My recall has been absolute crap lately and it's making me frustrated! I think it's because I keep going to bed so late, but I'm not sure?

1.) I was in an all concrete stadium type of place. It reminded me of a larger scale version of the Greek theater in Berkeley. It was supposed to be a school assembly and they were seating everyone depending on what class you were in. I had no idea who the person hosting the assembly was, but it was a man and he was walking through the audience with a microphone. He approached my friend Colleen and asked her a question, putting the mic up to her mouth. She replied with something that she thought would be a hilarious statement, but there was dead silence after she spoke and no one laughed like she was expecting them to. She got so embarrassed that she excused herself and ran away from the arena.

2.) I had this dream/fragment when I took a nap today around 2 pm.
I was scrolling through Tumblr, when suddenly posts were appearing on my blog that I hadn't been making. I figured someone must have hacked into my account and was posting these things. I really do have an all black and white Tumblr in real life, and in the dream this hacker was posting color photos, which was making me scared that I would lose followers because of it. I was frantically trying to delete the posts this person kept putting up. Each time I'd delete something, something new came up. The delete button was no longer under the posts now, giving me no way to delete them anymore. I don't know how to explain this next part, but I started to feel myself on the edge of consciousness? I had fallen asleep with my cell phone in my hand and I could feel my grip on it from within the dream? Then I realized I was in a dream and just opened my eyes.

I don't think I ever became actually lucid, however. I didn't have that rush of awareness and lucidity. It was more of a nonchalant thought my dream self had, so I think it was just a plot twist my brain was making up for the dream or something lol. :p It probably doesn't make sense, but yea.

3:30am

I was interviewing people for se kind of position that the candidates seemed to think had the potential to save the world.

It was surprising to me how many of the candidates for this position knew Polish, somehow knew I knew it too, and addressed me in Polish so that the first part of the interview would be generally in Polish. I would then switch us to English mostly because we were not alone in the room.

My husband was there too. His role seemed to be to give me guidance on how to conduct the interview and to critique it and bring it back if he felt it went off track. At first he seemed to confine his criticisms for in between interviews, but then he started interfering in interviews which I resented.

I remember there was at least one woman. She was not a native Polish speaker, but quite good. I remember she was tall with short blond hair. That's all I remember, other than that she was not a strong candidate for this position.

The final interview was with a young man who was quite confident and very good. We started in Polish. When we switched to English (due to my pointing out that we were not alone in the room and the interview needed to be understood by everyone), that's when the trouble started.

My first English question was why he wanted this job. My husband interjected that this was not a good question. The candidate defended me that i was the one running the interview not him. I told my husband that I resented this, and I would appreciate it if he did not undermine my authority with the candidates - although in actual dream sequence this came here, but I think I told him this once we were on our own again, whereas now the dream continued.

The young man said he wanted this job because he wanted to save the world from bugs. He produced a prop of a large robotic cockroach. I was impressed. None of the other candidates seemed to know this was what this job was about, in fact up to this moment I was not aware of it either. My next question was, why did he feel he was uniquely qualified for this job. While I do not remember the answer, I know it was good.

After the interview I told my husband that we have a different interviewing style but as long as I am running the show during the interview, he should not interfere. After his interference earlier, while he did not interfere verbally again, but his body language implied he was sulking.

Later I also had a false awakening in a hotel room, and there were mice going up and down a wall - a lot of mice. I tried to wake my husband, but he was too sleepy, so he missed the mice. I was disturbed about having mice there, but didn't know what to do about it.

Okay so this one wasn't too clear to me, but it still was a pretty interesting dream. It is also pretty short because i had this dream around 4:30 and woke up at 5:30. So I start off coming home from school or something, and I'm at my old house for some reason. I come inside to see my dog waiting in his cage as he does everyday, only like I said this is in my old house. This is the third dream in less than a week I've dreamed myself there for some reason. Any insight on that? Anyway, I come inside and I see my dog has absolutely covered his entire cage floor in shit! I scowl at the awful smell and scenery emanating from his cage. I guess I gotta clean that all up now...fuck that. I now disregard he's even there and go to my room. I also notice my lizard's cage is sat next to my dog's, and it is also filled with piles on piles of shit. I quickly go to my room where I wait for awhile. My Dad soon gets home and comes in to witness the terror within our pets' cage. In all of his rage, he punishes me by making me stand outside, where it has become very dark now. I'm standing out on the back patio, and everything about our old house isn't altered according to the dream, even the motion-detecting light on our garage was working. It was the only light I had to give me some vision at the given time. I now see a couple of bunnies hopping around my yard. For some reason I am somewhat frightened of them. I pretend to have my dog on a leash with me, and extend my arm out in a very pitiful attempt to scare them off. A buck now comes walking into my yard. I freak out even more and cower back in fear. The little buck walks up to me and he observes me closely. His parents now come walking out from the darkness and instruct their son to walk away. The buck prances away and his parents walk up to me. They both stand on either side of me, staring me straight in the face. I stay still in a petrified way. They then begin to lick my face as if in a friendly way. I'm being way too freaked out now, and I remember that loud noises will scare deer away. I now begin weakly yelling, almost as if I can't at all. The two deer start biting my face until I am suddenly awake in the bed of my old house. The bed and the room look different, something the dream finally distorted. I get out of bed and proceed back outside where it is still dark. Was it all a dream I was having? Outside, several of my friends and a couple of people I know from school are there just hanging out. Most notably is my friend Corey(you'll see why in a second here). I now realize that I'm clearly dreaming. I walk out into the yard and I begin flying into the air. I fly so high that I can see the constellations in space as well as space clouds(I forget the technical term for them). It looks absolutely beautiful. I take in the scenery for a moment as I contemplate what I will do now that I'm lucid. I recall the task of the month, and I struggle to remember them. I now remember the one where you have to turn into some type of wolf and devour someone. However, I forgot the specific wolf in the dream. I now rocket down into my yard and shapeshift into a wolf and rush at my friends. I know that's a little douchy, but they're all just my mind's depictions of them so fuck it. They all quickly go to move out of the way as I lunge out. The first person I catch is poor Corey. I tackle him to the grass and I begin to devour my poor friend. Strangely, he doesn't seem the least bit affected or in pain whatsoever. He seems to be enjoying it for some reason. Without questioning my subconscious any longer, I continue to eat him and we even have a small conversation. I don't recall any of the dialogue however. And even weirder, my friends return to what they were doing as if I wasn't even murdering my poor friend. I continue on my quest to eat him, and I've about finished his legs, but I awake before I can completely finish. I look at my phone which reads 5:29, one minute before my alarm is supposed to go off. And it ends up going off as I check the time.

1. I dream that I am in a grocery store, and that part of the grocery store is a bar. There's a girl in a cutoff shirt, or something. I pay for my groceries and park my cart outside the bar. The bar's very dark - the walls and floor have been painted black. I have a beer and buy a 6 pack of cider. When I return to the cart, someone has stolen half of my loaf of bread, and 6 eggs out of my egg carton. I complain to management and show them, and ask if they will reimburse me for the bread and eggs.

2. I dream I am in the attic of an old house. I've broken in. There's a lot of old stuff stored in here, some of it mine... how my stuff ended up in here, I don't know. Some friends and I have packed it into boxes. The attic is filling with water, and I'm moving through thigh deep water trying to sort through these boxes.

We hear people in the house below. I get worried that they will discover us, so I start trying to put the boxes away neatly so they don't realize that their attic is full of someone else's things. I'm also worried they'll notice the water pouring down from their ceiling, since it's draining but I don't know where it went. Another friend gets on a cot that's built against the wall and starts talking about how in his college dorm, it was so tiny that he had to pull his knees up any time someone opened the closet.

We decide the coast is clear and start handing boxes to someone on a ladder outside the door. From there, it's easy to go down the ladder and through a hole in the fence into my own yard. The boxes have some of the homeowners' stuff as well... I plan on selling it at a yard sale.

My house is an old white two story. It's about a hundred years old, and there's nothing particularly special about the house itself. The yard is full of trees; one is much older than the house, and towers above it. It is an old oak tree. My grandpa is there now, and he is talking about how everyone cuts down their trees, and everyone's yard looks the same, and it's bland and sterile. I look at the yards of the other houses on the street (somehow they are bland-looking mansions) and see that they are all treeless and perfectly manicured. I flop down on my side and roll down the hill, and my brother (who is suddenly there) does the same thing, while our mother walks behind us. When I look up the hill, the contrast between my yard and the rest of the yards is striking. The trees rise above my house, and their branches weave in and out of each other. My grandfather comments that having so many trees in the yard is pleasant and adds character to the house. I pat the perfectly mowed, perfectly green grass at the bottom of the hill and tell him that the rest of the neighborhood seems very sterile in comparison.

I wake up briefly and then go back to sleep, and the dream resumes, although it has lost some vividness.

I continue from the bottom of the hill into a neighborhood beyond the bottom of the hill. I walk along a sidewalk. It is bright and sunny outside, and probably June or July. There are some preteen girls standing in a yard, chatting, and a little boy in a red striped shirt on a big wheel. This neighborhood is also quite uniform - suburban America, at its most mediocre. The vividness is returning. I realize I am dreaming and try to push through into full lucidity, but the dream is still too thin and everything goes black, and I wake up.

So I had a lucid dream/out of body experience. It was pretty great. I remember I was going thru all this like war, against aliens on battleships like the size of aircraft carriers. Then out of nowhere I just knew it was a dream. So I stopped paying attention to the Dream, and said ok. I want to leave my body. And the Dream was gone and I was laying down in my body, and I felt the vibrations instantly. And a hugee switch. So I tried to roll out of my body and I think it worked cuz I remember rolling onto the floor and everything felt different but I could see everything, im alot closer now and im so happy c:

________________________
I started out in school, working on some sort of web page. I cannot remember the content, but I do remember the teacher coming over and telling me to fix somehting on it.

I looked around the class, observing everyone else that was working. I looked in my backpack, and dug out an album. Darkness came shortly after I closed my bag.
________________________
Suddenly I am in my room, leaning over my bag. I'm next to my closet, which houses my shelf.

I dig in my bag, and pull out the album I'd picked up earlier. The text was unreadable. I shelved it next to the others.

I pull out another one, which hapens to be two in one. One I recognized off the bat - it was an album I'd gotten a while ago. However, something wasn't right; the artwork wasn't correct, and the text was green, instead of the usual red.

There wasn't enough time to investigate - I was suddenly spiraling downward, into a new dream.
_______________________
I was in a house, much different from the one I live in now. I had in my hand a flier.

I open it up, and look inside. There were a multitude of pictures of beasts and monsters from different album art. Some were fighting others, some seemed to be wandering the black halls. I close it, and headed for a bedroom.

Finding one, I went inside, and sat myself down. Instantly, a low growl eminated inside the room. Terror seized me, and I froze up for a moment. In came a black entity, of which I cannot remember the shape.

I then woke up.

I am new so I kinda want to introduce a bit of dream history recapping. I remember a few dreams from my childhood which had a big impact on me.

Early childhood dreams
These dreams were always repetitive. Up on till I was about 8.
*~I remember I would go exploring I found this cave and it became a favorite place for me to visit every night. I met a fairy in this cave and she granted me 3 wishes. The first one was the ability to heal people, fly, and change into any animal. We had a lot of adventures together. After a while in waking life and I got older, I had a hard time locating the cave and kept getting lost . It was a beautiful cave. Had spot's on top that let sun rays shine threw and a pool of water with a hill in the middle where the fairy would be she was my best friend.~*

After time has passed in the waking life, I wonder how I would know about that stuff at that young of an age.

*~Another dream I once had, I would dream of being in our house and in this hallway bathroom I would feel an eerie feeling and then falling down our flight of stairs and having this rush feeling of speed then when I hit the bottom I would wake up and I would be sweating.~*

I later learned, that the previous owners wife died of a heart attack upstairs. Other detail she doesn't know much about. It was always repetitive the same exact way. Kinda freaky lol.

*~This dream isn't much of an impact really, but I could never forget it. I always want to help people and make them feel better. I was having a nightmare where I was surrounded but a bunch of monsters fighting and coming after me. I said "why can't we all get a long why do we have to fight," and some other words which I was yelling out from my heart. I saw this light come forth and brighten everything up. The monsters changed there hearts and became my best friends. We all had a tea party. I felt connected to them sorta.~*

From time to time I had a couple dreams with them again, they came to help me and another time I had an enemy trying to destroy me and my monster friends. There was a few of them left. I remember a dream we got together to remember the adventures and friends and then they moved on and said I wouldn't be able to see them again because I'm getting older and since then I never have

Other interesting dream occurrences
My spirit guide shows me my animal totem. Right now I'm an arctic fox.
so far I've been a dolphin, spider, snake, arctic fox. It's always so weird when he shows me and talks about it in the dream and hands it to me or I become one with it in a weird way. I do the re-search afterwards and that is how my life is currently described lol.

I met my spirit guide from time to time. He'll come to me when I need to learn something. I try to ask for him when I'm lucid dreaming or astral projecting, but it never works out that way. I love this dream I shared with him I will never forget it.

*~ I had a dream I was on a beach. there was water on both sides of me sand underneath my feet. I noticed that everything was purple. Different hues of purple. It was soooo beautiful I wish I could paint what I seen because describing it does no justice. There was a pyramid off in the distance. He said he wants me to keep trying to communicate with him and that he was proud how far I've come. There was a lot of other chatter about a past life thrown in there and other things that I needed to hear but I lost focus and woke up _* It was very emotional for me to have this dream.

When I meditate in the waking life. I meditate walking up a flight of stairs up to the top of a pyramid and there is a door to go threw and then I astral project. I usually have a fear of water in my dreams, the waves get bigger and bigger and then tear down stuff where I am at then take me out to sea. I felt so peaceful and love it was a different feeling than normally.

*~I had a dream that came true to the t. I dreamt about a friend I wasn't getting along with anymore. I was at school, walking out the doors into the courtyard and going to the soda machine to get a drink as I was coming back my friend accompanied by her 2 buddies came out the door and stopped me she wanted to apologize for being a bitch lately. In the dream I felt like something wasn't right about this, or like she was lying. I woke up after that.~*

The next day came in waking life. I went out the doors to the courtyard to get a drink and sure enough, everything exactly happened. Even the same clothes, the same drink, blue skies. It was no dejavu. I will never forget that.

That sums up most of them, my dreams are pretty scattered. Always in color. Lately I have been dreaming about photography. I will see a spot that would be a cool picture the odd thing is when I see that "opportunity" It is sooooooo vivid sharp crisp and colorful to bring tear of beauty to your eye. Then the rest of the dream is normal. I love it when I have photo dreams lol. I wish I really could take my camera into my dreams sometimes.

I used to have a lot of healing, telekinesis type dreams but had a dream that someone took it away and it's been hard to do it now.

I had a lot of dreams of getting shot, I would feel some kind of sting but it wouldn't hurt me. It would make me lucid enough for just a second to tell myself that this isn't real. I normally am protecting someone when this happens and feel a rush of energy in the dream when i would get shot and then the bad guy would be shocked to see it didn't hurt me lol. I'd be like hahahah go ahead shoot me right here lol. Maybe i'm just a little crazy.

Anyways, that's mostly it. I wake up a lot threw the night so I probably have a different dream to attempt to remember every time. I mostly dream about the day's event's in an interesting dreamlike format.

Eating a Green Apple Flavored Popsicle (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I don't know where in the world I had lucidity, but the experience was so real that it just felt really out of place compared to waking life. And this dream probably occurred after the one I had where I was inside of a room where I was probably doing jury duty or something.

I'm hanging around with some male child, and I believe I'm with one or two more individuals about my age or much older as well. It seems that we're preparing to go to an ice cream truck, and it definitely feels as if this dream initiated after the weird jury duty related dream.

It seems that we're at an area that is close to a forest that would be fairly difficult to traverse through, and although I didn't pay attention anything beyond my horizon for too long, it was clear things were a bit foggy. I was standing on dark brown dirt and could hear the small cackling, snapping, and grinding sounds of the surface as well.

Me and the 1-2 people along with the random child proceeded to the ice cream truck, and the person inside the vehicle immediately prepared ice-cold popsicles for us to have. I think it was for free as well, and we all ended up eating green apple flavored popsicles for some reason.

I don't know how I came to the conclusion that it was green apple since I could barely manage getting anything with my taste buds within this dream. Either it was a random association with something I heard on television with green apples helping with claustrophobia, or something else entirely. It seems I was quick to finish the Popsicle and probably managed to eat it all in maybe 3-5 bites.

I guess brain freeze is non-existent, and I guess if it were to occur in the dream, it would just be a psychosomatic experience. After that, recall of anything else after that is a bit blurry and too difficult to extend on.

Random Jury Duty (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Throughout the dream, I seemed to have went through random climbing with boxes and trying to reach edges of higher flooring that had 3 feet of space between us.

It felt like this area was fairly busy with random dream characters, and I managed to see one entity that looked like an individual I met at a wedding one time. She seemed to represent her waking life counterpart fairly well, and I recall she was looking up at me for a few seconds before going about her separate way.

The boxes I was climbing on top of seemed to be fairly heavy in order to actually stay solid and firm. They looked like regular office boxes with the base with a U-shaped edge loop on the two sides or something. After having constant struggling with trying to get to the higher edge flooring safely, I decided to call it quits and resorted to asking random dream characters.

I managed to encounter a dream character that looked like the boyfriend of the same female I mentioned above me. It's abbreviate him as "Rl." He was wearing a gray suit with a yellow dress shirt and a red and black striped tie going diagonally from the top right to bottom left along with gray dress pants. He has dark brown shoes as well, probably lace-less, but I didn't bother to pay attention to his feet for too long.

I asked him a question on where I could find a particular individual/room/event/etc., I can't really pinpoint my actual query unfortunately. He started to point in some directions and informed me I could start by going up the sloped floor that was about 30 feet away from us. I leave, but I'm not sure if I said thanks to him, and proceeded to go up the slope.

Seemed I had another fiasco with finding where the hell I was trying to get to in the first place. Seemed pretty futile asking questions for a place when all the dream character does is pointing you in one direction and not giving a detailed set of information. The overall environment for the dream was fairly bland with walls consisting of milk turquoise textured painting and regular gray floors.

After going around like a headless chicken, I miraculously found some area I felt I was "supposed" to arrive at. At this point, it felt like it was a jury duty in a regular high corporation office. I'm not sure when I was lucid, but the cluster of emotions ranging from anxiousness, feeling rushed, worried on the arrival for another dream character and such made me lucid at some point.

I wasn't fully aware of my body moving, I just seemed to shift my awareness towards the head focal region and just scanned the area. I was waiting for a certain dream character that presumably is a doctor of some sort. It seemed that they were arriving pretty late, and it seemed that they were most likely important for whatever event was occurring in here.

The room itself had a seating format where it would be a | _ | arrangement. Imagine that same format flipped over the Y-axis. Now imagine me on the left side sitting down looking down towards nothingness with the flooring desperately wondering if the random doctor dream character would show up.

Eventually, I see an individual in a white coat and presumed that was the doctor. I believe he was a Black male that looked oddly familiar to a character from the "Meet the Browns" television sitcom (or lame-com) that was one of the main characters and a doctor. He was holding a document in his hand, and it didn't seem like he had a lot of information contained in it other than a dark gray piece of paper in between the manila folder.

After that, I had a sigh of relief, though I never contemplated why in the world I would be relieved to know a random doctor showed up. Either way, whatever happen, if this was even a jury duty in the first place, happened.

I can't remember anything else after that.

Cheerleaders, Guards, and a Black Dachshund Licking Me (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Wow, I guess all those hours of militant image streaming training is starting to help tremendously with the dream recall and filling in the gaps that would've taken longer just to recall decently. I thought I wouldn't be able to devote so much time into recall this, but it seems my mind is connecting things at a faster rate, which is always good I guess.

It's getting easier to know when I'm lucid now, which is another bonus, but even though I did at least 20+ hours image streaming, I might have to push it more in the near future if I ever get as much time. Or maybe I can just go back one hour of image streaming a day instead of doing like 3 hours one day and 1 hour the next, and then nothing for a few months.


I'm outside with a group of people, one of which resembled one of my close relatives. It seems that there was some kind of rush built up throughout the dream, as if I wanted to start a raid that would descend into some short metaphorical adventure into exploring deeper into my mind.

I believe I'm wearing some type of milky cool colored dress shirt that was most likely blue or something of that nature along with a dark vanilla suit and dress pants. I also was wearing a light brown shoes with a yellow rubbery sole texture on the bottom as well.

The environment surrounding me was a mix of two High Schools that I used to go to. The ground itself consisted of a light gray color, but the sky above me seemed to have some sort of ambient lighting to it that made it look a bit more of a very milky and light violet color.

It was very spacious, and I there were all sorts of structures surrounding me that I didn't bother to absorb them into my perception in great detail. What was about 30-40 feet away from me was a building where the front had a series of glass blocks. There was double glass door with light gray metal bars for the door handle to push in, and the tint of the glasses consisted of a dark brown color.

The individual that accurately resembled a close relative of mine was wearing a simple black shirt along with Khaki-colored long pants that was a little baggy around the knee and ankle regions. He's wearing a pair of glasses and has a hairstyle that looks exactly like what my relative would conform to if he got a haircut.

The hairline makes an "M" shape that's more rounded and spread out which leaves a pretty large gap around his forehead. I forget what color the shoes he's wearing, but I'm presuming he's wearing something similar to mine.

I get closer and closer to the double glass doors and pushed them in an aggressive manner and I heard the clashing sounds of the small metal gears opening the door. The area inside was pretty dark, but in the dream setting, it seems it was early morning I believe.

It was easy to spot some backlight that was probably 100-200 feet away from my current position within this school building. The area I'm at looked like a cafeteria similar to what the two High school had the same model for.

It was very spacious, and continued to become more spacious the more I paid close attention to the environment with peripheral vision. There's some weird dark brown atmospheric overlay as well that adds on to the darkness in the middle of the cafeteria that was fairly empty.

In front of me were a group of females that looked as if they were practicing some choreographed moves for cheerleading or for some kind of dance squad. There were about two females that I was able to identify on the spot without actually having to pay attention to their visage in extreme detail.

The contours of their face had an immediate association to the ones I had some interaction with in waking life in the past. The first contour was one of a Black female that was probably around the age of 16-17, at least based on her body composition alone. I'll just label her as "Chels" for the sake of anonymity.

She had the same radiant personality she used to exhibit to others in general, and the second person that I recalled was a blonde female. Since her name is a bit shorter than the previous, I'll just label her as "Sarah."

She had the same hairstyle as her waking life counterpart, where most of her hair was bundled up into a ball. Then there were regions of her hair that were spread out and had a tangle, wavy, and spiraling effect at the bevels of the ball's curvature.

Other than those two, the rest seemed to have a very opaque composition, almost to the point of being pure silhouettes. It was almost as if they barely had life in them, and I wonder as I'm recalling this why I wouldn't be able to identify the other visages except for the two noticeable ones when I was probably a sophomore or junior in High School.

The cheerleaders or dance squad seemed to be performing very mechanically, almost to near perfection with synching, though this was all presumed based with a mix of peripheral and 360 vision that's fairly difficult to articulate properly into words.

I believe there's a series of light brown cardboard boxes that were flattened and spread out and most likely taped to the floor as some kind of cheap dancing pad for them to practice on. The floor itself consisted of a weird milky mix of light pink with a barely noticeable overlay of light milky violet as well.

The tiling for the floor consisted of maybe 3x3 inch squares that were separated with black lines that had a few inches depth to it as well, which adds on to how it matched perfectly with the sounds of footsteps and echoing as well.

Now, let's focus back to my perspective of being filled with a cluster of emotions in relation to adrenaline, passive-aggressiveness (somewhat), and just a few seconds from a monumental rage that would end off anticlimactically with submissiveness.

I asked the blonde female Sarah a general question in a fairly rushed and aggressive tonality on whether or not if I could proceed further into the building. She immediately shifts her awareness to me and makes a head motion for "No." I believe she was saying something after doing so, but by then, my emotional responses were so quick that I ended up drowning out my auditory awareness of her voice tremendously.

I was already in rage and started to scream abruptly which ended up with the room being in complete silence for a while. As I'm reaching the apex of the scream, the same relative I mentioned before seemed to have an expression that seemed intimidated or irritated slightly from the scream.

To the right of me at about 20-30 feet away from me would be a small set of stairs that would lead to a slightly higher flooring that would be maybe 3-4 feet tall. There were metal bars that were spaced out 6-10 feet wide and had a weird contour where the pole on the top region would go straight up, horizontal, diagonal to be parallel to the small set of stairs, and then downwards to the lower floor.

I make a power walk towards the stairs while sustaining the weird cluster of emotions, and then I noticed that my close relative started to get ahead of me. He proceeded to the top of the stairs and scanned left and right.

He seemed to have been paralyzed for a few seconds, and I wondered what was going on. He ended up turning to his right and trying to make a dash towards some area. Most likely the other set of double doors presuming this dream modeled the two High Schools to exact specifications in generalizations.

I could sense there were going to be a group of individuals where a huge column to my left was blocking me from visualizing. That column and the rest had the similar color of the tile flooring inside the building as well, and for some odd reason, my emotions shifted abruptly.

From the auditory awareness of a group of men yelling at the dream character that resembled my close relative, I decided to prepare for an immediate surrender. I probably even had a mental rendering within the dream of how it would turn out to be as well, which just added on to me promptly lowering my body slowly while having my hands up.

Sustaining the 360 vision while having my back facing the set of dream characters that would eventually find me, I paid attention to their details. They were fairly bland and dull for the visage aspect and had a default clothes setting of black shirt and black long pants. I believe there was a white font across their chests, but I can't recall what was stated specifically.

And as I'm continuing my descent to the floor, I'm finally down on my knees and end up lying down on my stomach. At this point, this is where things started to get really awkward. I have my hands placed on my back and the top of my rear waiting for the guards to do whatever they needed to do since we seemed to have been intruders.

But it doesn't seem they're coming in my direction, and were probably busy taking care of the relative of mine that probably escaped already. In the meantime while I'm still lying down on the floor, a random Black Dachshund dog appears on my right side.

I found myself in a fairly awkward position where I was worried that this dog would probably maul my entire face off or something. Fortunately, it seemed the dog had a liking for me and ended up just licking the right side of my ear and face occasionally while looking up.

I wanted to look up to see what it was looking at, but I was paying more attention in making sure the dog wouldn't do something random and change its demeanor from friendly to rip-your-face-off. I could feel the body head for the dog as well, and I could tell that out of all the dream characters within this dream, this dog had more lively nature to it.

It's almost as if I could feel its tail wagging and breathing to some extend compared to the lifeless and air-filled dream characters around me. After a while, I can't recall what happened next because things ended in a blur.

There was probably a dream shift where I was captured and in a different location, but that's all I remember unfortunately.

Machine Guns and Captured to Be A Slave (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I've been watching a lot of Nikita on Netflix apparently to get a dream related to it.

I'm inside of what seems to be an apartment, and it's fairly late at night within the dream. The flooring consists of a brown wooden color, and the walls are most likely dark gray.

I'm right behind a dream character that looks like Michael from the show "Nikita," and he seems to be on the alert of someone coming in. I move around a bit, feeling a bit anxious.

I realized I was dreaming at some point when I asked him a few questions on what I needed to do in this area. He told me that I should go ahead and hide and just keep myself safe.

He's holding a black silenced pistol and is staying in position while I find a place to hide. It doesn't seem like I any alternatives other than to just stay there and face whatever entity or group of entities coming in to invade the room we're in.

There's a door that's opened to the left of me, and I believe it leads to the kitchen. Michael comes in for a moment, and as he's going halfway through the door, the door he was patrolling 10-20 feet away from him opens.

He's caught by surprise and tries to aim his gun as soon as he can, but it seems the invader used the machine gun to quickly spray bullets at him. I immediately evade to the left and tried to glance at what the entity looked like.

He looked like Bitores Mendez from Resident Evil 4, and had the same outfit as well. Michael is pushed back to a wall, and simply lies down there. I didn't confirm if he was dead or not since I was already trying to save myself.

I quickly hide behind a door because that's my only option right now. I noticed I had a weapon on hand, but didn't pay attention to describe it well enough. I just presumed it was a pistol, and I made sure to slow down my breathing.

It seems the Mendez dream character disappeared, and a feminine figure is walking slowly towards the door I'm hiding behind. I get tensed up for a bit and prepared for confrontation.

The entity turns around immediately and I take a shot at her. It seems it was teenager in the age range of 16-18. Though her visage looked a little bit more cheekier and child-like. She had some kind of patched up braided hairstyle, but it wasn't the whole format of her hair.

She looked very familiar, like the sister from the "Everybody Hates Chris" television show. I thought I killed this dream character, but it seems she's just another invincible entity in my head. She takes a shot at me, and I expected to recieve some kind of reaction, but I'm not really feeling anything.

The dream starts getting a little hard to intrepret chronologically because one moment I feel like I'm being riddled with bullets from a machine gun, and the next I feel perfectly fine.

I take another shot at the girl, trying to see if she can at least fall down and faint or something. Doesn't seem to work, and she's a bit too close for comfort honestly. She says,

"We're going to take you to be our slave."

After that, it's hard to know what happened next. A probable reason is that during the inconsistent shifts before taking my last shot at the girl, I was questioning whether or not they were using tranquilizers.

I checked the suit I was wearing that had a milky butterscotch color mixed with dirty golden color and found bits on my wrist, arms, and my chest I believe.

And as I'm in shock that they're trying to tranquilize me, I look at my hands and things get even freakier. The perspective involves me looking at myself from the bottom-up that's zooming into my face.

I realized I was Nikita.

Apparently I or she's wearing a black vest along with black jeans and a belt. I couldn't make out what she wore for her feet, I just paid attention to my/her reaction until the dream scene shifts abruptly.

There's a quick fade out and a gradual fading into another scene. I can feel myself being chained, and decided to wait for the environment to become more vivid.

Eddie Falls Down (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm trying to go down a set of stairs floating above what seems to be a bottomless cosmic-like pit.

There's a person in front of me trying to hold onto any ledge, and ends up tripping and falling.

I scream as he's falling down and started to freak out while still trying to hold my balance. I keep going down the stairs

Female in the Men's Restroom (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I know this dream was long, but can't recall much.

Basically a black haired female was in the men's restroom, and I think she, me, and maybe two more people were a group that were trying to rendevoue at a certain location.

Sitting in Lunch and Comparing Electronic Devices (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had the intention to do a recording of using IamCoder's Halovision plugin for sleeping prior to a WBTB and then after a WBTB. However, since I'm not used to waking up so early after only attempting a WBTB a few weeks ago after months of just focusing solely on reality, wasn't able to get the motivation to move the laptop near the bed.

Made me realize how much sleep is more enjoyable when you stop making a habit where you would prefer to wake up as soon as you hit that tra

I'm in a school cafeteria, and based on how my senses were in the dream, the atmosphere or condition of the dream in general was fairly milky and blurry in some aspects. The tile flooring consisted of a milky violet color with black rubber or colored cement separating each square by maybe half and inch to an inch wide.

It was afternoon within the dream seeing how it was fairly sunny outside by looking through the glass windows. The seating arrangement in the cafeteria consisted of long light gray tables going horizontally in perspective of you looking at this text and light gray circular flat seats supported by a curved J shaped metal attached to the bottom railings of the table.

I noticed that I'm wearing an general outfit similar to a High School get-up I had horrible sense of fashion in. It was a maroon polo-like shirt with black jeans, joes, and a black wind jacket of some sort. I proceed to an empty seat where to the right was an individual that had a long-sleeved shirt under a gray shirt. Sitting down, I take out a random object out of my pocket, and I started having a small conversation with the dream character.

I noticed he was similar to someone in waking life that I used to know a little bit in High School, he had an enthusiastic demeanor. I held the electronic device and noticed it's similar to the Zune HD I had. I wasn't paying too much attention to it, just tilting it in a semi-circular motion and noticed the same dream character was listening to something on what seemed to be an iPod.

Wake Up! (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I felt someone's fingers touch one of my eyes to try and open it, and I hear a familiar voice.

I decide to pretend that I was sleeping, though it seems the dream character knew I was awake. She decides to say "Wake up!" in a casual tone, and I tilt my head and feigned usual sounds when a person is being bothered in their sleep.

I hear her footsteps trailing away from me, and I hear another female's voice. After things seem quiet, I open up my eyes and I was resting on a white sofa. Its composition was fairly flat and square-like and barely round on the edges. This environment feels very peculiar....too lazy to update on this...

Lady Spares my life (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Shooting people

Lady almost shoots me but spares my life. Oh, I'm so going to remember this one, hopefully.

• Mutant being with pulsating heart external from its body
• Metal Tank with Spiked Wheels grinding everything up except me
• Coming out with an injured arm
• Hiding from a female and her group of men that apparenty want to kill me
• I try to kill the men, but they just won't die
• Eventually get trapped and I'm held at gunpoint by the lady
• She smiles and walks off without shooting me
• I sit there still looking perplexed on what happened just now

Metal Tank of Death (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I believe I'm wearing a warm colored dress-shirt, maybe a milky yellow color that's tucked under a gray dress pants. I'm wearing a gray suit as well along with a brown belt with a silver or brass colored buckle in the middle.

My hair is shaved off, and I find myself in a dark area. I don't really pay attention to confirming if I'm dreaming or not, this is just one of those dreams where you decide to get absorbed into the adventure instead of destroying the environment and being confused on what to do next.

the floor consists of milky and faded yellow tile flooring, and there seems to be small hallways, almost built like a maze. I'd presume each hallway was about fifteen to twenty feet wide, and I find myself lurking around the corners.

I have a dark gray gun in my hand, and I can't really make out all the details because there's several yellow lights in random patterns on the ceiling. After walking a bit, I noticed there's a fairly large entity in front of me about twenty feet away.

It looks like a mutant, completely disfigured body composition, and I'm wondering just what it actually is. It seems to have a face, but this face looks like it has been mutilated, and it's hard getting its visage in good detail.

It consists of an dark apricot skin complexion that's stretchy and a bit flaccid in a few areas. It almost looks like it's dead, or just pretending to be dead. I noticed that it's heart was external from its body and was still beating.

The heart had a dark violet color, and was pulsating in a slow but strong frequency. Things shift and there's a metal tank with two cylinder shaped wheels going horizontally that have small spikes on them.

I make a run for it, and the machine grinds up the weird mutant body.

I can't remember what happened next because I wasn't expecting to get a lucid.

I got an iPhone....wait, just a lucid dream... (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was taking an hour nap from attempting 71 minutes of image streaming. I did 3 hours of it 2 days ago, and it's amazing how quick things come by in my mind lately.

I'm inside of a house similar to the one I'm currently in, and I go outside and go around the side yard and end up talking to two dream characters. I don't know what I was going to mention to them, and I end up being distracted by the mailman that comes by.

He's an elderly man, but seems to be in pretty peak condition for his age, and he gives me a brown box with my name on it. I go inside the house and open it up and realized I've been given a free iPhone!

Some dream character that looks like a relative of mine started to state that someone merely glued all those pieces together and managed to make the phone look like new. For some reason, this prompted me to realize once more that this is just a dream.

My enthusiasm was sapped, good bye imaginary iPhone!

Last ToTY done!!!!!!! I can't believe myself... I had my doubts in pulling off the last one

03.12.2013

The Legend of Zelda, Asking for a present and trampling over New York as King Kong. (MILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

A C C O M P L I S H E D!!!! Last ToTY and both ToTM December!!!

Sometimes I cannot believe my subconscious how it helps me! Dream Incubation works like a charm... pulled the Advanced II in a very easy way! And did some others too! Wohooo. Task of the Year done in less than a month an a half... just amazing.

I was in some weird house with people I did not know anything about. The house was very big, but even though from the inside looked like a house, it was an apartment. All the walls were gray, like made out of concrete without any painting. All the furniture looked kind of old and with a lot of dust. I was playing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess... And those of you have played, you know that Link transformed into a wolf in several events of the game... sure this was not an arctic wolf... just a weird type of wolf. I realized I was dreaming, because I did not know the place where I was at and because I beat that game years ago. I looked at my hands and they looked pretty big, plus the fact that my thumb was like a feet away from my Index finger, and my Index, was wavy. I stood up flinging away the ps3 controller but realized that I had half of one of the task done. I first visualized the game scenario to be around me instead of in the tv (did this in the past already, and if I am not mistaken, this was in other ToTM December, lol) I found myself into the game, but the game scenario changed, it was all full of snow, I could not even see a fragment of green on the trees. Link (either normal and wolf form) was gone, but the Twilight princess was still there, looking at me (for those who you do now know, she both rode link as a wolf and had something to transform him into a wolf if I recall well) I asked her to please transform me into an Artic Wolf, not the regular one. I heard her odd metallic laugh and she hit me with a stone until all I could see was the snow. My dream started to fade fast and I started to run, looking up in the sky, but I felt weird. I realized she successfully turned me into an artic wolf.

I saw a bush full of snow and I decided to hide inside of it, until I was completely camouflaged. I saw a weird looking orc (hey, it is still a pray...) with a wooden sword... I jumped on him and started biting him until it banished. It actually banished instead of just dying and/or living a body. Advanced II done.

I now wanted to go back home and keep working on the tasks, so I closed my eyes a few times (not during 10 seconds and neither wanted to try, that is an almost sure waking up... not for me) until I was back home, as a human, but I was confused and my dream faded.

I had a false awakening in bed, it looked like my bedroom, but I knew I was not in my house. Which helped me to turn lucid again. My wife was still in bed and I went to the living room. I started to look into some drawers for a cigar. I do not smoke cigars, but I felt I needed to do something with one, until I heard my wife moving out from bed and going to the bathroom. I recalled the basic task of asking for a gift. I ran to my wife and told her, "Can you give me a Christmas gift please?" She smiled at me and said, "Sure." She went to the living room and spawned a bag out of nowhere. She pulled three small alarm clocks. She said that those three were my gift. She smiled at me and said, "Look, it is 1:32 am" I knew in waking life it was much later, but whatever. I also sang a Christmas Carol. as I thought it was another of the basic tasks as well...

With both ToTM done, I focused on the last task of the Year. I was going to leave my house, and as I was leaving, my dream started to fade really quick to the point of almost awakening. I pulled off my best stabilization technique. Grabbing something from the Dream World and focusing on it. I grabbed onto the staircase handrail. It was metallic and very cold, lucky me! I started to see the dream again, until the dream quality went great again. As I exited the building, there was a doorman who said, "Sir, grab your free coffee!" I turned back and replied, "No need, I am sleeping." The doorman looked at me like if I was nuts. I took of for a small flight to make the dream quality increase.

I started to walk down the street and I was focusing on teleporting to New York. As I kept walking, I saw snow and turned right on a street and saw a ton of huge buildings. I was next to a random DC who apparently, was my friend. She said to me, "Look, the Empire State Building, and it is not destroyed!" It made sense to me in the moment and I grabbed it and started to climb it. I grew up in size like 10 times. My arms were as wide as the building itself, but I was still in human form. As I climbed the building, I started to roar and make monkey noises. After a while climbing, my arms started to become thick and hairy. Suddenly, my arms were covered in dark brown hair and so my entire body and kept transforming until I was an ape... and since I was giant, well, I was King Kong. I kept climbing until I reached the top. The very top of the Empire State Building was not bigger than my hand, and I started to roar even harder. There was a small speaker on the empire state building, and a very annoying intense alarm started to sound, it was like one of those apartment fire alarms. I heard the sound of jets around me and police cars on the street. I started to move one of my ape arms while the other one was holding onto the building. I knocked down a couple of jets and then, jumped from the building to the ground, smashing some cop cars. I was almost as big as the building and started to run, breaking other buildings around.

I started to run away from downtown until I was back to normal size again and (I believe) human again. I kept running and thinking what else I needed to do, but the dream started to fade even faster. I tried to save it, but I was feeling my body in bed and even hearing waking world noises until I woke up.

All I remember was I was sitting on the couch just mixing up drinks and tasting how they were( I even forgot how they tasted lol).
And then eventually the ritual started. I think it was a 3 day ritual where you do a day 1 ritual to start it off and a day 3 ritual to end the entire thing.
When it stated, I had this vision of how you were suppose to do it. I saw four people behind a person jumping in circles the entire time while the person in front sits on a bench or something.
It was really weird when I woke up and thought about it but in the dream, It seemed completely normal.
I think I gained a little bit of Lucidity this part of the dream. I jumped around in a circle once and looked around, everyone was gone. I somehow teleported to the bathroom and had 4 eggs in my hands. Lost the Lucidity.
I went back into the living room and did the ritual again. I teleported again. Did that a couple of times and woke up.

I was at a small ghetty with alot of friends from colombia and jws. I saw samir ready to leave and I asked him where you going he said ill be away from 30 mins and coming back and crash into my bed but in spanish. So I said wait for me but then I got interupted talking to some girls there singing a part of a song that was playing on the radio or speakers that was going like I only think you cute when I am high. Once I said that i remember I saw a girl that like lili a study merari brings to salon saying is that true and walked away which I didnt mind cuz i had like 4 girls around me at the time. I remember my mom coming in the party asking a whole mess of questions and not really getting a response from anybody because everyone was like at this after party or something I believe it was.

I was in my house in my bathroom with a bowl of cereal with all the stuff I put in it so then I started putting it im my hair and scrubbing the crap out of my scalpe for some reason. But then my hair started to turn red or orange type color in my head and hard to like if I was using gel or some thing. Once I did that I saw my hair in the mirror and it looked like dragon ball z super spiked up which looked awesome. I then went to my parents down the hallway to show then and my mom said it looks fine and woke up.

I'm invited to a fancy mansion that has a slightly off-kilter architecture, like from the game Fable. I get a bird's-eye view, and it has a brown roof and is shaped like an elongated turtle.

I'm on part of a mystery or side-quest -- I'm there to do something. I speak with the head of the house guards, who informs me the grounds are in lock down. I cannot leave the premises until the quest is complete. So I run around, talking to various haughty-looking guests to gather clues.

I end up in the garage, where I picked up a basketball that is a little bit deflated. I inflate it with a bike pump, and go outside (so much for the lockdown) where I'm suddenly at my old house in Canada, and I'm going to shoot hoops at my neighbor's driveway baskets.

I see my neighbors B, G, and F, who look like last I remembered nearly 20 years ago -- only, B (who is a couple grades older than me) looks like he's on steroids. F is hanging on the rim. I don't know how he got up there, but now he has a 8-feet drop, and he doesn't want to let go.

Somehow, other people start showing up. One of them is some teenage girl who claims to be Kobe Bryant's biggest fan (this is exceedingly awkward for those who don't know about his... um... history). She insists on retrying my shoelaces to the current style, which is basically wrapping the laces around the entire shoe like you would tie up a roast.

The game gets underway, but it devolves into a city-wide obstacle course, where you score by putting the ball through ANY basket you can find, provided you aren't checked or tackled while searching. It becomes very physical, and Dream Knowledge indicates people are getting injured regularly.

I go up against a knight in full plate armor -- at this point, I'm back in Fable universe, but still playing the "basketball" game -- and I'm trying to figure out a way past his armor with my starting-weapon stick.

I wake up.

Quantum radios
The first part of the dream involves something about a T intersecttion on impossibly long straight roads and a time machine.

Now I'm working with ??? trying to set up a quantum radio station. We have one component we need, but we can't find the transmitter. We know it looks like an orange, and we know the general area it's been hidden in, but we can't find it. Part of the problem is that it may not currently look like an orange; it could be disguised as anything. That being said, we're told it will always look out of place. ??? and I are going over and over the area where it could be, checking everything, picking up and feeling anything that gives the slightest impression of being out of place. We have a working receiver, but we can't use it to track down transmitters because each transmitter acts like four separate transmitters in different locations (because quantum). I keep coming back to one room with an open-backed bookshelf. Something about the bookshelf or the stuff on the bookshelf just seems off. I keep looking at everything, sometimes picking up everything. Another team already has their transmitter working there, so it's unlikely that my transmitter is nearby, but I keep coming back to it anyway. On the bookshelf I find things that are like my Powerball but not - they have a strange spiral/tornado thing inside which the ball moves around in. I take a couple of minutes away from looking for the transmitter to pick up and use one. The guy running the bookshelf transmitter picks up another one to demonstrate, but I already know how to use it and spin it up quickly.

My teammate reminds me that I had a "vision" of it when I looked into a mirror, that in my mind's eye I could see a pinkish/reddish ball. He assumes that's our transmitter, and we need to find that. There's another room we spend a lot of time in looking for the transmitter. It's at the end of the hall and looks like a store room. It's full of all kinds of junk, including a lot of food prep tools, also a lot of forks. While we're trying to find the transmitter, we're also getting content ready. Someone hails us as having really good, fair content.

Now we've finally got our station running, though it's not working right yet. We have to drive back and forth to the transmitter to tweak it and then check it. My wife is involved now and notices that according to the receiver, the transmitter is currently set to "liberal." She tells me I need to go fix that, NOW. I tell her that I'm sure that I left it set to conservative, that someone else must have messed with it, but I'll go take care of it.

Alien troublemakers
Dax and Bashir are eating at a table outside a restaurant. She's finishing her meal. He's still eating his hamburger when he's called away. Now I see Dax sitting by herself finishing his hamburger. She's making Mmmm Mmmm sounds like it's the best thing she's ever had. She's got two forks and is devouring everything on the plate, down to the lettuce and fried onions. Her coordination is poor and she ends up pushing things around more than she actually picks them up, but she's determined to finish it all. A couple of janitors are cleaning up near her table and she says "This is delicious! Do you want some?" The younger janitor says something like "Uhh, sure?". The older one leans forwards and quietly says "The correct answer is 'no.'" Dax is also embarrassed, since she now has no food to share.

Now two women are siting with her. A normal glass of wine is in front of Dax, and a small tumbler of wine is in front of one of the other women. While one woman (without any wine) distracts her, the other takes a tiny cup filled with something that looks like wine and puts a few drops in Dax' wine, then pours the rest into her own cup. She and Dax drink. Almost immediately, Dax notices that she's getting very tired and feeling kind of strange, but she doesn't have the presence of mind to fight it or call for help. She just makes some comment about having to go with them, but couldn't they at least change the name of the place to something less embarrassing?

Somehow related to the above, some kind of alien invasion is going on. A guy is somehow able to use his phone to jump into alternate / parallel realities to try to figure out how to fight the aliens. He's only got five jumps. The first two ended in his death. He's on his third jump now, and it looks like he's going to die here shortly.


Speed limit troubles
I'm driving around an area with lots of shops. My wife is in another car nearby. We both know the way home, so I speed up and go the flow of traffic; then I notice that I'm in a 35 doing 65. I try to slow down some, but I'm having a hard time going fast enough not to be dangerous but slow enough that I won't get a terrible ticket if I get pulled over. I keep hoping the speed limit will go up, but every sign is for 35. This is a 4/5 lane road with large shops on each side, so I don't understand why the speed limit is so low.

Dreamsigns:
Action: Ego
- Driving faster than my wife
Context: Situation
- Finding myself so far above the speed limit
- Trouble managing my speed
- Wrong speed limit


Thrifting
A small group of people is outside sitting in mismatched chairs. Our pastor is standing, talking. He's apologizing for mis-guessing how many members the church has, thinking it was just under three hundred when it's actually around two thousand. I start thinking about how to cull the membership list. At least for the email list, I can send an email with the subject prefixed with "ACTION REQUIRED" asking them to respond to me; I'll drop anyone who doesn't respond. Now I'm standing, looking around. Across the street, I see my wife's favorite thrift store.

Now we're in the thrift store. My eldest daughter ends up holding a tiny bronze bell and going off somewhere. I run into a lady from church, and she shows me what she found: some mega-packs of chap stick. She apologizes for not leaving me any, and since the store is having an "everything must go" sale, there are no more (at this point, it's no longer a thrift store, it's a Dollar Tree). Now I'm in a back area that's almost completely bare. My son and his cousin come out of the bathroom. The cousin has used a pen to draw a "tattoo" on my son's arm, which I'm not at all pleased about. I see the little bell my daughter was holding on the floor, and I'm not pleased; but then she comes by, still holding her bell, and I realize the one on the floor wasn't actually hers but is one that's exactly the same as what she has.

Dreamsigns:
Action: Character
- Pastor getting the church membership wrong
- Conversation about chapstick
- Son's tattoo
Context: Situation
- Encountering an acquaintance in a strange place
Awareness: Thoughts
- Confusion about the bell
