    Dome of Ra

    Pre bed: 3 mel, 500 arg, 500 lysine

    Wbtb: 1/3 latte (other)

    The dreams were somewhat unstable although the cycle lasted about 1:30, with deeper than usual sleep in the beginning, around 5 mins of non-ld and chain of lds in the rest. My recall is very fragmented.

    Frag ld: In the classroom. I'm about to take some stuff but get very confused with the desks. Awareness increases. Tked a knife and tried to tk control the movement of a fly (partial success).

    LD frags (I think one of these was a DEILD): In an underground passage and my awarness is higher, I go up the stairs and possibly get out in the next place I recall.

    Inside a house, everything is quite vivid as I go to the balcony outside and see an unbelievable sight. At this point I am thinking about the Pyramid challege and this influences what I'm seeing ahead. It's a valley and a city in the distance but unlike any city that exists. More like a mix of classic and fairy tale architecture. In the middle of the place is a magnificent hexagonal/octagonal dome shaped monument made of dark rock with the eye of Ra on the sides. I'm quite excited by the sight of it but before I can get closer, I lose my vision. Really pissed off that this is happening, but the dream is still here and I can actually hear a number of nearby teenagers talking loudly so I call them for help.

    My sight returns in small portions, but I think I lose the dream after that. My recall is bad between different scenes.

    It's almost as if I have memorized the structure of the previous house as the next scene begins in a similar place. I recall looking at a number of windows and want to leave the place to go outside. At some point before that I was in the bathroom and left the tap running. Made a mental note about this feeling happy about not caring. There is also snow outside and I am sparsely dressed but say it doesn't matter.

    I end up in a room with my parents (maybe after climbing down and then up a balcony), where I see my dad and a doppelgänger of him. It's a bit creepy and I want to go outside so leave the room.

    [New scene] Vaguely recall examining and opening a window and imagining outside to be something awesome like the dome before that. Another fantastic sight, this time I watch the entire landscape build in front of my eyes. It's the sea in the distance as well as another amazing fairy tale medieval type of city. The only problem is that the whole background is quite shifty. I want to wait for dream stability to improve before working on a pyramid summon. Something about acting around to give the background city time to stabilize.

    Memory gap but this was still related to the previous part of the scene. It's as if I have gone down and am now looking at whatever has become of the surroundings. There are lots of peculiar rocks surrounding me, like rocky mountains with very soft pastel colors. I make a mental note. Then all of a sudden a huge bolder displaces and starts rolling in my direction with great speed. Luckiliy for me, my subcon seems to have assumed a slightly different trajectory and the rock quickly passes at a small distance just above me. I briefly wonder about what would have happened had it hit me and why did it fall in the first place, did my thoughts cause it. [End of memory]

    [New scene] The last place I recall, it's more of Asian type of scenery with a grassy hill ahead as I watch two rabbits and something else going down the slope. There is something going in front of the house at the bottom of the hill where we are. The rabbits turn to two crazy looking monkeys with clothes and a tribal man that are coming towards us. I use a part of a plant to block their way. My awareness goes from low to slightly higher and I become interested in seeing what happens once they come close. I approach the two dressed monkeys and turn to talk with the tribal man who keeps switching appearances. The dream soon thins out and I wake up.

      Hey, cool dreams, Nyx! You are already burning toward that Great Pyramid challenge... very exciting! Give you a challenge and a delicious latte and you are unstoppable!

      The Eye of Ra imagery is perfect, super evocative. Clearly you had everything heading in the right direction. Things got very interesting, too, in the scene where you looked out the window and saw the dreamscape construct itself into all kinds of promising, cool stuff such as the open ocean and the medieval city.

      The rock part really reminded me of the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark!

      The part where the rabbits turn into crazy monkeys sounded really freaky! Beautifully handled though. And oh, another doppelganger! It seems like we often find ourselves discussing this subject.

      Great job with this one! Looking forward to your next!

      Thanks for coming up with such an awesome dare! I imagined having a great adventure completing it, but it seems even on the way to the dare there are lots of dream surprises to behold.

      The rock part really reminded me of the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark!
      It's funny that you say it, I was thinking about that part of the movie while journalling.

      And oh, another doppelganger! It seems like we often find ourselves discussing this subject.
      Yes, it's curious how they have been popping up so often these days. We have to think of some use for them!

      Yay, I'm so glad you're having fun with it! I'm excited about how quickly you've started getting close to it. I don;t know whether you did any incubation work, but the Eye of Ra was great imagery! I was excited just from reading the title, ha ha...



      Looking forward to your next adventure!

      Thanks! I haven't done any incubation work on that and it's been ages since my last visualization session. This might be a good time to resume the sessions.
