*(I recently was told that my mom has leukemia...
a pretty severe form as well. "Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia".
The survival rate has increased since the last hunk of data a
couple of decades ago...I think, but it still seems to
be no laughing matter.

Things are changing. fast, and frighteningly. But such is life I guess. I'll be quiet about that now though, just wanted to share a couple of notable LD's I've had over the last few weeks/months. Good record keeping I suppose. Trying to resist the urge to attempt to escape to my dreams, too much for my own good )*

P. h.h.s Prison

I am in a prison in what looks to be my old high school. I’m vaguely aware that I’m dreaming though not at a high enough level to exert my will. I have images of the prison bathroom flash in front of my eyes and soon I am standing in the hall with 2 prison guards looking at me, one on each side. I find myself thinking, “If this is a dream, I should be able to wake now since this is scary”…I soon wake without thinking of altering the dreams content.

Length of Lucid= 2-3 minutes

Floating with the family in a shipping container

I’m near the ymca. I know I’m dreaming. I seem to be walking around an altered parking lot area there that instead seems grassy. I verify that I’m dreaming with a watch reality check…the dream feels faint but I glance at my watch several times to cement in the fact that I’m lucid. Soon I find myself in a floating shipping container with mom dad n’ jon. There are glass windows. Every so often I duck down and expose my body to the rushing wind. (The shipping container we’re now in is floating/flying across a bustling city at 40 or 50 mph. I feel the wind in my face but it’s comfortable. I go back inside, and back out soon. I contemplate jumping off…the imagery outside the container is superb and bright compared to the dimly lit container. I stay perched on the bottom… the wind in my face. Soon the dream begins to fade and I decide I’ll try to spawn some imagery. I imagine lying on a grassy, steep slope, like some place you’d find near a grassy villa in italy…it begins to form in front of me but I “wake”, by opening my dream eyes (in the hopes that I’d see the hill) and seeming to be looking facedown thru my bed, a tumbling sensation occurs and I think I’m near waking. I soon do wake. Length- (5-7 minutes)

This was lovely. I need to remember that that “Tumbling sensation” is still bordering on a lucid dream and I can “roll out”. I shouldn’t doubt and resign myself to waking when I find myself while in that state.

Home, and Lucid

In am in my room lucid, I perform a ”roll out” technique into my dark dream room. I seem to have my (usual) dream Eyelid problems, I find myself floating a couple of inches off the floor, but I can exert a little will on my floating direction…it’s lighter now, very bright, but my dream room is projected sideways. I manage to get to the hall and try to do a watch reality check..I find that I’m not wearing my digital watch (no watch at all). I’m near the computer room. I have the Light switch problems just like in the movie “Waking Life”…I want to go see fictional mom in her room.

Length- 2-3 minutes

Dream Room

I am in my dream room lucid, feel as though im having eyelid problems again (so I just take one hand to hold it (my one? Eyelid) open. I wander through the dimly lit upstairs hall and imagine that a pillow I see is my ex-girlfriend d. I begin to “h” it while hoping it will change into her.

(Length=2-3 minutes)

True lucid enjoyment

At some point in this late morning “nap” I become aware that I’m dreaming. I sink into the ld and it’s so very dark, I shift from sp, where there is no imagery into the lucid dream. I am looking down “into” the lucid dream from sp and see (and feel)
a swirling dark void. I am by the garage..outside at night, I can see it faintly outlined..i want it to get brighter and sharper so I sit down on the ground and rub my hands together..vigorously…initially they seem to come apart, but soon I feel as though I enter a more solid dream state…I can now make out my neighbors house across the street. I make the decision to not try to brighten the area im in, but head to an area that is already more well lit. I float/run to the neighbors house, through the room wall where I see the light coming from, and find myself still floating, inside their kitchen. I still have momentum and “slide” out the other side of the house, but soon make it into an upstairs room, get a little less lucid, and realize that this is J.B (from dv’s) room. I turn on some music (with my mind?) and worry that I will get in trouble, but then chuckle as I know it’s my dream. I feel as though athoroities are speeding down the street. The scene changes to a gym class outside my old h.s..im still lucid, I lag outside as much of the other students run into a temple/banquet hall like building where there is some gathering/ maybe a movie. I do jumping jacks, jog a little, break a sweat, feel energetic, and soon find myself indoors…im now wearing sunglasses, feeling pretty cool, T.Z makes a sly comment to me from one of the tables (now in a huge banquet hall). I acknowledge her comment and respond, but it doesn’t really bother me. I walk up to Aaron M from my old elementary school “k” and since I look like a dealer/sleezy guido guy with a hat, I say “Heya feller, lets make a deal, I got a good ne fer ya” (he laughs and plays along). I’m soon (maybe) back in SP..feel like im in that lucid “fertile” state and sink into antoher LD. This time I feel the sensation of flying while going in..I go with it and spread my (dream) arms. They come into view…I’m indeed soaring within a rain forest of what looks to be a tropical country, or an isolated sleepwaway camp in the U.S (what I remember of c.l. camp). I soon wake.

Length= 5-6 minutes
