12/8/12 (L) Value: 2 | Command For Lights
I can only remember one part. I became lucid for a few seconds while I was standing on the deck during some night, and I commanded all the lights to turn on everywhere.

12/14/12 (L) Value: 2 | Frisbee
Out in the Egyptian desert with the Pyramids, there was a HUGE sun statue in a small bowl next to the sphinx that was actually standing up. “That’s right, one gigantic f*****g headshot.” NCS threw the sun at the sphinx, and suddenly I was then playing Frisbee….in almost complete darkness. I’m like, “not this again!” Visibility=3ft, dark brown fog. “I wish this dream was a real, LUCID dream!” I said that because I was tired of the darkness. Sure enough, the darkness instantly lifted, I became LUCID, I felt the environment, everything became 100% vivid, and I could consciously play Frisbee. Before, I felt nothing. Now, I could feel everything, even the wind, except for my footsteps. I was lucid for the remainder of that dream. Playing Frisbee with some old friends and being lucid, I decided not to go shapeshifting, but to have a lot of fun with Frisbee. When I was nearly done, I set the Frisbee on fire when I threw it.

10/11/12 | Wooden Framework Assignment
I started at this school, and went to this construction room, where all of the students built additions to a small “castle,” as they called it. It was made of wood, so it kind of sucked. Some had their additions finished early. I was just putting together some framework. Other than that, I never had any clear instruction.

10/??/12 | Caravan Tornado
I dreamt I saw my very first tornado. It was very smooth and destroyed our caravan.

-1-Inside a huge house I found a spare bedroom between two very large rooms with dark, hardwood floors and very high ceilings. Later, I was playing Kirby Air Ride with the Rocket Star on a flat desert map. The map was made of Minecraft sand blocks, with a sparse grid of cacti. I don’t remember what I completed on it. At one point, I watched Numberphile do some cool math stuff with the factors of 88.

-2-I was at this school, at which I was supposed to be in a class. I explored around instead. Here, there were all the basic subjects taught, along with different extra classes taught by people with opposing political views. There were signs around that pointed to those.
[New Scene]
Birds of prey were inside my Minecraft base, wanting to eat a smaller character there. Also, that character wanted to eat a larger group of even smaller characters hanging out around the base. The situation was never resolved.
[New Scene]
I was driving a vehicle where I had to hang on to a bar above me and control pedals with my feet, as if I were controlling a car. However, there was no outer shell; it only had what it needed to run. How I steered was a mystery. Lyra Heartstrings was in the passenger seat. Around me was black and brown rocky, volcanic landscape until I arrived at a guarded building. We got out of the car and tried to leave, but they wanted Lyra to stay. I left, but then returned a couple minutes later. Twilight was standing next to Lyra when I got back, and the men were no longer pointing guns. I think there was a puzzle that needed solving.

Full Moonlight

I am in a place I don’t recognize. It’s a rather beautiful place, a forested area near a running stream. The sun is shining high in the sky and it is very pleasant now. I walk along the stream for a while, just enjoying the scenery. As I make my way up the river I see someone on the banks, it looks like he is washing something in the river. I get closer and he stands up, I see he is a hobbit. He looks over and sees me, and I clearly gave him a bit of a startle. He jumps back a bit and then stares at me for a bit longer before finally saying my name. “Raven? How did you get here?” He says he never thought anyone would find them way out here, have I been following them the whole time? I tell him no, I just show up when I’m needed. I look up from the stream and spot a stream of smoke rising. I remember from the book that the smoke was from Sam’s cooking fire, but I pretend I know nothing. I point at the smoke and tell Sam that some fool has started a fire out here, it’ll draw every orc in the vicinity if we don’t put it out. Sam looks at the smoke and drops an expletive before running up the hill towards the fire.

I follow Sam up the hill but I stop when I hear a whistle from a different direction. It sounds like a person imitating a bird, but I can’t tell for sure. I go farther up the hill but I stop when I hear voices up ahead. I peek past some concealing trees and see several men standing around Frodo and Sam. Apparently, they have met up with Faramir. I watch them from a hidden place, my Assassin’s robes lend themselves to keeping me concealed. I watch them for a bit and then Faramir is telling Frodo and Sam that they have to intercept an army of humans that have come to join the ranks of the Dark Lord. I wonder if those people are truly evil or if maybe Sauron has done something to corrupt them, maybe I should try to heal them before the battle between them and Faramir’s people starts and then a lot of people will get killed perhaps needlessly. I want to reach the enemy forces before they engage in battle with Faramir’s people, so I quietly move away from my current location, continuing up until I come to the road that Frodo and Sam have been following. Since the enemies were coming from the south, that is where I need to head in order to intercept them, so I head along the road to the south.

I haven’t gone far along the road before I see the enemy approaching me. They don’t seem to notice me until they are virtually on top of me. One of the men towards the front gives off a laugh and says I’m walking on the wrong road. He laughs more, but I ignore him completely and run directly into the middle of their ranks. Since that was the last thing they were expecting, no one stops me. I focus on the song Full Moonlight from the Devil Hunter Yohko anime soundtrack. (Link to YouTube song: ) The song plays through, an orb of light energy forms in the air over my head, it looks like a moon spinning around, throwing off waves of light energy. I am spinning and dancing underneath the orb, sending off more light energy, and all of the warriors around me are standing and staring in stunned silence, they don’t seem to know what to do. I see that some of the people in the enemy forces are on the backs of massive elephants. I continue the song, wanting to make sure and get some of the healing energy to the people on the elephants, and the elephants as well if they have also been corrupted. Soon the entire area is flowing with the golden energy coming out of the moon-like orb, and the people look rather disoriented. I am hearing people questioning what they’re doing here, and saying they don’t really want to go to war for someone who has never done anything for them or their families. One of them says they have to go on or there will be retribution. I tell one man who seems to be a leader that if they’re worried about Sauron attacking them to get revenge, there would be no need. Sauron will never get the chance to hurt anyone else. He seems to believe me, maybe the energy filling the area helped convince him.

I see there are some people seeking to continue, but most are turning back now. I figure Faramir’s people can handle the few that continue. Except… a few of the people on elephants are continuing, but I don’t want the elephants to get hurt, so I form an Alex Mercer blade of my right arm and cut their riding howdahs right off the backs of the elephants by cutting through the straps holding them in place. The huge structures fall from the elephants and crash to the ground. Now riderless, the elephants also turn around and head back towards the south, towards their homes. I disappear into the trees again, not sure if anyone saw me go or not. I slowly make my way back to where I saw Frodo and Sam with Faramir and some of his people only to find they are gone. I wonder where they have gone off to. I wonder if they saw any part of my little light show, maybe they took off. I try to think of what happens next in the book but right now my mind is getting a bit fuzzy, it is hard to focus on any one idea for long. As I am still trying to make my mind focus on one thing everything around me starts fading. Everything around me fades to black and I wake up.

Quest for Knowledge

I am playing a virtual reality video game, not giving any thought to the idea I might be dreaming. I look around to see where I am and I am wondering how I can check to see what the current quest objective is. My character is a sorceress / user of light magic and energy. I have the idea I have just started recently, however, so my level isn’t very high yet. I am hoping I won’t have to face any powerful enemies right away. I head down a long hall that looks like it might be a part of a castle. I have the idea I will find out my current quest goals when I find whoever is at the other end of the hall. I get there and find a man there who looks like he might be a captain of the guards. He says there is a sorcerer trying to gain access to the royal libraries, and that would be disastrous because some of the most powerful spells ever created are written there and if the sorcerer learns to use them there will be no way to stop him. The man leads me to a strange looking door that opens with a lever. He says there is a trick to it, but they have reason to believe the sorcerer knows the trick. I ask how it opens. He says he doesn’t know, and he couldn’t tell me even if he did. I wonder how I’m supposed to protect what I can’t access. The guard says he has to go do his rounds.

Shortly after the guard leaves a creepy looking guy shows up. I have the idea he is the sorcerer who is trying to access the library. The room is large, and he hasn’t seen me yet. I am thinking it looks like he is too high a level for me to fight, but I have to try. He sees me and he attacks me with a fireball. I deflect that and hit him with a bolt of lightning. He wasn’t strong after all, and he dies, saying his master will avenge him. I am thinking if the boss comes I won’t be ready for that. How can I keep that guy out of the library when I can’t even get in? I go look at the lever and mess with it a bit, nothing happens. Then I get a thought and pull harder until the lever comes off in my hand. I chuckle, thinking I’d like to see the idiot open it without the doorknob. I hear someone coming and I hide. An evil looking man comes to the door and looks at the hole where the lever use to be, acting frustrated. He curses a couple times and then goes away. So I guess he wasn’t so smart after all. Everything fades out and I wake up.

Task of the Month

Franz and I are on our way to the house, where we want to install a remote readout. It consists of a main house, in which I go, and on the left, a long hall, which Franz takes on. While I am in the house I speak briefly with the owner and in the course of the conversation it's obvious that he does not speak German very well. In the beginning I have problems to understand what he wants to tell me, but then it comes to me that he tells me something aboutthe fuses (he calls them boxes) in the control cabinet and about the electrician who has installed everything. Annoyed, I think that he can call the electrician right away and tell him that he has built a botch. This moment I look at the grounding and come to the fact that the cable that was used is not the right color and was marked only at the beginning and the end. In addition, it has been twisted about half a meter before its end with a thinner cable and does not even make electrical contact. I'll tell Franz about that later an look for some space now to install my modem. I have to look more often, as the structure of the switchboard seems to change constantly, blind covers become Outgoing terminals and vice versa. Then I see a perfect position in the row under the fuses where the modem should fit. As I then speak with Franz I see that Helmut has also arrived and I tell them of my discovery. The two are just as shocked as me and I finally bring the point that I only have pull over a cable to Franz' modem, as he incorporates a funkmodem. Franz says that it is better if I have a modem of my own, because we can then correct disturbances better. Then I tell him that exactly for this reason a single modem would be better and he finally agrees with me. Franz then says that it is difficult to get access to the main house and the hall where he is is opened most of the time. I'm gonna put the cable I brought with me back in the car and get a datacable to pull over to the hall.
For some reason I took my tool bag by the two limbs and now I realize that I still need it later. Then I wonder if I should call Flo to get a confirmation for my tactics, but I do not want to deceive Franz. In the background, I can hear Helmut talking to the customer, who says he does not want anything.
When I re-enter the house I look down and notice that on the right foot I only wear a sock and on the left a shoe full of dirt. First I try to get my shoe clean and then I think that it doesn't matter since it is only a dream. This realization is like a slap in the face and when I go through the door I make my RC and pinch my nose. I can still breathe quite normally and I'm sure now that it is a dream. Since I can remember my goal, I immediately look for the next DC. The customer now stands in the kitchen in front of the sink and cleans something. It is a somewhat older man with shoulder-length brown curls and I speak to him from behind. I am polite and apologize to ask him if he can tell me some interesting story. Meanwhile, I stand sideways beside him and he turns to me while he asks if I want to hear the story of Denmark. I tell him that I do not care what story and he is supposed to choose, which he considers interesting. He begins to tell me about his time in Denmark and a night on a high mountain where many people were seen in warning vests. He is enthusiastic about the reflection of the warning vests and how beautiful the city has looked. The story begins to come to life before my eyes and I have to distract myself in order not to get lost in it and loose my lucidity. I did not expect getting a story told being so difficult. As the man speaks, I always rub my hands together as I fear a premature awakening. Meanwhile, we are in the living room and the wife of the man sits at the kitchen table, while all the others are standing around the table. Then the man ends his story with the part where he returns to his hometown Prague. I stand there for a moment and wait as I expected something more profound from my subconscious (I have never been to Denmark or Prague and did not plan so). I'm a little disapointed in this story but at least I got the goal, I guess.
I then leave the others and go down the hallway towards the entrance, while I want to attack my second goal. Since teleportation has not worked well the last time I want to try a different method now and visualize my living room at home. Then I close my eyes briefly and try to maintain the visualization. I call out loud to the dream "homewards" and flick with my fingers, then I open my eyes again. I'm still in the same place and the only thing that has changed is that the sunset lighted shelf in front of my eyes is blurred . Then I try again and concentrate more intensely this time, but again I come to the same conclusion. Meanwhile I am in the dining room where a long table with many chairs stands and from the living room Franz calls me, telling me that it is not time yet, but I just ignore him. I try the whole thing one more time and when I open my eyes this time I open my eyes awake in my bed and after I made an RC I know for sure it is not even a FA.

Experience:

Started with a normal dream. The details of which have become a bit hazy at this point. After an assumed car accident I awaken in a psychiatrists office, where I was questioned about my sanity. Then I am ushered in a larger house area with other people committed to be closely observed. There were several long conversations in a living room area which I only barely recall now. The point in which I became lucid was a continuation of this house dream, I was upstairs and suddenly I realized I was dreaming for no obvious external reason.

After roaming the house for a few moments I end up going outside. I went outside and found myself on the deck of a house a lived at when very young. I decided to attempt the challenges, all tho my control at the time was not particularly strong.

Still on the wooden deck, attached to the second floor, I find a small square metal can, about a foot across. I pick it up and while focus on what zero-gravity would look like I let it go. It hung there in the ear nearly effortlessly for a few seconds until I was content the challenge was adequately met.

Next I decided to make something disappear. There was a single red plastic cup sitting on the floor of the deck. At first tried to make is vanish while I was looking at it, but had trouble. I then willed it to vanish while I turned away from it, this took about 3-4 tried, but it did disappear.

There is a transition.

I am outside in the middle of the street of a normal looking neighborhood, with houses to either side. It is a clear night, the stars are apparent, and there was no wind to speak of. There was a slightly dark mood 'in the air', so I walk a bit, and then decide to say a mantra out loud, hoping it will make the sun come out. I looked up at the stars while saying "Om-Ah-Hum", my voice soundly strange and wobbly. Suddenly a large object comes out of the sky, it is an UFO, and then lands in the middle of the street. One side was smooth and sphere like, the other half was nearly perfectly flat. It was comprised of large white squares with electric blue trim, perhaps 4-8 squares in all. I enter it, I recall it being bright and very white inside, there were not many details to be seen as I recall. But that part is a bit hazy.

I am walking down the street, I see there is a city with several large and small buildings-houses in the distance, there are a few lights on, but it is mostly lit by ambient light from behind. I find flying difficult, so I create a rope between me and a fare building, I will it to pull me, and so it does, I am quickly skimming over the water and pass several boats which I consider looking around on, but i decide there is more to be seen in the city itself.

I end up walking into a building, the outside was brick, the inside was what looked like aged wood, it seemed to me this building had been sitting empty for many years. I walk up the stairs, it is dark, I can see fine, the 'vibe' is creepy tho. At first I Will the lights to turn on or the room to brighten somehow, however, this did not work. I find an old car light on the ground, which I assumed by its shape and age, belonged to a Model T Ford. I was able to 'pump energy' into it and use it as a respectable flashlight. I spend some time looking around, opening closets, the whole place looked abandoned for some time.

I end up going outside again and the sun is starting to come up, there is a sense of pleasurable 'energy' in the air, there are people about, it is an extremely beautiful scene. I see a man next to a tree and recall what I had read on dream views about pulling it up and seeing what was under it. So I did. The first thing I pulled up was small piece of metal, no more than I half inch long. Then to my surprise, and perhaps to the dream character right next to me, I find a live turtle, I hold it for a few moments and give it a close look over, and perhaps laugh a bit as well. Turtles aren't exactly known for being burroughers that I know of.

At this point I look around again, with the sun out I get a much clearer look. I am at a lake-side or perhaps ocean-side town. There are boats in the water, people walking along a walkway by the shore, the grass was green, the sky was blue, and the entire scene was filled with movement, living color, and happiness. Every one seemed to happy, and I was exited to be apart of their town happening. Sadly, this part did not last long, I think I jumped upon a docked boat before I woke up.

Morning of April 30, 2017. Sunday.



I presently have a cold, and when this happens, my preconscious band expands into wider, unfamiliar patterns, likely external (as it always was with Zsuzsanna before I met her). This preconscious shift sometimes transforms the emergent consciousness precursor into a completely unknown identity as here (which may be a biological factor relating to being in need of more threads from the collective unconscious due to illness), though likely also based on all the news about North Korea.

I am on a ship (a common water induction beginning, water symbolizing sleep and its dynamics in real time as it has for over fifty years for me on a day to day basis) which seems to be a North Korean cargo ship (or so I assume from recent thoughts).

There is some sort of situation which I am not directly involved in. It is something about an unknown male following a female around (and curiously, they are both Caucasian), even into the shower area (water induction within water induction - but not fully a dream within a dream, only composite distortion of the ship seeming bilocated with a house on land and my dream being vivified by the additional association). She seems annoyed but the matter does not concern me.

I look in a mirror and see that the right side of my face is bruised very badly, from my forehead down to my chin, mostly red and purple. I consider that it may relate to my illness and something related to blood circulation. It is mostly covering only the left side of my face (possibly a greatly exaggerated subliminal thread of sleeping on one side).

Again, because I have a cold in real life, my preconscious band is skewed. When I look in a mirror, I am a Korean girl of about sixteen, without the slightest awareness that I am an older man. I am focused on my face quite clearly and consider telling someone about my medical condition though I do not fully recall it as being a cold.

I'm in a canyon with some hillbilly hunters next to a small shack. On the porch of the shack one of the hillbillies is cutting carrots to make a bait for rabbits. I have a dejavu and "remember" that they're doing the same thing that ended up in a catastrophe the last time. They don't care. More hillbillies appear and they go on with their plan. The plan goes ill again like I knew it would when a 50-meter giant appears to kill us. I take of flying but the giant creature follows me and jumps great distances to catch me. Yikes. For my relief the dream hops me to above my neighborhood and the giant now is gone. It gradually dawns up on me, thank god gradually. I'm flying! I'm flying above my home streets! I gain altitude and the feeling of height booms into me essence. I haven't flown in a long time. But I'm no novice either, so I gracefully shift my course and take flying to southeast. I lose some altitude and fly just above a grassy field. I look to my left and remember to score some points for the record. I lift a spruce off the ground by pointing my hand at it. I could have gone to check what's underneath it as well for the TotM, but I didn't remember. I see a girl and a guy in their mid-twenties and land next to them. I think about interaction, so I ask the girl for a kiss. She comes and kisses me on my right cheek. I do the same to her and we laugh a bit. Lots of youngsters start flooding to the area. I think I should also finish the Three-Step Task, so I point my hand behind me and ask a girl in front of me:" There's a door behind me right?" She nods and says :" Yeah." There's the regular yellow door and a much bigger and larger steel door as well. ( thanks dolphin! your technique works! ) I go to the yellow door, but there's no real door at all in fact. It's all some weird plastic that I have to rip open from the corner. I still try to teleport, but I soon realize it won't work like this. I repeat. "There's a door behind me right?" Same response from the girl. This time it's a proper one.

I go to the door, not really knowing where I want to end up so I just think abut a hotel room or something. I open the door and enter a dark narrow corridor that leads to just that; a hotel room. I step in leaving the field behind. I find my brother, father and a beautiful blonde there. They're a bit caught off guard, how did I get there? I ask the blonde to come to me. I make my father and brother disappear by waving my hand in front of them. Just one "swipe" and they have vanished. The blonde lays over me. I ask if I could get a little show. The blonde stands up and begins dancing. No no, that's not how it's done I think to myself. I have to give an example so I stand up as well. I show the blonde the real moves, my dancing is way better! I can feel myself waking up a little bit, seeing the blackness behind my eye-lids almost. I manage to return to the same spot from where I almost left. I think it's too dark at the moment, so I reach for the curtains to let some light in so I could see the blonde in the coming moments. I can see the elegant and bare figure of the blonde just for a brief moment, before the curtains are drawn back to place by some dark force. There's something in the room with us. That feeling quickly subsides as we lay down to have a brief moment of... you know.

Over the last half of the contest I have had a terrible dry spell compared to normal.

I succeeded in two WILDs but could not develop them far enough to have story lines. In the first one I simply flew through a void of pastel colors. In the second I summoned images in a shimmering background and changed things such as placing a unicorn horn on a dog's head. I also had a DILD but it did not go far. I had lost a tooth. I was surprised and reached up to check and now was missing many teeth. How did this happen? Inner voice "head butted in Jiu-jitsu." That does not make sense, we are all on the same team, no one would do that. I wonder if this is a dream. Stop and RC. Lets look for distortions in the visual field. I look around and have an image of looking in my mouth and seeing the busted teeth. RC complete! I clearly can not actually look inside my own mouth without a mirror. Ok, stop and stabilize. I look in a mirror and grow my teeth back. I freaking wake up, so it was not successful as a stabilization method. Not really doing enough to promote lucidity and recall.

Date of Dream: SUN 30 APR - 2017



Dream No. 104 – Seperated Sections
(Lucid Dream 4)

Dream No. 104 A – They Can Hear Me
At the start of this dream, I was somewhat aware of my surrounds but then at the same time I wasn't, it's a really hard state of awareness to describe... It's like I was aware I was dreaming but just not enough to show any signs of lucidity. I put my hnd up in front of me like someone saying stop but with my hand facing me. At first, it was only five fingers but a sixth one kept flashing on and off. I then became more aware and was finally able to adopt some degree of lucidity.

I went to the front balcony of my house and called out for WB in the direction of up the court but as I was doing this, I was consciously aware that I was probably too loud and that my parents may have heard me. There was no respose from WB and so I thought I would actually go and change the dream scene to somewhere where hopefully there would be more action. I said to myself to close my eyes and to not open them again or I would wake up.

Transition
The dream scene was slowly mixing up from the solid scene to just a blur of images that looked like frosted glass you couldn't see through. All throughout the dream scene change, I'm giving myself a lecture on how I am not to open my eyes and to rather just keep them closed.

Dream No. 104 B – The Lolly Bush
The new dream scene eventually made sense and it was in the backyard of my other grandparents' house. I was on their verandah and I started a reality check straight away to make sure I was still dreaming, it was a strange one though. I would cross the third finger over the second and I knew I was dreaming because both sides had equal, straight fingers. I was going to call out for WB again but then I saw her loafing around in the backyard on the grassed area in a strapless, black pencil dress. She stayed quiet for this entire dream and didn't speak... She only went wherever I went and watched on. I took her to the side of the house to explore with her and I saw these wrapped lollies, I think they were actually chocolates, “growing” on a couple of bushes. I opened a blue one and thought to myself, “Why is it hard to swallow is straight away?”. I then devised that the flavour of that lolly was called “Gooey Chooey”.

I know there was more that happened but I don't remember the events.

^End of Dream^: Read further for the Reality Check Explained!

That reality check has got to be one of the most vivid memories of that dream. I did the exact same thing in waking like and took a photo of it. Look below:

http://karlab14.deviantart.com/art/D...aled-677895285

^File attachment didn't want to work, so check the image out on my DeviantArt instead^

On the image, you should see fingers 2 and 3 crossed over. On the right side, fingers 4 and 5 are together and are of similar height. On the other side, there is only the thumb which is very short in comparison to all the other fingers.

In the dream however, fingers 2 and 3 are crossed. Fingers 4 and 5 are of the same length. And then on the left side, the two fingers were also the same length. So actually, fingers 3 and 4 were crossed over. 5 and 6 were equal to the right AND 1 and 2 were equal to the left... So the extra finger had come in between 1 and 2, if you get that. If you were to count them from right to left (because it was my right hand I checked against): in real life, 5, 4, 3 twisted into 2, then 1. In dream, 5, 4, 3 twisted into 2, 1... Hold on... AN EXTRA?!
