I am meeting Melissa at some tap house. I walk in and survey the place, as it is new to me. It is a long building and somewhat dim. The bar counter stretches along the wall to my left; there are tables along the (brick?) wall to my right. The place feels casual and homey. Before I can get much further, I notice Melissa to my right, seated facing towards me at the first table in. We meet up and then I go up to the counter. The man behind it seems friendly and patient with me taking my time to choose something. I’m deciding between a light lager and a ‘sweet red ale’, both of which I think are from familiar breweries. I think the red is supposed to be like a Flanders red, so I go with that one. It comes out in a chalice like pint glass that looks a little frosty. The beer is a deep, dingy red/maroon. I taste it, and it is indeed sweet, almost cloyingly, but not quite. It is unique.
I have stopped into work on what feels like my day off. It doesn’t really look like work - it has more of a warehouse feel. I feel like I am on the second level when I see a man stashing a ton of Levis. He sees me looking at him, which seems to make him nervous. He has a pile stashed in a fitting room; I wait until he walks out and then lock and close the door to the stall so he can’t get to them and so I can put them in as a recovery later. Now, I think there is a woman that is with him. They are gone a moment later, and it looks like some of the Levis are missing. If they got them, they got a ton, because the stash was a huge stack or two. I’m now in what feels like the men’s department, the only difference being that the entire floor is empty. There aren’t even shelves. The floor looks like concrete, and the walls are either concrete or drywall. I think there are a few associates here, and they seem to notice the state of the place, at least somewhat. It seems like they don’t care much or are accustomed to it.
Before 4am Holding onto razorwire isn't much fun. I don't really have a choice though. The cliff face is wet due to a storm and the wire runs in rows across the rocks and provides the best handhold. Above, the next rung of razorwire is broken. The guards like to tie people to the wire and see how long they can hold on before falling. Evidently, on the row above someone fell. A woman is tied to the rocks a bit higher up. Her screams are audible above the howling storm. At the top of the cliff, two guards are arguing with each other over whose turn it is to go out. They are about to look over the edge and see me. I start to climb the rocks. As I reach the top one of the guards looks over. Grabbing his leg, I send him tumbling to his doom. Climbing up to safety, I move across the rocks to reacue the woman. She is crying and cold. Hair so pale it looks white, plastered to her face. Her skin so cold and wet. She clings to me and cries. The storm rages all around us. There is more danger though. We cannot stay here. A serial killer is headed this way. I take the woman into the guard hut, out of the rain. Somehow though, the hut becomes a room on a boat which is rocking violently on storm high waves. The other guard is now in the hut, yelling at us to get away from here. The killer is coming. No. No, we have to stop him. I won't let anyone else die. Leaving the woman and the guard, I crawl out along a narrow section of boat that is almost underwater. The woman cries for me to return and keep them safe. "I'm scared!" She sobs. Not as scared as me, but my decision is made. Keeping low I swim/crawl along the flooded boat deck and make my way over to the side. There are black phone cables running along the edge. I wrap them around my wrist, thinking they will make sure I don't get swept away by any big waves. The killer is rowing towards me in a tiny boat. As he crawls from the boat onto the ship, I waste no time and punch him. He looks surprised but not hurt. I punch him again. Again. Hard rights, weaker lefts, each hit making his eyes roll back in his head. Then they focus on me again, with a manic, unstoppable grin. I try to push him off the boat. He is wearing glasses that are now askew. Can't even break them. I try to knock them off his face but he realises and manages to grab his glasses before they get swept away. His look says: I'm going to destroy you. Then I wake. 4.30- 5.30am Earth and Air - LD Sitting inside looking out at tiny, fallen, fake Christmas trees. Thinking about using them as decorations. Then I am following some people into a recording studio. They want me to sort out the music for something. One of my friends gives me a wink and says "I know what kind of music you're going to pick." We seem to be standing at the edge of a fighting pit. I decide this is weird and question what is going on. A hand reality check confirms this is a dream - my hand is twisted and freaky looking. Standing at the edge of the pit, I shout, "watch this!" Tensing my muscles, hunching, I focus on transforming into an earth elemental. When I straighten up I've grown about a foot, probably just over 7ft tall. My skin now looks like cracked, dried mud and are deep earthy brown. Roaring with fake rage, I leap into the fighting pit, smashing down hard and causing a massive earthquake. The walls of the pit crumble, dust rising into the air. The ground tremors with aftershocks, and golems rise out of the earth. The golems start to move soundlessly towards me. I fly towards the closest ones and punch the ground to cause another earthquake. This makes them fall but doesn't seem to damage them. I decide to transform into an air elemental and start spinning like a tornado. Golems are thrown back and knocked to the ground. Any that get too close to me get broken apart into dust. I wake up. LD #2 ...but it takes very little effort to get back to sleep. At first though, I am not lucid. There is a small yellow flower in a pot with long spikey leaves that move like limbs. As I try to touch the plant the leaves turn into pincer like things and snap at my finger. The yellow flower now has eyes. It looks kinda agressive, but it's still a tiny flower so not really menacing at all. "Okay okay, calm down." The animated plant makes me lucid though. A woman walks up to me straight away. "Uhhh, let's not get distracted." I tell her. She shrugs, asking. "How do you do what you do?" "I don't really know. Practice, I guess." It is raining, so I think about the water and the rolling waves of the earlier dream and again try to transform, this time into a water elemental. I forwards roll and become a wave, losing my solid body and just becoming a mass of water, rolling and churning. The entire dream just becomes waves and ocean. I roll around but am lost, unable to control this transformation. I wake up.
non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening Huge storm forming. I am with Zilla and some other friend and we run indoors to take shelter. We're staying at a strange pretty house, sort of carved in the rock of a mountain side. It starts raining and a big hailstorm follows. I close the door but there is water still coming in, so I find ways to fix it. Meanwhile, I look to the side to one of our panoramic windows and I see a giant tortoise. I go tell my friends who are in some other room, they don't believe me. When I come back, the turtle knocked down our door and behind it comes a small elephant. I am freaking out, don't know what to do, but one of my friends appears and he can speak their language. He tells me they require offerings like rice, wine, music. I wonder if they are some kind of gods testing our generosity. I go to the kitchen and pantry. They pick up normal rice, but I say we have basmati rice and to look for it. They complain a bit and but I insist on offering the basmati rice.
Dreamed that I was hiking along a public, populated track that followed along the top of a cliff line. I was hiking with my Sister, Mother and my nieces/nephews. At one point along the track, it went through a small cave that exited suddenly onto a rocky ledge with loose rocks and a few clumps of grass. At the end of the small ledge/natural platform was a Steel ladder up a short cliff, 4 meters tall where the track then continued on. I was the last person through the small cave and when I exited through the other side, I was wobbly on my feet and almost tripped over the edge! You see, the ledge was right next to the cliff face! Thankfully, my sister was kind enough to be nearby and she grabbed my arm! Tottering ahead of everyone else, I climb up the metal ladder. All of a sudden, theirs lots of other people on the ladder, mostly guys, all yahooing and egging each other on, out for adventure and excitement! It seemed as if they were seeing how many people could fit on the ladder at one time! I was up ahead, feeling nervous that the ladder had too much weight on it. I rushed up real quick and as I did, I noticed that the bolts were vibrating and moving slightly! I leaped up the final rung and kept walking down the track. I seemed to have forgotten my family left behind. Up ahead was a large and fancy looking restaurant built into an existing, huge cave, in the cliff. Strange thing is, their was no staff in it and no food! Lessons to self: Don't just say thanks, show it! Don't shove to be first, its best to be last. Self-renunciation - Don't put self first, help others first, even at the cost of your life! Practice mindfulness, be aware. When danger strikes, don't react, think! Put loved ones first, then strangers, then yourself.
non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening I think I had a WILD. Don't remember exactly what happened but think I fell asleep, experienced brief sleep paralysis with audio hallucinations, like people talking. Then a false awakening. Confusion lasted only a few seconds. Realized right away I had fallen asleep and became lucid. But it wasn't an interesting dream. I was just at some dark place. I flew around. Felt lucidity fading, so I looked into my hands. Then plunged into the ground and continued flying through some new scenario. Not much happened because I didn't have a plan.
Fragment: I remember having my limbs swell up at certain parts Lucid 1: I dont remember this Lucid at all sadly. I wrote the second one first since it was more important to me. I just know that this one was very short.*(I also did the nose plug for this one) Lucid 2:I am at my house and i notice something is off. I think i become lucid from the heightened awareness I had from the past lucid. I do the nose plug RC, and sure enough I am in a dream. This lucid I was much more lucid and less drowsy then lucids from before. I stop and think of what I want to do. I start and think of what I should do. I think that I should experiment some more with flying and dream control. This time i get very close to flying. I start running across the yard, I jump once. It was basically a normal jump. I jump again. I'm twice as high. I keep on jumping and every time I'm getting higher. At one point. I am pretty far up and I decide to fall down and do nothing. I basically take a laying posture in the air and let it happen, trusting that nothing bad will happen. I hit the ground. Hard. But I feel nothing, at all. It was great. I continue my jumping thing and decide to try and start flying. I failed basically. The closes I got was swimming, and I could oy dothat about 2 meters away from the ground(this shows my actual lucidity, as I said this is one of the highest lucids I have gotten(a part from my first)but I'm still not that good at control and I'm still thinking about waking life a bit) I decide to swim to town on the roads since I was going pretty fast. I get there pretty soon and I spot many weird looking buildings, I ignore them and jump on the roof on a random building. I am having a blast, so I decide to calm myself down. I do that and then get an idea. I thought of some people sword fighting and decide to get to a arena. I dont know how I should so I summon a book. I think really hard. Knowing I can do this. I close my eyes for some reason. But soon the book is in my hand. Almost like it came from thin air. I open the book and see many sections. But I want to go to the map. So I look for the m's, takes a good 10 seconds but eventually I find it. I look for the arena and I see it. The coordinates are f'd up though. I see two other places and the coordinates are normal. I decide I should just try to teleport to it. I close my eyes and will it. I get close it feels. But I wake up into a FA. FA: In this FA I am completely naked in bed and everyone in my house enters my room and talks to me about something. It took a long ass time for them to go away. This is great progress. Because I've never had 2 lucids in one night. I may not remember my first one. But i am 100% confident that it was a lucid. These lucids may be pretty boring sounding in others eyes. But these are fun as hell because they meant one thing. Progress.
This august began particularly interestingly This night I dreamt that lions were walking around in the streets...a lot of them..They were all calm , not shredding people to bits left and right, but people still were scared of course... I just went somewhere with mom when suddenly I saw a lion, then from the next street came a bunch of em ....males ,females, little ones a big one with a mane even rubbed itself on me like a cat ... I was scared as heck but I kept silent, walking slowly advised the same to mom because "they don't bite you if you don't scare them" ,or so I thought.. Anyways after getting out of there to a different street , after a lot of WTF-ing I woke up
