I went to bed at 9pm last night and yesterday instead of at 3am. I had a short lucid moment and non lucid dreams but I forgot what happened. I through all that out the window focusing on school and getting on time. Still sleeping early feels really weird now. It feels out of place but I know this is going to be good for my health and my lucid dreaming.

I remember a female teacher with superpowers in my dream. A male student threatened her, but she just scared him off by conjuring fire.

Special thanks to JadeGreen for Apprenticing me, at least for the time being!

I remember I had to take care of my new youngest cousin. She was just a baby learning to walk and her name was 'Baby'. I remember thinking to myself how that name wouldn't make complete and total sense because when she got older she wouldn't be a baby anymore. She kept challenging me to races around the house and for someone who seemingly learned to walk yesterday boy was she fast. But I still beat her. She didn't get upset she just continually challenged me pointing out different courses we could take.

More Lego Dreaming. Don't remember what it was about. (this is the 6th straight night there's been something Lego related.)

...

I remember walking down a beach. I was with my family and cousins. (Different cousins, my mom's family cousins.) We were supposedly on holiday in northern Michigan. I remember we were staying in a beach town and visiting the beach. My aunt said something about people not agreeing if it was 60 degrees or 80 degrees.

I remember walking past these dream characters playing in the sand. One of them had this contraption that was making perfect ~6in sand cubes and sticking together like Minecraft blocks. He was making quite the sand castle, too.

I remember looking a ways down the beach and seeing that it got less crowded. I decided we should go there. But at some point before we reached our final site on the beach that I became lucid. I did a reality check, and laid down some stabilization by wiggling my toes in the sand.

For some reason I remember messing with the colors of the dreamworld. It was kind of like adjusting things in Photoshop where you can make the colors extremely vivid or something. Eventually the setting that I decided upon was slightly more vivid than it was before. It was pretty, though. I also managed to change the temperature in the dream world to be warmer.

I began walking back up into the town. I just remember the town had this row of white buildings on a slight hill, then a road, then a large plaza-like area where I was standing. The town also had a train station and a bakery. The bakery was a very small building with a glass storefront close to the beach where we had been earlier. There was also a massage center next to it... Interesting choice of buildings...

I remembered one of JustMe13's challenges. (Actually I think it was a false memory.) I remembered that I wanted to experiment with food in a dream. I reached into hyperspace (behind me) and pulled, well it looked like a muffin or a small pie. I bit off part of the top. It had flavor and texture, that was a lot like eating corn bread or a nut muffin or something. Not super strong, discernible flavor, but reasonably strong.

I then realized that I've had food before in a dream. Now here's where I can take it to the next level. I need a second food item. I want to see if I can get something that tastes different. I think to go into the bakery, but when I do, it turns out the bakery was a much bigger building on the inside than it was on the outside, and there was a gigantic line of DCs. I remember right in front of me were five or six tall black men with spears and loin cloths. Some kind of tribesmen. I didn't want to pick a fight, so I just figured I'd reach into hyperspace again and hope for something different.

This time I got a chocolate frosted plain doughnut. I started to make my way back outside. I sampled the doughnut. Different texture, softer. Different flavor, could taste the frosting. Back to the muffin. Kept going back and fourth between the two, until I'd eaten them both.

I somehow wound up wandering into the train station while I was distracted. A security guard grabbed me and another guard told her to 'put me with all the other weird ones'. She locked me in the second story room of the train station. I remember there were some brains sitting out on the table. There was also this guy with long blonde hair. He had a viking helmet on and looked to be about 20. (Also he was a disembodied head nailed to the bulletin board, must not forget that small detail.) He smiled at me and said that the brains I saw sitting on the table were from people that had lost their minds. Apparently this room was essentially the Train Station's lost-and-found.

But that didn't change the fact that I was waiting for the guards to figure out what they were supposed to do with me. There was one window in the room, but I didn't feel like breaking it or squeezing out. I figured I'd teleport somewhere else, or at least try. I felt like I'd already been in an LD for several minutes, so if I woke myself up trying to teleport, I'm not wasting the whole dream.

I remember I put my hands together and did like that ninjitzu thing.

"Tesseract-A-Beach"

I was very surprised when the dream actually changed to a beach setting. It wasn't the one from before. I remember seeing the ocean with waves rolling in and the white sand. (Granted I had been on a beach earlier in the dream, maybe that's why I had success.) There was a single palm tree and a cluster of fern like plants. The sky was clear with only a few clouds.

I've had many a failure with teleportation in the past, so my first instinct was a celebration. I think I jumped up and down and shouted "WA-HOO! I TELEPORTED!" I noticed that the dream was getting dark. I knelt down and felt the sand trying to hang on, as the dream was starting to become unstable. "I TELEPORTED! I'M PROBABLY GOING TO WAKE UP NOW, BUT I TELEPORTED!" [Does a little happy dance.]

Yeah I did end up waking up a little bit later. There might have been a false awakening that I forgot.

I was in school, arguing with math's teacher about my grade. I wanted to get a 3 mark for the end of semester that is incoming. I wanted her to give me something to do on a board. She written me a weird, convulsed formula on the board, using a black pen. I said her that this was the one that I actually couldn't do, and asked for another saying "I can make the one with using (y-YA) and stuff", but in the end I asked if I incoming test would be enough.

I had a doctor's appointment. The recepcionist game me a key for a locker where I could leave my things. The hospital was like a maze, I had a hard time finding the locker.

On my way back home, I realized I had left my jacket and phone in the locker, so I went back, only to see the hospital had become an asylum. I asked the whereabouts of the locker again to the recepcionist, but they were all crazy people, so I started running. At some point I noticed one girl looked like she knew what was going on, which made me stop. I said out loud: "alright guys, this is either a dream or a prank". For some reason, I ruled out the first possibility at once, deciding it was just those guys playing a prank on me. They admitted to it, which made me very angry because I had had a bad time. I demanded they gave back the things I had in the locker, and before anyone could notice me, I took off in my car so they had to come back on foot.

This dream was pretty cool, I tried to write it out this morning but I just didn't have time :/. And now, 13 hours later the dream has lost a few details.. >_<

Dream
I recall previously having seen my friends Isaac and maybe his brother? They might have been playing guitar but I can't be certain. The dream led to a grass field that reminds me a little of my high school. I'm with Michael Jordan and he's spinning a basketball on his finger. He flicks it up over to me, and I try to catch the spin with my finger and keep it going but I screw it up. I laugh a bit since it's a good time I start the ball spinning on my finger but for some reason I'm struggling (usually this is pretty easy IRL). We get invited to play a game of soccer, he's super keen since he's sport as heck. I feel a bit anxious about playing soccer since I'm gobshite at it, but I'm feeling really confident in MJ's presence. The grass is green and the sun is warm, it's just a game of soccer with friends so who cares if I'm good or not . We get straight into the midst of it all, the ball shoots towards me so I jump up and do a spinning kick. I miss but manage to twist my body in a way that causes my clothing to smash against it in a grazing hit. Man this is actually pretty fun!

Wish I could remember more, it's not often that a dream will actually be intrinsically fun. Getting used to the new routine with my job so my sleep was way better last night.

Terrible night.



I had a plan to meet some girl in the park for drinks, as I was walking to meet them I would see lots of people who was partying and it confused me. I kept walking a little bit till I came to a small campus site and searched for who I was looking, I decided that I could not find her so I stopped and turned around and as i was about to just walk off someone taps my back and it's her. I suddenly I have alcohol in my hands so I pass her and her friend some, but they said they didn't like beer so didn't didn't really drink it. I think it sounded quite nice, beer and pink lemonade! There was some ginger guy that came upto, I felt uneasy, awkward because I didn't know him at all. They decide that he should come along with us, so he did for a short while. Me and the girls where in some weird place, you would have to go down some slide to get inside to take the drugs, it looked weird, like it was a sweet shop off some sort. As the dream goes further, I notice how that my tounge has dissapeared and I'm panicking, she won't help me at all, I don't know what to do, so I'm ringing home for help.

I was in a dormetry, with some guys that I don't know im real life. I was suppose to meeting up with Hannah but I kind of most track of time, I was in a different classroom, I don't remember all of it, but I rmemeber one of the lads trying to scare me, it seemed I thought the class was apart of dream views, I thought it was the intro class because I was thinking I was going to be shouted at for swearing in there haha. I leave the room and messaged Hannah to see where she was, I blanked her by accident and she didn't even come and get me, I flipped out and said "I'm sick of this". I found myself on a main road with lots of shops, just walking and walking, I see some boys on a bike, I pay attention to them but really I should ignore them, I was thinking which way should I go to pass them, I eventually picked a way.

Not much from this dream, spellbee saying something because her cat or dog had shit in the house haha. There was something about being a pub, also the lads from the last dream what In it, the dream took place in the future and was looking at how the boys have grown up.

Bed: 23.00
Wake up: ~07.10
Now: 07.35


Dragons
I'm in the setting of the movie How to Train Your Dragon. I'm in a stone valley. There's an alpha (level 10?) dragon which needs to be defeated. There are a lot of dragons around, but none are strong enough to challenge him. There's Toothless, the Night Shade, but he's not very big, whereas the alpha dragon is huge. There's quite a big dragon which might be a challenge to the alpha male. It has two long necks and two heads. It belongs to someone else though. The main character of this dream (I think I'm just spectating) sends a message on a scroll to the two people to which this dragon belongs to that he really needs their permission to use this dragon to defeat the alpha dragon. He doesn't get it, because the owners don't like him. Eventually he challenges the alpha male with Toothless. He wins.

Black
Not sure what I'm doing. I'm outside and one of my best friends makes a black joke. I consider seriously snapping at him cause I've had it with all the black jokes. Then I realise that this is the first black joke he's made in a very long time. Someone else has been making black jokes for so long that I've grown tired of it [in reality this is my housemate]. I decide not to lash out at him, but I do give him a note about how I value our friendship and that if he wishes to remain friends he should stop making black jokes. While he's reading it, I walk away, rounding two corners around a building that no longer exists in reality. There's 2 people doing something with horses in a trailer. I offer my assistance, despite me not having a single clue what to do. The only thing I do know is to stay away from the rear. Apparently one of the horses is pregnant. I want to assist, but she gives birth within just a few seconds. My friend joins me to tell me that he won't make black jokes. I'm relieved by it.

Korfbal
I'm standing besides a bus. It's not a public service bus, but one of those touring rented ones. There's a small issue with regard to who will be sitting where. Eventually we leave, only to stop again shortly after because we've reached our destination. We park in front of a house. There's a kid that apparently holds the record for most amount of goals in one season of korfbal ever. At first I thought he would be a late teenager, but apparently he's even younger than that, judging from the photo.

We're at a grass field. It's already dark out, but I can still see everything, I assume because of artificial lighting. I'm watching from the sidelines as other people are playing korfbal. There are 2 teams playing, but the way that they're playing makes totally no sense and it confuses me. It looks more like a sort of warm up. At some point a white girl of perhaps 3 years of age enters the field. She has Down syndrome. One of the players, an adult white male, scares her off the field by pretending to be a bull(?). He makes the same 'dragging your leg' movement that a bull does and it scares the girl. He follows her off the field. Her mom gets upset a bit about it. A bit later it all happens again. I think it's also kinda sketchy to frighten her.

Tram
I'm sitting in the tram. There are a few teenagers (I guess) sitting just in front of me, talking. They're having a conversation about their sex lives, seemingly not caring that they're in public. Apparently a dentist didn't take one of their sex lives into consideration, because (s)he extracted a tooth from that person and that is now messing with her sex life. At some point these kids start messing around in the tram, dancing provocatively.

Still in the tram, but I guess now with different people. They're talking about Indonesia, about the same university that I attended. I but in and say a few things about it, even though I don't know these people. The girl sitting closest to me asks me if I also want to go there. I explain to her that I've already gone and that I will go again.


So many fragments
» I'm talking with a girl about going to the cinema. It seems like it will be fun. Another girl in the mean time tells me that I should let the girl I'm going with know that I've got a girlfriend, because apparently she thinks that we're going on a date. Fuck. I'm not sure how to smoothly mention that I've got a girlfriend without it sounding weird.

» I'm walking around a bit somewhere outside during the day. There's a weird architectural object in the middle of a black square. It's a sort of stairs which is ~ shaped if you look at it from the side (so going up, down, up). It doesn't have anything to hold on to.

» I'm walking around outside during daytime. It's supposedly somewhere in the Netherlands (I'm assuming Amsterdam). I might be with my girlfriend. There's a museum which you can basically visit or kinda observe from the outside. There are a lot of people and there's a tour guide. It's a white guy my age and he's talking in crappy German. I wonder if I could do that. My German is about equally crap.

» There's something to do with a train in the evening. I want to get home I guess, but I'm not getting anywhere cause of these trains. I think I'm around the Amsterdam ArenA area. I know there's more going on here, but I can't remember.

» I'm standing in front of my mom's house on the 2nd floor. I'm looking down towards the parking lot. There's an attractive Vietnamese or Thai girl doing something with her car. I think she was washing it. I take a step back so that she won't see me. Then she is doing something else. Eventually we end up talking. It's a bit flirty/sassy. The kind where you're flirting, but trying to out-manoeuvre each other the whole time.


Just realised that when I am able to recall the race of people, most often they are white. I wonder if this is gonna change in the next few months, as I'll be moving to Indonesia and the number of white people in the city in which I'm gonna live is very limited.

Also realised that every time that I'm taking a train in a dream, it's not getting me where I want to go.

5.2.16

Night shift today and tomorrow. Took a 2 hr nap around noon, then slept about 4 hrs from 6:20-10:20pm.

Nap:
I'm at work and T, the manager from another store is there. there is a problem with a hose and he tells me to get the plastic end from an older hose to fix this one.

Bunch of "tourists" are riding on our carts.

Sleep:
My brother with his family is visiting my mom's place. She just got a new place, where I have my own room when I visit, my brother and his family have their own room and my mom and dad have theirs as well.

It's a big place, long hallways between rooms. Strange thing is that the house continues into public space and there is a lobby type of a place with tunnel that's Metro entrance. I look inside and people are allowed to only enter from that side, so no strangers are able to come up from the Metro to the house. But I still find it not safe and there is bunch of strange pedestrians walking around.

I just woke up, getting some snacks and I'm going to see if they are awake. My brothers son is up and I see him through door being ajar so I enter and I see my mom waking up as well.

I get an idea that I should go and live with her. Get a bigger place together from my rent money I pay now and we would still have some leftover from rent and we would save money.

1. I was inside of the kitchen in some sort of large office building. The floor was made of white kitchen tiles and the walls were matching white. There were kitchen utensils everywhere and it was kind of a mess, as every busy kitchen is. I was helping make a cake with 3 other guys, 2 of them were really old men that looked like professional chefs, and the other guy looked about 2 or 3 years older than me and had brown hair and was wearing a jacket. I remember mixing in the cake ingredients and then putting the cake into the oven. After an hour of waiting(It actually felt like it) the oven went off and I helped take the cake out of the oven. Oddly enough, as we took the cake out of the oven it already looked completely finished with icing and everything. We put the cake on the counter and I looked at it. The main part of the cake was covered in white icing and the outline of the cake was red and pink icing in a fancy design.
One of the old guys got some more icing and wrote 2 or 3 words in the middle of the cake. Now it was ready. The 2 old guys and I picked up the cake together. I picked up one end, and they got the other end. We then brought the cake out of the kitchen and into what looked to be the lounge/dining area of the building. In this area, the floor was covered in red tiles and the walls were an off white color. I remember it closely resembling the setup of my living room. As we brought the cake in I noticed that there were a lot of people standing around and socializing, many of them women. We walked over to a chair and for some reason we decided to place the cake on the edge of the chair arm. Once we put it down the old guys started walking away. "Why did we put the cake there? That's going to fall for sure" I thought to myself. Just then the cake started breaking in half in the middle. Seconds later the cake ripped in half and fell to the floor, splattering everywhere and making a huge mess of icing and cake.
Everyone stopped and looked at the cake in disappointment while expressing signs of disapproval. "Ohhhh mannnn!!" one lady said. I could tell everyone was definitely looking forward to the cake, and now it was ruined. The 2 old guys looked back and saw what had happened and realized that they fucked up, as well as I for just leaving it there. Some of the cake had splattered onto my clothes and hands, so I decided to leave the room and go to the restroom to clean myself up. I walked out of the room and turned left and walked not far down a hallway. The hallway was fairly dark and the only light was the light coming from the kitchen and the dining area. I opened the restroom door which was on my left, turned on the lights, and walked in. The first thing I noticed was how small the restroom was. It had one small toilet that was in the corner of it, and the toilet alone took up about 85% of all the space.
I looked in the mirror and I think for once I might have actually looked like myself, but I'm not sure. I then look down at my hands, and instead of realizing how many fingers I had, I saw that the inside of my hands had blue lines and blotches in them. "This must be the icing" I said out loud. I turned the faucet on and washed my hands. After doing so I turned the water off and looked at my hands once more. The blue blotches and lines were still there. It was then that I realized that this blue color was coming from under my skin. "Holy shit, this must be from my veins. I must be bleeding internally" I said. I then became unnerved as I had no idea what to do or really how bad this was. I turned the restroom lights off and walked out. As I did so I looked to the left of me, farther down the hallway. I remember this hallway looking like the hallways of my house, but the dream version of my house where its really really dark, except this hallway wasn't glowing blue.
I started feeling a creepy vibe, so I turned right and walked back where I came from. I remember as I walked back, that the place where I had came from changed. The dining area and kitchen were no longer there. Instead the whole area had turned into some sort of living quarters. I continued to walk down the hallway and as I did so I saw many doors and rooms on each side of me. Along the way I also saw many middle-aged and old men all walking around with tan blankets wrapped around them. "All of these guys must live here" I thought to myself. The hallway opened up to a larger area, and in this area there were escalators. I remember noticing that the sun was shining brightly through the windows all throughout this area. I went up the escalators. When I got to the top I looked around and noticed that there were many people here, all around my age. I saw Emily and Josh. Josh walked up to me.
"Are you ready my man Cory?" he asked me. "Ready for what?" I said. "The Ex games bro, where your ex chases you and you have to run away from them and not let them catch you" he said. "Oh shit, hell yeah I'm ready" I said. Josh laughed and we both waited for the game to start. I looked back behind us and saw a line of guys and girls standing farther back than the rest of us, and I assumed these people to be the exes of everyone here. They all looked evil and malicious. I then noticed my ex in the middle of the line. Suddenly a voice said from speakers built into the ceiling above us, "Ready. Set. Go." With that every sprinted forward and started running down the escalators. Everyone's exes as well as mine were already really close behind us.
I remember seeing some peoples exes grab them and rip them apart. It was then that I realized that this was serious. I ran to the escalators and instead of running down them, I jumped. In the middle of the air I realized what a stupid decision that was. I wasn't wearing any shoes or socks, so this was going to hurt. I could see the edges of the escalator steps, and they were sharp. As I came down from the air, I landed hard on the edges of one of the steps. The step I landed on was only 3 or 4 steps from the bottom. As I landed, I felt the edges of the step dig into my feet. Two sharp pieces of the step broke off into my foot and with this I felt excruciating pain, something I've never felt in a dream before. I reached the floor where the escalator ended and I stayed sitting down.
I looked at the bottom of my right foot. The 2 metal edges that broke off of the escalator were protruding halfway into my foot. I quickly pulled both of them out. As I did so the pain increased and I let out a roar of distress. Standing not far from me were 2 girls I know from school. Haley and Rebecca(My God they are both gorgeous). The saw me in pain and rushed over to me to help me. "Cory are you okay?" Haley asked. What a stupid question to ask, but I didn't care because I was just looking into her blue eyes and content with the fact that she cared that I was hurt. They both got on their knees and started inspecting my foot as though they were nurses or something, and it seemed like they really knew what they were doing. I remember looking at my foot once more. Two medium sized holes were now in my right foot, and I could see into them. Oddly enough I wasn't bleeding yet, but I could still see the flesh underneath my skin. These holes were an inch or two deep.

2. I was lucid, but I don't remember the details of it as, upon awakening, I journaled the above dream first and by that time the memory of the lucid was gone. This is the first lucid I've had during a nap in over half a year. I'm making progress.

2/5/16
Dream 1: I was playing a very detailed basketball game. I was defending quite well, I fouled a bit initially but then I started blocking a ton of shots. My dribbling was really bad though and I lost the ball a few times. The coach wasn't happy but then I focused even more on defense and started stealing the ball as well, passing it of to my teammates and everything went really well.

Dream 2: There was a boxing match which slowly turned into more of a wrestling match. One of the guys jumped up on the ropes and did a leg drop on the other guy as he was getting up, to raucous applause from the audience.

Dream 3: I was in the car with my mum on the freeway when we saw an old woman in a motorised wheelchair in front of us. She was going pretty fast, like 50 km/h, however was disrupting traffic and we zoomed around her. The car behind us however smashed into the back of her and ran her over. We stopped to see what had happened, and I slowly realised the woman was my grandma. I ran out of the car to see if she was alright, and with the help of a few other drivers we pulled her out of the wreckage and found that she, while grievously injured, was ok. The scene jumped to us all at her house, her wrapped in bandages and in bed while my mum and I were having a cup of tea in the kitchen.

Dream 4: I was in Antarctica with only normal levels of clothes on. I found an old wooden cabin and hurried inside. In there I found a pair of gloves, odd sock like things and a big fur coat, which I quickly put on to stop myself from freezing to death.

Fragment: Being at school.

I didn't log my first dream because I'm still sick but I did end up taking a nap after listening to some LD stuff on YouTube... So my dream was started by going into what looked like a car wash but it was actually some cleaver entrance (became lucid right here) into a place w/ booths that looked liked dressing rooms but actually was where you could pick out themes for kids birthday parties. In real life my husband came home from work in the middle of all of this but I didn't open my eyes & instead just let myself stay in my dream because I was now lucid.... I kept walking around inside this place & was looking for something to use to help me trigger the TOTY but I was still stuck in where I was because I could hear my husband taking a shower & my cat meowing so the real world wouldn't let me create a place outside of where I was.

I'm sure the birthday thing is because I will be at my son's Bachelor's degree graduation & I'm conflicted about it because my I'll be gone for my grandson's 5th birthday & his dad was just sentenced to 20 yrs in prison. I know I have to go to the graduation but it's important that we help our daughter w/ her kids as role models even more than usual because of this situation.

OK, so, this dream is pretty interesting. Or rather, "dreams". I'd had several lucids in a week while not actively practicing which sparked me to start posting on DV a bit, see if I could get those back to a decent consistency. That was a couple weeks ago and I had nothing between then and now. Luckily, after snoozing my alarm for what seems like ages (I think I just turned it off, actually), I got lucid... somehow. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it was a weird DEILD/MILD combo thingy. Either way, enjoy:

I was in some sort of old town, early 1900s, similar to New York City. I was in a large courtyard with a small fountain in the middle and only a few DCs sitting against on of the buildings of the courtyard doing god knows what. I was with a girl of some sort running through the courtyard essentially dragging her by her hand (she was still running). IDK what we were running for or from, but we headed out of the courtyard and into an alley. This is were it gets a little hazy. I remember spinning around as if I was trying to save a lucid dream, but I don't remember being lucid. The spinning wasn't very effective, because I woke up, still motionless and eyes closed, mind you, but awake. The thing is, normally I'll spin if I can tell a dream is fading (basically a small spark of lucidity at the last second of a dream) and can then prepare myself for a DEILD, otherwise it's a bit sketchy whether I'll stay still/keep my eyes closed. In either case, I laid still, kept imagining myself spinning just like I was when I woke up. Same area, same person I was with, same dizziness from spinning. After a surprisingly short time, I found the dream to feel a bit more real, tentatively tried to move around, and continued on like normal.

So DEILD? DILD? MILD? (I did use a mantra when I went to bed) No matter, we're lucid but, being a bit brash, I didn't bother to stabilize or really do much of anything besides continue the dream. I wasn't 100% lucid, but I did have control over everything and could think, mostly. So continuing the dream, we ran into a random door that seemed good at the time and ended up in a large stage theater right by the stage. No one was in here so I figured this was a great place to run through because, hey, we were running from something... I think. Anyway, we head up and out the theater door, when the dream starts to fade again. I try spinning like before to salvage it, but end up waking up again. Damn, I just new remembered that I had to program something! Either way, the same thing earlier happened. I envisioned myself still spinning, and after what seemed like only 30 seconds, I was able to keep going in the dream.

At this point we had accomplices, apparently. I remember them, somehow, so they were probably from earlier in the dream (the non-lucid part of which I don't remember well); two guys, around age 20, and another, still around that age that I don't recognize. We were on a very wide street, probably 100 feet wide so I'm not sure where we were anymore, but we continued walking down it because hey, if I want to code something I have to find a computer... I think. It's a dream, anything goes. I walked into the next building that caught my eye, thinking there would be a computer of some sort in there. When I got in all I saw was a very large staircase, one out of a foyer of a castle, so obviously we went up it. We had to go up a couple floors but at the top I saw it: a random table with a laptop on it. Perfect! So, I rush over to it and start looking for something to code in. The thing itself had soooo many programs open. Multiple word, powerpoint, excel files, multiple internet tabs (can't remember which browser) and plenty of other random things, so much like my computer. I decide to head to codecademy, since that's where I started and knew they had an editor and some way to run it. Unfortunately I kept mistyping the name. Either I was pressing the wrong keys or my dream was playing a trick on me.

After several failed attempts I just said screw it, clicked through everything, closed almost everything (this laptop was surprisingly fast) and opened up powerpoint. I didn't really open it, just opened one file (which had 80 something slides in it) and began deleting slides to make room. Could've just started a new file, but like I said, the dream was a little unstable. A couple people sitting on a bench nearby (may have been those younger guys) call over and ask what I'm doing. "Gotta code in a dream!" I told them. They just scoffed at me, kind of annoying but hey, they aren't interfering so I don't care. So finally, I have an empty powerpoint and no idea what to code. Well, lets make something that tells me if I'm lucid because, hey, it should return true, right?... RIGHT? So I typed in (to my recall) the following code:

Code:

def lucdity():
      if lucidity == True:
            print "YES!"
      else:
            print "no"
print lucidity()

So yeah, that's how I remember it. It may have been worse, may have made no sense at all. That probably doesn't actually do anything and would just error, but either way it was a code in a dream. And, as is typical for this dream, right as I'm about to run it -- or rather, as I'm looking for a way to run it in powerpoint, the dream fades. Quickly, too. So I start to spin, but of course I end up waking up. Well shit, guess we gotta DEILD one more time so I can finish the damn thing. So we repeat what we did earlier, really focusing at this point since I don't want all this work to go to waste. After what seems like forever, though I'm sure it was no more than a minute or to, I feel like I'm back in that building (it reminded me of some of the older buildings at Syracuse University, if any of you have been there before). Tentatively, I try moving around a little, open my eyes, and yes! We made it. I look back at the laptop to run my code, but it's already run. A big "True" is sitting in the comments section of powerpoint. OK, well, that's good. The dream confirming you're lucid is definitely a good thing. So we did it

Well, now we should continue the dream, right? I very vaguely remember tidbits on the dream before I got lucid originally, but I know we were heading somewhere. So I start to walk off with the girl I was originally with (no idea where those two guys went) but the third one steps in front of us. He threatens us with a pen, for some reason, and tells us we're not going anywhere (cliche ). For some reason I remember the pen so vividly, it was weird. The tip of it, the ballpoint with ink on most of it, but not all of it. It was one of those thick, purple ones where you twist half of the pen to write with it. I focused so intently on it, of course it means I didn't catch the dream fading. Before I know it I'm feeling my body in my bed and barely have any grasp on the dream at all. I try to imagine my dream self spinning, seeing if I could get another DEILD. And then it happens. Those damn birds outside start singing and it's all I could focus on. It probably doesn't help that I had a pretty poor grasp on the dream at hand, but I always get annoyed whenever something external stops a DEILD train. But hey, we barely got a task done, had some fun (I think the dream beforehand involved me and the girl ) and broke a small dry spell.

05-02-16 Very weird, not too detailed, and all over the place. First I am just kind of driving around in fairly large vehicles, running into some driving problems, and especially having problems with backing up in these large, earth-mover types of vehicles. Soon it turns to a point where I am kind of standing there looking at a truck filled with dirt.

Somehow this truck has two levels. One level holds dirt, the other (underneath the dirt) is filled with water. There is a hose running from the underside of the truck, to above the section containing dirt, where it can spray water over the dirt. The weird thing is, the hose just seems to hang there, but doesn't seem to be attached to anything to hold it in place, so I am trying to figure out how it works. Unfortunately, however it works, it doesn't seem to work very well.

What it is supposed to do is add a lot of water, and then mix into the dirt to make mud, but there doesn't seem to be nearly enough water, and it is just kind of being absorbed into the dirt without making any mud at all. Others are standing around, complaining about how there isn't enough water. And, being a dream, things are starting to change.

It is soon like I am looking at a sort of light blue sticky topping being poured over popcorn to make popcorn balls, except there isn't enough, and it is only coating the outside top of the popcorn, and it needs to be mixed up enough to coat everything, so it can help hold things together. Except now it is a sauce (perhaps soy sauce) being poured on the top of one of three small mounds of rice, and I am quickly eating the rice (and it is pretty good.) Problem is, all the others are now complaining, and how dare I eat all that rice, and not be worrying about eating all kinds of vegetables, instead.

Now the amount I ate was not, in any way, unreasonable, and I just get tired of listening to these people yell at me, so I say I guess I'll just have to avoid meals at 'home' any more, and eat out all the time, from here on out. I walk out the door, and start to head a couple of blocks over, where I remember seeing a Chinese restaurant, and as I walk along, I find myself muttering to myself about how I wish I had joined another foreign exchange program to England, instead of the one to the Midwest that I am actually on.

The next thing I know, I am walking from Smith's Food King and dipping onto Tamarack, before I double-back onto Dale. It is late at night, and there are several tough looking guys wandering around, and I am trying to stay out of their way, while walking down the block. I am trying to fill out some sort of grid, but things aren't starting where they should, and columns are not lining up, and it is all very weird, and I find myself trying to turn in weird test papers to Dolores Umbridge, and things are just fragmenting into nonsense as I wake up.

04-28-2016 -- Starts out all over the place with bits I can only barely remember. There were bits of Harry Potter, and I know there were some chasing scenes. I think there were some bits with wild animals and stuff, but only the barest hints remain. Eventually, I think one friend (possibly Neville Longbottom) was holding some sort of concert with a mid-level star performing, and I just missed it. Steve Glance tells me that he's bringing in somebody else for another concert in a day or two, because he wants me to be able to make that one, and I ask about ticket prices, saying I have to be able to plan ahead. He has no idea what the cost is going to be, and that seems not good to me.

I think about how much money I might need to get together, and waiting in line, and standing around, and find myself thinking that I don't think I'm a concert goer, any more ... I just don't want to be bothered with the hassles involved in getting into a concert. Never mind. So I am kind of flying out of the area (just kind of floating along) leaving my friends behind, when I start finding more and more birds in the area, and they are turning into bigger and bigger birds, some large enough to see me as prey, so I start to slow down and fly more cautiously.

I am now flying in Anaheim. At first I am flying over the street at the intersection of Brookhurst and Crescent, heading for the junior high. There is a lot of traffic beneath me. More and more traffic, then signs of an accident. The accident is getting bigger and bigger, and I keep flying a little higher to try and stay out of things. Now there are full-scale disasters with collapsed buildings, and rescue work, and construction all going on, and I'm just trying to make it across the street. So as I mentioned, there is some construction going on, and there are lots of random people walking along girders up in the sky, and they are just walking off the ends and plummeting to their doom, and nobody seems to care.

And yet there are construction workers approaching me (still flying in the air), and they seem to think I am somehow trying to jump off the beams and commit suicide, because they cannot grasp the concept that I can fly. So they are trying to catch me in nets, or knock me down by swinging pipes at me to keep me from killing myself, while ignoring all the people who actually are killing themselves, and I am just trying to dodge out of the way and get past this blasted intersection!

By this point, the intersection has changed to Crescent and Magnolia, and I am heading for Marshall instead of Brookhurst, and I am just flying higher and higher into the air until I finally manage to leave the people chasing me behind, and I finally allow myself to drop the altitude a bit, until I manage to land on the roof of one of the houses on Crescent between Magnolia and La Reina. I'm kind of catching my breath there, when I glance over and see an old, slightly beat up Domino's Pizza box. Problem is, as I am watching it, it is starting to develop reddish-orange and black stripes, and I can see blades starting to stretch out of the box.

The pizza box is in the process of morphing into Freddy Krueger, and I'm not going to have that. I start concentrating on the pizza box only being a pizza box, and trying to force it to only be a pizza box with my mind. At the same time, I am also praying that it is only a pizza box, and grabbing the box and tearing it to pieces, until there is no longer any way that Freddy can form from it. I'm just starting to relax, having beat him, when I look down, and two pizza delivery drivers have both pulled up, stepping out of their cars with brand new pizza boxes for him to morph from.

I am trying to explain that I did not order a pizza, I do not want a pizza, and if they aren't careful, they are going to release a crazed mad-man on the world, but they just want to deliver their pizzas. So I jump in the air and try to start flying again, except I instead find myself on a bus that Paul Orsi is driving, except moments later it is a helicopter, and he is trying to take it high into the sky, except that I wrestle with him for the control, and try to force a landing on Hickory, because I'm just done with the whole thing. Just as we land, I wake up.
