    1. Foreign food

      by , 01-14-2016 at 10:20 PM
      Bed @ 2330 after a long day at the museum and on the road
      Woke @ 0400 by dog. Back to sleep around 0500.
      Woke @ 0600, immediately back to sleep. Woke @ 0715.


      Foreign food
      I'm with a guy I know in a foreign restaurant. They don't speak any English, and we don't speak whatever language they speak (something African, maybe), but the guy I'm with knows the words to order what he's been told is a really good dish, so he orders for us.

      Now I'm with some people walking through a city. They want to try out this dish too, since it was good. Ahead, the part of the city where the restaurant is comes into view. In fact, it's hard to miss the transition, going from normal buildings to what looks to be half-finished chaos (boards and girders sticking out of buildings at all angles). Now we're loading up inside a huge elevator. I'd been worried there wouldn't be room for our group, but there's plenty. Unfortunately, we got a bit strung out, so we're waiting for the guys in the rear to catch up. Bob keeps having to hit the door open button, and I feel bad for people on other floors who need the elevator. I notice a large monitor above the control panel but have no idea what it's for. Eventually, the elevator starts beeping at us and won't respond to the door open button any more. Our pastor's son and another guy still haven't made it; they'll just have to take the next elevator. Now we're going up, and I realize that this elevator has no inner door and we can see the building whooshing by, and that if anyone stuck had through the opening he'd probably lose it.

      Now we're walking through some kind of fancy restaurant. I'm self-conscious in my shirt and jeans, and some of the diners are giving us nasty looks, but the place is mostly empty so it's not too bad, and it doesn't really matter since we're just walking through on our way to our destination.

      Now Alex is riding on some electric vehicle around a large empty room adjacent to the large restaurant room.


      Fragment: I'm at a gas station pumping gas into my car. I notice that, in contrast to the station I was at earlier in the day, this one doesn't have the big "It is illegal to walk away from the pump while it's running" sign.

    3. 1/14/16 Competition Night #4 (2016 Lucid #6, #7)

      by , 01-14-2016 at 07:06 PM
      Lazy journaling strikes again, but this time it didn't claim quite as many point victims - just some earlier non-lucids. Mainly I just forgot some minor transitional details of the lucids I had. It's not my fault it's cold outside of my comfy blankets...

      After my WBTB, I'm at my old high school, hanging with some friends. We're jumping around the flowerbeds for some reason, when I realize this seems fairly odd. I think immediately to RC by trying to fly, but I can't quite get it right at first. By now, my friends are all wondering what I'm doing, so I say I'm trying to make sure I'm dreaming. I keep jumping, and each time I get a little higher. I've notice by now that my friends are all trying to do the same thing, so I finally have the idea to flap my arms to maintain my height. It finally works, until I get high enough to prove to myself that I can fly, after which I fly off to somewhere else.

      I woke up here, because I heard someone coming down the hall (my mom actually confirmed that she went in the bedroom next to mine, so it wasn't just an FA). I stayed up for a few minutes, before rolling back over and going to sleep. I had some definite WILD transitions, possibly some of the cleanest I've ever had. I'm now lying on the ground in this warehouse-like building, so I get up and try to remember what I wanted to do next. I recall my second step of my 3-step task is to teleport. I'm not great at teleporting, but I remember wanting to try it with a portal gun, which usually works in my dreams. I reach into my pocket and pull out the gun, even though it looks and feels more like a rolled-up umbrella. I point it at a brick wall near me and shoot, making the firing sound effect with my mouth. Nothing happens. I try two or three more times, but still nothing. I then tried my old method of drawing the portal on the wall, but even that did nothing. Well, gotta go with the golden rule of lucid dream control - fake it 'till you make it. I charge at the wall where I placed my portal and dive into it. There's a short second where I'm surrounded by blackness (the loading screen as I like to think of it), until the scene appears around me. I'm now at my old house. Well that went better than expected.

      I remember my next task that I wanted to complete - summon KestrelKat from my team. I don't even remember what methods I try to use to summon her, but nothing works. Meanwhile, my dad walks in and asks me to help him with his medicine. He hands me his pill bottle, and I read the label:

      Directions: Add one Kestrel and stir with warm water.

      I bust out laughing. The dream was basically making fun of me for not being able to summon KestrelKat. I lose control of the dream and go into a non-lucid.


      I'm helping out at some drama and dance competition at my church. My pastor asks me to take some chairs inside that had been out in the parking lot, so I roll them inside. There's a ton of groups in each room practicing, and every time I try to pass through a doorway to the next room, someone stops me and tells me I can't go in there. I tell them that I'm just passing through, putting some chairs back in the sanctuary, so they let me through. After dropping them off, I get back to the main stairwell, where I see two of my friends dressed up for their skit - one is dressed as an older lady, and the other as her obnoxious teenage daughter. I wish them luck on the competition, before eventually waking up.

    4. Shapes in the clouds

      by , 01-14-2016 at 03:24 PM
      13/1/2016 (tue)

      Fragment

      -Recall holding a rifle with a scope. In an enemy base. We capture enemy soldiers. I threaten people with the gun.

      Fragment
      -Victoria ag. My family are dying of syphillis, lying in beds. Covered in red sores and scars. There is a small boy who gets in trouble. The others order him to go stand facing the window. I make the others laugh about what he did and realise it was a joke, not malicious. They forgive him.

      Short LD 335 "Back to Brighton"
      I am lost in an unfamiliar city. There are overhead signs in the street. Roads filled with traffic. I am disorientated. This must be Brighton, which is where I went to university. I should probably go see what the sitation is, because I haven't been in a while. Maybe they will kick me off the course. (The course which I finished and graduated from several years ago.)

      The streets lead to a pedestrianised shopping area. The university is just a few streets away. Sure enough, within a few minutes of walking I find the university. NH from work is with me, along with an unknown male DC. The entrance to the university is closed, but the reception desk is open. My awareness rises and I become lucid, however in the few moments that I gather my thoughts and try to work out what to do next, the dream fades to black and I wake.

      Fragment
      -Competition for a pair of motorbike boots. I put my hand up to show interest, but don't win them. My parents win a DVI cable, and Mum also gets a brown handbag thing.

      14/1/2016 (wed)

      ND -not posted due to freaky weirdness of the NSFW variety.

      6.30-7.40am
      Short LD 336 "Cloud Chimera"
      A normal dream which I can't recall turns into a false awakening in a strange room. The walls are bright yellow. I get up and have this feeling that things are not right, thinking this must be a dream. The pinched nose RC 'proves' it to be a dream.

      Seeing a dark window I phase through it and levitate smoothly down to the ground below, down a couple of floors. The area is dark and open and in the sky are storm clouds. I reach up and form the clouds into a chimera shape... well, it looks like a freaky cloud-goat-thing. I couldn't remember the other part of that TOTY. Behind the cloud-goat is a gigantic robot face formed also from the clouds. It looks like a Decepticon. I fly fast up into the sky, straight at the face. It becomes more sinister looking, but then I pass straight through it into darkness.

      The black void continues. I think about creating a new world. It starts to rain heavily, and lightning flashes all around me. I continue flying, waiting for something more substantial to form, but instead the dream fades.

    5. 14/01/2016 Vivid Dreams

      by , 01-14-2016 at 02:39 PM
      I will list them for now and then i'll complete the journal entry.

      First i dreamt about being in the cosmos, it was white, and we were changing the course of a galaxy. The galaxy was turning towards left to the center, and we wanted to turn right, expanding it, but actually it didn't expand, it remained in place and thing evolved. It was what was needed, while if remained as it was spinning it would eventually be destruction. So the plan was to throw a heavy cargo outside the galaxy, in the opposite sense it was spinning, to change the spin. While the object, probably a "packed" star or something heavy, was thrown away there could be seen ficticious squares that indicated where the gravity was making a place for the object. That squares were spiral.
      The thing was that we throwed a first cargo, the new changing government, and the old government threw a cargo to put things as they were. It was irreversible, the galaxy would eventually collapse into the center. It was spinning too fast to change its course now.
      I backed away to the limits of the room and there comes a Nicaraguan communist (which actually was Nigerian). He was about to take me prisioner when suddenly some troops come in and capture him. They were probably going to execute him, but for the night we were all sleeping at the other end of the room, before the balcony. There was a TV and the place looked like Cordoba Augusto's Department. I was by the side of the TV, but i put a chair in front of me because i wanted to watch TV, no matter how tired i was (even though i never watch TV). There was the communist guy and some other guy by my left, and by my right there was a furniture and Fran e on the floor. He told me, no problem, but just try to be a bit away from the furniture so i can remove a sweater tomorrow. I said ok, and pushed the furniture or a chair back, so he could open the drawer even easier.

      - Seeds: a guy, a very fat guy, finished germitating two main kind of weed seeds. One was ancient and the other modern. He had like 20 Kg of seeds if not more. He was at his bathroom and he took a acrilic tray and pressed on both sides, like one would do with ice trays, and suddenly the seeds came out in all directions. They all fell on the bathtub.
      - Police/Friends: i took some seeds and went outside the rooms (the house looked like Lamadrid 1300). I found a lady inspecting some files. We were on a party so as i soon as i saw her i recognized her as a cop, so i said "Hey" she replied and i immediately went to the bathroom. I had the seeds in my hand, so i put some on my pockets and the other part when i came in the bathroom i throwed away in the toilet. Soon after that i evacuated it and went out. She was with another guy by now, or girl. I was expecting her to ask me something about what she looked suspicious about me, but she didn't. After all i think she wasn't a cop. Then i went outside to the main room again. If before it was white now it was dark and black.
      - Marriage/Ending Presentation
      - Couldn't find my sister/She was diagnosed lung cancer during that time
      - Ending scene: three pictures: a blonde, a violet and a purple/blackish.

      The last dream was about adding pictures to a marriage endind scene, like photoshop. The pictures would just merge with the one of the background, so it had to be added only. I searched for pictures and saw some about the beginning of the week (the beginning of the trip as well, the room where we where with the Nigerian). There was a friend called Feli topless and bottomless in front of her brother. Both of them were playing like kidding each other, actually the brother was kidding her. I was looking for many pictures, and those were just a set more out of the hundreds i could have looked upon, but the more i looked, the more atracted i was to what was going on.

      After that i woke up

    7. Shared dream attempt- Invisible helper

      by , 01-14-2016 at 11:04 AM
      When lucid dream started, I found myself walking down the long street. It was empty, quiet. And I observed my surrounding. I found, that while I walked slowly, I was moving very fast-paradox. I had strong thought- Lets find someone to communicate. Because street was empty I turned and walked inside nearest building.
      Inside of the building there were stairs. And I walked up the stairs. I was thinking about shared dreams... how to induce it, which experiments I will make to do so. There were doors on one side of staircase. I tried some of them and found out, that they were locked. So I walked up higher and higher. Then I heard some man with black short hairs walking fast after myself. When he was close, I felt invisible hands catching me on my sides and dragging me to side of staircase... and that man walked ruthlessly up, roughly pushing me into wall. If not for those invisible hands, he would throw me down from staircase... I went slowly after that man up the stairs. And we came to the end of the stairs... there was only blank wall there. The man looked on the wall and he was looking confused. He looked like he lost the line of consciousness and started to behave like dream zombie, and walked back down the stairs. When he came close to me I felt invisible hands to push me out of his way and then they pushed me up the stairs. The blank white wall changed to doors and I was pushed towards them. I looked back on the man- he saw me going through doors. He looked even more confused. And doors were closed after I went through them.
      I turned from doors and I found out, that I'm in large hall. It looked like hospital. There were doctors pushing beds with sleeping people from some rooms to other rooms... I felt strange feeling in my head, it felt like I'm falling down backward... faster and faster, while all my thought were evaporating from my consciousness. But it didn't correspond with senses of my dream body which was standing... My mind became singular- there was only single thought chain, very subtle one. I felt that I have to call my friend. And I started calling for her. Doctors starred on me sourly and hushed me, People are sleeping here!. So I asked one of them where I could find my friend. And he showed me the way. I walked down the hall to doors and went through them.
      Behind those doors there was room , maybe 10 meter x 40 meters or so... and there were girls from my high school(My high school was for medical laboratory assistant and there were 35 girls and only 4 boys in my classroom). They looked much younger, than they are now... more like they looked 25 years ago. I was walking through that room and somehow I was constantly bumping into those girls. I felt that I have to go elsewhere, as fast as possible, before they start to make notice of me. I managed that and went through next doors.
      I was in another room. There was young girl, blonde with nearly yellow straight hairs and slender body I felt I had to have sex with her- she disagreed, but didn't complain and didn't try to oppose that act. So we joined our bodies. I felt arousing growing like wave inside of me... and then I felt it wrong. The girl wasn't exactly cooperating during that act... it was one sided. I disjointed our bodies even though that girl protested to that. It was confusing. I cooled my arousal down to neutrality and left through next doors.
      On the other side of those doors, there was rural country with only a few houses. I looked behind, it wasn't house I know... the house on the other side of road was also unfamiliar. I decided to try to go into that other house. I went behind the fence. There were two dogs... puppies... one was small, like larger cat, second one was big. Very big, about 1m high and 1.5m long, but puppy nevertheless. It started to lick me. It wasn't exactly pleasant to be wetted by large volume of slobber... so I returned behind that fence. Some people came out from that house... I didn't know them. I asked where I'm, but they didn't tell anything. So I took walk on the road into distance till I fell into deep dreamless sleep.

      Remarks
      Interesting thing those invisible hands helping me on the stairs.
      The hall behind invisible doors- could it be something like dream crossroad? Dreamland where all people are connected and through which we can go to other people dreams?
      Maybe those doctors are something like managers of dreams? Beings of that land? Non-corporeal?
      Room with highschool girls- it looked like meeting of classmates...
      Next room- I'm not sure what that meant to be. Why I felt first I had to have sex, then that it is wrong, dangerous even.

    9. 2016-01-14 recall still a bit low but 3 major dreams

      by , 01-14-2016 at 10:05 AM
      + at the PTL (former adult) house: there is somebody visible inside the 2nd floor window [false, 1 story home], an intruder! I climb up and he's a sort of crazy looking guy and bring him out and scream at him on the front lawn, which brings a middle-aged man [false] out from the left neighboring house to complain about the noise.

      around the back of the house there is another house on a street with numbers and a sign. The sign says that even those the address is XYZ (has a 9 in it?), that mail to PDQ should be delivered here. The house is actually in a different zip code than what is listed officially.

      Around the front of the house our group is getting in to cars. Somone's handling a large elaborate cake. The cake starts to fall apart, people call out not to try and hold it, but the guy holding it keeps trying to get it under control and the more he does the more the cake disintegrates until there's nothing left, except a large glass of strawberry milkshake. I'm licking up remnants of the cake and the strawberry milkshake which are lying around the outside of the car.

      + standing in a portal/doorway with someone else, looking out on to (sand dunes?), a jaguar walks across from right to left, then it comes running to our door which doesn't close properly, I block the doorway with my body, the jaguar has its paws up on my shoulder, I push it back in and try to close the door but the door doesn't seem to fit

      + in/around/outside some house. In the garden in daylight, there are fruit trees/plants, a horse is eating some cherries from a tree. I'm picking/holding a bunch of blackberries, they're mushy and covered with some webbing which I'm trying to clean off. I get some good big berries but there are bees crawling around on them so I can't eat them, I'm trying to clean off the bees, but this squishes the berries.

      Inside, conversation with some women. I ask "someone should go get more whipped cream," a woman answers "no, there is some around still, I look on the counters and see a couple of bottles. The bartenders are standing at the kitchen sinks and preparing drink orders, I think.

      Some girls walk by, one of which is wearing a sheer see-through top, I get a look at one of her breasts, she has a dark, large areola. I follow her as she walks through the house, to get another view. Then she and another are bathing in the sink, I walk by and take a peek.

    10. #186 - Skiing / The Orb Apocalypse

      by , 01-14-2016 at 04:55 AM (The Oneironaut's Odyssey)
      Feeling tired as hell today and only just managed to start writing this up.. >_<

      Dream 1 - Skiing
      I remember being on a tall snowy mountain, me and another person had been airlifted to the stop and skied down it. It was pretty cool, I remember about halfway down there was a sort of plateau where we slowed down. I think we talked a bit and then continued, then backtracked and went a different way. I can't remember why we backtracked or what we talked about.

      Dream 2 - The Orb Apocalypse
      I remember there being an apocalypse of some sort (not zombies for once! ) and me and a bunch of other people headed south. We arrived at a special city which had a huge tower that shielded it. In this city there was an award giving ceremony for our people. There were 2 rooms where these awards were given out inside a large stone building (it was a bit smashed up from the apocalypse though). In the room I was in I was pretty bored, I wanted to leave and when there was a short break in the ceremony I decided to leave, despite knowing that I was going to be getting an award in the second half. I exited the main doors and saw across the hall the other award ceremony room. I think I saw someone familiar getting an award but decided to continue outside. It was such a nice bright sunny day in this slightly run down post-apocalyptic abandoned city . I looked up at the shield tower protecting the city, hmmm... It's.. Not on? Or is it? I notice 2 of the elder mages/warriors talking to each other (one teleported to the other to start the talk) and they were talking about how the tower wasn't working. Oh shit, it's collapsing! It happens too fast, it falls onto the two elders who were talking. As the tower hits the ground it creates a rupture in the souls of the two, converting them into orbs of electric energy that are 'absorbed' by an explosion that progresses out from the tower. There's a swarm of orbs that streams across the sky at the now vulnerable city, they coil into a snake-like shape (and I think I even see the orbs turn into snakes) as they attack the denizens in the city. This city is lost, I have to escape now.

      Some time later on I'm in a large grass field, I forgot the more important part of this... But I remember the ending . It seems that I'm with a group of people and we just defeated some evil thing (maybe the orbs) and the apocalypse is over. We talk amongst ourselves and share a laugh. We call over a few horses and a lion to ride, I think I ride the lion? We then ride off into the sunset in a pretty cliche movie way.


      This dream had a similar world to the dream I had during my nap yesterday, in which I was able to stay in the dream even when I was awake and rolling around in my bed - and when I fell back asleep I'd still be in the same dream world. I've been pretty interested in creating a permanent dream world so the experience is pretty interesting to have it recur the way it did.

      Oops. I had a lucid dream last night, I woke up around three in the morning and was wise enough to write some key elements down.

      And then I forgot about it.

      So:

      I was at the same weird place I was in my last dream. Everything was dark and there were some weird dolls and I felt like I was travelling in time. There were some crazy weird spaceships there too.

      I was walking around all the weirdness when it got SO weird I just automatically noticed that I was dreaming.

      I could feel I was about to wake up, so I rubbed my hands together. I don't remember ever trying that, but I remembered that people always talk about it. It worked a bit, but not much.

      Still, it worked well enough to keep me in the dream, so I laughed cause I was happy. Then, I spun around a little, cause I could also remember people talking about it. And anyway, I was happy.

      Then, my younger cousin was there and talking nonstop, so I got annoyed. I decided to leave her talking to herself, jumped up and flew away. It was fuuunnn!

      I ended up flying towards this really dark "tunnel" (it was in the sky somehow). I couldn't remember the TOTM, so I figured I could do the last one: blow up the world. It's my face TOTM so far. I could see the planet at the end of the tunnel, almost as if I were in space. I concentrated on exploding everything, which happened... which killed me.


      I woke up. Except I was still dreaming. Stupid FA. In the dream, I wanted to log my lucid dream.

      So when I DID wake up, I wrote it all down and here we are!
    12. [Dream #2 - Year 2012] My Encounter with a Shadow Person? - First Lucid Dream Experience

      by , 01-14-2016 at 12:48 AM (The Book of the Multiverse)

      #2


      This happened more so randomly and unintentional but I'll talk about it.

      The most vivid lucid dream (if you want to consider it a dream) I had was after I had awoken and went back to sleep one night. I couldn't distinguish if my eyes were still close or open but, I remember laying on-top my mattress in my room. Everything looked the same, and the placement of a couple of furniture pieces were exactly where they were in the waking world. I sadly couldn't move but I could see with my eyes. I looked over the blackened silhouettes of my computer chair paired with another item and eventually from those black shapes emerged a creature.

      Completely black and half my height, shared very similar aspects of the heartless from Kingdom Hearts, particularly the shadows. His hair almost resembled that of a straw hat with a kind of point on top. He had a yellow smiley face logo, similar to the one Impmon from Digimon has, on his chest. He approached me slowly towering me, sporting a wide grin with ground sharp teeth. Through various ways he exploited himself, I knew right away wanted to have sex with me. I wanted to engage in the act with him but again, I couldn't move due to being in a paralyzed state. Eventually before I could do more about it, I was snapped back to the waking world. The perception still did not change from me coming back but the figure vanished from view.

      It was disappointing that I couldn't continue on in the moment, and I was ecstatic about it. About meeting someone/something that normally one wouldn't see in this physical world. But I enjoyed the intensity and vividness of the event nevertheless. I also drew a picture of the creature afterwords but I can't find it at the moment, though I could easily create a new one.


      • Notes — Before I started attempting lucid dreaming, I was more focused on astral projecting. The methods I learned from reading up on WILD and MILD are practically the same methods I used when I was taught astral projection from a former college friend. Excluding the part where I imagine my spirit body detaching from my physical. This event happened unintentionally, but I feel that the habit of ding a routinely MILD - WILD
      seeped into myself doing it automatically without having any thought of doing so.

      Encountering the Shadow creature and wanting to engage is sexual intercourse with him, in my opinion, exhibits a lot of myself and how sexual open I am as a person, especially when it comes to different species. Being that I wasn't at all scared as most people would when being face-to-face with such a being, could explain the fact that in the waking world I do not have fears the ghosts, shadow people, demons, types of fears that exist. Thus, could be why I had such a positive synergy with this creature.

      *Recall — N/A

      *Inducing Method — NA

      Dream Signs — My bed, my room (being that it wasn't shown to be altered in any way), the exact same placement of furniture

      Perceived Length — 5 minutes

      Emotions — Curious, Happy

      Awareness — Hard to say. I was aware that such an event doesn't normally occur in my world (the waking world), but it wasn't much of an importance in my mind to really focus on.
