      11:04am

      Found myself in a crowded cafeteria. A lady was talking into a microphone and then began to count and recite numbers in a sing songy voice. Somehow everyone in the cafeteria knew that I had studied a little Japanese and wanted me to demonstrate. They handed me the mic but when I started to count I got stuck. "Ichi.. ni.. san.................Ichi.. ni..." I was so rusty I couldn't even count to four and I was so embarrassed.
    2. [Primus Beatbox]

      by , 10-03-2012 at 09:23 AM (Searching For The Center of Everything)
      [Sunday, September 30th, 2012]
      I'm with my Dad and my little brother Casey- and possibly Nathan too. We're standing outside, at the bottom of our
      old house's driveway... there's furnature everywhere as if we're inside. He explains that the band Primus is the best
      thing ever- so I start hearing Primus songs in my head and they apparently start playing to everyone else too. I start
      drumming with metal clothes hangers on anything I can find. I drum pretty close to the beat of the songs like My
      Name Is Mud, Jerry Was A Racecar Driver, and Kalamazoo but I get extremely tired fast. I switch to plastic hangers
      and continue and its a lot easier. I drum the intro to Kalamazoo and then start singing the part that comes in and it
      sounds pretty good. I can stay on beat very easily. (I would never be able to do this in real life.)

      At another time, I'm also at Nathan's house. It's late and I shouldn't be there or something- but I just use the excuse
      that I need to grab something. I don't remember what it was that I "had to grab" but it got me inside for a second. It
      probably had to do with WoW.

      Before all of this- I was driving east on Wickenburg Way and looking for a certain white/blue building on the left. (It
      was very unvivid and unspecific of a dream.)

      (Recall escapes me. I'm gonna go read up on recall techniques soon.)
    3. [Return to a Child]

      by , 09-08-2012 at 11:29 AM (Searching For The Center of Everything)
      [Thursday, September 5th, 2012]
      (It's been a week almost since the last real recall... Nathan and Alex have been waking me up every attempt. I need a less alarming wake-up from now on. Less distraction. I need to be patient. The weed hasn't been helping, so I've decided to quit. At least for two weeks. So my next smoking date can be on the 20th.)

      (The dream I had before Nathan woke me up):
      The short recall of the dream started with- I was sitting in the car with Alex driving and Nathan in the back seat. We were in Surprise, around the Walmart area in the parking lot. It was probably around 5-6PM because it was light out still, but obviously towards the end of the day. I was singing two songs at once... having trouble determining the difference between them. The first one that I recall thinking about in the dream was, "Simplistic Trance-Like Getaway" by Never Shout Never. But also, at the same time it sounded like another song... "Beginner's Mind" by Bright Eyes. Around the same time, we were pulling out of the parking lot and heading home to Wickenburg. The last thing I remember was watching the powerlines pass. That's when Nathan woke me up in WL by rapping at my window.

      (That was a very interesting choice of song. They both were... very... involved in my state of WL. I couldn't help but feel chills listening to the words after I had woken up. How could I know to choose those songs? Does my subconscious have control of my dreambody when my waking consciousness doesn't? Should I treat it as a seperate entity? I think so.)
    4. The Horschwager Olympics

      Hit my longest lucid yet this morning! It felt like it might have gone 20 minutes. Very exciting! Go go Intro Class!

      Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

      Lucid #10: The Horschwager Olympics (Early this morning)

      I'm at home in the master bedroom and something tips me off that I'm having a dream. Fortunately, it's daytime but I still feel compelled to leave the house as quickly as I can. (I've been getting stuck in the first scene very often lately.) After having trouble getting out of my upstairs window last time, I decide to dash downstairs and try the front door.

      The second floor is a perfect reconstruction of my house, seemingly down to the smallest details. I even have to fiddle with the baby gate to get downstairs. The ground floor, though, has changed into a hot, stifling gaggle of steam tunnels with no obvious exits.

      I notice a mirror on the wall and check my reflection. I look like myself but with a pudgier face and feathered, rather flamboyant 90s-looking hair. (Still dashing, of course!)

      I return to looking for an exit and spy an old-school cast iron stove against the wall. I see that it has a vent/chimney sticking out of the top that I imagine must lead to the outside. It's only a few inches in diameter but I decide that I can squeeze myself up it and make my escape via reverse Santa Claus.

      I crawl through the oven and start willing my way up the vent. It's ultra-confining and hot to the point where I feel some mild pain on my skin during the trek upward. What a way to travel! Why didn't I take the mirror? I operate with a noticeably reduced IQ in my LDs, I'm afraid!

      I finally emerge in daylight on a coastal city on a bright, clear morning. It's like a cross between San Francisco and Nice, France. Wife jogs past me and I jog after her through a bustle of dream characters.

      As we run along, Wife hands me her iPod and tells me to listen. It's playing some catchy pop number with a female vocalist. It's not my style but it's got this great hook that I can't resist humming along to. As I hum, Wife and all of the other dream characters that we pass start singing as well. The sort of thing that only happens on cheesy television programs and my lucid dreams, I think.

      Eventually, the road breaks away from the coast and Wife stops to rest. I decide to go off on my own and try to compete in the Olympics (recent goal.) I walk through the door of a nearby building, expecting to find the Olympics.

      A greeter DC guides me into an enormous room that's a combination locker room and ice skating rink. I'm somewhat perturbed to find myself in the Winter Olympics but figure that I can change this later. I grab a duffel bag out of one of the lockers and carry it with me. A harried-looking receptionist and "E" (IWL friend) direct me to go to the second floor via elevator. I ask them what city this Olympics is taking place in. They respond that it is in "Horschwager" this year.

      The elevators look dilapidated and out of service. (Doors hanging off loosely, bare shafts visible, etc.) I decide to take the stairs. The stairs, however, are a confusing maze of narrow bridges and snaking archways with sheer drop-offs all around. I wander this maze for a good while, reminding myself that "I'm in a lucid dream, about to compete in the Olympics" but the clock eventually runs out just as I reach a strange, glass-enclosed room.
      I wake up.

    5. August 13th 2012. 1st dream of the day. Back to daycare. WTH??!?!?!?

      by , 08-15-2012 at 05:50 PM (Into my subconscious.... WTF type dreams.....)
      I am sitting on the floor in an old daycare that I used to attend when I was 4 years old. I am about the same age I am now (26) and a girl that I used to be best friends with when I was in junior high, Amanda, is there with me. She is sitting to the right of me. We are both sitting like children sometimes do, with our legs spread out to the sides in a V shape. We both have a giant piece of paper in front of us. My task is to write something about the person I am today. I feel unsure of what to write and I don't want anyone to judge me so I don't write anything. Instead I sit there and rip a piece of the top right hand corner off and play with it for awhile. I look to see if Amanda has written anything and she hasn't either.

      The room is laid out exactly how I remember it in real life. The teachers desk is diagonally to the left of me. The back door to go outside to the playground is to my immediate left. The cubby room is right behind me. The bathroom is right behind Amanda. The classroom door that enters from the hallway is on the other side of the room to the right. There are lots of little kids in this classroom and we are way too grown to be in here with them! It seems a little strange to me but I don't think about it too much.

      Amanda and I are now in the corner across the room playing around two desks. We seem to have built a 'fort' with our personal belongings, just like little kids often do. We decorated this area with our handbags, sunglasses, shoes and lip glosses.

      Pauly D from jersey shore is in the room with us too. He is sitting on the floor near the door in a circle with about 3 other little kids. Next to them sits the teacher on the floor with the rest of the classroom sitting with her. I can feel Amanda's negativity towards me, like always. I pull out my iphone4 and suddenly a loud voice is heard from my phone saying, "annyeonghaseyo". It is my Korean language learning app and I am embarrassed. I quickly try to shut it off and suddenly Pauly D repeats it and then starts singing the entire Korean alphabet to me! I am impressed. He comes over and I ask him where he learned to speak the language. He tells that he works for the night club, "Bleu", and his manager made all of the employees learn to speak it. This excites me. I smile and say, "that's because a lot of Korean people must go there!!!!!"

      Amanda starts feeling jealous that Pauly D is paying more attention to me than her so she begins to compete with me for his attention. She leaves me to go play poker with him and the other kids. I want to join but I am a little rusty on my poker skills and I am afraid if I play I will loose and look dumb. I sit behind Amanda and watch. The teacher says something to me but I forget. Amanda is flirting hard with Pauly D and totally ignoring me. I feel like I need to pee so I tell Amanda I am going to put my shoes on before going into the bathroom, because walking into the bathroom without shoes is just nasty. She looks at me with a vague expression and I get up and walk over to the corner where I left my shoes.

      On my way I pass the bathroom. I look in and realize their are no doors or curtains, and the toilets are little tiny baby toilets! I decide I'd rather hold it than to be embarrassed by someone walking by and seeing me with my pants down. I put my shoes on and clean up all of my stuff so I don't loose anything. I feel excluded. I hang out in the corner by myself and decide I want to roll myself an ice cream cone. I end up rolling two. I use waffle cone wraps that are soft with vanilla ice cream. Pauly D walks over and asks if he can have one. I give him the 2nd one I rolled which is less pretty than the first. He stands there talking to me and I can feel Amanda getting extremely jealous and upset.

    6. German Shepperd Cat , Old Shirt, My house, Singing Bird that shapeshifted into another bird

      by , 08-13-2012 at 05:22 PM
      I was in my house when i had guests i did not actually remember when they got in. They brought a pitbull a bird that could sing really well to every song, And the weirdest thing was this german shepperd cat that meow'd and barked at the same time and it sounded sooooo weird. First off i remember playing with the bird it was a small one like a parrot but when i leave it alone it turned into a pigeon (still singing) I thought it was really cool and played with it for a while it did want to go out the window becouse it was calm idk. After that i remember sitting down with the guests and there were 2 dogs i started playing with the pitbull but it was very weird becouse it wanted to bite me everytime i touch it (NOTE: it's mouth was white from the inside i thought it was normal so no biggie.) Then i told my guests that i have a shirt that has a pitbull on it and it looked very much like their's. I brought the shirt but it was old and the picture was all yellow and it was of another pitbull like an animation i did not pay much atention to it so i put it back where it was. After that there was the second dog or at least i thought it was a dog. It was actually a cat hybrid with a german shepperd it's face was very weird i couldn't even look at it from the weirdness then it made a sound some thing like a bark and a meow at the same time .

      That's when i woke up and tried to remember other details about the dream without moving an inch but that was all weird as fuck i will tell you that.
    7. Singing a Spanish Line; Fully Repairable Food Balls; Messed Up Tattoo

      by , 08-03-2012 at 10:46 AM (* The Sandman's Dream Journal o/***)
      Singing a Spanish Line

      I was singing a song in Spanish. A native speaker overheard me and corrected me. I was really embarrassed, but I was happy to know how to sing the line correctly. I can't remember how the song went.


      Fully Repairable Food Balls

      I went to the city square with my daughter's friend SH. I may have been with other people. When we got there, we all walked tiredly up some steps to a train track. The track circled at the steps to go back in the other direction.

      We all chose a spot to wait for the train. I asked someone in my party if they wanted to stand with me. They stood somewhere else. I saw that they would be lined up with a different train based on where they stood. I mentioned to someone that it showed the difference in kids today. It made sense in my dream. It showed how they associated with different songs, or a different, more modern songs and technologies or something.

      Dream Skip

      I was looking down on these buildings. The city seemed empty except for 3 warehouses. Two were Japanese and they were affiliated. One was named "dieche" or "dihatche" or something.

      Eventually we were all outside that warehouse looking in. There were these green, round balls about the size of the large, inflatable exercise balls, except these were food.

      This was some new kind of food, and it was said to be "fully repairable." I saw one mis-shapen ball become perfectly round, then roll into its place near, but apart from another ball.

      We started realizing something was wrong with these balls. It became clear they were our enemy. I looked around and saw some buildings we could run too. Some had fire ladders going up a ways towards the top of the building.

      Then the people working at the warehouse released the balls. I knew they were poisonous and would kill us. The government was wiping everyone out. One person ran to a ladder at one of the buildings. I was going to run to another, but I woke up to go to the bathroom.

      Messed Up Tattoo

      I had a tattoo on both my arms. I had been drunk and let someone ink me. I was so pissed. The art work was horrible. It was supposed to be fire, and should have stopped a bit up my arm. Instead you could kind of see fire, but it was mostly just scribble, and it went down onto my fingers. I realized that any job I ever had would have to accept tattoos on my hands.

    8. Nap Lucid Dream

      by , 08-01-2012 at 06:12 AM
      1-6-08

      Nap Lucid:

      The beginning is fuzzy. I do remember playing on a playground. Swinging on the swings and going down the slides, etc. I also remember hearing a guy singing the song "Tomorrow" from Annie. I wanted to whistle along, but I couldn't seem to whistle...so I hummed.

      Then I was jumping off one of the climbers. I suddenly had a view of myself as if I were a video game character. I could see my body, but I was right behind it with a good view. I must have been with someone because I was saying, "Check this out...this is how it looks like when I fly in dreams. See how incredibly real this is. Doesn't this make you want to be able to lucid dream and fly too?"

      And then I noticed that as I watched myself fly I was actually feeling the motion. I had that roller coaster feeling in my stomach when I swooped down fast.

      I started to question this. And came to the conclusion that I was dreaming.

      I flew out over some buildings. I then had this feeling like I had entered the dream through a WILD. (This thought has been happening to me lately in LDs). I wanted to reach out and touch one of the buildings, but I was afraid to move my arms yet because of the fear I might not be fully in the dream yet, and I didn't want to mistakenly move my real arms and wake myself up. So I waited a moment, then I was sure I was fully in the dream, then I reached out and touched a building as I passed.

      There is a blip in my memory here. I suddenly remember being in a store. I had no idea how I got there. I saw two older men. I was looking at brochers when they noticed me. They apologised that the store was not open to the public this time of year, that there was not enough stock to sell things. I saw that this was a gardening store, but I also saw a card that had AM's name on it. Somehow I thought that having a connection with AM should give me permission to be in the store. But I decided that I didn't want to bother. I told the men, "That's fine".

      But I couldn't remember if I came in the front or back door, so I asked, even though I knew it would sound funny. But then I decided I didn't care. I would go out the back door. I opened it and jumped out and flew. I wanted the men to see me fly.

      I flew again over buildings. I wanted to remember details. I saw a carwash that had a sign that said "Tr" in big letters and had a picture of a treant from World of Warcraft on it.



      I was thinking that this was the town that I currently lived in. But something in my mind told me that if I flew to the edge of town I would find the ocean instead of desert. Sure enough, I saw the ocean. But I felt disappointed somehow. I looked up again and saw mountains behind the water. My mind had changed this to a lake.

      I started flying over the water. It dried up as I flew. I didn't like that, so I told myself to make the water stay. And finally I was flying over water.

      I decided I needed to do something creative. I immediately thought of Oneironaut's dreams and decided that there were strange creatures in the water below. I swooped down close to the water and was suddenly nervous that some giant sea serpent would reach up and grab me.

      I felt disappointed again. Because I had put the thought in my head that there were potentially dangerous creatures in the water, there was no way I wanted to go in the water now. Even if I told myself that I didn't want creatures in the water, my mind most likey would have one sneak up on me anyway.

      I landed at the far side of the lake. I needed to do something different. I finally thought of doing the Task of the Month for the first time in this dream.

      Sometimes I sense dreams coming to an end. I knew I didn't have time to go to another planet. I had to find a DC fast to ask my New Year's Resolution from. But I saw no one. And I realized that it was too late to do that one too...and I drifted awake.
    9. LD: A Friend's Death

      by , 08-01-2012 at 06:05 AM
      1-2-08

      I had an interesting dream last night. I'm calling it a Lucid Dream because in the dream I realized that I was dreaming. Yet, the dream had such a hold of me that I didn't reach full lucidity and the dream pulled me back in. I'm not sure where to end the blue....

      Lucid Dream:

      I was in a store that supposedly belonged to my friend Jim. I was the only one in the store. I had somehow let myself in while it was closed. I walked to toward the front of the store and saw that there was a mess on the floor. A soda had spilled and there were torn newspapers.

      I decided that I would clean them up. I didn't want Jim to have to deal with that when he came in.

      When I was just finishing cleaning up, I heard the front door of the store open. A guy that I supposedly recognized because he worked in the next store over, and a lady I know (Elaine) walked in.

      I apologized that the store wasn't really open and that I should have made sure the door was locked. Elaine looked at me very seriously. I knew something was wrong.

      I asked her if something was wrong, and she knodded. She told me that there had been a lot of ambulances and emergency vehicles in front of Jim's house earlier. That there had been gunshots heard.

      I asked if Jim was alright. She slowly shook her head and said, "No....Jim is dead."

      I remember standing there in shock, then falling to my knees. I put my hands over my face and I started to sob. Jim had been my good freind. He was about to get married next Spring. He was so happy. What was Kim, his fiancee, going to do now? All their hopes shattered. I needed to talk to Kim.

      Then a funny thought went through my head. Jim lived in Rhode Island. I wasn't in Rhode Island. How could Elaine have just driven by Jim's house? This didn't make sense. Then it hit me. This must be a dream. It would be so wonderful it it was a dream. If this was a dream, then it probably meant that Jim wasn't dead. I stood up and took off flying. Yes..this was a dream.

      I was so happy that this was a dream that I started to sing as I flew around the store. I sung about how everything was going to be alright now. I thought I did a great job with the song and even remember that I was making it all rhyme.

      But as I landed I started doubting. I knew that I was dreaming. But I didn't know if this for sure meant that Jim was okay.

      I can't remember all the details of what happened next. I do remember my mom called me and did confirm that there were ambulances in front of Jim's house ealier. I started feeling upset again. If my mom saw the ambulances, it had to be real didn't it?

      I decided that the only was to find out for sure was to drive by Jim's house and see.

      Things get fuzzy again. I remember being in the car with Jeff and we were passing these big sequoia trees. I saw one house that had built its living room around the tree. I thought that would be so cool to have a tree in the house. I don't remember getting to Jim's house. And at this point there was no lucidity left.

    10. Groucho Marx, Singing, Traditional Boots, and a Christmas Party

      by , 06-24-2012 at 04:19 PM
      Haven't updated in a while, so here I am to post my latest dream!

      My sister is about to go to a costume party, and she’s walking around our room dressed as Groucho Marx. And I’m like, “Oh, nice costume.”

      In another part, my sister is watching a video on YouTube of this girl singing karaoke. And she’s like, “Oh, I know that girl. She’s a terrible singer.” The girl is singing something by Vanessa Carlton or Michelle Branch or something along those lines––can’t remember what song it is. But anyway, she’s not as bad at singing as my sister had said.

      There’s a panel of judges watching her, and they all have to give her a “grade” on her singing. So, all the judges give her an A except for one judge who gives her an F. And then everyone boos her for giving the girl an F.

      (By now I’m kind of … part of the scene instead of watching it. So yeah.)

      The girl’s father walks up on stage and he’s wearing these ridiculous knee-high boots. And he starts talking about how his boots are “traditional” of his culture or whatever. Then he talks about this traditional suit that he has, which for some reason I know looks like a red elf suit. Apparently this suit is some important family heirloom and it has never fit any of his children, so he’s upset about it.

      The scene morphs into a family reunion type thing … I think a Christmas party. Someone brings out this weird decoration, which is this Christmas tree with Santa’s head on the top, and it sings and dances. And my mom is like, “Oh, I made that a long time ago and then I left it behind somewhere.” So I start playing with this thing with a baby who’s crawling around on the floor––an imaginary cousin who I think is named Tim or something like that. That’s about where the dream ends.

    12. In Church

      by , 04-23-2012 at 07:05 PM
      I'm in a large church during the service. We start singing a piece that I don't know. I recognize the tune, it's some folk song, and sing along. It's a bit dark, hard to see the text. After the song candles light up all around the church and it gets as bright as if there were electric lights.

    13. Two lucid dreams in a row

      by , 04-19-2012 at 12:17 PM (Adventures in Dreamland)
      There was going to be some sort of party at my friend Jesse's house, but I couldn't find my car, so I asked my other friend DJ to drive me there.

      In the Anime Club room, my ex-girlfriend was there, but she was deaf. She started singing, but would pause every now and then as if she were trying to remember how to hit certain notes. It sounded pretty good, but wasn't the best thing ever. Class started so I wasn't able to give her advice.

      I had a false awakening. I walked into my living room and started looking for a sticky note to write my DJ entry on, but then I remembered to do my reality check. Lo and behold, I was dreaming. It was dark, so I couldn't look at my hands to stabilize myself, and when I tried to speak, I woke up. I could hear my sister being reeeeeeally loud in the other room so I probably couldn't stabilize because of that.

    14. Theater performance

      by , 03-23-2012 at 08:58 AM
      I’m at a theater, watching a play. The stage is huge, it consists of three or four large normal stages next to each other, each with a different setting. The action in the play is moving to the right, and I’m following. I’m pretty close to the play, not on a seat, but maybe on stage itself. It’s a romance, there is a man and a woman, they’re talking. I don’t remember the plot, but they woman is about to leave, and they may never see again. The man doesn’t want this to happen.

      As they are moving to the right, the male actor changes two times. He just gives a white scarf to the new actor, otherwise dressed exactly the same way, and stands still. The new actor becomes active and continues the role. The lighting of course follows the active actor. They seem to have slightly different skills and styles of acting.

      The woman leaves and the male actor changes for the last time. This one is a singer and starts singing a love song to the woman he lost. I’m surprised at how good he is, there is no background music to give him rhythm or melody.

      I was in a strange room with 5 other people. I was standing, they were all sitting. One of the people was my wife. She does not get Monty Python because she is from Mexico. I thought it was really weird that she was singing the Monty Python songs with such gusto.

      There were two guys with very good voices who complimented each other's voices very nicely. There were a couple more guys who couldn't sing that well, but didn't mess up the tune.

      One of the guys with a good voice wore a marching band outfit.

      They all sang thinking it was really funny to be getting into this Monty Python song...as it would be in waking life. I looked closely at the two guys with the good voice because I was surprised at how good they sounded even though this was like some kind of a gag.
