#257 - DEILD - 8:46AM I am in Best Buy looking for something to organize all my video game console stuff. The store is a mess and it look like they are totally rearranging everything. I assume they are taking all their holiday displays and promotions down and getting ready for the new year. As I walk around looking for what I want trying to avoid over helpful employees, I notice someone keeps turning segments of lights off and on. It becomes annoying and disorienting. I find a section with PS3 and XBOX 360 moded cases for sale. I wonder when they started promoting modding but shrug it off. I guess with the new consoles out they don't worry about it so much with the older gen systems. They light shut off and on again and some guy in front of me gets really annoyed. I look around to see who the hell is doing it. There is a section of wall with panels missing and a large amount of wires and electronic circuit boards. I find it odd but over look it. Past that there is a guy looking something like a large breaker box. I assume he's messing with the lights for whatever reason. Feeling annoyed with the whole experience I decide to leave and go to Wal-Mart. The dream changes and I am at home playing GTA5. After loading I see Franklin in the fighter jet. I think it's really cool they start me off like this and I fly around doing impossible maneuvers. I decide to take in the visuals for the next time I am dreaming. I think this will help me with my lucid flying. (IRONY) As I do I become more immersed in the game and begin to feel G forces on my body. My fly is less like the F15 and more like superman. I enjoy this for a moment but some strange looking helicopters begin to attack me. I shoot back but the copters fly away as my missiles follow. I decide I don’t want to mess with it so I fly the other direction. I notice a strange meter the show I am out of fuel. I try to get some more altitude to parachute out and hit some power lines. Electricity sparks and the plane goes out of control but I manage to get past it. I push a button on the controller and Franklin bails. He's falling too fast so I go ahead and push another button and the chute opens. As he is gliding down some electronic weapon hits him from behind and electrocutes him. I hear a loud voice say, "YOU ARE IN A RESTRICTED AREA. WEAPONS TESTING." Franklin falls the rest of the way next to some power station. He receives more electric shocks as soldiers surround him. I wake up feeling pissed that I missed the connection to dreaming while I was flying. I lay still to DEILD and immediately find myself in my dream body. There are no vibes this time so I question it. I figure I may as well try moving and sure enough I am in control of my dream body. I am blind but I feel my way outside and then pause. I focus on opening my eye and seeing. I tell myself it is daytime and I get flashes of vision. It feels warm and looks like late spring. Dark red flowers are in full bloom and covering everything. The trees along my street have giant red flowers and even some the houses have them on the roofs. As my vision gradually become more stable I hear the ambient sounds of birds chirping. I am now hovering in my yard and I realize I am just in my underwear. I get an overwhelming need to feel free from societal rules and take my underwear off. The physical feeling of the act becomes completely realistic. I even feel a cool refreshing breeze on my private parts. I the last dream make me want to fly so I go for it. I have trouble controlling myself and my vision is still a little wonky. I grab on to the tree in my yard as I float up and use to propel myself higher. It helps but its not good enough so I make one huge downward stroke with both arms as if I am swimming and trying for the surface. This works but work a little too well. I watch the ground drop away. The trees grow smaller and start to look like a blanket of green carpet then fades to a momentary darkness. I look forward and find myself in low orbit. I have a clear picture of the Earth's upper atmosphere as the sun begins to rise. I feel victorious and free. I close my eyes and relax my body enjoying the weightlessness of space. (I was doing that already but whatever) After a moment I decide it's time to try a little more controlled flight back down. I stroke both arm upward as if swimming down. I instantly become engulfed in clear blue cloudless sky. This is no ground and I can't see to find up or down. I doesn't bother me. I just know that I need to focus on seeing the ground. But before I can I start to hear my older daughter laughing and acting really silly. This causes and FA but I remain lucid. At first I wonder if I am really hearing her but quickly remember this isn't my weekend. It seems like she in lying next to me in a really large bed. I feel really annoyed that this interrupted my flying so I reach out and lightly punch her in the leg. In an annoyed tone, I say, "You're not even here." Then, I get a confuse image of a sneaker in my bed and then darkness. I decide to wake up.

#256 - DILD - 4:35AM I am at work in the cubicles. For some reason I can't clock in and my badge is inactive. I ask my boss what’s going on but she doesn’t seem to know. I wonder if I am fired and refuse to do any work until this is sorted out. I feel somewhat happy to be free from work but I also wonder where my money will come from. I think I should go to the union and talk to them about all of this; There's no reason I should be fired. I picture myself outside the Area Managers office protesting. Suddenly I am out in the parking lot looking at the windows of the front offices. I realize I am in the back seat of a car with some unknown people. It begins to rain heavily outside. I look around and see a telephone pole still upright in the ground, but moving along the pavement though the wires are still attached. This is so bizarre that I become lucid. I say to the people in the car, "What the heck? Is that really happening?" Some guy in the car says, "It's just... [something]" I do a nose plug and blow through but it seems weak. I try several times until I am convinced enough. I jump out of the car running around yelling, "I AM DREAMING!" However, I still have my doubts so I do another nose plug, this time, with both thumbs in my nostrils. I am shocked when my breath is blocked. Felling embarrassed, I jump back in the car. I say to the people, "May be not." Now it starts to flood but only in the parking lot. The car floats like a boat but I don't expect it last long. After a moment I realize this is impossible and become lucid again. I don't get out this time and just go with the ride. The water is now so deep that there are waves like I am out in the middle of the ocean but the flood waters are still contained with in the parking lot. The driver takes us around in the boat/car. I think the whole think is just silly and I begin to make fun of the car. I say sarcastic stuff like, "Oh look. It's a car that floats" and "I really like the propulsion system in this" and "This is real nice, Clark." I suddenly feel hot and and enclosed and wish we could roll down the windows. The guy in the front passenger seat says something about rolling a window down, but I tell him I am afraid the car will sink if we do. We putt around to our starting point then, down the edge of the water in a steep slope, and back on the pavement. I wake up.
