Game of Dreams – Eddard’s Escape

Eddard - I am seated in the back of a wagon. I can’t see where I am, but I feel it is important that I stay hidden. There are people that want my head on a pike. There is a bit of tension as the wagon goes out the main gate of the city. But the man in charge seems to know one of the guards, and they let us through. After we have gone a little ways, I think it must be safe to at least look out. I pull the tarp back at a corner so that I can peek out. There are quite a few people here with us. In another wagon I see that there are three men chained up. Those ones must be criminals from the worst part dungeons. Of course they consider me a criminal too. They think I committed treason, and I even confessed to it in order to avoid execution. That’s not really what I wanted to do, but Eddard went ahead and did it anyways. At that point, Joffrey said he wanted my head. Or he would’ve said that if it hadn’t been for the fact he had some kind of fit. He dropped his pants and started making the sounds of barnyard animals. It was amusing. Then the queen came over and said I had confessed as agreed so I would now be allowed to take the black. So here I am, on my way north to the wall. I guess I should just be glad I wasn’t beheaded.

As I am looking out of the wagon I see that a couple of the boys are picking on a smaller boy. I am thinking that is not fair. They shouldn’t be allowed to do that. They’re calling him lumpy head and saying they want him to hand over a sword he has. But I know that I’m not supposed to be seen, so I just keep watching for a bit longer. Two the boys mock the smaller boy. One of them says the small boy stole his sword so there would be nothing wrong with them stealing it from him because it’s not really his. They start saying they are going to steal his sword. I am thinking that I now can no longer refrain from taking action, however, when one of the boys rides his donkey up beside the smaller boy the small boy pulls out a wooden sword and smacks the donkey’s behind. The donkey bucks the jerk off. The smaller boy jumps off of his donkey and proceeds to kick the other boy’s ass. They won’t underestimate him for being small again.

So since I don’t actually have to do anything, I watch for a bit longer until the man in charge, a soldier of the black named Yarin, comes and breaks up the fight. It wasn’t really much of a fight. The smaller boy was beating the bigger one completely into submission. That was rather amusing. Because even when the bigger boy tried to play dirty and strike from behind, another boy that they have been calling The Bull warned small boy of the attack before it got off. He got his butt kicked some more. This is when Yarin breaks up the fight and then takes a small boy off to the side, probably for disciplinary action. Either that or to praise his sort play. The other boy is clearly in pain, but alive. I sit back down in the wagon, and I just relax there until I wake up.

Game of Dreams – Execution Cancelled

Arya - I am on the streets of a city that looks like something out of an RPG. I look around, and I see lots of people. No one really seems to notice me. I smell something yummy. I follow my nose to see what it is. On the main street I see a man with a cart, and he is selling looks like mini pies. Those look delicious. My stomach is growling. I am wondering if I could possibly get one. It feels like I haven’t eaten since forever. I go over towards the cart and I walk up and start looking at the pies. The man who is pushing the cart looks like he is not pleased to see me. Probably because I look like a street rat with no money. I say I would like to buy a pie. He says that will be three coppers. Doesn’t sound like much. I reach into my pocket to see if I can find any money. I find none. I mutter a rhyme like they used in the Pierce Anthony books. “This isn’t funny, give me some money.” Then find the coins that I need. I hand the coins to the man, who looks quite surprised. He then lets me choose a pie. I choose an apple cinnamon one. He continues on down the road to sell more pies.

I have nothing to my pie with, so I start eating with my hands. That’s kind of gross because they’re kind of dirty. But the pie is way past delicious. So before long I completely forget about my dirty hands as I wolf down that pie. I am thinking I need to get out of the city. I am wondering if there’s any way to do that. I am thinking the main gate will be guarded, they are looking for me. I wander for a while, not sure where to go. Then I see there are people moving through the streets to the sound of a bell. I wonder what is happening. I go with everyone to see what is going on. Everyone is gathering around a large building that appears to be some kind of church. There are people up at the entrance to the church where there is a large patio area. One is the queen. I hate her. One is the king. I have hated him since he was a prince. I also see my sister. And soon a couple of guards come out with my father. My father doesn’t look too good, but he is able to walk on his own. I see that the cast on his leg is gone now. His leg had been broken, but now I remember healing it for him.

Prince, no King, Joffrey starts talking. He says that my father has been found guilty of treason. I guess they have something on him, because my father confessed primes I know he never committed. And then Joffrey says that his mother and his future queen want him to be merciful and let my father take the black. He then says that it’s just because we they have the soft hearts of women. I know what comes next. I focus all of my intent on Joffrey now. I focus on my telepathic abilities, which have proven to work here before. The message I sent to Joffrey is that he should bray like a donkey. I don’t have time to come up with anything better right now. Joffrey motions to the executioner, Sir Ilyn Payne, who comes over closer to him. Joffrey looks him right in the face and brace like a donkey. Everyone turns to stare at Joffrey now. Payne has the weirdest look on his face. Joffrey tries to compose himself again. I send another strong message. Drop your pants. Joffrey says that what he had been trying to say was… then he pulls down his pants. The entire gathering area is filled with people now, and many of them are laughing, some of them are making concerned sounds. No one knows what’s going on. Joffrey has turned beet red. He looks over at the queen, as if looking for help. He looks like he might cry. He reaches down and pull his pants up, looking very confused, looking around as if someone is going to come out and attack him. He has just got his pants pulled back up when I tell him to drop his pants again and snort like a pig. I have already gotten access to his mind now, and he quickly complies.

One of Joffrey’s guards, the one no one as The Hound, goes over to him. He helps Joffrey pulled his pants up yet again, and then hurries him into the church. The laughter is deafening. I almost can’t hear what the queen says when she comes over to speak. But finally she is able to make herself heard. She says that what His Grace was trying to say is that Lord Edward Stark has agreed to confess his crimes and take the black. She says hopefully he shows more loyalty to his brothers on the wall then he has to his king. She doesn’t seem to have anything to say about Joffrey‘s behavior. A lot of people are trying to ask. What’s wrong with Jeffrey? I am still watching when someone reaches from behind me and grabs me. I think I might struggle, but his hold is pretty tight. He is whispering something in my ear, and calling me a boy. I’m not a boy. For a brief instant I think he wants to kill me. But then he just starts giving me a bad haircut. He says that we are headed out for the wall tonight. And I better be ready, boy.

The Dark Tower – The Great Race

I am on a beach. I look around see if I can figure out how I got here. I see that there is a man nearby. There is also a woman in a wheelchair. They seem to be having an argument. I go closer to see if that might be why I’m here. I recognize the people. The man is Eddie, from the Dark Tower series. The woman must be Detta or Odetta. As I get closer I can tell she’s the nice one. She is not using long strings of shouted expletives. She and Eddie are arguing about whether or not he should leave a gun with her. She says that Roland will be angry. Eddie says he’s not leaving her without a way to defend herself. When I get a little closer Eddie turns and sees me. He asks if I can talk some sense into this woman? He seems to know me. I tell him that I can do better than that. I can go do whatever it is he needs to do, and he can stay with Odetta. He says he has to take the wheelchair back to get Roland. He points at a door that is standing on its own. I she words on the door, the pusher. I tell Eddie and Odetta that I will take the wheelchair back and get Roland. Eddie asks if I’m sure I can do that? He says that Roland and will be hard to push in the wheelchair. He is thinking I will be weak because I’m a girl! I give him a dirty look. I told him that I could carry Roland over my shoulder the whole way. But that wouldn’t be very comfortable for him. Eddie agrees finally and says for me to go ahead.

For the next part of the dream I am running down the beach pushing a wheelchair. I really like the fact that I don’t seem to be getting tired. It’s completely unlike how things are when I’m in the waking world. I have to go around some rocks and other obstacles on the beach, so that slows me down some. But it doesn’t slow me down much, and before I think it is possible I find Roland. Roland appears to be either unconscious or sleeping. I go over closer to him and he seems to wake up a bit. He looks up at me, he looks quite confused. He says my name, Raven, but seems unsure as to if I am real. I tell him that Eddie stayed with Odetta while I came to get him. He says that he will need to be pushed in the wheelchair, he’s not strong enough to walk. I am wondering why my healing attempt haven’t really work on him. I’m thinking maybe it is because of poison rather than just a physical injury. That can make a difference. Roland gets to his feet with much effort, and he sits down in the wheelchair. I focus some healing energy into him just to be sure he doesn’t die on the way. He seems to perk up a bit, but not enough to let him walk. He asks if I’m sure I can handle this? I tell him this will not be a problem. I get behind the wheel chair and try to push. I am actually surprised by how much harder it is to do, but that is just because I wasn’t prepared. I start pushing forward at a good rate.

I pick up speed as I am pushing Roland in his wheelchair down the beach. It is going faster and faster. A couple of times I have to make sudden adjustments to keep from running into one of the obstacles on the beach. There are rocks, Driftwood, and the hardest ones to see our places where soft sand has collected. But I managed to keep going at a quicker rate without getting in any wrecks. Once again the trip seems to go by very quickly. And once again I am liking the fact that I don’t seem to get tired. I wish I could just live all the time in the dream state. Soon we reached door. I see the door there, but I see no sign of either any or Odessa. I wonder where they could’ve gone. Roland is not in good shape, and I know he needs to go through the door to get medicine. I tell him that I will look for Eddie and Odetta. Roland says that he had intended to take Addy with him this time. I am wondering how that would work. Three people in one body? But that doesn’t really matter. Roland says Eddie still has one of his guns. He says hopefully he will not need to use it. Then he hands me the other gun. He says that when he goes through the door his body will be lifeless on the ground here. He says at that point, if the other has come back, she will be able to take the weapon with ease. I don’t need to ask the other is, I know he is talking about Debra walker. So Roland goes over to the door and manage just open it. I can see through the door, it is looking onto a busy sidewalk. I’m not sure what is going on there. Roland goes through the door, then his body collapses outside.

I start looking around now. I start calling out Eddie. I also call out Odetta. I call out Eddie and say that if the other has returned, don’t forget the song. You can bring her back. You can bring Odetta back. I continue looking for a while, and I am about to give up. I have no idea where they could’ve gone. Especially when Odetta doesn’t have her wheelchair. Hi come around a quarter in the rocks, and I stop when I hear a nasty sounding voice. It is a woman’s voice, and she tells me to stop right there. Stop right there, you home bitch. It is definitely not Odetta. I turned around to see her. She has a gun pointed at me. I am not worried about the gun. I am worried about Eddie. I ask her where it is? She says he’s around. She tells me to drop the gun Roland gave me. I told her I’m not going to do that. She says then she’ll blow my brains out. I tell her she won’t be doing it with that gun. I tell her there’s nothing she can do to hurt me, so I am certainly not worried. I ask her again where Eddie is. She says he’s just enjoying the beach. That doesn’t sound good. So I look around for Eddie some more, and I find that he is on the beach. Below the high tide marker. And somehow he’s gotten all tied up. I wonder how that’s even possible considering that he had the gun and data has no legs. I am figuring he must’ve fallen asleep, just like in the books.

Detta seems to move surprisingly fast with no legs. I hear her calling to me that I had better leave him be or she will shoot me. I’m still not worried about that. So I go down to where Eddie is tied up, and I start working on removing the ropes. Data is pretty close behind me, and I can see that Eddie is trying to warn me that fact. Detta points her gun at me. She pulls the trigger. She gets a resounding click. I get Eddie the rest of the way untied, and Detta tries to shoot me again. She gets another click for her efforts. I have Eddie completely untied now. I tell him to stay behind me while we go back and take care of Detta. I tell him that her gun can’t hurt me, but it can still hurt him. I walked right up to Detta. She tries to shoot me again, this time the gun fires. There is a loud bang that actually startles me. But the bullet seems to bounce off of my body. It might have something to do with the Mercer virus. Detta is staring in stunned silence now. So is Eddie. I take the gun away from the stunned Detta. I tell Eddie he can go back to using the song now. He needs to use the song to bring back Odetta. He doesn’t need my help for that. He goes over in front of Detta and uses the song, My Last Breath by Evanescence, and I can see when Detta changes back into Odetta. So at least for now things are safe. That is a good thing, because it is also now that I wake up.

I am showering in a bathroom I don't recognize when I hear someone enter the room. I peek around the curtain and see a friend of my dad's that I've known my whole life. He notifies me that he is getting into the shower. I tell him he needs to leave. He is getting undressed and steps into the shower. I jump out and try to get away. I turn around to look at him and his eyes have turned black. He opens his mouth and a large, snake-like tongue reaches toward me. Suddenly I realize this is a dream and want to end it. I find myself laying in bed. I rub my eyes and in my left eye I see a diamond pattern with shapes within each diamond. I focus on the pattern and it seems expand all around me. Suddenly I feel myself flung downward through my bed and I am flying. I fly to a bar in another country. It is an artsy place with teal walls and ornate decor. It has a small and intimate feel to it. People are speaking a language I don't recognize. I am drawn to a particular woman with short black hair and bangs. I try to remember the sound of the words she is saying, but as I wake up they fade away.

Dream scenes begin to form of me on a bus like a few nights ago, and I get off to find people to have sex with which lasts a while, and I explore much until I remember my dream goal. I get back on the bus to a different town, and I am taken to a house party.

Enrique is there, and I ask him, "Enrique, tell me something about myself I don't already know," and he says nonchalantly: "You're dreaming." This confuses me because I already know I'm dreaming. He tells other people this too: "Hey did you know that you're just a character in this guy's dream" I wake up.

(T:45 min)

I WILD and am in my bedroom, and I go through the garage to get outside. The blackness makes the dream less stable, but when I get out of the garage I fly in the streets, and I jump over the houses to a new town. I jump again, and figure out that I can imagine a pressure in my feet pushing me up, and I fly high up near a building wall with graffiti. I fly over the night time city.

But the dream begins again in my bed, and I go up the stairs this time and out the door. I fly over the buildings again, but this time I fly so high that I rise above the clouds and fly faster than the rotation of the earth to get to a daytime timezone. I fly into the mountains, and I try to find hikers. However, the dream ends because noise from real life wakes me up.

Woman of Shadows

I am in a house I don’t recognize. It looks like a haunted house of some kind. I also have the idea I need to find someone in there. I start exploring. Everything is creepy, there are strange noises all around me and I keep seeing shadows out of the corner of my eye that are moving but seem to disappear when I look right at them. I am also hearing strange whispering that I can’t quite understand. I’m not sure if the whispering isn’t loud enough or if it’s in a foreign language. I enter a living room with a couch and a flat screen television. The television has static on it with strange voices coming from it like some half received station. There is a couch there and I see a woman standing in shadow over near a doorway. She looks up at me and has a really strange looking grin on her face. In an instant she is then directly in front of me as if she’s trying to scare me. When I don’t scare she gets a scowl on her face and disappears with a loud shriek.

I know who I think that was… it has been Asuka, but either she was taking Halloween too seriously or something was seriously wrong. I call out to her, telling her to come back and I will help her. I get no response so I keep searching. I go down a long hallway with mirrors that do not reflect me, instead they show weird creatures crawling on the floors, walls, and ceiling of the hallway. I can’t tell what they are. I form a little ball of light energy around my hand and then use the mirror to reach out and touch the spot where one of the creatures is. There is a shriek of pain and it disappears as if it was burned. I continue down the hall and the door at the end opens on its own. I go through and it slams closed behind me. Now I see cloaked images all around me, floating around in circles around me. I think it’s supposed to be disorienting, but I gather a sphere of light energy and they all disappear as if they were nothing more than shadows.

There’s another hall, and there is strange writing on the walls in glowing paint. I don’t recognize the words or symbols though somehow I know it’s supposed to be a warning. I ignore that an continue, calling out to Asuka still. I enter an office at the end of this hall and Asuka is standing in the middle of the room… sort of. She looks more like a poorly received television signal or a glitched computer graphic. She doesn’t even seem to see me at all. She is looking around as if we were surrounded by something I can’t see. I go over to Asuka and take hold of her hand, now she notices me. I focus healing light energy through her and that makes the strange glitched effect go away. No she is standing here with me and really seeing me as if for the first time tonight. She says the demon’s name is Valek. When I look puzzled she says that’s the demon’s name, and having its name will give us power over it.

Asuka points to a black spot on the floor in the middle of the room and says that’s where the corruption begins. I call out the name Valek and command the demon to show itself. The demon appears above the circle looking really pissed. Asuka says he’s angry, but I can already see that. The demon looks a little like a bull with fire coming from its nostrils and it is glaring at me. I tell the demon to be gone from here and never return. Valek says I do not belong here. I say the demon is the one that doesn’t belong here… and now this ends. I use the song Enter Sandman by Metallica to create a vortex of light energy around the demon and ends with a large explosion of light energy that banishes all shadows in the room and passes through the walls to cleanse what’s outside. I look over at Asuka and she smiles before I wake up.

Dreams from October 8 to 9, 2017

This was one of my first Lucids of considerable length, toward the end. It was pretty exciting and encouraging.

Round 1 of Dreams

My Sister is over for a visit. I am trying to copy paste 4 columns. Something becomes too Satanic and I stop. I am in the downstairs bathroom deciding. Satan has a darth Maul face. Guy in T C G One-ish chat room asking me to play, and if I will eat these cookies. I hear I say no. I try to explain that I can't due to addiction. I hear the word "cigarette" and I see smoke coming in. It seems to be coming through a sealed door. What does it mean? Dream sign: Seeing smoke but not smelling it. I get upset. There are two faced Eckhart Tolle masks.

Round 3 of Dreams

There is lots of nasty water on the floor. Cleaning loads of nasty dishes with (removed by me). Stack of lost cell phones. (removed by me)So tired now. I think something woke me up. I feel some terror. Tired.

Round 4 of Dreams
(removed by me)Dream sign: Mom and Dad being together.
(removed by me)Something so scary, I can't pay attention.

(removed by me)


I am awake now. Dammit, I am awake now. I wonder if I should try to D J or just go back to sleep. I am so tired. I hear the noise of a plane overhead. I am angry.

Round 5 of Dreams: Justified Timetude, L D

I become lucid by paying attention to some written words. In my physical body, I am laying on my front. I start to have a dual body awareness of being in my bed, on my front, but also eating these chicken drum sticks at the same time, laying in my front. I worry that moving my arms will wake me up, but then I realize it is actually a dream. (removed by me)

I am eating chicken drum sticks out of big yellow and green bowls in the kitchen. There are thighs and wings in there, in a brown sauce. I am enjoying them. Eventually my Dad says they are old and I kind of throw them out or move on from eating them. I am eating the ones in the green bowl even though it is tipped over. I realize they could be months old.
(removed by me)

I'm at the kitchen sink, trying to do reality checks and stay lucid, and not wake up. I am worried about running out of time, or the dream ending. I affirm, "I HAVE INFINITE TIME!" while looking at the brown counter top. This seems to help.

Mom's Milanos are on the table. Woo hoo! I am excited about all this dream food. I am eating some. They are very soft. I want to save some for her.

I decide to make more of the dream. I picture the local market in my mind. I figure I will walk around the block, and go eat anything I want.

My Mom is in the living room. She is standing near the couch. She looks sad. I am pretty driven to get to the market, so I don't interact with her much. (I felt bad about this upon awakening.) She has a part of a pop tart in her hand.

The ceiling above the couch near the bay window is dripping. I am worried and want to fix it. Then I just let it go. I do move some stuff out of the way of the drip though. There is one orange vase I do something with.

Even within the dream, I have a sense of only having limited money. I want to ask if my Mom wants anything, but I think that will limit me from getting what I want.

As I think of leaving the house, I am aware that anything could happen in the dream. I could run into someone at the store. It could be a wild dinosaur world out there. That makes me hesitate to leave.



I also wrote that the bed changed places at least 3 times.

I think the idea of going to the market gave me a lot of anxiety within the dream.

In my room, I see an app on my phone called Justified Timetude. It has a battery icon but one of the sides is slanted. There is a percentage full bar in there that shows it being about half way, with half being green and half being black.

I think I remember seeing my desk underneath the window in my room. What I definitely remember is opening the window, punching out the screen window, and kind of rolling out to the front of the house. Then, I guess I got scared and ran back in through the front door, and back around to my room. Some of the sequence seems jumbled. I used to do the dream journals in more of a stream of consciousness format, without as much regard for the sequence. Now when I think through it in my head, I sequence it in my mind, before recording it.

I wake up saying, "I am still..." Because I think I was saying, "I am still dreaming", to myself in the dream.

Notes

It seemed like my Fii Write file cut off in the middle of a word. Was some of the original document lost? I hope not. It was only 4:15 A M when I finished that D J entry so there could have been room for one more.

Extended lucid dream sequence (I manage to stabilise the dream, And get laid!)

I'm on the top of a buss that's hurtling down a muddy road,that's slippery and filled with water at points. We're hurtling down, and I'm right on top of the bus. Hanging on precariously, yet stably.

The driver has to press his brakes at various times, but appears to be driving safe enough not to hit people.

Then I see gorgeous giant (naked?) women. Walking past. They all look exactly the same.

The next scene I remember is I'm in what looks like a classroom with all these ladies who look exactly the same. The story comes out that they were one person, condemned to death and are now stuck on our world, and have slit into dozens of clones in the process.

The next scene goes back to another place, where a friend of mine named Adam has seen one of these clones as he was walking up. Adam's a player and I wonder, probably assume, he's already slept with her.

Then something shakes. Adam, who's now me, go to look for it. It's a tiny black package that we had packed a dead doll into. It breaks open and this super hot clone pops out. It's like we already know each other, and we begin to take each others clothes off. This is when I get LUCID.

I don't want to make any sudden movement. It's somehow more important to me to have the dream stabilised, than to have sex. Of course, being me, I want the dream stabilised so I can have sex. Instead of trying to have sex, get excited and lose the dream.

So in previous dreams, I didn't look at the details, thinking if I looked too closely, the dream would dissolve. But I looked at a few dream stabilisation techniques yesterday, and they said feel everything, smell everything, engage your senses so you get fully immersed in the dream world.

I'm amazed at the level of detail. I see one of my blue shirts hanging on the wall, and can see the interweaving threads. I can feel every nuance in the fabric.

I go back to the Undead Zombie Alien Hottie (Uzah). I lie back on the bed, and she takes her clothes off. I'm in a hurry. I'm afraid I'll wake up before popping my lucid dream virginity. She takes her clothes off and slides onto me. It feels amazing, as good, or even better than real sex. We get jiggy for a while and I think, hey, lets have dream bum love. I put my finger up her bum, and it just feels so real. She seems to be agreeable to the bum love. So I turn her over doggy style and am about to enter her, when I get soft, and can't do it.

I don't stick around, and keep exploring the dream environment. I go into the next room, and see my friend with his wife and kid. And I start to take my clothes off - getting a bit crazy in a dream to see where it goes. But I think, nope dont go too crazy in case the dream dissolves, dont go ahead with it.

I look into his fridge and I try to remember what I see to see if it coincides with his kitchen in RL. But thinking about it now, it looks nothing like his kitchen or house at all.

I'm still using all my senses, touching the items in the fridge, feeling them, breathing the air in.

I go back into the bedroom and see Uzah, and she looks so beautiful lying in bed, that I think about having intimate cuddle sex with her. She's super tall and I think about our limbs entwining. But another friend of mine comes into the room wanting, of all things toothpaste. I walk over into the bathroom and find some toothpaste to give him.

I come back into the room and look out of the window and I see a huge lawn with people, and a flying pyramid shaped cage just floats in and sits on the grass. I walk down to the lawn and among the people. I already want to have dream sex again, but there's no one attractive enough. I walk around the lawn, feeling the grass, and then look up to see where my room is where i came from and wonder if I'll be able to get back in there.

I think I'll enter the hotel rooms and find a beautiful girl to flirt and bonk.

They say this is what you start doing when you lucid dream. Attempt to have a lot of dream sex and I think it's just a waste of time. Then again, I popped my lucid dream cherry and almost had dream bum love and doesn't honestly feel like a waste of lucid dream time to me, when I was just exploring my dream environment in my previous ones.

I attempt to climb the stairs, and instead of going the long way around (which I will in future dreams, as controlling dream limbs is sometimes difficult and the dream can easily dissolve).

I'm climbing up the garden and it gets precarious, and its hard to control my dream limbs. But I remember previously, that it was hard to control my dream limbs and I woke up. So this time, I feel the grass, the mud, the flowers, to immerse myself in the 'reality'\ of the dream environment.

I then take a step that seems pretty daring to me (in terms of risk of dream dissolving terms) as I roll down the muddy garden steps instead of walking down them.

The dream is stable enough. I go on, up the stairs into the first floor. The domestic doesn't want me there and points me towards the reception desk. I wait for him to move and then start peeking into rooms. I see couples, a beautiful brown skinned girl who looks like she thinks I'm cute, bashfully lifts her shoulders as she runs past me, I see another room where a couple are having sex with each other, and theres another guy in there having a conversation with the guy in the couple. Both the guys look at me as I stand outside the door. I walk on into the end of the corridor, and see a filthy room that has a guy sleeping on the bed, and another guy standing in the corner.

I wonder about where to go next, and as I'm vacillating the dream dissolves. Lesson learnt to always keep moving in dreams.

So yep, despite my intention not to try school night lucid dream attempts, I still set a reminder to go off at 2am saying 'You are dreaming', and it worked as I was repeatedly checking all through my dreams if I really was dreaming.

My goals of stabilsing a dream (really look into every sensory element of the dream, touch, taste, smell, even temperature), having dream sex, and an extended lucid dream, re-stabilising the dream at times when I thought it would get shaky were all met.

Now to explore other aspects like dream control, contacting my shadow self and doing some inner depth work with my sub/unconscious.

If people do want to get into lucid dreaming - I'd highly recommend a dream journal. At worst, you can analyse your dreams, and at best, you can enter a different world that you can slowly begin to control, almost every night.

4 back to back (albeit short) lucid dreams.

Prepwork: Daily dream journaling, daily 'Am I dreaming'
check ins, and probably most importantly - setting a reminder to go off a couple of hours after I fall asleep saying 'you are in a dream'.

Whilst I haven't been dreaming when that reminder has gone off, it does stay in my consciousness for the next couple of hours. My goal: No sudden movements. Just work on stabilising the dream environment.

1. I'm in a pub across different levels. I'm trying to get to an upper level, when I realise I'm dreaming and get Lucid. I walk across the stairs, but when there's rungs, I can't use my legs in the dream to climb up. I try using my hands for support to pull me up, but this doesn't work either. The dream dissolves.

2. I'm in a car with two famous actresses on either side of me in car, and one of them's driving. And I think hey, doctor/psychiatrist in the day, and the two hottest actresses in the world on either side by night. 'Almost sounds like a dream', I say to my companions, and then realise it is a dream and get Lucid. I tell them to chill out even if it is a dream, as I want the dream to stay stable. We drive to the top of the hill, and I can crane my head all the way around and see the road drop away by the hillside probably into the ocean. We reach the top of the hill, and there's a bar called 6 pack, but the dream dissolves before we can enter it.

3. Another where I'm at a lucid dreaming workshop and leave it, I then become Lucid, only to return to speak to people, but wake up on my way back. Okay, to be honest. I saw a couple of hotties in the other room and went back to find them, but hey, overexcitement caused the dream to dissolve.

4. Another dream where I get lucid in a closed room. I walk around the room, closely examining everything but feel my feet touching each other on the bed, and my feet touch each other in the dream and I stumble.

- the reason I'm sharing pretty trivial details is not so much the details, but the process I'm working through and what is working, doesn't work if there are people trying to replicate it. Changes of scenery, not being able to control my body for complex movements in dreams, getting excited, running are all ways that end up dissolving the dream.

I think to stabilise my dreams, I should say 'dream stabilise!' or some other command, and better meditations so I'm more grounded in my dreams.

Setting a reminder to go off a couple of hours into sleep is a boss move to be constantly aware to check if I'm dreaming. This helps me get back to back lucid dreams. Daily dream journaling is a must tho'.

I wouldn't recommend trying to lucid dream in the week, as it eats into precious school night sleeps. But A-OK to try it on weekends.

For this lucid I will use a purplish color since the dreams were eerie and like a nightmare.

Strange

I was lucid crawling in a long narrow blue tunnel that represented my mind. As I crawled in there I saw my mother pass by and quickly followed her. I lost her for a moment but I chose which path to go through, ready for whatever came. The last thing I saw was a small hole on the side of the tunnel. A red/yellow eye filled the hole and peered at me as I looked. The scene changes to my room next.Someone is positioning me in the right place but I move away than wake up

Strange, Strange Place

I was non lucid trying to find my way out of a preschool. The principal was trying to make me stay because I found out about them abusing children.Somehow I managed to get away though.

Next I recall being with a group of guys in a different place that felt like the Caribbean.I was given a empty gallon holding pill drugs. Apparently it was our source of power and would keep us away from the cops and people who wanted to get rid of us. But as we were walking outside a group of cops were called in and they were searching for those with our power. I quickly took the drug in an attempt to get away but ended up in the same place with time turned back. It felt like I died many times before that so I asked my friend next to me "how much longer do we have to do this before we find our home?". He said he wasn't sure but to follow him. I followed him, hoping this rick and morty dimension jumping thing would stop. (I don't watch the show but did see a few scenes on youtube before).After following him we spread out cause of the cops again. I ended up running into a crowd of cannibals."Stay back or taste my fire!"I shouted than burned them all. They didn't burn completely but it was enough to get away.

The scene changed after that and I was watching a video of my mom's old friends on vacation in a Caribbean water park. I than stopped watching the video, saw a image of a bloody scene and turned away to notice I was by myself in a small wooden house. It felt like I was in Africa alone and I could feel a presence waiting to jump out from the dark room.

I quickly ran out and held the phone trying to message my father but I noticed I was now in a huge parking lot where people were selling and buying things from swindlers or those trying to make a living."I better hide this before someone steals it and I'm left on my own". I put the phone under my shirt and pretended to have a hurt stomach as I walked. A tall, slim dark skinned man sees me and approaches. "What do you have in there? Take it out right now".I dont take it out and reply "It's a box with ice inside. I have a stomach ache". He doesn't believe and continues to follow me. "Look at the shape of it. You going to tell me that's a box?Take it out right now" he said. I didn't trust him so I still didn't. Than suddenly a chubby pale boy wearing orange takes out a huge gun and begins arguing with his mother near a crowd. The mother pleads with him not to shoot but he starts shooting her and those in the crowd. I run away to behind a fence than look quickly. After that I crawl quickly on the ground to get further away without being noticed. The guy who was pestering managed to get away as well.

Last thing that happened was I ended up in a hotel trying to call my dad on the phone and wondering
how much more distance would I have to run to get away from the danger.

My alarm is going off. It's incredibly loud and annoying, and my hands are trembling as I try to shut it off. I'm swiping for all I'm worth, and the icons on the screen are sliding left and right, but that sound continues.

I realize that it's not my phone ringing at all. It's my wife's phone. I grab her phone from her and swipe ... swipe ... swipe! ...

The sound is piercing and persistent and annoying.

It goes on for about ten seconds, and I'm thinking about launching the phone at the wall when it dawns on me that this phone isn't ringing either. The ringtone is different.

I wake myself up, genuinely rising out of sleep, and I open my heavy eyes. Beside the bed, my wife's Kindle alarm is going off.

I reach over like a man clawing toward safety, grab the Kindle, swipe toward 'dismiss' or whatever it says.

Finally, It stops.

I was non lucid at my father's house paying attention to a strange small man with a orange tech wrapped around his body. As I observed him, listened and looked at the random animals popping up around the yard I became lucid."I gotta go" I told the small man that sort of reminds me of tingle. He didn't seem like he wanted me to leave but I just jumped out the window than flew around the house. I changed my mind about roaming about like usual though. After going inside i found my older sister and a black cat that looked like the kitten my brother had gotten than gave away. As the cat bit an object on the ground I picked up a dream phone and looked at the numbers/letters." I know I usually use words or numbers but this time I'm just gonna use feeling only".

I thought about having a signal with Dawn and the feeling of his presence until I heard his voice. "Uh,Hi this is...".I stopped myself."Should I try a prank call for fun?".I changed my mind though and decided to hear him out after saying who I was. But than I heard someone arguing with him while he was on the phone.I tried responding but than a double of my voice appeared.Putting the phone away now I went out the door to see people on bleachers near the beach. A surfing competition was going on. After poking a D.C. I heard the voice of the guy arguing with Dawn. I wanted to get a better look at the bottom part of where I was so I swung down with a salmon colored curtain. I ended going down hard though and covering the surfers with the curtain. Someone flew to help me and the surfers after that but I woke up.

I was somewhat aware it was a dream but also stuck on observing.

I was watching a little Japanese girl with short black bob hair in a white/purple jacket crying on the sidewalk. She looked like she was eight or 10. A few adults and a little girl see her crying and walk up to her asking her what's wrong. The little girl replys that she is sad she can't write a story. A blonde tall woman in a long cotton brown jacket, wearing a scarf than sings in a high note and tells her to try and match up with her. The little girl try's and they laugh together. The woman than tells her that she can create any story she wants if she puts her mind to it and to keep trying.The little girl listens to her gratefully than runs around,goes into a store than out but before she heads home she is approached by a tall slim man who was in the group.

He starts talking to her by telling her a story with a suspenseful, funny tone."There was a guy named mettaton who called those around to touch him.Here, Here,Here,Here and here". As he said that and touched himself fluffy gray cotton balls popped up on his long jacket. Than he continued "But there was something missing. He couldn't find his whip. But than.......He disappeared". I woke up after that pretty content with the dream since I found it heart warming and funny. The ending got me cause I woke up after he said "disappeared".

Getting my recall up a little bit.

Abandoned house

I was in my old house from 1998 in chilliwack. All the flooring had been pulled up and I was in the living room sitting on plywood with Val from work. She had an oddly shaped tupperware container - It had a big shelf or ledge around the perimeter which contained bags of tex mex and various chocolate snacks. In the middle was just a drop with nothing in it. She told me I could have a box of something and that there was chocolate fudge in there somewhere.

I fished around the bowl for a while making a note of everything. I couldn't find anything with chocolate fudge... I asked her where the fudge was? She pointed too a white box with brown lettering on the side. I opened the box and there was a smaller pop tart like package I culled the box out and somehow spilled the tex mex stuff down the middle. "NOOO!" I said trying to stuff the contents back in the bag, "I spilled it all." Val didn't even seem concerned about that. I pulled the pop tart like thing out of the other box and she took the box and placed it back in the container with all the other stuff. I was about to eat my snack when...

FA, In the bedroom of that house? I look and see there's a window with tree branches swaying in the wind but something doesn't seem right (It's also night time or dawn in the dream.) A ghostly hand is swaying amongst the branches. At first I think it's a trick of the shadows but then it begins to wave at me... I suddenly feel terror and close my eyes like Danny in the shining. I count a few seconds and open them but I'm really awake now in a completely different room than the dream one, (Not facing any window.)

Random stuff

First I remember being in a house with my cousin K, and various other people. She was mad at me for something. which brought on a false memory of my aunt accusing me of the same thing. I got really angry and defensive.

Next I'm at some party with people from McDonald's in a big apartment complex. None of them are people I know in waking but I seem to know them somehow? It's all pretty boring so I go outside for a smoke. I run into someone that looks kind of like M from work She invites me to the party for the Mcd's that I used to work at. I follow her and we run into a bunch of people I don't know. mainly a bunch of uninteresting effete men with wavy died hair.

Dream skips forward a bit and I'm in a big weird I'm following my brother around mall. There's like a half waterpark around. I follow him up some green part with a parkour for dreams like obstacle, but I can't jump it very well. My dad is off in the distance on a landing waiting for us. My brother sits on something like a sprinkler for laughs. He asks me to try it but I say no. we are about to leave when I wake up.
