Lucid Dream 510: Zombie Crisis: Bathroom Shortage
Series: The End of Days, Episode 6

Technique: ADA



The first thing I can remember from the dream is running through a large shopping mall. It was a full blown Zombie Apocalypse. I felt panicked as I ran through the extremely fancy/high class shopping mall. Nami from One Piece was with me. She was a human version of herself (not animated). I knew there were very few humans left in the entire world and we were pretty much fucked. No weapons, no supplies and surrounded by an absurd amount of zombies. They weren't the slow and dumb kind either. We were trying to make to the rest of our group, who was at the far end of the mall. I was leading us through pack after pack of zombies and it would have been much easier if I was by myself, but Nami was following me and she kept having close calls. Finally, we made it to a hallway that was zombie free. Nami was scared and a bit panicky. I knew what would soon be coming from behind us and I cracked open the door in front of us to scout the next room. There were so many zombies that there was an extremely slim chance we'd make it through alive. I quietly closed the door and turned to Nami, who was crying and hunched down against the wall. I walked over to her and helped her to her feet. I said, "I'm going to be straight with you, it doesn't look good. If something happens to me, use me as a distraction and run. The group has got to be only a few rooms away." She cried a little harder and said, "They...they are all probably already dead. I can't lose you. I couldn't survive without you." I looked her in the eye and made her promise me that she wouldn't give up if I died. I could tell she was just promising for my sake and would have nothing left if I was gone.

Suddenly, the doors behind us burst open and hoard of zombies crashed through. I quickly kissed her and said, "Time to go!" I grabbed her hand and pulled her along until she snapped out of it. We entered the next room and I did my best to move the hoard of zombies around the room by using ourselves as bait to lure them into creating clean paths. I almost made it to the end of the room when we got cornered. I was suddenly grabbed from behind and pulled to the ground. The zombie was on top of me and I knew it was over. Suddenly, Nami speared the zombie off of me. Her and the zombie rolled a few feet passed my body. Before I could get up, the hoard and swarmed her. She stretched out her arm toward me and then disappeared in the pile of zombies. Her screams were deafening and then she fell silent. I scrambled to my feet, but it was over. She was surely in pieces by now. I felt like a zombie myself as I clumsily ran toward the door and exited the room. She had become my distraction. I ran down the empty hallway on auto-pilot. My legs just felt like they were moving on their own and I felt like something had died inside of me. I entered the next room, which turned out to be the "safe room" where our group was posted up.

There were so few of the group left and almost all of them had that "defeated expression" on their faces. A kid, about the age of 14, ran up to me and asked, "Where is Nami?" I couldn't hold back the tears. I told the group what happened, some cried and others just sighed as if they expected everyone to die soon anyway. A man burst through a side room and looked incredibly excited. He shouted to us that something had happened to the zombies. He explained that they had all suddenly recovered some of their humanity somehow. Since they had been eating so much as zombies, they now all had to take a shit since some of their humanity returned.

Next thing I remember, we are running through the mall and none of the zombies are even paying attention to us. They were all in huge lines in front of the bathrooms throughout the mall. Most were quiet and some were talking to each other, but just about everyone of them was doing the "butt-clinch, hold your stomach, dance." I asked the guy, "The all stopped chasing us because they all have to use the bathroom?" He said, "Yeah, its a miracle." I got excited and felt like we were going to make it. The environment got a bit fuzzy and I told the guy with me to stop, so I could stabilize the dream. BAM!! Lucidity.

Now lucid, I finally realized how ridiculous this situation was. I also noticed that the zombies had noticed the change from my non-lucid to lucid state. I quickly started talking to the guy next to me as if I hadn't just became lucid. The zombies went back to ignoring us. I decided to go along with the plot and told the guy to follow me, that we were all saved. I ran back into the safe room and Nami was there again. I asked her how she didn't die and she told me that she did die. She became a zombie, but she got most of her humanity back. She said the zombies who had fed the least on humans got the most humanity back. The rest of the people from the group were gone. Me, Nami, and the random guy took off out of the room. I started speed bursting and ramming through walls like a mad bull. I busted huge holes in them that caused small explosions.

Nami cut her arm on one of the holes and she started bleeding. She looked panicked and said, "Oh no. The blood will turn them back." Sure enough, a female zombie stumbled over and started sniffing the air. She shouted at us, "Hey you! What is that smell?" I told her it was my cologne, but she looked suspicious. I then grabbed the random guy and threw him into the pile of zombies and said, "You are all zombies and you eat people!" Suddenly, they all remembered they were zombies and started eating the guy. I grabbed Nami's hand and took flight. We busted through the ceiling and flew away from the mall. I was trying to think of something to do when I woke up pretty abruptly. I think it may have been a false awakening, but I didn't catch it and lost lucidity.

Lucid Dream 511: Call of Duty: Prehistoric Warfare
Series: The Mind of a Gamer, Episode 5
DILD
Technique: ADA



I was playing a Call of Duty online and at some point, the game became the dream. I was running around and straight waxing peeps (like usual). I was running around in a Jungle map that resembled a mix between Makin (CoD: World at War) and Jungle (CoD: Black Ops). I was one kill away from my T-Rex killstreak. Yup, you heard me right !!! I got the final kill I needed by jumping out of a window and shooting a guy while I was in mid-air. I pressed the button on my wristband (like BO2), and suddenly, thunderous/ground shaking stomps could be heard. A huge T-Rex entered the area and started hunting down the enemy. I remember being really excited as I followed it around and awtched it wreck havoc on the other team, as well as the map. It smashed buildings, stomped people, ate people, tail whipped people, and performed pouncing attacks that cracked the ground. I thought to myself, "What else would be a cool killstreak?" I had become lucid at this point without even realizing that I wasn't lucid the whole time .

My T-Rex had racked up a ridiculous amount of kills and +10 kept popping up in my vision every few seconds as the T-Rex rampaged on. I decided on what else would be a badass killstreak. I pushed the button on my wristband and yelled to a nearby teammate, "I just got my Raptors!!" He said, "You got the T-Rex AND Raptors! Jesus!" I heard the bushes around the map rustling and then a pack of Raptors jumped out of the bushes and tree. I decided to take a better view, so I took flight and hovered around the map. Before I knew it, I was in a spectator-like mode and wasn't actually flying anymore. I lost lucidity, but continued to watch the match play out like I was in theater mode. I now holding a controller and showing my cousin the game clip. He told me he had never saw anyone get Raptors and a T-Rex in the same match. I can't remember much else of the dream.

This dream is one of my all-time favorites! It would be fucking awesome if there was T-Rex and Raptor killstreak!!!!!
