dream fragment

I was waiting for a dressing room at a crowded thrift store. Several people crowded the area and pushed me to the back of the line. The clerk opened another dressing room area in the storage area. Once inside the room a voice said, "You want to be between 744 and 745 hz (or Mhz). But not 746." 746Hz was too high.

The voice was a clear as a bell and I immediately woke up.

Dream fragment 1: I was standing in a bathroom with a group of people. One guy was obese. We were trying to figure out how everyone could fit into the bath tub. My brother got in. Then everyone else jumped in. I didn't want to take a bath with my brother (LOL). So I left to grab towels.

Dream fragment 2: Sitting in a crowded sports arena with a bunch of tall athletes. There was a small dispute about seats. I thought a guy on my row was a jerk.

Semi-lucid/lucid dream: A guy and I were playing some kind of cat and mouse game with a murderous, female automaton. We chased her then she chased us. At one point she had us trapped in a motel room. The windows were too high and narrow to slide through easily. We were sitting ducks.

The anxiety and fear woke me up. I just laid there wondering how the hell I could fix this dream so it wouldn't bother me later. I've been rereading Frank Kepple and Robert Monroe and thought phasing might help me in my dream situation. While I thought of ways to escape the automaton my dream started again.

I was back in the room with my friend. Only this time I wasn't scared. I forget the details of my first attempt at phasing. But the second attempt involved switching to a higher dimension. That way I could walk through the wall and/or see through it. The automaton would be unaware as she would not be able to perceive it/me.

1. Traveling down an old run down street in the back of a sedan. A guy was giving me a tour of a housing project. The homes were dilapidated and falling apart. Unlivable really. At the end of the development were a few new town homes. They were slowly making the place nice. But it was gonna take a while to accomplish it all.

2. I was shopping in an Italian market/deli. The owner was worried about something so I stopped at the counter to help. She needed assistance getting a shipment of food. she had the money to pay for it. But she was working alone and couldn't be at the register and the loading dock at the same time. So met the delivery man and signed for the shipment.

3. My family and I were living in a run down house with lots of rooms. We began rearranging the furniture to make things look better. Everyone was happy and smiling.

No lucids. But I sure had a lot dreams! Five dreams/fragments in total. Which is probably a record for me. There seemed to be a cluster of them in the hour before waking up.

As usual I was woken up separately by my dog and both kids. Which was fine as I'd planned to just sleep and not worry about LD's or AP's. However I had my dream #1 early on (around midnight) about reality star I'm not fond of.

After waking up the first time I fell into dream #2 about a mother getting shot at a graduation ceremony and the ensuing panic among students and faculty. There was a brief discussion about the culprit. And I actually saw a DC's mouth move. - I woke up at the end. But was so bothered by the shooting I imagined a different scenario and ended up in dream #3.

Dream #3 took place in the same auditorium only this time it was full of younger kids. School was letting out and I had equipment to take to my car. It was raining and I had to walk down a slippery hill to get to my car. Kids were playing football with sanitation workers on the hill. Since my trunk was wet I carefully broke my equipment down and placed it in the back seat.

Dream #4 was a fragment about working out. I looked awesome!

Dream #5 was about a woman on Long Island letting her teenage son have an overnight visit with his girlfriend at an Island Resort on "Pia" Island. I looked at her like she had two heads (LOL)!

The last 3 dreams occurred in the last hour of sleep....like a dream chain. Seemed as if each of them lasted a long time. But they had to be just a few minutes long. Not sure why I couldn't remain lucid when the dreams kicked in. One minute I was imagining something and the next I was dreaming. I don't recall any transitions at all!

I was too lazy to write down the first dream I recalled from last night.

The 2nd one entailed a conversation about relationships with a guy named Whip or Willow Whip. something like that.

Had two dreams this morning:

1. My brother was getting married again. But he was scared shitless. His best friend and I were giving him a pep talk. Never figured out why he was afraid.

2. I was running around the apartment trying to clear up an issue with references for a new job I really wanted. The reference was the last hurdle before the job would be offered to me. But I was afraid the guy would hear something bad and I'd lose the job.

Note: good thing I wrote a sentences about each dream when I woke up. Otherwise they'd be completely forgotten by now. I had to refer to those notes to complete my DJ today.

I think WILD is the induction method for me. Last week I just beat my head on the wall trying to DILD. It seems more natural to slip into the dream from wakefulness than trying to gain lucidity within the dream.

Lots of dream fragments and one full dream recalled:

The fragmented dreams were imagery from a conversation I had with a friend earlier in the day. My mind played back bits and pieces throughout the night. Which makes sense as it was the last real conversation I had before bed.

Some time after 3am I dreamt of a beautiful, lush, green valley with blue lakes and perfect houses / communities. Some of the citizens were being interviewed about the effects of greed on the environment. Wealthier people were using up the resources while the less wealthy suffered.

Three old white guys were talking about the good ol' days before the nonsense started.

Then there was an elderly lady pacing in front of her home. She was distraught, drinking and a little confused. She was losing her house. And the authorities came to get her. She had an adult son inside who was out of work.

Interestingly enough...everyone seemed wealthy. Large homes and idyllic setting but they were troubled.

I know this happened in "dream" Montana because the old guys kept saying so.

5/5 - There was a man walking up concrete stairs to the subway platform above. I was behind him when a quiet commotion broke out on the platform. A veteran (looked Ethiopian/Eritrean) was being arrested by a some kind of swat team. As he was being hustled away the man in front of me turned and said, "What do you expect. Wasn't no outside/inside internet."

That makes no sense. But in the dream I understood it to mean something like.....
"The Internet was an inside job" - which only makes slightly more sense. But not much. Somehow the guy did something to the entire Internet.
