    1. 8/7/14 Sky, Sex & More Sex!! - Sensei's Competition Night 11

      by , 08-07-2014 at 11:29 PM
      Tonight I took a break from goals and I feel like that paid dividends!..explanation at the end...

      8/7/14***
      11 355am Being chased by a big Ebola virus caricature. He shows up in several locations. Oh no not Ebola again!?? This time in dark house with fireplace going. Previously in another house. Didn't feel particularly scared. Explanation that if he shows up more than 18% of the time, you have the virus? He was like a big long dreadlocks wig standing maybe over 6 feet tall. Weird day residue from the Ebola virus news story. / I am looking up at constellations in the sky and notice one is particularly bright. I point it out to someone and all the sudden it looks very normal no longer super bright and I realize that I'm dreaming. When I first saw it it was like almost as bright as the moon. It was mostly semi circular in shape. I haven't had one of these night sky based DILDs in a while and was excited to see this. Took a walk last night during sunset and could already see some beautiful stars and the moon and afterwards watched two tv shows about space on the
      Science Channel. Anyway, I flew up into the sky wanting to head closer to the constellation but, I started experiencing strong vibrations...possibly day residue from reading Sensei's dream journal. I play with the vibrations trying different levels of softly or more aggressively clenching my eyes to check the effect and I start to see a scene form
      but I lose it and wake up. / I travel through two big rectangular levels of what seems most like an apartment building. I pass many different DC's. In one area on the first floor near where I started there's a party going on that seems somewhat Mardi Gras themed. I give a few head nods to the party goers as we pass. I am with my wife and son. I get down to the end of that hall coming down towards the next level and there is another party going on mostly younger crowd than the previous one. As I am observing the second group I notice my son and wife has left but I retraced my steps and find them and get mad at
      them for leaving me back there not telling me that they were walking away. / there's an appointment before 5pm Wednesday that I need to make for a side gig that is in conflict with my work schedule. / I am in this club-like or party setting and there is some kind of neon sculpture on the wall of a woman's butt. I think about the earlier party dream and the connection between the two seems to be what makes me lucid. I go down to the right and then right again into a little wing of this club or whatever it is and there is this beautiful petite thin black woman sitting between two big black guys. At first I ignore them but then I decided it's a great way to test or prove my level of lucidity to myself and strengthen it...and it's better not to have any interference from any unfriendly DC's. I say something like hey you don't mind if I borrow her for a moment (more like a Jedi mind trick statement...not a question). Cool! I reach over and give a handshake (dc interact) to the big guy on the right. She gets up and approaches me and I asked her to remove her top. She was wearing a bikini-like top and she revealed beautiful smallish perky breasts. I whip off both her bottom piece and my clothes in one TK swoop of my hands as if the clothes were never there. I lift her up and she wraps her legs around me, with me inserted inside of her. I walk around the club lifting her body up and down occasionally on my (ahem) enjoying this awesome scene for a while. I just remembered this detail > I see another woman, maybe latino, with large breasts and I ask her to remove her top and as she does I see man boobs and look up and she is now a chubby black guy. I poke at his man boobs and joke with him in a friendly way. < I walk back towards where I first entered and over to my left is a different wing that looks like a bedroom. I approach it and there is another beautiful woman inside slouching on a bed and the first woman has disappeared off of me. I approach the second woman she has dark hair , she is white and wearing pink lingerie. The bed coverings are also in silky pink. I lay down on the bed and gently start making out with her then straight to intercourse for a little while before
      waking up...I think for real. / I doze back off doing some mental recall but wake into a false awakening and my wife and son is there and I start to tell them about becoming lucid but then I remember that they don't like the idea of "messing with dreams" like that (memory was slow to catch up and I am not lucid). I instead told them about the dream regarding the appointment before 5pm since it is fairly ordinary and it shouldn't take any offense to me remembering an ordinary dream! The transition after the above is not clear in my memory, it must have either another FA or a transition within that last scene but I saw the woman from the bedroom in the earlier dream and instantly knew I was dreaming again! I walked over to her as she was walking away into a hallway and I caught up with her. We started making out they're in the hallway end another blonde woman who was apparently her sister comes out of the bedroom and I start kissing her as well! We are making out (dc interact) in the hall and they start inching me towards the bathroom. For once the DC's are taking charge and I don't mind! We get into the bathroom and it seems as if their idea was for some privacy and I think for a moment about closing the door behind us but remind myself that there is no need, this is all a dream. They both go down and my pants and underwear are gone and they both started going at my (ahem) and I am just looking down fascinated at the realism and highly enjoying the two of them who both seem very skilled! I wake up smiling ear to ear and after trying to go back in, I roll over and pulled out my hidden paper dream journal to write down a few quick notes so that I don't forget any details. After some quick notes I experiment with getting to sleep quickly using two short (combined senses) SSILD cycles that take no more than about 5-7 seconds. I do quickly get to either advanced dreamlets or the beginnings of dreams that I seem to be scaring away
      being a little too alert. This night I was reminded of my other theory that I was experimenting with two nights ago but forgot to log that basically says that if you maintain awareness into HI's and then go to sleep then you are more likely to have a DILD. That has probably been said before but much of this process is all about discovering things for yourself. 185-187

      I was considering what to do about my extended RC's specifically for the competition having become so rote. During my RC's I invoke the feeling of becoming lucid, slow myself down and then run through my goals for the competition. I had been doing this since maybe the 2nd or 3rd night and I had a long list of items to complete. I completed roughly half of the ones I had worked out ahead of time quite a number of nights back while lucid. After that I just worked on the 2nd half of my goals during the extended RC's during the day...but since the last half was the same as it had always been, it felt worn out and tired so yesterday I decided to just focus on doing anything fun for my next lucid. I think this made me more excited about getting lucid and resulted in a very fun triple!
    2. Recreating the World // Buying a House

      August 07, 2014



      Recreating the World

      I remember that I was supposed to recreate the world in such a way that some specific organism would thruve. The thing is, they had gone extinct, and only then did humanity find that our existence is tied to theirs. And so I was given the mission of somehow going back in time and recreating a world in which those organisms would live instead of dying off. I can't remember exactly what kind of organism they were, but they were microscopic things. I also vaguely remember shrinking myself down to a tiny size to observe one.





      Buying a House

      I was touring some houses that were for sale Up North. I was going to buy one, but hadn't decided on which one to buy.

      I vaguely remembered something about being a teacher in a classroom, and the kids were playing Dead Fish and they were all actually dead fish until they moved. then they would pop and become young humans again.

    4. Notes for 8/6/2014

      by , 08-07-2014 at 09:31 PM
      5mg of Melatonin keeps me up, messes up recall completely.
      1.5mg of Melatonin makes me start dreaming earlier in the night and fall asleep within ~45 minutes.

    5. Of Course, I should have realised....

      by , 08-07-2014 at 09:04 PM
      Two non lucid dreams last night, there were moments in each where I cant believe I never realised I was dreaming!

      1 - Climbed up a load of trees to a wee cliff, then found out I couldn't get back down. It was dark but not scary. Noticed two lassies on another wee cliff to the right of me, I called out to them , one got a wee fright but then calmed down. I shouted once for help. Very soon after a ladder appeared in front of me and a lassie in a wedding dress climbed up and stood in front of me (this would have been the point I should have said - erm, this is a dream, aye?) . I looked at the lassie and said to her 'Amanda Murray' (In real life shes a girl I met once in the shop I run, shes a friend on facebook but that's all). She repeated her name, and in an instant we were at her hoose. It wasn't a nice house , bit dirty looking and there was a party going on. I recognised a few people, including one friend from school who said he knew me but couldn't remember my name. My wife was suddenly there. I wasn't drinking, but got handed some spirit in a funny looking plastic device. Me and my wife went to the front room where there was a skinhead sitting down and a couple of big scary dogs.

      2 - Standing in a room with a late middle aged couple. Tall man and short dumpy woman with glasses. They pointed to a poster of Scottish wildlife and said - 'Well, we've seen everything except these two' - they pointed to two gaps in the poster where there was nothing but I knew they meant Red & Roe Deer. (The moment this time I should have realised) I said to them ' Well, I could show you them but it might take a full day' (which is true) They replied by saying ' Well if you ever come to stay with us in Canada then we could show you them there' I said 'Do they have Roe deer in Canada?' The woman looked at me like I was stupid then nodded her head.
      We then joined a queue for something, no idea what....

    6. Dreams of the Night, Almost Lucid Twice again

      by , 08-07-2014 at 05:03 PM (One Up Seeker)
      1. I had just walked into some sort of house, and I was with a group of people I knew and we were about to play hide and seek. This house was only one story but still probably covered around 5,000 square feet. The game started and I started walking to the back of the house. I walked through 4 or 5 huge rooms before I got to the room I wanted, and it was really dark. No one else had gone this far back, I was the only one. I looked around and became a little uneasy.
      I thought to myself, "What if this is a dream? Nah its too real to be one." With that I looked around for a hiding spot. I decided to hide next to the bed that was in the room, but under a pile of clothes, which, I hope were clean. I sat down on the far side of the bed so no one was able to see me unless the walked passed the bed. I then sat down and grabbed a pile of clothes and put them on top of me. Somehow I ended up also putting a trash bag on top of myself.
      The game had started and the seeker was looking for everyone who was hiding. I waited a long time, but no one came back to where I was. It was a little creepy back here, but other than that it wasn't that bad. I got up out of my hiding spot and made my way back to the front of the house and left.However, I had forgotten my green snap back inside the house somewhere. I went back inside the house to find it As I walked through the rooms I had walked through before, I came across a dude. He had blonde hair, a red t-shirt on, and some basketball shorts. I asked him what he was looking for and he told me he was looking for his toy action figures. This guy was probably about my age, but was a little mentally slower(not making fun of him though). I walked around with him to look for his action figures. Also, I didn't mention, but I found my snap back right as I found this guy. It was on the floor in the same room I found him and he picked it up and handed it to me.
      We looked everywhere it seemed and still didn't find them. Finally we walked to the back of this house where I hid to play hide and seek. We looked in the closet in this room, and by the way it was still really dark. He opened up the closet while I looked around. I remember coming across a mirror and thinking about how real this was and that it couldn't be a dream. The blonde dude told me he had found something. I came over to the closet he was looking in a saw some transparent action figures. They were star wars action figures but almost all of them wear clear like glass. Each one of these star wars guys was riding a bluish futuristic motorcycle. I asked the guy if these action figures were his, but he said no.
      We left the closet and decided to go back into the house a little further, into the very last room. In this room, it was almost completely dark, and there were no lights. We walked to the back of this room where we saw a door. I walked up to the door and opened it slowly, it was the back stage of the house, like the entire house was set up for a play or something. But the house was complete, it wasn't cut in half like most theater type environments. Anywho, I listened for a moment. I heard a "worker" in the back stage. I saw some blue lights around but other than that everything was black on the surface. I told the guy next to me we should close the door and not go back there.
      After I closed the door back up, I walked back to the front of the house. I told the blonde guy that I had to go, and with that I walked out. I walked across an area of cement pavement where alot of other people were. There was a guy behind me, he was mexican, and he was in a hurry and kind of told me to get out of the way in an indirect way. Luckily for him, I was just about to go inside. I made my way into this mall that was infront of me. As I went inside I noticed it was very nice, with white buffed tiles, and white walls too. There were many stores every lined along each side of the walls.
      I went to my left down the left hallway and walked around. I looked at the stores. I passed one store that was named, "mall" and I felt the urge to go inside of it. I don't know why it was called mall, because I thought this was the mall. Anyways, I didn't turn around to quickly go back in, it occurred to me that I would look awkward and out of place to do so(lol). So I walked up past the store a little more and as I turned around to walk back I noticed a group of girls I knew. Somehow, I had the feeling that they were going to follow me. Lindsey, a beautiful blonde was in the group as well with her other friends. I didn't feel like talking to them right now, so I just walked past them and ignored them. Right as we passed each other, a tall wooden sign go in our way so we could't even see each other anyways.
      As I passed Lindsey and her friends, I noticed a large girl store directly to the left of me. The store had no walls though, it was as if it were out in the open. I remember reading a sign that said something along the lines of, "Girls, you need to make your man happy, and here's how to do it!" I thought" wow, I never knew girls thought this way." There were signs all around reinforcing how girls needed to do this, and how to do it. I don't have ANY idea why, but when I read one of these signs, I broke out into a mini, solo dance off. I danced in all these weird girl moves, but again I have NO idea why.
      As I walked past this girl section, I looked back and saw Lindsey way back there. I continued on my way to the "mall" store, but the dream ended.

      2. I was in my neighborhood, and I had gotten a huge gash on the bottom of one of my feet. I looked at it and could see inside of my foot, it was nasty and it really hurt. I came up to a parking lot where my friend's sister's Corvette was parked. It was really nice and had a red paint job. I told my sister to get in and drive because this was an emergency(my foot) and I needed to get to the hospital now. She got in, pulled out of the parking spot and started to drive. She was a pro! She had never driven before this, but still was really good at driving. She drove onto the main road of our neighborhood and started driving to the hospital.
      However, at this point I realized how bad it was to be stealing my friend's sister's Corvette just to go to the hospital for something that I could handle with a while longer. As we came back to the parking lot, cops were already there, sirens blazing and everything. I looked at the driver of the car and my sister was no longer there. Instead, my good friend Patrick was driving now. I said, "dude this is bad, look at all of these cops." He laughed and said, "I know", but didn't seem at all nervous or upset. We honked our horn to let the cops know where we were and parked behind a building not far from them. We got out only to meet Emily, and when she saw that it was us who had stolen her car she laughed and was relieved. I think I told her where we were going, but I don't remember. At this point, I said goodbye to the two and started walking home with my cut-open foot. I walked on the sidewalk back on my way to my house.
      Somehow, I ended up taking a detour and walking down another street and continuing from there back to my house. I remember why now, there was a big accident and I wanted to avoid it and the area around it, so I did. As I walked up this street to avoid the scene of the accident, I could here police sirens as loud as ever. There were 3 or 4 police cars on the right side of the main road where the accident was. Two cars had crashed and one the cars was black, which a lady was driving. As I continued walking down the street I heard the woman from the car screaming. I looked over to the accident, which was in clear view from where I was.
      I couldn't see the woman, but only her partly smashed car. I was afraid of looking for too long because I didn't want to see anyone come out of the car disfigured or anything. Once again, I continued walking. I started noticing around 10 people start running past me. I wondered why they were running. At this point I thought to myself, "What if this is a dream, with all this weird stuff going on? Nah its way too vivid to be a dream." (Dang it, every time!) I kept walking and looked more closely at the people that were running past me. One of them was a tall blonde with her hair back in a ponytail.

      3. I was in some sort of nice office and had gotten on my laptop. I had started a webcam conversation with a doctor about my foot and its huge gash about 2 inches wide. I asked the doctor if I would need any kind of surgery to fix my foot. He said, "Yeah, we're going to have to cut a part of your pectoral muscles out, so it will tighten that area." (Wow, sounds like it will really work) I thought to myself, "Crap, this means I won't be able to do my Pec workouts for a while." And in the dream, the procedure made sense and it didn't seem odd or anything-Cutting into your pectoral muscle to fix your foot- why didn't I think of that.
      I continued talking to the doctor on the webcam and he was wearing an all-white coat and had black hair. He looked like a guy I've seen on t.v., but I don't remember who. All of a sudden, the doctor started ignoring my questions about my health and started stripping down naked(what in the hell is going on). He got fully naked on camera and just kind of sat there talking to other people. I found out that I was in some sort of chat room with a lot of people. These other people- these other dudes, didn't mind the doctor being naked at all. In fact, its what they wanted.
      I was a little weirded out about this, because I wasn't gay, and I never will be(no offense to those who are). However, I tried continuing the conversation about my foot. The doctor kept ignoring my questions as if I wasn't even there. Minutes later he proceeded in telling everyone that he was getting off of his cam for the night. He then turned off his cam.
      "Wow", I thought, "How am I going to get this surgery done"(Now that I think about it, I dont know if I would've wanted this procedure, knowing that the doctor likes getting naked on cam in front of random dudes).

      4. This was a really long dream, and I dont remember all of it. But heres what I do remember:
      I was outside next to a tall stone pillar at night, talking to a nicely figured brunette. I barely knew her, but somehow, we were sexually attracted to each other. I remember starting up foreplay out in public. I put my hands up her shirt and started kissing her. She wanted to hold off until we weren't in public, which I knew was understandable. I told her I wanted to eat her out, and that really aroused her.
      Later, we were in a library talking(seems private enough lol). We started getting sexual again with each other, but then, a group of my friends showed up. Great, 12 friends from school showed up. I told the girl I would be right back and went to talk to them real quick to get them to stop cock blocking me. Once I got over to my friends, I first tried talking to Neal, who, for some reason, tried convincing me that he wasn't Neal, he was Neal's brother(wtf). Neal doesn't have a twin brother, but somehow it clicked in my brain, "Oh yea, your Neal's brother Travis", "Yea bruu you got it right" said Neal.
      I handed him a handful of what looked like chucky cheese coins, no idea why, and continued back to my girl( I assume it was some sort of payment so everyone would stay away). When I got back to her we went to the back of the library and I started up foreplay again. I told her what I was going to do to her. She told me in an enticing way, "You better be nice to me." I told her I would, but again, I didnt get any farther than 2nd base, but I do think I managed to get my hand down her pants before the dream ended due to my excitement.

      5. I was inside of a room with Rihanna and some other beautiful girl. Rihanna had long hair and was dressed in lingerie.
      The lingerie was purple, yellow, and blue I believe. She was standing next to the bed stand leaning on a wooden pole.

      6. I was in a cafeteria in some school. Some big event was going on onstage(stages are in the cafeteria in my schools). I had just sat down at a table. Whoever was in charge told me I could take off my jacket. All attention shifted towards me as I stood up and took of my heavy duty jacket. Underneath I was wearing a long sleeve red shirt, almost crimson in color. The collar on this shirt was really tall and I felt like it was too big.
      As I sat back down in my seat, I looked over to the table at my left and saw the girl I had a crush on. She was a gorgeous redhead with the most beautiful eyes ever. Her hair was in a pony tail. We looked at each other for a second, but then I looked away so things wouldn't seem awkward. Later I remember looking at myself in the mirror and my hair had gotten really poofy and frizzy and was even combed back.

    7. 8/6/14 my first lucid dream!!

      by , 08-07-2014 at 04:38 PM
      Wow! I had my very first lucid dream last night! It was brief, and I didn't have as much control over it as I would have liked, but I'll take this small victory for now and keep on working at it.

      Three Fingered Hands (LD)

      I was in a large classroom after hours with a few of my co-workers, specifically Jason, Rebecca, and another female who I can't remember. I was goofing off with Jason, I believe making paper airplanes. I remember looking down at my hands, and seeing my ring and middle finger disappear, leaving behind nothing but stubs when I would focus on them. I looked at them for awhile, not realizing I was in a dream, until it finally dawned on me. “Holy S***, I’m dreaming,” was the first thing I said as I felt the dreamworld immediately begin to fade. It started to blur at the edges, almost like a water color painting that had too much water. More like washed out. I remembered reading that rubbing your hands together was one of the best ways to get the dream stabilized, so I rubbed my three-fingered hands together, and felt this smooth, cool, electric like feeling under my skin.

      The room became crisp again, and I ran up to Jason and said “Dude! You’ll never believe it, I’m actually dreaming right now and I can control it!” Surprisingly, for my first conversation with a DC, his response was pretty true to his character. “No s***,” he said, “that’s awesome.” I tried to get Rebecca’s conversation, but she was wrapped up in her conversation with the other girl and kept telling me off.
      could it be that I don’t remember this other girl since I didn’t interact with her at all before or after lucidity? I remember that the other two characters at this point were well known to me from the beginning, but their identities were crisper once I achieved lucidity. I picked up one of the paper airplanes and threw it, not making it very far. Jason came up to me and said, “Have you tried looking in the mirror yet?” and I thought, you know what, no I haven’t. Thanks Jason.

      Looking around the room, I couldn’t find any mirrors, as two walls were covered in windows showing dark night sky outside, and another wall was covered in an oversized green chalkboard, still dirty with white chalk dust. So I walked out of the classroom, and entered a dim hallway. I saw a mirror at the far end, but ignored it as it was dark there. Instead, I entered a doorway that led into a large bathroom. Inside were two other gentleman, but I can’t remember who they were. The back of the bathroom almost seemed to turn into a large maze of a locker room, with many showers and lockers just out of sight.
      In retrospect, this room is something I have dreamed about before, except it has always been empty. I know it is like a maze, because even though I didn’t explore it this time, in the past I have in a non-lucid dream. I remember that there are doors further back that lead to more showers/lockers, and more doors, etc. I walked up to the mirror and looked at myself, not finding anything peculiar about my appearance is this normal? The dream started to fade yet again, and I tried to focus myself on something. Once it stabilized, I tried to let the other gentlemen in the room know what was going on, but the dream began to fade yet again, and this time I could not control it.

    8. Fragments

      by , 08-07-2014 at 02:25 PM (Lucid Time!)
      So I was in my kitchen. There is some strange man there trying to convince me to eat a cold eggo waffle with chocolate chips and cheddar cheese on it. I tell him this is the single most disgusting thing that I have ever seen and that I refuse to eat it.

      I was in some kind of zombie apocalypse, driving in a Jeep-like vehicle with another man. He ends up driving into a wall, crashing and dying. I get out of the car and see a zombie horde coming down the hill. The world we are in looks like fallout.
      I start running back the other way we are driving. I have a large machine-gun like weapon that fires some special type of ammunition. However it seems as though I can only harm the zombies when they are within say, 50 feet of me.
      I retreat under a highway overpass, where I end up getting cornered. My machine gun runs out of ammo and I switch to my secondary. A small handgun that fires some kind of special bullets. Supposedly it was supposed to be used by the president for defense during the zombie apocalypse, but the president had died and I had found the weapon.
      There were only a couple of zombies left by this point, so I figured I could finish them off then hopefully find some more ammo. I started shooting but realized that the pistol was completely ineffective. The zombies pushed me onto the ground. One of them started talking, saying that it was going to take a lot more than that to kill them. He has one of the special bullets stuck in his head. The special bullet has these radiator fins on the side.

      Then the zombies came down on me and just as they were about to rip me apart and eat me, I lost the dream.

      8/7/14

      Last night bed at 11pm - 5:50am

      Alarm woke me up just as I was taking pictures of wild mustangs on the hill from my window.

      DR
      Someone alerts me that I have left my dog outside. I remember letting him out to go potty, so as I look throught the sliding glass door to the backyard, I get a mental image of my black lab pooping.

      But as I look, it's not him, but some shaggy black dog. I step out to make sure my lab doesn't attack him when he sees him. But the dog is hurrying away, following an older woman, who seems to be a transient.

      They are walking off from my yard to the bushes on the hill righ behind my house. I see her dog is looking at something in the distance. I look and I see some animals. I'm thinking those are the usuall deer we get there often. But as I zoom in, I can tell they are a small herd of about 8 wild mustangs.

      I'm amazed. I decide to ran and get my camera from upstairs. But I'm running up the long, dusty hill that is now how you get to upstairs. I grab the camera and rush to the window on the first floor. I can still see them, although I thought they will not be tere anymore, since the hill I had to ran up was so big and it took me a long time.

      I see a black bronco rearing up and and I'm like "hell, I gotta take a picture of this, this is awesome". I push the button, but forgat to turn it on first. So I turn it on and bronco is still on his hind legs, as if fighting with the other horse. I see the indicator on my camera flashing red for the battery and I'm hoping I can snap at least one good picture.

    10. A Terrible Accident and Making Peace With Jarrod/The 7 on the 6-Sided Die

      by , 08-07-2014 at 02:14 PM (Krista's Dream Journal)
      Dream - Lucid

      I was at my parents' house. I kept thinking there was a place where I had a hidden stash of weed from a long time ago, since I could control my smoking more (IWL I gave up weed a year and a half ago). I "remembered" getting some and only smoking a little, and putting the rest away. In fact, I "remembered" doing this on multiple occasions. I feel as if my mom and I talked about this at some point.

      Then, I was in a restaurant with my old friend, Sean. He looked much, much younger though; he looked like a chubby 11 year old version of himself. His dirty, light brown hair was medium-length, wavy, and a bit shaggy. He even had a more high-pitched, prepubescent voice. We were sitting down across from one another at a table in the middle of the restaurant. People kept walking by and saying hello to him and chatting with him. I wondered if they noticed the difference in his voice and appearance.

      Then, we were at some party at my parents' house. It was nighttime. Sean was there, but I don't remember who else was.

      I then fell asleep in my bed. I woke up, and did not see anyone there from the party anymore. I looked at my phone, and it was on a screen that said that people could return to MTSU (my old college) because the warning was over. I was thinking about what could have happened. Was there bad weather or something?

      I then was watching a scene of people using the top half of people's heads to scoop some white liquid out of a dumpster. It had something to do with the warning I received on my phone. At first, I couldn't believe that they were using people's heads, and that it must be something else. But it wasn't. It was definitely people's heads. The scene continued on to showing people standing outside their homes, tossing heads around to each other, and using them to bail out some other substance. It may have been water, but I can't remember. I saw a guy with a mohawk's head get tossed in front of someone and landing on the ground, slightly startling the person it landed in front of. I also saw the detail of another, younger guy's face on one of the disembodied heads. No one seemed disgusted by the disembodied heads they were handling.

      I think Sean was with me as we were watching, and I was talking about how terrible and disrespectful it was of people to do this. I was very upset.


      ~

      I was at some kind of get together. Many people were there. The one person that I really remember being there though was an ex from many years ago, Jarrod, though you could not tell by looking. Instead of blonde, his hair was scraggly, medium length and brown now (a bit longer than Sean's from my last dream), and he definitely looked older. But his height, mannerisms and the way he walked were the same. He kept his distance from me.

      I was then inside a restaurant, a new one here in town called Peter D's, sitting in a booth with some friends. I had gotten offered a waitress job from there. I accepted the offer, and thought about how I have just changed jobs again for the second time in a month's time. I then thought about waitressing and holding trays. I knew I'd learn how to do it in no time. I was excited!

      I then was at a party of Peter D's people. Apparently, Jarrod worked there too; I saw him in the distance again. I knew he was avoiding me for whatever reason; maybe he thought it was better that way. I understood why he would think that. He then started to walk in my direction, but did not approach me. He was going to get in his car. As he was passing me, I got his attention.
      "I just want you to know that I value the time we had together. You taught me so many things." IWL, I do feel this way, even if I didn't for awhile.
      His response seemed happy. He lit up a bit when I said that. I don't remember his verbal response, however. But it made me feel like we had some sort of closure with one another. I was happy, and he seemed happy as well. He was then in his car, which was a dark red car with the driver's side door bashed in a little bit.

      Then, there was this contest that had to do with my old middle school. We were there, though it looked different. We were still at the party, however; it was part of it. We were split into teams, and, as a team, we had to roll a die. The number we got told us what we won. A guy from our team rolled the die. It seemed to just keep rolling and rolling for a long time. Finally, it stopped on...7. Yes, our six-sided die stopped on 7, which, in the dream, didn't seem abnormal at all. We had won the opportunity to take some 7th period history test on the computer...woo...what a prize. I thought to myself that that didn't seem like much of a prize compared to all the others (which I can't remember what those were anymore). We went into a room with some computers in it, and took the test. I think there were people watching us, students, I believe. I don't remember anything about the test.

    11. Competition Entry # 11

      by , 08-07-2014 at 12:34 PM
      What a completely crazy night!!
      I wonder if I might sometimes really forget these things - or it's an absolute new one: four lucid episodes - I kid you not!!
      I did a WBTB relatively early in the night - after hardly four hours.
      They were all reasonably long, even if I didn't get something done, not overly much. But I went about stabilizing exercises - and sometimes to good effects!
      Recall was excellent again directly upon waking - but I didn't dictate in between and so former normal dreams are lost, which I did have upon middle of night waking.
      Oh - edit: And what is really funny - I was pretty tipsy if not drunk upon falling into bed - friend of mine had been coming around for playing darts, and drinking is somewhat traditional, at least I indulged in it despite expecting negative effects on dreaming - nope!


      LD #1: I get lucid out of the blue, while looking at an intricately patterned curtain, do a nose-plug and yepp - lucid. Thinking of the last one, I do as if nothing was and walk out of the building. It is a pretty lucid - not of otherworldly shine and beauty - but compared with what I often have - half dark and visual troubles of some sort, something dissolving when I look at it - it's really good. So I decide this is going to be it - walking about and looking for a while. I remembered the comp, but didn't care - what counted for me was keep stuff as is and not endanger it with being ambitious.


      It's not a DEILD-chaining, the next one - but I woke up drank a sip of lemonade and rolled back on over and start to dream normally and then

      LD #2: Almost directly after starting to dream, I notice it again and do the nose-plug. This time, I think 5 senses - again not comp, really - I just want it fully realistic. So I look about, which again works nicely enough, if nothing special, and I hear things and then I go to a cabinet and smell it - doesn't smell - so I take a bite - tastes like rice-crispies or something, makes crackling noises as well. Then - mistake - I pat myself down and the cabinet, which leads to an absurd attraction - I have to admit it - I get "involved" with said cabinet and wake up in the process - dayam - don't even need people for this sort of mishap...

      Then there was a regular dream or anyways more time in between and then:

      LD #3: Meanwhile I think - heey - wow - lucid again!! No dreamsign and no RC needed to find out - it's simply obvious within, that it is again a dream. I dutifully do a nose-plug for the point, and this time I want to do something for the comp. But I was too stupid to in the middle of the night or the evening before incubate something, definitively not expecting even more lucids. So I stand there and remember parts of the long lists of dream-control stuff to do - and nothing takes my fancy. Forgot my rest of the 3-stepper completely, and my personal task - so I think I try telekinesis again, because that wasn't easy, but did work. I try it with different things - with a stool first, and it doesn't move - with a cushion - and it also doesn't move. I remember the leaves then, and that I had waved my arms about wildly in front of a heap of them (but from a distance). So I do that again, with the cushion, shout at it, too - and it levitates a bit, ruffling about in itself, but it's not exactly satisfactory - and I wake up.

      Similar like the first couple - I don't stay still or fall asleep instantly again - but right in the next dream I get lucid again.

      LD #4: This time I had reminded myself of the superflight stuff still being open, do an RC and take to the air from standing, which was satisfying, a bit with imagining gravity reversing for me and with the usual swimming thing as a means to direct the path - but - I lose optics and wake up. I guess it's good to stay on ground for a while for stability's sake...

      Dream #1: A story with my ex-boyfriend, and the flat from last night played a role as well - he was totally over-tired after having worked through more than 24 h, and I put him in my bed in the flat from last night, the one originally belonging to my gay friend there. I could write more, but I hope this is enough for now - no - nothing happened in that bed, at least not that I remember, I just put him there to sleep.
      Edit: And I mentioned the details because of the in-dream-remembering of a prior dream element, which I find to be a curious phenomenon. Some features even seem to take on a sort of life of their own in dream-land, become a fixture, almost...
      Na - the story was more of me convincing him to stop working finally and give over to somebody else and come rest somewhere. Now upon editing much of it is lost, and I'm not even sure, if it's true, that I woke up, when he fell asleep, more or less..? Whatever.

      Dream #2: Horrible nightmare - birthday party for me supposedly, with family, and an ex-stepfather of mine is there, plus a supposed new one with my mother, my grandmother, my real father with my two half-siblings and a couple of others. It's a hate-fest, lets say it so - my mother and her (ex-) partners are positively mean to me and each other, my father sits there perplexed and half amused, half taken aback. I get quite angry, try to hold it down and not explode. I know if I do, they will demolish me, expecting it, baiting me.
      After a while I jump up from the table and say to my brother and sister - lets go mountain-hiking - which we do. We've been in an open air restaurant directly in the mountains - they are relieved and happy to get away from it, too. So does my father - he leaves as well.
      There's a funny scene with a little girl showing us the way, maybe 4 years and in traditional dress, but with shining orange eyes - like an evil sprite - but we know, she wants no bad - she's just too fast for us - jumping like a mountain-goat from stone to stone, so she disappears in front of us. We're hiking, and it has several scenes, but finally we come back down to that party. Still everybody is there, my father is back, and still people are insulting and reproaching each other, but they happily turn their attention back on me again, too much recall for my liking...
      I woke up in a huge sweat from that - the last scene was my mother holding my hands tight in hers, and I knew, if I wanted to get away, I'd have to break hers, or mine, or both our bones. I wake up before anything breaks, while still straining and trying to figure out what to do.

      I almost never have a proper nightmare with some sort of monster or danger or something - I believe I journalled only around three of such a tendency over my whole time on DV. Oh - and one monster I remember now was a "horror-rabbit" in black with red eyes - not even overly big - but one sinister rodent that was - it needed only look at me to curdle the blood in my veins...
      My nightmares tend to be of a social kind, if I have them, which is luckily also rather rare - but that was one!!



      Fragment #1: Trying to find my glass with dry red-wine back, there are lots on the table, but all have sweet wine and belong to somebody else - I don't find it, but people get pissed off because of me touching their glasses and leaving prints. Not that I tried their wine - nope - dirtied their glasses...

      Fragment #2: My grandmother in hospital, very sick...

    12. Deja Vu Dream

      by , 08-07-2014 at 11:49 AM (The Dream Magic Experiment)
      5:52 p.m.

      I was in an Amway event. I was with mom. It's along city streets, but not familiar. My orientation of it was somehow near Greenfields (where there's a weekly Saturday bazaar). I was talking to the woman who's selling the tickets for another event/promo. Mom wanted to join but I can only afford one at the time. I asked the woman questions about whether the ADC in Shaw transferred. She mentioned some other unfamiliar places, but she's also unsure.

      I was walking down a wavy path, bordered by plants and then some sort of plant hangers above. The "wave" is just like a sea wave, i.e. up and down, not sideways. There was supposed to be some sort of zip line to make the travel easier, but I didn't take it. It was easy enough. I had a sense of deja vu, like I was there before. I met up with some friends who also took the path.

      Nearby, there were some pagans praying or praising someone or something. I think they were praising or chanting one old woman's name, but the old woman didn't want it so she chanted something else, a name of a deity or nature. Everyone else followed.

      I was in a restaurant. Or was it a fast food chain? I was with a friend (Amben?). I was going to order something. I also had a feeling of deja vu, like I've been in these places in other dreams.

      NOTES:

      - Slept at around 9:30 a.m.
      - Ate in Jollibee last night (I didn't sleep after).
    13. Fragment: do not purger self but try to entrap

      by , 08-07-2014 at 11:04 AM
      I was not myself. I was female. I think I was working for se sort of law enforcement organization. I was trying to "entrap" someone to try to reveal what they did illegal about a house. My boss reminded me to not purger myself in the process, and in this dream any lie seemed to be close to purgery.

      So I had my first lucid in months!! And the first lucid in Sensei's competition. It was so much fun! Yay!

      I woke up at 7.30 this morning and I wrote down 3 dream fragments. I probably could have dug deeper and remembered at least on of them fully, but I'm stuggling with the motivation to write the dj. and so they stayed only fragments. I then lay awake for a bit thinking I would do a WBTB, I was awake for maybe 20 minutes? Then I got comfy again and tried to go to sleep. I repeated a mantra to myself for a minute or two about how I would fall asleep and realize I was in a dream. After a while of twisting and turning, not being able to fall asleep I did a nose plug, and I could breathe! Only through one of my nostrils, but I could breathe!! But how could it be? I was still in my bed trying to fall asleep! But wait, was I? I looked around and realized I wasn't in my bed after all. I was on a mattress on the floor somewhere else. I got up and went to the bathroom, doing another nose plug (I couldn't believe I was lucid) still could breathe, but only through one nostril. I kept my nose plugged for a while, wondering how I could do that and not "choke" in real life, I then realized it's only my dream body that's got its nose plugged... Even though I was lucid my awareness was low at this stage. I suddenly realized I was standing in a bathroom scrubbing the toilet and I thought "I'm not using my LD to scrub down a filthy toilet!!" So I stood up and tried to remember my goals. I remember the competition and some of the tasks. Should I try flying? I have had a plan that if I did become lucid I would summon a 'musical muffin', eat it and try to sing! So I placed my hands behind by back and thought "when I bring my hands in front of me again there will be a musical muffin in my hands. And there was! It was a bit unclear/hazy, but had a creamy cheese topping with a 'musical note' as a decoration. I hurried to take a bite, and as I did I wondered how it didn't taste anything. After eating a bite of it I tried to sing - very quietly, because I was afraid someone might hear me. And I was disappointed, my voice was even poorer than in real life. LOL! Here the dream gets a little blurry, I can't remember quite what happened, but I think I had a FA where the nose plug RC failed.

      I also remember dreaming about writing in my dj about both the lucid dream and some other dreams - it's so frustrating waking up and realizing you have to do it all over again, haha. All in all I remember 4 fragments, 2 dreams and 1 LD! A very, very good night! I'm so happy!

      A question though: Did I just have my first WILD, or was this just a regular DILD? Did kind of feel like a DILD, but then I really thought I was still awake so it might have been a WILD... I've heard so much talk about the weird sensations one gets when wilding, and I didn't feel any of that...

      by , 08-07-2014 at 09:42 AM
      First journal, I was able to recall 3 dreams, all after I woke up at my scheduled WBTB time. Recall isn't great, but better than I usually have:

      1. I was speaking with one of my friends, who I believe took the form of one of my students (I was a sculpting teacher for a time) he's an older guy, and he was criticizing my lifestyle and how he felt I spent too much of my time slacking off. I then blew him off and we had a bit of a falling out. He seemed to become quite a bit younger at that point and went of with a few other people, there seemed to be a dispute and the othe people he was with starting beating him up. I went to his aid and pulled the other guys off him. It was then later in the night and one of my roommates was there, she was having dinner with a man named Mario but then had to go off to a party, my brother was there and ot a call that the party didn't go well and then it ended.

      2. I was in a school of sorts, not quite a high school or a college, the students seemed to be about high school age but it was far larger than my high school. There was also the idea that we were living there full time in a sort of dormitory situation, but there was a large sink in the corner of the main classroom we were supposed to use for bathing, not sure how that was supposed to work. I remember there being a number of clubs including a 3D animation club and I had a rather large tear in my pants I seemed to do a decent job of covering up.

      3. I was in some sort of bar or cantina in the middle east somewhere. The dream seemed to center around me trying to get a drink that I enjoyed, but I couldn't find anything at the soda fountain I wanted. I seemed to be getting inexplicably drunk and I tried to stumble to what I assume was my home. A man noticed me in my state and offered to take me back to his place to make me some pancakes. I woke up before I got to enjoy the pancakes.
