Third person view of me. I was in a train station. I saw myself come out of the train with another guy. An acquaintance? His face was unclear. Someone (a friend?) was being interrogated by an officer just outside the train. I asked 'What's going on, officer'? He said something about the friend, and I crossed my arms and faced my friend, asking 'What did you do [this time]?'

A map. Top-down view. A town. Various locations we passed by. There was a lake with monsters.

NOTE: I was partially aware that I was dreaming. In fact, I was interpreting the dream while watching it. I see it as a battle between my ego, superego and id. The officer is obviously the superego, id the erring friend (although I was unclear what he did wrong), and 'I' was the ego, trying to work between the two, but obviously downplaying the id's desires.

#209 - 4:57AM - DILD

I am chasing Erica with a van. Though I don't realize it, the dream looks a lot like inFamous. I am controlling the vehicle with my wedding ring. When I spin the ring up the van goes forward, down backward. When I tilt my ring toward my finger tip the van turns right, toward the knuckle it turns left. I maneuver through thick traffic and realize I am driving backward. I get the feeling that my wife and kids are actually in the van. I also see a radar on the bottom right corner of the screen with a red dot representing the location of Erica. When I turn the van the right way I see the she went through a pedestrian only sidewalk that leads under a bridge then the red dot vanishes. I run under the bridge and everything looks like the San Antonio River Walk with no people around.

I am now sitting in some house crying. I think that she took my son and I will never see him again. After some time I see my son crawl past me. I pick him up and hug him and feel a huge relief. I assume it wasn't my son she took but someone elses. I tell my daughters and wife that I don't know why I was crying and made some excuse about being tired. I felt too embarrassed to say what I was really thinking.

Then I have an FA at the Luling house. As I walk into the bathroom, the change of scenery gets me thinking. I look around and notice how different everything looks from my memory of the place. I suddenly realize this is a dream but I do several nose plugs to be sure.

Then, I am fooled by another FA still in the Luling house. I look at the clock and see it is after 6am. I say, "Oh well, I guess I'll just be late for work." I try to DJ my dream real fast with several devices but none of them will turn on. I realize this is a dream sign and become lucid again.

I fall back into SP and feel stuck in bed. I start spinning and find myself standing up. I feel trapped to the room but see my dad and brother talking. My brother is sitting in a recliner while my dad is standing in front of him giving a lecture. I don't really care what they are saying and I start thinking of a way to get the dream stable though it already is. For some reason I think that I am still in SP. I worry about what time it is and hope that I can wake up soon to see the clock.

As I wait, I begin pacing back and forth singing a song but I can't seem to get any lyrics right. Then I resort to beatboxing. My dad becomes annoyed and shouts something about my interrupting his conversation. I just ignore him and continue. As first, my beatboxing sounds just as crappy as walking life but after a moment I sound pretty legit. I spend a few minutes enjoying this before I suddenly wake up.

#208 - 3:43AM - DEILD

I have a dream that feels really long and I forgot the first part. I also wake with a feeling that I forgot a huge lucid segment. There are some strange kids that I don't know in my house and my younger daughter is Skyping on my Galaxy Player with some woman who I assume does a children's TV show. I help her record as she is talking to the woman about something I can't remember. When she is done, I find an option to save all the video. I think I will edit the parts where my face and voice got in it later.

I see my mom on the couch and I start to tell her about the lucid dream I had earlier. She interrupts me with some silly word or noise indicating that she doesn't want to hear it and thinking about the ending I decide maybe I should keep it to myself.

I walk into the kitchen and see some strange cooking device like a oversized toaster oven with something yummy inside. I can smell it and I begin to feel hungry. I turn around and walk back into the living room thinking about how I only had one lucid dream and feel really shocked that I didn't have another. Suddenly it dawns on me that I never woke up a second time. For a way to RC, I jump and take a swipe at the ceiling near the fan. The gravity is all wrong and I know I am dreaming. I wake up immediately.

I lay still and DEILD watching intense hypnagogia. I imagine being Spiderman and I get butterflies in my stomach as I swing.

I find myself sitting in my old Saturn parked at a jacked up angle in my ex-in-laws driveway. When I see thier van try to pull in and then have to park on the road, I say, "Shit." and quickly straighten the car up. The girls hope in and I glare at thier grandparents as I drive away. I remember my goal to turn into Spiderman and I ask the girls if they want to go downtown. I here then simultaneously yell, "Yeah!" and continue driving with the intent of arriving where the taller building are.

Suddenly, I am pulling into the driveway of my house and for some reason I just follow the motions of going inside while holding my son. We wonder around and I notice there is now an upstairs. We all go up there and there are duplicates of the bedrooms down stairs. As I walk around I really think this is all more hypnagogia and I hope the real dream starts soon. ( I was wrong here) Then, I think of the last Dr Who episode I watched and think this all must be a perception field. I decide we better get doing and head back down. As I do, I remember my Spiderman task once again. I say, "Hey, do ya'll want to be... um... Spiderpeople?" I hear another resounding, "Yeah!" and we make our way outside.

Instead of looking for tall buildings, I just start climbing up the walls of my porch. I remember the felling of that one LD I had and think of gravity shifting to where I want it. I crawl up the side and to the ceiling but halfway across I feel odd that I am upside down and I fall. Then, I jump up to the roof of the porch but struggle a bit to pull myself up. The only thing I have to shoot a web at is the gabble to the attic in front of me. I turn my palm up, pull my two middle fingers back and give a flick at my wrist. I literally feel something shoot out and see the web stick to the side of the house. Then, I hold on to it like a rope and swing a little but come back around to the side of the house landing way too hard.

Suddenly, I hear the alarm clock and think it's real. I sit up and see some construction worker or maintenance man doing something to my dresser. Instead of hitting snooze he turns the alarm off completely. I hear him mutter something to another man about how he gets tired of people yelling at him to hit the snooze button. I wake up.

Ended up sleeping a bit longer than expected today, but dreams were interesting, so... Also one location appeared in two different dreams.

Dream 1(fragments):

There was something about huge shop place, where shopkeepers were trying really hard to not let anyone leave, there was some section of the shop with trees and sections where one could buy whole rooms.

Dream 2(fragments):

There was some story about some characters in some city and i was switching between different perspectives through whole dream. The city got attacked by some mecha drones and characters discovered some powers, one of them got really super powerful but then he left the team in search for something. Then eventually team found a portal into some other dimension with the help of that super powerful character. They entered portal and now were in some rocky area with big mountain and a floating island, made mostly from orange-yellow rock, also there was some kind of base hidden in one of smaller mountains also and they found here two humanoid beings who were having problems, they had dark-blue organic exoskeleton-like armor and apparently could use some kind of super mode, and from this point story started focusing on them mostly. They were trying to find someone else, who was controlling drones, and they ended up getting attacked by some turrets, everyone went back through portal and then only those two beings went back in. They were using super mode and fighting multiple turrets that kept appearing all over the place, then one of them got wounded and they had to hide in cover.

Worth mentioning that i actually woken up here and then accidentally fallen back to sleep in 5 minutes or so.

Dream 3(fragments):

I was some other person in some house, there was something about getting drunk and searching for something, then talking to someone, then i found portal and entered dimension(which was exactly like previous dream), some voice started talking and i responded with something and then i got attacked by lots of turrets, i had to hide behind rocks and then retreat back through portal. Then i was back at house talking with someone else and some detective dude about something important.

WBTB at 1:30.

#207 - 2:25AM - DILD

I am trying to get to sleep but can't seem to. I look at the clock and see it is unplugged. I worry about the time and if I will be able to wake up in time for work. I pick up my galaxy player and try to set an alarm with that but I can't seem to focus my eyes to see. I feel so sleepy and drugged and I get up for a moment not knowing why. I see my son asleep in his exersaucer slumped over. I feel bad for him and put him in bed with me holding close enjoying the moment. For some reason my wife is not there and I am in the Luling house. I don't think it's odd.

I wake up to SP and try to transition multiple times but I can't see and feel wobbly and unbalanced. At some point I roll onto the floor and put my head down into the ground. I worry that I will have an OpheliaBlue experience there (Q&A2 podcast) so I quickly back out. I feel my way into the living room and start rubbing the floor and walls with my hands but nothing helps.

I try the old trick of swinging a sword hoping the visuals with catch up. After awhile of nothing happening I get bored and think since everything is just physical only I may as well have sex. Now I am standing in the bedroom and I see a woman come out of the bed room in the dark. At first I think it's someone from work but then I realize it's my wife. As we have raunchy wall sex my vision become clearer and the lights come on. Her face morphs several times into different women but each time I still think of her as the same person. (Past lives?) I almost end it when I realize the dream has become stable but we are both enjoying the moment so much that I fully indulge for a while.

Afterward, I go to the bathroom. I keep hearing a voice in my mind saying, "I can deal with it." I worry about the mess I may have caused but let it go. I pause at the mirror and see my reflection making faces and flexing muscles. I really look at my face and it seems to be very distorted with a huge Jay Leno chin (or maybe it was Quagmire... giggity) . I notice something in the mirror positioned behind me and to the right. It looks like a small TV with a picture on it. It looks like a scene from Skyrim and I become interested in teleporting into it. I worry that if I turn around the TV will be gone so I dive into the mirror reaching for the image on the TV. I find myself in a familiar kitchen in a house from a dream that I had a very long time ago. I am sprawled out on the counter top amongst dirty dishes. Just before I touch the TV it morphs into a black canister. For some reason I call it a coffee pot. I stare blankly at it confused and shocked this happened. I wake up.

[I have two dreams, but I just write down one. The second got me really depressed and I don't want to post about it here]

Disclaimer: The sequence you are about to read is slight sexual

A lot of people are around me. It's evening, everything seems nice and normal. Some friends are there also. We are standing outside of the Pub, drinking something. One of my friends keeps disappearing: at times he is there, sometimes he isn't been found anyway, then he is insides, then again outsides an so on. I get really confused about it. I try to talk to him but he isn't really listening. I make the decision to follow him a bit to see what's going on.

The scenery has changed completely. It's like I am in a park or something, just before the gates. They are open, I see a long road leading on a top of a hill. But that hill is so huge, it's nearly a mountain so high, that I just can see the road the first 10 meters.
Another friend of mine is here also. He seems to be drunk. He keeps on blabbering stuff. I try to listen but just a few words or fragments get past.

It seems to me he is talking about the friend I kept following. He said that he found a single girl who wanted to fuck him. He saw them going up the hill to find a good place. I am a bit confused as I didn't saw any girl.

I tried to recall and I suddenly had a (false) memory I wanted to check first. I got my smartphone and I looked on Facebook. I suddenly see that there was some kind of conversation between the girl and my friend, that they were meeting each other at the park. I looked up who was the girl and I saw that she was named "Marina".

Although the name was strange, I thought I've seen her before. I then recall (rightly) that I was introduced to her on a student party a month ago (and since I haven't seen her, i don't even have her as a friend on FB).

This made me some kind of angry. I felt angry about the fact both of them getting hooked up. They both don't know each other and she seemed really shy. Why what was going on around here.

The friend came from the hill. He asked us, why we are still here. We should get home and mind our own business.

My other friend thought of leaving, but I was still angry/confused. We started some kind of argument ending him leaving for the hill and I kicking a dog that appeared out of no where.

Then the scenery changes again. I am in my apartment once again. it's dark inside, there are no lights on. I hear noise coming from one of the rooms. I heard two people fucking.

I wanted to go to the toilet, which is next to the room where the loud noises came off. I didn't want to pass the door, so I went back to my room.

For some reason I knew that it was "Marina" and my friend. This makes me angry again.

Then I think about it. I sit on my bed, still in the dark room. I realized that this was MY apartment, so why are both of them HERE? I got even more angry. I wanted to do something but my conscious shifted once again.

I was laying in my bed. I still thought of both. And then it hit me.

This was a dream.

I did an RC to verify.

It told me I was awake.

Yup, you here right. I was awake. I have evidence of it: I wrote down some sentences in my scribble pad that I'm using now to write the dream completely down.
It was like having a False Awakening, but totally backwards.

[Today was the first day of school and I was more nervous than I normally am last night. It was very difficult to go to sleep and I kept waking up.]

1) The straightener was making my hair fall out. When I was done with it I set it on the bathroom counter and seen quite a lot of my hair stuck in it.



2) I realize that I'm dreaming and I suddenly become so excited. I walk around a bit, trying to calm myself down.

3rd person. A wealthy household full of various factions is gathered by a very old tree to discuss their leader's potential divorce, and how they can use it to their advantage. But I wind up focusing on a group that's ignoring the family politics and telling a story about this old tree, something like a fairy tale or a ghost story. Two children were transformed by the ashes of a witch's bones. One transformed into the image of the witch herself, the other transformed into something monstrous and deformed, vaguely donkey-like, and this allowed them to 'walk in strange places.' On certain nights a parade of witches (both men and women) passes by this tree, and disguised with the witch's ashes, those children joined the parade.

1st person. For political reasons, something to do with an organized crime group, I was briefly married to Julia, an extremely influential businesswoman and vampire. Now I've just about gotten things with that crime group settled and there's no real reason for us to keep up the sham marriage, and I'm surprised how conflicted I am about that. I'd gotten used to life as her husband far too easily. I'm thinking about how up until now I've been dealing with a 'tame' vampire, not the real deal. I'm looking over my shares in her businesses and thinking about selling. It'd be enough for me to live on for the rest of my life, if I do leave.

i was in some mall with bibiana and we were shopping and i kept picking out stuff that she loved. i saw a white skirt that i really liked and she said to get it. bibiana suddenly switched over to someone else, it was my soul mate, some guy with dark hair and a face i've never seen before but i knew we were going to be together forever and i felt safe with him.

we walked out of the mall and i noticed that i didn't pay for the skirt. i was hoping he didn't care- he didn't care and told me that i should take it because ppl give more money to the clothing company than they ever spent.

we went to some university and i tried to finish some assignment that required a clean white piece of paper. i looked for seemingly hours and finally realized that this was a dumb assignment and i was over it. i decided to go. i sensed that this was a revolutionary move and the professor and people that worked at the dictator-like university would be enraged.

my soulmate and i rushed out of there. i was holding a pipe with a packed bowl, and for some reason i wanted to protect it so i ran with it in my hands. it was almost as if it was my mission to keep it safe. as we ran, we passed cages were there were all these young adults trapped and moaning and yelling. we knew we would join their ranks if we got caught by the school. but my mother was who i was running from. she was part of the evil side. she called me repeatedly and yelled at me to get back to the prison school.

at one point we reached a huge body of water, and i had to let the pipe go underwater. we eventually reached my car and i threw the pipe and stuff in my glove compartment. later in the dream my mom captured me, and she made me give up my backpack. at first i was worried bc if there was a pipe in their i would be done for- a sense of impending doom surrounded the dream. i remembered that i left my pipe in my car. i kicked and screamed in an effort not to go to the prison and be in a cage. i yelled at my mom some nasty things and also to my brother, who was in the car.

the imagery in this dream was absolutely powerful. the cages with black bars and the desperate looks on the prisoners faces, the look on the professor's face when he reprimanded me, the feeling of undoubted security with my soul mate, the emotion behind my screams at my mother and brother. wading through the water in panic, i felt the adrenaline as true as any reality.

the whole dream is set in a dark , after sunset foreboding lighting with clouds overhead.

I had been hiding out for a while in a nearby house, but now I was ready for it. I walked out, and through the front gate of the big bad's main camp. I felt invincible, like I couldn't be killed. I simply walked into the camp, loudly yelling to taunt my foes. However, the camp seemed abandoned. A bit further, a road led out of the base again. A nazi approached, and I shot him with an MP-40 smg. Two more arrived in a jeep, though they were invisible. Their jeep wasn't, though; so I fired an entire mag at it, killing both enemies.

We were standing next to some kind of “pool”, that had machinery of sorts in it. Claire was underwater, and I could hear her struggle and drown. Knowing the girl I loved was dying, I yelled her name in agony. I’m not sure I was there myself – it was as if I was watching a movie. I watched a guy (blonde guy, very well-toned) ditch his clothes and jump in the water. He dived down, pushing some junk out of his way, until I could see Claire’s long blonde hair jammed between two metal plates. Claire was being crushed between two parts of a machine herself. He managed to free her, and carried her out of the water. Her face was full of blood, and she appeared unconscious. I was afraid she had already died. He got her out of the water, and saved her life. For a moment, I felt insecure because I doubted I could have pulled it off. I doubted I would even dare to try. Some lettering appeared on a wall, a title of a “cracked.com” article: “4 reasons why you wouldn’t have done a thing”.

In the next scene, four heroes were discussing something (in a doorway)? Claire was one of them, in a tight (and sexy) superhero-like outfit. She looked fully recovered, as if nothing had happened to her.

In another scene, someone cast an illusion that made the other heroes look like green-faced monsters to every one of them. They immediately started fighting each other. I think I managed to split them up and stop fighting.

I'm just standing in the kitchen faced the window, my sister is in the living room sitting on the recliner watching the television, when suddenly my mom appears beside me, she looks like she's trying to hide something, I joke around with her an nudge her but when I do she groans and says something is stuck in her throat, I roll my eyes thinking she is over exaggerating like usual or it's just a piece of ice that will melt as usual. But she continues to complain in panic so I begin to panic and take her seriously, she opens her mouth and tells my sister to look who by now has walked over to see why my mom was wigging. My sister says it's a tongue piercing, and then my mom walks over to the sink with a nervous caught smile. I ask her why the fuck she got her tongue pierced, and she wouldn't tell me. Then she realizes it's her tongue, it's swollen so she takes the barbell out of her tongue, and walks away to fake do something, I later tell her she'd better put the barbell back in if she doesn't want the hole to shut, she panics at this revelation and starts unscrewing the jewelry to put it in, I tell her to put the unthreaded one in so it won't irritate her fresh wound but she ignores my instruction, and I can tell she is having difficulties getting the jewelry in, she pushes on it very hard and I hear a loud pop noise, and she makes a loud cry of pain but continues, I examine what the noise was and realize she has a knife trying to assist her and that at first I thought she cut off a bit of her neck, but I realize she chopped off her whole ear. I yell to that she's chopped her entire ear off, she drops what she was doing and all three of us begin to panic, I yell to my sister to get some ice as I am getting small plastic bags, then my mom chopped both her pointers fingers off for no fucking reason as though oh well she already lost her ear, so I'm trying to put enough ice in three bags to put her ear and fingers in so we can take them to a hospital, but the ice keeps melting, especially in the ear bag, now they're rushing me and waiting at the door but I feel compelled to get every last bit of ice out of the freezer, and I do then we run out side, but I run back to my room real quick to grab proper pants so I don't go in lounge pants, and I'm just as annoyed as they that I am wasting time, but I finally run to the car and we drive down the main road of our city and I tell her that we should go to that dinky hospital that is just a little ways from here and that if they don't have the resources I'm sure an ambulance can take her to the big hospital that's city away, and suddenly my mom starts to drive in a dirt field to cut off a corner, and I hope there's no cops, but as we near the other street I see a cop but they didn't see us, then I see another cop and she too didn't see us, and then multiple cops drive by and we somehow avoid them all until the last cop swerves onto our side of the street and crashes into us head on.

Date: 6th Aug

Pre bed: gingko, 1 capsule p. oil (200mg)

Total sleep time: 9 hrs

Natural wakes: 2?, I was way too sleepy to do a proper WBTB and actually attempted to convince myself to forget about lucidity and just sleep.

Dream quality and recall: due to my extra sleepiness, I didn't care too much about recalling, and I'd say recall for the ld was more challenging as it was quite long and also interrupted two times.

Dream length: It felt very long and at the end of the dream I started forgetting some details.

Pre ld dream: I am in grandma and auntie's place with 3 friends and we are preparing to go to grandma and auntie's? I am very slow packing, as I can't find my hair brush. There are lots of hair brushes around the place but none of them is mine. I go to the bathroom and look in the mirror, I have just dyed my hair but don't like the hairstyle. I focus on my teeth. One tooth looks very wrong and not like a tooth at all. I get some pasta/tortellini out of my mouth and into the sink, turn the water on and hope it disappears before my friends come to check on me.

DILD: The earliest event that I remember is that we, maybe 3 of us, are being chased by these guys riding horses. Therefore, we have to flee. The narrator of the dream (or my mind) says something about one of them having to cross a bridge. While this happens, I cross the bridge. Interestingly, it is more like a street covered in water going to yard-like greenery.

So, I cross this watery bridge and end up in a section with water and lots of green grass and trees all around me. The problem is there is something that is preventing you from normally moving there, there are desert type of mice, very small but dangerous. I think this is where I become lucid, but since I am very sleepy, my thinking is not at its best, so I go along with the dream. The mice look cute, but keep on biting me and I have nowhere to go. As I stand there, slightly desperate that I am stuck in this place, I remember that I can modify the dream and escape the water/bitting mice trap. I simply turn to my other side and see where I can go.

There are strange ropes arranged into I have no idea what. Other DCs are using them to get out of there and safely cross (possibly over the water). The ropes look too thin to be able to carry our weight (yes, my brain is very asleep), but I still go balancing on these strange ropes, and also there are wooden beams below them on which we walk while holding to the ropes. As I do that, I notice small insects on the beams below, but they are mostly ladybugs and other harmless ones.

My memory is really bad, I know there were two blackouts, but I can't remember at what point the one occurred.

I am in the middle of the hill with the greenery and my initial goal is to move away from the biting mice, but then I just want to go down the hill. The sight gets more beautiful as I see a fantastic beach with clear green water at the end.

If I am not mistaken, I try flying to speed things up, but after ascending a bit, I quickly land in some sporadic water that appears along the way. As I do so, my body submerges in the water, I try swimming but have a void-like moment and as I emerge above the water my sight disappears. No! It's totally black around me, but maybe because it was so unexpected I can still feel the dream around me. I think that I am blind like Xanous, and remember to just relax and wait. I hear a woman talking next to me, so I concentrate on her voice and hold on to it. I may have said something to her as well. Soon the dream comes back and my sight returns, things are back to normal.

I am now inside a small house on the same hill and this DC woman is with me. I look around but the only thing I remember is some sort of pillow with the name of bf's high school on it. Then I examine the DC woman, maybe in her late forties or early fifties, with short ginger hair and brown eyes. I say something to her and look her in the eyes, expecting an answer. As I do that, she freezes in place, and her eyes are like those of a scared pray animal. I think that I don't want to cause any more distress so I let go of her and just leave her be. She then animates again and with expectations I make her laugh, so she laughs. All good. If she wants she can come with me down the hill. But I am so concentrated on the landscape, I forget about her.

I see brief glimpses of the beach, and then more trees and greenery, but at least I know it's there and am very close now. I continue my way down the hill and reach a part where it is very high, but I am almost there as I see the shifting beach/houses/yards. Here a habit from my non-lds comes in very handy. I see lots of trees in front of me, so I just hold on to a branch, and move forward with it. My desire to reach my destination makes those branches swing way beyond what they are supposed to and there is always another branch waiting for me to get on to. Swinging from one branch to another, some of which extremely fragile and with flowers on them, I make it down to the beach.

Somewhere along the way, I remember the advanced TOTM which I didn't plan of doing, but may as well try. I briefly think that this dream has been going on for quite a while and I am already starting to forget it. I look to the beach in front of me, but now instead of the yellow sand and light green water, the sand is grey and the water is dark. I try to change the color of the sand, but it remains grey. I notice how violently the waves crash and the water moves. Never seen anything like this and I have no intention of going in and trying to turn into a shark under these conditions. So, I decide to wait until things improve, and find a spot on the beach where by the way the sand is turning more yellowish. I lie on the sand and think about how I am going to turn into a shark and then maybe go in the water. I try to feel my fins and my shark body (kind of big and bloated) but the dream ends.

Comment: Now that I think about it, the location was also very good for Angel Falls or China...

None of my dreams last night were particularly interesting.

In one, I kept running away from some type of organisation. I had a former classmate with me (I despise most people from my high school and she's not an exception) and I had to keep helping her... we were underground, like a huge, tunnel city. Two mobs coming from both ways, running away from... stuff (who knows what?) and the girl would just be standing there, crying and being generally useless. I had to carry her around, lie for her whenever someone stopped us and drag her all the time. What a pain in the ass.

In another dream, I was on this avenue that shows up somewhat regularly in my dreams. Not too often, but once a month or so. I was thinking that I could take classes somewhere and still have time to go to the uni where I do study. I was doing all the math ("if I leave at 9:40, I can definitely be there by 10AM") and then I was waiting for the bus. Then I was looking for my car so that I could drive to the bus. Cause that makes sense, yes.

As I said... nothing interesting.

non lucid
*I was hanging out with amy kim telling her about how I got offered to be on a japanese television show. She showed no interested at all and walked off. I found my self trying to impress them for some reason. She was also doing home work and I thought she is doing that in front of us to feel important.

*I was at studio movie grill. I notice a friend from my old job walking in with his girlfriend.
