sitting atop the great pyramid.

It becomes crystal.

Dreamers fly in like a flock of birds. I am stunned.

People keep saying we did it!

I keep saying you have been doing it!

Writing this rather late at night. This is for the happenings of last night, and not this night.

I remember two dreams last night

Dream 1.
I am in a cliche jungle-esque area. I remember in this setting, I was not myself but instead placed in this dream as a man in his late twenties. I had brown hair and a suit on.
I believe I was a part of a race, or some sort of competition, as well, I believe I was partially lucid for part of the dream, as I remember at a point in the dream, I heard a kid, he's about 13-15, taunting me, he keeps yelling "I'm ahead of you, you can't catch me" He's near a log that you have to balance on to get across, and on his right side, a ladder, in case you were to follow off, I assume. So, when hearing this taunting, I specifically remember saying " ah yeah? We'll just see about that" By now my appearance has changed to me being my normal self, 16 year old self I usually see when day-dreaming.
So, considering there were plenty of rather high hills in front of me, making it tricky to get through this area, unless you're falling the specific path laid out for you. So, with my knowledge of my dream abilities, I made a very straight path, literally cutting through these hills, to the area where the kid was. I remember the kids face as a dumb founded, awestruck look.

Anyways, a little later on in the dream I'm in a small camp with a very quickly set up tent, with a large stump near it, a table with things to cook and drink and a fire in the middle, over top is the canopy of the trees. I'm trying to connect to the internet, while having a ipod playing music next to me. The internet connection is a little fuzzy but it all seems well, I'm on a wierd video, and then the internet, and my music start to glitch up at the exact same time.

I try fixing the internet connection, yet every time it glitches up, the computer takes me to a website. I still remember it very clearly. The website was about a girl who had died,. I wording was black on a white background for half the page,while the other half, the right side, was covered in red with creepy pictures of a girl stuck in barbed wire, biting down on it, shadows covering her eyes, and her scowling at the viewer of the page.
I started joking about how this girl was trying to haunt me and then my music started changing to songs named "Connect," "help", and one I couldn't read, even going so far as thinking in the dream " how strange, I can't seem to read the name."


Now, here's where the second dream starts. You see, while I was viewing the webpage, it was almost like one of those scenes in a movie where they zoom in on a screen, zoom out, and you're in a completely different place.
I'm now in my house, in our living room on the computer. The kitchen is attached to the living room, and in the living room, my brother is talking with his girlfriend on the phone, my parents over with him as well. There was a blizzard outside and my brother seems to be talking to his girlfriend about driving to her cabin. He then says something to the likes of "You know, I can never forget when a signal is being interfered."
With that, every light turns off, even my computer, the only exception being a single light over our kitchen table. The T.V. blinks on and off three times then even the kitchen light goes off.

Of course, since I still have memories of my last dream, I kind of freak out, thinking a ghost is truly going to kill me. After a few seconds, I force myself to steady my breathing and close my eyes to help myself calm down. It was eerily silent, I believe I forgot to keep the people in the kitchen there in my dream and I was now alone. After about 5 seconds, I tell myself I tell myself in my dream " Okay, now you just have to open your eyes" and of course, with this, I actually opened my real eyes, rather widely too. I did a reality check and I did find out that yes, I was actually awake.
So my dream self woke my real self up. First time this has happened in a very long time.

Well, still faced with practically no recall. The only thing I remember is something about a city, family members, and stress. I guess it's a start, but not much of one. Oh well, hope you all have better luck than me at least!

Game Analysis 101
I am in school, it seems to be a game design class. Everyone is talking about some video games and comparing them. I am paying some attention, but I feel quite tired and I also feel like falling asleep. My eyelids are heavy and I close them just enough to rest them. I drift to sleep, and then I get poked by the person next to me. I look and I see that my ex-boyfriend is in the class with me, and he has poked me to wake me up. I stay awake long enough to hear everyone is now discussing Oblivion, and how it compares to Fallout 3. The subject of Skyrim comes up as the instructor asks if anyone has played that and how it compares. James says all of them blow ass. I comment he wouldn’t know a good game if it bit him. He gives me a strange look, maybe says something, but I am again drifting off to sleep. My eyes close and then I wake up.

Cats!
I am in a place I don’t recognize, it is a house, and it is a big one. I have no thought that I’m not supposed to be there, I am just wandering around and exploring. I enter a bedroom and see an adorable tabby cat on the bed. How cute! I turn to leave the bedroom and I almost trip over a tortie cat right behind me. Wow… where did you come from? I pat the kitty and head down the hall towards the bathroom. In the bathroom I find there is no human toilet, but there are four cat pans lined against the far wall. Am I supposed to use the cat pan? Even if I wanted to, they are all occupied. There is a cat doing business in each one and also three more cats patiently waiting in line. Wow… 7 more cats! I pat the last one in line and head out to find a human bathroom. I don’t find another bathroom, but I find my way back to the living room. I go to sit on the couch but I am warded off by a hiss. I almost sat on a cat! I look and see there are seven cats crowded onto the seat of the couch, all lying around each other. There are three more cats on the back of the couch and a cat on each arm. 12 more cats! I mentally count cats and realize I have found 21 cats so far. I turn from the couch and almost fall on my face as I realize I am about to step on a cat’s tail and I move awkwardly to avoid doing that. 22 cats… I wake up with a single cat purring beside me.

At least according to the text I have in my dream journal. That means we are going back to the past again - my current recall is still fragmented, but I just finished my first ever 100 % recall-at-least-something-everyday-month. Gotta be happy.

My Longest, Best Quality Lucid Ever
Date: November 2nd, 2009
Lucid: Obviously
Method: DILD

This might be the clearest and longest lucid dream I had, but it's also a bit weird and doesn't actually have that much happening. Again "I just knew" that I wasn't inside my own body. I was in this town with my parent, as in parent of the guy whose body I was inside. I wasn't sure whether it was his mom or dad, as it seemed to shift from moment to moment. We went to some shop and for some reason the parent cheated me out of 20 cents of my own money.

The point of the whole trip to the town was to get this guy to driving school. I just decided to run away from that parent and I figured out that I could go to the guy who was my real life driver's instructor. In real life he wouldn't have probably taken me, as there was an incident IRL, but as I knew I wasn't in my own body, I knew I could go there. At this point I wasn't lucid yet, even if it would make sense that I were if I already know that I'm not inside my own body.

I was running up some hill and alongside the street there were some houses that had a carefully decorated facade. I found this odd given that I knew the town where I was in and there shouldn't be houses like that there. I decided to RC and got lucid. Part of me wanted to go along with the dream's plot, just to see where it goes, so I started proceeding further towards this driving school. I ran right into the traffic, knowing that even if I get ran over, it can't really damage me. Damn, thinking afterwards I ought to have done couple more RCs just to make sure.

I come to the corner of some building and remembered the monthly challenge of our forum. First I still decided to try out my powers by stopping all the traffic. Everything froze like I would have pressed the pause button. I got drunk with power and started shouting "I! AM! GOD!!!"

My forum's challenge that month was to meet your dream guide. So I just walked along in the empty town, that was still frozen by my pause-button, and started screaming, that my dream guide better show up.

Ground started to rumble, like something was running towards me. I was behind a building's corner and I heard how it ran past me. "I'm here", I shouted behind it.

I had wondered before what kind of dream guide I would like to have, but in the end I just decided that I wanted my subconscious to surprise me. It certainly did it.

My dream guide emerged. It was.... WOODY FUCKIN WOODPECKER. Like what the fuck? How the hell did that happen? I never even watch Woody Woodpecker, yet it's my dream guide. That's messed up on so many levels. My mind created an incredible 3d version of it (or should I refer to it as him?) as well, I was impressed about that, but still, what a mindfuck. Needless to say, I obviously don't believe any of these dream guide nonsense anymore.

So anyway, I asked Woody whether he'd help me have more lucids in the future and help me know myself better, like it read in the Dreamviews (oh my god, this is comedy gold... I couldn't even come up with anything as good as this). Woody was similar to my DCs usually, he didn't talk much.

I don't remember what happened to Woody, but given that I already did the challenge and met my dream guide, there was only one thing in my mind - sex. So I found myself a girl and had her give me a bj. I wouldn't normally go into the details in these kinds of things, well, not here anyway, but it felt so good this time that I came in like four seconds and was more intense than anything I've experienced in real life. Normally dream sex doesn't feel pretty much anything for me.

But yeah, I had gotten off so that part of me was satisfied (and for those of you curious, NO, I didn't wake up with messy pants), but the dream was still going on. Next I tried to burn my own house just after getting a random idea. Again, might be wise to make couple of RCs before doing shit like that, I don't think "But I though it was a dream" is going to be satisfactory explanation for the insurance company after committing arson to your own house. Anyway, the house didn't burn very well, so that's a relief.

I had a false awakening and then the nose test didn't work as it should have. For some reason I wasn't able to breath through it despite still being in a dream. Nothing noteworthy happened after that.

Still, kind of sad that this still probably the best and longest lucids I ever had. I've had a couple lucids later that could challenge this, but I think this should be the average, not among the best.

I forgot a lot of my dreams from last night. I'm starting to get lazy about jounrnalling I'm afraid. Anyway, here's what I remember. I think it was lucid, but even then I'm not 100 sure.

Lucid Jumping

I am standing on top of a tall building, when I apparently become lucid. I look at the long distance down, and decide to jump off and fly. I dive off the building gracefully, and swoop up into the air. I fall towards the ground, I think I am intending to dive down and swoop up at the last minute. But then I become curious about what would happen if I hit the ground while I am dreaming. Since it's a dream, I know I can't get hurt.

When I hit the ground, I apparently bounce up into the air. I fly up backwards and drift to my right, towards some pillars of the building. These look painful, but when I hit them I just pass right through them as though they were a hologram.

The only Lucid dream I remember having since I was about 8 years old.
The morning of Saturday, 28th of January. 2am to 12pm.

The dream started with me hanging out with friends getting cupcakes from a political party expo that we were sitting outside. Sitting on a park kind of table/bench. Going in and stealing trays of muffins/muffin cakes? I say muffin cakes because there was this one large lump of what could have been a tray of muffins. Opposing political party paraded in- JB, a parents friend from years ago was with them. They took people hostage with imaginary equipment/weapons. The leader had an imaginary knife. They walked around to the left side of the expo building that reminded me of a Marai (Like a traditional Maori church). I went over. Said something to the leader. He responded and then all their equipment became real. They chased us and we went underground into my old schools basement. Running into a room, and then a different room. quite dark. Hiding in a basket. I was almost too big for the basket and it nearly broke, but I was wobbling around in it. Someone else came in and said they could hide in there more convincingly. I got out and went to the opposite side of the room. There were piles of clothes, 2/3rds of the room tall. Found a small gap I could crawl through, almost like a small cave under the clothes. Using my phone for light. 2 people come in, one of them the leader. They saw my phone light. I jumped out and surprised them. Leader swinging round his knife. Managed to disarm him. I think the other guy was attacked by the other person from the basket. I somehow remove his head from his body, but he's still alive. Punching his head in the face again and again, not doing much damage (Common dream about having no strength in punching). Leave the underground basement of the school. Walking down the street. 3 Salvation Army people in a Jeep kind of car waiting to pick someone up (relates to my parents being Officers in the Salvation Army). Walked down Layard street on the road. A car swerved to hit me, I jumped onto the footpath and the car managed to fit between a car that was parked on the right side of the road and the footpath (Cars drive on the other side in NZ). Became Lucid. Decided to go see KW. Started rollerblading towards her house. Stop at a house and go to the back, talk to people and begin waking up. Started spinning and listening/remembering a song. Dreaming became solid again. Situation repeated as I was leaving. Saw the cars numberplate was Muse, which is the music I was then remembering/listening to. Acknowledged that and laughed. Continued rollerblading to KW's house thinking that I had to see what being lucid and in control was like. Ended up in a house nothing like hers, went in, her and her dad were happy/celebrating that he was having twins because of some surrogate or something idk. Hugged KW. Went looking for a mirror so I could see what I looked like in a dream. Walked through a door that happened to lead to the Kitchen. It was full with random stuff, creating a small path on the floor. No mirrors. Left the room. Told KW I couldn't find a mirror. Hugged her and found she had a chest that belonged to another friend, AY. Woke up?

I'm sitting in an airplane, heading to another country. We approach the airport, and there seem to be some clouds and trees. Suddenly, I feel the plane lurching downward, thinking we're going to crash. Yet the plane manages to escape within a few metres of the ground. We land slowly, and prepare to get out of the plane.

Flashback. Here, I'm drinking hawthorn nectar, but it's a facade.

Suddenly, I'm back home. It's as if I never boarded the plane.

My dad came to visit from Cali and went shipping with me at b square. He out on a mini dress thing and asked what I though. Adam said he liked it and I said it looked bad. He said it was comfy and bought it. My taillights were out and my dad tried to help me fix it. I went home and heard Leo was back with his mom and that he hated it here and wanted to go back to Russia. I called his moms house and she asked what I thought. I said he should do what makes him happy and that he is probably used to Russia now. She didn't like that and said to call later I knew she didnt want me to talk to him because I would tell him to go back. I called again and she said they left. I ran out of the house. It was snowing and blizzarding. I ran full speed. I had a long ways to go but didn't care. I stopped at some outside mall thing to get a hotdog. Before this I peed a lot in front of some guy on my balcony.*

Date: Tuesday, January 31, 2012

Since I found out about Lucid Dreaming my recall has been terrible. I haven't been able to remember a single dream since Jan 28 when I found Lucid Dreaming. I think it might have to do with my exams and being woken up in the mornings. Hopefully now that i can relax my recall will improve. Hoping the next entry will be about a dream.

Woke up abruptly because of the end of the dream, but it kinda killed the recall....had at least two dreams....don't remember much from the first.

I remember being at some place...like a mall or something with Oneironaut, but I was about to take off. Some black girl in a grey skirt and heels with long curly hair approached me and asked if I saw him. I said yeah, but I don't know where he's at. Apparently she wanted me to hook her up with him, and she was asking how often I saw him. I obviously had a hard time figuring that out, because I don't hang with the guy. Something else happens, and I'm meeting up with Limitless to eat dinner. We're going to some underground hole in the wall type place because both of us were bored. The guy who was serving us was flirting with her hard, and she didn't care. I was just thinking "damn I gotta tell TheUnknown about this".

from here I think i woke up

I'm in what should be the kitchen of that building talking with a bunch of people, and everyone is discussing who's been there the longest. One guy has been there since 06 when we thought he was there longer. They were also asking me if I knew anyone else who could work there. (I think this was sort of like my warehouse job...but I didn't recognize anyone).

Recall get's jacked up here

I'm near a lake, and everything looks cartoonish. There's an alligator chasing some people so fast that the water in that area dries up. All of a sudden a leaf falls out of the sky, and I now have the Tanooki suit. Not much room to run around here, so I decided to run in the improvised road way from the now dry land. I heard the max speed noise and jumped up, and I could feel my tail propelling me up skyward. Down below I could see the water returning in the lake, and the alligator as well. As I floated towards the ground, he was shadowing my path to get his next meal. I stopped my tail, and dropped to the ground immediately. The alligator was in hot pursuit, and I ran in hopes to get enough speed to fly again, but failed. This swamp is looking super realistic now, and the water is so murky....."shit, he may be in there". I backed off and kept heading around it. There were all these the trees were covered with webbing and had banana spiders all in them. Every web I broke, had then crawling upwards into the tree tops. It's too silly to turn around now, but dang....there's no telling if any of these other spiders are nonvenomous. I saw a really big green one and I didn't know what it was....then a big red one. Then the trees started looking like spiders themselves. "REALLY!?" I woke myself up.
