Slash's Mind Cave

It's been a fairly long time since I had a Lucid Dream. So this was pretty awesome for me.

So, I was in a non-lucid dream first. It had this group of people, the only one I remember the name of was "Sonic". I think Sonic was a girl, although for some strange reason, it was in my head that it was sonic the hedgehog. I'm pretty sure there is a reason behind that, but I can't remember.
We were at a big table in the middle of a city, outside. There were sort of bushes around us, so it wasn't easy to see in at us.

I then woke up. I was lying there very still, and I then realized that I had the opportunity to DEILD.
My normal method would be to repeat to myself something like "I'm going into a dream, I'm going into a dream" or something. But for some weird reason, I did that as well as singing the intro to the song "Darkness" by Disturbed. It did help my concentration and focus, and I wish I could say that was the reason I did it, but there was no logic behind me doing that.

And then I went back into the dream, lucidly. Everything around me was the same as before. I then convinced the dream characters that it was a dream. I obviously wasn't thinking straight, because I saw them as real people that I knew from real life, and that it was a shared dream.

Anyways, to convince them that it was indeed a dream, I went to show off my powers.
I turned towards the building behind us, it was a big sky-scraper, kind of like the Empire State Building. I took a breath and prepared my mind for doing some awesome power stuff.
I then lifted my arms in a sort of motion that suggested I was doing some telekinesis to lift something heavy up from far away.
Water started to rise up the building very fast and it exploded out the windows and wrecked the building.
The funny thing is, my aim in that was to do it so fast that the water reaches the top, and a woman was to fly out and land on the table next to us. I believe I was aiming for the wife of one of the people with me.
It's very hard to describe what it actually looked like when I did this, but it was truly amazing, and the feeling of power was awesome.
But I was only able to get the water about half way up the building before it felt too heavy to handle. So the water slowed down and then came crashing down.
It was very strange, because it felt like I was properly using my muscles and stuff. It was so realistic.

So, I prepared my mind for it again, I convinced myself that it is weightless and that I don't need to strain myself to do it. So I did it again, and it took barely any effort to push the water the full way up. (I didn't blast the woman out of the building though )
And although it didn't take much effort, I could still feel my muscles and mind doing the stuff. So there was still realism there.


Then I woke up, I think. I moved a little bit, but I tried to DEILD-chain it anyways. And it worked.

So I was back at the table. I don't remember much of what happened at this point. Probably just boring stuff talking to the people. And in fact I think at some people I woke up again and DEILD-chained back in again. I don't remember anything now except talking to people randomly about shared dreaming and stuff.


All-in-all, I'm pretty happy with the dream. That telekinesis was awesome, and it felt great to be lucid again generally.

So, this morning, I has a pretty awesome dream. I did in fact become lucid in it, for the first time in a long while.

The first I remember of the dream was that there was a bunch of DV members, and we were racing through the sky, flying. I know there was more before that lead up to this, but I just cannot remember. The people who I remember were definitely there, was Tyler and DuB, and I think ninja too. There was a load more, at least 5 or 6 more, but I don't remember who they were. So, we were flying in the sky, and below us was the weirdest sight ever. The ground was like made of huge 2D squares, some higher and some lower. So the ground wasn't all connected together, it was really weird. It was also kind of blue-ish. I think it was part sea, and part land. Very strange thing to see.

We came up to a wooden building in the sky, where we took a break (The race wasn't competitive, just a little bit of fun), and some of us were just playing around out side, flying around the building, etc. And then one of the DV members, possibly DuB pushed me, and I started to fall to the ground, and I couldn't fly back up.

Then, as I was falling, I had the strangest sudden realisation it was a dream. I just kinda went "wait, THIS IS A DREAM OMG" and then I instantly flew back up to the building where everyone was.
I started jumping around all excited. I'm surprised I didn't wake up, actually. But, I did actually say to myself while I was jumping about, "Ah, I'm gunna wake up at this rate", so I calmed it down a bit. I was still excited though. So I ran around happy, and I told everyone that it is a dream. I started flying around too, shouting at everyone, going "Guy's it's a fucking dream, do a fucking reality check"
Then one by one, each of them started to do their reality checks, and they all "became lucid" too.
At the time, I was slightly deluded, and I thought they were all the real people (i.e. Dream sharing) But I don't think it was a shared dream.

We all started to show off all our skills. One of them did a back flip or something while flying. Then I went "Hah, that's nothing", and I stood straight up, and the Iron Man suit (Iron Man suit is practically my signature style in LDs) started to go on me, like in Iron Man 2 where he puts the case down and stands on it, and the suit goes on him. Like this:

I felt so awesome while doing that. Then I flew up a bit, to show off my thrusters, etc. Then dropped back down. Then I think someone else put on an Iron Man suit.

My memory is getting a bit fuzzy at this point, but I know there wasn't much left of the dream before I woke up.
The little wooden building turned into a house, where we all lived. (I guess I lost control of the situation. But I was still lucid)
And I remember that Tyler was sick, or something, so he was lying in bed.

And that is really all I remember. Some other stuff happened in Tyler's room, like flying around or something, but I don't remember well enough to say.

This was a morning's dream just before I woke up a few days ago, I was too busy to write it at the time, so I'm just going to write what I remember of it, because it was such a strange dream.


I'm a bit fuzzy about the order of what everything happened, but the first thing I remember about the dream is that me and someone else with me (I'll call this person "Person X" from now on), and we were being chased by people from Valve (The company that makes Half-Life, Portal, Team Fortress, etc.). In this dream, Valve were evil people who take people as slaves, and the work these slaves do allow the games on Steam to work.

So, the first part I remember is that we were on an island, and we were in a cave which had quite a high ceiling. There were gaps in the ground, and you would die if you fell into one. And there were big rocks placed inside the cave, which we often used as cover.

I think at this point, we had super powers. We could fly, and there was something to do with shooting red stuff from out hands. In fact, this stuff looked very similar to the stuff that comes out of the Medigun in Team Fortress 2, except it was slightly more lightning/electric looking.



So, at this point, there was a sort of battle going on in this cave with the Valve bad guys. Me and Person X were using our powers as much as we could, but the Valve guys were more powerful.
So, we took cover, then I did some sort of telekinesis push at Person X, in such a way that he/she fell into one of the gaps, but safely. I did it in such a way that he/she was able to grab onto the walls of the gap, but he/she was deep enough down so that the bad guys thought he/she was dead. (So I did it to save him/her, because I knew we were about to be taken)

So about 2 seconds after doing that, the bad guys came round the corner of the rock and grabbed me, and took me outside.

Outside the cave, the island looked very similar to that of a Halo 1 map. The Halo map I am referring to wasn't an Island, but the cliffs on that map looked very similar to the cliffs near the shore of the island.
I think I then got loose and flew up. Then my memory is fuzzy, the next thing I remember after that is being with the bad guys again, and Person X was there I think.

My memory is fuzzy after that again, now the next thing I remember is being with the slaves, it was much like a community of slaves. Like a village, except everyone was miserable and dirty. Then, I think someone, as punishment for something, was strapped to some sort of platform thing which was on a train track. And the platform rolled away into the middle of nowhere on the tracks.

Then my memory is yet again failing me, but the next thing I remember now is me going on one of those platform things into the middle of nowhere. But I think I did it deliberately, I deliberately got into trouble so that I would be able to escape on one of those things.
So, there I was in the middle of nowhere, I was able to struggle out of the ropes holding me in, and I started walking away from the tracks, for miles and miles. I reached this big white building. I think it was where the business of Valve goes on.
Then, I remember something happening which made me run away. I think it was just someone coming out of the building who I didn't want to see me. And I also remember Person X being with me again at this point.

We ran off to some sort of construction yard type place. And there was this box thing, it was white, and the walls were made of the same stuff the walls in portal are made of. Same colour, same texture.
Example: (The box was much smaller than that room)


Then, in the middle there was a strange looking ball thing with an orange glow coming from inside. It wasn't transparent, but there were sort of cracks in the ball with the light escaping from them. The ball also strangely reminded me of the type of thing you would find in portal, or possibly half life.

So me and Person X were in that box hiding from the bad guys, and we were fascinated by this strange ball. I think we somehow came to the conclusion that it was something used to suck the energy out of people (Which is how they use people as ways to get the games to work)

Then we noticed helicopters and tanks and stuff coming after us into the construction yard, and we were trying to figure out how the hell to get away from this one.

After staying hidden for a little while, I think we decided to make a run for it.
All I remember from here is running out of the box and then jumping on top of a crane, kind of like the way the guy in Assassin's Creed would do it. and the crane was low, and the box was high, so it was like how he would jump from roof to roof.

Then that's all I remember. I think that might have been when I woke up.

This afternoon, I was on DV chat (awake), I was tired, so I lay back, and fell asleep. I don't remember now the dream I had then.
I woke up, and I never moved. I thought to myself "Hmmm, I feel like DEILDing" so what I did was, I kept still, and I just simply said to myself "I am dreaming, I am dreaming, I am dreaming..." and as I started to fall asleep, the most amazing thing ever happened.

All of a sudden, I felt as if I was being spun round and round in my bed, still in the same spot, just being spun really fast. I felt like I was awake, so it was extremely strange, but I knew it wasn't real (I was also still telling myself "this is a dream"), so I enjoyed it while it was there.

Then I was in a building, I think it was my bedroom. But I was still being wooshed about by something invisible, and it was taking me around all the places I have become lucid in the past, and a few other places, as if it wanted me to choose a place.

I found it annoying that it wouldn't let me go. It then took me to the house of an old friend of mine. And I was starting to get quite annoyed that it wouldn't let me go, so I struggled out of it just as the thing was about to take me to somewhere else.

I couldn't stand up properly, it was as if I was very very drunk. So I sat down. And the room changed to something of a similar shape, but it wasn't my friend's house.

Some really good looking girls started coming in, and of course, the first thing I thought was that I should take this opportunity for sex.

But... The crucial thing that I had forgotten. The thing that I have been trying to get into my thick skull, is that any time I think about having sex in a dream, I start to wake up. EVERY SINGLE TIME.
So of course, I woke up before I could do anything.


So, I was pretty pissed off at myself for making the same mistake I always make. I need to remember to stay away from sex in dreams, at least until I master attaining lucidity, THEN I can start to fix my problems.

But, this dream was not a total waste, because of that experience at the start. That was very very amazing.

I accidentally fell asleep just there.


I had a normal day in school, got home, whatever. This all went by quick for this part. I must have went to sleep in the dream.

I woke up like normal (FA), but I was in another house, but it didn't occur to me it was different, I just rolled with it. I started to realise things were different. I ended up realising that it was two years in the future. Believe it or not, the first thing I did was log onto DV and see what was going on. The first person I saw was Cygnus on it, with the yellow text like now, and the badge. Then I went to see what staff were there.
First thing I noticed was that Jeff was sort of on the list, but he wasn't a mod, his name was blacked out, and was in another part of the page. Dream guides didn't exist any more, but there were people with no mod powers whatsoever with this sort of colour of name. These people were to help people, and help around DV with stuff.

This is the point in the dream where I realise I am not on a computer (Well, not realise at the time, but where I start to remember it being like this), it was not on a computer, it was outside, in a place similar to the Highrise map on Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. The inside bit of it was like a hotel though, showers, etc.

I was talking to some of the people from DV, I felt pretty sad that I missed a lot. Then I was talking to staff about something, and it turned out that DV was completely fucked up. Everything had fallen to mayhem, no mods available to do anything, only a few of those other people who didn't have mod powers, but they wanted to help so badly.

All of a sudden, I was at "my school", it wasn't really my school, but that is what I saw it as in the dream. I saw that things had changed a lot. I also went to see my family, and I even said to them "I can't remember a thing from the past two years". I asked if I had been to university. Turns out I did go to university, but to do a course I didn't think I would take.

After I while, I started to question how it is possible that I could forget a whole 2 years. I then thought to myself "wait a minute, the last thing I remember from 2 years ago was falling asleep. I think this is just a dream." I then did a reality check. Turns out I was dreaming.

I never really did anything, I just kinda rolled with the dream. No control whatsoever. Pretty rubbish. The rest of the dream I was just doing stupid shit because I knew it wasn't real. I was just running about breaking things etc.

Just remembered my dream/couple of dreams.

I was playing CoD 6 Modern Warfare 2, I must be because I am really exited and I can't wait till it comes out (in two days).

I had a gun that was shown in one of the trailers, it felt really good. I think I was actually IN the game, rather than just playing it. I was doing really good, I don't think I died at all.

That is all I remember from that dream, I also remember being on my computer in another dream, I was on DV, and I can't remember what I did any more.

One of my dreams, I can remember one detail of it.

I saw mes Tarrant naked.

This was a dream which I woke up and went back to sleep, and I didn't write it down, so I have now forgotten the rest.

But I remember more of another dream I had.

I was at home, but it wasn't the house I live in in real life. I don't recognise the area at all. But I saw it as home nonetheless.
Me, my mum and this other strange girl went over to some other house, we went round the back and through a door at the back.

I can't remember what we were doing, but I remember it was something important, and we needed to do it all the time, like go back there and do it again all the time.

And then that other girl turned against us, but I think we managed to kill her before she killed us. Then we found someone else to help us.

And that is pretty much all I can remember.

EDIT:I just remembered another thing
I was on the computer and I went on DV, I noticed there were a couple of names in red but not bold like the admins. My name was also in red. I was actually confused at that point, I had never seen it before, so I clicked on my name and the other one's name to see if I could find out what it was for.
And I can't remember what it turned out to be.

I really need to get back into the habit of writing my dreams down as soon as I can.

Well, I have been quite lazy with my DJ, and I have forgotten most of my dreams that I never wrote down.

I guess I should get myself kick-started again with the little shred of dream I remember.

I remember being in my bed, and I was doing something with Lucozade bottles. I can't remember what, but I remember seeing more bottles on the floor, and I was in my bed, and I couldn't be bothered getting the bottles.


Strange, huh? Especially seeing as my memory of it is fuzzy. I guess you can leave the gaps to your imagination.

I was in my back garden with my family and also CarmineEternity, then we heard the bagpipes from out the front. We all went to see, it was this bald guy with a big box type thing with a circular lid. We all saw it as a musical instrument that sounded like the bagpipes. He started walking down the drive way, then back up. And as he got back to the top of the drive way, he reached in the box thing and took out this weird ball thing, he chucked it in the air and fireworks exploded out of it.

As the fireworks went off, the very first thing I said was "Woooooo!!!" and I was also thinking to myself "He didn't throw them very high, it could hit us".
The fireworks hit every one of us, and it WAS sore. It actually hurt me. So, me and CarmineEternity ran back to the back garden as the fireworks went off, and I was feeling bad for leaving the rest of my family back there. At this point I assumed what he had done was an accident.

But, then I realised, he was still throwing the fireworks to make them hit people. So as the cowardly CarmineEternity was climbing over the back fence, I said to him "shouldn't we save them?", and then he pointed to behind me.

The bald guy was coming for us two now. He threw tons of fireworks at us, and yet again, it hurt. It tended to only really hurt my right shoulder. I must have been leaning on something on my bed.

Carmine was able to jump the fence and run away, and I was hiding behind the fence. So he could see Carmine, so he was trying to throw them at him. but failed. He never found me.

At this point, I think someone came in and fly kicked him and took him out. But I can't remember if this is a false memory nor can I think who did it.

The rest of the dream was just walking about the house and the back garden talking to family.

I was in this big room kind of like the first room of the "Nacht der Untoten" Nazi Zombies map on Call of Duty World at War. And instead of zombies coming, it was spiders. I think there was someone else with me, and we were kicking spider butt.

I woke up, I sat there on my bed, I couldn't be bothered doing anything, so I went back to sleep.

The moment I fell asleep I was in a dream and I said to myself, "I think I will just have a regular dream", then I said to myself "hell naw, if this a dream, I want to be lucid", and of course I had realised I was dreaming.
But, as I said that, my dream slowly faded away, I started to feel my real body again, I was panicking at this point, which didn't help.
Then after a good few seconds I was awake, I was quite annoyed, so I lay there, not moving, picturing that dream scene in my head and telling myself I will keep awareness. And I slowly came into a dream (lucid) I could see everything was back the way it was. But, I felt my real body again, I could feel the really uncomfortable heat of the sun coming through my window. And the dream slowly faded away again, this time it was like object by object, rather than the full thing fading away.
And I woke up, I did the whole DEILD thing again, and I saw my dream scene again then woke up.

This happened a couple of times before I realised it is pointless, because that sun was just making it so unbearably uncomfortable, it just woke me up every time.

So I just left it.

First off, I ended up not doing a nap WILD. But I aim to at some point when I get the chance.

I remember a dream where I was on the computer (surprise surprise) and I went on the game "Runes of Magic" and it seemed normal, and I would not have known it was a dream at all right now, had I not gone on this game after I woke up, I played the game and noticed something that wasn't there any more. And I then remembered, the time when I got that thing that isn't there any more, I was in a dream. (p.s. that thing I am referring to is a diamond)

-------------------------------

The last dream from this morning involved me and my cousin getting the death sentence, I can't remember the details of the dream, but I remember the whole big dream was us being brought on a big journey to where we get killed, I was very upset the whole time, except for bits when I tried to cheer myself up, then I would remember again what was about to happen. But it got to the point where I realised all the things I wanted to do with my life that I have not yet done, and I even said to my cousin (in tears) "I don't want to die, I have wanted to do so many things before I die, which I haven't done yet. I swear to god, I really hope there is a heaven, no joke".

I got very upset, and that was when I woke up, to find tears on my face.

I had never realised how scared of death I am.

Another WBTB morning, my memories of my dreams before I woke up for the WBTB are not good.

I remember that I was inside my house, on the computer and I was on DV chat, and I went on youtube, and I saw a video where someone had made their own song, and it sounded a lot like a song I had started to make myself in real life. I got really angry at the guy for stealing it, I made a big fuss about it, I got off my laptop, I went downstairs, and I can't remember when I did then, but I then remember taking out the trash and then going on the downstairs computer and onto DV chat for like a few seconds, then I went back up stairs to my laptop and onto DV chat.

I'm thinking that DV chat (or just computer in general) is a dream sign for sure.

I will edit this post after my WILD attempt, later on in the morning.

EDIT: I can't remember my dreams now. I was able to remember them earlier, but I never wrote them down. I know that my WILD attempt failed though. I could not get comfortable enough, so I just gave up and went to sleep.

I went up to my school bus as usual, I got up to the door of the bus, and the bus driver said "doctor's note?", I was confused as to why he wanted one, I asked him "don't you mean bus pass?", and he told me "no no, doctor's note, or you ain't getting on the bus".

So I shouted at him "YOU FUCKER" and started walking to school, I started to walk faster, then I ended up running.
I only remember about an 8th of the journey to school, the next thing I remember is me actually at school.
Then there was some kind of talent contest going on, there was this kid playing the guitar for it, and he played a bit, and everyone said he sucked. Then Slash (not me, the actual guitarist) came on stage out of nowhere and helped him, then the kid really fucking rocked. Then Slash started crying "he's way better than me, I'm finished!!"

Then I went home and I saved some kid's life from a falling tree or something. The parents rewarded me with something which was in 3 long boxes. I never even opened the boxes. Then the next thing I remember was being with the kid and his parents and brother in this cafe type place. All of us got a Yorkie bar, and I got a can of Irn Bru.

The next thing I can remember (I think this is into another dream) was being in this weird castle type place. I was with a bunch of other people and we were being chased by something/someone and I found a sniper rifle on the way, but once that thing/person got closer, I took the scope off to make it easier to aim. (this part was kind of like a video game, every time we died, we came back to life again to try again) I finally killed it/him/her and then I remember we walked away and that's all I remember.




Then I had done WBTB, I went on DV chat for about 45 minutes. I then tried to WILD, I lay there without moving any limbs, but I just couldn't keep my eyes still, I tried concentrating on my eyes to keep them still, that gave me a headache, so I remembered that you are supposed to think about something else and it will relax itself. But, my headache was just so bad, I couldn't be bothered with the WILD attempt any more. So, I turned on my side and went to sleep.

I don't remember much of these dreams right now, but I can remember going on my computer and writing in my dream journal here on DV, I remember typing in the title of the post, and I saw the auto-complete thing come up when I started typing, and I noticed the subtlest of things, I saw "october" (without a capital "O"), I thought to myself "I have always put capital "O", I was confused, but before I had a chance to consider whether it was a dream or not; I woke up, I never moved kept my eyes still, I didn't have DEILD in mind, but I landed in a dream and I was thinking to myself "wait a minute, I wasn't here a minute ago, oh yea, I'm dreaming now.

AND BAM!!!
I woke up. And here I am typing out this DJ post.
I could not be bothered trying to DEILD again, because I just kind of felt like it was getting late.


On a side note, I remember in one of my dreams, I was trying to get to the moon. But I don't think I made it there. I had Nomad's black tower thing in mind. But I think I ended up not going. And I could swear I was even lucid at that point too, but, my recall of that dream was so terrible, I just don't know if it was or not, so I won't count it as lucid.

There were a good few dreams which I could remember earlier, but stupidly, I never wrote them down. So these are just fragments of memories.


I remember being in my school, in class like usual, then when next period came, I went to PE, my normal PE teacher was there. A few of my friends were there, but not the people in my normal PE class.

We didn't actually do PE, we did random stuff, moving stuff around and what not. I can't remember fully what we did.

Then it was time for me to go home like I would usually do on a Friday, even though today is actually Monday.

So, I walked out the door, and I was looking for my driving instructor, (this must have come up because I am nervous about my driving lessons starting soon). Then I remembered, "oh wait... That thing starts next Wednesday" and I was very relieved.
So I started walking home like normal, all the normal thoughts were running through me head, "hmmm, should I go to the shop or the baker's..."etc. I was walking out of sight of the school building, I could see the leaves on the ground, the texture of the concrete pavement. Everything seems so realistic when I look back to it. This part of the dream is the part which I remember most, even though it is not that interesting.


Then the next thing I remember is another dream I think. I was in a shopping centre with my mum, and I was looking around to try and buy Slayer a cat girl, weird huh?
Then, the rest of that thing is blurred in my memory.

The next thing I remember is being outside this big mansion, outside it's big gates. I am pretty sure there were other members of DV there, but I just cannot remember right now. For some reason A Roxxor rings a bell. But, maybe he wasn't there.
I cannot remember what we did, I think we were planning an attack on the mansion, but I don't think we got round to it.

And that is all the details I can remember for now. The dream was more interesting and exiting than that, I can remember that much anyway.

This morning I woke up and went to sleep tons of times, my head was full of part memories of dreams. I have forgotten most of them now. This is one that I just remembered there.

I woke up in my dream (FA), I turned on my laptop as usual, Just as I was about to open Google Chrome, I noticed my Desktop Background had changed. I noticed it had went back to my old background. I just accepted that it had changed, I knew that my old OS used to change my background to black all the time, because it was messed up back then.

But, that isn't the worst part of it. My Desktop background is this:

Spoiler for My Desktop:

I knew that was the desktop I should have had, I actually remembered the words "Reality Check" from that picture. I had those very words in my head, wondering why they weren't there.
And in real life I would usually do a RC when I see or think about that background. But I never did one.



This was probably my biggest FA fail I have had.

But, I have been having a lot of FAs recently, and all of them have included me going on my computer, and usually onto DV, and usually into chat.

So, I will now prepare myself for that.
