Hangin' On (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

The start of this dream is a bit fuzzy, I know that something was happening, but, I don't exactly know what.

Dream fuzziness, I remember a girl who I befriended at my house but that's it, I was thinking about how wierd this is, and the opposite thing of what ormally happens happened. Instead of my mind distracting me into thinking everything is real, whe I opened my door, the girl I befriended was bleeding out on my bed...I just thought, yep, this is a dream. She was screaming out "MA***, HELP ME!!!" Being the gentleman that I am, I waved my arm over her and she was completely fine, she hugged me, then I went outside my front yard.

I often end up outside my house when thinking of what to do when a ute with a tailgate came by, it was speeding by really fast and I thought I might try jump over it, but it stopped and tried to get out of my way. I followed it and then i'm pretty much chasing it around for a bit, it keeps avoiding me but then I eventually jump, miss, and grab the tailgate.

The ute starts speeding really fast, i'm struggling to stay on, the speed it was going was completely lifting me off the ground. As it's speeds along I try to pull myself onto the back of the ute, I make it so my hands stick to what they touch, I pulled myself up one bit and i'm a bit further along. I continued to struggle with this as the ute got faster, but I eventually got on the back, I stood up and grabbed onto the top of the ute. I see everything speeding by, it looks exactly like my town. I'm about to see if I can get on top of the actual vehecle part of the ute, but I first looked ahead to see if he was turning, he wasn't, so I clmbed on top and sat down, watching everything, but then he suddenly stopped later on and I went flying off, skidding along the ground, but it didn't hurt. I was at school...

Note: I started off with a couple of goals for the night. My first one was to go with MoSh to the Grand Canyon and find a city that is supposed to be hidden there.

I would strongly suggest you find this place. Research it and you will find there is reports of this city in folklore.

The other goal I had for the night was to do the TotM cloning task by multiplying myself. I was not successful in inducing a WILD, however.

I woke up in bed. I rolled over and opened my eyes. I didn't feel sleepy. It looked like this was going to be one of those times when I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep. Crap… that doesn't happen to me very often, and it seems like it just happened… but now again? I got out of bed and figured I'd get a drink and hope I was wrong. I walked out of my room and into a hall that is much longer than my waking life house. That was odd… odd enough to trigger a RC. I discovered that I was dreaming.

I stopped to think about my goals for the night. My first goal was to meet up with MoSh and head for the city that is supposedly hidden in the Grand Canyon. So I opened a portal to MoSh's inner world and went through it…

I entered MoSh's inner world where I often do, right in front of his house. Everything there was bright and sunny. It was a nice day in MoSh's inner world. I walked up to the front door and knocked on it. The door opened soon, and I went inside. It was nice inside, too. I was glad to see it was bright and pleasant instead of dark and creepy as I have seen it so many times before. Asuka was just coming into the room. She said MoSh had told her I would be over. She had some cookies with her and she handed me a couple. They were chocolate cookies with dark chocolate and white chocolate chips in it… yum… MoSh came out shortly later. I asked him if he was lucid. He said sure. I asked if he would remember this dream. He said no. I told him that wasn't good… do a RC… this is a dream. He said he already knew he was dreaming. I said then he should remember the dream. But for now we would go. I opened a portal to the Grand Canyon. A portal opened and both MoSh and I went through…

MoSh and I were now standing on the rim of the Grand Canyon… and it was quite a view. I have seen it a couple of times, but it has been a long time and its beauty still amazed me. MoSh stood there looking at the canyon for a while. I told him we had better get going if we were going to find the cave before one of us woke up. I took MoSh by the hand and jumped off the edge of the canyon wall. We both flew down into the canyon. I wasn't sure where to find the entrance to this hidden city. I remembered Lonewolf saying something about tornados guarding the entrance… so a wind elemental. But hadn't he also said the tornado was an ally? But an ally to who? An ally to peaceful visitors? An ally to the people who used to live in the city? I wasn't really sure what that meant…

MoSh and I flew low in the canyon for a while. I looked at the sides of the canyon. I didn't see any signs of wind elementals or of suspicious caves. I wondered if we were even going the right direction. I landed on the ground and looked around for a bit. This really stank… where would I go now? I looked over at MoSh. He was over by the river. I went over to see MoSh. MoSh was skipping rocks. I tried to get his attention. He looked over at me and said hello. I asked if he was still lucid. He said sure. I didn't think he was acting like himself. But I was still confused on how to find this city. And about who this wind elemental ally was... or had I read it wrong? Tornado alley? Lots of tornados? Wait a minute… there's no tornado alley in the Grand Canyon! That wouldn't make any sense! I was running out of ideas… the canyon is a huge place. I wasn't going find the cave by looking around like that. I had to use a different approach.

I went over to MoSh and told him I was going to try something different. I took hold of both of MoSh's hands and focused on teleportation. It isn't my strong point, but I wasn't sure how else to track the cave down. So I focused on teleportation, also focusing on taking MoSh with me. I focused on what I wanted to find even though I wasn't sure exactly what I was looking for. I focused on it, and for a bit it seemed like nothing was going to happen. MoSh was giving me a strange look as I was holding both of his hands. He gave me a strange smile. Then the teleportation worked. The scene around MoSh and me completely shifted.

MoSh and I were floating over water… and I had not realized we would be floating. We both dropped into the water with a splash. Both of us came to the surface. I floated out of the water and into the air, MoSh followed me. We were now looking directly at a cave in the canyon wall. We floated over to the cave and landed right in the entrance. It was dark inside the cave. I wondered how far back into the canyon wall it went.

MoSh and I followed the passage back into the passage. It got dark rather quickly. I summoned a light and we continued going back farther. The passage also seemed to be slanted down. I saw writing on the sides of the passage that looked like ancient hieroglyphics. The passage finally ended in a circular room. More passages led off in all directions. There were beautiful carvings, statues, other assorted artifacts. I looked at one of the statues. It looked more like an Egyptian artifact than what I had expected.

I hadn't really been sure what I was expecting, but I think I was expecting something related to native American culture. I looked at some of the artifacts there and then we just kind of chose a passage at random and headed down it. I had no idea where it went or if we might get completely lost, but it didn't really matter since we were dreaming. I looked at some hieroglyphics on the wall. I wished I knew what some of it meant, but none of it means anything to me MoSh and I explored the caverns for a while longer until I realized he was gone. I figured he had woken up. It wasn't very long after that when I woke up.

I was outside my house. I looked around and saw the desert around me. Nothing looked out of place, it looked the same as my waking life. I was hot due to the fact it is the desert and it is summer. I wanted to go back inside where it would be cool. I walked back over to the house and tried to go inside. The front door was locked. Wtf? Why was I locked out of the house. I went around to the back side of the house and found the two doors on the back of the house were also locked. Damn! I tried to think where we keep the emergency key hidden, in case one of us needs to get inside and has no keys. I couldn't remember. I looked around, under rocks, under pots, everywhere I could think of that the key might be hidden. No key. Damn… my mother must have taken the key in.

So by now I was really hot. I wanted to get somewhere cooler. I really needed to cool off. I went to the front yard where there is a small pond with a few fish in it. I found it was dry. There was no water in it, and several dead fish were on the bottom. The plastic bottom of the pond was cracked and splitting as if it had been empty for years. I walked away from the dry pond and over to the gate at the end of our driveway. The gate was lying on the ground. I walked down the road a ways. Sooooo hot… I saw some trees all together that gave a nice amount of shade. That would have to do. I went over to the trees. I could feel cool air coming from under the trees. I got down under the tree. The foliage was so thick that I couldn't see through it, but there was a small hole through the plants. I crawled into that hole to immerse myself in the coolness. The hole went on forever… this was weird… and it got me curious as to where it could lead… I kept crawling and emerged in another place where it was dark. Night time? And I wasn't in a desert… I stood up and did a RC… I was dreaming!

I walked across the meadow for a ways until I reached a small rocky hill. I looked up into the rocky area. I was getting a weird feeling about the area. I had the feeling I was being watched. I looked around a bit, looking mostly towards the rocky hills because they provided so many places to hide.

I was scanning the hills when I heard movement behind me. I turned quickly, activating my Witchblade sword in case I was attacked. I paused once I was turned around and then put my Witchblade sword away. I was being followed, but I was being followed by MoSh, not an enemy. MoSh said it looked like I was still mad at him. I looked around a bit more… the bad feeling hadn't left me just because I had identified MoSh. I responded to him in a quiet tone, saying I wasn't particularly upset right now… but this place was giving me the creeps. He asked if the Templars had been attacking me again. I said the Templars were all dead. That was where my negative energy had gone. At least they're useful for something…

It looked like MoSh was about to say something else, but he never got the chance. Someone apparently thought it was necessary to prove me wrong about all the Templars being dead… There was movement in the rocks. Templars emerged from the rocks. There were about 20 of them… not many at all. This would be easy. I formed my Witchblade sword and attacked them. They attacked. Some of them had weapons that looked like futuristic laser weapons, others had swords. I attacked them. Cut through one and ran my sword through another. I saw Templars attacking MoSh… I also saw him kicking the shit out of them. This fight was over quickly. The Templars were lying around us, dead. The bodies quickly disappeared as they woke up.

"Ok…" I said to MoSh, "Now all of the Templars are dead,"

MoSh was going to say something again. I felt the dream slipping away. I tried to focus on dilating time. I told MoSh I was about to wake up… but I would try dilation… but I never even got a chance to get focused before everything faded and I woke.

dreams from the other night

Checking on Asuka

I remember being in the hallway of my dream house. I remember asuka said she was going to bed and she entered a room. A while later I was worried that someone might try to kidnap her. I went into the room and turned on the light, i saw asuka lying on the floor sleeping. She opened her eyes and looked at me.

victor

i'm in my house and victor is sitting at some computers. I keep thinking he's the Victor who teaches japanese on youtube. I keep wanting to ask him what he uses for a video cam and microphone for his mac. I now have a mac and want to know what will work properly on mine.

Last night

Jay

I was walking down a street in chilliwack with an old friend. We were catching up on our stories. We also talked about some of our old doings.

movie

My dad is driving the family truck down the main highway by my town. I am in the backseat, my brother is in the passenger seat. I have no seatbelt and I'm worried that We will get into an accident. The highway looks funny... It's completely black and we go up and down many steep hills with the other traffic.

We enter a town. My brother says he has to go somewhere and he leaves. Me and my dad are left outside a mall. There's a movie theater in the mall and we look at some movies that we might see. One movie is actually a series of action movies. i remember something like "X" from the title.

Mom

I go to calgary to look for my mother. I find her in the apartment she has, but her room is set up in the hallway. She tells me everything is fine but i can tell she is lying

Cacophony

My brother is driving down a country road. I am in the passenger seat. I spot a town where cacophony lives. for some reason i think she lives in a town close by in alberta. I ask my brother why we are going there instead of to my home. He says he just wants to see something there in this town.

As we enter the town I spot a Trail made from mulch going through a park. I have memories of talking to cacophony about this trail, she was teling me how she used to walk it all the time. Our car turns on a streat that goes in a circle. I recognize her house on the street, it's a tall wooden house painted white.

I can't remember if we went in THAT house or another one, but the next thing I remember is that I'm in a house walking down a circular hallway. The character that was my brother is now a female guide showing me around the house. I walk by many portraits and photos on the wall. We continue to walk and I see a woman with brown hair staring at me. At one point the guide is talking to that person. I lean against a door and it opens. I notice it's a bathroom and someone's inside. I quickly close the door and continue following the guide.

I come across a windiing stair case that matches the contours of the wall. I see a portrait of cacophy there, and also a small black and white photo of another girl right beside it. I become lucid but everything gets fuzzy.

I also had another fragment where i was with cacophony but i can't recall it.

Okay ummmm.... WOW?! What happened to me last night? By far that was my longest lucid dream ever. OK here goes:

Non Lucid

Okay so the non lucid part is all mixed up and hazy but these are the parts I can remember. I realised I was in school which is kinda weird because we just left school. What's even weirder is that I was only wearing my boxers. Okaaaaay so I'm walking around school in my boxers then I think I dropped something on the floor because I remember crouching down to pick something off the floor and thought hmm this looks like a nice place to sleep. At the time I must have thought it was RL and when I woke up I thought did I sleep on the floor last night or was that just in the dream. I was really confused about what was dream and what was reality. Well anyway while I was crouched on the floor going to sleep I must have done the opposite of a false awakening. Having a dream within a dream . I try to imagine it like a normal dream is (dream) and a dream within a dream is (dream(dream)). In this case I woke up from the second dream inside the first dream. So I woke up in my boxers on the floor of my school . I hope you understand what I'm talking about here.

So another part of it I remember is being in mud-land or something with my sister and her best friend. We jumped down some massive tube of mud that was being emptied and down some massive underground tunnel. Why? I'll never know.

Lucid

Ok so far it's all been non lucid. But now I find myself outside my old house. I turned lucid somehow. Okay now it's time to experiment with something I thought. I tried to change the scenery around me to a massive white room to try out some stuff in. It sort of worked. The view in front of me went a patchy white as if the scene had half changed then decided not to. I had to use my arms to wipe off the rest of the old scenery and turn it into the white room. I started to hear my voice echoing when I spoke. I find that saying what I want to happen in my dreams helps it happen. So I turn around and behind me I'm still on my old room. One half of my dream is in the massive white room and the other half is on my road. It's the weirdest thing. So I turned the other half of it into the white room too. Then I realise that I can hear birds singing. "No birds" I said. The birds disappear. Then there's some light rain. "No rain" I said. The rain stops. I really started to appreciate how realistic this dream was. The big white room doesn't last long. I found myself in the town centre and I try to summon people. It works but from then on it got stupid. I tried to summon some other stuff but when I started someone walked up beside me and started pointing at the thing I was summoning and screaming "MODS! MODS!". okaaay then. So everyone disappears and then it gets to the best bit.

I'm outside a building on the edge of a lake with a pier but it looks cartoony. Like it's in Beautiful Katamari style animation. I'm looking out over the lake and behind me to my left there's a kitchen door with a person making burgers in it. He looked like somebody from burger king or something. So I think to myself how about some pyrokenisis. I cup my hand like I'm holding a football in it and really concentrate on making fire. A small blue flame appears in it like the size of one out of a lighter. I fell sort of proud of myself for doing this so I tell the guy that's making the burgers to come and see what I could do. He said something like "I can't I'm making burgers". Yeeeaaah I'm making fire with my mind and all you can think about is making burgers. Idiot. So I try to make a fireball with my mind and throw it at something. I cup both hands as if I'm holding a ball between my hands and concentrate on making a ball of fire. It works but it starts to get really hot. It's not like I'm immune to fire like you would expect. I start getting burnt so I hurry up and throw it. I end up throwing it into the water. Then I try to make lightning. I do the same thing as with the small flame but I concentrate on lightning. I make a small ball of energy in my hand and throw it into the water. For some reason I find myself falling in the water as well. OMG if I fall in that water I'll get killed by the electricity. There's people laughing at me trying not to fall in and I manage not to. THEN (and this is probably the strangest part of the dream) I find myself inside a huge monster's mouth with the burger guy. Seriously? WHAT?!?

Then I think I must have woken up. "MUST GET ON DREAMVIEWS BEFORE I FORGET ANYTHING" unfortunately I probably forgot a lot of stuff. Also at one point I remember half waking up. I was thinking I wonder if imagining you're spinning around when you're halfway into a dream helps induce lucidity? Apparently it does but I don't know if I was truly half awake or if I was having a false awakening.

Anyway that was the best lucid dream I've had. Glad I was able to share it with all of you lovely people .

P.S: I listened to almost the whole of the new pendulum album writing this. Remember how I recently left school? This is the most writing I've done for a loooooong time

I started off the dream in Mrs. P's classroom. It was the last day of school again. The lights were out, and it was dark. We were waiting for the bell. Mrs. P was yelling at us and telling us that we couldn't leave if we were this noisy. No one really listened.

Then I was in Mrs. G's class. We were still waiting to leave on the last day of school. I was looking at some chart; apparently it was some activity that we had done at a field trip. As I looked at it, I saw that everyone's name was on the chart. Beside it there was a rank (as if we were in the army or something), along with statistics: how many people liked us, how many people we hated, and how many people we liked (ever so random?). When I looked at the top of the chart, KA was there with the rank of Commander. It said that 1 person liked her, she hated 11 people, and liked some amount that I can't remember. Then I was with RE, and we tried to find our names. We found it in the middle; ours were beside each other, ranked at about 43 or 44.

Then I ended up in the hallway. I asked KA if I could go to her house. She told me I probably could. But then she was going to some other random person's house, and apparently I was to go with them. The random person's mother was there. She asked me if I had a bike. I said yes, and she sighed with relief. But then I realized that even though I had a bike, it was at home.

I ended up in the front yard. I was with my friends. We were saying our goodbyes. I started to leave since I had to meet KA and her random friend at the front of the yard. As I tried to get out, I realized I was pretty well trapped. There were fences everywhere. I hopped the short fence of the yard onto the street, but in the middle of the street was a wooden building with a wooden tunnel dug out under it. There was fence all around it. Somehow I knew that it was from TR, where the people apparently talked to us before we departed. I went up the wooden ramp and into the little wooden hut, but a fence blocked off the exit.

I then realized that the only way out was to go through the school. I went into the school and turned left to the exit. As I went to the exit corridor, I saw my principal. She was in front of my. I walked cautiously behind her, trying not to make her notice I was here. Then when we were in the corridor, there was a set of stairs and a door on each side of the little room. She was at the bottom of the stairs. As I prepared to go through the door, she stopped and turned around and blocked my path. I jumped to the other side of the stairs, but she followed my lead. I made a dash for the door to my left. I exited, thinking, "She can't catch me, she's just walking around in high heels! I'm running! There's no way!" But yet I could feel her behind me. I tried to run, but the "dream gravity" pulled me back. This made me lucid. I randomly decided to try and transform into a purple dragon, but the dream ended there.

1- Gross
((I'm not going to describe the events that led up to my lucidity. Believe me, you don't want to hear it. I'll just say that it involves tonsil stones.)) I look in the mirror and decide that I'd better RC for good measure, because this is NOT normal. To my relief, I am dreaming. All I remember is going out in my backyard...

2- Hitler's Reincarnation
A man who is the spitting image of Hitler is doing some experiments on a dreamstone. He is progressively getting crazier and crazier. There are some people that he has locked up, and he is talking to one of them. "I wonder how the stone will react," he murmurs, "when it absorbs all the negative energies from your massacre!" He opens the gates, and the prisoners flood out. Men on horseback come, slaughtering every one of them.


3- DEILD attempt
I am trying to DEILD, but I don't realize that I'm already dreaming. It's too late to even call it a DEILD anyway, 'cause I've already opened my eyes. I am looking at my reflection in a mirror above my bed. She is gesturing for me to come closer. I refuse, telling HER to come closer. She walks out the mirror door, subsequently walking IN my real door. Cool, now there's two of me! ((I'm semi-lucid at this point.)) My reflection doesn't seem to like me that much, but I don't care. I try to think of something interesting we can do, when...

4- Wild Chase
Chris calls me, and I "wake up."

"What is it!?" I yell from my bed.

"Come here!"

He hands me two cookies wrapped up in a piece of paper. He tells me I have to take them to Nathaniel. "Why can't Steven do that?" I ask irritably. "It's his friend." But I go out to the car anyway. For some reason, Jordan's there, and he's in the driver's seat. What's the point of me even going?

We start off down the road. From the talking in the back seat, I conclude that Tony, Eve, Charles, and my brother are with us as well. Why are THEY here?

Jordan is swerving all over the road, and I yell at him to get in his lane. "I can't! I'll hit the pigeons!"

"How can you even see any pigeons!? You don't have your lights on!" While he's trying to find the lights, he swerves off the road and nearly crashes. We come to an abrupt halt. Charlie runs out of the car and pukes all over the road. When he gets back in, I'm about to tell Jordan to let me drive, but he takes off at an alarming speed.

"Slow down, you idiot!!!" Now the cops are chasing us. They're shooting! He manages to get away, and I force him to stop the car. "I'm driving!" I fume angrily. He doesn't argue.

I have another run-in with the cops, but I'm driving a hell of a lot better than Jordan was. They're only chasing me because of his stupidity... But using my new-found super driving skills, I easily evade them. Steven tells me we have to stop at McDonald's to get his friend's burger.

Somehow, I'm on a motorcycle now, and everyone else is just walking around me as I pull up to the drive through. After ordering, I realize that we must have left those cookies in the car...

Conclusion: Samael is right. DC's should never be allowed to drive.

Last night I had three dreams and a lucid!

Tattoo

I was with my brother and sister. We were in a trailer, and they were going to go out for the night. My brother has this tattoo he wanted to add to, and he had this idea to stick eyes in it. My sister hated the idea so I started to design a swirly design to go inside. Later, we were at the tattoo parlor and he came in and got it done.

School?

I was in a lesbian relationship with one of my (former) best friends (who is totally straight.) We had been holding hands in the hall and this girl from my high school jumped out and started attacking her. I tried to defend her, but the more I yelled, the more people came to hurt her. One person ran up and dumped a movable tray with a bunch of A/V equipment on her, and she fell over passed out. I started kicking and biting, screaming as hard as I could, but no teachers came. I can't normally scream in dreams, and this time it was because the girl had her hand over my mouth. They started beating me, and once I stopped screaming, someone came and helped us both. I even think the girl got in trouble, yay!

Camp!

It started out on a plane. There was a large group of us, and we were landing. We separated into groups, and I got the lame no-group group. There was a Pikachu group that my old manager from Waldenbooks led (all the kids in it had to wear Pikachu outfits XD) and there was a Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat group. A friend/musical rival from high school was going to play Joseph, even though she was only chosen two days before it started. She wasn't very good, and sometimes she wasn't even singing. I was pretty upset and wished I could have auditioned instead. I was going to sing after the performance stopped, but got embarrassed halfway through.


My First (more than five second) Lucid!

I don't remember much beyond the beginning of the lucidity. I was with a girl, and suddenly, can't remember what the DS was, I thought, "Oh, that's because I'm in a dream!" And I had to convince myself, like my mind didn't want to believe it. I tried sticking my finger through the nearest thing... I think it was a fence or a wall of some kind. It worked! After that, I tried convincing the girl with me we were in a dream (and in the process, totally forgot to center and look at my hands...) because we were running from someone. She ran ahead, so I went after her. Already it was getting really hard to focus, but up ahead I saw a huuuge building! I remember thinking, "Oh, yeah, this is a dream. I'm gonna run up it!" I had to psych myself up, because I wasn't sure it was gonna work. I picked up some speed, and I thought, "I'm running sooo fast, it feels so great, I can definitely do this!" I jumped to early, and my foot didn't hit the building, but I had gathered so much speed that for a minute, I was running about an inch above the building. All I remember thinking before I woke up was, "If I had a sword, I would be too badass right now."

Blue = Lucid
Green = Semi-lucid
Red = Non-lucid

I woke up from a normal dream and didn't move 1 inch so I DEILD'ed without even trying at all.
I woke up in my room, I sitted on the bed and looked around, I saw my older sister and she was being all hyper which was unusuall for her. I knew from the start I was dreaming but I wanted to make sure so I looked at my right hand, it had 5 fingers, I checked my left hand and it had 3 fingers, I closed my eyes and opened them again and it had 5 fingers now. Now I was sure that I was dreaming, after some time my sister exited the room and dissapeared, I couldn't remember at all what she was saying. I stood up and walked a bit around the room, rubbing my hands just to make sure everything stays. After a few moments I started calling out "Yranul!" after my first shout some tiger like creature with weird colors jumped on me and tried to kill me, but I fought back, as I hitted it my hand just went trough it, breaking it into 2 pieces, for some reason it's insides were out of wood, but the creature seemed like it was made from flesh and bones o.o... After defeating it I stood up again and called out again "Yranul!" this time nothing attacked me but I saw a small shadowy creature walking on the already shadowed floor, the room was halfly bright but the floor was dark and shadowy. I picked up the creature that was walking down there and it was a pitch black eevee with black eyes, I took it into my arms and held it like a baby and petted it, it enjoyed being petted. It couldn't talk but it talked to me by showing me signals with it's paws, I can't remember what we talked about besides the last thing. It took some kind of a small book and listed trough it looking for the calendar for 7th month but it couldn't find it, it kept listing and listing looking cofused how it's not there. While it was doing that I kept hearing in my head "Birthday....birthday..." I tought maybe it meanth Noom's birthday so I pointed to 30.1 but it shook it's head and kept on looking, then I tought maybe it meanths it's own and mine so I pointed 29.3 but again it shook it's head. It gave up after some time and went back into my arms and I petted it some more. It dissapeared for some reason and I was transfered into my mom's house into the kitchen and in it were my mom and stepdad, I was semi-lucid at this point. They started shouting at me and kept telling me what a failure I am and looking for any insult they could find. For some reason I couldn't move or anything, I could just sit and watch them scream at me. After some time I was again transfered somewhere else, this time I was in some small store and I was non-lucid. I looked around the store looking what they had, 1 thing caught my eye, It was a box with packings on it saying "lolipops" but inside the packing were regular pencils. I looked confused at them and then I heard 2 girls talking about something. I turned around and one of them was pregnant, she said something about those pencils help her become pregnant. Before I could get even more confused I was again transfered somewhere else, this time outside of a huge mall. I saw a person walking and talking to someone how he got a car on luck games, sold it and made himself a house. Before anything happened I was transfered into the huge mall but I don't remember anything that happened from that point on untill I woke up.

As I woke up I remembered it all for 1 second but I quickly forgot ALOT of it and got a huge headacke and got tired.

Notes :
Yranul - My sub-c or Dream guide
Noom - My love's sub-c or Dream guide
Sub-c and Dream guide are pretty much the same thing as far as I know. xD

And final note :
I have something called mental block and it is causing me not to be able to contact Yranul and it forces out any memory from dreams I am not allowed to have by it's opinion and it also dissallows me to visualise in colors and alot of other stuff but that is not important. xD

Scarping from work in a busy day. (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Fourth dream of the night:

I was working at the Olive Oil store. It was very busy. It was not on Saturday. I know this because there are shows every day outside. During weekdays there is a band with a beautiful flute and the play awesome music. But on Saturdays there are some annoying dancers... I hate them. To bad in this dream they were not present, as I became lucid...

I exited the olive oil store. It was full of people. Some of the stores outside were different than waking. The place was also longer and bigger. I visited a few stores and I remember entering in one and picking a small bottle. It fell to the ground but it did not break. I placed it back on its place.
This store had the counter on the right, two employees behind the counter and a few (three I think) customers. The store lighting was very decent. It was not very full with merchandise though.

My phone rang and it was the card store where I used to play. The store called me asking if I was going to join the pre-release tournament for M11 Core Set. I was not sure if I could make it, but I recalled that I have not much to do for that Saturday.







They asked if I was going to make it for sure. He reviewed my contact information and asked me for a credit card #. I told them I would pay at the store as usual (I was unsure if I would make it) I told them that I might needed to quit the tournament earlier.

I walked around the mall and I became lucid without a specific reason. I felt happy because I was able to finally leave the job at the busiest time without repercusion. I started to fly around a little. I did this because is what I visualize when I do a RC at work. I saw three ladies and I landed next to them. They started to laugh. I started to levitate and they were very surprised. They liked that a lot.
I looked at the scenario were the bands are, hopping the stupid annoying dancers were there to blast them into oblivion. It was empty.

I rememeber about doing the task of the year. I was going to look for a portal to travel to the roman age and fight some gladiators. I felt the dream vanishing so I decided to rub my hands. I have never tried this before, spinning always worked well for me but I heard that rubbing hads was better. As soon as I started rubbing hands, I lost height.

I landed and walked towards a small street with a dead end. I saw a wall with a big and black void:







I decided to go back and meet with the girls that were surprised with me. I planned in talking with them to get more into the dream. They were talking about other stuff and did not see me. I tried rubbing my hands but the dream faded.

I had a false awakening in bed. I felt that one of my eyes was hurt. I could not open my eyes properly. I felt like it I had something in my right eye. I tried to take of my sleeping glasses, but one of the cords was like inside my eye and it hurt me when I moved it. I walked to the kitchen and ask for help to my wife until I woke for real.

Ah, feeling quite happy. Last night, after reading up on MILD (including my own previous experiences with it) and "rehearsing" reality checking to things like darkness and water, I decided to try MILD again. I went to bed, reciting "I will have a memorable, vivid and recalled lucid dream tonight." I tried to really take it slow and focus on every word's meaning, visualizing when I could. As I started to fall asleep, it became harder to concentrate on visualizing and meaning, so I just tried to keep repeating the mantra as much as possible. It took me a good while to fall asleep, but as far as I can tell I stuck with it basically until I was sleeping. And it paid off -- 4 dreams recalled (though good recall wasn't really the focus, but I'll take it!), one of which was lucid (not all that memorable, but still) and another of which was close / semi-lucid. Here they are.

I'm in some kind of small city. I step out from the street into some kind of small store, accompanied by some guy I apparently know. For a long time I look around, unsure of what to buy, if anything. The guy ends up talking with the cashier, a girl that he knows. I think he buys a few things. Meanwhile, I start checking out an aisle that has a bunch of books/comics.

After a while I still haven't made up my mind about what to buy, and the others start making fun of me for it. I just kind of laugh and go along with it. The dream is a bit blurry here -- I recall something about stick figures: either one of the comics involved stick figures, or the guy and girl themselves turned into stick figures, I don't quite recall. Regardless, it somehow dawns on me that I am dreaming.

Excited, I step out into the street, and as I walk I try to stabilize everything. I then take flight, into a kind of suburb. After a while I land, and for some reason my surroundings seem extremely familiar, like I've been here before, but I don't think I have. I see two girls nearby, and I think I ended up kissing one of them. Shortly after that my surroundings become quite foggy and strange.

In front and to my right, there's a particularly thick patch of fog I can't see through, and I decide to try diving through and to see where I'll end up. I do so, and the dream sort of goes nuts -- my surroundings turn all dark, and my vision goes to third person for a moment, then my entire field of vision turns upside down and I see myself falling. I'm not positive about how this ended, but as far as I can tell/remember I had sort of a false awakening where some voice was trying to get me to wake up, and after that I actually did wake up in real life.

I'm participating in this sort of worldwide game/contest (at times it feels like a video game, not a "real" thing), that involves accumulating treasure in a very short time, around three minutes I think. At first I see a sort of world map, and several dots indicate places where I can search for treasure. I pick one, and end up in front of some gigantic fish. It goes towards me and eats me whole.

I find myself inside the fish, wondering where I was supposed to find treasure here. After a few moments though, I realize that what the fish is eating is heading towards me, and see that it's treasure -- some kind of golden artifact is the first thing I spot. Instead of staying inside though, I decide to escape the fish. I take out a large knife I happen to have on me, and start slicing away at the "walls" around me. Eventually the fish dies, and I crawl out into some cave whose floor is covered in water.

I take a look at the fish, and realize that it has a bunch of teeth that are actually precious gems. I take my knife and start extracting them (there are about 10). After a few moments, my mom randomly arrives, and she tells me time is running out and I need to quickly grab all the gems I can and leave the cave because a rescue squad is waiting for me outside. I quickly remove the rest of the teeth/gems and start heading out.

It's late afternoon on a sunny day, and it seems I'm trying to walk home. However, I'm in some place that I don't know. The terrain is very open, green, and uneven. I find some old woman, who decides to serve as my guide and help me find my way home. I follow her all the way to some isolated stretch of land very close to a large body of water, which I apparently need to get to the other side of. For a moment, I take a look around. The water is a beautiful blue, and it has suddenly become extremely windy. I realize that I'm going to have to backtrack and walk around the body of water.

I thank the old woman for her help, and tell her I'll find my way from here, not wanting to be slowed down by her and having a rough idea of where I'm headed. As I make my way back, I encounter some sort of large wooden structure with a bunch of ramps on it, serving as a kind of bridge. However, as I start walking on it, it quickly falls apart under my weight. Soon enough, it's entirely broken, and I drop down to the ground, a foot or so below. I realize that this wooden structure was actually part of someone's garden, and perhaps some sort of thing for children to play on that I've now wrecked.

I take a look around. The garden I'm in is part of a very large house, where a party is going on. I quickly walk down some stairs towards the house, and go inside, trying to look like a guest. Once inside, I walk up a large set of stairs, and find myself face to face with the father of the family that lives there. Worried that he'll find out what I did, I try not to look suspicious, and ask him where the bathroom is. I go there, and take a leak. The bathroom door, which I closed, opens for no reason. Shortly after, I see the father just outside the bathroom, and am terrified that he's going to confront me, but he doesn't.

Instead of leaving, I decide to stick around for the party. I go back outside, where there are many people near a large pool, most seated at tables and having discussions. At this point, I seem to realize that this isn't quite real (perhaps the sight of water twice in the dream unconsciously reminded me that it's a potential dream sign of mine). I don't become fully lucid, but get a sense that nothing I do here really matters. With this in mind, I decide to mess around a bit. I randomly sit at some tables and try to barge into the conversations, or act obnoxious/awkward (eg, randomly sit between two people and rest my arms on their shoulders as if we're good friends).

After that, the party seemed to disperse, except for a few guests around a distant table that had tons of food on it. They were standing, having a quiet, sort of suspicious conversation. I ended up going near them, but I don't recall doing anything in particular.

I'm apparently a player for the Golden State Warriors, and we are having some kind of training session in a gymnasium. For reason, Yao Ming is on the team, and he has a broken left arm and is wearing a cast. I don't really recall any other specific players, besides maybe Ellis. The coach organizes a kind of practice game, I think 3on3, one weaker team (mine) against a stronger one (Yao's). I think there were a few people watching us from some windows that gave a view of the street.

We start playing, I think getting pretty handily beaten. We then reach a play where I am defending Yao, and we end up colliding hard, and we both fall to the ground. His broken arm takes a serious hit, and it seems he's badly injured. He gets carried off by medical staff I think, and the training session ends.

(There is a "trigger warning" on the content of this dream.)

I am standing at the four way intersection that leads to the dead end street I grew up on. It is night time and must be spring or autumn beccause I am wearing my warm, blue zip-up sweater, jeans, and black baseball cap. The corner of the intersection I am standing appears as it did over ten years ago when one of my old neighbour's (Mrs. Jolleff) lived there, on a quarter acre of land, in a small white house surrounded by maple trees. Not long after she died her land was sold and redeveloped into a townhouse complex. Because the area looks different than it does today I immediately become lucid.

There is no one around and not much to do so I recall learning to fly and want to give it a try. I spread my arms out and bend my knees and jump into the air. At first I am afraid of being to heavy and not being able to defy gravity (problems with flying in dreams that I have had before) but remembering this is my dream I just think of myself as weightless and I am able to float about fourty feet in the air. I then leisurely glide over the houses and tree tops towards my parent's house. As I get closer I notice that the house I grew up in and some of the houses on either side seem to exist in a void of grey fog and some facades are different that they appear in waking life and indeed when I enter the fog the outside world disappears and while it is no longer visible I can sense that it is still there, though it seems far away. I cannot make the fog go away but I can make myself invisible and see through the walls of the houses with my dream control.

My partent's house is empty of people but all of the houses to the left of their's have many people living in them, all of them people I do not know as they are not the neighbours who lived there when I was a kid. The first house to the left is empty of people but by the boxes and furniture scattered around the floors I can tell that someone has just moved in. The next house is two storeys high and each level has been split into a seperate appartment. As I slowly fly towards that house I can see a blond woman looking out the window towards me talking on the phone, but I know she cannot see me as I previously made myself invisible. I plan to make no effort to control the thoughts or actions of any character I meet in the dream because I believe they are creations straight out of my subconscious and hope they might have something interesting to say and that I might learn about myself.

I fly up to the window where blond woman is talking on the phone and childishly revel in that fact that she can't see me by making faces at her. I then fly around to the back of the house and notice through a window a dark haired man and woman dressed in stylish business clothes preparing food on the second floor. I plan to eavesdrop on them next. I fly through the wall and listen in on the blond woman's conversation. She wearing jeans and a heavy light brown sweater and her hair is shoulder length. Her apartment is sparsley decorated with things that look secondhand or very simple and homey. I cannot remember what was said now but I do recall that I found her conversation terribly uninteresting and I let myself float down through the floor to where the dair haired man and woman are. Their appartment is furnished with much nicer stuff and their is a circular glass table with wine glasses and setting for two and it looks as if they are planning a romantic dinner.

The dark haired woman is wearing a white blouse, black skirt and black high heels and her hair is pulled back into a pony tail. The man seems to have disappeared into another room for a moment while the woman is washing and cutting green and red peppers by the sink. Despite the nice surroundings and stuff the woman has a miserable look on her face and seems very unhappy. I cannot read her mind to figure out why which I find very frustrating. The man reenters the kitchen from another room and he is wearing a white shirt with black buisness pants and black tie. The woman puts down her knife and turns around to embrace him but he grabs her by the wrists, spins her around and roughly pulls up her skirt and forces her to lean over the sink. After undoing his pants he starts having sex with her from behind and demands that she continue washing and cutting the peppers while in that position. She doesn't respond verbally but I can sense that she is even more upset then before and she struggles but is not strong enough to escape the man's grip. Even though I try, my dream control won't allow me to force the man to stop or let the woman escape.

I become kind of upset myself and start to dissociate, even start to think that I want the dream to end but I hear a phone ringing in another room and go towards it. The ringing stops before I get to the phone (in an office on the other side of the appartment) and I can see a red light flashing on the display to indicate that a message has been left. I pick up the phone because I want to listen to the message (hoping that this will be something important or interesting from my unconsious - and I want to forget about the rape happening in the kitchen that I cannot stop).

The phone has so many buttons and many of them have symbols that I have no idea what they mean. I am frustrated that the phone is super complicated and has so many extra buttons that seem to do nothing. The woman in the kitchen starts screaming and I drop the phone and fly as fast as I can out of there. I am very dissociated now and cannot end the dream even though I try.

The foggy void outside has gotten thicker and darker but I can see a row of SUVs in the distance, some of which of have police lights on top but the cars are empty and seem abandoned. I notice that the home to the immediate left of my parent's house has a few lights on so I fly over there to see what's going on. While I cannot end the dream or affect that thoughs and actions of characters in the dream, I can still control my actions and inanimate objects around me. I fly into the living room of the house and see a man sitting on a recliner trying to figure out his newly hooked up cable box on his large widescreen television. Or at least that is what I think he is doing until he figures it out and violent pornography appears on the screen. The man starts masturbating and I lose interest and start flying outside but before I pass the walls of the house I hear a child crying in the basement.

I go down there and the floor is covered in discarded furniture and various basement junk but I cannot see any child even though the crying has gotten louder. I notice a set of metal grates on the cement floor, half hidden underneath a dirty mattress and some boxes. I telepathically move the junk and open the grates and discover a shallow well which contains the decaying body of a little boy. The boy is obviously dead but the crying gets louder and I use my dream control to undo the decay on the body and return the boy to life. He is surprised as first but then very scared because the man who murdered him is still upstairs. He is unable to talk but communicates telepathically and asks if I will help him sneak out of the house. I pick him up and we float up through the ceiling into the front hall of the house. Several of the SUVs I saw before have entered the foggy void and are either parked infront of the house or are driving back and forth in front of the house on a small section of road that exists within the void.

A man in dark clothing is at the front door and the word SWAT is printed on the back of this jacket. I tell the little boy that he is probably going to storm the house and arrest the man who murdered him. Instead the SWAT man knocks on the door and waits patiently for someone to answer. Because I am inpatient I use telekinesis to both swing the front door open and grab the man watching porn and force him to the front hall. I make myself (but not the little boy) visible and rat out the man for the murder. The SWAT man looks confused and says that he is there to arrest the other man for pirating cable signals with illegal cable hookups.

I use my dream control to project everything I have seen into the mind of the SWAT man and tell him that this is my dream and I want him to do something about the crimes taking place. The SWAT man responds: "There are no crimes taking place because this is only a dream." I do not know how to respond to that at first but realize that I have finally met a figure from my subconscious that might be able to give me some answers, so I then ask him: "Why do images like these appear in my dreams? What am I supposed to learn from them?" SWAT man responds: "You cannot learn on the subconscious level that which you have not learned on the conscious level."

I ask him to clairfy but the dream suddenly... I don't know how to describe this, um, explodes or rips apart. I am still aware that I am in a dream but have lost my control and it feels like some outside force has grabbed the foggy void and is tearing it to peices. The characters arround me are violently pulled into dark holes and tears that have suddenly appeared and the structures and setting disintegrate and are sucked into invisible voids. Everything is pulverized and disappears and a horrible feeling of dread overcomes me and I feel like there is an army of demons standing on my chest, though I am able to end the dream and wake up before anything more freaky happens.

July Double ToTM Completion (DEILD)

★★★☆☆

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Keeping still, I perform another WILD. . .

Success!

Without hesitation, I get out of bed and make my way outside. Oddly, there seems to be three doors hinged to my front doorway. Opening all of them, I'm greeted by a shining sun and people all about my court. I pass one guy with a shaved head and notice an orange armband.

"Humans vs. Zombies?" I ask him. He responds by putting his finger to his mouth and shushing me as he runs behind my house to hide. "Weirdo." I mutter when he's out of earshot. There are a bunch of other players scattered about my neighborhood including some of my friends, but I figured HvZ could wait a bit, I had some tasks to carry out.

Deciding to clone myself first, I walk to the middle of my court, do some random hand signs, and shout "Tajuu--Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" I hear the familiar popping noise around me as hundreds of clones are created in a puff of grey smoke. I take a look at them, and sure enough, they're me. However, they're all wearing the same ugly orange blazer and a dirty green headband. Great. I've created a mass of egotistical, fashion-challenged, zombies. Might as well have some fun with them.

Using my mind and a tad of willpower, I force all of them to attack me at once. As they converge I punch the first to reach me in the face, while roundhouse kicking the clone on my other side. I use the the momentum I generate with that to drop to the ground and knock a few clones down by sweeping out their footing. "You're still a Zed now," one of the clones remarked.

"Crap! You're right!" I exclaim, beaten at my own game. Well, then this next bit is for the horde! I think excitedly, willing my hundreds of clones to disperse and tag all the remaining humans. The game was over in less than a minute, which left me time enough to do the basic task as well.

Digging into my pocket, I find my wallet, my car keys, and--there it is--my cell phone. Pulling it out, I open it up and hit send twice. The creepy phone lady informs me that this is not a phone number I'm calling, but some kind of app center. I end the call, and hit send again, scrolling through the list of available names. I notice one contact called 'a human' so I figured I'd go for that one. The phone rings a few times before someone picks up.

"Hello?" a muffled voice on the other end asks.

"Hi! Who is this?"

"It's me, RTN."

"Oh, didn't I see you playing in the game?"

"Yeah, I'm right over here, dummy."

Looking over to the main street I see RTN on his cell phone, accompanied by his girlfriend DTZ. I close my phone and wave over to him, but he's still upset by the shenanigans I had just pulled.

Dream Lucid Comment

I was laying down in on my bed, in my room. It was very dark but I could still pick up the shadows and shapes etc. I thought I will try have a WILD so I went to grab my drink but I got disstracted by a weird shadow on the wall, it was in the shape of a lizard when I woke up.

RC + Drink then back to sleep for me!

I was back in my room, it was sort of sunny outside so I decided to get out of bed. I walk into the living room and see my friend texting someone on his phone. I turn around and look out the window behind me and see the sun but I also see the shadow of a person moving along the ground, I turn to my friend "WTF... Did you hear my mum get up?"
He did not reply so I waited to see the person, it was some Indian lady wearing a purple head thingy (Sorry, forgot the name) and in a white dress. I thought nothing of it, she just calmly walked around the cars and looked and smiled at me as she went out of my view "WTF.." I think to myself as I'm walking back to my room.
In my room I laid back down and was going to try WILD when the thing on my wall caught my eye again so I decide to investigate. I take a look at it, it has a brown furry body like a tiny gecko with a moles head "Awesome... never seen one of these before!" I poke my head out my door "COREY!!! Come check this out!"
I hear my brother come running "What? What?"
He looks at the thing on my wall and his mouth drops in awe "Wha... What is it?"
"I have no clue but he is mine now"

The scene changes

Now me and my brother are sitting down next to my bed observing the animal/insect, it is now like a bigger lady bug with 10cm high whiskers. "Must be a Wombat!" My brother says.
I look at him weirdly and look back at the thing, it is now just a bigger lady bug, everything is the same just overgrown. I tell my brother to get out but he refuses, we get into a big arguement about how come he should stay and observe. He finally gives up and puts hand down to get up... Squashing the coolest thing I've ever found! I begin to get teary as I wake up.

RC + Drink

I tried to WILD but failed + This dream has a long boring part which I will cut out.

I'm standing in my room, it is really dark again but this time I can barely see anything. I hear a noise... someone is in here with me and I begin to get scared. I see a few sparks when a green flare is lit and my whole room is illuminated, I see the man who had just lit it he turns to me and says "We're watching you, always have and always will" I get scared when there is a...

Scene Change

I'm standing near my dresser and it is fairly bright outside. I look down and see my ipod touch and decide to play some Megadeth. I select it but no sound comes out "Weird.. oh I didn't turn it up"
I click the button on the side multiply times when the music goes Extremely loud but I turn it down as quickly as it went up "Wtf... they don't go that loud.. I must be dreaming!" I look around and am excited about being lucid "Wait.. better RC!" I pinch my nose and breathe in. I look at my hands which both have 5 fingers so I decide to do the RC with my finger through my hand (I've never done it before and was wondering what it felt like) with a wriggle and a push my finger goes through. I moved my finger while through my hand and I could feel the bone so I just pulled it out and went outside. I started running screaming out how I'm going to fly but when I jump I fail, so I try to make someone appear "When I turn around CT will be standing there!" but I turn around to no CT. "Hmm.. I should ring her" I pull out my phone and it was already calling her.
"Hey where are you?"
"At school, where you should be!"
"What.. it has just started holidays.. tripping balls much?"
"Fuck you then" she hangs up.
"Well I'll be damned, shes not happy..."
I look around to see if she was hiding but when I turn around I'm getting chased by Bees "Bees... WTF!! Why are they chasing me?" I'm flailing my arms around in the air like a maniac as I head for the door.
Inside I go looking for my mum so the first place I check is her room and she is there "Mum, how can I find someone in a dream?"
She looks confused and says "Like everything, the net"
I look down at my hands to RC cause I could feel I was waking up when I got distracted thinking about how to find someone over the internet like my mum said. The I woke up.

Teleporting is hard.

I'm standing by a river. The sky is bright blue, and the dry grass is long and yellow. I'm looking up at the sky, staring at an illusion that's some kind of sculpture, a clue into my quest during this dream. (This was a long and meandering dream, but I don't remember most of it.

I'm the producer for a play. It's going well, but during the middle of it, Harley Quinn and the Joker show up and start dancing. The crowd cheers, and I'm not sure if this is part of the play or if the characters actually showed up.

"Write as if it was my plan all along." - written in journal

There's a parkour club in Quickton. I tag along.

I'm Harry Potter, fighting Voldemort. He sends me into an alternate dimension, and I have to get back to my friends. There are death eaters in the buildings around us, raining down stunning spells as if they're snipers. "If you get hit seven times, you're dead," says my companion. I deliberately get hit by stunning spells, counting, and they send me back to the previous dream.

The windows are leaking. We have to stop it because the magic could get in. We're holding the building against Voldemort, but it's going to be destroyed soon anyway, so we do a quick job. Hermione staples stucco wire under the windows, and I use an air nailer to keep the frame in place. The way that I'm holding it in the dream would probably break my hand IWL.

I'm either Harry or Voldemort, fighting the other one. "Expelliarmus! Expelliarmus! Expelliarmus!" I shout, matching the other character spell for spell, effectively blocking them. I realize I'm probably Voldemort. "Avada Kedavra!" Seriously, these spells are kind of hard to remember.

One of Ben's friends, a guy my age, is pissed because I just told him off for something. He throws a few punches my way, but always misses. He attacks me in earnest, throwing punches hard and fast. I block them easily, redirecting them in circles. One punch hits me, but I barely feel it. The guy is getting more and more frustrated.

Finally, my brother pulls him off me, and we go rob a grocery store.

FA. I wake up in a house that resembles my rental in Squamish. Ben and my cousin Reg are in the basement. I look at my right hand and count my fingers. They're blurry, and my fourth and fifth fingers keep fading into one another. Weird. This doesn't feel like a dream. I try to remember a more dependable RC, and pinch my nose. I can still breathe, but shouldn't I be able to anyway? No, wait. I have my mouth closed. I really am dreaming. I wonder if the boys are gonna go all nightmarish on me.

I think back to my lucid goals. 1) Talk to a DC on a phone. 2) Find Hazel. 3) Teleport. I go to pick up the landline, but change my mind and grab my cell phone beside my bed. I call someone; I don't remember who. I talk to them and hang up. I type into my contacts for Hazel, but the number isn't there. I phone information, ask for Hazel. The woman on the other end tells me crabbily that there are a lot of Hazels in the world, which one do I want?

"The one from DreamViews, obviously."

"This number is not in service."

It's night outside. My mom is sitting in the car, apparently waiting for Ben. She has some weird emo-style haircut, and I'd be more weirded out if I didn't know this was a dream. I use telekinesis to lift up the fringe over her eye, checking for zombieness. Obviously, I'm not completely lucid. Ben leaves the house, catches a ride with my mom.

Reg is still here. I have my hand outstretched, focusing on wherever Hazel might be. I'm trying to draw myself there so I can teleport. I turn around briefly.

"How do I teleport?" I ask the DC.

"How the hell should I know?" asks Reg. He pauses and sighs, "Just... stay like that for a while. Until you wake up."

"Or it works?"

"Like hell."

The dream starts fading into different solid colours, and I wake up back in the Squamish-room.

I hand check again. Most of my fingers are missing. I pinch my nose. Still dreaming.

I go outside and there are a bunch of dogs on the porch. There are also a bunch of people talking about their pets.
