1. I am at my lab bench trying to turn on the two LED goose-neck lamps above my bench. The lights will not turn on when I flip the switch, so I reach in and check the bulb. The left lamp shorts out and makes sparks when I twist the bulb. The right lamp has no bulb in it at all. I completely disregard the classic light-switch dream sign, and even more stupidly tell myself, “Oh well, the lights are not supposed to work in a dream anyway.”


2. I am helping a friend sand rusty spots on a trailer before repainting it. We are using ridiculously small pieces of sand paper that are not much larger than my finger tip. It must be magical sand paper though, because all the rust is gone with one gentle swipe, leaving the metal shiny clean.

It seems that I’ve improved my recall recently, but now I’m back to ground-zero on dream signs and triggers. *adds to-do list item: NOTICE DREAM SIGNS!!!

2 nights ago:

+ snowy star trek: kirk, spock, mccoy / buses roundabout, exploding car

+ half-visible man in restaurant [double take], leave, friends waiting for hours outside, sit at table, talk about selling old home, bad strategy one guy says, to buy back and sell it will take 8 times the investment, we used it to finance our move I say we doubled our money but nobody's interested

+ runescape/game overhead map, city routes, sea lanes, gold/ diamonds markers on the open sea on island where you're attacked, flyer advertising unique items in a harder area, hide it when sister comes by

+ packing up my things (laptop, duffle bag) on chairs on street so they won't be stolen

+ meet JW as new employee, he calls me I don't recognize him I hear him on phone and in "reality", he mentions "Wei" (from his old job) is now here too, he wants me to show him where the HR office is, it's quite a walk away, I think he can go himself, after all, I went myself, then I think I can drink a soda while we walk and agree, he says that Wei is from his wargaming club, I ask is that the one where people pound their fists into the table and yell. JW is asking about the company news (USENET) reader, I think who reads USENET any more? It's just for porn these days I think. A young girl from HR comes and mentions that the "vague" (?) software sucks.

last night:

fairly long night, memory overflow, detailed dreams, a bit fragmented.

+ in former PTL adult home, wife is away, I'll go get junk food? She returns too soon, same day
+ playing monopoly with TZ at a (party?)
+ in a toy store playing with a lego-like system?
+ I have an award, two pins on my lapel which I put in before entering into a competition, digging hole into electronics the woman will help
+ bus ride, guy yelling outside, bus moving fast I hop on and it swings around and stops at a stop
+ dark snowy road, baby crying, one car arrives and rear-ends another, they jump in to house, guy commands to go get stuff, in return for food he'll provide
+ guys have to give back things to the sitting woman: table, sculpture, etc.

I am riding in my dad’s truck down an everyday stretch of road. I suddenly hear a loud aircraft behind us so I turn around to see what it is. To our left, I see four sea containers that are attached together and are flying low over a shopping center. As I watch them fly very low over the road behind us, I question, “How is that thing even flying?” Moments later, it crashes into the ground and pulls down a bunch of wires and a traffic light pole.

As I awaken, I say, “...yep, that happens every day. Nothing to see here, move along. “

(Note: This entry was forgotten on my voice recorder and I failed to record the date and time of the entry. I’m certain that it was May, but no idea which day.)

I am at a trade show walking with a couple of familiar associates. We get our entry passes and walk onto the exhibition floor. One of the other guys tells me that they’re going to go over to our company booth. I let them know I’ll be there in a minute because I want to check out a couple of other booths. I walk for a bit and find a booth with a large banner that says “Dream Views”. I walk up and find OpheliaBlue talking with several people at the side of the booth. She waves and I wave back. As I get closer, an older guy with a nametag that says “Quirky” greets me. I ask him where Alex is and he points toward a conference room with closed blinds, saying “He’s in the middle of a meeting over there.” Just to the right of the conference room, Gab is sitting with some people at a table. I wave but she just gives me a blank stare back. I tell Quirky, “I’ll come back when they’re not so busy.”, then I walk off.

I am driving a very small car up a steep mountain road. On the right side is a steep uphill grade and to the left is a sharp drop-off into a river far below. I drive along for a bit when my passenger tells me to turn into a small road that goes up to the right. I turn and drive up a very steep and narrow road. After a short bit, the road narrows even more with trees really close on both sides. After another short while, the surface of the road becomes engulfed by the roots of trees. Eventually, the roadway becomes elevated on top of the roots which is now quite a ways above the ground. I approach a corner in the road and some of the roots are broken away, making it impossible to drive on. We get out of the car and walk the rest of the way around the turn and down the road.



Eventually the tree root road comes down along a fence and meets the ground. I am walking toward a farm house where a woman is washing clothes in a tub and putting them through a wringer before hanging on a line to dry. I continue walking toward an outbuilding where I meet up with some familiar DC’s. They invite me inside to find a bar and pool tables.

Dream 1: I was at university trying to find out if I could transfer into a lucid dreaming class next semester (Doh! :p) I sat in on an information lecture about it, then at the end asked some questions. They told me that it would actually take up two classes instead of one, so if I did it then I would have to delay my degree by 6 months to catch up. I mulled over this, then I think I told her I would think about it and left.

Dream 2: I was at my primary school in the evening. There was a huge disease ridden tree in the courtyard which I started to climb before coming back down and walking out the front of some classrooms, full of memories.

Dream 3: There was a news segment about the royals on tv, apparently celebrating Charlotte's first birthday, where William said that the first rumours about Kate being pregnant started 10 months before Charlotte was born so he had a bit of a giggle at that.

28/5/16
Dream 1: I was a part of some secret agent group that was like a maths taskforce. I got into an argument with my brother after he said my maths wasn't good enough, then I walked around the secret base for a bit, with lots of Asian décor, then had an epiphany and started getting every maths question right.

Dream 2: I was arguing over the audio format for a project I was working on with some others.

Dream 3: An old guy was telling me and some other people about how he had grown up in a tiny little town ninety years ago, and how much everything had changed since then.

Dream 4: I was at an athletics track where a whole bunch of kids were competing. I went to the discus cage and I think tried to kidnap one of the kids lol.

27/5/16
Dream 1: My brother got a lockpicking set as a present for his birthday, complete with a set of tools and five practice locks, which I played around with for a bit.

Another big dream adventure but I forgot it when I woke up.

Not sure what's going on. Not really remembering dreams. And if I do, they are chaotic, nothing that I can put into words.

True, I sleep less than normally. Going to bed around 9-10pm and getting up around 3am. I sleep better than when I was on midnight shifts, but something is off.

I'm also having hard time getting a morning nap, since I have only one shot at it having only one day a week off.

Too many thoughts in my head, too many things to work out. I kinda know what's bothering me, but I just can't get rid of it. Maybe with time. Or maybe I don't want for it go away. This way there is always hope.

Where are the times of 7 DEILD chains? Happy times.

I'm in a dark place by a building looking at someone. Then all of a sudden I am like falling and I see a chest on top of me which I am trying to get off of me. Been having dreams where I am feeling really uncomfortable lately...

Non-lucid: I was with my dad in 2 different dreams but over the day I lost track of the details. Both pertained to my childhood town.

I don't remember my dream

I had many dreams tonight, ranging from deep epics to short lucidity bursts.

The first one was once again an utter failure on my part as far as DILD goes.

I was downtown, when I realized a miley cyrus concert was going on in an intersection. I was a couple blocks away when I noticed Miley walk out of a VIP area that was unmarked with two organizers, telling them to do something. I didn't really care about her but I thought it was a great opportunity for me to take a leap and explore the VIP. I walked past her and casually said hi. She asked if I was invited in there I said of course and kept walking, she said are you going in? I freeze up then say yes. I enter the plaza. It's a residential home downtown with a plaza out back, and there are a bunch of roadies and such here. One of them was phillip seymour hoffman's character from Boogie Nights. I entered the place, and in a room watching a movie I found every popular kid who I have ever felt judged by in my life. All the kids from camp, from high school, were all there. I walk in and ask what kind of drugs they had taken to be watching such a strange movie, and a girl pipes up "aww little jonny is scared of a little bit of drugs" to which I reply "Actually I'm just super baked and hoping you have some better shit on you". They all laugh and I walk out. I feel kind of liberated, and it's funny how now in life I don't have to worry about popularity being outside of a teenage environment, and yet that time of my life is still so deep rooted in my subconscious. I should also say that when I entered that room I should have immediately reality checked seeing as it was a room completely filled with bendos but eventually I will have that skill.

I later left the party and got in steamy. Lee was driving and in the back was me, tyler, and anna. There was some random porno on in the back which was super weird so I just got out to walk. As I was walking they decided to go to a big party so they started ripping backwards down the road with the doors wide open so I could jump in. They gave me they keys and I took it to a parking lot once they hit their party. I woke up as the cops came to arrest me for having drugs in the van or something.

I went back to bed, and found myself on a path in the deep rainforest. There were massive trees around, and someone was narrating in my ear about how old they are, and how the female trees live for thousands of years, where the male trees will grow up in droves, and then burn down all at once, yet the females are so large and thick the fire cannot start them. I exited the woods above a high cliff/hill that was next to a city, with a beautiful bay of water at the bottom. As I was walking along the path, I saw a beautiful sight. I should have reality checked but I was so fascinated. It was one of those pathways with trees lining both sides of it, and they curved sharply just above head level to form a beautiful tunnel of branches, and out the other end of it you could just see water. I stared at it for a long time and walked through it. At the other end on a bench to the left of the trees was an old woman, staring off at the ocean. I walked back up through them, and as I began to I was suddenly listening in on a phone conversation between my dad and Cam, talking about how I always suspected I was dreaming, and that everyone was a figment of my imagination. I still did not reality check!

After they finished I was at the top of a cliff created by building parking lots at the top of the steep hill. There was a trade show or guerilla marketing fair there where phone companies had people doing running races and such to win free swag. I looked off at the beautiful blue water and knew I wanted to fly over it. I told the person at the koodo both that I was going to sue them for making me do this in their games (ha!) and then I jumped off the edge of the lot. I went plummeting toward the water, and realized I would probably die. There was a guy on a jet ski below staring in horror, but at the last second i pulled up with inches to spare, and ripped across the surface of the water at the speed of a fighter jet. The exhilaration was so much that I instantly awoke.

In my final dream, as I began to sleep again, I was at my old public school. It was a simple dream, I simply watched a street dog walk around looking for a mate. He found a beautiful border collie, and grabbed her, as she willingly led him carry her by the scruff to his territory in the school. I knew he would begin mating, so I lost interest. Next to me suddenly was a phillipino woman, who said "This reminds me of my home country... but I can't remember where that is." I knew immediately she was a dream character hastily thrown in to distract me, and she did not know her origin because she was not real. I hit lucidity fast and hard but started waking from the excitement, and unwisely tried to scream lucidity boost when I should have simply slowed down and observed the world around me in a meditative way. It was fleeting and strong, and then I awoke.

Steamy

I'm walking down a driveway in front of a two story structure as a narrator finishes speaking. I begin thinking about my awareness practice and wonder how good I'll be at lucid dreaming/dream yoga in three years if I keep working hard at it. I wonder if it'll all be worth it. My awareness raises as I reach farther down the driveway, and it feels as though visuals from my pre-bed meditation kick in. I become lucid as my hands come in front of me, and I'm good to go; no need to do a formal RC at this point. There is a slight shock at how clear/rational my mind feels at this point. I fly a bit upward and notice a street running in front of the property, dense woodland laying beyond. I continue flying, and make my way across the property and across the road. As I enter the woodland I make a point to use all of my senses, anchoring myself into the dream. I feel this area may be due to my first dream goal of heading to an astral forest. My stabilization feels pretty solid as I enter my way into the trees, gliding smoothly. I begin rubbing my dream body to practice this technique a bit. I feel all my limbs and torse get stimulated by hands as if a slight staitic is running through them. I consider using visualization to try a dream goal, but decide to explore and practice stabilzation instead. I continue my way through the trees, alternating between rubbing my dream body and using my senses. The branches are thick with pine needles. The dream gets a bit blurry but I hang in for a while. I enter a void soon then go into a short period of non-lucidity before waking. I attempt a DEILD, and get very close to my separation point, but I don't quite 'sink' into the next. I stay up for the day.

I've dreamt of being in school and made it through my thursday scedule:

German, Chemics, Physics, Maths, English (yay all 5 major-subjects in a row!!), and finally social studies. Then I woke up XD

Actually I love dreaming of school because normally I have the best dreams when my classmates appear but this time I just dreamt of a normal day in school?! Hate it XD
