Before going to sleep I've read Naiya's MILD guide, and relaxed a bit. I didn't really recall this first dream until I got up in the next morning, although it was the first one:

Starts with a FA

I wake up and I stand up, go to my wardrobe's mirror and look at how well trimmed my beard is.
I don't remember trimming my beard
I look around a bit and I realize another thing:
We took off the mirror years ago, I must be dreaming!
I go out of my room and I decide, for the sake of curiosity go into my grandma's room, she wakes up (it's nighttime in my dream) and she stares. She asks:
-How much is 110 x 4?-
I got really scared here, because I thought that doing math in my dream could destabilize my dream, but I test it.
I think about the answer, which I thought it would be more difficult in the dreams and I reply:
-440
-Ok - She answers, turns around and goes to sleep
Suddenly, my alarm sounds and I wake up

I stand up, turn on my laptop, and start skype to chat with SammyTheSnake, we talked about that maybe I shouldn't drop SSILD only after 22 days, so I thought, alright tonight I'll try SSILDing again. We hang up, or my internet hang up, and I went to the toilet saying this mantra "I wake up, I do a RC". Went to sleep and SSILD'd:

I hear my dad shouting:
- NOT AGAIN!
My dog has been sick for these days and had a lot of diarrhea, so my dad was a little nervous about that
I hear him going upstairs and he opens my door, the light is really bright, like a blinding one
Yes, I'm dreaming, no need to RC!
He closes the door, but I can't stand up, I force myself but I wakeup
I stay still, and do a DEILD
Again, I hear noises, the door opens and a shadow goes inside my room, and instead of getting scared I kiss the shadow. There's the same problem, I can't stand up. But I roll out of my bed. I stand up.
- Whew, I'm lucid, this feels great.
As soon as I think about stabilization I wake up.
I DEILD again.
I'm standing in front of my toilet opening the door, but that doesn't make sense. As soon as I let go of the door handle I wake up.
There is a lot of noise now in the street due to the cleaning machines, so I cannot DEILD again, I try to SSILD again.
Im standing in front of the Las Palmas' St. Ann cathedral, the dream is really vivid, I think about going to explore but something better happens:
- Hey, follow me! We got to take our powers - Says my dad as he passes running beside me
This seems a good idea, so I follow him running.
We arrive at the entrance of the cathedral, there are 4 little statues: One yellow with a flame in the hand, one white with a blue flame in the hand, the other one green with a lime flame in the hand and the other one is black, with a purple flame in the hand.
My dad takes the flame from the yellow one and a yellow aura starts surrounding him.
- Look! This is awesome! - He says while shooting fire balls into the air
I was about to take the flame from the white one, but then I changed my mind and took the one from the black statue.

Some purple aura started to surround me and I was a bit shocked actually.
- Try your new powers! - Says my dad

I make a little purple flame in my palm, but instead of shooting it, I grab it and I absorb it, and I turn invisible.
- Wow, thats cool! - Says my dad

Now I get out of invisibility and I shoot a purple flame to the floor, but nothing happens.
Suddenly the dream starts to fade out, to disappear, and I really want to grab something so I can stabilize, but Im in the middle of a square so I just try to "hug" the floor. I wake up.

I DEILD again.
I'm in my bed, and I'm about to write down my dream
Oh no, I just DEILD'd, I cannot be awake. Crap! I didn't write the "superpowers dream" down! I can forget it. I gotta wake up! I wake up
I write the superpowers dream and this one, then I fell asleep, and I don't remember anything more :^)

+ assassins? in the parking garage

+ super fast moving (blur) traffic on the road, sit with work colleagues for a chocolate milkshake party (being served in large glass teacups), I finally get mine (3rd), it's really thick. It has chunks of cottage-cheese like things in it making it so thick

+ discussing pipelining and managing state changes: do they take effect right away, or are the changes pipelined along with the data? I almost say my former employer (company "N") but decide not to and just refer to it as "my previous job". A guy worked all night and came up with the new architecture, if I had had the same documents maybe I could have done the same.

+ at desk at work, my monitor is wrong, somebody came and switched the monitors!? I could use my old Apple but it's too old/small screen, there's an old adm3a monitor, lots of old IBM PC/AT systems, where's the click box for the terminal connection (old l.b. lab button box with 3 lights on it).

I was walking towards a place, via roads. Some were unfamiliar. I was going to Rob's place. I was walking all over the place at first, passing by what seemed like the roads surrounding QC Memorial Circle. Then I arrived at a place that looks familiar: the walls of my elementary school. I walked up the road. I went "inside" somehow. I was looking at a lake or seaside area. It was an illusion created by technology. There were a few people there. I was looking for a shade under the tree. I sat beside them without any of us minding it. Rob texted where I was. I told him near/in front of his house. I then wondered whether I should have texted first that I was heading here since they might be elsewhere.

Jan 3 (afternoon?)

I was doing parkour. I was in some place with an unfinished building. There are a lot of sand. There was a fight. People were running away. I got frustrated and tried to attack the one shooter in camouflage clothing, which happened to be female.

It was time to sleep. I have to wake up early tomorrow but I stayed up late. I was in our hometown.

Dad was alive. I was happy he wasn't dead. We talked of going to Bambang via the PNR train. We're looking for a plumber.

Jan 3

Christian contemporary singing. Trio. Visiting colleges.

It was summer. I was in BGC training in parkour.

There are pink eggs.

I was able to do a two-step wall run. It didn't feel revolutionary but I was happy that I was able to do it.

Jan 2, 2016

I traveled to BGC to a condo unit. I think Rob and/or Lico was there.

Someone needed to take a cab. I wrote down a number for GrabCar or something.

I was lining up in the MRT. There's a sale in a mall nearby. People are also lining up, but they're on tiles (like in Civilization). I moved a bag on one tile out so people can use it. Or I think someone else took out the bag.

There was a game of some sort where everybody wins an apple. Literally one piece of apple. I thought that was ridiculous.

I was on a rooftop of a building. Alex and Bishie were there I think. They're playing around. I can see the height from the edge of the roof of the building. Several stories high.

A videogame. An old man and a monster. "Panga-yao."

I was talking with a person about how Jews are gaining power and oppressing everyone else, including Muslims. There's a hint of anti-Semitism and conspiracy theory. I mentioned to the person how hypocritical that is, defending one religious group (Muslims) while demonizing another (Jews). The person tried to it dismiss it and change the topic.

Notes:

- Most of the dream was hazy but the last part where I was arguing with the person was very lucid. Too bad it ended quickly.
- The person is familiar in real life but I forgot his/her name.

Jan 1, 2016

Vague. Hazy. I was in a bathroom. There's a lot of dirt. I think I was trying to take a dump.

Bees That Live In The Water (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

So, there's this obese female that's akin to a co-worker of mine that I'll nickname MariT. She's trying to run away from some bees via going into some water, and when she does, she comes out green, and bees come out of the water to sting her.

She's like,

"Help me, Brandon," in this really, really awkward declaration for help.

Also, the graphics for the dream is akin to a side scroller game in 2D.


Funny thing, when I met her today, she was busy eating some chocolate. But I'm wondering why I've had a few dreams about her lately. There aren't any romantic connotations, so it could just be random noises firing at random contexts, I guess.

During a string of fairly uninteresting dreams, I escaped out a window and found myself lucid. I was looking at a dark mountain range in the far distance, and hearing a voice saying "Aurora, awaken." Aurora apparently was me, which I thought of as an odd choice of names; I associated it with Sleeping Beauty. I thought of this place as the abyss. I attempted to create a bridge, but found I was altering the scene as a whole instead of individual elements; I saw scenery representing my bedroom around the edges of my vision. I stopped the attempt to alter the scene and exited back through the window instead.

First me and my boyfriend were trying to choose a restaurant to order food from to have it delivered. As I looked up restaurants on my tablet, I would see a view of the restaurant from the street and it would be empty and closed. It was some time early in the morning, around 3 or 4 am. We decided to order from a place that had some kind of stuffed meat dish and some side item.

In my next dream there were people in a restaurant who were all pretty and wore nice clothes even though those were their casual clothes and they weren't actually dressed up. A Korean woman and a Cherokee Indian woman walked in with a list of ingredients for the chef, a woman with black curly hair, to make a custom Korean/Cherokee Indian dish with. Most of the dream was about a woman talking to two different men. First she talked to a big blonde man in his forties. She bit off part of his gray sweater in a spiral and ate it and then they sung a song together. They were having a good time together but the man told her he wasn't good for her because he has already been through marriage and divorce and she would be better off dating a young man. A young man in his twenties with black hair and black clothes walked in, lamenting about how he couldn't afford his own place and he lives in a guest house behind his parents' house. The woman smiled at him and sat at a table with him while her friends were mouthing something to her across the restaurant about why did she leave their table and what is she doing.

Lucid dream.
I was in my house and I just became aware and done a rc, I walked around a bit to get used to it because it was my first full lucid dream in awhile, I was kind of bad at controlling it but I did stabilizing and everything and my lights kept going off, I remember trying to turn my lights on and yell turn off lights and I just decided to go outside but I ran to my door. So I was outside and I ran down my road a few times and tried to fly, my 3rd attempt at running was cool, I went wicked fast, and I remember just looking around being happy I was lucid again, and I said to myself "I wanna go to New York" so I went to my road and ran really fast and I jumped as high as I could because I think I was being chased also and then I went really fast into the air and was gliding really fast and then I landed in New York, but everything was blocky like minecraft or something, I was like "eh, close enough" then I was walking around and I wanted a building to be real so I thought of them being real and I turned the corner and they were all real, my dream kept fading out st this point but I got it all together, then I woke up.

-I remember telling my sister I was dreaming
-it was dark out but everything still seemed colourful in a way
-someone was chasing me and trying to get something from me
-they wanted clarity or something, it was weird

It was cool and this was too long but it was my first in awhile after my break and I'm happy about that

Sorry guys, I thought I posted this.
I was riding in the car to Goodwill, and all the stores in the area were different, I remember commenting on this in the dream. Goodwill was where Pick 'n save usually is for me. When we got to the Goodwill, I had to walk through a restaurant in order to get to the store. When we got to Goodwill, me and my sister were apparently there to start our new jobs.

I've been doing all right with my physical dream journal (i.e. the one I take notes on when I wake up in the middle of the night, or in the morning). The only dream of note I had yesterday was that a former friend of mine was trying to stab me with a knife. It was freaky, and in no way lucid. It did wake me up, though. Before waking up, I grabbed it - by the blade - in order to stop him, and it didn't hurt at all. We were working on a project in my dream when this happened.

One other dream, less exciting, was about a girl talking about college grades. Also went up an elevator with some friends and there was a ghost of our apartment complex? I don't quite remember that, but that's what my notes say, so!

As for last night's dreams, let's see...Not quite lucid, but I did get close on one.

- I was being attacked by a panda, of all things, and a few other creatures or people that I don't remember. However, it wasn't painful at all - I didn't feel anything.

- I was with a group of people. These people were making fun of those who don't like anthro art.

- I was friends with this beautiful lady, who was like a mother in some ways and romantic in others. Anyway, her arch-nemesis came in to attack her. This is where I became close to lucidity: I vaguely realized that I could do anything in my current environment, so I used some magical powers in order to create a shield to stop him. However, he soon broke through the shield, and suddenly my powers became impotent. I was really confused as to why my powers weren't working, and that was about when I lost my almost-lucid state. Anyway, he broke through, and started flirting with my friend and her two daughters - but in a completely inappropriate way. I remember massaging my lady's shoulders to comfort her, and her skin felt incredibly real. Then she started to look like one of my mom's friends in the waking world, which was odd. One of her daughters looked like her, and the other looked like a girl I know in real life. I remember not liking this guy at all, and feeling a lot of anger towards him. He tried to bribe me to let him take away my friend and her daughters, with a gray room filled with all these toys. I believe my dream-friend got sick or something, as she either spat or threw up at this point. I was really frustrated because my shield and my magic had worked initially, and then it all stopped.

- I was at college, but the place looked quite different. There was a lockdown drill, and a bunch of us were hiding in this building. One guy wanted to fight back, so he brought the majority of the students with him to fight. I wasn't keen on going out there, so me, a girl from my school, and a few others tried staying hidden in the room. Unfortunately, they left the door wide open, so we hid in the shadows under a table the best that we could. It was broad daylight outside. We talked about how we weren't supposed to leave as per campus policy during a lockdown. But then we heard these gunshots - our classmates were shooting down some aerial planes and bombs, thus saving us. I guess the threat was from the air. We even saw some explosions (they looked very much like poorly done CG effects, though). The atmosphere of the dream changed from one of danger and fear to one of comfort and relief.

It has been around 4 weeks since my last LD. I sleep much deeper than before now that winter has started, so it is getting harder for me to DILD.

I woke up at 7:45 am and felt more awake than any other day at that time, but decided to sleep more before getting ready for work. The alarm woke me up at 9 am after a long LD , so I think I had my REM in less than an hour.

I was in the middle of some weird dream about schools and so. I dunno why I always dream of school and people from school although college is a closer memory. Anyway, I was going down some stairs with a school friend to do something that I can't recall now, and suddenly I realized that this all not real and I'm dreaming. I love when I realize it like that without reality checks. I just notice sometimes that things are unrealistic, but that doesn't happen as often as I'd like of course.

As the last LD, I was moving fast between rooms trying many things, and when I do that I usually don't remember most of the dream. Maybe I should focus next time on a few things that I can recall later.

I recall failing at flying as usual . I also tried to make the things I was carrying fly behind me, but that didn't work so well. Then I tried to run fast as a boost, and I got in the sky for a moment then ended up somewhere else on a floor like I teleported but against my will .

I tried to summon a celebrity behind a door and that actually worked, and I interacted with him for some time then he disappeared. I tried to summon someone I knew in the past, but I got other DCs instead of him. They were standing in a queue for me to check them , and they all looked the same, but not him, Maybe I didn't want it enough. I was just messing around.

For the first time, I shouted my requests in the dream. I think I read that here in the forum. I shouted that I wanted to stay more, when the dream seemed to fade, and it worked . I also shouted some things I wanted. Some worked, and some didn't.

I remember telling a dream character that we are in a dream, and he was shocked and his reaction was loud so others overheard, and they were in shock too. I left them and moved on though. It was the first time I tell DCs the harsh truth that they only live in my mind.

There is one thing that bugs me. When I have a long LD, and I try to remember later the decisions I made there, I can see that my memory of my real life there is good, and I usually try things that I read about or thought about when I'm awake, but I don't recall my thought process, so sometimes I don't know why I did some of the things I did. Like now I don't remember why I chose this celebrity and not another. It was Kenny Taylor btw . He guest stars in some show I am watching currently and I just saw him the night before, so maybe that's why, but the thing is I don't remember how I reached that decision in the dream.

+ strange building: in the basement, I'm in a long white freaky hallway with no way out, I back out of there there's a guy at the door. I get in to an elevator and am not sure of which button to push, I want to go up, and I see that one of the buttons indicates going down, and a man standing outside the elevator reaches in and pushes the button that goes up. There are a couple other people on the elevator with me. The elevator goes up *really* fast, and is shaking and swinging back and forth while we ascend. We're going way too far, past my desired floor. Finally it stops and we get out, but in the portion of the building that is not done yet: someone says they're like indentured servants working here. I see plans and construction materials all around. I'm quickly descending stairs to get back down to the floor I wanted to be on. I pass two older men sitting at a table discussing something, I think they're the architects of this work. One of them (with a big afro?) mentions to me something about the review (of the building?) I'm writing.

+ son S1 is exhausted from studying physics, he's sleeping on the couch with his physics book spread open on top of him. I come around the side of the couch and then son S1 jumps on me and tackles me, they're both about 10 years younger.

+ a teacher is teaching c# programming to my sons. I tell him I want to make sure he will emphasize the way I like to do things, like top-down design. And if for example, they write a routine that takes input and output it should use input and output iterators.

+ sexy time

+ I'm hiding a NSFW magazine under a towel on a towel rack, and son S1 is doing the same, I think no, he shouldn't follow my example.
