    2. Vague semi-lucid

      by , 12-17-2010 at 09:30 PM
      I get my gun out from the ships guns locker.
      As I fiddle around with it, it dissembles itself and falls to the floor.
      I try to put it back together, but the more I try, the more it falls apart.
      I become lucid and I remember another of the many thing I have to try and do while being lucid. Contacting another dreamer/sharing a dream.

      I call out to a person of whom I have in the past already chosen as the recipient (due to his experience and openness).
      I call out a second time, but this time as loud,strict and determined as I can.
      It could of been a number of reasons why my dream was now hazy. Maybe because of the amount of energy I put in my voice. Or because the dream was becoming unstable.

      I hear some sort of loud response, as if an annoyed person shouted "What?!" to me.
      A moment later a kind of silhouette appeared in front of me. If it was in fact the person I had been trying to contact, or a manifestation of my mind, I don't know.

      I proceeded to ask questions like "who are you", "what are you" and for some reason "what is going to happen".
      He answered the last question with calm words. Unfortunately, I don't remember what these words were. Even though I specifically told myself to remember.
      As he answered me I felt a cold breeze , his face revealed itself in a flash and I wake up

    3. Attempt to fly to the moon & looking at the mirror

      by , 12-17-2010 at 09:06 PM
      On my way out side I remembered another thing I could do, look at myself in the mirror.
      I went over to the mirror and saw some kind of a demon/zombie, It had my face but with camo on it. I didn't stare at it too long because it was, to be honest, scary looking..

      Eventually I got to the door heading out. Reached up and started to fly (I find it very easy to fly in dreams).
      What I should have done , was to see where the moon actually was. I was to impatient though and because of that I spent a while looking for it in mid air.
      After a while, I saw it. Big, white and looking exactly like it normally does.
      I started flying towards it, making myself going faster and faster. I could actually feel the cold wind on my body.

      I was getting closer and closer but somehow the moon was getting smaller and smaller. Suddenly it was right in front of my, BUT the size of a pea!..It looked like a little light bulb. Being unable to slow down I flew right past it and found myself floating in darkness with no idea where to go.

      Everything was shaking and it felt like I was moving through water.
      I was trying to stabilize it all, but forgot how to.
      I closed my eyes to think and I woke up.

    4. First LD

      by , 12-17-2010 at 09:05 PM
      I forgot to do any of the normal reality checks like looking at my hand ect, I started to spin around to make the dream stable ( I've read so many posts saying thats a good thing to do). To check If it was a dream, I headed out on to the deck to see if there was anything unusual there.
      When I got out, everything around me was completly normal (same location, time of day and so on). Also there were no alarms different lighting or shattering glass (usual dream signs).

      Desperate to see if all this was actully real I concidered jumping overboard, but didn't since I was so unsure if I was dreaming or not.
      Instead I figured I could try to fly.
      I reached up and jumped as high as I could while being absolutely determined to fly. Surely enough..I was flying!
      Being thrilled about being lucid, I started to see how high I could go, but was quickly stopped by this rope kind of thing arround my waist. Though it seemed like it was coming out of my stomach (wierd) and was attached to the boat beneath me..

      This rope started to tug on me and it made me loose my "balance" in the air, making me fall back down. As I hit the deck, I woke up.

    5. Long-distance guy, new guy, & kitty

      by , 12-17-2010 at 08:37 PM (NBF's DJ)
      I had a dream last night where I was at some camp (frequent dream setting) and Colm was there, but he didn't want to talk to me until he saw where this other relationship was going. Then a very good-looking blond guy was there at the top of a hill I was walking up, and he was talking on a payphone. (Does anyone even do that anymore?) He was talking about fixing a car. I pretended to trip near him, and when I came up, I "accidentally" bit his neck. (In dreaming or waking life, boldest move I've ever made sober. The bumpy ride in Cancun in the crowded back seat next to Colm doesn't count. Free pina coladas all day at that resort.) He looked up and smiled. I smiled and said, "Oh! Sorry!" He smiled back and quickly finished his call and I was about to walk away and leave it at that. He started to walk beside me and said, "Kind of weird weather, isn't it?" Now, even I know that in this situation, that's code for, "Let's talk and get to know each other and maybe (adult content) later." So I started to engage him in conversation about the weather.

      Eventually, he says, like most men, "Look, I have to go, but I'll call you later, okay?" Without getting my number. All you can really effectively do at that point is smile and say okay - I've learned through many hard experiences that the more you protest, the worse it gets. But this dude continued, "You have to figure some things out. We've met before. You'll recognize me when you see me again at Mummy Love." Mummy Love was the name of a daycare centre, apparently. I tried to place him, but couldn't, as he continued, "Munich is past." Munich = Germany = Colm. In this dream, Colm was a native German.

      Then I was back in my room with my duffel bag, changing. I was trying to decide whether to wear the dark skinny jeans tonight, at the dance, or wear them the next day for the road trip (when I'd see Colm for sure because we'd say goodbye) and stay away and read a C. S. Lewis book out of the school library instead. I got a feeling I'd be a lot happier hanging back and reading the book. I didn't want to hear that Colm and his girlfriend were growing closer instead of what I expected, which was (and, quite frankly, is) that Colm will continue to feel trapped to the point that it drives him to a breaking point, his girlfriend will pick up on it and it will bother her to the point that she behaves in such a way that pushes him away even faster (yess!! Someone else can be that girl for a change!) and through all this, I will seem like the mysterious and diaphanous memory and the one that he can't have.

      At that point, Incubus meows and shows up from behind a corner. I realize that this is a dream, because I remember that Incubus has died. But I also remember that I'd prayed so hard to be able to hold him again, even in a dream. So I pick him up - but he's covered with litterbox misfire and sweat, the way he was on the second-last day. I handle him carefully - he's almost dead. I don't feel the bliss I usually feel when I'm holding him. (I feel it now that I'm thinking of holding him - it's an all-over glowing in my chest.) Why am I feeling no bliss when I'm getting my prayer answered - being able to hold his dear little physical body again?

      I still can't change the dream. I wake up.

    6. Food Court Lucidity, the Low Cave, the Beach

      by , 12-17-2010 at 06:23 PM
      This is one of my
      Five-Star Lucids


      Type: DILD.
      Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
      Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

      Notes:
      I have no idea where this dream came from! It was very long and extremely clear.

      I was in the food court of some mall. It was a larger room with normal-height ceilings, and was lit well. There were a few nice half-walls to divide up the room into smaller sections, which were then filled with square tables and chairs. The tables were fastened to the ground through thicker poles like in some restaurants, and the chairs were just the regular kind, like something you'd find in a cafeteria.

      There were restaurants lining the walls, and I was situated in front of one of them. It was a fast food type of restaurant with lots of signs and menus against the back wall, and the counter was a few inches lower than it should have been. There were four women standing behind the counter; all four of them were dressed in a pale red t-shirt, and had a navy apron on. They also wore navy visors. One woman had blonde hair in a hairtie, and another had brown hair down to her shoulders. The other two had black hair - one's was straight, and the other's was curly. They looked between the ages of thirty and forty.

      I became lucid when I looked at them, shouting "woohoo!" before calming down. I was lucid enough to be careful of overexcitement, even though I've never woken up from it before. Unfortunately, having forgotten about my current dream goal, I decided to mess around with the dream characters in the food court. I walked up to the counter of the restaurant with the four women and asked them, "how many of there are you?" as if I was very surprised, hoping to get an interesting response.

      "I'm one," the first one said.
      "I'm two," the second one said.
      "I'm three," the third one said.
      The fourth lady didn't answer, but instead a voice from inside the restaurant somewhere said, echoingly and omnipresently, "I'm six."

      I raised my eyebrows and walked away, a bit humored.

      Then, I began to walk towards a woman that was sitting down at a two-chair table by herself. She had dirty-blonde hair down to her shoulders, and was wearing a light pink cashmere sweater, with sleeves that stopped at her arms. I leaned over, putting my elbows on the table, and held an imaginary microphone in my right hand, holding it out to her.

      "You're not real."
      "I know." The DC shrugged it off.
      "What's it like to be a dream character?"
      "It feels real to me."

      "Great answer!" I exclaimed, though I was admittedly a bit disappointed in the reply.

      I walked away, down the food court and past other restaurants and tables, and exited it, as if it were a store. I emerged into the atrium of a mall, and apparently I was on the second floor. There was a big hole in the middle, with the entrances to stores on the sides, like in some mall setups. There was a rather flat escalator leading down to the first floor, not as angled as a normal one. It was probably only at a 20 degree angle to the ground. I walked towards it and superjumped down, taking two jumps to get almost to the bottom. I then walked off the escalator, which turned out to not be moving. None of the DCs walking around the mall noticed.


      I'd now lost my lucidity. About ten feet across from the escalator I'd just came down on, there was another escalator leading back up to the second floor. I ran up it, exerting hardly any energy to do so even though it wasn't moving either, and on this side of the mall the floor was flatter pink carpet - I was in the children's clothing section. I saw a 7- or 8-year old girl walking around with her father, but I ignored it.

      The dream skipped, and now I found myself in the changeroom waiting area of the same section of the mall. This room was small, about five feet by five feet, and there was only one door leading to an actual changeroom. The walls were white. I was sitting on a lighter wooden bench; my dad was beside me. I became vaguely aware that I was dreaming so I got up, turned away from my dad (who was talking about something nonsensical), and told him to be quiet.

      "So, the train is in the park," he said, and laughed loudly.
      "Shut up!" I told him angrily.

      I was trying to turn him into a plate of cookies, but his noise-making was ruining the effect.

      After telling him to close his mouth a billion times, I got fed up. I groaned and looked at him, rolling my eyes in the process. "You suck."


      The dream skipped again, and now I was outside, the time of day probably being in the afternoon. I was in a city, on a smaller grassy hill. There were normal, taller city buildings around me - apartments, condos, and nice large houses. At the bottom of the hill, which wasn't that steep, there was a relatively large burrow made of grey brick and stone. There was grass, some street lights, and a sidewalk on top of it. The entrance to the burrow was low and only two or three feet high, which made me a bit uncertain about going into it. I looked past the burrow, towards my left, and my gaze caught The Matrix's Morpheus and Trinity on a balcony of an apartment complex. The building was rectangular and rather normal looking, if such a thing existed in a dream. Trinity walked into the sliding doors of the apartment, but Morpheus spoke.

      "Where are we going to meet?" he called.
      "Under here," I said, continuing to look at him.
      "Understreet, or underburrow?"

      (There's no such thing as understreet or underburrow!)

      "Under this burrow, dipshit."

      I then proceeded to look away and bring my attention back to the burrow. I walked to the right and went down the hill a few paces, realizing there was a much larger entrance. I went inside and it was pretty dark, but the floor and walls of the cave (which were made of huge chunks of shiny, wet grey rock) reflected some light from the end of the burrow. It was more like a tunnel than anything else, yet it was only seven or eight feet long. There were some Korean or Chinese students in blue jeans and t-shirts who were taking pictures with Kodak cameras, but I walked past them and emerged from the burrow.

      It was now night, and I had walked out onto a beach. The sand wasn't hilly, but pretty flat, and felt soft under my feet. At this time, I wasn't sure if I was wearing socks or shoes but I didn't care. I walked down the empty shore (except for the water and sand) for a little while and then came across a forty-foot high cliff made of dark brown rock. I stopped and looked out at the water, and then the moon, which was relatively glazed-over and hazy. The sky was dark navy with grey patches, as if there were low-hanging clouds.

      I heard someone walking up to me. I looked and saw a small Asian girl, probably around the age of six or seven, coming towards me. She was wearing a plain, sleeveless, yellow-beige dress with accents of white half-circles lining the bottom of it. She held out a rounded rectangular bar of light pink soap, and I took it. It didn't feel slippery or, really, like soap. It just felt like a smooth stone, but not as heavy.

    7. First Lucid Dream

      First Lucid Dream (WILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I was in bed trying to lucid dream (WILD/DIELD) when my mom outside kept calling my name. I got the impression that my dog ran out of the house into the rain and we needed to look for him. The dog had somehow escaped out of the bedroom and out the front door when my dad entered. Frusterated I didn't respond. (Partly because I wanted to stay in bed since it was nighttime) Eventually though I got up to find my dog inside the house. I asked my Mom why she woke me up and she said look how fun he's having with his new toy. I pick my dog up and grin as my sister tries to pet him but me keeping him out of the distance. Eventually I let him down. I walk into the master room with him running in and I see a second dog! I could tell this one was a girl or something. Anyways, it was playing with the toy and my Dog came out, stared at it and the second dog dropped the dog and layed down. My dog played with the toy. Now I try to grab the toy but my dog jumps up on the bed as he isn't suppose to and I tell my mom to push him off while trying to grab the toy. He falls off still having a grip on it until I yank it up making him lose the grip. He lays down like the second dog when I stare at him and I smile tossing it back down and walking back to my bedroom. In bed I attempt my WILD again. I was biking with my friends down a hill then up a hilly sidewalk. I already knew I was it was a dream since I had been here in my other WILD attempts (In the same night) My friends were talking about some bicycle show and then some laptop show. Ignoring them I get off the bike at the apogee of the sidewalk at some checkpoint station. I walk to out and turn around and trace my hands along the door handles. (The kind you push on) Being careful to avoid having too much attention on one thing which I believe your not to do, I examined different objects. Walking out ahead (The checkpoint was just before the corner of an intersection of the city) I was in the corner of the sidewalk thinking my friends went down the theater stairs in front but at the same time I thought they could've turned right. Anyways, ignoring that, I look up at the moon which was descending pretty fast. I take my left hand and make a circle with my pointer finger and my thumb, circle it around the moon, and try to pull it down to the other side of Earth to make it day time. Instead, it turns into a scary spherical robot with missles. (Huge!) It shoots missles at me and I get scared. So I go back to the checkpoint doors, close my eyes, and will myself to wake up.

      Upon waking up, I realized that the first part of the dream was a False Awakening. (Atleast it led to a lucid dream) Hope to do more Reality Checks

    8. family scenes, jesus and moon; revised screenplay; evading gunman; after spaceflight

      by , 12-17-2010 at 02:30 PM
      Good morning, everybody.

      The endings of the first and third dreams were lucid. The first three dreams happened between 1:30 AM and 3:30 AM. The fourth dream happened between 5 AM and 5:45 AM.

      Dream #1

      I was with a couple of my nephews in a car that was driven by my grandmother. I may have been getting a ride back to the airport after my visit back home. It was a nice, sunny day.

      My grandma asked me where I'd like to eat. I may have felt like a little kid at this point. I didn't want my grandma to have to pay for a big meal, so I said, "Oh, just Burger King will be fine."

      We began driving up a winding hill, the face of which was brownish rock. My grandma said, "No. We're going to go to a sit down place to have some food. Let's go to Denny's."

      We were at the top of the hill, in some kind of parking lot. Behind my grandma, from a view out her window, down the slope of parking lot and across some street, I could see a Denny's. Out my window and slightly up the parking lot's slope, I could see the car my mom was driving.

      My grandma said, "You go tell your mom we are going to Denny's, and that she is coming, too. Don't let her make any excuses. Tell her I'm paying for all of you."

      I was at my mom's vehicle, looking in from the passenger-side window. The vehicle was tall, like a tall van or SUV or pick-up truck. My mom sat at the wheel, giving me an almost dead look. I understood she was almost scorning me for thinking she'd go to Denny's with my grandma.

      Somehow I was in my mom's car, riding down the hill, possibly to Denny's. I was trying to keep my mom's emotions under control.

      We were now at my family's house. My mom and sister and I were playing with a little boy and a little girl, "my niece and nephew." We were all sitting on the floor, which was kind of cluttered with toys and clothes.

      The little boy was doing something cute, but the little girl got really jealous. She did something mean to the little boy, hurting the little boy, and then started crying herself. Either my mom or my sister started comforting the little girl. They fed her a bottle which had a fleshy look to it, like a bottle-shaped breast.

      The girl seemed to have a weird-shaped head and weird shaped eyes. The head and eyes got weirder and weirder as I looked at the girl eating. I stood up and walked toward the kitchen.

      There were a mattress, some blankets, and some other stuff strewn on the floor right before the doorway to the kitchen. I stepped over all that stuff to get into the kitchen. But among that stuff, I saw that there was a little baby boy who had been forgotten under a bunch of blankets.

      I knelt down and uncovered the little baby boy. It looked like a white-furred monkey with black eyes. It was swaddled in a blanket. I picked it up. I felt there was something meaningful, almost psychological, about my having found this baby boy and having started to care for it.

      My sister and mom knelt near me. My sister took the baby. As I handed it to her, I felt like I needed to see it again, as if I couldn't believe I'd seen it at all. But now it was a "cell phone," which looked more like a blue, plastic alarm clock with green-lit punch keys on the underside.

      My sister handed me the phone. I started talking with my sister on the phone. It was like she was no longer in front of me..

      My sister said, "Yeah, it's probably not a good idea to tell F (my oldest nephew) about some of the things you did. It makes him think it's okay for him to do them. I mean, you think it's funny, and I think it's funny. But mom thinks it's just destructive in her house."

      I replied, "Yeah, that's cool. We just come from different generations, I guess."

      As I was saying this stuff, I found myself in another room, "my bedroom," which was more like a big room in a museum. The room was gently lit with warm, white-gold light. I wasn't on the phone. I was laying on something like a bed, on my left side.

      I was looking at a huge painting, maybe 5 meters long and 3 meters tall. It was of Jesus, just his head, before a blue sky. His hair flowed as if blown by the wind, like you sometimes see happening for female anime characters.

      Jesus had blood on his head and face, from the crown of thorns. The blood was also blowing in the wind. The blood then turned into red and orange leafs blowing in the wind. There might have been canopies of red and orange leafed trees in the background.

      For some reason, this fall-themed crown of thorns painting made a lot of sense to me. I began to wonder why there wasn't a fall-related holiday relating to the life of Christ.

      I rolled onto my back and then onto my right side. The room was dark. I was looking at another huge painting, this time winter-related. It had something to do with Jesus' footprints in the snow.

      But there was something weird about the snow. It actually looked like boot-tracks on the moon. I realized Jesus wasn't in this painting at all. It was just a painting of boot-tracks on the moon. Yet it seemed so mystical to me that I reached up my arm (a child's arm?) parallel to the tracks.

      Suddenly I realized I was dreaming.

      I sat up. I was on the floor. I stood slowly. The room was dim, almost completely dark. The painting which stood before me was now even larger. The only detail I could see on this painting was near the lower left (my left) corner of the painting. It was the back of an almost naked person. The back was huge, muscular. But I couldn't tell iif it was male or female.

      Next to the painting was an enormous (maybe 1.5-2 meters tall), metallic vessel, probably silver, on a stout, white pedestal and under a plexiglass display cube. The "bowl" of the vessel had a weird, nest-like tangling of metal, as tangled and fine as moss, which was incredible, considering how big this vessel was. The "neck" was smooth and polished.

      Walking around, I kept feeling myself fade out of the dream. I tried to keep calm and hold onto the dream as long as I could. But eventually everything went black and I woke up.

      Dream #2

      I was in some big room like a school cafeteria on the second floor of a building. There were a lot of long tables with bench seats. The light was nice, incandescent. I sat at a smaller table with my friend T and a friend of hers, who I at first thought was Japanese.

      T's friend and T were here to study. I had helped T with some kind of study project. I was apparently here to hand off a paper with my revisions. But now T took out a copy of a screenplay I'd written, with a lot of revisions on it.

      The screenplay seemed to have been printed on 11x17 paper, so that two pages showed on each side. The first page was covered with pencil-revisions, in a really nice, narrow cursive hand. I understood that the rest of the screenplay was just as full of revisions.

      At some point, T's friend reached over and scribbled something in the margins between the two pages. It said something about how T was my girlfriend. The T's friend said something out loud, and I realized T's friend was actually Chinese.

      I felt odd about the implication that T was my girlfriend. But right after that T may have called me her boyfriend. I may have been happy about that.

      Dream #3

      It was night. I was walking down a sidewalk in front of some apartment buildings. A young, black man in a bright red hooded sweatshirt, black bubble-jacket vest, and jeans ran into an apartment building. Seeing me, the guy slowed down and gave me a kind of suspicious glance. He then ran the rest of the way into the building.

      I knew somehow that the guy had been planning to kill me for a while. Now that I had just gone past his building, he figured he might as well shoot me now.

      I saw him, through some windows, run up a stairwell, then run back down it. I knew he had just gone into his apartment to pick up his gone, and that he was now coming back for me.

      I didn't walk any faster or try to get away. I figured if it was going to happen, I couldn't avoid it, even though I'd probably be really afraid once things really started happening.

      I was now walking through a long hallway in a dorm building or apartment complex. The hallway was kind of dumpy, with white walls and stark, fluorescent lighting. There was somebody following me. But it now felt like an older, white man rather than a young, black man.

      I came to a door, which I knew was for the apartment of the man who lived in the apartment directly above my apartment. I knocked on the door, thinking I'd finally take him up on his invitation to come up and hang out some time. I figured this way, I could throw the stalker off my trail.

      The door was a really weak wood. I knocked. The door was now a heavy door with a thin window on the left side. Through the window, I saw a small hallway and the another door. A college-aged girl opened the far door. She waved me in.

      I thought the door was locked. But as soon as I pushed on the door, there was a buzzing, and the door opened. I walked into the smaller hallway. The woman was gone, which struck me as strange. I realized I was all alone. This struck me as odd.

      Suddenly I realized I was dreaming. I almost lost the dream right there. But I calmed down.

      I told myself to keep walking, and just to explore the space. I walked past the small hallway. There was another small hallway. The walls here had wooden drawers set into them, like old library card catalog drawers, except that they looked really light and cheap. I thought this was an interesting place, full of files or something. But I kept going.

      I walked through another door. I was now in a very small room with a small, grey-painted metal stairway and second level and a bunch of grey-painted, metal lockers. Below the balcony of the second level, the room seemed to twist off into a much smaller corridor. The staircase also had a metal-railed gate in front of it. The place kind of reminded me of small rooms in the Intrepid aircraft carrier.

      I was surprised that I was all alone, and I kept on gurad for a person, who I assumed would probably not be very kind. I remembered that in my last long lucid I had met a really crazy person.

      I had two options for exploring. I chose to go up the staircase instead of around the curve on the first level.

      I floated over the gate. I almost floated up the staircase. But I felt like the floating was actually causing me to lose my dream-control. So I grabbed the railings of the staircase and forced myself to walk up.

      I had a weird feeling through the rest of this dream. I felt very closed in. I could hear my breath, like I was wearing a space suit.

      I felt very warm. Walking up the steps, to my left, I saw a clothing rack full of old, pale blue and white button-up shirts. It looked like they were for a somewhat old man. Above that, there was a shelf piled with upside-down, round-brimmed, straw hats. I picked one up and fiddled with it a little. It looked like it was in bad shape.

      I got up to the balcony. There were more lockers. It looked at first like I couldn't go anywhere else from here. But then I realized that there was a hallway or something off to the right.

      In waking life, my computer made a loud noise. I woke up.

      Dream #4

      I had been in space, flying some kind of space vehice. I barely remember anything. I remember being high up in the sky, coming back down, around sunset, when the sky was a vivid purple.

      I was now taxiing an airplane (?) into an airport with my mother. We were "parked." My mom went into the airport to take care of something before we went home.

      I sat in the backseat of a car, outside a metal-walled building like some staff building at an airport. I was still waiting for my mom. The sky still had a deep-blue-purple post-sunset look. It was kind of cold.

      I could imagine what was going on between my mom and the people she was talking to. The people were something like military people. I could see, in particular, one tall, older, white man who kind of looked like a very thin Stan Lee, wearing a green military uniform for formal occasions.

      My mom was asking the military man what he would do now that she'd told him about the weird adventures I'd been through, which were undeniable fact.

      The military man said, "I'll do the same thing I do to every mother and son who comes in here telling me stuff like this. I'll tell them to get out. I had money to pay attention to this kind of stuff the first few times it happened. But now it's happening all over the place and -- you mothers and kids are bleeding me dry!"

      I was sitting in the trunk of the car, with the trunk opened just a crack. I thought of getting out of the trunk and telling the military man something about my experience that was so unique that he wouldn't want me to go away. Plus. I would tell him, I didn't want his money. I just wanted to tell my story.

      I thought to myself (why?) that this was a lot like a Joyce Carol Oates story (which it wasn't).

      I opened the trunk all the way and sat out of it to see one of my female cousins, A, walking down the tall stairway of another metal-walled building. She came my way. I could tell she would be mad at me for not having spoken with her for a long time.

      By the time she got to me, my mom was there, too. I was standing by the car. There seemed to be a miniature living room surrounding the car as well.

      I was trying to explain something to my cousin about how I couldn't include her on something my mom and I were doing. As I did so, I was kneeling by a small bookshelf and going through some items.

      I stood up to see my cousin kneeling on the opposite side of the bookshelf. My cousin now had weird, plasticky, shiny, black hair, like an anime character. She was also wearing some kind of red and yellow uniform that reminded me of an anime character.

      My cousin gave me a half-mad, half-disappointed look. I tried to make her less mad by saying something half-heartedly interesting about anime.

      (Note, evening, Dec. 17: I think the "crown of thorns" image in my third dream is influenced by a set of images from a photo slideshow I saw yesterday on the US version of Reuters.com. The slideshow was just the normal "editor's choice" picks of global photos, I think.

      But it showed a lot of images of people in England, Greece, Turkey, and other countries, involved in some form of protest. A lot of the photos showed people who had sustained head injuries during the protests. What really struck me was that these people were still protesting, even after having been hurt.

      So I don't think the "crown of thorns" image is entirely about Christ.

      Also I thought at first that the metal vessel in the first dream was just a really big symbol for the male, uh... parts. I still think that's the case. The painting of the man's or woman's backside and the giant... parts right next to each other seems like an image readily supplied by the unconscious.

      However, I also think the image stands for a couple other things. First, I think it's an upside-down version of a brain and neck. In my fourth dream I also have an upside-down head (the hats) near a torso (the shirts). I don't know why the head and neck have been important in my dreams lately. But they have.

      Second, I think the vessel is like a jet or rocket engine: a bunch of fine, intricate pipes and valves, ending in a big propulsion valve. Anyway, I guess jet engines can be phallic or intestinal, depending on how you look at them.

      None of this is a big deal. I just write it down to help me focus.)

    9. Lucid Dream Fragment...12/17/10(Early Morning)

      by , 12-17-2010 at 12:31 PM (INeverWakeUp's Super Dream Journal)
      I dream I'm in a random house. I cannot recall if it was a random house or my apartment. Anyway...I was in a conversation with my friends on the stairs. The only friend I can recall was Staci W. Also, why the hell was I on a staircase? I found it funny not to be in a room. So, randomly, Green Day(DS) is added to our multifriend conversation. I am about to do an RC, but then, I just become an RC! I go downstairs, leaving my friends behind. Wait, what the hell was I gonna do??? Damn it. In the confusion of trying to think of what to do, I awake.

    10. Wild horses

      by , 12-16-2010 at 08:28 PM (Ruesia's Dream Journal)
      Had this dream on Dec. 15. Slept better than normal- still woke up every hour

      I remember walking through a wooded area. I am walking beside the street. There are redwoods. The sun is shining. It must be spring or summer. There is no real traffic, just walking tourists. I see a horse up ahead, running down the road. She is running toward us. A sorrel mare with a white blaze and socks. I jump out in front of her to catch her and she immedaitely turns her heels and kicks at me. I realize I have no rope and try to find one as she gallops back up the road. Other people start to try to catch her, and suddenly other horses are on the road loose. People start to catch them and then other women riding horses show up and try to help. I am still trying to catch that sorrel mare, trying to loop a lead rope I found around her neck. For some reason, I can't seem to make the rope go in a loop though, its like I am sluggish and can't operate normally. I then notice a younger girl, maybe 16, is riding the sorrel mare I've been trying to catch. I give up and drop my lead rope. I walk into a nearby restaurant and walk to find an empty table. There is a man there, my age, and he is looking at me. He tells me he knows I have to go. He is awkwardly watching me as I acknowledge I do have to go home. He reaches forward to hug me, and I awkwardly pat him. He then kisses my cheek, telling me he knows he shouldn't. I just irritably nod and walk off.

      --

      I am in a coastal, southern city. I am in a well-decorated, expensive looking smaller house. My fiance is there. We are getting ready for work. I realize its quite late in the morning, but I am struck by him and want to just stay home and spend time together. He keeps pushing me off, telling me we're late. I know we are. I think about making a pot of coffee. Its a red coffee maker. It is a weird coffee maker- one I've never used before. There is already water in it, and in the pot. I pour the water from the pot out. I try to load some coffee grounds in a filter, but they spill all over. I give up.

      For some reason, my fiance is going to ride to work with my parents. They're going to ride bicycles. They show up at our door and I am unhappy that they appeared when I am trying to spend quality time with my fiance. My dad gets on a tandem bike with my fiance and they ride off. I realize I have to leave too because I'm going to be late.

      I consider this lucid, because I kept thinking about how I needed to make a pot of coffee when I woke up

      MTG game on the forest. (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Three dreams, two lucid:

      Third:

      A lot happened, and it is recorded, but I do not want to bore readers. If you do not play Magic the Gathering, do not read the spoiler. We were playing in the middle of the forest.

      Spoiler for MTG Game:

      When I threw the card, it had no picture, it was empty. I started to search for the card and I saw it on my back, but when I threw it, I saw two more cards. I started wondering what was going on and I RCed.

      I had seven fingers on my hands and turned lucid. I floated and Armin asked me what the hell I was doing. I told him we were dreaming, but he negated it.

      I told him to count his fingers, when he did count six he said, "It looks too real!!"

      The clock woke me up.

      Cursed House (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Three dreams, two lucid:

      Second:

      I was in a huge old abandoned house that it was cursed. It was said a crazy women died in there. I was looking for a piano. I wanted to make a photo of it. I had a crystal bowl on my hand I wanted to create echo to find the piano.

      I tried to turn on some lights, but they worked oddly. I went to the top floor and I saw five cats. Three of the cats attacked me. I wanted to make a photo of one of them, but it was faster and it attacked me all the time.

      A lady told me to leave the house. She warned me that she was going to call the police. I ignored her and she told, "You are being called to court now. The judge will see you know"

      I left the house, worried about being arrested and I hopped it was just a dream.
      I looked at my hands and it was indeed a dream.

      I started to fly over a small river, looked at the house and I decided to blast it. While I was floating on the river, I tried to create an energy blast without success. I then flew against the water to create a small Tsunami and soak the house.

      I got to the coast and met with my wife. I told her we were in a dream and told her to count her fingers, but I woke up.

      Space Busses (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Three dreams for the 14th.

      Second:

      I was in a hotel and lucidity triggered. I double checked with my hand and I had six fingers. My level of lucidity was low, the dream quality was not very intense. I decided to jump out of the window, but I was not very sure if it was the right thing. I checked my hand again and counted the fingers. I decided to jump out the window.

      It was day outside and very sunny. I wanted to go at high speed, head first into the ground to increase quality. Quality increased a little and I started to fly, but my lucidity was not great. I started to feel double consciousness as my wife was moving in bed.

      I was in space and I wanted to Astral Project. I was floating in the middle of space and I saw a few school busses in the middle of space. I landed on one of them and tried to fall on my back. The dream vanished.

      I was in a different scenery. Stewie from Family Guy had an Astral Double. He was freaking out as he though he died. I had a FA in my room and my wife was in the bathroom.

      [/COLOR][COLOR="#00008B"]My friend C was the only person there and she just said, "Well you were gonna show me something..." I decided I might as well show her some magic, giving that this is a dream. There was a bottle of OJ near meand I thought I might do something with that, I held my hand out and it just came to me, I poured it out and the fluid was changing colour while levitating. I moved the fluid around a bit, doing some tricks until I made it vanish. C asked how I'm doing this, I didn't tell her, but she said she heard of soemone else who can do these things, who could change the colour of something by rubbing their hand along it. I then put my hands together and slowly seperated them to make a portal disk in between my hands, and slowly made it bigger. when it was big enough, I put it on the wall and went through, I saw C follow me with a happy look, wondering what I was going to do next. We ended up at the lockers, with no-one else there either. I held my hand over some locks, slowly moving from lock to lock as each of them self unlocked. When I was done I made a sort of pulse to push open each locker as things poured out.

    15. still searching part 3?

      by , 12-15-2010 at 08:23 PM (Tales from the sun chaser.)

      DILD...crap recall
      I remember trying to teleport to Walms after throwing several black holes on the wall and stepping through one . When I got to the next location, it was a dark area, and I saw some fast moving light flying by. I remember trying to catch up to it thinking it was him.
