    1. Dream Jumps

      by , 08-18-2016 at 06:18 PM
      I remember I was being abducted by an alien kid but then our spaceship was attacked and we started floating in space in something that looked like a giant glove...?

      Then as I slipped out the glove and started floating in space, I realisd I was dreaming, because if I were really in space I'd be dead, not breathing, so I decided to float around some more but then I woke up.....or so I thought.

      I was back at my home which I 'woke up' in, but the scenary outside my window looked completely different, making me realise I was dreaming again. I decided to change my dream scape to Undertale and then everything became 2D. (It was very weird. that's all I can say, I really can't put it into words.) There, I saw Sans who was about to get killed by Chara, but then I stepped in and took the blow for him and I woke up.....but I didn't.

      I was once again back at my home, this time when I 'woke up' I instantly knew I was dreaming again, I don't know why. Then I started messing around with the dreamscape and tried to make Sans appear infront of me, I tried expecting him in the next room, and it worked except he didn't look accurate. So, I recalled one of the tutoriels on DV about summoning dream characters, so I told the dream character, "Ok, I'm gonna turn around and when I turn again, I want you to look exactly like Sans."

      So, I turned around and when I turned back, the dream character looked a bit better, but I wasn't satisfied yet. so I did the same process again, but when I turned and faced him again, he looked completely different and demonic.

      The dream character was angry, "You think I'm some toy for you to play with?!" At first I was intimidated by the creature but since I knew it was all a dream, I just smirked, "This is my dream. It doesn't matter whether you abide by my wishes or not. You will fade away at the end of them all."

      Then, I recieved an interesting answer, "That's what you think." Then the dream ended...

    3. Sleep Now In The Fire

      by , 08-18-2016 at 12:47 AM (Oneirin's Dreamworld)
      I'm in the passenger seat, driving with my brother down a road at daytime. The dream is highly vivid. I see a green pickup against the trees on the opposite side of the highway, crashed. I then see a school bus swerve, tipping into the trees and crashign. i'm alarmed at first, then feel that something about this is very strange. My brother turns to me and says loudly "Oh my god, do you see that bus?!". I reply that I saw it actually happen. I do a noseplug, breathe a few times and I'm lucid. I'm a bit surprised that I'm in a dream as it feels so real; this RC was fascinating. I feel that this lucid would have been tougher to catch without it. I show my brother the RC and tell him this helps me become lucid. I feel this is a perfect time to test out how RCs react for me in dream. I look several times at the car clock. I see 6:15 and realize this is about the exact time in waking life. I look back and it says 6 something. I look once more and the clock isn't there. I peer around a portion of the dashboard that's justting out, and the clock dispalys an interesting S/Figure 8 pattern. I then move to thumb throuh the palm, and see my thumb in high clarity. I push the thumb and nail with a strong amount of pressure, and actually feel the pressure and sharpness at very close levels to what it would feel like in waking life with the same application. I'm completely amazed that I'm actually experiencing this level of pressure and sharp pain in the dream, and repeat the pressure, several times. I note that the sensation is about 90% as strong as in waking life. I feel this RC is no good for me. I continue to staring at hands. My hands are very realistic. I notice that both scars on my left hand are present in the dream. The only difference is that my ring is not there. I look back and one finger disappears, soon to reappear. I'm tired at this point of asking DCs about how to improve LD frequency, and quickly notice an ipod and headphones. I decide to rock out to some music and just have fun exploring! I turn on the music, and Sleep Now In the Fire by Rage Against the Machine comes on very loud in the lucid. I'm suddenly overcome by a super excitied, energized and happy state of mind. I feel superchared and can't believe how awesome it feels to be flying out the window, and into the air above a several lane highway with awesome music blasting. I decide to remind myself that it's a dream as I don't want to lose stability. I descend a bit to the back of a car, and notice a co-worker. I stare at the face, interested in how realistic the detail will be, then realize how awkward this would be in waking life! I tellt the DC it doesn't matter since it's actually a part of me. I turn to my left and want to explore to the side of the highway. I see a group of DCs in the road, but ignore them.The music continues to play as I fly down the path to my left. I continue down this path and eventually run into a group of DCs inside of a structure. There are small groups of DCs throughout the area who appear to be college aged. I think about asking them lucidity questions, but still feel unintereste din the responses lately. I see an brown fan above us in the upper floor room. I get the idea that the dream would probably become highly stable if I flew my dream body into the fan blads, and let them stimulate me tactile sense rapidly. I fly up, exposing my midsection, and the fan plades are highly pliable, almost like a soft rubbery material. I lower, and the dream begins to fade shortly after I wake up for the day

    4. Black Pipes

      by , 08-18-2016 at 12:24 AM (Oneirin's Dreamworld)
      I'm climbing up an ddown sets of vertical black pipes that are alligned in a row. Once climbing down the final set, my awareness raises, and I suddenly realize I'm dreaming. I fly away, and become interested in asking some DCs how to become lucid more often. One DC, a young girl, tells me that I'm not eating any dairy, and that it's beginning not to be good for me. She tells me to start having some for of dairy and putting some extra dark chocoalte in it, stating this would be good for me. I decide to move on from asking DCs about improving lucidity, and want to ask a higher dream form as I get a memory of sivason's dream journal entries in astral astral cities. I begin trying to imagine some different entities appearing, but nothing solidifies. I soon enter a void.

    5. Time and Dedication

      by , 08-18-2016 at 12:10 AM (Oneirin's Dreamworld)
      I'm with a co-worker in a side-room, filling up an ink cartridge. I go through the doors, and enter into the a courtyard area that extends down in great length. I begin walking through the courtyard area, and my awareness raises. I suddenly realize I'm in a dream. I look down at the ink cartridge, and realizing that this dream plot no longer even matters, I chuck it to the side. i take in my surroundings of gray stone pavement sprawled across the open area. The Walls surrounding the courtyard a made of of very light burnt red brick material. I stare toward the far end, and notice a small set of doors in the middle. I single tree stands in the middle of the courtyard. To the right, there is a large square opening in the wall - a type of underpass leading to another area. I begin grounding myself into the dream, and focus intensely. I start shouting "clarity in the dream". The dream becomes super vivid and life-like, and I'm blown away. I'm super excited at waht I'm experiencing, and just want to explore a bit at this point. The dream feels very stable, and I don't want to risk it, so I fly low to the ground toward the underpass into the next area. I enter the room, and see two levels with the upper area consisting of a winding walkway with a black rail. Behind this walkway stis another room far behind. I begin to shout to the dream "subconscious make me lucid more often" a couple times. i see a DC on the walkway. He's a bit heavyset and blonde with a male-pattern bald spot. I tell him this is the astral, and I ask him how I can go to the astral more often (implying LD). He turns to me in a 'I wish I knew type of manner' and replied "I'm learnign from you. I'm impacted by his voice intonation and it's implied meaning, and feel a sense of awe and wonder from his response. I then ask if he can give a bit more information. He says "All I know is that it takes time and dedication. I decide to continue onward, and am still impressed by the stability as well as length. I feel I'm at around 7-8 minutes. I fly through this area into the rooms beyond. The dream begins fading, but I don't want it to end just yet. I begin rubbing my dream body all over. I decide to start whistling. The song Norwegian Wood comes into my head and I'm carrying the tune through a white void. I begin jogging my memory for dream goals, and remember I wanted to go to The Reishi Forest I lose lucidity, and enter into a normal dream.

    6. SSILD is Before Anything Else

      by , 08-15-2016 at 03:16 PM
      Had two LDs this morning. All from the SSILD variation which I shall explain below plus a realization.

      The lucid dreams were standard; I was in my neighborhood. The first lucid dream had me exiting a vehicle in my driveway and trying to go down my block. The second was me actually walking down my block during the evening time and into a house.

      I spoke to a woman behind a glass window like I was in a office or something. I remember now, I was searching for a woman named 'Jazmyne Adams' and the office was a car directory or something. I wanted the secretary to do a reverse search on the name and find out information such as the where she lived, what car she drove, etc. She gave me something to sign and that was all that I remember.

      I am always on the hunt for dream characters.

      There was also another standard dream of me at school, at the end of the year. It is kind of ironic because right now it is the end of summer vacation - more or less - here in my part of Texas. School starts a week from today; on the day of my birthday. Anyway, I was in the principal's office collecting a trophy from an award ceremony that I missed.

    7. First time using dream control

      by , 08-15-2016 at 09:12 AM
      Recently ive had many lucid dreams far more than usual and now im beginning to control them.
      Dream1- It began with a WILD, i wasnt trying to go lucid but by laying there and viewing the images created from the darkness as my eyes are closed i began to understand that I was in my room that was not my actual room in reality. Posters were different and i could tell this was a layout for a house. I currently live in an apartment. My dream signal ive been using is by pushing my hands into one another so i see my fingers go through my left hand. As i did this i became very lucid and everything felt very real. I ran out of my room and was correct on the layout of a house. I went to the door and ran out to find it sunny and incredibly green. I was in a town I had never been before. Then i thought of car to drive and turned around to find one similar to what i had pictured. I opened the door and got into the seat and the vehicle no longer took the form i had seen moments earlier. It was like i entered a bus instead of the 67 mustang i pictured. I remember hitting the accelerator and driving around like a mad man. Hitting cars and benches and getting terrible looks from people all around me. I basically did everything I wanted to do a normal citizen couldnt. At one point i saw many stormy clouds approaching the town putting a gloom over everything. I looked up and said "No I want it to be sunny today." Then waved my hand as if to erase the clouds and they disappeared like magic. Then i got the idea to fly and began trying to desperately fly with no avail. I couldnt even jump higher than i normally could in real life. Then i woke up to find that i had only fallen asleep for 16 minutes when it felt like an hour in my dream.
      Dream 2: A different night I had another lucid dream though not as prevelant and a bit hazy. It began it a big city a sort of metropolis one would find in the future. White tall gleaming buildings, clean roads with trees along the streets. I remember seeing one of my friends there and almost forgot i was even dreaming because she seemed like the actual person. I remember having a conversation though i cant recall it. I do remember being lead to a hotel of sorts for college kids my age. As I saw this structure it made me re-realize I must be dreaming and pushed my fingers through my left hand. They went all the way through and my friend looked at me with confusion and asked how i did something like that. I then tried to impress her by showing her i could fly. It didnt happen at first, i just kind of stood there with no lift or anything appearing to be concentrating. Then i remember my feet leaving the ground and i was suddenly floating. I remember smiling and laughing as my friend looked at me with huge eyes,(I definietely embellished my ego a bit). Then she said something like then can you give me a lift somewhere? I thought what if im not strong enough to lift her? I then quickly dismissed this thought as if to kind of suggest to myself that this was a dream and if i could fly then i wouldnt matter how much weight i would have holding me down. First i grabbed her hand and tried to raise myself and her off the ground. Nothing. I then released her hand and stepped back and practiced raising myself and lowering myself off the ground. While floating i let her hold on to my stomach and i was able to raise us both. It was more like hovering than it was flying, It was clumsy but once we were off the ground it was as if she didnt weigh a single thing and i began to realize that any amount of strength could be mustered up by a thought. I remember dropping her off at another hotel. I climbed to the top of the hotel which was very tall. I jumped and tried to at least hover down or really soar but i just fell faster and faster. I knew the jump wouldnt hurt me so I landed on my feet with no pain.
      I'm new to this lucid dreaming thing, ive studied how to lucid dream for many years now and have come back and forth. Only recently have I had incredibly surreal lucid dreams that I can not only remember but control. So if you have any tips regarding better control or even interacting with dream characters i would be very interested to hear someone else's opinion on the matter. Thanks for reading!
    8. Competition | Night 10 | "so meta~" - BloodSand

      by , 08-14-2016 at 09:31 PM

      Dream 6


      I'm in a long building or on a long island, possibly both. I'm looking at a wall map of it. Someone is invading the island. I briefly go lucid, observe the dream, then it ends. (10.5 points)

      Dream 7


      I'm in a classroom talking about dreams, and recall two past dreams, the first of which is Dream 6. I talk about how, in dreams, I often see combinations of IRL people who could never possibly meet. Ironically, later two people who could never meet appear in the room and I don't notice.

      Later, in the same room, a teacher is talking about two dreams (one of them is about Harry Potter) and I comment on how similar they are to the ones I had been describing, then realize they aren't actually that similar and try to make a connection. The teacher is a character from Life is Strange.

      Somehow I end up in Spain - I don't know for sure where I was originally in the dream, but after I walk out of the classroom I'm near the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. It is falling down sideways. I start moving north into France. I arrive on a narrow road with a deep pit/cliff/fall to the left and a rock wall with tunnels in it to the right. It is a hotel. I crawl into one of the tunnels and talk to a woman about booking a room. Then I emerge from the tunnels on the other side, in a Half-Life-like military compound. There is a large yard, mostly filled with shipping containers, with a large building behind it. I am in the yard talking to a soldier. (1 point)

      TOTAL POINTS: 11.5

    9. Begin again

      by , 08-14-2016 at 09:02 PM (Robo's Dreams)
      In an experimental lab, trying to break out 2 girls. I am lucid and attempt to destroy the lab because I am angry but I don't seem to have any amount of dream control. I hurry to get to the girl further back in the facility because I feel like I'm about to wake up. I climb a bunch of boxes to get to where she is as my lucidity fades. I take a backpack from behind me, but I can't find the shirt I want, I decide its not important. I carry her out of the facility that is trashed from when I was lucid. after we get outside we are pursued by thugs on motorcycles wearing bandana masks that have sharp teeth printed on the fabric. they shot rockets at us as we fled to an underpass. I managed to get on to one of the motorcycles to prolong the chase. I exit the tunnel and have enough of a repose to look in the distance. there is a theme park on a mountain, half of it appears to be a sailing ship.

      This prompted a flashback of me and the girl in this amusement park. there are many people. she gets ahead of me and I lose track of her in the crowd. I make my way to the restaurant we were going to before she got lost.

      flash back to the motorcycle chase, the pursuers had caught up with me again. I stopped time to dodge a rocket that would have hit me, but we were cornered. there was a windowed wall. I threw her through and chased after her, our pursuers shortly behind. we were in the restaurant from earlier. we ran to the kitchen and into an underwater pipeline. it sucked us down and into an out of view area. were were both destroyed.

      Text appeared in my vision it was unreadable, but I heard a voice say/translate it to, "Begin again" just before I woke up.

    10. Log 472 - Mystic Skirmish and Other Assorted Stories

      by , 08-14-2016 at 08:38 PM (Dream Logs DWN-12)
      Created Sunday 14 August 2016

      Spellbee's Summer Lucid Competition 2016 - Entry 16


      There's about four dreams I remembered today, one DILD very early on, and three NLD later in my sleep. Most of said NLDs are scraps at this point.

      Dream 1 - Mystic Skirmish


      Only remember the end. The visuals were a bit blurred. I was wandering in a fog-laden deciduous forest. Some forgotten event sparked lucidity minutes beforehand.

      At one point, I start powering up DBZ-style, surrounding myself in a golden aura. Such energy allowed me to fly through the area with ease. Soon, I encounter a floating figure glowing with a similar halo, only blue. A member of Team Mystic, no doubt. This was a lady with dark, straight hair, and dressed in a ruffled, white and blue-lined ball gown. Furthermore, her eyes were obscured, whether by bangs or some other means. At the time, I remembered exactly who she was, but such knowledge has faded from memory...

      We exchange some threatening remarks (more like ribbing, actually), and then engage in battle mid-air. Amusingly, all of our attacks mirrored each other, repelling us both away on each blow. On the third strike, we clash with a (literal) flying knee. We get locked in a sort of pushing match. Eventually, we extend into a full kick, the force of which blasts us hundreds, if not thousands, of yards away in opposite directions, well past eyeshot.

      So, afterwards, I fall face-first on bare dirt. As I dust myself off, I start thinking of all the points I've racked up in this dream. Seems I had the funny idea that I've got some TOTMs done, but whether that was forgotten or just a false memory is difficult to say at the moment.

      I awaken immediately afterwards. I'd doubts of my experience, but a quick (unwitting) DIELD allowed me to relive, and thus, reconfirm, pretty much all of what occurred.

      Unintended WBTB turns into several hours without sleep. WILD attempts unsuccessful.

      Scrap Group 1
      In a park with my brother, Gregory, my niece, Annette, and my nephew, Milo. I tell Milo a (false-memory) story of my getting swept backwards up a slide, this somehow caused by a storm. Gregory is certain I'd actually gone downwards.

      False awakening in an unknown bedroom within an apartment. Mom and Gregory are around. I feel terribly ill, and rush to the unlit bathroom. Nausea ensues. Mom barges in, and complains of the mess I was making, though she did admit Gregory had it way worse when he was afflicted with this illness. I yelled at her to leave. When I turn on the light, I find the area's much bigger, and there were also numerous other toilets around. A sizeable group of people enter. I'm completely exposed to them all. So embarrassing. A boy points and laughs, and his mother tells him to hush up. I wonder why there weren't at least some partitions around. This may have linked to the next dream.

      Dream 2 - Mutant Lizard Meat


      The visuals were a bit blurred. I was scrounging around in the ruins of a downtown area. Clearly, a post-apocalyptic scene. Two other companions were with me, one an unknown dark haired woman, and the other a familiar acquaintance, if not one of my brothers.

      All of us were hungry. In fact, we were literally reduced to eating crow, which we lured with rotted meat and killed with pointed sticks. I roast and eat one of such birds, which tasted like stale, unseasoned chicken. A while later, I get a bad stomach ache, though it passes. The woman, after doing the same, wasn't as fortunate. She complains of terrible pains behind her eyes and in her tongue. I asked if she'd cooked it properly. That's when she reveals it wasn't the crow causing this. Instead, it was meat from some (mentioned, but not seen) bipedal lizard-monster we'd killed at an earlier date that infected her. Figured this was merely curiosity on her part; our group wasn't THAT desperate. The woman's eyes start bulging up to inhuman degrees, and she claimed her tongue was growing far out of proportion. She must have been mutating.

      Suddenly, a distant thundering shakes the ground. A glance at remote skyscrapers revealed the silhouette of a massive reptilian creature. Right, as if things needed to get more interesting...

      Not much else happened until the dream ended.

      Tired enough to go for an afternoon nap, but still couldn't sleep despite my exhaustion. Rats.

      Lock Down

      i know who ever one is in my dreams but i dont see faces.-safety-deposit-box.jpg
      I was at Summer School, I remember interupting Mrs.W's meeting to talk to her about something. The room had lots of safety deposit boxes.
      Later in the Dream I was in the Geometry room with some other students,
      I guess I had to take Geometry at summer school.
      The teacher had to go run an errand, but then a Lockdown started. For some reason me and the class rest our heads on the desks. But when we found out the Lockdown was real the classroom became a waterpark like place and people started to hide in the pools and slides. I was going to hide in the water but I cannot swim, I would've went in the water if it was shallow but it was deep. So I hid behind a refrigerator, the room had a tense atmosphere and the lighting was a dark orange. The water reflected onto the ground, I get down behind the fridge.
      An old woman comes into the room with 2 or more people with guns, the dream scene became like a movie, had the black bars top and bottom of the screen and in 3rd person.
      The woman came behind me and, shot me in the head.
      But I came back to life, aware this was a dream and fought back against the antagonists. The dream shortly ended there and I got a false awakening.

      I didn't know if I wanted to upload this one or not for some reason. I didn't have a dream today so I decided to upload yesterdays. See you tomorrow if I can remember in DJ Entry 7.
    12. Nature Lodge Trio

      by , 08-14-2016 at 12:44 AM (Oneirin's Dreamworld)
      1. I turn away from the lecture being given about lucid dreaming and head toward the wall by the exit. I begin to realize something is strange as my awareness raises. My hands come out in front, I say "I'm lucid" and I'm anchored in. The room comes to life, and I begin to make my way toward the next room. I ignore the mother and daughter DCs and make my way into what appears to be a lobby area. It appears that I'm in some type of lodge type area that feels like it would be in a nature reserve type setting. There's a lot of forest/woods decor around. I start thinking about some dream goals, and remember I wanted to teleport to a dream sanctuary. I don't TP at this point, but just want to explore a bit more. I fly around a bit and explore the rooms, and notice that certain areas slightly resemble a restaurant. The dream fades a bit, but I re-stabilize by looking at my hand quickly. I gradually transition back to my body

      *and decide to go for a DEILD by focusing head vibrations

      2. After a short period of non-lucidity, I realize I'm dreaming within the Nature Lodge area once again. I continue exploring toward the main lobby area and job my memory again. I remember my dream goal of the sanctuary as well as a spin on a concept of going to a mystical dream forest and hunt reishi mushrooms. I head outide and fly around, getting excited about how vivid the setting is. I'm enjoying the free flight, and soaking in the intense vividness of the groups of trees within the wilderness area. I think back once again to the sanctuary, and wonder if I can intend a portal to be in the center of a group of trees. I fly upward, then down into the center of the first group of trees, but nothin is there. I continue this search for a bit by looking in the center of another tight gathering of trees. I then decide I might as well see if I can find some wild red reishi while I'm at it. I don't notice anything, and after a bit the dream becomes a bit unstable. I quickly rub hands, but it feels like I'm starting to return to my body.

      *I find myself in bed so I go for a DEILD through head vibrations

      3. I find myself back in the lodge, and after a minute or so my awareness raises, my right hand comes into vision, I say "I'm lucid" and I'm good to go! I fly into the main lobby and take a thorough look around. I take a close look at the worker behind the main desk, then at the tree structure standing in the center of the lobby. The room is pretty vivid at this point. I jog my memory for all my dream goals and think about what I want to do. I continue observing the walls, and notice some interesting items decorating the walls. I decide that before I head outside, I might as well have some fun with the cool items. I fly up the two-story wall and grab a shaft which is a spear on one end with a rowing paddle on the other. I fly up and to the left a bit more and grab a scimitar/machete weapon. I fly to the ground and hurl the spear into the tree in the center of the room. I then fly to the center of the room holding the scimitar. I wave the scimitar around, and really appreciate the length of the lucid. I wonder if I should wake myself up as I'm not sure if I'll be able to remember all the previous lucids. I want to keep going, so I fly toward the front door;I quickly distract myself from thinking about the dream ending. I take some time to appreciate how much longer this lucid is in and feeling that all the effort I've put in is paying off. I want to enjoy it as much as possible, and decide not to over worry about memory. I just want to appreciate the moment. I continue with the scimitar, then reason that if I go through the front door with this, will my subconscious interpret it as danger being on the outisde of the building? I wonder if a flood of orcs or something is going to come rushing at me. Time to find out! I head outside and take in all the vivid grass and scattered trees down the small slope. No enemies are around. I fly around a bit and continue to appreciate all the amazing vividness of the foliage. The area slightly resembles the front of M Street. I see a female wearing blue to the left down the clearing, but quickly decide to ignore her as I don't want to lose focus from the lucid. I think about looking for some portals that would take me to the sanctuary and search into a couple small clumps of trees. I then search for a couple wild reishis, but don't find anything once again. I try to think of some more interesting things to do and remember thinking about trying to cast a fireball after reading sivason's awesome fireball from his summer lucid comp. I try the 'energy flow simulation' technique, focusing on a current of energy moving down my arm, but the sensation isn't very strong. I bring my arm back, then cast it forward toward a tree in the distance. Nothing. I realize I need to practice this tech more. I continue flying around the trees as I don't want to tp at the moment. I then think that I really want to fly upside down and see what happens to my visual field! I flip myself upside down and fly forward toward a distant group of trees and the entire scene flips around. I'm amazed by how well my mind created the flip. I do it once again. I land, but the dream gets a bit blurry. I keep telling myslef that I'm lucid, and that I'm just experiencing a dream. I start return to my physical body. I feel that I can go for another DEILD, but quickly become more and more physically and mentally awake - to the point where I feel like my REM cycle is exhausted and I'm totally recharged for the night.

    13. FireFlyMan and DreamCafe11

      by , 08-13-2016 at 11:22 PM (The Dream Adventures of MadMonkey)
      I read AndresLDs entry during my WBTB and was super happy he ended his dryspell and was able to fight me in a Pokemon battle!!! This gave me encouragement so I did some quick SSILD and tried WILD.

      FireFlyMan (SSILD WILD)

      It doesn't take long and I am feeling mild vibrations and getting flashes of potential dream scenes. I think what the heck, I'm probably fully dreaming now, I might as well just get out of bed. I am in my hometown for the weekend so of course that is where I am in the dream. I do so and do a nose plug and confirm I am dreaming. It doesn't feel as vivid as I would like but I don't think it will be a problem because my visuals are pretty good. I stick my hands back and realize I don't have space to summon anyone in my room so I go into the family room.

      I see a man there with dark hair and eyes. I guess FireFlyMan is already here! "Hi FireFlyMan. You said you have a beard. Let's fix that.", I say. I stick my hand out and imagine his beard growing. "I don't wan't a beard." He says but I manage to grow an inch long beard anyways. "It is suppose to be a bit longer.", I say but he says,"This length is fine." so i leave him be. "Take my hand so it is easier for me to imagine DreamCafe11's hand." I say and he grabs my left hand. I wake up and feel like it's a good opportunity for DEILD but for some reason it takes a very long time to get any visuals and I lay there half awake, half asleep for about a half hour.



      I journaled the dream and realized I had about half an hour before I had to get up. I thought I might be able to squeeze in one more WILD. I set my alarm forward an extra 10 minutes just so I could wake up more naturally.

      010:35 AM
      DreamCafe11 (WILD)

      I am laying in bed and I hear a knock on the door. My mom says it is 10:30 and I have to get up. I am semi lucid and get out of bed and walk into the family room. Some random family members are there and realize I am starting a dream. I walk back into my room thinking I want to have a false awakening. I realize this is sily and my girlfriend comes into the room. I realize I miss her even though it's only been a few days and this was probably incubated my reading AndresLD's dream about seeing his girlfriend. I hug and kiss her a lot and tell her it is a dream. I let her know I have some goals to do this time but next time I see her she can join me on my adventure.

      We go into the family room and I stick my hand back to summon DreamCafe11. I feel a smallish hand take mine and I say,"Hello DreamCafe or should I call you Song." I get no response so I look over. She is a girl with brown hair, about 5'2". She isn't in her Song form this time I guess. "Are you DreamCafe?", I ask. She shakes her head yes and smiles. I hug her and introduce her and my girlfriend. While I know I don't have much time, I feel like I don't have to worry about waking up. "Do you know where the bomb is?" I ask. She says that she doesn't. I was sort of relying on her knowing where it was. That's okay we can figure it out.

      We go out front of my house and see two DCs walking by. "Do you know about the bomb threat?", we ask. They say they don't. This is a suburb so there's not much likely hood of a terrorist attack here. We should go to the mall. I see an expensive looking silver sports car in my drive way. "I know exactly where to go! Hop in!", I say. "Is this your car?", DreamCafe11 asks. "I guess it is now." I back out fast and shift into drive. I get up to 55mph in no time and already have to make a turn. I skid into the sidewalk and nearly take out someones fence and mailbox. Haha, oops. It is a very accurate representation of my neighborhood. I am on a strait away so I floor it and we go really fast. I wake up though and really wan't to get more out of the dream. I can still feel my left hand and that is it. I will my other hand onto the wheel and push my imaginary foot into the pedal. My visuals come back and the dream is vivid again! I hope that DreamCafe11 didn't notice! haha

      I drive another two blocks to the strip mall by my house. We park next to the big fountain area at the center. As we walk up I realize we are both still in our normal forms. I tell her to transform into Song and she says she hasn't figured out how yet. I say,"It's easy, you just have to watch Sailor Moon!" I stick my hand up in the air and shout,"Tatsumonki, transform!" I spin in place with my arms out and imagine the sleeves of a cloak appearing. I have a black coat now with long coattails. I still have my dark grey shorts on and some black shoes. I feel that my hair is longer and curlier now and ask DreamCafe if it is green. She says it is so I must have transformed!



      Note, I was still 5'10" as Tatsumonki. I would have been the same height as DreamCafe if that changed so I need to update the drawing.

      We walk up to a crowd of DCs by the fountain and I say,"This is the Dream Hero League! Have any of you seen a bomb or suspicious activity?" The DCs just shrug. DreamCafe and I ask around but know one knows what we are talking about. "You there! What are you hiding under your shirt!" I use telekinesis to lift up his shirt and he is just fat. I search a mans backpack too but there's nothing but books. "What are we going to do DreamCafe?" I ask. She says, "Well, I think as long as the dream characters are safe it is better if we can't find anything." I think she is probably right but I fly around to keep searching.

      I see a man with a very large padded black bag and ask him what is in it. He looks worried and runs away. That is incriminating enough for me so I use telekinesis to bring him back to where DreamCafe is. I accidentally bump his head and he seems unconscious. Oops. I place him and the bag down and see someone making out with an attractive guy. This is awkward. They look up and it's my girlfriend! "Hey!" I get angry for a second but then remember this is a dream and then I'm totally fine with it. After all, I make out with DCs all the time. It's only fair!

      DreamCafe11 walks up and I say I found the bomb. "Use your wind powers to make a vacuum around the bag." She starts spinning the air around the bag but then stops. "I still don't fully understand how to do that." She says. I feel that I am starting to wake up and I am satisfied with the dream. Sure, we didn't defuse the bomb or even confirm there was one but we got to meet each other and had a good time
      Besides, I woke up right on time without needing the alarm!

      New Dream goal: Go to the Moon
      Old Dream goal: Go back to Venice



      D1: Had a non-lucid but I couldn't remember it so I didn't count it.

      D2: Lucid- Mike & I were fishing at the lake near where I grew up. I spent a lot of time there with my family growing up & new it was a dream but I hung out & fished for a while. As I became aware & lucid I saw the lane that was my grandpa's long driveway. I had set the alarm for my wbtb so I woke up briefly to turn it off & chained into the next dream easily.

      D3: Lucid- I was still with Mike at the lake fishing but the lane was gone because I knew it didn't
      belong there I guess. The scenery was really pretty. (Reality check.) All majestic looking with the dam
      stoicly errect making it look like some sort of postcard picture. I started looking
      for people to interact with. We came across what looked like a concession stand & we
      got water. We then sat up on these bar stools while we drank our water, where we met a
      man & his wife who worked there. They were talking politics. It was a pretty funny conversation.
      They told me that there was a new law that all women had to be on birth control for
      population control. I was looking at Mike & laughing. I then proceeded to explain the
      insanity of this idea because I had a hysterectomy & don't have a uterus to even carry
      a baby. These people weren't getting it, lol. I finally tried to compare it to being
      a man. I said it's like the likelyhood of a man having a baby. It's just impossible.
      They said that wouldn't be a good enough excuse & I laughed & asked them what they
      suggested I do.


      Then Mike's alarm went off & we had to rush out the door. Today was back to school road
      trip day... I'm actually surprised by this. I usually don't sleep well the night before any kind of trip but I was so exhausted. I almost didn't care enough to even try for pts, but I set my alarm anyway. I guess it was a good thing I did.

      Lucid-Red

      Had read patiences dream journal last thing and tried copying her mantra before bed.

      Had some dreams, usual repeating stuff and woke up at 3.23am was real pissed of that I couldn't recall much, went through a mini crisis
      and prayed for some improvement, finally got off to sleep at about 5am
      WBTB trying to relax as patience had specified.

      It worked! I got 2 lucids.

      D1 - In an open plan office with lots of long desks with computers on them and swivel chairs. I came back from lunch to find I had no desk of my own. I walked around feeling sad then sat down next to someone.
      I used my powers to create my own virtual screen that was connected to their computer and started typing away. They looked around looking quite perplexed.
      Another worker joked with me and laughed at what I was doing.

      D2 - Back in the office with the guy joking. He showed me some paintings his son had done. Next I was at his house and it was nigh time. Downstairs, I am with the kids in the hallway. They want to play and I am lucid, the three kids have there coats on, hoods up. I ask one "Where are we going?". He says something I cannot understand as he is only little. I ask his big sister and she replies "Garden" (Interact with a Dream Character). I head out the back door but it is very dark and cold. The children follow and immediately one starts howling as either it is to cold or to dark to play out and they are upset .I fly (flying) up into the night sky and wonder if I can change it to day so we can play out. The sky changes from all dark to the top half day and the bottom half still night (Unspecified Dream Control).
      I look around and see a supermarket in the distance with its lights on, no fun there I decide and turn around in the sky. I see a music venue open and fly to it. When I get inside there are 3 glamorous young ladies dressed in tight fitting trousers and tops.
      I turn to see they have 3 partners in the same outfits with stars on. They look like they are in a dance competition or something.

      Infact they are in the section where there is a pool table and a section above where people are looking down. I make the pool cue fly into my hand then I make the cloth that is attached to it fly around like a whip gathering up all the balls making staccato clacking noises (Use an Ordinary Object to Perform Dream Control). I then use telekinesis to make all the balls line up in a long line down the middle of the pool table (Mass Telekinesis).
      After all that showing off, i am about to begin the match...when I wake up.
      (First DILD of the Night)

      D3 - Some boys have been causing trouble at some shops and my little kid brother (kid from dream two who howled (Chain a Lucid Dream)) is banging sharp pens into them stapling them to a building as punishment. A security guard comes along. i realise I am dreaming and grab my little bro and fly up with him to the top of the building. The guard is still waving up at us crossly. I decide to fly across to the shopping precinct across the main street below. I dive off the building but instead of flying I go into freefall and panic. The little boys extra weight makes me think I can't fly with him. I almost hit the pavement hearing the guard looming closer and closer but pull out of the dive and zoom up into the air. I land down the other side of the street. We are still being chased and I zoom into the upper gallery of the shop. It is all metal and glass. For some reason it is night again now and we have become small. I fly from room to room hiding from the guard who follows us into the building. We escape outside.

      D4 - I am back in the office from D1 and am looking at the outfit a woman is wearing it is incredibly vibrant. She is wearing all dark brown and I can see minute scales making up the surface of her blouse. She also has a little cap and mini skirt of the same material.
      She has blonde wavy hair, we start chatting and giggling. We are working together opening some large envelopes with lattice style labels on them. She goes over to the door and when the boss is not looking makes funny faces at me. We are clearly getting on well and arrange to go for a drink later.

      D5 - Outside the shopping precinct on a sunny day. I find the woman from D4 but she is a kid. And from the looks of things she is not human but more like a rag doll with a green polka dot dress. We are looking around and I see suspended above the pavement a large card. It is white with writing in brown ink and decorated with pink icing. It is a birthday invitation. I read it and then think maybe it has some other significance and that the dream is giving me a message so I try and read it again. It now says something completely different but nothing that seems important. I take the girl/doll under my arm and we fly to her cottage in the brilliant sunshine. I am still worried about the guard from before and fly low over the flowery grass to her place. I see other kids making their way there too.

      D6 - I am working in an office looking at student application forms. There is a strange form for photos which has spaces for about 30 photos. There is confusion about where your photo should go. Someone says it depends on what country you are from. I say it is to do with the council number of the place you live in. Lol very exciting NOT.
