Burke's Nightly Escapades

Yep, this morning was epic. I got 3 TotYs done, got a new record in DEILD chains, and a sex LD at the and for a reward

The dream began with me snowboarding, which was wierd because it's August, but i didn't think anything of it. All I remember is going off a cliff and falling several hundred feet. At first I thought I was going to die, and i didn't really panic that much, for some reason, but the second though that popped into my head was that this can't be real, it must be a dream! So I decided to wait for a DIELD instead of trying to save this mess. I instantly started spinning but by this time i was already below the tree line. I never actually hit the ground but instead i just woke up.



I didn't move, didn't open my eyes, and relaxed, remember spinning in my last dream and imagined me in my room, which is normally where i go after DEILDs, and after only a few seconds I was standing in my room, looking out the window into my neighborhood. It worked! i was lucid! I rubbed my hands together, focused on everything around me, and just stood there for a good 15 seconds, I didn't want to waste this one. The first thing that popped into my head was a sex LD, but i did that the other night, so I decided i would try to do a TotY. The first one that popped into my head was the 300 Spartans, a pretty cool one so i walked over to my door and though, "Behind this door is the battle of Thermopoly.

It worked and I was standing behind a bunch of guys who i assumed were romans, all in bronze and armed with shields and spears, and they were standing in the formation they were in the movie. Across the pass I could see tons and tons of persians, in their all black suits from the movie. I spawned a shield and spear, but after a second, i figured since i was in a dream i could do better than just mimicing the spartans. Instead I got two machete type blades and was ready to kick ass. Right as i picked up my weapons, the persians started to charge.

I thought about how i should make this epic, so I yelled out, "Epic music please!" and, surprisingly, it worked! There was some sort of battle music going on, which I've been searching youtube for and have yet to find anything Still, there was an epic battle going on in front of me, and i jumped into it. The moves seem to flow out of me, without any effort at all. I was out in front surrounded by persians, I felt invincible. At one point a dozen persians charged me at once, I jumped up, and decided to try something new, telekenesis. I waved my hand in a motion so that they would fall into the sea, but it didn't work (I should work on that). Instead i used something i already knew, fire. I burned a whole group of them and used the fire to push them into the sea. A little different but it worked . Finally, i decided to just wreck the persians. I tol all the spartans to stand back, which they reluctantly did, and i conjured up an absolutely MASSIVE fire wave! And when I say massive, I mean the width of the entire pass, and probably a mile tall. It took a lot of energy and was hard to hold up, but I just pushed it out towards the persians.

The fire was somewhat translucent so you could see them all run away as the wall roared toward them. They tried to run away as fast as they could, and some even jumped in the water, but they were eventually encased in the fire wall, and all the spartans cheered. I felt like such a badass. I don't normally fight a lot in LDs, just do TotYs/TotMs and the IOSDP. (sorry guys, forgot it started friday night ) I should do this more often! After the fire wall dispersed I started to walk toward the charred bodies but i started to feel the dream fading. I rubbed my hands together to try and save it, but it didn't seem to be working. Maybe a giant fire wall wasn't the best choice for stability. Nevertheless, I woke up.

I found the song that was playing! It truly is awesome music: Youtube.com - Future World Music - Dream Chasers


As you can tell from the title though, I still had 4 more LDs that morning. I patiently sat there and did the same thing as last time, and once again I was standing in my room in another LD. I figured i could knock out 2 TotYs in one go, so i figured i would do Jaws next, since that seems like a fun one. I walked through my door again thinking that i will be on a boat in the middle of the ocean fighting jaws, and it worked! I came out of the hull of the ship (whatever the little room is inside) and was on a ship with one other person. He said that a "whale be after me booty." I told him it wasn't a whale, it was Jaws, a giant shark. The only annoying thing about this is that he had a really thick french accent, but tried to speek like a pirate. Oh god it was annoying! I told him he wasn't french and that he wasn't a pirate, so he stopped talking like a pirate, but not a frenchman. He said, "Im from Canada, not France." A little better but i would've prefered someone else.

At the moment he spoke the ship started to rock violently, as if a shark had hit it! I figured i would just get this done with quickly, since my DEILDs don't normally last as long as that last one, and as i chain them they get progressively shorter and shorter. I saw the sharks fin in the distance and grabbed a shotgun i found laying on the deck. I shot at the shark but it didn't seem to do anything... just like in the movie. I figured that since bullets didn't affect him, and the only other person on the boat was an obsessive animal killer, just like in the movie, so i figured i would kill it with a scuba tank, like they did in the movie.

I taunted the shark to come up on the boat, and even tried to give it a treat like it was a dog, but it just stayed in the water, circling the boat. I decided i would use the canadian, who was just sitting on top of the boat yelling at the thing, as bait to get the shark up here. I grabbed him and put him on the back side of the boat and yelled at the shark again, sayinf i have a better treat now. The shark seemed to like it so he hopped up on the boat and tried to catche the guy. He ran away though and just hit inside the boat for the rest of it. I grabbed a scuba tank that was lying on the back of the boat and threw it at the shark. I wanted to hurry it up since i could feel the dream fading. "Not now, I'm almost done!" I yelled. I grabbed the gun and shot the scuba tank. It didn't blow up. I was pissed, and just decided to explode the shark. The dream was almost completely gone but i was still there, and I just yelled at the shark, "Blow up you bastard!" And he did! The shark disappeared and i could finally sigh a sigh of relief knowing that i didn't waste the dream.



Once again, i was laying in my bed and decided to try for yet another DIELD. I just layed there, didn't do anything and resisted the urge to swallow which had suddenly come up. I was persistant and manage to get back into another LD. I wasn't in my room this time. Instead i was at my cousin's house, which was actually pretty nice. Nobody else was home, which was kind of wierd, but i didn't really care. I decided that I could get away with yet enother TotY, this time, The Godfather. It was a short, simple task that I could get done quickly and wouldn't risk another dream cut short. I decided to try just snapping to the scene this time instead of using a door, which I do sometimes. I thought to myself, "To the Godfather's daughter's wedding," and snapped my fingers.

I ended up in a chair of sorts and there were a bunch of people around me. I was at a wedding! There were two people getting married who I assumed were the godfather's daughter and her fiance, but I had never seen the movie . I walked into the house behind everybody and noticed a large line of people. I figured they were in line to ask the godfather for something, so i just followed it, cutting everyone in line (getting in front of them, not literal cutting ) and making some people angry . I finally made it to a room where a large italian person was sitting there, talking to somebody. I assumed he was the godfather, but wasn't 100% sure. I walked up to him once he was done talking to the other guy, and thought about what i was going to ask. I decided, longer LDs! I talked to him, saying, "Hey, godfather, you give favors on your daughter's wedding day, right?" to which he replied, "of course, haven't you seen my movie?" I shook my head a little bit, but he didn't seem to care.

"Well then," I said, "Can you grant me longer lucids? You know, so I don't wake up early like i almost did last dream." I could see him start to crack a smile, and eventually a grin, and then start to laugh. I was confused, so i asked him what was so funny. He told me, "You imbicile, this is not the day of my daughter's wedding, but the day of my son's wedding!" "Wait," i said, "then you don't grant favors?"

"No, no," he said, "I ask others for favors on my sons wedding." I was surprised. So that was his son getting married, not his daughter. I turned to him and said, "So, umm... what do you want me to do?" I was a little worried, i had no idea what he would say, so i was kind of surprised when he said, "All I want is for you to wake up, and get the hell out of my dream!" WTF! His guards he had right next to his door turned at me and shot me! Like, 50 times! Of course, after this I woke up. Come on though, that's the second TotY that has caused me to wake up because of something in the dream!



I did yet another DEILD and decided I did enough TotYs for one day, and i had a sex LD, to celebrate that and breaking my previous DEILD chain record. However, in it i change dit up, and had sex as a chick instead of a guy. It was really different, but felt really good. I don't know which i like better



After that DEILD i decided to se ehow far i could go. I continued to lay still, and did yet another DEILD. I was standing in my room, again! It was my 5th LD that morning, all of which were DIELDs, and i felt like a king . Unfortunately, before i could even do anything, I woke up due to my mom coming in and making me wake up. I looked at the clock and it turned out that all these dream occurred over the course of about 15 minutes. The dreams combined would have added to about 30 minutes total. That kind of interested me, but I wasn't surprised. Still, I got 5 LDs in one day, and 3 task of the years. All in all, my best yet

The dream started with me being at the beach at what looked like Cape Cod, MA. I could see up the beach towards a pier on one side, and just endless beach on the other. There were lifeguard chairs all along the beach, maybe 20 feet apart, but nobody was there. The beach was filled with people, probably a thousand around me, and it was pretty warm. I took off my shirt and went into the ocean for a swim. The water was freezing. It felt like it couldn't have been more than a few degrees above freezing but it didn't seem to phase me.

I walked out until it was about 3 feet deep and the waves started to get bigger. They grew from only a foot or two to being over 4 feet each. I decided that i had had enough and started to get out. Right when i turned around i felt a sharp pain on my foot and saw what looked like a crab, but it was quickly swept away by the ocean waves. It wasn't very painful, it felt like a bee sting, but for some reason it started to bleed a lot. I didn't think anything of it and just kept walking towards the beach. Suddenly, i saw lifeguards appear on their towers and they all started screaming and blowing their whistles. I didn't really acknowledge them very much but then i felt something smooth and big rub up against my leg.

It was a shark! There were sharks all over the place! (Damn Shark week on discovery ) I literally jumped out of thew water and ran over the top of the water as if i was jesus! I thought to myself, "This is way too strange. Sharks? Walking on water? All that blood? I must be dreaming." So, i checked my hands. they were tiny and only had three fingers. Just to bee 100% sure that i was dreaming i did a quick nose-plug RC and, what do you know, I could breath!

I rubbed my hands together, and focused on the feel of the water on my feet, the smell of the ocean, and the colors of the people on the beach. The dream seemed so vivid, the colors were so bright, but the smells seemed really dull. I thought of what to do and thought i could try some sort of shared dreaming since i had read about a lot of that on the forums, but then i remembered the TotY. I had already done a few of them, and i figured i would try to get one or two more. The first one that popped into my head was Casablanca, though I've never seen the movie.

I didn't even know where Casablanca was, or if it was even a place, but i knew that i had to ask this guy named sam to play me a song in some type of club, so i said out loud, "To Sam!" I closed my eyes for a second and, when i opened them, i was in some cabana-type night club overlooking the ocean. I spotted a large piano and a man sitting beside it playing some song I've never heard it before. I figured this must be sam, so I walked over to him, "Hey, you Sam?" to which he replied, "Nope, my name's Zachary. Sam's over there," he pointed at another piano with a man sitting there. I couldn't really see his face but i saw short, black hair and what i think was a tux. I walked over to him, "Are you Sam?" i asked him. He didn't say anything. I asked him again, "Hey, buddy, are you this Sam guy or not?" He turned around and nodded.

His face was all blurry, like somebody would do to a video trying to hide their identity. I figured i might as well jump right into it and ask him to play me a song. He sighed and turned around. I was quite intrigued as to what song he was going to play, but i was surprised when he started to play Billy Joel's "Piano Man." I guess it makes sense. Heck, a line in the song is "Play me a song, you're the piano man..." It sounded just like the real deal only he didn't have the harmonica (i like that part ) I looked around and all the people in the club got up and started dancing, and some even acted out the song. I found this quite funny as the few who acted it out really seemed like they felt how the song went.

I decided since one part was done, why not do two? So I figured i would try the 300 spartans. I thought to myself, "when i exit the club, i will be in the battle of thermopole" (or however you spell it XD) So, as i walked out the door i was! However, the battle hadn't started yet. The spartans were getting into formation ready to fight the persians who stood across on the other side of the pass. Just as the persians started to charge, the dream started to fade. I tried to stop it. I spun, i rubbed my hands and focused on my surroundings, but nothing worked. The loser the persians got to the spartans the more i lost touch with the dream. Finally, they collided, and right as they did so, I woke up. I tried to do a DEILD to finish off another task, but i just fell back asleep.
