Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid Lucid #205: Beer Goggles My friend “Leroy” and I are hosting a meeting at a hotel. We’re there to meet with another company for merger talks and we’ve got a table of breakfast food laid out for the attendees. A bunch of other random people are having breakfast here, though, and have stolen a bunch of our yogurts. Leroy runs past these tables and grabs the yogurts back before sprinting off toward the meeting in the nearby bar. I think this is pretty awesome and get a good laugh out of it. When we get to the bar and sit down with the other company, I realize that it’s lots of people I know from different areas of my life. This strikes me as strange, and when I consider my situation, I realize that I’m dreaming. I spend a little bit of time conversing with the people at the table, just out of curiosity as to how they’ll react. I talk to SK for a moment and then to a younger version of SC who is now sporting a mustache. They all seem to be aware that this is a dream and don’t try to fool or convince me otherwise. I leave the table and think that I should use the opportunity to try a drink. As I pass a waiter I say, “Sir, give me a beer,” and he immediately complies. I take a swig, but it’s sort of gross, like flat mineral water. For some reason I decide to dump the rest over my face. It feels cold, realistic, and super invigorating! There also seems to be an unlimited supply, because it just keeps pouring and pouring. The effect is awesome because it’ll occasionally even cross my vision and make everything look all watery-looking. I head for the exit, a huge, ornate wooden door with an iron ring for a handle. I pull it open (with some effort) and then do this again at a second huge wooden door. Now I’m out on the street in the daytime, pouring “beer” over my face and looking at the passerby. It’s a beautiful day out and I just enjoy the sunshine and presence of the DCs. An attractive Asian woman in a two-piece swimsuit approaches from down the street, but as she walks by closer to where I’m standing she morphs into a guy walking around in shorts and a t-shirt. “Hey, you were a woman just a second ago!” “That’s right,” he says. “Do you want me to change back?” “Yeah, change back!” At this, he leans over, grabs the back of his t-shirt and seems to kind of struggle with pulling it over his head. And as he emerges, “he” is back to female form again. I’m super amused by this and I cheer at the trick. She seems really flattered and pleased by my reaction and laughs before walking away. This whole time I’ve continued pouring beer over my face and I look up at the bottle to see that it’s really small now, about the size of a thimble. It still pours just fine, though, but I don’t have long before the dream ends.
Total sleep: 5 hours Daytime Techniques: Reality Checks. Asking myself whether or not this is a dream whenever something felt weird or randomly through out the day. I went to bed around 10:30 expecting to wake up at 6:45 to write in my journal. I also set an alarm for 6am to try RILD. Dream Title: Supernatural - fragment Spoiler for for full analysis: Dream: Something about Sam and Dean or something based on the show Supernatural. Vividness: (scale of 1-15, 10 is waking life vividness) 0 Awareness: (1-10; or lucid) 0 Length: NA Emotions: NA Dream Signs: TV show, night Woke up around 2am. Didn’t try to remember this supernatural dream because I was too excited to try RILD, which requires you to wake up right before your REM cycle and go to sleep immediately. Throughout the day I tried clapping my hands in order to establish a rhythm. To be honest I’ve done it only a few times because I thought I didn’t need to practice clapping. I knew if that didn’t work I could always just pretend i’m walking or snapping my fingers, whatever. Focusing too much on doing the clapping made me not sleepy and as a result I ended up staying up until about 3:30 am. Dream Title: Grandfather death threat Spoiler for for full dream: Dream: Don’t recall how it all started, but I was in the same place as my mom and my grandfather. Possibly some other characters. It was time to go to bed and I retired to the bedroom. I was watching something on my iPad as my mom opened the door and said that she has terrible news for me. There were death threats to my grandfather. And he had to leave the country. I ran out into the main room and hugged him. Vividness: (scale of 1-15, 10 is waking life vividness) 2 Awareness: (1-10; or lucid) 2 Length: 1 hour Emotions: Sadness, scared Dream Signs: Night, relative’s death Dream Title: Beer run Spoiler for for full dream: Dream: I am driving up my apartment complex road. It is winter. Something seems to be blocking the path. May be snow. I am forced to park substantially earlier. I get out of the car and hear a couple of guys discussing how they need to go to the liquor store. I don’t remember why but I get back inside my car and they get in with me. I look at them and think “Ok, fuck it I’ll give you guys a ride.” The liquor store is very lit. It reminds me of how apple stores are in the mall. Also instead of selling alcohol in bulk they sell them by the bottle and a bunch of people are just standing around drinking. In order to enter I have to give my credit card and my ID. I take out my wallet to order and it is see through and inside of it is all water and ice. For some reason my wallet goes back to normal by the time I have to give my credit card. “But I gave it at the entrance! How stupid and frustrating.” - I say to myself. Vividness: (scale of 1-15, 10 is waking life vividness) 3 Awareness: (1-10; or lucid) 2 Length: 30 mins Emotions: Frustration Dream Signs: Night, Bar My alarm wakes me at 6am. I try RILD only to run in the same problem as before. Any sort of motion I try to imagine just makes me more awake. Am I not ready to try this? Is it just one bad experience since my sleep wasn’t that strong anyway? Apparently I snoozed instead of shutting the alarm off, so it rings again at 6:09. Then my girlfriend’s alarm finishes off any hopes of salvaging another dream at 6:30. Being able to recall multiple dreams is definitely an improvement.

I was back to school. I had to take an exam where the tasks were at both sides of the paper. But tasks were really weird. I had to be a girl on the train. ANd i had to pretend i was innocent, not harmfull. And i had to take pictures of myself, beeign bonded and torchured. But in real i had to destroy the world.. Then i haid to record a music track and enter a competition. I did, i made a metal song then send it to the reviewboard.. and they answered congratulations, you have won the competition even though that people who dont like this genre of music did not vote at all. There was a question, what did euroasian people eat in medieval ages 1437? I wrote cabbage, beans, corn.. which i later deleted because i remembered that Columbus didn't came back from america yet. And some food i made out. Next question was "this is the year of the moon! moon equals a letter I. what is I?" This question was something about meditation, and i didn't know how to answer it. But the strange thing about this exam was the numbering of the questions, they didnt follow as they should, it was like 22,23.. and then no questions and later 28. And then i went to a bar. I overheard two guys talking about metal music scene in my town. One said that here are many metal pubs. And in reallife there is none, so I asked him where were they before? and he answered that a discoclub jungla.. was renovated into a metalbar. I said thanks, im trying to finnish my beer, and a friend from ireland passed me by.. he was drunk already, he went straight into beveragestorage.. and another friend said, well he is wasted.. and i said well that's his problem, he will be even more.. and he brought a beer which i have never seen before. It was our local beer Lasko, but the label was totaly out of order. On the left there were people and ice.. in between there were broken glasses, and on the right there was an elephant in a desert. And usually it is a mountaingoat on greed surface. Then we went into a car, we picked up 2 girls.. but we had a feeling that they are going to kill us. So i stopped the car, we went to take a leak, and we grabed shotguns and sneaked around my car, and bang bang.. shot them trough the carglass.. And then i found 4 thirts. 2white and 2 black, they were all wet. I was trying to get them dry. I found those poles and rope, which are ment for making clothes dry, clothdryers. And i tried to hang those shirts on the rope. I just couldnt. I took the first clothpeg and it was too small to hold the shirt. And then i took the bigger one in a crocodile shape, still to small. And then i saw that there are some blueprints on the shirts. The blueprints were for Davinci's flying machine. Well i have to get them dry i said to myself. I walked to a tree which i was climbing a lot in my childhood. And it was huge. I climbed to the first branch, and i start to hang those shirts on the branch. I hanged 2 out of 4..
Ok.. i was having a band practice with an unknown band.. in the dream it was my band, but i dont know either the band members or the music. We were practicing in a bomb shelter. It was a nice place.. and we just got new bass player, and it was a woman. Then we celebrated with the band and my ex girl.. around a table. We started drinking.. well we were drunk already i think. And someone said sometging similar to "piki" which is how i called my ex. And she thought that that person said that, and she remembered out past times. But anyways.. we drank more.. I was driving a car.. i didnt feel drunk, i wanted to change a sweater. I got out of the car and i was drunk again. I went to my hotel.. which was not a hotel anymore. There were some wooden stairs and next to it it was a i dont know.. a slide so that you can go up the stairs by bike or a wheelchair. It was another bar now not a hotel. We went up.. and it was obviously closed because it was a fence and at least 3m drop to get to the bar. I said well guys it is closed.. i turned around and 2 babes came up the stairs and said.. bye.. se you tomorrow.. like we were there all night. AH ok.. i slided down the stairs.. and on the bottom i fell under someones table.. i was laughing and i was drunk. I stood up.. trying to walk.. the scene was weird. Everyone looked like a snowboarders mixed with disco peple. There were some girls and on the floor it was hay all over. It was a giant stable. I said to myself.. this is a good place to pick a girl.. i walked more.. fell again on the hay.. my vision started to be very drunk.. everything was spinning.. i couldnt keep the pace with my friends.. they were kicking some inflatable sex toy.. and i was still falling down and rising up.. they saw me and they laughed, they started to imitate my falls.. i tried to get to them.. but i fell again,, and i said to myself.. wtf? ive been drunk many times but this must be a dream! switching to lucid.. the first thing i saw was a computer. i dont know why.. it turned on.. and there were millions of colors in it. The camera of the dream moved slowly so the camera angle was from my bed.. like i was having opened eyes and i am just looking from my bed. Images on the computer were jumpy and colorful.. it was like some comercial about getting everything bigger. There were some little books just popping into a bigger ones.. and flowers were growing with super speed. And my bed became a bar stand. The computer was still there between the liquer. and a waitress came to serve me. she was blonde and good looking. My focus changed from the computer to her. I looked at her and she was changing shapes. she was aging superfast.. she was old in like 5 seconds. Then i woke up. Well it was a lucid dream but no control over it.
I dreamed I got into a conflict with a very surly, very unreasonable man. The other guy was drunk, so my moral compass kept spinning between "diffuse the situation" and "diffuse the situation with FISTS TO HIS FACE!" I'm not sure how/when, but the other guy suddenly goes flying (I didn't punch him, I swear!), and it turns out the other guy is Beethoven. A drunk Beethoven. A drunk Beethoven who is now indignant and outraged. His bros goes to help him up, but he just shrugs them off (I think I'm in a frat bar, by the way. We are in modern settings, except Beethoven looks like he stepped out of a time machine and decided, "hey, pour me a brewsky!"). Sadly, I didn't get to see how this ends before waking up.
1. I dream that I am in a grocery store, and that part of the grocery store is a bar. There's a girl in a cutoff shirt, or something. I pay for my groceries and park my cart outside the bar. The bar's very dark - the walls and floor have been painted black. I have a beer and buy a 6 pack of cider. When I return to the cart, someone has stolen half of my loaf of bread, and 6 eggs out of my egg carton. I complain to management and show them, and ask if they will reimburse me for the bread and eggs. 2. I dream I am in the attic of an old house. I've broken in. There's a lot of old stuff stored in here, some of it mine... how my stuff ended up in here, I don't know. Some friends and I have packed it into boxes. The attic is filling with water, and I'm moving through thigh deep water trying to sort through these boxes. We hear people in the house below. I get worried that they will discover us, so I start trying to put the boxes away neatly so they don't realize that their attic is full of someone else's things. I'm also worried they'll notice the water pouring down from their ceiling, since it's draining but I don't know where it went. Another friend gets on a cot that's built against the wall and starts talking about how in his college dorm, it was so tiny that he had to pull his knees up any time someone opened the closet. We decide the coast is clear and start handing boxes to someone on a ladder outside the door. From there, it's easy to go down the ladder and through a hole in the fence into my own yard. The boxes have some of the homeowners' stuff as well... I plan on selling it at a yard sale. My house is an old white two story. It's about a hundred years old, and there's nothing particularly special about the house itself. The yard is full of trees; one is much older than the house, and towers above it. It is an old oak tree. My grandpa is there now, and he is talking about how everyone cuts down their trees, and everyone's yard looks the same, and it's bland and sterile. I look at the yards of the other houses on the street (somehow they are bland-looking mansions) and see that they are all treeless and perfectly manicured. I flop down on my side and roll down the hill, and my brother (who is suddenly there) does the same thing, while our mother walks behind us. When I look up the hill, the contrast between my yard and the rest of the yards is striking. The trees rise above my house, and their branches weave in and out of each other. My grandfather comments that having so many trees in the yard is pleasant and adds character to the house. I pat the perfectly mowed, perfectly green grass at the bottom of the hill and tell him that the rest of the neighborhood seems very sterile in comparison. I wake up briefly and then go back to sleep, and the dream resumes, although it has lost some vividness. I continue from the bottom of the hill into a neighborhood beyond the bottom of the hill. I walk along a sidewalk. It is bright and sunny outside, and probably June or July. There are some preteen girls standing in a yard, chatting, and a little boy in a red striped shirt on a big wheel. This neighborhood is also quite uniform - suburban America, at its most mediocre. The vividness is returning. I realize I am dreaming and try to push through into full lucidity, but the dream is still too thin and everything goes black, and I wake up.
9/15/2013, 10:05-5:50 I got off the computer at 8:25 last night. Didn't meditate, too busy talking with my family. Went to sleep at like 10:05, couldn't fall asleep till 11:00. Dream 1: I was in a town, and there was an arena in it. I went into the arena and forgot the rest of what happened. There was also the number 20 somewhere. Wake-up (3:42): Got up to go to the bathroom and drink some water. Thought about having an LD and stayed up for 3 minutes till 3:45 (numbers are in order ). Then, I fell asleep around 15 minutes later, and had a "lucid moment". Woke up a few seconds afterwards, probably too excited. Dream 2: This one was pretty long. I was in a barn at first. Well, a barn that was somehow turned into a bar. I saw these four suspicious people. They were all fat; really fat. One was an Indian guy, another was African-American guy. There was also a fat white woman, and a fat white guy with glasses. They were all staring at me and talking to each other. So I left the bar and met my dad. We went to someone's house (a redneck-ish person) that looked EXACTLY like mine! Dad and I stayed there for a few hours, talking with the guy. There was also this cute curly blond daughter the guy had. I think I talked to her. All was well when, eventually, I saw the four fat people again! They were on the back deck of the house. My dad and the redneck guy were in the living room, talking, while I was with his daughter standing, staring at the 4 trespassers. They tried to quickly open the sliding screen door, but I quickly locked it with every lock there was (which, apparently, was that driving lock thing and three regular door locks on the side, more than it actually has). The 4 people then got angry, and entered the house through a secret door that I NEVER NOTICED before (sarcasm) that somehow went into the basement. I started screaming, "THEY'RE IN THE BASEMENT! THEY'RE IN THE BASEMENT!" Our parents and us quickly got up and went into the master bedroom. The redneck guy was trying to open the gun safe, when the four fat people came into the room, each carrying a pistol. The Indian guy then started pointing his gun at everyone, along with the white guy. The Indian was talking about something, probably to do with this being a robbery. He pointed his pistol at me, saying, "I'll shoot him!" (or something to that effect) and I then crossed my arms and rolled to the side, thinking he doesn't know where my chest is, if he shot me (lol what the heck was I thinking?). I then realized my arms were crossed and put them behind my back, palm in palm against the wall. My dad then said, "Okay. Let's go sit in the living room and negotiate something." (or, again, something like that) and all the adults left, leaving me and the girl in the bedroom. I tried to open the gun safe. It had a fairly sharp point at the top, and the top number was 2000! I then saw the girl go into the closet. I asked, "Why you going in there?" She said, "I don't want them finding me when I come back." I then decided to climb in with her. I then got this feeling we were gonna end up making out, and the dream ended.
So, this one is very long, and very fuzzy in my memory. So bear with me. There's some dude with a glow stick on my front porch. My mom and me were in the kitchen. For some reason there were cupboards outside on the porch. The guy was looking through them. Eventually the guy left and we stood up. *Memory blindness* My dad came in from work, and said "They're after me, for tax evasion". It sounds kind of nonsensical, but in the dream it was clear as day. We started running upstairs. Since this was a dream I was running slowly and my talking came out as whispers. I don't get why I don't do a reality check then! Agh! Anyways, we ran upstairs and locked ourselfs in our rooms. For whatever reason I had my little cousin Heidi with me. *Memory blindness* Something about burning telescopes *Memory blindness* Reading Heidi a kiddie book *Memory blindness* The next morning after all that, we got on a plane and headed for where ever. Suddenly the rest of my family was back (was this a new dream?). I apparently was flying the plane, and I said "This is your Casey speaking (Casey's my name) thank you for flying who-cares airlines". It actually looked like a flight simulator, as I was in 3rd person. Would that be classified as an OBE? *Memory blindness* We wound up in a bar or something, drinking beer out of straws. I wasn't drinking, and a good thing too, I'm under aged. I guess I forgot the rest. I'm really sorry for not remembering much. If I had any sense at all I would delete this, and say I couldn't remember it, but, meh. Note: I had a half a pill of melatonin that night, so maybe that effected this?
June 21, 2013 Lucid Dream 522: Bar King Series: Land of Dreams, Episode 15 DILD Technique: FA I can remember pretty much nothing prior to having a FA (false awakening). I awoke in a strange apartment that I didn't recognize. I thought to myself, "Where the f*** am I?" It only took a couple more moments for me to recognize that this situation wasn't right. I couldn't remember how I got there, so I performed a nose pinch RC. As expected, I was actually dreaming. I turned toward the nearby sliding glass door and attempted to melt through it. I was successful, but there was another layer of glass in front of me. I melted through it and there was, again, another layer of glass in front of me. I thought, "Oh c'mon now!" I had to phase/melt through 3 more layers of glass before finally making it outside on the balcony. I noticed glass was slowly forming in front of me again so I thought, "Ok, I've got to get the hell out of here." I took flight and quickly flew away from that house. I decided to try and have an "Attack on Titan" dream. I flew into a town and a building caught my eye. I landed in front of it and entered. It was a bar. I walked up to the counter and said, "Give me a bottle of your finest dream vodka." She looked skeptical and said, "The whole bottle?" I gave her a, "I'm not going to ask twice" look and she handed me a bottle of gold flakes vodka. It was glowing a brilliant gold color. She held out her hand as if to take money and I said, "I own this place. I'm the master of dreams." She was taken aback and began apologizing saying she didn't know. I just ignored her and walked back to a table. I started chugging the the bottle and I then slammed it on the ground. It shattered. The DCs looked at me strangely. It seemed they weren't sure what to do, so I shouted, "Its ok. If you want to slam your glasses on the ground, go ahead." Everyone looked timid and nervous. One guy held up a mug and, with much hesitation, let it slip out of his fingers. It fell to the ground and smashed. I cheered, "There you go! Its fun isn't it?" I grabbed a nearby mug and slammed it on the ground. The DCs all cheered and everyone started slamming bottles and mugs all over the bar. I forgot to mention, I felt the effects of the alcohol immediately after chugging the bottle. After my glass breaking party, I walked outside and was in a fairly primitive town. I knew I was where I wanted to be. I walked up to the nearest DC and asked, "What is the fastest way to wall Maria?" The DC pointed and I took off flying in that direction. I got excited upon seeing the wall and the dream began to fade. I landed on top of the wall and immediately prepared to DEILD. Series Details In the dream series, "The Land of Dreams," I explore the depths of my subconscious. With no real goals in mind, I explore the creative lands and characters that come before me. Who will I meet? Where will I go? What will I do? These are the dreams that fit into no particular category. Stay tuned for more entries to the series! June 21, 2013 Lucid Dream 523: Titan Slayer Series: Meiseki na Yume, Episode 5 DEILD I smoothly transitioned back into the dream. I could tell I was now outside the walls. I was on a large, square, wooden platform in the middle of a thick forest. I could tell the trees were tall, but they only reached to the same level as my platform. I looked out into the sea of green treetops. A patch of trees to my right began shaking violently. Suddenly, battle music began playing in the background and I knew what was about to happen. A huge titan emerged from the shaking trees. It was about 20 feet taller than the treetops and the platform. I held out my arms as if I was holding two blades like the ones from AoT (Attack on Titan - A currently airing anime that is awesome. The japanese name is Shingeki no Kyojin). The blades didn't appear, but I acted like I was holding them anyway. The Titian swung its arm in an attempt to grab me. Its arms were abnormally long and stretchy. I performed a dive-roll over the arm and siced the Titans arm with my invisible blades. Its cut a bloody gash into his arm. I dodged a few more attacks and the blades were now visible and solid in my hands. I dodged an attack and then leapt behind the Titans head. I sliced through the Titan's weak spot (back of the neck) with both of my blades. It let out a monstrous groan and fell to the ground, disappearing in the sea of trees. Suddenly, Titans began popping up all around and I cut them down one after another. The dream went into a 3rd person view as I continued to battle Titans. I noticed that I also had now become a Titan, but I was still the same height as a normal human. I was just jacked like a body builder and had the face of the Armored Titan (from the show). The dream switched in and out of third and first person as I fought a fat Titan that just wouldn't die. I finally managed to kill him and no more Titans came. I decided to head back inside the walls. I could see the wall off in the distance as I began to wake up. Again, I prepared to DEILD. Note: This dream was sometimes animated like the show, but also was fully 3D/real world graphics at times. Series Details "Meiseki na Yume" is Japanese for, "Lucid Dream." In this series, I take my passion for anime and combine it with my passion for lucid dreaming. Join me as I explore the world of anime the best way I know how, in my dreams! Stay tuned for more entries to the series! June 21, 2013 Lucid Dream 524: Time to Alter Time Series: Land of Dreams, Episode 16 DEILD I transitioned smoothly and was back within the inner walls of the city. I decided to just explore the area. It was night time, but there were many lights and neon lights scattered throughout the city, so it was very lit up. I made my way to a boardwalk with many shops and buildings. None of the buildings here had doors and the boardwalk traveled through many of them. It was like a big, open, outdoor mall. There were people partying and setting off fireworks all around. I entered one of the shops and saw a fortune teller-like woman seated on a fancy blanket. I had remembered something I wanted to try, just moments before. I asked the lady, "Where can I find the time dilation machine?" She pointed to a nearby door, so I proceeded through the door. I was now in a bathroom. There was an ancient metal computer-like device on the wall. It looked like a mix between a breaker box and an old apple computer. I attempted to type in 3 hours. The numbers were not being cooperative. I repeatedly typed up a jumbled mess until it finally showed "3 Hours." Of course, there were some jumbled characters on each side of the "3 Hours," but I didn't pay them any mind, I clicked the "start" button and exited the bathroom. I went back to exploring. There were so many random shops and objects scattered across the huge boardwalk that I couldn't remember everything. There were canoe shops, fishing shops, clothing stores, fireworks venders, beach balls randomly bouncing around, tumble weed, balloons, stuffed animals, etc. There was way more shit, but that is all I remember (had wrote down). There were also open houses along the boardwalk. The boardwalk was like a huge, winding, pier on a huge lake. Anyway, I entered one of the houses and there was a pool. There was a hot, naked chick sitting on the side of the pool. There was a long line of men in front of her waiting their turn to have sex with her. I watch for a moment and pondered cutting the line and having a go. I fought off the temptation and went back to exploring. I saw some speed boats and jet skis out on the lake, so I took off flying after them. I began chasing the speed boats around through the air, playing freeze tag with them. I was skimming the top of the water as I flew. I was "it" and soon "froze" all of the speed boats and jet skis. When I touched them, they literally froze in time. After winning the game of freeze tag, I landed back on the boardwalk. I walked into another house and there was a party going on. I saw a huge kite and attempted to fly while riding on it. I kept crashing into piles of random objects/toys/gear/etc. I could get the kite elevated, but it was out of control and crashed moments later. Always crashing into random piles of things. The dream soon began fading, so I, once again, prepared to DEILD. Note, the dream only lasted about 30-45 mins (dream time) after I typed in 3 hours, so it didn't exactly work out . Series Details In the dream series, "The Land of Dreams," I explore the depths of my subconscious. With no real goals in mind, I explore the creative lands and characters that come before me. Who will I meet? Where will I go? What will I do? These are the dreams that fit into no particular category. Stay tuned for more entries to the series! June 16, 2013 Lucid Dream 525: Jet Gunner Series: The Mind of a Gamer, Episode 7 DEILD This DEILD transition took longer than usual. I got some HI of the moon and space. I could hear "My Song" playing on my computer as I transitioned into the dream (the song from the anime, Angel Beats!). I had left my iTunes up as I had been sleeping this whole time. Anyway, I transitioned into the dream. I was in a fighter jet and was going through a video game-like stage. I couldn't control the speed or the jets direction of travel. I could strafe left and right with great maneuverability. I controlled the jet's guns with my mind. The environment went from realistic to PS3-like game graphics. I pummeled enemy jets as they approached from the background. It felt a lot like I was playing StarFox in a more realistic setting and great graphics. After a bit of this, the dream began to fade and I allowed myself to wake up in order to not forget too much of the previous dreams. Series Details With the dream series, "Mind of a Gamer," the gaming world and the dreaming world collide to produce a lucid paradise. Read as I take video game scenarios to the next level.

I started out driving from work toward a bar. I was going to meet a man there I know a bit from work, and don't really know and don't really like on some kind of date or happy hour. But I wanted to call it off, and say another woman would attend in my stead (this is a woman I do not know in real life). I did not know the direction to this bar but was driving there any way, though I did not know where I was going. I was desperately trying to use my phone to either get directions to this bar or to call this man to call it off, confused which. In mid dream, my husband showed up and he was now in the driver's seat, and he was telling me that I would not be allowed to use my phone or iPad any more because he needed all our data plan for himself. And while I thought this was harsh, I accepted that I deserved it. I had caused the loss of the election - it was all my fault - I felt profound guilt. In the middle of this discussion though where my husband is saying how I lost all my phone privileges, I interrupt him to say that I now have to use my phone to either look up directions to the bar or to call the man I was going to meet to tell him that I am not coming but another woman is coming instead. Side note: I found the references to my two dreams from June 6th in this dream fascinating. It's like this dream is a continuation and spin off of those dreams: http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/joan...te-vote-47125/ http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/joan...m-lucid-47126/
Date: 7 June Total sleep time: 8+ hrs Pre bed: SJW, B6 Sleep quality and WBTB: I have been sleeping like a sloth all week long. One thing I have changed in my WBTB routine was to switch from using an alarm to using natural wakes. This has worked out partially fine. I do wake up naturally 2-3 times after sleeping 4-5 hrs. I think that in this way I am allowing my body to determine the best time for WBTB, instead of me forcefully using the alarm. The only problem is that, out of fear not to cause insomnia and possibly due to laziness, my WBTBs were not as serious as they should have been, thus not raising alertness to desired for LD levels. Will have to work on that. Dream recall: While my recall has been somewhat reduced by my sleepiness, I have additionally been skimming my dreams. I have been putting only keywords instead of journaling, which has allowed me to...sleep more. The dreams weren't too interesting, so there wasn't much that I have missed apart from a brief lucid yesterday, that I couldn't access at all. I think that's fine so far. WBTB: peppermint oil capsules Dream1 DILD: I missed the transition. I suddenly find myself in front of my parents' place but the way it was a few years ago. I spend some time looking around, feeling happy. Then the neighborhood begins to morph into other buildings from my home town, so I stop staring at them, because I feel that I am causing the change. I check out my hands and they are in a mudra. After yesterday's discussion, I now wonder if I should try meditating in the dream or try to recall a past memory. I spend too much time in idleness and the dream escapes. I find myself in the void. I feel that if I wake up I can successfully DEILD back. I am in the void and not back in bed yet but get confused because I feel my body? Obviously this is my dream body and some dream is starting to form, but I think that I am in my bed feeling my real body. In real life I am sleeping in my bed, but the body I feel while in the void is sitting in a chair. I am too dumb to realize that this is my dream body, get irritated with the strange position I have assumed, try to change it and lie down? I struggle in the dark. Then I wake up in another dream. Dream2: Short FA, where I am in bed, reviewing the event and now completely sure after the dream that whatever I couldn't remember yesterday was indeed a very short LD where I didn't get much done. I wake up (left side) for real and take key notes Dream3: An elegant Asian woman talks about investment opportunities. She recommends that Western countries allocate 50 percent of FDI to China and the other 50 to Malaysia. This interview happens during some event. While this is happening I hear a piano playing. It is part of the melody from Mika's Grace Kelly. The sound is astonishing. Fragment4: A classmate follows me around kissing me. While it feels pleasant I try to avoid him because I have a bf. Fragment5: Me and a friend enter in a luxurious store where they sell toothpaste. It slowly changes and is now some kind of bar full of hookers. Fragment6: I look into the nearby building and Christian Slater is there with more hookers having some night party Fragment7: Me and bf, no comments ---------------------------------------------------------- Progress with this month's goals: - Do 100 RCs (added) - notice real life DS 100 times and RC (added) - 10 proper WBTB attempts -> days (3/10) - 10 morning RCs (1/10) - 2 proper WILD attempts (0/2) - task flexibility - journal flexibility

I dreamt that I was in Finland on vacation. I was in a fairly big city, not sure which though. It seemed to be a pretty old town. I was going there with a friend named Patrick, which I don't know IRL. We were walking around in the city when we passed a bar, it was part of the corridor we were walking though so we had to go through it. There I saw to my great surprise two girls that I know IRL! I sat down and talked to them for a while. Then I bough a beer for me and one of the girls which I think I had started flirting with. When we had finished talking they decided to join us, since they were on vacation as well we might just as well walk around together. After a while it seems like we split up, for I was sitting alone with one of the girls. We were talking about Patrick, and weren't exactly saying nice things about him. Then I realised he was sitting right next to us, and he was quite angry about us saying bad things about him behind his back. However he stayed with us, because I had apparently promised to find him a girl, and he told me he would stay until I have fulfilled my promise. :/ I remember feeling quite ashamed about the entire thing. Dream intepretation: Moral of the story: Don't say things about people they don't want to hear. It is funny, I have actually been thinking about going on vacation to Finland, perhaps this is my minds way of saying "go for it!"
May 30, 2013 Lucid Dream 512: Yoshi D. Luffy Series: Meiseki na Yume, Episode 4 DILD Technique: ADA I just recently started watching the anime, One Piece. It has been on my "Plan to Watch" for a while, but I just now got around to watching it. I'm loving it, by the way. So much better than I expected. Anyway, I was watching it on Hulu when I fell asleep. It played eisodes as I slept and it mightily influenced this dream. The first parts of the dream that I remember, I'm at some sort of banquet. Its in, what appears to be, some sort of cafeteria. I can't remember about this, but I suddenly realized I was dreaming while sitting at the table. I remember thinking, "Is this the first time I ever became lucid while I was sitting down?" It wasn't, but this thought crossed my mind. I looked around and there were several long tables filled with random people. I looked behind me and there was a wall with many windows. I looked outside and saw a harbor and the sea. I suddenly got the idea to become Luffy from One Piece. I decided to just start acting like Luffy. I looked at the guy sitting to me right and said, "Hey weird guy! When do we get to eat?" I then noticed that our plates already had food on them. I tipped up the plate and shoveled the food into my mouth. Eating the entire contents in one gulp. I then got up and went to the buffet line and started just grabbing food and piling it into my mouth. I heard someone shout at me, "Luffy! Get back over here now!" It was Nami. I walked back over and sat down beside her. She fussed at me, but I ignored her and tried to look around for something to do. I saw the guy sitting beside me was looking at me out of the corner of his eye. I looked away and when I looked back, he was out of his seat, squatting down in the floor just inches away from me with a big goofy grin on his face. He looked like a pirate. He said, "You ate a Devil Fruit didn't you?" I said, "Yup, I ate the Gum Gum one." He looked like shocked and leapt to his feet. He threw up his fists and said, "You! Your straw hat Luffy!" I jumped out of my seat and put my arms up as well. I said, "You looking for a fight!?" He replied, "So what if I am?" I then threw a stretch punch and knocked him to the ground. He sat up and told me he was sorry. He then proceeded to tell me a story about his whole village being cursed and falling ill. We talked for a bit, but I can't remember what was said. I remember hearing my own voice and thinking, "It just sounds like me. I need to sound more like Luffy." So, I attempted to change my choice to sound like Luffy. To my amazement, it sounded perfect. I noticed that the banquet was being held by the marines and they had noticed me because I was being too loud. They pointed me out and started running at me. I jumped up and stretched my arm to the nearest door. I grabbed the handle, lifted my feet, and shot toward the door, Luffy style. I ran out of the banquet and down the long hallway. The scenery had changed and I was now in the harbor town in the evening time. Acting like Luffy, I said aloud, "Man, I want some food!" I saw a nearby bar, so I went in. There was no one in here except for the bartender. I jumped up on the bar stool and said, "Give me food Mr." He looked at me and chuckled. He then brought out a plate of food. He said, "This is our special. More food than you can handle I'm sure!" There was fried shrimp, some sort of crazy looking fish fillets, and these huge skewers of barbeque lizards. I ate everything in a matter of seconds and demanded another plate. The lizard skewers were great. Tasted like what I'd imagine barbeque squid would taste like. I've tasted squid before, but not with barbeque sauce. They man brought another huge plate of the same thing and asked me who I was. I told him, "I'm Luffy and I'm going to be King of the Pirates!" He laughed as I downed that plate as well. As the bartender was preparing me another plate, a female entered the bar. She was clearly a pirate and she introduced her self to me. I told her I was the future King of the Pirates and she challenged me to a contest. She pulled out a knife and started doing the stab between the fingers thing. She was doing it pretty fast. The bartender was to be the judge. She finished and then walked over to talk to another pirate who had just walked into the bar. She told me I could practice before trying to top her. I grabbed the knife and started doing it as fast as I could. Suddenly, it looked like Luffy's Gatling Gun attack. I could see flashes of hands all over the place. The female pirate walked back over and was amazed. She stared in disbelief as I moved so fast it appeared I had 20 hands. I could also hear the stereotypical bouncing rubber sound (boooiiiinnnnngggg) every now and then. I knew I was hitting my fingers, but she didn't knoww I had ate the Devil Fruit. Soon after the chick had disappeared. I shoveled in another plate of food within seconds and then stood up and began looking around the room. It was full of pirate type decorations and covered in random bounty posters. The bartender began telling me that the most famous of pirates had came through his bar. I told the guy I was leaving and began to strut out like Luffy. He told me to wait and handed me the check. It was $199.00. I grabbed it, walked over to the chick's plate and laid it on top of her bill. I smiled and said, "I won!" He accepted this and I left. I could feel that my body was rubbery and it felt really cool. I started stretching my legs with my walking stride and just playing around with my new body physics. At some point, Zoro joined me and was walking with me. We entered a big shopping mall and I was still acting like Luffy. Zoro asked me where we were going, I said, "I dunno. On an adventure!" He rolled his eyes but kept following me. I started running and ramming into people clumsily like Luffy and then apologizing. I bumped into a group of girls and one of them recognized me. She said, "Zack? Is that you?" I recognized the girl when I was in the dream, but now I don't know who it was. She was beautiful, that is for sure. She started talking and said that she had never forgotten me. She said that she would just sometimes say my name and think of the old days. I said, "Well I'm different now. Now, I'm a King and this is my domain." I moved my arm around to gesture the entire environment. She looked all starry eyed, so I grabbed her hand and led her away from the other, unimportant DCs. I told her that I'd show her the time of her life. I took flight while holding her hand. We flew for a few moments and then landed again. She told me it was amazing. I kissed her and whispered in her ear, "You haven't saw anything yet." As we walked, I grabbed her by her waist and began twirling her around. Romance comedy type music began playing. You know, the parts where the romance gets serious progression. The lights were off, but it wasn't dark. White mirror ball lights were spinning around the mall. I danced and lifted her up into the air, dirty dancing style. We passed an ice skating rink that was in the mall. I saw my friend Willow on the ice skating ring and we waved at him as we passed. I lost my lucidity around here. I was trying to find a place to make love to the mystery girl. We venture into a warehouse, but some lady followed us in and had 3 or 4 dogs with her. One was huge! She told us we had to leave, but I told her we officially worked there and she was just a contractor. I showed her the exit and she left. We had to find a new place because the dogs were rowdy. I found a room that was near one of the exits to the mall. The mall had a christmas theme and there were two nearby workers dressed as elves. We snuck into the room and shut the door behind us. The room was a staged room for Christmas "family pictures." There was carpet a fake fireplace, a christmas tree, fake presents, and a massive bed. The Dwarf actor, Peter Dinklage, was in this room with us and we were acting as if he had been with us the whole time. I told him that I me and the chick were getting the bed and he had to sleep in the plastic dog house. He got mad and bit down on my wrist. I picked him up, opened the door, and tossed him outside of the room. He started going crazy and tried to get back in the room. He was pounding the windows and pulling the door handle. Suddenly, the mall intercom came on and said, "All shoppers must exit the building. We are now closed." He started crying and said, "Well, that is it. Good-bye my friends." He started to walk away from the door and one of the elf-dressed workers said, "Where are you going?" Peter replied, "I have to leave the mall is closing!" The other elf guy said, "No! This is the best time to be in the mall. You can stay." They got excited and he told the workers that we were hiding in the room. Me and the chick tried to keep them out of the room by putting strange objects through the door handles. I took her clothes off and laid her on the bed. After licking her for a bit, I rolled her over and penetrated. The workers busted in the room as I was having sex with her and I heard one of them say, in a British accent, "You have to stop right now, unless we can watch. We wouldn't be opposed to that now would we?" I just continued and paid them no mind. I woke during this scene. Series Details "Meiseki na Yume" is Japanese for, "Lucid Dream." In this series, I take my passion for anime and combine it with my passion for lucid dreaming. Join me as I explore the world of anime the best way I know how, in my dreams! Stay tuned for more entries to the series!
In this dream I was a male undercover cop. I was traveling on an interstate, when a patrol car started tailgating me. It was obvious to me that he was trying to catch me for speeding, but the more anxious I became, the more my foot accidentally pressed down on the pedal. I would catch this, and correct it, though. I knew this was called "baiting", but I was not doing it on purpose. Finally, my pursuier gave up. Then I pulled off to a reststop and sat down at the bar. I told this story of what happened to the bartender, told him that I was an undercover cop, knowing that the patrolman was bound to stop by this bar someday and hear the story, and regret (be embarrassed) that he had done this to a fellow cop.

Dream 1(fragment): I recall outdoors area of some kind. Dream 2: There was bar on the moon and various cartoon characters were gathering and hanging out there, i recall some cats, dogs and mouses, possibly Tom&Jerry among everyone else too, some were entering the bar right in the cars since there was special entrance. Many were having fun in the bar, some were getting drunk, there were a couple of gentlemen which were mostly talking to each other. Others were here to search for female counterpart. Some were just watching others from their cars. But in the end, many got drunk and there was massive fight, then dream skipped. I was on the moon and i was controlling a tank, which looked similar to M1A1 Abrams, except black colored, and there were some more tanks on my side and we were attacking enemy base, which looked like a big rectangular building. While others were distracting enemy tanks i found a safespot near base that was not guarded by stationary turrets and was out of sight of enemy tanks and was shooting the building, tank's projectiles looked like graphically enhanced version of shockwave from Warcraft 3, part by part i was bringing the base down and shortly i had to move since safespot was exposed after destruction of part of building. But in the end we destroyed the base and we were retreating back to our own base. In the base i was writing some dream journal entry for some reason, and it was about hiding from something, then dream ended.
