Thread: Unseen Wombat's Dream Journal

Crappy recall again. I only recall a few fragments, though I know they were from much longer dreams.

My new enormous house

In this one I remember we were redoing the plans for our new house. But we lived in there already. It was enormous and it was really cool. I was really proud of it.

When I woke up, I wondered if I had dreamed about The House, but came to the conclusion that it wasn't. This was just a really big house.

Black nurse

I hardly even remember this one. There was a black nurse who was talking to this old guy. She was trying to convince him to retire. They were then talking about where the stores used to be in town. I only remember that there was a convenience store, which later became a Silverman's (Discount store, I think, that I never go in), then it became a convenience store again.

I then remember a disjointed fragment where I wanted a donut, but it was almost time for dinner, so my wife told me I should wait.

Theatre with Fetz, Vex Kitten and Lydia

I just have a few disjointed fragments from this one. I know it was really long though. I was in downtown Cleveland, at Gund Arena, I think, and there was this show going on. I was with Lydia, my ex-girlfriend from my freshman year of college (She was half-Korean). She was in some kind of competition with these other people. One of them was Fetz, this guy who I knew from the Soul Calibur community (he was one of the best players in the country, but wasn't very friendly IRL), and there were 2 girls with him, and both were really hot. One I didn't know, the other one was Vex Kitten. She had long, sort of dark blonde, curly hair, and her face was really pretty. (How did Fetz manage to get with her? LOL). They were performing a musical in one of the corridors of the arena and me and Lydia were watching them. They were dancing and showing off. I didn't think they were very nice because I think they were purposely trying to show up Lydia, who was also a performer. She seemed pretty sad.

I also remember a guy who was wearing a mask. It wasn't like Epic Fail Guy, but I somehow knew that he was going to become a meme on 4chan. He tried to take the mask off and only managed to tear off the nose. I could imagine the drawhores posting sketches of this guy with a mask with no nose the next day. He seemed like a really frumpy guy, He talked about something in a really dead, boring voice. Not charismatic at all.

I also remember me and Lydia and some other girl were in a bedroom. Lydia was sitting on the bed and seemed sad again. I think her father was the one who was pushing her into performing in theatre. The other girl was talking to her and telling her something like she should do what she wants. Then I remember she said "Look at this. He did this too," and held up Lydia's ponytail. The entire length was completely covered with hair ties that had shiny plastic leaves on them

In another fragment of that same dream, I remember watching a commercial for this used car lot. They were opening a new showroom to the west of us. I guess near Toledo. I vividly remember seeing a map with a straight, glowing line between their existing lot and the new one. The camera followed the line to the west, then kept going. They were apparently building another showroom even further west. I tried to look for landmarks to identify roughly where they were, and saw a lake to the north. I read the name, and recognized it as one of the great lakes, but the name wasn't any of the five real great lakes. I don't remember what it was.

I had another dream after this, and remembered fragments of it, but by the time I had dragged up the memory of this one, I forgot it completely.

4-19-08

Awesome night last night! I slept totally soundly from about 1 to 6, then woke up and had fair, though disjointed recall of the one dream I had just had. Then I got up and took 2 Galantamind and stayed up for about 35 minutes I went BTB and tried to WILD for over an hour and got nowhere. After the first 20 minutes, I felt the rush of energy while seeing some HI of a middle-eastern shop, then tried to start imagining my back yard and tactile sensations, but that made the feeling stop immediately. After trying for white a while longer, I gave up and figured I'd get a DILD if I just went to sleep, and I did!

Confusing and disjointed dream

I remember I was first at Marc's getting a prescription. The medicine came in the form of a chocolate bar, about the size of a 3 musketeers bar, with a beige wrapper with brown lettering. The medicine bars came from this atm type machine. I saw some other people get their medicine and the wrapper had their last name on it. I wished mine did too, but the prescription my doctor gave me didn't have my name on the bar. The next thing I remember I was picking up a pair of slippers for Janet O. from work. I guess they were there for cleaning? I also stole another identical slipper that someone else left at the pharmacy. I brought them back to my house and gave her the slippers. The spare slipper was too small for her. She was about to toss it on the recreation side of the basement, but saw me watching her, so she didn't.

The next thing I remember is I was down in my basement, getting ready to go to an amusement park with Danielle. I had a butler who was standing over near the washer and dryer. I didn't know why no one was paying attention to the fact that I was about to leave. I told my butler to "get my gun." He picked up a shotgun from on top of the washer. Still no one noticed I was leaving.

Then I remember seeing a pornstar who was talking about her various encounters with men. Her first story was about her with a black guy. Two black guys who were listening gave each other a high five. Then she told a story of how she got pregnant.

Up on the basement wall, there was a cardboard box. Inside was the engine of a model train, one section of the track for it, and some contact paper that I remembered we had used on a mirror.

I also remember being at the Woodline factory. I thought about hacking into their computer, but I didn't.

At The Amusement Park DILD

I had been trying to WILD for a long time, but only managed to feel the rush of energy a couple times. Then I went to sleep and had this dream. I was at The Amusement Park. I remember seeing the roller coaster, and I may have rode on it too, but I don't remember for sure.

At one point, I was at this stand that was selling ceramic Christmas figurines. There was one with some carolers in front of a church that was just like the one we have at home IRL. I thought this was kinda strange in the dream and started to question my state. Then I looked inside the church and saw a tiny blue LED that was shaped like a Christmas bulb. The LED changed from blue to green, and I remembered having seen this same bulb in another dream. I was now fully lucid! Finally I was going to have something worth writing in my dream journal! I was unable to move though, because I thought I would lose the dream. I looked around for something I could grab so I could feel some tactile sensations, but there was nothing close, and I couldn't move. Then the dream ended.

I was bummed out, but it was still early in the morning yet, so I figured I had another chance.

Flying into outer space lucid! WOOT!

I went back to sleep but kept waking up, or maybe having FA's. I'm not sure what was real and what wasn't. When I was trying to get to sleep, I kept repeating, "I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming..." At one point, I thought I woke up and was getting ready to go to breakfast with my mom and my wife. It was pouring rain, and I thought for all the world that it was real. I was out in the backyard and it was still dark outside. I thought this was funny and checked my watch. It read 23:06. I knew it wasn't 11 pm. I checked it again, and it read 22:36! I was lucid! This time I was able to move. I walked back to the garage to get out of the rain. I went inside and picked up a blue metal watering can from a hook on one of the rafters. I touched it and ran my hand over its surface. It was so real! I could feel it perfectly. My fingers squeaked over the smooth surface, and then I felt the roughness of the rusty parts. I took off the nozzle from the spout and ran my fingers around the spout. It felt real too. Just like the can, I felt the smooth painted part, and the roughness of the rust.

I finally decided I had enough of the tactile stimulation, and set the watering can in a cardboard box near the garage door. (I should have held on to it, since it was keeping the dream really realistic). I went outside. I had a whole list of things I wanted to do: Check out a card I had in my basement, face up on a heating duct (to see if the astral projection BS had any truth to it); look under my bed for the task of the month; fly into outer space, just to show up Hiros, because he keeps doing my goal of having sex in lucids all the time; go through a stargate up there, another of Hiros' goals; find Jessica Alba on the other side and get it on with her in the usual way; turn myself into a woman and her into a trap and get it on that way. The first thing I thought of was, "I'll show that Hiros. He has sex with movie stars, so I'll fly into outer space," since I was almost outside anyway. I walked back out into the rain, and I think my mom and wife were calling to me to come back in because it was raining. I was ignoring them though, because I was lucid. I looked up at the dark sky. There were high-voltage wires up there. I thought to take off like Neo, and leaped straight up, but didn't go anywhere. I just jumped. So I figured I might be able to float up and gain speed in the air. That worked better, and I floated toward the wires. I was worried that I might hit one, even though I knew it was a dream. I didn't want to get hurt, and it was so real.

I was trying to imagine what I would see, like the Earth far beneath me, but the realism started to fade. I saw the moon, but didn't see the earth below. I stopped floating, and I guess I was out there in space, but couldn't really see anything good. I stayed up there for a while, but then the dream faded, and I woke up.

I tried to fall back asleep but only had like a half hour before I had to be up, and couldn't get back to sleep. I probably would have had better luck if I'd have laid on my side, but I tried to sleep on my back. Oh well. Still a nice night. I've been due for it for a while now.

Congratulations!
Awesome dream man.

But I must ask, why is it that everyone can get into space but me? First Mark, and now you I shall be next!

Yeah, it seems that the goals we want most are just totally out of our reach. Other goals are easy though. It's like our subconscious doesn't want us to reach our goals and be happy.

4-20-08

No real lucids tonight, except one short one that I was almost tempted to call semi-lucid, but I did know I was dreaming, though had zero control, but I had pretty good recall.

Mud flats national park

In this one, I was at this wide open area that was completely covered in mud. It was also alternately a cave, where people were allowed to spraypaint grafitti all over the walls. I somehow knew it was a national park There was this wooden ramp next to the mud flats that people were using wooden blocks to slide down. It went down to a landing, then curved to the right. I got a wood block, (rather small actually, only about 4" by 4", but I fit on it somehow), and slid down the ramp. I tried to make the turn around the landing, but slid off the edge. The posts that held up the platform though extended up above the wood decking, and I hooked my arm around one and spun so I wouldn't fly off into the mud. I then landed super-lightly on some concrete pavement. Jeff CZ from high school was there. He and everyone else were drinking these sports drinks from little bottles. I had got there late, after they had been passed out and Jeff gave the rest of his to me. It tasted like some nasty medicine that I used to have to mix from a powder when I was sick. Other people had different flavors I noticed, like fruit flavors. I remember there was either a sign, or it might have been grafitti that had an anagram which read "Popeye, Popeye, Popeye, Popeye..." I don't remember what the actual text was though, but I think it was a poem.

Down at the bottom, underneath the ramp, I only remember that Dave S. from work was at the Sears molding department (I don't even think they sell moldings).

Zombie refuge barely lucid

I didn't even write this one down, since I thought for sure I'd get a good lucid later, but since I didn't, I remembered it and can write it down now. In this one, I lived in this building with a bunch of other people. It had a large cafeteria that took up the entire front of the building. The outside walls were all of glass and about 30 feet tall. The lunchroom had these looong picnic tables where we all ate. and underneath, where the longitudinal brace usually is on a real picnic table, there was a garbage trough that we were supposed to put our leftovers and garbage into.

We lived in here because there was a zombie outbreak and this was like a refuge. Every morning, we all lined up in ranks in front of the side door with our weapons, getting ready to go out, and a group of zombies would come over and gather outside the glass doors. They never broke them though. I guess they were really strong glass. I remember one morning specifically, I got right up to the door and there were only a few zombies out there. I didn't see what the big deal was, but after a little while, a huge group of maybe 50 zombies showed up, milling around the doors. We all lined up like usual, then realized I didn't have a gun! I told everyone to wait so I could go back to my room and get it. I don't remember if I did or not.

The next thing I remember is that I was outside of the building, walking in the really large, paved courtyard. There were a lot of people around, but no zombies. I wondered how these people stayed outside all the time and didn't get attacked by the zombies. I looked around for anyone who wasn't normal, then I spotted one! It was a black lady who had the typical yellow zombie eyes. I realized I didn't have a gun again! I tried to run away from her and she shambled after me. I couldn't get away from her because no matter how fast I ran, she was still gaining on me. I realized, "This is just like always happens in my dreams." The zombie was getting closer and closer, and even though I think I was lucid, I was stupid and didn't even think that I could spin or teleport away, so I willed myself awake.

Then later, just before I got up, I went back to sleep and remember a fragment of something having to do with Mario, from the Nintendo games. I don't remember any details at all though.

4-21-08

Pretty good recall again. I just had to lay in bed and concentrate, but I was able to remember a lot of details. And in the final dream of the night I started dreaming about dreaming, so that's good.

At work in the ocean

This was technically a work dream, but boy was it weird! My job was to float around in the ocean. There were these floating markers that were attached to the bottom, arranged in kind of a large grid, with maybe 500 feet between each of them. There were other people working out there, floating around. We were talking to one another, and some swimmers came through from time to time.

Then the dream shifted and I was on this ramp to go sledding. Janice S. from work was there, and she said, "You know about that." I was at the bottom of this short hill though, and there was a wall with a door at the top. I used thought to make my sled slide up the hill. I said "I'm going to keep sledding til I die or til someone comes to get me." Well, after a while, someone came through the door at the top to get me. That's all I remember.

I'm a cop

In this dream, I was a cop, or a detective actually. I was out with my partner, and the first thing I remember is we were walking around, because we didn't want to be in our car. We were in a park. This guy was apparently following us and could only follow if we were in the car. My partner seemed mad and said, "We've been walking for 45 minutes. But we only have 1 hour of gas left in the car." We had somehow extended the time before the guy would be able to catch us by not wasting our gas.

The next thing I remember is we were walking down this street and we saw the guy's car up ahead surrounded by black and white police cars. It was night, and as we were walking past, another cop pulled us into an alcove to talk to us. He was giving us another assignment to investigate this woman who worked in a Volkswagon factory. I remember in the alcove, there were the ends of these electrical wires sticking out and I was bending them, because I thought they had something to do with the case.

The next thing I remember is I was walking in this garden with no shoes on, so my feet were cold. There were these red plants that were branching over the path and were about ankle high. As I walked through them, my ankles would brush them and stir up these red wasps that were in them. In the dream, I emembered that when I was a kid, I was scared of these wasps and would run through the garden as fast as I could. But now I thought they wouldn't hurt me. I was wrong though, because they started to attack! I had a hat on and they were landing on my head. I ran through the garden to get away and started trying to get the few that were still on me off. They seemed to like to get in the space between the bottom of my hat and the top of my ear, nearer to the front of my ear. I ran my finger up there, and felt them being crushed as I wiped them forward off my head. It was so real and I was so grossed out having these bugs on me.

Then I was at this juvenile hall, as part of another case. I guess I had forgotten about the woman at the Volkswagon factory. There was some guy near the building who was burning a barn, and I was up on top of the juvenile hall to have a good vantage point to see what was happening. I still had no shoes on and I vividly remember that my feet were so cold. There was a kid up there who was bald and was wearing all white. He looked like a cancer patient. There were some other kids up there too and we were all sitting and talking and watching the glow of the burning barn.

Now I hadn't realized it at first, but this building was tall. We were all sitting on the uppermost ledge of the roof and there was like a stairwell beneath us, with these platforms along the sides where you could stand. And there were no safety railings. I knew if you were to slip up here, you would surely fall to your death. I mentioned this to the other kids. I said something like, "This is really dangerous, you could fall and die from up here!" They were sitting to my right. Then the kid with cancer, who was on my left, got up to walk away. He misstepped, and fell off the ledge! I motioned toward him and said, "Just like that!" I was like, "Great, now I'll have to call someone." I thought of calling 911, but I knew he was already dead. Then I think I woke up.

Back under cover at juvenile hall almost lucid

In the last dream of the night, I was back at the same juvenile hall as in the last dream! I thought to myself, "I'm looking in on someone else's dream." And I felt I was a part of it. I somehow thought that I was with a group of dreamers IRL and we were all sharing our dreams. I wondered whose dream I was in. I thought it was a girl's, and I think I thought it was Christina R. from grade school. Anyway, I was in this building right next to the high-rise juvenile hall from the last dream, and I threw a rope over to it and somehow hooked onto it. I then pulled the entire building close to me. My mom was with me and we were going to install some PVC pipe as railing on the upper balconies to make them safer. We just had some elbows and tees, and were trying to put them together into railings. She was doing the gluing and I was trying to install them, but didn't know how.

Then I think I had a false awakening, or it might have been a real awakening at 6:32. But I didn't do a reality check and went back to sleep. The next thing I knew, It was 6:45 and my alarm on my watch was going off. It literally felt like no time had passed at all.

4-22-08

Not much to write today. I had crappy recall and only remember one fragment.

FDR at the drive thru fragment

This was a much longer dream that I only remember the tail end of. I was at a McDonalds or some drive thru in my car with my mom. We were driving toward the back parking lot down the left side of the building, and there was a line of cars at the drive thru. I saw Franklin D. Roosevelt standing out there, next to the line of cars, going on about how George W. Bush was a horrible president and all kinds of B.S. (Some of which is true, even I have to agree, even though I like Bush. North American Union? FTW)? Anyway. I was like, wait a second, FDR is dead! Then I looked and saw it was just a guy with a really good mask which went over his entire head. I said something negative about him and positive about Bush. Then my mom got mad and started talking about how Bush really was a bad president. (She doesn't like him as much as I do). We parked the car in a back parking lot of the McDonalds, then I woke up.

4-23-08

My recall was a little better last night, but I had to struggle, and still couldn't remember a lot of details, so it still wasn't as good as 2 nights ago.

Working at Quizno's

In this one, I was making sandwiches at Quizno's for myself and for people from work too. I only know Ken Z. was there. (That guy is in a lot of my dreams. I need to start reality checking every time I see him). It was apparently also a store that sold sections of track for toy cars. The blonde guy from Dragonball Z was there. I hardly remember this dream since I was half asleep even as I wrote it down.

I then had another dream and as I was laying there trying to recall the details, I fell back asleep and lost it.

Looking to marry Harrison Ford

In this dream, I was watching this woman. I was alternately experiencing the dream through her perspective, though I don't think I actually became her. She was an actress who played in the old Indiana Jones movies. And I think at one time she had a RL relationship with Harrison Ford. Anyway. She was a bridesmaid for one of her friends I think, and she felt bad that she wasn't married yet. So she decided she wanted to marry Harrison Ford, even though she hadn't seen him in years.

She ordered her assistant to bring Ford to her, then the next thing I remember, he was there, right outside of her room. She talked to him, though I don't remember what she said. There was quite a long stretch of dream where the two were doing various activities together, but I don't remember what they were. In the end, I think he did actually propose to her.

My recall on this one is crap, because I had it at 6:39, so I knew if I got up to write it down, I wouldn't have any time to fall back asleep, and I was being lazy.

Serious business. I need to remember that.

Wow, thats a weird dream. It's like you were dreaming of someone else's life
This Is Your Life: Dream Edition. hehe.

Yeah, it wasn't a very good one though. Kinda boring actually. If I have to have non-lucids, I wish I could have more with old girlfriends. I like those.

4-24-08

Poor recall again. I slept solidly until 4:45 when my WBTB alarm went off. I just got up to pee, then took a B6 to hopefully get lucid. I just had a normal dream though, but it was really long, and I didn't wake back up until 6:25.

Picking up girls fragment

Before my alarm went off, I only remember that I was trying to pick up some girls. I think Vince might have been with me, and I'm unsure if we were trying to get someone for him, or for me, or both.

The missing Wright Glider

In this one, I started off walking in the park along the bike path. There were woods, and just a little ways in, to the left was a crashed Wright brother's glider! I thought for sure it was a replica, but it had 1904 written on it, so I concluded it must be authentic! I was trying to take a picture of it with my camera phone, because I knew my friends would be really interested in seeing it. However, there were wild horses that lived right near the glider. They were pretty placid as long as I was just looking at the glider, but when I went to take a picture, they went crazy! I would try to take a photo and they would scream and make like they were gonna charge me. This happened a couple times.

I looked inside the glider at one point and noticed there were plaques in there. One said "William Jr." (Which my subconscious must have thought was Wilbur's name), and the other one said "Orville Reddenbacher." (LOL, that's kinda funny)

Then somehow, I managed to take the glider away with me. It was now really small, like maybe a foot across. I had it in a clear plastic bag and showed it to people at school. Scott H. from grade school and my pre-calculus teacher from high school were there. We were in like a waiting room outside of a classroom, waiting to go in. There was also cake on the tables, and I wanted to eat some, but it was time to go in for class.

I touched it and ran my hand over its surface. It was so real! I could feel it perfectly. My fingers squeaked over the smooth surface, and then I felt the roughness of the rusty parts. I took off the nozzle from the spout and ran my fingers around the spout. It felt real too. Just like the can, I felt the smooth painted part, and the roughness of the rust.

I Love when things are so real like that, so tangible. It's amazing to think that it is just a dream. Our mind can be so good at making up all that detail.

I was trying to imagine what I would see, like the Earth far beneath me, but the realism started to fade. I saw the moon, but didn't see the earth below. I stopped floating, and I guess I was out there in space, but couldn't really see anything good

. I stayed up there for a while, but then the dream faded, and I woke up.



That's cool that you made it to outerspace even though it didn't seem as realistic to you. That seems to be one of the harder tasks for people to accompish...so congrats!

I had the problem too with it not being as realistic as I wanted. It was more like waching it on a screen, than actually being there. I think it's somehting that will take practice. But it's a great first step to just do it. Now you know you can and can make it better next time.

Thx TS. I'm going to keep something with me to touch next time I get lucid. It helps keep the dream so real. I have to remember if nothing is in reach and I can't walk, like in that first lucid, to just pull something out of my pocket. I think that will really help me stay in the dream.

Tonight should be the night too. I haven't had any supplements all week, and tonight I have time for Galantamind and WBTB, which worked last week. I haven't been reality checking and autosuggesting as much as I should have, but still more than I used to.

It's gonna be rough getting it on with Jessica Alba while holding a watering can, LOL.

Anyway

4-25-08

Really good recall last night. One time I got up and thought I only remembered a fragment, then once I started writing it down, it all came back to me, and was huge! Then I had a dream and thought I forgot everything when I woke up, but when I got up, it came back to me too. I had a multivitamin last night after not having taken one for 2 days, so that probably helped.

555 timer circuit

In this one, I was working on a circuit with a 555 timer. That's the one for making LED's blink that I'm using to try to make a lucid dreaming mask IRL. I don't remember what kind of circuit I was making, but I was testing it with some people. I hardly remember this part, but the vibrations were too strong.

Then I had a circuit for making video game weapons too. One was a longbow with swords sticking out of the ends, and the other was a pike, like the one from the Sci Fi Channel movie, Gryphon. (Which was really fake and cheesy, but it wasn't a bad story, I guess). Everyone who saw these weapons thought I was awesome for being able to make them.

Changing pencil sharpener/quicksilver/battle at the witch's house

This was the epically long dream that I thought I only remembered a fragment of. It started when I was getting my pencil sharpener out of my drawer in my bedroom. (I have this pencil sharpener IRL that I got as a prize in 4th grade for something. It has a carved wooden rabbit on top standing on his hind legs, holding a turnip). Well, I took him out of the drawer, and the rabbit wasn't the same as he was before. He was kinda turned to his side and on all fours with the turnip next to him. I was like, this isn't my pencil sharpener, but then I turned him on his side, and it changed again! Now he was a black cat. I was like, "This pencil sharpener is even cooler than I thought!" I had somehow convinced myself that the sharpener changed, depending on what angle you looked at it. Then I turned the black cat upside down and it turned into a tiny bed, with a witch's hat draped point-up over the headboard.

I was showing this to people. I think Jill (Holly's friend, whose house we used to go to for parties in the fall) from skating was there. The pencil sharpener had now become quicksilver, but it was okay to hold it because it had a protective covering that was like black and purple silk. It was about the size and shape of a hackey sack, but filled with mercury. The protective covering wasn't really silk, it was actually made of mercury too. I don't remember how it happened, but somehow my pencil sharpener/quicksilver ball fell into a shower. I think we were in Jill's basement. Water was pouring over my mercury which had disintegrated into a bunch of mercury puddles on the shower floor. I was like "Oh no! We have to keep it from going down the drain!" I turned the shower off, but the water was still trickling out of the head, quite a bit. I turned the shower head away and then I was able to gather up all the mercury from the floor. Jill helped me as we scooped it forward with our hands and then she poured her puddle of mercury into my hands. It dried out and the same purple and black coating came back. I was so happy that I hadn't lost it.

The next thing I remember is I think I had made it change into the witch's bed. Then I was in the witch's house! I was with someone else, my friend Ron, I think? I'm not sure, but we were with all these other people in there. They were under the power of the witch and were going to get us or something. I remember Ken Z. from work was there. He was carrying an old door, sideways, with another guy. All of them chased us, and we ran into this other room. The room had two doors, like hotels with adjoining rooms. Before we could close the first one, I had to fight off Ken Z., who had almost reached the doorway. I grabbed the doorjamb and lifted myself up and kicked him with both feet, right in the face! It didn't do anything, so I moved back a little and with a leaping start, did it again! I looked at one of the other guys out there. He rolled his eyes at Ken like he was disgusted with him. Then we closed both doors and were in the other room. Sometime during all this, I thought about lucid dreaming! I thought I was dreaming about lucid dreaming. It was really weird, and if I was in some way lucid, I was completely out of control, so I'm not counting it.

I also remember a fragment during this dream where I was making a 8.5"x11" flyer for Christmas. I was sticking all these ceramic Christmas figurines to the paper. There was some writing at the top and I wrote the word "IN" up there on the back side of the paper, which was translucent. I had to write it backwards though, so it would read correctly from the top. There was one figurine that wouldn't attach to the flyer. I had to find a board with a peg to use with it, and I was looking for it. That's all I remember.

I'm a cop, again

I woke up from this one and thought I didn't remember anything. Then I got up, and it all came back to me. I was with Glenn, my former boss, and we were cops. We were undercover in this criminal's house and we were talking to him, trying to gain his trust. I didn't really know well what was going on, but Glenn did, so I was just kind of following his lead. The criminal finally decided we were trustworthy, and went up this set of stairs to his room, I guess. Me and Glenn were in the living room about to follow him, when we saw a few handguns sitting on some bookshelves. I guess we didn't have our own guns, because he motioned for me to pick one up, and he took two. I picked it up and put it in my right back pocket.

We went upstairs and I was kinda nervous. I was worried that the criminal would check me for weapons and would find the gun. We were all sitting at this table and the criminal got up for something. He looked at me and said, "Hey! Wait a minute!" Then he started frisking my pockets as I sat there. But he only checked my front and back pocket on my left side, so he didn't find the gun. I was worried, but tried to act like "WTF are you doing? Don't you trust me?" So he then walked away to do whatever he was doing.

The next thing I remember is the criminal led us to the hideout of these other criminals. They were black guys and were drug dealers. We sat down with them, and I didn't know what I was supposed to do, so I waited for Glenn to do something. There was also this woman cop with us at this point. After talking to the drug dealers for a while, Glenn and the woman cop stood up and pulled their guns out on them, so I did the same. I noticed no one had a gun on the two main drug dealers sitting behind a table, so I pointed mine at them. The gun felt really real!

Then Glenn told me that I should go get a bundle of the drug dealers' money so I could put it toward building my new house, (which we actually are going to build next year IRL). I knew this was wrong, but figured that it's just what cops do, and Glenn was in charge, so I figured it was okay. I went downstairs and rummaged through a drawer in a cabinet underneath their TV, but I couldn't find any money. I think I found a big brick of drugs at one point, and thought of taking that, but decided I didn't want to be bothered trying to sell it. I wanted their cash. I think I eventually found it. They were in bundles of $20,000 each. I picked up like 4 bundles, then went back to Glenn and the woman cop who were still pointing their guns at the drug dealers and the criminal. I told him I took 4 bundles so I would have enough. $20,000 wouldn't be enough to build my house, but $80,000 would make a good down payment. (Our house is f***ing huge). I think it was at this point I woke up.

Visiting black people/play

I only remember a few fragments of this one. I was at this house with my mom and wife where there were these black and latino people. They were putting on a play for us which was pretty good, though I don't remember what it was about. Then they started doing the play in spanish, which was okay for me, but totally lost my mom and my wife. My mom said this play wasn't very good, and I said it was just because she couldn't understand it.

So we went to a different room, which was, I think, someone's bedroom, and sat down in there for a while. Then we went out the front door and were in this neighborhood with some really nice houses. I commented on how pretty the houses were here. There was a black family coming out of one across the street. That's really all I remember.

Far out, awesome recall!
I'm thinking about finally looking into this GalantaMind stuff. After reading Aquanina's latest dream... how could I not?
I kind of resist supplements and stuff, I don't even take panadol if I have a headache. But I WANT one of those dreams...

Hahaha, I'm sure you could think of something else to grab onto with JA so close by.

LOL, I'm sure I will.

Took the Galantamind, and even tried 100 mg 5HTP before bed, but still didn't get lucid. I had terrible recall too before the WBTB, and nearly forgot the one dream I had after when I drifted off trying to WILD. A pretty crappy night really.

Annoyed at church

I only remember from this one that we were at church. It was like an evening service, which we never have IRL. The pastor, who is always taking longer than he's supposed to for his sermons IRL was doing the same thing in my dream. Me and my mom were annoyed at this. We were talking about it afterwards as we were walking in the store.

Epic battle/Australian TV show

This one happened as I was laying in bed trying to WILD and drifted off from like 8 to 9. In the beginning, I only remember a fragment of someone telling me about this mythical item that warriors or generals or something were trying to get. I was like, "Is this happening now? Or did it happen sometime in history. I saw an image of a bunch of warriors running across a battlefield with swords and spears and sheilds. It looked very medieval, so I concluded that it happened a long time ago.

Then the dream shifted somehow, and I was in the same place, which was like an immense, dark room. The part I was in now though was a little more brightly lit. I was watching an Australian game show. There were these two teams that would have to fight each other. Then the winning team would choose a champion who would fight every member of the other team alone. The final battle was almost always against a kangaroo! This episode was special though. At this point, I think I was in the audience of the show, which was standing all around the fighters. Someone told me that this would be the first episode where the final battle would be between two humans. The champion from the one team fought off all the other guys. He was fighting the last guy and was kicking him lightly in the face. He kicked him a lot of times, not hard, but was really hurting him bad.

The next thing I remember is the referee, who I think was a woman, stopped the fight so a bunch of visiting kindergarteners could walk across the arena. There were a lot of people standing around, so there wasn't hardly any room for the fighters. A line of kindergarteners, who were pressed really close together with some sweatshirts in between them, walked up and stopped in the middle of the arena.

I don't remmber much else, but after I woke up, I felt the vibrations pretty strongly. I then had some strong HI of me being upside down with my feet on one of the beams on the ceiling.

Overall, it was a pretty crappy night. I was so hoping for a lucid and I thought I did everything just right.

Have you tried just looking at and examining your hands instead of having to grab something to look at? It always works for me, to examine my hands up close in detail, every little hair and wrinkle. Brings the lucid into extreme focus. =)

And hell yeah for the GalantaMind, worked again last night. I think I'm going to again tonight and make it 5 in a row if I can.

Strive for 5! ...as my volleyball team used to say, when we were going for our 5th straight state championship haha.

Hey, I'll give it a try. I have looked at my hands in dreams, but not in precise detail. Once I looked at them and they scared me for some reason.

4-27-08

Crappy night and crappy recall. I did remember a couple dreams from after my WBTB. Now I only remember a part of it. I couldn't get lucid, but Hiros was there, so I must have been at least thinking of dreaming.

Physics club with Hiros

In this one, I was a part of a physics club at my old college. My physics professor was the faculty advisor. We were in one of my old classrooms and he was teaching us something.

The next thing I remember is that we were talking about moving a turret from another one of the buildings at the school. It was a big project, of course, and there was some complicated engineering going on that I don't remember anything about. I was talking to this girl about it though and we were walking across the quad.

Then I remember that I was in a cafeteria, and the frame of the turret, or a replica of it was in there. It was made of threaded rods, with nuts at the level of the floor. I guess the floor attached to the nuts somehow. I remember Hiros was there, as well as some girl I didn't know. They were talking about the structure or something, I don't remember. I do remember Hiro's voice. He didn't sound at all Australian, just normal, like everyone else I know. He looked in this dream kinda like an older version of this kid I went to grade school with, Matt C. (Who is now an army ranger, from what I heard).

I don't remember anything else. I know I had another short dream, but I've forgotten it over the course of the day. It wasn't so hot anyway.

4-28-08

Good night for recall, but I really wanted to get lucid. Oh well. I tried the trick with the cell phone on vibrate in my hand from 4:45 to 6:45, but it just ended up waking me up.

Disjointed dream, including The House

This dream was all over the place, and I'm not sure how the events even go together. I woke up at like 3:10 am or so and barely remembered the tail end of this. I figured I should write it down though, because I really wanted to get lucid today. Then I found as I was writing and waking up a little more, I remembered more and more of it. I was glad too, because part of it was about The House. I thought when I remembered that, that I may have actually been lucid, but now I don't think I was. It was just an ordinary dream about The House.

It started off with me at this strip mall at Pearl Rd. and Brookpark. I was near the video game store and was telling someone about The House. I was trying to tell them just how huge it was. I said, "It's not even like if you were 0.5" tall that the house would be 80" long. It's more like 800" long! (The House is apparently very hueg)! I was then standing near Brookpark Rd. and was watching this lady carry out a bag from the Gamestop to her car. (The store isn't really a Gamestop IRL). I watched as she put it into her trunk and caught a glimpse of a PS3 box in the bag.

The next thing I remember is I was trying to build something. I had some boards that I had bought from Lowe's at Ridgepark Square. I was trying to bring them home by placing them under the rear windshield wiper of my car. (LOL) It wasn't working too well, and then I accidentally turned on the windshield wiper and the boards fell off!

I also remember near the end, a fragment of something about Spartacus. (We were going to watch High Noon yesterday IRL, but my wife didn't want to. I told her it was a classic, like Spartacus). I think I was watching a documentary about him on the History Channel. I only remember something about 923 BC. (Yeah, I know). Now that I think about it, it may have been about a different slave rebellion and they were just talking about Spartacus for reference and that's why the date is wrong.

Hicks disassembling picnic table/Creepy guy wants to abduct my son!

In this one, I first remember there were these two hillbilly guys who I think I was watching on the DIY Channel. They were teaching people how to disassemble a picnic table which was half submerged in a swamp. This table was really cool though and I thought it was a shame they were ruining it. The slats that made up the tabletop were attached at the ends to another board with half-blind box joints. I thought this was really cool and unusual. I remember they were trying to use a Dremel to remove the edge of these slats which was glued on to the rest of the board. I guess they had to do this to separate the box joints. I also remember something about them drilling into the edges of the tabletop at various points. I don't remember or don't know what this was for.

In another part of this same dream, (I don't know how it transitioned), I was looking at a DVD box someone was carrying. It was a movie called "The Disappeared" and the letters "ared" were tilted down from the rest of the word and it was written in a blurry font, like "Disturbia" IRL. I think it was a movie about aliens abducting peoples' children.

The next thing I knew, I was a woman! I was in this deserted alley with my grown son (I have no kids IRL) and we were running from this guy. I knew he was an alien and wanted to kidnap my son. We ran around the corner to the back of the building and hid in the back door of an abandoned grey school bus. The guy then walked past, looking for us, but he didn't turn around as he passed the school bus. If he had, he would have seen us for sure, because the door wasn't shut. The guy was really creepy and was all blurry around the edges. I figured this was because he was an alien or ghost or spirit or something.

He then went away and me and my son left the bus and went back out the way we came. I was now male again and was talking to him about who we thought the creepy guy was. He thought it was this author who wrote a book that took place in Chicago, where we apparently used to live. He had stolen my son's watch.

We came to the street, which was Pearl road, I think. We were near the back of Coconuts (Actually an FYE music store now, but it used to be called Coconuts). It was winter and there was snow on the road. A police car drove by and from up the street a little compact car with a plow attached to the front was plowing the snow. LOL.

Then me and my son started talking about sports. I think there was another guy with us now too. I don't remember all of what we said. I think at one point, he said something about "Ramirez really being a tragedy." I guess Manny Ramirez got killed? I don't know. Then he said, "But Michael Jordan is really the king." I think because we saw an abandoned basketball laying in the snow next to the sidewalk. He then said, "But it added 25 points to his game once he started 'polishing his engineer!'" I think he was talking about masturbation? Then I woke up.

Chinese movie, story sticks and dimensional travel

This dream was longer than I thought upon waking up. Just like before, I woke up and thought I only remembered the tail end, but then after I woke up a little more, I recalled more and more details. I had my cell phone in my hand, set to go off after 30 minutes on vibrate, to hopefully induce lucidity that way. It didn't work. It just woke me up instead. It may have helped my recall though by making me sleep more lightly. I don't know.

The dream started with me either watching a movie, or a part of a movie. I was with this Chinese guy who was apparently my father. We lived on what I can now only describe as a giant stalagmite in an immense cavern. The stalagmite was the size of a mountain, and I only call it that because it was in the cavern. We were walking up this earthen ramp that spiraled around the stalagmite. In some places it had steps, and the Chinese guy said something philosophical about steps or something I don't remember.

I then remember another part of this dream where I was looking at these kids. I was also a kid and we had these long black shoelaces. They were folded over several times into a bundle about 6 laces thick and about 3 feet long. I somehow knew that these shoelaces were used to travel between dimensions. They worked by putting the one end of the shoelace into a loop tied at the other end. (IRL yesterday, I was bundling up some straw that I had been using to insulate my silver maple trees in their pots during the winter, and I tightened it with a loop at one end and putting the other end of the string through it. So that's where this comes from). I also had a bunch of these little pegs that the dream called "story sticks." They were about an inch long, some were a half inch, and made of either plastic, wood, or hematite. I had about 10 of them at home, but when I was with these kids, I guess we were in another dimension, because the sticks were rare. Me and my friend, (I don't remember who it was, if anyone in particular), had found two of them. We were so happy because even thought the shoelaces would work without the story stick, they worked better with it. The other two kids who were with us just looked at us while we were celebrating having two story sticks. I then felt bad, because I knew they thought we should give them one of the sticks. I don't think we did though.

I was then back in my kitchen at home. I guess I teleported back to this dimension or something. I had all my story sticks together and was going to put them neatly in this shoebox. Somehow, I dropped them in the shoebox and they got all jumbled up in there. I was horrified by this for some reason. I was trying to pick them all back out of the shoebox, and then I think I woke up.

4-29-08

Crappy recall last night. I have no idea why.

I started off with a fragment of me plugging a transistor into a breadboard. That must have come from the lucid dreaming mask I'm trying to make.

Strange library

Then I had a dream about this library. I don't remember a whole lot, but I went in there for something and there was a lady who I think was indian. She had dark skin anyway, and was greeting people at the door. I walked in further and there was an indian man. He was standing with his arms in a strange position, sort of half-folded, and asked me if I needed help with anything. I said no politely and went to these shelves that were about 5 ft high in the middle of the library. I guess I was in the colonial America section, because there was a cookbook by, or about, Benjamin Franklin. It had an ink outline drawing of him on the front mixing some batter in a bowl. I somehow thought that Ben Franklin had been a baker. I then looked for the books I had come for. They were books by James Lincoln Collier (He wrote "My Brother Sam is Dead") and a co-author. I found the books and one was called "Meet the Hastings." It was apparently about some family that once lived in colonial America. That's about all I remember.

Back at high school

I know this was a much longer dream, but I only remember fragments. I was back in high school and was at lunch in the cafeteria. I was with a couple of my old friends. I remember Geordie H. was there, but I don't specifically remember who else. We were talking and having a good time, but I missed my other friend, Chris B. (He was my best friend in high school IRL. He then joined the army and was a gunner on a hum-Vee in Iraq. When I saw him at the reunion, I got the impression he killed a lot of people, but he didn't talk about it). Anyway, I asked one of the other guys if he was in a different lunch period. They said he was. I don't remember what else happened, but I know there was a lot I don't remember.

4-30-08

Horrible recall again. I did remember a slight bit more of my second dream, but was lazy and didn't write it down like I should have and now I forgot it. I'm so mad at myself, but I'm so sleepy at night. It's hard to keep motivated when it's been so long since I had a lucid at all on a weekday.

A couple fragments

These are from early in the night. I woke at about 3 and wrote down what I remembered. If I had stayed awake longer, I may have remembered more.

There was this girl who was throwing boulders into outer space. She wasn't lifting them though, she was using telekenesis or something. I think they would glow blue when she did it too. Kinda like Kenshi's attack in Mortal Kombat. Anyway, she threw them into outer space, and they somehow caused a storm to form. Either she or I was hoping that it wouldn't bring on a storm, but when she did it, sure enough, dark grey clouds gathered around the spot where the boulder went up.

Later, I think it must have been in the same dream, I was walking down the street and there were all these people who were acting as the contractor and building their own house. There was a big mound of dirt all the length of the sidewalk, and I was walking on it. In front of one house, there was like a stack of clay drainage pipes. They were stacked end to end with some turned on their sides, and I guess were glued together. I walked by and stepped on top of them and they rocked a little bit. I thought this was dangerous to have in the path.

I really should have written down the second one. I tried to commit it to memory, but it got erased. I have brief moments now where I think I'm about to remember something about it, but I can't bring up any details.

5-1-08

Worst recall ever last night. I even meant to get up and write down my dreams, but every time I woke up, I found I couldn't remember anything to write down. I was so mad. I didn't remember anything until I was halfway to work. Then I barely recalled this one fragment.

Flooded causeway fragment

I don't even know if this was a longer dream or not. I think there may have been some more to it, but I only remember that I was out on a causeway that led to a pier. I can now pretty vividly remember the lake, which was pretty small and I could see the shore for a long way around, but I knew it was Lake Erie. The pier was wider than the causeway and looked a lot like the platform in the Metroparks in Berea that overlooks the gully. It had handrails around the edge.

I was with Kathleen M. from work. We were in a car and she was driving down the causeway. When I looked at the pier, it was dry, but at some point, the water covered it and the causeway. This didn't seem unusual or strange, but it did get kinda scary. We were driving and were trying to navigate past the waves. One time though, we hit a big wave dead on and it picked up the car and pushed us back up the causeway. Then she drove more carefully and waited til the trough of a wave came in and drove out there.

I also remember something about these valves for, like, water pipes that were on a counter that ran around the pier. They were in little wooden compartments and I picked one up at one point and put it back in the wrong way. I took it out and put it back in right.

And that's all I remember from last night. I sure hope I do better this weekend.

Damn My recalls been declining as well. I think due to stress and really late nights.
Last night I didn't recall anything until like an hour after I got up, a few fragments came to me.

5-2-08

Slightly better recall last night. I woke after the first dream of the night and only remembered a fragment. Then I woke at 3:30 after another dream and couldn't remember anything. At 4:40 the same thing happened, but I had resolved to get up and take a choline, so when I did that, I started to remember a little more and eventually remembered most of the dream. After that though, I recalled nothing.

Dreamviews fragment

This one wasn't so bad, because I at least dreamed about dreaming. I only remember that I was either on Dreamviews reading or posting, or maybe I was talking to someone about DV. I don't remember.

Boring work dream

In this one, I was at work, like usual. Maybe if I start thinking of work as a dreamsign, it'll go away like all my other dreamsigns do. (I haven't dreamed about Holly for weeks now).

Anyway, the first thing I remember is going to the bathroom. I was walking down the aisle between the cubicles and saw this guy talking. I don't know, or don't remember who it was. He stopped talking to the other person and literally ran to the bathroom. I figured it must be an emergency. When I walked in, I saw him frantically trying to unzip his pants as fast as he could in front of the urinal. I was like, whatever, and noticed that all the stalls were occupied. Almost immediately though, the door of one opened and the guy inside left. I went in and peed, and I pretty vividly remember that I moved away from the toilet, because I felt I was too close and didn't want anything to splash on my nice suede shoes.

When I left the stall, I think, there was a cardboard box of stuff that people had left lying around. I guess it was like a lost and found box in the bathroom. I looked through it and realized to my horror, that my favorite pen in the whole world was in there! (It's a black Papermate Epic with tiny sparkles in the black part, which they don't make any more). I was so glad that I had found it though.

Then I left, and was out in the rat maze of cubicles. I was sitting down near where SA sits IRL, which is really far from my real rat trap (cubicle). There were two guys sitting next to me. One was KK, (who I really respect, because he doesn't work any harder than he has to, and I often see him surfing the web instead of working). There was another guy talking to him, who I didn't recognize. Just like IRL, they were talking to one another and ignoring me, which was fine, I wasn't too interested in their conversation anyway, (just like RL usually). They were talking about class schedules at the college. Apparently, one of the classes wasn't being offered, or he had missed the enrollment date or something, and then the guy said to KK, "I don't care though, I'm single, I'm not in a hurry to graduate for anything." Then I chimed in and said, "You know though, it's better if you get done as soon as possible, because then you start making more money sooner. You'll make more over your lifetime." Then I held up my hands and spread them apart, like to signify the length of the timeline. Then he replied, "I don't care. What difference will it make if one day I don't go out with my friends, so I can say I made 'this much' versus 'this much?'"

I don't remember if I replied or not, but the next thing I knew, there was someone who brought their kids to work. They were having like a parade of the mother with three kids walking down the middle aisle. One of the kids ran on ahead and then the mother came, then two of the kids were riding these little, like, Fisher-Price plastic scooters that played music when you moved forward. I thought in the dream that it was ice-cream-truck music, but it was actually "Sleigh Ride" by Amy Grant, (which I haven't heard since Christmas). I thought in the dream, "Hey, my wife has this same song as a ringtone on her cell phone!" The two guys who were sitting next to me had turned into girls somehow. One of them called out to the kids "Chica! Chicarra!" (I guess they must have been Puerto Rican)?

Then one of them asked the other if she wanted to split a hot dog with her. I guess there was a hot dog stand at work somewhere.

That's all I remember.

5-3-08 - Epic Night!

tl;dr: Last night was great! I went to sleep at about 12:45 and set my alarm for 5:45. I woke at 5:35, stayed up for an hour, then BTB. I had a whole string of lucids separated by false awakenings and at least one DEILD, starting at, I think, 8:40 until 9:30. All I had was my multivitamin last night and 2 Galantamind this morning.

My return party at my old job

In the first dream, before my WBTB, I had just moved back to Texas, and I was back at my old job. The people there were throwing a party for my return. (I always liked that job better than the one I'm at now). Pastor Wood was there, and so was my old boss, Glenn. There was a blonde woman giving a presentation about the projects she was working on. After her presentation was over, I walked up to talk to her, and for some reason, she was now a little girl. I shook her hand and told her that I used to do construction management. I got the impression that they hired her to take over my projects after I left. I hoped they would still have the same kind of jobs for me to work on. Then, she was 3 little indian girls. There was a cake they had sitting on a table for my party. I understood the 3 indian girls brought it. I was walking around large room and the cake was on table. It was then in a box and I was carrying a big plastic kitchen bag, shaking it open. I think the indian girls wanted me to put the cake in my bag for them, but they didn't want to ask. My wife was looking at things on the tables. Food maybe? Then I decide to go to bathroom, which adjoined a room that I was living in and sharing with Dave S., my friend from high school (not the crippled guy from work). So I was standing at the urinal with it out, when I notice the door is open leading to my bedroom. I close it, but there's bubble wrap around jamb and door. It still caught, but through another door to right, a guy came in and saw me with it hanging out. I tried to hide it, but he still laughed at me.

Then I was watching a commercial for rust stain remover for bathtubs. It took 10 years for it to work. I saw an image of a tile bathtub on which someone wrote something about stains in red crayon or rust. I then saw a montage of photos over 10 years in which the writing and stains gradually disappeared.

Then for some reason my thoughts went back to where we would live now that we're back in Houston. The name, "Brunswick, TX," came up. I saw a map and it was just west of the beltway on I 10. I thought it would be perfect and remember a fragment of driving out there.

Epic lucids! False awakenings! Control/No control! Flying!

I woke up at 5:35 and took my Galantamind. I stayed up for one full hour, til 6:45. I looked at a couple pictures of Jessica alba for inspiration, but only for a few minutes near the end, because I thought too much excitement would ruin my chances for lucidity. Then I went BTB. I used my meditation engine on the best 12-21-07 preset and tried to WILD on my left side. At about 7:40 I gave that up and turned to my right side. Finally at 8:40, I think I gave up and just tried to sleep. I'm not sure, because that may have been an FA. Anyway, as I tried to fall back asleep, I kept repeating "This is a dream," in my head, and eventually I fell asleep.

There's quite a bit to the dream, I think, before I started remembering. The first thing I remember though is I had a false awakening and my wife had her arm around me. Then we got up and it was 8:30 or so and she was acting "frisky" if you know what I mean. We played around for a while. We were in this bed and breakfast called "APlaceToFeedYourPets.com." Then I went outside and there were all these people out there in some woods. I may have been lucid at this point, but I'm not sure. If I was, I had no control. The people were all standing around this stone tree well where they were measuring the heights of kids and marking it on the stone with a pencil. I had just arrived as they were finishing and some lady was reading from a paper. She said, "Okay, do we have anyone over 9 feet? 6 or 7? We have a 1 foot. Any others? I was waiting for her to call out over 5 feet, even though I didn't take part, but she didn't.

Then I had a false awakening, and I knew it was an FA! I was laying in bed and there was a computer monitor in front of me. The screen was scrolling and it looked sort of like 4chan, but I don't think it was. At first I could only see it with my left eye, but then after a while of looking at it, my right eye turned on. I couldn't move at this point, because I was sure if I did, I would move my real body. So I just laid there and watched the monitor. Eventually the scrolling slowed down and stopped.

Then I'm pretty sure I woke up for real. I could feel the vibrations really strongly, then they slowed down in the familiar sinking feeling, but I kept them going by thinking about them. I didn't move and DEILDed right back into a dream! I was then in the woods where they were doing the height measuring. I was out there walking on top of a long line of big 55 gallon plastic trash cans with the dome lids turned upside down. (We use a can like this to store cat food in at home. Our cat likes to sleep in the hollow of the dome). I was walking and couldn't stop. In my hands, I had this little beige plastic box. It was some kind of electronic device that I didn't know what it was. It had six little wire leads sticking out of the bottom. I was compelled to keep walking, but I could turn the box over in my hands. I was glad to have it because I thought like the watering can in my last lucid, that it would keep the dream more realistic. Eventually, my steps slowed down, completely out of my control, and I jumped down from the can. I thought of Jessica Alba then and started to think of how I would summon her.

Then I had another false awakening. I was in the woods again in a screened in patio, that was sort of like my old screenroom at the trailer, but more square. I was lucid from the very beginning. There was no lapse at all. This time I was in complete control. It was awesome. I stepped out the door and noticed I was barefoot on the wooden step. It was warm and humid outside though, like it had just rained. So it felt cool, but really nice. I thought of my goals again, and decided I would try a simple one first: flying. I spread my hands, palms up, and let myself float off the ground by visualizing a force pushing against the bottom of my feet. It felt great! I floated higher and higher through the trees. They were all black locust or honey locust trees. As I rose, I thought, "Crap, I don't have anything to touch to keep the realism," but then I thought, "I'll just reach out and touch the trees!" I did, and it felt really real! It was so great. Then I noticed that there was a rainbow colored piece of fabric snagged up in the tree. It wasn't very big. Then as I rose higher, I saw more of them. These other ones were longer too. Finally, I reached the tops of the trees. They looked like they had been cut off at some point in the past, but now there were leaves and branches sprouting up around the cut part.

I stopped rising and looked out across the trees. There was a street, and across the street was a beautiful, calm lake. I thought, "Okay, let's try to fly really fast!" I was going to swoop over the lake and fly close to the water. I tilted myself forward and again tried to visualize a force acting against the soles of my feet. I started moving forward, slowly, but started to gain speed. But before I could reach the lake, I woke up for real.

Cleaning the garage

After these awesome lucids, I struggled to fall asleep. I eventually had a dream where I was cleaning out my garage. It wasn't mine though. It belonged to someone else. There were these boards in the garage which I cleared out while some contractor installed new hose on house. Then when I was done, some guy with blonde hair walked into the garage. I walked away, but he wanted me to take the boards out of left side of garage. He said he needed a clear space to cast out the evil spirits from the garage. I was like, whatever and I kept trying to walk away, but he kept calling me back. So I went back and took them out and he started chanting.

Then I started washing the lawn mower with the garden hose, which was like 2" in diameter. The hose reel fed into the house and it came out the back. I think I said something like, "That's neat." Then I finished with the lawn mower and started mowing. I walked toward the front of the house and saw some dry dog food sitting on the lawn near corner of Steve's house. Someone said they left it out for a wolf. Then I saw the wolf coming. It was green and had a mohawk and chains. He was really scary looking. I gave it a lot of room. Then I was looking at comic book of guy named "Wolf" who looked just like him. I didn't want to, but felt compelled to read all of the comics. All I remember of them was he was sitting with other guys looking tough.

WOOT! I got lucid again tonight too! It wasn't quite as realistic, but it was more interesting.

Motel fragment

This was from before my WBTB. Sadly, it's the only one I have from those 5 hours. All I remember of this one was that I was at this motel. It had outdoor corridors and stairways. I only vaguely remember doing something having to do with audio electronics stuff. I also remember walking around the parking lot, talking with someone. Then I pretty vividly remember that I was no longer staying in the room at the motel, but was standing at the bottom of the stairway. I watched as two enormously fat black women walked into the room I had once stayed in. I was like, "Yuck. are they sitting on the same bed I once sat on?" I thought they must be, because I saw them turn the corner at the door and walk toward where the bed was. One of them had a movie from Redbox in her hand. I did too. That's all I remember.

Part 1: Cat shelter on my land

I am so hyped. I filled up 3/4 of one of my notebook sheets with this one, and there was quite a bit more that I didn't remember. It happened again from 8:40 til about 9:40, after I had drifted off from WILDing, then gave it up. Again, I was on my right side and had taken 2 Galantamind and a choline. I fell asleep trying to tell myself, "The next thing I see will be a dream. I'm dreaming; I know this is a dream."

THe first thing I remember is we were out visiting the land where we're going to build our house next year. It wasn't really the land though, it was The Field near where I used to live. Somehow, somebody had been building things on the land. I didn't mind this, because I figured we would tear it all down when we were ready to build. There were a bunch of things, but the only ones I remember were a McDonald's and a little open shed that was used as a shelter for homeless cats. The first thing I noticed was the shelter for cats. I thought it was so cool, and decided that even when we built our house, we would keep this shed, but move it to our back yard. I said to my mom, "You know, we spend all this time building houses for birds, but we never thought about a place for cats!" There were about 10 or so cats sleeping in there. It was really real. Inside also, there was a breakfast table for people with four metal chairs next to a window. It looked really cozy and there were a couple cats sleeping on it in the sun.

I was on a bicycle I think, and put my hand down to call a cat to me. Most were afraid, but two came. One was black, like my cat Draba, and one was orange and white, like my mom's cat Elvis, but this one had long hair. The black cat jumped up and almost landed on my hand, but I couldn't support him, so it was just like he gave me five with his four paws.

I also went into the McDonald's afterwards, but don't remember much of what happened in there.

Part 2: Sex and violence DILD

The next thing I remember is that me, my mom and my wife were going into this store. I don't know which one, but it was kinda like a drugstore, or Marc's. As soon as we walked in, I said, "I want some candy." My mom also wanted some candy, but a different kind, I guess, so she went off on her own. Me and my wife then went down the candy aisle.

Then, get this, I was looking at a bag of Werther's Originals, and the picture of the candy on the bag looked like it spelled "LUCID!" But I didn't get lucid from this. I mentioned it to my wife though, and said "Hey, I want some Lucids," because, of course, I'm into that. I then remember looking at the other side of the aisle, and there was a bag full of chocolate donuts, the top one of which had a face painted on it. It made the whole thing look like a goofy-looking black football player. I literally LOL'ed at that. I was laughing so hard, and I fell onto the floor and was sitting there in the aisle looking at it. I checked my pocket for my palm pilot so I could take a picture of it because I wanted to post it on 4chan. I was disappointed that I didn't have it, so I asked my wife if she had her digital camera. She didn't.
As I was sitting there, some people walked past and I had to pull my legs in so they could get by. I didn't care until two hot asian babes walked by. They were apparently friends with my wife. I was embarrassed that I was sitting on the floor in the middle of the store in front of them.

The next thing I remember is I was walking around on my own for a while. I met up with this Russian guy, and I guess we were friends. Then we came across two undercover cops that were conducting a sting operation. They were dressed up as gay hookers. One had on a cop costume and spoke in a german accent. He had these blue metal tips that he was supposed to put on the front of his shoes. This was somehow a sexual thing, and he was trying to catch people soliciting him for sex. I walked up to him, because I wanted some of those blue foot tips to use next time I got it on with my wife. He thought I was soliciting him though, and was trying to arrest me. Then, for some reason, he was trying to arrest the Russian guy, who was standing behind me. I was keeping them apart though. Suddenly, for no reason at all, I became lucid. I was like, "This is a dream. You think you're gonna arrest my friend?" I then pushed him away from me and started to beat the crap out of him. All my strikes had the added power of my thoughts behind them and I think he was surprised that I was hitting him so hard. I backed him way down the aisle, to the side of an aisle that intersected at the end of the one we were in. He fell to the floor and I stepped on his head. I put all my weight on him, and then looked down. Some water was pooling around his head, and then turned kind of a blood red. Then I got off him, because for some reason I didn't want to kill him, even though I was lucid. I watched as he got up and some people helped him.

Then I walked away and decided I wanted to find Jessica Alba. The dream felt kinda unstable though, so I figured I would just go along with whatever the dream threw at me, but kept sex in my mind, because that's what I wanted to play out. I walked through the aisles, looking for Jessica Alba, but ended up finding my wife. She was in the clothing area, looking at some clothes on a table. I walked up to her and started taking her coat off. She had another coat on underneath. I took it off again, and kept finding coats. About this time, I looked to the right and there were two hot babes also shopping for clothes and looking with shock as I undressed my wife there in the store. I pointed at them and motioned with my hand for them to start taking their clothes off too. They looked at each other, smiled, then started to undress. This was gonna be great! Then I eventually got all the coats off my wife, and started taking off sweaters. One after another. She had about 6 of them on. Finally I came to the last one, and as I took it off, I tried to influence with my mind what kind of bra she would be wearing. I wanted a sexy pink one that exposed the nipples, but she ended up having none on at all.

Her breasts were kinda small, so I placed my hands over them to make them bigger with my lucid powers. I accidentally touched her nipples and she jerked back. She said they were really sensitive.

I looked to the left, and there were the two hot babes in nothing but their panties. The taller one was chasing the shorter one. Their panties had little poof balls around the waist, and I also saw that their skin was bunched up in little poof balls as well. I wasn't grossed out by that. I figured my subconscious thought that was sexy. I was holding my wife close to me and I looked at her face. She was really hot. Her lips were fuller than IRL and she had on some sexy red lipstick. She looked me in the eyes, and said she would be mad if I did something with those two babes, or maybe that I better not do something with them. I couldn't make out what the something was. She was talking, but not making sense. I just knew it had to do with the two girls. Just as things were about to get interesting, I woke up. I tried to DEILD, but only managed to see some HI of my wife, then I woke up for real.
