    1. Strictly Professional DA + DILD

      by , 04-12-2015 at 11:23 PM (Inner World حلم Gamma Waves)
      I am walking in a hallway with two other people, that appear to be 1 male and 1 female both in suits. One of them just finish their conversation with an assistant. As we continue walking for a couple of more minutes. One of them stated "did you see that shadow behind us?" The guy in the suit replies yes and without any of us saying anything else, we begin to walk faster. Soon we made a right and I remember saying I've been through that door located at the far left of the hallway before, it was from another dream.

      Though the guy insist we take the other side of the hallway. It was at this time that it became apparent that we were running from something. The guy began panicking and told us to run. I quickly jump down a few stairs and rushto the entrance door. Ahead of me was the guy in the suit but for some reason he could not continue moving forward. I ran pass him and then realize the building was some how forcing him back. I pulled my hand out in a attempt to grab him back.

      But the entrance door threw him back inside the building and the doors shut rapidly after. My knees fell to the ground, while the shoppers outside were either stunned or haven't notice anything odd. That's when I felt a tug, I began to struggle to get off the road. Felt as if my legs were glued to the road and soon I began to be pulled back to the store. The feeling of my skin being torn was quite consistent. I grab on to a woman shopping cart, then pleaded to her to not continue moving toward the store.

      She look at me with a look of disgust and proceeded to ignore me. I then decided to force the cart around which contain her young child inside. This causes a rather unpleasant reaction from her, she begins making several attacks toward me. Which eventually threw me off the cart. Once that happen she prepares to lunge at me, so I quickly flop my hands and grab a chair from a blue truck. I made a swing near her face and told her to stay back.

      She then insults me constantly. I took this time to feel how bruise up I am. I didn't even feel like I could walk properly. I sat down near 3 guys who were planning a way to deal with the chaotic building. I then realize I was dreaming after thinking about what ways would be best to stop the building. I ask one of the 3 in a white sweater, if it were possible to become lucid before hand. He began struggling to come up with an answer.

      Then the one in the military shirt demanded answer about how we're going to engange this type of situation. I then explain to him that the building can control anything inside and we needed to destroy it outside without being in it's magnetic range. I started brain storming but before we could act on our plans I had woken up. Lucidity Time: 2 minutes.

    2. Deer Contest

      by , 04-12-2015 at 09:14 PM
      Morning of April 12, 2015. Sunday.



      This is a very atypical dream, and unlike most of my dreams, it is difficult to trace any reasonable associations or present-life relative context of any kind. Although it is impersonal and I do not seem a direct part of it, it is still somewhat stressful. For some reason, a younger unknown couple (male and female, not known if they are married) is in a basement or at least an area under the floor of some sort of small store. The room they are in is not big enough to stand in, probably only about three feet from floor to ceiling, thus the task must be completed while lying down.

      An older unknown male brings a deer carcass into the store, although it is mostly the outer part. He puts it down into the “basement” and the woman is told that the skin must be ready by a certain time, probably about three hours, or they will both be killed (apparently shot with his rifle). Over time, with difficulty, the female finishes without any help from the male. There is a bit of conversation and drama though I do not recall all of it. I am present, but not physically uncomfortable in the small room, probably disembodied in my perspective, in some sort of abstract or ethereal form.

      From here, the man releases them, seeming in a cheerful mood, and is then seen in a drastic scene-change in the Loomis Street backyard with the deerskin lying flat on the ground (though he is walking away from it, though may come back and get it later) and the couple remain uninjured. I get the sense that this was some sort of mean trick, as he had never planned to kill them.

      The only thing I can even vaguely link to this is recently seeing a random tattoo show (I do not watch much television) where a female tattoo artist had to complete her jaguar tattoo, I think, but did not finish it (though was still not the one chosen to leave by the judges). It may be related to being forced to make warmer clothes for the coming winter to avoid becoming too cold (since it is seemingly taking place in Wisconsin), though that is only a guess. Other than that, it remains an impersonal atypical sequence.

    3. Rolling Around

      by , 04-12-2015 at 09:09 PM
      Morning of April 12, 2015. Sunday.



      This dream seemingly repeated at least once. I seem to be on Barolin Street. My wife is on a thinner mattress on the floor though it seems like we are just meeting for perhaps the first or second time and I perhaps live somewhere else. We end up kissing and sometimes rolling around and for some reason we are eventually laughing. There are several other people in the large room, perhaps her relatives. Her father (whom I never met in reality) seems to be at a stove on the opposite side of the room, though we are in the living room and there is another stove in the actual kitchen farther west of us. I completely ignore the others and nothing is said by any of them. I feel very happy and relaxed and even seem to feel healthier over time.

      Eventually, there is music playing (though I do not recall a particular song). I notice that the (fictional) window in the kitchen on the southern side is open and I am aware that I should close it because the neighbors (in the halfway house) could hear the music - and I have a false memory that the annoying neighbors come to visit whenever they know anyone is home. When I close the window, it is much like the metal sliding setup in our present home in the front room, though much smaller and sideways (rotated ninety degrees) yet still seems somewhat like a sash window. The closing of the window feels very realistic.

      In some sort of hypnopompic sequence, I see the silhouette of a tree (just after sunset or just before sunrise) with not many leaves, though it is heart-shaped.

    4. Take your eyeballs out and fly!

      by , 04-12-2015 at 09:06 PM
      I was with a large group of friends. They looked the the TV cast of uk shameless but some of them represented certain people to me. We were at the old lovers lane property in front of the barn. It was nighttime and we were just having fun. We were sitting on the ground and I got lucid and began exclaiming to the DC's that this was a dream and we could do anything. We could pop our eyes out! We could fly! Many of them tried to pop an eye out and take flight. The lucidity faded pretty quickly and I walked home because it was very late. It was 3am. I walked upstairs quietly. All the lights were on. Mom had been hanging Christmas garlands on the stairs. I knew mom and dad were sleeping. I went to take my contacts off. When I looked in the mirror I had no face. I shook my head, then I had a face but it was distorted. I went to bed.

    5. What I recall

      by , 04-12-2015 at 06:41 PM
      I had a good length of lucidity but my recall is poor so I just wrote bits of what happened.

      -I was with a dc who was holding a picture of Mary. I thought it was a picture that the dc wanted me to pray to. I told it to get it away from me. The dc told me not to worry because it was just a picture that was turning into a old person. I said "Oh, okay." and stayed with the dc.(Lucid)

      - I was inside a place, outdoors where I was told to stay because God wanted to observe me. I was flying and met with another character but forgot most about what I did there when I woke up.
      (Non Lucid and Lucid)
      -I was inside my house living room with my dad. There was a centipede and another black centipede that looked like a scorpion. They were running around. I told my dad to kill them for me which he did. Than Selena Gomez appeared out of no where with a diagram of the harmless centipede she said had a water like body and the harmful one she said had a crunch to it. She mentioned how people are afraid of both but they shouldn't be worried about the harmless one.
      (Non lucid)
      - In another part of a dream I woke up on a bed and saw fin and Jake waking up. Jake said he slept good but Fin said his head felt heavy and that he slept horrible.When fin got up and started walking he tripped on a piece of bed cover that was on the floor. Either Jake or my dad told him that he was warned about that. Something else happened after that but i forgot.(Semi lucid)

      - I was walking inside a lake with a group of people who were crossing for survival. A mother started complaining about how her stomach really hurt. I flew above the lake with a basket than landed in the water. A few guys got mad at me but I told them not to worry because I was planing on fixing the basket for them. I fixed it and than the dream took a different direction.
      (Lucid)
      -Ariana Grande and another guy were in my dream talking as if they had a crush on each other. Ariana wanted to color an already painted painting of a city with a orange crayon. I did it for her instead(Colored the clouds to make it look like it was sunset) because she was distracted with the guy. They left than I stopped and helped another girl named Josie(A girl in my old class but Josie is not her name. I just called her that in the dream.) fix her glass sculpture and get the room in order.
      (Non lucid)
      - I was inside my living room in the dream with my dad and little kids. The kids were coloring with markers. I walked to the window than a lady dc came out of no where and threw pills at me. I asked her why she did that and she said God told her to than left. After that I followed a little girl who wanted to show me something. I ended up in an unfamiliar house where a boy or a man was annoying me.
      (Non lucid to Lucid)
      After that I was searching for Dawn and a boy said he would help me. Someone gave me a plastic with two red years, A picture of a little boy with blonde hair and the name Alex that changed to Alexus. The boy was walked me through a hall, than into a room where we spotted a group of children hiding. The boy I was with tried beating them up but I held him back. Others tried joining in with the boy that wanted to fight than i was told to throw white powder at them. I tried but missed and woke up.

    6. Why I Never Post

      by , 04-12-2015 at 05:25 PM (My Dream Goals)
      Hello, guys! Today I thought I would tell you why I never usually post my Lucid Dreams.

      In the waking life, I love the night. It gives me a chance to clear my mind, get work done, and practice some WILD. When I LD, whenever I become lucid, it is almost always night. However, unlike waking life, this always fills me with a small sense of dread. I do not feel safe enough to explore, and due to my emotional state when this happens, I am unable to reach the level of lucidity required to change night to day. While I do sometimes have daytime LD's, these are short, uncommon, and not worth posting online (I use a private dream journal, then post the highlights online). However, there is one feat I have completed that may allow me to change night to day during Night LD's. On my first elongated LD (which took place at night), I became suspicious that I was dreaming when while walking around my house I looked at the clock to realize that it was 1:00 AM. I went to go to sleep, but when I checked again, it was only 7:00 PM. I got suspicious, but passed it off as nothing... until I looked again and it was 9:00 PM. So, for a reality check, I put my hands (which looked normal) on the sides of my view of the clock and flicked my right hand's index finger. The time increased by one minute. As I continued, this kept happening, and I realized that it was a dream, although at this point, although still in control of the clock, I developed the sense of dread that I still get today during night LD's (Surprisingly, NLD's are fine). Please tell me if you would know of any ways to get over this.

    7. Night of April 11 2015

      by , 04-12-2015 at 02:01 PM (My paranoid adventure into the mind.)
      Too much drinking

      The dream started with me in a very simple room. 4 walls, 1 roof, and 1 floor, and nothing else. Though I had the feeling that it was a police interrogation room as one of the walls had one-way glass (I couldn't see through it.) and a door next to it, and I couldn't open it. I remember having a bottle of alcohol in my hand and I remember being drunk. Suddenly, I started to question my reality, asking, "Why do I think I'm in reality?" and also saying, "I could be dreaming." and then I continued saying my mantra which is "I'm dreaming". All the while looking at my surroundings. When I looked at my hands to do an RC (Though I couldn't really see them well as it was blurry (or I just don't recall the image of my hands)), I realized that I was dreaming. Then I said "I'm not going to do anything in the dream because I feel too drunk". I can't even believe myself anymore ;_;. I continued drinking and eventually woke up.

      Well that was exciting and unexpected as a first (recalled) lucid dream! I feel as though I was only semi-lucid in the dream. I think I've been doing my RC's wrong. Usually, I do what I've been doing in my dream while trying to remember what I did 5 minutes ago. Then I proceeded to that RC and repeated my mantra. Of course I've been putting the thought that I REALLY WAS dreaming during these procedures, but it didn't really take full effect in the dream. Maybe it was because my hands were blurry, should I combine the hands RC with another one, or change my Reality Checking procedure? Or am I right, but I need to give it more time?

      Scare

      I turned off my laptop the wrong way (Did it abruptly by pressing the same button you use to turn it on). I felt afraid that it would damage it. (Dream Fragment).

    8. Fart Cream

      by , 04-12-2015 at 01:42 PM
      Lucid #1:

      In the earliest part that I can remember, I was walking through a golden field of grass. It was the early morning, the sun was rising and there was a little bit of mist all around. I was searching for a light painted forest to do Jenkees' lucid dare. Some annoying DC kept following me around so I shoved his face into the ground and put him in the handcuff position, then assigned another DC as a security guard to make sure that he stayed there. The security guard DC immediately had a mall cop uniform and nodded at me. I walked down a dirt path and I came to a small group of trees. I tried to illuminate the various plant life with a multicoloured glow. It wasn't working very well and there were only maybe 8 trees so I decided to try that dare another time.

      I noticed that Dreamer was next to me, I was super excited that it was so easy to find her. I grabbed her hand and we started flying together over this beautiful countryside. I looked down while we flew and admired the vivid green fields. I saw a river that was running through a meadow and into a deeply wooded forest, I considered trying the dare again but decided to try some easier ones.

      We eventually came to a small French town with cobblestone roads and traditional French architecture.

      Need asistance from other Dream guides-2013-06-03-rochefortenterrebretagne.jpg

      I saw a group of chairs that were outside a cafe and I used telekinesis to do one easy dare. I made a chair fly into the air with my mind powers and then I made it fly off into the distance at super speed. I then did some sexy stuff with Dreamer before the dream ended.



      Lucid #2:

      I was watching some story play out from a 3rd person perspective. This guy was going to a restaurant with his girlfriend, his mom, and his mom's boyfriend. The guy broke up with his girlfriend, his mom broke up with her boyfriend, and then the mom and the son left the scene. The mom's now ex-boyfriend pulled out a huge bag of cocaine and then started to do a line off some lady's table. The son's now ex-girlfriend asked for some, then pulled out an even bigger bag of cocaine and filled up the guy's smaller bag instead of taking any. It looked very thick and crystalline, like wet clumps of sugar.
      I appeared and had a body suddenly. I took the bag and rolled it into a huge, slushy clump of snow. I took it outside and held the clump of snow in my left hand while I took chunks of it and made snowballs with my right hand. I threw the snowballs at random DCs that passed by me. They thought I was a dick at first, but then everybody in the street started having a massive, impromptu snowball fight. Old ladies were building fortresses behind cars, bus drivers were leaping over bushes while throwing snowballs and screaming like rambo, and little kids were banding together to plot a massive snowball assault on the adults. I was still throwing snowballs at people at this point. I stole one guy's huge snowball that looked like it was about the size of someone's head and I threw it at another guy. The snow fell off and it turned into a soccer ball. Both guys seemed a little bothered by my tactics but then we all joked about it and went to sit down and eat some food at an outdoor picnic table. I looked at my plate and there were 4 grilled ham & cheese sandwiches. I thought to myself, "Mmmm can't eat those, they're definitely not vegan."
      Then I said to myself, "WAIT, this is a dream, I can eat anything here and it doesn't even matter!"

      I joked around with the people at the table for quite some time as I ate all four sandwiches. I was really enjoying being able to be calm in a group of male friends and I also liked not having to worry about the dream ending anytime soon. Right about when I was done eating the sandwiches, I heard a truck outside IWL and woke up a little. I stayed calm and waited to DEILD.

      The dream started again in a small, completely empty house. There was no furniture or anything, just white walls and white carpet. I walked outside and began flying. Almost immediately I noticed that there was a huge party going on below me. I got excited and wanted to go check it out. It looked like I had stumbled onto a party filled with various supernatural creatures; there were werewolves, vampires, and zombies all hanging out there. They were snacking on brains, blood, and other various foods that were laid out on picnic tables. I got a little bit uncomfortable because they started to eye me like I was going to be their next course. I stayed calm then flew up to what looked like a giant wooden patio that was surrounding a massive tree house. This tree was seriously huge, like world tree size. The patio was a restaurant that was next to an outdoor bar/club. I saw a table filled with guys that were eating different pizzas. I walked over and they offered me some. I gladly accepted and began greedily stuffing my mouth by taking a bite out of each slice. One of the DCs looked a bit sad so I told him with my mouth completely full, "Aww I'm sorry man, I left most of it for you."

      Strangely, my mouth felt kind of dry, so I looked around for a drink but I couldn't find any. I stuffed my face with some fries instead. Then I looked over to the bar/club and there were multicoloured lights flashing with a decent sized crowd of people grinding up against each other in what resembled a fully clothed orgy.
      I decided to try some tasks so I flew down to a nice, quiet, and empty house then reached inside my pocket. I pulled out a black disc, stretched it out with my hands, then threw it on the floor. I jumped in with the intent of travelling to an advanced civilization and felt like I was falling through a void. I'm usually scared of falling in dreams but this sensation was actually quite pleasant. I landed and opened my eyes. I was in the same room as before and I thought to myself, "Well shit, that didn't work very well."

      Then I looked outside the window and noticed that everything had changed. I floated through the window and saw that all of the buildings looked aged and run-down. There was overgrown vegetation everywhere and many of the houses had trees growing out of their rooves, with massive roots completely encompassing some of them.

      Need asistance from other Dream guides-nature-reclaiming-abandoned-places-5.jpg

      There was nobody around. After exploring for a bit, I noticed a building that had lit candles inside. I smashed through a giant window to get in, I didn't feel like trying to phase through it. I looked around and felt like I was in an inventor's workshop. There were schematics and half-completed contraptions strewn about all over the place. I picked up one tool that looked like a magnifying glass, except that it had tiny, golden gears inside as well as strange and intricate symbols. It looked like it had some kind of complex, electrical circuit built into the glass. I then picked up what looked like a paper weight. I inspected it closely and saw fine, golden etches in it that resembled a fibonacci spiral. I had no idea what any of this stuff did so I wandered around the house to look for the inventor, but I only found his wife. She wore these tight, pink pants and looked like she was from the 90's. She also seemed to be quite sassy and rude. I said to her, "Hello, I am from another time and I would like to see some cool technology please."
      She responded in a thick, Brooklyn accent, "Okay, but that'll cost you ten dollars."
      I pulled 30 Australian dollars out of my pocket and handed it to her. She looked surprised for a split second before bursting into laughter. She said to me, "You still use this paper shit? Hahahahahaha."

      I quickly reached into my pockets and pulled everything out. I had 60 AUD and my phone, which I then handed to her. She laughed even harder then said, "Fine, fine, I'll show you something."

      She took out this green coloured cream and put it on my face. She said, "Get ready for it to burn, it will completely protect you from the sun and from heat."

      Some of it got into my mouth, it had a goolike texture and it tasted kind of like avocado mixed with sugar and some kind of seeds. I looked at her shelves and pointed to one bottle of stuff then asked her, "What does that do?"

      She responded, "Oh, that will give you the BIGGEST farts of your life."


      Woke up.

    9. Stealing the Sonic Screwdriver

      by , 04-12-2015 at 12:44 PM
      At first I was riding a bike along a dirt road, but I didn't want to go to far, as I had to turn around and go back. I don't remember where I had to go back to though. There was a bridge over the road I was on, and I went past it. The scene in the dream changes a little as I turn around to go back. Now there is a sidewalk to follow to the side of the road. So I start walking up the hill on it. There was this guy who went past me with some tools. He goes past me and starts building a house with some other people, although the foundation was only shed size. The foundation is part of the sidewalk, so their project is blocking the sidewalk. I hear two of the people there, a man and woman, plan to do something with these things they have. It is some type of evil plan that will hurt many people in order so they will gain. It takes me a few minutes, as I linger around the area looking around, but I manage to steal two of their devices. One is a small power cube, it is actually pulsating with energy and lights up as it pulses. The other is a sonic screwdriver. I almost get away, but the woman sees the sonic screwdriver in my hand and they chase me.

      I don't get far, but I don't have to. As they close in, I turn the power of the sonic screwdriver on the guy and he de-activates. It seems he is an android from what I can tell. The woman coming after me pretty much gives up her cause at this point, and doesn't try to directly confront me. She does still stalk me, hoping to get the stuff back some other way. It seems the android guy had a CD in his head, which ejected from his mouth when he de-activated. I knew this CD had the instructions on how to use the sonic screwdriver, but I didn't have a CD player to use it. So I'm sticking the CD in my own mouth part way, hoping that will work, but I'm like what am I doing? The only thing I'm doing is slobbering on the CD. I wake up while trying to think of ways to use the instruction CD for the sonic screwdriver.

    10. Nice lucid dream. LD

      by , 04-12-2015 at 12:02 PM (Come on, let's go for great nightlife adventures)
      It was dark, I was with a girl in the town. On the sidewalk there was a box. The girl jumps in and disappear. I was like wow, let me try it also. I jump in but nothing happen and I realize that this is a dream. I jump high in the sky and fall down on a roof of a building. The roof was so realistic with so much detail. I jump again high in the sky but I get scare when I fall (because I'm falling so fast), but I manage to control the landing. I say to myself that I must not forget when I will wake up. I shout out loud but I feel my real mouth in real life started to move, so I stop immediately, but I woke up finally

    11. [12-04-2015]

      by , 04-12-2015 at 11:35 AM (Snehk's Dreamlands)
      Road to nowhere

      It was friday evening. Full moon made it a bright night, it was cold. I was in a big city with a group of people. We were going to a party, but we stopped near a river that splitted the city in two parts. We looked at the people partying in a building on the other side.

      I watched the group of people, for some reason I thought that they were my friends. I looked at the group I was with. One person took my attention. It was a blonde, tall and pretty girl. She asked me something, and then a man from the other side of river wanted to impress her, and showed her his musculature.

      I laughed from him, though the girl seemed annoyed from my reaction. Suddenly an enormous fish flewn from the sky. The was a woman standing on it, and another fish flewn from the other side. There was some kind of a celebrity flying on that fish.

      The first woman, a tall brunette in her twenties said "I'm going to meet that celebrity!" Someone from the croud that quickly gathered there shouted "But you don't even like her!" She replied "So what?" Suddenly another flying fish appeared, with a man on it. This was a spectacular proposal. In the mid air, he asked if she'll marry him, to what she replied yes.

      Then they sat on one of the fishes and flewn away to the moon. I looked at the abandoned fish, flying to the water. Suddenly I realised that it's flat. I laughed again, saying "It's just a cardboard!" This annoyed the crowd.

      I decided to go away. I went to a road going nowhere. I walked along the roadside. The time changed. It was warm, sunny morning. There was an old man following me all the way. He was wearing a grey sailor suit. We just walked silently.

      I looked at the vegetation. It was getting thicker along the way. I looked to the left, and saw glorious mountain range. Grass covered it to the peak. I looked on the right, and saw a temperate forest. There was a jungle near the forest, and a desert in front of my way.

      When the vegetation become really thick, I went on the road, but stopped for a while. The was a huge raspberry bush in the middle of the road. I looked closly to it, and saw that there were red, yellow and black raspberries. I wanted to take some, but I saw a spider web between it's branches.
    12. Partial Reunion

      by , 04-12-2015 at 10:12 AM
      Morning of April 12, 2015. Sunday.



      The setting seems to be Barolin Street, though the layout is slightly different. I notice people I do not know in one room, though they seem to be implied as my family members at some sort of reunion. An older lady and a girl are walking around and doing something that seems related to setting a table, though this one is in the living room. Only my father’s relatives seem to be in the house.

      I walk into the kitchen and see a large table (there being more space in the north area of the room beyond the doorway than in reality). On one end, closer to the wall and the doorway, I see two of my older brothers sitting there; Rollie (still alive) and Les (deceased). In my dream, it does not come to mind at all that Les had actually died several years ago. I say something to Rollie (who is the closest to the corner of the room and farthest from where I am standing) about not having seen him for a long time, though in fact, he does not really look exactly like he should. His face seems a bit unlikely free of more defined features - the skin too smooth for his age, though he still looks very old (something to do with his eyes and lips), though not quite like a real human - even though I somehow easily recognize him as my brother. We have a fairly short conversation, with him doing most of the speaking, but I do not recall all of it - he does say the word “because” at least once and something about a vacation, I believe.



      If I were going to assign any potential meaning to this, I might associate it with my living brother Rollie (and his present state of health, which I have no clue of), though I would not declare anything certain, as dreams related to him have not been that defined in plot or continuity in contrast to the precisely defined precognitive dreams related to my older sister Marilyn.

    13. I've been through the desert on some dreams so mundane

      by , 04-12-2015 at 09:00 AM
      Throughout (what I percieved to be) a long winter, and despite pressing domestic problems, I still managed reasonable amount of dream-recall. Now that the weather's improving and despite more time spent on preparation I'm getting virtually nothing...and the few fragmants I'm snatching are sooooo boring.

      Is my mind going? Certainly I can no longer duplicate the mind-blowing (but ultimately unsuccessful) rushes I used to get when I tried WILD attempts during the day. Yes, I know that isn't supposed to work anyway but, to me, it was a visible sign of something that was maybe potentially powerful just around the corner...and, as such, it was quite a morale-booster. (maybe I burnt the connections out)

      I've just had a two week email-tussle with a gas utility company (where I copied in all local papers, the ombudsman and my local MP) and the quality and sarcastic wit of my responses tells me I've still got some of my higher mental-functions...and I won. So why doesn't that reflect in a reasonably memorable dream?

      Sure, I've still got health problems...the nose job doesn't seem to have really worked...although this area is so notorious for its poor air quality it will ultimately take my move away to prove that fact one way or the other...and I'm still pressed for time re house improvements.

      Is Ed (for the benefit of new readers, he's my brain...I lean towards the opinion that mind and brain are seperates) is Ed trying to protect me from possible bad side effects of LD attempts? It's noticeable that most wake-times are a bit away from the end of REM effects (and the ones that are nearer do tend to make me feel a bit wobbly)

      To answer that I'd need to be strapped to a full monitoring-device to record heart, respiration, blood pressure and brain function and they don't sell them in the local chemist (and to install a machine like that in my room I'd probably have to remove the bed...catch 22) in one of my LD's, as the dream ended I swear that I felt my heart-rate speed up but it didn't feel life-threatening.

      As I've said ad-nauseum, I'm not likely to ever completely walk away from dream recall or LD attempts... because it's now so intregal to my whole philosophy of life, so I'll plod on, wait for the move, keep trying to move towards greater awareness and let Ed muse on these comments. Send me a sign ED...a dream where the grim reaper (like the one in Monty Python's Meaning of Life) slowly curls his bony finger and points to my heart and maybe I'll listen...or maybe not...

    14. Urban Refusal

      by , 04-12-2015 at 06:37 AM
      Afternoon of March 12, 2015. Thursday.



      This dream was based on an ongoing real-life event when I was resting in the late afternoon/early evening, except that my dream is an extreme exaggeration of thoughts I had previously, before I learned more about what was going on. The event involved a telephone company digging a hole right near our house and even blocking off our fence and gate and ability to leave our own backyard. There was no notification that they would be doing this and it is yet another good example of the thoughtlessness and imposition of modern society and the incompetence of the infrastructure in general.

      In my dream, we seem to be living in a different region where urban renewal is going on. It seems as if we live in the downstairs apartment of a commercial building (which may also be connected to someone else’s business) of some sort. The ceilings are quite high. The walls are concrete but the building seems to have a large crack near the front of it - related to the adjoining sidewalk and street. There is an area where you have to step across a crevice to go from the building’s front entrance to the sidewalk. It seems some of the cracking was made worse by recent digging related to the so-called urban renewal and no one was informed about the dangers they would be exposed to if continuing to live in their own homes.

      Kitty corner from our fictional in-dream apartment building is a house similar to the one we presently live in in reality. However, there seems to be adjoining apartments on one side as well as a large parking area in the back of the other apartments. An unfamiliar female and her older son live in the house, renting it. At one point, even though I am not lucid, I become more and more annoyed by all the digging and building activity going on to where I develop a sense of having special abilities. I decide to attempt to bring things back to how they were. At this other house, I lift entire sections of the sidewalk up using nothing but my hands and notice that the concrete is still somewhat soft and moist but still hard enough to pick up in larger pieces. I remove the entire sidewalk from each area of the corner in both directions and am able to toss it into the street where mostly only smaller debris is left. I remove all the construction fencing and smaller barriers blocking the area as well. For some reason, I also tell the unknown female that I will help her find a much better house in the area (even suggesting that I will create it out of nothing with mental powers). I tell her that I am taking control of the entire town.

      At this point, a group of people (of about eight or so) who apparently serve me and my unwavering goal are lined up near the curb. They are all wearing some sort of black-and-white uniform. I notice my wife as well as male friends from junior high school and a couple unfamiliar people. I ask them how many people they have eliminated from the area and the report is twenty, although I eliminate several people as well. I do not do this violently, however (which I suppose is unusual considering how angry I am). I mostly only focus and wave my hand to cause their elimination - possibly teleportation to another region rather than instant death. There is one scene near the parking lot where I am talking to the unknown female and someone I do not see closes their back door as if they thought I was looking into their apartment (which was not the case - all I was aware of was a shadowy area near a screen door prior to this).

      Near the last part of my dream, I somehow (using some sort of in-dream “magic” or mental will - though I am still not lucid) wave my hands to seal up all cracks in the buildings, including our apartment house (recurring). Parts of the entire building and areas of the street move to more properly adjoin and stabilize. From there I go on to refurbish any areas that were ruined by the so-called urban renewal project.

      A few government buildings, including a police station, are completely and swiftly covered with large vines until only a park-like area is left. It is interesting how I repair some buildings while others are swiftly split up and crumbled into dust by plants. Everything seems to be going well at this point.

      Most of this dream is based on real impressions and experiences (and a level of wish fulfillment) other than the ongoing imposition just outside our window. There was even a time in real life fairly recently where someone started to set up equipment and a lot of demolition fencing right near our house and fence. This was by mistake on this occasion, but by the time we got his attention (yelling directly at him had no effect whatsoever - apparently he was hard of hearing but we did not know this), he had already emptied the truck. He seemed to partially blame us for his ridiculous mistake - partly by living in a house that was vaguely similar to where he was actually supposed to go - apparently no address was given to him; talk about an insane level of incompetence. (Apparently we were also somehow supposed to know he was hard of hearing as well as knowing the exact moment he started unloading the heavy materials when we were in the house for a time and were not aware he was there at first).
    15. Looking for Her

      1.I am already lucid. I was in my house. It was daytime and I was all alone. I walked down my hallway and observed everything quietly. It was so quiet and relaxing. I walked into my parents room and looked around. Suddenly everything started going crazy. The house started shaking and my vision started to turn grainy. I remembered my dream goal, to find a specific girl DC before the end of the dream. So as I felt myself fading, instead of trying to save the dream, I tried to get this girl. What a rational choice lol. I hold out my hand with my palm open and command the dream, "Bring [DC Girl] to my hand right now!" but the command didnt work because I didnt believe.

      Note: The dream was WAY longer than this. The entire lucid dream itself felt like hours long, but I forgot most of it since it was from last week.
