lucid

Becoming Canadian:
I was becoming a canadian citizen. I was in some class and they were teaching us what to say and preparing us for the ceremony. Next thing I know, we are at the ceremony. We were with some kids and then each one of us took a kid's hand and walked by themselves. The hall was big and I think we were going to the stage or at least to the seats.



There was a lot of people and a song that went like: "This time will be happy", "This time will be of joy".

Weather Changing and Modifying Elements:
I was at work and the weather seemed to be changing quite rapidly. It was very bright, likely hot and was pretty calm outside. Next minute, it's pretty dark and getting to be stormy.



Looking outside the large windows from the counter, I notice what appears to be kids in a far away building screaming, happy that there is a storm coming. I see a couple outside the store and they are running to the sidewalk. I think "Good thing they are near the store". The dream skips and I am sitting with some workers who I don't recognize from RL. They seem to be eating cupcakes and are sitting near the door of the room. I inquire about the cupcakes and they say that they were given to them and that I shouldn't take one of the pink-iced cupcakes from the stack across the room.



Dream skips again and I recall being in my bedroom. I might have just woken up and I notice the dark, stormy weather outside from my window. I am already lucid and I decide to exit my room and go to see myself in the washroom. I walk out of my bedroom and into the washroom. I face the mirror and turn on the lights. I see a quick glimpse of myself before the lights go off. Once again, I turn them back on and they go off again. I turn them on for a third time and this time, they stay on. I looked pretty normal in my reflection aside from my really messy hair. I didn't get a good look at what I was wearing or how the washroom looked, although from what I recall, it looked pretty similar to RL. I didn't want to spend all my time infront of the mirror, so, I continued my way down the stairs. Some lady came up the stairs and I dealt with her. I continued my descent down the stairs to our dark living room. I was still on the stairs when I heard my little brother yell out as if someone was bugging him. It looked like he was sleeping on the mattress in the living room and was having some kind of a dream about someone bugging him. My sister suddenly appears and is running down the stairs. I remember wanting to make her lucid as a recent goal of mine and tell her she is, but, she just dismisses it and run towards my brother. As soon as she is within the range of the mattress, she jumps onto the mattress as he sleeps on it. Of course, he yells for her to get off. I ignored them and wasn't too fond of the dark atmosphere and environment. I thought that if I step out, I might have to fight some monster, so, I imagined a green meadow that stretched for miles with the bright yellow sun shining overhead.



I proceeded to open the door and decided to step outside. I didn't have shoes on and was worried about stepping into some glass on the sidewalk, but, I dismissed this concern because this was a dream, so, I just had to create some kind of barrier beneath my feet to prevent such accidents. I imagined a silver sheet underneath both feet and when I felt pretty confident of my success, I stepped outside. The neighbourhood looked pretty similar to mine in RL and I was able to walk easily on the sidewalk, not feeling any terrain from what I recall, rather the sidewalks felt pretty smooth. It was lovely weather outside as well. I saw a really small rusted airplane in one of my neighbour's yards which would fit one person inside. I walked over to it to look at it and it reminded me of the airplanes one flies in the BF1942 game. I couldn't make out what was written on it, it was a blur and I didn't think about increasing clarity. It didn't have a tail, just some small wings and I couldn't see the head of it.



A guy came by on some contraption on the sidewalk and a truck just entered my neighbourhood and was about to drive past me. I ended up freezing the guy by pointing my finger at him and I decided to drop a cage on the truck. I think I originally wanted to drop a cage on him as well. Whether the cage actually dropped on the truck, I would never know since I directed my attention towards the plane, but, on the other hand, the guy was frozen in time and was only moving his eyes. I was standing behind the plane's two exhaust pipes which looked similar to a rockets' and decided to repair it to use it to fly. I pointed my finger at it thinking about it getting repaired and both exhaust pipes turned brown to signal that the repair is in progress. I wanted it done and didn't want to wait any longer, so, I decided that by the time I finish my count starting at 5 and going down to 0, it would be repaired. When the counting was done, the pipes turned back to the black color they once were and it looked to be in working condition. I wanted to pilot it and was planning to get in. I might have even gotten in because next thing I know, I am awake in bed with my eyes closed and I was thinking about piloting it.

Thoughts: Finally, I have had another lucid. I couldn't recall how I became lucid, but, possibly awareness and my meditation last night might have helped. It wasn't my shortest or longest either. Would be nice to get another one tonight or within this week with greater lucidity First dream wasn't too bad, wish I got the rest of the song though. It does seem to be quite catchy as well

Talking with a deceased family member (DEILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Not one of my best nights. My recall was not very efficient like usual. However, I still managed to get four dreams (two fragmented). The last dream was lucid, and one of the important personal memorable goal ones. I had a fifth dream, DEILDed from it for the lucid and I forgot the dream, only remembered the second in the chain (A few nights ago I chained three dreams and recalled all three, so I guess I lost it due a low recall night)

Fourth of the night:

I remembered a long dream and I was recalling it to write it down. I opened my eyes but closed them immediately because I felt like I was in trance. I started to feel vibrations around my body. I knew what was coming so I did not bother in writing the other dream. I started to focus on a Colosseum hoping I would appear in the Roman Age to participate in a gladiator fight. The vibrations increased intensity and I start to hear a strong buzzing. It was not usual for a WILD and it looked more like the beginning of an Astral Projection. I focused on my Astral Body instead and I was ready to separate and transfer consciousness to my Astral Body.
I was in my room. I was not floating in my bed and I did not feel like I was Astral Projecting. I was able to recall that being APing feels different. However, I was not 100% sure. Everything was a neat copy from waking. I knew I could have not fail due the vibrations and buzzing. I went to my bathroom and my wife was there. I was silent and I stopped in front of her. She looked at me and smiled at me. I kept standing there and she sent me a kiss.
I realized she was able to see me, so I was not in my Astral Body. I was wondering how come I failed that. I went to my room to lay down to attempt to recall more details from my recent dreams. I saw that my cat was all black and had become a kitten. "Aha! This is not my cat! I am dreaming!" I looked at my hands and they looked OK. I then pinched my nose and I was able to breath. The vividness of the dream increased and I left the bedroom.
I was in my living room next to the door to leave my place. I saw half x-mas tree in the floor and some other debris. I was in my shorts but I did not care. I said, "I am lucid, so see you later. I have stuff to do." My wife did not answer or I left too fast.

When I exited my place, I was in a different neighborhood. It was more like the neighborhood were my wife takes care of a kid to help out a family. It was very sunny and there were no cars in the street. I started to fly pretty high. I was wondering if it was not too soon to fly as I just started my lucid. But I realized that flying is something I am very used to do in my lucids and I could fly without any major effort that would provoke a premature awakening.

While I was flying I remembered I could complete one of the Tasks of the Year. However, I saw a few DC around and I decided to do something different.

I landed and I said, "I want to talk with my wife's mom. I do not want a DC but her real mom!" Suddenly, a lady popped out from nowhere and said, "Who called me?" I approached her and she asked me, "Who are you. You sound familiar." I told her I am her daughter husband. I described her to my wife and my wife told me that the description matched perfectly.
My wife's mom approached me and hugged me. She started to kiss my chicks and she got very emotional. I was moving my eyes around because it was a short distanced and not moving me eyes would terminate the dream.
My wife mom said, "I want you to say to Ana that I am very happy and fine. I feel great and she does not have to worry about me. I love her and I am very happy that she feels great with her life." I told her that my wife missed her and she replied, "Let her know I am feeling great. She has not to worry about me." She gave me more kisses and hugs. I pulled out my pendant and I told her, "See. I am wearing it!" She recognized it as hers and she smiled. She had a similar one as well.

She gave me a stronger hug and I only could see her. I started to see the dream fade, but I did not feel like spinning with my wife's mom hugging me. As the dream was fading more, my wife's mom vanished into me. I woke up.

Dream Signs missed:
- None

Dream Signs Noticed:
- I owned a different cat.

Reality Check Performed:
- Nose pinch.

Okay, so I had one major goal last night, and that was finding my friend M. He complained that he has been having nightmares. I told him that he needed to focus on the Koi Pond in the bio-dome on the moon and that I would try to meet him there.


Finding M
I focused on the bio-dome. More importantly I focused on the Koi Pond. I was trying to find M. I could feel the dream fading. I focused it by rubbing my hands together. It helped. I walked over to the bench and sat down. I figured it might take M a while to get there as it was his first attempt at reaching the moon. It didn't even occur to me that I should go find him. I had confidence in his ability to get here.

I suddenly felt a presence standing over me. It was somewhat eerie and I stood and turned around. Standing there was M. I gave him a hug and told him we would see about his nightmare problem. He hugged me tightly saying it was good to see me again. I grab his hand and am getting ready to teleport us to his world when everything fades to black, and I don't mean the dream was lost. I mean there is a big black hole where the rest of it is supposed to be. It's not even a dream recall issue as I can usually recall small vibrations of the dream. Now, there is nothing. Not even a hint as to what happened. All I know is somewhere I lost him and my lucidity, but retained my goal. It is in the next segment.

Into the Old Life....
I am driving my dad's truck. We are in a parking lot. It is overly bright and I slide my sunglasses on. I am steering around other cars that are parked, and even being worked on. I narrowly avoid missing hitting someone that stepped right out in front of me. I cursed at the idiot that must have been trying to kill themselves. I finally make it home.

I then am riding my bike to school. It is high school and is like I have gone back in time. I don't think anything of this, but I just keep going on my way. There is construction all around town. I get to school, which is more of a warehouse. One of my teachers, Ms. S, is looking at soda. It is a big shipment. Several of us are joking around when someone hands out some fliers about going to Rwanda. I feel that there is something I need to be doing. I suddenly want to find my friend M. For some strange reason I feel he is in Rwanda. I volunteer to go. The flier updates itself and now reads that 25 people have signed up. I am getting my gear together when I hear my dad say... "Its time to get up."

I guess I will have to try and find him again tonight!

Lucid dream
Duration: Short - Medium

I went outside to give a walk. I was in a city. (I dont live in a city but didnt notice that) Then in a while I was in another city! (still didnt notice that) I saw a friend of mine with his dad (dont remember much in this part) a drunk man who was yelling at me. Then I see my dad in a bar and he takes me by car to "home". While in the car I pinched my nose and become lucid! I exited the car and I headed to the building's cafe. There I tried to summon a magic lamp and i was successfull this time! I grabbed it and a genie didnt show up! A cloud appeared saying that I was in queue WTF xD then he appeared and I wished 100 wishes (yay) and he granted then to me. Then I said "stop time!" (dammit forgot to say "I wish") and the DC started to dramatize slow motion but they stopped. Wasnt much interested on experimenting the wishes there and I started to explore the rooms. The first room I enter I see my friend. When I was going to compliment her the dream vanished and I woke up

Damn next time Im gonna wish something like to be in the dream for 30 minutes or for a long time just to see what happens.

Lucid dream
Duration: Short - Medium

I was in game which envolved Asterix and Obelix and I had already finished it(I could even see the minimap lol)Then I headed to talk with some random guy to make something random. I could only remember that he was short. Then he transport us into my bedroom. He grabs my alto saxophone's case and I grab my tenor saxophone's case, that were inside my wardrobe. when we enter the kitchen to go outside I hear someone entering the house (another door and then the guy seems to disappear) And I hided behind the fridge with the case on my hand waiting for that subject to enter the kitchen and to smash him with the case. Then I hear the door opening, I start to run and jump, then I realized it was my dad! (it seemed to be very 4.00 AM) He told to me that he spoke to me a while before by phone and that I told him I was alright. I thought "I didnt spoke to him him... No way!!" then I pinched my nose and I realized that I was lucid! Then I had some problems on stabilizing the dream but I made it, I could feel my hands rubbing each other for the first time in a dream! Then I went out of the kitchen and it was now (seemed to be 12.00AM) and there was a very large and roundish pool in my garden. It was similar to this 1:
My cousin and my sister were in it, playing with each other. I tried to feel the water with my foot but I couldnt but I wasnt interested on trying to feel it. I wanted to fly but I couldnt... Then I tried to summon a magic lamp but I accidentaly closed my eyes and exited the dream Then I heard my cousi and sister playing with each other voices, and focusing on then allowed me to enter the dream again! It was different now there were a old platform of wood suspened by my house and my neighbour's house like on assassins creed. My dad and my cousins were fixing a wall. I tried to fly again and I shout "IMA THE SUPER MAN!!" and I started to fly very fast, so fast that past some 3-4 seconds I woke up

Dont know if it was from the excitement or if it was from the light that was passing through my window...

Note: Tonight I have noticed that my list of goals doesn't seem to be shrinking any even as I complete some of my goals… I'm adding them as quickly as I can complete them! First was to pick up MoSh and do some training with Vegeta, who has said I can use my WILD's for other things and try to train in a DILD, but I don't trust my DILD's to be consistent enough to make sure I get any training in. This training session was a lot like others, so I won't go into extreme detail, just to put we did some speed trials to continue increasing our speed, then trained with swords against each other, together against one stronger opponent, and together against a large number of opponents. Vegeta said both of us are showing a lot of improvement in a short period of time. Other goals included the continuing attempt at a shared DDO dream, finding Xildron, and the next task of the year which is showing humans how to make fire. My WILD was taken up with Vegeta, the rest of the night was fragmented, but here it is…

*Xildron*
I was lucid and I was working on my goal to find Xildron. I don't remember the beginning of this dream nor how I became lucid, and that really isn't important to the part of the dream I remember, anyway. I was in the break room at my school surrounded by other students. Dennis was bugging me. He was saying something about opening interdimensional portals in games. I told him I could open a real interdimensional portal, but he didn't seem to believe me. I really didn't care. Nick was saying there are only two dimensions to work with and he had already seen both of them. I also ignored Nick as I focused my mind on finding Xildron. I focused on the description Walms had given me about Xildron… I focused on both the description of the human Xildron had been changed into at the same time as I focused on the dragon he was supposed to be. I realized I didn't even know for sure what kind of energy he used, dark or light… I had been assuming Xildron used dark like Walms, but then again everyone knows what three words make up the word assume… ass-you-me. I focused more on the description and the situation than on the energy form since I wasn't sure. I was only vaguely aware of Dennis and Nick bugging me and asking what I was doing, I heard someone say I looked constipated… and finally a portal opened. That left the people around me all stunned. I ignored their stupid reactions and went into the portal, hoping to find Xildron on the other side of it. I exited the portal and had a look around. I barely got a chance to register that there was a red sky before I was hit in the face with a huge blast of energy that pushed me back through the portal. Witchblade formed instantly to protect me, but I was still pushed back into the break room of my school where both Dennis and Nick had been peering into my portal after me… and of course I crashed into both of them with intense force, slamming them through the next wall… and they had no Witchblade to protect them. I stood up and saw Dennis and Nick were sprawled at weird angles on the floor, they looked dead. My only thought was, "What the fuck was that?!"

*I Have a Gambling Problem*
I was supposed to go to school. I didn't feel like going. I had some extra time, and I wanted to do something else. The last thing I wanted to do was show up early for a class I hated. My ethics class was where I was supposed to be going, and it was the last place I wanted to go. I stopped at an arcade, thinking maybe there was a video game in there that might distract me for a bit and get me relaxed before I had to go to that horrible class. The arcade was huge, rows and rows of arcade games, all making beeps, buzzes, other strange noises, and loud music. I walked down the aisle and saw numerous games that I really wanted to play, but there was only one problem… the games were all so expensive! I had some money, but I didn't have nearly enough to get any significant play out of any of the games. Maybe one play and then I would be flat broke. I continued wandering through the arcade, feeling more annoyed rather than more relaxed as I had intended, and then I found a slot machine. Weird… I looked at a few of the units and noticed something weird about one of them. The cover to the wheels where the symbols showed up was cracked. It was just possible to get something in there… I was able to push a pencil through and move the wheels with the eraser part… and select what symbols appeared. Hmmm… I put some money in and pulled the lever. The colorful symbols flashed by on the wheels until they finally stopped, with a spot where I knew I had won nothing. I moved one of the wheels by one symbol so that I would at least win something. Money came out into the tray; it had accepted the new position as the final position even though I had cheated! I looked around and did that a few more times. Each time I did it I managed to win a small amount. I didn't want to get greedy with this since I was cheating, but it seemed they were also cheating by charging such outrageous prices for their games. I collected my quarters and then I stopped… I hadn't even thought about there possibly being video cameras there… what if I had been seen? Might security guards be coming for me even now? Shit! I practically ran down the aisles and between the game consoles and out into the parking lot, half surprised that I made it all the way. I got in my car and left, expecting to be followed at any minute…

*Down With the Sickness II*
I was at my new job, which strangely enough, was at a lab doing research work even though my education is in computer operations and game design. That didn't seem strange to me in the dream, though. It seemed completely normal. I was looking through a microscope, watching a virus… the virus was on the viewing slide with some blood cells.

Small pieces of the virus kept breaking off, and then those pieces touched another cell, that cell became a viral cell. That meant it spread very fast, and in almost no time at all it had consumed every single healthy cell on the slide. There were people who had this virus. My goal was to help find an antidote… a vaccine… something that could save those who were sick and prevent more people from becoming sick. It was one nasty bug, I had also discovered it is easily transmitted from person to person, or to other animals, through the air… it was airborne… and just inhaling a single cell could prove fatal since it reproduced so quickly. This virus was so easily passed from one person or animal to another that merely having the virus land on your skin can prove fatal since the virus immediately attacks the skin cells… I put on a biohazard suit and went into a treatment room where there were people with various stages of the disease, we were trying different treatments that looked promising, but nothing had worked. I returned to the lab after checking on the patients. When I took off my biohazard suite, I found there was a hole in the suit… right over the left elbow… there was no way I could have not been exposed. I looked at my arm, I was sure that was where the infection would start… and there was nothing to be done for it. I went to the sink and scrubbed the area with anti-viral soap… but I was sure that wouldn't help, my cells were already being infected, it was just a matter of time before I would die… or maybe not! My first thought was to just give up, but that wasn't going to happen. No chance. I would resist this sickness through sheer strength of will! I was not going to die!

Slept between 0300-1000
Found out that lucid weaver's alarm rings don't ring if the phone is on silent... : I forgot to turn my phone back on normal, last night

Work fragment
First bit of the dream had to do with food. Then being on the phone with Rachel (boss), and also something regarding Elijah (co-worker).

Weird dream
I remember sleeping. I woke up into the dream. I'm living with my parents, but we are in a house different than my RL one.

[Dr. House]
House approaches my boyfriend and I. "I've found the answer to my problem!" he says.
"He's so cute," I think.
"I'm evicting you!" House says.
"WHAT?!"
"I'm evicting you. That's the answer to my problem," he says, matter of factly.
"You know, we're paid up in full, so you have to give us 30 days notice, at least."
"Sure, whatever," he says.

[Living with the ex]
Somehow, my ex, Joe, learns about my plight. He invites Jack, my mum and myself to live with him in his basement. I don't remember much about this scene, other than him getting the wrong idea about something (like me putting the moves on him?) and me pointing out that I wouldn't be doing that, especially with my boyfriend living with us, too!

[Going out]
I've just woke up again. I find that mum and Jack are going out to Walmart. They were going to leave without me, cos they knew I just woke up and hadn't ate yet. I said I didn't care, if they could wait 5 minutes, I'll get dressed. I didn't want to be left alone with my ex.

[Kinky shop]
I must've gotten left alone anyways, because I next found myself in a very kinky shop. I became barely semi-lucid... I remember thinking to myself, "I don't want to buy anything kinky, because I don't want to journal it!" I found this other bit in the store where they were selling sleep masks. They were supposed to be those ones that are really, really good and completely blacks out the sun, even if you're staring at it. I was holding them in my hands when I woke up.

this one was strange. before i went to bed, i fixated in my mind that when i became lucid, i would try to find my dream guide. the dream took place in a mall, where i was trying to hide from someone, i think it was a small, blue, alien sort of thing, i dont know what it was. i escaped it, but after a memory gap im back in the mall, trying to hide from it again. i then start becoming lucid, right in the middle of dream thinking lol. it was like "man, i have to get away from that, and-i-am-dreaming, great!". i then went to the nearest bathroom, started to go into the boys bathroom, but then i remembered that somewhere i read that dream guides are usually the opposite sex, so i went into the girls bathroom instead lol. i passed this girl looking at herself in the mirror and stood in front of a bathroom stall. i then said to myself, "when i open this door, my dream guide will be there...". but when i opened it, it was empty. i must not have believed it enough or something. so i turned around and decided to ask the girl if she was my dream guide lol. but when i did, an officer of some kind came in and grabbed me lol. thats all i remember.

Non REM lucid???? Instant Projection???? FA??? What happened! (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Fourth night in a row with +6 dreams recalled. I think I am getting into my goal of 5-6 dreams recalled per single night. I've been recalling a minimum of 2-3 dreams for over a month! So I am super happy. Not the best night dream-wise though.
First of the night.

I was lying down in my bed and I could see perfectly. I was wearing my total blackness glasses so it had to be a dream to be able to see through them. I heard a voice that whispered in my ear, "You are a genius" I then, was able to see in a 360 degrees radius like if it was an Astral Projection. I suddenly saw a black shadow, it was more of a presence rather than a shadow. I guess it was a dream and not an Astral Projection because it did not feel like in an Astral Projection. It did not feel either like in my regular lucids. But I was fully conscious that I was not awake. I could not move from bed. The shadow did not want to attack me, it was just there, walking up and down my room. I decided to wake myself up. I knew I was not in a REM so it would end soon anyway.

I had a false awakening. I was still paralyzed but I could still see through my glasses. Not as clearly as in the lucid or whatever-it-was. It was not as if I had no glasses like in the lucid, but I could see the shape of my hand. I was bugged and I took my glasses off. I was awakened...

This was very odd. I am very focused in increasing my regular recall from 3-4 dreams a night to 5-6 a night. I am also focused in getting at least one lucid per night or every two nights (so far so good) and also I am focused in Astral Projection. I have been thinking about dream sharing as well. However, as soon as I went to bed, I felt tired so I just planned to fall asleep. I did not attempt WILD nor Astral Projection. I know I was meditating and I fell asleep instantly. I also asked my wife in the morning and she confirmed me I fell asleep as soon as I touched the pillow, so it was not a massive Hypnagogic Hallucition.

Missed Dream Signs:

07/14/10

I'm running through a room with a sword, slashing at zombies. I feel like Zorro, only with more stabbing.

An allied DC gets grabbed. I slice apart the zombie holding him, but I scratch him with my blade. We hope for the best.

He thinks something might happen to me. I make an offhand comment, "I don't die." I'm not worried about myself.

I step into the next room. The door slams shut behind us.

I don't have my sword. A voice informs me that I'll have to meet its challenge, or the zombies on the other side of the room will be set free. A handful of neon orange-pink guitar picks appear in my hands. I have to throw them into a 3-inch gap on the other side of the room, in front of the zombies.

I throw two, but they go wild. The creepy childlike voice informs me that if I miss again, we're all going to die.

I hold one pick in the palm of my hand. I will it to float, and slowly send it toward the bucket. It lands perfectly.

I grin at the creepy ghostlike girl that appears out of the wall. She gestures sullenly toward another door and it opens with a creak.

"At least this isn't a dream," I say to my partner, "If it was, I'd have to wake myself up. I have a doctor's appointment in the morning."

I stop and feel for dreaminess. "And now I'm lucid," I say. "I really ought to wake up, though."

I focus on dismantling the dream, aiming for a new location. We'll see if this works...

---

False awakening. I beg a friend for a ride to work. Apparently, I work at a pizza place part-time. News to me.

One of the managers says that the new guy seems depressed and it's all my fault. I sigh, and go over to talk to the guy, who's standing in the kitchen.

"Look, it's not that I don't like you." I lie, "I just move around so much, I don't like getting close to people." I kindly leave out the fact that I'm friends with the DC managers, owner, and various and sundry employees.

The creepy fucker smiles at me. I really want to punch him in the face.

Zombies. Scare Factor: 4.

Note: These are some dreams where I don't remember the entire thing from beginning to end, these are basically fragments that I remember.

*Damned Templars!*
I was in my front yard and I was lucid, though I don't know how I became lucid, I just was. I remembered the goal I had was to locate Xildron so I could try to heal him and change him back to his dragon form. The portal I opened was directed to locate Xildron, it took a few minutes, but it finally opened and I went into it. Everything was going normally until there appeared to be some kind of explosion right in the middle of my wormhole, and I was thrown out of it and onto a gray dusty surface like that of the moon. I immediately jumped up and looked around to see where I had landed. It didn't look like Earth's moon at all, there was a bright blue star shining in the sky, and I could see a giant ringed planet that the moon was orbiting around. Another thing I saw was that I was completely surrounded by Templars, several of them were chuckling at me, a few others looked annoyed, a couple of them looked like they were scared… Those assholes had interrupted my search for Xildron!

I was really too pissed off at them to think about what their reason for stopping me was, whether it was deliberately to keep me from reaching Xildron or if it was not related to that search. The Templars moved to attack me, and I attacked them at the same time, forming Witchblade into a sword and cutting the first couple that came at me clean in half. The ones who had been laughing were no longer amused, the ones who looked pissed were attacking me more aggressively, and the ones who had appeared afraid had actually turned around and run for it. I took care of the ones attacking me with a blast of flames that tracked in on each one of them. The Templars were all consumed in flames, tendrils from Witchblade reached out and grabbed the ones running away, wrapping around them and crushing them to death. Those stupid Templars always get in the way at the wrong time!

*So Very Angry*
Alicia and I were walking through the swap meet looking at the various things that were for sale there. Most everything I saw there was junk, something I wouldn't take home even if the seller paid me to take it. The reflection of sunlight off of metal drew my attention into a jewelry shop. Alicia followed me as I went inside to browse the items that were for sale within. Trash. That's what they were selling, shelves and shelves of trash, plastic rings, candy necklaces, kid's jewelry that was so obviously fake that it wasn't even funny. So what was it that had drawn my attention from so far away? Just then, I saw the sunlight reflecting off of a piece of jewelry on a display near the outside of the seller's stall. I went over and looked at what turned out to be a bracelet with beautiful blue stones around it. There was a second silver bracelet there that looked like a southwestern design. I thought I might want one of those. I wanted to browse a bit more. I looked around the rest of the booth, then came back to choose a bracelet, the blue one. Both were gone. I asked where they had gone. Alicia said she had bought them. Both of them?! She said yes. I got pissed, I was yelling at her and saying she had taken everything worth buying in the store. She said it wasn't everything… I asked the shop owner if they had any more decent jewelry. She said no. I yelled at Alicia some more about taking all of it, I was pissed… I yelled at her a lot more, told her she should give me one of the bracelets since I had found them first, hand over the blue one, you bitch! You selfish bitch! Alicia turned and left the store in tears, leaving me thinking I had been too hard on her over a small issue and wondering why I had gotten so angry.

*Don't Brush Your Hair With a Toothbrush!*
I was in an apartment with a man, I don't know who he was. I had the idea it was a temporary arrangement due to some natural disaster. I watched him get up one morning and go into his bathroom. He didn't close the door because he wasn't using the toilet. I saw he was grooming himself. He shaved most of his beard off, leaving only sideburns there. Didn't he know those were out of style? It didn't really matter. I wasn't the fashion police… The man made a strange face of frustration as he tried to get his sideburns to lie down properly and was totally unsuccessful, the more he messed with them the more they wanted to stand up. Finally he got a smirk on his face. He took his toothbrush from a drawer, wet it, and began brushing his sideburns with his toothbrush… um… yuck… I wondered why he was doing that, although it became quickly clear that the attempt was a success. He smirked as he made the hair lie down exactly how he wanted it to. He then proceeded to brush his teeth with the same toothbrush… definite yuck. I left to the kitchen to make some breakfast. A short time later, the man came out and asked if I could please fix him eggs, since I do such a good job. He smiled broadly… and all of his teeth were covered in rot… yuck! I told the man he shouldn't brush his hair with a toothbrush unless he wanted the lice to eat his teeth.

*Down With the Sickness*
I was in my bedroom getting ready to go to school. I rolled out of bed and went to the other room. I had my breakfast as usual, heated up a frozen egg, cheese, and sausage muffin, then went around and hugged on each of my cats. They were all soft, cuddly, and sweet as usual. There was nothing going on that even vaguely indicated this was not a completely normal day. That is everything was normal until I went into the bathroom to take care of doing my hair for the day. I noticed it looked strangely out of place, not like it normally does first thing in the morning. My hair is short, so there is usually very little to be done with it to make it look good enough for my liking. This time it was all hanging at weird angles… Oh, well. I would have to wet it down before I could brush it properly. I splashed water on my face and head, then started brushing my hair. Huge chunks of the hair were coming out on the brush! This continued until the entire crown of my head was bald, completely bald. The rest of the hair seemed firmly attached, but the crown of my head was bald! I tried hopelessly for a comb-over like some men try to get away with, then I looked at my scalp to see it was red and irritated, covered with strange soars. I could only stare at that and wonder over and over, "What is wrong with my body?" I was clearly quite sick, I didn't want anyone to notice, but I was sure I would have to see a doctor about this one.

This dream was longer, but I don't remember how it began, I believe I was Lucid beforehand but I can't remember

The dream before this was about pizza or something, anyways, in the dream I was about to wake up, and I knew I was waking up and wanted to stay dreaming so I tried to stay still for a DEILD.

When I woke up it was a FA, and I knew it immediately, I was laying down in a different room and it was incredibly vivid, I really felt in control. I got up, rubbed my hands together for stabilization and looked at them, they weren't as detailed as they normally are in my dreams but they seemed more realistic. I noticed on the wall a picture of a woman, I went up to the picture and asked her what was up, I don't remember her response or any of the conversation, but I remember that her talking was out of sync with her mouth moving. I decided to go outside, planning on flying or something, since I was kind of bored. I got to my front door ready to go wherever it takes me, and spontaneously decided to visit Ragefire Chasm from WoW. I said, "Ragefire Chasm will be on the other side of this door". When I went outside it looked like Ragefire Chasm was growing onto my front yard, I started walking around looking for a sword, which was actually easy to find, cause apparently there's a weapons shop in my garage. I got 2 swords and started heading towards the entrance, just then some Asian guy pulled up in a car and threw a sword at me, still sheathed. When I looked at the sword it was green with little footballs all over it. He said that this was my invitation into the "Challenge", then he got out, put on a weird hat and said he had to do his introduction; Somehow I felt like I had seen the introduction before and didn't feel like waiting all day, so I used the "Fallout 3/Oblivion" skip time method, which is simply speeding up time by a couple of hours. Eventually he was gone, but in the process of this I managed to lose Lucidity.

When I turned around there were 2 big dogs eating some kind of corpse in my front yard, my mom was there and said that it attacked me and they killed it. We spent about what seemed like 10 minutes just talking with a bunch of different people, then these weird looking zombies started showing up, they looked like something out of Left 4 Dead 2, trying to kill us, Just as we're fighting these things off I start waking up. In this instant I realized I was dreaming and didn't want it to end so I tried to stay still so when I wake up I could DEILD.

This was another FA, but this time I thought it was real, and didn't think to question it. For some reason I was in a commercial for cellphones, but it was like the Flintstones, it kept talking about people on the phones at night, and it kept showing cave men using these massive stone tablets that were apparently cell phones. The dream ended with me sitting at a stone table on a stone cell phone.

I have had many lucid dreams and out of body experiences. I've been shot and pregnant. I've felt a kiss before and I learned how to fly. When I felt uncomfortable, I would always wake up.

Except a few days ago, I was dreaming that a man stumbled into his bathroom and was breathing really bad. I was watching him suffocate and he leaned over the toilet. All of a sudden, I felt a tightness in my chest and then I couldn't breathe. My eyes were open but at the same time they weren't and all I was seeing was black.

It felt like someone was suffocating me and I tried to wake up but I couldn't and at the last minute, I woke up and I literally couldn't breathe.

Now, every time I have a really bad lucid dream, I can't wake up from it when I want to.

Key: Non-Lucid, Lucid, Commentary/Notes, Hypnagogic Hallucinations

I awoke in a dense rainforest. The plant-life glistened as though it had just recently been raining. It was beautiful. Then I realised, I didn't know where or who I was.

I looked around and saw members of the Voyager crew. Ah yes, I too was a member of the crew. But where were we?

Thinking about it now, this dream bears some striking similarities with a certain Star Trek: Voyager episode. Can't say I've watched it recently though, so it's odd that I would dream of a similar scenario.

Someone explained that we were trapped in a virtual reality. Not only that, but the virtual reality represented an entire virtual universe, larger even than our own. I found the prospect both daunting and exciting. If the view of the rainforest in front of me was indicative of the beauty and realism of the rest of the virtual universe, I certainly would want to see more of it.

There were many questions floating around in my head. Can we get out? If so, how? Should we even bother? Why are we trapped here? How did we even get here? I contemplated the idea of a virtual universe some more as I watched the rainforest before me. It all seemed so real.

There was an invisible barrier just behind us. It lead back in to reality. On the other side was a room. It was sealed. Perhaps just the entry point?

The next thing I knew we were under attack by Klingons. I didn't know if they were real or part of the virtual reality, but I knew they were trying to kill us. We fought with them and came out victorious. There were only a few of them. They explained that they too had awoken in this virtual reality just a few miles to the west of our location. They returned to the west, presumably to the rest of their people.

A moment later some other humans appeared from the rainforest. They wanted us to go with them to where they were living. They were dressed very plainly in neutral colours.

We went with them and they brought us to what appeared to be some kind of temple or tomb. It was made from stone and had detailing done with small red stones. I was standing next between Tom Paris and Kim and we all exchanged a glance as though to say... 'Ok, this is weird.'

The people were beckoning us to follow them around the structure to the other side. We did so and there was a stone casket. They began to remove the stone slab on top of it and when asked what they were doing they told us that they were releasing Hathor. I panicked. I shouted that Hathor is a Goa'uld and would immediately try and take a host! The Goa-uld symbiote came flying out of the casket. The realised that since this was a virtual reality that it might not be able to take control of any of us. It seemed I was right because the symbiote disappeared in the air with a kind of red de-digitising effect. Panic over.

Mixing some Stargate SG-1 with your Star Trek dreams can never be a bad thing, right?

Captain Janeway was pretty miffed about everything. I remember looking at Tuvok and he just had an intrigued look on his face, as you would expect.

Finally I contemplated more about the nature of the virtual universe. I was torn between the desire to explore it and the desire to be back safely in reality.

I am sitting at my desk playing some type of modern modern version of the old Asteroids game when I realize I am wearing sunglasses. I take off the sunglasses and put them down on the desk only to look back up and realize they are still on my face. I take them off again but this time i reach up with my other hand and feel my face. Then I suspected that I was dreaming so I did a reality check and became lucid.
Remembering my goal, (a first!) I get up and go out into the hallway. I fly up through the ceiling and wake up.



Notes: The reason I couldnt remove the sunglasses is probably because of changing light levels, though I have never had that happen before... Unfortunately I didnt achieve my goal in this dream but at least I remembered it before I woke up!
