Lucid Time!

This dream came to me pretty fragmented. This is what I get for trying to WILD when it has become pretty clear to me that I have no idea how to wild.

I wasn't successful in being lucid, but I was successful in inducing my dream location, a beach. Specifically it was the dream sign beach resort, the one my family visits every spring around this time.
I think I may have been mildly lucid when the dream began.

Something was going on having to do with food.

I was giving someone a tour of the resort. Come to think of it, it might have been Lia. I can remember one of the three buildings had a weird extension made from these brownish cobblestones. They were cemented together, and the extension had these huge panoramic glass windows. It looked very modern in fact.
The DC who I assumed was Lia was curious about the extension. I told her that I wasn't familiar with the extension and it must have only been added after the last time I visited.

Okay, I need to go and cry now that my two best dream signs just sailed right over my head.

The resort began to distort, and it felt like we were in more of a bay type area. The bay that seemed to be closing in had these really tall trees on the shore that felt like the giant jungle trees from Minecraft, save for they were realistic and not made of blocks.
There were alot of rough waves in the water. I spotted a whole palm tree that was floating on the water and being pushed toward the shore. I then spotted a second palm tree, followed by a couple of very large pine logs that were sawed off on each end.
One of the pine logs washed up on shore right in front of me. Lia was still with me and explained that it was weird that the logs were washing up on shore because they were cut by a logging company in California.

Why that information was important, I don't know.

I was in a set of maybe two or three rooms. It felt like these rooms were underneath the beach that I had been on in the first part of the dream.
The rooms were arranged in a triangle formation, with one door connecting to each room. The rooms were covered, wall, floor and ceiling by a rich brown wood. (Maybe it was the pine wood from earlier.) One of the rooms was larger than the other, and there were about half a dozen dream characters chatting and talking. Apparently this three rooms setup was part of some strange social experiment.
I tried to go into the room with the other dream characters, and I wanted to chat with them, but there was a tall thin boy who disallowed me from coming into the room. I tried to go in twice and each time he pushed me out.
The third time I tried to go in, I told him not to push me and to just hear me out. I felt like somebody was next to my right leg, and I looked down. There was a girl, maybe two years younger than me trying to put her clothes back on. Realizing she didn't want attention, I quickly looked away out of respect and realized she was the only girl here. When I looked around the room, and saw the faces of the other boys, I got the feeling that the other boys were abusing her. (I guess this was part of the social experiment we were in.)
I kept on talking with the tall boy, who started to become more friendly as we chatted. I think I was eventually able to make amends with everyone.

I was exploring some area that felt like the eastern side of the town I lived in. It was summertime rather than wintertime and I felt like I was lost and needed a car ride back to my house as it would be a lengthy walk.
I first explored some kind of storefront type area that I'm not familiar with in RL. I later got into a neighborhood type area that was similar to the neighborhood my friend S lives in.

Fragments (Don't really care for 'em)

I was climbing a water-slide made out of sand. I don't know how that works either. The water-slide was in the woods behind my neighborhood.

My subdivision had been replaced with some sort of beach area. There was a river running where the road used to be. The beach had a lot of broken glass on it, but all of it had been eroded by the waves and made into round stones. (Y'know beach glass.)
Different areas had different colors of beach grass. A dream character was explaining to me that the different colors can symbolize different things.

I was in the hunger games universe. (Agian?! I don't even like the hunger games.) And there was this tradition that if you light a lot of candles the night before the tributes are picked, you won't get picked for your district. We had this big chandelier thing covered in lit candles so that I wouldn't be picked as tribute tomorrow.

I can't remember how I got lucid, but I was in the baseball diamond at the front of my neighborhood. I think the house that was closest to it was a little odd. The other thing that I recall was that there were dark storm clouds overhead.
S was there. He told me this was a shared dream. We decided we wanted to have a flying competition.
I did my old method of flying that worked surprisingly. (Not focus flying.) I held out both of my hands and jets of fire formed in my hands. (Though it was a red fire, not a blue one.)
S mimicked me. He held out his hands and started flying too. I was ascending slowly, but he was going even slower. Once he realized I was winning, he somehow changed the flames in his hand to a green color and started going about three times as fast, he passed me in altitude.
I turned my flames green. I started moving up faster than him again, and started catching up.
He started changing his flames slowly from green to blue to purple, and continued accelerating. I changed mine to purple and caught up with him. We were in the grey storm clouds now, but we still had a general idea of where the ground was.
He was getting frustrated, and turned himself into a ball of purple fire. He began to loop around and head back toward the ground. I too turned myself into a ball of purple fire and looped toward the ground.
We dived twoard the ground, and we both pulled up before hitting it, only to see that there were a pair of large trees blocking each of our paths. S hit his first, landing with his stomach and he slid down it sort of like when a cartoon character hits a glass wall.
I was somehow able to phase through the tree I was about to hit.

I had an FA from the shared dream. S was asleep in a sleeping bag on my bedroom floor. I was in my bed.
I went to wake him up and ask him if he had the shared ream with me. He held out his phone and started snapping pictures of me. I tried to stop him, but he still took quite a few photos.
He then actually got out of the sleeping bag, and was really angry. He was taking the photos because he had some app on his phone that would take famous scenes from movies and replace the faces of the characters with the faces of whoever you took pictures of. And all of mine looked really bad because I flinched away from the camera. The movie theme was star wars.
I asked him about the shared dream and he said that he had experienced everything the same as me. He told me I won the flying completion because he didn't know how to phase through the tree.

That day I asked S if he had recalled the other end of the dream. He said no.

I recall a fragment from the night before last where I was going to use my dream guide as an art reference, and S was there. This dream seemed to be a continuation of that. I was showing some of my art to S, and he was liking it. I got to several pages that were all failed attempts at me drawing my dream guide. (In RL, I'm not good at drawing people.) S thought they were really good and wanted to see more, but I told him to give me my sketchbook back.

Fragment

I am riding the school bus. I know S is there but everyone else is unfamiliar. We are going on a field trip to look for art references of all things. I think I got mildly lucid and was looking for my dream guide as an art reference.

Fragment: Minecraft


I am in a rainforest biome. I jump off a mountain into the water.

Brains!

I am in my tech school class and the room looks pretty normal save for there is a door in the corner of the room where we have the green-screen set up. The greenscreen has been replaced with a marker board and the remaining camera equipment has been pushed aside.
I am on my computer... doing whatever when the teacher calls us over by the door. He begins by drawing a brain on the board. (Given this is an art class, I think we are learning about... how to draw brains...?) So I expect he will experiment with drawing the brain from different angles and what not.
No, the dream goes a different route. The teacher is actually going to lecture us on the different regions of the brain and what their functions are. (Again, this is an art/computer animation class)
The first thing he does is draw a small circle in the middle of the brain. He makes a joke by saying that this is how much of his brain is actually functional. A few people laugh, including me. He then erases the circle and begins talking seriously about the lesson.
I get bored almost immediately and begin to think about how this lesson COULD actually intrest me. I think about the only brain related topic that I'm actually interested in, in hopes that maybe I could bring it up in the class discussion. (Obviously that topic is dreaming.)
Hmm...Dreaming. Lucid dreaming. I should do a reality check.
I don't even finish my thought when a dream character bursts through the door and shoots me with a gun. I wake up.

Well screw you too, random dream character.

Fragment: Football.

I am playing football. (Strange b/c I don't even know the rules of football in RL.) We are about to score a touchdown when the other team starts cheating. I don't see how they are cheating at first, but then realize that some of the players on the other team are "football robots".

Fragment: Random

I am feeding ducks cheese bugles. (SERIOUSLY, BRAIN, WHAT THE HECK!?!?!!?) One of the ducks tries to fly away, but I think gets shot by a hunter. The other one starts barfing the cheese bugles back up next to me. They are much bigger and covered in ... duck spit? I don't want to eat them, even though the duck seems to be offering them to me.

Lucid Nightmare: Dentist in math class

I am in my math class. At least two other kids are talking about an assignment, and the teacher is pestering me about something. Eventually she stops and I get ready to sit down, but a dentist comes in and tells me I must have a dental operation.
A large dentist chair complete with instruments appears at the front of the class. The dentist sort of forces me to lay down and leather restraints go onto my arms. The dentist explains that I must have my braces augmented then he will use a laser to kill germs on my teeth.
We cut straight to the laser part. The laser comes down from the ceiling on this robotic arm. The projector is a chrome cone like device. (Another cool sci-fi design) The laser beam itself was actually a purple color. I get to somehow watch as the dentist uses the laser to clean cavities on the inside of my own mouth. But he seems to be making mistakes and having the laser hit my gums. This hurts. A lot.
Eventually, he gets done with the laser. He says he is going to start pulling bad teeth out. He gets a rather intimidating set of pliers and pulls out one or two teeth. This hurts. Even more. He keeps pulling teeth out, and I can feel the inside of my mouth. I'm trying to figure out what teeth he's pulling.
Okay, this has gone far enough. Somehow one of my hands gets free of the restraints and i do a nose plug RC.
I'm lucid, but the dream is really unstable. Heck, I can feel my arm in two places at once, pinching my nose, and sitting by the side of my body under a blanket.
Nevertheless, this dentist doesn't seem to like the fact I've become lucid. He begins to wake me up by casting a magical spell from his hand. I want him to stop (for obvious reasons), I feel for the tray by the side of my chair and grab a handful of dental tools. I'm ready to stab him when I wake up completely.

I was acting out a sequel to the movie "Battleship" (enh not a great movie, but the effects and action were pretty cool.) and I was commanding a ship to stop the aliens from bombing a coastal city. We only had four minutes to do it. We pulled into position and saw the alien ship. (Our ship was sailing parallel to the shore of a tropical-looking island. When I saw the alien ship, I recognized it as the last alien ship from the movie. (The one that projects the giant sheild.) I couldn't help but remark that the ship wasn't projecting a shield like in the movie, even though it had the shield projector panels out.
We were still out of range, and one of my officers came up with an idea. She started launching small mines into the water. She told me to detonate them when they were directly behind the ship and they would thrust us forward.
I had to get a handle on how long it took for the mines to be launched then drift to the back of our ship. I eventually found that launching them, counting to four, then detonating them was enough to thrust us forward.
I lost my handle on the dream for a bit, and now we were in the town the aliens were about to bomb, trying to warn the citizens. I had become mildly lucid, clearly not enough to hunt down my guide or alter the plot of the dream, but the plot of the dream was pretty cool anyway.
I can't even remember how I figured out the flying technique, but it was weird. I would have to hold my left hand out in front of me with my index and middle fingers raised. The idea was this was called focus flying, and it was one of the millions of ways lucid dreamers learn to fly. (Someone standing behind me told me that.)
I lifted into the air, and quickly learned how to control myself. I continued with the dream plot by flying through the streets of the city, warning people to get inside because aliens were preparing to land we were going to fight them. I also remember a couple of my lieutenants (I was a ship commander) were there and they seemed both impressed and confused by the fact that I could fly.
I eventually went inside the largest building in the town. (The town was mostly one and two story buildings built up by the beach. This was a large hotel, maybe 8 stories tall.) I flew inside, and found the building went pretty far underground. I was still focus flying, and I continued by warning people about the oncoming aliens. I told them to go to the lowest floor of this hotel.
Oh yeah, all the dream characters were really confused as to how I was flying around with two fingers raised.
I got outside and flew back to a group of my naval officers who were still standing in the middle of the street. They said that it was "too late" and we had failed, and used up our four minutes. The aliens had won they told me. I woke up.

I was watching a 3d animated movie. It was one of those really cliche stories about the boy who sticks out like a sore thumb at school and always gets bulled and what not. The first scene I recall seeing was the group of bullies get onto the school bus at their stop. One of the bullies said "This is where we get on on, and this is where you get off!" And threw the main character kid off the bus.
The bus drove off, and he ran after it. Somebody remarked that there was no way he was getting to school on time.
Until now, I had been spectating. Now, the movie explained that the next character had to be an older kid who used to be bullied alot, but now had made the best of it and was doing better. I would have to help/guide this kid. So I was given a body.
Then I realized I was in the same situation as the boy, late to his school and forced to run after him.
...this can't be right!
I realized I needed to reality check. But for some reason, I couldn't think of an actual reality check, so I had to come up with one on the fly. I decided to punch something really hard, because if I'm dreaming, I'm actually just laying in bed, and there's no way I can feel pain from hitting the structure.
I punch the side of a brick building, and it doesn't hurt. I just feel a little shock go up my arm, to let me know that the surface is solid. This also stabilized the dream some. The main character kid was still running to school, and I was quite a ways behind him.
I held up my left hand again, with two fingers raised. I started running after him, and jumped. I landed with a hard impact on the ground. I jumped again. I sailed through the air for about 20 feet. I was catching up to him. I jumped onto a bench, ran across the seat, and jumped off the other end. I landed on the concrete, bent down, and focused my energy (as best I could) onto my fingers.
Kaboom, I'm off and flying. Now the thing about focus flying, in both these dreams, Is you don't go much faster than 20 miles per hour. It seemed to be a very slow, controllable method of flying. But when I took off, the first thing I had to do was steer to avoid a rather large tree growing out of town square.
I flew over the main character boy. His face looked like this.
I saw the school coming in the distance. It looked like the school from my comic strip, in that it was tan colored and had broad windows. The group of bullies were in the school yard, and they also had that face when they saw me fly overhead and land inside a second story window. The director explained that it was OK that I hadn't helped the boy, because he wanted to establish that we were friends before he started having me help him.
When I got inside, I the inside looked exactly like my high school. I decided to show off to my friends the flying technique. But first I had to use my reality check again, so I punched a cinder block wall inside the school and again, just a mild shock sensation to indicate that the wall was solid.
I came over to the staircase. (At my HS, the cafeteria is sort of sunk into the floor.) and decided to use that as my launching pad. But the focus flying failed.
Because I had such bad lucidity, I figured the reason my flying was failing was I wasn't dreaming anymore. This meant OH MY GOD! I'M AT SCHOOL CLASS STARTS IN FIVE MINUTES AND I DON'T HAVE MY BACKPACK!
I decided to text my mom and ask her to bring my backpack to school. I recalled leaving it by the door. But I wanted to word my text in a funny way. So I turned on my phone and started texting her, but I couldn't think of a funny way to word my text. My phone was really low on battery and died. I woke up.

I am working with a gamedev team that is trying to develop a sort of pardoy shooter that takes elements from several first person shooters and includes them into one. The game has this really sophisticated VR simulation thing that the ask me to test.
The game has fairly good graphics, probably on par with today's systems, but I can still pick out polygons in the rocks. I am in this canyon type area, the canyon is maybe forty feet wide, and the walls of the canyon are about as high. There are large boulders strewn about in the canyon that I can use for cover. At some points, the canyon is flooded with water about two feet deep that I must wade too.
I begin advancing down the canyon. This is one of the campaign missions. Slowly but surely, enemies begin to attack. Grunts (halo games) and Psychos (borderlands). They are pathetically weak. I kill them.
It is at this point that I realize I have three out of four weapons equipped.
Weapon one is a large green sniper rifle. It has a boxy design with olive green panels on it. There is a large scope on the top. The rifle seems to have low recoil, and be accurate, but not do much damage.
Weapon two is just labeled the "cutter". It was a black shotgun-like weapon that fires a horizontal orange energy arc out of it. At close range, it cuts enemies in half, at medium, it can still kill them, but at long range the energy arc disperses and gets too weak to kill.
Weapon three is just a needier from Halo. This turned out to be the weapon I relied on because it has unlimited ammo. I still have to do the reload animation where I shake the weapon, but I never run out.
I continue advancing down the canyon, killing waves of increasingly difficult (but still pathetically easy) enemies. As I advance, the "feel" of the area changes. When I had started, The canyon was very foggy, as if it were raining. Now, the area was illuminated with a bright orange-ish light. I get to this area where the canyon widens. A narrow river cuts the area in half. There are rock shelves with enemies all over them, and a high-tech bridge crossing over them. There are jackals (from halo) attempting to snipe me from up on the bridge.
I hide behind a boulder, and reload my needler. I try to poke up, but get hit with a sniper shot and my health goes down. Ground troops flank around the boulder and I kill them. My health re-gens, and I poke up again. I fire my needler at one of the snipers.
I realized it would be better if I used my own sniper to counter them. I got out the green sniper gun agian, and was ready to counter them when... I woke up.

The sci-fi designs in my dreams have gotten alot cooler lately.

I was riding on a school bus with H and maybe C. H had an Ipad or some kind of tablet device and we were watching videos. While the bus was filled with this golden light.
We eventually arrived at the east entrance to my school, by the bus loop, sort of in the back of the school. There was a banner set up and a bunch of people partying, as though we had been gone a long time. There were maybe about a hundred people there.
I got out of the bus, and began enjoying the party. I noticed a lot of people had balloons. Then, out of nowhere, everyone's balloons started popping and people began running and screaming. I noticed there were darts flying through the air from somewhere behind me and breaking up the party.
I looked over my shoulder, and maybe fifty feet behind me was a guy on a machine gun turret, built up on some boxes. But instead of bullets, the gun was firing darts into the crowd. I tried to run toward the guy, but party-goers kept running into me and tripping me up. I tripped over a small child and fell onto the ground. I felt two or three darts hit me in the leg. (ouch.)
I crawled the rest of the way to this guy, then lunged up and tackled him. I must have knocked him out or killed him.
And, because of dream logic, afterwards, everyone just went back to enjoying the party. I overheard some dream character saying that people had brought shotguns to the party.
Someone came up behind me and blasted me with a shotgun. But it was at this point that I learned that this was a weird new kind of pyrotechnic toy that used gunpowder but fired no actual bullets, so when you got shot with it, it would just blast you with air. I don't know exactly how it worked. But it still made a loud noise that scared me.
A mother was watching a pair of very small kids, both of them were carrying these shotguns. They both ran over and blasted me. Agian, it didn't hurt, but the loud noise scared me.
I decided I wanted my own harmless shotgun, so that I could blast some other people. I found a box that was apparently a kit to make one. In fact the box contained dozens of kits inside cardboard tubes. I didn't want to be greedy so I took one cardboard tube and stepped out of the party crowd for a minute while I assembled mine.
It turned out to be very complex. When I opened the tube, there were hundreds of parts including mostly small screws and wires. There was a large flexible computer board with lights on it. The instructions stated that the first part of building your harmless shotgun was to select the color of three different lights on the circuit board. You could pick from five colors. Red,Green,Yellow,Blue, and Brown. I asked a man (Marcus) for help.
He looked at the circuit board and the dream changed from the party outside my school to this very high tech looking reactor room.
The room had a huge glass vial of liquid in the center, surrounded by dark metal supports. On the top and bottom of the room there were jet turbine fans spinning very slowly. The liquid was changing between Red,Green,Yellow,Blue, and Brown. There were four panels on the wall, like vertical plasma screens. Red,Green,Yellow,Blue, and Brown. But they weren't in sync. The vial and the four screens always changed so that every color was always displayed. We were on a catwalk above the lower turbine fan as to not fall in.
(I have to say, it was a cool sci-fi type room.)
Marcus opened a door between two of the plasma screens into another square room. This room also looked very cool and high-tech. We both walked into there. There were dispensers on the wall that dispensed liquids in each of the five colors I mentioned.
Marucs explained that each of the colors represents a different element. Red=Fire, Blue=Water, Green=Earth, Yellow=Air, Brown=Metal. There was a large L-Shaped tank of blue liquid in one corner of the room. He used the dispenser to fill a cup with red liquid and poured it into the tank. For a moment, the liquid in the L shaped tank went red, then changed back to blue.
While he walked over to the dispenser to get some brown liquid, he explained that mixing two of the elements creates an inert and largely useless mixture. But it's when you mix three that things start to get interesting.
He poured some brown liquid into the tank, and glass dividers came up dividing the tank into three sections, kindof like this. (Dividers in blue.)

Each portion of the tank drained of liquid, to reveal they had become something different. One became a sort of desert area with these light green spiky plants. Another became a crystal garden with green crystals growing out of dark grey. I forget the contents of the third tank. It may have been a clear quartz crystal garden.
The tank lifted up and separated each of the divided parts into a display case parts. Marcus was trying to convince me of how amazing it was when you mixed three of these elements, the possibility were almost limitless. I found it hard to be interested because the crystal garden looked dirty and fake.
I actually became mildly lucid at this point, but I'm just going to say I was non-lucid. I was looking at the crystals and thinking about how these crystals looked so ugly... This seems like something I would dream about...
Nope, I'm awake.

I have only a rough idea when I had these dreams, but they've been on my mind and I want to document them.

Hang Gliding

Probably just a few days ago.

I was in this very dreamlike area. It was a large grassy meadow with one huge oak tree and a small, single story school looking building in it. I recall a couple of paved pathways crisscrossing the area. There was some playground equipment; swings, slides and such.
Off in the distance, the meadow gave way to pine forests and lakes. Then those gave way to huge purple and grey mountains. The sky was orange around the mountains but more black overhead. Also the mountains were somewhat surrounded by beautiful orange and purple clouds.
I recall having a large device that resembled a hang glider, but rather than being triangular, it was made square, like the body of a miniature airplane, with wings and a tail. It was made out of aluminum pipes and the wings were given surface by a blue canvas.
Early on in the dream, I was flying easily, and I seemed to be able to control the glider and cause myself to go higher at will, despite the glider's lack of an engine. But slowly, the glider began to lose its properties and going higher began to be difficult. I landed, and tried to take off again, with limited success.
Some DC approached me and told me that the more I believed that the glider would allow me to fly, the better it would work.
I attempted to convince myself that the glider would work. But it didn't. I decided instead to go on one of the swing-sets, but just as I got on, The dream ended.

Race Car Customization

Few months/1 year ago.

I was in some kind of odd futuristic city. It was very bright and colorful but also not very big. I specifically recall this red and grey monorail track. And I was sort of in a back alley park type area. The park was on a steep hill, and there were concrete walls built attempting to contain the hill, and prevent erosion and the likes.
Some dream character approached me, and we entered this game about customizing and racing cars. The cars looked like drag racers with very narrow bodies and large back wheels. But they were holograms floating above us. My car was frustratingly hard to customize. Every time I picked an "option" the car would randomly change to a completely different setting.
Eventually, I ran out of "money" in the game and the other dream character told me that I would have to wait two days until I could get more.

I knew titling this DJ entry as such would get a few people reading.

I was walking down the street in an unidentified subdivision. It wasn't like my subdivision in the fact that the houses were only one story, instead of two-story. Also, the trees were very large and very old, unlike in my subdivision where the trees are still rather small/young.
"Bohemian Raphsody" was playing in the background for some reason. But it wasn't for long when it got to the second line: "Is this just fantasy?" I became lucid. (Second in one night tonight.) Also, I've gotten lucid in some really weird ways in the three years I've been lucid dreaming, but this one takes the cake.
I immediately felt a rush of power, an urge to control the dream. I looked to the sky and used... something similar to air bending to whip the clouds into a vortex. I then transported myself about a block away, outside of this beautiful Victorian styled brick mansion.
I looked at the mansion, and I was still on my rush of power, I gestured up, and lifted the whole mansion causing one new floor to be added to the bottom. I thought I could do better. I gestured up again, and the framework for a large clock tower assembled on top of the mansion.
I gestured up again. I lifted the mansion up another story or two, as well as completing the clock tower.
I can do better.
I Gestured up one final time, and the mansion transformed and then lifted and became an absolutely huge brick skyscraper, probably forty stories tall. I flew up into the air for a second to get a good view of my creation. I took note that there was a small, modern glass box, like a penthouse on top of the brick skyscraper.
I gestured down and lowered the entire skyscraper into an empty lot, leaving only the glass penthouse. I then gestured up just at that and made it a really tall glass skyscraper. I then lowered that all the way down to nothing, then gestured up and created what looked like the dubai tower.
I was going to do something with the new tower, but it was twisting and distorting in a strange way. I used a voice command to "lock" it, but when I did, I locked it twisted up. I used another command to unlock it. I then commanded that it return to its original shape. Then I used the "lock" command again.
I was finally back in my own body. (I had been flying around outside my body.) I realized that the skyscraper I had created was actually only about ten stories tall. Also, it fell on its side, with the pointy end nearly hitting me, so yeah.
I recalled some of my other dreams, where I used a computer hologram for some of more complex dream control. I commanded that one come up. It works, a large holographic OS comes up on my right hand. I'm able to scroll through it with my left.
I decide to forget about manipulating buildings, and focus on things that are actually important. I asked myself out loud if there was an option in the holographic menu to summon my dream guide.
"It's under the contacts tab!"
Now the moment you've all been waiting for. The floating electrical baby head was above me. It didn't have eyes, and the head seemed to be hollow. The neck was cut off abruptly. It didn't frighten me because it didn't look like an actual baby head, but rather just a 3D computer graphic of one. And it had an orb inside of itself that caused electricity to arc out and hit the ground.
I got some back-story into this dream character almost immediately. He was part of a collective group of dream aspects that work together to... play poker! I got to see images of him and several other very weird dream characters sitting around a bar and doing just that. ._.
When the back story ended, it was nighttime, and we seemed to be in the same location. The FEBH it seems had made a fire. We were on a concrete terrace surrounded by railing. The terrace had a stairwell that led down into a rock garden area with a large dead tree.
I wasn't by the fire at first, and I was still scrolling though the holographic menu. I was in the "contacts" list and I came across someone named "Bonya" I clicked on the menu, and up came some girl with braided hair and four eyes.
Me:"Who's this?"
FEBH:"Bonya, and dark projection of Lia. Manei" You know, my dream guide.
Me:"So she's evil?"
FEBH:"Whatta you think?! Of course she's evil!"
Me:"Are you Glitch? Because if you are, I'd prefer you appear as a split ring design and not... this." (To explain that question, I wrote a lucid dream based story about myself, where I had an AI helping me that I called Glitch. His icon was a ring split in four places.)
FEBH:"No."
I walked down the stairwell and into the rock garden area. I thought I saw Lia Manei down there for a second, but when I got closer it turned out to just be a shadow on the rocks. I went back up to the FEBH, and sat by the fire he made. I started roasting a marshmallow.
Me:"So who are you?"
FEBH:"My name is ****" (I can't remember it. It might have been something comically normal like "phil")
Me"Tell me about yourself."
FEBH:"I don't know [Looks longingly into the fire and makes a sighing sound.] Poker is my life. Just little pink squares that... ace of spades; seven of hearts!"
I looked at the marshmallow I was roasting and recalled that I don't like marshmallows in RL, and couldn't think what to do with it. I woke up.

CBut I only remember one part of this dream, the last portion. I don't know how I got lucid exactly, I think I was told by some dream character. I was riding in the passenger seat of some type of car. But whatever it was it felt like it was very clean and very powerful.
Manei was in the drivers seat, but didn't seem to be driving. Marcus was in the back center. We arrived and parked at the top of a good sized hill. I got out and began to walk in circles around the car.
The area we were in was totally alien. I got a feel that we were above an ocean, and that there were some pretty high mountains all around us. Lia introduced the location as some place important, as a sort of dream-scape for me. I can also remember the sky being orange with purple and black clouds.
I began to ask her why lucid dreaming has gotten so difficult for me, or something along those lines. She told me to focus in on a water bottle that was in a cup holder in the car we were driving. I used the bottle to anchor myself to the dream some.
(I wonder if the dream is actually saying drinking water before bed helps me lucid dream. Your guess is as good as mine.)
I was about to ask more questions when she told me that our time in the dream was ending and I had to wake myself up right now. She sounded strangely urgent, but at the same time, she said it like she would be back soon, really soon. (Hopefully, I go back to sleep and pick up LDing; I'm writing this at 2:30am)
I obeyed her and woke myself up,but I ended up having a false awakening into the same dream location. Save for my mother was there. I began to tell her about the dream, and recalled more of it than I did now. I became lucid again, and realized this was an FA. I woke myself up for real, but had forgotten most of my lucid.

I tried for a lucid last night, went to bed around 9:30 and set my alarm for five, in the event I failed, I could attempt to WILD with an hour to go. I had recalled a bunch of dreams, but they faded too quickly in the morning. I know for a fact none of them were lucid.

I recalled only one non lucid dream. It involved me and H. We were at my tech school, and it was time to leave and go back to the normal school. (A half-hour bus ride away) We normally leave about about 9:05, when the bus leaves. It was 9:07 and we were having the typical anxiety dream panic.
We wound up in the Business cluster (RL note, my tech school is a sort of pre-college type thing. There are nine clusters, each for a different career field.) of the tech school. The teacher sat us down in the classroom because he thought we were new students or something. We had to fill out this spreadsheet.
We didn't know what we were doing. We looked at the clock. It's 9:15 now. That bus is long gone.
But because of dream logic, we decided to go to all the clusters. We started walking to the Technology cluster to see what was going on there. But the tech school changed into my normal high school.

Nice that for once, my dreams aren't so fragmented and pointless.

I was at some movie theater (or just regular theater for plays and such) and my family was watching some performance. I can't even remember if what was shown was a movie or a play.
But after it was over, we got outside and everyone save for me wanted to talk about the themes of (whatever it was we just saw) but I wasn't interested. I don't think I had enjoyed it as much as my family. So I had to wait patiently while they talked. Fortunately, it didn't take them too long.
We changed topics to who was going to ride in who's car. I got with my grandfather. It was just me and him in his car. We pulled out of the theater and were in a pretty remote looking rural community.
He turned out of the theater, it was a bland building and went to the right. After about a quarter mile the road became dirt and turned to the left. I also remember there being a sign saying "watch for poop" and thinking that was funny.
We wound up outside this farm house built on a small hill. Most of it was surrounded by a dense, lush forest. I got out, and all of my cousins were there. The farmer came out and introduced himself. I think he had some really generic name like "farmer Joe" he started giving us a tour of his farm by gesturing to in different directions and telling us what there was. I was excited because he had goats (what!? I like goats!) I know he also had chickens, roosters and three cats.
He told us we were going to be helping out on his farm. He gave me this metal tool that looked sort of like a big two-pronged fork. (I have no idea if that's a real farming tool to be honest.) and told me that the cats would lead me to my work spot.
I began to run after the cats. Because the farm was in a rural area, I was running through a maze of trees and bushes to get there; I woke up trying to find my work assignment.

I was at school. A pair of boys were sitting around holding large Scrantons. (You know those insidious things the school system creates with millions of tedious bubbles that you must fill in with a number 2 pencil.) Anyways, they were talking, something about a pilot's test and passing/failing it.
I was in my math class, the last class I have before the end of the day. I began walking out of the school, but my route was rather weird, and I ended up going out through the gymnasium.
While I was walking through there, I encountered this overweight boy. He was acting like he wanted to fight me. I told him that I didn't want to fight (out of character for me!)

I was re-watching the footage from a presidential inauguration when I realized there were female gunmen wearing black shirts and these big sunglasses scattered through the crowd. Somebody was explaining to me that it was a good thing they never attacked.

I was in this baseball stadium, with my mother. We were the only two there. It was nighttime, and a beautiful clear night. There were these fireworks going off in the sky, but they were silent, and seemed to be very high up. They were actually some weird kind of space fireworks.
From there I turned into what felt like some kind of ball of energy and got transported to the moon. From there, I got a brief view of earth from the moon.
I got transported again to this beautiful remote portion of the earth that had large grass covered mountains over ocean. There were rock faces exposed on the mountains. A DC began explaining to me that the mountains were once part of an ancient forest. I walked up to a rocky outcropping and broke off a piece, realizing it was actually thousand year old wood.
The forest converted to a laboratory type area. The dream character continued by saying they were trying to revive some of the unique species of plants and even animals. The lab was full of these strange grasses and bushes growing in rows on the tables. (Sounds like a drug hideout, I know.)
They had revived these two cat-like creatures that had used to live in said ancient forest. I got to watch them do a short mating ritual. The dream character explained that it was a good thing they were mating, for it meant they could one day repopulate the forest.

I was with some family. My parents, as well as my aunt, uncle and cousins. We were racing through the airport, trying to get to... gate B25 I think it was. We ran down a long aisle in a big rush before eventually reaching it.
Once we got there, we discovered that we actually had a long waiting period until the plane actually arrived. Some members of our group complained that they were hungry. So I and my aunt got out a portable stove top and began preparing a pot of noodles for the group. I did notice that whatever airport we were at was lacking rows of fast-food restaurants built into the walls.
