    1. Wtf ld??

      by , 04-27-2014 at 06:52 AM
      Shitty situation/ nightmare that turns into an LD:

      I was drinking beer with some friends at a restaurant when they take off right when my food arrives. I get a to go box, wrap my food up and go to the front to check out. I had two beers and one plate of food and this lady tries to charge me $70. I look at the bill and I get charged for my order, one of my friends order, and a separate charge for insulting the waiter (I really did). I tell her that's bullshit and I'm not paying. I try to walk out and she attempts to shut the front door and lock me in. I grab the door as she's shutting it and dip out. I start running because I thought she was calling the cops. After running a block or so I was thinking, ok this is ridiculous. This isn't real. I don't even do an RC, I just take off flying forward.

      I'm flying insanely fast in between these rows of telephone poles which seem to never end. I try to fly out from in between these poles but I fear slamming into them. I remember that they're not even really there so I crash into one on my left and phase through it and notice the white light shining to show I was phasing through it (Any time I phase through something it shines white light). As I continue to fly I arrive in an empty city made of glass buildings. There are no streets or anything else on the ground except grass. I wanted to practice shooting lightning out of my hands so I land on top of of one of the buildings. The top of the building is something like a 5 by 5 perfect square divided by individual squares. The glass square I land on starts to shatter so I jump, and it's like a 50 or 60 foot drop. When I land there's no impact which I was pretty happy about. I see an opening in one of the buildings and walk inside. After going down a ramp I end up in an office surrounded by individual rooms with all the doors and walls being glass. A portly man with glasses is working in a room so I try to shoot him with lightning. Nothing happens. I look at my right hand and flex my forearm. A blue light materializes in my palm and I extend my arm and push out about a yards worth of lightning out. After doing this with both hands multiple times I can't extend the length or width of the lightning. All of the sudden a monk walks down the ramp into the office, like bald head, orange robe, the whole nine. He shoots lightning out of his hand about the same distance I can (I should have tripped since a DC had powers, something I'm really concerned about and should've been more concerned about), but just more condensed. I should have asked him what he was or what he represented but I just kept trying to get my lightning blast bigger. Out of nowhere this iguana comes down the ramp into the office and gets on this monks shoulder. For no reason the scene transports me to a computer and I slip into non-lucidity and like this fucking iguana's post on Facebook then wake up. These LDs are getting ridiculous.

      I was watching a documentary or show on Navy sailors committing suicide by drowning themselves when the ship would start to sink. They would tie themselves down to something and wait for the water to rise. I was suddenly on a ship while there was a thunderstorm going on. There were people shooting at us and a teammate was trying to save a downed man. I was crouching behind cover yelling at the guy to run. There were enemies above us on a catwalk. I shot at a few of them while my teammate tried saving the other guy.

      Dream
      Lucidity


      I had gone back to the prison to get or do something. I went to Master Control and C. Sanchez was working there. A few officers were escorting an inmate and he kicks on of them so I jump in to take him down but everyone jumps in also so I can't really do much.The inmate gets up and then starts talking reckless to me so I was about to beat him up but officers start defending him and I even have to slam a black officer to the ground cus he was so aggressive. I leave A building and I'm in the parking lot. I try looking for my car but can't find it. I try not to run because of my shin injuries but do it anyways and nothing hurts. I get past traffic and I'm walking down the street. A girl passes me and I ask for a ride but she says no so I keep walking back to my house. I think I might be dreaming and count my fingers.
      Everything starts feeling more real and I count 10 fingers on one hand. I start running and, remembering a hint to increase lucidity a guy on the forums gave me, slap my hands together. I then rub them and yell "Increase lucidity!" and everything becomes more clear. As I walked I looked at the ground and thought of what to do. I thought maybe explore the dream but didn't.
      I lose lucidity and keep walking. I was in Venezuela now and walking on Avenida Victoria. I remember seeing my multitool on the floor by some trashbins and picking it up.

      Journal Entry Lucid #30 Dream,Lucid, (Comments)
      Background:I meditated before going to sleep. I told myself I could have a LD but it is ok if I don't have one just as long as I could remember my dream. I wasn't as confident since I have slacked for a couple of days.

      Dream fragment 2 time 2:05am-3:32am"":
      I was in my school next to Biological place. I see Elvis as I talk to an old man about the devil. I then see another Elvis.

      I realized it was a dream. I started rubbing my hands and it went to the VIOD again! I said not this time. I started to swing my arms back and forth and I started to will a scene. I didn't know what I was going to get though. I then lifted my hands with rage and I see a rainbow screen like the one you get on stations that are not working temporarily. I am in my room. I thought I might have woken up, before emotions could get to me I did a quick RC. Noseplug and kept on going. My television was turned on. It was as though my eyes were looking through a 90s camera. I see me as a kid and my sister. We were picture perfect. She was wearing a jacket that she once loved. (When I brought it up in real life she remembered the jacket) . I have a camera on my hands. I see me and my sister not caring about the world enjoying life. I envied myself. I then woke up in the dream and lost lucidity. I didn't wake up right away after that so I forgot some details.

    5. "I am Magneto" 4/20/14

      Journal Entry Lucid #29 Dream,Lucid, (Comments)
      Background: I watched X-men first class, ate some food then I meditated before going to sleep. I told myself I could have a LD but it is ok if I don't have one just as long as I could remember my dream. I wasn't as confident since I have slacked for a couple of days.

      Dream fragment 2 time 5:15am-6:40am"":
      Dream was about being in the desert and I am magneto running from Sebastian Shaw. Shaw is having his fun making nukes in the desert. Since dream is long I will shorten it up just for the lucid. So I was in a bar when I was informed that Sebastian has sent some men to go after me. I flew out and levitated next to a car junk yard. I looked down realized that I am flying and concluded

      it was a dream. His gang came in convertibles. I see a car beneath me. I levitated up and I toss it at the convertibles. This was the first time I levitated a car but since I didn't think about how difficult it would have been it felt easy. I then started throwing car after car. I then thought why am I wasting my time throwing cars. I landed and got inside a sports car. I looked around environment changed a bit. I am now in the heart of the desert, no other cars around me but one. I didn't care, it looked cool when I drove off. I didn't need keys for the car to go too. It started up and I went as fast as I can. I look at back mirror and I see the trial of dust I am leaving. I kept on driving. I looked down for maybe a second looking at the car seating. I get out and I am inside my neighborhood. I decide to fly again. I realized that the environment was getting too bright. The clouds were shining and the sun was half the sky. I started to fly fast around neighborhood. I see the objects as elongated images before I reach them. It was trippy. Environment still getting brighter, I though I might wake up. I then charged at the sun as a challenge. I thought you can't wake me up. I flew faster and faster and everything started getting blurry and I woke up. I guess that is what I get.

      I Challenge You to a Game of Ping-Pong!....After We Clean This Table (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I love how I wanted to play ping-pong instead of trying to extract some information from my mind for something to apply to waking life. But nope, spent the whole dream trying to clean a table to play ping-pong, only for someone to intervene and stop the whole endeavor.

      I believe I’m wearing a yellow sweater with black horizontal stripes that were probably 2-3 inches tall, and probably had a white dress shirt underneath the sweater since there was a white collar popping out and folded around my neck. I’m also wearing basic blue jeans, and probably brown lace-less shoes as well.

      I’m inside a classroom, and it seems there’s going to be quite some time before class starts, and I’m sitting down by a large rectangular desk that seems to be formatted like a mini Ping-Pong table, but there was a few items that cluttered the area. I challenged someone to play Ping-Pong, and I believe he looked like a classmate I had for Geography Pre-AP/K-level in High School; let’s nickname him “S.”
      “S” accepts the challenge, but we have to clean the table first. I’m frantically trying to remove anything on the table, even if it’s just thrown to the floor. From black backpacks to binders and other small items, we managed to clear the table. Then the next thing was to find some paddles and a few Ping-Pong balls, and as I’m turning to the right side of what’s behind me, I find some paddles and a few Ping-Pong balls near me. I think the balls were levitating, conveniently within my reach, and the same probably goes for the paddles as well.

      I never bothered to question the logic of how they just somehow magically appeared, I just had an insane urge to play Ping-Pong. Unfortunately, just as I was about to initiate a game, it seems an individual that looks like a teacher for the class intervenes, and we immediately stopped what we were doing.


    7. Parody, Trying to Give Lucy Liu the World, Brakes Don't Work, Met a Dinosaur, High School Pep Rally

      Parody About a Commander (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I’m inside a house that’s similar to one I’ve been in waking life, and this dream was probably correlated with the one with Lucy Liu. For some reason, the landlords who were Asian in waking life just seemed coincidental that I would be in this particular house, and have the other dream come at some point.

      I can see the house in full detail, and had a little trouble at times distinguishing if this really is a dream, or waking life. I start getting weird moments where I’m in a different environment talking to a girl wearing a red shirt, and blue jeans. She’s wearing glasses, has blonde hair, and looks a lot like one of the workers I used to interact with. Then I see a 3D model of some old man wearing your generic commander uniform, and he looks a bit like George W. Bush in some way.

      There’s some text scrolling down, and it was some kind of parody for someone, most likely the commander in the still image that the text was on top of. Even though I can’t recall the text word for word, I do know it was very funny to me.

      Trying to Give Lucy Liu the World (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I’m watching two people swimming underwater, and they seem to be looking for something under the massive pile of debris. I seem to have mostly viewed this dream in a spectator point of view through first person perspective looking at two people interacting with each other.

      Sometimes I feel as if there’s a fluctuation in one of the dream character’s form: It’s either the form of Slade from Teen Titans, or myself wearing a red long sleeved shirt with khaki pants.







      The other individual looks like Lucy Liu with her hair tied back, and the male is following her, I guess. There’s not much going on other than them continuing to swim, but then there’s a moment where the male tries to go up to the lady, braces his chest against her back, and starts hugging her while declaring:

      “I can give you the world.”

      She gets herself away from him, and they both continue swimming. I believe at this point, or maybe throughout the dream, I started to crack bad jokes at this Lucy Liu dream character, and I had a strange feeling that I did it to cope with the possibility that we may very well be the only people in existence within the dream; kind of like a post-apocalyptic implication, I guess.

      Brakes Don't Work, Met a Dinosaur, High School Pep Rally (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I’m driving around, and things seem to go just fine for a bit. The usual traffic, stopping and going. Then after a while, I have trouble trying to use the brakes, and I already seemed to have past two red traffic lights. I noticed that there were a few police vehicles dormant in random areas, almost as if they’re trying to meet their quota or something.

      However, despite of being close to them, they didn’t use their sirens at all. Maybe how I perceived what should’ve been a sensation of a vehicle stopping via brakes was messed up, or the cars themselves didn’t really have anyone inside to try and get me for driving past several red traffic lights. The environment seemed to be a fairly dark afternoon, with the clouds covering whatever bright lighting there is above.

      I decided to let go of the gas pedal, and just do whatever was necessary to avoid colliding with other vehicles, which wasn’t a problem at all. I stopped, got out of the vehicle, and the dream seems to have shifted to where I’m not inside a fairly enclosed hallway. It feels like walking through a museum that’s trying to emulate a tropical rainforest setting.

      I see there’s some people looking around, gazing at whatever features this section has. I noticed there’s a huge, and live dinosaur to the right of me. I was shocked for a few seconds, only to have the feeling subside when people seem to be petting it as if it’s no harm at all. It had light brown skin, and seemed to be very long laterally. It had a weird head shape, and I can’t remember the specific name of this kind of dinosaur.

      After passing through this section, I go through an open door with a bright white light, and I’m shifted into an environment that looks like a High School pep rally. I look for some seats by the bleachers inside, and I felt apathetic about being here in the first place. Everything just seemed so pretentious, just like how most pep rallies were conceptualized to me in school in general.

      I can’t really recall what happens next, and I don’t really mind not knowing.

      Navigating Faron Woods with someone (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I’m in an environment that resembles Faron Woods in TLOZ: Twilight Princess, most specifically the area where Wolf Link and Midna go inside the house where the guy who sells lamp oil resides (except the dream wasn’t the dark, twilight version of the area).






      There’s someone that seems to pitch in my navigation through these woods, and it seems he materializes himself somehow, or just came out of nowhere from mid-air, and lands on the floor. He’s wearing a dark gray shirt along with a light gray hoodie, and faded black jeans that has a few chalky areas. He’s has a light brown complexion, and he seems like he knows where we, or at least he needs to go.

    9. Looking for Phil from Hey Arnold

      20.04.2014
      Looking for Phil from Hey Arnold (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I’m looking at a series of buildings, and I presume the environment has a New York City kind of setting to it. I see a vehicle pass by, and immediately stops at a building that seems to be open. There’s a sepia tone overlay in the dream in the initial stages until there’s a dream shift.

      I’m looking at things from first person perspective, and I’m walking with a female that’s my relative in waking life. This looks like a store that sells all sorts of things, and the overall color scheme is kind of dull, and doesn’t really highlight any major features of the store. It seems kind of run down in a few areas, and before we turn right, I glanced over to the area in front of me that looks like where the cashier would be located.

      I see a few items that are levitating, and the first one that attracts me is one that looks like a vanilla milkshake with cherry on top. I believe the female relative was discussing something with me, but I didn’t bother to pay too much attention to her, or maybe what she declared was to prompt me to go to another area of the store.

      We navigating through the area, and I noticed several dream characters that looked like individuals in waking life where I worked. One was a Hispanic man with a black mustache wearing a hair net, and he seems to be operating near a seafood section. The flooring seems to have some subtle leaks of water, and other unknown liquids as well, and there’s pipes that seem to be disconnected, and very loose as well.

      It seems our objective is to find if Phil from Hey Arnold! is still operating this store. I seem to be really into this occurring, and continued to watch the mental projection of myself searching for this individual.






      Our trip abruptly is finished when the female relative told me that he doesn’t seem to be here at all, and even added that he probably died.


    10. Fight Fire with Fire, I'm a Sniper

      Fight Fire with Fire (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I’m navigating back and forth between two settings in the dream, one where I’m outside within a snowy environment, and the other is going inside a building that looks like some large cathedral, or huge fighting stage.

      I’m with Reyn from Xenoblade Chronicles, and a few more dream characters I can’t recall too well on.






      We’re trying to defeat some kind of fire demon, and his minions of knights in black-armor with silver trimming. Apparently, every time I seem to mess up in how we go about defeating these entities, I just have to exit the building, come back, and the enemies’ position is reset, or they prepare to go back to their initial point inside the building.

      One of those attempts at fighting them involved me using some kind of green sword that’s implied as “Earth Sword,” and I’m frantically slashing my way through the demon, and his minions, but it doesn’t seem to do much damage. I keep going until I finally stepped back, went for cover, and contemplated on what could be the weakness for all of them.

      Somehow, I’m informed through visual cues within this state of being that a bow and arrow that seemed to have been of a fire element, at least based from its red color with some orange at the end, could be used to defeat them. I didn’t really question why a fire-element, or implied as fire-based weapon would stand a chance against a demon that also seems to be fire-based.

      I shoot an arrow at one of the guards, and I see this through looking myself over the shoulder, but still feeling the sensations of using the weapon, and it explodes on one of his minions with ease. I get more confident, and started to take them down one by one. The dream shifts to where I’m facing the fire demon, and it seems the bow and arrow can also serve as some kind of sword as well.

      I had to let the fire demon attack on the weapon I’m using, because the weapon can absorb the energy of the fire demon, and once it (the weapon) reached its maximum capacity, I simply have to redirect this energy back to the demon.

      However, it took a few tries to realize the weapon had a maximum capacity before I would start taking damage, and I would see this through the Life points meter HUD portrayed on the top left corner of how I perceived the dream.

      It seemed that I could do up to 10k+ damage on the demon, and would have to repeat it several times, seeing how his HP after several repetitions with the tactic done to absorb and throw his energy back at him was at least 80,000.

    11. Almost Had Sex w/ Math Tutor & Manager, Jim Carrey is Creepy & Is a Sponsor, YouTube Account Peeped

      Almost Had Sex with Math Tutor and a Manager (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I enter a room, and there’s an older lady that’s sitting down on a rotatable chair, you know, the fluffy black ones on wheels. She’s typing with her left hand, and seems to be fairly busy. I sit down on a bed, or at least it felt as if I was sitting on one, seeing how it was very comfortable, and I had the urge to lay down.

      The lady looked like she was in her 50s, wore glasses, had a black and white dress shirt that had some abstract formatting, and she wore long milky manila pants. I think she starts engaging in conversation with me, and even though I can’t remember what she specifically stated to me, I felt as if she was trying to be verbally sexual.

      I shrug it off, and wanted to wait until she wasn’t so busy. And as I’m waiting, I look to my left, and I see someone that looks like a manager I talked to occasionally. She had the same short blonde hair, a cheeky visage where they’re (the cheeks) are closer to her eyes, and she’s wearing a black and white dress shirt as well (in a different formatting no doubt). I think she was wearing dark brown pants, or some dark-colored pants, and she seemed to have fixated on me through peripheral vision while she was talking to someone else.

      She (let's call her "H" so I know which one she is in waking life) was within the same proximity as the other lady, and I started getting mixed feelings about what may happen. But seeing how the environment looked like it was a half-bedroom, half-office/working area, I kept making the presumption that they could just be here to inform me on something, without any kind of sexual advances to be performed after.

      But I kept getting that nagging feeling, and it just felt awkward trying to hold in sexual urges, even though it was just a dream, and could’ve spiraled into a sexual descent, and I would wake up, and not feel bad about what could’ve happened.

      But with those two people, it would be kind of weird to meet them one day, and look at them with a straight face.

    12. Strawberries [lucid]

      by , 04-26-2014 at 09:15 PM
      As I fall asleep, I practice visualizing and mentally exploring my "base". It has gotten more detailed as it has grown organically over time. I've only managed to reach it in one lucid dream, which was blurry and short, but... well, time and patience. I think part of my problem is that I tend to think of it as 'home', but when my dreaming mind goes "home" I end up in old apartments and bedrooms. I may need to rename/reframe it as something else, like Focal Point, or simply the Cottage. It will be a good springboard, once I manage to make it into a stable setting.

      I've worked on visualizing it as I fall asleep at first not because I expect to have my first lucid dream there (there's a great deal of NREM before your first dream) but because I want visualizing that setting to become automatic for my V-WILDs later at night.

      I've had a lot more success with V-WILD than anything else, although the dreams tend to be "fuzzier" - not sure why. They tend to fade quickly. I suppose it's something I'll need to work on.

      My first few dreams... I don't recall them. I wake up. It's 7-8 in the morning and I don't need to get up any time soon, so I let myself start drifting off to sleep. I decide to try a WILD but I'm too sleepy to want to put much effort into it, so I decide to drift and latch onto the first setting that presents itself.

      That setting is the store that I work in. It is a dreamlet that I am standing behind the row of cash registers. I am still mostly awake at this point, but I decide to go with it. I mentally "walk" out from behind the counter and start walking toward the market section of the store.

      As I "walk", the visualization gains vividness and clarity. It begins to become more than merely a visualization, although it is not yet a dream. In the past, I may have tried to "push" it into a full blown lucid dream, but that mistake can cause the dream to collapse. I have learned to simply let it gently glide into a dream.

      By the time I reach the center of the market, it has become a full blown dream. It's still "thin", though (hard to explain). I am standing in market. The layout has changed, though, and it's not the store I recognize. I'm standing next to an open refrigerated section with several shelves lined with cartons of fruit - strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, etc. The dream begins to fade a little bit. I run my hands over the fruit, trying to stabilize it. It doesn't seem to work very well. I remember that I need to engage more than one sense, and one of those senses is taste. I grab a strawberry and try to shove it into my mouth, but there is something like a force-field in front of my mouth, preventing me from doing so. I can't seem to put it in my mouth with my hand, so I toss it into the air and catch it in my mouth. It tastes how I would expect a strawberry to taste. I begin walking down the aisle, and the dream fades.

      When another dream begins, I am no longer lucid, although I still have an instinctive feeling that what is happening is not "real", although I am not sure why.

      I am riding in a small, worn wooden boat across a gunmetal gray lake, toward a barren shore. The sky is overcast and gray, and the lake is very flat and still. There is a man waiting for me on the shore. He is very tall and thin - almost gaunt - and dressed in odd-looking dull gray leather armor. There is a thick red woolen scarf wound around his shoulders, neck, and the bottom half of his face. He has messy black hair. I think of him as my cousin, even though he is nothing like any of my cousins in real life except for being very tall. I reach the shore and step out of the boat. The dream shifts and fades.

      I later had other dreams, but they were fragmented and I can't recall them.
    13. Metal ornament

      by , 04-26-2014 at 08:07 PM
      (From yesterday.) There's a girl on the grounds of some large estate, talking to a boy. She's been chosen to play some role in some tradition or game or something - it's something of an honor, but she's refusing to have anything to do with it. He's trying to convince her - not with any particular effort, just an aw-c'mon kind of way.

      Scene change - elsewhere on that same estate, there's a different girl, wearing a rather old-fashioned maid's uniform (this is a roughly modern setting), and she's standing against a tree. I have the impression she's tied there, but I don't see ropes. This is the role that the other girl had originally been chosen for. There's a group of people who've just found her - searching is part of the game, or tradition, or whatever it is. She's got an oval metal ornament on her forehead, covering her eyes, engraved with some scene. A boy reaches out to remove it - this is also part of the game/tradition/whatever. The 'dream camera' angle changes then, so I can't see the girl's face, but I'm aware that - and this isn't part of the tradition - it will turn out the ornament has a long, thin spike underneath, and the girl is dead. I have a brief image of blood around her eyes, or possibly eye sockets - from the angle I'm standing now, off to one side, I'm not sure which.

      A man's just finished examining the crime scene, though he's not anyone official. He's feeling outraged about something else he'd found, some belonging of hers that had been put on display, hung from a tree with ropes. Standing behind him is the owner of the estate, and that's who the outrage is directed towards. Highlander-inspired then: the man doing the examining takes out a sword - it had been concealed under the grey trenchcoat he's wearing - and formally introduces himself to the owner of the estate, who also has a sword, and who simply says "Yeah" - the implication being that his name's already known.
    14. Morning - Non-lucid - Boss Subversion

      by , 04-26-2014 at 05:15 PM (Dream Dream Dream Dream Dream Dream)
      I want to remember these ones. They had a unique feel to 'em.

      Dream - Earlier Boss
      I remember being one of a group of three who were trying to bring down this one evil guy, sort of reminiscent of a mob boss but not as business-like. I'm not sure what he was even trying to accomplish.

      We were using children to help us out, they had some sort of task that had to be done close to the end of the line. I really can't remember exactly what they were supposed to do, I just remember that they would all run past the boss's inner sanctum into another room with some minions in it, perhaps on their way to something more important, or maybe just in order to disorient the minions with the sudden appearance of children. There was something else about me having a gun but at some point it ran out of bullets, right in front of the boss, I think. I just remember pulling the trigger and it just clicking all lame and I was like frick. That seems to be a recurring thing.

      I remember that the boss had somehow played the three of us; I was sitting with my back against some wall all defeated-like, while he explained how he'd tricked me. It had something to do with an origami folding made out of silver-grey paper. I was somewhat distressed when it somehow got unfolded while he was talking, but other than that small hint I have no idea what his ploy may have been.

      Dream - Later Boss
      In this one I actually worked for the boss I and others were trying to take out. This villain was a sort of jovial, sarcastic guy, trusting no one and confident in this lack of trust, since he didn't need trust for his plans to work out. Whereas the previous boss had seemed a little more direct and capable in the way he crushed opposition, this guy treated a lot of it like a game. But y'know, in a playing-with-lives sort of way.

      One of the ways I tried to screw up his plans was by stealing away gems he needed. There was a blue/green gem and a red flame gem... I found the blue/green gem after seeing it shining from inside some guy's face (one of the minions, I think, given it for safe-keeping), between his eyes and a little off-center; he was smiling as though confident it was totally safe in there, but I distinctly remember plunging my hand into that area and pulling it out. I ended up with a few gem-sized chunks that were not gems and something that glistened blue-green through a slimy coating of blood. I'm pretty sure I put the whole mess in my hoodie's front pocket, since there wasn't time for me to sort through it and there were at least two minions looking at me, though for some reason they hadn't seen me flat-out take it.

      I remember the feeling of fumbling to try to put another one of the gems in my front pocket; it must've been the flame gem, since it was totally clean. It was frustrating, I could feel exactly what my fingers were doing, and were the edge of the pocket was, and where the gem was, and it was critical that I not make it obvious that I was leaving with the gem, but I still couldn't seem to just pocket it and relax. I think one of the other minions who genuinely served the boss noticed me.

      Note on that minion: he was some rather sneaky guy who didn't trust me. He was loyal to the boss and wanted to earn his favor, and he knew I was up to something, though he didn't yet have evidence. He wanted to be the one to catch me and show everyone what I really was.

      I remember that particular minion stealing the gem back, saying something as an aside about how he was surprised I'd just been hiding it in my hoodie pocket (implying I was either stupid or lazy). A long chase ensued through a dark city of townhouses, where I tried to leverage flight powers focusing on speed. I managed to get in the air but couldn't work out how to move forward the way I wanted to (I envisioned skimming but couldn't quite figure out how to actually do it, also my initial launch was somehow nostalgic in the sense that I got the impression, while launching, that this was a technique I'd used to do in other dreams when quite young, but that could've been a false memory). He remained in the lead, running and jumping from rooftop to rooftop, some lower than others or forming a long ledge for him to run along. In the end we emerged from the houses to a street next to a large open area, the ground sloping away from the road to where the boss was waiting in his base of operations. I slowed down while the minion raced on, then walked forward and settled myself on the slope to watch from a distance, in plain view of them both, as he handed the gem over to the boss. There were no immediate repercussions for me.

      On the other hand, another minion, and one who was actually on my side, was accused of having hidden another gem. She was some sort of flame fairy, accused of withholding the flame gem, and the boss had her stand over this odd sort of torch, with a platform for her to stand next to the fire (which was somehow holding a consistent cone sort of shape). He told her that he would ask her a few questions, and that she should move into the flame for yes, and away from the flame for no. For some reason it was assumed she couldn't really lie to him, and when he asked her whether she'd hidden the flame gem, she said no and moved away from the flame, but with guilt clear on her face nonetheless ... perhaps she hadn't hidden it herself, but she could have had a hand in it. The boss was about to ask her another question when I got sick of the interrogation scene, tackled him and tried to strangle him. I'm not sure what happened after that but it was pretty clear my attempts at subversion were over ggggg

      Then there was an end to it, where my group somehow managed to finally bring down this boss. I can't remember many details more than that he assumed, right up until the end, that he'd won, and I had the satisfaction of demonstrating how wrong he was (somehow). Then he was dragged away to some insane asylum or hospital somewhere in the city, while I watched from a sort of overpass nearby.

      Other Fragments
      - Being in legions with x-friend and a friend I was dueling last night. X-friend was being all happy and excited and my friend and I were just sort of chilling, dueling or following him around while he chattered and showed off his prowess and confidence.

      - Seeing two sort of malnourished looking kids, a girl and a boy with small, thin bodies, big heads, and huge eyes, both floating with inflatable red floaty rings in some sort of pool supposedly designed just for this purpose. However, the pool itself was, to my surprise, a good five feet deep, so that if either of them stopped floating and sank to the bottom they'd be pretty much screwed. I ended up pulling them both out of the pool after the boy almost sank right to the bottom before I managed to fish him out.

      GOSH IT'S SO ANNOYING THERE'S STUFF I WANT TO REMEMBER AND PLACE BUT EVEN THOUGH I CAN SORT OF REMEMBER IT I CANT PLACE IT ANYWHERE >8UUU

      gosh

      w/e I just really liked trying to bring down these fricking bad guys and totally failing at being sneaky and always risking being found out and talking to them and hhhhhh good times

    15. On the roof of the car

      by , 04-26-2014 at 04:14 PM
      There's a party and everyone is drunk. I'm not feeling well.
      I drank a lot, but I'm not totally drunk. Just feel a little dizzy and my friends say I have to drive them home.
      I'm sure they don't know I drank and I say that I will take everyone home. Sure I'm the less drunk!
      But when I'm about to put the key, I start to fear that police can stop us, because we are 9 people in the car.
      I never saw that car in my life, but I know how to drive it, even if it is a new generation car, with no steering wheel and gear (my real dream ).
      I put a password in order to localize the first house we have to reach.
      After some minutes police stops us and says there are too many drunk people in the car and the sum of drunk people is higher than wheels, so we have to park and sleep there.
      I'm comfy as the driver place is just for me, but behind it is really a mess and they don't stop to complain.
      So I go up in the roof of the car and decide to sleep there.
      My friends fight for sitting in the driver place, and I fall asleep.
      I wake up and someone is holding me tight. This was what woke me up. Too tight!
      I don't see the guy's face, but I know who he is and I feel very well.
      Also I feel like we had sex, but it's just a feeling without any memory.
      I know I should wake him up as it's not the place where he should be, as he has the girlfriend, but I decide to do not wake him up, as he is warm and I am really cold.
      I look at the stars. They are very bright and I look for and find the Little Bear Constellation.
      Then at once I think about my friends and I look down through the break glass but the car is empty and I think it was just a dream that I was at the party with my friends, and I'm just there with that guy, but when I look at him he is not there anymore and I think ''I'm on the roof of this car and I'm just dreaming!'' and I wake up!
