5/23/06 – Failed RC – In my dream I was being attacked by a bear. It had me pinned on the ground and was standing over me with its maw wide open, its huge teeth inches from my face. I was horrified. Suddenly I realize how strange this situation was and wondered (or desperately hoped) that I was dreaming. I was trying to remain perfectly still, trying to play dead….yet I needed to look at my hand to do an RC. I shifted my hand slightly, glanced at my fingers out of the corner of my eye and counted….1, 2, 3, 4, 5. I panicked at this point because I believed that I was awake. I closed my eyes tight and waited for the bear to sink its teeth into my throat. I then woke up.

5/28/06 – Successful RC, but woke up. I has woken at 5 a.m. and then dozed back off, only to find myself walking down a path in the woods. I knew that I had just been awake moments earlier and looked at my left hand. I counted 8 fingers and realized I was dreaming, but I wasn’t “asleep” enough. I could still hear the sound of my air conditioner which brought me back to consciousness, and I awoke.

LD #26 – “I want a donut!”
Just before bed I was discussing with my wife my next LD goal. I have given up refined sugar in my diet, but today we were at a friend’s house and there was a big plate of chocolate chip cookies on the table. I really wanted to have one, but resisted. I told her, as we lay in bed, how I wanted to get lucid in a dream and eat piles of candy, cookies or what ever else I could get my hands on. We laughed about it and then went to sleep.
I had woken up and looked at the clock at 3:34 a.m. I dozed back off and found myself in my car with Mike (a guy I work with). I was driving. I took a left onto a steep, snow covered road and my car began to slip. I knew we would never make it to the top. Suddenly I remembered that I had just been awake and that I was dreaming. I didn’t bother doing an RC, I knew I was dreaming. I turn to Mike and say, “Watch this.” I hold my hands out to my sides (like I’m performing a magic trick) and will the snow to evaporate. All the snow melts away and turns to steam within 3 seconds. I smile. I remember my goal to eat some sweat junk food. I take hold of the steering wheel and continue to drive up the hill. I see a building on my left and will it be a bakery. I pull into the parking lot and park the car. I jump out and walk into the bakery, only to find that it is abandoned. The display cases are all empty, there are old pans and junk scattered all around. I am disappointed. Mike has entered the building. I say to him, “Come with me.” He responds, “I don’t think this is going to work.” I walk out of the bakery, so that my back is to the building, and will it to become a Dunkin Donuts. I turn around and the sigh on the front is a pink and orange Dunkin Donuts sign. I walk back in, and the lights are on……..but it is still abandoned. I think to myself, ‘This is my dream and I want some donuts.’ I begin searching around and find a pan that has a single munchkin (donut hole) on it. It is a honey glazed with a maraschino cherry on top. I grab it and pop it into my mouth. The only thing I can taste is the maraschino cherry (not my favorite thing). Again, I am disappointed. Then I hear Mike’s voice, “Hey! I found the donuts!” I begin to run to were he is, but the dream fades and I wake up.
Wow! It seems that finding junk food in my dreams is just as difficult as having sex. Who would have thought??? ??:
