    Desperation Happiness

    Taking a page from others' DJs:

    Regular text is non-lucid dreaming.

    Purple is lucid dreaming.

    Italics are side-notes and observations.

    I'm a novice oneironaut. Some things I need to work on: Consistent reality checks, remaining lucid, continual awareness, formulating and keeping intentions.

    The name of this Dream Journal came from a dream I had half a decade ago. Almost from a scene from FFVII I came up on a huge sword in a cliff and somehow I just knew the name of the sword was Desperation Happiness. It's stuck with me ever since.

    1. (Before today's lucid dream) A step in the right direction...

      After watching a Glee/Skins (UK) outdoor concert there was a mass of people gathered. At least one hundred people were dancing in formation amazingly. We asked a guy what was going on and he just swore at us then said it'd cost 5 bucks and laughed. I told him very matter-of-factly that was the worst joke I ever heard and asked if it was really necessary to swear at us. He got pissed! He surrounded me with 3 of his friends and at this time I'm lying down like in bed. I imagine fighting the 3 guys and do. Then I 'wake up' but it's not quite a false-awakening because I don't remember ever thinking I was asleep, just, the next thing I know I'm walking down the stairs of my house.

      The front door is open and I check the screen door to see if it's locked by opening it, it wasn't locked. I wonder why it was open. Is someone inside the house? The TV is on, some weird anime is playing where the wise man/narrator keeps repeating "He sleeps and he sleeps and he sleeps" over and over, like some kind of gag-joke". I should've realized then, that was a BIG clue as to what was going on. Some of the lights were on throughout the house. The backdoor into the kitchen was open too and wind blows in through the screen. I am SO confused at this point, what's going on here? Why did I go to bed and leave the house like this? At this moment everything gets incredibly vivid and reality is kicked up a notch. That's when I start to wonder, 'maybe this is a dream!'. I try to move some tumbleweed stuff that blew in from the door with my mind. I got it to move one way, then the other so I'm pretty sure it wasn't just the wind. Just then my phone rings in waking life and I wake up.

      Waking up felt like a teleportation of consciousness from the dream body to the one that was lying in my bed, newly awaken.

      This dream is notable for being the first one where I was actually confused by things in the dream. Even though I didn't reality check for a long time, all of my lucid dreams so far have not involved RCs. Usually I just become lucid like a light switch has turned on. So I think this dream was a step in the right direction.
