I remember a hen and the country. Maybe a few trees, too.

I am on some wagon train that has like gypsies and stuff on it. I jump out and onto the green grass. I am dreaming. I look around and see a bunch of houses. I have been wanting to set up a house in the dream world, this should be fun. I stop at a house I want near a forest and start switching the trees into logs and building a gazebo and a picnic table. My family comes along and decides to help me, especially since I suck at making things and carrying things inside the house and making nice chairs. After about 45 minutes, an old man comes to the house and starts telling me that it is his house. I wave him away and tell him to go get pizza and pop for the people that helped me move. He obliges and I start changing around the trees to a formation that I like that compliments the house. The old man got back after 15 minutes of being gone, pizza and mountain dew. I grab a mountain dew and start chugging. I get back to the backyard and notice that my gazebo, picnic table and trees have been turned into rocks. I get angry and leave. I find a club as the sun sets and get inside. There are people dancing and loud music like normal. I wake up.

DEILD.

I am outside the club, apparently my mind is keeping this dream pretty persistent. I look and see a McDonald's down the street. I start walking and all of the sudden I notice another McDonald's right next to me. I walk into it and order a bunch of stuff. They give two donuts and I toss it back at them, they give me a couple burgers and I eat them quickly. I walk down the street and Dream Character watch. Way more fun than people watching.

DEILD again.



I am in a building and walking near the edge. I see a weird figure that is near the ledge, it looks similar to Cell and as I get closer it looks more and more like him. He looked down at the street and jumped. I took off and hit him mid air. He flew back and out of sight. I flew towards him and grabbed his arm and through him away. He isn't using any powers. He probably will if I start thinking about it more and know he will do it soon. I fly faster than I ever have and drop a huge kick on his head. He flies into the ground and I land next to the hole. I look over it and I hear him scream something. I jump back and energy bolts shoot up out of the hole. I fly towards the hole and grab him as he flies out. I run us into a building and push him into the ceiling, planning on flying outside, but the ceiling won't budge. I do this like 7 times and wake up.

Wake up RC look around. Close my eyes and see my sink. I move my hands (imagine moving my hands) and see them, stabilize (imagine stabilizing). I walk out to my living room and can feel my eyes messing up. I open them and close them. Then I try to teleport, knowing that I might wake up, but the dream is unstable, so it is worth it. nothing happens, but I have to pee. I pee and wake up, I don't have to pee when I wake up and instead of just DEILDing, I check to make sure that nothing happened like normal, but as I fall back asleep, I start to feel like peeing again and can't sleep. I get up and pee and then can't fall asleep till work.

I had a lucid dream a few nights ago that still disturbs me, but I do not know why. It was perhaps the deepest lucid dreaming I have ever experienced. In my dream, I felt as though I was not dreaming at all and it was a reality. That being said, I was aware that I was lucid dreaming but everything was very real. I could see things, hear things, and feel things the way that you can not in a normal dream. I also encountered other people in a way that you cannot in a normal dream. I believe that I met other lucid dreamers on this occasion as well. Specifically, two blonde teenage girls wearing bohemian style clothing, who were aware that this was my first encounter with other lucid dreamers. There were other people present, but I cannot recall what they looked like and whether or not they were other lucid dreamers. I was talking to this group of people when a tall black man who looked of Nigerian descent appeared. It is still unclear to me whether he was another dreamer or a different entity entirely. I tried researching this, to see if others had seen him as well, and I came across one shared experience that sounded alike but it was very vague so I cannot be sure if this was the same person/entity. The other person described him as "aggressive" and said that they felt he was trying to take something from them. I had the same feeling. I remember the other girls had seen him in their own dreams, and they told me I should try leave. I tried to wake myself up but instead only entered other states of lucid dreaming, until I FINALLY was able to wake myself up some time later. I am new to the site and do not know if people can post comments on this, but if so, has anyone seen this same person/entity? Or is one of the girls I met on this site? You would probably remember me due to the nature of the dream.

DJ entry: (non-lucid)
Me and my 'friends' (I can't recall who they were, just that they were friends) were into doing tricks on trampolines in this situation, and we were practicing on some home-setup ones. Something caused me to want to start a fire, so I did so in a trashcan because I recall my family doing the same thing before (IRL I have not). I accidentally put the burning trashcan in the middle of the trampoline as my friends were jumping, however, it did not fall over. I removed it and placed it to the side of the trampoline. My dad appeared and put out the fire with a skateboarding-filming camera setup (GL2/MK2 for the film geeks) which could apparently spray water like a hose. He told me that it was a new trashcan. I was shocked because I thought it was the regular burning trashcan, and sincerely apologized and offered to buy him a new one, but he said it was fine and didn't seem angry at all.

Bad parking
I'm in the van, on the phone, driving in a dirt (maybe gravel) parking lot. It's completely full - I can't see anywhere to park. Eventually, I just stop the van behind a couple of other cars, then get out and start walking away. I get honked at, but I figure I'll just be a couple of minutes, so it's OK.

Now I'm inside. Lots of people are walking around. I worry about leaving the kids in the car, but I figure this won't take long, so they'll be OK. Now I'm on the driveway leading to the parking lot. I'm carrying a long orange extension cord, and some other people are with me.


Costco frozen pizza
I'm at Costco with my wife, near the food court. It's closing time, so they're lowering the entrance gate to stop anyone new from coming in. A young woman is doing it, but she's having trouble. She's trying to jump up to catch the door, but it's too high for her. Her shirt is coming untucked. She finally manages it.

Now we're in line for the food court's last call. Someone says that it's just not cost effective to leave the ovens on after this since they draw so much power. My wife wants a slice of pizza, and I decide to have one too: a slice of pepperoni instead of my usual combo.

Now we're ordering. She orders two slices of "frozen pizza." I don't know why she mentioned "frozen" - Costco's pizzas are freshly made. Now the food court lady has our pizzas, and they're still frozen. She takes a small butane torch and starts waving it across the pizzas to warm them up and give them a fresh-from-the-oven look. Initially, I'm skeptical, but I have to admit it seems to be working. That being said, it takes a while, so it's no time saver; and it's hard to get right. I see no advantage to it.

Now I have the pizzas and the torch, and I'm still using it on the pizzas. I'm worried about getting it right, but my wife isn't concerned.

Monday 10.7.13

Last night I went to bed at 11pm. That seems to be a sweet-spot for my good recall. I also had water before bed and when I woke up first time. But didn't remember the dream when I woke up at night.

My cat decided she wants to snuggle with me all night. When I was laying on my left side, she snuggled there, when I turned to the other, she stepped on me to get to the other side. I couldn't move without worrying about me rolling over her, se each time I wanted to change position, I completely woke up, sat up, looked where she is and tried to find a comfy position in a small space she allocated to me.
I guess that's why I got a DILD. And also why I felt vibrations again, after a long time, when not WILDing.

I didn't remember dreams at night, but did remember them in the morning. Didn't write them down, instead, re-told them with words each time I woke up in the morning. Now I remember 3 long, although not so detailed dreams.

DR 1 - I'm walking down a street with 1-2 others. Houses are villige type, single family, with yards between them. Someone said there was a monster chasing them. I look back to the end of the street and a black shape is starting to emerge. I say "oh, that's just a T-Rex".

We duck into one house. It's rather long with lots of rooms in single row. We are looking out the windows, but being careful, so they don't see us.

Somehow I'm holding a cat in my arms and there is a Nazi someone there as well. Now we are outside and I'm about to be kidnapped by this Nazi.

DR 2 - Im in my home town. Showing our garage to some friends from US, because they didn't see one like this yet. I'm telling them they should get some posters of the country, before going back home.

DR 3 + DILD I'm at my grammas house. She is shooting at a paper target on her wall with a smallish BB gun. (watched Anthony B. episode with him shooting guns) She points out a pretty bird outside a window. Size of a phasant. She wants my little brother to see it. But he can't, until the bird moves.

Now there is a large wolf about to get the bird. They are just watching, letting the nature do it's thing. But I take her gun and go outside to shoot the wolf. I shoot a few times, with no effect. I shoot him point blank, and nothing. I'm standing now at arms length to the wolf. He is growling and showing his teeth. I'm a little bit scared, but not enough to leave.

Now I'm inside again and there are lots of family members there. I look at my toes and start counting them. 1...2...3...4...5...6! Omg, I tell myself, how come I didn't notice this before. I'm a POLYDACTYL! But I think I say PTERODACTYL and I realize, that's how that dinosaurus got it's name. I also remember that some cats are like that.

I count again and not there is 10 of them, and there would be even more, if I kept on counting. I realize I'm dreaming. I walk outside and start flying. My dad comes out and jokingly tells me to come back. But I feel he is serious and if I was any lower, he would pull me down and I'm a bit scared.

I'm above some low trees now and I remember, that last time I was not able to fly fast. So I try a few techniques a remember reading about. I do the superman, and also I put my legs and arms together. Doesn't work. I wake up soon after.

[Dream Fragment]
I was explaining to someone how my contraption worked. It was a box that used a series of mirrors to display a bunch of different pictures in one place.

Dreaming within a dream and failing to visit the Colosseum. (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was with a group of people in a big room. It seems that we were in some sort of meeting group in order to lucid dream. But we were actually got together to be able to sleep. The room was big, but it had no furniture, and we would bring our own matresses. All the DC except my wife were make up here.

They turned off the lights and then we started to focus on lucid dreaming and we went to sleep.

I was with my wife in a very tiny airport and we got inside a plane. It was very dark and the plane was very wide. I was surprised because no flight attendant was there to greet us and the curtains were closed. I was wondering what was going on until a flight attendant came out, welcomed us and directed us to our seats.

While I was waiting for the plane to take off, I did not see many people and the lights were very dark (Since i was a kid, I traveled by plane hundreds of times) and not the usual stuff that happens in a plane was occurring. I started to think, "What the heck is up with this plane? What is going on?" I realized I was dreaming right away, as the plane was too dark and it was very odd the way things were happening, so I walked away from my sit and exited the plane. I went through the room that connected the plane and I left outside.

I was in the middle of nowhere and it was very sunny. There were no buildings around and I told to my self, "When I turn in the next street, I will teleport to the Colosseum to fight a Gladiator for the task of the year. As I turned the corner I was able to hear the screams and excitements of the people, but the dream vanished.

I was back at the room with other oneironauts, and I was a bit upset I did not finish the dream, oh well, failed task, I will soon induce another lucid dream.

I had various attempts, but as I was falling asleep and felt a dream forming, I would open my eyes and "wake up" from the dream. At some point, I could not sleep so I took a walk around the building. I could see all the people around me sleeping.

I was outside like at some sort of shopping mall, but I did not feel like it and went back to the room. It was hard to find the actual room, as there were many more rooms and the aisles were very dark.

As I went back to the room when I finally found it, someone else was sleeping in my mattress, so I just sat in another random mattress and then got comfortable to sleep again, but the leader of the meetup group told us it was time to wake up.

I realized this meeting group made no sense and that I was dreaming still and I just had a dream within a dream. As I left the room, I was setting the intent to find the Colosseum as I left the shopping mall.

My wife (real waking wife) woke me up as it was time to wake up.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

Dream 1(fragment):

Something about weapon collection.

Dream 2(fragments):

I wake up and i feel that i am dreaming, i get up from bed straight into quadruped stance and go for balcony. It's closed, i attempt to phase through door but curtain gets in the way and dream destabilizes.

I try to DEILD but lose awareness.

Dream 3:

I wake up and get distracted by family watching something on monitor, but i also get the feeling of dreaming, i look outside and there's big red building, so definitely dreaming. I go to balcony, or rather, the exit because it's apparently first floor somehow, and now i am outside. There are a lot of green trees and a road with a bunch of parked cars. As i explore around i see one car driving around, but without a driver, haha. Shortly dream fades out.
I wake up still feeling dream, i go to balcony, which is open again and on proper floor now and take off using my wings. It's night and i fly rather high, i notice a faint transparent blue rectangle frame on the ground in the distance, i fly towards but suddenly i am back in the room again before i can reach it, then dream fades out again.
I wake up and family member calls me, then i wake up again.

I was at a house with Daryl, Jane and Tim. Daryl had a trailer connected to his car, which was parked in the backyard.

We must have done something wrong, because Jane wasn't too happy with either Daryl or both of us. Daryl moved his car in another spot and I said to him that your Mum may not me happy with you doing that.

I could see Jane in the distance, through a window. I think she may have been washing the dishes.

Daryl wanted to do a good deed, and built a fence. We started building the fence near the shed, which was only about knee high. Jane came back, she didn't seem to happy with what was going on.

Dream Fragment 1:
An ugly girl with a big forehead was sitting on Elton Johns lap, while he was playing piano. The girl was over singing the song. Elton looked different. He had a skinnier face and a red face. When the girl was singing he gave her a look of WTF! You're butchering this song. The girl mentioned later, that she lost the plot a little when singing.

Elton John

Dream Fragment 2:
I could see some big brother contestants, but could only remember Jasmin. I was sizing her up and imagining what she would be like to sleep with. I thought she was younger then she is, 19-20.

Jasmin - Big Brother

A fairly disappointing night but I had three hours good "walkabout" yesterday so I know that makes me sleep deeper at the moment.

3.05 AM
An obscure kind of "thinking" dream where I seemed to be composing phrases (all of which are gone) Only the words "turbine hall" remain.

5.20 AM
At the house of someone who was vaguely "family" (DS) (like dreams often seem to make them) I wonder if that's a sign of my lack of visualisation. (Ed doesn't have clear pictures of my relatives on his mantel-shelf) This family had no tools and I was trying to do a job on top of a very high lorry (apparently only using very weedy tools like little multi-headed screwdrivers)

A large vehicle approached alongside, then recklessly reversed, endangering one of "our young children"??? I flew into a rage (DS - emotion) and I harangued the driver. He seemed very sheepish and I heard him say that this finished his day off nicely (he didn't think)

80.00 AM
Investigating the murder(DS=violence) of a woman in a caravan (except I sensed she wasn't dead...just sleeping (DS)) A DC (a kind of "Carry On" female (DS) detective) warned about possible bad smells and advised that I put a handkerchief to my nose and mouth.

Much more like a dream sequence were the two guys I met on the banks of the Thames yesterday. I was searching for pottery shards etc (the lower reaches of the Thames were London's waste-dumping grounds for many decades) These guys were actively looking for certain valuable pieces One waffled on a bit (like DCs do) and he must have heard me remark to the other other guy that I was trying to "up" my awareness and I mentioned dreams (I sometimes put out feelers, to see if people know about lucidity)

The other guy laughed and said that his "waffling" comrade wouldn't want to know about this because they had both recently had troublesome dreams. The "waffler" hung back and I talked to the interesting guy as we trawled the beach. He'd apparently been spontaneously lucid (although he didn't seem to know anything about LD) He reckoned that his family interpreted his dreams about an old women as the ghost of someone who had died in their house.

Lucky bastard. There am I, trying for fitness and awareness and he's LDing with one hand tied behind his back. I looked back along the deserted beach, towards the lone figure way in the distance and there definitely seemed something dreamlike about the whole thing. I didn't RC ( my aching legs and back told me that this was reality)

Well, at least I'm getting fitter...one out of two isn't that bad.

I'm in a car with someone and we were on out way back to the house that I was at previously. I told the driver that the house was in fact, my cousins house. They driver offered me to go in to the house considering I was related. I was here to pick up a cat. I was walking towards the house, then it dawned on me, this wasn't my cousins house at all. I knew by noticing the surroundings didn't match up. Someone opened the door to greet me, I think I knew her. As I walked in, I noticed Gemma P on the couch. The house had a very strong scent to it. I saw the cat sitting on top of a cabinet. It looked like a doll, and it's color was black and white, which looked like fabric. I began to second guess on if I should buy this cat, as I didn't really like the look of it. Gemma explained that those type of cats sit around quite a lot, and have known problems when they get adopted. I could now see text in my vision of what Gemma was saying.

Dream fragment:
IGA Peanuts in a bag.

I've decided not to write down my dreams from last night. I had two dogs, one was Jimmy, the dog I do have in real life, the other was called Finn. Finn had cancer and was dying. This is obviously related to the next Glee episode, which will be a tribute to Cory Monteith, the actor who played Finn Hudson, and died a few months ago. I woke up feeling absolutely terrible, especially since Finn, the dog, was sleeping on me and that's how he died. I could feel his weight (it was my pillow in real life), so yeah, not writing down the whole thing. Too upsetting.

DJ Log: May 4, 2013 – 5:30AM (USA Eastern)
• NON-DREAM • NOTES • DREAM • LUCID •

I bought a camera and some lenses on eBay. A very brief moment after paying for the items, the postal delivery driver knocks on my door and hands me a box. When I open the box, there are several layers of tape on the camera box inside. There is no lens cap on the camera and there is a bunch of dirt caked inside the lens. I was kind of mad. I opened another item from the box and it was used also. Everything was supposed to be new.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was playing some video game about spaceships.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was at home, which apparently was on some huge wooden ship thing, the temperature was rather unstable at times as i was checking outside. At one point i was searching for something at land and there was a group that was bullying people so i had a little talk with them, telling them "to stop or else", and then went back to ship.

Dream 3(fragments):

I was playing and discussing some multiplayer space game with someone and we were trying to figure out about allied races.
