My Dream starts off with me and my friend (we'll say his name is Al) at my neighborhood community center. All of a sudden, Al saw a turtle (or tortoise, not completely sure), and proceeded to skateboard after it. The scene shifts.

I am at my house when another friend (we'll call her Ann) comes over. We simply hang out for what feelt like the entire day. I start to realize something's wrong.

"Come on," Ann said, pulling on my arm.

"Hold on, let me check something." I responded.

I try to push my fingers through my hand, with no success. So I pull out my phone. It reads 8:00. I turn it off and on again. 8:04. I try again. 7:00. I try yet again to make sure. A Korean sentence is displayed.

"I'm dreaming!" I shouted. Before I get to do anything cool, I have a false awakening into a cartoon world

I woke up pretty quickly, feeling disappointed in myself.

What I found really interesting about this dream was the sheer scale of the time dilation I experienced in my dream. I lived through a full day in there within a one or two hour nap. Also, it was my first lucid dream since I joined DV, which I think is cool. I'm kinda upset that my lucid dream was so abruptly ended right as I gained lucidity. Also mad that I was unable to regain lucidity in such a surreal, cartoony dream, right after a pretty realistic dream world. But that's also really interesting to me.

<awkward conclusion sentence>, SpaceGod.

I remember before I went to bed feeling my chakra energy really flowing and remember setting the intention to find out what really happened in the missing memory gap when I was very young.

As I went of to sleep, I found myself in control on my dream, but only on a certain setting, I couldn't manipulate the area of the place I was in, nor transport myself to another area, but I could manifest objects and people to a degree. I recognized that I was on Deep space 9 on the promenade. I decided since Ops is the central area to go there for answers, on my way I met with several of the the characters of the show referring to me as Ensign King as they passed me, I said good day to them and moved along I had met along the way to the lift Kira, Dax, and Odo. As I managed to get to the lift to ops I stated "OPS", and lift started to move but it did not go to ops it went to a habitat ring, I again repeated "OPS" but it still would not move, so I decided to take a walk around where it had brought me, Some of the rooms opened as I walked pass them, at first I thought nothing of it, then I felt I needed to see what was in them, I cant remember all of what I saw, but some had memories from my childhood, I remember seeing myself back in school, then brushing it off and moving along the corridor to next room as I got the door again the door opened but I saw a figure appear along the the corridor. A female person with brunette hair, I idmediately ran after her, I got to a door that had closed behind her tried to overwrite it, and thought, I not getting anywhere this way, so I crawled through the access panel tubes trying to go around and wound up in.... I loss the plot from this point on, I remember some more weird things happened from this point, but can't remember exactly what.

I was in a survivor challenge where you had to start a boat & race it but in one heat I was having trouble starting it. My opponent looked like one person but felt like another so I became lucid at this point. I turned that person into my ex-girlfriend Gail! I've never turned someone into someone else like this. I was still trying to win but I tried to cheat & have my husband start the boat ahead of time & was disqualified. But then I had a funny thought like "hey, maybe I could sell this engine on ebay!"

This was actually a dream from a few weeks ago, but I thought I'd journal it anyway since it was my first lucid:

I'm in my backyard by my pool, and my parents are yelling and raving at me for growing pot in my greenhouse. I walk away from them confused, because I've never even smoked pot in my entire life, much less grown it. I'm walking across my lawn to my greenhouse laughing, thinking to myself "I must be dreaming." BOOM, LUCID. I wanted to experience it before it all went away, so I did the first thing that came to my mind: flying. All I had to do was think about flying, and woosh I was in the air, flying over my greenhouse and trying not to fly into a tree. I went a little crazy with the lucid thing, since this was my FIRST lucid dream, because I wanted to try the whole "look at your palm and the world will collapse" thing, but instead of world-collapsing my vision started to blur and I thought I was losing it. I told myself to wake up.

It was a false wake up. If I can remember correctly, I was lucid as I recounted the whole dream to my sister: the accusations of growing pot, the lucidity, everything. When I actually did wake up, I wasn't sure if I actually HAD told my sister the dream, that's how aware I was even in the false wake up. I asked her if I had told her about a dream, and she said no.

D1: Lucid- I was in this luxurious house where I murder had been committed. There was a dead woman. I was consoling a friend that I don't know in my waking life but I became lucid & because I felt so connected to her I tried to find out more about her. She was hysterical. I was also looking around the room looking for hints of any kind due to the familiarity of the woman.... I woke up briefly due to a power surge in my home. My neighbors pulled down a power line which switched off our new central air & other electrical devices. I got up to pee & turn the our fans back on but came back to bed because I just thought it was a fluke surge.

D2: Lucid- I had just came back to bed & immediately started my dream state again. I was in a radio studio giving an interview with the same woman I felt I knew which made me intensively lucid because she was just in my last dream. It was about the murder & a house that burned down. I was confused about the house burning down. I had said something to my friend & to the listening viewers into the radio microphone. Suddenly I hear crying. I look next to me & my friend was now 2 chairs over & an older woman was between us & crying. I felt it was my fault & was apologizing to her because I was referring to my friend & was trying to tell this older woman this. My friend had her arm around this woman but I felt an overwhelming feeling of sadness & started to cry. I think she was the murdered woman. I woke up crying with a strong sense of grief.

D3: Lucid- I fell right back into the dream from an awake state so I started this dream lucid of course. The scene changed where I was standing behind a house & behind this house was one that was burned down. My friend was there again.... I started to utilize the state of the dream & said we should start to rebuild the house. I had started to use my mind to move some of the rubble to begin the building process. But my friend was saying we couldn't do this without a permit so we started a conversation about this when I was awakened again because of the electricity issue in real life. My son had come into my room. Hence my dream was over before I could finish the house project.



I spent the day using mnemonic method. Also a new visual of technique in particular that I've been doing over the last week where I look at myself in the mirror & close my eyes while holding the visual of my own face in the mirror.... I read you can only dream of people you have seen before in your waking life which in turn if you have not seen them in this lifetime they could be from a past life, alternate universe, duel reality, or parallel plane. If I was to take a guess to which this one would be it would be the parallel plane or duel reality...... I recently read a book that told of the "ether". It's what Buddhist's belief system & many other cultures who have a strong ability to astral travel talk of. I've also been doing the exercises to that allow you achieve such goal. It's a very interesting concept & my meditation practices are growing stronger due to these exercises.... I was able to achieve a number of techniques over this night which I'm really excited about.

Non-Lucid to Lucid: My family was going on a vacation on a big river or lake somewhere. There came this big rain & some of us had tents that were right next to the water & had to try to find other places to sleep. Things were just so surreal at this point so I knew I had to be dreaming & became lucid so knowing my family I wanted to see what else was to come that I could amp up on steroids through lucidty. But for now I was seeing where we were walking along & it was going well under the circumstances so I was just waiting for my "in". Then we were going down the dock on our way to get the the buffet that was supposed to be available but went right past it cuz it was just this one little cart. So we were disappointed. It was time to go look for other things to do but Mike called & ruined it!

Oddly enough it reminded me of another dream I had years ago on a lake. It just popped in my head & that was pretty cool in itself... I'd say this dream was probably about me being overwhelmed & wanting to do some positive things with my family where I don't have to think about the stressful things for a while. It's all about time management. But this weekend is about Mike. He needs to take a vacation day for himself & not just use them for shit that needs to get done so maybe next week or weekend. I also want to get back to doing a little wbtb stuff next week & hopefully some chaining. Setting an alarm helps a lot.... I also had a failed v-mild which I was using a mirror but not gonnna elaborate cuz it's a little personal.

1.I became conscious at the edge of anothers dream, behind me seemed dark and gloomy it was a portal from my dream into his, and as I looked off to the side it seemed like I was standing in a desolate city, I looked forward and saw large colorful wooden blocks set ontop of each other making a fence line for what I thought was the beginning of a kingdom and an archway. I walked throught the archway feeling like someone was there, looked down and saw stairs going off to the right so I walked down them, infront of me was junk like old vehicles and other things piled on to each other, I began to wonder where the other person was as I turned around he was standing there blue eyes, brown hair, with blue overalls. We spoke to each other metally I remember asking if I could stay and help him build and he said yes then he walked up the stairs I remember thinking how weird it was that his behavior was unscripted he did what he wanted to do, I didnt have control over his actions thats when I became aware that it was more than a dream. As he walked up the stairs I felt like I was going to be lonely I think he stopped and looked back at me reassuring me that he'd be back he just needed parts for a tv he was fixing...well I think thats what he was fixing and then he walked out. When I woke up I remember thinking I wanted to go back to dream with him, but that he wouldn't be there even if I did manage to go back there in a dream.This dream happened when I was 7.

D1: Nice vivid non-lucid- My aunt Jill, (who is 17 days older than me in real life) are living in this dorm like setting participating in a "Big Brother Dorm Edition" so there were camera's everywhere. Apparently I had missed a season on the show like it was a 4 part season but I had missed the last one for some reason & she wasn't happy w/ me about it but I'm not sure why I missed it. We were arguing about this right before a live competition while we were watching the first team go. They were in this Derby looking car & were being twisted & turned at a fast speed along electrical lines which looked really sketchy & being flung around with jerky motion. Someone got hurt somehow but it wasn't clear how or why... (Became lucid) I was still arguing with Jill about treating me like shit & she was defensive. I walked away & started practicing with Derrick Levasseur who was the winner of "Big Brother 16". Meesha woke me up while I was back arguing w/ Jill which sucked because I was lucid by this time trying to talk to her about real life issues. I woke up feeling like I wanted to talk to her but decided against it cuz it's a lost cause due to the fact that my grandmother "Crazy Daisy" lives w/ her which I don't like & Jill acted like a bitch the last time she was at my house about 10 yrs ago. At the time there was nothing wrong with my house but it was just modestly small. She took her baby outside in her van to change it like my bed wasn't good enough for her. It was so boldly rude. My house was clean & there was absolutely no reason for this. It makes my blood boil when ppl are like that, let alone family. In my opinion she can just go fuck herself.

D2: I was at some audition like I was some aspiring actress. Everything was funny about this. It was running lines & acting certain ways. Like some really fucked up version of "I Love Lucy" because it wasn't wholesome & the people were represented as intelligent but comedic. I was lying my ass off about my credentials & this woman there new it so she pulled me aside & told me I was going places but not as actress. She said she thought I could easily be a script writer. I was beginning to become lucid when Meesha woke me up but it was just too late.

Wow I'm pretty amazed because the least expected thing happened to me last night. I had two lucid dreams last night! I wasn't even expecting one! I'm so happy lol So let me tell you what happened in both of my dreams last night. The first one is bit long and confusing. Hopefully you don't get bored while reading it. (I'll explain why I wasn't expecting an LD later on)

First LD: I was at school, in my first period class, non lucid at all. I had an assignment on my desk like everyone else did so I completed it and turned it in. Before I went back to my desk, I did a reality check! I don't even know why though! Nothing weird was happening! The reality check I did was pinching my nose and breathing through it and it worked and I became lucid. I yelled at the other students that I'm dreaming, sort of rubbing it in their faces lol. So I walked out of the class room, into the hallway. (I should tell you now that my first period class is on the third floor of it's respective building) So started running down the hallway, and I jumped out the window hoping that I would fly. Although I didn't fly, I sort of floated down to the ground. While floating down I did a flip. Then I got the idea of trying to run at the speed of light. I guess I just sort of started running like normal, then I imagined myself getting lighter and lighter and it worked. I started running really fast around the school. I stopped running when I got to the old cafeteria. (There's two cafeterias at my school. The old one, and the new one.) I just sort of stood there watching people get their lunches. I wanted to see if something interesting would happen if I did nothing but it was totally normal. Then i went upstairs in the bell tower. (theres a building at my school called the bell tower and it's connected to the old cafeteria. bare with me lol) So on the second floor of the bell tower, There isn't really any walls. Just columns to hold the ceiling up, so you're able to see outside. So when I got to the second floor, I remember what Saizaphod told me about shooting lasers in lucid dreams, so I tried to shoot one by extending my arm and trying to imagine a laser coming out of my hand. Although it didn't work. I tried a second time but still nothing. So I just gave up on doing that, and realized that I should continue doing reality checks to keep the dream stabilized. So I breathed through my nose while pinching it again. Then I got the idea of trying to change the colors of objects. I heard it was a type of reality check but I thought it would be cool to do just for fun. So I saw three palm trees in the distance. One was green, and the other two were red. So I wanted to see if I could make the two red trees green. I just looked away and imagined that the two red trees turned green. When I looked back, I saw that they both went from red to green. So now I was looking at three green palm trees in the distance! So now I ran at the speed of light again back to the building where I jumped out of. I walked towards the bell tower again. Nothing crazy. Just simply walking. I wanted to see if anything interesting would happen. As I'm walking, I saw that it slowly turned into night time, and there were three kids walking behind me talking amongst themselves. I made it just outside the bell tower, but it was night time now. So I yelled "brighten" to the sky in hopes that it would turn to day time again. It didn't work and the three kids behind me asked me why I was yelling that. I turned around and told them that I was trying to make it day time. Then they started to laugh at me like I was an idiot. Getting annoyed by them, I walked up to the door the door of the bell tower, walked in, and shut it behind me, and told the dream to lock the door so these three kids won't come in. But that didn't work either. The three kids just walked right on in. At this point I wondered if I really was in a dream or not, so I pinched my nose and breathed through it again, and it worked. So I knew I was in a dream, but I was loosing control. In the bell tower, these three kids walked through another door and closed it behind them. I remember that I could change the dream scene by imagining another place and opening a door. I wanted to get away from these kids, so I imagined a museum full of paintings and mirrors. I wanted to see if I could hop into a painting or a mirror. So I opened the door, and it worked. I walked into a museum with mirrors and paintings all on the walls. However the three kids were in there joking and laughing. Now I was feeling discouraged. I didn't want to make myself look like an idiot while trying to jump into a painting in front of them, so I just walked up to different paintings and stuck my hand into them and it worked. It was pretty cool. It felt like I was putting my hand in water. I saw that my hand changed every time I dipped it into a painting to fit the style of it. Then I tried dipping my hand into a mirror. Again, it felt like I was putting my hand in water. However, my reflection did the same thing. I saw my reflections hand come out of the mirror as I put mine into the mirror. That was pretty cool. After I dipped my hand into that mirror, I saw that next to it, there was a door. It was an elevator door. I pressed the up button and I walked in and there were three men wearing suits. Then I started to loose lucidity. So the last few seconds of the dream was non lucid and we were basically standing there and waiting for the elevator to go to the next floor. Before we got to the next door, I woke up.

Sorry about the length of the first dream. And sorry if it was confusing. My school's campus is a little hard to explain lol So after I woke up, I wrote my dream down, and I fell back to sleep again, into my next lucid dream. This one is way shorter and less complex.

Second LD: I was in my neighborhood with my sister. I was non lucid at this point. We were both walking our dogs together. Then my sister hands me the leash to her dog, and runs away for some reason. I looked in the direction of where she ran to, and she was gone. But I did see this blue scooter driving past me on the road. However, there was no one driving the scooter. It was driving all by it's self. So I took both leashes into one hand, and with the other, I pinched my nose, and I tried breathing through it, and it worked. I couldn't believe I was back in another lucid dream. Although, I got so excited about being in another lucid dream, that I woke myself up by accident

So that's how both lucid dreams went last night. Now here's why I wasn't expecting any lucid dreams at all. I've gotten REALLY lazy when it comes to lucid dreaming. Recently I've only been doing about one or two reality checks a day, and I don't even write down as much details in my dream journal any more. For example, when I wake up every morning, I write down notes of what happened in the dream, then I procrastinate writing down the details all day, Then at the end of the day, I just go to bed like normal without writing down the details of the dream. So even though it's really cool that I had two lucid dreams last night, I have no idea why! I've barely put any effort into lucid dreaming recently. I didn't even try any methods last night! No MILD, WILD, WBTB, nothing. (well I did wake up from my first lucid dream then fell asleep again into another lucid dream, but I did that by accident) I simply went to bed like normal. Another thing I don't understand is that recently I've only been writing down notes of my dreams right? Shouldn't my dream recall go down? I still remember every single dream I have every night in full detail.

Anyways, those two lucid dreams were kind of a pleasant surprise! Replies would be appreciated. Also, if anyone could, please explain to me why I had two lucid dreams last night when I've put little to no effort into lucid dreaming recently lol Thanks for reading this long ass essay!

This dream partially overlapped with reality, as if I was in the early stages of a WILD - but I wasn't lucid. I saw a town. I recall some kind of device around my arm, and an application that reminded me of Facebook, or a dating app, telling me it suggested a nearby café for some reason. Only vague flashes remain of this bit. Then, I was in my bed (overlap with reality part starts here) and looked to my left through the open door of my bedroom. I saw a very creepy little girl dressed in red approach. I couldn't see her face. She looked a lot like Alma from the game FEAR. I was almost frozen in fear. At some point I decided I couldn't just lie there and let whatever happen, so I conquered my fear and jumped out of bed. I thought about getting one of my guns, and closing and locking the door. Sadly she was already in my room, walking by the bed to the other side. The rush of adrenaline I felt when I got out of the bed woke me up.

This dream featured gameplay of the game Fury³, a very old Microsoft game from 1995. My view was the camera of the ship. I flew around Terran, the first planet. My objective was to blow up some kind of tower. I fired on it, but it wouldn't blow up yet. I flew up, then dived down for another volley. Another target (or the same one?) also flailed to blow up. It took off (it was a big ship) and flew off. Having failed to destroy it, I expected to fail the game, but I think I got assigned a new target instead.

It started in a small room. It was a long time ago, possible early 20th century, or even late 19th century. A couple of men were showing their refrigerators (I know, random). They said it ran on 500 Watts of power. I had my refrigerator with me, a modern one (their was ancient, they were from the late 1800's after all), and said it ran on 2000 Watts. They got suspicious as mine looked way too "futuristic" to them. I was from the future, so their suspicion was justified. At some point I was apprehended by a Nazi. Gestapo, or SS. *Racism warning*. He called me a "nigger" and ordered me to come with him. I tried to reason with the creep, saying I was clearly white, but he would not listen. Some other guy, also a Nazi (except I had known this guy for longer, apparently) had to take me in. We walked through a large, crowded corridor. I begged him to look the other way for a moment so I could get away. He used to be a friend, I think. I managed to escape onto a small town square, then flee between two houses. The place looked pretty old and Mediterranean. I heard a Nazi scream something, and felt a whole horde of the bastards chasing me. I was running on the street, when I felt myself being lifted up from the ground. I started to fly. I wasn't freaked out by this, even though it was my first time (in this dream's continuity). I didn't mind, I knew they would never catch me at that speed. I wasn't very good at steering yet, and I felt I couldn't avoid hitting the houses on the other side of the street. I plunged right through the window of a café, past two people who were trying to enjoy their coffee. Despite not *really* remembering my previous flying experiences, I remembered I had always had trouble NOT flying into buildings and decided a different approach. I would *let it* happen, and see what happens. By ignoring the buildings and not worrying about what would happen, I phased right through them. I could "become solid" mid-flight and burst through walls/glass/whatever, which was cool. When I was out of the houses again, I gained altitude again and looked out over the town. I felt invincible. I wanted revenge on the Nazi's. I didn't care about their puny bullets anymore. I'd rip 'em apart with my bare hands, or use TK. I knew the school (the place I escaped from was a school, apparently) was to my left, so I tried to turn left while imagining the place to create it. I think I was lucid at this point. I probably gained lucidity at around the point I started flying. Sadly, I instantly woke up the moment I tried this.

Final flash before I called it a night: someone was doing some kind of job (on a large wall?), and I was scratching rust off of my car.

28/6/16
Dream 1: I was living in like a dystopian alternate universe where peoples freedom of movement and expression was heavily restricted. I was part of a rebel group and secretly ferried people to and from meetings. It was early morning and I was waiting in a café when my client came in. We made eye contact and understood eachother then we both left at slightly different times to not arouse suspicion. We both hopped into my car and I started driving her through the city, talking with her about stuff.

Dream 2: I was playing in a tennis tournament against Maria Sharapova, I think I had won a competition to do so. Obviously she trounced me, however I had one amazing rally where I hit a drop shot which she returned but I smashed down the line to beat her. Everyone was really impressed with that and I was pretty chuffed myself.

Unintentional WBTB

Fragment: I was farming mobs in firecat alley.

Dream 3: I was playing in a competitive dota team. It was a best of 3 and I think my team had lost the first game however we were doing well in the second.

Dream 4: I was playing a Mario-esque platformer game against my brother. We were both taking it very competitively and it got pretty heated as we tried to beat each other.

Fragment: I was at home doing something.

Dream 5: I was on Sydney road working. There was a big building which had a huge vine over the front which had giant caterpillars within. It was my job to spray for those caterpillars and capture any I found. After a while of this I went into a shopping area to get some food. I stumbled across a girl from high school who was working in the café. She walked out with me for a bit but said she had to get back to work so we said goodbye. As I walked along the street I saw two other guys from high school who insinuated that I had been on a date with the girl. I denied it and then asked them what was going on. As this happens I start feeling a bit lucid and try putting my fingers through my palm, it works! I feel like I am about to wake up so I do another reality check, counting my fingers, and then shoot out some fire from my hand to see if I can. It feels real enough, although not as present as some of my other lucids. I then wonder what to do, and remember I wanted to ask my dream guide what my true name was just to see what the answer would be. I ask this question aloud and suddenly, an impossibly deep, rumbling voice from within me speaks slowly and deliberately. "MMM'SSOOORRIII MMOOORRAAAHH" (Or something like that I couldn't remember it 100% when I woke up). I was taken aback by the power of the voice and the name resonated within me for a while, as if the voice I just heard was echoing throughout my skull. I then thought I had woken up, and began trying to recall my dreams and write them down, however it was a false awakening (doh) and so when I woke up properly my recall has suffered a bit.

On a side note The voice and presence seemed ever so slightly malevolent, or rather just scary because of its extreme power, and reminds me of the dark presence imitating Sivason's avatar when in my last lucid I called out for my dream guide. Both of these entities were extremely, overwhelmingly powerful and huge, dark presences, so maybe they are the same thing and it is my dream guide. Hopefully in future dreams this becomes clearer and I can start a relationship with it.

I was entering an auditorium for some kind of job-related announcement/seminar. Donald Trump is there. The crowd was told that they can’t stay unless they are wearing a certain kind of shoes or attire. I looked down to see I am wearing a pair of strange high-top black with white markings canvas tennis shoes. I had to leave. Someone tells me I should have worn my silver shoes and I feel irritated by this remark.

I went to my apartment, which is similar to an apartment I rented in waking life over 10 years ago. My mom was there, she tells me that Donald Trump has bought the company I work for. I told her he did not, I don’t even work for a company, I work for one woman who calls herself a company. My mom laughs at me, telling me Im wrong. The way she is treating me made me angry. I asked her where are her facts?! And she sort of went catatonic, looking off to here right, not acknowledging me. I yelled at her but Im confused why she isn’t answering me now. Then I realized I was dreaming. I still felt angry so I pushed her and then I decided I was going to through the television out of the window. We were on the 2nd floor, but since I knew I was dreaming i knew there would be no consequences. I did this, and then I left. I was outside on the drive with my dog and I decided to fly. (ho, hum) I had my dog under my left arm and I was holding sandals in my right hand. Once I was floating I realized I didn’t need to hold onto my sandals and I could let my dog to the ground as well. I thought about running with my dog too. The outside of the apartment and the street are almost identical to the apartment I rented over 10 years ago. (#4) My husband wakes me up to tell me he is leaving for work.

Thoughts:
This apartment seems to be an important location. In waking life I lived tree for only a year. When I moved in things were great- I was dating a new guy, I had just started a career I loved, I could pay my bills and I had friends that I went out with regularly. Over the year that I lived there my drinking became out of control, my closest friendship enabled my bad habits. We were robbed together at gunpoint down the street from this apartment while walking to a nearby shopping center. I starting dating a drug-addicted-sociopathic-compulsive liar. I lost more than one good friend and a good job. I ended up moving out of the place and into the house that my crazy partner lived in with some friends. This was the beginning of one of the roughest periods of my life, but that ended up teaching me a lot of valuable lessons. Maybe the apartment symbolizes a transitional period between good and bad?
The dreams where family members hate me or treat me horribly are so common now that I have decided to really focus on becoming lucid in these moments. Instead of throwing things out of a window and flying off though I would like to do something else. Something to break this cycle. Maybe just tell them I love them?
Shoes were a theme in this dream too. I guess they must symbolize how I feel about myself compared to others.? And how dare Trump invade my dreams!

I was at a mechanics to get my car fixed. A song came on the radio (some old R&B or funk song) that I liked, and I felt happy. I told someone that my Dad used to love this song. I started flowing around the parking lot. Realized I was dreaming and became lucid. I flew into the sky and saw 3 blue jays flying near me. I decided to fly next to them, but one of them looked wary of me so I sped up and flew really fast towards the mountains in the distance. I was high up, and there were clouds, and it was beautiful. I landed on the highest peak of the mountain, and I discovered a small room just inside of the rock I landed on. It had a small branch carved into the stone and an olive-green cushion to make the seat more comfortable. There were 2 windows carved into the stone as well, and I looked back out towards the area I flew from.

As I climbed down I lost lucidity. I walked past a house that was partially open (missing outside walls) and I saw an area with lots of shelves and interesting [nature-based?] art. All I can really remember about these objects is that I saw leaves and wood.

I needed to take a shower before a road trip. I had trouble deciding which shower I would use. I knew I had hours until I needed to leave so there was no rush.

I was living in an apartment complex and driving home through the parking lot. I knew I needed to pay my rent but the office was closed. I saw who I thought was the office manager outside talking to another person and I briefly thought maybe I would just walk down and pay the rent to her. But when I parked near the office I saw that there were designated slots to put your rent check in after hours and I decided I would do that. My last name was completely different than my maiden or married name: Polley. First name was the same.

Thoughts:
I have no idea. I have been getting good sleep the last few nights. The lucid dream wasn’t the most lucid I’ve been. I will have to think about these for a while.

I had two interesting things happen last night. First, I think I had a lucid dream during non REM sleep. Second, I had another dream character persist over multiple dreams in a single night! I went to bed at 1:15am so I was pretty suprised that I woke up from my first dream at only 2:00am. Maybe that point me in a different state of mind that was suitable for persistent dreams.

Non REM ShenanigansNREM LUCID?

NON-LUCID LUCID OTHER

I spontaneously realize I am in between falling asleep and forming a dream so I think I should try and form one my self. I don't realize I barely went to bed less than an hour ago. I claw at the ground and feel the carpet from my home. I still can't see anything though. I keep experiencing different visuals and feelings but hold my consciousness long enough until I am able walk around and see something. It is still dark though. I am outside a museum with my girlfriend on a moonless night. We are sitting on the steps eating a bento box. She starts smoking a long cigarette and I tell her that's not very healthy. It isn't like her at all which reminds me that this is a dream. I stand up and walk up the steps. The greeter lady at the door agrees that smoking isn't healthy. I go through the door and imagine myself at home. I am in my bedroom but it is still dark. I flip the lightswitch but nothing happens. I say "light up" but nothing happens. I can't seem to get much light into this dream and wake up.

Androx The Space Cat Part 1NON-LUCID

NON-LUCID LUCID OTHER

I am in my hometown and find a little white kitten with very large ears stranded on the road. I take it home and show my sister. She thinks I should keep it and I decide to raise it. While I am alone in my room with the cat it starts talking to me in English! It has the voice of a little boy. I am suprised and ask it if it is a magical cat. The kitten floats up in the air while he explains that he is a space cat that is suppose to help protect the universe from evil. His body becomes a window into a vibrant scene of space. He tells me that he can teleport to anywhere in the universe at will. I think this cat is going to be very interesting to have around on my dream adventures but I don't become lucid. I don't really remember much else from this conversation. I know that the cat has sort off accepted me as his owner. It is sort of like an outdoor cat in that he isn't always around, he could be anywhere, but he come back and even follows me back to my apartment in Los Angeles.

After I woke up I wrote down some notes and must have went back to sleep thinking about the cat because he showed up in my next dream the same morning!

Androx The Space Cat Part 2NON-LUCID

NON-LUCID LUCID OTHER

I am in Arizona with my dad and sister for some reason. We are outside of some cabin and I want to go back inside but there are a bunch of snakes in the way. My dad and sister follow the trail the opposite direction and I am on my own. I am suddenly teleported back to my parents house in my hometown and the space kitten is there. I suppose it is the kitten that teleported me. I feel bad that I am having a hard time remember his name even though I know I must have asked it in the previous dream. (I'm still not lucid even though I know I met the cat in a dream) I start to remember that it started with an A. "I'm sorry but what is your name again?", I ask. He replies, "Don't worry about it. My name is Androx." "That's right. I remember now." I say and I remember writing down that name even although it isn't in my notes. I make sure to remember that name now because I feel like Androx will show up again. Androx says, "Matthew, I need your help fighting evil witches. Are you up for the challenge? I know that you already have powers but I am willing to give you even more new powers if you work with me." I think it sounds pretty cool but I am a bit skeptical since I only just met this cat. I ask him how should I know that witches are evil since I have only met good witches in my dreams. Androx explains that witches are beings filled with magical energy but not all of them are evil. A few of them are good or neutral and may be willing to help me. I notice that my niece and nephew are unconscious and seemingly being given a similar vision by Androx. I tell Androx to leave my family out of it to pretend like his is a regular cat except for to me. He says that he wants to give them powers too but agrees to hide his true nature at least for now. I notice that there is some sort of obnoxious main menu for a video game on the TV but can't figure out how to turn it off. This distracts me for a while and the dream moves to me being at a county fair until I wake up.

I am pretty sure Androx showed up for a moment in a later dream but didn't play a roll in the plot. I think it is interesting that now I am better at chaining non lucid dream plots between different dreams. I should definitely talk to Androx in a lucid dream and figure out what he is all about. I am going to be a bit cautious because I recently watched Madoka Magica and feel like he is a bit inspired by Kyuube. Especially because of his voice and the whole witches thing. However, I think he is also inspired by Luna from Sailor Moon and the cat from Gab's avatar so I don't think I have to much to worry about.

It seems like witches and magical cats are an important part of my dream world. This goes all the way back to when I asked a witch lady to be my dream guide. She also had a talking cat but he was black and fully grown. She only has shown up for a short moments without actually doing anything. Apparently she is to busy fighting an evil witch that is her nemesis. I have also seen a witch a few times in all white with wings that reminds me of Glenda the Good Witch. She uses healing magic. Gandalf has shown up a lot too but I guess he is a wizard and not a witch. It is sort of like how in a show or game you can tell what feels like a main story and what feels like side stuff and everything with witches has felt like main story. It is interesting that in Sensei's dream world witches are all evil while so far in mine they are all good.

Bedtime: 11:00 pm
WBTB: 3:30 am
Technique: mantra (Is this a dream?), counting
Notes: This dream occurred between 7 and 7:30 am, after multiple wake-ups throughout the morning

I am working at Blumac's (a bar I worked at years ago). I committed to one night just for fun, but I realize the owner put me back on the schedule 4-5 days a week. I am worried I can't handle that kind of schedule anymore since I'm out of shape, and really might be too old for this now. I greet Michelle in the dressing room and realize she is older than me and looks amazing, so maybe I can do this for a little while to earn some extra money. I decide to stay, but I don't want to work Friday or Saturday nights, or double shifts. I ask one of the other girls if she would like my Friday shift and she agrees.

I return for my second shift. I overhear the other girls talking about money, and realize that I handled my tips incorrectly the night before. I put my money in my makeup bag instead of giving it to the DJ, so I didn't pay the DJ or bouncer last night. I feel bad. I start digging through my bag to count my money and notice there is a lot more than I thought. Suddenly I realize in horror that I am looking through the wrong bag. I feel horribly embarrassed and worry that someone might think I'm trying to rob her. Thankfully no one sees me, so I sit down to relax again and sort through my clothes. I contemplate getting a trunk for my clothes again instead of dealing with this messy gym bag.

I suddenly remember to look at the RC tattoo on my arm. I fully expect to see the word "Dream" written there, but when I look I see only a P and another partial letter. I stare at it, dumbfounded for a minute, then become fully lucid. I stand up, excited, and look around the room to see how stable the dream is. Everything is solid, and I move easily. I realize this is the highest level of lucidity I've had in over a year! I decide to glide instead of walk. I glide easily across the room and out the door. As I enter the next room, I notice things are hazy, like I am not wearing my contacts. I decide to keep moving, hoping things will clear up because I'm concerned about waking myself if I try to adjust the light. I decide to go outside, hoping the light will clear up naturally out there. I see a door to the patio and decide to walk right through the solid wood. It works! The dream is much clearer outside. The sky is blue and the weather is pleasant. I see a large brown dog across the yard. When it sees me it gets up and runs my direction. It appears to be very friendly and curious. I notice there is something odd about it's jaw, so I try to look closer.....then BEEEEEP! Damn alarm work me up!
