Was at some alley bookstore buying books. I knew the people who worked/owned the shop. Once was called Love and the other people had all emotion names. I had come down the alley from another shop.

Martial Arts with the Major

Was at P's house with him and his family. The house is not like it is in RL but much larger and very high up from the ground. We were in the top room, a good 4-5 stories up in a forest; who's trees rose way further up than we were.
As time had gotten on, my mum dropped by and I drove the two of us to the shops to grab something for dinner. We ended up buying lots of Chinese food. For just the two of us we have about 5 large bags of different dishes.
With the packages still warm in my hands and smelling quite tasty we started to leave. On the way out, P's dad said hello and commented that what we had looked pretty good. I gave him the cold shoulder jokingly telling him he wouldn't be getting any from us, and with that we left and the dream changed.

I was with a group of people (adult) by the pool. All nice and casual; people slowly drifted off and we eventually had myself, two other guys and Major Motoko Kusanagi (Ghost in the Shell - watched recently). It seemed we had planned on stay around together as the Major was going to teach me how to fight in a particular martial arts style.
Mainly I learned the stance which was: open bodied, shifting the weight from left to right lightly side-to-side, arms up for standard kickboxing punches. When I tried to put my leg forward to punch she told me I was doing it wrong. I needed to take a small step and then bring up my other leg low and deep to put more power into the enemy. Every now and then the Major would say punch or kick and I would have to shadow fight the moves out. My kicks were fine as she didn't say anything about them; they were knee-high blade kicks which looked more badass than in RL.
Once I had the basics down, which didn't take long, the Major left and us three guys started talking. One of them used to practice the style a while ago but didn't use it anymore. The other guy was a seasoned fighter having done it for years. He seemed to respect the Major considerably since she was the best according to him. He also spoke to us about the philosophy behind the style and what it aims for in the strokes and movements.
___________
I can still remember the moves and the fluid rolling stance is quite natural. I'm quite impressed with my subconscious for teaching me the basics of a martial arts style - Anyone know of a style that is similar to what I described?

School Crazed
I was at my old primary school with everyone from my year there except older and as I know them now. In the front playground it was all very casual; people wore board shorts and the atmosphere was fun. People were mucking around with foam pool noodles (no water around there though) and similar foam balls that looked quite fun to throw around.
Someone got close to losing one of these balls over the fence and one of the teachers who I guess was supervising us told the guys messing around to move away from the fence, everyone crowded around and started throwing all the equipment over onto the street.
Then we all ran around and picked it up off the highway intersection. Traffic was getting angry with us but everyone was out of control; running around on the busy road and screaming our heads off. Someone else appeared on the road who was dressed like an American footballer and P ran around behind him. At a full sprint it looked like P was going to tackle him but at the last moment he booted a basketball as hard as he could across the road and into the fence we had started over. At the massive kick and hyper-pumped up situation everyone was cheering and going even more insane through the now completely halted traffic.
Another group of guys had gotten a football now and were running in formation, passing it along at super fast speeds over cars.

Then the teacher must have seen just how out-of-control everyone had gotten and called out for everyone to stop; we would now do a starring competition. At this news all the students calmed down and piled onto pedestrian islands all around the cars. Everyone immediately paired off with someone to star down. I was standing on the far side of the intersection and started off with R whom normally I wouldn't be happy about but here seemed quite happy to star at her.
After beating R everyone that was still in the competition paired off again, this time I went against C. While starring her off too I heard a voice call my name from behind me. I turned to see E sitting with some other of her friends on the ground.
"Yo?" I called as I turned, "Hi" responded E since we hadn't/haven't seen each other in a long time. "Oh hey!" I was rather pleased to see her.

And that is all I can recall. The adrenaline and frantic frenzy of crazy activity on the highway was really intense and I smile every time I see P kick that ball in my head; just as he would do in RL.

Just before going to bed I was restructuring my goal dream (what I really want to do when lucid next) and I decided to try to include Alice Cullen in it. Upon deciding this I stopped to think what I would actually ask her if I did meet her in a dream. I figured I would ask mundane things and see what her responses were; I decided upon 'what is your favorite color?' and 'what languages can you speak?'.

Then in my dream I met Alice (yatta!) and asked her what her favorite color was. Her response I can't fully remember, however I know it wasn't an actual color. She said something starting with B and ended in a number. All I can think of is Bavarian-113 although I know that's not quite what she said.
After a short time more in the dream with Alice I woke up into an FA where I got quite excited that I could remember what Alice had said and wrote it down in my DJ. Then I woke up again later and realized the horrible truth, I couldn't remember .
I did get to bring out my subconscious Alice however and she is every bit as pretty in my head as I hoped, so all is not lost .

Frag
Was pouring orange juice from a large bottle into a smaller rounded, glass jar sort of container. I was there with the Cullens (Twilight) and I remember that the whole scene was an echo of the movie's kitchen scene where the vampires prepare food for Bella. I had to make the choice between straight orange juice and that pine orange juice; I ended up going with the latter. Not for taste I remember but to cancel out something else that was bugging me, like a smell or sound.
I don't like orange juice or pine orange juice like that anyway so I might have been trying to choose the lesser of two evils. I might also have been a vampire myself and so my sense of judgment on food could have been a tad off.
-Saw the twilight movie that last night (wasn't as good as the books )

After waking up and falling asleep again I had this dream.

Falling to Darkness
A new terrorist/criminal organization had gained control over numerous nuclear/high explosive missiles. They could satellite guide them to any location in the world and essentially had the whole of earth at ransom.
Not soon after this report came in was America hit for massive casualties and was crippled so much it was pretty much wiped straight out of any defensive strategies that were in the works.
Then here in Australia our PM was addressing the nation live from near my house. I went down to where the whole set was going on. It was a big, grassy field, heavily overcast with little drops of rain falling every now and then. The PM was at one end of the field near a tree line.
He was quite scared (as were other nations) that we would be next and continued to explain in detail and without sugar coating the facts as to how easily we could be destroyed. At some point in the speech he mentioned the satellite navigation placement of the missiles and I saw from a GoogleMaps style vision a red box over Australia which zoomed in, over and over again until the display was the top of the PM's head.
My vision changed back and everyone seemed to look up in dismay. The PM was moved back under the trees/out of sight and this seemed to divert any attack.
Soon after the speech ended and I went back home. My family was there and no one wanted to do anything, a lull had befallen the nation and we all lived in fear. Then the ground shook and the power snapped out. Looking outside, everything appeared normal except power had failed; on sunset too the world began to become dark. At the house next door I could here people singing happy birthday and thought of the idiocy of those people. How they didn't seem to know that their country had been attacked and also the irony in singing about how happy a day it was.
With the power out, the internet had also fallen (we had some other sort of way to access the internet without using direct electricity) and that was the clincher. No global communication, no electricity; the world descended further and further into anarchy as the hours passed.

Simple Spy Style
Dream began by entering my new boss's office. It was richly laid out with books covering all the walls of the high ceiling room and possibly even candle lit desk. In the center of the room was a huge square gap in the floor through which I could see a research laboratory on the next floor. There were four desks each with a different kind of stone clamped down.
The elderly, yet obviously quite powerful, boss of mine said that they were researching ways to tap power out of the elemental stones. My new job for him would be to help with this ongoing research since I was an expert in the field. I got the feeling I would be looking through most of the numerous books on his shelves.
This was all rather secretive as by working for this man I knew I was swapping sides and working for the enemy agency. I was essentially a spy.

The next day I was on a yacht with people I was being introduced to. It was all fairly casual, there were some kids there and the wife of a man I knew from this new job. The man (who wasn't there) had strikingly blond hair and really loved his wife.
After the brief boat trip I ended up in a warehouse with the blond guy's wife and had discovered that she was working for the enemy agency (where I had turned away from). Obviously I had to kill her and did so on the secluded and dimly lit warehouse floor. No one was around and no one knew it was me.

Dream shift to my wife's perspective. She/I was in a fruit shop and was becoming very excited over a bizarrely shaped fruit/vegetable. It looked like two small pumpkins or large zucchinis merged together like two tear drops. In the middle of the join was a smiley face, ever so cute, and I bought it on the spot purely because it was so unique.

Dream shift back to my secret agent/husband body. I had arrived home to our newly bought house (like we had just moved to the area). It was very large and I began exploring it since this was my first time being inside. It had a lot of wood paneling and just screamed secret doors/rooms. As I walked around, I called out to my wife to ask her if I was making any more money than usual. She responded that I indeed was and rattled off three payments of money, each with a description; the first was turning up to work on time, the second for keep the kids safe and the thirdly saving a boat. Obviously my wife knew nothing about what I was doing for work and so the shifting payments were (not so) cunningly disguised as bonuses.
I ended up in my RL bedroom and threw my tie off onto a chair before going back into the house. The huge house was almost perfectly symmetrical including stairs at one end that began at both walls of the living room and curled up passed the corner to meet in the middle of the room and enter into the second floor. It was like a large Mr & Mrs Smith style house.

Next day I was back on the yacht, this time with my wife, blond guy from work, his daughter and another female friend. Wife talking to the daughter and said when she was growing up she got a tattoo on her 'little lip, well little lips', which she indicated as her nipples under her loose one piece dress. Upon hearing this I imagined small butterfly tattoos but was not at all put out by her rather sudden comment.
The female friend suggest she show the daughter. Everyone was a bit hesitant at first but we two males moved off momentarily for some privacy.
While chatter continued I was dropping in a lot of hidden meaning that I directed towards Mr. Blond about his wife and her working for the enemy. He seemed resigned and unhappy about her death because apparently he knew nothing before she died about her work, but he obviously didn't know I killed her because he didn't blame me for anything.

Later that night back at our house I went outside with my wife to see the police had turned up. They wanted to get into our basement for evidence, primarily against us. They entered from the street through a metal grill/gate but wife and I went back inside to the duel stair case. In the floor just at the base of the stairs was an outline of a rectangle and I pushed it down to create a continuation of the stairs down into the basement.
Somewhere here I took on my wife's perspective again. The basement was all dusty, dark and loaded with cobwebs. The police were at the far wall crowding around rows and rows of old school video tap. They were all movies and cartoons that we had recorded off the TV at some stage. "Now we've got proof" was declared from the leading officer as we were under suspicion of being serial killers (Dexter themed). My husband replied, "Have fun watching cartoons and movies back at the station" to some of the lower ranked officers.
Leaving the seemingly foolish police to it, hubby and I walked back to the staircase but on the way I noticed a grate in the floor off to the side of the floor between two large, obscured objects on the room; kind of like being in an old engine room on a boat.
The grate top was engraved, green, sewer access looking and rather out of place in the dusty, unused room. Upon expressing my question to my husband he looked at it naturally and replied simply, "Irish house" with a chuckle and I this made perfect sense to me so we continued back into the house.

Over the passed few days my dreams have been blurred and lacking substance. I have noticed sightings of the Cullen family (Twilight) because I have just read the first two books. Interestingly no vampires or supernatural, just the characters, especially Alice who is my favourite.

Friends With Duff
I was at my house, sitting on the fence next to the pool. With me was another friend and Hilary Duff. Me and Hilary were really close friends; it seemed like she and I had know each other since we were kids and the three of us were relaxing, talking and mucking around. I must have checked my phone at some point because I had it out and Hilary grabbed it from me because she wanted to check her email. Fiddling with something in the back similar to a sim card she flicked through my silver phone with ease and I just sat back. The phone was quite futuristic and sleek looking.

Then the dream shifted to some time later and I was on an airliner plane, with Hilary and lots of other random people. Something happened and the plane started to lose altitude. I glanced out the window and saw the street that runs adjacent to mine in RL; everything was running slowly and I must have had a puzzled expersion as the street flew by, I declared the name of the street to everyone around me and how it was odd the plane was there. Then the plane kept falling, down a sloping street and eventually hit the asphalt as the road flattened out and came to a coldesac.
Right before we hit everyone was standing up, not in fear but wanting to know when we were going to hit. Looking out the front cockpit window I saw my old highschool grounds just as they are in RL and started to get a little histerical, trying to point this odd fact out to everyone.

Once the plane stopped and we were outside B came up to me, he must have been on the plane too, and asked why I pointed out the first street before. "I live on the next street, just over there" I pointed. Realising we had somewhere to go a group of people I knew including Hilary walked easily to my house.

There was another segment without Hilary but I seem to have forgotten it

Fall to Fly
Was with two others in an enclosed military style compound, the other two guys they had just blown up two armories that were lined with explosives and pointed to two smoldering craters quite close by. Quite pleased with themselves the pair declared it had been such an easy sabotage so far we should continue to blow more buildings up.
Since that was what we were there for we went to the far wall of the compound and found a set of automated doors set into the huge concrete wall. Inside however, it was small and empty. We wanted a room full of more explosives to make our job easier.
Standing around talking the automated doors opened and closed several times and after a while it opened and inside was a thin, long missile; just sitting there.
With the missile we figured we should see if it would explode and decided to have some fun with it, so we went back through the compound until we were in the back of a large military airplane which contained the whole compound.
Through dream logic by throwing the missile out the back of the plane it exploded in the air, about half way to the ground.
Excited that it worked all three of us jumped out of the plane after it. We had no parachutes or gear for such a jump but went down like pros; bodies straight and streamline so we could go as fast as possible, in a tight formation.
Hurtling toward the ground my mind must have figured that the dream logic wasn't quite right and I got lucid. Now I knew I could just land fine next to the missile we threw the three of us landed neatly on the green grass of a huge field.
The odd missile which had exploded was still intact and the other two seemed to think it would still work fine. While they discussed this I RC'ed to make the dream more solid. I put my finger through my palm (which I never do as an RC in RL but always seem to do in dreams), oddly, my finger would go in but not come out the other end; like the inside of my hand was much bigger than it really should have been.
Satisfied that it was definitely a dream I called the other two guys and we flew off back to catch up with the plane. Flying was great, I remember being very high and looking down on the endless green fields. About half way through our flight I wondered how long I had been asleep for and my speed dropped dramatically. I quickly reshifted my focus purely to flying and picked up speed again. I looked behind me and the guys were tailing out beside me but we were all pretty relaxed, definitely not as military and uniform as the jump down. We sort of cruised along, arms out, enjoying the scenery.
In the end we did get back to the plane and flew into the back, up the loading ramp and planned to explode the missile inside the compound but I woke up.

Jumbo Beach Wave
Was at a beach with friends. The sand was great and the beach was wide and uncrowded. Soon enough we each grabbed up our bodyboards and went out into the surf for some fun. After catching a few waves and mucking around we went back up to our towels and sat around for abit talking.
Then it got really hot so we decided to go in again. The others didn't take boards because they planned on just body surfing but I took mine (which was a bright blue). Once out floating in the water, this insanely massive wave started forming. We were all looking at it going, "Woooo lets GO!" and then jumped into it or tried to ride it. I don't know what happened to everyone else but I was riding it for a while and right back to the beach where it turned and I got the front of my board drilled into the sand under the water.
I heard very close by this little kid who hadn't been very far out get smashed against someone (his dad?) but he was ok. After that we all ran back out to get the rest of the set but once a few more massive waves came it died down and the fun broke up.

Kira Krimes
Was my first day at my new school and I was walking through town. School didn't start for a while so I wasn't heading there just yet. I was being very careful who saw me and how I acted in public because I knew that I was 'Kira' (Deathnote - Have a notebook that kills by writing a person's name in it). Then a police officer spots me and I start legging it through town, which quickly became nothing like what it should however I still knew my way around.
Ending up at the grungy market place at the edge of town I had escaped capture and started doubling back into town. I had considered numerous times throughout my escape to use my notebook to control people into protecting me but figured it would take to long and might get me caught faster.
Sitting in a bus shelter waiting to catch the bus to school it turned out I was sitting just outside the police station. Sure enough I was caught and had to sit inside the building watching my bus go passed. I felt kinda bad that I had missed my first day and guess my story would leave a bad first impression.
Oddly enough I was given a slap-on-the-wrist and went home.
The following day I waited patiently at the same bus stop and wasn't bothered so I supposed the first day I had killed someone or used my powers.
Sitting on the bus some of the other students knew who I was and seemed impressed that I had gotten caught up with the authority.

Visualization/Frag
Not quite a dream but had my first real experience with successful visualization some time this morning.
My visual rippled like water from black outwards in a circle/iris to reveal a room in front of me. I was looking at a wooden slatted wall, like I was in a hotel lobby. Then the image would fade back the way it had started.
I managed this about 3 times and the 3rd time I recognized what I was doing and tried to move my head/vision which broke up the fragile image I had made.
Again I plucked up the image getting clearer each time and as it formed I thought about what else was around me and turned my POV down to my right. There was a wooden table against the wall, something you would put a vase and nothing more on.
Trying to use tactile sensations to re-enforce the dream/scene I put my hands on the wood and felt around on it. Ran my hands over the drawer's handles, the wood top, the edging and then a candle stub that was on top. Thinking it would be great to light it I picked up a box of matches which had appeared as well. In pulling out a match I felt alone the rough strike zone. I think it took about 3 matches to actually light (the others must have been dodgy/broken) but just as I got the flame to the candle wick I wondered why I needed matches in a dream.
Dropping the lit match I flicked my fingers until they caught alight and I used my left index finger (flaming) to light the candle.
I then tried to smell the candle; which had gotten bigger and flat in a bowl. Thinking a candle smell would come naturally and distinctly enough but as I moved closer to the candle it blacked out and I couldn't get anything back.

Only remember two sections of two dreams I had. In the first, I was at tennis coaching and the handle had fallen off my racquet. My coach insisted that I use the handle (which eventually turned into a long metal sort of pipe) to play tennis. After trying to hit the ball with the relatively thin makeshift racquet I got very frustrated and asked why I couldn't just use a spare. I idea of me not using my own property seemed outlandish although it happens all the time in RL. I remember briefly thinking of Cluedo (the murder game) and the classic line, "Did it with the lead pipe".
Then I woke up feeling annoyed at my boring and frustrating dream.
Going back to sleep, all I remember was talking to my sister about this third eye (complete socket and all) that I had only just noticed on my face; it was roughly where a high eyebrow would be. My sister went on to explain that everyone has extra eyes, she had four eyes (not glasses, but four complete eyes) however they were all synced in the same as the others. She showed me this as she blinked and they all blinked, looking around they all looked to the same place.
Feeling enlightened about my new eye I started experimenting with the odd vision I was getting. I image having four eyes would be far less confusing than three which is what I had. My visual perception of things was really wacked out and kind of lope sided. I closed my third eye and could see normal, and closing my two normal eyes with the extra open made everything extremely fuzzy and I put this down to that eye on its own could only see in a 2D way (that doesn't make much sense now).
The other thing I remember trying with my extra eye was focusing on something at a distance and seeing double of something close up, you know how it is . Well with the extra eye I got three overlapping images of things which was really bizarre to look at.

Why the whole eye thing didn't make me RC I'll never know but the extra sensory perception was rather interesting.

Been really aiming for more lucids over the passed two days and its starting to pay off.
I can't remember what the dream was about this morning, but I remember checking to see if I was dreaming and what do you know, I was!
I was in my room then, on my bed just like I had woken up. I think it was a potential FA but I just stuck with the knowing I was asleep. Then in RL I could hear my mum talking somewhere in the house and someone dropped a chair I think making a lot of noise. In an attempt to somehow get away from the very distracting noise and hang on to my moments of lucidity I tried to think of a way out of my dream house. My plan was to jump off my bed and crash through my window.
The logic was if my dream body was away from the noise maybe it wouldn't affect me so much. Problem being, the dream scene was so very familiar and what with the overlapping dream/RL I wasn't quite sure it was a dream. I mean, I was pretty sure but didn't want to wake up in a hospital and get asked why I was crashing through my bedroom window.
After contemplating this daring window escape for too long the noise got to me and I woke up.

On the whole a poor dream, however my reality checks and attention to scenario of late seem to work so thats a plus.
Also I have learnt from this that I need to go to sleep earlier so that when in a good dream it won't be 9 in the morning when everyone else is awake making noise.

Was in my house somewhere and W started to strangle my mum. She was choking and couldn't breathe and I was yelling as loud as I could to get the **** off her. The louder I yelled the louder all the other random people around me got and I could hardly hear myself. I didn't want to hit W and he eventually stopped after I got closer to him. Sitting on the steps in my house I held my mum as she tried to breathe.
Then I woke up rather rapidly and lying thinking about my dream, I felt really disgusted and angry with W someone whom is by no means like that in RL, he is quite a friendly guy. Telling myself not to think like that the emotions subsided after a few minutes as I told myself it was only a dream and I was the one who came up with it. Gave me some insight into the idea of, "Waking up on the wrong side of the bed" and letting your emotions change your thinking.
