chris I'm walking in some weird high up place and I see Chris sitting on a bench. I say "hi" but have to keep walking for some reason. I pass by him a few times wanting to talk to him but something keeps distracting me so I hesitate and don't talk to him. Manuel I'm in a dark place with the Nagual Manuel. Our energy bodies are being compared. We are both Naguals, but his energy body is brighter than mine, it feels slightly larger than mine as well. I unserstand that is why he is so sought after. It's his energy, he can share it with anyone with no harm to him. My kind of Nagual has to learn to conserve and deploy energy properly. For Manuel it isn't much of a problem to just give some energy away. Dreamers can seek him out for a boost. Since I have dreamed with him a few times, lucid dreamers can seek me out as a certain scout to take me top him in dreams. Dreamers can call to me a to take me to him. For some reason he seems to trust me in dreams. Taking the rougher road At first I have to go to some house out in the country. The setting seems to be chilliwack near cultus lake. I go to the housw but I don't remember what happened there. When I leave I decide to leave from the side of the yard which takes me closer to the road. I have to climb up a steep hill to get there. I have to literally use my upper body strength to geto the road. The cars are so close by that I worry if they'll run over my head as I climb. But as if on cue, the cars dissapear. I begin walking down the road and wind up in an office I've been here in dreaming before when Asuka was playing a cat and mouse game with me last year. I remember the route I took to leave the building. Later I wind up near a restaurant. I go inside with Gary, but when we arrive he is another friend. Someone hands me a cell phone I think Is my dad's. It's an insurance company calling for him and they want to talk to me. I say since I'm not my dad that it's not my problem. I hang up and laugh with my friend about it. I eat some sort of omellette after.
I was laying on my bed on Facebook and I suddenly got an IM from a mutual friend of my girlfriend and I that my girlfriend was mad at me. About the same time my girlfriend, Jessi, called saying she was, so I assumed they had just been talking about it. I wasn't sure what her problem was so I drove out to her house to see what was the matter. In her driveway were a couple from my school who doesn't even know her. I got mad because I thought the girl in the passenger seat was Jessi; not sure why I got so mad. Jessi came to the door and she was sad about something. Before I could talk to her she went back inside and I decided it wasn't worth it to talk to her. I went next door to find that a kid from my church was trying to get inside a house. They told me they lived there now and that their mom would let them in a second. I watched the mom enter through another door with beer, drunk and acting like a retard. She let us in and the kid, Connor, ran into his room to play Wheel of Fortune. I was mad at his mom because she recently divorced a friend of my family, so I stole a flashdrive from her desk and ran. In a different dream I was with my brother in car in the middle of the woods at night. We were sleeping in his car for reasons unknown, but we were laughing and having fun. We made a campfire and ate marshmallows while a white dog watched us from the grass. We started to go down the road at some point, but I don't remember why. I suddenly realized that it was raining and we were in a tornado. We started running to the car but the tornado was lifting us up. I've had many tornado dreams before and I guess I knew I was dreaming on some level, so I told Brad that if we leaned back and waved our legs we would fall down. We did so and safely returned to the car where we went to sleep.
Three dreams recalled from last night. One lucid! Dream 1: In this dream I was playing Call of Duty (I normally don't play often, but lately I've kinda picked it up out of boredom), and was rocking at it (I suck at it in reality). I changed my killstreaks to Predator Missile, Precision Airstrike, and AC130. I never have this setup, since I can never get more than like... 5 kills in a row. But anyways, in the dream I was running around with a UMP just destroying, mainly with good knife kills. Then when I finally got the AC130, I got shot down like right away. Dream 2: This dream is kind of obscure, since in the middle of the night I just wrote down "5:30 don't wake me up." I vaguely remember the basis of this dream. I was woken up at 5:30 (the dream took place much earlier in the morning) by my mom, and I got really mad at her since she interrupted a good dream, and since it was 5:30 I had gotten enough sleep where it would be hard to fall back asleep. Dream 3: I was at a school dance, but it wasn't at my school. It was in some kind of place that seemed like a mini-cafeteria. No one was dancing though, and there wasn't any music. But everyone was having a ton of fun. Anyways, we all decided to go outside, and there were a bunch of people walking around that don't go to my school. I remember looking at an old lady sitting on a bench, and wondering why she was here. There was this huge water tower next to her, that all my friends wanted to go into. We started climbing the ladder, and once we got about 75 feet high, I got really scared. I remember thinking to myself that it was weird, since I'm rarely afraid of heights. So I jumped off of the ladder (while I was still 75 feet up) and landed on the ground. As if it was normal. Then it hit me, I was dreaming. So I said, "Wait, if this is just a dream, why am I afraid of heights!? I can't get hurt!" So I started climbing the ladder. By the time I reached the top, lucidity was lost (awww.). I entered the tower, and seemed like a pit that had metal pathways going from room to room in the water tower. But no one was supposed to be here. At this point, all my friends were gone and this was my mission. There were a bunch of robot guards walking the pathways, making it nearly impossible to sneak around. I got caught, and was thrown out of the tower. But it didn't harm me, so I kept retrying over and over, about 10 or so times. Then I got the idea just to make a run for it and not let the robots catch me, and I made it to a door. When I walked in, it was an orchestra in the middle of a rehearsal. I got really embarrassed that I interrupted this, and it somehow made me wake up.
Here are some short fragments from a nap earlier today, will expand on it later: -was lucid -train, framework -armies, rancor, explosives -turned super saiyan -group of guys, possibly the enemy, or dream guides -being tested -was able to stop a train with my bare hands, although it pushed me back a while -shouting "I will stop this train!" and screaming lots too -powering up while being pushed back by the train -kissing a girl -embarrassed in front of a friend -traveling somewhere -finding something that was lost -being in a city -possibly being in front of traffic? from a couple nights ago: -saw baphomet, then saw baphomet in portrait form -talked to a friend from interlochen about having seen baphomet in my dream, in the dream, with the big portrait of baphomet in front of us -in this lounge area of a house, light blue colors, calm mood
I was at my house and I custom made a shotgun that could hook up to the internet. The keyboard was on the butt of the gun, and it was pretty basic. There were 10 buttons, but if you pressed them high middle or low, they would type different letters. I was going to go outside and hunt with it because the moon looked bright outside, and when i left my house, the scene changed to some dark area hallway. I headed into a room that turned out to be a dimly light bathroom. I could see someone at the end of it, and I wasn't sure what to do. I left, and came back, and the guy was already at the door. He looked like some bum that came off of the streets, but he had on a military uniform. This girl walked in, and he started hitting on her, and I told him chill out. He started getting upset with me, and I was trying to figure out how I was going to fight this guy without anyone getting shot since I still had that gun in my hands.
Poor sleep this day.
Non-Dream Non-Lucid Lucid This will probably hurt your eyes, so I'm changing the color to green. I was playing Halo Reach on split screen co-op. I was already lucid from playing some more subliminal lucid tracks on my iPod. The game seemed off, there were no Jackals or Buggers where there were supposed to be. The game seemed to be without cut-scenes, there is no HUD, and the levels seemed to be cut in together. I decided to go with it. At one point, my brother left from the co-op match, yet, the computer seemed to be controlling his player. I got a point where there was a bunch of marines. I picked up a grenade launcher just for fun. It looked oddly like a Striker from MW2. I shot at a marine and tit didn't explode, it had direct impact, which was weird for Halo, since that isn't supposed to happen. One of the higher commands started righting me a citation(WTF?) so I just restarted from the last checkpoint. I got to the marines again, and ignored them. I killed a few Elites, turned a corner and saw a very odd sight. I saw two droids that looked like they were from a Star Wars parody because they were taller than usual. Also, I saw a deformed grunt. I shot them all down while they were ranting about something. Then, a few Spartans and Elites entered where I was, so I took for cover behind a futuristic chain-link wall. There was one Elite left, and he looked pretty pissed. Suddenly, a creepy purple legged spider/beast machine with a semi-transparent orange cockpit fell in front of the elite and crushed my computer co-op Spartan. The Elite got on, and the beast machine roared, stood up on it's several hind legs, and tackled Spartans one-by-one. The only way it could move was by jumping. It crashed through the wall and killed a Spartan. It couldn't fit all the way so it went around. I went by another wall, but the machine gave chase. It cornered me and asked the weirdest question. "Do you have a cat?" I replied, "Uh, yes?" I woke up because I was tackled by my cat. Notes: Vividness: 9/10 Lucid Peak: 4/10 Another weird dream. Subliminal Lucid Music=

September 28, 2010 Asleep by 1:30am My notes are confusing me... Anyways... New apartment Jack and I were moving into a new place (this has been coming up a lot lately. I think I must really desire living on my own, or our own; as opposed to my current location, which is my parent's basement suite). It seems like we're moving into the university residence apartments. I remember us moving boxes. That's about it. Overpass of doom There is a pedestrian overpass. It's a bi-level, metal and not very.... safe. It doesn't have much in the way of guard rails, and it tends to sway. And for some reason, Tim was out in the middle of this overpass (lower level), over traffic, and not moving. I went out onto the upper level to help him out. I was crawling along it, cos the thing was very scary, and I had more stability this way. I reached Tim (who I couldn't see, since he was on the lower level). We both sat there for a bit, taking it easy so we wouldn't fall. I looked below and saw the cars passing underneath. I started to sing, to calm my nerves, and felt the overpass shake, because Tim started drumming to it I shouted at him to stop drumming, he's going to shake us off of here! We both started inching along, and made it off the overpass, safely. As I descended from the steps, I caught sight of Darren, who had been watching us, tensely. His face lit up when he saw that we were okay, and we ran towards each other. I jumped at him and he swung me around, and he held me tight and told me how worried he was while I was up there. Dream ended Awake at 4:30-ish, natural. I reviewed my goal for the night (instead of using the front door idea, I wonder if I will have any luck in finding my brother if I ask a DC to point me in his direction? Anyways, it would also kill off the advanced task, cos if they say they haven't seen him, I was going to plant the idea that they would offer their help. DC's are always around in my dreams, so... it's worth a shot). All in all, it was a good WBTB and actually a good MILD mantra while falling back to sleep, but in the end, it wasn't successful. Breakfast fragment I was cooking sausage in a frying pan, but not at the stove Rather, I was somehow cooking it while sitting on a couch. I got up when it was done, and Jack got upset that it was the only thing I was eating. He made me cook off some tater hashbrowns. Theatre fragment I recall being in a line up with the crew of a play I was working on. Unfortunately, I can't remember much else about this dream, other than this... being with the crew. The theatre walls had dark drapes hanging from them.
I'm living in a city with a river and bridge dividing it in two, as I can see from aerial perspective. A huge transport/trade ship gets hit by a bomb on the river, I overhear conversation that it's a series of attacks and that the water is so cold that the men overboard will die if they don't get out within ten or fifteen minutes. I'm running toward the waterfront with a friend who I can't identify, we find part of the waterfront that isn't blockaded/fenced of and start shouting "Hey! over here!" as some members of the ships crew float relatively close in the water. We help haul up about five men onto the pavement. They are all foreigners, mostly black or asian, and have a very strong/calming presense about them. We're all sitting down on the concrete, knees to chest relaxed. Lots of fences and square concrete buildings, no signs or beautiful scenery, very plain, grey skies.

September 27, 2010 To be fair, though... I only had 3 hours of sleep. Anyways, for the lack of a better post, I will post this lovely end bit of a song from the Beatles Love album... This one is a transition between Eleanor Rigby and I am the Walrus. The transition song is "Julia," one of my absolute most favourite songs ever (and one I have listened to many times before WILDing or just when trying to relax). Anyways, when I heard this version, with a ghostly overlay of quiet "chattering" and other random sound effects totally reminds me of what my audio hallucinations are like (especially when on G/C). Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOqqBWie58M#t=2m28s
September 26, 2010 Just some fragments, today... Slept between 9am-4pm Theatre fragment I was with mum at a show. We both had iPods with us. I was listening to something with mine, on headphones, but for some reason, I kept trying to play something on hers, out loud. This guy in front of us was getting upset, and I got pissed off at him for touching mum's iPod. Work Glee Club fragment Walking through my current work site, I see this old radio classmate is there with a group of people. They are in the glee club for work, and I'm silently jealous, because I want to be in it, but because I'm a contracted security guard, I can't. Downtown fragment I'm downtown, on a street corner. I see my reflection in a shop window and notice my shirt is on inside out. I had a "sudden snap of awareness" but I ignored all the tell-tale signs to get lucid, because I was lost in thought with something. Picture of a lake fragment Staring at a blue-green mountain lake (surrounded by red rocks). The water was so clear, you could see to the bottom. At first, I thought I was looking at Warcraft graphics, but then realized it was real.
Non-lucid dream, kind of nightmare-ish full of tension/conflict, not enjoyable like most of my dreams have been lately so it stuck out. I'm part of some crime fighting organization, and we and our mad scientist design a helecopter to take out the bad guys and go inflitrate their base, which is like a generic military secret concrete geometrically squarish place. We infiltrate covert ops style, black suits and all, and wind up failing, they hijack our helecopter but we escape a-ok. The dream switches to a type of video game cutscene, with six of our helecopters, now retro fitted with nuclear missle and a dozen gunmen or so, rising out of the water! dun dun dun.. Created by their version of our mad scientist. evil mad scientist. So now my ex roommate it part of their organization, R, and we are texting for some reason, like we're trying to stay friends even though we're fighting eachother. The scene switches again, and they've just bombed a tropical island, perhaps to use it as a new base. The men that planted the bomb on the island are running frantically down the mountain as lava is flowing behind them, toward the shoreline below. I'm watching all this from an aerial 3rd person perspective, and see that R is on the mountain, and text him "Be safe!" and see him texting me back as he runs, the response says "No doubt here man" or something similarly macho. He is almost to the water when he slips on some rock, and the lava overtakes him and covers his left leg, leaving the rest of his body untouched. He begins to scream, howling in agony, and it is incredibly realistic and dominating my senses. It's like I'm standing next to somebody who has been mortally wounded and can do nothing. Now I'm in the water, swimming towards the island with lava flowing down toward my injured friend. I stop at a rock close to the shore, he is about fifteen ft away from me, and I start to splash water on to him as fast as I can, working hard, but it's doing nothing and he is still screaming horrifically. The lava is flowing down towards me and the water I'm standing in is getting closer and closer to boiling. I hesistate looking back at him and then jump into the water and swim away as fast as I can. At this point my organization comes zipping into sight on a white truck on a small dirt road on the island to save me, tropical trees and sand, dark grey skies. The dream then fades. This dream really stuck out because of how intensely real the screaming was ,and it persisted for about five minutes real time. Fortunately I haven't had a bad dream since this one. P.s. I'm going to make a habit of posting some dreams each week, interesting, whether lucid or not just to make a habit of it and I develop my RC and LD skill sets. Hope y'all don't mind.
Non-Dream Non-Lucid Lucid I was in PE. The teacher was doing a running test. She set up a few markers and we had to make it before a specified time. I was doing pretty well even though I have asthma. Eventually some jock mocked me and called me a nerd, and I wasn't peeved off. This rarely ever happens to me, I'm kinda the guy who hangs out with everyone. I wasn't pissed off, but I felt sick. I couldn't run as fast. I went to the edge of the sidewalk and sneezed and (be warned, this is gross) a whole ball of snot rolled out of my nose. I was so disgusted and embarrassed, and the dream ended. Notes: Vividness: 8/10 Weird dream...
Non-Dream Non-Lucid Lucid I started out on the bottom of my school quad with a gun-type thing in my hand. I was already lucid because I listened to a subliminal lucid track before I fell asleep. I tried to climb up the stairs but I felt weak. Gravity seemed to rip my muscles as I climbed up the stairs. When I finally got to the top by just teleporting with a single thought. I saw a few others with guns and mini-radars held in their hands. I noticed it was twilight. The sky was purple with orange streaks of orange at the horizon, along with the silhouettes of trees and homes. I looked below the horizon down to the field and b-ball courts and saw snipers and a few others. I realized it was a VR because the people getting shot faded out. A person showed me his radar and a person was heading towards our camp. We saw him come in through our right side and I shot him down. In that time, I was sniped twice, and I faded out. The dream ended. Notes: Vividness: 9/10 Subliminal messaging to induce lucid dreams work great for me.

For my first overwhelmingly lucid dream, I found it to be just that; overwhelming. It was fun and frightening at the same time (the frightening part eventually leading to my downfall). This dream had everything I had read about in it and it's invigorating to write it down. I went to take a nap at about 2:45 after I put in a set of ear plugs. Shortly after repeating in my head over and over again that I would "Have a lucid dream" and "Remember that I was dreaming" I felt like there was some sort of drift, or maybe lapse of conscience I've read about. Then quickly I was enveloped into this scene where I was having a hard time standing up. Having already had a previous dream like this still relatively fresh in my memory, I overcame that weakness and stood up, in which time I got into a car with my buddy Matt. Driving like a madman, and looking even more so like one (I'm talking trippy), and laughing out of control. Eventually I turned my head to look out the window and we were driving through the densest forest of what seemed to look like giant green asparagus. As soon as I started to focus in on what was around me I started to get a little bit excited and then the entire environment around me shifted as the asparagus turned from a deep green to an eerie, photographic negative feel in which time I feel into a bright white room where the vibrations came. I've read and heard about the vibrations on all of the forums and documentaries and nothing could quite describe what this was like. I knew all well what they were but all I could see was myself holding my ears wanting it to stop, even though deep down I thought the entire experience was breath-taking, literally... I started breathing fast and becoming overwhelmingly fearful and wanting it to stop. Finally, I took some deep breaths and slowly came out. I sat in my bed in awe for about ten minutes afterwards. Cool as anything.
