Friend of a monster

I was sleeping outside, on the hillside next to a small dirt road, next to a forest. I got up slowly and saw an overweight kid biking towards me from what I assume is a small town in the middle of this forest. I walked over to him. He was scared of a monster that had been in the area. He wanted to hide in the forest. I joined him.

In the forest, there was a clearing with a house on the edge of it. There was also a massive tv screen attached to two trees not too far away. It had live feed from a camera, but we saw nobody around. Someone was filming us and we couldn't see them. Pretty quickly we figured out it must be the monster and it was invisible. We kept looking around in panic, anticipating an attack. Then I felt a connection with the monster. He was human, invisible and had the ability to move objects with his mind. He gently lifted me in the air and placed me on top of the house. He didn't want to harm me, but the other kid had done something to piss him off. I could sense that he wanted to hurt the kid. I didn't want that...and I guess the monster sensed how I felt. He stopped and instead tried to lift the kid on the roof as well. The kid was too heavy and just flailed in the air for a bit, until I woke up.

WBTB. I was up stretching, drank some water, and visualized becoming lucid in the previous dream. I was up for 40min. Fell asleep with the mantra "I'm dreaming", which has worked fine for me before.

7:00-8:03

LD 81 - Flow

I'm a disembodied observer in the same forest from the previous dream. I wander to a river. There are some sewer pipes that I focus on, because the river was flowing into the sewer and it seemed really odd. I'll skip describing it, but I studied the system closely. I got out of the underground pipe system and I was in a different part of the forest. There was a small abandoned town next to the river, on a small hill.

I manifested a body in the middle of the town. The town was literally just six small houses or something. They were built around a small marketplace with a well. Next to the well were two unusually large apples that had been peeled weirdly. I picked one of the apples from the ground and used the water from the well to clean it a bit. The water in the well was dirty. Then a short monologue happened in my mind.

"I shouldn't eat this apple."
"Why?"
"Because it was on the ground and isn't yours."
"This is my dream I can do what I want!...wait"

Finally the lights turn on in my head. I take a bite out of the apple and throw it away. I continue walking through the empty town. I sometimes question if I was actually lucid in a dream, if I didn't RC...so I do that just in case. I plug my nose and breathe through easily. The dream was a bit fuzzy. I look at my hand to stabilize. Some fingers look like baby fingers, mildly disturbing. I force them to change into normal fingers.

I have my earphones on and I hear music. Outside of the town there is a vast field with tall grass, flowers, bushes and stuff like that. Forest continues in the distance. It becomes extremely windy and the wind changes direction constantly. It's sunny. I just enjoy the view for a moment. I recall all the goals I have: burning building, evil wizard, frozen planet, dream guide etc. But I want to focus on staying in the lucid dream as long as I can. I want to go with the flow, I won't force anything.

A biking trail appears in the field as I walk forward. Then two DCs bike backwards towards me. They look like the mountain guides in the Himalayas. I stop them and ask the one with a funny hat to guide me to the frozen planet. I ask his name, but the music and wind makes me unable to hear it. He starts walking somewhere and I follow. I expect to see a building and one appears on the edge of the field.

Inside the building is a break room and more DCs. Some of them look European. There's a stack of electronic devices on one cupboard. Some annoying noise is coming from them and the DCs don't like it. I just touch one radio and the noise disappears. I ask a new DC to guide me to the frozen planet. He agrees and starts leaving the room. I ask his name, but can't recall it anymore. (Goddamn it! Is it that hard to remember one name?!) The corridor outside the break room is dark. Wait, it's the dream fading...and I'm awake.

D1: Non-Lucid: A guy looked a lot like "Chuck" Saul's brother, from "Better call Saul". So I went there w/ the pony & it turned out to be something like a big feed store where you buy in bulk for animal food. He had some stalls in the back. The guy got really mad at me & said that we didn't deserve a pony & that we murdered our dogs. He told me we were criminals. Kept calling me a dog murderer. I was crying in my dream & in real life. I could here myself. So I knew I was dreaming but I still had to defend myself for personal reasons. I told him that wasn't what happened. I was hysterical & he kept yelling. But then he went around the corner which is the exact moment I knew I was dreaming, crying, & screaming. I started back in on him after I rounded the corner. He suddenly stopped & looked at me like I was crazy & said, "what are you talking about, I didn't say that."

I woke up still screaming & crying & Meesha Cat was loving on me. Then I realized all the screaming had freaked her out & woke her up. She had peed all over my bed. This was not a good start to the morning. I had to get up & wash all my shit & console my poor cat. So I finally got back to bed about 2 hrs later... Oh, & the dream was some small guilt I still carry about rehousing our dogs due to my health. They all got homes & yes I now have a cat but she's never under foot like they were.


D2: Lucid- Mike & I were driving to go see my Grandpa Harry. (He passed away 24 yrs ago) We were going around a sharp curve on what looked like the side of a mountain.It was getting dark & I was starting to panic. Something went wrong w/ the brakes & we were airborne. I was driving. I held his hand & said "I love you, Mike." I thought we were going to die! I had this strange feeling right then though. I had to try & do something. Part of me thought this has to be a dream & part of me thought this could be real. So when I told him I loved him & held his hand I went full on lucid. I slowed down time & willed us to be in a bubble away from the car & we slowly floated down.

D3: I had a big fight w/ a guy who was treating like shit. Apparently he was seeing me & another woman. I got really mad & started teleporting all around which freaked him out while I was yelling at him. He was so confused, lol. I started to get lucid but my phone went off & I had to deal w/ real life. Sigh. That would've been 2 lucids. Oh well.

I become aware once again of my body in bed and feel slight vibration going through, and intensify them. Sensations fade, yet come back soon, and I once again intensify the vibration in my head as well as the sinking feel. I don't feel it's time to start sliding yet, so I think quickly to dream yoga techs, and decide on using some visual techs to jumpstart the lucid. I imagine some colors filling the visual field, and my mind soon produces a house with a blueish roof and whitish side. I feel it's time to imagine 'sinking' into a dream scene. I intensify the sinking and suddenly find myself ready to stand up from the floor in the front of a dark house. I have a bit of difficulty standing up at first, but tell myself 'Eric, this is a dream; you should have no problem whatsoever standing up.' I stand up quickly and begin to walk into the main entryway of the house. I stare to the other end of the dark room and see some couches and a painting up on the wall. Things remain a bit blurry. I turn right and feel I need some stabilization so I rub hands. I ramp up all my senses at this point to ground in. I mentally tell myself that my body is in bed right now, and I full control in this place. I take a moment to reflect on the implications of my physical body being in a different location, and find it very fascinating. I continue through the walkway and enter to a very large kitchen area. I want to engage more tactile sense, so I quickly drop down and move on hands and knees, feeling my feet, knees and hands coming in contact with the cold white tiles. The vividness increases as I approach the large arched counter-top. I go behind the counter and stand up. I still want to be more stable, and refuse to let the dream fade. I rub hands real quick, then jump in the sink, turn the water on and feel all the cold water rushing around my body. Stability increases as well as vividness. I remember a suggestion in a podcast of eating and engaging up to all five senses. I see a fridge and think dark chocolate would be awesome. I approach the white fridge, and reach in fully expecting a dark chocolate bar. I pull out a cold dark choco bar with sections joining into a square rod. I eat fairly quickly, and remember to engage all senses including hearing. The taste is pretty good actually, and it's cold. I focus on feeling the invigorating effects- another dream goal. The dream becomes far more stable and vivid, and I decide to grab a few more items and continue exploring. I grab another dark choco bark, a chocolate glazed donut, and a chocolate brownie, why not? I place them all on the counter to the left, appreciate the detailed colors, and carry them into the next room. I make I right and figure I can sit by the sliding glass in the adjoining room and watch as the rain comes down. I then turn and see a dimly lit peninsula counter-top with wooden stools pushed into it. The area has a very rustic decor with open space. I get closer and see an empty coffee mug, and realize this is where the family has breakfast. I set all my items down and go to take a seat. I look at the brownie and it lightened in color. I take a bite, but it has the consistency of cardboard, and little taste. I bite once more. I drift back to my body and realize the bed sheets are partway in my mouth...

(Dreaming hasn't been a focus lately, but: )

I'm floating in a void full of clouds and stars, and recognize that I'm lucid. A destination comes to mind - not one I'd planned in advance, it's an impulse. With that thought, I have the impression I've changed direction, moving closer to the earth - slightly negative connotations here; not bad, just frivolous.

I'm in a bar; it serves as a front room for my actual destination. There's conversation, people sitting around at tables; the bartender's a heavyset and balding man. Asks what I want to drink. I believe I'm not physical enough here to either drink or pay for anything, but refusing to order anything isn't acceptable, so I ask for a water. I'm thinking about the unusual vividness of this scene. The man to my right, clearly a regular, starts talking to me and the bartender, talking about the guy who owns this place (the person I came here to see) and the way things are done here; I'm going to have to set up a tab before I can order anything, even water. The bartender asks to see my phone in order to give me the owner's number. I take it out, but the screen's showing what I think of as the real world, in contrast to this place. I'm concerned about the bartender seeing that and recognizing that I'm out of place here. I hand him the phone anyway. He programs the number in without seeing anything out of the ordinary and hands my phone back.

The image on the phone, my 'real' world, is showing a woman with dirty blonde hair, winter clothing, knit hat, walking on a narrow street at night, the outskirts of a small city maybe, lots of greenery around on this particular street but the sense that there's a much more heavily built up area within walking distance. She's talking to someone, male, a friend or a sibling. The scene shifts so I'm there with them. They walk, they talk, they're being followed by something other than me. There's a sense of the dream becoming a nightmare.

As they entered an apartment building, I made the mistake of reacting to the other thing following them, thus letting it realize I was aware of it and attracting its attention. It attempted to latch onto me instead, and in the next scene it's taken on the role of my younger sibling (not one of my actual IRL ones), inserting itself into a role in my dream the same way it had been playing a role in that woman's dream. There was a brief moment where I accepted it as my sibling, before I remembered. It was very shocked when I hurt it in the process of removing it. "Ow, ow, you're hurting me!" "Get off of me, then." It did, and I woke up.

I'm in a dark room, and I turn over to look at a clock. It reads around 8:15, so I look away and look back. It still reads 8:15. This doesn't make sense as I know I need to be up at 6:10. I check my phone, but the buttons do not light up the screen after several attempts. I'm pretty sure I'm dreaming, so I noseplug and I'm lucid. I turn to me left and take a step, but quickly lose visuals and enter the blackness. I think back to the discussion on the black void vs white void and reflect on how this is the 'black void'. I begin to question access to memory and feel certain that I am in fact aware in this place, and can remember my dream goal of going to a mystic forest or resihi forest. I then wonder about the perception of this memory in the future and how to determine that it's not in fact a false memory... Well, I really feel like I'm here and now inside the void pondering this! I decide to wait for a dream to begin, and use a dream yoga visual tech of turning my visual field green. I then begin to picture myself in a lush forest with dense moss on the trees, and the scene appears in fairly good vividness. The visuals fade a bit, and I start stabilizing by singing a song that comes to mind. My voice is terrible, and I'm finding the whole attempt really funny. I become aware of a bright window to my right after the visuals became a bit dark, so I walk over. I see a rain forest them superimposed over M-Street. It is the most awesome this realm has ever looked. A light green hue hangs over the scene as dawn approaches. A light mist hangs in the air as well. The street is completely flooded with water, and a couple of jeeps are parked. I see the additional tall green trees out in the yard area and jump out the window. I see a three story basketball hoop and decide to swing myself up really high off of the net. As I descend, I use super-reach to grab the bottom of the net, and fling my body onto the black metal rim. I land perfectly and stare down as I stand solidly. I look around at the treetops and decide to fly to the right. I do a loop around the area, and see a bar area below. It reminds me of the restaurant by the bay that I recently took my parents to. A couple workers are in black and white vests behind the low black countertops preparing drinks. I get closer and hear some really interesting lounge type music playing. I turn away for the time and want to focus on dream goals I think back to the goal of consuming wild reishi that gives super lucid abilities. I approach the trees, simply telling myself that reishi will be there - of course it'll be there! Why wouldn't it? I approach and see that the trunks are made of thin metal. I look more closely with expectation and a small dark primordial stage mushroom is growing. No time to make a tea, so I eat it and tell myself it'll contain the super abilities. I continue looking upward expecting more, and increasing amounts begin to appear vertically in increasing size. They are very dark red with a rough exterior texture. I have a few more of different shapes but begin to actually feel my dream body with a 'full' sensation. I don't want any more at this point. I turn away and head back to the bar area. I want to see if they have any cacao drinks available. I fly over and begin looking around all of there toppings, yet only see cheese toppings and other similar condiments. I stop looking, and fly away listening to the music. I head back to the flooded street, really appreciating the greenish mist hanging over thescene. I start thinking of other dream goals I had come up with. I quickly wake for the day.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was working at WCP. Bev, my manager, asked me to take over the front desk while she worked out. I was happy to be working there, and seeing all the members again. Mai was complaining about something. I saw Steven from my physio class, and I wondered how he had done in anatomy. Then I realized that I had just snoozed, as I was actually about to wake up to write my anatomy final. I pinched my nose, and confirmed I was dreaming. I wanted to impress Steven, so I tried throwing spiderweb at him, but instead, confetti paper shot out of my hand. I laughed and the dream started to destabilize. I recognized my alarm waking me up, and wondered if I could shut if off inside my dream. I grabbed my phone in the dream and tried to shut it off, but it didn't work. I woke up, and got ready to write my anatomy final.

18/8/16
Dream 1: looking at dota articles on tv, get in car with dad, driving along on freeway, nearly lose control car breaks down, guy comes after while, swings hammer through window, knocks dome of my teeth out, i get angry and then sort of lucid, spin around and sort of jump to another dream, then drive out and chase him down before smashing him with a hammer, lose lucidity then get home and play minecraft a bit

Fragment: Another dream

I finally had my first Lucid dream after 2 and half month!
I am so happy, even though it lasted 10 seconds. It was a cool experience.

It was vild like method combined with the wild method.
My dream did go like this:

I was visualizing my scene, and suddenly after seeing my sister eat dinner, I was on a bike, and I rode at full speed through the city. I did A RC while being on the bike, (a nose RC) and it worked! I could breathe in.

Happy inside, I rode on my bike a little more, and then wanted to fly and leave my bike behind. But at that point I woke up..

I couldn't fly, but it was still amazing, I knew I was dreaming, and I really felt the wind through my hair, and the speed of my bike.

I hope I'll get more LD's, and a little longer then this<3

Had a DILD this morning. I dreamed I was at work and music was blaring out my laptop. I tried to find the mute button but could not find it. At that point, I figured I was dreaming because of the foolishness of my macbook not having a mute button. I explored a little bit and I think I lost lucidity along the way or something.

Wasn't able to write this up straight away but I'll try remember what I can..

Dream
I think this was a dream where me and someone else were running from this ape-like beast. At some point I think I was climbing across a few beams.. I saw my hands and became lucid, but I woke shortly after. I was too tired for a lucid and eventually fell back asleep to the same dream.

I'm not going to be fully detailed with this entry but it was weird. I was in my house and with Dawn but he was half furry or animal. I jumped on his back and told him that we would do the dhl mission together but that we needed to get MadMonkey. MadMonkey's voice came up how I imagined it but when Dawn was walking to the room with me Dawn's voice changed and MadMonkey didn't take a form but ended up vanishing. Dawn's voice sounded like Eye's voice but it was somewhat different.

Than Dawn dissapeared and reappeared next to me. When I entered the room Dawn followed and we sat on the bed. I asked him to show me his true form. He said okay and changed and fell into my hand. He was the size of a small hand stuff toy but he looked like a baby cat with redish pink skin and no fur. His eyes were closed as well. I told him he was cute and kissed him. He stayed in that form for a bit than moved until he collapsed and changed into a red puff of smoke. He than tried going inside me. I tried pushing him back but most of him already got inside of me. I knew that these characters that go in me are apart of me but gosh, I disliked it that way.

Anyways I was now being pushed downward and falling at a fast speed. The dream world now became a huge white space with blacks 0s and objects going up as I went down. I could see for a few seconds the outline of the cat form pushing me down. I got a thought about a myth where if you fall down from a very high height in a dream and hit the ground you die. I heard about it from friends when I was a little girl. Anyways I decided that I wasn't going to let myself be pushed around and flew in a U turn up and bursted through the 0's. Than just kept going up and as I flew I thought about waking up. What I got though was a FA where I was staying at my sister's house and it was nightime but she wanted to watch a movie with this guy. I didn't want to watch it because supposedly the movie involved a grandma becoming a spirit and going on a dramatic family adventure. It was also a comedy. I remember hearing the Grandma ask for skittles too in the movie.

#493 – DILD – 9:08AM

There is some preliminary dream about my wife looking very Asian. I am taken aback by this, but quickly have a false memory that this is how she is supposed to be. I have warm feelings of love and communicate this to her as I normally do in waking life.

Now it's a false awakening and I decide to just go ahead and sleep on the floor... or did I wake up there? I have the thought that the uncomfortable sleep should help me induce a lucid dream since I have been failing all morning. As I try to have a WILD, my wife starts talking and asking questions about what I am doing. Typical dream wife! I don't get too annoyed, but I do my best to ignore her. As I watch her groping hand over the edge the bed looking to make contact with me, I mumble something about trying to have a lucid dream.

Suddenly, I am overly worried about waking up on time for work. I know I must have set the alarm for 5am but I need to make sure. I get up and try to check the alarm clock on the dresser, but none of the buttons are working and the digits are distorted. There is a VCR next to the alarm clock that I take for granted, but the time is all zeros. Frustrated, I leave the bedroom looking for my cell phone, but quickly notice it's in my right pocket. I pull it out and hit the side button. The screen dimly lights up for just a second and then fades out. Then I finally get it! What if I am already in a dream? I do a quick half-assed nose plug and agree that this is indeed a lucid dream. At that point, the dream becomes dark and I nearly wake up, but I quickly stabilize by crawling and peering into the darkness – my usual bag of tricks. The dream quickly stabilizes and I stand back up.

I look around the dream environment and notice that I am in the first house I ever purchased back when I first started lucid dreaming. There is no irony here, just time distortion. Forgetting that, I become over-whelmed with euphoria that I am lucid dreaming and shout, “OH LUCID DREAMING! HOW I'VE MISSED YOU!” Then at a normal tone, “I did it. I really did it.” I notice a large, old-looking, child's book on the floor. I try to read it. I name off some random words that appear out of the alphabet soup swimming on the pages. I decide this random garbage isn't worth my time and throw the book away.

I decide to leave the house but find the back door is missing. I find this mildly curious, but I don't let it deter me as I swiftly move to the front. I pause at the other exit and think about the daylight and the grass I just saw outside the large pained window in the living room. I use expectation to enter that world and not the dark abyss that sometimes grips me when I transition areas. My efforts pan out, but I do notice the somber, overcast sky. The grass is looking really dry with a lot of brown patches.

I recall my dream goal to talk to an animal; I had a really funny dream about a talking rooster the night before and wanted to repeat some of that experience. This time a large white husky type dog comes running to me. He's so excited to see me. He dashes around me letting me pet him a little then runs circles around me. After a moment of play, I mentally tell him to talk and he quickly reminds me of the dog from the movie Up “OH my master. I am so happy to see you.” Something about this is disappointing and I decide to mimic the chicken from my other dream hoping to recapture the humor there. I say, “Cockadoodledoo maaannn.” Yes the chicken from my dream sounded like an old burned out hippie. The reply I get is total unexpected and that's what I love about my dreams. I hear an echoing answer from across the street, but it's no chicken that I can tell. How do chickens sound when they talk? Not like this, I suppose. Certainly not like the dream that had me laughing all day. No, the voice sounds like a little boy and I am curious to find it's owner. We play a quick game of Marco Polo, stoner rooster edition, and I am taken across a large yard to a barbed-wire fence. Because of the nature of dreams, I know this could turn into a tangled mess so I quickly decide to phase right through the wire. There is some fight, but I mange just fine. I sense the boy is calling to me from this old farm house that's now in my sights, but just before I reach it, the dream switches to black and I wake up. Damn the luck!

I dreamt about my liking of the color grey in a grey room

: I I fell asleep and had a non lucid. Than when I woke up around 3am I felt like dream raging. Which is another term for releasing your anger or frustration out in the dream world and the characters. I think I could have made a better choice but I'm not perfect. -.-

Dream # 2

I appeared in my room and as I was looking at my dresser I asked myself in my head if it was possible I could have been dreaming.I remembered at that time that I was asleep and wanted to have a lucid dream in my room. It's usually the easiest way for me to get lucid. However, a invisible dream character appeared and started pushing me around. Flipping me and threatened it was going to hang me with a rope. I saw the neck rope appear around my neck but ignored it and called for Dawn. He wasn't coming so I gave up and made the dc disappear on my own. I slowly fell onto the bed when I did and noticed a blue parakeet that reminded me of Verano. I picked him up and kissed him. I let him go when I thought of the door and heard a voice that sounded like my cousin though. I grew impatient at that time and wanted Dawn to appear on command like before so I shouted "help me!" Until I noticed my voice sounded like a different voice. I even tried shouting Nebulus just for the heck of it but no one I wanted came. I than jumped on the wall and tried to go through the roof but I couldn't because I had a feeling I was going about things the wrong way. I woke up after that.

Dream #3

I was trying to log onto my account for school but kept getting the password wrong.What I recall next was watching a show in another room of my house. There was a tall guy who looked like Willy Wonka from the movie. He was tossing himself around in the air and laughing. Something else happened after that but I don't remember. What I do recall is being at a bright orange textured room where there was a guy that caught my attention. He had bought mc donalds food from what was supposed to be the breakfast menu. "Wait a minute. This is a dream."I told him. He looked at me not expecting my reaction but said I was right. I than asked to look in his bag and he said okay. I opened the bag thinking of how MadMonkey wanted to eat with his dream guide and felt like doing the same. However, I felt distant from them now. I saw fries in the bag, hamburgers but what really caught my attention was a big hashbrown."Oo~ Do you mind if I eat this?"I asked. He said no so I took a big bite and it was hot, crunchy and changed to a sort of watery feeling. This made me think of the point Dolphin brought up in a thread about feeling. I swallowed it than looked at the dc and said it was hot and crunchy and sort of watery. He looked content watching me taste stuff in the dream but than saw another dc roaming around who was his red haired friend.I followed them but than lost lucidity after ending up in the city somehow. As I was walking I turned and saw a guy dc that had familiar features."I know I'm dreaming! Are you my dream guide in disguise!?"I asked him.He laughed a bit, looked both ways than back at me and replied with a yes."What are you trying to teach me!?" I asked him.He started walking towards me and said there were 3 things I still had to learn. I said something rude to him after that just to dream rage and he ended up laughing at my behavior than faded. I than watched as the red haired guy appeared again and was trying to get something out of a corner with his tools. Woke up after I became non lucid and was painting dots on someone's photograph of their penguin.

I think that's enough dream raging for now.^.^"

I continue to feel my body relaxing while focusing on increasing the 'sinking' feeling as well as full body tactile sense. I feel that it's time to start moving a dream body into a scene. I become aware of visuals forming around me, and a lot brown color begins appearing along with a soft looking texture. I find myself laying down in the front seats of a car. I begin reaching for the wooden dashboard with my dream arms as I focus on sliding my whole body over. I mentally tell myself it's time to stand and I'm free to go. I want to phase out of the sedan with brown velvety interior, so I head to the back, happy to have transitioned through the WILD. Once my head backs through the rear of the car, my visuals become very blurry and my movement feels a bit impeded. The dream begins to transition to a white void, and I allow it as I figure I'll just wait for the next scene. I stay focused and decide to try the new stabilization goal of slamming the ground with an open palm, like a 'thunderclap', as opposed to clapping hands. I kneel down in the white void and try it twice, but there's no solid contact, and no sound. I experiment with hand clapping, and feel the contact as well as the loud sound. I verbally tell myself to just hang in a bit longer, and wait for the scene. I begin to notice a few faint colors and shapes appearing very slowly, then a light-walled room forms around me along with a door with sparse paint splatters and a bronze circular handle. A back corner appears along with a few light switches and an exercise bike. I jog my memory for some dream goals and remember the visiting a Dream Shaman in his hut, and eating some cacao. I head over to the exercise bike and flick open the plastic box on the handle for some dark chocolate. There's none inside. I want to stay engaged with tactile sense, so I feel all the light switches on the wall. I look left to the door and decide to head through, and want to head to the Reishi Forest. I close my eyes and imagine a lush forest as I reach out, turn the handle and pull. I open my eyes, but it just connects to a descending staircase, in similar design to the previous room. I walk down and see a large black figure standing midway down. It's a large black wolf. I think back to a recent lucid and want to use a taming chant on it to make it a dream companion. I stick out my hand and chant two syllables which come to me intuitively. It sound similar to "come here" in polish. The large wolf heads behind me and I know that it's loyal now. I continue walking down the steps, but I immediately return to my waking body and have my first experience of my waking eyes spontaneously opening slightly after a dream.
