Morning of October 3, 2018. Wednesday. Dream #: 18,916-01. Reading time (optimized): 2 min. Readability score: 71. My dream self is non-lucidly in my den in the Stadcor Street house in Brisbane, where we have not lived for years (since our two oldest were young children). There is clutter of which I am sorting. I pick up several winter sweaters from atop other items on the floor and hang them on a hook on the door. A few are like ones I have had in real life, including a gray one. I also pick up pieces of technology, such as a sound card. The west wall has a narrow gap under it. I notice that a big dragonfly is headfirst about halfway under it. It seems to be dead. I decide to show it to my youngest son. (My dream self has no recall that he never lived at this address.) When I turn around, the bedroom where Zsuzsanna and our youngest son is is the same room I had just been in, though my dream self does not notice this error. The head of the bed is against the west wall. Zsuzsanna is sitting up in bed. Our youngest son is standing on the opposite side of the room. I feel intense vibrations in my fingers as the dragonfly is alive and moving its wings. I go to the back door, incorrectly rendered as facing east into the yard rather than south onto the porch, and let it go. It still has trouble flying, so stays near the door. Looking out the window of the back door after closing the door, I see an American robin (juvenile based on its coloring) hopping out to the center of the backyard. It seems that the bird probably ate the dragonfly, though I did not see this occur. I awake around this time. Use of a door or doorway serves as one of two potentials, either triggering the waking process (as here) or triggering lucidity and vivification. A door is a transition from one mode of consciousness to another, in real time. Birds have been a common point of focus in the last moments of my dreams since early childhood. It is an emerging consciousness factor as an association with the dream self’s fictitious body (not viably understanding where one’s real physical body is, associating the essence of sleeping and dreaming with flight). The dragonfly was a potential for lucidity but did not serve as such. This type of focus, which has occurred in many dreams, is from subliminal awareness of my hands when my dream self’s attention focuses on picking up or moving something. No preconscious avatar is present. That is most often because of the presence of a dream state indicator, in this case, the bedroom and bed, a feature of at least one dream per sleep cycle since earliest memory and which serves as a precursory liminal awareness of being asleep, thus the preconscious is often not needed in RAS mediation of this type. (That depends on my dream self’s mode and progress of transition from the dream state.)
Morning of April 26, 2015. Sunday. I am completing an algebra ii task on a TI-84 Plus graphing calculator. It is the most recent task worked on in real life and results in the drawing of a dragonfly using several graphed equations. However, the apparent result is an actual dragonfly that emerges from the front edge. I feel slightly guilty at creating a couple malformed dragonflies that may suffer for a short time before dying. One is too big since I forgot to reset the zoom to the default and as a result, its wings are slightly truncated though it seems to become more intelligent and manages better than the other ones. I am unsure if the buzzing that begins to occur is coming from one of the dragonfly’s wings or from the calculator shorting out, as a small flame shoots from the side with a “pop”. Perhaps a battery has exploded, but this does not seem to be the case. Typified as having exit flight waking symbolism as the dragonfly emerges from calculator and flies away. Critical thinking skills waking prompt present (calculator). No failed flight symbolism as first malformed dragonflies not verified to have died. There is an association with neural energies as the “buzzing” insect

Dream recall from today's non-lucid naps. Note: I was trying to DEILD in a few places through the naps where i woke up, but it was unsuccessful, though it was continuation of the dream, in those cases i am counting it as same dream. Nap #1(fragments): I was at home and there was bad weather and i was feeling somewhat sick due to it for some reason. I with a few family members were testing some computer fans and changing some hardware. There was toilet in my room, and it should have not been used, but i used it. Then we were building some kind of supercomputer from various hardware and arguing about that hardware. Then dark clouds came and there was very heavy wind, everyone but me was happy. Nap #2: I was at home, family members were still testing fans and there was big hole in the wall leading outside and there were a couple of rather unstable fans in it, they radiated some kind of waves that were annoying me and disrupting my WILD attempts, i went to the kitchen and i saw rather large dragonfly but haven't paid any attention to that. I went back to my room and started watching some let's play of Syphon filter video game, there was weird level in buildings and at the start of it there were bunch of weapon boxes with gun named 'IC1000' that looked like mini SMG and let's player said that it's pretty weak, also there was a couple of boxes with HK5. Then level was being set in some big multifloor building and there were enemy agents, it looked very hard. Later dream switched to some movie like story about some female character that was at first with some rich dude that was getting more than 1mil$ per day but then she went to another dude who was working in some kind of organization like police. Then dream switched back, i went to the kitchen and was surprised to see pretty big green dragonfly, it was somewhat more in size than my palm, there were also two blue ones and they were smaller. I was catching them and trying to figure out where they came from. Later there i was getting to do some hardware upgrades and figured out that internet port got broken, so i had to move hardware to the different computer... which looked like dark-red metallic spherical thing floating in the middle of the room with smaller spheres floating around it. I got some of it done and then dream ended.
I decided to dream journal as soon as I wake up for the first time and this is the outcome: I found some sort of weird fly, I decided to give it an egg and it was starting to change. I ended u in a map on modern warfare 3 with this creature which had evolved into a dragonfly but it was literally a dragon with wings, I got really excited and kept saying I created a dragon, it was flying around and it landed on my shoulder and I could feel it like it was actually there, *This is the first time I can remember feeling something in my dream*. So I was letting it fly around for a bit when some people started to walk by, there was this girl from my school and we kind of caught eachothers glance like we had fallen in love, I could feel the emotion too. I was trying to hide the dragon fly so they wouldnt see as I thought they might want to kill it, and I thought to myself that I have created a dragon and that in about 20 years time it would have fully grown into a proper dragon, I was thinking that the dragon thought I was its parent as I formed it. This girl walked by and I turned were she was walking and there was this woman who said something but I can't remember and then the dream ended.
