This is my first entry, and my first time in any sense attempting to record a dream, having had one. It's only recently I began remembering my dreams, and only that because of a brief reading about lucid dreaming. I'll start backwards because it'll help me remember: The final segment was my mother revealing some information about the downfall of a friend of mine's family. In real life this friend of mine I saw last night at a party and he is headed off to the Cayman Islands to teach Cello - maybe that was why he was in my head. It was just an oblique about the success of this guy's older brother, who displayed great academic achievement, as opposed to some of the other siblings who were more along the lines of great musical achievement. He was already publishing articles as head boy at the private school he went to - before the family collapsed. I suppose all this provoked in me was an extra sense of sadness at all the potential some of these kids had, and the distruption their various life trajectories underwent, as they ended up having their home life and family taken out from underneath them, and the effects this has had on them. All this was being told me on the day before a set of exams I had to do, which stayed with to the point I was sitting on the dewed grass of a green that was familiar yet unfamiliar of a university which was similar yet different to the one I went to. Then interestingly came a focus to my own home. Which was unrecogniseable and yet familiar. It was labyrinthine, with loads of rooms I had never seen before and yet which seemed vaguely familiar. One which sticks in my head was a cored nursery which was the only room which looked unused but was being kept for that purpose for some peculiar reason. Maybe because my mother still hopes sooner or later a cousin on or somesuch will bring a child over. Then comes the basement, which seems to have been where I was. It seems to have been some kind of a workshop for me. It was full of wooden cutout figures that had painted faces; curiously grotesque and horrific yet comical and almost funny as well. It was darkly lit and mostly cement, with a cool, almost wet sense to the air. A backdoor to the basement opened out to a dry desert road going around the side of a mesa. On a layby slightly below this road I was building a very large gattling gun out of rather ineffectual materials. In some cases there was metal, bullets, cables, things which in themselves seemed to overheat and break far too quickly. Meanwhile some important structural parts of the machine were being done in cardboard, and I didn't see how strange that was. Anyway that's it in reverse order.
Since this is my first entry, I will start with the last dream I wrote down in my physical dream journal. Ray and I were canoing down a river in the middle of the afternoon. I jumped out of the canoe and swam to shore. In the distance I saw an island (called "Monkey Island" in the dream). I wanted us to go there. It was huge with large mangrove roots sprawling all around and a large central tree bursting from the center. As I reached shore I noticed the water began rising. I was losing places I could hold onto or stand on, and remember being afraid of alligators in the water. That was when I saw my dad on his sailboat and my brother on the shoreline opposite of me. I swam over to them and that is when lucidity hit me. I decided to do a little exploring so I dove beneath the surface of the river and saw the one of the most beautiful landscapes my mind has ever come up with. I was underwater, yes, but everything was crystal clear as if it were air and it wasn't exactly underwater because I saw birds flying down there as well. To be more accurate there were dolphins, stingrays and other water-life swimming/flying through the area, along with those birds. The land below all of it looked extremely similar to the grand canyon. It was absolutely stunning. I resurfaced and grabbed my sister Ashley. I told her to come down underwater with me and we both went together. We were having a great time. A large group of stingrays headed straight for my sister and I remember she was hurrying to get out of their way - afraid of being stung. But they just brushed by her gently. Several platypi did circles around me and swam away. I can't explain the feeling of it all, just that it was wonderful and innocent, like the feeling a child would get about going to the beach for the first time. After spending some time down there, Ashley and I got out and discovered a nice house built into the cliffside next to the river. We entered it and as we did the house broke itself off and began slowly drifting away, as if it were being held up by balloons. I looked at her and said "Isn't this exciting. Our journey is about to begin.". By this time it was already evening and we were passing over many houses with their lamp-posts on. I looked around the house and made the dream become more clear. I told my sister that I loved her. She replied "Aw, I love you too." I then said "You know we are dreaming right?" She gazed out the window and said "I know." I looked at her and asked "Well...Will you remember all of this when we wake up?" She just grinned at me and gave me a face that said I already knew. This wasn't the real her. She couldn't remember something she wasn't actually doing. SO that's that. I woke up shortly after. I didn't manipulate any of this... I just lucidly went with the flow of the dream.

Another WBTB Fail. WBTB Time: 6/7 Hours Problem: Too awake Next atempt: 4/5 Hours
After more than a week without any lucids, I finally had one, but it was very short. My alarm wasnt doing a very good job at waking me up, so, last night I slept without it. I was dreaming a dream about wrestling and suddenly I found myself awake, in my bed. I relaxed, and counted to 10. I then felt that feeling again, it felt nice. I'm now in my dream. I say to myself: "Let's do this" As I get up. Theres one problem, though. I can't open my eyes they seem to be glued together. I tried rubbing them, and it worked. I then looked at my hands and they looked blurry, very blurry. I rubbed them and they felt sweaty. My eyes then quicly shut closed and I woke up. Short, but it's nice to have one after a while
What's Mine is Mine! Recall: 6/10 Sleep: Good Sleep Position: UnknownI find a chest plate and other armor, and put it on as I walk down the street. Along with the armor, there is a children's toy, one of those ball poppers on wheels you push along with a stick. There are several pieces to it, and I put them in, which makes it look kind of weird. Then I realize I have no shirt or coat on, and it's winter. My skin is practically blue, and I turn around to look where my coat is. I see it about two blocks back on the sidewalk. I put down the toy and head back to collect my coat, but before I get there I see a truck pull up. A guy gets out and walks over and picks up my toy thing. He heads back to his truck and I cut him off telling him that they toy thing belongs to me. He ignores me and tries to get back in his truck. I tell him again that it's mine, and demand he give it back, but he doesn't comply. So I walk up to him and give him a surprise kick in the shin. The guy predictably doubles over and I knee him in the face, straightening him up again, them pummel him with punches. I love how I have almost no inhibitions in dreams.

Lucid Non-lucid 8/15/11 (on vacation so wrote down late) i was at school, in the office with mr. crowley. he sent me down to the chapel with the nun (the chapel switched locations with the caff in this dream. we went down the stairs and told me that jesus said that if you believe you can eat poison and live, and she wanted to test her faith. she took a pill, foamed and collapsed. i freaked out, but she got up and laughed and said it was a joke. i went on without her. under the school there was a big church. i looked at it and thought that it was so beautiful and big and that god must exist. then i knew something was wrong. and then i also realized that the church wasnt part of the actual school, and became lucid. at this point i started having sex with someone (wont say who but seemed appropriate at the time). i realized that since i was lucid i could have someone hotter, and i may have pulled up a computer screen (or that was just later) and got a hotter girl. she had bright clothes on and i took some off and started. in this dream i did feel something and even though i had low lucidity and no deffinant point of realization, i remembered to stay calm and not wake up, and i did last a little while longer than usual. after that i wanted to do a girl i knew, so i stopped what i was doing and pulled a fb page out of the air and found a picture of a few girls i like hanging out at a pool or lake or something. i was planning to go in, but one girl was missing, and idk why i didnt just go for the other hot girls, ii think i just wanted what i couldnt have. i kept looking for her and woke up.
i got drunk last night and had a terrible time sleeping longer than a couple hours and didnt really dream, but i did remember a dream from the night before I was in some old farmhouse with my friend jamie. his uncle and aunt where there and they owned the place. we were staying with them. We decided it would be good to take otu the old model t ford he had. We go in the and the gear shift was on the dash. there was drive reverse and park and the shift moved horizontally. So we drive to the store pick up some eggs and decide its time to go egging, drive to a neighbourhood which has no streets and start making are way through the darkness. by the time we choose a house to finally egg the sun is up and the neighbours start coming outside to see what were doing. my friend doesnt notice them and is standing infront of a house with his arm cocked back ready to throw the egg. im wishing in my head he will hear me as i try not to yell out that he has an egg in his hand. he tosses it so lightly that the egg doesnt crack and touches the door and rolls off the grass. all the neighbours just charged us and we ran outta there. hoped in the car and i gunned it. All of a suden jamie jumps out into this ditch. i pulll the car into it put it into park and call out for him. he is having ahissy fit or something so but i manage to get him back in. Throw that baby in drive and we are ripping down the highway at over 200km. he is worried that we will get pulled over so i slow down. I dont remember much after the drive but man the speed on that car was fun as anything!
I was standing in a hallway of my sisters house. The hallway was not well lit. I fell a bug crawling on my hand.....I shake it off. I notice there are bugs all over the floor. I raise my gaze to get a good look of where I am. I see figures on the floor covered in bugs who I know to be my sister and her dad. There trying to shake the bugs off but are trying in vain. I know my 2 nieces are behind the door to the right and I run in panicked trying to save them from the bugs. They were calmly standing in their room unaware of what was going on outside their room. Their ok. My panic calms. I wake up.
I dreamed of someone that looked like "upgrade" off of "ben 10" I've also dreamed of simon handing me the clear insert to his "omnitrix" toy and it fell apart into pieces in my hands a couple days before this dream.
Wow, about an hour after reading every ones dreams I stopped my cleaning and hurried back to this phone to check something, Ug! It wasn't there. This morning when I first typed my dreams into this note application on this phone. I went to post, here, but my phone wouldn't connect. So I closed the phone, took the battery out, put it back in and turned the phone back on to try again. But When I went to copy my note from my note application, the note wasn't there. Bum, I hadn't saved it. I quickly re-did it and posted, here, but I forgot to mention my waking hipnagogic image. It was a white round ball. Then the white round ball developed faint creases. The creases were mauve, (soft, light, purple). That's all. But, with great excitement, I declare (!!!) That white ball was gradually turning into the image of your future city, WakingNomad. Well It didn't get very far But,But,But. I will slow down and gently hold-on to my waking hipnagogic images from now on.
Randoman's Dream im like this tiny animal like a mercat and im trying to protect my yongr the envierment keep changing and it makes it hard to stay away from this panther; it has gold fur then there this minkey that a boxer.He has really toned mucles and the panther turns in to a monky to it just gold and they all jump in this small shelter thats has no roof it small as a out house.They jump in threw the roof;then this mana ray spoops in from the scy and go in.It shakes a lot then i see the gold mokry get puch and he it the saide of the shelter and the wall brakes a little then it brakes all the way and the monky comes out and grabs the gold one around the neck and thows him into the water so he drownds then he throws the mata ray at him so he will get electracuted. then he just sit on a ledge next to a walk way.

debrahjane's Dream Little boy wanted kitten or puppy or something as a pet. Then, later he came back to get my attention and pointed at the door. Then in through the door came lots of lovely kittens. They went under the kitchen table and when I went over to take a closer look there were 5 or 8 puppies with eyes closed, sort of, cuddling the kittens. I said to the boy, "Look Labradoodle's". Then, I wondered why I said that cos they weren't Labradoodle's. I said, "Oh, there not Labradoodle's they're Labrador puppies". He, or maybe it was me, imagined a 5 inch fence around three sides of the bottom of the kitchen table, to help keep the babies corralled for the night. Then I noticed a little 5 inch trench at the back. I was happy for the little boy to have his kittens and puppies but who's (the mug who'll be) going to clean-up all the pee and poop in the morning. Then two tiny cheecky hawks, (or tiny black birds) were quizzically looking at me. I held out my finger and one of then flew and landed on it, then stretched out into my hand looking at me. The other didn't come to me. I thought to myself, "The first thing a pet must learn, is to come when called, for its own safety." And that's it, intrepid Chicken Itza travellers.

Evolventity's Dream August 20, 2011 (Regular Dream) | Fell asleep by 4:30AM, woke up ~8AM, asleep at 10:30AM and woke up fully at 1:50PM. -It's day time. I notice a crowd of bikers have arrived, it's like a convention. As I'm walking to my apartment door, two bikers back up into a parking spot near me. The dream glitches and they are on the sidewalk just in front of my door. I try to throw something into the dirt, like a piece of gum, and it hits the biker chick on the back. I say sorry but she gets off of her bike and begins complaining. She is 80 years old and has a horrible fake tan. I tell her not to kick me and she kicks her foot in the air and says "kick kick kick." I continue moving backward, and our dialogue is repeated many times, until I am near the apartment mailboxes across the parking lot and next to the garbage bins. Mancon comes along and says he's going to upload this in the main #DV room. I figure this lady and I are in a PM. (Skip) Instead of bikers inhabiting the complex, I now feel like they are DJ's and CD's are about to be burned. Images of colorful CD's being duplicated and enlarged fill my vision. (Regular Dream, Fragment) -I'm on M*s laptop again and notice the layout is distorted from messing with the source code. The text has changed and there is no memory on the drives. There is an option to kill and fix the computer, which I click. (Regular Dream, Fragment) -I'm laying in bed with M* in an unknown house or apartment, seemingly in a dining room-like area near a kitchen. We're enjoying our time together when my friend K*G* walks in with a crowd of friends whom are quite loud. Because M* is skittish around people like my friends, he tries getting up to leave and cries. I try to hold him with me. I stand up and explain to Kayla that he is shy. (Lucid Dream, DILD) -I'm hovering in the air above the black asphalt in the parking lot of my apartment complex. Luckily this LD has occurred in the day time. I continue to float around 5 feet in the air towards the main street through the less-steep road. As I slowly pass some bushes, I touch them and think how beautiful this moment is. I also wonder what other dreamers would think of simply enjoying the scenery in a dream. I turn the corner and see an attractive guy with black hair turn into the complex in a grey sports car. Even though he's gone I ask him why he did so in such a manner. He gave me a reply that I do not recall. I continue in the air up the street. I see a little black girl on the sidewalk who seems to need help. As I go to her, I acknowledge how I am using my arms like wings, in a robust but slow kind of way. I think that that the physical sensation of this is what has kept me lucid for the time I have been flying. My slight pessimism kicks in and I take a look at my hands to make sure I'm stabilized. I worry a bit about losing the dream. I address the girl and see she is wearing a yellow shirt with the letter "M", meaning McDonalds, on the front. I say "You are delicate." I try to pick her up to fly with me and lose my lucidity. Wake up.
Make a long story short, babysitting sucks. Anyway my shows are on tonight so I doubt I will dream tonight though it is known to happen.
