#1 I was talking with an old friend and we discussed the possibility of video game mapping. Essentially how could we create maps and turn them into a virtual reality. One issue that we faced was that on the newer gaming systems the amount of hit points one could receive were no longer transferable. Thus if you got shot across the map, you'd just die regardless of how strong you were. In other words, in the newer systems, one shot one kill would be the norm every time... which doesn't make for great gaming. Therefore we stuck with the older module and worked that. Somehow my friends moms lasagna became the proposed outline for the map... and from what I remember, we started vibrating in a lasagna like virtual reality. Eventually I transferred into FIFA 12 and wondered what it would be like to be in FIFA 15. I played in the home play stage as Ronaldo and Oozil practicing my bicycle kicks. I especially focused upon kicking the ball back over my head and then blasting a goal. #2 I was looking over a massive expanse of land with beautiful mountains and pastures. There was an old cow in front of me and I wondered how he survived this long out here; where were the wolves? I then saw his barn next to me and figured that he must have gone inside during the night times. My Dad was way up yonder to the left on top of a mountain near the car. He wanted to get going to the vacation house. Subconsciously I knew that I was purposefully delaying but I also knew what better view was there but here? It was a testament to how my dad just goes and doesn't reflect. So I sat back and eventually he called out towards me hollering that I must have misplaced his swim bag. I remember that I may have put it in the car but wasn't for certain. Then I realized all the contents of his bag were stored on my smartphone in a folder. Somehow we ended up in a snowstorm car of last year's winter in Boston. We were cruisin' through powder and I couldn't help but notice how close my dad was to the person in front of us; tailgating in a snowstorm. The person in front of us put on the brakes but I felt a bit more comforted when I took a bird's eye view of our car and realized the snow tires were in full effect and efficient. Lastly I was in my home kitchen and excited to eat Rice Crispy Treat cereal. What was funny is that when I opened the bag, there was literally half rice and half crispy. This concerned me and could have easily been a dream trigger but I happily went on pouring my bowl of Crispy's and played with the rice balls all the same. Then I went to do the dishes and there was a strainer that was filled with red and nasty hamburger meet. I knew how much it meant to my mom to clean the kitchen and her to come home to a clean kitchen, so I broke out the soap and bubbles and did my duty. Notes: I am developing the correct balance between recording too much and recording too little. If I record too much of the dream, I run the risk of not being able to fall asleep due to active mind and light stimulation. If I record too little, I run the risk of falling into a poor habit of not recording. I know it is wise for me to err on the side of too much recording. Then the worst that can happen is an elongated WBTB. This will be my plan.
I'm putting something in front of a car and its night time. The car is trying to drive. I examine what they are more closely and I see that they are like miniature cannons... In another part of the dream I'm walking or running somewhere and I see a guy with a cig and its still night time. Wondering why I couldn't hear any sound in my dream. I guess I'll have to try telling myself more sound now!
I skipped a few days writing down my dreams because I haven’t been sleeping very well but I’m up north now and sleeping like a rock. -Harry Potter dream where I’m trying to defeat the Dark Lord D1: I was at some train tracks with 3 other people who I didn’t know but had met in the dream. I was watching them cross the train tracks and trains were coming from both sides(there were two sets of tracks). I yelled for them to hurry up but they were taking their sweet time. They made it across, but I noticed this man, maybe in his late 60’s, sitting on the tracks. I didn’t know if he was there on purpose or if he was going to move at the last second, so I just watched. The train hit him. Now I was at my house, it was a flashback to before the man had died. I had a “feeling” that he was in danger, kinda like Allison Dubois from tv show Medium. I called his number, which was only two numbers, 75. My dad tried to stop me because he didn’t want me to bother him, but I had to call. He answered. “Hello” he mumbled, sounding very depressed. “I uh.. just wanted to know if you’re okay. It’s perfectly fine if you’re not okay, and I have a strong feeling you’re not.” He says nothing and hangs up. D2: I was in a waterpark and this girl was telling about her experience drowning. I was transported to a very, very large pool with a huge drop off from the edge of the pool to the water, and very deep water(maybe 100-200 feet). I was terrified. Some time during this dream I was drowning and it felt like I couldn't breathe. I was thinking about how I have a phobia of deep pools and was wondering if there was a word for the phobia, but I realized I was dreaming. The dream wasn’t very stable so I rubbed my hands together and then I yelled “CLARITY” and it kinda felt like I yelled that in RL too. I knew I would lose the dream soon so I decided to jump off the edge because I wasn’t scared anymore. It was a very peaceful, relaxing feeling and then I woke up in a FA and tried to write down my dream.

I tryed to incubate using a song...to send loving thoughts into my dreams...didn't quite work as expected. D1 - I was in a large room with artificial lighting and lots of mats on the floor. Everyone was wearing white karate like suits and everyone was young. We were practising dance moves that a sensei was teaching us. I was doing fine coping his every move. The song I had been incubating was in my dream to start with then... more and more people started joining in and it was getting to crowded. I couldn't see properly what I was meant to do and I stumbled and knocked into someone. Next it all fell apart my rhythm was gone and I just jerked about out of time :/ I got fed up and left the floor. There were partners waiting watching for all the dancers, except of course me. In fact the people I looked at averted their gazes, although I felt this was because they were sad and disappointed with me. I left the hall and made my way along a hallway that was glass (ds) with white painted frames (old wooden style). Along with others I walked to an end section, which looked like an office or a shop (maybe both). At the end was a counter top with lots of different coloured notes (like bills in a restaurant). I looked at the notes and the squiggly handwriting. Thought about picking up one note then decided not too. I went to leave the shop but saw that along the hallway, to one side some large pigs had been let out of their pens. These were not cute little piggy wiggys but more like large boars that would happily munch on your bones. I shrank back when I saw a large slobbering black ones jaws , hanging open. I made for the back of the shop panicked. There was a door at the back and I escaped out onto a grassy bank (ds), wet with mud, into a Grey gloomy day. Further on was a housing estate. I reached the top of the bank and went to cut back round. Unfortunately several people from the estate came out...they were zombies...one particularly scary one an old man, with a black suit, and grey hair slicked onto his face from the rain, homed in on me. I couldn't make it I was paralyzed with fear. I woke up, I was determined to WBTB and give the DCs a hug, I tried the song again for thoughts of love... D2 - I again thought I was trying to get back to sleep...but I was in a dream again. I was in a large manor house at night. It soon became early morning and I found myself in a dormitory surrounded by little kids. I needed to go to the toilet but couldn't remember my password. My partner ditto. So we wandered around the house looking for a toilet with a hoard of kids. I was to embarrassed to say I couldn't remember. We ere standing in a large room with ceiling high windows looking out onto lawns and woods beyond. When a parent who had entered the house came in. They asked if they're children could not stay here unsupervised and play while they went off out. Surely they could go out into the grounds and roam, as long as they were told not to go to far. I thought of making a joke about a nuclear reactor being near by but thought better of it. It had started to lash rain and I looked out at the woods as the rain splattered the windows. We left the house only to see the parent kids standing outside completely drenched in the rain. We reached a some shops inside it was packed. We made our way to the end of the building. There was a bar. As I went through a bottle went flying up into the air. The barman gave me daggers, I explained it was just a trick. I said I could make anyone here at the bar their favourite drink. I used telepathy and magic to fill people's glasses with their favourite drinks. I could taste the bitter taste of the alcohol. The barman was still not impressed so I made a drink for him, filling his drink magically up, up and up till full. He downed it in one the frothy brew swilling round his upended glass. Then he spat the last of it at me :/ I had had enough of this sour faced barman, and made for the door. Flinging the door open I flew up into the air and was gone. I could hear familiar music as I ascended into the stormy grey sky.
I was in the living room with the fam and I was facing the fam except my dad was also on my side of the room. they were all watching the TV so it was kind of weird that I was facing the same way as the TV was. Anyway as I was sitting there rosemary and rachel and someone else were laying down facing away from the tv but kept looking back at it by leaning their heads back and rolling the eyes, I thought about how it would make a good picture if I could set them up for one and then out in the park I saw a little girl in childs pose and I thought she was meditating before she popped up suddenly and had been taking a photograph of the cotton wood, I then saw that some of our cedar trees in the back yard had died and been given the same color and coating as the ones at Wilderness Ridge only they had spikes that made them look like cedars. at this point I was no longer asleep but in the realm between, I thought of how in my backyard I was going to grow cedar tree's like a forest and then have a huge group of cottons woods in the middle of the clearing with aspens in the first rind and then husker oaks in the second ring and then the coolest tree (prolly a weeping williow in the middle with a clear pond and cool rock formations and the encouraged growth of vines and moss.
I tryed to do a WBTB but was fooled by my dream...In the dream I was still trying to get back to sleep in a darkened room. I was laying on a large black suitcase still trying to do my incubation...Darn dream tricked me again
I'm driving a down a road, there is forest on either side, a grey day. I see a man on the right with his dog. He's stopped but I'm afraid that the dog might just jump in front of the car. It doesn't and I drive by. A see another man stopped by the shoulder of the road with his motorcycle, I see a lake he's looking towards. He's smoking a cigarette and the smoke get in the cabin of the truck as a drive, smells irritating. Suddenly I see that the asphalt is new, there is road construction. Cars are coming right at me, another truck comes right at me on my side of the lane. I narrowly miss it, but with all the traffic coming at me, I'm afraid that this is a one-way road. I drive all the way to the side of the road in a panic. I go down a small side track, it leads to a downhill path. The truck dives down into the ground, burrowing into the earth. As I go down I see I'm in a fallout shelter, but looking back I see the light of the outside world getting dimmer and dimmer. I try to turn back but can't, the walls of the tunnel will cave in. I'm safe now in the shelter but trapped, like being buried alive.
I have a coworker, works in a partner organization, and is a rather imposing individual. In my dream I believed a dream character was her, but she was not at all like her. I first contacted M to cancel a meeting because most people were going to be out of the office the next day when the meeting was supposed to take place. Only then did I find out that M was there in person unlike usually when we collaborate long distance. In my dream I did not notice that she looked and acted nothing like the real M. She was slimmer, different hair, different everything. And she was nicer, more approachable. I changed my mind about the meeting. Since she was here in person, and would be one of the few in the office, we could meet. When I woke I remember remembering another fragment, maybe about my mom? But now I forgot.

11/14/15 Afternoon sleep after sleeping all night last night (was off). I hear a sound outside of my moms kitchen. I go out on a balcony and don't expect to see anything, because it;s cloudy. But I do see a large commercial airplane. It's making a sound that's not consistent with it's size. There is some writing in blue cursive on it's trunk, but I can't make it out. I yell at my mom to get me the binoculars. She says they are in a sock drawer. I'm frustrated coz that's not helping me, I want her to bring it to me. By then the airplane landed and it's a small helicopter with cockpit made out of clear plastic in a shape of a bubble. It almost looks like a model controlled from ground, but it's a full size one. The place it landed on is a small frozen lake surrounded by ice and snow and hills. Now I see water to the right, under the full moon. I say that's strange, because it should not be visible. Then I notice that the water is all the way to the second story balcony and windows. I tell everybody that the house is floating away now, same way as in other 4 dreams I had about house moving/floating away. Water starts to come in through the windows and I jump there to close them more tight, and so does my dad. I yell at my brother to get some more towels, but he says no.
Dream - Genghis Khan I remember being on a grass hill with a large mountain outcropping in a steep cliff shooting upwards to my left. To my right there was another obstacle, likely another mountain. There was intense fighting going on with swords and stuff. I was far more powerful than the other warriors which were just grunts. I quickly disposed of a large handful of them, but one of them remained. He was Genghis Khan, a strong warrior who refused to give up and leave. He moves back down a slight slope towards a small wooden building about 20 meters away. Inside are two weapons, one is a kukri and I can't recall what the other one looked like. They were displayed as if they were treasures. He grabs the kukri and we fight I think.. He's still no match for me even though he was considered to have 'powered up'. I then said "Laters Genghis Khan, I'm going forever", but in the funniest voice. It sounded like something from a Disney cartoon which I intentionally put on for some reason, but it really made no sense. I've had to put on hold the DEILD attempts until I can get my recall back up. Dealing with those alarms with the addition of having to move back to the North Island.. Seems like it has impacted my recall ^_^
I'm not sure how I knew I was dreaming, but I was aware. It was dark; night time. I was in some sort of landscape that was quite pretty, in a bit of a desert area. I looked up to the sky and said, "SHOW ME SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL!" and got a rainbow. A rainbow at night was unusual and strange, but I would not call it beautiful, so I asked for the same thing. Behind me there was a butterfly, glowing a white-yellow color, fluttering in the breeze: it was beautiful. I rose in the air as well and followed it around.
1. I was inside of a class. It was a Japanese class, but I'm not sure what about. I took my seat and as I did, noticed that Patrick and Brittany had this class with me too. They both came and sat next to me. I looked around and realized that I didn't know anybody else in the room. The majority of the class was of some Asian decent. I was one of the only caucasian males in there. Class went on for a while, but the teacher never really talked. I walk out of the class room to go to the restroom. As I do I see that I am not in any average school. This place is huge; it's a university. The floor was covered in carpet with a unique blue, yellow, and black pattern. Right as I walked back in the classroom I saw that there was now a huge table in the front of it. It was a regular fold-able brown wooden table. On it was a vast selection of all kinds of frozen vegetables and juices. I went to go grab one, but as I did a girl grabbed it at the same time as me. "Oh no I really wanted that one!" she whined. "Hey you can have it. I don't even know what these things really are anyways." Then she told me plainly how they were juices and frozen vegetables, but kinds that I had never seen on planet Earth ever before. I looked around some more and saw a red bag of frozen green beans. I picked it up. It was cold and wet to say the least. Suddenly the bell rang and class ended. Everyone started to pack up and leave. The teacher finally spoke, "Everyone put your project in the class folder for now". Everyone did except for me; I had no idea what project he was talking about. I didn't even work on anything the entire class. "Also, put a few of your names on the class folder as well so I know what class they are from." I walked over to my desk and to my surprise, saw that I had "my project" on it. I picked it up and walked over to the class folder. I looked at the names on the folder and saw Patricks, Brittanys, and mine on there even though I never signed it. The rest of the names was everyone else that I didn't know. I got my stuff after that and on my way out I noticed a japanese girl with red hair. She looked pretty. She had on a red track jacket and light blue skinny jeans that were partially bleached. Her eyes were blue as well as all of her eye makeup. I continued on my way out and some other Japanese girl walked out at the same time as me. We started talking and upon leaving the classroom I was once again amazed by the whole architecture of the university. "So is this the only japanese class you have?" she asked me. "Yeah, and honestly I don't even know why I'm in it or what it's for" I told her. She laughed and we talked some more until suddenly some jealous big Asian guy came up and started walking between us and cutted me out. I knew immediately that this guy had a thing for this girl, but I wasn't gonna take that. "Excuse me, what the fuck was that? Have some respect" I told him before pushing him back in his place and resuming talking to the girl. I guess this really mad him mad. He put his hands up, but they weren't in fists but more like a karate chop form. He started trying to chop my nose, but I blocked him. He did this multiple times and I blocked it every time, but I still felt the force of his karate chop hand move through my wrist as he hit me. In the middle of all this I realized that I was wearing a fully black jacket, but it was not of my style and looked horrible.
11/14/15 I had a night off last night. Slept from 11pm or so - 8am DR: I am in Asia, perhaps Vietnam. In some kind of a run-down hotel. Something about bathrooms. A chef makes scrumptious looking asian meals, like General Tso's and some pork belly. I'm stocking some chocolate cake. Now I'm in the office of US envoy in this asian country. He is telling me that there is no escape for us, we are gonna be all killed no matter if we are trying to escape on a bus, or oter way, or stay in his office. So I ask him if it's ok to eat that chocolate cake. He says sure. I go back and eat the whole damn thing. First I only take a chunk of the frosting and want to cut it up so nobody notices, but then I say srew it and eat it all. But before that I make me a plate of that asian food and add some mustard that my friend is asking for. I remembered after I woke up how it all tasted. Just before this I'm watching an opposite wall in this hotel, where on top part mice start to pour out of an invisible opening. There is hundreds of them. They stay on this short ledge on top of the wall. I tell this to the envoy and I tell him that good chunk of the wall is missing there. (Just before bed I watched the movie Chef where he was cooking these awesome looking dishes. This is the food part of my dream. The mice - I saw a roach farm on tv that same day.)
Because you were not "present" enough. Generally you need to practice recall and awareness. It seems like if you are thinking about lding enough to have it in your dreams, you are aware enough of lucid dreaming, but you are not aware enough in the dream. When we lucid dream our higher brain functions are shut down, so reasoning is gone. When we realize we are dreaming or talk about dreaming inside a dream, they don't just magically light up. The more recall you have, usually, the more you are present and making realistic decisions. Yeah, I might be fighting a bagel army, but I am the using all of my recent experience and making decisions based on that. When your presence in a dream is low, youbare more of watching rather than making the decisions. Examples of dreams with high awareness of lucid dreaming, but not enough presence: Park car, walk inside, walk back out car is gone. "No biggie, that happens when I am dreaming, I really need to get that paperwork to that ostrich though or he will fire me." house starts melting "Noe my house is melting. Thanks Obama. Melting my house in my dream! I need to get to that paperwork!" Example dreams with high presence, but not enough awareness of dreams: Park car, walk inside, walk back out, car is gone. What the crap? I just parked my car outside and I turned around and it is gone? Now my house is melting, what is happening to me?" House starts melting "I think I am going to take a walk." Or fake memories can start kicking in Park car, walk inside, walk back out, car is gone. "I just parked my car outside where did it go? Oh yeah! Wife said she would pick it up." House starts melting. "I forgot that they scheduled this for today!" High both awareness and presence: Park car, go inside, come back out, car is gone. "Oh! This is a dream! I guess I don't need to worry about that. What were my dream goals?" Really high awareness and presence: Dream starts, park car, realize I am dreaming, think for goals. Really low both: Park car, walk inside, walk back out, car is gone but you don't notice. The house is melting and you don't notice. You just keep doing your thang.
