lucid

WHOOOOO! i WILDed on my first try! well, technically my first try, i had tried to WILD several times before going to bed, but they were all doomed to fail so they don't count. i woke up at 8, took the dogs out, then went back to bed and tried to WILD. i tried on my left side, back and right, finally settling on my right side. i waited a while, and i had this extreme uncomfortable feeling, like i really wanted to move. i didn't realize it till afterwards that it was my body testing to see if i was awake. unfortunately, i don't remember actually going into the dream, i forgot the beginning, which was probably a minute or two. i do remember cars, and a road though. where it does begin however, the detail was amazing. it was the most clear and realistic lucid ive ever had, i didn't loose lucidity once. it "starts" on a busy street, im standing behind this SUV, and i was gonna try something. in real life, ive always wanted to ride on the roof of a car, holding onto the rails where you attach the bikes lol.
it kinda looked like this:

maybe a darker green. anyway, i wanted to lay on the roof, and ride it lol. but in the background was a enormus city, like a futuristic city, it was really far away, almost fading into the atmosphere. i started to fly, i was either gonna fly to the city, or fly up into space, but i thought to myself "nahh, i fly all the time" and landed. i then grabbed the rails of the SUV, as soon as it started going. for some reason, my feet just kinda dragged behind me, i never got to ride on top. then it turned into this parking lot outside a building, and my feet stayed where they were, but i kept going. it was weird, like my legs were stretchy or something. after that, i got off, and remembered my ultimate goal: to find my dream guide. so i went inside, it was like a Chinese place, i think it was like a nail salon or something, it had very dim lighting. i saw a DC and decided to ask her where my dream guide was, i think she was an employee or owner. this was how the conversation went:
Me: "hey, you wouldn't happen to know where my dream guide is would you?"
Her: "whats a dream guide?"
Me: "well, it's kinda your subconscious, like in a DC"
she then said something like "well, your subconscious is a very complicated place, you could find her anywhere..." i think she said more, but i don't remember. then this blonde woman walked past me, i walked up to her and asked "you're probably not my dream guide. are you?" she said "no", to my disappointment. so then i followed her upstairs, and did some other "stuff", not gonna go into detail on that . i then woke up, but i stayed still, and then after about 10 seconds, my body started vibrating, and started to DEILD. my eyes were closed, but i could see my window. there was a lot of trees outside my window, with oval shaped leaves, right outside my window, which don't exist in real life. i was trying to decide if i recognized those types of leaves, not even thinking about the trees themselves lol. i sat up, almost deciding that it was a dream. then the damn phone rang. my parents have the phones set up so that they can ring the one outside my bedroom whenever they want me to come here. it rang in the dream and i immediately sprung up and ran downstairs. i found my mom standing in the office, telling me to start mowing the grass near the pantry. i was confused, i visualized my backyard, and estimated where the pantry would be. my mom asked "are you ok?" i think i said yes, not sure. i then woke up for real, and kicked myself for not becoming lucid. thats all i remember.

Copy of another post.


I'm in an urban environment in what seems to be modern times. Most of what happens is near or in a large, mostly square-shaped one-story building with a large parking lot extending in all directions. For some reason, the square's northwest corner is beveled.

I remember walking through the building. It is designed like a school; hallways with rooms branching off of it. I seem to be holding an orange pistol that is similar to the real-life toy Guncon 2. I carefully approach the northern exit through an internal hallway. It's afternoon. I exit the building and see a road perpendicular to me. A car/SUV pulls up to me from the left. The window rolls down, and in the car is a woman driving. In the right back seat is a man, which seems to be the woman's father, and in the left back seat seems to be the man's wife. I walk up to the window.

The driver woman starts saying something to me; I ask her why she's here. The only thing I make out of the response is "...because I can." Meanwhile, a small boy has entered the scene, and the man is out of the car on foot, saying something to the boy. I notice the boy is crying/yelling, and I think the man is the reason, so I confront him and scorn him for upsetting the child. We start arguing. Meanwhile, the car and its passengers disappears. The man, the child, and I start walking counter-clockwise around the building, still arguing about how to treat the child. We reach the west side and enter the building, talking but not really arguing anymore.

While we head through the building (the lights are dim but the interior isn't too dark), we pass through a medium-sized room with a bunch of people in rows sitting in white chairs watching something. We exit the building; the child disappears. (Small lapse in memory) I'm in the parking lot near the building, and there's a car with the man driving and some people, perhaps the ones I saw earlier, in the back. I open the passenger door, and halfway step inside before, for some random reason, I think of the movie Inception.

Suddenly, I realize that I am dreaming.

I sit down in the passenger's seat but think to myself I must stabilize (as I have read about stabilization on this site before). The dream seems to pause while I say, "Stay calm, stay calm" and look at my hands. Strangely, nothing seems blurry or out of focus. When I'm happy, time seems to starts again and we drive off to somewhere. (Small lapse in memory)

It's nighttime now. We approach a building, seemingly the same building as before, but this time there are guards, guard towers/checkpoints, and cameras. For some reason, our objective is to enter the building. We start to plan after our driver pulls into a spot in the parking lot. I suggest that we approach under the cover of darkness, but the moon illuminates the lot. At this point, I wished that my gun had a silencer. I continue by attempting to put out the moon. First, I try licking my finger, bringing it up in front of me, and "rubbing" out the moon. It doesn't work. So instead, I turn around, make some pushing motions and say, "Moon, go away", and turn back around. It's very dark now; my efforts seem to have been successful. I then assert we need night vision goggles, so I imagine a box with 4 NVGs in it, and reach down to get it. It's there, and we take the NVGs.

We step out of the vehicle and start advancing through the parking lot. I notice my "gun" has a silencer on it now. There are a lot of guards, but they don't seem to notice us. Between two cars is a guard loading something. I do some kind of jumping maneuver to the left of him and am about to kill him when my alarm clock wakes me up into a false awakening.

I then wake up again to reality.

I''l put the dreams from the last 2 nights in the same entry

8/9

can't remember why but I looked at my left hand and I had too many fingers, failed a nose RC then checked my hand again - still manky, became lucid. Was in a room which was supposed to be my parents it was very dark. I touched the cupbords and whatever else I could reach to stabilize the dream, it worked. I left the room and was in G's house I walked to the playroom but didn't see anyone, I walked back towards G's room to see if B was there as I approached the room the dream faded.

Later that night I had a non-lucid dream in the same house, this time there were lots of DC's including a beautiful woman who was totally into me. I felt like I was cheating by being with here and tried to hide what we were up to. We kissed in the playroom and them made plans to meet in G's bedroom, she wanted me to stay another day but I said no. I went through the kitchen on the way to G's room and B was making breakfast in the kitchen. Eventually I'm in G's room with the woman and we have sex, B is there and she is giving me instructions - LOL

Nap: I'm travelling in Africa and am in charge of some teams, Dad and me split the teams mixing them. S was there.

9/9

We're visiting houses from a news story? We go into a house that I know in the dream world it is a very poor area, the house has yellow and blue walls. We're invited to sit down and I notice 2 of those buzzy magnet things on a table. I remember someone mentioning them in the inception totem thread and realize im dreaming. Do a hand RC and fail but know I'm dreaming so I do a nose RC and I can breathe. I touch some things to stabilize and walk toward the kitchen where the old lady host went. As I get to the kitchen I start loosing the dream, in desperation I close my eyes and spin and fall, I get up in the living room again and head toward the kitchen the dream fades again this time I can't stabilize it .

Later I'm fetching L from school but the building is different as I get to the gate I realize this is a dream, I RC and become Lucid. I touch the gate to stabilize. I go into the classroom but there are no DC's. I decide to walk through the door to transition to somewhere else, I walk through the door without opening it and simply am outside the school. K is sitting outside and I decide to see what kissing feels like. I put my hands through here hair to help stabilize and kiss her. It feels ok - not amazing. I loose the dream - probably because I closed my eyes.

I lie dead still after waking and slide back into the dream, this time I'm fetching P. I'm lucid from the beginning but loose the dream waking up after a few seconds .

fragments: Africa again, S is there, Trip to Russian or Turkey?

I was starting to get worried about not having another LD since my first. Then 2 nights ago I had one and last night I had 3!!!! Two were DILD's (MILD) and one was a DEILD (WILD). I'll update this post later today when I get home just wanted to share the excitement.

I am progressing like hell. Wow, last night I was having 4 vivid LDs, hats off to you, me…Keep it UP

Started sleeping as usual, MILD manthra and usual half a dozen of relaxation techniques attempts.

1. Walking from the street to my apartment, I saw something written on my door, it was DOWR. I realized it was a dream sign. Did my RC by jumping up and slowly landing down. I touched everything in my space, switched on the TV which started fan. I wanted to reinforce my ability to LD by meditating. Sat down in a couch and started meditated. I felt myself sinking into ‘THETA’ state where I heard a billion people chanting the word ‘THETA MASTER’. While this state was deepened, I could only find myself lying face down on my bed 
2. I mentally thought of going back to the previous dream and found that I am back. Followed by an RC, I went out. By the time, I have forgotten my meditation. I wanted to have some fun with a beautiful girl in my office. I called her name aloud. I felt that she is waiting for me in the near car park and decided to go there and meet her. There I found her in three. Yes, she was three. I asked them “who is you?”. They are replied “I am me” with the same beautiful smile. I got angry and felt may miss this LD. So I revolved around and found that I could not stop it! Frustrated, found me back in bed in the same pos
3. I felt SP, opened my mouth as separated from my body. I saw one horrible thing in front of me. A ghost of my old demised friend. He told me that he wanted to take me with him. I regained the control and challenged him. I hugged him close and imagined that all the force in him is flowing into me. He converted into a teenage girl. She was speaking a foreign language. But for the activities followed was beyond any language.
4. I am a little bit embarrassed to describe this part of my dream. After separating from body, applied RC and stabilization techniques. I turned back to my physical body and wanted to see my p#$^s. I undressed my body, but found resistance from my body. At last, I uncovered it and offered a BJ. At that moment the bodies were reversed. I felt back in my body but the BJ and sensations continued. It was executed by a dark demon. Slipped into a normal dream and sleep.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was in an airport with my mother, we were in a hurry to catch a plane before it left. I wanted to stop and get something to drink, but there wasn't time for that. I finally found a restaurant with a fridge out front with some drinks in it and another case used to keep hamburgers hot, I realized it was a McDonald's. I was thinking it would be awfully easy to grab something without paying and walk off, since the cases kept me concealed from the restaurant employees. I snagged a coke and tried for a burger, but that case was locked. I looked back at the soda side and that was looked, too, now. I figured I had just lucked out that someone before me hadn't closed the soda cooler tight enough to make it lock, my mom didn't seem to care that I'd jacked a soda, she just wanted me to hurry.

I hurried after my mother down a couple more halls and we got onto the plane just as the gate was about to close, I took my seat by the window and my mother sat beside me. She was clearly relieved to have made it in time to catch the plane before it left. I was trying to think where we were going, I couldn't think of where that might be, and that seemed really weird to me. It led me to do a nose pinch reality check, and I could still breathe, so I must be dreaming!

I told my mother that I didn't need to be on the plane since I could fly without one, and I phased through the side of the plane and out into the open air where I could fly. I flew on into the city, which was clearly not my home town, there were more tall skyscrapers than in my home town. I flew around and between the buildings, I saw there were power lines connecting the buildings and got another idea. I jumped onto one of the lines and slid along it, in the video game Infamous it was called grinding, and I thought I could use electrical powers like Cole. But what were my goals? I couldn't think of any particular goals I had, so I hopped onto the next power line and slid along that one, sparks flying behind me as I picked up speed.

I finally landed on the top of a building and looked around, wondering if there was anything else I could do in this dream. I was rather frustrated that I couldn't remember any specific goals, that so far I had only run around having fun during this dream, but maybe a fun dream every now and then is a good thing. I was about to head for some more power lines when I saw a strange cloaked man climb from a stairwell in the building I was on, he was holding a black gem that I could sense had a lot of negative energy in it. He glanced around a bit, then threw an energy ball at me before running and jumping to the next building. He was surprisingly fast, there was no way I would keep up with him on foot, but I somehow knew that him having that gem was bad. I jumped on one of the power lines and slid along them much faster than I could ever have run, intercepting the man as his path crossed mine again, throwing balls of lightning at him. That seemed to take him by surprise, I don't think he expected anyone around there to have any kind of powers, and my first attacks hit him before he was able to jump out of the way of the rest. I landed right beside him and summoned a bolt of lightning down on top of him. He fell to the ground, sparking, and didn't move.

I went over to the body and kicked it a couple of times, there was no way he could be dead yet, was there? I found the dark gem on the man and it was filled with dark energy, a nice thing for me to find, it was just disappointing how weak the man had been. I wondered if the idiot had thought he could control the dark energy or it he had been retrieving it for someone else, my next thought was that he was so weak he couldn't control his own bladder let alone dark energy. I wondered if there was anything else to do there, I was absently draining some dark energy from the shard into myself even though I didn't really need it, but it felt good, coming straight from the gem it felt stable. I was trying again to think of my goals when everything faded and I woke.

I opened a portal back to the biodome, to the location beside the koi pond, figuring I would check there again before moving on to my next goal.

I wasn't sure how much of the dream I had left, so I thought I had better extend the dream before it was too late. I focused on using Allura's method of time dilation, condensed the time on the clock in my mind's eye. I didn't notice much of a change, not really anything I could clearly identify, i thought maybe that was because I hadn't been losing the dream when I did it. With that done it was time to figure out what to do next.

I waited for a short time at the koi pond, but no one showed up, and then I thought it was time to continue to my next goal, which was to share an Oblivion dream with Tigress. As we had agreed upon earlier, I opened a portal while focusing on getting to the battle arena in Imperial City, Tamriel. A portal opened and I went through it, wondering If Tigress would be waiting for me on the other side or if I might just go ahead and have an Oblivion dream on my own if she wasn't. As I emerged into Imperial City I saw that I needn't have worried about it. I spotted Tigress right away… picking the lock on the chest containing the money from people's wagers? What did she want with money? I also spotted a guard heading our direction, he would surely see her. While I had no doubt that she could handle anything the guards could bring, I didn't really want to waste the whole dream fighting off stupid Imperial guards instead of looking for an Oblivion gate to close. So I went over to the guard and asked him a typical Oblivion type question, what was going on lately. He asked if I had been living under a rock, everyone was worried about the Oblivion gate that had opened up right in front of the city. He said it was just a matter of time before the daedra came through and attacked… Tigress came over to us and said she had heard about the Oblivion gate, and we were going to close it. The guard laughed and said if it was that easy the guard would have already done it.

So Tigress and I ignored the guard laughing and headed towards the front of the city, towards the main entrance. There were guards there, and they didn't want to let us leave, they said it wasn't safe out there due to the Oblivion gate being so close to the city, so no one was being allowed to enter or leave. Tigress and I just headed for another of the exits, that one was guarded, too, it looked like they had sealed the entire city off. This wasn't a problem, Tigress and I just climbed up the side of one of the buildings, we didn't really want to start flying from the ground where it might be noticed, and then we flew over the walls to the city and landed outside.

There was no wondering where the Oblivion gate was, the eerie red light and the wilted and dying foliage clearly indicated where the gate could be found. We followed the light from that, I saw some daedra out in the distance, the Flame Atronach were clearly seen against the darker landscape, but they didn't seem to have seen us. Before long Tigress and I found ourselves at the base of a massive Oblivion gate. There were several scamps milling around, they didn't even know what had hit them before they were dead. I had my Witchblade sword. Without any hesitation we went right into the Oblivion gate, leaving Tamriel behind.

On the other side of the gate was the planes of Oblivion, which look just like I remember seeing them in the video games, although the layout of things was a bit different. There were three primary towers that were situated around the Oblivion gate, and there was a beam of energy coming from the top of each tower and feeding into the Oblivion gate. I wondered if all of those had to be stopped in order to close the gate, or would getting rid of one of them set the gate off balance and force it to close? There wasn't a lot of time to consider that, Tigress and I were attacked by more daedra, this time it was a group of Flame Atronach around us, throwing fireballs at us, Tigress and I quickly dispatched the enemies with our swords, then we headed for the nearest tower.

The interior of the tower also looked familiar, there was a winding stairway going up the tower, then there was a pillar in the middle where I could see numerous daedra stationed there to watch the stairway up. Those were sitting ducks for Tigress, she picked them off one by one with her arrows perfectly hitting their mark, piercing the necks of the daedra for the instant kill. I went ahead of Tigress, so the daedra were noticing me first, and I was fighting the ones that were actually on the stairway, I found a key on one of them that I knew we would eventually need. We made our way to the top of the tower where we found a cage with a man in it, the man was very badly burned, and when I looked closer I saw he was already dead. There was a hole in the ceiliing with a glowing light visible through it. There were also doors at both sides of the room, I checked the one closest to us and found it was locked. Sure enough, the key I had gotten off of the daedra fit the lock and the door swung open… to reveal an ambush of daedra summoners, and they summoned an ambush of scamps, and soon we found we were completely surrounded. Time to fight, run my sword through a scamp, behead a daedra summoner, slice a daedra summoner open from his left shoulder to his right hip, hit another daedra summoner with a bolt of lightning as I ran my sword through another scamp… Tigress and I fought our way through the room, killing all of the daedra in our path.

Tigress and I exited through the far side and went up another ramp to the top chamber of the tower. Reaching the top of the tower proved to be actually rather anti-climatic, there weren't even more of the usual daedra enemies let alone something that would qualify as a boss. The sigil stone was there, however, and there was a beam of energy shooting out of one of the windows towards the Oblivion gate down below. Tigress reached over and grasped the sigil stone, pulling it out of its place. The beam of energy to the Oblivion gate ceased, but the other two remained, seeming to be unaffected. I was looking at the energy from the Oblivion gate when it started going unstable, but before I could say anything about it Tigress had already spoken, saying the gate was going to explode if the other beams weren't stopped. That could either successfully close the gate or it might blast a permanent hole in the dimensional fabric and give the daedra a permanent access to Tamriel. So to make sure it didn't lead to that, I flew towards one of the other towers while Tigress flew towards the other one.

I reached the tower rather quickly by flying, entering through the same opening the energy beam was coming out of. The daedra must have seen me flying towards the tower, as there were a bunch of them in the top chamber waiting for me. I didn't want to take the time for all of them, however, the gate was getting more unstable all the time, so I used Enter Sandman in the room, the spiral pulled all of the daedra into it and then exploded, destroying the daedra in a large blast of dark and light flames. I hurried in and grabbed the sigil stone, causing the stream of energy from it to cease. I looked out of the tower at the Oblivion gate just in time to see the other beam also cease, and now the gate collapsed. I wondered if this gate wasn't so nice as to deposit people from Tamriel back in Tamriel, not that it would be a problem for Tigress and me, but it could be annoying for anyone trying to fight the daedra… A wave of energy came from the gate and washed over everything, a blinding light, and then Tigress and I were both in mid air… but for some reason we lowered to the ground slowly and landed gently on the ground. Nothing was left of the Oblivion gate but a hole in the ground, and I could see a lot of amazed Imperial guards standing around staring at us. I was going to say something to Tigress, but she disappeared. My time to go, too. I opened a portal back to the koi pond, not sure how much longer the dream would last, I just didn't want to try to explain things to the guards. I got back in time to take one more look to see if anyone was waiting for me at the koi pond before I woke.

Note: The only real plans I had this night was to meet up with Tigress for an Oblivion dream, although I still have continuing plans that have to do with the TotY and MoSh meeting up with don Juan, who says he wants to have continuing dreams with MoSh until MoSh can get the memories of the dream on his own rather than through me. He seems to think that is important. So with these things in mind I fell asleep with my light / sound machine on and slipped into a WILD…

I found myself starting this dream in the biodome by the koi pond. I wondered if there might be someone meeting me there… I stayed around for a while, looking to see if anyone might show up, but no one came. When I got to the point where I thought I might lose the dream if I continued doing nothing much longer I decided to head off to my next goal, which was to take MoSh to don Juan. I knew I hadn't arranged this with MoSh ahead of time, so I wasn't sure if he would be there, but it wouldn't be any extra trouble to check. I opened a portal and went through it into MoSh's inner world, into the front yard of his house.

When I stepped out of the portal I didn't see any sign of MoSh, but that isn't really that unusual since he's not usually there waiting for me to arrive. I went over to the door to the house and knocked, the door opened almost right away and I saw it was Asuka. She gave me a friendly greeting and said she hadn't been expecting me, thus there were no cookies, I said that was fine. I did some small talk with Asuka such as how is she doing, how are the kids doing, and then I asked her if MoSh was here. She said MoSh wasn't dreaming at the present time, but he could show up at any minute if I wanted to wait for him. I said I would wait for a short time, but if I spent much more of this dream doing basically nothing I was afraid I would lose lucidity or even lose the dream entirely. I didn't have to wait long, however, before MoSh appeared as if from nowhere. I told him he was dreaming and should do a reality check, he just looked at me strangely, then at Asuka. He pinched his nose and said he was not dreaming. I told him that he was, and I had come here to take him to go see don Juan. MoSh looked at me, looking much more interested now, he asked if I knew where don Juan was. I said I could most likely find him pretty easily. I had already told MoSh to do a reality check a couple of times, I didn't figure telling him more would do any good, so I opened a portal with the focus of finding don Juan.

MoSh and I emerged from the portal inside a building, it was pretty dark and I couldn't see much of what it was, but I did see don Juan was there looking at us as we entered. Don Juan looked at me and said he would be seeing me again soon, but this time was for MoSh alone. I was hoping I wasn't in the middle of something urgent when don Juan decided it was a good time to drop by, what if I was on my way to help someone and I was short on time, then instead of my portal tracking that person I ended up with don Juan… then someone got hurt or killed… Don Juan said that's not possible and I know it, since I can be on many planes at the same time. It seemed like he was waiting until I left, so I went through the portal back into MoSh's inner world and it closed behind me. I opened a portal back to the biodome, to the location beside the koi pond, figuring I would check there again before moving on to my next goal.

To be continued in the next post…

08/08/10

I'm part of a story in a familiar seeming place. Everything's happening out of order, events and dialogue added where I think the story needs it. As I wake up, I see the story written out on a word processor.

I wake up. As I fall back asleep, I enter HH. I'm a younger version of Dean Winchester, and there's something I still need to do. I'm still lucid, but I don't want to wake myself up, so I fall into the dream.

***

I'm a giant, fighting a tiny man as we climb up a water tower. I try to kick him off my foot, but he's holding on, trying to stab my toes.

***

I'm in prison. I'm sitting with a group of people, all handcuffed with zip-ties, our hands wound up in green mesh. My mom and dad are there, part of the dozen or so people jammed into the cell, sitting on the wooden benches where there's room.



Despite the lack of space, I'm not crowded on the bench. I'm also pretty much ignoring everyone in the room, now that the guards are gone. I'm concentrating on removing the zip-ties. I think I might have been chewing through them at some point, but with a flourish, I have them off my wrists. I hold onto the mess of plastic for a second, think about pretending I'm still trapped, but I let it fall to the floor. I'll take my chances.

Finally, we get our own cells. All of the doors are open, so I calmly walk over to the cell by the window and sit down on the bed. Originally, we were supposed to be sharing cells, but there aren't any bunk beds. There is no privacy; everything that isn't an outside wall is made of narrow bars, four inches apart. My mom takes the cell beside mine.

Lights out. A guard comes over to check that we're in bed. He stands too close, but I'm not worried. I sense no malevolence in him.

Which is fortunate, for his sake.

The guard shuffles away and I stand up, moving silently in the shadows. The locked door to my cell swings open of its own accord, and I walk, unnoticed, right out of the building.

***

I'm a hunter. Female, with long, curly black hair. I'm interviewing witnesses, trying to figure out what's going on in this town. Someone recognizes me from an earlier hunt, and claims I'm a cop.

***

Two versions of Dean Winchester sit at different tables at a restaurant. One is just barely older than the other. The younger one approaches him.

"You know, I've had a hell of a time since you got the cops after you again."

***



There are two versions of Dean Winchester, but the age difference is exaggerated. One of them is a child, and the other is an old man.

They're at the entrance of an old quanset on a farm, when I see a flash of something happening in the distance. Six plumes of light grey smoke fly from the ground and hurtle toward us.

Sam and Dean, about five and nine at the moment, are outside. A little piece of narration goes off in my head.

They're after the kids. Demons who steal away children that wander off on their own. It's part of the local folklore.

I'm hardly there at all, so the older Dean has to decide who to save: the younger Sam or the younger Dean. Of course he goes after Sam, and I stay inside, waiting, as the demons approach mini-Dean.

When they grab him, when they go hurtling through the air towards their base, I phase through the wall and take off after them.

"Omnipitus omundi patronus," I mutter to myself, sneaking into an old farmhouse. Wait, Patronus?

Just like that, I'm lucid. I smile, and crawl into the small entranceway. Bits of dust flake off of everything I touch, and I find myself crawling as the hallway gets smaller and smaller.

A woman attacks me out of nowhere. By all rights, I shouldn't be able to move in the small hallway I've wedged myself into. I won't consider myself trapped, though. I lash out, grabbing the woman by the jaw and the back of her head, and I twist.

The woman falls to the floor, her neck broken.

The house is normal sized again, and I walk into the bedroom, see the young Dean lie sprawled out over the bed. "Omnipitus omundi patronus," I repeat, but nothing happens. I sigh, and pick the boy up, ready to run him back to his brother and older self.

Claustrophobia. Scare Factor: 2.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

WBTB's. They really do work. I was only out of bed for about two minutes this morning, and flopped back down to sleep right away. I suppose that was enough to get my brain working properly.

The thought of getting up was enough to trigger a "preparation dream". Even though it was Sunday, I dreamt I was on my way to work. I got to the train station in the city centre in a taxi, and realised I was running late. There was a train I had to get, which was leaving in a couple of minutes. I threw my backpack over my shoulder and ran through the automatic doors. As I jogged through the station, I wondered why I felt so dizzy and undsteady. Was I out boozing last night? I couldn't remember. I got to a shiny area of floor and my feet came out from under me. I slid along the floor on my ass, into a plant pot. The people sitting on benches all around gave me disapproving looks.
"Yep, I'm definitely still drunk," I thought to myself.

For some reason, the dizziness got a whole lot worse now I was down on the floor. I tried to drag myself onto a chair, but it was an impossible task. I thought,
"Shit, why is this happening now, somebody's going to call the police on me or something. What a ridiculous situation, it's almost like..."

I looked at my hand. It was chubby and had about nine fingers. "Oh," I smiled. I turned to the disapproving onlookers and gave them the finger. Clarity was restored, along with my motor functions. I stood up and exited by the automatic doors. Walking straight out onto the road, I was immediately hit by a car. It was a big green jeep, and the impact left a huge dent in the bonnet. The driver, a middle-aged, balding man got out and started screaming at me. I flicked him through a shop window with telekenisis and got into the car. I may have eventually lost lucidity through driving around without purpose.

Handless (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID



I had just "woken up" from a lucid dream, in my own bed. I could hear someone coming up the stairs outside my room. I think I dreamt of this because I was expecting visitors this morning. I was unbelievably drowsy. Getting out of bed was like swimming in treacle. There was a knock at my door. I stumbled over, and realised I was naked. This was enough to remind me to reality-check. I looked down at my hand. There was no hand. I saw no forearm or anything. But I could feel that I did indeed have one. I opened my bedroom door with said hand and saw a few of my friends from different places. People who have never met in real life. Some from work, others from my old school, some from elsewhere and my girlfriend- who was the actual visitor I was expecting. I was reminded of the first scene of The Matrix.

Cuz This is Thriller! (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was excited about going to see Inception later, which was probably the reason for the easy DILDs this morning.

I was sitting in the back seat of my dad's car. My dad was sitting beside me. We were driving along a motorway at night, and the road was lit up orange by the streetlights. I glanced into the front of the car and saw that no one was driving! I panicked for a moment, then realised what was going on. Classic dreamsign. The car stopped itself and I stepped out onto the road. My dad had disappeared and I was on my own. Some electronic music started playing and I looked up at the sky. I could see some stars, but it was mainly black. I pointed up and traced my finger across the sky to create a shooting star, which zipped across my field of vision and over the horizon.

I came to a crossroads, and couldn't see anyone in any direction. I felt slightly lonely, so I pondered a way to get some company. I snapped my fingers a few times to create a beat, and Thriller started playing. I began to do the dance- and as I had hoped, a crowd of people appeared from nowhere to back me up. I laughed at the fact that it had actually worked, and kept on dancing.

Later on, I wound up sliding down some sand dunes on a rug. I was going pretty fast, heading for the sea. Right at the point where I hit the water, I realised my phone was still in my pocket. Wet phone, another classic. It crops up more and more these days. I stood up in the knee-deep water, a bit annoyed that my jeans were soaking wet, before levitating up in the air and shaking myself off. I spent a long time flying superman-style between small rocky islands in the shallows, but ended up back on the beach after a while.



Something strange was going on. There were people running back up the sand dunes, trying to get away from some woman. She was short, stout, and had her hair in a bun. She yelled after the people trying to escape, then produced a circular blade from her breast pocket. I realised she was about to throw it at them. As soon as it left her hand, I took control of it with telekinesis. I guided it round in a loop with my finger, like a boomerang, back at the woman. She screamed something unintelligible at me, and I lost control of the blade before it hit her. It stopped in mid-air, and shot off after the people again.
"What the hell are you doing?" I asked her threateningly. She simply glared at me and smiled as the blade sliced a few people up and went after more. I lifted her up by her collar. "Stop the blade, or I swear I'll kill you," I said. A few seconds passed with no reply from her, so I set her back down and ripped off her head with one tug. The body stood swaying, then a single spurt of blood shot out the top of the neck, and it fell backwards. "Warned her, like."

In a later dream, I found myself in a very close recreation of my old house. I think it was the place itself which turned me lucid. I opened the front door with a wave of my hand and stood on the step. It was evening, and a tiny car was driving past. I decided to race it down the street. I took off flying above it, at a fairly decent speed! I was surprised that I was able to fly quickly this time- without employing any real techniques.

"We can't give the Sword of a Thousand Truths to a NOOB!" (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I haven't had a World of Warcraft-based dream in a while! Serenity should like this one.

I was exploring a frozen wilderness with some sort of companion who I cannot now remember. Whoever it was, was female. We were off at the side of a road, peering into a small cave which led underneath the road itself. It was a clear day, but bitterly cold. My companion told me the Lich King was likely to be in the vicinity, and that was the cause of the low temperature. I was a little concerned, but something glinting in a frozen pond just inside the cave caught my attention. I couldn't quite focus on it, even after focefully blinking a few times. I looked at my hand. It was completely fucked. A few fingers were melded into one, and several were missing altogether. Now more confident, I stepped over to the frozen pond to investigate. Beneath the ice was a sword. But not just any sword. I recognised it immediately as the one belonging to the Lich King himself. It was a huge two-hander, and the blade was glowing with a freezing blue aura. I punched though the ice and pulled it out. The handle was unbelievably cold.

I ran out of the cave with it, and found myself on a frozen lake. Then I remembered the last time I had seen this sword. I was watching the opening video for the WoW expansion- Wrath of the Lich King. The Lich King had used it to summon an enormous skeletal dragon. It was a lightbulb moment. I raised the sword high above my head, and thrust it down into the ice. The whole area started to shake, and cracks formed, zigzagging out from the sword. I stepped back cautiously. I'll post a video which basically shows just what happened.


Watch from 1:20

The dragon's head burst through the ice right below where I was standing, which threw me hundreds of metres up in the air. I got that roller coaster falling-feeling that I hate, so I slowed time down a bit to watch the dragon's emergence in slow motion. It clambered out of the ice, and I noticed that instead of the blue innards it had in that awesome video, it was glowing purple. I timed my fall carefully, and landed on its back, between the shoulder blades. I grasped two small bones in its neck, and pulled backwards. The dragon flapped its enormous wings and flew straight up. I leant forward and it flew forward. I think I forgot I was dreaming for the rest of this, but I flew around for a while burning settlements and decimating armies with the dragon's purple flame-breath.

Run Back to Sleep (DEILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was staying in my girlfriend's house, having partied hard the night before. I felt myself waking up and decided to prevent it.

I thought, "No way I'm letting myself wake up here, think of the hangover!" So I blocked out the feeling of my real body (which had passed out in a strange position anyway) and started running. At first I was just running along a nondescript flat surface, with very little feeling in my arms and legs. But after a few metres, the integration stepped up a notch. I was physically pumping my arms and legs, sprinting with full control of my body. As I looked around, I saw I was in a random street, not unlike the area I was staying in. I felt my real eyes moving to look around. But intstead of the back of my eyelids, I was seeing a non-existent street. I kept running until I was sure there was no chance of me waking up again.



It was strange to me that I was able to "run" back to sleep, run away from waking up. And it felt like real running. The brain was obviously telling the body to run like normal- but with sleep paralysis, a virtual body was substituted, although it felt no less real.
