I become lucid, now I don't know where am I. It seems to be a park, some kind of broadwalk. There was a chair, I stand here thinking what should i do, I didnt seen far away, it was night. and there was only a few lamps ,but after 10-20 meters theres no lamps, only the void. Then seconds after I realize thats a dream , a classmate comes, I dont like him, he's not even my friend. So he came here and we start to talk about that its a dream. Then I float him up in the air with telekinesis so I prove him that its a dream. He says he knows, I continue , I plan to kill him. we laugh because its funny for some reason that I use telekinesis. Then he says "stop , or we wont be able to go". It seems he already knew that its a dream ,actually he never said that its not. I say "where?" And he says "back to the day it has all begun". Then I see a black screen in my vision. Then he asks where to go , and somehow I sense out the date of "the day when it has all begun" I was tipping around 2003 , 2004 then it becomes clearer. Its 2003 , september 9. "The first day I began school in x (in reality I wanted to say y but idk why I couldnt , I didnt even wanted to g o to 2003 but 2009 because consciously I thinked that it was the date). Here we go. the screens gone, me and my classmate's still in the same park , but now there are more lights, and actually a city outside the park. We walk out in short time, I realize its the city I live in . Then I realized that it would fuhkk siht' up if I meet with myself, which was obviously not possible because it was late night. Actually Idk if it was 1 am or around 10 pm. Then we were gone to some place, at this point my memory becomes foggy, so I skip now. After we did what we needed to do we gone into the future, I dont know the date , its around 10 years after I finished the school I am in now. I had some kind of office job and also a delivery job, I needed to handle out these documents, before the day ended , it was 11 pm. I had one hour to do this job. The rules was these: Office job is something I always have to do, but if I want extra money I can accept those "contracts" where I handle out documents to places ,peoples ,corporations and doing further operations with these documents or just simply giving it . But If I fail to handle out a contract like this before the end of the day then somebody else will get the job and I get no money for it. The place was nice, I was surrounded by nice people, they were friendly and there were wonderfull woman. According to this dream, we were working till midnight, and always before the day ended we grouped , sit down and speak about the day etc, while drinking some coffe. It felt wonderfull, just something I always wanted. A calm job. We sat down and started to speak ,I was speaking with a woman about the things I had to do in the day then she said that i have a contract and that I have only half an hour left . I was like "nevermind, I wouldn't run out like crazy just because a contract in this time of the day, it doesnt matter . I missed it , thats it." Then I remembered that the contracts destination was near . So I was thinking about should I do it or not. While this the workers ended our little groupie talk, and started to pick up things and go home, I saluted them, and then choosed to go. I was approaching my car when the dream ended. Interesting.
I was on a beach. There was a cement breakwater out to sea. It was very cold and snowing a little bit as well as overcast. There was a film crew here, and I was playing a role in a movie. It was being directed by my old Spanish teacher from middle school. Supposedly this had something to do with making sure that every scene was filmed twice. Once in English and once in Spanish. DawnEye11 was there. She looked sort of like the drawing she sent me, with a purple dress and a ponytail on one side. I don't think any of her guides were there though. We had a scene together where we were supposed to talk about [something, I think it was related to lucid dreaming]. I remember I kept on thinking she was Manei for some reason and kept asking her if she was Manei. She kept on saying no. We were helping one another out in some way other than just talking. I think I had to talk with her father or something since she was scared to talk to him because he was mad. I don't remember if he was actually mad or it was just a part of the movie. I then realized that if I was looking for Manei than I must be dreaming. I became lucid right around the time we finished filming the scene. DawnEye11 thanked me for being in the scene of the movie. As it turned out she was the one who had written it as an autobiographical story of how she became a lucid dreamer. The film crew started to pack up and leave. Manei then came out of the water in a swimsuit. (WTFudge why are you in a swimsuit it's snowing) She started talking dirty and I told her I was in no mood for that, and I wanted to learn how to stabilize my dreams better. I lost the dream and woke up. I feel like there was so much more to the part about Dawneye11 in this dream. I can't remember it though. WBTB I got some semi lucid dream. Me, S and his brother were at a big boy restaurant. S had this giant platter of sandwiches and was eating from it. We started talking about how our cartoon characters often have color motifs. We were trying to match up characters who had similar motifs. We got into a discussion about two of our characters and what would happen if they got into a fight. One you might be familiar with, Raiah who is one of my characters. We'll just call the character that S was talking about L, since he uses the name of a real person. Raiah and L are both Cyborgs. They both rely on heavy weaponry and what not. The fight started to manifest in the dream. They were in this large room made up of dark grey panels, like an aperture science test chamber was what it made me think of. It was dimly lit. The two started fighting in hand to hand combat. L started flying around the room using his tether and Raiah was flying around firing on him with dual pistols. The dream faded into a waking daydream that carried on for another minute as I woke up.
3.14.15 Last night bed at 9 pm - 3:40 am Throwing chairs My new roomate says: "I got some new furniture, clother, and snakes so I can start snakecharming". Me: WUT? You have them here now? So he shows them to me. He has 2 snakes on his arm. I'm telling him no way, and not to get any closer. But the idiot is inching forward. I pick up a chair and with legs towards him, I hold it up. He keeps advancing, so I throw it at him. He is asking, if I have seen any more dorcile snakes. I look closer. One is like a reddish baby corn snake the other one blackish, also a baby. They are non-poisonous and very calm. I agree, they are nice, but... I see them just fine from here. He keeps coming closer, and I keep picking up chairs and throwing them at him. Now one snake bites him, and it looks like a sting would a bee would make, with the stinger still attached. Exactly like in the documentary I watched yesterday. Laundry I spilled some water in laundry basket. Now some white things have red on them, and some red things are bleached. I'm pulling it all out trying to clean up the mess. Someone, a former classmate z. is asking me if I spilled red wine while I'm trying to rinse them out.
Morning of March 14, 2015. Saturday. My dream starts out seemingly in the house in Wavell Heights. However, my oldest son is there as he appears now. At one point, there is something about loosely squinting a certain way at a television or computer monitor and somehow altering the appearance of the imagery on the screen including for anyone else who is also looking at it. It is a nonsensical concept but seemingly works in my dream. At one point, I look at a few rows of writing on the screen and it all comes together in a brighter white block. Other members of my family notice other changes on the screen as I use this supposed natural ability. I look through a large colorful magazine which seems dynamic, with small animations on some of the pages. It includes information about various computer games as well as possibly ordinary board games. There is something about a maze-like game or long-term quest with spirals; the spirals seem infinite yet still part of some sort of goal regarding the completion of at least some of them. As I look at the image on the upper-left of the page, an animated demonstration shows new spiral-like paths appearing between others. I do not question how images could be moving on the page of an otherwise normal magazine. Later, I look out the window. I am aware that there is some sort of attack that is beginning that involves modern jets bombing areas nearby (though I vaguely think of Pearl Harbor). However, this does not bother me at all (especially as the jets fly by far below and do not seem capable of flying anywhere near the height of where my apartment is) as I get the impression they will only bomb industrial areas and not near any residential areas. Apparently, I am in a very high building and I am looking down across a vast cityscape far below and beyond. It looks very unrealistic, almost like looking at a fairly flat model of a large urban area from an unlikely perspective. Because this seems “off” somehow, I decide to lean out the window as far as I can to see where I am. I look down and it seems I am at the top of an impossibly tall skyscraper as I manage to see parts of the outer walls that seemingly go several miles down to the ground. This skyscraper is so high, it is almost as if my view is from an airplane that is flying extremely high in the atmosphere. No other buildings are even close to the height of the building I am in, again, to where the rendering seems quite artificial. However, it still feels as if I am high above the landscape and the area below seems only vaguely like a miniature. In the distance and far below I see shipyards (and the ocean beyond) and various industrial areas. In some parts, the area looks quite flat though there are fence-like structures in some sections, and there are roads that unrealistically zigzag a bit. Parts of the layout are almost abstract yet mostly uniform overall. I feel very vivid yet do not attain lucidity regardless of the unrealistic nature of the regions below and beyond. There are even some areas that seem somewhat misty or incomplete.
I had something like a retrospection. I was applying for a teachers job in school. I was teaching a group of children. I tried my best, but somehow I used bad methods. Many years later children of that children I teached were going to school. I was their teacher. Through all the years much has changed in the society and ways people teach. Teachers started to use cruel methods. I was trying to stop it all. To do this I wanted to advertise good ways of teaching. I wanted to make a billboard, but the platform allowing me to do this has broken. The children were disappointed, and I felt like I lost miserably, and nothing can be done to help them.
Morning of March 14, 2015. Saturday. My dream is quite vivid but not lucid in any way. It is mostly like a typical intruder dream but not as annoying as usual and with at least one unusual feature. There is some sort of celebration taking place later at night near our home (where we presently live) out on the street. However, I do not see that many people. I see an unknown male and female (in blue jeans) sitting on the curb in front of our house and am aware of a few others who have strayed into a neighbor’s front yard. When I am in the front room (where my computer desk is), it is semi-dark, though I notice a male standing near the window looking out. He says he does not know how he got there and may be dazed from alcohol or drugs. His appearance in our house seems unexplainable, as if he somehow just walked through the outer wall (though he is not ghostlike). It seems he is undressed though he also appears like a younger, chubbier version of The Vulture (from Marvel Comics) and seems about thirty and with all his hair. However, the wreath-like area over his shoulders seems more like fur than feathers at one point. He is vaguely reminiscent of a Doctor-Seuss-like character though realistically human-like. He is not threatening in any way and again, seems somewhat confused and very passive. I help him find his way out of our house, though the porch seems to be more like the one on Loomis Street than our present one. There is a lot of clarity watching the few people outside later, from the correct layout of the front room, but there is no drama. This is the second dream recently, where another dream character appeared in a room as if having walked through an outer wall. There are often shared events or features between two or more dreams that are otherwise unrelated. It is possible that the “vulture man” may be meant to be a much more human-like version of The Cowardly Lion, though this is only an afterthought. This dream was visually precognitive in that a character from “The Lorax” (2012 version) I saw tonight was very reminiscent of the character in my dream on some levels (especially in distorted appearance). I had no idea that I would be watching that movie tonight and had not known much about it anyway (and the first image above was not changed after realizing the precognitive connection). This sort of dream-related experience is extremely common for me and there is always a sense of “knowing” (or contact with the Source) I cannot quite describe even though such events are very impersonal and trivial and seemingly pointless in many cases.

Currently, my dreams are thin, distant and hard to grasp…is it all slipping away from me? Of course there are distractions at the moment…work I have to do, health problems, maybe I’m losing some brain power as well. But, given some loss of name recall (I’ve always been like that anyway) my higher functions feel as sharp as ever… I think in depth, about many things, my writing is improving (albeit that’s also on hold right now) I have two more part-completed novels just waiting for me to resume and I have no feelings of writer’s block. But, at present, I can’t afford to get bogged-down in that…or my love of xbox gaming …which I’m still convinced altered some of my brain function just before I started trying for lucidity in mid 2013 because I had some very vivid dreams (plus two mind-blowing hypnagogic visions) So…not encouraging at the moment. But why would it be? Given that it requires a fair degree of nose-to-the-grindstone determination on my part (because that’s the only way it seems to work for me at my age.) I just can’t give that level right now. Down-hearted? Nope…not really. Everything’s just a bit distant at the moment but only just slightly over the horizon and what else can I expect right now? The main thing is that I don’t intend to just walk away from LD…I’m just ticking-over right now. I’m still looking for shortcuts…I have moves afoot to get some melatonin soon…I’m trying to clean up the pineal gland by diet and avoiding water pollutants like fluoride…OK that may just be a red-herring but it’s worth a try. It’s now 6 am and I’m back to bed. Perhaps the next dream will be closer…or maybe the one after that. Ed...can you hear me?

#421 - DILD - 5:20AM I wake at some point to use the toilet then fall back to sleep with mantra. Something about being at a church. Someone gets shitty with my and pisses me off so I leave. I am traveling with my kids and wife and we end up staying in an empty trailer house. I assume we have permission, but I worry about getting caught. I'm not really sure if we have permission afterall. I see headlights and watch a car drive up a hill to a huge mansion. I get a snapchat of my son with my younger sister and her family. I 'remember' she is babysitting him for a while. I decide to play Gameboy a little before bed. Someone yells at my older daughter. I think it was my mom. I look at my phone and see it's 11:45pm. She's crying so, I tell daughter that she has 15 minutes and then we have to get some sleep. I notice the sun coming up through a window and I say to daughter, "You know it gets light at midnight now?" She looks surprised, but says nothing "Yeah, that's right." I feel this is true statement, but I am not totally convinced so, just to be sure, I do a quick nose plug. I blow through, but I think I must have not plugged my nose enough. I squeeze harder, but still blow clean. I'm totally shocked so I do it a third and fourth time until I totally believe. I leave the bedroom at the end of the house and move back to the living room we were just in. It's dark outside again so I decide to play with punching at walls. When I connect, it feels like thick, soft rubber and makes no damage. I think it's kind of funny so I take several punches at the wall until I feel like my hand break through. However, when I remove my hand there is still no damage to the wall. I try the front door all to the same effect. I notice now that day light has return through the large bay window. I can see leaves on the brown grass outside and decide to use that as a visual focal point as I phase through the glass. I keep thinking that I had some goals I wanted to try, but I just can't recall. I decide to run up the hill to the huge mansion and it takes some time getting there. I feel strange in my eyes like I have them open too wide and I'm trying too hard to focus. I try to ignore this and purposefully don't think about waking up. As I am walking up the hill, I feel my eyes rolling up too far to see so I tilt my head back to adjust. At the top, The large mansion is now several super small houses. I wonder if anyone is around so I shout, "HEY!... HEEEEEYYYY!" No one shows. I start to enter one of the houses, but it's at this point that I suddenly wake up.
Torture I was inside some sort of game thinking about something about Dawn I think. But than i appeared inside a room with a T.V. An old cartoon series was playing and i think it was Scooby doo. I was thinking of the show as i wondered if i should go to bed. But when i turned i noticed there was a window and it felt like someone was watching me from the other side. A girl than came from around the wall as if our houses were connected and told me something. I asked her if she wanted me to rub lotion on her back but i don't recall why or if it was because i was afraid of her. I started to rub the lotion on her back and the back of her neck but she didn't let me finish as she was walking away. She said it didn't matter or something like that and went to see someone else. The scene changed after that and now i was somewhere else.Thoughts about something violent began to pop up.There was a game where people tortured others for fun in lucid dreams. Images of a box, a baby's head with red eyes and a knife is what i recall seeing.(There was a lot of red and black color of images too)My younger brother was apart of this game and ended up slicing off one of my arms. I wanted to get out of this game into a safer game but it felt far from my reach. A video of people playing the game appeared. There was a part of the game where you search for a black and white super Nintendo version of Mario. Apparently he is hiding a baby heads in a box and its a secret mission to find them and kill the mario. As all of that was happening i was listening to the ending of Death Parade. The part where it started at was "I feel so alone Afterwards i walked into the kitchen and my aunt,mom and cousin were there. My aunt announced that my younger cousin was pregnant. When i saw her she was wearing a kimono and had a cool hair style. I was sort of jealous but felt that my cousin used the pregnancy thing as a way to get out of loneliness. I felt it was the stupidest thing she could have ever done. My mom took her to her room to talk to her.But for some reason it felt like my room. When my mom told her to sit on her bed i told her not to because her kimono was dirty. My mom said i was being rude and to let her listen to her so she can find out why she did it. But i said no and something about her being a idiot i think. Than my cousin ran out the room and i heard a voice appear saying something about how someone got a knife so they could torture the lucid dreamers. I slammed the door afraid and it felt like my younger brother was going to kill me.I flew to the bathroom window and broke some of it with my arm. I tried narrating and flying myself out of the situation by saying "and than she flew far far away and got away." as i was sort of flying. But i felt something pull me back into a place with it. I think i was somewhere where i felt like i was going to be tortured like in the game for what i said. I ended up being stabbed i think but still felt like in a way i was safe and like the torture was sort of over. I didn't have to run anymore. Strangers I was with a few dream characters and one that appeared to be JadeGreen. We were trying to find something for Jade in order to win a game i think. But than Jade said he was going to go somewhere else in the dream because he wanted to find Manei and flew away. After that another scene began to form about a family that went on a trip to the beach. The dad was inventing something there but than the waters kept rising quickly and began to turn violent. Members of the families began to be taken into the harsh waters as i tried to get out the way. Suddenly people wearing blankets over their heads, that acted like monsters began to rise out of the ocean. Those swept away came out the water than ran from the monsters. I tried to run from them too but stopped and looked at the monster instead of going to the house. Because the scene began to change into my neighborhood.I told the family to not be afraid because the monster is my friend now. Than the monster started acting nicely and seemed more gentle. The family cheered and congratulated me for making the monster nice. I than went into my house with the family. When i got there my dad said to give food to the guests. I said okay and began to take some food and give it to a dc. I was doing my best to be as nice as i could. Than i went near the kitchen and in the corner of my eyes i could see someone standing on the stairs. I told the person to come out from the shadows nicely and it came out. I than grabbed soap and held it out to the girl that came out from the stairs. I was scared and told her that she could wash her face instead of her hands with it. But i was also doing my best to be brave. Than i went back to the living room and a voice of a boy came out of no where saying he was hungry.I decided to give him half of the food that i saw on the table and he happily accepted it. I woke up after that feeling pretty satisfied with myself.
I had another lucid dream last night. I'm super happy about that. I seem to be back on a roll again. I woke up at 3:00. At first I thought my alarm had awoken me and that it was actually 5:00. I was mentally preparing myself to get up, when I glanced down at the clock and was pleasantly surprised to see that I actually had time for a WBTB. I really felt my awareness was really good these days, so I was fairly sure that I didn't need to do a WILD to get a lucid dream. I was sure that something would trigger lucidity once in a dream. Dream: I was involved in doing something in this very large building. I recall isn't very good for the beginning of this dream. At some point I needed to use the restroom. I left the group of people I was with and found a restroom. I walked in. It was a huge room with a very high vaulted ceiling. Very fancy. I entered the first stall. Someone had gone poop and hadn't flushed it. How gross. I moved on to another stall. Same thing. It seemed strange to me that this beautiful very clean looking restroom was full of unflushed toilets. Things like that happened all the time in my dreams. Hmmm....this was a dream sign for me. What if this were a dream? It felt pretty real. Yet, I knew I was doing so well lately at catching my dream signs. I needed to at least do a reality check. I decided to try to float. Well, what do ya know. I was suddenly flying up to the high vaulted ceiling. Nice. Another lucid dream. I flew out of the bathroom and found myself in a courtyard full of people. I decided to find someone to fly with. I landed next to a guy. He looked to be in his mid to late 30's. He was nice looking with sandy blond hair that had some curl and either green or hazel eyes. He looked like an outdoorsy kind of guy with tan skin that was a little rough and some brow wrinkles. I asked him if he would fly with m,e and he said he would love to. But before we could take off I felt the dream fade. I was mad. This was way to short for a LD. I laid in bed for a second, not sure if I was really awake of if this was just a false awakening. I then willed myself back in the dream. The next thing I knew I was back in the courtyard. Yes. I did it. I looked around and couldn't find the guy I had been with. I was a little disappointed. But another guy caught my eye. He was tall with dark hair that was styled strangely, coming to a point in the front on one side. He looked to be in his mid to late 20's and was a bit over weight. He was wearing a cape and I figured he was into sci fi or Dungeons and Dragons or something like that. I asked him to fly with me. But he said something like, "If you think you can get a guy like me in the air, you must be crazy." I wasn't sure if he meant that he really didn't want to fly or if he didn't think I was capable to getting him in the air. But before I could find out I woke up.....for real.
I’m sitting on the end of a bed playing Pokemon on the TV across from me that’s on a black dresser - except I’m not using a remote, but my mind. I keep thinking that I need one to do certain things, but push on with my mind. I end up being able to do things I wouldn’t otherwise, like flipping over a wall and getting ahead to a town I wouldn’t have so soon otherwise. (I get déjà vu while thinking about that town, feeling like I had a similar dream before.) A guy comes in to talk to a woman who’s behind me somewhere, and I get self-conscious about my state of undress and discretely either put on a shirt or pull it down over my chest. May have been wearing what I went to bed in. Jump. Some bulky guy is trying to help me with a problem with Jazzy, I don’t want to have to do what he’s suggesting but it may be the only way, and I just want to help her. Jump. I’m flying along a quaint path with forest on either side and sometimes fences. I want to fly faster and suddenly realize that I can make that happen. ‘Faster, faster!’ And I do, almost going too fast as I get close and personal with some of the fences, but I somehow manage to avoid crashing by rolling away midair and such. Inspirations: -Saw someone else mention Pokemon in their dreams , but I also swear I remember seeing a post about it on Tumblr that made me think of the latest games. -Last night I had a funny conversation with mom about how dad was covering up his chest after taking his shirt off. I wasn’t wearing a bra under my shirt and it got me thinking about male vs female top nudity. -I wish the flying part was more clear in my memory ugh it looks like so much fun. I usually get lucid and then take off flying. 2. BL manga style dream. Spoiler for Sexuality: Two guys who are a couple are making out, and the slightly taller one didn’t mean to take it so far (the other guy had somewhere to be soon) but next thing, he’s preparing him for sex. But he doesn’t get far- I feel like the shorter guy was some kind of religious figure. One of his fellow people come in to let him know it’s almost time, and he sees the taller guy who has dark, short hair leaning over the other one with light, tan short hair and just ~stares~ deadpan as the couple freezes. Jump. Now the fellow person is leaning over the shorter guy, checking his ass to make sure he’s not damaged. ”Why do you have to do that? The whole reason I came here was to get away from stuff like that.” He says. Inspirations: Definitely inspired by an ABO (Alpha-Beta-Omega dynamics) fic I was reading last night where a omega male becomes a priest because male omegas are rare and treated badly, so he starts up a shelter for people like him, but alpha males come and take that away, and he later meets someone and falls in lust/love with him, plus the style comes from BL manga which I read fairly often. It was probably in the POV of the top because that fic was in the POV of the alpha.

Yesterday: 1. Editing a series of books on Goodreads. Inspiration: Before falling asleep I wished that I’d edited more stuff on Goodreads that day (I’m a librarian there). 2. Signing up for Ragnarok Online. Four love interests were shown, two guys, two girls. Second woman looked like the mature type with a mix of light & dark grey hair. Inspiration: Saw it mentioned somewhere online. 3. There was another character introduced, they were trans and had really long white hair. Inspiration: Sa-Ryun from Ability (webtoon), was editing pics of him that day and thinking of how some people thought he was a woman. I think lady from 2 inspired 3 which was inspired by Sa-Ryun. Notes: The last couple of nights when I wake up early with a dream, I find myself thinking about it until I fall asleep again because I don’t want to forget it (even though I’m prioritizing sleep over recall). I noticed that those dreams sometimes end up effecting my later dreams.

This WBTB chain was courtesy of OkmAR on the chat. He explained to me that counting is key in WBTB. Hopefully this isn't a one-off and I can repeat this in the future. I was flying some kind of small aircraft or hovercraft down a highway in a populated area. I was trying to get into space and also keep track of how much fuel that I had left. (I had quite a lot.) I needed to get into space and rendezvous with a space station. I became lucid and jumped off the vehicle and started flying. I remember cars on the highway started beeping and swerving when the drivers saw me. A couple of guys actually got into an accident. I flew under a couple of overpass bridges, then decided to carry on with the original plot of the dream, to go to space. I pulled up. As I pulled up, I could see where the highway ran off into the countryside. There were farmlands, houses, roads, barns. There also seemed to be an over-abundance of these large trees with yellowish-green leaves on them. The sky, though mostly cloudy and hazy, had a nice spectrum of color too it, and looked very clear and realistic. I then realized that I wasn't going up anymore. I was about halfway between the cloud layer and the ground. One of the things that I was thinking about as I flew was how its supposed to get colder as you go up. I did notice a chilly breeze at this altitude that seemed to be knocking me around in different directions. I tried pushing higher, but for some reason, I couldn't fly much higher than the halfway point between the clouds and the sky. I decided that instead, I would interact with some dream characters. I came to the ground outside one of the farm houses. It was a modern looking flat. There was a large zen-garden area out to one side of the house, but it looked as though it were dying. The flat looked a little bit worn-down too. There were a man and woman, probably in their 30's getting ready to leave to go live with their parents. (I don't know how I knew this, but I did.) I touched down by the front door in the dying garden, where the woman was. "Hey, is Manei around?" Expecting her to reply with something like 'she's inside'. "No, sorry, she isn't." "Oh okay." The woman started carrying a duffel to the truck that her husband was waiting in. "What happened to your garden?" "White Spore. Fungal infection." I observed all of the plants and saw that the ones that were dying were covered in a fine white powder substance. "Oh. Sorry to hear that. I hope your garden is better soon." I get down on one knee and put my hand on the ground. I close my eyes and said something or other, a dream control phrase that intended to fix the woman's garden. When I opened my eyes, it looked like all of the plants were healthy and some new ones were added as well. I started to become nonlucid here. The woman was very happy that her garden was fixed, and now she could invite all of my friends over. I can remember the scene actually changed to an inside area made out of brown cobblestones and having a large glass dome on top. There was a circular moat pool around the garden that had remained the same. I looked in the pool and saw all of these strange aquatic animals. The woman was talking with her friend about the animals she chose to put into the pool. "So what do you want for your medium sized animals?" Spoiler for I'll censor this line just in case...: "I want all of my medium-sized animals to be men with balls." At one point this giant Manatee came out of the water and started dancing behind me like some kind of joke. Everyone thought it was really funny because he would dance behind me and they thought that I wasn't noticing. Every time I tried to move, he would follow me. I was more confused as to anything else. Then my cousins and my uncle showed up to go swimming with the sea creatures in the moat pool. He took of his shirt and he had this weird plastic grate in his stomach that made it look like he had a 6-pack abs. He was bragging to everyone that he had the best abs. The Dancing Manatee accidentally kicked me in the back during one of his dance moves. (I know Matinees have flippers, but this one had arms and feet, and little black claws in his feet.) I had a little puncture wound in the back of each leg that was bleeding where the claw went in. The woman who owned the garden apologized and shamed the Manatee as if he were a small child. He started crying. She then went to get me a bandage. WBTB I was at my mom's work. I was watching TV and eating ice cream out of the tub. ... I was moving around the work when I noticed that I had some dry/dead skin on one of my hands, about the size of a fifty cent piece. It was between my thumb and index finger on my right hand. I started to peel it off. It was hard like rock and when I tried to peel it off, I saw there was no new skin underneath it, and it started bleeding. Wait a second, can't I head this since I'm dreaming. ... I'm not dreaming, am I? I am! I tried wiping my left hand over the dead skin patch and I told myself that it would be gone. It was completely gone. Bonus, I was lucid dreaming. I wanted to stabilize. I looked at my hands to get a better picture of them. I seemed to have the correct number of fingers on both hands. I tried to do the 'push finger through palm' RC but it didn't work. My hands in dreams, are sadly, very normal. "Heighten Lucididty!" I looked around. I could tell I was no longer in my mom's workplace. I was in what felt like my old middle school. I figured I should make my way outside. I tried to fly, but it failed, and I ended up falling down one of the stairwells. I remember falling flat on my butt when I tried to fly that time. I then saw somebody had left a silver travel mug on the stairs. I went up to it and felt it. It was warm. I looked inside and saw it was full of tea. I looked at the label on the end of the teabag. 'Lucidi-Tea Company' That pun hurt my soul. I looked up and saw that the doors at the bottom of the stairway were closed. But they had two little windows. I saw Manei walk by, look at me through one of the windows and walk on. I lost the dream and woke up. WBTB I think the first dream was sort of repeating. I was again flying some kind of aircraft. This time it was a small black stealth fighter jet. Somebody was boasting about it's capabilities. It might have belonged to Marcus. He was explaining how it was able to fly into orbit and back since it used [a special type of engine] There seemed to be some kind of malfunction though, and I was flying really low over a tropical archipelago. ... I somehow found myself in town with S. I was talking with him about how air pressure changes as you go up. I remember telling him that after you go up every mile you lose half the air pressure. (This is probably inaccurate...) So at sea level its one atmosphere. At one mile up, its .5 atm. At two miles up it is .25 atm, etc. I told him how the plane that I had been testing was able to fly at 100 miles up, so imagine how thin the atmosphere must be up there. I then became lucid and decided to fly. I saw that the town we were in was surrounded by mountains, like in Puerto Rico. There was a radio tower and I decided that I would fly to the top of that. I started to focus on my intent and lifted off the ground. Some DCs in the town looked at me with the typical amazement and shock-and-awe. S said he wanted to come with me. I tried to lift him into the air with me, but he was really heavy, and unable to fly himself. The farthest I was able to get us was the roof of a parked car. We sat there. Manei came and asked me what I was doing. I lost the dream and had an FA. I FA'd on the couch in my living room. I decided it was time I end my WBTB chain and enter these all on Dreamviews. I got up, booted up my computer and sat down at the kitchen table. My dad was working. He asked what I was doing. I told him that I was going to enter the three lucid dreams that I had into my DJ. He got really upset since he had been secretly trying to lucid dream for years, but was always too prideful to ask for advice. But since I had three lucid dreams in one night, and he had none he felt it high time he asked me for advice. I told him to tell me about his technique. I woke up for real. I was actually really tempted to go back and try for a fourth lucid dream in one night.
Lucid TOTM report I become lucid in total darkness. I say "more light!" but the darkness remains. I try this several times, but it makes no discernible difference. I try to "remove the dark glasses" that are preventing me from seeing. I can feel myself scratching at my eyes, but no visual elements appear. I think about the sun coming up and at first this makes no difference, but gradually I see shrubbery forming in a grey/black mist. Trees start to form. I am in the air above a wooded landscape. I fly around, looking down at all the trees below me. I decide I will fly to my childhood home, "the farm." It appears below me to my right. I see the swimming pool pump house and remember the basic TOTM is to enter a house. I swoop down and pass through the roof of the pump house as if it were not there. I am standing on the floor of the room, i see pipes and tubing, just as it really looked in my youth, if a bit larger than real life. There are some strange cylindrical objects on the floor. I pick one up, it is black and has a WWII "Flying Tiger" face painted on it. There are some strange indentations on the sides that give the appearance of arms. I loose lucidity and the dream fades. This dream was strange as it was in the 4th hour of sleep. It was not very clear/vivid. I had no memory or thought to access memory of waking life. I had difficulty thinking clearly. Lucidity lasted perhaps 2 minutes. The flying around before arriving at the house continued for a bit.
In this dream I realized I was dreaming by a Dream Induced Lucid Dream (DILD), but I decided to continue on with the dream pretending that I wasn’t lucid to see if the dream would last longer without stabilizing (was somewhat successful). It was mid-afternoon, and I was driving down a backwoods area along a dike. There was a huge lake on one side, and an abandoned, hydro dam community (circa 1960’s) on the other, which was heavily grown in with foliage. My wife was sitting beside me, and we were discussing reasons why such beautiful homes could have been abandoned. One house even appeared to even have all the furniture left inside, and it looked pretty much untouched, except for part of the roof had collapsed, so we decided to park the truck and take a closer look. I walked over the abandoned home and opened the front door. There were cobwebs everywhere (dream sign), so I turned around and asked my wife to pass me a stick so I could knock them down. Standing behind my wife was our beautiful daughter (another dream sign), and I instantly became lucid. I said to them, “I know this is a dream, and I could become lucid, but I don’t want to wake up. I want to explore this cool house!” Both my wife and daughter smiled and agreed with the plan. Neither had passed me a stick, so I made a fire poker appear in my left hand and we continued into the house. Not surprisingly the cobwebs were now gone, so I dropped the fire poker on the floor. There were old couches, lamps, end tables, and random belongings, and the house really looked like the inhabitants just walked away without packing anything. The floor in the kitchen had collapsed into the basement, and we carefully slid down the angled floor so we could see if anything was down there. Nope, the basement was empty. I started to have thoughts about the house collapsing on us, so I said, “Okay, let’s leave now, because this doesn’t look safe.” I was thinking in my mind to be careful with my thoughts, because this can affected how the dream plays out. I was actually still lucid, but I was trying to get back into regular dream mode, which I couldn’t seem to do. As we approached the front door, one of my dream guides walked in, and asked if we can still be friends? We had a nasty fight earlier that night in a non-lucid dream, and it really didn’t end well at all. It was my fault, because I’m still struggling with the occasional violence in non-lucid dreams. I looked apologetically at him and replied, “Of course we can.” Just then, a bunch of cars and trucks pulled up the house, and a pile of scruffy looking dream characters jumped out. My daughter immediately spun around, and flew at towards the back corner of the house, and she passed seamlessly right through the wall! She was getting the heck out of here! My wife and dream guide then walked out the front door to greet them, and I followed close behind. Once outside, my wife asked where our daughter was, and I told her she flew off somewhere. Then the lucid dream quickly faded and I woke.
