I was with my boyfriend traveling in Guangzhou. We both had big heavy backpacks, it was a struggle to put mine on but when I finally got it on, the attached lunchbag smacked the right side of my face. We walked on and I started to worry about what my mom will think, since I'll be gone for 2 nights. She never let me sleep over anywhere so she will probably be furious with me. As we walked, we noticed a big stall on our left, it's a slipper stall, slippers made out of chicken feathers or goose feathers. My boyfriend got interested and so we walked to the stall to have a look. The back of the stall had two signs up, indicating the prices, chicken ones are cheaper than the goose ones. At the back left corner of the stall is where they kill the animals onthe spot. People were burning the feathers together to form slippers. I turned to my boyfriend with a disgusted face and we walked away. --- We were in an indoor arcade with his friends, it was dark but still alright because of the bright decorations. I remember going on several coasters, one of them was reaching the end before the coaster goes back up and drop mud like stuff on us. We were in front of the next one, I looked at it and remembered that I don't even like roller coasters. They all went in while I sneaked away to wait in a corner. A piece of pink paper was floating to the left of me due to the air vent on the floor. I picked it up and read it, what it said related to the place next to me, like an advertisment. A security came to me and told me to put it back, so I did and the paper floated even higher. *Boyfriend is dream character. 07/22/12 3AM - 10:30AM

I was in an abandoned hospital, the atmosphere was really frightening, I had a feeling that people are being torutured here. I was taken out of somewhere and told to wait by a door. The room had rusty metal walls with a really heavy door. I sat on a stool waiting with other people, they were all scared like I was about what's behind the door. We heard screamings and cryings. A patient came out of the door and he just gave me a creepy grin when I asked about what's behind the door. Moments later, I was forced to go inside. They dragged me around and I asked them if I can use the bathroom before they do whatever to me. They were silent and I looked around, realizing I'm in a bathroom, with numbers of stalls. I even saw a man come out of one stall casually. I then see people being shot with syringe so I thought what's gonna happen won't be that bad. A nurse stood in front of me and I went really still. She inserted the needle in my right ear and I felt blood tickling down my face and neck. It was really painful, like I was being ripped open. --- I appeared at the lobby of the building, I saw a man at the counter so I asked him if I could leave now. I walked out the sliding glass door and everything around looked normal. I continued for a few steps and felt the absence of the right tooth on the back of my mouth. I realized that they were tooth faries and ran back inside. I screamed at the man "You guys are tooth faries!!!" and he just smiled. *I really don't know how I think they are tooth faries... 07/21/2012 1AM - 9:30AM
Waking Time: 11:00am Helicopter For Sale There was something about being at the hospital. Then my wife and I are outside. I see a really small Helicopter for sale. Its looks big enough to hold at least on person maybe two. For some reason I think maybe it is a radio controlled toy but I dismiss that idea. I have this conversation with my Wife: Me: Look, it's a helicopter for sale! Wife: Yeah, like we have $50,000 Me: No, it's probably more like the price of a used car. Wife: So, like we need a helicopter. Me: BUT ITS A HELICOPTER! We can fly around in it. How cool would that be? I mean I could fly to work. Well, maybe not work it is just a few blocks away. But wouldn't their mom shit bricks if we picked the girls up in that thing. Wow! It would be soooo cool! Wife: No. Tinsel Light-Saber I am in an arena with other Jedi. We are all fighting each other. But we are using stiff pieces of colored tinsel as light-sabers. WTF LOL. The swords where just as functional as any light-saber. Some how I was in third person watching myself. I teamed up with an odd looking human-ish woman. Now I am looking at myself and her fighting together in a screen like on TV. I hear an announcer say, "They are fighting friendly style." I see the words on the screen. People were dying all over. Limbs severed and body punctured. All the light-saber sounds and flashes of light and sparks as tinsel collided. Then some how, the sith I was fighting and I, we eliminated. We just vanish. I don't die but I am out of the game. The focus is on the woman I was teamed up with. I had the only red light-saber. It was lying on the ground. The woman lost her light-saber and did cart wheels to over and picked mine up. Then as the sith ran to her she spun around in one fluid motion and sliced the man straight down the middle of his chest. He fell on his back. Then she reached in with her hands and opened up his chest. I could see chest bone and ribs and lungs and heart. Then she lifted him up to show the crowd. The air filled with the sound of cheers and jeers as she is the winner. Then I am first person. She hands me my light-saber back. I am surprise to get mine back as it was unique. She said something about honor and I realize she really is a good Jedi.
I'm sure I could remember three dreams when I woke up. I can only remember two now, though. I haven't even been up long. Oh well. Anyway, on to the first one! I was on some sort of "mission" that involved me walking to Montreal and back. That's all it was. It supposedly wasn't far if I just went in a straight line. I went outside and followed a gravel path that went through my backyard (even though the path doesn't exist in real life). At one point, I fell and scraped my knee, and it actually did hurt a little. I got up and kept going. I went as far to where I was about parallel with the edge of the neighbors' yard, figured that was close enough, and went back. It turned out I hadn't gone far enough. Anyway, when I came back, I was in some public bathroom instead of my house. There was a girl there (who I apparently knew somehow) who looked like my friend Libby (she wasn't her, though) but acted more like me. She didn't seem to like me for some reason. (I'm not entirely sure how far Montreal is from here, but it's definitely not close. I'd imagine it'd take several hours by car, though. It's also roughly northeast, not directly east, and you can't get there by just going in a straight line from here unless you plan on crossing Lake Ontario somehow.) In the other dream, I went to the local high school to find two of my friends, Giana and Emma, who I thought were outside the school (none of us go to that school IRL, though). They weren't there, and then I remembered they were at the elementary school. I ran along a path (which, like the path in the other dream, doesn't exist in real life) to get to the elementary school. I found them in a tent outside. I went in the tent and found that they were playing with Barbies, so I was a bit disappointed because I didn't want to play Barbies with them. Then, they left the tent, but I had to stay inside because the tent was really light and would blow away in the wind if nobody was inside it to weigh it down. (Note: aside from the setting, this is actually pretty normal, which is probably why I didn't acknowledge that I was dreaming. We all go to the same church, and we tend to gravitate toward each other after getting our food after the service. Sometimes (not usually), I'll find them playing with Barbies (they're a few years younger than me), which tends to be disappointing for me, as I've outgrown them and they apparently haven't. Usually, though, we either just chat or play something we all enjoy.)
Technique(s): WILD - Failed, DILD - Success, DIELD - Failed, Awareness (Sageous) Thoughts:I am happy with this dream. It was short but it was still progress. I don't remember all of it clearly because I tried other methods after waking. Plus it was a really boring and mundane dream until I was lucid. I think the biggest contributor to becoming lucid was the fact that I really concentrated on Sageous' idea of self-awareness all day. And my wife and I did in fact go grocery shopping that night and I practiced awareness all much as I could. WBTB. Up for 5 - 10 min thinking about dreams and lucidity. Fall asleep during WILD. Turns instead into DILD Shopping *LUCID* - 7:00AM I am shopping with my wife. (The store reminds of a store in other dreams) It is supposed to be Wal-Mart we are in (the store seems darker or dimly light) I am doing the normal check out thing. Waiting for the cashier and then put the sacks in the cart. My wife forgets something and runs off. The next thing I remember, I am pushing the cart in the parking lot to my car. It is night time outside. Then I remember my self-awareness. Then suddenly I realize. "Hey I AM dreaming!" I quickly think about what I wanted to do. TOTM. I reach into my pocket and pull out a glowing florescent green potion with carbonation bubbles in a clear glass bottle with a cork on top. (I have imagined this prior) But at that very instant the world goes black and I feel my waking body lying in bed. NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! DEILD - I enter SP and feel the vibrations. Then they fade and I move (or I think I move) because I feel uncomfortable and I wake up for good.

Damn my tiredness! I lost a big chunk of the beginning of this dream because I stayed in bed too long. Still pretty cool though. First thing I remember is driving through Chicago in my car, tracking down some villian. He has been absorbing souls, and supposedly, once he gets 100, he will be invincible. He was at 98, and he steals the souls through touch. So needless to say, I was driving pretty recklessly. I eventually found the house he's supposed to be hiding out in, and I ran into a family I knew from earlier in the dream. They were also tracking this "person," and it turned out they were moving into this house by coincidence. They had two daughters and a son, the son was my older step-brother, Cody. The older daughter was a hot emo girl, and the younger daughter was just..... Well, a regular little girl. There is a gap in my recall here, then I remember finding the villian. Just as I as about to kill him, he absorbed the soul of the little girl. He got several new powers from this, then some stuff happened, he absorbed another soul from "somewhere," so now he was at 100. We kept fighting, though I'm not sure if it was with swords or fists, and I only vaguely remember it at all. At one point he made a remark about not being able to get near me, then I got the bright idea to hug him tightly. It robbed him of his powers, and slowly weakened him. It had something to do with my "pure intentions," and holy things could still harm him. I pushed him to the ground, we talked for a while about how he didn't want his story told in a bad light, because apparently he was doing all this out of revenge (which in retrospect makes no sense). Then the parents showed up with holy weapons. I explained to them that I was beating him this way, but just then he absorbed MY soul, which had no effect on me for some reason, then broke free. Somehow I got inside his "inner world," and started releasing the souls from inside. That's all I remember.
22.07.2012idiot with a rifle (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I'm 27 and I have high blood pressure. Realy high. It's not because I'm fat our out of shape, it's a result of bad genes. A long history of heart problems in the family. Among other things that is. If you didn't know one of the weird side effects of having really high blood pressure is that your short term memory starts to fail you. On the other side of the coin your long term memory can become crystal clear. This is an odd thing but something I'm still dealing with. One of the main problems I have is that I remember my dreams, all of them. Every blurry little detail is permanently etched into my brain. It would be fine if all I ever had where happy little dreams about flying or something typical. But I never do, I always have what most would call nightmares. They seem to last hours and can be quiet chaotic at times. The dreams are quiet lucid, I'm aware its a dream but i go along with whats happening anyway and in some cases get sucked into the role. unlike most who become aware its a dream. Its very apparent to me right away. I don't get scared by these dreams. I used to have nightmares and be frightened but one summer i had a months worth of night terrors. Zombies being the main problem that bothered me. After a while I just stopped being scared like that part of me had finally died of a stroke. the following dream Wasn't particularly scary but sets as a small example of how things move in my dreams. I'll start with it since it was the dream I had last time i was asleep. i was standing in a wooded area. Maybe the edge of a golf course or a heavily wooded park outside of a small town. It had to be some time after noon. Standing to my right was a guy in a baseball cap wearing a wife beater shirt, jeans, and boots. He was really thin and reminded me of a typical redneck. In front of me were two guys both in t-shirts one in shorts the other in jeans. Both of them were on the heavy side. behind them was a red van of some sort. and I assume to the left of them was a white car. After thinking for a while now one of the two guys in front of me must of been a friend of mine by the name of Chucky. Since it was his car I recalled. We were there to meet with them and were just talking or hanging out. Suddenly this loud nose came from behind me, a crash or a thud. I saw myself look over my own shoulder for some reason in a 3rd person view. Instead of seeing what made the noise I could only see my self looking puzzled. At the time i wasn't even paying much attention to how i was not looking directly behind me but more up then anything. the two guys in front of me made a quick dash to the left for there car while the guy next to me and I ran for the red van. I got in the driver seat (something that is odd since i hate driving and never got my license). I put the van in reverse, moved back, and then drove forward down the pathway. I drove like mad. The trees flew past me in a blur. The guy in the passenger seat was saying something i could hear. I was too lost in trying to get out of there. And then a thud and it went black. It only lasted a moment and then everything rewound like an old VHS tape. We hurriedly moved in reverse back to loud noise that sent us running. When it came back to normal time we were off again running for the vehicles. This time I threw the van in reverse and we both looked backwards as I drove that way the entire time. When we hit the road in town I spun us around and took off threw a quiet neighborhood. I swerved into a drive way with the garage door open and pulled in. I got out of the car and more subtle crashes could be heard in the distance. i got out of the van and went around to the other side. Me and that guy slowly walked out from under the shade of the garage door. People had left there homes all of them gathering in the middle of the street looking up over the houses. I saw myself in 3rd person again still unable to tell what every one was looking at. Even my dream self could see what was causing all the sound when i could not. Back in my body I noticed to my left a man had come out of his house holding a rifle by the barrel. As if he planned to use it until he saw what was making the noise. too stunned to hold the gun properly he just loosely held onto its muzzle. The guy i was with must of saw this too as he quickly ran over grabbed rifle away from him and walked back to where he was standing. As he did he was inspecting the gun before quickly raising it up to aim drastically. I remember this shocked me and made me very mad. tho I'm not sure why exactly. I had this sense that what he was doing was extremely stupid and careless. Not because he could injure himself or some one else either. It became very clear all at once. like slow motion i was staring at him as i was starting to yell under my breath at him. I slowly turned my head to the noise and I saw it. with my own eyes I saw it. bigger then the houses. Bigger then the trees. Bigger then a building. A giant creature covered in an exoskeleton like a crab walking on six pointed legs but upright like a human with long thin lobster like arms. it was so large and in the distance that i couldn't even make out the color of it. It just appeared as a gray blur like a shadow puppet on a wall. its heads just under the clouds as lighting struck around it. That's when i realized what i was yelling at him. I said "you idiot!!! even if you mange to hit it from this distance, all you'll be doing is alerting of a free food source" I grabbed the barrel of the rifle and pointed to all the people standing around dazed and shocked at what they were seeing. then I woke up... I drew a sketch of it but Photoshop squashed it for some reason.
First I have to say this is one of the most vivid dreams ive ever had, but only a certain part of it. it is multiple layers. I had this dream from a previous night of drinking some tea with passion flower wild lettuce and gingko bilbo. some potent stuff ill say! So, I'm laying on my stomach on a bed, with my arms around Nada whom is facing away from me and sitting on the bed. We are speaking, im unsure of what. (the most vivid part)Then suddenly the pressure changes, everything goes eerily quiet. The lighting in the room is completely different. everything is glowing and has this fluorescent atmosphere. I feel mildy like I can't move, there's this slight anxiety building up. Then a very large dog, looks like a black and brown st Bernard poofs into existence above me to the left. it continuously looks like its fading in and out of existence. its very stoic doesn't seem to have awareness and is just floating there. I ask nada if he sees this thing, no response. I am still holding what feels like him. I sit up stil holding him (i can move now) his torso comes undone from his legs, like a barbie dolls would. his legs are underneath me now his body parts are black, not really him. I realize I've gone to another plane where he is not. I start calling out to him. I am hearing his voice every once ina while but I can deduct he can't hear me, I feel like I want to get back to him. I start to float up I'm realizing more that this is a dreamlike world but not in fact realizing im dreaming because of the separation anxiety distracting me. I want to leave this room explore more, suddenly the pressure changes im back on the bed. I call out to nada he is about to leave the room with his arms full of these colorful cups. he was going to help my mother with something. he tells me that i just passed out, I start explaining my experience. Then I wake up for real and I start to really tell nada of my experience ( weird doing that twice) Would like to know anyones opinion on this, if they have ever experienced going to a light realm like that. This is the nightmare portion of the dream, im unsure where this connects at to the rest but I just remember it, I am in this dark place with nada, it has many rooms and corridors. I believe its some sort of futuristic asylum, there is one person that started chasing us like he wanted to kill us. I don't remember how we got rid of him. There are many grotesque scenes taking place wherever there are people, I am scared I also have a strange sense of deja vu. Thats it, I haven't had a violent dream like that in a long time but this one wasn't very vivid.
7/19/12 DILD This dream wasnt recorded for a few days so the recall is minimal. I am able to turn the table on some enemy from the non-lucid portion of the dream. He is driving a semi truck. I somehow grab him and try to think of a way to punish him. I realize it is storming so I grab him and fly up, hoping to get him struck by lightning. I cant stay in the air long and fall back down. I do this a few more times but I cant seem to get him struck.
I am in a place that reminds me of a desert but its pleasantly warm and there is some plant life about. I'm with one girl but there are many people about, we get our picture taken. We are all waiting on a ride back to somewhere. Suddenly a large elephant comes up, rumbling along. I am extremely excited as soon as I see him. He is yellow and greenish hue. Very warm spirit I can feel. He lowers for us all to climb atop him, Im in this line moving along then on him. at first he starts gliding along Im not sure how. Then when we get away from the streets and start trekking towards a more forestry area. He lifts up and the motion you expect to have while riding a elephant takes places. I am ecstatic. Now I'm seeing from a higher view in the sky, The elephant has this mante ray flowy skin that is rippling in his movement like scales, sorta looks like he is gliding but I can see his legs from underneath. He is going up this cliff bouncing a long. its jungle and mountainy like. Every time he jumps to and from a spot the previous spots crumbles from where his feet were. Not completely disintegrating but falling to a lower plane. I remember seeing a small giraffe like creature at some point as well, before I got on the elephant.
21.07.2012Fights & Fail Videos At The Hilltop Festival (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I'm at an outdoor festival, Bob Dylan is playing while a large crowd sits on a hill in the sun. One of my friends has a ticket, but for those of us that don't, we're limited to the edges of the hill, along the path. Dylan's not really my thing, so I go up the hill path to look for any of my friends. The path comes to an opening at the top of hill surrounded by hedges where drinks are served, and I find a few old school friends, as well as Emma, my uni flatmate. A few of us push each other jokingly, angering someone behind us. He starts pushing a bit too hard so we start to confront him. Fortunately, he explains he was only taking the piss, and we realise we'd done what we'd accused him of doing - overreacting. A large, unsightly gentleman later grabs Emma, pulling her towards him in a strange attempt at flirting. I see Emma's discomfort and, without thinking, I head butt him in the forehead. [Fighting in my dreams, I know, what a surprise] He hits the floor instantly, and doesn't regain consciousness for a few minutes. Both his friends and mine are impressed as well all wait for him to get up, and I'm admittedly surprised at my own strength. I stand vigilant in case he attacks when he gets up. He eventually gets up shakily and goes to sit down, telling me he's more impressed than angry. I apologise, telling him it's not usually like me, and we shake hands Fail videos start appearing all around us, though out of thin air rather than on screens. These transition into rugby fails, and then into school rugby fails. I'm then immediately in the middle of a year 7 school rugby match as my 11-year-old self. Everyone but me is playing pretty badly [our team was pretty awful at that age], and I take pleasure in making some big hits.
I stand outside in a large cement area, one thing majorly stands out from the uniform man-made landscape, a white half toroid shaped structure with flowing edges and a glass smooth door in the center, I walk over to it and begin climbing the side. When I get to the top I see that thee structure didn't stop here but continues on with flowing abstract symmetry. I walk over the waves of what I can see are rooms because of various windows. I finally get to a large room with a glass roof, inside of it I see a hammock like bed with a solid curved base and a green mattress that has been curved and segmented to fit, this is held up by only a few incredibly thin cords, (here the dream skips) i now find my self watching a person in knight armor fending off a giant spider with a sword, he can't seem to affect it at all so I walk over and help him, I simple toch the spider on its back and it becomes uncountous. (at this pointy I hear a ceasing sound and instantly wake)
Well this is probably the stupidest reason I have yet to Lucid dream by. So the dream started at the computers in my school library, we had a project to do, but I had no idea what it was about, so I tried to ask my friends who were there. They seemed to never give a definite answer. Eventually the person I told myself I would see in my dream came in. The dream shifts to a classroom and my teacher asks why I wasn’t at school for so long (it’s summer ) so I ask myself if I’m dreaming. When I reality check it somehow fails and I tell myself that I’ll have to tell Mom that I still have school when I wake up. Then I don’t realize that either and continue in the dream… (which after that point kind of faded)
Toothpaste There was a black guy who was shown the germs on his teeth with an ultra-violet light the way they show in the commercials. He had been using "Ultra Crest" or "Ultra Sensidine" or something. He wasn't happy. Now we are at someone's house. He looks in the mirror and holds the light up to his teeth because he is freaking out about his teeth. He kept saying something to himself as he shined the light on his upper teeth, then his lower teeth. I think he kept saying the name of his toothpaste. As he alternated from his top teeth to his bottom teeth, I saw in the mirror that his top teeth were REALLY green and his bottom teeth were yellow. He started scrambling for different toothpastes. He piled up toothpaste from three different tubes on his toothbrush. Then I started looking for my tube to brush my teeth. Then there was a lady in the room. She said she once heard that if your teeth were really bad, you could take toothpaste or mayonnaise and snort it and get it to your teeth that way. I thought that was really cool. I pictured it going to my stomach, being digested, and getting to my teeth through the blood stream. I started brushing my teeth. I had an old style brush I used to have when I was a kid. The head was bent like a dentists mirror. It broke in my mouth so I had to brush very carefully to keep just a little pressure on my teeth.
I was in the centre of the city at night trying to cross the street. Behind me there was a jewelry store which was closing. I noticed that one man was following me so I entered into a passage and I lost him. When I was coming to end of the passage I saw some trucks loading money from a bar. There were several bars with that name in the city. Then I noticed that the money that was made in the jewelry store was split in two: 1) It was brought to those bars so they invested the money with actions. It was very risky but the profits were huge. 2) The money was taken to some other place which I don't remember right now. It wasn't risky at all and the profits weren't that huge. Over a week they could get what the bars got at one night. I entered to the bar that was in front of me, to see what it was like. I saw my friends there in a leather sofa and they called me. I knew that the guards were extremely strict so I stayed at the door. I answered them from there some stuff and i said that I will come back tomorrow. I got out of there and I went to another bar and see if it was the same as that. It was slightly different. The design of them was: 1) Near the door they had some bank booths. 2) At the end they had the bar. Then I don't know what I did but I remember that I came back to the bar where my friends were. So I was there drinking some beers, (by the way they let me pass through the guards) and I said that I wanted to drink a red lager. Then they introduced me everyone there, since everyone knows everyone in that bar and it must be that way in order to get in. I knew that from now on I was going to do some business with those guys and it reminded me Tony Montana (but of course with legal stuff).
