Finally -- Advanced Task of the Month!

Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

Lucid #87: The Diamond

I'm driving somewhere in California, preparing to merge onto the freeway. Some guy in a Hummer blocks me from merging in, though, even steering his behemoth vehicle toward me so that I have to run off the road. I wind up on some semi-abandoned, crumbling old road, following one other car. The road's filled with enormous potholes and huge slabs of the road jut up at crazy angles. The other driver and I steer carefully around these chunks as best we can and I'm very worried that I'll break an axle. I think that this is all cause by California's ever-present budget woes.

The road ends at a marina but the other car has vanished. I get out of the car and sit by a wooden railing, pouting about my problems. As I look down at the water, I see a little girl crash a jet-ski into a dock, fly over the handlebars, perform three perfect back hand-springs, and walk off as if nothing has happened. I'm impressed by her athleticism and very relieved that she wasn't hurt.

There are narrow wooden walkways leading in a couple of different directions, but none of them are wide enough to fit a car. I need to keep driving but I don't want to leave my car here. I think that if this was a dream, I'd just go jack one, Grand Theft Auto-style. This thought makes me critically question reality and I realize that I'm dreaming!

I leap to my feet and take flight, soaring high enough to see the top of a nearby apartment building. There's a huge pool party on the roof of this building, lots of DCs milling around, and I decide to check it out. I discard the "Great Wall of China" Task of the Year for now and decide that I'll do the "make a diamond out of coal" Advanced Task of the Month.

I look for the DC who seems most in charge and central to the storyline of this party scene. A girl that's seated in a beach chair nearby seems to be the focal point of the scene. She's mid-20s, black, very cute, and three or four of her girlfriends stand deferentially around her as they all talk. While it's not an exact match, I notice that she looks a bit like Stacey Dash.



As I walk up to pseudo-Stacey, she and her friends turn to look at me. I say, "I'm going to give you a diamond." One of her buddies, a brunette holding a slender glass of what looks like champagne, laughs at this.

"Are you serious?" asks "Stacey".

"Totally serious," I say. "It's for a task. You just need to hand me that lump of coal that you're carrying around."

"Sure, take it!" she says, handing me a peach-sized lump of coal. Whew, glad that worked, I think to myself. Stacey and her friends watch me, intrigued. I give the coal one quick squeeze, imagining that it immediately feels sharp and hard like a diamond. I open my hand and yes it's a diamond! There are some lumps of dusty black coal-crap on it, but I quickly brush them away, revealing a sparkling, golf ball-sized, round cut diamond.

Her friends murmur appreciatively and I hand Stacey the diamond. "Aww, it's so nice!" she says, smiling appreciatively. She holds it up to the sunlight to admire it then stands up and approaches me. "Hey, will you help me out with a question that I had?" she asks.

"Sure. What's up?" I'm very intrigued about what her question is.

"What's the difference between..." she begins, pointing toward herself and circling her finger as if to indicate "me" or "all of me". Her voice trails off and I quickly wind up in the void. The excitement of TotM and the anticipation of the question get me too wound up, though, and I wake up before I can use the void to travel anywhere.

I buckle down for DEILD but I feel like I'm not going to fall back asleep. I try to really let go, and after waiting for a bit, I slip back into a non-lucid dream: "Stacey" is in a dark, wood-panelled office, seated across from a severe-looking woman in her 50s. Stacey is visibly upset and says, "You have no right hire someone else to ghost write my story! How can you do this to me?"

The lady, who I think is her publicist, is unsympathetic. "Not everything is about you." I wake up.

Dream recall from today's nap.

I was at home, i was discussing something with family and there were doors from my room, that apparently were leading into rooms inhabited by some bandits. I was opening doors and shooting bandits down using some gun, then was back to talking with family, and back to cleaning out another room. That repeated a few times.
I was tired and everyone had to sleep in same room, and there was random horse with us apparently, and it was distracting my sleep so i went to check out the other door. Bandits there were more aggressive and i got hit before i could shoot them all down. I take a look at what supposed to be wound, but there's metal, i realized that i was a cyborg of some kind. With that in mind i manage to move out three metallic claws out of my hand and i finish off the bandits. I spend some time playing around with the devices i got, moving them in and out of my hands. Not only i had claws in the right hand, but also there was blade in the left hand. I also managed to make my skin semi-transparent so i could see all sorts of electronics below it.
I decided to check another door and bandits became even more aggressive, one rushed me straight with a knife, hitting me alot and making me back out. Suddenly we were on an small wooden bridge, in the sky. I was annoyed and when bandit hit me again i grabbed him right by the knife, pulled him towards myself while moving out my blade and then started repeatedly hitting his neck with blade till he was fully decapitated. For whatever reason an working helicopter blade came out of the top of his head and it flied up into the sky( ). Shortly, another bandit attacked me from behind, but out of nowhere i got some kind of weird miniature gun in my right hand. As he got close i grabbed him and fired the weapon. In a split second, everything where i directed the gun was in holes, projectiles pierced everything, and that included my leg due to how i aimed it, didn't expected it to be that powerful, but i was obviously perfectly fine. Suddenly i remembered that this gun is that one gun that can pierce absolutely everything and that can tear whole dimension in half, and that it was a good thing that i have only pressed the trigger and didn't hold it...
I walked the skybridge and found a door, through it i was back at home, which now apparently was on tropical island. There was big party and after it i was trying to figure out more about stuff that i could do. Then suddenly some dude wants me to participate in some kind of 'cyborg show', i agree. But as we arrive in the room, i realize that it was not the kind of show i was thinking about, but before i can do anything he uses some makeup and makes me look like someone who only pretends to be a cyborg and who's really bad at this pretending, while saying that it'll make me look more intimidating ( ). I try to do something but i have trouble operating the weapons for some reason. In the reflection, i notice that i have two sets of metallic teeth. Then dream ends.

Angie is a friend of mine whom I have not seen in person since we were eightteen, and we really were close friend when we were sixteen. She lives in Europe, I live in the US. We are Facebook friends.

In my dream I had been invited to Angie's birthday party, and was eager to go. However, I kept getting confused: when is the party? Is it today or tomorrow? Check on phone. Tomorrow. When is it? Am I in the car now because I am driving there? If so, I don't have a present. No, the party is on Friday, and today is Thursday (in my dream).

Will I even need to drive there? Couldn't I just walk? But it will be late at night, and the party is barely walking distence. Could my mother drive me there? As long as she stays in the car: it would be awkward if she came in, unlike for that other party of another friend where that was ok.

I am not entirely sure whether I was an adult or a teen in this dream. I think it may have switched from adult to teen in mid-dream.

I was not aware not even a bit, even though with all that confusion I should have questioned that something was wrong. I kept not remembering from one moment to the next when that party will be. When I thought of walking at night, I briefly visualized that, too, but it did not raise any weirdness flags. The dream was quite vivid however. A prime example that vividness and awareness are so separate.

I invited a few friends to my house. One of them lives in north Jersey, the other two I know from a gardening group that I used to be involved in. The gardening people came but the guy quickly left. I was at the house where I grew up. Me and the girl were sitting on the couch. I was offering her beer and coffee but she just wanted water. I was worried that I was boring her because I couldn't keep a compelling convo going. We were sitting with butts touching though on the couch watching tv. Later I went to the fridge to get some food and then I called NM, my friend from No Jers. He answered and said he wouldn't make it. I told him I was mad at him but that I wouldn't hold that anger for that long and it was okay. Next, my landlord called and told me that I couldn't have a party at the house. I told her in strong voice that I wasn't having a party and that she can't regulate that. Suddenly, a party of like 50 people arrived, most were from my high school. I was thrilled about this. The venue became a hybrid of the house I grew up in, my uncle's basement, and the house I currently live in. I saw a guy from my tennis team, CP and we were thrilled to see each other. The party was coming to an end early and I went to see my gf who was doing homework upstairs. There were no partiers upstairs. We slept in a different bed.

I a different dream, I left work with my co-worker MB. We went to a perfume shop, though both of us thought it would be lame. It wasn't. They had all sorts of scents, condoms, and cds. All these homeless people kept coming in and talking to the woman at the register. This homeless guy who I always avoid in town came in and I got angry but the woman was friendly toward him. When we left we saw another co-worker KY. She was drawing or something. There were some people nearby outside of their cars and they were talking about directions. They were headed to the All Good Music Festival. KY had a gps in her car and she went to get it so that she could give them directions. They were a mix of people reminiscent of some people I once met 10 years ago, with one token crazy hippy who said something hilarious (to us) that all of his fellow travelers were annoyed at.

In another dream I went on some kind of hike.

Finally found time to type this.
Dream recall from naps, or rather a nap. Fragmented and mostly low-medium detail due to dream-time length, it was at least a number of days of time or even a week, i am not sure, my dream recall was not prepared for that.
Also i got lucid at one point for a short period of time, but haven't recalled almost anything about waking life so was just going with dream's storyline. Also this makes my 50th lucid dream on count.

I was living is some other world with family, it was flat, i was in some town and there were farmlands all around. I was busy with something that day until at the night we were surprised to find that there a group of people appeared in the town, who were partly-human and partly-some kind of animal. Everyone quickly became friends with them and the next day(or a few days, not sure) we had fun doing random things including adventuring into some kind of jungle, using some kind of subway system, eating weird food, from which i recall some alive pudding that had to be stomped before eating and there was some background music to that. Also we have found a trio of some cartoonish ghosts who settled in one of the houses in town, they were friendly.
Then during adventuring on the next day we discovered some cave and apparently accidentally freed some sort of 'evil flies', though we did not know about that. Next day we have seen that a swarm of those 'evil flies' were heading for the jungle, there were 'guardian flies' but they missed a few of them, as result 'evil flies' laid eggs in the trees, and there was no way to stop them now.
We were discussing that and the only way was to retreat to the 'bottom world' which was the place where animal people lived actually. Also we figured out that each of us had some form of, i guess, psychic link with one of the animal people, so ones could easily become friends with each other, i think the one i had link with was one boy that had brown fur and was trying to be badass quite often. Before leaving, i noticed that some green rectangular creatures were trying to take over one of the houses. We have used subway system from earlier and one of the trains got us to the bottom world. It was pretty similar to upper world, there was town of some kind, though terrain was more rocky. Interestingly, it was still possible to see bottom of the upper world, but it was bright at day like in upper world. We were staying in some house and were watching some movies and anime together with our new friends before going to sleep.
Then there was the next day, during which we were mostly getting used to this new world, and we walked around some locations in the town. During this i discovered that some of our people were having some hate towards animal people, some were even teaching kids to ignore them completely. I was annoyed by that and there was some discussion going on about that. Later i found out that it was related to one girl, i visited her dad back in upper world and was demanding to know the truth, but was denied. Annoyed, i broke into house and found some weird room. The walls and the floor of it was all bloody and there various sharp instruments and weapons on the walls and the floor. It was old bedroom of that girl, she apparently was murderer in the past somehow and her dad was trying to hide that from her by limiting her contacts, he was also afraid that due to psychic link her memory might come up as well, so he started whole propaganda against animal people.
Then her dad found me here, and was saying that i will not come out of there alive. I was trying to tell that we'll accept her and help her, but he was not trusting me(apparently past murders in that world were easily forgiven or something). He took out the blade from the wall and attacked me, i dodged and quickly got random saw-like thing from the floor, i blocked a few more attacks but saw was not good as weapon in this case, so once i got a chance i changed it for another blade, which was somewhat weirdly shaped. Our fight continued and i almost got defeated, but suddenly that girl was here. She screamed and distracted us from the fight for a bit, giving me chance to try to knock her dad off. But he seen that and managed to block. The fight continued into another room full of some weird stuff, i noticed some 'artifact' items around. I got told(possibly by that boy through psychic link) that the only way to get victorious was to use those artifacts. I can't recall how most of them looked, but i used them on girl's dad between blocking and dodging attacks, each time he got stunned for a bit, but continued assault, then there was the last artifact that looked like miniature observatory. I activated it on the ground and it started getting smaller and smaller while emitting more and more of some kind of power. At this point our fight stopped and we were both confused on what's about to happen. When observatory thing reached smallest size, miniature sphere quickly shot out of telescope and hit girl's dad. There was massive explosion of geometrical shapes, which knocked both of us out.
Later i awoken and found out that that thing apparently somehow changed the mind of her dad, she was there too. And then her dad started telling the truth that he forgotten about with time, and that he remembered it with the help of those artifacts. He was telling something about some kind of ritual and about some group of people who were supposed to fill holes in world with water to keep it stable or something and that they were from that group, then he was telling something about upper and bottom worlds and how they linked, but i can't recall what exactly.
Back at the bottom world i was still thinking about his words, i was looking at some prison building, which was unused due to the lack of anyone to put to prison, and suddenly i spontaneously realized that everything that i lived through so far was just a dream, i was confused and then i really didn't wanted this to suddenly end and wanted to see story to it's end. Nobody was at the streets, so i went home. And apparently there was party and every character i seen so far in the dream was there, everyone was cheering me up and decided to do special night party of transformation practice! Everyone satrted turning into random birds and animals, i for some reason recalled gab's avatar from dreamviews and while thinking 'why not' jumped onto the table and transformed into black cat in upon reaching it, also completely forgetting about dream. Somebody told me that i got eyes wrong, everyone transformed back and we laughed. Then we all were having fun doing various stuff till it was very late. I was going outside and i have seen ghosts that we saw earlier doing something near the 'ceiling' of the bottom world. As i looked more carefully they were trying to get their house back from those green creatures i saw earlier. They were failing for a while, but then something made them recall the target of their existence, they transformed into huge trollfaces and scared the green creatures off. Then ghosts faded out since they had nothing to do in this world anymore. I went back to house, party was finished and everyone went to sleep, so did i.
Next day, i was showing a bunch of video games to our animal people friends and then we were playing them together. Later, a new person showed up in our house, she was an ordinary girl but from what psychic linked friend was telling me, she was one of the people who were linked to the day of the year, or something. We found out that 'people of the day' started appearing in both worlds for some reason. We accepted her into our group.
Later this day i was in some school in bottom world with a few animal people and we were trying to figure out more about those 'people of the day'. We figured out that they have link to some other people as well, but not psychic, but living link, and that link appears upon contact and it's not predetermined. Some of 'people of the day' start disappearing for unknown reasons, and people linked to them died. We tried to keep bunch of 'people of the day' in safety by guarding them in one of the rooms, but then some dude with scythe broke through the door and did a swing through a few of 'people of the day', they disappeared. He ran away and we attempted to chase, but he was too fast.
This placed everyone in danger, since everyone have contacted with at least one of those 'people of the day', even accidentally. But we figured out the way to prevent the contact forming, it was basically holding some dirt in the mouth. Then we found out that the 'people of the day' went to hide in this world from that guy, but one girl gave out the location, so he followed. We found her and asked why, and she started telling some story about previous valentine day and something happening in the school. At this point dream abruptly ended sadly.

No supplements this time, I decided to just go clean and see what happens. I did smoke a little during the day, but not much, and not too soon before going to bed.

#1 - How Did This Become About Aliens? [Non-Lucid]

I was at some house party with JE and JG, among other people who I can't quite recall now, and we were all lying around or sitting on this bed in the dark waiting to each get pizza from JG one at a time, or something really odd like that. When he was calling me to get mine I suddenly realized that I was naked and felt really embarrassed, but it was really dark so I quickly made a grab for my pants and cami which I saw on the ground not too far from me and slipped them on. I went over to JG and got my pizza, like in a personal pan-sized box, and then I decided to head out (and the pizza just kind of disappeared in the process). I was walking to the door and this big dog came up and tried to get outside, but I held it back and went out and just started pacing back and forth in front of the door for R to get there to pick me up. I started anxiously texting him, but then after a minute JG came out to tell me that R was already sitting in the car parked in the driveway, even though when I looked a second later I didn't see anyone there.

I went over and got in the car and, down on the street, this car pulls up and a group of mean looking thugs or something get out. We drive off recklessly, swerving and barely missing obstacles along the way, and eventually we accidentally hit some of the thugs. R (though I'm not sure it's actually him) drives us off quickly so we can get away before they come beat the shit out of us and we end up in some frozen and snowy lake, which was the first sign of this kind of weather in the dream. Suddenly I had a third-person view of the thugs trying to figure out who we are, and they were referring to us as aliens (and I had a mental image of me being a humanoid one, while R or whoever looked like Roger from American Dad!) when someone pointed out that there were just some aliens at JG's house, so they decided to go ask him about us. It flashes back to us now except that it's still in third-person and we've become Robin (Cobie Smulders) and Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) from How I Met Your Mother. I could guess who was supposed to be who but I can't really say for sure, I didn't feel a distinct connection to either since this was all very detached still. Robin was freaking out about the situation but Barney was saying don't you get it? Something had to have started all of this alien business, and it might have been there at that lake. However, before he could really go any further with that thought, I woke up.

#2 - Just An Ordinary Office [DILD]

Something led up to this part of the dream, but the first thing I really remember is when me, Butters from South Park, his dad, a psychiatrist, and a cat all walked into this nice little room that was visibly (through the windows) on the first floor of some building we were in. Butters had some kind of supposed emotional problems that needed discussing, and the psychiatrist started talking about how she had the perfect method to make him feel better. It sounded really deep and caring, until she started saying about how wonderful it would be to do... whatever it was (some form of relaxation or self-expression I think, but it's hard to recall now) "as a lesbian". As she was saying all this, I became lucid. Poor Butters was just starting to get really confused as always, and I start petting the cat who's still walking around the room and laughing my ass off at how ridiculous this is. I started thinking about someone I know in waking life who always has stories about how when something funny happens in one of her dreams she wakes up in a fit of laughter, so it made me a little cautious not to make myself wake up but thankfully that never happened. I started observing everything around me just to stabilize a bit, and I decided to go through this other door in the room (aside from the one we came through) that I perceived as leading to the closet, but I wanted it to lead somewhere else.

I opened the door and there was a hallway in it, and as I turned around and it left my sight while I was closing the door, I willed it to lead to some kind of work office. I'm not sure why I chose this exactly, I guess I just thought it would be more likely to happen since I could easily picture it in the kind of environment I was already in. It worked, and I suddenly felt that I was no longer on the first floor of the building. I walked down and this guy walked past me and smiled at me, so I just kind of smiled back while I was still busy stabilizing, but then I decided I should stop worrying about that and just be confident that the dream will hold itself together for at least a little bit. I turned back around and said hey to the guy and asked if I could see his shirt, just to see what it said. It was one of those things where there are two phrases that each have one word the same and in the image they're combined so that they each end up at that word (or sometimes start from that word, but not this time) and that particular word is only written once, you know? The two things it said were "PUSH IT" and "SHOVE IT", with the 'IT' being at the bottom. The whole thing was made out of craftily placed black and orange borders, and I'm not sure if it would have actually made sense in reality or if it just worked because I only focused on one section of the shirt at a time, but I did think it was pretty cool and I told him so. He got all happy and was like "Isn't it?" or something like that, and then walked off.

I kept walking through the office a bit and came across a few people, a couple guys sitting at desks and a girl just kind of standing around. I walked up to the girl and asked what's up, and she says something like they're just hanging around, and then she asks me if I want to dance. I say sure and we do a dorky little dance for a moment (you know when you like just raise your fists up to your shoulders and barely shake back and forth a bit? ), and then she asks me if I want a piece of paper. I'm like um, sure? And she reaches over and grabs one with something on it from a printer that was sitting next to us. I reached out to take it from her but she pulled it back and started telling me something, and I think it was about something I had to do to get the paper, but the dream started becoming flat and seeming distant, and then it faded away and I woke up.

I thought about trying to fall back asleep and go for more, but I kind of had to go to the bathroom when I woke up and I was already alert enough that I knew that afterward I would be too awake to really have a chance at it, so I just decided to fully get up then.

Dream
Lucid
Semi-Lucid

This part really has nothing to do with the previous, however it was in the same night.
It also show a bit of an example of inconsistent spatial dimensions in dreams, which will come up later in future conjecture.

February 19th 2013

After a while of resting my friend hudson comes over.
He says we're going to some kid's birthday party.
He belongs to group of friends that we know and party with from time to time but we're not really friends with them.
We head over to his place.
As expected there's a bunch of pretentious people there.
I look around and see that the ratio of boys to girls is about 50/50.
Which means my chances of getting laid tonight are pretty high.
Speaking of pretty high, there's a few people in the loving area that are pretty stoned.
There all watching tv or something.
There's quite a few people scattered about, some but the sink, some playing ping pong or pool.
The vibe is a bit, meh.
Hudson's already disappeared off doing his own thing.
I decide to go sit by the couch and watch some tv.
The birthday kid is here, just sitting around doing nothing. I decide to indulge him.
We begin watching a movie and I get really into it (literally).
It's about this huge battle between cartoon characters and marshmallow people.
The marshmallows carry over sized tooth picks as spears.
The cartoon characters are trying to get to this wall that holds all the clones of the cartoon characters.
It's a bloody battle.
One of them, a wizard of some sort, carries 2 trumpets, (not like musical instruments like the ones that brought down the walls of fucking jericho).
He's using them to blow enemies away.
At one point one of them is destroyed, he still fights on though.
Then, after an intense battle with a giant marshmallow.

"Uh oh, where'd my trumpet go?"

The enemy had gotten a hold of it.
Dear god.
They used it to decimate the battlefield.
The battle was lost, when suddenly, the clones decided to fight for the others, and helped destroy the marshmallow people.
I really don't do it justice this was fucking awesome.
When the movie was done everyone in the area was either tired or asleep.
Jeez, how long has it been?
I went to go get some water, however there are no cups.
This forces me to have to drink water out of a ziplock bag.
After I've finished by beverage I begin to move on, however the birthday boy asks for my ear first.

"Hey, I just wanted to let you know, you're a pretty cool dude C.J., you're like, the only person here who isn't drunk are high, that's cool."

"Hey man don't mention it ." I reply.

I move into the hallway.
I see that in one of the rooms there is a pool table. Pretty cool.
I continue my exploration.
The hallway goes quite a long way down.
I take a look into another one of the rooms.
It's bigger than any of the others, looks like it belongs in a mansion.
I move along and begin to wonder, where's hudson?
Wasn't he here with me when I got here?
How did I get here? Didn't hudson bring me?
Faint memories of hudson arriving at my apartment to pick me up ache at the back of my head.
I can't remember that well, but I guess he did.
I look into another room.
Wow.
The ceiling is way high up, theres a long dining table here decorated with expensive plates and silverware.
There are a few party guests eating at the table.
This place looks like it belongs in buckingham palace or something.
I keep going and at the end of the hallway leads double doors to a huge rec room where a stage is set up.
Apparently the birthday boy's little brother is performing some kind of rap.
There's a lot of people here.
There all bunched together at the stage so I can't see it.
I decide to not go by there since I'd just be in a huge crowd of cramped together people.
A few other people have adopted that same opinion and have stayed by where I am, by the door.
One of the guys (a guy I met 3 years ago in cuba) decides we should dance, and starts to salsa with me.
Unfortunately I have to left feet for some reason and am stepping on his feet constantly.
We swap partners and now I'm partnered with a girl a little shorter than me (also someone I met from the same cuba trip).
I seem to do a little better, I'm using all my power to try and not step on her feet.
We swap again and this time I'm partnered with a different girl.
She was wearing a blue sweater, had elbow long brown hair, and was about my height (no wl counterpart).
However, she recused to dance with me, which I found quite rude.
I soon after woke up.

I have some trouble as I'm moving into my new apartment. It seems the previous tenant left some of her items and she has some of mine. My landlord tracks down where she moved to and arranges for me to go there and exchange the items.

Flash forward a few days. I arrive at the other building at night. It is an imposing building of solid concrete, no windows, and few lights around the exterior. I find a security guard. I tell him I am a guest and have arranged to meet one of the tenants. He gives me a brown blanket and says "It's a belt." I drape the blanket around me. Apparently, I need to wear this to get through the security sensors. The guard leads me inside the building. Inside it's very nice like a luxurious modern hotel. Everything is marble and glass and steel. A cool ocean blue is the dominant color, like I'm in an aquarium. The guard leads me to the landlord of the building.

The landlord is an older women who is impeccably dressing and sophisticated. She greets me warming and leads me to the elevator. We ride to the top floor. There's a formal party going on in the penthouse. The landlord explains she has to make a speech and I can wait at the party. I feel a bit awkward at the party where I don't know anyone. The landlord begins her speech and the crowd gathers around her. I move to the edge of the room where a few shy people are sitting away from the crowd. I sit down a take out my phone. It is the new Blackberry. This intrigues the man sitting a bit to my right. I explain that I have two phones and the store gave me the new Blackberry because of some problem with the warranty of my other phone. A few other curious people gather around me as I talk about my new phone.

I recall that I'm here to met the apartment tenant and shouldn't be distracted. I find the landlord after her speech. She is about to give a tour of the building to some of the party guests. She tells me to follow along and she will help me after. I follow the tour group by fall behind. I find myself in line to what appears to be a museum. I circle through this line two or three times. When I get to the front, I have my credit card ready to pay. But the attendant tells me it's free and always will be free. He seems offended that I would think to pay. The next time through the line, I enter a room and sneak through a vent into an "employee's only" room. A man frowns at me and tells me this the dining room and bathroom for the workers and not for guests.

Once again I realize I'm distracted and find the landlord. She leads me to what I suppose is the mail room. There are a few people here. The landlord introduces me to the tenant I was looking for. She is a young woman, taller than me, and strikingly beautiful. She has light brown hair and a bright friendly face. I suppose she looks like that new British princess whats-her-name. She's friendly and opens with some playful banter like, "I'm the one with your book and you're the one with my mirror!" She leads me to a security checkpoint and asks the security guard to issue a passcard to get through "for the next cycle." She then starts back, leaving me to go alone to her apartment to exchange the items. I ask her to wait, I should give her my phone number in case anything's wrong. She gives me a scrap of paper and a pen. I start to write my phone number but get it wrong. I scratch that out and start again. This time it's correct but so sloppy that it's illegible. Why is my handwriting so sloppy? Dream fades.

Football

IWL, I've been spending time at a friends house watching and throwing a football, eating and drinking, and so forth.

Last night I dreamed I was at this house, but didn't bring anything to drink. At first I was lying down. There wasn't enough room for me to lie down.

Then I was up and realized I needed to get something to drink for the party. There was snow on the ground, but I was determined so that I wouldn't be asking to drink other people's beverages. Others were advising against leaving under those road conditions, but I was going to leave.

Dream skip

I'm going to throw a football. I can throw my "The Duke" football, or another professional size football. I feel the other ball to determine which I prefer. I prefer my football--"The Duke," but I wanted to feel the other football well since I'd already made my decision. This was the best part of the dream. It wasn't so exciting, but I got a very good sensation of feeling from the football. It was really cool.

The End

My dreams followed close behind what I was thinking about as I went to bed.

im with some folks on the street next to mine and they are trying to fix up their front garden so they can have people over for parties. we are just doing stuff like trying to lay all this crazy paving down. somehow i become lucid and just decide to instantly transform it into this amazing club style place. i stay lucid for a long time and just go around asking people questions about themselves and their views on where we are and what we are experiencing. its as if they are really there so i ask this guy his name and say if you are real we will meet online somehow one day

someone asks me for weed. havent smoked for a while but i decide to try to magic it out from my magic pocket. all i feel in there is some dust so i doubt my abilities. for some reason i decide that it will be easy if i just hand something to the guy and let him create it himself. i pass him some pocket fluff and as soon as he gets it it turns into a big bag of weed. i say to my brother how it somehow seems easier to create things for other people. random but enjoyable

Dad

I lit up a cigarette and took a drag. IWL I quit 20 years ago. My father came home so I ran out of the house. I was afraid because I wasn't supposed to smoke in the house.

I told him, "I won't do it again." Then he was smoking too. Then I came up to him and neither of us were smoking. I was so excited to see him, I tried to explain how important it was that I connect with him this time. I knew that I'd had other chances and never could connect with him. I kind of knew that I'd been seeing him in dreams, but I didn't really put it all together.

The dream ended there.

Lost

I was looking for a party and got lost driving. I turned around and found my way back. Being lost on dream roads was really weird.

I got to the party and found a couple of my old bosses there. I felt out of place with one because he holds a much, much higher position than I ever did, but just as I was feeling that way, he hugged me.

At that point, he turned into an unresponsive DC. We separated, and the dream ended.

I had a dream that my boyfriend and I went to the airport so he could catch his flight back home (he lives in Mexico; I live in the US). After we said goodbye and he left, I went looking for someone who could tell me when the next flights to Mexico were to have an idea of when we could get together again. Not too long after we went our separate ways, I turned around and saw him behind me. I was surprised to see him there, as his flight had already begun boarding. Surprised, I asked him why he was still here, but I woke up before he had a chance to reply.

After going back to sleep (I don't know what time it was when I woke up, but it was still dark), I had a dream that I was at a party. I saw a girl there who looked familiar; I recognized her to be Ashley (my tulpa Link's girlfriend, who has a different host). I thought that I should tell Link that Ashley was there, since he'd be happy to see her, but then I remembered that tulpae can't see other people's tulpae (somehow, it didn't occur to me that I shouldn't be able to see her, either).

I do remember it starting completely no where on this deserted land. There was no signs of stores or utilities anywhere. All I was able to see was a few people, people who lived in the city. There was something interesting about this city. This city, although not having the appropriate places like stores, rest rooms, homes, it was a city just originating. It was kind of western was still felt like we were the first city the world.

There was this desert I was walking on. The hills to my right were pretty high. My left side had a river streaming all the way in to the ocean. The river looked cleaned and so did the river. There was something that scared me about it. I saw the river and it looked a little too deep. I often saw people jump in to it but nothing bad really happened to them. I was probably exaggerating.

After a few minutes of walking or so, we finally reached a stop. The place we stopped at was a luxurious home. That was my curiosity. What was a beautiful home doing in a place like this? It never occurred to me to be a dream.

This home, it had people in it, a lot of them. I looked at most of them as upper class only because there was security at the front glass doors. I walked in to the place and found things to chance differently. There were these people who were talking about dreams, or how scary it would be if one of us entered a deep sleep while paralyzed. I talked about my recent experiences in this place, not real ones but fake ones. I told one of the people my dream about Amnesia. I was stuck in a castle haunted my ghosts/demons. Falling asleep was the worst part only because I knew what I was going in to.

We talked about that for a while and often times I would see images of dark areas of the castle in Amnesia. After that, I walked upstairs of this nice home and found nothing for me upstairs. All I really saw after dream talking was people having a good time being at this place. There was nothing left for me here.

I walked back outside of this home and saw a person, a girl. She looked to be around her twenties but then again you'll never sure because a lot of teens now in days look like they're in their twenties. This woman wanted to talk to me but as she tried to, I was flying on the other side of the river and back using a tool like the one I use in Just Cause 2. Often times I would fall in the river and there was in fact one time when I encountered a sea creature in it. I accidentelly fell to the river floor and hurried my way back to shore. A few seconds after I reached the shore, I saw a white shark coming after me. It was a relief to have survived this possible attack.

After making my way back shore, I decided to ride a horse, or something like it. I was riding this horse up to the first area where the dream first started. There was something behind us. There was a pit bull, it didn't look to happy. As I was riding, the pit bull was attacking my horse. He killed it but I never collapsed to the ground. The pit bull then attacked me with its mouth. I felt its bites but they never really hurt me. I petted the dog and it seemed to have calmed down.

I made my way and got off the so called horse and walked with a few other groups of people. We walked to an area where something new had just happened. For some strange reason, we had just discovered something I already knew about. I forgot what it was. Everyone else felt excited about this new discovery. I did too. I felt really grateful that the discovery was able to help us living in a time when everything was harder to work with.

There was something about this group of people that caught my attention. This group of people, most of them were another race. Most of the people I hear from, they called them white. In this dream, it felt as if the white people thought they were better than everyone else. There was only one black person there, and me, not black but Hispanic. I always think of this. Especially when I go on a server that's filled with people who have the money to be able to buy donation features or have the time to play the game. But while I was in this area, no one seemed to had shown any form of hatred towards me.

After this experience, I walked back over to where I first seen a white shark and appeared in a huge area. This area was a bit strange, hard to describe but I remember watching my father go out with another woman, not his wife. I had no anger towards him and I even saw the woman doing stuff to him. I felt a little disgusted after I saw my father lying on that couch with no shirt on. I never saw them perform any sexual activity but it bothered me a little.

I started out at a party somewhere in the dream. I cannot recall the faces of strangers, only close friends. The room gave off a noisy feeling as I walked around the ball room. There were a few family members who met up with me near one of the tables. It was at this moment where I felt a very small bit of lucidity. I saw my little niece Alyssa running up to me in a white dress. I felt happy to see her here!

There was another dream I explored later on. In this next dream, I felt very lucid! Here is how it went...

I started out in a neighborhood I recently visited inside one of my previous dreams. This place I was in, it was on a long, narrow street. I was lucid as soon as I stepped on to the road, but I can't remember how I got on it. There was a house in front of me. In front of this house, there was a tall man. My job was to kill him and make sure he doesn't kill me. I walked up to a car in front of the home and stood there waiting for a good shot. I saw the man walking down the porch of the house. I extended my hand in front of me and imagined there to be some kind of a special power within it. I pointed this imaginary gun towards the man and started shooting. The man fired back but never hit me once, his bullets only ricochet off the car.

As soon as I killed this man, I felt in control enough to try and summon someone. This times I wasn't going to summon Quynh though. I summoned someone better. I walked back on to the road, extended my right hand towards my back and yelled out, "Come here, Trinh!" At first, I failed, but next time, I summoned someone. I turned around to look at her face, but it wasn't her. She didn't look anything like Trinh. I thought it could of been probably because I imagined her appearance from a recent Facebook picture of her.

The third time I tried, I done something differently, and please don't take offense in what I'm going to write because I love these people! I turned back around and immediately imagined her and the way her eyes looked, beautiful Asian eyes. I extended my arm back again and yelled, "Come here, Trinh!" I turned around and saw the way I imagined her! There was something else wrong though. She did have the eyes but her mouth and teeth looked like that of a horse's mouth. I was still happy it worked though. And although it wasn't Quynh, I couldn't wait to try again next time, or probably something different. Hopefully...

11:30pm

I am at a party in a large warehouse and people are dancing. It still a pretty big room but small by comparison. There are disco lights and smoke. There are several groups between me and my girlfriend who I see dancing and having a good time. I am extremely tired and because of the setting I started to feel drunk like I haven't been in a long time. Next to me is a really cute girl dancing and she starts to flirt with me. I'm too tired to participate and besides I have a girlfriend. I lean up against the wall. I close my eyes and start to slide down the wall till I am lying on the floor. I didn't want my girlfriend to see me drunk but still was wishing she would come take care of me.

I fall asleep for a bit. When I wake up the lights are out and everyone had gone to sleep where they were. A giant quilt covered the whole room and only the people along the wall could pop their heads out. Most had paired up but nothing sexy had gone on. I wondered why my girlfriend hadn't laid down next to me. Instead, the flirt was next to me and she was playing with my hair and starting to cuddle up. I was way to tired to move and so I let her do her thing. Our legs were touching when I sat up to see where my girlfriend was. I couldn't see here but thought that she was probably one of the lumps under the quilt about 15' away where she had been dancing.

Still exhausted I plop back down to the floor. The flirt plays with my hair some more and then I hear my girlfriends voice saying something along the lines of "WTF...what is going on here.. you letting her..."...I don't have an explanation. I'm to tired to give an explanation. Being as tired as I was would have worked but I was to tired to even think of that. For those few moments my GF was pissed but then she became totally unconcerned.

Apparently she had been loving the huge climbing wall in the next room and was climbing alone while everyone slept. The flirt and I followed her there as she put on fall protection and a hard hat (like I have at work). The climbing wall covered every wall of this part of the warehouse and extended across the ceiling. There was also metal scaffolding and walkways above the middle of the floor.

I felt concerned that my GF had been climbing without someone to watch her. Trying not to sound too bossy I ask her not to climb by herself because it is dangerous. I say something about needing to go home but GF says that we don't exactly have one of these at home and wants to keep climbing. As the dream fades I see more of what is in the warehouse. There is heavy industrial extrusion dies with eye hooks on them. Climbing rope and chains are run though the eye hooks...............Wake up
