Last night I was able to have a good sleep and my WBTB-alarm woke me up at 05:30, however the loud alarm shocked me and I moved to much. For some reason 2 nights in a row already do I decide to perform WILD instead of SSILD, I don't know why. I've had very rare succes with WILD so why am I so drawn to it? Is it the mysterious sensation I miss from the one time it worked? Anyway I've also been noticing my DR getting weaker and weaker combined with me getting more and more tired everyday I wake up, so I decided to temporarily stop my WBTB-alarm and sleep normal. Until my DR gets better I wont interupt my sleepcycle anymore. 1. School profile I was waiting in a hallway for an exam to start when I noticed touchscreens hanging of the wall, the others seemed interested in them too. I walked up to it and pressed a screen, it displayed a picture of me with my name under it and which class I'm in. However the picture of me had some flaws, my chin was too large and I had a beard. (IRL I always shave myself.) My friend laughed at the photo and I said "Well, it's not that bad is it?", then another person pushed me away so he could operate the touchscreen. Chances of lucidity are low, need to get my DR back up and then I will do a WBTB with SSILD and NOT WILD!

00:00 Wednesday 2014-06-11 00:45 bedtime 08:15 + in a space ship that is a giant squid monster with a huge red monster mouth full of massive curved sharp teeth, i see the mouth from a few different views opening and closing, a toy is offered to the monster who accepts it with a tentacle, I see a room full of young people. The monster shapes its tentacle when accepting the toy in to the shape of a person? + (Palpatine?) is addressing the imperial senate (he calls it the "space senate") making demands, he is attacked by a force through the communication channel and starts flowing around through channels on the ground, "help him!" I yell + I'm part of a kidnapping gang, I'm given the job of interviewing our victim with a tape recorder (watched "1408" in the evening IWL), I don't want to do the interview, I can't figure out where on the recorder to talk and to listen. I ask a few questions a few times and the answers don't make sense. Someone (me?) speaks to the assembled group of family members of the kidnapped victims saying that he (me?) is no longer going to be pursuing solving the case, they get angry, some guy in our gang shows up with a sword. There's some sort of party in a multi-level restaurant, I see one gang member arrive and he comes up the stairs and it chatting with people at the tables. + filling a large clear bowl with water that I expect will turn dirty brown and it does, I pour it out and fill it again, I see there's a brown/bronze pattern on the plate under the bowl and wonder if this is coloring the water or if the bowl is just dirty + in bed touching my former girlfriend, it's dark, Spoiler for explicit: I'm touching her and looking at her face, she looks somewhat surprised and hesitant, I reach down to her (ahem) and feel she is sopping wet, I think oh boy she's ready let's go, but I let her go because I feel she's not into it, and she gets up and joins a crowd of people standing in line and I try to follow her progress through the line to keep her in sight
Preparation: The normal Products: Applejuice and a multivitamin pill (which had 4 mg of b6) Number of dreams: 3 Sleep: 11.30 PM to: 08.40 AM. Dream:1 Lucidity:0 Vividness: 7 Length:6 Recall: 4 I start out on a shore, and walk around for a bit. I seem to have a sword (some kind of rapier). Eventually i see 2 of my friends riding on some type of strange fish down the river. I jump on. We eventually jump off when we hit a bridge, and cant go any further. Some girls are sitting under the bridge, I challenge 1 of them to a swordfight, if i win, she raises the bridge. This is all i can remember. But i know there was more to this dream. Dream 2 Lucidity:0 Vividness: 8 Length:8 Recall:6 The earliest thing i can remember is me sitting on a crowded bus, one of the girls jump of the bus in speed, but the rest continue on. It seems we drove past our point on the bus, so me and a few friends want to get back up. We take an insanely hard way though. It is almost impossible to climb, with steep hills and long drops. We get to a very steep part, which has few parts go grab onto. But there is a car trying to get down. The road isn't big enough for both of us. My friends are about half way up, but i am lagging behind, as i got the hardest route. When they both get up the small, steep hill, Trym (one of the DC'S) tries to help me up. It is not enough, the stronger friend i have, tries to help me up, and he succedes. However he is cocky, and boasts of his ability to lift me into the air, we end up danglig at the end, and we both fall of. I cant remember if i woke up here, but i know the dream continues. My friend died, it seems, but i lived. And the mood has changed, i am half grieving for him and half pissed. For some reason i walk into some rich family's yard, and see a large amount of people playing and having fun. If i walk a bit further into the yard, a group of people are chatting. They bring up my climb, and asks me how it went. I say it didn't go very well, because Vetle died. I go out the mansion using a different door, but now some annoying kids are following me. They ask me questions as i slam the exit door and leave the mansion, only to see a beautiful city. I think there were 3 kids. Dream 3: Lucidity:8 Vividness: 8 Length:2 Recall:7 Insanely short dream. I realize i'm dreaming somehow in the middle of my schoolyard. I see a few people i think, but i focus on the fact that i am lucid, really lucid. I first try to make a DC appear ahead of me, doesn't work. So i try to summon a teddybear behind me, and it works! I think i get pretty excited here since i wake up. Extra: In the second dream, the hill and place in general seems VERY familiar, so much i almost know i've dreamt something about it before. The city is inspired by Fredrikstad, the hill in dream 2 by engevika, and schoolyard in dream 3 by my school.
6/10/14* (short version, though not a super long LD; KILD=Kiss Induced Lucid Dream) I am getting on a commuter train and feel very tired. I think to myself what if I can lucid dream on the train but it doesn't occur to me that I'm dreaming yet. Seem to doze off quickly and I'm standing in a hall and three ladies that I think are supposed to be the Kardashian sisters are standing on the other side of the hall across from me. The shortest one (seems to be Kourtney) is in between the other two and is changing her top and I could briefly see her breasts and the other two sisters are trying to cover her up while she changes. I move my head to the left and get another view of her right breast facing me. I believe that I am semi-lucid here. Khloe walks over to me like she is going to set me straight and I grasp her and kiss her and she is into it and I fully realize that this is a dream and I think of the TOTM bonus impregnation task. My original plan was to do it with Girl Friday (and I still can) and then to summon a meteor to mark the occasion (perform the meteor task) and visit the meteor landing site. We take it to the ground after some standing foreplay which includes my common reach down for moisture. Anyway, the main thing is we get down to intercourse. I start imagining exploding inside her and can kind of feel it (I think about how it has felt way more realistic on at least one occasion) and I pull up a little and say "look...your stomach is growing" and it does grow taking her up to what must be like 6 months pregnant or less with multiple babies or something...who knows. Anyway this blends into a very convincing false awakening where I think I hear my wife calling for me from downstairs as if I am making her late and I notice I am having trouble rolling out of bed and getting up and think that I hear her coming up the stairs. I try to reach over and bang the wall to let her know that I'm awake and getting up and I am finally able to fully wake myself and I wake up only to find that the last part was all just a false awakening. 159 Craziness has been keeping me from doing much with my day practices and no night time practices this night due to needing a good night's sleep but going back over exercise 4a from the Open Beta exercises yesterday may have helped. The exercise gave me the sense that everything is a dream (at least for a more extended period than normal) and I found more exciting about my waking world. 6/7/14* DILD involved me driving on what at first seemed like a familiar road and then realizing that I did not know this road at all - I am dreaming. I fly up out of the car and end up in the void where I patiently summon Girl Friday and have her strip which was very hot, turned into a false awakening of wife coming into the room and her being pleasantly surprised by my condition down there. 158
June 10, 2014 After having mostly fragmented memories of dreams and waking at 5:30 am, I fell back asleep and had this dream: I was visiting some other country with my family (immediate and most of the grandparents/aunts/cousins, as well as the Stanleys, who are the family of my mom's old high school friend). At first, we were in a city, wandering around and exploring new places. We were in a Hotel there, and my mom had come back with a bicycle she'd just bought. We all wondered how practical this was, since we were going to have to fly back, just like we'd had to fly there. We all got in multiple cars and headed for the house we were renting for the next week and a half of the trip; apparently Bob had built it. I decided to do some exploring of the house. There was a main section of the house, with the living spaces, and three of the bedrooms, and then there was a separate space connected by a partially underground hallway (there were windows at the top of the walls, and these windows were just above ground level outside). The second space was a garden/master bedroom. There were flowers in pots everywhere and when I looked out the window, I saw that the whole top of that hallway was also planted. There were lots of windows, and the bed was in a section that was sunk down a few steps. I went outside the building and saw a door, but didn't think much of it, assuming it was just leading off from one of the bedrooms. Then, mom got back. She'd decided to come on her bike, so it took her a lot longer to get there. Except she came on a motor scooter. We asked her why she had it, and she said that she'd traded the bike for the scooter. She had apparently also picked up groceries on the way there; they were in bags behind her. I asked it I could ride the scooter (I only call it a scooter because I can't think of any better word... It was basically a box with wheels and no right-side wall, so that you could get in and out. I guess it was more of a cockpit?), and mom said sure, why not? She proceeded to show my family the snake she'd gotten on a whim at the grocery store. So I get in through the absent right-hand wall, and sit/squat in this awkward little seat that was slanted forwards. The steering mechanism was a simple floppy paddle handle (like the locks on some bathroom stalls). At first, I thought that it was also the way to accelerate (kind of how in bumper cars, often times to reverse, you need to turn so far you go backwards), so I turned it really far and ended up just spinning really fast and getting dizzy (it spun without pressing the gas, apparently). I found the actual gas and break pedals and got on my way, taking it out for a spin. I first went up the road to the left (as you face the house), which was up. The house was on a hill, so to the left it went uphill, and to the right it went downhill on a curve to the right. We were on a mountain or something, I think. I got bored going uphill, so I turned around (the turning was like in some video games, where when you rotate the handle to the left for the camera view, it turns right, and vise versa. I hate that, it confuses me so much) and went downhill. I passed the house and went along the curve to the right, and then it was straight and steep, and there was a jeep (this jeep, to be precise; I should clarify that I am in no way a conservative. One of my friends posted this on FB) coming at me really fast with their brights on even though the sun was just starting to set, and the road was narrow, so I pulled over to the right side, which was nearly a cliff, and waited for it to pass. I got freaked out by the jeep and turned back to go home. When I got back, the snake my mom had bought with the groceries was chilling on the front porch, but then a large red snake with yellow spots outlined in black came out of the ground (like, it came out of the GROUND, not out of a hole in the ground) and attacked mom's snake. It was crazy. They were vicious and kept going in and out of the ground, and I was freaked out because I was almost positive this other snake was venomous and they kept coming up at random spots, so I hopped back inside where I would be safe. I told my mom, but she didn't seem too worried about her snake. "She's a tough cookie, that one," she said with a thumbs up. I went off to find my brothers and ended up finding them in the main living room. Bob said he'd included a secret space when he built the house. I looked over and found a room I had missed before; it was long and narrow, with bunk beds built into the wall on the right-hand side. There were four bunks, then one twin, and then one queen/double. The last thing built into that wall was a sort of reading nook with a table and booth-benches around it. Bob and Erik said they would be sleeping in this room with the Stanley boys and our uncles. On the left at the end of the room was an open space, and a door was at the very end. I opened it, and found out it was the door I'd seen earlier. When I closed the door, everything went all Minecraft on me. I accidentally deleted a block from the wall, and I rotated through my inventory to replace it with a stone block, but then I realized the walls were made of leaf-blocks. I didn't have any of those in my inventory, so I left it as it was. I looked over to the area to the left and noticed something strange; it looked like there was something behind the leaf-blocks making up the wall, so I broke one of them with my sheers (so I could replace it if there wasn't actually anything there) and found a tunnel with a pitfall at the end. I looked down the hole, and found out there was water running below. A tetris-ish shaped lily-pad floated past, and I jumped down and landed on it. I was in this GORGEOUS underground jungle-temple-like space. The river was artificial, it seemed, made out of cobblestone blocks, suspended a few blocks from the ground and winding and going up and down. There were vines hanging down over everything and dappled light coming in through little holes in the ground (the ceiling above me, since I was underground now). Roots intertwined and connected with the cobblestone river. It was at the same time minecraft blocky and real-world smooth. It was so surreal and so beautiful! There were lily-pads on the water, and chests full of treasure scattered throughout the river; some in the water, some above the water, some on the cobblestone at the edge of the water. I let myself be carried by the river until it came into open daylight (the sun still had not set, but was very close to the horizon now) and found myself above the house. Instead of the road there had been before, it was all a river now. Wait a minute, this was a road before... Am I dreaming? Sure enough, for the first time ever, I did a reality check in my dream, and found I was dreaming. I was so excited that it started to destabilize, but I ran as fast as I could to the house to tell everyone we were in a dream. I woke up before I could reach the house. I gained lucidity (and remember it) for the first time! Update: That day I spent way more time than I should have building the house in Minecraft. lol

Near Dark-based, I'm enjoying watching Diamondback as this motel desk clerk tries to fight her off. She's just come around behind the counter, and she takes out her knife and stabs the desk clerk straight through the back of the hand, pinning his hand to the desk. FMA-based, Ed's automail arm's bothering him while he's staying in a sort of underground village, and he's talking to Al. I'm briefly wondering why Al has a human body at this point in time, but then I remember that he retrieved his body very early in their journey, and then spent the rest of the time trying to retrieve something along the lines of his mind or memories or soul. I've just entered into some wealthy household, and the lady of the house is greeting me. She uses formal greetings that trick me into responding in a way that formally declares us to be on friendly terms. By doing this, she's effectively prevented me from being able to bring up past grievances. This is very irritating. I'm thinking about how this way of manipulating words is something that she taught her husband, and it's the main thing that allowed him to make his fortune - that and the skill of building false walls that she also taught him, both things that she learned in her time working for a kind of illusionist or something similar, before she married. As I'm thinking about this I'm seeing an image of a false wall in their house which they use to spy on visitors, and then a scene of her visiting the court of a nobleman. She's raising a glass and saying "To the ruler of the land, Sho Haoon!" Calling him the ruler of the land is sort of overstating things - it's a position that's in question. She's been flattering him a great deal in order to get what she wants.
yea i dont remember this one that well so i kno at one point i was at club and dancing with my sister and some other family members but i just really dont know what was happening.. oooh yea i think i was at like st peterspburg and there were these giant fountains shooting out water and stuff with beautfilul roman sculputres
I was tired but fell asleep late last night. So when I woke up I went back to sleep. In my dream I was in the living room with my nephew and brothers. My bro was sleeping on the floor and my sis came in with someone. My nephew kept trying to jump on the couch so I told him to stop and he did.That's when I appearered on my bed laying on my stomach. The room was kind of bright though. I than proceeded to have images on my mind about the forum. In it Kadie was making a prediction about something weird. Her text said her prediction was right cause there were 3 something and 8 seasons of good surplus or something. Maybe it was food related but w/e. Than I felt someone feeling on my feet. I than had a false awakening and was on my bed again. But went back to sleep to see in first person a image of a house. First it started out small and black. But I tried harder and could see everything. The bathroom was clean. The walls were pink on the bottom with some brown and bone white on the top I think....anyways I appeared on my bed again but this time I was outside my body. I tried to get in but started vibrating cause I was scared. I saw images of ham with 1 blue ham in it and 3 glasses of red juice with straws in them.I think i ate 1 and drank some juice when it happened. XD But after like 2 mins I woke up for real. I think I had this dream cause I was thinking about how I didn't want this kind of dream....but oh well.

Last night I had planned on doing another WBTB combined with SSILD but due to there being a nasty thunderstorm outside and it being REALLY hot I was barely able to sleep at all! So I cancelled my WBTB-alarm which was set at 05:30 in order to have enough rest for the exam the next day. For most of the night I wasn't sleeping but in some weird limbo between sleeping and awake, I could open my eyes at any point but I didn't have a sense of time anymore so I laid there for 3 hours motionless. However at last I fell asleep and had 2 long vivid dreams. 1. The creepy/not creepy place? I was outside some old abandoned castle in the middle of some swamps and it was getting dark, my dad's with me and we decide to enter it using a side entrance on the right. There were stairs going down and we were in a hallway that looked like a public toilet, everything was abandoned and crumbling apart. I could see everything in a greenish way like we used glowsticks, I walked further and turned right, suddenly the dimensions of the inside changed and the hallway of the beginning was now part of a large open room. There were sky-lights in the ceiling every now and then letting in some ambient light, it looked like it was a deserted ski shop with skies hanging of the wall for sale. We decided to take some of them as they looked good, in total we took 4 pairs. Then we heard a noise from the door we entered, I crawled under a rack and saw a woman entering, suddenly there were people around the place like it was some sort of mall. As I tried to casually walk away she walked up to my dad and asked "Did you two just steal my skies?", we started bringing up some story why we had those skies in our backpacks and it actually sounded legit, like I expected she would let us go but she didn't believe us. She said, give the skies back and that's $50 for stealing. Dissapointed and slightly annoyed my dad gave 50 bucks and we leaved, however I managed to keep one pair of skies in my backpack. After that we went down some abandoned hallways again and at some point through an open door on the right I saw a modern classroom and my cousine sitting there doing his exam. There were about 50 other students in there and then he waved at me, I waved back and continued down the hallway. It turned to the left and then again to the left so me made a 180° turn in total. After that we exited the castle on a side entrance on the left, I noticed my dad was missing and walked up to the front of the castle behind the central pond. I looked at the middle through some of the large windows and saw an entity floating through the main hallway of the castle which gave of a dim white light. I began to get scared as I just saw a ghost and I'm standing alone in a dark swamp near a haunted castle. It was pitch black and I decided to go home, I used my IPad as a flashlight which showed me the way back. Ones I got home I knew I had to defeat that crazy wizard that lived in that castle and held my dad in his dungeon. I had to find my blue wizard-shoes! I found one at home but knew the other one was at the haunted castle so I went back and acted like a was someone that was simply lost in the Woods, I friendly introduced myself to the wizard and saw my other wizard-shoe laying on some planks on the ground. I waited till he looked away and put it on. 2. Secret spy-agent I'm some sort of super agent chasing down a terrorist in a city, the sun is setting. We run over balconies and rooftops, suddenly a giant down on the street level starts trying to smack me of the balcony, as I run away from his giant hand I can hear the buildings crashing down behind me. At last I stop on a balcony above a bar from which the railings are full with barbed wire, I ask the owner who's on the balcony too to remove it but he responds agressivly. I know there isn't much time and the terrorist is already climbing down to street level. I say "Ah fuck the wire anyway" and jump right over the railing, very fast and acrobatic do I manage to climb down the side and continue my chase. He runs further up a plaza were he tries to climb up somewhere but I get to him and pull him down, throw him on the ground and take him out using some super kungfu punches. Another terrorist attacks me and I take him down too using my close-combat skills. I hope next night I'll be able to fall asleep properly and attempt another WBTB with SSILD. I must say however that even though I had just 2 dreams they were both extremely vivid and long. Each lasting over 30 minutes I'd guess.

Me and my friend were in the same strange apocalyptic really. We were with some other character who was more experienced in this world . The setting was tall trees and a tree house, some ropes but I can not remember what they were attached too. The other character was reminiscing of the past when he was young and when the world was more beautiful. There was lake by us but it was all dirty was plastic water bottles and filled with trash and garbage. It the dream I felt fear for the way the world was turning out. The character in the dream seemed to some kind of outlaw or someone who was evil, and we were doing bad stuff do but I can't remember what.
I unfortunately could not remember any of my dreams last night.
00:00 Tuesday 2014-06-10 00:51 pre-bedtime 01:07 bedtime 05:39 + in a (motel?) room with people, my mother is commenting on the decor (she doesn't like the picture with ships on it), entering/leaving a room I stumble a bit across the threshold there are some guys kneeling down on the floor interacting with some object there that I tripped over. + walking through motel rooms, (we're the decorators?) we enter one entirely painted in bright electric blue with relief patterns on the walls, I "recognize" (fake memory) the room and the patterns, I go to a table with a sushi waiter where the question is what hard alcohol goes best with sushi, ordered. + something with another couple (swingers?) + in a room with a black dachshund, I kiss the dachshund, then hold his muzzle right up against my cheek/eye, I'm a big concerned it could turn aggressive and seriously bite my face + views of bridges over rivers, they made travel possible from one area to another, some bridges were just long tubes, rather small, hardly any room to pass, one tube had a bulge out on one side that may allow for two cars to go by each other. Long time getting back to sleep, MILD, WILD, noisy wife kept me awake, uncomfortably too cold, fitful / poor sleep for the rest of the night. 10:29 + some conflict with another family, walking around/outside their house + discussing basketball passing theory for the forward position player, imagining the play while discussing + observing snipers in camouflage creeping through the grasses, I'm standing nearby, they're taking zoom pictures of objects in the distance, I see their weapons, and then I get the "camera" view of what they're photographing.
June 09, 2014 I only remembered one fragment... Or rather, I know I remembered full dreams when I woke up, but I was not in the mood to write them down right away, and then either forgot because I didn't think about them enough, or fell back asleep... This Book! I was with my brothers at Oma's house, and we were talking about a book that my brothers didn't think was all that special. "But it's got all the ends of all the Harry Potter characters! I've got Dumbledore's end, even!" (didn't occur to Dream-Kestrel that we all know Dumbledore's end from the books, anyways...)
June 08, 2014 Kebab Gets Sick I was with the backpacking group, drinking in an old house. I think the house belonged to one of my family members, or someone I knew, but I can't remember who it was. The house had a very modern feel to it, even though it was old. We were all on the second floor, and suddenly Kebab said, "I forgot how sick this stuff makes me..." and goes to the upstairs bathroom, but he gets worried that it won't hold all of his vomit (I laughed out loud as I wrote this out) and so he tries to get to the bigger bathroom downstairs, and... well, let's just say he left a trail, and it was disgusting. I must have blotched out the part where I cleaned it all up. I remember being on the stairs at the point where it turns (it was one of those kinds of stairways), hearing him vomiting all the way to the bathroom, and then more in the bathroom. I remember thinking, Oh God, I'm going to have to clean this up... And then I remember being back upstairs with Zukin, Penny, Ivan, and a friend of his, who was in my own grade instead of a year below me, like all three of the others are. I was telling them all about my Dream Journal, and gave them all my DV username so they could find me once they joined the site (Zukin and I were recruiting them all). Suddenly, I was in my high school cafeteria, just as I am saying the last five letters of it; "E-L-K-A-T..." And then someone on the complete other side of the cafeteria yells, "E-L-K-A-T!" And then someone else yells it from another side of the room, and soon the whole room is shouting "KESTRELKAT! KESTRELKAT!! KESSSSSTRELKAAAAATTT!!!" It was so strange. Murder at the Musical A friend and I (at the beginning, I don't remember who she was, but toward the end it was one of my friends from college) were acting in a musical about a crazy King who tries to kill his daughter and her friend. My friend plays the daughter, and I play her friend... Her dad plays the crazy King. Can you see where this is going yet? Anyways, we find out that her father is trying to kill us; He is going to do it right on stage and get away with it because people will think it's just really good acting. Or, it may have actually been that he was going to actually kill us in order to make it the best show ever. I can't remember exactly which it was, or if it was both. In the musical, the crazy King pretends to be the painting in his daughter's room in order to get her and her friend while they are off-guard, and he jumps at them with a knife, killing the friend first, because he knows his daughter wouldn't dare to avenge her friend and he could easily get her right after. Everyone else in the play found out her father's plan, and was trying to help us. We couldn't go straight to the police because they wouldn't believe us if we did. So we all continued with rehearsals as planned, to formulate our plan and also to keep her father from finding out that we knew his plan. We had to all live in the building in which we practiced, and we weren't allowed to leave at all. It was an abandoned warehouse that was for some reason located on my home street. When it was time to do a sort of official advertising for the musical (there was a local musical association, and they held an event where all the main characters of the various plays and musicals being put on would gather and try to sell tickets to people passing by on the street), my friend and I left the building (since we were main characters, and her Father could not keep us hidden away with the rest of the cast). Her father was already there, and we were to meet him. We decided we would expose him today, because there would be many people and policemen to help us, and he wasn't really a good actor anyways so he wouldn't be able to lie his way out of it. The event was being held a couple blocks away, and so my friend and I had to get up the hill on my street. We were having a very hard time doing it, because of our bulky costumes, so we put on roller blades that we apparently had hidden in the bulky dresses we wore. The going got much faster then. When we reached the top of the hill (that's where it meets the street on which the event was held), we saw that there were many, many more people than we had expected. Even better; more witnesses to his horrible lying and more support for ourselves. We found a policewoman and explain what was going on, and we led her to where my friend's dad was, in his ridiculous costume (like this, just he was a painting of a rather creepy looking clown, and the frame was almost as big as he was). We exposed him, and the police took him away. They told my frind and me that we should get the rest of the cast and crew, so that we could all go to testify at the station. We go back to the building, gather the others, and get on a bus to get to the police station. As we walked to the bus stop, we all decided that we would have to find another musical to perform in, and that we would stick together because we had become like family. When we got on a bus, and it started moving, a man that had been sitting on a bench at the stop moved with the bus. He was outside of the bus, but moved as if he were in it, even swaying as the driver used the brakes too heavily. I stared out the window at him, and he stared back, grinning. Every time we stopped at a bus stop, the man would appear to adjust himself in his seat of air, so that he looked like he was just sitting at the bus stop. He was describing something to me, and it was strange, because I could hear his voice in my head again. But, I can't remember what he was describing to me. He wore a patch-filled jacket and had a sing-songy voice, but I didn't realize until I was awake that it was the same person from my Gangster Pimp story, who may have been The Face from another dream I had. The leader of our little troupe suddenly told us all to get off the bus, quickly. In the confusion, the man whom I will call The Face until I learn his real identity vanished. I reach my troupe and find that they have been confronted by a group of white men and women (my whole troupe, except for my friend and me, was black, with only 1 or 2 women). They stood in lines facing each other, with the leaders of the two groups standing opposite each other. It seemed everyone in my own group had a counterpart in the other group, except for my friend and me. I suddenly know that our leader had taken s off the bus because he'd seen the other group waiting to get on it, and wanted to avoid a confrontation; but the leader of the other group had also spotted him getting off, and had stayed, just to pick a fight. "What are you doing with these little white girls, eh? You messin' with them?" Their leader turned to me. "They messin' with you, honey?" "We're their friends," I say. "Oh really?" "We're in a play- a musical- together." The other group collectively mocked me and I saw some of their members push some of my friends, so I tried to make myself a human barrier between the two groups, hoping I could stop a fight from happening. The other group members were saying really nasty, rude, and disrespectful things about my friends, and I could see my group beginning to get angrier, but they didn't make any moves. Then, I saw my group's leader's thoughts for an instant; but it was enough to know that he and his friends had been in a bad situation before joining the musical cast and crew, and they all wanted to live better lives now. "Just ignore them all," I said to my friends, while staring into the eyes of the opposite group leader. That all went on for a few more minutes, and the situation was looking so desperate that I turned around and hugged as many of my group members as I could, crying. I guess the antagonizing gang must have gotten weirded out by my show of affection, and they left with the grumblings of an aggressor who doesn't really want to open that can of worms anymore. We all sat down to wait for the next bus. People sniggered and talked bad about me, as if what I'd done was the stupidest thing they'd ever seen, and I snapped at them all, "Shut the FUCK up! What would you all have done?! Run away? Watch your friends get hurt?" My group leader ruffled my hair and the rest fell silent, just like my group was. It was all very sober until the bus got there. I sat at a window seat, with the leader to my right and my friend to his right. I remembered my leg brushing his, and realizing I needed a shower REALLY bad because my legs were prickly as fuck. Then I woke up.

1 - I was in prison. There was a lot of wheeling and dealing happening, I was involved in a lucrative operation and I was watching things happen all around me as competitors also did their deals. There was a lot of goods being smuggled in and being moved throughout the system. I had my business happening but so did many others and as you could probably guess there were some crews that worked together to increase profit margins and sales but there was always going to be undercutting and inter-operational competition. One afternoon I was walking through the main unit, I was chatting to another inmate about an old friends house and we walked through the halls into a common area. I saw a guy ahead of me name Dwayne, He was about 5 foot 8, Short brown hair and he was young only 24, he was using his lighter to light something he held in his hand, it took quickly and then he threw it over me and I watched as it flew past and realised it was a Molotov cocktail. It went past me and it sailed over the officers station hitting the floor on the other side and exploding into a mass of flame. I was quickly approached by officers and they all threatened me and yelled at me, I knew I was going down to solitary. I reached out and I dropped all of the good I had into a bin because I knew they would search me when I got down to the poky. They surrounded me, putting handcuffs on me as they grabbed me by my arms, and began walking me to the solitary unit. We got outside the main unit and the officers noticed it was raining heavily and decided that they should wait until the rain had eased a little bit. I stood there in the cold and saw a guy Ray sitting nearby at a table smoking a cigarette. I called him over and asked if I could have the last half of it as I was about to go to the slot and probably wouldn't get another chance for a while. He acquiesced to my request and shared his cigarette with me. I woke up in my cell and I found a note on my bench that I was being Shanghai'd (transferred to another prison), I knew that I had to try and move most of my goods to make as much money as I could before leaving So I could go into business at the new prison, I also had to organise for somebody to take over what would be left of my business upon my departure. I walked the halls past all the cells and made my way to the dining area where I found Dwayne, Kazz and Vee. Dwayne and Vee were eating breakfast and percolating coffee while Kazz was getting a shave with a straight edge razor. 2 - I was standing in my kitchen, I had a whole lot of reams of paperwork and just boxes and boxes of random things that I retrospectively recognised as things related to my old life, I had a little container full of clear white liquid that I knew was some kind of fuel that I could use when lighting this stuff on fire. I just couldn't figure out exactly the best way to set everything out so that it would burn the quickest and at its maximum temperature. No matter what I tried I kept finding things that I just couldn't bring myself to set on fire. The more I readied this pile, the smaller it got. it was just little things that I was saving from the conflagration but they seemed to make the pile exponentially smaller. I eventually got everything ready and I threw the lighter onto the oil and watched it as the flames took everything with them in a sudden explosion of flame and a plume of smoke. My last thought was: 'this smoke probably isn't good for the environment.'
