I was dreaming that me and two woman were exploring an exoplanet with mostly water and we were climbing on some rock trying to find our way across. There was no life on the rock but in the water I spotted a lot of different sized fish. I became very excited and let her know. eventually we became aware of some other living thing that could potentially be a apex predator and then I woke up.

This was a fun non-lucid dream.

My recall begins as I am hosting a party in Las Vegas for some old friends. We've set up a private game of blackjack. After a while, someone gets upset and accuses the blackjack dealer of cheating. They look to me to resolve the issue. I say it shouldn't matter because no one was gambling with real money. But it turns out my friends were.

I restart the party. But now, it seems to be like a computer game, controlled through a screen interface. The object of the game is to host a successful party, which mostly means giving away free drinks from a beer keg. The first few game levels are short and each adds a new element. I finish the first few. Now, in addition to drinks, I can offer appetizers and set up attractions like a blackjack table.

But after a few levels, I get stuck. I realize that an important wrinkle to the game is to arrange the attractions around the venue so that people can move freely. If too many partygoers get stuck tying to get through a door or waiting for a drink, they lose interest and leave. Now learning this, I decide to start over from the beginning and plan the layout of each party better.

Everything restarts once again. But now, it seems I am hosting each party in person, not via a computer screen. It's still a game though, and I play through a few levels as before, but with better planning that leads to higher satisfaction for the guests. The levels jump around from Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco. For each level, I marvel at the outdoor views of the city. I appreciate the amount of detail that went into simulating each city. But after a few levels, I learn that this "game" is played in the real world. It's not a simulation. The cities are real; that's why the views look so accurate. The guests are real people and they choose to participate in the game mostly for the free drinks, but also to meet celebrities. That's a new element introduced in the later levels. You can invite celebrities, but they have more demanding needs to accommodate. And so, the game builds on its complexity.

The game is getting harder, but not more fun. It's increasingly about pleasing the celebrities. And since they are real, they have ulterior motives for participating in my game. They want women and drugs and easy money by cheating at the gambling games. And they'll ruin the party for others at the slightest slight. I start to regret getting involved in the first place.

2.18.16

5am-1pm shift yesterday. Nap most of the afternoon and night. Dream recalled just before 4am.

(This one was few days ago: I'm on some tour in North Korea. We walk around and have some meals. The tour guide is suspucious of me because apparently that is my second consecutive tour and they think I'm a spy)

Today:
DR 1:
I am living on a top floor of a scryscraper. Some residents are talking in a hallway about safety. Somehow we find out that they cut corners while building the structure and someone said they inspected the part that is still under construction and there are parts of walls and support structures missing. The building can crumble at any moment. I feel the urgency and me and my mom start packing.

We make it to the ground. I look up at the cloudy night sky and I can see the unfinished part of the building starts to shake and buckle. I yell "look it's coming down" and parts of it are starting to rain down. I see people holding on to it while falling. Now I am one of the falling ones. We ar really high up and I'm liking it. My stomach starts to feel like on a roller coaster and I'm enjoying the fall. I wonder if I will finally hit the ground, as I never do in any of my lucid falls (this was non-lucid).

There was lot more details in the building and on the ground before and after this, but they are all so vague.

I'm talking to someone, I think it's AURON. Looking at some readouts from my dream stats. There is one line of text in blue, looking like a URL link. I say "oh ok, it's blue, looks like I was lucid then, when I "went" to fall with others, because I love falling."

DR 2:

There is a body of water with some monster keeping hostages on some floating structure. The traffic is closed off nearby so police can take care of this.

I'm sitting in a huge orange/yellow construction truck and I aim it straight down an almost vertical slope heading for the water. Some of my friends does some magic and makes the slope slippery with snow and ice. I gun it and drive the truck in the water. I poke a tiny needle hole into the monster and he slowly deflates.

DR 3:

I'm at the airport carrying people in my cab. With another cabbie we decide to take some passenger and his luggage.

North Korea got tricked into making Kim Jong un not president and someone else became president and killed Kim jong un

We moved into the house next to ours and new people moved into our old house and it was dark outside and in the new house there was like a big black wall of blanket, I also remember standing on my road looking at my house from an angle

Lucid dream finally!!

I was on the steps of my house, I couldn't see anything but I knew I was dreaming, I instantly started to be aware of my surroundings and my dream became visible and vivid, I started walking down my road and this time it was night, I thought of someone to appear and when I did my head kept turning uncontrollably but it went back to normal, I soon got onto the main road and I was just walking enjoying the lucid dream, idk why but I enjoy walking sometimes.

That's all I remember but here are details
-I remember walking with my friend and we were trying to make it look light out
-the sky was blacker than usual at night
-the road was kinda distorted
-I seen weird stars

I had this one during a morning nap of 50 minutes.
It was a WILD inducted LD. Infact I was observing all the images that come across my mind in that land between the wake state and the sleep. In all the process I tryed to keep the vision of the my mantra (Am I dreaming?) on the background.
At a certain point I felt like a fracture in all my being and suddenly my legs were hovering over my body. I did a reality check, that one of the hands, and then followed my legs in the air.
It was difficult to detach myself from this vision, this situation. Finally I got out of the room and met some OP who didn't seem surprised in seeing me flying around as a baloon. Nothing seemed to be interesting so I passed through the walls (i know how to do that by now) and got out of those places that seemed too constricted to me.
But then my alarm clock went off and I found myself on the bed.

I have to say that this experience was less exiting of the first one, that was a DILD LD.
Maybe the fact that I found myself in my own room wasn't actually so emotional and different from the wake reality and I don't know yet how to change the scenery of the dream world....
Anyway.... I had a prove that everything about LD is true.

I was in school. It was a lesson with our new teacher - a short, slim blonde in late thirties. She had a bit ugly face. She told to me about some kind of poster with my picture that was popular. I didn't knew what she was talking about.

Later that day I was in home, and saw that teacher in my sister's room. She was browsing the web. I asked her about that poster, and she said that everyone asked who I am and that I looked great on it. I asked if someone posted it on the web, but she said that no.

I went to talk with my younger sister. She was writing something. We take until our mother appeared. I realized that everyone in this room was naked, so I went to take some clothes. I went to toilet, and after a while all the family joined me there for some reason.

So I'm in third person point of view, viewing an old woman who is hook up to a lot of stuff that I assume life support. I think she just died as people bring candles and things. I zone out of this scenario and see superman getting beaten up by someone I don't know. As superman drifts to unconsciousness the dream changes again. Everything reappears and I become more aware that I am dreaming. I open a door since nothing else would appear and see superman and wonderwoman tied up in a chair. They both had their eyes covered up. I make an attempt to untie both of them but some guy punch me from behind. I am no longer lucid. Lucidity Time: 1 minute

1) It feels like Victorian times. I'm stitching up a corpse ready for burial doing a complicated suture up the chest. I'm in an old stone building. At one point a woman is watching me, she's been watching me for a while so I follow her and eventually see her face, I'm satisfied that she is nothing to worry about as she disappears through a door. I'm back to sewing up the corpse - I certified him dead, but then I see his face move and realise I got it wrong and he is actually still alive.
From here the dream becomes a nightmare. The corpse vanishes and I feel an evil presence behind me as if he has come back from the dead and start to feel very afraid. I tell myself it's a nightmare and that I have to face it (I'm not lucid but some sort of memory about facing your fears in a dream) and it's not real. Then I wake up. AT LAST A HINT OF LUCIDITY?!?!

2) I knock a pint of beer onto myself whilst seated at a table. My immediate thought is 'who did that?' then I realise it was myself. Then I have walked to a different location and I find myself talking to a woman about the spilt drink as if her child had spilt it over me and saying it's ok. Looking behind her I see a glass screen and realise that we are at a holiday camp and I tell her that we aren't here this year but have booked to come for a whole week next year.

3) Another dream - I woke up after and remembered it well but didn't write any reminders down! All forgotten now.

4) I'm in a queue with 2 female characters (?family) and we are waiting to have XRays taken. A woman is stood at a desk checking us in, collecting valuables and shoes. Eventually it's my turn. I ask her if I need to hand in my watch and she decides that I should so I give her my watch and shoes. She calls a doctor, we go together to a really bright airy carpeted room. I have a pot plant with me and explain that it's not well and I thought I should get it looked at. I give him the pot plant it's covered in a plastic bag with insects all over it. He puts the pot plant on the floor and gets ready to Xray it.

5) In my old consulting room chatting to a patient. He is telling me about a good new garden centre. I find myself explaining in detail why I won't be going there because I don't work here any more. I remember looking around the room seeing a lot of detail and having a very detailed discussion.

Highway
I'm driving a car in the Netherlands, somewhere at the edge of Amsterdam, going up to a highway. It's starting to rain quite heavily. I swerve a little bit because I wanted to move right towards the run up a bit too early, crossing a line. I move back to my own lane but a few seconds later I already have to move right again to go onto the highway. At first everything is fine, but then there is oncoming traffic. I appear to be headed in the opposite direction, though it doesn't cross my mind that it's my wrong doing. I stay on the left side, as the approaching vehicles are using the right lanes.

Fragment
> I'm with a group of people. We seem to all be sitting on a bunkbed. Someone is standing in front of it and is asking us a question as if this was a lecture. It's about the warning system for extreme weather. No one seems to know the answer. I know I know the answer, but I can't think of the correct word in English for the name of the system, though I know its workings. Matter of fact, I can't even think of the correct name in Dutch.

> There's something with a sort of library where I stayed for a few hours. I walk out of there, laptop in hand, but I gotta pay a type of parking fee. That fee seems to be in the range of 80 - 90 something (not sure which currency). It's a really high amount.

Expensive Chinese
I'm in the Chinese restaurant near work. The waitress comes by, gives me my check, and asks me to take care of it, then moves away. I go to the cash register, but no one is behind the counter. I wonder if by 'take care of it' she means I'm supposed to use the register myself to charge myself before leaving. I look at the receipt and am astounded to see that it's costing nearly $25 dollars for my lunch - I normally end up paying about $10 when I come to this place! I look over the receipt to see why it's so expensive and see that the meal itself cost $14 - surprisingly high - and my request to change the kind of noodle I got raised the price by another $10! That's crazy. I look around for a menu to see the prices, but I don't see one anywhere. I check the counter near the cash register to see if there are any take-out menus, and there are. I grab one and look over it, but I don't see anything about a cost for requesting changes.


Too many lefts
I'm in a parking lot in a commercial area, and I'm standing by my car. I'm thinking about how to get to my next stop and am unhappy that the best way to do it is to make a left out from here, a left at the corner, a left at the next corner, and a left into the next parking lot. I hate left turns, especially in crowded areas like this (downtown somewhere). I realize that there are no roads crossing between where I am now and where I'm going, and it's not that far, so I decide just to walk.


Saving Roland
I'm playing a game. Somehow it feels like a first-person shooter, though my perspective is actually from over head. I get a transmission from Roland asking for my urgent assistance. Sure enough, by the time I get to him, he's already dead. I don't know if that's a scripted event or because I took too long, so I restart the section. This time, I hurry to him and arrive in time to save him, but a sniper ends up killing me. I try again, this time arriving in time to save him and managing not to get shot. I take him with me as we circle a large warehouse-like building, eventually returning to near where I started.


Borrowing tools
I'm doing yard work at my house, and I've walked over to ask my neighbors for a 'chop chop.' Their whole family - both parents and their daughter - is out front, and I end up talking to them for a few minutes. They moved in fairly recently and I haven't spoken to them much, though in the past they did offer that I could borrow tools from them any time I needed to. They have a vaguely foreign look to them, though I can't peg where they're from.


Costco renewal
I'm at Costco getting ready to check out, and I know that my membership will need to be renewed soon. I notice that one of the membership people has put a yellow folder onto the checkout counter and know that it's my account info. Sure enough, the cashier adds the new membership to my bill, which boosts an already-high bill even higher. After paying with my Amex, he immediately tosses the credit card into a burn bin since I'll be getting a replacement card soon. I'm not happy: that's the card I use day-to-day, and 'soon' isn't 'now.' It's one of those trash cans that's only got a slit on top, so there's no way to get the card back out.

Now I'm filling out the paperwork for the renewed membership. There are lots of name fields, and I start off by putting down my name, my wife's name, and my online handle. I realize that last one isn't appropriate for this kind of thing, so I erase it. I wonder if I'm supposed to put all my kids' names on the form, but that doesn't make sense for a shopping card when they're so young. I look at the back of the form and see a different grid. I wonder if I'm only supposed to fill out one of the two sections. The instructions are very unclear.


Fragments
I'm watching a couple sitting at a large event in Brazil. Some fireworks are being set off, and I see a rocket whiz past their heads.

I'm leading my family and the T's kids through a maze of hallways with moving sidewalks. Later we're outside.

18/2/16:
Dream 1: For some reason I decided in the night to try to apply for theatre school. I went on their website and opened up the application form, but there were a whole heap of questions about Shakespeare like which play was this certain helmet used in or whatever so I gave up and went out to the kitchen and got a drink.

Dream 2: I was eating dinner and then I unpacked the dishwasher, for some reason there was a yellowed newspaper rolled up in their. I asked my mum why that was in there and she said she was using the dishwasher to get the plastic off of old newspapers. I didn't understand but didn't care lol.

Dream 3: I was walking near a train station when the boom gates went down, except no train had come after about 20 seconds. Some cars started driving around them, but I was yelling at them not to as a train was coming. There was something about a wild monkey appearing.

Fragment about a fight.

The dream started at my house while I watched TV, I remember the show was sort of like daytime tv or something, but then I looked at my phone and saw I was late for an event, and checked the phone again and it clearly displayed the time being 7:02. I couldn't believe I was actually so late, so I pinched my nose and tried to breathe through it, and when I did I freaked out and weaves my hands together to see if it would look normal but my fingers were twisted together and I went lucid. Immediately I ran outside and looked up at the sky because I remembered the monthly challenge. In the sky I saw clouds shaped like narwhales and Aquaman, and suddenly there was a Stingray floating in front of me. I was then seeing if I could create a ladder because in the dream I needed one. After a bunch of other furniture floated in around me, suddenly it turned transparent and wasn't solid, and doctors were all around me telling me I was going crazy and that I was just imagining I was creating this furniture. I woke up after that.

When I went back to sleep, I lose lucidity and find myself in a classroom teaching some sort of art class with my friends, but I'm late and decide to not take the class. I then leave the room with my friends and we are talking about movies.

The dream began when i was walking near some pond or lake.. i saw like maybe 6m long and very thin snake.. it was black and it did not look really dangerous. While i was watching her.. she springed herself.. jumped 15m into the water, grabbed something and sprung back.. i was like.. whaatt? Later i was searching for this snake with somebody else, i was trying to show it to this person. But instead we have found another snake.. a big one! it looked like a 25m long anaconda. The snake just opened her eyes and saw us looking at her. We said to ourselves "maybe it is better to leave this place" and not until now we have found out that there were a million snakes around us. From big ones to the smallest. All the place was just covered with snakes.. what we thought it was the grass.. well it wasnt. It was millions of little snakes that were shaped like grass.. we started to run away from this place..
But the big anaconda had her plans as well.. she started to chase us. The terrain was covered with mud it was a swamp.. so it was hard to run. The other guy was faster than me.. he disappeared quickly. And the anaconda was getting closer and closer.. i tried to go faster but i could not. I looked back a few times and it got clear, that she will get me.. soon.. i still tried to run and i was thinking.. "ooh.. if I only had a knife with me" While running i searched my pants pockets and i found one.. it was not the biggest hunting knife i was hoping to find.. it was a swiss pocket knife.. well, better than nothing. I picked the biggest blade it had to offer.. looked back.. and stopped. The snake went for my leg.. her head was huge and she bit my whole leg! But funny thing was, that i was super calm! at the moment she bit my leg.. i just hammered my knife into her head. I broke her skull and she was killed with a single blow.. well it was a really hard hit. I decapitated the snake.. took her head and went home.. to warn the others about this place..
