    1. Night 7 Summer Comp

      by , 08-05-2016 at 10:46 PM (Cities in the Astral)
      08-05-16 I was scheduled to work this morning and had been very unsatisfied with my WILDs. I had attempted 6 times (2 at 5,6 hrs, and 4 using snooze between 7 and 8 hours). The last one hit but was no better than a beginners very first lucid.

      WILD #1: I have been using the mantra "I am dreaming" and drifting off when I find myself sitting in a chair at a desk. across the desk from me is a women looking critically at me, as if this were a job interview. I state out loud, "This is a dream." The woman looks confused. I wake up.


      I finally had to get up and get ready for work frustrated. After my shower my phone was buzzing. there was a message from the boss telling me I was not needed today, and to not come in. Well bummer, as I need the money, but bonus as I can make one truly serious WILD attempt.

      WILD#2: I put a pillow over my eyes and laid on my back. I went through a very long formal Dream Yoga style induction over and over until my mind was barely present and would loose focus within counting 6 breaths and HI were intense. I then used tactile visualization to feel my arms reach up and grab the rungs of a ladder. I slowly moved my hands (visualized) in order to climb the ladder, until my waking body was no longer detectable. A dream started at this point. I am laying in a bed at my grandma's house and someone is knocking at the door. I just lay still and stabilize by focusing on it being a dream and wait. I do not want to move too early and have my real body shift, waking me. After I feel stable i float up out of bed, again to avoid accidentally moving my waking body. I am in! A nice stable LD and no alarm set. Time to have a blast and score some points. In the next room my uncle is there and he is giving himself a shot. His arm is bulging as if he has a misplaced IV filling the tissue. We talk for a minute. I go into the front room and there are two exotic birds, one is like a big black and white macaw. I play with this bird for a couple minutes. It feels real and likes to playfully bite. Someone comes in but I don't want to talk so I tell them to play with the bird, which I point out, and they do. Oh yeah, points, almost forgot. Let's see, phase through a solid object. grandma's front door was always a huge solid wood door. I walk into it, but it resists. I press my face into it and relax, this will work. The door becomes flexible stretching as I move, then I phase through it and am on her front porch. I think of my tasks. I did teleport, and draw up the waking memory of what is left. Transformation and advanced flight. So I decide to become the type of bird I was just playing with. I don't like to just go 'poof' and see an image of me as something. I like to truly feel the transformation of my body and limbs, and feel the body parts work. I perch on her short fence and visualize my arms stretching out and changing shape. it takes about a minute to truly feel myself as a bird. i look over and my arms are black wings that i can feel. I take off flying, but again I can not fly like levitation or it would not feel like being a bird. I literally flap my wings one beat at a time and start flying. I go up in the air and look at my wings again. They are now flesh colored and short like my arms would be. I focus and stretch them back out into proper wings. It is mentally tiring to flap the wings. I no longer feel like a bird and instead feel like a bird with human legs dangling. I pull my knees up to my bird chest and fuse them into it just leaving the feet dangling. This is much more bird like! Again I truly feel myself in the form of the bird. I am tired of having to flap my wings. I decide to move on to advanced flight. How will I do anything advanced in a macaw body? I need to dive bomb from a great height. I look at the horizon which is near because of trees and perspective and decide that just over there the land drops a long way down into a valley. I 'remember' that this is true and expect it 100%. I get there and sure enough a steep hillside drops a couple thousand feet into a valley at the bottom. I flap out above the valley and tuck my wings and popint my head down. WEEHA! Zoom! I dive through the air at crazy speed and right before the ground I change back to the form of a human and slam feet first into the ground like a super hero. The ground shakes with my impact. ground shakes? I had incubated the though of TOTM advanced being create an earthquake (It was actually last months and I had not read this months, darn, but still is manipulate elements,earth). I looked around and was in a small urban area with parking lots, a church and an underpass. A car is driving by so I take the whole bottom of the visual field and cause it to shake and buck. the car spins out wild and hits a wall. I look at the church and about 7 people are crossing the grass in front. I do it again and they slam sideways and are thrown across the grass about 10 feet. I look into the parking lots and about 5 people are there. This feels intense (God like), so I am getting excited. I really shake the visual field and these people fall down and skitter around tossed by the motion. I want cars to get moved too! A car slides out of park and runs right over a grandma. Opps. Ah hem, urr, sorry? I look at the underpass and a highway worker in an orange vest and some street cleaner vehicle are under there. People run up to me and put hands on me. "You are causing this! Please stop it!" I wave a hand and they are forced back, like an excited child I proclaim, "wait, just one more time!" I shake it again and the worker and vehicle are thrown sideways. Oh too much fun! It has been a few months since I really pushed for truly stable high end LDing and I have missed the power! (not bad for only 7 days of getting back into it). I have a moment where it feels like my eyes are closed and the scene is black. I decide not to open my eyes out of fear my real eyes will open, so I just keep walking and before long the scene reforms. I decide to stop and stabilize. I look at my hands and manipulate them in preset patterns, making each finger work intricately (see Mudra Awareness in Dream Yoga class). I am now very stable and just for good measure push one hand through the other to reinforce the dream aspect of it. I start walking behind the church and it is a park with a low rise up to trees and some structure. A DC approaches and says, "A little girl is about to fall in a pond up there. Will you save her?" I walk with him and another DC up to the spot, but see no pond. I am now under the cover of the structure, which is some kind of lime stone open air hall. I decide to get back to using powers and scoring points. It is a beautiful sunny day. I say out loud, "watch me change the weather!" I walk out from under the cover and cause day to turn to night. It goes black almost instantly (nice). I look up and see only a few clouds. I tell the DCs to watch the clouds. I visualize what I want and it starts happening. I am summoning bigger and darker clouds. the sky is now full of mean looking dark clouds. I cause two banks of clouds to crash together knowing this will cause a storm. Boom crak thunder sounds, then lightning all over and rain pours down. I mean pours down! It is raining buckets and I can feel it perfectly. I am getting drenched. I have never created a storm this good before. In the past it has kind of been light rain. I drop to my knees and start laughing wildly in joy. OMG this is awesome! I enjoy this for maybe a minute, then think I need to move on and score some more points. What is on the advanced list? Advanced banish? Yes, that is one. I wave my hand and the storm and night are gone, just like that. It is now a sunny day, but has changed to winter (unintended season change?). What else is on the list. Mass TK. I look and see parked cars. I use TK and one floats about 15 feet up. Is that enough? Better do more for good measure. I lift the car on either side and make all three bob up and down at about 15', then I cause them to flip and slam into the ground. I am starting to feel my waking body. I am tempted to stabilize and keep going. Almost awake, but you know it seems like a long dream so far and I am mentally tired,plus how late is it. I decide not to fight it and allow my body to wake up.

    2. Lucid after a break.

      by , 08-05-2016 at 04:53 PM
      I took a 1 day break from lucid dreaming, and that night had my 8th lucid and remembered a non lucid.

      First dream NLD: I was In an auditorium at school. There were lots of people sitting in the seats. I saw a few friends from my cross country team, and they called me over.


      Second dream LD: I was walking through something. I think it was a river. Then I realized that I didn't need to do this because it was a dream. I tried keeping the dream stabilized, but it slipped away. I woke up and thought about DEILDING, but didn't because I moved around.

      7/29/16:Instant Transmission

      Have you ever.......-gokus35.jpg
      Really vivid, it was the last day of School.
      Don't remember alot about the dream but there was a bunch of conversations with me, students and teachers.
      I remember talking to a Geometry Teacher she looked like my Biology Teacher, she gave me something. It wasn't an actual object it was a superpower. Instant Transmission, I recall teleporting around the school and eventually to my house.

      7/31/16:MMORPG

      I was inside an MMORPG game.
      8/1/16:Gym and, Science Class

      Had another dream at school, it was gym class. The teacher told us to do 10 laps forward and back. As my classmates are running I tell my teacher "Can I goto the bathroom" so I don't need to run. (Sometimes I'm that lazy) The Gym and School looked mostly like my old Elementary School but mixed with my High School abit.
      I remember going into the lobby area with my classmates. Suddenly it was science class with my Biology teacher Ms.Z we were told about a new project, I had no Idea what was going on at the time. We were then, in the computer lab, I then realized something. So I ran back to the science classroom, it looks Giant, it was fused together with the Gym.
      Which I did not find odd.
      I was looking around to see if I could find my waterbottle, since I don't want anyone to touch it (irl: Germaphobic)
      This dude Zach(?) ran into the room with a mad expression on his face. Bumped into me, I asked "what is your problem?" He replied "everytime we finish one _ we have to go back to the classroom." He then goes and, sits in my Assigned seat.
      So I sit in the seat next to it. This asian dude
      (forgot his name, I know him in real life) said "that's my assigned seat." so me and him switch seats. Ms.Z says something then we watch some weird video on the projector.

    4. a busy one

      This dream was ridiculous. I can't remember a concrete plot, but basically I was just really busy the whole time, running this massive project. It's just a dream about what I am doing in life right now.

      There were a few points when women showed up that were significantly more beautiful than normal, and I did not reality check.

    5. Spellbee2 Competition Team Mystic

      by , 08-05-2016 at 04:26 PM
      Non lucids have been on my back yesterday and today. Plus I just remembered the non lucid I wasn't able to post last time so I will do that now.Also, I will count the very short non lucids I got from practicing WILD but only as fragments since they were really short.Also, yesterday think i fell asleep around 12am but last night I fell asleep around 2am.

      Non lucid 1

      I was outside near my old best friend's house and there were native Americans throwing fire around the place. A bit of fire got on my hand so I blew it out with my power and ended up blasting the door of a car off. After that I was told that there was something wrong with me and that I would have to be carefully watched.

      Non Lucid 2(WILD PRACTICE) Fragment because it was really short and only lasted a few seconds

      At a moment I also ended up into a quick non lucid dream scene where my brother was talking to me about a black folder like thing on the wall that can hold your stuff but i snapped out of it quickly.

      Non lucid 3

      I was inside my house with my brother and his friends but than a guy's girl tried cheating on him with my younger brother.I tried beating her up but the dream wouldn't let me. When I left the room I appeared in a public retirement home where there were Grandmas trying to give me advice on what had happened. There was also a scene where a Jamaican cartoon was living in a island with a cartoon monkey that resembled MadMonkey I guess cause of his avatar.

      Non Lucid 4

      I was at a Indian palace that was being overtaken by thieves and ran but stopped to look at a school display of what was supposed to be past lives items on the wall. This led to me being assigned to my old third grade teacher again who was not up to teaching me because of how old I was. As we were exiting the place a lady asked me what was wrong I told her it was something related to love. Than she told me that I shouldn't stop loving someone even if it really hurts and started shaking me. When she told me that I was Miku and than she introduced me to some tall guy who had a metal mask on and asked him if he would be my prince. He said no and than after something else happened I woke up.

      Non Lucid 5(WILD PRACTICE) Fragment because it was really short and only lasted a few seconds

      I was at a beach and being splashed with water from the ocean by someone.

      Non Lucid 6

      After writing down the other dreams down I can't remember last night's dream. Maybe I'll remember later.

    6. Summer Comp. Day 7 - FA, Sensei summon, TOTM Basic I & II; Advanced I

      by , 08-05-2016 at 01:32 PM
      Got a little to late to bed and had to stand up early. this time i tried the mantra " i will wake up at 5", woke up at 3:30... good enough, did a WBTB and SSILD. Fall asleep and woke up at 5:30 with a lucid in my pocket.

      i´m lying "awake" in my bed and feel not sleepy. i do a nosepinch and i am asleep. i stand up, the quality is not too good. i rub my hands and feel my barefeet on the ground. i phase thru the window and float down to the ground. i only can open one eye and the other feels dry and hurts a little. as i try to open it too i loose visuals completely. i still feel my body and do some swiming motions. at the beginning i do breastrokes but then get a little more energetic and start crawling. i feel how my back gets warm from the muscletension. i (think) to feel my body in my bed and try to slowly move my head without waking because i think i lie on my eye [i think in the end everything was in the dream but i am not sure]. i correct my position and use more tactile senses until i stand again in my room this time with a very good quality. i phase thru the window again and fly down to the ground. there are everywhere bags of different sweets. i think "ah some points for eating, seems to be here because i probably fall asleep with an empty and hungry stomach" and pick up a diam chocolate and take some in my mouth. i feel the consistence but dont pay to much attention to the taste. i cross the street put my hand behind my back and call for sensei. immediately a big hand takes mine and i turn around. an asian looking guy with a bald head and athletic body looks at me. i start to ask "tell me a secret about s... oh damn i wanted to summon FryingMan and not sensei... Nevermind... so tell me a secret about Fryingman" he nods and we start waking next to a construction side and into a building. we hold hands for some time? we phase together thru a wall and i look at him while he phases thru. it looks interesting. he needs some time until he starts talking. he starts and for whatever reason he talks in english and not in german. he talks like he would tell me an epic story. i am confused because of the language and i feel like his sentences dont make sense or i dont understand them. i ask him if he might talk in german plz and he nods again but starts in english again. he says something about 'mind streching' and 'knowing for long time'... i interrupt him and ask if behind me there is a microscope, he denys and i look behind and there is nothing, i say "but there has to be one here" and keep on looking. i think i found one and approach it, put some items aside but notice that its a vinyl player. damn... some meters away sensei says "here is a microsope" i go there and it is a digital one. i ask sensei if he would like to accompany me in my dream and do some tasks but he denys and tells me he cant because soon there will be some fights. i push a latexbutton and the light goes on. on the table there are two smartphone with some picture with woods and people in comic style. i put it under the microscope and see the screen magnified and the colors of the picture fluctuate in waves... i feel a little disappointed because i thought i would see something cool. i move away and tell sensei to look inside. he looks and i see a reflection of the lights at a wall. while i think about what to do next i wake up... i try to DEILD but no chance

      First dream

      It was a cold evening. There were some people gathered on my backyard, wandering around enormous boxes and random furniture. I went there to check what's going on, but I haven't found out too much.

      Second dream

      It was some kind of political conference. I was standing among other politicians, Trump was talking about something when suddenly we all started making jokes off him. I passed a few comments that made everyone laugh and Trump just mad.

      Third dream

      I was back in my school, it was beginning of my last year in that technical. The school was mostly empty and head director was different. They haven't had too much students. I sat in one row with my classmates.

      Fourth dream

      I was in the attic of my house with my younger sister. We were tidying the place up and thinking how we'd arrange things when we'll finally start renovating the place and making rooms up there.
    8. Morning WILD

      , 08-05-2016 at 02:52 AM (Turquoise Dreams)
      Off today, so I did a morning nap.

      6:34 - 2x300 mg Alpha GPC
      7:36 - 2x4mg pure Galantamine
      nap, slept till 10:30

      My cat wanted to lay on me but he won't unless I have a blanket on me. It was too hot for that but I put a sheet on my legs. He is my good luck WILDing charm, plus I love when he purrs when he sleeps on me. He left to eat then came back, just when I was about to turn to my left side, like last 4 times, 3 times out of I got a WILD. But soon he left again and I turned and got lucid.

      I had my new cheapo eyemask on like last few times. Oh, I did something new this time and last time. I just read in I think Yuschaks book, that he imagines bending his legs in knees on exhale and straightens them on inhale. Kind of an RC which lets him know when he is dreaming.

      I did the same and also lifting my arm up and down. And I saw my arm move at some point later on, but I was too far gone to realize it deeper than just a passing thought.

      I was in some kind of a building and ofc I jumped out the first window I saw. I started falling towards a large body of water. I thought oh no, not water, but it was too late. I hit the surface and I willed myself to go deeper. Water was a bit murky but I got to the bottom soon. It was featurless, other than sand and some sand rocks. I thought "what about sharks" and I spotted a few large fish. But I wasn't scared.

      On the beach now. Sand has large grain and small pebbles. I remember what I read in Yuschaks book just yesterday. When he doesn't have good vision, he concentrates on looking at something in detail. But he can't stop moving, so he is jumping in place while he is looking at details of something till his vision is back. So I picked up a handfull of beach sand and was staring at it intently. Then I remembered I should keep moving so I started clapping my hands and jumping in place while looking at the sand.

      Somehow I got out and entered a large barge parked on the shore. I went through a corridor with many doors, thinking how I don't really like doors or indoors. But I thought maybe I'll find somehing interesting. I started opeing the doors, looking for some DCs. I forgot all about the TOTMs and all I could think of a DC to get laid.

      All the rooms are completely empty, not a single DC. Finally there is someone sitting on a bed but it turns into a chick just as I approach. I'm think "oh really, shucks" but at this point I don't really care. We get into it.

      Now I'm on a different bed with many older man around. I was just sold to this old Greek for half a milion. I wanna ask "half a milion of what? drachma"? but I hold my tongue.

    9. #188: Longest lucid so far

      by , 08-05-2016 at 02:38 AM
      Went to bed around 1am, woke up around 6am, stayed awake for a little bit and then went to sleep. Woke up again, fell asleep again shortly after.

      I'm driving my motorbike around in Indonesia. It appears to be the city that I live in, though the architectural influences are definitely more Chinese (from the one building that I remember seeing). It was a traditionally red building. It had something written on the side, I think the name of the citizen, along with Barat [Indonesian for West]. I assume it to be the city hall for the western district of the city. I'm driving with a guy following me on his bike. I want to make a u-turn at one intersection, but I need to wait because the king of the Netherlands will pass shortly. I consider passing anyway, since traffic rules in Indonesia rarely apply, but I decide to wait. A guy comes by on some kind of shove cart, with another guy on it. This seems too low budget for the king. Both guys appear to have tanned skin and the king of the Netherlands is white.

      I spot a white girl close to a wall. I instantly recognise her as a girl from my bachelor study, though her characteristic curly hair is now straightened. I start walking up to her and the moment she sees me she kinda goes "ugh". I start talking to her in Dutch. I tell her that she probably thinks I'm one of these foreigner hunting Indonesians [that's actually a thing], but that I recognise her from our studies. She asks me what that might be. I hesitate for a moment, pretending to think and then tell her the name of our bachelor. This opens her up a bit more and I think we talk.

      Eventually we're walking with another white guy. He's sort of her mentor. He has brown hair, average length for a guy and perhaps glasses. I think he talks with a southern accent, Belgian even. He talks softly though, so I can't understand all that he's saying. The girl is walking to my left and he is even further left. At one point I switch places with the girl so that I can hear him better. He's talking about something intellectual. A fourth person joins us, a guy. Either that person or the girl starts signalling someone. I look and see that someone is going to use a pipe and blow darts to shoot the guy. I move to the right, out of harms way. The person doing the shooting is standing in plain sight a few metres away. I can see the trajectory of the darts. Miss. Miss. Miss. So many misses. At one point the person is standing so close that it's basically execution style and starts hitting the guy in the shoulder. After a while the guy with the darts just discards the pipe and starts spitting out darts with force, the way some people spit watermelon seeds. No way! Next thing my friend Veb is in a white cabrio that's parked and starts doing the same. Then they start shooting it from their fingers. I move in to punch Veb on the head from behind, but I miss. He looks at me and I know I'm fucked. I duck.


      It's at this moment that I decide that I must be dreaming. I try and succeed to push my finger through my palm, giving off a slight sensation. I'm in the living room of my mom's house. The order of things is a bit blurry. Throughout the lucid I keep performing the same RC to stabilise myself, as well as looking at my hands. My little brother is present and he is annoying me. He's distracting me by making noise, making me fear to loose the lucid. At some point I decide to take some pictures of him while he's getting dressed and threaten to upload them to... idk. The television in the living room is also distracting me. It's showing Spongebob. I tell the tv to turn off, perhaps making a hand gesture as well. It does so. Sweet. I also shout several times that this is my dream and I want it to be stable, and similar commands. I think it actually worked for a bit. I think I shouted it in English, though perhaps also in Dutch. I wonder about what my real body is doing, but I decide fuck it if I'm screaming in reality too, though I'm probably not. I really shouted my commands the way a high rank in the military would. Loud and not even considering that they might not be adhered to. My mom comes into the living room and starts brushing her teeth, which makes quite a lot of noise. I first want her to stop, as I want to focus on creating a waterball, which is difficult cause I have no clue how to. I decide to take a different approach. I put my index and middle fingers to my temples and will myself to teleport. I can't really think of any place, so I just teleport to just outside the front door. It worked. The dream scenery isn't complete though. There are parts missing, kinda similar to when you go towards the edge too fast in a sandbox game and the game needs to load the rest of the map. I realise I just completed one of my dream goals by teleporting. I'm also probably lucid for longer than a minute by now, finally. I teleport once more, now down to the street. I don't know why, considering that the dream was already incomplete. It's here that I really start slipping away and eventually wake up. I performed the RC several times to check.

      1 pt: Non-Lucid
      2 pts: WBTB


      I had a non-lucid dream about being on Big Brother. I was conspiring with Michelle, also called Meech. I called her Meech.

      Did a wbtb at 5:45am but was unsuccessful, I just fell back asleep & when I woke up I was jarred awake by my phone ringtone which is a song that is abrupt. I'm changing it for this comp because it keeps having this effect on me... They say my central A/C will be working tomorrow. I pray that is the case because trying to lucid dream in 88 degree temps is really hard

      Opinion

      The past two nights I have slept right through, which is really unusual for me..! Normally I wake up numerous times before sleeping proper, sometimes as many as 8 to 10 times a night, it sounds a lot 'cos it is..!
      So anyway, when I wake, I usually use it as an opportunity to WBTB, but sleeping through robbed me of this option..! I'm not too upset, it was nice to sleep for once (twice) and I did still dream..! The mistake I made though was not recording my dream when I woke up..! I still have vague feelings, but no solid imagery..!


      I remember there was some flying involved, I'm not surprised I remember that, I always seem to recall flying dreams, my mother was there and so was Joy..! I recall a drug theme, trying to get some, but unable to, which is usually the case..!

      So, this entry is just to keep my motivation up (simple continuity), I would normally forget, as I did and then just give up..! I'm determined not to do that this time, we'll see..!

      by , 08-04-2016 at 11:46 PM (The Dream Adventures of MadMonkey)
      Yesterday I received my package of galantamine and alpha gpc. This is my first time using these supplements. I don't like to rely on supplements but I have heard good things about galantamine and wanted to give it a try. I am not very good at WILD because I take a while to start dreaming. This should act sort of like training wheels while I build up my WILD skills. The only other supplements I have tried are b vitamins and choline which simply ensure I am not deficient. Galantamine, on the other hand, puts your brain into over drive and produces more acetycholine than it naturally does. Alpha GPC is a more powerful form of Choline than what I used before because I will need a even larger supply.

      After 4.5 hours of sleep I wrote down a short non lucid dream and took 8mg of galantamine and 600gm of alpha gpc with a granola bar and some water. My WBTB was half an hour long and while I started to feel more alert I didn't feel like it was a good night for WILD so I a mainly set my intentions for DILD.

      Galantamine Works (DILD)

      I am at some sort of makers festival. Adam Savage is giving a demonstration of a home made roller coaster someone made. In the dream I am an acquaintance of Adam's so he allows me to demonstrate it for the crowd. I hang from a little seat and swing around a track and it is surprisingly fun for being such a small ride. Afterwards, I go back to an RV that I guess my dad, sister, and I are renting for the trip. I see that we left it running and now the battery is dead and it won't start. I feel tired and stressed so I decide to take a nap. I also remember driving the RV through some snow covered mountains but I don't remember if that was after or before this section.

      I wake up in an FA and I am having breakfast with Harry Potter and the Weasley family in their kitchen while the sun is still coming up. Aurthur, Molly, William, Ron, and Harry are there with me. I find myself drinking a glass of burbon on the rocks. Aurthur says what I was thinking,"Isn't it a bit early for that?" Molly says,"Oh, dear, don't drink that. You will have a nasty hang over at the wedding." I take a sip and it tastes fricken delicious. It has strong fruity notes and a spicy kick at the finish. I say, "Try this though. It is so good!" and hand it to Aurthur and Molly for them to try. Aurthur says "hm!" and Molly says,"That is good!" Percy comes in a bit later and doesn't look like he does in the movies. He has glasses like in the books and longer hair. At first I wonder if he is Charlie but he says something pretentious and I know it's more likely Percy. Things start to explode around us and we take cover. I teleport outside and hide in the bushes except instead of The Burrow it is my family home. Voldemort floats up and shoots an avadakadavra spell through the window and I see Bellatrix Lestrange running and laughing. I teleport again.

      I am on a space ship that is being boarded by another ship. I am captured and going to be taken to be a slave of The Collector from Guardians of the Galaxy. Some of us escape somehow and end up on a grungy space station. My girlfriend is there now and we go into a dark room where a crowd is watching a play. It is about the religion Santeria and I have to explain to my girlfriend how Santeria works and isn't Catholicism. People shush us. After not to long the play ends and I go up to tell the actors and actresses they did a good job. One of the blond actresses says we should all hang out sometime and insists on getting our contact information. I write my number and email on a sticky note and leave. I am in a city on some other planet now. All the buildings look like they are decaying and falling apart. There are lots of DCs walking around in this area.

      I hear a voice in my head. It is the actress from earlier. She says that she has hacked all my accounts with the info I gave her. What the heck? She says,"Thanks for putting your username and password on there too." What? I didn't put my password on there. I start running and go into a less populated area. Where am I anyways? I climb up one of the collapsing buildings and stand on the roof. The city extends very far and is just as messed up looking all over. There is an ocean nearby and mountains and the sky is very blue.


      I become lucid and feel very euphoric and happy. I jump off the building and fall for a bit. I catch myself and feel that the gravity on this planet is a little bit heavier. I start flying out over the ocean where there mountains are sticking out of the water. There are tall stone columns like in Zhangjiajie China except sticking out of the ocean. There is collorful foliage on the cliffs and a giant waterfall coming out of one of them. This reminds me a lot of the Vision of Beasts in Far Cry Primal. It feels very trippy. I remember that to get the most points for Spellbee2's contest I need to do my third three-step task which is the completely phase through something. I see one of the pillars ahead and decide to use that. I prepare myself and fly as fast as I can at it. I put my hand in front of my eyes so I can focus on making my peripheral vision move as fast as possible. I remove my hand and fly right through the pillar. It is the thickest thing I have ever phased through and makes a phwomp sound as I do so.

      I turn back to the mainland and see the dead city sprawling before me. Only one building looks normal. It is a redish brick castle on a small rock island right off the coast. That must be where my dream guide is. I fly down to it and land on the highest tower. I stick my hand back and feel a hand take hold of mine. I start to wake up though and loose visuals. I am determined and maintain the feeling of the hand. I pull it forward and feel the rest of the arm too. I feel a dress that feels like the one my dream guide wore the first time we met. She jumps up and hugs me with her legs wrapped around me. I still can't see anything. I hold her up and compare our heights. I estimate that she is about my height but taller than me with her heels on. "Dream guide?" I say. I try and see her face and I am a bit startled as my vision comes back suddenly and a bit distorted. She doesn't have a witch hat on this time and I try and see the color of her hair. It starts out red but as the dream stabilizes it becomes dark purple. "Hi Monkey." she says with a kind smile. She looks slightly different than last time with dark hair I think but it is definitely her.


      My dream journal says the first time I met her her hair was probably dark purple although I had a hard time remembering for sure. The second time it was definitely red. A few weeks later when I saw this wallpaper for Runescape. I knew that was almost exactly what her face and hair looked like. Now that I pull up that wallpaper in photoshop and make the hair purple it does in fact look how she looks in this dream!


      "I'm sorry. I never asked your name when we first met." I apologize. Somehow a name comes to my mind, however. Juliana Is that a false memory? Did I ask her name in a previous dream and forget until now? "You don't remember?" she says. "Well, actually, now I don't know." I reply. "Go ahead. Say it." she insists. "Juliana?" I ask. "Bingo" We start walking toward a walk way along the castle walls. "Where have you been this whole time Juliana? I don't mean to be rude but you haven't exactly been much of a guide." I ask her. "Where have I been? It's not like you haven't been absent too. I'm a busy lady. This last couple days I was captured while fighting against the Darshana. Aleins that are working for ?????? I don't remember the name here. She starts to explain more stuff but I stop following her and say "Wait, before we get any further, will you follow me around till the end of this dream?" "No" she scoffs "Your following me. I'm the guide." "I just have to ask that for the Task of the Month." I explain. "Fine" she says and we start to walk again I see that we are walking up some steps toward some sort of dome structure. "You sure are spunky Juliana. Oh, also tell me a secret of AndresLD's." I ask. "Andres? Hmm." she pauses. "Stay away from him for a while. In your dreams I mean. He is still recovering from a dry spell and has something he needs to work through first." She goes back to explaining how she escaped from the aliens and ended up here sort of like how I did. I ask her what is this place and she says it is a planet called "Drywall". The aliens work for her nemesis, an evil witch. She seems to imply that I have met her before. I have another one of those vague memories of a blond witch. "But wait I'm friends with a blond witch. That isn't her is it?" I think. Juliana asks, "Don't you remember?" . I have a hard time telling what memories are real and what are false. "Wow my dream memory can be really shit sometimes huh." I say.

      We are entering the threshold of the large open dome. It may be some type of observatory. "Juliana, slow down real quick. Where do witches get their powers anyways?" She starts to explain but it goes a bit over my head and is hard to remember. I start to wake up and try to DEILD but fail.
      I wake up in my sister's house in Fresno although it isn't really layed out accurately. I get out of bed and the sun has come up but my brother in law is the only one awake. "Hey, It's been a while hasn't it?" he says. I wonder, how long has it been. It can't have been more than a couple months. I think this must be a FA so I do a nose plug but surprisingly no air gets through. That's weird. I go to the window and there is a large pumpkin bounce house. I do two more RCs and they both fail and I wake up for real at home.

      After waking up I felt a euphoric feeling both from the galantamine and from the fact that I completed a goal that has meant a lot to me since 2011. I had a barely perceptible jiteryness in my arms that comes with taking higher doses of galantamine. I also felt pretty wiped out from having such an intense dream and didn't feel capable of going back to sleep for more. I am definitely going to take 4mg next time so that my body can get used to it. I won't take galantamine more than once a week and reserve it for special occasions because it can build up in your system and mess up your sleep schedule. I have to say though it was very successful!

      Night 3, Dream 3


      It's late at night, around 23:15 - I can see this on a wall clock. With some other people, I walk into a warehouse, where we're going to build or do something. The warehouse closes at midnight and I'm worried we don't have enough time. The warehouse is accessed from behind, then down an open passage between crates or walls and past a guard.

      Night 3, Dream 4


      I'm walking through an underground facility like Half-Life's, and throwing objects around with the Gravity Gun.

      Night 5, Dream 5


      I'm at an airport check-in desk in Greece with other people when I realize that two of three bags are missing. I walk out of the building to look for them, panic and wake up.

      Night 6

    14. Recurring Dream Signs, Trance vs Mindfulness .

      Get a hot streak of lucidity > Have confidence > Go on a dry spell > Repeat


      What is so irritating about lucid dreaming it that it isn't a linear progression like fitness or a mastery of any other skill. The success rate is so random and inconsistent that it feels like I am wasting my time. At this point, I should be a master of lucid dreaming because I have been writing, thinking and acting on it for about 7 years now. Anyway, I had a dream about my old private school; a place that I had not been to in over 10 years yet it has been a recurring dream scene.

      It was the end of the school year, we were finishing up taking final exams and I thinking about how I was bored and wish I had brought my laptop - the one I am typing on right now.

      If I can understand the root cause of why dreams are incubated and successfully control that root, lucid dreaming should be a piece of cake. What is it, memories? Expectations? Things which I have been mindlessly engaged in? Or how about things that I have been mindfully engaged in like a show that has resonated with me? Both the latter and the former have occurred inside my dreams.

      Right now? I am actively engaged in writing this journal entry. So much so, I was not aware of the fellow opening a bag of chips behind me until I started paying attention. My thoughts are reading these words aloud so my mind's hearing is also engaged in this.

      Instead of a mindless repetition, why don't I give a mental speech about lucid dreaming inside my head as I fall asleep instead of a mantra. Sure that is a billion different words more than a simple mantra repeated indefinitely, but as long as a the main idea of "Have a lucid dream" is a recurring, I should have no problem smuggling that idea into the dream world.

      Mantras have never worked.

      Maybe I need to slow it down too; give my mind time be passively engaged as to let me fall asleep and seamlessly transition into the dream world.

      Had to wake up and do something urgently, so I couldn't recall too much. Also had a WBTB try at about 02:41.
