1. [Non-Lucid]
I think I was watching TotalBiscuit review a game and he mentioned a place where you can play it.

Now I'm at the place, There are a few game cabinets/arcade machines with a few games on them, So I go to 1 of the cabinets that has the game TotalBiscuit reviewed and start to play, I noticed the screen on this cabinet is really dull compared to the others, there's another cabinet with the same game behind me so I decide to switch, the screen is good on this 1 but I encountered another problem...I can't reach the square red button at the far left.

Now I am looking for my mother in hoping that she has a stick or something so I can reach, It turns out she does and pulls a long stylus out of her handbag.

I return only to find some kid is playing on the cabinet I want, instead I go over and watch him play, he appears to be having difficulties so I try to help but he gets angry then points at the game name above the screen and I noticed that the name has changed, this isn't the same game I tried to play earlier, I turn around and go play on that other "dull" cabinet, it is no longer dull.

i cant remember were the dream started but i will put all that can remember.

i was on the street of a city no lights were on and i was flying around and then i saw a peacock man flying down the street chasing something so i followed him he was chasing another bird-like thing (not sure what) but i feel like the bird-like thing is in danger so i fire stuff out of my hands to stop peacock man it just gets absorbed into the feathers but he notices me
and changes direction to get to me when he gets close he starts talking (cant remember what he said) and threw a wand of sapient pear wood (from diskworld) at me i grab it and he flys at me i try to use the wand but nothing happens and he says
"it must not like you" and i stab him in the hand with it and run away i fell asleep on the edge of a building, when i woke up the top of the wand was chipped so i poke it and another piece falls off but its still attached and the whole wand just kinda unravels
later the peacock man finds me again and he wants his wand back so i stuff the unraveled wand into his hands and tryied to run but he grabs me and locks me in a top of a building then he leaves, there was a hole in the floor and i use magic to use it so see a top-down view of the city and i find peacock man riding in a swarm of monsters heading towards the bird-like thing
(he must really hate it) and that's when i woke up.

Today i dreamt i was in the kitchen getting some food, i heard a voice and it was the famous ricardo araujo pereira.
He told me How his daughter has been, and i was listening carefully, he told me the other guys were pretty good
as well.

hours slept: 4 hours

Dream Fragment: I'm just sitting and I notice my left cheek on my face is beginning to ache and sting. I mess with it and there's two small holes above two abscesses, I squeeze at them and cream colored puss oozes out, and it goes endlessly. I keep squeezing and squeezing. It's hurts to smile or make large mouth movements. I pinch the outside and inside of my mouth together with my index and thumb, I can feel a hard puss pocket. I think about cleaning it afterwards, but I become irritated that it won't stop emptying.

So this was from a few nights ago so I don't even remember when I got lucid, only that it was a DILD. I only recall thinking about the bonus task from January and not really wanting to do it. So I SOMEHOW came to the conclusion that the basic task was to "look at myself in a mirror or reflective surface, see my reflection, then cause the mirror to crack." Lol WHERE did I get that???

Anyway, I was in something resembling the Plaza of the Americas in Downtown Dallas, and I thought, "Hey! I can use the ice rink as a reflective surface!" I was up way too high to get to the ice, and thought about jumping over the rail, but didn't want to feel pain if I cracked on the ice. I was feeling incredibly lucid, despite my TOTM memory blunder, and saw a way to round the corner of the rink that would put me level with the ice, and an opening to the rink was there. So I ran to it, and entered the rink.

I noticed that there were ice hockey players practicing at the time, and they were so rough on the ice, that somehow the ice cracked in sheets and sunk mere inches below freezing water, right when I was trying to get to it to see my reflection. I had a moment of doubt about seeing my reflection on ice rink ice since it's opaque, plus the fact that it was now a bit under water. I plowed forward. I crouched down on the slowly submerging ice, looked down, and sure enough, I saw my reflection on a chunk of ice a few inches below the water. I looked at my face, willing the ice to crack, and it immediately split down the center with a crack!

Today, I recall nothing after that moment.

This is the longest recall so far

It's dusk in the city where I used to live. It's starts to rain and then pour down. I seek shelter in an abandoned lighthouse in the park. It had a large open room when you first walked in and stairs leading up to a bedroom. I go into the bedroom and sit on the dusty bed. The power goes out and the storm gets worse. I start to get really scared. I rolled of the bed and look underneath it, it's too dark to tell what under there but I freak myself out and run for it. As I am running out of the lighthouse I pass a couple of people who decide that they want to go into the building.

I get to my apartment stoop and I notice some young adults hassling this gay man. I am so frantically trying to open my door so I don't bother to say anything also I am paranoid they will attack me. I manage to open the door and I climb the stairs, which are spiral. There is one door at the top of the staid and I enter. This apartment belongs to a family but I sit down with them anyways. I am sitting on the couch and directly across there is a small table with two chairs where the wife and husband sit. They speak English but also speak Dutch periodically. They have two sons, one is around 9 or 10 years old he only speaks French. The other is in his twenties, he speaks English, Dutch and French. Anyways the wife takes a plastic glass fills her cup with wine then pours half into her young sons cup which was half filled with water. They are a happy family and we small talk for a bit.

I am then suddenly in a golf course with my old friend O. I tell her a storm is coming and we need shelter because we are in an open field with golf clubs. A women beside me starts trying to debate with me, telling me that there is no storm. As she saying this it starts to rain and continually gets worse. I give up arguing with her and grab O's hand and run. It's really poring down now and I notice we are walking on a metal grate. As soon as I realize lightening comes down and strikes the grate. We were just quick enough to jump off into a pit of sand. Metal still surround us though. O starts panicking saying we almost died and I just lie on my stomach in the sand, speechless.

After awhile we get the strength to get up and we was for a cabin, at this point it's already started snowing. There is a couple in the cabin and we make small talk with them. It's starts to become a blizzard outside and the power goes off. I call up some people who are in another cabin and try to tell them that we are in danger and to call rescue. The guy on the others line is drunk and just laughing at me. I am livid, I scream that we almost died and now we are freezing and being buried in by the snowstorm. It's useless though cause he still keeps laughing. I open up the front door and there is a rescue team. The snow is so high, we walk out in single file to the ambulance. I have no shoes on( of course) and so I am freezing.

We get in the ambulance but it turns into like a moveable platform. We go to the bottom and are instructed to put our feet on the wood ledge(which is so narrow). We lie down on our backs and are told to hold onto the two rescue team people above us. The platform starts to rotate vertically and I am panicked to follow the instruction but I mange. We are high up in the air and I am so scared will slip off but the platform lowers to the ground. There is a large crowd gathered and I push my way through them.

I go back to my apartment. The family is still there and they tell me to put on a blouse and skirt and come join them to watch tv. I get dressed in the other room. I grab my art supplies and go to the tv room. Now there I a party in this room. I climb up on the exposed pipes on the ceiling and manoeuvre my way back to the room I was just at. I see a construction worker behind me and he is impressed that I climb so well. We talk about the measurements of each room and I let him know about a secret platform.
Then I wake up.

Super quick entry. Last weekend I had an regular dream involving my grandmother in which something else made me lucid and then the next day one where seeing her triggered lucidity. Last night my grandfather triggered lucidity!

I had a romantic NLD early in the night...felt like puppy love...she was so beautiful and I was reassuring her...a little shy. Red head with faint, fading freckles. We moved our way to bed and sexual feelings and she changed to my wife. I then had a lucid triggered by my deceased grandfather...so strange! Grandmother last week: first, and now him and he's been gone over 20 years...woke up a little teary eyed and almost deild with a dream forming or possibly just HHs a little threatening at first so I laugh it off and feel myself waking up again. I kept my eyes closed and reflected on deceased relatives and interesting unexpected memories flowed in. 103

Journal Entry non-lucid #24 Dream, non-dream (Comments)
Background: I argued with my mother and when I woke up around 11pm and again at 2pm I couldn't remember anything.
Dream fragment 1, 4:13am-7:43am."": It was pretty realistic and gruesome. I thought I was watching news or something. This crazy lady in Africa was running around belligerent. She had a knife and was trying to cut people. Most people ran away from forming a circle around her. I turned around and turned back she grabbed a women by her neck and cut her neck straight off. I saw the eyes roll back the blood drip down from the women's decapitated neck. It sent shiver down my back. She laughed menacingly as the crowd looked in disgust. In one hand she had the head which she raised to the air, and in the other a child maybe around 7 or 8 years old. The child was terrified and was trying to escape. The women wouldn't let her go. I thought why don't they kill her already. Then a sniper shot her and it chipped her head across her eyes. She fell to the floor. The little girl was about to go to her mother, but the lady get up. She grabs the little girl. Her eyes were missing and you could see the chunk of meat was gone. The little girl screamed and the crazy women died. I thought why would she do that just to traumatize the girl.

-something about breaking bad airing again and I had to get ready to cook something.

Date: 24 Jan

Pre bed: 200mg val, 50mg B6

Wbtb: 1/4 latte

Wasn't very wakeful even though repeated mantras a few times, fell asleep rather fast, had a few non-lds I can't recall

DILD: I am having a tense conversation with this female DC I know. She starts criticizing me. I reply that as a revenge I will then do something to make her feel the same way she makes me feel with all her comments. While this is a rather habitual mental reaction, I notice that contrary to other times I don't feel anything at that very moment. Still, as part of my revenge scheme I take her and turn her upside down in front of all the DCs in the room to publicly humiliate her.

As I stare at her, I notice that she just stays there, like a motionless puppet and become lucid. We're in a very large meeting room with a long table in the middle and lots of DCs participating in some corporate event. I'm in a daring mood and decide it's time to defy social rules by getting on the table in the middle of this meeting. Then I almost lose lucidity being carried away by thoughts of how all of the world's problems may be solved by by issuing unlimited credit cards to the entire population.

I keep thinking about this issue as I leave the place and continue towards an unknown city center. There to help me focus more I shout out loud "I am dreaming". There was a slight instability so this helps me ground as well.

Then I remember the invisibility task and go in the middle of the road pretending to be invisible.There are cars coming from all directions but as soon as I pay attention to them, they hit the breaks and spin a bit. I turn around and the same thing happens again. Then I see this huge truck coming in my direction. I start waving hands, checking if the driver can see me. He doesn't hit the brake or slow down and the truck is quickly coming closer. I step to the side to avoid the impact. There's little space between me and the truck, my uncontrolled expectations cause it to fall sideways on top of me, where I feel this huge weight on me. I try to move and free my head, but this results in a physical feeling, which gives me the impression I have just moved in my bed. I expect to wake up any moment but get an FA instead.

I believe that I have woken up for real and the first thing I notice is this piano music coming from the outside. I'm actually in the neighbors where we used to live some time ago and look to find where the music is coming from. I see this girl that I remember (possibly from another dream but could be false memory) who got that piano there and something about her. As if that isn't enough, the balcony is crowded - many people in their 20s and 30s dressed with business attire as if attending some sort of event. I'm think this is just too much when I am trying to fall asleep and decide this can only be a dream, reminding myself that I was trying to ld. Can't member how, but it seems I lose consciousness after that and have another FA.

I think in the beginning, I'm looking from the window to see what's down but then the scene changes and we move to this wooden porch. I initially see this strange big animal that looks suspiciously like a DS, I can't tell what kind of animal it is. Then there is a smaller one and I'm still trying to identify the large one. I'm starting to have some real doubts about this and begin to count the animals, one now looks like a bear and can't remember the rest but there's four of them. I conclude this is a dream and go to interact with one of the animals. It looks like a very large black boar/tapir and as I place my hand on its snout, it bites me and it even hurts.

I move slightly to the left and examine the rest of the area, where I notice a number of elephant-like creatures. I think they are separated from the porch, but no cage, it looks much like in a zoo. At some point the elephants begin to distort in features, open mounts and start roaring very louldy in a generally unpleasant manner. I try to stop them by thinking I want them to stop, but nothing happens and more join the roaring event. I remain there staring at them as they do so, kind of calm, but there's also this deeper inner response to their roaring, which surely is what is affecting them. I think that the problem is exactly this feedback loop - I am thinking that they are roaring, therefore they continue roaring. Then conveniently, I recall the inivible task and think it can be applied quite nicely here. I think that I am invisible. To my genuine surprise, at this very moment all the roaring stops for good.

I'm curisous to how far I can take this with my supposed invisibility and turn around and try to sneak out, while carefully listening for any reaction. The dream fades.

Notes: I have reduced B6 dosage to 50mg as previously it made me too wakeful. Recent valerian series - characterized by difficult recall, lower lucidity levels and more bizarre occurrences, in particular animals.

1.01.14

Last night, bed at 10:15pm - 5am. Night before, bed at 2:30am - 5am.

As I layed down, I started getting flashes of images right away. I figured, I got REM rebound from short sleep night before.

Almost immediatelly, I got HH of geometric shapes. It was a large grid of black lines on white, as if back-lit surface. The squares were filled with strange, as if chinese characters. Few squares had a slightly bigger character in them, that was more like a graphic, not letter. As if old chinese stamp with maybe 2-3 vertical characters in them. Oh, I know, like an egyptian cartouche, only vertical.

Then all of a sudden I got scared. That's when I realized I'm wilding. I fell asleep soon after.

1.

I'm in a travel agents with two guys. They're trying to convince me flying is safe, but I'm having none of it. Suddenly I'm standing inside a plane that is taking off. I panic and tell everyone that we're all going to crash, but they stare at me blankly. The scene changes again and I'm looking through a large window at the plane which has landed. I'm proud that I've arrived at my destination.

2.

I'm flying over 19th century Glasgow tenement slums. Noticing that at the back of one of the tenements a door is ajar, I head down. Inside is a modern restaurant kitchen. Cooks are busy preparing food, and through an open door I see customers chatting and eating. Suddenly, Ewan McGregor strides in through the door. He is angry; apparently we're in love with the same woman. I tell him this is first I've heard of it, but for a second I think it could be a woman who works in the restaurant. Now infuriated, Ewan pulls out a toy gun and turns to start shooting customers. There is a massive bed sheet hanging from the ceiling behind him, though, and he slams into it, tangling himself up. He struggles for a few seconds before falling to the floor, still wrapped in the bed sheet. I laugh and call him an idiot.

Dream Fragment: I'm in this white kitchen, sitting at a white table. Someone is sitting across from me. My dream visual is behind their head and looking at what I'm doing, so I never get a good look at them. I'm eating cereal or something that requires milk because there's a milk carton on the table. The DC tell me we need to help the missing people on the milk carton so I pick up the carton to look and see three pictures of 3 missing people.

Time: Took a nap around 6am after sleeping too early the night before, woke up at 9 am

Who: myself, White, Eddie, Sommerer, Hinahon, Girl 1, MF Couple

Lost some memory, but girl 1 and I are intimate, we are having sexy times at various places in the huge house that has multiple bedrooms with full bathrooms in them. I remember there was another couple who was at the house with us, it could've been someone specific but I don't remember now. We were about to go to sleep and I remember trying to get a room alone with girl 1, took a little effort but she follows me to a room that has 2-3 beds in it. The beds on the left and middle are neat and havent been touched, but the one on the right closest to the large window with a view of future Portland is messy. I want the bed in the middle but girl 1 gets in the messy bed. We fall asleep, and when I wake I'm sleeping next to Hinahon, she's wide awake and looking straight forward, I remember her putting pressure on the side of my head with her elbow, almost like she was trying to push me away. I said something to her and remember some futuristic app that was on in the air that looked kinda like a slot machine but it had to do something with sleeping.

----------------------------

We're in the same place, this time we're in the kitchen area, at first it is me and eddie, and some others I can't remember, seems like we were arguing over what to do with a golden retriever. I say something cocky and White shows up and asks me if I'm talking shit and I get right in his face. We are grabbed on to each other as we go back and forth between the room. Eventually me and Eddie grab another dog that was covered in some sauce in kitchen that was a pup.

----------------------------

I'm still in the same place, this time I think I'm fighting with girl 1, I ripped her sweater off a coat hanger in her closet, she finds me doing so and I continue on. I think she chases me into a huge closet like a mall store that has vault doors in it. I see Sommerer walking by and assume it is his. We start going after his tables of sunglasses and neatly arranged clothing items and trash the place, I remember thinking this would be a good music video scene.

A VERY interesting thing happened last night!!!

I took a nap around 9pm last night, but I was unable to remember what my dream had been about. However, I fell asleep with a song from Harry Potter on repeat. When I went to bed for the night, I left the song on repeat again... and had a dream where I was showing my cousin my dream from the nap! The nap memory I was showing my cousin was slightly altered from how the real dream had gone, but it's pretty cool how music helped me remember my dream!

Anyway, dreams!

Nap: I was browsing the computer when I received a message. I didn't know who it was, but, for some reason, I thought it was a potential girlfriend. Then, I found out it was my cousin.

First dream: I was showing my nap to my cousin. I didn't show her the part where I thought she could've been a girlfriend of mine, but I showed her that I had received her message in a dream.

Second dream: I had met a friend of mine and we were in a car together, snuggling. Then, we realised we were in danger and that we had to move. I jumped to the driver's seat, but then I remembered that she's Scottish, so the seat would be on the "wrong" side for me. I told her I couldn't drive the car, so I moved from the seat and she drove it.

Third dream: I was also driving in this dream, but I was with my ex. She was being a bitch and I told her that I had NOT gotten back together with her to go through the same shit as before. She was like "tough luck, this is who I am", so I broke up with her, stopped the car and told her to leave. Oh, yeah, that felt sooo good!

Fourth dream: there was a family party going on. I was hanging out with my cousin, but then he had to leave. I decided to go upstairs, and then I was in what looked like a hotel corridor. It was raining and the corridor was flooding. Somehow, that was normal to me. I went to the hotel room that was my house and found out that there was water coming out of the wall and wetting all of our stuff. I called my dad and he was like "yeah, that's going to be problematic... we should start cleaning this up before your mother sees it, she won't like this". Understatement of the century, dad...

To Be A Wolf (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I am sitting in the floor beside my roommate's bed. We have both performed some sort of ritual to transform ourselves into otherworldly creatures. Alex is about to become some sort of undead dark lord, while I am going to be a werewolf. We know that the process will be very painful, but we are prepared.

Her transformation begins first. She clutches her arm and screams in agony as a green-gray bruise-like sheen begins to overtake her skin. I sit in the floor and awkwardly watch, knowing that people in the hallway are going to think she's being murdered. After a few minutes, her screams stop and the transformation is complete. "Look!" she says excitedly. "I've completely transformed."

She notices that my canine teeth are beginning to protrude much farther than normal. "Oh, your transformation is starting now, too." I go to the mirror and watch in fascination as my teeth grow sharper and more wolf-like. However, my interest is cut short when the pain in my gut begins. It feels like someone is grabbing my organs and squeezing hard. I fall to the floor, convulsing, shrieking with each stab of pain in my stomach. After what feels like an eternity, the pain fades and I black out.

*time lapse*

A month has passed. It is the full moon once more, and I am excited to experience being the Wolf for the first time, since I was unconscious for the duration of the last full moon. It will be much easier for me the second time around, I know. The only problem is, people know a werewolf is living nearby and they have formed a mob to kill it. I will have to be extremely careful not to get caught.

Unfortunately for me, it is summer, which means that the moon's power hits me early in the evening. I'm attending an outdoor dinner party with my mother when the feeling begins. I know I will turn soon. "I'm going to step out in the woods for a minute," I tell my mother. She doesn't know that I'm the werewolf everyone is concerned about.

"I'll go with you," she says.

"No. I'm going alone." I tell her firmly.

"Then you're not going at all!" she snaps.

I'm beginning to grow angry and a bit desperate. "I'm 20 years old. You can't run my life anymore!" I storm out into the woods before she can stop me. I take my wolf form almost as soon as I'm out of sight from the party. It feels wonderful! A sense of power and freedom so powerful is coursing through my veins, that I throw my head back and howl. The sound echoes eerily through the forest, sounding more dangerous than any wolf. Damn. I'd forgotten about the mob.

Someone comes crashing through the woods towards me--- it was my mother. She has a shotgun, pointed directly at me. I desperately try to signal for her to not shoot, but she can't understand me! It is too late. She fires the gun.

The bullet pierces through my stomach, knocking me to the ground. I'm too weak to feel the pain. As I begin to involuntarily shift back to my human form, my mother's look of realization and scream of horror at what she's done are the last things I experience before everything goes black.

To Be The Prey (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

My brother and I are standing in our back yard when we notice a chicken and a rooster down the hill. "Let's chase them!" I say excitedly. He agrees, so we take off after the birds. Using what little flying ability they have, the birds easily flutter out of our reach. Suddenly becoming lucid, I fly off after them. Flying, it's much easier to keep up with the chickens, but we still manage to lose them after a while. I also lose lucidity.

My mother has read a task in her scouting handbook that requires the participant to mark their favorite pages in a book and then leave the book outside to show the dogs. I think this is completely stupid and want no part in it. However, my mother is trying to make me complete this task. She is SO annoying that I finally concede, but when I walk outside with the book it occurs to me that the dogs will just chew it up rather than try to read the pages I've marked.

Irritated, I walk to the back of the yard where my dad and brother are sitting. I'm complaining to them about how irritating my mom is being when suddenly coyotes begin howling nearby. The dogs go crazy, and I decide to stir them up even more by howling along with the coyotes.

However, just before I start howling I notice that the "coyotes" are walking directly into our yard. "Woah, are you sure those are coyotes?" I ask my dad. They look more like large wolves.

There are two of them, and they both lay eyes on me at the same moment. They drop to a hunting crouch, growling furiously and stalking closer to me. One of them lunges. I manage to jump at the same instant, kicking the beast so hard in the head that he falls limp to the ground. My timing isn't so great with the other one. He barrels into me, knocking me over. However, I still have my grip on the book, which happens to be a pretty heavy hard back. I begin beating the wolf over the head with my book. It is a long a bloody process with such a terrible weapon, but I somehow manage to beat him to death. My book is now sticky with his blood.

I am irrationally furious that my book has been ruined despite not following through with my mom's asinine task, so I stomp off toward the hill to bury it. But as I approach the edge of the forest, I am at first horrified to see more wolves. However, it seems they are impressed with my fighting skills. They have come to make me an honorary member of their Pack.

The biggest, toughest wolf does not agree with this decision. He attacks me without warning, intending to kill me. His attack knocks me off balance, but I use the momentum to roll on top of him. There are no real weapons nearby. I somehow manage to get a hold of a deer's leg bone, which I promptly shove into the wolf's mouth when he tries to bite me. I shove the bone deep into his throat until he chokes to death. Upon dying, he finally accepts me as an equal.
