    1. Path Cliff

      by , 08-13-2015 at 09:38 PM
      While walking on a forest path, I came to a cliff that was part of the path. I could see that the path continued below but felt that it was much too steep to be a part of the path. Even so, I began scaling the cliff, and I held onto a rounded protrusion of firm brown ground to help me down, saying "God of the East, God of the West, I feel like I'm holding the Earth's breast."

    2. N5: Playgrounds and textbooks -_-

      by , 08-13-2015 at 08:36 PM
      I can't remember most of this...

      So... Apparently, Sabrina Collins from Raising hope was at a playground... She was blonde, and was holding a game show... It was an obstacle course for little kids XD
      Then I dreamt that my 7-year-old neighbor was writing a book in the style of a school textbook.
      There was more to both the dreams, but I forgot.
      I think that at some point I dreamt about a stone.
      Idk.
    3. Singing Chimneys

      by , 08-13-2015 at 05:47 PM
      Morning of August 13, 2015. Thursday.



      In my semi-lucidity, seemingly very late at night, I am aware that my dream environment is only half-rendered. Thus, without focusing that much, or sharpening my awareness with any intent, I do not really feel like getting up and walking into another part of the house, as I will probably just trip and fly forward and become half-awake, as in typical first-stage light sleep paralysis dreams from night to night. Still, for whatever reason, it does not dawn on me that this dream type does not usually render my present home in any discernible way and is usually an area in a city, outside, where I most often find myself walking down the sidewalk. So, already my critical thinking skills are not functioning.

      Not knowing what else to do (again, not being that focused), I continue to work on my computer. Still, I am somewhat suspicious of the technology being feasible in any dream state (where electronic devices sometimes explode into small smoking embers with amazing “realism”). In the back of my mind, I am somewhat aware that this “other world” has Gothic attributes. I feel a slight wariness. I am aware of a presence that is very different to me, like a feature of another world becoming known for the first time. It is very eerie, yet I also somehow sense love and joy at the same time; perhaps some orphan domain of Steampunk consciousness blended with something else.

      A strange sound occurs, increasing smoothly in volume. It is every chimney in the (fictional) neighborhood suddenly “singing” in some sort of low-pitched hollow reed-like frequency, somewhat like a sustained pipe-organ note, but layered (overdubbed) to an extreme. Is it wind somehow speedily and heavily flowing through every chimney in the region? It is almost like a ghostly human chorus. Again, the pitch is very low, but some of the layers are slightly off the pitch by enough cent variation to give it a barely noticeable flange effect. The volume of this chimney “chorus” increases until it is “filling the world” with some sort of intended beginning vigil, perhaps. I am not sure how to mentally respond or take note, assuming I should. It almost reminds me of a factory steam whistle slowed down exponentially and layered infinitely. I remain puzzled; I get the ambiguous association of rows of churches with factory steam whistles calling the public masses into uniformity. Then there is silence.

      I was hanging out in my brothers room and noticed two cats "mating" in the backyard. Me and my brother try to ignore it but we occasionally turn to look. Eventually one of the cats notices and leaves and the other climbs up to the window and tries to scratch us but can't. We then close the blinds and ignore it again.

    5. Lucid Dreaming Experiments

      by , 08-13-2015 at 05:27 PM
      Introduction

      I got up far too early this morning and decided to go back to sleep and lucid dream. It took me a while to fall asleep again after waking up. I used the usual MILD strategies - keep my body perfectly still until I experience sleep paralysis; focus on sleep; and maintain my lucid dreaming intentions. After an hour I so, I found myself in my first dream of several.

      The Dreams
      I was able to repeatedly induce a series of semi-lucid dreams, most of which I have already forgotten. I still remember a few of the dreams though. The first was a false awakening where I checked my hands. It was then that I realized that it was a false awakening - I had six fingers on each hand! Next, I squeezed my nose and realize that I could still breathe through it. That confirmed it - I was in a lucid dream! At this point, I was so excited that I was starting to wake up as I felt my hands on my bed (despite standing up in the dream). I tried to go back to sleep and lost consciousness. And so, I decided to "reboot" the dream.

      Take two. I held on to the previous dream in order to re-enter it. This time I found myself in the same dream bedroom I woke up in but instead of a false awakening, I was standing in the room. Just for fun, I did some experiments: I jumped and floated around. Then I waved my arms. Uh-oh...I was getting to excited again and my physical body was starting to wake again! I let go of lucidity and tried to "reboot" the dream again.

      Take three. Once again, I found myself in the same bedroom. I found my dad who was a dream character who behaved almost nothing like him in real life! I approached him with the intention of conversing with my subconscious. He seemed quite ... untalkative, providing with one word answers on everything I ask him. Nevertheless, the answers provided what I needed to move on. I was starting to wake up again from trying to be too lucid so I gave up lucidity again and rebooted into another dream.

      Final dream. I found myself at a lottery booth with lottery tickets scattered across a table. I tried to read the tickets for numbers and dates, hoping to see today's date and tonight's predicted winning numbers. But the numbers keep changing each time I glanced away. Instead of numbers, some of the tickets had words on them. For instance, one of them had "poop blossom" instead of lottery numbers. Hahaha...very funny, subconscious mind.

      Observations
      - Time/Duration: 7 AM - 9 AM / 2 hrs.
      - Dream control was poor in all of these dreams.
      - Dream vividness was also very poor - these felt more like daydreams than lucid dreams.
      - I was more "awake" in these lucid dreams than any I have had before (which were all DILD).
      - I was partly awake during the transitions between dreams.
      - Lucidity disappears if I become too "awake" in my dreams because then I can feel my physical body.
      - I was very "analytical" in these dreams, much like in waking life. I constantly tried to figure out what's "rational" and what's not in order to stay lucid. Maybe that's why I couldn't do many physics-defying tasks such as flying.
      - I was tired after waking up.

      Speculations
      - Having a series of lucid dreams reduces dream recall, analogous to having a series of regular dreams.
      - Vivid lucid dreams require me to be "less awake." DILD earlier in the morning may be best for that, based on prior experience.
      - Dream control requires less analytical thinking and more spontaneity. Stop thinking about physics!

      Planned Experiments
      - Try another MILD early in the morning but wake up after the first dream instead of "chaining" more dreams to it. Is dream recall improved? Am I less tired? How is dream vividness?
      - Dream control: Be more spontaneous in dreams. Stop being so analytical. (This is hard...)
    6. Dreaming is not Dreaming

      by , 08-13-2015 at 05:03 PM
      After my lunch I fell asleep and had a WILD out in the countryside. I kept telling myself "When I am dreaming I will know I am dreaming". I woke up a few times knowing I was dreaming as I seamed not to be stabilising. Then I fell asleep again. I could see my son Matthew and my ex-Wife Melissa. Melissa was giving me a list of instructions on what to do when I was minding Matthew while Matthew was looking up at me smiling with not a bother on him. Matthew is 8. I looked into his face and then I knew I was dreaming. There was something about the twinkle in his eye and as I stabilised myself looking at him. Melissa had finished giving me the instructions and had gone away so immediately I said to Matthew would you like to go flying. He looked puzzled but then he said ok. So a grabbed him in my arms and flew up into the sky. I could see the clouds around me and could feel the height we were at. Then I remembered about the black hole. Probably last months task but anyway it is meaningful to me. I told him we were heading up to the black hole and he looked puzzled again but said ok. We went up into space and found the black hole quite quickly and kinda disappeared into it. We were in there for a while. I wanted just to see what would happen next. Now this is when I realised that dreaming is not dreaming as the whole of our perception including ourselves turned into the Buddha in the form of a golden statue. I stayed in that state lucid for some time not very long and then opened my eyes. All my thoughts had stopped and I was one with nature looking up at the sky. I then realised that the whole point of dreaming and waking life is to understand this and stay in this reality. The lucidity in daily life and dreams becomes much more vivid and I am able to understand and see everything clearly. This is definitely reality free from personal interpretation. A flower is a flower and a tree is a tree without any other stories going on. So dreaming is not for dreaming but for being fully present in the dream and daily life.[/SET_ANCHOR]
    7. #195. Keeping Up Appearances

      by , 08-13-2015 at 04:10 PM (Things to Run Away From Really Fast)
      Mulcair kicks Harper out of his office, and the group of politicians and staffers watch a jug on the desk to see whether their party actually won the election. If the jug fills up with mostly orange liquid, the NDP definitely win.

      They do, and the newspapers are printing stories that are all about the doom of Canada.

      I'm apparently one of the staffers. Mulcair seems nice, even though (in the dream) he has a reputation of being quite cold and ruthless.

      ---

      There's a family similar to the Queens in the first season of Arrow. The younger sister is angry and hurt because she's being deliberately shunned by another member of the family. They're in public, but she runs away from the group anyway, despite the paparazzi that are around. Some of them follow her, and she ducks into a seller's tent that is inside the mall to hide from them.

      Later, a group of us are in an elevator. I'm examining the multiple security cameras, which apparently aren't operational because the family demands a lot of privacy.

      There's a problem with the elevator. On the main floor, about half of us pile out quickly before the doors slam shut behind us and the elevator quickly starts going back up. The technician is working on the elevator so that it will come back down and let the other people out.

      I briefly see the person that I reported to directly in a job that didn't work out very well earlier this year.

      Beyonce is performing inside the mall.

      ---

      I'm a teenager having a sleepover. We're all girls. There are three of us. One of the girls might not have asked her parents if she actually was allowed to sleep over.

      We talk about how one of the girls really didn't like the imagination game that we were playing. I said that maybe we should play Gargoyles or something. She asks if that's a computer game? I say no, we could just pretend we were gargoyles, that would be more exciting than pretending we were in school (or that we were having a sleepover?)

      That girl goes home in the morning. I ask her to tell her brother to call me (while making the "call me" hand gesture.)

      ---

      There's narration, and a set. I'm both in the story itself and the story is being filmed. It's all about a whole bunch of "darker" characters interacting with one another. One of the characters who exists in the light is fascinated by the idea of talking to a couple of the characters who stay in the shadows.
    8. Dream Snippets- NORMAL

      by , 08-13-2015 at 03:36 PM (DreamLab Njegere)
      Not very good recall these past two nights. Perhaps I'll shut my window, see if that helps. Also I'm upping my reality checks. I have the finger through hand, the pinched nose, and the mirror, and I'll be adding blue sky, looking at a clock, and an "A" on my hand. I'm using the MILD technique. Fell asleep chanting "I'll have a lucid dream tonight" last night.

      I see a mountain top with a tower built sloping outward as it rises, so that the whole thing looks vaguely like a natural hourglass. A blimp is tethered to the tower. Something vaguely steampunk about it, I can't say what. I'm sitting somewhere looking at this scene wondering where the people I want are. William Shatner says he just loves the touch of a good woman. Creep.

      -+-

      A dream about being in a car while someone is jump starting it. I give a thumbs up as all the interior lights come on.

      -+-

      Something about a rodent in disguise.

      -+-

      I am looking out over the sea at night. A dark headlight glitters with the lights of a city to my right, a city on a promontory. In the middle of the scene breakers slam against a shore. The dream shifts to me looking for a reproduction of a certain Dr. Who episode. Tom Baker, the fourth Doctor, swims in my vision briefly and then disappears. I'm searching a fancy room with large white pillars and yellow wallpaper and a nice wooden floor. Dream shifts again... a book opens and a fairy is sprinkling dust on a red-headed man in armor.

      -+-

      My mother and I are running through all these secret passages. We open a trapdoor and find ourselves in a rest room. A man in a black suit and fancy shoes is in a stall. I don't want him to see us, so we retreat back down into the secret passageway and close the trapdoor and wait for him to leave.

    9. Clothing

      by , 08-13-2015 at 03:09 PM (Lucid Time!)
      This dream was actually from a couple of days ago, (Can't quite remember what day.) during the time that I wasn't posting. But I figured that since I had no dream recall this morning since I stayed up a little too late that I would use this time and motivation to post this dream.

      I was at a clothing store attending some kind of fashion show. Both men and women were displaying outfits. Sadly they were not particularly dreamlike, entertaining or cool for the most part. Nothing that I recalled.

      I then remember this one woman who was showing off a red dress. She was middle aged and not the most attractive, past her prime. I began wishing that she were more attractive, and to my suprise, she started to change to a younger version of herself. She started doing some kind of dance shaking her hips. I wanted her to stop and go away, and she did.

      I realized my control over the woman was due to the fact that I was dreaming. The fashion show went away and Manei appeared. She was wearing this cute pink top and asked for my opinion on it.

      “I like it. Do you think I could get one in my size and in black?”

      *confused look*

      The dream shifted to the front driveway of my house. The theme of clothing continued, though. I was offered several choices of outfits. One of them was a blue suit and tie. Pass. Another was a white martial arts uniform. Better. It changes to green. Awesome, but it has all of these patches/awards sewn on it. I couldn’t make them go away.

      I changed myself into a black martial arts uniform.

      “No, Jade! No more black!”

      “But why tho?”

      “Black is the color of evil and shadow.”

      I spoke back to her in the language of thought. No it is not. I always think of black as infinity. In taekwondo, the black belt represents the infinite universe that is all that is left to be explored. Someone who is of the highest level. And even if I’m not the highest level of lucid dreamer, giving myself a little confidence boost couldn’t hurt…

      Besides you agreed we would stop being controlling over one another...

    10. Become Close

      by , 08-13-2015 at 03:05 PM (Visual Space)
      Hello

      Haven't been on in a couple months, mostly because of new beginnings in my life and stuff, and starting to change myself into becoming better. This also lead me into not practicing Lucid dreaming so now I'm a novice again, trying to get it back.

      Last night, it was a non lucid, however, this one hit my heart. It was a nice short dream that I like to share for how cute it was.

      It started with me on a school bus heading back to a school. It was a very long ride so I'm just looking out the window listening to music. I look around to see people moving from seat to seat. I take headphones off and begin to see what's going on. kids are tasked to get partners to which I thought it was grouping for a activity. It was actually, loving partners.

      So I get up and stretch and a girl across from me stares at me. She was a beautiful blonde girl with a colorful outfit. I sit next to her to say hi and she just gives a cute smile. The girl, her friend, and I begin to talk and the friend wants to know why I just sat next to her. Naturally I'm a sociable person so I just used that as a excuse. Mainly, however, I just wanted to know what was happening.

      Me and the girl began to talk about anything and just having a good time. After figuring out the whole "activity" I told her I just wanted to talk to her and not for the whole partnership thing, to which she smiled. By this time, a lot of people were partnered up, except for several. As we began to get closer to our destination, the girl asks can I be her partner, and gives me a diamond. I said yes and we hugged.

      for the bus ride, we just cuddled and talk while her friend just gives cute remarks in excitement. apparently a lot of guys asked this girl and she said no. She told me I genuinely conversed with her which is why she asked, and the diamond was to represent our new found relationship for eternity. The dream gets sort of hazy towards the end but I just remember arriving at that school, realizing her school was merging with mine, and they were an all girl school and mines was all men. The teachers wanted us to have "love" as to get along, where as me and the girl were in love. I remember us holding hands laughing as we approach the doors.

      It was beautiful and cute. It was mainly seeing this build-up of me getting close to this girl and slowly developing this intimate relationship. It felt great when this "human communication" (I use quotes cause it's a dream lol) was taking it's course naturally. It was a nice dream for a change as lately, most dreams have been chaotic. It was just nice to see a normal loving dream

      I'm going to personally try to be on more often this time and record dreams. I hope you liked this one.
    11. improvising

      by , 08-13-2015 at 02:40 PM
      Dreamed that i was improvising with Alec and a bunch of others guys at an audition. Sarah was there watching us all. We were playing this game first were everyone would go around in a circle and copy the next guy. the first guy to go put a ball in his mouth, a little ping pong ball that is. i tried to copy but my mouth wouldn't open wide enough. the next game everyone walked over to a closet and pretended to come out as a monster. alec was before me and he came out as some monster that i can't remember. i found my my monster by sticking my left arm out and beginning to walk with a limp, i don't know exactly what i was maybe and evil scientist. i kept saying "yes ...hehehehehk eyes" and limping around creepily. Everyone laughed. i sat shook off the character and sat down. sarah was laughing which made me happy because it meant i did a good job and would maybe make it on the team.

      before all this happened i was at a party with my sister i think. i didn't know everyone there.

      before that i was driving around the mountain dirt roads with someone having a good time.

      then later in the dream i had to drive through the same mountains but with my mom and she was freaking out about everything and really annoying me. i did not enjoy the drive as much

      later i went back to the same parter my sister was at but with some girl.

      I at someone's house and they said JoshA was coming over. I was a bit nervous, considering we haven't seen each other in a while. I greet him and break the nerves by asking him about a computer game I was playing. I think i remember seeing his mrs.
    14. Big Party, J & Jon Stewart

      by , 08-13-2015 at 01:20 PM
      Beware: somewhat mature content below.

      Very long NLD in which I hang out with old friends & family for a long time in various places. J is kind of down because she keeps feeling out of place without me because I keep running off to hang with other people. I want to hang out with J, too, but everyone keeps splitting up to different places. At some point I see M and want to hang out with/woo him, but decide against it. This whole thing turns into a party at J's parents' house with all of our family there and all of our friends from that time/place. The back yard is different and doesn't have a pool anymore. There are probably hundreds of people there. I walk around, amazed. I don't recognize probably 80% of the people because everyone invited their own friends, too. People of all ages are there, but not many very old people besides direct family. I run around this scene, inside and outside of the house, for quite a while. Losing and regaining J several times. A lot of this was very vivid, but there's too much to recount and too little time. So eventually, I'm walking up and down this long setup out in the yard. The "setup" is a bunch of garden plots with what looks like corn growing in them in different, weird ways. Jon Stewart is there, walking up and down the line in a grey suit, explaining to everyone how each plot works. I come to find out that these plants are all actually marijuana. I end up right next to Jon as he demonstrates one of the plot setups to me. There's some kind of small, natural stream winding through this one and there's a pipe going over it. All around this are tall corn-like weed plants. Jon tells me that once the plants are established, they build up very thickly around the banks of the water, creating a high-yield situation. He starts ripping plants away to expose very thick, close-together stalks. I'm super impressed by this and I express my admiration. Jon gives a friendly response, but his face belies his general exhaustion and upset-ness at the world's problems. I try to make small talk, but he clams up, so I walk off. I end up far away in a fancy store in the city. I recognize no one and become sad because I've lost J. I'm about to text her when I see her walk in the door with Sh and K. J and I run off alone together, galavanting through the aisles of clothes like fools, freaking out all of the rich ladies that are there shopping. I start chanting, "Fancy, fancy, fancy, fancy!" and J starts chanting along with me. Eventually I leave, alone again. Next thing I remember is watching weird videos online with J and Sh and somebody else. There's some videos of drunk people doing stupid crap, then one comes up of some youngish guys in a weird room all dancing around. They're just wearing cut off shirts and nothing else, but their bottoms are blurred out. The room reminds me of a glorified garage. There's a big table in the middle and cabinets around the sides which have been painted bright green and pink. Somehow I enter into this video and become lucid. I start exploring the house and I talk to some of the guys and wave to the camera that was filming before, making a silly face and wondering if people will see me on the video later lol.. stupid. I make my way to the front of the house and find two ladies cuddled up together in a big bed by the front door. There were kids in some of the rooms, that's important. I talk to them and they seem awesome. One of them disappears almost immediately and I remain talking to the other. I say something to her like, "You got it made, girl! You got [something I can't remember] (we high-five), penis (we high-five harder, laughing), and kids! Kids are cool, right?" We high-five one last time. I know this chick is highly lesbo and was with that other chick, and now she's coming onto me. She walks towards me, pushing me back against a wall. I'm much taller than her and that way I'm looming over her kinda turns me on, too.. I am starting to lose control, so I say to her that I'd love to, but I don't want to lose lucidity before I do any tasks. (Finally thought of them.. jeez) But she doesn't move, only smiles and leans up for a kiss. I lean down a little before stopping myself, but then can't help but grab her butt a little. It's way more realistic than I'd expected and it breaks my brain. I end up dragging her around with me, trying to find a way out of the house, only to find myself trapped and alone again in some dark, cramped hallways.

    15. Mansion dream I guess: The Return

      by , 08-13-2015 at 12:04 PM
      I remember the dream begins me in Katie's house (using people's names for the sake of my own memory) and there were two TVs, one in front facing the couch and one to the side of the couch. The one on the side was being used and it was the larger TV. I remember having false memories of watching that TV while playing on a laptop, and I watched them mess with the larger TV to try and get it to work. I also remember wondering why they don't switch TVs so you wouldn't have to look to the side to watch TV. And there was a nasty part... I remember having several pins (i guess they were more akin to nails) stuck under my skin and I could see them through the holes they made. I remember fishing them out... thaaaat was gross. While I was doing that someone mentioned something about the mongols.

      Fast forward and now we're at my aunt wendy's house except it's our house. My dad has someone over in his master bedroom and then they leave. I'm talking to my dad in the living room and we hear something weird coming from his room... it's a voice. My dad goes and looks for something under my bed... with the lights off in my room for some reason so I decide to use the flashlight on my tablet. He finds it but I stay behind a few seconds because I have a REAAALLY hard time turning off the flashlight, I keep accidentally turning it back on. I finally give up and leave. It turns out it is just a bunch of dolls on his ceiling fan (first it was one and then a lot more appeared before me but dream me didn't see this as weird). It was the guy my dad had over who did it and we took them down.

      Fast forward again and we're going to this older man's mansion for some reason, it's on a hill. The distinct parts I remember were his sliding glass window and how it had a couch facing looking out of the sliding glass door. Outside there was a bar on patio and there was a pool, this was all at the bottom of the hill. We went in his house at one point... talked... whatever, I think we were doing some job for him? This guy I know named Castro was there, too. We rode in his white car, it was a bit messy on the inside, and had stained seats. I remember driving and seeing the bay near where I live. Later we return on some huge 12-wheel vehicle, and I'm thinking the rich man is going to be upset we're driving this huge thing on his lawn so I jump off but I look back and it just has tiny metal wheels, like one on a little red wagon. We talked to him but I walked off. I was going in the mansion for some reason, but I saw human luna and someone else sitting on that couch through the sliding glass window and for some reason just turned back, lol. I went and sat at the bar down there across from human rarity and I could see the other human versions of the mane 6 in the background. We talked about... something. That's all I remember
