<SIDE NOTES> Had quite a busy and MAJORLY WIERD dream last night (Non Lucid)
Had clear recall in the morning, but didn't note anything down at the time
Dream content lost (its now 15:55)

(DILD Low level Lucid, little control)(From last night, tried WILD earlier)
I'm with my sister, and were on a train to Auckland New Zealand, we've still got a while to go .
The journey passes (story jumps) We arrive at 'central station' and get off the train.
The station has a glass canopy roof, like they do..
I recognise the "GLASS" (dreamsign), I start to question my reality & perform an RC using the text on the train info boards
(They're the old fashioned 'split flap' mechanical displays)Low level Lucid!!

We walk into the city and explore it on foot for quite a while & see famous sights like 'the skytower',
the harbour with all of the yachts with there sails up, and in one of the side streets we get burgers from the 'white lady' burger bus.
<<Never been to NZ in waking life, flight too far & expensive, but would like to go & have read stuff about Auckland>>

We meet an old woman beggar, who waves a wet-wipe/baby wipe at us,
and mumbles something about it.
.. I reach into my day napsack and give her a large paper cup, and then she wanders off
<How random's that?!?>
Lost Lucidity during this encounter

After a short while, we've decided we want to do something else..
... So we find some transport to go elsewhere.. Soon we find a small terminus halt, which has tram track, and a very low platform (about 3-4 inches)..
At this platform, there is a queue of two seater'bubble cars' on the track, we get into the front one, close the doors and get transported away...

...We end up in the countryside, with rolling hills and grass meadows.
We get out and walk for a while, and find people riding quad bikes over a rough terrain course

A guy comes up to us and tells us we will have to wait 3/4Hr for the bikes, and we can wait over there, pointing to the edge of a desert (we didn't notice before)

I walk over to the desert edge, and walk on the sand for a while. (Don't think my sister joined me here)
I can feel the sun on my back & can see shimmering heat haze on the sand.

<Recall and/or dream itself faded here>

(From last night, tried a WILD ~4.30AM)
During WILD attempt I hear someone ring the doorbell a couple of times, and 'think' that someones trying to deliver a parcel

It sounded so realistic, that I jolted up in bed, then got up to check (looked through window next to front door)!!

When I went back up to bed I tried a couple of RC's in case, but they both passed..
(text reading bedside clock, looked at hands)

I know the time because of my bedside clock in the RC

I’m inside the 'airside' departures at a large international airport, airside, like Amsterdam Schipol..
There is a huge area of glass window.. Its just slightly light outside... I think its really early morning
I'm looking out across the tarmac, and runway, thats all 'lit up' seeing planes taxi-ing, taking off and landing

(Lucid.... ??WILD with FA?? or WILD fail ---> DILD
Failed a WILD... I got to HI, visualised a scene of being at a fireworks display to have somewhere to goto
(Lots of the colour Orange and Yellow in the bonfire I imagined!!!)
but couldn't transition to full dream scene, gave up & went to sleep, ended up in DILD)

I’m in a mobile phone store (Orange), sat on a tall 'trendy stool' at a tall fake wood effect table.
The assistant (female, shoulder length natural blond) sat opposite me is pointing to important clause(s)
on the contract paperwork in front of me, and verbally stressing a few points
I'm not really reading the paperwork, instead I'm looking at the assistant, nodding my head, acknowledging what I'm being told... (shes pretty!! BTW)
I'm told the usual stuff about my talk plan.. Which I say I'm happy with, then ...
I'm told something about "blah blah blah section 921 of your agreement covers the Orange LUCIDITY subscription you've added, and how to access these services"
I said something like... "Yeah Yeah, I'm all OK with that... I think I know how it works, and what I'm doing..."
I laugh out load and say... "For all I know I could be dreaming right now"

I look down, and sign the paperwork... Then I try to REALLY read bits of it, but the words keep on 'evolving' and make no sense!! <LUCID>
(The feel of the stool I'm sat on, the table and the paper under my hands, and the warmth from the stores' pin-spot lights above me are my 'grounding points')
I look up again. The assistant doesn't acknowledge my 'I could be dreaming' comment, but instead tells me about
"ringing 921 from your handset for customer services"..
The assistant then gives me a copy of the paperwork and wishes me well in a "bye for now.. good luck" kind of way

I leave the store, and walk along the street a while. I walk along a normal street, then a tree lined avenue.
I find a bus stop, with four men and two women who are waiting at it...
... I decide it would be good to question them about dreams, and if they know they are in a dream...
... I talk to them for a while.. The different people have different 'individual' reactions...

A couple of them seemed hostile & annoyed that I suggested that "you are a figment of my imagination in a dream. You dont really exist"
... One tried changing the subject to his tropical fish?!?, the other hissed something about "Dealing with crazy people"
One of them blankly ignored me..
One of them thought it was funny, and laughed at it (but still evaded answering)
One of them acknowledged she was in a dream, but seemed more concerned what will happen to her when I wake..
One of them acknowledged he was in a dream, and he found it interesting... We engaged in a little conversation over it

I'm too busy chatting (& winding up) the DC's ... Soon it just goes fogs out to black

(Non-Lucid ... No induction technique tried..)

I check the USB/charge skinny connector is plugged into the bottom of my iPod, wondering why it wont charge.
I notice that a couple of inches further down the cable, the outer sleeve is damaged & that there is bare copper showing..
.. I think "Ah, thats why. Its going to be REALLY expensive day, I'll have to buy a new one (cable) today"
Dont get the logic... In waking life, ipod cables are not expensive

{This one is from last night.... (31 may 2012)
Waking life I've had some worries over a close friend for quite a while...
We normally share quite a lot, but I can tell there is something going on, that he's not sharing at the moment
I'd like him to open up on what ever is going on, because I'm worried about him}

(Non-Lucid)

I’m walking around a large glass topped 'observation deck' on top of a tall tower.
It has a glass floor as well, so I can see the city down below.
There are tables and chairs in the observation deck,

Theres a set of ornate (presumably lift) doors in a solid bit in the middle of the observation deck.. (the tower)
... My mate walks through the doors, and comes towards me purposefully..
... We give each other a big embracing hug
(I woudn't do that in waking life, even for a close friend...)
... He tells me "everything's going to be alright, and he needs to sort a few things out by himself"
... We go and take a seat at one of the tables, which I didn't notice before had a felt lined backgammon board in the table top
... We start playing backgammon (Don't know how to play waking life.. so must have made up the rules in my dream)
... While playing, we talk for a while about random/meaningless and irelevent/mundane stuff
..... Part way through the 'random' conversation he tells me how spending time together with a mate is what he needs right now
... We carry on chatting any playing
