What a completely crazy night!!
I wonder if I might sometimes really forget these things - or it's an absolute new one: four lucid episodes - I kid you not!!
I did a WBTB relatively early in the night - after hardly four hours.
They were all reasonably long, even if I didn't get something done, not overly much. But I went about stabilizing exercises - and sometimes to good effects!
Recall was excellent again directly upon waking - but I didn't dictate in between and so former normal dreams are lost, which I did have upon middle of night waking.
Oh - edit: And what is really funny - I was pretty tipsy if not drunk upon falling into bed - friend of mine had been coming around for playing darts, and drinking is somewhat traditional, at least I indulged in it despite expecting negative effects on dreaming - nope!


LD #1: I get lucid out of the blue, while looking at an intricately patterned curtain, do a nose-plug and yepp - lucid. Thinking of the last one, I do as if nothing was and walk out of the building. It is a pretty lucid - not of otherworldly shine and beauty - but compared with what I often have - half dark and visual troubles of some sort, something dissolving when I look at it - it's really good. So I decide this is going to be it - walking about and looking for a while. I remembered the comp, but didn't care - what counted for me was keep stuff as is and not endanger it with being ambitious.

It's not a DEILD-chaining, the next one - but I woke up drank a sip of lemonade and rolled back on over and start to dream normally and then

LD #2: Almost directly after starting to dream, I notice it again and do the nose-plug. This time, I think 5 senses - again not comp, really - I just want it fully realistic. So I look about, which again works nicely enough, if nothing special, and I hear things and then I go to a cabinet and smell it - doesn't smell - so I take a bite - tastes like rice-crispies or something, makes crackling noises as well. Then - mistake - I pat myself down and the cabinet, which leads to an absurd attraction - I have to admit it - I get "involved" with said cabinet and wake up in the process - dayam - don't even need people for this sort of mishap...

Then there was a regular dream or anyways more time in between and then:

LD #3: Meanwhile I think - heey - wow - lucid again!! No dreamsign and no RC needed to find out - it's simply obvious within, that it is again a dream. I dutifully do a nose-plug for the point, and this time I want to do something for the comp. But I was too stupid to in the middle of the night or the evening before incubate something, definitively not expecting even more lucids. So I stand there and remember parts of the long lists of dream-control stuff to do - and nothing takes my fancy. Forgot my rest of the 3-stepper completely, and my personal task - so I think I try telekinesis again, because that wasn't easy, but did work. I try it with different things - with a stool first, and it doesn't move - with a cushion - and it also doesn't move. I remember the leaves then, and that I had waved my arms about wildly in front of a heap of them (but from a distance). So I do that again, with the cushion, shout at it, too - and it levitates a bit, ruffling about in itself, but it's not exactly satisfactory - and I wake up.

Similar like the first couple - I don't stay still or fall asleep instantly again - but right in the next dream I get lucid again.

LD #4: This time I had reminded myself of the superflight stuff still being open, do an RC and take to the air from standing, which was satisfying, a bit with imagining gravity reversing for me and with the usual swimming thing as a means to direct the path - but - I lose optics and wake up. I guess it's good to stay on ground for a while for stability's sake...

Dream #1: A story with my ex-boyfriend, and the flat from last night played a role as well - he was totally over-tired after having worked through more than 24 h, and I put him in my bed in the flat from last night, the one originally belonging to my gay friend there. I could write more, but I hope this is enough for now - no - nothing happened in that bed, at least not that I remember, I just put him there to sleep.
Edit: And I mentioned the details because of the in-dream-remembering of a prior dream element, which I find to be a curious phenomenon. Some features even seem to take on a sort of life of their own in dream-land, become a fixture, almost...
Na - the story was more of me convincing him to stop working finally and give over to somebody else and come rest somewhere. Now upon editing much of it is lost, and I'm not even sure, if it's true, that I woke up, when he fell asleep, more or less..? Whatever.

Dream #2: Horrible nightmare - birthday party for me supposedly, with family, and an ex-stepfather of mine is there, plus a supposed new one with my mother, my grandmother, my real father with my two half-siblings and a couple of others. It's a hate-fest, lets say it so - my mother and her (ex-) partners are positively mean to me and each other, my father sits there perplexed and half amused, half taken aback. I get quite angry, try to hold it down and not explode. I know if I do, they will demolish me, expecting it, baiting me.
After a while I jump up from the table and say to my brother and sister - lets go mountain-hiking - which we do. We've been in an open air restaurant directly in the mountains - they are relieved and happy to get away from it, too. So does my father - he leaves as well.
There's a funny scene with a little girl showing us the way, maybe 4 years and in traditional dress, but with shining orange eyes - like an evil sprite - but we know, she wants no bad - she's just too fast for us - jumping like a mountain-goat from stone to stone, so she disappears in front of us. We're hiking, and it has several scenes, but finally we come back down to that party. Still everybody is there, my father is back, and still people are insulting and reproaching each other, but they happily turn their attention back on me again, too much recall for my liking...
I woke up in a huge sweat from that - the last scene was my mother holding my hands tight in hers, and I knew, if I wanted to get away, I'd have to break hers, or mine, or both our bones. I wake up before anything breaks, while still straining and trying to figure out what to do.

I almost never have a proper nightmare with some sort of monster or danger or something - I believe I journalled only around three of such a tendency over my whole time on DV. Oh - and one monster I remember now was a "horror-rabbit" in black with red eyes - not even overly big - but one sinister rodent that was - it needed only look at me to curdle the blood in my veins...
My nightmares tend to be of a social kind, if I have them, which is luckily also rather rare - but that was one!!



Fragment #1: Trying to find my glass with dry red-wine back, there are lots on the table, but all have sweet wine and belong to somebody else - I don't find it, but people get pissed off because of me touching their glasses and leaving prints. Not that I tried their wine - nope - dirtied their glasses...

Fragment #2: My grandmother in hospital, very sick...

5:52 p.m.

I was in an Amway event. I was with mom. It's along city streets, but not familiar. My orientation of it was somehow near Greenfields (where there's a weekly Saturday bazaar). I was talking to the woman who's selling the tickets for another event/promo. Mom wanted to join but I can only afford one at the time. I asked the woman questions about whether the ADC in Shaw transferred. She mentioned some other unfamiliar places, but she's also unsure.

I was walking down a wavy path, bordered by plants and then some sort of plant hangers above. The "wave" is just like a sea wave, i.e. up and down, not sideways. There was supposed to be some sort of zip line to make the travel easier, but I didn't take it. It was easy enough. I had a sense of deja vu, like I was there before. I met up with some friends who also took the path.

Nearby, there were some pagans praying or praising someone or something. I think they were praising or chanting one old woman's name, but the old woman didn't want it so she chanted something else, a name of a deity or nature. Everyone else followed.

I was in a restaurant. Or was it a fast food chain? I was with a friend (Amben?). I was going to order something. I also had a feeling of deja vu, like I've been in these places in other dreams.

NOTES:

- Slept at around 9:30 a.m.
- Ate in Jollibee last night (I didn't sleep after).

I was not myself. I was female. I think I was working for se sort of law enforcement organization. I was trying to "entrap" someone to try to reveal what they did illegal about a house. My boss reminded me to not purger myself in the process, and in this dream any lie seemed to be close to purgery.

So I had my first lucid in months!! And the first lucid in Sensei's competition. It was so much fun! Yay!

I woke up at 7.30 this morning and I wrote down 3 dream fragments. I probably could have dug deeper and remembered at least on of them fully, but I'm stuggling with the motivation to write the dj. and so they stayed only fragments. I then lay awake for a bit thinking I would do a WBTB, I was awake for maybe 20 minutes? Then I got comfy again and tried to go to sleep. I repeated a mantra to myself for a minute or two about how I would fall asleep and realize I was in a dream. After a while of twisting and turning, not being able to fall asleep I did a nose plug, and I could breathe! Only through one of my nostrils, but I could breathe!! But how could it be? I was still in my bed trying to fall asleep! But wait, was I? I looked around and realized I wasn't in my bed after all. I was on a mattress on the floor somewhere else. I got up and went to the bathroom, doing another nose plug (I couldn't believe I was lucid) still could breathe, but only through one nostril. I kept my nose plugged for a while, wondering how I could do that and not "choke" in real life, I then realized it's only my dream body that's got its nose plugged... Even though I was lucid my awareness was low at this stage. I suddenly realized I was standing in a bathroom scrubbing the toilet and I thought "I'm not using my LD to scrub down a filthy toilet!!" So I stood up and tried to remember my goals. I remember the competition and some of the tasks. Should I try flying? I have had a plan that if I did become lucid I would summon a 'musical muffin', eat it and try to sing! So I placed my hands behind by back and thought "when I bring my hands in front of me again there will be a musical muffin in my hands. And there was! It was a bit unclear/hazy, but had a creamy cheese topping with a 'musical note' as a decoration. I hurried to take a bite, and as I did I wondered how it didn't taste anything. After eating a bite of it I tried to sing - very quietly, because I was afraid someone might hear me. And I was disappointed, my voice was even poorer than in real life. LOL! Here the dream gets a little blurry, I can't remember quite what happened, but I think I had a FA where the nose plug RC failed.

I also remember dreaming about writing in my dj about both the lucid dream and some other dreams - it's so frustrating waking up and realizing you have to do it all over again, haha. All in all I remember 4 fragments, 2 dreams and 1 LD! A very, very good night! I'm so happy!

A question though: Did I just have my first WILD, or was this just a regular DILD? Did kind of feel like a DILD, but then I really thought I was still awake so it might have been a WILD... I've heard so much talk about the weird sensations one gets when wilding, and I didn't feel any of that...

First journal, I was able to recall 3 dreams, all after I woke up at my scheduled WBTB time. Recall isn't great, but better than I usually have:

1. I was speaking with one of my friends, who I believe took the form of one of my students (I was a sculpting teacher for a time) he's an older guy, and he was criticizing my lifestyle and how he felt I spent too much of my time slacking off. I then blew him off and we had a bit of a falling out. He seemed to become quite a bit younger at that point and went of with a few other people, there seemed to be a dispute and the othe people he was with starting beating him up. I went to his aid and pulled the other guys off him. It was then later in the night and one of my roommates was there, she was having dinner with a man named Mario but then had to go off to a party, my brother was there and ot a call that the party didn't go well and then it ended.

2. I was in a school of sorts, not quite a high school or a college, the students seemed to be about high school age but it was far larger than my high school. There was also the idea that we were living there full time in a sort of dormitory situation, but there was a large sink in the corner of the main classroom we were supposed to use for bathing, not sure how that was supposed to work. I remember there being a number of clubs including a 3D animation club and I had a rather large tear in my pants I seemed to do a decent job of covering up.

3. I was in some sort of bar or cantina in the middle east somewhere. The dream seemed to center around me trying to get a drink that I enjoyed, but I couldn't find anything at the soda fountain I wanted. I seemed to be getting inexplicably drunk and I tried to stumble to what I assume was my home. A man noticed me in my state and offered to take me back to his place to make me some pancakes. I woke up before I got to enjoy the pancakes.

So I go to sleep all nice and relaxed using some techniques from ETWOLD, I confirm to myself I will wake up after my dreams which I do. I wake up around 06:20 but before I realize I'm awake I already move a bit, I relax and try the 'counting to sleep' which goes good but distracting thoughts make me unable to pass 40. I eventually fall asleep and wake up to my normal alarm 09:00 and decide to give it another chance as I'm more tired now. Guess what? The alarm of the dryer goes of and once again I'm the only person upstairs, I didn't even bother cleaning out the filters, just shut it off all together. Off cours I was too awake for anything right now and the best thing of all. I forgot atleast 3 dreams I had because of this, atleast we're making progress on the relaxing techniques and auto-suggestion. It's morning as I'm typing this which I don't do very often but I will probably read a lot of ETWOLD today.

Plan for next night:

-Auto-suggest waking up after dreams

-Using the 'counting to sleep' technique

-Archieve lucidity


Plan for when I'm lucid:

Pay extreme attention to environment and any change in feeling that might be different from reality to have more LDs in the future.

00:00 Thursday 2014-08-07

1mg melatonin to counteract family bedtime drama (yet again)
this night and last night 1 cup body builder protein powder mix with milk

00:49 bedtime

wakings during the night, build running list of dreams recalled, worked on this list probably at least 3 times during the night

09:11 final waking

+ I'm in a non-descript hallway like a school hallway, I see at the end of the hallway (through a door?) a bloody bear is coming after me I keep trying to dodge it running in a small circle in and out of two close doors between the hallway and a room, trying to keep the wall between the bear and me, it gets its paws on me eventually

+ solving a complex math problem with dad, the bosses gave him approval to try to solve it in 5 minutes, I think that's bogus (it's our problem and I've solved it the bosses have no right to try to take ownership of it, the 5 minute limit is just a token "gift" to us, they intend to steal it), I've already solved it in a nice closed form the fractions are kind of messy though, I also have graphed it, my dad is doubtful of my solution, I have many pages of the solution worked out

+ driving at night through a suburban area, take two right turns into a complex, turn into a driveway, enter house, high school friends there, eating huge grilled chicken/garlic, some older guys there creating a marketing presentation on "edible plastic" featuring the west coast, wording drawn on what looks to be a large rectangular cake.

+ solving a computer design problem: apple can only add 32 in a loop, that's why it's so slow, I realize a single multiply of 32 is all that's required, it's a huge improvement, then I realize that a single shift is all that's required, the company builds a large shiny new prototype based on my new design

+ outside nighttime lots of people college housemates there's a battle coming I'm reassuring a girl that it will be OK, call out to opponents to start, I do a series of high jumps descending down on to my friend NI who holds the key to starting, landing clumsily commenting about "let's begin before I break my neck", people are upset that William Shattner is heavily modified, final scene prepared between the demon and Captain Kirk

+ rubbing my hands up and down a girl's back from her shoulders down to her waist, holding her tightly, her back is to me, it's some sort of exercise not a romantic encounter, she says she likes it

This dream that I've been having lately has reoccurred several times. Each time I have this dream it's a little bit different from the previous time, but it's all basically the same details. I'm being chased by a man, specifically the man who lives beside me in reality. He is a rapist pedophile, as he is in reality, and he is pursuing me, his intentions to rape me of course. He is chasing me through my bedroom and through my house as I panic and run, begging my mother to do something while she deliberately ignores me. I try in every dream to call 911 but my phone will change numbers, such as 1 becoming a 4 due to technical complications. So I've lost all hope and I am desperately afraid of the man as he corners me. At the last minute before he can rape me, the man I'm in love with in reality runs in and attacks the rapist, pushing him to the floor. It's quite violent and bloody but the man I love in reality usually destroys the rapist in ways such as the one he used last night, ripping the rapists' flesh out of his neck in chunks with his teeth and ripping the skin off the arms. The man I love usually ends up covered in blood, blood in his teeth, blood in his hair, blood on his hands, blood on his shirt and he is soothing me in the corner I've hidden myself in. He holds me in his blood soaked arms and kisses me on the head to calm me down, telling me the danger is gone while my blue carpet absorbs the blood of the dead rapist. That's how most of my dreams go; either me saving the man I love or the man I love saving me, each dream gory and bloody beyond thinkable amounts.

08-05-14 DILD. Completed Bonus TOTM. I was already in a DILD climbing up a building when I again thought of TOTM. I looked down on a street and thought about what the bonus task might be. It seemed to me that it had something to do with cartoons. Maybe create a cartoon DC? No, but that seems close. It must be something were I need to change an item from realistic into a cartoon version while observing the changes? Yes, it is something close to that. I will start there and see if more comes to mind. I watched as a white van came slowly up the street. How to make it transform into a cartoon version of itself?

I focus on the shading caused by light and shadow and erase all of that. Now it has a even white color with no shading. I try to imagine this is causing a 2D effect. It works and the van becomes fake looking. It is still driving down the road, but the effect is a bit like a cartoon van driving down a real road.

I am now down on the street level. I use thought to shrink only the front end of the van. It looks very funny, like a circus mirror effect. I sit indian style about 2 feet off the ground (floating). I start following the van up the street and it turns onto a faster busy road.

I realize now that the task is not so much change things into cartoons, as just shange things in interesting effects. I do this on perhaps 4 more cars. I try new colors, change the brightness, and metalic glints in the paint, enhance the crome strips. I had great fun with a copper colored sports car. I took a plain ordinary car and changed it to copper, then added a galvinezed effect to the paint. Then caused crome to appear every where. Next I stretched out just the lower half of it. It looked like some weird preditor car.

I woke up naturally soon after that.

08-05-14 This is just a short DILD. The task was to have a DC tell you a word in another language and what it means. My mother siad "BIORK" as in she wants to go to the Biork. I asked her what Biork was and she showed me a big card with the word spelled out on it. I was suprised that it was easy to read and stable.
I asked her to be more clear, and a image of her going to a place flashed. Ok, so Biork is a place, but what kind of place?

A place to get food.

A market?

No, it is behind the market. You sit down and eat prepared food.

So Biork means restraunt?

No, specifically it is behind the market.

Wait, is Biork the name of a restraunt you like? That would be a proper noun. I do not think that counts.

It is not the name of a restraunt. An image flashes, this time of my mom going into a grocery market and up to a counter in the market to get food.

Oh! So Biork = a place in the back of a food market where you can sit and eat prepared food. Much like a deli counter you can eat at.

8/6/14

Last night bed 10pm - 3:30 am (work)

DR:

I'm in a room, and there is a woman on the far side, at the wall. Not sure what happens to her, but suddenly there is another woman, dressed in colorful clothes. She somehow jumps on the wall, while she is standing with her back facing the wall. )Like those guys in games dressed in velcro suits jumping on a vertical wall and getting stickied there.)

She is held to the wall by her back, while her arms and legs are moving. Now she is on fire, but only her edges. This is turning into a nightmare and a feel some dark force.

I hurl a large knife at her, to stop the evil. But my knife falls to the ground short of her.


DR:

I'm walking down a boardwalk at some recreation area. A guy tries to pour some water on me from his water bottle. I dodge it, then I see him as he walks few steps away from me. He looks drunk or high. His balding hair is all wet, so is his white wife-beater tanktop. Two people tackle him to the ground. I run there and put my knee up on the boardwalk to kneel on his chest. We are holding him down till police comes. Suddenly he is listless as he is laying face down and he starts to vomit. I look at my hand and his vomit is on it. I shake it off.

Dream 1

I'm at work in the kitchen relaxing because the restaurant isn't very busy and an order comes in for 4 pizzas. I'm on that section and I think ahhhh I cba. The order was 2 Chicken and Pesto pizzas and two Prima Goats Cheese pizzas. I walk out and the table pretty closest to me was 4 girls. They must of been the ones who ordered. I thought, its quiet, they're pretty hot, I'll make epic pizzas. So carefully rolled them out etc. Cooked them, I got three out and put them under the pass and the 4th one I dropped on the floor. Ffs. This meant I had to make another which was effort. Quickly I rushed that one and made it. I put it under the pass and the boss said angrily to me. 'Theres no feta cheese on it', he made me put that one and heat it up in the oven again. Under pressure I went to get it out and I almost dropped it again. It was dangling on the side and I shouted him to help me. We got it on the plate luckily but alot of the sauce dripped on his shirt. He didn't notice so I didn't mention it. He was already mad enough. I was ready for my break then another order of 4 pizzas came in. I was glad to wake up.

Dream 2

Some bomb had gone off over the city, everything became like the start of an apocalypse. I chose my squad, which was basically my family and a few others and we had to survive. Me and another team member were ill and we had to find supplies quickly. We drove and the sky looked fiery, it looked like the end of the world. We seen a place which we knew would have medicine. We had to hook up to this machine in the building which connected into a power supply with 4 wires and you inject 1 into your arm. There was 3, 1 was working fine. I got the girl strapped up to this first. My one wasn't working. The third one had no wires. So I took the wires from my one and plugged them into the 3rd one then injected my arm. Knowing I would survive I took them out. I got my radio and I warned nobody to come to the city of Coventry it was very dangerous. Then I found the guy who owned the place was a pedophile and we were angry and had to leave.

Dream
8.00am

Im on an island which looks like Thailand. Im at the shops and I see Daryl and some other guy (OG). Og has a shopping trolley with fruit and veggies with him. Og takes his stuff over to what looks like a fridge. I ask him why he's doing that and he says that when he bought them the lady dipped them in boiling water to give them a clean. A Thai lady figures out that he didn't pay for them and alerts someone to question him. Og doesn't want a bar of it and makes a run for it. Im following Og as he's trying to get away from who ever is chasing him. I ask Og on how they figured out he stole the produce. He says that he ask the Thai lady a question which either should have already been done or needed to be done to his produce. The man chasing gets his man and takes Og away somewhere.

It's only myself and Daryl and we're outside walking. We both decide we need a piss and try and find a good spot. The area looks to have a bit of an Australian outback look and feel to it. With the sandy ground and bushes. We find a spot to piss near what looks like a animal hole. I ask Daryl what it is. I have a closer look and see that if looks like some kind of art work from a tribe which has a face and a small hole at the bottom where the mouth is. Once Daryl finishes I take his spot and have a piss. I start to sink in the sand as I pee and put my hand down on the ground. I end up putting my hand in what looks like either Daryl's pee or my pee. I turn around and see Daryl walking away in the distance. As I finish I catch up to Daryl.

We reach a house but unsure on what we're doing.

Dream Fragments:

1. I'm watching someone audition for X Factor.

2. Looking at protein powders. Pea protein is $100 a kilo.

3. Afl super coach. Jed adcock scores under 40p for me. Where as my opponent gets 100p with a North Melbourne player.

Side Notes:

Tried no sleeping mask tonight with little success. I feel as if the pressure of the eye mask on my face keeps myself aware as I awaken, whereas without it I'm pretty groggy and confused. Didn't hear my alarms. Recall sucked.

After my WBTB it took me a little while to get back to sleep.

1. First dream I remember at all I was walking in a neighborhood that I lived in when I was growing up. I missed the street I lived on but realized I was dreaming and woke up pretty much at the same time.

2. I was with my wife, dad and step-mother. My wife was talking to them about my lucid dreaming (she still thinks its weird). She was saying how it was a little strange and we were all standing around this box. The box had a little lizard head poking out of it. My wife is deathly afraid of lizards and could hardly bare to watch. As I was concentrating on the box the lizard head got bigger and bigger. After a little bit the lizard came out of the box but was some kind of large, lizard/caterpillar/mouse hybrid. It had the head of a lizard and at least 6 to 8 legs and walked like a mammal and a kind of mouse tail. It ran up my arm and I experienced dream pain. It didn't hurt just felt like pressure I guess is the best way to describe it. It wrapped itself around my lower arm and my skin kind of absorbed it and it vanished. This made me do a RC and I did a very thorough one since I wanted to be SURE I was dreaming. I sure enough counted 6 or 7 fingers on one hand. LUCID: I though of the foreign language task but then decided to do eyeball task. I turned toward my dad and put my fingers around my right eye ball. He immediately began to back away disturbed at the sight. I really focused on this and in my right eye I could see like white light shooting around blackness, kind of like when you push on your eye a bit in waking life. I was trying to get my fingers in deep enough to reach the back of my eye ball to pull it out. I didn't seem to be getting deep enough to get leverage to pull it out and began to get frustrated. The frustration caused me to wake up.

3. This one was very long and vivid. I was with my daughter and I took her to work. I was going to be gone for several months and I talked to my wife who asked when she would be coming home, I told her I wasn't sure. I didn't even know how I was going to get her home really. I was supposed to make sure some training was going on but I had to find where the classroom was. I was a long way from the class room and took a few wrong turns to get there. I found an elevator and went up in it (of course I never got in one last month at all), when I got to the top I realized I went one or two floors higher than I was supposed to so I took the stairs down. I think my daughter was still with me at this point but not a large factor in the story at this point. I went down flight of stairs and tried to go into a door. Someone was working on the other side of the door and I couldn't go through. I said this was find and went down another set of stairs. I ended up giving up on this and wound up back in my room with my daughter (still at work). I put her down for a nap and went to get some food from the cafeteria. I ran into another guy I used to work with and he had his family with him. It had seemed like I was gone for a long time and I remembered that if my daughter woke up and I wasn't there she would be very upset. I got back to the room quickly and I could hear her crying. I got her from the room and took her out to the living room area where there were a bunch of toys. Somehow the room I was in transitioned to the cab of a truck that I was driving down the road. I was more riding in the truck and not driving, there were a bunch of pillows and toys spread all over (like a living room almost). I saw a policeman coming down the road and I was worried that he would see that her seat-belt wasn't on. I had her sit and we pretended to be buckled in. The cop car passed us and I realized in front of us that there was a sideways car that we were approaching quickly, I sat in the drivers seat and pulled into the dirt median next to us to avoid the sideways car. As I began passing the sideways car I realized it was still moving down the road and I wasn't passing it but staying even. The dirt was hard to drive on and I began to lose control, the sideways car straightened up and I pulled back over to the road. I did a RC and became LUCID: I looked out the car window and thought of jumping out and the traffic and my daughter, I convinced myself again this was a dream and hopped out of the window while the truck was cruising down the road. I landed right on my feet and was facing oncoming traffic. There was a truck coming right at me and as it approached I barely kicked the bumper and it flew backwards onto the car behind it. I was pretty proud I was able to do this with ease. I then thought of the word in another language task and looked for someone. Behind me a bus was pulled over and a girl was coming out of it. She had long dark hair and I ran up to her and asked her to tell me a foreign word, I wasn't sure if this sentence came out clearly (I thought I might have slurred it), but she understood me. I cant remember the exact word but it started with F and had some Rs in it, something like Farrer or Fourier, it sounded very foreign when she said it. As soon as she said it she was walking away and I followed. I repeated the word and she said 'yes', I then ask her what it meant (still following) and lost the dream.

So close!!

08-05-14 This DILD was very long and the first stuff has become lost. I stopped part way through to check my recall, and thought I would be able to keep it, but now it is very fuzzy.
Where it comes into clear focus is a part in a old manor house and me being very sexual. I was lucid and having very wild sex with my wife, when she finally told me that she was tired and no longer into it. Rather than argue, I stood up and created a hallway with people at the end of it. I knew that a couple sexy women were in the group and I raised my hand, which kind of magically summoned them. They came up the hall and with out a question were ready to do/act in any way I wanted.
The DC of my wife looked pissed at this. I told the dream/DC that I was interested in this activity, that it was clearly a dream, and that in this case if one DC would not play along, well, another one or two will.
At this point the scene shifts around while I am talking and now my wife's family is all around us. They were supposedly up the hall way. Her father is a conservative Christian type, and being preachy. He is telling everyone that her neice and some man (her neice's husband IRL) are in Texas and having sex out of wedlock. The whole family is supposed to come with him to stop them from their sinful ways.
The entire room has become some form of flying platform, kind of like a helicoptor, and we are now all flying to Texas. I decide this is a bunch of stupid BS and that I wil leave. Suddnely I am wrapped in tape as if the dream is going to prevent me from leaving this scene. I roll off of the platform and start to fall to get away. I cause the bindings to break loose and start flying.

Now the TOTM stuff. I decide to try one of the TOTM, but IRL I do not know the story that the task refers to. I am suppossed to go to some castle and find some people and then see where something takes me. Oh well, there is no way for me to do that so i will do a generic version of this. I fly down and see a city of hut type buildings with bamboo constructions and go to the biggest one looking for a king or chief or something. It becomes some sort of feasting hall, like you may see in a primative castle.
I do find a cheif/king and ask him for a quest. He tells me I should fly to Africa and cut the grass. Ok? I have no idea what that would involve, but let's just see where it takes me. "You want me to fly to Africe and cut the grass? I do not understand, but I will see if I can figure it out. Where are we now?"
He tells me that we are in the land of the Mayains. I take off flying and decide to try and create a realistic Superman type flight. I picture the globe in my mind, but in hindsight I thought Africa was were S. America is and vice versa. I created images of Myan type buildings and jungle stuff as I flew. When I reached the shore of the Ocean I was starteled by a wonderful visual experience. I was floating in the clouds and could see half of the visuals were of an amazing otherwordly city. It was straight out of fantasy paintings with castles and pillars and cliffside villa. The lighting was cause by that kind of streaming sun beam effect. If I turned I saw a crazy vision of the sea, with hundreds of curling waves and crazy texture. I was in awe. This lasted for awhile while I took it all in.
After that I flew the rest of the way to Africa. I saw the roofs were thached in grass and landed at an outside restruant. I sat at the bar and considered cutting the edge off the hanging grass roof, but choose to talk with the bar man and have a drink instead.
