I was on the fence. 8 mg G or 12? I did not want to fail again so I went for broke. In reality, doing a proper WBTB and clearly setting goals seemed to help too. I woke too late after this sequence to capture many of the details. But I do remember the core experiences off the top of my head.

Acrobatic Flying (DILD)

I am walking around outside at night, under a patio with a steel canopy. For no specific reason, I realize I am dreaming. I get excited but I am also nowhere consistent with where I wanted to be. So rather than over think things, I wlak out fromo under the metal canopy and leap in the air. I sore at a blistering rate and I'm treated to a spectacular view of the wooded area surrounding me. I then proceed to do a few minutes worth of acrobatic flying, with lots of flips and rolls and various other maneuvers. Some point later, I lose this dream.

Beach #1 (INRALD)

I am on the couch, believing I have woken. It takes a while, but eventually the feel of the scene makes me realize I am dreaming. I roll over and try to make sure I proceed with all the laid out steps. I grab my wand and put it in my pocket. But when I realize that the skinny side down is not stable, I slowly take it out, insuring that the handle goes first. I then approach the wall and manager to decompose it and enter. I have a great deal of trouble creating my target locale as I am quite out of practice. But I eventually reach for a handful of beach pebbles and get he very realistic sensations of such. The scene forms around me and I am at my target beach.

I then walk toward the water. It's nighttime, and there is a blindingly bright light about a half mile out into the water. Hard to tell what the source is. But I literally have to hold my hand in front of my eyes to block the rays. As I continue to walk, I realize that it is very low tide and I have to wade quite far into the water. When I eventually do, I simply do what I seem to have been instructed to do. I back float and relax. Nothing more. I hold this position and mindset for some time, before losing this dream.

Blue Male Face (INRALD)

I find myself back on the couch. The corner light is on. My first reaction is to think that this is very annoying. My second is to realize that I am dreaming, since I most certainly turned off all the lights prior to ending my WBTB session. I roll over proceed with the same sequence as before. Once again, I have a bit of trouble using my portal to change the dream scene. But eventually as before, I get a good handful of pebbles and I am able to materialize a beach scene. But in this case, it's a different locale all together. More like a very large lake at the bottom of a subtle hill I am on top of. In an excited manner, I jog down the hill and jump face and arms first into the seemingly deep water. I stay down for longer than expected. I have some minor stress over losing my breath, even though the rational side of me knows that this is impossible.

When I do come up, I once again take a back float posture. I review some of the things I've been doing to increase my entropy. My efforts at work, and my efforts to be creative(song writing and recording, some). Before I know it I realize that the scene has changed some The sky has been replaced by a ceiling of some sort. It looks sort of cave like. As I continue to look, I realize there is a face projecting from the ceiling. I see a distinct set of eyes, nose and mouth. The coloration is a medium toned blue. This face, which is male is also animated and seemingly alive. And it is watching me. I have a momentary bit of nervousness over this. But then realize that it does not seem malevolent in any way and I just go with it. As I drift right, it's eyes drift left to follow me. As I drift to my left it's eyes circle back the opposite way to continue to watch and absorb what I am doing. I soon lose this dream.

Fraternity (DILD)

I am walking along a path on what appears to be a college campus. At first the scene next to me is a building. But then it suddenly changes to the path on March Field that leads to our Fraternity house. I am surprised and immediately happy about this. I pick up the pace and check out the view of the old house. It actually appears as it did prior to the renovations that were supposed to finish up this summer. I get to the front door hoping it's unlocked. Sure enough it is. But when I enter the house is completely pitch black inside. I walk around trying to find a switch or lighting of some kind but fail to do so. I soon lose this dream.

The brilliant light seemed to represent the collective conscious. That seems obvious. The blue face appeared to be another manifestation of such - ready to follow me and watch and absorb my attempts at positive experiences which might feed and nourish the system

G/C + LT (12 mg)

So I figured I would start off where I left off. Get to the beach. Enter the water. Do deeper into the ocean so as to represent going deeper into consciousness space. Putting aside any fear. And just relaxing. And let the dreamspace show me what it wants.

Glowing Red Buildings in the Mist (DILD)

I am in my music room looking over to my amp. It's turned around the wrong way. And while I don't realize it at the time it also is a two piece rather than a combo. My classic guitar is missing all together and I wonder who's been messing with my stuff. So I go downstairs ready to yell and create a commotion. I find K in the kitchen and I'm about to ask her whose been screwing with my stuff. But in my corner of the kitchen I see two stacks of amps. One Mesa Boogie and One Randall. It hits me that I'm dreaming. I get excited and then nervous ... can't screw this up! But in worrying about things at all I wake.

I find myself on the couch. I relax and let some vibes manifest. When they cease I am pretty sure I'm dreaming based on the feel of things. But when I sit up Sasha comes walking over which is quite unusual. Her usual posture wherein she wants me to give her some water. But I forgo that effort and decide to get through the wall, if I can. I grab my wand and try to soften the wall. I manage that task quite well, reach for pebbles and help the new scene unfold. When it does I am at my target beach, but quite a ways east of my usual location. It's broad daylight and I wander over to the water. There are various abandoned boats floating in the water. One drifts over to me and I manage to push it away. There are also two spots in the water where something underneath is producing a gas of some kind as there are violent bubbles coming to the surface. I get a bit nervous at the unknown here and remove my wand from my pants pocket just in case I need to use it for some defensive magic of some kind. With that I enter the water deeper and deeper, turn on my back and continue out to sea. Before long I am surprising far from sure. I relax and close my eyes and just try to enjoy the sensations, and the flow of energy around me. But when I open my eyes there is something of a scene change.

It is now dark and I am even further out. Perhaps 1-2 miles off shore. There is a mist in the air and when I look over to shore the scene is replaced by one more consistent with New York City. a landscape of tall buildings. These buildings are glowing a deep subtle red and they have a texture to them. They almost look like they are made of straw, or some other very rough material. Which of course would be impossible. But I am rather in awe of the overall scene. It's very mesmerizing, very mysterious in it's own way. Again I close my eyes and again I induce a scene change.

I know find myself in a mansion of some sort. Sasha is again with me and I walk around trying to see what is interesting. I find a door to exit to the property but she does not follow. Once outside I walk around the grounds, again at night. It dawns on me that it might be nice to find a DC for some erotic play. I see a red car parked nearby and get the sense that there are people in it. When I walk over, I interrupt a guy and a girl kissing. I close the door and leave them be. As I continue to walk around I am coming across more and more random DC's walking the grounds. But none seem particularly interesting and I ignore them. I decide to go back into the house instead. When I do, there is a small doorway that looks interesting. I open it and find another door about 1 foot deeper. Then another, and another. This seems to be going no where so I turn back around. At about this point I have a FA and begin to jot down dream notes, before waking for real.

Lion Chasing Bear (DILD)

I am several stories up on a tall concrete building. There is a promenade of sorts wrapping around the building even at this heights with a wall to protect one from falling over. The wall is about shoulder height. I find myself running after two animals. A male lion chasing a bear.  They are both quite nimble, especially the lion who is easily able to jump from wall top, back to the the paved bottom and slightly up the building in his attempt to out maneuver the bear. But even though they are engaged in a chase, I don't get the sense that it's a matter of life or death. Eventually they outrun me and it dawns on me that it's probably for the better. Before I know it, I am somehow back on the ground walking away from the building. Perhaps because of the sudden scene change I find myself lucid.

I begin to walk around on the road leading away from this building. First a slow walk, and then for some reason I feel compelled to jog away. Eventually the scene starts to feel very familiar. I realize it is very much like the exit of the Meadowbrook parkway (if I recall?) that leads toward the Nassau Coliseum. I stop and admire the scene and reminisce a bit about my time spent growing up in this general area. I lose this dream and have a series of non lucid dreams before waking again.

The symbolism of the last dream is interesting. One bad thing is the lion represents a ton of different things. So it's a bit ambiguous. But it's power and ferocity is obvious none the less. The bear often represents resurrection (as in coming out of hibernation). It's interest that my attempt to resurrect my lucid dreaming focus (the bear) is being chased by a powerful and ferocious animal (lion) and that I am chasing that animal in turn. Seems symbolic of a power struggle.

My rather lame LD experiences continue ...

Americana (DILD)

I am at a small carnival on the outskirts of a forest. The various trees in the forest are all getting their fall colors. Based perhaps on scene discontinuity, or perhaps the early fall colors, I realize I'm dreaming. The trees are very beautiful and I decide to run toward them and fly. I do just that leaping in the air and shooting upwards toward the tree tops. I swoop around for a bit trying to get higher than the trees themselves but I have no frame of reference to focus on, hence I can't pull myself any higher mentally. I lose this scene.

I now find myself in my bed at the Bayville house, perhaps only half lucid. I don't immediately recognize the location but I know things are not correct. I can see through my hand and this is mesmerizing. I move it back and forth across my field of vision playing around with this X-ray vision phenomenon. Scene change.

I now find myself on the couch in my present house. I am laying on my left side and Sasha comes over and collapses into my head and shoulder area trying to get my attention. Again at this point I am probably only about half lucid and I am questioning if I've woken and Sasha just needs my attention. Scene change.

I am now in a mostly abandoned building. As I walk through the door a guy bumps into me rather violently. I get pissed at him and he does not look like he's going to back down. I forget who makes the first more per say, but next you know we are engaged in a fight. But I somehow manage to quickly position him into a Jiu Jitsu Americana shoulder lock and he gives up. I get up and continue walking.

I next happen upon a music store that is setting up shop. I walk in and the guy behind the counter gives me a coupon for some future discount. I can't quite make out the details on the paper but I accept his gift and move on.

As I continue to walk through this building it becomes much more homey. More like a mansion that a warehouse. I hear a shower and it immediately dawns on me that I can almost surely find and attractive DC in there. So I find the bathroom and help myself in. There is a young beautiful Asian woman completely naked with her front toward a mirror at a vanity. I move up behind her and cup her breastsfrom behind  and play with her nipples to see if she'll respond. She clearly likes my attention and proceeds to rather bluntly tell me how wet she is. I work a finger inside her to verify for myself.  But at this point I'm not aroused and I ask her to take care of that for me. So she gets on her knees and starts to work me with her mouth. I look over to my left and there is a laptop PC set-up and it's on some page that has to do with MIP. Concentrating on two things at once proves too much and I lose this dream.

Sasha at the Bayville House (DILD)

I am in a bed. This in and of itself is not correct as I was last on the den couch. The bed is somehow familiar but I can't quite place it. I relax and envision my room in the Bayville house all around me. When I feel comfortable with that scene I roll over and find the door to the hallway. I exit the room and find myself exactly where I expect. I walk down the stairs and quickly surmise that the living room light is on. But it's only a dim light. I round the stairwell and head toward the LR. My mom is on the near end of the couch reading the newspaper. There is a dog roughly at her feet. I wonder to myself which family dog this might be? As there are several options. As I walk closer to the scene I quickly realize it's our present dog Sasha. Even though her presence is not correct for this locale, I don't over think it. I walk over and bend down and pet her and stroke and rub her head some. She enjoys my attentions for a few moments. I then lose this scene and my lucidity.

FINALLY - SWEET LUCIDITY.

Absorbing Healing Energy (DILD)

I am walking around in the kitchen and Sasha is all fussy for water. So I grab the big plastic cup and head over to the dispenser. But I come to realize that my movements are not correct, and that I am dreaming. I forgo these actions and head straight for the wall in the den. I soften and decompose it, and grab for beach pebbles so as to get pulled into that scene. But I am so damn out of practice I completely forget to feel for the IDENT of my desired locale and end up at a completely random beach. Even though it was not my desired destination, it is quite beautiful. The overall feel is very Caribbean and resort like. A tropical beach with one very large white/yellow hotel and several smaller ones.

I begin to make my way to the water. There are these small creatures all over the beach. They are clearly land bound, but they would best be described as a combination of a fly and a very small crab. Their wing apparently not facilitating flight. The tide is extremely low and this has left small puddles along the beach. I traverse these puddles and make my way into the water. I walk further and further in hoping that there will be a steep drop off at some point. Though that never happens. But after walking a hundred feet or so I am finally submerged. I reach down as far as I can with my foot to verify this. There is a small part of me that feels like I should be afraid of what my feet might find (shark, snapping turtle, etc ...). But I am certain I'm safe and I begin to backstroke deeper into the sea.

I then remember my goal to heal my shoulders. And mentally I envision the energy of these scene being focused into these joints in a soothing and healing manner. I then disperse this energy to my entire body, realizing that life's enormous stresses have gotten the better of me as of late, and in general I can use some physical and mental healing. I enjoy this posture and experience for another minute or so before getting lost in the experience and ultimately losing the dream.

Show Me Something Beautiful (DILD?)

I am on the couch sleeping (?) but aware of my locale. I begin to experience very high frequency vibrations. At first this throws me off. It's been so long since I have had this experience. But then it finally hits me. I'm transitioning or of course already dreaming. I relax and let them subside naturally. I then get up and once again Sasha is fussy for water. I begin to question my state just a bit. So rather than ignore her, I decide to get her some water. But in going through this process I become absolutely certain I'm dreaming based on overall feel of the scene. Once I dump some water into her dish and take care of her, I decide to exit the house via the front door.

I leap in the air and simply flap to gain altitude. I am soon above the neighborhood canopy of trees flying higher and higher into the night sky. I then change direction, flying backstroke style. Slow at first, then faster and faster. At first, I notice a bit of pain in my shoulders from the action. This general issue on my mind. But quickly this subsides. I begin to see various images in the space I am zipping past. Various fractal shapes and patterns. Then a grid of what appears to be a 9x9 matrix of large painted tiles, with various images of the hotel from the previous dream.

At this point I mentally make a command to my dreamspace, to show me something beautiful. It quickly responds, changing the previous scene to a stunning image. It would be hard to describe in words. Two long figure eights at a 90 degree angel to each other in an oval shaped bubble, that bubble being the centroid of two more criss-crossed long figure eights as if this was the basis of a recursive fractal pattern. I immediately liken this to being a manifestation of the source. The engine that drives our reality and being. I watch mesmerized as the dark blue lines of the previously described shapes slowly vibrate and pulsate over a light blue backdrop. I soon lose this dream.

I do feel better today in general. But who knows. Maybe that is just due to absorbing someo good energy and a LD re-charge Which is something I have been largely devoid of.

The last dream was particularly interesting. As the something beautiful was geometric and mathematical. Yet powerful and accepting and life giving.

G/C (12) + LT

Just a high level write up. Didn't even get a chance to document these yesterday. They were not stellar anyhow.

Fractal Nature (DILD)

I find myself in a bed and realize I am turned the wrong way, with my head where my feet should be. It's quite dark but I also realize I am at the Bayville house in my old room. I therefor realize it's a dream. I try to turn over but I have the perception of sleep paralysis and can hardly move. I relax and roll some more finally accomplishing that goal. I begin to make may way downstairs. As I do, the dream fades and there is nothing but bright white light where I am heading. I eventually make my way outside, feeling my way to a certain degree. I leap in the air and fly. I ask the dreamspace "Show me something to better understand the fractal nature of the Universe". Unlike my last request to the dreamapce, the response is slower. All I get are a number of images of buildings, slowly fading in and out of my view.

There is a scene change. I find myself wandering around some suburban locale that I am unfamiliar with.

Another scene change. I find myself with an attractive DC. I begin the have my way with her. In the process I tell her a number of things I want her to say to turn me on. She does just that, word for word. But her tone is very robotic, and it's not at all arousing. I soon lose this dream.

More Miscellaneous Locales (DILD)

I find myself in a number of different place, most or which are suburban or kinda rural. I just wander around in each location, trying to find something interesting. At one point, I realize I'm on a college campus. I am overlooking a quad and very stately college building with lots of beautiful trees. It's a pleasant scene and one which is quite complex. It pleases me that my mind has created such a detailed locale and I marvel at it for a while.

G/C + N + LT

Wow, this was a stellar night ...

Reluctant Threesome (DILD)

I am in a situation with my wife and some other guy. We are all waking up and it's obvious he's aroused. I realize I'm dreaming. I decide to put it in her mouth while her dream friend puts it elsewhere.

Failed Portal (DILD)

I find myself in a commercial building of some kind I wander for a bit and realize I'm dreaming. I feel compelled to find a wall to get to my target locale. But a nice clean wall with nothing in front of it is all the way back at my original location. So I walk back there and try to open a portal but I don't make any real progress.

G/C + N/4 + LT

During WBTB, I reflected on the fact that I was quite happy to be re-engaging my work with Maria. I knew she would be saying a prayer on her end. I my end I made a similar request to the Source. I reflected on the fact that these may be nothing more than two interpretations of the same thing. I also wondered whether the Source is effectively a non-physical conduit whereby our mental thoughts and experiences route from one person to another, facilitating various PSI phenomenon.

Portal to Maria? (INRALD)

I am trying to sleep on the couch when I perceive that there's been a discontinuity in time. I sit up to check the VCR time. Sure enough, it's reporting 2:30 which is far too early. I must be dreaming. My intent is quite clear. I make my way to the door, open it and leap in the air. It's my goal to create a scene change and let the dreamspace take me to whatever locale is best in order to help us meet up. I am surprised that my shoulders are bothering me, much like they are in WR right now. But I remind myself that is truly just a projection of my mind. I try to fly faster and faster and leave this scene behind but the scene is rather faded and this once viable method is not working at the moment. So instead I feel for her presence. I visualize her and can almost reach out for her. The feeling and presence becomes more clear and I just go with it. Reaching out to hug her. I think about how happy it makes me feel and how I would like to make her happy as well, by reaching her. The dream soon fades and I lose it.

Dog Sanctuary? (DILD)

I find myself at a different locale and again because of the perceived scene discontinuity I realize I'm dreaming. I am at the shoreline in a location I don't recognize. There is an expansive lawn heading upwards at an angle toward a mansion. There are two dogs playing with one another and I get the sense it's a dog retreat or sanctuary of some kind. I decide to walk up the lawn and toward the house and the dogs choose to follow. I make my way toward a very old fashioned front door. And old, heavy creaky door with thick rivets holding strips of cross bars tightly against the wooden portion. I open it and I'm confronted with a space a few feet deep and then another door. I get frustrated. The infinite nested door problem? I open this one and then another. I open one final door hoping this will lead me to something fruitful, perhaps a scene in which I can find Maria. It does indeed lead to a room, though it is quite disheveled. Apparently a dining room of sorts, with long wooden tables and junk all over them. The dogs have continued to follow me and they run and play and explore in this room. Much of it is still unexposed as it lead in various directions and I hope the dreamspace has simply lead me to Maria. I call out for her once or twice, hoping she might respond. Trying to visualize her rounding a corner and entering the room. But for now, the effort does not bear fruit. I continue to walk around for a bit before losing the dream,

G/C (12) + LT

Conversation with Water Woman (DILD)

I am in a bedroom with a very high window leading to an outdoor scene. There is a small boys head on the other side of the window. It does not seem immediately odd or strange that he must somehow be floating in mid air, as the bedroom is almost certainly on the 2nd or 3rd floor of this house. We have a brief conversation through the glass. A dialogue which I don't remember right now. But when we finish, he quickly falls downwards. This act is finally so strange that it immediately hits me that I'm dreaming. I also quickly lock in on my goal, the first step of which is getting to my usual portal wall. So I exit the bedroom and look for a stairwell. As I walk through this house, it becomes rather "fun house" like. The walls are vibrating and the floor is rocking back and forth. I do find the stairs down and realize that they are quite reminiscent of the Bayville house. But somehow, I know that I can project my TV room from my present home, into the spot where the TV room is in the Bayville house and get to where I need to go. This works very seamlessly and I now find myself positioned to get to my target locale.

When I get to the wall, the stereo speaker is too close to squeeze between it and the door to the basement. Here I am not subtle. I simply pull out the speaker and toss it aside. I place my hands on the wall, soften it and enter. At first, it feels like there is a sheet or blanket over me which I need to toss out of the way to get to generalized void space. Then I have a very clear moment. I remind myself of the necessary steps. Reach out for pebbles, imagine the sounds and smells of the beach and tune into the overall IDENT of the beach. I implement these steps perfectly and when I open my eyes and stand up, I am way up toward the tree line, looking down at the target beach at low tide. Though the scene is not perfect. The slope from trail/treeline is too steep and there are too many boulder along the beach and in the shallow water. But I am confident that this scene will do.

I have a good 150 feet or so to traverse. Should I fly? I decide to simply run on all fours, digging in deeply with my hands, pulling with them and pushing with my legs. In a matter of a few second I am at the shoreline. I begin to enter it and once I am in marginally deep waters I float, and backstroke to deeper waters. Oddly, there are seals all over the place. On the boulders, swimming and so forth. One particularly vocal seal swims right next to me. I need to turn my head from time to time to insure I don't crash into a boulder. Then a scene from the west catches my eye, a few rather violent lightening strikes in the cloudy night sky. I ponder how real this experience feels, just as real as WR and consider how the only real difference is the sheer number of sentient creatures propping up WR in a simultaneous manner. With that, I realize I am about 5 feet deep which will be more than enough. I stop next to a particularly large boulder, put my hand in the water and mentally (and probably verbally) say something like "I hope to get your help in finding Maria Isabel Pita in the dreamspace". With that I feel her hand reaching for mine. An initial miss in the coupling following by a firm interlock with her rising out of the water. As always, she is nude. We embrace and telepathically I let her know that I have missed her very much and that I am sorry I have not been more present for her. Scene change.

I find myself with Water Woman, seated in front of a small cafe which is part of a very small inside mall. There are small stores along each side of a 1 story and modest sized hallway. She is now dressed, in a light blue sleeveless sun dress with yellow and white floral patterns on it. Her hair looks different as well. Though come to think of it now, perhaps that is only because it's dry now. It is a very light brown and quite wavy and long. I repeat my question telepathically, again something to the effect of whether she could help me find Maria. I forget her exact response now, but she surprises me by speaking. But in short, her response is no, she can't . This catches me off guard and I am at a loss how to respond. So I ask her the next logical question ... "is this because my growth in OOB travel must rely on my own methods, and not on the help of others?". Again, her precise response I forget at this time but she acknowledges that this is the case. Interestingly her responses are very straight forward, not the "flowery metaphorical" responses I have often been given in the dreamspace. At this time, I feel quite overwhelmed by her beauty and presence. I realize my right hand has been on her left leg all along. I can't help but to lean in and give her a kiss. But her response is very luke warm. So I back off. I am now at a loss here to go with this, another natural line of questions comes to mind, since I would like to ultimately couple dream sharing with mind mattter interaction. I ask her something to the effect of "are you the one who has helped me realize some of those initial mind matter positive results on the psyleron?". Here, she does not respond but I get the distinct sense that she was involved in at least some peripheral manner. I lose this dream and have a series of non lucids before waking.

Obligatory "It's been too long!"

I've had lots of vivid fragments lately as my cat keeps waking me up early morning.  Also inadvertently sleeping on my back seems to induce more vivid/lucids.

[F] It's crisp clear night with a grey hue from the moonlight. I'm outside in the backyard of an oddly familiar house.  It was a small ranch style house painted grey and white.  I'm with a group of people I don't recognize and a few of them are sitting in a small tree. The tree looked like a scaled down version of a fully grown one, only about 7 feet tall with grey bark and white leaves.  The tree was directly next to a small pool about 15 feet wide. I see one person standing behind the tree pulling on ropes making the tree bend backward.  The tree bent all the way back to the ground with the people still sitting in it.  I assumed they were going to try to fling themselves across the pool or into it if they didn't make it across.  Just before they launch themselves an orb of sharp white light appeared above the house.  It slowly moved over the yard then shot off toward the horizon. One of the women in the group yells "We got a visitor!" and everyone cheers.

[F] I'm in an unfamiliar house.  The room is sparsely furnished with a sleek modern leather couch and a large flat screen tv and hardwood floor.  I look at the television and see a woman sitting on a fainting couch outside in a tropical setting with the sea behind her. Shes quite beautiful with dark brown hair and a silk dress with a sinister yet alluring smile.  I walk up to the TV, I flatten out my hand with fingers together and slowly push then into the television screen. I bend over and step all the way through into the tropical scene.  When I do the woman is gone from the couch and I realize I was tricked.  I look back toward the direction I came.  I see a giant window maybe 50 feet by 100 feet and see the room I was in behind a patchy grid of faint translucent pixels.  The woman is now in the room standing looking at me with a smirk. I quickly try to push my hand back through into the room and I can feel a force pushing back not allowing me to. My view through the window became increasingly patchy and distorted as she slowly raised her hand holding a remote and pressed the power button.

NARR (it really bugs me that it makes her name a link when I just use her first initial, so I'm using her codename ) is in jail.  In this jail, you don't serve a specific amount of time, but instead have to do a certain number of hours of community service.  NARR is ADD and keeps procrastinating on her service hours, so my dad and I decide she will never get out on her own and we have to break her out.  We tell the jailers that we are taking her home to visit for the weekend and they say that's okay.  As I'm packing up her things, an inmate comes in and slaps my ass.  I turn around and he is immediately sorry.  He thought I was another inmate, in which case his behavior would have been acceptable.  I just give him the evil eye.

I am gambling for money to pay NARR's bail.  That way we won't have to bring her back after the weekend.

I am at L's house.

Hello there-

Your recall and ability continue to astound, Dr. For real.

I will not hijack, except that I will, to share that years down the line, where my dreams used to contain "longing, belonging, happiness and peace" (out of touch with my WL at the time) they now accurately reflect waking happiness. This is how it should be.

For the record, Herb and I separated well over 3 years ago.

That said, my galantamine bottle remains untouched on a shelf. Will need to do my homework on that one.

All the best.

I've missed journaling for the past who knows how long.  I've had lots of "life" happening so I've been a bit distracted but the dreams never stopped ,  I had a few very vivid dreams that seemed to be linked and decided to log them.   Since its been all day before I decided to write them down it may be a little muddled.

[D] I begin recollection in a mall with a large open atrium.  I am on the bottom floor of the open 3 floored mall.  I am looking around and see a women that looks familiar.  She is looks like she is of middle eastern ethnicity.  She approaches me and asks if I remember her.  I say I do but I can't remember her name.  She says something in a sarcastic tone to the whole of.  "I understand but I remembered you!".   She then tells me her name which I can't remember now.  I apologize and tell her I've been quite busy lately.  She asks me with what I've been so busy.  I tell her that I've been studying magic and that I could show her if she doesn't believe me.  She calls me on my claim and I proceed to show her.  I walk over to a small potted plant in a thimble sized pot only a couple inches tall and place my thumb and forefinger on both hands on the thimble pot.  I concentrate and channel energy into the plant.  The plant grows into a three story tall bamboo like three and promptly topples over into the open floor behind us.  When it hits the ground I notice its hollow and grab the bottom of the trunk and bring it to my mouth.  I make a cow like moo through the shaft of the trunk.  There were people standing near the end of the tree and they start looking around wondering where the animal noise is coming from.   I smile and look up at her.  She smiles back and then runs forward wrapping her arms around me in a tight warm hug.  I gesture with my left hand to raise her into the air.  She does levitate a bit but she looked scared and unstable.  I tell her that I am not as proficient at casting magic with my left hand as I am with my right as I am right and dominant.  I raise my right hand and concentrate to raise bother her and me into the air and we do smoothly and quickly.  I lose recollection here.

[F] I start the fragment in a sort of third person RPG view. I only remember doing some simple dungeon crawling sort of gaming in third person.  My character was a knight in light armor with a party of other players, wizards, healers and what not.  We make our way to a castle like room with grey brick lining the walls.  I proceed into the next room and the floor falls away with every tile I step on.  I step back to the group and tell them we need to use this to our advantage because the other group is still behind us.  We tip toe into the room still making the floor randomly fall out from under us.  We manage to make it to the door on the other side and decide to set a trap for the group behind us.  We all grab carpets and tables to try to cover the pitfalls in the room we were in.  We made our way into another area on the other side of the room to wait for the trap to work.  Eventually the party following us walks into the room.  They were in traditional 1800 french military garb.   They make their way across the traps without falling in.  In seeing this i order my group to proceed forward immediately as the other group is close on our tail.  We make our way into an very large open room.  The area is probably 50 meters long and 25 meters wide.  At the opposite end of the room I could see a strange object.  It looked like a sea anemone without the tentacles.   I had the thought that it was the treasure we were seeking.  We quickly walk around and as we about 10 feet away I hear the voice of the leader of the opposing group.   He states that him and his group had been wandering the steps for over 1000 years.  I look back at the doorway they came from and laugh to myself thinking it was a time and space distortion that kept them locked away for a long time for them yet a few minutes for us.   I look around in the large ornate room we are in and see a large blob.  We ignore the other group and make our way to the tentacless mass.  I have the feeling that it is a great source of magic power.   I walk toward it and notice a strange sword leaning against it.  The sword was a long double handed hilt and a large jagged purple crystal blade.  I felt I had the choice of the sword or the gelatinous amoeba for my source of power.   I heard an inner voice that directed me toward the sword.  I snatched up the sword and then the opposing group grabbed the strange amoeba like thing.  I walked away hearing some voice tell me that the sword was a dragon sword and was very powerful.  Afterwards I felt a strange sense of dread.  A young man from the other group snatched the sword from my hands and promptly drove it into his chest.  He fell over in a sickly fashion as if he were about to die.  I look to my right and the leader of the other group had utilized the amoeba as a source of strong magic.  They promptly resurrected him and retreated.  As they did I saw two or three strange looking entities materialize.  They were tall with yellow skin and four antenna wearing white robes.  I had a strange feeling of fear yet awe toward them.   I ran and jumped through a similar sort of dungeon like environment. They fired bolts of yellow electricity with their head antenna and floated after us without effort.  I had the feeling the were the guardians of said sword and magic power,  I lose recollection at this point but still have a vivid visual of those entities. I

I drew these yellow skinned guardians and sketched them as best  I can.   I'm not the best at drawing bt this is basically what they looked like.  I wanted to post their likeness because they looked too familiar and I didn't know why.  Do they look familiar to anyone else?

They do look familiar, though maybe just because they seem to have the generic alien appearance. Maybe something from Star Trek? BTW if this is what a sketch looks like I'd love to see your finished art. That's way better than I could draw!

They are pretty much the generic grey/humanoid alien.  I used to draw a lot when I was younger but gave it up with lack of ime and motivation

Alot of this lucid is kind of foggy now after the entire day has passed but here it goes.

[L] I'm standing outside and its a bright vivid day.  I look up in the sky and see what looks like a planet that is just outside our atmosphere.  I could see green continents and blue oceans.  I think its so close I could almost jump there, so I try!  I squat down a bit and launch myself at thousands of miles per hour towards the other planet.  As I'm flying through the air about to exit our atmosphere I think about how when I am dreaming I usually freak out at such altitudes.  This makes me realize I'm dreaming.  I almost lose control and things start to blur and go dark as if I'm going to wake up.  I talk myself down and tell myself to relax.  I end up back on earth looking up at the other planet and decide to go for it again.  I squat down and launch myself upward.  I relax and concentrate on what I'm seeing and that I wont die.  I end up passing through our earthly clouds and see the other planet approaching.  I get the butterflies in my stomach from the height but after passing through our clouds and seeing the ground below I realize I'll be fine and go with the flow.  As I approach the planet the continents grow and I lose site of the whole planet and see green and white in front of me.  I think the white is the clouds of the other planet but then realize I'm too close for it to be clouds.  I'm a couple miles up and the closer I get I realize its a massive herd of zebras!  A huge smile stretches across my face and I start to arch my flight to run parallel to the ground.  I swoop down only a couple feet about the heads of thousands of zebras moving across a grassy plane.  I'm flying WAY faster than I normally can and try to keep it up.  I'm flying at a couple hundred miles an hour and dodge and weave myself through a forest and and power lines more gracefully than I ever have.

This lucid really gave me a wild rush.  I now know what its like to fly like superman.

[F] There was some sort of sentient black goo that if it touches a person they turn into a psychotic flesh eating maniac.  My mom, sisters and I all barricade ourselves in my parents house.  We seal up ever gap we can and stay close together to make sure nobody is gotten by the black goo.  In one instance the goo starts dripping through the ceiling in the living room and I though it had fallen on the back of my neck.  I'm worried I've been infected but my mom tells me it wasn't enough to fully infect me and it just left a blister.  I remember feeling a large bubble blister on the back of my neck.  The last thing I remember is looking out the window of our house and the neighborhood looks different with houses that aren't normally there and the street is different.  While looking out I see an occasional infected chasing a car or someone on foot to try to tear them to pieces.  As I'm looking out the window I see a car driving extremely erratically and my sister and mother both prey with me "Don't his the house, Don't hit the house!".

Sorry I haven't been posting but you know life gets balls the to wall insane sometimes. This will be quite elaborate at times but also some missing points.  It just seemed to be so vivid and fun that I couldn't help but add it here.

[D] I begin recollection talking with a group of people some I know some I don't.  We all seem to be choosing an RPG like character that they would like to portray in a game.  Some saying "I wanna be the tank!" or "I'll be the scout".  I think about what character I would like and decide to go with a female battle mage.  She has blue skin, black hair and light carbon fiber looking armor.  I have the feeling that this is definitely a game and not IRL.  However I have the emotional devotion and forethought to defend my group.  I end up with a futuristic pistol in my right hand and my left hand casts psychic/magic attacks.

Next I remember we are already in the enemies stronghold which looks like an underground cave.  There are holes and caverns that insectoid/crustacean enemies swarm toward us.  We all do our best to mow them down as them come but it seems like we will never stem the tide.  I run out of ammo and realize I haven't used my psychic attacks yet and extend my left hand and snap my fingers.  When I do a thick undulating disc of prismatic light appears in front of me.  It doesn't move until I instinctively gesture toward an enemy and it sticks to them and expands a bit.  I turn and run not knowing what is going to happen.  As I look back the enemy is frantically swatting at the incandescent gum that is stuck to them.  Almost instantly the creature turns into a black fog and disappears.  I have the thought that the person it sticks to is disintegrates or sent to a sort of void.

I have more fragmented recollection of gaining better control of my psychic/magic attacks to the point I don't use my gun.  In one of them I was dropped into another video game like scenario where our group was supposed to eliminate the alien threat and were actually forced into retreat through the portal. One of the first iterations of my psychic attacks I am able to throw the incandescent film at an enemy and they eventually are overtaken by it and disappear.  Then I can throw the same glowing attack and snap my fingers and it will explode disintegrating anything near it. After much practice I am able to summon a translucent whip that shimmers with different rippling colors like oil on water.  It slices through anything and instantly kills any enemy before they have a chance to attack.

[F] I am in an ex girlfriends house and I had accidentally left my underwear on the floor inside a few feet from the front door.  Her and I were entering the house as I remembered this and she hid by the door.  I lose recollection here.  The next thing I remember is her yelling at me that she is tired of my bullshit and she is going to call the cops if she sees me again. (FYI we are on good terms IRL but I still have feelings for her and know she doesn't for me...)

What a neat dream ! You were good at remembering to do so many things in the dream. I usually only remember to do one or two things at most.
