    1. 07/06/10 The Healing of S

      by , 07-08-2010 at 03:22 AM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
      Note: Several plans for this evening. First I did more training with Vegeta. Did a quick run through of the previously completed challenges, and then moved on to the maze. My reaction time is improving greatly just from the nightly training. Vegeta says if I keep this up, I will be moving and reacting so quickly that my enemy will have trouble keeping track of me. Who needs to teleport when you move as fast as that? Vegeta's time dilation allowed me to get a few hours training into less than an hour of waking life time. I am finding my memories of the training aren't as clear as they were in the beginning… Vegeta says that's fine, don't worry about it. The training needs to become instinctive, so remembering it is not important. Next I wanted to heal MoSh after he had been having some pains last night, followed by one more healing on S to make sure she is ok. And I still want to have a shared DDO dream with Tigress where we both remember it well. Still working on that one. I have decided not to go back into the Book of the Abyss again. I didn't like that sorcerer I found in there. I didn't like his attitude, I didn't like the feeling I got from him, I didn't like the fact he slipped disturbing images in with the images showing different fighting techniques, I didn't like the fact he had put down the fact that Walms restores nature by using dark energy… I didn't like anything about him. My first WILD went to training with Vegeta, this starts with my second dream.

      I got out of bed and looked at the clock. The clock said it was 1:30 in the afternoon! Oh, shit! I'd intended to be up by about 10:30! I threw on my clothes and ran out of my bedroom… and into a dark room. Wtf? My bedroom door closed behind me, leaving me in total darkness. I groped around in the darkness until I felt a wall. The wall felt like panels of cold steel. This made absolutely no sense. I followed the wall to the side until I found a corner, then I followed that wall. I could hear my footsteps echoing off of the steel floor. Why couldn't I see anything? I needed light. So far this felt like being in a strange dream where nothing was right… a dream? Maybe I was dreaming… I did a RC and confirmed that fact. I became lucid.

      I formed a ball of light in my hand so I would be able to see. The light reflected off of the metal surfaces of the room. The sound of my footsteps echoed. I thought about my dream goals. I wanted to go meet MoSh to take care of a couple of things. So I opened a portal to MoSh's inner world and went through it.

      I found MoSh waiting on the other side of the portal. MoSh asked if I was ready to go. I said I would be ready as soon as I did a healing on MoSh for the pains he had experienced the previous night. MoSh agreed to that, so we went into his house and into one of the bedrooms. MoSh lied down on the bed and I focused on the song Voices from the Macross Plus soundtrack. Golden energy formed and flowed through MoSh as the song played through. After that was done I opened a portal to go find S. The portal opened easily and I went through, followed by MoSh.

      The portal exited into a familiar scene of a church with a small graveyard beside it. Things didn't look as dark or dreary as I remembered it. It looked like a pleasant little church. Like in the photo, except it was night out. In the graveyard I saw a woman. She was beside one of the graves with some flowers. She set the flowers beside the grave and then looked over at MoSh and me. It was S. She looked over at us, she had a strange look on her face. She was the reason why I was there. I headed over to S. When I got closer to S I saw she was looking past me at MoSh. She said something about the bitch bringing her mutt mate. So apparently she was not happy to see us…

      I approached S, completely ignoring her comments. I did an energy scan of her. She was contaminated by dark energy. I could take that out… I briefly remembered things going bad the last time I tried that with her… should I try it again? Yes… I knew how to be more careful. I used Silver and Cold to draw dark energy out of S. MoSh used a healing spell, putting light energy into S. This time I watched the energy I was drawing out to make sure I wasn't trying to absorb any sentient entities. I drew the dark energy out, MoSh replaced it, and I didn't see any sign of a sentient entity. The process went smoothly. When the process was over, the area looked even brighter. It actually looked quite nice. I opened a portal back to MoSh's inner world.

      When we got back to MoSh's inner world, I noticed the dream seemed to be ending. Time to dilate time. I told MoSh I wanted to do something more with him if he didn't mind. He said that was cool. I figured that might not even matter… if he wasn't going to remember me. Either way, I decided to dilate time. I focused on Allura's method of time dilation, dilating time to the point where one hour in waking life equaled four hours of dream time.


      Note: The dream state completely changed plots here, so I will separate the next part into a separate dream.

    2. Mysterious Man, Beautiful Woman

      by , 07-07-2010 at 11:40 PM
      ---

      I wake in the same position I fell asleep: opposite the way I normally sleep, this time with my feet facing the door. I perform a reality check while laying down, confirming I am dreaming. I attempt to sit up but have trouble. I notice a faint bluish glow come from a drawer near my feet. From it, a man appears.

      He helps me stand while lucid for the first time in a while by teleporting me off the couch in my current position, as if the couch is what has been holding me back. I look at him, pondering his significant to the dream, and ask if he is willing in able to assist me in my lucid dreaming efforts. He nods very slightly and turns and walks through the door of my room which promptly shuts behind him as I begin to follow his footsteps.

      The dream fades to black and I awake in a semi-lucid state on a beach where the sun is setting. I am carrying two surfboards and walking next to a beautiful woman who I understand to be a long-time girlfriend. We are sitting, but decide to stand up and walk down the beach where we find a more suitable spot. I lean in to give my lover a kiss but become paralyzed, waking almost immediately.

      Finding Acid:

      I was just finishing at the gym and about to go home and get ready for work. Michael came and picked me up with Kara's ex boyfriend in the car. We started driving to this place 1:30 min away and he said he could get me acid ( I have been looking for some) He said the only condition is that I had to stop seeing Kara. I agreed with everything he said and we started driving. On the way there I was laying on the rooftop of the car. I started constructing a large bridge across the water in my head. It slowly started to become a reality. I realized that I was about to do a WILD. My dream hands started to come into the image and I got sucked into the dream. Everything was already super clear and bright. The water looked incredible. It felt like I was on acid because the colors were all amazing. I started running on the bridge and was thinking about running at the speed of light. I started to lose clarity and woke up I woke up in the car and tried to get back into the wild. I failed and woke up in bed. I did not want to forget this lucid again like I did last night so I started to write it down. I woke up again... this time for real

      Confusing, multiple versions of the same dream again but managed a lucid. False awakening too. Enjoy. Oh and I took Choline + Galantamine a few hours after first falling asleep.

      Cold Feet (non-lucid)

      I enter my house and take off my shoes. I ball up my socks and place them inside. Wait, it is no longer my house. We moved out. I go up upstairs and see a scantily clad women cleaning the bathroom. I can't let her see me. I sneak into my room and see clothes stacked on the bed a floor. The closet and drawers are cleaned out. Posters overturned on the bed. I sneak back downstairs, grab my shoes, and head out back. Leaving the socks. It is snowing.

      I walk down the alley and there is this garage without a door. I go inside and there is a black leather sofa and some people through tinted glass. A girl rides by on a bike and I follow her. I pas a woman that says something about pregnancy and veins. The garage opens up to this sort of backstage area like I am going to a concert. End.

      Cold Feet: The Lucid (dild)

      I am lucid in my house. I don't remember how or why. I am upstairs and again there is a woman in the bathroom. I forget all about my goals and decide to kill her. I go into a bedroom and into a drawer. “There will be knife in here.” I think. I open the drawer and dig beneath the clothes to find a knife. It is weird. It is a Swiss thing with drill bits and cooking tools and all kinds of things I don't need. Fine, I'll just strangle her. “That should help stabilize anyways.” I think. I go inside but she is gone. I feel a cold breeze from the open window.

      I leave the bathroom and search for the women. I go into the attic bedroom but it is empty. I look in the mirror and see I've got this crazy dragon tattoo on my bicep (none irl). I examine it, taking the dream rather slowly.



      I go downstairs and into my living room. I phase through the window (something I've gotten good at, I'll do it again.) I am on my porch.

      It is still snowing. Snow covers the ground. Bro and a co-worker shovel snow. I then see my neighbors' house...

      and through the window covered with Christmas decorations I see my neighbor and his daughter sitting down to eat a nice, peaceful meal. “Jill” I yell. Nothing happens. I phase through, crash through their window and onto the table. I jump down and try to Force Push/TK him away. He smiles and says “I bet you just need to play Whiplash.” and smiles again. I have just enough time to think of the song before waking up.


      Whiplash by Metallica

      Notes: Yesterday I had multiple versions of the shark dream. Tonight, I had multiple versions of Cold Feet. At one point, in one dream, the scantily clad women cleaning the bathroom was my mother. Yikes. And I was on a cell phone or something. Confusing. After the lucid there was an FA. I was sitting on my porch watching the snow. I went inside any my family was there talking about dogs.

      Frags:

      I found some work equipment in the trunk of a car, there was something about the Nintendo 3DS, and the police were there.

    5. FA-My clock that "talks"

      by , 07-07-2010 at 05:33 PM (LDS's Confusing Dreams of Oddness)
      DREAMNONDREAMSCENEDESCRIPTIONLUCID

      So, in my dream I wake up. It was still dark out, and it looked the same that my room IRL does, except for my alarm clock ...It was so weird. I picked it up, and it was like it was talking to me! It had words slide across it's now large screen-a different part then the time. It was like it was against me! I saw one word on it was my name! It said that no matter what I couldn't do SOMETHING. Well, I decided that this sounded rediculous, and that I might be in a dream. I don't normally RC, but on rare ocasion, I will if I ask myself if it's a dream if I'm not 100% sure. I try to stick my finger through my hand, it didn't work. I was still too convinced! I decided to check by getting out of my bed and floating/flying to the cieling. If it doesn't work, no harm done, right? Well, it does work and now I'm lucid. I wanted to hop into sims so I could be in simmy land . I jumped in it turned off, thinking I'd be in sims. BUT NO! I end up jumping basically right where I jumped in. I turned it on, thinking that it would take less time then IRL. The windows screen popped by fast. I didn't see the log in screen. Instead when it was done, it was on this random game I've never played before...Then I closed that, to click on SIMS! I didn't see it there. I only saw sims castaway stories, and I woke up .

    6. Scolor's Adventure To Clone Himself

      by , 07-07-2010 at 05:30 PM
      [COLOR="rgb(255, 0, 255)"]Dream[/COLOR]LucidCommenting

      I woke up late in the middle of the night, and Decided to read up on the forums. I saw the task of the month and was extremely interested. I have always wanted to do one of them, and i saw that the tasks seemed pretty easy this month. I Chose to WBTB and then i began....

      [COLOR="rgb(255, 0, 255)"]I couldn't understand where I was. I was in s street like new york, however, the streets were vacant. No one was around, except an owl. I Walked over to it, just to see what it was, and it turned into a human. [/COLOR]I then relized that i was dreaming, because obviously owls can't do that. The person looked just like me, dressed in white clothing, and wings. They told me it was my turn to die, and their turn to live. I looked at my shadow, and pictured myself obtaining wings, and they grew, i flew up, but the other me was much faster than me. He caught up and threw me to the ground. I pulled me arms together, and pulled apart rapidly. I pictured my body splitting, and ripping apart. Each one of those split apart, and i had 3 other versions of myself.

      I was very weird controlling multiple forms of myself. I could hear everyone's thoughts, and they were all individuals.... It was so awkard with everyone doing the same thing....

      So i commanded them all to be their own person, but to still look up to me as their leader. I sprang up and pounded the evil form of myself into a building (Which had several different portable walls inside, most likely a technical help building) and the 3 other forms of myself handeled the rest of it. I then attempted to do other stuff (Like calling someone) however no one was alive beside me and my clones, it seemed.... No one was in their buildings, and no one answered their phones... I traveled across america, then went to check the moon.... Befor i reached the moon, i woke up to the sound of my cell phone ringing.... grr

    7. Fun Teleporting, College BF?

      by , 07-07-2010 at 05:16 PM (LDS's Confusing Dreams of Oddness)
      DREAMNONDREAMSCENEDESCRIPTIONLUCID

      Once again, I am not sure if I was lucid or not, but it SEEMS like a lucid dream... I am in this room, with these random DC's. For some reason, we want to teleport this really funky, creepy, FUN way! (I will SO teleport like this again!) Well, I am not the first to go, so a few go before me. They go into this object thing, IDK what it was. When they're at a certain part of the wall, they're all "ahh...", soft scream. I want to go with someone, so I take this tiny little girl. I go in, and I'm on this slide type thing! It's also kind of like a water slide, the kind with the top, but with no water. It was dark, and the slide was gray. But you could see a light at the end of it, where we'd end up! It wasn't too far away.

      Well...we ended up in the same house, not too far away from where we entered . No worries, we were going to do it again, and this time it will work. I see this lamp. It is like a flower desk lamp with a small bulb in the middle. I close my eyes, tell everyone they can follow me, and hop inside the bulb. This slide looked the same as the other one, but it was just going straight, and at first there was a drop. It was fun, very exhilerating.

      This time we WERE somewhere different. I am not sure how to describe the scenery exactly, it was very unusual. Kinda romanish...with tan and white stuff...no grass or anything. I think I was in college or something here...I was with my college BF that looked like my simselve's husband :red:-humanized. Other things happened here with him and I, but I don't really remember.

    8. The Dream Game

      by , 07-07-2010 at 04:59 PM (LDS's Confusing Dreams of Oddness)
      DREAMNONDREAMSCENEDESCRIPTIONLUCID

      I am with some people, the same people from my other dream. I named the boy myself Scott or something... Well, I am with these random DC's, and someone decides to play this game. In this game, you go throughout the alphabet, and you have to think about something from one of your dreams that starts with that letter. For some reason, I thought of airplane after a bit...Like, from my last dream...or it may have been apart of this dream, kinda confusing . (I am even thinking about putting that game in a thread...in general dreams discussion, a forum game about dreams. PERFECT ). Well, for some reason I the kids have to leave in a plane. After they were gone, I decided I wanted them to come back. So, awesomely, I decide to fly to them! They are going fast and everything, but with my new found AWESOME method of flying, I knew I could do it.

      So, I get up in the air, and keep my arms at my side, and think in my head SHOOM. I made myself go faster. The plane looked SO weird. Like, there were no walls, anything. It was just seats and stuff with people in it. Around the "plane" was purple air! I do eventually catch up, and I get the GUY out, IDK about the little girl. I switch into the next dream...

    9. Sneaky, an Airplane

      by , 07-07-2010 at 04:52 PM (LDS's Confusing Dreams of Oddness)
      DREAMNONDREAMSCENEDESCRIPTIONLUCID

      WARNING: I remember lots of bits and pieces from my dreams this morning...so it's kinda confusing for me as to when one dream starts, another finishes, when I became lucid, and even if I WAS lucid, so please bare with me.

      I am at this house. It seems to me to be a pretty crummy house. I knew these people were poor. I think I am also by a swamp...The driveway seems long, I don't see the road. This swamp is to my left, with a stream as well. I'm pretty sure I was lucid...I wanted to go inside this house because I remember these 2 kids, they lived there...I think we "spoke" over the internet or something. I wished to speak to them and give them 2 homeade cards I made for them (cardmaking is one of my hobbies) . Well, I am lucid, but I still don't want the mother to know I'm here. So, I open up the door to see what it's going to take to get them outside with me. I see the mother near the door, but I have the door open in a way that she can't see me. I see the 2 kids relativly behind her. I try my best to get them outside, but I just can't with the mother right there. Then, I had an idea. I opened the door up all of the way, and the mom had her arms out, and gave me this evil look. No worries, I then paused time just by moving my arms. But, I let the kids come out. It was weird, because then I realized I didn't pause time...I kinda just made it so that the mother couldn't move...She was watching though, her eyes were moving.

      So, I gave the kids their cards. I was quite confused that they were KIDS that I wished to be friends with...but, yet, I still wished to be their friends even though I was lucid . I suppose I thought it couldn't hurt to go along with the scenario before me...I think I gave the girl her card first. On it was a scene with a fire and trees, and either a tent or a grill. The card was green, I believe, and all of those apliques were rainbow tye dye. Then I gave the guy the card.

      The scene changes, and now we're going onto an airplane. Was I lucid, or not, IDK... Well, we are going to have to board onto the plane. This part was quite confusing . Well, I want to sit near those kids...When we get on the plane, it's only us, even though before more people were supposed to board... The plane has no bottom, and our seats have this twisty phone like wire attatched to the plane. Mine was attatched to another seat, the captain or something...

    10. possibly my best lucid to date

      by , 07-07-2010 at 03:45 PM (Pdiddles03 Dream Journal)
      I don't know how I became lucid, i just did. before I became lucid, i had a dream me and my girlfriend bought this really nice big house. i was in the house sleeping with no shirt, when all of a sudden i saw someone in the house. or heard someone, i quickly confronted them. my girlfriend was at work. i went outside with them and there were people tareing up the bricks that made up our front sidewalk. I was ticked, the guy inc harge said it was because we owed the man money who payed for that. my girlfriend came home and found out too. I then explained to the guy that we had just bought the house. I went back inside the house and was for some reason jumping from wall to wall trying to escape from some animal, it came througgh my mind that i was dreaming, but then i doubted myself, but i eventually realized i really was dreaming. I somehow ended up in this building and i walked through a door into another room, I did this a few times and tried to make it so when i walked through the door i would see the starship voyager so i could explore it. but every time i walked through a door i would just walk itno another room. I t hen walked into a room where there was a bunch of people,and i talked to a few people. I walked outside and went into a car with some guy, and i started telling him that he was dreaming. he didn't believe me. I told him i was dreaming too and i was having a lucid dream , and explained to him what a lucid dream was. I told him that i would prove it by jumping on top of a mcdonalds building we stoped the car at. I got out and jumped and flew up . but the mcdonalds building turned into a rocky hill by a body of water. I was jumping from rock to rock trying to run away from a bob cat and jumped into the water, the bobcat jumped into the water too and overcame me. i remember hearing tim allen, from home improvement saying he wishes he wouldn't have gottin into the entertainment industry lol.

    11. Freddy Krueger, Lucidity, and Cloning

      by , 07-07-2010 at 12:15 PM (Hazel's Boiler Room)
      So, I've been doing this experiment with different stones and their effects on dreaming. For three nights I slept with malachite under my pillow, and my recall seemed amazing. (Though my dreams were not as disturbing/exciting as usual.) I was going to try tiger's eye for three nights as well, but after those two nights with extremely horrible recall, I decided to give that one up. Last night was night one with Amethyst, and I must say that I am pleased!

      1- Reverse Nightmare
      I am on a dangerous island with my family and some other people. Those who travel alone are stupid, and if they get killed it's their own fault. I feel no pity for them.

      There is no limit to the perils of this place: cannibals, deadly creatures, turbulent water... And yet, I'm feeling right at home! A trail of rocks goes far out into the water; I deftly run across them, quick as lightning, knowing that if I take one wrong step I'll be plummeting to my death.

      My mom follows me, albeit not as quickly. She says that in order to get off the island, we first have to make it through Krueger's labyrinth. "Freddy Krueger's here!?" I ask excitedly. My mom gives me a weird look; obviously this is not a typical reaction. I don't care. Excitement courses through my veins as we all head toward the labyrinth. "Remember," I tell them, "Don't show fear. You can't really die here. Freddy may cut you to shreds, but after its over you'll come back in one piece."

      We enter the labyrinth as I am saying this. As soon as the words come out of my mouth, Freddy's clawed hand has slashed all the way through my dad. "Damn, I died," he mutters, falling to the floor in a pool of blood. Krueger is standing there, smirking.

      I laugh. "You really don't know who you're dealing with, Krueger." As always, my lack of fear begins to absorb his energy. And as always, he runs like the coward he is. Grinning, I follow him. "Shelby's right," I think to myself, "If I was ever in a horror movie, I'd be the first to die, 'cause I'd chase after the evil thing." Just as I am closing in on my prey, wondering if I should rip his head off again or try something different, something changes.

      No longer in the maze;
      spontaneous lucidity. For some reason I feel that my energy has been screwed with, that I need to be healed. I know Raven Knight heals people sometimes. Maybe if I could summon her... I lost my train of thought as a mirror comes into view. Yeah, I'm supposed to be looking for Samael. I'll just use this as a portal. My thoughts are weird though, and I can't focus as I try to scry his location in the mirror. My reflection goes all weird for a second, taking on the form of a demon. Oh great, this again. I briefly look away, then look back. Good, my reflection is back to normal.

      Come to think of it, this would be a good time to try the task of the month. I reach into the mirror and pull my reflection out. She sprawls out on the floor, limp and lifeless. Annoyed, I prop her against the wall and look into the mirror again, at my new reflection. Before I can pull her out as well, my other one falls over in my lap. "Ew, she's drooling," I mutter, sitting her up against the wall again. A girl is standing behind me; she's been with me for a while, but I can't remember who she is. Raven Knight, perhaps? Possibly Tamora. She tells me to stop fooling around; that it's obvious I have to give the reflection some life force before it responds.

      "Oh, of course." I put my hand on my clone's head and say, "I give you life." Suddenly, her once glazed over eyes become alert. She can now sit up without having to lean up against the wall. "Yay, it worked!" Now I reach into the mirror and pull out my new reflection, this time giving her life before she's even fully out of the mirror. That's two clones, that should be enough to satisfy the requirements.

      As we walk away, the girl who is with me suggests that we go back to Freddy's labyrinth. "No, my powers don't work in labyrinths for some reason," I say vaguely. ((Um, what?)) We are going to a particular place, but where it is escapes my memory. I notice that my former reflections have stopped being clones. In fact, one of them has turned into a bald old man.

      Lucid dream
      Duration: Very short :/

      Firstly I only remember that I was in my house's garden. I was walking around it with my dog, then I see my sister with the same dog. I was WTF and imediately RC and confirmed that it was a dream. (I had 2 DILDs also last night but also connected that I completely forgot to rub my hands and/or to spin).Then I wanted to go inside my house but I remembered to rub my hands and I did it. But it is a problem when I rub them they start to feel like wax and they somekind repulse each other like a magnet I dont know why it doesnt result and the dream starts to fade a little and I try to spin but it woke me! WHY?! its the 5th lucid I have and those two things I do completely fail...

    13. Parkour *

      by , 07-07-2010 at 11:02 AM
      In one part of my dreams tonight I was running inside. I was doing some parkour which I don't think I would be able to do IWL. I ran it several times. Then I noticed I didn't get that exhausted and a voice in my head continued the thought with "because it's a dream." and it took me a second to realize it. I ran in the first part of the course. It was a long corridor. Because I knew it was a dream I started running as fast as I could and faster than that. I forgot to stabilize :/ I think I stopped and tried to create energy balls in my right hand. I closed it and opened it. I closed my eyes and opened them but then I was in my bed. I don't know if it was a FA and I fell asleep again.

      I find it interesting that my dream control is so much better when I'm not lucid. For now.

      I woke up and sat up in my bed. I couldn't see anything in my dark room. I got out of bed and headed for the door. I tripped over something furry… with a loud hiss, the cat ran out the door. Crap… I hadn't intended to step on a kitty… I followed the running cat and found her in the living room. I turned on the light so I could see the kitty better. A cute little tortoiseshell kitty jumped into one of the chairs and curled up to go to sleep. I did a double take at seeing that. The tortoiseshell cat could be no other than my beloved Amber…

      but Amber got too old and sick, we had to have her put to sleep over 3 years ago. Yet there she was, curled up on the chair and sleeping. I approached the kitty, a bit afraid she would disappear and prove to have been just an illusion. I stroked her soft fur. She no longer appeared angry from being kicked, she started purring loudly. Amber always had such a loud purr. I scooped the kitty into my arms and hugged her close to me. Nothing could make me let go of that kitty… never again. I hugged my purring kitty close to me. It was a dream come true to have her back. Wait… no… what if all of this really was just a dream… a dream that would disappear before I knew it was gone… then Amber would disappear with the dream… no, I didn't want to lose her again, my beautiful Amber... I did an RC… Definitely a dream. I held Amber close to me, I felt like I would cry…

      Amber started to wiggle. She wanted to go. I set her on the floor and she rubbed around my legs a few times before going into the other room where the cat food is. I could hear her eating in there. It seemed so unfair that I had to lose her again… Now to get my mind off of that and onto one of my dream goals. Open and read some of the contents of that locked book I found in the Akashic Records. I went into my bedroom and found the book on my dresser. I took the book and lied it on the bed. I undid the lock, the lock opened easily. I had already figured out the lock earlier, though I no longer remembered how the lock had opened. I opened the book to the beginning and looked inside. The pages felt like parchment under my hands. There was such detail on the book for a dream… such beautiful detail. I admired the leather cover and the pages inside right down to the fact they were completely blank. I flipped through some more pages in the book. Blank, blank, blank… I couldn't find a single line of text or a single picture in the entire book! So how could that help me with anything? Completely annoyed, I slammed the book closed. This sucked. All that trouble to get into the book for absolutely nothing. So I would do something else during this dream. There was still time left… and I hadn't yet dilated time, so I could make it even longer. So what would I do next?

      When I reached the door I got a strong feeling that I should turn around and go back to the book. Something about the book pulled at my mind, insisted that I return. I walked back over to the bed and sat down. I had a very strong feeling guiding me to pick up the book and open it again. But how could a blank book help me any? It couldn't help. The insistent feeling continued. The urging, the pull. This feeling could not be denied. I had to open the book. I lied the book on my bed again and opened it up to some random point in the middle. The blank pages stared back at me as if taunting me with their mystery. I reached out and touched the page of the book, felt the parchment. The parchment felt like liquid now… like it wasn't quite solid. My hand sank into the liquid, and then I felt myself falling… falling… and everything faded to black before a whole new location came into view…

      I surveyed my new surroundings. I floated down to what looked like a stone platform floating in the middle of an endless abyss… weird place. Purple clouds or something filled the abyss, but that only made it look emptier. The large stone platform floated in the abyss without any obvious means of support. I floated down and landed gently on the large stone platform. I looked across the platform, which looked to be about the size of a few football fields… not a small place. A figure stood at the far side of the platform. I could not tell who he was. I moved closer to the figure, the figure did not respond to my presence at all. The figure could have been a statue if it wasn't for the subtle movements I noticed as he shifted his position. I approached slowly.

      "Get on with it, will you?" the man said, "Do I look like I have all night? Come over here and tell me what you are doing with a book about dark energy. You don't look like a dark energy being… I see way too much of that disgusting light stuff in you. So tell me what you're after and make it quick, I have little patience for those of your kind."

      "Those of my kind?" I asked.

      "Light entities," the man responded in an irritated manner, "If I had not been bound to this book you would already be dead, fool. Now either tell me what you want here or go away!"

      So he didn't like light energy. I wondered what he would think of Walms. I saw the man looking at me with an intense star that made it look like he could peer right into my mind.

      "I have seen this person you are referring to as Walms…" the man said with obvious disdain, "I can see much of what goes on in the worlds, I just can't participate. I saw your Walms using dark energy to restore a forest." He scoffed, "There are those who don't realize dark energy is not meant to create life, it is meant to destroy life. Using dark energy to plant flowers… such a waste. Now, for the last time, why are you here?!"

      I pushed thoughts of Walms out of my mind, and focused on creating a mental shield to keep this guy out of my thoughts. I saw the annoyance on his face when I did that. I told the man that I wanted to control the dark energy. When I said that, he seemed to be a bit more interested. He said most of my kind only seek to destroy dark energy, and all who use it. I told him I was no longer that blind, dark energy can't be destroyed, if it did that would destroy the balance of the reality. He snorted at that. He said if I want to use dark energy I would have to get rid of that light crap I have right now. I said no, I would have both. He looked a bit surprised, but got an interesting smirk.

      "So you seek to live in both the dark and the light at the same time? You would dwell in the world of twilight?" the man was asking me, "Not just anyone can control both the dark and the light simultaneously. Mostly one has to select between the two, at least for their primary energy. Choose either dark or light." He looked at me as if evaluating something about me. His gaze was so intense I could feel him probing over me… I reinforced my mental shield to be sure he could not see my thoughts again. "But yes, it looks like you might just be able to do it… as long as the process doesn't drive you mad."

      "I will control both," I said, trying to sound confident. I had the feeling it would be an error to display any form of weakness to this man. I asked him who he was.

      "I am the darkness," he said, "I am the destroyer of worlds, I am the bringer of night. My name would mean nothing to you, though, human. If I was free right now I would rend your soul from your worthless carcass and devour it whole… you would be forever imprisoned within me, where you would experience an eternity in hell." He chuckled as if thinking of a pleasant thing. "But alas, it is not to be. I have been bound to this book and am now forced into servitude to fools like you. Teaching you how to use dark energy. There's still some fun to be had when fools who think they can control it are instead consumed by it, but not nearly enough. So if you seek my knowledge, come over here. I find some things about you amusing, but my patience for you is running thin."

      I wondered if I should trust this person. Who knows what he might try if I got too close. I eyed him from my current position, wondering what the best action would be.

      "Oh, for the hate of…" he said in a very impatient voice, "This cursed book won't allow me to directly harm anyone. And if I had wanted to kill you, you would have been dead long before you got even that close. Now get over here or go away. I'm not going to say that again. I might not be able to harm you, but I can refuse you my services."

      I went over to the dark sorcerer. He violently and suddenly took hold of my right wrist with his left hand, and my left wrist with his right hand. It felt like his grip could break my bones. But any pain I might have felt was instantly numbed by a surge of icy cold energy. Like dry ice. The cold flowed through my body in a massive rush. I felt instantly both drained and energized. Images filled my mind, images of various moves that looked like Alex Mercer from Prototype… the form changing, the consuming, the tendrils, the spikes coming from the ground, the sword, the claws… and some things I didn't remember seeing at all… becoming a dark vapor, fusing with an enemy to take control of them, creating raging black flames, calling forth darklings that would do my bidding, absorbing dark energy from any source, including the darklings I had just summoned… The flurry of images passed through my mind so fast I didn't even catch all of them. The images of using dark energy powers were interspersed with disturbing images of violence, torture, and death. I didn't see all of those, either, but I saw images of a child impaled on a spike, crying and writhing in pain, darklings coming out and eating the child alive, seeming to feed more on the cries of pain than on the flesh… I knew I had missed quite a few images, both of the torture and of the powers, but then the images stopped. The dark sorcerer pushed me away from him, my legs buckled and I fell to the ground.

      "Maybe I was wrong," the sorcerer laughed, "If you can't even handle that, you haven't got a chance of handling dark energy. Don't expect to be able to use those powers on your own yet… that's assuming you saw any of them… and return here in 24 hours time… if you have the backbone to take another step into darkness." I stood up, facing the dark sorcerer. I didn't want to show any sign of weakness. "Now be gone, human. We have no further business to discuss here tonight." With a flick of his hand, an invisible force sent me flying up into the air. I passed through the surface of the book and crashed into the wall of my own bedroom. Ok… that was weird… I wondered if it was wise to return there again… or if this was all a trick.
    15. At a hotel in summer

      At a hotel in summer (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Fifth dream of the night out of five dreams (three lucids)

      I had a FA in a hotel, but I do not recall exactly where.
      I became instantly lucid. My lucidity was very weak. I had very little control. I realized it was a dream, but I followed the plot of the dream itself.

      I flew at a very small height and I observed all the DCs. Most of them, if not all, were female. They were sun bathing, jumping in the pool, playing and chatting. I decided to jump to the pool and breath underwater. I was able to do it. I saw several ear plugs at the bottom of the pool.

      I started to mess around with some DC. I lost all lucidity here because I do not recall well what happened, but I was not feeling the same way I feel in a lucid.
