Lucid Dream 218: Wandering Samurai
Series: Fearless, Episode 5
DEILD



....after a few brief moments, I woke and entered right back into the dream state. I stood up and noticed I was standing on a a narrow stretch of a beach. There were hotels on my immediate right and only seemed to be about 20 feet away. The water on my left was also about 20 feet away. I slowly walked down the beach and took in the scenery as I gave the dream time to establish itself (settle in). For some reason, the way I was walking reminded me of Rurouni Kenshin. I decided to act as if I were a samurai. I attempted to summon a sword, but I only could make the hilt appear. I held on to it and acted as if it were a full sword. I began slicing through clothes lines and other object as I walked around the buildings (which were now on the sand and water line). Moments later, I noticed I was now holding a long sword. I reached into my pocket and felt around until I found what I was looking for. I pulled out a dagger.

Now fully equipped I just wandered around the beach area looking for something interesting. I got a sense that someone was following me. I looked over my shoulder and saw a ninja decked out in all black. The ninja saw me looking at him and pretended to be admiring a nearby bush. I laughed at his attempt to play off the fact he was following me (especially since he was a decked out ninja ). I walked slowly and could feel that he had gotten close to me. I spun around quickly and stuck my sword up to his throat in an instant. I noticed that it wasn't the ninja at all. It was now an old lady and she looked terrified. I let her go and told her to never walk up behind a samurai again. I could see several ninjas in the background walking in my direction. I turned and jumped up on the roof of the nearest building.

I now saw that the ninjas were running toward me, but they were still a good ways off. I noticed there was someone standing on the roof with me. He spoke and removed his hood. It was Samuel L. Jackson. He said, "The syndicate has brought you some supplies. Now, you don't have to kill everything. You can use one of these bad boys." He handed me a smoke grenade and some rations. The rations looked like coaster sized pieces of corn bread. I stuffed them into my pocket and tossed the smoke grenade down on the beach below. I looked at Samuel L and said, "They will all die." I noticed a couple ninjas running into the smoke. I leapt off the top of the building and fell down on top of the two ninjas. I plunged the dagger and sword into the necks of the two ninjas as I landed on them (assassins creed style). I stood up and licked the blood off of my sword. It tasted like strawberry. Samuel L was still on top of the roof. I looked up at him, spread my arms wide and gave a smirk. He shook his head and said, "Now you've done it. The entire clan will be after you." I smiled and said, "It won't be the first time I've fought a bunch of ninjas." I noticed there was a large group of them approaching. I wanted a larger area to work in, so I ran away as they gave chase.

I soon came to an open area. It was a playground, but it was on the sand. There were seesaws, merry-go-rounds, slides, swings, etc. The ninjas arrived and started popping out from all sides at once. I shouted, "Feel the wrath of the reverse blade!" I began slicing them up. I performed several neck plunges with my dagger. I also cut a few of the ninjas' heads clean off. I decided to make it more, "Jackie Chan style." I started using the playground equipment around me to fight. I pushed the marry-go-round and hopped on. I sliced up ninjas as I spun around the merry-go-round. I jumped off and the whole dream scene had scrambled a bit. We were still in a playground, but everything was in different places and there were some new equipment as well (those weird animal rocking things and some of those green plastic turtle sandboxes). I climbed up the slide and a the ninjas closed in around it. They were fighting like the foot clan in the old ninja turtles movies (they would wait their turns and come at me one or two at a time while the others stood in the background and moved around menacingly). I slid down the slide and sliced several conveniently placed ninjas (they were standing right beside the slide). I ran into the middle of a gang of them and decided to let them close in on me. I then held out my arms wide. One was holding the sword and the other, the dagger. I then spun real fast in circle and sliced them up with a helicopter like motion. The dream began to fade and I allowed myself to wake, so I wouldn't forget anything.

Lucid Dream 217: The Billy Whale
Series: Land of Dreams: Episode 10
DILD
around 9:30am



I'm out on a large floating square platform with a group of people. The waves of the sea were thrashing hard against the boat/platform hybrid thing . We were whale hunters. I am holding a giant spear with a thick rope attached. I yelled back at the crew, "Here she comes!!! Get ready!!!" I saw a giant white figure pass in front of the boat. I threw my spear into the water. There was complete silence for a while, and I thought I had missed. I picked up the rope to pull the spear back in, but suddenly, rope pulled tight and the boat jerked forward. I fell backwards and we were being dragged around the sea.

Moby Dick (the whale) was pulling us around the sea at a high speed. Whenever we hit a large wave, the boat turned over upside down. We were underwater for a bit and then the boat flipped back over. It flipped several times before I managed to get another spear in my hands. I knew I had to hit the spine and paralyze it. I focused on the back of the whale and launched the spear. I hit it perfectly in the spine. The whale stopped and floated to the surface.

We dragged the paralyzed whale over toward the shore. Just off the shore there was a group of mattresses floated. They were all connected with ropes. It reminded me of Raft Fleet from Suikoden V...only with mattresses. There were many people gathered on the mattresses. The sky was dark and the city in the background was destroyed. The dream is in a post-apocalyptic setting. Whales were our main source of food. I grabbed the harpoon rope and leapt off the boat onto a nearby mattress. A few others joined me and we managed to pull the whale up onto its own mattress. I now noticed that the whale's head was actually the head of Billy Crystal. My friend Cody said, "Corporate must have fused Billy Crystal with a whale." Billy Crystal's head was a greyish tone like the whale's body. It was smiling and started telling jokes, but they all sucked. Finally, Cody brought out a huge axe, and cut off the annoying Billy Crystal head. I don't know if it was the weirdness of the dream or what, but I randomly became lucid.

I jumped off the mattress fleet and landed on the shore. I took flight and flew toward the dilapidated city. Once I passed a the outer circle of the city, I flew upon a section that was perfectly normal. The moon was even shining brightly on this portion of the city. I landed and noticed there was now a beach running along beside me. I walked out onto the beach and there were several couples holding hands as they walked along the beach. I noticed the area was lit up really well for night time. I looked out into the sky and saw there was a full moon. I decided to turn into a werewolf.

I fell to the ground and did my best impression of a person becoming a werewolf. I noticed my fingernails had turned to claws and my skin had changed into a grayish color. I knew I was now a werewolf. I took off running on all fours and leapt high into the air. I landed on top of a nearby couple. I then bit a chunk out of the females neck and she began screaming. Her boyfriend scrambled to his feet, looked at the girl and said, "I guess we won't be seeing each other again, so i won't bother giving out my number....chao!" He then took off running and got into a car that was parked on the beach. I jumped off of the girl and let her go. I took off running on all four toward the car and leapt on top of it. The hood dented in as I landed. I used my claws and began ripping open the top of the vehicle. I then grabbed the guys head, twisted it, and ripped it off. I slammed the head on the ground below me and gave a celebration howl. As I howled, I felt my throat vibrating and soon the dream scene started vibrating around me. I felt the dream was going to end, so I immediately prepared to DEILD.....

Lucid Dream 177: Dark Streets
Series: Meiseki na Yume, Episode 1
around 10:00am
DILD

Category - Exploration


I was in a room planning strategy with several people from the anime, Blood+. We were discussing ways to kill Diva (a queen chiropteran from the anime). Saya was in the room with us, as well as Haji, David, Kai, and Lewis. Suddenly, the door burst open and James "Ironsides" walked in. He stated that he wasn't there for blood, but there to give a warning. He said, "If you pursue Diva, you will all die. However, if you turn Saya over now...your names will be forgotten." I laughed and began making fun of James. I was trying to provoke the evil within him. He also wanted to acquire a large dresser that was in the room with us. It was a vanishing cabinet (like the ones from Harry Potter). He walked up and knocked on it to see if it was hollow. I laughed again and started talking shit. His eyes glowed red with fury, and he stormed out claiming we made a fatal decision. We got back to strategy talks. I was getting bored so I started molding balloons. I was slowly forming faces out of the balloon with my hands. I made a few and then started making a Mega Man face. I looked away at one point and when I looked back, the Mega Man face had changed into a Washington Redskins helmet. I performed a RC and became lucid.

I stood up, turned, and dove headfirst out of the window, taking flight in the process. I was flying over a city. It was dark outside and I heard voices from behind telling me to wait. Saya and a few of the others had apparently became lucid as well. I landed and we all began free-running (parkour). The city was dark and there weren't many street lights. I noticed there were many owls flying around in the city and a lot of homeless people. Several times I performed tricks/stunts over sleeping homeless people. After running around the city for a while, I spotted a chiropteran (human/bat monster hyrid). Me and Saya began battling chiropterans in throughout the city. I cut several of their heads off and Saya finished them off with her blood (her blood is lethal to them). We entered a building and began exploring a crawl space/ventilation duct. I came upon an alternate vent and entered it. The others told me I was going the wrong way, but I ignored them. There was sunlight coming through the vent up ahead. I came to the end of the vent and it opened up onto a beach. I stood on the sand and felt the wind blowing across my face. I could smell the saltwater and even heard/saw several seagulls flying above me. It was a beautiful site indeed. I felt myself waking up, so I immediately prepared to DEILD...
