This particular night was my most active lucid dreaming and OBE night ever! I’ve already journaled all the other experiences from that night and here’s the last one.

Prior to this particular experience, I had a hilarious OBE where my CPAP mask was covering my right eye, and I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t see out of that one eye. Anyway, I woke up after that, and then I went back to sleep physically, but my mind was conscious (This happened at my parent’s house). About a half hour later the vibrations started. They come in waves about every 10 seconds and last about 1 second and gradually increase in amplitude. When I felt the vibrations peaking in strength, then I leaped out of bed, OBE. I landed beside my bed and tore off my CPAP mask and blanket, piece by piece. And then I ran out the bedroom and went downstairs into the living room. Clarity was perfect.

My niece and nephew were sitting on a bench alongside the West window. They were looking at me with a shocked expression on their faces, and oddly, they were both very young. It seemed like I was back in time by at least 8 or 9 years. I’ve already had several a few LD’s and OBE’s that night and I guess I wasn’t very patient, because I went straight to my quest and sternly said, “Where’s Daughter?” (I should have greeted them nicely). My niece looked at me and said, “What? What do you mean?” Then I angrily said, “What, You don’t know who Daughter is? Have you forgotten about her?” My behavior had gotten way out of control! My nephew looked really startled by what I said, and he quickly jumped to his feet and waved at me to follow him, so I did.

He headed straight for the backdoor and pointed with his finger for me to go outside. It was nighttime, and it was raining. When I opened the backdoor I could see 2 youths and 2 adults walking across the backyard towards me. I couldn’t make out who they were, but when they got close I recognized my daughter! She was crying. The three others stopped walking, and one of the adults pushed my daughter towards me. She looked confused and upset. She was really young, maybe 7 or 8. I kneeled down and held out my arms and she cautiously walked up to me, then I said, “Daughter, it’s daddy!” She then recognized me and ran into my arms and started to smile and laugh, but she seemed giddy, and more in a state of shock, than happy. My wife then walked out the back door, gave me a look of displease, and then quickly turned her expression to happiness in an effort to comfort my daughter. I felt a little upset to how this OBE was playing out, and unfortunately I went back into ‘the void’, and then immediately had a false awakening with my wife. I actually thought I had awakened! My wife had a big piece of wood and she was dropping it on my bedroom floor. It was so loud and annoying, so I started to give her crap because she woke me up while I was trying to dream. Then I went back to sleep, not knowing I was already asleep.

This is short lucid dream I had a few weeks ago, and I’m trying to catch up. My 2015 goal is to journal every single lucid dream I have this year at Dreamviews. Fyi, I hand journal all my dreams because this helps immensely with improving my dream recall.

In this dream I was standing outside at 70’s style, business building. It was a cloudy afternoon. There was water behind the glass doors, at least 6 feet high, and water was spraying out around the cracks. I became lucid, because there’s no way this could happen. Suddenly, one of the doors flew open, and my Psychic Medium was washed out by the flood! She stumbled to her feet, soaking wet and dishevelled, and I said, “Hi!” She looked at me and said, “Hi!” The door closed shut, and the water was once again 6 feet high. I thought, it would be neat to go in there and swim around, because you can breathe underwater when you’re lucid. So I asked the Psychic Medium, “Can I go in there!” And she said, “No, don’t go in there!” and then I woke up. I should have stabilized!

Well, in this dream I was at the best store in the both the WW and LDW. You guessed it, Walmart! Not! My dream guide came up behind me and made me lucid (no idea how that works). I’ve seen this guy many times before, but I’ve never had a chance to ask his name. He always runs away immediately after I’m lucid, but this time I was fast on the draw, and held out my hand to introduce myself. He stopped and shook my hand with a surprised look on his face! I then asked him his name, finally, and he said, “I’m Jason.” I said, “I like visiting Walmart when I’m dreaming.” He gave me dumbfounded look and said, “Huh?” So I said, “Yeah, I like Walmart!” He said, “Okay, you are dreaming. Follow me.” By this point I totally forgot about my intent to have a little visit with my daughter, and so I followed him. The store slowly transformed into a bright white hallway, and I followed closely him. I could feel my lucidity failing, and I should have swirled, but I didn’t want to lose him. Unfortunately I woke up. I’m sure he was going to take me some place amazing.

In this second lucid dream, I was back in University retaking 4th year Sciences. I couldn’t figure out why I was retaking my 4th year since I graduated back in the 80’s. Maybe I needed some refresher courses, so I just went with it. Then I realized it was final exam time, and I had missed all my classes and assignments. Hey wait a second; this is one of my dream signs. Boom, lucid again! I walked into a campus convenience store and grabbed a bag of chips (I never use to eat in LD’s - thanks Dawneye11!) Three of my best buds from high school showed up. I couldn’t believe how amazingly the same, in all ways, they were to the waking world! It was truly startling. We sat down on the floor, in a ramp exit area, and started chatting. “Hey guys, we’re dreaming!” Bruce looked at me with some scepticism and said, “No we’re not!” I convincingly said, “Yes we are!” I offered the guys some chips, and told them they tasted good, and then Glen said with his usual big smile, “You can’t eat while you’re dreaming. Food doesn’t taste good.” I pushed the bag of chips toward him, “Try them, they’re delicious!” They all reached in and chowed down, and they all agreed they tasted really good. We walked off and I lost lucidity.

In this dream, I was on a facility tour, and I introduced myself to a manager. I told him my name and where I was from. He smiled then said, “Yes, the alarms went off when you arrived, and they announced it over the PA.” He smiled a little harder, and I found this a wee bit funny, then the dream ended.

I didn’t wake up physically, but I was consciously alert. In the waking world it was 10:00 Am. I felt some slight vibrations, and I figured I would try an OBE exit. I’ve never done this so late in the morning, but it doesn’t hurt to try, so I went for it! I jumped out of bed, but my butt caught the edge of my bed, and I was stuck, so I pulled really hard with my stomach muscles and slowly rose up to my feet. I did the traditional removal of my CPAP mask and blanket, but my vision was yellowish and really dull. I reached around my face, and all was clear, but I wanted to know what the heck was causing my dull vision. My first instinct was to leave the bedroom, and get as far away from my body as possible, so as not to get sucked back in.

It was 10:00 Am, and I was expecting to see a well-lit hallway, but my vision was still dull and yellowish, so I headed off to the bathroom to take a look in the mirror. To my surprise, my eyes were closed! How could this be? I tried to open them, but my eyelids just wouldn’t open, so I raised my hands up to pull my eyelids open with my fingers, but my fingers passed right through my face, and I couldn’t feel anything! I then heard my daughter laughing behind me, so I turned around to give her a hug, but I couldn’t see her because my vision was so crappy. I decided to go take a look in her bedroom to see if she was there.

Her bedroom was even darker then the hallway because the window blind was closed. In an effort to find her I crawled around on her bed feeling under the covers to see if she was there, but no luck. I ended up back in my bed and I saw a quick hypnagogic image of my daughter’s face before I woke. She was smiling ear to ear due to the hilarious situation.

I was standing inside a castle (lucidly inspired by Dawneye11’s castle quest). There was a huge gothic room, displaying many ornate objects, and it spanned for at least 40 yards. There were a few dream figures standing around me, and I decided to take a flight to the other side of the room to help stabilize. I picked a spot on the far wall, and focussed on being there, and I quickly flew across the room, and then I returned back to be with the dream figures. One of the dream figures asked how I flew across the room, and I replied, “I can fly simply by focussing on where I want to go, and zoom, off I go!” I didn’t mention anything about the lucidity being a contributing factor. The other dream figures watch and listened with interest. Then a man dug a big hole in the floor and started to pull out piles of gold dust! I lost lucidity because I was totally enthralled with all that gold. The rest dream was spent trying to get the gold out of the castle.

In this dream I was standing at the top of the stairs at my old home, and then my daughter came running up the stairs with a dark haired friend, whom I didn’t recognize. Can you say instantly lucid? We hugged for long time, and at one point we both cried, but I composed myself and asked her, “Who’s your friend?” She quickly said, “That’s D______ (I didn’t catch the name), my friend from Heaven!” I gently placed my daughter down and turned around and gave her friend a big hug too (I think I teleported a few feet towards her), but this poor little girl totally freaked out, and her eyes turned reddish with fear. Usually my hugs do wonders while lucid, but this little girl didn’t like that at all. My daughter firmly said, “Dad, don’t hug her, because you’re scaring her!” I felt upset because I scared her, and I woke up.

Wake Back To Bed (WBTB) after 4 ½ hours of sleep. Read about lucid dreaming for a ½ hour. Said my mantras and then looked at pictures of what I wanted to dream about. Setup the pillows just right, got comfortable, and then i stayed perfectly still, while I relaxed my mind. My body went to sleep, but my mind was awake. After about 20 minutes of nothingness, except a faint glow, and the odd flashing blue and purple lights, I focussed on having a handful of pennies in my right hand. Slowly a stack of pennies appeared and I held it in my right hand. All else was black. Then I dropped the pennies, but they didn’t fall, so I grabbed them again. I kept repeating this until the pennies fell and scattered, then I reached down with both my hands and scoped them up, repeating the relaxation exercise until I slipped closer to the twilight zone. There was no sound.

I wasn’t dreaming yet, but I was having hypnagogic imagery. The pennies disappeared and I was no longer in control over what I was seeing. A dog kennel appeared in the blackness, and it started to rotate very slowly. I relaxed and kept my mind free of thoughts, and I simply observed. The kennel faded away and dark storm clouds appear, followed by a tornado, and I started to travel around the tornado bodiless (remote viewing). It was an eerie green color, and then it quickly cross faded into an amazing panoramic of space. Flickering little stars were everywhere, then I heard a woman say, “Aren’t you scared?” and replied, “No way! This is amazing. I love it!” I then started to travel through space, and it looked like the Enterprise going warp 9.5, then space ended, and I was once again in the darkness. Suddenly huge translucent cubes started to appear, and I traveled in a straight line right through them, and they were all connected. I heard a voice say, “You shouldn’t be here because this isn’t your reality.” I said, “Let’s keep going, this is cool!” Translucent cylinders started to appear mixed in with the cubic structure, but then I slipped into a dream, and lost conscious awareness.

I was standing in my childhood bedroom looking out the window (not lucid). The clarity was perfect, and everything was as the waking world. The big tree in the backyard had blown down, and the sky was cloudy and gray. A beautiful woman, in her 20’s, walked up behind me, and I turned to face her. I thought, “Who’s this beauty?” She had medium length, reddish, blonde hair, she was absolutely gorgeous, and her smile was stunning. We carried on some casual conversation, while I was thinking real hard about who she was, why she was in my bedroom, and why I felt like I knew her. I asked her name, but she wouldn’t tell me.

She turned around, stacked the pillows up on my bed, and then graciously sat against them. I sat at the base of the bed and said, “You know, I think I’ve seen you before, you were in the backyard, but your hair was longer.” She said, “No, that wasn’t me!” I said, “Really?” And she replies, “Yes that wasn’t me.” I looked at her very closely and said, “Yes, I know you from somewhere.” She smiled and happily replied, “This is marvellous! We’re having a really good conversation and visit. You’re lucid right now, right?” I thought, “What is she talking about? Lucid, I’m not lucid, this isn’t a dream, and how does she know I’m a lucid dreamer? Wait a second, maybe this is a dream?” I questioningly asked her, “What, am I lucid dreaming?” After saying that, I became lucid and then instantly woke up from the pure shock of it.

I just finished a dream where I was cruising in a jeep that I use to own back in the early 90’s. Jeeps are really fun to drive, especially with the roof off, and windshield down! I gotta get another one! This dream was very vivid and I was on the verge of lucidity, but the dream ended just as I was figuring it out.

After the dream ended, I was lying in bed consciously aware, but my body was asleep, and shortly thereafter I started to hear music playing, and then ‘the vibrations’ started! This is very exciting when this happens! I leaped out of my body and stood up beside my bed, and then I struggled (as usual), to peel off my blanket and CPAP. I was twisting, and turning, and tearing at my face to get all this crap off. When I was done, I looked down at the bedroom floor to see my CPAP mask, hose, blanket, CPAP machine, transformer, and power cable all twisted together in a heap beside the bed. My body lay right on the bed right where I left it, and I looked very much asleep. Music was still playing. There was a computer monitor and key board setup on a night stand, but there isn’t one there in waking life (at my parent’s house). Hmm let’s see what this is about.

In the bottom left corner of the black, monitor screen was rectangular icon about 1.5 inches wide by .75 inches high. The icon was lightly shaded gold. On the right side of the icon was ancient, gold, balance scale, and on the left side were gold ‘Predator’ type symbols that were scrolling and continuously changing. It was very interesting. When I pushed some keys on the keyboard, the screen flashed something quickly, but it went back to a black screen with the icon in the corner. I started calling for my daughter to join me, and then I opened the bedroom door and headed out into the hallway.

I saw somebody walk past me in the hallway, but the person were transparent, and there was a wash of bright blue light that flashed through them. Then a second transparent person came from the washroom, and they both walked into my parent’s bedroom, so I followed them. When I walked into my parent’s room, one of them walked right through me, like they couldn’t see me. Then my mother in-law, who passed 14 years ago, walked past me, touched my arm and smiled, then said something to me, but I couldn’t hear what she said, because I had my earplugs in. The clarity by this point was perfect, and I was able to identify one of the transparent figures as being my middle sister. I reached forward and grabbed her by the shoulder and I said, “Sister, can’t you see me?” She immediately became solid, and she said my name with surprise!

I said, “Sister, you look so young! How old are you?” and she proudly replied, “I’m 17!” She had the biggest smile. Meanwhile, the second transparent figure became solid, and she was my mom. She also looked really young, like in her late 30’s. I said, “Mom, it’s me! You look so young! I’m now 50.” My mom had a total look of horror on her face and she immediately looked at the ground. I felt upset that I startled her, and then I was back in ‘the void’ again.

The music immediately started playing again, followed by ‘the vibrations’, so I tried to OBE exit once again. I landed on the floor beside my bed, but I slipped on something, and landed on my butt! My arms went through the floor, and I started to struggle to get up, but it was like I was pushing against air, and I just couldn’t do it. I was too close to my body, and I was getting sucked back in, so I gave up, and ended back up in ‘the void’ yet again. I stayed there for what felt like a very long time, and I eventually lowered my consciousness level enough to enter into a dream, but I wasn’t lucid. I think I lost consciousness during the transition. It actually was a cool dream where I was talking to my oldest sister through an oval portal, and then I ended up throwing slippers at her jokingly.

In this dream I was putting a garbage bag in a trash compactor. I neatly pulled the edges of the bag around the metal frame, and then slid it shut, but then I realized something was wrong. My kitchen doesn’t have a trash compacter! Bingo, I’m lucid! I look around the kitchen trying to remember my mantra. Then I remembered, “Give my daughter a hug!” I felt a rush of adrenaline go to my stomach (an uplifting feeling), but then everything went black, and I was now in ‘the void’ (NRem), consciously aware, but my body was asleep.

Shortly after, ‘the vibrations’ started, and I successful jumped out my body and landed on the floor beside my bed (OBE). Same old problem though, my blanket was over my face, including that dang CPAP mask and hose. I found the only way to remove it is to tear away at it piece by piece with my hands until all seems clear. This visibility was kind of dark and blurry at the start, but it improved as I left my bedroom (my parent’s house); however, I could only see out my left eye. Now what’s going on? I paused and focussed on increased clarity, but I still couldn’t see out my right eye. My dear dad then walked out of the bathroom and started to laugh at me, and he said, “You’re dreaming again, aren’t you?” Giggle, giggle, and then he told me to go look in the mirror, so I headed into my sister’s room to have a look.

Well, to my surprise, that darn CPAP mask was pushed up over my right eye! That’s why I couldn’t see! I quickly tore it off. That’s it; I’m going to put a mirror on my bedroom door (at home). I was shocked that I looked ‘normal’ in the mirror, I wasn’t all freakish looking and distorted, like what happens most of the time in an LD. This was kind of odd (for me), so I went right up close and studied my face in the mirror for anything that wasn’t supposed to be there, but all looked normal, right down to the gray hairs in my beard. I paused for a moment and I found this very intriguing. My dad was still giggling away in the hallway, so I turned to him and said, “Dad, give me a break, it’s really hard to get all this CPAP crap off when I OBE exit!” He laughed even harder, then my vision went black, and I was back in bed again. I found this experience quite entertaining too dad!

I repeated this mantra continuously last night as I drove out to visit ‘the folks’. No worries, I was alone. Btw, my wife and son would kill me if they had to listen to this:

“I WILL realize when I’m dreaming, and I WILL BE lucid. I WILL realize when I’m dreaming, and I WILL BE with my daughter.”

I verbally repeated it for 40 minutes as I was driving, just before bedtime. I fasted from lunch until bedtime, and then I ate one can of tuna, 100 mg B6, and a B multivitamin (washed down with a beer). I wrote out the mantra 4 times in my Dream Journal, and I also wrote out in big bold letters, HUG TIME DAUGHTER! WBTB after 4 hours and then I took 4 mg red spider lily extract and 200 mg choline. I had the best dream experiences ever: 2 lucids, 4 successful OBE’s, 3 failed OBE attempts, and 3 pleasant fun dreams, plus one hour in Nrem (the void). I also voice recorded each dream occurrence, immediately after each dream, and repeated the mantra a couple of times. Yes, I briefly woke up about a dozen times last night, but it was well worth it. The voice recordings allowed me to record what’s happened, without completely waking me up, and then I did the written journaling in the morning using the recordings as ‘recall’. Here’s the best lucid dream (I’ll add the other ones later):

I was false awakened because somebody was touching my back. I opened my eyes and I was lying on my left side in a huge bed which I didn’t recognize. About 5 feet away, in this huge bed, was a dark haired teenaged boy, who was quietly sleeping on his back. I stared at him, and thought now this is odd, there’s a teenage boy in my bed, and this isn’t my bed! I quickly closed my eyes, and I figured this must be some sort weird nightmare!

I opened my eyes again, and now the boy was lying on his right side facing me with his hazel nut brown eyes, staring right into my eyes. He had a very slight grin. I instantly became lucid!!! So I said, “Hi!” He casually replied, “Hi.” I quickly asked, “Who are you?” He then said something, and I could hardly hear him because I had my earplugs in, so I sat up in bed and leaned towards him, and I said, “What did you say?” He sat up in bed too, and moved towards me, and repeated his mumbling. I said, “I still can’t hear you?” Then I felt somebody touching my back again! What’s going here?

I said, “Who’s that (behind me)?” Then I felt somebody push against my back, and I could see blonde, curly hair drooping over my left shoulder. Then I heard my daughter say, “It’s me!” I quickly turned towards her and said, “Daughter!” She smiled ear to ear, and then I said, “Give me a hug!” She gave me the biggest hug ever! Then I asked her, “Who’s your friend?”, and she replied, “Huh, Oh, that’s Kenny!” Unfortunately I woke, because it was very emotional, but I stayed perfectly still in bed to try and get back into the LD. No luck, but suddenly ‘the vibrations’ started, and tried to OBE exit, but no luck again. This was a short, but a fantastic LD.

In this dream I was with 4 or 5 spies, and we were deep in Russia. I won’t get into the details of what happened, and I’ll focus more on the lucid part, but we crossed through woodlands, small towns, country side, and then we finally ended up in a city. We were being pursued by a woman in white dress, so we decided to blend-in with the locals by sitting in the back of a church. There were lots of people sitting around chatting. Then, this old woman beside me leaned over and asked where I was from, so I told her, and she replied she lived there too until she was 23, and then she moved back to her small town where she spent the rest of her life.

I jumped up and ran to one of the church’s windows and looked outside to see if all was clear for us to leave, but the woman in the white dress was standing alongside the church, and she saw me! I quickly turned around and ran out the back of the church and down a long flight of stairs. I was trying to go so quick that I flew down the stairs and around the corner. That’s when I realized I’m dreaming! Yeah, I’m lucid! I could feel my vision fading so I immediately took to flight. I flew across a small field; about 15 feet off the ground, and people were standing everywhere, staring at me. The tree line was coming up, but I wasn’t gaining altitude. I focussed on being at the tree tops, and this helped, because I flew immediately to the tree tops. My clarity was excellent at this point, so I decided to fly into a 3rd storey window of the church. I did so, and landed in an empty room. My clarity was fading so began to swirl. I swirled and swirled, but I felt like I was back in bed again, so I gave up and recorded the dream on my voice recorder. This voice recorder is cool! I woke up with 9 dreams on it.

In this dream I became lucid (DILD) and then was taken to a lounge full of other lucid dreamers. The lounge was guarded by a giant of a man named Jack Lee. Here’s what happened:

I was hiding behind a building, peaking around the corner, at a train that was coming. There was something bad about the train, but I can’t remember what. Several of us ran into the building to hide from the train, and then a man told me that I was dreaming. I became lucid, but my vision was fading fast, so I told him I need to swirl, and he must wait for me. As I swirled I could see him standing there watching me. After about 10 or 15 seconds of swirling my clarity was perfect.

He said to me, “I’m lucid too, follow me downstairs.” When we got downstairs there was a mountain of man standing just inside a basement lounge area. He was a 7 foot tall, black, and he was built like Arnold S.! I reached up and grabbed onto his 3 foot wide shoulders and said, “You must be a football player!” He looked down at me and shook his head and said, “No!” I asked him if he was lucid, and he said, “No.” I then asked him his name, and he said, “Jack Lee”. He then quickly showed me a piece of paper with my daughter’s name on it, and then he tucked it away. I guess I should have asked for my daughter to join me in the LD, but I was a little bit unsure if this was a safe place or not. Jack Lee stood there carefully watching who was entering and leaving the lounge. I figured he must be a guard, or maybe a bouncer.

There was another guy standing beside Jack Lee. I asked him if he was lucid. He replied, “Yes, I’m waiting for somebody.” I then walked into the lounge area and saw several pairs of people sitting at tables and talking quietly to each other. I approached one the tables and saw an alien looking guy and a human being with paper and pens working on complex differential equations. I said to them, “Ah, differential equations, are you guys studying for a University exam? I took that course!” They both quickly turned their calculations over and looked at me with shocked expressions. I asked the alien’s name, but I couldn’t pronounce it, and I’ve never heard anything quite like it. I asked him to write his name for me. He then wrote on the back of his paper a very long name. He held it up to my face and asked me if I could read this. It was a bunch of symbols, and I said to him, “What kind of name is that? It looks like Greek to me?” He gave me a disappointing look. I realized later after I woke up that he was actually showing me a differential equation that describes points forming some sort of plane, but instead of using coordinates X,Y,Z, he was using coordinates reassembling i,n,t,f, and something else (5 coordinates, not 3). The letter ‘i’ was very unique in that the dot of the ‘i’ was actually a large circle, and the letter ‘n’ looked more like an upside down ‘U’. Part of the equation started off with something like ‘iniinnnit’. He then sat down with his human friend and started to work on their math equations again.

I looked around the room and observed several pairs of dream figures interacting with each other. They were all just sitting there intensely engaged in conversation. I felt like it was time to leave, so I told the alien guy I need to go now. He got up and shook my hand, and said it was nice to meet me. I then loudly announced to all the people in the lounge, “Thank you for having me here at this amazing, wondrous place!” A few people looked at me and smiled with gratitude, while some others looked like they were thinking, “Please be quiet!” Some were shaking their heads with disapproval. I then proceeded to walk past Jack Lee towards the exit. I couldn’t help but notice a window, which had a view of a barren waste land. This made no sense to me, since we were in the basement. Incongruities while lucid really distracts me, and it made me wake up (I should have swirled again). I really had a sense that this was a safe place, mostly because Jack Lee was there.

This dream was a Dream Induced Lucid Dream (DILD). In this dream I was rebuilding a boat. I had the sterndrive out of the boat and it was lying on the floor in the corner of the garage. The steering controls were on the workbench and I was disassembling them. Suddenly the sterndrive started to raise and lower for no reason at all. It wasn’t connected to the boat, or the battery, so I went over and took a closer look. Then it stopped moving. I thought this is very odd, and this isn’t possible, but I brushed it off and went back to work on the steering controls. Then the sterndrive started to move up and down again! Hold on here, this isn’t possible, I must be dreaming again! I then paused and thought about what I should do while lucid, and then I remembered my plan to heal my son’s plantar wart. There was a doorway leading out of the garage, so I decided I would go through the door and look for my son, but I woke up. Darn, I should have stabilized first by swirling

In this lucid dream I was standing in the foyer at my parent’s house (I entered this dream lucid). I walked into the living room and saw my little sister lying on the coach watching TV. She looked in her 20’s, and she wasn’t at all surprised to see me. It was nice to see my sister young again, and it really took me back. The clarity and vividness was perfect. I asked how she was doing, and she said, “Good!” I then asked where my daughter is. She replied, “I think she’s outside playing with her friends.” She stood up, put on her brown coat, and I followed her outside. There were a bunch of kids playing on the street, and then I saw my daughter standing on the rocky outcrop beside the road! She looked about 7 or 8 years old. I then called her name, and she looked at me, smiled, and then she morphed into somebody else. I stopped and thought I must have mistaken somebody else for her. I was very excited about seeing my daughter and I woke up.

I entered this dream lucid after being consciously aware between dreams. The scene resembled Venice with the waterways running between towering ‘old fashion’ buildings. My dream guide John was sitting across from me on a pontoon boat as we enjoyed sipping on a couple of ‘cold ones’. The boat was moored to walkway alongside a tall building. Suddenly a tsunami wave came racing down between the buildings.

The wall of water was only 4 or 5 feet high, so we were safe, except now the water was rising higher and higher, and current was insane. People scrambled into the buildings as the water rose, and were running for their lives! I continued to sit in the pontoon boat sipping on my drink watching the drama unfold. Our pontoon boat was now risen up to the 3rd storey balcony, and other boats were smashing into us. Dream guide John then stood up, approached me, and said, “Tie up the boat to the balcony! Quickly!” I thought, seriously, I’m enjoying all this excitement, while sipping on this drink, but okay, I’ll do it, so I said, “Sure.” I put down my drink carefully, so as not to spill it, and then I jumped off the boat and onto the 3rd storey balcony with the rope. The patio doors were open, so I decided to look around inside. It was a typical apartment, nobody was in there, and I looked around for something to tie this rope to. There was a stationary bike beside the doors, so I tied it to the bike frame. I went back outside and jumped on the boat beside dream guide John. I was starting to get into this dream!

I looked at dream guide John and said, “This is very exciting! I really like this dream. This past weekend, in the waking world, I was laying vinyl flooring in my bathroom and I buggered up my neck, and it’s really sore. I’m having a hard time sleeping. While dreaming my neck doesn’t hurt, so I would like to stay here for a little while longer please!” John smiled and put his arm on my shoulder and said, “Yes, I know. You’re welcome!” Boats were piling up everywhere because of the tsunami. He then pointed towards the front of the pontoon boat and said, “Go that way, and jump onto the boat in front of us.”, so off I went.

I did as he instructed, entered the boat’s cabin, and found myself walking a down a log hallway inside a building. I thought to myself, “This dream certainly isn’t following the realities of the waking world very well.” At the end of the hallway I found an old Irish style pub! Okay, this was good! Dream guide John then brought me a huge mug of beer, and I took a big drink. It was delicious! Then, to my surprise, my dear Aunt Patsy (who passed in the 90’s) walked in the doorway. She walked past me and sat at a table. I walked up to her and said, “I recognize you!” She then transformed into somebody else and smiled at me. I asked her name, and she said, “Kim.” Next, I asked where she’s from, and she replied, “Winnipeg.” I thought to myself, you’re not Kim, and you’re not from Winnipeg, you’re my Aunt from Ontario. I then thought I’d be tricky and ask her last name, but she said she couldn’t remember. I asked why she can’t remember, and she casually replied, “Because I’m dreaming, and I can’t remember who I am when I’m dreaming.” She was giggling at this point, and I told her, “I’m lucid right now, and I remember everything about myself! How can you not even remember your name?” Are you lucid? Who are you really?” By this point I was being surrounded by about 10 dream figures who were all intently listening to our conversation. Dream guide John then pushed through the crowd and grabbed onto my wrist and dragged me across the pub into the lounge area.

John placed both of hands on my shoulders. Looked me straight in the eyes, and said, “You can’t go asking people their identification while lucid or we’re going to take away your lucid abilities!” He was looking real angry and his skin turned all red with yellowish polka dots. He then shouted, “Don’t do that anymore!” I said, “Okay, but please explain why I can’t?” He then yelled, “Because you will be given a kayler!” I said, “What’s a kayler?” He then said, “You know, a kayler!” He then demonstrated holding something in his hand, and he was poking it forward, like as if he was probing for something. I started to feel upset, so dream faded and all went black, and then I woke up. I definitely don’t want anybody giving me a kayler, no way! Keep that kayler thing away from me John!
