All DJ Entries

I think I'm getting a "new" dream sign: gators and swamps. Last night I had a dream about getting lots of mosquito bites while getting chased by a smart gator (and making "jokes" about malaria). And the night before that I was rescuing baby elephants and hippos from another huge gator...
I had that "dream theme" a while back, it just comes in and out of my dreams.



Anyways... I had a fun (and sort of frustrating) dream last night:

I'm laying down on the floor in my father's apartment, I want to try and "WILD". My sister comes in and "wakes me up" and I get a little upset.
Eventually I start to enter the "second layer" dream, which is very unstable. I am still on the apartment's floor , dragging myself across the living room. I try to stabilize by doing telekinesis on a box (stupid me). I throw a clumsily-visualized fireball at the box, and use an equally clumsily-visualized "rasengan" on it.
I "wake up" again, but this time I'm in my (supposed) grandparent's living room. I got my feet and legs on a desk, my head resting on the floor (lol). I try to WILD again but my cousin comes in, and tells me that "we have to go." So, I walk out of the house and enter a car, to go somewhere in the Jungle.

Not once did I reality check

Long dreaming night, to bed late, slept late, got back to sleep, should have gotten lucid but too tired after trip.

+ skiing downhill at night in a group, at the top of the hill was a campaign sign reading "Americans: we're not as stupid as you think we are!" it's from a candidate whom I think I know

+ playing "hide the USB wireless mouse interface in your ear!" game in a swimming pool with a large group

+ I work hard to recapture our ball in the swimming pool, tons of kids are playing, later it is a flag, I finally get it and victoriously return

+ up close view of a spices stored in a store, mostly hot crushed red pepper, some strange individual slice packing I think is really clever (one of those "you mean *that* was a dream?" dreams, felt very real)

+ The origins of Captain America: at first he's (me) a guy who just likes the suit, I try the helmet/mask on and check myself out in a mirror

+ water is building up in a diamond-shaped cabinet, I rush to get some stainless-steel cook-pots to capture and reach it just as it begins to pour out, it fills up all the pots quickly, I think about siphoning it through a green garden house down to an in-ground water storage area, but there's a guy in there held prisoner

+ in a team of young people/heroes trying to trick the evil witch into appearing, I think she does but the team just stands around

+ I'm on a 3-wheeled motorcycle slipping and sliding on a snowy road, I run into a fence, I try to figure out the best position of the front wheel to counteract the sliding (turned 90 degrees sideways seems best!)

+ arrive on an extremely urgent mission to an important adult figure who just doesn't want to hear it, we should all calm down and eat our dinner first, we start singing in harmony

+ I'm in a small movie theatre as a movie ends, I'm surprised to see about 5 other people scattered around the theatre, we all start doing "raise the roof"

+ something about my parents and lots of food

...and much more that forgot

I have been away from dreaming for quite a while due to having a great deal of difficulty with recall and motivation. Lately I have been taking some supplements for dream recall and I managed to remember a couple dreams, though they weren't fully lucid ones. Here are the dreams I remember:

07/06/14

Show Us Your Stuff!
I am wandering around in a neighborhood I don’t recognize. I am not lucid, and I have no idea what I am doing there or even how I got to be there. I stop and look around for a bit, trying to clear my mind. I remember that I am making plans to meet with some new people in a shared dream. I think maybe if I can find a place that looks like the meeting place we are aiming for then maybe I can have the shared dream work. I remember that we are meeting near a large tree so I search the area for a large tree. I wander aimlessly for a while, no real direction in mind, and I finally find myself in a beautiful garden. There is a pool of water there with a waterfall flowing into it. I look at that for a few minutes, the sound of the water is calming. I look around a bit more and I spot a tree that looks perfect! I head over to the tree and look at it for a few minutes. I try to imagine what it would be like to be dreaming about this tree and meeting other dreamers here. I try to imagine what it would be like to have shared dreams again and to get a confirmed match.

I close my eyes as I think about that and then I hear someone around me. When I open my eyes again there are people all around the tree! I don’t recognize them. My first thought is that I am now trespassing on private property and these people are going to be angry at me for being there even though I didn’t mean any harm. I think maybe I can slip away unnoticed, but as I am trying to leave, someone spots me. She comes over to me and says she knows me… I’m Raven Knight! She says she has heard a lot about me. So this person thinks I’m some kind of celebrity? I feel my face turn a bit red because I’m not sure where she might have heard of me. Then I think what she’s heard might not be good. I comment that you can’t believe everything you hear. She said she just wanted to see me use some of my dream powers. I am thinking that would be impossible because this isn’t a dream… but the others there also seem to want to see it so I decide to try. I focus on Damage Inc. by Metallica to create a fireball. The resultant fireball isn’t a huge one, but then I wasn’t really looking for a big one, I wouldn’t want anyone to get hurt. I am glad I was able to produce a fireball at all, and everyone around seems to think it is quite impressive even though it isn’t something huge. Some of them want to see lightning, so I use Battery by Metallica to call a small bolt of lightning. Then someone asks if I can open a portal to take them to another dimension. I am thinking it is amazing enough that I am doing all these things when I’m not dreaming, can I open a portal? That would mean I can get out of this world! I am about to focus on Through the Never by Metallica to open a portal when I wake up.

Nuclear Firestorm
I am at school. I look around and see everyone else has already left the classroom, so class is over. I wonder where my mind has been that I didn’t even notice that class had ended. I also notice I have no idea what the instructor has been talking about or if there’s anything I need to turn in that I haven’t handed in yet. I ask the instructor if there’s anything I still need to turn in, hoping it is not obvious that I haven’t been paying attention. He doesn’t seem to think there’s anything strange about my question and he just says no, I’m good. I take my things and leave the school. I get in my car to go home, but I am hearing a lot of strange things on the radio. It is weird that the radio is on, I never listen to the radio in the car, it’s always CD’s or my iPod. But there’s news on. Something about a nuclear explosion? WTF?

I reach home, and it is much like the place I live in my waking life, so nothing seems out of place. I go inside and find my mother is all ready to go. She tells me to get what I need to keep and grab the cats and leave as soon as possible. She doesn’t bother saying why or where to go, just that. And she takes the dog and leaves the house. I am just standing there, puzzled. I start looking for the cats. We have three cats, but right now I can’t find any of them. I think I will also take my computer and hard drive so I won’t lose that. But the cats come first. I keep looking for the cats. I finally get to the back door, a sliding glass door, and I look outside. I see a strange green beam shooting from the sky, from some source I can’t see. I can tell it’s going to hit in the mountains. Somehow I know the beam will trigger a nuclear explosion, so being this close to it would not be good. I have to get out of here!

I am frantically looking for the cats now. There’s no way I can leave them behind. I finally find one of them, my fluffy white cat named Princess. I scoop her into my arms and look around for my keys. Forget the carriers, there’s no time… now where are my keys?! I need to put Princess in the car and find the other two! After searching frantically for a couple minutes I realize how foolish I am being. There’s no way I can find two more cats and then get far enough from the blast to make a difference. I look outside again and the green beam is now solid and hitting the ground somewhere in the nearby mountains. Nothing to be done for it. I go away from the window and sit down in a corner at the far side of the house and wait. I see a blinding flash of light from behind the house. There was the blast. And shortly after it a searing wave of fire blasts through the house. I feel the heat as my body is incinerated, but not as pain, just as a warmth and a heavy wind. And as I feel the warmth everything fades to black.

I wake up in bed and realize the nuclear detonation was just a dream. I come out of my room and find my mom fixing pancakes for breakfast. She smiles and asks how I am this morning. I say fine, and then tell her about my dream. I point out the window at the place the nuclear blast went off at. She says she is sure glad I survived and continues making pancakes. I find one of my kitties, the fluffy black one named Shadow, and I am petting her as I wake up for real.

I rode my board over to my friend Nicos and we went to this hotel/elementary school
and we started walking around and shit and I went into this one classroom.
The teacher was cute so I was trying to talk to her and shit while she was teaching a class.
I ended up leaving to look for my board while my friend stayed. I was confused on if I brought my skateboard or penny board so I was looking all over until I found my skateboard.
After I found it I went back to the room my friend was in with the teacher. It was about to be lunch.
This was a 5th grade class also. For some reason my friend was drawing or doing the work they were doing and I was confused. I think so she would let him stay.
When lunch came around and all the kids left I tried talking to her. She said she was going to get food and gave me the key. I went into the room and waited maybe 5 minutes until she came back in. At this point I was eating Mike and Ikes for some reason and wanted to spit them out before she came back in. The classroom was no longer a class but a hotel room. I went to the bathroom to spit out the mike and ikes into the toilet only to find someone had taken a shit and not flushed it. I was confused for some reason but spit them out and flushed the toilet. I stepped outside for a reason I can't remember and there was someone at the end of the way. They asked me what I was doing in the room alone and I made up an excuse saying I was the teachers cousin and just waiting for her to say hi. Right after I said that she came walking down the hallway. I walked back into the room and she came in not long after. Since it was just me and her in the room I started talking to her different basically trying to get with her. When she came in the room I started flirting with her more since there were no children in the room. She asked me how old I was and I told her that i'm turning 18 on the 20th. She smiled and said okay. When she started walking towards me I woke up.

Had this lucid dream last night. The lucid dream itself was a little boring but the dream that proceed it was really fun. I was some kind of Jedi Night rescuing a landing party and I was flying around on a little personal saucer disk sitting on top of it. I think I became lucid while flying and then the dream changed, or the dream changed and then I become lucid. Anyway I'm now in a machine shop at a school. I know I'm dreaming and I start touching some of the machinery to stabilize the dream, but I didn't feel like I needed to as my lucidity felt so stable already. I left there and walked outside. Outside was like a courtyard to a big mall. Lots of people milling around. Oh ya, as I'm walking outside I realize I'm only wearing underwear, I think I've got to make some clothes appear. I'm thinking about how I've read people making things appear in their dreams on the forum. (It didn't occur to me to make the close appear on me, only to find them in the dream). I walk across the courtyard and I see my daughter pull up in a convertible. As I walk up she is handing a bundle of clothes to a guy that just walked up. I walk up grab the bundle of clothes and say "these are for me". I then see two pairs of pants and one is a corduroy and I say "but not these" and hand them to the guy. Then I recognize the guy from an earlier dream in which he was being an ass and so I punch him in the face. (??! Don't know where that came from). I pay no more attention to him or my daughter and walk off to go put my clothes on. I'm wondering what I should do in my lucid dream. I'm walking over to a bench and there's a big mall sign above. A women ask me if I know what time it is. I see a big digital clock on the sign but I'm thinking digital clocks are notoriously hard to read in a LD and so chuckling to myself I tell her "no I can't tell you what time it is". At this point I seem to have a lower level of lucidity for the rest of the dream as it changes a couple of times without my being conscious of it. Now I'm riding in the back of a car putting on my clothes. Others are in the back with me and we're talking. Once dressed I decide to freak them out and I jump out through the back doors (going through the closed doors), we were traveling fast, I'm standing up and skidding to a stop, but as I still don't have my shoes on I have to make myself float just above the pavement.

The dream changes again, now I'm on a train going up a mountain landscape. I'm bored trying to think of what to do. I start putting on my boots, lacing up the boots. I think maybe I'll fly into some caves in the mountain Then think I don't want to be in a dark place. Then I have the idea to go to my home town and do something there. I wonder how should I get there. I know flying would take to long. Then I think to do what I've read people do on the forum. I will make a door appear and step through the door to my home town. I'm wondering how I'm going to do that, still struggling with putting on these heavy lace up boots and thinking why did I conger up these stupid lace up boots! Just then I feel myself slipping into waking.

My Comments: The dream was a little boring because I couldn't think of anything to do. Oh, I actually did think of finding a women and having sex but decided against it. I can see I need to set some waking intentions to do something next time I'm lucid. Also wear some clothes!

So normally I wouldn't post such a short lucid but this one is mentionable.

I was in the kitchen in the morning, nothing like my own really and I was making breakfast. I was going to make muffins but was putting them in individual muffin tin things and placing each one on a burner, I want to say the burner was coming from the top but I cant be sure. I was concerned in the dream that the muffins would burn or catch fire. I kept adjusting the flames to make sure this didn't happen. I looked at them all when I finally got them all on and some were really disfigured and flat while others looked decent. After they were done (I assume) I was scraping stuff off a tray and was amazed that there was nothing left. It all just disappeared and there was only a few burnt pieces of stuff left, looked like small burnt onions. I showed my mother in law who was in the kitchen with me and said how weird it was nothing was left. I then started to peel a banana to eat and then went to an area in the kitchen where my grandmother in law was working at making something else. I picked up something she was using like a bag of sugar and it dumped everywhere, all over the floor and counter. I was told I didn't need to help pick it up but helped anyways. Someone said something about me being late to work and I needed to eat and then my mother in law said I needed to make sure I was awake or wake up better. This prompted me to do a RC and I did the finger check, as always I was amazed this was a dream and did it several times, I had some wobbly fingers and more than 5. Lucid: I went to a door and imagined a city street like the one I had been on in my previous dream, as i opened the door the dream was beginning to fade and as I began to wake a saw some sort of field.

This afternoon I took a nap with my daughter and actually had a dream I remembered, this doesn't usually happen when I have a nap so it was really different. I was with a couple others in a room and we were going to fight some others. I was telling a guy next to me, who was a kid, maybe my son that he had to protect others from someone who couldn't control their powers. It seemed like last airbenderish if you will. I was going to show him that I could throw fire balls and I wound up but nothing came out. I woke up shortly after.

Dad and I are at a hospital to visit his friend HD. We spend some time in a waiting room without actually seeing him. We head to the elevator to go down to the lobby. There is a patient room right across from the elevator. We get into the elevator and while waiting for the door to close, I see HD is in that room. He reaches out and I can't tell if he's trying to wave at us or reaching for us to come back and see him.

The elevator turns into a monorail car and shuttles us off to -- North Korea? I'm not so sure that this is a good idea. Hopefully we don't stay around too long. To my relief, we don't stay long. The monorail doesn't even make any stops.

The next thing I know, I'm on a cruise ship off the coast of Alaska. I'm watching a group of killer whales from the deck. Somehow, I can see what is happening under water as well as on the surface. The whales have odd markings on their bellies with black dots where they should be all-white. I want to get a picture of the whales, but I can't see to figure out how to take a picture on my iPhone. The ship docks and I get off at some kind of scenic overlook to try taking pictures. It's kind of a weird set-up. There's a two-story building with a McDonald's on the lower level and a viewing point on the upper level. Once again, I have trouble trying to take a picture.

I was in Walmart and there were a lot of little people around. I bumped into two guys (that I had a head on) who smirked at me. I smiled and moved on.

In the jewelry section, I met a small lady and we ended up talking about zodiac signs. “You could be a Cancer - a crab, or Taurus, a bull. Or an Aquarius, born in September [got this one wrong!].”

She said she didn’t have one because she was born on this one day. I was confused because I hadn’t heard of it. I told her to just pick one, no one would ever know.

“You could say you were a Sagittarius born in December.”

At one point I asked if I could carry her and I did.

Skip.

She had had a secret power, and taken ‘us’ [a bit fuzzy, but a girl and guy pair I think] to a secret place. We had to make our way across land. Some people with the lady thought we wanted to use her powers.

We were cloned [just appearing there) – there was a younger and older pair of us. The older pair got split up, I think. The older guy was being used by this old man while he was in the first cave.

I saw that the place was big (like looking at an area map in a game), full of forests, plains, caves and such. I did not want to have to go through another cave, which was to the far right. I wondered what was at the very end.

Inspirations: I watched the first episode of Sailor Moon: Crystal yesterday and think the zodiac stuff came from that (and maybe the jewelry section) – also, I’m a Sagittarius born in December. The landscape might come from playing Pokemon. I think I recently saw a show with little people on it.

I was looking through one of the manga from the yaoi bookbox I’m doing for BookCrossing.com IWL, flipping through a few pages when suddenly my fingers caught on fire. I dropped the book and found some cloth, patting my hand down with it. The tip of my index finger got it the worst.

When I woke up, I actually had to check my finger to make sure it was okay.

Inspirations: The only thing I can think for the fire part is that on July 4th we burnt marshmallows at a stove outdoors and it was scaring me the way the wind would make the flames lick at my hand.

7/7/14 Monday

Day off, so went for a WILD morning nap.

Last night bed 10 pm after marathon of Walking Dead ended. Woke up at 7:47am. WBTB till 9am. Breakfast, but no coffee.

WILDing from 9am - 9:55, when i got up to potty, as I normally do. By then I was already completely relaxed and on the verge of a lucid. I felt my head falling forward and I knew that's a signal of incoming lucid. I also felt top back part of head getting a bit cold, which is also a sign of a transition.

So when I went back on sofa after potty, I was super relaxed and got lucid almost immediatelly. I was falling asleep thinking of TOTM - eating junk food, taking an elevator and doing something fun with another member.

1.

Well ofc, I wanted to LD with OpheliaBlue so badly, so I was thinking of her. Very first place I end up in is a room with a counter and 2 girls standing behind it. I focus on the one on the left, because I know it's Ophelia. Same haircut, same face. I have no doubts. Suddenly I don't know what to do. I figure a handshake will confirm that she is really there, so I lean over and we shake hands. I'm happy, can't believe it's really happening. Dream fades away here.

Till I wake up 2 hrs later, I'm going in and out of lucids. Before, when I was WILDing like this, I had clear transitions, so I was able to count all the DEILDs and was aware of every transition.

But this is about 3. time, when it's just one long event. Sometimes I remember some transitions, but they are not vell defined.

This time I remember thinking "well, I'm not gonna wait for another dream, what if I just stand up now, before dream comes." And I stood up and was in a dream. I also counted fingers. I'm having this "let's not wait, I'm in a dream already" feeling more often lately, and I like it.


2.

Now I'm walking through a street fair. Place between the stalls is very narrow, barely wide enough for 2 people to pass. It's either underground, or there is a roof, and no windows. It's a common occurence for me. Having buildings without windows, or feel of being underground.

I remember the TOTM to eat something. I grab a corn chip from one of the stalls. They are just laying there in a wide and shallow basket, to be sampled. Taste is ok, but it's not crunchy anymore. I don't even finish that one chip. Next stall has some ham. Looks kinda like jerky, but not that dried. It's wraped, like banknotes are in the bank. I take one piece of ham from the one that's still wrapped. It tastes just like ham should. Nice and salty. This makes ham my most eaten food in a lucid. Dunno why, it's not my most favorite food.

I feel the urgency of other things to do so I wonder off. Dream fades.

I'm walking through yet another building. Normally i would be jumping out of first window, or clawing through the walls to get out of the building. But last time I think I got over this problem and consiously decided, that buildings and doors are ok and fun, and I should explore, instead of being scared.

So I'm opening doors, all optimistic, with smile on my face, decided that whatever is behind it, will by ok and fun and cool. Open the door into a smallish room, but the far end corners are in dark. it's all gloomy and I decide that this is not the best room to get over my fear of rooms. Thank god I have enough of whatever to back out.

Next place, I'm walking to another room from a hallway and I see something like airport or subway gates. Those things, where you wait in line to get through the security check, or where you put in the token and small gates swing open and let you in.

Someone is there right now and the machine dispenses a hoverboard. The person hops on it and they take off. I think that's something I could do. I know I'm in the future and I don't know how to operate this thing, but I'm eager to try it, no matter what. I walk up and I get a howerboard in shape of a smaller surfboard. I sit on it with my feet dangling and it takes off. It's white, with a red and green buttons, and something yellow, also some text.

So we take off slowly with a low hum of an electric engine. We turn left, and at the end of the lit tunnel is some kind of a gate. It's opened, and I think it's more of a marker, than a gate. Like "you can go fast from here". I wonder how to go faster, so I push the green button. The hoverboard starts to inflate more and I realize that's how yo control the speed.

Behind the end of the tunnel, I'm higher up over some more rooms.

I'm standing in the room. It has lots of high cabinets, color is gray, metal. There are some huge glass containers, with some human experiments in them. i'm not liking it, but not scared either.


Lots of walking through buildings.

#334 - DEILD - 4:31AM

I have to say this dream is really memorable for me. Inspired by Dreamer, I decide before hand that I would devote an entire lucid dream to learning pyrokinesis. Not only did I begin to see a breakthrough in something I have been struggling to learn but did something completely insane. The amount of pain that I felt tops any dream pain I have ever experienced. It wasn't intolerable but it was definitely uncomfortable. To compare it to waking like I'd have to say it was close to the feel of a slight oven burn a few seconds after the fact. I know it sounds slightly masochistic but I really enjoyed the sensations. It was fascinating how pain can be so realistic in the dream state. It makes me wonder what the limits are.

I have a strange work dream where they got a new wire cut machine. It's in the old facility and everything is arranged all wrong.

I wake, move around, stretch, cough and get comfortable. I feel pretty awake so this time I focus on breathing meditation and body relaxation. After a while I am back at work but too focused on breathing to be lucid. I am standing at a computer terminal and a DC tells me that I am breathing too fast. I see a window on the screen with the value '100'. I am able to edit, so I change it to '70'. My breathing slows way down and I become self aware again.

Now, I am in bed still focused on breathing. I have a little trouble with it like usual but I try to maintain while I relax my body. I realize I was waiting for vibrations but understand it's not going to happen this time. I do notice my body feels oddly flat, so I try to move and get out of bed easily.
I am in my childhood home in Texas. I'm getting pretty used to this location so I just treat it like normal and make my way outside while still focusing on breathing. When I reach the front door and decide I am too excited and let it go allowing my breath to speed up.

Outside, I decide to walk the streets while practicing my ultimate dream control wish; shoot fireballs from my hands. I thought about this some in waking life and had decided to use some energy practices from AP before hand. It doesn't seem to be doing anything, so I go with something I am more familiar with like throwing rocks. I blind summon softball sized stones and throw. I don't see them leaving my hand but I see them hitting the road and rolling away. It's a start, I suppose.

Now I try to move on to fire. I think of how easily Dreamer uses fire in her dream and how she says it's all about belief. I think of a cigarette lighters as I try starting a flame by snapping my fingers, but I am only getting sparks. Still, this is really encouraging and I continue for about a minute. Eventually, my fingers get twisted up and I can no longer snap. Rather than getting too caught up in the finger issue I try to think of another way to go about this.

I have been walking quite a bit and notice I have been walking my usual path to my old high school and have arrived without even really trying. We used to live really close so this never took very long even in waking life. As I take steps closer, the building morphs into the inside of the school cafeteria. I see a rack with small bags of Lay's Plain Potato Chips and something in the center with a flame like a pilot light. I get an excited idea to start my fireball by first setting my hand on fire "externally". When I touch the flame I feel a sharp, intense, constant pain. I loudly whisper, "SHIT! THAT HURTS!" Stubbornly, I keep my hand in a little longer. When I feel that the tips of my fingers are holding the flame I move it out and lift my hand up like a torch. The pain is still there but has lessened a little. I see cafeteria workers milling about in white uniforms in my peripheral vision. They don't seem to care that I am lighting my hand on fire and I mostly ignore them. After a moment, the flames seem to be dieing away and I look for the pilot light again. I find a pot boiling cut up potatoes but instead of steam rolling from the top I see fire. This time I put my entire right hand in. The pain is way more intense this time. It's probably the worst dream pain I've ever experienced. I just keep my hand in muttering, "Shit that hurt's."

After a satisfactory amount of time I withdraw my hand seeing it fully engulfed in flame. The pain is still really bad but I do my best to ignore it. I stare at my hand enjoying the beauty of the flame and doing my best to take in all the little details; I want a strong visual for when I actually summon fire later on. I enjoy the realness of the vivid colors; yellow and orange/red ending in blue. But most importantly, my flesh is unharmed in spite of how bad it hurts. It almost looks like really good, but really bad CG. I begin to think about trying to shoot flames or fireballs but before I can try it the dream fades and I return my physical body awareness.

Recorded at 9:00am

I'm sitting in the opposite road of my primary school with Daryl and there's 4 kids and a mother next to us. They're being cheeky and doing what kids do. The kids start to get on under my nerves and I feel like telling them to behave, but shortly after the mother pulls them aside and calms them down.
Daryl and I are almost at the end of Garment Ave near the doctors, when I see the mother of the kids (Looks very similar to Nat) coming towards us. I start chatting with her and we seem to enjoy each other's company. I see the kids in the distance and I joke around by calling them something along the lines of kydrens? I keep referring them to this. She gets my humour and says "aww don't call them that lol".

I can see the kids coming towards us and I ask her a few questions about them. We start to walk back towards the other end of Garment Ave and continue talking. I run out of things to say so I ask her what she is up too this weekend, but she doesn't respond.

We're outside of her house, which is actually Stacey Mc's house. She has family members or friends over and I feel shy and hope she doesn't invite me In to meet them all.

I leave Nat and head over to the park next to where she lives. The playground looks different to what it usually looks like. It has 3 big platforms, where each one is higher then the other. I get up onto the highest level and sit down on top of it. I notice that my vision is being obstructed by my beanie, which is hard to pulls up (dream blindness from wearing my sleep mask to bed for the first time in a while). I seem to be trying to lay down and sleep on this platform, which is pretty dangerous considering the height I'm at. I think of the dangers and decide not to have a nap.

I hear Nat's family talking about one of the distilled waters and it gets my attention. I hear Nat coming towards me and get up from laying down and try to pull my beanie off of my face but have a hard time doing so. Eventually I get my issues sorted and continue having a convo with Nat. I bring up about the distilled waters convo her family was having and mentioned that I drink it also. She also said that she drinks distilled water, which really made me happy as we have things in common. Nat begins to tell me that she is really starting to like me and giving me that type of talk, but I had to cut her off and tell her he truth of what I thought. I struggle to put into words on how to word it right and tell her not to take this the wrong way, but I'm really happy with how things are in my life and that I had been in a recent relationship for 2 years (which was wrong).

Dream Fragment
My house w/ Dad and Dave. We see a spider on the roof.

Last night I got a good rest again, however I woke up at noon which is quiet annoying as my normal sleeping-pattern is disrupted. I also did some more research into SSILD today and I think I have a good chance of becoming lucid next night.

1. Evening stroll

I'm in the backyard of a house, I see the house as my home and it's located somewhere in the middle of a city with a large cathedral next to it. It's evening and getting dark though I do want to take a stroll through the Streets before watching TV for the rest of the evening. I climb out the yard and land in the Streets behind the house, it's foggy and there aren't any other people walking around. The city feels like Paris, those narrow Streets and the French look to everything. I enter the church from the site and meet my dad inside, we exit the building and head back home talking about random things. We climb back in the garden and go inside.

2. Under siege

I'm in a house, different from previous dream and again feel like it's my home. It's very large with open rooms and it's interior is like that of a modern castle. I'm with my mother and my sister in the main hallway when suddenly we here something and I get a vision of many burglars breaking into the house. I'm talking about 20 burglars with slavic roots coming to steal everything and probably kill my family. I have a gun and feel like I should fight back, I'm on the balcony in a room and look down, on the ground level I see 5 burglars talking to each other and looking at the furniture. I was filled with anger and shut down the lights, I had excellent nightvision for some reason and saw there heads lit up. I aimed my gun at one of them and pulled the trigger, it didn't make any noise and the bullet that flew out looked tiny, then I realised it was a tranquilizer gun. The burglar that I shot slowly felt down and the others were freaked out but couldn't see me, I took them down one by one and went back to the main hall meeting up with my sister. I opened a side entrance to look outside and there were 3 more burglars there, one of them spotted me and wanted to fire at me but I aimed at him first. However my gun suddenly didn't work, it felt very light like a toy gun and I could pull back the trigger. I quickly closed the door before he fired back, then I opened again and tried but it didn't work and gave up on it. I walk through the house and shoot down some more burglars.

3. Another siege

I'm in a different house once again but this time it feels like I'm playing a game, splintercell. I'm controlling Sam fisher from a 3rd person perspective and shoot down burglars who now look like trained soldiers. I jump out windows and climb the edges, firing through other windows. After some time I feel like I can't win this war, I climb through a window and suddenly am in my sister's bedroom, I look through my own eyes again and get in a closet to hide. I have trouble closing the closet completly and I'm scared they will find me, after several minutes I think it's safe to leave and I slowly open the closet door. I fall out and accidently knock over my alarm which breaks on impact. (Weird as my alarm is in a totally different room IRL.)

4. WHAT THE ****

I'm in my sister's bedroom and she's sitting at the computer, as I look to the window I see one of the cats sitting infront of it looking outside. My mother sits in the couch in the corner of the room and doesn't seem to be doing anything, when suddenly the cats starts shitting right on the window, it is so much that it flies out like a rocket, the wall behind him gets peppered and the window itself gets covered too. Both my mother and my sister don't seem to react that much but I scream "WHAT THE ****!".


5. Flattered

I'm walking around in a supermarket and here a rapsong in my head, I quietly hum along the beat and walk outside. Suddenly I'm near my home in the street and crossing the road, there's a woman who's taking photo's of a male model. Man is shirtless and seems professional, then she asks me if she could take a picture of me. She tells me I have a good figure and I feel flattered, I could barely supress my laughter but eventually I declined and walked away.

In the middle of a meeting of scientists, one of them says to another, "Now if you would, draw me a representation of the source of everything."

The other scientist picks up a piece of chalk and begins to draw a torus. Very accurately, and looking very 3 dimensional, the other scientists in the room nod in approval as he continues to draw.

Then I wake up to the falling sensation as my head slips off my hand.

Woke up out of this dream yesterday. I can't recall the beginning of this dream, but I ended up in my high school, a camera in hand and a nerdy, annoying friend at my side. The school resembled a museum; it was full of strange and awe-inspiring artifacts. I was supposed to be taking pictures, but my friend kept reaching over and knocking the camera out of my hand, forcing me to repeatedly pick it up and fix it.

We started at the top floor and worked our way down. When we finally reached the bottom floor, I saw a security guard standing beside a strange, glass door. The glass was double-paned, and there were hundreds of tiny little bottles with even tinier model ships in them, all fit perfectly into the glass door. Some of the ships floated on sand (mostly white sand, but there were a few ships that rested on colorful sands; one ship in particular was on purple sand, and it reminded me strongly of a pirate ship) while others floated, seemingly unsupported, in the middle of their bottles.

"What are they?" I asked no one in particular. The little glass bottles and their caged ships were beautiful. They each seemed to have their own essence, or aura. I wanted to look at each and every one of them.

"They're spirits," my friend told me. (He meant ghosts, I thought.)

The security guard started to speak, but I woke up before I could make anything out of it.
