    1. 4/23/2013 -Russia

      by , 04-25-2013 at 10:39 PM
      The dream starts out in a creepy abandoned building. I think I was with my dad. We leave and are out in the middle of a brown, wet, grassy field. I say to my dad we are in Russia due to the terrain. We walk a bit and see a tractor. We walk closer and see it is a steam engine, and somehow my dad climbed on it, pretending to get run over. Then a new tractor pulled near us and the driver helped my dad get unstuck. My dad asked him if he could drive the steam engine backwards, but the farmer replied they hadn't installed the lever yet.
      As they were chatting I sneaked around the grain bins to pee. They followed me, so I didn't. Later my dad's cousin and son came over and we all got into the car and left. We were on a large freeway with many overpasses above us. Later the highway became elevated above the city. We drove along an artificial coast, and skyscrapers on the other side. We pull over and my dad's cousin's son (second cousin?) went swimming. We had to go so he put a shirt on.
      Later near the beach I was with my chemistry class. We found a minecraft nether portal, and were examining it. We found that every time someone would go through the air temperature would decrease slightly.

    2. Where's The Doctor?

      by , 04-25-2013 at 10:32 PM (Xanous' Dream Journal)
      #170 - 4:16AM - WILD

      I decide to go for MILD this time but I have a hard time getting comfortable and end up on my left side. I'm dealing with some insomnia so I decide WILD might be better. The last time I check the clock, it's getting close to 4AM. I still feel wakeful with racing thoughts as I focus on my face and back of neck so I turn on the irrational part of my brain to avoid thought. I think of random nonsensical words and phrases and soon they come to my mind without any effort. I begin to seen random images and soon I feel myself in a deep trance while maintaining consciousness.

      I suddenly feel jostled as if my wife is turning over in bed or getting up. I feel the vibrations now but wonder if she is going to ruin it for me. I concentrate on the back of my neck and the vibrations get stronger. I hear some sound like she is walking in the room and going around to the right side of the bed for the bathroom. Then, she says something to me. I don't quite understand the words but I am becoming annoyed that she is unwittingly sabotaging my WILD. She keeps blabbing away and I am considering waking myself to tell her to stop but I remember this is a common dream sign during the early stages of WILD and I consider the possibility that none of this is really havening. At that moment I hear my wife snoring on my left side and I now know this voice is a dream character.

      The vibrations intensify and I transition out. When I am standing I see a figure in the dark directly in front of me. I become startled and I instinctively throw a right hook to the face of this DC. I pull back at the last instant as I realize this might be my wife. I feel my hand softly but forcefully make contact with flesh. For a brief second I cringe at the thought that I may have just attacked my wife in waking life. But no, I remind myself that I am dreaming. Without waisting any time the figure turns darker than night and takes a more shadowy, demonic and feline shape. The entity has an appearance like Katz but more muscular and realistic and dark. It takes hold of both my arms and crosses them over my chest so that I cannot swing at it again. I am forced hard on the bed with this entity pressing on top of me and I fall victim to true sleep paralysis. I try to take control of the situation and yell, "You better leave me alone. Get out of here right now!" It doesn't respond. I see red glowing eyes mocking me. Then I think of the only help I can call on. I begin to say, "I comma...." My voice gets stuck in my throat. (typical for SP) I try again forcing each word. My voice is a gasping whisper, "I command you...In the name of Jeeee... In the name of...JESUS." In that instant the weight is lifted and the presence is gone... or at least held at bay.

      I am a little scared to transition again so I wait awhile and begin to spin. I feel myself rotating faster and faster. The feeling is somehow comforting and safe. At some point I feel my central axis shifting and find myself standing, then lying down, then standing again, all while spinning. Then, I blindly phase out through the bedroom door and push onward until I think I'm outside. I look around and see that I am still in the bedroom. I try falling backward through the wall and circle around through the door. I don't feel like I'm getting anywhere.

      Then I am back in bed and I begin to see something bright. It looks like just a chunk of vision but it looks like our hardwood flooring. I feel like my physical eyes have opened and I close them. I see the dark line of my eyelids close over but I maintain the visual on the floor. I feel like I am seeing through my eyelids now. I move forward.

      I am now in the living room but its dark again. I flip a light switch but nothing happens. I remember the demon and become frightened again. I can feel the presence of it in the dark kitchen. I look around and see the rest of the house is lit as it would be at this time of night which always adds to the realism. I say to the demon, "I'm going to kick your ass!" I start thinking that I should not have said that and I start running backward to the front door. I distantly realize that I have never ran backwards in a dream and the feeling is slow and awkward but I want to keep an eye on that demon. I am afraid I will be attacked or held back. When I reach the door I yell again, "Ill kick your ass if you follow me!" I hurriedly step outside and close the door. Safe.

      I look around the neighborhood. There is no light but star light and the stars are uniformly spread across the night sky in a dotted grid of purplish blue LEDs. It's beautiful in a dark and dreary sort of way. I gasp and let out a ,"Wooow." I think of trying to fly to a star but like that one dream I feel this dream is still a little too unstable. Then, I remember my original task and walk out into the street. I call out, "Doctor? Doctor Who?" My voice is strong and loud now and I find this comforting. I am looking for an intelligent DC and I want it to be The Doctor.

      I see a parked truck at the neighbor's and look in the back for the TARDIS but it is too dark. Now, there is a bright street light and nothing but void beyond the light's glow radius. Several times the darkness takes my vision but I bring the dream back by looking at my hands. I rub them and feel the asphalt. The sensation is surprisingly realistic as usual. As I do all of this I continue to yell for The Doctor to come.

      This waiting is hard as I really have to focus to keep the dream together. I wander a little down the street to keep the dream flowing and stay somewhat active. Soon I see the headlights of two cars coming my direction out of the void. They park haphazardly around me and I begin visualizing the doctors face as people get out of the cars. My seems to be unstable and blurry but I see two women and two men. There may have been a fifth person but I cant tell. One woman looks like Bob's wife, Linda, and the other looks and older, heavier version of Sally Field. I didn't realize this until after I woke up but one man looks exactly like a version of The Master"
      thoughts on forum-versions_of_the_master.jpg
      and the other guy stood farther back in the darkness but he was tall and slender like The 10th Doctor.

      I ask Linda, "Where's Doctor Who?"
      She looks confused, "who?"
      I clarify, "I mean The Doctor. Where is The Doctor?"
      She shakes her head.
      "You don't know what I'm talking about do you? No? Of course not." I roll my eyes.

      I feel the dream fade and I grab her arm to stabilize. Then, all the DCs become very animated and start talking to excitedly to each other all at once. The conversation was very fast and seemed intelligent. I tried following but only understood bits and pieces that I can not longer remember. l speak over them all, "I want to talk to the most intelligent dream character." They don't respond. They just keep talking to each other and the noise begins to sound like a crowd of people. I am annoyed but also amused. I say with a smile, "This was supposed to be a simple thing but now I have all these multiple personalties in my head!" I raise my hands in the air in aggravation.

      Suddenly, the "Sally" one stands out the most and I pull her away from the group. "I want the most intelligent dream character. Is that you?"
      She nods "yes" but her eyes stay fixed on the group like shes still following the conversation.
      I beg her, "Please talk to me."
      She calmly replies, "In a minute."
      "No. I don't have much time." I know I will wake up soon.
      She looks at me now. "OK. Ill talk to you."
      I forget my original questions and pause for a moment. Then I think of the nightmarish transition earlier. "Why did I have that horrible image earlier?"
      She automatically and quickly replies. "Because of your background history."
      I pause and think this over but the dream starts to fade. I take her in a hug for stability and let the others fade out though I can still hear them like in a tin can far away someplace.
      It is dark but I can feel her next to me. We continue our conversation in the void as I speak into her ear.
      "OK, That makes a lot of sense but what is it?"
      There's a brief silence as if she is thinking it over then, "It's your mobile imaging..."
      I feel like the DC is breaking down to gibberish now but I continue anyway. "My mobile imaging?"
      "...unfolded."
      "My mobile imaging unfolded?"
      She replies with a flat, "Yes."
      I start to ask what she means but I want to remember this so bad. I repeat the phrase over in my mind. I have thoughts that I might forget the first parts of the dream and I unintentionally wake myself up.


      The "background history" comment makes a lot of sense to me but the "mobile imaging unfolded" seems a little abstract. What I take from her response is that I sometimes get these bedside demonic entities from my radical evangelical religious background coupled with childhood fears. My subconscious mind merely manifests these things into being when I feel confused that my wife or some other person is in the room with me. Basically in short, It was just a figment of my imagination. Nothing more nothing less. Definitely not spiritual warfare.

    3. Dreamwalker Chronicles - First trial

      by , 04-25-2013 at 10:09 PM (My Lucid Dreams)
      Finally ! I Finally tried to dreamwalk ! Here' s my very first Dreamwalking trial :


      Tensō


      Lucidity: 9/10
      Control: 7/10
      Vivacity: 8/10


      I WILDed two times before that, this is the following of the second lucid I had this night.

      I wake up from a lucid and automatically DEILD. At one point, after closing my eyes for around two seconds, I give up on DEILDing, I just turn around to observe the moon...s. There are three huge red moons, kinda like that :
      https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/i...OcSd3NvOHznrmE

      After a while I stopped being amazed and decide to check reality. It doesn' t work. Screw reality checks, that ain' t possible. It's a dream. I get up and go out of my room. It' s dark. Too dark. I feel the dream fading, like sand slipping out of my hands. My sister comes; she starts making me loose my lucidity. Great. I can' t beat her up or I' ll get back in reality, so I rub my hands harder and harder doing my best to stay calm. As soon as I feel like I got my stability back, I rush to the light switch and light the room up. I renounce to the urge of destroying my sister and get out as fast as I can.

      It' s raining. The night gets less dark and some kids come up to me and tell me something I don' t remember.
      I try a standing front flip, I land like I do in real life : squatting. Oh well.
      Wait, there' s something I wanted to do ... ah ! that' s right.
      I get away from the pool and start shouting "Oneir --" nah, that' s not it.
      So I start again doing the signs I chose for that technique and scream " Oneiros - TENSO" (tenso' s "transfer in Japanese), I fall on one knee and do the sign at the right upper corner of that photo :

      http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PtPyNxCbYk.../Hand+sign.bmp

      "Miaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggg gggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
      Mia being how we' ll call my girlfriend ( whose dream I chose to walk in )
      Looked like I wanted to become a super sayan.
      I don' t see any bright light like I wanted, so when I' m done screaming I do a front flip to give the dream another reason to change scenery. As I flip I see the kids looking at me like I' m crazy. I guess they got a good reason.

      I land in a park. I see some random kids from school. No Mia. I feel like I' ll wake up soon. I give myself no more than 20 seconds. I hurry and run up to a girl. I need to find her. I need her to see me, I need to wake her up so she remembers that. I turn that girl around. It' s not her. I was gonna ask her where Mia was
      but I woke up before I could say anything.
      __________________________________________________ ____________________________________

      So here it was, my first dreamwalking trial.
      Anyways, for some reasons I didn' t feel like this was "just" a dream, I felt like it was another reality, where time is even more important than in real life.

    4. Dream Fragments

      by , 04-25-2013 at 09:14 PM
      Since my lucid dream I haven't really been able to remember my dreams properly anymore. I don't know if that is because I forcefully wake up for the WILD or if I just wake up at the wrong time. Anyway, with some effort I managed to remember some fragments of dreams I had yesterday.

      Fragment 1:

      I'm at my university in Delft, The Netherlands, and there is a guy there who teaches wing chun kung fu nearby. I tell him that my father is currently following wing chun classes and all of a sudden, this guy starts fighting me. It doesn't hurt and I think he's trying to show me the power of kung fu to convince me to start learning it as well. I can't stop his attacks and I can't remember what happened next.

      Fragment 2:

      I'm in a public transportation bus and I apparently know the driver. His destination will change as soon as he reaches his last stop, so I decide to ride the bus all the way there, because I would need this bus in the other direction anyway. Next thing I remember is that we're at a bus stop and the driver doesn't drive away at my request, because apparently a bag full of my stuff is outside on the sidewalk. I spot a friend of mine, Yan Fai, and ask him to hand me the bag. Apparently he's a smartass in my dream, because he takes the stuff out of the bag and literally only hands me the bag, whilst laughing. I laugh with him and tell him to hand me the bag with all the stuff in it. So he does and I ask him why he doesn't just ride the bus, seeming he's walking in the same direction the bus is going anyway. He refuses and keeps on walking. My memory of the dream ends here.

      Fragment 3:

      I'm in my room, and I downloaded something onto my laptop, and saved it on my desktop, something I never do. Apparently it's not something I want anyone to see, especially not anyone at home. Still my screen is facing the open door of my bedroom, and my little sister walks in and asks what those two things are on my laptop. I quickly respond woth something, I can't remember what, and I feel as if I'm busted, yet not completely. The icons of the data I downloaded are both pink and have manga characters on them I think. That's all I remember.

      These were the three fragments I could remember, I wish I could have remembered more. Tonight I will definitely succeed!
    5. Stole friend's alcohol

      by , 04-25-2013 at 09:04 PM
      Total sleep time: 8 hrs

      After 3 nights of lucid marathon, it seems like my body needed to run the restore program so I got into very deep sleep tonight. I didn't wake up naturally or if I did I was most likely unconscious. It felt like I had spent more time in NREM sleep. When my WBTB alarm rang, I was so deeply asleep, I was wondering what the hell is going on. Decided I would rather sleep. Anyways, felt the sleep was very restorative. Here are some fragments I could recall.

      Fragment1: An elevator and the shaft. I almost fall there, but luckily for me it is filled with junk so if I were to fall at least I wouldn't hurt myself. A girl from school that we used to mock appears near the elevator and reminds me of things we have done to her, but those things never happened in real life.

      Dream2: I am in the place of a friend1, who now lives with his sister. On the TV screen is some version of an old favorite game of mine. The sister tells me it's a different game. I must leave the apartment and take some stuff which is mine. In a plastic bag with my two bottles they have put newspapers so that I throw the trash on my way out. I don't like their attitude so once I leave their apartment I take out all the newspaper trash from the bag and make a nice heap in front of their door.

      The plastic bag is actually theirs and not mine? I take some stuff that belongs to his sister and his bottle of initially vodka, then white wine! I head home, but know my friend1 will be after me to get back his stuff. On my way home I see another friend who is hanging out with some young problem individuals. I am trying to run but I am so slow. Someone then pushes me from behind, so I actually speed a bit. I think it is my friend1 but it is some random DC with yellow jogging outfit. I soon see my friend1 is already on the street in front of me, he is not happy about the whole situation.

      Lol, I really have to stop dream stealing things!

      Fragment3: This was a very cool dream where I was communicating with a dog. Unfortunately, I don't remember much of it, just the feeling of being fascinated.

    6. 25th Apr 2013 Fragments

      by , 04-25-2013 at 09:01 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Not much recall again, probably because again got to sleep later than usual.

      Dream 1(fragments):

      I was playing some RTS game and there was some kind of zoo.

      Dream 2(fragments):

      There was some platformer game that later turned into 3D maze with brown walls and then there was boss fight in some kind of metallic area.
    7. Melatonin Experiment

      by , 04-25-2013 at 04:03 PM (Raven's Roost)
      I tried to go to bed early last night in an attempt to WBTB. I took melatonin at 10:30PM and I got in bed at 11:30 with the intention of WBTB at 4:30, however yesterday was really nice out so everyone in my college decided to go party and scream in the streets. I mean SCREAM. It was the most frustrating thing ever, and I wished death upon more than one of them. They finally quieted down around 1:45AM, and by then I had to push back my wake up time to make sure I would be in the middle of REM sleep.

      I had some average dreams, and when my WBTB alarm when off at 6:00AM, it was just too late. My dorm room is right on the road so all the trucks and cars were loudly whizzing by and I couldn't focus. Fell asleep for another hour or so, and had vivid dreams but didn't remember most of them...

      Here are the fragments:

      Fragment 1

      The following are from my phone, I have no real recollection of writing this or dreaming it:

      • Samuel L Jackson
      • Gandalf
      • Keeping incest rates down (what the actual fuck?)
      • Prometheus II (Evidently I was in another sci fi dream?)
      • Lady trapped.


      NO idea what any of that means.

      Fragment 2

      I am with my dad and sisters and we go to my step-mother's new house. We are having a family get together and everyone is there. I eat with my grand parents on the patio, and kids are running around their fenced in yard.

    8. Electric

      by , 04-25-2013 at 03:47 PM
      Sitting on the porch of an old cabin, there are others here. They feel comfortable, normal, familiar. I don't see their faces, but I know they're there and they're friends.

      The paint chips from the cabin, it once was white and now a dull chipped grey. I have Zilla on my lap (my dog) we're peaceful looking off into the mountains.

      The sun is setting over the mountains, a nice combination of colours ranging from yellow to orange to pink to red.

      Off into the distance I see a light blue emitting from just behind the mountains. I hear gasps of panic behind me. Then a loud crashing follows the now dark blue sphere engulfing the mountain side.

      I get nervous, Then realize an electrical bomb was set off.

      Everyone starts running, I start running. I make it off the porch and just behind the cabin before I'm in another scenery. Everyone is running into the ocean.

      I feel sand crunching beneath my feet. The water rushes in

      I'm electrocuted and have this odd feeling that we're all irradiated.

      Oh yeah, and dead.

      First time I've died by being electrocuted.
    9. Under Construction

      by , 04-25-2013 at 03:47 PM
      The good news for this LD is that the light switches worked great! The bad news is that my prospective memory wasn't the best and my DC summons didn't work like they should, but I had fun trying. Some more focused mental prep and reminding myself of my goals would have helped, I think, so I'll just blame the short WBTB.

      Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

      Lucid #89: Under Construction

      I'm walking down a hall in my office with my friend "Leroy" and one other guy. The hallway is dimly lit and even though we're far from any windows, somehow I know that it's night outside. We're looking for some room that we can use to host a remote meeting that's scheduled to start in a few minutes.

      The door at the end of the hall has been replaced with a thick sheet of plastic and the entire area looks like it's under construction. I think, "How do I know that this isn't a dream?" and
      I become lucid. I run my fingers over the wall, and it feels just like the walls at the office. "[Leroy], I'm having a lucid dream." Leroy doesn't respond and just stares robotically ahead. I continue to mutter about how I'm dreaming, but the target audience is really just me -- Leroy seems to have checked out.

      We reach the end of the hall and I phase through the plastic into the next room, which should be a large, windowed room of cubicles, adjoining offices and meeting rooms. The windows are there but all of the furniture is missing and the room is incredibly dark. I reach for a switch on the wall without looking, knowing that it will be there, and flip it. The lights come on and I watch as the room quickly populates itself with gym equipment! I see a treadmill, a couple of stationary bikes, and a weight tree with 45-pound plates appear. I stare at the weight tree for a moment, and the image wavers self-consciously, forming odd little rectangles and finally disappearing entirely.

      I decide to "give the room a moment", and look over my right shoulder at the wall for a few seconds and then look back. The room is still mostly the same but now there are five or six arcade-style redemption games arranged back to back in a circle in the middle. (The sort of ticket-winning games that you might find at Chuck E. Cheese's.) I take a quick lap around the games to size them up. During the lap I notice that Leroy is still standing by the room entrance and still seems unresponsive, so I don't worry too much about him.

      I have the nagging sense that I'm supposed to be doing something but I can't remember what it is. I try to think of the tasks that I had planned but nothing comes to mind, not Task of the Year or Task of the Month. I remember talking with NewArtemis about trying to see whether her DC could shapeshift the way that she can in dreams, so I attempt a handshake summon, averting my eyes and extending my right hand. I do it incorrectly, though, more asking for her to show up rather than expecting that she will. Nothing happens for a while and at the end I rather pathetically say, "[NewArtemis], don't leave me hanging!"

      Now I've become fixated on summoning so I decide to try getting Xanous to join the scene. Again I do the handshake summon, but the result's the same. I think of shapeshifting again and realize that Xanous can do this too. For some reason I remember that he uses the term "blutbad" in conjunction with shapeshifting so I randomly blurt out "Blutbad!" like that's going to help somehow. No idea what that was all about, but it doesn't work!

      Edit: I remembered one more part of the dream. I give up on the summoning for a moment and try speaking directly to the dream. "Show me something important!" Nothing happens, though, and I try this twice more before giving up.

      Amazingly, the thought of simply phasing through the walls and flying off into the night doesn't occur to me. I turn my attention to the redemption games, hoping that this could be fun and might even reanimate Leroy. I stand in front of one machine that's about 6 feet high and has a joystick on the front and a tall, tapering tower of lights inside its case. The lights are illuminated in a wave that moves repeatedly from top to bottom. I place my hand on the joystick, noting the little red button on top, and the dream starts to fade. I feel it coming and ready myself for DEILD, but
      when I emerge from the dream I'm too awake to go back in.

    10. Post 2013 Visits To DreamWorld Castles/Grounds Here

      by , 04-25-2013 at 12:49 PM (levi's lucid dream journal)
      well i made it to the castle in a non lucid dream. parts of it was hazy but im sure its safe to say i made it. i started out walking along the castle wall berier i looked at the outline of the wall and it surrounded the castle in a circle or oval shape i didnt get a good look at the castle but it was there. also there were stairs and ladders in certen spots on the inward side of the wall. there were some stairs in the middle of it too that led to some rooms or an under ground passage or portals to the inside of the castle not sure which one though. i was on my way to a meeting or something and after walking the path on top of the wall i went down a set of stairs that went into the wall. once i got to the bottom i dont remember what happend but i apeared in a castle room. it looked like a modern day class room sort of. although there were no desks just some circle and sqaur tables with chairs. there were book shelves against a stone wall with posters or paintings on it. the floor had white tile and the lighting was dim other then that i dont remember what els was around. i saw a lady that looked like my older sister bloned hair with glasses. im not sure if it was her or not. she was there to tell my dream past and dream future so to speak, with a deck of cards. the cards were holographic and the pictures moved. i couldnt make them out very well though. i dont remember much after that exept that she pulled out a card that folded out into a map of an island and said we are here. lol well that was my short visit to the dwa castle. i will try when lucid to see where those stairs do lead to and/or explore more of the castle i will also try to meet some cheracters that dont seem or look like some one i know.

    11. Harry Potter/Spell casting Dream

      by , 04-25-2013 at 11:57 AM
      So last night I was trying to have another WBTB WILD, but my alarm didn't go off so tonight will have to do instead.. But anyway, I can recall 4 vivid dreams from last night. This one was me outside my house and I as talking to my brother in his room upstairs through the window, and then he was like "oh shit", And I'm like "What?" And then this like sorcerer came out the ground a few metres in front of me and summoned this huge purple and black/grey ball of sort of I don't know, magic haha But I jsut remember feeling like oh shit this spell is going to kill us. So I used a spell called something close to "Shining light" Or "Shining beam" or something, which was this HUGE area effect yellow blast of energy that kills anything bad in the area, but took like a TON of my magic capability. And once we got rid of that sorcerer. I was like, wait a second, I'm freaking dreaming! And I became lucid, And it was really juicy, like it was so vivid that I felt like the dream was really stable, so I was like right I'm going to do some BEAST things here So I thought I'd start by looking at my hands, they were blurry like so much, then I did my other reality check which is push my hand through my other hands palm, but it wouldn't go through, instead my hands were like SO blurry I was SO happy I attained lucidity after a failed WILD anyway And then I was like alright I'm going to fly, So I jumped up and sort of floated around a little, then my lucidity started to fade alot, and I tried rubbing my hands together which helped a little, but I just lost my lucidity and that point. Then I woke up, went back to sleep, and entered the same dream without being lucid, and I was flying around with my brother Liam, and he was like "Oh my god is this the tunnel that you were telling me about?" (I don't get that but yeah ) and I was like "Yeah" and we were flying through this tunnel at night and it looked really awesome, then we went down this like tunnel and sort of crash landed haha, we were in the really dark room. And there was a rat there and I tried to use "Avada Kadavera" (The spell from HP) on it, but the green energy from the wand would come out but not the spell. And then I was arguing with Liam about using an illegal spell. Then we got back inside after being trapped in the room for a while. And my Mom and Dad were like "Where's your new shirt?" (They had bought me a really nice shirt that was white/Orange checkered the day before) and I was like "Oh shit it must be in the tunnel still" and then dream ended.
    12. Work Kept Us Apart on New Year's Eve / Do Not Redesign Illogical Design If In Use

      April 24
      To bed around 10pm

      Around 3am headache continues from evening - woke up with headache

      In my dream my husband and I were working n same company on same project. It was New Year's Eve, and my husband was away on a business trip. I got to see him though through video conference at company party. I could see him but he could not see me. I was a bit sad. (Side note: This makes sense because my husband had a work conference call in the evening, so work infringed on family time.)

      Same dream different scene? there was an improper design to our system, where something that should be in one table was in two for older data, but not for newer, and I had at first suggested that this be fixed. But then when we established that some functionality was actively using accessing these tables,we discovered that this could not be fixed. Someone I actually collaborate with but in different role, nickname Bow Tie, was trying to accommodate this change, and then found out that it could not be done, but then forgot, but then got reminded. I explained it further, and he remembered. (This makes a bit of sense in that we now have some things that are illogical at work but are in use, so this could be a warning that fixing them may not be a good idea? Or maybe just my mind realizes the difficulty of fixing things while in use, and questions whether it is worth the risk of breaking things even more.)

      There was more to this dream. It was long, vivid and convoluted. What does not make sense to me is why my mind insisted these two are part of the same dream - they appear separate.)
    13. 25th Apr 2013 Short lucid and some non-lucid fragments

      by , 04-25-2013 at 11:42 AM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream recall from today's naps.

      Nap #1(fragment):

      I am walking around my room and shortly i feel an familiar feeling, like the feeling that i get when i become lucid, i decide to rub hands and indeed, the same feeling. But before i can do anything, dream fades out and i wake up. I attempt to DEILD but it seems like it's the end of the REM.

      Nap #2(fragments):

      I was in the helicopter and i was preparing to drop onto the roof of the tall building and do an assault operation, there was a pool and i dropped onto the garbage platform on it. I jumped around a few more platforms as they went down and pool looked to be very deep. In the end i failed one of the jumps and dropped into the pool. It was apparently very shallow and suddenly i was indoors and both the scene AND the storyline changed and i was just talking with some people and getting out of the pool.
      Later on i was at home and was talking to mom about something, it involved menu which used icons from AI War for some reason.
      And after that there was scene in some indoors area with yellow walls. There was a woman in black with an black hole generator device of some kind, which looked like three black rings that rotate randomly, as an part of the arm. She also had an companion which looked very stupid but was pretty smart. There was an talk between them and somebody else and after it dream ended.
    14. Three Short WILDs

      by , 04-25-2013 at 08:48 AM (Masonc1's TF-Filled Dream Journal)
      4/22/13
      I got into bed and just decided to go through my usual process for WILD instead of turning off completely. There are a lot of naps I take where I just practice going to sleep instead of practicing WILD. This time, I just went with my old strategy of not talking to myself and actively reminding myself not to talk to myself without using any words.

      So I go to bed laying down on my stomach in a very comfortable position. HI starts up extremely fast. Or maybe I missed it. I began to feel a little funny and it wasn't SP. The lower half of my body begins to lift off the bed with a sensation that felt exactly like the times I had inflated myself before. I contemplate going with that, but I'm still not anchored into the dream and I didn't want to do anything that was going to interfere while I could still feel my real body. I tried to move my hand and it didn't work, so I could tell the dream wasn't quite ready.

      I try to replace the floating sensation because there's an association with inflation and waking up in me right now. (I'm trying to remove this, because I do like the sensation otherwise.) The dark dream like state fills with water and it has a very refreshing feeling. I'm content floating in it, but I didn't really get rid of the inflated feeling. The water has the pattern of beach waves, and I get tossed forward and backward gently, floating halfway in the water. I don't offer any resistance to it.

      I take my hand out of the water to see what would happen, and some bubbles appeared. I laughed, because I didn't have to think about the bubbles for any to come. The subconscious expectation has such a power that I can barely wait to start messing with it. A wave knocks over my head and I'm breathing underwater for a moment. I think about how dangerous this would be if I couldn't choke in real life.

      4/23/13
      I took another WILD nap today and had basically the exact same dream. The only difference, was that at the beginning, instead of avoiding inflation I tried to embrace it. I remembered that if I could initiate flight I would get some points for the LC. I didn't really start the transformation (that I could see, but I felt a little different) but I at least started floating more definitely than last night.
      The dream still filled with water despite me not going for that this time, so it really seems like a huge copy.
      I was going to try getting out of bed when my phone rang.

      4/24/13
      So I waited until the usual time before taking a nap again. I did more or less the same thing, but saw a bit less HI. I was planning on summoning the persona of someone I knew.
      The same as the last two nights, I had a feeling of being lifted off the bed. The difference was that the previous two nights, it felt like I was being hoisted upwards by myself (A consequence of associating the lift with inflation), but this time it really only felt like my bed wasn't there. This was how my mind was presenting sleep paralysis onset, so I waited for sleep paralysis this time. Once the floating sensation transitioned to sleep paralysis, I did a DEILD roll and entered a complete dream version of my room at night.
      I thought about summoning that dream character, but I didn't get very far before it destabilized. I don't remember what went wrong here, but I probably didn't strengthen the dream vividness enough.
    15. YuGiOh cards to rebuild after the apocolypse.

      by , 04-25-2013 at 01:53 AM (Lucid Time!)
      It all began with me making my way through the woods. I cannot entirely remember what was happening but it had something to do with looking for a small package in the woods. I found it eventually.
      I began making my way back to wherever I had come from. I fell and tripped on a vine that was covered in thorns, and cut my ankle pretty bad.
      Eventually, I made my way out of the forest. There was a large desert opening out in front of me. About a quarter mile into the desert there was a small sandstone outcropping with (get this) a submarine on it.
      The submarine was old and rusted, with holes in the hull as though it had been there for years. It was leaning into the rocky outcropping with the tail end going up at roughly a thirty degree angle.
      The entire thing was in a huge desert or salt flat, surrounded by woodland.
      I made my way inside the submarine, into a large open room inside the submarine. The story came into my mind. This was taking place after an apocalypse and some of the last human survivors used this submarine as a city to live out of. Because the submarine was so old, people had rebuilt parts of it using scrap metal.
      Because the submarine was on a slant, the floor had to be built in steps to remain level.
      It started raining outside, and because of the holes in the hull, it was difficult to find a place that was dry. At the same time, some culinary students were using the submarine to hold a banquet, and I was having difficulty finding a seat that would get me out of the rain.
      I eventually settled on a set near the kitchen. This part of the submarine had been rebuilt using scrap metal and was warm from all of the stoves and ovens that were deeper inside.
      After I had eaten, I went back outside. The rain had stopped. Just outside the submarine, and down the rocky outcropping my cousins were there, and had set up a card playing table.
      We were all playing YuGiOh, (I don't even like YuGiOh) and I sat down to play with them. My dad was there and he told me that (enter dream logic) my YuGiOh cards held a mystical key to rebuilding the earth after the apocalypse.
      Just as he told me that, someone up on the submarine came out onto a scrap metal balcony and yelled that there was a fire, and that the nuclear reactor on the submarine would go critical and explode.
      I started running.
      I continually looked over my shoulder. I could see the other people who had lived in the submarine who were evacuating on cars and pickup trucks made out of scrap metal. The fire was spreading rather quickly, despite there being nothing flammable on the submarine.
      I realized I had forgotten my YuGiOh cards. (Remember these were somehow important for rebuilding after the apocalypse.) I saw my dad running after me, only about 100 feet behind me.
      The entire submarine was engulfed in flames by now. I could only wonder how big the blast would be, and how much longer before the blast would happen.
      Boom!
      A massive (yet beautiful and realistic, for a dream) nuclear explosion. A blast wave of sand rippled through the ground. I was still running, and watching as the wave got closer. When it hit, I simply ducked down and pulled the hood from my jacket over my head.
      I stood up. There was a hip-deep dust cloud as far as I could see in every direction. The nuclear blast was now a thin column of smoke, distant in the sky. I looked around.
      My father stood up, Triumphantly holding the YuGiOh cards. I woke up.


      I want to come back and edit this, explain it a little more clearly. I remembered most of all of the important details for this dream, but I just think that the wording for some parts of this DJ entry is rubbing me the wrong way.
