Morning of March 13, 2017. Monday.



The first scene involves wandering around in a mostly empty circus tent that is connected to at least one other one. We had apparently bought two-dollar tickets (for all the members of our family) to see some sort of comedic monologue and perhaps something else, but it appears that there is going to be no event as such when the time approaches. There are not that many people around. I am very annoyed that they are not going to honor our tickets. It seems like very bad business practice. The ringmaster walks into a different featureless area and talks about random subjects unrelated to their original plans and even seems annoyed by people expecting them to do a show. I get the impression that he does not care at all about honoring any of the tickets ever sold at any time in the various locations they travel to.

My family and I leave and soon find some sort of odd Halloween display at a park. There is a scene where Zsuzsanna is sitting in a swing on one end of a swing set (to my left as I am at a distance, though walking closer to the situation, approaching from behind them). Our youngest son is in the middle swing but there is an unknown boy (slightly older than our son) who is bullying our son (and to his right) and grabbing at the chain of his swing. Our son is trying to push him away. The unruly boy has bruises and scratches on his face and arms (though likely not caused by our son). As I approach, I tell him to leave and he does. I then comment, “Some parents sure do not know how to watch their kids or teach them anything”. Oddly, an unknown female who I first thought was the unruly boy’s mother unexpectedly agrees with me. (She had been sitting on the ground on the opposite side of the swing set, facing my direction) However, she turns out to not be the boy’s mother after all and has her own son nearby (to her left).

There is an unusual scenario where (stereotypical) Halloween witches are running around and randomly screaming at people. There is a short time where I decide to take on this role myself (and put on a Halloween witch outfit and wig) but I soon become bored of it as I cannot seem to scream correctly. It comes out rather course and not that loud. The patrons just look at me with slight amusement.

There is an unusual scene where an unfamiliar younger male in minimal Halloween makeup is playing two alternating notes on an electronic keyboard. It sounds similar to the “Jaws” theme. At the same time he is playing this motif, a set of French doors on the opposite side of the playground area open and close in perfect time to the note patterns. I do not find this scary but it does seem a bit curious. It is almost as if he is trying to give me some sort of clue about something (likely the preconscious indicating that I can leave the dream by going through the doors - or perhaps cause it to shift, even though I am not lucid).

There is a scene of a tall cylindrical structure that seems to be somewhat like an enclosed pile driver. A small metal structure comes down as our youngest son goes inside the building when he seems curious of it. It is just big enough for one person to stand inside in the center. The lowering structure pushes on him but does not seem that heavy or forceful even though I was wary of it at first. Still, he seems to have difficulty with his legs in attempting to get out, but does not seem injured and gets out on his own. (It almost seems like an unlikely composite of pile driver, elevator, farm silo, and a circus strength tester where the bell is rung. It may be loosely based on the playground rocket I sometimes explored as a child in La Crosse.)

In the last scene, I feel very cheerful. It seems to be nighttime. I am with Zsuzsanna and I eventually notice a huge object towering in the sky about a block away. It looks like the underside of a giant microscope with about eight objective lenses. However, I consider that it is some sort of movie equipment for recording a crowd of people. I find it awe-inspiring and try to get Zsuzsanna’s attention for her to look at it, but there seems to be something that is somehow blocking her view of it.

The second-from-last scene is an obvious but distorted waking precursor. It is like an incomplete elevator, and of course an elevator serves as a waking precursor or sometimes induction (just as in guided meditation and certain types of hypnosis). Still, the last segment indicated the consciousness shift (and a higher clarity) and a curious subliminal association with my conscious self in the habit of examining my dreams and dream self (as if with a giant microscope).

All NLs: I'm watching a tractor start to pull a house (a high school friend's house) and a guy from the paper I used to work with is there. There are men sitting in rockers on the 2nd story of this house and I ask what in the world they are doing. George says they're watching the animals (opossums sp? and raccoons) come out from under the house and then try to hit them with the house and when they do, the men hoot and holler. (Good gracious, where do I come up with this stuff?) I see several swinging chairs on the 2nd floor balcony which I think I'd like to have before they demolish this house. I go running towards the house to stop them from hurting the animals that are starting to come out from under the house. That's all I remember from that one.

I am with Lia and Jack (2 of my recurring DCs) and the three of us are on a swing set together. We aren't swinging though, just sitting on it. Also the swing set is in a strange location, I am lucid, but I don't think to do any big powerful things, For some strange reason I just want to sit and listen to my DCs.
The two of them are sitting to the right of me. Lia is talking about how she and Jack are going to get married. I am barely speaking and just listening. Jack is mostly just smiling. That is all that I can recall.

It is interesting how developed my recurring dream characters have become, particularly these two. I'm not quite certain what to think of them getting married however.

Come to think of it, I just have a sinking feeling about lucid dreaming in general right now. I've been putting a lot of effort into my technique but making little progress. My dreams feel less vivid and I feel less lucid than I used to.

Two of my dream characters (Jonathan and Marcus) have disappeared entirely. Jonathan was a 'Dream Villain' so hopefully we will never see him again, but Marcus the genius... What happened to him and all of his inventions?

Also what to make of the new dream character that seems to have cropped up, the girl with the robot arm? She resembles one of my cartoon characters. It would be interesting to see if she becomes something special.

Ok so as I am still working on getting my school sleeping pattern back in order and I had a late night at my friends house the night before, a few details are pretty hazey and I cannot remember any previous dreams as I had a lie in rather than writing what happened straight away.

So from where I remember me and a group of other guys were in some sort of large "bad guy's lair" type building and we had sealed our selves off into a room in the building. I'm not sure whether we were armed or not, but one of the other guys in the group stated that we would need to hold off whoever the enemies were (I cannot remember) until backup arrived. Having watched Battle: Los Angeles the night before it was hardly surprising that this moment in my dream was very similar to the final hold off scene in the movie. I remember at first we drew some curtains and shut some doors in order to remain as elusive as possible while the enemies were scouring the building for us. At some point during this we were found and my squad were fending off the bad guys. I can't remember how, but I found myself at the bottom of an elevator shaft in a basement separated from my group. I began to climb the side of the shaft when I noticed something constantly splashing on my back. I turn round whilst still holding on to my makeshift ascent ladder (using support beams) and realised that one of the enemies was shooting at me from the other side of a large barred opening that lead to outside. It turns out he was shooting blue painballs but they kept exploding on the bars before they got near me and therefore I was only getting hit by the splashes of paint. I then quickly ascended up the shaft and suddenly found myself instead ascending the side of a cliff very rapidly on what seemed like a calm and foggy day. when I finally reached the top i was unable to control my momentum and crashed out in front of a set of swings. I group of my friends and people I know from school were on them and I had to lie on the floor to avoid being hit by them. One of the girls jumped down on to me (not deliberately) and started laughing. We had a somewhat flirty conversation (which I enjoyed ofc lol) and she finding excuses to break the touch barrier. I'm certain at this point I drifted out of this dream as I probably got a little too overwhelmed that this girl who ignores me in real life was suddenly getting so friendly. I was tired though, and tried to think my way back into the dream scene. I did land back in the same dream but in a second hold off battle scene again, this one being almost exactly like the one in Battle: Los Angeles, except it was at night time, the sky was thick with smoke and the only light was coming from burning rubble around what appeared to be a semi-underground car park that we were in. The battle began as I cut to a scene where I was now flying in a very high up metropolis and then back to shooting some enemies in the carpark. Once the battle was over we all cheered and started talking as I suddenly found myself in a mix of the elevator basement from earlier and the high up metropolis scene. I noticed also that one of us from the group was my friend Charlie (who has been in a previous dream of mine too). I then woke up.

Once again a rather unusual dream which was great fun, but I wish I had been lucid in order to extend the swing scene and actually practise talking and being comfortable with this girl from my school. Oh well. I'm starting to pick up some re-occurring elements in my dreams, one of them being the fact that my two best mates keep appearing, so I'm probably going to start doing some subtle reality checks when I'm with them from now on.



This is somewhat what the final scene environment looked like except the light was coming from fire.

[COLOR="#483d8b"]Me and my brother J were in some neighborhood I was unfamiliar with. We were walking on a wide road, until I spotted a swingset (..really now?). On one of the swings there was a guitar, it was made of some dark wood and it had only max 8 frets. We sat down there and I tried to play some songs, but I couldn't remember all the chords xD. The guitar sounded nice, the tuning was perfect.[/COLOR]

I was at the park in my town. I walked into the park with intentions of going on the swings. I can remember seeing the two girls that appeared in the park in a fragment a few dreams back.
I just walked around the park, going on the swings. I think that some of my younger cousins were there and I was playing with them. I remember feeling really happy and good.
Eventually, the park began to morph as the dream went on. I think this took place while I was on the swings. The swingset got very tall, and each time that I swung, I could see a great view of the town in the distance.
Also, the park now had a small creek in a shallow valley. There were two paths running parallel to the creek. One right down by it, and another above the valley. Between them was a grassy slope covered in gigantic trees. I started walking down the path when I noticed a large creature that seemed to be attacking a group of people.
The predator was a very large creature. I can remember it having brown fur with black paws. It's face looked sort of like a tiger's or a bears, and It had huge claws, a very long tail, and a thin body. I can also remember it's thick, strong legs.
I climbed one of the large trees. Despite lacking handholds they were very easy to climb. I also remember the vividness of the tree while I was in it.
For a moment, I just stared into the canopy of leaves. The tree had to be several stories tall, and was, I believe a willow.
I the monster saw me, and I got down out of the tree. I started to run, and went though a crowd of people. I figured while the monster was attacking those people, I could escape, but the predator ran though the crowd and came for me.
I would not classify this as a nightmare because for some reason I was not scared.
One bite and I was dead. I did not wake up. The monster turned out to be some kind of video game where you were a monster that ran around killing people and the more people you killed, the more you could upgrade yourself to be a stronger monster, and your ultimate goal was to eat everyone on planet earth.
The dream was explaining to me that eventually the police and military would attempt to capture/kill me. This part of the game was the most difficult.
I can remember being put in control of the monster. I vaguely remember rampaging around killing people but woke up soon after.[

I am beginning to pick up on some of my dream signs. One of the possible ones is probably being in a forest/park setting. I'm not sure.

I was in the living room of my own house, and there was this convention-type thing going on. But everything in the convention including me was very small. I was probably only a couple inches tall.
The first thing I remember was this robot battle arena thing. There were these two robots. One was small and more human-like, while the other looked sort of big and hulking. I can't remember them actually fighting though.
Then, I went by the part of the convention where people were selling their old toys, comics, etc. I found a bin of action figures I decided I wanted, but I could not find the guy selling them.
I went up to the booth next to him and asked the guy standing there where the guy selling the toys I wanted was. he said he had already left and that the convention was over.
Then I realized that everyone was packing up and I just decided to take the action figures. Since the guy who left them must've not cared about them.

I was at the park by my neighborhood. I wanted to go on the swing, but there were two girls from my class on the swing.
"Crap, now what am I supposed to do."
Both of the girls jumped off and I got on one of them. Then the girls stood in front of the swing and wanted high-fives from me every time I swung close to them.

My husband and I find an ad for a nice house for a good price, so we decide to go see it. When we arrive, the lot of land is enormous, and the yard has a swing set. A small private road leads up to the garage. As we are shown around, we see that the house is incredibly spacious, with five bedrooms and three bathrooms. each room is very large. Both living rooms (there are two) are large enough to fit my entire current house in them. The smallest bedroom is bigger than my current living room. The kitchen has enough space for a second stove and fridge, but even with them would still have room for an island. In one bathroom, the shower alone is as big as my entire current bathroom, not to mention a tub in a separate area. The more we saw, the more we liked it. As wonderful as the house was, I couldn't seem to shake this nagging feeling in the back of my mind. I ignored the feeling as I opened a door to a small storage room. A tarp covering a pile of blankets inside began to move as if there was something underneath. I instantly sensed something was wrong. My heart pounding, I reached out and lifted the pile to find nothing there. Freaked out a bit, I quickly closed the door to the room. I found my husband and tugged his sleeve. "I don't know about this place, honey."
"What are you talking about, this place is great." We proceeded out the back to get a closer look at the swing set. I glanced in the bay window and some movement caught my eye. I noticed the clock on the wall, and the arms were spinning at an alarming rate. A chill went down my spine. I was suddenly aware of an unearthly presence, and the area around me suddenly got chilly. I rubbed my arms, and looked inside again. The clock hands were spinning even faster, and they suddenly stopped at 12:00. I glanced at my watch and saw that it was 2:15.
Out of nowhere, I heard a piercing, inhuman scream in the distance.
