    The Erratic dreams of StaySharp

    1. Long phase of lucidity and trying Plasmids

      by , 04-21-2012 at 09:36 AM (The Erratic dreams of StaySharp)
      I remember walking around an extended dreamscape and my awareness was rising slowly over time until I kind of noticed that I couldn't properly move fast and at some point I did an RC. I think that place where I finally became lucid was some bridge (it was day), and I was running around below it and found my movement capabilities insufficient, I got some strange feeling heralding lucidity and the RC did the rest. Upon becoming lucid it apparently also became night again.

      Then there seems to be a gap, I don't recall anything specific at least.

      I was really trying hard to keep myself in the dream, I was often looking at my hands as well as trying to keep my mind clear and for some reason got the idea to use Plasmids like in Bioshock (probably because people were running around which I didn't deem necessary), and after trying to equip myself with a random Plasmid I got fire and used it a few times, setting a dude on a bike aflame who suddenly decided to say that this bike was mine because I set him on fire. Then I tried to summon a random non-Bioshock plasmid but that failed. I tried to summon a Nova-like Plasmid (like the beam in Metroid Prime: Corruption), but since that failed as well I went directly with the beam Samus usually wields. After kind of defeating all idiots and some time dilation fighting scenes I got my normal Hands back and decided to do a first World Severing Seal, the pillars now significantly bigger than the last time (this time they were white and hollow, with a complicated outside), however the first 2 were not exactly standing straight. I thought about a bunch of things I wanted to do all along the way, especially about my dream guide. In the end however I started to notice how sensations form the real world slowly came in which I couldn't push away and I couldn't stabilize any longer, just as I was about to let it become day and though about trying to fly again I woke up.


      The text is pretty short but the dream itself was pretty long actually, just that a lot of the things I did were repetitive exercises to keep up stability.
    2. False awakening lucid

      by , 01-27-2012 at 02:12 PM (The Erratic dreams of StaySharp)
      I was dreaming about driving for my driver’s license, at first with a car, than an omnibus and then (oddly) with a bicycle, the street became smaller then as well. Then there were some annoying wasps around, due to a mass of trees on the street I couldn’t keep going and then I found a dead blue hornet under my trousers on my right knee, which was connected with a green strand of stuff to me.
      I woke up in my room, but everything seemed to be realistic and I still heard the music (which I usually don’t in my dreams, and didn’t do later on again), so I thought I wasn’t dreaming at first.
      Never the less I did a reality check and though it was a bit hard I could breathe through my pinched nose, and after becoming slightly lucid I started to notice all those things that were off in my room (primarily all written things had single letters replaced by similar ones [Greek ones primarily]). I did my world severing seal again and tried to raise my awareness, both things with moderate but acceptable success for now. I got up and went to my desktop, first of all starting to think of what to do now, so I decided to make a list with the things to do in order. Yet I woke up in the process, so I’m going to finish that list now.

      Though the dream was this time not directly caused by the lucid remix, it might have incubated the dream in some way. The track was playing from 5:38 to 6:10, while I woke up at about 7:00.
    3. Rain from a blue sky and my first EILD

      by , 01-25-2012 at 12:34 PM (The Erratic dreams of StaySharp)
      I know at first there was some part of the dream where I was with some people I knew (remember only mother though) and that I somehow searched for materials to forge weapons.
      […]
      I was talking with my brother and there was a blue clear beautiful sky outside with just a very thin layer of clouds. It started raining and I said to him that rain with an clear blue sky is the most beautiful weather (which is actually my opinion) and did an random reality check (likely due to an track playing in reality that moment) not expecting anything strange, yet my nose felt unusual and I could freely breath, tried it again and became lucid, seeing a person through the window I tried to change his color but without success. I still wasn’t perfectly sure what was going on and as to not embarrass myself I did my world severing seal silently, my brother though vanished without me noticing and I was going out of the room through the building. It looked casual yet somehow special; everything was bright but in a positive way. I instinctively made a daring jump dawn the staircase and went outside, under an intensively green tree were some snack bars lying. I looked skeptical at them but didn’t pay more attention. I massively tried to get rid of the drowsiness and it at least partially worked, I wanted to search for a nice free location to do what I was planning to do (looking back I should’ve just started where I was, but though I was less drowsy, I wasn`t completely myself yet ). I came across a lot of children, each with a different toy gatling gun. Then I found a big open place and decided that I would start doing my experiments here, strange enough the walls of the buildings around looked somewhat like shelves and there was a trapeze hanging from the sky. I remember randomly grabbing it but then the dream turned all grey and fuzzy, and I noticed I was waking up. I tried to get back in but without success.


      As I woke up though there was a lucidity track playing, at 15 minutes. It was the one called lucid remix which I found in this post: http://www.dreamviews.com/f44/audio-...ository-55276/
      I once had this track playing a lot of times randomly in the middle of the night, and it always only woke me up. After a long break (over a month) and a bit success I used this track for the first time again this night and had immediate success.
      Also the numbers are telling me I likely kept my lucidity at least for a few minutes and that I successfully achieved my first EILD.
    4. Dream Rain

      by , 09-10-2011 at 07:19 PM (The Erratic dreams of StaySharp)
      After 8 hours of sleep with barely any dreams I went to sleep while listening to a rain tune with my mp3 player.
      Then I dreamt that I was in my room, it was pretty realistic except for the fact that the curtain was mounted with a pretty strange device, made out of black plastic. It was foldable and seemed to be designed for mobility. There was a slit in the wall above the curtain where lots of rain poured through, into my room. I got up to somehow stop the rain and did something with the curtain device. Then the dream faded already.
