Cities in the Astral

Me and my wife are walking along a dirt drive and near our house. There is a small shack that should be abandoned but men are in there using drugs. My wife starts yelling angry things at them. I am upset telling her not to. Two men come out and I apologize for her hostility, telling them we live in the house there and don't mean them trouble. They are lustily examining my wife's chest. They mention "oh, so she is going to be sleeping in that house?" I am afraid and angry now. I am trained in fighting, but maybe they will gang up on us or have weapons. I become semi lucid and force the dream to move away from this uncomfortable setting.

I was involved with a random lucid when I wondered if I was over sleeping. I woke up (FA) and checked the time. I suspected a possible FA and decided to examine things. I walked into the front room thinking I will see if anything is odd. I thought everything looked normal (No. It was washed out and the color was towards a grey spectrum. I get into the front and some stranger is looking at my fish. They commented that they fed them. This made me mad. I totally forgot about the chance of an FA. I focused on who this guy could be and so on. Opportunity missed.

I became lucid at some point in the night just because things got confusing so I RCd by rising up into the air like Magneto. Sure enough. Later there was a phase where me and DG are laying back in a weird bubble energy. It was like floating in shifting beads. Slight variations in frequency would shift the stuff to warm fluff like clouds. It was not an experience I can put in words and was some sort of training on subjects too foreign for me to understand on the physical world. We later walked for some time while she told me things. It was a decent amount of talking and made sense. Darn if in waking life the contents of the talk are not translatable, so come across blank.

In a lucid I am flying fast through narrow streets at night. Ahead I see the Idaho capitol building. I go Spider Man and shoot an energy line out and reel myself in super fast to the building. I can not get above the fancy stone work ledge. I stop and try to fix what ever is wrong in my thinking/expectations. I am doing everything right but can not move higher up the building. I decide to physically climb the stone work. It teeters and threatens to collapse on me. some form of hidden barrier?

I am in a confusing dream and my friend is asleep on the floor which seems wrong. I sense I have somehow ended up in some one else's house. I wander around and my friend wakes up and agrees we should not be here and could get in trouble. There is a woman there. and I talk to her. No of this makes sense so I decide it must be a dream. I RC by attempting TK, which works. Lucid now. I go outside to explore and he comes with me. We fly along a dark street in the rain. he says he is hungry, and I tell him to just visualize food. Up ahead is a burger restaurant. We go in (first door is locked) and he wants to order. I am suddenly thinking this feels like I have gone astral and am in one of the cities. I worry that if he orders and they serve him actual astral food he will be expected to pay with some form of actual astral wealth. I assume he has none as I certainly never have any form of currency, in fact it being made clear in the past that i do not have clothing (I just imagine I do.) I do not want to get people angry, so decide to find out if these people are real and if this is indeed a real place not just inside my head. I sit down calmly and call out into the ether asking for someone to explain where I have found myself and if there are any rules I need to know about.
Before long someone real (entity) does approach and asks me to follow them. They take me out of the building through the back. Some other entities are out there. I can hear them talking/ thinking to each other. One is saying they are confused as to did I honestly just peacefully turn myself in? What? Am I wanted here, or something? I certainly have screwed up and run amuck in many more than one area of the astral. Wow, but if I want to be welcome in these places i must face what ever local law enforcement wants to deal with me and hopefully move forward with fixing my disturbing past. They bring me to a building and say my powers will be dampened in there while I am interviewed (like the prison I was sent to in the large every time I showed up for months.) It is ok, I know in a worse case I can force my consciousness back to the physical realm.
Inside the building is a woman who interrogates me. I am accused of treachery. I supposedly acted disloyally in some setting that harmed the interests of this group. Images of space ships are projected as if that should remind me of the crime. I explain to her that I do not remember anything about the situation if it happened. I explain that I am a dreamer and am rarely in the astral. that when I do make it there my cognitive function is impaired much like being drunk, so sometimes I screw everything up. I am unaware if I have an existence there when my life is taking place on Earth, but that blaming me (this awareness) for things some avatar of me does when "I" am not there would be confusing to me. I am at a huge disadvantage in dealing with there legal system.
She seems pretty pissed off and not impressed with my excuses. I panic and decide to get the hell out of the dampening field incase i need to protect myself. I force my way out the door. I make a run for it and take off flying. She chases/follows me and amazingly can match my every maneuver (uncommon in most cities.) I can not get away and decide to force myself back into my body.

In this dream I was lucid for a long stretch and I at one point decided to try and kiss my dream guide. I pulled her close but was polite about it and put my lips timidly on hers. Fade to grey, disapproval, I will force you out of the dream. Sorry, sorry, step back. Dream comes back. We start walking. I decide to create a totally fake DC and kiss it. I know the crowd will have a pretty women. It does. I know she will walk up to me and want to kiss. It does. Fade to grey. I will force you out. Dispel Dc, say sorry, sigh, sorry, sorry sorry. Continue on.

I am back 25 years ago and on the job when me and dad were in business together. I guess we had been planning on going to a concert out of town. He can not go for some reason, but I am still planning on going. He gets very angry and starts yelling. He does not need me to stay and his attempt to pressure me to stay is petty. I realize dad has been dead 8 years and it is 2020, not the 80's. I think this may be Dad's spirit which often seems confused. I stand up to him and loudly proclaim "listen you should not yell at me like I am a kid. I am almost 50 years old and in waking life am considered a highly accomplished man."

I am investigating something with my friend. It is unclear what we are trying to figure out. This is in my old house before the remodel. It turns out I fell someone has been in the house when I am not there. He points out to me and my family bleach residue in both showers, Somehow this is evidence. No one has used bleach in the showers. He finds a bag of some sort of pellets that must be cleaning products. I do not recognize it. My adult son says it must have been (some women's name). I find out that while I go away working my wife has had a women and her child living in my house and eating out food. I am angry. Why am I supporting strangers. Why are they hiding this? My wife gets emotional and admits she has been having an afair with the women, but emphasizes only up to a point, unlike me when I did something with some Asian women (no relation to real life.) I wake up at this point angry and confused.

I had to defend someone against their angry abusive father. I fought him and tied him to a chair. For some reason I felt I had to stab him in the hand and leg so he would have trouble chasing us. The scene changes and I and others are crowded in a truck. My uncle is there. He is insisting his niece come out from a party. It is a dead end road. Her twin sister is there. She comes out from the party and is in a nice dress, He orders her into the bed of the truck. I object and let her have my seat and I climb into the truck bed. We start to pull out and I realize my car is parked there in the middle of the road. I try to get the driver to stop so I can move it. I realize it must be broken down. I am worried it will get hit or towed. Then I am in some farm building and the police have come to arrest me and the girl for stabbing her fathers hand. I can not remember what else happened. I am just wanting to journal a few dreams to get my recall engaged again. This was all totally non-lucid.

Using Alarm DIELD I drift into sleep watching colored lines moving about. I imagine the sensation of walking and eventually I am standing in a well lit room. A woman comes in from another room. It is a girl I have known for decades in real life, but she is young here. I realize this is a dream at first but my awareness of that kind of fades as the dream goes on. I think how she is young and not really as pretty as I thought. I see something on the ground moving. I go look at it. It is a big black widow the size of a mouse. In my fascination looking at it I begin to forget this is not a dream. I go back and forth some times knowing it is not real, and being actually concerned about the spider. the fact that I was concerned shows my lucidity was waning. I summoned a metal bowl and placed it over the spider. It started pushing the bowel along the floor. I told her to get me a plate that I could slide under it. Again less lucid, I could have summoned a plate. She brings me some weird object that is not a plate. I wonder why I am doing this? What do I intend on doing with a mouse sized spider? I could put it in my room to eat bugs? (see not very clear thinking) No, I do not want a black widow in my room, it could end up biting me. It is going to get out. I throw my phone on it! Crunch. Why did I do that? How cruel. And why my phone? It starts to move. there is my phone on top of it.
My alarm is going off for the next snooze cycle. That is why the phone was involved.

I am exploring when I come to a building kind of like an apartment complex. Suddenly I am observing third person and things shift to a cartoon like mode. Some people are arguing and in a corny fashion someone pulls a lever and a wall opens up. Out comes a giant red crocodile about the size of a pick up truck. It lumbers forward slowly. That scene is replaced by me being in a body again and continuing walking around. Not fully lucid but not taking this the least bit serious. I kind of realize none of it is real.
I find a group of women who are wanting to go out partying. Someone suggests that there is a dark rave going on. I take this to mean Goth. The character Gena Meronie from 30 Rock says that is stupid and that they will not go. I follow them. I am not attempting any sort of control and just want to see what random stuff my mind pulls up. eventually I see a car ramp leading down into a parking garage and that some sort of party is there. I go down the ramp and peopple are charging $5- to get in. I see the people inside are Goth. I look back and the women have followed me. I say "this must be that dark rave." Gena is mad and says "we can not go there, I will be hubliated!" That is not a typo. I noted the made up word.
A woman dressed in a red Goth gown comes out and hangs like a bat from the ceiling above the door men. She pulls a lever and the back wall starts to open. Guess what is behind it? A giant red crocodile. People start running. Not me. This is clearly a dream. I note that it is shifting into a cartoon mode much like Scooby Doo. Very amusing! I wonder why the heck my mind is fixated on red crocks? I am now 3rd person again. It is so much like a Scooby cartoon, I am chuckling inside. The view is down some sort of dungeon corridor half filled with water. there is a narrator but I am not sure what he said. I focus on the croc, and another comes (giggle) then a third is coming at me. (giggle, how the hell do 3 giant crocs fit in the hallway!) Then a big tiger Joins them! There are now 3 giants cartoon crocs and a cartoon tiger charging at me. Oh my, how intimidating (giggle). My alarm goes off as this was an Alarm DEILD. I wake up fairly happy.

I am in a room and there is a sweet little talking ferret and some other talking critter, perhaps a squirrel. I am not exactly lucid. I know this is a dream, sort of, not fully. There is a plot going on but I do not recall what lead up to this. The ferret has agreed to do something very heroic! Perhaps it is to take a message secretly to someone or perhaps it is to sneak into an enemy tent and steal something important. He is now in a tube or something like a cut off pant leg and can not get out, and we need to escape the room. He turns around and burst out of the open end! It is a great moment of triumph and he is so proud of his smartness and how brave he is! What a good ferret. Let's go! We run out of the room and are along a road side. We start running. There is a guard rail on my right side and I keep between him and the road so he will not get hit. There is a hill on the left. The place he needs to go is down that hill up ahead. We get to the trail head where he must do this brave thing. There is chain link between us and the road. He is now clinging onto the chain link and could end up in the road. I take him protectively in my arms. He tells me he is afraid to do the thing. He is so sweet and cute. How could I have asked such a darling helpless creature to do something so dangerous? The dream ends here.

Trying to get back into Alarm Deild, never got to a dream, but did stay conscious after the body slept. This left me in a darkness Shapes moved darkly in the background, I could influance them and create images of birds. Suddenly a wonderful eye covering much of my vision open out of the blackness. Magical and detailed. It was only there for a few seconds.

I ended up in a loud argument with DCs who looked like my friends from 20 years ago. While having sex in a lucid one friend comes up and yells that I am cheating on my wife. I stop what I am doing and tell them to be quiet. Part of me is confused and slides a bit less lucid. Maybe I think I could be awake and what have I done? More DCs are making a fuss about it now and yelling stuff at me. I know they do not fit with my life and are 20 years too young, so back to lucidity. I silence them by yelling that my wife damn well knows their are women in my dreams and that she does not consider anything in a dream or astral realm to be cheating. It shut them up.

Have nice conversation while munching dream food. It is crunchy delicate glass light assemblies perhaps for a car. After awhile; what the heck I have finished two of those but they are made of glass and I have to chew carefully. Why am I doing this? I should stop! Well there is only one more...
