    1. 01/08/11 Fractured Remains

      by , 01-09-2011 at 06:35 AM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
      Notes: Plans for this night included meeting up with MoSh, Asuka, and their kids, and the girl who seems to have adopted me about three months ago, her name is Dala, and we were going to go on a pirate treasure hunt. Other plans included the Dreamviews tasks of the year. There have been a few problems with my recall, due to a rather heated incident on one of the Dreamviews forums that involved some arguing, deleted posts, and me getting really pissed off… which unfortunately that has caused some difficulty with my recall, but I am going to post what I do remember here. I have threatened not to post here any more, but if you're here reading this, you are more important than some childish tantrum I might be having.

      Pirates of the Caribbean: Treasure of the Lost Island
      I am on a beach with MoSh, Asuka, their kids, and Dela, the girl who adopted me about three months ago after I found her about to be burned alive. So now the group of us is on the beach, I see there is a pirate ship out in the water, as well as a couple of row boats pulled up on the beach. All of us pile onto the boats and head out to the ship, which I soon recognize as the Black Pearl from the Pirates of the Caribbean series. We reach the ship shortly, and want to board. I see Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Caribbean series, and he lets us all on in exchange for a quantity of rum which I summon, much to his amazement. The kids are all playing about on the ship, running here and there, Jack says if they want to be on the ship, they will have to be proper pirates… though he isn't saying it in a mean way or anything, he is getting the kids into the roles of being pirates, which they take to right away. We have a map showing a possible location of an island where there is treasure, but the islands have not even been confirmed… perfect to check it out. So all of us assume the roles of pirates and head for the island, I make efforts to stay really close to Jack Sparrow. We navigate through a series of strangely placed whirlpools, and find some islands hidden in the center. The map shows the location of the treasure on the island, we go ashore and follow the map, digging up the treasure at the end.

      Flying a Chopper
      I am running through a building, I am being chased, but I am not lucid. I am going up the stairs in an attempt to get away. I know if they even get a direct line of sight on me they will shot me, and I will be killed… so I have to go faster. I keep trying the doors that lead out of the stairwell into the different levels, but they are all locked. I keep going until I finally find one that opens, it leads out onto the roof. I climb a ladder to the right of the door and keep going up, though I don't know where I'm supposed to go now, I just want to be sure they won't see me too soon. I find there is a helicopter sitting on the roof, there is a helicopter landing pad, I think the helicopter must be a hospital helicopter. I think it is fitting since I had just come out of a hospital, though this is the first time I have thought of the place as a hospital. Where do I go now? I get to the helicopter and open the door, climbing in. I look at the controls, close the door, and I see the controls look like a video game controller. Due to the familiarity of the controls I am able to start the chopper and lift off into the air just as the people after me climb onto the helipad. They shoot at me, but they miss on all counts… I fly away from the hospital wondering if I will be in trouble for stealing the helicopter, and then I wonder if I will even be able to land it safely…

    2. 3rd lucid

      by , 01-09-2011 at 02:58 AM
      I was in a house. the kitchen looked like my old friends kitchen in his house. I walked into the kitchen and saw all my friends sitting down around the room. I thought this was odd since im in japan and they are all at college. I did a reality check and looked at the time on my phone. i looked away and looked at the time again, it changed. I now knew this was a dream. I said aloud to everyone "I am dreaming!" i remember getting really excited and then telling myself to calm down so i wouldn't lose lucidity. I looked at my hands and counted y fingers, they were all there. all 5 of them. i don't remember much of this dream but i do remember trying to teleport to my moms house. The dream was fading so i starting spinning and closing my eyes. at the same time thinking about my moms house and what it looked like. I stopped and opened my eyes and i was there at my ex-step fathers house. The dream became more vivid because of the spin. I walked downstairs into the basement and there was a couch with a tv infront of it. my cousin was sitting there. I walked up to him and told him we were in a dream, my dream. He believed me and thought it was sweet. I remember one part of the dream walking down the halway trying to fly....inside for some reason. obviously didn't work haha.

    3. Night One

      by , 01-09-2011 at 01:03 AM
      I started keeping a dream journal a few days ago in a spiral, but figured I should go digital in case I loose my paper journal. These are my dreams for my first night after discovering this site. I decided to start by working on dream recall (I had been having trouble with that for the past few months). In my journal I am using bullet points just to get the general idea of my dreams, but I'll try to convert them to plot lines here.

      Night of January 4th

      Dream 1: My first dream that night was very brief and went something like this. I was at a complex of outdoor sports arenas running with some of the other people I have athletics with. We were having normal conversations, when suddenly we noticed that there was a giant t-rex chasing after everyone on the team (I know, strange, but I used to love dinosaurs so I guess it makes sense). Being one of the faster people on the team I wasn't worried about being caught, but just to be safe I decided to pick up my pace (after all I didn't have to outrun the t-rex, just the slowest people on the team). To my dismay the faster I tried to run the slower I ended up going, it felt as though something was pulling harder back on me the faster I went. Eventually the t-rex caught up with me, so I closed my eyes and started thinking "it won't eat me, it won't eat me." To my surprise it didn't. When I opened my eyes we actually began to have a pleasant conversation. I asked him why he didn't eat me and the t-rex's answer was because I was dreaming. I realized he was right and got really excited, unfortunately too excited and I ended up waking up.

      Dream 2: My next dream happened once I fell back to sleep and though I can't remember most of the details of the beginning I remember the latter half. For some reason I had been looking for a job (even though I'm not legally allowed to work in most places). One of my friends had found me a job at a restaurant so I took it. I was working busily for a while, but one of the other employs kept making snide remarks to their friend who also worked there. After a while I got sick of it, and pushed the tray of cupecakes they were holding into their face, and it stuck there from all the icing. There friend was gawking, so I took the cupcake in my hand (that I guess I took off the try before shoving the tray into the other kid's face) and threw it at them. My aim was spot on. After that I remembered what the t-rex had said in my last dream and realized that this was a dream too! Everyone in the restaurant then proceeded to have a huge food fight for the rest of the dream.

      Dream 3: This was my last dream of the night. I was sitting at a table in a library (looked like the one from my elementary school), and some evil magic creature had been freed. Me and some of my friends from school were looking up ways to beat it when it flew into the library. For some reason it only went after me and eventually had me stuck in a small room. I knew the only way to escape was to lift up the roof and fly out (I guess there were no available doors or windows), so I started to try that. I realized that the creature could stop me easily, but I thought to myself "stay where you are" and it obeyed. After flying out of the room I landed near a lake in a nearby neighborhood (near to where I live in real life). Walking on the side walk around the lake I ran into a group of people from my school who were coming back from a party they were at. I said hi and kept walking when suddenly I realized that one of the people in the group was a somewhat antisocial kid from another grade and that he would never hang out with those kids (of course thats the not normal thing that clued my in to my dream, not the flying part..). I then decided to bring some other people from my school in to hang out with the other kids and we did for a minute, but then we decided to mess with some of the kids. I was able to turn us invisible so we poked and prodded different people for a while and then some of them ran away scared. After that I lost lucidity and went back to enjoying my dream as a reality. Some people in camo told me it was time to go, so we went up on the roof of a nearby house and the house started to fly. When it took off I thought "wouldn't it be funny if a bird flew by and ran into us." Right then a bird flew by us and ran into my head. I then woke up to my alarm.

    4. Looking for Sheila

      by , 01-08-2011 at 10:12 PM
      January 8, 2011, Saturday,
      non-lucid lucid

      I was lying on my back while I imagined moving and stretching my arms out to a distant focal point, grabbing at it, and pulling it back towards me. As I did this, I strengthened my intent to have a lucid dream.
      I felt myself get close to sleep. Eventually I rolled over onto my side and continued the imagined movement.

      I entered a conscious dream. Still in bed, N got in bed with me. We cuddled for a bit and possibly had sex. Then N became angry with me and I lost lucidity for a while. we were in a hotel. She turned into a cat. Girls turn into cats a lot in my dreams.

      I regained lucidity and started running around, yelling Sheila's name so she would appear. Sheila is a girl I have met a few times in previous lucid dreams. I went into my sister's room, in our old house we grew up in. I shouted for Sheila. I heard someone say "here I am." But it was B, not Sheila, and I said so.
      At first I went along with it. I sat her down in front of a mirror to make her Sheila. She seemed really nervous, like she didn't want to be there. I suggested we have sex, like that would help somehow, but she didn't want to.
      It's just as well, too, because I wouldn't have wanted to get too distracted by sex and not at least try to achieve a goal.

      I picked her up, carried her to the door, and tossed her out, closing the door again.
      Then I went into the living room, still calling out for Sheila, and saying that I wanted to see her. There were other people in the living room, on the couches.
      The phone rang and I picked it up, asking if it were Sheila. There was just noise. It was kind of scary.

      Then I sort of gave up and remembered an easier lucid dream goal. I slowly put my hand through the stone wall, next to the fireplace. It was rough, and hurt a little when I pulled my hand out. A guy was watching. I said to him that I could have made it smoother. Then my leg was stuck in the stone ledge and I couldn't get it out, and I woke up.


      Notes:
      What did I do wrong? I was very intent on finding Sheila, almost obsessed with it. I expected her to show up, but was not successful.
      Perhaps I was not certain enough that she would be there, and I still had doubts about my abilities. Maybe I was not calm enough. I should have had calm confidence. It might have helped if I performed some exercises in the dream to become more fully lucid.

    5. Going to see the Pyramids

      Going to see the Pyramids (DEILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Somewhere between dreams this morning, I remembered the task of the year I'd been neglecting. Unfortunately I didn't remember that it was in fact next year, and there were new tasks I hadn't seen yet. Oh well, it was fun anyway!

      After my previous dream about Cheryl Cole, I woke up into some kind of recording studio. I was lying on a comfy chair, in a circle with about ten other people. One of them was my friend Kay from work. We were all hooked up to one of those dream-sharing devices from Inception. Kay said something, but I ignored him, thinking about my last dream and how awesome it was. I tried to do a DEILD back into it, and a little loading icon appeared at the bottom of my vision. I paused, thinking of something more worthwhile I could be doing, like the task of the year on Dreamviews. I strained to remember what they were, and recalled that Egypt was definitely involved. Then it came to me. There were two related to Egypt- finding out how the pyramids were built, and watching the Exodus. I snapped awake back into the studio and stood up. After telling Kay of my plan, I went outside to the street. It was a huge crossroads, filled with people and the occasional car. I kneeled down in a patch of gravel and sketched out a (very) rough drawing of two pyramids and the Nile using my fingers. I looked at it very intently, visualising it in front of me. I lost touch with the crossroads, but felt Kay coming up behind me.
      "Good luck," he said calmly.

      By now I had a cartoon-ish picture of Egypt in my mind, and was trying to insert myself. I realised it would be hard to insert myself at the P.O.V. I had drawn, because I usually needed some sort of tactile sensation to pull myself into a scenario. The P.O.V. was in the sky. My vision zoomed down to the ground, on a sand dune. There was a tall wire fence along the top of it, separating me from Egypt. I wondered what it could be doing there, but used it anyway. I moved towards the fence and grasped it tightly. I got my whole body involved in climbing up and over the fence, and my surroundings got a lot clearer. When I was on the ground on the other side, I jumped up and down for a few seconds to make sure there was no chance I was going to lose touch with the dream from poor integration.



      I found myself in a quarry. It was a huge hole in the ground, but nothing was happening. It was eerily quiet. I took off and flew downhill in the direction I assumed the pyramids were. I ended up following a wooden train track, which I thought must be for the transport of big blocks of stone for building work. After clearing one last tall sand dune, I saw an Egyptian city. There was one small pyramid, with a much larger one in the early stages of construction. I landed on a ridge overlooking the scene. Around me were a number of large stone blocks, each about the size of a car. It looked like they had been abandoned here. I went over for a closer look and laid my hands on one. It immediately turned a bright bronze-like colour, and looked a lot like metal. Many of the nearby blocks did the same. I flew off the edge of the ridge, and down into the city. I landed at the edge of the unfinished pyramid building site. Nothing seemed to be going on, again. I was curious for an explanation. There were people staring down at me from balconies and rooftops. I shouted,
      "Pharaoh!" A man on the roof of a large building raised his arm. I jumped and flew over to him. He was very old, and wearing a ceremonial headress/crown thing. He didn't seem to want to communicate with me at all anymore. Another man on a different rooftop gestured for me to come over. I ran and hopped to his building. I had a long conversation with this man, who turned out to be the Pharaoh's son. He explained that production had halted on the pyramids, and that his father wouldn't allow him to go to university until it had resumed. I remember he said,
      "What does he know anyway, he's basically mummified already!" I laughed. But down to business.
      "How are the pyramids made?" I asked.
      "Come and see," said the prince, and showed me to the edge of the rooftop. There were lights coming down from the sky through the clouds. Spotlights, which seemed to be scanning the blocks in the area. On finally stopped to scan a block I had turned into bronze earlier. The block then transformed into a bronze golem, which immediately got to work stacking blocks on the base of the unfinished pyramid. A voice boomed down from the sky,
      "He has repaired our equipment. Construction can recommence." The people on rooftops and balconies all around me cheered. The prince turned to me and asked if I could fix a few more blocks before I left. I agreed, and jumped down to the building site. I placed my hands on a huge pile of blocks. They all turned bronze and transformed into golems. After a few seconds, the whole area was buzzing. The golems were lifting, pushing and hammering the blocks of the new pyramid into place.

      I stood back, satisfied. I thought then of waking up into the previous dream level and going back into the gameshow for another round with Cheryl Cole, but I wanted to wake up and remember this dream accurately. I turned and waved. The Pharaoh and prince waved back. I closed my eyes and roughly three seconds later,
      I woke up.

      Banging Cheryl Cole (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I had a very hazy false awakening where I really couldn't tell whether I was awake or not. I had difficulty moving and couldn't see my hand when I checked it, so assumed I must still be asleep. Rather than force myself out of this apparent inertia, I went for a WILD, inside the dream- with the intention of finding myself somewhere else.

      I woke up sitting on a chair in what appeared to be a large, indoor arena for a gameshow. The lighting was low, but there were spotlights zooming about everywhere. The arena itself was covered in ramps and chairs. On each chair was a naked woman reclining. I was highly confused, but quite excited. The voice of Davina McCall (who hosts most UK gameshows) boomed out, explaining that under one of the girls was a playing card, which I had to find without being distracted by them. It was their job to try and seduce me. A klaxon sounded and I ran into the arena. The first girl I came across was an ex, who wasn't too hard to resist, depite the fact that she was naked and covered in massage oil. The card wasn't anywhere around her. I made my way down a ramp and was confronted by a naked Cheryl Cole.



      "Fuck the card," I said, and we had sex on the ramp. It went on for a while, so long I thought I might be wasting lucid time, but it was worth it. When a buzzer sounded indicating that I had ten seconds left, I reached underneath her and pulled out a playing card. I threw it up in the air behind me and got back to business.
    7. Lucid on Purpose :)

      by , 01-08-2011 at 03:26 PM (Lynn's Lucids)
      Last night, I knew I was going to have a lucid dream, because I kept telling myself I would. I have heard of nightmares turning into lucid dreams, but not the opposite. All I remember is the part when I became lucid to the part where I woke up. I have no idea what the dream before that was. "Wait, I'm dreaming!" I said even though I forgot how I figured this out. I suppose my dream mind is becoming more aware, because this happened on purpose, unlike my other lucid dreams. As soon as I knew I was dreaming, I flew. EVERYTIME I find out I am, I just fly, I don't know why! So, I said to myself that I can do anything I wanted. But, I better hurry before time runs out. (Side note, everytime I fly I turn into this other hot chick with blonde hair?) It's weird. So, I flew and things started to fade and fade. It was only vivid for about one nano second. Then, I fell. I kept falling and falling and falling into the darkeness of my old once reaccuring dream nightmare thing. The next thing I know, I can see my eyelids. I can't move or speak, or do anything. I just scream/cry because everytime I do, my mom wakes me up, as she did. The only good thing about this is that it is my first lucid dream I had not because of chance, but because of me Also, I had two other dreams but I don't feel like rewriting them here they take too long
    8. My 75th Lucid Dream!...1/7/11

      by , 01-08-2011 at 01:56 PM (INeverWakeUp's Super Dream Journal)
      So, I start off at some random house. It's a bit dim inside, and it seems as if this room may just be some sort of dresser storage room. WTF? Anyway...there's some evil guy just being his evil self. hurting people, being chaotic, etc. My recall wasn't the very greatest for this dream though, because I didn't do my mantra, and I fell asleep unprepared for good recall. In fact, I fell asleep randomly while playing my DSi. But then, a spark of luck. I instantly became lucid without my dream signs!!!!! Yes! I was happy to know I achieved lucid dream number 75! Well, since I was here, I figured I would stop this evil man. But I feel a bit stupid, because I had completely forgotten my task to get the last three dragon balls. Oh well, next time.

      So, I see there is a gun. I fire, and no ammo. I aim, fire and make gun noises like a retard. I figure: Hey, lucid dream, it might work. I didn't though. So, I had an idea. I turned around. I start to think using intent: I know there is gun with ammo behind me, I plan it! I turn around, and there is my gun. Sweet! I think I recall it was a Barret 50 Cal. sniper rifle.
      Sweet! I take a few shots. Nothing effected him! What the hell?Then, I have another idea. I run over to a further position. I get in ,my fighting stance. Time to blow the f*ck out of this dude. It's time to try out: The Galick Gun. My first go on it. This might not work, but I have to try.I start to power up greatly. I am now in the purple surging energy of the Galick Gun.
      I'm all charged now. I loudly and proudly announce "GALICK GUN!" and I fire the deadly purple beam at the evil man.

      The beam fires and hits him directly! YES! The smoke creas up, and...0.0 He's still alive?! Damn, this guy's tough! However, I now realize that he's badly injured. Time to finish this. I sprint over to him. Standing next to him, I hold a hand in the air. Time for a Destructo Disc! I begin to charge it. It's charged, and I throw it.
      The disc hits him, and cuts him in half! He's dead. Now, I leave the room, and there's my Dad. Then suddenly, I
      awake.

    9. bad recall

      by , 01-08-2011 at 12:30 PM (Tales from the sun chaser.)
      I know I had at least three dreams. I probably need to start writing them down immediately when i wake up instead of at the end of the whole night.

      Edit: Dream one...I was watching some show where there was a lot of blood and over the top violence. There was a wall that had all these satanic symbols pop up. Something like "dead or alive" kept showing up. My sister was asking me if ever played the video game version of the movie that was playing, and I was telling her there was no way it could have been the one I was thinking off.

      My brother started talking to me about ordering pizza. He said something like "every time I come out here, I'm going to order pizza for you, and if you're not here, give me a call, and I'll bring it to you". I started having a really undeserving feeling about things, and began to cry.


      dream two...WILD or DEILD crazy sex with some brunette chick

      Dream three.....something about being at a place with a lot of people. >< almost seemed like I was on vacation. I think I remember seeing a couple of tropical themed bars or something.

    10. Task of the Year for 2011, Casablanca, 30-35 minutes

      by , 01-08-2011 at 11:38 AM
      The dream starts with someone explaining something about 'offside-shootings'. I am watching a document, and my view shifts into it. I am now walking with a camera in my hand, filming a man that steals a car. He throws a dog that was in the car off the car, somehow the dog ends up in a big rubbish bin. I go to the bin and film the dog. It looks sadly at my. I start backing up. An old woman appears and helps the dog off the rubbish bin. I walk for a while. A police officer has stopped the car thief.
      I walk to the car. "You already seem to have several cars so I guess it's okay if I confiscate your car", the officer says to the thief. "Sure, I'll just take my stuff", the thief answers. He takes a packet from the car. The commentator says that theres a gun in the packet. I and the police officer get in the car. I look at the thief. He is curling his fingers like he would be pulling the trigger of the gun.
      We drive off. The police officer asks if I want to drive (or then I asked if I could drive). Anyway I agree. I am now driving the car (I don't have a driving license), though the wheel is on the right side of the car (like in the UK). I see a police car. "That will lead us to the police station", I say to the police officer and follow the car. It turns to someone's yard. I state that the car doesn't lead us to the police station after all. I drive for a while and almost hit several children.
      We arrive to an intersection. I push the brake and manage to stop in time. I start turning to right but remember that the police station is to the left. I drive for a while and realize that the police officer doesn't know I don't have a driving license. I realize that it doesn't matter because I'm dreaming. I consider telling the officer that I don't have a license, just to annoy her but then I decide to do the task of the year. I also consider driving around for a while, but decide to do the task now because the dream has already continued for quite a while.
      I teleport off the car, to the bar. I decide that because Casablanca is black and white, the dream should also be. So when people start forming around me, everything is black and white. The teleporting worsened the dream's quality, but luckily I still am in deep sleep. I see Sam and ask him to play something for me. He starts playing a jazz piece I've never heard before. At the same time I see the sheet music in front of me. After he has finished the piece, a woman arrives. Shortly after this the dream ends.
    11. Longest LD yet

      by , 01-08-2011 at 09:47 AM
      I had about 10min long LD this night and I even had some control.

      I cant remember how it started, but I think it was an FA. I flew try a window (kept my eyes closed) and fell to my yard. I saw my grandparents dog near my fence, barking to some other dogs across the street. I flew over the fence and noticed it was night. I decided to try to change it to day and closed my eyes thinking "when I open my eyes it will be day". It didnt quite work, so I tried to just shout "DAY!" and this time it worked (I even said "thank you" for some reason). I started flying over an road on top of some cars (when I say "fly" its more like "floating on the same height as a normal cars roof is"). I came to an door and opened it. On the other side there was some sort of arcade (with 2 games). The boy playing with the other game asked me to do something because he was in the top 10 (eight if I remember right). When I had done it everyone else disappeared and the lights went off. I shouted "LIGHTS!" and they came back on. I started to look for exit and found it, but there was a pile of burning carbage, or something, blocking the way. I pointed at the pile and said "disappear!" and it vanished in front of my eyes. I walked outside and saw, that I was in some city. I also saw my sister, cousin and grandmother there. Something made me lose lucidity for about 20 seconds, but after that I started to look at the buildings. In front of me there was about 6 storey high apartment. I flew up to look in from some windows and tried to open a door, but it when I opened it, it was a refrigerator, not a front door (weird). I walked behind the building and it was completely different. It was more like a countryside village where there were many small shops. But i couldnt explore more, because my dream started to fade and I woke up

    12. 01/07/11 Whiplash!

      by , 01-08-2011 at 09:18 AM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
      Plans: No plans, but to remember something, unlike last night. The idea of dictating my dream notes, and maybe even whole dreams, is an epic fail as of now. Back to the iPod notes, if no success, back to pencil and paper to switch things up.

      I wake up in bed at Hogwarts. I notice this right away since I'm not my waterbed. I roll over lazily, I really don't want to get up yet, but I feel I'm going to have to do just that. I let out a sigh and sit up in bed, I think I already know where I am, so I look for the trunk at the foot of the bed which usually contains my clothes. The trunk isn't there, and neither is the curtain around my bed. I am also alone in the room, there aren't any other beds, it is clear I have this room to myself. It takes me a couple minutes, but then I realize I'm not a student at this Hogwarts... I'm a teacher. I get out of bed and dress before heading out of my bedroom and into an office. I go from the office into a classroom, this is where I have to wait for students. I look at a book on my desk, a book entitled "Out of the Darkness" by Raven Knight. I'm sure I never actually wrote that book, but it is there. I look in the book and I see the next spell to be taught is Whiplash, which can reflect any spell back at its caster. A very useful spell. Usually I start with this one, but somehow I got distracted onto other spells this time. I haven't waited long before students start coming inside, I watch them enter and take their seats, some of them are acting particularly immature, those someones are Draco, Crabb, Goyle, Harry, and Ron. They finally take their seats so class can begin. I show them the spell Whiplash, we practice it, but nothing unusual happens. I finish teaching the other classes without incident, too.

    13. 1/7/11 - Long LD, Stabilization and Control Win.

      Not dream Non lucid Lucid
      4:30-10:00 PM
      While trying to do a MILD during a nap, I successfully slipped from half-wake to dream state. First accidental WILD. I was relaxing and had a hypnagogic hallucination that I was hovering just above my bed. Then a dream scene enveloped me and I was instantly lucid without dreamsigns/RC's. Little to no rush. I was in a small dark beige-colored room with a door in front of me. It lasted 5 seconds before I turned to face another wall and slowly realized the wall was my bedroom ceiling.

      Reading web news about Syn making a choice to leave A7X. "My Quit or ??? Departure". Talking about them moving base between 2 cities and Syn's difficulty with that.

      1:00-4:00 AM
      I learned about stabilization on DVChat and vowed to try it in my next LD.

      4:00 AM - 10:00 AM
      Longest LD I've ever had to date - felt like around an hour. I don't remember much of the plot, only fragments of the whole dream, which I'm sure is 1 dream. I got lucid in a walled area, but forgot how (no RC's or dreamsigns, and no rush.) When I became lucid, I realized I had to stabilize and maniacally touched the walls and floor. It worked! The dream felt stable. I spun around to make sure the dream lasted and it did. (I went on touching floors and walls in the rest of the dream to prolong it. At one point I remember yelling "Stabiliiiiize~~!!" when I reached an indoor room and started pawing the walls.) I left the building into an open field and started successfully doing control. I made the ground turquoise and the clouds red. (Though I thought "sky: red", only the clouds turned red.) I did many more color changes that I can't remember. Most amazingly though was telekinesis. I could make small objects rise with mind command, and with what I now call a "finger flick" (a flick of my left index), make them fly in the pointed direction.
      Next bits are bits and pieces of what I did in the dream in no plot order.
      - I succeeded summoning Gates! I was in a computer lab of some sort and used passive control. I believed and knew he was sitting in the row behind me. I turned and there he was. (In the attire of the purple lazer pic) I went to him and tried to think of a good opening line, and told him I was looking for someone named Synyster Gates. Crafty bitch pointed to a midget bent old lady and said she was Synyster Gates. I had no idea what to say. He took me to her and we were brought out of the room. I later brought her back but Gates was gone.

      -A game show where people had some cards in front of them. I turned invisible and used telekinesis and the finger flick to chuck the cards around.

      -I teleported myself backstage to an A7X concert.

      -I showed off telekinesis/finger-flick skills to Wong Lee and others. Victoria wasn't too impressed. I remember walking on an expansive field and walking onto a construction site on a gigantic red squishy tomato where Ivy was working. I left and worried if I should wake up, since I thought I was asleep at school during lunchtime and was probably missing some classes. But I thought it would be a waste, so I spun and continued. Victoria came over and I told her I was in a dream and showed telekinesis (failed on large objects, succeeded on small). She asked me about the major project and I said "Later" but felt bad for procrastinating. I went into an apartment bottom with her and used the finger flick to make a fan on the ceiling spin so quickly it lighted up. Lotty was there too and warned that it was releasing sparks. While exclaiming, I got hit with the falling sparks - it stung.

      -A domestic helper I didn't recognize talked about a new bra. My mom told me she'd bought a new pushup. I used passive control to make my boobs bigger and wore the new grey pushup.


      Wake.

      Notes:
      Longest, best-control LD to date (b/c of stabilization techniques). First attempt at and success at stabilization.
      Dream accomplishments: Stabilization, significant passive control, summoning person, large-scale color change, telekinesis.
    14. Dreams of Jan. 07

      by , 01-08-2011 at 04:42 AM
      Had a Lucid dream, it was pretty short unfortunately. It was super cool, I did a reality check in my dream, something I hadn't done before. So I was walking thought a door and thought I should check my clock. I checked and it read 10:09, then before I could look away it turned to 10:10, I looked away and back at it, read 10:09 again, looked away and looked back, read 2:00. I did this a few times and realized I was dreaming, but it fizzled out right away. This happened very early in the night.

      I had another few dreams I believe that centered around the previous dream, one I remember was I was in my cousins basement talking with my brothers, I explained how I looked at my clock and stuff pretty much how I wrote it above.

      I had a dream where I walked outside, I looked up at the skyscrapers and realized I was in New York

    15. Dorothy's Slippers Are Evil!

      by , 01-08-2011 at 04:09 AM (Burke's Nightly Escapades)
      Woo! Completed part of the task of the year

      I was lying in my bed in my room trying to DEILD and was trying to lay still. I had woken up several times after falling back asleep. I finally said screw it and just did a random RC. It worked! I couild breathe through my nose and was lucid! I though of what to do for a minute and remembered some of the task of the year things. I decided to do the one where tou tap Dorothy's slippers and see what happens. I got up and thought to myself that when i wlak through the door i will be in the Wizard of Oz movie. I walked through and i was in the wizards castle!

      Dorothy and all the other characters (lion, tin man, and scarecrow) had just walked in and were being scammed by the "wizard" I walked up to them and told them what was going on, and they all started crying for some reason. I guess they were sad . I walked over and just picked up Dorothy's shoes and put them on. They were tiny though and my feet could barely fit in them. I started to tap them and on the third time
      I woke up... WTH! Damn slippers....

      Oh well, got part of it done
