Non-lucid dream, [Commentary made while awake] I'm at Disneyland, being trained as a Cast Member. I'm with a large group of other trainees, all of whom are wearing costumes and name tags. [The name tags are blue, not white, for some inexplicable reason.] A trainer is taking us through how to operate King Arthur's Carrousel. For training purposes, all the pieces of the carrousel have been taken apart and removed, so there's just a big, wide, brilliant blue, rotating disc built into the ground. It has smaller discs built into it, just like the setup for the Mad Tea Party. We walk across the disc, led by our trainer, who is explaining how everything works. We gather on the north edge of it in a crowd and listen to him talk. The whole carrousel is back in place, and I think, This is a fifty-year-old attraction, so it deserves respect. It's amazing how well it's working after all this time. There must be just one guy left who is the only one who knows how it all works well enough to repair it. As part of my training, I go through the queue for the carrousel, which is enclosed, elaborate, and tells a story that appears to be part of, or at least inspired by, Disney's Sleeping Beauty. As I go through, performing my job duties, I find myself on stage as part of a mini-stage show. I'm sitting down, looking out through a window, and when a particular piece of music starts playing, I suddenly realize: You're Belle! Don't forget to sparkle! The song is “Belle,” the opening song from Beauty and the Beast, and I join in the singing. I get all the way through the first verse, and when I get to the end of it, Mulan, who is standing in the audience right next to where I'm sitting at the edge of the stage, says the next line: “Good morning, Belle!” I answer, “Good morning, madame!” ...and then I realize I can't remember what comes next, so I just sort of stop. [Dreamskip.] I'm walking away from the carrousel, saying to myself: “I didn't sign up to be a princess! I signed up to be in Operations! I don't want to be a princess! I'm no good at it, and I look more like post-haircut Rapunzel than anyone else!” [I do have short hair in real life, but it's lighter than her hair is when it's cut short.] *************** Side Notes: I've always had a lot of bizarre dreams about Disneyland, but more so when I was a kid than now. This is the first time I've ever had a dream in which I was a Cast Member. I know why I had a dream about a carrousel. I had read this article shortly before going to bed. It uses a carrousel as an analogy for the orbit of the sun around the center of the galaxy. Also, the whole “being a princess” theme comes from a fanfic that I have in the works, and the whole “Don't forget to sparkle!” thing is a reference to a thread I've been following on a different discussion forum.

So this was the first time where I experienced the transition from waking to NREM to REM. I'm assuming I was aware the whole time, but as always it's possible that I wasn't. I'm laying in bed, in the darkness and certain things would wake me up up. Like all of a sudden I would be able to fee my body in bed, and hear sounds. This happened a couple of times, and finally I was asleep (I guess). Everything was black, and I wasn't sure if I should open my eyes or just think of something to do. So I pretended to light a cigar and smoke it. The dream cigar materialized in my hand, and I lit it with my thumb. All it took was a lighter like motion. I put it up to my lips, and inhaled, and my vision got bright red. I ashed in my hands, and could feel them, but they weren't hot. Then the regular dream started forming. I feel a flying sensation, and I see bars moving everywhere. Everything is still black and gray at the moment, so I open my dream eyes. Things started forming more and more, and I find myself climbing the side of a roller coaster at a high speed. I climbed to the top, and waited for the coaster to come by. When it arrived I jumped up into it, and went on a wild ride. This thing was doing 90 degree drops over and over like it was nothing, and it would follow them up with super fast vertical climbs. As I spiraled down the tracks I couldn't help but think how awesome this was. The coaster came to a stop (the dream had obviously fully formed by now) and I found myself in a jungle themed park. I had to find out who worked here because that was the most intense ride I've ever been on. I walked around a bit, and found myself in a big open waiting area. The walls were brown, and it looked like it was composed of diagonal 2x4s. There was a blonde woman wearing safari gear behind the counter. She had the biggest smile on her face as she greeted me. I told her about how awesome this place was, and that I wanted to know a few things. She said that she would be happy to assist me. Me: Who created this place? Her: Mr. W. (I was so shocked when she said this) Me: Who's Mr. W? Her: Why he's the wonderful person who convenes us all. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him. (I wanted to tell her that she was talking about me. I was still pretty shocked that she actually knew who was pulling the strings.) I thanked her for her time, and headed out. There was a Marriott hotel joined to the theme park. I entered, and there was two people at the desk. One Indian guy, and I'm not even sure who the other DC was, but there was a line for people waiting to check in. I walked past them down the hallway, and the Indian guy yelled "hey". I turned around, and he told me I had to wait in line like everyone else. I walked over to the counter, and jumped over it into his little space and said "do you know who I am?" He didn't have an answer, so I filled him in. "I'm Wade", I said. He spoke back to me with this thick Indian accent. He's always doing whatever he wants in these places and it's getting on my nerves. I told him that he could shoot me if he wanted it. Then the guy pulled out his pistol and pulled the trigger. *Click* Him: "It's just that you seem to mess up things all the time" Me: "Look I love this place, so I really don't have any problems" *click* Him: "You're always trying to do whatever you want *click* (yes he's still trying to shoot me at this point) and I'm getting sick of it. Me while making an ottoman float: "I can do whatever I want, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy this place. I I told him that I was waking up and we'd have to continue this conversation at a later date.
Some guy was tearing up my car trying to show me what happens when an accident is caused. He was trying to show me that what I did caused the damage, but it was actually him doing it. At some point he couldn't even break the wheel like he wanted to, and I was just sitting there thinking "I didn't do crap to my car, you better fix this". I had another where I was in some medical class. Everyone was talking about oral and pharyngeal airways. Some reason I was wrong, and I felt like I wasn't ready. I left class, and came home. I saw two pairs of old shoes out in my yard. I was going to wash them and wear them the next day.

In my dream my husband is out of town (as he is in real life). In my dream I asked a coworker out on a date, and he happily accepted. See this is a perfect example of why I want to lucid dream. This is not who I am in waking life. This is not who I want to be. This is not who I choose to be. Yes, I am lonely when my husband is out of town I get it. I will also admit that I like this coworker ... as a coworker, as a buddy, as someone to share ideas with and to joke with. Infidelity is a big no-no for me, and I also get that my mind therefore decided to present me with this scenario to shock me, to tell me "See I know how to push your buttons." Here is something that would really bother you. But we already knew that! We already knew that I am struggling with self-esteem issues and with taking control over who I want to perceive myself as and deciding what is proper. This however I know is not proper. And I refuse to think that I "need" this, so subconscious fuck off! I am going to relearn lucid dreaming, and make sure that I get to decide what I do and what is right for me. If I am so fucking lonely tonight, why not give me a dream of my husband instead. That would have been nice, ok? But no, my subconscious, you decided to play games with me. Well, I don't appreciate that! In an hour I need to get up and go to work and face this coworker, and forget that my subconscious asked him out on a date.

Frqgment: In my dream a real life acquaintance mine whom I usuelly see about twice a year were in a dream competition of sorts. She was trying to learn how to "suck out" the nightmare part out of dreams. I was trying to learn how to "suck out" lucidity out of dreams. Upon waking I was struck by the odd use of the word "suck out". Did we mean like a succabus? Meanwhile, my son was the one who had woken me up (at 2:30am) saying that his leopard and some other plush toy were stuck together and he did not know how it happened. I suggested he bring them to me, and I would look into it. He said he did not know where they were. Realizing that what was bothering was probably a dream fragment, I suggested he go back to sleep, and we would look for them in the morning.
I was non lucid, but i was with my sister playing some game in which one person lead a team to the other side of a set of courses. we had to defeat a boss at the end. 3,4,13
I was realized I was dreaming when I huge car that took up all three lanes was on the road. I thought this is a dream! I looked around this amazing huge in future city. I thought this must be what it will be like 500 years from now and was almost amazing about how original this city looks. I didn't copy something from a movie but was very unique. I noticed a building a wanted to go into. I walked in this empty factory with gaint toys displayed on all ends of the wall. There a very loud noise coming from inside this warehouse. The sounds was so loud I thought I must be hearing this from the physical world. I lost lucidity at this point. I became lucid while attempting a wild. I got out of bed in the dream world and walked to my shrine in my room. This is one of the most interesting places to go in my lucid dreams. A red dakini appeared clearly and then other forms of dakinis. Then ganapati appeared at the same time all of the large groups of people in the world that were distress. Ganapati watched over all the people with compassion.
I'm riding in a car, and J is in the back seat with some girl who's supposed to be her daughter...J has a mustache, and I'm like "wow I'm glad I'm not with her now, she has really fallen off" to myself. Her kid looks to be about 6 or 7 and she's talking really dirty....about "sucking cock" or something. And I'm just like WHUCK!? So the dream ends, and I'm in ISP...I don't even think about moving...totally gonna be a DEILD right? No....freak HI gets silly. Not the demon succubi silly, but the "my dads new GF comes into the room and sits on the bed. I can feel the bed slump down, and hear ha conversation with her daughter. What the fuck are they doing here!? I break it only to find out, I was just hearing things.
03/04/13 On the Road: Campfire I am sitting on the side of a road with some other people. I recognize them all. I see MoSh, Roland, Jake, Eddie, Susanna, and Oy all gathered around a campfire. Everyone is watching Roland very closely. Roland is finishing his story about what happened in Hambre with Susan Delgado. He says he didn't meet her where he had said they would meet. He said he knew if he was to meet her he wouldn't have the strength to do what needed to be done. He said he would have liked nothing more than to make a life with Susan, but the tower… He talks for a bit more about why he has to find the tower and fix what is wrong within it. He finally stops and looks around. He looks like something just occurred to him. He says there were parts of the story he himself hadn't remembered until he told it… like the fact MoSh and I were both there. But while he has aged, we were both the same then as we are now. We were part of his ka-tet back then and we are again… ka is a wheel… but how is it that we aren't changed? I tell him MoSh and I travel through both time and space to arrive where and when we need to be, those events in Majis are like yesterday to MoSh and me… I literally rescued Susan yesterday. So what happened to Susan anyway? Roland said he saw in the glass when she was almost burned alive… had been sure she would be… he had already accepted that they would not be together, but wasn't ready to accept that. He says part of him would swear he saw here actually burn… On the Road: The Emerald City I am on the road traveling with MoSh, Roland, Jake, Eddie, Susanna, and Oy. There is a palace ahead spanning across the road. The palace is a green crystalline color. There are shoes in the street. It looks like someone left out a pair of bright red shoes for each person in the group. We all pick up the pair of shoes that is intended for us, mine looks like the ruby slippers Dorothy wore in the Wizard of Oz. We continue to the entrance to what I can only think of as the Emerald City. There is a large gate in the front of the palace, it looks more like a palace than a city. The road leads through the gate and I can see the road extending into the palace. After figuring things out for a short while it is determined that we all have to tape the red shoes together at the same time, three times, to open the door. So everyone puts on the shoes and taps them together. There is a reverberating sound that makes everything vibrate, but nothing happens. Oops… everyone forgot about Oy. The billy-bumbler hadn't clicked his shoes together. So we do the test again, this time with Jake and Roland taking care of clicking Oy's shoes together… and the sound is even louder. The entire structure of the emerald palace seems to vibrate. The gate doesn't open… it shatters into a billion tiny shards. Fortunately none of them seem to be sharp enough to cut anyone. We go into the palace, following a long hallway to a door at the end. The whole thing looks like the Wizard of Oz. The door at the end has a sign that states the bell is out of order… please knock. The door is unlocked, however, so we go through. There is a loud voice coming from everywhere, asking how dare we enter the presence of the great and powerful Oz. Eddie says not to worry… it's just a bumhug… I think he means a humbug. I think the voice considers itself to sound threatening and scary, but it really just sounds a bit ridiculous to me. Oy is also unaffected by this, he is over near a curtain pulling at it. He pulls it aside to reveal a man there. The man doesn't look good, it looks like a piece of his skull is missing… ouch! He is throwing threats around until Eddie puts bullets in his head. There is another man there, however. He is standing in the middle of the main room where there had been a blazing fire special effect, he is holding the wizard's glass orb. He says he will give us one final chance to cry off and forget about the tower. Everyone says no, they will not do that, including MoSh and me… I tell him, "You wish… not gonna happen." Roland tries to shoot him with his gun, but it doesn't fire. The man laughs at that and says Roland will get only misfires with him. Maybe the bullets are all bad. Roland responds by drawing a gun from Eddie, Susan, and Jake's home world… He draws it lightning fast and fires at the man, who disappears in an explosion of smoke. He does not get away unscathed, however, I hear a cry of surprise and pain before he manages to dematerialize. Now we are alone in the huge room, Roland says he thinks he will have to tell the rest of his tale before we can continue… no… he will have to show us. He points to where the man dropped the wizard's glass as he disappeared. We go over to the orb and Roland indicates we should look into the orb. I don't see anything in it, I wonder why that is. Roland and the others seem to see something in there… and I notice Roland has a shocked look on his face. He says that's not how it happened… but now he remembers differently… which one is true? The first thing I think to say is nothing is true… and everything is permitted, even changing events that have already happened… I look back into the orb and this time I can see an image. Roland is walking down a hallway and into a room. There are shoes underneath the curtains but he doesn't see them. He is looking for his mother. The others are all gathered around as well, all except for Roland. The younger version of Roland turns around when someone is behind him. At first it looks like the witch Rhea, come back for revenge, holding out a dead snake towards Roland. She looks like a corpse. But then that image looks transparent, and it is really Roland's mother. She is holding out a belt that looks handmade. Roland is drawing his guns, apparently he still sees Rhea. Everyone is yelling at Roland not to do it, it is a trick. I say nothing out loud, but I focus on sending a telepathic signal through time and space… I send a message to MoSh to do the same… maybe it can get through, even just enough to make him hesitate… a second is all it would take… and he does hesitate. Due to my telepathic message? He hesitates just long enough to see the illusion waver… and then he sees her for who she really is. I hear Rhea's voice of rage, yelling curses, saying she will still have her revenge… I am thinking I should have killed the witch in Hambre. Roland's mother interprets Roland having his guns out to mean he knows she had planned on betraying his father. She quickly tries to explain that she didn't know what she was doing, Marten had gotten into her head somehow... he'd been using her the whole time. Roland has no interest in just shooting his mother, he looks around to see if the witch is still present in the room. He looks straight at me for what seems like a long time before turning back to his mother, who says she wants a chance to make up for what she has done. The images around us fade to pink. I feel a bit disoriented and then find I am sitting on the road, it looks like we are far past the Emerald Palace. The others are all there, too, they also look disoriented. From the look of our shoes we have been walking the whole time. I notice the road isn't what it used to be… not really a road at all. And the path of the beam can be easily seen in the clouds in the sky. We are back on track. Roland is looking at me strangely. He says he doesn't know how it can be. He still remembers shooting his mother, but it is like it was a dream… and what we just saw is much clearer. It is here that I wake up.
Dream recall from non-lucid naps. Nap #1: I was in the desert, searching for something, then i find some place. Suddenly huge cactuses rise from the ground and i start falling. I wake up in the bed but room looks different, dream fades out as soon as i move for an reality check. Nap #2: I was playing some Warzone 2100 multiplayer with LV, we played coop versus 2 AI bots. Game got weird in a way that alot of defense structures were being built by everyone, literally walls of towers and stuff, and we were only at the start of the game. AI was building even faster somehow(cheating?) they had literally bases twice as huge after a while. Then LV got disconnected and i continued playing without noticing it, only to be overwhelmed by AI building towers and bunkers literally near my base in masses. Later i noticed that LV disconnected and shortly... I wake up in the bed, room looked normal but there was weird stuff in the mirror(i didn't paid attention to that in the dream though), i was about to do my usual reality check, but suddenly huge pressure was coming from everywhere and there was very loud noise was in my head. Dream ended shortly.
Here I will write the dreams I had written down from 9th February to today, EXCEPT 27th February because that I already written down because it was lucid. But the other days I was lazy to write and I decided to do that now. I've also start to write up if I been sleeping at home or at my gf's house. I will write (home) if I slept home, and (gf) if I slept at my gf's place. And (?) if I haven't written it up. 9th February (gf) Bedtime: no idea Final Wakeup: no idea Fragment: I had 4-some 13th February (home) Bedtime: 03:40 Final Wakeup: 10:00 Fragment: Brazzers, a girl squirt 18th February (gf) Bedtime: 23:35 Final Wakeup: 10:25 Fragment: I put my gf on Google latitude as she didn't bother doing it herself 22th February (home) Bedtime: 01:20 Final Wakeup: 11:15 Fragment: I watched some video show where they drove F1 cars and jumped over obstacles etc. Dream: I begun a karate sport with some gangsters.

It was like I could live inside my room 24/7 as I had toilet, food and all that's needed for living. That's all. I sure had more dreams and fragments, but there between days I sometime forgot to unpack my dream journal as I moved to and from my gf and dads home. I also was quite so lazy. I had some fragments and dreams that I had in my mind when I woke up, but that I never wrote down. However, I counted those dreams and fragments in my counting, as I still had remember them after some hours of being awake.
Sunday 3/3/13 - bed at 12:30am - 8:50am B-complex at bedtime some dreams DR1 I'm at some meeting, signing attendance book DR2 Get yelled at by someone and I stand up to her. Monday 3/4/13 Nap 11ish - 12:30am Got either DILD or WILD. And added 1 DEILD to it. Not remembering much, because continued sleeping thinking I hook another DEILD to it. FIRS TIME EVER - vibrations in face and not the usuall torso. I'm sitting on a chair, rocking backwards, until I overdo it and back of the chair leans all the way to the ground in a slow and gentle motion. I realize I could do this to induce and keep doing it. I'm sitting on a train, my dad is standing and talking to me. I'm half asleep, when I realize i can see him with eyes closed. I figure it would be fun to follow him so I get up and follow him. We come to a building I know my friend lives in so I decide to go check out her bedroom and next time I'm there to see if what I saw was correct. *IWL, they are cutting trees nearby and using the shreader so it's very loud in my apartment. But I had a LD before in lots of noise, so i tried today as well. Iw was ok, but couln't get a long chain going. It's ok, I'm happy. Thank you, come again

Tuesday, 4th of March. Had a horrible nights sleep last night, woke up a lot but from noises and being cold, not from the end of REM Cycles. So, didn't remember and dreams last night, no need to be angry though, nothing I could do about it! I still awoke pretty grumpy how ever as I did have a lack of sleep, still am staying confident on dream recall!
