A good friend and I have been attempting shared dreaming for some time now. I have a feeling it may have happened last night.

I don't remember what happened up to this point, but I had some sort of crazy dream adventure, that climaxed with some kind of roller coaster or train about to fall off a broken track. Two other people were with me (one was my friend, I'll call him C). We decided to try and save the people on board. My non-lucids are always trippy as hell, and for some reason I saw a giant spider crawling along the track. For some reason, my first reaction was to simply shout "Spider man!" at which point the spider turned into spiderman himself. At this point, I just started yelling out names of characters to come save us. I called for Superman, Goku, and few others. The last name I yelled was "SPIRIT BEAAAAAAR" (no idea where that came from). I may have performed dream control without being lucid, but besides spiderman none of the other characters showed up. In fact, Spidey didn't even help with the situation at hand. My 2 friends and I ended up building a bridge from the broken track to safe ground, by holding up something (cardboard boxes? I have a feeling that might be it but can't quite wrap my mind around it). However, 2 of the passengers fell into some spooky dungeon below. At this point, I became lucid. C and I plunged into the dungeon to rescue the people. If I remember correctly, we had been waiting for another friend on the train/rollercoaster, and he told us the people who fell were his sister and grandmother or something.

Anyway, we entered the dungeon, searching for these poor people. Going deeper into the dungeon, we battled several groups of ninjas. My preferred method of dream combat is through Naruto-style "jutsus". So, I performed some handseals and dispatched the ninjas with a few different techniques, including a lightning bolt, a fireball, a dragon flame, and a stone prison. (for the stone prison, the ground just opened up underneath his feet and he fell in, at which point it started squeezing him, holding him in place as my friend owned him with some explosive attack). As a side note, my current Lucid Goal is to perform jutsus of each element from the series. The lightning and fire jutsus are staples for me, but this was my first time improvising an earth jutsu. As of right now, I'm at 3/5, I only need wind and water. Immediately after the battle where I used stone prison, I had a false awakening. C was sitting next to me in my room, and I failed to do an RC Instead, I turned to C and started discussing the dream. "My dream control is getting better, I think. I mean, did you see that stone prison?" C agreed with me, and we concluded that we should go back to sleep and continue our adventure.

Unfortunately, I lost lucidity at this point. The dream continued with me entering a church where a huge amount of people were gathered for a service of some kind. I wanted to join the church, but they wouldn't let me. Nothing else really eventful happened after this, I went to a college, and was walking around looking at the students, still non lucid.

All in all, a pretty good night of dreams. I need to get in touch with C to see if he had the same dream. Wouldn't surprise me if it was only a DC though, as both of us (especially C) are low-level LDers

First entry for my new DJ. My recall has been somewhat hazy as of late, so these are really more like fragments, but here goes.

I was with some friends, and we were all about to take some psychedelic drug. I was convinced it was supposed to be mushrooms, but it looked more like chunks of cactus. At first I tried to make the cactus into a tea, because I thought that it would be more potent than eating it for some reason. I ended up throwing up after drinking the tea, and a friend told me to just eat it. I took the remaining chunk of cactus/mushroom that I had and put it on a scale, it weighed just over 3.5 grams (don't remember the exact number but it was somewhere around that). My memory starts to fade at this point, but it comes back with me standing by a window, my trip just starting to kick into overdrive. I looked out and marveled at a sky covered in a beautiful mess of colorful patterns, and clouds that seemed cartoony and felt distinctly 3-d. I don't really remember the rest of the trip, and I never became lucid, but the parts I do remember were awesome.

I also have vague memories of getting into some kind of space battle. I do believe tengen toppa gurren lagann was involved, and I remember a very intense moment where the giant mech actually fired a kamehameha at some opponent. I really wish my recall wasn't so hazy, as this was an awesome dream scene.
