Non-lucid | Lucid | Extra notes

Since my latest DJ post, I've started putting on earplugs at night and I also have taken the habit of opening my window to get some fresh air and thus avoid to wake up in the middle of my sleep sweating a lot.

Dream fragment 1: I'm unsure I even dreamed about this but I feel it's important to note it down. It was a short vision of an empty-town road, in a mixed Thai-Italian architecture style. There were little shops with their displays (some wooden tables topped with wooden boxes) on both sides of the road (which in itself was pretty wide; you could easily drive a car there). All of those shops were aligned and continued all the way down the road, and there were some square-ish buildings behind them. Though, there was literally noone and the displays were empty.

Dream fragment 2: A little bit of background is required to understand this. I'm part of a gaming clan playing on a rather realistic game where we often plan out house breaches & raids. We have a helicopter support unit (TAU) which I've helped with some old paperwork yesterday. None of my real-life friends are in this clan.
In this dream fragment, I saw myself in a history lesson in our usual classroom. People in the room were gathered in groups to do some work (which is something we always do in French lessons). We set the tables in a way that they'd form squares of tables. Then I saw two friends of mine, A and C, asking me whether I had seen the TAU "activity checks"; I told them I had not, as I was not a part of TAU. They told me they talked about me in a positive way in those checks even though I have nothing to do with TAU (besides that paperwork). So I stood up, turned towards another real-life mate which I called by a TAU officer's in-game name (D. L.) and asked him if he had read the checks. He hadn't. (Side note: as I turned the tables were in their normal organization, spread across either sides of the classroom in a straight line). Then I looked towards the window to find my two good friends A and C (the same as in A stressful night... - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views) and asked them once again. They answered they had not seen the TAU activity checks yet. I assume the dream then ended.

Dream fragment 3: This time, I was having a maths lesson in the classroom that is normally used for German lessons. I was sitted in the middle-back of the room and we started doing an exercise, that was to complete individually. Now I consider myself a pretty good student in maths due to my marks, but for some reason I badly struggled and could barely read, let alone understand the exercise. I was frowning my eyebrows while I had my gaze locked onto the exercise book. My maths teacher, which I've had for three years so far, walked up to me and told me that it wasn't such a big problem I was... dyslexic. I was surprised at first then she kept on talking about dyslexia and saying I should receive help but that I shouldn't fear failing. I was feeling really bad and sort of misunderstood. Unfortunately, I can't recall anymore of this dream.

Dream 4: THE longest dream I had. It might have spread over 2 REM cycles considering its length. At the beginning, I was supposed to show a few of my friends (four or five max) my apartment, and the dream started in the hallway of the building I live in. My friends following me, including A which came to my house with S and D this very Thursday to celebrate D's birthday at lunch. We headed to the lift and stepped in, and found ourselves on the landing of my apartment. Then, the dream sort of returned back into time and I found myself in the lift with JC and another friend. My apartment's on the 6th floor of the building. This time, the lift interior was made of classy stainless steel but was a bit smaller than the real one; and its doors opened as we reached the first floor. I saw an immense hotel or conference center interior, which was extremely bright (lots of windows around the hotel, thus a lot of light came in), with what could have been a bar or a reception desk (it was basically a huge marble cylinder and there was a counter surrounding it in a circular way) to our far left, a dark and round marble pillar in front of us (although it was a bit in the background), and lots of shiny white light to our right. The hotel interior itself was circular and if I'm not mistaken, we could see a dome on our far upper left corner as we looked up, exclusively made of window panes which flooded the hotel with pure light. It was quite a magnificent sight. We also saw a few people in front of the lift exit, doing their business, really. Then the lift doors closed and we went up to the second floor; once again, the doors opened and we could see the same interior but a man in his late forties or early fifties (tall, approx. 1m90, with a bit of grey short hair), who was wearing a suit and a nice, black coat that stopped at his knees. He entered the lift and smiled at us, but I do not remember seeing him any longer. We finally reached the third floor and the lift stopped in the middle of an apartment entrance, the said apartment being very dark as there was no light at all. There was a path leading right ahead on our left and a couple of stairs on our right, with a huge wall/closet (similar to the one in my dentist's office) separating those two ways. We went for the stairs and we saw a little table on our left with a mom and her kid; she was taking care of him. There also was a kitchen. And again there was a right turn leading to a bedroom but I can't remember its looks, although I'm almost sure it wasn't mine. From there on we walked back to the kitchen and surprisingly, around ten people had joined. Everyone was celebrating... a snail's birthday! There was a mini rectangular shaped cake with two blades of grasses on its both extremities. I started cheering up just as everyone else in the room and the mini-snail (it was nowhere near the size of a real one) crawled onto the top of the cake and started eating the grass. Suddenly, a similar second snail came and helped the first one to finish the remaining blade of grass. All of that was pretty funny and I remember laughing. BREAK!

Once again - back into my hallway. But this time... there were at least 40 persons! My friends, a couple of adults, and LOTS of elementary school children who were wearing dark blue smocks. I was kind of overwhelmed but I still realized I had to make them visit my apartment; so I opened up the door that led to the lift with my key and pretty much everyone started flooding in this little bit of space in front of the lift exit. I started thinking that our lift could only handle 8-9 persons at a time so I told other people to wait for their turns but I went up first - and if I remember correctly there only were my friends with me. At this point the lift didn't stop as it was climbing but I felt it went higher than the last time; everything around me was sort of white and blurry. It eventually dropped us in the same interior and I quickly walked up to the bedroom (the same one). I widened my eyes... because I honestly had no idea why the bedroom looked like that. It was filled with gigantic bookcases containing tons of old yet beautiful books (those magic spells books you see in Harry Potter). The bookcases were organized in a trail, which went from the right of my room to the left whilst leaving a space in the middle. The floor was a wooden parquet that looked brownish and rusty. The only light in the room was an extremely dim light but I managed to spot a double-decker bed, the upper couch having two, seemingly comfortable, black and red pillows. Those pillows were laid against the wooden border of the bed. At first sight, my hands grasped onto my hair as I thought; "What's this? They're not supposed to see that...".
The dream ended there.

This means normal dream
This means lucid dream
This means I'm loosing my lucidity
This means non-dream notes
-----

Okay, so it started out as me walking into the house, (my grandma's actually), and my mom was sitting on the loveseat talking to my boyfriend on videochat on my old phone. While I didn't think it odd that my mom was there though she no longer lives with me, or that my phone doesn't have a video camera or internet, or that my BF would be conversing with my mom at all, I accepted it. I was in my swimsuit and it was a bright summer outside as my sisters played in our nonexistant pool. My hair was fluffy though, and longer than it is in real life, so I must not have been swimming. Anyway my mom hands the phone to me and my BF and I start to talk like we do any other day, me playing around with the camera angles and making myself look upside down.

Then, my Bf's sister and her two little kids interrupted our conversation by barging in and the littlest kid blowing a party streamer in my bf's face. He looked annoyed and proceeded to chase his sister out of the room, leaving the two kids. I looked around awkwardly, suddenly realizing that I was in his room and not at my house. His laptop was still sitting on his desk (very odd, he NEVER uses a desk) and the skype window was open, but I was not there. His room was largely devoid furiture, with blue walls, white trim and light hardwood floors. There was the desk, a closet and an air mattress. Thinking back, it seems to resemble a cross between my sister's old room and my dad's new room, only cross sectioned into a new home. Looking down, I was still alone with my Bf's wide-eyed niece and nephew. So, I decided to play with them like I do most kids of their age, I pretended to be a dog. They enjoyed seeing me barking and walking on all fours, play bowing for them to throw balls for me that I brought back by nudging with my knuckles, unwilling to put anything in my mouth touched by a toddler. When my BF and his sister returned they seemed unconcerned by my presence. I stood up and when I looked to the web camera on the open laptop I was transparent and outlined by a black dotted line. Then, my color started to fill in and everyone else started to acknowledge me.

new dream
---

I do not remember how I got there or why, but me and my boyfriend were apparently in the wedding ceremony for some friend or relative of one of our families. The groom was wearing a superman costume and the wife, a tan indian woman, was in a muddy wedding gown. The entire wedding ceremony was on a large staircase and it was not bad by superman standards.

My bf pulled me aside and started to yell at me, I yelled at him back and we were just plain mad for some reason. I told him that he couldn't be mad at me because I loved him and I had even had a dream about him just an hour ago (a reference to my dream previous). He said something along the lines of "well, you sure as hell weren't fucking me in that dream. now were you?" and we both bitterly continued to be our parts in the ceremony.
----

it is to my conclusion that the last dream is my fear of ever getting to the point of marring my boyfriend because I am asexual and he is heterosexual. I could never give him what he needs, no matter how much I love him.

This is a non-lucid dream I had this night, little weird though, because it was involved with one of my dream signs (getting in trouble) though I didn't get lucid.


I was walking with my friend mike on a popular city square where we stopped to buy a bottle of water. Then we moved to another place, when suddenly we appeared on a bicycle, me driving.

We were in a really wide, populated but dark street at about 21:00 and we were going down with my bicycle. On my right side, there were cops with motorcycles hanging around and on the left side of the street there were too many motorcycles parked but not in order, messed up, screwed up and like a big pile of trash.

Suddenly, I stepped on a dropped motorcycle's right mirror with my bicycle and broke it. I tried to get away, but the cops just told me to stop because this man (a huge fat man in the corner of the street) wanted to talk to me. He started swearing and yelling at us for breaking his mirror and threatened us. This yelling thing kept on and on for at least 4 minutes. Told us to call our parents to pay for it now, and that it costs 100 euros. Also, for no apparent reason he kept asking for a photocopy of my passport. He kept yelling and told us that "life is math, never forget that!". Dafuq?

For no obvious reason, we thought that the house on the corner where he was at the time yelling at us, is his own. I even remember the address, Sophocleus 7. So we told him we'll just come tommorow and pay for his mirror, so we gave him false information or something, and he let us go. As we were going, the cops stopped us again and told us that when we bought those bottles before, we didn't ask for a receipt. Then I asked them if that was illegal, knowing that it isn't and told them it's the shopkeeper's responsibillity to give us one. So they let us go too. After that there was a...

[Tiny Little Dream Skip]

And suddenly, as I now realise, it's day again, a bright really wonderful sunny day, maybe about 15:00 to 16:00 where two more friends from my school, a boy and a girl I know, suddenly appear. We were entering a little van, I entered first from the back left door, but slided to the right seat. Then my two friends, a girl and mike from the previous bike incident entered the two front seats and mike sat on the driving seat. Another friend joined me on the left seat of the van next to me. I had noticed the seat he sat on was wet, but I didn't tell him, not sure why. He sat on and he didn't notice. So there was four of us. Me, mike, and the two newly appeared friends. For the record, we all appeared to have entered from the same door!

When suddenly as mike starts driving, all three of them start singing a national march of greece, usually played at national parades. I wasn't aware of what this was until I woke up, so I asked them:

-Guys, what's that you're singing?
and the one next to me says:
-Dude, don't you know? It's CIA's hymn!
and me, without much thought, told them:
-No guys, no way, that's not CIA's hymn, THIS is CIA's hymn!
and I started singing USA's national anthem, star spangled banner, being totally sure it was CIA's hymn!
Then the same guy tells me:
- No dude you can't know the real CIA's hymn, its ultra top secret! We were just joking before!



And that's where every further memory of my dream seizes to exist and I soon wake up. Pretty good little dream, very vivid and fun. Wasn't lucid though... Finally, I found out that there's no such thing as CIA's hymn after all. Woke up laughing and almost woke my family up!

These are parts of a non lcid dream of mine which occured before my successful WILD attempt I'll write about later. My recall has been so poor lately after I stopped keeping a DJ, but I'll try to fix that from now on.

Anyway, I was sometime in my dream arguing with my mother about something really loud and I can't remember what it was. Aaaand thats it, then there is a....


[Dream Skip]



Then I find myself with a friend, could be a momentary DC, but it seemed like a friend in my dream. Watching videos in the net in front of my computer and we see look at some titles and he says "Look, there's a good one! This guy is trying to prank a woman nad he dies by accident!" and I was like, how could that happen? And then I said "cool, let's watch it".


So there is a video where a man meets a woman he knows, not a random one, in a field of grass for no apparent in front of a big city, like New York, and says to her things like "Hey there, what's up? How are you lately?" and she regularly answers, until she pulls out a cigarrete to smoke and lights it up. Then it may be the part where the prank began and I was curious to see how he died, so he pulls the cigarette from her mouth and then my WBTB alarm goes off, 4:00 am. Time to WILD. Believe me or not, this is how it happened, I was too curious to find out what the hell happened in the imaginary video, but my alarm screwed me up. Anyways, it had a purpose!

brb with my WILD post

I am in my room when a knock at the backdoor is heard.
I get up and head out to investigate along
with my mother right behind me.
Nobody is at the back but on the deck is a huge flatscreen t.v.
I get excited because I really want to play my playstation on it
but my mom picks it up and walks back into the house with it.
I am orbiting around her trying to get her to let me use the t.v.
She then says I can use it and I jump for joy
but then she says that I can use it after she gets home from work.
My spirits drop as she leaves for work and
I just sit staring at the t.v until the dream ends.

I am riding in a white van, even though I was looking at if from the outside,
I knew that I was in it because I could feel my body in the seat.
It is night time and we are riding on the highway. On the way, we reach our exit and it
happens to be a sharp drop that curves like a twister. We start down it
and I receive that twisting feeling in my gut that happens when
I ride roller coasters. I become uneasy, and start to get a litt ebit scared, until
finally we reach the end and as soon as we do the dream skips.
Now I am looking through my body and it is a still scene
as if i'm looking at a picture. It is night, the moon is shining,
there is a fruity drink with a fruit lodged on the edge and all
I can see of my lower body is a silouhete. The dream skips again.
This time I am back in the white van looking from above and now
we are heading back up the twisting road and the feeling from when
we were going down creeps its way back into my gut.

I am at school with members from the band, only were more on the outskirts of school
in a forest at night. We are busy going off completing tasks in what I beleive to be a dream.
After we complete another tasks we are off to complete another.
When we finish completing tasks, a couple of people on motorcycles come to give us a ride back to the school.
We all get on a motorcycle and head off.
The dream skips.
I am standing in front of the school, near a black van. My friend C is inside and she hands me a pink slip
which is like a dreaming certificate or something simillar. She then tells me that she
has ran out of pink slips and that our band teacher was on vacation
and could not create anymore.

Finally decided to start writing down dreams on this site. I've just recently decided to attempt lucid dreaming again (I've got pages of dreams from 2011, starting again)

It's my Birthday, and a troop of little kids are leading me to a room. it seems to be my old room, with small tables on the back right corner. The tables are littered with random junk, and two giant presents: one plain box, and a giant cup or something. The kids keep telling me to open them, but I'm refusing to do so. Eventually, I give in and open the cup. There's nothing in it, thanks a lot. I turn over to the second one and open it. Inside is a yellow box, and in that are Lego toys.
"Aww Mom, I don't like these anymore!"
One of them happens to be a knock-off toy, which used to be a part of recurring dreams a long time ago. etc etc

Next, I'm in a music class for trombones (I play the trumpet btw, never played the trombone.) We all walk into a room and line up at the wall. I hold up my trombone and see what it feels like holding it up. The slide is a little sticky though. I also worry that the back of the instrument will hit the wall seeing that we're against it, but it doesn't. Eventually, the music teacher tells me to hold my trombone the right way, and I look over to my classmates. The others are standing at attention with their trombones folded up (?). I then fold up my trombone as well and follow suit.

Next, I'm playing some game where a bunch of people have to fight one boss. It starts out as all of us in a cave trying to fight this guy, and I keep dying since I always go up close to him. Eventually it turns out I'm playing TF2, and if you know the game, we're playing the Saxton Hale mod I'm assuming. The map has a tower in the center with a spiral ramp going to the top and the boss always seems to be right there. Buildings surround the tower, completing the map. In the game, it seems that players can call in help, such as crit rockets coming in from the buildings directly at the tower.

I start out as Scout, but when I look down at the buildings I see a whole clump of medics all jumping around. I realize that they're all setting up a plan to take down the boss by gathering lots of ubercharges. I then join them - switching to a medic, replacing my Vintage Kritzkrieg to a Quick - Fix (weapons).
Eventually, we all swarm up the ramp to the top of the tower where the boss is waiting, and we all start healing ancd ubercharging this single Huntsman Sniper who is standing right beside the boss with his bow drawn. Before I know it we are all jumping around down the ramp and celebrating, I'm assuming we won the fight.

Weird how I dream about old toys and games I haven't played in a while.
By the way, I remembered the trombone dream while taking a shit and thinking about instruments.

$70 champagne (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Still can't recall full dreams only fragments, so I'll keep journaling hoping that eventually my dream recall gets better.

I slept at about 11 pm and woke up at 12.30. I don't remember any dreams, although I know there was something there. Next I woke up at 2.50 and tried to recall my dream. Managed to remember this bit.

I was in a hotel with hubby and we had a bottle of champagne (could have been a third person as well, but i'm not sure). I went up to the room to pack when I heard a whrring noise like a fax. Checked what it was and it came from a billing machine of sorts. I ripped the paper from the machine and it showed champagne $70 plus something small total $80 for "hubby and the little witch". Hm...that was me I guess.

I took it with me to go down and show it to hubby and when I exited the room i saw two girls on the hall. I went after one of them thinking that she goes to the lift and entered through the door just before it was closing. Noticed that it was a room and not the lift/elevator as I suspected so I said 'sorry' and left.

Next I woke up was 6.30 and I remembered this small weird bit.

There was a village or a place with lots of people. I met a little girl who really liked me. Even though the adults didn't really like me, I was happy that she took to me as I had an ally.

Next I know there is something black flying low above us (sort of like a zeppellin but more of a rectangle shape) with windows. It was kind of creepy and although I didn't touch it, I knew that the material was not metal like real planes but more like leather or similar. People were looking down on us (not sure who I was with). I was really glad that the little girl liked me as the others semed to be almost hostile towards us.

Next I remember (part of the same dream, not quite sure) I gave to some guy my email address to buy something for me, but then I was not very comfortable about it so I sent him an email to ignore this email address as I will change it pretty soon.

At some point I was down in the car garage with my dad and he was taking something (I think petrol/gas) from that guy's car as borrowing. For some reason it was very ok to do that. The guy came down and my dad told him that he was only borrowing some petrol. The guy said it's ok. Then I asked him if he got my email about the email address (now it does seem a bit silly to email about an email address) and he said yes, but it's ok because it won't be happening very soon anyway, there is time.

I've been reading the basic LD course by OpheliaBlue and was thinking about my dream signs and recurring themes are little girls, my family (I'm living in another country so I can only see them for real once a year when I fly down to them) and chocolate.

Waking Thoughts/Dream/Lucid

I had several dreams last night, but only one seemed to make enough sense to write down. I forgot to write down the time, but as usual it was very early morning. I would guess around 04:00 to 06:00.

I was once again in an area that seemed to resemble where I work. Only this time the building I was currently in was absolutely huge and convoluted. It seemed to have multiple buildings put into one. There was a Wal-Mart, movie theater, hospital, and a school all in one package. The strange thing is that some parts felt like they came from past dreams; it was one big hodgepodge. Anyway, I was talking with a manager about another employee who was asked to get a few things. We will refer to this coworker as 'M'. M had come back with nothing and made no further attempt to retrieve the items in question. Being a friend however, I did not really get mad, but I was asked to find the things myself. I am pretty sure I was given a list of things with a map of some sort, but I cannot seem to remember what was on it. Walking around, I come across the different parts of the building. My first stop being a back room type area for the hospital wing. For some reason there were a lot of cramped halls, even in the actual main hallways. For some reason, I had to sneak around and act as if I work in that area to get by without raising alarm. Eventually I make my way to the theater, completely forgetting about the 'scavenger hunt'. The theater was large and had two podium like platforms on either side of where the audience sits. I was not sure what was playing, but I recall sitting in the podium and watching the film. The dream then ends shortly afterwards. Looking back, the main color I remember seeing are shades of red.

Now that I look back at these dreams, a recurring setting seems to be where I work. Maybe I will try to incorporate more RC's and practice ADA while working.

Waking Thoughts/Dream/Lucid

Before bed, I really concentrated on a mantra, " I will wake up after every dream, and remember it with clarity." This has worked well in the past when I first started to try lucid dreaming, and seems to have worked again. I remember I did wake up more than twice, but did not write down anything other than two vivid dreams.

There was a timer. Quietly counting down day by day. Anybody who came across it really did not know what it means. For as long as they can remember, or so a random dream character told me, this terraformed moon is all they have known. I look up into the sky and can see Earth. But it looks strange. Almost dead. The dream character was telling me that this was an old government project. Sending people to the moon to terraform it that is. As to why they needed it livable was beyond me, but I have a feeling that something bad happened. Looking out at the horizon, I can see a brilliant fiery sunset. The dream begins to fade as I wake up in my bed around 03:42. I quickly jot down what I have seen and heard. That dream was fairly short, but extremely vivid.

I go back to sleep and wake up around 07:40ish. Another quick, pointless work dream. Nothing really exciting to post here, but I need to post as much as possible.
My bro and I are at work. We are headed out to where our manager needs us. It's outside by a bunch of makeshift storage areas. Things do look a bit bigger though. Like higher stacked shelves and a almost two story building. The only thing remarkable is a song I was letting my brother listen to. Can't remember what it was though.

Waking Thoughts/Dream/ Lucid

So it's another off day for me. I sorta stayed up too late and threw off my sleep schedule a bit. Not a lot recalled and got a bit lazy this morning and did not write much down. I'll fix that tomorrow.

I am in some sort of car lot with a few empty car shops scattered about. Not too sure what happened, but I recall complaining that we were not selling something... All I managed to write down last night at about 04:40 was: "Car lot and not sell cars?" Yeah, not a lot to go off of.

Later in the morning I am at a horse stable. Which in of itself is strange since I NEVER see any horses. I recall getting on one and riding it around for a little bit before waking up. Yeah, not the most eventful dreams. Tomorrow should be better since I will get back on my regular sleep schedule. Since I have been working on my recall, I was thinking it's about time to work on getting lucid. Will type more later.

Seems my recall is getting better. Tonight I managed to recall 4 different dreams.

The first one was a bit short, but strange. I was at work doing normal things... Sorta. I recall I had some sort of mecha that assisted me in adjusting many prices and labels quickly. I pass by another employee who I have never seen before. She just gave me a look like, "This day needs to be over, now." Returning a gesture, we go on our way. Right before the dream collapses, I hear what sounded like almost like my dad calling my name. It was clear and somewhat loud. The dream ends and I am wide awake at around 03:40.

The next dream is a bit harder to recall all of the details. The main idea is a few friends and myself are in some sort of zombie apocalypse area, but feels like some sort of survival game. Lots of platforms and other such useless obstacles. I recall that something happens and my friend and I find ourselves in a pit with thousands of them. They pretty much leave me alone, but go after the other guy instead. Running to try to help out however I can (we are dead anyway), the zombies all stop. Circled around us, the leaders of the undead army are speaking with us. They have a ancient Egyptian ruler look to them. I don't quite remember what they said, but due to the death of someone living, they needed someone who is alive to rule the army, else they cease to exist. Looking at me, something happens, bright lights blind me, and proclaim me as ruler. At this point, the dream ends gradually.

The next dream my brother and I are at some undisclosed location. It feels like a school, but is like an apartment complex. I really have no clue what the place is. Red brick seemed to be the common theme. Not much happens as the place is still under construction, but eventually a bunch of people are carrying my bro towards the entrance. He does not look good. They say he ate something, and suddenly cant move. The dream implies an ambulance took him to the hospital, and he recovers. Not long after that, my cat did the same thing! Very weird, so I decide to take him to the vet. Though this proves troublesome as we had a hard time keeping him in the vehicle. Which is weird since he should not have been able to move. The dream ends around this time.

The last one not too much happens. I am heading to a relatives house, but decide to get some food before hand. I pick up some popcorn chicken from a generic chicken joint, but still manage to get a chicken sandwich. I get there and my parents are there as well. Not too eventful as it's just normal conversations that I can't recall.

The dream began with normal stuff at work that I can't quite remember. Obviously it was not all that exciting. Later that night, my father took my brother an I to Sonic (the fast food restaurant) to get some chocolate malts.

Successful DEILD

1) I’ m at a zip lining place with my sisters and there are three difficulties. There is a small body of water and the zip lines zigzag across it. They are only about one-and-a-half body lengths above the water and they are made up of one very long zip line which is hooked on to pieces of the rocky wall surrounding the water to make the zigzag pattern. We are at the side of the easiest one and I complete it with ease. As I approach the end of the first line I quickly pull the pulley up somehow and land it on the next line. As I reach the end of the medium difficulty zip line I prepare to jump the device to the hard difficulty zip line, but I start swinging wildly as I approach it. I decide not to let go and the pulley slides back to the beginning of the medium difficulty zip line. I try to regain my balance in order to try again. When I reach the wall I try to kick off and keep my momentum straight forward. I swing wildly again as I approach the hard zip line and slide back to the beginning once more. After failing twice, I decide that I need to jump diagonally towards a ledge that is next to the hard difficulty zip line. I reach the start once more, kick off as hard as I can, and slide quickly toward the ledge. I let go of the pulley and leap off the zip line hoping that I will have enough momentum to carry me to the ledge. I reach out, but I am not able to grab the ledge. Instead, I end up on a huge blue bucket with no lid which stands in the water next to another bucket. I have a firm grip since my elbows are hooked over the edge, but the tall bucket begins to lose balance and I’m sure I will fall. I hear my sister say something along the lines of “Aw! Well, falling in the water doesn’t mean you lose”. Then, I try to shift my weight upwards and bring my arms further into the bucket and, miraculously, it regains balance and I’m able to climb up on the rocky ledge with some difficulty (I kind of wanted to try the hard zip line though).

DEILD
I am slightly awake in real life, but I am very sleepy since I had woken up in the middle of the night. I was probably half asleep because I don’t remember any real life images since I probably never opened my eyes. Somehow I was still able to think clearly and I seized the opportunity to attempt to imagine a dream scene, though I didn’t think about the fact that I was DEILDing. I didn’t have any specific dream scene in mind but I just told myself over and over to imagine a lucid dream scene. Almost immediately, the dream starts to fade in and I am fully lucid.

2) I see Bobby Lee as a realtor next to a doorway leading to a room in a house. He is in a light yellow buttoned shirt which has blurry white lines mixed into it tucked into what I believe are whitish-yellow pants secured with a brown belt. Somehow, I get the feeling that he knows I’m lucid. Though I was fully lucid, I could still feel the slightest bit of consciousness. I believed Bobby was telling me to go along with the dream story so that I could be fully enveloped in the dream and still remain lucid. He tells me to try to sell the house to two people and beckons me inside the room. I walk inside and describe the room to the old Asian couple as they looked around. To maintain lucidity, I said or did something while looking out a window to my right. Bobby peeked through the doorway and told me to describe it some more and I obliged. After doing this I was confident I was fully asleep and would not wake up so I looked out the window and prepared to find my dream object. Through the window, countless things were going on. Though there was a small field of vision, I could somehow see a zoo, a hangar (There are two hangars outside of my neighborhood in real life), tanks, school buses and trucks driving next to the tanks, futuristic planes in the sky, and roads with bustling cars everywhere. There was so much going on, yet I didn’t feel any sense of chaos. I yelled out, “I want to be guided or led to my dream object” (This is explained in the dream notes in section 2). Suddenly, I see a small object fall from the sky. It travels through the window next to the one I was looking through and landed in my room (The room in the house became my real room at this point). I pick up the object excited to see what it would be. I look at it and I become immensely disappointed. It is some kind of orange/black band made of rubber with a small screen. It almost looks like a watch or a pedometer, but the band looks like it’s meant to go around a finger (To put it into perspective, imagine a tiger printed watch meant to go around your finger instead of your wrist. Don’t imagine too many lines, though. The face of the device was mostly orange and there were a few waves of black on the edges). I knew the device wasn’t a watch or pedometer and I was hoping that my dream object would be something I could easily find in real life. I called out again saying something like, “C’mon! Give me another one!” hoping for a better result. Something else flew down and I picked it up. It was the same object and I became annoyed. I walked back to the window and, for some reason, said that I wanted something more sophisticated (What an odd word choice. I think I meant to say “meaningful”). I saw something fly past my vision to the other window. I walked back and picked up the object. It was a square version of the original object. I looked on the back to see what it was. There were letters carved out of the rubber, and since they were the same color and material as the device itself, they were a little hard to read. I see the word “yoyo” and a few other letters after it which I could not make out. I concluded that the device was meant to be attached to a Yoyo and could somehow count or judge the Yoyo tricks while you played with one. I looked out the window at all the commotion and asked what my big dream object was. I thought that you only had one dream object, but I decided it was worth a shot and that if I had a big object that I could take a picture of in real life, it would be better than nothing at all. Letters were shown in the road below. I don’t remember what they said, but after reading them I looked up towards the area where there were tanks and buses. I remember thinking it was one of those and I think I asked if it was a school bus (I may have said something else). The word “ZOO” appeared on the road and I looked at the zoo. My sister was next to me all of a sudden and told me I was looking at the wrong place and that I was supposed to look at a car near the zoo. Suddenly, I was in one of the bustling cars on the road and there was no roof or window (I was probably in a convertible). I looked at the road and I think I asked for a hint. A text appeared on the road and, though we were moving fast, the text remained in the same relative position to me. There was a transparent image of a car top sign with a moving LED text on it that said “NO TRESPASSING” and I assumed it meant that was my dream object was a car that had those words on it. For some strange reason, I thought of a Toyota. I asked my sister what type of Toyota had that and if a Corolla was the right answer. She said she didn’t know, so I decided to just guess all the Toyota cars I could until I found the right one. I looked down at the road and asked if it was a Toyota Corolla and a text appeared that said “WILD GUESSES” or something with the word “GUESS” or a form of it in the text. I got the sense that I was being told that I wasn’t supposed to randomly guess to find out and that my dream guide had nothing else to say to me for the time being. My dream faded out around this time.

Dream Notes:

2) I watched a video by ReeceJones87 on YouTube about dream bridging. In the video he said that to find a dream object someone is supposed to say "I want to be guided or led to my dream object" while lucid. He also said that your dream object could be big or small and that if it is too big or does not belong to you then you can take a picture of it instead of taking it with you. In my dream I was disappointed with the same object so I decided to ask for a bigger one in order to get a different result.
