6/20/14 8am Woke up from alarm, brushed teeth, went back to bed. 8:47 am DILD I think I was in the bathroom and it was pitch dark. I knew I was dreaming. I tried shouting vivid or brightness, but it didn't work. I did flips in the air. I knew I ha to get up, so I either woke up at that point, or continued into a non-lucid dream, I don't remember which. I don't remember the order of my dreams either. non-lucid I was on a boat getting to land and both a hammerhead and great white were trailing us. I was scared of falling off the boat. But we did make it to land. Also dreamed of an Animal Crossing esque scenario in which the girl I nanny makes a creepy house. And of a Japanese video machine. The boxes for the machine had Japanese on them. I couldn't get the videos to work and emailed my mother-in-law about it. She replied saying she should send me some videos in the mail and that the videos I had, which were from China, weren't good quality. At one point I changed the channel and a movie about sharks was on. A daycare kid was next to me and I quickly tried to change it as a giant shark jumped out in the movie. Also, one of the videos available for the machine was an educational, animated video with Japanese sign language. I only saw the cover.

This morning I had a dream that wasn't very vivid. It featured some people from my high school and a cafeteria, but I don't remember much else. I feel there might have been an aspect of driving to it. I did not record the dream when I woke up. During the dream I realized I was dreaming during a stream of thought. I didn't feel very connected to my dream body in the dream and didn't have that first person perspective that I have in vivid dreams. So even though I debated changing the dream and trying to go to Japan, my dream plan, nothing came out of the lucidity. I just knew I was dreaming as I witnessed the dream.
