    Lucid Dreams

    1. Smelling Sterile Daisies(*Lucid ToTM)

      by , 05-02-2015 at 09:37 AM
      2nd May 2015
      I found myself in an old age home. The white back room I was in was well lit by large windows and high ceilings. There seemed to be a en-suite bathroom in the corner, with walls made from cardboard lower that the one in the actual room. I walked towards the rear of the room and caught a glimpse of myself in a large vertical rectangular make-up mirror on the right hand side wall.

      I couldn't recognise the person who looked back at at all.

      It looked as though I had aged 20 years, had a huge musache, and look like a long black haired Mexican that was aging.I immediately knew i was dreaming and and stabilized by focusing on the detail on my at my hands.They seemed to have large black and deep grooves on them.
      I told myself that when I turn toward the front of the room I would find a flower to smell. When i did, no flower was in sight. I began exploring the space and what seemed to be a lounge area with turquoise and cream chairs and a low coffee table.
      Finally, on the coffee table I found the small flower I had been looking for. It was a small white daisy that was growing out of a pink and purple cardboard box with a dark pruple ribbon running along the length of the box. Metal black spikes coming out of the box caged the flower in as protection, but the flower was exposed at the top.I gave the flower a sniff and it gave off a sterile hospital aroma, and immediately began to die and wither.

    2. Repeating High School (Lucid*)

      by , 09-29-2014 at 12:41 PM
      25th September 2014

      I stood on the Matric lawn at the front of my old high school, conversing with old friends about the frustratingly depressing news.
      Schools curriculum had changed and it was now mandatory that everyone was to complete an extra 5 years on top of the initial schooling we already had.
      Being irritated and confused with the entire situation i decide to walk around the side of the old bei brick assembly building toward the tuck shop.Standing next to the Rugby field stands I noticed an old scholl friend hobbly past in a jester like fashion

      "What a minute,I'm not at school anymore!", finally catching one of my most common dream signs. The usual excitement washes over me, and I can't seem to remember any tasks or stabilization techs for that matter.
      I decide to pace walk up the narrow corridor where i pass many students, recognizing their faces somewhat.


      I must have lost lucidity fairly quickly thereafter, as i can't seem to recall the rest of the dream.
    3. Expecto Pen in the Toilet (*Lucid)(TotM attempt)

      by , 09-12-2014 at 11:49 AM
      Thursday,11th Sepetmeber 2014

      Moon: 89% illuminated Waning Gibbous in Arries
      Tarot Card of the Day: 4 of Wands
      Mayan Calender: Yellow Self - Existing Warrior

      Tecnique: MILD
      Mantra: "I am dreaming"

      A blonde hair blue eyed girl with a slightly plump build leads me into the female toilets.
      She's my friends ex-girlfriend, and I feel slightly guilty about our promiscuous intent, although the testosterone gets the better of me. She darts off into one of the cubicles telling me she needs to "prepare herself"
      I stand in the brightly lit bathroom,and infront of me lie many white shiny basins sunk in a garnet red marble countertop.
      A rectangular mirror streched just above the basins toward the door.

      It seems as though a jolt of spontaneous lucidity emerged within me, but i figure it was probably because I had a look at myself in the mirror and noticed some discrepancies.
      I started to complete an arbitrary stabilization technique ream character that a DC taught me in a previous dream( possible false dream memory)involving putting a pen in your right hand then touching it onto my brow. I couldn't tell if the dreamscape vivified or not, leaving me with the notion that it was unsuccessful.
      Either way, the dream was vivid enough to complete the task of the month, and with black pen in my hand to use as a wand i expected it to be a breeze.
      "Expecto Patronus"I stated out aloud while looking at my reflection in the mirror.
      Silence followed.
      "EXPECTO PATRONUS!"I exclaimed.
      Still nothing. I repeated this a few times without any results.nada.zilch.
      I looked at the pen in my hand and it seemed to have swollen slightly, thats about it.
      I figured i needed a wand for this to work, and looked under the red countertop, expecting to find it.
      The cupboards which lie underneath of it was completely empty.
      Then a weird sensation of dissociation happened with my arm and it seemed as though it had a mind of its own.

      I must have lost lucidity after that,as i cannot recall the rest.
      Ah well, guess my SubC wasn't working with me lastnight.
    4. Aliens Attack the Airport (Part 2) (*Lucid)

      by , 09-05-2014 at 12:02 PM
      Part 1: http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/kaizen/aliens-attack-airport-pt1-%2Alucid-totm-60493/

      Part 2

      After completing the TOTM I survey the dreamscape once more.
      In the center of the passage stood a large rectangular digital map encased in an aluminium frame.
      My mother and I walked towards it for closer inspection.
      The map displayed the architectural layout of the airport as well as the surrounding city. I touched the brightly lit display screen and it moved into a vibrant 3 dimensional animation.
      The animation depicted the progressive spread of the hostile alien invasion, (shown as a red cloud, slowly engulfing the city)
      It then displayed a future prediction of the invasion, and I came to the abrupt realization that there would be no place to run.
      My mothers expression was soon converted from a content smile to a worried frown.
      "Not to worry mom, we can FLY!"i exclaimed with a cheeky grim on my face.
      I grabbed her by the shoulders and we soared swiftly down the passage into the large high ceilinged convenience store.
      Over the rows of endless isles we floated until my mother started to wriggle around and punch me lightly in the chest, clearly wanting to be let down.
      I complied and let her go on her independent path, knowing that she was merely a small reflective facet of my subconscious.

      I decided to initiate a meditation practice. I sat with my legs crossed in an upright lotus position,shoulders relaxed with the hindside of my hand resting on my knees in mudra (pointer finger and thumb touching each other lightly).
      I close my eyes and began to concentrate on my breath, which felt abnormally long and stretched out.
      Suddenly, I begin to feel my body levitate above the ground...ascending slowly until it reached a point where my sense of proprioception felt a constant hover.

      "Wow..this is awesome!"I catch myself thinking, and as the thought entered my mind I feel as though I'm falling...now from a lofty height.
      The feeling of gravity sucking me downward manifests itself as a heavy writhing feeling in my stomach...one we all know too well.
      I instinctively open my eyes to an all encompassing pitch black abyss.
      My body then feels as if its lurched back into my waking like body in bed,except my bed feels like its tilted at a 45 degree angle toward my head.
      "False awakening..."i think to myself...and continue to maintain awareness for several minutes in the the pitch dark.
      strange geometric forms and patterns begin to morph and mutate in the darkness and the next thing I know I find myself in a suburban street lined with cars.(DEILD? not sure as I have never had one)


      I think I may have lost some lucidity thereafter as my recall becomes scattered and fragmented.
      I vaguely remember an old friend from Goa,India doing a contact ball performance. He had 4 arms and was juggling the 3 balls in each four hands while blowing fire.
      Quite the spectacle.
      I also remember an erotic scene involving me and an old English girlfriend.She was dressed in a seductive tribal leather costume.
      The scene went weird when she started to grow a beard during our escapades and I swiftly ran away.
      Haha

    5. Aliens Attack the Airport (Pt1) (*Lucid) (TOTM)

      by , 09-03-2014 at 12:06 PM
      Tuesday,3rd of September 2014

      Moon Cycle: 54% Illuminated (First Quarter) in Sagittarius (8 days old)

      Tarot Card of the Day: Two of Pentacles

      Mayan Calender Date: Blue Galactic Hand


      This DILD occoured in the latter REM cycles before a WBTB,using MILD.
      The duration of sleep was approximately 6 hours from 11:45pm until 5:45am.
      Manta used: "Tonight I will have lucid dreams, and I will remember them."


      Colour code: Non - Lucid
      Lucid


      I found myself on the 3rd floor of a enormous brightly lit airport resembling Dubai International with my Mother and Russel Brand.
      We are in transit, and Russel has just smuggled a small portion of drugs onto and off of the plane, mule style.
      There's frantic activity all around us as we and many others wait impatiently for the two large metal lifts to descend through the transparent glass shafts to transport us to the roof, where the airport departure runway lays.

      Suddenly the lights start to flicker and a piercingly loud siren sounds. I look up through wide adrenalized eyes at the transparent shaft where the lifts now shake, shudder and gyrate up down and side to side violently, with the people shrieking and screaming inside...presumably in pain.
      Chaos erupts, and everyone begins to panic...many running around as a headless chickens would.

      "They have control of the power supply!" a middle aged woman shouts at the top of her lungs, trembling in fear.
      I can hear the poor souls in the lift crying loudly in agony for someone to switch the power off.
      I echo their pleads and begin to shout the same.
      "Turn the power OFF!!!!"

      "Shut the f'ck up!There's nothing we can do....Run for your lives!",a security guard hollers.

      I grab my quivering mothers by the hand and we begin to run toward a large convenience store where I catch sight of a green emergency exit symbol hanging overhead.
      I notice that I'm unable to pick up pace and my stride length remains short as I attempt to sprint faster,albeit unsuccessfully. (Dreamsign)

      The omnipresent bolt of lucidity strikes me, and an immediate calm percolates the entire dreamscape.
      I turn to my mom and a she possesses a golden luster which radiates outward like some sort of halo. A modest smile creeps into the corners of her mouth. I feel a tremendous relief and give her a kiss on the forehead.
      I remain calm and decide not to perform ant dream stabilization technique since my visual field is acceptably vivid*.
      I examine the surrounding dreamscape. We stand in bright cavernous passage, with the beige tiles gleaming and shining squeaky clean beneath our feet.
      Many empty craft and clothing stores line the left and right hand side, displaying their products through large square glass windows.
      The emergency exit lay at the very end of the passage,inside a large convenience store.
      A closed liquor store was located directly to my right,and outside stood a medium sized circular metal trash can.

      I recalled the Task of the month and expected to find a fortune cookie beneath the trash can, which I did.
      I unwrapped the small cookie from its thin transparent plastic cover and broke it in half to reveal a stone/tan colored piece of folded paper.
      Unfolding the paper proved to be rather difficult and, to my dismay,revealed nothing but a blank surface.
      Then, on closer inspection, strange symbols and words seemed to magically transcribe themselves onto the sheet...similar to the invisible ink scene in Harry Potter.
      I could only compare the inscriptions having a resemblance to a combination of Greek,Arabic and Hieroglyphs.
      Similar but not identical.

      I discarded the paper and figured i'd try again, looking in the same spot.
      Lo and behold I found second specimen, and upon opening I had the same experience with the magical emergence of the text.
      This time it was in English.

      "BROMIOIDE",I uttered out loud.(Pronounced BRO-MEE-OH-IDE)
      I turned the sheet over, hoping to find a meaning.

      As I focused on the opposite blank side "PZ33" slowly manifested itself, surrounded by a rectangular border
      It then faded away as quickly as it appeared.
      I began to chant the word and letter-digit combination out aloud in order to ingrain it into my pre-frontal cortex so I could remember it in waking life.


      The story doesn't end there, an I continue into a fairly fun and abstract adventure,leading to an abrupt false awakening through a dream meditation...more of which i'll post in Part 2.

      Very excited to have completed my first TOTM
      Whoohoo!

    6. The Quintuple Rainbow (*Lucid)

      by , 09-02-2014 at 11:24 AM
      Monday,1st September 2014

      Moon Cycle: 38% illuminated moving from Scorpio to Saggitarius

      Tarot Card of the Day: King of Cups

      Mayan Day: White Resonant Worldbridger

      Dream

      After WBTB from 07:20--->08:49

      I find myself in a Dutch style house on a cliff face overlooking the dark green choppy sea.
      The weather is gloomy outside and several greyish black clouds lie overhead.
      In the room with me is my cousin,Jared.
      I sit reading an article in the local newspaper which reports on a visionary artist getting credit for her dance floor decorations at BOOM festival in Portugal.
      The picture in the article has many blue-indigo/purple fractal psychedelic backdrops with omnipresent 3rd eyes decorating the the stretchy material that the artist painted on. She stands next to her work smiling proudly.
      I recognize a beautiful tall blonde tribal looking girl in the photo standing next to her.(false memory)

      "Hey Jared, isn't this Mandy in the photo here?"I ask,as he comes over to check.
      "Yep that's her,she's living at my house right now with Kim in the extra bedroom!",he replies excitedly.
      "Wow that's awesome, she's such a gorgeous tantric goddess" I say, surprised by his statement,and hiding my streak of envy.

      We decide that we want to go for a walk, but can't seem to make up our minds where to.
      I suggest we go up to the caves on the cliff face as they are't too far away.
      I open the front door and notice the grey clouds have turned black. There's a slight drizzle and looks as though it may turn into a full blown thunderstorm any minute.

      "Hey man,it's raining outside...we can't go!"I shout through the door as he is still inside.
      "No way!"he bellows back at me.
      I feel kind of relieved as i wasn't to keen on the hike anyway.

      Upon entering the house I cast my gaze through the glass sliding room door at the back of the house and see something absolutely amazing.

      "Look outside! Its some kind of super rainbow!",I exclaim.
      We both both gaze with mouths agape in wonder at the mutant rainbow. It looked as though 5 rainbows where alchemically squashed into one.The color spectrum was abnormally pronounced.

      And that's when it struck me...Am i dreaming?
      For some reason I chose a unorthodox reality check, and one i never use, trying to reaching out and grab the rainbow like Mr Stretch. I was successful and my arm stretched out of the suede green button up jacket that I wore, toward the quintuple rainbow.

      The rush of lucid hit me and everything seemed to be fading quickly.
      I began to rub my hands frantically and shout "Clarity now",although no enhancement was evident.
      I also noticed that I could barely feel my hands, and it was if they where dead.
      As all began to fade to black i decided to go for my last resort.I remember reading somewhere that falling backward can transport you to a new dreamscape. I did so, and I immediately plunged into darkness.
      It felt as if my astral body was slammed back into my real body and felt as though i was lying in bed.
      I kept my eyes closed and soon came to the realization it could be a false awakening.And it was indeed.

      I felt as though I was being dragged by my legs while lying on my back and sensed a presence in the room with me.
      I kept my eyes shut, fearing I would wake up if I opened them,and maintained a calm awareness on the bodily sensations which now turned from dragging/pulling to a vibration with accompanied loud sound.
      The sensations started to fade so i decided to slowly opened my eyes.
      Then something weird happened.
      It was as if i opened my eyes to a brand new dreamscape,but only caught a small glimpse of it.
      I can barely recall what it looked like, just a quick flash.

      Then another "set" of eyes opened and i found myself in my bed lying on my left hand side back in my bedroom in waking reality. (I think...forgot to perform another reality check haha )
    7. Motorcycle Rampage in the City *(Lucid + Basic Task Attempt)

      Monday, 25th August 2014

      Moon Cycle:New Moon in Virgo

      Tarot card of the Day: Ace of Cups

      Mayan Calender:Blue Cosmic Storm

      Nostril less blocked on awakening: Right (Masculine,left brain,logical/analytical)

      This dream occoured on the start of the New Moon on Monday when my girlfriend,myself and two other friends (another couple) decided to hike up one of the nearby mountains and camp out in a secluded cave for a night of shamanism and star-gazing.

      As the clear,still night fell we all consumed a small amount of plant medicines in the form of a tea (San Pedro and Psilocybin).
      The effects where felt, although very mild.
      We made a fire and began telling stories,playing music and chanting before falling asleeping just before the crack of dawn.


      Dream:

      I'm speeding through a city which resembles my hometown on my black Enfield motorbike, still on the initial lucidity realization high. I feel confident and invincible...there seems no reason to stabilize the dream.
      (ln retrospect I should have, as I only maintained a surface level of lucidity)

      I weaved through traffic, knocking pedestrians and cars to pieces knowing that no real bodily harm could transpire.
      Or could it?
      I asked myself the question while taking a particularly long and wide corner and the mental doubt caused the tires to slip from under me .
      I began to slide with my right leg being dragged underneath the bike.

      Swiftly I jumped up and let my bike continue to slide away while i scurried to my feet.
      "it's just a dream,its just a dream...",I reminded myself.

      There was a feeling of angst that the dream was about to end, which caused my behavior to become erratic and crazy to say the least.
      Even though I was conscious and somewhat lucidly aware,it was as if my primal male instincts took over and I was observing my dream body on auto pilot.

      I saw a frozen yogurt cafe on the sidewalk where I just had crashed and sprinted into it in a frenzy.
      Jumping over the counter where various cakes and sweets where displayed, i proceeded to stuff as many flavors of frozen yogurt in my mouth using the cooling dispensers which lay along the far wall.

      "What are you doing?",the cashier shouts from across the other end of the room.
      "Whatever I want!" I reply in a commanding tone.

      I double take at the cashier and notice she is extremely attractive.
      Curly brunette hair ,deep brown eyes,olive skin, curvaceous body and full lips.

      My "cave-man" mentality at the time gets the better of me and I grab her by the arm and pull her into the back room.
      Strangely she complied without any resistance.
      The erotica that ensued was very intense,fast paced and primal...with ripping off clothes, loud shouts and groans and the collision of sweaty bodies... often being thrown around the room.

      Then she uttered something in my ear...
      "Remember what you are here for...."
      I was struck by a sudden clarity and lucidity again.
      "The dream task!"I exclaimed.
      I left the sexual escapades in the back room and ran outside.

      Many dream characters where sitting on the sidewalk in the sunshine drinking around round white tables.
      I took a seat at one of them and asked a chubby short man to tell me a foreign word and its meaning.
      He replied in something that sounded similar to Spanish.
      I then asked a middle aged lady sitting adjacent to him the same question,and she replied in what I could make out to be a French accent.


      Upon awakening I was unable to recall the words or their meaning...only the unique accents in which the DC's spoke.
      Arg.

      Almost!
    8. Silhouetted Beings.

      by , 08-15-2014 at 11:24 PM
      13 May 2014
      Method: WBTB with MILD

      Time: 07:00-08:55

      I awakened to the darkness of my bedroom.A flash of lucidity struck me, and as it did I immediately felt an invisible force which pinned me down in my bed at the shoulders and began to pull me toward my door.
      I sensed something or someone. In the room with me.A presence of another being,one I could not see clearly,a mere silhouette in the darkness.
      Was it the one in control of the force or was it merely observing my predicament?
      And why was i paralyzed,unable to fight this strange energetic field that held me stationary.

      There is a sudden scene change and I finds myself standing outside in my back garden,still lucid, gazing upon the stars that where shining unuasually bright.
      I notice that I cannot recognize any constellations.
      The next door neighbor lets off a firework that implodes making a loud and echoing bang although instead of the usual chaotic visual effect an organised pentagonic pattern radiated outward from the central point,made of white dots joind with beams of light.

      I find that if i begin to focus and concentrate my attention lay on the red strawberry,which lay on the table infront of me, I'm able to gain occular clarity.

      ....
