I believe this dream started with both me and my husband walking in a neighborhood, and we got attacked by ducks, yellow ones. Later in the dream my husband left and it was just me though with the ducks. I got three of them which attached to me and would not let go. I tried running as fast as I could with ducks attached - two were attached to my legs and one on my back. Then I came to a place where there was a trampoline, and I tried getting rid of them by jumping up and down, and then lying down on top of a duck and smothering it, and getting back up. I managed to get rid of two of them, but the one on my back kept holding on. I came to a group of men who were sitting outdoors, and I asked them, "Any idea of how I get rid of the duck?" One of the men said "Predetor" That's when I noticed that there were big dogs circling me. One big black one came close. I said "Go ahead take a bite." He took my hand in his teeth. I said "Not me, the duck!" He seemed to understand because he let go of me, and grabbed the duck and got it off my back. I figured he deserved to have a duck dinner.

Before this dream I remember remembering a dream and I remember making the effort to recall it, but I did not write it down! Grr!

Began fully lucid in my own room. Left the house and encountered an ice cream truck, with people lining up at it. A police officer tried to stop some imaginary disturbance, but was shooed away by everyone. Somehow made it to college where the police officer was back, but had devolved into a black comedy relief style character. After a few misadventure, which I can't recall, I left him and woke up.

Brief awakening followed by a return to lucidity where I returned to my house to find my mother talking about college grades. After a while, I left her and went back outside. Tried in vain to fly, but was successful in phasing through the ice cream van. Tried to go to the zombiu world, but instead transitioned to a vaguely digital style platform floating above a stormy sea. To the left were other platforms, which I effortlessly flew to this time. I discovered that the architecture, which consisted of two flower beds and a series of purple cubicles I identified as lucidity help machine, were all made of lego. After destroying the flower beds and collecting studs, I woke up.

00:45 bedtime

03:39

+ the judge on the train car is distracted by the girl walking outside, people are paying for things at their places at the cafe

+ getting into a helicopter, thinking about altitude

05:57

+ (major face palm, swore out loud at this recall) spend time with a guy working on the aurora iwinks talking about ld count, remee settings, see his circuit boards. I'm lying in a bed in a room, I'm watching the progress of a woman outside I'm watching her through curtains, maybe she'll get into the tent. I pull the curtains aside and look outside and I see a ring of people wearing white crowns in a circle it's some religious ceremony. I'm standing in a circle of people normally dressed we're doing some sort of routine/dance, going left, going right, then "bumping" together in the center.

Sitting down in a row of chairs I notice another guy sitting close by in another row perpendicular to mine -- his clothing is highly bright and patterned, and I see the words "Aurora" and "iWinks" on his clothing, like an advertisement. I'm excited to see this and talk to him, telling him "I've just had my 46th!" (meaning lucid dream, I'm sure he'll understand he must be into lucid dreaming, too). I take my remee off my head? My wife comes by and kisses me on the cheek, I give the guy the "ssssshhh!" signal so he won't tell my secret. My wife leaves playing / dancing with a young man.

I'm sitting in a dark corner talking to the Aurora guy, I'm saying I'm waiting for the iWinks because it has (and we say in unison) "REM detection." I start talking about my remee settingg. We're now lying in bed (mattress on the floor) in his apartment side by side still talking about remee, I think this is a bit strange and gay, I wonder what he thinks of it. He's now with a friend on the side of the room hunched over something working on it, I "recognize" the other guy (false memory) and think I know both these two guys. I'm talking about my remee settings and he interrupts me and says that some famous guy ("Steve"?) says that 3 hours is the best interval. He offers to program my remee there's an unknown setting he has a circuit board he designed to do it. I see the circuit board it's about 3 inches by 3 inches, I wonder if he built just one or if he bought a bunch of them in bulk. I see his remee (a portion of it) strapped to his board, I see another one and pick it up to look at the label to see if it's mine.


+ kids are sliding down a snowy hill decorated with colorful lights

+ college housemate reunion I don't know anyone think about posting my years there a former housemate disagrees with me about when I was there he's only half right I calculate the years. There are young men and young women, they don't recognize me, I look at them and seem to recognize one name. I ask if they knew NI, the physics student, a good friend of mine. I think I should post the years of my attendance on the doorway to help people place when I was in the house, I think the full 4 years of college, CL (who was a housemate) says no, I realize right only the 2nd 2 years since 1st year I was in the dorms and 2 year we all lived somewhere else, he says no and gives another date range but I know I"m right this time.

I find myself semi-conscious and decide to attempt a FILD. Almost immediately I hear the crackling noise from my last SP experience. The crackling intensifies as I move my fingers faster, and I decide to attempt an OBE. This fails and I decide to try to visualize a new dream instead. However, this too fails and I find myself awake. In my childhood bedroom. My friend T is trapped in a glass box on the floor and is screaming and beating on the side.

I realize the FILD worked after all, but I'm still scared. I leap out of the bed, screaming "I'm having a lucid dream!" I trip over something and find myself in the void.

I decide to try a trick I picked up from CanisLucidus's dream journals and imagine swinging a sword around in one arm. I begin to hear shouts and clashing steel and wonder if I'm going to end up in the Coliseum. I'm not sure if I'm ready for something like that, and soon I end up right back in the hallway outside my childhood bedroom.

I realize I'd better stabilize and start looking at my hands. I feel stability slipping away, and since my last three stabilization attempts lead to early awakenings, I decide to just skip it and go for my lucid goal: eating a Krispy Kreme burger and drinking an IPA.

I fly (perhaps literally) down the stairs, briefly marveling at their similarity to the real ones. I decide the burger won't be in the fridge, since I don't want to microwave it. Rather, I think to myself, "that's right, my parents said they'd leave it for me on the piano bench." I go into the living room, and sure enough, there's a greasy white bag with "Krispy Kreme" written on it. I pick it up and it feels pleasantly warm.

I consider taking a bite right there, but I want that beer to wash it down. I go into the kitchen, expecting it to be in the fridge. But there's no beer there. I try to make my expectation more specific: "OK, there's a Flying Dog IPA right in the ice tray in the freezer..." I open the freezer door, and the beer is right where I thought it would be. I take it out and wake up.

Not trying to stabilize seemed to help prolong the dream here, although I got the impression that the dream wasn't particularly vivid. I wonder if I'm doing my stabilizations wrong: perhaps focusing too intently? Anybody have any ideas about what to do differently?

Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

Dream 1

I'm inside a abandoned house which looks old but classical to an extent. I feel a little creeped out by look of the house and the fact that it's empty and abandoned. I reach a room which has metal panels which I thought, may have had computer technology attached to it.

I'm now sitting on a couch with Kayley in the lounge room of the house and her dirt bikes riding outside. Kayley mentions something about them.

People start to come inside the house as if it's a party. I see Tilly from the reality TV show Big Brother, and others that myself and Kayley recognize. We both look at each other as if we know and secret which no one else in the room knows. I get up and greet Tilly, by shaking her hand i think. The other guy we knew is sitting at the table with us. Kayley greets him and says his name by accident. He's name was Matt. Matt is surprised that she knows his name and is a little suspicious.

I begin to become aware inside the dream at some point. I don't think I did a reality check.

I'm looking through a beautiful stained draws. I open up some compartments with another DC. I compliment the look of the piece. She doesn't mention anything back to me, and is just standing near by. At this point I'm pretty much lucid and my animal instinct kicks in [i really gotta kick this out of my mind when lucid lol] I begin to seduce her by touch her feet and stroking them very lightly. She is now caught in my intentions and begins to take her clothes off. She's down to her underwear and I feel it's time for me to lay down and bring her into me. Dream ends.

Dream Fragment:

1. I'm outside doing something. Think it was linked to previous dream.

2. I'm laying on the ground and Jade is laying over the top of me with her breasts in my face. They have a bad odor smell to them. I tell her that they smell.

Dream 2

I'm walking towards the train station via Daryl's street and seem to be off to the shopping center. I realize i forgot my bike and seem a little unsure if I should turn back or continue walking. After if-ing and are-ing I eventually decide to head back to get my bike. As I'm walking back I see a girl from my school Jess. She has very blonde hair, you could almost call if white. We smile as we pass and I decide to do a reality check by looking at my hands. I notice I have extra fingers but it doesn't click with me straight away and decide to do it again and count. I have 7 fingers. I try not to get overly excited as it's my first time being lucid in 5 or so months. I see Jess walk passed again with someone else but I ignore them and decide to stabilize the dream. I rub my hands together, spin and even shake my head, but the head shaking my head feel off. I'm in a room with about 4 of so DC's. I'm a bit overwhelmed of what to do in my lucid dream. I walk up to a DC and annoy him a little. I try to talk but my voice is slurring as if I've had a stroke. Dream ends.

Dream 3
Recorded at 7:40am

I'm back inside the abandoned house in the kitchen. I'm already lucid and don't think I needed to reality check. I see a man which seems to be a teacher of lucid dreaming or maybe just giving his 2 cents on what was happening. He tells another DC the reason he became lucid is probably due to the fact he was excited.

I have a water bottle in my hand and decide to pour it over my face to see if it helps stabilizing which didn't really have much effect except a slight feeling of cold when pouring it. I see Sabrina from a talent show "The Voice" Australia. I find her attractive and pull my non hard dick and slowly put it in her mouth (face palm). Before I get any pleasurable sensations, I awaken.

Side Notes:
Woke up a few times and had a headache, which kept me up a little, which may have played a factor in being more aware in dreams.
I try to DEILD my way back into each dream but I seem a little impatient and cut it short. I did see light flashes at one point. By me trying this, it may have played a part in my awareness in the upcoming dreams which gave me lucidity.

Non-lucid
I'm on my sunset walk with AJ, Cali, Izzy, and Charlie. We're at the last portion of the nature trail when I look where the woods should be, and there isn't a forest! Instead there was a hill.
I crawl up it, and look down. At the bottom of the hill is a huge blue house with white trim. There's a big burly man around the side of it, clearing out brush. He faces towards me. I quickly duck down and scamper away.
AJ was playing with the cats on the ridge opposite. "Hey AJ," I say, tablet appearing in my hand, "come watch this video." It's entitled "Stoppibility" and it's about a young girl who dresses up a witch and does bad things.
There are nicely trimmed bushes lining the gully in two rows. A weed whacker appears in my hand. I try to cut the hedges but the weed whacker phases right through the bushes! I realize I have to destroy them, because there's a demon in Cali.
AJ finishes the video, and we run to the playground with Charlie and Izzy in hand. I climb to the top of the playground to see the sunset, and see a woman with blonde hair stumbling down the hill after us. But on the horizon are gray fluffy clouds with an orange light pouring onto them from the setting sun. "I will make you patriots!" the clumsy woman yells.
Then, I wake up.

(I had this dream 2 months ago but it was never published although I thought it had been.)

Everyone on DV decided to meet. We all were at an organized event in a type of multistory motel. I remember seeing all of our names on a list. The leader of the event was my Spanish professor from last semester. I was in a room with four others cleaning or helping with something when there was an earthquake. It shook the building and we were very afraid something might happen, but the four of us stayed there to accomplish what we were there to do. Honestly, I don't think we could have moved if we had wanted to. The leader was calling everyone to assemble somewhere but we disobeyed the orders. One person in our group died. They might have been murdered by another person in the group who had fled out through the window. After the shaking stopped, we hurried to where the rest of the DV people were and were put in order in different rooms based on the list of our names.

Then another earthquake struck. This one was much worse. All of us were stuck in our rooms and couldn't see what was happening outside, but eventually, the shaking turned into a shift in gravity. We were pulled sideways and it seemed that the building had fallen over on its side. I ran over to an open window and saw that outside, as far as I could see, was the ocean. How did we get to be floating on the ocean? For a brief moment, I assumed that the earthquake had opened a deep fissure in the earth which had caused water to gush out and fill the land. I jumped out of the window and saw that land was just a short swim away, a few meters, actually. On land I noticed that it looked like a vacant lot, but it was very rough with ditches and piles of dirt. There was even junk laying around in it. It was almost as if the building had been torn straight from this lot. Around the square dirt lot were other buildings and houses. I looked back at the floating building and noticed that when I had jumped out of it, my momentum pushed it backwards and it was now floating quickly away from land. It wasn't too far out yet, so I jumped back into the water and swam to it. I then grabbed onto it and swam back to land pulling it with me, which was surprisingly easy to do. When the building was safely grounded, the people all came out and were like, "Yay! Noell saved us."

Hahaha, I think I've been spending too much time on DV lately.

7:32am wake

It took me forever to remember this fragment so obviously my recall today is not good.

Multiple times in this dream, i would have to run into a basement to do something. It was so dark that usually i used night vision. It was a brick walled room with medical beds everywhere, patients from outlast, and every time i went there these three ghosts would appear and i would have to avoid them. I would have to run across the whole room to a white light and get it, then run back through the same room.

07/26/14 DILD. Nice long DILD with lots of scenes and DC interaction. The coolest aspect of this LD was that I ended up in a setting where a female doctor was conducting an experiment involving inducing LDs. The idea was that she would inject a drug in my neck that would send m into a deeper dream. I would have an LD and be able to tell her what I was seeing and doing, and she would record it all. I went along with this to see if I was stumbling on a new way to improve my recall. I got the injection and suddenly was in another dream. I was walking down a rode and it felt different. I went through many scenes while calling out to her what I was doing. At some point I woke up from the deeper dream and was back in the office. I had actually tried to wake up, but just back into the first dream.
She showed me her notes and all I saw was lines of symbols and numbers. She seemed so proud that she had documented everything for me. I told her I could not read the chart. She pointed to one line and said this is such and such a scene with those 2 DCs. OK, perhaps this idea was not going to work. It was interesting though.
Next plot points were revealed in which a female assistant had tried to hypnotize me while I was in the other dream, so that I would fall in love with her.

Last night no LDs yet but I can just feel it being so close that I might be writing my text in red next night again, if you know what I mean...

So today I was sitting in the car waiting and I had this idea about how I could enhance my RCs and do them with more awareness. This is what I ended up doing, I closed my eyes and imagined myself being very tired, laying down in bed and falling asleep. I open up my eyes again and imagine the current situation (in this case sitting in the car) to be a dream. It felt very weird and I was actually questioning myself wether it was a real dream or not, I think this is very good for doing RCs with a true doubt and awareness.

Anyway, the dreams which weren't that interesting.

1. Weird RPG

I'm playing some RPG set in a post apocalyptic world, the map is mostly mountains covered in snow and ice. I roam around until I jump over a mountain and nearly land in a small camp of other players, they start shooting at me the moment they saw me. I run away but get hit a few times, I feel quiet stressed and don't really know where to go next.

2. Leave!

I'm with my family in a car and we're driving out of a city, somewhere in the middle east I guess. There's a war going on or something. Very blurry and not vivid.

3. Something with wood

I walk into the old large garage our house had some years ago with a small hand axe in my left hand. My sister and dad walk next to me and I think we're heading for the car in the back. First I intent to chop down some trees for wood that my sister needs I guess. there are some small dead trees in the garage to seemed to have grown straight through the concrete. I chop one of them and a small part of the axe's handle breaks, I throw the piece away and continue chopping, it lands on the ground in thin plates. Then I suddenly look at a map of Spain and Portugal. My sister lives in the center of Spain and I live at the border of Spain and Portugal. My quest is to deliver some wood from my home to my sister, I look at myself from a 3rd person view. I can only walk for a certain amount of time indicated by a red bar in the top right of my view, it quickly fills up and the screen starts mildly flashing. The walk from my home to my sister is probably 50 meters if I recall that crossed a city and a market place. When I stopped at my sister's house she opened and accepted the wood, it was getting dark and I thought it would be logical if she was to let me stay for the night. She let's me in and the house is one large room that is mostly empty but somehow very cosy. It has a Spanish look to it and some carpet on the floor.

School Kids

I was with some of my oldest school friends, and we had decided to watch a video one of our parents had taken on our first day of first grade. We hunkered down and started watching: there we all were, lined up in front of our first grade teacher's door... We all turned and waved at the camera, we were all smiling. I pointed at S and said, "look there you are! You were so cute, what happened?!"

He laughed and pointed at two of our other friends, naming them. I looked more carefully, and noticed that two of my oldest friends... weren't there. Instead, there were two people I didn't recognize. But they were with me watching the movie. "Where's R? And M?" I asked.

The others looked at me like, "who?" and I shook my head, dismissing my confusion as one of my usual misrememberings. I must not have met them until 2nd grade.

The next time I looked at the screen, it froze, and the next thing I knew, I was in that 1st grade line. Time was stopped for a moment, but started again, and all us children kept giggling and smiling. The two people I didn't know were talking in S and K, and I leaned over in the line to look for M and R. I didn't see them, but there was a little boy who caught my eye: He was wearing a suit of iron- or rock. I couldn't tell. It was some kind of heavy, strong stuff. He smiled at me and called me over by name. I assumed he was just a friend I had long since forgotten about (and in truth, I was starting to forget about having been watching the movie years later as I walked over to him).

"Kestrel, stay behind me, okay?" And he turned around, and I looked over his shoulder to see a group of children from a different school. They had devices of some sort, and I watched one of them lift a device and point it at my classmates and me. The boy in front of me lifted his arms and stood as a shield for me. I saw a bright flash and then wind and dust and debris flew past me. There was some kind of battle going on between my classmates and those other kids. The others were from a school nearby where they learned demonic cult magic.

They attacked for about five minutes, but because the boy in armor was there as my shield, I wasn't harmed at all. When the other kids left with lots of smack talk, he turned to me and smiled cheerfully. He then turned away and walked toward that other school.

The world froze again and started to blur. The boy was moving slightly, but everything faded, and a new scene appeared. I was at a new school. I had been transferred to the demonic cult school for some reason. It was all one large classroom in a cabin-like building. I set up a camera in the back corner because I was supposed to record my first day. I was terrified because of that attack, but I was also fairly oblivious about almost everything. I got into the classroom, and the teacher directed me to a seat in the back. I noticed with a start that the boy from before was sitting next to me. He smiled at me cheerfully as I sat down in my seat. To my left, there was a scary-looking boy. He was large and scowled at me; I recognized him from the attack. He kept messing with me, but the boy to my right threatened that if he kept messing with me, he would die a horrible death.

I don't remember much about what we were learning, but there was a presentation by one of the students. It was disproving something I had seen in school the day before, back at my real school. He stated that Jesus was fake and therefore Peace and Love were also not real. It was a depressing and scary presentation, and I wondered why I was at this school. The boy to my right turned to me and asked me if I wanted to get away from this place with him. I nodded and during break, we escaped. He led me to a door around the back of the school, and when I went through it, I saw a scene where someone was skiing down a mountain on someone else. So, instead of skis, he was skiing on a person. The skier said, "Don't worry, we're almost there!" Then I woke up.

(I didn't realize it until I woke up, but the boy was the Face, again. He was a kid so I didn't recognize him in my dream, but when I woke up I realized the metal/rock suit was the same one he wore in the very first dream with him in it)





Clumsy Kestrel

I was with a group of my older classmates again, and we were sneaking into a large building at night. We were spying on some people who were having a meeting in the building. We were all leaning over a ledge, and I fell over it into the room with the people in it. Luckily, they didn't see or hear me, so one of my group members had to go and get me.

I woke up slightly, and when I fell back asleep, I dreamt that I was watching myself fall over the ledge. I may have even dreamed that I pushed myself.

Journal Entry Lucid #65 Dream,Lucid, (Comments)
Background: I meditated before sleeping. WBTB.

Lucid Dream #65, day: 07/25/14, time: 3:32-5:47 Am"":
I was in a house. I saw enormous amount of people there. One of them fancy house parties. I saw mostly people from church. The lighting in the house was mostly blue. I then get introduced to some Muslims. All of them had hilarious names. I wish I could remember the names but I do know that the names either contradicted their belief or it straight out a stereotypical name. I saw my friend IN, he was just following us. They took us to a soccer field and they wanted to have a match. They tricked us and kept playing soccer by themselves. They didn't play with us because we sucked at soccer. (I woke up sometime and went back to sleep) I am on a rooftop.
I became lucid. I went down from the house and the environment became a maze of some sort. I started rub my hands to stabilize the dream. I am walking around making turn after turn. I see Xavier this weirdo:

He tells me to follow him and I do. He started talking nonsense about everything universe, and every other crap together. He takes me to a tunnel. I think it was a sewage of some kind. He spoke so much nonsense that I got confused to the point I became non-lucid but moments later realized what happen and decided to wake up.

Inside my home. I hear sounds from the backyard. My grandma tells me not to open the backdoor. It is dark. I am scared. I turn on the lights to see something already made it inside my house. Out of fear I became lucid. It was green creature, tall and fat. They broke through the window. I told them to leave. I then calmly walked in my hallway. I decided to do a back flip, more like flying and spinning in circle. Environment change, I see the actor for Charles Xavier, Patrick Stewart, he is driving a car. I mistaken him for Gandolf. I told him that when he did this shot he was in a green screen illusion, but now he is in my dream. He started to touch the environment. He tells me that, "how can you experience something that you have not experience before?" I started to touch the front window of the car. Touching the cold surface feeling the cracks. I was token away by all of it. I look up and it is my sister driving now.

(Walking on Wall): I didn't notice the shift in characters since I was infatuated by the details in the dream. I told her that Lucid dreaming allows us to experience things which we never did before. I then open the car door. I put my hand out and touch the pavement. It felt like brushing my hands against my bed sheet. I thought that is strange I should have felt paint. I started feeling a burning sensation on my left thumb. We are about to pass an exit. I thought ok that didn't work out as well as I thought but let me do something I never tried before, walk on wall. I told my sister to exit and stop the car. She stopped next to a tall building. I went to the wall of the building. All white building, made of marble tiles, which was strange but I already know it is a dream so I didn't bother asking. I then put my right foot up and I imagined that this was my new plane in which gravity would exist in. I then put my left leg on it, I could see the blue sky. I started walking directly up. I looked down and looked at my foot, I couldn't believe that I am walking on the wall. I look back up and I am in my kitchen. That is what the tiles are for I thought. I then went to my grandmas room, everything was there the shelf, the computer, everything. I now wanted to walk sideways. Same idea. I put my foot out and I started to walk. At first it was easy but for some reason I started to tilt towards the right or the floor. I then try to stay in the middle and I tilt to my left towards the ceiling. I am walking on the wall like a drunk wobbling back and forth. It became so hard that it felt like an abdominal exercise. I felt my leg and abs tense up. I decided to get back down. I ran into the living room and I ran across the wall. My sister told me to stop I will hurt myself. I then woke up.

By using SSILD this morning after waking up, I managed to fall easily back asleep. After some time of sleeping, I found myself in what seemed to be a rapidly retreating dream. Soon I saw myself standing in a light gray haze. Glancing around, I was minimally aware of fuzzy colors in the distance, but there was nothing I could make out. Instantly I realized I must be dreaming.

I asked myself, “Am I dreaming?”

“Yes, I’m dreaming,” I seemed to reply to myself from a distance. I did not doubt it, but I wasn’t overly excited, either, although there was a moment when I remember feeling slightly triumphant that I was able to have awareness in a dream for the very first time!

I felt a strange presence while I was questioning my wakefulness. It was like I had access to my mind, which was never possible before in a normal dream. Due to feeling bored and secluded in the gray haze with nothing happening, I unfortunately let the dream go, not on purpose, of course.

The experience was so unexciting that it took me a while after waking to believe that it was actually a LD.

Journal Entry Lucid # 64 Dream,Lucid, (Comments)
Background: I meditated before going to bed. I did WBTB.

Lucid Dream # 64 , day: 07/24/14, time: 3 something - 5:10 Am"":
I was an adopted child, I am in a house. I walk around the house and go to the bathroom. The bathroom didn't have a door. I left the house after finding my way to the door. I took a car, looks like my father's car, and I parked it outside just a block away. I came out of the car and I see a black guy walking in the middle of the street. At first I thought he said, "How's everything?", so I replied, "good!". He then babbled on, "I should have done this ..It is so simple just ask her...". I left him alone and started walking away. I look and see that the adopted house I am in is a block away from my house. I see a Muslim family come out of the house, a women with a hujab. I went back into the house and I see my sister in my grandmother room. She is listening to a song. I ask her to do something for me. She mumbled something and said, "After I finish this song". I then see a fly the size of a pit-bull on the window. It is tapping the glass with its mouth. I looked at it and became terrified. I called my sister and said, "Have you ever seen a fly that big? It is huge, we should record it to make sure that people believe us". My sister took off her headphones, and saw the severity of the situation. I then left her room to get a phone to take the picture. I realize that I am in my sister's room. I then realized, " Hey wait a minute, it's her dream". I rushed into the room and I see my sister struggling with a raccoon the size of a bear. I thought about it, "Her dream?...It is my dream".

After realizing that it is my dream. I see the fly break the window. So many things are happening at once. I wanted to stabilize the dream. I started spinning. I felt nauseous. I stopped and the raccoon disappeared. The fly was still there. I tried to do the spinning technique again but it only made me lose balance and lucidity. I saw the environment start changing and I didn't want it to.

#340 - DEILD - 8:38AM

I enjoyed sleeping in this morning and it seems that's all I was needing. I definitely remember becoming lucid prior to this dream but I just can't remember what all I was doing. I think I must have lost lucidity because I only remember the last part. The dream control in the LD I recall was unusually difficult.

Like I said I don't recall what happened before but I feel really tired. I am in some hodgepodge of past houses with some blue couch in it. I think that if I can take a nap might be able to get lucid again. After I lay down theres come dialog with my wife and the cat bothers me. I roll over to my stomach in some crazy position. This strikes me as odd and I become lucid but it wakes me almost immediately.

I try for DEILD but end up in a FA. I am standing halfway to the bedroom door and I realize this is a dream. I do several nose plugs to be sure and the dream crashes.

I am more alert now and I try a little harder to DEILD. Having just had a FA, I decide to visualize getting out of bed. I feel my dream body struggle then break free. I can't see well the first few second but the dream materializes quickly.

My son is in the living room watching TV by himself. I put both hands on his checks and say, "Hey, buddy!" He immediately starts crying. I feel bad that maybe I really astral projected and my ghost self is scaring the shit out of him in waking life. I decide the best thing to do is to leave. I look up and see the front door is open. Through the glass storm door I see a fully lit bright sunny day. My son is now clinging to me crying. I really don't want any part of this so I decide that the best way to get him off me is to phase out the glass.

That is not what the dream wants! Suddenly, I can't move. My son has my leg and I can't walk. It's annoying but I think that if I can just make it to the door I'll be free. Then, the thought occurs to me how ridiculous it is for a 2 year old to be so strong. This releases me and I freely open the door and exit; the need to phase has left me.

There are several cars parked at the curb and in the middle of the street like there was heavy traffic and everyone suddenly walked away from their vehicles. There is a truck in a yard across the street that seems to be changing colors rapidly. I ignore it for now. I think hard for a goal but all I can recall is that I just had a lucid before this. I start to think to remember but its taking too much effort plus I'm not sure I can trust recalling a dream while in a dream. It's an odd concept. OK goals All I can think of now is Sensei's competition. I don't remember anything about the point system so I just try all the dream control I can think of.

First I try my ice magic. I see faint ghostly blue orbs leaving my hands but they fizzle our rather quickly. I look at my hands to see if they are red like last time but they look vividly normal. Next, I try some TK but none of the cars will move. What heck!? TK is always easy!
Lastly, I resort to super strength. I walk up to the nearest car. It's an average looking sedan. Dark blue. It looks like that feminist girl's car from the discgolf course in waking life. I shout, "HULK SMASH!" as I leap up and land a fist on the hood. I impact sends my fist nearly to the floor leaving very little left of the engine compartment. This is fun! I go a step farther and do a hard leap on the roof of the car. The cab is completely compacted to nothing. Now, I leap from car to car smashing everyone. I feel like some sort of monster truck running over the cars.

Once that is done, I remember the truck. I summon it to a new spot with expectation. It's red for now but I want to see if I can change the color at will. I point and the rapid color rotation begins again. Red, white, then blue with some occasional yellow or orange. I can't keep track of it and it's slightly mesmerizing. I am almost in a daze but suddenly I feel the need to spit like I have an excess of saliva. without really thinking about it not being a dream, I spew it out on the asphalt. The liquid drains way in all directions creating the chaos symbol. I look away blowing it off as dream randomness but I pause when I realize how odd this is. why did I need to spit? Why did it drain away like that? Again I feel the need to spit, but this time I examine it less absentmindedly. I watch the liquid hit the road but it only pools normally this time. I smash my mouth it now feels really dry. I assume this is something happening to my waking body. I must be drooling! I laugh a little and the thought but try not to think about that right now. Time to move on.

I look around wandering what to do. Still thinking of the competition, I decide to gains some flying points. I push of the ground and rise just above the houses. To my right there is a tall red brick building like the ones downtown. I hover over to it and decide to play Spiderman. This time though, my fingers feel like they are touching wet marble. I resort to an Assassin's Creed type of climbing. It's taking longer and I think about shifting gravity just to get past this but I'm actually having fun trying to find ledges and support beams to grasp on to. I have a random thought about my previous dream where I was lucid. I sure was hard on Hellboy and Freedom Guy... What? What was my dream? I think about recalling it but I am afraid it will wake me. Save it for later. I continue climbing up using ledges and odd structures on the side of the building. How tall is this thing? It seems the building just goes on forever as I begin to wake up.
