#470 - DEILD - 12:07AM

I wake up slightly, but have enough mindfulness to try to DEILD. It's pretty dark at first and I spend a lot of time making walking motions with my goal as my mantra (Jump on the trampoline). When the walking feels vivid enough, I decide to clap my hands and slap my face as hard as I can. There is a dull sound and tingling sensation upon impact. I now move on to my goal and imagine myself jumping on the trampoline in my back yard. The view of my backyard quickly fills in, but it's still really dark. I don't like this bother and I begin to jump extra high. The sensation of falling back down gets my stomach at first and I have to try really hard not to let it bother me. I notice how high I get as I watch the roofs of houses falls below me. After a few moments I get bored with this and latch on to an impossibly tall tree and climb up. I can clearly see limbs and bright greens leave as I make my way higher and higher. I see another tree close by and I decide to jump over to that one then swing down by hanging on the end of a long thin branch.
My brother is standing on the ground looking at me. "How did you do that?", he asks.
What does he mean doesn't he know this is a dream? I answer, "I'm just like a squirrel. It works the same way."

I am now standing in the main room of my house and I see my son smiling at me. I leap up and kick of a near wall to glide over him. I imagine flying is a lot like swimming as I swim all around the room like its a pool. My son chases me smiling and laughing and I get a chuckle out of it. For some reason I want my brother to see this and I decide to look for him in the kitchen, but he is no where to be found. Then, I become afraid that I will lose the recall of this dream so I decide to wake up.


I quickly record my dream and suddenly feel myself sinking back into that half dream zone.

I find myself wondering around some version of my house with my son. A set of non-existent stairs appear and we climb up them together. I am really curious what I will find, but I suddenly wake up again. I totally forgot that I had put my knees up while recording in my DJ and my left leg had flopped over, waking me up.

I only have recall of one other non lucid dream for the night. It was like a movie and these boys had entered into a cartoon world. They tried to find a solution to the problem.

First dream

There was some sort of cataclysm that turned whole Earth into barren lands. There was no vegetation, except a few dead or dying trees that could be spotted once in a while. People were using all the resources left to build themselves shelters, as zombies are approaching. I was wandering close to two bunkers - one was an old World War Two soviet bunker, and another was in a two storey house with fortified compound and sniper towers. I entered the first one. There was a couple of elder people inside - the man was wearing a hawaiian shirt and short trousers, and the woman was wearing a hawaiian dress. They were both armed with AKS 74/2 rifles. The zombies were approaching, and we had to prepare ourselves.

False awakening

Middle of the night, I woke up in my bed and wandered my house for a while. After a while I stumbled upon my mother. She told me that someone is driving all over our frontyard with a silver Audi car. I went outside, and the car stopped. I entered it and saw that a pal of my older brother called "Firefighter" was controlling it. He was completely drunk. As soon as I entered the car, he drove away from my house. I used handbrake to stop the car, took his keys and ran away from him. He chased me for a long time, up to the Ukrainian border. It was afternoon. I decided to give him his keys back, and we went back to the car.

Third dream

I was in school, sitting in the classroom. The teacher wasn't looking at me, so I opened my backpack and took assault rifles out of it. I had enough of them to give each to every person in the classroom.

D1 - Apparently there was a end of the world type storm coming. So I went to hide out in the woods and make a shelter.
Lots of animals followed me. Do I look like snow white
Next I use banks of earth to make a wall against the oncoming apocalyptic winds. I decide to dig straight down a wide
trench, very deep. Along the bottom I store fire wood and along the side there are loads of square chambers sealed with clay.
Inside each is a meal ready to go, all I need to do is place a fire next to it then break open the chamber to eat the meal.
(probably roast hedgehog or rabbit).There is some kind of chimney for the smoke and a fire suspended by a pulley system from the roof.
A series of hatches protects the trench from invasion from who knows what.
Above the trench there are people in the trees ready to shoot any animals attracted by the smoke from cooking. And around the wooded camp is a plastic tarpaulin barrier.

D2- Long battle against enemy agents has drawn near to it's end as the last two operatives fight it out.
I am one of them as course xD tho I appear to be a Tom Cruise looky likey...nooooooooo. (so unfair).
Anyway my arch nemesis has blond hair and looks like lead singer out of ABC Martin Fry...scary.
We fight it out...in the air over London. Every thing looks weird from up in the sky. I can make out various landmarks.
In the end it is my amazing swimming stroke as I fly...a bit like a desperate doggy paddle as I fly Oo.
And I get to a brown car before the other agent and it's all over.

I probably beat him to the secret supply of hair gel...idk.

This perspective, to some degree, has been shared in various forms on the forum, but I felt like sharing it here anyway, if nothing else to bring it to the forefront of our minds.

The best time to practice for lucidity is while we are awake, to practice lucidity throughout our day, which is why, for instance, we do RCs. RCs are not as much reminders to the subconscious as they are a generalized training for our minds to be lucid. In other words, you RC to remind yourself to be mindful of the moment.

But I'm not sure if the underlying reason for stressing mindfulness/self-awareness is often directly stated. To put it simply, everything is consciousness, everything is mind. If the mind learns to do something during waking perception, like having heightened awareness of self and surroundings, then it will only naturally take what it has learned into the dream state. We just need to do it without stress and strain and making it a chore.

That said, you must remember that to be mindful/self-aware isn't about forcing the mind into said awareness. It's simply about being a conscious observer of the moment. Based on posts, people seem to get caught up in the idea that they have to ride themselves with a whip to accomplish this goal of LDing, or they are not giving enough effort. You don't have to beat yourself up, stress yourself out. Our goal is just to become consciously aware during our body's downtime. The entire idea behind WILD, for instance, isn't about forcing your conscious mind into a specific state as you fall asleep; it's simply about observing sleep happen consciously rather than unconsciously. Just be the observer, be mindful, be aware, and you will fall into the dream lucidly.

As a last thought, stop stressing the techniques and become aware of the Now as it happens around you. Thanks for indulging my need to share.

NON LUCID

*My mother seemed to be really sad about something so I told her I will be next to her side until she feels better.
*Ran into trill at a party which seemed to take place inside of a school gym.
*There was this chaotic party going on in the middle of streets. I was kind of watching from the out shirts.

HOLY SHIT, what a weird night. I must have had about 6-8 dreams, and I do remember most of them, but not enough for each to have its own entry.

Instead, allow me to talk about the first DILD I had with control.

It was pretty great.

It basically just involved me standing in the middle of a road, with oncoming cars, and each time a car got to me, I would just smash it in some way, or just straight up throw it off the road. It was honestly so much fun.

I'm not sure when I realized I was in a dream but I knew I wasn't in a lucid one before the car smashing started to happen.

There was one car that I think was a drunk driver, and he sped straight into me, but I stopped the car in its tracks, and then smashed and threw it.

Each car felt like I was smashing air at first, so I remember thinking "This doesn't feel realistic enough" so I was somehow able to add that I could feel the impact of each hit eventually.

I think this is the most control I've ever had in a dream now. I didn't do anything else because smashing cars was too much fun, I suppose, eheheheheh... I knew I was in a dream for sure though. I could feel myself about to wake up, but I ignored it and stayed in the dream.

I hope I have another one of these again.

Dream 1

I was high on marijuana. I then woke up in real life and felt as though I was high, too. It may have just been tiredness, though.

Dream 2

I was on a spaceship, and it kind of looked like the Rebel ship at the beginning at Star Wars Episode 4 on the inside.

Dream 3

I was in the country. It was quite a poor area. I lived in a trailer with my family, and we were pretty poor. I then went out for a walk. I walked through town for a very long time, and eventually I came across a stadium. The stadium had a giant tented audience seat box thing (whatever they're called) around it. The tent that covered it was orange-reddish, but more orange. I went onto the box, and it was covered with hundreds of sleeping Canadian geese. I woke the geese up as I went near them.

Later on I went past the audience box thing, and I found a junk yard. This junk yard had a ton of garbage in it. There was also a track field in the middle of it, making the yard kind of shaped like a horseshoe. The area surrounding the junk yard was very forested. I entered the yard on the left side, where there was a giant structure with metal see-through floor, which lead to the audience box. I climbed over the garbage to get past the junk yard, but it was fenced on all sides except the front, so I just climbed to the other side of the entrance and went back home.

On the way home, I saw a lot of people from college. They were saying hi to me as I walked by. Eventually I got home.

Later in the day (or the next day, I can't remember) I went on another walk back to the junk yard. I got back there, and decided this time I would not climb the garbage. I just walked in, waited a few minutes, and left. It also looked like it was about to rain at this point.

As I walked out of the yard, I saw a flock of Canadian geese climbing the big metal object with the see-through floor to get into the audience box. I thought they were trying to not get wet from the rain. Then, it started raining. I started jogging home, passing by more college kids I knew. I saw a really cute girl I saw irl, and she waved to me. I waved back as I jogged home. The end.

I had a stupid, useless LD last night. It was a huge waste. Here we go:

I don't remember what was happening earlier, but I think there was something about a war. I'm pretty sure I had been walking around a Machu Picchu-like place, but it had been somewhat destroyed by battles.

Anyway, then I went to bed. It was not my bed, nor my bedroom. It was a big room, though. So I thought I had to check on something and hit the light switch, but nothing happened. My first thought was: "light switches sometimes don't work in dreams... THIS IS A DREAM!!!"

Then, I went through my list of goals. The first thing I wanted to do was summon Lea Michele. But I decided to truly turn the lights on before I did anything, since it really was dark. It didn't work, though. And my arms and legs were all weird, kinda like sleep paralysis? They'd move, but they'd be almost disconnected to me and then I'd realise I wasn't moving them at all. It was very frustrating, so I decided I should just wake up, since I could barely move and no amount of "this is MY dream, I'm the one with the power" was working.

Except that I couldn't wake up either. So I figured that the only thing I could do was "kill myself" so that I'd wake up. Not being able to move properly, my options were limited, but I managed to throw myself off the bed, head first. I knew I had broken my neck and I suddenly felt very warm and numb. Then it all went dark.

And I woke up on the SAME bed, which, again, was not MY bed. I didn't bother with the light switch that time, I just got out of the bed and shouted Lea's name. She appeared and I asked her to sing to me. She sang me something that was beautiful, but also made no sense. It was something about how stars' tears are always so high up in the sky, but also dry.

Anyway, then I went to hug her, but Lea wasn't Lea anymore, she was... old Lea. And this is when I lost my lucidity.

Even though she looked older than my grandmother - she honestly looked about my great-grandmother's age - she was still Lea, so I took her in my arms and started dancing with her. I couldn't bring myself to kiss her, but I could still dance with her... right?

Anyway. I woke up. Then I fell asleep again.

The war theme went on, but things were much more obvious now. I believe I was a soldier or something, but things were much more political than the last dream, where I had seen everything in ruins. I remember going somewhere to report something, except that then I ended up getting locked up with a political traitor.

Then, I realised that he was right and I decided that, if I ever got out of there, I'd also switch sides. Then, our "leader" (a president or something) came to see me. He told me that he knew how discouraged I was, but that he was willing to show me that he wasn't a bad man and that he was trying his best. So I decided to remain loyal to him. He was going to send me on a mission, but I woke up again.

Other dream:

I was running around with some other people. We were being silly, teenage-ish actions and all. Then, we saw this big apartment and decided to break in. This apartment was huge, mostly because it was actually many apartments in one. There was this living room that had countless doors, each door leading to a different room that could belong to different apartments. It was actually very interesting.

We walked in and we saw this old lady on this comfy armchair. She was asleep, but we moved around slowly and quietly. Until she started speaking gibberish, so we all hid. I ended up crouching next to her armchair. She was still asleep, but then she proceeded to make out with her leg. It was gross.

So I moved away and entered a different room. I started exploring all the many rooms there, seeing lots of bedrooms and a few kitchens as well. I don't recall seeing any bathrooms, which is a shame. I've been doing a RC everytime I enter a bathroom, so I believe I'd have gone lucid had I found one. But that's okay.

Anyway, halfway through my multiple-apartment-adventure, I heard noises coming from the living room and thought that my silly friends had woken the old lady up. I quickly went back there, always remembering to keep myself hidden, and then I found this woman there in the middle of the living room. She seemed surprised by our presence, but not threatened by us in any way. She offered me a glass of water.

And finally:

Once again, I was with a group of silly people. We entered this really long corridor. It was all white. There was a voice saying that there were doors there that would lead to different houses (sensing a theme there, I know). We wanted to check out the houses and we knew that some of the houses even had cameras.

The voice said something about someone having to get naked. We assumed that the voice wanted a guy, since it was a woman's voice. But then one of the girls lifted up her dress to one of the cameras in the corridor and the voice was really happy about it.

After that, we kept walking and exploring the corridor. I'm not sure how, but I ended up getting really close to a girl - maybe the one who had flashed the camera - and it felt like we were gonna have sex and I was super excited about it.

But then I woke up for good. Damn.

First night in my student flat; got woken up by a lot of new sounds and the infamiliarity of the place and bed.

I had a lot of dreams fragments, mostly of putting away my things in the new closet; dreams of things lurking in say closet, and inexpected finds in my bags.
Early this morning, I managed to catch a full cycle of sleep.

I'm in my new flat, and even though the drapes are closed, the light is strong enough to see perfectly. confident that I'm dreaming, I walk out through the closed window.* I ended up outside, in a strange place, a park full of people having fun at the fair. It's nightime here, but there is suspended lights everywhere, making the night bright and the leaves shine. I walk along the dirt path, taking in the fantasmatic view of all thoses exotics plants and stands and breathing in the smell of cotton candy and wet vegetation. I feel strangely nostalgic, and I see families with young children having a blast around me, passing by like I'm not really here. I don't mind it; I'm alone, but not lonely. The dream have this eerie quality, like morning fog; both thick and ephemeral. I want Eli to enjoy the atmosphere too, and I start looking for him. This end up being more difficult that I thought, and I run around, calling his name as the partying people walk around me without aknowleging it.
When I find him he all but fall in my arms, sending both of us tumbling down in the damp grass. There is a sharp contrast between the cold floor and his usual warm self. He is wraps himself around me as much as he can, tall and heavy, his breath warming my neck. I look down on his bare back, running my fingers along his spine, making him shivers when my nails graze the dimple just above his belt. I can feel his back moving with his breathing, slow and drowsy. He looks a little out of it, almost drunk. His weight prevents me from moving, but I like the cuddle, and keep gently stroking his back until I wake up.

*I'm on the second floor but the window is too small for me to simply walk through it; I pretty much phased through the wall. And ended up in a park and not floating above the backyard. Dreams amirite?

Eli was very flushered when I woke up, worken up about his attitude in the dream. It seem that there is such a thing as dream lucidity for tulpa, and he wasn't lucid in this shared dream. I will put more of the specific in my workbook in the tulpa forum.

This kind of night makes all the day work worthwhile. Not a great deal of lucidity, but some lucid moments, but fun Fun FUN dreams: flying, sexy moments, dueling, magic powers, weird/bizarre things/sights, just chock full of awesomeness!

early:

+ library, librarian unlocks collection of super rare books, the last in the world, "it's like Farenheit 451" as I caress the large, square, thin books.

+ freeway path gets progressively rougher. Sandy, hills, bumpy. They're doing construction on the road while we're driving on it. Large machines are stamping the sand in front of us. Then they turn into tall skinny naked male giants with huge flat feet and hairy butts which are fiercely stamping down the sand as we walk behind them. I don't like being so close to their hairy and smelly butts [don't actually smell anything]

+ SuBu, hold, stomach, sits chair, look in her fridge, empty but lots of stuff for making sandwiches; book report: I must gather oil from the pages (accumulated over years of fingers touching them), must scrape the oil off with something with a long thin edge like a ruler, I ask for an empty bottle with a stopper to gather this oil, I think this will take forever to gather together by scraping it off the pages.

WBTB

middle:

+ (LD#150) in office, people are gathering boxes, packing up their offices to leave, I look for the pile of flattened cardboard boxes, see a small pre-assembled boxes (sized for video tapes), keep looking, find pile of flattened boxes, pick up some (are missing some of the flaps?). Head back to my office. Catch sight of a pretty blonde girl sitting to the left among the offices/cubes. Something goes "zing!"and I'm (weakly) lucid as I walk over to her, bend over, and plant a kiss on her lips. Signature "lip pulling" as I stand up, feeling the contact, amazed at the sensations that a dream can produce. I then imagine I'd like some attention from her and sit down and bring her over
but it's vague from there, lose lucidity, or just transitions.

+ on bus S2 cracks tasteless joke, I'm sitting in middle row of bus, girl in the front (dark, middle-eastern looking with short dark hair) laughs. Turn back to look at S2 he's surrounded by girls on the seats all around, the bus is full; girl on bus playing with barbie-like dolls: one in each hand, she looks really intense, and plays like one of the barbies is shooting the other one, and shakes the hand of the shooting barbie and makes boy-noise gun sounds: "tut tut tut tut!…"; the bus is approaching the big stadium (university?), I think the driver should get much closer before he lets us off.

+ batteries outside of store, I'm working in front of the steps, blocking left entrance, a woman tries to go by, I say just use the right door. Guys sitting to my left, they say "I fucking hate batteries." I look down and I'm working on some electronics project with a lot of batteries, I echo shortly thereafter "I fucking hate batteries."

+ (vague, impressions, fragment) playing squash, serving, changing service boxes, lose count of score, playing a few points

+ I'm in a car, sitting on the front passenger seat. Then there are two investigators there standing also in the passenger seat area, rifling through the contents of the glove compartment, I'm in trouble for something I'm stashing in there? Wake up and relieved that my life is not ruined.

+ In some area with a girl dressed only in panties and a bra, maneuvering along a seated/bench (sort of like a car front seat? Related to above scene probably). In the left compartment is her stuff included her graded papers, in the right compartment is my secret stuff and I don't want her digging around in there. We're exchanging positions shuffling by each other closely and I say "don't worry I'm not trying to touch you" or something like that. I do notice her sexy butt in those patterned panties and wonder if maybe I should...

late:

+ (semi) high on cliff over rich beach houses (hundreds of feet blow), I think I should return to this spot in future dreams. I fly/dive down to a high patio on one house, the patio is empty of people, but I see a big party going on on ground floor, jump down, move to hostess,

Spoiler for sexy time, don't read if you don't like explicit descriptions:

and catch a glimpse of the nipple of her right breast through an opening in her outfit -- she's wearing a sleeveless dress. I move right up to her and grab her right breast and take it out of her dress. I'm holding it in my hand and get a good like at it, it's a lovely breast. I then give it a quick kiss/suck on the nipple, and wonder if she's going to be embarrassed about being exposed with these people around

, I pull back and hold her in my arms and I'm walking backwards through the party main room, I'm giving her quick kisses and asking her something like "did he kiss you like this?" but she never answers. I do this until we reach the far edge of the room and then stop and talk to some people.

Spoiler for sexy contents, don't read if you don't like explicit descriptions:

I realize that I've just ejaculated (masturbation) sitting on some place. There are some people (guys) to my left and right. I look down on the floor and see my stuff there floating in a layer of water, and I reach down and swirl the water around to disperse it. I also see that I've landed a good bit of it on a knitted blanket, which I then push down into the water to rinse off.

The blanket is now all wet in my hands, and I pull it up out of the water and mention to the guy to my right, "don't worry, it'll dry out quickly."

I head outside: we're near the coast of the ocean, there is fairly heavy flog/clouds but there are some breaks showing sun/blue sky, and I think that I should fly up through it to determine how thick it is.

+ magic: create mac 'n cheese factory
I'm walking by some (kids?) and someone kicks a couple of plastic gallon milk jugs, one of them floats up in the air and I immediately use my TK power with a hand gesture to "push it into space". It starts going really high and far away. Then I'm working with it in the air above me, trying to force it to become brighter (and hotter?), it is a sort of blue and gold lattice. I decide I should make the golden stuff into mac 'n cheese sauce, which starts dripping down. I call for the kids to come and eat it. Then the whole thing changes into a floating factory with whirring gears that automatically makes mac 'n cheese and dispenses it down a conveyor belt.

+ duel, "I'm old enough to Shreve!"
In some building, some vague moments with people I'm in conflict with. Move around to different rooms. Leave, then return. It's a deserted looking industrial building. I look to the far side of the room and expect a platform elevator to descend. Instead, it comes falling down quickly and crashes in to the floor, and an oldish man falls off, he appears dead. I say "Mormont's dead!" (I think he's my father?).

Outside on the street a young man wearing armor jumps down and confronts me. He says "I'm not too young to Shreve!" (I think this means killing a family member). He's killed father. I pull out my sword. He is standing over me and is wielding a white makeshift mace with many spikes on it. We engage. I block the mace and take many slashing blows at him. In between our clashes I lunch forwards and stab him solidly with the point of my blade, this will cause wounds that will gradually wear him down. He's not hitting me. I think that he has become frozen (?) and I start hacking at his arms and hands and it's like hitting thick ice, little pieces slowly chip away. At one point we're scrambling up onto a raised platform and I loose the grip on my weapon which at this point is like two round concentric shields. My opponent reaches for them but I manage to grab them back.

I didn't sleep too well last night. I went to bed around 00:15 because I really wanted to finish the book I was reading and woke up somewhere between 06:00 and 07:00. I told myself I shouldn't get up to pee, because everytime I do I have trouble falling asleep again... which is exactly what happened after I got up to pee. I did eventually sleep another hour or 2.

Dream 1
I'm at the airport, about to head back to the Netherlands from Indonesia. Me, my girlfriend (who lives in Indonesia) and some others are standing at the top of one of those ladders which is mounted on a car. I look down and see some luggage, including my 2 items. Glad to see that they're actually going into the plane. I feel sad. I didn't expect that saying bye would be this hard.

Dream 2 This dream was about Game of Thrones. Don't think there's much spoilerish stuff about it, but just in case.

Spoiler for .:

It's basically like watching tv, because I am not taking part in anything. Except the tv is all that you see. The scene takes place in a big room. It's difficult to describe, but the colours of the room were brownish and gold at least. Cersei is sitting on a chair. She is openly arguing with Marjorie in front of everyone. Marjorie pushes a kind of small pillar into Cersei's lap, letting her know she's had it with her. She turns around and starts to walk away. Angry, Cersei orders for her to be arrested and taken to the High Septen (or however you spell that). Soldiers come out to take her. Tommen shouts for them to stop, but they don't. He shouts that they have to listen to him because he is the King's Hand. He walks after them while shouting it, barely passing an older man (his grandfather?), wearing a green vest. This man calmly states that he is not. I am confused by Tommen's statement that he is King's Hand (because he is the king).

Dream 3
Again like watching television. There are two rows of brown, sober desks, standing behind one another. Each desk has enough room for maybe 4 people. It's a sort of council. The image that pops up is Sam (from GoT) wearing a brown monk's robe. One man is standing in front of the desks. There is to be a vote on several matters, but the men behind the desks refuse to vote. One of them stating that he'd vote in favour of what the guy in front of the desks is saying, but that they swore not to vote. These two desks are called the Low Chamber. The view then changes and I see at least 2 more rows of desk (though I think there were more) behind the first 2. They are elevated and called the High Chamber. Here too men are refusing to carry out their duties. To the left of the desks are two big whiteboard: one for the HC, one for the LC. The man writes something on the HC one, a shitty task to be executed by the man who stated that the HC refused to cooperate, as a form of punishment.

Dream 4
I'm sitting on a bus, laptop on my lap. I get an incoming message from my cousin who lives in another country, though the interface doesn't resemble anything I use in real life (such as FB). She tells me that it's an emergency and asks me where the key to the house is. First I think something happened to the youngest of her children, but she tells me that her child is fine. She tells me there is a fire inside the house and that she needs to get in. I try to type, but I can't hit the right keys due to all the bouncing of the bus. Which house is she talking about? Her house? No clue where the spare key is. My mom's house? There is no spare key!

Dream 5
There are two short and small brickstone walls. About 1 meter high, 2 meters in width. Behind them is another 'wall' that's only a few centimeters of the ground. They're lined up behind one another, perhaps a meter in between. There's also a streetlight just a few centimeters away from one of the walls. This is a perfect spot to practice some parkour. I hold on the pole of the streetlight and swing around, landing on one of the walls. I carefully and slowly jump around a bit, landing on my right leg, as I'm aware that my left leg is injured.* At one point I stand on only my right leg and am slowly coming up from a sort of low limbo position. It is at this point that I'm defying gravity.

I think there's a chance I might've become lucid here if the dream had not ended.

* Remember that knee surgery I talked about?

I was in a department store which was more like a big multi-storey carpark. I was irritated that they had made the lanes so narrow. I drove to one level and bought some cigarettes (I don't smoke). the cashier was really friendly and thought I was only 18. As I paid for them they turned into a banana and the cashier said how nice it would be to relax with the banana and to smoke.
Then I was on the top level of the carpark looking for somewhere to park whilst I waited for my wife. There were some tiny parking spots located up on the wall and I decided to try parking in one. The next bit was bizarre - I was trying to lock the car into place and I was then locking a crash helmit into place instead and then a boy's head was inside the helmit and he was my son and I started talking to him.

I was making a salad, and my children's headmaster was watching. I started out on a cake cooling rack but it fell through so I washed up a plastic bowl and used that. Genesis was playing on the radio.

I was crossing a road and was annoyed with a driver so stood in the middle of the road to annoy him even more, but he just drove around me. I was furious.

Notes:
- Tom Cruise must have been a lead character or something; I have this picture of him over an overgrown metropolis under a sunrise burnt into my memory.
- Everything in this dream had detail; everything had history to it. Materials had science behind them and every place had some sort of story. It was very vivid.

[Plot 1 begins]:
Here's the gist of the setting: I'm in a movie that one of my best friends recommended to me; it was a mixture of Interstellar and Space Marines. Essentially there were two factions in the world (far in the future): there were those who wore Space Marine suits like the picture below (they weren't called that) and those who didn't (typically regarded as poor).


There was peace between these two powers for the moment, but not for long. An ancient relic in an abandoned building defined this relationship. But I was going there to do something with it.

I'm moving in with a good buddy of mine (who I don't actually know) on the building. We’re dressed in Brink-esque clothes. A bobcat kills an opossum and then tries to fight us. We kill it.

Then we were in the building, and the relic was in some old refrigerator or something. Then Tom Cruise in his armor steps in, and we negotiate and talk about what doing this means for society. The discussion was deep and beautiful, but I wish I could remember more.

[End plot 1; plot 2 begins]:
I dunno, we were kinda wandering around in my house at night… it felt like “we” but I think it was just me.

I don't know why, but it felt like something was off; that the house was eerie. I was just wandering around, but when I looked into a room without the lights on, I could faintly see these demonic "silhouettes" of my parents staring at me like the picture below. In an Alan Wake-like manner I was able to "erase" them by shining a light at them.

Dream - Riding a lawnmower
This dream was pretty cool, I seemed to be sitting on top of a push motor-lawnmower that's being pulled along the road by a car that my dad is driving. In my head I was thinking it was similar to how you sit on a skateboard and just roll downhill or something. The road I'm on looks to similar to an area where I lived a few years ago. The road is long and straight at this point and it starts sloping uphill. We pass by 2 high school kids who must have just finished for the year, they were wearing red + white letterman jackets. Further up the road we passes by 4 skateboarders who also must have just finished from a different school. They were wearing purple + black letterman jackets. After passing them my dad slowed down a bit, there seemed to be a red helicopter landing on the road with a red car next to it. Things got a little chaotic, as we pass them I turn to look ahead at the car my dad is in, except now it's a helicopter too and he's flying higher and higher. He can't pull me along any further as there are trees obstructing his path ahead. He circles back behind and lands, kind of dragging me along with him. Next time I look at him, he's driving a car again... I don't know what happened but I wake up after this.

Worst sleep last night, insomnia kicked in so I'm feeling pretty ragged today. Surprised I even recalled a dream

This was a lucid dream but I only remember bits and pieces now it was so long. I prayd again for a long ld and got one. Before it started i was meditating and all of a sudden I got this intence vibrations in my body and could hear a vibrating tone, it was followed by a floating sensation I felt my soul leave my body ever so peacefully I did not resist I let completely go.
I found my self traveling through a worm hole or something the sensation felt so good unlike anything I've ever felt. Then I was in this huge house it was a mansion. I was siting next to my mate on a stool.
She came up to me and whispered in my ear. I know you know about what happens behind the scenes or I know you know what gifts are in store for you. (Cuz I know about the hiden cameras. And I know about what I have earned. Ether hear or in the next life.)
She told me this place has been given to you for your good work. Or somthing like that. She took me in a room with another special gift I rather not say.lol they were throwing a suprize party for me. then we all danced on the dance floor there was a mini club inside. but after that I checked out the house after that I was in shock how huge and nice it was.
I was exploring the rest of the place. In another room I met the most odd creatures ever. I say creatures for they were not human. Their body looks human but thier heads were wierd. They stood about a foot and a half tall. One looked like he had a scrunched face not deformed or ugly or anything. And he wore a blue suit with a red tie and a pointy hat. He was writing stuff down on a chock board standing on a stool. The other one was wearing a freaky blue jungle mask.
They were very nice. But I asked the one with the mask if I could do somthing to him. He said sure. His mask had a mean look on the face. So I waved my hand acrossed it and turned it into a happy face. Oh much better I said. He seemed pleased. I felt these two were a guide of mine of some sort. Maybe a teacher kind of sort very smart little dudes they were. After this my mate bumped me and I woke up.
