I find myself walking the halls of some unknown building. Everything is dark, bland, mundane. There's a fat lady who's super pale. I can see the blueish green veins all throughout her face. "Maybe everyone works the night shift here", I think to myself. I head to a bathroom. Two people are talking about me, and one guy is suspicious of what I'm doing there. One lady says "he's not going to do anything to you, he's a miracle christ child". I don't want to start any trouble so I let it slide. She says it again though, and heads into the bathroom stall. Some guy goes in after her....does whatever he has to do, and then another guy heads in. The guy sitting asks if I'm going next. Disgusted at the whole ordeal, I tell him no.

I stood up, and headed to this huge black sink. The bathroom attendant was there watching me wash my hands. Theres another guy handing out free Gillette razors for the people that are in there. The attendant looks at me and says "is there something wrong?". I'm fighting gum thats stuck to the upper right section of my molars. My hands are clean so I dig in there. Finally I get it out and toss the gum into the black sink and tell him "Nah, I'm good". I head outside, not knowing that troubles would ensue.

My teeth feel funny. As I brushed my tongue across my molars, I noticed several were loose. I noticed the wisdom tooth was about to come out. In fact, it was split in half. I wiggled them, and tried to evenly get both loose. Then I finally spit it out. I felt other teeth become loose. I started spitting them out. I spit out some sort of white flat square that had a sand dollar pattern on it. I picked it up, and some of my teeth. WTF....maybe I can get a doc to fix this. My cousin shows up.

He's dressed nicely, and is with some random DC. He starts saying he hasn't seen me in forever, and wants me to get back into music. We're walking and talking, and a girl catches my eye. I continue on, and apparently he turned around and started talking to her. Theres two of them, so I'm thinking wingman mode. I actually recognize one girl, and she's trying to set him up with the original girl I saw. I could hear her saying something about "black guys".

Something happened.....either something in the conversation, or the way we saw those people twice, but I'm not really sure. I just know I knew I was dreaming.

I walked up to girl, grabbed her and flew up in the air with her, and landed. (I was really thinking about doing an inverted spinning suplex on her her at first, but she seemed cool) I tried it again, and noticed when we reached a certain height it felt like we were just standing because I had pressure on my feet. Some random DC flew up to where we were, and tried to take her, and I flew back down with her. Never saw that DC again. I tried something different. I laid down on my back, and asked her to get on top of me. She straddled me and smiled. We flew up and down several times, and I noticed I didn't feel the pressure anywhere. Then she started getting freaky. I guess plan B we on her mind, and just when I started to give into what she was doing, I woke up.

Note: Tonight I pulled a Walms! FA, get out of bed, RC… continues to have a nice lucid dream… *does the happy dance* I just wish I could make myself do a RC every time I wake up in the night or in the morning, I would catch a lot more FA's… Yay for FA's!

I woke up in bed, got up to use the bathroom, and for once I thought to do a RC right away… and it turned out I was dreaming! Awesome! I was in the middle of a real FA!

For some reason this idea seriously excited me at that point in time, almost as if I had never had a FA before, and I had to focus to calm myself down a bit before focusing on remembering what my goals for the night were. I remembered that one of my goals had been to go meet Erik's guide with MoSh, but that was already done. So what was my next goal? I didn't have any other goals for the night, so that meant I was free to figure out what I wanted to do. I thought I could check out the house in Oblivion, the one in Skingrad, and even though I hadn't been in contact with Tigress I could still do something there on my own. Hmmm… instead, maybe I would try to just try to open a portal to get somewhere I was needed. I focused on Through the Never and on opening a portal, then I went through that portal…

I found myself back in MoSh's inner world, which took me by surprise since I had already completed the goal I had with MoSh. So maybe there was something else I had to do with MoSh tonight, which was fine, but first I had to find him. I looked around MoSh's inner world for a bit, taking real notice of it for the first time, and realizing things there were far from normal. Things were quite dark and creepy, like used to happen quite often, but it hasn't happened much recently, so what might have happened to create this problem? Since I thought that might be why I was there, to clean up the place, I started focusing on cleaning up the dark energy and replacing it with light energy. I went into MoSh's house and started cleaning up in there, I saw Asuka in there as well. She was clearly not well, she was cackling like some kind of a mad woman, and her eyes were solid black. She was throwing some kind of strange energy bolts at me, they seemed to be made of solidified dark energy. I could tell she needed serious healing, so I focused on the song Silver and Cold to pull dark energy out of her and Touch My Heart to replace it with light… and she disappeared.

I didn't know where Asuka had gone, but I figured I would find her again soon, as long as she hadn't left MoSh's inner world… and if she had left MoSh's inner world, I would track her down then. I continued through the house, absorbing dark energy from the place and replacing it with light, then I went back outside and continued doing that. I walked around for a bit absorbing dark energy, I wondered where MoSh might be, and where were the kinds, Data, the EMH he recently installed? Was this really MoSh's inner world? Or could I be in the wrong place? Well, no matter where I was, Asuka had been there and she had been seriously infected. Maybe I should find Asuka next, then check to see if I was really in MoSh's inner world or if I might be in the wrong place somehow… after all, I hadn't focused on reaching MoSh's inner world, I had just focused on going somewhere I was needed.

As I was about to open a portal to track Asuka down I saw that I wasn't alone, there was someone else there standing not too far from me. I went over to investigate and see who it was, it looked like he was surrounded by an aura of dark energy, but it looked stable and I didn't sense hostility… So I went over to investigate the person closer, to see what he was doing there, and when I got closer to him I recognized him… it was Walms! I went over and said hello to him, I asked if he was here to clean up some of this dark energy, after all it would be just a midnight snack for him… He didn't answer me, instead he looked at me with a puzzled look on his face, if it wasn't for the fact that he is lucid in 99.9% of his dreams, I would have thought he wasn't lucid there. But then he does have a few non-lucid dreams… occasionally. I told him he was dreaming, maybe he should do a RC, check out the gravity of the area or whatever it is he does for a RC. He looked at me strangely, making me have serious doubts that I had identified him correctly, I was having serious doubts that it was Walms at all…

I felt I needed to clean the place up, so I continued absorbing dark energy, and I saw that Walms, or the person I had first thought was Walms, was doing the same. I continued cleaning up dark energy, Walms and I got separated while I was cleaning the place up, and I ended up wandering into the garden area out behind MoSh's house, where I found Asuka. She looked just as nuts as she had before, she attacked me with dark energy bolts again, I dodged the attacks and jumped up into the air, sending a couple of tendrils of Witchblade to hold her and keep her from disappearing again. I looked around, and the area that might or might not be MoSh's inner world was much cleaner than it had been, it looked a lot brighter and was clear of dark energy, so now I had to get Asuka healed. I focused on the songs I had tried to use before, Silver and Cold to draw dark energy out and Touch My Heart to put light energy in, and this time it seemed effective. After the song spells had completed, Asuka looked like her normal self and seemed quite confused at the fact she was tied up, so I let her loose.

The first thing Asuka was wanting to know about was MoSh, she said she didn't know where MoSh was, she might have done something to MoSh, she said she should have known something like this would happen, she knew she would never be able to keep control if she tried to fight, why had everyone insisted she try to fight when we all knew she would lose control again? Why? I told her I thought Vegeta and Tuvok had helped her with that, but she said there's no way either of them would ever understand the force inside her, that there is no way she could control it… I saw she was crying, saying she was sure she'd done something horrible, and it was MoSh she had done it to, so what now? I told her MoSh can't be seriously hurt in a dream, but let's find him. I opened a portal, focusing on finding MoSh, and then I led Asuka through the portal.

On the other side of the portal I found MoSh was there, and he was there with Kaomea, he looked quite worried about something. He seemed glad to see me, he said Kaomea needed healing, he said he had tried to heal her as best as he could, but she really needed to be taken to the healing glen for healing there. I said Asuka could probably use the extra positive energy, too, as she had been really badly infected somehow. I focused on opening a portal to the healing glen, and then all of us went through it, MoSh, Asuka, Kaomea, and me. I telepathically contacted Basara even as we were going through the portal, so when we exited into the healing glen, Basara showed up there soon after. The Crystal Golem was there, and we did a group healing spell, Basara, MoSh, and I did healing spells along with the Crystal Golem, the entire area was filled with golden energy. The golden energy was very relaxing, and it is here that I woke.

I go back in for another attempt... everything spinning, and suddenly stops. It's still black, and I know all I need to do is get up and RC. I relax a bit, get up and RC. Everything's all good. I clasp my hands for a couple of seconds to make sure the dream is stabilized. So far so good, it's time to head out the door.

I'm blown away by what I saw! I'm in the cave in Destiny Island. All the drawings Sora and Kari made are etched on the walls, along with some of the colourings Naminé made in the white room. I really didn't expect to see this. I tried to take it all in as I was amazed by all of the detail. And then in a moment, everything turned into an infinite outer space. It was like I was in some glass pod looking at the universe......then I woke up.

I start out in my room like always, and then I head towards the living room. I see my pops is listening to the game on the radio. It's time to got down to business. I headed back down the hallway and started focusing on a black hole portal. Theres electricity pulsing from my hands, and the hole is forming. I look down at it, and I'm pretty amazed at how realistic it's looking....like too realistic. I lose a little focus, and just when I'm about to trow it against the wall, it turns into a ball.

The ball flies into the wall, and sticks temporarily, and falls on the ground. The ball melts into a black puddle that I'm familiar with. "Not what I was expecting, but it'll do". I hopped into the hole, and focused on reaching my DG, and I started thinking about what I was going to ask her. I turn up back in my room.

I head out, and tell myself she's going to be at the door, and when I started going for the door....FA I didn't RC and was bombarded by wondering why a string of events were happening with various DC's until I woke up.

Note: I fell asleep tonight with a couple plans with MoSh, though I didn't have any actual plans with Tigress since I wasn't able to talk with her today for some unknown reason… I fell asleep with my light / sound machine as usual, and I was once again successful in slipping into a WILD. Each time I do this it is amazing, since I went for so long being unable to do it or even have a lucid dream or even remember many non-lucids!

As I entered my WILD, I found I was in MoSh's inner world as I often am, I looked around but I didn't really have enough time to really see anything before MoSh was beside me saying he knew where to find Erik's guide. He said he really wanted to see what EG had to say, so he hoped at least one of us would remember, and by one of us he meant me… I said he should at least try to have a positive attitude, but didn't go any farther than that. MoSh opened a portal and the two of use went through into a wide green field, there was a stage at one end of the field, it looked like an outdoor concert venue. There were people on the stage setting up musical equipment, getting things ready, but they didn't seem to be in any kind of a rush. I saw the man I have come to recognize as Erik's guide not far off, he came over to us and said he had been expecting us. With that the scene around us changed, apparently EG had teleported us somewhere else, I now saw we were in a small but comfortable room, I couldn't tell much about it other than there were seats for everyone and a small fridge from which EG took three beers and tossed one to MoSh and one to me.

EG sat down and took a drink from his beer, then said he also knew why we had come here, that surprised me a bit, but it didn't seem surprising to MoSh at all. I figured it was normal for EG to answer questions before they had even been asked? Was he reading our minds right now? Puppies lift their legs so they can fly from the force created when they take a piss… that was what I thought… no reaction from anyone, so either that wasn't as weird as I thought it was or no one was reading my mind. Instead of acknowledging my thought in any way, EG started talking on a different subject, he was talking about what we had come to ask him. He was talking about MoSh getting together with Kaomea, he was saying that of course it was a possibility, anything is possible, but that doesn't make it easy. He said anything worth having is worth fighting for, and if it works out like it should, this would definitely be worth it.

MoSh wanted to know why this would have to be so difficult, why couldn't something be easy for a change, hadn't he earned it? EG said a life of ease isn't something you earn, it's something you create… and it is also almost always considerably less rewarding than the lives of those who choose the more difficult paths. EG said that MoSh was wondering why there would be resistance to him getting with Kaomea, but he had already noticed the reason even though he hadn't acknowledged it as such. He said that MoSh is not really supposed to be in this world, this was not where he had been intended to go, something had sent him here anyway. He asked MoSh if he hadn't sensed this at numerous points in his life, that he was an outsider in his own world… before MoSh could answer, EG said of course MoSh had felt that way, this is also one of the signs that a person is likely to be a nagual.

My mind wandered a bit, making me wonder if MoSh was an outsider like I am an outsider, maybe there was still a chance to find someone out there that would want to be with me? Or maybe my one chance was gone, having turned out to be with a complete asshole. Now I found out that EG could read my thoughts. He said that yes, an outsider can indeed find a soul mate in a world that wasn't meant to be their home, it just doesn't work easily. He said he knew of the events I was talking about, with the one I call James (my ex boyfriend), and when it had started it had the potential to work out fine. The main problem was that negative energies poisoned us, created problems between us, then eventually consumed the weaker of us, which was James. That made James into an asshole, trying for quite a while to push me away as I was still fighting the forces to stay together… until it finally worked, until he had finally done so much hurt to me that there was no way I would… or should… stay with him. He said it might not seem like it, but I was actually the one to come out on top in that situation, I was currently much better off than James.

MoSh wanted the topic back on him and Koamea, he said he wanted to know what he had to do in order to make things work out with her. EG gestured towards me, he said that meeting me might just have given MoSh the added knowledge he would need in order to make this relationship work, to overcome the forces that would seek to force them apart. He said when I had been trying to hold on, and even when James had wanted to hold on as well, neither of us knew much about dark and negative energies, when James acted like an ass I would get angry and send his negativity back, multiplied, then James would send it back to me multiplied again, until it reached a breaking point and we separated for a while, both of us both furious and depressed, wanting to both punch the other one in the face and cry at the same time… it usually ended up with me crying and James punching the nearest wall. Towards the beginning, it seemed James had accepted and understood that negative energies were frequently the cause of our problems… but over time he stopped accepting that as a reason and placed the blame fully on me, or sometimes on himself, but usually on me.

EG said this wouldn't have to happen with MoSh and Kaomea, because MoSh knows about negative and dark energies, and Kaomea would also seem to know about it. With both of them knowing what dark energy is and the effect it has, they would know better than to just multiply it and send it back when their partner got negative. Each of them would be able to understand that the other one was acting out of reaction to dark energy infection instead of just being an ass. So instead of having the dark energy and negativity escalate until it exploded, they would seek healing for each other, a way to get rid of the intruding dark energy, to set the other one free of it. This would rob the forces seeking to separate them of the most dangerous weapon they had. He said as long as MoSh and Kaomea couldn't be turned against each other, no force in the universe could separate them against their wills.

MoSh wanted to know who was seeking to separate him and Kaomea, and why were they seeking to do that. EG said he knows the nature of the forces, though not the exact identity, because the identity of those opposing MoSh and Kaomea would change… The nature of it was that which seeks to keep everything on a perfectly ordered path, the different timelines themselves seem to have a will of their own, and they don't like being interfered with. He said that is why it takes a significant event to alter any timeline, significant as when someone from outside the dimension interferes and makes considerable changes. That will inevitably create a ripple in the timeline. One of the inhabitants of the timeline changing their own timeline is very difficult, usually this just gets done from outside the dimension. So when an outsider such as MoSh or me enters a dimension and tries to find a companion or even just tries to find a place for themselves, that creates a ripple, which the timeline will fight. He said I already knew that, and for a while James had known, too, but then James had somehow forgotten that as he got consumed with negative energies.

MoSh seemed to be lost in thought about something, I wondered what he was thinking, EG waited for a few minutes while MoSh seemed to be muttering to himself incoherently. EG finally said that MoSh and I are more alike than we know, that saying we are like brother and sister isn't by any means incorrect. He said we had both gone through hard times that had left us fractured, but not broken, he said neither of us would be broken by any force in this world no matter how unsure of that we ourselves might be, he looked at me when he said that. EG looked back at MoSh and said MoSh and Kaomea have a very good chance of making things work, a very good chance of avoiding the fatal errors that James and I had made, although most of the errors were James' mistakes, and to keep the negativity from pulling them apart. He looked directly at MoSh, and told him that as long as both he and Kaomea are willing to hold on, they cannot be pulled apart… as long as BOTH of them hold on. This is where my memories end.

Dream Battle (Dream-WILD)
I remember vaguely starting the dream out being in class again with Alice, and she had to leave early to get back to London. I assumed she meant London, England in the dream; but it wasn't until just now, recording this, that she probably meant London, Ontario (she lives there IRL).

The dream skipped and I'm running away from a dude. I went inside a house and locked the door. I knew he'd get in, but at least this would buy me some time to find a place to hide. I hoped it'd would be good enough. I chose a closet which had some tall boxes in them, and scrunched down behind them. I rang 911. Just the same as my last dream where I phoned 911, no one answered. In fact, I got a voice mail saying to leave my name and distress issue, and they'll get back to me I hung up. This service sucks. I'm probably going to die because they can't get their heads out of their asses. I shut my phone off and hid it so the light wouldn't betray my hiding spot, but I got found anyways.

Accepting my fate, the guy wrenched me out of my hiding spot, and I "woke up."

False awakening. Nose pinch, could breathe. I believed it this time, but pinched again to be sure. Breathed. Kick ass! I remembered I wanted to dream-WILD in my next FA, so I set to it, but I forgot to have a scene in mind, so I got dragged back into the previous dream. "Wait! I didn't want back in this one! Oh well, at least I'm lucid now," I thought.

Buddy was back there too and resumed his attack on me. I shielded and jumped out the window, flying. He was instantly like "WTF?!"

"Yeah, I can fly!" I shouted at him. "I can do more than that, too!" and I started attempting to throw fireballs down on his location. They ended up just being psi-balls, but hey... they were causing explosions, so I continued my assault.

Suddenly, dude was flying too though, and copying my attacks. "What the hell?!"

"Every attack you use on me, I will absorb it!" he laughed.

Oh... he's one of those types. Fine. I straightened myself out and willed myself upwards, into the sky. I heard Danny's voice ask me, "Isn't that a beautiful colour of blue?" I agreed with him, it was. But it was darkening, and I didn't want to go into space today. I was suddenly back on the ground, and I was extremely disoriented.

The guy followed me, and I tried to push off into the air again, but I couldn't. I wondered if the flight took my abilities away? It's probably this disorientation. So, I started running. And he followed. "Hey, it's no fair attacking me when I've lost all my abilities!" I shouted. The running made me feel better, though. I could fly again, but I don't remember if we fought more. I remember being face to face with him and trying to make him explode, but no such luck.

He had me cornered in an alley. Sensing that I was out of attacks, I decided to try one last thing. "Aishiteru," I said, quietly.

"What?" he asked, completely off guard.

"Aishiteru... I love you," I said. I opened my arms to hug him. This was actually meant to be a trick, I was going to try to lull him into a false sense of security so a DC-ally could get him... I already could see my ally waiting for my signal.

"I love you too," he said. Wait, what?! That's not supposed to happen... Well... I can't kill him now, that'd be wrong.

The next bit is private, but all I will say is there were DC's grouping around.... I force-fielded the end of the alley so no one could get in. However, for some reason, a Scottish bag-pipe marching band went right through it... ??? And the DC turned into Jack. Not a bad way to end a dream, I suppose. I woke 3 minutes before the 90-minute cycle alarm sounded.

Sinking ship (DILD)
I'm on a ship. It's like the Titanic, but not quite. It's old like it, really. I'm a crew member, I seem to be like the Captain's right-hand woman. I have a precognitive thought that the ship is going to sink soon. Sure enough, the walls buckle, and I see the outline of pipes bulging through the wall. They burst, and the room starts filling with water. I have another precognitive warning that we are about to be plunged underwater.

"We're about to go under!!" I yell to the bridge. "On the count of 4, hold your breath for as long as you can!" I count to 4 and hold my breathe. I feel the water around me. My chest hurts and my eyes are closed. I don't think I can stay like this. I tentatively drew in a breath. I can breathe? Why can I breathe? I opened my eyes, and saw that I was floating in mid-air, under the water. The water was funneling around me, like an upside-down whirlpool. The sinking ship created that same affect you get when you place a cup in water, upside down. There remains some trapped air that the water can't displace. Watching this scene, I recall recognizing it as a dream, but I also recall the strong urge to see this dream through to the end.

The ship got "tossed" back out of the water. It's still sinking, but more slowly. On the bridge, a male crew member gave birth to a baby. We didn't even have time to cut the cord, we had to get them both to safety. I gave him two towels to bundle his son up in, and we stuck him in a wheelchair and he got himself to the upper deck.

The Captain and I discussed how to deploy the lifeboats. I didn't want a tragic repeat of what happened with the Titanic lifeboats, so I gave the command to overfill them. I remember once again thinking about wanting to see this dream through to the end. What will the Captain and I do? Go down with the ship? Dream ended, with that thought, unfortunately

False awakening (not connected to the previous dream). Jack told me he always dreams in a certain theme (as in, he chooses a theme to dream about). I tell him I can do it too, as I fall back to sleep.

Odd lucid (DILD)
I remember vaguely something about my mum being involved in the first bit of the dream, but how she was involved eludes me.

I remember being in a video game like world (sort of resembled World Of Warcraft). I remember recognizing this video game world for what it is, dreaming about being in a video game like world. I decided, since I was in a video game, that I wanted to see if there was a scottish-based zone. I pushed off the ground and began flying around the world, trying to find something that resembled Scotland. I "woke up."

False awakening. Lucidity level dropped. I recalled the dream, and laughed to myself that I had said that I was lucid, but I wasn't really lucid. I giggled to myself that if I say the words lucid in a dream, I really should do a reality check next time... and almost didn't do one now. But then I thought, well, I'm thinking about lucidity, I should do one, whether I think I'm awake. I pinched my nose, and could breathe. I fell for it, and thought I wasn't pinching very well, so I tried twice more. On the 3rd time, it was blocked enough to be acceptable proof that I'm awake

However, regardless of what my dream brain decided was acceptable proof, I still believe I maintained some semblance of dreaming because the next thing I did was push off the ground to float to my next destination. Although, the dream had become a bit unstable. Visually, everything got a bit muddy, and it was harder to float. I focused on making myself feel weightless, but then the sensation took over a little bit too much, and I got that "air pocket" feeling again. I decided to relax and just let the flight do what it wanted. I'm just along for the ride. Woke up for real.

Mech Samurai

I dont know how I became lucid. I remember wearing a mech suit of some kind. It was really cool, it had boosters on the feet like Iron man but was a little more chunky around the shoulders and stuff, felt like a futuristic version of samurai armor. I had a cool helmet with a hud kinda like halo. I could activate my shields. I started walking down the road with two long katanas in my hands. I could see in the distance another person in a suit just standing, waiting for me. When I got within 100 meters I took to the sky. I found my armor started to fall off, I shook off the flimsy shoulder pads still hanging onto my body. The other suit was below me, I came down on him and we had a small battle ion the air before returning to the ground and continuing the fight. He was good and landed a killing blow to my chest. I was lucid though so I knew it couldnt hurt me. I came back with a flurry of strikes, smashing his katana through the air. I continued my assault across his chest. He had no wounds although he had scars from previous battles. I came right up to him and he was a young boy maby 13 with fiery red hair. He looked very sad and angry. I told him it was ok and that he was an excellent fighter. His emotions did not change and he turned and ran away. I wanted to teach him and continue to battle.

Awake Dream Lucid
I don't remember most of my dreams since i was to lazy to write them down today.

Dream 1- i am at a supermarket of some sort with some people that look like from the Avatar: the last airbender cartoon. I dont remember any details but i was a fat dude who couldn't control any of the elements until i found a pair of slippers that can give me powers to control water. Then i am jumping over piles of cans and boxes to hide from a old sinister guy. Later i try to show off some of my powers but all i got to do is splash some water with my hands in a flooded area in the supermarket.

Dream 2- I get a false awakening but i feel heavy and sleepy i am not aware of where i am but it seems like there is a window right on top of my bed. I feel the sunlight hit my face but I still don't realize i am dreaming. I do a reality check but it just confuses me. then my dream transitions, and i am at a audition for a Jerry springer type of show. I see my face in a reflection of a Indian man who had a five o'clock shadow and was holding a surf board. I also had a black suit with dark gray stripes, a blue button down shirt and a black tie. I realize this is myself and become lucid. i go inside a stairway and one guy takes my surfboard and says I'll take your ride. I follow some people with their kids and go up the stairs to find myself in a room with a bunch of people in a circle which looks like a AA meeting. I see everyone holding a form i got worried that i didn't have one and found one in my pocket. I remembered that words may change every time you look away. At first my name was David, then it changed to a bunch of different names. I stare at the paper for a while then i see the letters turned in to people and that the environment changed we are now outside surrounded by chain linked fences. A couple of kids came back dirty from playing outside and their parents got worried about them. That's all i remember

This was the first time I tried out "The Inception Technique" found here: http://www.dreamviews.com/f12/incept...d-true-104652/

I am in the pool of my high school. I am wearing my speedo with a duster over it. I am balancing on some kind of floating mat. I see the rest of the team in the water already and I remember I'm late for practice so I head back into the locker room to get my goggles. The locker room is very crowded. I walk around opening the lockers because I forgot which one I stored my stuff in. When I find it, there is a cap gun inside which I fire off a few times, but after the first few shots it stops working. One of the other swimmers in the locker room asks me about it and I tell him it's broken. He takes it and tries to fire it.

At this point I realize that I would not be in the locker room of my high-school pool unless I was dreaming. Right as I realize this, I wake up because of the construction outside my window. I keep my eyes closed and try to visualize myself back in the locker room, I slip back into the dream and I am lucid.

I walk out of the locker room and then outside. I am on a grassy field with a dirt road running along the outside. In the middle of the field there is some kind of chain restaurant place. (It's a restaurant chain that only exists in the dream, apparently) Behind the restaurant is an apartment building. I try to fly up to the roof of the apartment building so I can see over the city. My plan is to fold it over itself like the scene from Inception. I get myself to float above the ground and then fly up to the roof of the restaurant. I wake up again, and this time the construction is too noisy and I can't fall back to sleep.

Lucidity: 2/10
Vividness: 4/10
Length: ~10 Min.

I was bouncing around on a basketball court since I was one of those flame things from the T-shirts and then I went into this shack and shape shifted into two different people. I tried to change into Avatar: The Last Airbender characters. I tried a lot of them and I was able to Earthbend, Waterbend, and Airbend. Just not Firebend. The End.

First, it's been forever!! And now I come back and see that there's a whole new dream journal system LOL. Well, let's start with last night's LD.


October 11, 2010

Last night's LD was a visit to Test Area 102. Time for more harvesting of mean-looking things with gnashy teeth and other scary-looking features!

I found myself standing, again, in front of the painting that I had planted into the ground in the center of the dreamscape.
I took in a deep breath out of habit and immediately breathed out the moment I smelled the swamp-rot.
BLEH!
With a thought command, I summoned a peppermint candy, opened my e-visor and popped the candy into my mouth.
Closing my e-visor, I summoned a pulse rifle and began making my way through the dark forest of thorns.
Almost immediately, the thorns began to hiss as I passed them by, the trees creaked and groaned as they bled dark ichor, and occasionally the ground would tremor for some reason or other.
My motion detector wasn't picking up anything at all even after half an hour of walking. I wondered if the spine hounds had decided to avoid me for good this time?
It was after an hour that finally I spotted my first spine hound. It didn't even notice me before I shot it twice, killing it where it stood.
After that though, it was back to me and the hissing thorns... neutral
It was after another few minutes that I finally picked not one but five objects speeding towards me!
I quickly swung my pulse rifle around to bear on my new targets... but they were nowhere in sight whatsthat
I watched as the blips passed my position and that was when I heard the rustling... up above!
I quickly aimed up and started firing into the thorn canopy, plasma bolts burning through thick mangles of thorn branches which shrieked and hissed as they were destroyed.
I attempted to track my targets as I watched the blips continue moving away from me, firing into the canopy in the general direction of the blips.
And then they were gone... Bugger.

Silence....
And then the thorns started hissing again.

I continued my trek through the thorn forest, pushing my way through thorn bushes, breaking through low-lying thorn branches, and occasionally stopping to listen for anything other than the thorn hissing.
Eventually I came across the same trees I had stopped at before. The scratch markings were still etched into the bark.
And there it was! Looking up, I saw something in the branches, seemingly huddled in the nest I had found!
I slowly inched my way towards the tree base, my pulse rifle trained on the nest and the creature inside. It didn't seem to sense me; maybe it was asleep?
Holding my pulse rifle in my right hand, I stooped down to pick up a small rock. Carefully standing back up straight, I pulled my left hand back and threw the rock up at the nest.
It missed the nest, but it bounced off the branches before falling to the ground... and that was enough.
The creature jerked up, its odd-shaped head weaving back and forth as if searching.
It's head reminded me of a sting ray's... its back though was a segmented carapace like a scorpions... and then its legs unfolded, hairy and segmented like a spider's. It lifted itself out of the nest and turned on point to face me, revealing serrated teeth lining its mouth from one end to the other and a secondary mouth just barely peeking out of its primary jaws.
Its form fully in view now, it was about the length of a snow mobile and its body as wide as a skateboard was long. Its long legs made it look even bigger though!
And then it started making a bunch of clicks and croaks at me, it probably wasn't happy that I was so close to its home.
Unfortunately, I couldn't just walk away. I was looking for it and now I had found it. And so I shot it.
A three-shot burst and the thing virtually exploded down the middle, almost falling in two, save for its lower abdomen and spindly tail.
I watched as the creature's corpse fall from the tree and hit the ground in a crumpled heap. Then I noticed a strange thing.
As the thing's blood pattered the ground, the ground almost seemed to... move. Like lips pressed against a stretchy film of rubber, trying to gasp for air or utter something. It was like the stained soil was trying to drink the blood.
"Interesting," I muttered to myself as I thought this, raising an eyebrow in amusement.
Then I heard a series of rapid-fire clicks and long drawn-out croaks. I looked up at the other trees and saw more of those... sting ray spider teeth things... tree sharks, I guess I'll call them.
And they were all turned towards me.
With a thought command, my pulse cannons unfolded themselves from my shoulders.
"A jolly time for a brawl, aye?" I called to the tree sharks. As my pulse cannons locked onto their targets, I fired off a storm of plasma bolts into the trees all around.
In the initial fusilade, four tree sharks blew into smoldering clouds of chitin, flesh, and misted blood--then they all started attacking me at the same time. Tree sharks were either leaping from the tree tops or scuttling down the tree trunks, leaving more scratches in the bleeding bark. I barely was able to register any of that while I was at this point firing at a mass of tree sharks that was slowly enveloping my whole front, leaving me to run into the woods if I needed. But they were slowly closing around my flank as well as I continued firing along their line.
Ten, twenty-one, twenty-eight, more kept coming and I had to keep blasting them as I started edging towards the denser part of the thorn woods. As I got closer to the shadow of the thorn woods, the more the hissing returned from the thorn branches. The trees began to groan again.
My kill cams were going in every which direction as my pulse cannons were auto-tracking tree sharks that was scurrying across the ground, jumping from tree to tree, weaving back and forth from thorn bush to thorn bush, it seemed like they were everywhere, and with the added claustrophobia of the dense thorn wood forest I started thinking about that one scene from Cloverfield when the main characters were in the subway getting chased by those doberman-sized creatures that looked like a mix between a spider and a toothed snapping turtle with bad dental hygiene.
Anyways, I had made it about twenty meters back into the main part of the thorn wood forest when the things started really getting sneaky about their chasing me.
As the tree sharks on the left would weave through the cover of shadows and thorns, distracting me, I noticed the right side would try to rush straight at me before suddenly turning to scale up trees and such to chase me down from above. Then the ones on the left would actually start to rush me for real.
I ended up summoning and chucking a few fragmentation grenades towards the group to my right, but I didn't really hear the pained shrieks of more than two tree sharks getting maimed and blown apart by the FIVE grenades I threw. The others must've made it up the trees a lot faster than I thought--which was a nice skill considering I could be using these creatures one day.
I returned my attention to the left-side wave, my pulse cannons' plasma fire sweeping across the low thorn bushes, blasting up dirt, and setting bushes and trees on fire. Another tree shark went up in a fountain of body parts and gore, its head was there a moment before instantly vanishing in a flash of blue-white plasma fire, and then its body followed suit, exploding in charred bits.
I quickly reloaded my pulse rifle, ejecting a steaming hot spent cell and slamming a new one in, pressing the charge button. The pulse rifle hummed and whined as it charged up, a second later I was firing bursts into the canopy above while my pulse cannons continued applying the pressure on the ground.
Then I found out where the right wave went.
It was almost raining tree sharks as they leaped from everywhere above!
I felt the weight of one slam into my back before its legs were grappling with me, hooked claws scraping across my Battle Armor, trying to get a grip on me.
Suddenly I felt the pressure of jaws clamping on my right calf, the armor protecting my leg creaking slightly under the pressure.
Just as I was aiming down to blast at the tree shark that had my leg, the whole weight of another slammed into the back of my head, imagine somebody throwing ten original Xbox's at your neck simultaneously, then you'll know how it felt. Minus the pain, of course, but the pressure was enough to tell me it would've outright broken my neck without my Battle Armor and if this were a real life situation. These things must have incredibly leg strength to launch themselves so quickly and so powerfully. It was like what a flea might be if it were the size of your neighbor's Saint Bernard!
In any case, I was thrown forward and I hit the ground rather hard. Hard enough that my e-visor HUD flickered out for a moment from the impact.
And then suddenly, I was being swarmed.
As I felt my pulse rifle get wrestled out of my grip, I summoned my energy sword to my right hand and began flailing left and right, kicking wildly, and occasionally--by accident, albeit it worked--head-butted a few tree sharks. It's hard to tell amongst a mass of flailing limbs and gnashing teeth and snapping secondary jaws, but I probably killed or maimed around ten tree sharks in that brief outburst of random attacks.
Anyways, I was able to pick myself up as two more tree sharks leapt onto me and attempted to gnaw at my head and right shoulder.
I managed to shake one off as its legs couldn't find purchase on my armor, but the other managed to clamp its teeth on the sides of my e-visor helmet and it just bugged the hell out of me that I could hear its frantic breathing so clearly.
As I was furiously shaking my head, my pulse cannons firing in random directions, and my energy sword swinging in reaping sweeps, I felt more jaws and claws scrape against my armor over my legs and arms. These things weren't stopping!
"BLOODY BUGGER OFF!" I yelled as I swung my left fist randomly and connected with something. I couldn't tell what because my e-visor was being enveloped by the mouth of a second tree shark.
I grabbed the tree shark that was on my visor, hooking my fingers into the upper lip of the creature before squeezing as hard as possible, using both the strength of my Battle Armor and a dose of superstrength.
With a sickening crack and crunch followed by a sucking smack, the creature released me as its upper jaws and eyes were crushed to a pulp in my clenched fist. I then drew my fist back and immediately lashed out at another tree shark as it leapt at me.
I hacked with my energy sword, bisecting another tree shark before severing the leg of another just beside it, before it could leap.
I using the weight of the tree shark still on my back, I lifted one leg and used our combined weight to crush another tree shark underfoot while I swept my energy sword across again. Again another tree shark latched onto my right arm, which I promptly punched my fist through its teeth and down its throat. I didn't know what it was I grabbed, but I grabbed something inside that tree shark and flung it into two other tree sharks like a club before discarding the corpse. (That was when I discovered I had a grip on the thing's spine.)
Suddenly the tree shark that had its jaws around the back of my head released me, and the remaining tree sharks began to turn and run...
At this point there were easily fifty-some dead tree sharks all around me. My left gauntlet was covered in guts and blood, my energy sword sizzled with crackling energy, my left shoulder-mounted pulse cannon was having trouble turning properly to scan for targets, my pulse rifle was out there somewhere buried under the bodies, and I was ready for a vacation.
Then I found out why the tree sharks had run. And it wasn't from me.
One moment I was standing, the next I was flying into a thorn tree.
My e-visor flickered with static as I impacted the tree like a comet. I quickly pushed off the tree and turned. Just as I summoned my energy sword again, a giant claw smacked me across the face so hard that I was lifted from my feet!
I flipped almost twice before I slammed the ground like a brick dropped from a building. Before I could pick myself up I was already under attack. A solid hit slammed me in the small of my back, which would've broken my dream self's back if not for the Battle Armor--I could've sworn I was being pushed deeper into the ground by the sheer force of it.
I pushed against the ground, and forced myself into a roll to my right as the ground shook with the force of a barely missed blow. I looked up in time to see it was a Spine Behemoth... and it was even BIGGER!!
I quickly summoned a pulse pistol to my left hand as my pulse cannons began firing. The massive creature was a hell lot faster than it looked, falling to a hunch and rushing to dodge the overshooting plasma bolts, it started towards me with loping steps that covered several meters in an instant.
I only managed to fire a single shot from my pistol into the thing's left shoulder before it backhanded me straight into the thorn canopy!
Branches snapped as I flew up into the hissing thorns. Again the thorns shrieked as the branches they were attached to were snapped like twigs by the force of my being thrown skywards.
Then I began to fall, and before I could have the chance to hit the ground, the thing was onto me, its clawed hands swiping me in mid-air like a baseball. I found myself spinning and bouncing off the ground like a skimming dam-buster bomb from World War II.
I hurried to stop my roll and was rewarded with my left hand breaking in three different locations and my wrist dislocating. Then finally a tree stopped me, just barely as it cracked and started to lean to the side.
Without the hindrance of pain, I quickly picked myself up as the Behemoth was already closing distance with me, bellowing and shrieking.
Rather than dodge, I simply thought back to how I beat a bunch of Archangels...
With a thought command, I was launched towards the Spine Behemoth at blazing speeds. Shoulder-first, I slammed into the massive beast's chest and was rewarded by the solid thunking vibrations of ribs breaking under the impact. Another thought command, and my energy sword inverted in my grip and I drove it straight through and upwards the creature's sternum.
Large claws grabbed at me, which my pulse cannons quickly took care of one, and wrenching the energy sword out and slashing across took out the other. With a thought command, my energy sword reverted back to normal in my grip and with a bounding leap, I slashed rightwards and cleanly sliced through the Spine Behemoth's skull.
The Behemoth clapped its jaws open and shut spasmodically before falling over, the top half of its head sloughing off from the rest of it.
I took a deep breath to let out a sigh of relief and immediately puffed out through my nose forcefully as the awful swamp smell reached my senses. "Bugger this place..."
As my left hand was stitching itself back up, I summoned a bottle of air freshener and tried spraying it all around me, but it didn't even last for a second.
Oh well... at least it was a good hunt this time around.
I summoned myself a cup of tea to enjoy before waking up.

Well, I've been having some trouble sleeping lately (not stress or anything, I just haven't been tired, so it's weird ), so I never would have expected to lucid dream...especially through a WILD. But after not initially getting to sleep until 12:30 in the morning and then waking back up two or three times, staying awake for half an hour, and then falling back asleep, I found myself wide awake at 6am or so, unable to go back asleep at all. At least, not for a very long time. I just lay in bed and tried to not think about anything, and after an hour and a half or thereabouts, I realized I couldn't raise my right arm to scratch an itch. At first I just tried harder to lift it, but suddenly it clicked in my head: "Oh! I'm in sleep paralysis!"

I started to hear a buzz, and I felt like I could separate from my real body and get into my dream body. I was quickly able to succeed at doing so, and then as I felt real life fall away, everything around me went white.

For a short while I lost all sensation of any body, but when the buzzing grew to an extreme, raging frequency, I found myself physically present in that whiteness, ready to transition to a dream, but unable to do so. I ran all about in the whiteness, knowing I had only seconds before I'd lose the dream, but still I was stuck.

"How do I get in the dream!?" I finally shouted in desperation.

"Just...jump down." A voice calmly replied.

I acted like I was jumping off a ledge, and sure enough, I descended from the whiteness and landed right on the floor in my room.

First thing I did, of course, was pinch my nose and try to breath in, so there would be no mistake about my state. I could only breathe out of one side of my nose with it pinched, but of course that was still enough. I then began to examine my environment. The realism astounded me...if I looked out the window, I could see for miles and miles, even though none of it was scenery from real life. I noticed a fishtank (which I got rid of years ago IRL) was in my room, and I could see my reflection in it with perfect accuracy.

Since I had something to work with, and needed something to do, shape shifting came to mind. I succeeded in shape shifting, but my control over it was very bad, so I ended up just distorting my face to a degree that felt very strange. Giving up on that, I decided I'd just go outside and fly to wherever the wind might take me.

Once I was outside, takeoff was easy, but I thrust my hands out in front of me, which I don't usually do for flying, and it threw off my balance and sent me to the ground. I tried flying a bit more, but couldn't get off the ground for more than a second, now.

Then I had another idea: why not just run somewhere really fast? But...now that I thought about it, I had actually been moving really slowly the whole dream. Running at all was a challenge. Running fast...well...that woke me up.

Not the best LD ever, but it's good to know that I'm coming back.

I thought I was about to wake up, so I told MoSh and Asuka that. MoSh asked if I couldn't dilate time, I said I certainly could try that, so I focused on Allura's method of time dilation. That seemed to work, the dream became stable again, so I figured we could keep going. I focused on opening a portal to find Kaomea, then MoSh and I went through the portal.

As MoSh and I stepped out of the portal, I looked around to see we were now on a beach next to what I thought looked a bit like a lagoon, or it at least looked like the lagoon I used to see when watching old reruns of Gilligan's Island… I looked closer and spotted Kaomea on the beach, she was looking out over the water and didn't seem to have noticed us yet. MoSh said her name, and she looked over at us with a weird smile on her face. She climbed up on a rock and slipped off all of her clothes, so she was now standing up there in the nude… I wasn't sure what to make of that… She looked directly at MoSh and then jumped into the water, turning into a mermaid on her way down and entering the lagoon with a splash. She surfaced and looked over at MoSh again, then proclaimed she likes swimming naked with men who have old souls… uh… I wasn't sure what to make of that, did it confirm she needed healing? Was that her normal behavior? I had no clue…

MoSh apparently took it as in invitation, as he waded out into the lagoon, I'm not sure if his clothes disappeared, but if they did, they didn't vanish until that part was underwater. Kaomea giggled a bit, it appeared to me she was a bit amused by his modesty, which I figured was because I was there. Kaomea hadn't really acknowledged my presence at all, and if she was going to want to get hot and wild with MoSh, that was something I didn't really want to hang around and see. But MoSh had seemed so sure that she needed healing, so I figured I would stick around for a bit longer and make sure nothing bad happened.

As MoSh and Kaomea moved farther out into the lagoon, I saw there was a whirlpool out there that hadn’t been there just a moment before. There were figures coming out of the whirlpool, too, which didn't seem too likely, and the things coming out of it were butt ugly. There were zombies coming out of the whirlpool, zombies that distinctly reminded me of the evil pirates in the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, the ones that turned into zombies when the light of the moon shined on them. Of course right now it was daylight, and these zombies looked every bit as disgusting as the ones on Pirates of the Caribbean movie, and the strangest thing was a couple of them were whispering something to Kaomea. She was listening intently to them, then she turned towards MoSh and smirked. She said if he was her soul mate, she was going to kill herself right now so she could spend eternity with the zombie pirate to her right. My stomach churned and I thought I might vomit when she kissed the thing, kissing a zombie? That was truly disgusting, and when she pulled away I could see the slime of decaying flesh sticking to her face, though she seemed completely unaware of it.

First MoSh looked stunned, then he looked mad, leading me to wonder if he had somehow forgotten the reason we'd had for tracking Kaomea down in the first place, to heal her from dark energy infection. Apparently she was still infected, and those zombies weren't making things any better. And she was getting nasty, too, she was telling MoSh that there was no way that any woman would put up with the likes of him, that he would grow old and die a complete no one and when he did die, no one would give a shit, that all that would be left is for him to sink into the realm of the forgotten souls and rot there for eternity, she was laughing in a nasty manner…

While she was coming up with nasty things to say to MoSh, I had turned into a mermaid and swam out towards her, she still wasn't paying any attention at all to me, I figured that was fine… she didn't need to be paying attention for me to do a healing spell. She was saying more nasty things to MoSh that I didn't catch, and then I was focusing on Touch My Heart. Before the spell could really get started, however, MoSh was charging at Kaomea, getting mad at her for deceiving him, for playing games with him when she knew perfectly well he was seriously looking for Asuka's twinner in his waking life. I did a brief double take, but then I swam away from Kaomea and grabbed MoSh, I saw all the zombies standing around Kaomea laughing at us, she was laughing right along with them, I told MoSh to quit it, we had known before coming here that Kaomea was infected with dark energy, this was just a symptom of that. He didn't seem to quite get that, so I told him that I would take care of healing Kaomea if he could just keep the zombies off of us while I was doing it. He finally agreed to that.

So while MoSh was attacking the zombies, I went over to Kaomea and focused again on the song Touch My Heart, using it to pull dark energy out of her and replace it with light energy… if she was Asuka's twinner, then she should be using light energy… This time the song played through without interruption. I saw MoSh off to the side a couple of times doing an interesting version of underwater martial arts… and kicking serious zombie ass with it. One of the zombies got almost close enough to interfere with my spell, but MoSh interfered with him and kicked him so hard in the face that his head flew off. I was thinking MoSh had been acting a bit negative himself, so I finished Touch My Heart, directing some of the healing energy at MoSh, as well. After this was done I woke.

Note: I don't have any solid memories of when I was going to share a dream with both of them to try to remember music, but I am remembering some music that I don't think I've actually heard IWL.
