate the dream! Then I forget all about doing it haha. I'm more concerned about stabilization and engaging the dream. I rub my hands and look down to see them rubbing but there's not a strong sensation.

I get down almost to the bottom of the stairs where I can see into the living room. It's quite dark, like early morning, about 30% light. I think about using dream control to brighten the dream but don't. I decide to engage the environment and reach out and place my hands on the stair railing, and it comes into a clearer focus and I start to look at it closely and experience the feeling of it and then I have a slow fade to awake. Argh!

Awake for a while. Trying to sleep for about an hour, not making any progress, go online for about an hour. The cat is jumping around my room in a frenzy because it sees birds flying outside the window, so I banish it to the porch and try to get back to sleep. I'm doing a slight bit of SSILD, mostly just relaxing breaths going deeper each breath, and soon I fall asleep again for between one and two more sleep cycles! BTS success, yay yay yay!

later:

A really odd series of situations. They went on for a while but memory is mostly fragmented. Almost all happen in some vague large open room.

+(f) I'm looking at a magazine. It's not NSFW . But some girls come in to the room and giggle at me, thinking it is a NSFW magazine because I'm turning it sideways some of the time. I think they're annoying.

+(f) I wake up in bed(?) in this room and my (wife?), a few friends, and my best friend MR is there. I'm really surprised to see MR, what's he doing here? It's my birthday?

+(f) I'm trying to crawl back to this room, I'm in a house's attic crawlspace. There is construction material piled in places around. I'm holding on to the rafters pulling myself along. I think the room's been blocked but I manage to make my way back.

+(f) bunch more stuff going on in this room, forgot...

The dream recall leading up to the LD were not really anything exciting or long. But the LD more than made up for it despite being a slightly bit unstable: it lasted a good long time (by my standards) with 3-4 different scenes, girly stuff, accomplished TOTM, some flying and some breaking through walls, some lightsaber action.

+ at a beer garden choosing (4 choices) what I'll have for the next round consulting with the woman sitting across from me. I'm thinking of a really pale beer next round, something with almost no taste. (Don't remember the names but some had some), (decided on a house special?)

+ I'm at the far end of a long snaking narrow camping tent, a friend is outside. I see and say that there is no zipper/way out on this side, so since the tent is so narrow I don't have room to turn around, so I start crawling out backwards. I notice some dirty spots on the floor of the tent and wonder if they're wet spots from dirty boots. I finally make my way out of the front where my friend is waiting for me (the boot guy below?)

+ There's a man who says he must cover his metal-tipped boots when he's outside or else the reflection will blind people. He gestures to his boot tips and I see a chunk of metal near the tip. Someone discusses how "hard" your boots you want, if you get them too hard they'll make a lot of noise on wooden floors.

+ walking through some sightseeing place with people, fairly dark indoor environment, turning corners (going up sloping pathways?) need flashlight, I have one or two in my hand, then there are hundreds strewn all over the floor to choose from.

+ Walking down the main stairway in my childhood home, my dad is talking about the nurses at the hospital, how they used to have a thing around there neck that expanded, it was called a (???), I see one and how it expands, but they wear something different now. My dad has to go to the hospital, I'm now in the living room where my mother has set a breakfast table (for me and my dad?), I sit down and eat, there is a bacon and egg sandwich and more bacon and some other things. It all looks really good and I start with the bacon. (I pick a piece of bacon out of the sandwich?) my mother says not to pick the bacon out of the sandwich but I say "hey it's bacon, it's OK" but I fully intend to eat the sandwich properly.

At some point I wake up, pee, recall dreams, and head back to sleep, the exact place I re-enter is not clear.

I see the breakfast table again and it's messy (piled with cereal boxes?), it's still in the living room because my dad's going to the hospital so we need a segregated breakfast table (WTF?). My dad is now concerned about being late even though he got up really early in the morning. I walk to the kitchen through the dining room and I hear my dad talking and coming towards the kitchen from the back porch.

I don't want my dad to find me in the kitchen because (then I'll wake up?)

I fly out the living room window and immediately I realize I'm dreaming. It is a solid realization, I'm very happy I got lucid. The scenery is daylight, bright and clear. I'm flying low over a Eucalyptus tree coming up ahead, and as I pass over it I lower my right hand and let my fingers run through the leaves to establish tactile senses. I feel very little, maybe 25% or even less, I'm somewhat surprised, touch is usually not less than 50% and usually full. I grab a bunch of the leaves and form a fist with my right hand, squeezing them, and I start to feel them a bit better.

I then experience a slow, interesting transition (sort of a "pan"-effect) back into my childhood home's living room. I think of TOTM and am happy at having decent waking like memory. But then I just can't remember the basic tasks, for about 30 seconds I'm pacing around the living room saying "Right, let's do TOTM, the task is....the task is....it's...uh.." and just can't come up with either of the basic tasks. I recall at last the advanced II task of having a conversation with an object that doesn't make sound.

I walk into the dining room, crouch down in front of the marble-topped cabinet/drawers, and say "Hi! What's your name!?" I imagine face forming and it responding to me, but instead a black rectangle whooshes in from somewhere, replacing the cabinet, then vanishes, leaving them both gone.

Not upset by this, I just stand up and move to the living room where I see a coat rack, I immediately approach and say, "Hi! What's your name?!" (I think a face forms?) and it says "I'm Hank, and my son is Frank!" (I think the rack is covered with a string of lights, and wonder what they look like turned on?).

I go out (the front door?) and see a sloping hillside in daylight of exposed dirt and some plants (ivy?). I wonder if I'm still dreaming, if I am then I could fly, I take off flying and am happy that I'm still dreaming. I turn to face downhill, and see through a window of the house into the living room where Hank is still standing, he looks sort of humanoid at this point with a very large head, like a small Ent or a large mushroom man. I think/say "turn on your lights!" but Hank looks at me, shaking his head "no," and holds up his arms containing the string of (Christmas tree?) lights. I think he must be done working for the day and has already taken off his lights, I do not want to force the issue so I forget him and fly forwards.

Ahead of me (still flying) is some building, down below me a few floors down I see some girls standing at an ice cream stand. I can see down their shirts and there's some nice cleavage showing there. I land and watch them as I approach, there are 3 girls, young & pretty, one of them has dark sort of bushy eyebrows.

Spoiler for sexual activity:

This part gets vague but I'm pretty sure I squeezed one of the girls boobs and got some quick BJ action before the dream transitioned.

Now I'm in a stairwell and I think the authorities are coming because of my taking liberties with the girls. (See/hear some security guys?) I'm running up the stairs and decide to break through the wall, I run my finger in a circle on the wall and push out a section and jump through.

I'm in some non-descript alley/corridor between very tall buildings, and I decide as I approach a corner that I need a weapon, so I hold up my left hand and imagine there's a lightsaber handle there. I look at my hand and it's sort of fuzzy and transparent but I see it. I hit the "on" button and imagine/say that the blade will be green. I see sort of a 50% transparent green blade.

I walk by a guy DC and swing the blade through his body 2 or 3 times, (he falls down?). Then I see a kid walking with an assembled clarinet, and step up to him and slice the clarinet into 3 or 4 pieces, haha.

Up ahead on a higher floor (floating?) is a group of uniformed security. I prepare myself for a big jump to go up there and fight, I'm setting my feet just right and fidgeting then I notice a hot girl is floating down towards me, I imagine she wants sex, so I direct her to a bench and she starts taking off her clothes, then I wake up...
