    Posting my lucids

      Slept between 2am-9:30am

      2a-4:30a
      Woke up an hour before my scheduled WBTB, really needing the washroom Did not recall any dreams. I went to the couch and got comfy, but then I thought that maybe I should try to WILD from bed today. Jack and I had a bit of a fight last night (more like me bitching at him ). I heard my lucid weaver 90 mins later for the WILD. I rolled over and tried to think about the music I used for my anchor yesterday, but I passed out! I think my bed is too comfy for WILDing

      4:30a-8a
      Hungry like a wolf

      There was an odd little bit where I was thinking about my failed WILD attempt in the back of my head throughout this dream.

      I was at work and very, very hungry. I was working an 8a-8pm shift and only had a bagel with cream cheese my entire shift.

      One of the cleaners (who, IRL, does manage a restaurant) offered to make me something (we have a bistro in the basement). I was grateful, but he forgot about his offer and never made me any food.

      Petra (co-worker/shift relief) came in and asked me if it was okay to do some shopping. I looked at the time and realized she was already 8 minutes late. I told her no, and she looked crestfallen.

      [Flintstone's plane?]
      I'm sitting in the backseat of a plane and my feet are hanging out the bottom. I have them held up, because we're flying VERY close to the grass. It's tall grass, mind, about 3 feet. But, we were skimming the tops of it! It grew darker outside and we passed over these tiny houses, made of felt. They were the size of dog houses, but I was told people live in them.

      As we kept passing over, more houses were covered in cotton. I was told it was for insulation.

      We reached the field clearing at the end. Petra said, "Let's build our mansion here!" I got a visual of a Sims-like grid and the wall tool (hehe).

      I replied, "Isn't that kind of insulting? Building a nice mansion RIGHT NEXT to these poor people? I don't think we should build here."

      8a-9:30a
      Jack's alarm woke me, but I passed out again.

      [Elevator]
      I found myself in this elevator, just reaching the ground floor. I held the door open for these tons of little kids. I helped ensure everyone was on and not about to get smushed by the closing door before I let it shut.

      [Lucid House]
      I recognize the feeling of weightlessness quite randomly, but I don't clue in that it's a dream. I explain to myself that this is a house that produces feelings of lucidity. I push off the ground and I'm floating. This house is really cool! For some reason, I start floating around the room (I'm in a kitchen) singing Taylor Swift's "You Belong to Me." I think again about the lucidity in this house and I finally realize the absurdity at what I'm doing

      I see a glass door (one of those slidey patio doors) near me. "I've never tried to go through glass before, I wonder if I can do it?" I thought. I drifted towards the glass to go through it, but my forehead went thump! against it. The glass felt cold and I felt the bump, but it didn't hurt.

      I walked back to the other side of the room (which was now entirely empty, by the way) and braced myself to run for it. I quickly shot through my mind, "What if this destabilizes the dream? What if it doesn't work? Oh well, I'll give it this shot, and if it doesn't, then I'll go do something else." I ran at the glass, and I felt it give way around me! I slowed wayyyy down. The glass felt like cold, but quite viscous slime as it slid around my body. I was afraid I was going to be stuck like this, but I willed myself through the glass, and came out the other side with a POP! That was a really cool experience!

      I was in the backyard. "Danny?" I said, out loud, calling out to my DG. He appeared out of nowhere. I was suddenly overcome with this really strong desire to hug him, so I threw my arms around him.

      He was surprised, but said, "Hey!" to me, with a laughter in his voice. I marveled at how real this hug felt, but even still, I felt the dream sliding away.

      I looked up at him. "Can you come into my regular dreams and tell me I'm dreaming?" I asked, quickly.

      He smiled at me, "Sure, I can."

      I went back to hugging him as I "woke up."


      [False awakening]
      I "woke up" next to Jack. We were sleeping in a tent in a backyard. I checked my watch. It was only 7:20 in the morning, but I was so excited about the lucid dream I had, that I wanted to blog it right away! I went inside the house. The kitchen was a disaster. I found a plate of half-eaten waffles. I didn't fancy eating those, but I did see a large mixing bowl with mal-formed, but uneaten waffles in there. I grabbed a handful's worth and stuffed it in my mouth. They were all syrupy, buttery and insanely yummy.

      [Same FA, but scene jump]
      I was lying down on a long couch. Jack's mum was reading a book at the end of it. She says to our DC-host (the house owner), "I love coming to your house. It's like Christmas every time!"

      "Mm-hmm!" I agree.

      "What part of it did you not like?" Jack's mum asked me, mis-hearing me.

      "I didn't say that, I was agreeing with an mm-hmm," I explained. I woke up for real.

      July 19, 2010
      Slept between 12am-10am (Allll right!)

      12am-4-something am
      FOOD!

      I was in a food market, literally surrounded by food.

      Inner world!
      I don't remember anything before this scene, but I remember standing inside his gorgeous beach house. I could see a white, sandy beach and blue ocean out my living room windows. The walls were a an interesting shade of blue. Like, almost turquoise, but not quite (I'll have to see if I can build this room in sims 3 later). The floors were wood and my furniture was white. The windows were edged in white trimming. It was warm and relaxing. I recall something being said about this being my inner world house, but I can't remember if it was told to me by Danny, or whether I declared it myself.


      Here's the Sims 3 rendition...

      4am-6am
      WBTB. I sat on the couch for a few minutes reflecting on my beach house and thinking about asking Danny to come into more regular dreams to tell me I'm dreaming. Went back to sleep.

      Naughty dream
      I had a naughty dream involving Jack. 'Nough said!

      False awakening
      My alarm beeped for my WILD. I saw that Jack was awake and told him about the dream I had. He thought that middle of the night sex would be an appropriate response. I kept thinking, "But what about my WILD, I'll be too awake!" (Priorities?) My alarm beeped again and I realized it was a false awakening with a "Oh, thank god! I didn't miss the WILD!" (Definitely insane)

      6am-7am-ish
      WILD fail. Got into SP, used music as an anchor. This part went just fine. Transition fail again. I was getting some HI, and decided to try to use it, but it wasn't really happening. I remember thinking to myself, "Give me a scene so I can walk in it!" my brain responds, "Here's a forest path!" Nothing would solidify and I was having troubles visualizing it and keeping it stable. I also tried the roll out technique, but no luck. I tried floating out too, which actually almost worked, but no sight. Just before an hour was up, I went back to bed.

      7am-10am
      Once again, I don't remember anything before this, other than becoming lucid. I looked up at the sky and thought, "Let's not fly, it tends to destabilize my dream if I do it straight away."

      I suddenly remembered MM chat from last night and saying that the intermediate task would be a cinch because I transform into Sailor Moon all the time, so I did! I held my hands up to my chest where my brooch would be, and my clothes glowed and flashed into the sailor fuku

      I found myself on an office floor. full of people. Grey floors and an escalator nearby.
      (Lost lucidity a bit, here) Amongst the DC's were the other senshi. I stood with them for a bit. Something specifically involving Haruka and Michiru here, but I can't recall it. We moved with the group to a lower plaza where there was shopping to be done. Also can't recall much, here. But it seemed like we were there to party.

      Then, we're on a beach. I'm beckoned to by Ryan, a character in a soap opera I watch. He and Greenlee are uncovering a nefarious plot being concocted by David. I get a flash that there is a hidden relationship going on between Ryan and Greenlee (fits with the show). We're hunched behind a car. David has this other woman with him around this camp fire. I vaguely recall that he hit her. Something happens and he discovers us. I closed my eyes and snapped my fingers to teleport away!

      When I opened my eyes, I was standing back on the floor we had started on, with the grey tiles and the escalator. "Oops! I didn't mean to go back this far!" I thought to myself. There were some administrative ladies behind a desk, looking at me funny. I remember saying something to them about forgetting something and laughing; all embarrassed.

    3. July 17, 2010 - Part two

      by , 07-18-2010 at 04:50 PM (Serenity's Silver Millennium)
      July 17, 2010 - part two
      Slept between 11pm-6am

      Didn't focus a lot on recall, last night.

      Baby Elephant
      I was watching my friend (a DC) creep along a wall. Around the corner from her was a baby elephant. I tried to tell her not to scare the elephant, but she shushes me. She and the elephant peer around their edges of the corner at the same time.

      The baby elephant is slightly startled, but my friend offers her hand, slowly. She then starts petting the baby elephant's forehead and neck. The elephant closes its eyes and relaxes into this look of supreme contentedness/happiness at getting petted. It was really cute!

      July 17, 2010
      Slept sometime between 1am and 11am

      Muppet show drama
      There was a Miss Piggy like character named Holly, who the other muppets were trying to get rid of. I'm not sure how they reckoned this, but if they could get Holly to jump on the trampolene 10 times, it would mean she had to leave. I watched them set up the act, and she stopped on a couple of occasions. Some other muppets were jumping with her, encouraging her to keep going. She completed her 10, but I woke up during the point they told her it meant she had to leave the show.

      At a gym
      Working out. Or so my notes tell me

      Money stress
      I remember us vaguely being at a house, first. Dad is stressing over our money situation. We all go out to a Donair place and each contribute to the bill.

      Boyfriend troubles
      I find my boyfriend is still sleeping, but he's set up his bed in the closet.
      "Wake up, you need to get your day started," I tell him.
      "I can't," he says.
      "Well, then I can't pretend like things are okay between us," I said. He positions his head in a way that I can kiss him, but I ignore it and walk out.

      I talk with his mum and my mum about something, but I can't recall what.

      Weird sleep between 1:00a-9:00a approx

      Danny's house
      I'm staring at a large Victorian-style home.

      A lot like this one.

      I know I'm looking at Danny's house and suddenly, he's beside me, outside. I remember him pointing out the structure, but my eye wanders to the side of the house, where there's a side entrance. For some reason, I think this is a secret entrance for a mistress, and I'm laughing at Danny about it. He's getting slightly aggravated with me because I'm being daft.

      I wonder if this house is the same one he was planning on building from this dream?

      Train tracks
      Jack and I are crossing some train tracks. I look both ways and I see, far off in the distance, the headlights of an oncoming train. For some reason, I think it's a good plan to stop on the tracks to tie my shoes...

      Inside Danny's house
      Oddly enough, this dream happened a cycle or two after the first one. Very cool, imo!
      I'm walking around inside Danny's house, carrying my guitar. We're in the kitchen. Suddenly, I start playing a song. It sounds a lot like the tune on my alarm clock (which does happen to be a slow, rolling, guitar-like thingy). I wake up and realize it is indeed, my alarm ring that I thought I had composed.

      Family gathering
      I vaguely recall walking to my doctor's office in slightly bad weather. I get there and in the lobby, Mike (my brother) and his GF come in. I hug them hello, and suddenly my parents walk in. I was all like, "Heyyyy, family reunion in a doctor's lobby..."
      My dad says something about them not arriving together. I ask my mum how she got here. She said she drove. I got all upset because I left her at the house, she could have drove me

      July 15, 2010
      Slept between 1:30am-7:00am

      Decided to set my alarm for 6am/WILD attempt. I woke up, and did a quick mental recollection of my dream to see if I would miss anything if I chose not to record notes. Deciding it would be alright, I chose to not record and fall back to sleep. I still fail so much at the conscious bit of falling asleep

      However, this morning proved to be one of those epic moments where I was thinking about random things, and my thoughts landed on an old friend and my dream rammed into my head. Not the greatest recall other than I remember this...


      Susanna
      The audio in my dream was a conversation with an old friend, Susanna. I remember us talking about work. She was relocating, and she was telling me about the new town she was working in.

      However the visual was scenery/landscape. She was telling me about her town and I was imagining it from a bird's eye view.

      Slept between 0300-1000
      Found out that lucid weaver's alarm rings don't ring if the phone is on silent... : I forgot to turn my phone back on normal, last night


      Work fragment
      First bit of the dream had to do with food. Then being on the phone with Rachel (boss), and also something regarding Elijah (co-worker).

      Weird dream
      I remember sleeping. I woke up into the dream. I'm living with my parents, but we are in a house different than my RL one.

      [Dr. House]
      House approaches my boyfriend and I. "I've found the answer to my problem!" he says.
      "He's so cute," I think.
      "I'm evicting you!" House says.
      "WHAT?!"
      "I'm evicting you. That's the answer to my problem," he says, matter of factly.
      "You know, we're paid up in full, so you have to give us 30 days notice, at least."
      "Sure, whatever," he says.

      [Living with the ex]
      Somehow, my ex, Joe, learns about my plight. He invites Jack, my mum and myself to live with him in his basement. I don't remember much about this scene, other than him getting the wrong idea about something (like me putting the moves on him?) and me pointing out that I wouldn't be doing that, especially with my boyfriend living with us, too!

      [Going out]
      I've just woke up again. I find that mum and Jack are going out to Walmart. They were going to leave without me, cos they knew I just woke up and hadn't ate yet. I said I didn't care, if they could wait 5 minutes, I'll get dressed. I didn't want to be left alone with my ex.

      [Kinky shop]
      I must've gotten left alone anyways, because I next found myself in a very kinky shop. I became barely semi-lucid... I remember thinking to myself, "I don't want to buy anything kinky, because I don't want to journal it!" I found this other bit in the store where they were selling sleep masks. They were supposed to be those ones that are really, really good and completely blacks out the sun, even if you're staring at it. I was holding them in my hands when I woke up.

      Slept between 10:00am-2:30pm

      Brief fragment involving theatre. I was watching a rehearsal of a musical and they were choreographing the dance moves to the songs.

      False awakening, in which I thought to myself, "Better pinch my nose and see if I'm still asleep... *nose pinch* Huh, I can breathe. Means I'm not awake yet... *forced myself awake, nose pinch* That's better... Wait - fucking hell!"

      Slept between 12:00a-9:00a

      12:00a-4:00a
      Really light sleep. Don’t recall any dreams. Entirely possible there was a false awakening or two that I didn’t catch. I decided that since I was having troubles with sleep, I would do the typical WBTB but not any subsequent alarms.

      4:00a-9:00a
      WBTB. Listened to a subliminal mp3 ninja made.

      The long and winding dream
      The first little bits of this are vague, but I remember visiting someone’s apartment and I was somehow able to let myself in. This is important only in that I tried to come back here, later, and couldn’t find it.

      There’s also this little bit where I was feeling stressed and bought a pack of smokes (I’ve never been a smoker!).

      Darren is playing a concert for a small group of us in a room.

      He’s now sitting next to me and I say something retarded like, “I like watching you play, like chording. I’m kind of musical but not really musical.”

      “How can you be kind of musical, but not really musical?” he asks. “You’re either one or the other!”

      “I play the guitar and piano, self-taught, by ear, but not with any great skill,” I clarify.

      “Very nice!” Darren says.

      He has to leave for a bit, and asks for my help in signing some autographs while he’s away.

      I tell him, “I don’t know how to forge your signature.”

      “Oh, well just put stickers on all the ones I need to sign, then, and I’ll do it when I get back.”

      I somehow manage to get stickers stuck to all of my fingers and have generally made a mess of things (I’m really clumsy in my dreams!).

      Darren comes back and we leave together. We find ourselves in another building and at another party. We dance together, but in the course of this party, we learn that all of these people are criminals! Someone even tried to pickpocket my purse, but they weren’t very good. We got out of there as soon as we could.

      We find what I thought were the apartments from earlier in the dream, but when we get upstairs, suddenly Darren is sat a table and all the other seats are full with other girls who are giggling over him. Darren just shrugs and gives me this look that says, “Can’t help it! Be patient!”

      I overhear people chatting and they mention lucid dreaming. I’m pretty sure someone says, “Well, this IS a lucid dream.” I think to myself, “I know that this is a dream, but I don’t want to control this one, I just want to be with Darren,” and I woke up anyways.

      Slept between 1:30a-9:30a

      1:30a-5:00a
      Dreams lost. I recall there being some retarded, repetitive thing having to do with a game show. I remembered it upon waking and forgot it by the time I walked to the washroom.

      5:00a-6:30a
      Moved to couch.

      Cakes!
      I'm at the grocery store with Jack, in the cake section. There were so many to choose from He pointed out this white one and said, "How about this one?"

      "Ugh, no, it has fondant for icing, I can't stand fondant," I said (true story. I don't like fondant).

      Wrong train
      I was at the train station, trying to go to work. I felt really sleepy. I took the wrong train a couple of stops before I realized my error. I somehow "popped back" to the initial station I was at.

      Warcraft -> Real life
      I was playing my warcraft hunter, in pvp. This guy was running after me and I was trying to kite him. He came up from behind me and dragged me to the ground. I grabbed him by the head and snapped his neck. When I stood up, the scene was different. He was in uniform and we were both real life. He was paralyzed, but not dead. I shot him, but he still didn't die We were both kind of baffled. He asked me to shoot him a few more times. I shot him in 5 different places. He STILL wasn't dead, but he said it should be good enough. :morecry:

      Beatles film
      I'm watching the Beatles on film. Some black and white thing. John and George were the central focus and were surrounded by media, cameras, people. They were saying something, but the audio wasn't getting picked up, what with all the commotion.

      Rachel
      I was at a restaurant with some other work managers. Rachel got up to leave, but before she did, I gave her a huge hug (I just found out yesterday she lost her daughter a few days ago ). When I let go, she had turned into my mother.

      6:30-8:00
      Tried a WILD. Unsuccessful.

      8:00-9:30
      Huge chair statue

      I don't remember much about this, other than I was on the phone with a DC and she was telling me about something I could find near the huge statue of a chair. Huge statue of a chair? I looked over and saw a very large statue of a chess board with two chairs

      Police have cupcakes
      I was feeling sleepy again, and mashed some buttons on my cell phone. This resulted in accidentally phoning the police. I told the dispatcher what happened and she told me to hold, she needed to elevate the matter to her supervisor. "But, it's just a mistake..." I try to say, but she cut me off.

      The supervisor comes on and I repeated the same thing. "Okay," she says and is silent.

      "So, what I'm saying is, I'm not in trouble, so I'm hanging up now!" I said. I hung up and looked around. I'm at the police station. There's a girl with a box of cupcakes. I can't decide on one, so she hands me this one that's like a chocolate chip muffin covered in pink buttercream icing

      I found out that these are meant for new recruits. They think I'm a recruit! Do I have to give this back if I'm not? If I have to... do I eat it first and THEN say I'm not a recruit?

      Rollerblade shoes
      I'm in a store with Jack and Julia. I'm looking for rollerblades. Julia works there, but she's not on shift right now. She summons her co-worker and he sizes my feet.

      "Your feet are too small for rollerblades," he declares. What? Really?!

      Julia has an idea though. She goes into a storage locker and pulls out these wheels that are so small, they could fit a child's shoe. She says these clip onto my normal shoes and they become rollerblades. While I'm a bit skeptical at the overall function of the clip-on, I'm intrigued by the convenience!

      Summoned Danny
      I'm looking at this neighbourhood from a bird's eye view. I realize I'm manipulating a floating camera (but it's like I'm in the sky, first person). I passed by this incredible-looking white mansion and I want to see it again. No matter which way I turned the camera, though, I couldn't find it.

      I decided to see if I could bring the camera to me and see myself. I did so, and this part was quite strange. I'm still viewing in the out-of-body camera, I float into the house and up to the glass doors where I can see myself standing in the room. I look off to the right and I see my face on the TV screen.

      I assimilate whole behind the camera now, and I get the notion that I might be dreaming. I took the camera outside and threw it far up into the air. I took a couple of jogging steps, and pushed off the ground. Sure enough, I'm flying!

      "What do you know, this is a dream after all!" I think to myself. I felt everything get a little unstable, but I thought, "Stabilize! Come on, I got this!" It did and I felt myself rise up in the air again without any force needed on my part. I started flying forwards and I remembered my goal to ask for Danny.

      "Danny! Where are you? I need to see you!" I called out. Out of nowhere, I saw Danny flying towards me! "Oh my god, IT WORKED!" I thought. But my excitement at that woke me up

      Meaningful portals

      "This guy obviously does think my portals are meaningful," is what I have wrote. I can't, for the life of me, remember what this was about!

      5:30-8:30
      Set sail!
      A friend was sailing around the world, in her boat, the South America. Her boat was painted a hideous colour of stark white with a child-like painting of South America on the bottom of her boat. I was looking at this design from underneath the water (I was under water, looking upwards). She was telling us about the tricky maneuvering she had to do to get into the docks at London, because she'd accidentally come in "backwards."

      8:30-9:30a
      Interesting house design, again

      This house in my dream was supposed to be the house I currently live in. But it got quite warped up in the dream.
      Starts out with me in my room. Bobbi (from work) is showing me my closet. She's quite proud of how she reorganized it. I don't really notice anything, other than hanging clothes, so I fake-enthusiastically say, "I really like it, thanks!" She goes on to tell me how all my bras are colour-coordinated with my tank tops. So she has done... She's paired a blue tank with an orange bra, pink bra with a green tank, etc.

      [Grandma's dodgy basement trap door]
      My dad wants to show me this interesting project Grandma was working on. She built a new way into the basement. I figured a new staircase, but then my dad opens up a panel out of the floor, in the main floor bathroom. He's trying to turn the light on, via pull-string, but the light appears to not want to turn on (obvious universal dream sign, missed!). Oh well, we don't need the light, anyways. All you have to do is use the same pull string to swing down through the trap door...

      [Basement tenant and the new kitchen]
      I'm hanging out in the basement with my parent's tenant. She's the girl who helped me cancel my gym membership IRL, yesterday.

      "Did you realize just how many staircases there are in this place?" she asks.

      "Well, I knew there were a couple," I say. She shows me this new one I don't recognize. I go up it, and I discover this dark kitchen area, that's been completely untouched for 13 years (and remarkably lacking any dust). The counters are a lovely wood and marble, the sink is huge, and I see a white stove with that smooth surface rather than burners. I think to myself that mum must've known about this kitchen, since she bought the new stove to go in here when she bought the black one for her main kitchen...

      I realized that this kitchen should be mine! Now that the tenant knows about this place, she'll want to use it... How to get her to want to leave, though?

      My Warcraft buddy, Gerakis, appears with a plan. He rigs up this stuffed toy to somehow become covered in raw red meat, and then tosses it to the tenant's dog (a shih-tzu), who is happily nomming (and growling) on the toy in the vent space next to her room, while she is trying to sleep. She complains it's too loud for her to sleep. Excellent...

      I woke up here.

      Cave in

      I was inside a cave with a bunch of people, including Darren. We needed to evacuate, because the cave was starting to crumble down upon us. A little fuzzy on how this bit went, but Darren flung me out of the "room" we were in, and I was being carried off by something. I could see him getting smaller, and I had my hand stretched out towards him.

      In the next room, all the "flooring" of the cave started crumbling and breaking apart. I got sent into some water, but I came up onto another piece of rock which carried me outside, out of the mouth of the cave. The whole scene was being narrated by someone who sounded like Gandalf/Lord of the Rings I remember him saying something like, "It was only by a lucky bit of fate that Serenity managed to get hurled into the water, only to come up on the piece of rock that would carry her outside of the cave, just before it collapsed completely." Right...

      The survivors helped me up and I looked around. I couldn't see Darren. "Is this... it?" I asked.

      "This is all who made it out," one guy answered me, sadly.

      "No, Darren!" I buried my head in my hands.

      Off in the distance, I heard Excel's voice (from Excel Saga, and yes, she was animated, where everything else was RL). She was with our group when Darren threw me out! I looked over and saw Excel first, then, standing next to her was Darren, smiling at me. I ran towards him as the dream faded.

      Slept between 11:30p-10:00a

      After another night of lost dreams, I've decided to stop trying to forcibly DEILD as an induction technique. I'm quite good at using it to prolong dreams... and as a late-morning/not ready to get up yet technique (where I'm also less worried about losing a dream), it's still quite feasible. But there's too much recall at stake to use it as a main technique. I was also trying to "CAN-WILD" (which is like a DEILD... and alarm wakes you that turns itself off and you essentially DEILD, but if there's no dream, it ends up being a WILD anyways). But so far my body proves that when I wake up, I wake up, and I find it hard to re-enter the dream state on command like that. So, I am going to re-take up my habits of WBTB and focus on recall again.

      11:30p-6:00a
      House for sale

      Upset at house being sold to my brothers (Mike, specifically). Some guy was doing house tours. That's all my notes say, I don't have any recollection of this dream!

      6:00a-9:00a
      Flying controls

      I've forgotten what led up to this point, but I was being pursued by some witch. I jumped up off the ground and started flying away. This made me lucid. I Looked back and noticed she was hot on my tail. "I need to make myself fly faster," I thought. Normally, when I fly, my arms are in an upside-down V formation at my sides. I brought my arms straight against my sides, to see if that would improve my speed. No luck. I tried a Superman pose. Still no luck. "I remember reading somewhere that the way they fly is by thinking about their target, and basically letting themselves get pulled to it, mentally... Maybe that'll work...?" I looked at a point on the horizen, and kind of... "set it" with my mind and willed myself to get pulled towards it. I felt a yank from my belly button, like I was on a cord connecting it to the point I set, and I was being pulled towards the point. I yelped a bit with surprise, as it certainly did increase my speed, but it wasn't quite enough. Woke up, anyways.

      9:00a-10:00a
      School mates

      There was some kind of event happening at my school (non-existent to RL). I think it might have been World Cup related. I'm sitting in an empty classroom with Freddy and Corine, from SAIT. We're talking about jobs and I say something about trying to break into sound ops. I look directly at Freddy, because IRL, he does some kinda theatre thing (not sure what capacity, but judging by his FBook posts, it sounds managerial).

      Don't eat grassy snow
      There's another point where I have a snowball in my hand, and I'm eating it. I realize it's all grassy, and I nearly throw up

      Late for work
      Another fragment where I realize I'm late for work. I'm trying to get my uniform together to get ready, but I keep getting distracted by things, which causes me to be more late.

      DV-related fragment

      Just a short fragment here. I was in a car with Naiya and possibly Akono. We all had DV going on our cellphones and we were checking up on people. Someone was helping out on some top-secret projects, but they kept leaking info on the forums by way of asking people to help them gather information on certain topics.

      Had decided to try a DEILD this morning, so my lucid weaver alarm was what woke me. Unfortunately, I was quite confused at the sound of the alarm and wasn't sure why I was hearing beeping noises. Once they stopped I remembered, "Oh right, it's supposed to be a DEILD... What was I dreaming about?" and it was mostly gone I should probably remember to do an auto-suggestion before sleeping if I'm going to try a DEILD

      Decided to turn the DEILD into a WILD using a suggestion I had gotten from someone using music (in my head) as an anchor, rather than music on earphones (since on earphones tends to carry over into dreams, so they say, and it gets annoying, I guess. I honestly don't think I would mind it, but I couldn't use my earphones, anyways).

      It is definitely too difficult for me to WILD with the BF next to me To be fair, it wasn't a very serious attempt. I only got a light SP, barely any vibrations, and I found it hard to roll out due to that. Gave up, RC'd, just in case, then dozed very lightly and woke up for work, at 6am.

      Slept between 1:30am-6:00am. Not insomnia, this time! This was a work-induced sleepless night

      Vague memories, but I recall there being some animal kingdom thing. Like me, in a room, with a bunch of animals that would normally tear my head off. But they didn't. And I didn't consider the remote possibility of dreaming Granted, I only had 4 hours of sleep, but I *have* been lucid in the first 90 minutes of sleep, before. So, this wouldn't have been a first

      There's a stronger fragment of chasing after this girl who had a box in her arms. In the box, had a note in it. Whatever that was, she was running away with it, and I needed it.

      She jumped into a swimming pool and emerged without the box. I jumped in (vaguely recall being able to breathe here and yet... still nothing, lol!) and retrieved the box. The note, inside, was still dry! I couldn't read what it said.
