At a camp - 4/5
I'm staying in some group cabins at a camp. Another lady comes into my room. She helps me clean up the garbages and some clothes-folding as we chat. She has a light British accent.

"I think the camp might be haunted," she says to me.

"Well, I heard that it was built over a native burial ground," I say. "That usually guarantees a haunting."

We leave the room and there's a party happening in the common area. It's now night time. I chat with my new friend some more, and I could've done all night, but we realized we should socialize with the other people too, so we promised to chat more later.

I saw a girl go outside to the deck, so I followed her out there. We both lounged on these deck chairs that could be manipulated like lazy-boy chairs. Another girl came out, and the three of us chatted. Then the other two brought out nail clippers and started working on their toenails huh I was a little put off by this, so I went back inside.

The next morning, I'm standing outside with a group. I'm looking at the gravel and I think, "What if this was a dream right now?" I immediately recognize the dreamy feeling and had a quiet "Oh!" moment. I stare at my hands (which looked normal) to ensure that the dream remained around me. I thought about finding Darren (I miss him), so when someone asked me my attention, I replied, "No, I'm going to stick around for a bit."

I walk back towards the cabins, and momentarily gazed out over the lake, mountains and trees. "I really want to fly out over that," I thought. "I want to find Darren though." Suddenly the dream faded out.

False awakening. I chained back in to the sounds of a stream. I then saw the stream and thought, "Oh cool, that worked out well!" Then it faded out again. I could still hear the stream, crickets and fishing lines in my head, but I couldn't get an image. I let it go, and chained into a new scene.

I was standing in a house. "Great, now let's try to find Darren," I thought. I realize I'm still wearing my pajamas, so I snap my fingers and change my clothes. I'm about to walk out through the front door when I see a guy just loitering, waiting. "That's unnerving," I thought. So I went through the house, out the back, and pushed off the ground to fly.

"Take me to Darren's house please!" I shouted and intentionally spun. The spinning kept going and went black and I wondered if I ruined the dream this way. When it stopped, I was still in the air, over a new community. Hmm.

Once again, sensing this was wasting my lucidity, I decided to find my old school and conjure up my brother. Unfortunately, my dream wouldn't let me come down (it was like I kept catching air pockets) and I woke for real.

Decided, upon awakening, that perhaps I should be asking Danny for his help in finding people. He's the only one I can ask for that appears.

Another false awakening
Can't remember what the real time was, but the FA time was 6:20am. Happy it was still so early in the morning, I fell back to sleep. I possibly had another LD here, but I can't recall it. During this FA, I remember wanting to try WILDing again. I remember feeling like someone (probably Danny) was pulling on my arm and rubbing it, trying to get my dream body working. And me thinking I was just imagining this feeling . I also recall there being a point where I had some paralysis bleedthrough into a dream, but I'm having troubles remembering more.

September 5, 2010 - 1/5

Very short scene that I DEILD'ed into during my snooze alarm. I was sitting at a picnic table outside. A very cute kitten approached me. It was mostly a typical shade of brown with flecks of light brown and white mixed in. I decided to call her Twixie, after a Twix chocolate bar and rubbed her head, which she was loving.

September 4, 2010 - 1/5

Most of the plot of this dream is lost on me now. But my notes say there were zombies. I remember Jack, Julia and I being at a store. And there was something to do with food. As in, we were trying to order some. We decided to go to a new location, and Jack left ahead of us. Julia and I got into the truck, and she drove.

The next point I remember is Julia had vanished. I was adamant that we needed to wait at this point for her, because she was a dreamer. She vanished because she woke up, and when she chains back in, she'll reappear in this spot. I said it was like the guy in the Time Traveler's Wife... whenever he time-shifted, he generally shifted back to the spot he left.

Nature imitates man
I walked outside and headed to the utility room where the freezer is at. I looked inside and saw a lot of Klondike bars. I closed it and I saw some strange insect walking around. It looked like two glade plugins next to each other, and the lights actually worked. I was pretty amazed for a second and I called my pops to come look at it. And I thought about RCing....and I did. Pops came over and looked at it, and tried to say that it wasn't nothing in there, and as soon as I headed off, I woke up.

This night I only had 3 hours of sleep, so my mother allowed me to stay home. When I got up I decided to sleep on the couch instead of my bed.. After a good long while... I finally decided to go back to sleep..

I lay down and suddenly I get that Sleep paralysis rush... Lucid attempting time I think.... So I open my "dream eyes" and I see a couch... But not ours... It's the loveseat.. I KNOW I'm not sleeping on the loveseat right now

It's very hazy and I have trouble keeping my dream eyes opened... I have A LOT of trouble moving my dream limbs.. It fades away...

-After I wake up again I instantly close my eyes and enter SP again.. The exact same thing happens to me.. Eventually I find myself somewhere... I have trouble remembering exactly where.. I do an RC (Finger through palm) but it doesn't work.. I do other things like try to Jump super high and fly but that doesn't work either.. I remembered "Spend your first few lucids getting used to the dream world.." But I had know idea what to do... How do I increase vividness?

asked a dc for dg location, went there, no dream guide. nothing.

Lost Dream Guide (dild)

I am in bedroom and outside my window I see the neighbor's house oddly painted a bright yellow. I look at my hands and have too many fingers. I slowly walk downstairs and through the kitchen. Taking in all the sights and sounds. I go outside and hope the fence into the parking lot. I see a co-work approaching with two dogs. They attack me. I am bit and it is a reasonably painful sensation. I toss the dogs off to the side and they run away.

"Where is my dream guide?" I ask. "...I dunno." he replies.

I go back to my porch and yell "Mom!". She walks out. "Where is my dream guide?" I ask. In, let me think, in a sort of shower" she she said. "What? Dammit, what shower? She tells me what I already know. She smiles. "In the neighbor's shower"

I do some spiderman shit. I jump up on the railing, a huge leap to the fence, on top of his roof, and jump down in front of the door. I enter.

I enter and the house is still quite messy and the same layout from (Part 4). So I know right where the steps are and bathroom. I go up and in, tear down the shower curtain and there is nothing in the bathroom.

For kicks I close my eyes and spin. My hands hitting the walls and sink. I keep my eyes close and do back flips. I open them and I am back in my kitchen. My whole family is there laughing at me because they say I am just spinning like an idiot. I wake up.

My friend said to me ''I want to be a goth so I can have cool hair'' Me: ''It's strange how some people become gothic only for the fation, and eventually ending up as a manga character'' Friend: ''Yeah'' Me: ''It's like at the point of loosing dignity when you dress up as your favourite manga character just for the hair''.

I was sick and spent most of the day in bed. While I was watching T.V in bed, my Grandma came in with a computer. On the screen was one of my old illustrations scans of a nautiloid mollusk. She told me that she thaught my illustration was ''very good''.
Later I decided I was going to drive to the hospital. I was in the back-seat of the car and the car was driving itself using the G.P.S for direction. After a while I noticed the car started to be following a car infront of me, so I worked out that that car must be going to the hospitol also. I climbed into the front seat and took control of the steering wheel, I thaught it would be good practice for driving for when I get my driving licence. I kept following the car infront of me until we arrived at a gate that was partially opened. The car infront of me was slightly smaller and was able to scrape through, I realized my car was too big, So I was about to open the door so I could get out of the car and open the gate wider, when the car rolled forwards and smashed the gate down. I quickly drove away and looked behind me in the car. The police man was yelling ''we need to close down the road''.
[I]At that moment I questioned myself:[/I] [COLOR="darkred"]''Since when has any of this been normal? I can't drive a car, I must be dreaming!''.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="dimgray"][I]Woke up[/I][/COLOR]

This morning I sort of screwed up my dream recall at first, by thinking I didn't remember anything, but turned out I just didn't try hard enough. Therefore, I almost forgot my second, short lucid! It's still a bit hazy, but at least I know most of the lucid parts.

As for the dream: Me, my sister and my old friend V, who I haven't seen for years, were out in the forest near our cabin searching for something. One of the things were a BB gun. We were right nearby. There was also a mouse and a rabbit there for some reason. I walked a bit away from the others and found the gun. As I picked it up, it struck me: "Why am I doing this, again? And why is V here, haven't seen him for years. Oh shit, it's a dream sign!" I quickly did the nose plug breathing RC, and I could breathe freely!
I touched some stuff around me to try and stabilize the dream. I went back to the others and told them there was no point, as this was just a lucid dream. They just looked at me with a strange look and kept searching. I didn't really care, I just wanted to explore the LD. But I wasn't 100% lucid, so I didn't have full control of what I was doing. I first wanted to fly, so I jumped up. Only came a few meters, and for some reason I blamed it on the forest. I then tried to change the whole scenery. Not only teleport, but actually to change the whole dream world around me. The whole ground started shaking, and it was like it all "bended" upwards, as if there was a volcano about to break loose. Then it all just slapped back in place, making leaves fly everywhere. I was so disappointed with the unsuccessful change, I lost lucidity.
I continued searching around for a little while, but then it struck me again that I was dreaming. I didn't do a proper RC this time, I just shouted out "this is a god damn dream," and stood there for a while looking at my sister and V, still trying to find the mouse or whatever. I had a real problem knowing what to do with my lucidity, for some stupid reason I couldn't think of ANYTHING! The dream started fading away, and I had a FA, which I can't even remember if I realised or not.

The whole thing only lasted for 3-5 minutes, but it was still great when I realised in the morning that I had had another LD

I dreamed I was with a small group of people. We came over to a big hole in the ground. A man was trapped at the bottom. I went down and got him out, and then my friends helped me out. Soon, we returned to our lair, and we somehow were wearing necklaces. A man came in and said they were evil. So, we all turned into werewolves and went postal. I came into a school(DS) and turned back to normal. I then became lucid realizing where I was. I tryed hard to get someone to help me. It was no use. I went outside and saw a young couple. They convienetly had silver chainsaws on them, and they wanted to help. We went in and won. They came with me to my friend's house. The girl invited me upstairs. We started to make out. The guy came in and ran away cyring. I went downstairs and came back up. Now she was making out with my friend Elliot! WTF, TWF, FTW? Elliot got up, and he ran away lighting fast. Then, I went all-out wereolf on the girl. Then, I awoke.

Dream
Lucid Dream
Awake
I dreamed I was at a water park. Oddly, I saw Sandy Cheeks, Mr. Krabs, and Squidward Tenticles from the show Spongebob Squarepants...wtf? So, there was this water challenge. We had to grind on poles across the water all the way to the end. I took the challenge, and won. Now I had to do the "blind" part of the challenge. It was the same challenge, but eyes closed. As I was about to launch into the water, someone mentioned school(DS). I did an RC, and became lucid! Sweet! Then, I hit the water and fell out off my raft. Eyes still closed, I was prepared to open them and risk waking up. I opened them...and was still dreaming. I climbed onto the raft. Now I did something amazing. I turned the water solid! Technically it wasn't ice, cause it was neither cold nor slippery. So, I ran to shore and hid. I summoned a small Roman town and prizon. Now some Romans came out of a building. I was somehow already in my Mandalorian armor. I pulled out my blasters and fired away. More came. I took the risk and used my jet-pack. A Roman grabbed my leg and I killed him. I flew into a building attached to the prizon. The Romans flooded in. I pulled out a Westar-33 blaster rifle and mowed them all down. I landed by a civilian. She'd seen everything, so I had to kill her. Now another girl came in. But she was an actual soldier. I fired at her, and she dodged the bolt! "How'd you do that?!" I asked. No reply. She charged at me with a spear. I grabbed it, and bent it. She took it back and swung it at me. I tried to dodge it, but she sliced my lower lip! "Wait.." I said. Like an idiot, she waited. Dumb DCs. I ran outside, then flew as high as I could go until I awoke.

I dreamed I was with a battalion of soldiers. We were crossing a chasm. After we crossed, we reached...my back yard? Odd. I went into my house. Suddenly, a giant beast approached me! This thing was far from friendly. I ran outside to the troops. We had no choice...we were gonna jump into the chasm. As I jumped in, I didn't just fall like normal...I soared fifty feet into the air. I suddenly became lucid without dreamsigns! Time to save my Mandalorians! Then, I had a false awakening! Then, I awoke for real.

I woke up from the previous dream and got out of bed, I had to go use the bathroom. I left my bedroom, went to the bathroom, and took care of business there before heading back to my room. A few days ago I got some letter stickers that I used to spell out "QUESTION REALITY" on the inside of my bedroom door. Those letters were not there when I had left my room, but they were there on the outside of my bedroom door as I was going back into my room. I pinched my nose, did the RC, and found I was dreaming. I became lucid.

Ok, now what was my first goal… to meet MoSh and find out about Romano! I used the door across my bedroom door and turned it into a portal to MoSh's inner world. I stepped through the door into the area outside MoSh's house, so I went right over to the house and knocked on the door, I wanted to be sure I got there and cloaked myself before Romano showed up, but I also wanted MoSh to know I was there. MoSh showed up, he opened the door and asked what was up, I told him why I was there, and he laughed a bit, then he said I was too late. Too late? I'd missed it? How could I have missed it already? I told him I had come right there as soon as I had become lucid… MoSh said Romano had already come and gone, so I had missed it… then he disappeared, apparently he had woken up.

Um… ok… that had not been expected… did I have another goal? I was pretty sure that I had more goals, but I was a bit unsure after the previous epic fail on reaching my goal… yeah. I remembered that the next goal involved meeting Nomad on the moon, we were going to talk to dolphins, which seemed unusual, but sounded interesting, so I opened a portal to the moon, to the biodome. When I got to the other side of the portal, Nomad was already there, he looked at me and smiled, then said we were going to go see the dolphins, at which point he jumped through a portal that had formed in the ground. I jumped through the portal after him and found we were falling from the sky into the ocean, I transformed into a mermaid as I dived into the water, Nomad also fell into the water, but I didn't see if he transformed.

Nomad and I swam for a short ways under the water until I spotted some dolphins, they were swimming around and playing with each other, then a couple of them came over when they spotted us. I noticed Nomad's form for the first time, he was part jaguar, and the first thing that came to mind was that he was a catfish… I started laughing, which drew weird looks from everyone, but I didn't mind. The dolphins, Nomad, and I were all communicating telepathically, Nomad asked if there was any hope for our world and those that live there, one of the dolphins clearly spoke above the others, she said there is always hope, as long as there is life there is hope. I was thinking to myself that yeah, there might be hope for the rest of the world once humans have all killed each other off… One of the dolphins said that all of that hatred is not good, he said to purge my heart of hatred. She said she had heard the saying that money is at the root of all evil, but it is not, it is hatred that is at the root of all evil.

I paused, then I asked if they didn't hate humans for destroying so much of the ocean, they responded that as a species, humans are young, like children, and when a young child pulls the tail of a dog, not understanding the harm they do, that child has to be taught, not hated. The dolphins were talking about how the purpose of living through this life was to learn and to teach, learn from those who know more and to teach those who know less, and thus exchange knowledge and allow everyone involved to advance to the next level. She said it is this knowledge that we all get to keep and take with us to the next world, the knowledge and the energy we create, whether it be positive or negative, is what we are, not these bodies. She said for an example, cats and dogs are working towards teaching humans about unconditional love, the dolphins had spent a lot of time watching humans and interacting with some, and were willing to both teach and learn, though they had found very few humans who were yet ready to learn what they have to teach. She said some other species were learning in the company of humans to care for other species, a mother tiger adopting piglets as her cubs, foxes befriending hound dogs, birds befriending cats, animals that are normally predators developing friendships with those who are usually their prey… She said that as with teaching any child, patience is needed.

I looked over to see what Nomad was doing, he was not there, I wondered where he had gone off to. Had he left with other dolphins? Had he woken up? Was there really any way to know for sure? I looked back to the dolphins I was speaking with, and I could tell they were smiling, they headed for the surface, got a breath of air, then came back down and floated in front of me again. She said that was enough of being serious… life is too short to be serious all the time… let's play! She swam off, grabbed a fish and ate it, then moved in strange patterns and pushed what seemed like a ball of denser water through the water at me. I caught it and threw it back, the dolphin batted it back with her tail, I used my mermaid tail to bat it to another dolphin, and we played with the ball of water for a while, it was fun to be in the ocean and playing with the dolphins. I continued having fun in that manner until I woke up.

I dreamed I was at a store. I noticed some flyers. When I left, I asked some girl to grab me one. I waited...and waited...and waited. I finally went in myself, and became lucid without dreamsigns! I came into the store's playroom. It was full of little girls. Just for my amusement, I turned them into hot girls my age. I went outside to a road. I saw some friends. Time to battle some Romans. I made my friends suit up in Mandalorian armor, then summoned some more. I went out to scout for a school bus, since it's what the Romans showed up in last time oddly. I see the Roman bus, and I activate my jet-pack. I pull out my Westar-33 blaster pistols. I mow down Romans one-by-one. My soldiers did a number on them too. Suddenly, a javelin came at me from behind and hit my jet-pack. My jet-pack exploded and killed me! WTF? Oddly, I didn't wake up like normal. I was now a ghost looking down at my dead body. Now I was really mad, because my soldiers surrendered! Now I awoke.

I dreamed I was in my mom's car with my mom and brothers. We were on our way to a toy factory to get Godzilla toys. On the way there... I became lucid without dreamsigns! So, as my brother went into the store, I turned into a human sized Godzilla and terrorized the people. When he finally left the building, I turned into the real 330 foot Godzilla and smashed the building. I continued my smashing until I awoke.

Note: I started off this night with three major goals, the first was to meet up with MoSh and see if I am able to be with him when he meets up with Romano, the second was to meet up with Nomad and go into the oceans to communicate with dolphins, and the third was to go through time and view a dream Walms had where it seemed that some insane version of me was attacking him for no apparent reason. Unfortunately, I was not successful in entering my WILD upon falling asleep, which made remembering my goals in the dream state considerably harder than it would have been had I been able to use my WILD.

As I was heading to class at ITT Tech I was convinced that there was something I was supposed to be doing, someone I was supposed to meet with, but I couldn't think what I was supposed to be doing or where I was supposed to meet with someone or even who I was supposed to meet with! That was driving me nuts that I couldn't think of what I was supposed to be doing and who I was supposed to be meeting! I was so distracted by it that I drove right past ITT Tech… well, that was easy enough to fix, I would just have to make a U turn and head back to the school. There was a lot of traffic coming from the other direction, so I wouldn't be able to make a U turn, so instead I waited for a brief break in traffic and turned left into a neighborhood. I was going to just turn around and head back to the main street, but there was a concrete median in the middle of the road and I couldn't get to the other side to head back. So I continued driving down the street looking for some way to complete my U turn, some way to turn left and then head back in the direction I had just come from.

So I kept on driving along the winding road, there was no way I was going to make it to class on time now, so now not only would I end up defaulting on whatever it was I had agreed to do with whoever it was I was forgetting I would also be late for or miss my class. This was not going well at all. At least I had a pleasant drive, though, through a curvy road lined with nice houses and a lot of trees, it looked like a very nice neighborhood to live in. I came around a curve and drove up an incline towards some nice homes at the top of the hill. There was no longer a median in the center, but I had ceased caring about turning around and heading back to school. One of the houses at the top of the hill looked strikingly familiar, though I couldn't place where I had seen it before nor could I think of how I might have seen it before since I had never been down that road. I pulled up next to the house, going slowly as I tried to think of where I had seen the place before and what it might mean, when a man came out of the house and looked right at me… great… now he was going to think I was some kind of crazy person casing the joint or something…

I moved to drive away from the house, but right as I pushed on the gas my engine died even though there had not been any signs of trouble just seconds before. The man was coming over to the car now, I was wondering if he realized I was having problems or if he thought I was a nutter, I figured I could tell him I had slowed down because my engine was making noises and then it stalled. At least I would have a good excuse for having stopped right in front of his house. He came over to my car and peered in through the driver side window, smiling in a friendly manner, it was a young man who looked to be in his 20's, he had short dark hair and a nice smile and I found myself staring into his beautiful brown eyes… He asked me what I was doing, and I realized it was rude to stare at his eyes or any other part of him, and I said I was just having car problems… He looked at me strangely and asked what I was doing using a car for anyway when I normally just use portals.

The man paused, then he said what I needed to be doing was cloaking myself so Romano wouldn't see me if he was to come tonight. Romano? Who in the world was Romano? Was Romano the person I was supposed to meet? It didn't sound like it, since this man was saying I should be hidden… or cloaked… how was I supposed to be cloaked? I must have been giving him a puzzled look because he asked me what was wrong with me, get out of the car and get cloaked, Romano might be arriving at any moment, and he wanted it to look like he was alone here… I was still confused… He asked me if I really had no clue as to what was going on, he asked me if I wasn't lucid, didn't I realize this was a dream? A dream? This is a dream? The man said yes, it was a dream, so hurry up and cloak myself, Romano might be there at any minute, I still didn't know who Romano was, but I was realizing who this man was… it was MoSh… and this was a dream, so I would be able to cloak myself. I got out of the car and focused on making my energy invisible, then I focused on Of Wolf and Man and changed into a cat, a black house cat… I did that and hid my energy.

Now I followed MoSh back to the house, I was a little kitty trotting along behind him, he seemed a bit impatient and acted as if there was something that wasn't going well at all. I was going to ask him what was wrong, but all that came out was a meow. I rubbed around his legs and purred, purrs are supposed to soothe anxiety, and it seemed like he had too much anxiety right now, he absent mindedly reached down and scratched me behind the ears, so I purred louder. I saw a dog entering the room,

a big dog I didn't recognize, MoSh reached down and scooped me up into his arms and started petting me, I continued to purr. The big dog came over in our direction, and sat down in front of MoSh, he was looking at me strangely, then at MoSh. I thought I heard voices, telepathic communication? Between MoSh and the dog? Was the dog Romano? Maybe… I was trying to tune into the communication and hear the voices when everything faded to black and I woke… it seemed I woke awfully suddenly…
