I had a dream which was sort of lucid. I was aware of some things, but I was still really connected to the dream's story line and didn't even think to abandon it and complete my goals.


Teleportation and Time Travel

I was driving through an unfamiliar big city (dream sign). I came up on a big hill and started to go down. I realized that I couldn't reach the brake. I also realized that I wasn't even in the drivers seat. What was I doing driving a car from the passengers side (another dream sign!)?? The car was picking up speed. I would soon reach the bottom of the hill and crash if I couldn't get to the brake. I stretched my leg. My foot kept getting caught on things in the way. Finally when all seemed lost, my foot touched the brake pedal, and I was able to apply pressure until I stopped.

I decided that I really didn't want to be driving here in this big city. I needed to go back home. But then I looked over and saw that I was about a block or two from the ocean. Suddenly Tanya was with me. I said, "Let's go walk on the beach for a few minutes before going back, shall we?"

I made a left turn to try to find a place to park, and we were suddenly on foot. We walked past all these cool looking restaurants. I wanted to go in one, but decided to do that on the way back. We continued to walk. I noticed we were both pushing baby strollers. I think it was little Charles in mine. Not sure who the other baby was.

As we got closer to the beach the shops were further apart, less fancy and looked a lot more run down. A guy came out of one as we approached. He held up some things he was selling. It reminded me of being in a foreign country. I told him I wasn't interested in buying anything. Suddenly he pulled the strollers (and us) into his shack and handcuffed the strollers to a pole. I was feeling quite afraid. I don't know why I didn't think to scream for help. But then I realized something. I'm lucid, I thought. (I wasn't lucid enough to create a whole new dream scene, but I was lucid enough to know I had power over the situation). I told Tanya to grab my hand and close her eyes, and I would get us out of there.

I pulled us all close and closed my eyes and transported us back to the busy shop area. Not only did I do that, but I had transported us back in time by a couple hours--so the bad guy wouldn't come after us.

It was such a feeling of accomplishment. I knew I had never done anything quite like that in my dreams before.

I think I lost lucidity after that. I remember meeting up with Jacob and looking at things in one of the shops.

Theft from the forges

I entered a forge in an old village. Suddenly I realised that someone would steal something soon. I looked all around and saw an old man taking a huge anvil in his hands and going out. I took two axes out of my pockets and showed them to the man. Everyone in the building reacted, telling me to hide the weapons. I've done it and went away.

Blood

I remember a part of a dream where my brother was trying to make me bleed badly but i was sure he would not do it. My arm started bleeding out some jelly like substance but when I wiped it off i was fine.

Lethargic

I was walking on the sidewalk where my house is and saw a African man walking in my direction. It looked like he appeared out of no where. He was carrying a net filled with coconuts and i got the feeling he came from the beach. Also he had a buzz cut and was wearing denim overalls. I ran but was slower than him so he caught up to me and i think that's when he said he wanted to give me a coconut. I took one but than gave it back to him and ran to my house.

I got stuck in between a goat and some other animals though that were on the stairs of the porch. Someone pulled me out or i got out though and made it inside my house but it looked different.That is when my mom came in and told me she would comfort me. She morphed into another lady though. "I'm not sad." I told her but than she said I didn't have to hide it and hugged me. "Is this about finding a new dream guide?" I thought.

Than she took me into a room where my cousin was. My cousin was spraying her hair with a bottle of hair dye and soon her whole look was changing. First hair grew out and changed to red but than it became long and a grayish white. "I need to stop spraying myself with this. Its making me lethargic." she said. I thought she overdid it cause her whole face changed too.Than I woke up.

Futuristic Mall

[In the beginning of this dream I was at a park with a few game characters trying to escape a missile from hitting me.But than the scene changed.]

I was now inside a facility that i thought was a resort where people on trips would go. My co workers were present and i said hello to them. But than I had a sudden urge to go to the bathroom. I was told by a woman behind a desk, with medium length black hair and a bored face, that she had the key to the bathroom. She gave me a brown key and mentioned how she didn't talk much either.I told her I didn't talk much at times but there were still times I talked a lot as I was walking away. She gave me a serious look or was it a bored stare, idk but I felt like she didn't like me much. I said she was right about me being quiet like her at times than ran off to go to the bathroom. But I ended up bumping into my younger brother.

He needed help catching something in the air. For some reason I started flying in the air as I tried to catch the thing he wanted and felt like I was in trouble. I called for help than a really tall man near us offered to help us. My younger brother told me to hold onto the really tall man so i did. Then I held onto the wall as I climbed down. When I got down I saw an old friend of mine and other people. The setting now changed to what seemed like a futuristic mall. There were white stairs in front of us with covers on each step. I tried to go under but than stopped because i couldn't fit." Is this for kids?" I asked. MY old friend said yes and that I had to take the ride up.

It was a white curvy handle. I held it and suddenly it extended and I was pulled up into the air and flying up and around and i felt like the machine made me do a loop like a roller coaster. I landed on the platform wondering where the guy with the yellow juice in his hand was. Another machine ended up putting him down where i was than the juices he was carrying(the cups looked like clear cups you get from a fast food restaurant) fell down in front of us when he was placed down. " Aw, man...Forget it, I'll just buy us more." he said. I said okay than left with him to what was now supposed to be my new school apartment room. It looked like a really nice place. There was a teacher present telling us to prepare ourselves for the meeting. When she left others who were present left too so that's when i took the opportunity to try on a really long curly orange anime looking wig on i found in my suit case. It was in a high pony tail style.

For some reason that's the way I wanted to look in school now. After that I decided to change but than people started coming back too soon. So I sat at a table hoping someone would notice the change in my hair. But than I saw that i was wearing cute pajamas too and felt a little embarrassed. A boy who reminded me of Eye came up to me and said something weird and his friends and him laughed after that. I told him to be quiet than decided to look in a mirror. I now saw that my orange hair now looked black. But It needed to be fixed more so i decided to go to the bathroom. The place was now morphed into a cafeteria looking place filled with students. But it also had a mixed atmosphere of an abandoned city on an alien planet.

I walked looking for the bathroom entrance and saw a area where students received food and next to it was a door. I went through it and saw that i was now in a place that looked like a formal simple looking church. My old friend was there and she was trying to help little girls get in the right spot on stage by name. One little girl was crying saying that another girl stole her name. But my old friend mentioned that there was nothing to worry about because she will take the impostors, put them on line, than punish them when they say that their someone else. I was going to wait till they were done but decided i would jump past the seats and go to the other entrance. Which I did.

To my surprise the room wasn't really a bathroom. But a Chinese boy staring at a flower/fruit painting caught my attention. He was chubby and had one of his eyes covered with a hair bang.I walked closer to the painting he was looking at. As i was looking he mentioned something inappropriate. Than for some reason we were going to fight.
To my surprise the boy that looked like Eye was present too and was being a jerk. So i fought him too. But than he mentioned something about how he almost tricked me into taking a a bath with him. I told him that wouldn't work than suddenly he morphed into my dad." Ew! Get out of here!" I told him. Than I woke up.

New DG Search

I was in the city streets when suddenly a gang of guys mentioned how they were going to shoot people for fun. Others called them than I ran. But one of them dared a little boy to catch me.I realized it was a dream and pretended to be afraid. I imagined teleporting to my house and the little boy followed. Once he entered though I kicked him and made him disappear. I left the room after that and was told something by my brother. I think he wanted to lock me in a room but I said no.

I think that is when the scene shifted and I was now in a classroom with my older brother, his friend and little children. One of the kids were writing on the tables so i told him to stop and to clean up his mess. But he just laughed and ran to a different part of the room. I got a wet paper towel and started wiping the table but than got distracted by my brother and his friend. We ended up hitting each other with paper balls like were playing some game. After that I said I was going to leave and ended up in a city where my old friend was present.

"Ohh....right....This is a dream..." I said to myself. There were plenty of people walking around in the city but it wasn't crowded. "Lets look for my new dream guide!" I told some people around me. They were okay with helping me out so I started shouting "Who wants to be my new dream guide!!?" as I was walking and the other were shouting "Who wants to be her dream guide!?". A tall big orange looking women came to us and said how she only guides little girls. That maybe I had to find someone of the other gender. I told her I wasn't a little girl and told her my age. She said okay than i think she left or followed us. We kept walking and shouting the same thing.

That was until I decided to take it to a different direction."Maybe I should try a wolf dream guide. Lets try looking for a wolf dream guide!" I said. I followed the others to inside a home that had the interior of a family house to the right but to the other side was a dark underground forest. The old friend of mine took my hand and was going to lead me into the forest."Wait! We should talk to the ones that are here first!" I said sort of scared to go in." I looked inside and saw little animals, even my parakeet Marisol, bathing in flower pots of dirt.Than I went into the kitchen and said hello to a group of wolf people who were eating raw meat. The mom was cooking some meat though. " Hey, does anyone here want to be my dream guide?" I asked. But no one responded. Than when I turned I saw my younger cousin taking away the meat from the wolf people. They began growling." You guys shouldn't eat meat!" She said as she was taking it away from them and putting it into a clear bag.

"No! Put it back! Your making them mad!" I shouted at her. That's when I flew out of the house and the others followed. The wolf people chased us out than the mom wolf person saw her sister walking in the street. "Your late." she said. The sister wiped her mouth a bit. I sort of got the feeling she was hiding something and just came back from being drunk. The sister than apologized for being late and I woke up.

There is a scene change and I am now looking at Sensei's dream journal, which is quite a large book, which when opened reveals that for this lucid dream that was 1.10 hrs or 110 mins long Sensei has decided go draw the entire dream. I browse through several large fully illustrated pages. On the first page is Sensei himself like on a large poster, it looks like a mix between a very good drawing and a computer manipulated picture with really cool colors. He is wearing a sort of anime style/futuristic adventure outfit. The whole journal entry comes to life and now looks like a youtube video. In the meantime, the real Sensei comes in the room and starts to voice synch the journal entry that now's playing.

It took so long to recall enough of this dream to write something...

[dream]
I am in a city looking like on the "stadt" Minecraft map but it's not blocky. Buildings, cars, etc. look like they would IRL. I'm walking the streets and don't meet any people. After some time I came across two cars that crashed on the crossroad and saw four bodies laying on the street. I got away from there as fast, as I could. I felt for a while like someone was following me. When the feeling vanished, I started to peacefully walk the streets again. Later I came to some place with cranes lifting something and knew the city region is ending soon, so I stood there. The dream has ended soon.
[/dream]

Non-lucid
I'm at my house, with a tiny man who was carved out of a carrot. He reminds me of an "elf on the shelf" doll, except he's much smaller. He can fit in my palm.
I'm sitting at the kitchen table, watching videos on the laptop of strange creatures attacking people. For some reason, Carrot Man is in all of these videos.
I start to gnaw on Carrot Man, then realize my lower teeth hurt. I touch them, and they wiggle and hurt.
I look outside the big windows in the kitchen to see the entire backyard has flooded with light red water. Dad walks in, and looks out the window and sighs, obviously irritated. "It's flooded... I've never seen the creek up so high. It comes all the way up to our house!"
"I hope Cali is somewhere far away from this."
"I have no doubt she is." He walks away. I continue watching my videos for a little while with Carrot Man, until Mom walks in with groceries. I walk over to her to help.
Then, I wake up.

I've noted a few locations in my dreams that have occurred more than once, and occur at random. I don't choose to go there, they are presented to me. Unfortunately, most of these places don't come to me anymore, and are only here by memory.

Cartoon Temple Track

As best as I can describe it, it is a temple-themed water "ride" that is a bit cartoon-like in art. In one dream, I explored it for the first time. In another dream, I visited the same place, but knew where all the "easter eggs" were (in video game terms) because I created that place.

Cheaply-Made Video Game Level

This one is really basic. It has a solid black floor, and is a rectangular room, with a sort of figure 8 floor plan.



I knew it was cheap because I could glitch to the top of any wall and shoot below. Also there was bots. There is no roof, and the outer barrier was a cityscape.


And most recetly:
An England Town

And I know how vague that sounds, but this picture looks EXACTLY like what I'm picturing in my dreams.



Picture this scheme for the buildings, only that the buildings are literally duplicates of each other, all around town. It is shaped a lot like the video game level, except bigger, and more detail. Not just flat walls, but actual buildings. Also different from this picture was a lack of cars, or I don't remember their being cars. Keep in mind I've never been to England, nor seen this picture before today.

The first dream I entered this place, the entire dream took place here. There were people walking down the streets. I assume there are streets, but I have yet to get a real good look of the ground. Anyways, the dream started with me playing marbles with a couple other kids if I remember correctly (also I'm 20, but likely not in the dream). I heard a bang, and I see one of the buildings are on fire and people are screaming, people start running away from it, I run too. I hear another explosion, more screaming? I don't remember. But as I turned around, every other building was on fire. Smoke filled the air and it had a reddish orange tint.

Just last night, the dream I was having had no resemblance. At one point though, I was exiting a grocery store, and the doors opened up to this England town, no fire, no damage. It's like my dreams were giving me a cameo of my other dream, as this is where the dream ended.

I will definitely update this post if I happen across any familiar locations.

Morning of May 19, 2015. Tuesday.



Scenes in dreams like the following, related to digging through something like a couch, the floor, or a mattress, have not been that uncommon throughout my life since childhood but are usually fairly different in detail. Also, finding stuff in our house that had been left behind by any previous tenants or landlord (not necessarily requiring any digging in every case) is also recurring - though again, with different details, including previously “hidden” rooms or furniture we somehow had not noticed before. In addition to the fair amount of time spent in-dream looking for and finding things, there is often a mild sense of disappointment as well as having wasted time in some cases upon waking; a mood I usually do not acquire from a dream. In fact, as a child, when I did not know any better, I had a habit of holding onto the last item I found steadfastly in a futile attempt to wake up with it and have it in reality, though obviously, that never worked. I sometimes woke gripping my pillow or the sheet; other times just making a fist.

This dream has the recurring “couch filled with dirt” situation. My wife and I are in our present home on W Street and at one point I develop a vague curiosity about what may have been left behind by any previous tenants. It does not make all that much sense due to the fact that the couch, of the type that becomes a bed by the back dropping down (rather than the type we have in reality that folds out into a larger bed from under the seat) - and of the kind I had in Florida as a teenager for a time - is apparently our furniture in my dream (and thus moved here from a previous house regarding any in-dream back story, rendering my dream’s situation invalid). I start by ripping back the material near one end and digging through the dark dirt filling. At some points, I am able to go around the edges near the floor and find more items. Apparently, unlike in reality, there are no cushions; just “dirt bedding” within that goes all the way down to the floor.

What I find is typical of my in-dream “treasure hunts”. I find a few old random paperback novels; some science-fiction, some romance, and even a western or two (all unfamiliar). I find a couple board games that likely have missing tokens. There are some old magazines, larger documents that look like order blanks from A4-sized catalogs, but not any comic books that I can see. Being buried in rich soil for however long has not ruined anything, it seems. I eventually notice what may be some of our own paperback books (and some other items) close to the wall but behind the couch and stacked loosely on the floor, but am not exactly sure where our books end and the previously hidden items begin at one point since the dirt had become looser and some items came out from the back of the couch.

At one point, I find a longer mostly yellow commercial cardboard container (about one and a half feet by four inches high by eight inches wide) that apparently contains something related to sexuality or the enhancement thereof, though there are no graphic images on the box, just a few printed images of smooth paintings of the backs of a pair of female hands. For a short time, I think that I would probably not want something that belonged to someone else in this case, though the box turns out to be empty other than having two smaller additional featureless gray empty cardboard boxes inside. I am not sure what was in it - possibly only perfume containers or massage oils of some sort.

Eventually, after sorting out mostly the paperbacks into stacks, I also find a number of children’s cardboard frame tray puzzles farther down but do not see the pieces at first (just the shallow cardboard trays). I do eventually find most of the pieces in another area when almost all of the dirt has been moved and I am down to the surface of the wooden floor. One puzzle seems to just utilize a large piece with a drawing of a person’s head that fits in the frame tray (which has minor details of the shoulders and neck, etc.), though others are more complex and “realistic” in nature and including pieces shaped like stars, apples, houses, etc. I notice that some of the pieces have been ruined by someone’s attempt to pull the different layers apart (as younger children sometimes tend to do), some with thin parts of the layers or strips still attached and a couple missing the imagery ply. I decide to keep them to sort out later (for our children) to see which ones are still complete and undamaged.

After a long exploration and setting aside newly found items, I am somewhat frustrated over having reached the wooden floor via the couch, wondering if I should keep going with my quest, though which would require pulling up the planks to get to anything underneath them (which does not make any sense as in reality our house is up on posts and you can actually see through the floorboards to the ground below). I am also puzzled over what had happened to all the dirt since the couch seems somewhat “hollow” at this point (at least on one end) and I do not see any piles of dirt nearby. I do start to smooth over what dirt is left at the other end in the attempt to make the couch “solid” and evenly surfaced as it was, so that it is properly comfortable again. (This is somewhat illogical as the upholstery I had ripped and damaged in my quest would still need to be repaired.)

Finally, I seem to be able to look down under the house and beyond (towards the back of our house) and under a different room; some sort of odd viewpoint that would not be possible in reality (though which may otherwise imply some sort of open space between the lower part of the wall in the next room and the floor, similar to the setup way back on Rose Street as a young child). I see that there are a very large number of small wooden containers under the house in a (fictional) enclosed storage area, each filled with a very large number of vertically arranged seed packets, which I am aware are likely mostly edible plants including carrots, celery, lettuce, strawberry plants, and so on. I start to consider planting them everywhere and anywhere, as there are so many, we are bound to get something edible over time, and for a long time, as there seem to be thousands of packets. I wake up feeling slightly annoyed at having wasted time finding everything.

A lot of dream snippets from this morning:
I'm on my scooter and get on a single lane highway by crossing a grassy median. I start to get up to speed when I realize that I'm driving into oncoming traffic! I make a u-turn and get back to the other lane across the median. Again, as I'm starting to go faster I realize I'm against traffic flow. I feel frustrated and anxious, but don't think to RC.
---
Maybe I'm on a bicycle? S and I are in woods/jungle on a dirt trail. We end up going to a rickety old wooden house to lodge for the night. It's an open floorplan and many other people are staying in the same house. We have a bed in the middle of the floor and it's odd to be sharing this space with so many other people. It ends up costing us around $500 and I comment that it's pretty pricey for what we are getting!
---
I'm at R's helping him with something. I'm on the floor somehow mashed between a coffee table and a wall with barely any room to move. A comes in and I'm relieved that I'm obviously nowhere near R so she won't think that I'm being too close to him. I didn't wake to record this so most of this dream memory is gone.

I went on a road trip with my aunt and uncle. We stopped in a city parking lot behind a hotel while my uncle took care of some thing in the van while I went inside the hotel to eat.

I sat down on a table in the lobby of the hotel, whose interior looked really nice with lots of gold chandeliers and wall decorations and column trims and a lot of velvet carpeting. the table itself was made from dark wood. An Asian couple was sitting in front of me. I was served (without even asking for anything) a plate of fish-looking rings on top of some lettuce leaves.

I took one bite and instantly spit it out. It was some of the most bitter food I had ever tasted. All of a sudden Chef Gordon Ramsay came up next to me and asked me what was wrong. After I told him about the fish rings he tasted a pinch of it and said, "that's absolutely terrible." then the Asian couple tasted a bit with the same reaction.

That meal made me leave the hotel, and when I got back my uncle told me about a puppy Great Dane with a spotted coat that they had which they knew was going to die.

We kept driving down a barren road and we bumped into my programing teacher driving the other way. we stopped to talk (in the middle of the road because, again, it was really barren) and I told him about the puppy that was going to die. He started to cry while carrying him in his hands.

After meeting up with him we somehow found my physics teacher and stopped by in a gas station. We all went inside and my physics teacher called me over to the women's restroom. Once inside I found that my aunt was also in there and they were both ready to jump scare my uncle, which they (somehow) knew was coming.

That's all I remember...

It has been a while...mostly due to that my dreams have been bland, until recently. I have more time now to work on lucidity too

Had a dream that I was trying to find the world of Harry potter or the world of witchcraft and wizardry. I was standing on what seemed to be a ledge on a castle top as I waved down at three characters who had to be Ron, Hermione, and Harry of course. I waved at them but something seemed off, the kind of just drifted as the stood there and I could see slight facial movement of smiles but my eyesight seemed off. I then jumped down from the castle ledge to greet them but ended up flying on a broom stick across a quidditch field, before the quidditch field view of each of the house bleachers/stadium seating I remember seeing a couple characters gathering some equipment from a car parking lot near a grocery store and their outfits were not fitting for what I would call wizardry. One of the guys I saw was wearing bright orange and it was really ugly. I took a quick glance shrugged it off and then flew over a horizon of buildings both magical and muggle. Never found out why Harry, Ron, and Hermione were just standing there outside of Hogwarts in a circle just staring at each other.

I then woke up to a voice that sounded mad at me, I was still slightly dreaming. The dream voice was mad because I had a decent dream that I could remember and this dream antagonist hates it when I have dream worth-while which is hardly ever. He carried on by calling me a fake emo by staring me eye to eye and then I woke up completely. It could have been peeves or some poltergeist, just saying...

edit: Also before I woke up all the way. I had some dream flashes, one of them there was a green flash, like the one Harry potter would describe...and then after the flash I remember seeing Donald Duck scream and runaway. Could there have been a slight notion of a Harry Potter, Kingdom Hearts, Disney Crossover, because that would be freaking awesome if I could dream about that.

I was walking down the living room to enter the garage. I open the garage door and turn on the lights to see my father head appearing out of it. I'm shock to see him as his body completely emerges to the living room. I quickly catch on that I am dreaming. I begin opening the front door, but I could hear my father and brother having a conversation in the kitchen. So I decided to listen in, in till going out the back door.

The sky was sunny with some clouds, I can see two kids playing with something that looks like a tree branch. I then started walking on the field, the area actually look recognizable to me. But as I continue to walk further in the fields it's routes began to change. I soon reach the end, I could see a wooden house with a car park outside. A road was the only way I could continue moving forward. Then I soon could hear my father and brother voice from a distance.

I ran to them to say I'm dreaming. My brother laughs and tells me that we should go back. They continue to walk toward the house, deciding now that I should make an attempt to prove my claim. I got my brother attention when I told him to look at my fingers, I only have 4 and they were oddly shape. My brother turns around and observe my fingers. That's when I turn my head to see 3 people walking near the fields. One resemble a character from TTT2.

As walk over to them, I notice one of them had fallen down. Before I could help them up, the sky begins to rain over everything. That is when the scene change in to be inside father room. There were other people also here with a look on their face that stated they were angry. I notice I was begin to feel a lot of symptoms. My face had saliva pouring my head and mouth and I could not stop twitching. Someone ask me to stop doing that but it was difficult for me to speak.

I went toward the bathroom mirror to see what was happening to my face. I saw that half of my face was covered in a white foam and my eyes kept trying to turn to the back of my head on their own, Despite my eyes movement this didn't change the direction of my vision for the dream. I came out and told everyone sorry and lost lucidity. I then have an FA. Lucidity Time: 7 minutes

Don't have very good recall about the non lucid and some lucid parts. I know there was a non lucid dream I had at the beginning but I can't remember it at all.

Dream 1

Non Lucid dream that I can't remember.

Dream 2

(Don't recall if there was a non lucid part to it in the beginning.)
- I was viewing a stage with a large blue blanket and white small stars all around it. We were inside a theater i think and i was viewing all this in first person.I followed a group of men in casual clothing going to the back of the stage. I thought this wasn't going to end well and the man was going to get shot. But he didn't. The group of men and a old guy were just looking at small t.v. screens.There was a brown/tan colored dog following one of the men too. The scene than shifted and I was on a bed in my brother's room. It was dark and i decided to call Dawn or Eye. But they didn't come. A dc girl pretending to be a ghost tried scaring me but i stomped on her and told her to be quiet.[Not a good idea] She said she would stop than the scene changed into a close up of a toy capsule machine. There were colorful small bears moving out of the machine. I woke myself up because things were getting too weird.

Next Dream

I was inside a room at work and was about to be replaced with a man. I told him he wasn't going to get my job though because his eyes were clear and had a purple iris.
- I knew I was dreaming so i floated around the place and ended up in a yard somehow. I felt like I found a spot where someone was buried but didn't want to look further. After that something I don't recall happened and the next thing I know I'm looking at dreamviews. There is a notification that is red but it says MichaelAngelo 1 invitation. I found it ridiculous. Than the screen changed and showed a picture of toon links hiding and trying to catch stars. It was called Zelda Star Note. Someone who was apparently new to the forum wanted to use link to collect all the stars so that they could make a wish.
The person liked to use orange in their DJ.

Last Dream

My cousin wanted me to give her paper so that she could draw someone from a television show. I got her the paper and was thinking about how dumb the girls were acting in the show. After that I appeared on my bed so I bit my finger and noticed that it was a dream. I started calling Dawn and he came. He told me to do something but was acting really mean about it. I decided to get another dream character's help to change Dawn's attitude and also asked why he was acting that way. I ended up asking an old persistent dream character who was suppose to be Dawn's boss. He mentioned that Dawn was acting like that because he was out of it and that i needed to use something to cure him. He took the veggies he was chopping and put it inside a book with a small clock and told me to give it to Dawn.I decided to just roll with it and gave it to Dawn. Dawn seemed a bit confused but at the same time started playing around with me. Like twirling me around, laughing and other stuff i can't recall. After that I reappeared on my bed and wanted to wake up but I couldn't move. It felt like SP because I felt like my eyes were slightly open but i couldn't move. I than reappeared on the bed again and was holding a transparent laptop. But still couldn't move. I decided to wait it out and eventually woke up.

First lucid dream I've had in nearly a year!

Two friends and I are starting a long trip, and the first step is taking a train to the airport. The train is very crowded, but we manage to find three seats together. It's late and night and both of my friends immediately doze off. I'm too worried about losing track of my bags if I fall asleep. I have my backpack, but I also have a couple of shopping bags filled with magazines and envelopes containing important documents. Why didn't I just put the important stuff in the backpack? It would have been so much easier! I rummage through the bags and find a large carabiner. I use it to clip the shopping bags to my backpack. There's a kid who comes up to me to ask what I'm doing. I try to give him a curt answer and send him away, but his mother sits next to me and won't stop talking.

I find myself in an antiques store in the city with the mother. We need some information, and I decide that the store clerk needs to look up an registry and print it out for us. There's a table with a plexiglass top and several dry-erase markers sitting nearby. I think the clerk will have an easier time looking up our information if I write down the names she needs to look up. But my attempt to write "registry" comes out as "S J" in an elaborate font. I stare at it and can't imagine that I wrote something that complex. The woman starts yelling at me, asking how stupid I am if I can't spell our names. I tell her, "I'm sorry. Sometimes when I'm dreaming, I have trouble writing." I look at her, then look at the clerk as it sinks in: this is a dream! I try to remember if I had any goals in mind, but come up empty. The only thing that comes to mind is that I want ice cream. So I march through the store entrance, which turns into a hallway in an old Victorian house. I pass several rooms looking for a kitchen, but it seems I'm out of practice at staying lucid. I get distracted by a parlor room full of people.

Morning of May 18, 2015. Monday.



I am in an unknown area, seemingly in late morning, near a small wooden cattle fence but which does not seem very high. However, at times, it seems I am inside my present home on W Street and outside in this unfamiliar area at the same time though it does not seem like a bilocated setting, only ambiguous.

I notice a very unusual bird walking around on the other side of the fence (and in conscious afterthought it looks much like a bittern but the coloring is wrong and it seems unnaturally “stretched” and thin). Upon seeing this unexpectedly unusual bird that I do not recall ever seeing before, I want to show it to members of my family. I start yelling the names of my two youngest sons and my wife Zsuzsanna but there is no response (and my voice sounds quite loud to me). I can see the feet of my second youngest son through a doorway as it seems he is lying on a bed reading (again, it seems as if I am outside and inside my house at the same time though looking through the other doorway of my “house”). I continue to yell their names, becoming a bit frustrated that no one is responding.

Finally, they all come out but by this time the bird is farther from the fence though still visible. I get the impression (though not correct) that it is some kind of ibis and say this aloud, but pronounce it like “ee-bus”, so I start to think that maybe the bird is not that rare or unusual after all. The members of my family do not seem that impressed by the bird.

Meanwhile, this extremely unusual-looking man in our “yard” and who is wearing what reminds me of a Canadian Mountie hat, remains motionless (and slightly leaning forward) and gazing at two extraordinarily odd-looking twin young girls on the other side of the fence (yet none of these people had been seen just moments before). They all seem unrealistically ugly, looking almost like troll dolls (though more naturally human-like). Either the man is making fun of their appearance by somehow making his face look like theirs (and I do not consider how this would not actually be possible), or the girls can manipulate how someone else’s face appears (equally impossible) as well as somehow “freezing” the person they are gazing at (though not necessarily turning them to stone). I am not quite certain which is the case even in conscious afterthought though I am somewhat wary of going near the fence to get a better look at the bird because I also vaguely remember something about Stheno and Euryale, the Gorgons. There seems to be an offset scene where the girls make their faces completely blank (with no eyes, nose, or mouth) and the man seems in distress as his face becomes blank. He pulls his hat down while also seeming to pull at his hair as he seems to be bending forward more, perhaps against his will. The mother of the girls is nearby but her appearance is seemingly normal. Nothing much happens after this, just an unexplainable sense of caution.

Unusual-looking or unidentifiable large “exotic” birds, though often with heron, egret, stork, or bittern attributes, are a fairly common feature in some dream types since early childhood. They often consistently have the same unusual mood or essence that is not present in other dream types.
