      Dream 1
      Not-Lucid

      I am walking around in this city like subarbs its very bright and the houses look very nice. I come up to one of the houses and on the sign it says SoloMid. I think to myself does team solo mid really live here?? I stood there for a minute thinking if i should knock but then the door opens and dyrus comes out of the door and we begin to chat. we talk about weight lifting and playing games. He invites me in and we just hang out he asks if i want a beta key for this new game and i say yes that would be awesome. some guy walks up and chucks a phone at me and i catch it. it scares the crap out of me but on it was the beta key.


      Dream 2

      Several people i was with seem to be hitting it off but its kind of creepy because they are related. The girls in the dream leave and go on some drug trade and the police are near them but the drug lord isnt letting them out. The master cook comes over and shows them some cocaine and a voice next to me that sounds like jordan goes ha. Thats the only other beaner in the whole movie.

      Dream 5
      Not Lucid

      I show up to this giant building and go in i walk around and find out that im doing security work at this building. I agree that is fine and i go about to diferent floors just checking that they are all clear. I hop on one of those two wheeled things that mall cops use and drive around other employes are jealous and want to ride on it I tell them sorry I can't its company policy. I then head over to the elevator and think nah ill try and take the stairs. I go over and start riding down the stairs on it. i got to the bottom and went to my car and looked for a change of clothing but i couldnt find a shirt i looked and looked but no shirt How was I going to go to my other job?? So i i got in my car and I drove to a home and got some cloths and on the way back i saw some other security guards that i worked with driving ot get to work for the next shift.

    2. 01/19/14 Two Worlds

      by , 02-21-2014 at 12:12 PM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
      01/19/14

      Two Worlds
      I am in a place I don't recognize. It is a futuristic looking city. There are many people walking around, simply going about their daily business. No one seems upset or anything. They are talking to each other about mundane topics. There are various races present, some of them look human and others look far from being human. There are also robots. A robot that looks similar to a C3-P0 unit politely says excuse me as he comes up behind me. I look and realize I am standing in the middle of a walkway. I mutter an apology and step out of the way. The robot wishes me a nice day and continues on his way. The humanoid reptile behind him isn't so polite. She is going on about how could a mere robot have the nerve to expect a real person to move aside for him. She says she can't believe the nerve of some of these artificials. Right now I am thinking I would much rather hang out with the C3-P0 unit than her. She is just rude and annoying. After seeing she isn't going to get any response out of me she continues on her way, now muttering expletives about people who love artificials. I follow after her for a short while, not sure if she has anything to do with why I might be here. She finally stops and turns back to me. She asks what my problem is, am I having sex with that damn artificial? If I am it makes her sick. I tell her that who I am having sex with is none of her business. She snoots her nose up in the air and walks off.

      I am trying to decide if I should bother following the grouch any more… I am considering doing it just to piss her off… when someone shoves me out of the way rather rudely. I look to see who and I spot the back side of a lombax in a really big hurry. I recognize that lombax! It's Ratchet from the Ratchet and Clank games! He pushes past the rude reptilian woman who gives him a piece of her mind in a stream of expletives… but he is already gone and she finds she is cursing out someone who appears to be a human male. The man thinks she is cursing at him and tells her to shut the fuck up, calling her lizard brain. She seems offended by that, which seems ironic to me. The bigot bitch is now the subject of racism. She fluffs up some strange hood type thing around her head and gets all indignant and walks away in a huff. I am about to follow Ratchet when I hear something else. Someone is calling out Ratchet's name and telling him to come back here, why are you doing this? Of course Ratchet is long gone and could not possibly hear the person calling him. I go to investigate the person calling instead. I can track Ratchet down later if I need to.

      I follow the voice that called Ratchet and find a small work room. There are computers all over the place as well as an array of tools. Some of the tools are put away neatly while others are strewn on a work table. Clank is here, he is standing on the work table. He is connected to a large object sitting on the floor by what looks like a long extension cord. Wtf? He isn't looking when I come in and apparently thinks Ratchet has come back. He says he is glad I have finally come to my senses… now put his robotic ignition system right back where it belongs, and he'd better have a good explanation as to… Now Clank turns around and sees me at the door, he sees I am not Ratchet. I tell him I don't know what is going on, but I saw Ratchet running down the street as if he was being chased by a blargian snagglebeast. I tell him I believe I have been brought here to help… so what is going on? Clank looks mad for a bit, then he just looks sad. He says he wishes he knew, but he doesn't think I can be much help unless I have a robotic ignition system. I tell him I can get one of those… I think… I access the penticon chip in my brain and ask if it can replicate a robotic ignition system. It scoffs at me and says of course, just upload the exact specifications. There is a pause, Clank looks at me strangely, and then a mechanical device appears on the work table. My penticon reports the replication is complete. Clank picks up the device, opens a panel in his side, plugs a couple things in to the device before putting the whole device inside and closing the panel. He then unplugs the extension cord. He says he's glad to be off of that thing. I ask what that is. He says it's a backup power source… his internal power system won't function without the robotic ignition system… which Ratchet stole! I ask why would he do that? Clank says he doesn't know, just that he seemed to be in a big hurry when he was setting up the backup power supply… which Clank hadn't realized what that was for at the time… but there must be something wrong. The Ratchet he knows would never have done that…

      Well it seems there is a bit of a mystery, and I guess I have to track Ratchet down after all. I sniff the air and comment that I smell a Templar, more to myself than to anyone around. Clank asks what that is. I say it's like saying I smell a rat, only far, far worse. A Templar… smells like the stuff that comes out of the south end of a north bound blargian snagglebeast. He cocks his head and looks at me strangely. I comment that someone is going to eat dirt. Clank apparently thinks I mean Ratchet because he says no, don't kill Ratchet… there must be a very good explanation, he's sure of it… there has to be… I tell him I don't mean Ratchet… I mean someone else I know named Robert de Sable who I suspect is somehow behind everything. He's a Templar. Gotta go find him and Ratchet before something happens that can't be undone so easily as replacing a robotic ignition system.

      I head out of the work shop quickly, but I am sure Ratchet is long gone. I am wondering how to best find him when I see a ship fly overhead. It looks like the ships that are often used in the Ratchet and Clank games. I scan it with my penticon quickly and confirm Ratchet is on board. I summon my fire valkyrie, teleport aboard. I hear Clank following after me and saying he wants to come, so I also teleport him aboard. I follow after Ratchet as he heads into space. In space I use the communicator to contact Ratchet. At first he doesn't respond at all but then he apparently realizes Clank is with me and answers. He seems glad to see Clank is ok, though he also seems surprised and says he'd been told the replacement robotic ignition system wasn't due in until tomorrow… I say I replicated one. Clank wants to know what's going on. I can't really tell if Clank is pissed off or worried or what. He says there's no time to explain, there's something he's got to do… and shuts off communication. The other ship is preparing to go to warp drive, so I use a tractor beam and hold it in place. That gets Ratchet's attention back really quick and he makes contact again, now saying to let him go or they'll all be killed. All of who? The lombaxes! And he's already late, it might already be too late! Clank seems annoyed now, he says if there are lombaxes in danger, why didn't Ratchet just say so? Ratchet should have known Clank would help… Ratchet says no, he has to go alone, those are the rules. He has to give himself up or that bastard is going to kill all of them. Clank says it's no doubt a trap. Ratchet looks at something off to his side and then looks like the world is about to end. He says it's too late now… there's no way he can get there in time. I comment my ship can get there in time. Just tell me where. And there won't be any flying into a trap alone, either. He repeats he has to go alone or that bastard is going to destroy the whole planet. I use Of Wolf and Man to transform into Ratchet. Ok… now where? Clank and Ratchet are both staring at me now. I tell Ratchet if time really is running out, I just need to know where to go. Clank asks if I'm not worried that whoever this is will just kill me instead. I say no. Not at all worried. I got abilities this guy has certainly never even had nightmares about. Let's see if this asshole is counting on meeting up with a formshifting virus.

      Well now I look like Ratchet, but I figure the asshole in question might also notice if a fire valkyrie comes flying in. So I use the ship computer to open a wormhole to the coordinates Ratchet provides. I tell him I'll use my transporter to swap places with him, just take my ship back to the planet, I need to use his to make sure the asshole doesn't notice a difference. He agrees to it, and my penticon does the teleportation. It feels a bit strange to see someone else sitting in the pilot's seat of my fire valkyrie… but I figure it will be ok. I fly through the wormhole. On the other side I can tell I am now on the outskirts of the galaxy. It is quite an amazing view. There is a space station hovering in the emptiness of space. That is where Ratchet has been told to go, so that is where I will go. I fly over to the station. I get a communication from the station. The transmission is from a strange alien that I recognize from the Ratchet and Clank series, he's a cragmite. Looks like Percival Tachyon from the later games. So I figure he probably wants to get rid of Ratchet, me now, because he (I'm) a lombax. He's just being an asshole. He says I am late. That is bullshit. I tell him I'm fucking early. He doesn't really respond, but the landing bay of the station opens up so I land.

      In the landing bay I find I am surrounded by numerous strange creatures that look like fish wearing suits of armor. Weird. My first thought is that the sushi is delivering itself. But I figure I had better not resist or that damn Tachyon is going to do whatever it is he has been threatening to do. They use some kind of restraint to secure my hands behind my back. I test it a bit. Yeah, my viral strength can snap it like a twig. I do nothing but go with them, however. Gotta find the head of the snake. I follow the fish people into a large control room where Tachyon is standing right beside a console with a very distinctive red button. He is laughing at something. I see the largest display screen shows a city inhabited by lombaxes. I wonder where that is. Tachyon now that I'm here the show can begin. He tells me to say goodbye to the rest of my kind. While his behavior doesn't really surprise me at all, it does still piss me off. I say he gave his word that if I came he wouldn’t do that. My penticon is talking to me at the same time. It says it has accessed the targeting system and found a more appropriate target. Tachyon acts like he is surprised, then says he wouldn't have said that… I am trying to talk Tachyon out of firing the weapon, because I am not sure I can get to him before he can push the button. Maybe… but I'm not wanting to take that chance. My attempts to convince him to not do it seem to amuse him. He clearly doesn't care that the lombaxes on the screen have done nothing to him… the last thing I comment is that when someone does something like that it inevitably comes back to bite them in the ass. He says there's no one to make him pay.

      So Tachyon is laughing his ass off when he makes a show of pushing the button. Nothing happens. He stops laughing and looks at the screen which still shows a city with lombaxes going about their daily business. He pushes the button again. Still nothing. He pushes it several more times, getting more frustrated with every push. I can't help but point out how anti-climatic that was. He is pissed and pounding on the button. I look over at a screen near the firing button. There's a gage that had been maxed out just a few minutes ago, now it is sitting on empty. It is the reading for the weapon charge level. I tell Tachyon it clearly already fired… maybe he needs to check his targeting coordinates. He stops pushing the red button and looks at the gage. He then looks at a terminal and begins typing something on it. He says something can't be, seems visibly upset by it. The scene of lombaxes on the screen is replaced by a scene showing the debris of what may have recently been a planet. He looks at the console, at the screen, then he glares over at me and asks how the fuck I managed to do that. I tell him I did nothing… he did that. What did you do? Blow up the wrong fucking planet? My penticon reports to me that he has successfully destroyed the planet where the cragmites had ended up after the lombaxes had sent them through a dimensional portal. I do a face palm… a double… I need more hands. He blew up his own planet!

      Tachyon is pissed off beyond belief at me. He seems to think I somehow managed to access his computer system and retarget the weapon all while being restrained and right in front of him trying to talk him out of firing it. I tell him nope, this is all him. I told him it would bite him in the ass… He insists on saying I will pay for it and so will all of those other filthy lombaxes. Well I don't particularly want to consume this one… I am thinking his thoughts and memories might be too repulsive… but I also want to know if he has had dealings with Robert de Sable, if that is why I was brought here. I tell him maybe he was given a defective weapon… by who? The name wouldn't happen to be Robert de Sable, would it? He stops mid rant and looks at me. He looks like he has just figured it all out. He says Robert de Sable must be my friend! I knew the whole time that the weapon wouldn't fire where he aimed it because my friend Robert de Sable set me up. I tell him Robert is no friend of mine… but that does explain where a dumb cragmite managed to get hold of an interdimensional planet destroyer weapon. I smell a Templar. He says it doesn't matter… as soon as the weapon is charged he will make sure it is aimed at the lombax planet and blow them all out of existence. He pushes a couple buttons on the controls and the power gage starts rising as the weapon is recharging.

      I decide I have had enough of Tachyon. More than enough, really. I tell him the only ones about to not exist are him and his pal Robert. He laughs at me and says there's nothing I can do about it. If it wasn't for the fact he wants me to see the rest of the lombaxes wiped out of the galaxy I'd already be dead. I tell him he talks a lot… that's because he's weak. And pathetic. He says I'm in no position to be insulting him. I break the restraints like a twig. He backs up a couple steps. He points at me and say GET HIM! So that's his whole plan? Not going to work on a virus. I don't bother shifting back to my normal form, but I do activate an Alex Mercer blade on my right arm. There are fish people all around me in their futuristic armor. My blade slices through their armor like a hot knife through butter. So I cut down the enemies that attack me. I see Tachyon staring at that scene for a bit before he apparently decides it would be a good idea to make a hasty retreat. This guy is as much of a flaky chicken-wuss as Robert himself! Come back here, you flaky jerk! Feel my blade! I am about to chase after Tachyon when I see the power gage on the weapon is at full… and still climbing. It is now overcharging. It is entering the red zone. The intercom system is now warning of imminent detonation if the charge is not stopped.

      Forget Tachyon. He will most likely blow up with his station. Just to be sure the overcharge can't be aborted I smash the controls before leaving. I head back the way the fish people brought me from. My ship, or really Ratchet's ship, is still sitting in the landing bay. I jump into the ship and launch out of there. I am flying away from the station when there is a blinding explosion behind me… the whole thing just blew up. I wonder if there is any chance Tachyon got out of that alive. I figure if he did, at least he won't have access to an interdimensional planet destroyer weapon now. Scans show no signs of life in the vicinity. So I just have to go back to Ratchet and Clank and tell them the lombax planet is safe, and Tachyon is most likely subatomic particles. I use the penticon chip in my brain to open the wormhole I need to get back quickly. I land Ratchet's ship near my own fire valkyrie, which is landed not far from the work room where I originally found Clank. I get out of the ship and go to the work room. Both Ratchet and Clank are there, though I get the idea they haven't been getting along too well. I hope Robert didn't succeed in fucking things up between them with his stupid interference… I tell them that the planet destroyer is gone, Tachyon is space dust. Or at least I think he's space dust. I didn't actually see him explode. Ratchet seems relieved at that news. Clank still looks kind of pissed. It seems Ratchet is just giving him some space. I don't know if it makes any difference, but I flood the room with positive energy with a song spell I hum to myself. It does seem to have some effect. Clank doesn't look as mad, he asks me what that strange melody is. I say it is called Voices, from a show where I come from called Macross. Well all I can do is hope what Robert did doesn't leave any lasting effect, because it is here that I wake up.

      Writing down dream notes (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I dreamt I would lay in my bed and write down notes about my recent dream "German Jackass?" on my phone. Then I woke up and was confused whether I did write down the notes or not.

      Last night I was reading a book before bed and then had 7 dreams. This night I was reading stuff on my phone before sleeping and only had 3 dreams.
      I guess the stuff about watching screens before sleeping reducing dream recall or whatever is true.

      German Jackass? (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      There is a new TV show with a bunch of German famous comedians.
      Two of them, one being Michael Kessler
      (pic), went to my old school and started a fight in front of the pupils to shock them.

      Watching wrestling with my mom (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I was watching a WWE (Professional Wrestling) Live Event on TV with my mother. It was just a single match instead of a bunch of matches. The match was kind of like a Royal Rumble, where random Wrestler enter the fight after a certain amount of time, but Wrestlers weren't eliminated when the get thrown over the rope out of the ring. In fact they were allowed to fight outside the ring without disqualifications.

      During the match I was telling my mom all sorts of background information even though she didn't really care most of the time.
      I remember I also told her about the wrestler Daniel Bryan and his impact on the company.
      (The WWE has quiet a few of problems recently which makes the fanbase pretty mad. One of which seems to be that wrestler.)

    6. 00:00 Friday 2014-02-21

      by , 02-21-2014 at 11:25 AM
      Did everything "wrong" but still ended up with some recall. To bed super late (2am-ish), ate a bunch of chocolate late in the evening (I have no caffeine tolerance so it gives me a caffeine buzz), ate a big heavy meal immediatley before bed. Up early for breakfast duty, so only one recalled dream. Not nearly as clear as other nights this week but still OK.

      Tomorrow marks my 6th month anniversary of LD practice!

      morning (get up) waking:

      + I'm in my (fictional) house, putting on socks, sock on left foot is ripped to shreds at the toes, all my toes show through there's barely any material over my toes, I adjust a thread of the sock from one toe to another. I think I should put on my birkenstocks, but wonder about whether this will hurt my foot (real life memory, I currently have a foot issue). I see outside a window to the path running down the side of the house (very narrow, neighbor's fence is right there), I see bright green grass clumps growing up through the cement pathway, I think the side of the house is dirty/messy and do people ever clean there, I hear the next door neighbour (the next house is just a few feet away) over the fence. I'm thinking about going out to get some fast food.

      after breakfast duty, about 1.5 hours later, back for a nap. I'm wide awake, but manage to eventually block off all thoughts and daydreams and get back to sleep.

      next two wakings:

      + in a rented house, meet the landlord man, more man friends of his come by, I speak English, but they're (foreign), I repeat in foreign language, they laugh I think at my accent. One guy lies down on a narrow long couch and sinks into it I think it looks like a coffin. There's a rollaway bed by the wall. We say yes everything is fine with the apartment. We normally deal with the landlord's wife. He's older about 60-70.

      + wife and kids are going on a trip they're meeting the bus at the store down the street

      + I'm getting off a bus (at my childhood home, bus route doesn't match real life bus route) I have a lot of stuff, the driver starts going again before I can gather everything up and get out the door, as he gets impatient that I'm taking a long time to get off, I go up to him and yell (foreign language) "STOP PLEASE!", he stops, I go back to my seat, there are so many bags there, I try to gather them all up into my arms.

      + In a room with my wife, I'm lying down, there's another older woman there standing over my head with her feet apart, there's going to be some "swinging" action, I remove my underwear, feel very self-conscious about what this woman thinks of my "equipment", I look up and see some kind of bizarre and unappealing genatalia. I have some concerns about my wife's devotion to me.

      + (DO) overhead view of some sort of game where pieces move over terrain. Bunch of people/kids/ some sort of club?

      + outdoor scene of water and ice flowing and heaving in large pools (residue of watching glacier calving video a few days ago?)

    9. White Noise Staircase

      by , 02-21-2014 at 08:21 AM
      Night of February 21, 2014. Friday.

      Dream #: 17,231-05. Reading time: 1 min 18 sec. Readability score: 45.



      I become aware that I am dreaming. I first perceive myself to be in a featureless room in semidarkness. Soon, there is the perception of my thoughts and awareness expanding. As a result, a staircase forms with the simultaneous presence of white noise.

      As it appears, it creates the impression of hissing “snowflakes” (white points of light) suddenly coming together to form a white staircase in front of me with the appearance of a photographic negative. Rather than ascending it to investigate, I decide to walk out through a door to my right to wake, but I wake to feel blessed and loved.



      My dream had subliminal influence from a scene from “The Other,” a 1972 horror film, in which Niles is placing cattails everywhere in the barn, including the staircase. (Additionally, carrying and moving the cattails results in a rustling sound similar to white noise.) Even so, it correlates with the autosymbolic construct of the dreaming and waking processes.

      A staircase, which is a factor of vestibular system correlation, becomes a feature in a dream when I either anticipate or subliminally, liminally, or concurrently will a difference in the level of dream state focus of awareness and anticipate changes in perception of my illusory physicality. It is used in meditation and hypnosis to go into and out of different levels of consciousness. Descending the staircase typically correlates with entering the state while ascending correlates with the waking process.

      Precursory contemplation of a vestibular system simulacrum (a projection of the subliminal, liminal, or concurrent anticipation of the waking process) occurs here but does not complete. In the movie, the character Ada (falsely perceived as an angel in the scene in the first moments) attempts to kill Niles by burning the barn down, but he escapes through a door as she jumps into the fire.

      It is intriguing how the subliminal recall of a horror movie can result in a dream of a very different nature with a satisfying outcome.

    10. Vivid but random

      by , 02-21-2014 at 06:39 AM
      Non lucid dream.

      Was on a farm or something... not quite sure. Had a small window of time where I could enjoy a water park. Only rode one slide however and the rest of the time was spent running around trying to find a locker for my stuff. Then I went on a drive with my Dad's old friends from the past. They wanted to go to a movie and the water park closed by the time we finished driving around.

      Later My friend and I were picking out gifts from this company repository / also part of our house. There was a room full of guns and we both chose some rifles that we liked. Then it transitioned to playing counter-strike and I was able to secure a few winning rounds by sniping from unusual locations.

    11. February 20, 2014 non-lucid #40

      by , 02-21-2014 at 03:51 AM (A Dreamer's Dreams)
      Journal Entry non-lucid #40 Dream, non-dream (Comments)
      Background: I drank too much water for WBTB and ran out of my room thus making it hard to remember the early part of the night. I stayed up and tried playing games struggled with the internet connection for quite some time like 30-40 min. I finally got it going, I was sleepy and tired. I got on computer and began to categorize my dream signs like Stephan LaBerge suggested. I got tired went to room. I heard Robert Monroe's Advanced focus 10. I tried to WILD, but I fell asleep too early.

      Dream fragment 1, 3:40am-6:33am." Old conflicts, same conflict": I was trying to sleep on a curb and I saw a old rival, LE. I looked at him with shock and was ready to fight. He apologized and asked me to help him. His parents died so he cried but after a while I found out he was lying to me.

      Dream fragment 2, 3:40am-6:33am." Sad! Teacher got Cancer Again": Me and my dad were at a DMV. My dad didn't know where the line started so he went to the front. They kicked us to the back. I saw my old Eng 1A teacher. She was fatter and I asked her how is she doing. She told me she has cancer again and that is why she is here. She told me she went to Vegas and she enjoyed her time there. She went and sat down. The line was going I told her to go in front of us she was waiting before me and my dad. She just looked at me. My father gave me the look and turned around. She looked so weak and helpless. Alone on that bench. I felt sad in the dream because she fought cancer before and she has to fight it again.

    12. Lucidity Flicker

      by , 02-21-2014 at 03:40 AM
      This has been a rather strange night for me. Firstly, I had a mnemonically induced lucid dream, though I was still at a fairly low level of awareness. I soon consciously oversaw this dream collapse into blackness; but that was not the end of it. In retrospect, I'm not sure if I really retained memory and consciousness of my dreaming throughout the experience or if I inadvertently performed at least one DEILD or just a WBTB; but after I believed the dream to be gone, I became lucid again in the next dream - and, in a way, the same dream - several times. And becoming more and more aware each time.

      In the first of these dreams, I was in my home, getting ready for school and my mother was packing my lunch for me. With apparent spontaneity, I then realised that I was dreaming. I tried to exercise my dream freedom and act with the truth in mind that nothing I said or did before a dream character had any real repercussions. So I approached my mother's dream character and, taking note of her complacent reaction, took her arm and, after a brief delay, passed my hand/finger through it, for no reason other than to check the power that I had. After this, the dream was broken.

      I felt myself lying within my bed, remembering that I'd just had a lucid dream but now seeing naught but blackness. I wanted to go back to the lucid dream. I tried not moving in my current position and going back to where I had just been. In the next dream, I was already aware on some level that this was a dream, though I'm not sure if it was from the very beginning.

      Upon performing some kind of reality check, I made sure that I was dreaming once again. Also, I saw this dream beginning in a similar way to last time, as if it was that dream happening all over again. This time, however, I decided to build on my previous, faulty experience. I tried transporting myself away from my current location, which was then in my own bedroom and with my mother’s dream character, in which I had no interest and who was inhibiting my ability to think freely without worry of consequences.

      I thought of where a good place to transport myself inside my dream might be and, at least in part remembering the bonus task of the month that's in place right now on this website, I tried transporting myself to a mountain covered in snow. But instead of changing my environment, all my dream did was put me in front of my computer monitor, still in my bedroom, and turn it into a video game that was set atop a snowy mountain. It wasn't even that fun of a game but I went on to play it anyway, rather than protest or attempt to go bigger, because I imagined that I had myself made some sort of mistake and that that was the best my mind could be expected to do under the circumstances. This shows that I still didn't have the brightest level of dream awareness.

      In what was either my next dream or a distant continuation of my current one, I endeavoured to truly go to the snowy mountain once again and shouted at my subconscious, as a dream control method I'd learned, to turn my scene into that. However, I could only partially manage the transformation. When I looked around, there were still my mother's dream character and some pieces of furniture from my own house standing there. Soon, I lost my grip on the dream again.

      These times when the dreams kept fading were not something that felt like they could be stopped. I don’t remember seeing any warning signals before they fell apart to keep my grasp on the dream; at some point, sooner or later, I simply saw my dream environments disappear and be replaced by blackness, followed by an apparent realisation that I was lying in my bed. Yet every time, I retained that light of dream lucidity.

      Every next lucid dream I had, I seemed to gain more and more lucidity and dream awareness - though it still wasn’t as impressive as I’d have endeavoured for in the end. In my next dream, however, after performing a reality check by observing the anomalous face of a clock, I remembered the goals I'd formed long before to use in-dream techniques to increase my dream’s lucidity as much as possible. I was in my living room, where I saw a couple of superheroes hanging out (without finding it strange) and I rubbed my hands together. As I did this, my dream really did come to look more vivid. This was the first time I've ever used this hand-rubbing technique, along with a direct shout to my mind to increase the lucidity, in one of my lucid dreams.

      This technique turned out to be successful. The scene before me had become clear and vibrant; but then, for some reason, I kept seeing momentary interludes of blackness in my vision, as if I had been blinking very rapidly or as if frames in the dream movie were breaking up. One of the dream characters who sat before me noted this. The dream then broke again.

      In my next dream, I started back at my bedroom and looked at the clock, as I remembered having done last time. The numbers were wonky and the hands were off-centre, which was well enough to clue me into the fact that I was dreaming yet again. My mother's dream character actually came along and helped show me how strange it looked, now aiding me with the reality check. I picked myself up where I left off, with rubbing my hands to increase lucidity (which eventually faded if not cared for enough) in the living room, with superheroes on my couch.

      I appeared on the balcony of my home and decided to fly off. As I was flying past one of the tall buildings in my neighbourhood, I detected supervillain activity inside of it (to the superheroes on my couch?) and resolved to confront it. I also detected some kind of note from the villain - like a ransom note. But, since reading tends to be so difficult in dreams, I struggled to make any sense of it. I paid so much attention to trying to read the note, not taking this important detail into mind, that I must have been losing awareness points by now. And my dream broke once again.

      Next time, I knew right away that I was dreaming and I became extra-wary to preserve my dream and my awareness and to avoid confusing situations that I couldn’t control. Also, this was the first time when I started off in a different setting. I was in a school environment, one that was in chaos. There were people running around in the classroom and there was a teacher standing in front of me, who clearly was not happy. On the desk beside her were test papers and each one seemed to have a bad score on it - as well as vastly varying score denominators. One of them had a score of only 5 of an unrealistically large number, with too many zeroes to count. This, the teacher, was the score I had gotten on her last test. I was trying to not let this dream get to me and retain my lucidity; but it wasn't always easy. This scene was particularly dark and intimidating.

      I remember having other dreams that succeeded this one; but I doubt any more of them were lucid. I don't have much recollection of these dreams anyway, so there isn't much more to say.

      Although I'd looked forward to lucid dreaming as this night began, by the end of it, I was feeling kind of drained - even a little turned off to lucid dreaming the following day. Hopefully, as I gain knowledge and experience, dream control and retaining awareness will be easier in DILDs that I experience in the future.
    13. Nap - Fighting ex; Initiated into miltary

      2.20.14 Thursday

      Last night bed 12-7 am

      Nap around 3:20pm - 5:30pm

      DR
      I'm on some kind of a wooden walkway, that's in my backyard. It's raised up, about as high as trees. Ophelia's ex is there and I'm fighting him, because he is bugging them. I'm throwing some heavy glass vases or something similar at him. He catches one and I' thinking now I'm gonna get it, because we are only about 10 feet away. I brace for it, but he throws it down.

      Now I'm sleeping in white sheets, in sunny room. It has huge windows on one side. They lead to a wooden patio, that wrappes around the house. I ahve a feeling it's not a house, but a room in some resort.

      I lay on my back and I see this ex walking by the window. I'm hoping he will not see me in there, so he doesn't causes a scene by banging on window and trying to come in. There is a female with him. I have a sense she is nasty, same as him.

      DR 2
      I'm still on some raised platform, but now much higher. I feel like I'm a recruit about to be initiated into some military group. I'm walking up the stairwell. There is a female officer on top yelling on another recruit infront of me, that they are not suppose to stop.

      When I reach to, she askes me if I'm [name, last name, which I don't remember]. I say yes ma'am. Then she askes me my last name. I don't understand what she is asking so I say "excuse me"?. She repeats the question and yells at me, that if I understood her the first time, we would have been done already.

      I'm carrying a shopping bag full of orange juice liquid, without any containers. It seems, that at the top, we are suppose to lay on our back on top of the flying airplane and drink the juice. That's the initiation. 2 people are mocking me and touching my stomach, implying, that I'm not gonna be able to drink it all and I'll fail. As I'm standing higher on stairs, and they are a bit below me, I turn to them and tell them that "yeah, I should probably empty my stomach now, so I can drink it all" and I pretend to throw up on them.

      False Awakening
      Notes

      Last night was strange. I think I had a false awakening and was close to lucidity before that. I had plenty of dreams but the important one was early in the night.

      I was standing on train tracks in a snowy area. There was a train stopped on the tracks to mi right. At first, I thought I was seeing myself in third person but I discovered it was a clone or something of me. He had camera equipment and was yelling "It's not gonna happen!" to a group of people. I knew they were getting ready to film me while I was lucid. I realized this but didn't think it was true because my clone kept saying "you're awake! Look!" My view changed and I was staying at the TV in my GF's room, laying in bed. The vision was cloudy and the TV was off. I then re-appeared in my 'dream'. I did a reality check: Looked at my hands. At first, it was difficult but I managed to do it. My hands looked stockier and bigger than usual and were a dark color, as if they were burned or scorched. I kept looking at my hands but my clone kept saying "You can't do it, you're already awake! You're thinking this!" I was still looking at my hands when the world around me started shaking uncontrollably until I woke up.

      In my next dream, I was in my room looking down at my rat, Juanita. She was out of her cage, under my chair. I noticed something red in her left eye and when she turned her face, her eye had been torn off. She was oozing blood and I suspected one of the other rats did it. I yelled something and ended up waking up, agitated.

      Dream
      Notes

      I was a pirate last night. I had a crew of about 5 and we would look for treasures in the ocean. We'd have to fight monsters to get the objects from them. While on an island surrounded by mountains, my crew started a mutiny. I got off my frigate and began assassinating my former crew.
      I was then on land with a nearby lake battling magicians with a group of new people, still having to collect the objects.
      Again, I was teleported to an underground basement.I ran out and exited onto a beautiful green, grassy field with a lake, trees, and blue mountains with snow on them to the East. My objective was to drink water and get to another basement as fast as possible. The basement was a testing station. Many young kids were being tested in combatives with medieval weapons.
      For the third time, I was teleported back to the first basement. I proceeded to run towards the second one again. I saw a house, a well with muddy, salty water that I didn't want to drink, and the basement I first came out of. I saw a vision of a map and it showed where I had to go. As I ran, I saw a huge castle surrounded by walls. I thought maybe that was a small town. I also saw a structure right in front of the walls, and what looked like a cave further down to the left. Another castle was parallel to the cave. When I passed it, the basement was right behind it. I proceeded down in a hurry. I noticed an old man talking to a young boy who was sitting cross-legged. I grabbed the ladder, hit my feet on the ground, and teleported to the testing chamber. All of the contestants I saw were preteen girls.

      This is one of my favorites dreams. The place I saw while running was calming and it's probably the place I'd love to camp out or live at.
