During the beginning of the dream, I believe I was in some sort of church on an island, though I think there was a funeral on the lower floor, there was a room on the top floor that was meant for video games and gaming education. Though I am a huge gamer, the room seemed boring, though I would have been entertained by all the old games they had, like DOOM. Once that was over, I had lost a sandle, so I was told, that I was wearing, though I was looking at myself in a third-person view and I had both sandles on, which sempt somewhat confusing, though I then realised I was playing some sort of game and in real life (at least in the dream) I had lost a sandle. I ran out to find my character that I was looking at accompanied by three other people. One of them was my best friend in real life, while the other two just looked like random people. We then jumped in to this futuristic looking boat, that went quite fast, but it seemed as I had trouble getting the others to come into the boat with me, but I did eventually. As soon as the boat started moving, we were being chased down by a load of policemen and gang members who shot rapidly at us. We then hit a ramp that pointed us underwater, it was then that I closed my eyes and could only hear strange noises, which seemed to be accurate since I have aquaphobia in the ocean. We came back to the surface before soon crashing into an island with a single, yet poorly designed house on it. It was at this point that I got the strange idea that my family lived there. Once we exited the boat and got onto the island, I started hearing dialogue from the game Saints Row 2, that is when It came to me that the whole world had graphics like the ones in the game. The rest of the dream is somewhat unclear. I do remember meeting with my so-called family and finding my sandal , but that is about it.

Fragment 1
Saw an almost paper thin yet several inch wide termite creature. I used air bubbles to insulate its underwater nests. Somehow these bubbles are also like portal tunnels for the termite to crawl through. In order to eat the termites will freeze wood making it dry out and easier to chew up.

Fragment 2
Jumping scene to scene of trying to find my through a mountain path / 3D puzzle maze. Girl friends graduation plans and such things in my life come to mind.

3 amazingly vivid and long lucid dreams in 2 days?!?! I must say...im doing quite well. For those of you who don't know what the Dream World Academy is please look here .

I was driving down a small street in a haunted looking down where all of a sudden the ground started shaking. I gasped and stopped the car. I got out and tripped from the shaking. I slowly got up and looked around, panicked. The shaking became more and more violent and suddenly huge boulders started rolling towards me. I tried to run away but they kept following me. I looked in the dark sky and saw the letters: DV. The first thing is reminded of was Dramviews. Wait! Why was I in this town running from...boulders? I was dreaming! It was such a cool way to become lucid! I turned around and kicked the boulders and they exploded. The very first thing I decided to do was try to find the Dream World Academy. I ran away from the town like Flash and just expected to find a castle or something. Instead I found an ocean. It was stormy and the waves were extremely high, but it was inviting me in. One of my goals was to go on an underwater adventure so why not? I jumped in. Everything underwater was clear but had a different look to it. Almost...foggy. I continued to swim looking for anything when I bumped my head into a wall. I was about to say "Ow" when I remembered it was a dream. No worries! I examined the bricks closer and found a door. The door was diamond-like and covered in seaweed. I opened it. Inside the walls was a HUGE castle. The castle had 4 big white glass domes surrounding it and a seaweed garden. The castle itself was a greenish blueish color and looked triangular shaped. It had a tower at each point. I walked up closer to it and noticed people staring at me. Then the doors of the castle opened and a mermaid swam out. "Welcome to the Academy! Here You will be able to take any classes you like including swan diving! I just learned how to swan dive!" she said in a Musical voice. "Hi! Thank you! The Academy is beautiful! What's your name" I said to her. "Joslyn" she replied. "Can you tell me more about the academy? I have to report back to Dreamviews." I told Joslyn. "Ah..yes I heard about your Dreamviews mission from other academies of the world. Well this academy started when a young boy Grew up in an academy far away. He came here and used powerful magic to create these very walls."
I nodded and walked inside the castle. The walls were made out of white marble and were very clean. There were TONS of hallways everywhere and I walked into a random door on my right. "Welcome!" a small elf-like man said to me. "Here you will learn anything you wish." I was trying to think what I wanted to learn. "Teach me how I can swim faster in my dreams." Suddenly I was in the middle of the ocean with the castle nowhere in site. He looked at me and made a circle gesture with his thumbs. A bubble ring appeared around him and he swam through it. Right when he entered the ring he flew forward very fast. "Just keep bending your thumbs like this!" I tried it and blue bubbles appeared in front of me! It was amazing! I was shooting across the water faster then ever. Suddenly I was back in his classroom. The teacher was nowhere in site. I closed my eyes and wanted Joslyn to appear. When I opened them she was there! "Hi Joslyn. This dream has been amazing so far. This academy is amazing. Do you mind if I come back here and visit again in my dreams?" "Come anytime you want! And invite your friends from Dreamviews!" She pointed up and where I looked up I could feel my eyes opening in real life. I woke up

This was probably one of my favorite dreams I've had so far! I've been extremely lucky with 3 lucids in 2 days I doubt ill get one tonight .

I was in a very large body of water.
I was swimming around, and I thought it was really weird.. But cool.
My mom told me it was actually a huge movie theater that you can swim around in.
I swam around, and I saw this one girl I became good friends with earlier in the dream.
I went to the bathroom but I had a hard time getting there because of the water.

Suddenly I was in a place called Vienna, somewhere in Italy.
It was the most beautiful place in the world.
The sky was so amazingly blue, and everything was so colorful.
My dad said he needed to put something in a GPS.
We then walked down to the River of Vienna and started sailing down, each on tiny inner-tubes.
I saw a lottery machine on the edge of a bridge and it looked so majestic (awk), but seriously.

At one point, my dad was right behind me.
I accidentally turned around and sprayed him with water.
He made a loud bird-like screeching sound and started charging angrily towards me with his inner-tube.
I thought he wanted to hurt me, so I splashed him again.
He grabbed his eyes in pain while making that weird bird screech.

I woke up very confused.

So when I became lucid last night I was able to go back to the dream I had about finding the Lost City of Atlantis 2 nights ago.

In my dream, Atlantis was a stunning underwater city about the size of a large town. The main base at the center of the city consists of a spiraling column ascending upwards into a spire-like peak. When inside, there are a variety of water fountains and sections. The city has a cloaking device rendering it practically invisible. Though it cannot be seen regularly, as it blends in with the water, it will appear visibly under the moonlight of a lunar eclipse. It floats around with the ocean current presently, but used to stay put.

At the base of the spiralling tower was a large blue stone, shaped like a layered cake. It has many light-blue crystals sticking out of it that can be removed. These crystals, upon closer inspection governs many of the city's functions such as its ability to shield its interior from the huge pressure exerted by the water on the outside. It emits a "Containment Bubble" that refracts light from the outside (rendering it invisible unless exposed to red moonlight) and maintains a breathable atmosphere on the inside, and it controls and stabilizes the limitless amounts of incoming water that flow throughout the structure's aqueduct system. It also acts as the city's "engine" that propels it through the underwater depth (which is also one of the reasons explorer have failed to find this place).

In this dream, I was in for a long series of races in a highly oxygenated form of water (only without bubbles of any kind). You could actually breathe in this water! As the race started, you were at a corner somewhere in this area on a platform with, I think, about 5 to 7 other racers. When the race started, the platform lowered you into the water. For almost every time in this dream, I held my breath all the way through this course. I was so much slower than everyone else was and bullies constantly picked on me in this dream. Though I managed to find my way weaving even by some underwater pizza restaurants and the such. At the end, you were bursted out and thrown up a ways. The finish line was just ahead. I had the special ability of gliding in this dream. What time I lost in the water, which was a serious amount, I made up for gliding as I could easily reach a speed 4 to 5 times faster than one could run, yet, even with this big advantage, I was almost always dead last in the race.

In the next race, basically the same thing occured, and I ended up in the same finishing position, near or at dead last. The bullies every time picked on me and every time the glide at the end saved me a few times from being dead last. I got used of the bullies and found a way to get in 5th place out of 8. While the burst up was occuring, start as fast as I could in the water before the burst. This gave me a like 4-mph extra speed for about 8 or so seconds, enough to give a boost of nearly 47 feet, a significant gain, though hardly anything.

Finally, just before the dream ended, someone told me that you could breathe in that water. I also told the bullies that were picking on me to shove it aside. Though, as the race started again, I think, the fifth or sixth time the race occured, I tried to breathe in the water and it worked well. Yet, I was now 30% faster holding on 4th place in most of the race, occasionally getting 3rd and 5th. In all cases of this dream, I already knew of a racing tactic: hug the sharp corners as much as possible and take the most direct route possible. Then, when I bursted out, because I was 30% faster, I was going about 5 mph coming out giving me a much bigger boost of 58 2/3 feet. Here, because my gliding ability saved me big, I came in first in the race! The bullies were extremely upset that I won and they came in 3rd and later. The friend that helped came in second. It was such a peaceful and amazing ending, so much I wish I could revisit the dream [thus hoping it reoccurs as a few of my dreams have].

Today, I had my first lucid dream.

I had just been in another dream and was in a dark, mysterious room thinking about it.
I was slowly walking towards a huge glass window, which took up the entire wall opposite to me.

Suddenly I began thinking, "Hey wait.. What if this is a dream.
I should reality check". So I plugged my nose and and did an RC.
I could breathe!.. However, my dream consciousness believed this was normal..
So I was not yet lucid.

All of a sudden, I realized something was strange.
I looked out the huge glass window and EVERYTHING was underwater!
All these amazing colors, lights and calming ripples!
Across from me was a hotel building, built on the sand of the ocean floor.

This is when I realized I was dreaming.

As soon I became lucid, a faint, peaceful song was playing in the background.
After a few days of searching, I found it is almost identical to the first few seconds of the song "Lisa Miskovsky - Still Alive".

I was way too excited, and things began to become hazy.
Things were swirling very fast, and I was losing the dream.
I tried rubbing my hands together to attempt to stabilize the dream, but when I opened my eyes, I was looking at the ceiling of my room..

Heather and I get a ride to the beach. Its really dark out. The water has come up to the side of the road, so we get out to look at this strange phenomenon. Heather and I get into the water and try to catch otters. If you catch one, you pay $90 dollars and it becomes your pet. There are other otters for $100 and then $120. While we try to catch them in the ocean, I look underwater for a second:

Beneath the water, we were not actually in an ocean. It was a bright room filled with water. There were windows looking out into a green country scene. The floor was hundreds of feet away. People were riding underwater chariots, being pulled by bears and apes who were held in rope all around their bodies, yet somehow they could still swim. I became frightened and looked back above water: we were still in the dark ocean at midnight.

Lucid Dream 203: The First Blow
Series: 108 Stars of Destiny, Episode 7
around 2:00pm
DILD



I'm in my kitchen with Chris R and he is packing a bowl. I watch him hit the odd looking device and I proceeded to do the same. It looked like one of those small, square dental floss dispensers that you get after a visit to a dentist. The top was opened, weed stuffed inside, it was fired up, the top closed and you hit it from the bottom of the device. You carb the weed by opening and closing the top lid. I got a monster hit out of the tiny device and was straight f***ed up. We were now outside standing at the corner of the road. We were in my neighborhood at the top of my hill. There is a large fenced-in field on one side of the road. Me and Chris are taking turns hitting the strange floss dispenser when I noted a truck driving up through the field. The truck smashes through the pathetic wooden fence and stops on the side of the road. Zac R hops out, bong in hand, and we began passing it around.

Another car pulls up. Cliff and Jess get out. Jess looks mad about something as she walks toward us. I say hello and she greets me with a swift kiss. She then walks down the road in anger. Cliff walks up and I immediately hand him the bong. I ask, "What was that all about?" He told me she was still pissed about the previous ordeal. In the dream I understood what he meant, now I have no clue. I now noticed everybody was dressed up in prom-like clothing. Cliff looked down the road and said, "Yup, its about time we head in for the ball." I told everyone to meet me in my room in an hour and I would have the bong already packed. We all walked down the hill and into my castle. Once I entered, I became lucid.

My castle had grown quite a bit since the last time. I was in a long red carpeted hallway. There was a door on my immediately left that lead into a large dining hall. I peaked in. The main lights were dimmed and candles were placed on the rows and rows of tables. There was some sort of celebration going on that resembled a fancy ball/prom. I decided to familiarize myself with the new castle design. I walked to the end of the long hallway and descended a flight of stairs down to the ground floor. There was a double door on my left that led into the same dining hall I had peaked in before. To my right the path curved around the wall to reveal an extremely fancy indoor pool in the center. If you walked passed the top of the pool, there was a door that lead to two connected rooms. One was empty and one was a guest bedroom. I exited this room and flew across the pool. There was a bath/sauna on the right and left of the pool. I flew back across the pool, up the stairs and back to where I started.

The hall curved from where I entered the castle and continue in the opposite direction of the dining hall/stairs/pool. I opened a door and found myself in the grand hall. I walked passed the main entrance to the stairs on the other side. I went up three flights of stair to the fifth floor. This was where my room was (I just knew). I entered and decided to change clothes because I was wearing a jersey. I put on a suit, but couldn't find any pants. I just wore my boxer briefs with the suit jacket and tie. I walked back down to the main hall. There was a butler at the door and I shouted, "Hey George! Off the next man that walks through the door, $500 for his pants." He nodded his head and I entered a nearby room. There were a group of people with a map of the castle trying to locate the dining hall. I decided not to help them and exited the room.

George was pinned against the wall and tied up by some sort of blue magical netting. Security guards were helping him out when I heard George say, "Lord Seymour Guado attacked me when I offered him money for his pants!" I walked into a different room and the same group of people from before were looking at a map. I decided to help them and told them to follow me. I lunged forward about to take flight and one of the group members, an attractive brunette, grabbed me my the hair and pulled me out of the air. She said, "Not right now...it isn't safe." I wondered what the hell she meant, but decided to heed her advice. I took them to dining hall. I sat down next to the brunette and she noticed I didn't have any pants on. She told me to follow her and she would get me some pants. I figured, why not.

She lead me to the guest bedroom. She said, "If we get you some pants on, you will be able to dance with me." I replied, "Or we can leave the pants off, forget about dancing, and let me show you some moves in here." I leaned in and we began kissing. She pulled away and I undressed her. She had large breasts to say the least. We began floating in the air and I realized that we were actually underwater. She was amazed when I told her that we were dreaming. I performed oral on her for a few moments and she did the same. I decided not to go all the way because the dream was so incredibly vivid at the moment (didn't want to mess that up). I carried her over to the bed and laid her down. I told her I had to attend the ceremony and I would be back.

I flew through the castle and found a door that lead to the backyard area. There were people gathered all around the large fountain in the back. There were sparklers and fireworks going off everywhere. Suddenly, there was a swooping sound and a cloaked figure was standing atop the fountain. He removed his hood to reveal a man with a red/orange goatee. His eyes were solid black and his voice silenced the crowd, "This is our world, dreamer! Everyone here, shall die!" All the fires/candles.light sources went out and it was pitch black dark. I heard people screaming and the sound of blades clashing with stone. I felt around the ground and found a tree limb. I immediately turned and blocked, what seemed to be, a keyblade. I pushed whoever it was back, and focused on the sky. I rose the moon from the horizon and it was massive. It provided plenty of light and I could see chaos everywhere.

The goatee man was standing in front of me and I grabbed him by the throat and launched him through the air. I followed his soaring body and attempted to summon my keyblade. I felt metal hit my fingertips and grasped the keyblade. It felt different though, so I looked at it. It resembled the broom sticks from "Fantasia." There were multi-colored stars for the key ridges and the handle was the brush part. I swung the keyblade a few times, and boomerang shaped light flew out of the keyblade and slammed into the ground. I swing it several times and rocked the goatee man with the energy blasts. He ran as I followed him to the edge of the woods. He took flight and shouted, "Lord Bryce. Remember thy name dreamer!" He flew over the forest and out of site. I turned and flew back to the castle.

The castle was on fire and there were bodies everywhere. I walked inside and the whole castle had been ransacked and destroyed. All the survivors were gathered in the main hall. I told them I was off to search for a new castle and if any of them wanted to follow, step forward. A broad, balding man in his 50's, with blonde hair and a matching beard, stepped forward. I asked him who he was and he said, "I am the father of Varro (a character from the series "Spartacus"). I am a blacksmith and I would be honored to join you. He told me his name was Duronde. One of the maids walked up to me and kissed me. We made out for a bit and I said, "So long my sweet." Me and about 10 others left the castle. We were now in a completely different setting.

It was daytime and we were on a dock. I spotted someone familiar. It was Jeane (a character from the Suikoden series). She was wearing her Suikoden V outfit. I also noticed a young girl following her. The girl wore an identical outfit to Jeane's. I called out to her and noticed a bandit was sneaking up behind her with a knife. I performed the flash step technique (from the anime, Bleach) and grabbed hold of a rope that was conveniently placed underneath the bandits foot. I pulled it hard and the bandit fell into the water. I knocked him back into the water several times, before he slashed my arm with his knife. I then choke slammed him onto the dock, bent close to him, and whispered in his ear and said, "I will knock out every tooth in your head and personally implant every last one in your ass. I will then pay a homeless man 20$ to to fill the holes in your gums with his shit. I then released my grip and he ran away scared to death. I asked Jeane to join the army as our Runemistress (an expert on magic/runes). She thanked me for saving her and agreed to join. I took Jeane by the hand and took flight. We flew low over the water. She wrapped her arms around me and we began kissing as we flew. I awoke as I began to rub my hands all over her body.

This dream was a long one for sure .

Something about people who work in a fast food place are not allowed to wear jewelry or make-up. Well duh that sounds like every fast food joint D;

I'm in a house where it's dark and there are odd pictures that are 3D I put my hand into one and grab a rusted metal rod and when I try to pull it out it starts sucking me into the picture (it might have been a painting I dunno) it starts to rain.

Some evil guy trapped us underwater, a giant turtle is attacking us we try to use our shindan to kill it but we cant find an opening (tegami bachi instead of insects)

I'm walking through a tunnel and At the end is an opening , a man says I don't have to build my own home someone can build It for me. I think I go back inside the tunnel and there is a spring inside where an old ferret trains me but only only wanted some ford because I was hungry. I go out again and the ferret transformed into a limo and I go off with my family :/

I was in an underwater world where people travelled by these strange sorts of cages, when i noticed i was underwater i panicked but a DC told me it was ok because they changed my lungs, i decided not to take any chances and hold my breath, so for a while i was being pulled around by those strange cages and then i was on the highway beside my home ( this is it, therre a 50 m drop beneth it http://www.atmb.net/IMG/jpg_ROUTE_AP...TUNNEL-1-2.jpg ) and i was grinding a rail down the middle in my shoes, i alipped and fell on my nuts , i looked down and saw my pants were torn and my b*ll sack too, then i'm at the swimming pool and my coach says i'm fine and gives me some morphine, i walk around there for a while then my coach comes up to me and says "show me your motor functions" so i started saying numbers but then i couldn't control it and the left side of my face goes numb and limp, i understand i'm having a stroke. I hold out my hand to him with my fingers spread and say five , i look at my hand and see i actually do have 5 fingers then my dream fades to black

"Undergroundwater"

I was in a small, snow-covered town. The town was very close-knit, and everybody was friends with everybody else. Many of us were playing a huge game of manhunt (Thanks to Sam and Lisa, for bringing that up!), and some people were even burying themselves in the snow, for hiding places. I remember one of my female friends changing clothes and trying to blend in with those pedestrians who weren't playing. I don't remember much of the game, itself, besides digging through the snow and tryin to find some of the people hiding within it.

At one point, though, a bunch of us ended up falling into what seemed like some sort of mine/tomb, deep underground. It was a huge chamber, with story-telling drawings and other enigmatic patterns on the walls. We spent a while exploring this chasm, joined by many other townsfolk, who had followed us down below. After some time of poking around the chamber, someone pressed a 'button' that activated some sort of mechanism. The floor beneath us began rumbling. Fire jetted upward, like geysers, from all points around the area. The fire spouts gave way to small explosions, which were soon too much to withstand. We all ran off of the rectangular floor area, fleeing the basin and up to higher ground, looking down at the spectacle below us. The ground opened up; black stone cracking down the middle and splitting apart to swallow the flames. Beneath a few feet of stone lay a crystalline pool of water. It was, easily, half the size of a football field, and took up most of the chamber. The slabs of stone flooring peeled away and locked into place, out of sight, leaving us all to stare, in awe, at this huge pool that had opened before us.

This was just too weird. The 'tomb.' The huge, underground pool. The spectacularly explosive 'booby trap.' The realization just hit me, as we were all standing there, gawking in apprehensive awe. I was dreaming. It was the only logical explanation. As soon as I became lucid, my excitement rang out through the chasm. I yelled out to everyone - knowing that they were all stricken with fear - that "THIS IS A DREAM!! IT'S NOT REAL!!" I seemed to have been more reminding myself of the fact, than actually trying to get a point across, to these dream characters. But they all took it as just as much a relief as I did.

I led the charge, and we all ran down the steps toward the enormous pool, jumping into the water with no further anxiety about what might have come from the explosive chain reaction we'd just witnessed. It instantly turned into an enormous pool party - our dozens of party-goers secluded away within this cavern of ice and stone. Even though the pool seemed to be just a hole in the earth, it was clearly marked with the paintings of a regulation swimming pool, as if just swimming in it was the main reason for it being there.

While in the water, I was showing the DC's some "lucid tricks." I focused on my own body, and lifted myself out of the water with telekinesis, hovering just a few inches over the surface. Everyone looked on, in wonder, while I floated above the water. I felt really heavy, and wasn't sure that I could keep myself hovering, the way that I was, so I decided to get a little more control of the situation. I released my telekinetic hold on myself, dropping into the water and sinking down to the floor of the 15-or-so-feet-deep pool. Once my feet touched the ground, I pushed off as hard as I could, bursting up through the surface of the water and soaring up to the ceiling - some 30+ feet above. I slapped my hands against the warm stone ceiling and pushed myself back down into the water below. There were a few other people in the crowd copying me, flying up and out of the water, touching the ceiling and splashing back down, afterward.

After some playing around, I got out of the water and walked around the area. Everyone was having a great time. I saw that some of the characters had gotten into some vampiric hedonism; slumped in a corner with blood streaming down their faces, obviously having fed on each other just because it was something to pass the time. (I would call that random, if not for the vampire dream I had, the other night.) They all looked completely drunk. I just walked passed them and continued on, taking in the sight of my surroundings. One of the girls in the group called me over to her, asking me if I wanted to go back to her place for some "one on one lucid fun." I just kind of smiled at her and waved her off, not wanting to waste this lucid on sex - though the thought crossed my mind.

Much more time had passed, and I began to realize that I'd probably be waking up soon. By this time, my lucidity began waning. Even though I still knew I was dreaming, I was thinking of these dream characters more as sentient beings. I called an assembly together, and made a small speech, simply conceding to the possibility that these could all be conscious entities within my dream. I told them all to "remember the dream", because we would soon be waking up, and our memories of this moment would be fading quickly. I told them to go back over the events of the dream, in their minds. I told them to remember the game of manhunt, and falling into the mine, etc. - basically recounting all of the events in the dream. Above all else, I knew that I would be waking up soon, so I wanted to just go ahead and end it. Not really wanting to leave everyone else, I gathered a group of them in the center of the chamber, and we all lowered our heads. When I was sure I had enough of the dream's details to carry over into waking life, I put all of my energy into waking up, and pulled my eyes open.


Dream (Fragment) Two:
I was at my old house, in Canterbury. A pizza woman - and what I can only describe as her bodyguard - walked into the house, with a large stack of pizza boxes. They said that they had "like 1000 pizzas here, for free, if [we] wanted them." She also told us that the only catch was that the crust was like 2 months old. I wasn't very comfortable with this, but someone (I believe it was MW) said that he'd be more than happy to take them.

Later, we were hanging out, outside my house, with a bunch of people - some of which, I think, were from the previous dream. My daughter was with us, and she kept wanting to fall asleep on the ground, and kept rolling around in the spot of oil in the garage. After a while, my mom came home, and - for some reason - she hung most of my artwork upon the wall, in the house; just various, loose sheets of paper tacked to the wall, all over the living room.

Don't remember anything after that.

I was scuba diving with my instructor on the face of a giant wall covered in coral & plants. A stingray appeared out of no where & was pretty amazing to watch as it undulated on its way up the wall. It attacked my instructor, but not with its tail. It had two big fangs/talons that came out of the top side & really messed him up. Then it attacked me. I tried to whip it with something & caught it on the "nose". Don't remember how this one resolved or if I just woke up.

Second dream I was in the backseat of a car that was parked with the break set. The car started rolling back, then moving forward. I grabbed the wheel & drove the car around the parking lot in a circle. Once I had circled a full revolution, I was back to where I'd been before but the parking lot was different. I realized this was a dream & decided to fly. While flying I remembered I had lost lucidity last time because I closed my eyes, so I tried to make sure my eyes were open WIDE. When I did this, I opened my eyes in bed & I was instantly awake. Bummer.

Missed dream signs:

- Did not remember how I got to the underwater wall/scuba diving site.
- Stingray was not anatomically correct.
- Can't whip things underwater.
- Cars can't move when the break is set.

[Fragment] I'm in dream!Las Vegas, passing behind the back sides of several of the large casinos. There is a wide strip of empty desert between me and the buildings.

[Longer dream] I'm in a sort of club with dark-brown wood on all the walls, being followed around by a cartoony-looking blonde girl with pigtails, close to my own age. While I'm there, I get a phone call from the coordinator of our tour group (yes, I'm on a tour as part of a tour group) saying that they're offering me the opportunity to extend the tour for a couple of hours, and if I want to take them up on it, I should meet them at the nearest [some kind of store whose name I can't recall].

So I head for the exit of the club. There are steps leading down from the door of the club onto a large, open space of concrete, which is on a street corner. As I leave the club, I realize that I'm surrounded by several of my favorite actors, who are leaving it at the same time as I am. Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor are there, and I hear Patrick Stewart's voice. I don't speak to them, though, because I don't want to bother them with my fangirling while they're trying to hang out and have fun. I know that I'm in Barcelona, and that the club I'm just leaving is known for being a popular hangout for famous people.

Out on the street corner, I see the aforementioned some-kind-of-store directly across the street from the entrance to the club. It has a green awning with white letters on it. I decide not to go there, though, because I see all the other people from my tour group walking along the street and turning the corner to go up a side street. I decide to stick with the group. The cartoony-looking blonde girl is part of the group, too, but she hasn't come out of the club yet. “She'll catch up,” I say, and start walking up the street with the group. The street goes uphill. We walk several blocks, turn at least one more corner, and end up on an open-air elevated light rail car. I sit in the corner seat on the end of the car that points in the direction it's traveling. It starts moving and goes really fast along the track. It's quite thrilling when it turns a corner, and I cheer and whoop in exhilaration, as if I were on a roller coaster.

Eventually, the track for the vehicle we're in ends abruptly, high above a river that has broad beaches along its banks. Somehow, the vehicle has morphed into one of those circular whitewater rafts, like the ones they have on Grizzly River Run at Disney California Adventure. Our raft shoots off the end of the track and starts falling toward the river. I know that we're not actually falling all that distance, because we're inside a simulator ride. The raft starts tumbling and turning end over end as it falls through the air, but I don't feel the sensation of being turned upside down, and I know that that's because I'm not actually being turned upside down, it's just the video in the simulator ride making it look like I am. Just before our raft hits the water, I realize that it's going to hit with enough force to plunge pretty deeply into the water before floating back to the surface again. I hold my breath just to play along with the simulation, even though I know it is one, and, indeed, there is no real water; I don't feel wet, but I see the deep-green-tinted underwater video all around me. [LOL! Maybe this is what happens when MILDing is only partially successful? ]

Awake, Non-lucid, Lucid, [Commentary made while awake]

Last night, my WBTB went on for nearly fifteen minutes, due to my trying (and failing) to figure out what it was that had gone thump and woken me up. I think it helped me attain lucidity. I should do WBTBs that last that long more often.

I'm bicycling along a sidewalk that winds through grass along the side of a street. Every so often, the sidewalk rises up and becomes a little bridge that allows water to go under it. It goes up-and-down and side-to-side so much that it's a little difficult to bicycle on.

I'm in a building with a group of my Literacy AmeriCorps friends. We're in an open, interior space that runs through several stories of the multi-story building, and has lots of staircases and landings in it. My LAC friends are standing around on the staircases and landings. We're talking about the party that's going on in a room upstairs. One of my friends says that, in order to get in, you have to bribe the guy watching the door in a “touchy-feely” way, e.g., by touching him in a sexual way. I absolutely refuse to do this. At some point during this conversation, I realize, “This is a dream. I can't really be talking to these people.” [I haven't seen any of them in reality since the program ended; we don't even live in the same state anymore.] Then, a bunch of unidentified guys come up a flight of stairs from deeper in the building and start trying to molest me and the other girls with their hands. As they begin to surround me like a flood, I realize this is turning into a nightmare, and try to leave the scene by closing my eyes and turning around. Once again, it does absolutely nothing. The guys start getting their hands on me, and achieve their goal of discovering where my erogenous zones are. I'm scared and shocked and I wish it would end, so it does. I wake up, and go back to sleep shortly afterward.

I'm in a room where I and three of my LAC friends, one other girl and two guys, have been staying. I find a guitar in the closet. A tall guy I don't recognize is also in the room. One of us asks, “Who in this room plays guitar?” and the other answers with “Lisa C.” and one or two other names. [I can't remember now who said what, or what the other two names were.]

I'm in a giant, room-sized aquarium. It's rectangular and about twelve feet from floor to ceiling, and all but the top three feet are filled with fresh water. One wall of the rectangular room is covered with small, enclosed plastic boxes, each containing a different kind of fish. You can open up the doors on the front of each box to let the fish out into the larger aquarium. I'm swimming in the water and can apparently breathe under it. I'm playing with the fish that are out in the larger aquarium, trying to get them to act out some scenario, but it isn't working out too well because there's this one carnivorous fish with big, pointy teeth that keeps eating most of the smaller fish. Eventually, it even starts eating another fish that's bigger than itself. I swim up to the very top row of little boxes, one of which contains a Blue Tang. I think about letting it out, but decide not to because I'm not sure if this one is a freshwater fish or not, and because I don't have very many of that kind. At this point, I discover that I suddenly can't breathe as easily under the water, and I realize that it's because the top three feet of the room are now filled with water, too. [Yes, I realize that doesn't make much sense. No, I didn't realize this during the dream, nor did I realize I was dreaming.] I go to the end of the room and start trying to get the door open so I can breathe the air outside the room. It has a wheel on it that you turn to open the door. While I'm still trying to open the door, before I can either drown or get it open, I wake up. [Dude. That was pretty cool. I wanna go back and play in the aquarium room again sometime.]
