    1. #57: Persistent housemate / WILD

      by , 12-18-2015 at 09:07 AM
      I went to bed at 23:30. I woke up around 07:00, rolled around in my bed for a while and eventually fell asleep again. It's now 08:45 (I snoozed a few times).

      Fragment
      » It's already dark outside. I'm in a park. I'm following a guy who seems quite creepy and pervy. I kill him, I believe because someone gave me the assignment to do so.

      Persistent housemate
      I'm standing in a kitchen. I'm not myself. Instead I'm Garion, one of the main characters from a book I'm reading. There's another person in the kitchen. A guy, I think my housemate. I have been assigned to kill him in a very specific way that involves poisoning him. It's too complicated and I go for another method. Eventually I decide to throw two knifes at his chest. He throws one knife back and I'm scared for a moment. I'm sort of frozen in fear and can't do much to evade the knife. I'm lucky however, as the hilt of the knife hits me in the throat, leaving me unharmed. I don't think he also threw the second knife back. He doesn't make much of an effort to fend of this attack. I take a metal watercooker and hit him with it several times. It's still warm. So warm that I can't have my skin touch the metal for too long, cause it hurts. I decide to push the metal against his.. face? This guy is still alive. I consider pouring the hot water over him, though I can't recall actually doing so. At some point Polgara, another character from the book, joins me in the kitchen. She doesn't do anything though. I feel like she is on my side and 'outranks' me a bit. Eventually I'm in the hallway with my housemate and I throw him down the stairs. Just at the moment that I let go, someone rings the doorbell. I mention to Polgara, who is still standing in the kitchen, that this is just perfect. We'll pretend he fell down the stairs while wanting to answer the doorbell and that's how he died. I'm aware of the fact that I'm ignoring the knife wounds in his chest, but I honestly don't really care anymore. That guy was insanely difficult to kill. I go down to answer the door. My housemate has someone ended up outside. I walk outside (it's daytime) and I look at the remains of his body. There's barely half a body left. There are two men standing in the garden basically not caring at all. I still pretend to be shocked by the fact that I have just found my housemate in this condition. The guys are gangsters of sorts and they wanted to deal with my housemate and his girlfriend I think. They go up the stairs and towards one floor above the kitchen, where my housemate's room is.

      WILD
      After waking up I laid down comfortably again. After a while I noticed that I was quite aware while I was transitioning into a dream. The dream hadn't stabilised yet though, which made me wonder if perhaps I was just caught up in my thoughts. I could still hear a sound from the real world. I didn't consider the idea that I was WILDing and I moved around a bit, which snapped me out of it.
    2. #183 - True SC1 / Boar hunt / Bomb shelter / Balding / Restaurant / Disgusting Toes

      by , 12-18-2015 at 06:43 AM (The Oneironaut's Odyssey)
      SC1) 12:51
      True SC1
      I woke up and had some small memories of dreamlets but nothing solid enough to put on paper. I did a WBTB to let the cat out of my room and also to eat some apple crumble (because why not? )

      I don't usually wake up at this time so this is the first I've woken up for the 1st sleep cycle of the night.

      SC2) 02:32
      Dream - Boar hunt
      I was in my house, yet it didn't exactly resemble it at first. It seemed that we were on a camp (university camp?) and I found out there was a huge pig/boar running around in the house. I decide to deal with it, it's in a small room that has a refrigerator and other food stuff in it. I knock the boar unconscious somehow and wonder if I should put it into the freezer and let it die that way? Hmm oh well I'll leave it for now. I decide to go ask for help, I head outside and on my way out of the small room I see a stack of bagged pig meat and blood and guts. When I get outside I see 3 guys and maybe 4 girls all sunbathing. The guys have their shirts off and the girls are bikinis, they're all lying on beach towels on the back deck of my house (though it's clear it's not my 'house' if that makes sense). I also remember one of the guys who was called Alex Sigley. I speak up and ask if someone wants to go half with me on the boar I just killed, 3 of the guys say yes but none of the girls want any. One girl then gets up with a sigh as she knows how to deal with the boar (butchering it or something) which is what I wanted, I have no clue how to deal with this thing.

      My current WBTB alarm is set to 02:00 and I need to set it to 02:30 I think, as that seems to be the right time to wake up.

      SC3) 04:18
      Dream - Bomb shelter
      I'm on a road near where I live there the road forks off. There was quite a few people here on the road with me and we were chatting (though I don't remember who they were). We must have been doing some sort of roadworks. Things were pretty happy during most of the dream but towards the end a train arrived. It turned the corner out of one of the roads that forked off and headed onto our road (this is impossible, and also there's no train there in RL). We alert each other to the train and head over to the pavement, I have to pull along a retard who was clapping his hands. There's a person doing the announcements, he berates us and I notice we're missing some people. The missing people had been 'dealt with'. "Keep away from the manhole cover!" the announcer announced angrily. I can tell he's evil. The manhole cover he spoke of was a sort of 'time capsule' for the rich, so they could be protected in the case of nuclear fallout (Fallout 4 reference I guess). There's a bunch of rich folk (who look like they're from the 1950s) streaming out of the train I think, but they had also supposedly just exited the manhole, but they were walking towards the manhole (rather than away from it), and also seemed to be walking past it. (Poor dream logic but I didn't catch on so no lucid ).

      SC4) 05:58
      Dream - Balding
      I'm in the bathroom looking into the mirror, WHAT THE HELL. My hair has bald patches all through it! Ugh, oh no... This can't be real? I have a FA and I'm in the bathroom again, but this time my hair is normal. Phew, it was just a dream . I keep looking at the mirror just to make sure, my reflection is quite accurate. But as I look at my eyes... My iris' don't seem right, they look like solid green disks with a black pupil that isn't quite in the center. Hmm??? It changes a couple times, why is it doing that? Oh wait, I must be dreaming. It all seems so obvious now. I take a step back and my vision is that of a severely drunk person, why can't I see well? I decide on going straight to doing telekinesis on the toilet. I raise my hand and will the toilet to float but to no avail. Meanwhile I'm still seeing the world in a sort of drunken state. Geeze maybe that's why I can't do telekinesis? Oh! It must be because I went cross-eyed looking at my reflection earlier? ( best dream logic) I 'uncross' my eyes and the dream becomes less shaky. That's better. I walk out of the bathroom and to my room, I try to do telekinesis again but my vision kind of becomes a bit drunk once more and I'm unsuccessful at telekinesis.

      SC5) 07:00
      Dream - Restaurant
      I remember being in a restaurant and I think I'm an employee. The restaurant has a dark wooden texture and has an appropriate dim mood-light setting for dining out. I'm at the checkout talking to an Indian girl who is a fellow employee, I think we're talking about something and she might be teaching me how to work here. Her face is next to mine, side by side with a bit of a gap between us. She says something and it's a bit flirtatious and she moves in to kiss me. Our lips touch and I'm like 'Oh shit, have I just cheated on my gf? Well... I'm in the middle of the kiss, I'll wait until it's over' (for some reason I thought this was the only option ). The kiss was very vivid, I remember closing my eyes to it and feeling the texture of her lips, they soft and have a smooth feeling which made me think it wasn't quite right for how kissing should feel. She gets into the kiss, I wake up before it finishes.

      I tried writing this down but all I wrote was 'Kiss in restaurant, I'm an employee'. I must have really struggled to stay awake O_O

      Dream fragment - Disgusting Toes
      I'm in the living room at home and see that my mum has just gotten home from work. She's taking her shoes off as I go and talk to her about my toes. They have these absolutely revolting, putrid, disgusting bubbly veruca wart growths on them, mostly on my big left toe, the bottom of the toe next to it and a couple other toes. My mum doesn't take it seriously enough, can she see how disgusting it looks? I'm a little stressed and anxious about the whole thing. I remember that I may have gotten them from an earlier dream in the night where I was running at night time with a couple people. Something happened and there was broken glass on the ground which had the blood of someone else I was with on it. I got a few shards in my toes and that's how my foot got infected it seems.
    3. #182 - Home / WILD

      by , 12-18-2015 at 05:56 AM (The Oneironaut's Odyssey)
      SC1)
      Dream - Home
      I'm at home in my room, yet outside is the back deck rather than the front deck and sitting at a round wooden table are two girls drinking coffee. I'm trying not to be caught I think, as I think me and another girl are doing 'things' in my room. Are the deed is done I think I clean up my room a bit, and I remember that the 2 girls outside had vivid outfits, one I think was wearing blue and yellow gym gear and the other was wearing red and blue. The curtains (which were drawn so no one could see into my room) were the same as the ones I had when I was a kid, with little animals and stuff on it. I think my cat Peaches was in my room too.

      SC2) 04:50
      Dream - WILD
      After waking up from my last dream I didn't manage to get back to sleep. I had done a WBTB and must have woken myself up too much. After rolling around in bed for over an hour I ended up getting visuals and sensations but I didn't manage to fully transition to a dream. Eventually I realize I'm in a dream right as it started ---> I'm at home in the family room sitting on the sofa, there's a few people and everything is very realistic. Someone says something which slightly deviates from what I remember to be the truth which spurs me to do a RC. It succeeds and I'm a little unsure, this is so real, how can it be a dream? I reality check several times and confirm that it's definitely a dream so I walk on outside and try to stabilize (even though it's actually quite stable already) by shouting "Stabilize!" loudly, yet it isn't as loud as it should be. I try this several times, I'm hoping to boost the stability and depth of the lucid dream but it backfires as I end up destabilizing the dream.

    4. No recall today, but here's an old lucid!

      LUCID
      FALSE AWAKENING
      NIGHTMARE
      FRAGMENT
      (Unconnected dreams indicated by a *. Connected dreams indicated by a •. )

      I didn't recall any dreams this morning (still doing CAT), but here is a lucid dream I recorded on the 14th that I never posted here.

      I'm in a place that looks like a small grocery store, almost like Molsberry's Market. I remember to do a nose pinch RC, and I can breathe through my pinched nose. I do it again to double check. I realize I am dreaming and I decide to walk around the store, but my sister is there and I feel she is following me. I try to utilize some dream control by saying to myself "I'm alone in this store". When I reach the exit, there is a cashier there, but he doesn't say anything. My sister hands me a shopping cart and leads me to a kind of stunt ramp situated on a road bridge (those elevated highways you sometimes see). Utilizing my dream control again, I float myself up to the ramp. I get butterflies in my stomach but I try to push them down by reminding myself that I'm dreaming. There are some people, mostly guys, doing flips and dangerous stunts on the ramp. One guy lands in the nearby lake/ocean with a broken bike. My cart has turned into a bike and, even though I still know I'm dreaming, do not want to take such a risk.

      There is a slight improvement in dream control here (especially the floating part) but you see I have trouble controlling DCs (In childhood I had dreams where the DCs would scare me, either by popping in front of me suddenly, speaking loudly in gibberish, or I would get the eerie feeling I was being watched or followed.)

    5. my neighborhood (lucid dream fragments)

      by , 12-17-2015 at 03:48 PM (The Internal and Subconscious World of DropTherapy)
      EDIT (9/17/17):
      I was walking down the street with a group of friends that don't actually exist when an alien spaceship crashed right in front of me and turned into a robot. My friends were running and screaming all over the place as the creature was shooting lasers everywhere. I then looked at my hand. Instantly I said out loud "this is a dream, isn't it?" due to the fact that my hand was twice as long as it usually was and appeared to have shorter fingers. I then gained lucidity and decided to roam this world that I would only be in for what felt like a few hours.

      fragment #1 : i was at a school, trying to take revenge on a bully.
      there was a hole in his pants. i snuck over there. "what are you doing?" he asked.
      "nothing, i..uh..." i said. he then shoved my head to the ground. he stared at me angrily for a few
      seconds, but then smiled as he said "nice attempt, kid" and let me free "but the next time you try that, you'll be
      on the ground crying."

      fragment #2 : i am a big fan of amy rose from sonic the hedgehog. remembering that in my dream, I
      go to my next-door-neighbor's house. I think of a good reason why she would meet me, and then i concentrated on the door. i opened the door, and out came an old lady. she started to lick my arm.
      "and now for the last of the glue..." she said. "done."


      so... yeah. that one backfired on me.

      EDIT(9/17/17):
      Fragment #3: This one is basically a vivid scrap. I remember my friends and I were stuck in a maze of glowing light cubes, attempting to find a clear exit.

    6. Too Many Spiders / Phone Call (DILD)

      by , 12-16-2015 at 08:21 PM
      I'm in the kitchen with my husband and one of the cats. A TV or monitor (neither of which is in the kitchen in WL) is advertising a website called "soundandspeed.com." I make a note of it, because it looks like it will be a useful place to pick up Christmas gifts.

      The cat is dashing around like a maniac: she runs up to me as if she wants to be cuddled, then runs away again as if afraid. I'm lying on the floor at this point so grab her and put her under my head, like a fluffy pillow, which calms her a bit.

      The kitchen is full of spiders of all sizes. At one point I step in something that crackles like dry leaves, but I feel something wet on my foot (I'm just wearing socks) and notice that what I stepped in was the carcass of an enormous spider, at least two feet across. The legs have dried out into husks, the source of the crackling sound, but there is apparently some residual moisture in the body cavity, which is what got on my foot. I feel a surge of disgust.

      There is another large dead spider by the door leading outside, this one about eight inches across. It is flattened, which makes me think I must have accidentally stepped on that one earlier.

      The spiders seem to have come along with stuff that we brought in from the garage. There are also cobwebs and dead leaves clinging to the boxes. I'm not happy about this. I see a spider that I suspect to be a black widow, and as I go toward the sink to grab rubber gloves so that I can crush it, I see another spider on the edge of a crate that is clearly a brown widow. (Both black and brown widows are actually quite commonplace outdoors where I live in WL, so this is not an unusual experience.) Should I kill it? I remind myself that I've decide not to kill the brown ones since they are less dangerous than the black, but I can't have it living in the house, so I decide to trap it and put it outside.

      "This is an infestation of spiders," I think, as I go to the cupboard to get a glass. I ponder the word "infest" as I choose a glass of a suitable size and shape for trapping the spider. Next I need a stiff but thin piece of paper to cover the opening once the spider is inside, and I notice a piece of mail on the counter that will do the trick. As I reach for it, I notice a dead branch propped up on the counter, occupied by another strange-looking spider. It is glossy black with the red markings of a black widow, but the red forms a splotch rather than an hourglass shape. The spider itself looks oddly inflated, almost perfectly round as though it might burst. I look more closely and see a ring of tiny spiders, its young, circling around it. I decide I had better get rid of this one before worrying about the brown widow, so I grab the branch and take it outside.

      I throw the branch over the wall of my patio into the bushes, silently wishing that the spiders will have a good life—so long as they stay out of my house. Meanwhile, I notice that the surroundings look a bit different than usual; the neighbors appear to be living in an RV rather than their house, and the bushes are more sparse than they should be. As I start walking back to my house, the realization comes very naturally: I'm dreaming.

      I remind myself that I should begin a task in order to help maintain dream awareness, so try to think of what to do. No personal goals come to mind, so I think about the TOTMs and remember the one with the phone. That seems a good one to pursue, under the circumstances.

      I begin by imagining that my phone is right in front of me on top of the wall and ringing. It doesn't immediately manifest, so I decide I need to build expectation: the phone must be ringing in the house. I dash back as though I already hear it and don't want to miss the call. Bursting through the kitchen door, sure enough, I see my phone on the counter. Although it is not making an audible sound, the screen is lit up with an incoming call, so I quickly grab it and push the button.

      I hear the voice of a polite-sounding young man with a Middle Eastern accent. He is already talking, and sounds like he was in the middle of leaving a message when I took the call.

      "Hello?" I interrupt.

      The man doesn't seem to hear me at first, and continues with his message. There was more to it, but this is the part I can remember: "—honey and sweetness. Despite Middle Eastern rituals and invocation of Far Eastern gods, we regret to inform you that—"

      "I'm here! I'm here!" I insist. Finally I get his attention. He states my name. "Yes?" I ask.

      "What is your opinion of our company's business practices?"

      The question mystifies me, because I still have no idea who he is or what company he represents, so I inquire, "What is it that you do?"

      Instead of answering directly, he asks, "What do you think about your reduced number of intimid—?"

      He was interrupted by the sudden dispersal of the dream. My impression was that the last word was going to be "intimidating," but "intimate" is another possibility. Unfortunately, neither one adds much clarity to whatever it was he was about to say!

    7. calm, wakinglife-like lucid dream after 90min of sleep

      by , 12-16-2015 at 02:48 PM
      Got to bed at 00:00 woke up at 1:40 with a lucid.
      was an interesting experience. i was lying awake in my bed and "couldnt fall asleep". just like that thinking around and decide to do a nosepinch and was lucid... i dont know if i was awake for real before or if it was a FA. i think i woke up before i could do anything but just lay still and DEILDED back in. my ancor was tractile sense... i am not sure if i am in my dream again. i do a a motionless RC where i close my respiratory ways in my throat. i seem to dream. i do a nosepinch to be sure. i carefully open my eyes. they feel dry. everything is dark. i then stand up and see that i have the cloth on i went to bed with. i put on my slippers. i know i am dreaming but it feels weird. it is so realistic. no random or dreamy stuff just my room. i go to the window and want to phase thru but it is solid and cold. it feels like 100% waking... i looked at my hand and it looked perfectly normal. but i repeatedly try and can breath thru my pinched nose.... but this seems the only sign i am really dreaming. i look around and see that a jacket is lying on my bed and my plant window board looked slightly different so i finally accept that i must be dreaming and dare to open the window and fly or glide outside and down to a DC. i started a short convo like "hi how are you" but then say ah no sry and just go away. i fly some meters (this time like a bird with moving my arms, it feels exhausting) got to a restaurant called Pharaoh. i get the desire to go inside and eat something. it looks closed but when i approache it i see it is open. there is a table with some plates. from right to left it seems that the food gets more done/cooked. from raw over breaded to grilled. i take the plate to my left. it is already used by someone and there is just a piece of steak left and some fries. i take the plate and move to a table. at the table right next to me is a man and a woman smoking i think but i dont pay to much attention and dont smellanything. i think it was their plate but who cares. i sit down and start eating. the beef tastes incredible. but somewhat it is dry in my mouth and i cant swallow it. i just tasted one bite. i want to eat more but i just cant get rid of it in my mouth... i wake up shortly after.
      the whole time i couldnt get the scene of matrix out of my head
      Cypher: You know, I know this steak doesn't exist. I know that when I put it in my mouth, the Matrix is telling my brain that it is juicy and delicious. After nine years, you know what I realize?
      [Takes a bite of steak]
      Cypher: Ignorance is bliss.


      i had a strange feeling in this dream. thinking about the definition of reality...

    8. All my exes like pizza

      by , 12-15-2015 at 09:32 PM
      12/13/15

      *dream
      *lucid

      I was in a pizza place, I orders a piece of pizza and took another one. But it just seemed like a compulsion cause I wasn't really hungry and the pizza was totally gross. I put it in the front pocket of my backpack and when I went to pay for my other slice, the guy ringing me up noticed the piece in my bag. He didn't get my in trouble but he made me feel super guilty saying "look I'm broke, too" and turning out his pockets, so I said I'd pay for the pizza. My mom was there sitting at a table, but I didn't have much interaction with her.

      In a dark house with lots of rooms. Most of the rooms had beds in them. There were a couple of people, but the only one I remember clearly was my ex boyfriend Brandon. I remember that he went to lay down in one of the rooms, but I followed him in and asked him if he wanted to go to one of the lighter rooms with two beds, cause it seemed lonely and scary in the small room he had chosen. We were sitting next to eachother and I went to do a reality check, I was teaching him about them, maybe I thought it would pull him out of the sad mood he was in. My hand didn't go through my hand so I tried the nose breathing one. That worked and so I concluded that we were dreaming. After that I took that information and tried to walk through a closed door...it didn't work so I tried turning around and summoning someone. So neither of these things worked...and I think the key word is "trying" I was "trying to do these things" not believing they could happen. This is actually something I've been fretting over because after first reading about LD techniques I was super excited, but it seems like I've become worse at it because believing I could do it already has turned into trying to do something that I already could do! Does that make sense?

      Blah.

    9. 2015-12-15 two-part night BTS with LD#163 [tree], dragon gym, kiss the fallen girl

      by , 12-15-2015 at 06:40 AM
      Late to bed, and early interruption = short night so far, maybe grab a late morning nap later

      + (f) some "sting?" involving a car up on a road and wrapping some odd wire with something else (weird)?

      + work: company "N" CEO J comes to me and tells me how some important celebrity has endorsed our product once it was shown to him. I say why wasn't the product shown much earlier for better effect from the endorsement? J agrees with me. Lunch is brought to me, my lunch in a plastic food container containing sliced baked potatoes, I think CEO J is going to take it. He gives it to me along with a large piece of pizza with no crust on it, held together by a solid layer of baked cheese on top.

      I'm holding a conversation with the engineers. I'm asking for technical characteristics. I give a detailed scenario and ask for particular performance results. Can a particular configuration achieve perfect results? Not quite it turns out.

      There is an odd digital clock thing with a lot of different LEDs on it. It was made by some guy. Then I'm looking at the guy's life flowchart. At one point his flowchart shows him going home and getting stuck in a loop with his wife talking to him. Then it shows when his wife stops this that he moves to a state where he can do "useful work" [haha].

      awake from phone calls to spouse
      get up and study for an hour
      wife leaves for early morning appointment
      back to bed
      more dreams!

      + LD#163 doing stuff walking around outside with a group/team, observing things, maybe some combat going on. I'm shooting an airsoft rifle? I find myself standing and looking at a large, interesting tree. My "mindfulness" observer mode kicks in [YES!] and I realize what I'm doing and that I'm dreaming. I'm excited and I start walking without clear direction. Things are a bit unstable, so I take off one of my gloves and rub my hands a bit together (one gloved and one ungloved). I'm walking down a path/dirt road leading to an open area below. I think of TOTM but no goals come to me. So I remember a secondary goal, and
      Spoiler for NSFW, sexual body parts & fluids (eww), sexual encounter:


      the dream fades.

      + in some happening (conflict? battle?) and a girl falls from a tall height onto a platform in the middle. She's hurt I imagine and I go to comfort her. I hold her head tenderly in my hands and start making out with her. My best technique. Lots of lip pulling and sliding. I ask her if she likes the lip pulling and she says "yes" so I do it a little bit more and then move on to the sliding. It feels really good.

      + escape from the dragon gym. I enter with a companion into a gym [it is the YMCA I went to in A when I was small] through double doors. The doors are very stiff and hard to move. The doors seem to be freshly painted, the surface feels sticky like fresh paint. I look at my hand and don't see any traces of paint on it so it must be not too fresh. Inside the large room, I feel like there is a strong evil/dangerous presence, a dragon. There is a small barrier made of cloth on a frame and we hunker down right behind it but I know the dragon is aware of us and right on the other side of it. (It gets my friend?) I decide to use my invisibility (thing? innate ability) but I realize it won't be enough because dragons have a keen sense of smell and hearing. So I step out from behind the hiding place and throw a small thing and a bolster/pillow thing across to the other side of the room to distract it. Then I make a run for the door, and I sense it is right behind me. I force my way through the first set of stiff doors and the in-between area is so tightly packed with (piles of books?) that I will have trouble opening the second set of doors. I manage to get one of the set of doors open and push my way out. The dragon is now a threatening woman. As I emerge through the low second door to freedom I exclaim, "Books!"

      Woken by a phone call, so recall a bit weak. There were other dreams but they slipped away from the jolting waking.

    10. Floating, exploring and calling for Arxas

      by , 12-15-2015 at 03:51 AM (The Erratic dreams of StaySharp)
      Today I FINALLY had a lucid again. Maybe it's because I got a small job yesterday, something I've been needing and previously I watched some jobs to go to other people by sheer luck, or rather my misfortune. Whatever.

      I was in some kind of city, passing something that might've been a restaurant The outside spot where people where sitting was 1,5m or so higher than the street, and there was a slopping angle, I stood on the slopping surface and jumped, but instead of falling relatively fast I managed to pass the street of the crossing I was at, jumping 20m or so. This was in fact pretty much enough to make me aware of my surroundings and a short moment later I was lucid, even without reality checking. I was on the left side of the street and went into a building, which unsurprisingly was very spacious on the inside and also had an odd architecture. Parts of it seemed... like a skate park I guess. There were also other people and they've been working on at least one room, ladders and buckets of paint were in that room. I remember that the ladder tumbled at one point and I got hit by a bit of paint, oddly I seemed not to wear a shirt for that moment, albeit I think I did before and after that incident. Throughout the dream I remembered Arxas and occasionally called out for her, albeit I wasn't quite sure what to do so nothing much came out of it. The first time my vision went blank and the dream tried to fade I desperately tried to hold on, and eventually jumped down some stairs (or a slopping surface, not sure). The breeze and impact I felt due to the movement actually pulled me back into the dream for a few minutes. The next time it faded I tried the same again, this time without success, although it felt like I almost had success.

      I am living in India, it appear to be night as I look around the wide field of the desert. I kept my body lying down on the ground for a form of cover as I am expecting snipers to take their shot when they see me. I do routine check ups to make sure I have not been followed. I look around and realize my eye sight is beginning to get blurry. I soon couldn't see a thing, this is bad I thought. I want to get down there so that the power there could be obtain. However I decided to retreat and assume this could be an enemies attack.

      I go down from the hill and back to my base. There was an elderly woman seeing on a couch telling me she is tired of complaining about her life. I told her I am done for the day and went in to a room as she continues to want television. The dream scene has now change in to the room I am usually in. It is dark and from the shades from the curtains covering the window I can tell it is night. I had awoken from the usual leaf blowers who carry the loud machines. I decided to went for him to be done however he began banging at the window.

      And demanded that I let him in. I had a feeling something like this could happen and notice that the window was beginning to crack. I got up and tried to go to the living room, I then continue to open the bathroom door and lock my self inside. I hear him bash through the door with a weapon and for some reason the restroom tiles kept making sounds with my feet against them. This allowed him to know where I have been hiding. My eyes stare at the door handle as he uses some ping pong racket to phase through the door handle.

      That didn't make any sense to me but he's here and I begin to tense myself for a fight. To my surprise the door opens up to a boy who looks 13 years old wearing a purple hoodie and khaki shorts. I get out the restroom and demanded what is going on. He looks at me expecting me to stay still but I push him aside and can see my family inside a car while the front door is opened. The boy look at me as he prepares to attack but I ignore this and walk outside. I am still frustrated but is now more curious to why everyone is outside. It seems they were preparing to leave, the sky is now sunny which is odd considering it has been dark not too long ago.

      I go back inside the house as I just remember the boy was still inside. I look for him and can see he is in the kitchen making himself something. I prepare to grab him but he quickly pulls out a knife. I told him to calm down and that I wasn't going to try anything. I then check my father room and notice he has stolen some of the pages in my dream journal.

      More irritated than before, I turn around to go look for him no longer caring that the boy is wielding a knife. However no one is in the house, go outside the front door and see that everyone has left. The sky is now dark with a couple of bright red showing the sun set was just ending. I begin to think maybe I can still catch up to the car even though I didn't know where it was. I begin running anyway and soon notice that the pathway around this area is now different from how I remember it. This isn't right I said, I soon realize I am in a different location. This place look very expensive and the people around here were all well dressed. I see railings and a fence, so I ran to it but realize as I got directly in contact with it that it was much bigger close up. I look down one of railings and can see I am on the top floor. I tried finding a way down passing through a couple dancing and see a slide that looks like the mouth of a sea creature. I slid down it thinking it was odd.

      I walk pass other people going through a small tunnel , one guy pointed at this board we were all near to and said all the numbers mix with words were quantum mechanic. Some were debating with his assumptions as me and others struggle to get through the line. I manage to get out and enter this weird grocery store, I decided to get a couple of things since I was on my own now. That is when I met up with the kid who stole some of my dream journal. He continue to follow me through out the store. He then grabs my head and makes funny gestures. I turn around ask what did he want. He tells me to be quiet and continues to put his hand on my head. I told him why did he rob me? He replied that it didn't matter and that he just did it to do it. I yelled out that wasn't good enough and demanded to know why again. He decides to say that he has robbed me plenty of times before and that it has become a habit for him.

      I told him I had been aware of numerous items going missing lately. It made me angry that he didn't have a good reason for stealing. I snap and threw all the grocery items I had in the cart in the air. I told him I am ready to fight as he begins to tear up. I couldn't believe this, suddenly a woman working in the grocery store came to his aid asking what is wrong. He drops to the floor and continues to cry. I grab the child by the neck telling him he should know better. The woman grab my arm trying to throw me off the boy. I elbow her and could hear a lot of people beginning to hear the situation. I then ran off from the store. Passing a police officer while looking for a car.

      The sky was now grey and partially raining. I find a car and enter inside and continue to drive off. Many of the cars were driving fast and some were trying to slow down as the rain made the road very slippery. I tried driving up to the next lane however due to how fast I am going I lost control and landed on a muddy swamp. My car wouldn't move anymore and I had now transition in to third person point of view. The car took a turn for the worst as it was getting suck in to the muddy swamp. I can feel myself getting out of the car and having trouble breathing through the piles of mud. I started thinking I should try to wake myself up now. But I manage to get all the rocks and mud off of me before drowning.

      Another car had lost control and landed in to the swamp as well. He however was too far in the swam to even get out of it. I decided to leave and run up the road, however the road seem to have been slice off making me drop down. I landed on some grassy rocks and continue to walk from there.

      That is when I saw this very odd building. There was this voice in my head telling me that I had to go up there. I decided to listen and went up there. There was this weird creature that told me if I am ready for the next challenge. I didn't give an answer and woke up.
    13. Could we say... love brings lucidity? Kinda?

      by , 12-12-2015 at 10:47 PM (Here be dragons)
      Woke up after last dream at 7 am, went back to sleep.

      I'm in the family house with my mother and sister, there's lot of stuff to do to fix it up. the garden is a mess, and the inside isn't in better shape; there's rumble everywhere and the place is basicaly gutted. However, it's full of light, and all the the french windows are open, letting summer heat come in with the light. I open the front door, and there's a group of people in working clothes, her to help fix the house. One of them is vaguely familiar, but the other are a faceless crown men and women alike. I let them in to the living room, where my mother and sister are waiting. We start giving out taskes and I ended up in the garden with the familiar man. We're moving the outside furniture, sofa and armchairs of forged iron, alongside table and chair mae of the same material. The sofa and armchairs are only frames and relatively light, and the chairs are easy. Then it's the table, and it's the heaviest piece. We westle it to the back of the house, close to the empty pool. On this side of the pools the only windows are those of the bedrooms, and nobody is there for now. The man mopes his brow as I strip off my jacket and drop it on the table. We're resting a little before going back to work.

      Spoiler for There was a reason he was familiar...:


      Suprisingly, I don't wake up; I become lucid instead. I slip off the table and decide to get out of the garden and into the street to clear my head a little. I open the portal and step out. I end up in the street in front of my actual house, and from the corner of my eyes I can see that I'm in front of it. Rather that getting in I turn to the left, to the end of the street. The house next to mine is completly different; now it's a two stories house in white plaster and black logs, with a cute balcony full of bright flowers. The day is ending, and the tiny front garden is full of lights along the gravelled path to the front door. I go in, singing Eli name. He open the door as I reach it and pick me up into a hug. I wrap my arms around his neck and bury my face against him. The house is full of golden light and fairy lights suspended off the ceiling, and the living room ceiling is all the way up to the roof.

      MILD

      I had my phone in my hand watching a video of a Buddhist meditator within a cemetery. The setting was very scary and spooky as he was chatting a particular prayer. Then he went on explaining how we have to rely on enlightened beings in order to avoid unpleasant circumstances.

    15. #179 - Trainer / Starry sky / Hiking in the bush

      by , 12-12-2015 at 10:01 PM (The Oneironaut's Odyssey)
      SC1) 02:12
      Dream fragment - I remember having some images flash through my mind but I couldn't tell what they were properly.. Maybe something about being in the woods, perhaps a pine forest?

      SC2) 04:14
      Dream 1 - Trainer
      I'm in a barren place which is somewhat dark due to the heavily overcast sky. In the distance there is a person who is my trainer or friend and I can zoom in and out of him. I zoom in and adjust my workout routine then zoom back out. I think something happens and I need to adjust it again so I zoom back in and out. I know I'm dreaming as I'm doing all this and I feel like it's an nREM dream.

      Dream experience: 0 (pretty lame)
      Dream awareness: 3 (even lower than the second dream but still lucid)

      SC3) 05:18
      Dream 2 - Starry sky
      I was in a dark and barren place at night again, I think somewhere nearby there was a lone petrol station by a road. It was like I was in the desert or something. I become lucid and realize that there's no way to control this dream so I decided to try and enjoy what was already happening. I look up into the sky and see a beautiful starry sky behind clouds of violet and orange, as if the clouds themselves were ascending to become nebulas in our solar system. I felt my body just start fling around backwards and all over the place while I was looking up, the world was spinning around me. I could feel the wind on my body as this was happening, and I noticed my vision grow dim and the sky seemed to fade away. I then focused on the wind tingling against my body, it was so sharp and vivid that when I focused on it I felt like my body had an immediate sense of excitement shivering all through it. This was the last thing I felt as I woke up straight after.

      Dream experience: 5 (the sensations and sights were really quite powerful but it was still too short and no control)
      Dream awareness: 3 (low level lucidity)

      SC5) 07:35
      Dream 3 - Hiking in the bush
      I remember hiking uphill with some people. The route we were taking was off the trail and we somehow knew roughly where we were supposedly heading. I remember reaching our destination and we went around it and up the side to the top of a hill. On this hill I think we felt like we had no way of getting back home. After we sit around on the hill for a while I announced that I was going to head back and find a way home, my memory is pretty good so I roughly remember the route we took. I didn't expect anyone to come, and surprisingly some people actually stood up and decided to follow me. I felt a little touched by this . I walk down the hill with the others following me and look across to the forests' edge which we had emerged from. I saw the stony area which we had traversed to get here and told everyone that's where we came from. I then saw a pathway, hmm strange? We could probably take this trail back? I look around for a sign to get an idea for where it heads and see one off to my right. I can't really remember what it said though.. One of the girls following was a bit of an airhead, and didn't like that I was leading the way. She said that we should go around the hill and proceeded to prance off in that direction. Oh my god >_< that's the way we took to get on top of the hill you idiot . This annoys me a bit since she seemed to have forgotten that fact :/ I think I wake up after that though.

      Dream experience: 3 (not very vivid or interesting)
      Dream awareness: 1 (not very aware)

      I also had another dream which I recall was really sexual but I can't remember anything about it
