False Awakening (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

went to sleep with earbuds in with 6 hour delayed lucidremix.mp3 but I woke before it went off, remembered following dream.
I am lying in bed, False awakening. I have dreamed that I heard the mp3 and it made me lucid and I have woken up (I am not lucid) My girlfriend is there and she is afraid.


Attempted WILD in nap (Non-lucid)

Trying to WILD in the afternoon... surfing the border for a while but then begin to dream non-lucidly
In an apartment with girlfriend in dream. I fiddle with the controls of an audio hi-fi but it is not working properly. I try to talk to my GF I think I am close to becoming lucid, but sleep paralysis (more accurately - some awareness leaking in to my dream of REM atonia) gets me so I am struggling to speak (I hate it when that happens) so I wake up fully.
Should have tried to DEILD right then but maybe next time...

Just a couple of Non-Lucids (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Dreamed of being at a Dharma study group I go to. Venue is different (Dreamsign) also some students are different. Teacher was same. My girlfriend was there (she goes in Waking Life). She was talking about some work some builders had been doing (from previous dream (Dreamsign)).
An old lady student challenged My GF saying that it is meaningless what My GF is saying. My GF gets defensive and comes up with some defense that is pretty lame but a good effort - she is upset and I get the impression that people want me to take her side - but the old lady is right and she made some good points in the argument. I talk Dharma with the old lady for a bit. She is very sincere and determined, she challenged my GF out of compassion it is clear but she doesn't say so.
I go into another room and notice that my hair (which is quite long) is very wet and dripping with water (Dreamsign). I try to dry and tidy it but I have no towel - I do find a mirror, nothing odd about the reflection but I am concentrating on my hair. I do something else and my dream changes....

...Sometime later I am eating outside in some kind of large park-like area (Dreamsign). I am sharing food with a companion. There is a group of (other homeless people (Dreamsign)) some distance away I am looking at them accross a lawn. They seem to be inviting/challenging us to join them but I don't want to. My companion communicates with them and there is some interaction between all of us - I get drawn in to some interaction, people are curious about me and asking questions. I give short answers and try to make it clear I am being solitary. Some of them are more challenging than others but I manage to be friendly and they seem to get the idea I am ok but just want to be left alone.
A tall smiley loud Irishman who looks a bit like Johnny-Jack from the last series of Sapphire and Steel(TV) but genuinely charismatic and open - he is their leader - tries to draw me into thier group quite aggressively but also being friendly. He is testing me - asking me to do some makework/meaningless/menial task for him (something to do with pulling up grass?(wtf?)). I say no, he says why?(pushing). I look at him straight in the eye and put on a strong Irish accent and say 'Because I am not fecking Irish!'
He gets the idea and we have a fight. No-one is hurt and there is much amusing mutual piss-taking.
It seems we are more of a group now that we have established where we are with each other. We all share food. I am still being solitary but it is accepted now there is mutual respect.
I wake up.

Short DILD with some missed dreamsigns (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Was sharing a room with a one-armed man (left arm missing) like the guy from Twin Peaks(TV). For some reason I felt oppressed by him, but then he was prety weird. Anyway I was being polite. I remember that in a previous dream that led to this one I was involved in some major building construction/demolition (common in my dreams - a dreamsign but I missed it this time)
I took some laundry to the laundrette and put it in the washer. My mother was there advising me about soap powder (another dreamsign I missed - she has been dead for years).
While leaving the launderette I was walking very fast and I had to step aside to avoid a young woman coming the other way, I think this made me more aware. As I was walking down the street I started to pay attention to my footsteps - they were a bit lighter and longer than usual (another of my dreamsigns) - I checked them more closely and decided they were pretty normal and I was not dreaming but then I decided to try to extend them in a floaty way and it then became obvious that I was dreaming. I flew up into the air to prove it.
I then proceeded to explore the dream world but I was not careful to increase lucidity and stabilise the dream, and after a short dream walk through some kind of festival I lost it and woke up.
