A long, lucid dream where I try to figure out how to bring things from the dream world into waking life. I cross the border between the two states a number of time (which had the effect of making me forget most of the dream, although I do remember talking about the attempt with dream characters, including a little girl). Towards the end, I’m trying it one more time with a whole armful of dream items. I prepare to wake up, and I say, “We’ll at least remember all these things when we wake up, right?” Clearly I’ve forgotten they’re dream characters. I have trouble waking up, having to shake my head back and forth really hard several times (I didn’t remember the other technique that works well, opening your dream eyes open really wide). When I wake up, minus all the things, it occurs to me that things in the dream plane might not be compatible with the waking world.
(record, fall back to sleep)
The allure of doing the right thing is stronger than the desire to do anything else that has more entertainment value. I struggle with this idea, knowing it hasn’t always been true, especially when I was young. I tell Mom and Grandma this, even though they’re both just bouquets of flowers on two chairs. I wake up and recall that they both passed away some time ago.

John Travolta on a talk show; things are being pointed out how he’s aging, like a double chin, and excess skin around his nose and eyes.

I’m slowing my heart rate down when I notice my right arm is lifting up and down on the bed as if it was light as a feather. I realize that I must be on the verge of an OBE. Slowly I roll to my left right off the bed and onto the floor. I don’t notice that my bedroom has changed to our living room in B_____, from back in the 1970s. My brother, D____, is there sleeping on another bed. I walk right through the wall into the front yard, but then I get distracted trying to remove socks that are made of diving wet suit material — they won’t come off, and that wakes me up.

I’m living in a retirement community and I have to pick a roommate. I end up with this old man who I thought would give me a sense of companionship, but something still feels off. Playing out by the ocean, I realize that I still need to have a hobby and be very passionate about it.
Earlier: I’m living with my brother, D___, in a restaurant. The beds are sets up right in the dining area and it’s a little strange.

I can see right through the entire length of my pinky finger, looking through where it meets my hand on the palm side, and with my pinky bent at a right angle. There’s only glasslike skin covering the cavity at the palm end, and a transparent layer of cartilage at the fingertip. I’m horrified, thinking that this is what all those years of knuckle-cracking have brought me (IRL I do have a problem with that habit). I wonder how the arthritis progressed so quickly without me noticing.
(wake up, heart is pounding, record, takes a long time to fall back to sleep)
I’m at P___ College and we’re watching the same computer animation from the beginning of the dream (although now I don’t remember seeing it in the beginning, or even anything about how it started at all). It’s incredibly detailed — it shows a view of the whole campus. Then, one (dream) memory pops into my head and I say, “Look, there’s the hall we used to listen to lectures in!” (After I woke up, I remembered that in real life there was never a building at that location on the campus).
We end up in L____, but the streets are different. Then UFOs go flying by. We go inside a house. I say, “I remember now, we owned this house.”
In a second the glass of the windows become completely covered with cardboard so we can’t see out. That makes me lucid, wondering what dream mechanism is reacting to the statements I’m making. I open my mouth to say more, but I lose all strength and fall over. Nevertheless, I manage to shout, “Robert Louis Stevenson!” and I start to feel like I’m losing consciousness completely.
But I shake my head back and forth and wake up.

M____ and her daughter are near an elevated sidewalk and we see a distorted rainbow through the glass around it. Someone is singing about Santa Claus and destroying “Abraham’s arches,” while these Easter Island-like sculptures blow up somewhat realistically in the distance (so realistically that I’m not clued in that this is a dream). The guy singing is a former movie star who now has such bloodshot eyes that his retinas keep reflecting back red and his pupils are so dilated that his eyes look COMPLETELY red.
On the ceiling are dusty paintings of the presidents, Warren G. Harding and Abraham Lincoln.

In front of a house, I feel a lucid dream is stale because I’ve been sleeping too long.
Then, with others in a car, I have one of us be a ghost because there’s not enough room in the car. I give myself some kind of superpower injection and I push a boat along telekinetically. Then I pass a black navy destroyer with radar dishes. The others say they may fire on us, but I pass it without incident. I’m headed for an island of black sand in the middle of a lake.
(shift) Dad is arguing with me, insisting I had replaced Uncle A__ (his brother) in this timeline because A____ died so meaninglessly in World War II (the latter was true in real life, it was a fluke accident that killed him in the Pacific Theater).
I wake up.
