    Hyu's Adventures

    I've been lucid dreaming all my life. But it is only in late 2010 that I was introduced to what lucid dreaming actually is,
    and that it is possible to induce lucid dreams. Soon after, I discovered Dreamviews.
    These are the adventures and the curiosities I experience in my dreams.

    ~ Recurring Locations ~

    • The Beach (Image)
      A place I often end up in if I get lost, or if I use a means of teleportation without thinking of a destination.
      It is always dusk whenever I am there. Usually the beach is empty, but occasionally something of interest can be found.
      The beach is a place of serenity. A place where I can be alone and safe.
    • Teraluna - Riven (Image) (Image)
      Teraluna is an inhabited moon within a binary star system.
      It is orbiting a blue gas giant. It is only sparsely lit by both suns, which are quite far away.
      Riven is a hidden sky city, hovering over the seas of Teraluna.
      It is a safe haven to all it's inhabitants, and home to Yuya.
      The city is lit entirely by colorful bioluminescent plants and creatures, giving the place a rather surreal and vibrant look.
      Riven is my favorite place to visit whenever I am lucid.


    ~ Recurring Characters ~
    • Yuya (Image)
      She has been in my dreams ever since my early teens.
      Formerly a goddess of water, she now lives in Riven.
      She is my spirit guide (although she does not like to be labeled as such)
      The connection I experience with her is incredible.
      She is my friend, my companion, my love, my ecstasy, my guide and my teacher.
    • Faye (Image)
      She is my dream guide, and often changes her appearance.
      But for some reason she has recently turned evil, and now haunts my dreams.
      She is no longer the same person, and can seemingly no longer be reasoned with.
    • Silver (Image)
      A character from childhood dreams.
      He used to be my rival, but is now my dear friend.
      He is not a man of many words, and I do not encounter him very often.
    • Liv (Image)
      Liv is a succubus, a kind of demon.
      She is young, inexperienced, shy, but immensely kind and compassionate,
      even though at first glance she looks demonic and dangerous.
      Nowadays she lives in Riven. Yuya and I guide her on her path towards adulthood.
    • Shinave (Image)
      Formerly a goddess of ice. She is a wise and intelligent person.
      She is Yuya's mother.
    • Ifrit (Image)
      Formerly a god of fire. A being of terrible force and power, but also incredible wisdom.
      He has lived for many hundreds of years, and still upholds old and conservative ideals.
    • Selene
      A character from childhood dreams.
      She has fallen to the templars a long time ago.
    • Templars
      A vile force of darkness that has threatened my dreams in the past.

      non dream - lucid - non lucid

      (I can't remember the beginning of the dream.)

      I'm standing on a bridge with Yuya (I'm assuming on Teraluna). We want to go to another planet, and she projected the location into my mind so I can take us there.
      My attempt to create a portal to this location is interrupted by Yuya breaking out in laughter.
      I turn around to look at her.
      She is laughing so hard, she barely manages to avoid falling to the ground.
      The way she expresses her emotions impresses me every single time.
      She doesn't hold back at all, she just lets them out unrestricted.


      "Did you just try to... open a portal?
      *laugh*
      Is that how you got here the first time?"

      "Yes... ?"

      She has to hold on to me to not fall over due to all the laughter.
      She looks at me, tears in her eyes:


      "You're one of the only guys in existence with the ability to teleport to any location you clearly remember...
      using only a little energy... and you... opened a portal, stretching over a few million light-years?"

      It did feel weird every time I opened a portal, I always assumed this was not the way I used to travel.

      "Uuuuh, yeah... I forgot... I guess?"

      After catching her breath she puts her arms around me and her forehead against mine.
      She's projecting images into my mind; memories on how I used to travel.
      I have the ability to summon wings which allow me to quickly travel through the fabric of space, basically resulting in very fast teleportation.
      I summon my wings, focusing on the place she has shown me, and try to move both of us to that location.




      (I remember teleporting, but not what happened immediately after arriving at our destination)



      We're on a different planet; a lot of stone, rock and red sand.
      I'm riding on what resembles a gryphon. It's quite big, I'm sitting on his neck.
      Yuya is sitting right behind me. She's holding onto me for additional support.
      We're flying through a massive canyon on said planet.
      It's probably a few hundred meters wide in some spots, but very thin in others, where the gryphon needs to turn fully vertical to pass through.
      There are habitats on each side of the canyon, built right into the walls.
      Some primitive bridges are connecting the left and right side.
      Yuya and I have been talking for some time. (I don't remember the conversation prior to this moment)

      "Oh! and I remember someone else from the past! Or... at least I think I do?
      A woman called Selene... I think she was a goddess?"


      There we go again: Yuya breaks out in laughter.
      I hold onto her arms because she's starting to let go and I'm afraid she might fall off.


      "Selene, a goddess?
      How on earth did you get that idea."

      I tell her about the painting I drew as a kid.

      "Selene... yes, of course I know her, but she ain't no goddess.
      You and Selene were fighter buddies, even before you and I met.
      She was very playful, whereas you became more serious as you grew up, and also much stronger.
      We were hanging out sometimes, but you became so much more powerful than she was, so she couldn't really join you on your adventures anymore."

      What Yuya said feels right, maybe I wrongly combined my memories because of that picture and reading about an other Selene in WakingNomads DJ.

      "But you are the goddess of water, right?"


      "Well... yes, I used to be, but I am no goddess any longer, that was a long time ago.
      I still have all the abilities I had back then, so nothing really changed, but I am no longer officially a goddess"

      "I see..."

      I have a lot of thoughts on my mind. I remember incorporating Selene in a story when I was a child, I think about some of WakingNomad's adventures, whether I'll be able to share dreams one day, and many more things.


      "You're going to loose it..."

      "What?"

      "If you don't focus on where you are you'll wake up..."

      I notice the clarity of the dream has greatly decreased. My vision is blurry and I can no longer feel the wind.
      I try to focus on my surroundings, on Yuya holding me, on the feathers of the Gryphon, but it doesn't work.


      "You're thinking too much. You need to be asleep in your dreams, not awake.
      You need to understand that this is real. As soon as you let go of that, your mind will let go of the dream."

      She's right. The only really long lucid dreams I've had were with her, and they were so overwhelming that I indeed knew every bit of it was real.
      And these are waking thoughts yet again... My vision is gone, I can barely feel Yuya's presence anymore.

      "I'm sorry..."


      I wake up.
