      11-Nov-2016 - ND: At Auntie's, again

      I am at auntie's stairway again (!!!), I recognize this is extremely strange.
      I meet D at first floor, ask him what he's doing there, he answers he just moved there. Oh.
      Then I start RCing, pinch nose, breathe through it, look at totem, it looks discolored, but I do not care, and convince myself this is true.
      I study the environment very well, some steps are made out of wood (!!) I take note and say to myself, so next time I am here I recognize if I am dreaming.

      13-Nov-2016 - 4 ND Fragments - WILD - Forest giant, Candyland, Swordsman in downtown Chicago, Gnomes

      ND#1 10PM - Smthg related to superpowers

      ND#2 11PM - Have to visit a customer, but a raised bridge makes it difficult to get there

      ND#3 1:40AM - Another fragment related to a customer visit

      ND#4 5 AM - Office, different than usual (!!!), MA, M, A, S are there. We are eating something sweet together. S asks for help to move products when they arrive, I had inserted a transfer order before (!)

      WILD - 6AM ~1 hour+

      At first I find difficult to enter LD through visualization.
      I try a trick. I sit in the back of a convertible car, with someone else driving on an highway, and enjoy the scenery. It is beautiful, mountains and forests around us, looks like Canada. This greatly helps in stabilizing dream.

      We stop at a gas/service station, we enter the bar and I ask people around if everything is in order.
      They answer, mostly, but in a nearby valley behind those mountains, all farmers had to leave their places because they kept finding their crops destroyed. Also, eradicated trees.

      We drive the car to the nearby valley, but find nothing special.
      I fly upwards and find a second, more secluded valley behind that one.
      I land and look at what they were talking about: round-shaped areas of smashed corn

      I hear a noise, like a rumble, couple of times. Then I feel something enormous passing close to me. Then I see just a glimpse of a gigantic leg/feet covered in dark tree bark touching the ground few meters away from me. It must be the Forest giant (dv task)
      I shout it to stop, and it turns around to look at me. It's as high as a skyscraper, its face look like a LotR Ent.
      Also its body is covered in the same dark tree bark. Really impressive !

      I fly up, looking into its face from same height. I can see the landscape, valleys, trees and mountains, below me.
      Then I start talking to it, saying that he's damaging the people living in the valley. It doesn't care, he was there already 5,000 years ago. I answer that also people have the right to stay there, so we have a problem.
      I feel the entity as largely good, so I want to avoid fighting it, if possible.
      I show the Ent a flame in my left hand, and I say I can control fire, so I can be dangerious to it and its trees.
      I even come to engulf my fully body in flames, as an open threat.
      My body reacts, and I feel a "sizzling" all over it.
      I also remember it that this is my dream, so it cannot really hurt me.

      Meanwhile I keep thinking how we could find a solution without fighting. The best idea that comes to my mind is making the valley disappear, by putting some additional mountains around it. The Giant agrees. I wave to it, say hello and fly away. <JUMP>

      I land in a small flat area with few trees around, not really interesting. I think about the origami glide task (J1kM), take a giant square paper sheet, and fold the simplest airplane, but quite large.
      Problem: how can I glide with it, if I need to launch it from the gound ? I think about a large "launching machine", with a wood base and a rubber band; and it appears to my side. I put the paper plane above it, then sit on it. Nothing happens. After a while, I fall into the mid crease, the plane collapses.
      Let's give up and try something else.

      I take two more big sheets, a gigantic orange one and a large brown one. From the first I fold a sphere with open bottom, through curved creases; from the second one I fold a sort of cup that can fit my size, by using angular creases stating from a circular base, and folding the excess paper around.
      Next step I imagine some cord connecting the two parts and a small flame in the middle, so I have a hot-air balloon, then I start slowly moving upwards.

      The slow, passive flight makes my lucidity level decrease. Can't recall how, but I find myself on the ground.
      I wish to fight The Swordsman (dv DHL task), but nothing happens.
      <JUMP>
      I find myself in downtown Chicago, at the beginning of the MagMile. It's very crowded, people, cars, it's very lifelike (which makes sense, I've been there just yesterday)
      At once, people start running and screaming, and a heavily armored samurai appeaars. I draw my sword just in time to parry a heavy blow which drop me to my knees. I didn't even have the time to draw my bow. I force-push him far away on the street, then make a circular movement around me to push everyone else farther away and have a clean arena. He lunges forward and hit me hard again, then does a sting blow on the right side of my face. Ouch, this is going to be too hard. I parry more blow, score some blow myself, but the fight seems stalling.

      All of a sudden, I see him carved in stone, the only recognizable figure in a fairly wide wall carving, standing in the middle of the street. I don't know what happened, I didn't win the fight, but I got taken out of danger. I look around for someone responsible for saving me, but I am alone.

      I wish myself inside my personal tower. Everything is in order, I put two small statues on the right side of the front wall, representing the Ent and the Swordsman, plus a katana on the left wall.

      I look at the portal, to find where I could go next, and the portal itself shows the answer: Candyland !
      I look at it before entering, it's very colored, the ground has a checkered pattern, giant transparent red circular lollipops on a wooden stick replace trees. Interesting !
      I enter the portal and explore this land a bit. Again, I am amazed by the colors around me. I see a transparent colored gummy dog walk beside me. More lollipops scattered around.
      A small, normal bird lands on the ground, looks out of place.

      There is a house with a patio, I enter down it. Patio's column are pink and white, spiraling. The roof looks inviting, it has a chocolate top and a biscuit bottom. I take a big bite of it, unfortunately no taste, but the missing chunk looks funny. The house itself also has chocolate doors.

      I move past the house, thinking what could I do next, when the Defense tower task pops up.
      Well, I'll build one here with the materials handy.
      I return to the lollipop-trees garden, and see some big stuffed liquerice. I remove the stuffing and I am left with a black tube. I merge few of those and make a liquerice cannon. I punch one bottom end to make the round border. Neat !
      I start piling up some construction material: giant biscuits, huge chocolate bars, colossal marshmallows and the like, and put those around me. I also model a chocolate door and border, then wish biscuits appear before my feet to build a spiral stairway up. The tower has completed on its own. I put four cannons at its top, pointing out.
      I notice how tight the space is now, but I guess it will do anyhow.
      I jump down, to look at the overall result from below; it looks beautiful, menacing and yummy at the same time !

      Then I fly up and away. Fly sensation is not very strong, so as soon as I see a normal landscape below me, with trees instead of lollipops, I land.
      Time for the Gnome TotY, I guess. I walk a bit until I find a cartoonish-looking tree, with brilliant colors, striped trunk, very green leaves. It should do.
      I start "collapsing" in the ground in front of it. Then I imagine a pointy drilling machine in front of me, moving the dirt behind, and I keep proceeding.
      It's totally dark in front of me; a couple of times I turn around to see the light at my back getting smaller and dimmer. Then, right when I was thinking I would not find anything, a light appears before me, the "vehicle" stops.

      I am in a round cave. Below me, small mushrooms, packed together, painted in the three primary colors, RYB, all having white spots.
      It's a small town, and suddenly, the room before me is filled by very small gnomes, like three fingers high.
      I say something like "Hi", then imagine the dialog is going to be hard like this.
      I turn to my back, wish myself smaller, but still a bit higher than them, and when I turn around it's like that. I'm as high as their houses, twice of them. Looks fine.

      I start talking to the gnome in front, he's wearing a red smurf-like hat, has a short white beard only below his jaw, pointing outwards. He's very grumpy, and answers my questions with short, blunt answers.
      - Hi I am X, what are you doing here ?
      - We drill !
      - I imagine you are the boss here ?
      - Yes !
      - Oh, and you ever stop drilling ?
      - Only when we break our balls (he used an italian bad word here LOL)
      - Uhu. And why do you drill ?
      - To find gems. And gold.
      - Oh. Got it.

      I look at the group, and see a white, different looking hat, seems like a chef one. I ask him to come closer, and he's exactly the gnome of the Loacker wafers. That makes me laugh in the dream, and I hear my real body chuckle as well.
      - You're the chef, right ?
      He answers more politely, - Yes
      When I ask him to try something, of course he gives me a chocolate wafer, which I eat (no taste, umfg) I turn back to the red hat gnome.
      - So, can I see your collection of gems and gold, please ? At first he refuses, so I try again.
      - Oh, come on, I don't want to steal you anything, I am just curious to see it.
      Then he shows me an opening on the right side of the cave, inside a mass of shiny, multi-colored rocks, red, yellow, green, blue, white, and behind those, gold jewels and ingots.
      - Thank you for that, it's amazing. Thank you all, I go !
      I wish myself going upward, half phasing / half drilling through the dirt, until i get at ground level.

      Hmmm what next ? Yes, the pillar from J1kM !
      I am close to the gnomes' tree, and there is my hole on the ground.

      I move a bit to find a black pillar of solid rock, looking like obsidian, like two meters high.
      When I move to the opposite side, I see a carving of a face with a ball in its mouth, eyes open.
      It starts speaking, says just two words (can't recall what), the ball drops in its mouth, it stops talking and closes eyes.
      I ask several times to keep talking, but it seems the ball has closed its stone trachea.
      I explore the pillar with my hands and eyes, and find nothing strange. No opening, no carving other than the head.
      Like with the underground drilling, I am about to give up and do something else.
      However, I look better the back of its head, and there is a rectangle, which I am able to open. There is a paper, with a series of switches drawn, some are positioned on the right, some on the left.
      I think I haven't seen any similar switch on the pillar.

      All of a sudden, the pillar animates and opens. A black metal structure emerges, parts of the pillar become plates on it, for arms and legs, the head stays at its place. It looks like a big, menacing robot. Ouch !
      My power do not seem fit to fight this stuff, my first reaction is shooting some spider-webs and trapping it.
      Then I pull the webs more and more tight, until it folds back in its original pillar-like shape. I find a water pond, and drop it at its bottom, with the hope no-one will find it again.

      Back to DHL tasks, I try calling for an enemy, but nothing happens.

      Do something else here, could have been task-related, I forgot.

      Next thing I remember is the J1kM "Plant seed" task. I imagine a seed in my hand, and I promptly find it.
      I put it in the dirt and cover it. The dirt is soft and kinda cool. I guess I'll have to water it to do something, so I imagine a watering can. I pick it and water the spot.
      A green sprout appears and keeps growing. A single leaf at first, then some more.
      When it starts looking more like a small bush, the color of its leaves changes, they become black and metallic.
      It starts to look more and more menacing.
      Before learning what it can become, I drop my hand below it, in the dirt, look for the small seed, and as soon as I find it, I detach it, pulling it down.
      Leaves and branches stat folding themselves down again, until the plant looks like a pile of rubbish on the ground.


      I feel kinda tired, I slowly return control to my body, turn to my left side and sleep

      I dream some more - my children, some girl, a couple of homeless guys, but I have poor recall for most of those fragments.

    3. Very visual dream w/ a sexuality undertone

      by , 11-13-2016 at 08:51 PM
      This dream was very vivid in the streets in buildings & individual people & details. Unfortunately I can't explain the dream very well. It featured members of my family & my own sexuality into the conversations. It was not a sexual dream though, yet the topic was quite prominently there. I am a bi-sexual woman & I am married to a very heterosexual man. I'm really not sure why this topic was even any kind of topic. Maybe it had to do w/ a conversation I just had w/ my husband which related to people thinking that anyone of LGBT community would vote for Donald Trump. Well, the answer to that is that he publicly recently made a comment about supporting the transgender community. But more importantly the dream was so very very vivid in details that was very exciting as always. It wasn't even a lucid dream yet it was incredibly vivid which I enjoyed quite a lot.
    4. The 787

      by , 11-13-2016 at 06:26 PM
      I am walking in a subway terminal. I have a ticket to something, and I've been trying to find the ride for a while. Through a maze of tunnels I find myself in a bigger one. This massibe round tunnel with hundreds of people in it. There's a casino to my left. Where am I? This is the question. And then the answer comes to me. I am on a jet plane. A 787, 10 times bigger than any jet, equipped with restaurants and entertainment.

      I find myself no longer on the jet, but with Chris and Hannah's sister. We're boarding the plane again. I tell them about the restaurant but chris wants none of that. Turns out we have our own private room. We go in and there's a TV, some meals, and rows and rows of candy and treats. I start eating reese cups the size of an apple. We sit down to watch a movie, and at some point Rachel starts lightly caressing my lips. What? Eventually I get the message and petting ensues. Half way through the movie I go to find another room. She comes along, but soon we're lost, and a nice mexican guide tells us we're in the basement and will need to find our way back up. I split from her and go up fast. I go so far up I'm on the roof of the jet. Up here, it's like an aircraft carrier. Jets, prop planes, and choppers line the deck as well as a couple hundred guys up here on smoke breaks or just enjoying the view.

      We smash into a rain cloud, soaking the deck. It's pitch black, and the plane begins to shake. I am thrown from the deck.

      Falling.

      I land in the ocean. Luckily I am only 700 meters of shore of Toronto. The sky here is full of enthusiast biplanes doing loops and flips and they keep edging closer to dive bombing me. I grab hold of one, and take the pilot's seat. I'm flown back to the city.

      I'm with my friends there, and they are all asking me about the fall. How did I survive? I'm not so sure. One guy starts up a beat, and starts freestyling, and calls me a liar. I take one step toward him, and rattle off a 2 minute freestyle that blows his mind and all those around me. It is recorded, and uploaded to soundcloud. I hit #12 rapper for the day.

      My family and I move into the mountains. I am up there with the most incredible view for a long time. One day, some tyrants come and try to enslave the mountain people and create a class system. I am invited to be upper class, but instead I fight. A man on a horse chases me down through the fields, and I leap my horse from a cliff. It grows wings, and together we fly.


      This is the first quarter of the dream but I'm tired of typing. After this there was a long slow motion sequence where I was Quicksilver from Marvel, and I was in a gun fight with 2 bad guys who had spiderman speed reflexes, and one guy who could move at superspeed and enter the slo-mo world, but still only at about half the speed I was going. This was an insane battle, because technically I had a massive edge, but it was not a simple task to defeat them.

    5. Fake Preacher who Claims to Sweat Sugar for God

      by , 11-13-2016 at 05:13 PM
      Morning of November 13, 2016. Sunday.



      I find myself in an unknown and unfamiliar area but which is near a public venue. An older male of about sixty is standing near the curb and preaching. He talks about the nature of God as if he is some sort of messenger. However, he seems very mundane and yet also very artificial-sounding, uneducated, and bland in his claims.

      Over time, he mostly goes on and on about how he sweats for God. He makes the claim that only people who are chosen by God can sweat large amounts of sugar. At different points, sugar falls from his arms as he performs his sermons. After a time, I get very annoyed and tell him how a person cannot sweat large amounts of sugar crystals from their body. This makes him even more confident about his apparent mission.

      For a time, he walks around on his hands. As he does, very large sugar crystals seem to fall from his arms and legs. However, I am aware that, when looking closer, they are just coming from the creases in his clothes. He does not seem to be sweating at all. Still, the sense of the continuous falling of the sugar and the motions of the cloth is very vivid.

      My wife Zsuzsanna comes up to me and, since I have had enough of the “preacher”, we walk from the curb to some sort of commercial building. The hand of an unknown unseen female comes out from a dark doorway of a business and hands me a business card. They seem sincere in their approach and seem to understand that I know the preacher is just an irritating fake. However, I am aware the business promotes New Age concepts relating to finding out what one’s past life or alien contact is and thus is also nonsense. Even though I do not need the service of this business, I accept the card without being rude.



      There is possibly an association with “sugar-coated lies”, though there was an obvious influence from a song I like, “Climb the Hill” by the Fixx, with “To me you’re inside out and upside-down” and “Bible thump posturing won’t turn me ‘round”. It is also unfortunately based on a mentally ill male who used to write mindless lies about me (and other posters) on a dream journal site and his own website. I would not even know where to begin with his nonsense. He writes compilations of his “beautiful art” related to his abuse, falsehoods, and stalking of other dream journalists under the “guidance of God”, while pretending to be a man from the future praising himself, and that is only a small part of it.

    6. Kobold Adventure

      My recall's still not very good, but I remembered something to do with me being a kobold exploring a manor's front yard.
    7. 11/13/16-UFO Darkens Earth-TOTM Cavemen Underground

      by , 11-13-2016 at 01:52 PM
      I first look out the window and I am really high up so must be a skyscraper. It is all dark and dreary when I realize it is dark because the entire sky is filled with a UFO. It covers the entire view. I get the impression it has been there for a while. It looks super high tech and it is not smooth but has a lot of texture to it. It is dark and I don't see any lights at all, it is just there and extremely close. I had a long gap in between that I don't remember, yet I know a lot happened. The next thing I remember was we were gathering a lot of people together because we wanted to figure out a plan to defeat them when we were encased in a clear dome. A couple of people tried to get out and couldn't so I figured I would try to picture myself outside of it. Nothing happened. Then the thought of the TOTM popped into my head.. OK dream good thinking, now the only way out is through the ground haha I chuckled probably out loud because it got a little unstable for a second. I was hoping noone would watch me try this so I walked over to a spot where people weren't talking and I bent over and thought this is not going to be bad because it is my only way out, plus I am going to go visit Candyland and I hoped that was where I was going, I stick my head to the ground as if I was going to do a headstand and can feel it squishy so it gave me confidence and it felt like it was only a couple inches thick because my head slid through the top of a cave!!!???!!! (Why can I NOT get to Candyland?) As my head and arms slide through fairly easy I am seeing cavemen turning to look at me with fear in their eyes. (Oh great I leave the end of the world and go to the beginning haha funny how the mind works) I think I got hesitant at this point and it feels like I am sealed in concrete and I am struggling to get through. My arms moving about is causing these cave people to panic. So I have to imagine it is smooth as butter and I drop to the ground and it feels very real. Ummm I am naked? OMG. They are staring at me and coming close and I freeze. They are sniffing my blond wavy hair and playing with it. They are all dark haired and hairy all over. They back up and I notice a younger one painting on the wall as he is looking at me, it is brown paint and it has my hair and body with lines like the sun around me, and then there are big circles on the chest lol, he is pointing at my crotch...I think because I am not hairy? I don't know..I am extremely uncomfortable. Am I glowing? Why did he make lines around me like I am shining? I see a woman holding a baby and the baby looks sick, it is not moving. I walk over and squat next to her and she backs to the wall and I hold my arms out and rock them and hold my hand as to say can I hold the baby? There is no communication because they only grunt. The woman surprisingly hands the baby to me. I do see my body is glowing as I am holding the baby. I put my hand over the baby and feel the heat in my hands and try to pass my energy to the baby. I want to make this baby healthy, when the baby opens his eyes and looks at me. He has beautiful eyes. Not dark like you would expect but a greenish brown. The baby reaches up to me and I kiss its hand and I have such a great feeling like I did something good. Then as I handed the baby back to the woman I noticed everyone was on their hands and knees with their heads to the ground. Oh nooooo.... I am not God. I needed these people to see me as one of them and didn't want them to think I was a God. So I made a hopscotch on the ground with my fingers in the dirt and I started playing with the children. As I hopped I woke up.

    8. Sea weed wall

      by , 11-13-2016 at 09:23 AM
      Just a snippet of a dream from a few nights ago. I was on a beach and there were little people helping me pull long strands of seaweed up above the waterline. We were working frantically for some reason. Actually I began pulling the seaweed in, and the little people just kind of appeared and started helping me like they knew exactly what I wanted them to do. Seems like I have helper elves for DC's. There was maybe 5 words spoken, we were just pulling and pulling. I was breaking a sweat, so the little people started working harder to make sure I didn't work too hard. How kind to have help with the heavy stuff I thought as I woke up.

      WBTB 3:00 A.M.

      I am lucid. I decide to test my focus my concentration and cognitive ability by counting to 120.
      I 'remember' this as a dream goal.
      I am successful. I then fly off, and become non-lucid.

    10. Crimson Plant; Sunflower; Green Couches; Void State

      by , 11-13-2016 at 12:47 AM (Oneirin's Dreamworld)
      1. I'm exiting a dream and have a thought that If I were in a dream I'd realize I was dreaming. The understanding I'm in a dream hits me and I become lucid. There are no visuals and everything is a dark blur. Visuals kick in all of a sudden and I'm in the front of the house on M street, in the grass in the middle of the night. The night time atmosphere is very peaceful and I'm looking toward the exapanse of grass as well as the tree to my right. I consider going to the left to the area I went to in a previous lucid, an area which contains the Growing Red Tree of Life, but decide to go in a new direction. I walk a short distance in the grass and come upon a bush with dim yet shining spiked leaves. I keep repeating "I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming..Focus Focus". I continue rubbing hands and making sure I'm grounded. I shout to the dream: "What is my greatest joy?" yet there is no response. I continue in the front yard for a bit. The visuals cut out and I place my hands on the ground. I think of a Xanous lucid where he stabilized a great lucid by making out with the sidewalk. I bend down and kiss the dream floor which has no visuals. I stay a bit longer in the void then enter a vivid non lucid for a short period.

      I enter an intebetween state and have thoughts which question how I would know if I were dreaming

      I soon find myself in the kitchen area in Via San and become lucid spontaneously. I think I could go for some dream goals, but realize I could explore the front and grab some cacao slabs before I head out. I grab some big bags of cacao and begin making a trip to the front doors. There's a greening hue glowing through the double glass doors to my left in the middle of the night. I turn and continue to the front door. I decide against fading through the glass and make it more difficult by phasing on an angle through the thick non-transparent wall. I pop out in the front and consider going to my left toward a tree. I decide instead on heading right since I've never been there in a lucid. I decide against flying. I think about stabilization and turn to a small tree to my right with big yellow and black sunflowers growing off of the branches. I reach out and feel the vivid texture and smell the full fragrance and am intrigued. I continue on and consider trying some of the chocolate. I walk a bit further in the grass, yet the dream fades, and I keep reminding myself I'm dreaming as I rub hands. the dream soon fades.

      [COLOR="#000080"]I realize I'm dreaming spontaneously within a void state. I stay in the blackness for a short period, and think back to a podcast about Astral Projection. I decide I need to head back to my body and project. I enter a slightly different state of awareness, and separate from what I perceive as a sleeping body. I appear in an area - which appears to be via san - with green couches. I walk up appreciatin the realism and feel the texture of the couches for a bit to stabilize.[COLOR="#000080"] The dream soon fades

    11. Reoccurring dream setting of where I used to work

      I was at my old job but it was all kinds of different. In real life I was in quality control I for a company that makes batteries for the US govt that goes into things like the space shuttle, rockets & other things I can't talk about. Anyway, one of my old male bosses had me helping to build a baseball field in the parking lot for a company picnic. Then we went inside where he has designed a new floor plan. There was the usual talk about why I was there because I didn't work there anymore which always signifies to me that I am now in the dream world & lucidity sets in. It's always bittersweet but I just start talking to people & enjoy being w/ my friends from work again at work. I'm loving shoving my skills in there very young early 20 somethings face. I always get a kick out doing this. These people just don't know jack shit, lol. There was an opening night when another of my supervisors are being talked down to because 2 of the elements aren't lining up right but it was because someone else didn't do their jobs. I was sad to be woke up by Meesha Cat because I was lucid. I did get to take out some frustrations out on some immature young adults who were acting childish.

      My husband & I used to work at the same place & he's still there. It's also where I was injured & why I'm disabled. So I have this reoccurring setting often which usually occurs when I'm having a hard time dealing w/ our financial situation. Christmas & thanksgiving together w/ multiple family birthdays also to deal w/ will always trigger this kind of dream.
