monkeyking

I had attempted, as I do most nights, to enter WILD at the very beginning of my sleep cycle by laying on my back. I began entering SP, which felt like I was electronically flickering in and out. There was a flash of white light through my whole body and I violently jerked. This, of course, woke me up and I decided to take my chances with dream induced techniques and maybe WBTB. I had a night full of fragmented dreams, false awakenings, ranging from Non-lucid to fairly controlled LD. My recall of the evening is poor. I remembered two parts of the evening, the first was one of this year's tasks which came to me slowly as I took the bus home from work. (by the way, I get paid to sleep, and thus to practice my lucidity skills) The other I didn't remember until some twelve hours later when someone asked me about the person I dreamed I was.

Non-Lucidlucid

Cretaceous/ Tertiary Mass Extinction
I'm in an office and know immediately that I am dreaming. I look to my right and tell a man in slacks, dress shirt and tie that we are about to witness a terrible asteroid collision that occurred tens of millions of years ago. The DC told me I was crazy as I watched the scenery around me shift to lush green outdoor. The sky was blue and cloudy. I had transported the office staff with me and we were standing in a field surrounded by trees, bushes, like the land at the edge of a forest. The DC's were hanging out happily as if it were some picnic in the park, some drinking from plastic cups. I tell the crowd to "Stop talking and witness the fall of the dinosaurs!" Someone said that we were just in the park and I thought about saying something like 'yeah, JURASSIC Park!'. but my better judgement prevailed. The cusp of a mass extinction is no laughing matter, I tell myself. I told them we were in the time of the dinosaurs, and someone asked why there were no dinosaurs. I looked around to see that, indeed, there was no dinosaur in sight. I looked into the skay to see the asteroid approaching.
"LOOK! IT COMES!" I shout.
The asteroid looked like the boulder from '...Temple of Doom' only much, much larger, and I watch it hit what looks to be a life sized lego jungle some distance away. Everyone but one guy gasped and ran away. The man ans I stayed behind to witness the devastation from afar for a moment before starting the journey to the epicenter of the collision.
As we neared the impact site more and more things were blown down and/or ablaze, and there was smoke, dust, debris surrounding us, getting thicker and thicker as we neared the impact crater. There was what I assumed to be a large protection bubble around us, keeping about 20 or so meters around us clear of any dangerous fallout and allowing us to actually see all of this.
The main impact crater was beginning to cool, it seemed, and when we reached the rim I became almost mad. I began to laugh and make the ground inside the crater rise like a mountain from the fiery hole. I willed the earth to glow hotter and hotter like white hot coals. My DC companion told me this made him uneasy and I laughed maniacally. I told him I would erect a fire mountain larger than anything on the planet, and he told me I'd gone mad. I screamed that nothing would survive but the blinding glow of my fire mountain, my "Tribute to the death of all life". I was unable to look at anything but the blinding glow of my massive formation. I began to lose control and everything became gradually more and more transparent looking. My DC companion calmly said
"You're pushing yourself too hard." That's all I remember.

I never actually saw the DC. Only felt his presence and heard his words in my head. I wonder if that was a DG. I've had what I thought were DG's before, and they only show up around important events like precogs and projections. Anyone have any thoughts?

The next thing I remember about my dreams was this evening. Someone asked me how my friend was doing. My friend has been missing for a few months now. He has been homeless now for around a year and has had a hard time finding and keeping steady work. Around Christmas he went to stay with his sister and was accused of stealing a bunch of expensive electronics just before he left from his sister's family. He adamantly denies doing this.

I'm in a house. The feelings are that of disease, distrust, loathing and pity. The house looks like it could be a modular home. Cookie cutter lower income family house. There is evidence of children and the place, while not a complete disaster, has the look about as if maybe only one person gives a damn about 5 people's worth of lazy. I'm standing at a counter and two women are talking. They are heavy set and familiar looking. A man walks by and makes a snide comment to me about keeping my hands off of things that don't belong to me. He's trying to be clever and hurtful but only succeeding at the latter.
I realize that I am my friend, and immediately I have access to more than just his vision. I can feel the balding, the color of his hair and eyes, the heavy center and belabored breathing. I/he feel guilty, because I know I stole the stuff. My sister has given me a second chance because I'm family and my brother in law wants to kick my ass out into oncoming traffic. I feel like I deserve it, but I'll never own up to what I've done. They have all agreed not to hold a grudge, but the brother in law just can't help himself.

The dream is unexciting and lonely, full of self pity, anger and fear.
