    1. DJ#133: Be'lakor, Investment and Competition

      by , 04-03-2016 at 10:45 PM (BlairBros' Adventures)
      3/4/16:
      Dream 1: There was some sort of competition between the country and city teams, I'm not sure what it was though.

      Dream 2: I was reading a review of the new Be'lakor album, which was apparently a two part concept album. The review said that the first disk was fantastic, 4.5/5, however the second disk was really mellow and experimental but it didn't work super well so he only gave it 2/5.

      Dream 3: I was trying to invest in this new super massive company. I was at a little booth trying to buy some shares but they wouldn't let me because too many people had already done so. I was a bit annoyed so I decided to instead invest in a rival company to try and topple the new one's dominance.

      Dream 4: I was sort of replaying an old video game, or at least that was the impression the dream gave me. The details are gone now but it did go on for quite a while.

      Dream 5: A university was embroiled in a massive cheating scandal. A whole class was getting super low marks across the board in the exams but in class they were all doing super well, so a press conference was called to address this issue.

      Dream 6: Similar to the last dream but from a different sleep period, A university was caught trying to bump up their average marks to try and attract more and better students.

    2. #221 - Titans

      by , 04-03-2016 at 10:20 PM (The Oneironaut's Odyssey)
      Dream
      I was in my house with my dad, it was dark and I was trying to show him something on a game called Age of Mythology: The Titans Expansion. I was pointing out how to win the game, you'd need a titan and that titans, being the strongest unit, end up deciding whether or not you win the game. He kept pissing me off because his hand kept touching mine and it was in the way. I told him to f off, he wasn't doing it one purpose but I didn't want to touch him. Everytime I try to show him the titans in the game (we're watching some cinematic intro thing) he misses the titan that appears. I finally get him to look and he sees it, before he was comparing it to some movie that had titans in it. They're doing epic stuff, I remember one belonging to the Egyptians and it was a sphinx I think. There was another that made a huge tidal wave, belonging to Poseidon. I was trying to get across to my dad that Oranos had the strongest titan due to an upgrade you can get which allows him to regenerate really fast and have more health + damage than other titans (this is a real thing in the game, I made a rule with my friend that we couldn't play him because it's just too OP -.-).
    3. Task of the Month for April 2016

      by , 04-03-2016 at 09:52 PM
      VERY, VERY BIG IMPORTANT NOTE (DATED ON APRIL 1ST):

      Many people have been found cheating and requesting wings from fake dreams. We checked through the dreamworld, and many of those never happened. So unfortunately, we must close the ToTM tasks starting May 2016... A new voting thread will be opened tomorrow in regards of future ideas to earn your wings


      Yup, April's Fools




      NEW: Do you have a Task of the Month suggestion that you would love to get chosen?
      Now you have the chance to suggest new tasks of the month by clicking the
      Future Task of the Month Suggestion Thread.
      If you complete a current TOTM, you will be able to vote on suggestions for the next month!


      Introduction:
      This topic is for the Lucid Tasks that are assigned by the Lucid Task Club and the On-Topic Administrator. Please attempt any or all of these tasks throughout the month.

      Report back in this thread, even if you didn't successfully accomplish the task. Your efforts should make interesting reading! This is required in order to get credit, it is no longer sufficient just to say that you did it.

      Very important

      When you complete a task: Go to your control panel, then to permission groups, and request to be in the group that applies to the task that you've done: either a basic or an advanced or both (specify in the description field if it was the bonus task). Of course you still need to post the dream here because we check. Please, make sure you post here your attempts both failures and successes, this will make this post much more dynamic and it will make OpheliaBlue/Gab ´s winging delivering much easier. It will be very appreciated!


      Whoever completes any of these tasks gets the following goodies until the end of the month:
      • Your name will be displayed in ORANGE in the online members list at the bottom of the main forum page.
      • You will receive a special title and badge.
      • You will receive access to the "Lucid Task Club" which is a limited access forum for people that complete a lucid task each month. Members of this club can vote for submitted suggestions for the next month's tasks. Access to the Lucid Task Club will also grant you early access to the next month's tasks, giving you a 2-3 day window to keep your wings for the following month.

      Tasks for this month:

      Basic Task i - Eat an object that is not considered edible. Describe the flavour. (Shockabsorber)
      Basic Task ii - Play Spin the Bottle or Seven Minutes in Heaven with a group of DCs. (litlepooky04)

      BONUS TASK!! - Visit Middle Earth and attend a Hobbit celebration. (Stintman)

      I'm gonna try this.
    4. Not sure what this is called but I'd like to know if it is called something. Is this chaining?

      by , 04-03-2016 at 09:21 PM
      Dream #1: I started the dream w/ being in a group of ppl at a polical event for Hillary Clinton & I was supposed to be applying for some kind of position. Then my cat woke me up again & I lazily fed her & peed & laid back down(less than 5 minutes) & tried to get back into the dream.
      Dream #2: This dream started immediately when I laid back down. I still had the last dream fresh in my head. I left off from where I had woken up but now we are going through a wing of this location where there are ER Rooms. It's like a big complex. And nothing really occurred except we were in there talking. Ppl were still trying to convince me to work for Hillary & since I don't like her I'm debating this because the money is good.

      Is this chaining? I've done this for years so it just seems like some form of normal for me. Sometimes more than this. Usually it's due to the content of the dream which I'm enjoying & just want to dream more of this. But this time I wanted to go back in because I just wanted to see what would happen since I wasn't really enjoying it & it worked.

      Today, I managed to get into a WILD state. I also remembered one other dream besides that one, though not as much of it as I should.

      Created Friday 01 April 2016

      Haven't been having the best of days recently, which, in turn, adversely affected my focus and recall-ability. A few good dreams occurred in between, so it's not all bad.

      On the first of this month, I remembered about three or four dreams dreams, though I only remember scraps for most of these.

    8. Selkie

      by , 04-03-2016 at 03:56 PM (Here be dragons)
      I'm on a beach under a grey sky. The sea is green and churning, with a lot of thick foam. The sand is grey and rough, packed hard and cold under my feets. There's a heavy wind, the smell of the sea rushing around. There's a woman and a man here, in a hushed argument. Both are brown haired, the woman with a sloppy ponytail and the man with a shaggy cut. The woman is hugging something to her chest and the man is begging, his sweet, open face full of sadness and longing. She steps away from him and drop what she was hugging into the water, kicking it away in the waves. It's a pelt, a grey, shiny seal pelt, and it's melting in the sea, turning into seamfoam under the waves. The man, the selkie, is devastated, torn by the lost. He hugs himself, head low and shoulders hunched. I go to him, touching his arms lightly, try to confort him. He looks up to me, and his soft, milky skin is tanning at an accelerated pace, covering itself with layers unpon layers of heavy freckles, his cheeks reddening like the begining of a sunburn. I touch his jaw, his skin is hot and feverish. He takes my hands in his and his fingers are cold and wet.

    9. A strange dream.

      by , 04-03-2016 at 03:00 PM
      Some kind of supernatural woman whom has been in a deep sleep for a very long time suddenly wakes up from her slumber and realizes that she is inside a coffin and is moving about as if she was in the middle of the sea. She bursts through the coffin easily (she has superhuman strength) and looks about her bewildered.

      [ a big break in my memory ]

      The woman ends up in a extremely bloody battle and kills tens of hard trained soldiers in mere minutes. During the battle she had entered some kind of frenzy / trance and she remained in this state for a long time. For such a long time that she ends up slaughtering hundreds more. She ends up casting a dark shadow of gloom and fear over the whole world she lives in, untill she meets a young child. This child (maybe 10 years old) somehow ends up wrapping his arms around the woman and seems completely fearless, even though he knows she is a killer. The woman becomes baffled and asks the child why he`s doing this.

      The child responds "because your the one who needs this the most."

      The woman suddenly "wakes up" from her trance of blood lust and anger. She becomes overwhelmed and crippled from a mix of emotions, mainly guilt. She eventually decides to do everthing in her power to try and mend the wrongs she had committed. She would start with this one child, whoms parents, unknown to the boy, she had killed.

      [ a break in memory ]

      Years pass by and the womans new child becomes a strong willed and good natured lad. Though through his years he had harboured one single dark side to his otherwise compassionate and happy self, his need for revenge. Revenge for the killings of his parents and revenge for the memory of holding his lifeless and cold loved ones, this memory was still burned so deeply into his psyche that he remembered everything in stark detail.

      One day the womans past comes to haunt her in the form of her old coffin. The coffin, which was the color of dark green and had strange symbols etched into its sides and lid, had moved with the waves of the ocean for all these years, chasing its owner. The woman was cursed and her time had run out. Her imprisonment called for her, called for her to once again be sealed into the coffin, to once again be driven into madness and then unleashed into the world, thus continuing the never ending cycle of death and destruction, for eternity.

      She tried to resist the power and pull of the coffin, she tried to resist the translucent ghosts that were crouding around her, tempting and hacking her mind with dark thoughts, trying to force her to change into the killer she once was. She was slowly moving closer to her doom, step by hovering step. Her boy stared at her with wide eyes, he now knew it was she who had murdered his parents. He had seen his parents in the form of ghosts for a fleeting moment, quickly fanishing like the thousands and thousands of other swirling ghosts.

      "I know you cant forgive me. I will accept my fate.", she announced with surprising confidence. She started to move towards the coffin with greater speed, but she suddenly stopped. Her son had wrapped his arms around her, yet again, just like all those years ago he said "your the one who needs this the most."

      Her curse broke.

    10. The WILD dream

      by , 04-03-2016 at 11:38 AM
      We where in old down town, a very old town but there was one problem everyone seemed to have their own problem. The thing about this dream is that if you knew how to WILD your where good as dead. Lots of people fighting, running, screaming,jumping! I came up with an old friend again in a previous dream who was chasing me and i would bump into me of times. I woke up, I felt the dream fade, I kept my eyes still and body still and wanted to perform a DEILD but I stumbledand didn't know how to 're enter. Back asleep I go, awake one again, I was with all my old friends again but this time I was more violent, I was goin through the past with the people I've hurt

    11. Scrooge McDuck’s Airplane

      by , 04-03-2016 at 10:03 AM
      Morning of April 3, 2016. Sunday.



      I am present in a three-dimensional animated setting yet I do not perceive it as representing a cartoon or featuring cartoon characters. Scrooge McDuck has a large new airplane. Huey, Dewey, and Louie are present and look on at him in puzzlement regarding his “car repair” activities. We are apparently in the basement of one of his mansions.

      It seems that Scrooge McDuck does not know that he has an airplane and instead thinks that he has a large fancy car. As a result, he thinks that the “car” could use a lot of work. This includes taking the propeller off the front as well as sawing off the wings.

      In the end, it seems that he still might find it a bit difficult to drive the “car” up the stairs.



      The basement setting is autosymbolic of having been in deeper sleep prior to RAS mediation commencing.

      The staircase is precursory autosymbolism that represents the liminal anticipation of the waking process, in this case, going up the staircase to achieve consciousness.

      Scrooge McDuck as my preconscious avatar, rendered to correlate with the waking process dynamics, is in the usual preconscious scenario of resolving the vestibular system correlation inherent to the dream state, which is based on resolving the illusory physicality of the dream self. Both an airplane and a car typically represent the physical body in sleep as a factor of vestibular system correlation, but as an airplane flies, the transformation is autosymbolic of resolving that the real physical body is in bed, with the anticipation of the falling sensation typically experienced as a biological factor of the waking process no longer present.

      With this dream type, my preconscious avatar has the essence of the emergent consciousness factor, which is shared by the potential of the car going up the stairs.

    12. DJ#132: On Camp

      by , 04-03-2016 at 09:04 AM (BlairBros' Adventures)
      2/4/16:
      (Dreams from this morning so recall wont have too flash detail this late)
      Dream 1: The people on camp and I were swinging from ropes.

      Dream 2: I was in a cooking class about how to make bread. We made these square loaves which we put in a tin and in the oven to bake. I was talking with the instructor and asking them if it was normal for there to be flour left on the outside, and he said something like it depended on whether the crust was hard or soft. I think the bread turned out to be soft and spongey and quite nice, a little like Turkish bread.

      Dream 3: I was either entering a train or a library, I'm not sure, and I was looking for a seat. I found one and went to sit in it and found myself sitting next to a girl I had asked out. We both met gazes and smiled awkwardly. We were silent for a bit, but then we started talking and it was clear she was still friendly towards me. I made her listen to one of my favourite songs and she seemed to like it. I think some other stuff happened after this but I've forgotten.

      Dream 4: The people on the camp and I were involved in a business training session of some kind. We were in pairs and trying to persuade the other about all sorts of various topics.

    13. #220 - Gingerbread man / Waterfall

      by , 04-03-2016 at 07:23 AM (The Oneironaut's Odyssey)
      I wrote this up earlier and forgot to post so I'm just going to write up a very brief version...

      Dream 1 - Gingerbread man
      Evil doctor gets put in a sarcophagus by these teenagers who wanted to act as the hand of justice. I'm an investigator and try to find him, I enter the crypt where he's supposed to be and find one of his evil experiments (a zombie). I'm in a room and the zombie is now a small gingerbread man with a missing leg. A delivery man enters and sits down, I tell him not to because the gingerbread man is under the table, it bites him and he gets infected. I try find it but it's missing, which means it's learned to crawl. Me and the man turn to look at one another and share the same thought of "Oh shit... It's... LEARNING?!?".

      Dream 2 - Waterfall
      I'm on a field trip with a bunch of people, it's a nice sunny day. We're on the side of a road taking a lunch break, there's a waterfall which everyone is keen to jump off but it's too high. A guy told me that my friend Daniel jumped off with goggles, I knew he was lying. I go find my friend Daniel and he tells me he didn't jump, he's also surrounded by girls. Everyone is now heading to jump off the waterfall (it's not too big anymore but it still is.. So it doesn't make sense). I catch up to the people at the back, one of them is a different Daniel I know. We're about to cross the railway, a train is coming so we have to wait while the rest of the class goes ahead. Now there's an obstacle course thing we're navigating, I lose Daniel and this other guy I was following and they hop onto a minecart. I just manage to spot them before they disappear into a wooden tunnel ride. I follow on foot and duck my head to crawl through the entrance. Eventually I catch up and I get pissy, "Where is the waterfall?!?! It was right in front of us so what the fuck is going on?!".
      I didn't really understand it was a dream I guess.

      I went to sleep again today around 11am, I just felt so comfy and tired and my cat cuddled up to me for a while. I had a similar dream again.. The same idea of trying to get something but not being able to do. It should be right in front of me but just keeps getting further away. Weird, I've only really just noticed that my dreams have a sort of underlying story theme. I'll try pay more attention to this I guess.
    14. 3/4/2016

      by , 04-03-2016 at 06:29 AM
      1) I was in a class and was asked to read. I looked at the page and couldn't understand the writing, looked back and it had changed. I knew immediately that I was dreaming, but looked at a hand to check and it looked very odd. For some reason I remember then thinking "I'm dreaming" but it shouldn't be like this, and lost lucidity immediately. I was then in a playground and I can't remember anything else from that dream.

      2) Looking back over a skyline and seeing a tennis court with 2 high chairs at each end. Then I was playing football with a boy with a tennis ball.

      3) Looking at a clockface, it was raised and golden. The clock was really old and in a wooden case. I was fiddling with the mechanism and adjusting how fast the clock was going. Then I was with someone else and it was like being in school we had to collect our drawings from the week, I collected a few they were some that I remember my children drawing when they were younger. Then I was in a university canteen chosing lunch. I looked at all the food and remember it in detail. There was a vegetarian moussaka, a girl sitting to the side had her elbow in the salad of the one I wanted and I was abit annoyed that she was touching it but decided to have it anyway. The serving lady said I had to eat the salad first then she would heat up the moussake. I ate the salad then she took it away to put it in a microwave. I looked at the time and notice dthat I had an appointment and couldn't be late so rushed off and didn't have time to eat. Other things happened that I can't remember. Then I was outside an old people's home and someone had been put into an ambulance thatset off on blue lights, it didn't go very fast and I was discussing with someone about why they bothered using blue lights.

      4) I was stood by the front door of my childhood home. There were two black panthers outside, and I was struggling to lock the door so they couldn't come in. Then my family arrived home in the car, I could see my wife looking at the panthers. A young man was then fighting with one of them, he was losing and he was bleeding heavily from his neck. My family came over to the door with the young man, they were talking at the front door rather than getting in and I started kicking one of the panthers. I think I woke up then.

    15. Moon Puppies

      by , 04-03-2016 at 03:13 AM
      I had a false awakening, I knew I was dreaming because I heard voices from a TV/radio. It was very hard for me to get out of my bed, my body was moving very slow. I kept focusing and once I got out, I walked out my room towards the front door. I counted my fingers on my right hand and their were 6 of them. I went outside and started flying to the right. I then was flying up, and I could actually see myself as I was jumping up, I wasn't wearing a shirt.

      Next thing I know, I fall down and I'm on the surface of the moon. I started to fly around, I saw some building, they looked like they were made from moon rock. I landed and wanted to go inside one. Then a bunch of moon puppies started chasing me. They were all blue and looked liked skeleton dogs. They reminded me of skinny ryhorns, from Pokemon.
