Testing to see if I can dream journal from my phone while on vacation no sleep tonight, just driving, lol

Either I didn't sleep long enough to hit REM or I just didn't recall any of my dreams... Gonna try to crash earlier tonight, see what my subconscious can conceive

Last night I had another one of those vivid recurring dreams. I was with my family and we were driving on the top of a bridge way up high overlooking what could have been the entrance to Portland or some city. Someone had always wanted to take this trip (and it was a tradition) because they have huge pipes that people go into to shoot out into the water. It always scares me when I'm being told that it's "fun" and everyone's doing it. I am someone who often remembers their dreams, and they are always strange. My dreams are like puzzles, video games, mysteries, adventure stories. Today I drew some pictures of my dream and felt creative for the first time in a while.



I can't remember much else, other than I know that a lot happened and I can barely piece it all together. I have another story/life going on in these dreams. A whole sleeping dictionary of life mish mashed into surreal states and curiosities. I don't know what this place is, but it always makes me in awe because of the heights, it's like a world intersecting another one, the invisible dreamwalkers who ride above the tops of the bridge, while ordinary sleepers are mindlessly driving their cars across to world below us. The height is infinite, and the cars go fast without fear of falling. The rules of the dreamworld depend on faith and suspension of rationality.



I have confronted dream characters who act like the ones from the movie Inception. Often indifferent, but one man and I were standing around talking like ordinary people. And I told him that if it was a dream I should try to break through and he said, “I wouldn't if I were you.” I said, “Since this is a dream I can just jump off this height and I won't get hurt...I'll simply fly away”
I ended up breaking through and these agents in black suits came after me, constantly in these dreams they chased me down. I would cause trouble sometimes, but usually I would be in the real world and I could simply lift off and fly away. Maybe this could truly happen in the real world, maybe there is an intersection between the two. A secret bridge.



I remember one of my more vivid encounters when I woke myself up and began breaking through. A giant tree monster chased me through decay and time, and a neighbor and her kids that were made of wax or plastic. The mother turned into an angry beast and woke up the monster tree when I told her that she was made of wax, and went all demonic and her children...I don't remember what happened to the children..but I escaped and flew away over the rooftops to a new place...a new hideout.
There are the dreams where I've supposedly woken the beast. That or the dream guardians are new age fanatics, sually after smoking pot, someone yells "You've woken the beast." this happened once in real life. Anyways, the first dream was during these other freaky dreams, I think I was taking Trazadon at the time and it was making me delirious.



I remember I was on the edge of a dark swamp, and i saw a vampire who wanted me to stay away and a friend inside who wanted me to come back, well when the vampire came to talk to me I panicked and ran. He told me not to, but it was too late because I made it to the center of the earth where a giant Ouroborus snake monster thing ate me but didn't destroy me.



then I came back, cause I guess it spit me out. I saw an Agent who looked sorta like Obama who was dressed in a black suite, he walked down this path and said, "Don't you see what you've done Gabby, tsk tsk, you've woken the beast." and he seemed to be checking his watch. "Now it's just a matter of time!" and then the whole place rippled and imploded. Then this happened in the future too, the invisible beasts were everywhere I assume humanity was dwindling, and the roads were covered in sheets of ice.



Spider machines patrolled for bio-electrical activity, and sensed me...but I escaped...and then other future worlds with all sorts of things happening. Alternate universes...no creepy aliens yet but I have seen fairies and mythical beings of protection. Well I had another you've woken the beast dream, only this one was random...I was going to a beach party but the beast was in the water...and the boat sank or something, which is freaky cuz I was invited to a beach/boat type party with the same characters as in the dream. I don't think I'll go to this one. My dreams also equate BDSM with mind control, go figure.



I'm only now realizing a good portion of my life has been spent in a sort of unconscious dream world, more often before I took the medications to keep me sane. Because really I could enter these dreams, and there'd be no distinction. I've had premonitions, sometimes I wonder if these people I dream about I just made up in my head!

Dream #1 M.I.A. coming back with power power!






Im sitting down outside on a chair somewhere in London talking with M.I.A. We are drinking from a bottle of Hennessy, and she is explaining to me about coming back strong in the music industry. I tell her to keep doing her, and not let the negativity bring her down. She says to me..

"Watch and see man, im coming back stronger than ever! Wait until my album drops."

(She drinks from the bottle)

I told her that people goin say all types of things to ruin your image, as long as you are true to yourself, and your fans thats all that matters.

"Thanks Q. Thats why i love you man. Your soo fucking real!"

"Thats all i can be."



Dream #2 A Night Full Of Passion.

Spoiler for Theme Of The Dream:

Im in a nightclub with three black dudes and two lesbian chics. That song is playing from the spoiler bar. One of the Lesbian chics looked black mixed with something else, the other one was white with her hair like a mohawk with black and red streaks. Both were fairly attractive, and we seemed to all be cool with one another. We head over to a table and the one black chic asked me if i wanted to help her out with picking up chics tonight. I told her yea, im down. We now head over to a bar and there are two attractive ladies who looked latin. They were drinking their drinks, and dancing by the bar.

Me and the my lesbian friend walked over to the girls and started talking to them. I think i was talking to them about how im into poetry and writing music and stuff, and one of the girls is really interested in me. She asks if we can get out of here and i read her some of my poetry. I told her i would be glad to do that.

The four of us end up at this huge mansion, and we sit down on the couch and start talking some more. One of the girls gets up and starts dancing and saying that she is really drunk and she starts laughing and falls down. Me and the lesbian chic started laughing, and i ask the girl who was interested in me did she want me to read her some of my poetry. She smiles and says read it to her in the back room.

We walk into the room and i started looking for my poetry in my pocket, and she pushes me on the bed and starts kissing me. She unbuttons my shirt and starts kissing my chest, and started unzipping my pants and pulling off my belt buckle. I am now taking her blouse and unbuttoning it, and take one hand and unstrap her bra, she says...

"Damn, i did'nt know you can take a bra off with one hand!"

"I got magic fingers baby."

She laughs and starts kissing me while she is on top of me. She is now without a bra, and just wearing her panties, she pulls down my boxers and starts sucking away on me. I can hear my Edith Piaf alarm going off in the distance, and get pulled from the dream.


Final dream. Leaving my mark.

Im walking in a area that does not seem like my area. It seems like im in another country. I start setting down my hawk coin totem in certain spots, neaqr trees, and in a nearby park, and even in certain stores. I write down on a piece of paper..

"The Dreamprofessor was here."

I set it on a table inside some bookstore, and walk out.

Thats all i remember and wake up.

Random bikes placed on the side of the road is all I can remember.

So I had some dream about some sort of big game... It was very vivid before, but I didn't dream journal on DV the day I had the dream so it's fuzzy now. I think it felt like a mix of Diablo and Minecraft, we were underground, there were two teams and there was a snse of survival.

I also have some fragment about some random skateboarder.

Dream; Semi-Lucid; Lucid; Memorable; 1-4 My Recollection;

RC'ing more the last few days
Multiple times during the night I did an RC and was lucid

4; Flew around a lot. At the end I was going to a few stores.
- went near school
- decided 3 times to go flying
- 2 FA's that where with girls
- 2 FA's at my house, that I RC'd successfully

I remember standing up on a porch banister to get lift and fly freely.

Once again, I didn't have a lucid dream, but I've been going through a lot recently. Health concerns, job, and moving into a new house is effecting my sleep.

Last night's dream:
-I was at my elementary school, (every time I dream about elementary school it's similar to the real school I went to but a little off, but it is always the same when I dream about it.) My teacher was actually one of my charge nurses from work. I was the age I am now and I had to cell phones in my hand. I rose my hand and asked her that I needed to make a phone call to my husband because he was supposed to pick me up soon for a test. (Today I actually had to go to the hospital for a blood test). She said it was fine and continued teaching the class. I was very upset at the time because I knew I was running late. Suddenly calling my husband was forgotten and in my mind my dad was supposed to pick me up instead. I was getting really angry because he wasn't answering his phone or responding to my texts. At this point it was 8am and I was supposed to be there at 7:30am. I walked out of the room and to the front of the school. I thought waiting outside would save time from him having to park and come inside. A teacher approached me and said cell phones weren't allowed. I told her the situation and she didn't say anything. I kept searching my contacts for my dad's work number and nothing worked. That's all I could remember.

The next dream I can only remember small bits. I was in a workout/dance class with my husband and coworkers and we were "shimmying" I told everyone I was a good "shimmier" because I used to dance in pompons and ect. My husband kept doing it wrong, which is true in real life, he can't shimmy, he just wiggles his butt. LOL. I know this is a weird dream but I've had stranger dreams...I'm kind of a weirdo anyways lol.

That's all I can think of for now, just waiting patiently to have a lucid dream...

I woke up at 4 AM and couldn't initially get back to sleep. After tossing and turning for a while, I admitted defeat and figured sleep would elude me. Of course, that's when I actually dozed off...

I woke up to find that Natasha and Brad had arrived to stay for the weekend without warning. They had moved into the guest room while I was sleeping and the laundry I had left on the bed was unceremoniously dumped on the floor. Worse yet, they brought their dog, who was now running around my emptier-than-usual bedroom.

I headed into the bathroom to take a shower to find Natasha napping on the bathmat. I step over her and turn the shower on to let the water warm up. Somehow, the shower head has gone from being a fixed to a hand-held. It ends up spraying Natasha, who wakes up and gets angry at me.

Once I manage to shower and dress, Derek and I head out. We're at a Verizon store on Main Street. I see that someone has said something really nice about my on Twitter, so I show it to Derek. It realize belatedly that I've never shared my Twitter account with Derek. Instead of being proud, he gets angry and says, "So this is what you waste your time on!" He then takes to a store employee to cancel my data plan so I can't get Internet access on my phone. For what it's worth, the employee is on my side and keeps glaring at Derek.

I worry that not having data access on my phone is going to make it difficult to do my job. Sure enough, I quickly get some information that I need to respond to by email. I plead with Derek to let me use his phone to access my email. When that fails, we head to a coffee shop so I can use their wifi. The coffee shop happens to be on the riverfront. I notice there's movement in the water, so I step outside and look over the railing. At first, I wonder if it's a dolphin, but the shape is wrong. Instead, I see penguins and seals. The seals seem to be congregating on a block of Arctic ice -- in the middle of a Midwestern river.

Another dream filled night! I had several fragments and 2 full dreams. No lucids:

Fragments:
1. Reliving the fantastic sweet and sour chicken I made for dinner. It must've popped into my dreams half a dozen times last night.
2. Having a conversation with an alien. I'm pretty sure it was just my mind reliving a chapter I read in Robert Monroe's Far Journey before bed.
3. Mark Zuckerberg saying, "That's not how business is done."

Full Dreams:
1. We were on vacation with another family. It was a dirty little beach town with weather worn buildings and an overcast sky. We had trouble trying to locate our hotel.

2. Maybe it was the same dream....I dunno...but we were in a house with the same layout as the one we live in. Only this one was old, weathered and didn't feel familiar. The double doors leading to the deck blew open. Neither my husband nor I could lock it again. I was unhappy about sleeping in a strange place like that and worried about my kids.

A recurring "subject" of my dreams are teeth. A few days ago, I experienced the next dream fragment in a non-lucid state.

I stand in some sort of a jail, I think, with another guy. I don't pay any attention to him and move toward a window.
The window looks out on a river passing right by the buildings' wall. There's a kid across the river. He notices me and throws something towards me.
I manage to catch the object and inspect it. It's a golden necklace or something like that. There's a row of teeth hanging on it, with jawbone and all, fully made out of gold.
It looks like a series of teeth as if it were to come from a person that would get multiple teeth renewals.

As you can see here, a baby's adult teeth are already there, waiting for renewal.


In the particular case of this dream, there was a line of 4 teeth, attached with bone, though all made out of gold including the bone structure.
I can't remember doing anything after looking at the teeth.


I have already dreamed about teeth before. Once I dreamed that my teeth were falling out for no apparent reason. I run to the bathroom (the house looked pretty much the same as my real house as far as I can recall) and watch into the mirror. I see myself as I was expecting, nothing special. I open my mouth and blood slowly pours out. It runs into the drain. Can't remember anything further than that, dream happened a long time ago.



I notice that these teeth dreams mainly appear when I'm experiencing stress or sadness in the wake life...

D in Biology 112 and OctoberWind or Alyzarin? (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I don't even know what to say about this dream. I think it's a really pathetic dream, seeing as it's trying to be prophetic with which grade I'm going to get for my Biology 112 course.

I'm inside a building, but it feels like a middle school building instead of a section in college, in fact, it looks likes like the Thornton Middle School I used to go.

The flooring, the walls, and the gym that is basically one of the major sections in the school were all paired pretty accurately. It's kind of hard remembering what I did first, so I'll just trace my steps back and hope for the best.

I believe I start getting ready to run to the gym, and I'm running pretty fast too (seems I was right about speed running being something I never really have to practice much in my dreams). Then there's this female in a blue jacket that is running along with me, and I realized that when I'm running, I'm using my toes to push myself forward.

I decided to plant each foot to the ground instead of using my toes alone, and I went much faster, but the girl to the left of me went even faster than me. I tried to catch up to her, but she made me look so slow.

She didn't even turn her face to talk to me or anything, especially since other dream characters weren't even running at all. I decided to just stop running, take a moment to stand still, and then just casually walk my way to the gym.

Well aren't you smart to not do a reality check Link...*facepalm*

It seems I'm going in the gym to do some kind of fitness test, but at the same time, it feels liike I'm trying to get my overall grade for the Biology course, very confusing. I get near a random guy sitting down who looks like a staff member who seems to be giving out information or something important to other people.

I check my wallet for my college ID, and I see an ID, but it isn't the one for my University. I don't panic (oddly enough), and I had to go back to wherever (should've questioned where you were the last few minutes in your dream Link!) it is I started from.

From here, my recall of where I went is totally blank, but there's a continuation of this dream with a dream shift.

I believe I'm sitting in a different gym, it's a little darker, but it is very spacious and has just feels like I'm in a pretty clean environment. I'm sitting in a partial lotus position, and I see a few random females near me.

Then I saw a girl that I thought I would never see in my dreams. She looked a lot like Shelby in waking life when I was a senior in High School. She's a blonde female (Go figure Link...), and even though she may not have the looks, she looked cute to me in waking life, but some guys would just think she has no appeal at all.

Guess I'm weird like that, though I do admit that I looked at her body more in the dream, but just can't find the right description for it. She was wearing some shorts, and a shirt with long sleeves. The shirt itself was light green, with a mix of turquoise to it, I'm not really good with specific colors here....=(

Then I have another dream shift where it feels like I missed something....that I forgot something important....then I had a "OH CRAP" moment. I'm outside, the sky is pretty neutral and gray, and I turn right to head to a buiilding, and for some odd reason, the insides of it represent a Biology lab.

I go inside, close the door, and spend some time looking around. It had almost everything to fool myself into thinking it's the real deal in waking life. The blacktops with dark brown wood finish on the bottom, top shelves on the side, things like that.

Then I realized I had to go back to get something....(it really took me a while to realize that I'm heading back with my ID this time, but even then, I'm not sure if I paid attention to double check to see if I do have it this time).

I turn to my left, and I see someone in a blue jacket again.....Her hair, her face, she looked very happy, but she was looking down on the ground, and walking fairly slow. But I think that's because my mind was in such a rush. I could've sworn I saw OctoberWind just now.

The girl fits her visage, cheekbone structure and everything, and she had a cute smile as well. I look at her for a while to see if she really is her, and I'm pretty sure that was her.

But I didn't have time to do an ignore test to see if I accidently met her on the dreaming plane. Sometimes I wonder if it was Alyzarin as well, because I remember her wearing a blue hoodie as well in an non-lucid shared dream I had with her before.

I was too focused in going back to the gym, and I think I have a dream shift to where I'm in the hallway getting closer to the gym. I have a feeling that it's too late for me to get whatever it is I'm looking for inside of the gym, because I see a group of guys in orange shirts and blue pants telling me that whatever it is, it's done.

I didn't give up though, I ignored them, went to the right side and started to run quickly. Then I stumbled upon an older lady. She was a little shorter than me, she wore a black suit jacket with a white shirt underneath, and I was asking if I can get my grade for Biology.

I asked her because I heard people talking about the grades they had, and tells me to follow her a bit. There's a small basket on top of a table with white cloth over it, and she takes out a folder with some paper in it (or it could've just been a set of papers she took out instead of a folder).

Anyway, she shows me the grade I have for the lab section of the course, which is an "F"?

Wait what? Isn't that supposed to....this doesn't even make sense.....but I didn't do a reality check..*sigh*

Then she shows me my Lecture Grade for the course, which is a D A.....freaking D, you don't know how happy I felt when she handed me those papers for myself, and she said that this type of grade would give me a C.

For a class that had a trolling professor who purposely wanted the class average to be a 70, passing the class with a D alone was enough for me.....

I get out of the gym, walking a blindly in the hallway, still having the thought of passing this course saturated in my mind, and then a guy to the left of me said that I'll probably just get a D instead of a C.

Well, okay buddy, way to try and destroy my moment of happiness. I don't really like the idea of a D or a C in a class, but it's Biology, so my standards are little bit different than they were in High School...

That's all I remember.

House Inspection (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm with my father, and we're inside of a random house, and the owners were not there at all. It seems they were evicted, and couldn't get all their belongings in time. My father goes inside one bedroom, and it's lit up as well, and the whole place looks like someone was having a rush getting their things together.

I noticed I had a gun in my hand, in fact, I think it's the same gun in waking life, loooooool. Anyway, I had the magazine on my right hand I think, because with me being ambidextrous, my left hand seems to be a better trigger side instead of my right.

Because if cocked the handgun back with my left, it's too weak and I struggle too much, so I have to use my right.

I brace my back against the wall, and I honestly don't know why I'm all paranoid, since the house was empty. I almost put the magazine within the chamber for the gun, but I only put it half way, I had a hunch that I should just wait to see how things played out. Oh, and before I put it half way, I made sure it was inserted the right way....would be embarassing if I put it the other way and tried to shoot, get pissed because it didn't work, and then wonder why I failed, hahaha.

I go inside the bedroom my father is looking around, and I see a bunch of stuff here that should've been taken into consideration on the evicted people's list of things to get. Like really, a mini HD TV on top of the shelf? *sigh*

I forget what I did after that.

Linkzeidra, Kaomea, and Alyzarin Banned (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

No, I didn't spell my name wrong, because there was a person who had an account of Linkzeidra, or something like that, but not my name.

The way this dream was set up, I had moments where I asked myself, "Wait a second....." but never did a reality check....LOL.

First, Kaomea gets banned for some weird reason, I saw her last post being on the Rant and Rave, Cry and Complain thread....LOL. I think she posted like one or two words on a post, and then another Kaomea bans the previous Kaomea that posted?

The new version of Kaomea's account had a dark avatar, like, it could've been a picture of a succubus or something, but it was a lady in profile view, and her skin was ranging from dark grey or light black.

What what??!?!?!?!?!? And I STILL didn't do a reality check.

This Linkzeidra guy, apparently it's my account, because I'm worried on why I'm banned. The account has over 9,600 likes, and it takes me a while to go into a "WTF" expression when I saw that many likes. I looked at Alyzarin, who was also banned, and I forget the number of likes she has.

I started to speculate on how the hell did I get so many likes in a short span of time, but again, no reality checking for me, guess I was happy with the 9,600+ likes....hahahahahaha

When I tried making a post, I get a message saying that my IP was banned, and I'm wondering why the hell am I still banned.

I think I log on the KVirc client, but that doesn't work either. I also noticed that the KVirc client had a black background theme to it, another subtle change I didn't realize until now.

After being patient, I go back and try to make a post again, and I'm finally able to. Apparently, Dreamviews is linked with Runescape? Because I was on the Runescape hompage, and it said the reason for the bans were because of a "Snook" test?

Weird....anyway, that's all I remember.

Sitting Outside (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm outside of my apartment, (I'm not even there in waking life), and I'm sitting at some chair near the columns supporting the upper regions of the apartment complex.

I think I'm waiting for someone, and I see my blonde neighbor go out with some chicks. She's wearing a faded blue hoodie, and she and the two other ladies are walking straight on the grass, and then turn to the left to go inside the vehicle.

I shift my attention back by looking down to see the desk I'm sitting on.

Starbucks and C.C. (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm at Starbucks, and instead of going to the cash register, people can go near the employees making the coffee, etc., and ask them what they wanted.

It was my turn, and I wanted to get a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino, but before I can make complete sentence, I start stuttering. The blonde female in front of me that's waiting for my order, she goes over to the next person, most likely because she's seeing I'm having trouble saying a few basic words.

I finally tell her what I want, and she starts making it. How it's set up, she has to take 4 cups, add certain ingredients to each one, and then mix them all up in one cup.

She asked me if I wanted more of any of the 4, and I started to stutter again, but I quickly got out of that and asked if I could get more sugar.
She finishes making it for me, and then something weird happens.

I get a flashing view, or maybe I'm seeing her right in front of me when I turn, but I see C.C. from Code Geass (but I didn't know her name until I googled it, hahaha). It was kind of awkward because when I turned around, I go into this weird view of looking at her from the bottom up.

She had some ASS, and the moment I'm looking up slowly, I see green hair near her waist, and from that point on, I think I see her face, but then things start to fade too quickly.

Okay.....>.>

Mii Avatar Couple Insanity (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

There's a Mii Couple standing on a ship, like the upper levels where the Sail is attached. The husband has to kill his wife who is near a ledge, I guess she was too crazy, and had to be killed.

It takes the husband a while to kill his wife, but he slices the front of her head off, and he starts going crazy and I think he's crying while running away from where his wife died. I think there was a swat team or something like that.

Too disturbing, but I did see blood for once.

I believe there's a dream shift to where I'm Link from Legend of Zelda: Windwaker, and I'm going through some areas until I jump on a dark and evil section. The castle looked like one of those shady looking monsters where their eyes and mouth were the main features.....too lazy to remember that one.

Woo Hoo, a lucid last night Even though I've probably had like 15 of these in the last four months, the magic never wears off!

Dream One: I'm securing a robot into a space ship. The robot isn't very happy about this, but he understands that he has done something wrong and this is the punishment by law not my choice. I'm sad because this robot is my friend and I don't want to send him away. He starts talking about how lonely he will be and how bored he will be with nothing to do but star at an empty space ship.Then, that when his punishment is over, no one he knows will still be left on earth. I want to do whatever I can to lesson his pain, so I go grab all of my favorite books. I bring them back to him and tell the robot that These are my favorite books. I'm sorry I have to send him off, but I hope that when he reads them he knows that back on earth we love and miss him. Then my husband gets a phone call. Hoping it's a reprieve for the robot, I rush over to see what's going on. He tells me that Kanone (Spiral the melody of logic, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-GaR...eature=related ) is in trouble and needs help, but no one knows where he is. I realize the robot probably knows where he is. So I go unbuckle the robot from it's space ship, and ask him if he knows where Kanone is. He says there are several places he could be, but he can check them all. I'm so grateful, and I tell him that if he does save someone, then his sins of accidentally killing someone will be nullified and he won't have to leave. I wake up. I can point out the origin of many of these elements. I watched the toonami April fools clips before bed, then read Star Wars The Clone Wars Secret Missions bk2 to the kids before bed... that's got to be where the robot and space ship came from. As for Kanone, Well Spiral sits on the book shelf over the foot of my bed, I see it (and all the Characters faces) every night before bed, lol. I think Kanone was the character to invade because he's my favorite :p

Dream Two (Fragment): I'm driving through the small town we live in.

Dream Three (Fragment): I'm hanging out with a bunch of guys, and they're all either gay or bi. I'm watching them all flirt with each other and laughing because they are so much fun to hang out with and totally no pressure. But then one of the Bi one starts hitting on me, and I'm not too comfortable with it. He makes the comment that with my short hair I can style it and be a cute girl or I can just brush it and look like a cute guy, and that makes me extra fun. There's a car at some point and we're all piling into it. We were also comparing pictures on cell phones and I forgot I had porn on mine and they all saw it

Dream Four (Fragment): I'm in my room at the house I lived in as a teen. My aunt is there, and we're sitting on the floor looking at my cousin's pokemon cards that he was getting rid of. I decide I'm just going to go ahead and offer to buy all of them from the kid because I feel bad for him trying to save money for a PS3.

Dream Five (Lucid): I wake up in my bed. I slowly open my eyes, and just lay back and relax a bit longer, I always hate waking up and want to go back to sleep, lol. Then I notice I can hear something, so I roll over so I can see the foot of the bed. The TV is on. There is a commercial on for Pokemon Trading cards. I think that's weird and funny because I just had a dream about Pokemon cards, what a coincidence. Then I stop and think, wait, why is the TV on? I can't fall asleep with a TV on. Could this be a dream? Maybe someone turned the TV on... It feels really realistic... But then dreams often are so super real it's crazy. (The fact that the room is my OLD room from when I was a teenager and I don't even HAVE a TV in my room now didn't register) So I get up, and I start walking down the hallway. I think I need to reality check, so I try to plug my nose, I can still breathe. Then I question it, wait... am I pinching hard enough? Maybe I'm awake and I'm just not pinching hard enough. So I decide to try another one and count my fingers. I'm making it into the living room now and I'm counting on one hand, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven... then I start to move to the other hand and stop myself... seven? Seven fingers on one hand? Really? COOL! My grandma is sitting in a chair to my right, I turn to her and hold my hand out, "Check it out Grandma! I'm lucid dreaming! See? I have seven fingers!" She's a spoil sport and just says, "If you say so." I'm still doubting myself at this point too, thinking there's a small possibility that I might be awake (forgetting the fact I haven't lived in that house for seven years, lol.) But I decide I've done my reality checks and they failed, I just have to trust myself and DO SOMETHING. But I haven't had any lucids in so long, I can't even remember what my goals are and what I should do. So I decide that instead of trying anything big, I'm just going to try to get past my skepticism and take a risk. I walk to the front door and open it. Everything looks like it should (for that house). All the houses are in the right place as is the street. I feel really self conscious about the fact that I'm in a night gown still, but I tell myself this is a dream, it doesn't matter. I try to close my eyes and imagine myself in shorts and a t shirt. Doesn't work, so I just tell myself fuck it, it'll turn into a shirt and T shirt if I just keep moving and just assume that it is jeans and a T shirt. I walk out side, and down the front walk to the drive way. By this point my clothes are in fact jeans and a T shirt, just because I assumed they would be, yay! There are a couple of vans parked in the driveway. My cousins are in one, and my nephews in another, and my neighbors (from my current house) in yet another. Everyone is getting out of the vans like they're there for a visit. I wave, but don't want to quit moving and get sucked back into the dream scape. My aunt yells hello, so I yell hello back, then tell her, "Can't hang out yet, I'm in a lucid dream!" and she replies, "I know you are!" to which I laugh and say, "Of course you know, your just a dream character! You knew I was dreaming even before I did I bet!" (referring to seeing her in the previous dream) Then I make it to the road, start walking up it, and realize all my dream characters are following me. Even the neighbors in their yards are leaving to follow me.. Now that I'm awake I consider it pretty creepy having a 15+ dream character mob behind you, but in the dream I was like, "Oh, they're following me so we can do a musical number about the joys of lucid dreaming!" Suddenly I realize this is a good time to remind myself I'm dreaming, because I could way too easily get sucked back into the dream thinking about musical numbers, lol. I look up into the sky, now remembering that I am in fact dreaming. I see a flock of birds and I decide to try and shoot them with my fingers. I don't want to kill them or anything, just see if I can make them disappear because I've heard that you can make DCs disappear by pointing at them. I point at the birds. Nothing happens. I say, "Pow!" nothing happens. I consider doing the same to the DC in front of me, because they're all catching up now... but I reconsider, even if this is just a dream, I don't want to see any blood and gore if I mess up! So instead I briefly wonder if I need to stabilize, remembering that Ophelia had told me in the Lucid dreaming class that stabilizing might help my control. But then the only stabilizing method I can remember is the one where you crawl on the ground, and I really don't want to crawl on the road, lol. SO Instead I decide I'm going to try to make a Mcdonalds appear at the end of the road. I imagine a mcdonalds being there, but when I open my eyes what I get is a floating brown and yellow rounded cartoonish building (like this block set: http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/4/0/5...3312892_tp.jpg ) and it has giant floating cookies for steps to climb to it. I start to climb, but then change my mind and turn back to the dream characters. I tell them, "I gotta go guys, I'm going to try and do something productive with this dream and I have a LOT of questions to ask someone." Then I grab the nearest DC, who happens to be a fat balding guy, and tell him, "Do me a favor when you leave ok? Tell Kurasawa I am Lucid and I need to talk to him. He can find me here at this McDonalds I just made." The dream character says, "Aight." then leaves (I'm in the south, everyone has a redneck accent, even me. Mines at least not as bad as most because people still refuse to believe that I am from here b/c according to them I have a "yankee" accent, but according to my friends up north my accent is most definitely southern, lol.) I start trying to climb the cookies, and it's just not working. They're wiggling and tipping too much. I get mad, and just reach up and grab the bottom of the door frame of this McDonalds and give it a good tug downwards. It falls to the ground, but suddenly looks like a kids play house. No way am I going to be able to fit in there, let alone me and Kurasawa. I grab the edges and start pulling and stretching it. I have to stretch it wide first, then I have to stretch the top to make it tall enough, then it's only like 6 inches deep, so I have to push on the back to stretch it out. There's no McDonalds furniture or people or cookware inside, and I'm annoyed. All that's in there is a little pink table with purple chairs and a regular white oven. I remember thinking that shiny white oven looks so out of place in this very pink and purple play house. That's about the time my kids woke me up.

Note to self, review Lucid goals at least twice a week from this point on, even if not Reality Checking on a daily bases b/c of being on vacation. Apparently it doesn't have to be the main thing on my brain for it to happen, lol.

Haven't been DEILDing much lately, not sure why. I'll WBTB, sleep and wake up a couple times like normal, get the vibrations, hell I even learned how to induce the vibrations, but I either wake up from the vibrations, or manage to slip into a nonlucid. Oh well, I've been having random DILDs so I guess I can't complain. Also, I was bad and didn't journal the ones I had sunday and monday, and I forgot them. I know that they were short though. The DILD I had this morning was better:

After a gross non lucid dream about my assistant manager, I was dreaming that I was messing around with our Xbox kinect. I was doing that thing my son always does in real life, where he goes to our xbox live accounts, and gives all our profile avatars a makeover. So I was browsing through the different females, and hair colors and so forth, and I noticed there were a ton mroe options than usual, and they looked less cartoony and more realistic. I suddenly became lucid, but my mind was really set on creating a female avatar. I just kept thinking to myself that since this is just a dream, I can make a real woman and make her come to life. Just like Pygmalion! Or Weird Science, take your pick. At any rate, I was thinking black hair and blue eyes originally, but something pushed me to make her tall, blonde, blue-eyed, and a very regal looking blue gown. She looked very much like that blonde I chased around in that one DEILD. Except this lady was taller. I made her like 6'0", no idea why. She was like a damn barbie doll, but real. Satisfied with my creation, I clicked on a button at the bottom of the screen that said "Train Station." Apparently that's where you go pick up your creation.

So I went out the front door and immediately I was standing at an old fashioned train station. A train pulled up, looked like something from the late 19th century. People started filing off the train, and I could see the blonde. I suddenly became extremely aware that I was a 5'8" woman, but I did NOT was us to be lezzies. So I made myself into a tall male just in time for her to get off the train. She looked impossibly beautiful. I'm impressed that my mind could create something like this. I remember she was carrying a small suitcase. Not important, just saying. She walked up to me and said hello. I just put my hand on the back of her neck, and pulled her in for a kiss. It was a really really long kiss, and it felt really good, but we didn't use tongue for some reason. Maybe they didn't back in the 1800s lol. When I pulled away, I noticed she looked like she might have a fever. I touched her forehead and it was hot and a little sweaty. She said she didn't feel good. So I picked her up all romantic movie-style, and walked into the train station, willing the doors to open to a hotel instead of a station. I carried her into a room and tucked her into the bed. She looked more comfortable, but sometimes she looked more cartoony, I don't know. Back and forth a little, like she wasn't always clearly real looking. I went to the bathroom to get a cool washcloth, and I randomly looked into the mirror. I'm glad I did this because I was getting a bit too lost in the dream. I saw my reflection, but I was a really hot looking guy. Dark wavy hair and dark eyes. I did one of those James Bond faces and stifled a laugh haha. I'm glad this happened, because it really crisped up the dream. Things looked more clear, and I didn't feel as compelled to be so caught up in the story. Like I could just abandon this whole thing and look for something else to do. Still, I went to the bed to check on the blonde, and it was amazing. She was crystal clear, 100% human looking. She didn't look sick anymore, and she looked up at me and smiled. I put my hand on her cheek and just stared at her. I remember thinking I wanted to have sex with her so bad, but I didn't want to if she was still feeling ill. Why do I get so wrapped up in these DCs. Now I know how some of you guys get completely stupid and unfocused when you have a hot blonde girlfriend. Anyway, the last thing I remember is my hand on her beautiful face, then I woke up.

Typing out this dream seems like it was really long, but it probably spanned only about 15-20 minutes. Still kinda cool.
