Familiar Dream Neighborhood and Ruby
Me and Ruby are going for a walk in the neighborhood. This feels like a neighborhood I've visited a 1000 times before, but only in dreams. I know these streets, their twists and turns, the houses with their tall trees and overgrown yards. It feels a lot more like a suburb from NY than it does TX.

Ruby has this crazy plan that we should walk to the post office, then stop at this other place, then walk back home. Miles! She runs off ahead. I agree to meet her at the post office but for some reason I go somewhere else first. My suburb transforms to the inside of a building. I'm trying to get back to Ruby but there's all these old people in the middle of the hallway blocking me.

Death Battle Royale
I walk into the basement of a large mall like building, with only one entrance and exit and no windows. I feel like there's a lot of people, or rather, just their presence, with all their eyes at the center of this basement. At the center is a weird abstract structure. It reminds me of what you'd find when you fight a boss in zelda. It's a raised battle platform.

There's a man in a black suit at the entrance, he makes a proposition for me. I don't understand what he's offering. He explains again. There's a bad guy here that I need to defeat! But I can't defeat this bad guy without the right weapon. And he happens to be selling it. I take the weapon from him and fight this bad guy.

After fighting the bad guy, I thought I was free to go. But the game master, the man in the black suit, explains I can't leave unless I defeat them all! Each bad guy was tougher than the last, and each weapon, that he added to my arsenal was more vicious. I don't remember the order of fights anymore. Some bad guys were more like assassins, others were brutes. Some of my weapons included a bow n arrow, sharp daggers on a chain, a sword at one point I think.

It was the final battle. And I have two opponents!? One of them is Ryoga from Ranma 1/2. But Ryoga is my friend, I can't kill him. The other opponent was a beast of woman. I began to feel lied to. This whole time the game master was telling me that I was defeating "bad guys". I finally realized I was just up against other combatants who were tricked to come down here. I try to fight the beast of the woman while avoiding Ryoga, but the idiot is content to come at me with all of his fists and kicks.

The beastly woman is coming at me with everything too! I use a tablet device to select my weapon. First I try the bow and arrow. I goes right into her throat. But she's still standing. Next I try that weird dagger weapon. But it doesn't even penetrate her thick skin. I try another weird weapon I got from the last battle. Its like an orb with a spinning blade attached to a chain. It was wicked and difficult to control! I hurl it at her, but its not working too. This woman doesn't die and Ryoga is still an idiot!

I escape from the battle I run to the entrance. The game master isn't there. I run further into the hallway "Where are you game master? You lied to me!" I find him trying to be sly behind a booth. I tell him that he broke his promise, he promised to help me win so I can go home. And also promised me a new weapon every battle, wheres my new weapon? I can't defeat this beast of a woman without it.

He just laughs and says something un-helpful. "You're not going home until you defeat all of your opponents" Frustrated, I go back to the battle stage. I quickly scroll through all my weapons, desperately trying to find the one I need. I try them all!

I was thinking so hard on how to win this battle, without killing ryoga, how to defeat the game master and win my freedom home - that I woke up with a headache.

I don't know who that girl was but I haven't felt so comfortable and motivated during sex before.

Funny, she exists somewhere in my memory, wonder who she is.

01-19-17 I did a WILD and lost contact with my body. I have no idea how or why this happened but suddenly I was trying to keep some dark malevolent force from plunging a knife into me. I felt a dream body, but the visuals were just shifting purple and black. I held the things arm away from me. I was on my back and it over me. I thought to myself, "this is just a lucid dream, relax and ignore this" yet I could not bring myself to stop forcing the implied knife (knife in the dark) away from me. I could hear the thing think malicious thoughts but not understand the words just the intent. Somehow the idea was there that this was the ghost of a bitter old man and I had fallen asleep in the Warm Springs house that we all agreed was haunted. It had never been a fearful type of haunted before. I also IRL was not in that house. I stayed calm and tried to shift my focus, but just ended up waking up.

Dreamed I somehow became president of united states. Selected Bernie Sanders as my VP. Then opted to step down. Met my security detail. He was a young arab man who knew some martial arts. I also had a very incompetent and goofy secretary with green hair. Before then I had a lucid dream which I tried to stabilize yet ended in mere 10 seconds.

I am flying in an airplane, way up above South Florida, and I can see the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean below me. The terrain lines keep changing every time I look out the window. Almost as if the land beneath me is alive and morphing and moving like some kind of wide, flat monster. I decide to land the plane and investigate. When I get out of the plane, I am joined by a minister of a Pentecostal church. As we both look down at the dream representation of the Florida coastline, the minister proceeds in "straightening out" and manipulating the terrain, as though the shape of the coastline were liquid or made of hair. He uses a knife to cut off and trim unneeded portions of the coastline. The unneeded portions are then swept away, like hair clippings on the floor of a barbershop. At this point, my recall fades but I do remember Cake's rendition of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" playing in my subconscious (and I awaken with this tune playing in my dream ears).

Now, I am with my wife and our two nieces. We are wading in the water inside a little roped-off section of a canal near the pier. It seems we are waiting for someone, and as we wait, we swim. My nieces in the dream are young -- toddler size. IRL they are both in their mid-twenties, but this is how they looked back when they were babies. One of them -- the youngest -- has a floatie and she is kicking around in the water like a duck. My subconscious measures the depth of the water to be 10 ft. My other niece suddenly transforms back to her mature body and goes underwater. My vision underwater is clear and exact. Observing her, I sense she is in danger, and I come to her rescue. I bring her to the side of the pier. As she turns her back to me and lifts herself out of the water, I marvel at her body and think of how she's become sexually active and has already had children. I ruminate this as I think of her younger sister in a floatie beside her, who is still the symbol of innocence. It is a bittersweet, sentimental feeling.

The place where we are swimming is divided into sections designated by color. We are in the "blue" section. This "blue" water area somehow corresponds with the airplane trip and terrain manipulation I dreamt about earlier. The surrounding climate is sub-tropical. I look down and see a mapped coastline similar to the one the Pentecostal minister had manipulated earlier with a knife. Only this one was color-coded. I see different "blue" and "red" designated areas, and I find our "blue" swimming area on it.

I teleport to another section of Florida, this time back to my old childhood home (a dream sign). A pregnant girl is there with me, and we are waiting for someone. With us are three other guys. They are sitting at a table between my old bedroom and the laundry room. I am restless, walking back and forth, to the laundry room, back to my bedroom, back to the laundry room and around the table, over and over again. I tell everyone that while we wait, I'll start drinking. In the dream, I drink beer. Two of the guys at the table are hugging each other, and the other one is now standing behind them. They are friends with the pregnant girl, and although the girl is familiar to me, I do not know who the guys are. Dreamt 1/06/2017

I slept wonderfully last night. I remembered to take some pain meds beforehand. But I don't recall many dreams.

In one, I was at a mall restaurant looking for something to eat. A kid was in front of me at what looked like a deli counter. But it was like a Hibachi bar. Only he was "pretending" to be gross by acting like he was licking the edges of her sandwich, sneezing and coughing on it. The kid squealed in delight but I kept thinking that was still gross because he was bound to be getting spittle all over it.

In another dream, I dreamed I had slept til nearly 5PM and hubby was irritated with me. I then woke up 25 minutes before my alarm for 10:30

Fitbit: Bedtime 2:52AM-9:56AM 12 times restless for 1hr 46 minutes Total proper sleep 7hrs 4 minutes.
Much better than usual.

...

Had some weird and gross dreams.

But one was awesome.

I'm walking by a seashore, on some kind of a wooden path. A part of a path that's on the water gets lose and floats away few feet. Somebody jumps in and starts to pull the planks out. I look at the water. It's at night, so I only see the small portion illuminated by some strong lamp from the shore. Water is calm, clear, with some foam in some parts. I think about sharks for a second, then jump in. I dive to the bottom which is only maybe 5-6 feet away. I swim by the bottom, looking for submerged pieces of the walkway. There are some other things, but I pick up 2 planks and take them to the shore. The dive feels awesome.

Thank you!

I don't remember the non-lucid part of the dream, but I suddenly got lucid. I was in the middle of some large street, on some crosswalk. There were lots of car. I started walking fowards. There was a car in my way, so I decided I wanted to flip it. I put my two hands beneath the car and effortlesly flipped the car like a table. I continued walking until I reached the other side of the crosswalk, when I remember the three-step tasks. Luckily, I managed to reemmber the first one, telekinesis. I saw a woman across me and decided to TK her towards me. I extended my hands towards her and made her levitate and brought her into my arms. I let her down and continued walking on, until the dream started to fade. I tried RCing and touching stuff to stabilize, but lost the dream and woke up.

Me and my family were staying in some huge, fancy hotel. I woke up a little late (I think about 9 A.M, almost 10) and decided to go get breakfast. I went into the elevator (which was huge, it had tables and chairs in it for some reason) and it started going down. I noticed I was wearing jusjt a shirt and boxer shirts, but decided I didn't care anyway cause it was breakfast and everyone was probably in their pajamas. I also remember some little kid being in the elevator. I them realized it was too late and they wouldn't be serving breakfast. When the elevator arrived at its destination, I went down some stairs and there were some bakeries where I could buy stuff. I got lucid at some point but everything was already fading away and I was feeling faint. I walked along some wall, touching it for stabilization but woke up.

I am in a bar? with two friends of mine. we leave and i get lucid. i move right phasing thru things. the girls go left. i start to follow them flying. i fly ahead of them and land again. there is a girl on a bicycle. i will her to stop. i hold myself on the sattle and will her telepathically to start moving again. she is pulling me some meters. i tell her to stop again. she leaves and i take her bike. i look behind me and my girls are coming slowly. the bike changes into a super small one person car i am sitting in. i tell them to bring me the cd with the music and they do but the cd is not working?
the dream fades and i think i wake up but its a FA. i am naked in my bed with my sleeping mask on same as IWL. but the room is different. i lay there and the door to the next door is open and i see people. i dont want to get up because i am naked. i do a nose pinch and notice that i can still breath thru. nice still in the dream i jump up and dont care about my nakedness at all. i think i saw my brother sitting under a table (in a way you couldnt see him IWL because the angle of sight was way off). i approach the corner but he is not there anymore. i see a small rest of a cigarette but i know its a joint. i pick it up and smoke it. while smoking it (again i dont feel a effect) i remember the competition and i want to make some points. i want to do mass TK and aim some books and stuff. but no matter how i do it nothing moves at all. i am confused? is it because i smoke? i try it on a blanket and its slightly moving. i turn around to a table and there is a big glas half full with water. i try again and the water starts moving and boiling. the glass gets full completely but i cant manage to get the water out there. i decide to leave and jump thru the wall outside and fly away. the dream destabilize and i everything is nearly black i only see some dim lights far away. i fly there and rub my hands flying.
again i think i woke up but this time i do a RC instantly and yup still dreaming. this time i am in a house (the one i was flying to) and there are two more people. in the moment i told them this is still a dream and i dont have to do anything they closed the door and told me to stay outside of the room. i just out of fun phase thru the wall and tell them something i dont remember and phase right back. there is a guy and i tell him i did in "previous" dream some waterbending and now i want to do some firebending. i summon some liquid out of my left hand into the right hand. i try to ignite it by snapping my fingers but it wont work. i tell him to help me and he do. my right hand starts burning. i want the fire to get to a fireball levitating over my hand. i have some problems witrh it and i take my second hand as support. i differ the distance between my hands and a fire/energy filament emerges between those hands and you hear electrical discharges. the ball between my hands gets bigger and i throw it against the wall waking up for real this time.

How can a person get 0 sleep and still feel good in the morning? Maybe I am just telling myself I have to go to work so I have to have energy? It just sucks that I didn't get to dream! Positive side of it, when I am this sleep deprived I should sleep well tonight .

Wheat transport

It was night, I got a mesage that there's a load of wheat grain to transport to a silo. I went to a tractor and hooked up a trailer and took the load to place of it's destination. The road was empty, there were no roadsigns, lights or any other vechicles. Until I reached the silo, everything faded to black.

Fragment

A blurry fragment, I was in home, can't recall anything more.

19-Jan-2017 - ND Office "Self-Management", ND fragm, + WILD Office magic, Elephant war,... + LD Flying car

2AM Wake-up, no recall, "technical" WBTB ;P

ND: Office, I am in a meeting room together with many colleagues. We are commenting about an earlier happening involving D in cubicle next to mine, to which I took part by talking from over the wall (FM). Discussion is quite long and uninteresting, recall is good, but I provide no details. Wake up 4AM

ND: Fragment about me eating lard with other colleagues at canteen (est.~5AM)

Wake up 5:20 AM, attempt WILD, success
WILD: (~30-40 min)
Some visualization, stabilization at my tower interior/exterior.
Proper LD starts at company canteen, I just exited, together with the colleagues I had lunch with yesterday.
At the gate, instead of going through I jump over, walk on the rain cover, jump down. Colleagues reach me.
I decide I will play some more dream magic for them. I take scarf off my neck (strange I have one), launch it in the air, wish it to become a bird, the scarf properly transforms and the bird flies away. I see dream is perfectly stable, environment looks crystal clear, so now it's time for something more impressive.

We move to the main gate, I check my company, everyone is still there. There is also a new, very tall guy wearing a sort of space uniform with a red kinda-NASA-logo and a name "Him", so he's a LC team-mate.
The reception building is ~6m wide low-roof structure. The two reception girls are inside it, normally at their desk. I wish for the entire building to lift up, which happens leaving a nice hole in the ground. The two girls inside it look down from the glass, kinda scared from this.
We pass below the building suspended in the air, then I release it to its normal place.

Next trick, change appearance of the main building (5 stories, ~50m wide, U-shaped). I observe the building, noticing how some details are very life-like. Then I look at the first corner and it gets covered in gray stone bricks, with two short cone-roofed corner towers. It's goo,d so moving my gaze over the main facade, I change appearance of the entire building in a similar fashion. The second corner comes out similar to the first one. Now our modern-looking building looks like a medieval castle. I like it alot.

Then, I wish for the building to disappear. At first attempt it doesn't work: it just slightly fades, then returns fully solid. It takes me a lot of focus, three attempts and imagining the background behind it, to make it fade in front of my eyes - most likely because the building it's such an long-time landmark for me.
After that, I walk with colleagues in the place where the building was standing before. It's paved in gray, and some external staircases remain standing on the ground, hanging from nowhere. Very cool.
Then, we move back to the courtyard between the reception and the building, and I make the building appear again. It returns with its normal appearance.
After this, I feel it's time for something different.

I want to go in space. In a space close to office, I see the same rocket I used last time, but it looks dull to me this time. Nevertheless, I board it, it takes off, reaches space, but dream reverts soon after.
I find myself at home, with entry door half open, my door on handle. It's looking really vivid. I play opening and closing the door couple of times, and feel "strange" about being here.

I teleport back to the beginning of previous dream. This time another team-mate is with me, same space suit, he's not as tall as Him. It's tblanco. Oh well, I say him this was my previous part of the dream, wondering if this is worth any point (good question actually)
Together with tblanco, I fly upwards, over the road, trees, car retailers; the environment looks very life-like, I notice how cohere it is in terms of placement.

After some flying, we reach a dense tree area. Good for TotY, I think.
I look for an elephant nearby, I find it, it's gray/violet, very long curved tusks, really fat, its body almost a ball.
I climb on its back and ride it in the forest.
I find a dirt clearing with low thick bushes on both sides, and people hiding behind them, shooting each other. The list of projectile they use it's quite extensive: arrows, stones, guns and lances. I learn their names (LOL don't ask me where did I take those from, I am clueless), the italian equivalent of "Liquid Assault", wearing blue uniform and "Screaming Magaglis" (not-existing word), with red uniform. I decide I am going to help in battle the guys in blue.

On the elephant I circle the bush and charge the red guys from their backs.
The elephant skews some people with its long trunks, I see one getting stomped by its leg.
I see one arrow coming out of its big arse. I tell the elephant I am sorry about that, I should have protected it.
I remove the arrow, then I summon a metal plate armor covering most of its body, it's dark brown / bronze. I am now sitting on a cloth saddle. We charge again, hitting some more people, no red guy is left standing now.
I get off my mount and move on.

A short walk and I reach a grassy area. I want to go to space again. I find a small space fighter, I enter it and reach space again. I find an area with many small planets close together, having different colors, I pass above them with my fighter spaceship.
One planet is brown, small (10m perhaps?), it looks like a krapfen (a fried sweet). I stop by, get off the ship and eat some of it; it's pleasant.

However, I find myself grounded on Earth again. This time I do not bother looking for a spaceship, put my arm out and fly Superman-style, very quick out of Earth. I turn back for a second to see the ground going away at great speed. I reach space again. Flying in space with the freedom of having no ship around me is nice.
I find some more planets. For few of them I see the white orbit.
I see a gray planet/asteroid, smallish, too; I land on it on my feet. It reminds me of the "Little Prince"
I summon a sort of large wooden stick, and push it on the ground below me, in front of my feet; the surface cracks; the stick remains in the ground.
A sort of menu bar with different objects drawn in it appears before me, I select a pruning knife and find it in my hand.
I thrust in in the ground in another point of the planet, cracking the surface.
This time the crack extends, connects with the previous one, and half of the planet detachs and floats in space. I wonder how my half is staying up ?

Now I am kinda tired, return to my body, move to my side and keep sleeping

DILD: (est.6:10 AM ~10min)
I am in my car, alone, aware this is a dream. I'm driving on a large road, with walls on the sides.
I look at the cockpit and it looks ok, only slight difference I detect is in the speedometer: different numbers and lower max speed shown.
I break to limit the speed, but the car reaches a high speed again. I do it again, the car reaches high speed again.
I think I should not worry about speed limits or danger in a dream, push the accelerator.
The car reaches very high speed (~120 km/h), then flies up.
I look at the scenery below me, trees, low houses and roads.

I rotate the car in the air, however fly direction is maintained, so I fly laterally, then backward.
My viewpoint shifts to the back seat for short time, I see the front seatbelt and the car interior, then I return to driving seat.
I fly low, over a road with more vehicles, I look down and see a motorcycle, I let it pass then I descend and land my wheels on the road behind it.

Fuzzy recall after that. I think I get out of the car...

Anyway, I turn focus to my body, wondering if I can attempt an OBE exit.

I only feel a light sizzling in my feet, judge it too weak to attempt exiting, I fall asleep lightly, work alarm rings after few minutes.

I'm walking down a hallway which appears to be in a school. As I'm doing so I am listening to music with red ear buds. On the left side of the hallway I can see a door open and figure I'd check it out. I enter inside for a brief moment and could see a few students sitting at their desk. There were 3 teachers, one scribbiling something on the board and the other observing the outside. While the last teacher is instructing the students on what's their next assignment. Seem mundane enough so I walk out and decided to explore the hallway one more time.

As I am back outside the hallway I feel this strange sensation. Things seem to be getting alot more vivid. Not long after this I became lucid with the understanding that the hallway mimic my middle school design. I could see a computer and a chair at the end of the hallway. I took a seat and began surfing to see what a dream world computer may consist of. However my focus was shattered when I heard one of the students yelling. It made me think I woken myself up as I knew blinking a lot could cause my actual eyes to open.

I still was inside the dream but I no longer was lucid due to this.

I've been rather busy, and I actually forgot to get online yesterday until I was already laying in bed and there was no way I was getting out of it. D: I'm heading to bed soon, but I have to get home first. Still on campus right now. Lot of homework already.

Dream 1 (Technically Lucid): On Monday, I took a brief nap while sitting up on a chair in the library. I only remember a few fragments of my dream from that: I was at the beach, then I was at Costco, and then my notes say "loved, romanced" but I do not remember that.

I was lucid for only a split second when the dream first began, and then it faded into a regular dream. I was only asleep for maybe 5 minutes or so. Does that still count? I think I started to try and figure draw but then I lost lucidity. At any rate, if this doesn't count as a WILD, please let me know and I'll take out the points accordingly.

Unfortunately, I did not remember any dreams from that night's sleep. I was so tired!

Tuesday:
Dream (Full Not Quite Lucid) 1: I was walking around in a place that looked similar to my university's library. For some reason, I thought in my illogical dream state that it would be cool if everyone around me became a zombie. Then I realized that I didn't actually want it to happen. And then the dream faded. .____. This is because I woke up IRL to the sound of my roommate yelling "Escape this garbage!" I freaked out, but then I realized he was just sleep-talking. Or at least I think he was. Anyway, scared the crap out of me.

Dream 2 (Fragment): There was this cool tunnel structure with tiny little sugar guys living in it. As in, creatures made out of sugar or candy. They converted some piece of their dwelling into a hot tub, and relaxed in it. I think that this dream was influenced by this cute teacup dragon illustration I saw shortly before bed when I was browsing some of my favorite art blogs. ^_^
