lucid

In this dream, I was being chased by dream figures on top of 40 foot high shelving unit in a warehouse. I had no idea how I got up there, or even why they were chasing me, I just knew I had to get away somehow. Soon I was trapped at the end of a shelving unit with nowhere to go, except down, way down. The concrete floor was 40 feet below, and they were closing in. I was scared to death about jumping, and I knew they were going to push me off as soon as they reached me. Several more dream figures stood on top of another shelving unit across an opening area, and they were simply watching with interest.

Then for no particular reason at all, I became lucid (This often happens to me). Defense was the first thing that came to mind, so a 10 inch butcher blade appeared in my right hand. The pursuers stopped dead in their tracks, time stopped, and then I remembered my conviction for no violence. I held out my left hand and drove the knife right through the top of it and I let go of the handle, and then I raised my stabbed hand to show the pursuers what I’d done. I didn’t feel a thing except for slight pressure. Whispering voices echoed through the warehouse from horrified onlookers, eyes opened wide, mouths a gasp, and then somebody said, “Gross, I can’t believe he did that!” (Just between you and me, I couldn’t believe what I’d done either).Then I pulled the knife out of my hand and the wound healed instantly (except for a slight mark on one side). I said, “See, you can’t hurt me, I’m dreaming!”

In an effort to further make my point; I tipped the section of shelving over, which I was standing on, and I fell quickly towards the ground. My stomach dropped through the roof of my throat as I fell, and I was actually very scared (even though I was lucid), but I was determined to hit the ground without waking up. I fell 40 feet and landed flat on my face, and then the shelving unit landed on top of my back. Again, no pain! In complete stupidity, I said, “See, I didn’t feel a thing!” The dream figures all started to laugh and giggle, as I wormed and squirmed, to try and get out from under the collapsed shelving unit. Then something quite unexpected happened, 5 or 6 dream figures started to jump off the shelving units, from 40 feet up, just like I did! I couldn’t believe it; they were doing belly flops onto the concrete floor! They were lying on the ground, uninjured, rolling around, and laughing hysterically. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing! I then woke up.

I strongly recommend stabbing a knife through your hand sometime in a lucid dream. It really quite the experience!

5:38 AM: 2 hour WBTB (ungh, accidental). Then I am sitting in a car, parked beside a building. I am deciding on something, maybe radio stations. It occurs to me that I might be dreaming, but I brush it off--a thought that arises, but then gets subsumed again before I have a chance to really address it. I think about driving somewhere, then realize I have been sitting in the car for sometime. I get out and go inside the building. As I am walking in, remember I wanted to LD and am pretty sure this is a dream right now. I nose pinch and can breathe.

I decide to spin to stabilize. Dream blacks out (as spinning usually causes this for me). I continue walking down the hallway, visualize the scene I was just in. It slowly returns. I enter some doorways, and quickly become disoriented--there are doors and hallways all over the place. No big deal--it's a dream. I can't get lost. I jump up and touch the ceiling, testing gravity. Keep walking, and find myself in a restroom. I recognize this as "dream locale"--I often dream about public toilets In one stall, there is no urinal. I decide to test summoning. I visualize a urinal, look around the side of the stall, and then back. Peekaboo--no urinal. C'mon, now . . . . I think, and try a few more times. Finally, a urinal appears. Cool. I try to do something else with the urinal (don't remember exactly what) but when I look again, there is some pipe extending out of the wall and emptying into the toilet. I spin again and the dream fades. I reappear in the restroom. I wake up. Try to DEILD, but nothing.

Lay in bed for approximately an hour. Just try to drift off normally, with the intent to be lucid and observe the dream state. I am at a grocery store. I'm outside, digging through a bin of marshmallow products. I eat something (maybe a single, unwrapped marshmallow) and then begin examining labels to see which marshmallows have vegan ingredients. I recognize the brand of one as not vegan. I also see some cookies sandwiches with marshmallow in the middle. These are probably not vegan, I reason. The fact that they are unwrapped strikes me as odd, but not terribly so. I start to go inside the grocery store. Some fast-paced techno music is playing. I remember I am at a grocery store (a dream sign of mine), so it would be a good idea to nose pinch. I do. I'm awake. I think that I should be a little more thorough, however, and pinch about seven or eight more times. Little by little, I feel like I can breathe, Until I can breathe. I CAN BREATHE.

I begin stripping off my jacket because I feel hot (think this was some residue from the original dream plot). Inside, techno is louder. I'm no longer in a grocery store, but an office building with multicolored, vibrantly-glowing cubicles (reds, greens, and blues I remember). In one of them, as I approach, a stickman in shirt and tie is mirroring my movements exactly. I almost run to interact but then remember I wanted to take it easy, and just observe. I take in the visual details of this place, turning around. Above me, there are men in suits walking around on a higher floor. I think to fly up there, but no, seriously, just observe. As I watch, the landscape becomes more malleable. The distance in height is shortening and shortening--but this is more of a perspective thing: almost as if I looked and judged incorrectly the distance before, and my "eyes" are slowly correcting the error. Interesting. I hear wife's alarm and wake up. Try for a DEILD, but no.

Ok, so for this dream, my recall isn't the best because I haven't recorded any dreams for a few days, nevertheless:

1. I was in school. I was sitting in a chair in a portable classroom, and I noticed that in this classroom the lights were really bright. Before class started, I saw a girl I knew, Gabby, walk in. She walked past my desk and as she did I got her attention, but she recoiled as though she hated me or something. I looked at her as she sat down because she usually wasn't like this. As I got a better look at her I realized that she looked alot different, and a part of me became semi-lucid because of this. Her skin tone was now alot more white than it used to be, and she was wearing clothes that I had never seen her wear before, specifically a red and black dress.
Somehow, something inside of me told me to leave the classroom, so I got up and left. Once I got out of the portable, I immediately noticed that it was raining outside. I walked through the rain into the main school building. Once I got inside, I pulled out my phone and got on it. I remember not caring if the teachers saw me with my phone out. Suddenly, I got a feeling that I needed to be in my next class, and I have no idea why. I started jogging to get to my next class. As I was doing so, I came around a specific corner, and as I did my phone slipped out of my right hand and flew 10 feet into the air, and 30 feet away from me.
I watched in horror as it went up into the air and then came back down and smashed into the ground, and then it bounced up and hit the ground multiple times again. I ran to get my phone, and as I got to it I noticed that its case had flown off, but I also noticed that my phone looked a little different than usual. My phone looked like it was longer in length than normal, and a fall doesn't make your phone longer. As a result of my awareness, I became semi-lucid once again. I picked up my phone and I was praying that the screen wasn't cracked. To my dismay, the entire screen was basically shattered and as I turned my phone over to see just how bad the damage seemed, my phone broke in half in my hands. The other 3 or 4 people around me that had come over to help said that they felt sorry for me.
I picked up all the parts of my phone, and I noticed that as my phone did break in half, a USB fell out of it. I knew that I probably wasn't going to get a phone anytime soon, because this was the second time I had broken my phone in less than a year. How would I text all my friends anymore, or even contact them? How will I get on Snapchat or Instagram anymore? I couldn't.
I don't remember how, but I got home later in the dream, and as I got home I walked into the living room. The lights were off in the living room, so everything was rather dark. I walked in front of the t.v. and started slowly telling my parents what had happened. I finally got to the point where I told them my phone broke, and my dad got really pissed. "You what?!" he yelled. Only seconds later I forget who, but either I became Lucid and remembered that it was all okay and my phone didn't really break because this was a dream, or my dad told me that my phone didn't break because it was just a dream. Either way, I still became lucid as a result of my awareness kicking in.
I then remember leaving the living room and going into some kind of city. I had a specific purpose in this Lucid Dream, to find a certain girl. Once I got into this city, I started walking around. It was night time but the city was still alive and full of energy, so it didn't seem like it. Lights were everywhere. I walked around a corner and a small apartment caught my eye. "She'll be in here" I told myself to create an expectation. I walked into the apartment and started looking around. The walls were yellow, the floor was covered in hardwood flooring, and there were paintings in each room. There were many objects lying around that made this apartment quite unique.
Suddenly a group of people walked in through the front door, specifically a family. They immediately noticed me. One of the little kids from this family, a little boy, started running at me. I didn't want to get distracted to what I was originally planning to do, so I ran away from the little boy and jumped out of the apartment through a small window. As I did so, I landed on the ground outside in what was probably their backyard. There was no grass though, it was just a small concrete area with an odd yellow metal fence. I looked to my left as I got up off the ground, and I saw my teacher Ms. Bernstein talking to what looked like, another teacher that was around her age.
"Hey Cory! What are you doing in my backyard?" She asked. "Oh, well actually I was just trying to get out." A yellow fence was now directly in front of me, blocking my path. "Ms. Bernstein, do you mind if I jump over your fence?" I asked. "Sure" she said, "Go ahead." With that I then jumped over her fence, but as soon as I did I found myself now stuck in between two fences. I was trapped. The room between these two fences was so small, that I couldn't really move at all. I couldn't get any room to get a good jump or climb over or anything. At this point I started thinking to much about how I was going to get out of here. Such a simple fix, but it didn't occur to me to just destroy the fence or anything else since I was taking a way more peaceful approach in this Lucid Dream. Because I thought to much about it, I ended up waking up.

5:55 AM: Close to lucidity a few times (in high school again, both with people my own age and people who are not). Finally, I am driving with my wife. Not sure how, but enough weird stuff occurs that I nose pinch. I am nose pinching, and about to say that it is not a dream, when I realize I can actually breathe. I look at my wife and say, "I can breathe!" She smiles and is RCing as well. I am still not sure. Jokingly, I say, "I am going to do one more RC." I then open the car door as we are speeding along. "If this is a dream, I can jump out and be OK." She doesn't say anything. I look at my hands. They are a little off, but otherwise normal. I look away and look back several times. Finally, I only have two fingers, and one of them is twisted up like an ugly tree root.

"I've only got two fingers!" I say to my wife in a "this is ridiculous" tone of voice. "This is a dream." I then jump out of the car. I glide to a stop, as though the car was never moving at all. My wife gets out of the car too. We are in a wooded area, and there is a dirt cliff high above us. My wife easily flies up to this spot. I decide to follow, but can't fly after her. I begin practicing what I had told myself in WL: I'm flying, I think, I'm flying! It doesn't work, though, so I jump and start climbing up the dirt cliff. My wife extends her hand down to me to help me up. I wake up and then DEILD.

I roll left (not normal) and fall through space. I am in darkness for a bit, but then "open my dream eyes." I am falling through some cavernous area, with Egyptian iconography. I see a sign that looks like an advertisement for the Discovery channel. I finally land in what I think was a ruin of sorts.

I sense the gravity is low here. I moon jump through the house. Fun! I notice the house becoming more "house-like" and less ruin-like. In the bathroom, I look around the shower curtain to see who is there. Nobody. I look away and look back, expecting a beautiful woman to be there. Surprise! No, she is not there. I try this a couple of times, to no effect. I then see some shadows in the soap dish. The shadows begin to form into little silhouettes of goblins. I begin interacting with them, and begin to pretend to be mean. They respond by swinging little weapons around (I remember one swinging a tiny flail). I remember to give them positive energy. They really seem to hate it, as they begin screaming. I tickle them and they start dying. I wake up.

MILD for a few minutes then return to sleep. I am driving along a mountain path and listening to a rock song. I think to myself how this singer has a melodious voice, when I suddenly wonder if this is real or not. I nose pinch but find it difficult to breathe. I stop the car by putting my feet down and lifting the main wheel up. I then look out over a cliff at the town below. I think of how I would love to jump from here, if I could just be sure I was dreaming. I sense for my WL body.Hey, there it is! but unfortunately I wake up.

Pink Barrier

Inside a subway with a floating platform, flying trains and a huge area of space where all of this could fit I was waiting for the train to arrive and when it arrived it was so fast that i fell to the ground.I looked at the train and it looked like it was designed like a ginger bread cookie. I thought about how i could get inside the decorated train but saw no way into it and decided to wait for the next.

After waiting a bit the dream shifted. I was now in my house. I was inside a room and someone was talking to me as they held onto me. I got the impression that the thing holding onto me was Chuckie in the dream. It kept giving me orders as if the situation was now a life and death game where I had to comply. All of this was obviously a dream so i decided to just sit down and wait for it to disappear.Which it did.

The scene than changed again and now i was watching a episode of the Simpsons with my dad. The characters in the show were slowly disappearing and apparently were all becoming angels and going to heavens. It ended thankfully but than the talking doll came back. My dad hit the doll and told me to follow him upstairs. I followed him up into my room and the doll followed. But it changed into a creepy floating zombie girl.

My dad was fighting it in my room and i wanted to help him out. I thought about how pink was my favorite color and how funny it was that others saw it as a astral parasite repellent. I used the pink barrier to protect Kiro in a old dream and decided to use it to protect my dad."Dad! Should i use the pink barrier move?" I asked. "Yeah! Hurry up and use it!" said my dad. I used both my hands to put my dad around the barrier and the girl screamed. It was like defeating a boss in a video game. My dad was attacking and i was protecting.

When the girl was defeated she disappeared and so did my dad. The pink barrier was still present but when i tried to put it away it burst into tiny pink flames around the room. It changed from pink to blue than pink again.I thought about how pretty the flames danced on the floor and than the dream shifted. I was now sitting on my bed with my nephew and older sister. She offered me a yellow frosted slice of pie. I ate it and said it was the best cake pie ever. My nephew laughed and said it wasn't cake even though it sort of looked like a cake mixed with a pie. After that my nephew changed into a baby and my sister was going to change his diaper. Than i woke up.

Waffle Rage

Since I was tired of my cousin waking me up just so she could continue with her waffle addiction I shouted at her. She was eating my waffles again and they were almost finished. My parents were in the living room and told me that i needed to calm down. I didn't want to calm down though and hit her. She tried hitting me back and as we fought i realized there was a point where i felt overcome with the feeling of not being able to fight. Even the motion and moves i did said it was a dream.

I was happy with this and decided to use this as a way to get out my anger on my two cousins. I would have enjoyed it more if this was a shared dream and i could beat them up. I started fighting with the youngest cousin who was the one eating my waffles. I punched,kicked,tried to push her into the oven, and hit her with a stapler. As I started punching her again there was a point where she started punching quickly and said she was going to fight harder now. I lost the ability to fight at that point and was confused. I stopped for a bit and watched as she tried to punch. But she did not hit me.

I regained my strength again and kicked her into the air and started hitting her again until she disappeared. I was happy but than my brother walked downstairs with a plate of waffles. I was long gone. My rage skyrocketed. I ran downstairs and could feel the sensation that my cousins were in the room. I ran to the room and saw both cousins. The waffle monster was present. I slammed the waffles on her plate onto the floor with my hands than ran back upstairs laughing. The oldest cousin came upstairs into the living room because she wanted to fight for her sister. I was ready to fight that trader.

I started punching her and kicking her and managed to throw her off a bit. But than she started throwing punches at me. I couldn't move my right arm and i suddenly felt overcome with weakness. "Why is my right arm stuck to my back!? and how come this feeling keeps coming back?...My urge to fight is way stronger..." I thought.She laughed a bit and said her and her sister are leaving now.(The oldest already moved out and the youngest is leaving this week) As they were happily leaving i lunged at the oldest again. She pointed at me and started skipping an laughing. Than a upbeat country song of a lady started playing. I managed to push her on the porch but than the dream ended and i woke up.

Conclusion- I'm way better at fighting to protect and with love in dreams than with pure rage. :/ No more rage venting in dreams for me.

Laying in bed, I'm partially aware of some outdoor scene at CSU, as well as my body laying in bed. I can see both scenes, and know that the outdoor scene is just a dream. I focus on the outdoor scene where my friend is standing far away across a few benches and trees. As I continue to pay attention to the dream, I am suddenly in the dream fully. It feels a bit unstable, like I could wake up at any moment. I call out to my friend, and he responds just like he does while in the waking world. I walk over to him, but he doesn't have a whole lot of other responses in this dream character. I talk to him a bit, and he doesn't answer at all, he just looks at me blankly for a bit and starts to turn away. I know it's a dream, so I decide that maybe his role is just long distance shout-greetings. I walk about 30 feet away and yell out to him again. He responds as usual. That definitely appears to be the case here. I yell out various versions of 'hey! and hello!' and get a great genuine seeming response each time. Just a little weird how repetitive it is.

Bored with his limited responses, I go into a nearby building, which turns into a clothing store. Not interested much in buying clothing, especially not in a dream, I instead try to find some girls to talk to. There are a lot of girls in this store, but they are all ignoring me and walk away as I walk up to them, even as I say 'hello'. I go up to one of them and step in front of her so she has to see me and tell her that her scarf is pretty awesome because it's the best color blue that exists. She smiles, thanks me and turns away. I still know it's a dream, and decide that this must be some sort of belief I have about people that doesn't seem to be helping with anything. If this is indeed a belief I have on some level, I am now determined to get rid of it.

Suddenly, the dream changes completely, and seems completely real. I forget that I'm dreaming. A girl gets on my shoulders and I give her a piggy back ride. I don't know where, I just walk as we talk to each other. She sounds nice, but I have no idea who she is. Eventually, we reach a large room where lot of people are sitting on the floor. I set her down and we both sit on the floor as a video is played on the wall in front of everyone.

*Had some troubles with sleeping that night. Happens to me regularly, although it usually lasts for 10 - 40 minutes before I fall asleep, but sleepless nights like that happen. I have fallen asleep at about 6:30 o'clock. I recall two dreams. One was a nightmare.*

First dream

I was sitting with a girl I once was friends with, now were just passing acquaintances. We were seating near the table. I was sitting against the white, newly built wall. I think she looked a bit better in that dream. She had brown hair reaching her shoulders, and she was wearing glasses, and light-blue shirt. She had a bit pale carnation, as always. She looked happy, but I was suspicious, feeling that there is something wrong.

Second dream - DILD

I was back at primary school. My body was changed to how it was back then. We were playing a game with teachers. Some of students got the nails, and the rest had balloons. The goal was to keep the balloon as long as you can. I was holding the nail. I looked at the school entrance, and saw a suspicious looking boy, wearing a purple jacket and a black cap. I punctured one of the balloons and went upstairs. There was a teacher waiting near a class. Brunette, tall woman after her forties. I was going into the class, turned around and saw that boy again. I was frightened, and tried to run to the teacher, as she could help me.
Suddenly I realise that it's just a dream. I forced myself to come closer to the boy, and face my fear. As I came closer, my body felt more numb. When I finally reached him, he made a wicked smile, and everything turned black.
I woke up in my bed, shaking in fear. I couldn't overcome the fear, even if it had the most ridiculous form I've ever seen in a nightmare. I tried to DEILD, but I couldn't fall asleep until I stopped shaking.

I'm in my bedroom, sitting at the floor at the bottom of my bed with my pillow. Strange mites start to come out of the pillow and I wake up.

[I perform a cheeky DEILD, visualising myself again with the pillow (but without the mites, I didn't like them )]

I'm back in the dream on the floor with my pillow. Thankfully there are no more mites. I look at my palms and indeed they look strange, but I can hardly see them because it's dark - I feel I need some light to help stabilise the dream.
I feel anxious, though I try to stay calm, breath deeply and focus on the surrounding environment but it doesn't really help.
I let myself float up to a standing position in order to walk to the light switch. When I see it, I remember from previous experience that switches don't tend to work in dreams, so I calmly speak "light on" and indeed the bedroom light does come on, albeit dimly. Unfortunately it isn't light enough to see my palms properly - I wake up quite quickly after that.

[Upon waking I attempt an SSILD but fail - I can't get comfy and I can't get back to sleep for about an hour anyway. It might be to do with the alcohol drinking during festivites, even though I hadn't drunk anything the day of this dream.]

This morning I tried to use a lucid dreaming app on phone , with earphones on.
It worked like this: I set the time, and after 30 minutes It will start to play a soundtrack that reminds me that I'm dreaming , I supposed to be dreaming when this soundtrack start.
It was harder to fall asleep with earphones. So I was toss and turn and toss and turn and toss and turn and toss and turn and toss and turn and toss and turn and toss and turn and ...
Then I lost my lucidity , had some hypnagogic imagnary , and then paralysis started to kick in slowly , the noise became louder , and louder , and my body became numb and more numb.
Then When the noise achieved its highest point , I felt like if gravity turned off
And that my body became nothing, I was floating in my room.
I tried to AP, but I knew it failed and that its just a dream.
I moved out of bed and falled off from bed.
I face facing the ground with some pieces of clothes.
I stuck here like that , my legs were broken weirdly, buit I didnt felt it .
Then I used my imagination to roll out and so I did now I'm standing , all normal.
I done a hand rc My hands just dissapeared so I was sure.
I was going outside , my mom told me that she's going so I said "me too".
Then Just before I leaved the dream falled apart and I woke up
just a minute before the app started the soundtrack
.....................................................................................
Not a big success, but after months I finally had one.

I seem to, ever so slowly be getting back on my game. My recall was sour last night, but in terms of lucidity, I was right on the money.

I started to become lucid when I looked at myself in the mirror. I seemed to have the saggy, wrinkled body of an old person. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I looked away and looked back. I looked mostly normal but had little star stickers all over my body.

I questioned if I might be dreaming and did a nose pinch RC. Yeah, I could breathe, but not very well. I decided to look around for other clues to the state of reality that I was in. I walked around the house, everything was normal, not a hair out of place. My mom was the only other one home, and she asked me if I had recently seen her car keys.

I was still tackling the puzzle of my reality. I went outside and saw a green 50's pickup truck and a very odd orange sports car in our drive. This didn't seem too weird or dreamlike. There weren't any huge planets or multiple suns, though leaves on the tree in the front yard should have been a dead giveaway. I repeated the nose pinch RC. Still confusing results. I thought that maybe I wasn't pinching hard enough. I pinched as tight as I could, and I could still breathe a little.

I made my way back inside, and looked down at myself. I was still shirtless and covered in star stickers. My mom was still looking around for her keys. There was a green truck in our drive. I finally came to and became lucid. I manifested a white tank and thought to remove all the stickers and started to head outside. My mom asked where I was going. I told her that I was dreaming, and that I had to go. She followed out the door and yelled to me that the last time that I said I was dreaming, I had left her alone. She said that she needed her car keys and a hair tie, and she seemed sort of irritated.

"Okay, Look! This is my dream. You don't seem to get that." I put my hand behind my back then held it out with a black hair tie in it. "Here's your hair tie." I put my hand behind my back and thought of car keys. I held out a key in my hand. "Here are your keys." I then put my hand behind my back a third time. "And here's a book, I heard it's a good long read that will keep you busy for awhile." I handed her a thick beige paperback novel with a blue rectangle on the cover. She seemed really happy to receive these items.

Yeesh. Dream characters can be so annoying.

I got down to business. I thought that I should perhaps find Manei and talk to her. I got some good lucidity going. Then I got the dream ending feeling. I knelt down in the grass and tried to hang on to the dream, but it didn't do me much good. I woke up.

The thing that I have come to notice more and more about my lucidity is that it is not particularly dependent on how many reality checks or mantras I've been doing lately. Heck, it doesn't even appear to be very dependent on things such as bedtime or the day's activities. (That's not to say that these things don't impact it.) This could explain why on nights that I charge in, Mantras-A-Blazin, I get nowhere. And on other nights where I don't even give a crap, I can wind up with a rather long and effective lucid.

Instead, it seems to rely to a degree on simply being in the correct mindset for lucid dreaming. I can't really put my finger on what it is, because I only have a rough idea what I am trying to explain. But I do know that it is something akin to mindfulness. In essence, I need to be mindful of my true reality, that I am laying in bed and that what is occurring is a product of thoughts.

I've also found out how goals can be a little finicky, especially when you're not working with perfect lucidity. I've got quite a list of goals, and I've been completing them all out of order. It's best to just pick one (or at the very most, two) goals to focus on per night. I've also found that visualizing completing the goal is rather pointless because it is guaranteed that they way you complete the goal in the dream is going to be vastly different from what you imagined.

The mental state that I am trying to achieve, in general can be a little bit tricky. Staying away from tv/movies/computer games seems to help with my mindfulness. Drawing or writing seems a good way to organize thoughts. Meditation seems a step in the right direction, but overdoing it can throw me off. Same goes for Mantras.

The hardest part about this is falling asleep. I can charge in hardcore and try mantra myself to sleep, but that seems fruitless. I can just throw in the towel and just allow myself to think about random stuff, and that's about as useful as it sounds. I guess I have to go back to my old tactic of the 'cut off' technique.

I am also experimenting with polished stones and crystals that have been sitting in my drawer for years. Some people might see that as a wonderful idea, and others may see it as quack new-age spirituality. I made a small crystal grid back before Christmas, and constructed it around the idea of lucid dreaming. I'd also like to try placing crystals under the pillow or bed-frame. The only way I can really know if this is crap or not is to try it out myself.

In other news, my friend S made me a new avatar picture. I will be using his. I like it.

I had a short dream fragment to start. I was just promoted as a new moderator of DreamViews. I was to be in charge of chat, and my title on my profile was "The Nicest Mod". *wink wink nudge nudge*

---

I was at my college, trying to get a 71 bus back to my dorm. I jumped on the first bus I could find, and an old friend T was there. We talked for a bit, until I realized that I was on a 72 bus instead. I got out at the next stop, and I was in this suburban area that kind of looked like the neighborhood I grew up in. I saw my friend M, so i asked if he saw a 71 bus. He ran around the corner of the block where there was another 72 bus parked. He looked down the street, and then said that a 71 had just left. We decided it was best to just walk.

---

I was back at my high school, in one of the old classrooms. Most of the people from my graduating class were there, as well as a few younger kids who looked to be in second grade. They were all working hard to make a rope out of beads so they could escape out the second floor window. Just then, a teacher looked in through the window in the door, saw what we were doing, and came in and yelled at us. Then the scene kind of restarted. This time, I helped them tie some of the beads together, and we finally had a long enough rope to get out. Unfortunately, the teacher came in and busted us yet again.

The scene restarted again. This time, I was counting the seconds until the teacher would show up. I tried to warn everyone that the teacher would be coming, but I had something in my mouth and throat that made me unable to say anything. I started banging on my desk and motioning towards the seat. My friend M realized what I was doing, and yelled for everyone to sit down. Everyone rushed to their seats and looked like they were behaving. We waited for about a minute, but the teacher never even walked by. Everyone got back up and went back to work. One girl asked me why I thought that the teacher was coming. I told them that I had just kind of sensed it, since I had had this dream multiple times before.

I thought of what I was saying, and then it occurred to me that this was a dream. Just then, everyone rushed to their seats again, and the teacher walked in. She lectured us for a little bit, but then yelled at one of the students who didn't address her as "ma'am". She treated us like little kids, and then she decided to give us a quiz on "10 differences between birds and humans". By this point, I had had enough. I raised my hand.

"Yeah, can I ask a question?"
There was a collective gasp from everyone in the classroom, and a slight murmur of fear.
"Well, what is it?"
I did a quick nose plug RC to make sure I was really dreaming before I dropped the bombshell. "What exactly is the point of this?"
There was another loud gasp from the class. This made me feel like more needed to be said, since it was obvious this teacher had been abusing the students into submission, so no one had the backbone to stand up to her.

"Why do you think you can drag us - students who graduated from this school almost three years ago - back here and force us to listen to your second grade lessons?"
The gasps of surprise changed to shouts of "Yeah", and "That's true!" I felt powerful, like I was about to start a revolution.
"And furthermore, how can you punish us for doing the right things wrong, and punish us for doing the wrong things right?"
Even in the dream, I knew this comment made zero sense, but it made the class go crazy. They were just about ready to burn the witch, basically. The teacher was furious and stormed out of the classroom to the applause of the class.

I figured one coup was enough for today, so I decided to actually get some stuff done. I thought of the TOTMs and remembered the coal task, although I thought it required giving the coal to a little kid. I reached in my pocket for coal, but I couldn't find any. I affirmed to myself that there was coal in my other pocket, but I couldn't find it there either. After two or three attempts, I realized that I was saying the words, but still had some doubt as to if it would happen or not. Once I did an RC and reminded myself that I was dreaming, I patted my pockets and felt a hard lump in my right pocket. I reached in and pulled out a lump of coal wrapped in wax paper. It had icing on the top, which made it look like a cupcake, but I scraped it off as best as I could. I looked for the younger kids that were in our classroom, but all of them were gone. I walked out into the hallway, but it was empty.

I walked outside into the courtyard. There were two kids on a miniature golf cart driving towards me. I stop them and tell them that I have a present for them. They seem excited, but when I pulled the coal out of my pocket, they seemed almost scared of it. They threw the cart in reverse and drove backwards until they hit a tree. I walked over and placed the coal on the dashboard of the cart and walked away. They drove forward for about 30 feet until they hit a bump. The cart rolled over and both of the kids fell out. I wasn't sure if I should go help them, but I saw a man (supposedly their dad) laughing and taking pictures with his phone. I lost lucidity at this point, and soon woke up.

Partially due to technical issues, mostly due to laziness and a lack of time I procrastinated posting this dream.

In the dream I became lucid and had to struggle with trying to control the dream and flying for a moment, then I managed to get through a window and I fly up into a beautiful blue sky, then I saw myself from above and zoomed out further, somewhat like in the game Spore. The dream felt rather awesome. Then I found myself walking on some water and wanted to fly higher, but then I realized that the water was just a metaphor or the highest plane I could move up to at that time.

1. I was inside of the pantry room of what looked like to be my house. In the pantry, the walls were white and the floor was covered with white tile. As I was looking at the food and all of the choices I had I thought to myself, "You know, this looks very familiar. Well of course it looks familiar because this is my pantry." I then became aware, but I didn't really evaluate my surroundings. The thought that I could be dreaming crossed my mind, but surely, why would I be dreaming if I was in my pantry? Irrational thought like that is what stopped me from being lucid this time.
I remember looking at all the food. At one point I had a cylindrical container in my hand, and I was unscrewing the top of it off, and then after I got it off I put it on. I put the container back at the shelf and looked around some more. I still thought that something wasn't right. I realized how small the pantry was, and how there was so much food in here that I didn't remember buying. I guess you could say I was on the edge of being lucid, so semi-lucid.

2. I was inside of a restroom at school, except for it seemed to be a unisex restroom and there were 2 other girls in the restroom with me. I remember how awkward it felt, taking a crap and two girls are sitting next to you out in the open on other toilets. The other girls were taking a crap too. As I sat there in silence, and once I finished my deed, I went to grab some toilet paper. I saw that there wasn't much left so I grabbed what was left and tried to use it to the best of my ability. It was no use, because it was not enough. One of the girls saw my struggle and said, "Do you need more toilet paper? I can give you some." The other next to her said, "No, don't give him tissue paper, that's weird." Contrary to how the girl felt about it, the first girl then asked for my email, to send me the toilet paper. "Ok, my email is [email protected]" I told her. She got it down.
(will finish later because no time.)

I found myself place in the garage with the lights off, trying to get the music on there to work properly. However it wouldn't work. then out of no where the lights turn on by themselves and I began to get this strange feeling like I was not the only one in the garage. Then the chair started flashing frequently, while I began to feel weightless. The sensation got stronger till I was beginning to float up from the ground and felt as if there was some force. That's when I became lucid due to the circumstances and realize I was floating.

I had some degree of control over it now and made myself stay in mid air. I then roared similar to dragon ball z to see the extent of how much control I had over it. I could hear my screaming echo from the house in till I lost the force that was holding me up and quickly drop to the floor. Hitting my head first knock the poor amount of lucidity I had. I then got up and tried to make the music come on again, to where it finally work. Not long after that I have an FA. Lucidity Time: 6 seconds.

Wrong Guide

I was with my nephew and another small child in my room. They were a lot smaller in the dream though. As I was trying to get the video game started I looked back at the kids and saw the other kid was on top of my nephew. I told him he was squishing my nephew and moved him. My nephew was trying to breathe when suddenly my nephews head fell off.

I knew that this couldn't really be happening after that happened. There wasn't even blood. It just looked like a dolls head rolling off it's body. It than reappeared in my room that was now very small. My dad was nearby talking to someone and just for fun I told him that we were in a dream. He was like "Oh, than that would mean were sharing a dream. That's nice." I went to sit on my bed when suddenly I was flipped over and couldn't move on my bed. All I saw was the ceiling.

I heard a deep voice near me of a guy asking "do you remember who I'am? Do you recognize my voice?" I told him it sounded familiar but I can't remember who he was. I tried so hard to look and saw a tall girl and a tall guy.I didn't know what they wanted but I broke loose and ran out the room. I appeared to be in another house now and there was a small child who was drawing.I don't remember if I drew with him/her but I left the room afterwards.

I felt like my goal was to look for Dawn so i was going to look for him. When I ran and jumped on the window sill a little boy came out of a room behind me and held out a coloring pencil and papers with writing on them.I took it than started calling for Dawn. But I lost my voice after trying to call him too loudly. I waited than ask a girl that came in if she could call for Dawn for me. She didn't seem interested so I ran and jumped through the window. I was now in a suburban type of area that was different from where I live.

I ran to look for Dawn but I flew to the top of apart of the building and got stuck to it. I wasn't going to give up so I broke free and started looking around outside a huge grey church building. I saw lots of guys in suits around but no Dawn. I was dissapointed at my searching skills.The dream scene changed after that and I was now in a table with my family. I was eating soup with them when I noticed something black coming out of the soup." Dad...What's this black thing in my soup?" I asked him." Oh, I must have let my watch slip in there." I kept eating the soup until I found another watch but silver and smaller in the soup.

"Dad!How do you drop in two of your watches in my soup by mistake!?"I asked him. 'Wait...What's this?" I said pointing to something in the soup. ' Looks like some of my hair got in the soup" my dad said to me. I was ready to throw up. The scene changed again and I was now eating at a different table. I felt like Dawn was near me but he wasn't paying attention to me. On my plate was raw meat and white flower. I was eating it but in a disgusted way. I had a feeling that I wanted to run away from this place. Than I woke up.
My original goal was to find Kiro. But I forgot. Maybe the guy with the deep voice was kiro. : P

The Huge Pool

I was inside my house and my dad asked me if I wanted to go to family dollar with him. I said yeah and soon we walked into a store. I was looking at chocolate cookies that looked like bears. I wanted to eat them so badly. But I decided to go look for my dad instead of getting the cookies. As I was walking a lady with a cart almost bumped into me. Stuff fell down from its place but I didn't feel like picking it up.

My dad eventually found me and told me to wait for him at the door spot. As I waited I saw a lady opening a door for a girl in a wheel chair. When the door was opened I could see a huge pool and a huge,wide slide where water came down and people could slide from it into the pool. My cousin was swimming in it and I asked her how she could swim in a pool during winter. She said that the water was warm enough to be in it.

I felt a cool breeze pass by, than put my hand in the water. It felt like underneath there was a heating system that kept the water hot/warm. I layed down in the water and started to relax. I noticed I was wearing a swimsuit now but my top part was off. I was confused at when this happened but just lay in the water slowly falling asleep.

After relaxing a bit I walked away, with different clothes on, and saw a boy jump from a high place. He landed flat on his face. I thought about how stupid it was that the boy did that and told him he shouldn't be doing that. But he ignored me than ran away. I kept walking and stopped in front of two shirtless guys sitting down and asked them what they thought about kids jumping from high places. I don't think they cared about it though.

I asked how old they were and one of them said 15. I stared at them and noticed that they looked like real people with anime kind of stuff and hair. Than all of a sudden the lights went off and all i saw glowing was the guys face staring at me.Than i felt someone jump on my back and start writing on the back of my neck. The guy got away from me but i chased him around the corner and grabbed the guy. Behind me there was another guy who appeared to be a teacher. He was being jumped by a couple of guys and told them he didn't know for sure if there was a secret hidden within one of the math problems on the test.

House Invasion

I was in my house waiting for my sister to come inside the house. She came in and told me to babysit my nephew since she had to go somewhere. I said okay and was watching my nephew play and run around the house. But as i was following my nephew I noticed the house was slowly becoming different.

I didn't want to stay in the house anymore. I felt like someone or something scary would pop up. When i was walking around I saw a girl near a sink and thought she looked a bit creepy.I don't remember how but at some point I ended up inside a park with my nephew. We were walking around the place and I stumbled upon the actor Jaleel White. Except he was holding a cane for some reason and looked older.

He followed my nephew and I in the park as we walked. While we walked i started singing a song from tarzan called "you'll be in my heart" than asked him if he knew it. He said yeah and someone in the background started to sing too. After that Jaleel started talking about how he did something terrible. He said that he raped a girl once and felt terrible for what he did. There was a screen around of a anime girl running away from him too. I thought this was weird and didn't comment about it.

I decided to walk back and found packs of gums on the ground of different flavors. I stuffed the strawberry and melon flavors into my mouth and chewed it happily. Than I followed my nephew who was still around back into my house. In the house everything seemed normal until the house started changing like it was a transforming house. Lots of dream characters burst through the door saying it was their territory now.

I grabbed my nephew and ran downstairs with him. When we were walking past the bathroom someone called to me. I walked up to the invisible person and I think we followed him.The house was still changing and according to a dream character that walked up to me whoever got to the last top floor of the house that was now somewhat a apartment building would win the place back.The dream character gave me a pencil and piece of paper and told me to write the secret word that would get me to the top.(Forgot the word)

I tried writing it but the letters seemed to change form. After struggling I managed to write it but nothing much happened. The house only changed a little bit and didn't take me to the very top.So I gave up, flew on a small platform and tried doing a hand stand on it. But than I got bored and jumped off it. Under me I could see Japanese emoticons on a screen. On the wall behind me was a HD T.V showing a little girl's toy commercial about glittery clay dolls that could move. It seemed stupid to me. Woke up after that.
