I'm witty right?
Strange how my REM worked last night. Got to bed around midnight and woke up at 4 am. I drank a bottle of water before bed, which sometimes isn't enough to get me up before my alarm. Not sure why 4 am... Usually I'm on 1.5 hour intervals. Who cares though? I got lucid.
I stayed up for 75 minutes, until 5:15 working on my new LD guide :http://www.dreamviews.com/attaining-...technique.html
I went to bed using the mantra, "I notice details and become aware"
I had one dream and was not lucid and when I went into the next one I knew I was dreaming. I used no RC, but I also did not exercise great control over my dream. It just seemed natural. I noticed the brick in my room had grains. I was surprised to see such great detail in a dream. I was able to leave my room and change the scene a little bit and encounter my girlfriend by deciding where she would show up. It was good. I still feel I wasn't completely aware though, I used an RC and it worked, but I was not very sharp.. hard to explain

Meeting Kiin
I'm somewhere with a woman. We see a tall, wide man - somehow I know his name is written Caya?e, or somesuch. I think nothing of him. The woman runs up to him and hugs him and calls him Hunky Kay which is straight from Elantris, though I didn't realize it at the time. I realize his name is actually Kiin (pronounced Kai-ai-an), and I'm confused about the spelling I saw earlier, since it started with the Kai-ai sound, but it didn't end in an N.

Somehow I end up getting a bearhug from Kiin too; my face ends up somewhere in the middle of his chest. While I'm caught in the bearhug, I'm trying to unlock my tablet. Somehow I'm typing behind his back, but the password is coming up cleartext. I quickly erase it so he can't see it.


Clothes shopping
I'm in a department store, shopping for shoes. A sales lady is trying to sell me a "whole new look," but I'm not interested. I'm still trying to look at the shoes, but I don't like any of them. She finally agrees to show me some that are more like the sneakers I'm wearing, but what she comes out with is very strange - like a sneaker with the laces and tongue removed. Since the shoes she was trying to sell me earlier went well with the "new look," I finally agree to try on the clothes and shoes together. They're dressier than what I usually wear (she's given me slacks and a long-sleeved, colored button-down shirt), but they look good on me. She also hands me a color-coordinated pocket protector. I realize that with clothes like these, I need something less like sneakers and more like dress shoes.

I'm aware of something happening nearby at a black ops lab; it has something to do with a melt-down, a plumber, and a locksmith.

Now I'm comforting the saleslady, telling her it'll be OK.


Tower defense
[COLOR="#FF8C00"]I'm playing a tower defense game. I've just discovered wizard units that automatically cast freeze on anything that comes in range, and I decide these are my new favorite units. I do well for a while, but eventually I start to get overrun. I'm trying to pinch to zoom out, but it's responding really, really slowly - a single pinch barely changes the screen, and I have to do it over and over.


Impersonating the Dalai Lama
I'm traveling with some guy. For some reason, he's dressed me up as the Dalai Lama. We get out of a taxi near our hotel, and I see I have a couple of large suit cases that I really don't feel like lugging with me. My companion says "Oh, if ONLY there were SOMEONE to help the DALAI LAMA with his LUGGAGE," and suddenly we're swarmed by helpful people who would love to carry the luggage.


China's coastline
I'm on a boat, traveling along the coast of China. It only takes a few minutes to travel from one end to the other. At each end, I can clearly see the countries it borders, since each country is a different solid color (just like on a map).


Making pizza
I'm at my pastor's house, making pizza for him. It's time to take the pizza out of the oven, but I can only find one pot holder. I see that one of his daughters has the other one. I wait for her to finish using it, then take it and use the pair to get the pizza out. For some reason, I'm having a lot of trouble dealing with the pizza pan, and I'm really concerned I'm going to burn myself.


Fragment
I'm calling my credit card company to dispute a charge.

I am in a Jehovahs Witness convention with alot of my girls vaguely remember the beginning of the dream but I do get some recall hearing my moms voice saying some thing like are you ready already like if we were still in the hotel room. Then afterwards I am chilling with this girl I dont remember seeing her face but shes taking my somewhere I remember she told me to get ready and I was procrastinating to get ready because the place we were going to which I eventually found out was a meditation home wasnt open yet. So I told her to relax but then I remember she starts pulling over in the car which was a two seater I believe and I was happy I was hanging out with her. We were talking for quite sometime but no idea what then after pulling over the side of the road she all of a sudden takes off and we end up in front of this house that isnt to modern or old but has a classy look to it. I walk in there are like 2 people to my left in a bed room waiting to start with there legs crossed sitting down and I see 2 others on my right which one is a guru I believe and another is another student. I sit down in the middle of the four everyone is facing the door. The kid to my right now after I sit down is black and hands me a paper that I was suppose to read but unable to like I had to decipher a code or something but the letters were all messed up. I believe when I finished with the meditation sessions I became lucid when I looked at my hands and saw that I was dreaming I didnt perform any reality checks I just knew it because of my surroundings was being in like a city. Once I gain lucidity I saw a traffic jam to my right hand side of me and I really like driving cars in my dreams so then I saw the best one which was a white mint dodge camero and no one was in the drivers seat and I got in and saw this other big guy who was white with a blue watch who had a hat on with sunglasses just kind of went along with me getting in the car and driving off. After getting in I remember we were in traffic but I was like yea right this is my dream bitch this doesnt exist here so I speed up traffic and took the car to like 55 miles an hour in like 3 seconds I saw all the other cars speed up tremendously to. I get this call from this guy about picking up something like a car or rims for a car I believe and I have to go to this store that I remembered kinda looked Bjs once I go inside and start rolling around in a chair with while and taking off lil by lil since I was enjoying the dreamscape and once again the guy calls me and says dude sorry I called the store and they said they didnt deliver the whatever he wanted me to pick up. I not going to lie I think I cursed him out or got really angry but I dropped those feelings as fast as I could and went to go see if I could go get my car back. Once I start rolling around in my chair I look at clothing signs in the store I remember seeing one that said "something hubble" and then turned around and it said some thing completely different like "horse something" I was able to capture boths words I was sliding a bit fast. While in the store I was hearing a favorite old school song of mine "only the lonely" which has a cool beat to it. After that I remembered my mission was to talk to my spirit guide and I asked this one random security guard women that looked asian and she told me "no honey im not your spirit guide" then I went to a glass counter and rolled around and asked these two kinda decent looking chicks saying "are you my spirit guide" and one of them that looked like a girl in my high school that made an impression on me who I use to see in the gym said "yes I am your spirit guide" but I heard that you have to question them like 3 times and they have to respond yes to all 3 but I asked 4 just in case cause you dont mess around with that kind of stuff but she didnt actually say yes she nodded and said uhuh the other 2 times I asked so I was really suspicious about that and then for some reason I started flirting with my spirit guide and I guess she woke me up and got pissed with me im not sure but I want to know if your spirit guide has to respond with a yes or a nod is enough.

*I watched people eat at this indian dinner very quietly and peacefully. Some chick made a comment about my IQ and I went off on her saying let's prove my IQ is bigger then yours!

*I talked with someone wears a jewish it shirt outside of a bar. They said these would be a sai baba event of some sort. Then we walked into a store with lots of hot women and one that I knew. I greeted her and told her I missed her. Then I went to go take a pee.
I toilet usual and had pee all over it.

I'm viewing this dream partially from outside. I don't have a role in the dream, it is as if I'm a ghost looking into someone else's life.

The dream revolves around this one special truck, that has a compartment inside of it so big, the owner had turned it into a bedroom.

Anyway, later on a fat guy with tattoos and brown curly hair comes by and wants to just take the truck after he had taken a look at it. Now, the truck was parked outside of a house in what appeared to be the middle of some desert. The owner of the house was apparently also the owner of the truck and he wouldn't allow for.the truck to just be taken away.

Mr. tattoo still wanted it and agreed to fight the owner for it. After this a lot of stuff happened which I can't remember so well.

At some point I'm myself and I'm standing on I think the second floor of cinema with my sister, about to witness the fight between the two guys. On one floor lower the family and friends of the house owner have assembled and as some sort of ritual he throws shotglasses at them before fighting.

My memory of the dream stops here.

There is not much I remember from this dream. I do recall that I'm at the supermarket with my mom and sister and we're standing in between the checkout station and the exit.

A man, appearing to be a homeless guy judging by his outfit at overall appearance, almost walks out with a shopping cart. I walk up to him and explain that he can put the cart back and reclaim the money he put in it to get the cart. He says he would like to get all of his money out, but that it's jammed and you need a 50 cents coin to remove it, which he doesn't have.

I do have one and help him get his 50 cents back. As I remove the coin, I notice there is also a 50 euro bill in there and also remove that for him.

My memory of the dream stops here.

So, I'm at this theme park with my dad and we're somewhere at the back of the park, where there are a series of small hedges, parallel to each other, lined up in front of us. They all have a small hole in the middle, just big enough to crawl through, so me and my dad crawl through them until we reach the end, which is simply somewhere outside of the theme park. I say to him that It's ridiculous to make something like that, because everyone can get in the theme park this way without paying.

Regardless, we walk on into an area with quite some trees and a lot of vacation houses and my dad warned me to be careful, because small landslides had been occurring here lately. I tell him I won't fall prey to a landslide like others because I have studied this phenomenon in engineering school. He smiles and we continue walking.

After this point my memory of the dream stops.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/nap.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was talking to K on steam and he posted some IP address and said something along line "Come over, units knocks over, and we have most amazing party"

Dream 2(fragments):

I was on IRC and somebody was shouting something about dragons.

Dream 1(fragments):

There was some kind of preparation for a fight, everyone was searching for weapons.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was on some kind of minecraft server, which was full of 1 block wide towers and bunch of buildings, i was flying around using my wings and checking out stuff.

Dream 3(fragments):

I was browsing dreamviews and there was some weird politic dude asking questions to everyone and he knew people's names and stuff, then i was looking through some thread about series of video games about monsters, which was very old.

Dream 4(fragments):

I was watching anime about some agents in sky city place, they conflicted with someone and then gathered team and everyone went on against the place's government.

Dream 5(fragments):

I was playing some 2D platformer game and there were some very troll traps that were very well hidden and one that got caught had to redo like whole game. I've found way around them and game suddenly turned into spiral knights and there was a place with two types of throwable orbs. Red ones outright killed players and blue ones resurrected them, one of players managed to get whole party down with one of them.

Dream 6(fragment):

I was in some forest place.

This one's a tad confusing as I'm not sure if I was fully dreaming it all or if I was half awake.

I was lying in bed, my mind feeling sluggish, and suddenly became aware of a presence beside me. I turned my head and saw a figure standing beside my bed, though I was unable to move my head to see more than the mid-torso. It was a man dressed in white and I'm sure he was wearing a tie, though I cannot remember the colour.

I waved my hand at him in a shooing motion. "No, no, go away! Go away!" I cried.

It was at this point that I suddenly jolted upright and woke up to find my heart was racing and I suddenly craved some form of light in my dark bedroom. I'm reasonably sure I actually said the whole 'go away' part aloud and actually moved my hand too, which is why I wonder if I was half awake for this.

It's like I've been dropped in to the dream.
I'm stood on a old timely dock with a small black remote like thing in my hand, there's a lot of people on the dock but they're all walking very stiffly in all directions but with no purpose.
Then I'm running and using the remote thing to zap these stiff moving people, I hit one in with head with the zapper and as it hits the floor it's face pops off and below is a robot. Later Ive some how found people I know and we're all running but only one other person has a zapper, we find a house, that has very small doors, which is good because it would seem the robot people can't bend enough to get through the doors. We're hiding inside when they break in through the windows. So we run out through the back door zapping the robot people as we go my friend with the zapper to the front the two girls in the middle and me to the back. We're back on the dock briefly, but it's eerily empty and we find another place to hide, which is actually the same house as the first one we found. my friend charges his zapper while I do a check, when I see someone I used to know, but he has completely black eyes, which means he's one of them so I run around to the front of the house but the others have seen him and are telling me to get him in when I shout hide he's one of them, but he's already seen them and gets in and grabs one of the girls.

12:45
I was a rich male teen. It was my birthday and my best friend and I broke into a cake shop because my businessman dad was too busy and my mom too much on a diet to giver a proper cake. When the police arrived, they discovered that someone else had already broken into the store as well, and something way more serious was going on further in. I couldn't really see what, but I knew it looked serious and I had to persuade the police that we had nothing to do with it. At first they did not want to believe me, but then one of them recognized me as the son of one of the most important citizens in our town and somehow that meant he believed me. When I whined that I had not even yet had my cake, the police let me have some, though I was still under arrest for breaking in. It was chocolate cake with lots of icing.

5:30
In this dream I had a younger brother and we were both minors still. The authorities became interested because they somehow found out that my mom and stepfather would at times leave me or my brother alone for the night. They called me. I explained I was 16 so not an issue, but my brother was only 12, and I thought that was an issue, plus it was not like he and I were left together, but he was left all alone out of some reason. Anyway, I made the case worse by mentioning something else the authorities may want to know about my stepfather - don't recall what it was for sure but it may have been that they also sometimes leave their dog alone over night while they stay in the other house with the cat and my brother. Meanwhile I was with my father. LClearly this dream was supposed to take place soon after my parents divorce and thus I was angry with my mother and her new husband.

In fact I was still so angry I had not yet visited either of their new homes. In this dream they had two. I decided to correct that. So we arrived late at this old mansion.

In the mansion there was this cat in the bed I was going to sleep in. I discovered that when it meowed, I could actually make up the words in the meows. So the cat could talk, but others could not understand, only me. Somehow, I managed to reroute my stepfather's cellphone, so that when the phone rang, the cat started talking in the voice of my stepfather's brother, so the cat became the cellphone. My stepfather talked through the cat phone with his brother.

Later that night around 3:00 am or 3:30am my stepfather's brother actually showed up. He looked nothing like he looks in real life, but was a much younger, much slimmer, much handsomer, dark haired man. He asked my mother why she was holding a glass of wine, was there a party? My mom said that no, she was just having a glass of wine just because, and would he like to join her in some wine. He claimed that he was a recovering alcoholic though, and my mother should have known that. She said then why did you ask about the wine. He said he was hoping there was a party here, that he would have liked a party.

In a later scene I admitted to my stepfather that I had spoken on the phone with the authorities about the leaving alone of my brother and also of the dog, but somehow I managed to explain it in such a way as if the authorities somehow knew already, and I did not tell them of it first, so like I had not ratted on them. Btw, my brother was not with us at the house that night. Perhaps he was alone in the other house with the dog?

In the first dream I was flying some sort of space craft (probably an X-Wing or something as I was flying in a trench in the Death Star) I was trying of course to get a torpedo shot into the exhaust port, however just as I was about to get there one of those purple mines that are in Bosconain mysteriously blocked my path. I tried shooting it out of the way, but it did nothing and my ship crashed into it and went BOOM!
However, I seemed perfectly fine, as I was now inside of the Death star somehow completely unharmed. (I seem to go through a lot of injuries / death in my dreams, but always be perfectly fine) Anyways, then I was running around and found this random generator thing that I simply punched with my fist and the Death Star was toast.

This dream seemed to go on for a very long time, years almost. The first thing I remember is that there was this enormous wall that was decaying, and it seems like I had been in this zombie-infested earth for quite some time. It appeared that I was part of the survivors who had managed to patch together this huge wall between them and the zombies. However, I kept having all of these flashbacks / foreshadows about the zombies eventually breaking through and very many close calls in terms of my escape.

Eventually the dream shifted, and it seemed as if I had been there for years. Now the weird thing is... the wall had decayed completely at this point and there was nothing standing between normal man and flesh-eating zombie, other than some rebar and little concrete chunks from a wall long gone. It was as if the zombies had their own society and were just living in a state of super-poverty and deparation, while we watched on the other side, not much better. The best way to describe it is like the monsters in I Am Legend near the end, where they reach an understanding with the humans and go on to live in some sort of weird primal-instinct society. Anyways, this is what the dream became and it was very interesting. Who knows, maybe it will become a sequel to a great zombie movie.

Lucid #157: True Faith

I'm standing outside on a stone path at the top of a hill. There's an elegant white gazebo nearby and a few people milling about. I think to question my reality and I know that I'm dreaming.

I remember that I wanted to try remaining completely calm and collected in my next LD. I sit down on the floor and rest my hands in my lap like I'm going to meditate. I try to relax my mind and just believe that I have all the time in the world.

As I'm sitting, I look around me, taking in the sun and sky, the calmness of the day, the DCs passing nearby... everything about the scene. I announce that "This is my lucid dream." One of the nearby DCs, a young woman, hears me and stops, seemingly curious. She takes a couple of steps toward me and stands there, listening to hear what I might say next.

I get to my feet and start talking about lucid dreaming to the broader crowd. I really go after it, announcing things like "All of this is my lucid dream" and "Whatever I believe will come true". I start getting whipped into a bit of a frenzy, throwing in several f-words, and saying things like "Say it with me now!!"

There's a good-sized crowd of DCs right in there, maybe 20 people or so, all cheering along with me. When I shout something like "I can do anything!" they all shout in agreement. (Couldn't we all use this kind of validation in waking life?)

"Do you know what's behind me? The fucking Colosseum, that's what's behind me!" I look behind me and the geometry becomes weird for a moment and I have to make a strange 270-degree turn rather than a 180. As I do, it looks like the outside of a huge stone structure like the Colosseum. I'm filled with excitement and I hear DCs babbling encouragement to me.

For some reason things destabilize, though, and the dream ends without any opportunity to pick up from the void.

Lucid #156: Split

I'm somewhere hazy, talking with IR, a friend from high school. She tells me that she feels like her physical fitness is stagnating and that she's getting old. I'm preparing to disagree when I suddenly become confused and worry that this will be misunderstood and taken as a flirtation. My brain feels stuck in slow motion, and when I wonder why, I realize that I'm dreaming.

IR is gone, and now I'm walking through a darkened hallway. I step through a door into an office with two desks in it. To my left is a window offering a nighttime view of the city. A woman, professional-looking and in her late 30s, walks toward me from the opposite end of the office.

As I prepare to tell her that this is all a dream, the scene "rewinds" a few seconds, and now I'm walking through the door again, and just as before, the woman is at the opposite end of the room. I walk toward her as before, and again the scene resets, placing me back at the door.

Confusion is starting to get the best of me, so from the door I blurt to her (and to me) "I'm having a lucid dream!" She approaches and we exchange a few sentences related to a project that I'm working on, but I can't remember what was said. (I didn't write this dream down until several hours later.)

The scene starts hazing out as she's talking to me, so I move toward her and start kissing her. This seems to keep things on an even keel for a bit, but as things take a shift toward sexytime, it quits working and I wind up in the void.

I rub my hands together for a while, holding things together. My brain feels very foggy and I'm aware that I'm having real trouble thinking clearly in this dream. I just keep rubbing my hands together, hoping that the answer will come to me, but eventually I find myself aware of my physical body.

The amazing part is that when I concentrate, I realize that I can still feel the experience of my dream hands rubbing together. I start getting mixed up about which set of hands is real and which is fake. Sensing the opportunity to "roll out" of the situation and have an OBE-style lucid dream, I try to imagine myself pulling away from my body. It feels like it's working, but the dream takes one last lurch toward instability and collapses.
