4.27.15 I work night shifts now, and my recall is shot to hell. Not easy to dream or recall if you sleep 2.5 hr naps, once or twice a day. But today I managed a 6.5 hr nap from 1pm - 7:30 pm, and I had dreams. In fact, was dreaming the whole time. DR The theme of the nap was... work. Working the whole nap. Wasn't bad, kinda rehersing the plan for tonight. Who is gonna do what and if we manage to do it all timewise. DR I'm late for work and when I grab my phone to call that I'm coming in right now, the phone has all red text saying the batteries are very low, and can't retrieve the number I need to call. So I find a charger and plug it in. Suddenly there are people from work there telling me it's ok to be late once in a while, but I need to call to let them know I'm coming. The phone looked like the one I have now. DR I'm standing next to OpheliaBlue and we are talking about some cooking gadgets. She was smiling, all happy and content. I toot and I'm like oh crap she is so close, she will know. DR Somebody gave me a $100 bill and I was telling Ophelia I'm giving it her for something that she did for me in the recent past.

4.15.15 nap at 3pm - 10:45 pm after 13 hr shift Someone I know got swept away. I go looking for him by lettming myself be swept away by flood as well. I end up in some tiny town, or the outskirts. I find the person, I think it's my mom. I take the cell phone and we call my dad, telling him I'm ok and I found her. I'm looking at street signs and I read him the street names of that intersection. He is happy and babbling about, and I stop him saying that he should write this down before my phone dies. I get a map, trying to figure out where we are, because all we have is street names. I see a map of eastern US, maybe Seattle area. Coastline with lots of islands and bays. I walk into some tiny store and a shopkeeper offers us some cookies. Then I learn the names of St. Ives and St. Vincent.
4.13.15 Last night, bed 9pm. Had the night off. Up at 8:15, BT sofa 8:22 to WILD. DR 2:03 I'm standing in some town. Maybe 2 blocks away, I see some water rising over some tall wall. The wall is maybe 7 stories high, and water is coming over it in waves, violently. I'm not scared. Now I ahve water at my feet. There is a boat on a nearby canal. We get on it, but when I learn it's going not where I want it to go, I jump off as they are untying it. Farly good, adventurous feeling from the dream. Danger, but I know I'll be safe. WILDing at 8:22 Didn't get a single thing. Not a falling asleep sensation, or relaxing, or HH... nothing. DR They remodeled our workplace. Now the batroom stall doors are all 2 wings, dark, polished wood with golden door knobs. I walk into the last stall. It's really large. Potty is right next to the wall, no gap. I find it strange, but use it anyway. A guy walks in, and I'm thinking, this is maybe part of the remodel, and doors have no locks. But now there is a low wall between us, so I can see him, but he can see only my head. I decide to go and exlpore the building. There are some old looking doors. I open one and peek inside. It's kinda dark inside, like curtains are drawn. But I can still see clearly. It's a storage room full of things. I'm thinking we can look for some things there if we need anything. I expect something supernatural to happen, but it doesn't happen. I open the other door and room is same darkish, with filtered brown light. Its dusty looking. Again I expect something supernatural, but it doesn't happen.
4.9.15 Last night bed 11pm - 7am WBTB 7am - 7:42am Got up to potty at 8:46 Got up at 9:09 to eat a slice of bread Woke up at 11:48, about 30 min after the main event. So this was something new. So I settle on my sofa with pillows high in almost sitting position as usually, and both cats rush to take their spots on me, as usually. I welcome their presence, since I know I can WILD even with them stirring on me. I pull the lem of my robe that is on top of my pillows over my eyes to make it dark. Nothing unusual about all that. But then, literally just 5-10 min after I close my eyes. I feel the strongest sensation in my face mostly, and also in my head. Similar to sensation I feel when I'm falling asleep. I call it "dipping down, or going down". It feels to me as I'm going deeper, one level after another, into me, into sleep. It's also similar to sensation in my head just as I'm entering lucid state. So I'm not asleep yet, but my face and head are saying that I'm lucid. Now I remembered I should have tried rolling or motionless RCs. Damned. Something was going on. And this was going on till I got up first time to potty, continued after and was still happening when I got up second time to eat. At some point I manage to fall asleep and I'm instantly lucid. I recognize I'm in my childhood bedroom. Split second urge to fly out the window but making a consious decision to exit via door. The apartment door is halfway opened, but it closes as I reach for it. At first I think it's mom or dad coming home and I say "Hi...". But when the door closes, I sense something not good and as I'm trying to open it, it puts up a fight and it's just like in my non-lucids, when doors are being held shut by something. I feel like I made this happen, coz I got a quick "bad feeling" just before it started. To my biggest surprise I wake up, still with lucid sensations all over my face and head. I fall asleep and I'm pretty sure I'm lucid again. I'm showing some kids how I can fly, or at least I tell them, that I could fly, but not always. And sure enough, I can't fly. I'm making swimming motions upwards and I'm slowly ascending. I'm holding hand with a child, and he is holding another ones hand, and there is about 5-6 of us, and I'm pulling us all upwards. It's hard, so I'm pulling myself along by grabbing things on some buuildings that look like towers made of stacked books. I'm affraid they will start falling over, but they are not. Next dream: I'm in some school. It's huge. Connected via some doors and corridors with another school next to it. I somehow enter that other school, and when I'm coming back, I think I'm not returning to the same reality I had left from. But I can't be bothered trying again and looking for the door to my correct reality. I'm thinking whatever, this one may be fine as well.
4.6.15 Last night fell asleep on the sofa, moved to bed at midnight. Slept till 6am, WBTB till 6:30. Got up at 10, no WILD, back to sleep sometimes later. Another nap I think later. Losing track of time. This dream recalled hours after waking up. I'm a teacher. Talking at home to my old english or biology teacher, telling her my methods. I apparently make flash cards with info that I hold up so kids can read them while I say the info on them as well. I have 2 more methods for different classes.
3.30.15 Last night bed 10:30pm - 5am WBTB 5am - 5:40 Woke up at 8:46 Didn't have a good time WILDing with other things being on my mind. I'm telling someone I'm never gonna be lucid, and in that moment I get lucid, but lose it, I think. Next thing I remember I'm trowing cartoon holes on the ground from my pocket. One is not dark enough, another is not deep, and something else. But I ignore that and jump into every one of them. I get stuck in one, another one is solid, and I think I move on to other things. I remembered this NL later afternoon, while pouring me a glass of dark beer: I walk into an irish pub. It's just a smallish, old type willage room. Rectangular, white washed walls, benches on 2 long sides and a bar desk on the short one. I came there to pick something up, or do something. While I'm at it, I figure it wont' hurt to get a glass of dark beer. She asks "dark, you sure"? Tasted very good, realistic, almost same as the WL beer I had later.

3.29.15 Last night bed 9pmish - 3:30am Woke up at 11pm with this: I'm standing on my mom's kitchen balcony. Somebody is showing me a person standing on a flood barrier that's to the right, about 60 meters from the house. It's a man holding some small device that I can't see but I think it looks like a walkie-talkie. Someone tells me "do you see the antenna?" And yes, I do see a 7 inch black plastic antena sticking out of the device. I understand, that they are controlling us with that. As I look to the left on the barrier, I suddenly see lots of people sitting there on benches, all with devices. I can tell it's something sinister and I don't like it. I grab my air rifle and head out to the barrier. Small kid walks up to me trying to stop me and I push him away. His dad comes rushing and he tries to hit me, but other "normal" people there stop him. I put my fists up and invite him to figth me. He is a huge guy, and I wanna kick his ass so bad. Now we are having a dinner party and there is a cloth hanging on the wall and on the balcony. I suggested earlier to put up aluminum foil to shield us from the controlling waves, but I was told that would not work.
3.26.15 Midnight shift last night. Got only about 3 hrs of sleep before that. So at my second break at 5 am, I was dosing off sitting on a chair in break room. Was getting all kinds of HH. If my head falling down wouldn't wake me up every time, I would have WILDed. HH: I'm looking at few cartoonish cars head on. One is pink, looks like FIAT or Cooper or something like that from Cars movie. Very cute. I think it was smiling at me.
3.23.15 Nap from 3 to 6:30 Tons of dreams, feels like dreaming the whole time. 1. I was pullng scabs or whatever from skin without looking, when I pull something and it's like 3 inches long. I see a bloody root of a plant in my hand. I look at the other end and it's like a clover leaf. I find moss and other plants on my body. (from Bridge to Terabithia I watched the other day, where the dog ripped a chunk of moss from the troll's body). 2. I'm in a one story hotel room that sits 5 feet from the take-off runway. I watch all kinds of diff planes take off from left to right and I'm telling someone what a cool hotel. It's winter, I walk outside and watch from there. Some kid starts to play on the runway and I tell him he better not, coz you know, the airplanes. 3. There is a train going by the airfield and one wagon has opened side and bunch of kids are sitting there like on a disney ride "soaring over california". Someone shots a sotgun into them and one kid slides out all like wtf? 4. Coworker A. is banging on some door handle to make it work. It's pretty consistent with his regular behaviour. 5. I'm at work which is a swimming pool, and I'm cutting some beef to cook it up, coz hungry. 6. I'm telling someone about my post I made today "sensations in head on verge of a WILD". And I demonstate my sensations by rolling on the bed and making sound effects.
3.23.15 Last night fel asleep on sofa at 8:30, moved to bed. WBTB 6:05-6:35. Woke up from lucids at 8:38 I was very excited for april ToTMs. Tasks have not been voted on yet, but I picked some from the suggestions as my lucid goals. I really want to: - take a shower - I practiced this while falling asleep, telling myself I have only one t-shirt on and shorts, no underwear, because too many layers trip me up. - get blown away by wind - also practiced as I'm blown up to the orbit, maybe to ISS - make it rain inside of a room So as I'm WILDing, my cats leave me alone for at least 20 min. Then they start walking on me and sleeping, one by one. I sigh a sigh of relief, since I'm so used to WILDing with them, it's like a good luck charm. So when my boy seddles in and falls asleep on me, I keep listening to him purr, while I'm getting more and more relaxed. I kinds wish though he fell asleep already, stopped fidgeting and purring so loud, haha. * I see myself in a bed in a dormitory style large room. I think there is more beds, but I'm alone, except one other person I'm talking to. It maybe my cat or my mind, because my thoghts from falling asleep continue here. I can't wait to be lucid. I finally think I am and I stand up and walk away. I see my cat moved and I feel my "real" muscles moved, so I know I'm not asleep yet and return to bed to do it again. LOL. Only I was asleep and my dream body walked away and I got tricked that it was the physical one. : D So I'm 'trying to get relaxed again" haha, I notice my left leg is bent and I know I should make it straigt. This is all already in a dream, only I'm thinking it's not. I try to "levitate" and "up", and make my dream left arm move up to confirm that I'm asleep, but nothing happens. Danged, this is first time it happened. Ok, so I know a sure way to a lucid, haha. I push my head backwards and I feel like I'm pushing too hard (only I'm not, coz already asleep, hahaah). But I do transition finally and realize I'm dreaming. I feel like I did bunch of stuff, like 1-2 TOTMs by the time I end up in my mom's hallway and I remember what to do next. I want to make it rain inside. So I look up and... Oh yeah, this is what I did before: I flew up to the lamp in mom's hallway and wrote GAB in the dust on the lamp. I wanted to check in the morning. Too bad I live thousands of miles from my mom's place. Make it rain in the room. Ok, so I look up and say "rain". I start hearing some sounds from the outside. The hallway has no windows to the outside, because is surrounded by other rooms. So I listen and it sounds like raindrops are starting to fall on windows and the roof. I imagine a window and rain flowing down on it, just like I saw in the movie "castaway" last night (when at the end they were both sitting in a car outside of her house). Rain hitting the roof is now loud. I'm thinking it's not gonna rain inside, when I feel a wet drop on my right hand. I look at it and I'm thinking maybe I just spit on it as I was talking. But there is another one, and another one. It start to really pour now, it's raining cats and dogs, haha. There are some opening higher on the wall, and suddenly water comes gushing from there. I'm up to my ankles now. I'm thinking I better get out before the whole room gets filled. I tried to get myself blown by the wind, but I didn't work, and I didn't stay to try longer. I think I totally forgot about the shower TOTM, unless that happened in the first part which I don't remember at all. Dreaming ended by me getting into some underground rooms that belonged to some resistance. I was the leader ofc. I tried to get out of there. Opened a door but it was a closet, tried again, and same closet. Somehow I got out and I'm on the street, trying to put some paper or plastic sheets on my feet as I didn't have any shoes. I see a police car (asian police car, white with blue and red stripe, from the movie Bourne legacy I watched that day). And I'm like hell, now they got me. But they were there for something else. But now I'm sure they noticed me and they are coming to me next.
3.20.15 Last night bed 9pm - 3:35am DR Lots of us DVers? are going on a plane ride. Plane is huge and ultra modern. Seats like in a theater, lots of white colors. I get off to change my clothes and go potty. Going by the cockpit noticing the door is closed and secured, no way to open it for unauthorized person. Just remembered this one: Walking on a dirt path, maybe 7 feet wide. Two girls just a step ahead of me. One of them is announcing snakes. But too late, when we are already on top of them. I tell them to look more ahead, not under the feet, so we can see them from distance, ffs. I look and I see some in a distance, so I know it can be done. All snakes we come up on are already dead. Clearly. Either head crushed, all dried up, or other lear sign of being dead for a while. But they were all different kinds and I see some cool details. Remembered this one on my way to work: We are in a building and feeling a lots of small tremors. Then there is a 6.8 in San Diego. I see it written on some sign.

3.19.15 Last night bed 8:30pm - 3:35am Had dreams all night. But only remember details of those that I recalled immediatelly when I woke up at 11:30 to go potty. The ones I remembered having in the morning, I guess because alarm woke me instead of waking naturally, I only remember having. DR at 11:30 We are listening to radio news saying big change in weather is coming. I walk outside, look up at dark skies and sure enough, there is a huge and very colorful and defined halo around the moon. I show it to someone else. Someone is asking me about something, and he thinks I did it. I tell him, "no, God turned it off".
3.16.15 Last night bed 9pm - 5:04am WBTB till 5:31am, took 900mgs of alpha GPC at 5:07 Sofa 5:31 till 7 - potty break, because my cat got on me at least 2x, but by now, I already felt my head in "lucid mode", but differently and less intense than last few times when I didn't take anything then back and woke up at 8:29 after after long chain of lucids During WBTB I read the forum and read the TOTM for March post. teleport somewhere through mirror enter a house and describe eat some truth potion I made a desicion to enter houses, and I sad thanks to my subC for me not being scared of houses anymore, and for not being scared to walk instead of flying everywhere. Ok, so I had a long chain of LDs and FAs that turned into LDs, but I didn't get up right afterwards, but slept for maybe 30 more minutes. So this will not be in correct order, and I forgot some details. 45 min long Chain of LDs First I remember walking through a street fair. Wendors selling all kinds of stuff. I remember the truths TOTM and I walk up to one lady and ask "one truth potion please". She hands me a pill. It's that plastic kind that you can pull apart and powder is inside. (I just took 3 of those before nap). I take it, pull it apart and pour orangish power into my mouth. It's not coming easy, some parts are not wanting to come out, but I squeeze and roll the plastic, till it does. I do the same with second part. I think I forget about asking for the "truth" now and leave. It ends here. I realize I'm still dreaming, get up and walk on the same street. Now I'm looking for a house to enter. Many houses on the left side of this busy street. They are tall and old looking, like in Prague. Shops on the bottom and apartments on the top. I'm looking for a police station I saw previously here, I think it would be fun to describe that. But I don't see it, I think it was one street over. It ends here. I wake up and I'm tellin Ophelia and someone else while laughing, that I did these TOTMs and I better write them down. Unless I'm still dreaming. So as a joke I count my fingers and sure enough, I'm still dreaming. I think I should still write down my dreams, but I decide to count them instead. I counted 3-4 at this point. I'm wondering if I ever wake up for real. So I say bye and walk off. I'm walking on the sidewalk in the same area, but now in diff dirrection. There are apartment building on my right, but I remember it has to be a house. There is a house on next street that used to belong to somebody, but now it belongs to Dreamviews. I want to go there and describe. I see that street ahead of me and DV house and one next door have their front doors wide open. I laugh and enter the DV house. First room is small. It has 3 beds with light green bedsheets. Walls are also greenish or bluish. I realize it's some kind of a sleep-over house. Safe house. Next room also has 3 beds and at this point I start to recite items I see out loud, soo I remember them later. There is a mirror on the right wall in the next room, which is a bathroom. I hop up on the counter and try to go through it. Then I decide to go through the one right next to it, coz it's a bit bigger. I imagine this beautiful place I want to teleport to (which now I forgot). I teleport to a place where I'm hanging in mid-air. The air is yellowish and I'm thinking it's another planet. I see huge giants, size of empire state building in the distance. They are black monsters. I weave my way through them and end up in a library like building. It's full of humans. There is some kind of a problem and I feel like I should fly around here rather than walk. I enter another large room. I forget after this. Last one, I felt like I did enough of normal suff, so I asked my boss if he wants to do it. He did, so we did. Spoiler for 18+: I ask: do you wanna suck or f..k? He laughed and laid back and undid his pants. I pulled out his equipment and went down on him. I was wondering if I'm doing it righ only with mouth, or should I add some hands. Then i did. But I heard no complaints. Bits an pieces: I feel like there was about 7 distinct LDs. Between each of them I just realized I'm still dreaming. Got up and walked away. At one point I figured I should roll out again, since it's so much fun. I'm sure I'm still awake and hitting the floor will hurt. I roll out, and first time out of maybe 20 times, I actually hit the ground. Doesn't hurt, but definitelly made contact. I laugh that I'm dreaming. I try to keep rolling or get up, but can't do either. When walking through many houses, I went through doors by opening them with handles, rather than phasing or getting out through windows and flying away. This all after making consious decision to do that. I went through at least 2 more mirrors in the earlier LDs, but don't remember where I ended up. Most of them were bright. One started out dark after teleporting, so I thought I'll just stay here and stabilize till I see. Towards the end I remembered how much fun it was to sing, so I started to belt out a tune, but couldn't remember any that I wanted to sing. So I'm not sure what I was singing, but it was loud and so much fun.
3.16.15 Last night bed 9pm - 5:04am for WBTB Israeli suq I'm walking through a bazaar in Israel. It's covered, like the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, but not as nice or large. It has halls with different items. I find one with gifts, one with food or meat, and when I get to one with animals, I quickly turn back to find something else. Everything has signs on a cardboard paper in hebrew or english and also arabic scribbled on it. I can tell arabic is secondary language here. I realize it's not easy to orient ourself there. I see a sign that has a map of all the halls with merchandise. Most of the merchants there are old men and they are looking at me as I don't belong. Sure, white and girl, I do feel bit uneasy.
3.14.15 Last night bed at 9 pm - 3:40 am Throwing chairs My new roomate says: "I got some new furniture, clother, and snakes so I can start snakecharming". Me: WUT? You have them here now? So he shows them to me. He has 2 snakes on his arm. I'm telling him no way, and not to get any closer. But the idiot is inching forward. I pick up a chair and with legs towards him, I hold it up. He keeps advancing, so I throw it at him. He is asking, if I have seen any more dorcile snakes. I look closer. One is like a reddish baby corn snake the other one blackish, also a baby. They are non-poisonous and very calm. I agree, they are nice, but... I see them just fine from here. He keeps coming closer, and I keep picking up chairs and throwing them at him. Now one snake bites him, and it looks like a sting would a bee would make, with the stinger still attached. Exactly like in the documentary I watched yesterday. Laundry I spilled some water in laundry basket. Now some white things have red on them, and some red things are bleached. I'm pulling it all out trying to clean up the mess. Someone, a former classmate z. is asking me if I spilled red wine while I'm trying to rinse them out.
