lucid

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?

Note: This night was another night like last night in that I had an epic WILD all crammed into one hour followed by the rest of the night with CRS. I don't know what the cause of this is, but it does seem to result in epic recall for my WILD, which I will post in a few different parts here.

I fell asleep with goals including getting MoSh to meet with his spirit guide and don Juan, and Tigress suggested MoSh might benefit from discovering his animal guide. Additionally I am still going with the goal of sharing a DDO or Oblivion dream with Tigress as well as completing the TotY. I used my light / sound device and slipped into my WILD…

I started this WILD as so many of them start, which is inside MoSh's inner world right in front of his house. In just a short time I had met up with MoSh and he said he was ready to go, but I said there was something extra that I wanted to do that might also help him. He asked what that was, I told him we would go find his animal guide. He asked why he needed to find an animal guide when he had already found his spirit guide. I told him that an animal guide can help you with different things than a spirit guide, I told him I am not as familiar with these things as Tigress, but I understand enough to know each guide has something special to tell us if we will just listen.

I led MoSh into the area behind his house where there were trees, though some of the trees, and to a nice meadow, which we sat down in the middle of it. I told him to focus on calling his spirit animal to us, and when the animal comes to us, we will know what animal it is. MoSh sat there for a bit, he appeared to be focusing on something, but nothing was happening. No animals were emerging from the forest. MoSh seemed to be getting impatient, he said he wanted to get going to talk to his spirit guide and don Juan before he woke up, he didn't want to spend the whole dream waiting here for some animal that might not come. I figured it would be pointless to just sit there if the animal guide wasn't going to present itself, so I told MoSh we could move on as long as we could look for his animal guide again later. MoSh said fine, and he got up.

That was when an animal did finally enter the meadow and headed straight for us. It was a fox! Could MoSh's animal guide be a fox? I remembered that Pablo's animal is a fox… The fox came closer to us, not showing any fear or hesitation, and then proceeded to jump directly into the air at me. The animal looked friendly, and I caught it in the air, pulling the cute fox into my arms and stroking the soft fur. Then I looked at the fox closer, MoSh wanted to know why his animal guide had gone straight to me, I said that was because the fox was Pablo, who had told me he might be showing up in my dreams in his fox form. So as MoSh and I went looking for MoSh's spirit guide, whom he calls Victor, I brought the purring fox with me, stroking silky soft fur.

MoSh and I searched for Victor, and the search led us to a night club or bar or something, they sold drinks, but they also had a live music going on there. We found Victor, but the music was much too loud to hear him over, so we just motioned to him that we wanted to talk to him, but we would have to do it outside. The three of us went outside where it was quieter, the bar must have had excellent sound insulation, because I couldn't hear a bit of the music outside. Victor asked MoSh how it had been going, MoSh said he had some questions, Victor said he would do his best to answer those questions. MoSh asked how he could increase his recall of his deep dream state. Victor asked if MoSh can't hear him at all while awake, because he had been trying to help MoSh remember some of what had happened in the deep dream state.

Victor said that the memory is a lot like a muscle in some ways, the more you use it, the stronger it will get, and when it comes to MoSh's memory of the deep dream state, that really needs some good exercise. He said the idea was to help MoSh with recalling deep dream memories only as much as needed, if that meant channeling the entire dream for now, then it did, but as MoSh did it more, Victor would have to tell him less and less of the dream until just giving MoSh a dream symbol would trigger the memory and finally MoSh wouldn't need Victor's help at all to recall all of his dreams. And even better, as MoSh gets better at recalling the deep dream state, his regular dream recall will also improve since his overall memory will get stronger. Victor went on to say that anything MoSh can do to improve his waking life memory will help him recall dreams, too… memory games, supplements, he rattled off a list of supplements here that a lot of them I didn't recognize including B vitamins, Omega 3 fats, antioxidants… I knew I would never remember the ones I have never heard of… but one of the best things MoSh could probably do would be to get a key piece of information from Victor and then meditate on it, letting the images flow freely and without questioning them, and if he had any doubts, he should just check with Victor who would confirm or deny if they were correct.

MoSh seemed to be thinking about that a bit, he said his ability to hear Victor in waking life is not consistent, Victor said the more they communicate in that manner, the better it will get. He looked over at me, I did a double take, not sure what I was supposed to do to improve MoSh's contact with Victor, he said that I have an excellent connection with my guardian and my guide, it is something that develops over time. I confirmed that, telling MoSh that when I first started hearing Hetfield, my guardian, I was not really hearing words, I would just sometimes get feelings and images, now I can hear him quite clearly, down to the last expletive… I thought about Hetfield letting out a stream of nasty words when he gets angry at something… Victor said that events occurring in the deep dream state weren't originally meant to be remembered, because that's where the subconscious mind deals with things that might be too extreme for the conscious mind to handle, so it takes some work to make it come easily, but it can be done. He looked at his wrist as if consulting a watch that wasn't there, then he said we had better be on our way to see don Juan before MoSh or I woke up. I noticed the fox in my arms disappeared. I didn't want to also wake up before finding don Juan, so I opened a portal focused on locating don Juan, MoSh and I went through it.

On the other side we were in the same kind of desert setting I had found don Juan last time when I dreamed on four planes simultaneously, controlling each of them separately but at the same time. Don Juan saw the portal and he saw us emerge, then he turned his attention to MoSh, almost seeming to not notice me at all. I knew that wasn't the case, he was just focusing his attention on MoSh. He said he had been expecting us, and that he and MoSh had much to discuss. Crap, I hoped I would be able to remember it all… I stood near them, trying to focus on what don Juan was saying… but he wasn't saying anything. He looked over at me. He said there is no offense meant in it, but as what he had to discuss with me was done with just the two of us was as it should be between him and MoSh. MoSh hesitated, then said no, he needed me there to remember. Don Juan said that a man who lets another support him all the time will not learn to walk on his own. Don Juan and MoSh both disappeared, not in a flash of light, not through a portal, they just vanished, one instant they were there, then they were gone.

I felt the dream slipping, and I didn't want to lose it yet. I thought maybe I could follow don Juan and MoSh, and just only tell MoSh what had happened if all other attempts had failed. To maintain the dream I did a time dilation, which stabilized the dream. 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…

Note: This dream is continued in the next post

1/11/06 - 3rd Visit from Dad : Lucid

Before this I had 2 profound lucids / visits from my Deceased Father. One was a couple days after he died and another one a couple of years later. Last night I had another. I've had many lucids where I call for him and he doesnt show up, it has to be his own doing. Also I've seen him as regular dream characters where he doesnt ever directly address me. These 3 are different, and they have a major impact on me throughout the days and my life. I was awake at 5:00 and had to get up at 5:45 so it happened in that short time frame. Like the last lucid it took place infront of our old house. I pulled up in a car in front of our old house. My dad came out smiling. I knew I was dreaming; I usually get really excited but I didnt want to pop awake so I remained calm although he could tell I was glad to see him. I asked where has he been, hows he doing?
He said he's fine. He walked down the driveway and was walking towards another car, a car I didnt recognize but it was an older car probably from the 50's. I'll have to look at old pictures to see if it was an old car he drove. I asked him how is the other side? He said "it's great" but then looked up and said "it's not always easy to reach the highest star!" Then my alarm went off and I woke up. I think he delivered this message because I'm going through a hard time in my life. He's trying to give me words of encouragement!

12/7/06 -- Lucid Moment

I was dreaming I was looking out a window. The colors were so vibrant I instantly realized I was dreaming. I jumped out the window and started flying. I did this for a while. Then I had a false awakening and I was pivoting on my stomach on barstool when I woke up. This was my brain trying to explain why I was dreaming about flying. Interesting!

11/12/06 - Audio File Triggers a Lucid

I was playing one of my lucid files, with repeating statements, this is a dream, you are dreaming..ect from about 3AM until I woke up. I was dreaming that I was sitting in the classroom, I'm not in school currently so that seemed odd. I heard the voice in the dream telling me that I was dreaming, so I decided to make my desk slowly rise up and hover then I spun it for about one rotation 360degrees. I dropped the desk down and the other students were looking at me like I was a Houdini or something.

My dream started where it left off with the Scooby gang except now Daphne, Fred and Shaggy +me are on the same side of the door as Velma &Scooby in the basement/cellar of the grocery store. I joked to Daphne about the danger-prone business. I said: "Daphne with all these danger-prone incidents in these dreams of mine, I could easily qualify for a honurary member of the Blake family." Daphne (and the others, and I ) just laughed then Daphne said "We will do that after the 'Mystery, Inc' gang finds the monster for today." I than asked them what monster they were after this time. They had forgotten. Than I started to talk about what I knew about Scooby-Doo shows (mostly about how Daphne's role had some development over the years). Somehow when I was talking I got up and sat on a pinic table. I noticed when I was half-done talking when I notice the Scooby gang were in their "frightened" poses.

The "dream camera" than switched perspectives so I could see what the gang was seeing (except through nobody's eyes) and there was Frankstien's monster coming out of nowhere behind the pinic table which I am on.

So I took a remote out of my back pocket (I have no idea how the remote got there) and pressed "pause" on it so I could finish talking.

I just finished talking and was just about to press "play' when two things happen:

1) a voice over saying "What will happen next time in Anne's Dream?"
2) Next Time Contuined............. on the "dream screen".

09/19/06 - Pull Friend into Dream/Game

I had a dream that I crashed at an old friend of mines house. But what was odd in the dream I fell asleep and went lucid. I noticed I was in really dark hallways but they had large celings like a castle because it was like medival bricks. It looked like a video game. So I was lucid and I told my friend we can do anything we want that we were dreaming. It's funny I was talking to him but I never saw him. There was a huge screen playing movies and they were showing Star Wars. I told him we can create lightsabers and fight the opponents this way. Funny thing I didnt remember seeing any challengers. I remember really taking in the scene and view and I remember sort of flying/hovering through the hallways.

09/16/06 - RollerCoaster and ICE

Well I first noticed I was on the ride like the alpine sleigh ride at astroworld (I knew I was dreaming and Lucid). It's a rollercoaster that goes thorugh the alps and dark tunnels. Well I was in the last car and this thing was really coming off the track. I remebmer trying to use my power in the dream to stablize the car so I wouldnt fall out or loose control. The ride was really fun and felt so real. After that I got off, I was surrounded by ice and snow and allot of people. It was dark with some light. The people were in a line so I was following them, I was rubbing my hands to keep the lucidity and it was working. After a long corridor of passages I get to this theater type place. I remember the scene was getting hard to focus, so I tried harder. At that point I popped back into conciousness.

09/01/06 - Flying with Kids

Well the dream started of on a very high place. Somehow these two kids were stuck at the top a sort of ferris wheel. The funny thing was, I was on a higher building looking down on them. Exagerated heights usually tell me this is a dream which is was and I was lucid automatically. So I told them look I'm going to jump down and it will be okay we cannot get hurt this is a dream. So I took the plunge, it was a long but very fun fall, when I hit the ground I just laughed because I knew I couldnt get hurt. So both of the kids jumped and they were amazed how nothing happen to them. I tried to explain that this whole world was a dream. So I started to teach them to fly and levitate. We didnt go very far just about 20 feet or so, but it felt like we were weightless and in slow motion, it was quite fun. So after this I went to see a friend who has been sick from work (in real life) to see how she was doing. The kids followed me of course; so I asked my friend whats up, how come she hasnt called etc. She said something like Greg would be so mad! I'm thinking well I was just being friendly and didnt mean anything more than that. I was sitting there with the kids I told them to rub there hands together (I did it) to keep lucid or they will fall asleep back into the dream and forget they are dreaming. I said you have nerves in your hands and those nerves sends messages to the brain so somehow it keeps you grounded. Shortly after I lost the dream, dont remember if it was a scene changed or I woke up.

08/29/06 - Flying Above the Ocean (Lucid)

I can't remember why but I some people that I was with were underwater searching for something. I didnt have any breathing apparatus so I thought it was odd that I could breath underwater with no problems. I'm sure that keyd me that I was dreaming. Once I lifted above the water I felt like I was hold on to some bar like a hang glider. So I started flying really fast above the water. It was really excellerating, fast speed and I could feel the wind blowing on me and everything. After that the scene somehow changed and I was outside in a neighborhood, it was nightime. I was still lucid, so I decided to try to run and fly again but I couldnt, the dream started to fade. I was playing my latest lucid induction file, not sure if this triggered the lucid or not.

08/28/06 - Quick Lucid Moment

I was in a oval room with red carpet, like a hotel with tall celings or something. I didn't recognize the place so immediately thought this was a dream. For some reason that instant I wanted to float to the top of the celing so I did, I started drifting upward but once I got to the top I dont remember the dream ending or changing etc. Defintely a brief moment of lucidty!

Audio file trigger Lucid 2:00 AM 08/15/06

Well I tried doing something different. I wanted to have my mp3 alarm trigger early in the night (2:00 AM). I had it play a script mp3 file with the usual statements. I remember seeing images when I heard the trigger but not exacty sure what I saw at the time. I opened my eyes for just a minute then attempted to WILD back into a dream. I didnt go lucid at first but I was seeing incredible HI's and almost entered the dream. I think there was some time between this but shortly after I was seeing this huge building that I saw earlier, looked like a castle. I thought this has to be a dream, why am I seeing this. So the file I could hear was telling to rub my hands to stay lucid which I did, it did stable the dream image. I was trying to jump to the top of the castle/building so I could fly to the top. To my surprise I couldnt, strange because I can usually fly without out thought in my lucids. After that I lost the lucidity and dream.

08/04/06 Double Lucid first part of the Night!

Well, I have to say this is a first in a while. I had a nice long lucid at the beginning of the night. This never happens due to I'm really tired and sleep hard the first couple of REM periods. Well currently in the real world my sisters are fueding and not getting along. In this Lucid it was night time and me and my two sisters were outside. This seemed strange for some reason and I knew it was a dream. I told them this is lucid dreaming and we can fly. I wanted for them to experience true freedom, let all their feeling go and just enjoy this. I actually for a second thought we could be dream sharing, I'll have to see if they had anydreams about me last night. So we started flying around the city, it was wonderful and they seemed to have a good time. After the journey, at one point they somehow got stuck under a bridge, and my daughter was with them. I helped them out and everything was okay but the dream started to fade and everything went black. I started using the rubbing hands technique and images started to come back. I was in an auditorium, (what I could see so far). People were translucent or blurry, but I kept rubbing my hands to stabilize the dream and suddenly, everyone was in focus. So everyone was looking at me, so I decided to sit down and try my yogi flying. This is where I sit crossed leg (indian style) and float. Well when I did they were all amazed and came up close to me to study what I was doing. After that I lost the dream and woke up.
