#1 I forgot most of this one. Something about some occult trying to stop my wedding to my wife. I have to fight back. I think they look like The Dark Brotherhood from Skyrim. I destroy some strange structure and some how I know that doing so killed my parents.

#2 I am walking in a park. A woman that looks like the non-cartoon version of Asian Reporter Thrisha Takanawa puts a mic in my face and asks me some questions. I tell her I don't speak Chinese. (Takanawa sounds Japanese to me) Someone tells me to just fake it. I say random nonsense stuff and they all act like I am saying something really great. (I think this is inspired by the family episode we watch before bed were Louis becomes Mayor) I see my face on a T.V. screen but it's not the news it's AFV. Apparently I didn't something stupid but funny. Something about "Cat Litter Surprise". Then they use my face to add on animations for other clips. I keep popping in saying "MONEY" in a comical German Hitler like voice. Everyone thinks it's so funny and acts like I am some kind of famous comedian.

I wake and try to MILD but I drift off into another dream

#3 Lisa from work is sitting at a table on a large deck outside.. my house? It feels awkward because I wonder if she is mad at me. She is talking to some other woman that looks like Michelle. I see bird poop on the deck and wish I had a hose to wash it off. Suddenly water starts to jet from in-between my toes on my right foot. I awkwardly wash the deck of. Lisa say's something polite to me and I respond then continue to wash the deck. I even give the grass a little water.I think, It's probably going to rain soon.

I wake up just before my WBTB alarm at 5AM. I get for a while and use MILD with mantra

#194 - 7:08AM - MILD

I am walking around some theme park with my wife that I think of as Six Flags. I think we must have ridden a few rides together. We pause looking for more stuff to do but it seems like there just aren't very many rides. She stops at some glass container full of something like Children's Miracle Network pledge cards. She is taking a bunch of pictures of random stuff then turns a takes an up close pictures of some woman and her infant. I begin to think of this a something like Disney World or Universal Studio's. I get a sense of urgency and want to make the most of our time since we probably will never come back. I become annoyed that she is wasting so much time and I gripe at her a little. She agrees and we turn and walk away now.
She seems sad and says, "Sorry you're not having any fun."
"No, it's not that.(lie) It's that we don't have much time left you are taking pictures of people's random babies." (I worded that funny in the dream. LOL.)
We look around and I feel really disappointed with this place. There just isn't much to do here. Then, I see some strange ride taking off on tracks.
My wife sees it too and says, "Ooohh nope nope nope!" and runs away. I wonder what is so bad about that ride as I chase after. We exit some glass doors and I got the feeling like the park was inside. There seems to be more stuff to do outside.

The sun is bright and I look around. There seems to be something like a park with trees and perfectly manicured lawn to the right. It looks like some people are gathering with chairs to watch a show in the shade. I see my father-in-law walking around like he works here. I notice he is wearing something like a tan Leprechaun suit complete with top hat. I find this really odd because he never wears suits and is a very large Native American. I think we should at least say hi to him before we move on but my wife is walking really fast and getting too far ahead of me. I feel torn whether or not I should follow her or talk to him. Then I see that suit again and notice he is doing something really odd. He's rubbing is hands together but has hay in-between. All this is too much and I ask myself, Am I dreaming? I think for a second, *gasp* I AM dreaming! I feel like I am about to wake up but I try to ignore it best I can.

I run over to my wife and take both of her hands. I look her close in the face and note how shifty and wavy it is but I ignore it. "Babe! We are dreaming! This is a dream!"
She doesn't say anything but she pulls away and gives me one of her you're-crazy-go-away looks. I sigh and let it go. I know there won't be any convincing her after that look. I pace in a circle rubbing my hands, thinking what my goals were. I can't seem to remember so I decide to just explore. I look out and see a small parking lot and a familiar looking street street and some building beyond. There is a red vehicle parked that looks like ours. I wonder if I am going to walk, run, drive or fly. But I really want my wife to come along so I say to her,"Well, I'm going to go do some stuff now. Are you coming?" I turn to look at her and take her hand but I wake up.

I breathed in my nose and realized I was dreaming. I got up out of my bed and walked downstairs. The house layout was completely different. I looked outside and there were huge hills. It reminded me of Ireland or somewhere like that.

I tried to shoot up into the air and fly, but I got distracted and couldn't. I walked out into ther room and there was tons of girls. I walked outside and there were a shit ton of cars for rival gangs. I jacked a car.

I drove around for a bit and then drove back. I went back to my room and a girl came in and asked me to look at her profile for modeling and acting. I then woke up.

Note: This was my first lucid since I've been practicing and there was a giant leap in quality. The dream was more like a movie than a crappy set of pictures. It was quite vivid, but I still didn't really have my full senses, awareness, or any of that stuff. It was also sort of awkward and jumpy and very short.

Lucid Dream 522: Bar King
Series: Land of Dreams, Episode 15
DILD
Technique: FA



I can remember pretty much nothing prior to having a FA (false awakening). I awoke in a strange apartment that I didn't recognize. I thought to myself, "Where the f*** am I?" It only took a couple more moments for me to recognize that this situation wasn't right. I couldn't remember how I got there, so I performed a nose pinch RC. As expected, I was actually dreaming.

I turned toward the nearby sliding glass door and attempted to melt through it. I was successful, but there was another layer of glass in front of me. I melted through it and there was, again, another layer of glass in front of me. I thought, "Oh c'mon now!" I had to phase/melt through 3 more layers of glass before finally making it outside on the balcony. I noticed glass was slowly forming in front of me again so I thought, "Ok, I've got to get the hell out of here." I took flight and quickly flew away from that house.

I decided to try and have an "Attack on Titan" dream. I flew into a town and a building caught my eye. I landed in front of it and entered. It was a bar. I walked up to the counter and said, "Give me a bottle of your finest dream vodka." She looked skeptical and said, "The whole bottle?" I gave her a, "I'm not going to ask twice" look and she handed me a bottle of gold flakes vodka. It was glowing a brilliant gold color. She held out her hand as if to take money and I said, "I own this place. I'm the master of dreams." She was taken aback and began apologizing saying she didn't know. I just ignored her and walked back to a table.

I started chugging the the bottle and I then slammed it on the ground. It shattered. The DCs looked at me strangely. It seemed they weren't sure what to do, so I shouted, "Its ok. If you want to slam your glasses on the ground, go ahead." Everyone looked timid and nervous. One guy held up a mug and, with much hesitation, let it slip out of his fingers. It fell to the ground and smashed. I cheered, "There you go! Its fun isn't it?" I grabbed a nearby mug and slammed it on the ground. The DCs all cheered and everyone started slamming bottles and mugs all over the bar. I forgot to mention, I felt the effects of the alcohol immediately after chugging the bottle.

After my glass breaking party, I walked outside and was in a fairly primitive town. I knew I was where I wanted to be. I walked up to the nearest DC and asked, "What is the fastest way to wall Maria?" The DC pointed and I took off flying in that direction. I got excited upon seeing the wall and the dream began to fade. I landed on top of the wall and immediately prepared to DEILD.

Lucid Dream 523: Titan Slayer
Series: Meiseki na Yume, Episode 5
DEILD



I smoothly transitioned back into the dream. I could tell I was now outside the walls. I was on a large, square, wooden platform in the middle of a thick forest. I could tell the trees were tall, but they only reached to the same level as my platform. I looked out into the sea of green treetops. A patch of trees to my right began shaking violently. Suddenly, battle music began playing in the background and I knew what was about to happen. A huge titan emerged from the shaking trees. It was about 20 feet taller than the treetops and the platform. I held out my arms as if I was holding two blades like the ones from AoT (Attack on Titan - A currently airing anime that is awesome. The japanese name is Shingeki no Kyojin). The blades didn't appear, but I acted like I was holding them anyway. The Titian swung its arm in an attempt to grab me. Its arms were abnormally long and stretchy. I performed a dive-roll over the arm and siced the Titans arm with my invisible blades. Its cut a bloody gash into his arm. I dodged a few more attacks and the blades were now visible and solid in my hands. I dodged an attack and then leapt behind the Titans head. I sliced through the Titan's weak spot (back of the neck) with both of my blades. It let out a monstrous groan and fell to the ground, disappearing in the sea of trees.

Suddenly, Titans began popping up all around and I cut them down one after another. The dream went into a 3rd person view as I continued to battle Titans. I noticed that I also had now become a Titan, but I was still the same height as a normal human. I was just jacked like a body builder and had the face of the Armored Titan (from the show). The dream switched in and out of third and first person as I fought a fat Titan that just wouldn't die. I finally managed to kill him and no more Titans came. I decided to head back inside the walls. I could see the wall off in the distance as I began to wake up. Again, I prepared to DEILD.

Note: This dream was sometimes animated like the show, but also was fully 3D/real world graphics at times.

Lucid Dream 524: Time to Alter Time
Series: Land of Dreams, Episode 16
DEILD



I transitioned smoothly and was back within the inner walls of the city. I decided to just explore the area. It was night time, but there were many lights and neon lights scattered throughout the city, so it was very lit up. I made my way to a boardwalk with many shops and buildings. None of the buildings here had doors and the boardwalk traveled through many of them. It was like a big, open, outdoor mall. There were people partying and setting off fireworks all around.

I entered one of the shops and saw a fortune teller-like woman seated on a fancy blanket. I had remembered something I wanted to try, just moments before. I asked the lady, "Where can I find the time dilation machine?" She pointed to a nearby door, so I proceeded through the door. I was now in a bathroom. There was an ancient metal computer-like device on the wall. It looked like a mix between a breaker box and an old apple computer. I attempted to type in 3 hours. The numbers were not being cooperative. I repeatedly typed up a jumbled mess until it finally showed "3 Hours." Of course, there were some jumbled characters on each side of the "3 Hours," but I didn't pay them any mind, I clicked the "start" button and exited the bathroom.

I went back to exploring. There were so many random shops and objects scattered across the huge boardwalk that I couldn't remember everything. There were canoe shops, fishing shops, clothing stores, fireworks venders, beach balls randomly bouncing around, tumble weed, balloons, stuffed animals, etc. There was way more shit, but that is all I remember (had wrote down). There were also open houses along the boardwalk. The boardwalk was like a huge, winding, pier on a huge lake. Anyway, I entered one of the houses and there was a pool. There was a hot, naked chick sitting on the side of the pool. There was a long line of men in front of her waiting their turn to have sex with her. I watch for a moment and pondered cutting the line and having a go. I fought off the temptation and went back to exploring.

I saw some speed boats and jet skis out on the lake, so I took off flying after them. I began chasing the speed boats around through the air, playing freeze tag with them. I was skimming the top of the water as I flew. I was "it" and soon "froze" all of the speed boats and jet skis. When I touched them, they literally froze in time. After winning the game of freeze tag, I landed back on the boardwalk. I walked into another house and there was a party going on. I saw a huge kite and attempted to fly while riding on it. I kept crashing into piles of random objects/toys/gear/etc. I could get the kite elevated, but it was out of control and crashed moments later. Always crashing into random piles of things. The dream soon began fading, so I, once again, prepared to DEILD.

Note, the dream only lasted about 30-45 mins (dream time) after I typed in 3 hours, so it didn't exactly work out .

Lucid Dream 525: Jet Gunner
Series: The Mind of a Gamer, Episode 7
DEILD



This DEILD transition took longer than usual. I got some HI of the moon and space. I could hear "My Song" playing on my computer as I transitioned into the dream (the song from the anime, Angel Beats!). I had left my iTunes up as I had been sleeping this whole time.

Anyway, I transitioned into the dream. I was in a fighter jet and was going through a video game-like stage. I couldn't control the speed or the jets direction of travel. I could strafe left and right with great maneuverability. I controlled the jet's guns with my mind. The environment went from realistic to PS3-like game graphics. I pummeled enemy jets as they approached from the background. It felt a lot like I was playing StarFox in a more realistic setting and great graphics. After a bit of this, the dream began to fade and I allowed myself to wake up in order to not forget too much of the previous dreams.

Dreamscape 2
I wake up in bed and roll over. I am not in my own bed. Something soft and furry is curled up beside me. I reach over and pet it. It responds with a, "Pika!" and a purr. I sit up in the bed and look around. I am back in the bedroom of Dreamscape. I see the black cat sitting on a chair not far from the bed. I get up out of bed and almost trip on the Buddha statue that is sitting on the floor. I curse myself silently for forgetting it. I see there is a journal on the floor near the statue. The cat on the chair meows. I go over to the cat and pet it. The cat begins to purr. There is a knock on the door to the room. I go over to the door and ask who's there. For a minute there is no answer… and then finally someone says that he is my neighbor coming for a visit. I think he is probably a Templar. I don't really want to let a Templar inside my Dreamscape. There is another knock at the door. It is getting a bit more impatient. I think about it for a bit longer, thinking there was some reason I wanted to let them in but I am not able to remember why I would do that. They are pounding on the door now. I finally decide to follow my instinct. I open the door and get out of the way. Two Templars practically tumble into the room. They turn around and look at me. One of them looks around the room and asks if this is where I have been hiding the artifacts. I ask them what they want here. One of them looks back over at me. Before anyone can answer, however, I see another person enter through the door which I had not bothered closing. I look over at the new arrival and recognize him as Alex Mercer from the Prototype game.

I do a double take at that… Great… now my Dreamscape is infested with Templars and a viral shape-shifter. One of the Templars asks Alex who he is. The other one says he has a proposal for me, one he hopes I will not refuse. The Templar talking to Alex tells Alex to get lost, this is not his concern, and pushes him towards the door. I tell the Templar that he really doesn't want to piss Alex off. He asks what Alex is going to do about it? Fight him? Huh? Wanna fight? He says he'll kick Alex's ass right out the… He is interrupted when Alex grabs him and quite quickly consumes him. The Templar talking to me has continued talking, but I have not been listening. He stops now and stares at Alex, saying, "What the fuck?!" He takes a couple steps away from Alex, but he doesn't move quickly enough to avoid getting grabbed by Alex. All he gets out is, "Oh, shit…" before he, too, is consumed. Alex is just standing there looking at me, and all that comes to mind to say is that was truly disgusting as I look at the bloody mess on the floor of my Dreamscape bedroom. I go over to the door and look out, calling out to ask if anyone else wants to come on in. No? Good. I close the door. I turn around to find I'm looking directly at Alex… and he is holding the black cat. I do a double take at that and then head towards the other side of the room. Alex says something about Abstergo being associated with Gentek… I comment a Templar by any other name is still a fucking Templar. I look around and see the door that leads to the hallway on the Dreamscape website.

I go through that door and see it leads to a long hallway that has no doors on either side. I head down the hall, Alex follows me. The black cat jumps from his arms and runs down the hall at top speed. I wonder if the cat is leading me somewhere. I think that if he is, he needs to slow down a bit. I hurry faster to follow the cat. Alex stays right with me. I glance over at him, wondering what he is after, but then I wake up.

Yay, i think i did a ToTM!I'm in my house, playing minecraft. I get bored quickly, so i go out, grabbing a random DS and Wii (i don't have those) and i drop them. The DS doesn't have a scratch, but the wii breaks. As my usual rush of logic kicks in, i think "WTF? My Wii is heavier, so it shouldn't have been broken.... I might be dreaming... I'll check later". I drop the DS down my LONG staircase, and it still doesn't break. I go get it and while i return i think"Ok, that's 3 signs im dreaming, if i find another one i'll check". So out i go seeking another sign, into some kitchen like place i don't have, until i (drum roll.... wait for it!) think "Oh f**k this lets check now."I RC and it works. (again, drum roll...) My mom appears. I inmediatly try kicking her, but she is the invincible one and she said "Sorry for what i did that dream, but i wanted decorations put up in my room". Thinking my subconsious was crazy at this point, i agreed only for practicing summoning. After about a min, she's happy and punches me, while saying she won't do "that" again (from the other entry).I go out and find a mirror. I tried avoiding it, but i saw inside it and found myself without any distortion whatsoever. I wake up around here.

Dream recall from today's nap, had a bit of problem falling asleep for some reason(maybe it was too hot).

I was loking around from the balcony, then somebody called me from the streets and i went there, almost instantly i was down there and we were talking about something while pigeons were wandering around. Then i went back and was instantly back at the balcony. Then it faded out.
I wake up with closed eyes, attempt to DEILD, but don't really works, i get up and i have sensation that i am dreaming, then i wake up again with same sensation. I get up from the bed and dream shortly destabilizes, i fall and for a split second i see weird kinda egyptian eye-like symbol in black and white, then i somehow fall and dream stabilizes, but in a second i wake up.

1. [Lucid?]
I seem to remember becoming aware and suddenly got really excited then woke up. I did not perform any reality checks that I remember, I keep seeing a hand but I think that was from a previous dream.

I was feeling sad my recall sucked all night so I really focused after the snooze.

I found myself having see with my wife. We almost flipped into an impossible position. There was brief darkness a vertigo. Then we actually do flip. I thought," This feels very dream like"
But before I really think it through we are now walking together on a long wooden deck outside.

I look back at the bed and see its red with some creepy boy sitting on it messing with a hand held device. I note part of my house has no walls but think nothing of it.

I follow my wife into the shed. She bends over to pick something up and I put her pants down to continue. At some point there is a dual image of me having see with her and humping some random plastic tote. I can hear her and feel really confused. I begin to question things when the alarm goes off.

I snooze again and find myself mountain biking with my parents. (lol ya right) I want follow a trail to a hidden park but dad is convinced it's the other way. I follow and when we get there I am proven right. There some yard and abandoned farm equipment.

We go back but it's dark now and I have some red flashing light on my bike. The are some people with some sort of ATV ahead and their lights blind me. I try to shield my eyes but it doesn't help. My bike fades away and I begin running. I enjoy the ease of it.

Now I am back at the start the next morning. I freak out that I left my bike. Dad's says it's not there but I have to at least look. I run and see that I am on some boat dock. There are life preservers and fish nets lying around. The water looks a little on the brownish green side. The alarm wakes me.

LUCID

*I looked in the medicine draw in my kitchen, there was a conditioner bootle in there and this caused me to become lucid. There was also a picture of my teacher lama dorjee. I put the picture down and look to my left, there was a picture of padmasambhava just like the one I have on my shrine. As I looked it because for real as if he himself entered that very picture. For some reason after I put the pictures above my head and let them float off like a ballon.

*I became lucid while standing in front of this office building. The wind of was blowing and weather was perfect. I just kind of stood there for a minute enjoying the wind scooping the place out. I thought now it's time to fly. I took off but everything soon faded.

This one had some positive points, as well as some facepalms. But I'm starting to understand some stuff better about my LDing self.

So I WILDed pretty much like I did yesterday morning. Woke up at 5,7,9,10 for various reasons. Went to the bathroom and got water a couple times. I finally rolled over at some point and felt the vibrations.

I opened my eyes slowly and recognized right away that I was in an alternate bedroom. It's been hot lately so I didn't fall back to sleep with covers on, so I started the dream without and bedding issues. I opened the door to the bedroom, which led to a hallway in a hotel. These rooms were on the 1st floor apparently, because the hall eventually opened into the hotel lobby, which also resembled a huge mall. A hotel-mall, do they have those yet? Seems like a fun idea

Anyway, on the left was one of those make-up selling counters, with beautiful women who try to squirt you with perfume or offer a makeover as you walk by. I saw a really pretty blonde one that I though to go for first, but she rushed off with a customer and I lost her. I came upon a nice looking asian-american woman, who clearly paid alot of attention to her makeup. She had shoulder-length perfectly straight, shiny black hair, and meticulous eye make-up and frosty pink lipstick. I asked her if she wanted to go out with me, but she was reluctant. I'm still female doh! I guess some part of me thinks that if I act like a guy, the DCs will see me as one. Oh well, she had one of those circular swivel mirrors, so I looked into it.

I looked like I did in college but with a bob style hair cut. So I started hard at myself, willing for change. My hair darkened and shortened to shiny black, and the shape of my eyes became a thin almond shape, resembling someone who was part asian. Then my jaw got more square. I looked semi cute, like I could have been on Karate Kid II haha.

Anyway, I took the lady's hand and said, "Come on." She still kinda didn't want to. I just pulled her down the lobby by her hand anyway, and she didn't struggle. I pushed her against the window of one of the stores, but I accidentally did it a little too hard, and she bonked the back of her head on the glass a little. This was going so bad lol. I looked at her apologetically, and took her face in my hands. I kissed her gently a few times, then I remember to ask her for her name. She said something like "Hatika." I whispered her name to her a few times, in between kisses. I was just trying to make the effort to remember her name after I woke up, but I guess she liked it, because then she started really getting into it. Breathlessly she whispered to me, "I want you ______." She referred to me as some name but I forgot it.

That did it for me. Across from the store we were making out in front of, was a little spanish-style restaurant. The only light in there was from little votive candles on each table. But the center of the restaurant was completely dark, since no light reached it. I marched her straight to the carpet in the middle of the restaurant floor, threw her down on her back. In about 10 seconds, I managed to scoot our pants down just far enough, get 4 thrusts in, and I was done! I woke up immediately after.

So..

I'm still a dickhead. 2 one-night stands in as many days, and I still don't know their names. I'm glad I remembered to ask for her name this time, even if I forgot it. And I'm happy I can find hot chicks to make out with me, and that I can transform pretty easy. I think part of my problem though, is, well, the restraint for one. But I also think I'm kinda settling, since I'm not finding the precise chick that I want. I mean, right now, I feel like it shouldn't matter which chick it is, because it's all part of an experiment. But IN the dream, I'm more emotional I guess, so I want exactly what I want, and I want it now. So I need to figure out a way to combat this, or work with it.

Trying to post stuff again.
I think I'll write down dreams related to the templar story first, because I really want to have that stuff written down properly, so I figure I might as well start there.
I'll get to more current dreams after that.

My vision normalizes as my naked feet gently touch down in the sand. I'm on a beach.
I am somewhat blinded by the reflection of the sun on the near white ground.
It is very hot; I can clearly feel the pressure of the heat on my skin.
There's a lot of noise. People running into the ocean. Kids playing ball.
Music coming from god knows where. People seem to be partying.

All in all it feels rather uncomfortable. It isn't the heat or the noise though.
I'm not in a good mood. I don't feel like being surrounded with joy right now. It just doesn't feel right.
Now where's that fucking bird... yes... of course. At a bar talking to some girls.
Where else would he be?


He's a rather interesting creature. You don't meet many talking birds, and this one definitely has an attitude.
This one is pitch black with a single red feather in his tail, which I think he dyed that color.
It looks kinda cool actually, but he is a little full of himself. He also talks a lot.

As I approach the bar the girls leave giggling. He probably told them one of his famous stories.
I sit on the bar stool closest to him.

"Crow!"
"What the- Hyu!"
"Indeed"
"The fuck are you doing here mate? Did you bring Yuya? Where is Yuya?"
"What is it with you? Always only interested in the girls."
"What is it with you always calling me Crow?"

"You remind me of a talking bird going by that name."
"Uhuh? And who would that be? Are you making fun of me?"
"Crow helped save the worlds of Stark and Arcadia dear friend. He's a hero."

But that's not why I'm calling you Crow.

"Stark and Arcadia? I've never heard of such worlds."
"They're- worlds in another realm."

Or rather in a video game, but I feel like leaving out that detail.

"So, what brings you here? I've never seen you around here."

I pick up his drink because it is rather curious looking.
Further inspecion reveals that whatever it is, it has a rather acrid smell to it.
I put it back down.

"I'm looking for you actually."

His eyes widen.

"Who- me?!"
"Yes, you. I'd like to ask you for a favor."

He looks a bit confused... or... at least I think he does. It is rather difficult to read the facial expressions of a bird.

"I need to locate an aura."
"You humble me. I am fairly skilled at tracking auras, but I highly doubt that I could find someone that you cannot."
"You see, the problem is not that I am unable to do the tracking myself. The issue is that I'm quite unfortunately being tracked myself, so I do not wish to reveal myself."
"Hyu- are you in trouble?"
"You have no idea friend."
"Wait. Seriously?"

*Sigh*

"It's pretty bad, can you help me out?"
"Yes! Of course!"
"There's a catch."
"Naturally..."
"I- I'm not entire sure what it is I'm looking for. I'll have to see what you see."
"You want to use the dragon eyes on me..."
"Indeed."
"Shit- bugger- fuck-"
"You okay?"
"Yes, yes. Follow me. I know a quiet spot."

He knows what's coming for him. I must have used the eyes on him in the past... I think?
I follow Crow into some sort of small tent.
He lands on a pedestral and I kneel down in front of im to get our eyes leveled.

"Are you ready?"
"No! Of course I'm not ready you moron."
"Moron?"
"Go ahead. Just please- try not to kill me."
"Any danger is entirely up to you."
"Yes yes. Don't resist. I know, I know. Let's just get this over with."

It is fairly safe to use the dragon eyes on someone as long as they do not resist.
Clearly the sharing of minds is not what the ability is intended for though.
It is a rather intrusive ability, and it goes against your basic instincts not to resist against it.
I stare into his pitch black eyes. He seems fairly relaxed which is good. This shouldn't hurt him.
I force myself into his mind using the dragon eyes. My vision fades.
The first thing I feel is fear and discomfort.
I can't blame him for that. It must be immensely uncomfortable to have someone intrude your mind like this.
Fortunately I feel no resistance from him at all. His self-control is rather commendable.

"You're doing well crow."
"Obviously."
"Yes..."

A new scene appears.


A shared hallucination caused by the usage of the dragon eyes.

"This place gives me the creeps."
"Well. There ain't no girls in bikinis dancing about."
"No shit."

Well then. Time to see if that feeling is merely a delusion or if there is actually something behind it.

"Alright. Reach out as far as you're comfortable with. I'll try to guide your search."
"Mmmmmmhm"

I attempt to visualize whatever presence Crow feels as points of lights in front of me.
To my surprise, the only image that pops up is that of two rather largely breasted girls wearing bikinis.
The girls he was talking to at the bar earlier...

"Crow... focus!"
"But dear friend. I'd say that I am rather focused. Are you not impressed by how clear this memory is?"
"Dude... seriously?"
"The image... so clear and crisp... mmmmh."
"... This is really not the time for-"
"Boobs? There's always time for boobies!"
"Pervert..."
"Pervert? You morbid cunt!"
"A morbid what now?"
"You heard me. Lousy, moronic fuckwit."

*Sigh* That bird likes to curse.

"I'm waiting for an apology!"

This is the point where I'm supposed to call him an incompetent and imbecilic waste of natural selection.

"Sorry... I'm really not in the mood for this."
"You... I..."
"Are you done? I really need to figure this out."
"Well... yes... sorry..."

I think he finally understands that this is serious.
I'm not blaming him for not taking me serious immediately though.
It's not like I'm known as a serious person. I like messing about. But today is different.

After a surprisingly short amount of time, Crow manages to focus on something that matches what I'm looking for.
I underestimated him. This was quite fast, especially considering the nature of what I'm searching for.

"Eeehm. The fuck is this? This is not a person?"
"Also where is this? This doesn't feel like a proper location. Something's off. Did I do it wrong?"
"Hmm... I'm not entirely sure where this is, or what it is that you have found. But I'm fairly certain that you have found exactly what I'm looking for."

This is very odd indeed. I know exactly what he means when he says that something's off. Something doesn't feel quite right, but I am uncertain as to why.
I can focus on any point close to the location, but not the very location itself.
It should also not have been possible to find anything using merely a vague feeling as a guide.

"Crow. I'm going there right now."
"That doesn't seem safe. Do you have any idea what to expect? I mean, you're not even sure what you're looking for."
"Nope."
"I'm tagging along."
"Huh? Why is that?"
"Curiosity."

After releasing Crow from my eyes, I have him sit on my shoulder and teleport the both of us to some point in close proximity to the location we've found...

Dream recall from today's naps.

Dream 1(fragment):

There was something about honey.

Dream 2:

I was playing KKND2 and was building alot of stuff on the base, had lots of resource buildings too, but resources were not coming quickly. And then i realized that none of the buildings had any upgrades researched on them. I quickly started some on res. lab itself and power plant while allied forces were preventing enemy attacks. Shortly all units turned into dots and there was hyper zoom, then fade out.
I wake up and i have a feeling that i am dreaming, i get up but for some reason don't open eyes and there's weird sound. Then i wake up properly. I try to DEILD back but it feels like REM ended.

Legend: Dream , Semi-Lucid , Lucid , Side notes.

On the run:
The first dream i remembered last night, in this one, i was part of some terrorist organization. The police were chasing us and shooting at us in this construction site. I have a really big grenade launcher, it looked like the one from serious sam 3. I was at the top level of the construction site. I killed some police and was about to die, luckily, my comrades got my back as i jumped down some scaffolds.

Zombie Escape engineer:
I was spectating a round of zombie escape, like the game mode from cs:s. The map was a dark abandoned city. The people playing however, weren't character models from cs:s, rather, they were Tf2 characters. I looked around as the team entered an underground parking lot. I somehow got control of an engineer and started to build turrets as our team held up here.

Golf truck driving:
I'm driving a truck around on a golf course, for some reason i'm really afraid. I'm listening to music as i drive. I eventually stop and take my headphones off, i then plug my ipod into the car stereo. As i'm doing this, i'm literally freaking out. i hurry and eventually get the ipod hooked up and start driving again.

Rain storm:
In this dream, i'm standing outside by a baseball field and a local fitness center. The sky is dark and it's raining. I wake up from this soon after and find there's a thunderstorm going on in real life, pretty cool.

Time: The previous four dreams were logged about 5 hours after falling asleep.

Baseball and cook out:
I remember i joined a baseball team for the sole reason of being able to eat the food at a cookout the team had after a game. As the cook out started, i ate lots of food, i was then asked to attend a lecture about baseball for the team and i said no.

Lonely Mansion:
I left some place and drove home, my home in this dream was a mansion. I walked in and tried to turn on the lights but the electric was out. I looked around and found that no one was there, but me. How lonely. I then left and met up with my family.

Jedi Battle:
I'm in some underground water base, i'm there with a partner, then two sith show up. They're there to kill us, but they're in the other room, so my comrade quickly goes to the control panel and shuts the door leading to our room and starts to flood their room. The sith eventually lift a wheel or something and blast the door open.

Meditation:
I'm walking down a long pathway, at the bottom is an ocean. I get to the bottom, there's a statue submerged a little in the water, there's also some other people standing beside me. We're all standing in the water somehow. They tell me the statue is a test of trust, you have to jump toward the statue. it's a test of trust because there were hands under the water that would have held you up if you jumped.

Next thing i know, there's a dojo next to us. We walk in, my soke is there leading a class on meditation ( soke means head of the family or headmaster ). I join in and sit down on one of those spinning chairs and accidentally knock into other people because the chair kept moving.

Then, after the meditation. I find like a puzzle box, but there is a button on it that reveals the secret of the puzzle. My soke takes it and tries to stop the button and fix it. He makes a machine dolphin out of it. He then tells me to take it out to the ocean and ride it. But it breaks, so my soke fixes it and goes out to ride it himself, he tells me to meet him out there.

I start to go, but the surroundings change from ocean to my farm, the dojo is still there though. As i'm going, this army of people invade and hold me down, i tell them to stop over and over again, i suppose it worked because they eventually let go. There's then this guy standing in front of me, i guess he's the leader of the army, he says he wants to meditate with us. And Monkey D luffy tells him "Sure you can join us!". Oh and monkey d luffy was a member of the dojo, in my dream at least.

Either way, i try with all my might to change the surrounds back to the ocean, and as i do, the grass starts to flow like a river and then everything is changing into to water, it's happening in chunks but it's happening at least. I then walk up the stairs to call luffy an idiot for letting that man stay with us, as i do, i start to think this might be a dream, but it's weird because i'm like struggling to do a reality check, i think my dream is about to end.

Lucid #8:
I'm at my desk in my house, it's night time. I then suspect this to be a dream, so i look at my hand and i had like 10 fingers of varying sizes. As i'm lucid, i laugh a little and think "Well...that's definitely not normal xD".
As i turn around, i see a demon lady, i instantly get up and fly toward her with my fist out and hit her so hard she like vanishes. I then realize what i've done, the dream becomes unstable and i go into my kitchen, fall on my knees and repeat "I'm sorry" over and over as i try feel my body and root myself in the dream but it's not use, i wake up. and forget to try a deild.

Time: Previous 5 dreams were logged 7 hours after falling asleep.

Race time:
I was in a big race, i was, however, on roller skates, as i cross the finish line, one skate pops off. This guy picks it up nicely and hands it to me, also, it's very dim outside and there's no crowd at all. We then walk to the inside of the track ring and go into a building, there, i sit down and have a chat with some kids and adults as i wait for something.

Secret facility:
I'm in some sort of underground science facility. The dream starts off with me exploring the random weird rooms around the place. I then get assigned to one room. Our team is doing research on a machine that will put us into the matrix. I'm in charge, i get notified that some people had made a homemade machine with materials from walmart but it was missing other pieces. I then secretly planned to ditch this team and help the other people out because they were the good guys. After a while , the whole team gets called to a room to play music.

Time: last two were logged 10 hours after falling asleep, final awakening.

I was in a Russian military boot camp. Everyone had semi automatic rifles, but was firing at an fully automatic style. I used all of my grenades and went to resupply, The dream turned into a nightmare and when i left the resupply room the entire camp was destroyed like a tornado hit. I turned around and saw the supply room become a monster's face. It flew out and the body was in the shape of a pillow. Me and another man ran out to the street and asked for help, "What are we doing?" I asked, "I'll tell you, you're breaking rule 12" a man said. "You can't do anything because I'm IN A NIGHTMARE!" I shouted. I became lucid and lifted the man up with the force and threw him into a house. i then woke up.

So I'd been thinking lately, and LinkZelda and I discussed this last night, that it would be cool to change genders in a lucid dream. And not the thing I usually do where I grow boy parts and just stick it in whatever walks by me first. I wanted to actually turn into a guy, and ask a nice girl out on a date, maybe make out a little bit. The point was to have the experience, and not be a mindless dickhead out for sex, like I usually am in my gender bender lucids.

Anyway, so after working 6 days in a row, and thinking about this goal alot, I finally have 3 mornings in a row that I can sleep in. So last night I looked at pictures of pretty women, not overly PlayBoy-ish, just.. nice ones. And I settled on one and kept her in my mind.

Then this morning I tried for WILD. Woke up at 5am, then 7am, had a non lucid about zombies and grizzly bears (may post later), then kids woke me up a bunch of times. I was getting frustrated, but I kept my goals, and lucidity right at the top. I got up at about 9am, went pee and had some water, then lay back down. That did the trick, and pretty soon I drifted off, then rolled over and felt the vibrations.

I saw a bedroom form as my eyelids became transparent. Not my room at all. I slowly got out of the bed as usual and the sheets were stuck around my ankles a little. They vanished as soon as I walked towards the 4 doors in the room, looking for the one that led out. The first door had a dead bolt on it, so I turned it and opened the door, expecting it to be the way out, but it was a closet. I tried the next door and it led to a hallway.

I walked down the hall which opened into a livingroom, and there were a group of people sitting and watching TV. I looked for the lady that I wanted, but she wasn't there. A few older people were on the couch, and a really pretty young lady on the chair. Before I could think if I would ask her out instead, everyone in the room said "Hey Lisa." Crap, I'm still female! I asked them if any hot chicks came around looking for me, and they said no, without looking away from the TV. I went to the front door of the house and opened it, hoping to see a beauty on the other side. No one. So I decided to settle on the lady in the chair. I went to the large mirror behind the folks on the couch, and my reflection was basically me, with a long ponytail. So I looked at my reflection in the eyes and said "I am a really hot guy, named Michael." My hair cut short, and a ball cap appeared on my head. Despite some red-neckish looking clothes, I looked pretty good. Dark hair, blue eyes and chiseled facial features. Like what I ordinarily go for myself haha.

Anyway, feeling quite confident, I went up to the girl in the chair. She looked alot like this one actress, I'll see if I can find her pic and post it. I just took her hands in mine and said, "Hey, do you want to be my girlfriend?" She beamed and said "Ok!" First mistake: I didn't even ask her name. I led her into the hallway, and I suppose fearing for dream time, I just pushed her against the wall with my body. I took her face in my hands, and planted a kiss right on her lips. Then I used tongue. The whole time I kept my eyes open, just in case of accidental loss of lucidity (gotta work on that schema). The moment was so vivid. I kept feeling the skin on her neck and face, her hair, and all up and down her arms and body. A couple times I stopped to kiss her neck, and all along her jawline, loving all the chirpy little sounds that it elicited from her. [I gotta stop right here just to say this to the men in the audience: Bravo for every time you were ever in this situation and resisted the urge to just nail the girl. Because in the similar situation, I FAILED.] Her skin was so soft and satiny, and it would get flushed and burning hot to the touch wherever I kissed it, especially her neck. That neck, mmmmmmm mmm mmm! I ran my hand down the front of her shirt, stopping momentarily to cup a breast. I truly felt like I was going to explode on myself right then. I was really aroused, and my goals all went right out the window. Didn't ask her name, ask her out on a date, have ANY conversations of any kind. I just started ripping her clothes off right there in the hall. One goal. Solo. Uno. Everything else in the world was just gone. And I was punished for it. Right when I was about to give my first thrust, I woke up.

So...

I guess I can say that I'm happy that I got the opportunity that i wanted. I just need to play my cards better next time, and not be so greedy. I ended up DEILDing back into that same bedroom, but I woke up halfway down the hall

Edit: Oh it looks like I inadvertently completed the basic mirror task. 3 cheers for lucid mirrors!!

Edit again: The girl on the left is the one I wanted, the one on the right is the one I got (but with shorter hair and tanner skin). I can't complain.
