I guess I will try posting each night separately…see if it is more time consuming or useful. Wed, 11 Mar 2015: 11pm? 4am wbtb (~5h) Much digging for dream recall and "train" from my dream sign checklist was the trigger that reminded me of dream where I mentioned to A (from team) where I live after seeing he is also in a newer home. "If you take the train before you get to R." "If I get there!" he says indicating he would likely never go to that place. I say it's also before C(city just over the hills)...seems my memory of geography is off - yes my city can come before those two cities but you would have to be going two different directions! "You see the new homes. None still being built but you can tell it's all one newer development." He drove me to his place in a nice sports car crossover type that makes me wonder if it is a car from England for some reason. He gets behind a slow car and speeds into the grassy shoulder on the left and around. Now at his home, he gives me a tour of his home, I see his bathtub, like modern fancy ones and when going back downstairs I see a man and a woman who appear to be a couple and one is his sibling... I think the woman. They are signing a real estate offer on a preprinted form with carbon copies. I wonder if they wonder if I took a peek at offer amount and address but they didn't seem concerned. Before this I was thinking about how PJ was disappointed in the way we lost by one point after tying it up (WL memory from that night showing up in the dream). I pass another game while heading home it seems and think a player is calling me to help their team. I need to get going but it seems I help get a piece of equipment but don't end up playing. Feeling like I am back in bed, at some point I get a light feeling like I am moving slightly and I just enjoy it and try to do some motion-based entry into dream dancing and what not and probably already dreaming at some sleep stage. eventually images form and I am definitely in a dream but it is all very light and wispy. There is a wispy dream figure standing above me and to the left. In an attempt to bring myself more solidly into the dream, I take some swipes at "him" with much effort as if my hand is made of dream clouds. I also later get an image of a sleeping me, a close up of my face and later a woman undressing, unzipping her dress from a front zipper. Hot! Memory gap and then (maybe starting to wake into and in-between states) I hear the house alarm set by my wife as normal while at the same time feeling what seems like my wife rubbing my back and then holding me tight. I am a little confused here if it is HH or if she came back upstairs but I settle on HH or SP and try to use it but I think I woke myself up too much. I do get back to sleep and when the alarm goes off I am groggy as if in a deep sleep cycle the same as yesterday morning. we did have the time change recently which I seem to be adjusting to quite well by going to bed earlier but not as early last night because of my game.

(This may be a more boring entry, but maybe it gives some newbies an idea of some of the things you can run into) 6/12/14* wake up after about 5.5 hours of sleep needing to go to the bathroom and afterwards I do my SSILD cycles and I start to get HI's but fall asleep. Later I am having a dream where I am on the field after one of my games and the game after ours looks like a forfeit, perhaps not enough players. It seems like I'm very tired and I believe what happened is that I lay down on the field and went into an in-dream WILDing-like session where I immediately start getting strong HI's and vibrations which I start to play with including a woman on the field whose clothes I pull off with telekinesis and some motion based dream entry. I find myself in my bed (possible false awakening) but I can feel that I'm still fully in the dream world. I decide I should take off all my clothes and get into some mischievous activity. It feels like I am struggling with taking off my clothes and I start to worry a little bit about using my real waking life hands and possibly waking up or exposing myself while sleeping. But I do get it together and take off my clothes and I'm hanging around the bed when I hear my wife coming up the stairs again and it reminds me of the false awakening last time and I remind myself "okay FA FA FA" (in other words don't get fooled by the false awakening-like scenario). My wife comes into the room and she's holding my laptop and it's on my email account and I get sidetracked from my lucidity for a moment concerned of what she might have read...perhaps some of my updates from dreamviews related to some of the crazy dream adventures I have which she may not like...But then I hear a song playing very clearly (later when I actually woke up I could hear music coming from my son's room but it wasn't where I could hear lyrics or anything whereas in the dream I was definitely hearing lyrics and a song that I seemed to recognize, all much more clearly than what I heard when I woke up). Anyway, I closed my laptop and looked out my window for the source of the sound and I could see some of my teammates outside getting ready for a game and my first thought was why am I not there, why are they playing without me but then I realize the scenario is highly unlikely, especially a game right outside my house...oh yeah this is still a dream this was a false awakening like scenario. I specifically remember "J" & "K" being out there and a little scene played where someone was asking J if he had ever been an ex-WAIF (unsure what this means) and a scene of J sitting at his current job with a desk full of papers. I think that I'm forgetting some details throughout this lengthy dream because I specifically remember thinking that this lucid dream is going fairly long. I find myself back in bed and I wonder if this is another false awakening but then I can feel my wife being amorous and I start to wake up for real. My lucidity level was obviously low throughout or I wouldn't have had such a hard time retaining it or remembering so much of it. Because of this I put the dream through Sageous' FLD test of proving lucidity to yourself and came up with the verdict that I was definitely lucid in spots. I tried to go back to sleep and got some HI's or dreamlets of Cameron Diaz leaning over showing off her cleavage (saw her in a movie last night). 160
Yesterday, I tried the finger tap technique before falling asleep, here are the results. I was with my dad, he was taking me to a building which looked a lot like a bank. The bank was in which looked like a futuristic city. Moments later, I found myself and my dad in the bank, with my brother and mother waiting for us. My dad gave each of us small metal frames, like these: exept they were rectangles. Seconds after receiving mine, I tossed it out trough the window, braking the windows in the process. Nobody seemed to notice. We then entered some kind of vault with a glass wall. There were mechanisms on the wall, like finger print scanners, or something like that. It was black with a red screen, and a little keyboard. Both of them put their frames on the red screen, a backed away slowly. The glass wall opened like door. Now theres was a wall protected with lasers. It was my and my dads turns to put our plates on the scanners. Then it hit me. I threw it out the window, what now? My dad looked neutral about it. He looked at my and told me with a deep voice: "No phone for you". That might be because, I wanted new a new phone and was expecting to get one soon. He looked angry. I can't remember what happened then, but I woke up. It was the middle ofthe night, I went to the bathroom, I didn't remember a thing. I thought that I would remember my dream in the morning, so I went back to bed. I was sleepy, so I thought this'd be a great opportunity to try to do a WILD. But I'm new to this dreaming thing, and forgot the instructions. I went back to bed.. I then had my second dream. It was dark and really late, if not midnight. I was walking with my classmates. We we're going trough the ussual direction we go when we go home from school. While I walked, I kept thinking to myself: Why are we going to school in summer? It felt like it was summer, but It looked as if it was winter. We aproached the street which we need to cross to get home. Everything looked so real, like reality. But one thing was out of the ordinary. The street which is ussualy calm and more so when it's late, looked like a highway, with cars speeding at incredible speeds, lots of lights. I turn looked back to find my mates, but they werent there. I was alone. They were gone, but I didn't pay attention. I attempted to cross the street. Without looking left to right, I crossed the street without looking, with cars driving right past me. Moving along, I suddenly found 60$ in my pocket, and thought it would be great to go to the local store to get some snacks. Moments later I found myself walking towards the store. From opposite direction I was going before. I should have gone right to left, but instead I went left to right. I approached the door and was greeted by a few of my teammates (I play baseball) Thjey acted very friendly. A second later, I found myself at the cash desk, ready to pay. Thats when I started to interact with other people and myself. I took off my hat and accidently threw it on the floor, I bent over to pick it up, but right before I could even touch it, some girl who was also waiting to pay, took it and out it in her black coat. She looked fammiliar, but I didn't pay attention to that. Then we had a short conversation: "What are you doing?", "Nothing". Thats it, a few words. I then attempted to rip her coat open to get my hat. I succeeded. Just a second later, I found myself aware that my bagpack was also missing. I saw the girl sitting on the counter. She looked frightened. I then saw that she was sitting on my bagpack. I pushed her away and head back out trough the door. I the had another conversation with her, but i can't remember what either of us said. But I think she was apologising. I the proceeded to go home, without spending any oney. Afain, everything looked like in the real life, exept a few details. It was day outside. Completely bright. The other thing that was strange was the houses. They were spraying water trough their roofs. I thought it was strange, but didn't pay much attention. Moving on, just as I was about to reach the corner my house is supposed to be, the dream ended, I woke up. Whe I woke up, it was morning, I didn't remember a thing, so I laid down, closed my eyes and tried to remember the dream. After almost falling asleep again, the memory of my dream appeared. Hope this dream made any sense, I'm not used to writting walls of text and I never recalled two dream before. I should try the finger tap method more often.
Since the last dream I recalled, I had the impression that I wasn't dreaming anymore, this is quite annoying... Anyway, here's another dream. I found myself in a special intervention unit w/ Jack Bauer and some other teammates. I must lead an anti-terrorist mission. First, I see a black military helicopter flying over a bright-green lake, then some film-makers who are talking around a table. I see a female who looks like John Galliano (at least she has the same clothing style). Then, I find myself into a HUGE party room (with rich people and all, you know), and Jack Bauer is onstage. He chooses his weapons for the mission (on the back of the stage are hung up lots of MP5 and a few AK47s), but he gets angry cause they don't wanna give him both a MP5 and an AK47, and he just goes with the MP5. I'm sitting in the back of the room (which is, indeed, opposed to the stage), in a dark corner. Afterwards, my teammates, Jack Bauer and I are in a really dark space, only surrounded with a few red lights (looks like a military place); I hear Jack swearing he's going to take revenge against someone because his sister died. We run towards some small grey-black metallic platforms. I now am in a kitchen, in the morning, with a teammate. The windows' shutters are half-closed, so some sweet bright light comes in the room. We wear some military clothes and have some huge protection & weapons. We find once again two of these platforms and we kick them. They lead us into a yellow room, with the name of a general written on a wall. We once again kick two platforms and find ourselves on the top of a roof. There are two terrorists; there's one in a cage at the left of the roof, with a little black/white globe (it looks very pixellized) near him. We shoot him down. There's another terrorist, in a cage as well, at the center of the roof; he leaves before we can shoot him. His cage goes down a huge building structure. I jump in an attempt to follow him even though I don't see the cage anymore, but I hit myself and a health-bar appears (just as in video games) telling me I've got 1 HP remaining. Then I don't stop falling, but I wake up.
