#243 - SSILD

3:00am (alarm for WBTB)

I am at Patrick and Jessie’s house with my wife. We are all talking about the 50th anniversary episode of Doctor Who. Then a bunch of people start making a Dalek formation on the floor I join in and become the head. I put a arm out for the "eye". I look at my wife standing there and ask if she is going to take a picture.


3:56am

I am working on some cables at work on the overhead boards. I check lengths on some woods boards and pass them off to someone. I pick up a stack of pink paperwork but they look like some type of black ink has been spilled on them with areas that have been bleached out. I realize that I am dreaming but for some reason I think that I can't do that now since I am at work and I lose all lucidity.

The scene turns into a party at some fancy mansion and I see a younger and slimmer version of Jana in some kind of cop costume. In fact everyone is in costume. Jana looks at me a poses with a grand gesture at her body. Yeah I get it. Your slim. She then walks over to some women and begins flirting with them. I wonder if they know she is a lesbian.

Then Justin walks in the front door in some type of Phantom of the Opera costume but the mask looks like a Cyberman. He sings something to some nearby people and wonders off into the main room. I get the idea that I must be dreaming but I wake up.

4:49AM

I am at work and decide that I am dreaming. I don't really have that dawning realization but I actually decide that I want to be dreaming. I only remember thinking that all these work dreams must be because I've been working so much overtime. I lose lucidity.

I am in my house doing something... I don't know what. Again I decide I want to be dreaming. At first I think it might just be HI because after my last waking at 3:56am I wanted to WILD. But no, this seems a little more than that and I accept it as a dream.

I look around and notice my house. My vision is blurry but notice how my house looks like a blend between my normal house and something that I think of as an apartment. After a moment, I decide to go outside. I reach the front door and notice the door knob is at the top. There are dark yellow opaque panes of glass on either side of the door. I concentrate and expect a door knob in the proper place. When I look again its there but it wont turn. I blindly reach for a dead bolt and turn it. The door opens.

Again the area looks like waking life with a blend of something unfamiliar. Gravity becomes light and I begin taking long slow jumps into the air. I begin to giggle like a kid enjoying the feeling. After several jumps I begin making a swimming motion in the air and start to actually fly. I move above the tree line and lose my reference point. I get a feeling of vertigo and all I see is light blue sky and dots of green. I will myself back down. Once I feel myself touch the ground my vision returns to normal. I decide to settle for bouncing around more than flying.

I am in a wooded area with open-walled sheds that have old corrugated tin roofs. I jump to the roof tops and bounce from building to building. That's when I begin to think about several goals I have. I pick the first one I think of: China. I look forward and notice that I seem to be in a mountainous area heading up a steep rocky hill where the building are built into. There is a long structure jutting out of one the buildings on the hill; It looks like a conveyor belt with an enormous valve at the end. My first thought is that must be some type of grain mill. It all looks familiar and I think of something from Fallout. I don't pay too much attention to it because I want to get over this hill and use expectation to make it to the great wall. A huge tree is in front of me and the branches cover me. At the top of the hill I see a train passing by. I find this curious and begin to float toward it. Unfortunately, I get hung up on one of the branches and can't seem to escape. I feel like a helium balloon with no way to control my flight. I look back at the train and notice a thick wall of trees that stand impossibly high. I realize that I must not only reach the train but fly over the giant wall of trees. The task feels impossible and I give up.

I have some wakefulness at this point and stay up for about 45 min before returning to bed.

#6:35AM

I am in some house with a door that wont close properly. I think it must need vents. My dog daisy is whining from some place in the room but I can't find her. I go outside and my wife has put several animals in a large rabbit cage. I expect to see ferrets but they look odd and hairless. There are also a few sugar gliders curled up in hammocks with several white birds perched on wooden dowels. I shrug at the sight and laugh to myself as I walk back in the house. I think we probably need to find a place inside before it gets cold. I pause at the back steps. Something isn't right it should be cold. I become aware of the temperature but notice its not hot or cold. Well, it's still fall but we should probably do something soon. I look down and realize I grabbed something from the trash can that is next to the cage. I have a bag of old rotten potatoes. I smell it and it's pretty foul. Instead walk all the way back to the trash, I hurl the bag toward it, missing. Close enough. I walk inside.

There is a pretty open floor plan and the kitchen and living room are pretty much the same room. I feel like my hands are dirty so I wash them in the sink. There is blood and I notice cuts on my hands. Two of my fingers are missing halfway. I franticly pray, "OH DEAR JESUS NO. PLEASE NO!" I take my hand out of the water and take a closer look. My hands are fine. I relax and think I must be losing my mind.

I hear my dad laughing and turn around to see him watching some comedian on TV. He keeps telling me that it's not funny. I ask him, "Then why are you laughing?" I walk around a partition to relax in a recliner while I listen for his reply.

I hear him say, "Well it was, but they lost me at..."

I wake up.

I did my WBTB at 4AM but had a mild headache. I listened to a relaxation mp3 for about 30min and felt very close but the earbuds and the sound kept me too awake. I gave that up and rolled over but my headache intensified and I just wanted to fall asleep.

I had a few strange dreams after that. My wife's alarm went off at 6. She kissed me bye and left probably around 6:20AM. I got up to go to the toilet and laid back down. I thought to try WILD again but was too out of it but I at least said some mantra and just set my intent.

#197 - 6:42AM - DILD

I am in bed with my wife in some strange bedroom. It feels almost like a bed and breakfast cottage and we are on vacation. Morning sunlight is shining in as we talk just being lazy in bed. During our conversation I keep seeing a shadow of a little girl outside the window. It looks like my daughter, Dalynn. I ignore her at first but I keep hearing random sounds like someone knocking a few times with long pauses. I tell my wife that I think Dalynn wants in. She jumps up and over reacts being crazy silly. She knocks over some oddly shaped ceramic planter. Dirt and parts of the plant land in the bed and some hits my face. I say, "You knocked over the Bansai tree!" I look and there is some ugly knobby thing on the floor. "Or what's left of it." She hands me the planter with a strange sheepish grin on her face. My ring on my hand hits the planter and there is a low hollow bong sound. Ignore this. She wants ME to clean this up? I become furious and let out a low growl while shaking a fist. I just leave her to the mess and go to open the door for Dalynn.

I walk out a door on the right and turn left. There is some empty and strangle shaped entryway to the front door. I notice a dark hook and wonder why it's there. Open the door and Dalynn says something like, "Tell me about your low prices."
My only response is, "Where is your sister?" I peek my head out the door some and notice a child running toward us in a Spiderman costume. Surely that's not her. I do a double take and now it is a boy of about 5 to 6 years of age in some crappy looking Spiderman/Superman costume. The boy pauses, looks at me, and rubs his nose with the back of his hand before running off. At first I thought it was my ex's step nephew but then the face clears up and I see that it is my son. I turn around and start to say something to my wife about his costume. It's just horrible and I want to know how let him wear that.

Then I realize that he isn't currently that old. He's not even walking on his own yet. I think, This might be a dream. I almost feel embarrassed doing a nose plug in front of my wife but I figure she's used to this by now. I blow through and loudly exclaim, "I am dreaming. YAHOOOOOOOOOO!" The dream starts to collapse right away so I just stand there screaming and shouting like an idiot.


I have a FA back in the same bed as before. I hear a knocking again and I walk to answer knowing that it will be my daughter asking about prices. I just dreamed this. I open the door and before she can speak I say in a cheesy game show host voice, "Ask me about our low prices!" I pause a second. "Oh wait. I might still be dreaming." I do a nose plug and find that I am. This time there is less excitement and I look around to take in the dream. I stare up at a bare tree growing in the yard and think what to do. At this point I hear my waking life son cry out. This doesn't wake me but it becomes very distracting. I know he wont let me dream much longer. I look around some more and see a dirt road and open pasture in front of me. The sky is cloudy and overcast and the air feels cool. There are a few houses to my right. I didn't realize it then but this area is very similar to a childhood town in TX. I notice how vivid and surreal the colors are. It's all very beautiful.

I see a white truck driving in the field and I want to RW fly to it. Again, I try to think of actual goals but I can't seem to remember now. I feel content to just explore this time. I focus on the tail gate and zoom to it, but just before I reach the truck I focus to another point. I can now feel light, cool, misty rain. I realize how odd this is to feel rain when I am dreaming. I smile and enjoy the sensation. There is a mansion on the other side of the pasture. I see manicured shrubs, a fountain in the middle of a circle drive and a large statue of a man on the right. I zoom to the statue and hold on to it as the dream fades out.

I feel like I could DEILD back in but I know my son's awake and I need to get up. He lets out another cry right on cue.
