I was still drowsy after waking and decided to attempt a WILD.

I'm in my apartment. I realize I'm definitely past the SP bit. I decide to plunge into the wall, just to see what happens. I float towards the wall, hands first, and go right through.

Everything goes dark and fuzzy and murky. I try rubbing my hands together, but it doesn't help.

I'm swimming through the air towards an island. It's a small island that looks a bit like a small mesa sticking up out of the... nothingness? There are one or two people on the island. There are bookcases with manga and some odd small pillars. I hold on to one of the bookcases too hard while looking around and they all fall down. What a mess.

There is a jock who is in to hockey and a gun in a store. I find a thing with rings and netting. I put one ring on each finger of my right hand, but it is difficult because of the netting. When I finish, it's supposed to bind or take over my hand or something, but it doesn't really work.

I'm a scrawny teenage boy with black hair. My arm moves by itself and pulls out a gun. It's not my fault! I'm innocent!

I'm at M's. There are dogs. I shouldn't be afraid of the new one, that's small and brown and white. It's like the other one I like. I let it jump up on the chair and snuggle next to me. I feel a bit like I'm in SP.

My vision is fading. I try hard to open my eyes, but only open my eyes in reality. I see the watch I'd put on my nightstand this morning. I don't RC though.

My sister's dog is eating. He managed to carry a lot of kibble off to eat by himself. I'm refilling the food bowl with a book. I open it up and shake it and a bit of kibble falls out. When it stops, I open to a different page and try again. I didn't get much kibble out of it.

A very vague scene in which I am part of a group or duo.

My sister's dog is on the couch. He falls all over my water bottles. I pull one out. He's fallen down, and someone puts their knee on top of him. Poor pinned puppy.

I was lucid for most of the dream, but I don't remember for sure on some of the parts, whether I was lucid or not. I only put the bits I was sure I was lucid during in blue.

The Dream of the Play by the River (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to a place using the ferry which in real life is used to go from my island to the bigger island. I was with some people I knew, colleagues maybe?
I went to a performance of something I took part in. I think it was a play. The role I had was minor. I discussed it with some higher-ranking guy. We discussed the costume and/or make up. It was night time. We were rehearsing the play by a river. Large, flat rocks were sticking out of the water and were used to cross to the other side. The other bank of the river went up a little and was covered in a gradually thickening forest. It was the main scene of the show.
It sent a feeling of being a beautiful landscape, the river with the rocks and woods behind it. It reminded me a little of the Pyrénées.

I was at home alone, living there without my sister for a while, missing her. I decide to visit her. Next thing i know i drive a black big car, it looks like the car i have in moscow - but smaller and the front passenger seat was weirdly located too close to the panel. I drove for a long time until I got to a place that was like a small island - i could see it from far and get there with my car. This isn't israel any more. driving through the island it looks like a small village with tall trees, but kind of dark. Sort of like russian poor villages outside of moscow, but with tall buildings. I get to one of the buildings. it was one floor but I know where i'm going. as if ive been there before. i confidently go inside and i find my sister there. there were many kids there and she looks like one of them. but i know its her. There were supervisors there, i think two women. Ida looked like a little girl with short black hair, aged around 11-12? Sort of like a child from the cartoon. She doesn't seem very happy to me. And i'm very worried for her. i told her i missed her at home in the evenings and she needs to come back. At some point I leave, driving and i end up in this place. I cant tell if its a bar, but its dark in there and i had my backpack. with a computer and lots of other papers in it. On my left I see a very tall man - he's a basketball player and apparently i know him. i felt like id jump from excitement but i was too worried in my head to react too much towards him. he tells me he will attend my game, which i know is a huge deal. there was a woman on my right, whom i know - it might of been a friend who tells me that its insane, everything i need is for him to show up at my game. Then my dream goes changes as if its a memory within a dream and I see myself play basketball with others in a team. we are talking about the basketball player and how it will make me look if he comes on my behalf. I return back to the dark place (bar) by then he already prepared a ripped piece of sheet for me with some writing. i can't remember what it says but i fold it in half. open my bag and took some time thinking where to put it so i wont lose it. i end up putting it in my passport. I drive back to my sister. When i come back to her the house is more clear where she lives. as u walk in there are metal beds in front and a section on a left and they all sleep there. She isn't looking so good, like sick. she walks me out of the house. I started to wonder why she looks like this girl, and i started to wonder about her age. I asked her why are you like this? but she didn't answer me, instead, she said she was pregnant. I realise I was gone for what seemed like a drive to a bar, but turns out for a while. I'm not sure if her supervisors know about this because she seemed secretive talking about it. she says she was raped by this man, whom i knew but only face-wise. he was black and wide faced. an image of his face came to my head, so ive seen him but i didn't really know him.

that's when i was awaken and i had the hardest time trying to go back into the dream. It took me a while to put all the pieces back together to remember it in order to go back in. and by the time i did i knew i had to write down or else i wont remember.

another big factor was that we all had some kind of stomach problems. everyone had it because of something - we couldn’t eat normal food. we were all dependant on something else i can't really remember or understand how it worked, but i remember trying myself and trying to make others eat something fresh and see if it will make a change. i felt like i could see inside the bodies - i had an image all the time when i thought about it. it was dark/black insides as if burnt and not moving like coals. it was scary and every food entrance did something to us, but i don’t remember what.

There's a battle. We were flying. I recall an island, water and fire. There's also Pikachu. Lightning. STP. Agri. A dragon?

I was a small bird flying over a forest. A great white dragon (ghost dragon?) is chasing me. I headed for the forest and let the dragon chase me. When I deemed it was close enough, I flared my wings, barely avoided the dragon when the wind backlash pushed me back all of a sudden, and watched as the dragon crashed into the forest.

I just took a hour and a half nap, and became lucid!

I was walking in a large, cold grocery store in the middle of the fruit section. I was holding an orange that was the size of a watermelon. I was debating whether or not it was good enough to buy.

A girl came up to me and tapped me on the shoulder. "That orange right there is begging for you to buy it. Why don't you put that orange down, and buy that one?" I looked at the orange she was talking about, and it started moving around.

The thought that this might be a dream randomly crossed my thoughts. How did I get here? I asked myself. I remembered falling asleep for a nap, and did a reality check to confirm I was dreaming. I was!

I cleared my mind, and stabilized my dream. My first thought was to do the Task of the Month!

I decided I wanted to do the advanced task first, and turn into Poseidon. I wanted to be underwater to do that, of course!

I planned to walk through a wall, and on the other side would be the ocean! I saw a blank wall across from me, and back up. I ran at full speed at it, and BAM! I was in the ocean. I wanted to transform into Poseidon, and I figured the best way to do that was to find him and melt into his body.

I turned around and expected him to be there. He was there towering over me looking ANGRY. "YOU DO NOT TAKE MY PLACE AS A GOD!" He yelled.

I ran towards him, jumped and melted into his body. I could feel myself in his body now, controlling him. I was him. Well that was easy... I thought to myself.

I decided to test out my divine water bending skills. I held out my hands and held them together in front of me. I then separated them, and imagined ALL the water being separating with my hands. The ocean literally split right in half, and there was a long gap in the middle.

The floor of the gap was made of wet sand. I flew upwards, and let the water fall back down into the giant gap. I concentrated on a big section of water and made it float up and shoot into space. The vividness of it was amazing. I could feel the cold water on my feet.

I played around with the water a little more, and decided to go trick or treating. I looked down at my body and I was a GIANT. I looked about 15 feet tall, so I decided to shrink down to 4 feet, and look like a kid.

I flew across the water, while it splashed me in the face. After a minute or so, I saw what I was looking for: an island. This island had Halloween decorations EVERYWHERE and was filled with pumpkins. I landed on it, and it was very crowded. There were kids everywhere

I blended in with all the kids, and went to the nearest house I could find. The house was dark green, two story's, and had a rather large door. I went up to it and knocked. It opened immediately, and an old lady stared down at me. She smiled.

"Oh look at how cute you look! You are dressed up as Poseidon? I love that beard! It looks SO real!" she said to me.

I nodded and held out my hands to see what she would give me.

"Don't you have a bag to put you candy in?" she asked me.

I looked down and realized I didn't have a bag! I shaped one out of water, and froze it. I looked back up and she stared at me, horrified.

"Can I PLEASE have my candy now?" I said. She put a Jolly Rancher into my ice bag, her hand was shaking. Suddenly, fire came shooting out of her hand and my bag melted. She grinned at me, looking evil. I look around and all the kids were gone!

I quickly made a big wave and smashed it into her house. It collapsed. She grabbed my shoulder, and then I woke up. I wanted the dream to continue! I tried to fall back asleep, but couldn't. Maybe I can continue this tonight! Thanks for reading

(two days ago)

I started out on this island. I got into this yacth type of boat, white, has maybe two or three rooms inside, not more. The boat went off to the sea. I was on it with a couple of people I thought I knew in the dream, yet I don't recognize them now that I'm awake. We drove around a bit. At one point I saw this lizard like creature slip through the waves. After a while, the three of us on the boat decided to go swimming. I jumped from the top of the boat into the sea below. I swam in it for a while without any issues. However, after a while, this small fish like thing with two huge eyes (in proportion to the rest of the body) started chasing me. It showed its teeth, and I got scared. I swam away from it as well as I could. It was a mere 2m or less away from me the whole time, sometimes missing me by only a bit when trying to bite me.

I got on the boat safely again after a while. So we headed out again. After a while, we arrived at this deserted island composed of mainly sand and a couple of palm trees. We spent a while on the island, relaxing. The two of them stayed on the island and I headed out on the boat after a while of chilling. I drove it around a bit. Thought I was heading for mainland. But no... after a few hours, I arrived back at the same island. At that point, I had a huge mindrape moment, even though it wasn't that bizarre.

I was on this smallish island in the middle of nowhere. I was on the balkony of this lighthouse on the edge of this island. I was looking at the sea, waiting for the boat I had ordered to pick me up. I saw it in the distance. I also saw some black thing waddling through the water near it. I walked down the stairs of the lighthouse. There again, in the water, I saw the same black ripples. I went to the dock to intersect with the boat captain. The boat was this small motorboat with a couple of seats. At least it had a cockpit. I went with the ship captain to a restaurant on the island. Afterwards, while walking back to the boat, the black ripples were back. I heard a loud roar. I saw the black ripples slowly rise from the water, it was this giant lizard like creature (though I considered it a whale in the dream). It wrapped around the boat, and started dragging it away from the island. This continued at least 500m off the shore at which point the creature snapped the boat in half. Now the captain freaked out. But he yelled in the air and called out a dragon (how random, lol) to help. The dragon flew around, injured the creature. Then he retrieved the boat halves and put them near the dock. The captain told him to go and get it fixed on a nearby island. The creature swam near the dock, stood out of the water, and looked at all of us. The dragon looked at the creature for like 20 seconds, after which he wrapped his body and tail around the boat and totally crumbled it to pieces. The creature looked at us and asked us why the heck we trust a dragon but not him. Clearly the dragon had evil intentions as well. I seemed to feel trusting of the creature now, for some reason. The dragon looked around, hissed, and flew away. The creature just stood in the water.. looking at us. Dream end.

This is a complex dream.

Working backwards:

Finn. Something about Finn. In a large room, almost like a giant lecture hall or maybe an auditorium? Except I think there were a lot of stairs, rows and rows of stairs in a square...anyway, I know he gives me a hug, I explain to him what's going on - the press are taking pictures of me, you can google me and see them. They caught me on a boat ride with the senator (Marceu? I had to google how to spell his name, to be sure, though it had turned out I guessed right), and also another boat ride with some of his family (or something like that...friends? neighbors? people related to him). They're saying I'm having some sort of "thing" with him, which is especially controversial because he's a Republican. I work for the Democrats.

I say, "Yeah, I'm so in love with him I can't even remember his name or how to spell it." Sarcasm.

-

It's an election. The Republicans already have a strong majority in the House and Senate. The Democrats NEED to win some big ones. I'm apparently going district by district in Indiana, trying to gather support for the Dems. Each district has a candidate I guess? Must be Reps.

There's one district where no incumbent is running, or something. Should be an easy victory for Dems. Except, some Democrat says to this guy, a kinda fat and blonde middle-aged man dressed in a vaguely cowboy-ish manner, "You should probably [something about promoting a candidate] or we're gonna casino (?) this."

The Republican, who is lying on a couch, makes some smartass reply like, "Of course we're gonna do that, you think we'd just let you win?" [I'm paraphrasing; can't recall the exact words]. I'm offended and say "Well he was just being polite in reminding you, we didnt have to do that at all." He makes another rude comment.

-

Explaining the scenery is difficult. I live right near the border of another state (I guess?). Also by the water. There's this island, which I later find out is able to move. Neat. My neighbor is this Republican senator (who I later call Marceu, so I'll refer to him that way from here on out). He's kind of a jerk, but maybe somewhat handsome. Older, roughly mid-to-late 30s or maybe early 40s. He has a wife and kids, i think.

I know earlier in the dream we got in some arguments, but later we strike up somewhat of a friendship. Not a serious one - we go on a boat ride together because we're both lonely and bored. When he first approaches me I feel awkward, but we become a little more comfortable with each other.

Later, when I am again lonely (my dad is with this pregnant woman - more on that later), I take a boat by myself and circle around near his place, looking for him. I feel a little awkward, like a stalker. I wonder if I'm overstepping my boundaries. I don't end up seeing him, and I go back.

I see on the internet the press has been taking pictures of me and are speculating I'm having a romance with Marceu. I'm very offended - nothing is going on between us, we're just friends, no, just friendly acquaintances, really. I rant on my blog about it. Also, I'm kind of weirded out about having my picture taken and being famous - it's a little freaky, but also kind of cool.

--

This part is seemingly unrelated, but I believe it was part of the same dream. There's this pregnant woman - black, overweight. She's pregnant with twins. She goes into labor and for some reason the only people there to help her are my dad and I (and I think one or two other random people - a boy maybe?) , as she's unable to get a taxi or anything to get her to a hospital. So my dad has to help her deliver these babies and I'm pretty freaked. He initially approaches the situation with his usual calm and methodical manner. But he too becomes freaked and says "I can't do this." Apparently one of the babies is dead, and he has to pull out the dead one before he can get to the other. That's just too much. And there's a lot of blood. At some point, a boy was pulling other things out. Hard to explain that.

Somehow, though, I'm able to go back in time and make this better. I go back to a certain critical moment where I can ensure there are more nurses and doctors readily available. So then I'm not present for the actual labor - I believe this is when I end up on my boat ride with Marceu.

Also, at one point this island moves. Someone had to get to this island, so they decided to move the island to them instead. Sweet.

I was at Santa Barbara High School and I had just transferred back. I was sad because next year, my girlfriend Dakota would be at City College, but I would be at SBHS. I lived along the shore line near her dad's house.
THe next thing I remember, I was at the beach hanging out. I did this weird thing where I was laying on the sidewalk and started crawling forward. I thought it'd be a cool camera shot.
I walked to a somewhat large island and laid down. I walked away for a second, and when I came back, some guy and girl had taken my spot.
I said, "Hey, not cool man."
I sat down and we all started talking.
Suddenly, the island began to vibrate a little bit. It began moving as we were on it, and we started moving towards a big cliff. I looked behind us and there was a man sitting on some vehicle which must have been an island mover (obviously).
He stopped at the big cliff and he told us to all get off the island.
We hopped down and began to swim toward the cave that went upwards with a ladder. We had no light and I said that I was too low of a level to go up there, and I was going to die from the monsters. Two other guys went up there instead, and a few minutes later, came back down with a basket of rare items.
We got back on the island, which was now reduced to the size of a boogie board. We swam back to shore while I carried all the items in my inventory (goodness I am a nerd).
As we got to the store to sell stuff, the guy who went into the cave was suddenly a dog, which was his in-game character. He traded me, and my inventory screen popped up. I put in all the items and confirmed. I realized I forgot something so I tried to trade him back, but I couldn't figure out how.

WILD at 4 AM... successful!

I was in the ocean, which reminded me of the TOTY To kill jaws.

I wanted to waterbend again so I willed the water to start circling around me and then shoot me up. Right when I shot up into the air I made the water freeze, so I could have a platform to stand on.

I willed jaws to come and bang into the platform. The ice cracked. I looked down and saw a HUGE set of teeth with blood dripping on it.

I made ice shards come out of my hand and shot them directly into Jaw's mouth. More blood. I decided to use earthbending and make the ocean floor rise up below Jaws and trap him in an earth cage.

The color of the earth looked a little off. It was a greenish-brown. Jaws struggled to get free of the cage, when I had the most amazing idea ever.

I noticed the moon up in the sky and made it come racing down to Earth slamming into Jaws. I saw jaw's head go flying in one direction, while his body went flying in another. I got slammed back and started flying through the air, I was surprised I hadn't lost lucidity.

Everything went black, and I opened my eyes. I was still in the dream! Everything was yellow, and I was standing on an island. I could see bananas everywhere.

I grabbed one and tasted it. It was soft and...sour. Not like a real banana. Kind of tasted like ice cream. I walked along the beach looking for any DC, but I woke up.

Hello Everyone! Welcome to my second entry of my Dream Journal. I actually had a really vivid dream last night, and I think I'm really starting to improve on my recall so I hope you enjoy today's entry. This is probably my most vivid dream this month and me feeling a bit sick last night is probably why. (I find if you're sick, the vividness of your dreams increase). However, I was actually able to recall a lot of it today because my recent journaling and the fact that my mind is getting used to recalling dreams.

Anyways, I've made a list of some goals that I want to accomplish:

[ ] - Have a dream, in a dream, in a dream.
[ ] - Have a lucid dream.
[ ] - Create Buildings, have inspiration for my architectural works.
[ ] - Sit in a Paris café and make fruit explode everywhere. (+1 if you know the reference).
[ ] - Fly in an LD.
[ ] - Eat a sandwich on Mt. Everest.
[ ] - Start a Dream Riot.
[ ] - Have an LD watermelon.
[ ] - Chill on the moon.
[ ] - Get into a car chase in the middle of Amsterdam while driving a mini from "The Italian Job".
[ ] - Attempt to share a dream (no politics, just want to see what happens).
[ ] - Make dream time last longer. (Apparently possible )

Anyways, if anything gets accomplished I'll check it off here. I'll let you know in future posts if I've added anything.

- Cheers!

Dream 1
I am at an airport. Its completely empty and deserted. I walk around hardly noticing the fact that there isn't any people. I keep walking and I soon find myself in the terminal area. I look around and see a woman working behind the counter of a café. She looks at me and smilies,
"Can I get you anything?" I look at her and tell her I just want a glass of water. She quickly hands me a glass of water and I keep walking around the airport with a glass of water in my hands.

Yeah, so I basically stole that glass and never gave it back. I'm such a jerk in my dreams.

I keep walking and I see a place to sit. The roof is covered in glass to let sunlight in, unfortunately it was a cloudy day so it was quite dark. I sit down in an orange beach chair and fall asleep inside my dream.

Probably inspired from Schipol Airport in Amsterdam, where they have reclining beach chairs to sit down in, right in the middle of the airport. It looked very similar to this area in the airport.

Dream 2:
I then start to have a second dream, It's on the coast of an island. The borders which surround the beach and transition the beach area to the urban area seem familiar. They are stone archways with stone walls indented inside of them. The beach however on a sunny day would possibly be quite warm, however, today the beach was somewhat cold and windy. There were not many people here either and the people who are, are just taking a stroll on the beach. As I keep walking by the oceanside, with the water crashing under my feet, the terrain quickly changes into a rocky area. The terrain now is rocky and just below these very tall cliffs. I remember seeing seagulls perched on top of the rocks. When the waves crashed, the seagulls would move until the water was gone and land back on the rocks. They repeated this process over and over again. I kept walking along the rocks.

I was then woken up by my alarm clock.

During the beginning of the dream, I believe I was in some sort of church on an island, though I think there was a funeral on the lower floor, there was a room on the top floor that was meant for video games and gaming education. Though I am a huge gamer, the room seemed boring, though I would have been entertained by all the old games they had, like DOOM. Once that was over, I had lost a sandle, so I was told, that I was wearing, though I was looking at myself in a third-person view and I had both sandles on, which sempt somewhat confusing, though I then realised I was playing some sort of game and in real life (at least in the dream) I had lost a sandle. I ran out to find my character that I was looking at accompanied by three other people. One of them was my best friend in real life, while the other two just looked like random people. We then jumped in to this futuristic looking boat, that went quite fast, but it seemed as I had trouble getting the others to come into the boat with me, but I did eventually. As soon as the boat started moving, we were being chased down by a load of policemen and gang members who shot rapidly at us. We then hit a ramp that pointed us underwater, it was then that I closed my eyes and could only hear strange noises, which seemed to be accurate since I have aquaphobia in the ocean. We came back to the surface before soon crashing into an island with a single, yet poorly designed house on it. It was at this point that I got the strange idea that my family lived there. Once we exited the boat and got onto the island, I started hearing dialogue from the game Saints Row 2, that is when It came to me that the whole world had graphics like the ones in the game. The rest of the dream is somewhat unclear. I do remember meeting with my so-called family and finding my sandal , but that is about it.

12:00 AM

At a tiny bay just past a water inlet I stood at the grassy shore. Randy from work was there. A stone pillar about 2' wide barely poking out of the water was like a tiny island. On the top were symbols (something about matching symbols and clicking them) (something about cleaning the island)... Disks were being tossed in the water. I dove in to collect them (like at the pool with water rings). After collecting them the water level rose up from being low to high.

no attempts to MILD or WILD this time- i was too tired, as i was up very late. A more vivid dream this time, with something approaching a coherent (but by no means rational) story.

DREAM STARTS
It's my birthday again, and i'm on a long riverboat/houseboat-ey type thing- however, it seemed to be much larger than expected. The man who owned it was a tour guide, and he said he had to go, and asked me to cover for him. He quickly explained the controls, and left. People started boarding the ship for the tour, and I had to pilot the boat and give the tour, despite not knowing the area. We went past a few familiar locations, including the church near my college, despite the fact that it's about a mile away from the sea, and at least 2 miles away from any rivers.
When people had left, i opened a birthday card. It was from someone who I hadn't seen since i left high school. The card was an invitation; She said that her father owned an island off the south coast, and that we were welcome to go there as a holiday. After reading it, i looked out of the window. There are zombies running about on the bank, with a few tumbing into the water to try to reach the boat. We decide that the safest place would be the island, as it is isolated and sparsely populated. I then find myself in a supermarket, which i recognise as being the one near my mother's house, some 200 miles away. An employee walks up to me, and i recognise it to be an old friend i hadn't spoken to since he dropped out of college.
I then wake up on the island. The person who sent me the card, Jess, was standing there, telling me that the zombies were on the island. We retreated to a manorhouse surrounded by open fields, and suddenly i found myself in command of a medieval army- 'controlling' them in a similar manner to the Total War video games. I remember ordering spearmen to break a cavalry charge; the cavalry appeared to be the zombies riding giant boars. I woke up shortly after that.

DREAM ENDS

I'm noticing a bit of a trend of shop-related dreams. Although it's different shops, could that be a dreamsign?
Also, HOW i didn't realise i was dreaming i have NO idea... Clearly my grip on reality is tenuous at best..
