I'm in a house full of strangers staying over even though I'm the one actually living there with my family. I go to my room and there's a bunch of blonde Dutch boys I don't know, I angrily scream from the bottom of my lungs that they need to get out of my room. I then feel guilty. Meanwhile I'm preparing to get ready to work from home when two guys get back in the room and have the nerve to start a discussion with me about getting to stay in my room to which I angrily tell them to get out.

I then stare at my room questioning my life as I just got raging mad at two strangers over a job I don't really enjoy doing but have to because I need to pay my bills.

Guess what I had to do when I woke up
Dream was in Dutch

1. Forest Clearing Sanctuary (LD)
I look down the massive slope, which is essentially a clearing within a forest, and reflect on how this would be an awesome place to return to in a dream…wait…I’m dreaming! I take in the sights, and the nature scene is beautiful. The clearing runs roughly one hundred yards down a mountainside and is roughly thirty meters wide. There is a wooden structure toward the bottom, slight to the right, and a lantern set on a table part way down the slope. There’s a DC standing by the table. I float down the slope, considering where to explore. I’m interested in exploring the inside of the structure as in has a sacred, spiritual type feel to it. As I get close, I notice that the side is actually completely open; there are no walls or doors. As I get even closer, the scene goes from being slightly obscure, to rapidly changing to a tunnel of sorts. I find it strange, but keep entering. Once inside, I believe I’m waking up.

*False Awakening

2. Wall and Floor Phase (LD)
I’m in bed and figure I should do a nose plug since I just woke up. I breathe once…twice… I’m dreaming! I stand up and notice a figure next to me, yet notice it’s not H. It seems that it’s B… a type of re-creation from childhood. I get up and move away, feeling like getting out of the area. I phase right through the wall into another room. B is still in this room, yet the visuals are not super clear. I figure I’ll just phase right through the floor. I simply sink right through, but as I start entering the next area, I wake up.

W2: Office Laser Tag
In a dark office, running around between cubes, playing laser tag? Or something more serious? [Memory has faded on details and how intense it was]

W2: Morning After Party [DS]
I'm walking outside with my dog G, we come across something on the ground I see is a dead skunk and something else perhaps, I say "No, G!" when he starts to sniff around it. Walking farther, I hear voices coming from the other side of a fence I'm walking along. I think these are the voices of drunk people still partying from the night before. I come around the fence and see my wife L (?) in a fairy godmother dress, she "snaps on" the front part of this dress as I watch. I'm jealous, I think she's been spending time with other people.

W2: Billiards
I'm lining up a shot on a billiards table. I'm standing at the left corner of the table and leaning over the table with my cue stick. The cue ball is still rolling from the previous person's shot. While still rolling I start manipulating the cue ball with my cue stick positioning it for a good shot for some balls on the far side of the table, aiming for the opposite (far right) corner. I think this may not be quite right, and as I think this someone says "hey, can you do that? was there a foul?" I ignore this and keep lining up my shot but am not hurrying it up a little. I stop positioning the cue ball and plan to use strong left English to make the shot, as my desired object ball is very close to another ball and I can't get enough angle on it, so I decide to try to use "throw". I position my cue on the extreme left side and slowly stroke. I end up double-tapping the cue ball, and the shot is weak, so that no ball hits a rail after contact. I know this is a foul and that my opponent will have ball-in-hand next.
[strong recall of this scene because I woke directly form it]

W2: Fragment
Something outside with people?

1. Void Tendrils (LD)
I'm walking to the bathroom in Serrano, and feel that I should do a nose plug. I can breathe the first... then second, then third attempt... holy sh**! This is a dream! I fly through the wall and enter the void. I decide to head to a forest area and visualize a forest, but decide against it, getting a feeling it may be a creepy scene for some reason. I then decide to head to The Village and begin to visualize it. Nothing forms however, and I just stay in awareness in the void. After a while, a single tendril comes down from the top of the void. I find it strange and tug at the tendril. The scene begins to feel a bit creepy. I then not notice a few more tendrils come down from the top of the void, and I begin tugging at them, wondering about their nature.
-- I then slip into a semi-lucid state where I'm a friend of mine trying to learn to LD and not sure if he's aware in a non-REM state - I'm giving advice from 'outside the dream'. I begin to state that maybe he isn't able to lucid dream.
-- I return to lucidity, however I'm still in the void. The entire experience still has a nightmarish, creepy feel to it. The tendrils are still present, and I wonder if something from the external, waking-life environment may be creating the input of the tendril. I wonder how to handle the void and the strangeness of staying in this space. I figure i can just meditate through, practicing equanimity. I get the thought that lucids must be annoying sometimes for omnis. I decide not to meditate through it, however, and simply decide to wake myself up. I simply close my eyes, curl up my dream body, and hold my breath...and I'm awake thinking about how strange the experience was. (1)


*Blue Light Glasses (Almost Lucid!)
Why is mom at my work? Why is she giving me nine blue light glasses? Nose plug...nose plug. Oh! This is a....Wake up

2. Red Blast wave (LD)
I'm in a dark room and suddenly realize I'm in a dream. I shout "Clarity Now!" several times, intense demanding clarity. I use verbals, telling myself, "E, this is all a dream!...you have total control!". The dream shudders at the intensity of the verbals, and a red blast wave shoots out from me in all directions, with a loud sound. I go to cast a fireball and see a shift in colors, and slight bits of energy, and the dream shudders again. The dream soon fades.

3. The Nightmare Train - Dream Yoga Stage IV (LD)
I'm one some type of large vehicle that appears to be moving along tracks. I suddenly realize I'm dreaming and notice that I'm in the very front compartment of what appears to be a train. The scene is very dim, and I gaze out through the window to my left into the tunnel beyond. I consider leaving the area, but suddenly think of dream yoga stage 4 (2): creating and resolving a nightmare. I turn to the small compartment behind me and begin to imagine and encourage a creepy scene. As I gaze into the dark area and notice the image of a coffin. I get sense that an undead creature is within and may soon escape. I instinctively create a holy healing light and cast it toward the coffin. The nightmare resolves, and the undead threat seems to vanish. I head to the front and through the glass window, into the train tunnel. I head down the tunnel a few steps, then turn toward a small alcove in side of the concrete tunnel. I see my reflection in blue circular convex port-hole in the edge of the tunnel. I phase through the portal and the dream becomes a bit unstable as I enter the next room. I ground myself by engaging tactile sense, scaling up net. The tactile sense seems to ground me into the dream and prevent it from fading. I soon enter dark room, and demand clarity several times. The dream comes into focus and I'm in a house type area. Dream soon fades.

*False Awakening

4. Lofi Joy (LD)
I'm laying in bed, recalling my last lucid (actually fairly accurately) and I decide to nose plug since I just woke up. I can breathe once, then twice...then a thrid... This is a dream! Awesome! I get up, and head into the bathroom area. I want it to be a bit clearer so I start shouting "Clarity Now" and begin thinking about what to do. I consider teleporting, realizing this isn't exactly the coolest place to be in a lucid, so I decide to simply phase through the window to my left. I gives a bit of resistance at first, so I remind myself..."This is a dream!"...I can essentially do whatever I want. The resistance goes away and I I phase through the window and end up in a grassy area outside. I consider the next area to go to, and simply phase through a wall to my left and end up in a dark area in the 1st floor of a fairly large house, still resembling Serrano. I shout "Clarity Now!" a couple times and the dream becomes more clear. I decide to turn into a Djinn, and my body becomes massive - roughly 12 feet tall - with massive arms with a bluish tinge and thick gold bracelets. I have a long, thin, wispy black beard as well. I feel power coursing through me and go to cast lightning. It's very wispy and not very vivid. I put some effort into visualizing it and I see small wisps of lightening head in the direction of the counter. I head into the next room and consider where to head next. I decide to use a tornado to teleport. I sit in a cross-legged meditation posture and wave my arm to conure a tornado. Nothing happens, and I remind myself it's a dream and I have total control. I go twice more, and on the second hear large bursts of wind and see wisps of wind starting to swirl. I close my eyes and begin thinking of a nature scene. Right away, I begin to see a beautiful bright blue sky with some clouds and my vision pans downward to include grass. I suddenly find myself in a super vivid area, and I realize I'm on the bottom of the driveway at the main house in The Meadow. I see the mailbox reversed in front of me. All of the colors are extremely bright and vibrant, and I feel that it's more intense than in real life. I begin flying and look at amazement at my hands and arms at how detailed they are. I start hearing Lofi music and the music is absolutely amazing! I think that I can't wait to share the dream on dreamviews. I fly, listening to the song, wanting to remember it when I wake. I see bright construction vehicles in the street and begin hopping across them, having fun. I'm super happy and excited. I begin thinking of what to practice, and thin of invisibility. I become invisible, yet there is no one nearby to test it for sure. I decide to transform, and turn into a mouse, skittering in front of large blue submarine looking vehicle. I fly farther down the street, reverting to my normal size and think about searching for the chocolate shop in The Village, but decide against it since this is a different area. I look to my right but decide against that road. I head to the building in front of me and it's light brown in color and a bit run down, slightly resembling a barn. The front right door is open and a name close to "Dr. Drawg" is carved into the wood. I ignore this area. I wonder where it The Meadow to explore, and think of the area down and to the right. I see a couple houses and know that the Greek Temple is in the area beyond. I decide against it hand head back to the road to my left. I see the front of a house wide open and peer inside. The area is leading to... The Village! I see the rustic buildings lining each side of a walkway. There seems to be light snow in the scene. I look down and see a snowboard, and decide to try to get on and ride it into town, but it's a bit difficult. I see another high-tech board in front, but that one is tough to jump on as well. I look back up, and see the new scene of a super high tech futuristic city with circular white platforms floating in the air beyond. I don't particularly feel like a high tech area, so I look down, then back up, now edge of cliff with massive, one to two kilometer drop to ground below. I begin descending, sliding down the edge of the massive cliff. I realize I may risk losing stability, so I engage tactile senses while sliding down, and imagine myself approaching the ground more rapidly. I see the area shifts to pockets of houses, like sections of the suburbs. I hit ground the ground fairly quickly, and see many people milling about in the town below. I see a couple large black buses. I think about how long the dream may last, and I'm excited. I use super strength to lift, then decide to get more intense, and pick it up to begin placing it on my shoulders. The dream begins to fade and I wake up.

Notes
(1) Although it was a strange experience, it was a great learning opportunity. Next time, I'm simply going to meditate through it, maintaining an open awareness.

W3: Stuff on Street
Outdoors, city street scene, daylight, I'm walking past garage metal tall shelves full of stuff. I realize that this is MY STUFF. I see little items like the little round pieces of my sprouters. I think how could my stuff be here outside, everyone will steal it! (I get into a conflict with some guy over some item and we fight? [unsure])

W3: Dinner at P&M's [vague]
I'm at dinner at P&M's. S/A the floor is very slippery. I hear my dad's voice talking, I concentrate on it and realize it doesn't really sound much like him? But it sort of does?

W3: Intimidation
Some people I'm with want me to intimidate somebody with a car. They give me several steps to perform: 1): drive up quickly to him like I'm going to hit him; 2) While my car is hovering over him lying on the ground, I'm to gun/race the engine loudly several times; [2 more? forgotten]; (honk the horn?). I am viewing my car from outside a few meters away looking at the front of it. I think this intimidation plan is a terrible idea and I do not want to do it.

W3: My car is wrong
I'm getting my car back (bought it back? from service guys?), and I'm looking at it with other people, and there are things wrong about it. My friends say "where are the 2 other doors?" (I "remember" the car was a 4-door), I look at it and see yeah this is only a 2-door. I'm starting to think they didn't give me back the right car, (or they changed it?), inside, there are various buttons/switches, but not very many, the controls seem too simplified to be my car.

W3: Traveling with L
Wife L and I are sitting at a table in big city M, I think, "after all, why shouldn't we travel? We could go to M, and to other cities". My son S2 is there, I'm asking him, in a foreign language, "how did you like city <city>?"

W3: Driving in car
Some people and I are driving in my car, and 2 other guys each in their own cars have had something to do with my car, like they performed service on it or something. I think they may have increased the top speed of my car too much. I'm in the back seat with someone else, it's actually like the way-back, a long narrow seat like a bobsled, and I'm trying to strap in with the seat belt, both of us. The other two guys speed on ahead of us, I see looking out the front window, they're driving things like go-carts, very low, open, wide wheels, and I think they're driving 130 and 150.

W3: They'll find you
[waking up thought?] I think that no matter what country you try to run to and hide in, the intelligence agency will be able to find you. If you leave the country for too long.

W1: Boy Scouts
At Boy Scout camp, outdoors, I realize that I've forgotten my utensils (also, plate and cup)! This is the first time this has happened! I'm wondering how I'll eat. Talking about this with a friend and they say, "at least you have your pocket knife," and I realize this is true, so it's not all bad

W1: "Dad" Group
Indoors in a large open room like a public or University library there is a group of young boys around 10-11yo at a table, they are really happy to see me, they all shout in unison, "Dad!" I see a young version of my best friend MkRb, then I see another copy of him in a different spot

W1: [Fragment]
Something outdoors with a group of people, and an underpass?

W2: New 3D chip! [DS]
At work at [company R], I'm with my office mate StPd and we're working on a gaming cabinet trying to bring up our new 3D graphics chip. I manage to get a high-res graphics display working, seems sort of like old Apple II hires graphics (greens and purples), and a screen scene sort of like the old Apple II game "Star Wars" [trying to shoot the TIE fighter], we get it working and there is a screen of some animating objects, spinning around, we're really happy, game dev guy JyEsnlwr comes by and we do a (virtual?) high-5.

Walking through the building/large open room, I'm eating (somebody else's?) Cheeze-Its.

Another demo station, there is a guy working on the VR goggles. He takes off the head set and offers it to me, I see it clearly, it looks very realistic, I see the goggle outline, the head band and the two eye piece screens on the inside. I put it on and try it out. It's running a program of the display of a sort of a 3D mummy/skull, brown and black, amazingly vivid, and I'm moving my head around, left and right, and appreciating all the changing lighting and shadowing effects a I move my head.

There is a guy where who is challenging me about the scanline programming. He's demanding that I answer about the nature of the scanline layout, what the stride between lines is, I feel like he's trying to trap me in to admitting that I don't understand or mis-designed it. I'm thinking about his questions and don't want to give a wrong answer. Then I finally realize and say "Well, of course the right answer is to have a register which holds the value of the scanline stride, so that it can be completely programmable."

1. Ground Slam (LD)
I’m laying down on my stomach taking a nap and my lucidity starts to rise. I guy wants to cut into my shoulder blade and I feel drowsy so I simply think it doesn’t matter since it’s a dream. He starts to cut in and my back starts to hurt, although one sore area feels relieved. I find the pain very strange, and I'm fully lucid. I feel I need to do something and get defensive. I get up and my dream body transforms into a giant form and power starts to surge through me. The dream is very dim, but I continue slamming him literally into the ground by pounding with my fists. I then follow up by casting a fireball at him when in the hole. I see the fireball get cast through the dim fogginess of the dream. The dream fades.

2. Invisibility Snap (LD)
I’m walking next to a group of people, along with one of my friends, outside of a building which resembles a school. I suddenly realize I’m dreaming and decide to simply phase right through the door near me to get into the building. I start thinking about where I want to go. I turn to my right. I enter into a bathroom and realize I need to pee. I realize it’s kind of silly peeing in the dream, but I feel I need to, so why not? I then, by habit, go to wash my hands realizing that washing and drying is silly as well. I see myself in the mirror to my left and begin to think about casting frost or fire. I remember back to imagining a spell tome attached to me. I imagine the tome quickly in my mind’s eye, but don’t actually check to see if it’s in my left hand. I go to cast fire, yet visuals don’t quite appear. I leave the bathroom and think about what else I can practice. I suddenly think of invisibility, and snap my fingers on my right hand, imagining it’ll begin then. I see a couple characters gathered in the hallway and I simply walk past them without them seeing me. I continue to make my way outside simply by phasing through the door. A group of people gathered outside doesn’t see me either. I fly a bit farther, and reach a chain link fence. I begin scaling it, but the top bends as I do so, the group of people behind me watching. I begin making my way over, but the dream begins fading. I engage my senses, feeling and visualizing myself climbing the gate, and the dream persists a bit. The dream eventually fades.

3. The Yellow Screen (LD)
I’m lucid as a screen yellow screen with a woman displayed on it. I’m trying to hold onto the dream and begin walking through the dim environment, the screen continuing to follow me as I walk into the dream scene. I appear to be in the hallway of the main house in The Meadow. I begin heading down the stairs and the dream fades.

4. Screen Phase (LD)
I’m in a bedroom watching a really funny commercial of a guy showing how people are misinformed with information. He’s going through various rooms in his home. I think it would be cool to simply phase into the scene, and I suddenly realize I’m dreaming. I turn to B behind me, telling him I’m going to phase, but he’s restricting me. I break free and begin to phase into the screen, but wake up.

5. The Child (LD)
I’m in a dark area and B tells me that there’s a child in danger, yet no one will be able to help. I go with the plot and pick him up, flying him over to the entrance of the dark building. I leave him for a moment and go outside into the daylight to look for assistance. I hear from the group inside that they’re going to call for a doctor, but feel I’ll be able to do a better job. I fly back in by phasing through the door, grab him, and head back out by phasing through the door with him. The dream begins fading, yet my lucidity rises a bit. I imagine myself on a small island and have slight visuals of myself within the scene. The dream fades.

W2: Video Presentation
In a room, (small circular), with a teacher, we're setting up a video class for kids.

W2: Outdoor Pools [DS]
[DO] I'm looking down over two pools side-by-side.

delete

1. Invisible (LD)
I pass the group of boys in the room which resembles a restaurant. I make my way a bit further into the room, suddenly realize I'm dreaming, and I'm happy about it. There are several booths with people in them spread throughout the room and a wall in front of me which seems to block the passageway which leads out of the building. I think about what I want to do and decide against teleporting; I feel it's best to enjoy the current dream. I decide to simply head around the wall and leave the building. I enter an outdoor area in daylight which somewhat resembles a sidewalk in a city type area. There are tall builds to my left, a fairly busy street to my right, and a wide cream colored concrete pathway leading down the area. I begin thinking about some dream goals, and figure I'll play around with transformation for a bit. I decide to transform into crow form, and suddenly my body shrinks down to roughly twelve inches or so. I decide to look at my dream body to see how accurate the transformation is. I see that I have some human features including shoes and think it looks silly. I begin walking again and suddenly return to human size. I begin to see some shining lights which emanate from the buildings. There's also a small metal structure which resembles a bus stop of sorts. I walk a bit further and notice a female police officer. For some reason, I get the feeling she may be looking for me, so I decide to transform into a mouse and rapidly make the transformation, shrinking down to several inches and feeling my body take the shape of a mouse. I see two large metallic structures to my left, against the side of the large buildings, which are shaped similar to an electric razor and have several convex pods on the end. She seems not to notice me and I skid past her, moving slightly underneath one of the metallic structures. I suddenly remember invisibility from dreamviews competitions and decide to try it. I talk a few steps forward and revert to human form in the process. As I approach the officer, I imagine myself becoming invisible. I hear an interesting, loud decrescendo of a low pitched electronics, and I easily move past her without her noticing. As this happens, the dream begins to fade and I transition to a dream where I spend a solid three to four minutes dream journaling most of the lucid.

2. The Emerald Tree (LD)
I suddenly become lucid in the second story of a building which resembles a large house. There are several windows to the outside as well as an opening to the room to my right. I transition into this room and simply fly out of the house. Once outside, I look down and see a group of people in roughly their thirties looking up at me from a table. There are about five of them eating a meal together and they're smiling at me with interest. It appears that they're having a barbeque out on the deck of the house. I want to have fun and play around and say in a playful voice that I'm flying and ask if they know how. I find the interaction really funny, and they ask me how I'm doing it, staring in wonder. I tell them that I just meditate a lot, and I fly forward and to the right, past the group. I descend a slight bit, and in mid-air, and think about what I want to do for a moment. The group says something to the effect that I have a lot of skills and I'm good at what I'm doing. I turn to my right and see a massive tree in the distance. It's roughly twenty to thirty stories tall with a straight vertical tree trunk leading to a massive spherical top filled with green foliage. It seems to be emanating emerald hues, and I find the scene beautiful. I think back to the portion right before I came lucid where H was telling me what things in life are best for me. I find that this would be an interesting thing to ask the dream, so I turn to my right and ask something close to "Dream... what is best for me"? I don't get a response. I try once again, and move fly a bit in the direction of the response. I don't get a response yet again, and I see the group at the table smiling at me with amusement. I look at one of the guys and say to him in a funny playful way, "Don't say anything, guy!" I find the interaction really funny as I think he's going to mess around with me playfully. I think about what I want to do next and fly in the direction of the green foliage in the distance in an expansive area. I continue to think about where I'd like to travel to, then wake up.

Mechanics Realms (NLD) 08.10.2023

I don't know if I was lucid because I would have gone with the plot either way. I was the creator of a video game that is very similar to minecraft creative mode except the voxels are 1 decimeter and there is mechanics that allows for non grid snapped creations that work with physics simulations. The map is an infinite fractal where each voxel just has a color. Players move out from the center and claim voxels that they can then color and manipulate. Most voxels are smooth but you can instead choose to have a little stud which is like a lego stud and the voxels can rotate around them. I think it was called "mechanics realms" or something like that because the physics simulations let you make advanced physical mechanisms like zeplins and such.

When the game started out, the player base was claiming the area immediately around 0,0,0. I could see a map of the players progress sort of like r/pixel. People seemed to like the game but it wasn't catching on right away. This is where I started alternating with another plot line. Outside the game I was one of the friends of the teenage aged kids from Stranger Things. I tried to get them to play the game but they lost interest quickly. Lucas had a big basketball game coming up and I really didn't like some of the players on the other team. They were bullies. Luckily the other team sucked so Lucas won the game.

Back in the game, I added a mechanic similar to the nether in minecraft where there is a plane you can teleport to to travel faster relative to the overworld. When I came back to the overworld I was in a complex and colorful fractal like cave!

Back in the "real" world I tried to tell them about the game while hanging out. I think there was some dialogue but I suck at remembering dialogue. Then I woke up to my alarm.

W2/3: City Skiing
DO there are people skiing on city streets. The streets are very steep, like in San Francisco. There steep hill sections between intersections are broken up by level areas where the cross streets go across the steep vertical streets, so the steep sections are not continuous hills but have flat areas every block. There are cars also driving on the streets and I'm sort of amazed that the skiers are able to share the streets with the cars.

W2/3: Burning Building
[Some longer part of the dream, forgotten] In the distance I see a large building with smoke coming from it, it is probably on fire.

W2/3: Mega Theater/DMV near epic
Entering the Theater

I'm with a male friend and we're in line for a major performance in a theater. As we approach the main entrance, the usher stops the line and blocks the entrance with a ribbon, right in front of us. I think "what bad luck, we almost made it in." There is a huge crowd still in the lobby/entry way in front of us. I think there is space for us still in the line. The crowd surges forwards, and now there is room for us and they remove the ribbon and let us in. We join the crowd surging forwards to hurry in to the theater. We enter it, it is cavernous, a huge theater with many levels and many different seating sections. We're in the back right corner of the theater, either ground level or 2nd level. The theater extends very far in front of us and to the left, it is really huge.

Finding our seats

Everyone is rushing to find their seats before the performance starts, because once they lower the lights it will be impossible to find the seats and we'll have to leave the theater. We've moved to the left hand side of the theater, it's really confusing, I'm trying to figure out where we're sitting. The seat is marked by a combination of section, (then row and seat #?), but I can't figure out where our section is. I figure that I can bisect the search by finding the sections larger than our and less than our and then ours will be in the middle. There are sections full of seated people all around us.
[A lot more, really long dream, forgotten]
S/A meeting w/ people in a central area?

Enter the DMV

There is a really large indoor lobby, this is the (DMV?) we're here to do some administrative tasks. We enter the large area and descend to the ground floor, we need to get through a turnstyle/gate, some people (my friend?) is let through, but I'm detained and brought to an administrator. The admin says that I am denied service because of a violation, and shows a video of me at some automated robot kiosk where I supposedly was earlier, the kiosk (robot? clown?) asked me a question and I gave a flagrantly false answer. And because of this lie, they are denying me service.

I begin to make my way out of the bathroom and see another man entering. I feel I'm not supposed to be there, so I try to be discreet. I suddenly realize I'm dreaming. I don't want to be in the bathroom, so I just walk into the wall to teleport. My vision goes black and I start imagining a snowy scene, with building in the periphery comprising a small town. I hold the visual for a while, and eventually shift to just picturing snow. Suddenly, I find myself in a massive depth of snow - about six feet or so - and I appear to be in the middle of the street in The Meadow. I'm really excited and think "I did it"! I'm super happy, and all the snow is beautiful. I become excited to post the experience on dreamviews. I think of where I want to explore to, and I'm drawn to exploring farther down the road - an area I've never been. As I glide farther, I realize there's progressively less snow until I arrive at an area where it's essentially gone completely. I see several three story structures at the edge of the street and they appear to be tall houses. I'm excited to explore them, but look inside and get a creepy vibe from them. There are some items inside which remind me of the Halloween season, several black skulls and some items which makes me think that they belong to witches. I make my way between the first couple of houses into a T intersection in the pathways. I decide to turn around from this area, and leave by heading back through one of the buildings. I enter and see there's large panes of glass on either side of the back portion of the main room and an area in the middle to transition through. The area is filled with many colorful items, yet slightly macabre. I head through the area between the glass and enter an area behind the building. I begin thinking about dream goals and consider element manipulation. I try to visualize an ice shard appearing above my right upturned palm, yet it's very faint once again. I try transformation once again, attempt to visualize turning into a djinn. I notice a small increase in the size of my arms, and my body grows slightly. I then try transforming into crow form. I put some mental effort in, and suddenly my dream body shrinks down to under twelve inches or so. I don't fly, but continue moving and my body reverts. I continue into the area beyond, see a mirror against the wall and think of technology use. I imagine pulling a cell phone out of my pocket and see a faint image, yet dark, of myself in the mirror, yet don't see the item. I don't use the phone for anything however. I consider teleporting once again, yet figure I might as well enjoy the area. I continue further into a series of many buildings. In the first, several kids are gathered for some type of activity. I float upward to a second story area and there's a small lobby type area with several people gathered. One lady in front of me is on a treadmill, and I find this amusing. I leave this area and float to an outdoor area with asphalt. I reflect on how long the lucid feels, and that it isn't taking much effort to keep stable. Suddenly a large cream colored truck - possibly a cement truck - is partially on top of me and I'm knocked over and pinned under the hood. I reflect on how lucids may be exhausting for omnis. I use my strength to pry myself from under the truck. Once standing, I consider to what to do next, yet wake up.

W2: Bathroom Pod
In an indoor space, house maybe, or a dorm, I need to pee and I enter the bathroom, which is a round room right about 2-3 meters in diameter in the middle of a corridor. It has sliding curtains on each end, and I slide them closed on both sides. At the top where the curtain meets the wall, there is a latching mechanism that locks the curtain in place. I flip the lock (down? up?) (it's like a light switch, a vertical lever) on both pieces.

W2: Sports Announcer Room
I'm getting a tour of a large complex, like a sports stadium administrative area, or a (old?) school. We're in a room that I think is used by the sports announcers when they're giving the play by play of the games. It's a sort of messy/decrepit area. My vision focuses on a wall where there's a blackboard. The blackboard is not clean, there are signs of previously written things there, or a template that is used over and over again, I think it needs to be cleaned. On the wall are signs of left-over posters (?). The guy giving the tour says that "it will be painted" (the walls...to a grey color?).

W2: Touring the Housing Complex
Possibly a continuation of Sports Announcer, the guide and I are traveling outside in daylight along a gravel road that leads through a housing complex. The houses are to the left and right. It is a wide open area with no trees on flat ground, only the gravelly road and the houses up ahead. The houses, particularly on the left, are maid of large, brightly colored stones that look like jewels, many different colors in patterns along the front of the houses. The guy giving the tour said the houses are made of "native stone." (Go inside one of the houses and see some of the people there?)

W2: Movie Theater
I'm sitting in a movie theater. I'm in a central seat in the central back section. The theater is about 30-40% full, with people evenly spaced around the entire seating area. The seating area does not slope much, and the heads of the people sitting in the front sections will obscure the screen a little bit. The screen area is like a small clamshell theater stage, approximately a hemi-sphere. There is scaffolding in the area -- it's currently under renovation apparently. I can see the areas of the curved wall that have been freshly painted/covered with spackle. The display area left to the projector is quite small, I think. Just a few square feet.

A guy comes in and walks down the left aisle and seats himself in the left-of-center section. This is a guy "I know" and "am waiting for," in our group, and I think he should be sitting with us, and that we perhaps should signal him so he can come sit with us.

W3: LD Cream
[Waking up hypnogogia?]
DO, observing, holding in my hand a can of cream. It's used to help LDing? S/O says (or it's written on the can) "I'm 24 and it's still difficult for me." Then S/A taxation, and how the price will keep going up because the taxes will increase, while the base price of the item stays the same.
