Thread: iadr's Lucid and Vivid Dream Journal

Restaurant - Singing Happy Birthday To A Guy
I find myself in a restaurant with a group of about 7 or 8 people who are all singing happy birthday to a guy. I am familiar with a couple of the ladies, one of which used to work in a thrift store I used to shop in. When I notice that 4 or 5 of the people are holding one of their hands up in the air while they are singing to the guy, I decide to join them and raise my right hand, as I think at first they are doing something like a pledge of allegiance. I then notice that they are all holding up their left hand instead of their right hand, so decide that they must all be Catholics who are doing some kind of religious ceremony. Unsure of what to do, I start to raise my left hand, but feeling a little uncomfortable in joining them, I end up just lacing my hands together behind my head and holding them there while I sing.

Grandma's House - Spending The Night
I am spending the night at my grandma's house (she only passed over about 25 years ago) with my parents (passed over 4 years ago), and my brothers. There are a couple of gals spending the night with us also. We are all relaxing with our heads up on something like a couch, and our bodies laying on a carpeted floor. I am thinking that we are going to sleep here for the night, but am thinking that it may give me a headache sleeping in this position with my head up so high. So I decide to go sleep in a bedroom I had discovered earlier where I find two very soft beds.

There are several bedrooms in this house, and this is the one that has been provided for me to sleep in by myself. As I get into the soft bed and pull the covers up over me I feel the transitions from the supplements I had taken earlier begin to kick in and am instantly lucid. I then begin hearing some really upbeat music and my body starts getting this really funny feeling in it. I think about recording what I am feeling on my digital voice recorder, but am unable to move my arm. It then starts thundering and lightning outside. Up until this time it had been a beautiful day outside.

Parking Garage - Changing TV Channels
I find myself in a parking garage with several floors in it when I remember a lucid task I want to complete of changing the channels on a TV to see what comes on. After I concentrate on manifesting a TV, I see a small 12 inch color TV sitting up high out of my reach with something like a movie playing on it. As I concentrate on changing the channels with my mind the channel changes to one with a couple of black guys, who appear to be doing either a newscast or a sports show. I then concentrate on changing the channel to a football game and am then find myself watching a football game. When 3 or 4 young guys walk up to me and ask me what I am doing, I show them how I am able to change the channel on the TV just by concentrating on changing the channel. They try this themselves and are successful at changing the channel. Two of them then get into an argument as they each want to watch a different channel. Back and forth they go changing the channel, first one changing it to what he wants to watch, and then the other changing it to what he wants to watch. Although it is quite funny watching them change the channel back and forth so fast, I regret having shown them how to do this. I then concentrate on another task I had wanted to complete of finding my body and reentering it, but I appear to not be out of my body at this point, because concentrating on finding my body just makes me aware that I am laying in my bed sleeping. I think about recording this lucid, but before I get a change I find myself in another lucid.

Work - Showing People How To Do Something
I am at work in this lucid, showing some people how to do something. Although this lucid is very vivid in my mind when I wake up, it is almost gone by the time I get ready to record it. I remember one of the gals in my dream being a heavy set gal that works in the same office as me, and I seem to be showing them how to do things by using their mind.

Erergizing - Floating Above My Body
After getting my energy circulating through my body, I feel the left half of my energy body half way out of my body. I am having a difficult time getting the rest of the way out though. I turn to the left and then to the right, but am still unable to get all the way out. Then my cat comes up and lays on top of me to distract me even more. I sense that it is actually my cats spirit that is on top of me though and not his body. I concentrate on floating and then find myself floating above my body while holding onto my cat. We float all around the room together. He seems to really be enjoying the experience. I then lapse into a horrible false awakening.

Court Case - Taking Over
This is one of the most interesting lucids I have ever had. The lucid starts out as a normal dream where I am in a court of law being tried for something. As this is exactly the same dream that I had experienced at an earlier time though, I suddenly realize the similarities in the dream and become lucid in it.

I tell everyone in the court room that we are dreaming, after which I take over the dream and begin telling the people in my dream what is going to happen next in the dream.

Just before the judge enters the courtroom I tell everyone in the dream that Judge Westoni is going to be entering the room in a few moments, after which he enters the room. I then tell them about 3 or 4 other things that are going to happen in the dream right before they happen. Everyone is quite amazed at how I can know that these things are going to happen before they happen.

While dreaming I remember having had this dream before, and having been lucid in it, although this must have been a dream that I had forgotten after waking up, because before this dream I had no recall of the dream previously. I remember how the first time I had the dream, I had been lucid in it, and had been able to make the dream go for a long time with perfect control.

So here I am supposedly being tried for something I did, but instead am walking around the front of the court room like some kind of big shot lawyer telling everyone what is going to happen next in the dream. When I am asked a question about why I did something I am totally prepared for it, and give them a very logical answer that just blows everyone right out of their seats.

When we break for lunch someone has brought in sandwiches for us that we are getting ready to eat. When someone asks where the chips are that they requested, the person in charge of the food grabs a hand full of tortilla chips and throws them out on the table in front of them.

About 3/4 of the way through this dream, I seem to run out of energy, and wake up, but up until that time the dream had repeated itself in perfect detail with the things that had happened the first time I had the dream.

This is the first time I ever remember anything like this happening to me in a dream.

Walking Down A Street - Lucid, Then Flying
I am walking down a street somewhere when I realize that I am dreaming, so start running and then take off flying. The flying in this dream is different than past dreams though because I seem to be really high in the air and am going really fast, so fast that I am unable to see much of anything except a blur. I am still elated to be lucid and be flying though.

Famous Sites - Visiting
In this lucid, which began as an image stream, I decide to go to the Grand Canyon. Once at the Grand Canyon I float all around enjoying the beautiful scenery, most of which I have forgotten when I get up from the lucid because of its length.

I then decide to visit Mount Rushmore. While attempting to find Mount Rushmore, I find myself viewing beautiful rock formations while floating along a mountain road, but I am unable to find the mountain with the Presidents heads carved in it. At one point I see a mountain of multi-colored rocks of all sizes and colors which is quite fascinating. I keep looking for the Presidents heads but am unable to find them. I become aware that I am spending a lot of time looking for Mount Rushmore, and that there are other places than this that I also wanted to visit, so think about leaving this place, and heading to my next destination. I then find myself inside a building at a tour spot where they supposedly give tours of Mount Rushmore, but even this seems to be taking a long time.

As I decide my lucid will probably be over before they get their tour started, I decide to leave this place and go to Mount Everest instead, so ask my subconscious to take me to Mount Everest. I find myself high upon a mountain on a lookout spot with some other people where I am enjoying looking down on the beautiful scenery below, so assume that I was on Mount Everest, although I have no way of knowing for sure.

Dad - Talking To
I am talking to my deceased dad in this dream in the house my parents used to live in. I then remember that my dad has passed to the other side so realize that I am dreaming, so tell my dad that I am dreaming, and that I am glad to see him, and that he really looks really good. I then give him a big hug. When I start talking to him about a private matter, I notice that someone is trying to listen in on our conversation, so tell him that I will talk to him about that matter later.

Mount Rushmore/Pyramids - Visiting
About 30 minutes after taking 8mg of galantamine with 500mg of choline and putting on a 7mg nicotine patch, I feel myself entering sleep paralysis. I am enjoying the relaxed feeling until I feel a spirit come and completely cover me like a blanket in an attempt to try to keep me from leaving my body, which I assume to be a female. I concentrate on floating out of my body to get past it, and soon find myself in a lucid dream flying high above some trees and valleys below while listening to some of the most incredible upbeat music I have ever heard.

I then remember some places I wanted to visit, so concentrate on going to the first place which is Mount Rushmore. I soon find myself at the same tour spot for Mount Rushmore that I was at in my last lucid, only this time I decide to take the tour. I speed the tour up by using my mind to have them not only get the tour started right away, but also have them put me at the front of the line. The tour begins with us touring the inside of Mount Rushmore in something like a slow roller coaster that takes through the inside of the mountain where they show us all kinds of interesting things. While in an auditorium listening to a presentation I notice an attractive young lady sitting a couple of seats over from me. I decide to join her, so scoot over next to her, and put my hand on her leg, and then hug her. As she seems to happy to have some company, I decide to take the rest of the tour with her.

I control myself and just enjoy being with her for the rest of the tour. At one point we come to a waterfall, which after we go over, we go down a long slide on the other side. When I begin concentrating on finding the mountain that the presidents heads are carved in, we end up at another location where we are looking at the presidents heads carved in the mountain. They look a bit different from where we are at though, because we are right up next to them, where we can see every little chisel mark in the rocks.

I finally decide to leave and head to my next destination, that of the pyramids. When I get to the pyramids, I find myself inside the pyramids, taking a tour inside the pyramids. I am fascinated by all of the things they are showing us.


Sun - Visiting
Once again I sense the same spirit come and lay over the top of me which brings me back into my body, only this time I also sense a couple of small animals like cats wrestling around on my bed. I then start hearing voices, although they are distant jumbled voices, not at all scary.

As I ignore the spirit and the cats, and concentrate on floating out of my body, I find myself flying up toward the sun. When I arrive at the sun I find myself inside of a place where there a bunch of people like scientists who are observing the sun. They are observing the sun from inside this dark, cave like place, to keep from being burned by the sun. I am taken through this place where they show me all kinds of neat things. They have various auditoriums where they hold lectures about various things about the sun. Although it is dark in this place, there are places that I am able to look out and see the sun, although the windows are shielded to keep the sun from being too bright.

The a really amazing experience. I really need to experiment with various dream control methods like that when I have my sleep schedule back to normal again.

Kitchen Clock - Looking At
I am looking at my kitchen clock in this dream, which shows 4:45am in the morning, which I know is wrong because I would be at work if it was this late. Because of the inaccuracy of the time I realize that I am dreaming.

Store - Revisiting
I am in a store that I had been in earlier in the night in another dream. The familiarity of the store causes me to become lucid. Is seems to be a thrift store of some sort as there are all kinds of old things hanging from nails on the wall. Although I had been quite fascinated by this store in my earlier dream, I am a little bored by it in this lucid, as I have already seen everything. I am thinking that the only reason I was fascinated with it in the earlier dream is that everything looked so unusual. I am thinking that I could start a similar store with all of the junk that I have in my basement just by sorting everything out and hanging it up on the wall like it is in this store.

Basement - Water On The Floor
I am in my basement when I notice some water on the floor in my bathroom. When I go to investigate, I find that there is not only water back by the stool, but that there is about 6 inches of water by the sink. Sensing that I might be dreaming, I try floating, and find that I am able to float, which causes me to become lucid. When I float up through the floor though it brings me too close to my body, and causes me to wake up.

Beaches - Visiting
After reaching a relaxed state by counting backwards from 5 to 1, I give myself a suggestion that when I count from 1 to 5 I will begin to see image streams. It works after about 5th time I repeat the number 5, and I begin getting images. As I concentrate on the images I enter into a false awakening in which I hear my wife talking to me and hear one of my cats meowing. Realizing that this is either a false awakening or else voices from the other side, I concentrate on floating, and feel myself floating out of my body and flying along the top of some trees. I remember a task I wanted to complete of visiting a beach, so concentrate on a beach I used to go to in Biloxi, Mississippi. When I arrive there it is winter time and there is snow all over the beach. Unhappy with the condition of this beach I concentrate on another beach I have visited and find myself on this beach next to an attractive lady in her swim suit. I seem to know this gal because I am putting suntan lotion on her back.

(Finally a lucid without having to use supplements as I was able to enter this one using hypnotic suggestions. The other lucids came later after taking galantamine).

Motorcycle Lady - Riding With
After recording an image stream about a bunch of motorcycle riders I begin concentrating on the scene again to see if I can draw myself back into the scene. It works and I find myself in a lucid dream in which I ask the motorcyclists if I can ride with one of them. Knowing that I would prefer to ride with a lady, they refer me to a female rider at the back of their group. As I get on behind her and hold onto her she takes off and we start flying up into the air. After flying through the air for a while she tells me that we no longer need the bike, so lets it go, and takes me off flying with her through the air without her bike.

Digital Voice Recorder - Not Working
I am trying to get my digital voice recorder to work, but it just won't come on. I finally realize that I am dreaming and that this is false awakening, but am still trying to get my voice recorder to work. I finally get control of the situation and realize that since I am dreaming that I have no need of this voice recorder, so just drop it and decide to do something more exciting. I take off flying through the building I am in and fly through the door after which I wake up.

Girlfriend - Sex
I am running around on the top of these buildings with an old girlfriend jumping from one building to the next. When my girlfriend gets on this one steep roof she starts sliding down the roof and is about to fall off. When she asks me for help, being the nice guy that I am, I tell her to just help herself since we are dreaming. She finds that she is able to control the situation by thinking her way out of it and then joins me at the top of the roof. I tell her "See I told you that you could handle that yourself". She then wants me to help her off of the roof we are now on, so I tell her that if we want to get off of the roof we are on, that all we need to do is to start flying, since we are still dreaming. We take off flying together and end up landing somewhere inside of a building. We seem to inside of a church in this room where there is a bed. How convenient. We begin having sex, but have no sheet on top of us, so are totally exposed to anyone who might walk into the room. This sex goes on for a very long time and is quite enjoyable. At one point, a priest walks into the room with some guy and sees us having sex. He seems a bit disappointed and leaves. After that I am thinking we should at least have a sheet pulled over us, so find a sheet that we had been laying on and pull that over the top of us while we continue having sex. I get on the side of her to make it looks like we are just laying next to each other so that if anyone else comes into the room they will not be able to tell we are having sex. Very satisfying dream.

Visiting Relatives, Became Invisible, Read A Newspaper, Visited Niagra Falls
My wife and I are staying with some relatives and they are all staying up late talking. As it is 230am in the morning I am wanting to go to bed and get some sleep. They show me a room that I can sleep in, but it has a small bed, and it is covered a bunch of my wifes things like her purse and coat. I start brushing them off of the bed to clear the bed off so I can lay down. My wife then comes in the room all pissed off that I am knocking her things off on the floor. She helps me clean her things off the bed, after which I lay down to get some sleep. The bed is really hard though as it feels like I am laying on a brick wall. Although I have a sheet on the top of me, there is nothing under me except for the bricks. I now notice that there are several lights on in the room as my wife apparently left them on when she left. I turn off 4 or 5 different table lamps all around the bed, which all turn off with no problem.

My wife then comes back into the room and joins me in bed, although when she gets in the bed it knocks me off onto the floor. As the floor feels like wood, and is more comfortable than the bed was, I decide to just go to sleep on the floor. I then notice my big cat Sterling playing with what looks like a little kitten. I am concerned that he might accidentally hurt the kitten because of his size. The kitten holds its own though as they wrestle around. The kitten then jumps up and bites me on the arm, although it leaves no marks or blood. I then notice that what I thought was a kitten is actually a squirrel.

Dissolved Myself, Then Reformed
I realize at this point because of all of the discrepancies in this dream that I am dreaming. As there are now a bunch of strangers in the room with me who are starting to annoy me, I decide to make myself invisible and leave. When I concentrate on becoming invisible I disappear, although the clothes I was wearing are still there. I decide that if I want them to not know where I am at that I will need to remove my clothes, so I take my clothes off and lay them in a corner. After taking my clothes off I become concerned about what would happen if I suddenly materialized, since I now have no clothes on. I realize that since I am dreaming that I could manifest some new clothes, so stop worrying about it, and head out of the room invisible and without my clothes.

Someone then introduces me to three business men dressed in suits. I am aware that they are unable to see me since I am invisible, but they are able to sense my presence. I shake hands with one of them. I decide that I have wasted enough time in this place so decide to accomplish some lucid tasks. As I am thinking that I need to be a solid being to accomplish these tasks I materialize myself again. [/b]

Try To Read Something, Look Away Then Back Again
I decide to read something, look away, and then read it again. The first book I pick up is a cartoon book of some kind that has no words in it, so I put it down and concentrate on finding something with words in it. I find a newspaper still wrapped up laying on a table, so take it out of its wrapper and read the front page. I am able to read it with no problems. I then put it down. When I pick it back up to read it again it looks totally different and I am unable to read it as the print is too small.

Famous Places - Niagra Falls
I think of another task I wanted to complete so decide to visit Niagra Falls. At first nothing happens, but I then find myself inside a building on what appears to be a water ride. When I ask a man I see if this is Niagra Falls, he tells me that it is, but that we are just on the inside of it. A bit unhappy with this as I wanted to see the actual waterfall, I concentrate on getting outside, after which I find myself floating in the air viewing a large waterfall.

Property - Viewing
I am viewing some property that my parents used to own that was sold to a church, but it is much different looking than it is in the physical, as there is a nice large lake where a creek currently runs through the property, and there is an inside parking garage made from stone, along with several other buildings on the property made from stone. I spend several minutes viewing this beautiful scenery. The lake is so peaceful looking.

Property - Viewing (Chain Lucid)
I am able to chain from the previous lucid and become lucid again on the property my parents used to own. This time I am watching a large stone building being built which is at least 2 or 3 stories high. There are workers everywhere who I hear hammering and sawing. I hear a worker land on the concrete below as he jumps off of a loading dock. I keep hearing a kid behind me talking to some man which must be a voice from the other side. A large concrete slab that is being lowered down then comes right toward me like it is going to hit me which jars me out of the lucid.

Driveway - Truck Backing In
I become aware of all kinds of noise outside my house in my driveway, and am able to see outside my window and see what is going on even though I am aware that I am still laying in bed. I see a pickup truck with a trailer behind it with all kinds of equipment on it, backing up on the side of my driveway onto my grass, as my cars are all blocking the driveway. I see several men getting ready to some kind of work. As tempted as I am go out and ask them what they are doing, I realize that this is all a dream, so ignore the urge to get involved. Instead I concentrate on floating. The men are talking really loud which I assume are transitions from the supplements I had taken earlier.

(Although not the most exciting lucids I've ever had, as I was merely an observer in these, they were certainly some of most vivid and interesting ones).

Selling Life Insurance - Door To Door
I am selling life insurance door to door in this lucid, or rather, trying to sell life insurance door to door. I am aware that I am dreaming, but am someone other than myself. At the first house I walk up to this lady comes to the door and says "Oh, you again". At the next house, a man comes to the door and says the same thing. As it appears that I have wore out my welcome in this neighborhood, I am thinking about leaving here and going somewhere else to peddle my insurance. I decide to go to a few more houses though since I know that I am dreaming, and am getting a kick out of watching the various peoples reaction to me as I walk up to their door.

I end up in one of the people's basement with all of the people I have been talking to, so ask one of the people what they would do if one of the their loved ones suddenly died without insurance. This gets them all thinking, and they seem to realize that I am genuinely concerned about them at this point. I am thinking they are going to let me give them a presentation about my insurance there in their basement.

Selling life insurance in a lucid? How very bizarre.

Yes, even more bizarre is that I was actually someone else doing this just feeling what they were feeling instead of actually doing it myself. Not the most exciting lucid by any means.

Big Bear - Chasing Me
My wife and I are living in this large house that has several bedrooms. When we go out into a front part of the house that we never go into, there is a large area that could be used as a spare living room, with a small bedroom off to the side of it. My wife is thinking that we should turn this into a guest room where my parents who are deceased can stay when they visit us. She just happens to have a spare counter top with a faucet on it that she wants me to hook up in this spare bedroom so that they would have everything they need in there except for a toilet.

There are then 4 or 5 other people in the house with us, relatives I think, visiting us from out of town. All but one of the people visiting us is in the house with us. When a gal who had been outside comes up to the door wanting in, there is a large black bear standing behind her scaring her. I am wondering if I should open the door for her, since I am concerned that the bear will follow her into the house. I have to let her in though, so open the door for her, after which the bear also comes in and starts chasing us through the house.

We all run back into the spare living room and I shut the doors behind us. There are 3 doors that I have to shut, and one of them keeps coming back open, no matter how hard I pull it shut. So I am pulling on this door to keep it shut while I feel the bear trying to pull it open from the other side.

After a bit I sense the bear has left, so I cautiously enter the room it had been in. When I get close to a large couch, the bear comes out from underneath the couch where he had been hiding inside the under part of the couch, and chases me back into the room I had been hiding in.

I realize at this point that I am dreaming, so that there is no way the bear can hurt me, so decide to go back into the other room and face it. Even though I know I am dreaming, I am still having a difficult time mustering enough courage to face this large bear, but finally force myself to face it. As I approach the couch again, I see the bear once again come out from underneath the couch, only this time when he comes out he is small raccoon, who is not threatening to me at all.

Raccoon - In My House
I am walking around in my house, but am aware that I am also laying in my bed. Although I am aware that I am in bed sleeping, I am also aware of things going on in my house as I see my two cats rolling around and wrestling each other on the stairway. I then hear another animal that turns out to be a raccoon running down the stairs and out my back door when he happens to hear me walking around.

After he goes outside, he then sneaks back inside, but when he gets to the stairway, my big cat starts chasing him and chases him out the back door. At one point, my cat gets ahead of him and appears to be racing him out the back door.

I then look outside where I see all kinds of animals in my back yard, as there are about 10 squirrels running playing, and a couple of ducks walking around. I see that the food dish in my raccoon trap has been tipped over, but there are no animals in the trap, as the door appears to have gotten caught on something, as it is only half way shut.

I just happen to be sleeping on my living couch at this point in my dream when I notice my wife come down the stairs with a young blonde haired gal that used to work in a department next to where I used to work at (false awakening). I tell my wife "Wait until you see what I just saw out in our backyard. Take a look out in the backyard!" At this point I realize that when she looks out in our backyard she will probably see something totally different than what I had seen since what I had been dreaming when I had looked out in our backyard.

Church - Floating Around
I am first meditating when I reach a very deep level where I feel at one with the universe, and then feel my consciousness expand and become the universe. I then fall into a dream where I am going someplace with the gal who is trying to find someone. We are on a rock road beside some railroad tracks. When we get to the place where she thought a road was supposed to be, there is no road there. When she asks some people for directions, they ignore her. When I see a gal I know from work in the distance, I tell the gal I am with that we can ask her for directions. She just happens to be the person the gal I am with was trying to find.

We follow this gal into a church where they are getting ready to have a service, and sit down. When I hear a guy behind me talking about how he loves coming to this church because he always has out of body experiences when they start singing, I become interested in what he is talking about, so turn around and start talking to him. I tell him that I am also into out of body experiences, and agree to meet him at the top of the church once the singing begins.

When everyone starts singing, I float out of my body and float to the top of the church. I look around and find the guy I had been talking to earlier and tell him "See, I told you I would meet you up here." I then decide that I would like to leave and fly somewhere else, so concentrate on flying through the roof. I have a difficult time getting through the roof, but finally manage to squeeze through it. I begin to wonder if I will still be out of my body flying around when the service ends, and what the people in the church are going to think if they are unable to wake me up. After getting through the roof I fly straight up into the air and lose consciousness. (Probably should have stayed in the church).

I am then back in the church and the service has ended. Some guy is picking things up off the floor which looks like crab cakes, only they have a lot of nuts in them, and putting them in a basket. He tells me that these are very nutritious because of all of the nuts in them.

Blonde Haired Gal - Meeting
I run into this blonde haired gal who I had seen in an earlier dream, and she asks me if I would consider meeting her later. When I tell her yes, she hands me a piece of paper, which is a blank piece of paper, but from which I am able to sense where she wants to meet me at. I go and meet her at the place she had asked me to meet her at.

When I meet her, there is an incredible exchange of energy, as I feel this very strong love between us. It seems that I have known her before. As we merge our spirits together I feel like I could stay here with her forever.

Neighbor - Visiting
I am in this man's house that I used to stop and talk to all the time when I was out jogging with my dog, and am talking to him and his wife when I suddenly thing to myself "Hey, what's he doing here. He passed away in 2004", at which time I realize I am dreaming. His wife seems especially pleased to be able to visit with him again.

Backyard - Party
(After thinking about this one for two days, I decided to count it as a lucid instead of just an image stream because of my interaction in it)
I hear a noise out in my back yard that sounds like a cat meowing, so walk out to check it out. When I get out into my back yard, there is a long table sitting in the middle of my yard, and it looks like someone was having a party there. Although it is quiet and deserted out there now, it seems like someone had been having a party out there earlier. I decide to experiment with this image stream, so change the time and go back to an hour earlier, after which I see a few people out there partying. When I change the time to two hours earlier, and then three hours earlier, I see even more people partying. I then change the time to be early in the evening after which I see a lot of people out there partying, and get the impression that someone there is 14 years old and that I am 13 years old.

Digital Recorder - Not Working
I am trying to record a dream on my digital voice recorder, which for some reason is not working. All of the buttons are there. but when I push the record button nothing happens. I begin to wonder if I might be dreaming, and if this is just a false awakening, so look at my digital recorder real close, but everything seems to be normal. I then find another digital voice recorder on the other side of me, which convinces me that I am dreaming. Before I can take advantage of being lucid though, the record light on the digital recorder in my hand comes on, and I go ahead and record my dream.

Indian Camp - Visiting
I am someplace like an Indian camp in a remote area with my parents. I am in this small hut with a dirt floor trying to get back to sleep again to have a lucid dream. I had already been to sleep once and had some kind of crazy dream. While trying to get back to sleep, I encounter all kinds of interruptions, as these small animals like lizards keep coming in my hut. The first time this giant lizard comes into my hut, this Indian man who is there with me grabs it and throws it back outside. When I ask him if that animal is poisonous if it bites someone, he tells me that it is, but that I can grab it and throw it out of the room to keep it from biting me.
The next time the lizard comes into the room, I carefully grab it by its neck, and throw it out of the room while it is rearing its ugly head up and trying to bite me. I am thinking at this point that I should get up and forget about trying to get anymore sleep in this place. But I then realize that I am dreaming, so that these things cannot hurt me, at which time I relax and allow myself to fall asleep.

House - Cats And Animal Control
I am inside this house and I have my 3 cats inside the house with me when another cat comes through my pet door and joins us. The cat who comes in is Goldie, a cat I used to have several years ago. The house I am living in is different than the place where I live IRL and is on a busy street. I am sleeping in my basement where the pet door is located that Goldie comes in through. When Goldie comes in she lays down next to Boo Boo. They are both trying to get my attention, so I am petting both of them and scratching their backs, while they are both soaking in the attention I am giving them.
I then notice several people from animal control outside, as they are all dressed up in uniforms. As I keep seeing people who I sense are from Texas outside my house, I must be living in Texas in this dream. As I look out through my pet door to see what is going on, I notice a lot of cars parked along the street, and a lot of people walking around. The main people I notice though are the ones from animal control, as they seem to be there to pick up Goldie, who someone must have called in as being a stray cat. I grab both of my cats to make sure they stay inside, and become concerned about my other cat Sterling as I wonder where he is.

I realize that I am dreaming at this point, and that I have control over this dream, so make all of the people outside go away by visualizing them being gone.

Next thing I know I am walking through this mall with my deceased cat Goldie, when I realize that I have 4 cats now, so am over my limit of pets that I am allowed to have. Instead of looking like a cat though, my cat looks like a person as she walks with me. In fact she looks like a tall, older lady. I realize that it has been several years since I have gotten her any shots, so ask her when the last time was that she had a rabies shot. She looks at me and says "Oh, I don't get shots anymore. I'm so old that I don't need to get shots anymore." I'm thinking that I won't need to get a pet license for her then, so am no longer concerned about this. Although I am just hoping that she never gets picked up, since this could be costly, since I have not licensed her. She then walks down a hallway by herself to do some shopping.
