    False Awakening

    1. Ambiguous RCs and False Memories (NLD)

      by , 01-08-2015 at 04:38 AM
      I was stressed about work. How am I going to complete all the obligations piling up this month, which is already getting shorter? I figured it would be best to prioritize. I should be able to finish the map in an afternoon if I get the right materials together. I thought about what I would need to finish it, and came up with vellum and archival paper. Fortunately I knew I already had these somewhere and was pretty sure where I had last put them, in a box in the storage area. I could see it in my mind's eye. I had woken up early and wanted to go retrieve them, but the rest of my family was still asleep.

      My mother, brother, and father were all staying with me in the house and I didn't want to disturb them by walking through the building and rummaging around in boxes. I decided to go outside for a walk instead. I walked down the stairs, which were littered with all the discarded santa masks. This struck me as odd at first, but I reasoned we must have had a holiday party yesterday.

      Outside it felt like early morning, and there was a narrow stream of clear water nearby. Next to the stream was a small building of naturally weathered wood, a sort of shed. Just after I entered it, it occurred to me that even though I know I'm awake, I should practice some RCs to instill good habits. No one else was around and there was no reason not to do a blatant one, so I jumped. Yes, just as I thought, it's obvious I'm awake, because that felt perfectly normal. But just for good measure I should do it a few more times in order to internalize the feeling of what a proper jump feels like in waking life.

      So I jumped in the air several times in succession, concentrating on that critical moment at the apex, when the upward motion reverses and gravity takes over. I knew that I would be able to tell if I were dreaming because the timing would be off, that moment would feel drawn out slightly, extended. Hmmm.... it isn't, is it? Was that a touch of hesitation at the top? No, I'm pretty sure this is natural. I've just never concentrated on it sufficiently before, my attention is making it seem more pronounced.

      And yet... it does seem a trifle too long. Could it be...? What if...? I had just begun to seriously consider the possibility that I might be dreaming after all, when I woke up in bed. Only very slowly did I come back to myself and realize that all the things I had taken as evidence that I was awake were wrong or askew, signs of false memory. The building and surroundings that seemed so familiar at the time were pure dream space, unlike any place I know in waking life. It made sense at the time that my whole family was there, but the only accurate part is that I'm currently sharing a hotel room with my mother. The anxiety about work is real enough, but it was only well after I had written down my initial notes that I realized that in the dream I had felt responsible for an additional project that didn't exist in WL, in addition to the real ones. Finally, as I initially lay in bed reviewing the dream, I didn't even notice how I slipped back briefly from genuine waking into an FA, and briefly found myself another place entirely, which only transitioned again to lying back in bed once I reached the point where I felt I had enough grasp of the memory to get up and write.

      by , 01-08-2015 at 03:54 AM (Inner World حلم Gamma Waves)
      I was in my father room and became lucid when going up against a man. He was extremely small and had found himself trap between my fingers. Another person watching, ask me how long I could stay lucid. I told him usually not long. I continue to say that it could be longer if I didn't have to put a lot of focus during the meditation. He then said oh and smirk about how well I had been handling my opponent. I then suggested to the guy that I will gain lucidity again before waking up. I didn't enjoy how low the quality has been in this dream.

      The guy who had been trap between my fingers escape with only his head alone. He had a sadistic smile but I could tell he could do no harm at all. I pick him up and slam his head on the bed in order to make him unconscious. He however regain consciousness and soon began laughing. He also has long hair so I grab it and it and started spiraling his head around, till I toss his head to a wall. This time he became unconscious. I could hear one guy yelling at me about what has happened. I close the door and became non-lucid.

      I walk up the stairs and saw my brother and mom. Then I saw another guy who had my name on his shirt. My brother told me he and I had the same name. We debated about whether it was partially spelt different or was it the same. I got a closer look and confirmed to everyone that it was my name. Then we all got in to the car with our father to go to a store. As the car was moving, I notice a man running while on the driving lane. I laugh because he became his own car since he was very fast. My father notice this guy and decided to park next to him.

      We all got off and combine down a broken stair way. I then leap a huge drop but landed on another stair. I had to jump one more time which almost made me land on another person. After getting all the way down I started wandering off in till my father told me it's this way as he pointed to the far north. I turn my head and realize it was done. As the sensation occurred, I transported myself in to father room and became lucid. The lights were off, I began to try to get up from the bed however I started feeling sharp pain all over my body.

      I then waited to adjust and got off from the bed. I went over to the lights while saying I am aware that I am in a dream. I attempted to turn on the lights but it did not work. I then open the front door but heard a loud screeching yell and closed it for now. When I close the door it echo around the room almost as if I slam it. I went over to one of the windows and notice the house was high up in the skies. I then lunge up on the bed and look at what was inside the top bunk bed. However I found nothing strange. I went over to the front door and open it.

      I enter the living room and saw there was a huge poster picture of a city in the afternoon. I proceeded to the kitchen and then to the back door. I open it but for a second the door would not budge any further. After managing to open the door I notice the house outside look much more older as if I was in the early 1900's. It seem to be a bright morning and I saw a trail I could begin following. As I kept going to the high fields I reminded myself that I am in a dream. I drop the two items that I notice have been in my hands this entire time. I turn back around and felt this immediate response that I will wake up. The entire place froze and I woke up. Lucidity Time: 6 minutes.

    3. Enormous Skating OST + DA (2) DILDS

      by , 01-06-2015 at 01:26 AM (Inner World حلم Gamma Waves)
      I was in a grocery store checking each section. My father and I were searching for something rare and I pointed to this blue small orb that we found on two counters. After I bump through a lot of people and eventually decided to leave on roller skates. I race down one lane before making a u turn. It seem very sunny and I was heading in a one way road with two huge woods on each side. That's when an earth quake happen which knock one person ahead of me. I kept going in till another massive one happen that knock me down completely.

      I tried to get up and notice another person in roller skates pass me. I quickly got up and follow her, telling her to wait up just in case if she knows why this is happening. However the other roller skater would not wait, but I manage to catch up. That's when another earth quake happens where she was lunge up 9 feet in the air and knock her head to the ground first. The side of her head was bleeding rapidly and then a van that appeared as an ambulance came. I wonder if they showed up due to the earth quakes that were happening. But before I could go on, I realize I was dreaming.

      I look at my surroundings and notice another skater in a green helmet came and saw what happen. He quickly appear to be shock. I went over to the injured roller skater to check her pulse. She was dead and cold, I got up and notice no one was driving the ambulance when it had arrived. That's when I had an FA, I appeared in the room with the lights off. I had something automatically chewing in my mouth. I realize I must still be dreaming as I could still hear the loud pulsing. I turn my head and could see that the room appeared much wider than before. That's when I lost lucidity. Lucidity Time: 4 minutes

    4. First lucid in 2 weeks.

      by , 01-05-2015 at 09:13 AM
      (I went to sleep in a car on the way out of state.)
      I dreamt woke up in my bed at night, the room was exceedingly bright even though in my heart I knew it was night time. I did the hand RC and my fingers were growing in weird angles.

      ************************************************** ****Que: Lucidity****************************************** **********************
      I took a moment to observe how I think while dreaming and found it shockingly similar to waking life, I had lucids before but none had ever come to this level of clarity. I live in the basement so it came as a shock when I opened my door and came out on the front lawn. I walked through a town that looked nothing like mine and explored the world around me(especially touching the concrete walls and looking at how much detail they had). I walked to my high school and found out that it is in the same relative location as waking life which was weird since i did not recognize anything else. Standing at the corner to drive into the student parking lot was my dream guide Morpheus(Aren't I lucky?). He ushered me into the school and said that he could not follow. I explored the school and to my surprise I had my school laptop by my side without ever remembering to bring it. Then a tall fat kid came and tried to bully me by stealing it. I felt the emotional response of rage even knowing that this was a dream, and so I grabbed him, and ate his soul dementor style(sans kiss thankfully there was SOME distance). I explored some more and found an abandoned janitors closet, at this point shit went down and all the lights in the school dimmed to a dark red and blood painted the walls. Instantly I thought of the demo to silent hill P.T and my subconscious (bless/curse its soul) decided to go with my expectations and made a baby cry in the closet(I could only see through a crack in the doorway. I then heard my dreamguide's voice saying "I know the only me is me, are you sure the only you is you?" I thought wryly to myself My subconscious and I are the same and different, and the only you is NOT you since you are a part of me. I turned around to fast to walk in the other direction and found myself in an accidental scene change. Now my friend Jacob sat in a dark office with me but he was different. He had sharklike teeth and pure black eyes. I rolled mine and said "Now what the fuck are YOU supposed to represent." "I am everything you hate about yourself." he replied darkly. That confused me as there was nothing similar between me and my friend from school but I had just got off the phone with him when I dozed off so maybe that was it. I was like "Hah no I don't have the time to deal with nightmares, you do realize this is MY dream right? I can obliterate you with just a thought." He grinned challengingly at me and I found my powers not working. I laughed at the audacity of my subconscious and overpowered it through aggressive control if passive would not do it. I went into tiger stance like Udyr from league of legends laid the smack down hard. After I was finished pummeling him I went out of the school and walked on the road out of town, thinking about philosophical questions, deep meanings, and the nature of my reality that was around me. Eventually I woke up and opened my laptop to write this down.
    5. Showing an Energy Ball to a Friend in a LD, and an OBE gone Wrong (Dec 30, 2014)

      by , 01-03-2015 at 03:46 AM
      I don’t know how or why I became lucid in this dream, but I was visiting with my close childhood friend Glen, in what looked like a public lounge area. There were several tables and couches, each tucked away in private sitting areas. People were everywhere, sitting around and chatting with each other. Glen and I were standing near a partition wall, separating us from a group of people who were sitting around a table.

      I started thinking about an energy ball I created in a LD (dream journal entry: Kamehameha - My first Energy Ball) some time ago, and I wanted to show my friend Glen, mostly to show off, but also to see if there’s something that can be done with this little ball of energy. Does it have a purpose? I cupped my hands together and focussed, and then a ball of soft white light, about the size of a grapefruit, appeared. I focussed harder (I think I even growled), and then the light turned to a transparent blue, full of hundreds of bolts of electricity, and about the size of a volleyball. It kind of looked like a plasma lamp, less the glass sphere. One of people on the other side of the partition wall stood up and peered over the wall to take a look at what was going on, and then quickly sat back down when I looked to see who it was. My friend Glen just stared at it with astonishment, and he was reaching for it (I was also taken back by what was going on). Bolts of blueish white electricity were now licking around my fingers and up my wrists. I looked at Glen, and asked him if he wanted it, and he said, “Yes!” I was lucid, but I didn’t want to experiment with him by handing him this ball of energy. So I said, “Sorry, I’m going to keep this.” Then the ball collapsed and absorbed back into my hands. There were little flashes of dim, reddish light, which resembled embers in a fire, as the energy went back into my hands.

      Glen then stood up and walked away from me. I stood up and followed him, and I was asking him to stay. He seemed like he was sleep walking or something, and was no longer coherent. I put my hand on his shoulder to stop him, and then he became alert again. We casually chatted as we walked around the room. Then we came across another childhood friend, Donny, who was sitting at a table with several people. He was young again, and had long blonde curly hair, just like when we were kids. I couldn’t believe it. I turned back to tell Glen that Donny was here, but Glen was gone, so I turned back to Donny and said, “Donny, do you ever look good! You’re young again!” Donny shook his head up and down, smiled and said, “Yeah.” It was so cool to see him in his youth again. Anyway, I then remembered my mission to heal my son’s plantar wart while lucid, so I was going to ask for my daughter and son to join me, but then everything went dark. Darn! I started to swirl to regain lucidity, but I went right into an OBE instead of an LD. Holy crap, I was somebody else’s bed! I always appear in my bed during an OBE, not somebody else’s!

      I was lying on my back, in this strange room, and there was a metal trash can between my legs, which was cold and uncomfortable. I sat up in bed and reached into the trash can, and it was full of wet Kleenex. Yuck! I jumped out of bed and looked around, and realized the bed was in some sort of suite or recreation room area. Little balls of Kleenex were scattered throughout the ‘L’ shaped room. Somebody has obviously been doing a lot of crying. At the far end of the room was a pool table, and I could see the outline of a woman who was almost invisible, but I could make out her silhouette against the glass patio doors. She was wearing high heel boots. I thought maybe she was my daughter, so I walked up to her. Not! She started to totally freak out and scream at me, like I was some sort of boogieman. I immediately kneeled down and bowed to her, to show I was safe, but she grabbed a handful of pool balls and threw them at me. I felt the balls hit me, but it didn’t hurt, and they passed right through me. The woman then turned and ran out the patio doors onto a large concrete patio area with lots of plants. The deck was about 50 feet by 50 feet, and was high end, extremely fancy and modern. Huge downtown buildings, with reflective glass siding, towered everywhere. The woman was now visible, and she was a beautiful young Asian. I then decided to follow her out onto the patio, but I stopped at the doors, because she was pointing at me and screaming. She was yelling at me to leave, and that her dad was coming. I said, “It’s okay.” I felt really bad at this point, my vision faded and went dark, and then I woke.

    6. Another River DA + DEI + DILD

      by , 12-31-2014 at 05:05 AM (Inner World حلم Gamma Waves)
      I found myself in my 4th grade classroom and everyone task in it were to pick up as many chocolates as possible. I manage to find a couple of good ones on a tree bark and place them in my hoodie. I then ate one that was crumbled up and was soon stop by a student. The student wanted to show me the pan of fried caramel he had. A few students including myself back up from the student holding the frying pan. I decided to place one of my fingers on to it and quickly I took it off. I then walk over to my assign seat. I notice the kids I was seating next to were having their hands to their bags waiting for the bell to go off.

      I try to pack my things quickly and that is when it ranged. All the students got up and ran. I and some others decided to stack up everyone chair before leaving. I am walking in the hallway and drop my light blue pencil. I went to pick it up and notice that I had pass my 4th grade teacher. I turn around to say later, she tells me bye. I kept walking to the end of the hallway toward the double doors, wondering why she chose the word bye. I open the doors and pass a few student which made me drop my black hoodie.

      I went over to pick it up and walk toward the bus stop. I began thinking it's odd that I am older and yet still I attend my 4th grade classroom. The scenario for the bus stops made me realize I am dreaming. I began walking over to a broken wooden ledge, with a huge hole to the ground. I pass over to the next wooden ledge and could hear two people arguing somewhere. I would later find out that was the television my father was watching. I enter a wooden cabin and I pick up a long nicely crafted wooden pole. Then I saw a door filled completely in a white light.

      I assume this is where all the noise was coming from. I enter in it and had an FA. Lucidity Time: 23 seconds.
    7. First False Awakening

      by , 12-31-2014 at 12:13 AM
      12/30/14 non-lucid dreams:

      *throughout the night I have recurring thoughts of RCs, but don't remember conducting one*

      S asks if I've had any dreams. The room is dark. He keeps asking me and I finally snap that I was trying to reenter a dream to become lucid, but he's interrupted me. The dream I'm trying to reenter is me sitting at a table outside (maybe a cafe?) and I walk over to where W (a dog) pooped on the sidewalk and try to melt his poop with invisible energy from my hand. Before accomplishing this I "wake" up to S asking me if I've had any dreams.

      Earlier...S and I are driving around looking for Publix. I have a hard time remembering/finding where it is. For some reason I pass up a lot of good parking spaces for one that isn't as good as the others. We are going to pay for things with a giant bag of fertilizer. I get the impression this is vaguely illegal and dangerous. When we get out of the car two men ask if they can have some of the fertilizer and we tell them no. We walk up to a building with our bag and enter. It looks like a shabby mom and pop bookstore, but it's actually a library/museum. There is an audio recording playing of someone talking about history. I tell S we should go. Someone (or is it a something - automaton?) implores me to stay and visit. I end up saying I don't like to listen (meaning I'm bad at absorbing info aurally). We leave and I think we then get groceries at Publix. It's for a Boxing Day party at work (totally don't celebrate this lol!). I see the director as I come out and tell hello and that I'll see her at the work party. She corrects me and says she'll see me ___ (sometime after the party since she won't be here).

    8. Help me figure this out please!

      by , 12-29-2014 at 11:44 PM
      I am a 15 year old female . I have a boyfriend named Terry, and we have been together for about 10 months. Last night a had a dream that i did not like at all!

      I was at school with my boyfriend,Terry, me and him do not go to the same school in real life though. In the dream i was in my third hour class (social studies) i had him in that class but i couldn't find him through the whole hour. After the period ended i waited for him outside. While waiting a guy i knew in elementary school who also goes to my current school starts talking to me;Greco. In the dream though he looked completely different, his teeth were black almost falling out he was taller than usual and he talked different. Terry saw that he was talking to me and i was talking to him back, I was able to see myself from his eyes! i felt his anger too. Then i turned around i saw him staring he looked angry but yet he was about to cry. Seeing him like that made me tear up and feel like somehow i betrayed him. I ran after him calling his name once i caught up he didn't talk or walk anymore. I asked him what happened and he just quickly walked into his next class. I followed him determined to figure out what was wrong. He was talking to a girl, one i've never seen before with his eyes watery. I grabbed his arm and slowly pulled. My goal was to get him out of the room to talk it seemed like he was actually going to come outside with me but instead he slapped my hand and sat at a nearby desk. I looked back at him he didn't want to look at me. I left the room crying , i stayed outside his class just crying. At one point he realized i was crying and walked out of the classroom. The only thing he said to me was "im aloud to leave the class whenever so it's okay." Suddenly two of his friends appeared they all walked me to class but Terry did not say a word to me he just continued to talk to his friends with his arm around me. Then time in the day passed and it was time to go home. I left the classroom ten minutes early along with my friend Perla. We were outside playing soccer (We both are soccer players) then she tells me shes going to go use the restroom she never came back so i left to the buses and there she was waiting for it. i got mad at her for a second . Then the bus came and as i was waking in she quickly turned into my other friend Itzel . I was still a little mad at her then i saw Terry's best friend; Frankie. Since he was also my friend i sat with him on the bus. He looked at me in a strange way. This is the weird part. I heard noises coming from his backpack so i got closer to it. He asked me what i was doing and i told him. Then after a few seconds of silence he said "Dude smell my shirt it smells really good!". The area he was pointing to was an area between his shoulder and neck. As i was going in to smell it all i could think was "Please don't kiss me,please don't kiss me." Then the first thing he does was kiss me. The kiss was a really passionate one too. In my head i saw and felt like i was kissing Terry so i kissed him back. He slowly laid me down i opened my eyes and pushed him off. I couldn't believe what i did, i was devastated i felt sick but yet he still kissed me once more. Again i kissed him back. I stopped him again and asked him why. He then old me it was all going to be okay that he would ask TERRY'S mom to marry us !! Nothing made scene to me! All of a sudden i woke up but i knew i was still dreaming. I was on a bed with my hands on my tummy, pregnant with Frankie at my side and Terry's mom marrying us. She called me a bunch of nasty names making me fill up with anger and tears. Then i gave birth, the baby came out looking exactly like Terry but girl version. Frankie automatically loved her. We named her Terresa. I did not see Terry throughout the whole rest of the dream. Apparently we lived happily ever after.. well he did .

      Can somebody what this all could have meant? One thing i forgot to mention in real life me and Frankie don't talk the last time we talked was before me and Terry started dating. Thank You.

      I found myself place in the garage with the lights off, trying to get the music on there to work properly. However it wouldn't work. then out of no where the lights turn on by themselves and I began to get this strange feeling like I was not the only one in the garage. Then the chair started flashing frequently, while I began to feel weightless. The sensation got stronger till I was beginning to float up from the ground and felt as if there was some force. That's when I became lucid due to the circumstances and realize I was floating.

      I had some degree of control over it now and made myself stay in mid air. I then roared similar to dragon ball z to see the extent of how much control I had over it. I could hear my screaming echo from the house in till I lost the force that was holding me up and quickly drop to the floor. Hitting my head first knock the poor amount of lucidity I had. I then got up and tried to make the music come on again, to where it finally work. Not long after that I have an FA. Lucidity Time: 6 seconds.
    10. Backlog, 12/24: "Dezz Asks a Question," "Making Kitten T (not) Fly"

      by , 12-25-2014 at 11:09 PM (Threecat's Dreamtime)
      6:30 AM: SinisterDezz has a question about LDing. He posts in the forum, and uses a box of black tiles with his question written on it as an accompanying picture. The forum warns him that this picture is creepy, and not to post it, but he does anyway. NyxCC answers his question. Dreamer shows up as well, but can't remember much else.

      In this same dream sequence, there is a machine that can cause a person to both LD and AP. I reason in the dream that the machine really does not need to send a soul anywhere to WILD (odd meta moment). During the AP, the soul bounces around in a triangular part of the machine (I drew a cryptic picture in my DJ, posting it would really not help much). Seth Rogan also shows up in this dream as the Green Hornet (a movie I have never seen). I
      wake up, feeling close to an LD. I MILD and then return to sleep.

      I am in bed. I pretty blonde girl is asking me all sorts of questions about how she looks. As she asks these questions, she is showing more and more skin--pulling up her shirt, putting a foot on the bed so I can see her legs, and finally spreading her legs above me. I suddenly begin to wonder if this is a dream. I close my eyes and nose pinch. Hmm. I lie here breathing, and thinking of goals. Ah yes, wanted to play with kitten T. Now I am in darkness., even after opening my eyes. I sweep the "hair" out of my eyes and the scenery returns. The blonde girl is gone now, and I head downstairs.

      I find kitten by the sliding glass doors, watching outside. I scoop her up and try phasing through the wall. I am going through easily but kitten is getting stuck. I duck down, see the opening in the wall, and tunnel out.

      Outside, I want kitten to fly so I throw her into the air. She definitely falls on the pavement, and pretty hard (her legs splay out from the impact). I have a twinge of discomfort, as I would not want to hurt my real life cat this way, but reason that this is just a dream, and throw her into the air again. Same result, except this time, after standing up, she turns into a tiny black beetle and flies away. I decide to do some flying myself. I try a couple of times (no success) and
      wake up.
    11. Backlog, 12/22: "Lucid in the Mall #2"

      by , 12-25-2014 at 10:29 PM (Threecat's Dreamtime)
      A vivid NLD of me playing an arcade game with my wife (similar to something like Double Dragon, back in the day, but with a Golden Axe flair). The joysticks are old-fashioned (plastic and stiff). The game screen slowly becomes more panoramic and immersive, so that I seem to be right on top of my character, watching fight an enemy. I wake up from this, and then DEILD. The transition rolls me over several times. Unfortunately, I do not remember what happened in this dream but I wake up, and DEILD again. The transition is once again the same (rolling across the mat) except this time I fall out of anonexistent bed and onto the floor. I sit for a moment. Am I asleep? I nose pinch.With lucidity comes a raging hard-on. I imagine some beautiful woman appearing in the bedroom. She does not show up, so I go in search of her. The doors to the bedroom are folding closet doors. I phase through them. I pass through the wood, but my body doesn't want to go through the metal hinges. Now I am dragging a set of closet doors with me as I walk through what looks like a dark, empty shopping mall. I break the metal joints apart, and more continue to form (there end up being like seven hinges) but I finally break all of them and get the doors off of me. Now where would a beautiful be? I walk down the thoroughfare for a bit, and then turn and head back the way I came. On my left is a store with closet doors as the outside walls. I walk a ways, thinking I will find the entrance. Just more closet door-walls. I think to myself that these doors could go on forever when I wake up.

    12. Backlog, 12/20: "Not my TV" and MILD: "Oh yeah, this is a dream"

      by , 12-22-2014 at 08:09 PM (Threecat's Dreamtime)
      Lying in bed, trying to fall asleep. Suddenly realize the TV is on in front of me. There is no TV in the bedroom, though. I easily roll off of the mat and stand up. The comforter comes with and tries to tangle me. I nose pinch and can breathe. I ignore the comforter and head for the door. I take my mouth guard out (it was bothering me!), hesitate a second before tossing it.

      Phasing is just the thing to start this dream off right, I think, and start to phase through the door. Have some issues, and get kicked back. I push on the door until falls off of its hinges. I carry it over my head into the living room. I decide to smash the windows with it. I hurl it at the window, but it rebounds off of the screen and comes back to me. I try again. I decide to go outside and smash stuff up. I am unlocking the door when I
      wake up.

      I am talking to a custodian in the bathroom. As I am washing my hands, I feel off. I remember that I am actually asleep and trying to LD. Having recently been plagued by lucid dreamlets, I very carefully nose pinch. Good to go. I ignore my hands being wet and head out into the main hall. There is a sliding closet door with light coming from behind it. I imagine that it goes outside and begin to phase through. My lower body passes through like a ghost (not normal) but my upper body becomes lodged somehow. I duck down to go through, and see a lane stretching into the distance, with fences on both sides (like something out of the Cider House Rules). I wake up. Think to DEILD but it is too late.

    13. Part 2: Lucid Dream Healing of my Son’s Plantar Wart – Dec 20, 2014

      by , 12-22-2014 at 02:53 AM
      This is my 2nd attempt to heal my son’s plantar wart using lucid dreaming. The 1st attempt is recorded in my dream journals under ‘Part 1’ (Dec 13, 2014). Apparently it’s possible to heal using lucid dreaming, so I’m giving it a try. I feel this attempt worked out much better than my first, but still needs some work, no doubt, so I’ll try again soon.

      After my 1st attempt I realized I needed to rehearse this with my son prior to attempting this again, because it was a little more involved than what I thought it would be. My son willingly went through a couple of rehearsals, so that my mind would be ready for the 2nd attempt. I have to admit, it came across as being a bit odd when we were doing these rehearsals, especially since my son is not a lucid dreamer. However, he happily accepted, because he’s been dealing with this large wart on his left heel for three years now, and no medical remedy has worked. Next step is a minor operation, which we’re trying to avoid. Here’s what happened in the lucid dream:

      I woke up around 7:30 Am for a second WBTB. At 8:00 Am I quickly fell back to sleep, ready to do some more lucid dreaming. Little did I know I was about to be involved in an exciting false awakening! Next thing I knew I was being awakened by some good old rock music. I sat up in bed and realized I was wearing my Sony Walkman Headphones and listening to an old cassette tape. I couldn’t figure out how that happened, because I haven’t used my Walkman in 10 years or so, and I certainly didn’t go to sleep with it on. I looked over and saw my son standing at my bedroom door. I got up and walked over to him, and asked what time it was? He said he didn’t know, so I reached into my pocket and pulled out my iPhone, and it strangely said 1:00 Pm. How could I sleep for 5 hours and not remember a single dream. I was also a bit disappointed that I didn’t have an LD.

      I went to ‘crash out’ in my bed, and sleep some more, because I was still really tired. Strangely my bed was covered in my daughter’s possessions. I carefully lifted them off my bed and placed them down, but more of her stuff kept appearing on my bed. I repeated and repeated, but more her belongings kept on appearing on my bed. Finally I got frustrated and started to sweep them off my bed using my forearm, but they still kept appearing! Finally, I figured it out! I’m having a false awakening! I'm lucid! How could my daughter’s possessions keep appearing on my bed, after all, she’s in Heaven. I then remembered my plan to heal my son’s plantar wart.

      By this point my son had left the room, so I quickly called him back. He instantly returned, and then he laid down on the floor with his left foot raised. I then called my daughter to come and hold his leg up, so as to free both my hands. My daughter walked into the bedroom and held his foot slightly off the floor. This was all going as rehearsed and planned. I kneeled down and removed his left sock, and I could see the plantar wart right there on his heel. Next, I sat down on the floor in front of his foot, and said, “Through love and consciousness we heal the wart on your foot!” I had both of my palms pointing at the wart. Nothing happened, no light, no nothing. I then remembered the Kami Hami Ha I did in one lucid dream, so I took this approach, and cupped my hands together as if I was holding an imaginary volleyball. I focussed and concentrated on creating a healing light. A warm, white, fuzzy, light ball, with hues of yellow, appeared in my cupped hands. I then focused this light ball into two beams of light projecting from the palms of my hands, at my son’s plantar wart. This was working! I was really excited! Then my vision went dark, I couldn’t see anything! Darn, I’m losing lucidity!

      I stayed perfectly still and asked my daughter if she was still there. She replied, “Yes dad, I’m still here.” I replied, “I love you! Please help me out, I can’t see anything.” I could feel my legs, arms, and shoulders being pulled all at the same time. At this point I had no idea what was going on. My vision slowly came back, and I was surprised to see that several kids, including my son and daughter, were spinning me in a circle, as I sat on the floor. I couldn’t believe it. They were spinning me, like lucid dreamers do, when trying to improve clarity. This was very cool.

      We reassumed positions, and I recreated the light ball in my cupped hands, and again focussed the beams of light back on the plantar wart. At this point there were several dream figures standing around watching. One of the younger kids then jumped over my right arm and sat down on my left thigh, with both my arms reaching around him, as I was projecting the light. I guess he wanted a front row seat? I was waiting for my son’s heel to start glowing before I stopped, but then I unexpectedly woke up. It was 9:00 Am (WBTB was at 8 Am). This was one cool lucid dream! I went and got my son a Timmy’s hot chocolate, woke him up, and told him about the LD I just had. I said next time, we’ll have your heel glowing and that should do it! He enjoyed his Timmy’s hot chocolate and my enthusiasm to help out with his plantar wart in this unconventional way. Strangely enough, his wart did look a little bit better today!

      I'm trying to fall asleep when a cat jumped on me and started to walk on me. Oh, boy. Here we go. It goes under my covers. It's a yellow cat. Aw, how cute! It bit my hand. I start yelling at it repeatedly, "What do you want!" After a minute it started to eat my head. Fine, eat my head! What do I care! I finally realized yelling at it wouldn't work and I had to calm down and show love and compassion for it. After I did that, it disappeared, and then of all things, wait for it, a SMART PHONE appeared in my hands. I've never dreamed of a phone in any way, ever. On it is a text message from the cat. It says "A drink". Stupid cat! Some sort of game then shows up. I'm still trying to figure out what's going on. The game makes a sound like I died. Then, finally, the screen for texting came up. It wanted me to text to a fictional woman named Sally Razen. I have zero texting skill whatsoever. After a couple of seconds of figuring out what to do, I woke up.

    15. Three Steps To Fall OST + DA + DILD

      by , 12-20-2014 at 09:55 PM (Inner World حلم Gamma Waves)
      I suddenly appeared on a field, the sky was morning blue and notice groups at the far distance. I started walking over there and as I got closer I could tell there were students lining up behind 3 other teachers. I realize my line was up front and proceeded to get in to position. That's when I heard one student behind me trying to conjure up a joke. But was having trouble remembering my name in order to do so. He tried a couple of times, which made me think he'll most likely never get it right. However on his last attempt he got it right to where I thought that was convenient.

      That's when lines ahead all began moving forward to the school building. As I enter inside I realize I was dreaming due to the sensation and the gradual build up of the realization. But I decided not to ruin the non-lucid experience by playing along. I notice our classroom door was the first right beside the exit. That's when someone grab my arm and I heard the teacher say she needed to speak with me. While dragging me outside, I notice the morning blue sky was gone. It was simply more brighter. I then have an FA. Lucidity Time: 19 seconds.
