Ok, in this dream both me and my husband were totally out of character. During nap I dreamed we had expected our house keeper to just come pick something up or drop something off, and instead we came home to a half cleaned house. We said she could not stay and finish and that I would may her for the work done. Then my husband and I had a fight over how much to pay her. I suggested a price about half as much as usual (since it was half the work). At first I did not understand what my husband was saying, and it sounded like it was 10 times as much, but then he said, the other way around, ten times less. I said something like that is below the minimum wage, and seriously for three hours of work (she had not been there three hours but in my dream at this point I said she had). Then I said that my husband was being kind of "jerkish", not appreciating her work - and that's totally out of character in waking life. So then I suggested, why don't we suggest that she stay and finish the work around us, and my husband and the kids need to go somewhere soon anyway. I also remember remembering something else earlier from a separate dream, but forgot.
Dream of: 17 November 2013 (2) "Thralldom" My mother and I are in the waiting room of a hospital. Apparently I'm going to be examined. I'm not completely sure why I'm here, but I'm thinking I would like to find a whitener for my teeth which are in really good shape. I can see myself in mirror. I look young and healthy, but if my teeth were whiter, I would really look good. I wonder what would happen if I were to put bleach straight onto my teeth. I think I'll check that out on the internet. When a nurse walks up to me, I try to think of what I'm going to tell her. I think I'll say that I have a multitude of problems although I can't think of any maladies which I have at the moment. It seems as if I've had a bit of a cough lately. The nurse tells me to go into an adjoining waiting room, which I do. I wait and wait and wait, but the nurse never shows up again. Finally I stand up and walk out. Now I can't find my mother. I don't think she would have left without me, but nevertheless I walk outside. I see that I'm in Portsmouth in the Bonneyfiddle area on the west end of town. Since I think my mother has a house on 7th Street on the east end of town, I start walking in that direction. When I reach 5th Street just east of Offnere Street, I come across an area of town which I've never seen before. For about a block, all the buildings look like ornate old two or three-story office buildings that might have been built at the beginning of the 1900s. I'm surprised that I've never seen these buildings before since I know Portsmouth so well. All the buildings have artistically elegant facades, and all seem to be empty except for one on the corner which appears to be some kind of antique store. Stepping back, I can see that this antique store is part of a larger building, most of which appears to be run-down and empty. I reflect how I could open an office in one part of this building. Maybe I could buy that part of the building and gradually I could obtain the whole building and completely renovate it. I look across the street and think how I might even buy one of those office buildings. Eventually I could own and renovate all the office buildings on the block. I step inside the antique store, walk around and admire the beautiful woodwork. I definitely would like to have an office in this building. I walk through the building and into a courtyard area in the rear. I walk through a door at the end of the courtyard and end up in a bizarre labyrinthine area where many people are circulating around. I soon loose myself in the myriad rooms and passageways and I ask several different people how to return to the street. They guide me one way, then another through different doors until I finally realize that there is definitely something frighteningly odd about this whole set-up and I begin to feel that I may never be able to escape. I finally walk down some stairs into a dark foreboding cellar which appears to be a store-room filled with antique furniture and rows of hardback chairs. A couple dark-bodied men are in the front row of the chairs. Probably in their late 20s, they are shirtless and muscular. I realize they must be engaged in sex. They jump up and quickly pull up and buckle their pants. They don't seem happy that I've stumbled into this room. Its too late to act as if I haven't seen anything, so I keep walking through the room. I'm starting to become a bit apprehensive and I worry that the men might attack me or try to imprison me down here. When the larger of the two men tries to lead me down to an even lower cellar region, I have the feeling that the two men are going to try to imprison me in a dungeon. Frightened of what awaits me, I break away and run up some stairs. I run from bizarre room to bizarre room until I finally begin to suspect that this whole place has something to do with sex - like some kind of sex thralldom - but I can't quite figure it out. I encounter one muscular fellow who asks me my sexual orientation. I try to think of the proper term and finally blurt out, "Straight." I walk into another room where I encounter a rather attractive blonde woman (around 30 years old) lying on her stomach. She wants to have sex with me. I think I could have sex wither her right here right now if I wanted, but other people are walking around the room and I don't want to have sex with her here and now. I'm beginning to think, however, that I have to attach myself to someone here, and that I will have to remain attached to that person for a certain amount of time. This blonde would certainly be better than anyone else I've seen. She's the first woman whom I've encountered, but I think if one woman is here, there must be others. If I have to stay here, I would rather look around for another woman. At the moment, however, I don't really want to be attached to anyone, so I continue walking. I meet an older man (around 60 years old). He also wants to attach himself to me. I think at least he would probably protect me in here, but I don't want to be with him either. He says something about "being in here for nine years" if I stay with him. That doesn't sound good - I surely don't want to stay in here for nine years. I break away from him and continue searching for a way out and avoiding anyone attaching themselves to me. I walk through several inner courtyards and continue asking people how to leave, but I'm beginning to despair of ever finding my way out.
Dream of: 17 November 2013 "Returning To School" I walk up to the front of a high school. I'm here to see if I can return to school to complete the 12th grade which I never completed when I attended high school. I'm 79 years old, which I realize is very old to return to high school, but I've had this desire in my mind all my life and it seems as if now I'm finally going to do it. I walk into the front of the school and enter an office. I sit down at a table with four high-school aged girls. Somehow the girls know why I'm here and one of them jokingly says that she objects to the whole idea. I go along with the joke and say, "Well then I'm just going to forget the whole thing." When someone calls my name, I stand up and walk to a desk which is right here in front of everyone. I would rather go back into a private room to talk about this, but the gray-haired woman (probably in her late 50s) who is sitting at the desk appears ready to interview me right here and now. I ask her if she is the one with whom I need to talk, and she pleasantly responds, "Yes." I explain to her that this idea might sound crazy, and that if she thinks its crazy, I'll just forget the whole thing. I proceed to explain how I want to return to the 12th grade. She appears astounded. She glances around the room which is filled with other administrative-type people. She finally says that she wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't heard it herself. She asks me about my education and I think she's trying to find out if I completed the 12th grade at another school, but I'm a little confused by the question, and I respond that I did manage to attend college and law school. She seems impressed. I tell her that I always liked going to school, but then I correct myself and tell her that that is not actually correct because I actually didn't like it when I was attending school. I'm thinking that I'm living with my parents, which seems a bit odd for someone my age. Nevertheless, such is the case. I'm hoping the woman doesn't think I'm some kind of weirdo who simply wants to be around a bunch of high-school kids, because that isn't the case at all. I simply want to go back to school. I'm getting the feeling that the woman doesn't think this is a good idea and I'm thinking that I'm simply going to turn around and leave. I still have this desire, however, which I simply can't seem to squelch.
I am hoping for some interaction from my unconcious mind and am trying for a vivid non-lucid with good recall. This had nice subconcious tones but lacked vividness. It also was not very realistic. It involved three flashes all having to do with teaching LDs. The first is my dad saying they had hired someone to teach everyone in his office to LD. I was hurt that he had not asked me. Did he not think I was a good teacher. The second was me typing on DV telling someone I would not be able to help with something. The member told me they did not even know who I was or why they would trust me to help. The final flash was me chatting in IRC to Gab and a voice in my head accussing me of bragging and wanting to seem special. It accused me of feeding my ego. There is clearly some kind of theme here that is subconcious and analysable.
#243 - SSILD 3:00am (alarm for WBTB) I am at Patrick and Jessie’s house with my wife. We are all talking about the 50th anniversary episode of Doctor Who. Then a bunch of people start making a Dalek formation on the floor I join in and become the head. I put a arm out for the "eye". I look at my wife standing there and ask if she is going to take a picture. 3:56am I am working on some cables at work on the overhead boards. I check lengths on some woods boards and pass them off to someone. I pick up a stack of pink paperwork but they look like some type of black ink has been spilled on them with areas that have been bleached out. I realize that I am dreaming but for some reason I think that I can't do that now since I am at work and I lose all lucidity. The scene turns into a party at some fancy mansion and I see a younger and slimmer version of Jana in some kind of cop costume. In fact everyone is in costume. Jana looks at me a poses with a grand gesture at her body. Yeah I get it. Your slim. She then walks over to some women and begins flirting with them. I wonder if they know she is a lesbian. Then Justin walks in the front door in some type of Phantom of the Opera costume but the mask looks like a Cyberman. He sings something to some nearby people and wonders off into the main room. I get the idea that I must be dreaming but I wake up. 4:49AM I am at work and decide that I am dreaming. I don't really have that dawning realization but I actually decide that I want to be dreaming. I only remember thinking that all these work dreams must be because I've been working so much overtime. I lose lucidity. I am in my house doing something... I don't know what. Again I decide I want to be dreaming. At first I think it might just be HI because after my last waking at 3:56am I wanted to WILD. But no, this seems a little more than that and I accept it as a dream. I look around and notice my house. My vision is blurry but notice how my house looks like a blend between my normal house and something that I think of as an apartment. After a moment, I decide to go outside. I reach the front door and notice the door knob is at the top. There are dark yellow opaque panes of glass on either side of the door. I concentrate and expect a door knob in the proper place. When I look again its there but it wont turn. I blindly reach for a dead bolt and turn it. The door opens. Again the area looks like waking life with a blend of something unfamiliar. Gravity becomes light and I begin taking long slow jumps into the air. I begin to giggle like a kid enjoying the feeling. After several jumps I begin making a swimming motion in the air and start to actually fly. I move above the tree line and lose my reference point. I get a feeling of vertigo and all I see is light blue sky and dots of green. I will myself back down. Once I feel myself touch the ground my vision returns to normal. I decide to settle for bouncing around more than flying. I am in a wooded area with open-walled sheds that have old corrugated tin roofs. I jump to the roof tops and bounce from building to building. That's when I begin to think about several goals I have. I pick the first one I think of: China. I look forward and notice that I seem to be in a mountainous area heading up a steep rocky hill where the building are built into. There is a long structure jutting out of one the buildings on the hill; It looks like a conveyor belt with an enormous valve at the end. My first thought is that must be some type of grain mill. It all looks familiar and I think of something from Fallout. I don't pay too much attention to it because I want to get over this hill and use expectation to make it to the great wall. A huge tree is in front of me and the branches cover me. At the top of the hill I see a train passing by. I find this curious and begin to float toward it. Unfortunately, I get hung up on one of the branches and can't seem to escape. I feel like a helium balloon with no way to control my flight. I look back at the train and notice a thick wall of trees that stand impossibly high. I realize that I must not only reach the train but fly over the giant wall of trees. The task feels impossible and I give up. I have some wakefulness at this point and stay up for about 45 min before returning to bed. #6:35AM I am in some house with a door that wont close properly. I think it must need vents. My dog daisy is whining from some place in the room but I can't find her. I go outside and my wife has put several animals in a large rabbit cage. I expect to see ferrets but they look odd and hairless. There are also a few sugar gliders curled up in hammocks with several white birds perched on wooden dowels. I shrug at the sight and laugh to myself as I walk back in the house. I think we probably need to find a place inside before it gets cold. I pause at the back steps. Something isn't right it should be cold. I become aware of the temperature but notice its not hot or cold. Well, it's still fall but we should probably do something soon. I look down and realize I grabbed something from the trash can that is next to the cage. I have a bag of old rotten potatoes. I smell it and it's pretty foul. Instead walk all the way back to the trash, I hurl the bag toward it, missing. Close enough. I walk inside. There is a pretty open floor plan and the kitchen and living room are pretty much the same room. I feel like my hands are dirty so I wash them in the sink. There is blood and I notice cuts on my hands. Two of my fingers are missing halfway. I franticly pray, "OH DEAR JESUS NO. PLEASE NO!" I take my hand out of the water and take a closer look. My hands are fine. I relax and think I must be losing my mind. I hear my dad laughing and turn around to see him watching some comedian on TV. He keeps telling me that it's not funny. I ask him, "Then why are you laughing?" I walk around a partition to relax in a recliner while I listen for his reply. I hear him say, "Well it was, but they lost me at..." I wake up.
Saturday 11/23/13 Last night, bed around midnight. Meditated sitting on bed for 10-15 min. Morning dream I'm a human with superpowers. With some friends in some city. I need a watch, so I ask them where to get one. The store I wanted to go get the watch from is closed and another store is opened in it's place. The neghboring clothing store expanded and took over rest of the small stores in the strip mall. So I ask my friends which hotel is the best in town, so I go and get the watch from their gift shop. Distance or difficulty getting there doesn't bother me, since I can fly or teleport anywhere easily. Now we are walking on a city sidewalk, heading someplace. A small kid, maybe 13 year old comes up to me and asks me for sx. He is in a black and white striped t-shirt. His face is dirty, as if he didn't wash himself in days. His nose is full of dirty snot. I can see it clearly moving, as he is breathing. He has his friends with him. I stop to talk to them and I tell my friends to go ahead, I'll catch up with them. Boys lead me to one of the nearby houses in the Barrio. Place doesn't really have streets, just some mud paths between houses. The house is really opened, as you would expect it to be in tropical climate. Lot's of very thin, yellowish, see through window curtains on opened windows. They look more like mosquito nets. There is a large bed with white sheets. Some neighbors are looking through the large windows and the courtains. Courtains are blowing in the wind. I tell this boy to send the neighbors away. I have a feeling they were there to observe the spectacle. That what's about to happen is not something that unusual, but rather happens on regular bases. There is more people coming to the house. I also tell the boy that if he thinks I'm gonna do it with all of them, to think again. And ffs, to go and wash up. (Rest is for my paper dj only)
Morning of November 24, 2013. Sunday. Dream #: 17,142-03. Reading time: 1 min 54 sec. This dream began as the typical “watching the sky at twilight” event when interesting and mysterious events occur in the sky, but it became more like an “end of the world” dream. I had intended to reinduce my awareness into a more lucid dream, but it is too warm to focus for very long. I go outside to look at the sky. There had been reports about signs that the end of the solar system is nigh. I am not concerned, but there is an eerie awareness of humanity ceasing to exist. When I look at the sky, I notice that there are several smaller identical Earth moons in various random areas (about half the size or less of how the moon should appear), with a random cluster of about four lower down toward the horizon. I am trying to understand how the “same” moon can be in several areas of the sky at the same time. I consider that it may be a reflective effect from the sparse clouds. Zsuzsanna’s half-sister, CRJ, comes out from the house. The setting is like the front yard of the Cubitis house. My mother is present, appearing about ten years younger than my day of birth. (I do not recall that she had died.) CRJ says, “Oh, look, the sky has gone stupid,” and seems more annoyed than concerned. It does not seem like a newsworthy event to her even though she is working for a radio station (from within the house)? My mother comes out and looks at the stars. Time passes, and the “stars” begin to move down from the sky at a fast rate, one at a time, like swooping birds. After they swoop down, they rise back into a different position in the sky. Their trajectory seems to be based on the law of reflection as they swoop down and go back up in an “incident ray” path. It seems like I am experiencing the event from the perspective of two people at the same time (my mother and me). It is disorienting. We manage to duck and dodge in a perfect way each time (the source of the ducking and dodging movements seeming to be my mother’s) to avoid being hit by each “star” (which technically cannot be much bigger than a basketball but it “feels” as if it is much larger). I can barely see above my head after a time. One coming from farther away in the sky makes a much wider and “slower” arc. Those directly above go in almost a straight up and down seemingly faster course (somewhat like a bouncing ball). There was partial influence from “Slaughterhouse-Five” (from 1972) regarding the scene where the main character is seemingly carried off by a “star.” (That was a result of aliens in the movie. Aliens are not implied to be in my dream’s situation.)

Morning of November 24, 2013. Sunday. My wife and I are on a large, old brick bridge with arches, seemingly running north and south and likely in Wisconsin. It is very cold and in the middle of winter (although in real life here, it is unbearably warm). I make it so that the large winter jacket I am wearing goes around her so that she is able to put her right arm through the right sleeve while my right hand holds her left hand (my left arm still being in the left sleeve). We are then “wearing the same jacket” and also embrace so that we are fully inside the jacket after zipping it up effortlessly. After a short time, we slowly float down from the bridge onto the iced-over surface of a lake or river. There is a feeling of great love and joy. There seems to be a vague plan to eventually see my best friend Toby T as we go north into the city and we sort of half-walk, half-float to get there.
I only remembered parts of my dream: -So the whole time in the dream, i'm in a towel and it barely covers anything and im holding it close to me. -I ask one of my best friends to think of a costume for me -I'm in a place near the sea -I bump into a guy that's having dinner with the same person i told to make me the costume -The guy is supposedly famous -The teacher tells me that she brought this guy for me and a couple of other people. -I'm at the theater -I've baked pizza and people were eating it -I remember buying a lot of toothbrushes from the supermarket near my house -My dad was in the dream but i don't remember what happened
Lucid Dreaming at School We were getting some sort of project in school where you had to start a new hobby and journal your progress. I had asked my teacher if I could use my dream journal from this website since it's already been going on for awhile. The teacher said yes. So essentially, the dream had a time-skip to the day that the project was actually due. Because I was using my dream journal, I didn't have to do any actual work. I just continued lucid dreaming and filling out my journal. I "turned in" my project by sending my teacher a link to the journal. When he/she (I can't remember winch teacher of mine had given the project, or if it was even a teacher that I had in RL) They began reading through all my dream journal entries, and pointed out there were grammar errors. (Look, I'm sure there's a lot of grammar errors in my DJ.) Another thing that I took note of was that the color legend for my DJ seemed to be off. In RL it's green for dreams, blue for lucid, and black for anything else. But in this dream, there was red, orange, and a sort of tan color. The teacher told me that since my DJ was so long, they could overlook the grammar errors. They continued by saying that I could get extra points on my assignment by putting images in my dream journal. I told them to keep reading because occasionally, I included images to go along with my dreams. Fragment I banged my head against the wall in my bathroom. I can't remember the reason, I think I was just angry.
