Back for another try at Lucid Dreaming, so time to do some dream journaling again...

It's taken me a few nights to be able to remember anything at all, at last I can recall some details of last nights dreams.

I'm with someone else, doing some sort of pre-hospital medical care, but my medical bag is old and there's not much in it. I'm at my second casualty and he needs an IV drip. I get a line in but all the fluids and connectors have been used before but I have to use something so I find a bag half full of fluids - it's saline so I connect it and flush it through, there's a lot of air in the system because nothing fits, then I realise it's an odd hypotonic saline solution and stop it flowing. It's a mess.

It's the weekend and I'm at work, I can't remember too much I'm sat at a desk and a paramedic walks in and apologises for not doing too much work he was busy with something personal, I say it's ok it's not very busy anyway, I'm writing something, and we decide it's time for a break. There are several other doctor's also having a break, we talk about what are the best consulting rooms to work in.

I'm seeing patients and I decide one man needs a hole cutting into his chest, so we draw a template together. The hole is quite big, next thing we are out somewhere checking if the hole on the template is big enough, and there are several soft toys we have to make sure it's big enough for them to fit through. Then I'm getting ready to make the hole and I realise that it's way too big and it's right over the heart, and I start questioning why I'm making a big hole in someone's chest.

Now this dream had a seriously weird start. I think there was something happening before I got lucid but I don't remember it.

I was in some kinda camp close to a small creek. There were tents and some structures which I guess were placed to dry clothes or so. I had some self made "arsenic meat" with me, it was in an aluminum pot and was essentially raw meat in a clear liquid that consisted mostly or to some degree of arsenic. It smelled abhorrently chemical and I know that I accessed a Wikipedia page on arsenic via some kind of direct neural interface, no intermediate electronic device needed. On the page it talked about its psychoactive properties (not existent in real life as far as I can tell). Either I ate a piece of that or the smell alone was enough to induce said effects and I experienced visual distortions and some degree of control over these. That promptly made me lucid.

Spoiler for TL;DR: I had sex with my wife:

Though I became lucid I didn't really remember my goals or anything, instead I instinctively summoned my wife and had some forceful but pleasant sex with her, it was way shorter than in real life only a few minutes. And we were in an impossible position too. The sensation caused me to have a wet dream as well...

After that I had a FA but I did not wake up. I was in my home, and for once it was spectacularly close to my actual home, only minor details like color were off which is super rare. I was standing in the bathtub and was fiddling with a tarp that had seemingly become dirty when my wife and me had fun. I had also worried about my wife getting pregnant since we didn't use any contraception. And the tarp was mostly in the toilet... the weirdness of it all snaps me back into lucidity, I do the nose pinch RC. I go onto the bed in my bedroom, and my wife was also there, talking about something. I know I half consciously listened but since I knew it was DC I didn't pay it too much attention. I thought about trying shared dreaming but ultimately didn't try.

I jumped outside, I'm pretty sure from my balcony. I look at the sky and... it's obviously bright day from all my surroundings yet it's actually night in the sky, it's black and I see the stars.
(I only saw it in the dream but found it weird after I woke up and thought about it, this mix between night and day at the same time is new to me.)
I thought about flying up but didn't want to spent too much time in a black void, so I improvised and filled the space partially with a beautiful green nebula, it worked quite spectacularly. I fly up into the sky, aiming at the border of the nebula. I was rather disappointed to see that the night sky was only a texture several kilometers above the planet. Instead of fixing it I turn back towards earth and spin it around to take a trip to Japan. It takes me a moment to find it, and it's not a normal earth globe either but I managed. The globe was... it was still a perfect sphere and the countries had roughly the right shape but it was vastly scaled down, so that each country was only barely a large city. I entered Japan on the east in some kind of harbor and went westwards into an industrial area. I remember seeing some soldiers and then I used a weird high precision zoom interface to inspect my surroundings. I see some products and wares and eventually find and pick up a lead-pouring game, you know that Sylvester tradition thingy. Right then I'm violently yanked out of the dream and wake up.

And incidentally I realize I had this dream right on time to finish my first TotM (I had this dream only hours into February), and I didn't know the task by then either.

No dreams from last night, since I only slept for like 4 hours. Did get a nap in, however.

I immediately WILD into the dream. I'm in the main building for classes at my college. My parents and brother are here, and we’re in a long hallway. My brother is walking somewhat ahead of me, and my parents are way behind me. I notice I’m just kind of floating down the hallway, which feels pretty cool. My dad shouts something for me to tell my brother, but I can’t hear him. Besides, I’m lucid, might as well do some things. I mainly just enjoy flying around a bit, while this random woman follows me around, asking if I want to join her in private. “Not until I get some tasks done first.” (*pats dream self on the head* Good boy)

I decide to start with the basic task - look up at the sky. I see this room off to the side that looks almost like a cockpit to a plane, with a huge control panel against the wall. The windows are huge, so I go in and look outside. The sky looks an incredible shade of blue, with several clouds that look almost copied-and-pasted across the sky - it reminds me of the wallpaper in Andy’s room in Toy Story. The horizon starts to turn orange - the sun is rising. However, I can’t shake this weird feeling that something hilarious is gonna happen. Sure enough, as the yellow circle rises up, inside is Michael Jackson dancing to Beat It, with all his backup dancers barely visible in the background. Immediately I can hear the music start up, and I find it funny. Before I even realize what’s happening, I’m dancing along with the music, doing pretty much all the choreography from the music video. (*smacks dream self on the back of the head* Dude, what the heck?)

As I do this one spin move, I realize that I should get back to doing stuff, so I instead continue to spin a bit to stabilize the dream. Unfortunately, it seems to have the opposite effect, and I wake up. I almost manage to DEILD back into it, but my roommate decided to watch YouTube videos on his big speakers, which jolted me awake when they fired up.

Kind of a fragment to start off. I am at a fancy Taco Bell, but I can't decide what I want off the menu, which makes the manager really angry for some reason.

Next, I'm at a band concert at my old high school, with my old band director leading the band. I'm in the audience with the rest of the students, who seem incredibly uninterested in the concert - they're even taking while the music is playing. Speaking of music, the band's sound is mainly done from an audio recording, and the actual band is just playing over it - the band version of “lip-syncing”. I give up on paying attention, and start a conversation with one of my friends next to me, at one point talking about DreamViews. The song finally ends, and the director says a few words. During this, there's some glitch in time, and I go back like 10 seconds, listening to him say the same words again. He even notices me do it, and after his words catch up to where he was, he laughs that I just had to experience it a second time.

I had a time slot to take a nap after my first class, so I did. I WILDed into my dorm room, and jump down from my bed. I try to plug my nose and do an RC - it kinda works, but my nose is really clogged with snot, almost like I’m sick. However, it’s good enough, so I continue. I try to think of one of the TotMs, but I can't quite remember. I figure one has something to do with a DC, so I expect my roommate to walk in the door. I open the door, and both roommates walk in and immediately jump in their beds. I for some reason decide to tell them I'm dreaming, but they don't seem interested. I try flying to convince them, but I can't quite stay up in the air, despite the assist from our rug in the middle of the room, which is acting like a trampoline. I end up bouncing until I wake up.

I end up DEILDing after what seems like a long time for a DEILD. I currently don't remember exactly where I am, but my boss is here, so I assume I am at work. I try to think of the tasks again, and for some reason remember that one of them is to eat a banana… So I go to the break room and get a banana, peel it, and eat it. Well that was easy. I wake up shortly after, upon which I wonder where I ever got the idea to eat a banana…

I am super sorry for all the late entries. They will probably always be a few days late on the weekends, or when I am on trips.
I was coming back from a short day trip yesterday, and fell asleep in their at about 10:00. I woke up at maybe 10:30 to have a soda and muddy buddy break. I went back to sleep at probably 10:30, and got back home at 1:00 after being disrupted multiple times. I tried to use that as a wbtb, but I didn't try very hard. My hectic night resulted in the worst dream recall ever. All I remember is being in Iowa and seeing different political candidates.

I am looking pictures of bettas online. I find a picture that looks like mine but then realize that it doesn't look like my at all.
I am knocking on peoples doors and find myself in somebody's house. Dear basement is Rusty, concrete, and full of water. I walked into it to grab my Eos and ice breakers.
I go into a hot tub with a man in it. Another man(husband?) comes up behind me and gets angry at me.
I am in orchestra class. My orchestra teacher s giving out thank you notes to people who gave him Christmas presents. He doesn't give one to me which makes me mad. Then I start making jokes, and a girl I absolutely DETEST starts giving credit to another girl for them. That makes me even madder.

I am walking on my neighbor's lawn. I see a guy from a commercial and wonder if I should get his autograph. I walk into my neighbors house and see my brother. He is supposed to watch their dogs, but he doesn't want to. I tell him that I can but I really don't want to. (I don't tell him that I do n't want to.) Their two dogs are eating popcorn from a bowl and I want some.
I am walking in the school hallways but they are wider and empty. I walk into the literacy room with my parents for parent teacher conferences.
A teacher is questioning a sort of stupid boy why he got nothing wring on the past few tests. He says that he didn't cheat, and the teachers believe him. The teachers tell him that when he gets married, his babies will be very smart.

My family and I have moved to a new house. My sister and is still share a bunk bed, batt for some reason the too bunk isn't even high off the ground. I open the shades in the room to make it lighter, and turn on a lamp. The lamp then breaks.
I am in Spanish class and we are making models of different places and events such as the colloseum and men in the revolutionary war. The bell rings when we are still working on the models and I am annoyed at the teacher for not giving us time to clean up.
Me and my dad are walking down a street. My dad walks up to a person and tells him that we are going to save a baby today. The man is let down by this.
I am looking at my betta in her tank, noticing how there are no sides to he tank, and wondering how the water stays in. I pour some water into the tank, and it stays in.
I leave my house to catch a plane two minute before it takes off.
I am in my school gym and I see someone that looks like Annie from Bratayley. I tell my friend about the girl, and follow the girl around a bit mor. I notice that her hair is too light to be Annie.

From what I remember, it was me and about 15 people running around with desktop computers at dusk at my old neighborhood and we were attaching antennas to them and hooking into transformer boxes. Then we used an old jeep as a generator and started hacking the power grid until we knocked out power to the whole country. Me and my little army of trouble makers built a fort in the woods and started planning an underground network of sewer bases? TMNT style maybe? Anyway, some hostiles started approaching our wooded base and we all took cover. There was a virus around and everyone was afraid. We found an old black and white television that was playing racist propaganda and I told everyone not to believe it, it was a tool being used to make us all fight each other. A Marine I used to work with told me he was narrating a movie and I said awesome, lets watch it... it turned out to be a cheesy kids cartoon with flying dragons and dinosaurs telling each other fighting formations. I need to lay off the melatonin, it's bringing me nothing but nonsense and zero lucidity.

I'm being moved from a dream to another, hey what is happening? The realization hits me and I scream: "Lucidity!" from the bottom of my lungs. I immediately materialize into the dreamworld and I find myself in and odd large room with the ceiling reaching fifteen meters high. As if it's a station, a station from where you can leave to "nowhere", a "nowhere" that a human couldn't understand. I strongly feel that Iv been here before. The room has some benches by the wall. I don't recall what kind of beings there walked and stood around, but even though they have kind of a human-like features I have a feeling they're something different. Kinda like the shadowy people from Spirited Away but with colors. I do a few reality check such as breathing trough my nose while pinching it firmly. I then try to approach a black man dressed in stylish jacket with large shoulders. He glows with mystery as he calmly stands there by a pillar-looking object. I try to approach him, but I find myself being stopped by two other men. They won't let me go to him, huh. The man in the suit looks at me silently as I turn away. I head outside. I guess the place looks kinda like a mix up of three structures : The Spa from Spirited Away, a church and a train station. There are suddenly tribesmen all around me and their tribe's/dance group's coloring is almost all red. They're dancing around and walking past me. I then concentrate to gravity at the same time as I watch a lower part of the small mountain I'm at. Guess the mountain is only around a hundred meters high.

Gravity pulls me to the lower part. I gaze to the upper mountains across the valley and there's a red beautiful castle on the mountain side. I look at it with wonder and I kinda would want to go there. The middle part of the castle is a little blurry. I then go and sing with the tribe's me and I somehow know the foreign, however simple, lyrics by heart. The music echoes all around the dreamworld. I'm then having difficulties staying in " first person" view, it feels as if my eyes were on the back of my head. After this I'm gradually losing lucidity. I go down under the castle through a short cave to a concrete hallway. I walk through black hanging curtains and enter a dimly lit parking lot. I'm being led by one of my elementary school - time friends and he is now ten years older. I'm not afraid of what's to come if there is to come something weird. The dream hops to a cold room- grocery store. Kinda like the place the Asian man in Blade Runner had where he was doing something with human eyeballs. But not that cold. I look at the other customers that seem to be my friends or something and I realize they don't even exist. I start to think the way they told you not to think about everything in Inception. Everyone turns their head at me. Oops. They charge towards me. Oh hamburgers hahaha. A man orders them to stop and they freeze. Huh? The man is dressed in a relaxed office suit and he looks at me with a semi confident look on his face. He knows Iv been on a long dry spell and I'm nearly getting back to the habit. He knows I'm close.

2/02/16:
Dream 1: Aidan playing age of empires two, me seeing little villagers inside his houses working, being born, dying etc.

Dream 2: I was at a big market place with my brother. I'm not too sure what we were doing there, but we noticed this old Chinese guy following us. Eventually we turned around and asked him what was going on, and he gave us some rice and meat. We ate it and it tasted delicious! We wanted to know why he did this or what this food was, but he walked off and went back to his kitchen. We wondered around a bit and found our friend Gary and asked him what was going on. He said something about a tradition and then he told us the next step was eating jasmine rice, so he gave us a handful to make ourselves. We went off and found a small open fire and then cooked the rice in a little pot over it until it turned a sort of yellowy colour. Gary then came back and gave us some rice he had made earlier, which was much more white. We mixed the two in the same bowl and then I ate some. It tasted amazing and smelt super aromatic! My brother and I finished it off and then we wandered around the market for a bit.

We saw a large Taoist temple with some dancers and monks out the front, and my brother told me something about a legend where children used to be between 7 feet and 9 feet tall. I discounted that as silly until I saw some kids off into the distance who in that height range. I think we then went off trying to find the original guy again but the dream faded.

"Tonight I will remember my dreams. Tonight I will know that I'm dreaming."

Hot wall
I'm in my kitchen microwaving something. Now I'm in the pantry. I notice a strip of oddly-colored wall near the breaker box and take a closer look. I'm concerned that it may be discolored because of heat and put my hand against it to check. Sure enough, it's warm, though it's not hot enough to hurt. Now I notice that there's more color on the wall, and there seems to be a second breaker box. What's that? It turns out to be a copy of the breaker box that someone printed out and stuck to the wall, but now it's curling because of the heat. I'm starting to get really worried here, and I feel around more to see how far the heat goes. Nothing I touch is hot enough to hurt, but I still touch quickly and carefully in case a spot is actually really hot. Everything is merely warm, and it actually seems to be cooling down. I try to think if there's a way I can open up the wall to let it cool, but I can't think how.

Now the wall is half-height, and I've already removed the top. It turns out there was already a fan blowing into the space inside the wall, and without the top on a bunch of saw dust comes blowing out. My kids and the T family's kids are playing nearby, so I turn off the fan so they're not all breathing in sawdust. I'm surprised to see that it's actually our little space heater set to fan mode. Why did I use this? Weird.

Now the wall is down to just studs, and I'm looking through it to some unfinished construction behind. I'd forgotten that that room was back there. I'll have to finish that one of these days.

Now Frank is at the house, washing something off in the sink. Something strange happens, and I'm annoyed with him.


Game show
I'm watching a game show. From my perspective, I can see a huge audience. The room is dimly lit, but there are spotlights shining from all over towards a circular stage in the middle. In this show, the contestant tries to make an offer to the hosts to see if they'll take it. Donald Trump is one of the hosts. He's sitting in a chair in an observation room behind the wall of the arena looking down at the stage. Trump and another of the hosts completely turn down the competitor who's currently up. A third host works with him a bit. I see Trump press a button which causes his chair to start to descend through what looks like a (very slow) pneumatic tube. Somehow I know that his plan is to make the guy sweat, think that he's out, then pop back up and make a last-minute offer. As he's walking along a tunnel beneath the stage, he somehow gets accosted. Now I see another of the hosts get locked into a room somewhere. Someone very strange is in the room. When the announcer tries to reach them for any last-minute bids, he can't.

Fragment: Some kind of huge helicopter (it's much wider than it is tall) is going on some kind of rescue mission.

I was inside a lab. There was a disaster of some kind that opened way to the Earth for many strange creatures. I entered a dark hall that joined up with warehouses. There was a small room in a container to the right, which opened up to another hallway. I went iside, and met strange, green humanoid monsters with snakes instead of hair. They were really quick, and charged at me, but I managed to shot them down, then place turrets to protect myself from other creatures. I moved on, and saw soldiers. I tried to get their attention, but it was a mistake. They tried to shoot me down, but in the end it was that turret I set up that killed me.

Then I appeared in the same hallway again, but it was different. More monsters appeared, and those that were there before were stronger. I had that weird feeling that comes with lucidity, but I haven't realised that I'm dreaming. I just tried to shoot at monsters with my finger. After I killed creatures, soldiers appeared and I died again.

An image depicting a diary

Quite funny how I had a nap due to being depressed about my former situation and this dream was what formulated from it.

I remember being on the site and looked at my Waking Journal following the post right after the one I made earlier about whether or not DreamViews was the right place for me and found that one of the staff had replied stating something and mentioning some user with some very hard to understand name would be able to help me. I then went and looked through the introductions section and found that person with an overly large signature of Shadow the Hedgehog wearing a black trench coat and some some sort of Sonic'esk avatar. I couldn't read what that individual said but I was awoken by my mother yelling at me me for taking a nap and to stop sleeping my days away and to make her food.

1st February 2016:
Dream Count:
Me: 2
Bro:1
My Dream #1:Normal Recurring Place Dream:

This dream is very short so I believe it's fragmented but the setting in the dream was a cinema that I have seen in many dreams before but
none of them have the same story. I was in a waiting room with a red carpet and a chandelier outside the cinema door. I had my back against
the wall and I was sitting down. Above the cinema door there was a giant TV screen which showed the trailer for the film it was about to show.
Then the TV screen showed a Disney film and I left.

My Dream #2: Normal Dream:
In this dream I was in a modern and very clean mansion with plant pots around the house. As I walked up the stairs someone who I can't remember
told me to get a new job. They said I should work at an arcade and left. I then walked in a room which looked like a school lab and someone was using
a Bunsen burner which had that yellowey-orange sodium colour. They said they had a better name for the colour and called it Dreamsizzle and I agreed
and then I woke up.

Bro's Dream#1: Fragmented Normal Dream:
My bro had another very short dream where he was on a train going to a school which looked more like a factory. When he walked in the school there
was a giant hall and hundreds of tables but no-one was there.
