    Lucid Dreams

    1. Abusive Father and high-level lucidity. (#187)

      by , 03-21-2015 at 04:31 PM (Lucid Time!)
      There was some non lucid and semi lucid stuff before my last WBTB, but I can't remember it. I remember it had something to do with this recreational center that had an ice skating rink in it.

      -WBTB-

      There was a man who had a small toddler with him in a store, akin to a Walmart or Target or something. He was abusive and got angry with his son of about three years old. Apparently, the store sold toilets on this big multi-teired display and he got so mad with his son that he flushed him down one of the toilets.

      His mom started panicking, but the abusive man kept pushing her away. He then said he was going to 'teach the kid a lesson' and grabbed an absurdly large tube of toothpaste off of the shelf and squeezed it into the toilet to 'drown' him.

      The mom told me to go and get security. I ran to the front of the store where there a couple of security officers. One was really tall and skinny and the other was short and fat. It told them about what was going on, and they said that since this man might be dangerous they wanted me to be armed. They handed me two over sized nerf guns. One was a huge nerf missile launcher and the other was a giant machine gun.

      We went running back to the scene where the man was still squeezing toothpaste down the toilet. One of the guards grabbed him and the other picked up the toilet and smashed it open. The kid inside was fine, but he was covered in toothpaste.

      The dream carried on for another minute and I carried around the giant nerf guns. I wondered if I was allowed to keep them.

      ...

      I was driving down the expressway, or at least felt like it. I looked down to see that I was not in a car. I didn't even have a body. I was just a floating viewpoint moving down the road like a car would.

      Somehow or other I was able to nose pinch and recognize that this was a dream.

      The expressway had lights and weird interchanges in it, all of these traffic signals and junctures that didn't really make sense. I remember seeing traffic lights that turned weird colors like purple and white and wondering what they meant.

      I then honed in on the cars that were driving around me. They were really detailed. The expressway changed to more of a suburban road with big trees. I saw that the cars were really detailed. I could even see the reflections on the gloss of the car of the trees and the sun.

      I began thinking at a very high level of lucidity about how this was all imagery created by my brain, and it had such impressive quality. I knew I had to get to trying to shared dream with DawnEye11, but right then.


      Then my mom came into my room and started yelling since I was going to be late for my Saturday morning taekwondo class. I really need to start trying to WBTB at college more. I don't have to worry about this crap.

    2. War Games

      by , 03-21-2015 at 04:12 PM (Xanous' Dream Journal)
      #424 - DILD - 5:33AM

      My sister in law M has a runners backpack on. It looks a lot like the picture below but it all white with red trim and is made of soft, dry-wick, polyester. I really want one of my own for when I start cycling back up as well as trail running. I tell my wife I really want one as I look it up on my phone. The brand is called 'Calender 3' and the model is 'Delilah'. Hmmm sounds girly, but I still like it. I see it costs $30 and I tell my wife that it's not a bad price. I wake up really hoping this backpack is real.

      Another Newbi-ueewndt.jpg

      it's almost 4am so I get up, use the bathroom, and get a drink — generally milling about for a few minutes. I decide to lay back down and spend some time meditating but pass out quickly.

      I am playing some sort of war game on an arcade machine, but I realize that everything I am doing is actually a real battle. I see several other arcade machines lined up next to me and I decide to call in the others to help. Everything is set up outside in near a war torn, dilapidated building. I round a corner and shout, "Hey." someone fires a shot but misses. I use my cell phone to signal so they know it's me. I call out for 5 troops and the come. I realize only 2 or 3 are left so I tell them all to come. One looks like an Imperial Officer from Star Wars.

      Another Newbi-review_scpiett_still.jpg

      My daughters come to join the war game and I set my older up on a fighter jet game. My younger is going to be my co-op player 2 on my game. I have some issue with the buttons and the front has extended like a long table. I have to climb to reach the player 2 button. My son gets in my seat and falls and hits his head. I yell harshly at my younger daughter because she didn't stop him. Then I feel bad for yelling and apologize to her as I hold my crying son on the couch. My older daughter is player her game but she is attacking the wrong country, Japan. I know they will for sure break from the alliance now. Think she may as well do as much damage as possible. I watch as she is flying close to skyscrapers and shooting out windows. The fires off a few rockets but doesn't do much damage. She finally crashes into a building and laughs.

      I stand up and now I am in the living room at home. My daughter and I have some conversation about what just happened and somehow I decide this is all a dream. I say, "I've decide this is a dream." The world almost crashes here, but I stabilize by jumping up and down around the house.. The sensation brings everything back to vividness. I randomly decide to do pull-ups on the chandelier over the dining table. I feel my muscles tense and I wonder if I am some how benefiting from this exercise. I decide to make it 'harder' so I extend my legs forward to the ceiling as I continue pull-ups. I feel physical muscle strain now. This almost wakes me up so I stop and swing off the chandelier into the living room area (it's actually all one big room).

      My son is trying to get outside and I stop him at first, but remembering its a dream, I take him outside with me as we adventure. I decide to have fun in the car and I take time to put him in the car seat. I know it doesn't matter, but it makes me feel better to do this. I wonder if I will have difficulty and waste time fumbling with things, but everything goes smoothly. I hop in the driver seat and turn the key. The car is positioned wrong and I have to back up and turn around. I reverse it and then slam it hard into 'drive' and peel out as I leave the drive way. I drive fast without stopping at intersection and make several random turns. I come to a traffic light and weave around the stopped cars, cutting the others off. I quickly lose interest in driving and my visual weaken. I have to focus the dream back and decide I need to bring the joy ride to an end. I see the road ends at the doors of a department store so I floor it. The effort of the gas pedal make my foot extra tired.

      We crash through the glass and now I am standing in the mall holding my son. There is an extra large RC car about the size of a shopping cart in front of me. It's plowing through kiosks and stands. A young woman in a grey dress screams and runs away. Jerry from work says something about my driving a car into the mall again. Again? I've never done this. A security guard runs up to stop the car shouting the same thing as Jerry. I wake up.

    3. Trying Out Telekinesis

      by , 03-21-2015 at 02:19 AM (One Up Seeker)
      1. I was in some kind of building just walking around when suddenly I become Lucid. For once I am not overcome with the sex drive of an angry beast, so I decide to explore. The building I am in looks rather weird. The walls are olive green and are made of some kind of metal with bolts connecting some of the walls. Not far ahead of me I see a closed door that is also olive green in color. I walk up to this door, open it, and walk inside. I walk into a room that has gray carpet flooring and is rather spacious. I notice as I walk in that the entire right wall is made of glass windows. Through these glass windows I see a huge, modern looking city. The city doesn't look normal though, every building, street, and everything that was a part of this city had an orange glow to it.
      A voice from the other side of the room catches my attention. I see a few people talking casually, and they don't even notice me. Now my animal instincts start to surface and I start searching for a woman to release them on. To my right, I see Estefani, a fine Latina girl that goes to my school. She is wearing a shiny red dress that hugs onto her body pretty tightly. "Hey Estefani, haven't seen you in a while" I say from not too far away. She smiles. I realize that I haven't done anything new in a while, so telekinesis comes to mind. I hold out my hand as Iron Man would towards Estefani, and I expect her to draw towards me. Immediately, as if my hand were a magnet, she draws directly over to me and into my arms. "Haha, clever move" she tells me with a sensual smirk on her face. We start making out, but then I stop myself as I realize that I do this in every lucid dream. "Time for something new" I tell myself.
      I decide that I want to explore the glowing orange city that is outside. I see another door inside of this room and I can tell that it leads outside. I go over to the door and try opening it, but it is locked. "That's odd" I think to myself. On the other side of the door I hear a sort of rustling and a man grunting. Seconds later I see the door knob twist and the door opens. An old man wearing a gray suit and a red tie walks out. He seems deeply frustrated. I look behind him and see that he was in a room, so this door actually never led to outside. "Sorry sir, I didn't mean to bother you" I say. He gives me a stern look a walks past me. I turn around and see him walk over to a brown desk that was behind me the entire time. He sits down at this desk and starts to think to himself.
      Intrigued by his seeming intelligence, I walk over to him at his desk and initiate conversation. "What's wrong?" I ask, "You seem really busy". "I am" he said, "I have 5 people trying to set up a conference with me at once" he continued as he held up 5 fingers (his hand) to signify this. "Wow, that is alot" I say. I then look back out the windows at the city, remembering what I wanted to do. I notice that the sky outside is dark and it looks like it is about to rain. I then look back at the old man, "You know, maybe you should just relax and have a little bit of fun. Believe it or not, right now I am actually using telekinesis to control a girl's body". He looked up at me with a look of deep concern mixed with curiosity. "Look" I said. I then turn around and point my finger and Estefani. As I do, I use telekinesis and she flies over to me.
      A look of shock comes across the old mans face. "And I can control her by moving my finger wherever I want her to go." I then move my finger and point into the air, and Estefani flies into the air at a rapid speed. I start flinging my finger pointing around at various places in the room at a rapid rate. She goes flying to each of these places like a rag doll. I try to stop telekinesis, but I can't. I point my finger at the ceiling to see if it would stop it, but instead, she goes flying to the ceiling and her body smashes into the ceiling at a high speed. "Oh crap" I think to myself, "I didn't mean for this to happen". I move my finger down to my side and Estefani goes flying once more and she flies over the old mans head and smashes into the wall closest to us.
      It seemed that I was so into what I was doing with telekinesis that I didn't notice that the room had suddenly filled with alot of people. It was like a party was going on now. I walk into the middle of the room. Once more I look out the windows. I notice something new. Above the windows I see four words, " Sure Fire Gei Club". I make a note of the words and then turn around to see what everyone is doing. Some people are dancing, some are drinking, some sitting down, and some people just standing. Suddenly I get really dizzy and my vision starts to blur and I see alot of colors as if I had just stood up quickly from sitting down for a long time. I realize that the dream is fading. I focus. I then clap my hands with great force continuously and yell, "Clarity!" and "Lucidity" back to back. The dream comes back. "What was that?" I ask myself, not sure of why the dream started fading(I then realize it was because I was just standing in one place for too long).
      I then hear the old man say from behind me, "How does it feel being in the 5th dimension?". I kind of ignore his question and I start looking around and touching things to stabilize myself. As I'm doing this, a dream character comes up to me and pushes my head to the ground. I get up really confused and disoriented, and the dream starts fading again. At the time I had no idea what was going on.
      I then wake up, or so I think.
      I recollect the dream and make sure I remember everything(It turns out, I didn't really wake up, that was actually a false awakening). I stay in bed during this false awakening, thinking I have really woken up. I close my eyes and another dream starts. I now find myself walking up my stairs. At the top of my stairs I see two swords laid across each other. For some reason my stairs are extremely steep now, so I get on my knees to move these swords to take away the risk of falling. After I move the swords I get up and walk down my hallway. I make a left at the end of the hallway and open the door to my room. As I do so, I notice that my room looks exactly like the "Sure Fire Gei Club" I was just at. I make a note of this and then wake up.

    4. Night of March 20th 2015. Bed from 22:00 to 06:00.

      by , 03-20-2015 at 04:38 PM
      Can anyone spot a common theme in my dreams from last nigh
      Night of March 20th 2015. Bed from 22:00 to 06:00. Before going to sleep I asked my guardian angle/helping spirits/spirit guide and totem animals to review themselves to me in my dreams in a way I would recognize and understand.

      Did not record first 2-4 dreams.

      My mum had come up to the city to help me out with something. Towards the end of her visit she asked or I offered to accompany her while she drove out of the city or all the way to her home.
      On the way out of the city she often asked for directions. What I felt she was really doing was abdicating responsibility for taking such and such a road or exit.
      I then answered only once when asked by her which way she should go. This made her panic resulting in her driving down the wrong side of dual carriage way at night. I spotted this and told her she need to get off the road. She insisted she was going the right way until we were caught in the headlights of a large truck coming towards us. She curved and drove the wrong way up a slip road to get off the dual carriage way.
      Next we found ourselves in a service station on the outskirts of the city. We'd stopped for something to eat.
      While queuing up I noticed a person who had recently passed away standing in the queue. When I told my mum who I saw she said that was impossible as that person was dead. Then I thought is this what its like to see a ghost or spirit. e.g. 100% normal if you choose to believe other 'worlds' exist outside of the physical.
      I then returned to my old mood asking mam if she would be able to drive home from here by herself or if she would like me to accompany her. She didn't answer so I told her I was going home and left.
      Outside I just missed the first bus. Luckily another bus came quickly after this. Buses didn't stop unless people were at the bus stop waving them to do so. However buses did slow down at which point I called out to see if the bus was going to my town (where I no longer live but were I rent out my apartment). It was, stopped and I got on. The collector told me to go ahead when I offered to pay the fair because of my nationality.

      My thoughts/attempt at interpretation:
      I treat my mam like that in real life because a large part of me feels she does abdicate responsibility or rather I feel she did so in the past. Maybe its now time to acknowledge this and just accept her questions with the view that maybe if I adopt this approach she will come to see me as more relaxed and open.
      As for the dead person apart from wanting to see a ghost! While I acknowledge the person gave me employment when I was young I felt they were nothing more than a slave driver.

      03:00
      I found myself at the gym having not been there for sometime either due to injury or because I had been attending to other higher priority stuff. I sensed that maybe in my job I was a police man.
      Not sure where to start I lay on an inclined bench and picked up some loose weights that were there. I then put them behind at head level and straight up by straightening my arms. When I put them behind my head and tried to straighten my arms they rubbed off the wall. I thought they would fall off and then observed that there was nothing holding them onto the bar.
      While lying on the bench an ex female president also attended the gym and took a spot to my right. She was surrounded by a few companions.
      Next a gym attendant a middle aged woman who I felt knew my from before by the way she approached and asked “if I could help her”. I replied 'sure'. My 'sure' was how I would answer a friend or 'sure' in a genuine way, not in a 'sure, just let me put your request on my to do list and I'll get to it sometime'.
      I accompanied her to her room/office/work station. She asked me if I had travelers cheques. I said 'of course'.

      My thoughts/attempt at interpretation:
      I never like police and at my age I won't be joining! In saying that I can sense what it would be like to be a guardian of order / justice but served with compassion.
      As for the gym I don't use a gym but felt how good it feels to return to an old or totally new activity.
      Regarding the travelers cheques I need to travel but at the moment I don't have any money. Perhaps had I been mindful enough in the dream I could have told the woman I don't have any but that I would like some.

      In another dream I found myself on the road beside a fence behind which was a large factory or institution. All of a sudden a helicopter approached from behind and spotted a name on the tail. Brian Cox. Then the helicopter was blown violently backwards. It then proceeded to land safely. A group of children disembarked. They were on school project to move fish to a new location. They have a fish each. One fish I saw was a turbet.
      When I saw this I became irate because I automatically assumed they have not consulted with the national fishing body responsible for maintaining eco policing.

      My thoughts/attempt at interpretation:
      When ever I think of the name Brian Cox I think of someone who attained a top job but who always flew under the radar – excuse the pun.
      Regarding fishing, I like fishing and I do get angry when I think of how non native species are allowed to be introduced without any governance what so ever.

      In my final dream it was morning and I was at work/in collage in a very large institution in the Netherlands. An communication was sent out that every worker/student would receive €31 in their next pay packet due to a surplus. Surplus was the result of over charging or business having been good. I wondered why the institution had not decided to reduce next years registration fee by this amount but then I thought maybe increasing moral in the present moment was more important.

      My thoughts/attempt at interpretation:
      I worked in the Netherlands as a general operative when I left school.
      I need financial help at this time.
    5. Raindrops

      by , 03-20-2015 at 03:28 PM (dolphin's dreams)
      Shortly after I began trying to fall asleep, I noticed some specks in my vision. I imagined the specks being some suburbs at night and I imagined myself flying over them. I was now flying over the lights without a dream body. Gradually the lights converted to ocean waves. As I was flying closely over the ocean in the night, I noticed the sky was overcast which looked good for rain. I finally dove down into the ocean and glided closely along the ocean floor. Once I saw it drop down sharply to a depth of about 20 feet, I looked up, hoping to see rain on the surface. It was raining! It looked like rain falling on the windshield of a car. Satisfied that I completed my dare, I tried to transform into a dolphin. I began to swim very fast and could feel my body changing. I took time to observe my body and could see my tail, dorsal fin, and pectoral fins. I forgot to do the beak, though. After a bit more swimming, I woke up.

    6. LD: Spraying Sparks from my fingers (on Jim)

      by , 03-20-2015 at 02:57 PM
      Another LD last night. So thankful to be past my dry spell. One thing I found interesting about this LD is that I stayed in the story. Usually once I become lucid I go off and start a new adventure. But this one has me kind of sucked in. And that made it a little fun and different.

      Dream:

      I was visiting my friend Jim. We had been out of touch for a while, so it felt nice to get to see him, and I was able to see his house for the first time. He was showing me around. It was a fairly small house. But then at one point I wandered away from him and suddenly found this spiral staircase that went up to a second story that was quite nice. What made it even more exciting was that there was a second level backyard as well. I climbed up and looked out into the yard. It had a ground cover of dichondra and was beautiful. Jim saw me looking and smiled like I had discovered one of his secrets.

      Then we were in his lower backyard which was larger. He had planted several varieties of pumpkins. The vines all had many large pumpkins growing on them. Some were the traditional orange color. But there were others that were yellow and a beautiful dark purple color, which I had never seen before. As is typical, I pulled out my camera to take a few pictures. At one point I went back to check on the pictures I had taken. I can't remember exactly what is was, but there was a problem with the camera. At that moment I became instantly lucid.

      I started flying straight up into the sky. I went slowly and could see down below. I saw Jim watching me leave. Part of me felt bad. I knew this was a dream, but I still felt connected to him, like he was real. And I felt he was sad watching me just go. But I knew I had to go on to do other things, so I tried to not notice him anymore.

      I suddenly was having a little trouble with my flying. I felt all awkward. Then, for a moment, I saw myself in a 3rd person view. I was trying to fly "swimming style", but my stokes were uneven. I wasn't making much distance. So I flew back down to an alley next to Jim's yard. I tired to think of a Task of the Month that I hadn't done yet. I kicked myself a little for not thinking about them before I went to bed. My mind was blank. Then a thought occurred to me. I think one of the Tasks had to do with taking an object and destroying it with fire. I looked around for something to pick up. There were some pieces of metal laying around. I was about to pick one up, when I suddenly saw Jim come running toward me. I knew I shouldn't have left him behind. But at least he found me. I told him I was trying to do a task and destroy something.

      I then said, "Watch this." I held out my hand and focused on it a bit. Suddenly I saw a small glowing white spark form at the end of my first finger. I concentrated a little harder and soon a shower of white sparks sprayed out from my finger. I showed off a bit by moving my finger all around in the air, like a little kid holding a sparkler on the 4th of July.

      Then I grinned at him and sprayed the sparks on his cheek. I asked, "What do you think?". He grinned back but said, "Oww". I said, "No, that couldn't hurt." Then I said, "Check this out."

      And I held out my hand so he could see it better. My whole hand was glowing a hot red, and around each fingernail there was a hot white glow. I felt a little heat, but nothing painful. At this point I concentrated and sparks flew out of each finger. I spun around spraying sparks everywhere.

      Then suddenly there was a transition and we were back inside his house. I wanted to ask him a few questions about his life. Part of me thought, "Don't be silly. This is a dream. His answers will be your answers." But at the same time another part of me thought, "Yeah this is a dream--I will have much better insight."

      So I sat down on the couch with him and asked what had happened with him and his wife. I knew they were no longer together, but I hadn't heard what happened. He told me that it had been really good at first, but that he had done something that he had regretted and lost her because of it. I then asked him what his plans for the future were. He then smiled at me and said, "First I'm going to do this. " And he leaned in and started kissing me. He then pulled back and asked it that was alright. I smiled and said, "No." But then I leaned in and kissed him back. Then I said, "Yes". And we continued kissing until I woke up.

    7. Quad WBTB: Flying and Dream Control, Asking 'Why', and Manei does weird stuff. (LD #184,185,186)

      by , 03-20-2015 at 01:38 PM (Lucid Time!)
      I found myself semi-lucid around my own house. I can remember flying around. I was fighting this fat DC who looked like Gluttony from Fullmetal Alchemist. I remember I was trying to mimic alchemy and convert the atoms in the ground into weapons, blades and rock pillars that would attack him.

      At one point, I made a giant cannonball and covered it in spikes. This seemed to kill him. I think he vanished, and I realized that I was fighting. Then my alchemy powers stopped working but I was still able to fly around. I thought about flying to space, I saw the moon in the daytime sky and thought about going there. I remember thinking about how there was an old shared dreaming group who had a building there. I thought that I was supposed to be meeting with her (Dawneye11) in the shared dream there.

      Just then the moon exploded. Bits of the moon flew outward, but the core of the moon remained, and became a black hole. Then, a gravity wave came out, first hitting the pieces of the moon and pulling them back in. It then hit the earth.

      It felt like a really strong wind was pulling me toward the moon black hole. Houses and trees were pulled up and sucked in. I thought that I should try to escape the black hole. If I can't NBD, it's a lucid dream, and I'll see where it takes me.

      I started flying away, but I wasn't going nearly fast enough and I was getting sucked in. I tried to go faster and managed to stop myself relative to the black hole. at one moment, however, I must have twitched my arm too fast because I woke up and moved my arm IWL.


      -WBTB-

      I was in my old high school with Manei. However, I was for some reason a ghost. (You know how for Halloween there is always that one person who goes as a bed-sheet ghost. Well, I was that ghost, but I wasn't a costume, I was just a bed-sheet.)

      I remember at one point (though not very clearly) I was able to phase through walls. Manei was very impressed.

      At some point, my ghostly bedhseet was replaced with a Victorian dress.


      At the end of the dream there was this big wall of questions. It was something that my high school was doing in the dream. I remember reading one of the questions that somebody else had posted.

      "Why do dentists write on our teeth with a dark blue crayon? Wouldn't dark green be on a better wavelength?

      While I'm at it, how many dark blue crayons do they take away from small children who need them, after all it has been scientifically proven that little kids like the dark blue crayons?"

      I looked through most of the other questions on the wall. Most of them were long and complex like that one, but I didn't bother to read all of them.

      Manei said that she wanted to put a question on the wall. There was a bin of cards. She used some kind of power on it and it began rapidly cycling through a large number of words and phrases until it landed on one single word.

      'why'

      She posted that up in the middle of the wall.

      "Why is a beautiful word because you can always ask 'why' something is the way it is. Sometimes you will arrive at an answer, and others you will not. But you can always keep asking questions. Why does this school exist? Why do I exist?"

      "Why does this dream carry on even though the core message has already been conveyed?"

      "Exactly."


      I went back into semi-lucidity and we sat down in the back of the class that was sitting in the gym. One of the teachers was giving a presentation, but I paid no mind to what he/she was saying. I decided that this would be an opportunity to try blobularwindmils dare of drawing something and making it come to life. But somehow I remembered the dare wrong and thought that I was to draw something that was already alive.

      I was looking at Manei trying to figure out how to start drawing her face. She looked over at me and gave me this big goofy smile. I told her to hold that pose for a moment. I lost the dream and woke up.


      -WBTB-

      Some weird nonlucid bits. I was a member of this tribe who live in a wasteland. I was looking out over our village that we were building. The dream was strangely very clear here.

      I remember we were living in a sand gully. There were these huge gray mushroom structures all around. They were miles tall and clouds wrapped around their bases. It was a strange, alien world. I was considering starting a farm/garden to grow food for our people and had found a nice area of land next to the village.

      Just then, like magic, the leader of our villiage approached me and asked me to do just that, start a farm and grow food for everyone. I told him I would get right on it.

      ...

      The dream somehow gave way to a dream about this Star Wars game where you would create a team of Jedi with different skills and weaknesses and they would battle one another or other opponents.

      In the game they were chasing this big cyborg guy through this space station.

      ...


      I found myself fully lucid once more in the living room at my aunt and uncle's house. Manei was there in one of the chairs. She said something to me that I couldn't make out, like she was mumbling or something. I kept moving closer and ask her to repeat herself.

      By the fourth or fifth time, I was practically leaning in her face. She had her headband on. Also, for some reason her hair was really shiny. Overall the experience of seeing her was vivd. (Much more than it had been in the last dream.) She just looked like a completely real person.

      "I want to hear you call me 'Kitten'"

      *tries not to laugh* "Okay, whatever you say, Kitten..."

      "And your nickname can be Jaylen!"

      "Why 'Jaylen'?"

      "I don't hear you coming up with a better one."

      "Why not 'Jade', like my Dreamviews profile name?"

      *giggles* "Okay."

      She then decided to give me a hug. I hugged her back and the dream blurred out and I woke up.

    8. My Bee Lariat in La Crosse (arm and hand mobility)

      by , 03-20-2015 at 09:20 AM
      1 minute 40 second read.

      Friday morning, 20 March 2015.

      My Bee Lariat in La Crosse (arm and hand mobility)

      Dream # 17,623-03.



      Introductory knowledge:

      Statue precursor: Augustus Ceaser. Statue precursors have occurred in all sleep cycles for over 50 years and correspond with my status of REM atonia (paralysis while sleeping throughout every dream each sleep cycle in healthy people). They do not typically remain in my dream’s narrative after they present but sometimes define the type of mobility that occurs. For example, the Augustus Ceaser statue’s position implies defining an invisible lariat as in my dream’s outcome. A person might also misperceive it as a man with a bedsheet wrapped around his waist, confirming an additional lucidness factor of being undressed while sleeping.

      The lucidness factors include vestibular-motor phasing with practicing hand and arm mobility and recognition of imagination while undressed in sleep. Spinning or attempting to spin something is a natural dynamic of vestibular-motor phasing. These attributes are neither “non-lucid” dreaming nor “lucid dreaming,” both misnomers.

      Dream narrative:

      I am in the Loomis Street house’s backyard, where Marilyn is also present at one point. The setting’s essence implies an hour before sunrise.

      The backyard is full of plants of minimal height. They are yellow carnations or marigolds. I am eventually aware of a swarm of bees attracted to them. At first, I consider they might sting Marilyn and me, but my concern becomes minimal.

      I believe I can control air currents. I raise my right arm and hold up my index finger (pointing upward), rotating it in a counterclockwise circular pattern as if defining an invisible lariat. The bees gather into a rotating torus above me, turning counterclockwise. Any bee still on a flower is forced into this pattern.

      I contemplate how bees that produce honey benefit people, so I allow some bees to navigate individual air currents to gather nectar. (This standpoint may not have been the case if the flowers had not been yellow.)

      Virtual amnesia results in my dream self not recalling that I have not lived in America since February 1994 or that Marilyn died in 2014.

      Failure to think and contrived convenience for vestibular-motor phasing: My dream self does not rationalize that we could go into the house to avoid the bees.

      Compartmentalized lucidness factors, virtual amnesia, and the failure to feasibly think are all caused by responding to dream state dynamics as a result of REM sleep, revealing there is no such thing as “dream interpretation” when correctly recognizing and understanding causality.

    9. Flying Around and Hearing Interesting Stuff in ‘The Void’ - Mar 4, 2015

      by , 03-20-2015 at 12:08 AM
      I became spontaneously lucid in this dream for no particular reason. My mom was standing in front of the backdoor at my childhood home. It was early morning, and the sun was just starting to come up. Dear mom was very nicely dressed, and I thought she was maybe getting ready to go to church. I told mom, “I’m lucid! Let’s fly!” She shook her head no. I said, “Watch me, I’ll show you how.” I then flew through the living room, around the staircase, and I returned to the backdoor, landing effortlessly in front of her. She wasn’t at all interested, and then she walked into the living room, sat down at the couch, and she started to read her Bible. I said, “Mom, how can you always be reading your Bible? You must know it inside and out by now?” She gave me a look of desperation, and then she laid down on the couch and went to sleep.

      Feeling determined to get my mom flying; I began to shake her shoulder. She came to, but she was now my sister. I said, “Sister, let’s fly!” My sister excitedly said, “Sure, okay!” I grabbed onto both of her hands to fly, with a plan to float upwards, but then the furniture moved towards us and it was now too crowded to fly. I said, “Let’s go over by the stairs and try there,” and my sister happily skipped along behind me (My sister is such a happy girl), but then the dream faded, and I was back in ‘the void’.

      I was consciously awake with my body asleep. I couldn’t see anything, but I could hear lots of activity going on around me. The voices echoed, and it sounded like I was standing in a crowded airport. There was a woman announcing messages over the speakers, but I couldn’t make out what she was saying (typical airport). It felt like I was floating around in my bed, and then a woman right beside me said, “Which of these people are going to meet with the three creators?” Then all noise instantly stopped, and I heard somebody walk out of my bedroom, slam the door, and stomp down the hallway. I immediately opened my eyes, and nobody was there. It was night time, and all was quiet. I was then lying in bed feeling really pumped and excited about this dream. Very cool stuff!

    10. Is it real or a dream?

      by , 03-19-2015 at 11:48 AM
      This is something that i really want to share. Something very personal and breath taking. Well at least for me....


      Today is exactly 4 years since my mother passed away. When i was 17 i have been through so many horrible things, as i was living only with my mother and she was the only person that i trusted.

      When she passed away i was seing dreams, they were really vivid lucid dreams that stayed in my subconscious mind till this moment. It was the only way i could still contact her. I was aware that im dreaming and i realised in my dreams that she is gone so i was trying to ask her all the questions like why? how do you feel? and she replied that she doesnt feel the pain nomore, I was also asking questions like is there any world that we don't know about? tell me if theres really something like god? she replied that there is a place, where you don't feel any pain, everything is calm and beautiful, but she didnt see any god or something... I was asking her if she can take me with her but she said that its not the time yet and that i need to live...

      I was dreaming her all following year almost every day and i was saying how much i love her, say things that i didn't said when she was alive try to hug her and feel her.

      Appreciate everything you have now, because you never know when will be the last time you see someone.
      Thanks for reading,

      R.I.P to my only love in the whole world.
    11. Cuban Vacation - Mar 5 to Mar 12, 2015

      by , 03-19-2015 at 03:13 AM
      I had several lucid dreams while on vacation in Cuba. Here’s what happened:

      Mar 5, In this dream I was at my parent’s house moving some chairs from the dining room to the kitchen in preparation for supper. When I picked up a chair I noticed that the left and right sides of the seat back did not match. The right side was squared off at the top, whereas the left side was rounded. I said to my wife, “Honey, I know that I’m dreaming because the seat backs are not symmetrical!” The dream started to fade, so in an effort to stabilize, I began to swirl, but no luck.

      Mar 5, In this dream I was in a dimly lit large machine shop. I became lucid for no reason whatsoever, just as a man ran past me. His skin was glowing white with a slight iridescence. He ran up to a locker and opened it, and a flood of light poured out illuminated him brightly. I ran around the lockers to the other side and I tried to levitate him, but he didn’t budge. Then I walked up to him and pushed on his shoulders with both my hands. I wanted to see how strong he was. He put his hands on my shoulders and pushed back, but I easily slid him across the floor. I said, “I’m stronger than you.”, and he replied, “Don’t push me.” He was less than impressed (I was misbehaving again).

      Mar 6, In this dream I was walking down the street in my home town. Suddenly, packages of butt wipes started to appear in people’s hands, and a package also appeared in my hand. I instantly became lucid - Dream Induced Lucid Dream (DILD). All of us walked into a community center with a stage at the back. I decided to have some fun with this lucid dream, so I walked up on stage and raised my package of butt wipes up into the air! Everybody stopped what they were doing and watched. I said, “Butt wipes! These things are amazing! When your butt needs a wipe, what do you reach for? Butt wipes! When you’re out on a date, and things are getting awkward, what do you use? Butt wipes!” People started to laugh, and then I stepped off the stage. My dream guide walked up to me and said, “Ohhh, that was good! Everything turned out okay.” I replied, “Yeah, you have to have fun sometimes when lucid.” We walked out the building together, and then I woke.

      Mar 7, In this dream I became lucid because the man beside me had glowing red eyes (DILD). I asked to him to help me find my daughter, and in return I would give him my truck. I reached into my pocket, pulled out the keys and gave them to him, and I said, “The truck’s outside, it’s yours!” He graciously took the keys and left. I then woke into a false awakening (still lucid). I was holding my daughter in my arms, as my wife was talking to her. I told my daughter I loved her, and then I woke.

      Mar 8, In this dream I was holding a wood carved jewellery box (Cuban made). We had actually been looking at these the day before in Havana. My dear mother in-law (passed Y2001) came up to me and said, “Ooh, what do you have there?” Boom, lucid again! She was very interested in the jewellery box, and she had a huge grin on her face. My wife was standing beside me, and I asked her, “Can you see your mom standing there?” My mother in-law instantly replied, “Of course she can see me!” I then woke.

      Mar 9, In this dream I was coaching soccer. The field was covered in water, so I told the boys to swim to the far end of the field and touch the white line. The assistant coach became upset with my drill because the boys were supposed to be playing soccer, not swimming. I thought about what he said, and then I became lucid (DILD). I remembered my dream intent to meet up with my daughter, so I started to call her name. The water vanished from the field, and then I slipped into another dream where I was driving a Suburban down the main street of my home town. I lost lucidity. I saw my daughter walking down the road towards me holding a fishing rod. There was at least 10 fish dangling from the pickerel rig. I pulled over and asked my daughter where she caught them, and she replied, “Down the street at her friend’s house. We should go there!” I then woke.

      Mar 10, Wake Back to Bed (WBTB) lucid dream. I entered this dream in a fully lucid state using tactile visualization during meditation. I was standing in a bungalow, and my son was sitting at the dining room table. He said, “Dad, have you seen the backyard yet?”, and I replied, “Not yet, but I’ll take a look!” I walked out backdoor and onto a concrete deck. The entire backyard was a gigantic fish pound, and it was surrounded by forest! Fish were jumping and sending small ripples across the mirrored, pond surface. I called for my daughter to come, and I instantly heard her giggling and talking to my son inside the bungalow. She then came out the backdoor and faced me with a huge smile and I said, “I’m lucid!”, and she replied, “Great dad, you finally got it!” My son then came outside and joined us. I gave my daughter a huge hug and told her I loved her. I then asked the kids how they were enjoying the Cuban vacation. My son looked totally confused and didn’t know what I was talking about, but my daughter knew. She said, “I’ve enjoyed it, but I’m getting really frustrated because nobody has given me a sip of their drink. I keep tapping people on the shoulder when they’re ordering drinks, but nobody feels it.” The dream quickly faded and I woke. The following day we ordered my daughter a Pina Colada for lunch (her favorite drink)! How could we forget?

    12. Lucid Dreaming School 4 - Basic Control

      by , 03-19-2015 at 02:54 AM
      Color Code: Nonlucid, Lucid, Partially lucid, Waking life notes

      Dream Lesson 3: Overcome sexual distraction

      March 18, 2015

      I wake up but don't move. I feel tingling and then vaguely feel like I have gotten up and started walking. I can't see anything. I say/think "I'm a ghost." I gain my vision and the dream becomes more solid, and I remember my ongoing goal.
      I approach a refrigerator and knock on the door saying "I would like my next lesson, please." I say something about it being for control.
      I pick up a bagel with both hands and let go, trying to make it float, but it drops to the floor. Rather than bother picking up the same object, I grab a jar of jam from the fridge. I place it on top of the fridge (which is either very short or I am floating) then make it float by keeping my hands a few inches out on either side of it.
      I believe I remember a post on DreamViews in which someone says that dream control needs to be based on things we are familiar with. I say to myself "I know what it's like to lift, but not what it's like to let go and not drop it." (Meaning, my dream can easily use my memory of lifting objects in waking life and apply it to making dream objects float, but has no obvious memory to prevent dream objects from falling when let go.) But, I say, "I know I can do it."

      I practice a few more times making the jar float, and having fun doing it. I am now able to drop it and make it stop falling after a second.
      I talk to the dream and the school I believe I am attending and ask what's next or if I should continue the lesson.
      Now I am in a giant version of the garage in my childhood home. Watermelons start flying at me. I hit and kick them and make them bounce off each other. I grab one and try to take a bite of it.
      I have a giant metal wrench and I'm hitting some metal things (?). I see a giant person and ask if he wants to fight, but he seems to ignore me. I hit a stack of red hot cogs, or metal discs and they go flying.

      I lose lucidity. Someone is talking about dictators and is going to cut my fingers off with a knife.

    13. The Railway House DA + OST + DILD

      by , 03-18-2015 at 09:25 PM (Inner World حلم Gamma Waves)
      I was rushing through a couple of people to aboard a train. When I manage to get on my baggage broke loose. I started picking up my stuff as I hear the trains annoucement said "Go to your right side of the train if you wish to be transported to the warmest places in the area" "Choose the left side of the train if you desire the coldest area's " I didn't think this through I thought, I didn't knew train rides could get this complicated.

      Many people were choosing sides to go to, their proper clothing suggested that they were aware of this fact before arriving to the train station. I decided to choose the left side since I had a lot of clothes in the bag I was carrying. I continue to walk as my suspicion began to grow, noticing how orthodox the train really was. The light blue carpets and the stairs to the side that went up made me think this was a moving house.

      I saw one seat kind of was open but the woman had her purse place to the next seat. She gave me a glare that told me she didn't want me near her. I continue going up the train and open the door to the next section. I check if there was anymore seats available and soon notice a little girl sitting near the window. There was two seats that were empty, I decided to sit down in one of them. She ask me couldn't I have sat somewhere else? I told her this wont last too long.

      Around this point I became lucid and notice the sunset through the window. Around on the train house people became more active in talking, strangely at a similar time. The little girl said she must be dreaming since the scene outsode appear a bit abnormal. I said you and me both but I suddenly began to lose my train of thought. This makes me lose lucidity. Lucidity Time: 6 seconds.

      I think imagination playing tricks on me.

      When i lucid dream, i see the same city all the time. Same place. I can do whatever i want there. After few years experiance of the same place now i know where are all the parks, markets, shops are and which bus i should take to go somewhere. Thats really weird,i see same people,same gangs, where the poor ones live, where to hide if someone is chasing me and where is unsafe to go. The roads, forests are the same. Now it's been a while since i lucid dream being there, that's kinda sad
    15. Strong Smell/Bakery/Death Game/Which Class?

      by , 03-18-2015 at 06:32 PM
      Strong Smell

      I was inside my bedroom covered in long white strips of paper with illustrations on them. I wanted to pretend i was in trouble so someone could come and save me. But than i thought about how this was a really stupid idea and got up. When i got up i tried to unplug something but blue electricity came out and i almost got electrocuted. I thought about how this was bad because i was a bit wet too. When i left the room i noticed there was a strip of paper stuck to my leg that had a bit of electricity popping out of it. I ripped it off in the hallway than took out a metal piece that was somehow stuck to my nail. I felt sort of lucky to be alive than walked to the room where my older brother sleeps. When i entered the room it was filled with fluffy white furniture,the wall was light pink and it smelled like a really strong smell of something sweet. But i couldn't tell what at the time.

      I asked my brother if he used a really strong perfume. He said no and I noticed how he was eating pink cotton candy in a white box.
      This made me realize it was a dream but i was pretty surprised by how concentrated and strong the smell was in a dream. I than left the room to look for Dawn but as i was walking through the hall a lady appeared flying in the scenery. She began to change things in the house according to the way she wanted it. It was suppose to be scary with a theater type of look. As she was doing this water began to rise in the house. I went to the stairs and walked up a bit. The wall quickly vanished. I turned to see the lady flying to a guy and spin hugging him in the water. She started to joke about how they could breathe underwater now. I found it a bit funny but turned to see a familiar looking DC staring at them too. It was a somewhat large,tan guy wearing a white mask/bandages on his face. I wanted to fly to him but woke up.

      Bakery

      It was sort of Dark outside and i was heading home from work. I wanted to surprise my family with doughnuts though so i went to a interesting looking bakery. The shop owner was a older woman who was also apparently selling barrels of ice cream. I was about to leave when i saw how plain and unappetizing the cupcakes looked. But than customers began to come in and start getting special candy that was now available at the shop. I decided to take another look around and saw small cakes with small items on them. I picked one up that looked like a lemon cake and was about to take it and eat it. But i noticed that the one i was holding, with the blonde girl in the light blue dress, had a strip of paper with the date September 25th on it. I thought these might be Birthday cake stuff that were assigned to people so i put it back quickly and moved to the candy section.The older woman asked me which size bag i would want for my candy. I chose the smallest which was number 1. She laughed saying how she thought i would choose a double size bag of number 1. Than i woke up.


      Death Game

      I was with my old best friend inside a room. Afraid i didn't have the right colored blue scrunchy i left the room to find it.But than somehow i ended up in a city where i felt was a virtual game world. I saw my dad and he told me not to worry because we will find a way out. I left him to explore my surroundings and saw a bunch of kids bullying another kid. I, along with other kids, were going to stop them. But than someone shouted that the boy was humping the other boy. I looked to see if it was true than tried to get the heck out of there. But one of the boys grabbed me and the boy who had his pants off started to aim his pee in my face.

      I tried to keep my mouth as shut as i could.But it was falling all over me and than the boy shouted if it tasted good. I was pretty mad. The boy let me go eventually and ran off. I ran the opposite way and entered a large hall of a large building. There were people with me saying to stay in the group if we wanted to survive.
      I became lucid and decided to take on the challenge for survival. I ran with a group to help them destroy the enemies. When they were near we were told to hide. I flew above and hid in a panel. A black bat with a white circle for a eye appeared and flew through the hall. A woman on our side with a sword and a leopard skin dress wanted to attack him and went after him. I let her go and went the opposite side.

      I wasn't really sure what side i was fighting for anyways. I reached a room filled with a group of people. A asian man tried to attack me. All i had in my disposal was a floppy sword. I attacked him while flying and he began to scream in pain. I didn't like to see him suffering so i dropped the sword and said it was over. I flew down and than a evil thing started to speak. It said that all losers had to give up something and what it wanted the most was the tongue of a Korean man. It typed into a cell phone and extracted the man's tongue with it. He fell to the ground than the thing started to say" How do i want to build my tongue? Make it a light pink. Sprinkle it with sugar." He sounded soooooo creepy when he said this and how he showed me he was building another similar looking tongue was really disgusting.. There was a mini baby doll near the tongue too.

      I flew away than ran into two Indian girls who were on the run and lost my lucidity.

      I mentioned how the mood was changing since there wasn't a lot of people around anymore.The two girls agreed than went into the kitchen to grab something to eat. But one of them noticed that what she ate was poisoned so she told me and the other girl to run. The other girl didn't want to leave her friend though. I tried to take her hand but than she just ran off by herself and i woke up.

      Which Class?

      I was in a sixth grade school building looking for which class i might be in. As i was walking through the halls i decided to go in one of the rooms. I sat there for a bit than one of the students asked how they would know which class was theirs. The teacher said it was on their schedule paper. At that time i realized i was too old and the only reason i was here was to find my hat. I looked around for a bit, found it, than left to the exit. There were parents exiting as well. As i was waiting for others to exit i overheard a old lady say something awful had happened to someone. I decided to get home as quick as i could after i heard that and exited the building. I was now in the part of the school where the kids played recess.But there was only a few kids and it was looking kind of late.

      As i was walking i noticed a kid arguing with other kids. One of them had a gun and was about to shoot them including me. I tried to get away and this led me to hovering a bit.
      I became lucid and started flying away. But when I turned around I saw a old HS friend flying behind me with a machine gun. I tried to get as far away as possible than landed on a street.Lost lucidity after that and ran to a red jeep. But before i got in I looked at myself and saw a red mark on my chest under my white t-shirt. I drove for a bit than left the jeep at the side of the sidewalk and tried to walk fast to the hospital.

      When i reached the parking lot i noticed officers around and others constructing something on the building. "This isn't the entrance!?" I asked. A officer responded saying "No. We aren't going to watch movies here like we use to. The entrance is on the other side. You have to go around". I was annoyed with this and tried to walk as fast as i could with the wound i had. When i reached the sidewalk I noticed the jeep's lights were still on. "Someones could have stole the car!". I thought than ran to the jeep. A tall blonde woman was about to get in.Her 3 little girls were already in the back seat. I told her to stop and jumped on the car. Than i went around and opened the door and tried to pull her out. She got out the car and i drove the car a bit until i ended up in a building apartment or house.

      When i got out I started to walk for a bit.But than the room lights suddenly started to flicker on and off. I thought it might be the little girls. They started to run around and i thought about how they might be mischievous spirits following me since they were somehow still here. So I grabbed two of them, put my hands on their heads and prayed for God to use his holy spirit to send them away from here. The girls screamed than fell on the floor and vanished. One of them was left so i looked around for a bit until she ran and i grabbed her. She was begging me not to do it to her than turned into a little girl i know.
      I realized it was a dream than and didn't want to do it anymore since she was just a dc. Than i woke up.
