It was very dark out the whole dream, like midnight dark. I was working in a several story high office building, but it wasn't like a skyscraper or anything. Just a several story brick building, very boring on the outside, and it looked a lot like the building from The Office.

Anyway, the woman in the cubicle kind of behind and across from mine was maybe in her mid to late 50s, stocky but not fat, with frosted dark blondish hair. She wore a sort of suit jacket and shell with a skirt and some low heels. Her jacket was sort of a pinky color, her skirt was more of a taupe. I can't remember if she wore glasses, but I don't think so.

There was another woman there, a middle-aged black woman who was very no-nonsense, and I think maybe she was supposed to be one of the Human Resources people.

I vaguely recalled the older lady leaving, but I turned round to talk to her and she was gone... I asked where she went, and the other woman told me she was gone - as in, gone for good, she'd left the company. I was a little bit surprised by this, since I hadn't realized she was leaving, otherwise I'd have said goodbye.

So the other woman was leaving for the night, and I didn't want to be in the building all alone, so I decided to leave, too. I got out into the parking lot and she got into a very tiny white car that looked sort of like an older BMW but very, very small. I recall thinking that it was a very expensive car, and that someone else in the company had one, too. Anyway, she drove off. I didn't have a car. It was extremely dark outside, and sort of rainy.

I briefly woke up. When I started dreaming again, I wasn't lucid, and the office building had turned into a really swanky hotel. I went back inside. The lobby was really brightly lit, and I recall there being a lot of gold stuff... maybe the carpet was even a gold color... it was fancy in the "trying too hard to be fancy" sense, where it came off as not being as fancy as it was trying to be (but still pretty fancy). Not exactly gaudy, either, though.

Suddenly I was a kung fu master who had somehow ended up getting a job at this hotel... for whatever reason. I don't recall what it was. I just recall going into sort of a ballroom/meeting room and everybody was completing handwriting assignments. Not quite calligraphy. I recall a professor coming through and grading them by marking them with streaks of watercolor, and he gave me a really bad grade, which I was pissed off by because my handwriting was clearly very good! I'd just written in a different language than everybody else. So we argued about it - I don't recall the exact words, or even if there were words at all, I think there was more of the sense that I was protesting than me actually saying anything specifically and the assumption that an argument had happened - and then eventually he wiped off the bad mark he'd put on it.

After that, I went out into the lobby and Donald Trump was there with his daughters. He was arguing with the receptionist.

So I ordered a FitBit yesterday. My boyfriend has one because I got him one for his birthday, and I'm interested in the heart rate tracker and sleep tracker. It's hard for me to tell how much sleep I get, and I know I wake up a lot.

Dream 1 - Soapy Jack takes down the evil accountants.
I'm in the offices of a small accountancy firm where everything seems to be done by hand. At first I think I've got a temporary job there and just get on with the work, categorising expenses and revenue under nominal codes and all the rest of the boring crap accountants are famous for being boring for. After a while I realise there are some key gaps in my understanding that I would have known if I'd been through the basic introductory training and I rationalise this by saying I must have missed that because I'm an undercover agent!

[I think I woke up here and rejoined the dream in a later dream but I remember it as one dream.]

I'm back at the offices outside of office hours possibly to steal some secret paperwork or some other spy like activity and I realise there are several people already here and they've rumbled me. There are 4-5 of them and they all know kung fu, but so do I, so BRING IT ON! We start doing kicks and flips and blocks and the like, I realise that being outnumbered means I have to be creative, so I start throwing staplers and iPhones and anything else that might slow them down enough to make their attacks manageable, I manage a couple of knock down blows and then dive through the window, grabbing the paperwork on my way and run off into the night.

When I wake up, I'm left with the impression that for some reason my character's name is Soapy Jack. No idea what that's about...

Dream 2 - Shopping is complicated:
I'm at the checkout at Tesco with a trolley full of shopping. I start putting items on the conveyor and reach to get a "next customer please" divider, the little track they're normally on has been used for various little items that people decided they didn't want to buy after all, but there is a divider among the creme eggs and other random bits and bobs.

As the customer before me finishes up and leaves and it's my turn, I realise I left my reusable bags in my car. I ponder just using the disposable bags but my car is parked in the near side of the carpark, so I say to the chap manning the till "do you mind if I nip to my car and get my bags, I'll be literally less than two minutes" and I dash out while he blips my items.

The next thing I know, I'm pulling up in my car at home and realise I just drove home on autopilot rather than getting my bags and the checkout guy has been left waiting!

I rush back to apologise and retrieve my shopping. I get a bit distracted and pick up a couple if other things to buy. At the checkout I ask what happened to my shopping and somebody explains that they finished blipping it and put it in the trolley over by the customer service desk where I can pay for it.

This seems like a good idea and I say thank you but it turns out they want to charge me a fee for their trouble and don't want to tell me how much it is. I wake up confused!


Dream 3 - Sneaking through back gardens:
[I had made notes on this with my voice recorder but managed to l lose the recording, so this is somewhat vague and brief.]

I'm at the bottom of a largeish suburban garden, sneaking through, I climb over fences and through bushes and brambles. After going through half a dozen gardens, I start to climb a flagpole or mobile phone mast or something. At the top I perch on a spar that sticks out the side and watch some kids playing in the garden below. There's some conversation with the kids but I can't recall any of it...

Dream within the dream: A smurf-like girl (she was blue and had a hat) and a human boy met on a beach. It was dark and red-tinted.

I woke up from the dream within the dream, and found out a young boy was going to live with us. It was the boy from my dream. We were to protect him for a couple of years and give him tests to see if he would be ready for the prophecy that was said about him; he and that girl would save the world from a tyrannical rule.

So we moved to a small house in the middle of nowhere and gave him the series of test, all of which he passed easily.

By the time of the prophecy, we left the house in the middle of nowhere and took the boy to Grog (where ever the frack that is). It was on a beach; it felt like it was a beach in the northern side of Lake Michigan. As we passed the enemy camps to get to the beach, we were ambushed and captured, and taken to one of the tents in the center of the camp. We were tied to posts and gagged to keep us quiet.

But it turned out we had an insider there. He was a Kung Fu master, and singlehandedly laid waste to everyone there, while carrying me, still tied up. He freed us all and untied us, and we made our way to the beach as he continued to strike down everyone in our path, easily.

When we got to the beach, the sky was all prismatic and rainbow, a bit like oil gets when it spills on pavement. I got out my phone to take a picture, and I remember I was thinking only in hashtags for a good five minutes of the dream. For instance, while I was taking pictures of the rainbow oil sky, I was thinking #nofilter and #wow.

Then, the lake caught fire and the sky turned deep orange. I took a picture of that, too, and noticed a large, dark castle out in the water. There were rocky spires around it, and a giant dragon statue out of black stone at the front gate of it. There was no bridge to the castle. My mom called the castle Grog when I asked what it was.

We all turned West and walked along the beach, where we found the smurf-like girl from my dream. She stood at a big stone gate. Our boy walked up to her, smiled and hugged her as if they were old friends (even though he'd never met her before). He embraced her very awkwardly, though, too. Since he was a young boy still. They held hands and each touched the gate, which opened with a whirring sound. Some white mist gets released from behind the gate, which spreads over the whole area, lifting the fire and returning the sky to a normal sunset.

We all leave the boy and girl together, for some reason. Like they had a lot of catching up to do. Like, thousands of years of catching up to do, even though they were only 10 at most. While they talked, my family, the Kung Fu master, and I all painted bright, colorful, happy pictures over all the symbols of the tyrannical regime we could find.

Since my lucid dream I haven't really been able to remember my dreams properly anymore. I don't know if that is because I forcefully wake up for the WILD or if I just wake up at the wrong time. Anyway, with some effort I managed to remember some fragments of dreams I had yesterday.

Fragment 1:

I'm at my university in Delft, The Netherlands, and there is a guy there who teaches wing chun kung fu nearby. I tell him that my father is currently following wing chun classes and all of a sudden, this guy starts fighting me. It doesn't hurt and I think he's trying to show me the power of kung fu to convince me to start learning it as well. I can't stop his attacks and I can't remember what happened next.

Fragment 2:

I'm in a public transportation bus and I apparently know the driver. His destination will change as soon as he reaches his last stop, so I decide to ride the bus all the way there, because I would need this bus in the other direction anyway. Next thing I remember is that we're at a bus stop and the driver doesn't drive away at my request, because apparently a bag full of my stuff is outside on the sidewalk. I spot a friend of mine, Yan Fai, and ask him to hand me the bag. Apparently he's a smartass in my dream, because he takes the stuff out of the bag and literally only hands me the bag, whilst laughing. I laugh with him and tell him to hand me the bag with all the stuff in it. So he does and I ask him why he doesn't just ride the bus, seeming he's walking in the same direction the bus is going anyway. He refuses and keeps on walking. My memory of the dream ends here.

Fragment 3:

I'm in my room, and I downloaded something onto my laptop, and saved it on my desktop, something I never do. Apparently it's not something I want anyone to see, especially not anyone at home. Still my screen is facing the open door of my bedroom, and my little sister walks in and asks what those two things are on my laptop. I quickly respond woth something, I can't remember what, and I feel as if I'm busted, yet not completely. The icons of the data I downloaded are both pink and have manga characters on them I think. That's all I remember.

These were the three fragments I could remember, I wish I could have remembered more. Tonight I will definitely succeed!

(...) I had fallen asleep at a train station in the dream and when I wake up I am somewhere else and the first person I see to my left is my guru. He is in some sort of public appearance... It is still fuzzy to me what is going on. Or eyes cross but I can't tell if he recognizes me. I look to my right and there is an entourage of lamas and monks. Then he gets up and everybody else does the same. He moves towards me and says "Hi (my name)! I haven't seen you in a while. How are you?". "Oh, you remember me!", "Off course, silly." Then he puts his right hand over my right shoulder and grabs my left wrist with his left hand and walks with me for a while. I feel his warmth and notice my icy hands. While he is asking me questions I cannot help to feel extremely hot and cold at the same time. At first I ignore, but it becomes so extreme I cannot continue the conversation and I wake up . My body is icy cold, but I am completely drenched in sweat.

(...) I am walking through a park when some guy asks me to take pictures of him doing kung fu poses to send to his friends back home. I agree and then three more people join him, apparently part of the same tour group, making poses for the pics. I relish their skills and they introduce me to their master. It's an extremely amiable old chinese man. I tell him I am now learning martial arts in real life, but kenpo not kung fu. He says that's nice and offers to teach me some signature moves from his school. He demonstrates as he attacks me, but he is kind enough to do it gently and instead of hitting me full force he says "bam, now I hit you in the head.", etc. Unlike the kung fu fights I was used to play in my dreams, now the fights feel extremely realistic. Then he asks me to attack him and show what I know. I feel a bit embarassed, but instinctively apply a series of kicks and punches which he defends with ease. He looks amused at my inexperience but not so much with the last kick, which actually surprises him. He says he wasn't expecting that, since it is a more advanced move. I said I had learned it already and then he exchanges some remarks with another chinese guy. He says that they know the move but teach a version of it to only the more advanced students."

I found myself walking down a up and down the steep streets of a dark empty city with large buildings and no sign of life. I supposed this section of town was strictly open for business during the day. I had with me a clipboard with a piece of paper with all of the "Assassin's Creed Multi-player Bonuses" listed on it. The clipboard and attached paper was wrapped in a plastic grocery bag.

I started walking down a road to an apartment where my friend Seth would be living on the 2nd or 3rd floor. I was still a hundred or so feet away when I could see that a kung-fu studio had bin opened nest door to him by the local church which we used to attend. Through the well lit studio's windows I could see someone in a black gi instructing his or her students.

As I neared the studio and Seth's apartment building I was greeted by Seth's sister and two others. Seth's sister, who was way out of character, was wearing a skimpy ninja outfit. She took a look and my clipboard and then I darted off.

I ran straight into the apartment building, up two flights, skidded around the top step into a living room, and startled Seth who had been nodding of in his armchair watching TV.

I have the feeling that they are the same dream, but don't remember how they connect.

One was-
I saw my roommate Br (who in real life is a black belt, but I have never seen her fight or anything) was in a sparing match with someone. The guy seemed to think that he could win, but when they started fighting it was clear she had the upper hand. She began to attack with graceful and inventive attacks involving flipping and rolling. I had a sort of Mortal Kombat view point and thoroughly enjoyed watching her kick some random guys ass.

The other was considerably longer-
Tons of people (some I knew, some I didn't) were being sort of filtered into one room. It was a sort of competition to get a job. (I think this originates from current budget cuts at my school). People came in small groups and it was announced the job that they would get if they won. They stepped into the arena and either played some sort of video game or had some kind of fight to the death match with what seemed similar to NERF guns.
One of my roommates S was randomly there and she did not really know what she was doing there. I suggest to her to go for the job I have so we could work together, she agrees.
I end up almost facilitating the event since I am the only student worker left (Budget cuts in real life again! ) the game starts and a bit into it I realize that she can't have that job, because she does not got to my school. I yell this to her, and she ceases to care about the game and just goes through the motions since she can't win.

(from years ago)
(I could feel everything)

I was late for history class and was running to try and make it. I open the door to see that everyone is there and the classroom is different. The right side is the room is a normal almost cliche looking classroom setting, but starting a little right of the middle of the room a circular section of the classroom was replaced with water that extended into a vast ocean on the right. In the distance (still close enough to see clearly) there were a row of large arcs facing toward the classroom.

My first thought is: "Crap I didn't study!" (apparently an arc with oceans is some kind of exam XD)
It is my turn to "take the exam" only there are a bunch of steps I have to go through first in order to complete it.
I am partnered with a random kid from class, and the first think we have to do is attack each other with a series of kung fu moves while underwater. (I assume this was part of not studying since I did not know what they were or what the objective was). Whoever had the edge would get a head start to the arc, and the object of the "exam" was to blow up the arc before the opponent.

The teacher sees I do not know what I am doing and sighs. He begins to explain the kung fu moves again, but briefly. I feel confident that I understand. Their are 3-5 strikes in all (I can specifically remember) the last one being an upper cut, bringing both players to the surface. I stand their waiting for it to start, and as soon as it does he hits me with all the strikes in quick succession before I can even swing my arm and find my self floating with swirly eyes on the surface of the water as he swims toward the arcs.

I get my equilibrium back and swim slowly for the arcs. I figure he has a head start anyway so why hurry and get myself tired. I get to the arc and rest my hand on it. This is the point I realize "Hey, I'm dreaming. I don't need to do anything special to blow up this arc if I want. I can just punch it and it will blow!" When my arms was fully cocked and ready to release a huge punch, I forgot I was dreaming and punched the boat with my ineffective assault. It hurt: "Ouch! Why would I do that. Why would I punch a boat?!" (This was funny when I woke up for real XD) Now that the fact it is a dream is forgotten I move on. I see there is a ladder to my left and climbed to the deck.

At first all I see is my face in shock, then I get a look at the deck and it is covered with different kinds of guns. I realized that my opponent had about a 10min head start and was probably decked out with guns right at that moment. I looks around but did not see where he was. I reached down slowly to grab on of the guns, and a bullet shot right through my fore arm. I fell to the ground to avoid getting shot more and grabbed a gun per hand. He was suddenly dressed like Neo from the Matrix practically and as I had predicted, armed with tons of guns.

We exchanged heavy fire. I was shot 6 times in all (right forearm, left side, right calf, right shoulder area, left thigh, and another place I don't remember) and I got him twice before he fell back below deck. He might have thought I was dead, or would die, but I was not sure.

I followed him down a ladder into the ship, but he had already gone into a different room. In the room is a bed with sheets and a blanket and a table covered with teddy bears. I was confused and walked toward the table. I heard a rustling in the other room, so I darted under the bed, and peered out from underneath the hanging sheets. He came out of the door and up to where the teddy bears were. He opened one up and I could see that it was filled with C4. I was shocked that he would be cheating so epically and decided to try and trap him with his own trap. I came out from under the bed quietly and began to ascend the ladder, he heard my footsteps and tried to grab me to keep me in the ship. I kicked him down off the ladder and climbed onto the deck. I shut the top and ran into a leap off the ship into the ocean. I landed with a big splash, and felt the pain of salt water in my wounds. I heard the ship about to blow, and began to swim for my life. It blew. The explosion become a extending golden sphere that was growing fast. I was getting tired. I finally was so exhausted that I just curled up in a ball for protection under the water and hoped for the best. The explosion creeped up to an inch or so away from me before it receded.

I swam to the pier where my friends helped me out of the water.

After I woke up every place I had been shot was a large dense muscle cramp and I had to get in a hot shower to ease the pain. It was worth it though because I passed my exam as far as I know XD

I dreamed I could turn into a stone ghost kind of thing. So I sneaked into a castle to save a princess. I had two people traveling with me. A boy and a girl. The girl was a kung-fu master and the guy was a grapple hook user. So we rescued the princess and she turned evil. The girl I was travelling with trained her soldiers advanced martial arts. All of a sudden the castle sunk into a sinkhole, and water poured into the castle. Then I awoke.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

The Karate Claus

This is my first DJ entry and the first dream I've remembered in a long time. My dream recall was pretty poor so I don't quite know how what I remembered came about within the dream. Also of note is the fact that it seemed a lot of it it was in third person. I have a hunch that the majority of my dreams are.

I was learning kung fu and was at a reasonable level(I knew this in the dream i never actually saw myself train in it) and was at the post office with my wife. I think we must have been talking about me, because I remember thinking that it was hurtful that she said her and her family thought I was weak; I wanted to disagree but for some reason didn't. It was then I noticed that I was wearing a Santa costume complete with jingly-jangly bells. Just as I noticed this a bear came charging up to the window and for some reason i had to fight it. Just as I went outside to start wrestling this bear I woke up

★★★

nomad's apartment

All i remember was being outside an apartment building and remembering that Nomad lived there. I was walking around and doing something i forget.

fight.

Brief dream where I'm outside some buildings. theres a young boy and a man there. for some reason i don't like the man. We somehow get in a small fight. I try to hurt him but the restrain myself from doing so.

Basement

I'm in a basement. My room is all messy and there's clothes all over the floor. I go into another rooma nd it's filled with some construction guys. they seem rather rowdy and I don't like them.

Later i am looking at a japanese newspaper. I flip through the pages and see a colour at. The title says "MoSh Moon". i see a picture of manga. In it i see a cartoon version of myself sitting on a couch at night time. beside me is a Rico suave dude. Beside him is Asuka, who's smiling. In the picture i Look unhappy, my head is reasting on my one hand and I look sad.

Kung fu

Vague dream of going through section 7 of the tiger and crane kung fu set. This is the section with crane beaks. I remember doing a series of movements and then switching the movements with the opposite sides of my body. making pecking motions with my hands.
