Way too late to bed, watched a movie until 2:30am. Up at 8:30am.

Not going to try to group by dreams, just moments I remember:

+ Feeding a strange, large animal: it has a long, large pelican-like beak, which is open. It is waving its head up and down due to hunger. I toss a treat in and it eagerly eats it. It's snout/beak is closed and long like a horse's. I reach forwards and pet its forehead affectionately, we're friends. I see its wide-set eyes, large like a horse's. I give it another piece of food, but I put my hand inside it's open mouth, it closes on my hand/arm and starts sucking my hand in along with the food. I get scared and try to pull my hand out, it's difficult but I do get it out. I imagine the "biting zone" which is a circular sphincter of teeth and muscle deeper in the mouth that does the chewing and I just barely avoided it.

+ I'm outside and hear a sound and see that there are migrant workers standing around pits outside with long poles that they're thrusting in to the pits. The pits are full large pieces of dark (browns and blacks) pieces of leather. The foreman/leader has placed these pits here for the workers to churn into small pieces. Some of the workers are just standing around waiting for their turn to churn.

Walk through the courtyard area, the foreman/leader is working with some other guys on a small structure: it is a small concrete dome, like a child's playground object, and has "swiss cheese" holes on the top, they're just fitting a large puzzle-shaped piece to the top. He asks me (by name?) to go inside the dome and help adjust something ("it's not concave?"), I say sure just a sec and I go to put on my jeans but I'm not really excited about getting inside that small place.

+ outside a music school? There are girls with French Horn instruments in cases waiting for their lessson. I think French Horn is a good instrument for a girl. I imagine people playing some notes on the french horn.

+ in some place inside, there's an auto supplies display, someone says this is the best auto store?

+ moment with (wife?) people and an alarm goes off and we must get up and do things.

[I]in a house[/I]

I am in a house, looking for a bathroom. Every time I find a toilet, there is some naked person sitting on it. Why don't they close the door? This happens three times. gross.

[I]on a boat[/I]

I am working on a large sailboat in port. One of my co-workers is complaining about the challenge of doing laundry at sea. It's my old co-worker JB, with his big Texan accent.

"...and then your boots get [I]funky![/I]"

I was at workouts sitting down with the team in lines when a medicine ball was thrown in my direction so I tried to catch it but I missed and ended up having to do an exercise where I had my feet elevated and the ball in my hands with my butt on a box. I also had a dream that I was driving the van and I was going to turn down an ally but had to take the next turn because I couldn't see around the corner.

Fragment: I was hanging out with some homies and we were all toking, we left the place we had done the deed and were now just walking along a path in the grass up a slope. I started to kick myself for having done the deed and I was thinking that sometimes its just a dream and I shouldn't freak out, then I realized that I was in fact dreaming and I started to attempt stabilization (I had really felt buzzed from the toking and it felt real like I had done it, it was when I reminded myself that I had cheated my bodies reward system did I realize it was a dream, it was a clear moment - I saw what the action was clearly and that moment of clarity spontaneously let awareness of the dream come about. thanks meditation Anyway because I had just fallen asleep and this dream was more or lass fragmented imagery I had trouble staying in one spot. I started yelling for the dream to be more stable and started rubbing my hands together but while everything felt and was very vivid it did not keep me in the dream and I woke up.

I shortly fell back asleep to a dream with my cousin and he left out the back door, I dont know why. I have been thinking about him a lot because I haven't seen him forever and he just missed my sisters wedding.

Dream 1: Miniature fight
There are two different forces. They are the size of insects and the scene is amidst brown grass (which is tall from this tiny perspective). One group are the planners, who are using vehicles which look like purple beetles to transport themselves through the air. The other group are the destroyers, insects. This group is closing in on a man who is sitting atop a horse drawn cart.. though I don't recall seeing a horse. It's just standing still there. The man spots the approaching insects. He takes a box from his cart and runs in the opposite direction. The planners fly over the insects and position themselves between them and the man. A battle ensues which the planners win.

Dream 2: Grass
It's evening. I'm standing outside. There is a wooden building which is a sort of bar. As a customer you just chill on the outside of it. It's in the middle of a grass field. I'm there with my former housemate from Nepal, an Indonesian classmate, my current classmate from Ghana and at some point two Lithuanians who I lived with in Indonesia also join for a moment. The guy is cheerful and we talk, but the girl is silent. I figure it's because we never really talked that much. They end up leaving again pretty soon. I move and am standing on the grass. I'm making circles in the grass by spinning. There is a certain detail about the grass that makes this all seem very awesome. The colour.. the grass being pushed in the ground as a result of my foot going over it. The Nepali tells me not to move. He shoots or throws an object at my leg. Ah that hurts man! He's laughing about it. The place later turns into a supermarket, but there are no other people besides us. The Indonesian mentions he's bored.

I really liked the way the grass looked. It was just special

Dream 3: Ropeskip
It's daytime. I'm standing in a quiet street together with a German friend I met in Indonesia and possibly someone else. The German challenges me to a drinking game that involves ropeskipping. There was something particular about the way he ropeskipped, though I don't remember what. He tells me that it's easy to do it like that if you make sure to really lift up your legs far. I remind him I can't do that because of my knee. I end up ropeskipping the regular way, but with very small jumps. I wonder if my physical therapist would think this is wise.

Dream 4: Roadtrip
I'm roadtripping (hitchhiking?) to Germany with a German and an Austrian classmate. We've called it a night. I can't really remember the scene, it was half outside, half inside. As if there is a building which is missing a wall, or a big patio perhaps. My classmates are sleeping in their sleeping bags. The moment that I finally decide to also go to bed, it is time to get up.

Yesterday I went for dinner with a group of classmates. These two were in the group.

Fragment
There was another dream.. but I don't really remember what. All I remember is being in a building with a male Dutch classmate and a female Indonesian classmate. The walls might have been orange.

Tried to SSILD on going to bed but bad cough at moment so couldn't concentrate and fell asleep anyway. I did set an intention to dream about being naked, and it worked.

Dream 1
Fragment earlier in dream: Stood by a table someone said that it had been rather hot for the time of year earlier in the day over 20 degrees, now it was getting cooler.
Next I was in a large single storey outward bound/camping centre. I felt very socially awkward like being at school again, everyone else was outside but I didn't know what to do so I found a table lamp to fiddle with, then it started leaking water everywhere (odd). I walked outside and noticed everyone was naked except me and it was quite a nice feeling, I saw some people, all naked, doing something in a woodland clearing, then decided that I should take all my clothes off as well, and thought it was actually quite warm. As soon as I did that everyone else started putting their clothes on again.

Dream 2
Fragment: Sat on a bed. I was going to go home after travelling. The person I was with was going to continue travelling and we talked about it.

I've had a lot of lucids, semi-lucids, etc. lately, and I'm so bad at recording them. I even forget some of them. When I first started practicing, I would have said that's crazy talk, but it's like remembering stuff from your day to day life. After you live enough days, the details of what happened during each one get hazy.

I'll record the one from last night, though.

In this particular one, I realized I was dreaming while I was waiting for a train on an elevated train platform that doesn't exist along that particular rail line.

It was dark and stormy at the time, just generally nasty weather, and it was extremely late (like 4 a.m. late/early) and I was thinking about how tired I was going to be... then I realized that this train platform doesn't exist, and I don't work at the job I was thinking about any more.

The weather immediately switched to daylight/dusk. I hopped off of the platform into the air and flew along the train tracks, exploring this new and different rail line. I ran my hands along the metal, along the weeds as I skimmed the ground, focused on the feeling of wind, so I could maintain my thread of awareness.

I flew down into a neighborhood I wanted to explore and found some apartments where there would normally be a metalworking shop. I decided to explore the inside. Inside of the apartment, the walls were sort of orange... everything was decorated like a grandmother might decorate. Sitting at the kitchen table sipping a cup of tea was a bipedal talking white tiger in a grey-brown trench coat and fedora. He was extremely tall, and he carried himself and spoke with a great deal of dignity.

I decided to see where this was going and told the "detective" that I needed help finding my missing cousin. He was reluctant at first and basically said that he wasn't interested in helping. I was trying to talk him into helping me when my alarm clock went off.

I'll probably run into Mr. Tiger Detective again at some point. Some characters pop up more than once, and he seems like one who will.

*I was at Kroger trying to buy some applesauce for my kratom mixture I bought on the internet. I asked an employee there where the applesauce was and they told me they were all out.

Non-dream
Non-lucid
Lucid

I tried to SSILD last night but nothing happened which was disappointing. I attempted to use it to get a WILD-type lucid but that failed and I didn't even get a DILD as a back up .

Dream 1 - Rich Look
I had woken up earlier before this dream and couldn't be bothered going to the toilet, I almost paid the price.
There was some competition to win an expensive sports car (like $100K) and a $1000 tennis racket, along with other stuff too I think (a fancy suit maybe). It was supposed to be some kind of opportunity to spruce yourself up and look really good in order to appeal to the ladies or something. I don't think I wanted to win, in fact I don't think I did. But then I was the winner and I walked into an apartment that was mine now, it was inside a very dull grey carpark building. I just remember really needing to pee so I went to the corner of the room and did it, behind the couch... O_O... I woke up thinking "Omfg please tell I didn't just..." and patted my bed a bunch. All was safe which confused me because I no longer needed to pee either.

Dream Fragment - I remember standing in the toilet and unzipping my fly to take a leak. Only thing is... My pants in RL didn't have a zipper that day, they had these annoying button things. Conspiracy? Nope, just a dream.

Dream 2 - Eminem Concert
This dream was pretty cool, it took place in a huge stadium with Eminem rapping on the stage. I don't think it was his music he was singing but oh well. Everything was dark and the stage was the primary source of light. It illuminated a huge crowd of people jumping around and enjoying themselves. I was somewhere far off to the right of everything kind of just observing everything while all experiencing it somehow (dream logic?). It was the end of the concert now and Eminem took out a golden record disk. It looks incredible, it must be so valuable. He slowly and smoothly throws it and glides over the crowd. I'm in the crowd yet not, I'm observing but participating. I jump up from the crowd really high and intercept it, catching it and getting applause. Wow, I just got this?! I'm completely stoked. I decide to leave, and tuck the record away on my person, then crowd surf all the way to the back of the stadium and onto a walkway near the entrance. My friends and family are there too, just casually waiting for me so we can leave together. I look for the record so I can show them, but it's missing! Did I drop it while crowd surfing? Oh wait, I found it again. The panic disappears as I pull it out from under my shirt. I felt like it had been there the whole time and wonder how I could have thought to have lost it. It's in a paper bag now too, but it's obviously broken down the middle just by looking at how the bag sharply bends in the middle. Oh f*ck . My friends and family see this and start talking about it, even arguing and telling me I should have been more careful. One of them says that because it's the golden record label it's not actually broken which reassures me. I know that if I take it out then it will be fine, even though it's still obviously broken. Their still arguing though, I just suddenly have this outburst come out... "Shut up! This is the first time I've won anything in years, how do you think I feel knowing that it's broken?! This means a lot to me so stop harassing me about it". Wow where did that come from? They stop bickering as they understand that it's not something they should complain about, the dream ends.

Conversations at school
I'm in an office in a school, looking for a (drawing) compass for my daughter. I'm poking through a really strange chest of drawers - each drawer has a strange lip on top that prevents it from closing unless the drawer above it is open, so I'm moving from the bottom up, closing each drawer as I open the one above it.

I happen to look up from the drawers and out the door, and I see Mr. Jackson walk by. I've wanted to talk to him, so I get up to chase after him. Now I'm in the foyer of the school catching up to him. A lot of people are around (unusual for a dream), so I'm having a hard time moving quickly. I call his name, but he keeps walking as if he didn't hear me. I call his name again, and he turns around - except it turns out to be a woman with long blond hair (I could have sworn I was chasing a man with short blond hair?!?). She turns back around and walks off.

Now I'm walking through the school again, and I pass a wall with some huge displays. They're showing some kind of slideshow; some of the images aren't really appropriate for public viewing, and I'm surprised they're showing them here.

Now I'm back in the foyer, standing next to a freestanding desk, talking to my sister-in-law about a switched extension cord she has. I look at it and see that the outlets on it are rimmed with copper, which I think is very odd - and probably not safe. I look again and see a wide, shallow rocker switch on the side with two outlets - but it's also odd, since it looks like anything plugged into it would sit on top of the switch.

Now I'm talking with someone else. I pull out my phone to show him a picture of the extension cord, but all my recent pictures are of a giant outdoor event with LOTS of people. I don't remember what the event is, and I'm surprised that I can't find the extension cord picture since I took it so recently.


Fragment: I'm coming back into my bedroom at some terribly early hour. To my surprise, my wife is awake, and we talk briefly.

Kind of a blah dream.

I was up north on Squirrel Hill by the fire tower. (In RL the bottom part of the ladder was missing so I couldn't climb it.) I noticed that on the back of the tower was the ladder. Apparently it had been moved, which is why I wasn't able to climb it in RL(dream logic). But instead of being angled straight up, it was angled outward a bit so if you were to climb it, it would be pretty dangerous. This lady decided to climb while holding her baby, which made me nervous so I looked away, but she made it up there along with some other man. I was planning on climbing it later to check it out but never got around to it.

Then TPLSM(my friends) showed up and we were at the cabin, along with my parents. Britt gave me a delicious ginger cookie and I liked it so much I wanted to make more but she didn't feel like it or something. I went upstairs and there were Autumn trees growing in the house. I tried to get a picture of them because they looked so pretty but then it got too dark. Then, it was dark and Tasia was all lit up with glowsticks around her waist and wrists and was dancing to music and it looked really cool, so we decided to go to Walmart and get more glowsticks and alcohol. So we went to Walmart, but forgot to get alcohol. Then my parents made a campfire and.. that's all I remember.

I was getting my character ready for Lucid Urth, but I was still in my annoying inner world. I was in a Boutique and I was wearing a blue and purple "belly dancing" outfit. I remembered that I had a performance shortly and I was picturing this huge stage and audience I was about to perform for. I did not really like my outfit felt a bit too dark for my personality, not the color really but maybe the fabric... it was stiff and synthetic. I felt annoyed with the boutique, it kept changing from a boutique to a grocery store to a big box retail store. I was shopping around and I kept looking at food instead of outfits and then I was suddenly with some annoying lady and her two boys and she was my boss and I was their nanny. I could psychicly sense that all three of them absolutely hated me. The lady was trying to convince me to buy some high heels that matched my outfit, and I was trying to politely tell her that I don't wear heals or ever dance in heels. Her suggestion to me after I told her that was to go on stage and introduce myself and then exit the stage, take off my shoes and then come back on stage to dance. I was trying to explain to her how ridiculous and idiotic that would look and make me feel, when I just felt too exhausted to say that to her. We left the store and I was still wearing the dark blue and purple ruffly thing that I did not quite like, I felt irritated that I did not get to look around the store freely like I wanted to. I went with the annoying lady and her two kids to a school building and I sat down with her two school aged boys and paper and crayons appeared and we started coloring, the annoying lady disappeared without me noticing really. The two children were trying to see what the most obnoxious things that they could say in front of me, but I don't remember anything specific that they said. I mostly ignored them for a while and sat there coloring beside them to supervise them until their mother got back, then I remembered that I have a dance performance to get to. I wondered what the hell I am doing babysitting right before a performance. I realized that I had no time to get ready at all. I went out to the parking lot and the two kids followed me. Their mother pulled up in a mini van saying something about how she was just about to get back at me angrily. I felt relieved, thinking finally I am not around these irritating people and I can go dance. Then I remembered that I don't like my outfit still. I felt annoyed.
This dream really makes me want to get lucid. Those people or dream characters were soooooo annoying!!!!

D1 - I am making posts to the subconscious with someone else. Posts have to be made by painting a picture of a face.
(Hmmm it looked like one of LinKZeldas 3D models, hope i'm not breaking copyright using it in my dreams .)
I tryed sending a message using broad brush strokes in vivid green and yellow (not human face).
I then go back in to edit it, to make my message clearer.
Others try but are enable to send clear messages.
D2 -
On hols being advised where to go and what to eat and do.
Sitting at a restaurant table with two others.
I almost fall off my chair onto concrete below.

[comment] I feel powerless in D2

It was day outside and I was on my bed talking to a small monster like creature. As I kept talking I became more aware that this was a dream by questioning the situation.The monster like creature grabbed me and started squeezing my stomach. It hurt quite a bit at first so I directed my attention to the other hand the creature had that wasn't squeezing me. The pain stood for a bit than slowly died out."Awww" said the yellow monster knowing that he lost the wrestle.

But than it decided to take my pants off. I didn't really care that he took it away though."Do whatever you want" I told it.It than grabbed me and started flying me somewhere. "So this is where the dream takes me...."I thought feeling somewhat disappointed. "Is this really the dc that I end up interacting with?..." Than we ended up in a building with dark blue flooring and blue walls. The place wasn't well lit and kind of dark.Suddenly something blasted at us. The monster dropped me and tried to escape.

I ran and ended up shutting myself in a room. Someone knocked on the door as I sat close to the bed. I thought about how I hated being alone and how I don't know what my brain will end up making me see if i opened the door. The door was knocked again. I could see the bottom of the door somewhat open allowing me to see heavy black boots. "Dawn!" I called feeling somewhat insecure. But than I started walking to the door ready to open it."Forget this! Whatever shows up I'll be okay with it." It knocked again. I kept my eyes on the floor so I could see the legs instead of the face of whatever dc i might encounter.

Opened the door slowly and don't remember seeing anything. Than there was another blast and a not very visible person ended up grabbing me and running around the building with me. We were being shot at by alien like creatures." Is this Dawn protecting me?" I thought. I remember thinking about how I was going to fight him and felt kind of disappointed in myself. Than the alien shooting at us came closer an blasted a ray or something like that at us. The guy holding me dropped onto the floor with me under a round table. Seemed like we were inside a blue/white decorated kitchen room.

I put a clear barrier around us as the alien made his blast bigger and stronger.Than when it stopped I stopped and felt a burst of wind being thrown at us. The guy brought out his own barrier than shouted"Bring out your pink barrier!". I put my hand over us and brought it out. It was pink but kind of small. The barrier seemed more clear than pink. He said I did a good job though. Back up came and ended up firing at the alien. Knowing that we were safe I decided to observe the texture I felt from his clothes. Also, I honestly don't remember how this happened but i ended up on top of the poor guy hugging him.

"You can get up now" He told me since the alien was gone. I noticed he felt somewhat big. Not fat but maybe a little more than average. I didn't get off him though I just kissed him and he kissed me back but when i wanted to do a different form of kiss he started blowing air at me. "Wait a minute. Is he blowing air at me?" I thought than stopped and got up feeling kind of bad that I did that to him after he protected me. He got up as well than started walking somewhere. I held onto his arm as he was walking out the room and through the hall."Sorry about how I thought you were my enemy at first" I told him. He said nothing back to me and kept walking.

"Hes not saying anything...I wonder where hes going?". I let go of him thinking to give him space than he walked into a small open room where there was a guy and a girl looking at a computer screen. " I finished what I had to do" he said to one of them."Good" said the girl than she pointed out something on the computer. "Dang it...I dont know how long i have left and we end up here?" I thought. Than i woke up.

To bed late (1am) At least my sleep was mostly undisturbed until 8am.

+(f) I have to drive somewhere late at night in the snow, it's a treacherous trip. I decide to put off the trip until morning?

+(f) I see someone dear (mother?) to me whom I know is departed, standing outside, just for a moment, but I move on

+ I unexpectedly owe thousands of dollars still in debt. How will I pay this off? There are two old women bringing the bill around and I still have to pay them $5000 and I don't have this. It will take me months to earn this. Can I get a $5000 loan from them?

+(f) I'm receiving emails that I need to read, they're about me perhaps, but the email system's filter deletes them as soon as they come in. I see this happen once. I need to deactivate the "delete" function so that the emails remain and I can read them.

+(f) something in a large supermarket?

My recall is still rubbish. When I wake I can remember everything but it fades so fast.

Driving onto a large multi-lane road. Two buses coming fast towards me, I narrowly avoid one then I find myself stuck in a queue of traffic and having to do a hill start on a VERY steep hill. I'm sort of hanging backwards out of the drivers seat, desperately trying to control the car but I just about do it.

I find myself in a competition with someone to see who can do the most sit-ups in a minute. I do mine really fast so I get a sinking feeling in my stomach as I sit up. That sensation together with sitting up reminds me of going out of body and I wake up immediately to try to control it. Didn't come to anything.
