I leave the house, it is night. Without any reason I look at my hands, they look very funny. Is this a dream? Yes! I quickly walk through the urban nightscape and repeat my hand RCs. They are very funny, every time there is something different (bigger, more fingers, less fingers, colors). I wonder why. I can "make" my hands look pretty normal, though if I want to. After having that explored enough, I decide to finish some goals. I want to meet somebody, so I walk toward the neighborhood where that person lives. Then midway I change my mind and want to go for the dinner. In front of me there is a block of houses. I run towards it with the intention to pass through it, expecting a shopping mall with a nice sushi restaurant in it. It works! The feeling running through that walls is strange, like running into a hedgerow: it scratches and tickles (in fact, in Germany there is stupid fun sport called "Hecking" where people do right that!). In the mall I quickly find my sushi place. Seems the dream pulled details from three different WL sushi places I go to regularly and blended them together into something new. There are some people around. While I take a seat, F. immediately involves me into a philophical discussion about online marketing in a post-truth media world. I have trouble following his weird ideas. Well, but the salmon nigiris are awesome. Like in waking life, fatty, tasty, just as they have to be. While eating a lot of sashimi, I lose lucidity and continue to engage in chatter about whatever with my dreamed colleagues.

I awaken myself after some hours of sleep at 5:30 a.m. Eager to break my dry spell of the last days I take a low dose of a nice AchE and go back to bed. A quick WILD attempt brings me into a huge building that looks a much like the famous opera house Colon in Buenos Aires. I walk through the aisle and look for a quiet side room to have the dinner I planned for. Quickly I lose lucidity and the dream, followed by a time of blackness and deep sleep. The AchE did not yet kick in, yet.

Then in a new dream that suddenly started I meet Mona, a girl I was pen pal with in younger years. I recognize her immeditately despite we never met in waking life. She changed her last name to the German word for "leaseholder", probably because she got married. I notice that strange bit and do a reality check (floating), it works and I lift up a little over the floor. Yes! I am Dreaming! We continued to chat and I asked myself if I should awake myself and record the dream, google that strange name. I use a mnemonic trick to remember and continue the dream, losing lucidity later on.
Just to find myself (FA) at my parents place earlier in time. I'm in the kitchen and notice that this must be a very important moment in their timeline. Several reality tests fail, telling me this is real life. But I'm quite sure to be (still) dreaming, and finally the good old push-my-hand-through-solid-stuff works. Now that I'm confirmed fully lucid, I dissolve my dream body, I am no longer phyically there, just an observer. On the table there lies a newspaper, the Süddeutsche Zeitung from August of the year 1985. I listen to my parents talking to each other in another room. When they enter the kitchen, I awaken.

Lucid journey
WILD after WBTB
The dream starts in a room that is my room but it is not like mine at all, I'm certain that I'm in the dream state now. I leave the room and enter a hallway with windows to a kind of patio, I am at a quite high floor, the 5th or 6th story of the building. As vision gets blurry, I'm still fully lucid and decide to go/jump though a closed window to stabilize the dream. I works, after morphing through the glass (a funny feeling, like wandering though pudding), I hover down to a rooftop, and my vision is great again. In the corner of my vision I realize a mexican woman in traditional clothing on the rooftop, she notices me. I feel like being caught in the act of being somewhere I should not be. Instead of making contact I teleport away.
With no special target in mind, I land at a highway at night. There is a huge traffic jam, where I encounter a random family of people I don't know (mum, dad, two teenage sisters who wear ways to short skirts, a boy). I ask them where they wanted to go before they were stucked in the traffic jam. The adult man says "Manchester". I nod, then I wave my hand like "Q" in StarTrek and will them and their car to their destination. It works, they disappear. I'm proud that this dream control task worked, but I'm also disappointed by the story (or the lack of) of the dream, so I teleport myself to a crowded city center.
I materialize at a pedestrian precinct, it is early evening, short before sundown. Remembering one of my goals to do some dancing, I will a suitable nice girl to be around the corner. And there she is: a tall blonde long-haired girl about my age, clear blue eyes walks out of a shop towards me in very gracil movements. We greet, shake hands, like remembering each other (I never saw her, neither in waking life nor in dreams). Then I do something I stopped doing years ago: I talk to her about the dream state. "Hey! Do you know and acknowledge that we are dreaming right now and you a dream figure in my dream?" She looks closely at me, she understands the statement but is unsure. We continue to discuss the nature of the reality, and my dream fades away during that, I awake. I reality test, yes this was a real waking after a real LD!

eating at a Bavarian restaurant
DILD
My GF, a befriended couple and myself are eating lunch at a typical Bavarian restaurant. The huge place is crowded, but we have a reservation. Food is good and it is totally normal to drink big glasses of beer for lunch. I want to pay as we are finished. Our waitress asks für 1400€! Srsly? 4 persons for lunch costs 1400€? I test reality and here we go: this is a dream and the waitress really has the nerves to continue to insist that I owe them 1400 bucks for a f*** lunch. I laugh out loud and we spend a moment that feels like eternity to figure out why the hell the POS system thinks we have a 1400€-bill. We find out that a noshow-reservation of a big company was booked at my table. They correct the mistake, I "pay" my now reasonable bill and we're ready to leave. The only reason I spent so much dream time with such a stupid situation was that I wanted to peek into their booking and POS system and experience how that technical devices work in my dream. It was quite expected that they were consistent and plausible like in real life, as long as I just watched the dream story happening without interfering much. We leave the restaurant and the dream continues as my GF and me walk to a cottage at a mountain pasture. I really want to seduce her there but at first she resists because a maid who lives and works there might walk into us at any time. In the end I succeed and lose lucidity over it

[18.10.2015 ~5 a.m. GMT+1; not lucid]
In the late evening I arrive at the place where I live. It is dark, heavy rain falls as a park my car. A new girl moves into a flat in the house. She is slim, long blonde hair, wearing a white trenchcoat. With her, a white cat with stunning green eyes appears. I laugh as the girl's eyes match the color of the cat's. I plan to talk to her later as she caught my interest. First I go home, unload my stuff and run into a neighbour who lives there a long time. We chat a little and watch ridiculously huge masses of water running down an aqueduct from the roof of the house next us. I awake.
