    1. The Long Arm of the Graves

      by , 02-19-2013 at 03:40 PM
      02-19-2013 -- I find myself in the backstage elevator I know from past dreams, riding down to enter the Adventurers Club. When the elevator lets me off, it is at the regular elevator spot, on the Zebra Mezzanine. I step out, and run into a couple of the cast members. I think Graham is doing Fletcher, and is glad to see me. Kristian is doing Hathaway, and is producing that slightly smarmy sort of vibe where I don't think he likes me, but he deals with it by just gently poking fun at me, and it doesn't really bother me. Then Joe (pre-surgery) as Graves walks up to me, greets me kind of warmly (something like "It's nice to see you again, Sir,"), and shakes my hand.

      Then something distracts him mid-shake, and he turns away and leaves me holding his right arm. His real, live, right arm. He walking away, and I'm calling after him, asking "Graves ... Graves ... do you think you might still need this?" But he's disappeared through one of the staff doors, so I'm left carrying his arm.

      I'm walking counter-clockwise around the mezzanine, and downstairs, somebody is calling out for Graves, asking him to give them a hand, and each time they do, his arm raises up in my hand and waves excitedly, but there's not much else it can do without its own body. I glance down, and oddly, the bar is over where the Treasure Room usually is. Eventually Graves arrives there (sans arm) right as I reach the stairwell and start down.

      I am going down the stairs with my right hand on the banister, and my left hand holding Joe's arm, and it is kind of feeling in front of itself like a blind man might. There are people coming up the stairs at the same time, and Graves' arm ends up feeling up the chests of the women, who for some reason find the freshness from a disembodied arm to be hilarious. Meanwhile, it seems Joe can still feel whatever his arm is touching, and he is making comments like "Oh, that's nice," and "I've got to do this more often." Everybody just roars with laughter.

      Things shift, and Graves has his arm back, and I am relaxing in the Main Salon, while many of the performers are just mingling with people and chatting. Then soon they start to seat a show (I think it is a treasure room show), and I end up wandering over to the desk in the stairwell, and sitting down to do a little writing. I know I am dreaming, and I find it to be a very nice dream, and I want to write it down, while I can still remember it really well.

      I'm trying to write it down on an envelope, but there are already several other dreams written on it, so I'm having trouble finding any room, and am having to write bits of it down here, there, and everywhere. Will make it hard to keep track of when it comes time to transfer it to the computer. Meanwhile, I know I am dreaming, but I am enjoying the dream enough that I'm not trying to change anything, but just enjoying it as it is.

      A maid who I don't actually recognize walks by, and makes a couple of comments, and I explain I am writing down this dream, so I won't forget it (and wondering if I will wake up to find it already written down, or if I will have to write it down again in the real world.) I find myself wondering where the other female performers are, because I've seen most of the men, but only the one woman, and I don't know her.

      Then I hear another voice, and I recognize it ... Jennifer. But I turn around, and she isn't in a Club costume. Instead she is in a really short (at both ends) red dress and a black wig. She is explaining to some others that she is in training for a new role, and has a couple of days left to go in that training. She has a very strong Betty Boop vibe going on, but she also has a very obvious, strong (fake) Flintstones five o-clock shadow going on, that makes the role a cross between Betty Boop, Betty Rubble, and oddly enough, Barney Rubble.

      Meanwhile, one of the cast members in the Main Salon is making some sort of comment about how the Club closed down years ago, but urging us all to attend and participate in ConGaloosh, and I'm thinking how I'd love to, if I could afford it, but ....

      Another of those dream shifts, and I find myself at some sort of after-Club party somewhere. I think Jennifer brought me along, and everybody is chatting, and somebody is asking why I am here, and I am still trying to properly explain the thing with Graves' arm, and this being a dream. Jennifer wants to take me aside to talk for a few minutes, but before she gets the chance, somebody else grabs her, and I end up taking a seat on a sofa to wait for her, then I wake up. (And do have to write the dream down again, since doing so in the dream didn't carry through to the real world. Pity. 8-D )
    2. Museum of Ancient Culture

      by , 02-18-2013 at 10:47 PM (Second Reality Experiences)
      I wake up for a brief moment and then go back to sleep, and am able to do a WILD

      I'm in the middle of a downtown city. It looks to be about midday - the sun is out and it's bright. The clarity is fantastic. I can see the individual leaves on the trees. I remember from reading Stephen LaBerge's work that in order to keep the dream stable I need to be constantly participating. So I try to take in everything I can. I begin to run down the street. There are no other people in sight. It's like a ghost city. I come to what looks like an Art History museum. Behind Glass is an ancient statue of an elephant. It's a humanoid elephant and it's style was strongly reminiscent of Egypt, India, and Greece all kind of melded into one. I remember studying the details of the white marble and marveling at how intricate they were. I even turned away and looked back and everything stayed the same. It was that stable!

      (I drew a depiction of it)
      Good ol' Snes.-307376_10101821451558322_800239256_n.jpg

      I walk inside the museum, and feel like I own it. I mean essentially I did own it because it was my dream. But I walk around and look at a few things. I see another statue of a horse belonging to the same civilization that was intricately decorated with a headdress and feathers. I am pretty amazed at the beauty my mind had came up with for this civilization. I feel like I could derive a whole culture just from the statues that had been placed there for me to see. I walk into a darkened room and begin to hear an ominous static noise that reminds me of the game "SlenderMan". And as soon as I begin to fear seeing him he shows right up - just as expected. I quickly try to ignore him and he disappears.

      I notice a guy in a security uniform standing in the museum. I walk up to him and feel like he shouldn't belong. His eyes shift away from me, and he has a look on his face like he is up to no good. I tell him he needs to leave and he promptly replies "No."

      That's fine, so I try to erase him by waving my hand in front of my eyes and hoping as my hand passes he will disappear (this has worked in the past for me). But, alas, it does not work and he is still standing there.

      I turn around and see a couple of other guards (who seem legit enough) by a door. I wave them over and tell them to escort the guy I didn't like out of the museum. They immediately follow my instruction, grab him by the arm and take him away. I feel pretty satisfied, and then the dream ends

    3. The Stone Corridor

      by , 02-18-2013 at 06:35 PM
      bed: 10:30pm - wake: 4:00am - wbtb: 5:15am

      I am instantly (dream-awake) laying on my side on a brown wooden table, probably in the same position I fell asleep in. I know immediately I'm in a lucid dream but just to be sure I look at one hand and a few of my fingers are predictably faded out or invisible. I tell myself to remain calm and slowly try to get up off the table. I can see that I'm in a room I don't recognize but the walls are made with rough fitted blocks of tan and brown stone. It has an old look but I can tell the room is in fact modern, without decoration, and very clean and brightly lit. It reminds me of perhaps a hallway in a nice church.

      I push myself up slowly to sitting with my dream hands so I'm sitting upright now and stand up. I slowly walk to the wall and run my hand over the stone trying to solidify the dream with some tactile sensations. I stone feels rough as expected and slightly cold. The dream is pretty solid at this point so I exit the larger room into a hallway that also has the same stone walls. The hallway curves at various points almost like your following the passage of a maze. I decide to try levitating and raise my legs into the air so I'm floating and as expected I'm able to move forward more quickly and smoothly.

      I'm afraid of the dream fading which it often does when I'm flying so I drop my legs back down to the ground, crouch down and again touch the cold stones with my hands to keep the dream stable.

      Down the hallway the passage seems to open to a larger room to the right and I can hear voices in the room. I become a bit afraid of what I will find in there and I'm hesitant to go further as I don't want this to turn into something awful. Just as I consider this a little blond girl walks into the hall from the big room. She is smiling and welcoming me into the room. The dream fades out quickly and i'm back in bed awake now.

    4. ♦It Was Him All Along♦

      by , 02-18-2013 at 05:21 PM
      Last night I dreamed that my whole high school class was at blackstock. My old Jr. High. The whole 2012 CIHS Class was there. And it was pretty weird. I didn't want to be there with them, but I had no other choice. To my understanding, there was like a carnival going on. But for a carnival going on,we were all sort of dressed too formal. As I started recognizing people I would hangout or talk to I just simply smiled or said hy. I didn't do any attempt to keep things going with them, but apparently they didn't get the memo because they stood by me. I had a couple girls standing by me laughing and playing around. But then, I saw him, he was by himself and he looked better than ever. When I saw him I fell in love with him all over again. All those feelings came back. It made me sad because I knew he did not care about me one least bit. Not in any way. So when he got closer to where I was, I ignored him. I acted as if I never even seen him arrive. But I knew he knew that I'd seen him. But just as I ignored him, he ignored me. And that hurt. He didn't even sneak a glance at me. He just walked passed by me. As I stared after him, I watched him go in to the field and sit in the bleachers. I later realized that people started going crazy. They were yelling nd running around like crazy. I heard a couple people saying that a dog was running loose. In my head I was like. "really your all running and screaming like crazy over a loose dog..smh.. How pathetic." but what I didn't realize was that this dog was ACTUALLY out there trying to eat. He was eating people. This dog was no ordinary dog and I didn't know that because I was so lost in Johnny. I got tired of waiting and hoping that he'd stop being an asshole and he'd come talk to me. So as I tried making my way through the screaming crowd I saw him, the dog, he was 15 feet away from me. He was big, hazel brown, and he had big vicious teeth. He was like a pit bull taken out of a scify movie. And this scary disgusting dog was staring straight at me. And right at that moment I realized that this dog was here for only one reason. And that was me. There was people still running around but there was also people staring at me and him. I was scared and I had no where to run. So I just stood there, very still looking back at it hoping that it'll turn around and leave. But it wasn't going anywhere. That dog was there for me and he wasn't going to leave till he got what he wanted. And that dog; wanted me dead. So I made a decision that probably anyone would have. I ran. Where too? Anywhere, everywhere. There wasn't a single place that I could hide or take shelter. I was just running and scared from it. My adrenaline was on fire I was running like no other but this dog was quick. I felt his breath crawling in the back of my neck and that scared me, because I felt like he'd catch me any moment and kill me. But far out in the field I saw my way out. I saw a fence and I knew what I had to do. I just had to keep running and hope this dog wouldn't catch me. As I got closer, this dog tried taking bites out of me. But no way in hell was I going to let him. I looked back at him one last time, and this dog showed me his teeth. He was like smiling at me, like, a victory smile. This dog thought I was stranded ,no where to go. He thought he finally had me. But what this dog didn't know, was that I was planning on climbing that fence and stay up there. So as I got closer, I took the last bit of my energy and sprinted to the fence. I jumped on it and climbed it all the way to the top. I tried sitting on it but, its kinda hard to do that on a barbed wire fence. So I just had my legs thrown over and my body sort of laying on it. The dog kept jumping up trying to get me. And for a bit there, I thought he really was going to get me. I was scared and I was shaking and what I did next through me off guard. I started yelling for Johnny. I took a deep breath and with all my might I started yelling for him. I was crying and I needed him to come rescue me. I didn't know why I yelled for him. It just came out of no where. My body reacted all by itself. But this dog, was definitely something else, with every jump he kept taking he seemed to be getting hire. And there it was my scream again. I yelled for Johnny again. But this time my voice begged, and sounded desperate and hopeful. But he wouldn't show up. He wouldn't come to my rescue. And that crushed me. And this dog, somehow, was clinging on to the fence. And his scary face, with those scary fierce disgusting teeth were 5 feet away from my face. He was growling, and slobbering all over the place. And what I did to him was very unexpected, even for me. I reached out to him with my right hand, I scratched and petted his head. And when I did that he no longer was growling at me. He was just staring at me. Confused. Lost. That dog was looking at me like he knew who I was. And then everyone who was there started to gently push the dog away. And he wouldn't do anything. The dog kept staring at me. Its like if he was in a trance......

    5. Monkeying Around

      by , 02-18-2013 at 01:31 PM (Xanous' Dream Journal)
      WBTB 4:00-4:20A

      1MG Melatonin @ 4:00
      50MG Caffeine, 200MB B6 @4:20

      I tried staying up longer but was really tired

      Slept from 4:20-5:08 recalled no dreams. I remember a fragment about everyone getting lay off at work. It was very realistic as far as the dream scene went. And highly possible IRL.

      Went back to sleep easily until 6:00

      Monkeying Around DILD interrupted - Caffeine

      I am on some play ground. I see some huge swings but walk past to monkey bars. I feel like this is be super easy (lucidity starting). I grip the bars and notice how numb I feel. I go back and forth on them and smile at how effortless it is. Some dude walks up and says something about walking it upside down. I don't know what he is talking about so I just start doing so chin-ups. They are super easy and effortless. I get it now. I see the young man watching me. I say to him, "This is only this easy because this is a dream."

      My son starts crying and wakes us up. My wife takes care of it because she is super awesome.

      I go back to sleep. I am not 100% sure but I think I hit a semi successful DEILD. I remember some OBE like sensations but I quickly lost it to FA. I think because I really wasn't trying.

      I do a nose plug. Did is pass or fail? I can't remember. I enter my dreams on my DJ. Post on DV. Then realize it is time to leave the house and I am late. I go brush me teeth. My wife crowds me and I get pissed at her and tell her, "I love you but I really need some space right now." She wonders off.

      I begin to look at myself in the mirror and notice how odd I look. I think that I look almost childish and like someone else. I get and odd feeling and wonder if I am dreaming. I focus on the mirror and now I look normal. I continue to repeat this several times. Then the tooth brush start feeling like it it fusing to my teeth and I forget all bout the mirror. I soon wake up just before the alarm.

      Poisoned Lake (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I was with a friend in a big parking lot. In addition of parked cars, there were like other old abandoned stuff. It was very dark and we realized we had to get out from there.

      We got out and I felt the sun warming up my face.
      For a few moments, I realized it felt too good to be waking life, and realized I was dreaming, but I lost it at following the plot of the dream.

      There was a lake that apparently was poisoned, but it had like a layer of glass and I could walk on it. I wanted to retrieve a few treasures I saw, such as a pendant with some gemstones. I also saw a digital stop watch. I had to crack the crystal in order to get it, and my friend was worried I poisoned myself but I knew it could not happen because I was dreaming and my body was safe in bed.

      I started to talk with someone about my physical mediumship circle and something about Spirit and lost the dream.

    7. The Great Sphinx (February 17, 2013)

      by , 02-18-2013 at 12:23 AM (Chronicles of Ethos)
      DreamLucidAwake

      The Great Sphinx

      The first half of this dream is fragmented and lacks clarity. My dream recall hasn't been as great as it should be lately. I was wandering around a forest, far away from civilization. It was around autumn and the trees were different colors of red, orange, and yellow. I remember that almost everything I saw was very beautiful. That irritates me a bit because I can't remember it clearly. The beauty of the world around me is what made me lucid.

      At some point I came to a ravine with a river flowing at the bottom. Nearby was some kind of log cabin built near the edge of the ravine. I don't really remember the details except that it was pretty big and fancy for a log cabin. I walked inside and looked around a bit. There were several people living there. They were apparently a group of survivors from a recent apocalyptic event. They seemed to be pretty well set up considering how most post-apocalypse camps look like.

      I think I talked with them for a short time, but I don't remember much. I think they said I was a part of their group. It wasn't long before I was bored with them and wanted to go exploring again. I left the cabin and walked to the ravine. There was a wooden suspension bridge nearby that I could use to get across the ravine. When I walked onto the bridge it rocked back and forth a bit. So then I started shifting my weight to the left and right to make the bridge sway as I walked across it. It's more fun that way.

      On the other side of the bridge was a prairie. Far off in the distance I could see a man wandering through the tall grass. I ran over to him to see if there was anything interesting about him. When I approached him, he pointed a shotgun at me and said, "Stay back or I'll shoot." I told him that I was friendly and didn't want to cause any trouble. He lowered his gun and said, "Do you have any food on you? I haven't eaten in days and I'm starving." "Sorry, I don't have any food on me, but I do know a group of people who do," I said.

      I guided the man back to to the log cabin where there should be food. After we crossed the bridge, we were stopped by a man who appeared to be the leader of the group. He pulled out a handgun and pointed it at the man I was helping. "Who is this?" the leader asked aggressively. "A man who's starving and needs some food," I said calmly. "We don't have enough food for another person!" He yelled. "Calm down, and lower the gun. If you need to get rid of someone, get rid of me. I'm the one who brought him here," I said.

      Apparently we were thinking of different things when I said "get rid of me." He immediately pointed the gun at me and shot me in the right side of my chest. My chest was in pain and fell to the ground on my back. At least it wasn't my heart that was shot, but I think a lung may have been damaged. I was bleeding profusely from my chest and I was coughing blood. The man that I was trying to help crouched down to me and started putting pressure on the wound. He was trying to save me, but I don't think it would have done much good.

      My vision was starting grow darker. I looked around at everything around me and concentrated on my vision to keep it from going dark. As I was looking around, I noticed that I was wearing River's necklace for some reason. I remembered that her necklace could be used to teleport to a place you're thinking of. I held onto the necklace and started thinking about the desert. At this point the leader of the group stuck his gun to my head and decided that he would finish me off. Before he could fire, there was a flash of light and I had teleported.

      When the light faded away, I was staring up at a bright clear blue sky and lying in the sand. I noticed that it was much hotter here. My vision started to get darker again. I assumed it was because of my wound. I placed both of my hands on the right side of my chest where I was bleeding the most. I concentrated my magic there to heal the wound. As I did this, my vision slowly started coming back. After about a minute, I was fully healed and my vision was fine for the most part.

      I got back onto my feet and looked around. I saw a few pyramids very far off in the distance, but they didn't interest me. "Why did I teleport to the desert? There's nothing to do here," I said to myself. I then turned around and noticed that the Great Sphinx was behind me. At that moment I remembered the final task of the year. "Fix the nose, bring it to life, and ride it to the top of the pyramid," I said to help myself remember.

      I stood in front of the Sphinx and decided to use earth bending to fix the nose. I'm pretty sure the Sphinx is made of earth. I turned, stomped on the ground, and made a downward diagonal motion with my fist. As I did that, stone extended out of the Sphinx's face in the shape of a nose. It looked pretty nice.

      Next, I had to find a way to bring the Sphinx to life. The first thing that came to mind was the book of 500 spells I had. I summoned the book and began skimming through the pages. I stopped when I saw a spell named "Anima". Among hundreds of other spells, this one stood out to me. I think anima is Latin for life or soul, so it made sense to use this spell. I held my hand out towards the Great Sphinx and concentrated on it. I then shouted, "Anima!" and it started to glow a bit. After a few seconds, the Sphinx became alive and started to move. The ground shook as the Great Sphinx stood onto its feet and stretched its body.

      "Wow, that was impressive," I said. All that was left was to ride the Sphinx. I grew wings, flew up to the Sphinx, and landed on its back. "Go Sphinx! Ride to the Great Pyramid!" I yelled. The Sphinx then started running at an incredibly fast speed. I started to fall backwards, but I used my earth magic to root my feet to the Sphinx. Seconds later, we were at the pyramids and the Sphinx began running up the largest one. I then leaned forward and rooted my hands to the Sphinx to get a better grip. When we reached the top, the Sphinx made a pose and roared loudly. I guess it thought it was the king of the pyramid or something.

      After posing, the Sphinx stopped moving. I detached myself from its back and climbed up to its face. I stood on its nose and waved my hand in front of its eyes and received no reaction. "The Anima spell must have worn off," I said. I decided to cast the spell on the on the Sphinx again to see what would happen. After shouting "Anima!" the Sphinx glowed again. Its eyes blinked and it looked at me with angry eyes. It apparently didn't like me standing on its nose. It shook its head back and forth and I fell off. I landed about half way down the pyramid and started tumbling down. I think I rolled past my sister on the way down. Kind of makes sense for her to be there since she likes ancient Egyptian stuff.

      I woke up before I even got to the bottom of the pyramid. I can only land on my head so many times before waking up.

    8. Held Captive

      by , 02-17-2013 at 11:02 PM
      I dreamed I was being held captive by 2 of my friends. They seemed mean. Well I got out of the dark room I was in somehow and I practiced fighting. I was in the air like I might have been floating and it took a little bit of practice to make my hand go forward. After the dream I woke up in sleep paralysis, or my body was still asleep.

    9. Fight against Buu

      by , 02-17-2013 at 09:52 PM
      Last night i dreamed that i had the powers of Goku (witch i generally have in all my dream) and spiderman, in the newly build school in my village the last (and most powerfull), small, pink form of Majin Buu was attacking the people. I had to fight him, but i avoided him so i could work out a strategy to kill him. The first time i saw him he was in the gym at the school, he attacked everybody (there were a lot of people like there was a concert or something) with my spiderman powers i flew around with my webs (very thrilling experience!) into a small storage room at the top (like an open window where you only can go with a ladder). Then all of a sudden i and a lot of people where hiding behind a very small wall near the church, and i decided to go and think out a strategy, i hid in a tree (i flew to the tree with my Goku powers) a small distance away, he didn't saw me (luckily) and kept shooting pink energy balls at the people. Then i flew to my home (it didn't look like my home, but i felt it was) my whole family was there (my mother, father, brothers and girlfriend). I said that i had to leave for their safety, because i was the only one that could kill Buu, and therefor i was his main target. I decided to take an airplane (destination unknown), as i peaked trough the window i saw him flying very close by, but he was looking straight ahead and didn't saw me. Then i was shooting webs at Buu from the plane (in the middle of the city between skyscrapers), hanging out the door.

      I can't remember more of the dream, except that it was in the spring (due to the color and brightness of the sunlight and the amount of green leaves and flowers growing) and that there was no blood or death in the whole dream, it didn't came to a fight with Buu and i awoke with a huge hangover from the evening before

    10. TofY Part 5 - Asia

      by , 02-17-2013 at 10:41 AM
      I lay down to WILD at about 9am, Sunday 17th Feb.

      It took a lot more effort for me to get into he WILD and to maintain the dream than usual. This makes me want to stick to my before bed method even more.

      When I 'opened my eyes' I was walking down the streets of China, through a giant market with so many people in it. Some of the colours were quite dull and dreary but the top of the stalls were a bright red and some had golden banners trailing down the sides. People were crowding round trying to buy items and food which smelt really peculiar.

      There was a tiny gap in the middle of the street as everyone was crowding the stalls and through it I could see this man getting stabbed, I sprinted down the gap, knocking people flying as I ran and skidded to a halt when I reached the stabbing. There were about 4 or 5 people committing the crime and the guy was still alive so I ran forwards a few more steps, spun around and kicked the knife out of one guy's hand before drawing my leg back in and kicking him in the face. The other people then dropped their knives and glared at me so I ran.

      I realized I was running alongside a massive wall and that I'd been stood in an archway before. I thought this had to be the great wall of China. I came to some stairs going the other way to the direction I was running and zipped up them, taking them two at a time and turning really sharply when I needed to.

      I eventually reached the top of the wall and began running back in my original direction. I kept running as fast as I can until I reached an 'invisible' barrier that just cut the wall in half. You couldn't see the barrier but you couldn't see past it either. I cursed and then panicked as I could hear the gang people coming up behind me. I walked to the edge and dropped down, clinging to a stone that was jutting out of the wall. I hid here until the gang had approached, looking for me and shouting as they couldn't find me.

      When I was sure they'd disappeared I climbed up and breathed a sigh of relief. I then remembered the task and reached into my pocket for a can of spray paint. One appeared, I pulled it out and started scrawling 'I survived' onto the pavement(?) of the wall and looked up when I saw some fierce looking Chinese people coming my way, about 9 or 10 of them in total.

      I stood up and waiting for them to approach, when they were about 3 steps away from me I spun and lashed out with my left foot, kicking people repeatedly as I spun closer and began whacking people with my hands, hoping I was doing the right thing as I kicked someone in the face. Eventually everyone was on the floor and I began to run off, tripping and apparating into my hotel room, sprawling onto the floor and laying there trying to catch my breath.

      The dream ended and lasted around 10-12 minutes.
    11. Remember Me

      by , 02-17-2013 at 05:21 AM
      It's been a while since I last had this familiar dream. Not the exact same one but it felt like the memories were coming back to me. I'm standing under a structure in front of an abandoned city. It was also raining. There was no one in sight. The last time I was here I was on a mission to kill a few people silently around the city. The city looked very beautiful. It sort of looks like Rome or France. I had no goal in this dream, I only walked around to see what would happen.

      I felt an unusual feeling when I stared at one of the buildings in front of me. I started to think about someone. I started thinking about Quynh. I pictured her in the same clothes she wore when I first met her in the waking world;green sweater, blue pants, and white shoes. I always picture her in the same clothes. I never once tried to summon the "new" her in my current dreams, I just can't. She was so beautiful before. Having the same feelings I had about her in this dream, they made me happy.

      I can't help to think that this place also reminds me of my sister's room. The last time I saw Quynh in my sister's room was when she was there alone and I walked in there to develop a special relationship with her.

      That wasn't the whole dream. I still remember the moment when I tried to summon her. I was at my parents' home. I was standing in the kitchen at night with no one in there at the time. One of the small lights on the kitchen counter was on. I don't remember being lucid but whenever I try to summon Quynh, I always try to make sure it's the real one.

      I tried summoning her by yelling out her name. She appeared after I yelled two more times. It didn't work. Instead of Quynh I got this smaller kid who looked a lot like my niece. I was disappointed and I wasn't sure how I was ever going to make it work. So, I done another technique. I grabbed on to her shoulders and asked, "Why aren't you Quynh?", "Why don't you look the same?!" Not the exact same words but I still remember asking something like them.

      It didn't work. I tried a few times and knew it wasn't going to work. This is all I could remember.
    12. Gorilla's Curse (February 16, 2013)

      Gorilla's Curse

      Most of my dreams last night were vivid, but unfortunately this one wasn't. There weren't a lot of details and I hardly remember anything. Me, Chris, and Lucia were sitting in a New York City park. They were trying to help me with the New York task of the year. They were reading a book that I found in a dream about a month ago. The book was said to contain over 500 spells I think.

      Chris and Lucia were fighting over the book and arguing about which spell to use. "We should use the gorilla's curse spell," Chris said. "Curses aren't good things! It could be permanent!" Lucia yelled. "Personally I think we should make a potion," I said. "Why?" Chris asked. "Well maybe it will only last a few minutes if it's a potion," I said. Doesn't sound logical now, but it somehow made sense at the time.

      I pulled a small vile of water out of my pocket. Chris then read something out of the spell book, but I'm not sure what he said. He cast the gorilla's curse on the water and it turned yellow. I then drank the potion. It tasted like lemon juice. After a few seconds, I instantly transformed into a giant gorilla in a puff of white smoke. I'm going to make a random guess that I was about 100 feet tall.

      I looked down and saw Chris and Lucia between my feet. I picked them up and dropped them on my right shoulder. "Now go climb to the top of the Empire State Building!" Lucia said. I walked through the city and made my way towards the tallest building. I was pretty much tip-toeing through the city, trying to avoid stepping on people and buildings. I'm pretty sure I didn't hurt anyone, but I stilled damaged a lot of cars and small buildings.

      When I came to the Empire State Building, I jumped onto it and used my gorilla skills to climb to the top. When I reached the top, there was a helicopter there. Inside the helicopter was Rick with an assault rifle. He pointed it at my face and started shooting at me. Luckily shooting a giant gorilla in the face will only cause minor bleeding, but it still hurts to be shot. I tried to yell at Rick to stop shooting at me, but a roar came out instead. Apparently my roar was powerful enough to blow the helicopter away into another building. The good news is Rick jumped out of the helicopter in time and grew wings to fly away. The bad news is he still wanted to get rid of the giant gorilla and called for back up.

      It wasn't long before military jets started flying by and shooting at me. Again, I will point out, it hurts to be shot. I managed knock down a couple jets before they fired missiles at me. The explosions from the missiles caused Chris to fall off of my shoulder. I tried to reach out to grab him, but I wasn't fast enough and missed. Lucia jumped off of my shoulder and dived towards the ground. She grabbed onto Chris and grew dragon wings. She then flew somewhere safe with him.

      While I was distracted by that, another barrage of missiles came flying at me. They knocked me off of the Empire State Building and I fell to the ground. I hit the ground pretty hard. My vision was blurry and I looked at my hand. I was in human form again. I'm not sure if I went back to normal before or after hitting the ground. I woke up shortly after I hit the ground.

    13. Flying Police

      2/16/13

      DILD

      This occurred during a long nap. All of the recent dream fragments before it were FA's with me trying to wake up. Mostly I couldn't open my eyes and if I went back to sleep in the dream, I would FA into the same situation.

      Also of note, I was able to get around my usual flying problem because my target was moving ahead of me.

      For a period of time we were driving fast down this mountain pass. I was not driving, but I could see a car ahead of us barrel into a turn and hit the guard rail. I told the driver to slow down. We hit the rail at the apex of the turn, but it didn't have much of an impact. It was like Grand Theft Auto where you can turn and use the walls to help you complete it.

      I was walking down the street of some town. There are a bunch of cars to my left in some traffic. I small, dark green hatch-back starts to maneuver strangely. I can tell it is trying to take off. I stop and look. It lifts off the ground and I yell, "Hey you can't fly in MY dream! I am the flying police...." I look to take off after the car but there is a ceiling of tree branches over the entire road. It is a thick mesh. I continue my statement, "....but I am out of my jurisdiction."

      I run to the side walk and the trees end. I spot the car in the sky and launch. I feel the strong pull of acceleration. The car is really far ahead, but I am gaining steadily. When I start to get close, it banks to the left and dips back down. I give chase. I realize that the back bumper is just out of my reach--around 2 yards. I try to use a spider web to pull it to me. It works and I grab the bumper (I didn't really see the web but the car shot back into my hand). I used some angular leverage and hurl the car back to the ground with all my force. I lose the dream with a fairly satisfied feeling.

    14. Traveling

      by , 02-16-2013 at 11:20 PM (LDS's Confusing Dreams of Oddness)
      Before I was lucid... This dream was confusing. Or, at least, I don't remember it well.

      I was in some house- it may have been a large apartment- and for aome reason, a bunch of people were coming inside. Like, they're all family, but this isn't my family. I became lucid for pretty much no reason. I was away from all the comotion, looking out the window. There was this midget (three feet tall?) next to me. He was old. For some reason, he wanted to come with me to do my lucid thing. I asked why that is necessary since he isn't real. But oh well, he came with me anyway, though I didn't think of him again. I started just flying, I was pretty low to the ground. Like, ten feet. While I was traveling, I wasn't paying much attention to the scenery (and I should....), but it ws mostly country. Like, there were random people, but everywhere was very unpopulated. Now and then I passed a house.

      At one point, I see something near the road I am flying over (yeah, I was only flying over a road the whole time...). It was, like, a foat man, sort of like from Narnia. His head was down, but then it was raised. It was my dad... I saw crude versions pf my mom and sister too along with what was supposed to look like our house.

      At one point, i decide that 'f,ying isn't fast enough'. So, i come up with this other way to move faster, though I didn't think it would work. And it did, even though I doubted it... My tush was on the ground, and I kind of sledded on the road....really fast, even though there was no incline.

      Eventually,I decide that I am done flying, so I catch up with this DC. I am in a place that is kinda the edge of a city, though i only saw one building, it was like an appartment building. I only see one DC, and he looks creepy, but I talk to him anyway. I start walking with him, and ask him a question. The dream wasn't vivid enough to understand him. Asking twice didn't help.

    15. 2/16/13 The weird Lucid

      by , 02-16-2013 at 10:48 PM
      I had i strange time with dreams last night, probably because i was dead tired,
      anyway here is the story.

      Lucid

      Side notes

      When i became lucid (I dont remember anything prior) I was running through the woods, running real fast,
      after a little bit I came to a opening to the woods, it was a dip in the woods and there was a cave so i ran inside there was a set of obstacles, all of which consisted of jumping on pillars.
      After about 2 sets of pillars there was a opening, inside there was a hut with a cottage, it had Kaira's symbol on the side so i think it was my perception of the Dream Army HQ, after that it faded to black and i woke up.


      That's about it i don't remember much if anything else.
