      Date : 26th May, 2010

      I was inside a castle. There was a gigantic ball in full swing going on. I entered through a large hallway, which was made of fine, polished marble and extremely subtle silk hangings, which were blood red with a black dragon crest in the middle. The pillars of the hall were made of pure gold, with an amazing spiral design.
      I went inside the main ball room through a large gate, which was also blood red and had golden fixings, patterns and handles. A chauffeur opened the gate for me. I entered, and was truly exhilarated. There was a fine carpet, huge enough to cover almost the whole of the ball room. There was a platform on which a band was playing. It was a sad, deadly tune, which filled me with despair and horror.
      I walked ahead, somewhat enjoying the scene. There were rows and rows of tables neatly arranged in a line, with every delicacy you can imagine. Waiters were bustling here and there, carrying goblets of a wine like liquid, which surprisingly looked like blood. I took one from a waiter, and took a sip. It tasted really weird, but also very pleasant.
      I started to look around. Somehow, I felt at ease here, like I have been to a lot of balls like this, and was used to the luxury and finery of it all. In the middle, couples were gracefully dancing to the tune. All of the the women were unimaginably beautiful, and the men were extremely handsome and suave.
      I saw a hanging nearby, and my eyes fell upon the black dragon crest. Due to my habit of RCing whenever I see the color black, I looked at my fingers. There were ten on one hand, and seven on the other.

      I became lucid. A good practice which helps me have long LDs is that I never to anything very exciting right into the dream. I though of trying a technique I thought up. I created a banner, and wrote "This is a dream, do not lose lucidity!".
      It was quite difficult to write, but I somehow managed it. I made that banner hover in mid-air, so that it was always in my field of vision. That way, I would become lucid again even if I lost lucidity. I was successful. Every time my eyes fell upon the banner, my lucidity ricocheted, as did my clarity and the sharpness of the dream.
      I started to notice the environment around me, to get it more detailed. There were all sorts of decorations, but all in that same black and blood red color scheme. I tried talking to some DCs. I asked a girl nearby, "Hey, where is this place?"
      "Hollywood.", she says, and walks on.
      A little amused, I try to talk to some more DCs. Around this time, I noticed something really odd with all of the people around me. Their skin was extremely pale. Almost as white as pure snow. They had a "demonic" look in them. And their eyes were cat-like slits.
      Something clicked on my mind. This is a vampire's party. The whole castle is filled with vampires!
      "Like it?" A voice said from behind me.
      I turn around, and see Leona standing there. She looked the prettiest of them all. And the most "demonic" among them. Everybody halted in their tracks. She came up to me.
      "How do you like it? This is my ball."
      "Whoa! This is YOUR ball? That means, this whole castle is yours?"
      "Yeah."
      "Cool! But.......How come the people here are all vampires?"
      "They are just DCs, to liven up the party."
      'But why VAMPIRES?!!"
      "Because I like it that way. Anyways, wanna dance?"
      "Yeah, sure."
      She leads me to the center of the room.

      I lost lucidity. I was just dancing along with Leona, my mind completely blank and carefree. I forgot what was around me. I seemed to dance for a long amount of time, truly lost in the beauty and the perfection of the whole scene. Suddenly, a large banner flew up in front of me. It read, " Y #E$* DB&G# " (or something like that)
      I thought, "Weird. Why is it flying in my face?"
      I remembered something. Wasn't I the one who made this thing? In which case, WHY did I make it? I suddenly remember the reason, and
      become lucid.
      I was still in the same scenario. My dream landscapes usually don't change much, even if I don't pay attention to them. Don't know why.
      Now, all of the guests were looking at me and Leona. They had a killing intent in their eyes. Why did they suddenly turn hostile?
      Each and every one of them was now coming towards us. While I was panicking, I saw that Leona was wearing an armor, the same as before. She was grinning. What a blood thirsty DG!
      I summon some armor for myself too. Leona takes out a sword. It was the most beautiful yet strangely mysterious sword you can imagine. It was a long thin katana, somewhat like mine, but it was bright blue, and a silvery white aura was flowing out of it. There was also something "electric" about it.
      "Cool! Where'd ya get that?"
      "Shut up and fight already."
      "Oh yeah!"
      I take up a stance. I don't summon my sword, fearing me getting killed by it again.
      "What's this? Where's your sword?"
      "Ah..........I........like to fight with my hands."
      "Yea right."
      She grabs me, and opens up a tear in the fabric of space and time in front of us. She jumps into it, dragging me along. In an instant, we are on a large island in the middle of the sea, with very few vegetation and trees.



      "We can practice with peace here. Now, what's up with your sword?"
      I tell her the whole story. While telling the story, my eyelids were dropping, as if they suddenly got a lot heavier. It felt like I wanted to sleep, and very badly. But I forced myself to open my eyes.
      I was still on the island. Maybe Leona understood whatever I was blabbering while semi-lucid, because she had a serious look on her face now.
      "Well, summon your sword."
      "But....."
      "You ass, how'd you plan on fighting without it?"
      "Maybe you are right."
      Using the expectation technique again, I summon my sword. It was the same. And there was that black fire and that vibration again.
      "Whoa!" Leona said. "This sword is totally made up of your negative thoughts and emotions. Quite a dark one. You sure you wanna control this thing? Try settling for something easier to control
      "Nah, I'll take my chances, if it's really that powerful. But, what do emotions have to do with dreams and swords?"
      "Man, it's hard to believe that anyone could be so ignorant. Your WHOLE dream is effected by your emotions. Try thinking of something that brings tears to you."
      I did so. Suddenly, heavy rain started to pour.
      "See. Thats the influence of you emotions."
      'But....."
      BOOM!!!!!
      A catastrophic explosion. I was nearly knocked unconscious by it. There was Devil Jin again. He was looking at me with a leer.



      "Okay, time for some real excitement. That girl over there can only tell you so much about me. Listen up, kid. You wanted a really powerful sword, didn't ya? This sword.......is me. Or I am this sword. You created me without knowing it. You were fantasizing about being dark and evil and stuff while creating this sword, that's why you got it like this.
      "Huh?!"
      "That lady was correct. You ARE really dumb. Anyways, it's like this. You played just a little too much with darkness. So I am here to test if you really are fit to control me. If you defeat me, I will not come up again, but if you lose, you're gonna lose all of your powers. And that includes flying. I am starting NOW!"
      'Wait, wha....???"
      "WATCH OUT!!"
      Leona grabs me, and teleports a good distance away. My vision is like I am viewing everything from underwater. Jin had been behind me, and was about to cut me in half, when I was saved by Leona.
      "Whew. Thanks."
      "Shut up and fight!"
      I run toward Jin, with almost unbelievable speed. In an instant, I am right in front of him. I punch his stomach, but he catches my punch in mid-air. I hear a voice behind him.
      "Did you forget that I am here too?"
      A flash of blue. Leona was behind him, and had slashed him quite deeply. He was surprised.
      I touched my tattoo. I EXPECTED the transformation to follow after I did so, and so I transformed.
      It was a little painful. Again, I grew black wings. My hands and feet became razor-sharp claws. My eyes become those slits again. I suddenly feel a burst of adrenaline and power.
      I looked around a bit and saw that Jin had healed up, the wound on his back was closed as if it never was there.
      Leona slashes him a few more times, but all of his wounds heal up in an instant. He grabs Leona by the face and flings her away. She was surprised. I used my crappy telekinesis to slow her down a bit, and she was able to stand up and came to a halt.
      "Shit. I underestimated him."
      She stopped time again. We both rushed at him, and he was standing still, as if paralyzed. Too easy.
      He disappears, and appears right behind us.
      "Heh, I can move from one place to another so fast that the time taken for travelling that distance is zero. It's equal to stopping time." (Note: I don't exactly remember what he said, but I am sure he meant something like this.)
      I use magic. The familiar rings appear on my hand again. I wanted to try one thing I didn't do before.
      I touched the water symbol, and the wind, both at the same time. An immense wave of water flowed out out my hands, followed by a fierce wind that directed it towards my opponent. The force of the water was so great that he smashed into the wall behind him, leaving several deep cracks in it.

      I became non-lucid here. I suspect that I had a DEILD in the process, and the dream continued with a new one. I wasn't lucid. All I was doing was fighting Jin without knowing why. Leona, whom I forgot was my DG, swing her sword in a horizontal, circular motion. Huge shock waves cam from her sword, and hit Jin simultaneously. With each hit, he was pressed deeper and deeper into the wall.
      I became lucid again, after thinking for a while about who was that girl helping me. Then I remembered. She is my DG!
      Jin was heavily injured. I wanted to end this soon. I looked over at Leona. She understood, and threw me her sword. It flashed in air for a bit, and I caught it in my hand. As soon as I touched it, all of my anger and hatred flew out of me, and was replaced by hope, love and warmth. Heh, as expected of Leona's sword.
      With a burst, I rushed toward him. He was almost unconscious, being injured that badly. I am ten meters from him. Five. One. Clang!
      My sword hits and invisible barrier. I see Jin smiling.
      "You can't cut me with THAT sword. It's not made for you to control."
      Maybe he was right. But I saw a way around it. Throwing Leona's sword back to her, I quickly put my palm on his face. Good. At least I can reach him.
      Since he won't be defeated by that "good" sword, I decided to try something else. My view switched to second-person here, as if I was right beside myself.
      The rings were still there near my wrists. Almost instinctively, I touched the symbol for darkness.
      I don't really always know which symbol I am pressing, but by EXPECTING that symbol to be pressed, I can use magic a lot faster. I am not sure if those symbols even remain the same, because text and the like changes in dreams, right? But since it's all Japanese or something, I can't understand.
      Again, the dark fire came out from my hands. With my left hand, I slashed him through the middle. My claws were sharper than I thought. He was sliced clean in half. He turned to dust, and vanished.
      In the spot where he was standing, there was my sword. I heard a disembodied voice.
      "Good work, kid. Guess that's it for now."
      I picked it up. It was normal again.
      Leona was right beside me. What THE heck? Wasn't she a good distance away? Oh well.
      "That really IS one tough sword."
      "Yeah, better than that emo sword of yours. What's with all the love and warmth and the goodness thing? I mean, you're WAY more evil than me."
      Leona grins. I see her blood red vampire eyes for the slightest moment. "I need something to keep that evil inside me. This 'good' sword acts as a cancelling thing. Without it, you'd be dead one minute into each and every one of your dreams."
      "Wha.....??!!"
      But I didn't get to ask more. I could feel a sudden vibration inside me. The vibration get's stronger and stronger, and my vision starts to blur. I try to spin, but I have no control over my dream body. The vibration gets even more violent, and I wake up.


      PS sorry for the late update, guys. I am quite busy here with my exams, for the moment. They will end one week from now. Look forward to daily updates after my exams finish!

    2. Demonic Sword!!!

      Sword Goes Outta Control?!!

      Rating : ★★★☆☆

      Date : 24th May, 2010

      I was in a large and luxurious shopping center. There were three floors, and a lot of shops with weird stuff. I was with two of my friends. We all were eating a burger and drinking coke, and going around window shopping. (For some reason, we couldn't buy anything because we had only three million dollars.) I am walking a little faster than the other two, excited by the shops and the stores. We are on the topmost floor. There is a spot on the floor so that if you stand there, you could see the outside scenario and the entrance to the shopping center. I look out, and was surprised by what I saw.



      It was exactly like the image above, and the dragon was the same, too. I was a little amazed, but not enough to turn me lucid. Excusing the whole thing as movie props, I look down the glass window, seeing the entrance. It was normal, alright. I could see a lavishly decorated Mercedes Benz as a prize for a draw displayed in the front. I think, "Cool. I think I saw something similar in real life................huh? Real Life?! What's that supposed to mean?! This is.......This is a dream!"

      I become lucid. Wow. Cool RC. Anyways, the vision was not really clear, and the dream was unstable. After a round of the usual clarity and stability exercises, everything becomes crystal clear.
      I get an idea. Why not act like a freaky monster and kill all the people here. They are just DCs, after all. I summon my katana again. I feel a rush of energy through my body, and a great sense of excitement. Rushing towards the nearest DC, I slash him in half. I see the same black flames around my sword again.
      The surprised DC splits in half, alright, but after a while, a clean cut appears in the wall behind him, extending from one side of the center to another, slicing the whole building neatly in half. All the DCs there start to scream. I was surprised. I didn't intend to swing with that much force.
      I studied it closely. Everything was same, and it was vibrating and shaking, as if trying to get out of my hands. I could see the words "Espada el Diablo" shining and glowing brightly.
      Now I could feel a deep, dense, and dark aura from it. I could hear faint screaming from inside it. Now seriously considering destroying the sword, I look about for a means to smash it or something. As soon as I let it go, it breaks free of my grasp, points towards me and



      stabs me in the stomach. I was very surprised. I had never heard of a summoned object doing so in a dream, going against the dreamer's will. I could feel pain in the wound. It was very realistic. I could also feel the wound burning. I start to faint. I rub my hands, but nothing happens. I spin, but instead of the dream stabilizing, I fall to the ground. Not good, at this rate I'll wake up! I was helpless. I kinda hoped that Leona would come again, but she didn't. I was losing consciousness. I looked at the sword again, and saw this.



      Devil Jin. He was standing there, leering at me. In his hands was my sword. He started to laugh. A cold laugh that chilled my very bones. He took one last look at me, and swung the sword at me. An immensely powerful shock wave, and I wake up.


      What THE hell is up with me? Too much fantasy, I think.

      I get beat up....

      Date : 19th May 2010

      I dreamed I was in my room. It was normal here. I couldn't tell it from real life. I was busy doing preparations for the trip to Alaska. I packed my clothes and stuff, inside a teapot. They all just shrank and zoomed inside the cup, fitting easily. It was almost like magic. But that was normal. Teacups are used as suitcases in real life anyways, I thought. I also remember putting in a toilet seat inside, for some purpose. When I had finished, I went out out my room. In real life, I have made a mental note to do an RC every time I open the door to my room. Following the habit, I look at the wall clock that hangs near my door. 1:30 pm. Quite normal. Oh yeah, I have to look twice. Almost lazily, I looked again at the clock, thinking that it was a waste of time. The time was now 1:15. Hmmmm, that's odd. Maybe I read the time wrong before? Oh well, I will miss my bus to the airport if I don't hurry. So I continue out again, but I find that the door is closed. I pull it open again, but no go. Now seriously doubting reality, I decided to nose-pinch. I could still breathe!
      I become lucid. I tried to sharpen my view. I spun around. I didn't feel dizzy, but my vision was certainly a lot clearer, as if some kind of fog had been lifted. I looked at my hand, just for extra lucidity. There were seven fingers in both hands. Again, my lucidity increased quite a lot. I open the door to my room again, but it was locked. I didn't want to do anything particularly powerful or exciting so early into the lucid. So I just kicked it away.
      But I was now inside a roman stadium. I was never good at history, so I probably didn't know what was going on. There was an audience in high benches all around. There were gold fences around me, but the arena itself had a floor of dirt, mud and clay. In the distance I could see split air-conditioners all around. Good. I don't like being in hot weather anyways. I was wondering what to do, when I noticed that the walls of the arena had cages inside them, and there were large tigers caged inside. They were wearing black and gold armor, and quite heavy ones at that.
      Suddenly, a stage comes up with a commentator on it. He grabs the microphone, and shouts, "Battle of the warrior! Start the fight!"
      Cool. Just what I wanted. Even my dreams know my preferences.
      The bars of the cage disappeared into thin air. A lump of raw meat landed near to me. It was a bait. Smelling the meat, the tigers in heavy armor rushed at it. One of them took the meat and swallowed it whole. Now they were looking for food elsewhere, and spotted me.
      My dream was destabilizing. I can tell when it's so because it starts to slowly fade/blur around the edges and then disappears whole. So I rubbed my hands. The faster I rubbed, the more the dream became clear. At last when it was clear enough, I did the nose-pinch RC again. I could still breathe.
      The tigers were now circling me. I summoned my katana from thin air, expecting it to be in my hand when I look at it again. I decided to name it Darkness. If you look upon the description, it fits, really. It slowly materializes. But now there is something wrong. It feel heavier than before. There are black flames already around it. What?! I didn't do anything yet. Also, it was harder to control than before. It started to vibrate a little. But when I touched the sword, I really felt a kind of sadness and a thirst for killing. When I put it away, it was gone, but as soon as I held it again, there was that feeling again. And all the time there were black flames wrapped around it. Strange. True I had it only once before, but why is it so weird?
      All this time I was pondering about my sword, the tigers were standing still, as if time was frozen. Now everything snapped back to reality. Dream reality, more like. I decided to fight using my sword, and just ignore the unusual behavior.
      One of them jumps at me. What was that guy thinking? I love special effects during my dreams, because they are the only times I get to do stuff I can not do in real life, and I try to take as much fun from them as possible, not start meditating and go around asking my DC's or even Leona about life. Get to the point, fighting.
      I am a pretty peaceful guy IRL, y'know.
      The tiger is now an inch away from me. I slash him, but the only thing my eyes can see is my hand blurring for a millisecond, and then back to the normal position. So this is what it felt like to have supernatural powers at will. A deep slash appears on the tigers middle, and he drops, making weird noises in pain. I take pity on him, because even if he's a DC, I don't like killing animals. I look away from him, and back again. Now he is completely cured, and small as a kitty. He meows a thanks. I said out loud to him, "Now go away before I unleash my passion of kicking kittens."
      Though I was kidding, he fled. I realized I couldn't fight the others. I just don't like animals in pain. So when I look back at the whole bunch, I expect there to be a large number of skilled ninjas. My best technique is the expectation technique, because it always works for me. Indeed, there are about twenty or so ninjas now. One of them comes at me, wielding a white katana, which is more like a dagger. I disappear, and appear behind him again. My favorite move. He hangs in mid-air for a second, and then his body splits cleanly in two. If I made them all like real men, there would have been a lot of mess, so I just make dust shadows. Fun to kill, and they don't make a mess.
      His body turns to dust and disappears. Enraged at the fall of their comrade, they all rush at me in sets of five or four. Too easy. I was going to use flash step again, but at the last moment my sword felt real heavy and started to vibrate quote violently. What's wrong with this thing?

      PS you might be wondering that how come my LDs are so long? Well, a picture's worth a thousand words, so divide all that text by thousand and you get a frame of the whole video clip. In short, it takes much more typing to describe the dream than it takes to experience it.
      Now the ninjas are dangerously near me. But I don't care. I can fight without my sword as well. I punch the one in the front in the face, and he flies back a long distance, hitting a wall and slumping to the ground. I beat all of them in about five seconds, and that includes the other ninjas as well.
      I was still in that same old Rome style arena. And the audience was still there. With the ninjas out of the way, I decided to check what was wrong with my sword. It was still emanating that dark fire, and still was heavy and vibrating. The more I looked, the more there was to see. To give you guys an idea of what my sword is like, here's a pic:



      But my sword is pure black instead of shining metal like the one above. I had never looked at my sword up close. There was the silver line along it's middle, alright. But now near the hilt, and on the blade, were engraved small words, reading "Espada el Diablo", literally meaning "The Devil Sword". Something to do with Bleach, I thought.
      Suddenly, a sharp pain pierces my back. I got shot! No wonder I did, standing in the middle of an arena looking at my sword. I looked at my attacker. He was Dante, from Devil May Cry.



      What the HELL?! I DO NOT play Devil May Cry!
      "Surprised?", he says. "I figured you would be pretty strong, having defeated Nero."
      So that's what it was all about.
      "Wait, you got the wrong....."
      He suddenly fires on of his guns at me. It was a direct aim at my head. I use my other favorite, rather instinctive move, tilting my head slightly to one side. Why, you ask? Because it looks cool.
      "I have got no time to kid around, and I don't take shit from anyone except cute girls. Just fight already."
      "As you wish."
      I stabilize my dream again, just to be sure. That way I won't drop unconscious in the middle of the fight.
      "Just to warn you, I am not that Nero guy. I am way ahead of him."
      I see. No matter, I will defeat this guy as well.
      I wait for him to make the first move. He suddenly appears on my right. What?! He was in front of me! Wait, he is still there! Two of them? The main one fires two simultaneous bullets, which I barely dodge in time. The copy, which I took for as being weak, kicks me hard in my side. It hits me, and I go flying over, smash into a wall, and fall to the ground. What the hell is with this guy? It's not like I am that weak or something, but this is damn crazy.
      Instantly, he is standing by my side. He points a gun to my chest.
      "I told you, I am not Nero."
      He fires, aiming squarely for my heart.
      A flash of blinding white light follows the blast. In real slow motion, I see Leona, in a dark cape, fly between my a Dante. Moving lightning-fast, she grabs the bullet heading towards my head in mid-air with her finger and thumb, then grabs me and flash steps a distance away.
      Now I notice that she is also wearing an armor of some sort. It's black and purple. Nice combo. She smacks me on the head.
      "OW! What the hell do you think you're doing?"
      "You are pathetic. Asking for a DC that powerful and getting beat up."
      "Hey, I didn't summon him, he came by himself."
      "Yeah, and you didn't long for a strong opponent all this time, did you?
      "Well............."
      "Tch...............what an idiot. Can't even control your own emotions."
      She disappears from beside me. Now she is face to face with Dante. I get up to help, but my body is paining to much to even stand up. I feel a kind of vibrating and a burning sensation.
      "Just stay where you are. I'll take care of this guy."
      Hearing that, Dante says, "I'm sorry missy, but I don't really fight with girls. How 'bout we get a nice drink instead?'
      "Don't underestimate me." she says, glaring at him. In third person, I saw her eyes contract to cat-like slits, her expression angry and cruel. Her eyes were red again.
      She disappears from view. I deep wound appears on Dante's right hand. He drops his gun in pain.
      "I told you, don't underestimate me."
      Leona is behind him! He quick jumps back a good distance away, grinning.
      "I see what you mean. Sorry, but I'll have to go all out against you. No hard feelings, 'kay?"
      He disappears, and so does Leona. They are so damn fast, I can't even see them. All I see is just faint blurs, bursts of Dante's gun, and sparks of light. They finally stop. Dante is on one knee, panting. Leona is still unhurt, and is smiling. Dante gets up.
      "I'll have to use my ultimate technique."
      Suddenly, there are ten Dante-s all around Leona.
      "This enables me to make copies of myself, each as strong as me."
      They all open fire. But Leona is too fast for all of them. She defeats each and every single one of them in a flash.
      "Copies, eh?"
      Now there are countless Leona-s there. They all are moving independently. One of them says, "Then how about this? This is time control. Each and every one of these is me. That's because to you, I am here."
      Another one says, "And I am also here."
      Dante is standing in shock. He can't begin to comprehend anything. Time freezes. Or rather, Leona freezes time. But there are about 20 more Leona-s there. What the HELL?!
      One of them says to me, "I am freezing time every time I freeze time, creating loops of time freezes. That way, each and everyone of myself is behaving independently, is controlled by me, and can attack more than twice at once. My ultimate technique."
      This is too much for me to grasp. All of the Leona-s jump up, and send a huge wave of energy at Dante, who is frozen.
      I can see the instant the shock waves hit, and then feel the power. One of the shock waves, when I was hit by it, split my body nearly in half when Leona used that move. To think a single person would receive over 20 of those. The explosion was unfathomable, and Dante disappears, totally wiped out by the extreme explosion.
      I was losing control and vividness. I knew I couldn't hold on, the pain was too great. That was a powerful blow.
      "Hey Leona! Just tell me one thing, are you my DG or someone else's as well?"
      "Ah, you are worried after reading those posts on the forum, are you?"
      "How'd you know that?!"
      'I am your subconscious after all. But no, it's definitely not possible for two people to have the same Dream Master, thats coz DMs are manifestations of you personality."
      "Really? Does that mean my personality is girl-like?"
      'What an idiot! Don't you see any other quality besides being a girl? Never mind. I am only your subconscious. Yours only."
      "Sounds more like a love confession, you know."
      She punches me in the face. But there is a smile on her face.
      "Thats another couple of week's of hell training for you!"
      "Wha..........?"
      I couldn't do anything anymore. I feel my whole body shaking, then vibrating violently. I try to rub my hands, but nothing happens. I feel like I am floating in a void. I don't remember anything after that. Dozed off to normal sleep, I guess.

      The log (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I was running from the door into my house towards the gate, but the gate was not there. Instead of a gate, a large log was in its place. I ran very fast towards the log and jumped over it, but i realised that it was supposed to be a gate. So i turned around and did a RC (finger push) and my finger went through my hand. I could see my skin break because of my finger and i did not have any blood. At this point i realised i was dreaming, so i decided to attempt to shapeshift. I stretched my arms infront of me as i attemped to transform. My finger nails started to take on a claw like appearence and my skin started to go light red. But i decided to give up as i was getting nowhere and the dream ended.

      Afterlife (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      This dream is connected to a dream i had previously, but i could not remember much about the previous dream.

      I died in the previous dream (i can't remember much, but i died after using a missle launcher that launched nuclear missles) and i woke up in my house. My house was pretty much the same as in real life. I can't remember how i discovered it but it turns out i was dead and i was in the afterlife. Because of this i decided to go flying around the house (i don't think i was lucid). I had problems staying in the air while i was flying, but i remember it being fun. After i got tired of flying around the house i decided to go into the garden. But my garden was very different from the one in real life. The shape of the garden was pretty much the same, even though the place i use to make bonfire's was gone. The fences and the trees surrounding the garden in real life were gone, they were replaced with three large buildings (the types you would see in cities) that were very tall. I tried to fly up to the top of one off the buidling's but i kept falling back to the ground. After i tried doing this for a while i woke up.

      First Lucid (WILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I was in my house, there were primary school children looking around the house. They were brought to the house by a teacher that used to teach me lessons in my old primary school. After wondering around the house for a while i decided to go to my room. As i entered my room i decided to pinch my noise and tried to breathe. I could breathe through one of my nostrils, but i could not breathe through the other one. Then i decided to do one more reality check to make sure i was lucid, i pushed my finger through one of my hands and it went through. So i knew for real i was lucid. To make the dream more vivid i rubbed my hands together for a couple of seconds, but for some reason the dream did not get anymore vivid. I then jumped out of the window in my bedroom out onto the ground outside, i jumped again above these trees outside of my house and i was teleported to another area. The area i was teleported to had brownish hills and evil/dead looking trees, the sun was setting in the sky. I started to jump around this strange place until i saw this house by the sea. I did not think of the house and decided to try flying. I jumped up really high in the air and i put my hands forward like superman and flew above the clouds. I then decided to fly up into outer space, so i flew up. But as soon as i got above the atmosphere the dream started to fade and then i woke up.

    7. Battling Nero with my Vampire Powers.

      by , 06-09-2010 at 04:20 PM (LUCIDMAX's max lucids!)
      Time to test the newfound Power!



      Rating : ★★★★★

      WARNING : a VERY epic dream!

      I was trying to WBTB. After waking up from a sleep for two hours and spending the last half hour on MILDing, I laid down at my bed. About after fifteen long minutes of staying still, I felt myself entering SP. At first, I only heard whispers, and something like wind blowing. Soon, I felt those waves of vibration going through my body. My hands and feet felt numb. I soon lost control over my limbs. Now I can see flecks of light darting here and there. They grow, join and multiply, forming geometric shapes and symbols. These shapes joined together to form objects. I could see a clock, a pillow, a pen and a hammer.
      Now a whole scene forms around me. I am inside an old building, or perhaps a storehouse. Everything here is broken and dusty. The place is three floors high, and quite large. I concentrate more and more, and I can see everything in perfect detail now. Just to be sure, I rub my hands, and start to feel here and there. Now the experience becomes life-like.
      I thought I might as well try to use some weapons. Bleach style. I concentrate on a sword, and it starts to form in my hands. It starts as a hilt of black color, then a silver guard materializes. After that, the blade forms. The blade is pure black, darker than anything you can imagine. Along it's middle runs a thin silver line. It extends, until it forms a curved, extremely thin black katana.
      I decide to try this baby out. Nearby is a pillar made of marble. I swing my sword, and it passes right through it. The pillar remains intact for a second, and then a smooth cut appears, and it topples over. Amazing, like a warm knife through butter.
      I decided to fight using this. I go out, expecting a large army to be outside the door. Indeed, I see a large number of monsters, perhaps a thousand or two, gathered in front of me. I grin. Battle time.
      Like a mad warrior, I run up to the whole army. They scatter before my blade, totally powerless. Their pathetic iron armor is no match for my sword, and I slice through them easily. I stab, jab, cut, and dice them. It was epic.
      There were still a lot of them. Good. I use magic again, and use it to merge fire with my blade. Suddenly, flames erupt from it. It looks as if my katana is on fire. I swing my sword, and everything within it's reach gets devoured by the unstoppable fire. I jab my sword into the ground, and flames spread from that point in a circle, instantly burning up anything within 20 meters radius.
      I start to lose lucidity. Not good. Again, I focus on the environment, and do a reality check to make sure my lucidity remains high.
      While I was stabilizing the dream, the monsters had rushed at me, and were a foot away from me. In a panic, I touched the tattoo on my arm. Everything pauses, as if time was frozen. Then my tattoo starts to spread throughout my entire body. A burst of ki energy follows my transformation, which is enough alone to knock down an elephant or two. I start to morph. I see my transformation in 3rd person view. My eyes become cat-like slits, and turn red. My nails turn into claws. I grow two inch long fangs.
      Now my view is back to first person. I feel an amazing rush of energy, a feeling no drug can provide. With a speed that even my own eyes can not register, I cut through each and every one of my enemies. They all stand for a moment in shock, and then split neatly in two.
      Too easy. I want more of a challenge. My hunger for blood can not be satisfied by these mere peons. I go inside a castle, expecting the ultimate boss to be there. I open the door, and find him already waiting for me. The guy is ---------



      Nero from Devil may Cry!
      I was surprised for a bit, because I don't really play DMC that much. But what the heck, as long as he puts up a good fight.
      I rush towards him wielding my sword. He catches it with his bare hand. WHAT THE HELL?!
      "Hmph......Amateur."
      He brings out his own sword, a bright blue, beautifully curved one. He slashed at my head, but I dodge it in time. Concentrate! He disappears. I bring my sword to my back, successfully parrying his strike. I was so used to this move with the training from Leona. He throws his sword high into the air. I was surprised. He grins, and takes out double pistols, one in each hands, and opens fire.
      What's with this guy?! His aim is absolutely precise. I deflect most of the bullets with my sword, and avoid the others. I see an opening. If I can just keep avoiding and deflecting his bullets, maybe I can come close enough to attack him directly.
      I decide to test this theory. Swiftly moving and using a series of flash steps, I come up close to him. He fires five or so more bullets, all of which I neatly block with my sword. Finally, I am right in front of him. I expect him to be surprised, but instead I see a smile on his face.
      "Like I said......Amateur!"
      Oh Shit! I had forgotten about his sword. He drops his gun, and his sword, which had been air-borne all this time, falls right into his hands. He blocks my to-be-fatal slash with it. I grin.
      "You're the amateur here."
      I put my palm to the unsharpened side of my blade, and give it a little push. A huge shock wave comes out of my katana, severing his sword in half. The whole castle collapses. He is surprised. The top half of his sword falls down, and he can not see anyone there. I had flash stepped behind him.
      I say, "Like you said, amateur!"
      I pierce his back, and then slice it, so that his whole body is cut in half. He turns to dust and melts away.
      Man, that was an exhausting fight. My vision starts to fade. But I am too tired to do anything, and it looked like my LD time was over. I tried to spin, but it didn't work, and the dream faded.

    8. My dream guide is a VAMPIRE!!

      by , 06-09-2010 at 04:19 PM (LUCIDMAX's max lucids!)
      Leona = Vampire............. = ME?!!



      Rating : ★★★★★

      Note : This is a more detailed version of my previous post in the Lucid Experiences section.

      Fragment : I am riding the bus home. The whole bus is empty. There is a raging storm outside. I take out a cigarette, and take a puff from it.

      Fragment : I am on an endless bridge. Walking. The bridge never ends. No purpose, no goal. Just walking ahead.

      I was on an ocean liner, travelling to Hawaii for some reason. The view was beautiful. There was the sea all around me. I suddenly feel the urge to go to the bathroom. I find the ships toilet, and go inside. It was quite spacious, and exotically decorated to a light pink tint. I found it luxurious. I found the door to a stall, and
      AHHHHHHHH!!!!!
      Inside was a man, no a zombie. He had one arm missing, and blood was gushing out of his mouth.



      I ran back, and now was on a tropical island, with a lush forest, standing in the middle of the sea. Shit! Trapped! Sea on all sides! Anyways, I run away, but the zombie is still chasing me with that horrible limp of his. I went into the thick forest, hoping to find some cover. Bad idea. Now I can not find my way out. Plus it is so dark here that I can not see a thing. I can only listen to sounds. There are some incomprehensible sounds, but nothing else. I wait suspiciously, but nothing happens. So I walk in a random direction, hoping to get out of here. As soon as I took a step, the zombie jumped at me. I ran back, and somehow could see everything better than before.
      Now, there is a whole bunch of monsters, including ogres, chimeras, and every other disgusting monster you can imagine.
      The absurdness of the situation dawns upon me, and I become lucid. All the monsters suddenly charge at me. Too easy. I use super speed, that their eyes cannot follow. I disappear, and reappear behind them. There is a pause, and they slump to the ground, unconscious. Being used to Leona's speed and strength, these guys are small fry for me.
      There is still a large number left. Attack in numbers, huh? I take a pill out of my pocket, and flash step right into their middle. I quickly plant the pill in the ground, and flash step again to a good distance away. I snap my fingers, and the pill suddenly blows up, with a blast that could have turned a mansion into a pile of rubble.
      No go. I have killed a lot of them, but they don't stop coming. I need more destructive power. I use magic again, and those rings appear on my wrists. They are black rings, outlined with silver and having symbols inside, each standing for a different magic power. But these small rings are small scale only. So I put my left hand closer to the rind on my left wrist, imagine it sticking into it, and pull it away, making the rings larger. Now they start to turn and revolve around me. The symbols inside them start to rotate. There are ALWAYS the same six symbols ; fire, water, earth, air, light and darkness. Trust me, I have drawn them in my DJ upon waking up, and Googled it. They were that because I am greatly fond of those symbols, so they were bound to appear there.
      My vision starts to fade. Oh shit! Got too excited! I calm myself down, touch here and there, and concentrate on the environment to stabilize the whole dream. I am successful.
      I touch the light symbol, and immediately, my whole body starts to glow. Then a bright golden hemisphere starts to expand from me, engulfing everything. The monsters are twitching in pain. The light covers the whole island. It blinds them and tears them apart.



      Then I touch the darkness symbol. A wave of pure darkness follows the light. It eats up anything and everything it touches. Or rather, wipes it away, leaving not a single trace.
      Then the hemisphere of light starts to shrink. It vanishes soon. Now I can see blood and dead bodies every where. But they are still coming in large numbers. What THE hell?
      I have no time to react. They grab my legs and arms, preventing movement. One of them, a guy with a shark's head, bites my foot. Ahhhh!! Another one drives his horn deep into my stomach. Blood is pouring freely out of my wounds, and I cough out some of it.
      I was so embarrassed, caught up in the same situation again. And again, there was that flash of white light, and I found myself beside Leona once again. But this time, she did not defeat my enemies, merely rescued me.
      "You still have a lot to learn. And here I thought you were doing pretty well. Can't you tell they are all illusions?"
      "What are you talking about?"
      "Come on, a number of monster that survive double magic attacks, and at that level? Surely even you had noticed."
      "Oh yeah!"
      "You didn't notice, did you? Hmph. See that small guy over there, the one in black robes? He's the main one."
      "I see."
      Summon a sniper rifle, one that seems made by aliens. I aim quickly, and fire. A blue ball of energy flows out at a great speed and hits the guy squarely on the head, blowing his head off. At once, all of the monsters disappear, by turning into dust and being blown away.
      "Phew. Thanks Leona!"
      She moves closer too me, with this seductive look in her eyes. We are alone here in the building.
      Weren't we on an island in the middle of the sea? Oh well. She moves closer to me. I feel myself completely numb, unable to move. I was mesmerized. She puts her hand on my cheek, bringing me closer. I close my eyes. I could feel her warm breath. And then, I feel a sharp pain in my neck!
      I open my eyes, and see that she bit me. I could see my own blood pouring out of the wound in my neck. There was this amazing pain there. I pulled away.



      "What the HELL do you think you are doing?!"
      "I am sick of watching you getting beat up and coming to save you all the time. That's why I have decided to give you some of my powers."
      "Some of.......your powers?"
      "Yeah. I just made you a vampire."
      "Vam.......wait, WHAT?!"
      "Yeah, what's there to be shocked? In fact, don't you feel something in your body?"
      As soon as she says it, I became aware of a burning sensation in my neck, where there were two holes, that looked like they were made by fangs. Then I felt a VERY hot liquid moving down my neck, into my veins, then into my arms, and finally my whole body. I writhe and twist horribly in pain. The pain was very realistic, and agonizing. After what seemed like ages, the pain finally stopped. I looked at my hands and feet, and they were perfectly normal (or as normal as they could be in a dream). And now, I feel a rush of excitement. My body feels very light, and my movements become much more faster, more powerful and smoother. It was an amazing feeling, better than steroids.
      "Well, now you're a vampire."
      I am still too shocked to grasp anything.
      "But.....wait a minute, I thought only vampires could turn others into vampires. And what's with the neck biting and drinking blood and whatever?"
      "Ah, about that. I guess I haven't really showed you my true form yet, have I?"
      "True.......WHAT?!"
      Then she stands up, and I notice for the first time, a vivid tattoo on her arm. She suddenly puts her finger to it, and it stars to expand, until it consumes her own body. After a few moments, she turns into a flying monster, one with fangs and wings and those narrow, slit-like eyes. I was either too shocked or excited by this, and I was slowly losing control. Maybe she sensed it, and she shouts, "To turn into a vampire, just touch the tattoo on you arm!" And then, the dream fades.

    9. Task of the month for May 2010.

      by , 06-09-2010 at 04:17 PM (LUCIDMAX's max lucids!)
      Task of the month for May.

      Rating : ★★★☆☆

      Basic Task: Give someone a flower.
      Advanced Task: Skydive from a skyscraper.

      I am having a non-lucid dream. I dreamed that I was a runaway from a prison, with a dead-or-alive demand for me. Cops are running behind me. I don't have any weapons. I run up near a military vehicle, which suddenly switches itself on. It is a tank. The barrel of the tank aims at me. The cops catch up. They grab my arms and force me to stand there, waiting for the fatal bomb. It fires. In slow motion, I see it coming. It is more like a rocket launcher rocket. It hits my middle. A deafening explosion, an extreme pain, and everything is gone.


      I wake up. I think, "Thank goodness, it was just a dream. How the heck didn't I become lucid?" I look around. I am in my room. Out of habit, I pinch my nose. I can still breathe! No, wait a minute! I look at my hands. There is no palm, just my wrist and a dozen fingers floating in air. So it is a dream. I get up, and concentrate on the environment. My vision sharpens. I can not see anything, because it's all dark. Usually, I sleep with so much darkness that I can sometimes not tell the difference when I open my eyes and close them. That make me more comfortable, though. I start out of the room, open the door, and find myself on the roof of a building.

      I was at the top of the World Trade Center. Remembering the task of the month, I summoned some parachutes for me and some of my friends, who somehow happened to be there. We all run far back, and I see that my shoes have now become roller blades. All for the better, I thought. We speed towards the end, but there was a fence type barrier, almost two meters high, that protected people from falling. At the last moment, I do a back flip, flawlessly avoiding it.
      I am in mid-air, and rushing toward the ground. The wind was holding me up, slowing my fall. It was amazing, with the wind against my face and through my clothes. I decide to try some acrobatic tricks, but I find that it is quite hard to move about. All I manage is to roll about a bit.
      Somehow, the ground was still far away. Then one of my friends comes over to help me with tricks in mid-air. She looks like a pro, doing back flips and all kinda weird stuff that I would only manage in a lucid and on the ground. She teaches me the basics of using the air resistance and adjusting angles and such, and pretty soon I am able to do some quite impressive moves. I thank her for that, and suddenly the basic task clicks on in my mind. I look for a flower in my pocket, but all I find is a doll of a clown. I look desperately for a flower elsewhere, and spot one little decoration rose in the breast pocket of my tuxedo. I take it out, and it's still fresh. I give her the flower, telling her that it was a token of appreciation. She looks delighted by it, and thanks me. Now that I have no more tasks, I look around. I am still falling, but somehow we are at the Mount Everest. In fact, I am right on top of it. I am about to hit the ground, but I turn gravity off quickly, slowing my fall to a graceful landing.


      I love being at the top of the mountain. It is so cold out here, but I am enjoying it. It feels like the top of the world. I summon a snowboard made out of pure, white ice. What a beautiful scene! Though I have never snowboarded IRL, I jump on the snowboard and start sliding. Soon, I gather a lot of speed. I am skating down the mountain, with all the white snow and the frosted trees and even a frozen lake surrounding me. The beauty of it takes my breath away. I skate for a long time, perhaps 30 or so minutes worth of lucid dreaming, enjoying the scenery. The dream becomes unstable soon after that, and I wake up.

    10. Killer Hell Training from Leona!

      by , 06-09-2010 at 04:16 PM (LUCIDMAX's max lucids!)
      Training Time!

      Rating : ★★★★★

      This was the roughest and most brutal training in my life. But, it's my DG we are talking about, after all.

      I went to sleep at about 9 pm. I remember waking up from a series of dreams after the shorter REM periods, but I couldn't recall any of them, just a few fragments. At about 7 or so in the morning, I had this dream. I dreamed that I was in one of those bullet trains. I was travelling to my grandma's, in California, for some reason. She doesn't actually live there. I started to walk around the cabins for a bit of a stretch. No one minded me doing so. As I walked, I looked here and there and saw that each and everything was perfectly normal. One one of the seats, I saw my ex sitting there, busy talking to other people. Notice the dream sign. Not wanting to initiate a conversation, I hurry forward. I take just one more look, and see that her hair is bright blue, unlike the dark black IRL. I start to think about that. Various explanations offer themselves one after another, but none satisfies me.
      I think hard about what it's like in real life, and the whole absurdness of the dream dawns on me.
      I become lucid. The train is moving quite fast. Looking out of the windows, I can see grassy fields. Quite a relaxing sight. Fearing that the dream would destabilize in a fast bullet train, I rub my hands, spin in a circle, and shout "Lucidity". The last one does not work. But the vision is good, so I continue my way through. One of my goals then was to produce tonnes of money. So I looked inside my back pocket, and find a wallet. Opening it, I see quite many $100 bills. I take out the whole bundle, which is now about double of what it looked like inside the wallet.
      I notice that some of the people around me were looking at me suspiciously, perhaps even envious. I continue towards a restaurant, which somehow fits within the small train. Suddenly, I feel a sharp pain pierce my side, and after that, another piercing sensation in my back. Everyone in the train starts to scream, and exits hastily through two doors that would have been large enough for a castle front gate. Again, the pain was almost too much to bear. Never having been so deeply stabbed IRL whatsoever, I find the experience quite unpleasant. I grope around my back, and find a large knife buried deep inside it.
      It felt that the knife had pierced my lungs, because I was having a hard time breathing. I look around for the attacker, and see a short, thin and bald man standing near me. He had a long scar running through the right part of his forehead, continuing through his temple, eyelids and cheek. He was looking at me with an evil grin, one that plainly says, "I'm gonna kill ya."
      He grabs all of my money, and runs out of the train. I am too injured to even move, and fall to the ground. My blood is draining quickly. I am starting to black out. My vision blurs. It's all too painful, so much that death seems pleasant. I catch a glimpse of a fast movement, a moving sensation, and a flash of blue, before losing consciousness.
      I regain consciousness. I appear to be in a black void. I remember now, someone stabbed me in a lucid. I realize that I am lying on my bed, concluding that I have woken up and still have my eyes closed. I open my eyes, and see bright sunlight. What the hell, since when was I sleeping outdoors? I realize that I am sleeping in a camping bed, with Leona beside me. A sudden, yet mysterious joy fills me. I am happy to see her again.
      I ask, " Hey, Leona. Where am I? How did I get here?"
      She says, "Well, you remember that you were stabbed pretty bad, right? That man ran off as soon as he got the money. I found you though, slumped on the ground like some dead rat."
      "I see, so you brought me here?"
      "No, it was my long-lost twin. Of course I did! Are men really that stupid?"
      "Well, not really......."
      "Never mind. Now, how do you feel? You can have weakness after injuries in a dream too, you know."
      "Now that you mention it, I don't feel a thing! Thanks!"
      "Don't mention it. Well, you seem pretty amateur at controlling your dream body. I think you need some training."
      "That would be great! I will start right now!"
      Little did I know that I was in for a surprise.
      I get out of the bed, and Leona leads me to an open area. It was quite relaxing, with the scenery and the cool air. Leona was to be my opponent in training. She told me that we should first practice hand to hand combat. She stands at a spot, with a mischievous little smile that says, "Come at me with all you got."
      Not wanting to waste my LD time, I stabilize the dream, and rush at her with all my might. I know she won't be an easy opponent, but what the heck. I try to deliver a punch at her face, but she dodges it with a simple tilting of her head, something like an amused expression. I knew that would happen, so I try to surprise her with a second one right after the first, hoping to connect with her stomach. She is just standing, and I am thinking, "Wow, I actually got her this time!", but all I feel is air.
      A voice comes from behind me. "I know you through and through, your martial art is good, but it won't work against me." Instinctively, I round-house kick, but again, she easily dodges it.
      "Come on! Don't tell me thats all you got!"
      I tense my lower muscles, and deliver rapid kicks at her head. They were fast. Much more than real life. But again she dodges them like she is being attacked in slow motion.
      Again, she disappears from my view, and again, appears behind me.
      "Heh, you are slow, I got time to yawn."
      I try to counter attack, but she grabs my wrist, and delivers a swift kick to my back, that knocks the wind out of me.
      "Thats just the beginning, I didn't really hit you."
      I get up, recover my balance, and charge at her again. I feint a punch at her, which she tries to avoid. I stop about half-way, which leaves her standing in an awkward position to avoid my punch. Seeing my opportunity, I try a back flip kick, aiming for the chin. I feel my foot hit something, and get real excited. Finally! Managed to hit her.
      "Very good, but the thing you are hitting is a tree branch."
      I look around, and see her right beside me. She has this glint in her eyes, and her pupils have become cat-like, narrow and long. Now I think about it, it could have been something related to vampires. Not giving me a chance to counter, she grabs my face, and throws me towards the opposite side. I am going so fast, what incredible power! I can't even righten myself, I feel helpless, with the sheer force of the throw. I crash into trees, breaking branches, tearing vines and messing up leaves. I pass through all of them, they can't stop me. I pass right through a bunch of trees, and finally collide into a stone rock. I hit it, bounce back a foot or two the way I had come. Such was the force I struck the rock with. I am sure that you all know how painful that is, so I won't go much into the feelings section. But every feeling was absolutely real. And painful. >_<
      The collision made a crack in the rock. It felt as if a rib or two had broken. But still, I could fight. I look in my pocket for a pill, and a hand grabs my fist. Leona is there. Whoa! She traveled all that distance in a flash? She says, "No pills or cheap tricks, only your body."
      I quickly step back a distance, fearing an attack again. I need to calm down. This is just a dream. No, it's MY dream. I can do anything here. Nothing is superior than me here. I focus my thoughts. I have to have greater speed. I need to be quicker.
      As I focus my thoughts, a silver and black aura starts to emanate from me. I focus on my surroundings, to clear my vision. The aura is flowing out of me, like dark fire. I suddenly feel my body is a lot lighter, and my senses much sharper. It was a pleasant feeling, but I couldn't afford to get excited. The aura around me is thickening. Leona smiles.
      "Now that's what I am talking about! Let me show you.....what is meant by 'power' !!"
      She disappears. No, not this time, I think. With raw instinct as my guide, I catch her punch in mid-air, which would have hit my head. The force delivered to my hand is so strong that the ground beneath my feet gets depressed, and I sink an inch or two. Seeing an opening here, I use my other hand to punch her side.
      With her still in my hand, she grabs my arm, so that one hand is trapped in mine, and the other is near my elbow. With me acting as a support, she jumps up, and lands behind me, making a full 180 degree turn in air. You know, the one you see in Jackie Chan movies. This happened in 2 seconds. Takes longer to explain it, tho.
      I am taken by surprise with this move, but can still follow whats going on. The dream starts to destabilize. No! I have to land at least one hit! Leona tries to axe kick my head, but I block it with my arms. I am still fighting with her behind me, don't remember why, perhaps because it was more of a challenge. She tries to punch my head, but I tilt it again, causing the punch to fly past my ear. I grab her hand, turn around, and with surprising speed, direct a punch at her face. Her eyes are wide open, and she is defenseless. I stop my punch half an inch from her face, and as it stops, the wind of the punch moves her hair. She is totally surprised.
      "Come on, you don't think I would really hit you, do you?"
      "Heh, guess not. Well, good work for today. You definitely got me there, and I would have been in trouble if you had hit me. But this is only one hit, you still have far to go."
      "Aw, man. Can't you be a little optimistic?"
      She smiles, and soon the dream fades.

    11. Tasks of the Year Completed.

      by , 06-09-2010 at 04:00 PM (LUCIDMAX's max lucids!)
      Here are, in random order, the Tasks of the Year I have completed so far.

      The Apocalypse!

      Rating : ★★★☆☆

      I was in a bar, drinking some beer. My friend had given me an mp3 player as a gift yesterday, and in the dream I thought to check it out again. I took out the player, and was examining it. Then suddenly my eyes fell upon my fingers, there were only three! Two of them were simply not there, only empty holes for them. I became lucid. Apparently, I remembered the Apocalypse documentary I had watched right before sleeping, and I thought, what would it be like to actually be during the Apocalypse? And then I hear a resounding explosion. I look out of the window of my house (don't know how I got there) and see all the houses and shops shaking violently and crumbling. Then there spreads this huge fire, coming towards my direction. I try to run away (again I don't know how i got to the ground, my house is six floors up!) but a voice tells me that it is useless to run. I am semi-lucid and somewhat know that it is a dream, and I can feel everything I am touching, but I just can't stop the apocalypse. Suddenly, a huge hole opens directly below my feet, and I fall into it, falling for a LONG time, and never hit the ground, and woke up sometime later.

      The Grail Mess-Up

      Rating : ★★★★☆



      I had an FA after waking up from a dream.I looked around my house and saw my room, exactly as it is. Before I went to bed, I told to myself, if I am in an FA, I will remember to do the TotY. Thats why I realized I have to do this task. I exit my house through the window, and start to fly, by shape shifting and growing a pair of wings. I fly low, for the fear of losing lucidity, and do some clarification techniques along the way. Now that my vision is perfectly clear, I concentrate on boosting my speed. I somehow fly to Rome, and see a normal church, nothing special. I am not a Christian, but I think, What the heck, it's just a dream! So I go in through the door, and start looking for DCs who can tell me where the Holy Grail is supposed to be. I encounter some weird DCs, , but then I finally find an old man all dressed up like he was the leader there. So I go to him, and ask him, "Excuse me, but could you tell me where the Holy Grail is?" He says, "The quest for the Holy Grail is an index of the most complicated plots co-occurring within a series of brilliant minds combined to form a particulate of moisture." This is an exact quote. I reply, 'That doesn't even make sense!" He replies, "A bear must be bound before it can swim, so be it." "But that doesn't make sense either! Can't you at least point to where it is?" He point to a perfectly normal wall, and says, "What appears is not what it is." Finally, something sensible. I say thanks and run up to the wall, and start tapping it. It sounds like it is not solid, but there something behind it, like a passage. So I look in my pocket, and find a grenade (what??) and place it near the wall and wait for it to blow up the wall. Somehow I didn't run away, and the blast didn't even hurt me. I see a dark passageway, lit only by flaming torches. I follow the passage way to a door and upon opening it, I see and even older room, which is lit only by a single torch. I cross over to the other side, and see something like a safe in the wall. There was a notice on the wall beside it, reading "The key is hidden in this sentence, "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others." Enough with stupid quotes! I look in my pocket again, and take out a laser pen, the type you see in movies that can cut a safe by a laser beam. After a long and tiring search for batteries in the old room, I finally locate them in a small but visible hole in the ground. At last, I turn on the damn thing, and bust my way through the safe. Now I see a glass cup, something like a glass trophy, with the words HOLY GRAEL engraved on the bottom, and enclosed in a thin glass case. I carefully smash the glass case, and somehow, there is a bottle of fresh and cold water beside it now. I hurriedly pour the water in the grail, and drink from it. What a refreshing.....poof! fall onto the ground, unconscious. Thats the last thing I remember of the dream. Well, completed the TotY, but didn't get to enjoy the drink after all the hard work I put in.

      Reliving the Dinosaur Age.

      Rating : ★★★★☆



      Completed another task of the year last night. I woke up in the middle of the night, and had barely moved. So I tried to FILD, moving my fingers very slowly. This helped me remain in a conscious state. Soon, I started to feel vibrations or waves going throughout my body. I had experienced SP before, and was not too bothered by this feelings. I could see some Chinese or perhaps Japanese characters moving about me. I recognized only one of them, the symbol of fire. It was in Chinese. I couldn't figure out the rest of them. They started to revolve around me, going faster and faster until they were a blur. My body was falling into it, and I started to shudder violently. After a minute or so, it stopped. I could see nothing. I was in a black void. I thought of where I want to go, and remembered the ToTY thanks to the MILD I had done before sleeping. I closed my eyes, and imagined a pre-historic forest, with dinosaurs and wild tress and reptilian birds.
      I slowly opened my dream eyes, and found myself on a grassy mountain. It was cool here. I could see the sun in the distance, but it looked different somehow. Perhaps smaller and a little brighter.
      A large bird comes at me from nowhere, screeching and clawing at me. What a nuisance. I concentrate on forming an invisible force field around me. I was successful, the bird crashes into it and falls, before going away in anger. I look around and concentrate on the environment, to clarify the dream. The longer I look, the more there is to look. There are many wild trees around, and I can see a beautiful blue lake in the distance. The air smells of nature, and the environment is filled with exotic sounds, some of which I cannot identify. The mountain I am standing on is quite high, and I notice a cave behind me. I use the inside-the-cave method, the ancestor of behind-the-door, to bring out Leona. I call out for her, and she comes out. She is wearing a trekking suit, one fit for a hike. I ask her, "Well, how am I supposed to complete the TotY now? I am in dinosaur age, but there is no meteorite."
      "Well, why don't you cause the meteorite to hit?"
      "Eh, I can do that?"
      "*sigh* What an idiot."
      She picks up a pebble, and throws it high into the air. She raises her hands, and around her hands appear a weird lettering, inside a ring. Kinda cool. She says "Enlarge!" and time freezes. Now she points her palms at the pebble, and move her palms away from each other, increasing the space between them. The pebble enlarges considerably, and she drops her hands, which breaks the spell, unfreezing time. The pebble falls to the ground below me, except now it is as big as a large truck.
      "Cool! How'd ya do that?"
      "Just do what I did. Remember to use your aura for the spell, or you won't be able to do it."

      PS I don't believe in "Ki" or "Chakra" or "Inner Energy" or whatever it is, so I always use the word aura for it, which more or less satisfies me.
      I take another pebble, but I can't just toss it in the air. I need it to go into space and THEN hit the earth. So I summoned up this gun I was watching on a documentary, that can send bullets into space because the velocity of the bullet is more than the escape velocity needed to escape the pull of the earth. It looks like an alien gun, with a dark black body and electric blue patterns on it. I insert the pebble, that has somehow become bullet shaped. I load, and fire it toward the sky. The pebble get smaller and smaller, until it is a point on the bright blue sky.
      Focus, I thought. Whenever I use spells, I gather my energy into my hands, and then work it from there. Therefore I concentrate it into my wrists and palms, and my familiar bluish silver and black aura starts to some out of my hands like a small fire. Instantly, there appears the same ring around my wrists, with some wierd symbols revolving around it. The ring is black inside with silver lettering and outlines. Suddenly, time stops. The wind stops blowing, the trees stop waving, the birds freeze in mid-air. It seems as if it is all one big painting.
      Now the pebble is stopped somewhere in space, I can modify it's size. A rectangle appears around the pebble, with pointers/handles at the sides, like the one you get in picture editing softwares. Just drag those little things around and the image will enlarge. There is a similar concept here. I use my hands and point at the pebble, and spread them apart, so that the pebble is enlarged. I continue until it will expand no longer. Now it looks like a real meteorite. I drop my hands, and time unfreezes. The meteorite starts to fall towards the ground. In a matter of seconds, it is very close to earth. But something is not right. Oh yeah! It is not on fire! What good is a meteorite without fire? I get a sudden idea from reading a manga. I draw the Kanji symbol for fire in the air, (yeah, you guessed it, I am a fan of those symbols ) and my fingers leave a hot red trail, so that the symbol is brightly shining in air. I kinda "throw" the symbol at the meteorite, or basically, cause the symbol to race towards the meteorite, and collide with it. The second it does, the whole meteorite erupts in flames. The flames are of abnormal size, and I can feel the heat from them, even kilometers away.
      Leona makes an ice shield around us, (huh?!) to protect us from the heat. The meteorite is raging towards the earth. There is a deadly silence. Every living creature seems to have stunned, looking speechless at the large ball of flame. It is very close now, probably just a matter of seconds. Leona shouts, "Let's get out or we will burn too!"
      "No, you go! I'll stay! I have to watch it hit!"
      "Idiot. Well, I'll just go by myself, I am not fond of dying from a fake meteorite created by you."
      She crouches, and touches the ground with her palm. A circle appears there, a dark black one. It starts from her wrist, and expands around her. "See ya! Or not..." she says, and jumps into the circle, teleporting to who-knows-where.
      The meteorite is about to hit now. The heat burns up the trees and the bushes around me. The ice shield is still intact, but only just. With a resounding explosion, the meteorite hits. The blast was deafening. I felt the shockwave of it travel miles away to where I stood. Then came the heat of it. The ice shield couldn't hold on much longer. The meteorite throws up a mountain of dust, rock and ash, that form a mushroom cloud. The shield breaks. Now I feel the full heat of my own flames. So real. I can feel my body charring. It was agonizing. I couldn't do anything. And after some time, that felt like hours, I lose consciousness, and wake up.

      Gladiator Battle?

      Rating : ★★★★☆



      I was now inside a roman stadium. I was never good at history, so I probably didn't know what was going on. There was an audience in high benches all around. There were gold fences around me, but the arena itself had a floor of dirt, mud and clay. In the distance I could see split air-conditioners all around. Good. I don't like being in hot weather anyways. I was wondering what to do, when I noticed that the walls of the arena had cages inside them, and there were large tigers caged inside. They were wearing black and gold armor, and quite heavy ones at that.
      Suddenly, a stage comes up with a commentator on it. He grabs the microphone, and shouts, "Battle of the warrior! Start the fight!"
      Cool. Just what I wanted. Even my dreams know my preferences.
      The bars of the cage disappeared into thin air. A lump of raw meat landed near to me. It was a bait. Smelling the meat, the tigers in heavy armor rushed at it. One of them took the meat and swallowed it whole. Now they were looking for food elsewhere, and spotted me.
      My dream was destabilizing. I can tell when it's so because it starts to slowly fade/blur around the edges and then disappears whole. So I rubbed my hands. The faster I rubbed, the more the dream became clear. At last when it was clear enough, I did the nose-pinch RC again. I could still breathe.
      The tigers were now circling me. I summoned my katana from thin air, expecting it to be in my hand when I look at it again. It slowly materializes. But now there is something wrong. It feel heavier than before. There are black flames already around it. What?! I didn't do anything yet. Also, it was harder to control than before. It started to vibrate a little. But when I touched the sword, I really felt a kind of sadness and a thirst for killing. When I put it away, it was gone, but as soon as I held it again, there was that feeling again. And all the time there were black flames wrapped around it. Strange. True I had it only once before, but why is it so weird?
      All this time I was pondering about my sword, the tigers were standing still, as if time was frozen. Now everything snapped back to reality. Dream reality, more like. I decided to fight using my sword, and just ignore the unusual behavior.
      One of them jumps at me. What was that guy thinking? I love special effects during my dreams, because they are the only times I get to do stuff I can not do in real life, and I try to take as much fun from them as possible, not start meditating and go around asking my DC's or even Leona about life. Get to the point, fighting. I am a pretty peaceful guy IRL, y'know.
      The tiger is now an inch away from me. I slash him, but the only thing my eyes can see is my hand blurring for a millisecond, and then back to the normal position. So this is what it felt like to have supernatural powers at will. A deep slash appears on the tigers middle, and he drops, making weird noises in pain. I take pity on him, because even if he's a DC, I don't like killing animals. I look away from him, and back again. Now he is completely cured, and small as a kitty. He meows a thanks. I said out loud to him, "Now go away before I unleash my passion of kicking kittens."
      Though I was kidding, he fled. I realized I couldn't fight the others. I just don't like animals in pain. So when I look back at the whole bunch, I expect there to be a large number of skilled ninjas. My best technique is the expectation technique, because it always works for me. Indeed, there are about twenty or so ninjas now. One of them comes at me, wielding a white katana. I disappear, and appear behind him again. My favorite move. He hangs in mid-air for a second, and then his body splits cleanly in two. If I made them all like real men, there would have been a lot of mess, so I just make dust shadows. Fun to kill, and they don't make a mess.

      Neil Armstrong Pwned....

      Rating : ★★★★☆

      Date : 25th May, 2010



      I was in a space craft cabin. Everything was very clean and tidy, as well as neatly arranged. I was wearing a space suit. Somehow, I felt like I was familiar with all the weird vuttons and knobs in front of me. There was a middle-aged lady sitting beside me at the controls. I knew it was Neil Armstrong.
      I hear a voice saying, "Ten seconds to experimental quick spatial jump. Please remain fixed to your toilet seats." (again, an exact quote.)
      I find this comment quite normal. A large number appears in mid-air, displaying 15 seconds remaining. I justify it as a 3D projection, a hologram. The countdown starts. 15......16........100........31.......3#......6%.. ....O_O
      PS this is an exact reference. Including the "O_O" thing.
      I become lucid. I start to look around, trying to increase the detail. I could see a large screen, showing odd symbols and shapes in green in front of me. On my left was a coffee table, fully laid out. On my right was Neil Armstrong. He was back to a man now.
      I realize that we are at the moon already. Neil realizes this as I do as well. We both look into each other's eyes for a moment, and suddenly dash for the exit. The exit is made for only one person, and we both cram it up, getting stuck. I force myself out. Now I can see a ladder descending into the moon, but it looked more like a ladder you see in game shows, made of plastic and quite large, with obstacles in between to keep me from getting down.
      Neil was here as well. We both started going down the ladder. It's like a race, but it was fun. Now my view was like a game screen, and everything became cartoonish. The ladder was yolk yellow color. On the sides, for each participant of the race, there are small bombs, to throw at one another. I pick up a bright blue grenade, and throw it at him. He ducks, and shouts, "You missed!"
      But the grenade falls instead on his ammunition. He realizes what's going on, but is too late too stop it. The grenade detonates. There is an average blast, but now the grenade the closest to it also blows up. This causes a huge chain reaction, blowing all the way to the end at his side. He looks at me in surprise. I grin.
      I use flash step to get to the end. Zap! I am a LOT closer. Another ZAP! And I am at the end. Neil shouts, "Hey! No fair!"
      "Thats what you get for being a DC, dumbass!"
      I am now at the moon. Neil takes sometime to get to the bottom. I beat him! Completed another TotY! I was enjoying the landscape. The more I looked, the more there was to see. There was a whole colony of people, living under a huge dome. At the center of the glass dome, there was a huge tree, going a mile into the sky. It was all magnificent, in contrast to the black and silver landscape of the moon. In the dome, I could see shops, houses, factories. Generally, a whole city. There were people bustling here and there.
      I hear a lone wolf's howl. I was really enjoying myself here. I lose my lucidity to the landscape.

      I probably did something more, but I forgot because I lost lucidity. ^_^

      How to make fire ; A tutorial by me. ^_^

      Date : 30th May, 2010

      Rating : ★★★☆☆



      I was shopping outside with some of my friends. We were all going to a certain shop in the distance. The streets were quite busy with passersby. I noticed that one of my friends was wearing a black tee shirt. Seeing this, I did a reality check. I pinched my nose, and found that I could still breathe!
      I become lucid. I stabilized my dream by rubbing my hands. The vision was life-like, and my lucidity was also very high. I looked around for stuff to do, and remembered the Task of the Year. I might as well try to teach those primate humans how to make fire. I walked into a large mall, thinking how to go to that era, and viola! A whole forest was in front of me. There were tall, dense trees all around me. I walked ahead, and after a while, I came to a lake. It was so peaceful and beautiful here. There were all sort of weird plants near the lake.
      I spotted some monkey-like humans nearby. Good. I come near them. They seem to be scared of me. I yell out to them , "Hey! I am Max! Who are you guys?"
      They replied, but in a strange language that I could not even begin to comprehend. What the heck. I guessed they wouldn't know how to make fire. I decided to try it.
      I took a few twigs, and some flint stones that happened to be sitting nearby. I rubbed them together, and sparks flew out of it.
      But the twigs didn't like up. Shit. This is taking too long. I used magic, and just used my fire ability to light up the twigs.
      They were really surprised. The were scared to come close to the fire. But one of them bravely came up, and touched it. He yelled in pain. Seeing this, the other primates started playing with fire too. (shouldn't they be NOT coming near it, seeing one of them got burnt?)
      One of them picked up a burning twig, and started to wave it in the air. All of the others did the same.
      It was really amusing, watching them do this. Then a burning twig fell from the hands of one of the guys, and the grass caught fire. In an instant, the fire spread out to the whole forest, as if it was all kerosene or something.



      They all started to shout out excitedly, as if they has never seen a fire before. There were really happy smiles on their faces. They spread out, each in a different direction, and started to chase the still spreading fire. Then they started to make little fires of their own, shooting out fireballs and lighting up trees. I was standing by, watching them play with fire.


      Thats the last thing I remember, because I probably lost lucidity here, watching the whole scene.

      Beach party with Moses!!

      Rating : ★★★★☆

      Date : 3rd June, 2010



      I was on a beach party. The beach looked exactly like the image above, but there was also a cute little wooden beach house. I was along with five of my friends. All of us were in swim suits. I looked at mine. The were knee high drawstring trousers or something, colored blue, with a white image of a palm tree.
      There were really fierce waves. I mean REALLY fierce. The wind was strong enough to pull us out of course, and the waves rose more than five meters high. It was a cloudy day, but the sun's rays were just visible through the gaps in the clouds.
      I could hear a far off seagull's cry. We started to play beach volleyball, but the wind was too fierce and would cause the ball to go astray. Somehow, all of us found that extremely funny. We started to laugh, hard. We were laughing without stopping, without any particular reason except the ball's going off course. We laughed so much that it started to hurt my stomach, and tears came into my eyes. Finally, we hiccuped ourself to silence. Spontaneously, out of nowhere,
      I became lucid. Perhaps it was due to the fact that I live in a city in the middle of the desert, and that we rarely get such strong waves along the coast line. Whatever, now is not the time to wonder WHY I became lucid.
      There wasn't really much scenery there for me to stabilize, but I did it anyways. I used all of my senses, including activating the sense of taste by tasting some sea water. When the dream was stable enough, I spun in a circle and rubbed my hands. The clarity was already pretty good, so it didn't have that much effect. But the experience was life like, or perhaps even more vivid than real life.
      I walked around. I did not want to do something too exciting early in a dream, a golden rule of mine that works like a miracle. I used to instantly start smashing up stuff but it killed my lucid dreams, and not long after I learned my lesson and became more patient.
      I walked up to my friends. One of them, a guy, said, "Hey, see those waves, Max? They seem pretty big. Think we will get a sale on those?"
      Another one, a girl, replied, "Yeah right, everyone knows that summer sales are only on laptops. Besides, where are you gonna stash a surfing bear in that apartment of yours?"
      "Hey," he replied, "at least it's not as big as your belly, it doesn't need an acupuncture every half hour."
      I was laughing hard, again. But for the fear of losing my lucidity to their one-of-a-kind conversation, I intruded and said, upon suddenly remembering, "Guys, do you know where Moses is? The one who parted the sea?"
      Every one started to gape at me, like I was mad or something. Another girl said, "Like. duh! Don't you know that he is one vacation in Hawaii right now? Man, you gotta buy some fashion magazines, you know that?"
      "HUH?! Moses, the spiritual kinda guy, in a fashion magazine?! Are you kidding me?"
      They all start to look at me weirdly again.
      "Anyways, tell me which direction is Hawaii."
      They look at me in even more surprise.
      "Dude, this IS Hawaii."
      "Ah, I see. So then where is Moses?"
      "He is on the clearing around the forest. He was helpin' lil' kids to cross the ocean, you know. To make sure they don't fall into the clams at the bottom."
      "Okay, thanks for the info."
      I use the rope method to pull myself toward the end of the forest. I feel a tug around my waist, and I quickly transport to there. Then, I start to run, looking for Moses.
      WHOOOSH!!! A loud sound came up from ahead of me. The ground started to rumble. The wind suddenly became a heck of a lot faster. I actually had to use telekinesis on myself, imagining me glued to the ground, to avoid flying away with the wind.
      Then, the whole sea in front of me split apart.



      Wait, wasn't there a condition? Shit. WAIT A FUCKIN' SECOND!!!
      I snapped my fingers, and stopped time. I did that by imagining a movie being paused. Everything became perfectly skill, and a little blurred, or shadowed. I had suddenly remembered that Moses need to part the Reed sea, not jut any random beach.
      I tried a trick I had never done before. I concentrated any summoned a large banner that could be poked in the ground. But before writing anything, I did a reality check, stabilized more, and rubbed my hands again. I am taking no chances.
      I use my finger to write something up. But I see that I have written a jumble of random words that make no sense. No matter.
      I cause the letters to morph and re arrange themselves, something like Tom Riddle (Voldemort) does in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. The words now read, "Welcome to REED sea!"
      Not exactly what I wanted, but it was good enough. I planted in in the ground, and believed what it said.
      I unfroze time. Now, the sea was blood red. Maybe something related to the similarity between "Reed" and "red".



      Oh well, as long as it's a sea. The sea in now completely parted. Great! There goes another task of the year!
      But, Moses seemed to be having some trouble keeping it parted like that. Don't know why, buyt I went there to help him.
      I was standing on sand, which was supposed to the ocean bed. I built an invisible wall on both sides to keep the water from flowing in.
      "Whew!" , said someone near to me. It was Moses! He was in a white robe, with his hood down so I couldn't see his face. He was also wearing a golden armor on one hand.
      "Thanks for the help, kiddo. You could become a better Moses than me."
      "No problem. Tell me, do you only go around parting seas and stuff?"
      "No, but I am famous for it. Say, do you want a new dream guide?"
      "Huh?!"
      "Yeah, I came here to become your dream guide."
      "Sorry, but I already have one."
      "Oh, that vampire brat?"
      "Yeah."
      "But I am much greater than her. I can show you the mysteries of universe. I can lead you to the divine. I can make you spiritual. Your dreams will be the strong hold of good."
      "Wow! Thats amazing. Leona never did that. Can you really do that stuff?"
      "Of course I am. Who do you think I am?"
      "Right. But the me something. Can you fight?"
      "No, I am a good guy."
      "Can you kill monsters?"
      "No."
      "Can you turn into a vampire?"
      "No."
      "Are you a hot young lady?"
      "No, of course not! But that doesn't mean I am.........pleasurable." (PS sorry if anyone was offended by this, but as you know, it was just a dream, nothing else.)
      "Sorry, but I am totally into women. Tell me one last thing."
      "Yeah?"
      "Do you know how to pilot combat space ships?"
      "No, I don't."
      "Sorry then, but you are just not my type. I will stick with Leona for now though. Come once in a while to give me some of that divine experience of yours, will ya?"
      "Ah, that Leona. That mother fuc**ng bitc*h $/&^#!!!!!!"
      "Whoa there! You're Moses. You are not suppose to curse like that. Only teenagers can do that."
      "This is the 21st century, dude. So long, bi*ch!"
      He disappears into thin air. Oh well. I have to wake up now, before I forget the task of the year. I force my real eyes open, something I can do even since I was not lucid dreaming, and wake up.

      Finally got over my dry-spell.

      So wheels WERE used.

      Date : 10th of June, 2010


      I had this lucid dream after a bit of MILD and WBTB combined. I threw in a little FILD, too. Worked great.
      This dream occurred after I had slipped into sleep. My WILD failed, but I got lucid nevertheless.

      I was an archeologist. I was researching the Tomb of Tutankhamen. They said that whoever touched a certain stone on the grave died instantly. As this was a life threatening situation, we officials were sent by the FBI to research it for it's potential killing power, so that it could be used in weaponry. We arrived, with big, hunky men patrolling ahead of us as bodyguards. There were a few people with me. I remember seeing my friends dad, but the rest were all unfamiliar.
      We walked towards the pyramid. Though it was bare desert all around us, it was extremely cold. We were all wearing fur coats. Something about earth's reversing polarity.
      We went inside the pyramid. A group of paparazzi were following us, along with irritating media reporters. I think, "Damn paparazzi. Why are they spoiling my dream? Oh well." And I wave my hand. They disappear into nothingness. I did NOT become lucid. It's just that I have become so much used to LDing that this stuff happens.
      I continued my way inside. A foul stench greeted me, something like badly maintained public toilets. I went along a dark passageway that was lit by only flaming torches. I went inside a a stone door. There it was. THE tomb.
      The smell was unbelievable. It reeked of death and decay. It was toxic. No shit! We had forgotten oxygen masks! I go outside to get them, but now, I was actually in that period of time. I could see a dozen more pyramids and sculptures. There were people bustling here and there, all wearing nothing but a short cloth around their loins, and the women were wearing those.......things....you see in movies. White, old fashioned gowns with red necklaces.
      It was a little weird, but I justified it as movie props. I asked a DC, "Excuse me, but, have you seen my car?"
      "Sure. It's round the corner from here." "Thanks."
      I went to his directed path. When I arrived, there were just an ice cream stand. Good. I was feeling hot from the running anyways. I ordered an ice cream. The attendant there told me that there was no electricity here in this past world, and that I would need to "contact the authorities". Bummer. :/
      I saw a bunch of people walking by. They were talking excitedly, in a language I could not comprehend. Now I began to doubt reality. No way this could be real!

      I became lucid. I did an RC, just to be sure. I was dreaming! Awesome! I calmed down. It's good to have a lucid dream after a dry spell, but I can't end it soon. I watched around a bit. There were many pyramids, but most were of sphinxes and Pharaohs. I saw a DC wearing a suit and went up to him.
      "Excuse me, but where are the construction grounds?"
      "93 Berthingale Street."
      "Okay, thanks."
      God, my DCs suck at directions. :/
      I ripped open the fabric of time and space, creating a portal. It was my first time actually creating one. I jumped inside it, expecting myself to be at the place where pyramids were being built.
      I succeeded. I was in a large, open area. There were many pyramids under constructions, and there were numerous slaves going at it. The typical thing you see in movies, you know. There were some leaders that were cracking whips at the slaves, forcing them to do the work. I saw a cart pulling up gold statues pass by me. Wait. I thought Egyptians didn't have the wheel? I ask the DC that, and she replies, "Well, that's the big deception. We use the wheel, but don't tell anyone about it. Insolent little brats."
      And she walks away. I laughed to myself, and started to grow wings to fly. I was in the middle of the transformation, when I woke up because of falling from the bed.


      Short lucid, but it's not my fault. -_-

      Oh my god! I have re-written this whole dream about 3 times and each time some shitty error came up or something and it all got erased!!
      *sigh* OK one last try!

      A False FA.

      Rating : ★★★★☆

      I dreamed that I was about to sleep in my bed. I was in my room, where everything looked perfectly normal. I try to WILD, and after some time, I feel my self (supposedly) entering SP. I was about to slip into dream state, when the doorbell suddenly rang. This snaps me out of SP. Somebody goes to open the door, and I hears loud, excited, and pleasantly surprised voices. Annoyed, I try to go back to sleep. Again, I was about to dose off, when my room's door suddenly bursts open, and one of my cousins come in, taking no notice that I was trying to sleep. She was one I haven't seen for years in IRL, but in my dream, she appeared to have come back from a holiday. She kept talking in loud voices, perhaps intentionally so I would wake up.
      Unable to sleep anymore, I get up, and go to the bathroom to wash my face.
      Good thing I didn't do anything else! After that, I go to the dining room, where everybody is having dinner, and talking excitedly. The atmosphere looked quite bright. I eat my meal, not noticing any difference between this and a real meal. Then I go back to my room to catch some sleep, now too tired to WILD, and soon doze of into a dream sleep.
      I wake up in the middle of the night, like we usually do. I realize that it would be a good time to FILD. Thus I move my fingers slowly, trying not to move the rest of my body. After about one minute, I look at my alarm clock. It's 1:30 am. Then I look away, and look at the clock again. It is now 4:25.
      I become lucid. The vividness of the dream wasn't that good, and it was unstable. I focus on the environment, and rub my hands. While rubbing, I notice that I have no hands, just a stub of a wrist, like the rest was cut off. I try to touch my non-existent finger, but I feel instead an invisible, jelly-like substance that I can not penetrate, preventing me from touching my fingers and palm.
      Now that my vision is clear, I start to go out of the room, not wanting to run through the window and fly so early in a dream in case it ends. So I walk to the door, and pull it open.
      IRL, there is a small corridor in front of my room, a large mirror on the wall, and my bird's cage, a Mynah, hangs there. But when I open the door, there is the corridor alright, but there is no cage. Instead, my pet bird is walking on the floor freely, along with a white duck and a white dove. Where did these two come from? Amused, I continue, and come to the mirror. I can see that my image is warped from the bottom. I continue towards the living room. I see a large coffee jar on the center table. I try my telekinesis skills, using the invisible rope method to summon the jar to me. But all it does is levitate a meter above the table and sort of wobble towards me a bit, like an object in space. Annoyed by this, I grab the jar in mid-air and through it violently on the wall, but it just bounces off it like a rubber ball.
      Defeated, I continue my way out.
      Normally, there is a spiral staircase that leads to the ground floor. But here, there are only two flights of stairs, one on right and another on left. They are in a very bad condition, which tiles coming off and the railings rusting heavily. Not bothering to climb down, I turn off gravity, grab the railing, and jump the whole staircase. It felt amazing, to do acrobats in a dream. I am slowly landing now, but then I grab a horizontal pole thats sticking out of the wall's side, and start to swing in circles. I let go, propelling quite high into the air, doing two back flips along the way, and land quite perfectly on the ground. Now I am in front of two ancient doors. The passage leading to them is very congested, making it difficult for me to get out. Finally, I manage to squeeze myself out, and now I am facing a highway, where cars are going by in high speeds. There is very little ground to stand on without stepping on the road. I am suddenly shocked when a large truck speeds past me, missing me by inches. I have had enough, I don't want to get killed in a lucid. So I look for a pill in my pocket, and take out everything inside it. I see some chewing gum wrappers, my mobile headphones, and other pieces of general trash found in the pockets of teens. ^_^ But there is no pill for me to grow wings with.
      I turn back the way I had come, but now there is no door. Instead, I am now standing on a large platform, made of brown, polished marble. In front of me, there are two pillars and a rectangular wall, arranged in a pillar-wall-pillar formation. The wall is blocking my view, so I run up to it, imagining myself passing through it. I collide with it, and fall pitifully to the ground. The wall, though looking marble-like in appearance, seemed to be made of a spongy material. Having learnt my lesson, I walk up to the side of the wall. I am amazed by what I see. There is a whole city in front of me, with everything made of exactly the same material.
      The platform is twenty or so meters high from the ground. Looking down, I see a not-so-busy road, and a line of shops. Turning gravity off again, (which I am quite good at) I jump off, again landing cat-like on the ground. Now I see a footpath, a few passersby going here and there, and a bench next to the road where three people are talking. I hear a guy saying, "Yeah, I heard burger king got flooded by turtles again." and someone replying, "They could make turtle steaks now."
      I decide to join their conversation, and see that there is a guy and two girls sitting there, all perhaps sixteen or so. When I come over, the girls are cool with it, but the guy looks irritated, perhaps even jealous. Suddenly, he gets up, and grasps my collar, challenging me to a fight.
      The landscape changes. We are now in a large open area, with barbed wires serving as a fence, so that none of us can escape. There is dark here, and no one around except us two. The guy has morphed into a gangster-like person, with quite some muscles and a chain in his hand. He runs towards me, about to attack me with a punch. I am calmly standing there, hands in my pocket, waiting for him to come closer. He is now inches from me, and I see his punch moving in slow-motion, about to connect to my face.
      I am a black belt in tae-kwon-do, no kidding. I tilt my head a little bit, and his punch misses. He attacks with his other hand, aiming for my stomach. I step swiftly and fluently to my side, ending my behind him. For those who know it, I jump up, and execute a tornado kick, that hits the back of his neck. He goes flying on his back, travelling quite a distance before falling down.



      In a rage, he gets up, and charges for a second time. this time, he is much faster, which surprises me. But still, this is my dream after all. I take out a pill out of my pocket, which is somehow marked as, "fire". Don't know why, but I crush it in my hands. Suddenly, flames erupt from it, engulfing my whole body. But I do not feel a thing, it is surprisingly cool. I raise my hands, and see a tongue of fire emanating from them. Concentrating my aura, I gather all of the flames into a ball of fire, and shoot it at that poor guy. The flames char his whole body in an instant, and he slumps to the ground, unconscious.
      I somehow end up in a bar, and thought I might as well order up a drink. I sit on the table, and notice everyone here looks like a bunch of juvenile delinquents. I continue to drink, amazed at how real it tasted. I look for my mobile in my pocket, but it is not there. Strange! It was there a moment ago! I look around, and see a bunch of people nearby smoking and leering at me.
      I go up to their leader, and beat him up. The other guys seem scared by this, and one of them hands me my mobile back. I take it, and go back to my table. I put my hand in my pocket, and my mobile is lost again! Damn! How do these guys steal so fast?!
      I go back to them, and the scene changes. I am back to the same ground. Now, there are all those people around me, with chains, knives, brass knuckles, and every kind of street weapon available. They all charge at me at once. I dodge a few attacks, smack a couple in the face, and kick more of them away, but there's still a lot of them. They grab my hands and legs, and start beating me up. One of them starts to violently punch my face, and another stabs me in the leg. They were really roughening me up. I was losing consciousness.
      And suddenly, there was this flash of bright light. Everyone stops, and looks around. About 10 meters away, Leona is standing there. She says, "Tch..." as if annoyed. Another flash of light, and I find myself free, crouching on one knee beside her. There is a split second's elapse, and all of the thugs fall to the ground, badly injured. I was amazed, she defeated them all, in just a flash!
      "You fool! You can't take on all of them by yourself! Not now, anyways."
      I was like, "Huh?!"
      "Believe in yourself. You are the master of this world. You have to believe that you can do anything. Hesitate, and you will die."
      She disappears again. I soon lose consciousness, perhaps due to the wounds, and wake up.

    13. I meet my dream guide.

      by , 06-09-2010 at 03:57 PM (LUCIDMAX's max lucids!)
      Now this is where the fun starts. Now, I don't have any more nightmares of this kind, so I can enjoy my lucids. Finally!

      Note: From here on, I will post my dreams in a rough order, because I don't remember the exact dates. However, once I have written all the dreams I can remember, I will update my DJ daily so you can read it in order. ^_^

      I meet my DG



      Rating : ★★★★☆

      My first WILD, by the way.

      I came home, very tired after a whole day at the beach partying with my friends, celebrating the beginning of summer vacation. I lay down on my bed, intending to WILD as it would be a good time to do so. I stay still, use some meditation to calm myself, and then start reverse blinking. I don't know how long I was going at it. After a while, I felt vibrations pulsing through my body. The vibrations start particularly with my hands, then spread throughout my entire body.
      Eventually, I begin to enter SP. I hear a sound, like a whisper, or perhaps wind blowing. And I can see red and black lines flying around here and there. I was pretty excited on finally making some progress, but I told myself to calm down. Slowly, these lines combined to form weird shapes, which were also jumping about. It's was an amazing experience. Now they began to expand. They expanded until I could see nothing else, and then I felt a sucking sensation, as if I was falling into the mass of shapes.
      I finally enter dream state. Just to be sure, I pass my finger through my palm. It easily goes in, but it leaves a hole in my palm. I remember I was very amused at this, and kept on punching holes in my palm until I was bored. Then I started to look around. I was in a vast, open area, with tall skyscrapers made entirely of glass. None of these buildings had a reflection. The whole landscape was completely deserted. I eat a pill that was in my pocket (another technique I am handy with) and grow black wings. I flap them and start to fly. It was amazing! I flew high and low, enjoying the feeling to my hearts content. This was the first time I remember being this happy in a dream. While flying, I do some stability techniques to stabilize the dream.
      After a while, I land, now in a street full of shoppers and passer-byes. I try talking to them, but all anyone can say is, "Whatcha?" Again, I was very amused. Then I started to lose lucidity. I yell, "Increase Lucidity!" Nothing Happens. I rub my hands to try and stabilize the dream, but in vain. As a last resort, I spin. I am still spinning, and the dream ends. I am back on my bed awake. Suddenly, my clock starts to ring. It's a glow in the dark type, and I can see it's 4 o'clock. Then I turn it off and check the time again. It's now 11:30. I was like, eh? Another FA? Cool!
      I slowly get out of my bed, but I find I can not move my body. Looking here and there, I see my usual room, but now someone was sitting on the chair of my computer table. It was a very pretty girl, about 18 or so, and looked French. She was wearing a deep blue dress, and was just sitting there, looking at me. As I saw her, I couldn't stop looking. I sensed an aura emanating from her, and I felt this sudden sensation of love and warmth, but with a hint of sadness.
      I have already described it in one of my posts. She starts to rise, and I notice I still can't move. She comes up to me, and is now standing directly above me. I am quite calm, knowing it's a dream, and besides, she didn't have a dangerous intention, I could sense it. (I am good at sensing auras ^_^) I can only gaze at her, mesmerized by her beauty, especially her shoulder-length hair, which were a blonde color.
      She asks me, "Do you know who I am?"
      "A dream character?"
      "No, I am your dream master."
      Confused, I say, "Huh? Do you mean dream guide?"
      "You can say that."
      "WOW! I have never met my dream guide before."
      "Of course you haven't. How dumb do you think I am?"
      "Sorry. Well, whats your name, anyways?"
      "It's Leona."
      "I see."
      "Well, don't just lie there! Get up, you lazy asshole!"
      I was shocked by that, and told her I couldn't move. But the she smiled and grabbed my arm, and pulled me up. "Follow me." she says, and leads me out of my room. I exit through the door, and come to a clear, green area, with only grass and a few trees.



      I ask her, "Well, what do dream guides do?"
      "I am here as your dream master, and I bet I can teach you a few things."
      "Really? Like what?"
      'Well, do you know how to summon objects?"
      "Not really, though I have heard of it."
      "Well, let's just try that first. First, focus on the object you wanna summon."
      "Okay."
      "Next, raise your hand and imagine it materializing there. You have to feel it materializing or it won't work."
      I did as she instructed, and found the lightsaber I had imagined in my hands.
      "Cool! What else can you teach me?"
      "Thats it for now, I'm tired."
      "Hey, wait! I wanna learn some more."
      "Okay, this is a really cool trick. Imagine your real body lying peacefully in your bed."
      I did so. "Now imagine yourself falling back into it."
      Again, I did what she told me.

      And then, I woke up. I had been tricked! That B*TCH!!


      Well, thats it for today. I have perhaps four or so more dreams to share before I can post my latest ones. It's really late now, and I am tired of typing.
      Be sure to comment and rate! Thanks!

    14. Drugs and a Movie

      by , 06-09-2010 at 03:56 PM
      Type: regular dream.
      Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
      Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

      My parents. I tend to have dreams where I'm at their houses, or when I'm at one we used to live in. This was the situation in this dream; my dad used to live in an apartment.

      The apartment had all beige walls. When you walked in, you'd be in a little area where you could take your shoes off and put them in a closet with wooden sliding doors, which was right in front of you. You turn to the right, and there's an ottoman. Keep going, two or three feet, and there's the open space of the living room, the dining room, and the study area. The dining room comes first; it's a basic round maple wood table with four chairs spaced evenly around it. Behind that, there's the study, with an L-shaped desk. Then, turn to the left, and there's a little 'movie area', with a flat screen TV and two couches. One is at a 90 degree angle to the TV, while the other one is directly in front. The couches are dark brown leather.

      This is where the dream began. It was night time; my dad was on the couch in front of the TV, I was standing beside him, and we were about to watch a movie. He hands me a movie and I look at it.

      "The Illusionist? I just watched this a few days ago! But I'll watch it anyways."

      I sat down beside him on the couch.

      That was true; I had actually watched the movie in real life less than a week ago. When I woke up, I was surprised a real movie was be in my dreams. Anyways, that's beside the point.

      He put the DVD in, and the disc menu looked almost exactly like the real thing. Although I cannot remember exactly what was in it, my father handed me a navy, rectangular box. It may have been some form of candy, or chocolate. I also remember opening it and exclaiming that I liked this "type" of food.

      The dream skipped, and I was now at the computer desk on a balcony. The floor of the balcony was tan marble tile, which actually looked very pretty, and the walls were all large square glass panels, separated by thin lines of silver structure. The desk faced out towards the window, which was looking out at a next-door apartment building. I was making graphics on the computer; game sprites, to be exact. I was making a character for an upcoming video game I was creating, which looked very intricate and detailed, even though I could never really have designed something like it. The sprite was around 50x50 pixels, was salmon-colored, and had yellow stripes. It looked almost like a fluffy hedgehog, of some sort. That's when I heard my dad coming; whenever I hear my parents coming, I always seem to close what I'm doing on the computer, no matter how innocent it may be (not like I do anything else). My dad walked in and I was just able to close the computer window with the sprite on it.

      He looked at me and asked "what are you doing?" fairly suspiciously.

      I was surprised by his reaction.

      I told him that I was creating sprites, but this only made him more suspicious. He asked me what sprites were, and before I could reply, he asked if they're a type of drug. I replied that they aren't, it's a type of computer graphic, but he began yelling and saying to never do that again.

      I posted my problems on DV, and I got some VERY helpful advice from DarkMatters. He told me to try and talk to her, which proved to be very helpful and got rid of this for good. Thanks, Darkmatter!

      After a long and tiring day, I feel asleep quickly. I was somehow reliving 9/11. I saw the two planes crash. I did what I could, warning people and telling them to get away. No one cared what I said, though. Then each and everyone of us witnessed the planes crashing, but in my dreams, they were more like space shuttles. I was inside the building at the time, and I got the full impact of the blast. I fainted, or perhaps died, and woke up. I thought, man, why do I get killed in my dreams. As I am thinking, I notice that my bedroom has a pink wall paint rather than the blue IRL. And I notice that my vision is blurred at the edges, and THAT was somehow making it difficult to breathe. I look at my hands. The are no hands! There is only my wrist, and my palm and fingers seem to have been cut off. I become lucid. I rub my hands to make my vision clearer, and it is successful. Now with real-life-like vision, I proceed out of my room. IRL, just outside my room is a big mirror, and I saw that in the dream as well. When I looked in it, I saw a corpse version of myself. I thought, eh? That reminds me of something! I have to try talking to that zombie girl! Maybe I can solve this once and for all! Now my heartbeat starts to race. I come closer to the mirror, and put my hand into it. The mirror is like water, and waves emerge from the point where my hand touched it. I climb into it, and teleport to where I thought I would find her.
      I am now standing in a dark valley. There is only one lamp, which is flickering feebly. It's is total darkness, darker than night. I steel myself, telling myself that it's just a dream. I proceed, and I see a door in the wall. I thought, Good! Now I can bring her out. Using the behind-the-door technique (my specialty), I manage it. I come into a room, which is bright with light. I can see that girl, crouched in a corner like something stuffed out of sight, not loved and not wanted. Suddenly, even after my horrific experiences with her, I feel pity for her. She suddenly notices that I am here, and gets up. I see the same familiar face, but it's wet with tears now. She tries to grab my throat, and I resist the impulse to run away. Instead, I make her hug me. Holding her close, I say, "I am not scared of you anymore. Why are you doing this? Why do you always scare me in my dreams? I can help you, if you want."
      She seems surprised a bit, the starts to sob on my shoulder. While I am holding her, she starts to transform, turning taller, as if morphing into an older person. I look at her, and I see she has changed into my ex. I was quite moved by this. Still crying, she says, "Why do you hate me? I couldn't help it."
      After which, she starts to mutter something which I cannot understand, all the time sobbing on my shoulder. I realize what was going on all this time. I hold her more tightly, and say, " I love you. Don't think that I don't. You are a part of my subconscious, and I love you as anyone else. Please stop crying." As soon as I said it, I felt her get lighter and lighter, until I realize she turns into a mere vapor and starts to fade away. I heard only one last word from her, "Thanks."
      I was a little sad, and I lost all my excitement after this. I was in no mood to try any stuff either. I found myself, somehow, by the seaside. It was still night. I was at the Bahrain Bridge, near to my home IRL. This is how it looks like:



      It starts to pour rain. No lightning, just heavy rain. And I am standing against the railing, lost in thought.


      I woke up after some time. It was a Thursday, so I was free. (We have weekends on Thursday and Friday) I lay in my bed for a good two hours, thinking.
