Date: 5th Aug

Total sleep time: 7 hrs<

Pre bed: Calcium&Magn, 100mg B6

Natural wakes: 6x, vivid dreams after each, lazy to record, also mislaid notebook

Early dream(+3 hrs?): a memory of a lucid, where I didn't do anything in particular? We were gathered on street around a fountain/pillar?

Dream: An emotional personal dream with a rather unpleasant outcome. Sadness and anger.

Dream: Sitting on the table of a local cafe. My high school classmates smoke cigarette after cigarette. I am thinking about that, blowing out clean air in front of me.

Dream: A bit like a FA, or was it a dream, this was more hearing the dream than seeing it. Mom is talking with dad that she regrets not noticing the details of her dream, because this is the third time she actually has a lucid.

LD: After trying to fall asleep for a while after the natural wake, I catch myself in the midst of a dreamlet. I see my bf already in the dream on the street, but I am still there more of a side spectator than an in-dream presence. My bf starts doing repetitive movements with his hands as if he is entering the dream as well. I concentrate and soon my hands and body appear in the dream. I have a little trouble moving, feel my body slightly paralyzed, but am relaxed about it and just wait. Bf gives me a hand and pulls me closer, which helps me become more solid. He is very friendly and nicer than most of his DC appearances and I wonder whether this could be a shared dream. I walk on the street for a bit, but things destabilize, then the dream is possibly back again. Memory gap?

I have no idea what happened but now am on the roof floor of a building with lots of kids around. I think I lost my lucidity or am quite distracted at this point. The kids are playing with two balloons, one red and one blue, and I am getting closer to the edge of the building as they almost throw one of the balloons too far. I have worries about falling down. Then I go over one of the kids and tell her to turn off/change the music. Here I regain my lucidity as I try to go down while I get a strange fear of heights. I conclude that when people feel this fear they enter a similar to the dream state while awake. Some sort of exaggerated anxiety mood.

I am now one floor below, with my bf and a number of DCs next to me. I decide to ask my bf about the meaning of life. Again, he looks more like himself here. At first he answers something about "going forward", which I very much like. I tell him to repeat it again but instead he says "I like going back and forward" and then blurts out "Money". This disappoints me a bit. I want to get more and better answers so ask another DC. This guy looks falsely familiar and initially gives me the impression I might have encountered a real dreamer as he begins to ponder the question. But then he just keeps repeating "mmm" and "mmmhum" and doesn't say anything. I am annoyed and feel the dream is slipping away as I have been waiting too long. The dream stops but instead of going through the void, I lose consciousness. It takes maybe about 10 seconds and I am back in the dream.

I was in some sort of a corridor before and now I go into the next room where there are a lot of DCs from my class. I want to ask once again, so I organize those DCs which are now around 20 to gather in front of me as if I am about to take a picture of them. I then make an intro and ask them what the meaning of life is. Lots of my classmates raise hands and I select K. who is smiling to answer. She starts a long speech about happiness. She doesn't say anything exciting, just tells me about her life. I have no more interest in getting the question answered. I then address the whole class and ask them if they know what a lucid dream is and if they have had one. A few try to say something, but it is really hard to concentrate as there are too many DCs in the room. I tell them that this is a lucid dream, but then begin to worry that I might actually be having a shared dream with someone and they might think I am crazy. I leave them to talk with one another. I lose consciousness again, the dream is back in a few seconds. (no void)

I am trying to think of more tasks when I see this pretty Asian girl maybe around 20 years old. I start having distracting side thoughts and want to get close to her but she looks scared and tries to run away. I relax a bit and so does she. She lies on my lap as I marvel her beautiful hair and caress her. When she stands up, I notice she is wearing a knee-length dress. I know it is a bad idea to do it temptation-wise, but I just can't resist and start licking her leg. (Yes, I have a problem!) I notice how super real her leg looks, feels and tastes (a bit salty). I am still considering whether I should fully indulge or try to remember and do other tasks, when the dream suddenly ends. I stay still, but am too wakeful to DEILD or fall asleep.

Comments: I did some quick reading related to neurotransmitters and noticed that B6 plays a role in the synthesis of five: serotonin, dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine and GABA. So, after the intake of B6 it is likely that my levels of these increase.The usual effects for me are earlier onset of memorable dreams (today first wake was at plus 3hrs), emotionally loaded dream contents (often aggressive DCs, sometimes me running away, i.e. fight or flight response, also some sexy moments), reduced sleepiness/increased alertness. After thinking about the effects, it looks like one neurotransmitter receives a significant boost and influences the overall mood of the dream - dopamine. I feel that this information finally coming to my attention is important as it increases my understanding of dream intensity and may help me eventually achieve better control during lds.

LUCID

*I realize I am dreaming while being my brothers old apartment. I take off flying just to practice. I wanna master flying really low to the ground accurately. I ended up at the apartment but all the lights were off, so I couldn't see a thing.

DR1- My Girlfriend (in my dream) and I were looking for a new place to live. We drove past a really nice tower, and I was instantly, and with ease, doing all I could to keep my vibration high so I would attract a living situation that would be best. As we drove past this tower, I looked at the small field behind it, and in the ditch beside the road I noticed a burrow where I assumed that homeless people would sleep. As I looked at the back of the tower, I noticed this tall grass and oat straw covered a considerable portion of the back of the tower too. As we continued driving to look for a place, we passed a town-home complex, that had a stucco exterior. There were these weird unattached balconies, and every one had a large flatscreen TV on it, not any of them being used, all with white screens. I was intrigued by the town-homes but ultimately knew my heart was with the tower. After our cruising, we stopped to ingest some sugar. It seemed like we were doing a drug of some sort, but it was definitely sugary, and it didn't get me high in my dream.

DR2- I was making consistent trips back and forth to do freshwater diving. I had 3 buddies I was diving with, whom I could not identify on waking. I was riding a bicycle to and from the dive site, which was very refreshing.
All 3 buddies were living in the same house as me, and one of their mothers I believe was the owner. She had said she was taking the other 3 on a freshwater dive in a further dive site. She didn't have room for me in the car, and I wouldn't be able to make it in time on my bike. They left shortly, and I went to visit another friend. As I got to my friend's doorstep, one of my old rivals stood in my way. He wasn't aggressive as I remember him from the waking world, almost as if whatever he didn't like about me was not an issue anymore.

Monday 8/5/13

Last night bed 11:30pm - 9:10am

I remembered 5 dreams from last night. Every time I woke up, I remembered one. Re-told it with words in my head and went back to sleep. I remember the older ones, but not the last two.

DR1 - I'm at some kind of crossroad. Then I'm at my friends house (p. Bros). She is not home. Inside is nice. It's a one story building with nice big rooms, nice furniture, kinda modern.

I'm in the bedroom. I have a knife in my hand and I make a slow, deliberate cut on my left upper arm. Someone is there with me, watching me. I make another cut. I feel it bleeding. I let it be for a while. Then when it's all dried up, I ask for some bandages. I put some antiseptic lotion on a gauze pad and clean myself up. Then I dress it with another gauze pad.

Then I decide to take a nap in the bedroom. There are no sheets on the bed, but the comforter is nice, fluffy, white, down.

When I wake up, I think I hear my friend outside with her small kids. I quickly make the bed and straighten stuff.

DR2 - I'm a roommate with another friend of mine, who happens to be a daughter or a person from my first dream. We are fetting along nicely and I'm telling her to just tell me if she wants the windows opened or closed, tv on or off, and stuff like that. I'm easy to get along with, so she should just tell me if she is not comfortable.

Someone there askes me to close the window and I see that person is old and shivering in a coat. So I close the window.

DR3 - I'm sitting on a sofa, next to a friend of mine. Room is opened, with lots of people. Someone comes closer and we learn he is a drug boss with his body guards. He is not happy with us encroaching on his territory. There is sense of danger, but I'm not scared. I tell my friend not to let him take her to another room. At the same time I know, he is about to take me there. I think I saw someone coming out of there in distress. Some woman.

Too bad I forgot last two dreams.

So the dream starts out with me walking home. Some guy pulls up in a truck. He looked sort of shady and he was carrying a gun. I then started trying to wake myself up.

Then I realized, wait, I'm trying to wake myself up? I tried to imagine the guy turning into some sort of a gummy bear. It worked, but it was more like a pile of green mush.

At this point I'm really exited, I start to remember the task of the month. Which is teach a DC something you don't know how to do. My thoughts were, my mom was a DC, so I would teach her something. I flew over to her work, then realized it was night time. I closed my eyes and tried to imagine the world being light out. It worked! My mom was pulling up in her van.

I stopped her at the door and said "I'm going to get you a better job, you hate your job." This was true, she complains about her job a lot. She smiled and said OK. We both got in the car and she started driving. She passed her grandparents on the street, and said "I'm going to be a flutist ". So then the problem of finding out something for her to do was over. I don't know a clue about the flute.

As we were driving down (it seemed like a short time) she veered off into the woods. I started freaking out but she remained un-phased as we flew through trees.

Yes. Through them.

I closed my eyes, for no apparent reason, then opened them just as quickly. We were in a new place! I had teleported! I then tried it again, only ending up at the same spot we were at 5 seconds ago. I tried it one more time, this time imagining a music place...

And then I woke up.

Damn it.

I guess I learned my lesson about how NOT to teleport.

But hey! I did:
Transform someone
Fly
Dilate time
Go through things
And teleport!

Oh, and fail at a task of the month.

Seems pretty good to me.

It was a normal DILD.
However I just re-read Naiya's MILD Guide before going to sleep. So I repeated some mantras, done some visualization, etc.
Not sure if it had something to do with it.


I'm not really sure how to describe it. It's a visual thing. It's a really vivid dream.
I was on the bottom of what it seemed like a giant table.
Two guys (video game characters) are flying around fighting around the table legs. I'm ascending. Not sure if floating/flying or just climbing.
When I reach on top of the table I suddenly realize I'm dreaming.

Don't know how. I just knew. I didn't even made ​​a RC.
I feel this huuuuuge rush of adrenaline. My heart is racing.
The scene changes and I'm on the ground on an old railway.
I remembered the few things I've learned about dream stabilization and I stopped to look down at my hands. I stood still for a while just looking at my hands. Then I rubbed my hands.
When I was calmer I stopped and looked around.
It was beautiful. it was an old railway full of trees that led to an awesome beach.
It seems that I'm seeing a blue ray movie. It's so vivid.
I try to fly. I jump and fly a bit but then I'm being slowly pulled to the ground. I can jump and fly for a bit but I'm always pulled again. I do this for a while. It's still awesome.
I'm walking to the beach.
There's an old abandoned car. I make both doors open and close.
Then shoot a dim light beam out of my right hand. I'm so proud.

Things are getting a bit blurry now.
I remember a girl on the beach. Boobs. Kissing..
Only fragments from now on.
The scene changes again and I'm in a weird place. It seems some kind of underworld market.
There's a lot of people. I'm not alone.
I'm not sure if Brad Pitt (yep Brad Pitt) is walking with me.
I remember blowing a Dream Characters head off with some kind of dark side energy force Don't really remember why. He's a bartender.
I'm trying to convince a girl to have sex with me. She almost does.
I'm not sure I have much control at this point. I have the feeling I'm barely aware I'm dreaming.

Woke up.

I have the feeling that this is a very long dream. But it was early in the night.
I normally use a phone app to record notes but I didn't want to wake up my girlfriend. So I just stood there trying to go through the dream over and over trying to recall everything. Big mistake.
Oh and the Brad Pitt Thing.. I'm pretty sure it was because a Podcast I'm listening (Being Lucid) where this guy turned himself into Brad Pitt in order to get laid in his dream
Anyway... this is an awesome day for me.
Happy happy happy!!

So I dreamed that humans were being oppressed by giant... Somethings... Not sure what they looked like, because they wouldn't allow us to look at them. They ordered us to do meager tasks, and people with the skills to do better tasks would do them, and get better treatment. I showed them I could use some kinds of weapons, so they taught me how to fly, and made me a warrior. The dragon from the neverending story (giant flying longcat, but its a dog) came and started rampaging so they ordered me to kill it. Some guy came with a bow and started shooting it like crazy, so the dragon turned him into a baby? I told the dragon that his parents were killed by "one of you." he went over to confort the baby who was next to his dad (dafuq)

Type: WILD

I saw that I'm in a a sea beach and in about 0.5 km's away I saw one of Pyramid of Egypt in the sea
Then I decided to swim in that water. I had a good swimming experience in lucid dream. It was very real. I needed to take breath when I was under water

I am walking toward a large, unfinished Disney castle. There is a closed off entry leading up to an unknown area of the castle, and a lower path that seems to stay on ground level. I ask someone walking in the same direction as me how to enter the castle, they give an odd answer. I walk in the ground level entrance and pass some tables, not paying much attention. I keep walking and see a birthday party with a bunch of little girls. I don't want to be a part of that, so I turn around and walk towards the tables I originally passed. there are some older (relative to the girls) people sitting there, also enjoying cake. I sit down, and much to my surprise, I see WakingNomad and Raven Knight enjoying some chocolate cake. I don't get a good look at raven, and she leaves soon after I sit down, I assume it's something important. Nomad is sitting directly across from me, I figure I should say something, but I'm not sure what. I notice the cake is gone. I start to ask about his CT, then he exclaims something and pounds the table, surprising me. we sit there staring at each other awkwardly for a bit. he looks exactly as he did in some of his videos, he has dreadlocks poking out at random angles, and I can see small wrinkles and other details of his face. I wake up soon after.

Dream recall from today's nap. Lucid started with ultralow awareness and with each FA awareness got higher, though each FA also ruined my recall somewhat apparently.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was going to nap but there were some distractions, and then radio randomly started playing and i was trying to turn it off.

Dream 2:

I am doing some stuff at home, then i wake up in different room, take off headset and sound is still here, some DC starts distracting me and i think about my room. Dream fades out.
I wake up in my room, but it's different, also mom's here, i take off headset again, still hear sound and i feel headset still on me, i take off a few more headsets off my head and throw them on the floor. I go to balcony but door's closed, before i open it mom starts talking about something and slowly turns into that DC that attacked me before. Before i can do much i am teleported back to bed and some force binds me in place, DC says something about some video game and shows images from some platformer, i try to fight the force but dream fades out.
I wake up again, room is exactly the same as IWL, doubtful, i go to balcony and take off a few headsets, i am indeed still dreaming, suddenly outside changes greatly and i am now on balcony of some different building, which looks much older and much more interesting in structure. I take off and fly, i feel my wings. I fly along the wall and then under some kind of arch/bridge that links that building and some tower-like structure. I also try to do some other dream control, like summoning, but end up only making my voice really different. Then soon dream fades out.

Was at OG. People were polyphasic but still adapting. Skyped in. Was asked to move to another room 'cause we were being loud. There was a very Alfred-like butler/chef. We all went to some sort of performance, but it was canceled. Went to Steak and Shake. Was terribly sleepy so I asked someone else to drive home.

Prelude to the gym

My sister was home. My mom and I were in the kitchen. My dad was in the office. Mom starts asking me questions. I get freaked out and yell at her telling her to only ask me questions about specific topics.

The encounter

Melanie beckons me to go to the gym. She drives and it is raining outside/dark. We pull into the parking garage and she parks. Then a huge crowd starts to gather inside the garage. Near my car 2 large mexican woman with their family stand next to us who both sound like the maid from family guy. I become worried wondering if they will try and take our parking spot.

Suddenly the entire group of strangers form a huge circle in the parking garage and start saying the "our father". At this point I am upset because i don't particularly like that prayer. After the sayance, my former middle school principal and vice pricipal approach my sister an I as we are about to walk into the gym.

"who are you saving this extra spot for" says my princicipal
"you of course" i lie. he throws a hand on my arm.
"hahahaa.. You know i already got a space reserved. Do something radical today"
I laugh nervously. "yeah you know..i like that haha. thats going to be my motto for the day"
Then the vice principal steps in. "And if your morals prevent you from having a good time...Get different morals"
To this i woke up to my alarm.

LUCID

*I became lucid and got into a mortal kombat battle with some DC. I shot fire balls street fighter style. I also manifested a cup of water and threw it at him, random. I woke up. I went back to sleep with the intention to complete the TOTM.

*I became lucid in some random house. I reached into my pocket to take a lucid pill to make the dream stable, vivid and long lasting. I took two pills and the dream became clearer after that. I thought of the task of the month, so I found a random person and took them outside to show them how to fly. First I pointed to the sky saying look you can go in any direction even the stars. I noticed there was a planet similar to saturn, it suddenly exploded showering blue water everywhere. I thought wow that was amazing! I went back into the house to get my brother so he could fly with us. He took to long. The dream ended.

It was a rather odd start but i began third person view of my self pushing a man eating a Twix out of the way of a slow moving vehicle he was never in any danger haha. His candy goes flying into the other street dramatically and i go pick it up, and run off. I'm running, he's chasing me and i make a short stop at this bridge and throw alot of Twix at the people below like i did them a favor. I ran off again, guy still chasing me for his candy and im long gone. then i look at myself watching me, almost like i look into the camera and i say "always backtrack, they'll never expect it" this was almost like a commercial but when im home free i end up at this weird school thats has grades pre-k through senior year in college. There's many people gathering and learning outside i walk past these little children and i let one of theem pass infront of me because he didnt look like he knew where he was going. But then this little blonde headed boy comes out of no where, and tells me to follow him, I see him into the school, he opens the door for me. He has a little trouble and we continue walking down a long hallway to this room where there are two tables, one with a psychiatrist who wants me to come live with her while i attend college and seems quite excited about it. But while i was going to be living with her she would be studying me. I immediately say yes to her. The other table there was this man and a beautiful woman in a doctor's coat complete with stethoscope around her neck, and they want me to come study at this school. The psychiatrists asks me a bunch of questions and she seems interested in me. She gets on the phone with someone and all i hear is jibberish, she hangs up And starts yelling frantically about how if i go with her we're going to be able to go to "Broom University, in London." (No, i'm pretty sure thats not a real place) Thats when i start freaking out and I say "I wanna go to Brooklyn!" for some reason I said this even though i heard her. And she says "Brooklyn?" I say "yeah thats what you said right?" She says " No everyones saying different things right now!" Then thats where i say angrily "Well, somebody's lyin' around here" Then i woke up.

I was really excited to go to London. I thought it was real.

Alright, after a while I guess it's time for me to start a dream journal, although I'm not sure what I'm doing.

Anyway, I tend to dream a lot almost every night, but I'm having trouble trying to become lucid. Still have a decent memory for remembering my dreams though, and I DO know those are (very) weird.

So I guess I'll update this as often as possible from now on, and see how it turns out. Hope I'll make some progress with time!
