I am with some friends outside and someone spots a drone hovering low with a giant camera lens on it. I get pissed that the government is spying on us all the time we all flip it off and yell obscenities. After awhile, the drone lands and morphs into a walking robot about 7 feet tall. I suddenly have a machine gun and I begin shooting at the robot putting bullet holes in the chest and head. It topples over with electric sparks. More robots quickly come and I run away as I blast more of them. One of them gets too close and I smash it's face with the but of my rifle. A disconnected robot head comes hovering at from another downed robot and bat it down and stomp on it until it is dead and smashed.

I look around standing near the body of a robot and realize that I made it inside some public building. The entrance way looks a lot like a bank and I can see something like a swat team storming up outside the glass doors. I put one foot on the robot and pose for the media. I know that I will go to jail but I want to make a statement for the rest of the country. I'll be a hero and a martyr.Then it occurs to me that the media is controlled by the state and will not portray me as a hero but more like a terrorist. The swat team points weapons at me and waits for me to come out. I put my gun down and hands and start to come out in surrender. Then, I realize that they too will not be kind to me. They will probably kill me anyway so I may as well run for it. I pause for a second contemplating my next move. Under my breath I calmly mutter, "Fuck it." I pick up my rifle and run for another exit.

I am outside running someplace downtown and suddenly it's dark. I am with others fighting along side me. I try to think where we can hide. Do we have a base? No. I just started this spur of the moment. Every looks to me as their leader. I try to think this out but two robots come looking like they have Guy Fawkes masks on in mockery. They over take me. At this point I become dimly aware that I am dreaming. And force the dream to have a different outcome. Mulligan. There is a blip and I am back just before they get me. This time I have my machine gun and I shoot them both down. A third figure comes out of the darkness. He looks like sometime organic and monstrous like something out of a video game. (I really can't recall exactly what it looks like anymore. I didn't write this down when I woke up.) I can't seem to hit it with my machine gun so I summon a large shotgun by reaching to my side with my right hand and expecting something to be there. Without looking, I vividly feel the gun materialize in my hand. Then, I easily blast the creature in the face.

I either lost lucidity here or I briefly woke up or I guess both.

Now I am on some boat docks with a group of American rebels. I think we could take several of the smallest boats we can fit into to avoid detection and try to make it Cuba. Perhaps there we can seek asylum. If not we will just hide out for a while. I choose something like a John Boat and get it. As we speed off into the darkness, I wake up.

I have been dreaming about boat docks a lot lately.

I was on dreamviews or a similar site looking at a random members post. He used his dreams to create a complex world. Somehow, it seemed like his goal was to make it to a mountain outside of the city to fulfill some task. Next thing I know, inexplicabily, a bird popped out of the screen and started chirping some random stuff, something about Macy's. I laughed and thought "What the heck!". After a couple seconds it clicked that I was dreaming and should go about my goals. I walked out of the computer room to find myself in the hall of my grandma's house. I used the behind the hand trick to summon a dc but couldn't feel I hand this time. I turned around and saw a dog I used to have and then my sister. Since I saw my dog first I figured I had to hug it for Totm. I went up to him and hugged him. He licked my face and looked like he was happy to see me. I didn't really talk to my sister, I just told her I had to go. Since I was inside, I found a good opportunity to walk through some walls. I walked through the wall of the master bedroom to try to go outside. Somehow, I wasn't sure if I did it correctly even though I successfully walked through it. Luckily I ended up in the family room. From there I walked through the closed sliding glass door, making sure I kept my eyes open. I was successful once again and ended up in the backyard. I jumped up to fly. My goal was to go to the beach. After a couple of seconds, I found the beach but had a tough time lowering myself and landing on it. On the way down, I saw a 3 headed dc trying to talk to me. I woke up.

I went to sleep at about 01:30 last night and woke up at 07:15, I decided to get a last hour of sleep from 07:30 to 08:30 before I properly got up for sixth form. I had no dreams before this hours sleep and in the sleep I got an LD and completed a task of the month!

Dream 1

I am in a kayak in the middle of a lake and its once again night time, I'm paddling about and water starts to come inside the kayak. This is where I become lucid and nose plug. It is a dream and I think of what I want to do, I remember thinking of trying the TOTM, I was in the middle of a lake and round this lake was plenty of sand to write my name in. Also I thought I'd attempt the prime minister one after, I couldn't remember what the other two were.

I was then on the shore, behind the sand was a woodland area, it was dark so it was kinda spooky. I knelt down and started writing my name. I wrote 'Ryan' however it turned upside down, it was confusing. So I tried it again, I wrote something before 'Ryan' this time, I'm struggling to recall what it was I think it was 'My name is Ryan.' Anyway this time it worked. Mission accomplished it was time to move onto my next goal.

Now it was time to try and summon David Cameron. I thought to myself, when I turn around David Cameron will walk out of the woods. I was standing just before the entrance to the woods. I turned round and nothing was there. I noticed a note on the tree, like Slenderman haha. I walked up to it and it was a doodle which said 'David Cameron is not here you silly SKET' LOL! This made me laugh. That is the last I recall.

Taking a break from the SSILD challenge (mainly because I fell asleep last night before I could do the cycles, but I still had a LD) to share this amazingly terrifying yet still pretty awesome lucid nightmare I had last night. Probably one of the most memorable dreams I've had in years.

The dream started with kind of a commercial for Home Depot talking about all of the services they offer, like free delivery and haul-away, and "the knowledge and expertise to get things done" (not sure if that was actually there, but I know that's on the real commercial...). The final scene of the commercial showed the parking lot of Home Depot. In a very cinematic transition, the logo, phone number, and other info at the end of the commercial faded out as I walked towards the store. I was heading there to get my dad something for his birthday. The store wasn't like a normal Home Depot where everything was inside. Instead, all the products were outside under different tents that said "Hardware" and "Plumbing" and all the different departments at Home Depot. I went over to the hardware tent to find something that my dad would like.

I walked through a few aisles until I finally got to the back of the tent where I saw my mom and dad also browsing. "Great," I thought, "now my dad will see what I'm getting for him." I went up and talked to them, and we talked as we walked down another aisle or two. I then realized that the two of them were handcuffed together. "What are the handcuffs for?" I asked. Neither of them answered my question, but instead they walked away like they didn't even hear it. As I looked around, I realized that all of the couples were handcuffed together. I didn't understand what this was for, but it didn't seem to be right (or legal), so I decided to investigate.

I snuck in through a large sliding overhead door into the employees only area. Inside was this big room with several cargo storage containers in a row towards this larger part of the room that extended out like a very large warehouse. I decided to get on top of the containers so I could get a better idea of where I was. I got on top of the first one, and then ran from one to the next towards the large room. After about 7 or 8 of these containers, I heard this robotic male voice say something like "Crushers Initiated." I saw in front of me a large spiked crusher flattening each cargo container. I assumed that the cargo containers would be moving towards the crusher at a slow pace, which would give me plenty of time before I had to get off. Then I saw a second crusher crush the next container, and soon more and more crushers worked their way towards me, quickly picking up speed. I turned around and ran as fast as I could from one container to the next trying to outrun the crushers. I jumped off the last one just in time and fell onto a large conveyer belt. I heard the robotic voice say "You're not getting away that easily." I then saw a crusher at the end of the conveyer belt, and I was rapidly speeding towards it. I quickly rolled off the side of the belt before I got crushed. There was then a flashing red light and a siren. I expected people to come after me, so I ran in the first door I could find to get away.

Little did I know that I had just set foot in an elevator. I turned to try to go back out, but the door had closed and locked. I was in this small room, when suddenly the wall opposite the door turned into a large screen. The robotic voice seemed to have a sarcastic, biting tone to it (kind of like a male GladOS) as it said, "I hope you feel proud of yourself. Because of your negligence, 26 people have died." The number 26 appeared in big red numbers on the screen. "Now comes the fun part," the voice continued. "I'm going to ask you simple yes or no questions. Answer any of them right, and I let you go. My sensors can also read your fear, which will cost you dearly." I felt my blood pressure rise, and there was suddenly a buzzer as the elevator car quickly dropped. After a while it stopped, and the voice said. "We're now 10 floors down. I'd advise you to keep your cool, as there are only 100 floors." The first question came on the screen. I don't even think I got a chance to look at the question before the ceiling started to close in above me. I then heard the buzzer again as the car dropped again. This time it took me much longer to get under control as the ceiling continued to come down. I was pretty much on all fours before I pressed my answer on the screen.

The ceiling stopped. The elevator screeched to a halt. "I did it," I thought. The voice then started to laugh. "That is so incredibly wrong," it said. The entire screen went red. "And now, due to your ignorance, 64 people have died. I hope you're happy, you incompetent fool." The buzzer sounded and the car started dropping again. "He's playing with me," I thought, "This can't be happening." I had a whole psychological battle with myself for about 15 seconds as the car continued to descend. "I have to get out." I decided to try to wake myself up by blinking really hard and willing my eyes open. Then I realized, "Wait, if I'm lucid enough to know I can wake up, then I'm lucid enough to control this dream."

"Wait, what?" the voice said. I felt this surge of power go through me. I was the one in control now. With heroic strength I pushed the ceiling back up. "Stop, what are you doing?" I reared back with all the power I could muster and punched through the door of the elevator. The doors flew back as sparks flew. I ran into the hallway, where there were now flashing red lights and a loud siren. I ran down the halls (which looked kind of like the halls of the Death Star) towards any exit I could find. The computer wasn't giving up without a fight, though. Two turrets suddenly came out of the walls and started shooting at me. I watched as the bullets bounced off of me. I was invincible, and there wasn't anything that could stop me. I took out all of my anger and rage against this demon computer as I punched the turrets so hard that they sailed down the hallway and exploded. I ran further until these two electrical nodes came out of the walls and shot electricity at me. This time it didn't so much hurt as somewhat paralyze me. I fought against the paralysis enough to punch the wall next to me. I hit so hard, all of the electricity in the entire hall started to falter. The lights kind of flickered as I ran down the rest of the hallway.

I finally got back to the room I started in with the crushers and cargo containers. As I ran towards the open overhead door, I heard the voice say, "Lockdown in 3, 2, 1..." The door quickly closed just before I could get under it. I punched one last time, knocking the door off of its tracks and leaving me enough of a hole to escape. I continued to run, not stopping for a second to look back. The tents that were outside were gone - it was now just an empty lot. I ran for the far end of the parking lot, which had a hill that led up to the highway. The "adrenaline" started to wear off. I started to feel less rage and need to trash everything and more calm and happy that I escaped. I ran towards the hill and saw these rusty metal rungs leading up the hill. I climbed these until I got to the top of the hill, and then the scene went white and I woke up.

So yeah, that's probably the first time I've had a nightmare have a happy ending. It also seemed to end almost perfectly too, with a great sense of closure. I should write a book...

Finally broke that dry spell! This was a really fun one. Emotions got the best of me at the end, but it was great while it lasted.

Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

Lucid #113: Woodrow the Giant

I'm in a first-person shooter video game where I'm entering an airport. One of the people I'm with slips some kind of blaster into my pocket as we're walking through airport security. Won't that set off the metal detectors? I think of all this as just a game, though, so I give it a try.

An alarm sounds, surprisingly soft but unmistakable. I keep walking, just in case they think it was someone else behind me. As I head into a broad, bustling concourse, I see a few security guys heading toward me from different directions. They're dressed in plain clothes, which makes them seem less official and more menacing. I change directions and they change with me. I know I'm caught. One guy has his hand on his right hip like he's ready to pull a gun, so I decide to be first. I pull the banana-shaped blaster out of my jacket pocket and start shooting. My first shot catches the guy right in the chest and he crumples to the floor.

I immediately realize that this isn't a video game, but a dream. I remember goals: meet Art at the Alamo and Tasks of the Month. Since this is already a video game scenario, I think that it'll be easy to pull Art in. "[NewArtemis], I know you're right there behind me." No response. By now the other security guys have drawn their guns, although they oddly have not fired yet.

I shoot one more of them and he collapses to the ground. Still, nobody returns fire. "[NewArtemis], a little help!" A woman walking nearby turns around. She's wearing jeans and has dirty blonde hair, not at all the usual hair color for Art's DC, but it's definitely her!

"Hey there!" I say, thinking that it'll be fun to have her take care of the last of these security guys. But when I look for them, they're gone -- everyone is walking through the airport concourse like nothing has happened. I turn back to Art. "You dyed your hair...?" I half-comment, half-ask. (I sincerely doubt this.)

"Hey," she says, with a wry half-smile, ignoring the whole hair thing.

We hug and I say, "Okay, that's Basic. You feel like punching Woodrow Wilson?" (Advanced Task of the Month.)

She nods. "I'd love to punch that guy." (We have never discussed Woodrow Wilson, so I'm likely projecting here.)

I glance around for Wilson. "Let's do it," I say to Art, and then call out to the crowd: "Woodrow Wilson! I know you're here!" We walk along the concourse for perhaps twenty feet when I spot a huge man to our left. Somehow, even with everything around him brightly lit, he's hidden in shadow. The man is at least ten feet tall, probably closer to twelve, and he's flanked by two normal-sized men who don't look like they're doing anything in particular.

"Is that you, Woodrow Wilson?" As soon as I say this, the man's face is illuminated and it's definitely Wilson -- long, expressionless face, glasses, the whole bit. Weirdly, he's dressed in the style of a Catholic priest with a cassock and clerical collar. He strides toward us quickly and moves up very close to crowd me.

Wilson doesn't attack but just stands there towering over me, no expression on his face, his eyes unfocused. I've lost some emotional control and I'm starting to feel fearful. Art circles around on my right, grimacing a little, her hands balled into fists. She can help me, but I know that for Task I know that I need to hit the guy. I try to calm myself down while imagining myself leaping up and doing some kind of superman punch. I'm freaking out a little bit, though, and the dream falls apart.

i ate sweets and my tooth fell out. I was upset that i need to go to dentist, count fingers....felt relief .About half a minute i rememberd the TOTM, and then decided to hug somebody. It was night. I saw a company of young women. They came and i hug one of them. The reaction was normal, like we are friends, but the girl was pregnant...i hug the other girl but she was pregnant too. I didn't like it and i became to loose control and woke up. I felt real but decided don't move to have DEILD.

DEILD I was in the same place, looked at my hand - there were so many fingers, that i needn't to count. I desided to eat fireworks. I went to the table - there were a lot of things, and fireworks too. I took one, the size of my fist. But i couldn't swallow it - it was too big. I took small little firework - like candy and swallow it. Then i tried to shoot it from the fingers, and in some time i had small sparks I tried to make sparks from the mouth. I could and the sparks was bigger. I opened the door in the wall intended a volcano behind it. Made a step and there was big town under the big volcano. There was big black smoke column. I began to climb the volcano but there was a splash of lava and when it touch the ground it turns into red squirrels!!!! There were a lot of red squirrels and red kittens around me!!! I felt that something took me into real and awoke.

I was walking down a road with my friend, then my brothers friend walks out of his house wearing a full football kit - including shinpads and boots. Me and my friend started laughing at him and we continued walking, we were discussing the Kendrick Lamar concert which we were both going to tomorrow. Then further down along the street, the street started spinning, I thought this was strange so i did the nose plug reality check and i realised I was in a lucid dream.

So i decided that I was going to try and fly into space, i grew some wings and started flying upwards. I kept going and just as I was about to get into space my head started to hurt, i decided that i didnt want to keep going so I dived down into a swimming pool. I wasn't sure what to do now, so then i remembered that i wanted to try and summon a dragon. So I said "when i walk round this corner there will be a dragon."
Then a huge orange dragon came walking around the corner and started breathing fire at me, it told me that his name is Laompy. Slowly, i approached it and it calmed down and stopped breathing fire at me. Quickly, i jumped on Laompy's back and he started to fly around the world with me on his back, it was awesome.

After a while of me flying around on it's back a notification popped up in my sight, it said 'Laompy has a tear in his eye because he is sad that you are about to regain consciousness' I was upset by this message so i gave him a hug and then just after this I woke up. This was one of my favourite dreams that i have ever had.

Went to bed at 2:25 AM (damn novel keeping me reading until the very end!). It took me 24 minutes to fall asleep, with minor awakenings at 4:45, 5:24, and 6:30. I was really restless around 8:30 AM. That was when I decided to do a WILD while half-awake, but I didn't think it was working. In reality, once I gave up I started dreaming.

I was at work. I had my new clear water bottle with me, and at one point I realized there were bubbles in my water. On closer inspection, there were bubbles coming from the bottom of the water bottle. I couldn't see anything that could be causing the bubbles. I showed it to a coworker, who checked her water bottle and found the same thing. We set both bottles down, side by side, and watched the bubbles. I laughed and said it was probably Thor's fault, because gods do this kind of thing, right? I was willing to bet Thor or Odin would pop-up at any minute. My coworker and I went down an access corridor back to the main sales floor. Just inside the door to the sales floor, there was a family with two small kids. I asked if they needed any help since I had a feeling that they were looking for the bathroom, and the woman said that they didn't. Then I told them that this was an employees only area and they would have to leave. The woman gave me a dirty look, and I moved on without checking to see if they left the access corridor. I took a quick glance around the sales floor, then I ducked into another corridor to make my way to the bathroom. It looked nothing like our work bathrooms. The stalls were stainless steel but looked really aged, as if they hadn't been cared for in years. There was dim light coming from a window but no interior lights. I was shocked to find another woman already there. I moved past her, went into a stall, and realized it was too narrow to even turn around. Then I woke up.

At this point, I wanted to try for a DEILD. But I was acutely aware of sweat beads rolling down my nose and the sounds of a garbage truck making its way down the street. Plus I really could not bring myself to re-enter that awful bathroom. I rolled over and figured that I'd probably blown it, but I wasn't willing to give up yet. I watched some of the HI, which reminded me of daisies, then clouds, until a solid image formed that I could interact with…

And the image that came to me was a young Tom Hiddleston with his pre-Thor curly hair. I remembered the task of the month was to hug the first DC you come across, so I told him, "Okay, I'm hanging onto you until I get my chance." He looked pretty confused. And then I realized that I had to engage more of my senses than just sight since I could still hear the damn garbage truck outside, so I went to touch Tom's hair. Actually, I did more than just touch -- I started running my fingers through his curls. Now he was really confused, although I saw the hint of a smile. His hair really wasn't very soft. It was very coarse and felt a little bit like straw, which was not what I expected. But it seemed to do the trick and the dream finally solidified around us. We were in the upstairs hallway, but where there was supposed to be a light fixture, there was a miniature version of the sun. It was way to bright to look at, so I rushed downstairs and outside. The sun was much less intense out here.

I still felt the need to touch things, and the grass seemed like the next best thing. I plopped down on the ground and started rolling around in the grass. Tom stood over me and laughed. Then an animal appeared next to me, and at first I thought it was one of the dogs. Instead, it was a sheep. I got up and plunged my fingers into the sheep's wool, which was really soft. And then, for reasons I couldn't understand, I ended up climbing onto the back of the sheep and riding it like a horse while Tom led the sheep down to the street. Then I directed him to take us to the local park. There was a field we had to cross to get to the park, and the grass kept getting higher and higher until it was brushing my knees. I looked up and saw mountains in the distance behind the houses. "Guess we're not in my neighborhood anymore," I said to Tom and the sheep. I trailed my fingers in the tall grass until I hit something gooey. It was like a little hill of -- cream cheese? Okay, that's weird. Fortunately, I see a nearby stream. I bend down and plunge my fingers into the water to clean them off. The stream becomes more of a fast-moving river with a steep bank, and Tom has to hang onto my feet to make sure I don't get carried away by the rushing water.

We find a bench and sit down. I can feel the hard bench underneath me and realize that I'm pretty much done waiting for this dream to feel real. I tell Tom about how much he means to me, how I started with "The Avengers" and then went back to watch all his movies, then all of the interviews he's done, and how I really appreciate him. He seemed pretty flattered. Then I asked if I could give him a hug and embrace him. At first, he seemed a little stiff, but then I felt his arms close around me. He grabbed my butt and pulled me closer while I rubbed his back.

And then someone rang the doorbell, the dogs started barking and there was no way I could block all of that out to stay in the dream.

So last night I went to sleep at about half 11 and woke up about 04:30 and took the dreamanins supplement and done some MILD while a fell asleep.

Dream 1

I am looking out my bedroom window, it is nigh time and I see these Thunderbird looking planes flying about, they weren't exactly big, couple meters long. I then look down and I see a group of about 10 people from my school all riding skateboards. Wait a minute, why would they be riding skateboards they don't skate? So I nose plug and its a LD! Well I try pushing through the window but I don't get through, so instead I just fly through it. I fly and land next to one of the people. "Ay, you know this is a lucid dream right?" I say
"No it isn't" he replies.
"Oh yes it is" then I proceed to push him over this wall which is about knee height outside my house. He falls over onto his back then I look away. I think of what to do and I decide I want to summon a dragon. I try to imagine a dragon runs round this bend at the end of my street. But it didn't work. So instead I start shouting "AHHHHH DRAGON RUN!" and begin running away in hope that one would appear. Instead all the DCs started running for their life, although I didn't summon the dragon this made me laugh.

Dream 2

I notice something weird, I am standing on this busy main road, facing towards some oncoming traffic. It was once again night time but this city was still very much alive. Bright lights everywhere, there was a bridge which underneath there was a large river, maybe sea. I nose plug and it is a dream. While I am standing on this road I had the idea to push cars off the bridge with my mind. I'm sure I've seen this in a film somewhere. I stand there directly in the middle of this road and focus. I direct with my mind the first car and it comes towards me but I swerve it left and it slams into the railings. I just began to start making cars swerve in all directions causing plenty of crashes. I then start walking up the road and shoot fireballs out of my hand into cars, these fireballs slammed cars backwards, it didn't set them on fire. After I had all this fun I realised it was time to stabilize which I should have really done at the start, I shout clarity now! I don;t notice any changes, I see this window on the bridge which has bullet holes sprayed across it. I walk up to that and take in the details, I put my finger on it and feel the sharp edges. Nothing was really happening, I knew the dream was coming to the end but it didn't really matter. So I started smashing the window to jump off it, I smashed it, looked over the edge and that is the last I recall.

Dream 3

I had to solve a case of why this young girl had been murdered 10 years ago, she was only young at the time and the sister had asked me and Hank from Breaking Bad to solve this mystery. What provoked her to ask was that her husband had been released from jail and she suspected him to be the killer. I remember looking at the paper and seeing the article.

I was then in this field by my house and we had collected all the pieces to the puzzle, we were just searching for the final piece. It was a someones head. I was with my brother and sister and we were digging up all over this field looking for it. Earlier (which I don't remember) we had dug it up and now we were just remembering where it was. Then we finally found it, there was a perfectly cut circle in the grass we lifted it up to see this white emotionless head in there. I pulled it out then this man appeared. He was dressed in all white and took the head from me. I ran after him and pulled it back off him. He gave me a menacing look and my sister shouts "Just give it him!" I wasn't sure but I said "Ok here." I handed him the head and he walks down the road, I follow him and he gives me the head back. He then says "Tell Hank, Tuko has sent you this head" he winked and walked off.

I could see the car Hank was parked in round the corner. I ran to it with the head in my hand. I jumped in and he gave me a cup of tea. We then had all the pieces, we knew what car he drives and the direction the guy walked off in. So we looked up and down my street for the car. The only place where the car was, was at my house. Then I realised. The killer was my mum's boyfriend but he had the power to change identities! I ran in with the tea in my hand, threw it in his face. He looked like my mums boyfriend not 'Tuko', he screamed and I put him into a sleeper hold. My mum understood and said it was the right thing to do.

Dream 4

I was at a pub and people were talking about the EDL doing a march by the pub. They were saying they're racist scum. I didn't remember seeing a march when I came in so I walked out to have a look. They were correct I seen a march with hundreds of people all chanting something. The people next to me were disgusted by them and very angry. They hopped over some railings, ran across this patch of land separating the road the pub was on and the road they were marching on and ran across to punch them. They jumped up onto the railings, punched this guy and fell backwards. I couldn't stop laughing. Then this guy was on a horse and members of the EDL pulled him off and were throwing him round the crowd.

I walked down the road a bit and there was like a barnyard, thousands of people were partying, when I walked through cheers erupted and a cheerleading team jumped out through the barn doors, up on the top level, middle level of this barn singing and dancing. I could not understand what was going on. I pull out my phone to record, I was swapping my phone from camera to camcorder... Then I wake up.

A pretty damn awesome lucid from Monday night; maybe one of my bests, and longest. It felt like it lasted an hour or so, but still I remember all of it

Lucidity: 6/10
Vivacity: 8/10
Control: 8/10

I am lucid, I don't remember anything clear enough before that. I got a "super power"; it's really "just" a "maneuver gear" from AoT (That makes lots of hyphens lol). It's not really a maneuver gear, more like a gun that shoots a wire with a grip at its end.
We're in a ravine, like the on in the late beginning of the lord of the rings, with lava. There's a battle there. I obviously decide to follow the flow of the dream and slice everywhere moving around like I was Spiderman. People fall everywhere.

For some reason I get exiled after the battle, and a helicopter drops me in the ocean. I begin swimming, and instantly, I get to an island. I shot a wire at it and it pulls me all the way there. It's already been a lot of time. I walk all the way to a camp, and somehow I know that it's a "sexy camp" (wut?). A girl in a plane pilot uniform tells me that I'm not admitted in the camp. When I ask her why she blurs and looks away with a smile. Well, maybe it's because mine is too small lol, I think. I go anyways and the guy in charge of the camp tells me it's because my penis is too small (lol, is my self-esteem so little?). Well, it's not erect, that's why, I mumble. He tells me to get it bigger, and I ask a girl to go topless, to "help" me. The guy says that it's ok now.
A map of the island comes to my head and I explain to the guy that I need to cross the island, and ask for some food (I really want to live the dream like in real life, I want to do what I have to do to win this war and not just play around). The guy, who morphed into a woman, tells me that it's gonna be a problem. I actually remember what he said, word for word (that's pretty rare for me) : "We have no food. People are dying one after the other, we don't even have enough food for the dogs". For some reason I get a lot more worried about the dogs than anything else, and run to get them. I get to the place they keep 'em, an area surrounded with trees and bushes, with two crates one next to the other. Two tiny little cats are looking at me; I take 'em both and run away.

I get to the other side of the island almost instantly, the cats became huge dogs, and I'm sleeping on 'em.
I know that this is happening days after I left the village, and I understand that the dream is skipping the less important part of the story, like it would in a regular dream. It's like the lucid would last months, but it's divided in several "sequels", each one being the continuity of the part before.
Amazed, I decide to continue the dream and get going. The map gets back in my head and a line traces my path, it stops in the middle of the ocean, and I end up in a mall, supposedly months later. I'm with a girl, and after 3 minutes of me waiting for something to happen, a guy walks up to me and tells me something about him being our enemy's leader. I get my gun out (the "maneuver gear"), but I switch body with the girl. The guy pushes two guys near us, and they begin attacking us I (the one I was before) use the gun to get the two guys away, and the enemy's leader tries to recruit me (the girl, whose body I'm in). Apparently I can control plants. I get kinda jealous, not that I don't like the gun I have, but I'd like to have an actual power. I don't want to just use one though, cuz that might change the scenario. I run away with a box, and plants follow me. The scene ends here.

I am now undercover, in the middle of an enemy operation. I'm back in my body. We're all laying, most of us have guns. Five dudes get a little closer to the bushes, and cut the throat of three guys. Shit! But they're on my side! I still don't do anything. There still is two other guys that they want to kill. At one point, 6 minutes later or so, a guy jumps out of the bushes; I instantly know that he is part feline, and the time suddenly slows down. I think a second before I decide to shot him. So I do. I just shot the guy in mid air, and he falls on the dude he wanted to kill. Well fuck.
I follow the other at the other side of the bushes (there still is on guy left). On the other side, a guy is hanging in a web. I automatically think of spider man, and to make up the kill that I just did, I use my gun to swing away with the guy that was hanging there.

I'm now with the girl from the mall and lots of other people; we're all united for the final attack. I use my gun to get to a castle/city, and we begin the battle. I swing around slicing people on the city's wall and on stairs, on the other side of the walls.
I wake up soon after that.

So I've decided to do a 30-day challenge of using the SSILD technique. I have experimented with the technique before with somewhat mixed success. So this time I'm going to use nothing but SSILD for the next 30 days and record how many LD's and FA's I get. So here we go:

Day 11

Went to bed late: about 1:00 am. Because of my recent recall drought, I took 3 B-6's before I went to bed. I decided not to turn my alarm on, but because I've been doing this for 10 days now, I naturally woke up after 5 hours, giving me a chance to do the cycles. I woke up about every hour after that, and each time I started the cycles but was unable to complete them. I remember one non-lucid dream and two dreams that turned lucid for a short time at the end - not enough to pull off my intentions, but enough to get some flying time in...

1. I was in the main building at my college. There was a long staircase leading upwards to the higher floors, and for some reason the bookstore was on the first floor. I was walking through the bookstore when I saw one of my friends that just graduated browsing through the shelves for his textbooks. I asked him why he was there so early - the new students weren't supposed to get there until Wednesday (which is true IWL - I have to be there on Sunday, August 11, because I'm one of the student leaders on the hall, the new students get there Wednesday, and the returning students get there Friday). He said he decided to get there early to take a look around.

2. (This may be a continuation of the previous dream) I was in a large hallway outside of a convention room. I don't remember how, but I realized I was naked (except for a strange backpack). I ran into the bathroom to hide, but as I got through the door, I realized that it was just a dream. I turned around and walked calmly out of the door. I took off my backpack and didn't care that I was naked (yeah, I know, that was last month's TOTM...). Although I got a couple looks, no one seemed to really care. I ran outside to this little balcony and saw some of my friends from college on the ground below. I wondered what it felt like to fly naked. I took a running start and jumped off. Although I had kind of a sputtering start, I finally got going and flew off, even doing a flip in mid-air. Before I got too far, however, I woke up.

3. I was back working at the grocery store. It was fairly late at night, but we still had a few customers. For some reason, there was a second receipt printer hooked up to the register. I tried to attach it back to the machine, but it still didn't look right, until I realized that the second receipt printer shouldn't even be there. I disconnected it, but it kept printing. I knew it was too old to be wireless, so something had to be wrong. That's when I became lucid. The next customer asked me to run back and grab something from the back. I jumped up and flew over the aisles and back to where the item was, and then flew back to the front of the store to deliver it. I flew past several customers on the way, but nobody really paid attention. I gave the customer the item, but then my manager asked me to take a damaged item to the bin in the back of the store. I flew back again and went through the doors to the back. I searched for the bin for 2 or 3 minutes, but couldn't find it. Then I woke up.

Like I always seem to do in my LD's, I went along with the plot of the dream instead of breaking free and making my own story. I always try to remind myself to stop what I'm doing in the dream and just ground myself to become more lucid, and yet in the heat of the moment in the lucid, I always forget. Still, got a few good lucids tonight, so I can't really complain.

Day 11: LD - 2, FA - 0
TOTAL: LD - 7, FA - 3

Lucid Dream : [COLOR="#008080"]I was in my godmother's living room (The weather outside was very nice , some light colors: Orange,Cream,Etc. The blinds were pulled.) Suddenly,A chubby boy came in with a orange (fruit) costume and I don't remember what he said but it was something like: I love you. Then he wanted to throw me on the wall. Then I thought to myself: What's with this guy over here? I'm dreaming!. I done a RC and told myself: Okay,Be calm,You won't gain anything if you're not calm.Then I wanted to get out of the house and it felt like everyone was following me and I was on someone's shoulders and I kept stabilizing the dream while telling myself to be calm.Suddenly,I thought about my real body that was currently sleeping and the dream started to fade away(My eyes kept trying to close and I saw geometrical lights and stuff) Worried,I kept trying to stabilize more and it felt like the dream started to come back then I got in a basement near a elevator and a DC told me to not think about my body sleeping but that made me think more about it so I woke up. [/COLOR]

Dream(fragments) : 1.[COLOR="#800080"]I dreamt I was in my grandmother's room and I kept asking her what she wants me to do for her and she said she wanted a bath.I couldn't give her a bath because she was too sick and I started to cry then she started to tear.[/COLOR]
2.[COLOR="#800080"]I wanted to take a bath.In my living room there was a red basin and I wanted to wash my hair with a new shampoo (Cien) and with a new hair masque (From Head & Shoulders) and then there was the masque on the hall (I think it was made out of potatoes :| )And then I thought a bit..But If I don't use my normal hair masque my hair will not repair anymore. [/COLOR]
3.[COLOR="#800080"]I remember something about Cristina's flat block and her cousin (The weather was sunny)[/COLOR]

Dream recall from today's nap.

Dream 1(fragments):

There was something about one forum game on some forum.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was reading update of certain forum game W, and was discussing it with someone, questioning that update was going different ways, not that way.
Then i wake up, and realize that i am dreaming due to feeling, i try summoning something, shortly chandelier appears and turns into a person, then i...
Wake up again, then talk with dad, but for some reason try to summon that dream feeling, but before i get too successful...
I wake up again, in bizarre position in bed, reversed. Somebody's talking about going somewhere and i pretend to be asleep but have a bit of problem closing eyes. Then i wake up properly.

Me and a group of friends went to a school with a pornstar and went into a room that was guarded and we stripped her until all she had was panties on. She then complained that she was the only one stripped down and felt embarassed, I then did a reality check and became lucid , I took my pants off and she cheered me on we started kissing each other, as I opened my eyes back up the girl I was kissing was now a girl from my school that I like.

We then appeared at her apartment and talked about music, she said "wouldn't it be weird if they mixed country and hiphop?" I proceeded with a yes, then asked if she liked black eyed peas, looked away, looked back, and she was my sister now(likes BEP).

Then I woke up to my alarm for work

legend: Dream , Semi-Lucid , Lucid

First fragment: I had really long dream at the beginning of last night, it seemed like it went on forever, i remember being zero from code geass and causing all sorts of chaos on my farm

Second fragment: I killed a giant dragon the size of like a skyscraper.

Wasteland:
I'm in some sort of dusty wasteland-ish city. The city is split into two parts, one part where bandits can live freely and one part which is protected. I'm in the part with bandits... great. Anyway, i run out of ammunition for my rifle and i decide to go to the store to buy more but the bandits start trying to kill me and then of course this leads to a long chain of events in which i hijack one their vehicles and start driving away and etc..

Now, i try to go get ammunition one more time so they still get in my way so i'm just like "screw that" and start driving up to the town square to move into the safe part of the city. Well, i get up there and this martial arts class is having some sort of ceremony but i walk through it anyway xD. I start looking for the door but can't find it. Eventually, this martial arts person comes up to me and asks me to join their dojo and i'm like no, i'm already training somewhere else.

But then i look down and realize i have a black belt on and i'm like wait..i'm not a black belt yet. And this is where i become lucid. However, this lucid i can think clearly, finally, i have a high level of lucidity and since i do, i reminded myself to do a DEILD when i wake back up. Anyway, i see the door that leads to the peaceful part of the city and i head that way, as i do, i look at my hands and they have long and short fingers scattered here and there.

For some reason, the weird hands may have freaked me out a little and that made me lose a bit of control, my teeth started clicking together, like what happens when it's cold and you start shaking. So that happened and it was uncontrollable to the point i could hardly speak. Eventually, i wake up and do the DEILD. Let me you tell you, i wasn't ready for it at all xD. My body started shaking violently and since i wasn't expecting it, it was sort of a shock and i couldn't proceed but it was cool none the less.

So this marks some milestones! I'm about to hit 25 dreams logged on here, I just hit 10 lucids , I also had a lucid dream the last night so this was exciting(2 in a row!) , And i managed to have a high level of lucidity which allowed me to think clearly. Next milestones up are: 50 dreams logged on here , 25 lucids , and dream control/awareness.
