I was flying and skimming across this mud field, showing a place to live to these two black girls (they were sisters I think). When I got to the apartment and opened the door, we were all aghast at the condition of the place. It was beyond filthy. The floor was covered in mud, the grime was so thick on all the walls that it seemed almost like a layer of molasses, and it had more than a few dead animals that had mysteriously gotten in. I didn’t even want to step over the threshold. Remind me never to hire you as my real estate agent. Gross! Do you time travel in your dreams often? Thats cool the way you describe immersing yourself in a vision of future. Sometimes, when you’re hidden away for that long, you make the place as nice and comfortable as you can; you convince yourself that it’s not really what it is so you can live with it and be somewhat happy. But it doesn’t change the truth of your situation, nor does it mean that you want to be in it--it is merely the illusion of choice. That illusion allows you to alleviate the despair you’d normally feel knowing that you could never escape. You describe it so personally. This could apply to all the ways life ends up trapping you.

So many more incredible dreams. I think you dream faster than I can read. I so hooked on the ongoing epic that is Naiya's Lucid DJ. Dilly Dilly Horse said they belonged to this and that person, who were in a painting I saw earlier. In that painting, it was a hospital room full of crows, with one in the center the largest, and presumably, the leader or whatever. But then in the picture, half of the crows morphed into innocent-looking children with cold stares. (omg children of the corn? Just now thought of that.) Anyways the skulls and bones belonged to those grown children. So I was trying to solve this puzzle. Is this a real painting in real life? Or is it one you had just come across in the dream? It sounds creepy as hell, but it sounds almost familiar. The crows in the hospital bed part at least. I love how all these dreams are connected. Do you have any special tricks you use to reenter dreams? Btw, if you’ve never tried singing in an LD, I highly recommend it I just tried singing for the first time a couple weeks ago. I can't sing worth a damn, but in the dream it was beautiful and crazy-intense. I have to try that again. So much I want to do. I wish I had as many lucids as you. I'd heard rumors of these vampires that actually resorted to EATING people. (Cannibalism: another theme?) You just reminded me. My girlfriend's mom told me about this dream she had about cannibals. I think its her favorite joke, because she tells me every time I mention dreaming. The cannibals were sitting around the dinner table, and one turns to the group and says, "Lets eat, people!" Yeah...

Hey Naiya---Someone told me that your dream journal was really cool and I should check it out. You have great recall and amazing detail. I've had some of the same problem with DC's as you, but not a recurring one; I never can find the same one twice, but they often act the same as each other; aggressive or devious, usually. Congratulations on completing the Advanced task.

He gave me something else: two silver rings. I’m not quite sure what they’re for (he never did tell me, I probably should've asked) but I knew to put one on each hand. When I did that, even though they were too large for my fingers, they fitted themselves to the right size so they would stay. When I held out my hands with my palms facing, it felt almost like I was holding a powerful magnet in each hand, whose polarity matched the other so they could not be forced together. They made a low humming sound, so bass that it seemed like I could feel the vibration throughout my body, much like when someone is beating on a drum in the same room. Sounds like he did something nice for you for a change. Maybe you're winning him over . I used to wear magnetic rings on the pinky finger of each hand to sleep. I started it as a joke/experiment, but decided I liked the way it felt so I kept it up for 3 years. I know a lot of people say magnetic jewelry is B.S. but I can definitely feel something with it. Sadly, I lost them somewhere along the line. I realized that the adult’s entrance was only separated from the inside by strong mesh fabric (the kind you see in those crappy McDonald’s playgrounds). I peered inside and saw a playground inside, mostly made of plush and inflatables. Hey, I had a dream about one of these last week also. I was tearing around the place with my 7 year old brother. He's 20 years younger than me, but he's the coolest person I've ever met. I forgot how fun those things are. Congrats on the basic task. I like your persistence in making it interesting. I wish I had that kind of willpower in my dreams. I'm normally just satisfied with remembering to complete a task. I hope you figure out the no sleep thing. Are you having a hard time sleeping? Or just no time to sleep?

Hopefully the lack of lucids means you got some quality deep sleep. Maybe the ocean's back on your mind because of this month's tsunami task. Does the ocean bug you in real life too? Or just in dream life? I used to be freaked out by it. The idea of all those invisible, gigantic sea monsters right below the surface. Sharks and whales, giant squid and 2000lb tuna. If you saw any of those things on land, they would be considered monsters. The Animal Control SWAT team would be there in a second. Living in Hawaii killed that fear pretty quick, though.
