      A Visit to Portal da Barra

      The dream started off with me visiting Portal da Barra, the condo where I lived for most of my childhood in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I was trying to go see a few of my childhood friends, Rafael, Rodrigo, and David, but I think they were late to meet me. After a while, I was waiting with Rodrigo near the tennis courts, talking about how Rafael takes forever to get ready.



      Off to the Night

      I went to some bar in Berkeley with another girl. I have no idea who she was, but she was blonde, with a very pretty face and a nice body. She reminded me a little bit of the blonde from the previous night's dream.
      In the dream, I had the feeling that me and her had messed around before. I don't know what exactly we did, why, when, or how, but I "just knew" we had messed around before, though we weren't dating or anything.
      When we got to the bar, she started flirting with some guy that was sitting at a stool. I let them do their thing and started socializing with another group of people nearby.
      Then I saw Chris, one of my coworkers there and I started talking to him, catching up and seeing what he was up to. When the girl saw me talking to Chris, she came over and started talking to us, and then flirting with Chris who was flirting back.
      Later on she asked me if I had gotten mad because she was talking to other guys. I said something along the lines of "of course not. We're not in a relationship, and I don't want to be in a relationship. Just because we messed around doesn't mean I'll get jealous when you talk to other guys. You can do your own thing, and more power to you! Chris is a cool guy, so go for it!" She got really happy when I said that.
      The bar wasn't all that great, not that many people in there. We all then decided to go somewhere else for the night. Our chosen place to go for the night: San Francisco!!!
      We went to the gas station to fuel up our cars. There were 3 girls including the one from earlier, me, Chris, and one of his friends. I was driving, and so was Chris. "So, who all is going with who" someone asked. We all looked at each other for half a second, and then I took a better look at the girls. I locked eye contact for a second with one of the girls whom I had also never met. She winked at me and said in a happy, jumpy, girly way: "I wanna go with him" as she moved briskly towards me.
      Then the dream ended before we all got in the car.

      Last night's dream had an amazing epic feel to it. It was extremely scary at parts, but I didn't shit my pants, so the dream was definitely worth it. Kinda like watching a real good scary movie, except I was in it. I wish I could make justice to it through great storytelling and images, but it would take me too long to describe all the details. So, without further ado, here's last night's dream:

      A Meeting With the "Old Hag"

      Me and my sister were looking for a new house. The Realtor took us to this big house that was going for a really good price. The house was located in a very remote location, with no other houses around. The house was very big from the outside. The architecture reminded me of the olden houses from 19th century with big rustic accents. The yard was covered with autumn leaves and the trees were naked. There was a heavy feeling about this house from the instant I set my eyes on it.

      As we stepped inside the house, we could see more clearly the age of the house. The floors were cracked, the wood was starting to deteriorate, and the paint was peeling off the walls. I felt an even heavier presence being felt as we got inside the house. The Realtor seemed uneasy, but was quick to point out the good price of the house.

      "It needs work" he stated, "but once you renovate it, this house will be worth a lot of money! It has a huge outdoor, and the accents around the house are like no other."

      After this, me and my sister went on to exploring the inside of the house. The Realtor was no longer in the dream. It was now just me, my sister, the house, and the feeling of an ever growing dangerous presence. My sister wanted to check each and every room, as she got more and more excited about the house. I remained uneasy and tried to convince her to just leave multiple times.

      After we had gone through the rooms in the first floor, we sat down on the main stairway and talked for a bit. I took a peak at what was in store on the second floor, but the stairway only led to a small dark room which was connected to a small wooden porch. I just knew there was something lurking inside that dark room, a presence just watching and waiting for us. Something that had been living in that house for ages, something that I could not explain. My sister then stood up and said "ok, let's go check the upstairs now."

      "No... let's just go."

      "But we haven't been there yet. I have to see how the upstairs is like."

      "No Adriana! Let's just go... there is nothing there, I took a peek already, it's just a small room and that tiny porch over there. Let's just go, we've been here for way too long already."

      As we started walking out, I could feel this presence following us. I could feel it's breath on my neck and its shadow consuming us. I grabbed my sister's hand to rush our way out. We got back to the living room and I saw an old book case with many books and videos on the history of this house.
      "Go ahead and get out through those windows Adriana, quick. I'm just going to grab some of these so that I can find out more about this house later on."

      As she was making her outside through the window I managed to grab as many videos and dusty books as I could hold on my arms and rushed my way outside.

      "I have no idea what that was Adriana, but I'm glad we're outside now. There was something that did not want us in there." I said to my sister.

      "Yeah, I felt a little strange when we were walking around that house. I'm not sure what it was that I felt though. Wait a second, where's Rajiv?" (her husband).

      "He wasn't here to begin with. What are you talking about?" I replied.

      "No, I can hear him... he's calling for me, I have to go find him!" As she dashed back towards the house. The dead leaves on the ground floated up following her trail. The branches of the trees were flowing like smooth silky hair on the wind and all pointing in her direction.

      "NO ADRIANA, DON'T!"

      As I ran after her I heard the sound of a maniacal female laugh echoing in the wind.

      "Come back Adriana!!!"

      I lost sight of her as I lost sight of where she had gone. I stood looking around for a second wondering what had happened to her. Then I started walking aimlessly in one direction in hopes of finding her. The air felt misty and I saw no signs of the house or my sister. I only saw the dead leaves on the ground and the lonely trees that surrounded me.

      As I walked further in search of my sister, the scene of the dream changed. I was still outdoors on top of the fallen leaves the the dead trees around, and yet, there was a sense that I was in a room - a lair. I looked up and I saw what could be best described as "the old hag" - a daemon, witch, or succubus if you will. Around her, there were the bodies of 4 people, hung upside down from thin air. My sister's husband was among the bodies. They were all in a deep eternal sleep, looking cold and soulless. In front of the hag, was the head of my sister attached to her upper torso. There was no blood, and yet, she looked just as lifeless as the other bodies.

      In response to my questioning the situation in my mind, the hag said that my sister would have to sing for her for all of eternity. With no sleep, and no rest. My sister's soul was bound to this curse for all of infinity.

      Although I got this response, the hag didn't seem to notice me. I sneaked forward while grasping an old rusty scrap, reminiscent of a spear. I approached closer and closer to the hag, who was floating on the air, unaware of my presence. Her hair floated like brisk summer wind as she calmly appreciated my sister's soulless singing.

      Once underneath the hag, I punctured her in one shot. The spear went in through her buttocks and out through her chest. She shrieked a most painful cry as she tried to get away. With the horrendous cry, the body of the 5 people, including my sister and her husband, fell back on the ground taking their normal form. They laid on the ground dazed and knocked out but alive.

      As I struggled to keep the spear punctured through the hag, her color and form changed as she twisted and strained in agonizing pain. The sky turned red and the leaves were blown away with the sudden strong winds. She shrilled and screamed trying to free herself. As she cried "This will not be the end of it.... my sisters will come for you!" she managed to break free and flee.

      I woke up after this battle, feeling good that I didn't have to meet with her sisters... just yet.

      Whoa, cool dream. Did you actually remember all of that dialog, or did you elaborate a bit on it for the sake of the story? In any case, cool read. A dream like that would have made me have a LD against my will, one of those really frightening LDs that you could do without.

      Yay, someone other than me has posted on my dream journal!

      Here Mes, you get a cookie and a hug

      I didn't remember all the dialog word by word, but I remember the essence of everything that was said. Then I put it in my own words trying to reflect as accurately as I could what was said on the dream. The daemon's last line however was exactly how she said it in the dream.

      I'm going for a jog and will post last night's dream. Not as epic, but it was pretty neat, and I got to try some Dom Pérignon in it so that's awesome!

      New Year's Celebration

      I went to San Francisco with my friend Brian for a New Year's celebration. Some people were wearing costumes, others were wearing masks, and some people were dressed normally. At one point I was carrying a mask type of thing which was just a colorful glass cover for my nose.
      When the year was about to change, everyone went to the outside porch to try to see the fireworks. I kept looking around but couldn't see any fireworks. Instead, I noticed that everyone was watching the fireworks that were being shown on many small TVs around the club/bar.
      While this was happening, I noticed that there was an opened, half full bottle of Dom Pérignon sitting on the bar, unattended. I took a few steps closer to it, looked around trying to figure out whose it was. The bartender wasn't there either, so I started pouring some in my glass.
      As soon as I started pouring the champagne in my glass, the bartender showed up and asked "do you need any help?"
      "erm..."
      "We're giving a free glass of Dom Pérignon for everyone, you could have asked if you wanted some."
      I proceeded to taste the champagne. It was so smooth, silky, tasted like grape juice from the heavens!
      After this I went outside with Brian. A couple of hardcore-looking bikers started a conversation with us. Turns out one of them was an actor for a movie that was coming out, an adaptation of the game Full Throttle onto the big screen. I got so excited when he said they were making that movie so I started talking to him about it.
      The dream ended shortly thereafter.



      Crazy Island

      I was the ocean swimming with a couple of friends. There were no waves, it felt more like a lake. Further away from the beach, there was a line restricting us so that we couldn't go further for some reason.
      We were sitting on top of this line, and I said to my friend "hey man, you should go swimming to that island there." as I pointed to some island far away. Sure enough, he started swimming towards there, so me and someone else followed him.
      Once we got there we tried climbing the rocks by using some ropes that were already in place for us. Once we got to the top we walked a little bit and we saw some refrigerators, some bones, and random scrap around. Then some random guy wearing a suit came to us and tried to convince us to go with him inside a helicopter.
      I was skeptical about this, so I refused, but my uncle Ariosvaldo was all happy-go-lucky about it and went along with this random man. As I saw the helicopter flying off, me and two other guys were making our way back down through the rope, which we found out had been cut off.
      The dream ended as I stumbled back down to the ground of the island.

      Driving to Brazil

      I had talked to my cousin Vitor about going to Brazil. He mentioned that it was a real easy drive and that is shouldn't take more than a few hours. He gave me the easy directions and what interstates to take, and I started my drive.

      I was in Brazil almost instantly, but in my mind I was thinking it had taken just one hour. I met up with my cousin at a bar in Brazil. There weren't many people there, but the bar was really nice. There was a nice pleasant Brazilian music playing from the speakers. There were a couple really good looking Brazilian girls sitting by the bar, and some more people sitting down at some tables.

      Next stop was the beach. We were walking by the sidewalk on the beach and my cousin was pointing out all the new things that weren't the last time I had been to Brazil. The beach was quite crowded, it was a beautiful sunny day. The waves were real nice and the ocean was crystal clear. The wind was nice and refreshing against the heat of the sun.

      We then went on to the sand and towards the waves. I was a few of my other Brazilian friends there. They were sitting on the surf board waiting for a good wave to catch. I waved at them and they were surprised to see me. When I got closer to them, a big wave came down so I caught it and surfed my way out. After I finished the wave I started making my way back to my friends but the dream ended.



      Weed Supplier at Costco

      When Costco was about to close, I met this one cute hippie looking girl. We were talking a little bit, and then she went inside the car of someone who had just parked in front of Costco.

      I started talking to some co-workers and I noticed she had gotten out of the car and went inside another car that had just parked in front of Costco as well. I was curious to know what she was doing but I figured she was just probably selling some drugs. I did think it was a dumb move of her to do it right in front of Costco, especially since there was a cop shopping there and he was just a few feet away from her.

      After she got out of the car she came to talk to me again. She said she sold one pound of weed every 2 weeks or so. Then she proceeded to show me the batch that she had at the time. It looked like a huge Christmas wreath, but without the ribbon:


      The weed was really cristally, some real high grade Cali bud. But I quit smoking, so I wasn't interested in it or in being too close friends with her. I tried to take a couple of pictures of her holding the weed wreath to capture the amazeness it.

      The dream ended shortly after, when me and a couple of other guys were talking about the financial benefits of being a dealer.

      Dream 1

      I remember seeing some imageries and HIs. I'm not sure if I was already dreaming or if I was still getting to that point. I remember the word "Extra" appeared in front of me.

      Swimming Pool Fight

      I was at someone's house with my friends Deren and John-John, along with a few people I didn't know. It was night time and there was a nice, well-lit swimming pool nearby. Deren was arguing with a couple of the guys who were arguing back with him and John-John.

      One of the guys I didn't know called Deren something that I can't remember. Then he jumped in the middle of the swimming pool "to protect himself," thinking that no one would do anything to him if he was inside the pool.

      Deren and John-John quickly got inside the swimming pool and started getting closer to the guy. They were talking shit to him and trying to get the situation stirred up. Once they got within arms reach of the guy, the guy called Deren and John John another name. Deren and John John looked at each other and then forced the guy's head underwater, in an attempt to drown him.

      One of the guy's friends jumped in the water and smacked Deren from behind. In response to that, one of Deren't friends went in also and joined the fight, as did the guy's dad and a couple of girls.

      While this was all happening and water was being splashed everywhere, I just stood by the pool deck thinking this was quite amusing. The water was making it harder for people to move and punch, so the fight looked like it was happening in slow motion. It was quite the sight.

      After the fight I was talking to two girls about the whole situation, then the dream ended.



      Lost at the Gas Station

      I only remember being lost and in a gas station. I was re-fueling my car and trying to figure out how to get where I was going.

      Man! I got such a kick-ass welcome here that I think I'll stay for a while! *pulls up a chair*

      How often do you WBTB and how long do you usually try to sleep for before WBTB-ing?

      Dream 1

      I was at work. My beard was pretty long, and there were a couple of people talking about it. One of the managers, Todd, said I needed to shave my facial hair because it was getting ugly. I argued with him for a bit but I don't remember many details of the dream.



      Dream 2

      After getting off work, my co-worker Brian had gotten his car stereo stolen in the parking lot. I sat down with him in his car, and he had only a cheap radio playing. He was driving me around, and eventually we stopped somewhere to buy weed. On our way back, we got pulled over by a cop.

      I was freaking out, I thought I was going to get in deep trouble. Once the cop came to the car, he asked us to get out of the car.

      "Oh crap... this is it." I thought to myself.

      "Ok, now go stand over there on top of those stairs." said the police officer. Then he asked us if we wanted to participate in a TV commercial.

      "erm... sure?" I replied. I was unsure of what was about to happen, and at the same time I was excited that I was going to be on a TV commercial. Right after I agreed, a group of about 10 people came out of the nowhere and started doing a choreographed dance besides me. I noticed they were already recording the commercial, so I tried my best to dance the same moves and in the same rhythm as the other people, all the while some music was playing on the background.

      After the commercial recording was done, I stayed in the parking lot talking to a couple of the other guys about cars. They were saying how my car was really compact. As he gestured with his hands, an outline of my car was drawn around him. Then he was sitting down on something that looked like a go-kart.

      "Yeah man, it's really nice to have a car like yours that's so low to the ground and so small, because the center of gravity becomes really stable."

      That was the last thing I remember of the dream.

      You're pulling up a chair??? You know, you can just sit on that throne right over there.

      *points*



      I put it in here just for you, you silly.

      Well, I try WBTBs quite often. I'd say about 3 times a week... usually whenever I feel like getting some extra dreams, I'll try WBTB. If I happen to wake up in the middle of the night without intending to, I'll usually try to stay awake for a few extra minutes. Might as well.

      Normally I would sleep for 5 to 5:30 hours before waking up. That tends to give me a real nice dream when I go back to bed. Lately I've been trying to sleep for only 3:30 to 4:30 hours to try WILDing through Clairity's WILD Technique. It hasn't worked yet, but then again, I usually have a hard time with WILDing.

      Anyway, here... have a drink while you're here.

      Tattoo Removal

      One of my friends was getting a tattoo. I got pretty excited about it, so I decided to get one too.

      "I'm not sure what I want. Just make a cool little design on my right elbow, and write Ralph (my name) on it."

      I was pretty happy with the design, but I didn't like the font that she used to write my name. It was something really boring and bland like RALPH. I decided to get another one on my left forearm just for shits and giggles. I can't remember what it was, but it turned out to be something really dumb and pointless and I regretted it as soon as she got done with the tattoo.

      She showed me a cream for tattoo removal that had just came out. She gave me a sampler pack and said that if I could try the cream in case I didn't like the tattoos.

      I didn't think it was possible for a cream to remove a tattoo, so I decided to give it a try right then and right there. I smeared some on my left forearm and was disappointed since nothing happened after 5 seconds . I started rubbing the cream on my arm for a couple of minutes and to my surprise, the tattoo started fading away. There was still signs of the tattoo, but it was fading away.
      I was surprised that it worked, so I showed it to my friend and asked him if he could see that the tattoo had faded.

      "Yeah man, that cream is definitely working. Cool."

      My sampler pack had finished, so I was left with a half faded, dumb and pointless tattoo on my left forearm.

      haha!

      wow. I take back what I said before. Even your dreams are innocent.

      Face it Ralph, you're as G rated as your dream tat.

      Ps. Why do you include "dosage" and what's a WBTB?

      G rated? Hey now...

      there's violence
      explicit language
      and drugs

      I think that would qualify for at least a PG-13.

      hahaha... but yeah, I think you're right. I would love to argue against that, but I think you've just shed some light about something I'd never noticed before. My dreams are about as innocent as Sesame Street. Some of my previous lucids have gotten a bit sexual, but then I just wake up before it even gets interesting.

      As far as including dosage, it's mainly to boost my ego and convince myself that I'm being more scientific about it. haha. Naw, mostly it's so that (hopefully) after a while, I can look back and try to distinguish if there's some food, vitamin, drink, or any combination of those that helps with my recall and becoming lucid. Then I can look back through the data and try to draw conclusions... maybe even do a graph of sorts if I get so inclined after I have enough data.

      For example, I had this theory that taking a shot of alcohol (cognac) right before I went to bed was helping me with becoming lucid. I kept track of this (on my off-line dream journal), and after sometime, it turned out that it actually seemed to help me a bit. Ah... the wonders of alcohol!

      As far as WBTB (Wake Back To Bed), it's just another technique. Here's the link for the tutorial. The basic method is to sleep for 5 to 6 hours, wake yourself up (with an alarm or by self-suggestion), stay awake for around 30 minutes, then go back to sleep. This will give a much more vivid and longer last dream for the last hours of sleep. It can also be used in conjunction with other methods. I usually do WBTB with WILD - it helps me fall asleep quicker because I'm still sleepy, and it helps my mind stay aware as I'm falling asleep because I stayed up for a few minutes. Lately I've been trying out different sleep/awake time combinations to see if I find any that works good for me.

      But seriously though... I'm gonna have a lucid dream tonight damnit!

      First of all, that was a bad ass smiley sequence.

      Well hey,it's not necessarily a bad thing. I don't know you too well either, but from what I've gathered you seem like a pretty straight forward, down to earth, sociable, honest person---and if that's reflected in your dreams then, i'd say you're lucky to have such a clear scope of who you are.

      Some people spend their lifetimes trying to get that one right.

      And dosage: Oh, i see. Innnnnnnnnteresting. I hadn't considered food to be a variable. My Mexican grandma always swore that food 3hrs before bed will give you nightmares, but I always figured she was just crazy. I didn't know that it could have an effect on the quality of dreams. That's a pretty good idea of yours.

      Luck with the lucid and thanks for the link

      Ps. I see what you mean about the smileys. They DO add a little somethin' somethin'. Especially the druggie one.

      Dosage
      2mg Melatonin (sub lingual)



      Ultima Online

      I met up with one of my old roomates Micah. He was playing Ultima Online on a free server where we both used to play a couple of years back. He showed me his new house there as he was about to go into a dueling tourney. On the way to the tourney, he got jumped by a couple of other guys but managed to stay alive and kill one of them.




      WBTB (6 hours of sleep, 20 minutes awake)

      Dosage
      100mg B-6



      Head Crab Zombies!

      I was happily walking along a grassy field, with no destination in mind. I looked far ahead and I noticed two fast head crab zombies running on my direction.

      Ok, let me give a small back story on this creature. I don't know if you've ever played Half-Life 2, but I'm sure you've at least heard about it at one time or another. Amongst all the creatures you encounter, one of them is the fast head crab zombies:

      Yes, they don't look so pretty. Also, these things are fast! They will climb pipes and walls in a rush and jump really long distances to get to you. These things rushing at me were enough to scare and freak me out in the game. Now... imagine these things in extremely vivid detail, skinless, and screaming as they ran towards me. Ok, get the picture? Now back to the dream...

      I froze for a second as they got closer and closer.

      "omg, what am I gonna do... omg omg... I can't run, they're too fast. Omg omg omg. Oh yes! The shotgun!!!"

      I waited as they came running. I could hear the thumping sound as they approached. I stood there with the shotgun ready and aiming at them, waiting for the right time. One of the zombies jumped in my direction...

      WHAM! Shot midair... die muthaf***er!

      The other one was really close to me already.
      FUCK! I missed... move sideways, get out of his way.
      Gah, barely hit him! Evade his attack.
      Die bitch die!

      "What the hell was that? Where did they come from? Wtf!" I wondered as I stood there, relieved that I was still alive.

      I started walking once again through the grassy field. With no destination in mind, I was now more wary of my surroundings, afraid that another zombie would come rushing towards me. Then I see another zombie standing by a tree over a small hill. He didn't seem to notice me.

      I tried to sneak up around and behind him, but when I do that he notices me. Crap! Here he comes...

      He comes rushing towards me. I missed my shot. However, instead of attacking me, he grabs something from my hands and keeps running away. I realized that he took a baby that I was carrying on my arms all along. It all makes sense now... I was supposed to take this baby to safety, and I just failed it. Crap!

      *ESCAPE*

      *RELOAD SAVED GAME*

      I'm back at the scene where I've just spotted the zombie near the tree. I try to be more quiet this time. I sneak up slowly behind him as he stands there. I blast him with my shotgun, point-blanc. I feel a sense of relief and accomplishment as he goes down and the dream fades away.



      Kindlewood Reunion

      This dream started as sort of a continuation of the last dream. I was aware that I had just had a dream about fast head crab zombies. I was going inside the bathroom and I was a little reluctant that I would find some head crab zombies in there. Then I thought to myself:

      "Wait a second... that was just a dream! If a zombie were to show up right now, I would know for sure that I was dreaming and I would be able to control it. There's nothing to be afraid of."

      I proceeded to take a nice and refreshing pee onto the urinal as I kept looking behind my back to see if a zombie would pop out. I kept hoping it would, because then that would mean that I'm in a dream, that would mean that I would be in a lucid dream.



      Why do we do this sometimes? Ponder about the wondrous experience that would be if we were in a lucid dream, while right then and there... we are in a dream and we just need to realize that?

      Anyway, after I got out of the bathroom, I realized I was in Knoxville, Tennessee, about to visit my friends. Me and Greg S. went to Ruba's house to hang out and catch up. A few seconds after we got there, Janine showed up followed by Leon, Kat, Leslie, Micah, Sarah, and everyone else from the Kindlewood crowd. Within 2 minutes, there were more than 20 of us.

      I found this amusing and I mentioned it to Greg. "Damn, this is crazy... only a couple of minutes ago, it was just me, you, and Ruba. Now everyone is here, and we didn't have anything planned! Haha, it's a party now!"

      We were all catching up and socializing for the rest of the dream, with plans of going somewhere or getting some alcohol but without actually doing either of those.

      Video game dreams are the BEST!!!!! I had this happen to me with Mortal Combat once. This was such a cool dream of yours.
      I'm kinda jealous.

      Gah that's the worst, in a dream. And you were sooo close! I really thought you were going to have that lucid you wanted. Better luck next time, buddy.

      After the dreams I had two nights ago (especially the one I was very close to lucidity), I was looking forward to last night's dreams. I think I tried too hard though and my mind blocked it out. I can't remember any dreams from last night.

      Oh well, hopefully later in the day something will trigger my memory.

      EDIT:
      A flash of last night's dream came to my head. I don't remember much detail and whether it was from before or after the WBTB.

      I was in an old school with long white corridors, and molded ceiling tiles. I had signed up for two classes, however, I couldn't figure out which room I was supposed to go to. I went to the computer lab to try log into my account and get my class details. The computers were also old, Windows-98 era (wow, saying those are old actually makes me feel old).

      When I checked my class details, I found out one of my classes had already started, so I decided to drop that class and add another class that was equivalent but started at a later time.

      I then walked around the school a bit more to get acquainted with the place. The place was pretty crowded, but the halls everywhere had an old and dirty, heavy feeling to them.

      Another game dream last night. It wasn't based on any specific game that I know of, but it sure as hell was fun!

      Lich Attack and Kissing a Vampire

      It was a dark night, I was with a few other people out in the nature. There were a few trees around, and some old ruins.

      Suddenly, a huge group of vampires, undead, and liches started coming our way. I realized me and everyone that was with me was holding an unique, intricate scepter.

      No one had any special powers or spells, including the undeads, vampires and liches. One of them got near me so I swung my scepter with full force on his face. Hoping that it would knock him down, I got surprised to find out that it barely did anything to him as he kept walking towards me. I backed a little bit and swung it 4 more times before he finally went down.

      By this time, I was surrounded by a dozen other liches and vampires with nowhere to run.

      The dream restarted.

      I tried a different technique this time. I signaled to the other people that were with me that we should hit the monsters until they go down and then back away for cover while trying to lure them into different directions.

      This plan worked for a bit, but soon I was surrounded again and the dream restarted.

      On the third attempt, we lasted a lot longer. Once I got surrounded, I looked into the face of one of the vampires and I noticed the one closest to me was this very cute, slim, dark-haired girl. We had locked eye-contact so I started up a conversation with a simple "Hey, what do you think of this whole thing?"

      At this time all the other vampires etc stopped walking towards me and sat down on the nearby ruins. There was now a fireplace and we were all gathered around.

      Me and the girl had been talking for what seemed to be less than a minute, when I started kissing her. She was kissing back with a lot of passion... and then, she stopped kissing me back. I tried to keep kissing for another second and nothing.

      I pulled back, feeling a bit awkward. I noticed just about everyone was looking in my direction. I commented on something completely unrelated and she didn't give much of a reply. Then some guy that was sitting down said how she didn't kiss me back and chuckled about it... I felt even a bit more awkward.

      In reply to the guy, the girl stood up and said "no, he was a real good kisser actually. I just like to do this to guys sometimes - stop kissing back and see what their reaction is, hoping that they'll get more aggressive." as she walked away.

      Could not remember any dreams again. I'm apparently going through some sort of dream recall dry-spell.

      I finally remembered a little bit of my dreams tonight. The details are really hazy, and I only remember a couple of flashbacks, but it still beats remembering no dreams at all.

      Dream 1

      My niece Isabella was in my room. She's 1 year old, and the cutest thing. She kept saying "hoo hooooo" (sounds like who whooooo). She was saying this when I was with her before I went to sleep, so I imagine that's the reason it made into my dream.

      After that, I remember watching someone brush their teeth with a strange apparatus. The teeth were really bright and white, and it looked almost golden a couple of times.



      Lucid?

      I have a flashback of a dream from last night, and apparently I'd become lucid. I was in a room trying to figure out what to do next. I remembered about the lucid task of the month to try to make an inanimate object alive but I was afraid that would make me lose focus. Instead, I wanted to try to my subconscious...

      It's only a vague memory of the dream, but I do believe I became lucid last night.

      Yeah, I have them from time to time.

      There's a Brazilian superstition that if you dream of rotten, dirty, or falling teeth, then it means that someone you know is going to pass away.

      Nowadays I see them mostly as regular dreams and don't think much of it. But I still get a bit uneasy when I dream of falling teeth.
