I was being told some story about an alien invasion, while being relayed all of this imagery of the planet earth. I think I remember being told that the year was 2500.
Then he said we were going to "take a closer look". We fell in and were now looking at a city. I can recall that everything mostly looked the same as a city that would be built today. But we flew over a small mountain range and saw a much larger city.
Even though the city was from the future, most of the buildings looked like more modern buildings built today. There were no domes or really incredible futuristic buildings like some people would imagine. After a few minutes, I slowly began to notice that there were some futuristic buildings among the skyline.
We flew down over next to one of them. Despite being futuristic looking, it was much smaller than the buildings next to it.
There was a billboard on the side. It read "The Rebel Building Series: Providing clean energy for the city!" There were images of all the different types of futuristic style buildings on the billboard. There were only a couple different "Models" if these buildings, five or six I believe.
After that, we flew over an industrial district, and then I noticed two pieces of recognizable architecture. The Willis tower and the Dubai tower were right next to one another.
I landed. I was in my own body now.I immediately did a nose-pinch reality check and realized that I was dreaming.
When I was not paying attention, the dream scene changed to a sort of nightclub restaurant, except there was no neon lights or anything, it was very dark. The Dubai tower and the Willis tower had shrank down to about ten feet tall, and were just large models on display in the middle of the restaurant.
I decided I wanted to do some flying.
"Flight on!" I commanded.
Nothing.
"Flight on!" I tried again, saying the command a little louder. Nothing.
I held up one hand.
"Booster flames?"
A little poof of smoke came out of my hand. It's common for this form of dream control to fail.
Some other dream characters came in and were standing around me. A male DC came down, he was flying. He told me that this would be a simple challenge between dreamers; a race. And only the winner was allowed to keep their dream control powers.
The race would go around both of the model skyscrapers, so the entire course was very short. The male DC, who seemed to have some kind of dream control at his disposal, and he used it to put a fence down to guide the race.
He told us to start, and I took off running. A huge group of people ran ahead of me, but they leaped over the fence about halfway through the race, I think they had gone to meet with family. I thought I would win, but when I turned back around and looked toward the finish line, I saw three dream characters that were nearly at the finish line.
I still knew I was dreaming, but my dream control seemed weakened somehow. I decided to use a cheat anyway.
"Super Speed!" I yelled.
Instead of me speeding up, everyone around me slowed down, and was moving at about 1/4 speed. I ran past all of the other dream characters and finished first.
After the race, everyone seemed to have left except me, and two other DCs. One was a male by the looks of it, he was in a dark corner and the other was my dream guide, a girl named Lia.
For those of you who don't regularly read my DJ, I encounter my dream guide A LOT. I've had a long list of questions for her, and I tried to remember some of them.
The environment began to change, and I was shuddering. I was having difficulty focusing on what I wanted to say.
"Do you remember my first lucid dream, or atleast the first lucid dream in my Dream Journal, where I was at the school, and you rescued me and told me I was dreaming? Why can you not always do that?"
The dream was becoming very unstable. We were now in some neighborhood, outdoors in the daytime, the background was blurry and I could tell the dream was losing stability. I tried to rub my hands together and save the dream. It wasn't enough. I woke up before I could get an answer.

On a side note, I want to start my dream artwork page soon. I just need to get a good look at myself for a new cover photo.

Dream 1(fragment):

I was in the city and i was searching for something.

Dream 2(fragment):

There was some kind of competitive game about waking up on dreamviews, i didn't managed to win but i tried...

During the empty enchantment of dream
ignorant babes are entranced
while the wise, disillusioned, are undeceived;
those unaware of the truth absence,
clinging to their identity, wander in circles,
while the wise yogin, fully present,
knowing the zing of reality,
convinced of the absemce in that very moment
is liberated in the noncontingent reality-matrix

This was non-lucid but it was my first dream i could remember since joining Dream Views. I was in my workplace when a co-worker of mine went in; He then said we are being shut down and we are closing for good in a week and its been a pleasure working with you.". Then we shook hands. After that a man with a weapon entered the shop and kill one of us.(i couldn't tell because my angle of vision changed and i ended up feeling as if i was my co-worker) and while the killer was busy pulling the body to the side and started towards the register i escaped to his car (despite mine being right there making me surely think i was him as i had the keys and all). i then drove away fast and i felt as if i was in control of the car, but it was unrealistically fast and the breaks didn't work(i wouldn't call myself lucid but i felt as if i was controlling it down the road trying to be cautious and avoiding traffic.) and that was the end. I also remember fragments of other dreams i had, but only a scene or so. One was like i was playing Starcraft 2 (I'm a huge gamer) and controlling people to battle like that in a medieval style combat ; The other was me having a fight with another person with a bows and arrows. I was shot in the arm (i felt a large amount of pain that i woke up but went back to sleep almost instantly) and i went back to the same scene after i was shot in the arm, and then we traded shots for a while until he hit me in the back twice. (But i have to say the pain felt very intensive that in the dream i blacked out.) Then the scene changed to me and a few guys scrounging for supplies in a broken down warehouse ( i dont know the reason why) but strange enough it seemed that everything was rusted, even things that cant become rusted... that was it. I'm quite satisfied at my first dream attempt to improve my dream recall. I feel this is a step in the right direction that i remembered some fragments from multiple dreams.

Total Sleep time: 7+hrs

Dream recall method: none, was very sleepy today

Dream talk1: (Bf woke me up about an hour after I fell asleep, he was having a nightmare) At that point I realize I have been spending my sleep time dream talking to myself, this time I remember that it was about DV and TOTM, etc.

Dream2: I am in our old place again and have made some drawings. I look at these, one was just ocean waves that were moving by themselves and I found that really cool. On another one, there were waves again but the printer was out of ink. I think I have used some kind of computer program to do those. When I focus on the drawings, I see different shapes starting to form, one was an aligator/ raptor, and on the next one two superheroes jumping in the air.

I am supposed to give one of the drawings to my mom and she will help me sell it. It is a very accurate and beautiful drawing of a brown rabbit and a grasshopper on top of it. As I give the drawing to my mom she discovers a hidden (Freud's favorite) p-word there.I don't think you could see it there, but she starts turning the drawing around until it is clearly visible. Oh, we probably won't be able to sell it then.



Fragment3: I remember looking at some crayons in different colors, maybe they were part of the previous dream, not sure

Dream4: A friend of mine, she has a dog in the dream. The dog becomes unmanageable and grabs me somehow, does not let go. After a while I get away from its grip and try to hide behind someone of my DC friends. I wait for it to go away. Then we are supposed to go back home and my bf gets on the bus and so I must get on the bus as well. There is a girl who shows us her schedule and the activities she has planned. This is because we have to meet her later?

Fragment5: I was being explained something about the HI lights, can't remember

night mareish dream i was stuck in some farm country and wasnt sure if it was movie or not but i somehow knew i had already lived it once. I was stranded in a house and dad had been chased there by some nasty ghosts or fucking lil murder guy and at night he came out and finally i jus was like im out. It was living in the house knowing there were killers in the forest. it was the strangest experience.

anyway later i was in like a lockdown facility and there were monsters everywhere and particuallry there were ladys alls dressed not dressed actualy made out of towels trying to scare people walking around it was so strange. Towel girls neon colors making weird movment through the town

it was strange then i cleaned up and had to help ghosts, I was in like a factory kinda seting ware house prolly better describes it, then somehow i was back in my room and my dad woke me up in the middle of the night and yelled "ONE" loudly like he was about to be killed

did not sleep at all previous night. napped from about 4:30 - 6 pm, took 30mg temazepam + 100mg trazodone and slept from 10pm-6:30 am; still tired upon waking.

i am on a bus with soldiers who are returning from war. they are meeting their newborn children for the first time. the babies all have square sections of their skull cut out to reveal coagulated blood and unidentifiable tissue underneath. there are black tubes coming out of the centre of these sections. in the dream, this is not disturbing to me. i just assume the babies have recently had surgery.

later i am in a large basement, which is unlike any basement i have been in in real life but which has featured in my dreams before. there is a tall french man talking (in french) about farts.

the imagery in these dreams was not as vivid as my dream imagery typically is. sometimes my vision would fade or objects would turn black.

-First dream I had involved me meeting what I assumed was a photography group outside my school, until I noticed how in their area there were various video games, which looked like incredibly large golden GBA cartridges. I started talking to the leader of the group, and found out that me and him actually shared names! He let me know that this is actually a comedy troope, and asked if I wanted to join. Next thing I remember I'm looking outside the groups building, which had this painting on the side, with two out the three floors of the building dedicated to gaming. I walked in with my dad, and my dad got into a conversation with both the leader and Bill Clinton, as if they were old friends. My dad then dropped the fact that when I was a kid, he bought me the original Half-Life.

-Next I found myself in my science classroom with various people I know. Some video was playing on the smartboard when a dude on his laptop said that a person I know, Mitch, challenged him to a game online. The substitute teacher told everybody to pull out their laptops and accept, saying that Mitch "doesn't stand a chance."

-The last dream I had three characters, Cole Phelps from L.A Noire, a young boy and an older gentleman. It followed their attempts to stop a bunch of nuclear missiles from firing off. Cole had a Mass Effect style "choice"-wheel where one could choose what he said, and depending on what he said, it would determine whether the nukes would go off or not. The wheel actually like the circles in a Looney Toons cartoon where it says "That's all Folks." In fact, the wheel actually said that at one point. At various points Cole would talk with the boy, and it would give off the feeling that Cole was actually a young boy in an older mans body. The whole deal played out like an episode of Billy and Mandy, and repeated several times, often ending with the missiles going off.

Dream recall from today's naps.

Dream 1(fragment):

I was in some kind of white city with dense white fog.

Dream 2(fragment):

I was playing Far Cry mod, which added stuff from Syphon Filter into it, there was hard level that started as fight with a tank, and i had only .45 and there was another tank that i could use, but i didn't because of enemy's tank. I ambushed a few enemies that were trying to flank me and got their HK5, then enemy tank was going around, but by that, tank left a passage that it was guarding, so i just went there. There were a bunch of enemies stuck in the wall helplessly, so i shot them and got their ammo, which were mostly different kinds of shotguns, but i was able to carry only one of them for some reason.

I'm driving a younger version of my nephew Mason to go swimming. I am not sure were this place is but we are driving on 32nd street near Main. I notice this old truck (what is it with old trucks???)... probably a 80's model, driving really fast and ran one red light. We stopped. There was a second red light a few blocks down and the truck stops on a dime. I look at Mason all like WTF? It totally looks like time just froze. I tell Mason there is no way he stopped that fast.Then it dawns on me what's going on here.

I say, "This is a dream." I realize I'm driving him in our new Dodge as I look around a bit. Mason says hey, "We have a car to keep up with people."
Confused, I say, "Huh?"
"You know. Bigger engine. That truck is fast but we could catch them."
"Well this IS a dream. I could just take you swimming like we planned or we can turn this into a car chase."
Mason looks confused, "What did you say?"
I realize my tongue got thick and I was having trouble speaking clearly. I slow down and repeat myself. "We can chase him or we can go swimming. It's up to you."
"BOTH!"
I realize I was working on a 30min limit. "No. I'll be waking up soon. We won't have time. I think I'll just take you swimming. That was the plan."
Then I start thinking about how to keep the dream interesting during the rest of the ride.
I remember something and look at Mason, "DUUUUUUDE. TASK OF THE MONTH!"
Mason seems disinterested. I look around wildly and feel the dream destabilize a bit. I calm down and look at the steering wheel thinking. Was it grant a DC a wish? No that was last month. Make a diamond! Well I'm driving. OOH. Draw what happens next!

I reach up to the glass (basic summon) pretending I have something in my left hand to draw with. I feel the dream starting to darken so hurry. I make a white stick figure with a simple wavy line through it like water. There. We're going swimming.

I wake to FA and get on DV to talk to CL then as I am DJing I wake up.

I remember building a use case diagram in UML notation, and it included:

Death with extensions for Died of Natural Causes, Murder, and Suicide.

Not adding this one to count since I woke immediately after lucid

4:29AM - DILD

Some kid was talking about how he ran into the street and attacked a man and killed him in his sleep. I questioned him further and eventually found out that he did it while in a lucid dream. He thought he was dreaming but it really happened in real life. I tell him that is one of my fears. Then I realize the subject and become lucid. I wake immediatly

I look at the clock. 30 min to have another LD.

WBTB 2:30-3:00 Mugwort

#160 - 3:38AM - DILD

I buy some stuff at Wal-Mart check out and am walking in the parking lot. I am following behind my father in law. I remember I was trying to WILD and this seems like a dream. I say, "This is a dream." and get immediately thrown into the void. I cycle motions but eventually wake up. I should just stick to hand rubbing. Less thinking.

I was walking into my local cinema called Odeon. However the layout of the cinema was not the same. The layout was the same as a cinema that is further away from me called Vue. So i simply walk through the cinema waiting in the line. Behind me is an aggressive man who wants the line to go quickly, i just ignored him. I get to the front of the queued its my turn. I said to the blonde lady "Can i see Oblivion in IMAX for 9pm tonight please?" and she turned the computer monitor towards me to let me pick my seats. It was pretty empty and i didnt know if my dad wanted Premier Seats or Normal Seats.

I then tried to look for my phone is the pocket that i ALWAYS keep it in. I never put my phone in a different pocket, ever. However i wasnt able to locate it. Then i looked in my other pocket and took out a device that does not exist. It was some device that looked thin and was running a newer version of Windows Phone 8. In fact, this device looked so good im going to draw it out later and keep it. (Your dreams can make you into an inventor..) At this point is was really confused where this device came from and i was questioning ideas in my head. Anyways, that aggressive guy was behind me and he started shouting "hurry the fuck up". I found my actual phone in the same pocket and i unlocked it to ring my dad however 2 things occurred:

1) My Nokia Lumia 920 home screen turned into an iPhone screen and i was struggling to locate the Contacts Folder
2) When i did locate the folder my dad was not on my contacts list

So i became really confused and started to worry. I simply left the cinema and i do not remember what happened after that but i was then suddenly on a Bus that was not even near where the cinema was or where i live!

My best friend was on this bus sitting on the chair opposite me. He started talking about how he is also going to see the movie 'Oblivion'. I took out the unknown device that i had in my pocket and showed it to him. He said "you stole that from someone didnt you? its probably a prototype". and i then shouted "DUDE I DID NOT STEAL THIS YOU IDIOT" and everything froze. The bus stopped and everyone on the bus( i think you call them dream characters?..) just stopped moving. I then started whispering uncontrollably and i did not know ht i was saying until it became louder and louder the whisper said "drreeeammmingg" and then i shouted myself "I AM DREAMING". I then looked back at my friend and since i knew he was not real anymore i wanted to try something that I HAVE Never been able to do.

I stuck my hands out with my fingers pointing at my friend and i just screamed and electrical sparks came shooting out my fingers and my friend was being electrocuted and i can remember his face having his eyes closed and his mouth wobbling as he was being electrocuted by my hands. i then stuck my hands in his throat and gave him another electrocution in which he then just zapped away from the face of the dream.

After that i wanted to teleport to a beach. so i just kept jumping in the air focusing on a yellow sand beach and then something really strange started happening. My dream scene was fading away and i started to see Shapes of triangles and squares. Then i saw a circle with 4 triangles around it, like a "NORTH SOUTH EAST WEST' compass. But i still kept focusing on the beach and after a few seconds i was there! Just standing in the middle of a beach with and ocean and one palm tree to the left of me. And after than i can only remember me walking on the beach. I then walk up feeling some strange vibrations around my body....

But thats it.

It was brief. False awakening - woke up in my old loft and it looked different. Did reality check and then flew out the window. I didn't have much control. Conjured sort of. Wanted my dream guide or subconscious and was unsuccessful. Asked the sky to show me something spectacular - nothing. Show me something funny - nothing. Oh well, I flew around and wound up in a warehouse and wanted to take off my clothes. There were people there but they couldn't see me and I lost lucidity.
