I am in a forest with my friend, who is suppose to be meeting her friend that she loves. I jump through the trees and over logs, when I pass by him. He is short for his age, and I don't get the chance to see his face completely. They run off and I am stuck with a fat kid that resembles someone I knew who was a few grades under me in middle school, his name in the dream is Charlie. I walk with him for a few seconds, and he is mumbling something that I can't understand. I then run off towards a tall building. Inside the building, I find my old Spanish 2 teacher and a few Indian ladies.

I don't remember the rest of the dream, it was really fuzzy.

I am in my room, except it is bigger and looks like a luxurious house or apartment with walls and rooms and kitchen and panorama windows and a sunset outside and everything, but still with hints of it being my good old room. In the room with me, there's a tall beautiful Asian girl. My head tells me she's my more-or-less forced mate. We're deep in a conversation and she tells me she was something along the lines of an African princess. As we speak, short glimpses of walking through stinky cattle carcasses lined up behind a small hill with thin trees in a grassy area appear before my eyes. The rest of the conversation is very unclear to me, but I somehow appeared on the chair in front of my computer where I was doing work, when I realized I seemed disinterested in what she had to say. I was unsure what she just said to me, so I replied:
"Oh, so how did that go?" She lit a bit up again with the excitement of me being interested and kept talking.

Side note: I believe this dream was caused from me stumbling across this odd video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiSSDFC3LgA

I see Raven kneeling by the koi pond in the Biodome on the moon. She is looking at the fish with WinterFae. They stand up when they hear me approach. WinterFae is led away by Selene after my two lovers kiss me. "Winter needs to rest and dream within dreams," Selene says. I nod.
"Let's do dream healing on your foot, Nomad," Raven smiles at me. I give her a big hug.
"Thank you for this, and for helping me to remember my dreams, and dream sharing and teaching me how to teleport, and summon weapons and make portals and for being a good friend and saving my ass so many times in nightmares." Raven just chuckles in response.
"Raven, I think it's time for us to return to the Temple of the Angels."
"Let's do it," she says.
I raise my hands and ask my Guardian Angel, the archangel Michael, to aid us in our journey. He appears from everywhere and nowhere, suddenly a supernova searing the back of my skull with holy flame, and then a simple man in a robe made of woven light, with a sword of pure astral/dream fire and eyes like hot ice.
A ripping sound from behind us: we turn and see a tear in the fabric of timespace. Koomo, my Dark Spirit Guide, King of The Planet of the Bat-People, the Man-Bat with skin black as coal, climbs through the hole and then expands his great leathery wings, alighting on the ground in front of me. "Koomo? Good to see you! But, why are you here?"
"You think my two best childhood friends get together, and leave me out of an Adventure?"
At the word 'adventure', I suddenly have flashbacks of thousands of adventures I had with Michael and Koomo in Dreamworld and the Astral Plane. Memories surged to the forefront of my brain of me talking and playing with them in Wakeworld.
Koomo and Michael gave each other a strange greeting, grabbing two arms of the other person, and bowing, almost as if about to do some strange wrestling. Then, Koomo bowed to Raven and said to her, "Thank you for helping to defeat the WraithLord which secretly ruled my planet, and aiding me in my journey to the Throne as rightful King of Mon-Wa You have my gratitude. I have not been able to repay you or thank you as I have been so consumed with restoring peace to my planet. Also, my servants were crafting these five gifts for you to aid you in your journey, and to have cool fucking dreams, I give these to you, designed by King Koomo, and crafted by the best smiths of my planet, of gold and secret black stone from deepest mines."
He gives Raven three gifts, a belt, a necklace and a tiara, each one golden with a beautiful pure black stone. "First, try this necklace, every gift is functional," says Koomo.
Raven presses the stone on the hanging from her neck, apparently, it's a button. Quickgold, flowing like mercury over Raven's torso, golden straps grow, and out of her back, wings of the same yellow liquid metal. "Take flight!" says Koomo.
Raven takes to the air, and laughs, "You don't have to tell me twice." Raven loops and spins, and flutters like a moth.
"The wings increase maneuverability."
Raven laughs and lands. "This pendant has a passive ability," says Koomo as he turns away and half-closes his eyes generating a small fiery orb of dark violet energy, " to REPEL DARK ENERGY." Koomo blasts the orb at Raven, and the black stone absorbs the attack, then spins and shoots the energy back toward Koomo like a thousand shards of broken glass, who blocks the counter-attack with his wings.
Koomo gives her the bracelet. She puts it on and then presses the stone. The belt flows into her hand and becomes a whipsnake, a living whip with a venomous bite. The golden snake has beautiful deep black eyes, and is captivating, yet terrifying as looking into the uncaring vacant eyes of a psychopath. Raven whips it, and it hisses and roars like a crocodile. Raven smiles mirthlessly.
Koomo gives her the tiara. She puts it on her head, and loses balance for a second. "This tiara increases lucidity, and will increase your psychic skills in Wakeworld. What you are feeling is disorentation due to your different bodies becoming more aware of each other. You're fine."
"Also, now you have sonar." Music comes out of Raven, a Metallica song with lyrics that sound something like, 'seeking darkness, seeking light, i see in all things, and the blackest night."
Koomo dreamscapes a maze like area for Raven to practice. The sounds are terrifying, cute, and weird coming from Raven. Raven and Koomo bow. "I have one last gift," Koomo says as he takes to the air, "and in the tradition of my savage people, you must fight me for it."
"Fly, blackbird, Fly!" he taunts. Raven looks annoyed. "FLY!" he roars, as he summons a golden spear and throws it at her. She dodges the attack, and throws the spear back. Raven summons a double-bladed quarterstaff, and they fight in the air. Koomo charges his staff with dark energy, and screams at Raven. She yawns in response. She wields her whipsnake, and whips it at Koomo's spear. The whip wraps around the spear, and Raven yanks it into her hand. Koomo disappears into the maze. The maze goes dark, so dark the darkness shines out of the maze like light. I hear Raven making funny bat sounds and playing that rock song about seeking all, and see in the light and night. Koomo flies out of the cave, and Raven tackles him, and Koomo falls to the ground. She stands with her foot on his chest and his own spear at his neck.
"You win," he says, grabbing the spear, which Raven uses to help him stand. "And the gift is in your hand." Raven looks at the spear, which melts on to the ground, and then grows up on to her feet as boots.
"Um... Spear-boots?"
"Yes! that, and more. Any object or shape you desire, an object of pure liquid Quickgold. I recommend it for weapons, armor, and lockpicks."
Raven puts her palm out, facing upward, and the quickgold flows into it, a ball about the size of a baseball. The quickgold giggles and coos.
"This quickgold is semi-sentient, similar to Nomad's symbiote, but quickgold repels dark energy instead of absorbing it like Nomad's alien. The quickgold also helps balance light and dark energy of the wearer."
Raven pets the little giggling yellow sphere, and says, "I'll call you Goldie, funny little happy ball." Goldie starts laughing uproariously, and forms a mouth. The laughter emanating from the quickgold is so ridiculous, we all start laughing hysterically.
After the laughter dies, Koomo greets me by head butting me. "Nomad Nocturne, and Raven Knight, I bestow upon you the title: Champions of Mon-Wa! All Bat-People who bless you may they be blessed a thousand times in return, and all Bat-People who curse you, a thousand curses return!"
"My friends, I sojourn with you to the Temple of the Angels, for my planet is sick and dying after just 300 years rule of the WraithLord. I seek aid and wisdom to heal my planet's heart."
Selene appears in our midst. "We must heal the heart of the Moon."
I wake up with a jolt. I am in my bed in BanYanLand on the Moon. Selene is sleeping next to me. I am confused. I look out the window, and see the full moon in it. I am more confused. A raven flies across the moon and lands in the window, then looks at me. I hear a voice whisper, "Heal the heart of the Raven, heal the heart of the Moon." I feel something like a tiny moonstone angel-heart flutter inside my human heart. I fall back to sleep.
I am standing back right where I was a second ago, slightly dizzy. Selene catches me. "Nomad?"
"I'm alright."
I look at Raven. She smiles at me benignly. "You're really important to me," I tell her earnestly. A tear rolls down her cheek. She hugs me.
"You're really important to me, too, Nomad," she whispers.
Michael opens a beautiful portal rippling with iridescent fractals. He creates a rainbow a large disc which we step on to: Koomo, Selene, Raven, and I. The four of us join hands, and we fly into the portal. The wormhole is perfect and clean, in total balance in harmony of all the flora and fauna. We land on something like a round stage or landing pad ringed about with marble pillars. Metatron greets us, his face shining like the sun.
When he speaks, his voices sounds like a thousand waterfalls. "Welcome, weary Travellers. I know well of your journey. Thank you, Brother Michael for ushering these mighty Dream Warriors to our sacred Temple, Selene, Goddess of the Moon, may you receive what you need to heal the heart of the Moon. Raven Knight, the Moon Queen, may your healing skills ascend to match your limitless compassion. Koomo, King of Planet Mon-Wa, may you receive the wisdom and knowledge to heal your dying planet. Nomad Nocturne, Lord of Night, God of Nothing, may you receive the deep soul healing you desire to transfer to others.
Metatron leads us to warm saltwater pools with air and water the same temperature as the skin. We float in them and fall asleep as if they were beds for what seems like days. We awake in different rooms in what feels like beautiful tropical bread-and-breakfast hotels, or medieval inns. Metatron invites us to eat with him and others at a great table in a beautiful edible garden. "So many Peoples of Myth have been transported here from the Dark Realms as you rescued them. They are healing in various areas in our Temple. I seen you are concerned, and they are doing well.

I'm trying to heal this abscess I have, but now I'm not in the mood for anything. Haven't even written in my dream journal :/ I hope I can get back in the swing of things when this goes away.

I had some difficulty initially falling asleep which disrupted attempts to use a mantra. Attempted DEILD last night. Wasn't successful at entering a lucid dream, but it did result in a very long non-lucid that resumed every time I went back to sleep.

These dreams are non-lucid but there is a very, very low level of semi-lucidity running through them, especially the later ones. I was not lucid but had some idea on a very basic level that it was not real, although I didn't realize it was a dream or even unconsciously influence the dreams. The fact that Bun popped up in the first dream was a clue that my dreaming mind was aware on at least a basic level, as summoning and petting Bun was one of my lucid goals. It's especially telling that in the dream, I was aware that this Bun was not the "real" Bun but she was still a perfect replica.

#1 - I have a pet rabbit again. I have named her Bun, after my last pet rabbit, and she looks exactly the same as my "old" Bun. I understand that this new rabbit is not my old rabbit (who died of old age) but she looks and behaves a lot like her. I don't feel sad in this dream. I feel happy that I have my rabbit back, in some form, again.

This is interesting to have popped up in a non-lucid dream, since one of my lucid goals is to summon Bun, pet her, and keep her in my base so I can play with her whenever I want to see her again. This was one of the goals I meditated on as I fell asleep. Alright, I know that's sad, but I miss her a lot.

On a side note: domesticated house-rabbits can be trained with very simple commands. They're devious, though, and not nearly as obedient as a dog.

I am building a cage for her. The cage came in a box, in several pieces, and is about 6' long. I've built a rabbit cage before, but this one is put together very oddly, so I'm having some difficulty.

In addition, New Bun is not trained like Old Bun is, so instead of obediently waiting in the same room as me while I prepare her cage, she keeps running off into areas of the apartment she shouldn't be in. I'm in an old bedroom of mine with light brown carpet. New Bun keeps chewing on the carpet and furniture, even when I tell her "No". I'm not angry, but I am a bit exasperated, because I spent so much time training the last rabbit not to do that and I don't want to have to do it all over again. I keep chasing after New Bun and carrying her back to my room, which is difficult because holding onto a squirming rabbit who doesn't want to be carried AND doesn't want to go where you're taking her is like trying to hold onto an angry water balloon.

She runs off AGAIN and this time I find her wriggling behind a server case, where there are a ton of wires. She's nibbling on the wires and doesn't pay attention to me scolding her. I pull the wires aside and try to grab her, but she wriggles in further. I disconnect the power so she doesn't electrocute herself. I have to move the entire case and disconnect all of the wires in order to get to her, and by now I'm pretty irritated.

I carry her (still as squirmy as before) back to the room and set her down. "Stay!" I command. She doesn't listen perfectly, but doesn't try to charge out the door again. I finally finish putting the cage together, and she bounds into her cage and settles down for a nap.

I wake up. I meditate on the dream and attempt to re-enter.

I fail at a DEILD and when the dream picks up again, I am non-lucid. My "mother", a woman with short blonde hair whom I have never met, comes into the room where I am petting Bun. She tells me that I need to get ready for my graduation ceremony. I close the door to Bun's cage and tell her goodbye.

The dream jumps locations and I am in a graduation ceremony that is being held at a place that is somehow simultaneously a yacht club and a water park. There is dance music playing and there is some sort of after-party. DJs have divided into Red and Blue teams, and over the course of the party, people are supposed to vote on which team's mix they like the most. Blue Team wins, although I don't particularly care. They put their mix CDs up for sale, but I'm not really interested; it's all super clubby "bro" techno. The party ends and it's time for me to pack my stuff up and move.

I wake up and use the bathroom. I meditate on the dream as I do so. When I lie back down the dream resumes. Throughout this section of the dream, I am almost nearly awake; I'm more aware that this is dreamlike but still not aware that I am dreaming, and do not affect the dream even subconsciously.

A friend of the family is helping me move to college. He looks like Dwight Shrute, for some reason, but he's not nearly as much of a jerk or nearly that creepy. The blonde haired woman - who was my mom before, but is now just a friend - rented a U-haul so she and her family could move their stuff, and is allowing me to pack some of my stuff in it since I'm moving somewhere that's sort of on the route to their new home. It's a long trip, and I ride in the back of the cab. "Dwight" chats with me the whole time. I want to chat with him about a movie about a group of people who make video games, but I can't remember the name of the movie and it's frustrating me.

Toward the end of the trip, the blonde woman reappears in the passenger seat - I hadn't known she was there, I think to myself, and think that it's so odd that she suddenly appeared there, but don't gain lucidity. I begin to look through my wallet; I only have a $20 and a $5. "Dwight" had paid for the gas and the blonde woman had paid for the U-haul, so I feel like I owe them something. I am debating the tackiness of handing them $25 total and telling them to split the money amongst themselves when I wake up.

I was apparently teaching how to do WILD to a group of people and then we were adventuring somewhere and were in battle. I recall scene with crashed plane in some area with containers.

Dream recall from nap ~20 hours ago that i had written in keywords but didn't had time to write it there earlier, also i feel like dream was fairly long, 24 hours of dreamtime maybe, even though i didn't had much detailed recall.

I was in the subway, moving to some different place. Then i was at home, testing some things in fraxy, there were some new bosses and interestingly it was 3D and had completely different gameplay. I experimented with some things, but later i figured that i had some control over things, but instead of thinking that i am dreaming i was thinking that i was in some alternate world that was in my mind(close enough ).
I was doing various things, there was some weird city built out of various materials and some stuff was on fire, i was getting ladder to go through, also there was a dog that was getting drunk.
I was back at home and was playing around with ability to create various characters, i created a bunch and then was watching some videos with them, some humanoid dog was one of the characters and one of the videos was something hockey related.
After a while something made me think that i was dreaming, but i didn't had much awareness nor memories of waking life so i was worried about it ending, and then i heard voice of all characters, which sounded evil: 'we don't want you to leave'.
Dream faded and scene changed into some other place and i lost lucidity, i was hiding from two doctors who were running around with scissors and wanted to cut off my dick( ).
Then i woke up back at home, but before i could do reality check, objects around suddenly started vanishing and then i woke up properly.

LUCID

*I became lucid while standing in my room. I took at good look at my hands to stabilize the dream. I walked out of my apartment and stepped into another across the hall. I yelled out amerie (a beautiful r&b singer that's mixed with black and korean). I have had a crush on that celebrity for years. She didn't appear. My girlfriend appeared and I am always so happy to see my girlfriend in my lucid dreams. There is more to this dream but I'm in a rush.



*I realized I was dreaming because I have been to this place before. It was a beautiful stop at night with a awesome view of the dream city.


*I was in korea showing off my korean skills. I keep thinking why are korean people so awesome! Then I notice a girl I know and starting going crazy I'v seen her on youtube. I stepped outside and became lucid marveling at the beauty of this dream city. I tried to fly and flew. This kid asked my how I did that and told him you have to know you can do it. This reminded me of the matrix.

I was playing a weird sort of table tennis in the very small room before the bathroom in my house. There was a 'dealer' or 'server' who started a round by throwing a ball into the air at the little table in front of me, which I then had to shoot through the door opening into the entrance room, where my old classmate and untrustworthy friend Tobias stood at his own little table. After a few tries I noticed that it would be impossible for me to get the ball to his table, as the direct line between our tables was blocked by the wall and the door frame. I said what I had just noticed and the dream moved to the hallway above the stairway. We now stood a bit closer to each other too, used the same table, but had a piece of paper we each had to hit. I barely managed to serve the ball in a way that even hit my own paper, and never managed to hit his paper as well. I said I was horrible at this, and we stopped the game. I walked toward the stairs, but I noticed an upright case with visible papers in it. The front paper was the drawings I had drawn and hung up on the wall next to my bed to help me lucid dream. On this paper, I had drawn an anchor for stabilization, and an unnatural looking bird creature with markings on it, which is my reality checking bird. Whenever I see this bird, on paper or walking around somewhere, I check to see if I'm dreaming. For some reason though, when I saw the paper in the dream, at first sight it looked like the anchor but with a skull beside it. Tobias asked what I had drawn, so I told him it was a skull. When I got closer, it was just a bunch of doodles, and the skull had turned into the shape of an eye, so I corrected myself to Tobias, it was not a skull, it was an eye.

Total sleep time: 7hrs

Other info: My sleep schedule went overboard again. At least we have proven again that bad schedule results in more deep sleep, less dream recall and diminishing LD chances.

Dream recall method: None. I really felt like giving it all up and skipping the DJ today, but forced myself to write those fragments before they were gone.

Dream1: I am watching a show of some kind and am in the audience. Initially this thing was supposed to start late in the evening, but it got postponed so it began at 4.00 am. Towards the end of it, it is 11.00pm the same evening, and I find it a bit strange that it finished earlier than it began. There are a lot of parents with their small kids and they complain that it is getting really late and their kids need to be in bed. So the show is just about to finish. My mom is sitting next to me. Most of the audience at this point consists of black older women. There is a moderator kind of like Oprah. Music starts to play and everybody begins to clap hands church style. I am trying to move my body in the rhythm but something in me doesn’t wanna do it. I can’t do what they expect me to. Next thing, a song from the 60ies begins to play, a song which I knew in the dream very well. Once more, everybody including my mom knows the moves of this song. It is a strange sequence of finger moves around the head and on the face. My mom encourages me to participate, but again I just can’t do it because this time for real I have no idea what the moves are, so I feel a bit stupid.

Fragment2: I am going back in some place where I see an old friend of mine. It looks like he has made a huge mess, there is lots of water and dirt on the floor and he is trying to clean it with a mop. I wonder if I should do something about it but it looks like he is finishing up. I take some cauliflower from the floor and throw it in the trash. I go back to look for my friend, wondering whether I should tell him about LD and what he will think about it.

Fragment3: Another friend of mine. I was wondering if he is really back. Don’t remember much, but I perceived him very vividly, I guess because I couldn’t believe it was him.

Fragment4: I look around and notice that I am in some German looking city. I say to someone that this looks like the same city I went to a concert a while ago. [I had a very long and vivid dream where I went to a concert in a small German city a few months ago. That dream concert was really cool!]. Then I look around and see that perhaps it’s not the same city.

Fragment5: I was reading a post on DV.

Note to self: “I am going to bed on time tonight. I will notice every feeling I have when falling asleep”.

took:
- no 5-HTP before going to sleep
- 0 dose galantamine + choline
- no Piracetam when I got up
lucid dreaming: 3 lucid experiences
note:
- I did have two beers last night against best practice mentioned earlier
- with the extra long period of wake in the WBTB, I was setup nicely for some LDs
- lately I'm starting to switch from RC induced LDs to imagery induced LDs. This occurs when I go to sleep watching the imagery I see with my eyes closed until it becomes concrete enough that it is a dream scene.

So I was sort of half-lucid, and I wanted to mess around, have fun, and be a dinosaur. (I think I got the inspiration from earlier in the dream when I saw the skeleton of a T-Rex in some guy's room. Underneath that, there was a hole in the floor that revealed a huge chamber with a huge pterodactyl skeleton. Apparently it was the scene of some boss fight that i'd been to earlier, but I don't remember that, only me reminiscing about it.) I'm in a weird version of my dining room and I'm trying to become a Tyranisaurus Rex but nothing is really happening. I try putting my hands on the back of either shoulder and pushing my arms forward to the front of me like a T-Rex's arms are, but nothing really happens. My dad (and brother?) are in the room and my dad says that transformation in dreams is impossible (I might have told him something like "no it's not"). To summon a character that I write about in real life, I expected her to be in the living room, and then I turn towards the living room and she is there. Her hair is different, though, and I could hardly see her face, but I know she was smiling at me.

I call her to me and ask to her to turn me into a t-rex, starting with putting my arms in front of me like they are on the real dinosaur. First she makes me spread my legs wide apart and I go, "oooh yeah, that's right", because apparently T-rexes have a very wide stance. Then she tries to move my arms forward, and it sort of works, but for the most part it's more like she's bending me than moving just the arms. Then she leaves for some reason and my shoulders sort of creep back into place. I spend the rest of that dream trying and failing to become a dinosaur and put my arms in place.

Later, I'm no longer lucid and I'm with this police officer and he's checking to make sure that my friends and I all have 20 sketches in our sketchbooks (It's kind of been haunting me that 20 sketches are due in my art class in real life). My friends have already been checked and they're standing to the left quite a ways away, and I'm still tearing out sketches from my sketchbook and giving them to the police officer to check (more like putting them on the table in front of him, in a pile). I start laughing as I see and remember about four drawings of the same character in the same pose that I was drawing from a reference that I just couldn't get right. My friends ask what I'm laughing at and I say that I'll need to show them these sketches when I'm done with the police officer. They all look humorously bad (it was Conan from Detective Conan/Cased Closed). I also see some other artwork that I'm surprised I drew, since it was so good. There was a Kaito from Magic Kaito (and Detective Conan/Case Closed, more recognizable as Kaito KID) and there was a drawing of Double D from Ed, Edd, and Eddy with a female purple character that I can't remember.

I think it might have been in the same dream when a school bus pulled up in front of me. I realized that it was my bus, and I hurriedly stuff some papers (the sketches?) into my backpack and slung it on, then there was another, smaller backpack that I had to sling on, and then just as I headed for the door, it started driving away, and I yelled, "HEY! HEY!" and ran after the bus with my hand on the still-open door, but it drove away without me. A teacher there said that it was alright, and that next week I would be assigned to a different bus that I wouldn't miss. I, however, was very angry that the bus left without me when surely the driver could see me or at least my hand. I was walking back to the school with that teacher, my friends, and a bunch of other students, now. The ground was dark and wet, but in my frustration I slammed both backpacks onto the ground (and then put them back on). The teacher scolded me, because who knew if a kid had thrown up there or something, and now I could get myself and everyone around me sick! I scoffed, too frustrated to listen to her.

Later, school has just gotten out. The ceiling has this wavy pattern on it that it doesn't has in real life, and I'm in a hallway walking towards the big main room of my school, toward the buses. Suddenly, when I get near the end of the hallway, a bit of the ceiling slams down right in front of the doors, creating an impassible, stone, wavy wall. Everyone screams and runs the opposite direction to find that the same has happened to the other end of the hallway. Then, the ceiling starts coming down slowly. I take off my backpacks and throw myself to the ground, right under a trough in the waves. It's a tight squeeze, but when the ceiling touches the ground, I survive. It seems that everyone else had the same idea, because when the ceiling rose, everyone was still alive. Many were smiling and laughing, and I was relieved too, but I was shaken, and I ran ahead of my friend to get out of the hallway.

Later, I'm waiting to order and be seated at a fairly nice restaurant with my friend. She is holding this chocolate ball with a different kind of sweets inside it. I ask her how it works, and she tells me that we both (, taking turns?, ) smash it with our fist(s?) and whoever has the most chocolate on their hand(s?) is the winner, and gets to eat the rest of the ball. My friend or her family alerts me of something that takes me away from the group, and when I go back to them, they are seated and have their food in front of them. My grandma (who is apparently now my friend's family and not mine) tells me to try her food, which is a baked potato with the usual stuff, but also drenched in syrup. It tastes okay. The waiter comes by repeatedly but never asks if I'd like to have anything or if I'd like to order, and I'm not courageous enough to ask for a menu or anything myself. I'm very angry that everyone ordered their food without me, when they wouldn't have had to wait very long for me to get back.

i am at the "doctor's office" for a checkup. the doctor's office is a large circular mezzanine located in a tall cylindrical structure. everything is made of brushed metal and creates a sort of sci-fi atmosphere. a red and yellow cylindrical tower rises from the centre of the structure. my father is here also. i am naked. the doctor says that i am very underweight and my father is greatly concerned by this. to demonstrate how thin i am the doctor picks me up and begins shaking me around.

then i am in a house. there is a dog here, a small cream-coloured husky. i understand that i will soon have to leave here forever. there is a feeling of great sadness.

next i am "downtown" with a chubby teenage girl. we wander into an alleyway and open a door to a dilapidated corridor. there are three doors here, each with windows; from what i can see through the windows, this appears to be some sort of child sex ring. the rooms house a number of female children, ages 8-12; they are all naked. the girl and i enter one of the rooms and we're relieved to discover (by looking at a framed poster on a wall) that in fact, this is not a child prostitution operation: the children are just working for a cereal company! this makes complete sense to us.

we enter another room. this room is white and contains several young girls who are all clothed in 50s style blue-white dresses. they have various deformities; it soon dawns on me that this is an institution for the mentally disabled. one of the girls tries to bite me. we leave.

next, my boyfriend and i are attending a music performance at a coffee shop. we arrive after the performance has finished, so we offer to put a tv show on to entertain the others. i want to put on a show about a frog without a tongue, but my boyfriend is intensely disgusted by this. i decide to put on a show about dolphins instead. however, all the dolphin shows i can find are crappy cgi videos; we want to look at real dolphins. the song vox humana - deerhunter is involved somehow. (absolutely amazing song, listen to it).

I was walking to school, with S. We were taking a very long time; we knew that we were going to be one hour late for school, but for some reason we didn't care and just continued talking to one another about a whole range of topics. I can't say I remember what, but they were very deep and personal subjects, I remember that.
We began walking towards the school. My school was, for some reason a huge cylindrical building. Kind of modern, with a shallow, domed roof. The school was built in a small valley surrounded on either side by small mountains covered in tropical forests. There were some other buildings and roads scattered about, but for the most part, the area was pretty rural.
I should also note that the sky was bright orange, and I think there were binary suns.
We got to the school, and I lost track of S, but almost immediately ran into C. She told me that she needed a ride to her tech school class, and wanted to know if I would be willing to call my parents to have them come pick her up.

My recall cuts out, but the next thing I knew, I knew this was a dream. I was still in the valley, and I could still see the school. But I was at a much different angle, and could see an ocean now. My mother was there, and we were on top of one of the mountains. There was a table set up with this huge feast laid out.
We talked for a minute or two, and I avoided eating any of the food or stabilizing the dream. (Not stabilizing was my mistake. Ooops.)
I decided to try and find my dream guide; Lia. I know she can appear as any female DC. So I ask my mom if she is posing as my dream guide. She says no.
I get up and begin walking around. There is a large paved plaza behind us, with gaps in the pavement where palm trees are growing. And as soon as I begin my search, dream characters begin FLOODING the area.
I see someone who looks like my dream guide, but as I come closer, I realize that he is in fact a young man. Nope. I look for another dream character. I see another potential, but as they get closer, he too appears to be a young man.
He walks past me, and I get a new idea. I think that maybe if I want to get my dream guide to appear, I can change one of these characters into my dream guide. I hold up my hand and he begins to change. He becomes a girl that looks sort of like my guide, about her age and height, but with more pale skin and lighter colored hair.
The next thing I notice is her eyes. She has bright green eyes. She turns toward me and opens her mouth really big.
I lose lucidity as I am taken out of my body. This alien parasite comes out of the girl's mouth and attacks me.
The feel changes to being like a nature show, and a man's voice is explaining to me how the parasite works. He says that it has three appendages that is uses to spray acid on the victim. It then eats the victim.
I woke up around here.

Last night, following a WBTB return to sleep, I was dreaming (non-lucid) when the dream started to fade. I've never had a normal dream fade like this before - my normal dreams just seem to run into each other or end abruptly. But this one started to slowly fade out like a couple of my lucids had.

This turned out to be a good thing, because it triggered an in-dream recall: I realised I was in a dream and that it was fading! So I exerted some effort, no system just willpower saying 'Don't fade; keep dreaming' and the dreamscape came back - this time I was lucid, however
