My Dream Journal; Mentis est Infinata

Last night, I had a dream that didn't really make sense:

Apparently, in the dream, a fan that is painted the color red can cause someone to pass out or something.
So then this "war" started between me (with some friends of mine) and some other team or something. I don't really know.

Anyway, a "war" took place. They attempted to raid us a few times, and we attempted to raid them a few times. I don't remember how exactly the raids worked, but I'm pretty sure that they involved the red fans. After a few raids, things turn a bit different.

The dream suddenly turns into some weird form of the Civ Stage in Spore. Their "base" is a bit more detailed in this part. It looks like a small restaurant that sells burgers. Anyway, my friend launches an ICBM that destroys their restaurant thing and then the war is over.

Then I woke up.

I had a false awakening chain last night. It lasted for an hour; it was horrible!!!
Funny thing is that I was lucid throughout the whole thing, but I had absolutely no control. I tried to control the dream at a few points, but it didn't work.

Each false awakening was almost exactly the same. Eventually, I was able to realize how to tell if it was another false awakening. My dreams always seem to be really choppy, as if they have low FPS. However -- after about 7 false awakenings -- this stopped. Then I started trying to check by the blurriness of my surroundings. This got fixed 7 FAs later as well. Then it just keeps going and going. I don't even know how many FAs I had in that one dream. I do know this; it lasted for exactly one hour.

Eventually, I realized I could probably control the dream. After all, I had quite a lot of lucidity. I tried to take control; absolutely nothing happened. I also kept doing reality checks. At one point, I thought I was once again awake, but then while talking to a DC I said "wait a minute" and did a RC. Sure enough, still dreaming.

I tried multiple methods to wake up; none worked. So, I just decided to sit and wait out the FA. I closed my eyes, and I instantly woke up! Is that not frustrating?!

Nope! I was still dreaming. Unfortunately, I never found out about this. The dream soon faded out.

I really underestimated these FA chains. I'm quite spooked now.

Info:
This is a nightmare fragment I had a long time ago. It's extremely blurry and watered down after all these years. I've done my best to fill in the holes and restore it.

Dream:
The dream starts out in a modified version of my neighborhood. I'm in the driveway next door. It's completely overcast, very windy, and raining very hard. I look up to the sky. The clouds are dark, and moving across the sky at an incredible speed. Worried, I talk to someone nearby. They tell me I'm safe as long as I remain in the driveway. I walk away and continue to watch the raging hurricane, unconvinced.

I've been playing a bit too much Blockland recently, and now it's starting to affect my dreams (just like when I was addicted to Minecraft). I've had Blockland since 2009, and I've been quite addicted to it recently. Anyway, last night I had a dream where I met "Badspot", the creator of Blockland.

There was some type of convention going on for Blockland; there wern't too many people there, but there was a fairly decent amount. It was outside, and the crowd was just having a good time. At one point I spoke to him briefly. The DC that I saw in the dream doesn't look anything like Badspot in RL, because I've seen pictures of him before. Not much happened in the dream, and my recall of it is kind of fragmented, so I'm going to set it as a "dream fragment."

As a side note, I've also had dreams where I've met or seen the developers of Minecraft while I was addicted to it. I'll get around to writing those in some time.

Sorry for the lack of entries lately. However, I have something to make it up; my most WILD experience ever (It's funny because this actually involves WILDs ).

I would like to start off by saying this was a non-lucid dream. The main issue here is that all of the dream's details are scrambled pretty badly. Each detail is split into two, and both halves are basically the opposite. I can't tell if the advice was written or being spoken aloud. If it was spoken aloud, then it was one of the following: a powerful, god-like voice that seemed to echo in all directions; and a weak, nerd-like voice. In the spoken aloud case, one detail is clear: my dream guide is male. I was actually expecting it to be female, because it's very common for people to have dream guides of the opposite gender.

I don't know what to make of this, but I know what he told me. I remember exactly what he said, but not in words, not in sounds, and not in pictures. I remember it in code; and I'm not talking about something like binary, numbers, letters, symbols or anything else. I can only remember and describe it in pure thought and nothing else.

I am unable to translate my DG's advice into words; all I can tell you is this: Recently I've been struggling greatly with WILD. My DG has giving me some advice with it. He insists that it is almost guaranteed to help me and that I should expect to finally do a WILD successfully tonight as long as I put forth enough effort. Unfortunately, I cannot share his advice because it involves personal information. Plus, both me and my dream guide agree that this method would be ineffective to the vast majority of lucid dreamers out there.

I understand that this is all very difficult to understand and believe, but it is true and I promise no lies were spoken in this entry; if I have deceived, mislead or confused you in any possible way, please know that I did not have any intent of doing so. I assure you that I'm quite confused myself. I've heard of shared dreaming and all, but I've never heard of anything like this.

If you have anything to say on the matter, PLEASE let me know!

I've been lazy recently. I haven't done any reality checks and I'm just now getting back into doing dream recall (Along with my special dream listing method).

I have had a massive lack of DILDs and they have had poor lucidity. It doesn't even feel like a real lucid dream. I don't think this is what your average DILD is like, but that doesn't matter. I'd say it's time to move on to WILD.

I have done some weak attempts to do WILD, all of which failed. I'm usually a VERY patient person, but this seems to be an exception. I'm trying again tonight. I will have a WILD.

...I have a feeling tonight is going to be quite a WILD night.

I think I accidentally had a WBTB LD last night. In fact, I'm quite sure of it. I can remember my conscious mind controlling the dream instead of my unconscious one, yet I wasn't aware that I was dreaming somehow. I'm going to try and replicate this tonight.

A tiny dream fragment. I remember editing a video in Sony Vegas. That's all I can remember.

3 Words: BEST. DREAM. EVER.

I suddenly become lucid. Not sure how or where. I decided I wanted a Terminator 3 based dream. So, I summoned the TX and the T-850. Like in the movie, the TX tries to kill me and the T-850 defends me. I don't remember much from the dream, but I remember this part very clearly:

I was in a school. I ran into a classroom and went in the closet to hide. It was completely empty, not even a shelf or a light. I could see as if there was a light, though. Unfortunately, the TX opened the door, and the first thing it saw was me. It didn't even have to look around first. It just walked in and looked straight at me as if it already knew where I was hiding. It prepared it's weapon and was about to fire it. I was afraid if I was killed the dream would end, so I teleported the T-850 to the classroom. It took full advantage and shoved the TX to the floor. I can't remember anything else, so I'm going to consider it a dream fragment.

Again, BEST LD EVER!!!! :bravo:

If you haven't seen the movie, you should check it out!

Another DILD last night.

The first part was vivid, but the rest was an absolute blur. Probably for a good reason (My listing method was in effect somehow). Anyway, something happened that made me question if it was a dream or not. I walked away and did a nose-plug RC. I experimented with it a little, kind of fascinated. I can't remember anything else. I probably lost lucidity at some point.

I remember seeing that it was pouring rain somewhere nearby, but not a single drop near us. It's funny because the same type of stuff has been happening in RL lately.

Last night, I had a FA. I was in bed. I was thinking about doing a WBTB. Unfortunately, my thoughts were too sluggish (Because it was a dream) and I thought WBTB required you to not move at all after waking up. Should have done a reality check. Note to self: Do a reality check whenever I even think about lucid dreaming.

My dream recall has been poor lately. I'm glad to finally have some odd dreams for this DJ. This is my most random dream so far.

I was at school sitting on a bench and waiting for my bus to arrive. I had absolutely no clothes on (O_o). I got up and was about to walk somewhere when a random DC came up to me and said "Don't even try to hug me!"

I can't really remember what happened after that.

DCs can be so silly sometimes.

Bah, had a dream last night but I can't remember a thing about it. Minecraft, maybe?

Another DILD last night. I'm getting better at this.

This time, I had much more lucidity and clarity than before. Still not enough to remember those dream commands, though.

I don't remember what made me do a reality check, but I was lucid enough to remember to stabilize the dream. I did the trick where you rub your hands together. For some reason it didn't work. I didn't notice, though.

The dream was very blurry. Can't remember anything. I remember stabilizing the dream and flying. That's all. I don't even remember doing a reality check.

All I need to do is become lucid enough to remember the "More lucidity!" dream command. Then I'll be fine. D:
