WILD Rendezvous with Mr. Wonderful in the Skies above NYC

7:14 AM: this morning I did a WBTB and went into sleep paralysis. After a while I started getting the rushes. I had them for a while. Maybe 10 or 15 of them.

As I was going into my dream state, I started hearing a huge commotion in the next room from Ivan. I got very annoyed, as it could not have been more than 6 AM. I did my best to ignore him. Eventually, Ivan ran into my room, and said, I can't take it anymore, I just have too much work to do! He had a fistful of papers in his hands and flung them all over the room. At this point I told myself, this isn't real, this is just HI, you must ignore this, and go on with your WILD.

Eventually I transitioned into a lucid dream. Everything was quite vivid! A pretty day out. I was in a city that looked like New York. I decided to fly and had no trouble using my arms like wings. I had a lot of fun flying around the city, dipping in and out around buildings. It was kind of fun actually, avoiding rooftops. And of course, I enjoyed the sensation of flying.

My intentions were going into this dream had been to have sex with Mr. Wonderful so I began to think about where I could possibly find him? I decided if I can have sex with him while flying, that would solve everything. And that's exactly what I did. Why go down to the city when I could bring him right up here into the clouds?

It was somewhat disembodied but quite gratifying as well. At some point I landed inside an apartment and I was sitting there when Ivan came running in again and tried to wake me up. Once again, I realized that this is part of my dream pattern and told him to go away.

I then took the second spin, flying in the city.

6:55 AM: I was in the redwoods driving down this avenue and noticing all these bears in the holes of trees. They were all eating out of buckets of honey. The ranger who was a tour guide pointed this out. I thought this was very weird and went lucid, but in the act of going lucid I woke up. Dream was very vivid.

Dream fragment: I was talking to someone who had been on one of my podcasts, and we were cutting up these carrots the size of logs. They were black and worth a lot of money. I had interviewed xxx and these belonged to one of his assistants who was very wealthy because they had inherited these carrots.

Yes it's safe to dream and drive! (WILD)

8:18 AM: I was in a car driving down a country road in the forest and got worried because I knew I was dreaming and wondered if it was safe to drive. Then it dawned on me that since I was dreaming, I couldn't possibly do any harm. (Yes, i *can* dream and drive!) I went lucid. However I did not stay there. I then wound up in my bedroom and then went down to my living room where I sat down in front of my altar.

I talked to my crystal, and asked it what would be one thing out of my medicine cabinet that it would recommend for me to drink today? It suggested I pay attention to my Chinese herbs. I walked around the house, doing things like opening doors and drawers, putting things in them, looking around, etc..

I did a lot of spinning because I wanted to go to a party. Instead I met a friend out on the back porch and we had a date.

8:58 AM: fragment:I saw Dr. Yyy and was telling him I remember when he used to work in Oakland.

That's cool that you went to your altar in dreams! I have a shrine in my dream house.

Really? I think altars are great places. My crstal is there, too. I use my crystal all the time. It's one of my dream allies. I look into it to manifest things, people, answers, etc.!

WILD Day at the Beach

I had incubated waking up in the tropics in Negril, Jamaica.
I got the tropics, but a black sand beach instead of white sand... oh well!
Strength : medium vivid
Length: long (remembering just parts of it...)
Seemed to go right into REM.

8 AM

WILD: I wound up on some black beach and put my hands in the black pebbles. I was walking in the sand. Then I went swimming and that was absolutely divine! Then, I wanted to meet someone and I called out and invited somebody to visit me. Finally I met somebody and I asked him if he would tell me something but I couldn't get a good answer out of him. He took me back into town. Then I was in this beach island town in my car, and I was lost, with my car pointed towards the water, which was not the way that would get me back home (so I guess I wasn't in the tropics anymore). I got out of my car, and this person started waving at me who was just climbing onto a bus - he was a stranger, a tall dark and handsome man. He seemed to know me. He was saying, "There you are, there you are, I've been trying to see to say hi to you!” It took me a while to realize he was talking to me. I looked back at him finally. So he got on the bus, and I called out, “I love you”, as he left. and he seemed really happy about that. After that I was trying to figure out how to get back to the city as I was still lost. But I was really glad that I had met this man.

Crazy Carrots

comments = red

7 AM: Someone was coming back from camping, and they were complaining about how heavy their load was. They had these giant carrots that weighed about hundred pounds each, that were shaped kind of like balls with a flat side and points on them.

I could have used this as a moment to go lucid, as I have seen giant carrots once before in a dream. But I woke up instead. Bring on more carrots, I say! I am not sure why carrots keep coming up for me... .

DILD Rafting in Hawaii

vividness: pretty high

8:01 AM: I was in Hawaii, showing someone around, and pointing out this gorgeous coastline that I had fondly loved myself. We even watched some stallions or wild horses racing into the ocean, and frolicking there. It was breathtakingly beautiful. Then I ran into some friends of mine rafting down the river, later on in the same dream. I was feeling sad that I was not in Hawaii with my friends. Everything looked so familiar but I was so sad that I didn't live here, and suddenly I went lucid and realized I could go lucidly rafting and enjoy the experience even more. I was enjoying this exhilarating thrill of going down a raft in the rapids in Hawaii - it was so exhilarating and I was really happy- this is what life is all about! I looked at my hands a few times to stay lucid, but eventually the dream faded

Note: I changed supplements last night. No melatonin. Woke up rather late anyway for taking supps (4:50 AM), Took 1 tsp. ribose, choline bitartrate small amount, 1 b-25, 1 tyrosine 500. No problems getting back to sleep. Did seem to feel like I was sleeping somewhat lighter, perhaps more vivid. But more time and experimenting is needed.

I was born on the Big Island. There are pictures of me and my sister playing at black sand beaches. I loved black sand. It's gorgeous.

That's funny. They sound like fractal carrots.

i saw a rainbow buddha once for example - sign of transcendance. didn't kwow till i looked it up.
so now i have a picture of the rainbow buddha on my altar. very beatiful. both the picture and the concept.

Filmy Barrier, I like that phrase... Like a bubble.

On my dream shrine I have little figurines of my totems and other allies.

Here is a dream I had with Buddha in it:

Astral Travel

Wow, that's an amazing dream! And your buddha has rainbow qualities, too... which i learned indicate the transendence out of the body.

Thanks for sharing that dream with me. It totally inspires me to have more lucid dreams!
I have had some far out stuff... just haven't posted it.
but I suspect... the best is yet to come... i am still learning... i guess we all are!

i like the astral travel parts, too, i want to do more of that!

btw, what are your totems? and your shrine, is it specifically a dream shrine?

Non-lucid dream

A Platter of Pickles and Some Peace...

8:10 AM I have spent the night in Long Island at Lani's house. (They are very wealthy.) Earlier in the day we had been in her kitchen, and several of her relatives had brought over their children. They were dressed in very expensive designer kid’s clothing. It reminded me of my own childhood, in a sense, being dressed up like a little doll. There was a lot of family energy. Lani brought me some hors d'oeuvres, a platter of giant assorted pickles. She said “here you must be hungry”. Maybe there was a wedding that was going on.

She was being very tender with me. Later on I was in a room downstairs with one of her brothers, studying the red carpet, an oriental carpet. I was feeling profoundly peaceful, and didn't want to leave. I looked outside and the skies were gray, and I wasn't even sure I want to leave to go home. However, I have to drive back to the city and drop some people off at the airport, so I knew I had to leave eventually. I have this feeling these people want to invite me to stay longer. But, I have to go.

Note: Lani is one of my dream signs or dream characters. I see her often.

Non-lucid dream:

Making some friends!

6:40 AM: I was at a corporate dinner with Ivan and I was outspoken with some people at the table. I spoke my mind, I spoke up and help them resolved an argument and stuck my nose in their business. At first they were really shocked that I did this, and even kind of offended. Eventually they resolved their fight so I wound up looking really good. Then I did this with another couple of people so I wound up making friends with this entire group of people and after that we're all sitting around the table as friends.

Lucid Dream

Confusions abound amidst pleasure: Of Iphones, A Sex Toy, and More ....

8:30 AM: I had this dream where I woke up and wanted to record my dream, I was looking for my iPhone, and there were many iPhones there of all shapes and sizes. I got very flustered trying to find the right one, because I wanted to record the dream I was having. Suddenly I got lucid - and realized I was turned on, and decided I would rather go over the edge (orgasmically) instead. So I found a sex toy and I used it to take myself over the edge. This was highly enjoyable, but then I remembered that I had been in the process of looking for my recorder, so I went back to looking for my iphone recorder, and found it. I was still kind of frustrated because I was trying to remember the dream I had before the iphone split into 10 or so different iPhones, so even though I had had fun with my sex toy, I was anxious to get back to remembering my dream and writing it down. I woke myself up so I could write down at least the part of the dream that I could still remember.

Thanks for sharing! I usually try to do stuff in lucid dreams that I can't do in waking life, but whatever floats your boat!

My 'aumakua are he'e, pua'a and pueo. Kanaloa, Kamapua'a and Pueo. Sea, Land, Air.

I have a shrine in my room, and a dream shrine. They are similar.

So, your dream shrine and waking life shrines are similar! Crossing the filmy divides...

i looked up your 'amakua, Kanaloa, Kamapua'a, and Pueo.. i especially like Kanaloa. Way cool... the eye is very beautiful and powerful.

And yes, i could have done *way* more with that last lucid dream.

10/12/09 Non Lucid Dream

Where Do I Go From Here?

7:46 AM:
Before the dream I had an intense hypnagogic rushes, must've lasted quite a while.

This woman died, and I was in a communal living house, and I was kind of hoping for her bed, and some people came and plugged up her nose, and her teeth were really weird, and I think she was really just half alive and half dead. I was hoping she would die so I could move into her bed but this other guy came in and took it instead so I was disappointed. I was going to go sleep on the couch but started listening to the guy. He turned out to be a chef or a farmer and he said “follow me” so I followed him out and we were sitting by a natural pool, and he was asking me to help him cook. I wasn't sure I wanted to do this. He was starting to get vegetables together. His face kept changing and turning into a different person. I was trying to decide whether to help him or go back to bed. But what bed?

I was thinking of going off and looking for another bed, but it wasn't quite ready to do that either.

Comments: I had many opportunities in this dream to go lucid! Three dream signs: vegetables, weird teeth, and strange things happening in the dream. But missed them all...

WILD Meeting Kanaloa Underwater

6:34 AM: I decided I wanted to meet Kanaloa, and went into a WILD. I was on the shores of a beach in Hawaii, so I dove into the ocean and swam into the sea, where I found him. He was a pink-purple-orange colored octopus, very stately, floating in the water. I talked to him, I kept looking at him and his beautiful one eye, that was this incredible geometric pattern. And he kept reaching out and scooping me up with his tentacle or arm. At one point he scooped up Waking Nomad as well and told me that it would be good for me to have an ally. So there we were, both floating in free-space underwater each in one of Kanaloa's arms. I asked him for a healing drink and he gave me some of his ink or some secretion- but he said “it only works if you follow the path”, and I said, “what path”? And he said “you know what I mean”. It was so much fun swimming there under the water to see him, and breathing underwater was really fun too!

I wound up on land a few times but just use my intention to get back there to talk to him again. At one point on the land I ran into a bunch of hooligans in a car. These guys… maybe three or four of them…They had big muscles, and one of them had strange tattoos on his arms. They were hassling me but I told them off.

Anyway, I kept coming back to Kanaloa. I kept looking into his eye and at one point he beamed this really intense energy into my eye. I could literally see this electric white light going from him into me. Or between us. I was enthralled by the pattern in his eye. A few more times he scooped me up into his arms, and it was really fun just laying there in his arms. He said, “right now you need to be held and rocked. This is really good for you.”

Comment: I decided to set higher goals for myself in my lucid dreaming. I set the intention the night before to meet Kanaloa in my dreams the next morning. I stayed firm in my resolve. I found it was not hard at all.

WILD Meeting a Chi Master

6:45 AM: WILD: I decided I wanted to meet a Chi master and get some instructions from him. I wound up in Berkeley in some office. The assistant wanted to make me a drink, but I wanted the master to come out and give me some exercises. Finally he came out and ran his hands over me, and down my body. He asked me to do flexible things. Then I came out of lucidity.

Non Lucid Miniature Dragon Race

7:08 AM: I was in this basement and a bunch of guys were racing this little dragon around. Either that or it was a miniature dinosaur, like a triceratops. I felt sorry for the miniature dragon, but understood that it was a male bonding thing, or a ritual. This is really weird and I wanted to go lucid, but I woke up.

DILD Making Food Fly... Fun!

8:44 AM: I was in Whole Foods, shopping, and wondering what vegetable to get. I wanted to make my dream to be more interesting so I went lucid and I invited a vegetable to fly into my hands, and a cabbage flew right into my open, outstretched hand. I kept shopping, and invited a bottle of vitamins to find to my hands. I think it was a bottle of silica, because there was a picture of quartz on the label. Then I wanted a grain, so I stopped by the breads, and invited again an item to jump into my hands. Rice almond bread flew into my cart. Then I wanted to meet a dream character. I spotted a grocery attendant off in the distance, but even though I spun, my lucidity started to fade.

Comments: I was really surprised I had these dreams today. Last night I crashed early, and then, I woke up around midnight and had a very hard time going back to sleep. I drank a lot of valerian. I was sure I had ruined my chances for decent REM, but obviously, this was not the case.

I had not set up very good goals for myself in advance, and as a result. I found myself having to come up with better goals on the spot. I am learning that it is important to have challenging goals for myself if I am to have a decent lucid dream. This is why I insisted on having the Chi Master teach me some exercises, even though my plan did not come to fruition. I set a difficult goal for myself. But I did succeed in having objects flying to my hands, and I was very pleased about that.

Interesting: in the DILD, my dream sign "vegetables" may have been my trigger to go lucid - yay! ... plus I also then saw "crystals", another dream sign. (Although I was lucid when I saw that one...). (Do dreamsign still work when you are lucid?)

I think that chef farmer was me. I work on a farm. I went to chef school, but I dropped out. I am a vegetarian. I love vegetables!

I wish I remember that dream!

excerpt from my DJ: (about two weeks ago)
"Where do you want to go?," asked Raven. "Another medieval adventure?" I offered. "No," said Raven, "something different." "How about an undersea adventure?" asked Selene. Raven smiled at her and opened a portal. The four of us stepped through. We were in a giant undersea cave. It was large enough to fit an aircraft carrier in it. The walls were lined with luminescent stuff growing, that was waving back and forth in the current. It looked like octopus eggs. A giant shark with glowing green eyes smashed into the opening of the cave, but it was too big to fit inside. I turned into Neptune, and spun at the shark, drilling into its nose.

"Outsiders!" someone shouted, "you lead the great shark here!" The other people looked like humans made of glowing jellyfish flesh. I turned us into merpeople. I turned around and looked at the cave people. I was holding a trident, and wearing a coral crown. I had a big white beard. I looked like an old guy that can kick your ass.
"We did not intend to lure the shark here. For that, I apologize. We wish to communicate with your people," I said.
"Atlanteans!" they gasped. "Atlanteans! Tell the king!"
One said, "Follow us."
Two swam in front, two behind, and two on each side. They were suspicious of us, but were guarding us from attack. We continued on until the cave opened up to a great dark room. There was a giant pale squid, glowing faintly blue-green in the darkness. I felt a dark ancient intelligence, and and strength beyond centuries.
"Are you Morpheus?" I asked dumbly.
The squid king laughed. He told us there were three different species of sentient sea people living in the undersea caves.

I am looking forward to sharing dreams with you. That's cool that Kanaloa told you I am your ally. :D

He made it rain on my enemy. In waking life.

I wanted to make my dream to be more interesting so I went lucid and I invited a vegetable to fly into my hands, and a cabbage flew right into my open, outstretched hand. I kept shopping, and invited a bottle of vitamins to find to my hands. I think it was a bottle of silica, because there was a picture of quartz on the label. Then I wanted a grain, so I stopped by the breads, and invited again an item to jump into my hands. Rice almond bread flew into my cart. Then I wanted to meet a dream character. I spotted a grocery attendant off in the distance, but even though I spun, my lucidity started to fade.

Comments: I was really surprised I had these dreams today. Last night I crashed early, and then, I woke up around midnight and had a very hard time going back to sleep. I drank a lot of valerian. I was sure I had ruined my chances for decent REM, but obviously, this was not the case.

I had not set up very good goals for myself in advance, and as a result. I found myself having to come up with better goals on the spot. I am learning that it is important to have challenging goals for myself if I am to have a decent lucid dream. This is why I insisted on having the Chi Master teach me some exercises, even though my plan did not come to fruition. I set a difficult goal for myself. But I did succeed in having objects flying to my hands, and I was very pleased about that.

Interesting: in the DILD, my dream sign "vegetables" may have been my trigger to go lucid - yay! ... plus I also then saw "crystals", another dream sign. (Although I was lucid when I saw that one...). (Do dreamsign still work when you are lucid?)

I had a dream where Raven Knight and I had a cookoff on the moon. :D Just last night.

Earlier: Used Heart-Breathing WILD induction. Very rewarding. Will use more of this!!!
Intense SP. Want to do more AP. Will experiment more with this. Lot of HI.

Non lucid Dream fragment:

I went to the movies, and had to get a pair of movie shoes, much like you would get a pair of bowling shoes. But I never returned my movie shoes. Then I went to visit my aunt, who was happy to see me, but very involved in rearranging the furniture. She seemed emotional and I had to calm her down.

WILD/DILD A Gorgeous Amythyst Crystal, and a few Visits in the Rain...

long but lower level lucidity– enjoyed teleportation, car flying, heart breathing

8:41 AM: I remember having a false awakening. I woke up in another room and realized I had been lying on the floor with all my crystals, and found a new crystal. I thought, I can't believe I've been having my entire LD in a new room, on the floor! One of my new crystals was kind of squishy, and about 8 inches, like a pillow filled with little liquid crystals, which I felt was interesting. Another one was a beautiful 6 inch double pointed one, with amethyst shadings, and another amethyst dot in the center. Since I knew I was having a false awakening I decided to go back to my LD. I curled right back up on the floor and went right back into my lucid dreaming. I'm glad I don't have to classify these things too much!

Since it was such a long lucid dream, it's hard to remember everything that happened. Plus it was kind of low-level for much of it. But I do remember going to visit Chris, an amazing mentor of mine, and also the Chi Master in Berkeley, but not much happened. Also since it was raining out, I did a lot of driving, I think in sympathy with the fact that it was raining out. At one point I tried flying in my car, treating it like a spaceship. I thought, even in my lucid dream, that it wasn't nearly as much fun flying in my car as it was in person, feeling the raw air around my body. Just being in the sky itself. This was a little boring. So I landed the car and kept driving.

I teleported to a beach, and went swimming, but it wasn't a very rich experience.

Of course, I woke up in my bed where I had been all along! Gee – that 6 inch quartz/amethyst double Herkimer with the dot was such a nice crystal, too - wouldn't I love to have that in real life!

[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]Comments: I liked the heart breathing method. I mixed in a little of the 61 point method at times. The heart breathing method got me to focus on my heart rate and to simulate the kind of breathing one does when they are sleeping, so I think this is a very good WILD induction method which I will do more of. It left me free to focus on hypnagogic imagery and focusing my intentions and visualizations, while also putting attention on my sleep breathing and making sure it was steady, and the kind of breathing you do when you were sleeping at times I lit up my hands so they would be buzzing and golden, the kind of experience you would get in SP. Very nice combination.

You better return those movie shoes, or they you will get a hefty bill in the mail. Movies shoes are so expensive. I don't know why, ugly things.

That crystal sounds lovely. That's cool that it was squishy. How funny. Next time eat it and see what happens. I am going to start eating a lot of random things in dreams. Why not? haha

I had a dream with Kanaloa!

I am looking forward to sharing dreams with you. That's cool that Kanaloa told you I am your ally.

...He made it rain on my enemy. In waking life.

and i enjoyed your dream of meeting Kanaloa the giant squid...

:-)

I like Kanaloa... resonance is so there...

re the rain, there's an interesting example of crossing the dream/wake divide! Wow! but... what kind of enemies do you have in waking life?

ps... i toyed with the idea of returning the "movie shoes"... or giving them to the goodwill... but... like dorothy and the red magic shoes... something tells me i should hold on to the "movie shoes" for a little bit.

i think i will try wearing them again and see what happens!

as for eating some crystal... i realized something - i already do. liquid silica is very good for my body. i eat it (drink it) every day!!!

i can try eating other things. i get it... have a little fun, here, beachgirl... star in some stories to write home about one day... i like this...

Non Lucid Dream: Of Cats and Crowds

7:08 AM: There a whole bunch of us in this bedroom having a talking circle, and the noise is getting progressively louder, until he drove me from the room. It was at that point that I realized how well I had been doing with so much clamor. Everyone had been sharing and talking until this music rocks had come on and the music was blasting. I couldn't deal with it. There was a guy with a beard and mustache who was kind of obnoxious who had turned on the music, and he refused to turn down the music when I asked him. He actually started running after me and chasing me with the music box. There were these cats and maybe dogs, and one of them had come into my lap, and of course these are my dream signals, and I missed it. But the cat was sleeping in my lap. It might've been someone's birthday.

I went back to my bedroom where Ivan was just waking up and I started to tell him what has been, with some upset in my voice. And my ears were hurting. He was lying in a beautiful white bed with gorgeous white linens.

Non Lucid Dream: Being “Shot” in the Dark

8:19 AM: I was being photographed and at times I was blindfolded. I woke up and took off my blindfold and realized I had forgotten to take off my blindfold. The man would take pictures of me, while I was posing, and the flash would go off, and then we would see what the picture looked like, and it would be kind of a surprise. I think in retrospect this was kind of like a series of false awakenings. They were pretty cool. This happened a few times, where the flash should go off, and then I would see what the picture looked like. This guy had this little blonde daughter with these very long gorgeous blonde ringlet curls. He was doing boudoir photography and laughing about how he's going to have to take pictures again.

I remember before that I had gotten into an argument with the little girl. I'm not sure what it was about, but when I saw her, I remember thinking I would let go of whatever we had fought about.

It was really cool- the feeling of the flash going off and being blindfolded at the same time.

Comments: I was pretty disappointed at missing my obvious dream sign, the cat. I resolved that I would for sure recognize any cats the next time I saw them in a dream.

Non-Lucid Dream: Poor Little Kitty Cat

6:48 AM: I was coming up stairs with a pair of glasses in my hand to take care of this wounded cat upstairs. I had put the cat there. There was a healthy cat downstairs. I had remembered that the cat was my dream sign. The cat was lying on its back, and I could see its belly, and its wound, and it was crying plaintively and pitifully. It was very intense and vivid, and I knew to go lucid, but unfortunately, the act of going lucid took me out of my dream.

Comments:this morning I had woken up early to do WILDing and again had gone into intense HH or SP or whatever it's called. I was not so upset about waking up instead of going lucid.

I was much happier that I had recognized the dream sign. I felt like I was making progress. I know I can teach myself to remain more steady in the future. After all I have had a lot of experience going lucid with other dream signs. Overall I felt good about this.

i bought a playful card today with a regal persian kitty with a little crown on her... and made her one one of my dream signals. she is somewhere in my house, on display, so where i see here, i do an RC now.

Sometimes I sleep with a sleep mask, other times with a blindfold. I had a non-lucid where I was wearing the blindfold, but I could see right through it.

WILD Rendezvous with Waking Nomad for Breakfast, and Time by the River

Waking Nomad and I decided to get together for breakfast. He offered to cook me hot cereal. In order to make it more interesting, he had all the ingredients fly into the pot and have the ingredients stir themselves. But first we had this discussion about the spine and the lumbar. I'm not sure why.

Then we decided we would go to the river - there was a beautiful waterfall so we sat under it. At first we decided we wanted to watch the flowers fall, so instead of a waterfall, we watched a “flower fall”. All these beautifully colored flowers were just falling all around, floating down around us. That was really amazing! It was also coming through at the same time the waterfall was pouring down. Flowers in and around the water.

Then we decided to swim in the waterfall. We began spinning upward into the waterfall and that was fun, and then we decided to go rafting. Our rafts were kind of narrow so each one of us was on our own raft. Lots of white water spray. We met on the other side.

He had this ball and he showed it to me. It was the size of a basketball but it looked like a filmy bubble. See-through, with laser-like rainbow colors on it. He said it was a magic ball. I asked him what it was and he said you have to look at it. It was kind of glowing. I looked inside of it, but the minute I picked it up I started to fly with it.

That was fun, then I came back. Then I started to talk to it. I asked the ball questions. It said we needed more time than we had right then to really understand, but I think we talked about poetry but I can't remember what we talked about. I think it was profound. But I was getting distracted by the need to get up. I knew I would have to come back to learn more.

Comment: The real problem was I had to wake up to do something. I could have gone lucid for quite a while longer, as I was well inside the dream.

DEILD "Just a Galaxy"

5:00 PM: I was in line to get a ticket to go on this cruise just around town and I was noticing the ticket takers were these young and pretty women in these retro outfits from the 50s or maybe 40s or 30s. Anyway, that was one of my dream signals, it being so weird and all, so I went lucid. There were actually two lines and a little bit of a fight, but I finally got in one line. I watched as the woman printed out a long stream of tickets.

Then I ordered my ticket and got on the ship. I went on this day cruise, and stood out on the deck for a while and enjoy the fresh air and brass handrails and feeling of being at sea. Again went indoors and enjoyed the fine wood detailing of the cabins. At some point I decided to fly, but it became night, and I started flying and wound up in a tree. So I made it day again, but decided I was a little tired to fly so I teleported to go see one of my mentors. He gave me a powerful session and I talked to my inner guide.

I asked for advice and she reminded me to finish my work with Fern.

She also said that when you love another person as yourself, and the world as much as yourself, and there is no difference between you and the other, and the world, then you will be truly happy and complete. All three must be one and the same. All barriers will have fallen away. I realized I would have to ponder this further.

I had gotten turned on by this time. So, then I decided was time to go see Mr. Wonderful. We were so happy to see each other, we started making passionate love. We went in and out of very tantric places. We didn't want to separate at all... but I wanted to keep the dream going... so I took him back to the cruise ship with me to show him the cruise that I had been on. We were connected the whole time. We sat on the deck of a cruise ship, rocking, rocking as the waves went up and down.

We still didn't want to separate -- in fact we wanted to merge with one another. He starts to do this spinning where I spun into him and he spun into me and together we were spinning around and around, spinning into one another. He spun into my inner male, while I spun into his inner female. We kept spinning until we turned into -- suddenly -- a galaxy. We were the Milky Way or some such galaxy. No more, no less.

Just a galaxy.

Comments: Afternoons are great for long journeys! And my time of 5 PM (or whatever time I write down) marks the time of recording the dream so it was probably about 45 minutes long.

Baron Samedi

wow. that dream blows my mind.

In a meditation, this woman and I became the two snakes of the caduceus, one red, one green, we climbed to the top of it, and merged like that. I thought it meant that she and I were going to be together, but I think now it means more of universal female-male symbol: we need each other to create more DNA.

All man is adam, and all woman is eve.

We are all together, because we area all one.

non-lucid: Moral Dilemma:

8:50 AM: my friend had ordered a bunch of DVDs but when the box arrived, none of them were the correct ones. It was from Amazon. They were just junk. I wanted to be helpful and for some reason I didn't want the honest and tell her that.

7:50 AM: Non-Lucid: Weird Worms

I was trying to chase a skinny little worm with a bulbous head all around this apartment. There were actually a few of them. It was really hard and I did everything I could. A cat came in and played with one of the worms and then lost interest. I was going to spray it to kill it. Maybe we're in an apartment and we're going to move. A seagull flew into the apartment and ate it the last minute so I didn't have to kill it. He (or she) ate it like a piece of spaghetti.

Comment: Another cat…

Non-Lucid Annoyed Guest

8:30 AM: I was interviewing people and give them cookies at the end of each show. I was having a little trouble keeping straight whom I had given cookies to. One of my guests was a little annoyed at me and said that in the future, my family therapy would be done with contact improv.

Comment: I have no idea what this means. But, it sounds like way more fun than regular therapy, doesn’t it?

WILD: All over the Place:

7:11 AM: first I started out with a very long time doing SP. Rushes, glowing, all that great stuff! I made it my mind to exit my body, which I did. I wanted to be sure that I didn't go back so I started flying out of the room. I wasn't sure if I was in an OBE or an LD, so I just started taking off, and began flying. I was in New York City and this time I was lower down, and I was flying right through buildings. Universities, train stations, libraries, department stores. I could see people milling around, the clothing they were wearing, and I even had to dodge the light fixtures. It was lots of fun, and I was traveling in a pretty good speed.

Then I decided to visit Waking Nomad. I had to fly to Hawaii. I started playing with his magic ball, the translucent one the size of a basketball. The one I had used to fly around with the other day. I put my hand inside it, thinking it was empty inside, rather like a large soap bubble. Maybe there was a world inside it, like the city, but no, it was a gel like substance. I held it close to me and it glowed and I glowed and we started flying again.

We decided to make a trip to the moon, after all. We teleported up there. I saw Selene, and I think I even saw Raven. I was feeling rather shy for some reason. So I went back to Earth, back to the ball, which felt more familiar to me, nice and warm.

Comments: this is a very long period of time for me. The hypnagogic state alone was very long, and the flying was very long, so by the time I got to Hawaii, I'd been very busy! I think want to find out how to remember more of what happens, and also, how to work on more interaction with other people. That's my growing edge.

Comment: New York City often appears in my dreams. I may make this one of my dream signs.

Weird Worms 10/20/09

Dream interpretation:

I can't tell if these creatures were worms or tiny snakes. There seemed to be more than one. I do know they were white and very odd looking with their large heads. Worms are noble, signifying the energy of transformation and those willing to go deep. Snakes would be more the energy of passion and the kundalini. So either way, I view this as positive. Me, the dreamer, tried to kill them in my dream but could not. I could not control these creatures. I wanted to leave the entire scene altogether.

A cat came along -- feminine energy -- Maya, the world of illusion. She tried to eat the little creature(s), to distract it (or them) from its/their mission. Unable to catch it, after a while, she got bored and left.

The seagull is a bird, and a bird often represents the third ventricle of the brain, the seat of higher consciousness, of divine consciousness. This is why we see the wings on the caduceus. They are the wings of a bird, the body of the bird is the center of the brain. You can see this clearly in brain anatomy.

So, finally the seagull comes in and eats the worm or snake and now we have a union of heaven and earth, the rightful union has taken place.

The earthly drive to go deep has met the most powerful level of pure mind...
or you could say, the animal passions have been married to the divine presence of pure consciousness.

Either way works!

Once union has occurred, the dreamer awakens…
She could have stayed on and let the bird eat some more creatures... but, that was the dream!

DEILD sequence (?)

Learning to Communicate...

8:45 AM: we were having some sort of practices for being tantric. I had my own bed, with lots of room and my own pillows. There was a woman on either side of me in her own bed. Suddenly things changed and suddenly the beds were pushed very close together. The woman on my right was sort of behind me and at a right angle to me, and the woman on my left, well, her bed was kind of crowding into mine so that my bed felt kind of stuck. My bed wasn't bouncing or moving around anymore.

I got kind of pissed off about this. Angry and frustrated. I have a feeling my emotions influenced the other people. I acted like something of a pain in the ass, moving around, making a fuss. I'm being a little bit of a distraction to the other people as a result. Nonetheless, in the end, the other women had a pretty good time, they had not been as distracted as I was. The woman on my right, Sherry, was hugging the woman who had been next to her, and now I felt bad that I had missed out on having a better time. And I think the woman on my left and had a good time too. Now I saw that I could've been a better person.

I went Lucid just long enough in my dream to try and talk to Sherry. But the dream faded, I decided to go back into the dream, as a DEILD, if possible, and see what I could do to make things right?

I wound up in another dream interviewing Timothy. Again, at some point I went Lucid, but the dream faded in its vividness. Timothy simply wouldn't talk to me or reappear visually. I tried asking him more questions, no luck. ... Choice point...

At this point I decided to try and enter the first dream again. I was able to summon up Sherry and her friend sitting there in front of me. I apologized to Sherry for my behavior. i was sincere, and truly sought to win her over. But, she never really did respond to me as a dream character. She just sat there looking at me, hugging her friend in the bed.

Comments: I feel good about this pair of dreams. I am trying to work on developing my dream characters, and I think I did a good job in going Lucid. So now it's just a matter of learning how to engage more with my DC's. Oh yes and i am glad that i apologized... even though it was "only a dream"!

Non-lucid
Conflict- Swim or Save Pillows?

8 AM: I was at the beach and swimming and going out further and further. Somehow slowly onto both of my pillows. I passed a woman who was swimming with her cat but her cat didn't seem to mind at all. The tide started calling me further and further out, and I thought I might drown. I didn't want to let go of my pillows and start trying to swim into shore, because I was afraid I would lose my pillows. I was totally conflicted because they were my favorite pillows. So I woke myself up.

Non-Lucid: Rearranging the Flavors

7:20 AM: I was at Raymond and Deanna’s. Something was wrong with the food. It was a Jell-O mold aspic so Raymond went and got some flavorings to put on top of the aspic. So even though they wanted to pleasantly surprise me, I was pulling the packets out of the dish before it they were in the room. We talked about it and we all agreed this is what needed to happen.

10/24/09

DILD: Listening to Dream Character:

7:25 AM: I was in some large house, and these kids came in came in with one of my small cosmetics packets and said "is it okay if i eat this"? I got scared and angry so I went into my own bedroom, where this couple was filming a bedroom scene in my bed. Without my permission of course.

I didn't want to be totally mean, so I tried to rationally explain to them why they shouldn't be filming in there, because the kids were in there, and it was unsafe, or some such reasoning. But one of the guys walked me over to another part of the building instead.

Now I was at this party I was sort of feeling sorry for myself because it was my birthday and no one knew or even noticed and everyone else was celebrating without me. Then this guy started giving me advice. This party was a beautiful party, maybe it was a wedding. There were flowers everywhere, and gorgeous decorations. I think this guy was a pharmacist, as I was upset and angry. He says to me, listen, you're kind of feeling sorry for yourself. What not have it be different? I was trying to talk him out of it and he said "do you want to take my advice or not"? Suddenly I realized I was in a lucid dream and somebody was trying to give me advice, and I decided to listen.

So I said "hey I'll take your advice, go on"… and he said, "you know you just have to accept and allow in good stuff every day and don't fight so hard". So I thought about it and I knew I was lucid so I said "okay I'm going to do it". So I walked around and this beautiful music started playing. Suddenly this party was really beautiful and I wasn't mad anymore. There were all these flowers, cakes, and drinks around, as well as people milling around. I noticed it was five minutes to 12 so I wondered if he was going to arrange for them to sing me happy birthday before midnight tonight? He said that there is still time, that's right.

So I started walking around this beautiful party. I was kind of thirsty. I couldn't find my own glass that hadn't been used so I drank some iced tea out of a half full glass, actually worried if it was safe or not? But I was really thirsty. That kind of took me out of my lucidity.

Comments: this was a very vivid colorful dream, and i accomplished my goal of interacting with my dream character.

Conflict- Swim or Save Pillows?

8 AM: I was at the beach and swimming and going out further and further. Somehow slowly onto both of my pillows. I passed a woman who was swimming with her cat but her cat didn't seem to mind at all. The tide started calling me further and further out, and I thought I might drown. I didn't want to let go of my pillows and start trying to swim into shore, because I was afraid I would lose my pillows. I was totally conflicted because they were my favorite pillows. So I woke myself up.

Non-Lucid: Rearranging the Flavors

7:20 AM: I was at Raymond and Deanna’s. Something was wrong with the food. It was a Jell-O mold aspic so Raymond went and got some flavorings to put on top of the aspic. So even though they wanted to pleasantly surprise me, I was pulling the packets out of the dish before it they were in the room. We talked about it and we all agreed this is what needed to happen.

DILD: Listening to Dream Character:

7:25 AM: I was in some large house, and these kids came in came in with one of my small cosmetics packets and said "is it okay if i eat this"? I got scared and angry so I went into my own bedroom, where this couple was filming a bedroom scene in my bed. Without my permission of course.

I didn't want to be totally mean, so I tried to rationally explain to them why they shouldn't be filming in there, because the kids were in there, and it was unsafe, or some such reasoning. But one of the guys walked me over to another part of the building instead.

Now I was at this party I was sort of feeling sorry for myself because it was my birthday and no one knew or even noticed and everyone else was celebrating without me. Then this guy started giving me advice. This party was a beautiful party, maybe it was a wedding. There were flowers everywhere, and gorgeous decorations. I think this guy was a pharmacist, as I was upset and angry. He says to me, listen, you're kind of feeling sorry for yourself. What not have it be different? I was trying to talk him out of it and he said "do you want to take my advice or not"? Suddenly I realized I was in a lucid dream and somebody was trying to give me advice, and I decided to listen.

So I said "hey I'll take your advice, go on"… and he said, "you know you just have to accept and allow in good stuff every day and don't fight so hard". So I thought about it and I knew I was lucid so I said "okay I'm going to do it". So I walked around and this beautiful music started playing. Suddenly this party was really beautiful and I wasn't mad anymore. There were all these flowers, cakes, and drinks around, as well as people milling around. I noticed it was five minutes to 12 so I wondered if he was going to arrange for them to sing me happy birthday before midnight tonight? He said that there is still time, that's right.

Wow, that is so cool how you turned your dream around! I have found that physical comfort is important to having long dreams. I have often woken up because of discomfort.

I have been turning into big cats in dreams.

Waking Nomad, I'll keep an eye out for big cats! (especially in my dreams.) And Yes... it was pretty cool to turn my dream around. if i can do it once, then, I can do it. The barrier has been crossed...

As to physical pain, i had that problem and i bought BioEntopics Magnesium Cream with GABA and B6. What a difference that made. Those ingredients kind of put your muscles to sleep. You can find it online.

Non-Lucid: Waiting to be Touched.. and for Clarity

7 AM: There was a room full of people, and we're all sitting in chairs, waiting to be given biodynamic cranial touch sessions. Apparently, there was some controversy over who was giving the session, and who was supposed to be the assistant. This bickering went on for a while, while I just sat in the chair, waiting for the session to begin. It seemed like the alliances changed several times. I was being wrapped in a blanket with lovely diamond stitching going through it, and wondering who was in charge? What started out as a full room of people eventually became just a few of us sitting in chairs waiting for the session was to begin, as all of the arguing had led to many people leaving and splitting off into other groups. I wasn't too emotional, just observing the scene.

Dream fragment. Sitting on a Dock by the Bay

7:30 AM: I was swimming in the water naked on this trip while I was sightseeing, then climbing up on this dock where there were people on the dock on a boat on the dock, but no one seemed to think it unusual that I was there.

NonLucid: Parents on a Cruise Boat

7:20 AM: I saw my (deceased) father and his wife on this cruise boat. I interacted with them but never thought to go Lucid.

NonLucid: Almost Got to See My Brother

8:35 AM: I was in this room, at some point turned out to be my brother on the drums. I went in there to try and tell him to turn down the volume. I realized this was a dream sign and tried to go Lucid, lost the dream.

Comment: My brother and father are deceased. Missed dream signs - deceased relatives. plus I think I have seen or been on cruise boats lately.

Non-Lucid: Dating Several Men at Once

5:07 AM: in this situation I am dating three men at once. My main squeeze is a lawyer, but he is letting me meet someone else, who I think may be a farmer. But then the farmer is also letting me date someone else. I am in the farmer's room, but now I am with the third person. I am sitting there in a white dress listening to some music with this third person, and no one else is happy. Everyone is jealous. Even I feel a little conflicted though I'm also having fun.

Non-Lucid: Dream Fragments

7:16 AM: dream fragments from my WILD:

I was talking to this blonde lady and trying to find out who she was and we're having this long conversation. I am trying to meet my dream characters!

At another point, I was sitting on the bed watching TV with Derek, and several times, he interrupted me. Once he asked to pass the remote control. Another time he asked me what I meant by a certain word that I was using. Both of these seem to pull me out of my other experience and wake me up.

In a third part of my fragmented series, I was walking down this dock towards a series of house boats with two friends. My friend was very popular and as we were going on our way to this party, he recognized friends in several of the houses. He stopped and waved hello. I didn't know any of these people. One was a lady with really pretty long white hair. I was barefoot and was wondering if I should get my shoes? Everyone else was wearing shoes except for me. I was stepping mincingly over stones.

Comments: I WILDed for a long time. I honestly can't remember much of the content so I am not calling it lucid although I think I had parts of it as lucid dreams.

Re the dating: I want to take away the boundaries of what my mind "knows". And see what my deepest being creates, unfettered. It's an interesting exploration to say the least.

WILD; Meeting Dream Characters

8:30 AM: I saw Susannah. I was awestruck by her beautiful blonde hair - we took a walk. I asked her what suggestions she had for me with regards to my work, and she told me to submit more articles. She also tell me I'm much better than I think I am an that I tend not to give myself as much credit as I deserve. We went into this house, this community house that I often go to when I WILD, where people live together communally.

I ran into Teresa, so I asked her how things are going. She said she was sad we hadn't done more together. We had such a long history as friends. She asked me to come to her party. I thanked her and she said she really cared about me. I said I would sign up to come.

I asked if she had anything she could share with me? She said she had a Rose Crystal in her pocket, which she took out and handed to me. I asked her if I could eat it and she said she wasn't sure if that would work, but I tried and she gave me her permission, so I looked into it, and then, tasted it, and it was salty, and when I took it out of my mouth I exhaled something that looked like a ghost. Or a balloon. We also tried spinning together which didn't work too well.

But the ghost reminded me that I wanted to talk to my Chi Master, so I reached into my pocket and pulled out my own crystal, my angel crystal. I looked into that and summoned him up, and he was also a ghost-like figure. I told him I was waiting for him for a long time, many years now, and he told me he was waiting for me for a long time too. That surprised me and also touched me deeply.

I asked it for a transmission of energy from him, and he said everything he has written is already going through me already as a transmission. The transmission is already happening. I said I wanted the full course of his transmission so could he touch me or do something anyway? Or blow chi into me or something? To just make sure I get everything. He touched me with both arms lightly on my shoulders.

Then I wanted to talk to Waking Nomad but I came out of lucidity. I resolved to put him first on my list next time I got lucid... now that I am getting better at interacting with dream characters.

Comments: I had gone back to sleep for just a bit... so I was surprised at the WILD. Wasn't even trying for it.

I had a question. This communal house... i seem to go there often. Is this a dream sign if you are in a WILD? Or is that possible?
10-29-2009, 08:48 PM
Baron Samedi

Awesome. Wow. That's cool that you ate the crystal. Is the Chi Master your dream guide?

It appears so.

The communal house seems like a a dream house that you created. The others may be all DC's, other dreamers, or a mix of both.

I think everyone can create or has created some type of place they keep returning to in dreams.
10-30-2009, 06:40 PM
beachgirl

hmm... i guess the chi master might be a dream guide, after all! that would be great!

and the communal house must be a place like you describe. i seem to go there alot. i don't "plan" to go there. i "wind up" there. like the dream takes me there. ... interesting...
thanks. a dream house. i like that.

DILD: Call for Help

6:01 AM: My brother said my father might have interacted with me in a certain way... and suddenly I went Lucid. I was all by myself in this classroom - the shades were drawn so the first thing I did was try to get out of there. In order to do that I started to open the shades. (I may have been locked in there?) I also wrote on the blackboard in large letters, HELP so that someone might see inside the window once it was open. Opening the blinds made a lot of noise and clatter. I was able to look outside the window once it was open and before I woke up; i was on the second floor of the school building.

Unfortunately, I was having some sort of allergic reaction and the sound of my own breathing woke me up.

Comment: this was a double dream sign, two deceased relatives. Going Lucid was a snap and if I had not the breathing problem I think I could've gone a long way further. I will start taking pycnogenol for the allergy.

PS Some nice imagery too. Like the "childhood" scene of the classroom (where I get to learn), the desire to open the "blinds", call for help, make noise, etc.. i wish i had stayed with it longer. and of course i wanted to do more things too once i was lucid.

oh well... that's the great thing about lucid dreaming. every night i get to go to sleep again and have more dreams!

Congratulations on your lucidity. Sorry your physical discomfort effed it up.

Were you afraid in the lucid dream? How did you feel?

I was pretty triggered while non-lucid. I think when i went lucid i started to take control of the situation and was feeling increasingly more empowered... more focused on getting results.

WILD: Traveling Around

6:14 AM: I was in a circle of 12 women and one of them gave me a gossamer robe and said this is to recognize your contribution and service after so many years on our planet. You get the name Viva.

Then I went to visit Waking Nomad and we were in this room we went through one door and then another and we were in this smoky lounge. There were banquettes and it looked like a dream bar or something. There were curtains hanging in the whole place did kind of look rather sultry.

Comment: I think this may have been a dream bar in the new Tower? I didn't know what to make of it at the time but now i am learning to build new places and not have to know where I am. I create where i am as I go along!

WILD: Magical Trip to Vurl

7:16 AM: I went to the planet Vurl and she told me I was an exchange person. I was brought in to learn more about the ways of men and share what we did on our planet. Men like to come there because there were wonderful whirlpools there and women were there that were trained to heal men.

There was a sister planet named Von where women went to get healed, and I asked if women ever came to Vurl? And the Queen Lady of Vurl said increasingly women were coming to Vurl because they were becoming increasingly more masculinized in their daily life. They used to simply go to Von.

Since it was my 200th visit they gave me the honorary title of Viva which is part of their custom. She took me to these beautiful caves - and their beautiful whirlpools where these women floated me in the water.

The Queen Lady of Vurl called upon me to keep doing the work that I was doing. I met one of her other ladies. I asked them why they were interested in me and she just said I had a unique perspective.

Next I was taken to this cave in a whirlpool and it dropped down to the bottom of the whirlpool and I got stuck. I actually fell through the bottom to the ocean floor, and I was trying to climb back out.

I guess the women who had been with me were now gone, and I was trying very hard to reach the top of the whirlpool but I couldn't make it, so I sat down on the ocean floor and looked around. I guess I was with someone new now who told me “when you're on the bottom but don't be too upset because it's really beautiful down here”, so I started looking for shells, and my companion told me, "don't be so hasty to try and get out. There are a lot of riches down here."

"If you can just hold on to your shell, you can always come back here. Maybe there's a reason why you fell down here, maybe there's a reason why you can't get out right away. Stop and look around. This is actually a very sacred space. Maybe you're not supposed to get out right away. Spend more time down here in the depths."

So I spent some time just combing the floor of this cave and I found a beautiful starfish shell and a beautiful conch shell and she said "you can just think of them and come into the healing whirlpools of Vurl and rejuvenate yourself". Then I wasn't so worried or scared and I just hung out there.

Intense sleep paralysis and HH before this dream began

WILD: Getting Advice from a Jamaican Nurse

5:45 AM: I was in this cafeteria eating these big bran muffins and I lost my place so I went back and started taking other people's muffins so I could re-create my own muffins. Then I went Lucid and realized I was in a hospital with someone on the parking lot and a service technician and I had this conversation - I asked her what was going on. I told her what had happened about my muffins and she said "you have to take the bad with the good and the good with the bad. You have to do that with life in general." We walked for a while. She was Jamaican, and a nurse, maybe.

Comment: haven't I heard this advice before in another lucid dream? That's right... the pharmacist told me the exact same thing!

WILD: Getting Advice from an Osteopath

6:40 AM: I left the hospital and ran into an osteopath and we started talking and I asked if he would do a session. He invited me into his classroom. He looked at my head any look inside very clinically.

Now we were making these clay figures of our teeth and molds of people that were reddish-purple color. I wanted to show mine to him but I lost him. I found him again and try to get his opinion or resume the examination.

Derek made a point in the classroom - it's not about the anatomical, it's about the energy.

Comment: I must've been in the mood to get advice today on some level! Seriously though, I've been practicing talking to dream characters and asking their opinions about things. I guess this is what I've come up with so far.

Dream fragment: New York Loft

I am in a loft in New York City on 21st St. The apartment is very beautifully appointed, and I go from room to room. There are many vaulted ceilings in each of the rooms, and I find myself wishing that I had purchased a loft in New York City when the prices had been reasonable. I can look out the windows and see beautiful pictures of the park - there are people in each of the rooms, but I do not think to stop and talk to them. But it is just the kind of house that somebody would thrill to live in, right in the middle of New York City.

Non-Lucid: Who Stole My Table?

8:07 AM: I am at a Junior League meeting sitting outdoors, I've just ordered a grilled half of barbecued chicken and I'm ready to sit down. They're going to be reading from Richard Bach's novel, Illusions. When I get ready to sit down, next a woman I don't know, I realize someone has taken away our table. Actually my table mate has given it away. I run off to retrieve the table. I think it is going to be heavy, made out of marble, but when I go to retrieve it, it is actually very light, and only made out of plastic. They're pretty nice about giving it back to me. At first I was angry and upset, but everyone seemed really nice, so I calmed down

Comment: here I am in New York City again.

NonLucid: Arm Load of Pastries on Campus

7:53 AM: I'm in a pastry shop on a university campus in San Rafael. This is actually the second pastry shop I have been to. I have already been to another one where I've purchased coffee and other pastries and doughnuts. I got a chocolate croissant. The checkout lady pointed out my arm load of pastries from this other place, so I was kind of embarrassed. Then I was looking at a map trying to figure out exactly where I was on this campus. Apparently there were two campuses, a North campus and a South campus.

Non-Lucid: Dream Fragment

8:05 AM: a sandwich being pulled over in half and a woman said there made just the way you want it - one slice of bread, not two- and lettuce and tomato. I don't think there was lentils in it.

NonLucid: Cool Whip

4:08 AM: we're talking to this drug dealer, and we're there to get some kind of smoke, and he showing us this whip. Then he shows us another kind. Then someone comes to do a transaction and he demonstrates yet another kind of whip which is really cool, kind of like a cat o’ nine tails. I want to feel and touch it.

Non-Lucid: a Dog Named Terry

6:25 AM: I go to this house to try and rescue this cat, and then I find this dog. Its name is Terry. It's in a really big nice house where all the rooms are really beautifully decorated. Everyone else seems to be playing with a dog named Terry too and they get really threatened that I came around with my dog named Terry. They try and get rid of me so I go off to another part of the house, this dining room. We have a little ball and we're playing with it. I try and go lucid, since dogs are often a dream sign for me, but it's too late.

Unfocused WILD Party…

7:59 AM: I’m walking around, wondering about Thanksgiving food, people asking me what I wanted, people there I didn't know it inviting me places, and I want to invite this other couple. I was walking around this party, and it was kind of awkward, because I didn't know too many people, but I was excited to be there. Jostling elbows and going from room to room. I was just observing the party but not interacting much with people.

Non-lucid: Triple Dream sign: NYC Deceased Cats

7:03 AM: I was going up to my old apartment in New York City. My arms are full of packages so I put them down to get my key to open the door. I hadn't fed my cats, nonetheless seen them, for some very long time, and I could smell the fact that I hadn't changed their litter in a long time. A wave of guilt passed over me. I open the door, and they were crying. I went over to pet them. They didn't look anything like I remember. They were hairless. For one thing. This was a triple dream sign. Deceased relatives, cats, and, New York City, and odd occurrences. I went lucid, but unfortunately it was such a strong jolt that I woke up and was unable to resume the dream.

WILD: Long Day Visiting Here and There

8:37 AM: this is really long... In no particular order... I went to visit my Chi Master in Berkeley, which is really weird because he doesn't live in Berkeley, but anyway... he said I need to balance my brain so he put his hands on either side of my head and told me to keep doing my exercises, that would really help.

I went to visit White Tiger and we were in the Dream Bar and we were cuddling in the Dream Bar and listening to some music. Soft, funky Euro mash jazz - There were some new curtains in there, this time they were white and gently pulled together at the center. Very attractive like hourglasses. I was sitting in his lap. And he gave me a massage.

Eventually I went out and created an art studio and created some abstract art, large scale. Sort of Jackson Pollock, with very bright colors.

At one point I went to visit Mr. Wonderful and we practiced a double microcosmic orbit together. It was fun doing this in a dream because I could watch and trace the energy lines going around through us.

NY Visit

6:03 AM: I have flown to New York City for some reason and I'm now in a meeting. It's an exclusive gathering of women. I think they are all women I know. They remind me of the women at C.. We’re going around doing a lot of sharing. A lot of the women are wearing all sorts of gorgeous lingerie. I remember one woman in white panties and a bra, very lacy. We were talking about guys. Someone else talked about selling these multi-colored streamers on the beach, and showed us a movie, as a business proposition. We were laughing about this perfume called Beverly Hills Cop that was brought by this woman I was mad at. I jokingly call it Beverly Hills Crap. Everyone was cracking up, including the person who brought it. At the end, I referenced it again and everyone was cracking up again. It felt really good to be in a community of women, especially since I think I knew some of them, even though I don't recognize their faces.

Dream signs: the location "C" (a communal living space); New York City, sexy lingerie being worn by strangers (people coming on to me and being sexy)

Office Scene with Other Women

7:13 AM: I am in an office. I think it's in New York but I'm not sure. There's a bunch of women, and we are all in this big office room, trying to allocate office space amongst us. There are many intricate edges and corners to this room. Although it is large, it is not easy to divide it up evenly. I argue that I need the biggest space, because I have to trade and need a machine on my desk. I convinced everyone else to give me the largest office space. Everyone else just gets a very little school sized desk. There are other things in here, a tiny stove and shower, for example. I'm feeling a little guilty about getting the largest sized desk. Beneath my desk I discover some giant mirrors. At the end, someone opens up my desk drawer and discovers checks and money.

Fun with My IPhone

7:21 AM: there was a party at Lana’s. There was a large crowd of people and I met this guy. He wanted to take my picture with his iPhone. I had an iPhone too. I was having trouble loading up my iPhone -- it was stuck on some setting. This guy showed up and took my picture and help me fix my iPhone. The picture got lost but we were having a lot of fun anyway.

Dream signs: Lana

Upsetting Check out Scene

8:46 AM: we were staying at this little resort, and trying to check out. It was taking the longest time to settle the bill. We were going through expenses, such as mosquito repellent, etc. Meanwhile these kids come from next door and ask if somebody's scarf is missing? They come by twice and we say no. They tell us the scarf is pink and orange. Meanwhile we are still trying to check out and it is extremely frustrating. I'm getting nervous that we are never going to have our vacation, since we will be stuck here. The checkout clerk tries to argue with me about why I'm getting upset, and I try and explain to him.

Dream signs: frustration

Fun House Time

4:13 AM: went to this fun house. It wasn't supposed to go there because I. was there with his girlfriend, but I did. Eventually I wound up meeting Ken Wilber in this big old house, where I wound up cleaning up his shirts and shining his shoes and having a great conversation. He has a cat, and we were talking about how ridiculous that was. He was very cool. His designer shoes were beautiful.

Dream signs: big old house, cat

NYC Again!

8:01 AM: we were in this class and compare notes of some kind. I think it was about men. The teacher told us to get into groups and have an extended discussion. We all had some ice cream with whipped cream on top. After that I left, and I was with David, and we took an elevator up to his apartment. I was wondering if we were going to be hit by terrorists, since I was in New York City? We take the elevator and get off and go to this apartment, but it is not his apartment. It is another apartment, and they are having an AA meeting or some other type of meeting in there. David says we can jump down to his apartment, but I look out the window and all I can see is the street way below me. I have a fear of heights and refuse to do that, so we get into the elevator again. We wind up on the first floor and it is very confusing. Apparently this is a very large apartment building.

Dream signs: being in school, New York City
