Non-Dream Dream

Dream 1:

I am at a fancy dinner or wedding with my wife. The food and service sucks but I still leave a huge tip.

Dream 2:

I am in lab with TA and DM working on new methods. DM has a primitive dilution machine. We put concentrated sample in A1 of a 96-well plate and the machine serial diluted the sample into all of the other wells. MM is also there and it is the morning of the layoffs. I left my blot at room temp on the shaker overnight by mistake. I am interviewing for jobs remotely. DM has some of his friends vouch for me - one of them in Jonathan Schoop from the Orioles.

Dream 3:

I am watching a baseball game. Trout hits a lazy fly ball to right field. The right fielder goes back to the wall, times his jump well but still drops the ball. Trout wasn't running hard but gets a triple out of it.

Dream 4:

I am watching a commercial on tv. There is a guy driving a Prius. You think he is very good for the environment. He pulls over to the side of the road and takes out a big hose and puts it in the sewer. He dumps all of the crap he used to do into the sewer. Clouds gather and a corvette explodes out from the hose. Not sure why but this was hilarious in my dream and right when I woke up.

Dream 5:

I am taking a cat to see a doctor. I go through an old, run down building with lots of bums. There is fire/lava around. I get to the room with the doctor at the end of the hallway. It is a very large and dark room with an uncomfortable table in the middle. The doctor is Einstein. (I think he shows me the commercial I describe in dream 4) There is a screen above the table showing streaming stock tickers and prices. DOW is up and EBAY is down for the day. I have a very strong bond with the cat. She (the cat is female) is getting molars pulled. After getting them pulled she says that her leg hurts now. I fear for the cats life because I have realized that I love her deeply. I look at her leg and am relieved to find that it is just a growth. I communicate to the cat that everything will be ok and I was shocked when the cat understood me and communicated back somehow. The cat now turns into a beautiful woman who I have apparently always been in love with (in past lives too). The feeling of love is indescribable. The woman looks like a girl I knew from way back named Emily. We go outside of the doctors room onto a dock next to a huge lake. I playfully push her into the water and jump in after her. We hug for what seems like an eternity.

3/8* Before going to bed I didn't have much hope for an LD after an exhausting 2 days of physical activity but it was looking up 5 hours in during my WBTB and I felt confident. Poor recall during the non-lucid portion of the night. Fragments: 1. something about getting galantamine as a prize or for free as a reward. 2. The sport I was playing last night. LD: I'm outside and the lighting changes markedly from brighter to darker. I look around thinking that's strange, it's night time. I look to the sky and there is a light source behind the clouds and just as my sc tries to explain that it was due to clouds passing over the moon I realize that I am dreaming! The change in lighting was just too stark. I'm in a back yard and go into the house looking for a DC. I had planned to go back to last month's TOTM before doing another current TOTM because I loved the concept. I asked a random female DC "Who is my true love?...give me their name please?" She responded "L" (spelled out first name hidden here for privacy). I immediately thought of my very first girlfriend, she had the same name "but I haven't thought about her in years and I broke up with her and I never thought of her as that special...could it be a different 'L' " I thought during the dream. I told myself that it was time to move on. I went out through the front door wondering where I was and found I was stepping onto the street in front of my childhood home. I start heading towards the creek but that reminded me of a childhood run-in with the neighborhood bully and I walked up to his door and busted down the door with telekinesis. I walk inside, find the neighborhood bully and knock him a round a bit. Hmm...twice lately I have committed violence in an LD which is unusual for me. Having had enough of that, I thought of a goal I had planned for my first step of the 3 step tasks for the xcompetition that combined well with one of my personal goals but it required me to be in my current waking life locale. I do a closed eye teleport and arrive in front of my current home. I immediately start to float/fly towards and over the high tree line nearby and it feels so wonderful. I momentarily consider visiting Girl Friday but decide to continue with my goal of flying to the city, above and around the city and then towards and over the coast. I start flying somewhat leisurely checking out some local landmarks before deciding I should pick up the pace and start flying very fast and arrive at the city. My vision has become a little less vivid and I fly up to the top of one of the tall buildings and look around. I probably could have spent some more time working on the vividness but I decide I may not have much time and continue with my plan to fly around the city in a big circle at super speed. I end up in the void before feeling myself returning to my bed awake. I try to re-enter the dream just in case, but it seems apparent that I am too awake after that nice LD. 115

Awareness work type: retracing my steps (&looking at myself from the outside)+RC/visualizing goals
Pre bed: review of recent dream signs: stars, tram/variation, my fam, ex's; cliff/grass/ocean/sand visualization
wbtb: around 4.5 hours, did same as pre-bed + SSILD

Non-dream Dream

I am in a world sort of like the Hunger Games except instead of having to fight to the death we are all forced into a swimming competition. I am undergoing intense swimming training and competition in brutal conditions. There are dead bodies and blood in the water. I meet a cute black girl during training and we fall in love. I comfort her and help her through the brutality. The judges begin to fall in love with us. We both win the competition against all odds and we give speeches to each other at the ceremony in front of the whole world. Everyone loves us and we have our first kiss in front of everyone. At the end we go our separate ways. I have her phone number. I desperately want to text her to just have lunch or something - to have a chance at a life together. I hesitate because I notice my wedding ring on my hand then I wake up.

This was truly an epic dream and I recalled it in great detail every time I woke up throughout the night. I chose to enjoy it and try to continue it (which I did) every time I woke up instead of writing notes down. Therefore I forgot most of the details but I woke up with strong feelings of true love. Very powerful.

Other people in the dream: brother, wife, IA

Non-dream Dream

A couple of crappy fragments:

1. I am at a resort on a top secret mission. I betray one of my best friends AC by not including him in the mission - he was pissed.

2. I am body surfing on huge waves.

3. I am with TB and it felt soooo good holding her. I would literally melt when she would ask to lay on me.

Non-Dream Dream Lucid Dream

Dream 1:

I am in lab and I want to take a look at my coworker's (NG) cells under the microscope. She begs me not to look because they are precious but I promise it will be OK. For some reason I put the plate of cells under the sink instead of the microscope and I fill the plate with water - ruining her experiment. I lie to her and say that some new girl bumped me while I was looking under the microscope and that caused water to get into the plate. She gets really mad then turns into a hideous woman who tells me I'm hot.

Dream 2:

I make a trek to Mexico on a motorcycle with my lab mates.

Dream 3:

I meet a beautiful Asian girl on some crazy packed campus - probably UCLA. It might have been a festival. I am playing some weird basketball game in waste deep water - I think this is where we meet. It was love at first sight. She immediately trusts me so much that she gets into my car to drive her to her house. I am driving an automatic black Honda. We park somewhere that resembles a desert and take a very difficult path to her house. I have to climb an almost vertical dirt wall. She had no problem but for some reason I had trouble doing a pull-up. We are worried about rattlesnakes. I crack a few jokes about getting bit in the face (smooth).

We get to her house and start playing video games. One game is a betting game where we bet on whether or not we can complete a maze. Other games were virtual reality. We fall in love but I know that my wife is back at home. I mention something about sex and she tells me she can't or something. I say I know and neither can I. She tells me that she would be content with sleeping on my feet / cuddling like really good friends. This makes me extremely happy - true love.

Dream 4:

I am watching a strange baseball game from the stands. My team (USA I believe) is losing by about 25 runs. Players can choose whether they want to hit baseballs or giant credit cards. The cards are very difficult to catch and the kids are having trouble in the outfield (I think it is the little league world series).

Dream 5:

I am having sex with my wife. My penis is about 5x bigger than usual and I have a giant condom on. She makes me stop because it feels too good and there are people close by.

WAKE UP FOR ~30 MIN

Dream 6:

I get back to bed and start thinking about being at a baseball game. Since the last game I went to was a Giants game I naturally start visualizing AT&T park and the view from my seat. At first it was just a thought then I slowly starting gaining more and more clarity on my visuals. After a couple of minutes I was THERE AT THE STADIUM. AWESOME!!!

I perform a reality check by climbing some rafters above the seats. It was incredibly easy so I concluded that I was dreaming. I take off flying over the stadium - very high up. This lucid is extremely vivid. I want to test the reality of my lucid. I recall looking down at my shadow, waiting for it to appear after passing through the roof shadows and sure enough my shadow popped up right when it was supposed to. I was amazed that my mind was able to produce it so perfectly.

It was a very windy day and I loved feeling it hitting my face when I was flying. I tried thinking about what to do next. I couldn't think of anything cool so I decided that I wanted to have sex. I left the stadium and was flying over the bay. I summoned some hot chicks in a boat but I had trouble stopping / slowing down. I was flying very fast. Each boat I passed I summoned more hot chicks but I couldn't stop. Finally I landed in a boat. I started banging this smoking hot chick but quickly realized that her dad was also in the boat. I wished him away and continued. Unfortunately I "woke up" shortly after.

Dream 7:

I am in bed trying to find a place in my dream journal to record my lucid experience but I there were no available pages. (false awakening)

Suddenly I am in some kind of subway station with my brother. We are trying to figure out how to get to an amusement park.

Then I wake up for real.

There was a large group of people leaving the cliff top and going to the other side of the valley. The cliffs curved in a U shape, the people were going down the right side of the cliffs at the top of the U. There was a natural embankment there. I was left watching them from the farthest point of the cliffs. There was a few others around me still though. In fact, someone was trying to decend the cliff near us using a harness and a cable. But the cable got hung up in telephone pole wires. So, she couldn't get down any further and was stuck hanging there.

I was able to grab the cable she was using, got some slack in it, and proceded to feed it through the other wires that it was caught on. I thought that they were electrical wires, but I didn't get zapped so I kept on doing it. When she was safely on the ground I joined her. We were walking together, I had one arm around her, and she had her arm around me. It was so nice. Then we stopped and looked at each other, and I kissed her. I realized that we shared true love, and she knew it too. It was so real it actually hurt when I awoke and realized it was a dream. I felt heartbroken for many days.

Last night I had a dream, I was meeting with the Disney Princesses (1937-2009-Snow White-Tina) at Cinderella's castle. I was telling them about the problems I had at home and how I felt "trapped" and how I felt "I can never be the perfect girfriend/or the perfect daughter/now I see that I wasn't meant to play this part/Now I see if I was truly to be myself I would break my family's heart." Than I told them that I was going to move into residence at the college and the (1937-1959-Snow White-Aurora) princesses asked "What is college?" the newer princesses (1989-2009 Ariel-Tina) exlpalined what college is. But when we were talking there was a knock on the door. I had a hunch it was Disney villians-and my hunch was correct once I looked out the window. Unluckily Lady Tremaine once again had Cinderella's fairy Godmother's wand.

I told Cinderella that. But I always happen to have magic up my sleeve (LOL) and I "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo" the villains back to Maleficent's castle. I listened outside the door of the room the villains were meeting in and they all asked "Who is that woman?" I magiced myself up to the baloncy in that room and I said "I'm a woman who still believes in dreams and the magic. But techinally in my opinion your are all codfish." Than I flew back to Cindy's castle and than we continued talking about college and stuff the new princess said I "should go for it." Than I went "home" (which in this case was a small cottage I lived in by myself) and guess who appeared at the door? Gaston. Lines from the movies happend-in the house scene and I gave him another dose of mud.

I than folllowed Gaston back to the M's castle and I heard them (the villains) talking about having to "Get rid of that woman." (me) in their meeting room. I than raced to Cindy's castle. All the princesses asked after I got in and closed the door behind me "What's the matter?" I told them the incedient with Gaston and Belle interrupted by Belle saying "You gave him another dose of my mud medicine?" I just nodded and I told them what I heard at Malifcent's castle. Than a knock came at the door-it looked to be P. (a boy I know) and I asked him if he would mind me just examing him for a second (I thought he might have been a fake)-he wasn't.

I than sent him to the room where the guys were in. Than went back and Cindy and the others said "How about we forget about the villainis for one night and have a ball." (after asking me who the boy was-I just said he was my boyfriend) I didn't have a gown to wear but the others were helpful and made me a gown that was a mix of colours: blue for Jasmine/Belle, pink for Ariel, and red for Mulan. Than everyone went to the ballroom that night, and P was nevours since he never done a waltz before-I told him just to follow the men. We danced for a bit and somehow dance outside. Than I started singing (Disney) waltz songs starting with "So This is Love" and ending w/ "Beauty and the Beast". After all those dancing P and I were in love. After the last dance I told P. "Remember to believe in the Dreams and the Magic."

The two afternoons after the ball, a maid shouted there was the castle was on fire. I magiced up a fire alarm and pulled it. In the middle of the rush outside I got kidnapped-I know I was kidnapped since someone put a hand over my mouth to prevent screaming. I was taken to a M's 2nd castle and locked into a room. I did say "Let me out".

The Disney Princess and P noticed later I was missing-since I wasn't in the castle, and I wasn't in the thatched cottage. Ariel checked in w/ her dad if there had been anyone done there, and Snow White checked with her 7 friends. The answer was always negative.

In the mean time I was stuck in the room, and the fireplace opened. I was too booksmart to go into the fireplace but I also was too curious. The curiosity part run over and I went into the room behind the fireplace. I than went up 4 flights of stairs and I ended up in another tower room the only thing in the room was a chocolate bar . I ate it and fell asleep. I was placed back inside the locked room, but this time on the bed and w/ chains.

The Princesses' animal friends saw what happened and went to communicated it w/ the Disney Princesses. But considering everyone was trying to communicate at once-it was a bit hard to unstand until the Prince Adam (Belle's prince) shouted "QUIET!' Cinderella asked "Jaq what is it that everyone is trying to say?" Jaq replied "When the fire 'happend' when everyone was racing outside Anne got kidnapped and she was locked into a room in Malifcent's second castle. Somehow when she was in there the fireplace opened, and at first try to prevent herself from going into the room, but her curosity won over and she went into the room. When she reached the top of 4 flights of stairs she went into a tower room, and there was a chocolate bar" Snow White interrupted "It was a poisned chocolate bar wasn't it-she fell asleep didn't she after eatting it?" Jaq just nodded.

Then the Princesses and the Princes tried to convince P. to rescue me. But he wasn't sure he was up to do it. But he remembered what I said about believeing in the magic and dreams. After P got convinced, all the princes pitched in items that might be helpful for P. In the end? Good over evil won-thanks to pixe dust, and beilieving in the magic and dreams.
