      Bubble car (dream fragment)

      I can see a car starting to form out of bubbles and become more and more solid

      Thunder and lightening

      We're out in the streets and the wind is picking up, I'm in some kind of back alley when the thunder shakes and crashes - we need to find cover - quick! I am with some people and family - we all find places, though my daughter is in a garage a few few feet away. I think she's ok but we have to wait until morning, until the storm has stopped until I can go out and see if she is ok.

      The morning comes and I run across to the abandoned garage to find she's not there. I shout her name over and over, I really start to panic - when someone brings her from around the corner. She looks fine - she is ok! Though after I wake I realize that she had purple hair which was weird (and looked older)

    2. 39th Shared Dreaming Attempt - Kumara's Dream

      Kumara's Dream


      Last night all I wanted to do was sleep and not dream at all...
      I ended up having a long, epic dream of which I only remember fragments



      Fragments - I am in Corpus Christi (doesn't look like WL) and I'm walking until I reach the top of a hill just as the sun rises and illuminates the sky in rich, vivid, nearly blinding colors. It is so beautiful that I want to take a picture and send it to my son. I try to use my phone to text and everything goes dull, like wanting to share the moment or taking my attention from it ruined. I feel really bummed, like I was being punished.

      Later I am with an eccentric couple who is moving to a new house. The closet is very very very long, and they have somehow made the closet in the new place exactly like the old place. They place a big thick clothes rod full of clothes in the new closet. I sit in the closet trying again to text my son, to let him know I'm in Corpus Christi, which means I'm halfway home and at least he knows I'm in the States, now. I am unsuccessful and don't remember why.

      A scene involving a guy and another person, where something goes terribly wrong, someone is badly hurt or dies. We all decide to do the scene over again. To get to the place where it started, I try to go through the door but it is locked. I remember a back way, which requires going through a bathroom and a back hall. I pass a janitor lady, maybe offer a perfunctory explanation and keep going until I am in the office I want to be in and unlock it from the inside.

      The guy from earlier is now going to ride a bull. He pulls out a scroll that was wrapped in foil and says something about a "Clear Conscience". I was thinking he was just going to break a finger but now it sounds like he thinks he's going to die.

      Mayatara's Dream

      non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening

      Female guardians of the universe
      I am an agent of a universal force for harmony in the universe. My playground are the galaxies. I have fun dancing in the middle of some pretty planets orbiting a sun. I have no shape or size. I am formless.
      There is an inhabited planet somewhat similar to Jupiter and I grab it in my "immaterial" hands and play with it as if it is a ball. In the end I blow it up as if it is a balloon. It was time for it to go.
      Once in a while I take the form of living beings and I go among them for specific missions.
      This time I am supposed to come to planet Earth in the human form. I approach Earth and as I enter its atmosphere and fly over green fields, villages and people, I start adapting myself to the dimensions of the human realm. As I land on the ground, I materialize in a naked female body. I walk through the fields and I find a clothesline and grab a white sheet that was hanging to dry. There is a stone wall separating me from a road to the nearest town and I fly to the top of this wall as I wrap the sheet around me. I don't know there was a van with two guys inside it, right on the other side of the road. They see me appearing out of nowhere, semi-naked and flying away and their jaws drop. But I can't worry about them now.
      I arrive in the town and I somehow manage to rent a room in a kind of inn. It is a really nice place, full of artists and bohemians spending vacations in the countryside. There is a group of half a dozen sitting on the floor at the entrance of the inn, discussing cinema. I am looking for a particular group of researchers on that town, who are developing technology to control the elements, just as we, universal guardians, do. The danger with that is that the poor ignorant humans don't have the subtlety or the wisdom that we do and they risk causing massive disasters on their planet with this technology.
      Unfortunately, in the human form, I don't have the power of omniscience, so I have to investigate as a human would. I wander around and ask some questions, knock on some doors.
      I am getting closer and closer to the right people, when one day returning to the inn, I notice a woman at the living room/library with a strange energy signature. She tries to deceive me, pretending to be someone she's not,
      but I she is a demon which is there to sabotage my mission. She is just trying to get me on a moment of distraction, but I know exactly what she is and don't let my guard down. She finally attacks me and I fly to the ceiling to escape. Her neck extends and her mouth opens, showing shark-like teeth. She almost bites me, but I do evasive maneuvers. She is a though demon and I have a really hard time escaping her attacks. I don't feel so lucky and I don't see how am I going to escape. But then I have a single opportunity, when some movie projector lights up by accident and she is blinded by the light for a second. I strike her a blow with a powerful magic spear and she dematerializes. She is not "dead", I will see her again, but she is gone for now.
      Next day, I finally find the scientists, at the exact moment when they are turning their machine on for the first test experiment. The town was struggling with lack of water and they go to a nearby spring, from where water should be flowing in a cascade, but there's only a very small stream. They program the machine to generate a flow of water to the town, but it goes horribly wrong and they create an unstoppable destructive torrent. I knew it...
      They are dragged by the water and the town is flooded violently, but I stop it soon after, so the damages are restricted and no one actually dies. One of the scientists saw me and realized what I had done. When everybody is recovering from the shock, trying to figure out what just happened, he comes to me and he offers me cake at his house. I find it funny and accept. His house was flooded, but he still sets a table and prepares a tea. He asks me who or what I am. I don't reply, I just smile and he tells me to thank my boss. I say "My boss?" and he says "Yes, the lady in charge. Thank her for having sent you to protect us." I laugh. "How do you know she's a lady?" He replies "She can only be a lady!"
      I agree with him, we are indeed what you could call "female energy" beings.


      Chichén-Itzá
      As I fell asleep I started dreaming right away and I was like "Cool!!! I'm having a WILD!". I am at some village and I fly up in the air to see from above where exactly I am. Amazingly, it looks a lot like Yucatán in Mexico, so I am on the good track. There is the ocean to my left and small to not so small towns, interspersed with hills and forests. But where is Chichén-Itzá? Should I teleport or look around? I decide to look around. I fly very fast, hoping to see it sneaking behind some trees, but I'm not having any luck, so I stop again at a village to ask someone. I find another guy who is also looking for Chichén-Itzá. Stupidly, I forget to ask his name. We speak to some villagers and a family takes us across their house to the base of a hill on their backyard. They point us a way they say is a shortcut to there, going through some other archaeological site.
      We have to jump over a metallic fence. We find a giant Mayan head sculpted in a rock wall. It is gorgeous! My companion notices that it has a sculpted necklace with encrusted diamonds. Then I notice, there is a group of about 10 guys who seem to be there to steal the diamonds. They see us and they attack us. I have no time for this, so I just fly to the top of the giant head to keep going up hill, but my companion doesn't do the same and he stays behind fighting 10 guys. I find that inconvenient, but I feel I should help him. A bit upset I go down there to rescue him. I just grab him by the shirt and fly away with him. No time to fight bandits. Just behind the Mayan head, we find an entrance to some underground structure. Once inside it, I have the impression this is a subterranean pyramid. With luck, it may well be an underground entrance to Chichén-Itzá. I go up several floors, hopeful to reach the surface. I start calling for WakingNomad and WhiteRain! I wish that they come to meet me here!
      The stairs become increasingly steep, until we come across some old couple who is blocking some narrow wooden stairs, afraid of continuing either up or down. I help them coming down a few steps and my companion helps them the rest of the way down and I don't see him again. I hear voices on the upper floor and rush up into it. I see two guys on the opposite side of the room. One disappears in the back of some wall and the other comes in my direction. I ask him if he is WakingNomad, because he kinda looked like him and he says "Sorry, no!" and leaves. There's one last set of stairs to the last floor. I realize that the last floor is probably the beacon room on top of the pyramid, with exits to the outside and I am decided to go there, light up the beacon and keep sending calls for my dream partners to meet me there.
      As I put my foot on the first step, someone appears at the top of the stairs: it is George W. Bush Jr, pointing a black revolver at me. I laugh, but he has a smirk on his face like he is dead serious. I ask him "Why the hell are you wearing that avatar? You're not Bush." and the guy says I'm right and transforms into a regular looking guy, but still pointing the gun at me. He says he won't allow anyone to go upstairs and he'll shoot whoever tries. I tell him that's not cool and it's totally unnecessary. I tell him we're supposed to be having fun with this game and that there's so much more he could be doing to amuse himself than shooting dreamers. He looks at me with a sick smile on his face and he says "Yeah, I can actually think of a few things I wouldn't mind doing with you!" Then he grabs me and sits with me on his lap. He asks me if I wanna have fun with him. [warning: sexual content ahead] I feel undecided: at first he kinda disgusted me, but now he starts feeling familiar to me (I wonder who he really is). He fondles my crotch and unzips my pants. He gives me pleasure. I let myself go. He undresses my pants and underpants. He starts doing oral sex to me.
      I totally surrender.

      Mayatara's Dream

      non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening

      Penises independence day
      Two guys in a bathroom start comparing their penises sizes: "Mine is bigger than yours!", "No, it's not, mine is bigger!"
      As they keep going, their penises start to grow and to swell and they are still not happy that the other insists that he is bigger. So they continue "You see, mine is definitely bigger!", "No f*cking way! Mine is bigger an inch!". And their penises become grossly gigantic and greenish and deformed. As their penises grow, the men seem to shrink the same amount and at a certain point, they are just a tiny appendix at the end of the massive penises. Tired of being the playthings of these men, the penises become alive and decide to cut the men off of them! Bleeding and shrieking, the men are then thrown down the toilet by the penises and flushed away.
      It's bloody and gore. The monster penises celebrate their freedom.

      Mission in Africa
      I'm working in an African country for a company exploiting some natural resource. They have an operational base with houses for the workers and a fence around to protect from the wild animals. But once in a while, teams are sent out to the middle of the savanna to work and there have been incidents with missing people and lost material. Apparently some bandits have been kidnapping the white workers to enslave them and robbing the machinery to sell it.
      I offer to be in a team who's going to try to solve the mistery. Zilla is also there. One day our camp is attacked and we are kidnapped and taken to the bad guys' camp. That was part of the plan. When we're alone we make plans for uprising. Somehow we retrieve our weapons and we fight back. There are shots and machete blows, people bleeding on the floor, arms and legs being cut. I go rescue the previously enslaved men, women and even children. Someone screams that the blood has attracted all the lions and hyenas that were nearby and that we should run and save ourselves. We have no chance to help the wounded and we watch from the distance as they are eaten by the lions. I feel disgusted, but at least we saved about 20 persons. With no chance to go back for water and food, we just start crossing the savanna on foot towards our company's base.
      Starving and thirsty, we arrive there and they are throwing a party! Nobody pays attention to us and they even try to take us away not to disturb the party. I feel really upset, but it is my friend Zilla who has the guts to run for the stage, where the guys in suit are making speeches and takes the microphone away from them to scream in their faces how disgustingly cold and heartless they are.
      I smile. Then I accept being taken to the canteen by some colleagues who offer us water and the leftovers from the lunch. I had rice with cabbage, mushrooms and bamboo shoots and a soup.

      Non-Lucid Dream | Fell asleep by 4AM and woke up ~4PM.
      -I'm at Howe park with M* and we're handing out DVD's to people passing by. There's going to be a nice community gathering for Halloween.

      Non-Lucid Dream
      -I'm with a group of people. We're in an underground tunnel trying to escape another group of people. There is a stream of glistening light blue water swishing by. We have to scoot by walking on short edge of cement next to supermarket fridges. As we move along, I see a lot of Vegan food products inside. I saw the word "Happy" on most of them.

      Non-Lucid Dream
      -Looking into the shower drain, I see mice being frowned by the draining water. I pick them up so they can breathe. I accidentally drop them and pick them up again. They don't seem to be breathing at first, but soon they do. They become very small, half the size of a penny, and I carry them on the edge of my right hand. I can feel slight pinching as they come back to life. The dream glitches to me walking to my apartment with them on my arm.

      Non-Lucid Dream Fragment
      -Jennifer poured out the nutritional water I had made for her flower. I find the marbles poured out and the water gone. I go to my bedroom to re-do the vase.

      Non-Lucid Dream
      -I'm walking in front of a class of little boys and girls singing a song in solid pink ponchos with flat pink hats. They are standing in at the first row of seats, just off of a stage. I walk to the side of the audience and hide behind some pillars. Another woman is hiding behind one too. She tries telling the parents that they shouldn't be worried about their children being gay. I tell them they need to truly love their children in a well-said speech. Despite any of this, the parents exit with disgust, and the auditorium is empty. I sit down next to my cousin L* and talk. With us are two old aquatints I knew back in middle-school; Martha and Crystina. I ask if they remember me and they don't. I try to remind them but they don't recall anything.

      Non-Lucid Dream
      -I'm walking with my mom during the day through the grassy field of my Elementary school. We're cutting through the school to reach the street. My 6th Grade teacher Mrs. K spots us and is about to say that we can't walk through here. She remembers who I am and we talk. We walk up some steps along the building seen from the playground. She tells me that she is sick with glaucoma in her leg. At one point, she made weird faces and movements as if she were trying to sneeze. When she stopped, I laughed a little asking if she was going to sneeze. She had a smile on her face right after but said that it was a disorder she had called sugar stitching. I noticed that when I took an extra step towards her, she would take another, as if trying to avoid contact with me. We walk to the next story. As we talk, my mom wanders and opens the power supply box on the side of the wall. Mrs. K tells her "Don't touch that please."

      Non-Lucid Dream
      -I'm a using a flat structure to fly over the school blacktop. By using it in a steady fanning motion, not too fast, I rise higher and higher. I glide over some trees. I turn into a red balloon and come down towards a boy. He doesn't want me. As a balloon, I feel rejected and leave into the sky, sad music plays as if its a movie.

      Bihon's Dream

      I was walking around this shop, as I browsed through items, I was already lucid. Wanting to experiment with items in my dream, I went to get a bar of red soap. It cost 11 dollars, and I left the counter trying to conjure up some money. I tried materializing some in my hands, and in my pockets, but those had failed. I ran towards a potted plant and knew some would've been there, and there was 10 dollar bill. It wasn't enough, slowly losing my lucidity, I prowled around the city, which was very decayed. Only a few people were around, mostly little kids at every landmark. In this place, I knew by heart that money respawned there (like an RPG game) but still it wasn't enough.

      I went to a place for a job training. It seemed to be the boss's house that we went to, and it was very cramped inside. There were alot of us, all women my height. There were also a few fake customers in the trial, and it was soon my turn to try and take their orders. The scene seemed to be hectic. Soon after, the boss (now materialized into a frog) was evaluating us. So far, people have passed, but when he got to me, he had said he can't give me the job. I tried to explain that it was the very first job that I applied for, and when I said I was very confident of my skills, he had interrupted me, and had said something offensive. I imagined stabbing him (being a frog) then throwing him across the room. I left the house, realizing I was in my neighbourhood, but I couldn't find my house. The sky was dark, as if it was about to rain. The whole neighbourhood was bigger than it was, seemingly like a maze, I walked around it. I told myself that I wish I had a bike to move around easier, and I was soon on a peculiar black one. I was a random guy though, his brother on it with me. We both had leather jackets, our hair gelled back. I almost fell a couple of times, but regained control. We found this house, and the scene moved in to go through the walls. There was this girl, and soon, I was her, the scene was cut again and again to show a book about a dog's story, like a narrative. Inside the house was nicely decorated, like a mansion. There was a golden dachshund with me, and accordingly to the book, it was having seizures. It would seem to drown for a second, then had seizures again and again. I jumped into a bath tub with it, and it was painful to watch it suffer. I was also on the phone with her apparent 'dad'.

      I awoke, and slept again.

      There was this group of kids who entered a witch's house. I think I was a part of the group. They hid, and soon the witch entered her room, smiling creepily, and she knew that the kids were there as she plucked them out one by one.

      I was in a high place with a couple of scientists. We were in a dire situation, but I had no idea what the reason was. Below us I could see a neighbourhood, and we had to throw people down to it, someone who would would be able to change it (?) . There was this certain scientist I asked his name for, since I had to write his name down, and I knew that he would sabotage the plan. There was also a rat. Something had exploded. Soon later, the scene was in turmoil, and it was as if we were falling towards the ground.

Once the nightmare past I dream't about a strange world. It was dawn and everyone was in costumes. We were trying to escape from something. dream switched to a false awakening where my reality check failed.

    9. 38th shared Dreaming attempt - Floating head

      by , 10-01-2011 at 06:32 PM (International Oneironaut Shared Dreaming Journal)
      Hotel California...

      I get a false awakening, I'm so tired I start to fall asleep standing up - I then think that this is a bit strange and do an RC,my usual method I can't do because it is too dark to see anything so I try holding my nose - but find I CAN'T breath, although I decide that this is really not a true way of doing an RC (for me) because it has failed many times in the past, but then I sorta just know that it's a dream and walk out of the bedroom. In the hallway it is still very dark (the dreams are only just beginning to form) so I shout 'luminos' to try and brighten the place up - all I get is a sputter of light and then darkness. So I walk downstairs and out of the front door into...

      What looks like a hotel (a mostly dark brown wooden interior), I know I need to get to Chichen Itza but forget what the best method to do so would be. I find the skeleton key in my pocket (which I found last week in my dream) and walk around trying to find a closed door to open (with the skeleton key) and use as a portal to get to Chichen Itza - I'm walking around what looks like the outside of the hotel - I expect to see a door - and do, lots of them - but all of them have windows in them so that I can see what's on the other side - and if I can see what's on the other side I can't get it to work like a portal (damn dream - I ve done this to myself before - or is it me, I don't know) SO then I decide to get out of the hotel and hotel grounds and fly to Chichen Itza. So I walk through the hotel, trying to search for the entrance, I walk past a woman behind a desk (I think she is wearing blue and is the receptionist) and walk into a revolving door - but the compatment to go into is very small and tight and just goes round and round and round and doesn't let you go out - DAMN! Then I wake

      (so the hotel wasn't in California but much like THE hotel California from the song!)

      Build it and they will come

      I'm falling asleep but very aware, this turns into a DIELD. I can see a whole mountain range scenary, I'm thinking about Chichen Itza and how I need to see that, and then decide to CHANGE it into Chichen Itza, I see my hand - a giant ghost like hand hovering over the scenery - I find that I am able to move it - shaping and forming the scenery. So first of all I decide to try and make the central mountain range into a pyramid shape - but find this much more tricky than I first thought, then the dream starts to take control and I decide on using a pyramid shape from zbrush computer program as a good basis, and then it fades and changes or I wake.

      Wake up!
      I'm aware that I'm dreaming (3rd time in the night - woot!) and am with my wife - I try to tell her that she is too, I pull and extreme face, first of all I pull my cheeks far apart with my fingers, and then I pull my jaw back, breaking it and pulling it into my chest - all so that she would remember the dream when she woke. The weird thing is that as I'm pulling these faces I see myself in the third person - behind my head - so I have no idea what these faces look like (though I was trying to go for that part in the film Beetlejuice when the two main characters pull there faces into ghoulish shapes)
      I then decide that I need to get to Chichen Itza - so I fly up into the sky. The scenery is amazing, I am so high and travelling so fast, I can see so much countryside and forest beneath me, hills and rivers and trees- it looks so beautiful - but before I get anywhere I wake. ARGH!!

      Aeolar's Dream

      Didn't write down my dreams, but here are the reinforced bits.

      I am in this room with Ed & Dale, and someone is telling me whom I can talk to in German. This person tells me that Dr. Richtofen is the perfect person. I walk forward, and the German scientist is sitting patiently at a table. I sit down, and he introduces himself. Now, I only understood bits and pieces of what he was telling me, but the gist of it was that he was explaining to me a colleague of his who invented something monumental.

      We are now all rats, and we are running through this store room. We are scared half to death because we are being chased by a rat exterminator. It was very scary.

      Kumara's Dreams

      Fragments, all had the feel of another reality


      In bed with my sis and BIL

      I'm lying in a "bed" of liquid, maybe water but very silky and warm, cuddling with my sister and BIL. I'm trying to take off my socks so I can put my cold feet on him, but they are stuck to my feet. I spoon up to them.


      My son is rescued by eagles

      I am standing on a narrow ledge of my apartment-like dwelling. I am very high up, looking down at a river below and the plant life along the shore. I consider what it would be like to fall or jump, the struggle on the way down, would I finally surrender to the fall?
      I see a figure in the water moving to the left. It is my son, swimming, and I realize he has already made the jump.
      Something is chasing him, it is a threatening-looking man-creature who is at least twice his size. I feel fear, urging him on, and just as the scary being closes in on my son, an enormous black eagle swoops down and claws at him. Another and another appear, until an entire flock of giant black eagles has snatched the scary guy up and away, lifting him into the air to take him away, maybe he is dissolving now.

      I feel a huge rush of gratitude and relief. I wonder if my son realizes the gifts of the eagles, and feel regret that I didn't teach him to acknowledge and offer respect and gratitude to them...I feel like it doesn't really matter because *I* am offering thanks for him.


      The Ministry of Happiness

      I am in seemingly the same or a very similar dwelling as the eagle dream. My (dream) husband or male partner is lying in bed. There is a knock at the door, I rush to it to lock it. Whoever is knocking has found another door and though I rush to lock it as well, they push their way in (this is a ongoing dream theme this past couple of weeks).

      Short, stocky people wearing yellow raincoats and hardhats push their way in and announce they are the Ministry of Happiness. They are here for the man in my bed.
      A severe-looking, big woman in grey tweed enters and brings a big cart full of trays and trays of pills. The pills are different shapes and sizes, some are heart-shaped with flowers on them and seem to be made of ceramic.
      They are going to force my husband to take these pills and force him to be happy.
      I grab as many trays as I can and dump the pills outside, over the ledge. I go back inside for more. My husband is now standing up, looking a bit crazed, and he tells me, "I going to take the pills!"
      He is surrounded by the raincoat people, and the big woman in gray facing him has a handful of what looks like small polished stones that she either puts into his mouth or he takes. It's my understanding that he intends to fake taking the pills.
      In the meantime, there are more little people trying to get in the door.
      I am trying to keep them out, and they are somehow finding nooks around the door to stick their fingers in. I am getting more and more pissed - all of these tiny little fingers trying to wiggle their way in! So I smash and bite their little fingers until I either woke up or transitioned into another dream.


      Fragment - - Of being on the same ledge described above (though it seemed to be separate dreams). I walk around a corner and I see a set of small lockers. The locker cabinet is about my height, somewhat wider, and the lockers are blue and about 4"x4", each with a little handle on the right. It seems that I've dreamed this before tonight or have been here before. I'm looking for something, but not sure what I'm looking for. I open a few lockers, the contents are mostly sparkly little bead arrangements.

      Somewhere in there I was on the corner of the ledge and felt a gust of wind nearly knock me off. I clung literally by my fingernails onto the brick wall, digging in so deep that my fingernails clawed deep holes into the brick. I was relieved and impressed that I didn't get blown off.


      Sparkling Pink Octopus

      A dream narrator showed me a small figurine of a creature that looked like a cephalopod, which was sparkling pink with a glittering gold trim. As the narrator was explaining, the figurine transformed into a very large living, breathing creature. It was lying on a platform, in a setting that looked like the 1800's, in a body of water. It seemed I could hear the narrator's words and the creature's thoughts at the same time, they were synched.

      The thoughts were something about being so big...and it coiled around itself, and slithered into the water, wondering if it was going to get into heaven.

      The narrative was along the lines of, "and that's where that started (the issue of being big/fat/vulnerable) - as a pink octopus in an (old fashioned?) gym."


      Somewhere also in all of those dreams, the narrator was explaining to me that "the natural inclination in a dream is to seek safety", as if he wanted to reassure me not to be ashamed for not facing all of my fears, that seeking safety is just part of the whole drama.

      Fragment - of being lucid for a moment, and blind. Rubbing my arms and body and saying, "I am lucid, the world is vivid."

      Nephanim's Dreams

      I haven't been sleeping well lately... I have trouble falling asleep, wake up frequently during the night, and can't seem to remember most of my dreams, especially past a certain point. It probably has a lot to do with school. Anyway, I'm still trying.

      Annoying Alarms

      Nicole was yelling at me for setting my alarm for 7 AM.

      “You don’t need to wake up at 7!” she shouted. “It’s Friday night! You don’t have school tomorrow, and you don’t need to be up! That alarm’s annoying!”

      “I’m sorry…” I apologized quietly. I didn’t feel like arguing with her. Still, I couldn’t let her think she was right. “If I let myself sleep in, it’ll be harder to get to sleep tomorrow night, so I’ll sleep in again… Then I won’t be able to wake up at 7 on Monday morning when I need to.” She glared at me for a moment, but she didn’t respond. She rolled over in bed to turn her back to me.

      The world around me collapsed. In the darkness, I heard a high-pitched screeching noise. I've been hearing these at the end of all my dreams recently.

      Vesterguard's Dream

      01-10-11 Intentions were clear, rest out after the semester start up party.

      “Its a race on the scaffolding”

      I am at some sort of merry event. It has the feel of a carnival/sporting event/ construction celebration. At the centre of the stage is this pyramid shaped building that reminds me of seats you find and college/highschool sports stadiums.

      I go running, first over the steps of this pyramid and then out on a stretch of hilly land. The weather is nice, sunny and warm. When I come back I start over again, this time with an old school friend of mine.

      We are primarily running up and down the steps of the pyramid and he always seem to be a step in front of me until at one point I loose him completely. He keeps talking about how it is really important to keep up a good pace and a good pulse.

      I loose him at a point towards the back of the pyramid (back defined as the shadow side, away from where the speaker and main action is going on). Here there is scaffolding surrounding the building and the running here involves finding ways to navigate this. So I use my arms a lot to swing from place to place and also run a couple of metres on a metal pole.

      Non-Lucid Dream |Fell asleep around midnight, woke up around 8AM.
      -I'm sitting next to M* in bed at night time. The mood is very calm. My state of mind is at ease. I have my legs crossed and am trying to levitate my body as M* plays relaxing music on his phone. I rise a couple times and try again.

      -I'm running away trying to return to a another universe with my friend so he is not hurt by the ones in the universe I am in. We move through to the universe and a robot becomes a cat.

      -Trying to get away from a man in the apartment. I'm being carried on M*'s back. It's dark outside. I go outside and see a guy on his phone. He's looking at porn, and it is awkward at first, until he switches to gay porn.
