it starts out like a movie I'm just watching all this stuff happen with small cameos. And finally I'm thrown into the streets of Agrabah. While browsing through the merchandise I see the kid from the jungle book mowgli. He smiles at me, and and asks if I had any questions. I asked him where was Baloo. "He's off in another mission." he said, in broken English. Oh well. Then my perspective changes to Mowgli's, and he hops on a chimp who takes him all over through the city. Music is playing and the sun is slowly setting.

They spy on Jafar, who just got the lamp. His wish was to create more genies (some how this translated to castles) in which he destroyed, and tons of gold and jewels would burst out. Then my POV switches to spectator inside the castle. The King is worried about what's happening to all those other castles as they get decimated one by one. For some reason he has two daughters, and one is fake, and the other is real. He's letting them both stay until they can prove it. The castle starts shaking, Jafar pops out of no where in a cloud of red smoke, and starts making demands.

I (real me) arrived and told the king to get out of here. Real Jasmine said' she'd stop Jafar at whatever cost. Jafar say's he's after some treasure, that wasn't reproduced when all the other castles were created, so he had to personally show up there. But get this....Sora show's up and tries to hit him with his keyblade, but Jafar teleports back to the throne.

The center floor starts opening up and there's a green rock free floating in it. Sora jumps, grabs it, throws it to me, and I jumped and threw him my car keys. We both caught each others items at the same time. Sora's keyblade got more powerful and I gained the power of magic. Aladdin shows up with Genie, and we all rushed the throne.

Instead of straight action, we're fighting turned based (ala old final fantasy). Sora and Aladin are in the front row, and I'm in the back with Genie, and Jasmine. Sora and Aladdin's attacks are pretty quick, and we have to wait a while for magic. It took me a while to think of any attacks until I heard Sora say "Thungaga". The attack stunned Jafar, and I went on to cast Blizgaga. Ice shards pelted him over and over. Then I yelled Ifrit. He came out from above curled up and set him on fire. I was just about to summon Peter Pan, and something happened.....

I ended up at some random store with M, and we were talking about a whole lot of nothing. When we left it, I realized we were in Disneyworld. I was so disappointed that the dream ended shifted like this. I just wanted to go back even if I lost lucidity. The next thing I know, Genie shows up riding on carpet with Jasmine, and Aladdin and Sora arrive out of the crowd. He says he knows where Jafar is and he needs our help. Then he asked for everyone names. Sora says "I'm Sora, this is Aladdin, and Wade". Genie says "oh we don't need wade, he wasn't much help". I told him he was probably jealous that I was doing the most magic damage. Some of the people in the crowed laughed, and Genie told us to make sure we're ready before we head out. I came back first, and woke up while waiting on the others to arrive.

FA

I wake up in my room, and something is glowing red. There's a Darth Vader helmet that is emitting red light from it's eyes, and mouth. I walked around the room and it was tracking me via, motion detection. I was so creeped out by iit. I walked to the other side of the room so it would face away from my bed, and unplugged it. I thought about googling to find out if it had hidden cameras.

Part I - The Amusement Park

I had visited this place more than once in my dreams -- a theme park that looked almost broken judging by the worn brick walls that had a dampened red hint to them and rustic metal that looked almost desperate to be torn down. It was an amusement park of some kind, one that didn't label their rides or have any fancy sideshows or midway game stands. It looked like the shipping dock of a warehouse, and yet it had a more joyous feeling to it.

It was my mother, my brother and I who took favor to this place. My mother looked the same as ever -- long blonde hair with a boyish face that led just enough femininity to tell she was a mid-aged woman, though me and my brother were of a younger age. Being twins, this would make us 6 or 7 about. Perhaps older, but not younger. We had been searching for a ride, and my mother kept telling how it was my brother's choice because it was his birthday. Thinking of it now, that's ridiculous. Shouldn't it be my birthday, too? We were twins after all, but I went along with it.

He could decide of a ride, and as we wondered, we found one ride that we had been on in a past dream. In the dream previous, this ride consisted of much darkness, followed by some torches and the occasional spooky jump-scare, yet had all the drops and twirls of a roller coaster. We entered this ride and got in the car that could fit the three of us even with room to spare. There was only one car, and it was a blue, 50's carnival-esque shape. It also had no safety bars or belts, but I assumed this was a safe ride. As the car started to move, we proceeded unto darkness, thus ending the first part of my dream.

Part II - The Problem with Fast Food

I woke up at about 7:30-something AM, and didn't feel like staying up, so I didn't. I went right back to sleep, telling myself that I'd only sleep for another hour.

Near my mother's home, there is a small restaurant called In-N'-Out. It's rather popular on the west-coast for it's cheap prices, excellent fries and horrible waiting times, if you went by car anyways. In this case, my mother and I took a trip by foot to the 50's-themed restaurant, with orders in mind, or so I thought. Instead of going to the ordering window, we went deeper, into the kitchen. My mom said we were in a hurry so I had to order fast, and I did -- large fries and ice cream. My mother ordered likewise. The man in the kitchen -- a young Hispanic man in the employee outfit of red and white, gave us this order, but the ice cream was the star of this order. It came on a cone, and had at least eight scoops on it, towering enough to almost reach the ceiling. My mother gave out a groan of displeased humor, saying that we'd never be able to walk home with a thing like that.

He leveled the tower of frozen dairy to just one scoop, and we got our fries, and we went on our way.
We now had to walk home. It was sunset; the sky a blistering, hellish red with darkening clouds scattered in lines along the horizon like platforms in the sky. My mother was complaining about the heat, though I for one found it to be a very mild temperature. The ice cream agreed with my mother, though. Only five minutes since we left the place and they were starting to turn into a colored liquid. I did my best to hurry and slurp it up, and I did, my blond-haired mother apologizing to me that we couldn't get home sooner as we walked into the sunset, idly nibbling onto our fries. We never made it home before I woke again, almost precisely an hour later.

Notes:

Both of these dreams included my mother.
Her personality was rather different from that in real life. She's actually rather excited and playful, while in this she was worried and seemed stressed.
This is the third time I've been to the amusement part in my dreams. I've noticed no specific pattern with real life occurrences that induces the setting.
The In-N'-Out restaurant as well as the area around it was stunningly accurate to real life.

Interpretation:

Perhaps my mother is stressed or worried. I have taken notice of a change in her average personality as of late.
In-N'-Out might represent my increase in food consumption.
My brother's birthday could represent an imminent event with him soon. I'll keep track of that.

In a house, there where people, i don't know them, they had a monkey as a kind of pet, i liked him, he started to dance, i found that exciting, i tryd to dance with him, then i went with him for a walk, he tried finde other apes, but there where just dogs, i felt a bit sorry for him, because he had no one of his kind.... i thought mybe i can learn to communicate with him really thorough,.... the monkey, though, looked weird, he was small, like a middle sized dog and he had big foods...

sleeping in bed, my brother slept directly under my mattress, i was a bit pissed of, because he woke up when i made a sound, i sad, that since he know, that he is actually awake for short periods, he cant sleep quit well, then he got up and wanted to start a discussion, i blocked it, and sad, that it is much to early for having an argument, so we stoped - besides that, there was also another room, and we could not figured out why he did not sleep there instead...

In this dream I was alternating names, sort of trying them on for size, like hats (I thought in hindsight, though sadly, no actual hats in this dream before waking up, which is a shame). They were mostly old family names, like my relatives maiden names, or names of close friends of the family.

This dream was all about self-identity, and I just know that part of why I dreamed it was because before going to sleep I tried to respond toa thread on dreamviews about changing gender in dreams. I say tried because I had server failed errors, so I do not know whether I actually did respond to that thread or not.

I also had some difficulty breathing in this dream, probably due to having a lot of congestion in real life, and hat raised the anxiety level in this dream.

Of course, given my struggles with myself lately and throughout life, anxiety about self-identity is not an unusual theme for me. Who am I? I am the one who is full of contradictions, and that's ok.

I think the fact that these were old family names is significant: I am aware that part of what makes me me is my family history, the women who came before me, who changed their names in marriage to redefine ourselves.

March 10, 2013 - 5.5 hours in - 20 seconds - WBTB, SSILD, MILD

Woke via alarm after 4.5 hours and got in a comfortable chair and did about 6 SSILD cycles of gradually increasing length. Afterward I did a mantra of "1, I know I'm dreaming, 2, I know I'm dreaming, 3..." while trying to visualize each digit up to 25, then went back to bed.

It is a sunny winter day and I am at a park on a hill, with some fences for sports fields, and a park shelter. A couple of friends took me here. I can't remember why I am there so I call them on the phone and ask what to do. I think that this seems like it might be a dream and plug my nose and can breathe.

I look at the paved path leading to the parking lot on this hill and how the snow is piled in between these, and remark to myself how realistic that is nevertheless. I (impulsively) run back down the hill on the park road to the lower parking lot where the car is but feel it fading as I do this. I jump directly into the side of the car but the dream is gone before I reach it.

This ends in a non-lucid, fairly obvious false awakening where I left on a laptop I don't even have. I wake up for real not too long after this.

Dream recall from non-lucid naps.

Nap #1:

In the dream, i was still trying to WILD, but i failed again and was basically in the dream in the dream, and there i was still trying to WILD, family came and were annoying and distracting me about something, which ended up with me waking up in the dream where i forgot to reality check and decided to try DEILDing instead, then family was distracting me again and then i woke up truly, what the fuck.

Nap #2(fragment):

I was at home and we were using pigeon mail top send some messages somewhere, there was one weird pigeon that didn't looked like pigeon at all.

Dream Title: Rescuing Vinnie
Dream:
I am searching all around my house for something or someone. My whole vision seems to be tainted somehow, like the shadows of everything are more emphasized. I know my parents have hidden the thing I am looking for, and often while I am looking for it, I see them stood extremely still at the side of the room, or in random places. Most of the time they seem to be either staring at the floor or straight at me. Another thing that is really weird is that the house feels a lot bigger, so it’s harder to find what I am looking for. It’s annoying that I have to look in every space that there is a spare cm because it seems to be taking a while.

I am walking down a corridor, and I know the half open door at the end leads to a swimming pool. Suddenly, I see them coming out of a door to the left just before it. A man has his arm around the person I’m looking for’s throat. I can’t tell if it is a man or a woman. Quickly, the man bursts through the door behind him, and I sprint to catch up. When I enter the swimming pool room, I look left, and see he is heading for the exit diagonally across to the left of where I am. Suddenly, an announcement is made.

“Attention all customers, rusty screws are now available on the floor.”

I see this as my chance and dive forward into the water. At the other side or 2 small people, dressed like something that reminds me of a Japanese clown. My dive has taken me half way across the pool (Width) already, and with a couple of strokes, I get to the side. With a jump, I grab the closest clown person and drag them into the water. With a few hits they’re dead. My eyes zoom in on a rusty screw on the floor, and I notice that the other clown person is looking at the screw as well. We turn to stare at each other. Then back at the screw. Then each other. In this moment of awkwardness, I dive for the screw, and at the same time I grab its head (I’m not sure how this is possible because they were a couple of meters away…). As hard as I can, I stab the clown person in the eye, but it is really difficult to push it. I then realize this is because the person is dead. I sit there for a couple of seconds, before remembering that I had to find that person.

I am back in my house again, and I am in the garage getting my dad a beer. I hand it to him, and then I look out of the window and see him sat in the garden glaring at me. This is creepy but I am distracted by another announcement.

“Attention all, bottle smashing is now permitted.”

A brown glass bottle filled with beer appears in my hand, and at the opposite side of the kitchen near the fridge, a woman also appears. Instantly, I know she is part of the group that have kidnapped my person, so I throw the bottle at her. She laughs at my failed attempt to hit her as my bottle flies off to the side. This happens again, but on the third try, I hit her, and she gets knocked out. She then disappears though.

I find that I am now on the rooftop of a building, and it is raining. With me are a couple of people. I realize that they are part of my LDing family, and we must stick together to pull through. They seem glad that I have realized this, and then send me back to my old bedroom. My Russian friend is sat there looking miserable.

“We’ll never find Vinnie.” He says, looking sad (AH HA! This is who I was looking for. IWL I don’t even know anyone called Vinnie…)

As he says this I instantly know where Vinnie is. I start humming the Pirates of the Caribbean theme tune as I make my way down the stairs. In my head, I picture Vinnie tied up in a janitors closet. As I get to the door, my parents appear, and I know that I can’t make it. However, I know that my friends will find him now. My parents begin to explain why they didn’t buy me the games (WTF?!), and I have a break down and start crying about how they took £50 pounds. My Mum tells me will give me it back, and I start to be happy again knowing I have money.

She goes on to explain how they were using the money to adopt Grace, but everything is okay now because she is already here. We decide to settle everything with a game of Mario kart, but as I play it I notice something odd. This isn’t Mario kart. The whole area we are playing in is like GTA, but it has Yoshi in a mushroom car.

Then I wake up. The end bit was so random. I was kinda disappointed when I didn’t get that £50 though.

Awareness: (1-10; or lucid) 6/10

A lot of details lost in this dream:

I think I was at a mall. I remember at first there was some kind of out break of small monsters. At some point they were taken care of, I don't remember how. I find that my strength and speed are severely enhanced. At some point I come across this woman, I feel a mutual attraction between us. She attacks me, she's much stronger. She sends me flying back, I run back at her, while on two legs the front of my body still in front of my just a few inches from the ground. I put my arms out to my sides and run blades across the floor, but I don't have blades, it's just my finger tips. I come back on her and give her a good show of strength, my right hand no longer blade like I phase through her attacking at the heart, she knocks my arm out of her before I can get at her heart. She has her hand in me, her fingers phasing through my heart, a simple thing to kill me at that point. I look her in the eyes and we both smile. I ask if I at least put up a good fight. She removes her hand from my chest.

During half of the fight it was as if I almost saw simultaneous images of our self's in the same place, the set I didn't quite see were bigger and had a different shape. We come to some large double doors, a man opens it. The same simultaneous image thing is going on with him as well, but the image I don't quite see is much bigger then the us I didn't quite see. He ask us something. We come in at some point. There are more like us around, two groups, we head over to the smaller group. Each group encircles a regular person, they both seem scared. The simultaneous images of those of us who aren't the two regular people start to switch, we were all changing.

Me and the woman run off from this new group. I'm still more aware of the human simultaneous image of us both. We seem to both have the idea of sex, but both filled with hunger and blood thirst. Although I remember the group we left with the normal people they had cornered, I suggest we find some rodents or something first so that neither of us kill each other after our more intimate encounter. We run around at high speeds through the building looking for something non-human to eat. It occurs to me that inside the building might not be the best place to search. We needed to go outside.

There is nothing scarier than starting out at my house for me. There is always something scary about this home I'm living in. It was dark at the time, and I was walking all over my home looking for something interesting. Nothing much happened really. I only remember two unique moments. The first one happened when I first realized I was lucid.

I was in my background, there was now light outside. I'm standing behind my sister's bedroom building. I'm standing there wondering. Eventually I wondered too much and thought of something/someone I met before in this same exact place. I thought of a dark, scary reaper. I immediately stopped thinking about it but when I first looked up in front of the garage, I saw it.

At first, I was scared that I had to see this reaper again and even seeing it again brought back the memories I had when I first had nightmares about this thing a few years ago when I first found out about Dream Views(2009). It was a pleasure meeting the reaper again. I ran up to reaper and before I could do anything, it disappeared(I might not remember correctly).

I thought about another great idea to do while I was lucid. Well, it wasn't the best but now that it happened, I thought it was worth to do. At first, I wanted to have sex but I was already tired of doing that(I'm guessing), so I I thought about trying to summon Quynh, the most childish and bitchiest girl I've ever met back in high school, but I still admire her. The first technique I tried using was, "I'm going to yell out your name and move my right hand back and hope you will be there." Surprisingly, it worked! Not only did it summon her but it looked a little bit like the REAL her. Though, what I really wanted was to see her just the way she was back when I first met her in piano class. She was really beautiful before throwing a lot of hate on me. But she's Vietnamese, so I suppose that's why she doesn't want to know me anymore, she'd rather go out with one of her own or someone who's not so in to her...

This dream fragment tricked my memory: I thought I remembered already writing it down, but I clearly did not!

This dream fragment during nap time was about dreams and censorship, and how dreams elude censorship, and how dreamviews is also free speech.

I think I remembered more than that right after the nap, but as I said my mind tricked me. Out of some reason both this and the previous dream fragment show that my subconcscious mind does not want to bother with writing down dream fragments any more, which at this point in my dream recall I cannot afford! Yikes!

So it had something to do with this business that I had started. I would collect sticks and things from the woods and use them to make very basic bows and arrows. I would then sell them to people as a business to make money.
The bows were really poorly made, but they seemed to work really well. I had set up a bunch of targets in the yard so people could try them out before they bought them.
Then some business manager guy came along in a black suit. He told me that I should start hiring workers and making more arrows because people kept running out.

Pretty fragmented, but still.

Dream 1(fragments):

There was game of come kind, that had this 'virtuality' style with grids and geometry and it was somehow related to lucid dreaming. There was some sort of lab and there was professor of dreaming doing some research and telling me that i am doing something wrong in game, and a bit later he was showing me room where bunch of people were playing some game with super bouncy spheres(they bounced only on specific surfaces though).

Dream 2:

Don't remember much of dream start, there was some story about some martial arts dude that could also use some form magic and he could get sealed souls onto his side. Then there was rebellion of some kind.
Then there was one scene where some child was getting annoyed and was attacking everyone including me by ramming, then after we got him to calm down there was discussion going on and that martial arts dude was showing up again.
Then i was at home, which looked almost entirely different from IWL and more eastern styled, and there was some discussion about some game, and in a bit i was in that game. It was about something in space, i was in some sort of spaceship or space station, there were 10 space races that got to get some unity agreement of sorts, that included humans and i was apparently representative of them(sadly can't recall how any of them looked).
Then i was in some sort of museum, apparently searching for some information for that martial arts dude. There were some really big rooms and also one of guards was apparently a blue chinese dragon that wasn't really good at disguise and also he was playing in the pool whenever nobody seen him. Later on i got information i needed and i was just annoying other guards and then being chased by them.
I was at home that still looked different and eastern styled, martial arts dude was there preparing for something, i went to balcony and there were some mosquitoes annoying me, so i tried to lock balcony door by bending some iron bars with bare hands so it couldn't be opened. Then that dude started some form of ritual over the book with weird seal. The seal was apparently locking some soul inside a book and he was unsealing it and moving it to his own book, there was also agreement between them so it was not forced. It looked like some blue particles and dust were moving from one book to another. The ritual almost failed due to random book falling from the bookshelf and interrupting the particle stream, but he managed to regain control of it and finish it.
Later on i discovered that my home was apparently in a castle on a flying island and there was some other dude that accidentally fell off it.

Sunday, 3/10/13

Have been working pretty much non-stop last couple of weeks, including at nights. Not much dreaming/recall going on.

Yesterday and today had some bad dreams.

Today

DR- I'm in a dorm like setting. My auntie and uncle are visiting?

I just woke up and I'm telling my auntie that I almost got LD, had she not woken me up. (IWL I remember having "white screen" and some headrush, so I probably did almost get a DILD). On the white screen, some letters were showing up, all mixed up, but I know they would read lucid dream (ing).

They are asking about some names I have on the wall. First one is my signature, rest of them, I tell them are signatures of my friends. I'm not telling them the whole truth, because I know it's somehow LDing related.

They tell me it's dangerous to have whole names on public display and I know they are talking about LDing also.

I'm in bed, cuddling with my brother, trying to flip my hair that's falling in my eyes and covering my view. I hear some stomping sounds coming closer in the hallway. I know this is it, I should have erased the names from the wall, and I was going to, just didn't get a chance yet.

Then I'm with a friend of mine in some building. It's a long dream. We are in some room, looking for higher safer ground, because I hear the stomping again.

IWL - is it possible, I was hearing HH while about to LD?

I saw myself wearing jeans then i woke up, not to exciting
