lucid

D1:
I only remember fragments of this dream. I went outside with some friends.

D2:
I dreamt that I was with my brother and my cousin and we were on one of the 'Fire Emblem'-Stages from SSB4. I still have this image in my head of seeing me in third-person-view when I noticed that I WAS DREAMING (1st LD)!!!! BUT then I wanted to rub my hands to know how it feels and the moment my hands touched I was kicked out and woke up. I WAS SO UPSET! IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN AMAZING DREAM!

I start off at some kind of warehouse and there are some people there one of them, I think is the predator with his mouth open and flared out and the others were unknown. I have lost some details upon wakening but I recall us doing adventures together and they were my partners. The place was huge and had a vaulted ceiling and windows near the top. Looks to be night time out.

Dino Megazord is there! and he is very detailed mostly on his face, showing that he was the correct multi colored version with the white out lining around his eyes, his metal plated mouth and his horn-like red ears. Not the usual black and gold color. Anyways He ends up seeing me and I'm somehow on the ride. He is watching me from below and when I get off he comes chasing after me and I see how angular his body was which was good. He was fast and I managed to run off into some kind of washroom and it came in there with me, looking at me with he yellow eyes. It was a legit megazord with all of the details with was rare to see in a dream, anyways he charged at me and I ran back out of the room. There is a long time of me running from him and he no matter where I was, would always be keeping track of me. At some point in time I would check to see if he is actually still a zord and he would be. I'm now ahead of him and start to run off in a different direction but didn't because I was enjoying the good chase I was getting and decided not to turn off. I become Lucid and very aware and look back at Daizyujin (Megazord). He looked back at me, also becoming aware of me and not a blind DC. I seen the light on the ceiling and the park/ ride behind me and then ended up tackled by him and held in his arms. He looked at me and was aware of my feelings and held me for a bit, smiling. As he did that the dream cam shows him holding me but looking slightly human and then it went back to him holding me. He then let's go, pretended to walk away and no sooner I began to think Yeah SC messing up again. He turns around suddenly and gets me again. Something happened and some bad guys or something has broken into the house.

Megazord goes after them and while they were dealing with him, the predator, one of my partners came around to me. Despite what he was I knew that he was friendly and means not to harm me. He walks over to me and gives me a smile as well but sheesh he was ugly. His mouth was open and webbed out with those little spikes at the end and it was pink inside and I kind of grimaced at his face. He saw it and was greatly disapproved that and frowns at me, looking now angry. I ran away from him but there were baddies behind me and didn't know, the predator saw them too and tried to kill them but they took me away somewhere.


Now I'm outside of the warehouse at night and three shadow guys are attacking me, dragging me on some wet grass to somewhere and this is where I lost more details upon wakening. Some long time had gone by and I was somewhere. The predator managed to track us down and he scared off the bad people who were harming me. They dropped me on the wet ground and then they took off running. The predator chased after them away but then he came back to me. He held my head in his arms and was making harmless sounds and I think he kissed me or at least wanted to do so because his head was close to mine and his mouth was flared open from scaring the baddies away, however i think a part of it touched me on the head because I felt something rubbing my forehead and know it was him from the sounds he made wasn't the clicking sounds though. When megazord came back he saw me with the predator and he is a monster. Megazords kill monsters and I was afraid of him harming him but he saw that he was helping me and realized what had happened. While he was occupied with the guys another set was gonna try to take me off somewhere but the predator was there in which they were unaware of and they couldn't do what they planned and tried to fight him instead. Seeing that this monster was kind enough to protect me he didn't attack it and I was glad that he was aware of that. He ran over to us and before he got to us, woke up.

A great birthday dream and hope to recover more of it. ^_^

D₁-I was at my sisters TKD school watching people break cement plates (with their fingertips, heel kicks, etc.) whenever I decided it looked fun so I started screwing around and breaking some. There was this metal wall with parts of it had hollow cement plates so you could work on accuracy, thinking it'd be interesting to see if I could actually break the cement plates I started fingertip thrusting and bladder striking the plates out of their socket. The plates wouldn't break but would fly out and spin like crazy in the air. My sisters instructor asked me if I wanted to actually go to the class and I was feeling happy-go-lucky so I agreed. He started showing me how to stretch for a 180° round kick. He kept repeating, slow and steady, slow and steady.

Dream skip

D₂-I visited a church I went to as a child and started going to the youth group regularly (even though I'm in college). My friend's brother, Jacob, started to sit beside me whenever I came. One day (mind you this is all a dream) a girl started hanging all over him before our bible session started and he looked over at me with a *please help me she won't get off* kinda look. Feelin bad for the guy I walked over and said," Oh hey mind if I borrow him for a bit, his boyfriend texted me the other day and you know how catty he can get if he's given the silent treatment for too long." The girl scrunched her face up into the ugliest, snobbiest look a person could possibly make and got up out of his lap (she had previously straddled him). Jacob's face was bright pink the whole time.

I'm over at a childhood place at Crestveiw and I'm in a living room. It is daytime outside and I'm flying around. I'm in from of a Megazord box or something that I like on TV showing it to them. I then feel heavy and descend to the ground and land. Frustrated I punched the carpeted floor and then realized that in a dream this could be someone and quickly said sorry to the floor. lol. It was an olive green carpet and next to me was something black that looked like old gum. I stood up and tried to fly again but to no avail.

WILDed before sleep - lots of sinking sensations and sensations of moving around.

1) I was stood at the back of my house with a work colleague. I was pointing with a stick at some overhead power lines showing him where there was a fault, he asked about a church in the distance I knew he was looking for a house locally and was thinking about converting it. We went into the lounge and I introduced him to our neighbour who has converted an old building and now lived in it. Then I was walking back down a corridor past my guitar and turned the corner, I loked back and the guitar had started playing itself, I knew that something supernatural was happening. I woke in my bed and saw the guitar standing by the wall in my bedroom, I knew immediately that I was still dreaming. I wanted to look at my hand to check that but couldn't move, although I just caught sight of my hand and it wasn't right. I thought that if I couldn't move I would try to OBE so concentrated on trying to move upwards, that didn't work. I tried to sit up - that was hard work! but I managed it, then I tried to move my legs, that was really difficult, I moved them and swung around, my body felt very difficult to control and feather light. My legs sort of floated down on top of my wife and I was worried I might wake her up. I was stuck by my pelvis, so I sort of flopped my legs and head down over the side of the bed thinking that I might just drop down onto the floor. I could see the carpet. Nothing happened I was still stuck by my pelvis. At this point it was such hard work and I was feeling very strange so I returned properly to my body and woke myself up.

2) I was on the phone to a DV friend. She insisted on talking in her own language and I couldn't understand a word, I think she thought it was funny, eventually she started talking in English. We had something to discuss, and I said it was nice to hear her voice and we said goodbye.

3) I was with a work colleague from many years ago when I was 20. We got in the lift together at a hotel, someone else got in and we went to the ground floor. I went to a bog desk to pick up a jumper, I was going with a big group of people out on a trip and had to be with them by 9am. I asked for my jumper and was told to wait. I looked at my watch and it was already 9.45. I saw the queu of people behind me being served. the lady was giving out suitcases and polishing them up for the other customers. I gave up waiting, but had missed the trip. The I was in a sort of nightclub type room there was a dog there, I cuddled it and noticed that it had a serious head injury and a maggot was crawling out of the injury. I asked and was told that the vet had already seen it and given antibiotics. I wake through to another room in the hotle. There were people around the room selling services, I remembered that there was a list given out before listing all the things that would be there. I read the notice in front of a stall - I couldn't understand what it was all about and asked the man there as it looked like he was selling drugs, he insisted that he wasn't but I still couldn't understand exactly what he was selling.

I was searching for something whenever i saw a container of women's razors. In my dream I was suprised and thought about how I needed some, then I woke up.

Today I changed things up again. I found a new source of video's. Thx, Nimbulus. I used one to induce a nap today & my Lucid Dream lasted a really long time. I had headphones on & I wore a facemask that holds your eyelids shut. I'll start off w/ what I ate & then write my dream. I tried to eat a glass but that didn't work. I think it was because I have reoccurring dreams where I eat my teeth. ( I secretly hoped I would have become lucid in that nightmare & that would have easily have met the challenge). So I tried for what else was near me because I was afraid I Would wake up & not complete a task. I tried to each a pencil first & it was just the tip & tasted like lead, which I remembered from using all those yrs in school getting pencil lead on my hands. It was just too hard to eat the whole thing. Then, I ate cardboard. It tasted like dirt & was difficult to eat & the texture was gritty. I ate a piece of paper which didn't have much of a taste at all, it was just chewy & my saliva broke it down. I also ate a piece of wood. It seemed to take on an easier chewy sensation. The texture was splintery at first but softened in my mouth & had a earthy taste, more than a dirt taste. It seemed to almost take on a taste that wasn't bad but, nothing I'd want to try again unless I was starving....

Now back to my dream. I was in a tavern, in a town that was dusty & old & there were alot of ppl. None of which I knew. I realized I was lucid & tried to open my eyes & since I had a facemask on in real life, I just dissmissed this thought & I could suddenly see even more clearly. I immediately knew to look for objects to eat & got that out of the way. I also tried to ask ppl if they were LD's instead of DC's so I could try for another task but the DC thing eluded me so I decided I had done enough for one lucid dream where tasks were concerned & decided to try & enjoy my stay. I tried to explain to ppl that I had come into my dream conciously, hoping someone would start talking to me about the subject. Saying something like. "I'm one of your Spirit Guides", or something. I spent quite a great deal of time looking for ppl like that. But then I moved on. I was healing ppl. The conditions there were not good. I helped to heal ppl while I was there. Something compelled me to do this which was really strange. But I'd put my hands on them & pull out their illness & then cast out the feeling by difuzing the energy first. There was alot of talking & alot of levels to the building we were in.... I spent a great deal of time flying. It's like an addiction in a LD. I just do it. I don't walk very much at all now. Flying through halls is alot faster. Of course I also had to fly outside to feed the rush. This was the first time I flew up to where I was above the earth, through the clouds and amongst the stars... This was so very new to me & incredibly enlightening. Its was such a free feeling.....

I'm playing an old-school side-scroller type video game. You play as this ninja dressed in all black with a red belt and scarf. You can move, roll, crawl, jump, flip, etc, and the character, while everything is pixelated, does a good job of looking like he's animated fluidly. There is a magical talking punching bag that teaches you how to play. The talking punching bag explains how you can preform a fast attack with 'A' button and a slow attack with 'B' button.

I think this was the first video game dream to ever show a game controller or even reference the fact that it was a game, and that I was playing. I think it was a gamecube controller.

If you press 'A' several times, you fill up a combo meter, and the more this is filled up, the more powerful your 'B' attack will be. I also take note that the game handles range well, if your a little bit closer to the target you'll automatically use punches, while if your a bit farther away, you'll use kicks that have a bit more range.

...

I'm now on the third to last level. There are three temples (large pagoda styled buildings visibile from the world map.) The first one is green, the second red and white, and the third, gold. This one was a plant-themed boss. The next one was a fire and ice themed boss, and the final boss was in the gold temple. I also remember the game having some storyline about you rescuing your girlfriend/wife, but I think it was building up to a plot twist.

There were some platforming challenges, you had to jump on these mossy stone blocks to avoid falling into a pit of thorns. Then some green ninjas appeared and I fought them. I then became the character of the game and the pixelated reality became three dimensional. I started to become lucid and started to walk around in the third dimension. The path up to the temple was now a spiral. There were some more ninjas, but I think they disappeared before I could fight them.

I came up to the top of the spiral and the dream got really good in terms of clarity. I climbed up upon a mound of sand (dream sign), and looked around. The game world was still projected in three dimensions. I saw the other two temples, but the green one that I was at was now gone. The two remaining temples were atop rock towers that put them above the terrain. Below, the ground looked like a wasteland. Rocks, and a couple dry riverbeds with some mountains in the distance.

I turned my attention back to the area surrounding me. The cobblestone path that led up to the mound of sand. Around me were these large trees that grew straight up leading to a small, tidy canopy of pale green leaves. Below them were clusters of bamboo, vines and ivy, and weird bulbous thorny plants that had been hazardous back in the early part of the dream where things were two dimensional video game. I feel like there was a metal bench partially overgrown and swallowed by the ivy. I feel like there was this huge stone skull (15 feet across) with plants coming out of the eyes and mouth, and a huge broken stone teapot. (Bigger than the skull) buried somewhere in the woods.

I then turned to the sky. The sky graduated from bluish green on the horizon to a dark purple directly above. There was a ringed planet and at least two moons. I remember one of the moons looked farther away. It looked like Mimas with a single huge crater. The other had highly contrasted terrain. Light ground and dark craters. Closer examination caused my vision to zoom in and see active lava fields in the craters. The gas planet was pretty small compared to what I usually get where the thing takes up half the sky, and I didn't really focus on it, but even with its small angular size in the sky, I could see the cloud bands and rings.

I remember thinking to myself: "How can dreams do this? How is it that in waking life, I can hardly solve a simple math problem, but at night, I can dream up something as marvelous and complex as this?" After all, your brain is just a computer, with neurons in place of circuits. What kind of power do you need to synthesize a world like this?

Well I didn't come to any conclusion. I just wound up sinking into the mound of sand that had a tunnel under it. I remember when I was a kid, my parents told me never to dig a tunnel on the beach and crawl into it as it might cave in and I will suffocate. And sure enough, as soon as that happened, the cave fell in on my gut and I couldn't get out. I tried to reach my cell phone but couldn't. I remember thinking that I had this cool new holographic phone.

I woke up.

This was a lucid dream from a evening nap.

I was inside what was suppose to be a room inside my house. The room that Dawn use to appear in a lot. We've changed rooms so many times that I'm just gonna stick with "the room that Dawn use to appear in a lot". Anyways my older brother handed me a manga and told me that I should be proud that I kept it clean from random doodles on the page. I said "yeah"happily as I looked at the book but when he left I just got a impulse to draw a chibi than drew it on the side. I than joked about it with someone who was in the room. However, while I was there I got subtle hints I was in a dream. The biggest one was probably that my dog that died before appeared. I have a feeling he spoke too.

After I realized I was lucid I walked upstairs and Eye appeared. There was also this silent life like white doll character around. I observed her for a bit. She was acting like a little girl in subtle ways but her quiet, calm personality stood out. I tried not to focus on her though and spoke to Eye who was flying around. He seemed like he was paying attention to what I had to say more so I was content.

Something funny that I almost forgot to mention is that I ended up downstairs randomly somehow and had to walk back upstairs. Although I noticed I was naked and wet like I came out of the shower. I laughed and told Eye to shut the door and to close the windows. Which he did. XD After looking in the mirror , having clothes appear on me, than changing my focus to Eye who I began talking to again, I got the urge to see if Dawn would appear.

I got a little uncomfortable feeling from being in the same place as the quiet doll character so I used it to make the scene than opened the door randomly and started running out screaming that the doll was gonna get me. I felt the world get a water color paint like feel now but ignored it. I didn't see Eye coming after me but felt the doll like character trying to get a hold of me. But as I flew in front of the house her presence disappeared. I waited a few seconds than started flying away. "If they chase me or find me so be it but if not than I'll just go along with whatever happens" I thought. But than I felt the sky getting darker and quickly a huge gust of wind appeared.

It blew me and I could feel someone grabbing at me again. I started calling for help again but stopped and tried taking the fight as a challenge. I tried blowing the doll like character away from me but after the wrestling I appeared on a bed with a light yellow blanket on it. It was in the room that Dawn use to appear in a lot. I felt something behind me and no matter how I fought back the character who was wrestling with me put me down. It started to tie thin belts that kept me on the bed too.

"This is my dream! I'm the strongest and snapping this belt will be like snapping a twig!"I thought. But when I tried to push forward I was pushed back and it secured me onto the bed more."aggh...Fine"I thought. After thinking about the situation I remembered that when Eye was a handle in the beginning I used love, good thoughts and friendship to win against his hot tempered behavior. "Change it with love, just like Eye" I thought than pushed the secure belts toward my face and kissed it. The belts began to disappear and suddenly I could sit up.

I got up and as soon as I started walking the doll like character, who was close to my height now, followed right behind me. So close it was like she wanted to fuse with me or something of the sorts. I had this happen with another character in a recent somewhat freaky lucid dream. I looked behind me at the character who was turned away from my face and kissed her. No, I don't like girls and will always prefer boys but the only reason I kissed the doll like character was to make it known that I was going to be kind to the character that wanted to be apart of me in a way.

I than asked if it was Eye and it said no so I walked a little bit more and observed as it followed me so closely than kissed it on the cheek. Now It was a cute doll to me. Almost has the same personality as Dawn when he is quiet but hm. I'll try finding him next time. ^w^

Had several other dreams early on but cannot now recall, I tried to use a technique to remember them but gone.

D1 - Had one dream where I thought I was dreaming and had just been in a meeting room but something was wrong. i dreamt that I went back into the dream to change something. But it was a dream

Tried to WILD but just found myself in dream, don't remember any vibrations or anything.
D2 - Went up to hobbits round front door and I kind of got stuck there for a while, I was totally phased by how the door opened. Did it open like a notmal door or did it open in the middle like two half circles or best of all I decided open into the hillside by rolling, like a slidy door. with the door rolling round and round, and back, cool!
On entering the house I was immediatley drawn to the kitchen to the left of the main hallway. I went to peek in the kitchen door and that was as far as I got. The kitchen looked nice, wooden shelves with stuff on them, and shafts of sunlight. But completely incongruous to all I had expected there was a motorcycle lite by the shaft of light Oo wt...worse still was to befall my eyes on the old fashioned silver and black motorbyke was a dog, a sheep dog :/ what has the world come too
There was much activity in the kitchen, I know not what of but I left, in disgust and woke myself up outta there.
I woke up and tried again.
This time I was out in a field of thick high corn near a path, and there was Sam Gamgee or so I imagined. (In what I remember of the hobbit he had been collecting vegetables and took them back round to the house so I tried following him). I could only see the back of Sam, if that's who he was.
He sure enough went back to the Frodo's house (?) but instead of being able to enter via the big back window, I was confronted by big white framed double glazing, and no sign of a way of entry.
So I went back round to the front of the house to try yet again,
standing in tall in old green robes with a hood, was Gandalf....nope it was another ... dog!
this time it was a big grey (gandalf the ...grey evidently) long haird dog, standing on it's hindquarters, with it's face showing
at this point I felt quite insulted at how my subconscious was seriously taking the piss out of me, and gave up.
Dog Gawn it! for sure.

Note to self, next time remember I want an authentic hobbit house not some weird fabrication.
And then I remembered, seeing my neice's new godamm pooch and that he must of been the cause of this mess up!

I'm lying in my bed at my mom's home, next to my girlfriend. It's just like how it's supposed to be. For some reason I'm pretty convinced that I'm dreaming. I decide to push one of my hands through the glass of the window. It goes through. I'm happy to finally be lucid again. There is a blue substance behind the window. Kind of like a body of water, but the texture is as if it has been drawn with crayons. I don't remember every single thing that I did with my lucidity. At a certain point I remembered a lucid challenge I had with werty52: create a flameball in your hand (he has already won that bet). I try to make it happen through several ways. I especially use different voice commands. None of them work. I consider the fact that I'm not believing in myself hard enough to make it happen. I then decide to do something else. I think I'm flying about for a bit. I'm a slightly annoyed by my lack of control over this dream.



Somewhere in a fancy/modern hallway. I guess I'm just observing. Justen, along with a few other guys is in the hallway. They're all freerunners I think. At least Justen is, that much I know for sure. There's a slanted glass wall and he does a run up against it and tries to perform another trick, but he doesn't manage to finish it. He nearly defied gravity there. Then he runs through the hallway, does a round off > back full combo. While twisting in the air he smashes into an art piece that was standing in the hall. It shatters. It was made out of stone or keramic or something alike. It looked a bit like an old Greek head.

D₁-Had a dream that something wouldn't let go of me, in fustration I blurted out,"I don't care if I never dream anymore, this HAS to stop!." Donnovan appeared, he looked really worried and anxious. Cupping my face he asked," You don't really mean that do you?" "No of course not I was just fustrated." I looked away feeling flustered. How come whenever I want to ask him questions I never lucid dream or see him or anything... but as soon as I say i'm done with dreaming or I'm tired of all the cat and mouse play he is suddenly worried... Interesting how the interactions are seemingly one-sided.

D₂-(This actually happened a few days later I've been distracted so the time line for my dream journal is fucked up) Was with my coworker, her son, and her mother. For some reason we were fleeing. At one point I had come back from fishing and was exhausted so I decided to take a nap. Whenever I woke up something rubbed me the wrong way, deciding to stand I was blind-sided and practically tackled to the ground. A guy was on top of me pinning me down telling me to play dead. Squirming to get free he pulled down the mask covering his face and I realized it was Donnovan. Furrowing my brow I heard a man call out,"Is she the one, the healer you've had us looking for?" Donnovan looked at him," Yes its her." Getting up I brushed my clothes off and looked around for my coworker, they had disappeared in the chaos. Glaring at Donnovan I was hoisted up onto a horse. In a language only we knew Donnovan told me to play deaf. For some reason their "leader of the guard" needed a doctor of some sort to look after the soldiers and in the dream I was a renounded healer.

Dream #1: I started the dream w/ being in a group of ppl at a polical event for Hillary Clinton & I was supposed to be applying for some kind of position. Then my cat woke me up again & I lazily fed her & peed & laid back down(less than 5 minutes) & tried to get back into the dream.
Dream #2: This dream started immediately when I laid back down. I still had the last dream fresh in my head. I left off from where I had woken up but now we are going through a wing of this location where there are ER Rooms. It's like a big complex. And nothing really occurred except we were in there talking. Ppl were still trying to convince me to work for Hillary & since I don't like her I'm debating this because the money is good.

Is this chaining? I've done this for years so it just seems like some form of normal for me. Sometimes more than this. Usually it's due to the content of the dream which I'm enjoying & just want to dream more of this. But this time I wanted to go back in because I just wanted to see what would happen since I wasn't really enjoying it & it worked.

Created Sunday 03 April 2016

Today, I managed to get into a WILD state. I also remembered one other dream besides that one, though not as much of it as I should.

Spoiler for Spoilered to save space:

Spoiler for WARNING: Potential Steven Universe Spoilers:

Dream 1 - Gem China Doll

The visuals were somewhat blurred. I wasn't sure where I was, only knowing I was watching TV on a large screen. My brother, Theodore, was also nearby.

Surfed around for a bit before settling on a cartoon. Only, this turned out to be Steven Universe, a show not to our preference anymore. I was about to change it, though seeing hints of the season's end made me delay that if briefly.

Well, Steven was captured once again, being hauled off by a battered and apprehensive Jasper. They arrived within an unknown plane, mostly dark save for a cool colored floor. A tall, bright figure stepped forth from the shadows: Yellow Diamond has returned.

A short dialogue begins, where Jasper presents Steven as a plea in restoring lost honor. Just then, she's impaled by several spears, and (save for her gem) "poofs" out of existence. A pan out reveals Steven's fellow Crystal Gems, Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl, a distance behind, primed for battle.

Steven takes Jasper's gem, and, in an uncharacteristic move, shatters it on the ground, much to everyone's shock. But, as Steven reveals, he didn't kill her, but rather, changed her. Jasper reforms, much different this time, as she now appeared as a life sized, brunette china doll in a black and white dress. The doll's lifeless smile was very unsettling, not helped that it retained movement in its wide eyes.

Not too clear on what happened, save that Yellow Diamond suffered a similar fate. Not much else happened until the dream ended.

Dream 2 - Inedible Snacks and a Phone Call

Scene 1 - A Lesson in Dream Gastronomy
During my WILD attempt, someone walked in to awaken me, and then stepped out. Surely, this was to remind me of some arrangement later in the day. I was annoyed at first, but this got me a bit suspicious. Indeed, after waiting for a few minutes, I noticed a dizzying sensation in my head, a tell-tale sign that I was (near) dreaming. Such joy would've make me jump right into trying stupid things for fun, but I reigned that in quickly in favor of sorting through the TOTMs.

Being the gourmand that I am, I first thought of TOTM number one. And so, I bit into whatever was nearby, the pillows, in this case. This tasted of but scented fabric, much to my disappointment.

I was a bit concerned of my state. So, I got out of bed, opened the drapes, and looked outside. Instead of my backyard, I found an urban area before me, multistoried concrete buildings as far as the eye could see, all under a grey, cloudy dawn sky. That's all the reassurance I needed.

Anyway, directly below was the roof of one of such squared towers. I quickly jumped right out the window towards there, landing safely via a slowed descent. There wasn't much to see, just a mostly flat, concrete rooftop with an occasional steam vent. Painted a few feet within the perimeter was a yellow line, not unlike street lines. The visuals began deteriorating, but a quick hand rubbing fixed that up good.

Once again, I thought to try the taste task, so, I peeled off some of the paint and had a sample. This, I realized, wasn't anything good, just chalk. What a pity.

Not sated, I looked around for something else, and eventually found a small, concrete stone. I bit into this, only to find it was just as it was, looking, feeling (and as difficult to bite into), and, in this case, tasting like an ordinary rock. Had mixed feelings here, both wonder and disappointment on such realism. Surely, it wouldn't have killed me to have it flavored like, say, a rolled hazelnut cream wafer, or a Chick-O-Stick, or something?

Oh, well. Without delay, I moved onto another task: laying on a bed of clouds. I looked up at the storm clouds above, and thought, "I am there", all while purposefully trembling in place (the latter being my personal method of warping). But, instead of that, the visuals, if not the environment, simply fogged up. Before long, I was transitioned without input.

Scene 2 - Fumbled the Call
The visuals were dark. I was back in bed, the poor lighting indicating the dead of night. I was still aware of my dream state.

Immediately, I got up and out the room. I overheard voices from one of the rooms nearby, probably mom and one of my brothers, but I ignored that. Anyway, I went downstairs towards the front door, glancing at the fancy cupboard on my way there. From out the window, I saw a clear night sky, less then ideal conditions for the previous attempted task.

All of a sudden, the environment began collapsing before me, leaving me standing in the void. At this, I prioritized on my personal task: finding my dream guide, by ear, primarily, considering my hindered sight. I instinctively tapped on my temple, which, in turn brought forth a discorporated interface, a hologram of monochrome green text on a black background. A series of about a dozen numbers cycled in view, all to the noise of low buzzing. An IP address, I thought. In any case, after a click, the screen changes, now displaying two very blurred portraits. Was this it? After a pause, I break the silence.

"Hello?"

"Yes?", responded the entity, the voice feminine and sounding beleaguered.

"Are you a dream guide?"

"Yes", she says more impatiently.

I almost freeze from excitement, but recompose myself through heavy breaths. I noticed the portraits were behaving erratically, becoming blurred stains in one moment, and, for a brief flicker, completely clear the next. From this, I could note a dark haired, round faced woman on the other line. What's more, both these images were drawn in, depicting us in some comic-book like style. Anyway, once I'm ready, I continue.

"So... does this mean you'll be my dream guide?" An ominous quiet follows, one that felt like minutes. Before long, she answers, this time, with a more mischievous tone.

"You'll have to find me first."

The screen vanishes afterwards. In desperation, I go in a frantic search, fumbling around in the dark space for... no given reason. Hindsight sure makes this seem ridiculous. Well, I did at least think to brighten the place up, trying to do so through willpower alone. I didn't quite get that, instead finding faint light reflecting off a familiar environment, the entrance to my home, specifically.

But, before I could act, the dream collapses immediately, and I find myself in bed.

1) I was in a class and was asked to read. I looked at the page and couldn't understand the writing, looked back and it had changed. I knew immediately that I was dreaming, but looked at a hand to check and it looked very odd. For some reason I remember then thinking "I'm dreaming" but it shouldn't be like this, and lost lucidity immediately. I was then in a playground and I can't remember anything else from that dream.

2) Looking back over a skyline and seeing a tennis court with 2 high chairs at each end. Then I was playing football with a boy with a tennis ball.

3) Looking at a clockface, it was raised and golden. The clock was really old and in a wooden case. I was fiddling with the mechanism and adjusting how fast the clock was going. Then I was with someone else and it was like being in school we had to collect our drawings from the week, I collected a few they were some that I remember my children drawing when they were younger. Then I was in a university canteen chosing lunch. I looked at all the food and remember it in detail. There was a vegetarian moussaka, a girl sitting to the side had her elbow in the salad of the one I wanted and I was abit annoyed that she was touching it but decided to have it anyway. The serving lady said I had to eat the salad first then she would heat up the moussake. I ate the salad then she took it away to put it in a microwave. I looked at the time and notice dthat I had an appointment and couldn't be late so rushed off and didn't have time to eat. Other things happened that I can't remember. Then I was outside an old people's home and someone had been put into an ambulance thatset off on blue lights, it didn't go very fast and I was discussing with someone about why they bothered using blue lights.

4) I was stood by the front door of my childhood home. There were two black panthers outside, and I was struggling to lock the door so they couldn't come in. Then my family arrived home in the car, I could see my wife looking at the panthers. A young man was then fighting with one of them, he was losing and he was bleeding heavily from his neck. My family came over to the door with the young man, they were talking at the front door rather than getting in and I started kicking one of the panthers. I think I woke up then.
