    Lucid Dreams

    1. Lucid last night...albeit only for a short time

      by , 10-24-2015 at 11:06 AM
      It was a short lucid event...as mine tend to be...but encouraging nevertheless (and anticipated). Yesterday, for the first time during the day, I managed to jerk out of my daytime “dream” on about 10 occasions (the “dream” that isn't “awareness”) I usually get so caught up in daytime living that I only manage a few.

      I only practiced the awareness for a few minutes each time...looking around, thinking “this is a dream,” noting body sensations (particularly the feet) but the real breakthrough was the fact that the “trigger” occurred much more frequently. Maybe reading about the brain is helping...”use it or lose it” as the book says and I'm much more aware how neurons, axons and dendrites work and how critical it is to stimulate the brain by repetition.

      I think I really pushed my brain sections when I first learned the dream routines. I remember how tired I often felt, how sometimes I awoke feeling really ill and (what I called) the “flashing” in my eyes. I now know that neurons were being frantically sequestered from other tasks to cope with my new demands. The basics are now firmly implanted so hopefully, when health problems etc are resolved I'll be even more back on track.

      I was dreaming about a town and I had somehow entered a place where I sensed I shouldn't be and I was poking about in some equipment and I broke a piece off. I retreated apparently still clutching a bar of metal and decided to return to the (hall?) and replace it but I couldn't find the place again. That's a major DS for me and might have started the LD process. The dream was more vivid than usual and I remember tossing the metal into a nearby bush then thinking “I'm dreaming!”

      By now, I can keep the excitement at a reasonable level and I resolved to look around and not dash off (another first really). Then I thought “RC” (good) and decided to levitate. I had resolved to try 2 or 3 RC's and maybe suddenly change the order (further validating the lucidity) but I'm happy that I full-filled most of my training.

      I rose cautiously but started to go out of control a bit so I abandoned that and focussed on a nearby pub. It was beautifully clad in small bright green tiles and all there was a small war memorial alongside it. Then I felt the dream ending. Damn!

      I have same old 2 problems...the shortness of my LD's and the fact that they are generally at the top of the night (usually after at least 7 hours sleep + a WBTB). I assumed it was lack of melatonin but I now have 1.9mg tablets which I've occasionally taken at various times throughout the night with no effect so far. I'm going to try 2 tabs one night (although the Spanish chemist was apparently shocked when asked for 4mg tabs and, knowing how even Spanish painkillers are at higher strengths than allowed in the UK, I'm understandably cautious)

      Hopefully, the “awareness” trigger is here to stay and I can further extend the periods of awareness. So...a good result for me and maybe a sign of more to come

      P.S. I had a “romantic” dream 2 nights ago...not sex...but hey! that's over-rated (I can afford to say that at my age) But, I'd rather have a romance with a good plot than a quick “wham bam thank you DC” but can I have it lucid next time?

    3. The Void/TheBlackness (or a black cat?) [lUCID]

      by , 10-24-2015 at 06:42 AM
      Another lucid last night. Went in and out of full and semi lucidity, but maintained a thread of awareness throughout.

      I became lucid while looking in a mirror in a hallway. That is a common thing for me. Mirrors always induce lucidity. They're one of the absolutely fool-proof things for me. The mirror turned out to be in the hallway of one of my home bases, so I started off with the advantage that I was already at least partially anchored. I don't really remember, I think the mirror was near the door to the outside, because I believe that's the door that I opened later on. I should have paid more attention.

      Anyway, I immediately tested my suspicion that I was dreaming by attempting to push my arm through the surface of the mirror. There was slight resistance on the surface, and then my arm sank in. The mirror looked like quicksilver as I pushed my arm through it.

      Satisfied with the knowledge that I was dreaming, I spent a while playing with my appearance and examining myself in the mirror. I eventually managed to turn myself into more of a caricature of myself than my actual appearance, which I found very entertaining. While I was playing around with my eyes - moving them around, changing the size and shape, etc - I could hear my brother's voice narrating in the background that he at least liked this current character design better than the last (implying that he really didn't like either). I waved it off and kept playing around.

      I was really satisfied by my handiwork because I had trouble with this before. I then spent a little bit more time dressing myself up as a sort of elven-looking sorcerer. Just as fun as cosplay, and several hundred dollars cheaper!

      After spending some time tweaking my heroic cloak/cape thing (I settled on something asymmetrical and held up on one side by a nice brooch that I own in real life), I decided to meet up with some friends at a tavern.

      I opened the door to go outside, and The Blackness happened. Some people call it The Void. Instead of the outdoors or the tavern that I wanted, everything beyond the door was pitch black. I stepped through the door into The Blackness, hoping it would dissipate. Instead, it enveloped me, and everything went dark. I tried vividly imagining my hands and moving them around in front of me. I briefly saw them appear before they faded back into the darkness. Waving them around some more didn't make them reappear.

      I decided to try something I have never tried before. Instead of trying to make it go away, I would condense The Darkness into a form where it could no longer impede me.

      I held out my hands and tried drawing it into a form in my hands. It didn't work, possibly because I was unable to see my hands.

      I then put my hands behind my back and focused on trying to summon it that way. I felt fur and a small warm body. The Darkness disappeared as it was channeled into the form of a cat.

      I brought the cat around to the front. It was skinny, with soft shiny black fur and gold eyes. I petted it and set it on the ground, and it ran off.

      Now I could see, through the open door, not blackness but the brightly lit inside of the tavern. It had polished wooden floors and brightly burning candles and torches.

      I rushed to the booth everybody was sitting in and scooted in. The booths were tall, made of dark stained wood, and seats were made of leather. While we were waiting for our server, I lost the thread of lucidity and the dream faded.

      I don't really remember the rest of what I dreamed about that night.

      ____

      I'm pleased that I finally solved a long-standing problem and completed a successful completely-controlled scene change. I've felt so stupid about struggling with these basic things after even several years and the ability to WILD with regular success. I'm looking forward to honing my skills further, as this has been a serious road-block for me.

      One thing I can say is that my ability to maintain dream stability and my thread of awareness has gotten SIGNIFICANTLY better.
    4. 10/19/15: First Lucid Experience with Stabilization Ever! (Lucid)

      by , 10-23-2015 at 11:14 PM
      Notes:
      - Is it normal to feel skeptical of a lucid dream after you’ve had it? The past couple of times I’ve wondered.
      - Is it normal to feel less “awake” once you’ve stabilized a dream? I certainly felt that way this time.

      [Fragments, fragnments]

      [Change setting; plot 1 begins]:
      I’m in this rather huge house (40+ rooms I’d say) and there’s this gala/party going on in the main living space. I’m just wandering around as the dreaming mind does, lookin through all the foodstuffs. I find myself in a supply closet nearby, with microwaves and stuff. Then, I remember that I wanted to try and have a lucid dream.

      At this moment, I became aware. I was thinking “OH CRAP HOLY CRAP I’M LUCID IM LUCID YAYYYY” but then I realized that I needed to stabilize, so I just tried focusing on the microwave in front of me, taking in every detail. That really helped a lot.

      It came to my mind to use dream control, and I tried spawning someone but I couldn’t do it without starting to wake up. Instead, I decided I’d try to explore the dream world a bit, focusing on everything on the way, since I’m still a newb.

      And so I walked into the living/kitchen area. I looked at everything closely: the countertop, the donuts, the snack stand, everything. The donut was especially vivid; I could see all the little bubbles in it and everything. For some reason, there was a bite out of it, and someone had put it back… eww… it was still on the stand (a metal, rotating stand) for anyone to take. I noticed after I woke up that there weren’t any visible DC’s in the dream.

      I wander over to this hallway and realize I’m losing lucidity, and immediately start focusing on things to retain it. There’s an elevator, and I decide to take it (I didn't actually touch it or physically go in it though).

      [Change setting]:
      I’m in my high school chemistry teacher’s room (or at least a permutation of it). I’m in there at my own lab bench, and behind me are two other kids, one of whom I know. Obviously, they’re in detention or something and aren’t taking it seriously. I, on the other hand, was trying to figure a way out of there to continue my lucid adventure, but here I would be trapped for the rest of the dream.
      So these kids are just kinda messing around with some water in a dish, and I’m getting impatient. From here on, i think I lost lucidity. My teacher was talking about his lifetime goals, one of which was to get $9000 in a day. <- (I think he mentioned it as his “task of the month” )
      The kids were messing around, and I wanted them to pay attention, so I figured I’d shut them up by knocking over their stupid dish into the sink. I do so, then my teacher yells at me, saying "What? You think that's ok? Really? In front of me? What do you think you're doing?" and it was rather laughable really.

    5. A kissing melody

      by , 10-23-2015 at 09:07 PM
      🌠 A Dild runs in to 3 Deild's 🌈

      Spend time today really giving time to my Mild daytime work - regularly stopping and RRC and then RC & looking for a few things to focus on in the space around me to hone in on and see what my space would look like as a dream -

      Got my flash visualisation of me riding a giant wave as a water bender going through a tunnel and out the other side inorder to be at the very top of the wave and STOP and look and take in my surroundings- awesomeness 🌊

      Any way did some Mild befor bed too- 10 mins and went to sleep with Mantra
      " I am Lucid now - I am Lucid dreaming "

      Woke up a few times in the night and set my app for monitoring sleep too - which woke me up Wonderfully and as I hit the snooze button gave me such joy to listen to the relaxing music -

      DILD 🌸

      Talking to someone- I was suddenly thinking " Hey I was in bed just a little time ago...but this couldn't be .... NO Wow- is this a dream?"
      I walked towards a table and reached out to touch something on it almost scared as this was obviously WL- but wow I couldn't believe it - THIS IS A DREAM!
      I was the most shocked and stoked ever that it was a dream coz it felt so much like my usual WL reality...

      Lay still and went back to the dream space - kissing out of the corner of my eye I saw my dad walked by it doesn't matter as I am dreaming

      Lay still and Kissing again 🌸 Z kissed me and said " Hallelujah " then we laughed!

      Lay still and ina dream where a white bug thing is trying to get in to our room - its a dream so I am gonna go fly outside - I go and jump into the sky superwoman style 🌺 I pick a point on the horizon to fly to - I fly towards it but the place seems to keep morphing into different places - like first it's a beautiful grassy place then it's a lake then it's some other place - darkness starts to surround it and in my vision the place becomes a small circle with all black around it - oh well - not this time - it seems I witnessed some kind of implosion. Something to work in seeing through on my next

    6. Failed Summoning [LD]

      by , 10-23-2015 at 11:23 AM (Collapse)
      [FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=#0000cd][SIZE=4][CENTER]Failed Summoning[/CENTER]
      [/SIZE][/COLOR][SIZE=4][CENTER][/CENTER]
      [/SIZE][B][CENTER][/CENTER]
      [/B]
      I find myself in my house, and a sudden impulse to RC kicks in. I count my fingers. [COLOR=#0000cd]"This is a dream, isn't it?" I said to myself.[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] I moved on into the act of stabilizing and the stuff along.. I focused on my vision and it got close to my RL vision. Sound and touch were present and unusually vivid, but i don't remember actually focusing on them a lot. After this, i tried to regain my memory by remembering where i'm and what i'm doing. "I'm in bed dreaming and this is my dream" Is all i recovered before stopping the memory recovery process.

      That's all i did to make the dream somewhat stable, but there was something missing and i'm not sure what. Maybe it's because i was very worried during the dream that it would be short, that's probably it. There were sudden moments in the dream in which i found myself back in bed (probably FA). But they lasted a few seconds then i found myself back where i was. Weird thing to be honest. Whatever the case was, the dream was enjoyable because i was somewhat immersed with my environment.. Something that i lacked all these times i got lucid.

      Moving on into the main things i did in the dream. I didn't try to meet my DG or fly, because to me this was a test of stability and control and that this LD came out of nowhere. I tried to summon my thought-up magical weapon that would cut through anything. And i had thought of a way to summon it but the process is very hard if control is not fully present. I guess the difficulty came from my slightly-lacking memory. Whatever, i remember being in front of the
      double doors that lead to the guest halls, where i was standing, i would be able to see the door of my house and slightly see the street.

      I proceeded into the summoning process.

      The flashy method of summoning i had in mind:
      I close my right hand and leave my left hand open. I would then create friction by moving my left hand accross my right fist. Which would make my fist be set on painless-fire. This fire would then create smoke, the smoke would stay still in mid-air. Essentially acting as a portal to "the dark dimension" that i can pull items from.

      Of course, what i got was nothing like what i imagined. First i did the act of moving my left hand over the closed fist of my right hand violently enough to generate friction. I got fire, but it was very weak. And if that wasn't enough, there was no smoke to use as a portal. I guess the process failed. I resorted to another process of making the item appear from thin air by quickly waving my hand accross the air. This one was a failure, as that i got a knife version of the supposed long-sword i wanted. I let the knife vanish and went on with the dream.

      I entered through the doors that were to my back this whole time. Inside, there was a door nearby so i realized that i could put my hand inside without looking, and then obtain the weapon! Unfortunately enough, i don't remember what happened after this - I either woke up or lost lucidity. I put my hand inside and was able to grab a large object that felt like a sword, but i remember enough that it wasn't the thing i was looking for.[/COLOR][COLOR=#B22222]

      a dream i had i few years ago, a very memorable one with an high control level!

      12/13/2010


      Daytime, i'm in an imaginary town and I spot something covered by the roofs of buildings, a glow emanating a white-red-blue flare...a sort of colored cloud moving...can't see it clearly so I jump getting a good height to see better and I remain in the air; I observe again and I see something similar to a rotating galaxy, composed by clouds in a spiral shape and some bright spheres of red and blue light that follow the slow circular motion of that galaxy-cloud. I extend my arm towards the galaxy, and I can catch it even if it's many light-years far; it's like touching vapor, the more I hold it in my hand, the more consistency it takes, almost like cotton; I throw it in front of me, like i'm launching a frisbee and while it's spinning I make it change its shape with my mind, I subdivide the colors so I create a circle sheet of paper composed of colored patches, same shades of the galaxy: red, white and blue. At this point I remember that in my next lucid dream i'd have shouted so I do it: “ lucid dreeeeeam! “. Then I keep having fun: I take the sheet of paper and I decide I can change everything like I want pointing it in any direction! The town is crowded, but I don't see anyone interesting...so I get an idea: i'm really attracted by asian girls (chinese, japanese, thai, vietnamese..) i've always had a thing for them! I aim the paper at the people to transform them in asian girls, and in a few seconds all the streets are full of pretty almond-eyed girls! I enjoy the view! I notice a beautiful one, I fly towards her and I land close to her, she smiles at me and we walk together while the other girls are slowly vanishing. At this point i'm more than satisfied; some caress and kisses with her and little by little I let myself go loosing lucidity...i continue the dream going around with the girl, we see other people again...then I found myself in a different place, a house where i'm talking about nothing in particular with some relatives and friends...then I wake up.


      first scene, where i extend my arm to catch the galaxy-cloud


      last scene, where i've transformed all the people in asian girls

    8. Non-detailed Dream Week

      by , 10-22-2015 at 10:34 PM (Dimension X)
      I've had a bunch of dreams every night for the past week, although I haven't written them down because either there's been too many to keep track of, or they're not detailed enough to get their own entry.

      But in each of them, I've been on the verge of lucidity. I think I was 50% lucid for a recent one, and I actually had a surprising amount of indirect control over everything.

      I am making progress, just not writing down anything unless it's worthwhile.

    9. Zombie Like Dream/Letter

      by , 10-21-2015 at 11:32 PM
      I was inside what was suppose to be a Game facility like Nintendo. I had my art diagram displayed but was still trying to make it better so i removed some colored paper wondering if it was too blank.My mom came up to me saying i did a good job but i felt like i did a "whatever here it is" job on it.

      Than a old college teacher reeled in a huge pen tablet in a clear case near me. Shouting that the contest was about to start. I saw another guy with tattoos come to be the host too. I watched as the place transformed into a small square shaped room where I and guys around my age were. The host took out a new video game control and flaunted it to them.

      They cheered as I was looking at the huge pen. "Someone can kill someone with that huge pen" I thought.The host than brought out a spray that was said to be a video game control that allowed everyone to be creative. I got up than walked out as he showed it than went back in. He was spraying guys in the face than laughed in an evil manner.

      Most of them fainted but one. He was asking for the reason why all of this was happening. The bad host said it didn't matter because soon everyone would be brain washed and acting like zombies when touched.I flew away hoping to fight this army zombie and dodged a few girls that were infected. Than went into the bathroom."If your going to save the world you might as well use the bathroom at first. Ill be one step ahead since they dont say this in the movies" I thought.

      I flew to a stall to use but than zombie like girls started coming in. I flew away from them thinking how we would be in trouble if this wasn't a game setup by the game company just for live television or contest. A familiar girl from high school tried touching me I pushed her a little thinking about how I probably lost the game but would pretend it didnt happen.

      Than Kirby game characters started appearing and a group of people including I were shown to a place with theater/assembly chairs. Someone was making an announcement than the scene changed. I was in a forest/town place watching supernatural beings gather around.Everyone was in a anime form and I was a sort of loyal guardian neko type of creature standing next to a princess in a kimono like dress. In front of me was a anime guy with a prince like kimono and elf ears. He was standing next to his own followers.

      "Alright, now that everyone's here lets get this fight started" he said something like that than was making a small speech of the evil things he would do. Than he mentioned something that made me feel nervous."The one to your side is just pretending to be your loyal servant. Now come to me!"I looked at the princess than at the guy."Did I really fall in love with this guy and betray the princess"I started thinking.But it came to me that thats not my type of character and that i could have some fun with this dream scenario.


      "Well?"asked the guy."Is this true?"asked the princess. The guy wanted me to fight on his side but I said no. That I would only fight for the princess. This made him very mad."Fine!Than I will fight you and make you wish that you were on my side" He said taking out a sword."you must fight and win"said the princess.

      I took out my own sword and warped to him swinging the sword after he made his first move. I didn't feel like it at first but than it was whatever. We fought for a bit until our swords began morphing and became defective. The guy kept swinging at me though. I moved to the side of a stairs and he wasn't looking so he hit his head on a wall."are you okay?"I asked as he swung around his floppy sword."ow....I'm fine"he said than touched me with his defective weapon saying he won
      I shrugged than the setting started morphing more and I woke up.


      Letter

      Had the usual weird non lucid dream than had a false awakening where i sat up and a letter popped up into my hand. A voice appeared too speaking in what seemed like broken English. It was a helpful message that I wanted but was also somewhat disappointing. Last thing I recall it saying was something like "Translation may have been lost after receiving".

    10. LUCID URTH Dream: An Orc's Tale part 2

      by , 10-21-2015 at 05:52 PM (The Nomad Chronicles)
      The days went by as I nursed Snowmaiden back to health. I told her my name is Snakefist. We call each other Snow and Snake for short. She is able to walk and move about, and is recovering well. She seems unconcerned about Stonefist's inevitable arrival. She is sitting by the river on the bank, watching the fish swim.
      "He is coming. He is an excellent tracker. He will be alone, armed with a great stone hammer, and a sling."
      "I will kill him," I say simply.
      "Good," she responds.
      A bird alights on my shoulder and whispers in my ear.
      "He approaches on the gnolls," I tell Snow.
      "Aye, mine chieftain, I will join you, for I must have my revenge."
      I mount my horse, and my hawk, Sunfire, rides on my shoulder. Snow rides in front of me. She feels so familiar to me somehow. I feel a strong sense of deja vu.
      I see a large lone orc wielding a stone hammer coming over the hills. At sight of Snow riding with me, he roars in rage, and challenges me to dismount. I do, and simply wait for his charge. Snow somehow disappears, but I am too focused on my enemy to notice.
      As he approaches, he screams, "You have stolen my slave!" Right before he gets within striking distance, I morph into a great ox. He tried to backpedal, but it's too late, and his momentum carries him into my waiting horns. I toss him high overhead, and he lands behind with a loud thud.
      As he stands, I can tell his ankle is broken. I morph into a giant cave bear, and charge him. He readies his hammer, but is attacked by my hawk, Sunfire, who divebombs him, and yanks his head back by the hair. He tries to hit my friend with his weapon, but instead hammers himself in the head leaving himself dazed. I laugh at this as I charge. Suddenly a shadow drops from a lone tree behind him, and a blade flashes in the sun. The blade quickly decapitates Stonefist, and I charge into a headless body.

      "I didn't know you are a Ninja."

      "I didn't know you are a Shaman."

      "Why couldn't you kill him earlier?"

      "I had been starved by my father for refusing to eat the cubes. So, I was already very weak when I was sold on the stock market. Never a slave again."

      I nod. I summon scavenger beasts to eat the carcass, then we mount my horse and ride back to my cabin. We wash after the battle, and sit on my wooden and hay cushion couch in front of my fireplace.

      We drink some mead, and smoke some green herb. "Thank you, Snake. You saved my life."
      I turn to her.

      [ATTACH=CONFIG]8828[/ATTACH]

      "You will be my mate forever. Our love is strong." I look into her eyes, and kiss her. We consummate our savage orc love in my cabin under a full moon. I sleep a deep sleep, and dream of a strange life where I am a human in a world with no orcs and no magic. How strange. I awake to a strange scraping sound on the outside of my cabin. I grab my stone dagger, and move toward my door. I peer outside, and see it's a large buck scraping his antlers on my cabin.
      "Oakleaf!" I recognize my old friend, and call him by name. He walks to me, and licks my face. Snow walks sleepily out, and is amused by our interaction. Oakleaf looks toward the woods, and a lovely doe and fawn appear. I tell Snow to fetch some seeds and grains I have for feed for many animals, and we feed them out of our hands. Oakleaf is an amazing huge deer, large enough for a full grown orc to ride.
      Oakleaf, and his mate, Willow, kneel down and beckon us to mount them. We do, and let them lead. We ride with their little fawn to a high hill and watch the sun rise. Life is grand.
      "I have never met an orc like you, my love," Snow whispers.
      "Nor I you, Snow."
      "Are there others like us?"
      "Maybe."

    11. Football, toking lucid, cuz

      by , 10-21-2015 at 01:43 PM
      I was at workouts sitting down with the team in lines when a medicine ball was thrown in my direction so I tried to catch it but I missed and ended up having to do an exercise where I had my feet elevated and the ball in my hands with my butt on a box. I also had a dream that I was driving the van and I was going to turn down an ally but had to take the next turn because I couldn't see around the corner.

      Fragment: I was hanging out with some homies and we were all toking, we left the place we had done the deed and were now just walking along a path in the grass up a slope. I started to kick myself for having done the deed and I was thinking that sometimes its just a dream and I shouldn't freak out, then I realized that I was in fact dreaming and I started to attempt stabilization (I had really felt buzzed from the toking and it felt real like I had done it, it was when I reminded myself that I had cheated my bodies reward system did I realize it was a dream, it was a clear moment - I saw what the action was clearly and that moment of clarity spontaneously let awareness of the dream come about. thanks meditation Anyway because I had just fallen asleep and this dream was more or lass fragmented imagery I had trouble staying in one spot. I started yelling for the dream to be more stable and started rubbing my hands together but while everything felt and was very vivid it did not keep me in the dream and I woke up.

      I shortly fell back asleep to a dream with my cousin and he left out the back door, I dont know why. I have been thinking about him a lot because I haven't seen him forever and he just missed my sisters wedding.

    12. Detective Tiger [lucid]

      I've had a lot of lucids, semi-lucids, etc. lately, and I'm so bad at recording them. I even forget some of them. When I first started practicing, I would have said that's crazy talk, but it's like remembering stuff from your day to day life. After you live enough days, the details of what happened during each one get hazy.

      I'll record the one from last night, though.

      In this particular one, I realized I was dreaming while I was waiting for a train on an elevated train platform that doesn't exist along that particular rail line.

      It was dark and stormy at the time, just generally nasty weather, and it was extremely late (like 4 a.m. late/early) and I was thinking about how tired I was going to be... then I realized that this train platform doesn't exist, and I don't work at the job I was thinking about any more.

      The weather immediately switched to daylight/dusk. I hopped off of the platform into the air and flew along the train tracks, exploring this new and different rail line. I ran my hands along the metal, along the weeds as I skimmed the ground, focused on the feeling of wind, so I could maintain my thread of awareness.

      I flew down into a neighborhood I wanted to explore and found some apartments where there would normally be a metalworking shop. I decided to explore the inside. Inside of the apartment, the walls were sort of orange... everything was decorated like a grandmother might decorate. Sitting at the kitchen table sipping a cup of tea was a bipedal talking white tiger in a grey-brown trench coat and fedora. He was extremely tall, and he carried himself and spoke with a great deal of dignity.

      I decided to see where this was going and told the "detective" that I needed help finding my missing cousin. He was reluctant at first and basically said that he wasn't interested in helping. I was trying to talk him into helping me when my alarm clock went off.


      I'll probably run into Mr. Tiger Detective again at some point. Some characters pop up more than once, and he seems like one who will.

    13. Not The Enemy

      by , 10-20-2015 at 05:01 PM
      It was day outside and I was on my bed talking to a small monster like creature. As I kept talking I became more aware that this was a dream by questioning the situation.The monster like creature grabbed me and started squeezing my stomach. It hurt quite a bit at first so I directed my attention to the other hand the creature had that wasn't squeezing me. The pain stood for a bit than slowly died out."Awww" said the yellow monster knowing that he lost the wrestle.

      But than it decided to take my pants off. I didn't really care that he took it away though."Do whatever you want" I told it.It than grabbed me and started flying me somewhere. "So this is where the dream takes me...."I thought feeling somewhat disappointed. "Is this really the dc that I end up interacting with?..." Than we ended up in a building with dark blue flooring and blue walls. The place wasn't well lit and kind of dark.Suddenly something blasted at us. The monster dropped me and tried to escape.

      I ran and ended up shutting myself in a room. Someone knocked on the door as I sat close to the bed. I thought about how I hated being alone and how I don't know what my brain will end up making me see if i opened the door. The door was knocked again. I could see the bottom of the door somewhat open allowing me to see heavy black boots. "Dawn!" I called feeling somewhat insecure. But than I started walking to the door ready to open it."Forget this! Whatever shows up I'll be okay with it." It knocked again. I kept my eyes on the floor so I could see the legs instead of the face of whatever dc i might encounter.

      Opened the door slowly and don't remember seeing anything. Than there was another blast and a not very visible person ended up grabbing me and running around the building with me. We were being shot at by alien like creatures." Is this Dawn protecting me?" I thought. I remember thinking about how I was going to fight him and felt kind of disappointed in myself. Than the alien shooting at us came closer an blasted a ray or something like that at us. The guy holding me dropped onto the floor with me under a round table. Seemed like we were inside a blue/white decorated kitchen room.

      I put a clear barrier around us as the alien made his blast bigger and stronger.Than when it stopped I stopped and felt a burst of wind being thrown at us. The guy brought out his own barrier than shouted"Bring out your pink barrier!". I put my hand over us and brought it out. It was pink but kind of small. The barrier seemed more clear than pink. He said I did a good job though. Back up came and ended up firing at the alien. Knowing that we were safe I decided to observe the texture I felt from his clothes. Also, I honestly don't remember how this happened but i ended up on top of the poor guy hugging him.

      "You can get up now" He told me since the alien was gone. I noticed he felt somewhat big. Not fat but maybe a little more than average. I didn't get off him though I just kissed him and he kissed me back but when i wanted to do a different form of kiss he started blowing air at me. "Wait a minute. Is he blowing air at me?" I thought than stopped and got up feeling kind of bad that I did that to him after he protected me. He got up as well than started walking somewhere. I held onto his arm as he was walking out the room and through the hall."Sorry about how I thought you were my enemy at first" I told him. He said nothing back to me and kept walking.

      "Hes not saying anything...I wonder where hes going?". I let go of him thinking to give him space than he walked into a small open room where there was a guy and a girl looking at a computer screen. " I finished what I had to do" he said to one of them."Good" said the girl than she pointed out something on the computer. "Dang it...I dont know how long i have left and we end up here?" I thought.
      Than i woke up.

    14. a lucid sky with a swim

      by , 10-20-2015 at 04:54 AM (levi's lucid dream journal)
      The first part was vivid then I got semi lucid. When I went out side the next day the weather did the same as it did in my dreams. but it did get to a drizzle but when I went out for a longer times. It would stop raining. I did use a bit of my will too to help the sun brake through by doing motions and sounds at the sky. After a few minutes Isaw result
      As for the rain I think something greater then me was watching over me.

      I think I was in like a grand hotel or somthing. I was with a group of people but I don't remember what happened with them. I only remember bits and pieces. It could have been and apartments. I explored the halls. Some of the sections were closed of because of a fire. A whole floor was closed and you couldn't even walk on it felt like I would fall through it and caution tape on the stairs and the hall but not at the enrtrence. I don't remember much after that.


      Until I knew I was checking out the sky and flying around. It was mostly cloudy but the sun was peaking through the cloudes and it was not raining. At the end of the dream I started swimming laps in a pool. But I was naked. The pool has gold checkerd patterns along the top inside of the pool. It had a covered area, With pillars holding it up. You could see out side. There were people around. I think I figured it was a dream after that cuz I didn't care I was exposed.

    15. #133 - Daydream lucid / Mall and ice cream

      by , 10-20-2015 at 12:56 AM (The Oneironaut's Odyssey)
      Non-dream
      Non-lucid
      Lucid

      Dream 1 - Daydream Lucid
      This was weird for me as I don't think it's happened before. Because it takes so long for me to fall asleep (~2hrs) I tend to let my mind just create random scenarios or sometimes just actively engage in them and play out some story to kill time. Last night I must have woken up around 3ish, I let couldn't be bothered getting up and trying a SSILD. Instead, I just lay there and headed back to sleep . I just remember at some point this 'daydream' become vivid, super realistic, I could feel everything. I realized that I had just somehow slipped into a lucid dream. I was running towards school (the buildings weren't anything I recognize, though it had a similar feel to the running tracks by the gym at my uni). It was some sports day, the sun was out and it was quite nice. I head to the sports area, on my way I kind of test out the feel of the dream. I bend over backwards and stretch a bit, then lean forward and look at the ground and stand back up normally. I can really feel stable this dream is. There's also some kind of reason in my head... Like "you have to follow the dream story because it's important". I can't recall the exact reason why, it was probably intentionally vague. There's actually a running track here. It's red and laned as a circuit with a green field in the middle. I approach a girl who seems to be about my age, she's in charge of organising I think. I'm really suave in this dream, everything that comes out of my mouth is just confident. I'm still lucid but there's just no dream control, I'm completely at he whim of the dream story it seems. I end up playing a soccer game, but I have some kind of 'hidden strength'. I guess my ass handed to me in the first 30 seconds of the game though. I decide to go all-out and show them my true power O_O but I seem to wake up before it happens.

      Dream 2 - Mall and Ice Cream
      I'm not sure if this was another dream or not but it occurred before arriving at the mall. I remember doing a bunch of field trips with a class. I'm mapping the area for a geology field map it seems. I also talk online to some people (facebook maybe?), there's a focus on dating relationships between the people I'm talking to. Some kind of discussion about my friend Daniel and his current girlfriend possibly. Me, my dad, Daniel and maybe some other people were all at my house. The place kind of looked a bit fancy, but resembled a holiday home by the beach if anything. Daniel left because I think he got offended (possibly from the discussion about his gf). He was meant to submit some kind of report to my dad and called him up later, I think I was a little annoyed that he didn't call me but I understood since it was business. I head out now, my dad calls me and asks me about an area on the map I submitted it seems. He's grinding my gears by asking, the geology in the area wasn't properly mapped because we were told not to by the field trip managers. I tell him the exact layout of the geology in the area in a frustrated tone (it honestly feels like I'm zooming in and out of the area or flying around it as I explain it). The area was a bit like an open quarry that had just piled a bunch of dirt into a small mound in the centre. You had to go by a man-made dirt road to get to the top. *end of this scene*
      Now starts the next part that I think was in the same dream cycle. I'm in the mall with my gf although she seems to be a background character who I don't really interact with. I part ways with her and head downstairs to look around by myself. In the middle of the mall is some kind of ice cream event. There's people making super-professional looking desserts. Oh god it looks sooo good! I approach one of the ladies and suddenly I'm a real suave dude again . I tell her that her desserts look incredible, she blushes and thanks me and starts making me a dessert in front of me. So much skill! I spot another professional to the left behind her at another stand. There seem to be a bunch of them competing. The professional I'm looking at is making incredibly intricate works of humanoid things, like santa elves or something. They're chocolate and on a stick but it looks so incredible I start to want it even more. The lady in front of me (I think she's blonde) finishes up the dessert and puts it in front of me on a small glass bowl. Wow . She asks if I would like ice cream with it, "yes please" I respond. She charges me for it so I get out my credit card, I look at the cost and I'm stunned "$20?! Damn that's pretty expensive"..
      "Can you wait a moment while I transfer some moment?" I fumble around in my wallet to put the card back in, I'll have to use my phone and log onto the bank. I look back at the eftpos machine and someone else has put their credit card in and paid. "W--what?" I look to my right and see a girl with a big smile, it's Jasmine. A girl who was friends with my ex gf. I bump my hip against her playfully and say "Hey you shouldn't have done that, you've got to let me pay you back now". She says it's okay, I take my dessert and we head off together and talk. At some point Jasmin my ex gf (they share the same name with different spelling) shows up and is walking with us but she seems to be a background character that I don't interact with. We part ways at some point and I meet with my girlfriend again. We're a few levels lower in the mall now and decide to head up the escalator. On the way up I spot another ex gf (wow so weird), I'm surprised to see her. We became pretty good friends in the end so it was nice to see her. She looks way different though, wearing thick-rimmed hipster glasses and her hair in a ponytail. I talk to her for a bit while my gf goes ahead without me. My ex then makes an excuse to leave which I find pretty amusing for some reason, we part ways and I meet up with my gf again.
