I'm in my house and have to use the bathroom. The toilet-it doesn't look much like a toilet-is in the kitchen, in front of the fridge. My mom is in the house, in a different room, but I don't want to use this toilet, so I go to the other bathroom. The scene changes and I'm in he bathroom at my friend's house. This bathroom changes too and becomes a large hot tub. Yet another change occurs; I'm now in a large outdoor pool with very clear water. I go under and start to swim the length of the pool, staying at the cement bottom. When I approach the end, it feels as if I'm no longer under water: everything is the same color and visibility but I know it is air. I see a graveyard and 'swim' away from people visiting.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was playing some game, which was third person game where i controlled some character which had some special powers. There was one stealth level where i had to get through some kind of train station, mostly grey-ish colors. There was weird security system which i couldn't figure out, i failed and had to escape some guards in blue uniform. Then i used some ability to jump of the top of big building and then had to find way to some kind of lab through site.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was making and testing some mission in a game where i had to control some vehicles and destroy enemy bases. The central part of map was surrounded by roads and rivers and was mostly empty with exception of one enemy base, because i haven't finished it yet. During the test i had to use few land and water based vehicles to fight through enemy's, then upon reaching that base i switched to some heavy tank with artillery cannon and two more side cannons, but enemy had some very overpowered machinegun reinforced points. I went back to editor mode and switched their placement, then tested again, and then editor mode again, thinking where to put them.

Dream 3(fragments):

I was watching some video that explained why ragdoll physics in games tend to glitch out, apparently it was because of ragdolls colliding with light(Dream Logic!).

Dream 4(fragments):

There was discussion on some forums about some weird metal melee weapons and then i could test some of them.

3rd person dream following a character shortly after his mother's funeral. This man believes he's just been 'granted a power to evade death.' He's currently out riding with the woman he used to be engaged to and his closest friend, who is now pursuing that woman himself. Watching the two of them together, he decides there's nothing here for him and turns his horse away, thinking about traveling.

Years later, the same character is white-haired and recording his memoirs, dictating them to a recording device. He's describing that 'power or curse of evading death' and his wife, who'd been listening, rolls her eyes. She's heard that story of his before. Losing interest, she leaves the room. In his dictation, he's just started describing the moment he was summoned to his mother's deathbed, to take the last of her life and inherit her power. As he speaks, his dead mother appears in the room. This is something he's used to, although he's the only one who can see her, and although she hasn't appeared very often recently. She dislikes watching him let himself grow old. But he's only allowing himself to age as long as his wife is alive, so they can grow old together; after she passes away, he intends to go back to feeding off other people's lives. Still dictating, he remembers the last words of advice his mother had given to him on her deathbed: 'In this life, do not just feed. Remember to dance.'

Eating breakfast with my niece at IHOP (piping hot pancakes with lots of butter and hot coffee...my favorite) and there was something about the breakfast special that I was very concerned about, but I believe my concern was that I didn't ask for the special and we were paying far too much for what we ordered.

Note: I woke up starving!

I'm in some guys house, there are three me here and they have this weird stringy stretching thing going on, I think to myself Ive walked into something weird but even so I am curious and get closer to see. There is this red headed man hooked up to the contraption, he seems as excited as the other men to see if their project works, the continue to struggle and pull at this machine, the finally I hear this loud snap noise, and the red headed man is now decapitated, and the other guys look happily surprised, I look at the head worried that that is house I will die in the hands of not these men who seem to be my friend, but others. I look at the head curiously amused at how the eyelids are still blinking, it frightens me, is he still conscious? does he feel pain? he is looking at me and smiling, one of his arms is attached to him still, it waves at us, and he picks up a coffee mug, and tries to drink it but fails, I can tell he's trying to speak, but he can't. I begin to wonder if this was their plan, is this a natural occurrence? or are they somehow keeping him alive?

I'm running after people while people are running after me, I have trouble running, like I can't run fast enough, so I put my arms in instead of out confused as to why my arms were out in the first place, then I become aware and realize I am only running poorly because I am in a dream, and that I should be able to control my running now that I am conscious, so I try and suddenly I begin to speed up with swifter strides that are more deliberate and I begin to pass people, but then suddenly I am in my body (false awakening bit) and try to get back to sleep to continue lucid dreaming, but then my body get extremely itchy allover, so I give in and scratch, and then I do weird thing in my bed such as curling up so bad that my head is now on the other side of my bed but it seems so comfortable, and I get so frustrated that I can't reenter a dream and everything is distracting me, like suddenly my mom is standing at my window trying to look at me and I scream at her "what!" then she walks away, so I try again but realize I far to awake now, but then I fall into more dreams.

Me and andy are on this weird beach, the beach squares around the corner of the ocean which also is perfectly angular, me and him walk towards the water and talk about the beach and it's uniqueness. Then all the other people on the beach begin to panic and run to the water, but me and andy remain calm and keep strolling, then we turn and walk the other beach angle, and this side suddenly is extremely empty, no one on the sand, no one in the water. And I realize andy has disappeared. I still feel calm even though that happened. I stroll up to the water and see some strange raft floating not to far offshore. There is a young man on it, and he's hold a blind old man by the neck over the edge of the raft. I yell to them "what are you doing?" and the older man tells me that he wants to finally be free. That he wants to be dropped into the water. So I tell him to go for it, and then the boy drops the man into the water, but then he does nothing, then I get a little worried and go in to drag him to shore because there's sharks in the water. I hurriedly drag him and I feel like the sharks are just under me, but luckily they didn't get me and the man is on shore and now he doesn't seem to care anymore either.

Around last month I was having an awful lot of vivid and recurring dreams. Also a lot of dreams about dying and the end of the world scenarios. But this last dream really caught my eye and probably the most vivid dream I've had in awhile.

I've had this dream before - It was the last day of school and everyone was saying bye to one another but no one would say goodbye to me. Everyone was in class and I ditched and went to go hangout with one of my favourite teachers and then the bell rang. I walked out to my lockers but everyone had already started leaving but then I had one of my friends, Ryon, she ran up and gave me a hug and cried. We then proceeded and went t this building where there was these people who played music and our class went to sit in these bleachers. I wanted to sit next to the guys that I had loved to game with. They were all sitting together but by the time I went to go sit next to them, we were leaving and we were all on our way to this big, old mansion which I had dreamed about before but in the last dream, a man I didn't know took me there and showed me all the secret hiding spots and portals you can go through which is a whole another story. We went to the mansion and everyone had there own little buddies to look around the mansion with. No one wanted to go with me but I was exploring around and trying to find all the spots I had once knew about and I knew that the house was haunted by ghosts which liked to play tricks on you when you were roaming the house. I had to go to the washroom and there were two of my teachers outside the door talking about whatever and the ghost that had been following me told them to go into the bathroom (which I was busy in) and she got them to walk in on me and it was absolutely embarrassing. I ran and got this girl, Spencer (From Pretty Little Liars), to go with me and I grabbed her hand and ran towards the fireplace which I had known about last dream and there was a man who walked out of the fireplace and i knew that that was the time to go and crawl inside the small door which was hidden by the fireplace. I opened the door which reminded me of Alice in Wonderland. I told Spencer to go inside first because the tunnel that we had to crawl through was really, really small and I was afraid I couldn't fit in it but I managed to get inside but halfway through I lost my shoe and I started to suffocate. I saw the light at the end of the tunnel (how cliche) and I was relieved. She jumped out and I fell out too. We were in this whole different world. Spencer and I had been standing in this football field with these two girls up on this railing side on the top of the hill next to the portal and she started to freak out and I had told her that it was her and I and she started to cry and I comforted her and told her it was going to be okay. I hugged her and carried on. We walked to the left of the field and there was a picnic area where a few people were sitting by. There was a little boy on the floor next to one of the tables and he was reaching to get his lunch box but he couldn't. Spencer walked over and handed it to him and smiled. I thought to myself,"She's completely different from how I played this world." The boy's mum walked over and took him and thanked Spencer and the mother and Spencer had talked for awhile but the woman had seen her husband and told us to leave before we got hurt. I took Spencer and we walked to the next stage. We were walking on the sidewalk in the middle of apartments and there was this person sitting out on her balcony talking to someone and the floor turned to acid with slugs trying to kill us and the woman that was on balcony, she started to cry and there was blood dripping out of her mouth and it was such a dreadful thing to watch. Spencer started to panic and cry and I told her we could leave if she wanted and she told me that she couldn't go on, that she couldn't do it. I was a little bummed out because the last level of this game we were playing was pretty awesome with this cave full of beautiful waterfalls and wagons you rode around and it was everything you had ever wanted and lust was there.
We had turned back to the football field and he little boy that Spencer had helped got on his tricycle and ride towards us and said we couldn't leave. He started to throw lemons and limes at us and we went up to his door and opened it up and told him we'd go get his mother and he ran away crying. We walked inside of their house and the entire living room was piled with limes and lemons and the house was empty besides that. The TV was on and I went downstairs to where the portal was. I told Spencer to hurry up and she has this NEED to take out the trash for the people who were living there. I waited for her for awhile and then she finally came back down with the trash bag and then went back to our world without me. I was pretty scared/frustrated because I was afraid she would go to a different dimension. I pressed the buttons to go back to Earth. I think teleported and went back to the mansion but everything was so much cleaner and advanced. It felt like the future but so much more tech, white and silver everywhere. I had found Spencer and she told me that the world was a better place because she took out the trash from the different dimension.

Legend: Dream , Semi-Lucid , Lucid

A Snake Beneath the Surface:
I was sitting with people i know from martial arts. We talked for a while. Then one guy started making fun of another for being fat. Next thing i know, a snake is attacking the man being made fun of. He was also sitting right next to me and since i didn't want the snake to attack me, i quickly caught the snake and threw it away from me.

Other dream fragments: (Well, not really fragments, just what i decided to log last night)
-I was looking for an ear plug i dropped on the floor. However, all i could find were old ear plugs covered in nasty ear wax.
-I was in my room, but i left to go somewhere, in the cool summer air.

Non-Dream
Dream
Lucid

Making out with my crush has been a lucid goal for quite some time. I've been intending to summon her for a couple weeks but haven't remembered to do it till now.

Lucid #210-I was in my bed trying to remember a dream I had. I couldn't remember anything which was frustrating but also unusual as I've had above average recall lately. Something didn't feel right so I did a nose plug. I could breathe. I can't be dreaming, I thought. I must have not done it right. I did another nose plug and could breathe. I got up out of bed and turned to my backup reality check, which is flying. I went out of my room, down the hall, got a running start, and flew, phasing through the sliding glass door into the backyard before landing there. I thought this would be a nice romantic spot. I put my hand behind my back and called for my crush. My strategy was to wait for her hand and then hear her voice. I stood there for a few seconds before my patience ran out and I looked behind me. I could see somebody walking in the house. Then, the sliding glass door opened. The beautiful, young, short, blond girl with medium length straight hair came out. I summoned her perfectly. I gave her a hug, which she surprisingly refused at first, but eventually gave in. I woke up.

Darn those short lucids! Luckily it was early in the night and I still had time to get lucid again.

Lucid #211-I was waiting on a couple of old ladies. They reminded me that they had ordered the French onion soup. Darned soups! I keep forgetting about them! I tried to go to the kitchen to get their soup when I realized I wasn't at work, I was in a sporting goods store. I went back to the ladies and let them there wasn't any French onion soup because, you know, this wasn't a restaurant. They told me to go to Bundy (which I assume is a supermarket as I live by one named Lucky). I told them I would. I walked a safe distance away, making sure they weren't aware of me. I tried summoning my crush again, using the behind the hand trick. I waited for her soft little hand this time. When I felt it, I asked if it was her and she said it was. I turned around to find again I had summoned her perfectly. I hugged her again. This one was much better, a nice full body hug. We hugged for a few seconds. "Why don't you kiss me?" I asked her. She gave me a full kiss on the lips which was incredible. We then made out, kissing each other repeatedly as the dream faded away.

I remember going to a Avenged Sevenfold concert.... Thats it

Fill in the blanks later hopefully..gonna go back to sleep but tornadoes in downtown San Francisco and deceased loved one pays a visit!!!=LD

8/4/13* we have a meeting at work and there is a quiz on a new thing we are doing. I leave the quiz on the desk and later they say you can check your file box to see how you did and I don't think I did well because I didn't fill it out properly but it is not in my file folder so I feel like no one knew that I didn't do well. Strange. I see a guy who retired quite a few years ago, Mike. I question what are you doing here? He said that if he puts in more years or hours and goes over 1000 something he gets a special special party with the executives and an increase in the retirement income factor. I'm exiting a movie theater with my son I think and it seems like maybe a theater we had been in earlier in the night in a previous dream but this time we go out a different exit and I think well it can't be that different. There is blue carpet on the stairs going down to the exit and when we come out on to the street after walking a little I realize we came out about 2 blocks away from where we did going out the other exit the previous time . I see a dream character acquaintance that I seem to remember from a previous stream and I offer to give him a ride since we are heading the same way. My vehicle is a sports motorcycle it looks very fast and nothing like anything I've ever owned. Next thing I remember I am driving a car with my son and we are in downtown San Francisco for some reason. There are winds swirling in front of us all around picking up things into the air and I think tornadoes in downtown San Francisco, this is really weird this might be a dream. I ask my son should I stay stopped or should I keep driving. I also ask do you think it's safer to get out of the car and then I find that we are both out of the car under some trees and now it is raining very hard. I lose track of my son and I see it is it's getting harder to see, perhaps because of the rain pouring down my face. In real life I have ear plugs in my ear and I sense that in the dream and realize that I may not be able to hear my son calling for me so I need to take the ear plugs out as I take them out (in the dream only, I later awake to find ear plugs still in) I somehow find 3 ear plugs in my hand and then later 4 and I question why would there be four but still not lucid. I find myself back home what feels like home in the dream but in waking life does not look at all familiar. I am in a basement like room and I hear the keys being put into the lock for the front door and I think oh maybe it is my son found his way back. Or maybe it is my wife and why is she coming home so late. But instead who walks around the corner but my deceased father in law who is very near and dear to all of us and I instantly became lucid. I said to him oh my god it's you. He says well hello there "noc" (I am still checking on the significance of this word but it is similar to a nickname he called his wife and my son says it may be a term he used for young kids). He is younger maybe 50, relatively thin, wearing a striped shirt, short sleeve and glasses with pretty big brown frames. I start to tell him how much everybody misses him and how important he was to my son and I find myself waking up. Very special, and these special lucids seem to end too quickly. Later I think that I'm awake with my ear plugs in when I hear what sounds like radio static and signals in my ears and I feel like I'm just trying to get to sleep. I questioned why there would be radio static in my ears but only very shallowly. Probably hypnagogic sounds. Later I am looking face to face at myself when I was maybe 20 years old or so and I'm hanging off of a open air vehicle. Some earlier dream we are waiting in line for a slingshot ride that happens to be at a favorite restaurant.

yesterday's dreams ..8/3/13 Diane? Prefers a world or school like a Disney movie maybe like Snow White. One by one characters are formed front of me . There were four groups of characters that I remember and 3 characters in each grouping. The first three groups featured a girl and each one was slightly different mainly in the way that the nose was drawn. The last group that I remember featured a boy. In a previous stream there was acid on the floor in the basement like sitting and the dream characters we're like Boston mobsters I had to crawl through the acid as did one of the mobsters and his toddler, mobster started bleeding and left a spot of blood on the floor. I go upstairs and change clothes in front of everyone without thinking twice. Then a pretty mundane dream an open house in our neighborhood and a couple is standing there how to the house staring towards the garage and I say are you wondering if it is really a two car garage? It definitely is although it's easier if you don't have a lot of things stacked on the sides of the garage and if you park one car backwards so that you can park the cars closer together and still be able to open the door on each side of the garage. To be honest with you we live in the neighborhood and sometimes parking on the street can be a challenge. If you have a party you may have to let your guests know that they may have to walk a block or two to your house from where they find parking. E's sister in law M is buying a courtyard home. C asks why a courtyard why not go bigger. I say but at least they can make a profit vs the place they're living now.

Dream recall from today's naps.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was browsing some dragon forums and there was some discussion about electricity and some technology.

Dream 2(fragment):

There was something about dragons.

Last night I went to bed late, didn't meditate before going to bed (I wanted to try out something) and it was way too hot to be comfortable.

I woke up about 4 hours after I fell asleep and tried something my friend Windy told me. I just did some awareness meditation until I fell asleep.
I didn't get lucid...but in one dream I actually thought "If this was a dream, I could kick their ass!" while fighting aliens.

Maybe this works well if I get more sleep. Tomorrow is the last day of my challenge and I'm pretty much content with my results so far. I've learned a lot about myself during the last month.

1st: I dreamed about driving in my car. For some reason I always drove in circles and there was no street that would lead to my destination. I kept turning around and all roads led to the same place. I got really angry at some point but then I found the right way.

Interpretation: Maybe some fear of not progressing or something else...I don't know for sure.

2nd: I was on a spaceship and aliens attacked me and some other people. We got to the sentry guns and tried to shoot the alien aircraft. For some reason it didn't get any damage even though I hit with every single shot. I was like "If this was a dream, I could kick their asses!" but didn't get lucid. Then I backed into the engine room and tried to set up some kind of barricade. The aliens broke through but they didn't want to attack me. I even talked to them. For some reason they just wanted to destroy the engines and they didn't even see me as an enemy. Everytime they broke something, I fixed it again just like in a game.
The dream got weird and now the aliens were some characters from different animes...pretty weird. I woke up.

Interpretation: Memories of some games I played in the past, almost got lucid, in the dream I even passively felt how tired my body was IRL.

So this was supposedly in my dream a work related experiment:

You know the starting point of a car. Give the driver some beans. Require him to travel at a certain speed. Measure when/where the flatulance kicks in.

Note: Car continues to be a dream sign of mine.

Earlier in the night I remembered a fragment:
An exercise machine where you can change the height of where your feet are without changing it?
