Had a dream about the whole world turning into man eating zombies except for me and a friend. Later we find a younger guy who hasnt been turned either. Turns out we were living on some type of giant spaceship and there were escape pods. So we get in and jump to hyperspace right before the whole ship self destructs.

Also i had a dream where i saw a major label band on live tv, they were lip synching to a recorded track. You could tell because their lips and hand movements wernt in time with the music. They were playing one of my band's songs and claiming it as their own.

Im witness to a murder, someone sneaks into the house im sleeping in and kills the owner in the next room. They see me witness the act and i run for the door. Desperately trying to find my way out of the enclosed neignborhood i finally get free, but once i do im greeted by a nice lady who helps me up off the ground after i fall while climbing over the fence. I notice her nails were freashly done and then suddenly as if it were all scripted i figure out that she's the mystery killer through a bunch of connected clues and she is shocked that i figued out it was her.

There is a gunfight between some kind of swat team type police force wearing chineese straw hats and a group of thugs and outlaws wanting to vandalize and destroy a political figurehead's home for something he publicly said or done. I was in outlaw and thugs group. We broke into the estate and started smashing things and tearing the whole building down. The owner of the estate wasn't home at the time, but he had publicly said or done something to offend the group i was in soo much that we were out for blood. The police had advance warning of what we inteded to do and were waiting for us. Soon as we started shooting and destroying things they poped out of everywhere and started shooting back at us. We put up a good fight in the beginning but were out matched and out gunned. A smoke screen began to build from all the shooting that had been going on so i took the chance and tried to run away up the street, but i saw that they had the entire area surrounded and were rounding up anybody who tried to flee. so i headed over into a neighbors yard and laid down flat behind a wooden picket fence and watched while police searched for anyone who might be hiding. Apparently they had a list of everyone who was involved in the attack and wernt gonna stop looking until they were all arrested. I watched as one officer goes into the house accross from me and starts opening up cars and garages to try and find me. As she was getting closer to where i was hiding. our eyes met and a smirk ran across her face. I knew then that there was nothing i could do and that i was going to be going to jail for what i had done.
Her: " what are you doing down there "
Me: " oh nothing, just hiding out "
Her: " you wanna come out from under that fence? "
So I get up from laying on the ground just enough so that half of my face is exposed ( like wilson from the tv show home improvement ) We both were acting very calm and casual cause we both knew there was nothing i could do or say to get away from this situation. Just then a small kid came walking up to me with a lit cigarret in his hand asking me what i was up to. I told him he should put that cigarret out beacause he was too young to be smoking. Not wanting to be lectured by me he walked off.
Her: " Is your name ( cant remember )? "
Me: " What ?"
Her: " Is yourname ( cant remember ) ? Is that your name? ".
Me: ( thinking it sounds familiar ) " Yea, thats me. "
The name she had asked me about was not in fact my name. Truth is I've never heard that name before, but in the dream the name felt like it had been mine all my life. ( This isnt the first time where i had a vivid dream in which i assume the identity of someone else.
The lady cop puts me in a van with some other people arrested for being involved in the attack. We begin driving ( i assume to the jail house ) and its then that i begin to notice that some things dont make sense. American police officers dont wear chinese straw hats. Some of the landmarks and buildings and statues I see while in the van made me think that this wasnt even america at all, so i ask the driver " what country are we in?" to which she sais the name of a country ive never heard of. I then realize that this could all be a dream and if it is, to just ride it out and dont worry about anything. It's just going to be an experience so enjoy it. Right when i said that to myself my alarm clock went off and i woke up.

I'm in England with some guy, and he calls for a halt by the roadside next to someone's yard. We squat down on our haunches waiting for something. Behind us in the yard,there is a gardening show taking place. I hear the announcer talk about daisies, but the yellow flowers I see don't look like daisies. They work at setting there flowers up to thrive in the yard, but at the end, the wife of the guy who owns the property and was letting them do the show had other plans for the yard that completely undid all their efforts.

I get tired of sitting by the road and want to explore this new country. From what I can see from the roadside, this place might as well be my home. There are two paths behind me that lead into the woods and I follow one. Down the path the tree are all twisted and gnarled, with stone fences and structures mixed in with them. I has a fairy tale feel to it.

I go back to get the guy with me and convince him we should explore the country side. But when we return down the path, it's getting dark and we can't see anything. We return to the house we're staying at, and end up getting chased out and back to our own universe. Turns out we weren't just in another country, but also in a parallel Universe.

I need to return to that parallel universe, and can do so using certain items imbued with random powers like in the TV show the Lost Room. My parents drive me to antique shop where they own one of these items. I was here before and it took a lot of convincing for them to let me use theirs. The object here is a glove that looks like Michael Jackson's which transports you to the other universe when you put it on. The glove doesn't come with you.

I enter the building and the couple greet me, then inform me that their glove was stolen. I ask them if they want me to get it back, but they don't want it anymore. Too many people seeking it out. There is another object I can use, a playing card, but it's not as good as the glove. The card always puts you in the same place in the other universe, while the glove puts you in the place you used it from.

As I'm about to leave, the wife tells me she's discovered more objects, a glass sheet that makes you taller. She brought it up because she saw my mother in the car, who is very short. She shows me the supposed object, a sheet of dirty cracked glass. Then shows me others, a comb that removes earwax, ect. I get the feeling she's just trying to pawn off her junk on me.

I believe this one was a WBTB. So let's get started. I was walking with some people and when I found out that I was in a dream I decided to try to fly. I thought it was really cool that I could glide over and over again. When I saw a cliff I, for some reason, put a helmet on. I don't get it. But anyways I jumped off and I glided over a bunch of trees. It was very detailed. I soared behind this one building and landed on my belly. I got up and decided to jump on top of the building. I jumped on the first 3 stories of the building. Then the next. So I looked around because I had a better view and I could see where those people were. So I looked to my right and I saw more people. There was a tree next to them and I wanted to try to make a lightning bolt spider web and I did. I swung down there and looked at the girl, she was trying to find movies. I said "you can't summon movies, your limited by your own imagination." She said "oh" then I was thinking how awesome it was to be in the dream for a few seconds, feeling the texture of the ground. It was white. So then I got up and decided to try running fast. I found a good stretch of land and ran, I was kinda fast. So I tried it again and this time I kinda ran in place. This time I was so fast everything was all blurry. I could see that the planet that I was on was round and I could only go in circles. So I found them and did it again. This time the planet was smaller and when I looked behind me I could see the guy behind me as if I didn't go anywhere. Then I woke up.

Ends up that yesterday, wasn't a complete loss. I found on my phone some notes that I had jotted down when i woke up yesterday. They just say "false lucid" and "dreamt that i got an email that i had to be at school at 3:00." I don't remember the false lucid, but I do remember the second dream very fuzzily. Not enough to make any sense though. Here goes for the 5 dreams i had last night:

Dream 1: I woke up and got on my iPad. I checked my control panel on dream views to see if anyone had replied to any threads I'm subscribed to. Someone had commented on my MILD class workbook, and I clicked on it to see the new post. Then the dream ended.

Dream 2: The second dream was very interesting, and I hate that I can only remember vague parts of it. Basically someone taught me that music was God's work. From that point the dream became amazing, music basically could be used to mold the world around you. If you whistled an elvish tune (like from LotR) then you could heal people or make things grow. Music could shatter windows, or even destroy whole cities. I'm not musical in real life, but maybe this is reflective of some kind of magic I could use in my dreams to control my surroundings? This dream wasn't first person, I couldn't even see myself. I could think, but it felt like I was watching a television documentary that was teaching me this.

Dream 3: In this dream I had just gotten back home from the race i had run the day before the dream, and I got my iPad out from underneath the seat, and the corner of it was broken. Like about an inch was just broken and hanging on by a thin piece of metal. I couldn't believe it, and i kept checking over and over again until it changed. Instead of the iPad being broken, only the case was broken. I was so relieved.

Dream 4: This dream was pretty long, and i just recognized it as a recurring dream sign! Yay! My first dream sign! I am driving the Porsche, and I am having a really hard time driving it for some reason. This part is really strange to describe, but for some reason i couldn't change gears by using the stick inside of the car, like it was in the trunk, and i had to get out of the car to put the car in gear. Then i guess i realized that this was really strange, and the dream autocorrected itself, and put the stick in the right place. Then I was driving along the freeway, and my dad and sister joined me. My dad was driving the camry, and my sister was driving the explorer. We had to go to this pawn shop that was far away and in the middle of nowhere to buy some specific part for something my mom wanted. So we were driving there, and the navigation system in the Porsche wasn't working for me, and neither were me and my dad's iPhone gps things. Then my sister got out of my car, but she wasn't my sister. She was a new girl from my school, and she showed me this remote that she had that worked as a gps even though it didn't have a screen. It gave instructions in text, and it said said to follow some road for 38 miles, then take a turn and follow that road for 12 miles. My dad was mad that we had to drive so far, but we started going anyway. Then I had more difficulty driving. The steering wheel wasn't responding properly, and I ended up bumping into a policeman while stopped at a stop light. I pulled up next to him and mouthed "sorry!" and he just looked at me and rolled his eyes. I wondered why he didn't get out, but I remember thinking to myself, "Oh he does not care since he doesn't have to pay for the police car." Then I was driving along a road that had a ton of stop signs, but my brakes weren't working (dream sign)! Well they were working, but it felt like I couldn't push the brake petal hard enough to make the car stop. I kept going past stop signs. Basically the rest of the dream was me struggling.

Dream 5: This was just a brief false awakening before I woke up. I just 'woke up' and logged on to dream views on my phone.

While writing these dreams, my mom was talking to me and asked me if I wanted an apple. Then i recalled another dream I had! Well a fragment of one:

Dream ?6?: someone threw an apple at me and i tried to catch it in my mouth, but when i tried it just stuck on to my braces.

Well, this one is quite big:

Eu estava jogando Dragonica, quando foi anunciado um evento. Fui até um local e falei com um cozinheiro. Ele me explicou as regras de um mini-game e me pôs para jogar contra um adversário. O mini-game lembrava um pouco Tetris, mas era um pouco diferente e mais complicado de jogar. Foram necessárias algumas tentativas até eu aprender como jogar aquilo, e logo já estava fazendo grandes pontuações.
Ao terminar, eu havia vencido um opontente. Eu já estava na minha casa nesse momento, com meu irmão. E o oponente que eu havia vencido era Edmar (um amigo meu). De repente, tudo aquilo não havia sido um confronto, mas sim um show de culinária (???). Eu e meu irmão estávamos na garagem de casa, Edmar estava na casa da Irene (minha vizinha), indo embora. Um garoto veio (de dentro da casa da Irene) e me agradeceu pelo show de culinária, dando-me um presente, que era uma caixa com um boneco (um mini bionicle vermelho). Eu o agradeci e disse que quem fez o verdadeiro show não fui eu, e sim Edmar.
Entrei em casa, e Edmar estava de frente para a sala (segurando o case do violino). Eu contei isso para ele e ofereci-lhe o presente. Ele disse que não queria, mas acabou aceitando no final, dizendo "Agora já era, perdeu."
Quando ele foi embora, eu perguntei para meu irmão se ele queria jogar bola na garagem. Ele disse que não conseguiríamos pegar a bola, pois estava no nosso quarto, e minha mãe estava dormindo lá.
Ficamos sentados em um cômodo da casa (que parecia meu quarto) e, do nada, uma bola de vôlei veio rolando até nós. Eu disse que aquilo era um milagre, e a ofereci para jogarmos bola novamente. Ele disse que faríamos muito barulho e iriamos acordar a nossa mãe, então eu coloquei um óculos escuro e ele quebrou seu óculos ao meio e dividiu um óculos escuro, juntado os dois. Saímos de casa e fomos buscar um campo para jogar.
Chegamos a um local bastante aberto, que era uma quadra de areia que possua quatro gols (um de cada lado) e dois pilares para colocar uma rede de vôlei. O dia estava com um sol muito forte e haviam outras pessoas na quadra também. Eles ficaram passando a bola de vôlei um para o outro, como se estivessem treinando. Em um dos extremos da quadra, havia um lixeiro e alguns cachorros lá. Os caras que estavam lá ficavam fazendo agrados aos cachorros, pois todo o lixo que estava fora da lixeira, os cachorros pegavam-no e colocavam lá dentro.
Eu peguei a bola de vôlei (agora os pilares já tinham uma rede entre eles) e tentei fazer um saque, mas não consegui jogar a bola alto o suficiente. Os caras pegaram a bola e começaram um campeonato.
De repente, o local já era uma quadra profissional de vôlei, haviam 3 times esperando para jogar, inclusive com seus treinadores e técnicos.
Lembro de algumas pessoas que estavam jogando também, como Gabriel H, Gustavo e Arnaldo.
Eu entrei em um time e fomos jogando. Fiz uma recepção de saque perfeita, e estava jogando muito bem. Era saque do Gustavo, ele me pediu para que eu passasse a bola para ele. Percebi que estava tudo meio apagado e não-nítido (obviamente indicando um sonho), mas não percebi o que acontecia.
Nosso time perdeu, o outro time saiu e voltou, junto com o outro time oponente. Eu entrei no time oponente novamente, mas como vi que já estava completo (8x8), saí.
Não lembro o que aconteceu a partir daí, mas o sonho foi acabando até eu acordar.

Eu estava na educação física, em frente às quadras de mini-vôlei, conversando com o Vinícius Freire. De repente, apareceram 2 skates, um branco com formato estranho e ouro normal. Vini foi tentar andar com um deles, mas não conseguia manter o equiíbrio direito. Ele tentou dar um olie, mas só conseguiu empinar o skate.
Era minha vez de tentar. Peguei o skate preto e fui pegando velocidade (isso através da quadra de basket), mas quando eu ia tentar fazer um flip, a quadra acabou e eu quase caí nas lajotas do pátio. Peguei o skate novamente e peguei velocidade de novo (dessa vez no sentido inverso) e, quando fiz o flip, ele saiu errado e o skate pulou muito alto. Eu quase caí no chão, e vi o skate se chocando contra o mesmo, e sendo despedaçado. Fui juntando as peças que caíram (a maioria estava atrás do gol da entrada da quadra coberta). Eram rodas, parafusos e outras peças que eu não conhecia.
O dono dos skates apareceu, eu perguntei se ele era o dono, ele confirmou. Pedi desculpas e disse que iria tentar remontar o skate e que, se não conseguisse, iria comprar um novo pra ele. Ele estava calmo e concordou com a minha ideia. Me disse em qual banca do camelô eu deveria ir para comprar o skate, caso não conseguisse arrumá-lo.
Peguei as peças do skate e coloquei-as na frente da entrada da quadra de basket. Peguei o manual do skate (que agora já era um barco de lego [???]) e comecei a montá-lo. Uma criança, de no máximo 4 ou 5 anos, começou a me atrapalhar, colocando a mão no skate-barco e mexendo nas peças. Eu já estava a ponto de bater no pobre indefeso, mas vi que um idoso me observava de dentro da quadra de basket. Deixei a criança de lado e fui tentando montar o skate/barco. A criança deitou nas minhas pernas e começou a dormir. Haviam várias maneiras de montar o barco, mas o dono dos skates havia montado de um jeito que não constava na manual, então eu tive que ir adivinhando o que fazer.
Fui acordando e, na minha cama, ainda sentia o peso da criança por cima de minhas pernas.

It seems as if my cycle goes like: X days of good recall, 3 days of Epic recall (5-6), Lucid Streak (2-3), 2 days of Poor recall (1-2)

Dream 1: I dunno where I got that one, but our house is invaded with spiders. I also see a TV show where a girl eats tarantulas (yuck). I am with someone else. Once again, not a nightmare. I dont have nightmares since ive started this whole LD thing. Things that would normally be nightmares just...pass

Dream 2: This one is weird. i try to be friends with Adam. I talk to him about how we dont know each other and we should try to be friends. In the atrium, I play cards with friends and eventually sit down with him. In the end, I think we kinda make peace with each other .

Dream 3: I watch a Tv show in which they sell weird items like a plaque u put in our mouth that alerts you when someone changes the channel (?). Im missing a big part of this one unfortunately I do remember that in the middle of it I thought about ways to use passive control instead of active control for better results.

Dream 4: Very short. I listen to a woman telling she hired Franco Fava (politician) to be the clown for her kids birthday and it cost 2000$.

Dream 5: Something to do about pokemon. Il try to remember it sometime today.

Imma prepare myself for the LD tonight (hopefully)

I am walking round a courtyard with one of my old best friends (in reality she's been off for a long time and isn't due back for a few weeks) and trying to break the ice. I say to her (here comes the annoying part...) "Have you ever heard of lucid dreaming?" and she says "No." I say "I think you'd like it."
"Oh really? How can you be so sure?"
"Just trust me. Try it tonight. It happens when you're conscious in your dreams. You can be anyone and do anything you like."
We go off to a writing club. The person who runs it looks like the joker and has mascara smudged around her eyes from crying.

The dream ends there and I wake up and curse myself for missing such an obvious sign.

Hello I just can't stop laughing. Yesterday, after partying around with my friends (which I unfortunately don't see often enough) I had a few dream fragments which again seemed so real, that I didn't realized that it were just dreams

1. I'm with my friends in my favourite pub (although that night I wasn't there). I fell really drunk, like it was reality: Everything spun a bit, I had trouble to stand etc. Although I was drunk, I saw every single detail, I remember that all lights were on, it was so bright and clear, just like a film in HD. I stand next to the bar and listen to what my friends are saying. Suddenly the barkeeper gives me a beer. I'm confused, because I didn't order anything. Or least I didn't remember. The barkeeper wanted that I pay my beer, because he knew that I ordered it. And instead of arguing with the barkeeper, I took my purse and tried to grab a few €. But I lose a few of them and they end up lying on the ground. I stand up, I feel really dizzy, I concentrate to not fall and finally pick them up.
2. Suddenly I'm on the back seat of my own car. A friend of mine drives my car, another friend sits in the passenger seat. I don't know how I got there but I thought that I just fall asleep for a few minutes. (haha false awakening). My friends are trying my CD's. They complained that my music is creepy, but I didn't listen at them and started singing a few lines. So they changed at least 5 times the CD's. They stopped at one song: Baby when the lights (David Guetta). They complained that it is such a crappy song. But they don't change the song and start making fun of it. Suddenly, there are screens everywhere who show the videoclip of this song. The song changes and doesn't go like the original song. I'm a bit confused of it.

I awake and it's 4 am. I do a RC, I'm definitely not dreaming and fall asleep again.

3. I'm in a bar. There aren't my friends any more but my mum is there I'm really confused. She orders something to drink: I get a soda and she a beer I don't know what to say. I take my soda and she disappears. The barkeeper comes towards me, my soda has gone and he gives me a towel. I have to clean the bar. I have to give him all the empty glasses, but I never give him those which he wanted. I don't know what happens after: I can just remember that there were tickets for a plane or a train....

4. Another fragment (I just scribbled down a few words) which I don't remember involves an elevator and a reception.

Well that's pretty much of it.

At the factory at night. Walking outside. The workers are having dinner. There is a small road side restaurant outside. It it a lively place. The cook is working with a big wok and I see flames coming out of it and he doesn't wear a top. I don't eat from there but decides to make my own. I walk to the market to buy ingredients.

This girl allows me to use her car instead of bike home. She is short and wears a blue jacket, a blouse and a blue skirt. I lost a bike part. Her car is parked in a weird location. She drives a BMW which is parked in a Thai mall car park. This scene is repeated.
I hug the girl inside the mall. I then go on to eat some sushi with my dad. This guy sitting beside me has eaten all the black ground pepper.
I take the elevator but it is a roller coaster ride and I feel the G-force. It takes me from one part of the mall to another.

Last night I wasn't even trying to have a MILD but I had a lucid dream, I think.
I am sleeping in either an apartment in a tall building or in a hospital bedroom. I see green curtains and cool air is blowing in through the window which is wide open. I get up and do a reality check. I do many reality checks in this dream. About three nose pinches and one gravity check. And also stabilized by rubbing my hands together.
I see colored balloons briefly. And they have writing on them. They are floating in front of a blue background. There is a red and a green balloon and possibly a blue one.
I am walking in a mall at B-2. It is dark or very dimly lit. I see people vaguely walking around. They look a bit like zombies.
I am still wondering if I had a lucid dream or not so I try to fly (thought: because I can't do that in real life). And I see a picture of myself flapping my wings like a duck. Again I see myself against a blue background. And I am not wearing clothes.
I ask some guys if I'm dreaming. There are about three people. There is one old man. They say that I am not dreaming. Then I say, "so I've been doing all these things awake?"
Very low lucidity though. Or even none. Need expert opinion here.

Second dream:
I go to have a shower at a neighbors place. The house is my old host family's house and I am seeing it from the car park. I see myself having a shower through the bathroom window. The bathroom has dim orange lighting. When the neighbor comes back, I rush out.

Third dream:
Me, my parents and my sister are in the countryside in Thailand. We are in the Toyota van and the road ahead is dirt with tall grass to both sides. My sister is biking in front of the van. Then my parents decide to bike as well and leave me to drive in this manual car and I can't drive manuals. I come to a river nonetheless. There is no bridge but a kind of bamboo construction that one could climb on in order to get across the bridge. Somehow I manage to get the van on that and in order to get on different levels of the bamboos I have this red tape that I shoot to the next level and the car magically appears there. Cool!

Another image. I remember Sailor Moon (Astonishing, since I haven't seen that show in several years) in the air, hair flowing behind her, looking ready to attack. I don't know what or why, but I do remember feeling safer because she was there.

Experimenting with some dream titles to break up the wall of text a bit.

0230: F. Two sentences of illegible notes.

Birthday Girl, Bro Code
0337: C. Even in a dream, I obey the bro code. I'm at a girl's birthday party. I came with Lance. It's indoors at a house. There are about a dozen people there. It's dark outside and mostly dark inside. Lance and I pull the birthday girl aside to give her the gifts, so the three of us are alone in a dark room. Lance forgot to bring a gift, but luckily I brought two. I say they are from both of us.

The birthday girl has short black hair. She's tall and pretty. She's wearing a dress. She opens the presents. One is wrapped in purple, the other in yellow. Yellow is her favorite color? I don't remember what the gifts are but she really likes them and is very happy. She starts making out with both of us. (Not the arrangement I had planned for my first threesome, but whatever) As things get heated, it's clear the girl is more interested in me. She pulls off my pants and ignores Lance. Lance gets up and paces around the room upset. He keeps saying "That's not cool." I stop her and get up. She wants me to come back. I leave with Lance.

Hell Is An Amusement Park Line
0510: C. I need to raise half a million dollars, fast. Maybe I'm in debt to a loan shark.

Scene change. I'm in purgatory. I guess I'm dead. I'm waiting in line to be judged to go to heaven or hell. The focus changes to someone else, like I'm watching the movie of some else's life. The main character is a man who died while trying to solve a crime. He's destined to go to heaven, but he chooses the go to hell instead. He hopes he can find more information in hell to solve the crime. I think that's heroic. His partner tries to stop him and says he's crazy. Our hero says he's from San Francisco. Somehow that makes sense to the partner and lets him go.

Scene change. Now it's hell. People come sliding down a big ramp into a large red cavern crowded with people. It's lit by flames and it's fairly bright. Our hero comes sliding down. The focus switches back to me in first-person. I'm already in hell when the hero arrives. In hell, everyone is standing in tight groups in little pens formed by metal railings. It's just like waiting in line for an amusement park ride. I'm standing near some elementary school classmates and they are talking on and on about boring stuff. I think, this IS torture. I think that's funny.

I yell to someone who just arrives down the slide. "Hey, I hope you can come up with the money, by the way. Just because I'm dead doesn't mean I don't have bills to pay. But it's not like I can do anything about it from down here."

Birthday Gifts, Annoying Ice Cream Girl
0716: C. I'm indoors in an unfamiliar place but I get the impression that it's my own bedroom in a house. Apparently, it's my birthday. I'm unwrapping presents. Most of the presents are children's toys like dolls and figurines. My sister gives me a new Blackberry. I walk across the room to plug it in to charge. Another gift is D&D-like role playing game. Hugh wants to play so I unfold the map across the floor. I remark how big the map is. It's about 6 feet by 3 feet.

Scene change. I'm in a outdoor mall in a food court. I'm wearing a blue shirt with faded white lettering that says "BIRTHDAY TODDLER." Everyone is gone except Hugh, but he starts walking away leaving me alone. There are other random people in the food court though. A girl from the crowd walks up to me. I'm not attracted to her. She says she want to satisfy some urges and then walks away somewhere, as if to go fetch something that she will bring back to me. I feel awkward. Another girl walks up to me. This one is attractive and I want to talk to her. She wishes me happy birthday. I ask how she knew it was my birthday. She says it's written on my shirt.

The first girl comes back and hijacks the conversation. The second girl walks away. I'm annoyed about that but I try to be polite. The girl has a variety of ice cream and she starts feeding it to me. She want me to guess the flavors and pick my favorite. I play along to be polite. The first one is dark cherry. The second is strawberry. There are two more that I haven't tasted yet. The next one is green so I'm thinking it will either be mint or pistachio. Dream fades.

0740: False awakening. I don't RC. I roll over to write in my dream journal about my last dream. I write something but I don't note the time. Then I wake up for real. I RC. I roll over to write in my dream journal. I think, wait! Didn't I just do this? Damn it! I write: "False awakening. I dream of writing in my journal."

Unstable DEILD
0811: D. Again, I'm in the food court of an indoor mall but this one is different. I'm with two friends but I don't recall who. We sit at a bench near the actor who played George's father in Seinfeld. But he doesn't say anything. A young blond girl walk up to us nervously. She says "Did you guys know there's a dance coming up?" We say nothing and she walks away.

Another group of girls comes and sits near us in the same set of benches. One attractive blond looks at me and says "Hi I don't know if you remember me." I don't but I guess just to keep the conversation going: "Did we meet last night?" She says no. "I'm on of the 'Real Players.'" I have no idea what that means. Then she starts talking about a family and farm animals. Scene fades.

I wake up and DEILD into a lucid. My view is totally distorted. It's like I'm looking at a blurry TV, off center and from an angle. On the TV it looks like Street Fighter and I struggle to recognize one of the characters is Guile. I turn my head to try to center the view. Instead, I enter a rocky tunnel. I'm floating through, like I'm being carried underwater. It's like in medical films when they stick a camera down a person's esophagus. I look at my hands and rub them. The view still sucks. Dream ends. I think, damn, another difficult scene. I guess I need to be more prepared to face anything that comes at me. Or maybe I just need to be patient and let the dream solidify before trying any control.
