    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 wake up after ~8 hours of sleep, but I still feel very tired.
      I decide to go back to sleep.

      I'm in what appears to be an hotel room, but instead of a bed there is a long desk with 4 PC monitors on it, and some audio equipment including 2 microphones.
      It seems that I am casting a SC2 tournament game from here. I wonder who my co-caster is.
      Day9? o_O That's kind of a surprise. But then I feel like we've known each other for a long time, and it's all normal.
      We cast a game between some well known player and a mouse. (Yes, an actual mouse... the animal >_>)
      After we're done casting (the mouse won) we discuss that this mouse is rather intelligent, and day9 compliments the high APM.
      I'm tired and I want to go to bed... I know we're at an hotel and I can sleep in the next room.

      I'm now in a bed in the next room, but I can't sleep.
      There's about 10 people sleeping in the room, which I find a bit weird and uncomfortable.
      I get up and decide to go for a walk.
      Another guy stands up at the same time, he's a friend from high school.
      We leave the hotel room, which leads straight into my old high school building.
      We walk through the main corridor and he lights a cigarette.
      He hands it to me and I start smoking, but then I realize I'm not a smoker, and the cigarette tastes horribly.
      I put out the cigarette on my hand, because I know it's not going to hurt and throw it into a trash can.

      Some official person from the high school sees this and gets insanely mad at me because smoking is forbidden inside the building.
      I tell him to relax, I'm not even in high school anymore.

      Then he gets even more angry saying I have no reason to be here.
      "But I sleep here!"
      He freaks out, "DO YOU THINK THIS IS A FUCKING HOTEL?"
      (yes)

      I'm now in front of the Hotel/School outside a small restaurant.
      Me and a few friends from high school are having dinner.
      I notice an odd yellowish liquid in my glass, what on earth did I order to drink?
      I take a sip and notice that the liquid has now attached itself to my lip, forming a string between my lower lip and the glass.
      What the fuck is this.
      I try to remove it by pulling on the string with my hand.
      The string just gets longer and longer.
      One of my friends starts laughing at me and explains it's a chemic reaction and some sort of prank. (he's studying chemistry and likes to do pranks in waking life)
      After I get it off I notice that I've just eaten a lot of stuff I don't usually eat.
      I wonder why I did that and stare up into the sky.
      It's night already, I can see the stars.
      Wait a second... I never ate this food, the dream skipped over it, I'm dreaming!
      I look back down to investigate the current scene.


      But when I look back down I notice I'm no longer at the restaurant.
      I'm alone, hiding in between some debris.
      I look around, the scenery feels post-apocalyptic, and reminds me of fallout.
      The streets are cracked, all buildings around appear to have been destroyed by explosions many years ago.
      Everything appears gray and sad.
      Above me is some sort of huge construct, only supported by a few thin pillars.
      Whatever it is, it is falling apart, debris is falling down, which is presumably why I hid in this corner in the first place.
      I hear voices screaming that the things is coming down and will explode, that everyone should make a run for it.

      I decide to make a run for it myself and start running uphill, not getting hit by any debris fortunately.
      Suddenly I notice an hotel to my left, of course, I was at that hotel.
      There are a few cars in front of it, and lots of people running away.
      Why does nobody use the cars?
      I spot a Continental GT and decide it's the fastest and most robust out of them and get inside. (I've driven one in waking life a few times)
      The keys are inside, lucky me.
      The passenger door opens and my dad gets inside "gogogo!"
      I start the engine and drive in reverse doing a 180 to point the car into the correct direction.

      I'm now in front of the street. All people are running to the left, uphill, but I can see the passage is blocked.
      To the right, downhill, is the construct which is falling apart.
      There's no way we'll make it going uphill, I decide to try to drive under the collapsing construct.
      I put the gearbox in manual because I don't like automatics and use the paddle shifters.
      I accelerate hard towards the construct.
      The pillars break, and the whole thing starts coming down.
      I press the accelerator pedal harder, knowing it won't make a difference, and hope to somehow make it.
      And we do, by a meter at most. The construct crashes into the ground right behind us.
      My dad tells me to keep going, the thing is going to explode.

      I drive as fast as I can, luckily the road is straight.
      Then suddenly there is snow on the road, and a corner up ahead... fuck!
      I hit the brakes hard, but the car is barely slowing down.
      I have to swing the steering wheel left and right wildly to prevent the car from spinning out.
      Still doing 220km/h, there is no way I'll be able to slow down enough for the corner.

      But then suddenly my sense of presence turns on, and I can feel what lies behind the corner.
      There is a canyon right behind it, meaning if I can't make the corner we'll fall into the canyon.
      On the other side of the canyon seems to be a salt desert.

      I get off the brakes and back on the accelerator.
      My dad freaks out. "What are you doing?"
      "Trust me..."

      I don't take the corner, I just drive straight into the canyon.
      I close my eyes, and concentrate on the other side of it, and try to lower it with dream control, so that we can make the jump.
      As I open my eyes again, I see that the other side stays perfectly leveled with he falling car, and we make it to the other side just fine.
      I see a massive explosion in the mirrors of the car...
    2. Mountain pass racing

      non dream - lucid - non lucid

      I'm driving my RX-8 over a mountain pass in the alps.
      I think I'm somewhere between Klosters and Davos.
      I remember that it's an awesome road. I've never driven it myself, but I've been in my dad's car many times on on this road.
      But why am I driving to Italy? Oh... that's right... I'm visiting my parents which are currently staying at an hotel in Tirol.
      I keep driving for a bit, the road is empty, I'm the only one on it. The weather is fantastic, the sun is shining but it's not too hot.

      Wait... I am driving my beloved sportscar on one of the most awesome roads in the world, it is empty and I am driving slowly???
      I RC.
      I laugh because I became lucid this way, apparently driving slowly is really abnormal for me.
      I look at the road ahead of me:



      This puts a huge smile on my face. I look in my rear view mirror; no-one there.
      I disengage the traction control, put it into second and floor the accelerator.
      I love the sound of a rotary engine, the way it revs, how it gains power.
      I'm passing 9000rpm and am reminded by a "beep" to change into 3rd.
      I keep pushing it and quickly reach 4th, now going slightly downhill.
      I can clearly feel the aggressive exhaust tone vibrating in my body, as I am pressed into the seat.

      A corner approaches.
      I go hard on the brakes, heel-toe downshifting back into second.
      It feels easy, everything is obvious. I have perfect control over the car.
      Every time I downshift, I hear a loud backfire due to excess fuel burning once it leaves the exhaust.
      I love this car...

      I keep driving down the mountain pass, staying right at the edge of what the car can do.
      It occasionally over-steers, but this is quickly remedied by some counter steer.
      The car is very stable, I feel absolutely safe.

      I'm joined by a RX-7 FD which joins the road in front of me. He's racing as well.
      I try to keep up with him and manage to do so mostly.
      He's faster on the straight but I can keep up with him in the corners.
      Flames shoot out of his exhaust every time he breaks for a corner, and I know my car does the same. Rotaries are awesome.
      We both loose it a bit at one point, while driving over a rather hard to see bump, but quickly regain control after a long drift.

      We approach a small town and slow down.
      This was fun!



      My rx-8 is currently at a workshop because the engine was flooded.
      I got a call yesterday evening telling me that they fixed it and it's running fine again.
      I can't wait to drive it again, even though I've just been without it for 2 days.
