sitcom like dream with 2 kids. setting is a large open kitchen with light orange/yellow wood and fluorescent light behind translucent white panels and plenty of daylight. one kid is expecting the other to come in and pour some milk. he and his female friend are already drinking milk. it seems like he expects the other kid to pour the remainder of the milk from a glass measuring cup into his glass cup only to realize that there is too much and his cup is overflowing. but when he goes to pour it, the first kid pulls away the now glass jar of milk with a string that is attached to his hand while he sits across from the table.

I wake

it's been a long while since i've actively tried to lucid dream. the last couple years have been a bit of a blur, as i was in a dark place. I can recall becoming lucid in a few dreams from the fewer i ever recalled having. pot wasnt very conducive to my memory.

i've been trying the last three days to induce a lucid and i managed to incubate it enough to have one today

dream
lucid

i'm taking a nap but i wake up only to find im in my van. wait, i didn't go to sleep in a van.
here we go.
i decide to take flight, but upon gaining lucidity my vision goes and i can't see anything. i can feel myself vibrate as i ascend through the van's roof. everything is still black and doesnt seem like its going to change so

i wake up

i guess i forgot to try stabilizing, maybe that would have helped.

i go back to sleep only to have a couple non lucid dreams that i don't recall

I decide to take a nap after work

I wake up and remember one eerie-ass dream @@

There is a large family of brunettes, of which I am a part of. We are at a restaurant with dim lighting and a dark oak/wood finish theme. It looks fancy. Only part of the family is seated at this table with me: a brother, sister, and baby brother. The table is located right beside the kitchen doors and all night we are hearing an argument, possibly between a dishwasher and a waiter. The fight is loud and unnerving. Nearing the end of this argument, my brother picks up my baby brother and walks over to the kitchen doors, opens them, and walks in. This brother has a droopy appearance. Overweight, patchy stubble, thick bottom lip, dark circles around his eyes, greasy shoulder length hair.
I hear yelling, a blender, and then silence.
Of course my sister and I are in disbelief that anything would have actually happened, but out of fear I grab a metal mug and stand to the side of the door, waiting. The brother walks out. We make eye contact for a brief second, which seems like a frozen eternity, and I know what has happened. The brother walks away. Completely mortified, my sister and I are frozen in silence.
The parents join the table, along with some other relatives. The mother is slim, short, and has curly brown hair - this is where it gets hazy - The parents tell him to put "it" upstairs. They dont explicitly say what, but I assume it's the baby puree. The room they specify is known by the family to be unused because of some haunting or supernatural reason.

Psychic Girl

A black girl falls asleep on a couch on top of some nut which she crushes. When she awakes, she is on set of a studio for a talk show and she has developed psychic powers.

Adventures in Korea

I am in Korea with my friend J. We are in an area on the way down from the main street to the subway.
In this area there are two entrances for washrooms at one wall and right across from this are the stairs going up to the surface, which change direction to the right half way up. To the left of the washrooms are the stairs down to the subway. The women's room is on the left and the men's is on the right, located at the corner of this area. The walls and general area have an orange and red color scheme.
We are in front of men's washroom when I decide to launch a fake attack against J. Grabbing her from behind, she lets out a fake scream "Help!"
Then, some douche trying to be a hero, jumps out and starts attacking me. I start to get pissed because I was having fun so I chase this guy up the stairs and wake up.

Everything is cartoon like in appearance and I am just a spectator.

The dream centers around a black guy who has the power of super speed. (no racial) Other people with super powers were also introduced attending the same high school. I could tell that this dream/show would bring together and unlikely group of misfits with supernatural powers.

In a car with some people, one of them is wearing a tight cowl and maybe a mask
then
Fantasy Football
I am riding my bike in my old neighborhood towards my elementary school. I ride up onto the field where we used to play football and to my surprise the field looks much larger and a huge game is going on. The players on the side I am facing appear to be giants or large monsters in regular dress, but the colour scheme is yellow/purple. An alternative rock or indie song is playing in the background with the verse "Give it to me Lola . . .".
I have joined the team of regular people and I try to bring down this huge girl, she must have been 10' tall, in a hoodie, shorts and hat, all of which are purple and yellow.

then

2 other dreams I didnt record
heh lazy

I'm in a hospital.
The colours are those revolting cream, peach, and off white tones that are always present in hospitals and old folks homes. There is a grandmother, not my own in real life but i feel as if I am her granddaughter or grandson. She is an old white haired woman. Her husband passed away some time ago and she seems to have unstable alzheimer's, as she occasionally remembers where she is and what time she's in. This is almost a tear jerker for me.
She is in for an operation. She carries with her her late husband's hats as comfort. She wears one hat and refuses to take it off, or swaps them; when she remembers where she is, she places the hats back, knowing that he is gone.

I'm at what seems to be a carnival or a theme park with these 2 girls, one of which is blonde and the other my friend A, and my friend H. Some graphic moments (and details I will not write down) later I wake up... that was weird

Didnt remember much, I have jotted down "alcohol impaired?" so i guess I was drinking that night

I'm shaving. Some girl tells me that I've missed a spot near my nostril. I find this sort of embarrassing

I've joined an art class. The class is located in a 'portable', the same ones that were used in my elementary and junior high school. All the chairs and desks are cleared from the middle of the room.
We are painting with water colour and stencils. Somehow i know there is an online forum for the students to compare pictures and help choose projects.
The instructor is a tall eccentric guy with some raving red cargo pants and disheveled brown hair.

I am with a group of friends, but I dont recognize most of them. Two are my friends H and G. Our group is in this big house and we are making home made videos of 'what if something happened and only one of us lived' sort of thing. My take on this was comedic and involved acted necrophilia (this was weird) One of the female friends I can recall is a shorter girl with glasses and light red/blonde straight hair. I think we were in a pool.
H and I watch the video we made in the house's steam room. The video has an extra clip done in flash or MS paint about my friend G. Two white guys walk into the room, one is an old friend, and they play their video which is them eating melting chocolate to some symphonic metal german song about chocolate. He tells me it's funny because it looks like they're eating poop...
Wake up, record, back to sleep
I meet my elementary school friend A. I think we are in his room. Everything is vibrant in colour.

Most fragments I could remember upon waking I was too lazy to record

I'm sitting in the passenger seat of an old yellow car. My sister is driving in a large and mostly empty parking lot and she pulls up along a wall on the left side just close enough that I can not open my door. On the other side of this wall is a large freeway with overhead advertising signs.

june 29 - second night of practicing dream recall

awake
thoughts
dreams

It's around 9 and I have my headphones in; sleeping in the living room
I wake around 11:45 and try recalling any dreams. I rewind the song to just before I woke and listen.
I remember something about Spock. I know this wasn't the main focus of the dream, but this is all I can recall.
I decide to head back to sleep...

My sister has just come home and I wake and check out the clock; it's around 11:55. Damnit and I had just gotten to sleep. I dont expect to recall anything from 10minutes of sleep. Then it hits me. I dont know if it was from earlier that night, or actually within the 10

I'm having dinner with friends. I have never seen any of them, but I know that we are good friends. There are maybe 6 of us. There is this one, beautiful red headed girl with long wavy hair. I think she had some crazy piercings and a plug on one side.
the lot of us get up to leave and I realize that all the tables in the restaurant are empty, save for personal belongings. I walk over to a table and check through a purse. Along the walls there are booth seats; this is where all the diners from the tables went. Everyone is dressed formally and I just realized I went through some lady's purse as she's staring at me. We continue out of the restaurant...
...skip...
...for some reason our group is lurking around the hedges out front of the restaurant. this is all very alice in wonderland. We come across some cavernous areas leading to an ice covered passageway. I ride it down like a slide...
I wind up in some tropical area enclosed by a mountainous range. The dream is now a sort of game that I am playing where I have to save these native villagers from something. I'm failing hard at this game.
This is where the dream ends. I close my eyes and go back to sleep

I'm at the local university, but my computer station from work is there. My friend wants the code to log on. I decline and he leaves.
I log on and suddenly my monitor is displaying some forum about downloads and my friend wants help with it
Wake
back to sleep
I show up late to a chinese restaurant. An old group of friends is waiting for me. My larger friend orders a bunch of those Red Lobster biscuits. This is great. Wait, why do they even have these..?
Wake

well, that was odd
but i'd say an awfully good start

I am going to try some B6 tonight and see how that goes
