lucid

So I had an afternoon nap earlier that day. But then I was laying in bed with the gf, eventually I fell asleep. Since I had already had sleep not long before, I went straight to REM sleep, and i was dreaming. I remember being really tired in my dream.

I was walking up the stairs in my flat. I was trudging along going so slow up the stairs, with my head lolling to the side like some drunk guy really wanting a place to crash on. I didn't even get to the bend in the stairs when I fell down on the stairs and went to sleep. Here is the interesting bit. As soon as I fell down and lay down (yes, on the stairs) I went into a DILD. Because I was sleepy in my dream, as soon as I fell down to sleep, my dream self went into a dream (yes, we're getting into Inception stuff here, a dream within a dream). And I knew that I was dreaming because I was following what was going on in the walking up stairs dream. So bang, I realised I was dreaming and LD.

I was in bed, like I had just opened my eyes, but not as clear. Although I wasn't in my gf's bed, I was in my bed, in my flat, but some furniture had changed. I was to happy to be lucid dreaming. First, to try clear some things up, I rubbed my hands together, and it had medium amount of success. Suddenly, however, I was at a complete loss as to what I should do. I never really thought this far, yeah I want to battle dragons and explore fantasy worlds, but right now, I was cozy in bed, with a whole lot of things that could scare me "out there", so I decided just to lay there. I decided to pray to God, and thank him for allowing me to lucid dream, because this has been a long time coming. Then I decided to get up, and when I tried to get out of bed by moving my body, my physical body was moved and i broke from the dream to be back in RL.

But I am happy, and I look forward to building on this progress.

Last night I had a dream that my mom came into my room for some reason at 2 30 in the morning. Then I told her mom, I'm dreaming..Actually we both are! And I became lucid for a few seconds. Then I went on the hunt for a quarter to show her that I could make it levitate. But by the time I got downstairs, the there were some kids I know trying to play a trick on me, and I think that took my complete attention off of being lucid, because I never got to flex my powers. I actually remember also riding on a bike with my friend later on, thinking to myself "anything is possible" and tried to sit sideways on the seat and pedal. but I fell, so I clearly didn't have the confidence that I would have if I was fully lucid. I even told some people in my dream about this. I said my mom woke me up at 2 30 ect and that usually when you wake up at that time of night, you are in the middle of a dream and thus become lucid. but I couldn't successfully get my mind to buy into the whole lucid idea. Very close though. Only lucid for maybe 1 minute.

non dream - lucid - non lucid

I occasionally have dreams where I feel I am in the future.
For some reason in these dreams, I'm usually in LA California, even though I've never been to the US in waking life.
There is no actual indication that I am indeed in LA though, I just know I am.
This dream was extremely vivid, I haven't had such a vivid dream since I started being busy with school.


I wake up in my king size bed in my house in LA.
It has white pillows and white sheets and it feels very smooth.
The sun is shining through the extremely big window in front the bed.
The room is very bright.
I feel refreshed and get up. I'm only wearing boxers.
I go to the window and take a look.
The view is absolutely amazing, my house is on top of a hill, I can see all the way to the ocean from here.
I go into the bathroom and freshen up.
The bathroom is very big, and very modern and colorful.
I see myself in the mirror, I look good, I look happy. (and slightly older than I do now)

I leave my bedroom and go check on my pets.
I have quite a few parrots in a very big outdoor cage.
The door of a room leads directly into the cage, I go inside.
The cage basically consist of a whole room with a grid instead of a wall on one side.
There is sand on the ground and a lot of different plants for the parrots to sit on.
I can feel a fresh breeze coming in through the grid, it feels good.
I play with the parrots a bit and go downstairs.

Here I enter another room which I have transformed into a habitat for my lizards.
I own about a dozen bearded dragons, and they are happy to have such a big room all for themselves.
I don't stay in the room for too long, the heat and the bright lights needed for the dragons makes me dizzy quickly.

I walk inside the kitchen / living room to grab a drink.
The room is extremely big. This house is a true mansion.
I feel like I really belong here, I absolutely love this house.
I grab a drink of orange juice and exit the room to go outside.
I am now in front of the pool drinking the juice.
The pool is quite natural looking, it looks a bit like a spring feeding into a pond.

There are a few beach chairs in front of the pool, and a bar where I keep a lot of drinks.
I often have guests over, and the bar is a huge success.
I decide to just lie down on a chair and chill for a bit.
As I approach the chair I see a girl already lying there.
She's my girlfriend, we live together.
She has long orange/red hair, green eyes and a few freckles around her nose, wearing a white bikini with a red flower drawn on it.
She's so lovely... so beautiful. I am so happy that she's my girlfriend. I am going to marry this women one day... I love her so much.
She makes me a sign to join her on the chair and turns her back to me.
I join her and hold her in my arms.

Her hair is my face, it smells very nice... a bit like lavender.

"Good morning sweetheart, how are you?"
"Great! How are you?"
"I feel absolutely amazing, like life is too good to be real."
"Like a dream?"
"Yes, like..."

I'll be damned. I am dreaming!
I feel sad at first, I wish this was real, but then I realize how amazingly vivid this dream is.
I look at my "girlfriend", realizing I don't even know her name.
I can see the pores on her skin.
I can feel the heat of her body and of the sun.
I can hear the small waterfall in the pool.
I can smell her, even still taste the remainders of orange juice in my mouth.

Wow, this feels so real!
But what does this mean? Why do I dream about a future in California so often.

"Are you... real?"

I immediately realize that this was a stupid question.

"Of course I am, Hyu."

I think about trying to unsummon her, to see if she's real, but it feels wrong and I decide not to.

"Is this my future?"
"..."
"You're not going to tell me, are you?"
"It might be your future, it might not be."
"How so?"
"Everything is possible, after all destiny is governed by chaos."
"Even the slightest change will change the course of history, no-one can look into the future, we can only look into the past."

Well... she isn't a normal DC alright...

"So all future is uncertain because of the chaos theory?"
"Yes, but even though it is, time is relative."
"Future present and past, they're all the same."

I don't understand what she means.

"But how can the past depend on the future?"
"If this is the future, then by seeing this you will inevitable change your past and destroy this future by doing so."
"That is why you cannot see into the future. That is why destiny is chaos."

How true... I'm impressed that I can think this clearly even though I'm dreaming.
It must be because the dream is so vivid.

"Who are you...?"
"A girlfriend... a wife?"
"..."
"I am what can be, and as such, I am chaos."
"You are quite mysterious aren't you?"

She turns towards me and looks me in the eyes.

"Just the way you like it."

Her eyes immediately remind me of Yuya's.
They are different but they also have that infinite detail.
I don't think that this women is Yuya, but they have something in common, I can feel it.

"Tell me your name."
"That I cannot, because my name is a secret."
"Why?"
"Because it changes everything."
"It does?"
"Everything does, every bit of information, regardless of how benign it may seem changes your whole of reality."
"Why am I allowed to talk to you at all then?"

She smiles.

"Of course talking to me changes everything."
"Every dream changes everything, everything you experience will change you for all eternity."
"Then why can I not know your name?"
"I told you, it's a secret."
"But why?"
"Because I am keeping it one."
"Your curiosity is truly endless Hyu. And that's how it should be, that is how it needs to be."
"I love you Hyu."

Saying that she loves me overwhelms me with emotions.
I am not sure what to say, but I do love this women.
The feeling is so strong that it is only barely bearable.
She closes her eyes.

"Now kiss me."

I close my eyes and kiss her.
The feeling of love is so very strong that I don't even realize that the dream is slipping away.
I just want to hold her, for all eternity.

Then I understand that I've woken up and open my eyes.
I can still feel the heat of her body.
Oh how I wish she was with me, here in my bed.
But I don't feel sad that she's gone, I still experience this feeling of loving someone.
I know that it will probably last until the end of the day.

Power Trip (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I became lucid quite a few times during the night, but it's now nearly time for bed again, so my memory has seriously deteriorated.

I was taking part in a giant street battle. I think it was inspired by watching recent news reports of Egypt/Libya uprisings. I was part of the rebellious horde, leading an army of thousands up a hill to a monument. It was surrounded by a roundabout- it reminded me slightly of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. All my army were wearing red, apparently it was our colour. The top of the street filled with government troops, and they started to advance on us. I began to charge, and the army followed. I screamed out a war cry as I pulled back my fist, which burst into flames. The government army had stopped in their tracks by the time we reached them, and I swung my flaming fist with all the force I could muster. It was like a small explosion. Several troops were blasted into the air, and more followed. I felt like Sauron (If you've ever seen that part in LoTR when he joins in the battle). Pure badassery was being dished out.

A while later, I noticed that a large coach had been inconveniently parked at the top of the street leading to the monument where all the government troops were. It had the unfortunate effect of funnelling all my red brothers-in-arms into their firing line. They were getting mown down, and had nowhere to go upon reaching the top of the hill. I pushed my way through the scrambling crowd, over to the coach. I lifted it up over my head. As I did so, the fighting around me stopped as people on both sides stared. After a quick psych-up, I launched it vertically. I assume it went into space, because it disappeared into the sky and never came back down. The reds cheered, as they were now able to run and find cover at the top of the hill.

I am standing in the driveway of my childhood home looking towards the woods. This is not right...I do not even look at my hands. I already know I am dreaming.

Something is at the end of the driveway. I cannot see it but I know it is there. I feel an incredible onset of anger. Whatever is out there, a part of me greatly dislikes it. I suddenly know what to do. I focus on the rage building and try to release it. An immense feeling washes over me, almost orgasmic and things start to change. My vision changes, I can see farther past the driveway. Things have a different hue to them. My body feels different, I am closer to the ground now. The rage has been replaced by a different, stronger feeling....Power. Whatever the being that triggered this I am going to hunt. I take off in it's direction but I focus too hard. Everything fades away.

Like many other lucids I lost this one because I tried to hard to do something. I never did figure out what I had become. I hope to try it again but I've never felt rage like that in a lucid before.

Nonlucid, Lucid, Partially lucid

March 29, 2011: I was in a meditation class, in my mother's old ballet studio. We were sitting on the floor in rows. The teacher walked around instructing us.
We were suppose to feel something. Other students felt whatever it was they were meant to feel, but I never felt anything.
Most of the class left early. I staid and talked with the teacher, a lady maybe in her 40s.

--------

I became lucid through WILD method.
I floated out of bed, in the air. I wanted to see my dream guide. I said out load that I opened myself to her higher guidance. She did not appear. I walked through the house, repeating my intent.
i saw an open drier with laundry in it, and there was cat poop stuck to the bottom of my feet, barefoot.
(note: When I was younger, we had a cat that died in the drier. So that's what the open drier in my lucid dream made me think of.)

I said out load that I wanted help from my dream guide, help with dealing with or getting rid of fear and worry.
I felt myself waking up.
I re-entered a dream and saw Eddie (who is 9) outside through a glass sliding door. I did something to scare him. Then I grabbed him and stretched his mouth open and shaped him into a round kitten. The kitten ball floated in the air.

I was outside on the patio where the wood was stacked. I lightly punched the floating ball of kitten and it floated away. I saw another cat and asked her if my dream guide was around. The cat just acted like a cat. I tried to make the cat into something else, but it didn't work. She looked dead for a moment, but then was OK.
I talked to the cat, asking why I can't do certain things in my lucid dreams. I said maybe it's because I said I couldn't do it.
I must have felt that I was waking up, because I lied down on the patio and tried to WILD again, then realized I was still dreaming.

I thought of something I knew I could do, which was fly. I jumped from the patio and swung from a tree branch, but did not fly. I was like "What the hell?!"
I climbed up a tree trunk, to the sawed off top, and jumped and flew. i flew around a large tree with long, creepy branches that looked like bird-like monsters. I landed on a building ledge next to the tree.

I was having trouble flying. It felt like i was holding two cloths in my hands that I used as wings, and they were getting twisted. I tried turning it into a blanket to use as wings, like I use to do when I was little. But that didn't work either.
Then I saw N and called to her. She ran away playfully. I thought I didn't have time to chase after her. I turned around and saw two of her friends. Then I felt myself waking up again.

I thought for a second that I had woken up, but then realized I was still in a dream. I found N at a table with friends. I removed her pants and underwear and we were about to have sex when I woke up again. This time I decided to get up and write everything down.


Notes: Good points: i remembered my intent to find my dream guide and I was rather persistent about it, at least in the first part.
I was able to continue the lucid dreaming even after partially waking up, by not moving.
Not so good points: I didn't find my dream guide, and other things didn't work well either. I usually don't have any trouble flying in my lucid dreams.
Perhaps I should try doing things in dreams with no expectations at all. When I try having expectations, I always have doubts, or negative expectations that effect my results.

NON DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm sitting on the floor, next to my friend, J. We're writing stories or something. Suddenly, I notice my hand has a weird message written on it. In real life, I had written "DREAMS!" on my hand with pen, so that when I looked at it in my dream, I would notice it said something else. Well, it worked. Looking at my hand, I became lucid, because now it said something else. It still said "DREAMS!" on it, but underneath that, I saw the sentence "It's an oracle!" I performed a reality check, and sure enough, I was dreaming. J, who is still sitting next to me, suddenly becomes angry. Her face gets rounder and her eyes are further apart. She starts growling. I hardly have any time to be scared before I'm suddenly lying down in my bed. It's not a false awakening, because I still know I'm dreaming.

My vision is blurred, and I slowly and blindly step out of my bed, trying to walk around. That's when I notice I'm standing on the ceiling. Weird, I think to myself, as I slowly flip around and land on the ground the right way. I will myself to have clear vision, and I do. Not knowing what to do next, I walk over to my window and look outside. It's daytime. I randomly see Leonardo DiCaprio standing there, as his character Cobb from Inception. At first I'm afraid that he's gonna try and steal my thoughts and ideas like in Inception, so I try to scare him away. I do so by making scary faces at him through the window. He slowly backs off and runs away.

I almost immediately regret scaring him off because I wanted to interact with my DCs. So, I walk into the backyard and see him standing there by the bushes, towards the woods. As I begin to approach him, I am interrupted by my grandpa's friend, P, walking towards me. P is carrying my crying brother and asks me if I could help figure out what was wrong with him. I agree and take my brother, and P is gone. I ask my brother, "What's the matter?" Still crying, he says "The Xbox won't let me be Player 1!" I shrug and decided to help him, just because. Following him inside, I realize the Xbox is set up in the kitchen, and the TV is attached to the fridge. I don't know how technology works in the dream world, so I randomly press a few buttons on the controller. But it seems to work because he stops crying and runs off to go to the bathroom or something like that.

I start to go back outside but remember to check my hand, just to see what else it says. It still says "DREAMS!" and "It's an oracle!", but now it also has random scrambled letters written on it, too. I step outside, and as soon as I do, my vision gets blurry again. I suddenly hear voices around me and I know I'm near people, but I can't really see them. I recognize some of them as people from school. They are frantically warning me that I've entered the 2nd dream level, the dream within a dream. They told me of how there was an explosion and everyone was in danger. Looking at the ground with my vision still blurred, I could barely make out what I guess were supposed to be fragments of blown up bomb. I kept struggling for clarity and finally achieved it. As soon as I did, I remembered how Cobb was still outside, and I feared that he'd been harmed.

I shouted out, "COBB!" and ran over towards him. He was still in the same spot by the bushes, except he was lying on the ground, half dead. He looked weird. He was blue, with a bleeding face, cracked skin, and he was wearing a Native American headdress. I kept reassuring him he'd be ok, and he didn't respond. Suddenly, a group of about 3 or 4 people ran over to him (I don't know who they were) and revived him. He was fine.

It was now darker outside. Randomly, my best friend H appeared next to me. We were looking on our phones for a new tuxedo for Cobb, because he was going to Vegas for vacation, apparently. H found a snazzy looking suit and showed it to me. Of course, the suit model was Eames from Inception. I agreed that it was a nice suit. H disappeared.

I decided that I would once more try to change my appearance like I have in other dreams. I closed my eyes and made a mirror appear in front of me. I remember the mirror was one of those big full body mirrors, with an intricate design on the gold frame. I closed my eyes and told myself that when I opened my eyes, I would look like Zooey Deschanel, who I failed to look like in another lucid dream of mine. When I opened my eyes, the only thing that changed was my hair. Then I decided that since everything seemed to be going along with Inception, I'd try and change myself to look like Ariadne. This time, all that changed was my hair and my clothes. I even got Ariadne's little scarf she always wears.

I woke up. My first thought was, "Nooooo! That dream was too short!" But as I reviewed the dream in my head, I realized I was very lucky I lucid dreamt at all, and I had an amazing lucid experience.

Mar 28th, 2011. Used short WBTB method (10 min) at 4 am and remained motionless. Transition experiences arised. Dream scenery arised as an old house I live. Sounds and DC arised. Upon trying to gain controll, I woke up.

NON DREAM DREAM LUCID

I am standing in my bedroom, and it's nighttime. I look at my bed, and notice something strange. I can't really explain it, but I see what looks like one of those colorful decorative window stickers kids make, but it was in the shape of a cartoonish old lady, and it was big. I realize I must be dreaming, because what I currently see is never usually there. I do a RC, and suddenly everything becomes vivid, because I can still breathe through my nose even though I'm pinching it shut. I'm not sure what to do, so I slowly walk out of my room and into my hallway.

As I'm walking down the hall, I remember reading about how reflections look weird in the dream world. So I poke my head into my bathroom and look in the mirror. The only thing that's different is the fact that I have lots of bangs covering my face. I shrug it off and continue walking down the hallway, into my living room. I'm standing there and I decide I want to try and change my environment. I close my eyes and concentrate, telling myself that when I open my eyes, I'll be in a completely empty, solid white room. Err, I failed. I was still standing in my living room.

Then, I wanted to try and change my appearance. I look in the mirror in the living room, and (probably because I had just watched Elf in real life) tried to change myself to look like Zooey Deschanel. Well, that didn't work either.

I also remembered how technology usually doesn't work correctly in dreams. So I see my laptop on the table and try to turn it on. It does, but the internet isn't working and Google is wacky. That's when my brother walks out of his room, eating an apple, and keeps bothering me, trying to figure out what I'm doing on the computer. I want him to leave me alone but he keeps irritating me. Yep, he's pretty much being exactly how he is in real life, even the apple eating. Suddenly my mom walks out of her room, and yells at my brother to go back to bed because it's too early. But she doesn't seem to see me.

I wake up, very happy.

DILD + SP

what an amazing night. I swear I recalled each dream from seam to seam as they transitioned. In the middle if the night I had a dream where I was walking through my school. The school didn't look the same, and there was an unusual amount of light streaming in from all of the windows. This is the second time I've been in my school, which makes me want to start maping it out after reading dreamviews recent cartography thread. Anyways, I decided I might as well reality check, and found I was in a dream. I turned to go down a hallway and saw a friend at the end (Tabitha) I ran down to go see her and was deciding what to do first when my dream sort of melted away. I had dreams after this that I remember well, almost like when I have valerian root capsules before I go to bed. In one of these dreams I was jogging through a cool dark humid forest, watching red and yellow light stream in through the woods at a distance, I'm not sure if I technically gained awareness here because I felt a certain amount of awareness in all of my dreams tonight. It was at this point I decided to admit to myself I was dreaming, and weirdly enough, entered sleep paralysis from there which was awesome. I wanted to get into a deeper state before I tried to move or roll out of my body, but slowly over time I was being dumb and worked my way out of it *facepalm.

On a side note, I won't grade my short lucid dreams on clarity lucidity ect.

Real life Dream Lucid Nightmare Dream sign

Recently my web host (who I am good friends with the founder) got attacks from a client of Limestone Networks (the company didn't do it, one of their customers did) and when I talked to him about it over chat I started seeing Limestone Networks ads all over the place due to Google adWords user targeting. Kind of ironic, but oh well.

I think that's what inspired this dream.

Limestone Networks dream
Only one I remembered for the night. Bad recall. My family was staying at a HUGE fancy hotel! It was all made of marble.

Here's a description: From the front entrance with multiple glass doors you enter a humongous right-left symmetrical marble room. 4 stories high or so. The second floor is in the back half of the room while the third and fourth are elsewhere, only visible because of little balconies sticking out into the main room. There were a bunch marble benches on either side on the first and second floor. There's two sets of stairs about 50 feet ahead of you maybe 15 feet wide each, at 30˚ angles. They go one story high, to the second floor in the back. These stairs are separated by a balcony in the middle that extends from the upper base of the stairs horizontally to the lower base. Here's a horrendous, literally 30-second example of what I mean: (click to enlarge)

I can draw better. Much better. But it's getting late and I don't want to spend too much time on this...

Anyway, the building was cool. My family was staying on the left side of the building in a room on the 3rd floor which had a balcony sticking out to the big room. It was a very nice hotel! At some point I became very, very, very faintly lucid. I realized I was dreaming, kind of, and that I could do what I wanted.

I walked downstairs and saw Limestone Networks was having a meeting. A man was speaking to about 40 men and women. They looked distressed. I had to walk around a few people as I went down the stairs. I knew their business wasn't my business but, out of curiosity I wanted to hear what was going on so I slowed down my pace. Apparently Limestone Networks was having severe financial problems. Several people were crying... They were going to go bankrupt. I felt really bad for them. It seemed like Linmestone Networks employees were a tightly knit group of friends... I wondered how they could afford so many ads yet they were going bankrupt, but I brushed the thought away. I kept walking and went through a door.

I saw my friend Ryan and decided to use my lucid powers to have an Avatar race with him. We changed into Avatars and climbed up floating mossy rocks. The best Avatar music with the chorus singing was playing somehow. It was really awesome! Eventually the Avatar world faded back to normal life. We were outside. It was dark and raining. The dream was becoming increasingly negative. I could see less and less. Ryan vanished. I was alone in the mud. I saw these slimy monster things with huge mouths. I was worried, but not scared. It was becoming harder and harder to go on. I tripped and fell. I could sense monsters coming for me but I couldn't see anything! I thrashed around hoping it would drive them away but it woke me up.

I was still moving so I jumped out of bed. I was startled a little but not scared at all. It was about 4AM. I went back to sleep shortly after, which doesn't usually happen after nightmares. Somehow I wasn't very scared in that nightmare.


Glad to have a dream, especially a lucid one, even slightly, after all this time!

So I finally managed to have another lucid. I was kind of there when the dream started, and then I turned around and saw J.R. (friend.) Somehow that snapped me into complete lucidity. (This is like the fourth time that's happened--J.R. either makes me lucid or confirms that I'm lucid.) I practically scream with joy and give him a hug. We start walking across a yard, towards our school. The sky is all gray and cloudy, like it's about to storm, and the wind is blowing. Before we go into the school I see Sam (another friend.)

"Sam! This is a dream!" I tell her.

"No it's not."

"Yeah, it really is!"

"Prove it."

Well. How am I supposed to do that? Instead of having an epic fail trying to do something amazing, I just tell her to pinch her nose shut and breathe in. She does, and freaks out.

"WHOA! IT REALLY IS A DREAM!!!" She comes into the school with me, since J.R. has mysteriously disappeared. Once inside, I wonder if I can find someone else and see if it could end up as a shared dream. I run over to a wall of lockers and knock on one.

"Hey, is anybody in there?"

"Me! Hahahaha!" Justin (also a friend) bursts out of the locker and goes laughing down a hallway.

Then I had at least one false awakening, which rarely happens with me. I was asking people at school about what their dream had been about.

Was debora from dexter. Had to kill little omacs with a flame thrower. I was doing good and had extra skill points to spend. A boss came and I asked for backup. Nobody came. I ran while shooting the boss. I saved the game and killed the boss. Next thing im back at camp wearing a huge cape getting ready for a feast as a victory. Im wondering why am I wearing such a giant cape.

Some organization was rounding people up for a hockey game. We weren't sure why but we don't think it was for coffee. We were at home and my mom was being annoying trying to tell me to out the dig to bed even though he wasn't tired. A sumo guy cane in and started beating up my dad. I kept hitting him but he was too big. Got a knife. He turned to me to hit me. I duck and slid the knife up his throat. A hockey game is being played and a little kid is wanting to shoot. Everyone is cheering him. He misses because a big blip is in his way. One guy kicks it and it crashes and everyone runs out. Later my dads in therapy for the color blue but were watching this on tv.

Was at some house with two people and kara. We had these glowing sticks that looked really cool. There were people playing games and a guys girlfriend sitting down in a bikini. Kara and I were joking around with her and spanking her. We could tell the boyfriend was jealous but we wouldn't say anything.


Was doing some campaign like age of empires world with leo. Went through a long game and were testing a hair sample in order for us to see if the man we want to kill is the right one. His brother is banging on our locked door. The hair sample matches. I
we quickly put everything away.

Im at my house sleeping. There's a weird energy here. Someone else lives here too. I go downstairs and she says something is off in the office. It is there's something there. I run upstairs to get my laser and bring it down. I shone it and something sort of clear appears. I scream and run upstairs.

Was at school. Kara dropped me off. Looked like highschool was going around random classes messing around knocked some girls papers off her desk. She laughed. Went to the bathroom to piss on the walls. Just wandered around. Kara called to say hi.

Lucid. Was attempting a shared with Kara. We were at school I was instantly lucid. I stabilized really quickly and kara and I went to class slowly. I had the hardest time keeping everything stable. We went into class and told leo to get lucid. He instantly got lucid. We said let's go and everyone in class gets up and walks out. Leo and kara want to get some sort of papers in a locked room. I know im bear the end of rem so I go with it and continue to try and keep stabilization. We get the papers and leave the room. the dream is ending. I really don't want it to. Kara is complaining that I. Need to do better at keeping it stable. I wake but don't move. It takes a bit longer than usual but I imagine rubbing my hands on the wall as I walk through the halls. Im back In. We leave the room and walk into another we are so excited thinking this might be a shared. I say I can't stay in much longer the dreams falling apart. I wake again. I imagine touching things in the room with karas voice telling me not to give up. I'm in. I tell them that my goal is to open a portal so I do it. The first portal is squiggly and falls to the ground. They laugh at me. The second portal stays up. I go through and so do they. Pure blackness for me. I can hear them saying it's at a beach. I same but start going back in. My dog is growling because mom is shutting the door. I can't deild back in. I do fall asleep again. Im back at the school. I have a feeling leo and kara are at the playground. Im not really sure his lucid I was here but I knew it was a dream and ran super speed (a new power of mine) to the playground. I was looking at kara and leo and we were all smiling. We did it we said. This is amazing. Leo started opening the paper he came there for. My mom came into the dream and told me to be careful look how far up I am. I looked and I was super high up and got scared. I tried to teleport down and failed. I eventually jumped down. Dream ended.

I'm outside my old grade school. There are other students there too. I decide to go to the classroom that was used by the 5th and 6th graders when I went there. I go in to the school. Then I realize that I'm far too old to go to this school. That means that this has to be a dream. There's a boy who's about 10 years old next to me. I tell him that this is a dream. He isn'timpressed by that. To demonstrate that it's a dream I start levitating. Then I decide to show the boy some magic. I say Hokus Pokus Filiokus and snap my fingers. This works, but I can't remember what happened.

The boy takes my hand and leads me away from the school. We come to a bridge from which I can see a group of 12-14 year old boys. I go down to them. They get angry and ask me what I'm doing here. I notice that they are stealing drugs from a pharmacy. I tell them that I'm not going to take their drugs from them. That seems to satisfy them and they tell me about a friend of theirs who went away to work at a store some time ago and who they haven't heard from since. They are worried something has happened to him. I call the store and a man answers. He says he is likes it there and that he isn't coming back. The boys say that that's what he said when they called, but they don't believe it's actually him. They've also been to the store, but they got turned away at the door. I think that that's probably because they are young boys in shabby clothes, so I decide that I should try that too. We go to the store and I go in. I ask the woman at the counter where the boy is and she points further into the store. I go there and see a head that's been hooked up to some kind of wheel chair. I ask it about the boy and it answers exactly the same as when I called, so I understand that the head has kidnapped the boy.

This was quite an intense night.
I had 3 non-lucid dreams prior to this.
Unfortunately those were followed by a FA in whom I took notes in my DJ and went back to sleep.
I can't remember any specifics about them.

Then I had these 2 dreams and took notes in my DJ again.
When I woke up I checked my notes to see if this was a FA as well. The page in my DJ was blank and I was pissed.
It turns out I must have flipped the page after taking notes though, because when I got home from uni,
I was quite happy to find I actually did take the notes when I flipped one page back.

I am hovering over some clouds. Cool, I'm dreaming again!
I try to land on the cloud below me which works.
I look around trying to spot something interesting whilst yelling out to see if someone is there.
Then I spot some kind of structure to my left and approach it.
It seems like someone build a few wooden houses ontop of these clouds.
A person approaches me and says hi.
He introduces me to two of his friends, once of them is named Kiwi.

"Kiwi is a cool name, I like it!"

The other person jumps ontop of me and makes spider noises (like the ones in minecraft).

"I'm a minecraft spider!"
"That's... great I guess?"

I am now with Kiwi on top of his wooden house.
He points into a direction and mumbles something about a city.

"Do you want to fight?"
"Huh?"
"A friendly fight, just for fun."
"Are you a dreamer?"
...
"What are you doing here anyways?"
"I started out here."
"I see."

He looks at me.

"Laters."

and disappears. That was weird.
My vision fades. I decide to focus on not moving and wait it out.


I wake up but manage not to move and even keep my eyes closed.
Nice! I'm confident I'll enter another LD within a few seconds.


I'm back in the clouds, but everything from my previous dream is gone.
There are no more structures and no more people.
I hover around a bit, rubbing my hands against eachother, and suddenly I think clearly.
What the hell am I doing hovering around? I should make use of this DEILD!
I summon my wings, which I decide to call phoenix wings from now on and lock onto Yuya's aura.

I feel like she's not on Teraluna so I try to communicate with her using my thoughts.
For some reason I feel like it would be rude to just teleport to her when she isn't home.

"Yuya? Can you hear me?"
"Yes!"
"Can I visit you?"
"Of course! ... Actually... wait!"

I guess I'll just wait.
Can I wait in a dream? just like that?
I notice an air pocket next to me that seems distorted.
It looks like half of a bubble.
Is that a portal...?

Right as I try to investigate it, the bubble bursts and Yuya falls out of it, straight into my direction.
I catch her mid-air.
She starts laughing. I can feel that she feels a bit stupid for falling out of a portal like that even though
she is very experienced with portals.

Her hair is brushing against my body. She's so beautiful.
She looks into my eyes... endless blue...
I suddenly realize I'm still holding her... awkward...
I gently let her go. She is amused that I feel awkward about stuff like this.

Yuya looks around.

"How did you get here?"
"Uuh, my last dream started here I guess. Where are we?"
"On the frontier of the Dream Plane... I've never been here."
"I met a person called Kiwi before, I think he might be a dreamer."
"Maybe..."
"You're forgetting something!"
"I am?"

Right! KristaNicole!

"She's looking for a Dream Guide. Do you think we can help her find one?"
"Hmm, I'm not sure, but it's worth a try."
"Let's go meet her!"

I notice I still have my wings summoned.
I hold my left hand out and close my eyes.

"How do I find her aura?"
"How have you found mine?"
"Uuh..."
"Just think about her, how you feel when you think about her. That's what her aura will feel like."

I search through the void, or maybe the dream plane, I'm not really sure where I'm searching when I do this.
I think of KristaNicole's Forum Avatar, about the first DJ entries that pop into my head.
It takes a few seconds, I notice we're really far out.
Then suddenly I find her. I'm sure it's her.
For some reason I'm really calm. Last time I tried sharing a dream I was extremely nervous and it caused a lot of problems.

Yuya holds onto me. Off we go!
We step through the fabric of space...

(I can only barely remember the next fragment)

... I'm on a road I think?
... Something is happening around me.
I spot KristaNicole walking past us. Can she see me?
... I approach her to say hi.
I wonder whether I should call her Krista or Nicole...
