Erinn's DJ

Here goes nothing, my dream journal.... Well, I'll start it with a couple of dreams, those that I can remember clearly and I'll continue adding more as I dream, of course. Journal Entry #1 Jan 13 Dream#1 (non-LD) Flying It wasn't actually a dream, it was a large number of non-LDs, when I was a kid. I used to dream about flying almost every night, they looked so real and I was amazed how REAL the flying experience felt like. The funny thing in those dreams...at least it's funny to me , was that every time I tried to fly, I remember that I thought "Oh hell no, I can't fly, it's just a dream, and I can prove it", and when I tried to prove it, I was in the air and was thinking "Oh well, it's not a dream, it looks like I can really fly". I'm mentioning these dreams because I think this flying technique will come in handy when I learn how to control my LDs, it's like an aeroplane take-off, ruuun like hell, spread your arms, get your feet of the ground, and you're in clouds. Neat =) I'll definitely use that one when I get my lucid dreaming under control. Dream#2 (LD) First lucid dream This dream was my first lucid experience,and it...it scared the crap out of me. So...I was dreaming, don't remember what, some random dream. Anyway, I got up from the bed, feeling awake (that's what I thought !) and I entered another room in my house and tried to turn on the light because it was dark but the light "lagged". Firstly, I didn't know how but it seemed like the light worked only when I wanted it to work, and I thought "Holy crap, I'm having a dream and I know it." That's when everything in the room, and pretty much everything else started to fade out like someone butchered the picture in photoshop and the image was fading away.The worse part of it was that the fading was followed by some kind of evil laugh. I tried to wake up, but my body didn't want to move for a couple of seconds. Then I woke up, did a reality check with some electronics, splashed my face with cold water, and I hardly had any sleep that night. I guess that I was just not prepared, and that's why I created my own nightmare. After that dream I said to myself that I will never again try to have a LD, but now...a YEAR after that, I realize that It's ok, but I have to convince myself that I have the absolute control in my dreams. Dream #3 (non-LD) Walking in the harbour with my father A stupid, dull dream I had last night, writing it down just for the journal's sake. I was walking in the harbour with my father, just walking. Suddenly, he took a shortcut,and started walking on the water to get to the other side of the harbour, and I didn't care why he did that. When I got near him, he was buying sodas for bunch of children around him that wanted something to drink (?). That's pretty much it, what a stupid dream P.S. Greetings to the dreaming community ! This is my first newbie post

Welcome Erinn No dreams are stupid and dull. Part of the DJ discipline (for me anyway) is to write down everything without judgement. But I'm much more into interpretation than lucids so I'm biased. My lucids are about as minimal as yours.

Welcome Erinn No dreams are stupid and dull. Part of the DJ discipline (for me anyway) is to write down everything without judgement. But I'm much more into interpretation than lucids so I'm biased. My lucids are about as minimal as yours. I guess those dreams seemed dull and stupid because I was the one who experienced them, I noticed that people often say that some dreams they had were boring or stupid, but I very often have a lot of fun reading those "boring" dreams. I think that "minimal" is the appropriate word, thanks, hehe. However, altough I find those dreams boring sometimes, I don't see them as meaningless or like a complete failure.I don't know why, and it might sound silly but it seems to me that dreams are like fine wine, the older they get, the better they are Enough with the mumbo-jumbo, You got my point. It's time to write a new journal entry !

A fresh dream ! Jan 14 Dream #1 (non-LD) Saxophone ! It was nighttime, and I was in an old building in the old town part of my city, in it's middle part. The streets and the old buildings around that one and a narrow street in front of the "dream building" were all made of stone blocks, pretty much like in the reality. The building looked like some kind of old massive Roman church, but inside it looked like a usual living room.I was there with my father's friends, older people, and I remember my friend was also there with them, his father was my father's mate.They were having some kind of celebration. I decided to go to a smaller room which was connected with that room. I found a saxophone in that room and I knew it belonged to my friend's father, I knew he doesn't like when people touch his accordion that was lying there next to the sax. (IRL, he never touched a saxophone, he only plays the accordion) Anyway, I lifted up the saxophone and I believed I know how to play it, so I pushed my head out of the window with the sax to play a note or two without getting heard, but the saxophone's owner came into the room. He wasn't angry at all because I touched his sax, he just said: "Ah, I see you found my saxophone." I asked him: "Do you know how to play it ?" He replied: "I only know how to play within a major scale." And I said: "What if you want to play a note that's not in that scale, or some other note from the chromatic scale ?" He didn't reply, he was stunned for a second with a confused look and then he picked up some saxophone fingering charts and started looking at them carefully. He looked nervous and disturbed. His son, my friend, was also there, but he didn't do or say a thing. I said: "Only thing I know about saxophones is that when you release a valve, you get a higher note and I'm not even 100&#37; sure about that." And I thought I'm probably right about that because the mechanism can't be so different from other wind instruments and I know how to play tin whistles and the flute. >>There is some space after that in my memory....I don't remember what happened in between or if anything actually happened, I'll just write the next thing I remember.<< Everyone left the church-looking building, turned right and started walking. I was late, but I wanted to go with them too, so I went out with a heavy backpack on my back, it looked like ones that tourists always carry with them. Anyway, as I was walking, someone called my name and asked me to come in his car that was parked near the church-like building. It was my friend's father and he asked me to help him with reading saxophone charts for fingering different notes because he wants to learn how to play more notes. Oh, and one more thing...I remember hearing a line from U2's song "Bullet The Blue Sky". It was this line: "...a man breathes into his saxophone..."

Very odd dreams Jan 15 Dream#1 (non-LD) Dreaming of dreaming a lucid dream I was dreaming that I was dreaming in my bedroom.I knew I was about to experience a lucid dream.It was like really having it, I felt muscle contractions on the back side of my neck and Iremember seeing bright light, hearing random noise and my eyes moving like crazy. I thought "This is it, I'm going through the hypnagogic state, and entering my REM fase fully aware of what's going on." After that, don't ask me why, but I woke up (FA) and I was excited because I wanted to tell my friend, who is into LDs what just happened to me.Then I went back to sleep in my dream. Pretty weird, isn't it ? Dream#2 (non-LD) A word from a harpy This dream was pretty simple. There was a person standing in front of me, and there was nothing else around that person that I can remember. I don't know what was that person's sex, let's call it a "he" because it looked like a man at the beggining. So, he jumped, vertically, and while he was jumping, his body transformed into a harpy-like creature that looked more like a woman, so now it was a "she". When that creature jumped, it spread it's wings and it was floating in the air. It looked something like this... Anyway, she looked at me again and said, with an otherwordly, but yet, soothing voice: "This is just a dream". However, I didn't become aware that I'm dreaming, so that's everything I remember.

It's interesting that you mention the part about flying where you say to yourself that it's still real in the dream. I've encountered many situations like this when trying to become lucid and get really frustrated when I wake up because I feel it should've been an obvious sign that I was dreaming A good post though and some interesting dreams.

Yea, I get really frustated when I wake up too, I hate it. I mean... That harpy even said it, loud and clear "This is just a dream." I really don't get why my mind doesn't want to BELIEVE in that. If anyone can help me with my with stubborn mind, or drop a line or two on this subject, please do. Oh,and ShadowLurker, thanks for commenting on my post, cheers.

Jan 16 Dream#1 (non-LD) Bass... I just remember hearing a solid, mid-tempo, heavy bass line repeating over and over and over again. Too bad I don't remember the bass line, it was a good one. Dream#2 (non-LD) Neighbour I was leaving my apartment with my family and we entered the elevator. The elevator stoped on a floor under, and my neighbour, a middle-aged woman, came in. I was expecting to hear some complaining, becase that's what she always does, complains about how my family is too loud. She didn't complain at all, on the contrary, she looked friendly and she said: "You can see that I was't thinking of going out, otherwise, I wouldn't wear this that I'm wearing at this moment." I had a feeling there's something different about her this time, because she's usually a very unfriendly person. She was wearing casual clothes, those clothes that you usually wear when you're home, and you definitely don't go out wearing them. When we got out of the elevator and out of the building, we started walking somewhere and she was following us in a silly way, like she didn't even care if we notice that she's following us. So, we were walking and walking and we stopped when we arrived at some place on the seaside, but it was not a building, it looked like it's a part of the city. She stopped too, and when she got our attention, she said: "You know, I actually don't mind all those sounds coming from your apartment, your dog barking, and I don't mind if you people like music and there's always someone listening to music, or playing something. I know you're nice people and I apologize for being aggresive and always complaining." I didn't believe my ears what she just said, but I wanted to. That's everything I remember...I wish this happened IRL, that woman is really annoying. hehe

Jan 17 Dream#1 (non-LD) She's my girlfriend ? This dream started with a picture of me and 3 or 4 of my friends sitting on a wall in a park.I know those friends were my classmates but I don't remember who was it exactly.I recognized the park in which we were sitting because of the sand that was there, that park exists in the waking world. So, all of a sudden, we got company. Their girlfriends arrived, I don't know who they were but I felt like I know them. I was the only one without a girlfriend there and I wasn't very happy about it, I felt stupid. Then, a girl from my class joined us, she said hello to me and she looked very happy when she did that.She crouched in front of me, hugged me and she was kissing me passionately. I was surprised, but then I remembered that I forgot that I have a girlfriend and that she is my girlfriend. I felt happy and didn't care about that and I just continued kissing her. Btw, I never had any feelings for this girl IRL, so this dream seems a bit strange to me. Oh, well, dreams aren't meant to be clear.

[Erinn]

Jan 18 NOTE: Before going to sleep, I said to myself: "I will remember all of my dreams, and If I become lucid, I will remember it perfectly." Lucidity didn't happen, but I guess this helped.Btw, I wrote some notes about first two dreams in my DJ during the night. (I had trouble reading those notes, You try to write without any light source and sleepy !) Dream #1 (non-LD) Zappa and Marijuana I remember some kind of a large shopping mall that had empty space in it's middle like some kind of a square that is not unusual to see in those kinds of malls.Anyway, there was a show going on there and the main star was Frank Zappa, but he wasn't a musician, he was a stand-up comedian who brought some musicians with him to play some music between his monologues. He said: "Now, please welcome my friend >can't remember his name<, he's going to play something for us." When his friend was on the stage, he looked VERY VERY VERY STONED, I know because he looked at me and he said: "So, here's a song to remember those days when we were smoking pot in California, it's called Marijuana." I am pretty sure the song they preformed sounded exactly like Afroman's "Because I Got High". Dream #2 (non-LD) Killer condoms I was going to have sex with 2 fine looking girls so I had to use some kind of protection. I opened one of two condom packages that were made of paper and put the condom on my penis. But no... this wasn't a regular condom in any way. It looked like a steel spring, I found a picture on the net how EXACTLY it looked, because I mustn't forget what I was actually using as a condom, lol. This is how EXACTLY it looked: So, I had a threesome with those 2 girls and then I talked with my friend about it (that was the friend that's into lucid dreaming, V.D.) and he said this about one of those girls: "Oh my God ! You fucked her ?! You really don't know who she is ???? Oh my God !" Next thing I remember was me sitting on my bed and putting the other condom that I had in my pocket on my penis IN FRONT OF MY MOTHER. This was by far the what-the-fuckiest dream I've ever had. Dream #3 (non-LD) Burned biscuits and an old woman with a funny accent NOTE: This dream is kind of related to dream #4, but I "know" that those two were different dreams. I was on the Island where my friend's relatives live, one of the most beautiful places in my country. (You remember that saxophone player ? Well, this friend is his son.) I was in the "main" town on that island, a small town with narrow streets and buildings built only using stone blocks.My mother and my sister were there with me. We were in a small alley with doors to a house on both of it's sides.It looked a bit different than in real world. I knew the house on the left side was the one where my friend's grandmother lived and I knew we were going there. My mother took a peak behind the doors on the right side of the alley. As the doors were opening, a small woman ran away out of our sight. My mom said: "This looks great !" but I explained to her that this is not the house that we're looking for. There was a room with a stove and there was some meat frying in a pan. My mother closed the doors and we turned to the left side of the alley, where we wanted to go. This was the house that we were looking for, the one where my friend's grandmother lived.It had two doors, one not so far from each other, and a small table between them.I knew the right doors were jammed and we can't open them. There were some biscuits on the table shaped like squares. My mother said : "Oooooh !" The top ones were a bit overbaked. I knew they were there waiting for us, so I started eating one of them, I was pretty sure these were some kind of island's special biscuits. My mother was knocking on the left door and yelling: "We're here!". The old lady heard us and came out of the house with a look on her face that was saying that she doesn't like visitors but she let us in anyway and prepared the lunch for us. She asked: "Where are the others ?". We said that they'll be here soon. She was looking at us while we were eating and I was amusing myself thinking about her funny accent. Dream #4 (non-LD) My grandmother's prostate I was having lunch at my grandmother's, she was sitting on the other side of the table and my sister was on my left. Granny reached out for a piece of my bread and put it back where it was, near my plate. My sister said: "Do you know that some body fluids that come out of the prostate go through our hands ?" (?) Then I asked: "So, that means that she just took a piss right on my bread ?" (??) My grandmother replied: "I've been washing tons of laundry every day for fifty years with these hands." (???) I guess she thought that was the way to prove that her hands were clean.

Jan 19 Damn, I couldn't remember a single dream !

[Erinn]

Jan 20 Dream #1 (non-LD) The missing banjo I was listening to a song in some kind of multitrack recording and producing software that looked like Adobe Audition.It didn't feel like I'm looking at the computer, the program WAS my dream. I was listening to a cover of some well-known song, don't know which one. Banjo was the lead instrument in that cover, but when I played the song, the banjo channel was empty, there was no banjo and the song was really "empty" without the banjo sound. Next thing I remember was an opened audio sample.It was the banjo ! So, I played that banjo sample...that's all.

[Erinn]

Jan 21 NOTE: This night, I tried using the MILD technique, LDs were only thing on my mind before going to sleep. Dream #1 (LD ??) False reality, LD rampages and motorbikes This was a very weird dream, I'm not actually sure if all of it happened in the same dream (in the same REM period) but I think they were connected. I remember becoming lucid and losing lucidity happened 4-5 times in this period, but It wasn't "real" lucidity.Each time I felt like someone is starting a car engine, and when the engine is running, I'm lucid.Sometimes "the engine" would fail to ignite so I had to try it again.It really felt like something in the back of my head, in the cerebellum to be more precise, was vibrating like crazy when I was "trying" to become lucid. So, why they weren't real lucid dreams ? The reason I wrote that is because everytime I got my lucidty, my dream turned blank...sometimes everything was black, sometimes white, but no space, no lucid reality.I tried saying to myself "Increase lucidty !" but nothing happened, so I just woke up. There was one LD where I felt like I'm in bed but I was controlling a motorbike using my lucidity in a computer game that was displayed on a large LCD that was about 2,5 meters in height, but I woke up very soon after that. The strangest thing about these dreams was that each time I woke up, I didn't wake up in my own bed. I was sleeping in a bunkbed in a large room, and I knew that that house was large. A friend from my class, an overweight rich girl, was sleeping in the same room, so I assumed it was her house, but I don't know why I was sleeping there. The last time I "woke up" there, someting really gross happened...she was walking around the room, and I couldn't stop thinking of having sex with her, I really wanted to do it, but another "car engine" LD burst disturbed me, and that's everything I remember. I CANNOT be sure that these dreams were actually REAL lucid dreams, it's possible that I was dreaming of having them, because that already happened to me once (I think) and I was thinking only about LDs that night, but my awarness felt so real and "aware", I was awake in my mind and I remembered this dream better than usual, so I believe those were real LDs. Dream #2 (non-LD) Nooo, my vitamins ! In this one, I was in my kitchen and I was going to take my usual dose of vitamins and minerals.I found my nutrition pills and instead of taking one pill and drinking it, I poured water right into the package and my pills started to dissolve.They weren't all the same, every pill was different colour. I was angry at myself because I was so clumsy and I wanted to save the pills from dissolving in water completely because they were expensive and I just bought that package recently. I took a sip from that plastic bottle with pills and swallowed one pill along with some liquid that was in there. It had an acid taste and I was pretty sure that I've taken a larger dose than I was supposed to take. I found a plate and spilled everything from the bottle on it and I tried to get rid of the water that was there, because pills were dissolving very fast. I was extracting the water over the edge of the plate into the sink very carefully, but some pills slipped away and fell into the sink. I felt miserable and was trying to pick as more pills as possible with my hands and put them in my mouth. I really didn't want to belive that this has just happened to me, so I decided to wake up. (what the... ?) Dream #3 (non-LD) A rare recording I was in the countryside in my cottage.I don't remember anything about my father being there, but I remember his "presence". I found a CD on the table, it was a recording of an ex-Yugoslavian band "Bijelo Dugme". There was something strange about that CD, so I examined it. It was a live recording from their last tour, the cover image looked exactly like on the "normal" album.The booklet was also normal but something still seemed different.I noticed there was a third CD under the usual 2 CDs. It was a rare studio recording, recorded in their early ages. I remember Tito's (Yugoslavian president) name was on the CD's title and the CD's colours were blue, white and red (Yugoslavian flag colours) and a communist red star was somewhere on the CD too. The year on the CD said that the CD was made somewhere in 70's or 80's. I was confused, because I thought: "There were no CD's then, only vinyl records...but...I don't know maybe they somehow had the technology to do it." Anyway, that CD looked ancient but preserved through time and I was really happy that I found it because it had some songs on it that I never heard of.

Jan 22 NOTE: I read about rearranging sleep time in EWLD.It said that it helps with dream recall and LDs, so I tried it and I'm more than satisfied with the results and I'm definately going to try it again. I had my 3rd LD this night, but unfortunately, none of those 3 dreams was a "real" LD, but they fall under that category, because, after all, I WAS aware of my dreaming state, and that's the definition of LDs. Dream #1 (non-LD) Making out with Kirsten Dunst The Dog I was entering a restoraunt with 2 girls from my class, let's call them BB and SK.There was a guy with us too, but I don't know who he was. The restaurant had two sections, the left section was "fancy", for rich and famous people, the right side was for "common" people. My friends were entering the right side when I stopped.They continued walking.I saw a very good looking woman on the left side entrance.It was Kirsten Dunst (later when I woke up, I remembered she looked like something between Kirsten Dunst and Cameron Diaz, only with waaaay better body and with fuller lips). I noticed her nipple, then I noticed both of her large boobs were out. She was trying very hard to put them back in the dress, but they were just falling out. I asked her if I can help and she said yes. So, I tried to help her by grabbing her boobs and trying to put them back in, but they were too large for her dress, that just didn't work.I knew there's no way to put those boobs back in, but I continued touching them and she seemed to like it.I looked at her and I couldn't help to notice the intensity of her red lipstick on her perfect lips, I really wanted her lips.I stared at her for a couple of seconds and then I kissed her, she kissed me back, and we started making out.She was a strong kisser, more passionate than gentle, but I loved that, it turned me on even more.I pulled her closer to me, I was grabbing her ass and touching her body.I could feel the silk surface of her dress under my fingers, it was an amazing feeling.My friends were staring at us from the right side of the restaurant, so me and Kirst moved out of their line of sight, but somehow, they moved too and they could still see us. Kirsten asked me: "Was that enough for you?" She sounded like she was doing this only because she owed me for helping her with her boobs, like she didn't really enjoy doint this, even though it didn't feel that way. I replied: "Only a couple of minutes more...no, I want three minutes, please." We continued making out. I don't remember how it ended but next thing I remember was myself in the restaurant bathroom, upset and thinking: "That was really bad, I was actually kissing a dog, what will people say ? I WAS KISSING A DOG.That was disgusting and absolutely not hygenic.Oh, why did I do it ?!?!" Odd... Dream #2 (non-LD) Walking a road in the village I was in the village where my cottage is and I was walking a road.It wasn't a wide road and it was covered with rough white gravel.I came to a part of the road where it suddenly turned left and back to it's old direction.I thought it was probably because a tree was there, so people didn't want to cut it and they build the gravel road around it. A girl stormed near me on a moped.It was a girl from the village and I liked very much when I was a small kid.Anyway, I continued walking. I knew I was going to see a waterfall at the end of the road.I didn't want people (?) to think that I'm just another tourist that wants to see it.I knew it was a huge waterfall, something like Niagara falls on a ground-level river. In real life, there IS a waterfall in my village, but it's a small waterfall since the river is in a deep canyon.Btw, I imagined the river coming from the opposite direction than IRL. And in real life, the road was wide enough for a car to drive there and it wasn't made of white gravel, it was made of asphalt concrete. Dream #3 (non-LD) No, you shouldn't dance to that song ! I was in a caffé bar with my classmates.BB was here too (I mentioned her in the first dream).We were sitting at a long table that was parallel to a wall behind it.I was at the side that was looking at the wall, somewhere in the middle of it.BB was sitting on the other side, to the right.I would often find myself staring at her. I thought: "They are quite boring." Then, I heard a familiar song. It was "Nothing else matters" by Metallica. They all got up to dance, but I remained seated and was saying to myself: "This is a crime, how can they dance to this song ?! This song was made for listening and enjoying to it, not for dancing." I was a bit angry at them. Dream #4 (non-LD) A nosey waiter Like in the dream #2, I was back in my village and like in the dream #4, I was in a caffé bar, but this time I was on my own. The bar reminded me of a bar IRL, the atmosphere was the same, and the chairs were more like small benches but the room looked more like a living room.There was even a TV set there, it was near my table. A guy that was on a table near me asked me to pass him a chair.I was exhausted and cranky, so I just pushed the chair fair enough so he can reach for it.The waiter noticed that I looked very bad. He asked me: "Say, what were you doing that got you so tired ?" Even though I didn't like the tone of his voice and I didn't want to talk to anyone at that moment, I replied: "I was on the beach, ok ? I was swiming." He looked surprised as if it was some kind of luxury to go to the beach. He said: "So, you were on the beach ? You don't say... that's interesting." This time he sounded really annoying, like he was mocking me on purpose. I replied: "Yes I was on the beach swimming. It's not a problem, my father has a car here and he always drives me there." Dream #5 (non-LD) Crusader suicide This dream was slightly different than my usual dreams.I wasn't actually participating in it, I was just observing it like a movie. So, there was a medieval priest knight, a crusader, I think riding on his horse.His armour looked medieval too, but the place was not medieval at all.He was in my city, on the street near my school, I remember the bushes on the side of that road. When he rode up that street, he got of his horse and entered some kind of a medieval pavillon that was there.There were some men in there, they looked like monks and scholars.They saluted the crusader with respect. He pulled out a dagger from his pocket and stabbed himself in the upper abdomen.He wasn't showing any signs of fear, he just did it. The men that were in the pavillon said: "Just look at that honorable man! He sacrificed the most precious of all things, his own life !" The crusader walked slowly to his horse with the dagger in his flesh, bleeding and he rode away. The men said: "Just look how brave that man is! Even with a dagger in his chest, he can ride his horse. Just imagine how much pain he is feeling right now, but still, he doesn't want us to see the last of his moments, so he is going away. A noble man, indeed." Dream #6 (non-LD) Psi-wheel boomerang I was sitting on the floor in a room.There were some people there too. The guitarist from my band, let's call him SL, was there. He was standing up near me and he was playing with a psi-wheel.It's a paper thingy used for practicing telekinesis, it looks like this: SL dropped the psi-wheel and I cought it. I threw it in away.The wheel did a circle spinning in the air and landed right back into my hands like a boomerang comes back. I thought: "Damn, I really must be lucky." Dream #7 (non-LD) Tweaking the past I brought my friend TN with me to a moment in past when he wasn't with SV, a girl that I wanted to be with but he ended up with her.We were looking at ourselves in past.I wanted him to talk with SV now and to change the past somehow, so that she tells me now that she doesn't want me and not later.I wanted her to admit now that she likes TN, before I fall in love with her. I remember we were trying to avoid ourselves in past because things could get messy if we see ourselves. Dream #8 (LD) Half OBE Early in the morning I firmly decided that I will become lucid when I fall asleep and that happened.My "dream eyes" opened and I was in my bed.I remembered some things that I read in EWLD, so I tried to roll out from my bed in order to separate my "dream body" from my "sleeping body".It didn't work, I felt as heavy as my body was made of stone. Then, I tried to get my "dream body" out of bed and walk into the dreaming world.Somehow, I managed to separate my "dream legs" from my "sleeping body" and I tried to push with them.When I realized that I can control my legs, I tried to push as hard as possible on the closet near my bed, I wanted to push my "dream body" out but it didn't work, I woke up IRL. Dream #9 (non-LD) A prank for a fat man I was in a large wooden house and I was sure that I was on skiing here. There was a friend with me, I don't think it was anyone I know IRL. We were in of many bedrooms in that house. There was a bed in the middle of it, and there were doors on the right side of the room. We were bored, and wanted to do something funny, a prank to a fat guy that was using this house too.I was taking off my skiing gear so I had to be carefull not to make any crackling noise, because we heard the fat man coming up the stairs.My friend crawled under the bed and I freezed on the wall where the doors were. The fat man walked into the room, I saw his foot. That's all... Wow...nine dreams...my hands hurt from typing this much

Jan 23 NOTE: I rearranged my sleep time, like I did the night before. Dream #1 (non-LD) The hurricane game I was in my living room watching TV. My father and my mother were somewhere in the apartment near the living room. There was one of those silly shows about rich and famous on the TV, but this time, the show had an unusual article. It was about some computer games, and the narrator's female voice said: "Computer games reached a very high level, and the technology is getting better with each day. Will games for children ever be the same again ? What if they are more than just games ?" When she said that, I heard a very loud explosion outside.My mother was terrified, she closed the balcony doors and windows and she told us to take cover. I was looking out the balcony from my apartment, the sky was getting darker with each moment.I saw a hurricane coming from the sea towards us.It wasn't wider than 3-4 meters but it was very high.There were some breaking news on the TV.They said: "We have reports of a strong torrent heading towards Br." Br. is a city block 2 blocks behind my block if you're looking from the sea. The torrent was getting closer and closer.It was moving in a strange way, unnatural, like someone was controlling it with a joystick, like it was a game! And I was sure that whoever is controlling the game, wanted that torrent to hit my building because it was approaching to it in a straight line.When it got near my building, my balcony doors and windows just opened from the pressure like when you squeeze a milk package and it pops up.The torrent was on it's way to my apartment, obviously, so I took my dog with me and I ran in the first bedroom in the hall and closed the door.My father was still there in the living room, don't know why. Then I woke up. I think this dream was influenced by my external sensory information, because this was a stormy, rainy and a noisy night with lots of thunder and rumble. Dream #2 (non-LD) Hovering boat I was rowing a small wooden rowing boat on the sea, I only remember the colours of the sky and the sea were a couple of shades darker than usual and my boat wasn't actually making any contact with water surface, it was hovering above it. Dream #3 (non-LD) Playing funky with Fr. I was with my friend Fr., a guitarist.I was playing some music on my bass and he was playing the synthesizer, but I don't remember what he was playing.I remember him sitting on a some kind of a sofa or a chair, on my right side. I started playing "Kiss" by Prince on my bass, but I wasn't playing the bass line, it was the guitar part and the fact that it couldn't be played on the bass didn't bother me at all. I thought: "So what? My bass strings are the same gauge as the guitar strings." (Which, ofc, they are not IRL) Fr. started taping his foot and I was trying to keep up with his tempo. For some reason, that was a very difficult tast and I was constantly missing the first beat. but I just said to myself: "So what? It sounds funky." although I knew it was wrong. I knew Fr. hates chromatic and atonal music, so I wanted to piss him off. I played a part of a bass line from Metallica's "For whom the bell tolls". (It goes like this... |: E G F# F ) I asked him: "Does this sounds atonal to you ?" He said: "Everythings tends to sound atonal." Dream #4 (non-LD) Foot massage orgasm In this dream, I found out that men can massage their feet to experience orgasm without touching the penis. (lol,lol,lol )It was compared to women massaging their breasts for sexual arousal.I was on my way to my bathroom, I wanted to try it. Then, I woke up. Dream #5 (non-LD) Making out with an imaginary girl...The Dog, again This dream was very vivid and very, very sick...lol I was in my kitchen pretending I'm making out with a girl, I knew it will feel like the real thing if I imagine it and it really did feel amazing.I was holding the imaginary girl in my arms with my eyes closed and was kissing her and touching her ass. The kissing felt so real, I can remember how good it felt. Then...for the second time in my dreams, my making out was interrupted by thoughts of kissing a dog.Let me explain what exactly happened... I was enjoying making out with the imaginary girl and I had to be sure that nobody's watching me because that would look bizzare.Then I realized that I was holding my dog in my arms and that I was making out with it...ewwww. Next thing I remember is me opening the refrigerator.I found an open pack of chocolade.The bar was broken up in pieces, so I took one or two.It was Milka chocolate with hazelnuts.I knew something was wrong, because I was sure I didn't have any Milka chocolate in my refrigerator and then I woke up instead of becoming lucid.

Great recall! Putting a condom on in front of your mother like that is just so wrong... Cool that you got to see Zappa, even though he didn't play. He is kind of a comedian anyways. Nice try on the Half OBE dream. Flailing your dream arms and legs around is easy, but getting your torso and head detached is tough. Kudos for making out with Kristen Dunst, even though she did turn into a dog. You sure three minutes would have been enough time?

Thanks for sharing that I thought Half OBEs don't happen very often. Three minutes...not enough...I want that dream back ! hehe But I'm sure my twisted mind will produce more perv dreams.

Jan 24 Dream #1 (non-LD) Dolls... I was with my friend, T.N. We were talking with a doll made of wool in blue, green and red colours. I don't know why, but I remember the doll was British. I was helping the doll, because it couldn't move it's body although it was alive. I wanted to show the doll how to do a sit-up... on a small metal bar, but it didn't work, the doll just couldn't move it's body on it's own. We stopped messing around with that doll, and I found a ripped of Barbie head with long black hair. The head was alive, it was A.N., a girl from my class.I was staring at her head, and she was staring back, but I didn't find that scary or unusual...I just put it down. Dream #2 (non-LD) WW2 I remember only one thing about this dream...It was something about World War Two and I was there. Dream #3 (non-LD) Keyboards, Black Adder and a broken leg I was with my friend H.R. and Z.M. in the caffé bar that I mentioned before in Journal Entry #10, Dream #4 but this time that bar was somehow my kitchen.I mean, it WAS my kitchen, but I was sure it was that bar. Anyway, me and my friends were laughing and talking about how bad the bar is.He showed me some holes on the ceiling, they were roughly patched with plaster.I said: "Well...it's not that bad, I don't think anyone will accidentaly break them, they're on the ceiling !" After that we were laughing to a funny-looking lustre that was hanging above my dining room table...I don't remember how exactly it looked. And after that, we were making fun of some paper ornaments on my balcony doors which are actually there IRL. I was looking at my balcony doors and somehow I forgot that we're in that bar, and I realized that we were actually in my apartment.My friend Z.M. was in a some kind of a hall that was where my kitchen used to be.He was jumping and trying to hang on a steel bar that was hanging from my ceiling.His right leg was in plaster, like IRL atm.I told him: "Stop that, you will hurt yourself even more, the bar is loose." My friend D.L. (who wasn't here at the beginning of the dream) said: "Hey, it's your bass." and pointed to the balcony doors. My bass was there on a pile of stuff, like a piece of junk.In the dream, I knew that bass was my old bass and that I recently bought a new bass but I thought: "Damn, who put it there." It felt wrong to see my bass lying there together with some worthless junk. Then, I said: "Look how many keyboards (synths) I have !" and pointed to the balcony.There were 5 keyboards there.Two of them were large scale keyboards, one looked like a keyboard I own IRL.Two of them were mid-scale keyboards, again, one looked like a keyboard I own IRL.The last one was a short-scale keyboard, and again... it looked like a keyboard I own IRL. I took out a mid-scale keyboard, the one that looked like the keyboard I use the most of the time IRL.I put the keyboard on my table, I pressed random keys and it worked.I was confused because I knew I don't use batteries and I didn't plug in the adapter.But when I turned around, I noticed the adapter was plugged in... My friend D.L. looked like he realized that I was going to play some music and he didn't want to listen to me playing.I set up the keyboards to sound like organ and wanted to play theme from The Blackadder.I stopped for a second to remember in which key was it...and I remembered it was in E. I was going to play the theme, but then I woke up with theme playing in my mind ... "The sound of hoof beats 'cross the glade.Good folk, lock up your son and daughter !...." Dream #4 (non-LD) 1...28% I was with my class in a bus.We just got the results from our short math test.(The test actually happened IRL). I checked my grade...and I got the lowest grade, 1. I remember my score was 28%.My friend A.G. was sitting behind me, she got 1/2, and I said: "Yay, I'm not alone." Then, I found out that I really wasn't alone...not at all, my classmates F.K.S. and D.L. were sitting a couple of seats in front of me, they got a 1 too. That's it. Btw, in the waking world...later today I got the results from that test and I did get a 1 , but my score was 40%, hehe.

Jan 25 Dream #1 (non-LD) MTVNova I remember a video, some kind of a commercial which was announcing that a Serbian television station called "Pink TV" (IRL, Pink TV is actually a Bosnian TV staton) is finally changing it's name to something normal because it's previous name was something beggining with a "W" and a lot of letters after it. (?) The video showed 2 human figures in profile facing each other and holding with both hands in a way that it looks like the letter "M".Then letters "TV" joined them, so it was "MTV".After that the word "Nova" joined them too...(TV Nova is a Croatian TV station....I don't have to explain what MTV is ) So...the new name for the TV station was "MTVNova" Dream #2 (non-LD) Energy balls I remember a fight between two mages...they were facing each other and fired a some kind of energy balls.It all happened very fast, but I'll try to describe the fight... First, they both fired the energy balls, somehow I knew the left guy was powerful.The balls crashed one into the other between them, and each ball bounced back to their caster, but the left guy cast it away from him, so the ball accelerated and pushed the second ball so the right guy got both of the energy balls.Ouch Dream #3 (non-LD) The Rhine game This dream was like a game.I was looking at myself in 3rd person view. It all started in a small wooden boat on the river Rhine.I think my first "game quest" had to do something with going down the river in the boat.Btw, Rhein looked like a small, muddy stream.The game "graphics" looked pretty much like reality there.I was going down the river slowly with the flow and I decided to take swim.I jumped in the river, but I remembered that Rhein is a very polluted river and swimming wouldn't be such a brilliant idea, so I jumped back in the boat.Btw, Rhine didn't look polluted at all in the dream. When I got to the "end" of the river, I felt I did something wrong, so I made the boat go upstream, but it felt like cheating because I knew the game itself should be the one who's taking the boat upstream.My second try was successful.At the "end" of the river, the game pulled me upstream very fast and then again, rushed me down the river. This time, when I got to the "end", there was a waterfall and I got "launched" from the boat to a crystal clear lake.There was a tower crane in the water, a truck for transporting cars and some cars with passengers in the water.It sure looked like something bad happened here and I knew that my quest was to save someone from the car.The graphics here looked like GTA: San Andreas . I dived in the lake, I spotted a sinking car and decided to rescue people in it. While I was diving, a timer popped up in the bottom-left corner of the "screen".It was a timer with red digital numbers flashing 35.It was showing how much longer can I hold my breath.Seconds, ofc.It looked exactly like this: Underwater graphics looked like World of Warcraft's underwater graphics but I couldn't see far enough because my dream's "graphics card" was too weak for great environment detail.When I got to the car, I remembered my tutorial about walking, diving and driving vehicles (lol).I started driving the car around on the bottom of the lake looking for a way to get out to the dry land.After some time, I found it and I got out when my breath timer almost got down to zero. I got out of the car, I knew my quest was done because a screen popped out of the ground showing me some guidelines for the next quest. I don't remember what it was, though. Dream #4 (non-LD) Greetings to a wrong person My friend L.K. (the one from Journal Entry #2, Dream#1, the 'Saxophone player''s son) came over to my place that morning.We were doing something on my PC.He was sitting on a chair next to me, on my left. My mother just returned from her morning supplies shopping, she didn't even check my room, she just started talking with me assuming that I was somewhere around.She was yelling,ofc.Then, she checked my room, she saw L.K. and she said: "Heeey, hello >>my friend T.N.'s surname<< !" Then she stopped for a second and said: "Oh, wait, sorry, it's L.K. ! Heey, L.K. !" Dream #5 (non-LD) You know my song and I don't ? I was having a conversation with my friend H.R. and I started singing a song that I'm working on with my band these days, "Neverending Sorrow". It was more like humming, like I didn't know the lyrics, only the melody. H.R. joined me but he was singing it perfectly, he didn't miss a single word. I thought...wtf ? I asked him: "How do you know that song ? Where did you get the lyrics ?" He replied: "Well, I know some people who got them for me." And I said: "Well,well, you know the lyrics and I, a band member, don't know it, because they didn't show it to me" After that I wanted to ask him about the other song that we're working on, "Fire", but I don't remember anything from that dream.

Jan 26 Dream #1 (non-LD) Everybody Loves Raymond:Vacation I wasn't participating in this dream, I was observing it. It was "Everybody Loves Raymond", you probably know that sitcom. It started like this... Debra and Ray were on vacation, in front of a motel/restaurant holding each other.I don't remember was it Debra or Ray, but someone said: "Finally, we can have some time for ourselves to enjoy in peace, far away from them." Then, Marie appeared out of nowhere behind them and said: "I hope you didn't forget to bring >>don't remember what<< with you." Then, an old woman and Frank appeared near Marie. Scene changed to inside of the motel.They were pretending as they didn't know each other.Frank said: "Let me guess, you people really think that we came here just because of you ?...Don't you, Deb ?...Debu ?...What was your name again ?" Raymond said: "No !" Scene changed...this time Frank, Raymond and Frank's friend were sitting at the table inside the motel restaurant and arguing about my father's work companion, V.B. Raymond was on the left side of a round table, Frank was on the right side and Frank's friend was sitting between them.They couldn't agree on what was his rank in the German Army when he was in the submarine. haha Frank was saying random military ranks, their english names (Corporal, Sergeant, Lieutenant, etc.) and Frank's friend was translating each rank to German while Frank was saying them.You could feel the nostalgia in his voice while he was translating.German ranks sounded silly, they all had the suffix "man", "von" at the begginning and they were made out of 3 words. After they mentioned every rank, they finally decided that he was a sergeant...and the reason for that decision was because Frank said: "Of course he was a sergeant, he had a rifle in a submarine." I'm sure Frank said that two times to make himself clear. Dream #2 (LD) RAWR ! OBE I was lying in my bed trying to get some sleep and someone was knocking on my apartment's door.The knocking was really annoying and persistent.I was trying to sleep and I was thinking of some "song connections"... don't ask me what that means, I remember I had a picture of song parts on a paper connected with some arrows.The knocking just wouldn't stop ! I was too lazy and sleepy to check out who was it. Knock...knock...knock...knock...ANNOYING, sometimes knocking sounded something like a hi-hat cymbal, I think. I was really angry and I thought. "WHO THE HELL COULD IT BE?? DAMN IT,IT'S NOT EVEN DAWN YET.NO ONE NORMAL COULD POSSIBLY BE UP NOW !" I stopped for a second and realized that indeed, no one normal could be up at that time, especially not knocking at my door, this has to be a dream ! Boom ! I became lucid, but I didn't feel any vibration, I just became aware and I was looking at my bass amplifier near my bed which looked so real. Then I heard a very loud and frightening dog ROAR that scared the crap out of me.I ROARed back since I knew it was a dream but it didn't make my fear go away. I knew that I was dreaming but damn it, that was scary.I managed to move my "dream body" from my "sleep body" and I saw myself in 3rd person view, my "dream body" looked like it was made out of some shadowy substance.Then I woke up. Dream #3 (LD) Hey, that Raymond dream was interesting I don't know why, but I was walking in the old city core and I was thinking: "Hey, that Raymond dream was interesting !...wait...I had that dream recently, what am I doing in the city, I'm supposed to be in bed, sleeping." Boom, I became lucid for the second time that night,everything started shaking but I woke up immediately after that. Dream #4 (LD) Scary garage complex I was going down the stairs, don't know where. I got to some kind of mid-floor level, I had a strong feeling I really shouldn't be there, so I continued going downstairs.I got to a large square room with many many doors.I knew they lead to the garages, but I didn't know which door was the one that I was looking for.Then, someone turned off the lights...I thought: "Great, things can't get worse, this is not happening to me!" *enlightenment moment* "This IS NOT happening to me, I must be dreaming, this is too scary for reality" Boom, I became lucid...for the third time that night. Everything was fading away and I wanted to stay lucid. I remembered that I read in EWLD that I should concentrate on something inside the dream, but everything faded away, there was only blank black space.I was concentrating on the first thing that came to my mind, a car...because I was in the garage complex, but no...I woke up, again, I failed to stay in my lucid dreams for third time that night. Dream #5 (non-LD) Married...With Children:Audition There was a kid (maybe I was that kid) who wanted to go to a casting audition in Hollywood.His mother said: "Maybe I could go too, it's worth trying." Her husband said: "Ok, go." Scene changed, they were sitting in a car (it's wasn't a Dodge ) and they were Al Bundy and his wife, Peggy. Car was parked and Peg was sitting in the driver's seat.She was talking with Al and she said: "Imagine me...a movie star ! Rich, famous..." She stopped and she was daydreaming. Scene changed to her imagination... She was in an expensive convertible and her hair was short. When she was done with daydreaming she continued her sentence: "...and the best part of it, imagine me...single !" That part scared Al. Scene changed, they weren't in the car, but near the car.Some smooth-looking man came to them and said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations ! You got the part ! And congratulations to the manager, after all, he is going to get half of the money." While he was talking about the manager, he was approaching Al. Al couldn't believe it was really happening...he will be rich ! When he got near Al, he continued walking and congratulated an older man that was standing behind Al. Poor old Al...he is a looser even in dreams. Dream #6 (non-LD) Another joke about Toše My sister's friend E.C. ran to the middle of the street and she said something like: "Ha ! This is Toše's goal, and all the way to Poljud." (Toše Proeski was a young and great Macedonian singer who died in a car crash in Croatia last year, and there are always some idiots making fun of that tragedy.Poljud is a football stadium in my city.) I was angry because I don't like when people are making fun of someone who died, especially if it was a good person.I was walking down the street and after some time I heard D.G. (The Saxophone player from Journal Entry #2, Dream #1) was laughing very loud to that "joke", and he said it's great.

Jan 27 Dream #1 (non-LD) Wet Pillow This doesn't exactly qualify as a dream, but it definately had to do something with a dream... I remember I was doing something in my dream that made me chew my pillow when I was half-awake, so one whole side of my pillow was wet and I had to turn it over to go back to sleep. Dream #2 (non-LD) African-American rights When I woke up from this dream, I was too sleepy to write it down, I was sure that I will remember everything, but I learned my lesson... ALWAYS WRITE DOWN YOUR DREAMS Anyway...the dream. Because of my "sleepiness" I forgot almost everything, but I remember that it had to do something with African-American rights and I was fighting for it with some people. Dream #3 (non-LD) Weird drinks and my famous father I was in a caffé bar that looked like one near my school (note to self:top.) but it was kind of different, the bartender was a joker.I was sitting on the bar table in the tap-room, I think I was more or less wasted.My friends were somewhere around the place, but I don't remember anyone or anything they did, they were just somewhere in the bar. I was chatting with the bartender and I ordered a drink called "Harp".It tasted like an aerated drink, something like Sprite.I was curious why it had that weird taste, so I started reading the bottle label.Bottle looked like a JD bottle, but the label was white with a large name on it..."Harp".(?) On the bottom of the label, it said "NON-STOUT" (?) and "80% vol. alcohol".That was weird, because I tasted exactly like a cheap soda drink. I told the bartender: "This didn't taste strong at all." He said: "Wait 'till you taste this drink which is the favourite drink of those turbo-folk guys" I thought..."Whatever, ok." He brought me the drink, it was in a glass ashtray, but I didn't care.That drink was white.I took a sip and I told him that it tastes exactly like milk. He said: "Ha ! It IS milk!" After that he was pouring some cheap lager beer in a plastic cup, he poured some over the edge of the cup. He said: "Now, try this!" I thought "Milk+Beer...." and I summed 2 and 2 and I said to him: "What, are you crazy, you want me to vomit ??" And he said: "Yeees, that's exactly what I want !" I looked at him angrily, he said: "Wait 'till I get your weak arm!" (?) He grabbed my arm, I thought I will be able to defend myself but he squeezed it hard. I noticed my father's company logo on the wall and then I noticed the bartender was wearing a dark-blue T-shirt with company's logo too. I said:"Heey, where did you get those ?" and pointed to his shirt and to the logo on the wall. He asked: "Why is that important ?" I said: "That's my father's company." The bartender looked happy, he let me go and asked me: "You're really >>my father's name<<'s son ??" He raised his voice and said this so the whole bar could hear him: "Hey guys, guess who's here.A son of a famous man.>>my father's name<<'s son !" I was amazed because I didn't know how many people knew about my father. (lol, my father isn't famous IRL ) Dream #4 (non-LD) Entering the bus from the wrong side I was waiting on a bus station for the bus.I waited and waited...but the bus wasn't coming.I saw a buss across the street and decided to run over there. I got near the bus and entered the bus, but the funny thing was that this bus had doors on the "wrong side" so I entered it from across the street. Dream #5 (non-LD) Sound engineering at grandma's I was at my grandmother's place, my father was there, and there was a drummer/newbie sound enginner who owns a garage where I like to go with my band from time to time IRL. Anyway, he plugged my bass in a guitar amplifier, but before he could play anything I turned all the knobs on the amplifier down because I heard some noise coming out from it and I said: "You don't want to play the bass loud through a guitar amplifier, you'll screw up the amp, trust me." I turned the volume knob just a little, so he can hear himself playing.I asked him: "Is this loud enogh for you ? Is it ok ?" I don't think he answered that one. My grandmother was quite pleased to see that I'm good with 'all those electric things'.The guy on the bass wanted to play, but again, there was some problem.The nut on the cable jack that was connected to my bass got loose, so I took the bass from him and tightened it.First time I "overtightened" it so it was loose again, but the second time it was ok. I noticed the jack on the bass was loose too, it didn't look like one on my bass, it looked like a Stratocaster jack, like this: Anyway, with my right hand I was screwing that jack down with a screwdriver I found on the table and with my left hand I was holding a phone and was talking with my aunt. She was talking about fixing bass guitars, I think I was explaining what was I doing at that time.My father said: "Give me my sister, I want to talk with her." She said that she will call back in a couple of minutes, and she hanged up. I said to my father: "Don't worry, she will call back any minute." He got up from the table as if he was leaving. I was crumbing a toast and eating toast crumbs sitting on the bottom-right corner of the table.I was only picking those crumbs who weren't already on the table before I started crumbing my toast.

Jan 28 NOTE: That morning, my dream memory was really messed up, so I might be wrong about putting some events in different dreams or splitting a dream into two pieces. Dream #1 (non-LD) Pulling the Fiat I was in my father's old car which he got rid of a long time ago, it was a Fiat Uno.I was in the car, helping him with getting a hook tight under the back seat.Hook was connected to a heavy cable that was going out from the back door. While I was putting the hook in the right position, my father told me: "You have to be careful with the skafander." When we hooked the car, we started pulling, but I don't remember a winch or something like that.My father told me to call my sister with my cellphone to come down.The phone wasn't working, my father said: "Damn those Chinese networks." I couldn't call her, so I sent her a text message, it was: "Come out <3 (come out for me)"....(I used those exact words because there was a song with the same words...at least I thought that while I was dreaming, it the reality, the song is just similar.) Dream #2 (non-LD) Old man's wooden gift for my father I was with my father visiting some old man in his workshop, I think it was in some kind of a village and he was a crafter, don't know what was he crafting though.My father got the "thing" we came to pick up, but the old man wanted to give my father a gift.My father was leaving and he didn't hear him, because my father's hearing wasn't so good (like IRL). The old man said: "He doesn't hear me at all..." He was holding something made out of wood, roughly cut and large. Later, my father asked me to call D.M. and to ask him something. (IRL, D.M. is ex-husband to my father's godfather's daughter and he's an asshole, we never to talk to him ) I said to my father: "Why don't you call him and then, you can give the phone to me if I have to talk with him." Dream #3 (non-LD) Glowing red honey My mother was having a conversation with two older women from my village. It was my "close" neighbour, G.B. and a "bit further" neighbour K.C. They were talking about M.B, G.B. son.I used to play with him when I was a kid. G.B. said: "He has a sore throat." The 3 of them were talking about how to cure the sore throat...they were standing in front of a house, don't remember which house. Someone said (not my mother...G.B. or K.C.): "Glowing red honey (??) is by far the most efficient way to cure the soar throat." Dream #4 (non-LD) Claire's walk to Atlanta and guitar picks This dream (dreams maybe ?) was quite messed up in my memory, so it might seem very confusing. There was a woman, in the dream, she was Clair Huxtable (Cosby Show). She was trying to seduce 2 black men who were working at the gas station. First time was a failure, but the secod time, she said something and that worked, so they went with her. They said: "You don't have a car, are you sure you want to walk all the way to Atlanta?" She said ok. It was night, and everything changed to day after that question, her appearance changed too, she was a good looking white blonde woman carrying a purse.She was walking on the road and those 2 guys were with her, but not in a physical way, they kind of "possesed" her and she was transporting their spirits with her.Because of that, she would often turn her head just to watch women, it wasn't her, it was those guys "in" her. "They" came near a store...and "they" were suddenly replaced my "me". I left my bass guitar in a case in front of that store and came back to pick it up the day after (I think)... The bass was still there, intact.Two things surprised me.I was surprised my bass wasn't stolen and I was surprised that the shop manager wasn't paying any attention at the bass at all when I picked it up, it could have been anyone.I took my bass and put it on my back... Next thing I remember, I was opening my car's (I think it was my father's old Fiat Uno) trunk and I took something out from it and gave it to a guy that was with me.It was something I borrowed from him.I also remembered that I have his acoustic guitar case in my trunk, so I returned it to him. That "guy" suddenly became someone I know, it was G.S., my band's lead singer.I was checking the pockets in his guitar case searching for guitar picks , I wanted to be sure that they were all there. I found one pick that didn't belong there, it was mine. I said to him: "S.L. (my band's guitarist) gave me that pick." (IRL, he did give me a pick)

Jan 29 Dream#1 (LD) RAWR! strikes back This dream was very similar to the "RAWR" lucid dream.(Journal Entry #14, dream#2) In the dream, I was lying in the bed and again, I noticed a very annoying sound.This time it was the sound of a working computer.You know, the cooling system sounds. I thought: "Why is the computer working in the middle of the night ? My mother and my sister really must be out of their minds." *EL MOMENTO* "It can't be possible, I must be dreaming !"...and I became lucid. I almost lost the lucidity, but I got it back.It was followed by intense vibration and bright light.Again, I heard the scary dog roar, but I wasn't afraid, I wanted to make the roar sound funny, so I altered it's pitch to a very high and silly sound. Then, I tried to get out of the bed, but I got out with the "wrong" body, so I woke up.I guess I shouldn't try to move myself next time, I should try moving the environment. Dream #2 (non-LD) Herzegovinians... I was somewhere near my grandmother's house.There were a lot of people around me.I was thinking about helping people and I decided that I should help everyone, no matter what, because we are all the same, we're human. Then,I thought: "Wait, I don't want to help Herzegovinians because they have weird faces." After some thinking, I decided that I should help them too, because everyone deserves help and we're all equal. Dream #3 (non-LD) Scooter I was driving my father on an electric scooter and I was very careful because I didn't want anyone to see me riding that. We stopped for something and I was playing with rearview mirrors (lol). Later, we were near my grandmother's house and I wanted to drive my sister in a car.I thought: "If I can ride the electric scooter, car shouldn't be a problem." Dream #4 (non-LD) Self-multiplying cash I was counting my cash and it was confusing because each time I counted, there was more and more 100kn (kuna,Croatian currency) bills. I was pretty much happy, I didn't really care how it happened. I wish that happened for real

Jan 30 Dream#1 (LD ??) Cinema complex and a white mouse I have to say that I'm not sure that this was a lucid dream, because I remember the lucidity level was low and I probably drifted into non-lucid sleep, and again I didn't write anything down, so I forgot almost everything in the morning.Damn, I always manage to talk myself out of writing it down. Once again...note to my stubborn self ALWAYS WRITE DOWN YOUR DREAMS Anyway...the dream... I was in a hall in a cinema complex, the walls and the carpet were red.I don't remember how I became lucid (maybe that didn't happen at all ??) but I remember I was saying to myself "INCREASE LUCIDITY !!!" as I was going to the projection room.The projection room looked very...messed up, seats weren't placed in order, and the floor was more or less circular and going down, to the screen.It was something like a cinema-amphitheater but very messy. I was on the left side of the room.I remember I was talking very perky to people around me (maybe because I knew that I was dreaming ??) and they were perky too. Next thing I remember, I was in a some kind of a marketplace.I think it was somewhere near the city core.I wanted to check my 'lucid powers' so I imagined a white mouse in my hand...voila ! I was holding a white mouse in the right hand. Dream #2 (non-LD) The Headless and The Bald There was a man with messy hair.I don't know why but there was another man who cut his head off, so now his head was separated from his body. I didn't see this happening but I just knew it happened.This is what I actuall saw in the dream... There was a box, maybe some kind of a fridge.There was a human head in the box, but it was alive and moving, because it was connected with some wires to it's body which was lying on the left side of the room.But the body wasn't headless...a bald man's head was stitched to it...that man looked braindead, he was just lying down and "supplying" the head with life.Someone said that the bald man's name was Jean-Baptiste.I think it was the "guy" who stiched everything up. The man who cut that man's head was there too.He took the head out of the box, he was talking to it and shaking it, I think they were arguing about something.

Jan 31 Dream #1 (non-LD) Waiting for my turn to take a sip from the jug I was sitting on a long table. probably in some restaurant or something similar.My classmate R.P. was sitting on my left, and A.B.(F.R.'s girlfriend, F.R. ->Dream Journal #11, Dream#3) was sitting on my right side. She said something to me and I sad that my >>something<< was dry.The waiter heard that and he brought a jug of water to the table.I thought that was nice, because he heard that my >>something<< was dry, so he tried to help.I also came to a conclusion that if the waiter knew that, he was probably listening to all of the conversations going on. A.B. was the first to take a sip from the jug, then R.P. took a sip, then it was finally my turn.I didn't want to put my lips on the same place where they put it, I found an intact spot and I drank all the water that was left in the jug.
