Before i begin to post dream, i would like to mention that i took a nap for about 2 hours and had a small cup of coffee within 30 minutes of laying down. I also want to mention that i listened to a loop of this guided dream meditation on my headphones which to me works all the time i listen to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTGd2TGsBVM . Dream begins with me standing in a narrow hallway of what seems to be an apartment. I'm standing next to one of those washer/dryer combo that sits on top of each other. I start to push the combo down the hallway to what i presume is another location in the apartment. I hear the dryer part of it running and feel the humming in my hands. When i go to unplug it, i realize the plug is dangling. I say to myself excitingly "its not plugged in, i must be dreaming" and i felt instant lucidity. I was excited because i finally remembered a dream sign that i constantly have but yet always forget to use to become lucid. This time around becoming lucid was so vivid, i can only explain it as one of those movies where people are watching a grainy tv screen and somehow are able to walk into the scene playing on that tv and everything is sharp and so is the feeling of actually being in that scene. So now i'm standing behind this combo and i'm curious as to where i was pushing it too. I continue pushing it but as i get further down the hall the combo starts to change. Its still a washer/dryer combo but the width of it starts to shrink. Now its about a foot wide and looks funny being its a washer/dryer combo. I start to hear male voices at the end of the hallway where there is an open door and a lit room. I decide to walk there but instead i float there and rather quickly at that. I'm in the room and see 1 guy working on something that he calls his invention and another guy just watching him. When i tried to see what he was inventing, i felt everything around me getting back to that haziness. I start to panic and remembered the "rubbing of the hands to stabilize" trick. I rubbed my palms together and no change so i rubbed them together faster and my palms went through each other. Still no change. I tried to fly since i knew it was going to end but felt i couldn't get past the ceiling and a thought flashed across my mind saying, "error, no destination assigned". I then woke up and wrote dream down and wondered if i had thought of a place i knew, if this LD would have continued.

Dream starts at a heavy metal concert, as the dream continues i'm at the front of the crowd. I'm lifted up by someone on stage and i prepare to get thrown off to crowd surf. With my back to the crowd, I then feel myself being tossed and during the free fall of that toss I have plenty of time to think that I should be feeling a bunch of hands catching me and moving me around. I feel nothing and continue to free fall. Since i'm falling in the direction of my back, the only thing i can see is a grey tunnel and in the middle of that tunnel is the concert dream getting smaller and smaller. Thats when i realize that im dreaming. I try to stay calm to see where this free fall would take me but since i'm falling backwards i felt like i had to prepare myself for an impact. I tuck my arms and legs in, like a fetus position and was so excited, i noticed i had my mouth open and i thought to close it so i dont bite my tongue off and thats when the LD ended.

I wake up and think about the whole dream and just write some key things for me to remember in my journal. I look at the cable box and see that 4-5 minutes passed by while i'm laying there in the dark and i start to doze off.

Dream #2 starts with me seeing someone in my bedroom looking out the window. The room is dark and is from my current home. I recognize the clothes that hes wearing from somewhere but i still cant see his face. He finally steps away from the window and walks towards me standing at the doorway. "Whats up?" he says as he passes and then i realize that hes the owner of the barber shop that i go to. I seen him a couple of days ago at a Quick Check wearing the same clothes. I said, "hey, i seen you in Quick Check the other day" and he replied , "oh yeah, i was getting a haircut". I remember mumbling to myself, "haircut, in a gas station?" and just like that i knew i was lucid. As i followed him through the hallway i realized the hallway led to the living room that looked like the one in the apartment where i used to live. There were 3 Christmas trees and presents all over the place. There were people standing around talking but i could not make out what they were saying. There was an old style tv that looked exactly like my wifes grandmother had before she passed away. There was nothing playing on it though. There was a sofa, love seat and a recliner. I went to touch the tv and the material of the cabinet transformed from wood to another material. I then went to touch the recliner cushion and to my surprise it actually felt and reacted like a cushion should. I went to touch it again to see what would happen when i noticed a buddy of mine from work standing there watching me, smiling. As i went to say something to him, i hear the sound of a creaking door and wake up to real life of my son checking to see if i was up to start getting ready for work.

Dream starts of me standing on a sidewalk of unknown location. For some reason instant lucidity happens. I cant make out street names or store front names but i notice a woman with black long hair staring at me. She seemed friendly to me since she had a grin and i felt the rushing need to blurt out to her, "whats your name?" and to my surprise she answered back, "brenda". I then awoke and quickly wrote her name down. Dream guide or just a fluke?
