Depleted Coins: I was walking together with a few other people through a small pavilion like building, and the floor was separated into a few wood walkways and the rest was water. Someone I never got to see in the dream started to throw colorful coins at us (mostly blue and green) but suddenly I remembered something like I already was in this situation some time ago, and I knew the coins were made of some depleted radiating material. We went into some kind of building which partially looked like the changing area of a swimming bath. There I've nearly seen the person who was throwing these coins at us but he was too far away in a dark corner. Weird ice cage games: I was in some kind of cage area and there was very slippery ice on the floor, the areas were separated by metal fences. There were a lot of people around and most of them seemed somewhat hostile to me. My mind tells me the dream played in the nazi era for whatever unknown reasons. The people start throwing frozen wine bottles and glowing coal at each other, but primarily at me. However I could move better on the ice than anyone else and evaded every single attack skillfully. Even one of the wine bottles which bounced off of the ground further in my direction. Land of Trainstations: Me and my girlfriend were playing around on a railroad, close to a hill. We managed to get a long and really stable cable entangled in a fast passing train and since we had no clue what was going to happen but figured nothing too good if we stayed there we went away. Suddenly we were walking on railroads again and these were built on all kinds of different but mostly soft and slightly humid earth, during that journey we also came across a few trainstations which looked really unique.
I woke from a dream and decided to do a DEILD, which worked. I did not enter the dream I had been in though. I was back in that "Clear Light of the Mind" mode I describe in a post from earlier in the night. While this state is supposed to be some grand spiritual end, I am not all that impressed. I call it the white room after the training area in the matix. I decided to create a dream in the white room, so I went about diong a RC (wow, no body, yep a dream), and started to form a body, but my wife woke me and it was time to get up.
I was walking past some metal tube shaped object, when my foot brushed it, and a label fell off it. I found that odd and stopped to do a RC. Yes, definately a LD. I tried to stablize, but ended up waking up.
This was a WBTB WILD. I had been drifting in HI land for some time, just barley staying aware, when a sudden flash of reality hit, and everything lit up very bright. I was no longer in any kind of darkness, but the scene was a pure clear white. I have been having fewer LDs for about a month, and got kind of excited. I wanted to varify that this was a dream and not just a pre-dream WILD phase. I loooked around and realized I was 100% disembodied, with no sense of my waking body or bed. I could rotate and the view stayed ultra-white or 'clear' as they say. I considered channeling the dream into an adventure, but I had just written a section about this kind of dream. The Tibetian Yogas of Sleep and Dream, call this "Clear Light of the Mind" and attach a very high level of spiritual meaning to it. Now, in this state you do not even really think, as the process of thought is still a expression of duality. I decided to do the whole "Clear Light" thing and stopped the monolouge and just experienced the unity, or lack of duality. "Yawn" some yogis may fantasize that this state is the ultimate level, but I think it is that they either want the 'goal' to be attainable, or they want to feel that because they can do this, that they have reached an end. I find it just one more state of awareness. Eventually my wife woke me up.
Black means non lucid Orange means semi lucid Blue means lucid Red means dream characters talking Purple means possible shared dreaming person Green means notes Got it? Great! Now enjoy reading my dreams. Dream #1 Babysitting kids. Im in some house babysitting 2 little boys. There was a fairly attractive young lady in the house getting ready to head out somewhere. (She was brown skin with a thick curvy figure, had black curly hair, and had a british accent) The little kids were getting to be a pain in the ass, so i called this head coach (not sure who he was) over to help me babysit these kids. Dream #2 The loaded gun. Im in My cousin L's house, and she gave me this silver gun. I check to see if the safety was on, and it was not. So i intentionally pointed it at a table and shot at it, and there were other people in the room who jumped from the gunshot. "You did'nt put the damn safety on." (My cousin L talking) "I thought i put it on after i loaded it?" "No you did'nt. Just leave it with me in the time being." I tuck the gun underneath my belt buckle, and started cleaning up. Dream #3 They are plotting against me? Im still at my cousin L's house, and i noticed this heavy set black dude sweeping something up. I was cleaning up some cheerios or something like that, and i said that i needed to use the bathroom real quick. There was this latino dude sitting down in a chair talking to someone on the phone, and staring at me the whole time. (Little did i know, somone was plotting something against me) But little did they know, i was on to them and ready. Final dream: Paranoid? Crazy? Or Both? Im walking down a long a long hallway, and went into this bathroom. (it looked like a public bathroom stall) Im taking a piss, and hear someone coming towards the bathroom. I finish, turn off the bathroom lights, and notice some shadow coming towards the bathroom. I hid behind a wall of the door, reaching for my gun waiting for this person to enter the bathroom. Soon as he entered the bathroom i shot him twice, and once in his head. I hear people screaming down the hall. I said.. "Ah ha..they ARE plotting against me!" I waited again for someone else to appear in this dark bathroom. A second guy appeared, and i shot him. A third guy appeared, and i shot him like 5 times. He kept crawling towards me, and i shot him in the face. I ran out of that bathroom, and ran down this long hallway, dived thru the floor and woke up. =/ No luck becoming lucid in this dream. :/ I was gonna try and search for Littlezoe again, but i ended up only being semi lucid. Oh well, there is always tonight to look foward too!

I was looking out the window and had seen 8 tornadoes in the distance.. they were making their way towards the direction I was in. I instantly grabbed a camera and started to take pictures. People were running all in the streets and I was ducking low behind the bottom part of the window only to pop up now and then to snap pictures of these twisters. out of the corner of my eye I spotted pure darkness and realized it was a huge massive dark tornado.. it practically engulfed one side of the sky.. I felt the air becoming warm and I woke up.
Dream Fragment - Alright, this is really all I remember, so bear with me. >.> My entire perspective was something like a side-scrolling RPG, and it was all constantly moving to the right. There were very flat and 2D graphics, but they were still pretty detailed. "I", the main character, was what appeared to be a large gorilla flying around in some kind of hovercraft that was like Bowser's from the Mario series but much less cartoony, more futuristic and mechanical. I was constantly firing bullets down under me and to the side somewhat, and there were explosions happening constantly all over the "screen", along with several things that are harder to remember. And that's about it. This dream was undoubtedly inspired by the following two games, which took up a lot of my focus yesterday:
Became lucid after Some girl was talking to me about baron. Instantly stabilized. I started out flying. I was a bit shaky at first but started flying better then I ever had before. I fly high *and low. I wanted to say goodbye to the woman so I went to do so. Her boyfriend was there and I did not want to make him jealous. She saw me and said her watch was missing. I instantly spotted it and showed her. She was amazed. I flew away to tell Lara and Leo and it all. I told Leo and he was like are you sure? Super sure? I assured him so. He got super excited and began experimentations. He was slightly ignoring me so I found a twig on the ground and practiced light it on fire. M powers were right on. The more the wanted fire the more fire would glow. I set the twig down and left Leo to do his thing while I went outside. I kept flying and climbing really high. It was so scary but so refreshing. I climbed to the highest point and saw the most amazing view of the world. I noticed the length of the dream several times throughout but never woke up. I saw Lara and a crowd behi d her. She was super famous. She was dreaming that she was the girl with the dragon tattoo. I decide to let her have the good dream and kept going I tried not to look at any woman she they would not entice me to hve sex and possibly wake up. This kept going on for a while until I finally woke.*
My cousin gave me this solar panel to fix or something. Seems we were in some type of electronics shop where they fixed electronics. There were benches with other employees working there. I don't think I really did any work, although I was an employee too. I mainly went around poking my nose around the shop and watching everyone else.
No dream recall, it wasn't really going to happen, especially leaving a party around 2AM or so, and then doing random things until 4 AM, and only sleeping for 4-5 hours on a random interval..... I had a lingering thought in my mind, but it faded. Oh well, nothing too major, since my dreams are boring anyway. One thing that amazes me is that anything is possible in dreaming as long as you believe it will become a reality. Okay, I might be playing around with a few words there, but every time I see someone saying you can't do this in your dream, and yet they preach that statement in bold, how far are you willing to add exceptions to the point where the statement above becomes diluted and meaningless? And exclude the fact that you can't really do the same things in waking like as you can in your dreams (create fireballs out of your hand, etc.) If you're the really idealistic type of person, you could say dreaming in general is a perfect medium for self-fulfilling prophecies. A prediction that comes true entirely because people believe it and act on that basis. Well that's a self-fulfilling prophecy in a nutshell, that's nothing new, nothing special, but really...this is all dreams are about! I'm still using a little bit of mental filters with practical reasoning of dreaming and it's limits, and with everyone's own unique schemata, sometimes the "anything is possibly in dreaming" mentality that gets preached here but not really taken to full appreciation (by appreciation, just knowing that your mentality and belief in something will eventually cause you to actually obtain whatever it is you seek). This probably doesn't even make sense because the concepts are common sense, but how many people use common sense with dreaming? Probably not a lot, and I'm not talking about stabilization, REM cycles, induction techniques, genetic restraint, blahblahblah..... If I really wanted to, instead of believing that I'm some kind of representation of some mystical being, I could just say I'm just an ordinary being, and if I strongly believe that, it's going to happen, no questions asked. Unless...Deus ex machina. Something that comes out of nowhere to solve something that would be deemed as impossible to solve. Whether you believe in deeper and more subjective aspects of dreaming in general like the Astral Plane, higher beings, Shared Dreaming, and more....there has to be something at some point in your dreaming experiences that you cannot believe was going to happen. That one variable, but not the only variable, is what makes dream interesting. But, you could use an argument that it was your subconscious that fabricated it, and based on your belief on its efficacy, it can change how you act in your dreams. Common sense right? But does anyone pay attention to something that apparent? If I secretly set out false expectations, things I know that could never happen because people will form a consensus, and this is just constraining the "anything is possible in dreaming" to just the dreaming plane, and maybe a few more realms, planes, dimensions beyond that, if I'm really sticking to a certain belief at the time, and if people think it's logical to become a reality in dreaming, it's going to happen. What's the point in saying all this? What I'm saying is that dream interpretation, from what I know of it, is just false expectations, things that you want it to declared as a meaning, when it could be something else. The more mental filters you create for dream interpretation, and it's pretty much bound to happen to someone, the harder it is to see the real meaning. If anyone is actually following me on this, if you think something as absurd as a piece of rock representing that you're too "stoic" and "dull" in life, how much are you willing to bet that naturally, you're just using homologous variation just to make yourself feel better. Things like seeing fire, you could easily associate that with a conclusion that with something like rage, anger, strong intentions, blahblahblah. If I'm using homologous variation right, you could say that dreaming really is limited to what your unconscious contains. Which means that meaning in dreams are meaningless because of its subjective nature right? Again, I'm not saying that, or believing it, but things like homologous variation and self-fulfilling prophecy in general, it makes sense to think something like that, right? But that brings in another interesting trend, when people tell you or others that you shouldn't over-analyze dreaming. Lol. That's a perfect excuse to safely guard your beliefs from being shattered. Everyone has a right to believe what they want in their dreams, but man, it's obvious that these aspects, but not only these aspects, makes dreaming something anyone would love to see become true end up being true, as long as they don't let religion, how they were brought up, etc. encroach its subjective nature. Lol. I can already predict how people might take this, "That's absurd!" "That doesn't make it fun!" wah wah wah. Meh. Enough with the Freud mode. Happy Dreaming, everyone. In my opinion, dream interpretation is just a vehicle for making false realities an actual reality, excluding any kind of incorporation of waking life of course...just dreaming and anything beyond that plane. Don't take dream interpretations too seriously, but some people don't really pay attention to that, which was clear in that last ramble I made about that golden eagle nonsense. Just proof that as long as I believe I'm a part of that, that it will become a reality in my dreams, but really, does anything really matter anymore to believe in the dreaming plane and beyond? Maybe we're all just nothing, just voids, filling a meaning when it isn't really required, just optional...lool. But if you go into that mentality that there is essentially no reason to believe something so strongly, it's going to be boring just existing in the dreaming world/plane. I just wanted to see how I might think if I believed in only practical reasoning in dreaming in general. I'll probably forget this until I look at it again, I shift and experiment with as many mindsets as I can, without fading myself away from a logical and general one. So don't think I'm taking the things I've said as absolute law.

Dream this morning: Started at gathering of friends place. I brought a van with 2 table beds. Decided to rest on 2 full beds. Went out exploring with a group of friends. As we ventured through this city, all of a sudden, this black flesh eating and decaying force began devouring my group. Friends were consumed. I continued running being chased by this force. Force was devouring everyone, and transforming. I ended up at my house and tried to bring my dog with me, I carried her part of the way, swam through lake, and made it to neighbors house where they were sitting outside. I got them to come with me and us ride in there car to the airport at a nearby hotel where we could flee the country for Asia (or somewhere). When we got there and stepped out of car I realized we left my dog behind. I suggest we go back quickly for her and they agree. My brother is with me now. When I open car door, dixie is inside. I hear my moms voice (possibly next to me now) say she was there the whole time. I say no, cant be her... we left her. Mom persists. Voice enters dream saying this is not my dream. I become lucid. I continue to airport with my brother now lucid, begin to fly and leap through the air. Attempt to fly again and I start to feel my sleeping body. Lucidity begins to fade, I slowly get pulled from the dream, spinning, I awake.
Key: {Curly brace & blue} .... Relevent waking life details before entry, if appropriate Black .... Dream body/narative text (Standard braces & dark green, bold) .... Dream notes, lucidity, time. method etc ************************************************** *********************************** {This one is from last night.... Waking life A couple of days ago..... I was REALLY stressed on a return work trip by air... Bad days!!! I had both outbound and return travel days of missing my connecting flights & aircraft breakdowns making me really late!! Any connection with an unpleasant travel dream???} (Non-Lucid) I’m at an outdoor / above ground city ‘Metro’ station. The “line callout plan” at this station shows this is the green line. The station is in a large pedestrianised public open square with a pink and grey granite oval building. Theres hot dog sellers walking around the square and I can smell the food... The metro train pulls up at the station & I board... Its like a dull white and silvery white two tone train, with a red and blue zig-zag logo on the side... Inside the train has red plastic seats, with blue padded bits in the middle... Theres quite a few people on the train, some are sat, some are stood up hangling on straps and rails... I'm stood up!! A couple stops down the line, a group of lads get on. They are wearing 'hoodie' tops, track-trousers and bright coloured trainers... They are being really antisocial and are swearing, making loud personal comments, spitting and generally upsetting all of the other passengers in my carriage. They then start dropping stink bombs... I eventually get annoyed, and confront them about there behavior... One of them turns around and responds back “Don’t like the smell of eggs..Tssk … You can S**K my D**K” ... I back down from the confrontation The youths get off a stop or two later, and I carry on with my journey, shaken.. A few stops later, I get off the train at an above ground station, that I dont recognise (Journey was above ground a while, then underground for a while, and then back above ground) I'm in an open air station, in a gorge (~50-60ft deep), with stairs going up the side of the cutting to the exit, and some trees casting some shade from overhead. I'm lost, and beginning to panic, I find the “Line callout map" on a notice board ... This station isn’t on the line!! I start climbing the stairs to get out of the station cutting... The closer I am to the exit, and the more view I get of the station, the more I realise I'm lost!! ... Where am I?? Awaken, sweaty!!
In which I see an owl and a fox with bird color vision... I know I'm sleeping. I look out my window into my backyard (which isn't possible in real life since my window faces the front yard). I see my backyard under the moonlight in amazing tetrachromatic, UV vision. I'd listened to a podcast earlier that day that explained that certain birds can see all the colors that we see in addition to UV. The moon is full and shining brightly yet somehow the stars are also stunning. The sky is indigo, and everything is perfectly still. The pecan trees in my backyard cast purple shadows on most of my yard, but their tops are bathed in deep green light. A large owl, checkered with brown and white feathers, glides into my yard and lands on the fence to my kitchen garden. It's a great horned owl, and it's white feathers sparkle. I think that the feather I found in the lawn the other day must belong to him; he must be a regular visitor. I watch him through the window, and I think about waking up R to share the moment with him. But I realize that to wake up R, I'd have to wake up myself and this would make the owl disappear. The owl is facing my chicken coop, smelling them and wishing he could get inside. The chickens are closed up securely, huddled together and listening to the predator. I know they are safe. Then a fox with a white tipped tail leaps onto my fence from the field behind our house. It then jumps onto the roof of the chicken coop and turns to stare at me. Its eyes shine, and it looks spooky.
I was in a dark humid cave like area when my friend Dillan, walks up to me and says something about silverfish and needing a pickexe, I walk over to the wall of the (cave) and see a few of my science supplies sitting there. I pull my rock sample pick out of its sleeve and say "picks look cool with his texture pack" (I then have a black spot in my memorie) after the empty spot I remember holding a tool that looked something like a fuzion of a hammer and saw with one side a flat mallet and the other a jagged saw
Katness walks through the deep forest beyond district twelve, she begins to be followed by a large catlike creature and in acknowledgment she says "jungle cat" (yes I am reading the book, Hunger Games, however I do not know where the JUNGLE cat came from) In a second dream, I was in a store of some sort and was buying fish tank supplies, someone working there asked me if I needed bubble stones and I replied "no" I continue to browse items not really knowing what I am looking for. The person re apears and they ask me if I require a bubbler, but agin I reply "no"
