Since two weeks, I have been experiencing a severe dry spell - no recall, WILD fails.
Nothing noteworthy to write here, although I've been filling my paper DJ with fragments.
This morning I finally manage to break the dry spell with one ND and two LDs

26-Nov-2016 - 1ND + Long WILD Minecraft, Office, Gold pot, Tower + DILD Bike, Summon and repel Demon

ND - X-rated, not going to post anything

WILD - Minecraft, Office, Gold pot, Ask help to take the tower
5:30AM, ~1hr

It takes me a long time (est. 15-20 mins) and a lot of visualization to finally manage entering a proper LD

I wander in Minecraft-looking environments. I also ride a horse and touch its mane. I walk through offices, meet and talk with people, both known and unknown, experience many scenery changes.
At one time, while outside, I decide flying upwards, and it works very well, I feel light, and shiver because of the pleasant flying sensation.

After that, I decide to try some dv tasks. First one that comes to my mind is the Leprechaun / gold pot TotY.
I had already attempted it yesterday on a short WILD - saw a rainbow jumping from cloud to cloud. Work alarm broke the LD.

I see the rainbow ending behind a small grassy hill, walk upwards, and see its end on the ground, in a plain before some trees (again, kinda Minecraft-looking)

I reach it, no-one is around. I summon a shovel and start digging. After I remove some grass, I see parts of a black metal pot with gold coins inside. I remove some more dirt and the Leprechaun appears from the trees. It's very small, perhaps <50cms, dressed in green, with a green pointy hat, and a white pointy beard.

When he sees what I'm doing, he jumps, bites my arm, and stays there, hanging by its jaw. Oh well...
I punch it hard with the other hand, making it fly few meters away.
Then, to avoid its next attack, I turn around with my hand open, and summong a fire ring around me and the pot.
I keep spinning slowly, rising the flames around me higher and higher, until they are as high as me. The flames are wonderfully convincing.

I finish the digging, and reach for the pot's handle.
When I try to pick it up, it's very heavy and I do not manage to raise it. I try again, pulling it with more strength and I manage to pick it up.

Then, holding the pot full of gold with both hands, I fly up from the ring of fire. I glimpse down to see the Leprechaun looking angry at me, but impotent.

I reach the top floor of my tower, climb down the ladder and reach the main floor. I drop the pot on the floor. Mission accomplished !

<JUMP>

At the office once again, but now I am more in control, in a stable dreamworld.
I am talking with M, a colleague. My awareness sharply rises, and I ask her to accompany me in some dream adventures, she accepts.
I use my favorite method for exiting the office, phasing through the glass and then walking on air.

Mindful about tasks again, I ask M if she wants to help with some J1kM missions, she's ok with that.
I tell her I heard there is a dangerous tower nearby: a madman is shooting arrows at anyone daring to get close, let's go and take a look from a safe viewpoint.

From behind some trees, we see the tower: it's made out of grey stone bricks, a bearded man at its top. Somehow he sees us, and shoots some arrows in our direction. A couple of them pass really close to me, I can hear the zip of air !

I am wondering how to solve the situation, but unfortunately my recall fades at this point.

<JUMP>

After a bit, I wake up, it's 6:30AM

ND -> DILD - Bike, Summon and repel Demon
~7:00AM, ~20min

ND: I am riding a bike, my shoelace is getting tangled in the pedal. I recognize I am dreaming without the need for a RC
DILD: I keep slowly riding the bike, it's a narrow road, with hedges and low houses on both sides.
I look at the handle, my feet, knees, everything it's very vivid.
Both my children appear to my left side, walking and running alongside my bike.
I turn right, then right again.

Riding is nice, but I think about some tasks - the dv Demon Lord fight
I reach a small alcove surrounded by high hedges / bushes.
I open a small iron gate to one side, and ask my kids to stay there, since I am going to do something dangerous.
They want to see what happens, I ask them to look from behind the fenced part on top of the gate, but they are too eager to stay with me, so I send them home.

I stand in the middle of the square, because of the high vegetation, it's kinda dark here.
Using a long wooden stick, I trace a circle on the ground. Then I start drawing an inscribed star, to build a pentacle.
I genuinely feel I am doing something dangerous here.
While drawing the star's lines, I look up and see an orange demon face above me, I am scared, but a closer look reveals it's a metal water pipe joint.

I finish drawing the line, the pentacle is not visible on the ground, but I know something is going to happen.
I unsheathe my sword, sheathe again, take the bow and drop it again, realizing it's too cramped for those weapons.
I start summoning fire in both my hands, see hands' tips become orange, and feel the heat and pressure build up.
Smooke and orange light appear inside the pentacle. I feel very willing and eager to fight.
I fold my arms backward, with my hands still fiery.

The demon appears inside the pentacle. It's taller than me, dark brown, with curved horns.
It has fire in its hands as well, suggesting it's using an attack similar to mine. We clash our fire hands together. It's a violent strike for both of us. I smash my open hand in the middle of its chest, it staggers back. It hits me back, I fall to the ground.
Then it grabs me by my shoulder, and I say "Hey it's hot !". I hit it again with fire.

Soon after, it becomes a normal man, a woman joins in. I look at his face, he's a middle-aged, grey hair man wearing a light gray suit. He starts discussing about women / seduction. Dream fades quickly after that.

I wake up at 7:45 AM

17-Nov-2016 - ND - Office / restrooms + WILD - Alchemy

ND - Office /restrooms
6:35AM
I am in my office, which however looks different (!!!) I am looking for restrooms, but find another office instead (!) Then, as soon as I manage to find them (they look different - !!!), I brush my teeth.

Wake up 6:35 AM
Despite I only have ~20mins to 7AM work alarm, I attempt a WILD anyway, and it's successful

LD - Alchemy
WILD, 6:40AM, ~15min
I hear a noise IWL (I think), like pushing a noisy door.
I find myself at the main entrance of the current hotel.
I take just couple of steps out, everything looks stable, lifelike and ultimately boring.
I look to my left and in front of me again.

There is a hill now in front of me, with a brick and glass building on top of it. I walk towards it.
The near side of the building has no entrance, I walk close to the left wall, looking at the nice architecture, at the walkway, and at some small hedges. Then I turn right to get to the back side of the building, and find the entrance.
It's bright and totally empty inside. It's shaped like a big apartment.
I find a stairway going down, with some clothes - a jacket, a shirt, ... - hanging like a tent.
I move those clothes to the side and descend.
I get to a similarly shaped environment, just a bit darker and almost same as empty.
However, I remember the Alchemy task, and behind a corner I find an L-shaped steel table with a multitude of objects on its top.

I find a mortar, and I choose some ingredients from the table. In order, I put in it some rosemary, a boiled egg, some sliced carrots. Then I see a small glass jar full of flies; I drop all of them inside the mortar, and use the pestle to mush that.
Then I pour the mortar into a small pot which is on the gas.
I look at the flow of smoke inside some spiraling tubes, ending in a condensation column (?) which ends in two faucet-less tubes.
The first tube is pointing outwards, and it shoots out a white-ish fluid, which I manage to partially collect inside a glass cup.
I put a vial below the second tube, which is vertical, and collect there a transparent liquid.

I "know" the white one is the potion, while the small transparent one is the antidote.
I am disgusted at thinking to drink the white stuff, because of the flies, and I am about to give up.
However, I reinforce my will and drink it.

I feel my shoulders arching up, like hitting the ceiling, and again and again.
I see myself from outside (DO), with my upper body emerging from the roof of the brick building.
Then I see from my perspective again. I use my index and middle fingers to look for and pick up the small vial.
I take it to my mouth and drink it down.
No special sensation, but I am my normal size again, outside the building.

I return control to my body, then wake up 6:55 AM

14-Nov-2016 - ND: Wife's old phone + My cousin A

I am with my cousin A, we're outside, running barefoot on a sort of "race". When we have to go upon a stairway, I leave the mid high steps (like an arena) and instead choose the left stairs.
I am looking at a phone, it's smaller than my personal, it's not the company, I rationalize I am using my wife's previous phone (!! - it's broken)

__________________________


16-Nov-2016 - ND: Tabletop game, hug my babies + WILD Highway skate, Forest, Underground Cathedral, climb building, the sick one

ND - Tabletop game, hug my babies
I am outside, I am playing a tabletop game (?) with two more people, a board and some parts are placed on top of a blanket on the ground. I see my kids approaching I hug them, play with them for some time.
When I turn back to the tabletop game, people have moved to playing cards while waiting for me.

WBTB 3:30AM, ~1hr + MILD -> No visible effect, just some ND which I forgot anyway

LD - Highway skate, Forest, Underground Cathedral, climb building, the sick one
WILD, 6:30AM, ~1hr
I start by taking a walk with C, a friend, nothing special happens, foggy part.
I am skating on a jammed highway. I zip through cars and trucks (remember very well a big, white truck)
I stop on the side, there is a forest, I walk though it. I touch trees and rub hands to stabilize dream, which kinda works.

After some more walking, I encounter a low fence, ~2m long, surrounding a light grey, spikey structure.
I am able to move the fence aside, but see no immediate way to interact with the structure.
Then, I just grab it from the bottom on one side and flip it open, like a trapdoor, revealing a dark stairway.
Needless to say, I descend it. I summon flames on my left hand to light the environment, but it mostly remains dark.
At the bottom of the stairway, I find myself in a enormous space, with many pillars reaching upwards.
I shoot some fireballs to some close pillars, to have a light area around.
It's dark and I cannot see the top of those pillars. I shoot a fireball amoing the pillars, and see it become smaller and smaller until it disappears. This place it's so big it seems having no top at all...
My body quickly shivers at this grandiosity.
Unfortunately the dream quickly loses stability. I see a glimpse of an altar with candles on top - I sense it was going to be the Demons Lord's house - but dream fades and focus returns to my body.

I still think I can keep myself inside an LD. I surrender myself to whatever will appear next.

I am outside of an entrance to a building. I see a small lawn with a white carton among the grass. As soon as I focus on it, I lose it.
<JUMP>
I am in front of a wooden entrance to what seems a Japanese temple ?
<JUMP>
I am in a small road, there is a group of 5-6 people chatting, one just joins them. I walk around them, the road looks Eastern too, only people, no vehicles.
<JUMP>
I am in the back seat of a futuristic car, someone's driving. Many tall / glass building around us.
On the road, I notice the back of a tall and very slender girl with fuxia sport clothes and a ponytail, walking away from us.
The car stops close to an alley. There is some trash. I use my hands and feet to climb the brick building next to me. I reach a "terrace". I jump out to reach a small metal chimney, which for some reason looks extremely vivid.
Then I jump back to the wall, climbing it Spider-man style again to the top.
<JUMP>
There is a sick man laying down in front of me. He's wearing some heavy / mountain clothes. I look at his head, it's resting on one side, I don't recognize his face. I remove some of his clothes, looking for wounds, but I find none. I pass my hand close to his face, bringing him a white light, which should most likely heal him.

Wake up at 7:20AM (alarm is 7:30)

11-Nov-2016 - ND: At Auntie's, again

I am at auntie's stairway again (!!!), I recognize this is extremely strange.
I meet D at first floor, ask him what he's doing there, he answers he just moved there. Oh.
Then I start RCing, pinch nose, breathe through it, look at totem, it looks discolored, but I do not care, and convince myself this is true.
I study the environment very well, some steps are made out of wood (!!) I take note and say to myself, so next time I am here I recognize if I am dreaming.

13-Nov-2016 - 4 ND Fragments - WILD - Forest giant, Candyland, Swordsman in downtown Chicago, Gnomes

ND#1 10PM - Smthg related to superpowers

ND#2 11PM - Have to visit a customer, but a raised bridge makes it difficult to get there

ND#3 1:40AM - Another fragment related to a customer visit

ND#4 5 AM - Office, different than usual (!!!), MA, M, A, S are there. We are eating something sweet together. S asks for help to move products when they arrive, I had inserted a transfer order before (!)

WILD - 6AM ~1 hour+

At first I find difficult to enter LD through visualization.
I try a trick. I sit in the back of a convertible car, with someone else driving on an highway, and enjoy the scenery. It is beautiful, mountains and forests around us, looks like Canada. This greatly helps in stabilizing dream.

We stop at a gas/service station, we enter the bar and I ask people around if everything is in order.
They answer, mostly, but in a nearby valley behind those mountains, all farmers had to leave their places because they kept finding their crops destroyed. Also, eradicated trees.

We drive the car to the nearby valley, but find nothing special.
I fly upwards and find a second, more secluded valley behind that one.
I land and look at what they were talking about: round-shaped areas of smashed corn

I hear a noise, like a rumble, couple of times. Then I feel something enormous passing close to me. Then I see just a glimpse of a gigantic leg/feet covered in dark tree bark touching the ground few meters away from me. It must be the Forest giant (dv task)
I shout it to stop, and it turns around to look at me. It's as high as a skyscraper, its face look like a LotR Ent.
Also its body is covered in the same dark tree bark. Really impressive !

I fly up, looking into its face from same height. I can see the landscape, valleys, trees and mountains, below me.
Then I start talking to it, saying that he's damaging the people living in the valley. It doesn't care, he was there already 5,000 years ago. I answer that also people have the right to stay there, so we have a problem.
I feel the entity as largely good, so I want to avoid fighting it, if possible.
I show the Ent a flame in my left hand, and I say I can control fire, so I can be dangerious to it and its trees.
I even come to engulf my fully body in flames, as an open threat.
My body reacts, and I feel a "sizzling" all over it.
I also remember it that this is my dream, so it cannot really hurt me.

Meanwhile I keep thinking how we could find a solution without fighting. The best idea that comes to my mind is making the valley disappear, by putting some additional mountains around it. The Giant agrees. I wave to it, say hello and fly away. <JUMP>

I land in a small flat area with few trees around, not really interesting. I think about the origami glide task (J1kM), take a giant square paper sheet, and fold the simplest airplane, but quite large.
Problem: how can I glide with it, if I need to launch it from the gound ? I think about a large "launching machine", with a wood base and a rubber band; and it appears to my side. I put the paper plane above it, then sit on it. Nothing happens. After a while, I fall into the mid crease, the plane collapses.
Let's give up and try something else.

I take two more big sheets, a gigantic orange one and a large brown one. From the first I fold a sphere with open bottom, through curved creases; from the second one I fold a sort of cup that can fit my size, by using angular creases stating from a circular base, and folding the excess paper around.
Next step I imagine some cord connecting the two parts and a small flame in the middle, so I have a hot-air balloon, then I start slowly moving upwards.

The slow, passive flight makes my lucidity level decrease. Can't recall how, but I find myself on the ground.
I wish to fight The Swordsman (dv DHL task), but nothing happens.
<JUMP>
I find myself in downtown Chicago, at the beginning of the MagMile. It's very crowded, people, cars, it's very lifelike (which makes sense, I've been there just yesterday)
At once, people start running and screaming, and a heavily armored samurai appeaars. I draw my sword just in time to parry a heavy blow which drop me to my knees. I didn't even have the time to draw my bow. I force-push him far away on the street, then make a circular movement around me to push everyone else farther away and have a clean arena. He lunges forward and hit me hard again, then does a sting blow on the right side of my face. Ouch, this is going to be too hard. I parry more blow, score some blow myself, but the fight seems stalling.

All of a sudden, I see him carved in stone, the only recognizable figure in a fairly wide wall carving, standing in the middle of the street. I don't know what happened, I didn't win the fight, but I got taken out of danger. I look around for someone responsible for saving me, but I am alone.

I wish myself inside my personal tower. Everything is in order, I put two small statues on the right side of the front wall, representing the Ent and the Swordsman, plus a katana on the left wall.

I look at the portal, to find where I could go next, and the portal itself shows the answer: Candyland !
I look at it before entering, it's very colored, the ground has a checkered pattern, giant transparent red circular lollipops on a wooden stick replace trees. Interesting !
I enter the portal and explore this land a bit. Again, I am amazed by the colors around me. I see a transparent colored gummy dog walk beside me. More lollipops scattered around.
A small, normal bird lands on the ground, looks out of place.

There is a house with a patio, I enter down it. Patio's column are pink and white, spiraling. The roof looks inviting, it has a chocolate top and a biscuit bottom. I take a big bite of it, unfortunately no taste, but the missing chunk looks funny. The house itself also has chocolate doors.

I move past the house, thinking what could I do next, when the Defense tower task pops up.
Well, I'll build one here with the materials handy.
I return to the lollipop-trees garden, and see some big stuffed liquerice. I remove the stuffing and I am left with a black tube. I merge few of those and make a liquerice cannon. I punch one bottom end to make the round border. Neat !
I start piling up some construction material: giant biscuits, huge chocolate bars, colossal marshmallows and the like, and put those around me. I also model a chocolate door and border, then wish biscuits appear before my feet to build a spiral stairway up. The tower has completed on its own. I put four cannons at its top, pointing out.
I notice how tight the space is now, but I guess it will do anyhow.
I jump down, to look at the overall result from below; it looks beautiful, menacing and yummy at the same time !

Then I fly up and away. Fly sensation is not very strong, so as soon as I see a normal landscape below me, with trees instead of lollipops, I land.
Time for the Gnome TotY, I guess. I walk a bit until I find a cartoonish-looking tree, with brilliant colors, striped trunk, very green leaves. It should do.
I start "collapsing" in the ground in front of it. Then I imagine a pointy drilling machine in front of me, moving the dirt behind, and I keep proceeding.
It's totally dark in front of me; a couple of times I turn around to see the light at my back getting smaller and dimmer. Then, right when I was thinking I would not find anything, a light appears before me, the "vehicle" stops.

I am in a round cave. Below me, small mushrooms, packed together, painted in the three primary colors, RYB, all having white spots.
It's a small town, and suddenly, the room before me is filled by very small gnomes, like three fingers high.
I say something like "Hi", then imagine the dialog is going to be hard like this.
I turn to my back, wish myself smaller, but still a bit higher than them, and when I turn around it's like that. I'm as high as their houses, twice of them. Looks fine.

I start talking to the gnome in front, he's wearing a red smurf-like hat, has a short white beard only below his jaw, pointing outwards. He's very grumpy, and answers my questions with short, blunt answers.
- Hi I am X, what are you doing here ?
- We drill !
- I imagine you are the boss here ?
- Yes !
- Oh, and you ever stop drilling ?
- Only when we break our balls (he used an italian bad word here LOL)
- Uhu. And why do you drill ?
- To find gems. And gold.
- Oh. Got it.

I look at the group, and see a white, different looking hat, seems like a chef one. I ask him to come closer, and he's exactly the gnome of the Loacker wafers. That makes me laugh in the dream, and I hear my real body chuckle as well.
- You're the chef, right ?
He answers more politely, - Yes
When I ask him to try something, of course he gives me a chocolate wafer, which I eat (no taste, umfg) I turn back to the red hat gnome.
- So, can I see your collection of gems and gold, please ? At first he refuses, so I try again.
- Oh, come on, I don't want to steal you anything, I am just curious to see it.
Then he shows me an opening on the right side of the cave, inside a mass of shiny, multi-colored rocks, red, yellow, green, blue, white, and behind those, gold jewels and ingots.
- Thank you for that, it's amazing. Thank you all, I go !
I wish myself going upward, half phasing / half drilling through the dirt, until i get at ground level.

Hmmm what next ? Yes, the pillar from J1kM !
I am close to the gnomes' tree, and there is my hole on the ground.

I move a bit to find a black pillar of solid rock, looking like obsidian, like two meters high.
When I move to the opposite side, I see a carving of a face with a ball in its mouth, eyes open.
It starts speaking, says just two words (can't recall what), the ball drops in its mouth, it stops talking and closes eyes.
I ask several times to keep talking, but it seems the ball has closed its stone trachea.
I explore the pillar with my hands and eyes, and find nothing strange. No opening, no carving other than the head.
Like with the underground drilling, I am about to give up and do something else.
However, I look better the back of its head, and there is a rectangle, which I am able to open. There is a paper, with a series of switches drawn, some are positioned on the right, some on the left.
I think I haven't seen any similar switch on the pillar.

All of a sudden, the pillar animates and opens. A black metal structure emerges, parts of the pillar become plates on it, for arms and legs, the head stays at its place. It looks like a big, menacing robot. Ouch !
My power do not seem fit to fight this stuff, my first reaction is shooting some spider-webs and trapping it.
Then I pull the webs more and more tight, until it folds back in its original pillar-like shape. I find a water pond, and drop it at its bottom, with the hope no-one will find it again.

Back to DHL tasks, I try calling for an enemy, but nothing happens.

Do something else here, could have been task-related, I forgot.

Next thing I remember is the J1kM "Plant seed" task. I imagine a seed in my hand, and I promptly find it.
I put it in the dirt and cover it. The dirt is soft and kinda cool. I guess I'll have to water it to do something, so I imagine a watering can. I pick it and water the spot.
A green sprout appears and keeps growing. A single leaf at first, then some more.
When it starts looking more like a small bush, the color of its leaves changes, they become black and metallic.
It starts to look more and more menacing.
Before learning what it can become, I drop my hand below it, in the dirt, look for the small seed, and as soon as I find it, I detach it, pulling it down.
Leaves and branches stat folding themselves down again, until the plant looks like a pile of rubbish on the ground.


I feel kinda tired, I slowly return control to my body, turn to my left side and sleep

I dream some more - my children, some girl, a couple of homeless guys, but I have poor recall for most of those fragments.

10-Nov-2016 - ND - Traveling -> DILD Gardens V.B. + FA

Awake at 5:00 - Sure I dreamt smth, but cannot recall, fall back asleep - this must have helped

ND - Traveling
I am in a line to board a plane. They call some passengers by name: me, S, and more. I approach the info desk.
They ask me a question about samples I am carrying, then after I answer, they scribble something on my passport with a marking pen (!!)
When I turn back to the line, it has sensibly shortened.
After check, I find myself going up in a stairway.
I look better, and it's my auntie's (!!) This is a fairly common dreamsign of mine recently, and I consider I may be dreaming.
I raise both my hands up, looking at them; they look normal, finger count is correct.
However, when I turn them to look at palm/back, the left thumb disappears ! I am dreaming !!

DILD
As often happens, I am happy ! I think what I could do. First I jump on the round, steeply descending handrail and walk on it, knowing it would be impossible IWL. Then I launch myself against the outer wall, wishing to phase through it, which of course is what happens.
I am now on the road, in an area I know well - curiously I have been here also on Nov 7th LD.

I walk a bit, then find myself at the Gardens, V.B., I enter
There is a blonde woman approaching, I stop her and kiss her because I am so happy.
I want to focus on tasks, I recall one. I will try to conjure an object behind me.
A young boy is around, I look at him, my sight kinda blurs, then it becomes normal again.
It seems nothing happened, but when I move backward, a small blue ball that was not there has appeared. I did it !
I pick it up with both my hands and look at it. I try to think at more tasks, but nothing comes to my mind.
Unfortunately this focus makes me lose lucidity.

FA
I am at my home (!), waking up in the kids room (!), FM I returned at home in the middle of the night and everyone was sleeping. I meet all my family, kiss and hug all of them. Then I sit on the sofa with my daughter.
I wake up

08-Nov-2016 - 2 ND: 1) Rejected 2) Airport troubles

ND #1 - Rejected
I am in N's office, which has a different shape (!!), having a work conversation with him; he tells me he can not/not want to take me in his team. I am a bit upset by this (!), reply him something, exit the office.
I discuss this with L, while we visit a sort of "pueblo" together (!). Later I also discuss this with V.

I am talking with a girl I don't know, she tells me she's got "Ceasarian section". I see a picture of her in bed.
The girl becomes S (!!!)

ND #2 - Airport trouble
I am in an airport. I am helping a group of people to design/build a sort of multi-level circular arena (!!)
The outer ring is bronze, then silver, gold and platinum.
A little boy runs away from his parents in the crowded airport, someone yells to stop him
There is a suspect box somewhere (!!) I see a picture of it (!), I am scared it could be a bomb. Then I see a flash of light.

07-Nov-2016 - Amazing night: ND Little bear at S.St./Moda' videoclip + ND C disturbs VP ->DILD / OBE Meet myself as a child + WILD The bear and the unicorn

ND - Little bear at S.St., Moda' videoclip
1:30 AM

I'm with dad and another person in S.St., where I lived when I was young (!!) This guy is telling us that a little brown bear lives among those small trees (!!!) After some walking, we get to a low wall; on the other side, well below us, there is an area with some bare trees, and I see the brown bear's little round ear (!!!); it's in a pack of dogs. I slide down, dad tries to help me, he manages to slow down my fall, I get to the bottom of the pit, then I quickly run up. This happens two times (!!)
<JUMP>
I am watching a Moda' videoclip, although the song is from some other singer, on a small monitor (plane?), I ask a girl some assistance.
In the video, the singer is ironing a leather jacket and when he wears it, the iron is stucks in the middle of his back. I laugh incontrollably at this funny scene (!!)

ND - C disturbs VP
est.3:40 AM

I am at company canteen, at a table with VP, C and SL. While talking, C disturbs VP in a weird way, and I am upset with him, more then VP herself. After he does that a couple of times, without any reaction fron her side, I realize I am dreaming !
Memory slightly fails here - Most likely just after the realization, I have OBE

OBE/LD - Meet myself as a child
Unsettling details excluded
4AM
My body is shaking lightly, I know I can exit. While rising up, I say "I am exiting, I am exiting !" My voice changes significantly.
I am in my bedroom at S.St, where I was living as a kid. I move to another room, then come back to mine. I want to talk to child myself. I see a child in the bed from which I just risen, I ask him who he is, he answers R (my son), he's really him, looking like age 4.

I turn around and try again, there is another person in the bed, I ask him his name, he answers X - my real name; I answer "Me too", then ask about his family name, he answers "Y" (my real family name), then he adds "Like you", I chuckle and say "Yes, like me"
He's playing. I ask him if he's happy and if he likes what he's doing in his life right now.

In the meantime an adult girl is with him (my wife ? my sister?) He answers, "Yes, but I'd like a party with A. bread !" - it does not make much sense. The girl adds the party could also be based on bread with Nutella.


WILD - The bear and the unicorn
6AM WILD
I start from this morning little bear ND. This time I go down, and ride it. It's small, with soft brown hair. When I ask its name, answer is "Polar". I ride it through the naked trees I saw this morning, then in a city. I go into a bar, when I exit there are two indian temples in front of me, with rows of statues depicting sensual figures.

We reach a small lake, more of a pond. I try to conjure some object behind me, but fail.
Then I try manipulating the pond's water: first I make it rise, a lot of small vertical flows of separate water drops moving upwards.
Then they "crystallize" in stone-like greek columns in regular rows. I wish them to break up, it happens, the water rains down back in the pond.

Then I rotate my hands in the air, the water moves accordingly, building a fairly good-size water tornado over the lake.
Wishing to see if that is effecting something else, I see a kind of "mirror" tornado on the ground, in the distance.
I let the tornado water return to the pond.
I am having fun, so I try something else. Moving my hand up and down, I create small waves in the lake.

I decide attempting one of the TotY, the Unicorn. I want to summon one, but I only get a normal horse instead. Let's not give up. I wish a horn on its brow, and I get one, although it's fairly unimpressive. I must make a connection with another older LD, involving an unicorn with a paper horn.
I see myself in a court hall, with a jury looking at my unicorn. Its horn is even falling apart, showing cardboard below.
I say something to the animal, asking help, and a wonderful ivory horn appears ! The unicorn is white, shining of a bright light !
It even gows bigger, and I stop it, otherwise I could not ride it.

I ride it, then its name: -"Samantha". Oh, so yu are a girl. I drop, look below and confirm this is the case.
I ask what of the two sub-tasks it prefers, answers it's peaceful so the portal. I guessed it =)
I take my flaming sword from J1kM, make an oval hole in the air and look into it. Everything is dark red, unpleasant, but we step in, bear included.
The scenery looks hellish, brown / dark red rocks, tree stumps, my vision kinda fading. I wish ourselves out.

I am in the woods again and try another portal. I imagine a zipper midair, and open it following a rectangular pattern. I open it like a door and look inside.
Oooh, it's a fairy tale world ! Much better ! We step in to find a place with rainbow-colored trees, normally colored grass and sky.
We explore it a bit. To my right I see a sort of modern pipe with water drops flowing. I look closer, and when I move my gaze, I find myself in a public restroom, both walls covered in urinals. Ahem. I walk a bit and find an exit door on the left.
After some more exploration, we find a waterfall going into a pond. It's normally colored, kinda boring, I look away and back at it, to find it rainbow colored now. Better !

Dream jumps, I am at P, a mall close to my house, under the central dome. Many people there, and Samantha gently moves some of them out of the way, using its head / horn. We stop there, and I think it could be interesting to let my children meet the two animals, so I wish them there and they appear.

Dream is already kinda fading.
I introduce my kids to Polar and Samantha; after that, they just stay there without doing much. I sit both my kids on top of the unicorn and it makes them happy.
Dream fades, I return control to my body, then slowly transition to wakefulness.

It's almost 7AM, work alarm sounds after one minute !

06-Nov-2016 - 2 ND + 2 LD - Various, not much interesting stuff

ND#1 - I need a password to animate some small robots
ND#2 - A girl in a bathtub is texting her female friend some light insults through her smartphone (inspired by an installation seen yesterday at AIoC)

LD#1 - Fly out of Phyllis tower (WILD)

I am at SkyDeck, the glass below me opens, and I fall down. I try picturing this like it is not a dream, try feeling what would be like happening for real. While falling I wonder if this could be a dream and just start flying far away from the tower, above Chicago.

LD#2 - The crawling girl (WILD)

I am at the first room I visited at AIoC. The glass door opens and I see a face close to the floor, it's a mildly ugly girl with short black hair. She crawls in using her thing arms. I also see her body is snake-like, twisted and contorted. I cannot give a follow-up to this dream.

05-Nov-2016 - A forgotten ND + WILD - Phoenix

6:30AM WILD, ~40min
I start at a customer meeting room I was yesterday, explaining our products, at once I stop and let a train of naked girls enter the room. It's nice seeing all engineers look at them. I am close to making group love, but thinking better about it, I don't really feel like sharing all that... So I make myself selectively much bigger, and focus on the girls for some time. <SNIP>

Time to focus on dv TotY Phoenix task now. I need few attempts to conjure a stable and suitable scenario; one is a cheese fondue, then a small fire close to a bench. The good one is a round bonfire with black stones all around, which I feed with wood sticks / branches.
As soon as fire and scenario are stable enough, I drop some stuff in it.

A cat eye first, then a bird beak, then a chicken leg. It's a bit disgusting, I don't know why I picked this stuff, but I feel it's kinda necessary. The fire consumes all those items.
I wait for the fire to diminish until I can see is embers and ashes contained within the stones.

Then I do something with my hands above it - can't recall what - say some stuff and look at the circle.

A fiery beak appears in the middle of the circle, pointing up and rising upwards, until it becomes a full head.
Then from two opposite edges, two flames rise up diagonally, big and fierce.
I feel my body shiver as this happens.
Then the body rises up, the legs, and a very long tail, that keeps coming out of it and twisting on itself, until all the phoenix is visible in front of me, made up entirely of orange flames.

I shiver strongly at its sight.

I would like to focus on some more tasks, but the focus on my body has made my sleep light. I get up, it's 7:30

04-Nov-2016 - 1 ND - Travel with colleagues on the windy shuttle bus + WILD - The dragon and the turtle

ND - Travel with colleagues on the windy shuttle bus
I am traveling with some colleagues on a shuttle bus, I am sitting at the last row. There is a small table in the middle and on top a sort of notepad with plastic-wrapped pages. On the opposite side there is J, a M colleague. It's windy outside, and wind partially enters the bus, lifting the pages. I pick up the notepad and store it somewhere.
We are talking about how gliders fare with this strong wind, and I make a gesture with my hands imitating the path of a glider hit by a sudden burst of wind, quickly raising my hand up on a vertical path.

The bus takes a uphill left turn, then a round right one. On the outer side, we notice two people climbed on a high metallic ladder, working on an electric line wire; one more worker adjusts the ladder with the people on it (!!) - all of them share the same black outfit.
We comment on how dangerous that move was.

The bus reaches a parking beyond a gate, I see DA, a F colleague, with an amazing six-pack (!!)

LD - The dragon and the turtle
WILD 5:30AM, ~30min
I start on a passage connecting two black skyscrapers at a high level, walking on top of it. I feel myself transforming into a dragon, and I start flying on the landscape. I am looking for a small village to perform dv-TotY.

I find one, between a meandering river and a forest. First I descend and breathe fire on a windmill, which goes up in flames. Then I spit a fireball to a person walking alone nearby. Then I see some small houses with thatch; I breathe fire on two of them, and they go up in flames too.

Then I question what I am doing, I don't like at all the feeling I am getting from this. I feel a strong wave of regret and I want to repair it.

I perceive myself becoming a blue dragon, and start spitting water on the poor people and houses. The flames are extinguished, but all I get are black charred remains. That's not enough.

I change again, and become a white dragon with long fur (akin to Neverending story dragon); I also perceive some kind of yellow-ish star-shaped aura around me - hard to express it. Anyway, I know I can now resurrect people.

However, the village is not in sight anymore.
I fly over the land, looking for it, but only see more trees and strange store-like apparitions. I feel myself as having human form again.

I find a large tree covering my field of view. Its leaves are bright green, small and pointy. I decide behind it there is going to be the village.

It does not happen. I find the ocean instead. It has a dark-blue/gray color, it's not calm but not too rough either.

I see three very small people - tall like 8cm - floating on its surface. It's a man, a young one (girl?boy?) and a woman. They seem unconscious. I pick up the woman in my left hand and look at her in my palm.
She's got long blonde hair, dark trousers and a white shirt.
I gently close my hand around her.

I look down, and see a fairly large, levigated stone. I climb on it with both my bare feet.
The stone animates and become a turtle; its shell dark and shiny like the wet rock it was before; I can clearly see its head and legs; I perceive it like an old and wise entity.
The turtle turn to its back, pointing towards the open sea.

It moves slowly, but I fear the wave would tilt me off its shell, but when the first ones come, I hardly notice their impact on me; I am firmly attached to it, it seems.
After a couple of waves, I open my hand to look at the woman, she's still there, unconscious.

We hit more waves, I see the white crests, the rise and drops of the sea, it's all very vivid.
Then I notice some form in a rising wave; I look better, it's a human face, which I ultimately recognize as my own !
I am seeing the reflection of my face in the waves, in an impossible way, only marginally affected by the wave shape, it's difficult to put in words. I do a sort of grin, to see the result in the reflection, and I can see my teeth look kinda strange.

I now focus my gaze somewhere else on the waves, and recognize more facial features, an eye here, a pointy-teethed mouth there; they are not connected, somewhat creepy, but I am not scared.
I have an ominous feeling here, like i am witnessing something incredible, linked to divine. Again, very hard describing it.

Finally the turtle reaches a landing point. It's a small pier, leading to a gently rising stairway; on both sides, high green hedges with some bouganvillea. I perceive this place like some mythical land inhabited by ancient gods.

The woman is not in my hand anymore. I walk a bit more in this town, which now seem more like a normal place to me.
Unfortunately dream recall fades here.

02-Nov-2016 - 3 ND (to be written) + WILD - 1000 miles #01 - Wild lands - Cave, house, pegasus, ghosts and lot of origami !

6:30 AM WILD (~1hr)

After visualization, I find myself inside a North America office.
I pass through the glass window and walk on air / glide down in the parking lot, where there are many small trees, with leaves yellow, red and orange; it's beautiful.
I get close to a tree, it's less than 2 meters, the trunk is thin, it has few yellow/orange leaves now, and I can see the main branches well - there is four of them, forming a kind of upward cone. While rotating my view around it, I see that more branches appear, up to six. Weird.

I walk a bit, to find a small group of people, three of them, with some items on the ground.
We say few quick workds like "Hello", "Let's go", and quickly move on, leaving the parking lot behind.
The land around us is quite barren, some yellow grass, very sparse trees, with pointy, smooth mountains at all sides, some close to our path, some farther away. The peaks are bright, but they don't really seem covered in snow.

After some walking I decide to speed up our march.
Take a dark green sheet of paper and build a very stupid vehicle, with the back similar to a pick-up track and, below, six legs like an insect. We sit in the back and the thing starts walking.

After a while, we reach an abandoned house, looking like a Victorian mansion, dark grey, with pointy roof, evidently abandoned.
We enter through the door, and the farthest side is missing. It's totally empty, and exploring it yields nothing, so I look for a trapdoor taking to a lower floor, and when I find it, we descend. The group is now made up of me and two more people.

There is a huge undercellar, with a low roof, totally dark.
I take a sheet of origami paper, and wish it brown on one side, orange on the other. I fold it quickly and make a torch, with a brown stick and orange flame.
I swing it in front of me, lighting the space, and see many thin wooden pillars and lot of spiderwebs.
We walk in there for some time, seeing nothing. For some reason this reminds me of a Minecraft environment, and soon after, on the right, I find a brown Minecraft 2-blocks box. I open it and find a bow and arrow, an iron ingot and a white string. Oh well, still better than nothing...

Since we have walked a lot, I don't feel like backtracking. I pass the torch to someone behind me, take another sheet of paper, enlarge it and make a drilling machine. We climb on it and reach the surface. The hose is far behind us, with the vehicle still there, our stuff in the vehicle.
I am not sure how we reach it, perhaps I call it with a gesture.

EDIT: I am not sure this is the exact point in time I do this
I decide to do the task of creating the stone symbol. I enlarge the six-legged pick-up truck and use it to transport three colossal stones in the same spot. It drops them, two on the bottom, a third on top of them. The resulting stone building it's like 6-8 meters tall.

The land is still the same, almost empty, it's darker now and we decide to camp for the night.
I enlarge a sheet, make a couple of folds and build a tent; we get in, everything goes black, I feel my body for some seconds, then the landscape appears again.
There is a small water pond close to our camping spot, and a white winged horse close to it. I notice its wings are very long and pointy. It looks at us suspiciously, then flies away. No hope to reach it.

I take the chance and explore the pond. First I dive into it, then get out and use a red sheet of paper to make a breathing apparatus, with two rounded air bottles, and a long pleated tube and mouthpiece. Neat !
I put it at my back and dive again. The pond is very small, the bottom is sand. It continues like a tunnel below the ground and merges with another similar pond.
I lightly pass my hands on the sand, which spreads a bit, then I try putting them below the sand, and feel a pulsating sensation.

Swimming a bit more, I notice a corner of something popping out of the sand. I cannot pull it up, it's too heavy.
I exit, take a very large sheet and build a tool for lifting it up.
It's awful, and when I try to use it on the submerged object, it tilts on one side and doesn't work.
Hmmm, let's try again. This time I build a big industrial crane, with two triangular supports, a central staff and a hooked arm going down.
It could probably lift an airplane...
I dive, make a hole in the emerging corner, hook it, and we finally pull the box !
This time I don't see us opening it, but just see its content.
It's a very elegant black pen. FFUUUUUU.....
Oh well, in the same box there is also a sort of nut and a small band with metallic core, the kind you use to wrap electric cables

We move on again, using the six-legged pick-up.
After some time, I ask to one of my teammates (I think it was Exotherm) about his age, he answers 24.
We reach a gorge, with another abandoned house close to a pitch-black cave entrance.
When we approach the house, a white ghost attacks us. I use the bow to shoot an arrow to him, but it just passes through it.
I don't know what to do, and the first thing that comes to mind is using a sheet of paper to build an ectoplasmic backpack from Ghostbusters. I am in a hurry and don't even try to make a sense of the folds I use. I shoot it and destroy the ghost.

I decide that if we need to face an army of ghosts we need more weapons, but that one was too powerful, so I opt for something else.
With another sheet of paper, I build a ghost-killer tennis racket, so I'll have to go melee with them.
Few more ghosts come out of the house and we face them.
The racket proves funny to use, slicing them in potato-chips-like strips, then dissolving them !

I want to clear the house quickly, so use the big crane to eradicate it from its basement. I expect an army of ghosts to come out, but this doesn't happen, just dust appears.
We enter the cave, torch and racket in hand, and ghosts come out of the f... walls !
We need more torch, I multiply the one I have (a power I shouldn't have, but no time to fold) and give to the team.
Then we face the ghosts. Through ectoplasmic rays and racket hits, we kill few waves of ghosts. We keep putting torches on the wall, killing ghosts and proceed.

At once, farther in front of us, where torches barely light, we see hundreds of ghosts merge together to create a giant white one.
Unfortunately here the dream starts fading (it's ~50min already). I cannot recall how we get through.
However, after it, there is a round cave with shallow water at its bottom, a rock at the centre and a small bridge connecting this rock to the cave. On the rock, a treasure chest with some lit torches around.
This time I wish for a more powerful item, and when I open the chest I find a magic wand.
It's a pretty simple stick, with top shaped like this <.>
Not impressive looking, hopefully its powers is not too shabby...

When we exit the cave, there are bandit waiting for us. The dream is fading quickly here...
I raise my hands above my head, but I've got the magic wand in one of them. It shoots some rays and the bandits fall to the ground
Dream fades, I return the focus to my body, then get up and check clock: it's 7:33, work alarm 7:40. Whew !

01-Nov-2016 - ND - Two girls, one bike + 2 WILD - #1) Watch sheet's molecules - #2) Surf and Snowboard

Finally managed to rack up a semi-decent night of sleep
ND contains one very common DS that I missed
The two WILDs are quite uninteresting, with the only exception of snowboard track on the 2nd WILD, which is nice

ND - Two girls, one bike

I am in a large room, may be a garage, together with two girls: one is SR ~my age, the other is younger, I don't know her, she's riding a bike.
I notice that under her coat she's wearing nothing (!!!) and I can see a tattoo below her bellybutton - this shocks me, but I do not question my reality

I also take a bike, I do some close call stops before hitting a wall. Then I ask where the brake handles are (!!! - I've already used them), and the girl shows me. After riding some more, you can guess what happens with the girl (!!!) <SNIP>

I am in a car, SR is on the passenger seat, I am terribly sorry I got in touch with her and start crying (!!!), saying things like "I know that would happen" No more recall


WILD #1 ~2AM

Starting from previous ND, I manage moving into an LD, albeit not easily
I'm in a room, and I want to make it bigger with some trick.
With the help of someone else I cannot recall, I extend a sort of textile/rubber sheet, starting from the walls, then around some metal poles in the ground used to make corners (not 90'). I stop when I think the room is big enough.

Now I want to experience transformation of the molecules of this sheet into those of a wall (?)
I become smaller and smaller until I see a sort of three-dimensional grid around me, but that's it, nothing special happens

I try looking at water molecules.
I enter the cabin at Doc's lab, putting a water of glass into another cabin nearby

I become smaller, and find myself immersed in an empty space with some bubbles all around, lightly connected together. It should be a represantation of water molecules I guess. However, again nothing special happens.

I think I should complete my room, making walls and a roof, but I fall asleep, most likely of boredom


WILD #2 ~4M ~20/30min

This is linked to yesterday's IWL activity
I'm walking together with CDG, a F friend, along a beach. I ask her if we can do windsurf and snowboard together, and she's happy about it.
After some "preparation", I try windsurfing, but the effect is not very interesting

Then we move to snowboarding. I start descending at a slow speed, but after a drop I go much faster.
The scenery around looks beautiful, with a city far away, and lot of snow around.
The path has many curves, jumps and drops, providing nice physical sensations.
It lasts for perhaps one minute, then after attempting a loop, everything becomes more blurred and weaker

Overall, I am satisfied, and go to sleep
