A truck pulled up outside of my house with two men in it. They both looked rough and redneck'ish. They said they were sent to cut my grass and I said "By who?"

"you're mother" they answered (sounds like something she would do)
1
I went inside to call her and suddenly they were on my porch. I open the door and one of the guys reaches in and grabs an xbox 360 that a friend had just dropped off and tries to walk out with it. I follow him and say "hey! what are you doing! I can call the police, ya know?"

he acts like he's having a migraine and starts freaking out. Says he's going to smash my head in with a brick and suddenly he's got a pitch fork. i think he was a marine that is having PSTD or something. I managed to push the pitch fork aside and kick him hard enough to put him down. Then his friend pulled out a gun and I woke up.

i'm at my old car lot packing up stuff. there's still pictures and stuff. We're taking them down. Suddenly I feel the presence of a ghost and it starts throwing those pictures off the wall at my brother. I said a prayer to get rid of it and woke up.

a family was at some type of weird candy carnival, (at some points they looked like normal people and other points they looked like the Simpsons) basically walking through this apartment building tasting different type of candies when they came upon this backroom with a window. Someone stopped them from eating the last of the candy suggesting it was poisoned somehow. They jump out the window and the whole place explodes, apparently someone wanted to kill as many people as they could inside.

4.
Was planning some vacation and packing my bags. Mom was bragging about how she and Nana had just taken my neice of a vacation by themselves and we should go too this time to see what it's like. Somehow I'll very upset by all this --I think it's because I got left out of the 1st trip... I've got this weird thing about being left out of stuff. Really boils my blood.

Something about a little brother who couldn't have been older than 12 calling his 16 year old adopted sister "babe" and she started picking on him for it.

NOTES:
-My recall has become a heck of a lot better just in the last week. If you saw my dream journal just a few days before I found this website, it's basically just one or two dreams a night at the most, now I'm suddenly recalling 4 and 5 dreams a night.
-But my ability to WILD or even attempt to WILD has seemed to regress. Especially my morning attempts. I feel like I'm just laying there thinking. That's probably the problem (that i'm thinking when i shouldn't be) but I don't know how to keep my mind focused and still fall asleep, if I don't focus my mind i'll just fall asleep normally, but if I focus it too much, i won't fall asleep at all....

I just discovered this website thanks to someone on reddit linking to a post about ADA (All Day Awareness) which I'm eager to try.
I've been Lucid Dreaming for a few years now but it's all been random DILD's until recently where I had my first successful WILD. Now I'm really trying. I want to do everything I can to have more lucid dreams and I want to share it with people. that's why I'm here!

Anyway..

Tonight I was in "las vegas" again---despite going there twice in real life, my dream version of LV is always terrible and nothing like the real thing---I found myself with almost no money (another common thing) and in a taxi. I asked the driver to suggest where I should go based on how much money I had and he told me to go see Phantom of the Opera and then play games at the bar next door. (apparently my subconscious is mixing together new york and las vegas)
At one point I was on a hotel room trying to watch a video that was like a guide of the city, I asked someone to rewind it so I could see a certain strip but they wouldn't do it and it really upset me.


NOTE: It's very frustrating to me how often I have dreams about Las Vegas and Hotels/Vacations and yet I virtually never go lucid in this dreams. Considering I'm AWARE how much I dream about vegas, shouldn't I immediately recognize that I'm in a dream? Isn't one of the main ideas of the dream journal to make it to where you can recognize common themes in your dream and thus become aware and thus become lucid.

and yet despite knowing this, I never seem to be aware of it until after I wake up...

anyway

2nd dream I was inside my childhood house looking out the window when two young men on bicycles rode by. I thought one of them looked like my bike that had been stolen. Suddenly a police officer pulls up and neighbors surround the scene to see what's going on. It turns out the bikes were stolen (but not mine)
