NOthing interseting in these. Just the basic, hey this is a dream, weee I like flying, and some minor stuff like that. I have poor recall if anything interesting happened, I guess it could not have been 2 interesting. Dur of each 2-3 min.

This dream had a large amount of non-lucid content before the lucid portion. No need to desribe it in great detail. Basically i went to a barbaque at my Dad's families and they had an auction game so everyone need to tell how much cash they had, but i only had 3 dollars. then we were in a resteraunt and so on. The only interesting thing is we were going to meet at the park for a Crosby, Stills, and Nash concert and on the way there me and my sister jumped the river, but it did not make me lucid or even RC.
We got to the park and other relatives from dad's family were there. I was shocked to find the band just standing on the grass and only a few dozen people waiting to listen. I sat on a bench next to my sister and fell asleep. I was awoken by a comotion, someone had tried to hit my sister.
I got up and realized nothing was making sense so I did my levitation RC. I floated off the ground and that made me become lucid. The crowd disappearded. I stabilized the dream by patting down my body with my hands. I spent a minute or two levitating quickly through the pine trees, until i came to the edge of the park and saw a tall condo. i decided to see if I could fly in the classic Superman form from the movies, and did it reaching the top floor of the building.
On the top floor i started to go into a third person scene involving the cast of the show Scrubs, but forced myself back into the dream. i jumped down to ground level again. I somehoe felt my sister was on the top level now, and i wondered if this may be some sort of shared dream. I decided to float in a meditation pose up to her window to see how she would react. I talked with her inside the apartment about it being a dream, but she seemed to be just a DC, so I decided tto try and float through the closed window. It worked on my second try, but the screen tore.
I went back down to the park and tried to pass through some playground equipment and it worked, but I kept feeling the objects pull against me. I decided that I should fly to the moon. I looked up in the sky, but it was day time. No matter, the moon would still be up there, so I took off in Superman style. before I got a hundred feet up the DC of my sister ran out and was yelling something about us needing to meditate. The dream end when I stopped to talk with her. My wife had gotten out of bed and this is what ended the dream. Dur ~ 10 minutes.

I got up in the middle of the night and sat in my hot tub, then laid back down for a WILD. I got into REM faily quickly. I was in what lookes like a school yard and people were running as if they were fleeing something.
I jumped up on some stacks of stuff and wen away from the scene back deeper into what now looked like a storage yard. The first thing I noticedwas a giant stack of fireworks! Nice, I decided to light them all off at one time. I took a large bottle rocket and either climbed over or walked through a chain link fence (?) and then I sw that the people had been running from some sort of Asian gang fight. I figured lighting the stack of fireworks would be cooler than trying to understand the gang dream, so i ignored them. I shot the bottle rocket into the stack and ran. I know things happened after this, but I had forgotten to stabelize, and that is the last i remember. Dur~? 2 minutes.

08-20-12 This was my 3rd and final WBTB of the night. I had all ready slept 8+ hours, so the sleep was a little to light. I got into SP and HIs when my body temp seemed feverishly high and my heart pounded. I worked past it by using a method of moving my awarness around my body erasing it as I went.
In strong HIs I started a serious visualization routine of me walking.Soon it became a real dream yet vague, I walked up and down a set of stair I summoned. This is did not bring the dream into good focus, so I did my rope ladder climbing deal. Eventually the dream formed up and random things would block my way, I climbed out around a barrier and sat on it. Things were pretty good so I decided to go have my dream. I flew off of the seat I was on and landed on a street. There were vague poeple there with loud voices. I just walk by enjoying the look of things. This part of the dream seemed to be all colored in mahagony. Eventually I came to the base of a cliff blocking off the street. I decided to rock climb up its face. With in a minute of climbing I woke up. Dur~5 minutes

08/19/12 This was my second WILD WBTB of the night. I was able to enter an LD failrly quickly after about ten minutes of trying to fall asleep. It was not very intersting however. I was able to observe three dream sequences in 3rd person. One was based on a Fred Astair movie clip Debrajane posted, one was of my kitchen and me and my wife making a pizza, and one was just me watching some men talking about random stuff. I had been waiting for the vividness to increase and finally attempted to transition it into a 1st person LD, but somehow thee effort to find my own hand woke me up. I had already slept 10 hours, so maybe my sleep was just too light. Dur~3 minutes.

I had attempted a WBTB earlier and just got cool HIs, then I had to stop to go to an appointment. I was awake for 2 hours before I got home. I used earplugs and a face mask and started on my back on a couch. I had trouble disconecting from my body. I got in mild HIs in about 5-10 minutes they included a loud sound like a sword coming out of a sheath, tons of color swirls and finnally images like faces and such. I ended up having to get up and pee, but left the mask on and tried not to wake up any more than needed.
I layed back on the couch. I created the sensation of various things using the visualizing tricks I teach in Dream Yoga. I easily reached a point were it fely like I had wings and was diving and soaring but the visuals just would not come. I am not interested in cheating, and am taking part in Matte's competition, so I did not consider this as good enough. it was great fun and a way to pass the time while waiting for a better sleep phase. I ended up partially waking, so with mask still on I felt my way to my bed.
In bed is where the WILD started getting good. I was able to get back into SP and HIs almost at once. I went back to dreaming in nREM about transforming into an angel and flying doing all sorts of tricks, suddenly I could see landscapes and looked at my hands. The hands were there but all messy and not very vivid. I flew up to the top of a spire of rock. I sat on the spire and looked at the visuals waiting for a better sleep phase, if not REM than at least a latter stage of nREM that would give me the visuals I felt were lacking. I spent this time doing a reality check, as I was getting confused as to what I was doing or how it had happened. First I tried floating and it worked, then I tried grasping my wrist and not only could not feel a pulse, but my wrist swished through my fingers. Then I saw the tips of great big wings and regained full lucidity. I went about stabilizing with a sequance of mudra hand gestures.
At this point I was sure a clear and reasonably vivid nREM LD was taking place as the visuals had improved to what you may expect from a virtual reality that needs improvement. There was color, but most things also were a bit translucent and proportions and depth perception were not very realistic.
At this point I transformed back into my normal self and slowly with careful intention grew a set of wings. I could feeel the feathers form and I kept this up until the wings were huge. I dove of the spire. The wings were really much too huge so I reduced them to about how angel wings look on comic book charecters. I was still not in REM and was a bit frustrated, as this process seemed to be going on and on. I remeber actually wondering if I was having much REM at all lately and almost lost lucidity. I decided I better stabalize again. I landed and used a rope ladder climbing stabalization where I slowly watch and feel each motion involved with climbing. I went back and forth between fancy dives and rolls in flight as an angel and climbing the ladder.
I decided the idea of flying up real high or climbing uo was too time consuming so I went through a sequance of running and jumping off of convienent mile high cliffs.
Funny observations include when I ran if I did not pull my wings in tight I started to lift off before the cliff, and that during one dive I was in a bad position that caused me to free fall. I was hopeful that these random problems signalled the approach of REM. I tried to induce REM which is hard to explain, but it still did not hit for awhile. Various odd things started happening, like voices and random channges in the scenory that would get in my way.
All at one time everything went nuts for a second and I fell out of the air and the visuals went crazy like a blurry colidascope. I was standing in Walmart and my wife was over by the pharmacy, then i was standing there in a sleep mask leaning against a display. I only was confused for a moment, and did a basic mental RC which brought back full lucidity. Here it was! REM at last! How much work to get here? I grew angel wings again, but just had them appear, rather than grow. i wanted to get busy flying. I spent a couple minutes flying very very fast around and over isles in the store and swooped past some women. I decided I should go outside (would have been good to teleport for 3rd task, but spaced it off.) I saw a man near the exit with a fancy white hat so I decide to dive past him and snag the hat for fun,,, whoosh, right over him at very high speed and snagged the hat. I turn over in the air and examined the hat, it was like a cowboy hat or something. Still flying backward I looked for thee man and he was staring at me, but still had a white hat. I threw the hat like a frisbee back onto his head and it merged with the other hat.
I saw a lady going outside so I flew out the exit and landed outside. She was getting into a car. I went over to the car and got in. I tried to talk to her, but my thoughts were messy and I just said some random dream nonsense. She looked irritated to have a stranger in her car. I reached over and touched her, when the scene went all blurry. I forgot to stabilize soon enough.
I was standing in my bathtub wearing a sleep mask and the water was overflowing. I got confused and thought maybe i had moved into the tub and tried WILDing from the tub. I had a FA at this point and did not recover lucidity after that.
Dur~ 1 hour nREM LD and 10 minutes REM LD

Yet again, I would not normally put this in my DJ, but here it is. After my pathetic WILD at 3am, I had set another alarm for 5 am and tried again. This WILD seemed to take less time but still was about 3-40 minutes before a dream started. I hit HIs fairly quick, but really had an unsatisfactory level of SP, which I think doomed the LD later. The HIs this time were less awesome, just red swirls and pulses plus a shifting feeling. This LD started about the same as the earlier one. This time I was watching a conversation in a front room, but I could not change the focus of the visuals as in I did not seem to be able to look around. I knew one of the people was my cousin, but could not see who he was talking to. I tried to hear the conversation, again just blah, blah, blah.
I decided that this was another 3rd person dream and I wanted to be careful not to ruin it. I tried stabelizing by feeling for a body. I was able to pat down my legs, but could not see any body parts. I went ahead and started to try and create angel wings on my non-visable dream body. This felt cool and seemed to work, but I would not consider it succesful as I still could not change the visuals and see the body. I finally tried to force the visual to move and include a clear visual of my hand. This effort caused my real life arm to move and suddenly I could hear the AC and lost the dream. Dur~2-3 minutes.

I would never have put this in my DJ, but I am in Matte's competition, so here it is. Bed at 9:30 alarm set for 3am. Took a shower, and started a WILD. It seemed to take a hour or so, for very little results. The HI part of it was great, my body seemed made up of large soap bubbles all vibrating and giggling around. Then when a dream finally started I was lucid. It was a scene with people talking out side the hotel I was sleeping in, out in front of the reception area. I tried to hear what they were saying, but it was all just blah, blah, blah. I tried to look at my hands and found, I was in 3rd person. I tried visualization to create a body, but ended up thrashing in bed and woke myself up. Lovely waste of an hours sleep time. Dur~2 minutes.

08/02/12 This one is weird enough to be worth posting. I was in an LD in a light grey void communicating with my DG, when I heard a voice. It said quite clearly "This is Linkzelda." I looked towards the voice, but instead of a person, there was a giant rip in the fabric of the astral area me and my DG had been in. the tear in space was pitch black.
I talked towards the void, and said "Did you say you are Linkzelda, off of the internet?" I heard it again "yes, this is Linkzelda."
I said "how strange is that. I don't see you just a weird void."
A very short conversation followed maybe a few sentences about if we would remeber this tomorrow. Then the tear/void was gone.
I am assuming this is perhaps just an autosuggestion event, because we have all been talking about shared dreaming, but it is certainly weird enough to put in my DJ.

After my training on energy barriers was over, I found myself back in the large astral city for the first time in a month or so. What a relief. Work had just been to stressful, I was drinking wine, and I had asked for some alone time to LD strictly inside my own head without any one watching or judging me. I had a little concern that getting back in, might take a lot of A#S kissing.
Two nights ago I started asking to be brought back into the astral, and here I was. I was met by the two young daughters, who form 2/3 of "The 3 Women." This may be the first time they have hung out with me without their mother (? older sister) being present. It was a very pleasant day and they were out for a walk, so I joined them. I admit I acted a bit like a silly fool. I kept showing off stupid things because I was so pleased to be back and see familiar people. I remember showing them how high I could jump. One of them was staying off to the side, like she was not interested in interacting, and the other would just smile. The smile was more of a "how cute, you are acting like a love struck grade school boy" kind of smile. Then I picked her up and said something dumb, like "look at how easy I can pick you up." and I kind of tossed her up about 8 feet off the ground and caught her. Again, a smile like before.
She said they were going to a store. I still do not fully understand how the economy works there. They can of course create dream imagery at will, but they also have an exchange system based on some form of highly stable material. The material can be used to form items and structures and clothing, that exist for long durations, even when no one thinks about it. I can not explain, as I am still a bit connfused. But that is where we were going, a market of some sort.
We had to cross a busy road or something like a road and then the imagery of the market looked alot like a walmart or something with a parking lot.
I kept getting more and more touchy and affectionate with her, and she did not discourage me. Both daughters have on a few occassions made out with me, and i kept wanting to really touch and kiss her, but I kept my compossure and settled for touching her hair and holding her hand.
We held hands and floated together sort of like the scenes with Super man and Louis lane flying. I would reach out my free hand and push off the ground to slowly glide us forward to the market. When we went inside she said they were to get some food. I was a bit confused. I knew they ate food, but had assumed it was just dream imagery food. I had not been aware of food as a substance of the astral realm. I was also confused because the imagery she gave to explain, showed veery plain staple food, instead of high end food. She invited me to come home with them and share dinner.

At this point my alarm went off. I really did have to get up because of an appointment. So i said goodbye and ended the LD. Short and sweet with no real action, but very pleasant. I am happy to have gone on such a nice walk with her.

This lesson with my DG "The Diplomat" involved trying to cconstuct basic energy forms like they use in their structures and barriers. He would almost step inside me and then create a mass of energy so that I could feel what he was doing. Then I would try. I could make my energy vibrate about the same, but at this point, this skill may be a bit beyond me. It seemed fairly straight forward, but after working on it for what seemed like hours, I was still pretty confused. It will take practice, i am sure.

This one is worth adding to my DJ. This is another class session with my DG "The Diplomat", and was another out of phase semi disembodied lecture with constant oppertunities to test my skill. HHe really uses few words to teach so again I can not really understand or teach what he showed me. In the past I had been completely blocked by basic energy barriers used to create sections in the big astral city, and by the external walls of any of these city areas. I have kind of figured out a means of lining up my energy to slide between sheets of energy and could slowly force my way through. However, he spent most of the the night teaching and driling me on a way to alter my vibratory energy to match the vibration of the barrier and easily move through it.

07/20/12 I have been very lax as far as posting my LDs on-line lately, sorry. I will add this one, because it is differant than normal.

Through out the night, I kept appearing in a out of phase kind of odd enviroment. It was almost all mental, with limited understandable visuals. My current Dream Guide 'The Diplomat' was trying very hard to give me a lecture. I tried all night (or so it felt) to get what it was he was trying to teach. He must be very patient as I fumbled with it like a child being explained calculus. The subject had something to do with dream types, and how I should react or treat each of them.
Whatever he was trying to teach me was not translating into terms that relate to what I understand from the physical world. He would almost think/ project the knowledge at me, and my brain felt like it was getting scrambled. He would say something that translated to something like "The dreams that begin with S", I would say "what?" He would try again, "those dreams have to do with bodily function," then he would project a feeling or something, trying to make me understand. I would say "huh?"
And so on for what seemed like hours!

This one is far from impressive. I am only journaling it for the competition thread. It was just a work anxiety dream. I realized I should not beat work, and could not figure out the specific reason I was feeling panicy. I kept trying to work but got very confused. Then I came to realize I was dreaming. I was so mad at my sleep being disturbed by work dreams that I missed out on a chance to have a good LD. Instead I just proclaimed out loud in the dream, "This is a dream, and I told you thaat you are not allowed to dream about work!" My mind raced onto a feeling of deadlines and such, so I got frustrated. I used my LD skills to erase the entire sceen and repress any thoughts of work. I was then pleased that it worked and drifted off into normal sleep. Dur ~1-2 min.

I got up and sat in the hot tub for about 20 minutes to get ready for WBTB. I laid on my back in bed and was some what frustrated by a pain i have been having in my low back. I reached SP and came back out 3 times before I truely fell asleep. I maintained awareness by chanting 'thank you' about every 5 seconds. I began to experience vivid HIs where my mostly unformed dream body was spinning and it fely like I was liquid going down a drain. There were buzzing and popping noises. I entered into what may have been REM and everything become very vivid, much more so than HIs. Suddeenly I was surrounded by swirling clouds of blood red. I heard all sorts of sounds like the popping of beer tops and weird noises I am not sure of.
I tried to test if this was an LD. I was unaware of my body except the vague feeling that my eyes were flitting around a bit. I could turn and look at different things, but everything kept looking all psycodelic and vividly colored by the swirling clouds. I formed a dream body, but it was clear and glass like. This LD did not seem to want to take a normal form, it was more an abstract LD. I started walking, but kept feeling myself being bent forward kind of like a cave man. I would straighten out my back but afteer a few seconds of walking i felt hunched over again. In hind sight my painful back was probably influancing things. I worked on forming wing planning on flying through the red clouds. I formed angel wings and felt them spread, but when I looked they were clear and glass like. Suddenly I felt very bent over and started loosing the dream. I woke up from my back pain. Dur~3 minutes.
