Bionic Suit Commando (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

In the last few hours before I woke up, I went from dream to dream, through different scenarios- while at the same time occasionally falling asleep within the dream and turning up somewhere else.

To begin with, I was back in school. I was trying to get myself organised for a formal I thought was happening tonight. I was on my way into school when I realised I hadn't even gotten myself a tux yet. I decided to take the day off school and get myself said tux. I went back home on foot and got out the yellow pages. For some reason, I was drawn to a tuxedo rental shop called "The Bank of Gestapo". I wasn't put off by the name, and called them up. -Or at least I tried to. I heard someone on the line before I even finished dialling, which turned out to be a woman from the Student Loans Company. This could have been a subconscious reminder to apply for next year's student loan... It's getting to that time of year! Somewhere around here, I fell asleep.

It felt like a very easy WILD, so I became lucid from here on. It wasn't great quality lucidity, in that it didn't click that the level above this was still a dream. Anyway, I found myself on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise. I was seated at the very left side, in front of the main window. Captain Picard was on my right. (I watched Star Trek for the first time in years yesterday ) We were descending through a murky atmosphere towards an enemy warship. I saw a shape in the gloom. It was the ship. It looked a lot like a TF Lander from Star Wars. Captain Picard had a short negotiation session with their leader by radio. It seemed we were here to pick up a "high-value target" - a person. The enemy ship wasn't happy about this, and said they were going to fire on us, before cutting off communications. Our ship was unarmed, and there was no hope of escape. Picard came up with a desperate strategy.
"Take us closer," he said. "Right up so we can see into their bridge." We came within a few feet of their bridge, so the two crews could see each other clearly. I put my feet up and gave the enemy captain the finger. Their ship had no option now but to back down. Firing on us would damage/destroy their own ship. They backed away, and we followed, keeping close until they landed... in the street down the road from my old house.

No sooner had we touched down than a man jumped out the bottom of the ememy ship and started running.
"There he is!" said Picard. He pointed at me, "After him!" I had a vague idea in my head of what I could pull off here, so I pressed a random button on my dashboard which looked like it could have been "eject", and I was shot through the floor of the bridge, through some mechanism and out onto the street. Except now I was wearing some kind of very lightweight mech suit. There was an extra foot's worth of machinery below my feet, which enabled me to run incredibly fast, and some apparatus around my chest. I took off running after the target until I came to the end of the street, where I took a left. I saw him ahead of me, on a bicycle. I charged. The suit would rattle uncomfortably when I was picking up speed, but once I reached the highest speed possible, it eased a bit. I ran down the middle of the road, passing cars going in my direction, and causing lorries to swerve off the road to avoid me in the other direction. As we passed the train station, I was gaining on him significantly. Then I started to lift off. I was flying a few feet off the ground, going even faster. Then he took an unexpected left into a large grassy area. I touched back down to give myself more friction for a sharp turn.


I wore something like this... maybe with less firepower though.

The target jumped off his bike and ran into a huge crowd of people who seemed to just be hanging out on the grass having picnics etc. I didn't loose sight of him, and he was quickly apprehended by the scruff of his neck.
"Gotcha," I said triumphantly. The people all around looked at me fearfully... then agressively. I levitated off the ground and raised my fist at them threateningly. "Don't try anything," I said. They started to advance on me anyway. I looked up for any sign of the enterprise. It zoomed overhead right as I looked up, and switched on its tractor beam. The target and I were lifted off the ground and out of harm's way. A few seconds later we were inside the Enterprise's bridge. I threw the target down. Mission accomplished.

Then I remembered that I had very little time to find myself a tuxedo for tonight! What was I doing sleeping?? I sat down in a chair and tried to wake myself up by closing and opening my eyes, trying to force myself back into consciousness. It worked, and for a few seconds I was very confused. "Tux? What the hell? I don't even have a formal to go to!"

Nooo Not the Sea! (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had a really disturbed night's sleep last night. Throughout the night I woke up dozens of times- many of which were false awakenings, and I always felt stressed about something. I don't know what I should be feeling stressed about, but something definitely wasn't right!

One DILD I remember quite clearly happened at the beach near my house. In real life the beach is a dump (not literally, just a mess), but on this occasion it was completely clean with just the odd piece of driftwood lying about. I was walking towards the bottom with my brother and a few other people, and we got to the part where it becomes a grassy bank. The huge rocks that are usually at the bottom of the bank were gone, so the water was quite deep right at the base. Also, the bank itself went right into the water, with grass all the way in. I was walking with the sea to my left, on the left side of the group, so I ended up having to walk along the steepest part of the bank. I felt myself slipping on the wet grass, so I threw myself down flat and tried to grab hold of something. It didn't work, and I kept sliding down towards the sea.
"Shit, somebody help me out here," I said. My brother stuck out his arm. By this stage my legs were already underwater and I remembered I had my phone in my pocket and it was about to get soaked..
"Hang on a second," I pondered. "That's the ultimate dreamsign." I checked my hand, and couldn't believe it. "Don't worry!" I said to my brother, and let go of the bank. I floated out from the land on my back, looking up at the sky. A part of me still found it painful to think of my phone getting wet, but I just smiled about it.

It was right here that I either woke up or had a false awakening. Woke up feeling like there was something important happening, but couldn't make any sense of it. :S

Nighttime Car Ride (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I WILDed when I went to sleep last night. I was probably only able to because I had no sleep whatsoever the night before, and had a short nap a bit earlier. After a while I started to see the inside of a car. Rather than be too "gung-ho" like I've been in my last few WILD attempts, I just looked rather than touching things and thinking too much.

The car solidified and I was sitting in the passenger seat. It was a dark night and my mum was driving. I specifically remember wearing a black t-shirt. I don't know why it was important, but my mum and I had a short conversation about it. There was something menacing about the opressive darkness outside. There were no streetlights, and the car's headlights weren't much good. As we turned on to a residential street, I decided to put on the radio for some mood-lifting beats. I didn't have a song in mind, but Guns n' Roses' version of "It's Alright" came on. I think I listened to it earlier in the day.

It had only just reached the first line of lyrics when I heard a buzzing. Then an excerpt from a song in the the Tenacious D movie cut in.
"Oh the dragon's balls were blazing as I stepped into his cave!" It was my ringtone, and it woke me up. God dammit Darren...

Deep Trouble (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This one was incredibly long. It felt like it lasted five or six hours, maybe more. In reality it couldn't have been more than an hour though. I'll try to condense it a bit.

It began with a school trip. Me and a load of friends/acquaintances were on a coach. It was driving through lots of small towns which looked like they were still in Northern Ireland. It was a pretty miserable day. Raining a lot, some traffic. The coach journey lasted about an hour, then the teacher told us to get off. Everybody was carrying a huge rucksack, and my arms were full from holding a really big sleeping bag.

What followed was a lengthy walk down some slightly-flooded streets. I kept collapsing from exhaustion and sliding for a bit. One time I tripped and nearly went face-first into a pile of soggy dog shit, but I saw it coming and shielded myself with the sleeping bag. My friend Hugh helped me up and we continued on. We arrived at a strange school a while later, soaked to the skin and about to drop. For some reason I was now wearing a Guy Fawkes mask. I saw it in the reflection of a door. We walked through a couple of classes, seemingly knowing where we were going. The last room at the end of a chain of rooms was ours. Most of the people from the coach were already inside and sitting at desks. I started talking to a girl who arrived just after us about how fucked I was. During that conversation my legs gave way and I ended up on the floor. A receptionist leaned over a counter and stared at me.
"Name?" she asked. I tried a couple of times to tell her my name, but kept spelling the surname totally wrong. It frustrated me, but I got it in the end. She told me to pick a table and pull up a chair. I instinctively ripped off most of my soaking clothes and wrapped myself up in a duvet I found in my backpack. I joined a table with a few of my friends at it and started writing something in a notebook. I can't remember what it was though.

A while later, after some missing time (but definitely in the same day), I was walking back to the coach. The weather had cleared up, and apparently the environment had changed completely. I was walking through the MW2 map, "Rundown". I started off passing the house at the top of the hill and walking down the steps into the enclosed courtyard. I was very angry about something, so I got out a LMG and started shooting at people. Snipers in ghillie suits kept trying to sneak past me, but I nailed them all. For a better defensive position, I ran up the wooden stairs and into the room at the end of the building. I camped at the top of another set of stairs and shot a huge number of snipers who kept trying to run up to me. I had a feeling that this was going to get me into deep trouble, but I didn't care, I was still pretty angry. Soon I heard sirens outside. I looked out the back window and saw a SWAT van pull up. There was a bit of a standoff for a while, but then one police man climbed up on the balcony and talked me down. I calmed down and handed over an Xbox controller. (lol) They put me in the back of one of the NI-exclusive white police vans and brought me to my old school.



I had to wait outside in the rain before I could see the principal. It was night time now, and they were setting something up in the main hall. It looked like a presentation of some kind. The sprinkler system was activated in the hall, and was soaking everything. I wondered why nobody bothered to turn it off. Here, I noticed my two front teeth were extremely wobbly. They weren't sore at all, but if I wanted to I could have just pulled them out. I was very concerned. I thought to myself,
"This is a textbook dreamsign, I fucking wish this was a dream." I honest to god believed it was real life. I based this on having lived an entire day, something I assumed would've been impossible had I been dreaming. After a while I was led into the hall and told to sit in the front row. I tried to ask somebody what was going on but I was afraid of knocking my teeth out. So I kept my mouth shut, causing it to fill up with saliva and blood. Not nice. I would have swallowed, but I was afraid I'd swallow my teeth, which were getting more and more precarious.
"Fuck this," I thought, and got up to go to the bathroom. I took a left when I exited the hall, towards the music department, where I knew there was a toilet. For some reason the music department was gone, replaced by an outdoor concrete football pitch. There was a game of women's football going on. My friend Stephanie approached me, and understood (from my miming) that I needed to find a bathroom. She directed me to a concrete out-building at the other side of the pitch. I ran over and tried to open the door. It was locked.
"Just a minute!" I heard somebody call. I was impatient, so I banged the door. It opened and out stepped an awesomely-hot girl I knew at school. I facepalmed. I didn't have time to explain, so I rushed past her and closed the door. I locked the door, which used a padlock :S and basically opened my mouth above the sink. A thick, slimy red goo poured out, along with some tooth-pieces. I was still disappointed that this was reality, and I thought to myself,
"I really am screwed here. This sort of thing never happens to me in real life, what bad luck." I kept spitting out red gunk and reached for a towel. As I did, I performed a lazy hand reality-check. It didn't look right. "Wait......" I said out loud. I examined more closely. I couldn't get a decent view of my hand at all. It was totally blurred!
"THANK FUCK FOR THAT!" I yelled. I wiped off my face, turned round and punched the door open, breaking the padlock. I threw my arms in the air and whooped. The participants in the womens' football game looked over. I swaggered triumphantly over and proceeded to organise a giant orgy. I was so relieved I felt I could do with blowing off some steam. Pun intended.

Re-run (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Another one where I don't remember becoming lucid, or doing a reality-check.

Strangely, this dream took place in the same school gym as the "Get Psyched" dream. The setting helped me remember it was a dream, since it's a place I haven't been in several years in real life. I started humming, and found myself singing Muse's version of "Feeling Good". I went on for a few minutes, but then realised I was just singing the same part over and over.

The lucidity was very clear. There was a definite feeling of being in complete control of my own body which I always remember from high-quality lucids. I thought about doing the task of the month- "jump off a skyscraper". I decided the best way to get to the top of a skyscraper would be to try and use my version of DEILD from within the dream. I closed my eyes to block out the gym, and visualised the roof of the skyscraper from The Matrix. I bent down and "felt" the concrete, but then the whole thing seemed to dissolve. My surroundings were gone, including the gym, and I wasn't quite sure what was going on. It felt like my head was fizzing. I quickly reminded myself to do a reality-check in the event that I woke up.



The next thing I remember, I woke up in a bed in the gym. I didn't bother to do a reality-check. I have no idea why. It was like I had just been reset completely. I sat up to see beds all around me. Beside mine was a cage with a small white mouse in it. I spent a while playing with it.

Very Lifelike (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I can't remember the start of this one, so I'm just going to assume it was a DILD.

I was standing in a residential street at night. It was raining very heavily. Thinking about it, I might have figured out I was dreaming from being "floaty". As in, gravity wasn't working how it should, and I was gliding a bit with every step. It's always a fun way to catch a dreamsign- "Hey I'm flying a bit! Oh, dream!" Anyway, I thought about doing the task of the year, and I really thought it was within my reach this time. It was a really stable dream, and I reckoned it would last a good while. I wondered about how to time travel. There were no DeLoreans in sight, and I couldn't be bothered asking random people if I could use their time machine again.



I ended up having a false awakening- in the very same street! I caught it, and started talking to a girl who sat down on the pavement beside me. I don't know what she said, but I remember thinking that her reactions and conversationalism were very lifelike -in a way which made me slightly doubt I was dreaming. How could a construct of my own mind seem to have independent thought? I kept trying to predict what she was going to say next, or figure out what part of me her words came from, but I couldn't make any sense of it.

It's a bit strange to me that people talking on their own fascinated me so much when they have always done it in my non-lucids and I've never wondered about it. I suppose being lucid opened my eyes to the curious nature of it.

Sandscraper (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This just came back to me while I was flicking through the forums and saw the task of the month. I remember attempting it at some point during the night.

I was climbing out of a pool of water in the desert, holding on to a sandstone pillar. I started hauling myself up the side of it, thinking about the task of the month- to jump off a skyscraper. I hadn't looked up to see the top of this structure, so I thought if I kept going I'd get pretty high. I climbed for ages, and when I reached the top of the pillar, I jumped on to a larger one which went up farther. Unfortunately I have no idea what happened next, or if I completed the task. Real bummer.

Comment Dream Lucid Dream

Oh, joy! I think I may have had my first LD this night in a long, long, time (8 years or so?). Before I went to bath I read about meditation on the internet yesterday. I then took a bath - which I normally never do - and relaxed. In the mirror I told myself why I would have a LD. Afterwards in bed, I spent some time on DVs (reviewing the my previous DJ entries, reading others', and rereading the chat log of the first MILD-1 lesson) and went to sleep. "I can Lucid Dream" must've been one of my thoughts. 'twasn't long, but it's a start:

I'm in my room at my mum's house (which I do sleep in atm) and for some reason realize I'm dreaming. I then see if I can float, which sort of works. I run to the attic, to the room of one of my two little brothers and fly out of the window to see how well I can fly. It is now that the vividness increases, but also that I can't remember what happened next. I'm not saying this was a full-blown lucid and entirely vivid, but I remember saying to myself: "I'm dreaming this" and making the decision to go the attic.

[EDIT]
I now remember I flew out the window, dived down and just before I crashed into the ground took up and flew about. I then thought about changing into a wolf (a thing I have done before in my dreams. I love the feeling of sprinting around, close to the ground with huge leaps). Couldn't really decide though whether I wanted to fly or run around, and my mind was still discussing whether it actually feels more like a wolf or a frog. I think the chaos is what made me lose control and ultimately lucidity.

-----

I'm in the bus riding home and I think I've got a girl seduced. She has black hair and, obviously, looks rather nice. When I get home though, and fetch the drink I offered her, I find her and my other brother (not the attic one) happily humping along. Whore. I run away and sit in my room, feeling crap.
I decide though, I'm not going to give up that easily and at least tell them what traitors they are. Fortunately, when I re-enter their room, I see now what a monster the girl really is. She's fat and has tons of boobs and asses all over her body. Iew. (Wtf @ my mind) In a strange twist of fate I think it would be better if I just became a second Indiana Jones now (I'm not even a Jones fan) and start looking for secret caverns. After some time I find a huge labyrinth in a kitchen somewhere. By figuring out a poem I found somewhere, I know the exact way to traverse the maze (left, right, then crawl through a small hole). Later on I have to fight some monsters and at the end a giant Majin Buu. I'm not even into DBZ, and the monsters looked like this:

Zombies in the parking lot (MILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

My wife's "lovely" bosses sent her one of their usual "Lovely" emails at night, which pissed her off before going to bed. That annoyed me as well and I did not focus on anything. I woke up at 5am with a short fragment, at 6:20 am with another fragment that I was able to recover into an almost full dream. I said to my self I so not wanted to come only with crappy dreams, having a lucid dream was a MUST to make the night at least a little decent. I fell asleep determined and had a lucid. Total of three dreams:

Third:

I was online browsing the DV boards. There was a section for fan art. People would request to have a personalized Pokemon face. I could see the images of different pictures of Pokemon, with their tongue outside like Next I could see their real photo. I found out it was a good idea and I would like one of those as well. I realized it would be nice to have a blend of a Gengar and a Ball Lightning (this second one is not a Pokemon but a Magic The Gathering card) I realized I could do it by myself. I wanted something like this:







I realized I had to do some arraingements so I closed up my computer, grabbed my car and drove. I got to a indoors parking lot. It was packed with cars, but I found a parking spot, so I did park my car there. I exited my car and I saw two female DC walking by. I was walking towards the store and I felt really lazy. I said to myself, "I hope I was dreaming... It would be cool and I would not need to do the arrangement"

Then I turned lucid. I did not do any reality check, but I found out I was indeed in a lucid dream. I walked by a wall, there were no cars parked here. I tryed to open a void. I did not intend to travel to a particular place and I neither put a lot of effort on my task. The portal did not open and I did not insisted. I realized I was lucid with little control over the dream. It did not bother me, I was not looking for any particular goal on this dream. I walked by two huge elevators. On one of them there were two DC and the other one was empty. The light of this elevators did not work, so they were totally dark.

I considered in getting inside one of them. I new it would be very cool. However, I remember that I suggested a similar task of the month for September, so I passed to spoil the fun if it gets selected. I kept walking around the parking lot.

A few small kids (about two feet tall) appeared. They had really sharp claws. They started to attack me. I saw myself bleeding but it did not hurt. I realized they were zombies by the look of their face.

They looked like this. If you are very sensitive, do not open the spoiler, it has a little gore:

Spoiler for Zombie Kid:

I tried to blast the kids. They were a few of them, but I was not able. I lost the imaginery of the dream entirely. I realized I was about to wake up. I wanted to kill the zombies first so I started to spin very fast and recovered the dream. I attempted another blast with success and destroyed all these zombie kids.

I found a small gun. I grabbed it and put it into my pocket. I saw five DCs. Three male and two female. The male ones had some blood on their shirt, so I figured they were zombies. I tried to save the female ones, they looked OK. I shot right in the chest on the male DCs. The gun did not work, however, the guys that I tried to kill did not realize it. I grabbed one of the females DC and started to run. The dream faded.

I had a false awakening in my room. I started to talk with my wife about the dream I just had. I suddenly saw my wife in this parking lot. I was a viewer now. I explained to my wife what happened. Suddenly, I heard the noise of a shotgun loading. My wife laughed and told me, "You nuts! What you were doing!" I laughed and realized that I had no shotgun but a regular small gun. I woke up for real.

Missed dream signs:
- None

Noticed dream signs:
- Hopping I was in a dream.

Reality check performed:
- Turned lucid without them.

Mountain sex


Vague dream about running down a steep slope or trail. I was intercepted by Asuka. and the rest I will leave to your imagination.

No Way

I went to some strange house. In the entrance way there were some people there. There was some strange conversation about how I don't currently have a GF. and all the DC's were like "WHAT? But your such a handsome guy.".

Apparently they wanted me to play a concert for them. I looked and found my guitar... but there was no amp to playy for them.

Later I was in the backyard and a bunch of mindless Asian DCs were in the backyard. I remember one guy bumping into me so I Pushed him. He kind of shook his head and kept walking. He reminded me of those robots in japan, in one video where this guy touched a robot woman's shoulder and she shook her head the same way.


Backyard Discipline

I'm sitting on some lawn chairs in my backyard sitting beside the one new boy in my house.Shawna was sitting next to him, she looked about 12 years old. The boy nudged me and said "I like her but she told me she was a lesbian."
I said "at that age? really? I think she just doesn't like you and made that up. She shouldn't lie like that." The boy looked at her again and then she shot him with an energy blast.

data grabbed Shawna, and Asuka joined him... The bent her over and began spanking her yelling "Bad girl". The boy looked at me and giggled.

Chantaral

I Was being shown a photograph of a family portrait. I recognized one of the girls as Chantaral who is the sister of the boy from the previous dream. I said I recognized the girl to whoever was showing me the picture.

New house

I went into a house that was supposed to be my friend Darcy's. I walked in and some of the characters seemed to recognize me. The entire place was freshly hung with Drywall. I remember talking with them for a bit.

My attention turned to a door leading downstairs. I had sudden memoreis of this stairwell and being able to climb something in it. In the memories Yves was there.


Seeing a movie

I vaguely remember talking to some girl I knew from high school. We were outside at night time. after we talked i said I had to go see the movie "Inception". I then walked towards a movie plaza... but I got distracted by something. I forget what it was but my memory fades here.

Strange place

Third person view watching myself and some other people on a strange platform. There was a man saying there was something important about a phrase with the word "moon" in it. He was telling everyone that they should repeat this phrase a lot. But I forget what it was.

Lucid

I became lucid during the middle of some dream. I tried time dilation and did it wrong again. I put my hand on the ground and counted my fingers. I tried to mentally keepp track of every group of five and what it added up to. I got to around fourty. My vision went blank. But sometime later i was somewhere else. Very vague recall here.



Tranny sitcom

Some strange woman led me into her bedroom. She began stripping down. I then notice she was wearing a pair of male gonch and had what looked like an erection underneath. I was a bit confused so I asked what it was? I heard a drum roll going off in the background. at the final snare hit she said "It's something I can feel". Then I heard laughter and clapping in the background along with some silly music. I was still very confused as I woke up

Car WTF



I was flying on the highway and found some car being driven by teenage boys. There was an exterior car frame. and an interior frame which encased the driver and passengers. I flew into the car and had a FA in the backseat. The driver turned to me and said "I can't believe you suggested butting another car frame over this one it's stupid. " I became lucid and said "How come I always fucking dream about being in a car and I always get blamed for it's problems"

Ok so I typed up the dream report... but then this site f#$%ed up and deleted all i wrote... so if your interested then ask me because I'm not typing up that two dream length report again.

... dammit that pisses me off, and yes it was a shared lucid dream that I had with one of my friends who's currently not amember on this site.

I focused on following don Juan and MoSh, tried to open a portal, but nothing happened… hmmm… maybe I was really not meant to follow them. I figured I might as well continue to another goal for the night…

I opened a portal to get back to the biodome, my first thing would be to check to see if anyone was waiting there for me at the koi pond. I went through the portal and entered the biodome right next to the tree which grows loaves of fresh bread instead of the usual apples or oranges, I picked myself a loaf of fresh french bread, it already smelled of butter, then I went to the bench by the koi pond. I sat there and ate my bread, it was definitely already buttered, I tossed a few pieces of bread into the pond, those were quickly snatched up by the fish. After I finished my bread I sat there a couple more minutes, but I was afraid if I sat there and did nothing for too long I would lose lucidity or lose the dream or both, I kind of felt the dream slipping even now, I stood up and focused on one of the koi to try to stabilize the dream. As I brought the koi into focus the dream around me became more stable. So what now? One of my goals was to share an Oblivion dream with Tigress… either that or a DDO dream, either way, I had to find Tigress first. I opened the portal with the goal of locating Tigress for this kind of dream.

I emerged from the portal to find myself in a grassy area near a cave. I wasn't sure where I was, but it did look something like a scene in Oblivion, which was one possibility I had been looking for. Of course I had been looking for Tigress, not for a specific location, so I thought she might be somewhere in the area. I looked around to see if I could find Tigress anywhere, and I finally spotted a woman there with me, though if it wasn't for her energy I wouldn't have recognized her as Tigress… although the form did make sense. She was a khajiit off of Oblivion, she had armor and weapons and looked ready to head into battle.

She gave me a strange look and then said there aren't any Assassins in Oblivion, I said there are, there's the Dark Brotherhood which is basically an Assassin's guild, and I have seen screenshots where people have created a custom Oblivion character to look like Altaïr. Besides, this is an Oblivion dream, not the actual game Oblivion, so I can be whatever character I want. She said she wasn't trying to say my being an Assassin was bad, just that there are no Assassin's Creed style Assassins in Oblivion, so it would be interesting to see how it worked if I kept my actions limited to the game abilities of Altaïr. She said she thought it would result in a kick ass character. She said she already had a quest, she described the quest to me, our goal was to sneak into the goblin caves and find the lost magical sword of flames within, but we would most likely have to fight our way out once we had it because taking it would alert the goblins. But if we were discovered before we got the sword, the goblins would no doubt move it to a new location and we would lose our chance to steal it. Stealth on the way in, steal sword, fighting on the way out. Got it.

So now Tigress and I quietly entered the cave, the door made a creaking noise that seemed disturbingly loud, but the sound didn't draw any response. There was a long passage that lead to a ledge overlooking a larger chamber down below. At the far end of the chamber there were two goblins guarding a door, it looked like the large chamber was there so that no one could easily sneak up on the guards. The room was well lighted with torches, the goblins were too far away to make an archery shot easy, and there was no hidden approach. While the archery shot appeared difficult at best, that didn't deter Tigress, who pulled her bow off her back and aimed an arrow at one of the guards. She had one arrow aimed, a second arrow already in her hand, then she fired… and fired the second arrow in quick succession. Both of the goblins dropped silently to the ground. Nice shots, and I told Tigress so. We went down to the lower level using a ladder and went straight to the cave the fallen goblins had been guarding, Tigress found a key on one of them and used it to open the door.

There was another passage beyond the door with doors opening off to the sides, but there was no way such a valuable item, and we also had intelligence reports that the sword we were looking for was down on the third level of the dungeon. The passage ended in a larger room where there were quite a few goblins lined up, like soldiers ready for battle, but that didn't last for long before they moved out in an organized line. That left four goblins visible on the other side of the room talking amongst themselves. They didn't seem to be paying much attention to our side of the room, apparently they didn't consider the threat of invasion to be very high since they were in a very relaxed and casual state. About ten feet to their left there was a large bell that would no doubt serve to alert the rest of the goblins in the dungeon that there was an intruder. I scanned the room and saw there were also two goblins on either side of the passage exit. So, at the same time, Tigress let loose a volley of arrows to take down the four goblins in quick succession and I knifed the goblins beside the passage entrance with my hidden blade.

So our quest continued like this, us progressing silently through the maze of passages, selecting the passages that were least watched by goblins which meant that they were sometimes harder to traverse. Tigress took out distant goblins with excellent archery skills, making hits that looked neigh impossible, I snuck up on goblins that were never aware of my presence until my blade was already in them. We finally found our way down to the main treasure chamber, which had to be opened by inserting five seals in the star shaped carving. Once the seals were in place, the carving turned around and the door slid open. The room beyond looked really cool. There was a sword on display in the middle of the room, on a small pedestal in a cylinder of light, the sword was floating in the air, hilt down, blade up, and it was on fire. The room was filled with a dim blue glow.

Tigress and I went into the room and over to the sword, which was burning brightly, I somehow knew that as soon as someone touched the sword an alarm would sound. Tigress and I paused for a bit, I formed Witchblade into a sword and motioned to Tigress that she could use the fire sword since her element is fire, and then she took it. Sure enough, the sound of alarm bells rang through the caves, I didn't even know how they had been set off, but they were loud. Goblins were coming in from the chamber entrance, our way out was completely blocked, and we were completely surrounded. The goblins were growling menacingly, no doubt assured of their victory… Tigress and I fought and killed quite a few goblins. They were staying back, but they still blocked our way. We would just have to go through them.

Tigress and I were about to do just that when there was a portal, and MoSh came into the room. He didn't even seem to notice the goblins there at all, he looked annoyed at me… He said that since I hadn't followed him and don Juan he was going to completely forget everything they said and did. He said he was going to completely forget what don Juan had said about tapping into his inner power to reach his full potential, Tigress let out a "pfft" that MoSh didn't notice or ignored, the goblins were getting a bit perplexed by this newcomer that had somehow gotten straight into their treasure chamber and was completely ignoring the lot of them. The goblins were snarling angrily at all of us, especially at MoSh, who turned and told them to shut the fuck up, they weren't about to forget some important information. Well, he might as well use it during the short time he would have it… He took a few steps towards the goblins, stopped, then a wave of energy expanded out from him and incinerated every goblin it touched, though it washed harmlessly over Tigress and myself… Shortly after the energy wave MoSh disappeared, apparently having woken up.

Well, whatever had brought MoSh there, he had broken the barricade of goblins, causing quite a few of them to run away in fear of whatever that energy pulse had been. Tigress and I got out of the sword chamber and fought our way through the goblins, taking them down in huge numbers, leaving a trail of dead goblins in our wake. We finally got out of the caverns and into the sunlight, which was very bright after the caves, and it appeared it was even brighter to Tigress since she was a khajiit. Tigress said the sword was a treasure of the khajiit, it had been stolen by the goblins. I told her I thought I was about to wake up, so I would see her later, and then I woke.

This is my dream i had last night after trying a wbtb wild.

I'm playing Modern Warfare 2 with my friends online, only i'm in the game. I don't know where i am for say, but its near a water heater, so likely in a basement of some kind. I'm doing well but I end up hiding near the mentioned water heater. I bend over and keep my head down. It is down there I do a RC. I look up and i'm in my Grandmas house. There is a TV in front of me with MW2 on it. I think of playing some, but realize I want to go outside and fly. I walk outside onto a small porch. I look up and then start hovering. The hovering turns into a full flight straight up. I end up flying through a tornado of things i like. Just everything i think is cool or badass was just whirling around. My stupid self ends up closing my eyes during it and i wake up when i open my eyes again. I did a RC upon waking but it wasn't a false awakening. I couldnt get to sleep for 30 minutes i was too pissed off.

lol this one sucked, until the end. like all of my other lucids lately, i cant remember how i got lucid, or even when. i do remember doing a finger through palm RC though. it was different from the other times i did them, i could actually feel the inside of my hand, even bone, and it didn't hurt, it was cool . i was inside a house, i think it was my grandmas old house. i was in a room, thinking of what to do, i was gonna go do some element bending, but then i remembered "dream guide!" and set off to find it. i remember walking toward a door, a bedroom door, thinking "well if its a "dream" guide, then it must be in a bedroom!" lol. i opened the door but no one was in there. so then i walked toward the bathroom, and told myself "my dream guide will be on the other side of the door". when i opened it, something weird happened. there was a bathrobe, leaning against the wall next to the shower, as though a person was just in it, and had disappeared. i was like "crap!" and walked out. i tried this several times, to no avail, until the last time i did it. when i opened the door, there was a small latino girl standing in front of some shelves, looking at me. she wasn't pretty, but i was like "thank GOD, are you my dream guide?". she said no.
lol i was so disappointed. i don't remember much of our conversation, she said something about my dream guide though, like "she couldn't make it" or something, gasping after, i don't think i was supposed to know what my dream guide was, like it was a surprise or something. i was like "she? sweet!" lol. i think thats all i remember

...but I can't remember it!
I vaguely remember spinning to change the scene in front of me, then I did it again. I think I could see a white place, then I woke up.

I thought to myself "Hmm... maybe I should write this down... Nah, too tired..."
I didn't really feel like getting up and turning on the light.

How do you get yourself up in the middle of the night?
