    1. A weird, recurring day in England

      by , 08-08-2014 at 11:33 AM
      I was in England. A lot of songs were being sung coming from a loud speaker, almost as if it were to distract you from something. Sounded kind of like propaganda. Trains; many trains carrying hundreds of spoons and forks, some carrying pork, all in Ziploc bags. One of the songs that was constantly sung was about spoons and forks, which sounded kind of like it was from CK2. Another was about Porkwood, whatever that is, and had a horse angry guy singing it. "Porkwood, Porkwood, it's good for you. Porkwood, Porkwood, [something else]. Porkwood, Porkwood, [another thing]. We sing our mighty tune!" I also remembered the spoon and fork song, but I forgot it now.

      I also remember my family being in my house. At some point in the dream, I remember seeing a Vietnam-War-esque army base, close to a jungle. It might have been a flashback. I also remember having to work with a powerful cop, then when he got to my basement, he turned on me, stated that I knew too much, and proceeded to order the soldiers that came with him to kill my entire family, as they went downstairs to the basement on their own, for some reason. I would then fail in killing him, and probably die (I forgot what would actually happen to me). I would then respawn at the point where I had to work with the cop. This time, it was a different cop, but the exact same thing happened. This kept recurring until the dream eventually ended. The excuse for it may have been time travel on my part. I should have realized that this was a dream then.
    2. Best NLD ever probably [08/08/14]

      by , 08-08-2014 at 09:58 AM (My lucid comeback!)
      Hi guys, it seems that auto-suggestion for waking up after a dream is working but I must focus on my induction techniques once I'm awake.

      1. The villa

      I'm with my family on vacation in Spain, we own a large villa that has atleast 5 swimming pools (1 indoor) and it has a view over the ocean. I mostly explore the house and get information about why it is build in that way. When evening falls and I'm eating dinner which the personel serves I hear something in the kitchen and decide to check it out. I suddenly get camera-feed of a woman (not personel) drinking from the kitchen sink and also spilling A LOT of water over the edge. Then I enter the kitchen for real and see how it's completely filled with water, the water is atleast 10 cm high and 2 house cleaners are desperately trying to dry it up with towels. Also large pieces of meat or other food float in the water around the fridge which makes it dirty too.


      2. What is wrong here?

      I just had gym and I'm the only person who's still there, I put my clothes on and have a feeling I'm forgetting something, something important. I'm there for quiet a long time but eventually decide to leave, now I feel like I'm too late for something.


      3. The best dream

      I'm relaxing at an indoor swimming pool of a house and as I look outside the large windows I see it's completely dark outside. After some time a group of young people (20-25 age) enter and ask if they could make use of the pool. I hesitate but then I remember this is not my house, I broke in here myself. I say sure and tell them I would get my laptop just upstairs. They jump in the pool and have a good time, even though I broke into this house I don't want to steal anything or leave any traces. The whole house has a different layout than mine IRL but upstairs they correspond quiet well. I first look around my sister's bedroom looking for Imacs and go through the drawers. After some time I find 3 Imacs, blue, white and black I think. I pick the blue one which belonged to the father of the house, it had a password which I couldn't find so I put it back and looked in my own room. I wanted to leave a note for the person who slept here telling him to live his live or something but as I was writing I noticed I couldn't read what I was writing and it kept changing letters I decided to just throw it away. I go downstairs which is completely different from IRL where I see some weird things like a door with a large man painted on it which I find funny so I take a picture of it. I look around some more but then I hear the family getting home. I rush to the cellar and tell everyone in the pool to leave now which they do. I run upstairs and the family who enters the kitchen barely misses me. I get to my sisters bedroom and need to get out fast and at the same time quiet without leaving any traces. I was EXTREMELY stressed and opened the window which made more noise than nescessary, once open I had to get passed the mosquito window which I somehow pushed out quietly. The window had a handle on the outside too so I could close it, I put the mosquito window back in and noticed the safety shutters weren't down so I thought of going back in and closing it but my instinct told me to run. I run across the rooftops and through old greenhouses (which a lot of people have here IRL). It's raining and cold but I feel so alive with my excellent parkour abilities. I make dangerous jumps which I execute perfectely I slip on some roof because they're wet but I actually do it in a very controlled way. Running through the upper levels of greenhouses with drops of 20 meters probably. It's difficult to explain the path I took but it was extremely hardcore parkour and I was the first to discover it probably, I also crawled through a lot of openings in the glass walls. when I finally reached the street far behind the house and my own I felt relieved. I was also scared, thinking if I left a trace I would go to prison, my mother was there too and already was suspicious of what I just done. She was very angry when I told her, she asked many times if I took anything or left any traces. I said no everytime and thought of what traces I left, which were none except the safety shutter which I didn't close.

      4. The aftermath


      I do an interview with the family about if they already knew a burglar had been in their house, the daughter of the family (who's window's safety shutters I didn't close) told me she sometimes forgets to close them anyway. I felt relieved to know they didn't have a clue it was me. Then my family asked me to do the parkour again as they were curious to how I escaped. I followed the parkour again and did it, but I was not as sharp or focused so everything went slower and I sometimes took a wrong turn. It wasn't raining so everything was dry and I couldn't slide on pipes, instead I had to climb on them. I had most difficulties with cimbing up some ropes in an old greenhouse but eventually I got to the top.

      Now here's something important, dream 3 was partially incubated by me the evening before. I heared the assasin's creed music on TV and ended up daydreaming doing parkour over the rooftops.

      Plan for next night:

      -Auto suggest waking up after every dream

      -Visualizing a dream in which I become lucid multiple times

      - Archief lucidity


      Plan for when I'm lucid:


      Focus on every detail to find differences between dreams and reality which hopefully will make me more aware of dreams in the future.

    3. Competition night #12

      by , 08-08-2014 at 09:18 AM
      Fragment 1:
      I'm trying to repair something that needs some specific screws that I know I have somewhere but I can't find. After what feels like about ten minutes of scrabbling around in various nooks and crannies, I give up, assuming the screws got hovered up or something.

      Fragment 2:
      I'm playing with portals like in the game Portal - would be pretty damn cool if I could remember more of it, especially if I can do it lucidly. Hmm, future TOTM?


      Dream 1 - Alien invasion part one:
      The world is taken over by some kind of alien slash demigod (I just watched Thor II and Guardians of the Galaxy) The water levels are rising and everyone is trying to find a spot on top of buildings or other high up places. For some reason it's important that everyone is quiet and there's something jangling in my pocket - little round bells about the size of peas, similar to the ones you get on a cat collar. Perhaps these are a remnant of the gizmo from the first fragment?

      I appear to be flying and aim to land on top of a silo like object with some other people. I'm desperately trying to shed the bells silently and manage to ditch the last handful into the water as I land, just as the baddie comes around the corner and starts casting some kind of spell on people. The spell turns people black in a non visual way (I don't know how better to explain it!) and as each person is labeled by the spell, they are assigned to a group of people, 4-6 per group.

      The groups are the same as in some previous grouping (is this the second invasion?) and people start being drawn through the air to join their groups. I am pulled off the silo, around a corner, and up the side of a multi story building. People are flying off the balconies to join their groups while I am drawn slowly up the side of the building to meet the people I was with before. The groups seem to be named after satellites in orbit with somewhat whimsical names (which I can't remember, I think stone were named after the four classical elements)

      Dream two - Alien invasion part two:
      After waking up for a minute, I end up in a new dream that seems to be a follow on from the previous one

      An older chap (reminiscent of Dale from the walking dead) is leading a group of people through deserted streets (I'm one of them)

      We appear to be some kind of resistance force against the alien invader, but when he shows up, "Dale" acts like he's cooperating and shows the baddie a giant sign he made listing the satellites. The sign is made from repurposed traffic signs and there are about 30 named.

      Baddie decides he doesn't approve and to demonstrate his opinion, he levitates the sign over to a giant unlit bonfire on a nearby hillock. Three are about a dozen minions swarming over the pile of junk trying to light it. After a few attempts, there's a fireball and most of the minions are inside it, a couple are just on the edge and run screaming on fire for a moment before dying.

      One comes running over screaming "Soy yo! Soy yo!" I expect him to be horribly injured but he seems to be OK. We take him inside the building we are standing next to.

      As we enter the building, the scenario transforms again. It's just me and a woman who appears to be my wife. We try to find a good place to sleep in this abandoned and barren building. The walls are whitewashed and it feels like a building that was not quite finished before it was abandoned. We settle in adjacent rooms, but I need to go through her room to get to the next one...

      Wake up to alarm.

      I try a few cheeky micro WILDs in the ten minute gaps of my alarm's size cycle without success. With a 20 minute gap, this might be a viable tactic...

    4. Flying in between clouds

      by , 08-08-2014 at 09:16 AM
      I started to comprehend my surrounding and I found myself to be flowing in air. It looked as if I was in between two layers of clouds. Clouds were separated by a few kilometers of blue sky. I was weightless. There were ghostly looking animals(some looking like snakes, some like birds...) - they tried to stop me to fly my direction... to change my direction. They were slower than me...
      Then I flew in between four massive pillars which stretched from below lower layer of clouds to nearly higher layer of clouds. They were more than kilometer thick- so massive... On upper ends of pillars there was an intricate grid with holes looking like flowers also from marble. I saw plants, trees on that marble grid, it was at least 1 kilometer above myself. Pillars were composed of veined marble... they were majestic... I felt like being on sacred place. Animal ghost were shrieking after me to stop, to not go any further, to go back...

      I flew further... marble grid with trees stretching above me and marking my path... I had feeling like some gods (or spirits) are angry with me, that I desecrated their place... they tried to stop me together with the animal spirits. And I flew in between another four massive pillars. The place felt even more sacred than first one. I flew further, through more such sacred places, dragging many angry spirits after me... In seventh sacred place the marble grid above ended. Pillars were much smaller and there was something like altar... I looked on all the spirits which were trying to stop me, only to see, they cant go into seventh sacred place... They looked now nearly black. I was filled with ave and respectful peace. I prayed for deliverance. On altar shining Being materialised. It looked for short time like some kind of minotaur with horns, than it slowly changed into buddha like person. I felt changes of my body. I was surprised- and then I felt changing back. The being was smiling on me and changed me again.

    5. 00:00 Friday 2014-08-08 Sensei Competition #1, night #12

      by , 08-08-2014 at 09:04 AM
      23:38 bedtime -- finally, making some progress on bedtime, shooting for 23:00 every night now.

      long time falling asleep, wife walking around room loudly and jumping in to bed later, it's hot and uncomfortable.

      00:00 Friday 2014-08-08

      05:12 dozing, wake to remee lights, sit up, bathroom, sit some more, still feel drowsy, wondering if I've been up too long, BTB

      06:50 can't sleep, get up, breakfast

      No recall at this point. Very depressed about this combined with the insomnia

      09:30 back to bed

      long time falling asleep

      11:20 wake to dark room, WTF did I sleep all the way through to evening? No it's lightning/thunder/rain storm. As I type this the lightning is so close it makes my computer monitor jump when it strikes. At least it's 10C cooler for now.

      +(f) leaving a church with son, I make a sacrilegious quip as I reach for the door handle and turn the knob to leave, I think I probably shouldn't have said that

      + with my GF who's planning a party, she complains this is the first time ever there will be too many girls at the party (it's because she's met so many lesbians recently), I take her into my arms, I'm below her at first, then I roll over and I'm on top of her she's in my arms and leaning back against the corner of a couch, and we enter a long, light, sweet kiss. I see her face, she's a beautiful young dark skinned Asian Indian with deep purple lipstick, it's so nice that I repeatedly try to pull away to tell her how nice this is and how long it's been but she doesn't let me disengage and all my words come out sounding like "Mmph" even though I'm coherently thinking my dialogue in my head.

      ^^ Very realistic, not being able to pull away though was weird...should have triggered an RC!


      +(f) standing on a high place looking down at a low place

      + sitting down by a TV, wishing the midget well on his performance, it's his test, flute music begins, I hear it perfectly and clearly, it's my favorite, Bach flute sonata in e minor (BWV 1034) first movement (without accompaniment) mistake right in the beginning, keeps playing, scene visuals change while music continues to a bizarre amalgam of strange umbrella-shaped trees like I saw recently on FB





      I almost fell back into a dream, I felt a sensation like I was standing and hopping lightly on my feet and had a dream entry sensation but then I woke up

    6. Little fragments

      by , 08-08-2014 at 04:00 AM
      Two dreams: I remember a porn star "Lexi Belle" caressing my fingers and then sucking on them. It felt quite good. Can't remember much of the area (a school maybe).

      The second dream was last night. It was a "wasteland". I was traveling with a group of people but can't really understand the reason for traveling. We come across a building and lo and behold there is a hurricane/twister in front of us. For some strange reason, I'm not afraid. One DC claimed that we're passing through the eye and just then there was a huge gust of wind visible twirling like a dust storm.

    7. Lost, 2 Short LD's, Backyard 4WD, Grand Theft Auto (8.8.14)

      by , 08-08-2014 at 03:19 AM (CHiLLEN's Dream Journal)
      Dream 1

      I'm outside standing in an open area. I can see the trees, and if looks like botanical gardens. I get a message from Germain telling me they're lost. I get another message shortly after from my brother with a similar message.

      I think I get in contact with my brother on the phone and he tells me to look for a green sign (highway direction sign). I look around and eventually see it in the distance. I think Kayley was with me at the time and she has gone towards where the green sign is. She finds a car with Germain and my brother. I think there was a couple others with them.

      Dream 2 - DILD

      I'm standing in a bathroom with my top off. I'm looking at my body and flexing and posing. I look more muscular and ripped then I look IRL. The bathroom doesn't look familiar but has a nice fresh look to it. I see a few odd things happen which makes me wonder if I'm dreaming, so I so a reality chick. I see that I am missing a finger but I'm not fully convinced and check check again. This time I have half a finger.. K I'm convinced now and realize I'm dreaming. I leave the bathroom and see that I'm at Germain's house. I don't stabilize the dream but try something that I haven't tried before but thought it would be interesting to see if it works. To find that pill which prolongs a dream. I reach into my back pocket and don't feel anything, but instead of give up I turn it into a false memory and think to myself "it's not in my back pocket, it's in the kitchen drawer. I walk into the kitchen and open the drawer and can't seem to find it. I awaken shortly after.

      Dream 3 - DILD

      I'm near a bush/tree and it has a massive sack of liquid around it it. Like a massive ball of puss. It ends up being cancer. Not sure if it's the trees cancer or someone's cancer. I walk around the tree and have a closer inspection.

      A story starts to get told to me and I see scenes etc. it's about a aboriginal man that had everything going for him. He had a career in the NFL and was a nice healthy muscly man. The man comes into my view in front of me and see that he is not the man he used to be. He has his shirt off and looks pretty thin and notice his skin is sagging. I ask him what happened and he tells me he got sick (I assume his cancer was what was on the tree). I see flash backs of his life and see him at a party. One of the scenes is a photo of him in his day and he looked totally different. He was a lot faller in the face and didn't look like he has aboriginal in him. The scene is now showing me more of the party and I see Bruce Buffer (UFC ring announcer) in his younger days. He's connected to a human train.

      I'm now in my house and I let my dog outside without supervision. I freak out and quickly go and check on him as i don't usually let him out by himself. I see him up the street. I walk towards him but see a lot of cars and I start to panic as my dog has no road sense what so ever.

      Im inside my house and I see that Dad gets off the computer and heads over towards the front door. I see that someone is still in the computer room and think that's odd that it's only myself and dad that is here. I do a RC and notice finger is half missing. I'm only lucid for a few moments before awakening.

      Dream 4
      7.15am

      I'm outside in someone's backyard. It looks familiar. I'm watching a 4WD driven by I think Luke Stool. He's spinning the wheels and doing 360's on the grass. I decide to jump on the side of the 4WD. He starts spinning the wheels again and I think a child is now driving the 4WD. I start to worry about he dangers of me being on the side of the 4WD while they're driving like this and eventually get off it. I see them drive off into an extended area out the backyard. It's as if they have their own track. I think about Ash Comp in the garage waiting for them to get back.

      I walk inside and Kayley tells me that Daniel was in the 4WD, drunk and as a passenger. His friend Barlett was driving. I walk into the lounge room and see that Daniel is sitting down and Barlett is laying on a beanbag. It looks like they're playing Xbox. I shake both their hands and start a convocation with them. Dani offers me a beer but I decline. He gets me one anyways and I take it. I look at can of Victorian Bitter and notice that it looks weird. It's wider than a normal can and looks to have curve going downwards between 2 cans. The hole which you drink out of looks flush with the can. A nice smooth finish. On the right hand side of the can looks like someone has punctured a hole in it. I become suspect that he may have put something in it without telling me.

      Daniel asks if me if I would like to play cricket in the lounge room. I grab the bat off him and line up at the end of lounge room. The item that's placed on the ground in front of me that was marking the crease falls over as he bowls the ball towards me. He bowls out but I tell him I was distracted by the falling crease and was about to fix

      It as he bowled. As I'm fixing the crease I see a lot of random shit on the ground that could be used for a crease but i pick something simple like a straight piece of plastic, the size of a ruler. I hear voices in the background, and soon realize it's guests. I recognize them, it's Jane and Sonja. Jane looks pretty good looking and has toned her body up nicely. Sonja invites me to come for a smoking session with them. I explain that I don't handle most weed too well, it tends to make me anti social and dumb. They tell me about one of their friends who is quite similar when it comes to smoking.

      Dream 5

      I'm walking with Daz up Germain's court and we see a white car. I think about stealing it but soon realize there's a man in the front seat. Daz doesn't care too much and decides to attempt to steal it anyways. I jump in the passenger side and rip the man out of the car and throw him in a pool which is 5 meters away. A man walking in the distance saw what happened and calls the police. I jump in the drivers seat and try to drive away. The man that called the cops is running over to the car to stop me. I try to drive faster but the car hasn't got much acceleration. I get away and head for the main road. I see a group of people half way down the court. One of them tries to stop the car but I avoid him. It looks to be raining and turns dark as I reach the main intersection. I feel as if I'm still getting chased and am in a hurry for traffic to allow me to cross the road. I see my chance and go for it. As I'm driving I notice that Daz isn't in the car with me but is on a motorbike. I ask him if he wants to come inside the car did to it raining. He likes the idea and tries to come to a stop and ends up going straight over the handlebars into a pond. I don't think Daz was wearing any protective clothes that would keep him warm either.

      Side Notes:
      Alarm hasn't been waking me up. Seem to be having natural awakening. Kept forgetting to continue sleep breathing upon awakening to try and bring on a dream. Tried it once but I think I was too awake. Time to follow a routine and stick to it without changing things up.
    8. Taking Off My Glasses Practice

      by , 08-08-2014 at 01:57 AM
      I just wanted to add this really quick, it's not much but it counts. I had this dream when I fell asleep in mid-afternoon while watching anime with a friend (who also fell asleep).

      When my memory kicks in I was already lucid, and the dream was a little hazy. In my previous lucid I had successfully increased the vividness by repeatedly taking off my glasses without ever putting them back in, so I decided to try that again. It worked several times in a row, but I'm not really sure if the change stuck around for long as that's the last thing that I can recall.

      I feel like there was more to that dream and I probably did some totally badass things just to make me feel about forgetting out now, as usual. Maybe more will come back over time but we'll see....
    9. 8/7/14 Sky, Sex & More Sex!! - Sensei's Competition Night 11

      by , 08-07-2014 at 11:29 PM
      Tonight I took a break from goals and I feel like that paid dividends!..explanation at the end...

      8/7/14***
      11 355am Being chased by a big Ebola virus caricature. He shows up in several locations. Oh no not Ebola again!?? This time in dark house with fireplace going. Previously in another house. Didn't feel particularly scared. Explanation that if he shows up more than 18% of the time, you have the virus? He was like a big long dreadlocks wig standing maybe over 6 feet tall. Weird day residue from the Ebola virus news story. / I am looking up at constellations in the sky and notice one is particularly bright. I point it out to someone and all the sudden it looks very normal no longer super bright and I realize that I'm dreaming. When I first saw it it was like almost as bright as the moon. It was mostly semi circular in shape. I haven't had one of these night sky based DILDs in a while and was excited to see this. Took a walk last night during sunset and could already see some beautiful stars and the moon and afterwards watched two tv shows about space on the
      Science Channel. Anyway, I flew up into the sky wanting to head closer to the constellation but, I started experiencing strong vibrations...possibly day residue from reading Sensei's dream journal. I play with the vibrations trying different levels of softly or more aggressively clenching my eyes to check the effect and I start to see a scene form
      but I lose it and wake up. / I travel through two big rectangular levels of what seems most like an apartment building. I pass many different DC's. In one area on the first floor near where I started there's a party going on that seems somewhat Mardi Gras themed. I give a few head nods to the party goers as we pass. I am with my wife and son. I get down to the end of that hall coming down towards the next level and there is another party going on mostly younger crowd than the previous one. As I am observing the second group I notice my son and wife has left but I retraced my steps and find them and get mad at
      them for leaving me back there not telling me that they were walking away. / there's an appointment before 5pm Wednesday that I need to make for a side gig that is in conflict with my work schedule. / I am in this club-like or party setting and there is some kind of neon sculpture on the wall of a woman's butt. I think about the earlier party dream and the connection between the two seems to be what makes me lucid. I go down to the right and then right again into a little wing of this club or whatever it is and there is this beautiful petite thin black woman sitting between two big black guys. At first I ignore them but then I decided it's a great way to test or prove my level of lucidity to myself and strengthen it...and it's better not to have any interference from any unfriendly DC's. I say something like hey you don't mind if I borrow her for a moment (more like a Jedi mind trick statement...not a question). Cool! I reach over and give a handshake (dc interact) to the big guy on the right. She gets up and approaches me and I asked her to remove her top. She was wearing a bikini-like top and she revealed beautiful smallish perky breasts. I whip off both her bottom piece and my clothes in one TK swoop of my hands as if the clothes were never there. I lift her up and she wraps her legs around me, with me inserted inside of her. I walk around the club lifting her body up and down occasionally on my (ahem) enjoying this awesome scene for a while. I just remembered this detail > I see another woman, maybe latino, with large breasts and I ask her to remove her top and as she does I see man boobs and look up and she is now a chubby black guy. I poke at his man boobs and joke with him in a friendly way. < I walk back towards where I first entered and over to my left is a different wing that looks like a bedroom. I approach it and there is another beautiful woman inside slouching on a bed and the first woman has disappeared off of me. I approach the second woman she has dark hair , she is white and wearing pink lingerie. The bed coverings are also in silky pink. I lay down on the bed and gently start making out with her then straight to intercourse for a little while before
      waking up...I think for real. / I doze back off doing some mental recall but wake into a false awakening and my wife and son is there and I start to tell them about becoming lucid but then I remember that they don't like the idea of "messing with dreams" like that (memory was slow to catch up and I am not lucid). I instead told them about the dream regarding the appointment before 5pm since it is fairly ordinary and it shouldn't take any offense to me remembering an ordinary dream! The transition after the above is not clear in my memory, it must have either another FA or a transition within that last scene but I saw the woman from the bedroom in the earlier dream and instantly knew I was dreaming again! I walked over to her as she was walking away into a hallway and I caught up with her. We started making out they're in the hallway end another blonde woman who was apparently her sister comes out of the bedroom and I start kissing her as well! We are making out (dc interact) in the hall and they start inching me towards the bathroom. For once the DC's are taking charge and I don't mind! We get into the bathroom and it seems as if their idea was for some privacy and I think for a moment about closing the door behind us but remind myself that there is no need, this is all a dream. They both go down and my pants and underwear are gone and they both started going at my (ahem) and I am just looking down fascinated at the realism and highly enjoying the two of them who both seem very skilled! I wake up smiling ear to ear and after trying to go back in, I roll over and pulled out my hidden paper dream journal to write down a few quick notes so that I don't forget any details. After some quick notes I experiment with getting to sleep quickly using two short (combined senses) SSILD cycles that take no more than about 5-7 seconds. I do quickly get to either advanced dreamlets or the beginnings of dreams that I seem to be scaring away
      being a little too alert. This night I was reminded of my other theory that I was experimenting with two nights ago but forgot to log that basically says that if you maintain awareness into HI's and then go to sleep then you are more likely to have a DILD. That has probably been said before but much of this process is all about discovering things for yourself. 185-187

      I was considering what to do about my extended RC's specifically for the competition having become so rote. During my RC's I invoke the feeling of becoming lucid, slow myself down and then run through my goals for the competition. I had been doing this since maybe the 2nd or 3rd night and I had a long list of items to complete. I completed roughly half of the ones I had worked out ahead of time quite a number of nights back while lucid. After that I just worked on the 2nd half of my goals during the extended RC's during the day...but since the last half was the same as it had always been, it felt worn out and tired so yesterday I decided to just focus on doing anything fun for my next lucid. I think this made me more excited about getting lucid and resulted in a very fun triple!
    10. Recreating the World // Buying a House

      Recreating the World

      I remember that I was supposed to recreate the world in such a way that some specific organism would thruve. The thing is, they had gone extinct, and only then did humanity find that our existence is tied to theirs. And so I was given the mission of somehow going back in time and recreating a world in which those organisms would live instead of dying off. I can't remember exactly what kind of organism they were, but they were microscopic things. I also vaguely remember shrinking myself down to a tiny size to observe one.





      Buying a House

      I was touring some houses that were for sale Up North. I was going to buy one, but hadn't decided on which one to buy.

      I vaguely remembered something about being a teacher in a classroom, and the kids were playing Dead Fish and they were all actually dead fish until they moved. then they would pop and become young humans again.

    12. Notes for 8/6/2014

      by , 08-07-2014 at 09:31 PM
      5mg of Melatonin keeps me up, messes up recall completely.
      1.5mg of Melatonin makes me start dreaming earlier in the night and fall asleep within ~45 minutes.

    13. Of Course, I should have realised....

      by , 08-07-2014 at 09:04 PM
      Two non lucid dreams last night, there were moments in each where I cant believe I never realised I was dreaming!

      1 - Climbed up a load of trees to a wee cliff, then found out I couldn't get back down. It was dark but not scary. Noticed two lassies on another wee cliff to the right of me, I called out to them , one got a wee fright but then calmed down. I shouted once for help. Very soon after a ladder appeared in front of me and a lassie in a wedding dress climbed up and stood in front of me (this would have been the point I should have said - erm, this is a dream, aye?) . I looked at the lassie and said to her 'Amanda Murray' (In real life shes a girl I met once in the shop I run, shes a friend on facebook but that's all). She repeated her name, and in an instant we were at her hoose. It wasn't a nice house , bit dirty looking and there was a party going on. I recognised a few people, including one friend from school who said he knew me but couldn't remember my name. My wife was suddenly there. I wasn't drinking, but got handed some spirit in a funny looking plastic device. Me and my wife went to the front room where there was a skinhead sitting down and a couple of big scary dogs.

      2 - Standing in a room with a late middle aged couple. Tall man and short dumpy woman with glasses. They pointed to a poster of Scottish wildlife and said - 'Well, we've seen everything except these two' - they pointed to two gaps in the poster where there was nothing but I knew they meant Red & Roe Deer. (The moment this time I should have realised) I said to them ' Well, I could show you them but it might take a full day' (which is true) They replied by saying ' Well if you ever come to stay with us in Canada then we could show you them there' I said 'Do they have Roe deer in Canada?' The woman looked at me like I was stupid then nodded her head.
      We then joined a queue for something, no idea what....

    14. Dreams of the Night, Almost Lucid Twice again

      by , 08-07-2014 at 05:03 PM (One Up Seeker)
      1. I had just walked into some sort of house, and I was with a group of people I knew and we were about to play hide and seek. This house was only one story but still probably covered around 5,000 square feet. The game started and I started walking to the back of the house. I walked through 4 or 5 huge rooms before I got to the room I wanted, and it was really dark. No one else had gone this far back, I was the only one. I looked around and became a little uneasy.
      I thought to myself, "What if this is a dream? Nah its too real to be one." With that I looked around for a hiding spot. I decided to hide next to the bed that was in the room, but under a pile of clothes, which, I hope were clean. I sat down on the far side of the bed so no one was able to see me unless the walked passed the bed. I then sat down and grabbed a pile of clothes and put them on top of me. Somehow I ended up also putting a trash bag on top of myself.
      The game had started and the seeker was looking for everyone who was hiding. I waited a long time, but no one came back to where I was. It was a little creepy back here, but other than that it wasn't that bad. I got up out of my hiding spot and made my way back to the front of the house and left.However, I had forgotten my green snap back inside the house somewhere. I went back inside the house to find it As I walked through the rooms I had walked through before, I came across a dude. He had blonde hair, a red t-shirt on, and some basketball shorts. I asked him what he was looking for and he told me he was looking for his toy action figures. This guy was probably about my age, but was a little mentally slower(not making fun of him though). I walked around with him to look for his action figures. Also, I didn't mention, but I found my snap back right as I found this guy. It was on the floor in the same room I found him and he picked it up and handed it to me.
      We looked everywhere it seemed and still didn't find them. Finally we walked to the back of this house where I hid to play hide and seek. We looked in the closet in this room, and by the way it was still really dark. He opened up the closet while I looked around. I remember coming across a mirror and thinking about how real this was and that it couldn't be a dream. The blonde dude told me he had found something. I came over to the closet he was looking in a saw some transparent action figures. They were star wars action figures but almost all of them wear clear like glass. Each one of these star wars guys was riding a bluish futuristic motorcycle. I asked the guy if these action figures were his, but he said no.
      We left the closet and decided to go back into the house a little further, into the very last room. In this room, it was almost completely dark, and there were no lights. We walked to the back of this room where we saw a door. I walked up to the door and opened it slowly, it was the back stage of the house, like the entire house was set up for a play or something. But the house was complete, it wasn't cut in half like most theater type environments. Anywho, I listened for a moment. I heard a "worker" in the back stage. I saw some blue lights around but other than that everything was black on the surface. I told the guy next to me we should close the door and not go back there.
      After I closed the door back up, I walked back to the front of the house. I told the blonde guy that I had to go, and with that I walked out. I walked across an area of cement pavement where alot of other people were. There was a guy behind me, he was mexican, and he was in a hurry and kind of told me to get out of the way in an indirect way. Luckily for him, I was just about to go inside. I made my way into this mall that was infront of me. As I went inside I noticed it was very nice, with white buffed tiles, and white walls too. There were many stores every lined along each side of the walls.
      I went to my left down the left hallway and walked around. I looked at the stores. I passed one store that was named, "mall" and I felt the urge to go inside of it. I don't know why it was called mall, because I thought this was the mall. Anyways, I didn't turn around to quickly go back in, it occurred to me that I would look awkward and out of place to do so(lol). So I walked up past the store a little more and as I turned around to walk back I noticed a group of girls I knew. Somehow, I had the feeling that they were going to follow me. Lindsey, a beautiful blonde was in the group as well with her other friends. I didn't feel like talking to them right now, so I just walked past them and ignored them. Right as we passed each other, a tall wooden sign go in our way so we could't even see each other anyways.
      As I passed Lindsey and her friends, I noticed a large girl store directly to the left of me. The store had no walls though, it was as if it were out in the open. I remember reading a sign that said something along the lines of, "Girls, you need to make your man happy, and here's how to do it!" I thought" wow, I never knew girls thought this way." There were signs all around reinforcing how girls needed to do this, and how to do it. I don't have ANY idea why, but when I read one of these signs, I broke out into a mini, solo dance off. I danced in all these weird girl moves, but again I have NO idea why.
      As I walked past this girl section, I looked back and saw Lindsey way back there. I continued on my way to the "mall" store, but the dream ended.

      2. I was in my neighborhood, and I had gotten a huge gash on the bottom of one of my feet. I looked at it and could see inside of my foot, it was nasty and it really hurt. I came up to a parking lot where my friend's sister's Corvette was parked. It was really nice and had a red paint job. I told my sister to get in and drive because this was an emergency(my foot) and I needed to get to the hospital now. She got in, pulled out of the parking spot and started to drive. She was a pro! She had never driven before this, but still was really good at driving. She drove onto the main road of our neighborhood and started driving to the hospital.
      However, at this point I realized how bad it was to be stealing my friend's sister's Corvette just to go to the hospital for something that I could handle with a while longer. As we came back to the parking lot, cops were already there, sirens blazing and everything. I looked at the driver of the car and my sister was no longer there. Instead, my good friend Patrick was driving now. I said, "dude this is bad, look at all of these cops." He laughed and said, "I know", but didn't seem at all nervous or upset. We honked our horn to let the cops know where we were and parked behind a building not far from them. We got out only to meet Emily, and when she saw that it was us who had stolen her car she laughed and was relieved. I think I told her where we were going, but I don't remember. At this point, I said goodbye to the two and started walking home with my cut-open foot. I walked on the sidewalk back on my way to my house.
      Somehow, I ended up taking a detour and walking down another street and continuing from there back to my house. I remember why now, there was a big accident and I wanted to avoid it and the area around it, so I did. As I walked up this street to avoid the scene of the accident, I could here police sirens as loud as ever. There were 3 or 4 police cars on the right side of the main road where the accident was. Two cars had crashed and one the cars was black, which a lady was driving. As I continued walking down the street I heard the woman from the car screaming. I looked over to the accident, which was in clear view from where I was.
      I couldn't see the woman, but only her partly smashed car. I was afraid of looking for too long because I didn't want to see anyone come out of the car disfigured or anything. Once again, I continued walking. I started noticing around 10 people start running past me. I wondered why they were running. At this point I thought to myself, "What if this is a dream, with all this weird stuff going on? Nah its way too vivid to be a dream." (Dang it, every time!) I kept walking and looked more closely at the people that were running past me. One of them was a tall blonde with her hair back in a ponytail.

      3. I was in some sort of nice office and had gotten on my laptop. I had started a webcam conversation with a doctor about my foot and its huge gash about 2 inches wide. I asked the doctor if I would need any kind of surgery to fix my foot. He said, "Yeah, we're going to have to cut a part of your pectoral muscles out, so it will tighten that area." (Wow, sounds like it will really work) I thought to myself, "Crap, this means I won't be able to do my Pec workouts for a while." And in the dream, the procedure made sense and it didn't seem odd or anything-Cutting into your pectoral muscle to fix your foot- why didn't I think of that.
      I continued talking to the doctor on the webcam and he was wearing an all-white coat and had black hair. He looked like a guy I've seen on t.v., but I don't remember who. All of a sudden, the doctor started ignoring my questions about my health and started stripping down naked(what in the hell is going on). He got fully naked on camera and just kind of sat there talking to other people. I found out that I was in some sort of chat room with a lot of people. These other people- these other dudes, didn't mind the doctor being naked at all. In fact, its what they wanted.
      I was a little weirded out about this, because I wasn't gay, and I never will be(no offense to those who are). However, I tried continuing the conversation about my foot. The doctor kept ignoring my questions as if I wasn't even there. Minutes later he proceeded in telling everyone that he was getting off of his cam for the night. He then turned off his cam.
      "Wow", I thought, "How am I going to get this surgery done"(Now that I think about it, I dont know if I would've wanted this procedure, knowing that the doctor likes getting naked on cam in front of random dudes).

      4. This was a really long dream, and I dont remember all of it. But heres what I do remember:
      I was outside next to a tall stone pillar at night, talking to a nicely figured brunette. I barely knew her, but somehow, we were sexually attracted to each other. I remember starting up foreplay out in public. I put my hands up her shirt and started kissing her. She wanted to hold off until we weren't in public, which I knew was understandable. I told her I wanted to eat her out, and that really aroused her.
      Later, we were in a library talking(seems private enough lol). We started getting sexual again with each other, but then, a group of my friends showed up. Great, 12 friends from school showed up. I told the girl I would be right back and went to talk to them real quick to get them to stop cock blocking me. Once I got over to my friends, I first tried talking to Neal, who, for some reason, tried convincing me that he wasn't Neal, he was Neal's brother(wtf). Neal doesn't have a twin brother, but somehow it clicked in my brain, "Oh yea, your Neal's brother Travis", "Yea bruu you got it right" said Neal.
      I handed him a handful of what looked like chucky cheese coins, no idea why, and continued back to my girl( I assume it was some sort of payment so everyone would stay away). When I got back to her we went to the back of the library and I started up foreplay again. I told her what I was going to do to her. She told me in an enticing way, "You better be nice to me." I told her I would, but again, I didnt get any farther than 2nd base, but I do think I managed to get my hand down her pants before the dream ended due to my excitement.

      5. I was inside of a room with Rihanna and some other beautiful girl. Rihanna had long hair and was dressed in lingerie.
      The lingerie was purple, yellow, and blue I believe. She was standing next to the bed stand leaning on a wooden pole.

      6. I was in a cafeteria in some school. Some big event was going on onstage(stages are in the cafeteria in my schools). I had just sat down at a table. Whoever was in charge told me I could take off my jacket. All attention shifted towards me as I stood up and took of my heavy duty jacket. Underneath I was wearing a long sleeve red shirt, almost crimson in color. The collar on this shirt was really tall and I felt like it was too big.
      As I sat back down in my seat, I looked over to the table at my left and saw the girl I had a crush on. She was a gorgeous redhead with the most beautiful eyes ever. Her hair was in a pony tail. We looked at each other for a second, but then I looked away so things wouldn't seem awkward. Later I remember looking at myself in the mirror and my hair had gotten really poofy and frizzy and was even combed back.

    15. 8/6/14 my first lucid dream!!

      by , 08-07-2014 at 04:38 PM
      Wow! I had my very first lucid dream last night! It was brief, and I didn't have as much control over it as I would have liked, but I'll take this small victory for now and keep on working at it.

      Three Fingered Hands (LD)

      I was in a large classroom after hours with a few of my co-workers, specifically Jason, Rebecca, and another female who I can't remember. I was goofing off with Jason, I believe making paper airplanes. I remember looking down at my hands, and seeing my ring and middle finger disappear, leaving behind nothing but stubs when I would focus on them. I looked at them for awhile, not realizing I was in a dream, until it finally dawned on me. “Holy S***, I’m dreaming,” was the first thing I said as I felt the dreamworld immediately begin to fade. It started to blur at the edges, almost like a water color painting that had too much water. More like washed out. I remembered reading that rubbing your hands together was one of the best ways to get the dream stabilized, so I rubbed my three-fingered hands together, and felt this smooth, cool, electric like feeling under my skin.

      The room became crisp again, and I ran up to Jason and said “Dude! You’ll never believe it, I’m actually dreaming right now and I can control it!” Surprisingly, for my first conversation with a DC, his response was pretty true to his character. “No s***,” he said, “that’s awesome.” I tried to get Rebecca’s conversation, but she was wrapped up in her conversation with the other girl and kept telling me off.
      could it be that I don’t remember this other girl since I didn’t interact with her at all before or after lucidity? I remember that the other two characters at this point were well known to me from the beginning, but their identities were crisper once I achieved lucidity. I picked up one of the paper airplanes and threw it, not making it very far. Jason came up to me and said, “Have you tried looking in the mirror yet?” and I thought, you know what, no I haven’t. Thanks Jason.

      Looking around the room, I couldn’t find any mirrors, as two walls were covered in windows showing dark night sky outside, and another wall was covered in an oversized green chalkboard, still dirty with white chalk dust. So I walked out of the classroom, and entered a dim hallway. I saw a mirror at the far end, but ignored it as it was dark there. Instead, I entered a doorway that led into a large bathroom. Inside were two other gentleman, but I can’t remember who they were. The back of the bathroom almost seemed to turn into a large maze of a locker room, with many showers and lockers just out of sight.
      In retrospect, this room is something I have dreamed about before, except it has always been empty. I know it is like a maze, because even though I didn’t explore it this time, in the past I have in a non-lucid dream. I remember that there are doors further back that lead to more showers/lockers, and more doors, etc. I walked up to the mirror and looked at myself, not finding anything peculiar about my appearance is this normal? The dream started to fade yet again, and I tried to focus myself on something. Once it stabilized, I tried to let the other gentlemen in the room know what was going on, but the dream began to fade yet again, and this time I could not control it.
