A lucid dream from 2 nights ago.
In my opinion I had the perfect amount of control over the dream: not god-like, but enough to do some awesome stuff.
Also before you read the dream, I just want to let you know that I'm not a murderous d*ckead IRL. I'm actually really loving and peaceful

Lucidity: 7.5/10

I'll skip the first part of the dream: it was just a normal day at school.
I'm walking back home from school in the streets of my hometown, back in France. I take a right on a narrow street when I realize that I forgot my bike. I find it on the corner of a street, attached to a pole. As I take my keys out and unlock my bike, I notice that the sun is especially big today; it's got these solar storm kinda things on it. There are also a bunch of shooting stars spelling my last name in the sky (lol).



I check reality without really but it doesn't work. My mom is waiting for me at a door just at my left. I enter the small apartment in which my whole family is eating dinner on a small table. I look through the window, curious about what is going on in the sky. My mom looks worried about it and I understand that she thinks the sun' radiations might overwhelm the Earth's magnetic field and kill us all. As I think about this, a star explodes in a supernova way too close to the Earth.
I know that the explosion will eventually hit the Earth and I start getting seriously worried, until I Check reality a Second time.
HOT DAMN THAT SCARED ME.
I take a few seconds to look at my hand a little more closely. Even though I only have four fingers, my hand still looks normal... weird.
I step outside rubbing my hands together and take a look at the sky again: I don't get many of these.
I look around for something to do, and fly up to a flat roof. I want to summon a beast.
I do the naruto hand signs, without really knowing who I want to summon. I slap my hand on the floor, and even though I can see the ink writings appear on the ground, no one appears.



Assuming it's because I didn't know what I wanted, I take a few seconds to stabilize the dream even more. There's a forest at my left and the sun is back to normal; it's shining in front of me. I take a few steps on the roof and turn around. This time, I got a good Idea of who I want to summon: the Nine Tails from Naruto (... I've been reading a lot of manga with the current Florida weather).



I quickly do the hand signs and punch my right hand to the ground... The ink writings progress from under my hand to form a cool symbol on the ground. I start to doubt myself after two seconds, but then I get propelled upwards by a crazy force. When I get my balance back I find myself standing on the giant beast, my feet digging into its dark orange fur. I run a few meters on its back, and front flip off of it. As I find my self upside down, time slows down to let me admire the beast's humongous face. He's growling, his red eyes looking straight at me. I finish my flip with a 180 right before I hit the floor.
Ok, now what?
I'm just standing here looking at this beast, I don't really know what to do with him. I decide to set him free and I jump off the roof onto the empty, narrow road. The place reminds me of where the cinema was at in my hometown.
I walk around a little bit, until I notice a video game inside a store's "display window".
A girl walks up to me and explains that she is the one who created the game.
The game's goals is to escape killer penguins by jumping into portals. I visualize the game, and when I snap out of it, I'm in a workshop, surrounded by these killer penguins. The ceiling is really high, and lots of penguins are standing on small cornices made out of the minecraft element "Iron".
The penguins rush at me from all sides.
I push my hands to my sides, using telekinesis to hold them back. I quickly release the tension in my arms and push again even harder, sending the first layer of penguins flying back. I notice that the ceiling is slowly moving down. It's a trap that the penguins set for me.
F*cking hell.
I try to use telekinesis on the ceiling as well, but I have to retain it with my right fist (I hurt my wrist IRL and I can't bend it).
It's not enough. I have to use both of my arms to hold it, and even then the ceiling is still advancing down.
I have an idea.
I push up with all my strength, sending the ceiling up a few centimeters. As the ceiling falls back down, I quickly do the hand signs from earlier, and slap my hand down on the ground, summoning the Titan form of Eren from Shingeki no Kyojin.



Somehow Eren gets rid of the ceiling (?), and I'm able to fly up in the air somewhat quickly. As I fly up, I raise my hands at the same height as my hips, my palms facing out. I use telekinesis to take down all the penguins on the cornices.

I land on on of the cornices. I look around and notice that there are some "coins" around me, forming different paths. I jump back down, collecting all the coins in the air like in a video game. When I land on the ground, all the penguins have disappeared, along with Eren.
There's a girl from one of my classes from school. I walk up to her and ask for any item. She pulls a piece of cake out of her bra (lol). I thank her and grab her boob, then walk away. The cake's got a brown crust but's its yellowish inside. I take my first bite. It's the first time I ever eat something in a dream... to be honest I was expecting a little more. I mean it tastes good but it could be much better.

I walk into another room, where there are lots of cutting machines and all that. It also appears to be a store. There are a few people walking around. I use telekinesis to push a few products onto the ground, triggering a guy's anger. I look at him for a second.
My fight from earlier made me feel real powerful.
For my defense, I was very lucid and knew nothing was real.
There's a guy in a weird plastic suit testing a machine. I hold my left hand to my side, palm up. I look at the guy in the suit and close my hand. His suit starts to condense rapidly, crushing the guy in it, who stops moving.
There's a cutting machine with a big blade attached to it (~1 meter in diameter). I use telekinesis to make the blade spin really fast, and then detach it from the machine.
The blade it levitating, I have small control over it. I clumsily move it toward a guy who's cutting wood, and the blade cuts straight through his arm. I can see that he's pretty horrified, and I decide to let him live. I move the blade to the left, but it's slowly hovering towards me. I bend backwards but the blade keeps moving and cuts deep inside my chest. I jerk my arms forwards and the blade shoots into a glass door and falls to the ground.
Surprisingly, I'm not feeling any pain. I am waking up though, and I am too slow to stabilize the dream.
I wake up.

Being evil is fun ...
The first dream is pretty short and my control was bad, but then I DEILDed and got a much better LD
Also, with summer coming up, I can clearly tell that imma get a lot of nostalgic grand-parents/dad/school/old friends related dreams

Crane Diving

Lucidity: 7/10
Control: 6/10
Vivacity: 6/10

I'm in an apartment, it's supposed to be my grandparent's but it doesn't look like it at all. In the bathroom, I realize that I'm not supposed to be in France just yet. I check reality. I got six fingers. I take a bit of time to analyse my hand, and try to see more clearly how it looks. Sadly the image is very unstable, it's sort of like looking at a confusing optical illusion. The amount of fingers changes from four to six to five to six again. I feel the dream fading. I rub my hands together as I walk out on the balcony. One of my dogs is here with me, and he asks me what I want to do.
"We'll find out," I reply.
I jump off the balcony onto the road. There's a beach at my right. The city that I'm in looks a bit like Miami, but a lot "cleaner".
My dog followed me.
"Coming with me ?" I ask.
I walk under another balcony on the other side of the small street, and then fly right through it. I land onto the balcony, and my dog jumps up to it. He grabs onto the fencing with his little paws and clumsily climbs it.
I look at him for a few seconds to make sure he's ready, and then I start running and jumping from balcony to balcony and from building to building. I can see my dog following me until we reach a crane. I start climbing it and so does my dog, who transformed into my sister. We get to the "arm" of the crane, which is hanging over the ocean.



I decide that I want to dive. I'm a little frightened, the ocean is pretty wavy. It feels like the waves are gators or something, just waiting for me to jump so they can devour me. Eventually, I just let myself fall into the water. I can feel the strong wind as I fall until I reach a wave; I only have time to plunge a few meters under the water before I wake up.


Massive water-bending and telekinesis, being evil

Lucidity: 8/10
Control: 8/10
Vivacity: 7/10

As I try to DEILD, I can already tell that imma have to stabilize that dream a lot: it took me almost a minute to DEILD because I've already overslept (it usually lasts 3-10 seconds).

I land on a high building's roof, in the same city as in the last dream. I look around and realize that the architecture is similar to the one in the game "Mirror's Edge". I rub my hands together.



To my left, there are huge stone carving, like the presidential ones in the U.S.A. The Ocean is still on my right, and I decide to try and water-bend a bit. When the dream becomes more stable, I extend my hands towards the ocean and focus. At first nothing happens and I consider entering sage mode to get more control, but as I think about it, The Ocean's water shoots up in the air, as if there had been a strong explosion underwater.
I don't even need sage mode right now.
I focus a little more and bits water from the ocean slowly gravitates upward, all converging towards a common place in the sky, some 200 meters up in the air.
After a few seconds I can see a ball of water forming, getting bigger and bigger as it is filled with water from the Ocean. I concentrate more to make the ball denser, and the ball condenses to form something similar to a blues crystal ball. The ball gets darker and darker as it condenses, and smaller, too.
The ball could probably fill about three Olympic pools, and I use telekinesis to bring it, over the city.
From the top of my roof, I swing my arms to my right and the water ball comes crashing into a building, destroying it and soaking the streets all around.
There is someone to my left, a guy. I can't clearly remember his face but he had black hair, and he was also dressed in black.
I rub my hands together.
I look at the face carvings at my left and point my arm at it as if I was asking for something, and then move my fingers towards me, just life if I was saying "come at me" in a fighting movie. I can feel the weight of the face carving, but that doesn't stop me from ripping the stone face off the cliff by telekinesis. The huge rock (same size as the building I'm standing on) falls onto the sand (which apparently just appeared there) and probably kills a few persons sitting in it (the sand).
I let go of a malefic grin, and jump to another building.

[...]

We're in the forest, with my (fake) dream guide. I'm walking around and doing some telekinesis on small rocks and other stuff that I can't remember.
I have a false awakening in which I write my dream here on DreamViews, and then wake up for real.

Lately I've been looking for a way to get rid of the "Imperium" and find a another way to get more dream control easily without relying on dream items. I decided to adopt naruto's Sage mode !
I don't know what imma do with the Imperium yet... maybe give it to a worthy DC ?
Anyways, it had been over a week since my last lucid dream, so it's nice to get an interesting lucid dream to start again.

Telekinesis in the woods

Lucidity: 8/10
Control: at least 6/10 (didn't get to experience much)
Vivacity: 8/10

I'm walking in the woods with a bunch of people, one of them is a girl at my school, I don't recognize the others. We're in a coniferous forest with lots of leaves on the ground; I can't feel the temperature but it looks like a rather hot area.
I notice a pound in front of us; there are big, smooth rocks around and in it. I become lucid with a hand RC and suddenly remember both my goals: meet my dream guide and master Sage mode.
...meh, I'l just do that later
There's water here, and I haven't waterbent a lot of times... why not tonight ?
I walk up to the pound with the intention to make huge water dragons and stuff like that and I try it out for a second... for some reason I'm not pushing it, I don't feel like focusing too much. Instead, I just get on my knees and lift up less than a cup of water by telekinesis. I can see the distorted trees' reflections in the small ball of water that I've made. The ball is no bigger than a small tangerine.
I let the water fall and ripple all around in the pound, and then try again. I'm sorta frustrated from earlier (the water dragon failure) but I'm still not really trying, maybe because I want to try and enter Sage mode and I know my control will be much greater then... it's almost pretentious of me, like "oh I won't spend my time on water bending, I can do much more impressive!".
I quickly get up on my feet and take a few steps backwards. I sit down in the leaves, and "meditate". I wasn't planning on closing my eyes, but after a second, I feel confident enough do do so. I close my eyes, and slowly start to count. I'm having an internal battle with the dream, trying to stabilize it without moving.
Five
I open my eyes. I am not seeing my face, but I can feel that I do have the orange "stuff" around my eyes.



I stand up, and make a rock levitate in between my hands.
Meh
I walk up to a trees, and notice that lots of rocks are scattered around it. I nod to the girl from before, and go "watch."
I lift my hands up and all these rocks lift with them. As usual, I can feel the weight of the rocks when I lift them up, but it seems lighter than usual.
I let my arms fall back down, and so do the rocks. A (blond?) guy turns around and asks me do do it again. I do it again and hold the rocks in the air for a few seconds, then back down. He says that it's cool that I can do this with such ease.
"I can do much more," I say.
I feel like showing off a bit more.
I walk to a big rock, about one and a half time as tall as than me. I concentrate on it for two seconds and lift my arms again, still without really trying, and the rock lifts up in the air. I move it backwards, and then turn around and let it fall. I'm looking at the guy waiting for his reaction, when I have a false awakening and loose my lucidity.

[Dream 1]
In a large building on the 5th or 6th floor. It room is quite large, and has multiple windows, but the room is still kind of dark. My siblings are there doing various things. But only one activity prominent in my mind. One of my sisters is upset about something involving pokemon cards.

I take her into the hall way to talk to her and find out whats wrong. She's standing beside a desk thats placed in the corner of the space. Somehow as i ask her what's wrong she disappears, and it takes me a moment to figure out she fell into a ventillation vent under the desk. I jump down and pull her out of there.

[Dream 2]
I'm at the house I lived at in highschool. There's a bunch of Spec Ops guys there and we're preping for a training evolution. I'm packing my bag, trying to figure out what I need to bring; before I leave i remember noting there's a dog in the back. Also noted a wolf, but don't remeber it.

[Dream 3]
I'm on a bus with Spec Ops guys and we are passing through a gate to some military base or military area. We start driving into the woods and I mention it looks familiar to a guy i know who's there as well. He says to look again. I look and see a metal shed thats rusted and abandoned next to the dirt road and I tell him that yeah, i remember being here now.

We get out and my group and I grab out bags and wander into the woods at night. We are suppose to evade capture. After not long we stop at a stream but then spot a bunch of running poeple and lights coming our way. The group starts scrambling away, but i run the opposite direction and shout to distract them. I get tazed but don't feel it, then tackled, and lead away. They bring me back to thier camp, explaining that we did very poorly. We get to and RV or Bus and I hang out there. Dream gets confusing then.

Dream 1:
I'm in a long passageway, either on a ship or in a building. The hall is segmented by heavy steel doors. I'm having issues trying to make much progress down the hallway, because they are hard to open. The dream changes and I'm flirting with 2 girls in a crowded room in the same building. I get the urge to get Nice wih them, so we leave and try to find somewhere private. We are at a different room, and I go in to see if its empty, There's people here, but I go through a different door that leads into another hall that runs parellel to the first one. I start off in that direction alone, but the dream fades there....

Dream 2:
In a building, go up some stairs. Bunch of old people or homeless people? Anyways, there's a crowd sitting and reading books/newspapers. I start picking my way through, and see an old man who's mute hold up a sign that someone announces says Will You Marry Me. Everyone AWWWWWs .

Dream Frag. 3:
I'm on a mountain and heading down. I'm in some sort of training regiment, but I'm glad that I got a particular set of orders, becuse it ment the training would be significantly shorter that everyone else there.

Almost forgot a lucid dream last night; I'm a lil' disappointed because I only thought about teleporting and it was kinda small, but I guess it's still pretty cool.

Lucidity: 7/10
Control: 7/10
Vivacity: 8/10

I'm in a sky scraper at night time, lucid. A bay windows let appear the roofs of the other buildings around me. I feel like teleporting. I don't want that one kind of teleporting that you use to get to a completely new place, I only want to do it some meters away (like in my last lucid before this one) because I want to be able to use it in a fight. I brusquely contract all my muscles at the same time and instantly teleport in front of the bay window. I observe the scenery for a little bit and decide to continue on with teleportation. I punch the window (which is kinda useless but whatever) and break it. The's a chimney sticking out of a roof, and I contract my muscles again. It doesn't work this time, so instead I just visualize myself on the chimney and that gets me there.
Yeah but that's kinda lame
I want to try it again and teleport back to the building, with a 360 spin (teleporting at 180). I wanna get to the chimney though. I jump, make a 180 turn and teleport where I wanted to be, with another 180 before I land.
That's cool, but the spin threw my balance off, and I fall off the roof. As I fall down (I'm at around 15 floors high) I notice a bald guy (The Youtuber "Edbassmaster") and he looks at me in a pretty creepy way. I concentrate on the ground and teleport safely on it, one hand on the ground. The weird guy comes at me and starts a conversation, making me loose my lucidity.
(...)

It's been quite a while since my last quality lucid dream... hmm... could I be back on track ?
Either way, I had an awesome (and pretty long!) lucid with GREAT control (I think I only failed on thing, and I didn't even try that much). I DEILDed a lot, yet my recall isn't that poor .

Lucidity: 9/10
Vivacity: 9/10
Control: 9/10

I Somehow get lucid for no reason and test reality, just to be sure. I am on a balcony (the same as in many of my balcony related dreams) and I look around a bit. I realized I haven't stabilized the dream yet and so take a second to do it. Feels great.
I somehow feel like I am having great control (maybe the fact that I put the "control disk" in my chest in a previous lucid makes me feel more comfortable?) and observe the scenery a little more - it looks the same as in real life. I look to my left and see a random guy on here. I run near him and dive over the security fence, and frontflip my way to the ground. I make sure I land on the balls of my feet (ya know, you gotta make a safe landing ) and roll on my shoulders. My brother is at my right, and though he seems impressed, he shakes his head and "pshh"es. Doesn't matter. I remember I wanted to practice my twists and try it out IRL but I don't feel like doing that right now; instead, I head towards a random glass (big enough for a window) and decide to go through it, remembering that the competition started days ago and that I'm not doing great. I start by touching the glass and slowly pass my body through it.
I decide to do some Telekinesis. I was going to do that but I remembered my three step tasks and though that it would be smarter to start it and teleport before doing telekinesis. I take a few steps back (3rd person view) and start spinning - I have only spinned at 180 degrees when I see myself instantly dissapear and appear a few meters away, finishing my spin with another 180. Nice. I try that again but this time I fail to teleport and instead end up falling on the ground, as I try to get up I can't help but feel the dream fade away a little to fast for me to react, and I am forced to DEILD.

DEILD

I am back where I left, and I quickly stabilize the dream. I walk to a parking lot and there I decide to do my second task : telekinesis. I try and make lots of random object levitate, then try to use airbending but it isn't that great. I make a car levitate, which got pretty easy with all the practice I got, but then I remember that the TK has to be massive. Would a single car do it ?
I lift my hands up and all the cars of the parking lot get around 4 meters up in the air. I remember that there is a limit to the amount of points you can get from a single dream, so I let the cars fall back down and decide to prepare for a hopefully successful DEILD. I close my eyes and see my face frown, before waking up.

DEILD

I'm at the exact same place I left, but there are way less cars this time and I and on my knees. I forget to stabilize the dream, too exited about all that successful forced DEILD.I walk around for a bit, trying to remember what my third task was. At one point I get to think that it was massive summoning (It was actually time control). I do the silly signs that I made up and while I put my hand to the ground in slow-mo, I see myself travel through space to end up touching the floor of the balcony I was in before. The summoning didn't work. Meh, I've already done 2/3 of the task anyways.
I take a few steps and randomly order "I want a storm", talking to my dream like it was a servant. The wind around me starts blowing really hard, and I randomly teleport to a plain in the middle of a forest.

"That's the power you should give me when I try airbending", I say.

The wind is stilll blowing, harder and harder, and a guy in a yellow water proof suit comes up to me and tells me that I had to look down in order to be able to breathe, because there was gonna be so much rain that I could drown in it. The rain comes, and like the guy said I can't breathe, and even when I get to the ground the dream keeps fading out and I am forced to DEILD.

DEILD

It's only when I'm back in the dream that I realize that DEILDing was a good thing. I'm still drowning, though. I quickly get up and spread my arms wide, and the wind and the rain dissapear.

[...]

I am back on the parking with a guy around. I try airbending, and notice that my subconscious listened to me during the storm. I send a burst of wind to a tree and miss by little to rip it off the ground. I play with that for a lot of time, sending bursts onto the cars, making them fly...
At one point I see a guy drinking a soda, it would be nice to try some water bending. I extend my hand to his can and quickly enough the drink gets out of the can, and I make it splash on the guy's face.
I feel the dream fading out, and I try to prepare for a DEILD but I fail it.

The Desert Camp

Lucidis, Chris, and Claire had recently crossed the border into Efile and set out to walk in one direction, which was south. I don't think they really knew where they were going. The map from "The Heart Stone" had no details relating to roads, cities, or geography. I wonder if it's a part of the world that people from outside Efile know little about.

They were traveling through a hot sandy desert. They wore white hooded cloaks to protect them from the heat of the sun. Chris was also carrying a large backpack which likely contained traveling and survival gear. Traveling through the desert wasn't too difficult for them, though it certainly wasn't a walk in the park. It felt kind of like traveling through the desert in Journey (an indie video game).

They didn't talk much and early part journey was pretty uneventful aside from sliding down large sand dunes. Lucidis and Chris found that to be fun. After traveling for a fair amount of time, Claire spotted something from the top of a large sand dune. She activated the visor of her stasis armor and used the binoculars function to get a better look at it. Claire then told Lucidis and Chris that there was a camp and river a few miles to the west.

Initially Chris wanted them to keep traveling in the same direction to avoid getting lost and to get through the desert quickly. After talking it over, it was then decided that going to camp and following the river would be safer. They began to walk west towards the camp and dream time skipped here.

It was now what I think was morning of the next day. Lucidis, Chris, and Claire had apparently stayed the night in that camp. The camp appeared to be the remains of an old abandoned military camp. It was mostly in ruins, but some of the structures were still in tact.

Claire had asked for Chris and Lucidis meet her at a location a short distance south of the camp in the morning. Chris and Lucidis traveled there and what they found was a rather large obstacle/training course. It had what looked to be about a hundred stone platforms elevated above quicksand. The platforms were spaced apart with various obstacles such as rope swings, monkey bars, and balance beams between them.

Claire told Lucidis and Chris to remove their cloaks and to start training. Naturally, Lucidis though training in the middle of a hot desert was ridiculous and protested. Claire told him it that it would help condition their bodies to the desert environment. She also threatened to shoot Lucidis, so he started training on the obstacle course.

After training for some time, Lucidis made it to the far end of the obstacle course and stopped to take a breath. He looked out towards the river and followed the river with his eyes. He looked towards the southwest and saw what appeared to be silvery-blue towers shining far off in the distance. It looked like it was a city to him.

Lucidis called to Chris who was navigating an obstacle a few platforms away. Lucidis pointed in the direction of the city and asked Chris if he could see it too or if it was just a mirage. Chris confirmed that it was real by saying that he could see it too. They worked their way back to Claire and told her about the city. They planned to journey to the city after that, but I think it was around this point that the dream ended.

Well, yeah. One of two lucids last night. Second trial, second episode.
I probably did not succeed but still, it's an attempt.


Lucidity : 9/10
Vivacity : 8/10
Control : 8.5/10


I'm in my History class. A random guy (whom I have nothing against in real life) is, well, just insulting me, and for some reasons I get really mad and I just walk up to him and rip his eyes off and pop them in my hands
The teacher just stays there, and when I ask the kid to apologize he says "C'mon kid, apologize".
Anyways, I get out and get lucid. I decide to enter someone's dream, and I do (or at least try) that same technique as before, except I don't remember whose dream I tried to enter.
I stand back up and notice that I am in my old primary school' s court. There are building like you find in Paris in the middle of it and where the cafeteria should be.
I do some telekinesis on random people and then decide I' m gonna make that dream EPIC.
The school's buildings are surrounding me, I get near to one and try to destroy it with telekinesis. I spread my arms wide, my hands too, and then PUSH like I was trying to break something with my palms. It' s not powerful enough, I see the building moving a bit, shaking, some rock falling off of it, but it's not destroyed; I want to pulverize it.
I begin screaming on purpose, but still, it' s not enough.
I give up on that. Instead, I grow a huge hand( around 2m wide) and swing it down. It act like an imaginary, huge blade.
The building gets cut in half. I try again on another one and it does it again. I play with that a while out of the school until I decide to come back and try telekinesis again. I get in front of a building (it' s not here IRL) and I concentrate. I concentrate so much that I scream naturally. I had my eyes closed but I opened them now. I see a really thick layer of glass get "out" of the frontage of the building; my eyesight gets ridiculously precise and I can now observe the actual stripes that get on the glass.
At one point the glass falls and I stop doing telekinesis because it is flying at me. It lands on the ground, part of it breaks.
I choose a piece of it, and I concentrate on it. I thought it would be harder, but I easily get it to float between my hands. It feels like I just released a weight. Like I dropped the glass instead of levitating it. After a while I let go off it and I talk to a girl (guy?) who tells me they got into my dream, and that it’ s awesome how I can do all I want or something like that.
Then I wake up.

Non-lucid dream, [Commentary made while awake]

I'm at Disneyland, being trained as a Cast Member. I'm with a large group of other trainees, all of whom are wearing costumes and name tags. [The name tags are blue, not white, for some inexplicable reason.] A trainer is taking us through how to operate King Arthur's Carrousel. For training purposes, all the pieces of the carrousel have been taken apart and removed, so there's just a big, wide, brilliant blue, rotating disc built into the ground. It has smaller discs built into it, just like the setup for the Mad Tea Party. We walk across the disc, led by our trainer, who is explaining how everything works. We gather on the north edge of it in a crowd and listen to him talk.

The whole carrousel is back in place, and I think, This is a fifty-year-old attraction, so it deserves respect. It's amazing how well it's working after all this time. There must be just one guy left who is the only one who knows how it all works well enough to repair it.

As part of my training, I go through the queue for the carrousel, which is enclosed, elaborate, and tells a story that appears to be part of, or at least inspired by, Disney's Sleeping Beauty. As I go through, performing my job duties, I find myself on stage as part of a mini-stage show. I'm sitting down, looking out through a window, and when a particular piece of music starts playing, I suddenly realize: You're Belle! Don't forget to sparkle! The song is “Belle,” the opening song from Beauty and the Beast, and I join in the singing. I get all the way through the first verse, and when I get to the end of it, Mulan, who is standing in the audience right next to where I'm sitting at the edge of the stage, says the next line: “Good morning, Belle!” I answer, “Good morning, madame!” ...and then I realize I can't remember what comes next, so I just sort of stop.

[Dreamskip.] I'm walking away from the carrousel, saying to myself: “I didn't sign up to be a princess! I signed up to be in Operations! I don't want to be a princess! I'm no good at it, and I look more like post-haircut Rapunzel than anyone else!” [I do have short hair in real life, but it's lighter than her hair is when it's cut short.]

***************
Side Notes:
I've always had a lot of bizarre dreams about Disneyland, but more so when I was a kid than now. This is the first time I've ever had a dream in which I was a Cast Member.
I know why I had a dream about a carrousel. I had read this article shortly before going to bed. It uses a carrousel as an analogy for the orbit of the sun around the center of the galaxy. Also, the whole “being a princess” theme comes from a fanfic that I have in the works, and the whole “Don't forget to sparkle!” thing is a reference to a thread I've been following on a different discussion forum.

I was at my wife's factory. I was in training to do her job, but instead of watching machines do embroidery, the machine took one product, a toy already in blister packaging, and injected it with some kind of liquid. This was designed to make it just like another toy, or equivalent to this other toy (?).

Remembering that my wife has to do things to spec, I turned to the guy in charge of the machine. He had memorized the specs that I would have to have written down, and another guy at the other end of the room had the specs. I thought they should be closer to the guy manning the machine, at least when that person was going to be me, but I wasn't going to start complaining. I just wanted to learn my job.

~ 5 am

Undead. Streets. A lot of talk. Train, taxi, going home or school, sis, forest, home. Neighborhood watch. We heard a sound unheard by everyone else. It sounds like moving furniture. We checked mom and dad's room. We asked them if they heard it. No. Went outside. It was night. There's a man sleeping on the street. He's a zombie. He was asking for his kids.

Running in the forest. They don't see us. Then they did. They talk and climb. I drop kicked some of them, and had to swing to kick them down. Then there was a helicopter coming. I shouted at the nearby reporter to get them away, or else the zombies will know where we are. He can't do anything about it now. Me and sis hurried and looked for a t-shirt. It's a portal that works by "wearing" it. Wearing it transports the wearer, and the shirt is left behind. We transported home, where mom and dad were waiting, worried. The helicopter who did not find anything assumed we were dead. Good.

Walking around in the area. There's a hideous smell and sight of dung.

~ 8 am

Overnight outside. Meeting. I have to go home. It's almost 10. I might get locked out. A training every Wednesday, a guy told us. RF and daughter N. There's rain. N almost cried. I went back to my dorm.

MAP 1

Mantras;

1. I attract dreams that help me astrally project.

NOTE: I have omitted two of the suggested mantras because I think I've got a grasp on their intended goals. They basically drill the dream journaling routine in your brain. I've got that covered.

"Nuked Blues"
Keywords: high heels, k**** high school, activities sign-up.
I am taking a friend upstairs to see Ferguson. When we get to him, I see that he is in bad shape. As if someone stuck him in the microwave. I am surprised and embarrassed at the state of him.
Players & Connections: A close friend
Event Sequence:

1. Up the stairs
2. Inspect the plant
3. Question reality
4. Accepted reality
5. Embarrassed by failure

Symbolism: Seemingly literal.
Signposts: Poor quality reefer.
Questions: Why was I embarrassed by the state of the plant as opposed to just upset.
Thoughts, feelings, and guesswork: I prematurely trimmed a tiny piece of Ferguson to test. I used a quick-dry method involving a low powered microwave session. I'm guessing that this dream was telling me that if my plant turns out unimpressive, I can not know if it was my premature trim job, the nature of the plant etc.

Mantras;

1. I am a spirit body, capable of experiencing dimensions beyond this.
2. I have the ability to separate from my body, return safely and remember.

"Potluck"
Keywords: Party, food, embarrassment.
I find myself at a party. I believe it is at some version of Ken and Suzette's. There are countless dishes of food. Amanda C. and Guy are here. They are together. I think I ask her if she's out of Ashland for good. I'm sitting on the couch eating the plate I've made; mac & cheese, stuffing; a roll shaped like a hot dog bun. I remember being one of the first to eat after the food was set out. I see a funny shaped glass bowl. It has many contours and etched lines. I realize I'm at my dream home when I'm standing outside the living/dining room area. I have a ladle full of some sort of beef stew. I taste the edge. I consider rinsing the ladle off in the theoretical sink. I probably would have just put it back but I sense someone saw me and it's my oldest sister. She is in the room to my left, partially hidden by a white wall partition. She sits in the corner of an over sized, maybe sectional couch. We exchange words. I'm embarrassed that she caught me double dipping and try to laugh it off. She tells me that she will bring me a bowl to put the soup I've touched in.
Players & Connections: My older sister and overeating.
Event Sequence:

1. At gathering
2. Run into DC 1 and 2.
3. Question DC 2 concerning real-life events.

Thoughts, feelings, and guesswork: CLASSIFIED

Mountains. Climb. Train. Shortcut. One of us can see far.

AFTERNOON

Ticket? French fries. eminor. Book by Rob. A. WES. Many people. Smoke. Trivia. The first and second was easy but I can't light my cigar. Third one missed: I am wrong. A woman asked me if I have research magick 3-1-1. I gave her a blank stare. She said that I'm not the advanced magician she thought I was. Remembered her from a meeting with Rob or elsewhere. Theosophy. She's Rose. She showed me a brown pipe. Asked if they deliver to the province. She just gave it. Her room or sanctuary was borrowed there for a few days. 30% of it? 30% of her soul? Explored the sanctuary. Mind and body retraining.

School. Police. Go to army training. A function. Ms S and Sir J.
