02-10-18 Recall is coming up a bit, but I still should start working with write or recording key words. This was a WILD chained by 2 DEILDs and it shows how time distortion can take place. When I stopped I told my wife I had some amazing lucids for the last hour. She corrected me and said I was only out for about 25 minutes. The sweetest high point was I levitated laying on my back like in a recliner and lifted up past the power lines and into clouds. I then cruised forward at a pace but kind of casual and just enjoyed floating through the wisps of cloud which were amazing to look at. I also had a portion where I seemed to be recovering memories from early childhood. I felt as though the block I was exploring was representative of some place I had know as a young kid. In one part I floated up to the top of a church and climbed in to an attic area. I then looked down into the church where someone was playing an organ. In another part I saw two DCs running as if in play and a park was on one side of the road. Then a cousin of mine called me over to a picnic. We walked to a house and while there I could hear helicopters and one landed in the back yard. Everyone wanted to leave because they were afraid. Then we were in a car and I was the driver. There were way to many people in the car and my shows were gone. I dropped them off in a parking lot and summoned shoes. I had a whole pile and examine them, liking the 3rd pair and keeping those. I lost those latter though. In the very first part I went around and messed with DCs by using TK to make them do silly stuff like spill their drink on there head.
The recall needs much work to get me back to functional LDing at my normal level. I am just getting tired of knowing I had two or three amazing LDs and by noon not being able to recall anything much. This was a good first step. I am writing this 10 hours after the WILD and got lots of it, but the sequence is mixed and I know sections just disappeared. This was maybe me 5th day of trying to get recall back, but only using auto suggestion and focus. I need to go old school and DJ for awhile, plus use a key word recall with a voice recorder.

02-03-18 I seriously need to work on recall. I should keep a voice recorder again and journal. Last night I had wonderful deep meaningful lucids in about 4 sessions spanning perhaps a half hour or more. During the dreams I was sure I would remember the details. I clearly remember having a very long awesome LD broke by 3 partial awakenings. Guess what? I remember almost no details. Use it or loose it! That is the deal with recall. I find it so funny that I have so damn many LDs and I am to freaking lazy to work on my recall. I may ask what good are all those LDs if I do not record or remember them, however I know I enjoy the hell out of my nights sleeping, I just don't retain the memories. If I put effort into it for a few weeks it would fix the problem. End of rant. The high point of what I do remember is talking with a small group of astral beings and two of them were actually columns of colored fire. It did not seem odd at all to me at the time that a couple of my companions were columns of energy/fire. I do remember they were not the same color as each other. What a shame to have forgot such deep weird stuff.

09-04-17 Reality checked by trying to move objects with my mind. Became lucid when I could in fact do it. Went on an adventure. At some point while flying through tree branches a large crow lands on my fore arm. I ask it if it is my Father. I sense the spirit of my departed father in the crow. That was his totem in real life. That is what he intended to inhabit until his wife passes, so they can be the same age next time. It communicates with me on some telepathic level. Another bird has landed on my other arm. It looks unlike any real bird. It looks much like a small vulture, but has the iridescent coloring and feathers of a pigeon. I sense I know this being, but can not tell from where/when.

Over the last half of the contest I have had a terrible dry spell compared to normal.

I succeeded in two WILDs but could not develop them far enough to have story lines. In the first one I simply flew through a void of pastel colors. In the second I summoned images in a shimmering background and changed things such as placing a unicorn horn on a dog's head. I also had a DILD but it did not go far. I had lost a tooth. I was surprised and reached up to check and now was missing many teeth. How did this happen? Inner voice "head butted in Jiu-jitsu." That does not make sense, we are all on the same team, no one would do that. I wonder if this is a dream. Stop and RC. Lets look for distortions in the visual field. I look around and have an image of looking in my mouth and seeing the busted teeth. RC complete! I clearly can not actually look inside my own mouth without a mirror. Ok, stop and stabilize. I look in a mirror and grow my teeth back. I freaking wake up, so it was not successful as a stabilization method. Not really doing enough to promote lucidity and recall.

I am realizing that with recall, it is sort of 'use it or loose it.' I am listening to my taped words from the morning I had this one, and only now am recalling the dream. I do not journal my many lucids most the time, and honestly I need to. How many great adventures will I never remember because I did not journal them? This lucid was very long, very detailed and had interactions with DCs and on awakening I could only remember wisps. Well, here it goes, straight from the voice recording.

I had been standing in a crowd when someone approached me and asked if I was dating a women he indicated in the crowd. I vaguely recognized the person indicated and replied that I was not dating that women. He said that someone had lied to him. Around this point I become lucid spontaneously. I am soon hanging out with 3 entities. There are two girls and a man. I think it was my dream guide and two others, but in this case I am not sure like I am sometimes. She often has different faces, but often sticks to a certain look. I assumed it was her. ---recall gap--- I am at the train depot and decide to have fun with physical powers. I run with super speed and turn the ground slick and do power slides across the surface like an ice rink, and other things including dancing and martial arts rolls. The male comes up to me and says we are going to take the ladies some where, and it is time to go. We go to a house where there is a man working on something mechanical. A small crowd is pushing in around him to watch. I am part of the crowd suddenly and try to back away as it is uncomfortably crowded. I see that there is oil all over my boots, so I look around for a rag. --- recall gap--- All four of us go into a building through the back door. We are in what appears to be a shop. We here a car pull up behind the building and we decide we should sneak out the front door. We quietly leave the building ---recall gap--- We are now going into a field where there is a food truck and small crowd. A man tells me about something that just happened to a guy in the crowd. ---recall gap--- I am alone now and wandering around when I come upon my old grade school. I go inside and there is an assembly. I am suddenly lay down on a table watching the assembly. I am shushed by my 4th grade teacher. She comes up and asks me questions about things like, "what ever happened to so and so." I recognize the person she is talking about, but do not have answers for her questions.
I leave the grade school and finally remember the Dream Views competition. I take off flying. I start ascending and descending while I flew trying to decide what would make it super flight. I summoned sky scrapers, and took of like superman and went from the bottom to the top of a tall building in a fraction of a second. I landed on the top of the building and looked around. It looks like Las Vegas. I decide to control the weather and gather all the clouds in front of me forming a massive storm. I played with making it rain and then pour rain and finally froze the rain so it was now a terrible sleet storm. ---recall gap--- I walk into a building and it is a large store with fish tanks. I know suddenly that this is my father's lab, but he has died and his wife is trying to run the place. I hear an overhead voice that sounds recorded and it is saying sorry for anyone who lost their such and such organism and they will be replacing them. I feel a little discomfort with the subject of dad's wife and decide to leave. I go walking through the building and look at random odd things displayed there. By the exit is a largish idol in kind of a Polynesian style. I had a weird idea and summoned 3 more idols. I wanted to make them animated and under my control. I was able at first to get them talking. I floated them around (mass TK) and imagined them becoming animated and singing. It worked. They all came to life like a Disney movie and as I floated them in front of me they break out in song. It was so cool and very Disney.
I left through that exit and am outside the building ---recall gap--- I am walking in a vivid nature scene of flowering meadow. I come to a house with a nice deck which I go out on and see a road and a fenced with a park beyond it. There are now people around me and we are talking. My car keys make noise and someone notices and says I must have a Mazda such and such. I said no I have a Dodge Challenger, and that I though it was a very masculine sexy car. Someone starts talking about how time passes there. He said people will come months apart and expect things to have changed. However, things were always the same and no time had passed. He goes on that that heard of deer (now there is one out there) is sometime here sometimes there (points) but it is more or less always the same.
Someone comes walking up to me. It is the girl from before (DG?) and she wraps her self around me and sensually licks my face (one big long lick, from lips to eye brows) I do think the dream went on but that is last thing I recall.
