false awakening

Espionage, then minor wandering. (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was definitely my most successful WILD yet. I didn't get much sleep last night, so I went for an afternoon nap. I lay on my back with my arms by my sides, which is a really unnatural way for me to sleep, but I reckoned it was probably the best for dreamin'. After a very short time I got some serious SP and rolling sensations (for the 2nd time whoop!) and I ended up in an interesting dream.

I had unwittingly inserted myself into a vampire/werewolf story. I think this was brought on by watching Underworld the other day. I was a vampire, of course, and I was walking through a town centre with a couple of my vampire cronies and a werewolf, who had defected. (Apparently the vampires and werewolves were at war). I went along with the plot, which went on around me. It was night time, and the streets were very dark, apart from the orangey glow from some low streetlights. We were on our way to sneak into a werewolf meeting at a hotel. I could see the hotel coming up on the left. It had a distinctly more reddish glow than the rest of the area. The dude beside me said,
"I thought this place was closed this late on a Saturday?" and the werewolf replied,
"Not for us." Sure enough, there was light coming from the building, but only from one side door, which looked like the entrance to a very exclusive club. There were two huge bouncers outside in black suits. We paused at a set of benches out in the street to discuss our next move. The werewolf guy warned me that there would be a scanner inside, and that they were only letting in the most elite of werewolves.
"I'll probably be fine," I told him, with a dollop of arrogance. I left the others sitting on the benches, and walked confidently over to the door. It was only then I noticed I was wearing a very nice suit. I tugged the collar slightly as I walked straight between the bouncers. My swagger was so awesome they didn't even question me. Right inside, there was a thin corridor, only about 3 feet across. A couple of metres inside was a simple ID scanner, the kind they have in some airports, only without the face recognition part. There were two girls I know in front of me (I knew them to be vampires too at the time), and a female guard at the ID scanner. The two girls inserted their fake driver's lisences, and were rejected. A red light shone from above the scanner and a buzzer sounded. Instead of being chucked out, they were allowed to merely walk back outside. It was my turn. I reached in my pocket, and found my ID card I usually use. I reckoned it might work simply because it was actually a real ID, I hadn't bothered with a fake one like the girls before me. Although it did occur to me that they would realise I wasn't a werewolf and not let me in anyway. I inserted my card, but to my surprise, the light turned green and I heard a "ping!". I was in.


Not quite what I looked like as a vampire, but hey...

The female guard stepped aside and waved me onwards. The corridor opened up to normal size. It was very dark- I thought it might almost be so dark I'd lose my perception and wake up by accident, but I concentrated on the small lights shining up the walls at the celing and made them brighter, allowing me to see ok. On my left was a glass wall. On the other side, I could see a fancy restaurant, with all tables full. I reckoned that must be the werewolf meeting. On the other side of the corridor was an enormous elevator door. There were two pot plants on either side, and some people standing in front of it. I recognised one of them as my friend Sophie, who I hadn't seen in ages. I said hello enthusiastically and gave her a hug. My friend Pete was also there. I was pleased to see him too. The lift arrived and the doors opened. I was surprised at what I saw. The interior was about the size of my living room, and there were dozens of people sitting on settees and on the metal floor. It genuinely confused me, but I stepped on anyway. I sat down with Pete against the back of a setee. I caught the eye of a girl across the lift and smiled at her. I caught my reflection in the metal wall and noticed my vampire fangs.
"Shit," I thought. "Although I am really working these fangs!" I assumed I would now be mauled by the many werewolves around me, but no-one seemed to care. Instead, the girl smiled back, and I noticed she had fangs too. We crawled towards each other, cutting a path through the people sitting about, and she leapt on me. We got it on then and there, with at least 30 people watching. Good times.

I had a false awakening here. I "opened my eyes", and felt the dream zap away, and my vision of the vampire chick was sucked into the distance, replaced by the wall in my old bedroom. I thought,
"That was sweet!" and sighed. As I sighed, I let out a huge amount of air. I was exhaling for literally thirty seconds. During that time I took several small breaths, becuase I needed air. At the time I reasoned that I had been breathing so deeply while dreaming that my lungs had absorbed an excessive amount of air, which was just being released now. When I was finished, I got out of bed and walked towards the door, ready to go downstairs and see what everybody was up to in the real world. My left arm felt really strange, like it was pointing the wrong way or something, but I stretched and it seemed to fix itself. I reached for the door handle, and noticed that I felt a bit strange, like I wasn't quite sure if this was a dream or real life. My vision was a tiny bit fuzzy, and I thought this might be from just waking up, but I did the hand reality check anyway, and was astounded to see about seven fingers! I laughed to myself that I could be so stupid to have thought this was real- I was in my old house after all. As soon as I became lucid, I had a familiar feeling of being "trapped in the dream", which I only ever had once before, in my lucid nightmare where I kept having false awakenings. Waking up for real would've been fine, and a few seconds ago, I really thought I had. There was even a vague echo of The Twilight Zone music which tormented me last time. I resolved that I wasn't going to get into that mindset, and the music petered out. I was incredibly aware here. I was so switched on I found it hard to believe I could still be sleeping with my mind still at work. I walked over to the window. It was afternoon on a cloudy day. Climing through the bushes in my garden was some naked girl.
"Jackpot," I said, and punched the air. I opened the window, ready to climb out, but my three brothers came in. They were asking me something which I can't remember now, but everything seemed so real here that I had to do three reality checks in a row, just to make extra extra sure I was dreaming. I asked them who sent them, for some reason. The biggest brother replied,
"Christine." (she's my ex) I asked him,
"What, is she here?"
"Yeah, she's in the cupboard under the stairs," he said. I went downstairs to see if she was in fact hiding in my house, but there was no sign of her under the stairs. I went inside and hoked about a bit, but quickly became claustrophobic, so I left. I wandered into the living room, where we have a big mirror above the fireplace. I walked over, and saw my reflection. At first glance, it seemed basically normal with slightly longer hair. Then the title of a thread I had read on dreamviews earlier popped into my head. It was about looking in the mirror in dreams, and how something weird always happens. Right then, my reflected face distorted itself into a horrible, demonic visage. The skin darkened, the eyes went totally black, and my head grew horns. It laughed at me evily.
"Fuuuuck that," I said, and stared it out. The longer I stared the more benign and cartoon-ish it got, until the outlines of the main features looked very much like they were drawn by pencil. Satisfied, I turned away and went out into the hall.

About here I woke up. I was shocked to find that it had only been an hour exactly since I lay down in bed!

Dreams recalled: 7

FOURTH night in a row with 7 dreams remembered. Weird... My dream recall seems great, but I want an LD!

Again, my dreams were short and very random. The first was some kind of big group of people getting excited about something... like a pep rally from high school but with adults...

Then I was in some weird softball game. I didn't bat but I was already on base. We were in a big stadium but it was completely grass. I was on third and talking to a few people who were standing behind me for some reason. I was laughing at how short the basepaths were. When I looked at home plate, it was only about 6 feet away. No one was there tho. I was then back in a line to bat. The man running the game was old and seemed grumpy. He started calling in people from the other team to come bat and made some weird changes...?

Then I was line for some type of buffet lunch with some friends, and it was everyone from the game. I couldn't find a plate, and saw that they had only brought out 5 plates, but there was about a hundred of us. We laughed at them only bringing out that many for so many people and started putting our food on napkins.

I had a brief dream about driving somewhere with one of my exes... Not sure where that went.

Another dream had someone behind a door. At one point I knew it was one of my friends but that kept changing. Two people were at the door with some type of guns, and they were going to bust the door down and rush in. I was watching this from afar, not really involved. It ended as they opened the door.

My first dream with a lot of running in it. I was in some kind of store with a couple friends. I went through an opened 'secret' door of some sort, but ended up in a room that looked like just another part of the store. One of the racks had only one shirt on it. I was then suddenly back in the main part of the store, and started running back towards the other room, idk why. My friends chased me, and it was some type of game for me to reach that shirt before they could catch up. When I got there I was taken back to the main part of the store again, and the chase repeated. The dream ended as I won the 'game' a second time and turned to look at my friends.

The last dream was a false awakening and I was half awake, one my exes(not the one from the earlier dream) called me. I answered and she said hi and it ended as I realized I couldn't be talking on the phone because my phone was downstairs.

I tried FILD last night, with no success. I think its because I tried it when I went to bed, instead of waking myself up in the middle of the night. I dread waking myself up but it would be worth it if it worked....

1- Gross
((I'm not going to describe the events that led up to my lucidity. Believe me, you don't want to hear it. I'll just say that it involves tonsil stones.)) I look in the mirror and decide that I'd better RC for good measure, because this is NOT normal. To my relief, I am dreaming. All I remember is going out in my backyard...

2- Hitler's Reincarnation
A man who is the spitting image of Hitler is doing some experiments on a dreamstone. He is progressively getting crazier and crazier. There are some people that he has locked up, and he is talking to one of them. "I wonder how the stone will react," he murmurs, "when it absorbs all the negative energies from your massacre!" He opens the gates, and the prisoners flood out. Men on horseback come, slaughtering every one of them.


3- DEILD attempt
I am trying to DEILD, but I don't realize that I'm already dreaming. It's too late to even call it a DEILD anyway, 'cause I've already opened my eyes. I am looking at my reflection in a mirror above my bed. She is gesturing for me to come closer. I refuse, telling HER to come closer. She walks out the mirror door, subsequently walking IN my real door. Cool, now there's two of me! ((I'm semi-lucid at this point.)) My reflection doesn't seem to like me that much, but I don't care. I try to think of something interesting we can do, when...

4- Wild Chase
Chris calls me, and I "wake up."

"What is it!?" I yell from my bed.

"Come here!"

He hands me two cookies wrapped up in a piece of paper. He tells me I have to take them to Nathaniel. "Why can't Steven do that?" I ask irritably. "It's his friend." But I go out to the car anyway. For some reason, Jordan's there, and he's in the driver's seat. What's the point of me even going?

We start off down the road. From the talking in the back seat, I conclude that Tony, Eve, Charles, and my brother are with us as well. Why are THEY here?

Jordan is swerving all over the road, and I yell at him to get in his lane. "I can't! I'll hit the pigeons!"

"How can you even see any pigeons!? You don't have your lights on!" While he's trying to find the lights, he swerves off the road and nearly crashes. We come to an abrupt halt. Charlie runs out of the car and pukes all over the road. When he gets back in, I'm about to tell Jordan to let me drive, but he takes off at an alarming speed.

"Slow down, you idiot!!!" Now the cops are chasing us. They're shooting! He manages to get away, and I force him to stop the car. "I'm driving!" I fume angrily. He doesn't argue.

I have another run-in with the cops, but I'm driving a hell of a lot better than Jordan was. They're only chasing me because of his stupidity... But using my new-found super driving skills, I easily evade them. Steven tells me we have to stop at McDonald's to get his friend's burger.

Somehow, I'm on a motorcycle now, and everyone else is just walking around me as I pull up to the drive through. After ordering, I realize that we must have left those cookies in the car...

Conclusion: Samael is right. DC's should never be allowed to drive.

Blue = Lucid
Green = Semi-lucid
Red = Non-lucid

I woke up from a normal dream and didn't move 1 inch so I DEILD'ed without even trying at all.
I woke up in my room, I sitted on the bed and looked around, I saw my older sister and she was being all hyper which was unusuall for her. I knew from the start I was dreaming but I wanted to make sure so I looked at my right hand, it had 5 fingers, I checked my left hand and it had 3 fingers, I closed my eyes and opened them again and it had 5 fingers now. Now I was sure that I was dreaming, after some time my sister exited the room and dissapeared, I couldn't remember at all what she was saying. I stood up and walked a bit around the room, rubbing my hands just to make sure everything stays. After a few moments I started calling out "Yranul!" after my first shout some tiger like creature with weird colors jumped on me and tried to kill me, but I fought back, as I hitted it my hand just went trough it, breaking it into 2 pieces, for some reason it's insides were out of wood, but the creature seemed like it was made from flesh and bones o.o... After defeating it I stood up again and called out again "Yranul!" this time nothing attacked me but I saw a small shadowy creature walking on the already shadowed floor, the room was halfly bright but the floor was dark and shadowy. I picked up the creature that was walking down there and it was a pitch black eevee with black eyes, I took it into my arms and held it like a baby and petted it, it enjoyed being petted. It couldn't talk but it talked to me by showing me signals with it's paws, I can't remember what we talked about besides the last thing. It took some kind of a small book and listed trough it looking for the calendar for 7th month but it couldn't find it, it kept listing and listing looking cofused how it's not there. While it was doing that I kept hearing in my head "Birthday....birthday..." I tought maybe it meanth Noom's birthday so I pointed to 30.1 but it shook it's head and kept on looking, then I tought maybe it meanths it's own and mine so I pointed 29.3 but again it shook it's head. It gave up after some time and went back into my arms and I petted it some more. It dissapeared for some reason and I was transfered into my mom's house into the kitchen and in it were my mom and stepdad, I was semi-lucid at this point. They started shouting at me and kept telling me what a failure I am and looking for any insult they could find. For some reason I couldn't move or anything, I could just sit and watch them scream at me. After some time I was again transfered somewhere else, this time I was in some small store and I was non-lucid. I looked around the store looking what they had, 1 thing caught my eye, It was a box with packings on it saying "lolipops" but inside the packing were regular pencils. I looked confused at them and then I heard 2 girls talking about something. I turned around and one of them was pregnant, she said something about those pencils help her become pregnant. Before I could get even more confused I was again transfered somewhere else, this time outside of a huge mall. I saw a person walking and talking to someone how he got a car on luck games, sold it and made himself a house. Before anything happened I was transfered into the huge mall but I don't remember anything that happened from that point on untill I woke up.

As I woke up I remembered it all for 1 second but I quickly forgot ALOT of it and got a huge headacke and got tired.

Notes :
Yranul - My sub-c or Dream guide
Noom - My love's sub-c or Dream guide
Sub-c and Dream guide are pretty much the same thing as far as I know. xD

And final note :
I have something called mental block and it is causing me not to be able to contact Yranul and it forces out any memory from dreams I am not allowed to have by it's opinion and it also dissallows me to visualise in colors and alot of other stuff but that is not important. xD

Scarping from work in a busy day. (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Fourth dream of the night:

I was working at the Olive Oil store. It was very busy. It was not on Saturday. I know this because there are shows every day outside. During weekdays there is a band with a beautiful flute and the play awesome music. But on Saturdays there are some annoying dancers... I hate them. To bad in this dream they were not present, as I became lucid...

I exited the olive oil store. It was full of people. Some of the stores outside were different than waking. The place was also longer and bigger. I visited a few stores and I remember entering in one and picking a small bottle. It fell to the ground but it did not break. I placed it back on its place.
This store had the counter on the right, two employees behind the counter and a few (three I think) customers. The store lighting was very decent. It was not very full with merchandise though.

My phone rang and it was the card store where I used to play. The store called me asking if I was going to join the pre-release tournament for M11 Core Set. I was not sure if I could make it, but I recalled that I have not much to do for that Saturday.







They asked if I was going to make it for sure. He reviewed my contact information and asked me for a credit card #. I told them I would pay at the store as usual (I was unsure if I would make it) I told them that I might needed to quit the tournament earlier.

I walked around the mall and I became lucid without a specific reason. I felt happy because I was able to finally leave the job at the busiest time without repercusion. I started to fly around a little. I did this because is what I visualize when I do a RC at work. I saw three ladies and I landed next to them. They started to laugh. I started to levitate and they were very surprised. They liked that a lot.
I looked at the scenario were the bands are, hopping the stupid annoying dancers were there to blast them into oblivion. It was empty.

I rememeber about doing the task of the year. I was going to look for a portal to travel to the roman age and fight some gladiators. I felt the dream vanishing so I decided to rub my hands. I have never tried this before, spinning always worked well for me but I heard that rubbing hads was better. As soon as I started rubbing hands, I lost height.

I landed and walked towards a small street with a dead end. I saw a wall with a big and black void:







I decided to go back and meet with the girls that were surprised with me. I planned in talking with them to get more into the dream. They were talking about other stuff and did not see me. I tried rubbing my hands but the dream faded.

I had a false awakening in bed. I felt that one of my eyes was hurt. I could not open my eyes properly. I felt like it I had something in my right eye. I tried to take of my sleeping glasses, but one of the cords was like inside my eye and it hurt me when I moved it. I walked to the kitchen and ask for help to my wife until I woke for real.

July Double ToTM Completion (DEILD)

★★★☆☆

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Keeping still, I perform another WILD. . .

Success!

Without hesitation, I get out of bed and make my way outside. Oddly, there seems to be three doors hinged to my front doorway. Opening all of them, I'm greeted by a shining sun and people all about my court. I pass one guy with a shaved head and notice an orange armband.

"Humans vs. Zombies?" I ask him. He responds by putting his finger to his mouth and shushing me as he runs behind my house to hide. "Weirdo." I mutter when he's out of earshot. There are a bunch of other players scattered about my neighborhood including some of my friends, but I figured HvZ could wait a bit, I had some tasks to carry out.

Deciding to clone myself first, I walk to the middle of my court, do some random hand signs, and shout "Tajuu--Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" I hear the familiar popping noise around me as hundreds of clones are created in a puff of grey smoke. I take a look at them, and sure enough, they're me. However, they're all wearing the same ugly orange blazer and a dirty green headband. Great. I've created a mass of egotistical, fashion-challenged, zombies. Might as well have some fun with them.

Using my mind and a tad of willpower, I force all of them to attack me at once. As they converge I punch the first to reach me in the face, while roundhouse kicking the clone on my other side. I use the the momentum I generate with that to drop to the ground and knock a few clones down by sweeping out their footing. "You're still a Zed now," one of the clones remarked.

"Crap! You're right!" I exclaim, beaten at my own game. Well, then this next bit is for the horde! I think excitedly, willing my hundreds of clones to disperse and tag all the remaining humans. The game was over in less than a minute, which left me time enough to do the basic task as well.

Digging into my pocket, I find my wallet, my car keys, and--there it is--my cell phone. Pulling it out, I open it up and hit send twice. The creepy phone lady informs me that this is not a phone number I'm calling, but some kind of app center. I end the call, and hit send again, scrolling through the list of available names. I notice one contact called 'a human' so I figured I'd go for that one. The phone rings a few times before someone picks up.

"Hello?" a muffled voice on the other end asks.

"Hi! Who is this?"

"It's me, RTN."

"Oh, didn't I see you playing in the game?"

"Yeah, I'm right over here, dummy."

Looking over to the main street I see RTN on his cell phone, accompanied by his girlfriend DTZ. I close my phone and wave over to him, but he's still upset by the shenanigans I had just pulled.

Day 2: No LD's last night, and again, 7 dreams recalled.

The most unclear was something about looking in a freezer... I don't remember what was in it.

(I have 2 bearded dragons in my room, and I occasionally dream about them) The next one, one of my dragons was standing up on its hind legs (something they can't do IRL). It was my smaller one, but in my head I knew it was my bigger one(??). I tried to lay him down but he resisted. I was in my basement, then later another dream I was in my room with him. He tried eating a little piece of styrofoam but I opened his mouth and I think he dropped it.

Another dream I had an extra tank(reptile tank), as I often have the wrong number/size of tanks in my dreams. It was empty, except for a bunch of very large crickets(more things that aren't the right size). I then realized that I had this tank for keeping 3 or 4 baby bearded dragons(not IRL). And that the crickets must have gotten so big because they weren't eaten so they had lived for too long. I couldn't see the baby bearded dragons, and worried they had died or were starving because their food was too big. I put my bigger dragon in the tank and he began eating the crickets. Then my smaller one was out of hers and in this one too(??). The larger one chased her for some reason and I separated them.

I then dreamed I was watching a weird show that my stepdad had put on. I didn't know what it was, but as I looked closer it was an old man on a rocky shoreline. He was trying to protect it or something, and was earth bending to push back the tide and make the land stick out further??

Another fuzzy one: I was in my basement with my pull up bar set up, and asked my friend if she had ever heard of a ______ (I don't remember what I said, just that it was something made up). She thought for a second and said something about a pull-up. I said yes and jumped up to the bar(its easily reachable IRL) and did a weird type of pull up(??)

Then I was in some sort of apartment complex and didn't know who lived there. I entered someone's apartment because I thought a friend had told me to but no one was with me(??) It was small and I didn't look around, but went outside on the walkway(it was the second story). I went up the stairs to the third floor and got on the roof, then down, then back on the roof again. I'm not sure why... I got down and went back into the apartment and the bed was in the main room for some reason, and I contemplated doing a backflip off of it. (I can do them IRL) But then I heard them coming home and I slipped out the back door. I went down and looped around another building, then back to the front of the building, although I should have just left. The door was open and it was my friend, in the same room I was just in except it had moved from the second floor to the ground floor(??). I suddenly had a balloon/stick thing in my hand. It was one of a pair that you bang together at sports games to make noise. I had some about 6 years ago, not sure if they make them anymore. This should have been a dream sign, because it just appeared in my hand. It was his, and I said something weird like, "did you lose this?" so they wouldn't think I had been in their apartment. But then I heard my phone get a text message, and my cell phone and car keys were in his apartment(??). He was laughing but knew I was in there and said, "what did you do?" and then there was a really weird lady there and she said it again, "yeah, what did you do?" and the dream ended.

My final dream was a false awakening, and I started writing down these dreams in my dream journal. I woke up later to see the page blank and started over.

It took me ages to get back to sleep after WBTB, but it was well worth it!

1- Stuck
I am stranded in the middle of the river. This has the potential to not end well... I text both of my parents to let them know where I am, then I text my boss, saying "I might not make it to work tomorrow morning, because I'm stranded in the middle of the river."

I make it out sooner than expected. About an hour later I realize that I have failed to inform my boss of my safety. When I get out my phone, I see that I have a reply from him. It reads, "Your text nearly broke my heart..." Um, okay. It wasn't really that big of a deal...

2- Poodle
I am at the doctor's office, and I notice a poodle walking around. One of the doctors reaches down and pets it, then walks into a different room. Isn't that unsanitary??? I don't normally like poodles, but this one is very friendly. It has a weird habit of chewing on my hand when I pet it, though, just like my RL dog.

3- Talking Squirrels
I walk up to a cage that contains two squirrels. They are arguing over which kind of nut tastes the best: walnuts or pecans. (I vaguely notice a decapitated parrot next to the cage, but for some reason this is never an issue.) What a silly thing to argue about, I think to myself. Maybe if I give them an acorn, they'll agree that it's way better than both of the others. I pick up an acorn off the ground, but before I can even stand back up, an invisible squirrel runs up and steals it from me.

4- Tree Frog
I find an unusual (and extremely cute) tree frog near the stepping stones of my house. As I pick it up, I instantly remember the squirrel dream I had. I make a mental note to write it down later, then start looking for a safe place to put my frog.

5- Showing Off (DEILD)
I feel myself exit SP, but it's still a struggle to open my eyes. RC just to be sure, but I know I'm dreaming. I get up and look around. Everything about my room is as it should be, except for the graffiti-like markings on my ceiling. Interested, I try to read what it says. Basically a fancy to-do list: Wash room, clean laundry, etc. Hm, that sounds sort of backwards.

I walk out and run into my brother. "Hey, wanna see something cool?" I ask him. ((IDK why, but I've always felt the need to show off my abilities to any nearby DCs.)) I stick my hand through the window; the glass melts around my arm, as if liquid. I go all the way through to the outside. "Ha, that's much more fun than using the door!"

Now, time to look for Samael. I walk to the road and call out, noticing that my voice is echoing again. Wonder why it hasn't done that before? ((My problem is that I'm too focused on my voice to pay attention to what's supposed to happen. )) I abruptly wake up.

6- No More Messing Around (DEILD)
I re-enter the dream and decide to be serious this time. Before I make it out of the house, Chris stops me and says I need to get to work on my to-do list. He mentions something about sending a hammer fist into my leg if I don't get it done when I wake up. "Uh, yeah, whatever," I say, walking out. I hope he doesn't turn out to be one of those DCs who hinders me throughout the entire dream...

I walk down the road, thinking about the best method for summoning Samael. I notice that I have gone a bit past Shelby and Taylor's house (which is bright green this time), and I decide to count how many houses are beside theirs to add to my dream map. There's two actual houses, but the second one has three separate buildings to it: The main house, a rather large dog house (or possibly a play house for kids), and a beautiful building made of cobblestone. I walk through their yard, examining things. I vaguely think about trespassing, but it's not like it really matters if I'm caught. This is a beautiful place, I am constantly amazed by my mind's ability to come up with all these little details. I wake up.

7- Portals and Mirrors
I chain back into the dream, but something distracts me and I believe myself to be awake. When I make it to the living room, Chris is there waiting for me. "Remember our deal? You haven't finished your to-do list yet."

"Wait, what? How can you possibly remember that, I was dreaming when you... Wait." I RC and become lucid. "Yay! You made me lucid!" Ignoring whatever he is saying, I go through the window once more and continue my search for Samael. Calling out doesn't seem to be working ((because I wasn't doing it right)) so maybe I can summon a portal. I think about it, and one starts to rise up from the ground. It looks like a large round shadow at first, then it slowly turns more tangible, and then... puffs out of existence.

Oh well, portals have never been my forte. Maybe a mirror would be more useful. I remember one of my first LDs where I used a mirror to travel to outer space. This may be my best chance.

I look around and spot an empty car in the middle of the road. Perfect. I use the rearview mirror and say, "Show me where Samael is. I need to see Samael." A figure starts to appear in the mirror, but then I notice cars coming up behind me. I think getting run over would seriously hurt my chances of success, so I use super strength and push the car out of the middle of the road. Who would park a car in the middle of the road in the first place?

Before I can return my attention to the mirror, I notice two people on motorcycles driving by. On the red bike is a lady with short black hair; on the green bike is a man who looks a lot like... Lucifer. "Hey, wait!" I yell out excitedly, but the noise of their bikes is too loud, they can't hear me. In a split second, they are gone.

More distractions; Now there are a lot of people around, and my brother and his friends are throwing things at me. I ignore this. "Hey, do you know of anyone around here who calls themself Samael or Jack?"

"My last name is Jack," says the boy standing next to my brother.

I sigh. "Well, if you happen to find him, let me know." The dream ends.

IWL
I'd better get up and write this down, before I forget... but my body feels so heavy. I'm still being affected by the SP. I manage to sit up ((which probably never really happened, most likely HI)), then fall back over and go back to sleep.

8- One of those WTF moments
There is a guy lying in his bed, talking to someone about a dream he just had about them. I think he's talking to me, until I hear him say, "At least you let me touch you this time." Okay, that definitely didn't happen in any of the dreams I just had. Who is he talking to?

My vision shifts a bit. I can now see that he is talking to a poster on his wall. The poster is of two male cartoon characters, sleeping together. Or rather, one is asleep, and the other one is talking to the guy. He says something, and the guy laughs. Doesn't he realize that he's still dreaming? I wonder. Does he honestly believe that his poster would be talking to him?

"Good night, boys," the man says to the poster, then turns out the light and goes back to sleep.

Helping a mexican over the phone and getting helped to clone (MILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had a FA awakening in my livingroom. It was pretty similar to my living room, but not excactly the same. I wanted to try to talk with my wife about dreams. I was going to let her know something I dreamed. She also told me she has been lucid in her previous dream I guess lucidity was raising her, talking about dreams, wife becomes lucid (she does rare recall a dream and not interested in becoming lucid) The TV was very loud. I could not hear her at all. I tried to turn down the volume, but it did not went as down as I desired. This is true in waking, our HDTV broke and we had to buy a cheap old TV. Works fine but mute does not work and the volume can't be lovered from a certain point. I turned off the TV, but it would turn on again. This happened a few times and I though, "This is odd" I jumped a couple of times and the gravity was not good. I levitated for a few seconds. So I realized I was dreaming. Yay! I was happy, I was going to beat my own record. I wanted so bad to complete the ToTM on the first night (my record on both previous month was on the 2nd to the 3rd) I walked towards the phone we have in the living room. The phone was on the top of my computer desk. In waking is next to the computer and its nor working as we do not need to pay for it having our cell phones. I picked it up and at the beginning it made no sound. After a few seconds, I could hear the regular "booooooooo" a phone does. However, it would stop and sound again, several times. I said, "Oh well, this does not work well as usual. Let's see who I call." I could not see the keyboard. It was very blurry (the dream was very clear) and I remembered that it was no good to stare stuff, so I just start pressing buttons.

A few seconds passed and I heard a female voice. She was Mexican I think because she was speaking in Spanish. She said something like, "I could have done something about it!!!" She was crying and it appeared she has been badly in tears for a long time. "I could not do it, I could not change it!" I told her it was OK, to not worry about it, to focus on better things. She stopped crying and said, "OK. Thank you! Kisses." I replied, "Kisses" and left the phone (I did not hang up lol) I was happy because the phone was done.

Then I went to clone myself. I tried to to push a clone out of myself. I do not know how to explained, for those who watched dragon ball, is the technique that Piccolo and Ten Shin Han are able to do:







I failed to do it that way. Nothing happened. I then tried to push the arms out of me thinking it would work, but I failed as well. I though, "Well... this is though one. I have to ask for some help." I left my place. My wife was talking but I ignored her. She was a DC after all. I left my apartment without opening the door. I saw a couple of elevators, so I found out it was not my apartment. I felt I was in a skyscraper, however, I preferred to use the stairs... I did not trust the elevators in a dream.

I got quickly to the basement. There was like a restaurant. The tables were round and the lighting was very low. It was almost empty, however, there were some servers. I asked one of them, "Can I use a clone machine? Can you help me?" He said he could not, but referred me to other waiter who could. He approached me. He was bald, about 5'6'' and with a strong build. He said he could help me and adviced me to escort him. We went through the "employees only" door. We walked down some stairs. It was pretty dark, the stairs were tiny and the white walls on each site were dirty.
We arrived to a very dusty and bad lit room. There was an odd round machine with a lot of lights. The closest I find:







He told me to enter the machine. He said, "This time machine will help you out." I though it would be great for some ToTY, but I needed a CLONE machine. I told him, "I need to clone now!" He said, "Do not worry, with this machine, you set the time were you want to travel and the machine will make a clone out of you, the clone will travel, not you." I though, "OK. That works" He closed the hatchet of the machine. It was very very dark and I started to see blurry. I spun to keep in the dream with success. He pressed 30 minutes and I saw a clone coming out of the machine. I started to press different buttons and I heard a noise like, "toc toc toc toc toc toc, burrrrrrrrrrrrprrrrrrrrrrr, toc toc toc" the machine released a few me(s) I did not feel they were in other time, but they were exact copies of me... so success!!!

I instantly had a FA in other house. I was in my bed and I did not see my wife. The TV was on and I called her. She told me it was 11:30 am. I told her she allowed me to sleep that late. She told me, "Well, we wanted a quiet morning, so its cool!" I went to the restroom and did my things. It was raining hard. I was happy because that would mean not so much work at the olive oil store. I asked my wife if it was going to be raining the whole day. She replied, "Yeah. Thunderstorms for the afternoon!" I was happy and I was going to let her know I did the ToTM, but I woke up.

The boat-store with views to the sea and the dessert (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had several False Awakenings and I am unsure about what was dream and what wasn't or if this dream is more than one. I was working at a store. Every time I awoke from a FA, I was lying outsite the boat, like if they threw me outside. It was the Pata Negra store (like my other store in waking life) however, the store itself was bigger and it was inside a big wooden boat. The boat was very old school.
The closest I can find is this:







The boat was a lot taller and wider. The wood was darker. It was sunny and a little windy. The boat was on the water, but it did not move like a boat in port does. It was still like a building.

I was inside, next to a register. I was working with two male co-workers In waking, I work alone at the Pata Negra store, and I only have female co-workers at the Olive Oil store. There was a customer with three bottles of wine to purchase. The register was like Pata Negra's but larger. One of my co-workers suggested the two same bottles and the other co-worker suggested one. I suggested none so I though it removing one of the two same bottles and suggest one by myself to the customer. I said, "Let's recommend a wine each."
I went to the cellar and I only saw three bottles. Everything was very dusty and I could not see well. The quality of the dream dropped a lot here. I trying to grab a bottle and other one fell. I did not find the bottle I was looking for. I wanted to recommend a Ramon Bilbao to the customer:







I co-worked entered the cellar and took a bottle. I told him, "Hey, we do not have Ramon Bilbao left!!!" He ignored me and left the cellar. I found a bottle of Gran Reserva 904:







I told him as he left, "This one is awesome" I could recall that I ordered that bottle thinking I was going to get it as a gift, but it end up I had to pay for it. This is drawn from waking. My wife bosses, went to Spain and we asked them a few things. They brough two things to us, but they did not find these bottle. We though they were going to gift it to us, they are rich afterall and usually when someone goes on vacation, brings stuff to their know people. They ended up charging us for everything, so I am glad they did not find these, as you will see it's price in a few lines.

It was priced as $119, which is the correct price for it. There was a blue squared tag that said, "Warehouse $19.99" I said out loud, "This price is impossible... It's more expensive than that in Spain! It's worth around 70 euro so here it has to be around $90 plus the earnings of the store." I wanted to buy it now that I could afford it, but it was still a lot of money. I though if thet would sell it with an employee discount. I felt bad they brought it to me and I did not buy it.
I was going to put back the bottle in the shelf and I saw myself placing two apples in a rack. I had to break the apples on the bottom so they would get stuck on the shelf and not fall. I accomplish it.
A voice that sounded like my jerk real dad said, "Yeah. Once you come back the apple will be only worms and spoiled. This room is not proper for that... the apple will spoil haha" I was worried that a $119 apple was going to spoil (the wine became the apple)

I had a false awakening and I was outside the boat. I protested because they kicked me out from the boat, but they ignored me. I saw a crowded parking lot and a lady coming towards me. She had a big keychain that said "TrialMartay" The keychain was very big. Some one called her, "Temisclope!" I started to wonder what was going on. I though "Martay is my trial game operator and temisclope is my game operator, I am their super game operator... this is too odd that lady..." I performed a reality check. I looked at my hands but they looked okey. One finger was twisted, but nothing out of normal. I started to pretend I was in a dream like I do in waking. I jumped and floated. I jumped again and started to glide.

I realized I was indeed in a dream. I said, "I knew it... that was too odd to be real." I was flying at a low speed so I gained height. The sky was overcast. It was about to rain. I approached the clouds and felt the cold wind. I realized that it was almost time to wake up because I wrote down the last dream at 7:03 am. I lost height on purpose and landed.

I saw a dessert. The boat and the sea was next to the dessert.







I thought. "Well... I guess the best thing I can do is try again the ToTY. I will visit the gladietors. On my lucid of yesterday, I had little control, but I am fine on this one" I started again to fly, very close to the dessert. I was focusing in finding a coloseum to meet some gladiators. I realized that I had to be in the proper time to succeed. So I had to time travel.

I knew a portal was going to be fine. I put both arms in front of me and concentrated. On my left, I saw a black door appearing from nowhere. I would see a void inside the door. I turned and approached to it at a high speed. The dream started to fade. I though, "No! A little more!" I started to spin very fast, but my dream faded completely. It was time to wake up. Due waking time it was impossible for me to continue the dream. My inner clock always wakes me up.

Wife flirts with other and I set him into oblivion (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I am unsure if I might call this a nightmare. This is the only type of nighrmare I might get once every three-four months (it is not recurring, as the scenario changes always) However, on this one I did not feel as bad as I would on others, in addition of turning lucid (low control however) and... well... read the dream!

I was in a mall with my wife. We had to do some purchases at the mall. My wife was not as warm and talk active as she use to be, she was deep on her thoughts. We purchased an icecream:







I was holding the icre cream. I could feel it cold in my hand. Suddenly, both my wife and I have the following conversation:

- If you want do finish our purchases, I am going to meet with a couple of guys - My wife said.
- Friends? What friends? - I replied.
- Some I met over the Internet, I want to meet with them. - She said.
- How come? Where? - I asked.
I was very suprised. I knew that my wife never does such a thing, so I was wondering why this was the first time.
- Some friend I met, I told you. Over the internet. These guys defended me against some machist people. - She said.
- Oh... OK. It's fine. How long it was since you start talking with them? Are they from any of our meetup groups? - I asked.
My wife started to act nervous. She had this face when she is hiding a feeling from me. My third eye reads easily the feelings of people, so it can never be fooled in real life.
- Not so long ago - My wife said.
I was worried she was going to get into trouble. Meeting with two guys online, alone, I was afraid that something would happen to her if she went alone by herself.
- Do you want me to go with you? - I asked.
- No. I am fine. Do not worry - She replied nervously.
I was more nervous, as I knew something was very wrong.
- Since exactly do you know this guy? - I asked.
I do not recall exactly the time she said, but I know it was since a few hours only.
- And how come are you meeting with him? Don't you know that you can get rapped? - I said in a greater voice.
- I won't - she replied.
I had a worse feeling about this, so I asked - You do not have a crush on him, do you? - I asked.
My wife remained silent, and then spoke - No... - Said without confidence.
I knew what just happened. - Tell me the truth! Promise it! - I requested.
- No. I do not like him - She replied without promising it to me.
I just knew what happen. However, for some odd reason, I did not feel bad.
My wife started to walk away and I stopped her next to a travel agency. There was a female associate dressed professional. I could see daylight throughout a window.

I kept discussing with my wife, in front of the associate. I cannot recall well the discussion but we both got really mad and the associate said, "Curse the love."

I had a false awakening in my car. I was feeling oddly, thinking about the dream I just had. I suddenly realized, "What I am doing in my car? I was just dreaming!!! This is not right. I looked into my hands. They looked very blurry but they were wrong. "I knew it!", I said. I got out of my car. It was getting dark now. I looked into the sky and it was clear with a few clouds. The overall quality of the lucid was low. Usually, with a though I control the dream, but not this one. I remember some people requesting the dream changes, so I shout, "Clarity! Now!" a few times. The quality increased, but not as near as it always does with just a though.

I saw a pile of mattresses.

matresses

I though I could do one of the ToTY and that would make 3 out of 7. I approached the mattresses and tried to open a portal. I was thinking, "Dinosaurs... Not wait, I have done that! Mmmmmm... gladietors... yeah, that one!" Surprisely, it failed. I was surprised because I never have walls in my own lucids, so I though that I was not deeply lucid like I use to be. I though that the portal was invisible so I jumped agains the mattresses but I bounced back. While I was trying to create the portal, I heard two laughters. It was my wife laying on the grass with other guy. Both were laughting and having fun.

I though I would have some fun, as the lucid was not high quality I could only use it just for fun. My wife saw me and stopped playing with him. He stood up and approached at me with hostility. I said, "Who the hell are you?" He said he was going to kick my ass.
My wife advised me he was very strong. I looked at my wife and thinked, "You are just a stupid DC trying to fool with the image of my wife..." I rose my hands to show her I knew it was a dream. My thumb was missing and my smile grew.

I said, "I will kick yours with a finger." He started to punch me and did not hurt a bit. I could not defeat him with a finger... my control was not perfect as usual. So I fought normally. I was owning him. We were fighting now inside a store. He was lying in the floor. I rose my hands planning to blast him.
I created a Death Ball







It did not get as big as I desired, but the guy was running fast, so I just threw it. The ball followed him and hitted him. It did not cause an enourmous explosion, but he was gone. Satisfied, I woke up.

Bees (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had a false awakening. I was outdoors. I saw a bee that almost stung me. My wife was asleep and I saw a bee over her. However, the bee was wrapped with plastic so I knew it was not going to sting her.

There was also a giant bee flying around. I was afraid because it was big. We were now indoors and I saw that my dad (the cool one) shot the bee. The bee crashed in the wall. The big was about one foot big.







I felt calm that the bee was gone, however, the windows were open and we were in the middle of the country. I was afraid other bee as big would come in.

Dinosaurs Sudden Death (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Six and last dream of the night. This one fully lucid, but the dream wanted badly to fade. I completed one of the tasks of the year

I was in the interior of a building. The floor was dark black and the walls were darkwood color. The building was almost empty. I felt that the dream started to fade The time I recorded last dream, I was about to wake up for this one. I saw the image vanishing and I realized that if the imaged faded, it would be a dream, so I spinned to recover the dream. I noted some bathrooms at the end of the building. I saw a very hot Dream Character half naked, I felt really tempted but the dream tried to fade before so I did not want to put it at risk. I knew I would wake up if I had sex with her.

I remembered to do the task of the year. I also remembered some personal goals, but that would require me to talk with DC and I was afraid to wake up if I did. I wanted to keep moving fast to avoid premature waking.

My dream started to fade again, so once more, I spinned to recover it. I also did a few reality checks, all of them failed. I had twisted fingers and the thumb in the wrong place. After this, the dream tried to fade once more, so I spung and recovered it.

I wanted to do the ToTY fast. I went to the end of the building and saw a dead end. I decided to open a portal that it would bring me to the dino era. I rose my hand and a black vortex appeared on the wall. It was dark, like a wormhole.







I jumped in, it was dark and I was afraid my dream would fade, so I keep spinning as I was traveling inside the vortex. I saw a rainforest under my feet. It was sunny. My dream started to fade again. I spinned more to stablelize it. It did. Now I was inside the rainforest. I saw several dinosaurs around me. I looked at the sky and I saw a fireball coming very fast. It was a meteorite!







A second later, it hit the ground. The whole forest was turned into ashes. I also saw several dead dinosaours. I realized I completed my 2nd task of the year and I was ready to wake up and finalize the dream (afterall, my dream was trying to end anyway) I remembered the hot DC of before, so I said, well, why not.
I summoned her, and she appeared. She had black long hair and she had a pefect body. She wore blue shrink to fit jeans. She was gorgeous. I pulled down her pants and found out what I had to find (most of you know) I was glad and I had sex with her. The dream faded instantly, however, I had the right amount of time to finish.

I had a false awakening. I was at the Pata Negra store. It was a different store, not the real one. I wanted to go to the other room to write down my dream. When I was about to leave, the phone rang. I was worried I would forget the lucid. The phone rang with the same sound that the real phone in the store does. It was my boss. He said something about two new interviews for the restaurant. I could not understand him. I asked him to repeat a couple of times, but I was not able to understand him. I said, "Javier, I can't understand you, this phone is doing funny stuff, can you come to the store and tell me?" She replied, "Sure."

He came to the store and explained to me, "I am going to do two interviews for two potential employees for the restaurant, so do not go to the next room" I was frustated and though if writing the dream on my phone would be worth it. My boss kept saying, "I also have a group interview in a couple of hours. It was Jaime's idea!" (In waking, I do not know who is Jaime) "I think is great to spot but employees and get rid of them!"

I asked my boss, "This has nothing to do with me, right?" He replied, "No, no, no, no. It's just for the restaurant. I told you many times that I am very happy with you, I trust you a lot and I do not want you to leave. Do not even think about that. It's just the restaurant's business." I felt good for his kind words and woke up.

Wine tasting at a Chinesse restaurant. (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Third dream of the night, I might had a split second of lucidity here, but I do not want to claim it as lucid, as it was very short.

My wife bosses wanted to go on a date night so she had to work. I did not feel like wasting another night at their place, so I decided to go somewhere on my own.
I went to a chinesse restaurant.







I entered the restaurant. The decor was like the typical chinesse restaurant. Red and golden furniture, chinesse letters, dragons, etc. All the employees were not chinesse though.
I was next to the host stand. I felt it was a little pathetic to go on my own on a Friday night, but I knew the reason of it. In front of me there were a couple. They were seated and the host left with them. I was planning to ask for a table for one. While the host was gone, I saw a computer were they ring their transactions and charge their credit cards. There was a waiter with a credit card in his hand and he triggered a program called, "Easy Debit Card" It was very unique and simple.
I know how to program, so I made with Visual Basic the shell of the software I dreamed with, it looked exactly like this:







The waiter handed me a debit card and explained to me the reason of their $45 charge, however, I said that it was not my credit card.
I noticed they offered a free wine tasting, so I wanted to enjoy one. So I decided to sit in front of a bar. It was like a table, but larger.
The waiter (we got along very well) explained to me how would the tasting work. While I was sitting there, another waiter said, "Champagne per le Sire?" I replied, "No thanks." He had a Don Perignon bottle so I knew it was going to be extremely expensive if I accepted.

The waiter placed in front a bottle of wine and a glass. He invited me to read the label and the tasting of the wine before. I replied I was actually planning to do so. I can't recall what the label said. I was worried because they were very nice with me and I had no cash for tips. Only I debit card. I planned to ask the waiter if he could charge my credit card for $10 with the Easy Debit software and make them their tip. For an odd reason, I also drank water and blended water with the wine. I felt terrible because such think was very noobish. I would not do such a thing during a wine tasting. For a while they did not bring me more wine to taste, so I knew it was due my noobish behavior.

Some of the waiters sat in a table next to mine and started to eat. All the food I saw was made entirely from raw veggies. Some where chopper and some where salads, but no protein at all and no chinesse stuff.

My real dad (who is a jerk, I wish I was really lucid when I saw him mhuahahah) appeared. I was not happy about it. I wanted to try luck and request from cash for him. I want to try to be his friend hopping he would open his hand a little bit. I warned him I was in a dream. If I vanished or fainted, it just meant I woke up in real life. This is the split second of lucidity. I got reabsorved by the dream. Unsual for me, so I blame the dry spell My dad said,"So, something to share?" He was smiling stupidly. I knew he wanted me to say that I was all alone. I replied, "My wife is working tonight, that the reason I am alone." The woman merried to my dad was also with us. He pointed to a pendant I wear and asked, "What is that thing anyway?" I replied, "It's a pendant from my wife's mom who passed away, so some respect." He laughed at me. His wife got mad with him and told him, "I have something similar as well, you know?" I poked my dad, laughing at him and said, "You screwed!"

After this I had a false awakening. I told my wife about what happened but I got interrupted by a text message on my wife's phone. Ana read out loud the text and said, "It's from Marta. She sais - Mr Euro-dollar is the one who does not want kids, not me." Marta is my real-jerk-dad's wife.
My wife told me that I was going to meet with them today and they would explain to me. I told my wife that I was not sure, that I only dreamed with them. She said, "Well, they were dreaming too!" I was excited and though, "I have to share at DV. What a massive triple Dream Sharing." I woke up.

Writting down my dreams (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had a little pain last night, I did feel a little of nausea and I think it affected my dream recall. I woke up two times knowing I was dreaming but as soon as I opened my eyes to get ready to write it down, it just would vanish. I could recall one lame last dream. I was not going to write it down here, but I will so I keep track of my best and worst moments.

I had a false awakening in my bed. I suddenly remember two dreams I had during the night and I wrote them down. I felt happy because I knew I forgot those dreams and I ended up recalling them. I woke up.

From the previous dreams I can barely recall something:

- Driving.
- A car that was not mind.
- Two ladies.
- One lady.
- Something bad was going on with the two ladies.
- The one lady wanted to accomplish something.
