its my first post and i am going to report tomorrow on tonights experience. I plan on taking three melatonins and checking the clock everytime I enter a new room to make sure it isn't funky. I hope I get lucky tonight!
I fell asleep at...around 12:30AM-12:45AM after going to bed at 10:15PMish. Yes, I have some difficulty falling asleep. I woke up at 3:40AMish to scribble these down in a physical DJ I now keep by my desk. Dream 1: I was playing Kerbal Space Program, and had a simple rocket. I was in some kind of tutorial, doing a moon landing. Everything was extremely fast, as if it were at 250x speed or so - even faster at times. I rapidly landed on the moon, then time reversed and I suddenly sped back to the planet. I then found myself in space again, and did another superfast moon landing, this time onto a large concrete structure. The "moon" seemed to be about 250 meters across, but the scale wasn't very consistent - the platform seemed to be much larger. Must be just a trick of perspectives in dreams. Anyways, I landed, and the tutorial guy (who was suddenly present and voiced) said "Almost done, but build me a rocket." I found a bunch of parts just lying around, and the tutorial guy says "put your finger on that part at the top" which was a floating Mk3 cockpit. At this point, the tutorial guy started laughing like crazy, as I start assembling the "rocket" or "shuttle" or what have you. The tutorial guy had his own character at this point - running around like a typical idiot in gMod (in fact, we both had physguns). I attach two parts, then attach some kind of "suicide part" which was apparently a self-destruct for whatever part it was attached to. Then, I opened a menu of some description (which was a light blue) and it said I had four "Battle Rifles." I go to select one, but the dream ended. Dream 2 (fragment): There was something about a murder - someone forcing people to take suicide pills. Similar to the pilot of that Sherlock Holmes TV show (the British one) which I watched earlier that day. Dream 3 - I was in a restraunt with a IRL friend of mine. It was night out, and the lights in the buildings across the street were out - making it appear that the windows were pitch black. Apparently, someone was killed in one of the buildings, and he was caught on a traffic camera. The murderer exits the building, wearing a blue jacket with a hood. My friend and I get up and chase him, but lose him in a crowd. At some point, we pass by what vaguely resembles my home from the side - despite never leaving the street and such. We were walking down a path by a calm lake, and it was a clear night sky with a large, full moon out - perfect for a romantic night, if A) My friend was female and B) We weren't chasing a murderer. We eventually came to a dock, with two "canoes" (which resembled a simple wooden boat with a few seats) and lots of people. Four of these people had the blue jacket the murderer was wearing, and three of them were Asian. I noticed this and pointed out that "statistically, the killer is one of them." Note - I have nothing against asians, nor any minority. I evaluate others on an individual basis, and hate everyone equally until proven otherwise. That is, I am neutral towards them. We get into a "canoe" with about ten other people, and take off - but almost immediately, something happens and I fall into the water, sinking just beneath the surface. I'm floating underwater, which appears perfectly clear as if it were just air, I can breathe normally, and above me is the boat and the surface. The dream ends at this point, but I remember there suddenly being 3 boats. Dream 4: There were rock people/golems present, apparently called Gorons, but they were definitely not Gorons, and just some kind of golem. We had built a golem/robot as some kind of gift or replacement for them. Both it and the "Gorons" appeared roughly humanoid, with distinct joints and made of a brown rock. The golem we built rolled/jumped/moved/? donw a path, jumping/passing over seven wooden gates, each decorated differently. Each time, it changed appearance slightly - some change in color. I remember either the fifth or sixth being green - likely sixth, if I recall correctly. When it reached the bottom, it was brown, and had a facial expression of >:| . We said something along the lines of "It's not perfect, but it'll do." Note - "We" being "my group" despite me not remembering a group - just that I was part of one. Anyways, there was a montage of the golem we created showing off - it could fly through the air with its' arms extended, and there were several bird-like creatures made of rock flying alongside it, which were hit by falling lava and killed/destroyed/?. The golem flew into some cave or pit and dived under lava, starting to travel in some lava-filled tunnel. At this point, I remember seeing some lava dripping down a stalactite at the left of the tunnel - which was still under lava. Dream 5: This might actually just be a scene change of some description from the previous dream - I do not recall any distinct "cut off" beyond a scene change. I was walking down a cave, with a reasonably wide stream beneath me. It was shallow enough that I could see the rocky bed beneath it, and light was shining down through cracks in the roof. At one point, the water rapidly drained - passing through the rocks. I started running, and exited the cave and found myself on a tiny beach. To my right, there was a small hill of wet sand up against a cliff, which merged with the cave entrance. I notice the waves getting larger, and hear someone shout "Flood warning!" I started to climb up the sand hill to escape the flood, but even though it was barely two meters tall (and even though I know I never would have climbed up such a thing in the first place to escape a flood), I could not get to the top, as I kept slipping down. It also behaved as though it were a solid object, despite being made of sand. I went back to sleep some time after I finished writing this - Likely around 4:30AM, as I finished at 4:10AM.

12-4-13 Great recall of one dream: We are in a more secluded version of the school netball/tennis courts, except in this realisty it is surrounded by trees; they are somehow very 'soft', and thick; the branches and leaves poke through the mesh cage surrounding the court. The area is divided in two across its width by another mesh wall, and the adjoining courts are missing. In their place a more trees. The colour of the leaves is a fairly dark green, the kind which is closer to blue than to yellow. The ground is shadowed. Our PE teacher of last year, let's call her X, is in charge of our class, which, for some reason, includes H from the above PE set. My mind wonders from this point, while we are put in groups by X. I am with my friend 'I' and we are sent down the far end of the court. The ironic thing is, I think I start to daydream about lucid dreaming. It takes me a while to realise that the teacher is shouting what appears to be a random assortment of continents and countries, and everyone is running up and down the width of the area. I start paying attention again. When I returns to my side, I ask her; "What are we doing?" and she gives me an enigmatic reply, if any, and I am left to work it out myself. It seems that the random continents have some correlation to how the other students run (what speed, what style, etc) and when. "Africa," calls X, and everyone runs across from my side to the other. I follow, having nothing else to do, but my left leg begins to ache abnormally half way across and I am forced to stop. X says some scathing, ill-disguised-with-joviality remark about my attempt, and (I think) I start trying to explain why I had to stop. I give up and retreat to the very back of the court, because I am 'out'. I spread out my arms and twist my hands about the mesh, feeling the very soft leaves on them and the back of my neck; they are cold and ever so slightly damp feeling. My friend comes over to me and I assume she too is out. X appears as my friend leaves again, and begins to criticise my attempt as pathetic. What is truly pathetic is my attempt to explain why I was so bad. X leaves as all of the group congregate in the opposite half of the courts. I returns one more time, now holding out a pale pink flower with four inverted heart shaped leaves and small, broad leaves which look like they have come from the surrounding trees. She tells me she got it from H. A dream fragment includes me and a group of friends going to a roller coaster. We are supposedly the first to ride it. The large stairwell is grey concrete, and reminiscent of a stairwell in a dream I had a long time ago about a water slide. The train faces to my right. The top half of all of the cars are orange, the bottom navy. 13-4-13 Poor recall. I was stupid - half way through the night, I woke up remembering two dreams, but didn't want to move to write them down so I didn't disrupt a (failed) attempt at DEILD. I also had something against turning on the lights. I recall being in the car. We (my family) had been out. I am unsure where. We are parked outside the house, and it is raining incredibly hard. When I get out of the car, the journey from my driveway to my door seems unusually long, and I get incredibly wet. I am wearing a leather jacket and navy hoodie, in the right pocket of which is an amount of money, including a two pound coin. I am the first to open the door, and in fact, the only one to enter. The curtains surrounding the door are half drawn and the normal lights have been replaced by two enlarged light bulbs. The one closest to me and the door is green. My dad is by the light switch (although I am the only one who entered the house) and says "Don't stand under that, it might explode." I back off towards the stairs, at the same time sort of 'watching' my body back towards the door (it is ajar, now letting in clear blue-grey light). My dad turns on the lights and the green one flickers... There was also a dream fragment involving me eating an exceptionally long mini roll and a load of sliced salami. 14-4-13 A disappointing lack of proper dreams last night. All I remember is that it had something to do with one of my friends. Why are my dreams all so boring? Nothing ever seems to happen which makes me question reality.
4/15/13 DILD + DEILD I was standing on a mini ski slope at night. There were 2 steep but small jumps that spread across the whole run. It looked more like a trough between two sharp bumps. I decide to practice my spins so I jog up a few dozen feet and I find some banana skis. I start sliding right before the jumps and try a 180. I end up completing a 360. I was surprised how easy it was. I go again and land a 180. I decide to try it with a snowboard so I go looking for boots. I go inside a building where I see a man around 28 years old talking with someone else in the hallway. I slip into the room to my right and it is a gym. I see some boots on the ground, and I know they are his. They have giant laces and I get halfway through putting them on when he walks in. He comments on my using his boots so I take them off. He then takes me back to where I am supposed to be. I am no longer "me" anymore. I am a young kid around 13 years old. I decide to start being an asshole. (The first thing I did, I forgot.) I then follow the man into another room. There is a guy behind a counter serving snacks. There is a warming light and a metal tray holding a bunch of seeds or some small snack. I grab like 6 and put them in my mouth. I pretend like I don't like them and spit them ferociously back into the tray. That way, they would have the most spread and be the hardest to pick out. I finally get taken into a classroom. I sit down and the teacher asks for a volunteer for something. No one responds. The guy who brought me here offers me up because I "got out of ____ by ____" (I don't remember) The dream skips and I become lucid. I decide to go look for some girls. I walk into a room and there is a wedding going on. There are around 60 people here. I make eye contact with two girls and nod at them. They get up silently and follow me across the hall. I start kissing one and insert. After a little bit I look back and she has a really short buzz cut. She is now a dude. I go over the other chick. We make out for awhile but she isn't super hot. I decide I can do better so I go back to the wedding. I nod at a smoking hot girl. She comes out with me and we start kissing. She wants to put a bag over her head and kiss through it. After the last transforming girl I am pretty skeptical. I ask, "Are you like a vampire or something?" She said no, but did admit to something (I forgot) that led me to go fishing back at the wedding again. I go back again and something interferes again. I lose the dream. DEILD I am back in the room. I decide the only move left is to go for the bride. I was still being an asshole anyway. I can't just nod the bride away from her wedding so I approach the front. I say that there is an emergency and she has to come outside. I finally get a look at her. She is asian and pretty cute, although not the type of person I usually go for in dreams. Just then the priest says, "If anyone objects , now is the time to speak." I feel like I should have waited for that moment. The bride is reluctant to go with me. I urge her saying it is an emergency. She follows me to my room across the hall. I go in for the kiss. The moment out lips touch, she bites down hard. She then pulls back and yells, "are you kidding me!?" and she slaps me. My lip is really hurting from the bite. I kind of feel like I deserve it. She storms out into the hall where she sees one of her friends approaching her. The friend offers to help. The bride says she is fine but someone will have to call the police.
I was dreaming that I was back in the Air Force and going back to my old job working out in the missile fields to cook. In my dream however I was more like a legend/hero sort? ( That is strange because no one there now would know me in real life.) We were driving on these really rough 4x4 trails going through some mountainous countryside. It was really beautiful. I missed the turn off and went back. We finally got to the base and people came out of the building to see me. I remember having on this stupid black cowboy hat that was too big for me and I kept trying to put it on so it looked cool before I got out of the vehicle. When I got out, the relief cook was a young black guy. He said he was relieved to be leaving because he hated Montana. I asked him why and he said it was so boring out there. I looked around at the beautiful mountains and then saw some grizzly bear cubs up the side of a hill. I was showing them to him and all types of wild life began appearing all around us. Elk, deer, bear, moose, eagles.. then we went inside and I went to find my room. The facility was two story (not like it is in real life) and I was having trouble finding my room. There was another woman there and I was supposed to share a room with her and she didn't seem to happy with that and picked a bed that was out in the hall. The dream changed and I was outside and saw the first sergeant sitting in a snowbank watching a TV with a football game on it. I walked over and sat in the snowbank too and we talked a little. Then I was back inside and the building was possessed by a demon! I was going around quoting religious things to exorcise the demon. I woke up then.
Very deep sleep again. I hope my body recharges and in the next days a nice lucid turnaround follows. Dream1: For some reason, I decide to look for a new place to move to, so I find a very cheap place. I pay the money to the guy and he leads me to my new room. Actually, the room was used as a library (again?) or some old computer room. When I enter it, it changes and there are, I start counting, 5 beds in the room. So the landlord wants to squeeze maximum profit out of the whole thing and has convinced a few others to move in there too. Not only do I have to share the room with all those people, but I also see on some kind of map that the toilet is streets away! I want to get out of there, but one of my new roommates tells me that we have signed a contract for many months. I call my boyfriend, complain and ask him to rescue me. The whole dream changes and we are now in some old video game, where my boyfriend is fighting the guards and my game character is helping him by using karate and throwing guards around. We manage to escape by leaving the part of the map where the guards are and move to the next level. The game continues and we fight some game monsters. Fragment2: I am using a tin full of eggs? as dumbbell. I want to get strong, so that I can fight the guards. I do some biceps curls until I can feel my muscles. When I am done, I notice that the tin is falling apart and so are the eggs inside. Fragment3: I am taking part in a cooking class. The chef is explaining some details about how to cook the food.
very mundane dreams i am outside the mall with my boyfriend. the sky is overcast. later we are inside the mall, in a banana republic store. i want to buy some clothes for him but they are too expensive. later i am tattooing a tall, thin japanese man with long hair. now that i think about it he kind of seems like a young version of merzbow? i am using a strange looking pen to tattoo him. i tattoo a strange grid pattern on his chest and some other small designs on his arms and torso. i keep asking him if he really wants this, if he thinks it looks ok, etc. his answers are generally affirmative. he is very hard to understand -- sounds more like someone with a severe speech impediment than a guy with an accent. then the sprinklers in the "tattoo shop" go off. there is water everywhere. i leave. outside the shop there are various fast food kiosks. one of them has a rack of 'sushi burritos' on the counter. i grab one and walk off without paying. it tastes quite savoury and delicious. someone behind me calls me a "fast food slut". i turn around and it is a guy and girl that i recognize to be my friend. we talk about various inconsequential things.
I have another dream that I am lucid but don't fully grasp what that means. It's like I just thought of it as HI but it was a full dream. It's not good enough to add to my count. 5:53AM - DILD? For some reason I park my car on 20th street and start walking carrying a diaper bag. I am lucid but continue on. I see what looks like my old friend Shawn's company truck parked at the icehouse. I walk into it on purpose and laugh thinking Shawn would recognize me. The windows are too tinted to see in so I walk around to the driver side. The driver has his window down but he is not Shawn. He looks like some grizzled old man from Shadow Run on the Genesis. I quickly walk away. I continue walking and start thinking about how far I need to walk. It seems like I was going to Price Cutter. I wonder why I don't just fly there. I wake up briefly and think about the dream. Soon I am non-lucid in a backward version of my kitchen. I see my sis in law, Megan. There is a green box of crackers on the counter with a yellow label and the brand name "Sonofarms" (Sono Farms?) written in red. I said, "look it's Son of man crackers." Megan looks at me like I'm stupid. No "It looks like it reads Son of man but its son of farms . She doesn't get it. I realize my logic is a little off. I say, "Nevermind it's just a dream anyway." I wake up.

#164 - 5:09AM - WILD/OBE I have a little trouble transition during the vibrations but finally get up. I feel sick and drunk but make it out of my bedroom. The house is unnaturally dark and I feel the dream fading. I decide to stabilize by getting on my hands and knees and feeling the hardwood. I beg the dream for light. Give me light. It's day time. My voice sounds weak and hoarse like I need to clear my throat. I try to clear it several times but stopped because that is a physical action in a nonphysical world. I let it go. Soon I notice there is some pre-dawn light coming from the windows. Better, but I still feel unstable. I feel the area were there was once a floor furnace (that we still need to fix) and pull the board up. I look inside and consider going in but it's just a pitch black abyss. Hmmm I'd rather not. I look around and notice a flickering light from outside. My first thought is lightning but it's more consistent like a strobe light. I make my way to the back door and stand on the deck. I look out but can't see the source of light. There is a deep valley and woods beyond my yard and the privacy fence is missing. I ignore this. Blutbad time! I fully transform and see my hands become wolf-like with claws. My right hand looks a little too human and I have to focus some more fur on it. That's better. I try to let out a deep roar but I actually howl instead. I kind of laugh and try again. That one was better. Oh shit I forgot to draw it first! I turn around to draw on the outside of the house but when I reach up I see my werewolf hand. Doh I can't think of anything else to draw and I know that if I spend too much time on it I will wake up, so I move on forgetting the China task completely. I look over to the neighbor's house and feel like I want to terrorize them in my werewolf form. I leap off the deck and notice several small exploding gas fires in my yard. I look at them briefly but don't really feel that interested in it. I leap/fly to the window and notice that its barred. I easily rip it off like tin foil and smash my face through the glass. I peer in roaring viscously but no one is there. I see a cozy quaint living in room in the back part of the house. I feel confused as this is a totally backwards. I look to my right down a hallway but the dream goes black. I spend some time in the void DEILDing by rubbing my hands but my son wakes me. I notice my hands twitching from effort. http://grimm.wikia.com/wiki/Wesen
Dream recall from today's nap, recall of waking life in dream didn't updated with latest change in plans for some reason I was doing stuff at home then went to bed, decided to WILD. I had transition sensation and i feel that someone is there apparently, i open the eyes, i am in my room and there is random DC, i shove DC off the bed and he says some nonsense, i take off headphones and binaural beats are still playing, i fly to the balcony and further outside, phasing through door on the way, i feel wings. I shout the stabilization command, and for once, it works and dream becomes more clear, i also try shouting the control command but don't feel any change. There's some reflecting surface floating in the air, i look at my reflection, instead of me it's some weird roughly humanoid figure made out of some kind of dark blue wires, it has wings and it has no head. I look at me and i am normal myself(In retrospect, i should have used that for transformation instead, haha, i should remember to do that next time). I fly around and decide to attempt transformation into a dragon again, but before i can do much, dream fades out. I wake up in my room, i take off headphones normally(No reality check is perfect) and go to my PC, as i am about to type dream recall keywords into file i wake up properly.
There was a lot of zipping and pdfing of files in this dream. In other words I wasted a dream doing boring work related stuff. I just remembered why I had this dream. I went to bed trying too hard to not think of work and failing. I have been having too many work related dreams, and I want to change that. One way of looking at this dream is my subconscious laughing at me: so, you want fewer work related dreams? You know, it could be worse: they could be work related and boring! Haha. Of course, my awareness level may have also been so low that my mind needed to do something that required very little concentration: a mindless set of tasks it knows well.

Okay so I was playing a game on this computer which was connected to a server. Suddenly someone tried to hack the server so I unplugged it. Then I was in a forest with about 4 other people that were around 16/17/18. We found a laptop and mobile phone on the ground after looking for them. When we picked them up the wind rushed through the trees. Something was very wrong. Suddenly my 'friends' started shouting to watch out and to get away. Looking around I couldn't see anything that would be a threat. Then this... thing slowed down to a speed my eyes could register. It was a male of about 20 years old, tall and thin but he was white. As in white like the colours on DV. He was inches away from my face and he was very very angry, his eyes were black voids. I stumbled backwards trying to put some distance between myself and... it. Once I was a decent distance away I threw a punch aiming straight for his face. "Leave me alone!" it screamed and vanished before my fist made contact. My friends behind me dropped that laptop and phone, before I could say anything else I was stood back next to the server I'd just unplugged. I plugged it back in and went to see if it was still being hacked. I was a camel being looked after by a walrus. People couldn't work out what was wrong, I'd had all my organs replaced but still couldn't stand up properly. Then I realised I just had a broken leg. So I continued to watch tv. I don't even know what that last one was meant to be If you would like to join me in the one week challenge, feel free! All the information you need is right here: Click Me

#1 - I dream that I am playing a new sort of MMO. Gameplay wise, it functions more like a side-scroller, but it looks a lot like World of Warcraft. Guild recruitment in it is really weird - if you're unaffiliated and somebody defeats you in battle, they can force you to join their Guild. It sucks, because I end up in a Guild full of jerks that I really don't like. Another thing is that once you enter certain sections of a stage or a boss battle, you can't back out of it, and you're severely penalized for attempting to leave or dying. My teammates all think I suck because I'm low-level and new to the game. #2 - My family is eating at a diner, like Steak & Shake. I see an older woman sitting with what appears to be a newborn baby and a little girl. I smile at her. She starts a conversation with me, asking me what I do for a living and things of that nature. To be polite, I answer and ask how old the baby is. She starts talking about the baby. I thought she was its grandmother but she is actually its mother. When we go home, she comes with us, bringing the baby with. She hangs out all night long and never stops talking. I notice that something is really weird with the baby. Its skin looks wrong and tight and its face looks weird, more like a doll; the more I look at it, the more it looks like a roast pig, except for the face, which looks like one of those creepy shrunken heads. It never really moves or cries. I ask her if her baby is o.k. She waves me off and says it will be fine. At maybe 5 a.m., she asks us for a ride home. It turns out that she lives a whole city away. I manage to wake up my uncle and talk him into driving, because my sleep deprivation and medication has made me unable to drive. We drive through the mountains for maybe an hour and a half, and the sun comes up. The woman lives in kind of a run down green house on the edge of a lake. It becomes apparent that the baby is sick and might die, but she doesn't really seem to care. We drop her off and wave goodbye. I'm glad to be rid of her. I guess I should have had a clue that this was a dream, because my uncle was actually nice to me. On the highway, he pulls the car over and asks me to look at the mountains. I do so. He tells me to look in a specific direction, and I do. He says that in that direction is a major temple, and I might be able to see its outline against the sky. I look harder, and my dream-vision zooms in, and I can just barely see the temple. He says something to the effect of, when I don't feel good, to look in that direction and try to find it. I wake up.
Sunday 4/14/13 Last night - bed around 2pm -9am Nap around 10:30 am - couldn't fall asleep.
Hello! This LD was from a while ago. I can't remember the date, but I remember the dream very clearly. Now, I will tell you this, it's my first real LD, so....it's pretty short, but I want to start my dream journal with this dream. So, let's begin! I was in my apartment with my mom, dad, and Luan from King of the Hill. The living room was a bit bigger then usual, and our apartment was on a higher floor then we are. We are on floor 2, and in my dream, maybe...floor 9? I'm not sure, but pretty high. I remembered that I had to do something for English class, so I went next to our couch, and grabbed my back-pack. Then, (idk how in the world I was back in my living room) There's a door that goes to our pourch. I was looking through the door/window, and a giant wave hit a sky scrapper next to our apartment. Now, we live next to the beach mind you, so it wasn't too random. We all went on the pourch, and it fell. But...I guess we weren't that high anymore, cuz it fell just in the middle of the street. Everyone was screaming, and it was already near night. My mom and dad were far away from me, and I was in the middle of a crowd. Then, Luan said, "Oh I found a way to get." ...Yep. She started to walk away, so I followed her in fear. We were walking down this street, and it was all wet and moist as if it just rained. We were walking next to stores and stuff, when all of a sudden she stopped. I said, "...where are we?" and she just shrugged. I was angry. Really angry... I walked back, and one of my friends from school walked next to me, and I waved at him. Then, I looked up at the sky, and asked myself, "...am I dreaming?" I plugged my nose, and tried to breath, and I could breath! I was really excited! But I knew to not get too carried away or I'd wake up. I thought that I should save everyone! So I started to float, but then I remembered that I should concentrate, and look around at my surroundings. Everything started to fade away...I tried to rub my hands together, but I woke up. I was....well, let me try to put it in words...I WAS SO HAPPY! I have been trying to do this for a while now! I finally had one! I didn't really know how or why I had one...but I did! And even though it was short, it was still a great experience! Gave me more confidence to do more LDs! Anyways, Thanks for reading!
