    1. Tattoo on a Deformed Neck, Old Habits Die Hard, and Another Letter to Nick

      by , 08-17-2014 at 12:01 PM (Krista's Dream Journal)
      Dream - Lucid

      There was a girl with glasses that a very deformed neck. It looked like a huge mass of melted skin was on the back of it. She had to have it on this thing with wheels, kind of like a walker, to get around it was so big. She had a tattoo on it. She was showing it to us.

      I was in high school marching band again. I remember saying something to someone about it, telling them I couldn't wait until I didn't have to be in it anymore. We were on the asphalt practicing. The sun was setting.


      ~

      I was living in a neighborhood instead of an apartment complex. Two people I know IWL, Meg and Alicia, were moving into these tiny, studio apartment-type houses. Alicia's husband was also moving in with her. The houses were right next door to one another. I saw them moving in, and the apartment was so small, when you opened the front door, you could see the bed right there. Alicia's sister and her husband, Andrew, were somehow involved in this as well.

      I knew they both smoked weed, and I knew that now that they lived there, the second we hung out again, I'd be smoking again too. I wasn't worried about it though. I thought that I could control my habits now. In the back of my head, I knew that I wouldn't be able to in reality, but I didn't care. I just didn't want Dallas to find out. I was really excited about smoking and having such easy access to it.

      I was then hanging about with Alicia. Her husband wasn't there. I don't remember where we were, but we were just chatting, when she asked if I wanted to smoke. Hell yeah! I really wanted to. She went and grabbed a bong from somewhere inside I think. She then was asking me about having sex while high. High sex is good, but I'd never done it with a girl. I thought about doing it with Dallas, but didn't know if I would be able to get away with it without him knowing I was high.

      I think we smoked, but the only thing I remember about that is thinking that my eyes were red. I was hoping we wouldn't get caught smoking since the house was so small. I didn't want to get arrested or in trouble in any way.

      Then, I was talking to someone else about weed. She pulled some weed out that was a light green with white on it. She said it was hydroponic. I smelled it. It smelled good, but not like super good weed. She then was talking about putting it on chapstick and rubbing it in your eye to get high. I then thought that if I did that, my eyes would be really red.


      ~

      I was outside of some store at nighttime. I was writing to my first crush/first kiss, Nick. It was nighttime outside. I typed him a letter, and put three fingerprints on it. It told him to email me at a new email address, and also told him to listen to a particular song. I think my mom helped me type it. I read it over to make sure there were no mistakes. Instead of "Dear Nick," it said "Dear D____", with the spaces being something I can't remember, but it looked like the new email address that I gave to him. The fingerprints were below that, shaped like a pyramid, with two on the bottom and one on top.

      After it was sent, I wondered whether or not he would even acknowledge my new email, or if he would just write back saying he had already heard the song. The point wasn't whether or not he'd heard the song, it was the lyrics that I wanted him to listen to.

      I was then sitting outside of a public bathroom. It felt like I was at Disney. It was still nighttime. There was a little blonde girl of about 5 and her mom also sitting outside the bathroom on a bench attached to the wall. The blonde girl then started to talk to me. She said
      "In my country (she said the name of the country but I can't remember), we can play in the bathroom."
      She then was asking me if there were things in the bathroom she could play with while she went. At her feet, there were many children's books. I told her she could take a book in the bathroom to read, and she got excited. She went in and forgot the book. I went over to the stall, which was unusually short, and handed it to her over top of the door.
    2. Foghorns

      by , 08-17-2014 at 08:49 AM
      I'm experimenting again. I recorded the phrase "This is a dream" on my mobile then fed it into my music file set on a loop and on small headphones at low volume. I can talk watch TV with that constantly in the background.

      Rather than just making it subliminal I mentally connect back to it regularly and recall where I was 5-10 mins ago with occasional RC's It also reminds me to be aware in all other things. When I'm not listening to that my constant background tinnitus serves the same purpose

      So, overall I'm finding ADA reasonably easy to do (of course being retired helps as well)

      17/8 5.00 pm
      Woke after an apparently barren night and got up for an hour. Used the headphones and had a glass of red wine before going BTB OK it muddies the experimental waters (headphones AND wine?) but, frankly it gave me a buzz so who cares?

      7.30 AM
      Night time and me walking around outside what was (an approximation) of a former home There's a large area of green outside and it was full of strange apparatus and each one had apparently some sort of foghorns mounted on top of them? These were blaring but someone had apparently stolen the horns and substituted blue plastic bags (which seemed to work just the same)

      I had a sudden urge to fly and I rose up, then felt ecstatic...and woke up

      Totally ridiculous but so vivid. Despite the strangeness I never actually questioned it all but I take comfort in the vividness of the dream and the fact it seemed to be in real time rather than a faint recollection after I woke... and the fact that I'm pretty sure that I DECIDED to fly (again forgot to RC before opening my eyes)

      OK the wine may have caused it but a glass of red wine in moderation is a health boon and adds melatonin and I shall certainly try that again...bring it on!

      Lessons to be applied - RC before getting up - KEEP THE EXCITEMENT LEVEL DOWN...it tips me out of my dreams...and a little of what you fancy does you good....

    3. 00:00 Sunday 2014-08-17 fragmented early morning, better late morning, successful back to sleep

      by , 08-17-2014 at 08:25 AM
      tired all day, 100mg b6, 2mg melatonin, 1 scoop UYM muscle-builder, noticed no effects
      B6 for better memory/recall, didn't notice any difference. Muscle-builder addiitonally for night-time energy since was quite hungry at bed-time. Woke up with a bit of a sort of stuffy head feeling.

      00:00 Sunday 2014-08-17

      (early morning recall, frustrating, almost nothing but fragments and I *know* there was a lot more there, nothing other than first impressions would come in at all despite diligent effort)

      06:30

      +(f) I've come up with a guaranteed way to make money, it's so simple I can't believe everybody doesn't do it, based on real estate

      +(f) I'm at a table tasting two different Chardonnays, I can't tell the difference, I hear a wine-snob type says one of the wines isn't ready, the other one has "hints of Acacia."

      +(f) I'm surfing on water apologizing for the complexity of something I've prepared

      +(f) gathering the opinion of colleagues on some work I've done, I'm describing it a bit

      + in a garage full of toys I inspect a bicycle that's just come out of the washing machine and is dripping wet, I look at its small transparent seat, I'm sitting on a child's bike the handle bars are loose and not aligned with the front wheel, an Indian father is looking at a 1-foot tall robot toy and talking on a cell phone talking to his kid(s) saying "they're willing to trade, but there's no guarantees"

      (late morning, got back to sleep, yay)

      09:15

      + (near lucid) flying through a series of glass-windowed walls, a new wall appears before me every time I fly through the next one, I can't break the cycle with expectation, I think this is ridiculous I've never had this issue before when flying, I see a city scape in the distance with night-time city lights, the tinted walls of windows has controllable-polarizing where the level of darkness is controllable. I fly out the first time through the glass expecting to pass through easily but get a bit stuck. Second wall I encounter I choose a section that is open with a screen that is not connected on the right side, expecting to pass through easily but I hit the screen and need to push it aside slightly. Looking ahead I see each glass wall fading in to appear farther in front of me just before I fly through one more.

      (This was noteworthy in that my dreams usually do not troll me so obviously, putting me into an unescapable loop like that, that may be the first time I recall it happening.)

      + In my home living room, I'm looking in to the top freezer section of our fridge, I see some ice cream bars there I try to pick one up but it's quite soft, I see several more and realize they're all soft, I look at the freezer box and notice it can't close properly there is a lot of ice/debris in the way so I try to clear out the door area and around the side so that it will close. I step back and look at it and realize part of the front door and side wall are entirely missing, that's why the ice cream is soft, I tell my wife the freezer is broken, (I think someone in particular [a woman] has done this).

      I then see my son S2 at a cute young age and lie with my back on the floor and put him on top of my bent knees (on his stomach) and play motorcycle with him several times, raising my legs and flipping him head over heels onto my chest. I realize I didn't do the whole game properly and so repeat it. I want to experience this time with him at this age for a long time, I think it's really important to value this time with young children. When finished, I reach over to S1 lying near me on the floor (present age) and pull him to me by his hand but nothing then happens. I'm still lying on my back and an older unrelated girl (JG I think) wearing PJs lies on my legs which are still in motorcycle-game-position and wants to play too, I feel her heavier weight, feel her body a bit through the PJs on my leg, and think we should stop before someone sees.

      I'm walking through some outdoor small area around tables looking for my young-age S2 again, I think about summoning him, it doesn't work, there are other small kids running around and a parent watching over them.

      + abstract/weird "dream-like" huge amusement area/slide, riding balloon falling on cartoon spikes. This slide/area is in the distance, then it's in front of me, I look down the white slide to see various rides/attractions on it including a water-spraying game in the distance.

      + I receive a memo / email at work, I read it but am a bit confused about its meaning. At first I think an "MP" (VP probably) wants to meet with me to commend me on my excellent work and offer me a continuation of my contract or maybe a permanent position. Then reading it again I think it says he's meeting with underperforming empoyees to diagnose the problem. I'm in a meeting room but it's filled with empty-headed marketing types, it's not my meeting. I'm walking around and am carrying two bottles filled with lucid dreaming supplement capsules, I take some capsules and a bunch of them spill on the carpet, I'm trying to pick them up but they keep spilling (DREAM SIGN!), I want to put them into a drawer so they're not seen, I don't want them to think I'm a drug addict, they won't understand about LD supplements. One of the bottles has written around the rim next to the cap "National Steroids", so I know they'll think I'm a druggie. (Something about coins?) I'm looking for the meeting I enter a room and see people in elegant black evening wear it's a celebration of the company's success, there's a beautiful marketing woman in black sleeveless evening dress, she lifts her arm and I see a glistening spot on her armipt and think this is a patch of deodorant.

      I walk to the end of this narrow room turn the corner and head right back the same way I just came in the new room which is also narrow it has hair-dressers cooing over an infant, I think the meeting room is off to the left at the end of this room.

      +(f) leaving a diner I get a splinter in my bare foot, I try scaping it off on something, I must have left my sandals in the diner.

    4. We ar the masters of earth

      by , 08-17-2014 at 06:45 AM
      Think two nights on the trot attempting WILD knackered me, a pretty sound sleep with one boring snippet;

      Man in tracksuit comes into the shop - asks to hire a pair of brogues for himself. I ask what size and he says 3. I stare at his feet thinking that they don't look that small, and am about to head up the back to get a pair when he decides he might buy instead. I clearly mind having my hands on a pair of 3 and a halfs. Then I woke up...

    5. Cheating on her With her

      by , 08-17-2014 at 04:25 AM (Cities in the Astral)
      08/14/14 Too strange. I was enjoining a semilucid sexy scene with an old girlfriend. At some point I went for a stroll and ran into the same ex girlfriend, but as a new DC. We fooled around and then I could see the house from the first dream was a back yard neighbor with this one. I felt embarrassed and was suddenly naked with just a towel. I though that I had cheated on one DC with another DC despite them both being DCs of the same exgirlfriend.
      Well, that was odd and I decided to pull full lucidity in to the dream. I became aware and listened to see how much background noise I could hear. It was life like, which is uncommon. I reclined back on the air and floated. Now in high lucidity I found I was unable to remember my real life beyond what would have mattered in the time the dream had been set in. No recall of the last 20 years. Then the alarm woke me up

      Journal Entry Lucid #71 Dream,Lucid, thoughts in dream,(Comments)
      Background:Since this is me looking back at my old DJ, I didn't write what I did I was too lazy, so I can't write anything here.

      Lucid Dream # 71, day: 08/14/14, time: 3:50-4:03 Am " It's just a Weird plot":
      I am looking at an ant hill. I am trying to find the biggest hill to do some sort of math problem. As I was putting stickers on them a female, EN, showed up and she tried to seduce me. She put her butt out, bending over to touch me. She started to grind her butt in front of me. I yelled, "What are you doing?". She turned around and smiled back at me. She stood upright and I put my hand on her shoulder to tell her that it is wrong. Instead she grabs my hand and puts them on her boobs. I freaked out and moved my hands right away. I looked around and saw that I am in my backyard. She is still next to me. I put my and on her boobs I am turned on. She turned over and replied, "yeah, grab my ass", so I did. I thought about this weird plot and realized it was a dream.I got up and shredder from TMNT showed up and beat me up. He knocked me out. I thought I woke up and it was over with .

      I got up and he told me to leave. I did, and I still had a katana, a type of sword on my back. I was angry that I couldn't defend myself from the shredder. I could feel the heaviness of the katana in my hand. I tried to slice objects with the katana. I see a group of martial arts students followed by a female sensai. I see them fight each other. I told them to be careful with the katana. They instructor informed me that they are fake. I looked closer at them and realized that they are indeed plastic. I realized that it is a dream. I told the DC to ask herself "what is real?", "is this real", "am I real?", "Am I you imagination?". She replied, "it feels weird". I said, "yeah it's ok to feel weirded out by it". As I was walking trying to make dream stable, I see ES. I am rubbing my hand I could feel the dream fade. As I am waking, ES says to me, "I need to suffocate". I looked at him weird and he said, "breath! breath!". I said, "Ok...ok" kinda annoyed. We found our way to the small room in church. I smell cow or horse manure and it reminded me of my childhood home. ES is talking, "They are no supposed to be here, only we know this place." I opened a door to my backyard. She, EN, wasn't there. I was relived. My dream kept its intensity. I didn't want to think about task or anything. I flew around and before I woke up I saw a Ninja turtle and a roller coaster. . It wasn't false memory, but it was exaggerated I may have walked by a farm or horse dump but at the moment I thought I was once living at a farm.

    8. Snake (17.8.14)

      by , 08-17-2014 at 12:22 AM (CHiLLEN's Dream Journal)
      Dream - 8:00AM

      I'm walking around a place with escalators. I see a guard in my way, I keep hitting him until he moves. He eventually gives in and offers to pull down a leaver which was on the wall, and does it. Im standing near a wall and it opens a special storage box inside the wall. There's brick like things in the way. The scene has changed to my rumpus room sf my house but still see bricks etc. Ben and I begin to take bricks off and as we almost reach last brick Ben gets cautious. He puts a cloth over the area, as If he was expecting some sort of creature to come out. A snake comes out. Ben tries to pick it up and it hisses at him. It's now on the floor. it's small medium size black snake. Ben is dad now. Dad puts a shoe over it and tries to cover hole where it may escape. I try to fix it so the hole is completely sealed but i make it worse. Snake escapes again and it can shrink itself into small blob and still move. It makes it's way under the couch. It comes out again and dad throws something over it again. I put a jacket over it but the snake pushes it's body and head up and it looks as if it's standing with a sheet on its head. I see Rex underneath the snake and snake bites Rex's ear, I freak out and stop it by pulling it away. Rex doesn't seem bothered and is still laying there.

      Dream Fragment:

      I'm outside and I see people. At a petrol station?

      Side Notes:

      Neck felt much better tonight but recall was shit once again. I've been putting effort into my affirmations and not getting rewarded. Not sure what's up but will just keep on keeping on.
    9. Weird SP AND Anime World

      by , 08-16-2014 at 11:40 PM
      I wasn't trying to remember my dreams so I forgot the first one.

      Second Dream

      Something I don't remember happened than I appeared in SP. Someone I couldn't see covered my mouth and tried to rape me. After that I appeared on the bed again and called out to my dream mom. I wanted to wake up because I was afraid and my mom grabbed both my hands and told me not to worry. I bit my rubbery hand and after a few seconds woke up.

      Third Dream

      I have no clue what happened in the beggining but I became lucid after I noticed the elevator wasn't working in the dream. I left the Asian guys I was with and saw a lady cutting open something on a counter. I asked where the stairs were and she kept showing me secret stairways to go through. I chose one and told the lady who was mad at me to forgive me for leaving her.(I was joking) After I left I noticed I was in a secret facililty in a city where dream things were being kept from the public. I took out two blades and cut the teddy bear that flew in my way. I was kind of slow but managed to find my away around it. I ran out the building and a FBI agent started chasing me. I hid behind a pole than ran after that.I noticed the world looked like a anime and I was a blonde anime boy as I was running and thought it was pretty cool. I woke up after running for a bit though.

      *As I was writing I recalled at the beggening I was at a school running from a guy and outsmarting someone and something about getting a new game?...Oh! I became lucid after my cousin tried fighting me. But I used my dream skills to block her attacks. She started crying after that too. I didn't feel bad cause I knew it was just a dream though. The thing I don't recall is how I ended up in the elevator but it doesn't matter so....

    10. Fedoras and Flatulence

      by , 08-16-2014 at 11:21 PM
      Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

      Lucid #231: Fedoras and Flatulence

      I wake up feeling disappointed that I didn’t manage to have a lucid dream. Well, too late for that -- Wife and the kids are up and getting ready and my folks are here too. I feel grumpy and sorry for myself, but I get started with the day. Lots of mundane stuff happens and eventually we all wind up sitting at a cafeteria table across from a pedestal.

      The pedestal fascinates me. It has the vague outline of a statue on it, which will fade from looking fully physical to almost completely invisible. It’s a statue of Artemis, and I know that nobody can see it but me because I’m the only lucid dreamer in this whole place. As I’m staring at this statue, a brown-haired woman in her early 20s sits down in the chair next to me, a little closer than appropriate. She touches me on the shoulder flirtatiously and leans in. “Hi! What are we looking at?”

      I feel uneasy about how close she’s getting but also attracted and flattered. I feel like I don’t know how much information I should reveal about being a lucid dreamer, so my answer is guarded: “That’s supposed to be a statue there.”

      “Well, what do you see?” she asks.

      The truth: “It’s a statue of Artemis. I can see it because I’m a lucid dreamer.”

      “That’s amazing!” she says. She makes a few more comments about lucid dreaming and then stands up. Her inner thigh brushes my left hand as she gets up and I again get that mix of attraction and discomfort. She smiles. “You should call me if you ever want to talk to me about it.”

      I think that I’d have no way to call her because I don’t have her phone number. I’m about to ask her what it is but stop when I realize how bad that would sound. This all feels strange to me now. I look to my right and my family isn’t here with me. It’s just me. I take the nose pinch reality check and I blow right through, becoming semi-lucid but just not completely convinced. .This feels so real, am I sure? I hit a second nose pinch and
      now I’m fully lucid.

      I get up from the table and move into an adjacent room, remembering my intent to summon Dreamer. My go-to method has been transforming an existing DC into her, so I look around at the few dream characters wandering this scene and confidently grab the nearest one. It’s a short, pudgy Asian male, overall a really abysmal candidate for this transform into Dreamer. I want to be confident though so I go right ahead with trying to transform this dude.

      I press my hands along his scalp, spreading Dreamer’s purple hair color along his scalp. He’s smiling and kind of chuckling at this, seeming to find it funny. The purple is coming out but whatever paint is coming out of my hands feels really clump and uneven. The guy’s scalp is kind of sweaty, too, and the purple paint even starts running down his face. His hair isn’t even half purpled before I get frustrated after a long time trying. Okay, maybe he looks too different, try changing the face. I start mashing on his face with my hands, trying to change his look into Dreamer. He seems to be getting kind of pissed at me for this and the whole thing just becomes awkward.

      Okay, move on. I leave and walk into another room with a strange, gently wavy floor. I try the behind-the-back summon, narrating that “I feel Dreamer’s hand over here,” but I feel this doubt like I’m not doing things properly. I call out “[Dreamer]!” (using her real name) and vaguely hear a response, and I decide that she must be up ahead in some nearby room. I decide to use my old trick of demanding that the dream show me the way, and now when I call for Dreamer, a doorway glows with bright yellow light.

      I continue moving through another series of 3-4 doors this way, demanding to be shown the way and the dream complying. I wind up in a large, cavernous room filled with DCs. There is a group of nuns near one side of the room that are dressed in unusual red habits. A large number of adults wander the room (more women than men) and close to the center of the room there’s a shallow pit where a large group of children are playing together. I ask the dream to show me where Dreamer is, but the glow effect always seems to be slightly out of view, frustrating me. I demand out loud that “Everybody point to where [Dreamer] is in this room.”

      Every character in the scene turns toward a young, blond girl that’s playing in the pit. She’s about 6, her hair much shorter and lighter than I would have imagined, but I feel like this is her. I walk up to the child, who looks up at me with a goofy, slightly crooked-toothed smile. I place my hands on the sides of her head and say, “This is you, you’re [Dreamer].” As I say this, she grows to full height and now she looks completely like herself, apart from the fact that she has the little girl’s short, blond hair.

      “Thank you for finding me!” she says. Dreamer puts her arms around my neck and we briefly hug. Almost immediately, all of the DCs in the room move toward, all of them smiling at her, greeting her, and wanting to interact with her. Some of them congratulate her. I stand by a few feet to the side, interested and amused. As each of the DCs greet her in turn, at one point a man comes up with a tiny fedora and placed it onto her head as if he’s crowning her.

      The happy throng of DCs congregate around Dreamer as they all walk toward one of the room’s exits. I feel sad to see her leave the dream scene so early but all of this feels very natural to me, so I don’t resist it.

      Once I find myself alone, I walk through another exit into an office scene with lots of people working at desks. It looks like we’re high up in a skyscraper. I make some mischief in here with telekinesis, throwing a plastic sign, tossing a desk, picking up one poor guy who’s just trying to get his work done. The office workers start seeming uncomfortable with my presence, so I look for an exit.

      Off to the side is a platform with a waiting helicopter, so I climb aboard. Another DC tries to get on with us, and there’s a brief argument about who should get to come aboard. The pilot says (referring to me) “He can do whatever he wants,” and we take off. We fly over the city for a good while and I spy a few buildings that look reminiscent from spots in Breaking Bad. Eventually the helicopter hovers over a forest clearing near a building and I jump out. The helicopter flies off and I’m alone again.

      I remember that I have a lucid dare from Dreamer that requires me to perform a Super Advanced Fart (one which is “very long, loud, and powerful”). At first I feel like this will be impossible. My body isn’t giving me “the signal” that anything can be conjured up. I know that this is a dream, though, so I convince myself that a bubble of pressure is forming in my stomach. Once that’s there, a good push sends me into a full eruption. The emerging fart is ultra loud and super powerful, lifting me gently into the air. It feels like there’s a hand or a platform under my butt lifting me upward. I wobble around unsteadily in the air, leaning left and right and bobbing a bit. It feels like I have a jet pack on.

      I’d hoped to have enough propulsion to reach lower earth orbit, but I never get more than 15-20 feet off the ground. As the “event” ends, I settle back down to the ground. Dare achieved!

      I’ve still got some dream left, so I decide to find Dreamer again. I ask the dream to show me where she is, and a door glows on a nearby building. I head for the door but before I reach it,
      I have a false awakening at the foot of a bed. Wife is lying on the bed, completely unclothed, writing on a notepad. I feel extreme sexual attraction and I curl up next to her. The moment that I kiss her neck, though, her clothes reappear. Then she shows me that she’s making a list of personality quirks that makes her good at Jeopardy questions. I’m still trying to figure out how to turn things frisky when my dad walks by on the way to the kitchen. The mood is officially ruined, so I get up for the day before waking up for real.
    11. 00:00 Saturday 2014-08-16 recall yet a bit more higher, more dreams and higher awareness

      by , 08-16-2014 at 08:00 PM
      recall and awareness a step higher again:

      early morning:

      +(f) I'm in a dark indoor space confronting some rodent, his huge relative shows up behind him

      + walking up stairs in an apartment building looking for a guy's apartment, ask my dad about if Zbigniew Brzezinski was indicted by watergate (and why was he then put in charge of national security?), see a static image of some guy with a huge nose poking through a bloody hole into another guy's head

      + my wife is driving the car, I'm giving directions, we're approaching a busy cross street with visible traffic, she's not slowing down, "Careful!" I say, she brakes at the last moment, it turns out we're driving on ice, we slide out of control across the street spinning and slam into a parked car (that was stopped because it also had been in an accident?)

      late morning:

      + chatting with a young cute short (receptionist?) friend during a break at work, she hates her job, I give her a pep talk to quit and become a freelancer, I tell her I live on this street (we're standing outside it's dark), we mistakenly switch cups and I take a drink of her tea

      + going on a ride on my old red Honda CB250 motorcycle, adjust the choke setting for more performance, turn to the right to enter traffic (thumbing the turn signal), accelerate, shift into 2nd gear and the bike immediately does a full stoppie and I nearly fly over the handlebars, I realize later (in a dream?) I must have been dreaming because I wasn't wearing a helmet

      + I'm leading a group of teammates from a courtyard through a building out to the sidewalk, rapidly finger-shooting all the opponents in our path, "keep an eye on that guy" who's slumped down in a corner, huge crowd of cops shows up and I think I can finger-shoot them all but they arrest us, the chief of police is a teammate and he yells to a big black cop that he's fired, the cop says he can't do that, so the chief tells him he's on leave.

      + funny conversation with woman and wife at a pool party, I see a dead/dying goldfish and miniature mermaid. A bunch of us are lying in the sun in our swimsuits. I'm putting on woman's makeup (as a joke?), it's like thick white clay, I'm pasting it onto my face under my eyes with a flat wooden stick like a popsicle stick, I see my face in a mirror briefly I see I've put so much on that it's in big blobs on my face.

      A woman lying with her face to me says "I hate sleep, it's the closest thing in life to death."

      Me: "I love sleep!"
      DC: "And oh, I hate dreams..."
      Me: "I *love* my dreams!" (I know I'm a lucid dreamer)
      Wife: "Oh, really!? What do you dream about?!"
      Me: "Uh..." (uh oh the cat's out of the bag) "...skiing?"

      I then notice that lying in a 1-inch deep water area in between me and my wife are located a 2-3 inch long goldfish and and a 3-4 inch miniature mermaid. They're not moving. I poke the goldfish and turn it over, it barely respond. I say to my wife "do you think they're sick?" (don't remember her reply). I look at the mermaid, it has a freaky expressionless doll-face with widely open eyes. The head is about the size of a Pez dispenser's head. I look at that face/eyes a few more times.

      I get up to go into the house to go to the bathroom, and notice a group of 3 girls in bikinis in the distance, briefly admire them, then continue on.

      I wonder (still in the dream) if I have some subconscious urge to tell my wife about my dreaming hobby.

    12. I Finally Found Her, and other Adventures

      by , 08-16-2014 at 07:49 PM (One Up Seeker)
      1.
      I was in some sort of public theater that had a white interior. The floor was made of white tiles as well. I was walking outside with my mom, dad, and my sister and as we were walking down a hallway of the theater in order to get out, my sister told us that she felt sick. Right after she said that she threw up a little bit. We scolded her and told her to go back and clean it up.
      An officer that was guarding the theater saw this incident and enforced, "Yea you better clean that up or else I'll have to write you a ticket if you don't." I remember my sister acknowledging this and then going back to clean it up. My dad was really upset about this and kept on telling her to clean it up. When she threw up, the only thing I saw come out of her mouth was a type of white, thick spit, and it was only a little puddle the size of one's palm.
      Me and my dad walked out of the theater place and I kind of wandered off and walked around the parking lot. I saw a group of my friends around the middle of the parking lot just chilling, so I met up with them. One guy that was there was a guy I knew from ROTC, he had a twin brother so I had no idea which brother he was, or what his name was. Him and my friends were playing with silly string and just spraying it around. All of my friends were partially covered in the silly string, which was a dark neon pink in color. I asked the twin if I could have some of the silly string, and he told me, "Nah dude get your own, there's some over there". He said this in a really grumpy way.
      I turned around, and only about 20 feet away from me was a can of silly string, and it was pink. I picked it up and as I did the twin told me I was going to go into "Zombie mode". Instantly as I picked it up and held it in my hands, a transparent film of dark neon pink covered my entire field of vision. I found out that whenever I jumped into the air, I would jump pretty high and it would be in slow motion.
      I went around my friends in this, "Zombie mode", and sprayed them all. I even ran around them just spraying the silly string into the air. I remember feeling it about to run out, so I ran up to a pole and started to climb up it. The climb was really easy considering that I was in slow motion. I continued climbing, but I couldn't make it to the very top. I made it really close to the top though, and when I did I looked down and ahead of me and saw my friend Brittany and I got her attention and tried to scare her.
      She saw me and I saw that I startled her. I came down from the pole and put down the silly string. Now, I was no longer in, "Zombie mode". I looked around the parking lot, and at myself. I noticed that I was shirtless and that my abs were showing. I looked across from myself and about 30 feet to my side there was a buff guy that was also shirtless and he was walking with his family to his car. He had slightly better abs than I did mainly because he looked like a teen body builder.
      "He's my only competition", I thought. With this I started walking back inside to the theater. My dad met me at the entrance of the theater and we both walked into the doorway of another room directly to my left. It was the closest room to the exit. Inside of this room, there were multiple computers everywhere. The computers were put inside of tan bathroom stalls. In each stall, there was supposed to be a toilet seat as well, so I'm assuming that one could use the computer while they were doing their business.
      I approached the first stall and my dad told me, "That's the one I usually go into". I looked inside of it and noticed that this stall was really small and also really packed. It was missing a toilet and it had a huge computer inside. I left this stall and looked around for others. As I did so, I noticed that there were no other stalls only computers. As I continued walking, I was confronted by a girl. She was rather short and had black hair. She started flirting with me as I looked for a computer to get on. I asked her, "Whats the best computer you guys have in here?".
      Right as I asked that, some other girls brought in a huge computer and put it on the desk next to me. They told me that this was a new computer and that it was the, "Super/Mother computer". Exactly what I wanted. Another girl came up to me to see if I needed any help. I recognized her, it was the girl I had a crush on. I was still shirtless inside of this room and all of the girls kept trying to feel my abs and flirt with me.
      I had my sights on one girl in specific though, my crush. She looked beautiful and she looked pretty much the same in real life except for the fact that she was alot more tan than in waking life. All of the other girls in the room left, and now it was just me and her. For some reason I brought up the buff guy I had seen in the parking lot to start a conversation with her. "Did you see that buff guy in the parking lot?", I asked. "Yep", she replied. "Yea he was pretty buff and he had really good abs" I said( I have no idea why I talked about him and made him look better like WTF).
      Right after this it came to me that I was talking to my crush, and I became Lucid. The first thing that came to my mind that I wanted to do, was dilate time. "Wait right here and don't move", I told her in a nice way. I walked down an aisle next to me and tried dilating time using Hukif's method. I closed one eye and starting counting up from 1. I looked around as I did so and I noticed things were starting to get swirly. I eventually made it around the aisle and I stopped counting at 20. I had rushed the entire method, so I had a feeling it wasn't going to work.
      I came back to my crush and she jumped into my arms. I held onto her and decided I was going to carry her around in my arms. For some reason I had difficulty lifting my feet up and walking, but it wasn't because she was heavy. I thought about altering the way I walked to where I could just float through the air, but it didn't work. I carried my crush over to a corner and we started kissing. I'm not going to lie, it felt pretty magical. Somehow, my crush instantly became naked. I looked out the window in front of us and saw a screen. It was the screen of a phone. It was a conversation between a couple. Here's what I remember of it:
      Guy: I'm going to eat you out.
      Girl: Why? You should do something else.
      Guy: I want to lick your pussy (wtf, really random)
      Girl: Red!(<<no idea what thats supposed to mean) I want you to do something else( another sexual act).
      I was reading all of this while I was fore playing with my crush. I placed my crush on the ledge of the window, and started eating her out(I dont know why, but this is always what I do first to a girl in dreams. Maybe its a fetish?). I was really enjoying myself and so was my crush. I had the feeling that that conversation that I saw was supposed to represent her, and that she didn't want me to eat her out. I didn't want to make her do anything she didn't want to either.

      All of a sudden, I started feeling myself about to wake up. I'm pretty sure it was because I focused on myself too much at that moment. I woke up feeling happy and refreshed.

      2. I was inside of my room, in bed. I have a feeling that this dream was a WILD/FA because this was the first dream of my naptime today.
      I was lying in my bed and the lights were off. I could feel that my eyes were still closed, but I could see through my closed eyelids. I could see my entire room. Immediately after I noticed this, my mom opened my door and checked to see if I was asleep. Seeing that I was, she closed the door. Seconds later she opened the door again and looked inside, and then closed it again. She did this about 5 times, I guess that they either: couldn't tell that I was asleep, or they wanted to wake me up. My sister was right behind my mom as well while this happened.
      After the 5th time of coming into my room and then leaving, my mom finally came inside for sure and turned on my lights. (wth, this would've pissed me off in waking life). I didn't move and decided I was just going to stay still. "Mom, I can see through my eye-lids while my eyes are closed", I told her. "No, your eyes aren't even closed", she replied. I knew that my eyes were closed, but I didn't try arguing with her.
      My mom told me that I needed to get up because we were going somewhere, I don't remember what she said though.

      3. I was inside of someones house, it looked like my grandpa's house. A party was going on, and I was just sitting in the middle of the floor listening to music( lol, no idea why). All of a sudden, everyone came into the living room where I was sitting down, and they sat down too. A group a black dudes sat right behind me, but I stayed chill. Some lady came to the front of the living room and announced that the "Rewards ceremony" was starting.
      I put my music in, and as I did so I noticed that I had put in a phone charger plug into both of my ears. I could still hear music, so it didn't bother me and I didn't really care that I was listening to a charger plug. I was starting to fall asleep while I listened to my music when out of the blue, a black guy with dreads behind me pushed me on the shoulder. He was wearing sunglasses and his dreads reached down to the end of his neck.
      I took out my music and he told me that the Announcer lady had just called my name for a reward, but I was too late and didn't respond so she gave the reward to someone else. The black guy me was no really mad at me for not getting the reward. The lady kept giving out rewards and gave out about 15 or so of them. After the ceremony ended and she finished giving out rewards, everyone in the living room stood up and started drinking. I stood up as well and just chilled.
      Some lady, who I'm guessing was in charge of the party, came up to me and told me that I couldn't drink if I wasn't 18 years old. I told her that I was and she said, "Okay". She started walking away, but I walked with her to convince her better that I was 18. I told her that I had failed kindergarten 4 times and that's what held me back. Once I felt that she was convinced I left her side. I think I looked around for something to drink, but I'm not sure.

      4. I was downstairs in the living room of my own house, and I was talking to my dad and my sister. My dad was telling me some kind of story about our house and about 2 weird kind of birds that used to live in the kitchen. I mentioned something about it being the dreamworld, don't remember exactly what I said though. After he told me and my sister the story, I opened the front door of our house and walked out.
      I started walking towards the back door with an ambition to see whatever my dad was talking about. It was overcast outside and really dark as though it were about to rain. As I went through my gate and opened up my back door and walked inside, I saw some weird things. I saw two large bowls filled with some unknown mushy half-solid food. In between those two bowls I saw a really small green bowl with grayish-green mushy stuff inside of it.
      It was really dark inside my kitchen, and the only light inside was the light that was coming from outside, which wasn't much. I got really scared and ran out the back door and ran back in through my front door.

      5. I was with my friends Dylan and Patrick and we were walking in some kind of tunnel. The tunnel had air holes all around it, so not only could we breathe well, but we could also look outside and see what was around us. We continued walking through it, and it was really long. We finally made it to the end of the tunnel and saw an exit to get out of it. I looked down and out through the exit and saw 2 vans with some random mexican dudes just waiting next to them.
      I got a bad feeling about leaving the tunnel when I saw them, I felt like they were either going to harm us, or kidnap us. I told my friends that we shouldn't leave the tunnel. The next thing I remember, my grandpa is in the tunnel with us and we walk out of the exit. Suddenly the dream scene changed and now I was in my kitchen. All of the lights were off and me, my dad, and my grandpa were all talking about the dream I had with grandpa in it. Grandpa was telling my dad what happened in the dream and it was all based off of what I told him.
      I remember telling my grandpa about the dream inside of the dream. He continued telling my dad about the dream.

      6. I was inside some kind of huge arena, maybe a video game map? I looked up at the sky and saw that it was a dark orange and of course the sky was overcast. I was with someone, I think it was my sister, and we were trying to survive. We came to the cliff of this video game map and saw something that looked like half of a tennis court/basketball court that was completely rusted.
      I knew that I was supposed to launch something/shoot a cannon on this court. There were many of these courts across the map, and this one was the only one that was cut in half. I remember encountering many enemies across the map, but I don't remember any more of this journey.

    13. There should have been another way

      by , 08-16-2014 at 07:07 PM
      Guid recall last night - non lucid of course , boo hoo

      Started off being my wedding, I was walking alone doon a corridor with a tartan plaid over my head and getting tangled in my feet. Felt stupid. My bride appeared from stage right. Thought she wasnae marrying me as she had a woolly cardy on, but looking again it was pulled over her dress. Not familiar with the lassie, but she was a bonny thing and I gave her a hug. She said 'I almost didnae get here..'

      Scene transformed into my pals wedding recepition instead. I had the feeling of not really being allowed at the event and there was no sign of the groom. The bride fell over, exposing her naked feet with black cracks in the soles. She then sat in a heap and started greeting. A'body was very quiet apart fae one lad who walked behind me to get a tin of Tennants. One of my best pals was suddenly there and commented on the guy. 'Jings I wonder what his inside leg is?' - I guessed 36 , and my pal replied with 'Mair like 30-10' - I repeated what he said, and we both laughed most heartily....

      Then had a ususal 'real life' dream where a couple came in to complain aboot a jacket not fitting that they had with their kilt hire. The woman took forever to get the words out - very confused, but I dinny mind noo precisely the words she was using. I then looked at the jacket and then at the short wee man, who was actually wearing his kilt all so of rolled into a sort of belt. (over his troosers, luckily!)

    14. Realistic Nightmare and False Awakening, Ski Ball Bowling, Cake, and Roll Death

      by , 08-16-2014 at 03:14 PM (Krista's Dream Journal)
      Dream - Lucid

      I was going into Dallas and I's bathroom. It was very dark. I had to get up out of bed to poop. I started to sit on the toilet, when Dallas came into the doorway and started coming towards the toilet.
      "What are you doing? I have to poop!" I said. He kept coming. I got up. I assumed he had to poop too.
      "Are you really gonna make me use the other bathroom?" I said. He didn't say anything. I took that as a yes. I started to head towards the doorway to our bedroom to go to the guest bathroom. Dallas started to shut the door to our bathroom. I then started to hear noises coming from the living room area, and started to panic a little. Someone was in our apartment. Before Dallas could shut the door all the way, I caught it with my hand. I said something like
      "Dallas, someone's in our apartment!"
      I started to panic, and all my vision went black. I tried to scream for Dallas, but nothing came out. I then realized that I had been dreaming, and decided to calmly wait for myself to awaken instead of panicking.

      I then woke up on Dallas's chest. Phew, just a dream. I was so glad. I then started to hear noises again. I was really confused. Was I not awake? I started trying to wake Dallas up, but he was dead asleep. I pinched him, I tried to yell his name but again, it wouldn't come out. Really? Is this really a dream again?I thought to myself. Vision went black again,
      and then I woke up for real.

      Another 10 minute nightmare. I wasn't asleep long at all.

      ~

      I was at a bowling alley bowling with Dallas, but it was more like ski-ball; we were throwing smaller balls at the pins down the lane instead of an actual bowling ball. There was almost no one there; we were the only ones playing. Dallas then said something about how the bowling alley was closing for good soon; it was going out of business. I looked around and I could see why. It was so dead in there. I then went to throw my ski ball, but it slipped out of my hand and I accidentally threw it behind me.

      I then saw a very small child, a male toddler, carrying what looked like a six pack of beer up to the lanes, but it was actually a six pack of ski balls.


      ~

      I had these two cakes made for me. I was at work I believe. Both were big and delicious looking with cream cheese icing on them (freakin yum). One had off-white cream cheese icing with red decorations. I had to do something with them to keep them safe or something, I can't quite recall.

      Then, I saw the outside of my apartment. Someone was coming up the stairs. It was daytime outside. Then, something happened; a roll in a bag of rolls died? And it seemed so inconsequential, but I couldn't proceed with anything at all now. It was like playing a Sierra adventure game, where you don't do something in the beginning of the game and you get to the end and you have to start all over. I had to "start over" from a point before that to see if there was anything I missed, anything I could do to prevent the death of the roll.


      ~

      Yay insomnia! Again! Woohoo. Also these 10-minute nightmares are very puzzling to me. It has happened to me quite often in the past few months. I guess what I don't get it how am I dreaming without being in REM? I thought REM sleep came later in the sleep cycle? Like, I will literally be asleep for 10-15 minutes for these nightmares. There was one that I was asleep for about an hour. Anyone have any thoughts?
    15. Failed ToTM

      by , 08-16-2014 at 03:08 PM
      Yay, got lucid last night . A week or two ago I decided to really work on LDing. I spent some time examining myself and I realized that the only time i really put a lot of effort in was when I first started. That's going to change


      I was out playing football with a bunch of people then I suspected I might be dreaming so I did a RC and did find that I was indeed dreaming. I ran around for a bit trying to screw with people like holding on to the grass and letting my legs float up in the air and pretending I was being sucked off the earth, but no one was amused. Then, I decided to go for the eyeball ToTM so I RCed one more time then I stuck my index and thumb on either side of my right eye and tried to pull. I was a little nervous though so I didnt pull that hard. It didn't come out and as I was doing that I woke up.

      But it was a FA into my room at the other house I live in. I turned on my light so that I could write my dream down and then I wrote it down and went back to sleep.

      I was in a weird legend of Zelda like dungeon with my sister.

      I was in the zombie apocalypse with a group of people. Our leader had been captured by the zombies so we had to go save him. We only had these towels that were covered in some kind of poison to kill them. We went into the base, and a few zombies attacked is, but surprisingly there weren't that many.
