There's a set of boxes which, when arranged properly, will display a poem by Rumi; it's a game, a puzzle. Each box is engraved with a few lines, the trick is in figuring out the proper order, and there are hints, such as do not separate the loved ones, send the child to school, don't leave him to wander the shore with the mermaid and her knife. The last part is easy enough - one box ends with a line about water spirits, another box starts with a line about a child, I'll just be sure not to connect those two; but there are quite a few different lines that could be interpreted as 'loved ones.' A woman is sending a message to her employers, as a result of which the building she's in will be locked down and everyone inside will be killed, including herself and her two assistants. Her assistants are artificially-created humans, and display no emotion, but I'm thinking that the loss of their lives is just as important as any other life. A woman has just been teleported into a castle, somewhere very dangerous, by someone named Anna, and she's very annoyed about this. Although Anna isn't here, the woman yells about it anyway, on the assumption that Anna will be watching her with magic. It's not just the danger that's upset her; at any other time she would have killed to be able to get into this castle, but right now, she'd been in the middle of something urgent, and she really needs to get back to it, so she looks for the way out. A hooded figure appears and reveals a passage to her, a passage that seems to violate the laws of physics and which is filled with a seemingly endless line of graves, and he tries to speak to her, to guide her into that passage, but she ignores him - she's spotted the main doors. As she walks away from the graves and towards the exit, she passes a box with some marking on it that makes her think about dragons, thinking of them as the product of elemental spirits that gathered together and festered. There's a crowd of people leaving a castle - although the castle looks historical/fantasy-ish, the clothes the people are wearing are futuristic, as is the glass-enclosed walkway they're leaving through. A woman who works for the castle as a kind of hostess is escorting a small group of people at the head of the crowd, congratulating them for winning a spot on some vessel, and then she says to the rest of the people following them, "Good luck in the race!" By which she means - these people are following the winners because they intend to take their spots by force, and the moment they're beyond the castle's protection it'll be every man for himself. At the end of the glass walkway, the hostess leaves them, and the people pass through some barrier. The people in the walkway had seemed, not necessarily good-looking, but like people who put a lot of effort into their appearance: well-dressed, well-groomed. Once they pass through the barrier, this changes: they're naked, they look like they haven't bathed or shaved in months, more fat, less muscle. The castle was a kind of retreat, but everything it provided was an illusion; now that they've left, the illusions disappear. The people's reactions vary - most of them are shocked, but there's an old man who seems to have expected this with a sort of I-told-you-so attitude about it. There's a teenage boy with a bad knee who's particularly horrified, as he'd believed his knee had been fixed by the castle; he's complaining to his parents that they might as well have stayed home, at least at home they had servants. The castle had its guests doing a variety of chores, citing the spiritual benefits; now it's clear that was a scam. A woman's saying, "It must not have been a good reality for Vanessa and Vilya." 'Vanessa' is an alternate version of herself. As she's speaking, I see the two people she's talking about, sitting before a very large fireplace. Vilya suddenly leaps up, as if he's just been hit by some stroke of inspiration, and he rushes to a table set up with a variety of alchemical instruments. Three people in an underground room, grey stone walls lined with bookshelves. A woman and an old man who she's close to, and a young-looking man who made some kind of deal with them - I'm a disembodied observer, but I recognize him from my most recent lucid dream, as the 'future version of myself' who doesn't actually resemble me at all and who looks more like he's from the past. They've barred the doors in the hopes of giving themselves a little more time before someone arrives to stop them - guards or police or military, something along those lines, they're expecting some specific group and they know it's just a matter of time. But they've come to this room to find something specific, and there are hundreds or thousands of books here and no obvious organization to them. The woman's saying "Wherever (something) it'll take us forever to find it." The young-looking man had been sitting down with his eyes closed; now he opens them. They're glowing yellow, which startles the woman. He says, "I have found it. He has used the Britannica articles-" He continues talking, but I've become distracted by curiosity about that locating technique he just used; I associate it with a search technique I'd used in yesterday's dream.
A few weeks ago I had a dream and in it Keola asked me, "What balloons designs should I practice?" I said "super heroes!" When I woke up in the morning Keola was sitting in the living room twisting balloons. He had already made made spiderman, the hulk and was working on wolverine. That was really funny. I laughed and told him that I just had a dream about telling him to make superhero balloons.
Non-lucid So I was feeling my neck and then I felt a bump, kind of like an adams apple but at the bottom of the lump, it was sharp. And this little boy wals up to me and says "finish it". I was confused so I just tried to move the lump out of the way because I couldn't put my head down and it stabbed me whenever I did. So I just push it back and I turned short like a midget lol, then something happened and I woke up
Me my mom and my sister have just arrived at my grandparents house. It's nice daylight outside, my grandma tells us that she's had us over because she wanted me to do something. When we get into the house, my two cousin are there, I see one of them dressed completely like me, I think to myself "what a copy cat" but proceed to sit down on the couch and wait for my grandma. Everyone is opening wrapped presents as if an extension from Christmas. After everyone is done I think to myself oh yeah I didn't open one and then I see it on the coffee table and pick it up to open. I notice how it's beautiful matte paper with floral wallpaper like designs. I open it and it's and empty folding picture frame with strange hole placements for people faces of pictures. I tell my grandma thank you and them put it down and proceed to go outside for work, then I see my cousin with many more objects identical to my owning and I become distracted at why is he so blatantly copying me, and now he's beatboxing, So when his dad tries to pride him he asks me if I can do it and I beatbox some things he's never heard and they got quiet, I feel a little pleased with myself And I begin to try to get as far away from him lest he receive anymore information of any kind that might prompt him to imitate.

Starts in the mall again but different area. I'm with my sister and my grandma and grandpa, this authoritative woman is talking to us and giving us directives, she said we need to go into do something but come immediately back to state the results. But when we go into the empty powerless mall we go into a store together and instantly begin looting. everyone separates within the same stores and grabs stuff and shoves it in their pockets. I'm stealing shoes, my sister stealing scarves, my grandpa stealing watches but he seems against it a little, and my grandma is stealing the gummy candies in a candy glass thing. I go with my grandma to get gummy candy with her but then this metal wall drops and almost locks us in, I just watch it happen and see my grandpa yell for her to get out and her yell that it's stuck but then my grandpa just lifts it up a little like its a curtain and she goes under and out. Then we all realize we can get in trouble for what we were doing and this woman security guard comes and tells us all to get against the wall to check if we took anything, while she is distracted with my family I sneak away because she never saw me, then when she's done checking them I sneak back into the group and the woman asks me if she checked me and I said yes. then we are sitting against a wall awaiting for the woman from before to come and tell us something. I realize something is in my back pocket, I take it out and see that it's some sort of voice recording device one like Ive never seen before. I show it to my family but not my grandpa, they look fearful because we realize the woman has been listening to us and testing us if we've stolen, so I mess with the device thinking I should record over all that was recorded, but the controls and button were so complicated, and there were so many buttons on the front, back, and sides. Two pairs of each button but looked different, finally when I realized how to re-record somewhat, the woman burst in and tried to get it from me so I couldn't delete her evidence, she wrestled me on the ground trying to retrieve it from my grasp but I managed to get away and I ejected the tape because i couldn't re-record fast enough and i found a trash can that has fire in it and I threw the recording device into it and I threw the tape into it and it melted and the woman just fell to her knees, then I awoke.
*mormons reading from bible together, one of them compliments me on how far I am *swordfights, our weapons are kind of not very sword like, more like random stuff we found laying around *bo-staff breaking hardened glass - there is a dresser in the middle of a large room. I have a staff, and easily break the right side of the dressers glass, but the left side is like bullet proof, or exceedingly hard. I whack it quite a few times, and then finally I start putting all my rage and strength into my blows and crack it. Finally I back up all the way to the wall behind me (about 4 or 5 steps) and run forward and slam it with a powerful thrust that penetrates the hardened glass. Whoohoo. *underwater movie, weird creature with googlyeyes and I ask if we are in 5D while watching it. *1 vs a lot of guys with spears in a hallway, I am trying to get this one guy to defeat the mass of spear wielders, and apparently I have much faith in him. But after he takes on the first guy, I see he needs better weapons. *reality breaking, able to see 'movie theatre' with new vantage from broken reality walls, parental like figures tell me something like this is a disaster, and me the optimistic says well at least we can see the theatre screen through the now broken reality walls, they still don't appreciate it. Thats all I can think of, this was NOT lucid.
I'm in a mall with two people, some man and some woman. I see people being cleared out of the mall and everyone is panicking. Then the entire power grid goes down, and everyone is out of the building, but a security guard is skimming the area for people, me and the guy and girl decide to hide for some reason, we don't really have a plan, we just instinctively hide. Then we hear all the door getting locked up. The man walks off into a nearby store, and the girl and I start walking and you can see these victorian dresses in nearly all of the stores windows. She's swooning over different one's, I don;t care but point one out to her anyways, then she asks me to go get it for her, I tell her to go get it herself so she does. Then I feel a wall hit me from behind and I turn around and realize it's the end of the mall. I become overwhelmed with panic that it's almost too late and that I was supposed to grab something but I don't like anything there so I grab what looks like a black button up but when I turn it around it turns into a dress so I through it down and feel time counting down and I grab for this shirt up high but some man blocks me and stops me, and then we run but they get away without me and I'm stuck in a dark store.
I don't remember much from my dream during nap time, except that something made out of glass (chandelier maybe?) exploded, and glass rained upon me, and later it happened again - two glass showers in one dream, because clearly one was not enough.
Just a small aside; not even two weeks after rejoining I've had three lucids... Knew being involved here would do the trick! I had several small dreams last night, but they were dull so I'll cut to the chase. I am sitting on a red velvet couch in an incredibly elegant ballroom. Red velvet curtains twenty feet high have been drawn across all the windows, and beautifully polished wood pillars stretch upwards fifty feet to the cathedral ceiling. A glimmering chandelier hangs above the ballroom floor, casting a golden hue across the room. I know I am waiting for someone, but whom I'm not sure. Suddenly, a beautiful Latino woman tackles me off of the couch. Before I know whats happening, she begins hurling fireballs at me. I remember that I'm spider man, and I begin slinging around the room, even though my webs are invisible. Her flames are flying everywhere, but the room is impervious to fire or magic, as nothing catches. I sling some webs at her but they seem to have no affect. Finally, I hide behind one of the luxurious curtains and get a good look at her - gorgeous, and in a white dress with a large cleavage swoop and quite long train. The beauty of both the place and the woman jolts me into lucidity. As soon as I become lucid she lowers her hands, and turns to look me in the eye, smiling. Most dream DC's I encounter go still and brain dead when I become lucid, but not this one. I walk slowly out from the curtain and I am suddenly in a tuxedo, and I have the overwhelming feeling that this is my ballroom. "You're finally awake!" she says with a smile, which I must admit creeped me out. Usually in my lucids whatever plot was occurring vanishes, but not so here. "Dance with me" she requests, as the two of us embrace in fine ballroom posture. We begin sweeping around the ballroom in the most elegant waltz of all time. My heart is in my throat as I haven't had a lucid this clear in months. After a few moments of our sweeping dance, I try to recall the task of the month, and recall the basic one about asking New Years resolutions. The effort of remembering causes me to dance clumsily and nearly lose lucidity. I stop dancing to look at my hands and surrounding to anchor myself, and notice that the red paint of the walls has become a Christmas wallpaper of green gold and red. I look at her and her beauty makes me nervous to speak to her, even though I know its all a dream. I ask her her New Years resolution. Suddenly, she sweeps me up and begins to lead like I was a few moments before. She is leading so hard that she seems to just pick me up and hover me across the floor in an aggressive dance. She spins me and dips me like a lady and I take this to mean her resolution was to take control, whether it be dancing or something deeper. I find it funny that I am being held in a dip, and I allow myself to lose lucidity and wake up grinning. WHAT A COOL DREAM!
Background: I am writing this because I read that you should always write something in your dream journal. Well I went to bed after a 15 min meditation. I felt good afterwards. I went to sleep like always, but this time I tried to remember my last thought. Normally when I do the incubation I fail because my mind goes all over the place and my last thought is not about lucid dreaming. I didn't remember my last thought though. I woke up and moved around unconsciously. I tried to remember my dream, but nothing came to me. I waited and waited still nothing so I went to bathroom. I didn't let that get to me, so I did a 10 min meditation. I tried to go to sleep, I didn't feel like sleeping. So, I left and started reading Stephan LaBerg's book. I became too excited to sleep, so I stayed up. (from 8:30pm-3:00am) Journal Entry non-lucid #9 Dream, non-dream (Comments) Background: I meditated for 15 min and went to sleep around 9:40am. I did one reality check before meditation. Dream fragment 1 from 9:40am-11:51am" A suspicious Reality Check": I was eating some cracker with some people in my room. I am very strict about my room so I was telling them not to leave any crumbs. I then left them. I was with my dad, I did a quick reality check. I looked at my hands. I tried to feel my surrounding and it felt like a dream. The reality check failed though. I looked at my dad suspiciously and I said, "I swear it should have worked". He looked at me odd so I didn't pursue my thoughts. Dream fragment 2 from 9:40am-11:51am " Four Girls in the Boys' Locker Room": I walked into my old school locker room for P.E. I had half a doughnut with me. It was caramel and it tasted very good. This guy looked at it and he wanted some of it. I didn't want to share it because I felt hungry and ate it. I turned to go to my locker and I saw of friend of mine. He was bent over next to the bench and beside him on the floor was another guy. My friend was rocking back and forth, like a crazy person. I was like what is going on. I shook it off and when I was about to open locker he threw something at me. I said kind of irritated, "What's wrong with you?" He then made a joke about Africans. He said,"do you know what they do to conserve energy because they have no food, they don't even blink." I ignored him and was about to attend to my locker. Four Asian girls walk in the boys locker room, and no they were not hot what so ever. They were trying to take their cloths out of their locker and were speaking in some Asian language. I got mad and started mumbling things at them. They laughed and left. I looked at one of them and I remembered her face. I thought it was odd since I didn't see this classmate in a long time, I said,"Anna!?" The last girl turned around. Her face changed, I didn't recognize it though. She was now a hot brunette with glasses. I asked her,"were you in my middle school class?" I thought about the name, and told her the name. She responded with a no. I asked in suspicion, "Your name is Anna though?" she said yes. I took some time to think about the oddity of the coincidence. Dream fragment 3 from 9:40am-11:51am " Chemical": I was looking for some chemical. I found it but this girl in a bikini wanted the chemical. She walks away with it and I followed her. I think I looked at something that she owned that said dream yoga. So, I said you don't know dream yoga. She then proceeded to go backwards and do some gymnastic thing. I didn't want her to spill the chemical so I didn't question the fact that what she did had nothing to do with dream yoga. She then jumped in the pool with the chemical. I told at first in a relaxed tone to come out because the chemical is spilling. I assumed the whole thing didn't come out because it was powder and sometimes powder can act like a solid when compacted together. I then started yelling at her to come out. She came out but left the chemical in the pool. She was just standing there expecting me to go get it. I looked at what I was wearing, which I never do it a dream. I had some cargo shorts and shoes on. I didn't want to go in the water so I grabbed a stick. The environment was drastically changing. At first a normal swimming pool then it changed into a more chaotic kind of like a swimming pool blended with a pond. Then it changed into a small river. This old man showed up and said you kids are too lazy to get a stick. He tried to get it with a stick. I got a bigger stick and tried to get the chemical which was surrounded by corals and ocean stuff.

It's been a long time since I've been here, but I had a couple of dreams last night that reminded me how great it is to dream, so I'm starting up again. The dreams aren't necessarily good reads, but they were fun while they happened. None of them are lucid though. From this point on red is titles, black is dream events, and blue is periods of being awake. Stats class My statistics teacher is yelling at me for some reason, while we and the rest of my class are walking along a street for some reason. I start to drink a bottle of water while we walk. We "teleport" to his classroom. Now everyone has bottled water. The teacher opens his bottle of water, and then sticks the entire bottle into his mouth, starting with the bottom. The dream ends. Sledding I'm at a house I lived in a few years ago, where my dreams often are, and the ground is covered in snow. A kid named Nick whom I know in real life sleds with me while we drink some sort of soda. Some old teachers from our school are there as well, and we really wished they'd leave because they're boring and won't shut up. Grand Theft Auto I'm on a large, steep hill behind a billboard. I have an M4 with high powered optics. I am facing a road that makes an L shape from my perspective. The dream feels like I'm playing GTA 5 but with full control over my movements. The police are after me, and they're heading down the road towards me. I look through the optics on my M4 and see 2 police officers getting out of their cars as well as what appears to be a civilian with a pistol about 50 meters down the road. I shoot them and start running down the hill, fixated on a motorcycle that would be the Double-T in GTA 5 that appears to have crashed into the back of some sort of sedan. As I get on the bike and turn around, more police show up and shoot me in the back several times. I barely make it away and quickly find a jet that is on fire on the side of the road. I get a fire extinguisher from nowhere and attempt to put out the flames. Once I run out of whatever is in the extinguisher, the flames come back, the jet explodes, and I am dead. The dream ends. I wake up briefly. I don't open my eyes right away, trying to go back to sleep. I can tell it is early because there isn't much light going through my eyelids. I check the time, around 6:45, then go back to bed Offroad Motorcycle I'm on a supersport motorcycle of some sort, not the one from the previous dream, and I'm offroad for some reason. I come across a large concrete ramp that leads to another trail. My bike wouldn't be able to handle the jump, and I think to myself that a supermoto would be nice. A girl on a supermoto then comes down a path that leads to where I am at. She's going too fast for the turn and falls off the bike but her bike is still going. She gets up right away and is fine so I catch up to her bike to stop it. I get the kickstand down and wait for her to catch up. I ask if I can borrow her supermoto to do the jump, and she said no because she didn't want to risk it breaking. The dream ends. Bicycling, thievery, and vandalism I'm riding a bicycle in a place that starts off as being in England but after a while I forget about that part and it becomes America because I am American. I know it's England because of the strange road markings and because the disembodied voice of Dan Hardcastle (Nerdł on YouTube) tells me it is. I'm wanted by the police, probably because of what happened in the GTA dream, so I hide in a building that I found. I sneak through a water system that leads under a bank, get into the bank and steal gold coins, and then return to the building. I dry myself, get back on my bike, and start riding down a street. I see a weird small vehicle with a small trailer full of food items pass me. The trailer is moving in odd ways, as if it were glitching like in a video game. I inform the driver that there appear to be issues, but he ignores me. Somehow a friend of mine named Tommy is there with me now, and we follow the vehicle to a grocery store. We enter the store and see the man leaned up against the wall near the doors. As we go down an aisle, we joke about the man, and as soon as we go around a corner we start running. The man follows us, and eventually gets tomatoes and starts throwing them at as. I also found tomatoes and start throwing them back. Figuring I could really get this guy into trouble I start eating meats in the store. I try to vault over some aisles, but I'm not physically fit, not even in my dreams, so I end up taking them down as I jump over them. The man and we decide to stop fighting, and the dream ends.
I had like a series of dreams and they were all different. One of them was like this, we were in the supermarket and in the rows there were like people waiting in line just staying there and I put a cereal box in front of them and I think they were uncomfortable or something. The other one was really awkward and I have no idea how I refused to see the signals that were being given to me in order for me to become lucid. We were skiing and I met a friend, so we went to the ski lift and the path of the lift is obviously upwards, but awkwardly enough it started going to the left side which leads to another lift. So I went to this side and hopped on to the other ski lift which is a sitting one, so we were sitting on it, me and my friend and it was going really fast, it was crazy. And this is impossible but we were actually getting ahead of the other seats and it was going super fast. When we reached the top (in like 10-20 seconds) we went down and as we went down I nearly fell because I was going fast (which doesn't happen on that part) but I managed to control myself and stopped. My friend came behind me and he stopped as well. When he stopped we met my other friend's (let's call him friend B) uncle. As I started to ask him : hey, where's friend B?; I saw B and I went and skied towards him and when I saw him he was with his brother (he was under the ski lift I was on just before) and then I saw him with my cousin who's 14-months-old. That was really surprising and as I reached out to get my cousin and hold him for a sec my dream ended because my cousin (who's 16) woke me up.
I was being lazy and didn't write my dream down when I should so I just remember two small fragments. #1 My sister had a child who was seven years old I was so shocked cause I never saw her before. I wanted to get to know her and play with her. I tried to get into a butterfly costume to give her kisses( butterfly kisses) but it was to small and way too hot. So I I Just gave her regular ones. I gushed to my sister about how she had such a fantastic kid. #2 I was sitting on a stool at a bar trying not to fall asleep. A lady at the front of the bar was supposed to be new entertainment. She got a bucket of vodka and a bucket of compost and mixers them together. She poured shots and the customers were supposed to see how much they could drink. I got really angry and told the manager that it was a health violation and that people could get sick. Some people drank it but most just left the bar.
Found out now, that writing is easier for me than dictating, when in a semi-asleep state - and - using my multiple alarm auto-snooze thing - I didn't get lucid - buut - have fantastic dream-recall for four dreams. Got them in the book - won't put them over here - private/not interesting/being too lazy, the me - buut: Got to mention this adorable dream-animal I found and befriended. It was a bit like a rodent or squirrel - but the size of a dog. With fluffy and a bit reddish fur and a long nose ending in a cute little black knob - constantly searching about. It had whiskers almost all over and was vibrating with them and emitting a sort of purring - not exactly like a cat would - but similar. Oh yeah - and it wanted to cuddle and play all the time - and look at everything with huge black eyes also. I took it with me to that family I often dream of - and they all were delighted - didn't throw me out for a change.. I'd love to dream this one again!! Actually - have one for real would be great!
#270 - DEILD - 4:46AM I have a dream about my older daughter. She is trying to tell me something but I am trying to get back to bed to get lucid. She's holding me back and I become angry. There's lots of conflict. I DEILD with vibes again. This time I am in my house. I see my daughter standing in a doorway and then disappear into the dark room. I'd rather not follow so I call to her. After a moment she comes out and sits on the couch. I hug her and apologize for the last dream. I say, "Sometimes in a dream I am not myself. I'm sorry for the last dream, but now I am myself. This is a dream too, but my mind is awake." She seems to be falling asleep while I am talking so I say her name and give a little shake. I say with excitement, "It's lucid dreaming!" I try to infect her with excitement by radiating it into her. Her eyes open wide and she smiles with amazement. This makes me wonder if I am making a shared dream connection with her. Then She returns to being out of it and half asleep. I realize at that moment that maybe her DC was trying to help me become lucid in my last dream and I was acting like she is now, except I was overly angry. I have both hands on her shoulders when she suddenly vanishes leaving my hands hanging in the air. With amazement, I wonder if she has woken up. Then, my vision fades to black and I wake up.
