Practicing Control Over Objects (WBTB)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I can really only remember the bare bones of this one.

Me and a couple of friends were in a car on a beach. It was a very small beach, basically a cove, with cliffs all round it and only one steep, rocky road leading down to it. We were standing around the car talking. It was night time, and I wanted more light. I started fiddling with various buttons and knobs inside the car, trying to make a light or torch appear. I had it in my head that if I expected something to happen, it would. So I opened hatches expecting them to reveal tiny lights etc. It worked a little bit- sometimes I would get a tiny LED light, but when I tried to make it brighter by flicking other switches, it would go out. I eventually managed to transform part of the dashboard into a bizzare torch, which looked like a metal detector used by airport security. Unfortunately it was shit.

I had two or three false awakenings in my own house, where I tried opening doors with the expectation that a certain hot girl would be on the other side. I visualised her quite clearly, then swung open the door, only to find an insane creation of my unfocused mind. It was an old lady with really long arms and huge glasses, wearing a really weird robe. I slammed the door on her and had another FA.



This one was really confusing. I had real difficulty distinguishing the dream from reality. I even told this to my brother, who was walking around the kitchen. I looked at myself in a mirror from a distance and I looked basically normal, and I had to keep looking at my hand (which was truly fucked) to remind myself I was dreaming. When I first "woke up", I exhaled for about 30 seconds again, like the last dream. I tried to not breathe in at all after this happened, but decided that probably wasn't the best idea! There was a song playing in the background. I'm almost sure it was King Hell's cover of "Hungry Like the Wolf".

At a few points in the dream I heard things from the waking world which nearly woke me up, but I rubbed and clapped my hands a few times to keep myself internally focused.

Espionage, then minor wandering. (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was definitely my most successful WILD yet. I didn't get much sleep last night, so I went for an afternoon nap. I lay on my back with my arms by my sides, which is a really unnatural way for me to sleep, but I reckoned it was probably the best for dreamin'. After a very short time I got some serious SP and rolling sensations (for the 2nd time whoop!) and I ended up in an interesting dream.

I had unwittingly inserted myself into a vampire/werewolf story. I think this was brought on by watching Underworld the other day. I was a vampire, of course, and I was walking through a town centre with a couple of my vampire cronies and a werewolf, who had defected. (Apparently the vampires and werewolves were at war). I went along with the plot, which went on around me. It was night time, and the streets were very dark, apart from the orangey glow from some low streetlights. We were on our way to sneak into a werewolf meeting at a hotel. I could see the hotel coming up on the left. It had a distinctly more reddish glow than the rest of the area. The dude beside me said,
"I thought this place was closed this late on a Saturday?" and the werewolf replied,
"Not for us." Sure enough, there was light coming from the building, but only from one side door, which looked like the entrance to a very exclusive club. There were two huge bouncers outside in black suits. We paused at a set of benches out in the street to discuss our next move. The werewolf guy warned me that there would be a scanner inside, and that they were only letting in the most elite of werewolves.
"I'll probably be fine," I told him, with a dollop of arrogance. I left the others sitting on the benches, and walked confidently over to the door. It was only then I noticed I was wearing a very nice suit. I tugged the collar slightly as I walked straight between the bouncers. My swagger was so awesome they didn't even question me. Right inside, there was a thin corridor, only about 3 feet across. A couple of metres inside was a simple ID scanner, the kind they have in some airports, only without the face recognition part. There were two girls I know in front of me (I knew them to be vampires too at the time), and a female guard at the ID scanner. The two girls inserted their fake driver's lisences, and were rejected. A red light shone from above the scanner and a buzzer sounded. Instead of being chucked out, they were allowed to merely walk back outside. It was my turn. I reached in my pocket, and found my ID card I usually use. I reckoned it might work simply because it was actually a real ID, I hadn't bothered with a fake one like the girls before me. Although it did occur to me that they would realise I wasn't a werewolf and not let me in anyway. I inserted my card, but to my surprise, the light turned green and I heard a "ping!". I was in.


Not quite what I looked like as a vampire, but hey...

The female guard stepped aside and waved me onwards. The corridor opened up to normal size. It was very dark- I thought it might almost be so dark I'd lose my perception and wake up by accident, but I concentrated on the small lights shining up the walls at the celing and made them brighter, allowing me to see ok. On my left was a glass wall. On the other side, I could see a fancy restaurant, with all tables full. I reckoned that must be the werewolf meeting. On the other side of the corridor was an enormous elevator door. There were two pot plants on either side, and some people standing in front of it. I recognised one of them as my friend Sophie, who I hadn't seen in ages. I said hello enthusiastically and gave her a hug. My friend Pete was also there. I was pleased to see him too. The lift arrived and the doors opened. I was surprised at what I saw. The interior was about the size of my living room, and there were dozens of people sitting on settees and on the metal floor. It genuinely confused me, but I stepped on anyway. I sat down with Pete against the back of a setee. I caught the eye of a girl across the lift and smiled at her. I caught my reflection in the metal wall and noticed my vampire fangs.
"Shit," I thought. "Although I am really working these fangs!" I assumed I would now be mauled by the many werewolves around me, but no-one seemed to care. Instead, the girl smiled back, and I noticed she had fangs too. We crawled towards each other, cutting a path through the people sitting about, and she leapt on me. We got it on then and there, with at least 30 people watching. Good times.

I had a false awakening here. I "opened my eyes", and felt the dream zap away, and my vision of the vampire chick was sucked into the distance, replaced by the wall in my old bedroom. I thought,
"That was sweet!" and sighed. As I sighed, I let out a huge amount of air. I was exhaling for literally thirty seconds. During that time I took several small breaths, becuase I needed air. At the time I reasoned that I had been breathing so deeply while dreaming that my lungs had absorbed an excessive amount of air, which was just being released now. When I was finished, I got out of bed and walked towards the door, ready to go downstairs and see what everybody was up to in the real world. My left arm felt really strange, like it was pointing the wrong way or something, but I stretched and it seemed to fix itself. I reached for the door handle, and noticed that I felt a bit strange, like I wasn't quite sure if this was a dream or real life. My vision was a tiny bit fuzzy, and I thought this might be from just waking up, but I did the hand reality check anyway, and was astounded to see about seven fingers! I laughed to myself that I could be so stupid to have thought this was real- I was in my old house after all. As soon as I became lucid, I had a familiar feeling of being "trapped in the dream", which I only ever had once before, in my lucid nightmare where I kept having false awakenings. Waking up for real would've been fine, and a few seconds ago, I really thought I had. There was even a vague echo of The Twilight Zone music which tormented me last time. I resolved that I wasn't going to get into that mindset, and the music petered out. I was incredibly aware here. I was so switched on I found it hard to believe I could still be sleeping with my mind still at work. I walked over to the window. It was afternoon on a cloudy day. Climing through the bushes in my garden was some naked girl.
"Jackpot," I said, and punched the air. I opened the window, ready to climb out, but my three brothers came in. They were asking me something which I can't remember now, but everything seemed so real here that I had to do three reality checks in a row, just to make extra extra sure I was dreaming. I asked them who sent them, for some reason. The biggest brother replied,
"Christine." (she's my ex) I asked him,
"What, is she here?"
"Yeah, she's in the cupboard under the stairs," he said. I went downstairs to see if she was in fact hiding in my house, but there was no sign of her under the stairs. I went inside and hoked about a bit, but quickly became claustrophobic, so I left. I wandered into the living room, where we have a big mirror above the fireplace. I walked over, and saw my reflection. At first glance, it seemed basically normal with slightly longer hair. Then the title of a thread I had read on dreamviews earlier popped into my head. It was about looking in the mirror in dreams, and how something weird always happens. Right then, my reflected face distorted itself into a horrible, demonic visage. The skin darkened, the eyes went totally black, and my head grew horns. It laughed at me evily.
"Fuuuuck that," I said, and stared it out. The longer I stared the more benign and cartoon-ish it got, until the outlines of the main features looked very much like they were drawn by pencil. Satisfied, I turned away and went out into the hall.

About here I woke up. I was shocked to find that it had only been an hour exactly since I lay down in bed!

Beach and Swimming Pool (DEILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This one made quite a lot of sense at the time.

I was on a steep beach with my brother. The sand was golden yellow, and the waves were tiny. It was a very sunny day, and from what I could tell, the beach was packed. I started crawling up towards a small grey wall at the top, and a tiny wave washed past me. When it receeded, a lime green lobster was left sitting in front of me. It looked like a toy. I stared at it for a bit, and it soon scuttled off. I got to the grey wall, and found a swimming pool on the other side. My brother ran and jumped into it. I watched him closely, because I'm pretty sure he can't swim in real life. I quickly decided I was wasting my time since I was only dreaming, he'd be fine.

The rest is foggy, but I went inside a building and down hundreds of flights of stairs where I got to a basement full of big crab-like monsters.

two nights ago I went out all night and took molly. Before that I took a lot of salvia. I had a massive REM rebound this morning and had a dream that lasted all night. I woke up around 6 or 7 times throughout this whole adventure, but laid in bed and thought about the previous dream until I fell asleep and went back into it. I never wrote any of this down because I was extra tired from the lack of sleep the night before, but the fact that I would think about the dream so much until I fell asleep made them all link together. A lot of this dream was forgotten



It started out with me in a foreign landscape. We are walking through a maze. I am aware that this is some sort of game that I need to get through. Kara is with me and we are walking through a maze. We go through some portal and enter a restaurant. There is a gym attached to this restaurant and to the left people are working out. I notice a cute girl on a machine giving me a look. I am with Kara so I try to not flirt back. There is also an Asian girl giving me a look. She was wearing a black dress. We were all talking about random things until a couple of us had to go to the bathroom. Somehow I ended up in the bathroom with the Asian and she had to go to the bathroom. I told her to go in front of me and she pretended to. I whipped my dick out and started to make her touch it. She got angry and left the bathroom. I was a little worried that she would tell Kara. I went out and started talking shit about her and they all started to hate her. She said she was going to tell the manager and I laughed because I was good friends with him and knew he would fire her if I asked.

I left the place with Kara and continued the path.We went up to some control tower and pressed a button to open a large gate. This place with filled with deformed ninjas that had treasure. This was a weird kind of treasure and I knew that if I took some they would find out and attack me. I ran up their some ladder to a shack with the treasure. I took all of it and suddenly five of them appeared. I started running with Kara and Adam my brother called me and said he was waiting at the gate. We found Adam and I suddenly knew I was dreaming. I took one of the treasures and multiplied it into three sharp pieces of material. I threw three of them in the air and they sniped their way into the hearts of the ninjas. Adam told me that playing video games on the computer was much cooler than lucid dreaming. I said he was stupid and that he should stop being so lazy in life. We ended up at on a high speed chase to my house and went inside.

I went into the garage to find my mom and my neighbor trying to fix our broken garage. I spent some time trying to help him fix the garage. A random cute woman came into the garage and said that she had great replacements for light bulbs. The light bulbs were filled with weed and god food. I thanked her. I ended up running three houses down and asking her if I could have some more. I told her I wanted to see her again and she was giving me her cell phone number when her dad came out of the house. She whispered that she would call my house phone. I went back home and went upstairs to replace my light bulbs in my room. My mom started yelling my name and I did a rc. Wohoo! I am dreaming. I did a little flip down the stairs and into the living room. There was a scary evil guy near the garage door and I jumped in the air, summoned a dagger, and stabbed him in the heart. He disappeared and I started telling my brother that he could never do this in his games. I forgot what else I did because I did not write down the lucid and ended up continuing the same dream.

Laying in bed I heard my mother call my name again. I was pissed that she woke me up from my lucid. I went downstairs and she told me that I had to go to work. I went down to work and asked the manager if I could somehow work early after having a good chat with him. He said I could help clean the place up. The restaurant is still not open, but half of it was up for testing. The rest had to be cleaned. I started cleaning the place with some fat guy. We ended up having to take three wolves from the garage into the woods. I took a giant hammer and started lightly hitting them on the heads. Just enough to make them pass out and for us to take them into the woods.

I was like at a hospital. I was looking at some kind of werid instrument. It's hard for me to explain what the instrument was. It had 2 big metal upside down containers that were both connect together by a see-through tube. A nurse put a child (girl) into the left container. and started moving some levelers (supposedly) and red stuff appear in the other container-I think it was blood but was unsure. Than the nurse moved some more levels and the red stuff disapper but the girl was surronded by green stuff. But the nurse didn't move the one container all the way down so the girl slipped out of the container when the nurse's back was turn. The Nurse had to catch her and she did but when they were just about to continue whatever was happening when the girl died. Than the screen wiped to a doctor giving red stuff to some eldery people. He was talking to some other doctors in the room about the girl from the other part of the hosptial saying that she died.

I am in this gym type room. There are a bunch of people, some kids, some teens. I may have been a little lucid...because of the way I was controlling a bit, and I just felt it a bit... Well, in this dream I realize that I am Raven Symone...Anyway, for some reason I want all of the kids and teens to pair up...as in boy girl for "obvious reasons". Well, I could get the teens to do it just fine. I thought I had the kids together too, but then I saw 2 girls together...I tried to get them each to go with a guy...I eventually did, but there were still 2 girls together, because I ran out of the guys there. I wanted them all to kiss or something, but then I said the teens could, but the kids could just "mingle".

Now, we are going to play this game. For this game, you and your partner have a fruit roll up, rolled up, and you must eat it, wrapping and all, fast, the fastet is the winner. You have to go to the other side of the room to begin. So, we start. Me and my partner go to the other side, and we're rockin at it! We eat it all, and our lips are supposed to touch as we finish it . I had this gross aftertaste from his mouth . Then, we go back, and back to where we were again. This time, my teeth were hurting because of my braces, they felt like they were just tightened. So when we had to do it again, I tried to in the beginning, but I realized my teeth hurt too much. When time was up, my partner cheated and he made only the rest of the fruit roll up disappear, just by putting his finger by it. It was gone. The judge was coming over to see it, but I made it re-appear, and I told him I didn't want to cheat.

Now, for some reason, I see Raven, but now I am me, looking at everyone, a bit far away. Somewhere in here I become lucid. For some reason I decide I want to sing, like I have wanted to do in a dream before, because in dreams you can just sing awesome! But...what happened was SO weird! I tried to sing, but it sounded bad, like I was muttering...but since this was a dream, I heard this beautiful voice that was supposed to be coming from me but wasn't coming from my lips...confusing. Well, I started just to move my lips, as if I was lipsyncing... Well, then I decide I want to leave. I told everyone in the room that I was gonna go. They were all, really loud and waving their arms, "bye [my name]"! I decided that I couldn't just leave them, so I told them they could come with me. There was a big cheer, and they followed me.

Now, I am in front of a "castle"-modern looking, though, I only saw it from one angle-the odd side like entrace. It was white. Well, I am looking at myself third person, and I see other people behind me, probably the people I told to come with me. I enter into the castle. I then start to walk up the grand white stairs. I ask where the prince is (I blame this whole prince castle thing on my book tape that my family was listening to when we were just travelling). Then, I see him. He starts coming down the stairs. I dislike how proper he looks . He is wearing a suit and has a British accent-as if he is a twenty first century type prince. His suit is blue with white stripes, with this black thing...not a tie or a bow, but something in between...I then decide to change his accent to American. Well, it worked! I liked his new voice. Then, I gave him some normal clothes. Ah, much better!

We then take each other's hands and do what you know I will-kiss him. In between each one, I tell him that he is hot, and he says I am also. I compliment something else on him too that I don't remember...I did have to say increase clarity now so I would stay in the dream. He gave me this funny look. But then I told him how I can only be "like this" in LD's..and that I was lucid, something around those lines. Everyone in my dream world knows my name-which I just assume.

DREAMNONDREAMSCENEDESCRIPTIONLUCID

So, I go up to this apartment door. This fat guy opens it. I ask him if there are any "hot teenage guys in there"-something like that. I expect it to be a no, even when he said there was. I went in, and he pointed behind the door, he was there. OMG, he was hot! So, I take him by his hand, and we sit by the window, with the moonlight. So, we kiss about 4 times, and in between there I had to rub my hands, but soon after I woke up.

DREAMNONDREAMSCENEDESCRIPTIONLUCID

This dream is too sad in the beginning to go into much detail . We are on this outdoor round table with an umbrella on it, way in the back right corner of our large yard.So, my mom and my friend, the same one that was talking about what I say that is wrong, are telling me stuff like I need more excercise and I need to eat better. I tell them that I try to go on a walk every day, even if I didn't that much last week. I don't like to walk alone. Well, it was very humiliating having my FRIEND say this about me. What they were saying sounded SO unlike what they would say IRL, especially my friend, I started yelling at them, and I became lucid. As I became lucid, I started to fly a little above the table looking at them in disgust. Then, I decided I'd let my friend come with me. It was just my dream, she would never say that IRL! So, we are flying, and I am, like I do by default and I decided in the dream I wanted to do anyway, finding a cute guy . We are flying to houses to see if anyone is there, and cute teenage guys. We go into one house where my friend says her boyfriend lives, and says that he has a brother. I look at him, and I'm all "eh..". So, I don't say anything, but we continue to fly.

Now, I see this house. This house looks simish, because I can see into it . It looks creepy and I don't see anyone in it...so we continued on. I could feel myself not being able to fly well anymore. Well, I found out the perfect solution. To flap my arms a bit, but then put my left arm out and think in my head "SHOOOM". And shoom we did. I see this other house the "sim way", and there are no walls and no outside to it. I see some bedrooms, I think the beds were purples and reds and blues, maybe pinks. But I saw no one inside, and woke up.

This was the most important dream.

I was in a small room. It had white portal-like walls. I wasn't lucid but I played around with some portals there. On was down to my right on the wall and the other one behind me a bit higher. I had like different objects I threw through the portal near the ground. Then I found a glitch sort of. If I acted as if I was going to throw the thing through the portal but stopped the last second a copy would come out of the other portal. I could basically create replicates.

I also had a 1 second lucid dream. I had the same dream twice and as I noticed that I became lucid and woke up. Tried to DEILD but didn't work.

I've been having a dry spell the for a while now. My recall seems to work pretty good though.

Well to start off my Dream journal for Lucid Dreams I should start of with my first non-Lucid that I recall for that month which is June...

Dream 1
6 June 2010
Sunday

I dreamt I was in a factory's parking lot, running from someone with a women who was attractive and had long Black curly hair. Next thing I knew we were fighting a bunch of bad guy gremlins who were working for the guy who was chasing us. These gremlins are like the ones in that move "Gremlins" ( I know surprise surprise right) . Then I saw a policeman who was old and slightly overweight who was assisting us in battling the gremlins. The cop shot the second in command of the bad guys. The second in command looked like your typical gangster but with short messy hair that was brown he also Looked dirty then out of no where someone shot the cop and he was down. The beautiful women who I was fighting alongside with was starting to search for the shooter of the cop. What I also noticed was that even the second in command was crouching like the gremlins and the Gremlins acted like gangsters as well. Then the leader came out of no where, he wore a long brown trench coat. Did I forget to mention that this battle was in my garage. We then were at the factory again when the leader appeared. Though now there millions of Brainwashed human workers and billions of gremlins to fight. The leader mocked us and said we were trapped like a typical villain would. He also said we can't leave forever ,we tried to fight our way out but like he said we can't leave so we couldn't leave.

The End

Dream signs: -Women who had long black hair
-Factory
-My Garage
-Policeman
-Cell phone ( there was a cell phone some where)
- My best Friend.

I was in a strange place. I looked around to see where I was. I was in a strange city. I looked around and I saw that I was in a space between two buildings. I looked out on the street and saw this city appeared to be populated by orcs. They were moving quickly from building to building, talking to each other only briefly before moving on. I saw that there seemed to be a lot of orcs near one building. I wondered what was happening over there. I wondered how the orcs would react if a human was suddenly found among them. I hesitated for a few minutes due to that, but for some reason I felt ok about going out onto the street, into the open. I felt ok about it, as if doing that would not put me in any danger. I stepped out onto the street and headed for the building where all of the activity seemed to be taking place.

As I walked across the street I noticed that the orcs were noticing my presence. They were turning to look, appearing very curious about me. None of them seemed hostile, though. They just seemed curious. I reached the building where all the activity was with no interference. When I got there I saw that the orcs were rushing in and out of the building. None of them were paying much attention to me. I looked into the building. There were orcs in beds everywhere. They looked to be in various stages of injury, They were all being tended to by doctors or healers… When I got in there, one of the orcs came over and quickly ushered me outside. She followed me off to the side of the door. She said the hospital was very busy, so unless I needed medical help, could provide aid, or needed aid, please stay out of the way. I asked what was going on. She smiled, then she turned and walked away.

I still wanted to know what was going on. I wondered who could tell me something about what was happening. While I didn't feel any hostility, I did feel an intense sense of urgency. I walked down the street towards someone who looked like they were in charge. Just as I was getting close to him, however, another orc came running up. This one was female. She said there was another attack force approaching. The male orc looked very disturbed by that. He said they didn't have any more warriors to send. He said most of them were too badly injured from the last attack… and those who weren't injured were completely exhausted. There was no way they could handle another attack… This sounded like a possible DDO quest. I would have to find out more. At thinking of it as a DDO quest, I stopped for a moment… DDO? Tigress does RC's when playing DDO… so I would do that, too. I did a RC and found out I was dreaming. But my goal was still the same. Find out what was going on.

I asked who was attacking. The woman looked at me strangely. She said the trolls, of course… I asked what she meant. She asked if I had just dropped from the sky… the troll army, they were attacking again. She said I had gotten myself into the wrong place… there was no way their defenses could handle another attack. I asked how many trolls. She said there appeared to be well over a thousand trolls… their biggest assault yet… And then there were the traitors who had fled the city to join with the enemy. She said hope was lost. I said no, it wasn't. I told her I would just have to intercept them. She said there was no way I could do that alone. I told her not to worry, there was an army ready to move in. An army? She asked an army of how many? I thought for a bit… I said definitely 256, I was expecting it would be 512, maybe as many as 1024. She asked if I didn't know how large my own army was. I said it depended on how many they had managed to gather up. She said maybe they should save themselves and run. She said full grown orcs couldn't match strength with a troll… and no offense, but an orc is much stronger than a human.

The orc that looked like he was in charge interrupted the woman. He said if the humans wanted to go out and get themselves killed in battle, then that is to be commended. It is much better to be killed in battle than to live in fear. The woman said that it is also foolish to go into a battle when you know you can't win. The leader said it was, in the end, up to the humans what they wanted to do. He said if my army of humans could hold the attacking hoards off just long enough for them to get the injured, the very young, and the very old to safety they would be extremely grateful and would make sure my army and I were well rewarded. He added that if we were in need of supplies… armor, weapons, rations, their resources would be at our disposal. It is well known that orc armor and weapons are among the best, although humans probably would have little use for orc rations… except for the mead… I told him not to worry, we were already well equipped. I asked where the trolls approached from. He said the south. I said perfect, we would have no problems intercepting them. With that I headed for the gate to the city.

I took flight, much to the surprise of the orcs around me, and flew over the gate and headed south. There were, indeed, hoards of trolls. I saw some orcs mixed in with them. I landed in front of the hoard. I landed near the one who appeared to be the general. I walked right over to him. I asked him if there was any possibility of them turning around and going home so things wouldn't have to get ugly. He and several others around him laughed. He said this stupid human amused him… so if I wanted to live, he was going to give me to the count of 10 to get out of his sight.

"All the way to 10?" I asked mockingly, "I'm impressed. I didn't realize trolls could count that high." The general glared at me and said I was no longer amusing him. I told him if he turned his forces around and left immediately, no one would get hurt. He said I would be wishing no one had been hurt. He took out his sword and tried to run me through. His sword hit my Witchblade armor, which formed instantly. The troll was quite surprised by that. I said if he was surprised by that, wait until he got a load of what was coming up next. I was about to focus on my multiplication spell when I saw there was another human there with me. It was Tigress. She asked what was going on. I motioned towards the army of trolls and orcs. I said if she wanted to help, just go ahead and kill something. In fact, kill lots of somethings. The trolls laughed some more. I guess the idea of Tigress killing lots of them was very amusing to them. Tigress multiplied. There was a paladin version of herself in shining armor with a large glowing sword… a rogue version of herself which was a halfling and had a dagger dripping with poison… and a fighter version of herself which was a warforged and was carrying two nasty looking swords… and that was in addition to her normal self.

So now I focused on the song Divide by Disturbed. 2… 4… 8… 16… 32… 64… 128… 256… That's where I normally stop. I saw that all of Tigress had dispersed into the enemy army, killing as she went through them. I thought I saw the pally split into two pallies, so Tigress wasn't done dividing, either. So even as the trolls attacked all of my clones, I continued multiplying… I wanted to push the limit. Another split… 512 of me. Every part of my mind seemed to be consumed by a different part of the fight. Cutting down a troll here, running my Witchblade sword through an orc there… There were still so many more trolls than there were of us… Should I keep dividing? I wasn't sure what would happen… I decided I had better not chance it until I knew for sure 512 would work well… So the fight continued. Having 512 of me was rather disorienting, but since all of us were focused on the same task, that made it easier. All of us were utilizing our Witchblade swords to cut down trolls and orcs wherever we found them.

Then I noticed something… one of the orcs had put his sword through one of my clones! His sword had managed to penetrate her Witchblade… I wondered how that was possible. Had dividing the Witchblade that many times made it less effective? My Witchblade spoke to me in my mind, saying the others were not as strong due to the dividing… but the original me still had a fully effective Witchblade. I felt the energy from the clone return to me. Ok… 511 of me… The fight was intense, and disorienting as I tried to direct each of my clones at the same time. A couple more clones went down, but that was nowhere near the number of trolls to fall. Soon the field was littered with dead trolls and also some fallen orc traitors. Only Tigress and I were left… there were 64 Tigresses and 486 of me.

Tigress looked around at all of the Ravens standing around her. She asked if I could have made any more of me. I said yeah, I thought I could have, but I stayed with 512 for now. The next step up from 256. Both of us absorbed our clones back into ourselves and surveyed the area. Nothing but death. Tigress started an intense fire. She said many of the bodies would burn, and create fertilizer for the earth… and the ones that don't burn will feed the scavengers of the wilderness. I looked at the burning carcasses and thought that was the first time those trolls and orcs would ever be useful to anyone. I was looking at the flames when I woke.

I won't spend a lot of time on the first part of the dream, as it was pretty unimportant.

Basically what happened was that several DC's were introduced into the story, but other than that, the beginning served no real purpose. I just went around with my friend (who I will call John) and did stuff pretty much like we'd do IRL.

Where the important part begins is when we decided to stop by QuickTrip for something to drink. We were on our way in, when I saw a girl (whom I care about very much IRL, and will refer to as Jane) walking to her car further down the parking lot (it was a huge lot, nevermind we were just at a gas station). My mind raced.

“Jane!” I thought. (Well, actually, I thought of her real name, but in case she happens to read this somehow, I'd rather not list it here). “Oh, she's too far away to hear me...I can't stop her to talk...if only I could run up to her and...”

Then the non-reality of it all suddenly began to hit me. Just in time, I figured out that it was all just a dream!

“...wait, then. I can run after her!”

So that's exactly what I did. I abandoned John and forgot my drink so that it ceased to exist and I ran as fast as I could (which was pretty fast, being lucid). I was so eager not to miss Jane that I accidentally got to her truck even before she did. So I just waited there a moment.

When Jane caught up, she seemed a bit surprised to see me there, but made no comment about my super-human speed.

“What are you doing here?”

I hadn't actually planned on answering a question like that, so for a moment no words came to me. I knew I couldn't tell her the truth that I was dreaming, though.

“Oh...” I began, desperately fumbling for a way to put a positive spin on the situation. “Just...thought I'd open the door for you! Yeah...that's it.”

I reached back and opened the door. Jane just stood there a moment and stared. Not fully sure what she was thinking, but I got the idea that she just didn't know how to respond to me going so far out of my way to do something nice for her.

“Oh. Well...thanks,” said she.

Then Jane started to get in, and I realized she was going to try to leave. This was a lucid dream! I couldn't let her go like that.

“Uh, Jane?”

“Yeah?” She hesitated on the step of her truck.

"Come here."

I reached over and wrapped my arms around her, picking her up off the truck and setting her back down on to the ground. She half-tried to resist at first, gently pushing back, but it was only because she was worried about the time.

“I don't have time...I need to go.”

“Need to go?” I replied. “There's nowhere you need to be more than here.”

She smiled, and then put her arms around me as well, and leaned her head up against me. I remember thinking she seemed somewhat shorter in the dream than in real life, or I was taller, but whatever. I didn't let that bother me. What mattered was that Jane was there, and I was holding her in my arms.

We stayed that way for a very long time. That was all I wanted. There was nothing else I needed to use my lucidity for more than that. She was totally worth it.

Eventually she insisted that she really had to go, and I had to let her, then. Even if she wasn't physically present, I care about her too much to not respect her wishes. But, she assured me we'd see each other again soon and that we'd spend more time together.

Then, an interesting thing happened. The girl from a few previous flying dreams (who is also from real life and will be referred to as Janet) came up to me and I could see in her eye that she remembered all of our flying times together. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jane watching to see what would happen. In Jane's presence, I reached out and hugged Janet, but not very closely and for a very brief time, as if to declare who I truly loved, and who was just a good friend.

After that, Jane smiled and left, I lost lucidity, and the dream went to a weird thing where John had turned into this huge blob. At first all I could see was his head sticking out of the covers on his bed. Then, suddenly, the covers flew back, revealing that the rest of his body was just hundreds of pounds of blubber--no bones, no muscles. He wobbled out of bed and across the floor, and I could see little protrusions that served as 'arms' and 'legs', but they also had no bones, and there were no hands or feet, so they would have been useless anyway. Then he suddenly jumped into the air and twirled around, which caused physics to stretch him out and flatten a bit. John landed on the floor and turned into a rug, and then the dream ended.

I swear I wasn't on drugs...but that last bit was REALLY weird.

Slept between 11:30p-10:00a

After another night of lost dreams, I've decided to stop trying to forcibly DEILD as an induction technique. I'm quite good at using it to prolong dreams... and as a late-morning/not ready to get up yet technique (where I'm also less worried about losing a dream), it's still quite feasible. But there's too much recall at stake to use it as a main technique. I was also trying to "CAN-WILD" (which is like a DEILD... and alarm wakes you that turns itself off and you essentially DEILD, but if there's no dream, it ends up being a WILD anyways). But so far my body proves that when I wake up, I wake up, and I find it hard to re-enter the dream state on command like that. So, I am going to re-take up my habits of WBTB and focus on recall again.

11:30p-6:00a
House for sale
Upset at house being sold to my brothers (Mike, specifically). Some guy was doing house tours. That's all my notes say, I don't have any recollection of this dream!

6:00a-9:00a
Flying controls
I've forgotten what led up to this point, but I was being pursued by some witch. I jumped up off the ground and started flying away. This made me lucid. I Looked back and noticed she was hot on my tail. "I need to make myself fly faster," I thought. Normally, when I fly, my arms are in an upside-down V formation at my sides. I brought my arms straight against my sides, to see if that would improve my speed. No luck. I tried a Superman pose. Still no luck. "I remember reading somewhere that the way they fly is by thinking about their target, and basically letting themselves get pulled to it, mentally... Maybe that'll work...?" I looked at a point on the horizen, and kind of... "set it" with my mind and willed myself to get pulled towards it. I felt a yank from my belly button, like I was on a cord connecting it to the point I set, and I was being pulled towards the point. I yelped a bit with surprise, as it certainly did increase my speed, but it wasn't quite enough. Woke up, anyways.

9:00a-10:00a
School mates
There was some kind of event happening at my school (non-existent to RL). I think it might have been World Cup related. I'm sitting in an empty classroom with Freddy and Corine, from SAIT. We're talking about jobs and I say something about trying to break into sound ops. I look directly at Freddy, because IRL, he does some kinda theatre thing (not sure what capacity, but judging by his FBook posts, it sounds managerial).

Don't eat grassy snow
There's another point where I have a snowball in my hand, and I'm eating it. I realize it's all grassy, and I nearly throw up

Late for work
Another fragment where I realize I'm late for work. I'm trying to get my uniform together to get ready, but I keep getting distracted by things, which causes me to be more late.

Note: I downloaded a new sound file, Yoga Nidra, which is a meditation track meant to aid in lucid dreaming. I used it for the first time tonight to aid in getting into my WILD. My goals tonight included doing the TotM by multiplying myself, and also some training. I have been feeling like I need to train due to having lost a fight to another DV member way too easily… and I also want alternative abilities that aren't power based in case I get attacked by Templars again and my powers don't work. So with those goals in mind, I used the new meditation sound along with my light / sound machine and slipped into a WILD…

I was in a green meadow near a house. I recognized the place as the house where Vegeta and Serena live. I walked towards the house. I saw Vegeta was off to the right. He came over to meet me. He asked if I was finally ready to accept training. He said that a fighter who will only train themselves has a fool for a student. He said he knew this for a fact because he used to be like that, and it was only when he started accepting help from others that he was able to boost his power level to what it is now. He powered up, creating a bright field of energy around him. It was a powerful energy field, and yet I knew that this energy was a mere fraction of his true power… and a small fraction at that. To prove that fact, Vegeta powered up a bit more. His energy field was casting a bluish white glow over the meadow. I still knew that what I was seeing was still a small fraction of Vegeta's true power.

Vegeta paused, and then he continued. . He looked me over as if sizing me up. He nodded a couple of times. He said he didn't see why I would have a problem with my skills and power level, but if I did and wanted to do something about it, it was time to train, and he was the one to train me He said that he has already seen I have a good power level and good skills in battle. He said the first thing I should work on is my speed. After all, an opponent who cannot hit you cannot defeat you. And after making your opponent miss is a good time to move around for a counter attack before the opponent even knows what hit them. He asked if I was ready for some serious training. Only serious training produces serious results. He asked if I was ready to commit to this… I said I would do my best. He said that's not good enough. I have to be committed to the training, coming in dreams w henever I get the chance, training when on my own… There is no, "I'll do my best," there is only "Yes, I will succeed!" or "No." If the answer is no, we are done. If yes, let's get started. I said yes. He insisted I say, "Yes, I will succeed!" and put confidence into it. Saying that made me believe I could do it.

So Vegeta and I started training. He told me to block all of his punches. He came over to me and did a Kachu Tenshin Amaguuriken as done by Ranma Saotome on the anime / manga Ranma 1/2. I blocked a couple of the punches, but Vegeta was as fast as lightning… I didn't block nearly all of them.

When that round was over, Vegeta looked at me again and said speed is definitely a place where I need improvement. He said to follow him and we would train for speed in the same manner Ranma Saotome trained… So Vegeta set up several different scenarios. The first one was right off of the Ranma 1/2 series… catching a number of fish from a tank and moving them to another tank… and the fish were piranha…

and the goal was to do it fast enough not to be bitten. The second task was also off of Ranma 1/2… the goal was to pluck a number of chestnuts out of a blazing fire without getting burned.

Then he came up with a few ideas of his own. A bunch of small flying drones in a swarm around me, they were basically drone bees. He said to grab them all out of the air, get them fast enough that I don't get stung. He said this exercise would require both speed and accuracy. Then there was the maze… a path of twists and turns with obstacles that would pop up at the last moment… and the goal was to speed through the maze as fast as possible without hitting any of the obstacles or the walls. He said that was for speed and reaction time. And don't start thinking the obstacles would be in the same place each time, because they wouldn't. It is necessary to expect the unexpected and be ready to act accordingly. His last one was a combination of the other two of his… fly through the maze and pluck the drones out of the air as I went. The goal was to capture all the drones and complete the course without hitting obstacles or walls. He added that just in case it needed to be said, I was to do all of these tasks without relying on my powers… except for in the maze, where I could use flight.

So I started working on those tasks. He had me starting on the piranha and chestnuts ones. I had done it for a short while when I felt the dream slipping. I said I would dilate time. He said not to. He said he would take care of the time dilation, I should focus on my exercises. So I continued. The dream stabilized. Vegeta continued watching me do the tasks, occasionally intervening to give me advice on picking up my speed. It seemed like I was training like that for a long time, and I could clearly see improvement even after that short time of training. Vegeta also said he had noticed a definite increase in my speed. He said if I kept that speed up for the beginning of our next session, the fish and the chestnuts were too easy for me… time to move on to the drones, then the maze, then both. And this time when everything faded, I woke.

Note: It felt like I had been in the dream state for a very long time. I am not good at judging how long, but several hours at least. When I woke up, I looked at my clock and saw I had only been asleep for an hour. Vegeta sure knows his time dilation!

I started off at my school(DS). It was the first day. I didn't have a class(DS) schedule, so I went to the school office(DS). They gave me a schedule. So, I headed to my first class(DS). Then, I thought of something: Geez, summer vacation was oddly short! I was lucid without RCing again! I did one anyways for the heck of it. So, I walked towards the enterance. A teacher stopped me, and told me to go to class. So, I punched her in the face. The main enterance had a lock on it. So, I took a pole, and smashed the glass. I ran outside, and I saw a 2011 Mustang. I wanted to steal it. Oddly, my brother was in it. Oh well, I was still gonna drive, I didn't care that he was in there. Then, some guy puts me in the passenger seat, and he drives! No fair! So, I summon a knife, and stab him. He screams in agony, but continues to drive. So, I summon scissors, and I start cutting up everything. I stab him with the scissors, then I hop out the door. My brother follows me. I want to fly now. I jump. Nothing. I jump again, and nothing. Then, I think: Believe, believe, believe. I jump, and I'm soaring through the air! I soon awoke.
