I frequently went to a small Italian restaurant which had a little patio outside with tables and chairs. I was walking through the patio and saw some bread in a basket on one of the tables. I talked to the people at the table for a few seconds and then took the bread and ran. The streets were old and dirty and possibly looked like Italy. One of the chubby waiters ran after me, yelling for the bread back. When he finally caught up to me he was very friendly and understanding and told me that I should come back tomorrow and sit down and have a meal but I was too embarrassed and I knew I would never come back there again.
I was in bed and there was a blackboard on the wall across from me. I was studying for a French test. Then my dad came in and asked how it was going and then proceeded to write some French on the board and teach it to me. I was uncomfortable.
I was buying new curtains for my room for college which for some reason was a slightly different room for the second semester. More of a long rectangular shape. We asked for the beds to be un-bunked and they were but now they were all in a row next to each other right next to the door which none of us liked. While I was buying curtains E was there talking and sports and I said I wanted to join one maybe. She seemed to think this idea was ridiculous and tried to talk me out of it. A kid on the baseball team was also there arguing with his mother about his room and about baseball.
1/12/11 - Wall-Walking Dream Non-dream Lucid Yay finally, a fun little lucid! I don't remember how I got lucid, but I definitely knew I was dreaming. I was at the front door of my house, and there was a big bubble on the porch. I jumped into the air, and floated/air-swam over to the bubble, and pulled it back into the house with me and closed the door. Will was there, and I'd been trying to impress him, though I knew he was a DC. I gave him the bubble and he left. Remembering a scene from the movie Inception, I decided to try and walk up a wall, and change my perspective a bit - almost like turning the room sideways. I looked around for a good wall to use, and found that my dad's office was perfect, with walls and areas of ceiling at varying angles. I saw my dad sitting at his desk and asked him, "Can I walk on your walls? It is my dream." He just nodded and smiled, so I turned to the wall and walked straight at it, then stepped onto it and walked straight up. It took some concentration, but the room's gravity seemed to shift. The wall I was on became my floor. I proceeded to walk all over the walls and ceiling, enjoying it very much. At some point I decided to get rid of all gravity, and just float around. I did lots of flips and turns, enjoying the way it made the room spin, and the overall weightlessness of it. I then started talking to my dad about it, and he said something about a baseball team, which confused me. I rolled over in bed and woke up. Maybe next time I'll remember to do something productive.
I am at an art gallery with AC and SP, and we are joking about buying this huge pricey painting. They are talking to a lady that works there. My dad is there, and we start painting an abstract of a family sitting at a table. ... Something about my 92 year old great aunt not being well..
12 Jan 2011 My [deceased] parents and I are on a clifftop overlooking a local beach. It's night time and the moon is very low in the sky, illuminating the whole scene. We discuss how beautiful it is. Then I find myself swimming in the ocean below with lots of other people. It's now a warm and sunny day. Suddenly, a lifeguard on the beach gets a radio call and dives into the ocean. He swims toward a young boy who appears to be drowning, and drags him back to safety. At this point I start to feel lighter and, pushing the boundaries of what seems possible, I find that by kicking my legs furiously I can rise up out of the water. Soon I am virtually walking on it, having only my feet below the surface. Interpretation: This seems to be about gaining mastery over my emotions (the low moon, for example, followed by a rising up from the sea (of emotion?). If both the drowning boy and the lifeguard are aspects of myself, then it makes sense that I should feel 'lighter', once the boy had been rescued. Notes: The dream also had a feeling of OILD about it (Options Induced Lucid Dream). It's a technique that I've been developing and experimenting with for a couple of weeks now. It basically works on the premise that 99% of our reactions in life (and assumptions about it) are entirely robotic (conditioned responses), and that there are, therefore, ALWAYS other options available - only we don't usually consider them. The technique, then, involves constantly observing - and, most importantly, questioning - one's reactions, especially when confronted by apparent obstacles, conflicts, limitations or fear-based situations. Inherent to this, of course, is discerning where one is. However, unlike a basic RC, the value of actually questioning one's programmed reactions (and breaking free of those reactions in daily life) is becoming increasingly apparent to me. Whilst people may not have limitless options in waking reality, in terms of being able to walk on water, etc, we certainly do have many more options than our 'auto-pilot' permits us to realise. Needless to say, the constant questioning of one's reactions and limitations, in the pursuit of greater freedom, carries over into dreams. And this is what I got a sense of as I was flapping about in the water. For some people, automatic and uncontrolled aggression is an aspect of their programming; their auto-pilot. For most, however, I feel that timidity is the 'problem' - that we simply go along to get along. The degree to which one may want to substitute timidity for boldness obviously depends upon the situation (and crucially, whether one is dreaming or not). But it's precisely in the establishing of this fact that greater freedom and lucidity are achieved, not only in dreams, but in waking reality as well. A recent (unrecorded) dream went something like this: I was back in school and the teacher began handing out packets of crisps, which we weren't allowed to eat until break-time. He then issued a stern reminder not to secretly eat them in class, which I recognized as a conflict (a limitation of my freedom), and so began considering other options. This led to the realisation that I was dreaming. And so, standing up, I confidently uttered the following words: "Not only will I eat my crisps now, but I'll also eat yours, and I'll do so right in front of your face." Had I been using this technique during my actual school days (instead of merely going through the motions on auto-pilot), I would surely have been a lot less timid. In fact, after receiving an unjust detention (for example), I may, having questioned my options, have said something to the effect of: "Not only will I not be coming to your detention, sir, but if you ever issue me one again, I'll tell my parents that you've been touching me inappropriately." (Whilst I wouldn't have actually made any false accusations, it would surely have put the fear of God into the teacher). OILD - Because there's ALWAYS another option!
7 January 2011 I was at a university (where i used to study many moons ago) and walked from the one side to the other side around the university grounds. As i walked it became darker and darker. I came across lots of Acacia trees and in the middle was an opening where a fire was burning. The university was still visible in the back ground in daylight. I saw 4 people, i standing and the rest sitting around the fire. There were a flash of light and it felt like I had sand in my eyes - struggling to see and walking towards the fire. There the 4th person who was standing all the time shouted at me to get away and actually pulled me away to avoid me touching the 3 dead bodies that laid scorching on the ground. Needless to say, I could not sleep after this.
Date: 11/1/11 (<Awesome date ) Lucid Non-lucid Decided to get back into lucid dreaming and start my dream journal again. I sort of had to put it aside because of how hectic school became but my New Year's resolution was to have at least one more lucid dream this year!!! ---------- I was in an indoor car impound lot. Well I wasn't really in it but was watching it like a movie. There was scary and suspenseful music. A young girl in a white dress who looked to be about 10 was walking through the cars. Her older brother wasn't far behind. Gibbs from NCIS stood up on a raised platform at the back of the building, watching them and laughing. The girl ran her hand along a white car and twirled around laughing. She ran away as her brother began to chase her. Her brother touched the same car that his sister had and it suddenly exploded. It wasn't a big explosion but it was big enough to destroy the car and Gibbs' son with it. Gibbs had a shocked expression on his face and the image froze and faded to black. ---------- I was in a school - not one I've ever been to before. But me and my friend, Jessie were there together. Nothing was mentioned but I knew that everyone at this school, including us, was being kept prisoner by the teachers. Jessie and I had established a sort of 'nest'area where we stashed forbidden goods. The goods included chocolate, which we were forbidden to have and Jessie had never even heard of it until I smuggled some into the school. On this particular day, Mr B, arrived in the carpark. In real life Mr B is one of my teachers but in the dream he was just a friend. He pulled up in his car and Jessie and I ran over to it. I peered into the boot and saw some soft drink (another forbidden good) and chocolate. "Jess! Look at this!" I said and pointed to it. Jessie gasped. "Mr B! Can we have some?" she asked in an excited but hushed voice. Mr B looked around cautiously and then nodded and popped the boot. We pulled it open and leant in, stuffing our faces with chocolate and soft drink. "Girls, what are you doing?" we heard the head mistress call out. We quickly put down the food and drinks and looked back to her, over the rooves of some of the other cars. She couldn't have seen what we were doing. "Just saying hello to Mr B!" I replied. "Come back at once!" she called. Jessie quickly ran back and I stood there for a moment trying to think of a way I could smuggle back the soft drink but I didn't end up doing it and joined Jessie back near our nest. Later, there was another chance and we made a dash to the car and finished up the chocolate and soft drink. When we returned to the building however, the head mistress was standing out the front with her hands on her hips. "Been eating chocolate have we?" she asked and Jessie and I remained silent. "Show me where the rest is," she demanded. Meekly we took her to our nest where Jessie leant in as if looking for more chocolate but I could see her quickly gobbling up the rest. "There is nothing here," she said to the head mistress. "Okay," the head mistress complied and left. "Phew! That was close!" I said. Despite days of immersing myself in different techniques and being completely positive that they would work I haven't had success yet but I'm sure I will soon!!!!

11.01.2011Psychokinesis, Sky-train and my wife. Dream Sharing extremely likely. (DILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Finally I am settle and I hope I can start writing down my dreams daily again. My recall did not get affected. I recalled four dreams, but I was too tired to write a lot of detail. Fourth: I was working in a store and realized it did not look like the Pata Negra store where I work at. I turned lucid. My lucidity was not really awesome and I was not thinking straight. I knew I was dreaming, however, I was mixing planes. I wanted to sweep a piece of the store. I was hopping if I swept the store in the dream plane, I would do it as well on the physical plane and I would not need to do it when I woke up and go to work. I exited the store and I met my wife. I wanted to find a broom (buy or steal one) to clean that up. I told my wife we were in a dream and I was looking for the broom. My wife did not acted dumb like a regular dream character. I entered the store once more and it looked like the checkout area of a grocery store. I realized that it was impossible to change the physical plane from the dream plane. I left the store and my wife was still there. I saw a rail really high in the sky. The day was very sunny and the sky was very blue. I was talking with my wife and I felt it could be a dream share because she did not vanish when I entered the store, and she could talk and think on her own. I flew a little bit to make my dream stable. After a while, we walked into a crowded area. I found several dream characters. I remembered reading at DV's that someone wanted to use psychokinesis on a random dream character. I rose my hand and tried it. It first did not work, however, when I tried again I could move a female dream character at will. I made her levitated and decided to turn her into a Pink teddy bear. I succeeded and gave the teddy bear to my wife. We saw the tracks and I though it was going to be an awesome view. I found some dream characters waiting in line for paying. My wife suggested we did the same, but I told her we were going to jump in without paying, it was a dream afterall. My wife was not convinced but followed me. I climbed some ladders and jumped on the train. An alarm started to sound and my wife worried more. I told her to just ignore the menace and it would vanish. The cops walked by us, but as we ignored them, they kept searching. The dream vanished and I woke up. I woke up and asked my wife if she recalled her dreams (she almost never does) She told me she could have dreamed with me and something about a train. I asked her if she had more dream memory recall, but she did not. Missed dream signs: - None. Spotted dream signs: - Working at a odd store.
11.01.2011El Pollo Loco gross-out (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Finally I am settle and I hope I can start writing down my dreams daily again. My recall did not get affected. I recalled four dreams, but I was too tired to write a lot of detail. Third: I was driving with my wife heading to El Pollo loco (a Mexican style KFC) We were going to complete a mystery shop at this location. When we arrived, I was surprised, because instead of finding the usual establishment, we found a kiosk. The kiosk was very small and there were three ladies. I requested 10 pieces of legs and thighs. The place did not look like they were selling chicken. The lady walked towards a dumpster. Three guys came out from the dumpster and pulled a whole chicken (but as big as a turkey) from the dumb. It was already made, but it had trash all around. The lady handed the chicken. It smelled bad and look grossly. I complained about such gross chicken. She told me that instea of charging $46 she was going to charge $32. She informed me they had no more chicken and it was all I could get. Missed dream signs: - Such weird Pollo Loco. - The whole scenario from the dumpster.
11.01.2011Small Mexican street. (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Finally I am settle and I hope I can start writing down my dreams daily again. My recall did not get affected. I recalled four dreams, but I was too tired to write a lot of detail. Second: I was walking with my wife in a street. There were several Mexican stores and people. I found a grocery store that only sold Coronita beer and limes. My wife told me that such stores were not good, that no one can live on Coronita Beer and limes. A few steps later, I found a grocery store. It looked old school but it had a lot of produce. I pointed it out and informed my wife that they had such stores. We walked for a while more and we found several different stores. Missed dream signs: - A store that only sold Coronita and Limes.
11.01.2011Where is my deck? (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Finally I am settle and I hope I can start writing down my dreams daily again. My recall did not get affected. I recalled four dreams, but I was too tired to write a lot of detail. First: I was at John's (a friend of mine) We were playing Magic, The Gathering at one of our game nights. For an odd reason, I was in a different room, away from everybody. I had a few cards in front of me and while it was not my turn, I found an old folder inside my backpack (where I do keep the cards) Inside the folder, I found a bundle of $20 bills and another one of $10. I was so happy I found that money and I was going to call my wife. Suddenly, it was my turn and all my cards were gone. I could not find my deck nor my cards at all. I was worried because I did not know where my Library of Alexandria and other very expesive cards I own were. I browsed all around without success. The game had to end, as I had no deck. John got mad at me because I was not at the table with them, but on another room. Missed dream signs: - Playing in a different room. - Finding hard-cash inside my back pack. - My deck vanishing into oblivion.

Dreams January 5th- Space Jam In this dream I am not lucid but go on a fun an exciting journey with a friend. First we are at some sort of old ranch area where we are playing tag with other wrestlers. I am on a skatbeboard runnning away griding rails as I run by. Finally we get to one area that we are not supposed to go sense its to crazy so me an a friend immediatley go and it takes us to this large broken down city with millions of kids our age. The leader some adult like our religion teacher asks who has done drugs everyone raises their hands. One kid volunteers to share his story about crack cocain and how he lived in Fiddlestown (the town I had just came from) I went with the kid back into his memorey and saw three fine girls walking by. I said to my self if only I had showered maybe then id have a chance with this girls. We are near a fire station near a food store the girls are going to get food. I see my friend who used cocain run towards the fire truck . I follow and before you know it I was suiting up in a firemans suit stealing a fire truck. The girls are impresed and come up to say hi in a different language so I yell bitchhhes and drive away. My friend laughs in a british accent. We go on to do all sorts of crazy stunts together like flipping an atv and lots of stuff but its not till the final stage that it gets crazy. We are in a dark wareshouse with a knock on the door. We open it and its afire man from Fiddletown at first we laugh but then we realize the man has dissapeared. I peer outside and realize were surrounded by cops. My friend says he realizes what he must do, and begins to run outside. I see myself as him nd now can see through his perspective . I am running through bushes being shot at by many cops and tackled by people I keep on trucking waiting to reach the edge of the cliff we were located on. Nothing hurt anyllonger and when I finally fell I heard my sister say poor kid he was so nice his mom ms rosenburg was so nice and his family. As if I was dead. I kept falling and falling and then the dream shifted and now iw as just floating in space. I was with my mom and sister and we were looking at all the cool space colors up above. I saw tons of action up their like a whole nother world and my mom tickled my feet and I laughed nd said stop. My sister gave me a blunt and I smoked it until my friend jerry showed up with his sis and mom. I gave his sister some candy I had and went with jerry to smoke the blunt he grabed it from me skiping my sis in rotation but mell didn’t mind. I grabed it back then woke up by my alarm. Amazing space dream. January 5th 2011- That girl I was sneaking a friend onto a plane and told the stourteus wed show him the pass port later. We looked around and found open seats and sat down. I got up and wandered around the plane some more and eventaully got lost. The dream shifted and I was at my house again and so was carolina and all her friends. I talked to my mom first then after all the girls came in my room after I was done changing. The girls told me to take pictures with carolina so I did and she snuggled up close to me an we took the first one. Next she laid one direction and I laid the other then someone put a cal longboard skate board in the middle of us and took another one. I noticed we were both wearing cal sweatshirts. She said she had to go and thad she pick me up in thirty minutes. I showered at ryans and Blanca kept yelling at me to get out of the shower so ryan could get in and so I did and she told me it had been 30 minutes but I ddint wory bout it. That’s pretty much it
a Tasks of the Month The Void My new dream goal for this month is finding the black void of space mentioned by some in DV's DJ's. It gets a very rare mention but I do know of it myself but have overlooked it. I see it as a great place from which to control dreams and do a lot of other things. It seems like this space is a kind of control room of our dreams. From here you can create, connect, look over, or enter any dream! There is a white space connected to this but that's for another time as the control room is where all the action is. aShort Haired Girl I also intend to find out more about the short haired girl. She doesn't seem like a dream guide and may even be a possible me. I asked to see myself in the mirror and expected it too but when I looked I saw her! She put on a big grin and smiled and waved at me and said "Hi" in a super happy and excited way. Everything she says surprises me and usually cuts off my train of thought. She is the only one doing this, and is reoccurring as well, so I need to find out more.
Weird first off i'm in a basement lying down with my ear to a door and listening to loud music. A guy that looks like my dad walks in and goes to a garage... He has a harsh vibe but also seems friendly, so I stay to chat. Later i'm upstairs in a dining room quite like one in a house I use to live in as a child. Asuka and another japanese woman come out of a room. This woman is Named linda. She sits across from me but some other guy talks to her. Music starts and everyone starts dancing in a weird way. I show off a bit.
