I was in my living room. I do the Finger Count RC. First thing I can think of doing is flying. I jumped toward the kitchen, aiming for the door, and faceplant into my tile floor. (no pain.., curious) I look up and see an old mac monitor I'm unable to make out what's on it. I wake up here.
I don't remember much, but what I did remember was pants-wettingly scary. I am walking down a street near my house. I em nomming on a brick of cheese. That is all.
The dream itself was some sort of methaphore... Of a Labyrinth. While the Labyrinth is a metaphore of life itself. Everyone is always looking for something in the labyrinth. I was looking for my prince charming(lol). At first it was this dream about three simplistic people... two boys - green and blue and a girl - pink. They were all living in one house. They were both very possessive of the girl and fought over her. The green one was the one in control of the girl the most, but the blue one was persistent too. In the end, the green one locked the girl and everything about her in a giant bubble in order to not let the blue boy get her. It appeared that I became the pink girl later on... I remember one part of the dream later on, where I was climbing on various wooden structures under the roof of this house... and some person was climbing with me. I wasn't afraid of heights there(it has prevented me from doing a few things in my dreams before. It was getting annoying... ) and was a bit suprised about it. By the house of the two boys and the girl, there was a wheat field and a road and a windmill too, I think.. the countryside, basically. I was the pink girl and there was a horse and a rider chasing me. I knew I was looking for my prince charming, but I had to escape from the horses first. I ran around the wheat field(the wheat was hard to get through...). I even saw my prince(He was a normal guy. Not dazzlingly awesome or anything. ) and tried to run towards him. but then I realised I was tied to a rope that was tied in the middle of the wheat field somewhere. I had to complete that thing with the chasing first, before going to him.... I think that before the prince came to the house and I got released from the bubble. It was like... I went through all the fighting and bubbling with no complains, and then I complained and tried to avoid the task of the rider chasing me.
I'm back on my Seroquel, for anxiety, and my dreams last night and this morning were amazing. Let's see... where to begin. Last night, I dreamed of talking with my JW [Jehovah Witness] friend. She lit up a cigarette (I was already smoking) and I cocked my head at her. I asked if she was sure she wanted to do that and she said yeah. It was only a half-jobby. Another JW walked in and was obviously uncomfortable. She (?) soon left and I told Roxanna she would be in trouble for talking with me and for smoking. She told the lady before she left that she was putting the cigarette out. That she prayed and found she hadn't needed it after all. She was asking the woman not to tell on her, but I knew it was pointless. Then the room filled up with JW's. They were having a meeting in the room we had been smoking in lol There was a new member who started to come over and introduce herself to me, but I held my head in shame and the woman walked away. Later, I was in a car with 3 Brothers [JW's]. There was Bob M, Frank B. and another guy I either don't remember or who was just a random DC. Each of them started smoking half-jobbies. I asked them what was going on, if I was somehow being set up for some sort of life lesson. I started to give them my excuses for turning my back on returning to the congregation: My house is still a mess, my daughters give me constant grief, I need to smoke to calm my nerves. But before I could open my mouth to say any of those things, I sadly smiled and told them "I get it". Whatever I could say is just a lame excuse, and there is no excuse for turning your back- not on returning to the congregation in so much- but on turning your back on God. Shut up brain. When I woke up, I lit a cigarette. I'm not ready to return just yet. I also dreamed something about the RV's but I lost them. I also had an epic dream which I've forgotten I was still sleepy, so I went back to bed. I had an epic dream. I was at an airport (surprise, surprise), but this time, I actually boarded the plane. I fell right to sleep and when I woke, I was in China or Japan. I told my hubby that wasn't possible, that I'm a heavy smoker and would have noticed. But I gave sway to the dream as usual. We were separated, and as I exited the plane, I noticed I had a huge turd hanging from my butt. I walked strangely until I could safely let it fall without being noticed. I wanted to pick it up and dispose of it, but people were coming and I wasn't ready for the embarrassment *ewwwww* lol. Most of the rest of the dream occurred in restrooms. I walked into a public restroom that was for both sexes and I nearly fell over from shock. There were people of both sexes crowding the area. In every corner there was someone getting a hand job, a blow job, or just having sex. I just wanted to use the bathroom lol but there wasn't a stall available. Back in our room, we were ordering food and the housekeeper was telling us she'd charge $40. extra if she had to remove our food from our room. She said, when we were finished, we should leave it outside, not in the room. Hubby ran into someone he knew and they talked shop for awhile. I went back to the restroom, and everything was quiet. It went on like that for some time, but I've forgotten the rest. Then the dream became another one and I was talking to a little girl. She asked what association was, then she kept falling off the back of the couch, but I kept catching her. I thought about calling her Sunshine, but that didn't quite fit. So for the next several minutes, her mom and I kept trying to come up with the names of some clowns. The little girl liked one called Amber. So I started calling her "Amber". She giggled and asked why. I told her she acts like a clown so I associate her with clowns because they're funny. Then she understood what association meant. The dream changed again and I was back at the airport, only the airplane went back and forth through time. I hate that I've forgotten most of the story, but the gist of the dream was that I was traveling to undo some wrongs my father had committed. I was a random DC for this part of the dream. Sometimes I was male, or female and once I was a male child. A lot of times, the wrong committed was that my father did nothing at all to stop an injustice he could have prevented. One time, it was simply showing an act of kindness to a woman who was gravely ill. At the end of the dream, someone became aware we weren't the people we said we were, but I woke up before I could see the dream through. Curse my brain and it's sudden fascination with outright symbolism. It knows I don't appreciate those sorts of dreams, so the messages from my dreams are usually more direct. I'll have to think on these some.
I dreamed I was at the grocery store. Oddly, it was outside with no walls or roof. Some friends(who I don't know) had a magic jacket. If you put it on, zipped it and unzipped it, you'd turn invisible for five minutes. So, I went around pranking people. Then, I became visible, and the cops showed up. I ran to my friend. "I gotta go pee." I said. "Fine, hurry."he said. So I went in and took my merry time. I came out, and my friend was mad. "I sold myself out to the police for you!"he said. "More are on the way!" So, I gave him the jacket. He turned invisible. All his other friends followed me. We got on a bus. No one was else was on...not even a bus driver. "I'll drive." I said. "No, I will this time." a friend said. So, we drove around the store. We turned the radio on. The song "Brain Stew" by Green Day(DS) came on. "Hold on." I said. We stopped. I got off and RCed. I was now lucid! I knew what I had to do. I used the lucid power of intent to summon some Mandalorian soldiers. I had one get on the bus to protect us, and the others went to raze the store and fight the cops. I then awoke.

14.08.2010A dog gets mad (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Finally a rested night after two nights of little sleep. I sleep through the entire night. This never happens to me because I was really tired. I woke up at 8 without recall, even more odd for me, I did not want to wake up with nothing, so I was determined to recall one dream. I did. Morning sleep saved my 3 month streak. I was outdoors. It was sunny and I felt the wind in my face. I was in a big park, however, I did not see that many trees. I did not see a lot of DC either. I was alone almost in the middle of nowhere. I could see a metallic fence several feet away from me and some people beyond it. A German Shepperd approached at me, so I placed my hand in front of his face for him to sniff it (I do this on waking and every single dog, even the most scared or aggressive ones like me) A few seconds passed and the dog started to bark and attack me. I did not move as I knew it was impossible for a dog to get mad at me. However, the dog kept barking and attacked me a few times, so I started to run and the dog followed me. I left this park and I was next to the street. A rottweiler approached at me and once more I placed my hand. This rottweiler was a friend of the first dog that attacked me. The rottweiler kept sniffing my hand for a long time and he did not attack me, however, he did not ask to be petted either (like all dogs do in waking) He started to growl and he did not look happy at all. I had a False awakening at home. It was a different place from waking. My parents were with me and four made up family, plus my two waking cats. I was in a bed with three kids. They were about 12-14 years old. One of my cats was in my pillow and my second cat noticed I awoke, so she jumped to my pillow as well and started to get comfortable. My cat said, "Please, pet me a little more before Mew kicks me out like she always does." I laughed and said to my wife (now she was there too) "I knew it. Finally Skitty protested about getting kicked out when Mew wants some love!" I was about to get out from bed when the three kids I had started to say, "I grab silly people!!! I grab them! I grab silly people like Marc, I grab silly people like Ismael Serrano! I grab silly people like you!" Two kids were grabbing me and it was hard to get away from them, but I did. I went to my living room and my mom was mad. She said, "McDonald's again for breakfast! I am not cooking!!!" I was surprised because we never went to McDonald's for breakfast. She said, "We did not buy paper towels so we cannot have breakfast at home!" I saw a roll with no paper towel. I threw it to the trash, went to the bathroom and washed. I then went to the living room and I sat at the table. I wanted to make sure I wrote that the scenario with the dogs was a missed dream sign and I did not turn lucid. I saw a few small colored papers with notes for me. One said that they would miss me, other one said to me to have a good flight. There were some blank ones as well. I remembered that I had to fly all the way from Europe back to home in California and I was not looking forward for such a long flight. I woke up. Missed dream signs: - The dogs that got mad at me. (In waking a dog NEVER gets mad at me. I approach at them, they sniff my hand and they like me. Even dogs with traumas from puppy age like me) - That odd family I had. - One of my cats talked. - My mom saying we were going to have breakfast in McDonald's due a stupid excuse. - Thinking about lucidity within a dream. - I was in Europe when I never left home. What I would have done if lucid: - Talk with the dog and ask him why did he attack me.

NOTES I am on the moon, Floating slowly across the Land of nod, shooting out my astral tentacles and drawing them back in, pulling in dark energy. I see Walms floating in front of me. He looks like a smoky quartz crystal, but he has the shape of a human. "I heard you want to battle me, dream brother?" "Yes!" We begin to fight, and the Q10 teleports us to the Battle Pyramid. We battle in a hologram of space. We try to draw out each other's dark energy. "I see you have gotten stronger. Is that all you got, bitch?" (but he said bitch in Spanish.) NO! I turn into a black hole, and absorb his energy. He screams, and tries to claw away, then, he grins evilly, and lets go. I get worried. I become a planet. He infects me with a virus. There are cyborgs crawling all over me. I change back into Nomad form, and hit my centipede disk. Silver centipedes crawl out by the thousands, and vomit out nanobots to attack the virus. I twitch as Walms goes deeper into my dream body. I change my size to be smaller than him. Now you can't affect, shit! I say. I am a tiny worm. He is a snake, and punches me in the face. WALMS WIN! Q shouts. I grab Walms, and a choke his neck. He laughs and says the game's over. I fall asleep, and wake up in a field of wildflowers. I am choking a stuffed toy tiger. Walms comes over with a woman, and they laugh at me. I grin sheepishly. They walk away. I shoot a tiny fireball at the back of Walms' head. He turns around, and grins and me as his eyes glow red.
I remember very little. 1. I got a demo disc that was supposed to have Gears 3 on it, but when I started it the only thing I could play was Skate 2. 2. I was building two giant water slides. One out of ice, the other out of fire. (there's that fire again. I have to realize that fire is obviously a dream sign for me.)

In the first dream I was doing something (but I can't remember what), and started to realize that it was odd (I think it was a FA, and I was getting up and doing something). I then realized that I might be dreaming, and so I did a RC to confirm, and I was lucid. I can't remember what I did at first, but I ended up in some restaurant at the upstairs of some building, sort of like the dining area at TR. KA and some others were there. I decided to try to persuade KA that she was dreaming to see her reaction: "KA, you're dreaming!" "Oh, that's nice." "No! I'm lucid! Wake up! You're in a dream!" "Huh?" "I said you're not in real life!" "Um okay then?" At this point the dream faded. The next dream was mighty long. I was with summer camp again, but yet there were people from school and some teachers too. We were going on a long trip. We had arrived at some cabin. I had gotten bitten by a few mosquitos, and one of the bites really hurt. I asked the teachers/counsellors if they had afterbite, and they said they didn't, but maybe they could go get some from a nearby store. I told them that I would pay for it if they could get it for me. Then we ended up on some bus or train. Later I was at the "school" again, though it wasn't my school at all. I had apparently brought my little guitar, and I was searching frantically for it. Once I had found it I carried it off with me and into the building. It was a grey and white colored scheme, mostly concrete. I went to one of the top floors. There there was my big guitar, and I started fretting over it, and totally forgetting that I had the little guitar. Then there were some more guitars, one of them purple, and I admired it along with some other guys around it. Then we were apparently supposed to go to music class, but I wanted to play the purple guitar. So as another class entered the room and my class gone, I was still playing the purple guitar. When they had settled I started to rush off to the music room with my own big guitar and hoping that the music teacher wouldn't be angry at me for being late. Then I briefly remember being on the highway with my grandmother in the car. Then we arrived at a Nofrills and we bought some food. After that I had a FA where I woke up and decided to make a milkshake with fruits in it. I poured some blackberries and some other random berries and grinded them with food processor. It turned out a bit watery, but only half of the glass was full, so I could add other things. I thought about how ice cream would make it thicker, but I didn't have any of that. Then I thought that maybe bananas would thicken it. We had two left, I thought. I remember grinding it up and seeing the peel lying in it, but that was the end of the dream.
Dream starts off in a light temperate forest by a rivers edge. There is a Japanese settlement by the water's edge at the bottom of a cliff. Most of the people there dress in traditional Japanese clothing and are miner's and fishermen but lately they have been complaining about wolf sightings near the settlement and claim that the fishing huts are being raided at night by the wolves. I am sent in with two other people to search the forest and do an zoological study of the wolves and alleged behaviour but we search the forest for many days and find no sign of them at all. When we tell the Japanese settlers this they start claiming that they are being haunted by ghost wolves. That same day active but undetonated bombs are unearthed around the village, leftovers from American bombing during World War Two. The village shaman says that the spirits of these hidden bombs were what the villiagers saw as wolves. The people believe that they will no longer see the wolves now that the bombs have been removed. My team and I are not convinced that the wolf sightings were just apparitions and search the forest again. We split up to cover more gorund and in the middle of one sunny day I am on a mount or a hill or something deep in the forest when three grey wolves appear and surround me on the hill. They do not growl or otherwise threaten me but also do not let me leave, blocking my path whenever I try to back away or run. They do not speak to me directly but I sense that they are trying to communicate with me somehow. I use my digital camera to take pictures of the wolves and after I have done so they finally back down and disappear back into the forest. I contact my collegues and we reconviene at the settlement but when I try to show them the images I captured on my digital camera, my camera will not work despite having a new battery in it. My collegues said that they did not see any wolves themselves but felt that they were being followed. I cannot remember anymore of this dream.

Dream starts off at Lake Whittaker, the trailer park my parents frequent in the summer on the weekends. There is a forest behind their trailer and I am there with my mom having an argument about shopping or something. She said she was going to take me shopping for several weekends but when the time comes she makes some excuse and never follows through. We argue for a while and she finally agrees to take me shopping and we follow a path through the forest behind the trailer that leads to an outdoor store selling mainly office supplies, but also some dollar store odds and ends. I become upset because I am pacing the aisles looking for something specific and cannot find it. My mom is getting upset and wants to leave but I absolutely refuse to leave until I find what I am looking for, which turns out to be shoes and accessories for my Barbie doll (even though in the dream I think to myself "I'm almost 30 years old. What do I need Barbie doll shoes for?") After paying for the toys and returning to the trailer I become upset again because the shoes we bought were the wrong onee and I want to exchange them but my mom has had enough of shopping and tells me that I have to go exchange them myself. I walk back along the path to the outdoor store and find it deserted and many of the aisles are a mess like someone has been violently rummaging through the items and tossing them about. I decide that I am just going to leave the old package and take the new one when just then I hear things being scattered about in one of the far aisles. Upon investigation I find a large black bear knocking things off the shelves and scattering things about. It is growling and foaming at the mouth but thankfully doesn't see me because it's back it turned. I run towards the path in the forest but that catches the attention of the black bear which then starts chasing me. A dryer maching has appeared in the middle of the forest path and I jump inside of it and slam the door shut. It is sturdy and thick enough that the bear cannot get inside and it eventually loses interest and takes off into the forest. I slowly and quietly make my way along the forest path trying not to draw attention to myself lest I come across the bear again. The path back to my parent's trailer seems much longer than before and in the middle of it a wide, shallow river has appeared. There are minature houses built along the water's edge and a waterfall nearby. On the path across the river I see something dark lumber across and think it is the black bear waiting for me so I throw myself into the river out of fear and let myself go over the waterfall. The dream ends there.
No lucids last night, but I wasn't actually trying that hard for another one yet, anyway. I need to get my recall fixed up first and foremost, else there's not much point in going lucid, since I won't remember the experience anyway Again, I didn't remember more than one dream, but the clarity of that memory has noticeably improved. All the same, since I don't have a ton of time and the dream was a pretty simple concept, I won't go into much detail about it. I was sitting in my basement with a dissected Wii remote laying on a table before me. I was messing around with all the parts, modifying them, attaching them in new ways, etc. When I was done, I had created a motion-based controller that relied only on hand motions. I strapped the device onto the back of my wrist like a bulky watch and then was able to use it just by pointing different fingers or moving my hand around. I'm very tempted to do that IRL. Like I said, the memories are pretty clear, so I remember how I did it in the dream, and I'm confident it would work. The creativity of the sleeping mind is rather cool
August 14, 2010 Okay, so I used to lucid dream a while back, but then i got banned from DV (gay age restriction) so I stopped. So recently I saw Inception and it made me want to get back into it, bad. I really wanted to lucid dream again so I started doing regular reality checks daily. Last night, i stayed up pretty late and right before going to bed I decided to go on DV. I refreshed my mind of all the techniques and chose to try and FILD, but not with a WBTB. I layed down in my bed and got myself situated. I was very tired and ended up falling asleep immediately. So now that i told my whole life story, here's the dream. It started out with me waking up in my bed next to my friend, David. It was pretty early in the morning and I just felt like something was weird. I looked at my hands and they were normal, so i also plugged my nose and tried to breat through it, I could. I get pretty excited but i controlled my excitement to try and keep the dream stable. It was kind of blurry so I acted like I was focusing a camera lens (a technique I created back in the day) and made everything crystal clear. Then, to make the dream more stable, i started spinning. (last night i read a DJ where they dream spun, idk what it was so i just spun lol) After spinning I woke up my friend and was like, Dude! We're in a dream! He woke up and was like, "stfu bro im sleeping" and i was like, "come here" and he followed me and so I jumped off my balcony in my house and landed on the ground without making a sound. He started flipping out. We went outside and he started just jumping around and floating doing a crap load of flips in the air and i was just flying around. I came down and the scene changed but I still kept my lucidity. I was walking around my neighborhood with my friends David, Tyler, and Kyle and we were discussing about how this feels like a shared dream and how I feel like they aren't just dream characters. We were having a very deep conversation inside of a dream lol. After we were done, I wanted to do something fun. I remembered one of my goals from a while ago which was to create a mall like dead rising and run around using stuff i find in the shops to kill the zombies. So I concentrated real hard and made the scene change into like an area outside of a mall. My family was there and was ready to go in and start kicking some ass. Then all of a sudden, a huuuuuugeee wave of fear came over and I started freaking out. I was afraid that if a zombie hit me, it would hurt, just like inception. I really didn't want to feel pain. So I ended up just sitting outside the mall. A couple of minutes later I heard my moms voice calling me from like a window above me. I look up and just before i look all the way up I woke up. And there's the end. I totally regret not going into the mall. Also, I surprisingly had a lot more control then I used to have.
For how my routine works go ahead and hit up this thread. Otherwise let's just leap right into it. Last night I went to bed a little bit later than I wanted to and I think I was a bit too tired to really maximize the effectiveness of my routine. I started to do my "countdown" trick before I went to sleep and I think I almost got into SP (my heart began to race, my body felt numb) and then I reality checked..and nothing. I tried again and ended up straight zonking out. I woke up again at 5:30 (when my WBTB alarm is set). For whatever reason I wasn't tired feeling so I had to make myself go back to sleep. And as I started to do my countdown... I passed out again. Then I woke up at 8:30 and could only remember one dream. Pro: I could recall it. Con: It was pretty short. Maybe I'm still recovering from trying to do the Infinity Course. That thing really messed with my sleep schedule... It always wierds me out when dreams happen like this but I am suddenly in my dream, running down the court, playing basketball. Nobody says anything but I instantly perceive that I'm playing in an all star game. The gym is pretty stark. Big, but stark. Wood floors and plain white washed walls. There are two hoops. I know we are in the middle of a game but at any given time I can only see one or two people and never myself. OK. So I'm running down court and I pass the ball off to this tall white guy with darker black, and blond, streaked hair. He catches the ball and immediately puts up an awkward shot. The guy that came back to D him up gets the rebound and dribbles off. I know instantly that this guy is Darko Milicic. He is sweaty and looks very unsure of himself. I walk over to the guy and start giving him pointers. Telling him to just relax and calm down. And, when he gets the ball, just to slow the game down and put up a confident shot. I don't have a clue why I am giving him basketball tips when he's in the pros. That's about all there was to the dream. Really short, written out like this, but it seemed to take up a lot of 'dream time'. Again I see my dream sign, basketball/basketball players, I really need to start doing RL reality checks whenever basketball is brought up. Hmm..

Well I don't really remember much Anyways, I don't talk to my dad but I saw him in my dream and we were getting along really well and it felt so genuine and real until I like woke up and realized it was a dream. I went back to sleep and then here is another fragment I was at the backyard of my moms friends house and I was running in my underwear (my dad wasn't in here anymore) and then I was flying upwards and I was like woohoo I already knew it was a dream and I was very lucid, the dream was very detailed, I was examining every single detail from left to right but it was kind of hard to keep it going, then I flew down into some persons house and there was a witch there. Then like in this show called Charmed my favorite show she was trying to throw an energy ball while I was up in the air near the celling of the house and I yelled 'energy ball' and it orbed into my hand (these are charmed terms btw) and I threw it back at her and it didn't hit her so we kept this going for like 4 times until somehow I lost control and I flew out of the house onto the floor. Next, I really have no clue what this was about, I don't know if I was lucid or not but I was trying to control the dream, it worked very well on many levels to say the least, far better than any other dream I've had so far. Basically it was me and my cousin sort of again, her name is Suzy, she was in one of my last dreams if you remember. I guess this was like some sequel to that dream, and like it was her friend Rat, and I remember we were in the mall, me and Rat, and like I kept trying to find her and yell for her but she wouldn't come so I said a spell from charmed (similar to the spell 'to call a lost witch') and from the top floor of the mall (the mall was really big and distorted in my dream) she vanished in like a wind spiral and came down in front of me, which I was like FUCK YEAH I CAN FINALLY DO SPELLS IN MY DREAMS (this is a BIG accomplishment for me it actually helps me control my dreams better and more detailed) So then we were walking down this escaltor which was really weird because it was like going up and down at the same time, impossible architecture maybe? then we finally went up for one last time and went out, I don't know where we went but we were basically hiding behind these cars in a parking lot with a bunch of people trying to shoot at us (ala Inception) and I said another spell, something like make me invincible blah blah and it rhymed but not too well, it's funny in my dreams I have a much more fluid vocabulary and easier to make rhyming spells, anyways after I said it, Rat was already gone, and I was like haha I'm invincible you can't hurt me, so I was just walking while they were shooting at me, which was another big accomplishment because usually by this point I lose some sort of faith and they manage to shoot me and I wake up or something, and btw this was all at night time, and while i went all the way in the parking lot I reached Target, and it was already day time, and then I was looking for Tristan and Anthony (anthony was also in another one of my dreams if you read my first DJ), and then they were behind me and there was a bunch of teen gangster around me trying to shoot me, and they tried to shoot me as I was walking in target and it went through me and I was like haha missed me or something and we went in, and they were all surprised and I was like 'Tristan, your comin with me' 'you too Anthony' and I guess I was trying to gather up some sort of army or something to do Time Travel as far as I remember, and then as we were walking down the aisles Anthony asked me a question I forgot what, and I completely lost lucidity and woke up. The end. Trust me this is all I could remember now it's been 3 hours, I know there was WAY WAY more fun stuff see you next in the next dream!
