lucid

Note: I remembered a bit more of this when I first woke up this morning, but I wasn't able to take notes right away, so I have lost a lot of the details. What I am left with is these fragments, which sucks, but I should know better than to let the notes go…

Gotta Get 'Em Separated
I was with MoSh and some other people on the top of a hill at night, I looked around and saw there was a gentle slope downward all around us, and I could see houses a bit farther off. I looked closer and I could see that I was there with MoSh, Nomad, and Asuka, though Asuka looked a bit odd. I thought for a bit and I remembered the goal for this night, it was to get Asuka separated from some nagual woman who had merged with her… I couldn't remember why this woman had merged with Asuka, but I did know Asuka hadn't agreed to it, so the idea was to get them apart so Asuka would be free of this. I was all ready to do my song spell, it uses the song Come Out and Play by the Offspring, which works perfectly for the line, "Gotta Keep 'Em Separated," but it turned out I didn't even need to do that. MoSh told the nagual woman to release Asuka immediately or we would force her out, and after a brief hesitation, she de-merged from Asuka with no resistance. I guessed I wouldn't need the spell after all. After she was separated, another man appeared, though I didn't recognize him. He shot dirty looks around at everyone, then created a wind storm which I wanted to fly on, it just seemed like the thing to do. I was floating on the wind, but the man and the nagual woman both disappeared, along with the wind, causing me to face plant on the ground… ow…

Angry Again
When I fell asleep this night I wasn't really in any better shape than a couple nights ago when I had been so upset, and I was, once again quite unstable. Somehow that had not interfered with the previous dream, for which I was glad, but I still had to get rid of it. So this dream turned out to be much the same as the dream from the night of the 13th, which I titled "Beware the Rage," in which I decimated an entire Templar base. The main difference for this dream was that I managed to enter the base more stealthily, and was able to make my way through the base much farther before getting caught. I managed to get into some highly classified areas by consuming and taking the place of select Templars, which I found to be quite interesting, I liked the fact I was somewhere they definitely didn't want me to be and they didn't have a clue about it. So I set off another Immortal Fire after they became aware of my presence. There were two key differences after the blast cleared, one was when I checked my energy I was not surprised to see a trace of Walms' energy still hanging around, and the other was that there was no one watching me this time. Maybe it was just a coincidence that someone had noticed the explosion and had come to check it out…

Cats, Cats, Cats
I was driving on a road I recognized, I was on my way home from school, but it wasn't the route I take IWL. It felt like the normal route in the dream, though. I saw a car pull over to the side of the road briefly, just long enough to toss a bag out and then they drove off. I was going to ignore that, but the bag was wiggling… which caught my attention. I pulled over and carefully approached the bag, I had no idea what might be in it, but then I heard it meow… I quickly went over to the bag, and I opened it, it was a plastic trash bag and I was worried that the cat in there would suffocate. I was wishing I had gotten the license plate number of the assholes who had tossed this poor kitty… I got the bag open, and a kitty came out… but not just one, there were so many kitties… more kitties than should have fit in the bag, and the cats just kept coming. My first thought was I couldn't leave any of the cats out there, but how would I fit them all in my car to take them home?!

Do I Look Like a Mom to You?
In this piece I was back in the area of my inner world with the girl I had brought back, I was thinking I really need a name for her rather than calling her 'the girl' all the time, so I finally found out her name… Her name is Dela. I was still in no shape to show her how to control dark energy, for some reason I keep ending up being in no condition to do that. She said I wasn't being a very good mother, I told her I am definitely not mother material. She said sure I am, all I have to do is try for a bit. But whether I like it or not, I was now her mother… how had I gotten myself into this mess? She still seemed to be intent on manipulating me, even though I had told her it wouldn't work, even though everything she had tried so far had all been epic fails, but we ended up doing a couple things that were fun, we went to a theme park and had quite a bit of fun there. Even though she has a bunch of unstable dark energy in her, it seems she is still a child in that she likes to have fun.

Note: The rest of this night was extremely fragmented, I'm afraid this was the best I could get from it.

Golden Healing
I was in the healing area of the biodome, or it could have been the healing glen, but if it was the healing glen I didn't see the Crystal Golem anywhere around. I was feeling a bit drained after my recent expenditure of dark energy, so I was a bit disoriented, but I was mostly lucid. I recognized the people there with me, I saw Basara closest to me, I also saw MoSh was there, but I couldn't think why they would be there… I had won against the Templars with no difficulty, had something happened that I needed healing? Well, even though I couldn't think clearly enough to remember why I needed healing, we all did healing spells… I was lucid enough to focus on my own healing spell… and the area filled up with a very relaxing golden energy, which caused me to fall asleep in the dream.

I Have a Kid Now?
In this one I was in the area of my inner world where the little girl I brought back has been staying, it is the little girl that everyone had accused of being a demon, but in fact she just was a hybrid energy user, meaning she has access to both dark and light energies, but she doesn't know how to control the dark energy… to keep it stable. That was resulting in anyone who threatened the girl or upset her in any way meeting with some rather gruesome ends, but the main reason for that was the girl didn't know control. So I was in the area with her, she was in a nice house and met me at the door. The first thing she did was to start complaining about how it is not right for me to have left her alone for so long, and these mindless drones don't count as companionship… apparently she had easily identified the DC's for what they are. So she was trying to use various things to manipulate me, to get me to do what she wanted me to do, but that wasn't going to work since I already know what is going on with her. What I needed to do was try to show her some stable dark energy, but I was feeling too drained of dark energy to do that right now, so instead I spent the time trying to get to know more about her and she spent the time trying to find ways to manipulate me, both of us met up with epic fail.

Flying Lessons
I was in my house with my mother, and we went out onto the back porch to enjoy the weather, which was very pleasant this time of year in the desert. There was a wind blowing, and it seemed to be getting stronger, but that didn't bother me at all. Somehow I was spontaneously lucid in this one, so I already knew I could fly, though the idea seemed to upset my mother quite a bit. I told her it was a dream, she could fly too if she would just try, but she seemed hesitant to try it. I finally took her hand and pulled her up into the air as if she was weightless, which she is definitely not, but now we were both flying over the desert, over cactus, over homes… it was a really good view from up there. My mother seemed to want to go in a specific direction, but it turned out she was just trying to get to the local gym, apparently she wanted me to get exercise. I told her there was no need for that in a dream, but we went inside the gym anyway. There were many exercise stations, but the machines were missing from most of them, so there wasn't really much exercise to be done there. That didn't bother me at all, I just wanted to fly some more.

It's another zombie apocalypse. I begin the dream in a large, fortified bus with a bunch of people from my family. We drive down a bunch of roads until we finally reach a coastline. We roll down the beach until we reach a sort of military encampment which is apparently one of the few human settlements remaining. There are many white tents, and as we drive into the camp, people are impressed that we've survived on our own for this long.

We don't stay for more than a few moments though, I think because we realize that whoever is running this camp has some kind of sinister motives. In particular, we notice a sort of symbol on the side of buildings and vehicles that looks like "^^^^", and it makes us very suspicious. We end up in a sort of city, and we stop at what used to be a restaurant, looking for food to scavenge. My recall is a bit blurry at this point. I think we find some guns inside the restaurant, and then someone appears at the door. At first we think it's a zombie, and immediately take aim with our rifles. It turns it's a human though, and we all end up sitting at a table and talking.

Big jump here, I somehow end up in a kind of massive factory, and I am being taken to an audience with the factory's owners (I think the guy from the restaurant told me to go here). After taking an elevator, I enter a large, Japanese-style room, and stand in the middle of the large carpet that spans the room. After a few moments, I am surrounded with a bunch of vaguely human-like cats, who are apparently incredibly wise and think I'm some sort of chosen one. I try to talk with them and explain that I'm nothing special, but they speak a language I don't understand.

For a while I'm really confused, as the cats are all saying many things and I have no idea what is really going on. Eventually, I try to just relax, and I think I slowly start to understand what they are saying, despite not knowing their language. They begin some sort of chanting, and I start floating in the air. I just try to roll with it and wait. Unfortunately, I don't remember much of what happened after that.

It's night-time, in some sort of suburban neighborhood. Apparently, I'm "in" a sort of horror movie, and I sort of know it, so while everything feels real, I also have some notion that it isn't, if that makes any sense. Anyways, I'm outside with a group of 4 people, one of whom is Mel Gibson. Armed with a few guns, we're on the hunt for some kind of mysterious animal who has been wreaking havoc (maybe killing people?) in the neighborhood.

After walking around for a while, we spot a dark figure, which we assume is the animal. I think it runs away before we can kill it, and I think to myself that it doesn't look that dangerous. We decide to split up. I end up exploring some sort of log cabin with another person, and it's suddenly morning. The guy with me uses his walkie talkie to contact the others, but eerily, there's no response at all. Everything is suddenly very quiet and tense. There is a knock at the door right in front of us. I feel like something horrific is about to happen, so I get behind the door and try to block my vision, as if trying to ignore the movie I'm in. The guy opens the door, and there is nothing there but books on the floor. If I recall correctly, the books belonged to a little girl who had been killed by the animal, and for some reason it was quite scary that they were suddenly here (who brought them there?).

I'm walking around on campus, and I see a girl I haven't seen in years. I follow her, and see her go into a sort of deli I have never been to before. After a few moments I decide to go inside, but go in through the wrong door and end up in a kind of bathroom. There's a bucket with some food in there, so for a moment I wonder if this is the actual deli, but eventually conclude that it isn't. I go in through another door and find myself in a kitchen area, where an employee tells me this isn't the right place to get food. I go back outside and in through another door, which is the right one this time. I ended up admiring some of the delicious things for sale.


A fragment from last night: I was in an elevator with some guy, and suddenly it started shaking fairly violently. It barely reached the floor we were going to, and when it did, the doors opened but the elevator started moving again. We scrambled to get out of the elevator, and did, just in time, before it dropped free-fall to the bottom of the shaft.


Finally, a kind of funny and technically lucid dream from the other day. I woke up in the morning, having overslept already, but fell asleep again. When I did though, I ended up in a dream of getting out of bed, only to see my roommate hiding in a corner getting ready to jump out to scare me or something. I knew my roommate wasn't here IRL though, so I yelled out "NO!!', mad at myself for falling asleep again. I woke myself up and get out of bed, for real this time.

★★★☆☆

Work's still trying to kill me, but I think it's time to start posting in my DJ again. I've been writing in my paper DJ every day, but it's just not the same.

So here's the only lucid I've had in the last couple weeks.

10/06/10



I'm looking down at the ledge of a window, standing on top of a platform. I stick my head through the window and look down at the ground. I want to keep moving, running, going somewhere, I don't know. I should really stop and stabilize. The scene is staticky, overlaid with a red filter.

I breathe, take a moment to watch the world around me. The moment ends, and I jump -

We're running. Non-human figures, all of us, made of light, each an almost pure, bright colour. One is bright red, an orange glow streaking out from the center, like fire. Another is white with gold rays, woven through with colourless threads. Another gives me the impression of a stormy sky and the smell of ozone. I have no sense of myself, but I don't have a body. I just am, and I'm interacting with the others - we take the shape of wolves and run across the sky of the prairie below.

Mzzkc and I communicate.

We're dream-sharing, says one of us. Do you want to try a password, see if both of us remember it?

Q and K, says the other. That's the password.

Hard to remember, says the first. How about 'quark'?

I try to wake myself up so I'll remember it, but I go spinning into a dream I won't remember.

Scare Factor: 2/10

Note: When I fell asleep tonight, I was feeling like shit… that tends to happen when I keep having it shoved into my face that people I thought were friends really place absolutely no value on me at all… so I was pissed off and depressed at the same time, which was making my dark energy go quite unstable, and I had to get rid of that issue… so my WILD was used on getting rid of that unstable dark energy on the most readily available target, the Templars.

I was in a long hallway, and I was lucid, and I also had a good idea of where I was. I was right where I had intended to be, which was in one of the many hidden templar bases on the astral and dream planes. I wasn't feeling any better now than I had been when I had fallen asleep, my energy was no more stable than then… and yet I didn't really feel like I was in danger of losing control. I knew where I was, I knew who I wanted to direct my unstable energy at, and I had no urge to direct it anywhere else or at anyone else. I wasn't even feeling like I would rather be directing it at the people who had caused me to go unstable in the first place. While it seemed to me that the instability of my dark energy was a bad sign, it also seemed to me that the fact I felt in control of how I released it was a good thing, a sign of progress…

So now I walked down the hallway, I was still feeling angry and unstable and a bunch of other things, but it wouldn't be long before I found a target… and there was a target on their way to meet me now! I saw a Templar walking down the hallway towards me, he didn't look like one of the soldiers, he was dressed in white clothing with the red Templar symbol on it. He looked up and saw me there in the hall, and he looked quite surprised to see me. He walked quickly up to me and asked me who I was, he demanded to know what I was doing there. I decided I would act even crazier than I felt, I thought his reaction might be amusing, so I grabbed the surprised Templar by the collar and demanded to know why he was wanting to write me off like some piece of shit… he looked at me with a very confused look, said he had absolutely no idea what I was talking about, so I got mad at him for pretending he didn't even know who I was. I said he knew exactly who I am, and he had better show some respect, because I am worth over twenty of him, the worthless sack of pathetic shit that he is… He told me he didn't care who I was, and I had better get out of the restricted area before I found myself confined to a nightmare where a vulture was perpetually pecking… I said I didn't need a nightmare, looking at his face was a nightmare, of course that must make it a horrible nightmare to have to look at that face every time he passes a mirror. He was mad now, and upset, and a few other things that made him look very comical, he went to the wall and pulled a lever that activated an alarm. I had seen him going for it, and allowed it, because I wanted a bunch of Templars to kill.

I didn't have long to wait, I could hear the approaching Templars, I decided to go with my Alex Mercer archetype, sometimes that can be very amusing, so before they could arrive I grabbed the Templar who had pulled the alarm and consumed him, taking his energy and his form. Shortly after a group of Templars came from both directions, surrounding me in the hall, but of course they didn't recognize that I wasn't one of them. They all began looking around in a confused manner, asking me where the intruder had gone, what was with the alarm, and a bunch of other questions they weren't giving me a chance to answer. I decided to continue picking off Templars for as long as I could get away with it, by getting behind them and using the stealth consume that I have seen Alex Mercer doing on the game. I managed to consume five Templars before I got sloppy and let one of them see me. Oh, well, I was getting tired of the covert thing anyway, so now I formed my right arm into Alex Mercer's arm sword, and started cutting through Templars with it. My Witchblade armor blocked their attacks from getting through. Of course everything that was going on got the attention of still more Templars, who were coming and attacking from both directions in the hall.

As I was slicing through Templars, I was making my way slowly through the base until I found myself in a large intersection that looked like one of the central parts of the base, or at least that's how it felt. I thought this was a good place to make the final release of all the unstable energy I had left inside me. I decided to ditch the Alex Mercer archetype, so I focused every bit of unstable dark energy I had right now into one spell, and released an Immortal Fire of epic proportions, and there was a blast of dark flames extending outward from me in all directions, a huge explosion. After the blast was finally over, and the dust finally settled, there was no sign of the base any longer, in fact I was standing in a large crater where the Templar base had been just a short time ago… And I felt drained, like so much of my energy had just up and left me, but at the same time I felt a lot more stable. I did a scan on myself, examining the dark energy inside me to see what was there, it was all stable, and it was all of my own frequency… excellent… except for a tiny part… wtf? I examined the part that was not my own frequency… had someone infected me with something? Is that why I had gone unstable? I examined it closer, I was focused on that, and I finally recognized the frequency… it was Walms' What was that doing there?! Well, it didn't seem to be harming anything… I saw movement out of the corner of my eye, I looked over there to see who was watching, but in that instant whoever it was disappeared. I didn't get a chance to see. Who the fuck was that?! I was trying to figure that out when I woke…

Created a base with my gloves, they have the power to edit the environment.

put up a single snowball turret

Defended base from some kind of pig-things that walked on two legs, Dream characters. I opened the radial menu of my gloves, and select delete after I realize it will take forever to kill them normally, and they just disappeared.

Created several rooms inside the base, the one that I remember best is the game room.

woke up, still tired, fell asleep

fragmented memory of exploring a black and white chess floor hallway thing, I made a mental note of some sort of cave thing that went downward, and passed it. Found some stairs and some old guys voice is taunting me or something as I go up them. I either woke up, or the recall is gone.

Then later, possible dream re-entry point

I am in my base, My gloves, when I hold them up to the screen, show a yellow image of my hand, I held them both up, and it triggered a surreal experience, I was sucked into the monitor, everything turned black and white. I was told, Do not go to the ceiling, or you will be lost to the chaos. I looked up and there was just static for ceiling. I noticed that If I raise up my hands, I float upward. I turn a corner, and the wall in front of me is a giant mouth, It is telling me something, I can't remember now, something about the plane I have accessed, I think it might be a portal, so I try walking into it while it's still talking, everything distorts, the mouth is as solid as a wall, so I turn around, and start walking away. I accidentally raise my hands up for some reason, and float to the top. everything goes black and chaos-like, and I hear something along the lines of "I told you" or "You have been assimilated. then I woke up.

after I woke up, thought about my base, and thought about how awesome it would be to bring my friend to it, I fell back asleep, I think I Wild'ed, because I was lucid after this.

My base is in the middle of a giant complex, possibly a Labyrinth. I am in the game room of my base. I look around, one wall has 8 plasma screen televisions in a 2x4 grid, with a larger one on top of the grid in case looking at the television grid is too much for someone. I contact my friend, He said something about me having to go get him. I figured it wouldn't be such a big deal. (I did this next part automatically, so I'm just trying to make sense of the experience) I lifted my consciousness above the maze and looked for him, I noticed the underground caves that I saw in the previous dream and made a mental note of them. I saw my friend, and dropped my dream body in the same area as him. I asked if he wanted to see my base, and if he knew he was dreaming. he did, and he was, so I used the same process to set us both down in the game room. He said, "I've got to say, This is a really nice base!" he flopped on the couch and started playing the PS3. He said something about me not having a Wii, I replied that I have one in Waking life, so why would I need one in dreams? I asked him if he wanted to explore the caverns that I had spotted earlier, "Ehh..." he replied as he held up the ps3 controller. I figured playing was better than watching in a dream, so I picked up a controller and started playing with him.

We where playing some sort of 2D car game, pressing the left directional button would make your car inch forward, the faster you pressed it, the faster your car would inch forward. there was lots of really neat artwork in the game that made up for the lack of gameplay, I played for what seemed like 15-30 minutes before we got to a shop, I looked at the inventory, there where several items, but something told me to buy Phoenix feathers, but I woke up right as I tried to click "Buy."

Sigh... I'm not posting enough to make the lucids happen, but I still get a couple. Oddly, I got two in one night, so I figured I should reinforce that.

1. I'm just sort of walking through my house when I realize I'm dreaming. There was either no reality check or I've forgotten it. I enter my kitchen and try to do a couple of turn-summons for different things, but nothing seems to be working. In frustration I go and eat a banana; the authentic taste and feel at least affirms my lucidity. I remember flying through walls in my last lucid and try to do that, but I thud inelegantly against my front door when I try a running start. I just open the door instead and finally do get to fly. I notice two girls on my front lawn, but on closer inspection they seem to be versions of the same, Suzie N. I knew from high school. One is dressed in black, the other in white, and I figure "What the hell" as I swoop in for an aerial makeout. It lasts a few seconds before I fade out.

2. Recall is horrible, but I distinctly remember being lucid, once more in my own kitchen.

Shazam, out of the blue two goals, one a yearly, checked and in the bag!

Both having met my subconscious and held a conversation (Kinda) with it, that marks them off the goal list. I even got to try more interesting techniques.

Strangely, it all started out as a dream where I was on an island (Beaches are my go-to scenery for first dreaming when I'm MILDing, has t'do with the Drawing of the Three by Stephen King, and it's easy to visualize a plane of yellow next to a plane of blue.). Kind of video-gamish (A common theme in my dreams, I'm such a loser.), I was with my dad, looking at the craziness. I remember wondering what it would be like to open the console with an interface like this (I think I thought I was in virtual reality.).

Hilariously enough, I tried the nose breathe RC a few times just to see how it would work in this *Ahem* game. And was surprised when it failed each time, but I seriously had a derp moment as despite having done it at least 3 times, I still thought it was reality.

It wasn't until the appearance (And mosaic disappearance, like he was being censored on TV because he didn't sign a consent form.) of a recently deceased friend of mine that I think I started to get the idea that i was in a dream. Though that particular setting would change before I would get to be lucid in it.

I think I actually started to wake up at that point, and was in a semi-void for a bit. But I'm pretty sure I DEILDed back in. (This is actually a first for me, and I do it multiple times during this!). I'm no where near lucid at this point, I see my sister playing with two dogs upon a hill near a house in the snow (One I'm pretty sure is my dog, the other the dog of the aforementioned recently deceased.), the two dogs maul a guy (as they're both off their leashes.) and paramedics arrive. The dream changes focus and I'm walking past a fast food place with the doors open in wintertime.

Tactile sensations are pretty rare in my dreams at the moment, but I remember feeling the slight icy covering of snow on objects as I walked by. Eventually, I see my dad next to what looks like his car. He has me drive (the drivers seat is on the passenger side.) and the interior is very futuristic looking. I don't know my destination, so I use some kinda HUD navigation system, I dunno if it worked but I found myself at some kinda clinic. Police are standing off against some lady in a wheelchair (Possibly my sub!), I usher her inside, do a RC and approach the bar inside. The lady orders a drink, and the bartender asks me "Do you remember?", I reply with "Remember what?". Boom, I'm in the void, possibly even waking up again.

Not only did I DEILD (Possibly.), but I continued the dream from last time for the most part. Me and the lady have our drinks (I'm not drinking cause, well, I don't in real-life.). This part is hazy, but I know I end up in the void AGAIN.

I try a few things to escape the infinite blackness, spinning, sudden acceleration. But it wasn't until I felt what was in front of me that I found a way to escape. Whatever was in front of me felt like laminated cardboard, so I punched a hole, it took a bit for the dream to form, but I was looking at a cardboard wall with a hole in it. I stabilize and clarify by looking at the details of the hole, things clear up and I look through the hole. There were a bunch of people in... Cat suits? Dancing and whatnot in a circle, they all look at me so I just turn around and find myself in dimly lit hallways (Another common theme in my dreams.). I get it in my head that nearby is a door, behind which is my subconscious. I turn left and enter that door. Inside are a bunch of stuffed animals (A throw-back to my very first LD!) on chairs and hanging from the ceiling, and inside is a lady with poofy brown hair in some manner of white garb.

A little backstory here. When I was a kid, I had a few times where I dreamed of a person, about my age at the time. She was a little african-american girl I had never seen before, and I knew her name was Elvira. When I started taking an interest in lucid dreaming, I figured this may have very well been my subconscious. I only dreamed of this person about 3 times, but it popped back into my memory since starting a dream journal.

Lucid dream number... 2 or 3, I found a cat (Can't remember if I wrote about it here... I should start a reality journal.) who had a name tag of 'Elly'. Now, maybe it was just me looking for meaning in a completely random name, but I equated this as a clever-arse trick by my sub. I thought 'Elly' was short for 'Elvira'.

Anywho, back to the lady with brown hair. I asked if she was 'Elly', and she said yes. At this point I believed that this was my subconscious. She lead me into another hall, and i remember saying "It's nice to finally meet you.", we shake hands, but she's mostly looking to the left of me. I remember saying "I'd appreciate some help becoming lucid, and in particular appreciate this lucid dream.". She then lead me into a room, where this guy scared the utter bajesus outta me (Jump-scare.), my sub said something at this point, but I can't remember what. The guy gets another good scare on me before laughing and becoming all buddy buddy with me. At that point I woke up for good this time, as I noticed how dry my mouth was.

Actually, the avatar for my sub, I may have met in a previous dream I had that night. It may have been my sub all along during that too. I was in a hospital setting (Again, common theme in my dreams.) and some lady was following me around, she was acting all crazy like... I think she wanted to jump my bones or something... Anyway, I managed to peel her away from me somehow by signaling to the staff or something. But her resemblance to Elly, in retrospect, was pretty similar.

Oy, it's nice being able to write more than just a paragraph.

I remember it so well. The spring are in the dark, lit up by the gorgeous rays of the silver moon. I slowly walked through a field and came to an old oak tree. I could feel the wind blow from the night sky above as the fuzzy dandelions flew off into the silent air around me. I walked up to the oak tree and placed my hand gently on its trunk. I closed my eyes and could sense and see the flow of its energy. The tree may have been old, but it was still young in spirit. The gold rich energy flowed from a river below the ground, up through its many roots and into its thick trunk and many branches. I opened my eyes to see the hundreds of leaves swaying back and forth in the wind. Then a shooting star had caught my eye. I glanced at it and watched it sail across the starry sky. I felt warmth and joy from this one star on the move. Just then, it hit the moon. Our guardian. The moon didn't break into pieces or anything, it just stayed in the same area and turned its face into a sad frown. I realized I had been Lucid for quite sometime and with one big leap, I jumped into the air and started to fly toward the brightly lit moon. As I landed on its surface I found the small crater where the moon had been hit.
It was amazing, there was so much energy on the lifeless rock. Well, I couldn't say that anymore. As I got closer to the crater, the energy grew more and more intense. When I arrived at the spot I found a blue glowing rock that looked more magical then anything I've seen in reality. I picked it up and gradually put it in my pocket. I bent down and kissed the moon as if too heal it, like a mother would for her hurt child. The guardian of us and our mother doesn't always have to take care of us. Sometimes we could do the same thing back.
As I got up from my knees, I took another leap back to the earth. As I entered the atmosphere and started to burn on my way to the grown I peaked back at me and noticed the moon's face had returned to normal. I started to slow my speed down as I gently touched surface on the field with the oak tree. I turned around to gaze up at the moon once more then heard a small voice that said, "thank you Klane". I turned around to find HER again. A young maiden with shinning blue hair and a white gown that looked absolutely stunning. Her face was cute as all could be and her voice was so clean and quiet. She stood there about nine feet away from me and the oak tree.
I began to walk to her as she did the same. It was her. The same girl I've dreamt about for months. She always appeared then disappeared. When we arrived close to each other I reached into my pocket and pulled out a silver necklace that was in the shape of a circle with the yin yang sign carved in it. I gave it too her as I held my hand out. She closed my hand with the necklace still in my palm. Her hand was so soft and her smell was unforgettable. "This is your necklace Yatheklane. You pulled it from my wound when it had hurt me. You showed me that you cared. In return, I give you this necklace made of moonstone. It glows blue in the moonlight and has red in it in the sun, but of all it has the energy of a star", she said in a calming voice you could just die for.
"Thank you Luna", I called her for the first time. We got close, held each other in our arms and kissed for the first time. I have had many awesome and outstanding lucid dreams, but never a romantic lucid dream. I really couldn't believe it. After our long luscious kiss, she left from my arms to walk right past me to the old oak tree. she turned around and whispered, "I'll always be watching you", as a big gust of wind came and blew the rest of the dandelion seeds all around. Her body was engulfed by the dandelions flying around everywhere, and soon enough when the wind died down, she was gone. As I peered back at the moon resting my left hand on the tree I whispered back, "I'll be yours to watch over forever, as I will always watch over you too".
A few minutes later after flying off into the clouds above, my roommate wakes me up. go figure huh? that day though I went to a body, mind, and spirit store and found a white yin yang necklace made out of moonstone. It had the blue and red tint in it and everything. I wear it everyday now and put more and more of my energy into it. Now next time I see her in my dream I will always have it on.

Ok, first of all I am just starting with this new system as I have been away from DV for a while. Honestly this is probably the only entry I will make in a while but this dream was so memorable for me that I have to write it down. Wish I could use my old thread DJ

Blue=Lucid

First thing I remember: I was playing a video game in which the setting was in this large, scary, dark building with my brother. I wielded a halberd and had a spear in my inventory. Suddenly my brother says he is bored and that he doesn't want to play anymore, so he goes away. I decide to put the spear away and get a bow and arrow instead since I'm by myself and I'd stand a better chance of survival at a distance.

I am a few stories up in the building, and there is a hole in the floor below me where there is a selection of weapons inside. I pull out a bottle of Bailey's Coffee Creamer from my pocket and I pour about a tablespoon of it into the hole. I then get a vision; there is a large conference room below me with probably about a hundred people in it congregating. There is coffee creamer pouring out of the ceiling and flooding the room, washing all of the people away. I came out of the vision and I kind of laughed and went up the stairs to the next floor.

It is kind of blurry here, but the next thing I clearly remember is that I'm in a room in the same building. My old boss from when I worked in the Produce department is in there, and she hands me a silenced pistol. I turn around and shoot some guy with it, and then I turn back around and ask her, "Do you have a holster?". Then she says, "Do you need one?" and we start making out right there. We made out for a long time, I can't say exactly how long because of dreamtime but it seemed like a long time.

After that, it gets blurry again, but next thing I know I am at my church. There is a long table stretching from one side of the sanctuary to the other, and a bunch of people are sitting down eating, myself included. I am lucid as soon as the dream started. I was talking to my mom in the beginning, but like most dreams I dont remember the subject of the conversation. Then I got up and walked over to the other end of the table. P.D., B.L., my brother, and several others were there who I dont remember. I was talking to P.D. about something interesting, but I dont remember. Then she says "We should really do this more often." I said to her, "You know that movie 'Inception'?, It's a lot like what we are doing now." I was fully convinced that I was having a shared dream, Although now I'm not, I don't believe in shared dreams. Then I said "'Inception' is my third-favorite movie!" but I had a hard time getting the words "third favorite movie" out. I think I said something like "movie third favorite" or something. Then B.L. started saying " 'Inception' is so stupid, ra ra ra..." and listed all these reasons why he didn't like the movie.

I got up, walked back over to my mom and sat down. I put my arm around D.C., which aggravated my mom. Mom said "I'm tired of this, I'm going back to my own dream." And she got up and started to move away. I grabbed her and said "No, I like it when you come to my dreams!" and that convinced her to sit back down. I hugged mom and we talked for a while, then I got up.

Now I am in D.C.'s toyota sequoia, and my brother and sister are in the backseat. I am still lucid, and I'm just riding in the passenger seat and watching the cars go by. I am so amazed that I havent woken up yet because my lucids are always so short. I watch the cars go by, and every car that comes by has a rusty hood. I look at the side of the road and we pass a bunch of rednecks working on old cars in their lawn. Then I think, I wans to go find a space shuttle launch pad. I look to my right and I see this really tall mountain, but there is fog all around it so I cant see. I think this is probably where the rocket pad is.

Then I decide to fly. I dont see why people think flying is so hard. I just willed myself to go straight up in the air, and I did. Once I got up there I could see a long way, but it was a foggy morning. I flew down towards this building which looked like a watertower, but it had windows. I missed the building because my flying control was not too good. So i kept on going, and I decide that I want to look for my dream house. I'm flying through this residential area, and there is a lake below me. There are these gigantic houses dotting the landscape, they are probably 10 times as big as my real house. This was all very exciting to me, but my flight speed was getting slower, and so I had to swing my arms as if I were swimming in order to go faster. I eventually land in this town-square area and I'm standing on this cobblestone walkway. I walk towards these two houses. The one on the left catches my eye, but a man steps out of the one on the right and tells me to come tour it because it's on sale. He says "Most people think this house is for blind people, but I assure you it is not just for blind people." This house is so elegant, it has like onyx stone plating on the columns at the front.

I walked away from the house the first time I saw it. It gets blurry here, but then I'm back at the cobblestone walkway and this black guy is trying to take me to the house so that I can see the inside. I dont trust him, and I remember that in the movie "Inception" the heir to the corporation had trained his subconscious to defend him against attacks. I think to myself, "What a great idea! When I get to this house there is going to be an entorauge of men with guns who will arrest this guy because I think he's going to attack me when we get inside." Well sure enough, once we got to the house and walked in the front door, there are five guys in suits standing there. The guy in front just smiles and says Hi to me and I say Hi back. It is kind of funny how my sub-c did it because none of the guys had any guns on them, most of them had five o clock shadows, and one was an old man who had a problem tucking in his shirt. However, I decided that that would be ok and I was free to explore the house.

I kind of lost lucidity after that. My mom and grandmother showed up at the house and we toured it. It mostly consisted of these bathrooms. There were so many bathrooms, and one bathroom would connect to another bathroom. The lids on the toilets looked like Mentos candy. The bathrooms were so big in this house that they actually had stalls like public bathrooms. MY mom and gran were so impressed with the house and proud of me for buying it. The last thing I remember thinking before I woke up was , "How the heck am I going to pay for this???"

WILD followed by DEILD.....both were short...both sucked, and then I had got totally caught off by the next DEILD attempt. RC wasn't working, so I tried two dream control powers and they didn't work either.

This is basically the first time I had a bit of control in a lucid dream. I've known about lucid dreaming fr months but never practiced or tried to do it until i met WakingNomad, a user here who I know in school. I overheard him talking about it and I joined the conversation and things led to another and datz y im here.

I had my first experience last nyt. I'm used to doing reality checks. I was in a dream and did a reality check, I was dreaming. When I realized I was dreaming I was half-concsious in order to keep dreaming I remembered the technique 'dream spinning' to spin around and think of wer u want to go or about anything..wat i write here im not sure is going to be in the order of events but i'll try to make it in order as possible if i remember.

I spun and wanted to go to the moon and remembered wat WakingNomad told me about a spaceship. So as I was spinning I recited to myself that it was a dream in order to not forget. Then suddenly I was in a spaceship and it started blasting off..It felt like real. I was piloting it, amazing I knew how. I was trying to get to the moon but it was hard. I felt lyk I was in a video game I had to go through santa sleighs tht were chasing me and every time I passed an area, they would go to another area and be even more than the previous area. I didn't get to the moon. I got sidetracked. All of a sudden I meet this person and I start singing off of music from his ipod then all of a sudden the setting changes agen.. I don't know if I still remembered it was a dream. But then I saw psYfr my friend also in waking life that is doing this lucid dreaming stuff with me, we both started doing reality checks just a couple of days ago. I'm still not sure if it was him but he appeared in my dream along with his best frend, Six, that he mentioned lucid dreaming about and has now just started practicing it as well. I saw her in a dream I knew what she looked like from pictures but never in person. I don't remember seeing her face but it was her and i felt it was her. We were doing some sort of presentation Six was supposed to come out dancing first but she missed her cue. So she just went next to me and said "dont make fun of me" I said "I won't but Aaron definitely will". I missed my cue to sing too..Then Six started showing me videos of her tap dancing from her cell phone datz wen PsYfr (Aaron) cam out singing he was the only one on cue actually performing he walked around wyl singing..Pointed to me while he sung one line then my sister Aj appeared and PsYfr took her by the hand and she danced wile he sung.
All of a sudden I remembered perfectly it was a dream and I saw WakingNomad.I don't remember seeing his face but I knew it was him somehow. I asked him is that really you? He said yes. Then I said prove it. Tell me something about me in our waking life and he said "He hates it wen people go up and down" didn't make sense but it made sense while in the dream. (NOTE: WakingNomad didn't remember meeting me but he said he always said weird things in dreams to ppl so they wud b reminded that it was a dream) anyways he then said i hav something to sho u and we went on a bus (NOTE: wen i mentioned this to WakingNomad the next day he didn't remember a dream but he said he always took people on a MoonBus which I had no clue about. So this proves it was really WakingNomad I saw in that dream) the bus then stopped and WakingNomad ran down and before I could chase after him something stopped me from chasing him back.I felt lyk I left something on the bus then wen I looked down at my hand i was wavy. Another reality check I did..and i pinched my nose and took a normal breath and it worked. I was lucid and was amazed that reality checks did work in dreams. It was my first time to do this kind of stuff and I was amazed. The bus driver was a woman that's all I remember when I looked at her then I became half concsious agen and eventually woke up completely..
NOTE: in my dream while i spun for the first time i thought of the spaceship and partly about psYfr since he's been in my mind for a wyl in waking life. Maybe that's y he was partly in my dream..was it really him??i have yet to find out!

Running from the cops!

I got dropped off by my friends dad at Mc Donald's and I had some weed in my hands. It was a school day and I saw Mr Brown (School teacher, head of Behaviour Management) I gripped the weed tightly and walked into Maccas. He was following after me so I started speed walking and he started speed walking after me. I put the weed in my mouth and started running around avoiding him trying to swallow it. I then run off into a field where there are cops just scattered around everywhere, so they where after me aswell. After alot of running around I came to realise I was dreaming!

I stopped in my tracks and turned around while dropping the weed on the floor. I said "shoot me" and looked scared and hesitated, I started walking towards her and said "SHOOT ME!". She pointed the gun towards me and said no, I said "FUCKING SHOOT ME CUNT!" so she said "NO!" Then shot me, all I could see was a flash come out of the gun and nothing hit me. I walked towards her and tackled her to the ground. I stripped her naked, shoved my fingers in her ass then woke up, hahaha In that LD I felt the urge to exert pure domination over anything in my way.

This was a long dream; I know other things happened, but I honestly can't recall what necessarily happened! And it's too bad I can't remember some of the smaller details, such as exactly what the names on the computer screen said.

I was in the laundry room, located in my basement. You know. It's that back room that has the washing machine and dryer, as well as other crap from around the house. The room was about fourteen feet wide by twenty feet long, and had cold concrete flooring that was painted pale, pale blue. Some of it was chipping off. There were large random segments of cut, flat Berber carpet (blue in color) around the floor, supposedly just for comfort as one would walk into the room. On the right was the washing machine, and right next to it was the dryer. They were both white and shiny. In the back half of the room, past the washing machine and dryer, was a wall dividing up the room. On the left, once you'd get to the wall, was a door. To the right of the wall, on the back end of the right side of the room, was a large white horizontal freezer.

I was looking to get someone to see my laboratory. No one was following me, but I was acting as if someone was. It's fairly difficult to explain. I went to the left side and opened the door, expecting a laboratory to be behind it. There was a small room with single squares of toilet paper neatly placed all over the walls. I laughed because of this and became lucid.

I looked around the lab and saw a long, all-steel desk against the wall with a black widescreen computer on it. There was no chair in front of it, so I was standing. I was lucid so, just for laughs, I decided to turn the computer on.

I imagined it was simply in "sleep" mode, and then pressed a round silver button in the lower right-hand part of the monitor, like many computers have. To the left of it were smaller, black buttons. The screen turned on almost immediately and I felt almost enlightened by it. Maybe it's because I've never used a computer in lucid dreams before, but I just happened to have easy access to one this time. I was very lucid, probably at 8/10 lucidity, but I didn't think of what my dream goals were or what else I could do. After turning the computer on, the first thing that appeared was the windows login screen.

There were four or five different names on the right side of the Windows logo, like a regular computer would have. However, the text of the account names was a bit larger, and in yellow. The names were also longer, at least ten characters each, some with underscores and random uppercase letters or numbers. I laughed once again, because most of them made no sense, and also because the computer actually worked properly. At least, from what I did with it so far. It was pretty awesome.

Hello I had last night a very short lucid. The way I went lucid is quite a bit funny xD

Hours of sleep: 9h
Vividness: 5/5
Recall: 2/5 --> Just remember a fragment

I'm standing in a street of my neighbour-town. I'm waiting for the bus. Everything is so clear and looks perfectly normal. Every little thing looks so real, that I don't even wonder if it's reality or not. The bus comes but it's full: at least 200 people were standing in it, it looked so overcrowded that I had the impression that the people were standing on each-other . So the bus doesn't even stops. A friend shows up. He asks me: "Did you missed your bus?". I answered no I didn't.
Suddenly a car drives with excessive speed on the road and stops in front of us. A bunch of really ugly women came out. Another friend, who is in the army, run towards us, he was in panic and screamed:"You have to run away from these ladies! They are so ugly that you will die when they catch you!"xD. The women start running towards us and yeah, they were so damn ugly! We ran away but they were quite fast. While running around the streets, a few buses drive past. I want to stop one of them, starts waving, but I see that it isn't the right bus. The driver breaks but I make signs that he had better to drive past. He looked at me a bit confused, than he sees the women and drives as fast as he can. The women run behind him.
I'm quite happy that they had finally gone. My friend from the bus station asks me: "Do want to go to this awesome outdoor party? It's not far away from here." I agree. We walk through a huge gate. I meet some DC's, they look really drunk. we go to a bar. The barkeeper asks me what we wanted to drink. At the same-time a female friend shows up. She orders soda, my friend orders Guinness. I don't know what to order, because I'm a bit confused by the fact that she was here, because she really hats the places were drunk people are. The barkeeper serves Guinness, but it takes really long. I watch at my clock, but without paying attention. I say to the barkeeper he should hurry up, that I'm gonna miss my bus. He finally serves. I don't pay attention and take the Guinness and drink it in one stroke. It tastes really, really awesome! I say: That's the best Guinness I ever drank!" The barkeeper: "Guinness is always a win, just like bacon!" I agree. xD
My friend is a bit angry that I drank his Guinness. I excuse my self and give him the money back. I start running towards the gate to get my bus. In the meantime I met some DC, they are vomiting because they are to drunk . I'm a bit shocked and I get for a moment sick. I ignore them and keep on running from this weird place.
I run through the gate. And I meet The Queen! I don't realize it, I wave my hand in this special royal way and say with a Oxford-accent: "God save the Queen!" She looks really confused and awkward but I don't give a damn on it! I finally get to my station. I wonder when I did for the last time some kind of RC. I look around me. I have the feeling that everything is frozen. Than suddenly I remember this meeting with The Queen. I asked my self if it really was The Queen. I tried to find some logic explanation (first I thought that she went to a costume party..) I finally plugged my nose, but I didn't do it right. So I do it again...AND I'm able to breath! OMG I'm dreaming! I ask my self what I'm going to do next, but I get a feeling of over-excitement. Everything goes instantly dark. I rub my hand as fast as I can, I feel the heat, but it's still dark and I awake.

Damn it! Why didn't I realize it earlier than it was a dream? And what the hell is the Queen doing there????
