The first of three dreams on May 10th, 2011:

I am with my parents in a distorted version of the city I was raised in. It is a very hot summer and we are going to a swimming center to cool off. When we get there the swimming center has three pools in different rooms. The first room has a pool that has been converted to an ice rink, even though are are many pillars throughout, and there are hockey players in black and grey jerseys practicing on it. The second pool is huge and looks like two olympic sized pools stuck together. The thid pool in the last room is an indoor wave pool but it is closed for repairs.

My parents go to the second pool, but I go into the first room to watch the hockey. The game is just ending and workers come out and do something to the ice which makes it melt right away. Some of the players take off their hockey gear and strip down to bathing suits and jump into the icy water. I stick my feet in but am not brave enough to get in the freezing water. Soon the workers return and begin draining the pool of the water. Tables are set up around the pillars in the pool and the tables are set for eating. A catering table is brought out and set up along one side of the pool and along the farthest end (in the shallow end) many tables are set up and hundreds of soapstone sculptures are put on display.

Many people come into the first room from the other pool and begin eating. I am fascinated by the range of sculptures and ignore everything else to look closely at and admire them. There are two young men also looking at the sculpures, one middle eastern man and a caucasian man who is very handsome. I catch the eye of the caucasian man and blush and turn my attention back to the sculptures, pretending not to have been looking at the handsome man. I recognize some of the soapstone sculptures as famous one or ones that I have made myself. Some also look farmiliar though I cannot remember where I have seen them before.

Time is warped somehow. I can feel myself moving slowing and everything around me is moving very fast. People come and go for their food in a blur and soon it is nighttime and the place is empty save for a few of the hockey players and the two young men I had seen before. They invite me over to the tables around the pillars to eat and I am excited to find that sushi is being served in abundance. Time seems to warp again and seen the hockey players are gone and only the two young men and I are left. We eat as much of the leftover sushi as we can because we don't want to see it thrown away and wasted.

After we have eaten our fill I go back to the soapstone sculptures and continue admiring them. There are two peices that I am really attracted to and the handome causasian man comes over to tell me that he created those. I am speechless with awe and embarassed to recieve his attention and say nothing, but he comes and stands very close to me and shows me with great detail and intimacy how he created his work. I just stand there with my head and heart spinning and blush.

There is an explosion outside. The middle eastern man comes running inside with some people I think are his family. There are more explosions and gunfire to be heard but none of us seem to know what is going on. Suddenly soldiers in black uniforms come barging in and seperate the middle wastern people from the causasian man and I. We try to tell the soldiers that they are our friends and innocent of anything, but they will not listen to us. The sounds of fighting continure outside and soon a commander dressed in American fatigues comes in and orders the middle eastern people arrested for terrorism. Again our pleas that they are innocent are ignored and they are carted away outside.

Most of the soldiers follow the commander out, except for two, who are left to keep guard over the handsome caucasian man and I as we are placed uder house arrest and cannot leave the pool area. We huddle and shiver in fear together.

In this dream i was walking down the street with two guys. One was blond the other was brown haired and gave me a new hacky. The kid with the blonde hair took me to his house. Once you walked in through the door you would go through a closet tunnel that lead through the house. I left once I saw a few of my relatives in the house. The two guys stayed. Eventually later on in the dream I got stuck in a place that had no brick, cement or any other material like that for walls. The walls were made of cotton and were colored brightly. I was suffocating in the place and had to get out. There were 5 tunnels and a giant golden statue of somebody. I took the 2nd tunnel which lead me right back to the room I started in. so then I took the 4th tunnel and ended up fighting off the girls from the ring, the exorcist, and some other weird creature with long hair, I saw the brown haired guy in the tunnel to. I woke up after that I'd have remembered more but my brother came in in the middle of the night. I didn't want to write in front of him and look like a girl writing in my journal . i remembered nearly a whole dream when I woke up but, just wouldn't right it down. This would happen the one night i have the motivation to get up and write in the middle of the night.:? I almost became lucid when I was in the cotton room, I somehow convinced myself that all of this was real!

I was with some friends doing crazy things. Somehow we almost died and realized we weren't truly living. We decided to do something we were all scared of. We were going to go cliff diving. My friends both went first. They screamed as they jumped but came up fine and said it was super exciting. I was getting ready for what seemed like a while. I checked all the straps twice and make sure everything was tight. I ran without thinking and jumped. It was scary but not that scary. I could see all the way down. It was super deep. I started laughing and swinging around. My friends told me to be careful when swinging because I could go too high. I started going into the clouds and back down. I was scared but I was having too much fun to care. In the back of my mind I knew it was a dream. I finally decided to be pulled back up. They were slowly pulling me back up as I woke.

(Went to sleep at about 23:00 and woke up at 5:30)

Before I went to sleep i was reading on DV. One of the user said that combining the MILD- with the DILD technique and creating a mantra,repeating your objective over and over before sleeping works wonders. I decided not to focus too much on remembering my dreams (since it was getting a bit frustrating not really recalling any dreams in the first week) but instead focus on having a LD. I repeated: "Tonight, I will have a lucid dream."

I was standing on this floating platform in a house that was just drifting in Space. I could see the stars outside the house with no ground underneath it. There was a voice,almost what you would picture God to sound like, telling me that in this universe anything is possible. He said: "Here you can do anything you can dream of. Even if you feel like summoning a Venomancer (for those of you who play dota,you know...) you can do it at will." As he said that, I saw a Venomancer drifting past me on another platform. It soon dissapeared. Then this guy i knew from school walked up next to me on the floating platform. He was walking with crutches,so i assumed his leg was broken or something. He held a vortex ticket in front of me (Vortex is a trance party we have over Easter and New Years eve). I wasn't strange for him to have a ticket to a trance party,since he is a hippie type of guy. The thing was that the trance party was two weeks ago. I said: "where are you going with that? Vortex was two weeks ago." He replied with a friendly grin on his face: "No...not in this world." He turned around and walked a few steps with his crutches and stopped,dropped the crutches to the ground and said "Oh yeah, I forgot...I dont need these here." and dissapeared into a bright light.

Then another old friend of mine appeared and said that we had to go work. I felt confused and then I heard another womans voice telling me that this universe isn't all fun and play, we need to work sometimes.The dream skipped to me standing on a flat, concrete roof. It seemed as if though I was back on Earth...And then it struck me that none of this makes any sense. the only explanation is that is this is a dream.

I ran to the edge of the roof and did a RC. I looked down at my hands,not really bothering to focus on them because I already knew that was dreaming. I saw my hands were blurry and at that second, excitement just shot through me and all the colours around me just became more vibrant. I immediately thought to myself that I should try to fly. I took a few steps back and first tried to levitate. I jumped into the air, and there it was...I was hovering above the ground. I came back down again, ran to the edge of the roof and just jumped. I was flying! It was such an amazing feeling. It was so real.

As i was flying over my swimming pool, I started losing lucidity without really realising it. I think it might have been me getting a bit over-excited. The dream became less and less vivid and i started floating back to a ledge on the building. I held on there for a few seconds and flew back to the roof. When i got there,i ran up and down shouting: "I can do whatever I want, I van do whatever I want!" I saw a hole in the red, tiled roof next to me and I made my way into the hole...I woke up.

I had this growing smile on my face as I woke up, reached for my mobile to record my dream. I woke my girlfriend and told her the good news. I couln't sleep for the rest of the night, was just to excited!

Apparently my family had moved. We had moved to some somewhat shabby building that was apparently on EG, which was a slightly sketchy area. I was not pleased at all. The area was dull and there was a main road, practically almost a highway, right outside of it. I felt really unsafe there. At one point I had wanted to take a bike ride somewhere for some reason, but seeing all the shady looking kids scared me.

---

I was at school. We were apparently having a Valentine's day dance right in the school. I was walking back and forth the halls, not sure what I was doing there since I didn't ever go to the gym for the dance. There was a random snack table in the front and I kept grabbing these oreo knockoff cookies. They were really good. At one point I started flying despite not being lucid; it was sort of like I was sitting on air but treading water with my hands. As I passed down the hall Mr. P. saw me and commented on my funny way of flying.

---

I was with my sister. She was driving me somewhere in this weird little white car. We squeezed in and she put on the radio. I didn't like the music so I searched for DM on her radio thing, but it wasn't there to my disappointment.

I was in a dream at some random place. Can't remember much but it seemed pretty boring, I think I was at an office building or something.

Somehow it clued in that I was dreaming, and then I was lucid. I was trying to get into another dream inside the dream for some reason, but it wasn't working very well. I tried to will my way into it, and it started to work. But my world was a bunch of blocks, just like in MC. I wanted it to change so that it was normal, and that seemed to throw the dream off.

For a while I struggled with getting into a place that I wanted to be in. I tried flying, rubbing my hands, spinning around, a variety of things, and kept flipping between this dream inside a dream and the outer dream which tended to be a FA of me in my bed. I kept believing that the FA was not a dream, so I kept trying to get into the inner dream. Then it ended.

We're very poor and have an extremely strict budget to live on. While on our way to a food shop I notice a jewelry shop. I can't help but drool over some of the trinkets while my (ex) man waits outside. I come out, very depressed, knowing we can never afford anything in there, especially not the necklaces I love so much. I tell my man so and he drops everything, practically running into the store. I can hear him asking about second hand jewelry.

A friend that I suddenly notice with me asks me if I'm happy. I smile and say that although I think it's a nice gesture of him to do this for me, I do wish he'd have done it later while I was not here. I explain that I know he will buy something, and just come out and hand it to me, rather than saving it to give to me on Mother's Day, for example, which is in a few days. As I predict, he does just as I said he would. I ask him to take it back and give it to me on Mother's Day.

Suddenly we're mugged by a very tall man who doesn't even bother to hide his face. A fight breaks out, and its actually me that's kicking his ass while my man watches from the sidelines. I am so angry, telling the thief that his is so low for stealing from people who can't even afford to buy food. There is going to be a court case and I'm very emotional.

Dream skip and I'm at a garbage can outside that same jewelry store, sorting through what I find in there, looking for something of value. I'm shocked at my luck that I actually find something - a fairly expensive set that someone has taken a few pieces off and thrown the rest away. It looks as though they took only a few pairs of ear rings and tossed the rest, which includes some bangles and a ring. It's not really my style, all in kind of a floral print, but beggars can't be choosers, as they say. I notice a price tag that reads $124.99. I also find some ornate elephants that are covered in dirt which I wipe carefully away.

I'm in a used bookstore, and as I'm browsing the titles I come across a book that my dear friend and I bought together in waking reality. I am disturbed to realize that this is the self same book, still inscribed with our names inside the front cover. Upset, I continue looking around, getting more distraught to see that two or more of our old treasures are also here, things we bought together, like the Spirit Cards. It breaks my heart that she would give these things up, and my mind races, thinking maybe she doesn't want any reminds of me now that I am living so far away. I resolve to call her.

I am back at my Grandparent's old house in North Vancouver, that my dear friend and I nicknamed "Spider Palace". I look out the front door to see a very very large post sorting facility kind of wall thing. Kind of like over sized post boxes. I see an old man who looks like he's had a rough life and realize that I don't live in this house anymore, he's the tenant now. He checks his post at the strange post wall.

I notice now that in the drive way that he is walking up, I've placed some signs, one of which says "Open for Business". I go to get them wondering how I can change them to read "Closed for X-Mas holidays". The postman arrives and he's sorting the post. The over sized post boxes have huge pictures of cartoon characters on them, like Tweety Bird and Sylvester the Cat. I open one and put something specific into it for... my son?

Dream skip and I am talking to my man. I plan to ride a horse north for some reason, and I am asking him if he thinks the horse will run too fast.

Me and my friend were singing on the streets but our singing was heard at my schools auditorium. Weird. So we sand and suddenly there was an alarm. We thought that the building was in fire but from the speakers a voice said : "There are dangerous poison gases in the building. Get out!". So we ran and i was wondering when did i enter the building, i was just outside and now in. But there was no time to wonder, we ran outside and our school director was pushing a car away from the school lol. Finally everyone was out and a firetruck came to take out the poisonous gases.

I was walking on the street with an empty head, i saw a woman sit on the bench. I approached her and she gave me an ice cream. So we talked about stuff and i found out that she likes a band that i like too. So we talked about their concerts and stuff. She said that she was 30, but spiritually 29, i had no idea what she meant my that. When we finished our ice creams we took 2 more from a close by ice cream parlor and walked towards my school. As soon as we reached my school, she just said goodbye and i woke up.

I was at my cousin's place, she and her friend were playing a game, in which one had to fly up above the trees and through the circles in the air. They had big problems with it but i did it in an instance. Easy.
They were both amazed and thought that i was a natural professional who can fly.

I only have vague fragments where I was sitting in the principals office, ratting on some people. The culprits were sittting in front of me, so everything was awkward. They looked sad and scared.

Method DILD
Lucidity C
Vividness C
Control C
Not sure what triggered me to become lucid. I was doing something unusual and thought: wait, I must be dreaming! So I become lucid and, as usual lately, I'm not prepared with a plan. I look around and, much to my surprise, I see SO, an former coworker with whom I had an awkward romantic encounter. She is walking away from me and there a few other random DCs around. I take a few quick steps to catch up to SO and turn her around by the shoulders to face me. Her face looks sad or aged, like she has been crying. She smiles at me. I think I say something to her but I don't remember what.

Then I turn and grab another woman next to me. She is blond and attractive. I rip open her buttoned blouse. SO is still in my mind. I'm not sure why I turn to this other woman. Maybe I am trying to make SO jealous? Anyway, then I focus more on the blond and have sex. It was just okay. I was focusing on the visual detail, which was quite vivid. But in retrospect, ignoring the tactile sensation makes for not the best sex.

Dream - Lucid

I remember being with my coworker, Dakota. He and I were going through some kind of video game scenario where I had to collect 160 items (they were just a bunch of random items).

We were running through an old building. The building had 3 stories. I could get to the first two easily. I did so as I ran through the hallways, collecting all the items. When I finished doing that, I realized I still was lacking about 30 items. I remember asking Dakota how I could get to the third story. I don't remember what he said, but after that, I got to the third story and collected the rest of the items.

I remember being on vacation. I think Mary Katherine was there. I remember swimming in a pool outside on a sunny day. Then, I remember something about exploding cats in the pool. Belle, my kitten, was one of them. I was mad at my mom for killing the cats. I also remember something about different pools being open at different times. I remember dreading the end of my vacation.

I also remember being able to breathe underwater as I swam in the pool. It was supposed to be something called "circular breathing" (something I learned about when I was in band in waking life). I could breathe through my nose under the water if I did it a certain way.

I remember waking up in the middle of swimming and breathing underwater.

I was in a hair salon. I was supposed to be getting my hair cut (which I desperately need to do in waking life -_-). I sat down in a chair, and the lady asked me what I wanted. I told her
"Just a trim, to get rid of these janky highlights."
I then asked her if layers would look good, and she told me she didn't think so. I told her to skip the layers then.

The lady then proceeded to dump a bowl of milk on my head to wet my hair. I thought that was weird. It was apparently supposed to be healthy for your hair. I remember feeling the cold of the milk spilling over my head and down onto the smock that they had put on me. She then combed it out and started cutting away. I noticed that she was cutting it way too short. I heard her say something about a bob cut. I told her to please not do that. She laughed and said she wasn't.

She finished hacking off my hair, and it actually looked quite nice. The back was covered in bright orange, yellow, and red highlights, though they were only temporary colors. I put my hair up in a ponytail. It really looked good! I remember seeing my coworker, Kim, and she said she really liked my hair. I told her thank you.

I walked up to the counter to pay. No one was there. I waited...and waited...and waited. Still, no one showed up. I decided to leave. I'm not going to sit here and wait to pay if no one's gonna come take my money. As I started to leave, this HUGE, long tongue of some beast whipped out of nowhere and smacked me. If I tried to move, it would try to hit me. It was kind of freaky. The tongue also looked like it had been injured; it looked like the pink skin had been peeled back on half of it to reveal a white interior. Ew.

So I guess this was weird, because I realized I must be dreaming. I did a finger count to make sure...6 fingers on my left hand. I decided I needed to get out of there, it was such a silly situation. I remember seeing Kacey and laughing, telling her to come with me. She looked different, however. Her hair was darker and her face just looked different. She didn't follow me as I flew into the air.

I remember flying through some casino or arcade. I would fly up through the roof, and then down back into the building. I didn't want to lose the dream.

Then, I remember being back at the hair salon where the giant tongue was. I remembered that I had wanted to try to use my new portal system to try to visit Teraluna. I approached a wall and drew a circle. Hmm, too small. I drew another one, and it seemed big enough. I wrote "Teraluna" inside of it, and colored the circle in.

I jumped through into a black room. In front of me to my right was an opening into another place. I entered it. I was in some condo by the beach. I took off and flew out of the room. I smiled as I flew over a beautiful landscape of flowing waters, trees, and other plants. All of the colors were very vivid. The water was some of the clearest water I have ever seen in my life. The lighting told me that it must be dusk.

I decided to follow the flow of the water to the ocean. I flew over creeks, small lakes, and rivers, and finally got to the ocean. It looked like dusk over the calm sea. I laughed and said
"This is Teraluna!"
I did some finger counts while I was here, and I always counted 5 fingers, though I still knew I was dreaming.
It was so beautiful!

I was at the ocean. I think I had given my brother a small video camera that you could clip on.
I was on my computer, watching what the video camera saw. I trained the camera on a young lady
riding a surf board in on her stomach.

I looked for the camera to see how I could look down and point and zoom in exactly where I wanted.
I found the camera was clipped onto a sailboat. I have a friend who's father just bought a 24' sailboat for my friend to stay on in San Francisco.

I was able to control the camera, and zoomed in on the surfer. She was wearing a read bikini. I tried
to see her breasts, but no luck. Then I checked out some other ladies, but couldn't see anything there
either.

Then I was in a lake. I was holding on to a jeep that was floating in the water like a dock. The water
under the jeep was cold. Someone was poking fun at me because I needed to hold on to the jeep. I can swim, but I don't like the water. I wasn't really upset by the guy, but I decided to show him I could swim.

I gave him a waterproof, handheld video camera and told him to video me. I gave him time to hit the play button, but I almost dove off before he had time to record me. I gave him just a second, then without
hesitation I did a back dive into the water. Very uncharacteristic of me in waking life.

I seemed do dive down really deep. I had plenty of breath, but got nervous anyway. As I swam, I felt my body at an angle like I never started to level off or head back up, so I started swimming upward to get air.
I swam and swam and started getting nervous. Finally I did come up for air, but that is where the dream ended.
