+ [first dream forgotten for now] [REMEMBERED!: the tomato sidewalk gardener guy!] Outdoors, daylight. Several times throughout this dream, I walk past a guy with no arms (and no legs?) who's sitting on the sidewalk where I'm walking near the curb, "gardening" in the cracks and little holes/open dirt square areas along the sidewalk. I notice him several times and get a sense of deja vu each time. I look at what he's gardening a few times and it's small bulbs of little vegetation growing in clumps. The final time I stop and look at what he's doing, he's growing odd-looking tomatoes. He slices open(?) some tomatoes and is describing some (magical?) properties that they have as I peer down at them. + driving up S street avoiding man in van that handles poorly driving too fast for turning ability of van turn R on to GPB into oncoming lane concerned about oncoming traffic one appears coming around corner but I make it back to my lane. Going too fast this van does not handle well like my other van, I can't make the bend in the road to the left and the van drives right off the road which heads down a hillside. I have a brief thought "oh boy now I've done it." The van is sailing through the air I'm anticipating impact, thinking "man I hope my van isn't ruined." The van lands (backwards?) and the impact is barely noticed. I'm on some side road with no way back to the main road, not for a long, long way. I come up to a memorial plaque that I "recognize" [FALSE] and think "Oh, I'm here at that place" in some public park, I wonder if the gate is still open, I head out to the gate and see a map and try to understand it to find where I'm going but can't. I try each of several different swiveling gates leading to different levels of road. Then I'm in some convenience store, some younger guys are there talking about "rack and pinion steering" and I think maybe my van is missing a "pinion" or something. + epic: seattle: stamp, selling house (maybe sell and re-rent?), girl pops out from under armchair to answer question (this surprises me a little, didn't know she was under there), ask about best thai place in city now, answer: "Panda." I describe the [correct] dates of my graduation and point out I haven't been in town in a long time. Ask if "Panda" is downtown or in the U-district. Girl writes me my copy of the birthday party rules (includes rules preventing people from leaving early even if they want to go to bed on time in order to dream, I wonder if I should tell them I'm a lucid dreamer), handwritten in red/orange/yellow script. I'm amazed she hand-writes these rules for everybody in the house. I'm lying stomach down on the floor with the birthday rules girl next to me on my right also lying stomach down our bodies aligned, I snuggle up to her and we get close, I press my head against her and nuzzle her head with mine, she reaches down under me Spoiler for sexual moment: and tickles my (ahem) a bit it feels really good and I moan a bit in her ear. I'm sitting on something up high, like on top of a bunk bed, in the living room. I glance out the window and I see a view extending into the distance of a busy freeway with cars with red tail lights and I assume I'm seeing I-5 heading towards downtown. Girls in costume appear in the living room, I'm still sitting up high. There are two, one is petite and pretty and grabs my attention and our gazes meet and hold for a few seconds. She's wearing black? The other one, white? They walk past me and brush my legs dangling down from the bunk beds. Our group is now outside, it's night, we're on an open square near a trap door, our group is down there, I think "what if they (group of enemies?) arrive at the same time (or are already down there?). Then an enemy group is there and we're struggling [this part details forgotten], I'm pushing them around. Then I'm standing in some sort of artificial tunnel/cave trapped inside a long cylindrical cage made of metal bars, I'm going back and forth trying to find the way out of this cage but the openings are all too small. My friend hands me a metal folding chair through a hole and tells me to use it as leverage. Now I can get out. But I think it's ridiculous: the hole is large enough to get out without leverage from the chair, the chair is pointless and I try to show this to my friend.

Another great, long dreaming night with 1-2 epics. And a first! Probably my earliest LD ever, somewhere around 2.5 hours in the first (noticed) waking of the night. And not just a weak, low-awareness LD, but a TOTM success LD that included a successful teleport out of the void! I set very strong intention to get lucid tonight. I also prepared 4mg galantamine + 300mg alpha gpc by my bedside for WBTB (but never took it, keeping it in reserve for tonight perhaps). @ ~ 2.5-3 hrs + lucid 202: I'm hugging my old dog L. He's facing me and hugging me back (in retrospect a bit too tightly and compulsively but in the dream it seemed fine), my face is buried in his chest and my hands are holding him tightly to me, I'm telling him "I love you, I love you!". Then I'm in my CH living room and I'm lucid. Lighting is subdued, like it's dark outside. As soon as I'm lucid I think "woohoo, #202". I'm pacing around between the living room and the entry hallway. I remember TOTM and I remember grow a tail. I'm standing on the corner of the big buffet which has a mirror and I will a tail to grow. I move it around over my right shoulder then I see it and touch it with my right hand and inspect it. It is a flat dark brown color, slightly fuzzy, and feels like the tail of a stuffed animal. I will the tail to move around some more and see its shadow on the floor in front of me, moving, I say "swish! swish!" I now want to do a basic task as well and I know I know the tasks and I feel positive that they will come to me at any instant but I just can't remember them. Next thing I know I'm pacing in total blackness. I decide I don't want to be here and I want to try a portal teleport. I lift my right hand and start to draw a portal in the air in front of me, expecting to see a shining outline appear, but nothing appears. I start over again, still unable to see any portal trail, but now I finish drawing a large oval in the air in front of me. I imagine it leads to <forgotten!>, as I start to step through I think perhaps I should have specified instead that it leads to Amber [Zelazny's fantasy realm] but I decide to keep my original destination. I find myself in a brightly lit city scape full of people, sort of medieval looking, the city is on a hill. I take off flying and I'm immediately surrounded by thousands of little flies or tiny drones, the faster and farther I try to go to evade them, the more that surround me. Lost all lucidity now, I'm talking with someone about what the cost is to (teleport me?) get to somewhere else. The guy says that he does not accept military contracts and there is something about the cost he offers. wake up and review dream, check time, about 2.5 hours after bed. I decided it was too early to take the galantamine, and went back to sleep. Very happy with what is probably my first successful intentional teleport. (@5-6 hours) + CH thief: I'm standing on the street looking down the driveway at my CH and I sense something is wrong. The doors of the house are open and the lights are on. I'm looking and noticing open doors. I decide to jump down and surprise the thief if one's there. I "jump/fly" down in one swoop from the street down to the back porch of the house and I detect an intruder in the house who runs away. He runs down the back garden stairs and jumps off the lawn down to neighbor's back yards. I do another big jump/fly down to him and there's a branch on the ground and a pair of long-handled pruning shears which he picks up and faces me to fight, <rest forgotten>. + slop: I'm sitting/lying on the ground outdoors. A small girl comes up to me and lays across me diagonally and hugs me and I hug her back, I feel love coming from her, she tells me, "Thank you for holding me!". Then I'm lying in some sort of trough and my wife and some other women throw in buckets of what I think is "pig slop", grey and thick and muddy, which I had been expecting but they threw it before I expected it and it splashed on my face. "Great!" I say with sarcasm, "you got it on my face!" and they react with concern. + scoot: I'm on a bicycle on mixed suburban/urban roads, I approach a busy intersection and use the hand brakes on the handlebars to slow down, I notice that the "turn left" arrow is lit and I'm following a dotted line painted on the ground that leads on to a sidewalk, and I follow it there. There are some cars coming down the sidewalk the other way and I'm surprised/annoyed by this. I continue on the sidewalk, now scooting? Now on inline-skates, I'm coming up on some people who are slow moving so I speed up to overtake them right as a guy is trying to pass me. My new speed prevents him from passing me and we're now running/skating side by side. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were there," I explain to him. Now I'm pushing myself with cross-country ski poles, still on inline skates, and getting some good speed from this. He's running. I wonder now many miles we can go like this, probably all the way up into the hills. + epic: ski I begin with thoughts and light visuals about a job where I worked at one former job while I worked still at another former job -- this is a (somewhat) reoccuring dream pattern about work. Then (I? someone?) says one of the benefits of the job is the big ski jump hill they build outside, and I imagine a large, wide, slide with alternating steep and level sections. Then someone else talks about the downhill skiing park that was built, then I'm standing at the top of the hill with skiis on and start skiing down. The guy had been saying about how fast you could do. The hill was quite steep but fairly flat. I'm hopping between left ski downslope and right ski downslope skillfully and wondering about just how much time it takes to perform one of these hops once you decide to do it. Then I run off a series of jumps off the left side of the trail, and finally I'm falling about 100 feet or more and think "oops now I've done it" and I'm trying to plan my landing place. I'm anticipating a bad impact really hurting my legs. But then I realize that as long as I land on a steep part of the slope below me there won't be much impact. I land and feel no problem with my legs. I jump again and this time I'm jumping over a river and I need to plan my landing, this time the snow runs out and my skies are clattering along bare rocks but on a smoothed pathway. I thought my skiis would get ripped to shreds but the stones are very smooth and I just slowly glide to a halt. Now what am I going to do? I have probably skied somewhere around 20 (kms? miles?) and trudging back up that massive hill that long with ski boots and my skis in hand is just not going to happen, so I resolve to go forwards to see where I am. I quickly come across a building, sort of a cabin, with a sign on it, amidst pine trees, it's a large building like a camp building. But sort of run down, like it's not popular any more. I come across the main camp building which is similar (sort of run-down, out of date architecture), with people milling about. The camp is not in session, it's called "sundowner <something>" or "summer <something>". I talk to a staff member about getting back to where I came from and she mentioned that they had a taxi that I could take. "Taxi! Perfect!" I say and go to it. I'm then standing on a mini-bus holding a pole and I'm thinking about how I'm going to pay the taxi since I don't have any money with me. I then realize that I don't have my skiis with me, and that I don't remember taking them off, or my boots, or putting them anywhere. I just remember that my final skiing portion was near a river/creek and ask the driver to take me by there so I can look for them. While standing on the taxi I "remember" that I came here with some friends and they're not all here, we have to find them, I'm confused about where they are. I'm going to have to call my dad to come get us(?) and figure out how to meet him. "Where's Lawrence Y? [boy scout]" I see a double ski holder thing (that you carry skis in on the roof of your car) in the bus and I open it and look at the skis and they're covered with colorful shiny glitter stickers. I walking then go through a door and inside CE (my movie buddy when I interned at lab) is teaching a piano harmony lesson. She is going to play improvised scales in D-flat (major?) She begins and starts with something like 6th and 4th chords, then normal ones, I keep listening for a Maj7 chord but never hear one, and feel like I should sneak to the keyboard and hit the Bb key to make her do it, but I never do, I'm listening to her scales for about a minute. wake: I'm thinking now that it's too late to take the G. Review dreams, toss and turn a bit, work on BTS and get BTS. Tell myself "the next thing I see will be a dream" and performing the dream-hand nose-pinch RC on exhales once in a while. Tell myself "I will fall asleep and get lucid." BTS (9-10 hours?) + elevator: there's a problem with the work elevator, I'm talking with the CEO (female) about it. It has to do with the old power board. I walk down the stairs with my son and realize it's a long way down and I head back up to fix the power board. I continue talking and say that the issue is due to the software's access pattern of the various power terminals. We could fix it by making sure the software doesn't use too many of them at the same time. But couldn't we just buy a new power station, "it would only cost, what, $20,000?". + cables/work/girl: <a bunch forgotten> also at work and there's a presentation being prepared in some large audience or dining hall. I have cables that are part of the projection system in my hand. We're (taking a break?) and everyone's putting their components of the projection system down on a table in front of a techie guy, and I put two short orange cables as well and say these are important. I'm moving through the crowd and a lot of people are in my say. There's are some young people on the stage and I notice in particular a cute girl with lipstick on, briefly. Then I'm moving back stage and a girl is there and I encourage her to follow me. I see a tent set up and open it and motion for her to go inside. We go inside and make out a bit? + (semi)epic: park / basketball: ... I'm looking at the newly refurbished basketball level of my CH neighborhood park. They've replaced the concrete/asphalt with a slightly bouncy black material like on modern playgrounds, it is very black. I'm just standing there on the far side facing the main entry side, noting all the changes they've made. They've adjusted the positions of the basketball hoops somewhat, moving the one by the back road fence even more to the left, and the main basket has been raised very high, and there's a secondary basket twice as high as well. I notice that they've also built very tall fences between this level and the middle level (guess so that balls thrown won't go between levels or get lost in the foliage). I continue looking at the tall netting and notice then that there is also a ceiling netting high over the entire basketball level, 50 or more feet up. I hope that it's strong so that if anybody climbs up there, it doesn't rip or they'd fall. I see briefly a circular section of the netting that looks like a 10-foot diameter spider web. I take a running leap off the raised pathway and fly/glide low over the courts to the opposite corner (by the bike rack). The entire court is covered in what looks like scrunched up brown paper napkins/towels. They're light and I can easily brush them aside to see the shiny new flooring/ground-cover they've installed. There is some "new plastic" odor. I see shiny markings on the ground, bumpy and extending up from the surface like the stuff crosswalks are painted with, but colorful. I start to run across the ground and pump my legs really fast and wonder about running really fast. Then a brilliant emerald green object on the ground catches my attention, I'm wondering what this beautiful thing could be. As I can see more of it I "remember" [FALSE] that I've seen this before, it's a sort of walkway made from modular pieces that you can put together to make a path, and parts of it are black rubber and parts are that emerald gemstone material, but I think it doesn't look quite as good as I thought at first. I notice on the main basketball court on the lower (but still high) hoop there is a sign: "females only". Well that's ridiculous, they've taken two of the courts and made them girls only, hardly any girls play basketball here, what's the point? A man/coach is there now and he's getting some guys together to play some basketball. I say I can't play because <I have to do something, forgot>. He's got only 3 guys together to play, that's not enough.

It was a really dark early morning. It was during a winter, there were snowdrifts on the roadsides and there was some ice on the road. I left my house, but I wasn't wearing any jacket - I only had a gray shirt, black trousers and black shoes. I went towards my old school, there was something important I had to do. I had troubles with walking and breathing, I scrambled towards the school. On the way I saw some people going there too, I thought "Last year in technical, and now I have to get back to previous one for a year!". I finally reached the school and immediately saw some people I know that shouldn't be there. This made me realize that it's a dream. I left the building for a while and saw my car standing at the parking lot. I went to it and inside I found some paper sheet with strange calculations written on it. The handwriting was identical to mine. I got back to school and looked around. I thought about meeting with someone, but that wasn't enough to summon her. Instead I chosen to talk with someone else - a tall blonde haired woman wearing a white dress. I said that I have something to deliver to her and we went outside. As we were going to car, she got scared of me and ran away to school. I tried to chase her but I slipped on the ice. I got up and went back to the building, in search of that woman. I searched on the hallway, in toilets and then I found her on the corridor. I told her that I don't have time for such fooling around and I have to deliver that package. We got to my car, I showed her the paper sheet, folding it before so she wouldn't see calculations. I told her to sign it with an x and go Roth me towards warehouses. As we moved on, I noticed someone following us. I thought about removing that dude from my dream, but somehow he was resistant to my powers. However, he wasn't resistant to telekinesis. I gestured and thrown him far far away. Then we entered the warehouses. Instead of giving her that package, I persuaded her to make it out with me. I didn't knew that it was a military warehouse, and as we were doing it, soldiers appeared and surrounded us. Then a loading screen with warehouse appeared. I found myself in some corridor going to warehouse. Instead of entering I went through doorway that was behind me. A map appeared, there was some sunny valley. I chosen it and got teleported to some dark grove. I summoned that woman. She was a bit different, as she had brown hair this time. I saw myself from third . She was scared of me and the grove and started running away. I chased her, throwing fat monsters with long horns away using telekinesis. I got her and after a while oh talking we made it out again. I have lost lucidity. I found myself in my house with younger sister and that woman. We took out rc cars and drove around my room.
1) Something to do with work and writing a protocol for cardiology. 2) I'm at university with an old friend. I go out and then I'm at a religious building walking through an outdoor religious meeting of some sort. I walk through to the back and someone goes to get a wafer (I'm not religious but have attended services where wafers have been given out). I'm waiting for mine but it never comes, so I step through further to the back, and find myself a small round white wafer. I see there is a man dressed up like a preist next to me sitting in a chair. He tells me to sit down on the floor. Then we are playing a game. We are rolling apples on the floor and marking where they land with playing cards, the ground is very uneven and the game seems a bit silly but I'm stuck playing it and it's all rather formal so I can't leave. I find a couple of £10 notes in my pack of cards and put them to one side to give bck ot the priest. He spots then and grabs them from me as if I was about to steal them. I make an excuse to leave. 3) At the surgery. I'm wheeling my bike into a room, it's full of bike parts and obviously a room entirely devoted to cycling, a whole wall is full of racks of bike parts. I comment that I am really impressed with it and no other surgery would look after its staff this well. Then I'm with a patient in the room next door. She is sitting in a chair covered in a blanket asking about her investigations. I say I don't know what she has had done and I wil lgo next door to get her notes out, I need to know what has happened for the ward round on Monday. I go next door expecting to find her notes but there are no notes there, I look around and there are videos lined up on one wall, and I think wow what an amazing surgery there are even videos for the staff to borrow!
09.09.2016 08:00 AMHanging Out With Juliana 2 (DILD) My bedroom is the bathroom of a fair grounds??? I am try to sleep but I see people waling around outside. I get out of bed and look in the mirror. I notice that I have nipple piercings. WTF? I put on a shirt and do a nose plug rc and become lucid. I summon Juliana. She has long red hair again and I tell her I like this look best on her. She is wearing a red button up shirt with short sleeves, a black tie, skirt, and coat with a short cape attached to the shoulders. We go outside and I forget that I was going to ask for my next magic lesson. I mention the fact that I have never seen her cat form and ask her to transform. She says there are to many people around and she has something to show me first. We run for about 30 seconds to the other side of the fair where there are food places. She says to get this one thing on the menu. I see that it is $30 and don't want to spend that money. I had lost a lot of lucidity I guess. Dream money doesn't matter! I ask her to use a spell to make the workers not charge me so much. She pulls out a wand and waves it around and says it worked. I go over and order it. I momentarily loose stability while they make my food. It is a hot dog with pulled pork and nacho cheese and other things on it. It also comes with fries and a large cupcake. It is friken amazing! I start to wake up again and can't find Juliana so I stick my hand back. She takes hold of it right away and points to some other food I should try. I remember what my actual goal was as I wake up.

I kept having dreams all night but I didn't record them all because I really needed some sleep. I woke up when Meesha came in to be fed & closed the door so she wouldn't interrupt my sleep. Sorry Meesha Cat, but mommy needs to sleep! I dreamed that I was w/ my family most of the night. Not my children, husband, grandchildren, but my core family from when I was young that extended to my grandparents and such. We were in various places. I even found myself lucid but felt a strange pull to not change the dream. I felt like I was supposed to pay attention & learn. We were all in this gorgeous palace. The steps were like a block wide with giant pillars. The details were spectacular! I was really enjoying the details. My family was yet again trying to get me to interact w/ Crazy Daisy, my mom's mom. I was trying to calmly tell them that I do forgive her but I just don't choose to have such a compulsively toxic person in my life. There were a lot of tea settings & bells. Crazy Daisy collects bells & I came across a bunch of them in a store I frequent just a week ago. We went down into a theater in the palace. I went first & walked along the rows of red velvet chairs. When I got to the end off to the side of the stage I was discussing where we should put our stuff before we go back behind the stage. I was told to just put them near one of the folding velvet movie like chairs. I looked out over the auditorium & couldn't figure out what we were all going to do. I went up to the curtain & pulled it back & woke up. So I got a lucid but stayed true to myself & just bathed in the realness of it all. The great detail & such. I think we don't do enough of that & it's the foundation of lucid dreaming. Reminding yourself how real the dreamscape is in & of itself. My pull to find meaning was very strong. I don't know if my grandmother will pass soon or what. I also don't know why suddenly she is in a bunch of my dreams. It's odd. Usually dreams like that for me mean death, I'm going to talk to them soon, or I'm going to see them soon. Yes, that is a real gift I have. I also can ask where things are out loud & then find them. My husband loves that particular gift. I text him during the day opposed to saying it out loud some times because it works best when I ask him in particular for some reason. He also thinks I could find the winning lottery numbers somehow, lol. But I don't think it works that way. I have been talking out loud lately to my grand parents that have passed in hopes that they here me & give me a sign. Maybe it was that. I do forgive my grandmother, that is very real. I just don't like the feeling that I have about my family thinking I should talk to her. When they themselves acknowledge that she is a compulsive liar & fake. My parents & my brother are atheists & me & my sisters are not so we have an interesting dynamic. And when I say they are atheists, I mean they try to push that down people's throats on social media & are just as bad as people who do the same w/ religion. Good people yet pushy w/ this subject for some reason. I love them but they would never understand how spiritual I've become & would only mock it like they mock my cousin, who faithfully every day on Facebook is giving her thanks to God for everything. She also used to have an abusive ex like I did so I get it but yet she's still on the extreme side but always positive which is better than being a negative atheist. That's not to bash anyone but to say I don't like people being pushy in a negative way. At least my cousin doesn't push it on anyone. My sisters on the other hand have been in my thoughts. I have been struggling w/ telling them about some of the changes in my life such as lucid dreaming & other things that have been happening spiritually to me for like, forever, lol..... That's probably what this dream was really about. I talk to my family every day via a group text which is continuous. This is due to my parents new found traveling now that they have retired via their RV. They are currently in Canada. Non-Lucid-Green Lucid-Red Side Notes-Purple Astral Projection/AP-Brown/OOB
Old Color Code Lucid Non Lucid Semi Lucid I was inside my house looking at my parakeets cage that was different and saw that their items were on the cage floor.This annoyed me so I went up to the kids in the house and inquired them about what had happened. They didn't give me a good enough answer so I decided to just fix the cage and forget about it. As I was fixing it I noticed that the water feeder was too huge to be an actual parakeet's water feeder than became lucid.The first thing that came into my mind was that I wanted to bring Eye into the dream again. He arrived but he was invisible as if he was a ghost. I went to the room next to my brother's and sat on the bed and thought about how I could make this time more memorable. The first thing that came up in my mind was to hug him so I did just that but it wasn't enough to make me want to write the dream down. Eye started laughing so I let go of him. He than made an object appear and than joked about his presence in the dream. This was starting to get boring for me so I thought about getting Dawn into the dream but than just decided to go to my older brother's room where I saw two kids looking out the window. As I looked at my backyard I saw tall brown grass that looked somewhat like wheat filled the yard,alongside some blue ones that stuck out. I wondered if the blue ones represented Eye and asked the dc next to me. The dc didn't have an answer to that though so I left the room and went to the living room. There I saw a faded blond girl in a short floral green dress. She was a dream figure I feared so I made a shoe appear and threw it at her,along with some other things.She slowly backed off and flew out my living room window. After that I had a false awakening but realized I was still in the dream quickly. I honestly wanted to exit the dream after seeing her but than changed my mind.There was what looked like a three year old Indian boy next to me now. I got up and looked at the door knowing it was impossible to try and shut my fear out but I tried anyways and told the boy to lock it. He tried but was having trouble so I just held the door for a bit so my fears would settle. The door than started moving as if someone was trying to get in. I recall becoming non lucid after that and appearing in a plaza filled with restaurants and stores. The dream setting was familiar to the one I had in another dream. There was a chubby and a slim African american guy next to this tall old African american man and they were wearing black besides the old man. He was wearing a light blue collar shirt. He took out 500$ bills from his wallet and placed them on the table next to the guys. They looked at him confused than laughed. The man than tried to show them that he was the real deal than placed more money on the table telling them that they wished they were him and that he would give them money if they admired something about him.I recall thinking of him as a newbie gambler that got lucky. After that I became cognizant of my body and followed a group of kids into a building. When we were walking up the stairs I pointed out that we should take the elevator first than climb up but they just kept going up. I than became aware I was actually dreaming but just kept following them to see if they could help me find my worst fear within the dream so I could fight it off again. We soon reached the floor though and the youngest one who appeared to be 4 started crying. He said he didn't want to be with them and that he was scared. I got on my knees after petting his buzz cut head and hugged him tightly. After telling him everything was going to be okay he started feeling better so we continued on our hunt. As we were walking though I noticed there was only one character left now beside me. He was about 6 and pointed to a spot he felt was where my worst fear was hiding. I looked at the spot and saw the number 1/2 and than looked to the boy glaring him. I felt a twist coming on so I told him to go somewhere else but than I felt a sharp pain jab me in my stomach. I than looked in front of me and saw the girl I feared laughing at me. I stood there with the pain thinking of how to make it disappear. But couldn't come up with a solution to distract me enough from it. So I stayed like that until I made myself wake up. Questions For Eye I had a short lucid where I asked Eye why he wasn't protecting me in my dreams like he use to. He said he still cared but couldn't be with me all the time.Guess I'm gonna have to start using that dream phone again. : P (I did not make the picture)

Morning of September 10, 2016. Saturday. My wife Zsuzsanna and our children and I are living back at Stadcor Street in Brisbane. It seems to be early afternoon and we have to go shopping for groceries. I am going out the back way, through our kitchen, but the layout is a bit different. The small square area that one needs to go through to get to the back porch is much bigger and there are additional doors, one directly into our backyard and another one onto our back porch. I notice what I first think is our pet black cat in the small room with me but it has no eye, nose, or mouth detail. It is like a three-dimensional shadow and I sense puzzlement radiating from it. I am slightly wary (but not fearful in any way) as the creature jumps up and somehow goes through the area between the central top part of the door and the door frame (and would have to be as thin as a sheet of paper to do this). This would be the door that goes to our back porch (liminal space). I go to the lounge room to talk to Zsuzsanna about this strange event and she calls the animal something I do not seem to be able to hear properly. After I ask her to repeat it a few times, it still sounds something like “wolf-roosh”. My hearing ability seems to become too distorted each time to hear the final part of the term. What I grasp from the term seems odd to me as it was seemingly a cat shadow, without any wolf associations at all. After we do our shopping, the unfamiliar balding male cashier (of about forty years of age) cannot seem to get the cash register to work properly. Apparently he has to press his thumb on a pad to acknowledge he has the authority to use the cash register, but it is not recognizing him. I am thinking that maybe his thumb needs to have a small amount of yellow ink on it to get it to work. I am getting annoyed and I am not sure how we will complete the transaction if the cash register will not work. The checkout area of a store is a waking transition metaphor symbolizing leaving the dream state. In this case, the lack of “yellow thumb” is associated with not being fully conscious. The cash register symbolizes the potential increments of critical thinking during the waking transition as conscious self identity emerges. The threshold event (here an atypical precursor rather than my dream’s final scene) concerning the door, featured a cat shadow in liminal space as the emergent consciousness factor. Curiously, this was borrowed from the ending of “The Flintstones” (which I had seen so many times as a child). Even the essence of the movement (comparative to the sabre-toothed tiger jumping up in the cartoon) was the same. I found that fascinating, especially as the ending theme’s line “…cat will stay out for the night” could be interpreted as remaining unconscious (asleep) throughout the sleep cycle.
Fragment It was an evening, I was at my backyard with some brunette, long haired woman. We entered a tractor that had two trailer's linked in. I let the woman drive, giving her some advices as we drove around backyard. Dream I was in some ruins. I had a sword and light armor, this place was a hideout of bandits. After a long run through this maze I finally found my way to surface. There was some building, bandits were coming out of it. I slashed them all to death. Suddenly I found myself in school, taking a seat . After a while I left it with one of classmates, we drove to city. I left his car and took a walk, but then I realized that I forgot my backpack. I decided to load some game state and get back in time.
Wonderful lucid this morning ✨ After wbtb a little later than I wanted I lay back down at about 5.30am ( had been awake around 30 mins setting intentions,using mantras and going through previous dreams of this night in my head) I make a goal to fly and see some beautiful sights - something simple and uplifting and maybe I will have a nice DC join me It takes some time to get to sleep and I have to keep my mind from worrying that soon the alarm will go off and I will still be laying here - I stay relaxed and gently focused on the task at hand - thanks goodness🌠 I enter the dream scape lucidly through a dild I think - I am walking ( often the case when I get lucid! Remember ) I realise this is a dream and remember I want to fly. I jump up into the sky and feel the breez against my body - I havnt been flying in ages so I am really appreciating the wonderful feeling once more - I call out "hehe I am flying! Show me something wonderful!" - The view opens out a lot its wonderful and vast - I see snow topped mountains around and far into the distance the dream scape looks amazing. The hills,Sky, tree tops and twisting rivers and valleys down below me seem to glisten and express joy in being there. I enjoy flying around and am in aw of the clarity of lucidity here - wow!🌄🌌🏔⛲️🗾 I see someone walking down on the ground and decide to follow for a while - then I land and go up to him. '" Follow me " he says I follow as he climbs up some rubble on the side of a building and into a small room. We are sitting very close and I see he is written on a piece of paper - he is writing my full name and underlining it. I am surprised and ask him how he know me. He said he saw me when I " Shut the door" ( trying to work out what he meant but not coming up with much...) I stare at his face for a bit - so close to mine - it is opaque and he looks a little older than he should possibly...I am a bit lost looking into his eyes and trying to work out who/what he is.👤 I wake up and stay still - managing to Deild back in I find myself with him agin still sitting close together. I manage to stay a while longer but my alarm goes off very soon and I am back in the dream of waking reality I am thankful for a nice adventure ✨😊

I was sick couple of days ago, i was sleeping very bad. I woke up at night like 20 times because i had to clear my nose and i also struggled to fall asleep, that is where the problems began. When i was half asleep i started to see dreams but i got stuck like i was asleep trying to find treasures in my bed and saw funny looking chinese people with triangle grass hats. I was the leader of the chinese people who were trying find treasures in my bed but they were somehow on grain field at the same time, which was very confusing... it was like there was 2 dreams going on at the same time. In 2 different windows. I found this dream extremely annoying because i was basicly just turning in my bed all night waking up and falling asleep. Endless grabbing of my sheets and pillow half as sleep ''trying to find the national treasures'' :| I dunno what to call this kind of dreams but definetly don't wanna experience it again.
1) With my parents in their car. I offered to fill up the radiator but my mother wouldn't let me do it unless I had some special water, I offered to do something else (can't remember what) but she wouldn't let me do that either. My dad got back in the car. I wasn't hapy so walked off and left them to it. 2) Somewhere in Scotland. There was an old building sat in the wilderness, someone was doing some building work at the front of it. I looked and saw that it was an old BBC building, a sign said 'Studio One' and there were old posters outside with famous people from the past on them. I heard some singing inside from a very old TV programme.
September 8, 2016: I am unloading pre-cut as well as uncut stone pavers from the side door of a huge delivery truck. I repeatedly and tediously carry them down a lane bordered on my left by a brick retaining wall which stands about nipple high. After walking about 60 - 75 feet, I rest the arm-load of pavers on the wall before trying (with great effort) to reach down over the wall to hand them off to a young black man who is standing in a ditch on the other side of the wall. He needs to stretch up as hard as he can to take the "hand-off" of the paving stones. I repeat this action about three or four times, walking back and forth to the truck each time for a new load when it dawns on me to float-fly in each direction to speed things up. I come to this "labor and time saving decision" right after handing off the forth load, so my hands/arms are empty. As I float-fly back to the truck it hits me. FUCK ME!!! I'm flying! I must be dreaming! WOW, two nights in a row!!! I immediately abandon the notion of flying back to the truck and fly instead on the far side of the retaining wall and follow the ditch to see where all the stone is being put - principally out of curiosity and because I have no other plan for this lucid dream - having been caught by surprise. I come upon a house that looks like a cross between the White House and your average colonial home. Very upscale and nice. I enter (in the normal way) through the front door and wander around. Most rooms are entirely empty of furniture and initially encounter no dream characters whatsoever. In fact, the house gives the impression that it is an unoccupied new construction. I'm just about ready to leave to find something fun or interesting to do and discover I'm a bit confused as to how to find the door out (or any door for that matter) when I enter a room with two college age women sitting cross legged on a wooden floor - no rug or chair. I say hello and they actually introduce themselves to me by name! They are pretty and smart, and my first thought is that they could be sorority sister pledges and maybe this home is going to be a sorority house - or perhaps I'm on a college campus. Both girls are fully and fashionably clothed, and far too smart and aloof to try and coax to do anything sexual...besides, one I could handle, but two?? Wouldn't know where to start, and they just aren't "that kind" of girl. So, I ask them to please indicate a way out or to please escort me out of the house. Neither gets up, but they each start to talk over the other giving me directions. I thank them, but the conflicting and confusing instructions fail to get me to an exterior door. I start to feel trapped and frustrated - and I wake.

(First Person Point Of View) The first I remember was sitting on the couch in my living room of my old house(always have dreams about old house for some reason). My dad was watching TV and I got up and started to watch TV with him, I believe it was the news or something like that, for some reason I didn't want to be there I need to leave and go somewhere, anywhere. I darted out the door and started running and running.(I realized it was a dream right there because of how effortlessly I was running) I don't know why but I felt suckish and just wanted to be alone. I kept on running until I got to a big street that either turned left or right, no forward. I looked left first and saw nothing but more road, couple of cars and trees. Then I looked right, and again saw more road and a couple of cars and trees, don't know why but I chose to keep running right. I kept running and running and I remember seeing a whataburger but I passed it cause I didn't want to waste time there. I kept running until eventually I got to some city with many tall buildings, I walked into one randomly and I was now in some cafeteria, I walked past people who were wearing some sort of hospital robes, sitting down eating. 'I guess this is some sort of hospital?' I thought. I saw some stairs and I was about to go up until I heard my name behind me. I turned around to see my best friend(Anita), she came running up to hug me, which I gladly returned. "What are you doing here?" Anita asked. "I'm not to sure, I just ended up here." I responded. I looked at her up and down, and she was wearing a hospital gown too, I was shocked, I didn't know she was in the hospital. "Hey... well while I have you here, there's something I need to tell you." she continued, "so remember I told you I was sick?" I just nodded. "Well it seems like its worst... I'm not going to make it, its terminal... I don't have long, that's why im here." she finished. I was even more shocked, I could feel the tears welling up. I didn't have any words to say, I knew this was a dream but I couldn't help but feel like sh*t. "Hey, its okay... I'm come to peace with it, my life was a happy one and im glad that youre my best friend." she reassured me. I was about to say something until a nurse called her name. "I have to go do some stuff but I'll come find you later when I'm able to." she said with a smile. I couldn't say anything to her as she left with the nurse. I turned back to the stairs and started running up them, I kept going until I came to the roof of the hospital, I was really high up. I remember thinking, what if I jump? will I die? (like I knew it was a dream but I still thought maybe this will kill me?) I sat down on the roof and just talked to my self. "Will it really be that bad if I die? I might as well go with my best friend. heh... life isn't fair Is it? she doesn't deserve this, I do." That's when I felt something in my pocket. I took it out to look at it, a bomb? 'Perfect' I thought. 'A bomb this size will only be big enough to kill me and minimum damage to the surrounding area' I stood up. 'If I jump off the building while the bomb is on I can die mid air without hurting anyone else.' I walked to the edge of the building and looked down. 'Its better this way' I was about to activate the bomb but then I heard something behind me, I turned around and saw my family sanding by the stair door. They looked sad and worried. "Don't do this please." My mom weeped. I saw their faces but this didn't change my mind, I backed up onto the ledge, look at all my family in the eyes and said, "I'm sorry.." I let my self fall backwards. I heard screams from my family but I just closed my eyes and pressed the bomb button, I heard it beeping and I just fell waiting for the bomb to kill me. 'If the bomb doesn't kill me, the ground surly will.' I thought. But that's when in midair I heard what sounded what I thought was a jet, but no, I opened my eyes to see Superman flying quickly arms reached out towards me. He caught me in his arms, he took one quick look at me and grabbed the bomb from my hands and quickly threw it in the air, it exploded in the sky, safety away from us. We flew back to the hospital roof where my family was, once we landed I pushed off Superman with anger. "Why did you do that?!" I yelled. "Your not even suppose to be on earth, aren't you on a mission?!" He looked at me with sad eyes, "I heard you talking from galaxies away, the rest of the leauge will be here soon." He said. I looked him in the eyes, "Why did you save me?! I didn't want to be saved!!" Then for some reason a light flashed before us and I fell backwards apparently losing conscious. (I was still there but not looking threw my own eyes, I was looking at the scene in 3rd person point of view) After the flash Superman and my family saw what looked like another me, but my body was on the ground, this other girl looked like me but with different body features, such as having long white hair, and blue eyes. Superman saw this and was on guard, "Who are you?!" He asked. She laughed a loud laugh, "I am corruption, i live inside Alma, and now after all that time I'm at my peak." She responded. Corruption looked at my body laying on the ground roof, "Pity, she isn't dead yet, well I better make fun with the time I have now." She smiled. With that black lightning came out of her hands and struck Superman, he yelled in pain which was rare for him. I was now looking from Corruption's point of veiw, I tried to stop my actions but I couldn't. Superman was pissed now so he and Corruption started to fight in mid air. After a bit of fighting, Superman was losing until Corruption's powers weakened. "Oh poo, well it looks like my time is almost up." she said. "Not so fast, what did you do to Alma?" Superman asked. "Me? I didn't do anything, she makes her own choices I just help her make them." she laughed, "and dont try to stop me, I'll be back, I'll always be within her, growing, getting stronger, the day she dies is the day I have my body, but don't worry, when that day comes I'll be sure to take good care of it." She smiled. Superman was about to lazer her but then Corruption turned into black smoke that both her and me traveled back into my own body. I woke up with my family surrounding me, i notice that i wasnt in my disguise, i was in my heros uniform. I saw superman land on the roof and i was shocked on how many injuries he had. 'I did that?' I thought. My parents looked at me with fear in their eyes, they looked like they didnt know who i was(which technically they dont know me in my hero's uniform only the desguise) I couldnt dare to look at Superman in the eyes. I stood up, i felt so much guilt to what i did to Superman, what i put my family theough. I started to walk away from them, i felt Superman's hand on my shoulder, but i smack it off, i looked at him with tears in my eyes and said, "I- im so sorry, i didnt mean to, i-" i couldnt even finish my sentent, i flew off the building and just flew away from the scene, i remember hearing Superman flying behind me, telling me that 'its okay'. The last thing i said before waking up was, "Just leave me alone!" Well this was a weird dream, it isnt the first but yea it was ome of those dreams when i didnt know it was a dream in the beggining. It was super intenst. Well until next dream, Bye~ P.s. - Pictures below are drawings of this dream. If you have any questions just message me

Realized I was dreaming this morning and had an epiphany that made sense in the dream world but I can't remember what it was.
