non-lucid

D1 - In a changing room I am trying to move about using a special location language. There are plastic wedge shape triangular cross hairs positioned around the room. I cant figure it out its in some unkown language.
Then really freaky woman with long hair come in, although they are looking downwards with their hair falling over their faces, so could be other life form.
They move slowly into room, they detect the movement thingies and use them to follow me Oo.
I make it from bench to bench to the top of a cupboard.

D2- There are lots of people? with heads that are mostly covered in blue flames , distorting their features. I watch mezmorised as they move like one entity. I find I cant move and wake myself up.

WBTB - I decided to find out what the woman in dream one were doing
not going back to dream two Oo just now

D3- I enter the changing rooms again. The woman (they are now) are sitting talking on a bench. They are using a language unknown to me.
It is a language of power and they are from influential families. The one with long shiny lush black hair is strongest.
I try taking their powers away by removing their language from them.
They dont know whos doing it and I get away with it.

D3.5 Long dream wandering around inside of white castle. I am escaping something that I manage to trap behind some boxes also I manage to get all the weapons.

D4- Am in a shop that people are using as a changing room to the annoyance of the owner. They are chucked out but more come in. A guy is plugging in his laptop and then hanging washing on the outstretched extension lead lol.
We leave and find a load of taxis, sue is hailing one then changes her mind.
Then she tries to get in the same taxi as the people who were changing clothes They are confused, so am I and my daughter.

D1 -Borrowing my sisters small white car to drive out to place in the countryside. A large house on many levels with a staircase running the length of the house. It is winter time and my brother is doing something with the heating, I am wearing winter gear indoors Oo.
I have to phone my sister to explain about the car, shes kinda ok about it.

D2- At school I have to deal with crazy new year ones. Boss complains about my handling of situation. Then it turns out he is partly to blame and could have forseen problems. I berate him angrily.
I introduce a new system of rewards which works well and am congratulated by all.

D3- In some kind of game world. I am talking with a team mate I have a blue background which is waving like a flag a projection. I am choosing to downgrade.

D1- In an office looking through cases with a boss and one other.
They are trying to figure where some account money that is missing will be coming from. I try to explain about an account which gets money put in annually. Ive had this dream before but this was the short version.

D2- I am working out the best place to live in Africa. It is another survival dream. I am checking out all possibilities based on various factors.

D3- I an at the bottom of a tower made of cube shaped compartments. Climbing up to get to my room. My brother is their and some of my old student clothes Lol.

Tried wbtb x2
D2 very nostaligic feelings.

D1- Sisters wedding planned for next day, itinery includes cookie making competition. I plan out some receipies , making large choc chip cookies.
Wedding is out at some large farmhouse in the countryside.

D2-There has been some kind of apocalypse and I am out scavenging. I go to my old house and search through things for usable items. I already have utensils/crockery etc at new place but feel sad about leaving these yellow ones behind. Also sorting through what food remains, I dont want to leave old food there to rot it seems wrong.
As I am spending so long being regretful?nostalgic? and sad this gives a man and a woman who are in the house time to emerge. I had thought both of them to be dead killed by some virus. One is me and I dont pay him much attention. The woman makes me feel overwhelmed with emotion, I am so grateful she is alive I had missed her so. She looks very wasted and sallow. I pull a track of some kind of cord out of them, out of their throats, this is part of the cure that happened to me also.

D3- At school I have a new class, I plan for them to go over their previous lessons work and correct/finish it then start watching spirited away with the remaining time. To my suprise they have done very well with their work and are a very nice class. I then see an old boss of mine who was horrible but in the dream is nice and also supportive, they are wearing light clothing.

nice to have, positive mood/outcome
also second dream very emotional.

D1 - In a small room sharing a round table with a bald old guy with glasses. He is assessing a big stack of books but the door to the room keeps opening so he is getting more and more annoyed.
in the end he leaves complaining that he has never etc etc
He asks me if I have marked book pb-1256 yet, I embarressiny say I have not yet, it is a blue book.
Outside in the road there is a massive pile of red books, so many that it is stopping a large bus from reversing.
My work mate Ed has his lunch:a lunch french bagette with ham and a scotch egg tucked under is arm. He steps up into the front of the bus to drive but is encumbered by his groceries.
A weesel or something is trying to get at his food in the confines of the cab, causing him more trouble.

D2 - Repeating dream
There are a line of women and in order to solve something I have to visit them each in turn but keep running out of time.
I am convinced of this and keep going into the same dream.

D3 - I wbtb and find myself back in the dream I get a bit fed up as its not working. I realise its a dream and makee everything explode. It is like special effects from a movie, everywhere there is splintered wood traveling in slow motion through the air.

D4 - outside a flat that is supposed to be a. Old one of mine, but is not.
the door is boarded and inside one window is.
Outside i am waiting when paul from work gets in my way causing me to walk into wAter. We are high up over the main road of shops and I see above a pagoda style restaraunt that there is a giant dragon and frog statue in jade.

D1 - I am looking at a third person view of a youth with long dark hair and sunglasses is leant against a wall in the dark, it is a split screen view of the same youth sitting in the blinding sunlight.
On one side the youth has made good choices and has good intentions on the other the opposite.
I am trying to choose between the two as they continually add choices.

D2 - In a large wharehouse style Art gallery/ exhibition centre.
The walls are all painted black and the lighting is diffuse from the high ceilings. I am talking with a group of artists but I feel they do not have proper motives and are trying to deceive others. They see me as a threat and I am chased through corridors of the exhibition. Running through the ground floor with windows onto a courtyard, in heavy sun. I run between their artwork, which is being resprayed from nozzles on the ceiling. The artwork is everchanging to create a moving painting, sprayed in a circular fashion.

D3 - At college a student is trying to cash in a credit payment. But is having trouble. I inspect the note and see that it is in fact an record form showing that they infact are not enrolled and owe fees. Everyone else is oivious to qhat the problem is.
I go into a dark room with lots of big old computer screens.

Got to Barcelona where there has been a lot of stormy weather but none transfered to my dreams

D1 - Someone had the idea of raising money by creating a ride. Customers would plumet marrionet style, flipping over and over. She decided when I expressed concern into one freefall drop ending in a flip to the ground level. I felt this would be probably fatal but was most concerned about her state of mind for designing it LOL

D2 - A boat was being stabalised by placing gold bars into it, they were strangely shaped and ornate.
D2 - Staying in a poky flat, I needed to take my hamster to the vet. I felt quite worried for it. Anyway I went out , deposited hamster then went dentist.
On returning I realised I forgotten about hamster.

I was at some aunt's house and thought it was christmas for some reason.
Anyway something was repeating over and over again. I was trying to do something, gymnastics? yoga?
then I was transformed into a form of energy, I could see third person view my outline in this strange yoga position
but inside I was an orange flowing energy, quite runny like orange honey or lava but not hot. It was cool feeling and nice.

Then it dawned on me that I was in a dream and I said "I'm dreaming!" a little too excitedly. I was perplexed at not being human in my dream but being this wonderful but unusual energy.
My mind started to race, "Quick what should I do while i'm lucid","Fly!" I thought. So I flew but I moved within the outline only, so it was more like everything else moved and I stayed still, "Zoom" then I thought um, what now? and was happy and wondrous of the energy.
then BOINK! I was waking up.

Last lucid was caused also by slow dawning due to physical sensations of a repeated event (key turning).
Thanks Elainey! for giving me the intention, again

Walking around a town at night, it was getting dark.
For some reason it seemed sensible to take a shortcut through someones house. This meant climbing through their window and into their kitchen. Also once was not enough and we went around again. Second time round the owners turned up an oriental family. They did not seemed perturbed instead the dream became about the fact that they had a lodger and that it was some kind of tax avoidance thing. The lodger was being paid a few thousand and was actually there to do some building work and decorating.
Outside was a giant skeleton of a rounded building that was being delivered.
Next we went and crashed back at our place. This meant sleeping in a large floor to ceiling shower. There was someone else with us, who the girl with us had casual sex with. The previous night it had been the same.
I felt left out and left. I found a place which was a room filled only with beds. I created a body out of thin air but it was a bit ghoulish.
There was then a person in the next bed who kept trying to pinch my things. To avoid this I had to climb up a bell pull which was hanging down like a vine from above my bed. I climbed up and up, like Jack and the bean stawk. The guy kept pulling and I fell down.
So I created some mini soldiers of sorts to protect the bottom while I climbed up. They had cuttlery as weapons Oo.
Next when I came down there were some annoying old people who were trying to punch me. One had really crazy curly hair, and they seemed to be joined together. Anyway I only had strength in my right hand. Eventually I punched them and went back to bed.
By now the room seemed full of people. Chance of sleep or anything zero.

I had been meditating on space between my thoughts and not getting caught up in my thoughts when I fell a sleep.

I then had a false awakening where I thought there was someone at the door, I could not move as much as I tried or would move a little then find myself in exactly the same position again.

Then I was back in a dream, I was a woman with long black hair and brown eyes. I knew I had been followed by something or someone, felt like it was a previous dream I could not recall.
Inside the bedroom of a narrow house, I was trying not to move a muscle, trying not to make a sound. But I felt whatever had been sent to get me was here. I crept out the door to a side of the house away from the road and obscured I hoped from view.
LOL towering above the house and reaching way up into the clouds it seemed, was a creature with skin like bark. It could have been a giant tree, except its top came to a point where the gnarled head was and there were no leaves just branch like brown arms.
It was immobile but felt as though it was straining its senses to find me.
I went silently along the back of the house and into a side door to the kitchen. I waited there until a man I had been waiting for, with short brown hair and a black waistcoat turned up.
It started to rain as it got heavier we decided to make a break for it. The creature that seemed more like an elemental spirit or titan, had been still for so long, we were now unsure if it was waiting for something but we could wait no longer.
We walked in the rain which soon became torrential, hammering down on the road. Straight up to where the creature stood as there was no other way. It did not move and we looked up at it towering above us giddily. Behind it were hundreds of small stumpy brown trees, all with eyes. They did not move either and we made our way hurriedly through them.
Last bit was very vivid indeed, particularly splashing of rain on road and feeling of cold and wet, as we were soaked.

In a dark and foul tavern, many people dressed wretchedly are eating foul smelling dishes of food. They look animalistic in my eyes,
and all seem to have lots of facial hair. There is a thin mist in the tavern of either cold or cooking smoke from the fire, it is unpleasant and damp. We are being offered to sit and join these people for food but are repelled, one even begins to be sick from copious amounts of ale. Evidently not a five star establishment, we leave.

I guess there is a lot that disgusts me about myself and I try to hide from, and be higher than, but it is still there, part of me.

At school a child came up to me and hugged me. They would not let go. Then along came a social worker and told me I had been chosen as a substitute father, as the child's father had had a breakdown.
I went to the child's house and found that the father had made a few mistakes that had attracted the attention of the authorities.
The house looked pristine, and much nicer than mine, lol. It was open plan, with a white kitchen table with some photocopied notes on it. The father had apparently stapled they're lesson plans to the child's homework (they were also a teacher Oo).
It all started getting really weird and I got freaked out after that, feeling obviously I shouldn't be there and wtf would this happen to me also.

Spoiler for Substitute husband:

Wife came home and it all get way out of hand. It appeared I was taking on the role in more ways than one. She started giving me a blowjob, right there in the kitchen. It was all very wrong Oo.
Then the social worker comes through the door, and we scrabble to clean up. LMAO.

D1 - In a large house with sprawling corridors, like a hotel, all is dark. My daughter is a baby in her bed. I go to check on her and the scene suddenly changes to very tense. I find a giant rat, its head is bigger than mine, about twice the size and its is about to bite my throat. It is looking at me and I am willing it not to attack. I notice that in the doorway, there are horrible spidery grubbs that are clustered there, some dropping down. I pull a large blade out of nowhere and am hesitating whether to stab the rat which is poised to attack. We are eyeball to eyeball.

D2 - Helping someone to write a document on computer, I give them the correct filename it is 16 digits long, lol, a code. There are a series of many documents with a similar code that need to be entered?

D3 - I am in a horrible appartment, with a sofa in the kitchen area. There is a cover thrown over it as someone has been sleeping on it.
A large burly man with a bald head, is after me for something, not sure might be debts. I run out of kitchen and down a corridor. The corridor has a zillion identical looking doors. I take the one on the end and hide in there and find a large mallet with a long handle. I lay in wait for the man.

D1 - I having been persuaded or decided that it is my responsibility, I am standing outside a hall for group functions and parties etc.
It is dark and looks like it might rain, I am standing wearing a t-shirt and nothing else. In my hand is a tray, with a large cake on that has been sliced, I am to offer this to people as they pass by.
I then realise that information on next years positions has been posted inside and go to enter. There is suddenly a melee of hundreds of people all coming out at the same time. I am again swimming against the current and making no progress. I have been told I have been given a position I want least.

D2 - In a classroom with very large students, secondary? They are all sitting on high stools at narrow bar like tables. This excentuates how short I am in comparision. They are a tough class I can feel and I am apprehensive of how things will go. At this point their teacher turns up, they are annoyed as though I have spoiled their game.
The teacher is a short haired, blond lady with glasses. She beckons her teacher's pet to come over to her, he towers over her so she askes him to kneel, bringing him to her height LOL they take their roles and act out the usual smiley niceties.

D3 - In a dark room, with a large furnace like machine, two very odd chemists are making booze. There are loads of small fuzzy creatures, like coconuts with eyes. The chemists are also strange creatures but much larger. They compiserate with me, drinking heavily.

Lots of syncs corresponding to something in my dream, so I don't know whether it also symbolises something else, probably

D1 - I am at my parents house all is dark, its a wintry morning. I'm wearing a quilted jacket and am in their kitchen then locking up before I go out. I am scared of something unseen a presence/feeling. I double back and check they are a sleep. They're door is closed signifiying they are still a sleep.
I take a small steel key to lock the back door, I feel the cold of the key against my fingers and fiddle with the lock, checking and re-checking. This action is slowly waking me up in the dream. As I feel vague stirrings of my consciousness, as if a mist is lifting or becoming less foggy headed.
Outside the ground is frozen with a light snow. In the distance I can see children surrounding two cats that appear to be fighting.
I preceive that the childtren are in some way encouraging or in some way to blame for the fighting.
The cats are jumping into the air as they fly at each other.
Two of the children walk in my direction, I am scared and angry at the same time.
I finally realise it is a dream, and say to myself are i'm dreaming. I wonder what to do and can think of nothing except to release my pent up emotion by kicking one of the children up the butt.
The other child has a funny blue and white, thick woolen jumper and matching woolley hat. He has long fair hair and looks on bemusedly.
I remember that I need to stabalise and rub my hands frantically together but then I wake up.

[Comment]
The action of touching the key in the dream clearly triggered my surfacing from the normal dream state.

D2 - Long dream where I am working with another teacher in a large lecture threatre, preparing stuff for later. I am interrupted by a manager who askes where a painting has gone missing. I pretend to look for it, in the hope she'll go away.
Similarly, I try and escape from an office later on some pretext or other in the hope of not being found out.
