I had two NLD and an LD from this night

Sleep Time: ~12ish
Wakeup Time: ..?

NLD: I unfortunately have a very vague memory of this dream. I'm at this small, run of the mill suburban house with my friend J (a botanist with dreds), and a bunch of girls. My friend J goes off to another room to work on some herbal tincture, while I'm left talking to the girls. I don't think they're very interested in me, they all leave me with one girl with a horrible unibrow who wants to make burgers.. J comes back, and he says we should get out of here. We wander the streets and by the enhanced luck of a dream find another group of girls, much more attractive than the first. We seem to be hitting it off pretty well. Then the dream ends.

NLD: It's a short NLD, more vivid than the last, but more fragmented. I'm on the beach, the skies are overcast grey, and the waves crash into round grey rocks with increasing fury. I walk along the beach for a while until I see this Japanese girl with long hair and a pair of sunglasses, she's pretty cute. She tells me her name is Yoko, and we chat for a while about what's going on. We walk to her small wooden cabin thats on a small hill overlooking the beach. Dream ends.

WBTB LD: This LD was quite short, but perhaps one of my most amazing ones. Before going back to sleep I was reading posts here about Tantric Yoga states, so perhaps this dream was influenced by that. Shortly after going back to bed I feel a deep humming and vibrating sensation. I think I'm dreaming. I sit up, in my bed, and I look up at the ceiling. A strange soft, clefted portal opens up above my head and a female hand reaches out. It's hard to describe the hand, the best I can say is that it was made of pulsating orange energy, but to be honest it evades description. I reach out and grab the hand, and it jerks me up into its strange realm. I wake up all too suddenly, but I have this curious sensation of bliss and well-being filling my body to the brim. It was as if I experienced some life-transformative event inside of the portal, but was not privy to its secrets myself! I woke up energized, with an awesome sense of happiness that listed for quite a while after I had awoken.

This one is very fragmented, but I'll post it anyways, it was two NLD's.

Sleep time/Wake up time: ??

NLD Fragment #1: I'm with my friend Wyatt, we're smoking weed, chilling and talking. For some reason I'm utterly and completely nerve-wracked. "Don't bug..." I hear my brain say to myself. Dream fades.

NLD Fragment #2: I'm at home with my family, my mother says there's a phone call for me. I pick up, it's my Japanese teacher. She starts asking me several questions and I have trouble responding in time, it feels like I'm stoned or disoriented, maybe this is just part of the same story arc as the last dream.. Dream fades

I don't know why some of my dreams have been drug oriented lately. I've been completely clean for a while now.. guess some things leave strong impressions on you.

I had three LD's today (via DEILD, but they were all in the same setting). Unfortunately I didn't write them down, but I do remember parts of them, think I'm just gonna count this as one LD for the count.

Wake up time/Sleep time: ??

LD Part 1: I'm walking down a road with my friend C, he looks at me and says he has no idea where we are. That's my cue to think about where we are, and before you know it I'm lucid. I try to fly by jumping for a bit, but for some reason it doesn't work. I get frustrated, and the LD ends, but I'm still on the cusp of REM.

LD: Part 2: I DEILD myself back in, C is there, but this time he has a car with a sunroof. Excellent. I clamber on top, and tell him to hit the gas. I lean out the sun roof and wait for him to speed up enough (by my rough estimate of what terminal velocity you need for liftoff in a dream ), and jump out of the sunroof. It's a complete failure, in fact I ram headfirst into a tree, and the dream ends, but whatdya know I'm still in REM

LD: Part 3: I DEILD myself back in (this is getting old), no C this time. I decide to leave my flying for another day, and instead go into the woods that are along the side of the road. It's not too long before this green, papery/silky creature comes out of the ground and starts circling around me. The closest analogue I can think of in the real world is like a Chinese paper dragon, but this creature looks a bit more globular and solid, as well as having no head. After walking through the woods for the creature for a while, I think I've overstayed my visit, the dream fades, this time for good.

Oh, boy, long, long lucid dream last night. In fact so long, I can barely remember what exactly happened. I'll write one fragment I have a stronger memory of.

LD Fragment: I walk into this small inconspicuous door on the side of an inconspicuous street and it opens up into a grand concert hall. There's no one there, and there's a piano on stage. I haven't touched a piano in quite a while, but I think the dream will give me a solid assist here. I'm a little nervous at first, but I sit down at the piano and start plunking away notes and I guess I'm lucky enough to hit the right ones. Out of my own volition I start playing a Rachmaninoff piece, and I start to cry it's pretty damn beautiful. I'm crying and playing at the same time, and my hands are moving quite fast up and down the keys, very bizarre.
