6.30-7am Medium LD "Distracted" We are walking down the street during some kind of carnival or festival. Street performers are doing various stunts. Then I notice a guy with a metal pole replacing these small covers in the ground. At some point I feel the need to visit the bathroom. I walk over to the urinal, unzip, change my mind and go into a stall. I become lucid and start playing with myself, before realising it would be easy to summon some company. Leaving the stall I watch the bathroom door expecting a beautiful woman to enter the room. Sure enough the door opens. A slim, slightly Asian looking woman with long dark hair walks in.*...snipping lengthy adult funtime details...* 7.10-7.40 Medium LD "My Subconcious Cheats at Rock Paper Scissors" I am walking through a city. Most of the shops are closed and there is scaffolding on the pavement. I'm barefoot and decide to go back for my shoes. This makes me lucid. Heading into the closest bar, I find a DC sitting down nursing a pint of beer. "Rock Paper Scissors?" He turns and we play. He chooses scissors. I chose rock. Hey I won! We play a couple more times and a female DC joins in for a threeway. The guy cheats by doing paper but with fingers open as if also doing scissors. Wait, what is that supposed to be? "Hey, you're cheating!" The guy nods sheepishly and we laugh about it. I recall the stick-your-head-in-the-ground task as well, and decide to leave the building and try this one outside. However, the female DC follows me. "What are you doing. There's something not right about you." Yeah, I'm lucid, and about to do weird stuff. At first it is quite difficult to get my head into the earth. It turns into a sort of handstand. I manage to get my head part-way and make a small hole, but can't get more than up to my eyes. I experiment by lying on my face instead, and this sends me into a black void. Finally two level-selector style images start floating in the void. I choose one of them, at random since neither look like Candyland, which was my intention. An old style game starts. I control the character as a distant observer. The levels are set in the countryside, and the aim is to walk along the paths and roads without running into any enemies - in this case giant bugs. It's sort of like pac-man, but with curved paths. I get to the next level and then a giant flying bug swoops in to attack me. I try to attack it but can't seem to control the character that well. So I possess the DC to gain first person perspective. The attacks of the insect cause a buzzing/vibration in the entire world. I start trying to smash the bug with my fist. The scene fades. A guy is handing out strawberry laces. I eat some of them, and it is chewy and kinda tasteless, like the real thing. Another person is talking about Swiss currency not having any scratches or markings on it, because it is so rarely used.
17.09.13 Second falling asleep. Winter in a dream. Dreamed that I ski, regional competition of skiers. I met a neighbor on the track, he said that necessary to enter to the top eight for a cash reward, I think the top eight is cool. And I skiing without skis, I'm soaring in the air over the track. Then I decided to slide up to my house, a neighbor following me. When I come up and wait him, I'm doing such fun circles near the door, without skis but as with it. It seems a logical conclusion of dream, I realized that, and lucidity come to me. Think I need to talk with him, went to him, he said "I will go" I asked him "Who are you?" he ask me the same "and who are you?" I say "I'm a man and I have a physical body". More I remember bad, but the main, he said about himself, he is an essence, has no physical body, and even said his name "Lord of the Shadows". The feeling was such that he had no choice when I asked a question and he must tell the truth. He still looked like a neighbor. After that a second one appeared here, he looked like an old man, who lived here few years ago, but now has moved. First essence which is Lord of the Shadows gone into the house, probably because speaking directly with a person it's hard to him, and his friend came to help. I stayed on the street and spoke with the second, he said me that they are essences and feed mainly on human fear, as well other low feelings. He said that Lord of the Shadows is their boss. While talking with him, I already felt slight fear inside, but I knew I should not show it to them. Then main moment, old man asked me "do you have gold?" I said, "yes golden cross - holy cross", I instantly realized that he was afraid of him. He became to move away from me, I said "Don't be afraid I will not get it" I wanted to continue talking. His face expression changed, it has become a vampire, but I was not afraid, it was clear that he is not rival to me. But actually, perhaps it was not quite so, and I have been greatly tense, everything went black, and I wake up.

I had a very crazy day yesterday that resolved into a crazy night. I had a little shock when a woman of my team showed signs of depression and psychologic instability and that has for sure influenced my dreams. - dream: I'm going around with a guy I have little respect of and we were both talking trash of him, but he was thinking that he was actually another person. He referred as himself as "il gallinaccio" (the horrible chicken). I then woke up, stayed awake three hours, watched porn and engaged in autoerotism, which produced an embarrassing dream: - a woman that i know and definitely don't find attractive, introduced me to her new activity: recording porn with vocalizations to teach singing to her students. She showed me a videotape (somehow related to the porn I watched when awake) and also gave me an impromptu live demo - which I didn't particularly appreciated. She was very proud and I was very perplexed about the pedagogic value of this approach to singing.
Me and my friend from RL had our parents trying to get us to get together. This was also a thing IRL. I've finally had enough and we both told them that we just like each other as friends. Later on, I chat to my boyfriend on IRC about a trading card game and whether I should get 5 copies of this one card or 5 different cards. He advised the former, the card was just that good.
Before i begin to post dream, i would like to mention that i took a nap for about 2 hours and had a small cup of coffee within 30 minutes of laying down. I also want to mention that i listened to a loop of this guided dream meditation on my headphones which to me works all the time i listen to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTGd2TGsBVM . Dream begins with me standing in a narrow hallway of what seems to be an apartment. I'm standing next to one of those washer/dryer combo that sits on top of each other. I start to push the combo down the hallway to what i presume is another location in the apartment. I hear the dryer part of it running and feel the humming in my hands. When i go to unplug it, i realize the plug is dangling. I say to myself excitingly "its not plugged in, i must be dreaming" and i felt instant lucidity. I was excited because i finally remembered a dream sign that i constantly have but yet always forget to use to become lucid. This time around becoming lucid was so vivid, i can only explain it as one of those movies where people are watching a grainy tv screen and somehow are able to walk into the scene playing on that tv and everything is sharp and so is the feeling of actually being in that scene. So now i'm standing behind this combo and i'm curious as to where i was pushing it too. I continue pushing it but as i get further down the hall the combo starts to change. Its still a washer/dryer combo but the width of it starts to shrink. Now its about a foot wide and looks funny being its a washer/dryer combo. I start to hear male voices at the end of the hallway where there is an open door and a lit room. I decide to walk there but instead i float there and rather quickly at that. I'm in the room and see 1 guy working on something that he calls his invention and another guy just watching him. When i tried to see what he was inventing, i felt everything around me getting back to that haziness. I start to panic and remembered the "rubbing of the hands to stabilize" trick. I rubbed my palms together and no change so i rubbed them together faster and my palms went through each other. Still no change. I tried to fly since i knew it was going to end but felt i couldn't get past the ceiling and a thought flashed across my mind saying, "error, no destination assigned". I then woke up and wrote dream down and wondered if i had thought of a place i knew, if this LD would have continued.
I had a dream about politics but I couldn't even begin to describe it.
DILD #1-I don't remember how I became lucid but the first thing I remember was I was flying outside at night and looking around at the scenery. There were bright images being projected on some parts of the ground. I landed and but my hand behind my back to summon a young lady. I felt a hand, turned around and one was there. She was a dirty blond, a bit off kilter but cute enough to kiss. A gave her a kiss and asked her name. Her name was Trixie. We played rock paper scissors. After pumping our fists, I played paper and she played scissors. I asked her to show me a dance. She put her hands on my shoulder while rocking hers. I joined her for a bit until I fell down. She said she had to go so I gave her a nice good bye kiss. I jumped through the ground into a void. An electronic grid appeared which I was plotting points on as if I was designing something. I woke up. DILD #2-I don't remember how I became lucid but the first thing I remember was that I was in a town during the day where I saw a friend of mine. I asked her to show to show me a new ability for dream control. She summoned a super soaker water gun and sprayed it towards the sky. A curvy unbroken stream of water appeared which she bend in order to spray a building. She took out a laser gun and did the same thing, only with a curvy laser beam rather than a curvy stream of water. Satisfied with this, I turned my attention to stick my head through the ground to in order to see something through it. I laid face down on the ground and asked a group of DCs near by to push my head through it, which they did. I felt my head going through the ground. The next thing I remember I was still on the ground, but was now indoors. I saw these bits of paper on the ground which I brushed away. I still wanted to go through the ground in order to go to Candyland. I kept telling the DCs to keep pushing my head through. They lost motivation and one stuck mud in my ear. I got up and saw I was now in a room in which there was a mud dam created by a few DCs which was holding back water. There were a male DCs handing out. Frustrated with them, I whined a bit before found a bunch of bananas. I took a banana and hit a DC with it. I sensed he was getting angry and I woke up.
I was shown a hell like scenario.
02-Nov-2016 - 3 ND (to be written) + WILD - 1000 miles #01 - Wild lands - Cave, house, pegasus, ghosts and lot of origami ! 6:30 AM WILD (~1hr) After visualization, I find myself inside a North America office. I pass through the glass window and walk on air / glide down in the parking lot, where there are many small trees, with leaves yellow, red and orange; it's beautiful. I get close to a tree, it's less than 2 meters, the trunk is thin, it has few yellow/orange leaves now, and I can see the main branches well - there is four of them, forming a kind of upward cone. While rotating my view around it, I see that more branches appear, up to six. Weird. I walk a bit, to find a small group of people, three of them, with some items on the ground. We say few quick workds like "Hello", "Let's go", and quickly move on, leaving the parking lot behind. The land around us is quite barren, some yellow grass, very sparse trees, with pointy, smooth mountains at all sides, some close to our path, some farther away. The peaks are bright, but they don't really seem covered in snow. After some walking I decide to speed up our march. Take a dark green sheet of paper and build a very stupid vehicle, with the back similar to a pick-up track and, below, six legs like an insect. We sit in the back and the thing starts walking. After a while, we reach an abandoned house, looking like a Victorian mansion, dark grey, with pointy roof, evidently abandoned. We enter through the door, and the farthest side is missing. It's totally empty, and exploring it yields nothing, so I look for a trapdoor taking to a lower floor, and when I find it, we descend. The group is now made up of me and two more people. There is a huge undercellar, with a low roof, totally dark. I take a sheet of origami paper, and wish it brown on one side, orange on the other. I fold it quickly and make a torch, with a brown stick and orange flame. I swing it in front of me, lighting the space, and see many thin wooden pillars and lot of spiderwebs. We walk in there for some time, seeing nothing. For some reason this reminds me of a Minecraft environment, and soon after, on the right, I find a brown Minecraft 2-blocks box. I open it and find a bow and arrow, an iron ingot and a white string. Oh well, still better than nothing... Since we have walked a lot, I don't feel like backtracking. I pass the torch to someone behind me, take another sheet of paper, enlarge it and make a drilling machine. We climb on it and reach the surface. The hose is far behind us, with the vehicle still there, our stuff in the vehicle. I am not sure how we reach it, perhaps I call it with a gesture. EDIT: I am not sure this is the exact point in time I do this I decide to do the task of creating the stone symbol. I enlarge the six-legged pick-up truck and use it to transport three colossal stones in the same spot. It drops them, two on the bottom, a third on top of them. The resulting stone building it's like 6-8 meters tall. The land is still the same, almost empty, it's darker now and we decide to camp for the night. I enlarge a sheet, make a couple of folds and build a tent; we get in, everything goes black, I feel my body for some seconds, then the landscape appears again. There is a small water pond close to our camping spot, and a white winged horse close to it. I notice its wings are very long and pointy. It looks at us suspiciously, then flies away. No hope to reach it. I take the chance and explore the pond. First I dive into it, then get out and use a red sheet of paper to make a breathing apparatus, with two rounded air bottles, and a long pleated tube and mouthpiece. Neat ! I put it at my back and dive again. The pond is very small, the bottom is sand. It continues like a tunnel below the ground and merges with another similar pond. I lightly pass my hands on the sand, which spreads a bit, then I try putting them below the sand, and feel a pulsating sensation. Swimming a bit more, I notice a corner of something popping out of the sand. I cannot pull it up, it's too heavy. I exit, take a very large sheet and build a tool for lifting it up. It's awful, and when I try to use it on the submerged object, it tilts on one side and doesn't work. Hmmm, let's try again. This time I build a big industrial crane, with two triangular supports, a central staff and a hooked arm going down. It could probably lift an airplane... I dive, make a hole in the emerging corner, hook it, and we finally pull the box ! This time I don't see us opening it, but just see its content. It's a very elegant black pen. FFUUUUUU..... Oh well, in the same box there is also a sort of nut and a small band with metallic core, the kind you use to wrap electric cables We move on again, using the six-legged pick-up. After some time, I ask to one of my teammates (I think it was Exotherm) about his age, he answers 24. We reach a gorge, with another abandoned house close to a pitch-black cave entrance. When we approach the house, a white ghost attacks us. I use the bow to shoot an arrow to him, but it just passes through it. I don't know what to do, and the first thing that comes to mind is using a sheet of paper to build an ectoplasmic backpack from Ghostbusters. I am in a hurry and don't even try to make a sense of the folds I use. I shoot it and destroy the ghost. I decide that if we need to face an army of ghosts we need more weapons, but that one was too powerful, so I opt for something else. With another sheet of paper, I build a ghost-killer tennis racket, so I'll have to go melee with them. Few more ghosts come out of the house and we face them. The racket proves funny to use, slicing them in potato-chips-like strips, then dissolving them ! I want to clear the house quickly, so use the big crane to eradicate it from its basement. I expect an army of ghosts to come out, but this doesn't happen, just dust appears. We enter the cave, torch and racket in hand, and ghosts come out of the f... walls ! We need more torch, I multiply the one I have (a power I shouldn't have, but no time to fold) and give to the team. Then we face the ghosts. Through ectoplasmic rays and racket hits, we kill few waves of ghosts. We keep putting torches on the wall, killing ghosts and proceed. At once, farther in front of us, where torches barely light, we see hundreds of ghosts merge together to create a giant white one. Unfortunately here the dream starts fading (it's ~50min already). I cannot recall how we get through. However, after it, there is a round cave with shallow water at its bottom, a rock at the centre and a small bridge connecting this rock to the cave. On the rock, a treasure chest with some lit torches around. This time I wish for a more powerful item, and when I open the chest I find a magic wand. It's a pretty simple stick, with top shaped like this <.> Not impressive looking, hopefully its powers is not too shabby... When we exit the cave, there are bandit waiting for us. The dream is fading quickly here... I raise my hands above my head, but I've got the magic wand in one of them. It shoots some rays and the bandits fall to the ground Dream fades, I return the focus to my body, then get up and check clock: it's 7:33, work alarm 7:40. Whew !

Morning of November 2, 2016. Wednesday. In my dream, I find myself in an unfamiliar room in an unknown setting that has the appearance of an efficiency apartment (though my dream self does not perceive it as unfamiliar). Dennis (older half-brother on my mother’s side, of whom I have not seen in real life since 1994) is present but appears as he did in the 1970s. There is also an unknown and unfamiliar male present of about Dennis’s age, presumed (by my dream self) to be either his visiting friend or flatmate. However, it remains uncertain if my dream is otherwise implying the apartment to be mine. Dennis and I enter into an argument when I play “Nights in White Satin” (a song by the Moody Blues) on a cassette player that sits atop a low-set chest of drawers that faces the foot of the bed, though more to the right. Dennis says it is not the original version. I tell him and the other male that they must have only heard later shortened versions. One point made is that Dennis says there are no helicopter sounds in the original version. I tell him that he is wrong. (However, I am thinking of the movie “Apocalypse Now” and the “Ride of the Valkyries” score and somehow confusing it with “Nights in White Satin”, though the similarity between these two recordings is otherwise minimal.) I am able to sarcastically, with amusement, vocalize the background motif in inverse (that is, with the staff flipped upside-down so that any sequence of increasingly higher notes go down in pitch and decreasing notes go higher in pitch). I am fully aware of how it would sound as such. The other two look on, seeming annoyed, as I repeat that this is the correct version while implying they may have heard the inverted one. I awake with a sense of joy and an instant recognition of my dream’s meaning. Decoding template follows: Dream type and explanation: This dream uses “return flight waking symbolism”, which is created when the physicality of the conscious self identity is ambiguously perceived prior to the RAS (reticular activating system) neural gating that regulates the sleep-wake transition. Consequently, the dream self identity subliminally anticipates falling, rising, sustained flight, or other illusory movement based on the misperception of the vestibular system’s equilibrium dynamics.Dream state induction type: Transmutation of our bed as a subliminal dream state indicator, created as a result of the subliminal memory of being asleep.Dream state indicators: The bed and the song “Nights in White Satin”.Liminal space symbol: The beach (unseen yet implied), which represents the neural space between sleeping and waking. The relationship to the flight symbol is that the helicopters (in the movie) fly towards the beach and over land from the water (water of which symbolizes sleep and the circadian rhythms dynamics of the dream state and the glymphatic system).Preconscious factor: My dream self is already in the emergent consciousness role, which is validated by my subliminal recognition of both dream state indicators. It is otherwise the preconscious that is dominant over the dream self to initiate waking.Interconsciousness factor: The unknown male in the background of whose presence does not otherwise trigger a known dream state component.Liminal space cessation trigger: The line “Just what the truth is, I can’t say anymore” from “Nights in White Satin”. The liminal space cessation trigger is that which begins to break the illusion of the dream state, sometimes symbolized by a jigsaw puzzle or a breaking window.Flight symbol to dream exit point (symbolic waking transition): The (unseen) helicopter as “returning” me to my bed, symbolized in my dream by the unfamiliar bed of the efficiency apartment. (Note that I sit on the foot of the bed, right side, just as I do with my real bed in waking life.) The helicopter rotor system symbolizes kinocilia in the same way as a tornado in the dream state. (However, at a spiritual level, for those who follow the path, it also represents the Merkaba as a tornado also does.)Waking symbolism is typically oriented to the right, which is the location of the cassette player as perceived from the bed.

Realized I was dreaming when I had more facial hair than usual.
Failed WBTB It was a warm summer evening. The sky and clouds were reddish in lower parts. With someone I was waiting just outside my house. A priest came to my frontyard and made people a confession. I entered my house and saw my maths teacher, who turned into my younger sister when I didn't noticed. I came closer to her, but then she turned into an alien and attacked me with green tentacles. She grabbed my hands with these tentacles and tried to push them into her maw, I was struggling with her all the time. I managed to get free and ran outside, only to get back after a while. After more struggles, I reminded myself of some video tape or song recorded on a tape and the alien fallen on the floor, motionless.
my alarm was too sweet
I was in some kind of bookstore and was looking at some manga. The manga I was looking at was kinda... erotic, for some reason, but I was really enjoying it. I put it next to some other manga and begin browsing and looking at different stuff when I realise I can't find the other one anymore and was desperate because I really wanted that one. I asked some guys next to me for help until I eventually became lucid. What did I do then, you ask? Well... I kept looking for the darn thing. I tried using voice commands (something like "The book I want is gonna float towards me" stuff like that) but nothing worked. I asked the guys what their favorite ones were, in hopes I find something better than the other one. They started talking about manga they liked and gave them to me, but they weren't what I was looking for at all. Eventually I realized I was wasting time and decided to focus. I realize I was in some kind of shopping mall. For some reason, I couldn't fly. I remembered reading something about stabilizing and how it makes dream control better, so I stabilized the dream by doing RCs and told myself I was sleeping and creating this dream and could do anything. It didn't do much, as I couldn't fire laserbeams from my fingertips (which was something I wanted to do... I guess) nor could I fly for some reason. I decided that didn't matter as I didn't need to fly for my goal, which was finding a mirror, asking my dream to take me somewhere interesting and enter it. Whenever I want to enter a mirror, there is always one nearby. I looked around and there was a huge one in a nearby section of the mall that looked like a shoe store. I got close to the mirror, rubbed my hands, and was already phasing my hands through it when I remembered I had to say the command. "Dream, take me somewhere interesting, please." With that, I fully entered the mirror and found myself in some kind of rooftop in a urban area. To my left there was a huge window to big, empty factory/storage of some kind. Looking around, I could see the rooftops of different houses and I think some buildings in the distance. I couldn't see the streets from where I was. This place wasn't what I was expecting at all, so I turned around and asked my dream, again, to take me somewhere interesting, but I specified that I didn't want just some generic city area. I floated up to a window with a dark tint (apparently, that's where I came from) and noticed I could kinda see through it. In this area there was also some kind of loud, constant noise in the background, like a really loud air conditioner. I phased through the window and ended up in a similar area. It was like I was in a room of an destroyed, abandoned or unfinished building. No roof or walls, save for the one the window was in. I didn't really look around the area since I was kinda annoyed and wanted to try entering a mirror one more time. However, the dream started fading and I was trying to think how I could bring it back. I think I tried to stabilize somehow but woke up and tried to stay still for DEILD, but I was sleeping for so long already (almost 10 hours) that I was too awake and didn't feel like staying there trying to deild, so I jut got up.
Putting them all here b/c I don't want to write 3 separate entries: 1) (WILD) Realized I was dreaming and got out of bed. I did a RC and tried to stabilize the dream. I then passed through my bedroom wall, and tried to spin around (hopefully so I would teleport somewhere else). It didn't work and my dream actually undid itself. 2) (DILD) I was in a subway waiting for the train when a weird train steamed by, with diamonds instead of windows. I did a RC. Now I'm not a DILD man but I got lucky this time I guess. I started trying to push one of the DC's onto the train track, who had been annoying me. The dream ended before I could. 3) (WILD) After 2 disappointing lucids, I finally had a long one. I did a RC and got out of bed. I started practicing my dual elemental summons. I used to not be able to do it at all, but luckily I had a non lucid a few days ago, where I was able to do it, and I still remembered the way. I shot lightning and fire at the same time. It was small, but good enough for now. I then roasted a plant. I went downstairs and tried to phase through the door. I got it on the 3rd attempt. I teleported to Space and splayed around with a giant planet sized head of Super Saiyan Goku. Then I teleported back and explored the garden some more. The sky was a gorgeous purple. By the time I realized I should be working on scoring points the dream faded.
