lucid

So I don't know if this would be considered lucid or more like partial lucid, but I had a dream last night that felt so real. I was somehow in possession of a red Ferrari sports car. This isn't the first time I have had a dream specifically about a red Ferrari. It has been 7-10 years since I last had a Ferrari dream. The dreams are always pretty much the same. Super happy that I have a Ferrari, although I have no clue it's a dream. I just do alot of driving, and for some reason this time around I thought it would be a good idea to loan the car to a friend of a friend (I know, its weird), and then somehow the car was lost and I went on a frantic search for the elusive crimson machine. I never found it, and then woke up. Last nights dream was the first time that I ever let anybody else drive the car. It's kinda humorous to me that it's always a Ferrari, and never any other type of super car.

Niki Lauda would be proud!

The strangest. weirdest. dream I've ever had probably.

I remember fragments, and I have to write this down quick because I have to get ready for work, and let's be honest, I probably won't get back to it today.

It's like I won a strange lottery or something... but not until the middle.

First thing I remember is being with a group of people at night in a neighborhood and going into someone's house that I don't know. I don't think it was my neighborhood, and at first I didn't think the owners of the house were at home. It's dark out and inside the house as well. It's a pretty nice house (this is probably because my cousin gave me pictures yesterday of the new house he bought). Then I'm alone and I'm upstairs and I see that the occupants are home. It's an overweight man and his not overweight wife. maybe in their late thirties, early forties. I feel like I have to get out of there before they see me. so I head to the door and meet up with the people who I broke into the house with and we just walk out the front door. there was an elderly lady, though, that we saw before leaving, and she didn't make it seem like we were in any trouble for being there.

Then we're in a van (maybe because we were talking about vans and the Buick Enclave I want while we were at Busch Gardens yesterday) and driving around a "neighborhood" and I use that term loosely because it was more like a backlot tour at a movie set, but it was kind of creepy. it had the feel like we were in a video game, but I didn't know the objective. I can't remember anything more than feeling that it was weird. it's like we were on a tour. it was still dark, but then it's like we were going through different terrains (I've been playing Terraria) and it was turning into a snowy area, the I feel like there was fire, and maybe muddy at some points.

then I remember walking into like maybe a casino or a gigantic arcade. I was in line with people and when it was my turn I asked for this device that you wear around your neck and it clamps down on it on either side and it has speakers in it and it vibrates like a video game controller, but you feel it all throughout your body. When it activated, I could hear someone say something through the speaker and it was like it was in my head, not a peripheral sound from inside the arcade. (I had a little while ago, maybe a month ago, been playing Fallout using headphones.) I enter the arcade and see all these games, tons of them, in rows like at a casino. Then I run into Poussey from Orange is the New Black and she's so excited and she grabs me by the shoulders and says, "it's like we won the lottery!" I can't find any games I want to play, though.

Then I see this lady sitting on the ground or in a beach chair talking to a group of people about selling... cars... electronics... something, and I start talking about how I would sell the shit out of whatever it was we were talking about. I was pretty excited about it, and it seemed like she was, too, like she wanted to hire me.

Then somehow I don't have my shirt on and I walked up to someone that worked at wherever I was at and told them, and she said, oh it's no big deal, show off that six pack! (I do not have a six pack... but I *am* losing some weight!) so I straighten myself up and stand tall and walk around like it's NBD.

Then I'm outside and I'm walking around in the snow and I can see my footprints. At this point I become lucid for a brief moment and think that I can go do whatever I want now because I realize I'm dreaming. but something startles me and I lose it. I haven't been lucid for a very long time. Maybe stressed out at work, I dunno. Then I see my wife go walk off into the bushes with another woman and I feel really upset, like, that's my wife! what are you doing?

then I'm in a group of people and we're walking through what feels like a haunted house, except it's outside and there a guy and a few girls with me. I feel like it's a game and people are watching us (like Cabin in the Woods). Then we get to a swimming pool/lazy river and we all get in. we float over to a section where there's a man asking what we want most. one of the girls says she wants a spoon with caramelized sugar on it and I say I want a "marijuana cigarette" which must have been a big no-no to ask for and the girl and the guy asking the question's eyes got really big ans so I said "haha, I got you, just kidding, I want to do stand-up comedy!" and so then I'm on a big stage and the curtain opens and the song "I don't wanna lose your love tonight" comes on, but I sing the words "I got my first real six string... bought it at the five and dime... I don't know the rest of the words... I just wanna shake my ass for you!!" and then I'm on these gymnastics parallel bars and I do some really sweet routine.

then my alarm went off.

damn. what a night. I need to take a shower.

I was in my house about to do something when all of a sudden a huge machine crashes into it and i hear a lot of screaming. I have a weird feeling that its going to be me next and try to escape. I get knocked out by a group of assassins or military agents and when i wake up i'm sort of beaten up. Eye is dragging me than carrys me into a bathroom than tells me that we don't have time. That I have to escape through the window. I look out the window and he pushes me through even though I say no at first. When i get my head through and im fully out I'm in the narrow fenced place that leads to my backyard. I run and try to fly because i noticed a alien that looked small and green and jello like was trying to come after me. Along with three girls. I spit out mushy green/white stuff from my mouth and hit the alien thing as i'm flying. (Really Random idea)When I get to the front of the house the setting begins to change to dark and things begin to be added.

The girls who wanted to attack me than begin to make jokes about how their going to get me and I punch one in the face. Than I tell her sorry and wipe her bleeding mouth with a napkin. I also tell her I forgot that hitting my dream character is like hitting a part of myself. She forgives me and I notice that Eye is now present with us. He is talking about how cool the setting is becoming. I turn around and notice that there is a dark forest near by and that there is a lady who looks like she is casually dressed.Shes in a white tank top and maybe green/yellowish pants. Anyways shes walking back and forth and i become creep out by her. "Can we go inside?" I ask nervously. Everyone says okay and we run into my house. As were running it begins to change into a school setting and soon were running down the stairs. Eye jumps up and shouts how much fun he is having than continues down the stairs. I try to follow him than notice were now in a huge building that looks formal yet open to the public. Sort of like a bank but not a bank. Maybe office building. Well whatever.

I continued looking around and noticed dream characters going about doing their own stuff. Some are happy while others are serious. As I'm walking and looking around i notice my teeth have stuff stuck to them. "Splinters?" I think to myself as i see a animated gorilla carrying a broken door. "How many times am I suppose to tell you? Your not suppose to eat the door..." He says to me in a British like voice. I say sorry and notice an open door where i can see people outside in a city. I want to go out but don't. I look at the gorilla again and my surrounding than it fades until i wake up.

Asking Dawn About His Name

In this dream I was asking Dawn if he could give me a new name to call him that was better than Dawn. He wrote a few things down trying to think of one. Co...Was a good start for me until he changed his mind and than the dream changed to non lucid a dinosaur game like plot with my family.


Attempt to see Dawn Failed

I was in some sort of arena where people that acted like old time warriors were forcing me, my brother and others to battle. I didn't want to though and ran and jumped over what became a castle like wall. Fell into the ocean and the warrior king/chief tossed fire spears at me, along with his men. I thought about them disappearing and as soon as i sank to the bottom i began swimming and walking and jumping. Trying to get through until i arrived on a island. I got on the sand and ran until i met a little boy and girl. One of them was holding a cracker filled with jelly and gave it to me. I bit it than ran away. The mother came and found out so she called the guards though. I ended up inside a school and ran up. Bumped into a guy who offered to help me but after running around for a while they were caught.

I saw them being taken away and asked one of the guys to help me out in the dream but he said "You want me to help you? I'm about to be executed because you!Thanks a lot!" Than he was walking away with the others that were taken by guards. The place also looked somewhat like an office building now. The way the dream character expressed himself made me feel like I was n't in a dream world like i thought i was in. and that i really got him into trouble. So I decided to just forget about it and fly through the walls and get out myself. I managed to get to a window of the office building but i became stuck halfway. A girl came by and mentioned how she found me. Than a guy came and said he was going to cut my legs off. I felt like a trapped bird and told him to wait before he used the knife. He waited than i looked down and looked back at him. noticing that he had removed part of the window. After that I jumped out the building wanting to fly and had a false awakening where I thought I fell asleep in my bathroom.

Than something else about jewelry i think happened and i woke up for real.

Morning of July 16, 2015. Thursday.



There is a residual sound, somewhat like an echo; a layered but pure vocalization that is somewhat nostalgic and defining; a single note that resounds from nowhere in particular, a group of young females vocalizing once, somewhat like the first vocalized note of David Essex’s “For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her” but with a younger chorus. It “hangs” in the air like a simple single statement on life and time, like a little cloud. It is the moment of my consciousness coming into existence for the first time.

Grandfather Clock on the “Captain Kangaroo” set is tipped over and destroyed by a dog-sized griffin of primarily orange coloring. A clock cannot bleed (even a minimally anthropomorphic clock), but the glass flies into my arms and elbows in the semi-dark “Captain Kangaroo” set; the Treasure House. I pull the glass out nonchalantly perhaps reverting back to age two when wounded near-fatally with large pieces of glass cutting into my left wrist. I do not care that much; I am lucid, though I just watch the mayhem with a slight twitching of my sleep paralyzed legs followed by a wave of bliss, like a “splash” that grows more pleasurable and quickly rises from my toes to my stomach. It is macabre but somehow amusing in its surreality.

The griffin scratches and pecks at what remains of larger glass and wood pieces in Grandfather Clock’s “chest”.

“That’s enough,” I say rather loudly to the griffin, getting tired of pulling glass and wood slivers out of my arms (especially elbows) and face. Puzzled by my apparent audacity, the griffin turns its head towards me and transforms into a Doberman Pinscher, becoming a bit thinner, running away with its tail between its legs, and shrinking and becoming a mouse, leaving the Captain’s Treasure House.

---

What does it mean to dream of a griffin? At the core level, a griffin is a flight symbol. A flight symbol is rendered in a dream in subliminal anticipation of the hypnopompic waking start. Additionally, a griffin is a mix of unrelated animals, which is likely to be a unique precursor factor of the coalescence of the preconscious and emergent consciousness.

Some of my other dreams that feature griffins (links): (1) Making a Griffin?, (2) R Brand, (3) Malfunctioning Griffin Game, (4) The Temple and the Tomb

Flashback to reality: Conversations I do not want with the endlessly annoying locals who use terms they do not know the meaning of and saying little that makes any sense. I push an empty baby stroller to the NightOwl Convenience Store as I always do when needing a couple things heavy enough to warrant aid. The unfamiliar cashier looks worried as I come in, unpredictably shouting “where’s your child?” and then seemingly assumes that I left them home on their own, something that other people apparently do from time to time (though I have no idea why an adult would leave a young child on their own). I guess the concept of “with my wife” is not a realistic scenario in the “minds” of the characters of this region.

As I begin to explain (even though there is no reason to have to explain yourself to a random member of the public) how my daughter is home with my wife, another female interrupts by commenting to the cashier, “he sold his child on the black market…I saw it on eBay”. Even though I am a stranger, she is pointlessly joking (albeit in extremely poor taste) as they continue to make other references that make no sense to me. When one addresses me briefly as I am getting the items I need, I simply look back and nonchalantly say “I have no idea what you are talking about.”

As I leave the store, one of the females tells me to make sure I wrap my child up when I take them out on a cold night so that they do not get windburned. I am not sure if she is joking or serious, though I am so nonplussed by her untimely misuse of the word and previous bizarre commentary (especially in walking on a completely windless warm night without a child in the stroller) that I just look at her for a very short time and utter "no idea” and I go on my way.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I remember being in my room at my mom's house. My older sister was asleep on my bed, while Sam was under my bed (the bed was slightly taller) on her laptop. I walked into my bathroom. My sister had woken up and followed me in there. "I'm about to take a nap." she told me.

She then made to go back into my room, but then I became annoyed. "Go to sleep in your bed.." I growled. She gave me a pissy look. I looked on the floor. Percy, my bearded dragon, was looking up at me.

Suddenly, I wasn't in the dream anymore. I was back in my bed.

'This had happened to me last night,' I thought. 'I woke up from a very short dream and I had a false awakening. Maybe it's happening again. Nah, maybe not...'

I was laying on my side with my left arm under the pillow. I heard my family downstairs, talking low; 'probably getting ready for breakfast,' I thought.

'That can't be right, though. my step mom has work, and my brother wouldn't be up at this time...'

I slipped my hand up through the covers, clasped my nose, and breathed in just to make sure.

Sure enough, it was like my fingers weren't even there.

Before I moved, I remembered where I was. 'You're in a dream. Hang on..' I tried to prop myself up on my elbow, but was having a very difficult time doing so, like I was stuck to my bed by a very large wad of chewing gum. So I tried to take it slowly. I still had my 'eye mask' on, and I didn't move to take it off yet. I remember feeling the coolness of my pillow as I was trying to get my arm out from under it.

I reached out my right arm with much difficulty, and felt for my bedside table. The cool corner of the table brushed my fingertips. At first, I was grabbing on for support, but then I just placed my hand fully on it, trying to ground myself and increase my sense of touch. To test it, I wanted to see if I could 'break' the corner with expectation, but before I could finish expecting it, I was back in my regular bed in RL.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID



I remember I was doing my WILD technique, when suddenly I found myself in my bedroom at my dad's house, sleeping in my sister's bed. Sam called my name. She sounded close. I grunted in reply, because I was "asleep," doing my WILD attempt. She threw something at me on the bed. I opened my eyes and looked at it. It was her phone. A message was open on it that was a conversation between her, my mom, and some guy that wanted a dog [that we didn't have]. I read the messages for a moment, then I found myself back doing my WILD attempt again, in my bed at my mom's house (where I started). A couple seconds passed. I realized where I had just "been."

'Dang, I was just dreaming.' I thought.

About a minute passed. I could feel slight vibrations in my body, and, now that I think about it, I didn't really feel anything at all. I almost felt "wide awake."

I heard thunder roll outside my window, and rain began to pick up. I wondered what time it was. Then I heard my sister and my brother come into my room. They were talking about the storm, "It's starting again." I heard my sister say. I wondered why they were in my room, but my main curiosity was about the thunder and rain. Were we under a thunderstorm or tornado warning? I decided to call this WILD attempt a bust. I sat up, and RCed just in case. I almost knew it before I even did the RC. Sure enough, I was in a false awakening. I tried to control my emotions and actions, but they had already begun to take over me, and I started to rush like I normally do in my lucid dreams. I was ripping my sleep mask off and getting off my slightly larger bed before I told myself that I need to stabilize and remember where I am. I stopped myself moving with MUCH difficulty. I was excited. I could see a little bit of white light coming through my window.

"Okay," I said out loud, to myself. I closed my eyes (which was probably a mistake) for a second, then opened them again. "You are in a dream right now. You can do anything..." But before I could finish grounding myself, the desires of myself started to take over. I walked over to my bedside table and tried to turn on my lamp. But of course it didn't work. I almost told it to light itself, but something else occured to me. I realized I was halfway hunched over, staring at a stuffed animal on my bed. It had a frightened look. I realized what was making me hunched over was my hair. It weighed a good 10 pounds on top of my head, and was all in front of my face. I tried to move it out of the way, but it would barely budge.

So I said, "Hair, UP!" Suddenly, my hair began twisting around to the back of my head. I felt around for my hair. Sure enough, it was "up", like the direction. I don't know what was holding it up. And then I added, "like in a ponytail..." Then, my hair began twisting itself all around and formed its own crude ponytail holder. It felt a little loose and I could see that it was bumpy in my mirror that was now very close to my bed. I then said, "Erase bumps." But I didn't get to see what would happen, because, before I knew it, I was back in RL, in my bed, still doing my WILD attempt. My chest felt hot. My heart was pounding. 'This can't be good to feel.' I thought. I tried to stabilize my breathing and focus on the lucid dream I had just exited. But, to no avail. I decided I should probably get up and record the dream, anyway.

Morning of July 14, 2015. Tuesday.



Instead of my first dream of the night being sensual and lucid as usual (probably due to the so-called Tetris effect regarding actual lovemaking), they have remained so for a couple days throughout and as such, have not much of a plot otherwise. Still, one has enough additional detail to perhaps post online as it involves one of those common (to me) imagery-based events that seem very familiar, even nostalgic, yet completely fictional.

Yet again, I am back in my (implied) teenage years in Cubitis. The bed is aligned east to west along the northeast corner against the outer carport door (that door being perpendicular to the main entrance into the living room), which is where it was during the height of unexplainable clearer dreams associated with my wife-to-be before we met.

There is another presence in the room other than Zsuzsanna and I on the west side, supposedly also with a bed in the room; an unknown female, though who leaves in a short time without saying or doing anything other than a straight walk out the door from my room (without acknowledging us), though it does not seem that much of a privacy issue even though it seems possible she may return (though she does not). After an extensive level of intimacy with augmented touch with Zsuzsanna, and even though it is semi-dark, I find myself looking at some sort of “impossible” Warren-like comic magazine/“computer” composite in the same location on my bed (it is not much like an ipad - but more like a normal magazine though with computerized pages), though which transforms into solely a comic magazine after a short time, though mostly in color. Firstly, there is a black-and-white splash page that shows a scene similar to art from near the end of the “Heavy Metal” movie (from 1981) with a female riding a winged creature. There is some sort of ambiguity that implies more imagery can somehow be inserted into the page into any white space with some sort of software routine. Although I contemplate this idea, I do not use it or see any options to do what is implied (or any context menu showing additional art to be inserted wherever - the ground below the winged creature is mostly white and featureless, implying that perhaps figures or buildings can be inserted as well as perhaps something else in the sky).

It soon gets more and more “familiar” (as if I had read through the fictional magazine numerous times in the past) as I turn the pages. There is a page that is somewhat like “Wizards” movie scenes (from 1977) in a typical Bodē-like three-by-three vertically narrow nine panel layout. Eventually, I am looking at what seems to be a very unlikely but “familiar” Vaughn Bodē Erotica comic, yet featuring Disney’s Magica De Spell. She appears to be standing (on the right side of each panel) and engaged in conversation with another female “duck” over most of the nine panels. The art becomes so vivid and detailed (and focused with full clarity upon), I partially forget I am dreaming and start to reflect on the intense “familiarity” of this book. It seems, though, that each page is only a “demo” (or sample) of various other magazines and I do not quite recall if I have all or some of the full copies elsewhere. (Magica De Spell was actually one of the first cartoon characters that appeared in dreams from age four, though only in two-dimensional still images and not really that often). This of course distracts me from my lucidity, though I do eventually shift into other sensual scenes without any comic imagery. I even enter a lucid “false awakening” (which is fairly rare) as if I am more lucid in coming out of another lucid dream. (Typically, concerning non-lucid dreams, my false awakenings are almost always far less vivid than the previous dream, though real movies that use this trick imply the opposite. The fact they are less vivid at least with me, is probably one reason why they “work” as a false awakening in the first place - with less reasoning skills available than the previous main dream.)

Decent night despite late bedtime, LD #126 (short, low lucidity)

Earlier:
+(f) trying to meet people, I call out my location, "Sol. and Sa. Pa." I think we're meeting on Al. hill

+ in a class with bad/strict teacher, studying words, a student stumps the teacher by calling out a word the teacher does not know, I think if you're going to teach a lesson like this you'd better study the words. There is a phrase I must work with and I have a book like a dictionary where I see some terms defined and I start reading from it, it's like a fairy tale entry on some mythological being? The text is black and red, it's not making much sense and people aren't listening so I stop reading.

+(f) thinking over my class schedule, why did I sign up for two English classes in different schools, when will I have time to do all the reading, how many pages were assigned?

+ playing with my kids as babies, "it's very hot in Cu.", It's very cold in Cu." and they echo back, we're rolling around on the floor wrestling and I look up and see an adult sticking her head in the door looking at us, I think it's my dad at first but it resolves into an unknown woman looks in, I say we're preparing for shower, smaller one crawls to closet with a passageway between the bedrooms, I follow to get him back, see girl in closet heading for me and I get interested, i realize its my sister and lose my interest, she's wearing a brownish turtleneck. She's blocking the way, and in her room is a leather suitcase being repaired with some dangerous glue so I have to go around to get my kid.

+ fire mall: outside city intersection at night, there was a fire and the fire department is here, the fire was to the right and the fire dept is blocking that side while ensuring that up the fire is really out, enter left side, a fireman extends the crosswalk timer to give people a chance to make it across. I enter the mall, go up to a woman's beauty salon up on a platform, I pee in an exposed toilet, a woman complains. And I say I'd do it again, step down and walk to the left of the platform and see a sign for the men's room and feel a bit stupid for using the women's salon bathroom.

I enter through the door and see a small shoe store there with racks of shoes all along the walls and think they really make use of all available space. Sitting down is an older middle-aged lesbian buying running shoes, "the advantage of running shoes is <something>" (I think that it's that they're good for walking, too.) The lesbian has a deformed foot, the front half is twisted a quarter-turn she says "I don't have AIDS!"

I'm walking to the elevators, miss one, get in another bit leave since my coat flies out of my arms and down a stairway, I go get it and it's now a glove.

Walking through the mall I see signs hanging from the ceiling advertising super fancy restaurants with long presumptuous names. I think they're really expensive but I'm on a business trip so could expense it.
There's a (gay?) maitre d', I'm trying to figure out the layout of the upper floors where the restaurants are: is it one continuous level, or are there separate towers on each corner that require using a different elevator (I say this out loud)? He answer and his voice changes from initially stereotypically gay lilt high-pitche'd to a deep man's voice, saying you have to leave enough time (because the elevators could be crowded/slow I think) and should try to arrive 10 minutes before your reservation. I see a huge (1 square meter at least) raw red steak on the shelf of an industrial press that starts to close on it.

Later:

+ LD #126: I'm walking on beach, I'm naked, almost walk into people, apologize in foreign language, where's my swim suit I'm a bit confused maybe I left it at home? Theres a girl at a big rock, people wont like me being near her while I'm naked. I go around the boulder to the right, look at the water, enter water put head under the surface, see clearly opening my eyes under water, think this water is particularly clear with good visibility, the water is knee-deep, I'm now standing, I look down into the water and see zillions of tiny fishes, then bigger odd fishes with weird mouths, I think they like to nibble on people's legs. One of these fishes comes near to me I think to nibble on me, its mouth gets larger and I see odd teeth, like large human molars, I kick the fish away from me and it slowly drifts and rotates, It now looks like the green glutton ghost from Ghostbusters.

This is weird enough to prompt me to do a nose pinch RC. The air leaks out around my fingers, it's not a free flow of air, I try a few times and the air keeps leaking out, I decide this means I'm dreaming and immediately start striding confidently out of the water, feeling like I'm in command of all around me. There are people walking around and a building ahead. everything is so clear and detailed, I get a bit skeptical about the dream and think I could get in trouble messing with the DCs if they're actually waking people, but I decided to go ahead anyway

There are mostly guys around, I look ahead and see a girl coming up to a glass door to a shop to leave it, and give her a "come here" gesture. She comes up to me and I tell her to take off her shirt. I'm running my hands along the skin of her back, she's hesitant and I tell her to keep on going. I bring in her head for a kiss and I see her mouth cave in a little and get a bit wrinkly. I pull back a bit and tell her "be young!" the dream transitions.

I lose lucidity, big deli guy makes me a turkey and mayo sandwich, he's complaining that "Szechuan Palace is stealing all my business".

Dolphin killers

The whole world was flooded with sea water, and people had to built platforms in order to survive. I was swimming on my little raft, when I reached ruins of harbor city. There were only some small parts of platforms still standing, with some useful stuff on them, like food, fresh water and other resources.

Suddenly my raft started to squeak and crack. Just before it fallen apart, I jumped on the farthest platform to the east. Thinking that I'm safe, I sat down and watched surroundings. There was nothing on the horizon, only endless ocean. I felt that something hit the platform from inside the water.

I looked around, and managed to turn back just as a dolphin jumped out of the water, with intent to eat me. I slapped it in a head a few times, and then another dolphin jumped out of water to help his buddy. I slapped it too, and both of them squeaked in irritation. They stopped moving, and looked at the water expectantly.

I leaned over the edge of platform, and then a huge orca jumped out of it, with open jaws. I quickly jumped back and slapped the orca while shouting with fear. After a few slaps or so, I just decided to run away. Both orca and dolphins jumped back to the ocean.

I inspected other platforms, but found nothing of use besides food. Without my raft, I was stuck there.

MILD - In a castle walls; wonderland

I was inside of guest room in a castle. I inspected the room - the floor and furniture were made with exotic wood. There were expensive tapestries, a comfortable bed and some wardrobes.

Suddenly I become lucid. For a while I thought what can I do this time, and looked around again. I saw a maid - a beautiful blonde lady in a green dress. With nothing better to do, I came closer and talked with her for a while. Then I persuaded her that we should have some fun, being alone in the room, and probably in the whole guest wing of the castle. I managed to keep the lucidity for quite some time, focusing on my intent and on the lady. Suddenly I just lost lucidity, without waking up. I was still in the guest room, maid nowhere to be found. When I wanted to leave the room, everything faded.

I found myself on a cliff. There were some roadsigns and a grave without any plaque. I was standing in front doors to a tavern. There was a tunnel leading to deserts, and down the cliff there was a weird, eerie jungle. The tavern was surrounded with dense forests.

I entered the building, and found myself in some kind of a museum. I wandered for a while, watching exhibitions, and suddenly founding myself back at the cliff, staring at the grave. For some reason, I took my phone out of my pocket, and took a photo of it.

Bully

I was in my old school, wandering the corridors. I decided to go back to classroom, and sat down. Teacher told us that it was free day, so we could do anything we want inside the classroom. I looked around and saw my friends playing some games.

Suddenly a bully walked closer to me, and showed me a pack of chips. I said that I don't want to eat, but he insisted on, and spilled some on my desk. With nothing to do, I decided to just eat them. Later that day, bully told me to appear at fuel station with 1000000 dollars, or he'll beat me black and blue. Back in home, I thought about that, and about the fine hunting knife I received as a birthday gift.

Next day with my family we were driving to a city, stopping by at fuel station. I told them that we had a free day at school, but I haven't mentioned the bully part. I saw that guy waiting for me there, but I wasn't going to meet him, and waited in car until we drove away.

I was with Manei in the park in my neighborhood. We were swinging together on the swingset and talking for awhile. I don't remember everything we talked about, just the ending part of our discussion. There were one or two questions before this.

I think one of the questions was about communism and farming. I don't remember the wording but it had something to do with her asking me if I thought communism was bad. I told her how the idea itself isn't evil; we just think it is because there have been evil dictators in the past.

I also remember she looked odd in the dream. She's been having trouble mainlining her physical appearance recently. She was shorter and had green eyes this time.

Me: "What is your favorite color?"

Manei: "Milky human peeish poo." (wut?)

Me: "You know sometimes I feel like I should be asking you about more important spiritual things that your favorite color, but I can't think of anything better. Okay, I have one. Do you think humans are going to destroy the planet with war and pollution or is everything going to be okay?"

Manei: "It looks to me like humankind as a whole is pretty much screwed, with global warming and all. I think its better to make a significant change in one persons' life than an insignificant change everywhere."

We got off the swings and started walking toward where my house is.

Manei: "You know what would be cool? Having a cyclops dog with only one eye."

Me: "Well its a dream so anything is possible... Wait... do you mean like one eye in the middle of the head like a true cyclops, or just a regular dog that's missing one eye?"

I woke up.

#450 - DEILD - 5:21AM

Summary:

I OBE to my sister-in-law's. Practice eye movements and slip out a window. It's cold and rainy. Some white flower petals are mixed with the rain. I interrupt a lesbian couple kissing, ask where the aliens are, and one starts morphing into a grey alien. A noise wakes me up prematurely.

I am half wake and aware that I can hardly move. My body feels extra heavy. My right hand is slightly tingly and I am in an uncomfortable position altogether, but instead of trying to move, I just relax as much as possible. I notice my foot slides off the bed some, but I just ignore it the best I can. After a few seconds, I decide to just try moving my dream body and my awareness slips from the physical to the non-physical. I notice I have no vibrations this time and as I tumble to the floor I all my discomfort has vanishes. It feels awesome to have such a vivid OBE again.

I stand up and look around. The environment is dark and I am in the living room of a house similar to my sister-in-law's. I walk around a bit and practice slow and deliberate left-right eye movements. It's better this time and I move on. The door to the garage is open and I spot a bright window with a red curtain. As I approach the window I notice how locked in and stable this dream feels. I think this is going to be a long lucid dream. The window is open and there is no screen. I look outside and see a car port, noticing rain and... is that snow? No. It looks like white flower petals mixed with the rain. I dive out the window head first getting stuck at the waist for a moment. The rain is cold and as I pass under the dripping edge of the carport, cold water runs unpleasantly down my neck. I pause for a moment looking around. There are a lot of DC's milling about and I remember my dream goal. I want to find gray aliens and ask them to show me something cool. I look at a house across the street and focus on a middle-aged lesbian couple kissing on the front steps. I move over to speak to them and for a split second I consider a threesome. Nah not this time. I turn to the woman on the left and grab her shoulders, "Where are the aliens?" She doesn't answer. Instead, her face morphs into a hideously distorted mix of gray alien and human. I pull back and say, "Whoa!" I wait a moment for the transformation to complete, but some external noise wakes me up. My damn cats.

I notice that I am in the position that I thought I was when I was entering the dream so that part was real.

Funny thing is that my mom said i was giggling in my sleep like at 2am. I don't recall what i was dreaming about at that time though.XD
I'm going to write down the dreams i had after that dream though.

Royalty

* I was inside a castle with my younger brother, a king, queen and two others. A girl and a boy who were also royalty. We were being tested and had to get out the castle filled with traps safely. When we entered a room the king shouted for us to get down. We all got down and spears/arrows shot out through the wall. He reminded us that we had to be careful. We than got up and went to the next room that was a bedroom. I jumped onto the bed thinking it was safe and it suddenly started moving. We screamed as traps began to go off and when i turned around someone, think it was the king, had a spear in his head on the ground. I was left with my younger brother who looked way younger in this dream.

I carried him, jumped on the bed than off it and ran through the castle until we reached a balcony. We were found by a guard though and went separate ways. The evil kind followed me and i ended up in my younger brothers room. I started pretending i was a bird so i can change into one and flew up. The evil king said that he caught me as he was going to grab me. But than i shouted "No! You can't catch me!Birds are small and they can fly fast all around the room." He said ok and acknowledged that i was right. Glad my silly reasoning worked.

Who are you?

*I was in a car with a blonde lady who ended up having an small accident. Even though i turned out alright i had a feeling i lost my arm even though it was still in tact. Than out of no where a dream guide came to me and hugged me from behind. I became lucid than and felt like i was being surrounded by warmth from a sunny character who was probably rich in many treasures. I got the feeling that this guide was giving off the I'm a child but I can be adult form too vibe. I hugged the character and asked who it was and why it was here.

Than the setting changed into a sunny bright orange scene. I could only see his silhouette a bit(White outlined silhouette) and he was holding me pretty tight from behind. He than threw up a white monster like goo like thing from his mouth and told me that he was here to keep the things i fear the most contained so that they wouldn't bother me.(The goo thing looked like a small monster that was alive and crawling) I was happy with what he said and told him to let me see his face. But he held onto me pretty tightly. "Come on. Let me see how you look. Are you tan? dark brown?light?" I asked. He said no than moved me to my older brother's room and dropped me on the bed.

The room looked a lot nicer and the stuff in it was organized the same way it use to look when it was my room."Are you Dawn?" I asked. Than suddenly i heard Dawn's voice shouting "Dont pretend to be me!". I couldn't see anything since the guy was still holding me from behind. Than suddenly he dropped rings and bracelets on the bed in front of me. "Wow, these are all pretty!~" I said looking and touching them. Than he mentioned how they were all symmetrical. I really wanted to see his face now." Show me your face! Please! Or at least tell me your name!" I said.

The setting than changed and i was now looking out a window where i saw anime people passing by. He than started thinking of names i should call him and it was getting pretty annoying."Be....Lu..."some other stuff I don't recall. Than i woke up. I'm guessing that this character could have been Eye but im not too sure. He definitely reminded me a lot of Eye.


This is what the bracelets looked like. Although they looked more shiny and pretty in the dream than when i draw them.

I remember I was stuck with my parents late at night. They were driving around in the city going to different restaurants/bars/etc. I remember feeling like I just wanted to go home, that I didn't want to get out of the car and visit anymore locations. I announced how bad I was feeling.

They said we could go home, and abandon our original plan of going to get late night pizza with my cousins. I got in the car. They said that they could see Venus and Jupiter outside the passenger side window. They asked me (the astronomy nut) if that was correct.) I looked. I saw Venus, Mars and Jupiter, each about as big as the moon in a nice neat row.

Lucid. It was the planet mars that triggered it.

As soon as I became lucid, I began looking at everything around me. I remember seeing a city skyline and 'remembering' something about how all the buildings in the city were built from the top down and suspended with huge cranes. I recall the sky becoming orange and green and filling with huge cumulonimbus clouds. I said something about how I knew the clouds were caused by nightmares, and that the bigger the storm, the more evil the nightmare that was causing it.

I remember I went back into non-lucidity thinking about construction sites and the top down construction. I might have even woken up for a brief period of time.

The next thing I can remember I was in a room with another DC. I think they were a member of the dreamviews forum, but I don't remember anything else. They told me to follow them as fast as I could. They walked out of the room and I followed. I didn't have the need to go so fast because they were not going that fast.

I remember we were in what sort of felt like some kind of shopping mall. There were indications that I was dreaming everywhere. I remember two of the stores were called 'Lucid' and 'Dream'. There was a movie poster featuring DawnEye11, Oneup and Mastermind titled 'Adventures in Dreamland'. There was another movie poster titled '~Dreamer~' and just showed a purple eye. (Huh... wonder who that was referring to...)

I figured I should reality check. I did a nose pinch RC. It didn't seem to work at first, but I tried a second and third time. Yeah. Lucid dreaming...

I remember noting that the mall was mostly quiet. Most of the shops were closed and there were only a few people wandering about.

I remember seeing a doctors table in the middle of the mall where two doctors were treating some patient. They injected her with something and she started to grow grass out of her legs. She then flew up and hit the ceiling and was seemingly stuck to the ceiling randomly flailing her arms and legs around as more grass grew out of them. She looked like she was trying to scream. For some odd reason, I thought that the person was another dreamer and said:

"Wow, someone's having a weird nightmare..."

The doctor disappeared and everyone stopped in the middle of the mall. This angry female gym coach came out.

"Alright, lucid dreamers. Fly Lightspeed! Let's go."

I looked up at the ceiling. There were the octagon decorations hanging from it and I tried to picture them both being made of Styrofoam, so I should be able to punch right through it. I remember thinking that I wanted to try that energy exchange agian. Maybe I can use the power to fly.

I saw a little bar graph appear in the lower part of my feild of view. The line was near the bottom. I took off and started flying upward. I saw the line started to go up. The more I focused on flying upward, the higher the line went. I tried screaming like an anime character powering up and and the line went almost all the way to the top. Everything went black and white for a split second. I held my concentration there until I asked myself why I was listening to this random DC. That broke my concentration.

Then I was inside of a fire all around me that burned away and I was breaking through the sound barrier. All of my speed stopped and I was several miles above the ground and there were clouds all around me.

Almost immediately, I found myself in my high school gym. The graph had been replaced with a computer error.

"Error. can't connect to dream guide. one sided energy link is not allowd." (with 'allowed' spelled wrong.)

My dreams seem to have a lot of computer problems lately. Maybe they run on Vista.

I remember seeing a boy (who I actually recognized.) but he had Manei's hair. I guess we're having problems 'loading the correct character model' now. I remember the mean gym coach lady came and started yelling at me, but I couldn't have cared less. I could barely hear her too.

"You can't make an energy link with yourself, silly!"

"So we need to be touching for that to work?"

"Yes. You're going to wake up in a second, but the teapot dream is up next and we can try it there."

#449 - DILD - 2:48AM

I hit this DILD just before my scheduled WBTB. I almost decided to skip it but I'm really wanting to get another lucid tonight.

Summary:

I wake up in jail wanting a way out. My phone doesn't act right so I do a nose plug. I morph through a screen door and play with a cat. I enjoy a psychedelic night sky with planets and nebulae. One planet was a giant baseball. I play with an inflatable octopus in a fountain and then wake up.

I wake up in jail. I believe it to be jail although it doesn't really looking like it. I'm laying on something uncomfortable, but I ignore it. I am not sure why I am jail. I never think about that I just know that I hate it when I wake up in jail though this has never happened in waking life. Its late morning and I realize I am late for work. I don't rush around to get ready because I am bummed about jail. It's only 30 days and I've nearly done a week but this really sucks. They only let me out to go to work. Why do they do that? I think I should just pay a lawyer and get this thing taken care of. I really want to go home. I consider taking a vacation day so I can do that, but I don't want to get caught and make things worse. Surely, they track me somehow. I see an ad on the floor for a local lawyer. I decide to should call him before I go to work. I look at my cell phone. It's past 9AM. I unlock, but cant get my phone to respond properly. It's acting really random and I notice this as a dream sign. As a matter of fact off this seems really weird. I do a nose plug and I am relieved to blow through. Whoo-hoo! Problem solved!

I hop up and notice I am some version of an old house of mine. I want out and the first thing I see is a window screen. I try phasing but the screen distorts my vision too much. I look left and see a screen door, but I don't think to open it. I try to phase, but the same thing happens. I suddenly recall to practice eye movement and I get a left-right, but quickly my eyes feel like they roll. I shake it off. I see a cat outside and play with it a little by tapping on the screen. It's scared at first, but I will it to respond and it latches on the screen for a second. I laugh and am finally able to relax enough to merge through the screen.

Now that I am outside, I notice it has become dark. I play with the cat a little to stabilize before moving on. I realize I have no goal so I just decide to look at the sky. Dream skys are always super fun and psychedelic. I let out a "wow" when I see a large planet that looks like a baseball with a colorful nebula around it. I hold the cat up and say, "Look cat. That's what the title of this dream will be." The cat doesn't care about that and scrambles to be let down so, I drop the it and forget about it. The baseball planet has vanished now so, I look around the sky some more. Several nebulae appear with multiple planets of every color coming and going. I walk around enjoying this for a long while until I have a bad thought. I wonder if I am really supposed to get getting up for work. I wonder what time it really is. The dream is starting to get unstable again and I feel that I could wake myself up right now. I consider it, but decide to enjoy the dream a little longer.

I look around me and see a strange fountain with something glowing yellow like holographic tentacles. A holographic octopus? When I come near, the hologram vanishes and a cartoonist, inflatable, pink octopus emerges out of the fountain. Amused I grab the octopus by the tentacles and spin around with it. I focus on the horrible humanoid face of the thing as the world spins around me. It's eye are bulging now and I hear a faint muffled scream coming from the thing. It's "alive"? The whole thing is slightly nightmarish, but I find it too funny to be afraid. The dream collapses here and I have a few random images before waking up.

July 7, 2015

I have an FA and I head into my bathroom to take a shower. I look in the mirror and my face is a little off but I don't think much of it and turn back to the shower. I then suddenly turn back around just to make sure and notice my face looks like a creepy baby face with messed up teeth. One tooth hangs out of my mouth when I close it. I am suspicious that I could be dreaming so I do a nose plug to confirm. Sure enough I'm dreaming. I test the mirror out and do something with my hands. The thing in the mirror does something completely different with his hands making them into the OK signs and connecting them (if that makes any sense). I get sort of creeped out so I leave the bathroom. It is dark in the house and I walk to the balcony. I see my mom folding clothes with her back turned to me. She has a ponytail and her hair is brown. I start walking down the stairs and lose sight of her. I picture her as a cute blonde I know but then decide that is too hard for me to actually believe with my limited dream control. So I imagine a less attractive, but still attractive girl who has brown hair usually in ponytails. I settle on her because it seemed to me it'd be easier to imagine. When I get downstairs I remember I forgot to stabilize so I quickly touch and take in a few details of the wall. I turn the corner and walk towards the lady who is still folding clothes. When I near her she turns around and is a cross between a cat and a vampire. She hisses and grabs my arm, trying to take a chunk out of it. I'm screaming and thinking that all I want to do is wake up, because I don't want to feel any pain.

Into another FA.
I'm sitting in a chair in my kitchen and I do a clock RC. The clock seems fine. I rest my hands behind my head and remember to notice gravity, which seems normal as well. I turn my chair and see my mom outside gardening. There are manikins of hands all over our landscaping and I think that's odd. I'm asking why they are there and was very close to deciding that was very weird when I got pulled back into the dream plot. I grab a bag of cereal, which I also tested gravity with and it was also normal, and my brother said that his teacher said he was sorry for not helping him on the test. My brother wasn't mad though because he said he still aced it because he wasn't an idiot. My mom was then in the house and said how his teacher was so nice.

Even though I didn't get lucid from the Gravity RC, it's good I remembered to do it in a dream. I probably just didn't have enough awareness of gravity yet to realize that it was different from WL. So that just tells me I need to practice it even more until I an finally get lucid from it!
