The following was typed up as soon as I woke so I'd remember the details. Before I paste it in here, I should point out that I am a female with no desire for a sex change lol. I also don't have any kids and I'm no longer married. I lived in the future at a time when robotics were used to control almost everything. I was physically enhanced by them myself with extra strength, speed, hearing, and something which made it impossible for me to drown which will be significant in a moment. Everyone was connected to an internet type thing via an implant in their head as well. In this dream I was a man, and my wife and 3 daughters were at this beach place. It was a river with a fake beach added, like what actually exists near me. However at the end of the river there was this tunnel where all the water was drained. I don't know where to. I cant remember what but I had to do something so I told the kids to stay in the beach area and walked away. Somewhere during this, two of the kids, the youngest and the oldest, got swept away. I dove in after them. They were getting beaten up by the rocks and things on the path. I caught the youngest, but she was already beaten to near death. I tried to get to the oldest too but she was pulled into the drain. I jumped out of the river up onto the high banks. The child was screaming in pain and I could feel her vertebrae in the wrong positions. Some were sticking out and her bones all were badly placed but not protruding through the skin. I shut off the pain center of her brain somehow using the implants, and she immediately fell into a coma-like sleep. After I got her to shore I left her with her mother and returned. I was going to hunt for the other child, but she was gone. I was also sure the one I saved would die because she had a previous illness that had only been recently gotten over. I do not know what it was, but it was something she was born with that had been expected to be fatal. I don't know what made me go looking for clues about what happened to her previously. I honestly have no idea why I went searching for this. But I then decided to find out more about her past. I went looking in this old trailer park we had once lived in. I think in the very early beginning I might have been here as myself. Anyway I found out she spent a lot of time with this neighbor named Jamal, so I went to see him. Through a sort of memory sharing process I learned that he had been abusing the girl. He was laughing while he shared this. I don't recall the actual fight but I remember I left his body essentially crumpled into a ball on the floor. Then I left and suddenly I was a girl again. I was riding a bike in my nightgown when I passed this factory where implants were added to people. I pulled in and I was a guy again as I walked in. Around me were in the tens of students getting implants. I was looking into some extras to add to the ones I had. Somewhere in here I became aware or remembered that I had served 2 weeks of time in a freezing jail, like they froze you solid for however long your sentence was. I was still worried about police catching me for killing Jamal so I don't know what for or really when. I expected my daughters illness to make recovery impossible too so I was looking for something to help me to help her. I remember passing doors with labels on them each one telling what sort of implant you got in each room. I went in to get one, but I cant remember what they were. I ended up in the back of the place in almost a wilderness type area. At this point my memory of the dream starts falling apart. I remember there was fruit growing on bushes, and I remember being terrified she was going to die before I got back. Then I was talking to my wife and I told her I was going to search for the body of our other daughter who had died. I was heading for the river when I woke up. The third daughter was there only for a small bit at the beginning. After that she wasn't really mentioned anymore.
Dream - Lucid I was at my house in the playroom. I was looking at my left foot. I pushed the top middle of it, right under my middle toe, and it opened to show wires and mechanics; my foot was mechanical. (think Will Smith’s arm in I, Robot). Apparently, the reason I had a mechanical foot, was because Jason had one. I talked to him on the phone about it at some point. I don’t remember if it was through text or actually talking on the phone. I then remember talking to my mom about it. She was asking me if she was sure that was a good idea. And I kept backing it up saying it was a good idea. Jason did tell me that he had lost the feeling in his foot after awhile. I noticed that my mechanical foot wasn’t as sensitive as my real foot. I didn’t think it was a huge deal. ~ I was watching a movie about a female high school student who posed as a teacher. It was a comedy, kind of like Easy A or something. The girl had straight, short/medium length dark brown hair, and glasses. She had an accomplice, her friend, who was helping her cover it up. I kept seeing them get in the accomplice’s car and go places. I think she finally got caught. I then remember talking to my mom about the movie. I’m not sure where we were, but we were in a room somewhere. In the middle of talking to her, I had the realization that I was dreaming. I smiled, and looked at my mom and told her this was a dream, and I got the same look most DCs give me when I mention that. I ran past her. I examined my hands to keep the dream stable. I also yelled “Stabalize!”, which successfully stabilized my dream. I went by a dried up potted plant sitting on a counter. I touched the leaf and it felt so real and vivid. I love it when that happens. Then, I remember being upstairs. I was in a room that looked similar to the bonus room. I wanted to go somewhere else; to get out of the house and fly outside. I tried to tear up the ceiling, but only saw insulation. I then spotted a dark blue wall with I think yellow stars on it; it almost looked like it was wrapped in wrapping paper. I started to tear it up, trying to find something or somewhere new. It came off in big blocky chunks, and just looked the same underneath as it did on the surface. I woke up in sleep paralysis. I kept still and let it buzz until I went back into the dream. When my mind was sure I was dreaming, a voice in my head said “Action!” I then effortlessly floated from my body in my bed. I was then close to my body’s head, and looked down and saw my body. It was laying on its back, and its eyes were open wide; it looked so frightened. I gently stroked its head of messy hair. I felt compassion for the body lying there. I examined my hand to try to stabilize the dream, and it worked for a second, but I then lost it. Again, I woke up in sleep paralysis, and the same scenario repeated, and I again heard “Action!” I then was in a room. I wanted to fly, but it had been so long that it was proving to be difficult; I felt held down by gravity. I fought the heavy feeling in my legs, and took off through the ceiling and into this crazy cloud world. The hues of the clouds were grey and blue, and there were all these colorful floating structures; it reminded me of a Super Mario Galaxy world. I was a little unsure of the flying at first, but I then felt like I was riding a current, and it got so much easier. I rushed by all these crazy floating structures, some that were swinging back and forth. I was smiling and laughing, saying “I’m dreaming! I’m dreaming!!”
15th of February, I can recall two dreams. Both of which, in hindsight, were completely illogical and should have prompted a reality check had I been more experienced in the field of dreams, DRs, DSs, RCs and LDs in general. Jotting this down straight from my 'real' dream journal, the one I keep next to my bed. Non Lucid, Lucid, Extra Note 1.) I vaguely recall viewing a scene (which was sort of reminiscent of a film like Starship Troopers) as an observer. The room is dark and there are several people in it, three at least. A man explains about how certain creatures would enter your body and the moment he finishes, screeches of some kind of bug alert the group and flashlights are turned on. A big (the size of a bread loaf) cockroach like creature is revealed to be standing right next to a woman who, until recently had been sleeping on the ground. One person shoots it with an energy weapon, with no effect. Another more tomboyish woman shoots it with a high caliber weapon, causing the creature to explode, sending its gory gibs all over the room. The woman turns to the person with the energy weapon and tells her to use a proper weapon, while hefting her weapon. She then opens a large door and starts shooting down the hallway, which is full of (the same?) creatures. The door closes however, crushing the woman in between the two ton metal door and its respective frame. She lets out no sign of pain though and continues shooting until she is pulled through the door by the insects, her hand being the last thing to pass through the doorway before it shuts. All that, and she didn't even scream. 2.) I was drifting around some sort of museum which had a robotics department. Robots however made no proper appearance. The only rooms of the department were located in a remote hallway. Einstein (yeah, seriously) comes by, recognises the word 'Robotics', enters the room and leaves disappointed. He then continues to comment on the shape of a strange medal, claiming that they messed up his design. (WtF?) Pretty strange stuff. I mean, what the hell does Einstein have to do with the shape of medals? And robotics? Anyways, signs noted, dream logged, hopefully this illogicality will prompt some reality checking in the future.
