    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.

    1. The mirror towards the land of dream games

      I was at gamescom with a few friends, so I had no way of updating my DJ.
      I'm a bit foggy on the details since this dream is from 2 days ago.
      This was after being at gamescom for a day.


      I'm walking through one of the massive halls at gamescom in cologne with both of my friends.
      The big camera I'm wearing around my neck is quite heavy and annoying to carry around, but I definitely want to make some good photos.

      Suddenly I notice a booth right next to me.
      It's pretty huge and I nearly walked by without noticing it... how weird.
      The booth itself is closed off, as is common with 18+ games, you have to go inside to see what's going on.
      Outside, the booth is covered in surreal paintings which I like a lot, and on top of it there's a huge led sign saying "DREAMS".
      How interesting, there's a game about dreams? How come I've never heard of it?

      I proceed to take a picture of the booth.
      I have some trouble using the camera... it acts weird, but I end up getting my shot.
      Then I notice I've somehow lost both of my friends... how annoying!
      It's going to be a pain to find them in this crowd.
      I just remain still for a few seconds, hoping they'll turn around when they notice they've lost me.

      But they don't... I can't see them anywhere.
      Annoyed, I take out my mobile to call one of my friends in order to meet back up again.
      Unfortunately, I have trouble navigating my contacts list.
      The names appear to be out of order and I have trouble reading names.
      I decide that my mobile is bugged and put it back into my pocket.

      I initially wanted to restart it, but I just noticed that there is no queue to get into the dreaming booth,
      but oddly enough, a lot of people are approaching it.
      I quickly get in line so I can get in. I'll just reboot my phone after this and call my friends then.

      Inside there is more surreal art, and very weird lighting.
      I like it a lot though, it has a very nice and "dreamy" atmosphere to it, which is obviously what they were aiming for.
      In the center of the room there's a very big mirror, stretching all over the room.
      But I can't see any computers anywhere...
      What kind of game is this? Is there no demo I can try out?

      I overhear someone explaining the deal about "DREAMS", that it's not a game you play on a pc, it is a game you play with your mind.
      I get an inexplicable shiver when I hear this.
      He proceeds to explain about the mirror. According to him, only "dreamers" can enter the mirror.
      You can spot dreamers because they have no reflection in the mirror, so they can walk straight through it to the other side.
      Looking closely at the mirror, I can see that I have no reflection, but everyone else seems to have one.


      Wait... I can't believe it took me this long to notice... the clues were so obvious. I'm dreaming!
      The guy giving the explanations realizes that I have no reflection and starts mentioning it very cheerfully:
      "Ohhhhhhhhhhhh! It looks like we've got ourselves a dreamer everyone!"
      He approaches me, clearly wanting to interview me.

      Nope I think, and quickly approach the mirror.
      I want to know what's on the other side... I need to know, I am driven by curiosity.
      I walk through the mirror without resistance and exit the booth on the other side.

      I'm still at gamescom, but everything is different.
      The booths are different, the lighting is different.
      All games are played by dreaming, people just enter them with their mind.
      I am amazed by this idea and I want to try every single one of them
      Excited I start running towards the first game I see, but then everything darkens...
      Shit, I'm an idiot, why did I not stabilize and try to control my excitement?
      The dream ends...
