Okay so, last night I had a few dreams. The first was I was in this big open desertish area in the middle of nowhere. Kinda like a construction site. (Looked something along the lines of this: 3scape Photos: Lots of new buildings and condos, Phoenix (9-2005), Arizona (IMG_6148) - Fine Art Print & Stock Photography by Adam Romanowicz except more empty. There was a parking lot, a bathroom area, then through the open door way was this open area with like unfinished buidling type things. Well me & my ex were there. Along with like maybe 10 or 12 other people. There was a woman would handed us each guns & it became clear that this was gonna be some sort of survival of the fittest game. I didn't want to do it. I wasn't sure if we'd been kidnapped or what. She said we had 1 minute to hide & then when the time was up we had to start shooting everyone & the last one standing was the winner. I looked around for a hiding spot & as she said GO I ran & started climbing up one of the building things. Others followed so I climbed like a monkey & jumped & got to the top as quickly as I could. Then I woke up. /: but fell back asleep & right back into my dream. I was walking to the bathroom though. I needed to pee. I was scared & didn't wanna go back. My ex walked up behind me (I believe in my dream he was still my boyfriend) & was about to kiss me but noticed people were looking so he grabbed a paper towel. I guess we didn't want people to know we were together because then they'd know our weakness. Eachother. I asked him if this was real? or was it a game? could we stop? were these real guns? He went & asked the lady for a break & she said yes. He came back & told me. I asked if the bullet were real or not. He said he was pretty sure they were & laughed. "So we really have to kill people!?" I asked. He said something like "Well we just have to shoot eachother. So probably just go for an arm, leg or shoulder or something. I'm sure these people aren't hearltess anough to kill..." I looked at him doubtfully & said he has too much faith in people. Then it hit me that he may get shot. He may get killed. I started crying & woke up crying. I called him immediately & told him what happened. So basically, what does it mean? To dream of guns? & playing a "game" like this?

When the moon hits you eye like a big a pizza pie *LUCID*

I was able to lay down for a few hours today and take a nap. I was feeling sick and tried. I tried to WILD for an hour but I was just going to noisy HI and my self awareness was just fading in and out. I figured it was the wrong time. Usually enough time trying to WILD will trigger a lucid like MILD or DILD. I had a dream with a MAJOR dream sign and got briefly lucid. I'm getting really pissed at how short my LD's have been lately. I think I am getting better but it is such slow progress. I've never had this much trouble before.

The begining is vague and hard to describe. I am at some place. Drawing or coloring and I hear some women talking. Some one said something about name motels. I heard one say "Best Western" and another say "Motel 6", ect. I say, "Damn ya'll must be cheap." I was just kidding them. I think of one in my minde. How about Hilton. I look to my left and see a sign on a building that says Hilton Hotel but its like a weird optical illusion with cat silhouettes and it morphs into Hilton Tipton.

Then the dream changes and I am in a Hotel room. I am lying in bed trying to sleep. I wake up annoyed that someone left the TV on but I didn't want to get up and turn it off because I was trying to WILD. The noise what driving me insane though. So I decide get up out of bed to turn it off. Then things get weird. Suddenly, I am looking at a PC screen and I click a little blue icon in the top right and the sound stops.
Now I am outside the Hotel. It is night time and the sky is dark but the moon is so bright I can see a shadow of the building. The grass is lush and green and perfect. I can heard the sound of it as my bare feet walk through. I can feel nothing however. I walk until I am in the light of the moon. For some reason I want to take a look. When I am bathed in the bright moon light, I look up.
Instead of a moon there is a giant thing. The best description I can give is something that looks like a cheese pizza. I immediately get lucid. The shock of it was more than I could deal with. I forgot everything but wanted to fly toward it and investigate closer..So I jumped and flew straight up. I should have kept my eyes on it because as soon as I looked down everything faded to black. I remembered that I was supposed to stabilize by focusing on an object. But I had nothing to focus on so I focused on making something.I get really confused here. I don't know if I opened my real eyes or dreamed I saw the inside of the hotel room again but it foggy and hazy and I felt all dreamy still. I closed my eyes but I felt too much of my real body. I thought to DEILD and for a moment I had a FA that I got out of bed in the Hotel to turn the TV off again. I kept hearing so much TV noise. I had a feeling that I was lucid before so I stopped to try to remember what happened. That's when I truly woke up.



Also last night I had a few frags.

Something about the Islamic Church in Joplin

The baby

Climbing Trees

Being at Walmart

Kids on the house

No recall for 8/20.

Moving Day
I'm moving into a college dorm of some sort, although I'm not carrying anything. I head up a stairway that's crowded with college-age kids, all chattering happily and getting to know each other. I see someone that looks an awful lot like Cara F. and for a second I think it actually is her, but then realize I'm wrong. The idea of a… dolphin-person?… comes into my head and I'm not sure whether I'm looking for a creature like this or if it's just a random mental image. There's a bend in the stairway and I continue up. Apparently Britney Spears is somewhere in the crowd; I pass a girl with black hair and hear her announce "I don't know about all that, I just know I'm talking to Britney Spears right now."

The stairway lets into a lobby-like area. There's a board with a list of names and their expected arrival dates; I'm on there and my date is listed as the 18th, which I know is "today", at least as far as the dream goes. There are only a few people listed under this date, but a lot more are arriving on the 19th and 20th, so I must be a little on the early side. Next to my name (just my first name) is my email address, but it's written strangely, with parentheses inserted and the @ sign spelled out as "at". I realize it's a spam blocking measure… but everything on the chart is hand-written, so what's the point? Also, obfuscation aside, I don't think my email address is actually spelled correctly.

I realize that instead of moving in right away I could be out socializing with the others and breaking the ice a little… it's typical of me not to think of something like that until after the fact.

DEILD 8-21-12
I started thinking about a shopping mall, even thought it's not really the last dream I was in, and eventually I slipped right into one. I was with my cousin rich and his gf Erica. We were just casually going through the mall. Not much to be remembered until I came across a GameStop. I went in hoping to see an Xbox 720. I saw one opened it up and pulled out this weird plastic gun. I started aiming at people and rapidly pulling the trigger it had random effects, I don't remember what it did to other people but I pointed it a rich and Erica and it turned them into black people lol. That's all I remember from that dream.

DILD 8-21-12
I was hiding in the rafters of this old farm building/ sheet metal building and there were some people out side having a discussion ( muffled ). Then I noticed they were going to open the door at that point I spontaneously became lucid. They opened the door and I dropped out and picked up a .50 calibre sniper with no scope on it (bf3) and started firing. Can't exactly remember who I was hitting. I looked around I saw huge storage containers like on the barges that transport them, and saw a small gunfight taking place. It may have been Americans vs russians ( for all I know ) as I went to the Americans side I heard a crying black man singing amazing grace because his friend had died and he was hysterical. I looked around once more and just saw a beautiful environment, now that I'm awake i think it was frost covered with the sun just barely rising. I stopped gazing at environment and turn around to see someone launching *baseballs that were stuffed with explosives.
One soared past my head and took out some people behind me I couldn't see but I heard it. I engaged in slow motion somehow, still with the 50 cal in my hand and jumped in the air towards the next baseball and when it was about 15 feet away I aimed at it and shot exploding it in slow motion in the air. I continued with my jump landing one foot on top of a storage crate and propelling myself even farther and at this point I think the dream was starting to fade so I looked down and stared at my hands and saw every feature about them and then declared lucidity and the dream stabilized. At this point I turned and looked at some trees at the back of the area and ran to take flight. I lifted off a pathetic amount and travelled little distance before crashing into a lake. Then I got out of the lake and my dream ended.
After wards I performed a DEILD.

There was scene were two close souls were meeting and merging.

This guy was talking about how he hates everyone and he hates himself. I thought wow why?

I won something like tickets to a concert. I said to my mom finally to come down here and see me. I asked her aren't you happy?

This guy was talking about something in a group meeting. I stepped and made a lot of sense of the whole thing. Then the guy said yup listen to this one.

I worked in France on a temp job assignment. I was very thankful about being giving the opp to travel and make a little extra money.

I am in a room were people from the future are all coming to together to chant vishnu over and over. I thought is exactly so special about vishnu. There seemed to be a very happy feeling in the room. I look over to the shrine slowly, what I saw were deep blue walls with a beautiful statue of vajradhara. I thought that doesn't look like vishnu but whatever. There were tall tormas and pictures of lamas setup everywhere. One I noticed looked like the 16th karmapa. The statue and the shrine were incredible!

I was in a house and the walls floor and ceiling were wood it was my friends house but it looked nothing like it the house had no doors excepted the front and back I was standing in the doorway with someone next to me I think we were looking for something and apparently in this house some of the things weren’t real so my job was to “delete” the fake items to do this I would put my index and middle finger and thumb together in a diamond shape and a blue orb would expand 2 feet in all directions when I did this all the fake items in the room would vanish I went in the bath room and did these then I went under the sink and grabbed some underwear and put them on (WTF) I remember walking around in them and deleting stuff what was strange in that I was using lucid powers like behind this door in what im looking for but I wasn’t lucid

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID NIGHTLY ADVENTURE

Good morning! Yet another Nightly Adventure last night. I don't really know why I've started having them so frequently again, oh well, atleast it's entertaining when I recall what I did during the night.

21.30: Sleep

23.00: Nightly Adventure
*I wake up and for some reason one of the lamps next to my bed starts floating. I grab it and try to stop it but almost knock the other lamp down on the floor. I grab that and try to put it back in place but the wire is all over the place. After much struggling with them both I decide to turn one of them on, and to my surprise none of them are trying to fly away.

05.25: Dream
I'm back in school and I have no idea what the class is about. The people in class seems to be pretty cool. We've just done a big test and the teacher is handing out the test results. She calls out a few names and I stand close to her watching the scores. Most haven't even scored above 30 points and after each name she calls up she announces the score. People clap their hands each time and they seem very enthusiastic. She calls my name and my score. "Eighty two points." Only a few people clap their hands and I can hear many of them whispering. 'Great...'"No claps?" I ask jokingly and head for my seat. People look at me in awe and I feel both awesome and a bit uncomfortable.

05.25: Wake up

Amount of sleep: 7½ hours

Supplements: None

That's it!

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

Two dreams again ._.

Casually watching youtube on the microwave

I remember watching on the microwave, specifically 2-3 videos on Nintendo 64 best games countdowns. I watch the last video, and my dad comes out to the kitchen, and I start talking to him about the Nintendo 64. He recognizes some game I have never heard of, then I remember the countdown hitting #2, then the dream ends.

I then see my dream friend wake up, and he is a bit depressed that he remembers none of his dreams the previous night. I then tell him what precisely happened in his dream, like I was a bystander or something.

"Epic" house fight

Okay, so me, my brother, and my mom are at my grandparents' house, and I either have my psp, or my yo-yo with me. If it was my psp, it was dead, if it was my yo-yo, it had no string. Either way, I could not use either one, so I just had it in my pocket. Due to boredom my grandma suggests we go digging for something of which I can not remember. So we grab two quite heavy chairs, three small shovels, go into a van, and take off. We go up a mountain, but on the way up, we go around three corners, all of which have a lake next to them, you have to drive a bit into the water to get around and up.(Deja vu moment. Not sure if I dreamed of this place before, or what.) We end up at the top, and we see about 3 homes, and a lot of land. We put the 3 shovels in a soft spot in the dirt in someone's front yard, and I am sitting there wondering why we were doing this, and if one of us owned this land or something. My mom and I sit down in the heavy chairs, and wait two to three minutes, then grandma grabs one shovel and says "they need to be taken out like this, one jerk to the back, to knock the dirt out, but keep the ___(...Something. Don't remember what) in." So what is left on the shovel is what looks like granola bars, but I assume it is some vegetable. We do the same to the other shovels, and next thing I know we are back at my grandparent's home(Dream home, doesn't have the same appearance as the real one).

I look in the street and there are archers and swordsmen standing there, after something of which I do not know. They all sort of stand down, so we think we are safe, but as they start dispersing, one man who looks like Boromir from Lord of the Rings keeps his bow fired straight at me. He shoots it, and I dodge, running to the backyard.
A huge fight ensues, and I try to gather reinforcements. I see two cats with about 6 six kittens, and somehow know they will help. Oddly they were located behind a fence in the backyard, which had another fence behind it. I keep walking, and see some pigeons, I see them, say that we are in danger, they all fly off, but I think they are on our side. I think see a huge tree get up and start gathering bushes and other trees to help. The big tree reminded me of an ent. I see a pigeon, and hold on to it, it brings me way into the air, and drops me, I grab onto a nearby tree, and climb down. Then the dream sort of ended.

I do not think either of these as being fragment dreams, they were both pretty entertaining, I'd say my dream recall is getting much better

I recall four dreams from last night:

DREAM #1

I go to some village with my family... I guess it's kind of like Old Sturbridge Village or something. We don't have long to be there because it's about to close. They make everyone take out their phones and iPods and leave them at the front entrance on top of a blanket. I felt self-conscious because my iPod looks really small compared to everyone else's.

In the village place, we go to a bookstore. I dance around in the bookstore singing a song about Pinkie Pie. ... Yup.

DREAM #2

I'm at a library, and I'm helping a woman return her materials. But then I'm not sure where to return the CDs because I can't find the slot for audio/visual returns. Suddenly there are like a hundred different return slots at the library desk and I can't figure out what any of them mean. So I just leave the CDs lying around and hope one of the librarians will find them. The woman I helped sends her son to find me, and he gives me a card with money in it. Then I go outside and my dad is there to pick me up. I'm still worrying about the CDs.

DREAM #3

Brief dream about some kind of family reunion, I think at my grandma's house. My mom is complaining about how she doesn't like one of her cousins, which I find shocking since I thought they were friends.

DREAM #4

I'm being forced into a Hunger Games type of competition, where a bunch of kids have to fight with each other and one kid has to kill everyone else. Except, we all have to wear ridiculous outfits while we're fighting. We each have some kind of personal assistant who shows us what we're going to wear. My assistant is this kind of chubby bald guy, and my outfit is this ridiculous Victorian-looking yellow dress with a lot of buttons up the front and a tiered skirt. Then I have to wear a yellow leather jacket over it.

We all get changed in the same room. I change next to Fiona (my sister), because she is also in the competition. She has to wear a purple dress. The bald guy is in the room with all of us, but he politely turns and looks at the wall so he doesn't see everyone naked.

I'm already starting to plan how I'm going to kill anyone who tries to attack me. Apparently I will have a sword for my weapon, and I plan to throw it at anyone who comes near me, and I think this is a totally foolproof plan.

Later on, I'm doing my hair next to some girl with pale, short blond hair. For some reason I know her name is Juliet, and I'm convinced that she used to go to Hampshire (where I go to school) but then dropped out, even though she doesn't exist in real life. Anyway, she says something to me like, "Everyone who dies will be a ghost. And the person who wins will be a monster." And in my dream I think that's the deepest thing ever.

Afterward, we all get a last dinner with our families. So I'm sitting at a table with my family, but I'm still thinking about what Juliet said. Fiona is like, "I have so much energy right now!" And I'm like, "But Fiona, we have to kill people!" And that's about where the dream ends.

Bedtime: 01:20
- gerbil dream -
First wakeup: 06:30 by alarm
- school dream
Final wakeup: 11:30

Supplements: 75mg B75, 5 hours before bed. (no idea if that made an sense though)

Note: one of my gerbil died irl about 2-3 weeks ago
The gerbil dream

Polly and Imagination had changed color. Polly was black instead of her original light color.
However, both of them was quite so big. I had them in a plastic bag, and they was almost on way escaping all the time because I'd my irl friend over, and he forgot to close the bag all the time.
It wasn't just Polly and Imagination too, it was some other black gerbil. No idea who that was.


The school

I was in my girlfriends apartment. Actually, it was just like my mums old apartment she lived in for like 4 years ago.

There was a couple of guys in this apartment, it was my girlfriends brother (even though she has no irl) with his friends. My girlfriends computer were on, inlogged on Facebook.

It was morning I guess, or maybe evening? At least wasn't very light outside.
I was going to the school, that is on the other side of the city.
First I'd in mind to walk there with some classmates.

But as I'd start to walk and talked to one of the classmate that's kinda fat to say, I told him I maybe should take the bike or I will have to walk all way back and it may take 2 hours.
So I walked back, grabbed my bike and gone for it.

Once at school we had some lesson, and then we were about to end the day.
I had my girlfriends cat Indie with me. I knew I wouldn't be able to carry the cat with my backpack almost full and with my bike.
I called my girlfriend and told her to take the car and come to pickup the cat as I can't transport it.

So anyway, someway I went away with the bike to the city and now it was probably daytime.
I stopped by a restaurant where I thought of having a hamburger meal.


And then don't remember anything more.

I was walking around my neighborhood at twilight. The sky was starting to get dark, with streaks of orange here and there. For some reason, I decided to turn left down the street toward my friend's house. Suddenly, I saw a huge shadow on the ground, moving really quickly. It turned left just as I was about to. It was pitch black, and very long. Kind of like a giant snake in form. It also made this weird sound like scales being rubbed up on the ground while it moved past me. It all happened very quickly, and then it was gone. I stopped in my tracks. I knew what it was. It was the face stealer.

I had seen it in previous dreams, and this time, it somehow triggered lucidity. As soon as I got lucid, I heard the sound of its scales moving closer, until it just stopped. In the next instant, the shadow creature was in my face. Its head was massive, I could probably put my arms around it if I tried, which I didn't. It wasn't a shadow this time though. I could barely see its body extending infinitely, with dark green and blue scales like that of a reptile. I realized it didn't look like a snake – more like a dragon without legs. (okay maybe that's a snake already lol). The strangest thing was that its face seemed to change appearance very rapidly, like alternating between channels. I didn't recognize any of the faces though, but everytime it shifted, its eyes always looked straight at me.

I had been waiting to confront this monster for quite some time now, as it has haunted me a lot in the past. Luckily, I was lucid enough to know what to do. The face stealer was a made-up version of something I saw on TV. They are different in appearance, but they had the same motive – they would steal your face once you showed any emotion.

So I stayed still and let my face go slack. It was really hard because the creature was so scary and disturbing. Finally, I thought of an idea! But too late, it must've seen the surprise on my face. I suddenly felt my face contracting slowly. It wasn't painful, but I could feel it happening. A few seconds later, it stopped. I saw my face depicted on the face stealer's head. It was smiling eerily at me, with those crazy eyes like it wants to kill me. It was so weird seeing my face like that, and so huge.

Then I realized I couldn't talk. I tried to scream but nothing happened. I could see though. I put my hands to my face, and there wasn't anything on it. Literally. I poked the area where my eyes should've been, only smooth skin there. I apparently also didn't have a nose, though I could breathe just fine. I didn't have ears, nor a mouth. I had lost my whole face.

In a strike of perfect luck and timing, an idea popped into my lucid mind. I thought, since this was my dream, surely I could do something! I decided to be the face stealer this time. I closed my eyes (well, not really because I didn't have them, I simply chose not to see). Then I imagined the monster's face (my face) slowly contracting while I absorbed its features. I could hear the monster grunting as this was happening, until finally I only heard silence.

I opened my eyes, and saw that the monster didn't have my face anymore. No rapid shifting of faces either. It was just...a ginormous lump of coal with a scaly body. It wasn't moving either. I felt my face with my hands, and I could feel my mouth, nose, eyes, and ears – back to normal.

I flew away and never looked down. I went on to complete some goals I've been waiting to do, before I finally lost lucidity and woke up.

WakingNomad Dun Took Mah Comb, Bus, Vortex (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

You'll see soon in this dream...*giggle* even if he may be a projection from my mind, still funny...I'm probably going to be laughing just by trying to imitate some hillbilly accent while saying the title.

There's a lot of dream shifts, but they are all so similar that it's best to just make it one dream, and maybe it was! I did sleep a little late last night. I'm at the pinnacle of my dream recall when it comes to purposely getting distracted with things and still remembering the details (most of them). Now I just need to elevate that peak more....MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I'm running around somewhere similar to a track and field, and I feel this is just some final exercise we would do for a class. Things feel like their coming to an end, and then I remember running fast at an angular line. The grass was so blurry that it started to look like N64 graphics if that's a decent comparison to go by.

I didn't feel any pain from my legs at all running so fast, so I kept running and running until I reached a locker room where I assumed my stuff would be located at. I'm still running a little fast, making short turns and curves inside the locker room and finally found my locker.

There were a few guys around the area I was going too, and most of them only had their boxers or underwear on, and it felt kind of awkward too.

I decided to do a short jump over the small light apricot/vanilla colored wooden bench and take a seat. I'm still breathing a little fast from this (THE RUNNING mind you), but I didn't notice it too much unless there was complete silence in the locker room. Then a guy wearing a dark gray shirt and some dark blue denim-type of shorts randomly declared in the most annoying tone,

"That was only a side jump!" Let's nickname him "DeS" to help me remember the waking life counterpart the DC is the embodiment of. I turn my whole face to the left, look at DeS for a few seconds and literally said (not doing the act of it),

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNN" (yawn)

DeS looks at me weird, so I guess my job was done here. I managed to make a DC shut up for once and not make me feel bad about myself!

I thought DeS was going to react from something like that, like punching me on my left jaw kind of reaction....guess not. I open some random locker door and claimed it was mine, and some of the stuff felt like it really did belong to me. The locker doors were white, but had some fade and wear to them, but not by a lot.

There were those little holes as well for air to go in and out easily in the front of them as well. I start taking random clothing inside my locker room, and there wasn't a lot of stuff in it, just a few dangling pieces here and there, and the rest was just a dark gray shadowing most likely from how the lighting in the room was spread out.

I forget where I put my belongings into, but I guess it would be a bag or something. I take out a comb from the locker, and it is devoid of any teeth (those little spikes). I can't remember the exact color of the comb, my guess is between swamp green or the default orange you see with the skinny combs.

I also recall seeing a shape of a fist and all the fingers clenching together that you would see on an Afro pick.

I look at it for a while, and then lose all awareness of it being in my hand. It felt like someone took it and quickly dashed away. I remember seeing a silhouette of someone behind me on my left, and it wasn't DeS anymore.

With my peripheral vision alone (I love this vision of mine I've been using a lot lately in my dreams), I could sense that this person had very long hair, and was even smiling a little. I didn't need to see the person's face, their aura was so positive and full of jestful nature, and he quickly fades away.

Once I realize this, I quickly get out of the locker room, and the dream environment shifts into a fairly dark room with natural lighting from outside shining through some small windows near the sides of the roof.

And without even thinking about it, I presumed this person to be WakingNomad.

"Hey....hey....give me back my comb WakingNomad....." I could see that he's not really trying to go anywhere with my comb, he only took it away to get my attention.

Then I started to declare in jestful tone myself,

".....before I go into yo dreams....and....and..." (I can't remember what I said to him after that =P )

I think he gives me back my comb, not sure, but I do remember the creases on the silhouette's visage forming to where it looks like he's smiling. He leaves through a door, and I do the same.

The dream shifts where I'm inside of a yellow school bus. (Second time in a row so far that's happened).

I'm going to the back section and sit down at the right side of the bus. There's a few girls in front of me, and I barely noticed this. I see some heads moving around left and right, as if they're trying to build a conversation of something. And then I see the blonde Sarah that I used to know in waking life.

She was beautiful...just like the waking life counterpart.

Spoiler for Mini Life Story:

(Damn it, I remember her trying to have a conversation with me, but I didn't like her simply because being a Senior in High School, and her being a Freshmen at the time wouldn't go together at alllllllllllllllll. She was beautiful though....)

Anyway........I doubt she's going to find this, so I'm okay.

While I'm looking at her, her other friends are like blurs to me at this point. I pay attention to how the dream captured her hair realistically, and started to lower my vision to her visage. She had a fragile but soft and glowing facial structure, completely innocent and enthusiastic.

I think I get a Blackberry phone out of my pocket, which is probably a teal color instead of being "black" like the one I have in waking life, and pretended that I was going to text somebody.

[Sarcasm] Very smooth Link....very smooth...[/Sarcasm]

I realized I was wearing the varsity tennis outfit from the school me and the blonde girl Sarah wore. It was dark green, with some one white stripe along each side. Then I checked over on Sarah again, and she's wearing her's too. She's also wearing really short sports shorts as well. I think she and the other girls she's sitting between know I'm looking at them, but they just pretend they don't know I'm looking at them.

It was so obvious because Sarah tried to use her peripheral vision by turning her face to the side a little too much. After this "pretend to not see" contest, the perspective changes to where I see the back of the school bus, and I also see a separate small window somewhere around the corner that shows the bus driver.

It's a dark-skinned man, and he looks very young, and the fact that he's all jittery doesn't give me enough assurance that we're going to make it through whatever destination me, Sarah, and all the other random dream characters are going to. The driver was driving on top of a bridge road, and he literally has the bus near the edge of the bridge.

I don't know how he got the wheels to get on the edge, especially when there were side borders to prevent something like that from happening, but I start trying to tell the guy to be a bit careful....like seriously, this guy, I swear if someone scared him, we would be falling off from a very very very VERY high bridge.

I had moments where I thought I was going to freaking faint, I can't believe I go on a bus where I place my faith on a jittery and inexperienced driver. Just thinking about it makes me laugh and scared at the same time. The driver looks familiar, but I can't exactly who he looks like.

I basically go through this mental process of "WTF MAN, YOU TRYNA KILL US OR SOMETHING?" and "HOLY S*** WE'RE GOING TO DIE," and while I'm going through this traumatic state, the dream characters are just chilling, Sarah too.

Like what the hell, how are they this calm when the bus driver looks like he's high on sugar? After watching the outside rear of the bus again, and seeing the driver on a separate display at the corner still jittering and looking like he's fucking crazy with every shift to the edge of the high bridge, there's finally a dream shift......

on flat ground....thank goodness!!! (I hate how I'm still giggling at how scared I was with the bus driver's competence)

I'm not sure if I'm in the school bus anymore, maybe I am, but now we're inside some weird tunnel. I'm pretty sure I'm inside some moving vehicle, I don't see myself at all, just a first person perspective, but it still feels like I'm seeing this over the shoulder.

Think of third person shooter type of games like Resident Evil 4 and up( go on YouTube for game-play to get the gist of what I experienced....if you really care. =P)

The tunnel consists of darker shades of green, and with the alternating colors of it and other random colors, it feels like I'm going through a vortex tunnel that doesn't look like it's going to end. There's all the typical vortex sounds you'd hear, so much "Whooooshing" and "Swishhing" interchanging, playing at the same time, it was just a rush, rush, rush!

There's all sorts of things happening here, there's random creature that look like Deku Scrubs from the the Zelda series, and whenever they are destroyed, a feather that looks like the ones that are dropped when you kill monsters from "Tak and the Power of Juju" and the rest of the series shows up.

The surface inside this tunnel looks like very shallow water, there's all sorts of small ripples forming. ***********EDIT******** Oh, and there were skunks all over the place in small groups as well....o.O

So much flashing, so many things going on at once that the only thing I could do was just become passive and embrace everything. Then the dream starts getting even MORE random.

Now it feels that I'm watching a game, a game with so many things on it, too many enemies to avoid, and it had the game play of Super Paper Mario for the Wii (the dream had a side scroller type of perspective and 3D view).

I believe I'm watching Mario, and the entirety of what makes him, him....is saturated with different uses of gold, and a little bit of orange as well. It was like the classic NES or even arcade type of embodiment he was in. The walls in this new environment are full of bland colors, mostly various hues of gray. A bunch of block like structures, but no surprise there since the dream seems to be conforming to the classic 2D game style.

There was so many things that happened that I can only recall a few. One was me mentally controlling the Golden Mario, and making him avoid direct contact from enemies trying to come after him. Some of them look like variants of the default Goomba you see in Mario games.

I kept mentally controlling Mario to jump up constantly because the enemies confined in the area he was in were just all over him. I remember one scenario where Mario is on top of those brown blocks that you would normally make him butt his head on for coins or other random items, and I think there was a Shell going left and right, and it was hard timing everything right so that I can step on it to make it stop moving.

Then there's one more part I recall, like with the Super Mario game play, things went into 3D-mode, but still had a two dimensional feel to it. Then a random Thwomp block just strolls its way into me, or Mario, or whoever, all I know is that I'm seeing things in first person perspective now.

The Thwomp is actually trying to talk to me,

"Hey Bro....."

or something like that. I know he told me something else, but I can't remember because I distracted myself too much with watching YouTube videos early in the morning. =(

I think that's all I remember, I know I had more dreams, but you know what...WHATEVER....I can deal with forgetting a few dreams, there's always the next time I sleep for that.

Tonight was my first chained lucid dream (achieved via DEILD.) The first lucid segment was induced via SSILD. I chained from this one into my second with DEILD. This was a very cool experience but it came with a price: I lost almost all memory of how I became lucid in the first dream!

Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

Lucid #11: Lucid Chains, Lions, and Evasive Olympic Dreams

I'm standing in the vast courtyard of a Shinto-style shrine. There are signs to guide me but they're all written in Japanese. It's early morning and the sun is just beginning to rise. Dream characters mill about peacefully in the courtyard.

I walk by a dream character that I recognize as DK, a very old friend that I grew apart from in childhood. I had not thought of him in a long while. We shake hands and exchange pleasantries, reminiscing about the past (especially the "Quest for Glory" game series.) However, when I ask DK what he's doing with his life and what sort of career path he took, he will no longer answer me. He looks guarded and embarrassed.

We walk to the edge of the courtyard and find a waterfall. Next to this is an enormous rollercoaster here that goes along a track which is somehow made entirely of water. I leave DK behind and grab on to the roller coaster. It immediately starts rocketing along the track, spraying water on me and rushing alongside the temple wall. I realize that the roller coaster car has no seat but only tiny handholds that I must cling to for dear life. Feeling completely exposed and unsafe, I jump off, falling about 30 feet to the ground.

A nearby sign is in Japanese but has a tiny bit of English text warning me (in big red letters) that this is a "Nature Preserve". A few feet away from the sign, a dangerous-looking lion has his eyes locked on me. I try to remember what you are supposed to do when you're close to a lion. I have no idea, so decide to try backing slowly away. This isn't good enough and the lion charges at me, knocking me to the ground. The jolt is enormous but I'm seemingly unhurt. I choose "flight" over "fight" and run back toward the temple wall, the lion charging after me. He bashes me again just as I'm running through a door into a poorly-lit room with a single table in the middle of it.

I wake up but don't open my eyes. I decide to try to chain back into another lucid dream via DEILD. I think about that little room for a while and seconds later, I am lucid again. The room's better lit now but otherwise the same. I decide that I'm going to try for the Olympics again. There are four exits from the room and I command the dream to show me the one that will lead me to the Olympics. Obediently, one of the exits is illuminated and I step through it into an auditorium full of howling spectators. There's a table tennis table in the middle of the auditorium -- so table tennis it is, then!

After approaching the table, I find that rather than a proper paddle, I have an old, deflated latex balloon in my hand. I put it out of sight and will it to turn into an excellent paddle with top-notch rubber. This works. My opponent comes bounding down the stairs and the crowd goes wild for him. They're all cheering for him rather than me in my own dream! Ah well, doesn't matter. This is my dream, so it will be his butt receiving the shellacking.

The crowd starts performing this ridiculous, choreographed rump-shaking dance in celebration of my opponent. I command them that "You will stop doing that stupid dance!" They obey but my opponent runs up into the stands, whoops once, and starts doing laps, refusing to come down to face me. I'm exasperated by his obnoxious behavior and soon wake up.
