Pre-WBTB
My girlfriend SB shows me a new type of thread she is working with. It is layered type of thing. There is red material inside a main branch of thread and it can be stretched. I'm playing with it and she asks me to stop so I don't ruin it. She is working on new home project.

Post-WBTB
I get up and take the Yuschak primary trigger. I stay awake about 10 minutes and prepare my DJ. I re-read some old dreams, go to the bathroom, and then head back to bed. I lay for awhile and the vibrations come pretty quick. I get through one cycle of them, no images. I get a second one, and then I see a white flash, then more vibrations. I think about how last time I "missed the bus" at the end. This time, I imagined a first person view of my hands in front of me, similar to a FPS game. This visual formed at the end of the tunnel. Next thing I knew, I was standing hands outstretched exactly how I visualized. My first full WILD. Nice!

I'm lucid in a place that looks like my Grandma P's bedroom. My girlfriend SB is there. I stabilize by rubbing my hands together and touching things around the room. I talk to SB for a bit but I forgot the conversation. Also, spicy content occurs but I forget the details. I lose lucidity for a bit. Later, I'm lucid in a place that looks like my friends AG and HS' old apartment. There was some conflict here but I lost the details.

Some time later I've lost lucidity and my brother A and I are in my car. We are outside a house on a sunny day. I'm yelling at him about something. I recall feeling how hoarse my throat felt. He broke something near the drink holder on my car, and is still arguing with me and trying to give me a stack of bills. I'm frustrated cause I'm trying to fix the drink holder and my hands are busy. He doesn't care.

I probably should have gotten up to record the lucids sooner. I know I lost a lot of details here, but happy I got another lucid. Seems like the supplements work for me. It's also possible that weekend extra sleep time might be doing the trick. Might be worth it to isolate those conditions and find out. I also woke up after 5 hours this time instead of the usual 6. I may have WILD'd into the end of a sleep cycle instead of the beginning, which could have contributed to the instability. Next time, 5.5 hours before waking might be better. I think the 10 minutes awake seems to be good though.

Conditions
1hr Cycling
5hr/10m WBTB
4th Yuschak Primary Trigger Attempt (8Mg Galantamine, 250Mg Choline Bitartrate)

No recall.

Definitely had something more than usual today. Maybe multiple fragments or a short dream. But it faded very quickly. Maybe I will look into using a mic to capture these dreams. Maybe I just need to plan waking time in better alignment with my REM cycles.

Adding this link to my DJ for reference. Very interesting so far. I was able to focus on about 3 sounds at once before losing focus on one or more of them. These are fun and give me a goal to aim for during meditation.

Fragment
I'm walking through the second floor of production at work with MM. There is a stressful situation and they need my help to solve.

Fragment
There is a marching band show happening in a stadium. My view is from above. The formation is a large spiral shape and it takes up most of the football field.

Fragment
I'm in a race in a sunny grassy place. Dream feels light-hearted and happy.

Really hoping for some better recall soon. Getting tired of these fragments! Been practicing awareness during the day, reading a ton about lucid dreaming, meditating 4 times a week, getting 7+ hours of sleep, plus I woke up without the snooze today. Still crap recall...

3/21/23

At highschool walking around
I see a math teacher I had in middle school
We talk while walking down the rotunda
He's talking about one of his classes
I ask him specifically how he is doing
He is surprised and I can tell pleased by my interest in his well-being
I notice my reflection in the windows and see my hair is styled like it was when I was a freshman
It is the last day of school so everyone is very informal as the day ends
There are large groups of my peers gathered by the exit taking pictures of each other
We all burst out the doors at once into the parking lot
I notice my current car parked on the street right by the entrance
As I approach I notice my car has been broken into, one of the windows is forced down and one of the side doors is slightly ajar
I'm put off but not too worried because I keep no valuables in my car
I shout, Ah man! Wtf! Someone broke into my car!?
People notice and a small group go into a frenzy of "oh wow, nice! This is YOUR car???"
A few of them circle the car with me assessing the situation
A mutual friend climbs into the driver seat before me and pretends to start it up
I jokingly ask him "lol dusty you gonna drive my car huh?" He exits the vehicle
When I sit down I notice everything is torn up like the thieves we're looking for something
My passenger seat had been ripped up, glove box broken, center console opened and papers everywhere
I sigh at the violation and start the car to leave

I am with Sunny in a major south east Asian country
It feels like a metropolitan south Korean with tall city buildings and ancient temples/sites peppered between them
I am in complete awe with the amount of details around me
The traffic feels alive, we are walking with a group it seems but I can't stop looking around at the odd angles the highrises have balconies and extravagant walkways between them
I gather we are going to some special ritual put on by the people here
We have to travel to the place together and it seems like the crowd is growing the closer we get
We have to make our way up a very tight very old tower with rustic stairs and a somewhat medieval aesthetic
I notice how packed the stairs are as we get higher and high
It occurs to me I'm in a country with fewer building codes and collapses are somewhat frequent
The whole structure is swaying with the movement of the procession up the never ending staircase
I get worried about being caught inside this thing if it tumbles so I tell sonny I can't go this way and need to leave while running back down the stairway opposite the torrent of people coming up
We get back to the street level with no issue and continue the general direction towards the ritual but along the street this time
I am still amazed at the detail and just how foreign everything feels
There are planters with unique plants all along the buildings storefronts we pass
Everything is very well lit and feels fancy in this part of town
We pass an attraction which is kind is ride I gather
There is a little car shaped like a streamlined spaceship on the sidewalk, it is a very shiny bluish gray colour with a single point in the front, and two points at the back
I reach for my phone to take a picture and feel 3 different phones stacked in my pocket
I keep telling sonny how amazing this all is because I've never been to Asia before
We arrive at our destination which feels like a large hotel lobby with a massive bar/atrium area inside hundreds of people are elbows to elbows standing around
Everyone is wearing orange and white
We are in a line and a they are handing out what appear to be white kitchen towels with an orange corner folded into an armband, one for each person
We are told to put the band on our selection and that would signify which one was special
There are thousands of bottles of alcohol and deserts of all shapes and colours on every surface of the main gathering area
They are already going through other people's selection's, making an announcement everytime they pick one up declaring this is the item they will provide this year
It feels important as there are chimes and incense and chanting, the ambiance feels spiritual
I put the armband on and begin to survey the selections, there are too many options to consider
I stand to the side taking it all in as the dream fades

I'm washing dirt from under my nails. I'm wondering where the dirt came from since I haven't been outside recently.

Fragment
I'm thinking about a habit that has been stressing me lately. I'm feeling guilty about it.

I've been feeling s little sickish and could feel that in my dream as well, I had a dream about work, and although I cannot legally disclose what I do at my job (9 to 5 office job), this dream felt like an official "first day" where I'll br doing yhe first thing by myself, but in the canteen. While talking to all other worker who exactly found myself at the same place I was standing at.

I also moved to Austria and I met my only friend from Austria, or at least a version of him generated by my subconscious.

I had this moment where I thought "I'm going to work and I'll be the greatest I've ever been at it" and that's when my alarm went off.

It's almost as if they felt my brain waves lol

I don't recall where it started, but I took off from somewhere. I flew over what could have been dunes, or desert shrubland. I noticed a bunch of beheaded kamikazes from Serious Sam down below, so I wanted to kill them. Once again I struggled with mid-air controls a bit, things like changing direction and stopping inertia. Anyway, I landed and attacked the kamikazes. I wanted to use a power on them but I think it didn't work, so I had to kick down a dried-up (dead) tree and use its trunk as a spear. I impaled a kamikaze on the tree trunk, which was satisfying. In a later scene, I was in a MASSIVE underground cave, still flying, fighting Voldemort and his massive army of giant eagles (from Lord of the Rings). I attacked them by ripping the feathers from their wings, and causing them to crash to the ground. I had acquired a letter of sorts. This letter had to be destroyed to "complete the plot" and vanquish evil (consider it a stand-in for the One Ring). I knew it was someone's mission to destroy it, but now that it was in my possession, I figured: "why can't I do it, and do it much faster?" So I got the letter, and dove down some kind of empty elevator shaft (still flying). I smashed the letter into the bottom of the shaft, and this supposedly "destroyed" it. However, I had a part of it still in my hand, and the text on it had changed into a message aimed it me: the letter could only be destroyed at the right time and in the right place, and presumably, by the right person. No shortcuts. I couldn't just skip three 3-hour movies and finish the whole plot in 10 minutes. Someone else had to actually complete the entire journey.

One last scene involved having to make out with a girl who had questionable mouth hygiene, and a few other details I don't care to write down here.

Tonight I remembered 3 dreams, but I’m a lazy bastard so I will write down the most interesting one. Anyway, it passed a lot of hours so I have holes in my memory.

I don’t remember the beginning of this dream. I was with pretty woman (she was my friend but I don’t know her from real life) on unspecific place, probably in some kind of city in middle of night. She ran forward maybe 20-30m from me.
-Hey, wait for me! – I said
She looked at me and gaily smiled. I approached to her.
-You know… I very like you. Very – she said.
-I feel same way to you. You are very special for me.
-Really?
-Yea!
I looked at her smiling face and grabbing her shoulders. She had long light-brown hairs and thick eyebrows. I saw streetlight reflecting in her blue eyes.
-What do you think about date tomorrow? – I asked
-It looks great!
I started to feel weird, very strong and nice feeling and my rushing heart. “Wow that must be a feeling of love. I never felt that before” I thought. My girlfriend grab my hand and we climbed on nearby hill. To the end of dream I was observing this new feeling.
The most interesting thing in that dream is that I was very aware of my feelings. It wasn’t a lucid dream nor even half lucid. But I was aware of that strong feeling. I almost started to meditate.

I'm getting married. Scene is similar to SP and GP's wedding from last October. Grass is vivid green. I see who is meant to be the father in law up ahead, but I don't recognize him.

Captured at Not-Nazarick
I'm my best friend D's den at his parent's house. My uncle K has been shot multiple times in the head with a pistol but he isn't going down. I can see fleshy material where the bullet went in. They keep shooting him. They test talking to him and he isn't coherent anymore, but doesn't go down. Some time later I'm hiding in a side bathroom that isn't normally there (it's normally in a different off-shoot of the room). I try to call 911 but get interrupted. The captors take me upstairs where D's room normally is, and it is outfitted as a 'hacker's room'. There are two hackers there and they have multiple monitor setups. They also have keyboards that virtually scroll vertical, and they explain that this makes them type faster. They tell me my 911 call is pointless because they blocked it. For some reason, the team of captors remind me of the staff of Nazarick from the anime Overlord (they aren't the characters though). We go to the foyer downstairs and they all crowd there. Apparently they have decided to let me go. There is an emotional goodbye (the leader reminds me of my friend JV) and then I leave through the front door.

I'm running through a gloomy version of my neighborhood with overgrown grass and deep dark green colors. I end up running through a random house through an open window, observe the living room while running, and leave through another open area without stopping. It is similar to how I was doing it in the Woods Nightmare dream. I was worried about waking the owners of the home as I ran through. I end up on a high patio, and I have the feeling that I am being tracked. The dream overall is scary, but doesn't have the same sense of dread as a nightmare.

No recall. I usually wake with something but I've been bad about writing things down. Sharing a bed with a light sleeper makes recording a challenge. Haven't found a great solution yet.

I'm climbing a spiral medieval tower. JC from work is there. There is a conversation about legacy somewhere in there.
