lucid

As per class 2, prior to sleeping I spent most of my time imagining a forest. I pictured myself touching the bark of an old oak tree, feeling it a little, then shooting up through the branches and leaves into a vast expanse of trees. The forest forms an infinite valley of greenery, and I fly around it.

sadly, this didn't play out the was I envisioned, but the night was a success regardless!

I only recall few fragments from my first dream. I was being transported all over the world. All I remember is that the Worlds' climate was in danger, and I ended up in Australia. There was a giant yellow sign depicting all of the atrocities Australia was doing, and it was claiming they were using a fourth of the worlds resources.

I woke up early again. Probably about 6 AM again. Our cat was clawing at my backpack. Soon after I moved it, I decided to try to WILD, and realizing Alyssa's dad would be up for work soon, I decided I should use headphones to cancel out any sound. I listened to my binural beats track. About 1 hour after trying to sleep while relaxing, my eyes started flickering intensely and I felt my heart beating incredibly loud. This happened on my last time trying to WILD, but last time it was accompanied with visuals. I don't remember any clear visuals with this attempt, except at one point I was positive I was seeing blurry silhouettes of people. My left shoulder and right thigh started to feel weird, so I decided to snap out of it and just go to sleep normally. The whole time I was trying to WILD I was concentrating on the image of a forest.

The last dream I remember, I was in some sort of mansion of sorts. Filled with several different people. I remember the architecture of the building made no sense. I can't give any real specific examples, but there were only certain ways to get to certain rooms, hallways weren't really present. I recall having a FA into a room of the mansion that looked similar to the room in waking life that I was currently sleeping in. I thought it was a strange dream. Then I'm not sure what tipped me off, but something didn't feel right. I looked at my hand, but didn't see anything. I was positive it felt like I lifted my hand up, but I could only see my thumb. I put it back down, and tried my other hand. Again, I saw nothing. I came to the conclusion I was dreaming, and became lucid. I remember looking around the room, trying to take it what I could. I looked down at Alyssa and had the thought of waking her to talk to myself, but she was breathing in a strange way so I decided against it. I took a few steps towards an air hockey table that didn't exist in the waking world, and felt a vibration coming from my cellphone in my pocket. I went to grab it and answer it, but as I did, I woke up.

It wasn't the most amazing lucid, but it certainly beats my last record of becoming lucid and the dream exploding to white. Looking forward to my next lucid--hopefully to complete the task of the week!

Okies so,

This is the first entry for me here so be gentle, should probably work on shorting down the descriptions a bit, but as I am only getting back into dreamworks (clever ey!) I find it helpful to increase the level of detail I notice, I might start shorting down the forum posts and keep the detailed descriptions to a private journal.

Notes/reflections

12-08-10 Attained lucidity after waking from a dream within a dream. In the first dream I was hearing routine scraping sounds from my living room and I feared these a bit. In fact i feared them so much that I would not go to the kitchen in order to get some water or milk (I knew I had no milk). I decided instead to go to the toilet which was a hotel style toilet (even though it was right next to my room and I have no such toilet I didn't spot the hint) I was sitting in this toilet looking at the details noticing the increased space, but also that there was a sign right next to the toilet that explained what it was in different languages. I returned to my bed and noticed that my duvet was a bit too small that I could somewhat not fit under it and hide from the ghosts of my flat. At this point I woke up (within the dream) and the scraping sound was now louder from the room next door, but this time it was accompanied with a whisper clear in my head and I looked around and saw a transparent face. Now I suspected I was dreaming so got up, confronted the ghost and told him ”you are a spirit, I am dreaming” he tried to talk me out of it, but I tested my thesis by trying to fly, successfully. I landed snapped my fingers and said ”I am dreaming” I awaited a bit to see if the excitement would wake me up, but this waiting a bit seemed to stabilise the dream. I made the face my spirit friend and told him to come along for the ride, saying ”you are created by me”. I went to the corridor of my flat and tried to fly straight through the door, but everything became black as I tried to do so and after another unsuccessful attempt I decided to try the window instead. Here at first I banged my entire body against the glass (without it breaking) and I took a step back, focused and flew straight through the glass without breaking it. My spirit friend was at this point a bit behind me, but since he wouldn't keep up (or I couldn't be bothered keeping creating him) I flew high and low and saw some people on a spot of grass, and landed in front of them. I told them I was dreaming and that they were projected by me and that we should relish the chance to have a party. The scraping sounds had now turned into a full on funky house background theme song that stayed till the end of the dream. I flew down towards the university and a mass of people where gathering, again I told them they were just in my head and they accepted this and things turned riot like, in a good way. A car with some people in it and an angry driver Jacob Kliver, an old football coach of mine approached. He looked angrily at the people in front of him so I flew straight towards the car (to give him the surprise of his life ^^) put my feet first and kicked the window (without breaking it. The car emptied and I picked it up, to the amusement of the crew around me and tried to throw it in a top floor window, I couldn't quite get it to fit although I tried 3 times, but they seemed happy enough that I could throw a car around. However determined to prove that I could achieve some proper stuff I summoned a leather/metal sofa (now getting reminded that telekinesis was also within the realms of reality) picked it up with my mind and planted it halfway through the top window of the building across the road. I flew onwards and decided that I wanted some sexual/romantic action too and wanted to kiss the first girl that turned up, which happened to be a delicate good looking friend of mine reminding me of Sarah. I kissed her, but it was just too wet and I had some fun explaining to the girl that it was probably because I was kissing myself and in an attempt to stick my own tongue down my throat I was drooling all over the place. So I wiped my mouth and flew on without much happening till I got to a night club where I saw Sarah and a guy that had been on a street earlier. The funky house music was now coming from the speakers of the club and we decided to hang out a while. The guy I decided was a pain in the ass and I wanted to erase him, which I couldn't. I had a conversation with the guy about it saying it was funny that I couldn't because in reality he was a projection of my mind (not sure he thought it was funny) they left, after I insisted on getting his name, which he had to tell me twice (Jay 100) and I went to the window and decided to do a full on telekinetic exit I shattered the glass outwards with my mind (explosion style!!) jumped from the window in a huge arc and landed on a radiator on the outside of an adjacent building, to great amusement of some random people passing by (yes it seemed perfectly logical that a radiator would be placed on the outside of a building, at least at the time!). I decided to practice a few dancing moves, but at this point I had some trouble breathing. I took some time to focus and regain my breath, which I did (although I have no idea as to how, when I woke up later I was face down in my pillow). I danced a bit and did some heavenly parcour (spelling?) until I had some trouble breathing again. At this point I became scared thinking I might not wake up even if I was dying because my conscience was not with my body. I demanded to wake up without success, until I decided to close my eyes and focus on my breath (I have only recently tried WILD techniques, unsuccessfully, but apparently they are great for stopping a no longer wanted dream too =P) and woke up, drawing a deep, DEEP breath (after having pulled my face out the pillow).

Notes: This is the second time the presence of a ghost gives me the hint of the fact I am dreaming. This was in fact a wake back to bed attempt as I had been sleeping most of the day after not having slept much yesterday and getting called to work this morning by my dad.

Regarding the content of my dream, the meanings can be interpreted in a standard Freudian manner about desires, fears etc.

Also at some point there were some old school knee pad protectors (brown and fluffy) and I somehow knew I would need them, although they don't figure in the later stages of the dream(s). However I am not sure what dream they figure in.

12-08-10 Fragmented series of dreams. I was somewhere with some friends of mine Kaiser was there. As the end of the trip approached he told me he was looking forward to going to a long planned event with me that I had totally forgotten. Even as he reminded me of the contents of this event I had no recollection of what happened and how I got involved. He later tried to sway me me by having Dukakis on a call and a friend of Duki's asked what and what was happening to me, I believe the place I was supposed to go was Bulgaria. Later on I even took out my calendar flipped through the filled out pages (I should kill myself for not realising this was a dream here, as I oppose diaries and calendars with a passion) and did indeed find the date in mention with a note called “focus fuck” referring to my intentions of participating in this event. I still couldn't remember a damn thing, and although now I was actually getting convinced I had agreed to it, I was sure I hadn't agreed to anything that took place foreignly. When I in the end refused to go, Kaiser was severely disappointed, in fact he was in tears and this touched me. We departed at the train station, actually a hell of a lot of train travelling took place, and I ended up in bulgaria although Kaiser and Duki were not part of this segment of the dream. I met a girl, not a very attractive girl (in fact with a female mustache) but I felt connected to her and I liked her in a non-sexual fashion. We were not able to communicate a lot and therefore we decided to attend a language school together and at this language school the teacher asked who was serious and actually intended on learning something rather than being there to get credits for something. Both her and I decided that we were going to learn the common means of communication. However this never occurred as a demonic (seemed goblin like) police officer turned up in a car outside. He shot the girl in the throat, a fatal wound, and I never managed to catch up with him. I returned to the home of the girl and decided to remain a little longer in the company of her brother. Her brother introduced me to an older brother of his, who had experience and an underground network of people, in fighting supernatural beings. One of these ended up being a warewolf, also a police officer and I was riding a bike with this older brother who told me the gun I had was loaded with silver bullets. I shot this man who was chasing us from the back of the bike, I hit him in the shoulder, but because of the silver bullets this was enough to kill him. As he was dying I noticed that he started to shift (he grew a mean ass set of teeth!) and I also noticed that from the bullet wound a silver coating appeared engulfing the man's shoulder starting from deep within his veins. We returned to the house of the siblings and we went to a field to play some football the two brothers and I (after having ventured on yet another train travel). I somehow had a ticket that would allow me free roaming transport on any train, after having checked this with a controller. In the end I departed and explained to the younger brother of the girl that despite the tragic circumstances I was glad to have gotten to know him better and had a good time. I woke up.

Notes: This is not the first time I have experienced (and missed) trains as a clear dream sign.

Lucidity: 5/10
Vividness: 5/10
Length: ~5 Min.

I was in a giant playground where people were playing soccor, then I saw Toph. And a burst of awareness hit me, I was like "Toph, come here." Was what I was thinking. When I tried to talk to her soccor balls were flying all over the place. When I looked around, she was gone. I tried to stop the soccor balls but it didn't work. Then I saw two jets flying around so I decided to fly up there. I thought "well I might as well try flying." So I just got the idea of flying in my head and crouched for a moment, then jumped. I put my hands up like in super man and I was thinking about falling/failing, then I started to go slower. Then I was "oh crap" and decided to get it out of my head and concentrate on going faster. Then I went faster, I tried to go towards the jets but I almost ran into the building. So I went higher. I was about to try a second time when they came towards me. I think this was how I destroyed them. I just got the idea in my head of destroying them. And they blew up. Then I disapeared and I was like in a camera thinking "oh crap, I lost lucidity." But I didn't because I was thinking it, the camera went over to a building where the blown up helicopter was and I saw some guy down there in a giant suit. So I wondered if I could move him and if this was my body and it was. I went back to 1st person mode and I walked down this hallway. I went through a series of elevators that went side-to-side. One of them had all of these switches and I tried pushing them all. One closed the door so I didn't close that one again, and the other one closed the window. I tried it again and it made it go up and down again. And on the third attempt it opened. I saw these guys in white suites and I decided to attack them. I grabbed them with a giant white hand that I had and they shrunk. The next one I just saw if they would attack me. Turns out they just sat there. So I found a door that I decided to go in and when I got in I looked at the room and I saw a bed, I thought "might as well try sex again, the dreams going to end one day anyway." So I went up to the door that I came in and I tried to imagine what some broad looked like. And said that she would be behind this door when I open it. And some ass hole appeared there. He was trying to get in. I said "hey dude, could you stand behind that door. Thank you." And I closed it on him. The second attempt was a failure too. The same guy was there so I went to the other door that I found because the door fell down. I said that I wanted a hot girl. And there she was, she was short but hot. So I put her on the bed and told her to give me and my friend a BJ. I didn't atchually know him, but whatever. I blinked my imagineary eyes and she disappeared. I was like "not again." I tried to bring her back, but instead I just lyed down and imagined her giving me a BJ. It felt good, but right after that I woke up. I felt like I almost cummed. I was like "oh crap" and checked, but it's all good.

This one was way better than the other one. And I've decided that flying and destroying stuff is alot more fun than sex. I'm gonna try water bending next time. Yay.

Longer, but not by much. Lucid. Was in a place that looked like Wasteland from Modern Warfare 2, and I saw my friend and I was hugging her, and her parents started to have a fight with mine. I first tried very simple mind control in my dream and I made my friend who was walking away from me come back for a hug. After a while of our parents fighting I woke up.

Very short. First Lucid. Was in a house. I walked around and I jumped to fly and I woke up.

Laurel

I was with dad at their house in Masterton. He had bought a nissan Laurel. It was realy old, sludgy and moss all over it. He said he had gotten our cousins who live down the road to take the rear windscreen out for him. I told him not to worry I could do it for him. I was also going to do some other fix ups on the car.


Long way down!

I was far up north, near Auckland maby. The whole family was in the car and we were by the sea. We were on a familiar beach and decided to do around the rocks to the next part of the beach. When we got around there must have been 200 maori kids playing in the sand. They completly blocked the massive beach off. They were all sandy and muddy all having a good time digging up sea shells and playing around. We got a bunch of them to make some way so we could get through. We got to the end of the beach and I saw this big fat rottweiler sleeping behind a rock. We drove over a small road onto this island. The island was very tall and we were just on a little road around the outside. It must have been about 100 meters straight up. The road we were driving on was right on the edge of the water, if you slipped off there was no sand, it went straight down into the clear sea. It kinda looked something like atlantis, the water was crystal clear and I could see other small submerged islands and roads. We drove around the island and on the oposite side there was a steep incline. We drove right up and were ontop of the island. There were ancient ruins up there, similar to the ones in oblivion. I didnt look at these that much and went over to the edge. It was just me now and for some reason I climbed down a ladder going straight off the edge. The ladder went right to the bottom of the island and it was made of sticks and rope, not very sturdy! Once I had gone down a few steps there was a small closed off platform above me. I couldnt climb back up. It was a long way down so I started investigating the platform. It had two small trapdoor parts. I fiddled around for what seemed like ages and finaly opened the first piece. I needed to open the second piece to have enough room to fit out though. Once I got that I tried pulling myself up. It proved to be a lot harder than it looked. The opening was only just big enough for me to get out and the pieces of wood were starting to break all around me. Im quites scared of heights but for some reason wasnt very scared. Like in the back of my head I knew it was a dream. Finaly I thought it would be better to jump rather than wait for the sticks to break. I jumped from the top and tried to land in the water. I landed half in the water and half on the edge of the island. I was completly fine. The I realised I must be dreaming! I looked at my hand and sprouted out an extra pinky finger and started rubbing my hands together. I knew the spell I wanted to try. I wanted to try binding a sword like in oblivion but I wanted to bind the sword of a character Drizzt Do'Urden Iv been reading about. I called out Bound Drizzt's scimitar! I did the same movement you do in Oblivion when you perform a spell and the sword slowly revealed itself in my hand. I was so stoaked it worked perfectly!!! Iv bween able to spawn things out of my vision but never right infront of my eyes! I then called out bound Daedric armor! I accidentaly closed my eyes. I kept them closed for a moment and felt the armor form over my body. I thought it would be fine and slowly opened my eyes but was back in my room

Wow, a lucid dream inside of a non lucid dream! Cool! Actually it was a shared dream. There were malevolent spirits of some kind that would come and force people into nightmares. People in the same room put under by the same spirit shared the nightmare. They weren't random nightmares. The spirits were trying to communicate something. I don't know what.

During one of these nightmares I held onto the understanding that I was dreaming. There was a woman in great emotional agony and I wanted toh elp her. I made a gun appear in my hand and I shot her to wake her up. Somehow this gave everyone the power to leave the dream.

I woke up to dream layer one. There was a large group of people; a class, I guess. Apparently the teacher had told the class that once we finally escape the nightmares we'll have a party. I was supposed to have brought dessert but I had nothing with me. I ran downstairs to the food court to find dessert. Meanwhile irl there's a construction crew outside. I encorporated their racket into my dream by interpreting it as the sound of a blender in the food court. Shortly thereafter I woke up for real.

Beatles in prison!
I was a security guard for my current building, but the building itself held a much different purpose. In the basement, we were holding the Hamburg-age Beatles prisoner. Not entirely sure why... I concocted a plan to get them out so they wouldn't miss their gigs.

By the time I started the dream, I had already done my part to get them out. Nobody had noticed they were even gone. I was patrolling the basement and came to the north stairwell, where I encountered their instruments. Ohhh shit! Susanna (RL friend of mine) fell through!! Getting the instruments to them was her responsibility!

I started trying to make phone calls, contacting people who could help me get them their instruments, but no luck. I tried to phone Paul, to let him know what happened, and the owner of the building answered. My employer. I sincerely hope he doesn't have me on call ID.

"I'm sorry, who's this?" I say, trying to disguise my voice.

"Marissa Hampton," the voice says, impatiently. She either doesn't know, or she isn't letting it on...

"I'm trying to reach Paul, I thought this was his phone number!" I continued.

"Well, he's indisposed of at the moment," she said and hung up on me. I think I'm in the clear!

There's this odd little bit where I hear someone coming into the basement. I hear a woman's voice, so I hide under the sinks in the men's washroom. She comes into the men's room though, to use the toilet She sees me when she's done, and I made some stupid comment about fancying hiding underneath washroom sinks. She says she won't tell anyone.

Paul and the lads finally returned, and I greeted them remorsefully about their instruments. Paul assured me it was okay, they actually didn't need them today.

Woke up here to WILD, but it failed because I'm a wuss. No, seriously, I kept breaking SP because it was making me all achy and itchy. I need to man up for my next attempt

The Dream WILD - Lucid - 3/5
I'm in a dorm with a bunch of people. Nola, from my radio job is acting VERY kooky. Slightly insane. Can't recall what she was saying, but she was keeping everyone awake. I remember guiding her back to her bed and saying, "It's time to sleep now, Nola!"

"Okay, Serenity!"

I crawled back into my bed. I was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "Everyone has their dream partners for tonight?"

"Yesssss," a grumbling mumble answers me.

"Good," I say.

I close my eyes and I picture the hallway of a house. Almost immediately, the image surrounds me in 3D. "Holy crap!" I thought. "That surprised me! Wow, it's all 3D and pretty solid already. I know I'm dreaming. I don't remember a gap in consciousness. I think I finally WILD'ed!" I was overjoyed, but I kept my cool. I started carefully exploring the house, by walking down the stairs. I saw Darren approach me and I thought, "I should stabilize before anything starts to happen." I rubbed my hands together, and the dream dissolved.

When I woke up, I realized I just had a WILD within a ND. That was a very cool experience! I wonder... is that what a visual transition should look like, when I get there? You think of something, and it kind of just whooshes around you into 3D? Anyways, I tried to fall back to sleep and chained back into the house from my dream WILD.

It wasn't as solid this time. I was standing in the living room, that overlooked another level to the house. It was like this second-level living room was my and Darren's personal space of the house. However, the room next to me was an open-plan kitchen (no separating walls to distinguish the rooms) and my parents were making breakfast. Dream dissolved.

Not Our House Anymore

I'm in this really nice home. I look around and see that there are two kitchens. This makes me really happy because apparently Andrea and I are moving in with other people and now we can have separate kitchens.

Next thing I know, the other people we're living with are getting really shitty with me and tell me that I have to move my car out of the backyard. Andrea gets upset about this, but I tell her, it's ok, she sold the house to them and they make the rules now.

I got out to move the car and there's a huge snake coming after me! He chases me into the street and I can't remember anything after that except that I went back into the house and chased the new owner around the kitchen smashing her fingers into the floor with a coffee mug.

Semi-Lucid Lost Ring Saga

So we know that I'm still "whatever" about my lost ring. Well, I'm in a house that I think someone is showing me to see if I want to buy it. I feel like the house is familiar and that I've seen it in another dream. I realize I'm dreaming and run into the backyard and start looking in this pile of dirt for my ring because I'm convinced that this is where it is. I say I was only semi-lucid because that's not where my ring was, so I don't know why I would be looking for it in a pile of dirt.

Then I lose lucidity and I'm in a car passing by a train that's lit up like it's a Christmas decoration. Then we get out of the car and I'm walking down a dirt path and there are hills of dirt with huge neon signs on them. Someone tells me not to touch them because the lightning activates them and it's about to storm. (???)

Two Backpacks

I'm in a classroom at my old high school. There is a girl sitting next to me playing on a laptop. She turns around her laptop to show me her facebook page. She asks me if I know Shane (from the L Word) and if she's my friend on facebook.

I guess a bell rang because everyone is getting up to leave. I have two backpacks and I'm trying to figure out how to put them both on. I'm walking awkwardly with these two backpacks trying to get to a classroom. It dawns on me that I am a teacher in a new school and no one has told me what classroom I need to be in. I'm starting to panic while I'm walking around. It's a campus style high school and I'm outside walking on sidewalks in front of all the classrooms with students in them... with these two backpacks. Suddenly it dawns on me that I'm not a teacher yet and why do I have these two backpacks? I gain lucidity for a split second when Andrea rolls over and wakes me up.

Fucking at a Restaurant

I'm sitting at a large C-shaped table at a nice restaurant with a bunch of girls. I can see outside above the heads of the people directly across from me and it's nice outside. Everyone is eating soup and talking. Then the girl sitting next to me makes a gesture for me to follow her somewhere. I think we may have ended up in the bathroom at the restaurant and we are having wild and crazy sex! I don't think I've ever had as awesome a sex dream with a girl before. It was like porn, but I was the star. Awesome.

Some Lucids

I have been really busy in the past couple of weeks, but I've been lucid three times! Not for very long, but it still counts for me!

I was in a mall in a store and I walked up a flight of stairs. At the top of the stairs was a baby gate or a pet gate. It was hard for me to get over because I'm short and I didn't want to knock it down. Then out of nowhere I just said to myself... don't go over it, just go through it. I closed my eyes and when I opened them I was on the other side. I was totally amazed and lost lucidity.

I was in a middle school. I know it was a middle school because of the ages of all the kids. I said to myself, I'm not in middle school and became lucid. I remembered the task of the month subconsciously and walked up to one boy sitting at a lunch table and tried to kiss him. He got all freaked out and ducked away from me and ran away. Then I realized that I might lose lucidity, so I started patting myself down which is something I've never done while lucid... but it didn't work and I lost it. (Maybe next time I'll just rub my hands together!)

Last night I dreamed I was in high school, which I know I'm not, so I gained lucidity and looked around a bit at all the people in my class. Then I saw my friend Kelly K. who also happens to be my apartment manager. When I turned and saw her, I also saw someone coming up from the back of the room with a big birthday cake (my birthday was Friday) and when they walked up to my desk it said Happy Sweet 16 (I just turned 29). I think I lost lucidity at that point because I don't remember much else.

Seems to me like lucidity is coming more frequently, I just have to learn how to hold onto it for longer!!!

I'm writing this dream very late, and I'm afraid I was dumbass enough to lose most details..but I'll write it down anyway. u_u

So I'm in my NY house, and my mom is all anxious because we have visitors, I find out the visitors are actually the SNT. So this is exciting and I think huzzay, but before I do anything I go to my brother's room and get ready. I distinctly remember putting on eyeliner thickly. I have this whole emo get up, wearing my pea coat and my hairstyle is done in this emo-bangs-esque way plus the black eyeliner. I get frustrated while doing my hair. When I look down, I realize I have a coat on and I think it's a bit excessive slender-man look, so I take it off. It's the summer, after all. I stalk downstairs after this, grabbing my actual DJ for autographs. In the living room I see PK, and he's alone. He doesn't notice me there and I jump from the staircase to right in front of him and yell his full name. He gets shocked and jumps at my blatant freakiness, then sighs a breath of relief. I give him my DJ and try to act normal by asking him to sign it. I ramble a bit in English, and I think, he probably has no idea what I'm saying. Then he says something with a thick accent and it's incomprehensible, but I don't bother asking him to repeat himself. He comes across as a cold creature. He's like, "Why do you want me to sign this book, don't you want my signature on something else?" And the man is right, though it's kind of insulting that he rejected my DJ. In any case I grab my yearbook, and he seems fascinated by it. After looking through my friend's signatures, he signs it. I leave quickly since I do not like him. My mom approaches me and starts bitching about the men outside, who are practicing I think. She's like, "These guys are trying to seduce all the girls with flowers." I find this funny, and think, well too bad there aren't a lot of fangirls around here.

I leave my house and go to this store that has computers and chairs. It looks like a small airport terminal. Some of the guys start coming there, but before they do I'm informed that the place is about to be captured by someone evil and we will all be stuck there. As the guys come in, including Martinez, I yell at them to stay the fuck out or forever hold their peace. But my yelling is pointless, as they cluelessly walk in and the door shuts behind them. I'm sitting by a counter, in a stool right next to the computers. Martinez has sat in the second row of computers (only about 4-5) and I see that the chair next to him is empty. His friend skipped a seat, and I think - well it's me lucky day. So I get up and walk to him and sit down. We introduce ourselves and he knows decent English. I can understand his every word. We discuss the evil person who has kidnapped us here and shit like that. His face is really close and I can see every detail; he's wearing blue. He comes across as a really nice guy and I have that same feeling again, the one from my previous epic dream about him. The funny thing is, as I'm talking to him, I say to myself, "I know this is actually a dream. SAD." But as always, I brush this realization off and continue talking. The dream unfortunately fades as background noise wakes me up. When I woke up, I could remember every single sentence of our conversation. I can never remember dialogue in dreams. Shame I didn't write it down, but a part of me doesn't want to encourage this dream love habit!

PS: sorry for atrocious run-ons.

I am standing in the dairy section of my local grocery store. I turn around and begin walking to check out when I suddenly catch a glimpse of a green chair sitting at the end of the cereal aisle. I stare for a moment. It's not any green chair, it's MY green chair. The one I sit in when I play video games! What's it doing in a grocery store, I wonder? I look over my shoulder. Where the dairy section was is now a bunch of aisles. That can't be right, I thought to myself. Then it hit me. I was dreaming. For the first time, I had caught myself dreaming! I told myself to calm down. I soun around a bit, but my environment kept morphing, like some twisted grocery store maze. I finally decide that this is as clear as it will get, and I might as well summon something. I think to myself, "around the next corner will be someone I know." I turned the corner, and there was a friend from school. She asked me what I was doing here. I didn't know what to say, so I turned and ran, willing someone else who I knew better to appear. ended up in a furniture aisle with a flickering image of my ex-girlfriend. I finally realized that I needed to get out of that grocery store. I convinced myself that the next door I walked through would lead me into my bedroom. I did just that, successfully. I laid down on my bed to get my bearings, and the dream slowly ended.

Mysterious Leaves

I was in Masterton at my families house. I looked at a tree and the leaves were amazing. Somehow they formed words. I realised I must be dreaming. I dont remember what the leaves said but it was about dreaming or lucid dreaming. I think I lost lucidity as I didnt do an RC


The Chase is On!

I was outisde and it was dark, I had a little dog with me running around the place. I saw an opening to a crypt or something. The opening was made of old grey bricks and wasnt very big, only about up to my knees and about a meter wide. I told the dog to go check it out and he ran straight in. All of a sudden a flaming arrow or flare shot into the dirt beside me! I turned around and saw two black figures in the darkness with two large dogs. The started running my way. I was a bit higher up than them on the side of a hill so I sprinted off. I didnt know how I would make it away from the dogs so I jumped off a ledge and landed in a bush. When I had jumped the bush looked very big, easily enough to hide me but when I landed it changed to more of a small rose bush kinda shape which would have left me EASILY spotted! The guys were already right behind me though so I stayed dead still. Two or three dogs ran straight past me nearly knocking me over. I could see the two guys looking around just meters away from me and then I realised I must be dreaming! I stood up and turned my back to them all ignoring them completely. I took a few steps and sprouted an extra pinky out of my hand like usual. I didnt know what to do so started gliding into the air and woke up.

Damn I need to start stabilizing more often!!! Its not like im getting excited when I become lucid either, it seems im having more trouble keeping lucid than when I started 6 months ago!! I am getting them a lot more often now though.

Note: When I fell asleep this night I was feeling rather crappy, even though I haven't been depressed much recently, I found myself feeling quite depressed last night. I had two main goals, to meet up with MoSh and view a past dream of his and to try to find Blake in a dream. With these things in mind I fell asleep and slipped into a WILD…

I was in the front yard of MoSh's inner world home, which is where I am completely used to being. I still didn't feel very good, I felt like I was all alone even though I logically knew that wasn't true. But logic doesn't often do a lot of good when emotions are involved… I was feeling hesitant to even go into MoSh's place, my feelings of isolation threatening to make me put up a wall to keep everyone away. I knew that would be a bad idea, so I forced myself to go right up to MoSh's front door and knock. The door was answered right away, MoSh was there and he looked happy to see me, which alleviated any remaining feelings that I might not be welcome there. I went inside quickly, MoSh closed the door behind me. MoSh was saying something to me, but I wasn't really hearing what he was saying because even though I felt assured that I was welcome here, I still felt depressed.

"MoSh…" I said, interrupting him, he stopped talking and looked over at me, seeming to notice for the first time that I was upset. He asked what was wrong, I simply replied that I wasn't feeling very well right now, in fact I was feeling quite depressed, and I needed a hug. A small part of me in the back of my mind told me I was a fool to say that, it said MoSh wasn't interested in whether or not I needed a hug, but that part of my mind had no choice but to shut up when MoSh put his arms around me and gave me the hug I had been needing. I hugged MoSh back, and just that made me feel considerably better… MoSh asked what was wrong, he asked if I knew what was causing my depression since he thought I had been doing a lot better lately. I told him I had been doing a lot better, but there will still be occasions where I feel depressed, and it had chosen an unfortunate night to happen. I explained that I had been feeling somewhat depressed yesterday evening, and then it turned out there was no one to talk to… Nomad was too busy with homework to spare even a few minutes, Tigress had chosen to watch movies all day, and there was no one else online... so I had ended up feeling lonely, on top of being depressed…

MoSh gave me another hug, and I was feeling a lot better now… MoSh asked if I felt well enough to go view his past dreams, I said sure I did. I thanked MoSh for listening and for being a good friend, and I was ready to go whenever he was ready. MoSh said he was glad he could help. We went into his living room and sat down on the couch, Data was right there, too. He said he had the first dream pulled up and ready to display. He announced that the dream about to be viewed was dreamt by MoSh on the night of December 2nd, 2009. Apparently I didn't need my laptop to generate a holographic view of past dreams, as the hologram formed around MoSh and me right as Data finished announcing the date of the dream.

I looked around our new surroundings in time to see a portal open, MoSh and Asuka came through it, and then the portal closed behind them. It was night time outside now, and the two of them walked into a cathedral of some kind. The hologram followed MoSh and Asuka into the cathedral, where they walked down a familiar looking hallway and into a music room, where there was some piano music coming from that room, there was a man sitting at the piano playing wonderfully, then he hit a sour note, hit the keyboard, and let out a stream of what I figured must be expletives in a foreign language. He fiddled around with the music in front of him for a bit, then returned to playing beautifully. MoSh took Asuka over to the man, introduced them to each other, introducing the man to Asuka as Johann Sebastian Bach.

Bach got up from the piano and greeted Asuka in a polite manner, he greeted MoSh as he would greet an old friend coming to visit, asking him about some sheet music he had apparently given MoSh on a previous visit. Bach played the piano a bit more, hit another sour note, cursed a bit more, then looked back over at MoSh. He said he was having problems with the end of one of his pieces, no matter what he tried it didn't sound quite right. MoSh looked at the sheet music and played a few notes on his guitar, hit a sour note in the same place Bach had been hitting his sour notes… Bach said that was the same problem he had been having. MoSh played with it a bit longer, and four sour notes later it came out sounding wonderful. Bach was thrilled. He said that was it! The song was complete.

Asuka had wandered off a bit, she was looking at the various architecture of the cathedral and seeming to like what she saw even though a lot of it was quite old and dusty… When she heard MoSh and Bach sounding happy she returned to them and asked if they had figured out the problem. They said they had, and MoSh said he wanted to play for Asuka, he wanted to jam with Bach. Bach agreed to that, and they started playing a song I didn't recognize, although there are very few songs by Bach that I would recognize… But recognize it or not, I could not deny the fact it sounded totally awesome. It occurred to me that it would be awesome if I could reproduce this on my electronic keyboard, and then since I know I am not very skilled, maybe MoSh could listen to the song and play it on his electric guitar, which would certainly sound much better than anything I can do. Since I had that idea, I focused on listening to the music, on hearing each and every note they were playing, and while I found the music immensely enjoyable, I had doubts in my ability to even vaguely reproduce it IWL.

After that song was done, Asuka had clearly enjoyed the music, she was clapping and threw a couple of flowers towards MoSh and Bach, then she looked like she got an idea. She went over to Bach, motioned to the piano, and asked if he minded if she tried something. He told her to go ahead. She played a few notes that sounded ethereal, and a flower bloomed to the right of the piano's front right leg… right out of the floor! Bach stared at that in amazement, MoSh didn't seem to find it that odd, but as Asuka kept playing, more of the flowers grew. Bach wanted to know how she did that, she spoke with Bach for a time about the energy of music and getting specific energy frequencies with the right combination of notes, which Bach clearly understood if only by instinct because his compositions had a powerful energy to them… So after a bit more of that, Bach and MoSh played another song, and more flowers sprouted from the floor, making the dingy room seem a lot brighter. Bach thought that was really something, and set to writing more of this music down to paper. MoSh looked at one of the pieces Bach had lying on a table, Bach said he could borrow it if it interested him, one musician to another… MoSh thanked him and picked up the papers, then disappeared. Bach looked surprised, but then realized MoSh must have woken up, he commented that dreamers can come and go so quickly. Asuka said she hoped he remembered…

I heard Data's voice say he had the next dream prepared, but I was feeling like I might lose the dream. I told Data to let me do a time dilation before we went to the next dream, so the hologram shut down and left MoSh and me in his living room in front of Data. I was focusing on Allura's method of time dilation, I barely noticed when there was a knock… or more like a scratching… at the door and Asuka opened it. I was focusing on compressing more time into less space when I was startled out of my focus by a fox! It was a cute fox! The fox jumped into my arms and seemed to want to be petted, which I did, but I still had to dilate time. I tried to start my time dilation over, but I didn't get it done in time and everything around me faded and I woke.
