I was a passenger in Seth's car heading to his house I think. First we are driving up the highway then we are headed away from his house down another road. The driving scenes had been skipping a little. Seth started to pass other cars and it seemed like it took a long time to pass them at moderate speeds.

Then while we drove normal some guy did some crazy driving and cut us off. It was at this time that I began to notice how crazy the roads were. My head was resting on the dash while I thought about the driving and where we were headed. I commented about everyone's driving and looked in the rear-view mirror. There swerving all through traffic was a cloaked figure with a flying desk about 2 to 3 feet off the ground. He was dressed all in black and had a large hat. Everything he wore waved about like a spirit...(almost dementor like but not so dark and decaying.) His desk and chair were also wavy and black. The desk itself was small and almost resembled a keyless keyboard with pointed wavering ends. He was following us.. I mentioned the guy in the desk as a case in point. ...

"Wait a sec" I thought "Crazy driving, skipping places, Flying Desk".... I did a reality check. My hand looked normal but I counted 6 fingers.... I remained calm but no sooner had I RCd than I woke up.

3:40am

At work in the maintenance shop talking to other maintenance guys. One of them has dry skin on his face and they are discussing ways to prevent, treat and cure dry skin. The scene shifts and we are on the plant floor which looks a little more like a convention centre than usual. We are following a guy who works for a company that provided us with an air dryer system for our compressors.

We stop in front of the new unit and we all lean in to hear what he is saying. There is lots of ambient noise as usual. He starts going through operation of the machine and basic maintenance. He stresses that we should try to conserve battery life by keeping the volume down on the machine. ..."There has been allot of places that I've visited where the operators had the alarms all the way up and I'm just sick of it."....He continued by saying we should keep it as quiet as someone doing technical work at a nuclear plant (like they needed to concentrate heavily)

I asked how we would be able to hear the machine if we had it so quiet.. My brain must have been thinking about music because I asked if there was an 1/8th inch audio jack....."What??"..."Is there an 1/8th inch audio jack?... Then I thought I spotted one "Oh there it is....wait that is just an ethernet port," I went on to suggjest that they get some sort of wifi / bluetooth thing going on because it would be realy hard to hear the alarm otherwise.

A nice long WILD in which I had a missle flying on a kite string, and would let it pull me along really fast.
This WILD lasted for perhaps 20 to 30 minutes and my recall is a little fuzzy on some parts. Basically I had another quiet morning to WILD, and it did not go as smoothly, but after about 30 minutes I got it. In one of the first scenes I drempt up a rocket that was tethered by a long kite string. At the end of the string was a triangle handle like for water skiing. I could ignore it and stand still or decide to get pulled super fast behind it. I raced across open landscapes for awhile, then along a freeway.
I landed and walked around the landscape trying to make the DCs more vivid. I went into a grocery store and the DCs were animated and pretty life like, but when I tried to talk with a random shopper, his voice was muffled and unintelligible. I am sure I could infer or understand what a DC wanted to say, in a sense, but the audible component would not develop well. I tried to closely examine a female DC but shee shrunk in prespective and seemed only the size of a doll.

Oh well, I went back outside and flew around behind my rocket on a freeway again, then landed where I decided a university was. I went inside annd saw people from my past, about 5 or 6 randomly selected DCs from waking life (decades past). I almost got distracted into a nonlucid state by conversation (audio in check now). I was hoping for a female DC to come along on my adventures, but these were animated and exibited free will, so I decided I should try to convince one rather than force my will on thhe dream. DCs that have no animation can be to puppet like and offer little of intrest, so I left them with free will and wandered away down by where I decided a coast was to look at what DCs would randomly pop up. I used the rocket kiite again. I saw DCs but did not succesfully engage with them, tthey were again kind of puppet like, so I went back to the room with the interesting DCs.

Before I got there the scenery was loosing color and becoming somewhat washed out. I almost lost the dream here. I started to look at my hands and do some mudra (hand postures) but it was fading fast. I tried to visualize my hand and move just a finger. The visual quality had gone down to black and white cartoon like. I think I was loosing REM but tried to hold on. The weird problem I had was attempting to move my dream hand brought awareness of my waking hand which twitched and tried to move. I had to be very careful here. I stopped trying to move the fingers out of fear that this would now wake me. I just intensely stared at my dream hand until it came back into focus. I suceeded in stabilizing and this bought me about 5 more minutes.

The scenery was now vague and washed out, having a more line drawn feel to it. I went back to the room with the animated DCs. They were kind of blurry and interacting with them had devolved to assuming who a blurry person might be and exchanging thoughts, as the audio was also getting washed out. I went outside instead. I started flying bejind my rocket kite back down to the beach and then along a city street. The visuals had started to recover, but still lacked. I think I had used up all the REM for awhile. I enjoyed flying for a couple minute around the town before I woke. Dur~20-30 min.

Alice In Wonderland Syndrome [Non-Lucid]

There was a huge storm raging all night long, so the thunder (and my cat meowing) woke me up occasionally. At one point in the early morning I was pretty awake but I didn't really want to get up for Christmas yet, so I rolled over to the side of the bed and ended up smoking a little bit of weed. I closed my eyes and then started drift off again. In the past, smoking weed with a WBTB-ish has led to some very trippy experiences with non-lucid hypnagogia, but never actually into a dream or OBE as of yet. (Though I have had it happen at the beginning of the night.) This was the first time I really got this far, and it was pretty interesting.

At first there are many indistinguishable voices and other noises running through the background of my mind. These would persist throughout the entire experience. Suddenly, I was in what appeared to be a dorm room, and I believe I perceived it as mine. I wasn't totally sure what was happening, but I noticed a TV sitting on the floor. On it, there was some video game room that was sliding and turning in a very smooth and rendered fashion, it had a very unreal feeling to it which matched exactly the patterned effects I get when seeing a room heavily distort and shift perspective on a hallucinogen. I began to feel as though I was having an out-of-body experience, even though I was just watching this on TV (and strangely, this isn't the first time TV sensations have transferred to me in a wake-induced dream), and I could even feel myself going into third-person camera mode and leaving my body even though none of this was visually happening. I looked over and there was someone there, though I can't remember who now, next to a tray of used dishes and champagne glasses, and in the glasses there were bees flying around. This seemed mildly odd to me, and I remember talking to the person but I can't remember what was said. I still felt quite bizarre and I turned around to find that my perception of reality was becoming very distorted. I felt as if I was sinking into the room while it was simultaneously sinking into me, if that makes any sense. I also had Alice in Wonderland syndrome, where size proportions are not correct. I felt extremely big and like I was trapped in this now very tiny room, and the voices still playing through my mind were starting to make me paranoid. I vaguely remember thinking that my parents were going to be coming into the room and that I wouldn't be able to face them like this, or something along those lines. Not long after, the whole thing fell apart. I continued hearing voices momentarily as I was waking up, and then when I returned to full consciousness they finally faded away.

Bizarre stuff. I'm starting to wonder if the weed is pushing the dream into really trippy territory in the same way it would enhance the effects of a hallucinogenic drug. And if that's the case, I definitely have some more experimenting to do....

Bedtime 12:30A
5MG Melatonin

WBTB 5AM
Strong Coffee, 2MG Melatonin, 200MG B6
I was up only for a few minutes and then did SSILD.

#110 New exit tests

I have some dream about being at the mall. My wife was working there. Something about the maintenance doors and something needed for security. I sit down at a table and have a cup of coffee. I take a drink and am reminded of something. The memory that I wanted to LD wakes me a little. I am in the void and I say to myself, "That coffee kicked in fast." Then I remember that I have been dreaming already so It's been a while.

I relax and DEILD.

I go straight into SP. I get up like usual. I am standing and I try to see by opening my eyes. I feel like my real eyes open so I close them. I wake a little.

I relax and DEILD.

Sp again. I just relax and focus. I feel like I am spinning. When it stops I try to imagine a rope above me running horizontal. I reach both hands up and make a motion like I am pulling my self toward the headboard. It doesn't work. In fact, I wonder if I am really awake and just making hand motions in the air. I stop and try it different. Imagine floating in the same direction to phase out through the wall. It feels like my body is dragging on the sheets and bunching them up I come to a stop. Our headboard is made of metal bars and my head gets through but my right shoulder hits a bars and I stop. The sensation is realistic. Sold and solid. In real life my head would not even fit between the bars so this was encouraging. I wake a little.

I relax and DEILD.

After the vibrations settle. I relax and reach up with my hands and try to pull myself through this way. The bars feel realistic in my hands. Again my head gets it but my only my right shoulder catches a bar. I pull harder (Not nearly hard enough) but the feeling on my shoulder increases slightly. Giving up too easily I stop. I wake a little.

I relax and DEILD.

I get vibrations again. This time I think to do just do more visual. I relax and let my imagination go some but still focus on the dream. My hands and arms feel floaty like there is no gravity. I can see now. I am still laying in bed but I can see the wall at the head of the bed. There is no window but I see a shelf with some trophy on it. I can see it has fallen over and is on its side. I can see the golden head of what looks like Oscar. On a whim I reach for it. I try TK. I think I see it floating to me but when I try to grasp it there is nothing. I wake up a little.


This time I am fooled by an FA. I think I have to pee. I think I will sip some more coffee and try again. I am peeing but it feels odd. I realize I am dreaming but I am so worried that I am actually peeing the bed that I jolt awake

All is dry. I think if I had a little more determination I could have phased through. Getting out of my house is a bitch and for some reason the OBE style dreams are the most common for me.

Lucid time: maybe 5 min
Sleep time after WBTB: approx 70 min

can't post anywhere. I have been trying fore houres. looks like i can only post in my dream journal.

Oh ... bugger it. It is less than 10% of the book so here is the interview:

Question (Q1):

What are enzymes?

Dr. Edward Howell

Enzymes are substances which make life possible. They are needed for every chemical reaction that occurs in our body. Without enzymes, no activity at all would take place. Neither vitamins, minerals or hormones can do any work without enzymes.

Think of it this way: Enzymes are the "labor force that builds your body just like construction workers are the labor force that builds your house. You may have all the necessary building materials and lumber, but to build a house you need workers, which represent the vital life elements.

Similarly, you may have all the nutrients - vitamina, proteins, minerals, etc., for your body, but you still need the enzymes - the life element - to keep the body alive and well.

Q2:

Are enzymes then just like chemical catalysys which speed up various reactions?

Dr. Edward Howell:

No. Enzymes are much more than catalysts.

Catalysts are only inert substances. They possess none of the life energy we find in enzymes. For instance, enzymes give off a kind of radiation when they work. That is not true of catalysts. In addition, although enzymes contain proteins - and some vitamins - the activity factor of enzymes has never been synthesized.

Moreover, there is no combination of proteins or any combination of amino acids or any other substance which will give enzyme activity. There are proteins present in enzymes. However, they serve only as carriers of the enzyme activity factors.

Therefore, we can say that enzymes consist of protien carriers charged with energy factors just as a battery consists of metallic plates charged with electrical energy.

page 18

(Q3):

Where do the enzymes in our bodies come from?

Dr. Edward Howell:

It seems we inherit a certain enzyme potential at birth.

This limited supply of activity factors of life force must last us a lifetime. It's just as if you inherited a certain amount of money. If the movement is all one way - all spending and no income you will run out of money.

Likewise, the faster you use up your supply of enzyme activity, the quicker you will run out. Experiments at various universities have shown that, regardless of the species, the faster the metabolic rate, the shorter the life-span.

Other things being equal, you live as long as your body has enzyme activity factors to make enzymes from. When it gets to the point that you can't make certain enzymes, then your life ends.

(Q4): later.

So this is based in my house and the scene is repeated usually in my room, so my mum has a a husband but she doesn't have one in real life, so my sort of step dad has these two assistants who visit my room every night and to steal stuff from my room, nothing else and I'm always scared of them even though they never hurt of me. When these two men open the door they point a flashlight at me everytime to see if I'm asleep, usually I wake up when they do that but one time I woke up and they were in my room already. They visited me twice in the dream. the first time they opened the door I said "Eh" I struggled to say it cause I felt like my body was paraliyzed and really tired, they closed the door immedietly. I then told my mum to tell my stepdad to get them the hell out cause they've been doing that ever since the stepdad arrived (never managed to steal anything) She believed in me but then my stepdad didn't, he told me I just wanted attention and the reason I wanted attention was because I was a slut (I AM NOT!) The next day they came back like most of the time, pointed the flashlight at me again but this time I felt paralyzed, tired and sick. I couldn't speak I just watched them walk around me room nothing else. I would wake up really scared and I almost had a panic attack when I saw my bedroom door was wide open but then I realized my cat was on my bed so it was him.

NOTE: I've been doing 9 purif breathing almost every night this week, except once when I was too tired. Then I did some reverse RC/ADA, but I can barely do it every hour. Will continue for another week. I also do zhine meditation focusing on the breath, but I can barely do so without my mind jumping to dozens of other thoughts.


6:10 a.m.

A red scorpion with a jeweled yellow crown.

Running away from a demon, which does not react to banishing techniques we know.

There's a book that might be available in a moving bookstore. I or someone else said that we've looked through a lot of bookstores already, but it's worth a try. The book is available. The price should be around 400 or 450 pesos, but the vendor changed it to 1000 or 2000. I declined, then he started to move his mobile bookstore away. I or something else killed him. I vaguely remember throwing the mobile bookstore into bits. Something fell off the sky and trashed the dilapidated bookstore. I think the book has something we can use against the demon. I recall seeing my crush (B.Sasdfasdf), but not sure what happened.

An escape.

9:35 a.m.

Running or escaping. Going up and down a building. There's a way to go up or down. An elevator and a zip line.

A subdivision of sorts. There's a race of robots or something that became human, and some turned into animals. some are talking about losing pride for turning into animals, but some think that humans are not any better than animals. There are those who look at the mortal humans as dangerous or something to be wiped out.

The human leader of the particular subdivision is a strong, old woman who gives wise counsel. The robot-turned-humans wanted a place to live in, and was thinking of eliminating the humans there. The wise old woman appeared and suggested they extend the subdivision, so it will benefit all. They will have to restructure, which means a lot of people, including the old woman, will be displaced, but they'll make temporary shelters until the renovations are complete.

A kingdom. We aim to protect it. Various knights. Animals. We have to talk to them, not fight them. On the map. Collecting the 9k+ from each knight on the map. Some are being killed?

A red stone that cancels vampirism. It eats whatever makes the person a vampire.

I had 2 LD before joining DreamViews.

Last night i was thinking alot about being lucid, tryed to tell to my head that i will have lucid dream tonight and thought about it before going to bed.

I have started doing RC's but it was like 2nd day doing it and it wasn't regular.

But as i know now, it was enought to trigger my LD!

I just tryed to look at watch and somehow i couldn't, then quickly check other watch and it was something unnatural, so i got that shock to my body and light on me ( i don't know if you feel the same then you're starting to be lucid ).

I felt very happy and was so exited!! I mean really exited!! So i almost woke up, i almost felt my body moving in real world and i quickly closed my eyes and said to me "RELAX!!!" and it really got to steady dream I was in my room, i tryed to create objects i closed my eyes and thought about object i opened up my eyes and it wasnt there, tryed a few times and no effect. And i think i just woke up. After i woke up i felt asleep again, but it was normal dream and not lucid...

At home in WV outside in driveways. Nick R. and Shawn H. show up. Talk to Shawn about being a cop. Nick is in trouble charged with murder. He came to me in desperation. All I could give him was sympathy and love. He was wearing a borrowed black waiters uniform for his court appearance. Something about guns. Charges were dropped and he would be free. We were walking in my neighborhood and I couldn't find something (almost lucid) then I turned and Shawn was now a zombie. Nick and I ran back to my house. Somehow the dream shifted and I am alone looking across a country club golf course. I walk across to go to this store to get a gift for a small boy (who?) while I'm there I start singing with an older lady in the store. We want to get together later, so I am giving her my number - and can't write the number correctly - should trigger lucidity - it did briefly, but woke up.

At some point I was taking care of some little boys - not sure why, who or how.

11:30pm

I am at a party in a large warehouse and people are dancing. It still a pretty big room but small by comparison. There are disco lights and smoke. There are several groups between me and my girlfriend who I see dancing and having a good time. I am extremely tired and because of the setting I started to feel drunk like I haven't been in a long time. Next to me is a really cute girl dancing and she starts to flirt with me. I'm too tired to participate and besides I have a girlfriend. I lean up against the wall. I close my eyes and start to slide down the wall till I am lying on the floor. I didn't want my girlfriend to see me drunk but still was wishing she would come take care of me.

I fall asleep for a bit. When I wake up the lights are out and everyone had gone to sleep where they were. A giant quilt covered the whole room and only the people along the wall could pop their heads out. Most had paired up but nothing sexy had gone on. I wondered why my girlfriend hadn't laid down next to me. Instead, the flirt was next to me and she was playing with my hair and starting to cuddle up. I was way to tired to move and so I let her do her thing. Our legs were touching when I sat up to see where my girlfriend was. I couldn't see here but thought that she was probably one of the lumps under the quilt about 15' away where she had been dancing.

Still exhausted I plop back down to the floor. The flirt plays with my hair some more and then I hear my girlfriends voice saying something along the lines of "WTF...what is going on here.. you letting her..."...I don't have an explanation. I'm to tired to give an explanation. Being as tired as I was would have worked but I was to tired to even think of that. For those few moments my GF was pissed but then she became totally unconcerned.

Apparently she had been loving the huge climbing wall in the next room and was climbing alone while everyone slept. The flirt and I followed her there as she put on fall protection and a hard hat (like I have at work). The climbing wall covered every wall of this part of the warehouse and extended across the ceiling. There was also metal scaffolding and walkways above the middle of the floor.

I felt concerned that my GF had been climbing without someone to watch her. Trying not to sound too bossy I ask her not to climb by herself because it is dangerous. I say something about needing to go home but GF says that we don't exactly have one of these at home and wants to keep climbing. As the dream fades I see more of what is in the warehouse. There is heavy industrial extrusion dies with eye hooks on them. Climbing rope and chains are run though the eye hooks...............Wake up

11:30pm

The first part was like watching a tv show. A teenage girl (from the Disney channel I think) was having a bad dream. I think people and things were disappearing. Soon enough she realizes that she is dreaming. She starts yelling at the top of her lungs "Wake up, wake up, wake up!!!!" The way she shouted reminds me of Dawn's tantrums from the show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer".

She sits up in bed and realizes that she just had a false awakening. We do a reality check and I become lucid. I feel extremely tired and sit up in bed. Not thinking to anchor my dream I try to change the lighting by waving my hands around. Faint, glowy, swirls appear in my bedroom but nothing more as would be expected.

Still very tired I feel myself start to wake up. I see a blue dot appear on my wall and I think it might be my real life clock. I closed my eyes tight and count..."one one thousand, two one thousand....." The dream stabilizes and and despite my exhaustion I get up and walk toward the door that leads outside my home. I was hoping for the scene to change into a beautiful landscape.

The room is very different now. Instead of a queen size bed in the middle of one wall, I get off of a twin size bed in the corner. I see my girlfriend sleeping on a futon mattress near the door but I keep walking..slowly because I am still so tired.

I finally reach the door but as I reach for the knob a creature runs along the wall across the door and of down the other wall. It scared me at first but I knew that I was dreaming and caught a glimpse of it as it passed. It was only a dream tabby cat running on the wall. After that there were big puppies everywhere around my feet and on the ceiling. They curled up against my legs and I grabbed an adorable pup off the wall. I brought it in to let it lick my face but it was dark and I couldn't see its face... perhaps I was holding it backwards..........Wake up.
