lucid

DreamLucidAwake

Basic TOTM

I was in some old abandoned building in the middle of the night. It might have actually been run down version of my house. There were a few guys with weapons and armor standing in front of a large mirror. The mirror was located about where my backdoor would be, so I found that a bit odd. Odd things must be questioned so I did a reality check. I became lucid after my dream energy reality check proved that I was dreaming.

Rather than picking up interest in those people and the mirror, I decided to look for something to eat. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a box of Lucky Charms and a jug of milk. I poured them into a bowl, grabbed a spoon, and walked back to the group of people. I sat down on an old chair and watched them while I ate. The image of a man formed in the mirror and jumped out of it. It was Chris I think. He showed everyone a fancy jeweled dagger and they all cheered. They put the dagger in a treasure chest with other valuable items.

Seeing that there was treasure to be found on the other side of the mirror made me very curious. I guess it's a dragon's nature to collect treasure. I walked over to their group to see what exactly was going on. Chris was about to greet me but stopped and asked, "What are you doing?" "Eating a bowl of cereal," I said casually. "Why?" he asked. "Because they're magically delicious!" I shouted. "Fair enough," he said. "So what are you guys doing?" I asked him. "We're collecting treasure from the mirror world. Want to try it out?" he asked. "Sure, I think I need to do this for the task of the month anyways," I said.

I walked towards the mirror and stared at it. It looked like a normal reflection, but my energy sense was detecting something inside it. It's hard to explain, but it was like the mirror was creating an extra dimension. I placed my hands on it and waited for something to happen. I tried applying a little energy to the mirror to get a reaction out of it. My hands and then my body started to become distorted and I was sucked into the mirror.

I became a 2D image inside the mirror. I looked back outside of the mirror and saw Chris wave to me. The image of Chris and everything outside of the mirror then became completely distorted for a moment and reformed into a new image. Outside the mirror it was still night time, but I was now looking at a castle courtyard. There was a man who looked like a priest or monk staring at me. A castle seemed like a good place to search for treasure, so I decided to exit there. I placed my hands on the mirror's glass again and pushed through. I slowly stepped out of the mirror and my body returned back to its 3 dimensional shape.

I was about to greet the priest and ask him to help me find the treasure. The priest pulled out a jeweled dagger like the one Chris brought back. He immediately tried to stab me, but I back flipped to a safe distance from him. I transformed into a black dragon in the middle of the flip. Even though he was a priest/monk there was a very sinister energy inside him. He charged towards me with the dagger again. I grabbed his arm and threw him over my shoulder.

I heard Chris's voice say, "Be careful, he's pretty dangerous." I looked around and tried to figure out where he was. I looked at the mirror again and saw him standing in the house on the other side. "Really? He seems pretty weak," I said. The priest got back up and made some quick stabbing motions at me. I dodged his attacks and blocked the last one with my claws. I then grabbed his stabbing hand so he couldn't stab me anymore. In my other hand I focused that green nature/earth energy stuff. I threw a punch at his chest with this energy and it was powerful enough to shoot him to the other side of the courtyard.

I thought that attack would have knocked him out, but he got back onto his feet. He then ran frantically up the stone stairs that lined the castle wall. "Wait! Don't chase after him. You need to stay close to the mirror," Chris said. I ignored Chris and chased after the priest anyway. It wouldn't be any fun to just end it all there. I also didn't think I should let this guy get away.

I followed him up the stairs to the top of the wall. There was some sort of shop on top of the wall at the side. I thought that was a bit odd. I sensed the priest's energy inside the shop and my danger sense activated. The shop exploded and a huge flame shot out of the front towards me. At the same time of the explosion, I slid myself over the other side of the wall and grabbed onto the edge. I just barely avoided the flame.

As I was about to climb back up, the priest jumped out of the flames and tried to stab my hand. I put my hand forward and let out a burst of ice magic. I froze our hands together before he could stab me. He karate chopped the block of ice around our hands to break it. He started running again while wrapping up his injured hand in his robes. Luckily dragons don't seem to get frostbite easily. I climbed back up to the wall and continued to chase after him.

He ran into a room at the corner of the castle and slammed a heavy steal door shut. I focused earth magic at the end of my tail as I ran forward. I jumped forward and struck the door with my tail and the door fell down. The room looked as if it were a small library where valuable books and scrolls were kept. The shock wave generated by my attack caused one of the book shelves to fall over. It landed on top of the priest and seriously hurt him. Amazing how all it took was a book shelf to defeat him.

I walked over to him to make sure he wasn't about to jump up and stab me again. He looked like he was on the brink of death to my surprise. He started to whisper something to me. I can't remember it clearly, but I think he was thanking me for killing him. He said something about a demon that had possessed him and forced him to do evil things. After he died I looked around the library. I picked out a couple tomes and scrolls for me to bring back.

I jumped down the wall and glided back down into the courtyard. When I found the mirror again I walked into it slowly. The experience was very similar to the first time I went through the mirror. The dream started to destabilize as I went through all of the distorted effects. I woke up before I got back to the other side of the mirror.

{This one is from last night.... 02 June 2012... Have posted an earlier fragment from same night}

(Lucid.... ??WILD with FA?? or WILD fail ---> DILD
Failed a WILD... I got to HI, visualised a scene of being at a fireworks display to have somewhere to goto
(Lots of the colour Orange and Yellow in the bonfire I imagined!!!)
but couldn't transition to full dream scene, gave up & went to sleep, ended up in DILD)

I’m in a mobile phone store (Orange), sat on a tall 'trendy stool' at a tall fake wood effect table.
The assistant (female, shoulder length natural blond) sat opposite me is pointing to important clause(s)
on the contract paperwork in front of me, and verbally stressing a few points
I'm not really reading the paperwork, instead I'm looking at the assistant, nodding my head, acknowledging what I'm being told... (shes pretty!! BTW)
I'm told the usual stuff about my talk plan.. Which I say I'm happy with, then ...
I'm told something about "blah blah blah section 921 of your agreement covers the Orange LUCIDITY subscription you've added, and how to access these services"
I said something like... "Yeah Yeah, I'm all OK with that... I think I know how it works, and what I'm doing..."
I laugh out load and say... "For all I know I could be dreaming right now"

I look down, and sign the paperwork... Then I try to REALLY read bits of it, but the words keep on 'evolving' and make no sense!! <LUCID>
(The feel of the stool I'm sat on, the table and the paper under my hands, and the warmth from the stores' pin-spot lights above me are my 'grounding points')
I look up again. The assistant doesn't acknowledge my 'I could be dreaming' comment, but instead tells me about
"ringing 921 from your handset for customer services"..
The assistant then gives me a copy of the paperwork and wishes me well in a "bye for now.. good luck" kind of way

I leave the store, and walk along the street a while. I walk along a normal street, then a tree lined avenue.
I find a bus stop, with four men and two women who are waiting at it...
... I decide it would be good to question them about dreams, and if they know they are in a dream...
... I talk to them for a while.. The different people have different 'individual' reactions...

A couple of them seemed hostile & annoyed that I suggested that "you are a figment of my imagination in a dream. You dont really exist"
... One tried changing the subject to his tropical fish?!?, the other hissed something about "Dealing with crazy people"
One of them blankly ignored me..
One of them thought it was funny, and laughed at it (but still evaded answering)
One of them acknowledged she was in a dream, but seemed more concerned what will happen to her when I wake..
One of them acknowledged he was in a dream, and he found it interesting... We engaged in a little conversation over it

I'm too busy chatting (& winding up) the DC's ... Soon it just goes fogs out to black

6/3 - WILD w/ two successful teleportations

The last couple nights I've been struggling with WILD after having two quick successes I was beginning to lose confidence. Last night instead of my normal WBTB I calculated when my REM cycles started based off when I would naturally wake up every night. I entered an alarm targeting my second REM cycle because I usually have fairly vivid and long dreams during that period.

I found myself awake with a very odd sensation. At the time I thought my alarm had brought me to waking state and I had very strong imagery. I decided to start WILD right away and about 5 minutes into the technique my alarm shocked me awake. I became wide awake and unable to sleep for about an hour.
The entire hour I was trying to fall asleep but I was unable to become relaxed. Finally I felt my body enter SP and I began attempting WILD.



Soon after I found myself falling into my dream. I became very excited because of how much I have been struggling the past couple days. I felt myself waking up and I quickly attempted to stabilize. My stabilization worked and I found myself in a black void. I closed my dream eyes and began visualizing my room. After visualizing I opened my eyes and found myself right where I envisioned. I was quite surprised and began walking around my house. After exploring I walked back into the room that my GF was in and she began talking to me while she was sleeping. I got the feeling she was trying to convince me this was a dream so I sprinted through the door and went into the bathroom.

At this point I began thinking about what I had planned for my next dream. I wanted to use the bathroom mirror to teleport into a land that would begin all of my dreams. I remember staring in the mirror and having a surprisingly vivid image of myself staring back at me. After observing the image I pushed my arms into the mirror. My arms went through the mirror like water. I began visualizing a wooded scene where I wanted to begin my dream. After thinking about trees and sunlight and buildings I pushed my way through the mirror and found myself placed in a valley surrounded by trees. I quickly took in my surroundings and turned to my right and there I found a old building with a wooden door covered in vines. I walked over to the door and tried to visualize a new area inside.

Upon opening the door I found myself in a room with a dirt floor, in the center of the room there was a small door. I walked over to it, opened it and there was about two inches of dug up earth below it. I turned away from the door and noticed there were no walls behind me. I walked outside the building and noticed quite a few abandoned homes that had missing walls and some that were complete with damaged air conditioners in the windows.

As I walked down the path I noticed a playground on the right side of the path. There were 3 dream characters playing on a swing set. As I approached them I said "This is a dream, you are within my dream" They tried to tell me this wasn't a dream and I replied by saying "If this was reality would I do this?" and I followed by ripping off all of my clothing.

I do not recall how the dream scene ended but soon after I found myself back within my room. At this point I was unsure if I was inside a dream. I walked into my bathroom and pressed hard on the mirror. My finger pushed slightly into the mirror and I recall thinking how crafty my mind was trying to make me think I was dreaming again. As I pushed my finger through the mirror I noticed my dog running over to me. I began floating and pushed myself into the next room. I recall interacting with my dog and shortly after I woke up.

#1 - Dream Drug OBEs [Non-Lucid]

My dad and I each smoked some weed laced with synthetic cannabinoids, at least a good few and including JWH-420, and we ended up having heavy out-of-body experience trips for a while. I don't really remember what happened other than a few flashes of color. When I finally started calming down and come back to "reality", I noticed that my dad was still pretty out of it. I went to my bed to lie down and turned off the lights, and then I woke up in my real bed.

Dream Fragment - There was a family party going on but I can't remember where, some swimming occurred, our family friend DE and my cousin GA were there and GA had apparently just come out of the closet, or something... and finally there was talk about going off to college, but I can't even recall who it was about.

#2 - Lucid Fragment Again [DILD]

All I remember is that I became lucid and I told myself I had to keep focus. And that's it. :T *sigh*

#3 - Creepy Party [Non-Lucid]

There was some really bizarre party going on with a bunch of people there, and I don't really remember much about it other than being scared and deciding to leave with O. We walked out to a parking lot and decided to meet up at my house, and when I got in my car I noticed that I was really high, and I felt it was off of a synthetic cannabinoid. I felt cautious about driving, but noticed it barely took me a second to be at some highway intersection. Soon after that I woke up.

#4 - Changing Rooms [Non-Lucid]

I was in some kind of clothing store and lost in what I wrote in my notes as a "matrix of rooms and bathrooms." Basically I was looking for a changing room, and there were rows and columns of hallways with rooms in between each intersection, mostly consisting of bathrooms and changing rooms that were too revealing, and occasionally just an actual hallway. I was walking around in a pink one-piece bathing suit and carrying lots of different clothes, and at one point I walked past a group of women just standing around and changing out in the open. They chuckled at me as I walked by distressed, I guess because I wasn't as willing to change in the open as them lol.

#5 - Lucid Nonsense [DILD]

No memory of when I was non-lucid, but I do know a good amount of things happened. I became lucid at my house and flew to the laundry room where some random guy was standing. I tried to punch him and it went in a sort of slow motion and he dodged it. I turned around and saw another guy standing in the kitchen, so I flew up to him and this time he tried to punch me, again in slow motion, but as he did I grabbed his arm and directed it towards the other guy, hitting him this time and seeing my face in the microwave door as I passed by it. My memory gets a little hazy at this point, but I talked to my dad to make sure it was still a dream, and then I touched some stuff to stabilize. I randomly decided to grab a bottle of mustard that was sitting on the kitchen counter and pour it on to the floor, but nothing came out despite there being a squirting sound. I told myself that the mustard must have covered the whole outside world! And when I looked outside everything had some mustard on it. I didn't really get to explore it, though. My vision got weird and I started seeing my arms resting in front of me like in a bed, and I started thinking that I must've been waking up and my eyes were opening. I fought it but eventually I just gave in.

False Awakening - I started typing up my dream and got a little less than half way through, but then I fully woke up and luckily didn't lose too much.

Dream; Semi-Lucid; Lucid; Memorable; 1-4 My Recollection;

I rested well, woke at 5:30am.

..I think I stirred in my room, I headed downstairs.
4; I seemed to have been in an understanding. I was running along a few LD's I recalled' as I went out the basement door. "Is this getting boring?" I asked. (I seemed to think I had been lucid for a good number of dreams.) LOL, I ran along in the dark pulling the stars down until they where visible. I rubbed my hands to avoid an FA. The dream blurred between a few concerts and the mall.

..I was on top of a few shelves and Mandy was sitting against the wall. I went over a few values with her in a brief storiyline.

..Previously I flew up on a balcony to see my brother.
I was flying along the streets, but it was dark so I headed back to find people. There where cute girls in the apartment.

Something After Me

[Had this dream at around 3:30AM, without expecting it at all, i was just normally sleeping ]

I was on the street close to my old school with my sister, when i got lucid, not sure why. I started running down the street, while my sister was yelling things at me, but i didn't care.
As i reached the end of the street, there was a huge hole in the ground and there was nothing anywhere anymore, like the whole ground disappeared. I couldn't see anything further in the landscape either... [It was somewhat like the end of the world or something].

Without any second thought i just flew up in the air in that same direction. I didn't know what i wanted to do, i just wanted to fly somewhere.
As i was flying, i thought about rain, so it started raining suddenly. It was good flying in the rain, but then something distracted me.
Suddenly i had a feeling that something/someone is following me. I had no time to look back, but sometimes a picture of a girl was flashing in. She had wings and her body was fully made of darkness, only her face was somewhat lighter.

She looked somewhat like this, without the weapon and her skin was made of darkness.

I wasn't sure what to do, so i kept flying faster and tried to get lost of her. [I think i lost some of my lucidity here, since she wasn't that scary actually].
As i was trying to escape, everything around me got darker and darker, when once i just popped out of the darkness and fell onto a wooden floor. I found myself in some kind of old shop.
[I gained back my lucidity here fully].

I looked around, but couldn't see anyone. As i was browsing through the stuff in the shop, i found a tiny mirror. This reminded me of the TotM of June, so i picked the mirror up.
It was too small for even my hand to fit through. I focused on it and wanted it to grow bigger, which somewhat succeeded, but still only my hand fit through, not me fully.
I took the mirror away and imagined a bigger one around me... i imagined as i walk through it... as my imagined self walked through the mirror, suddenly everything turned black.

I heard a noise and found myself in the shop again, but there was an old shopkeeper now too. [I lost lucidity here].
I told him to stop making noises, because i'm trying to fall asleep. I told him that i live in the shop....

[So yeah, i lost my lucidity which is not so usual for me, meh... My dream self was 100% sure that she was sleeping in the shop... no idea where i got that from]



----------------------------------------------------------------------


Brown Haired Girl

[This dream was at 8:30AM if i remember right, some time after my WBTB attempt]
[I fell asleep multiple times after it, but for some reason i still remember it well]

I was in our garden when i got lucid, i don't really remember what happened before.
As i got lucid i instantly remembered that i should try and search for Dreamprofessor. I thought about creating a door somewhere and walking through that to the place what we arranged as a meeting place
I also thought that i might try to find Lucy first and maybe bring her with me to Dreamprofessor...
I turned around in the garden, ready to go and do these, but then i noticed a short, light-brown haired girl in the garden.

She looked similar to this.

She looked really clueless and like she was searching for something. For some reason i got a feeling that she is related to Lucy in some way and i unintentionally summoned her with my thoughts before... I walked close to her and asked what is she doing, but i got no answer, just a glassy look.
She never looked at me, just at my hands or my legs. It seemed like she has some mental problem, so i stopped asking her things.

I decided to leave her there and go on my way... while walking away i noticed that starting from the neighbour's garden everything was dark like it was night there. Only the area near our house and garden was sunlit.
I was wondering about how to get out of there, since going throught the darkness wouldn't be a good idea... So i just decided that i'll create the door on the top of our house, because up there i can easily see if something goes wrong.
[Maybe i could've just tried creating daylight everywhere else or something, but i didn't think of that].

I stood near the wall and then started flying upwards, but it went suprisingly slow... I looked down and got totally surprised: That same brown haired girl was holding on my legs.
I looked at her and she still acted that weird, she wasn't looking at me, just at my legs and sometimes at the environment near us. She was also mumbling something during this time, but i couldn't understand.
I tried to shake her off my legs, which succeeded, she fell down, but grabbed onto a brick in the wall. [The wall had lots of bricks and things that can be grabbed on and it was also much taller than in reality].

She kept climbing towards me with that glassed look. When she got close, i tried to kick her off the wall, but i couldn't. I decided that i need more power for this. I charged up and let out a powerful force push from my hands towards her.
She couldn't hold on anymore and just slowly fell down to the ground.
I was satisfied that i got rid of her, but then i suddenly woke up....

[I probably woke up because of the noises my family made during this time... sigh]
[Maybe i should be less distracted by things like that girl and only aim for what i planned to do originally... ]

Ever since I have began my lucid dreaming journey, a journey which was in large part a result of my reading the dream journal of Hyu "http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/hyu/" I have longed to experience some of the amazing things which were, apparently, happening to my fellow DV members. Well, a few nights ago I had my chance.

My dream starts in a city shrouded in a constant fog. The thing that I remember most from before I gained my lucidity was the smell. It was that strange mix of decaying garbage and industrial pollutants unique to the slums of a thousand cities. My non-lucid self was wandering this city in search of something which eludes me now. I eventually had the good fortune to look up into the sky, as soon as I did, I gained lucidity from the mother of all reality checks. Note to self: if the moon has a face then either A-you are playing Majora's Mask or B- you are dreaming. Once I gained my lucidity I immediately began to more thoroughly survey my surroundings. The city appeared to be a steampunk meets bladerunner version of New York. Having looked around I immediately began to try to exercise some of my lucid abilities. I succeeded in a few minor telekinetic feats, such as knocking the hats off of a few DC's. "BTW if someone ever responds to you knocking their hat their head by telling you :Thank you sir, that hat made me look like a pretentious prick, you are probably dreaming." I quickly grew bored of telekinesis and decided to see what else I could do. With no real goal in mind I raised my hand above my head and snapped my fingers. What happened next is a memory which I shall carry for the rest of my days, with a snap of my fingers I had changed the very night sky itself. All of the stars had changed position and color. I saw stars blink out of existence and other, new stars, take their place. I saw whole galaxies simply appear out of nothingness, and spiral into impossible shapes. As you can probably imagine I was entertained by this for quite a while, I stood in place and snapped my fingers repeatably and just stared at the sky. I eventually had my fill of watching the stars and decided that it was time for me to try something a little more challenging. I have never succeeded in making a portal to anywhere in a dream and was initially at a loss for a destination, then it hit me. I was going to try to make a portal to Terraluna. It seemed rather appropriate that the location that inspired my lucid journey would be the first place where I would teleport to. I stared at the spot on the cobbled pavement where I wanted the portal to appear and focused on the idea of terraluna, on the image that I had formed from reading Hyu's journal. I began to speak out loud the command "take me to terraluna". Over and over, I repeated the command and as I did so the spot where I was focusing on began to smoke, then the beginnings of a black portal took shape over the pavement. I repeated my chant over and over with increasing conviction, but, to my dismay the portal wasn't stable. In the end my portal collapsed with a crack. I had failed to create the portal that I had been so intent on creating, but I had managed to create a very pretty black scorch mark on the ground. It looked like one of those mystic circles which have become so popular in anime and games in recent years. I was preparing to try again when I was woken by my alarm going off. I had failed in my attempt.

This isn't over. I am going to get stronger, develop my technique, and try again. No matter what it takes I am getting to Terraluna.

6th Lucid dream, Crystal clear, and flying success! (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was walking on a street that I hadn't seen before.

I've been doing a new kind of reality check, wich seems to be working very well. I might go into further details if i can make it work better.

I thought to myself, "This might be a dream.". I was walking on a overpass, where there was highway under. I was looking at the cars, while still thinking to myself, am i dreaming?

I looked at my hands, and counted my fingers. 1,2,3,4,5,6... 6?
I looked again, yep, there was 8 fingers on my one hand, and as allways, they where deform, and placed weirdly.

LUCID!
I thought to myself, "wow, I'm really having and LD.". But i also remembered to calm down, because I've allready tried waking once from over excitement, and I didn't want to do it again. I plugged my nose just to make sure i was actually dreaming, and yep, I could also breath through that.

I stopped walking, looked at my hands, and tried to pick out the details. IT WAS SO CLEAR! I honestly don't think I needed to clarify it, but i did. I looked at every little line i had on my hands, and i yelled, "Clarify, NOW!". I looked up, and everything seemed just like waking life!

I walked around a corner, and into some school concrete area. My mom was standing there for some reason. I said to her that I was going to fly, and she was like "cool, good luck.".

I ran forward, flapped my arms, and jumped.
And for the first time ever, had succes with actually flying in an LD.
i didn't go that far, or that high, but I know I could've if I wanted. That's a nice feeling .

So i flew a couple of times, and that was cool. I though to myself, "I should totally jump off a roof, and start flying mid-air. So I found a roof, but got a surprise when i got there. My friends was sitting at a bench right besides the house.

I said hi to my friends, and asked them if they wanted to learn to fly, only one of them said yes. I then took him by his arm and walked up a roof, yes, walked. It was a really weird roof, but it was perfect for jumping, so who cares ?.

I tried making him fly a bit, but it didn't rreally succeed. I then told him goodbye, because I wanted to do something else.

at this point, the dream was starting to fade.

I then said bye to my mum, and went onto the roof, jumped down, and flew off. I didn't get very far, until I woke up.

But there it is! My 6th LD!
This one was crystal fucking clear too! Nothing like the other ones.

It happened, it happened as randomly as I thought it would. There I was dreaming.... when all of a sudden I look down, raising my arm and i say/think "this is a dream".

I was dreaming before and after, but after that realization, all I can remember is my view fading behind me, going to 3rd person, then darkness.

But I could not forget. My dreaming eventually came back, which generally excessive dreaming leads to losing the ability to remember the early dreaming, but the moment of lucidity was not lost. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ................................ banana :O

6/2/12

LUCID
As stated in the title, Im already lucid. But Im asking my dream guide how to lucid dream It's like I'm in my bedroom. My dream guide there was my mother. I'm asking her but she's like lazy. So I waited there. I also rubbed my hands many times! To make sure that my lucid dream will not fade. I almost rubbed my hands every 1 minute. Im very conscious about the time.
.

NONLUCID
My family and I were running in the aguinaldo highway located in our country. We had a tour guide, my friend jerry. His sister were there too but I don't know what she is doing that time. Jerry guides us in our walk/run. He explains every water, river and so on. Then I run in to different way. I walked in the grassy pathway. Someone come over me and said "hey, is your hand moist?" I said no. But jerry, excitedly come in my way and said. Hey! Look at the grass, If your hands are moist, the grass will move. So i tried it and it work. But im not lucid though.

The dream started with me being in my room, and apparently we were moving out. My mother kept bugging me and constantly invaded my room searching for stuff and I got really pissed. The scene changes and we are in our new home (which actually is my old secondary home). I do an random RC and notice I'm dreaming, my mother isn't surprised at all. I look at my hands and rub them together to stabilize as I walk outside to try and stabilize further with a WSS, but as I used it the dream faded. Probably because it was at the end of the REM-phase.

Spoiler for Improvement Notes:

Didn't get lucid even after being annoyed in such an unusual way - bad
At least got lucid through a random reality check later - good
Immediately tried to stabilize, with some success - good
The dream stopped not a minute later - very very bad

DreamLucidAwake

Advanced TOTM

I was running in through a desert that I think was somewhere out west. I was already in my black dragon form and lucid. I'm either getting better at becoming lucid at the start of a dream or there were other events before that I had completely forgotten. I'm not even sure what my objective was in this dream.

From somewhere behind me I heard the sound of a train's whistle. For some reason the idea of riding a train came to mind. I ran over to the edge of a cliff that was to my right. I must have been on a mountain because there was a valley bellow. I saw some train tracks nearby at the bottom and knew the train would pass through any moment now. When the train was close enough for me to see it, I started to plan and estimate my jump. When the train got closer, I slowed down time so I could make a more precise jump. I made a powerful jump off the cliff and landed near the back of the train. I didn't really land on my feet though and somehow broke my right wing.

I slowly rolled over and sat up. It hurt to move around a lot and I was worried about falling off the train. I placed my hand over the part that was hurting the most and started to use my healing magic. After about 5 minutes of healing I was finally able to numb most of the pain. It was still broken though and it hurt to move it around a lot. I was about to work on healing it completely, but I started hearing some odd noises from inside the train cars.

I used my energy sense to try to take a look inside the train car below me. I could detect a bunch of people inside trying to open the doors, but I couldn't make a clear image. I pulled myself back onto my feet and walked over to the side of the train. I wasn't sure if this was the type of situation where I should help them get out or keep them locked in. It wasn't long before they broke the lock off and the door slid open. My energy sense started to become more focused and I could tell that their energies were more dark and sinister. I stepped back to the center of the train car and took a fighting stance.

These monsters that reminded me of goblins started to climb to the top of the train from both sides. I decided to wait for them to make the first move because I wasn't sure of how powerful they were. For some reason it was hard to use my energy sense on them. One of them drew out a short sword and charged straight towards me. I deflected his sword with my claws and pushed him back. From this I figured that they were actually very weak unless in large numbers. I then focused my energy sense on the other train cars and learned that there were two more with goblins inside.

I returned my focus to the goblins from my train car. They were carrying weapons like spears, swords, and maces. They had already gathered around me and prepared to attack again. As they charged towards me I focused poison magic in my claws and slowed down time. I managed to slash about 10 of them with my poison claws. A goblin with a spear came at me from behind and I barely had time to react. I quickly turned into a shadow cloud and the goblin went straight through me. The goblins then gathered around close to me because they knew I didn't have any place to run to and that my shadow cloud would wear off soon.
I actually did have an attack planned if something like this happened however. I released the shadow magic around me all at once. It blasted all of the goblins off the train or into the air. I then released a lightning surge above me and zapped the remaining goblins.

That one battle had already used up a lot my energy, so I decided to handle the next two train cars more strategically. I ran up towards the front of the train and stopped when I heard the doors of the second train car slide open. There was a rope hanging over the side of the train. It felt very out of place to me, but i decided to use the rope to my advantage. I grabbed onto it and swung pass the open door. As I did this, I shot out a powerful flame from my hand and lit the inside of the train car on fire. I swung back to the top of the train and ran towards the final car.

By the time I got to the final one, the goblins were already on the top of the train and ready to fight. I remembered my wind element and figured that it would be more efficient here. Rather than fighting them directly I could just knock them off the train. I let the goblins surround me as I focused on my wind element. When they charged towards me I let out a blast wind in all directions. They were all knocked off the train and I knew they weren't coming back up.

I started walking towards the front of the train again to make sure everything was taken care of. I looked out in front of the train and saw a bridge ahead over a canyon with a couple goblins on it. It looked like they were piling dynamite in the middle of the bridge. When the train got close to the center of the bridge, the dynamite exploded and left a big hole in the bridge. By this point I had already started running like hell towards the back of the train. I was running up the train towards the back as it was falling over the edge. When I got to the end, I had to jump up high to try to grab the bridge. I flapped my wings once to give me a boost. It hurt, but it was enough for me to grab onto the edge of the bridge and climb back up.

I sat at the edge of the bridge and went back to fixing my wing. As I was trying to heal my wing I could tell that the dream was starting to destabilize. I woke up as I was trying to fix my wing.

Dream; Semi-Lucid; Lucid; Memorable; 1-4 My Recollection;

4; I walked through an old Boys and Girls Club lobby. The way was filled with people slightly older than me. I faced one of the people everyone was looking at. He cackled and I drew my wand in defense. Before I knew it I was holding a powerful jet of light at his throat. In a story line he poured a burst of idea. Chakra and peeing... distracted, and before I recovered strength I was surrounding. A moment later I was being stabbed by a group holding shards of purple crystal and laughing.

I was laying in bed and I couldn’t fall asleep. Then finally I got relaxed and I felt I guess what is known as the roll over signal. I decided to roll over and see if I'd enter SP fast. So I began to enter sleep paralysis. I felt tons of vibrations and it felt like I was falling. It feels good so I just let my self go with it. But I did not ant a WILD or an OBE. It was dark in my room and I get freaked out sometimes so I move force myself out of the vibration state by moving again. Now I'm in my room thinking ah that was fun. At this point I am in a dream but I don’t realize. I remain in bed in the same position and I am still trying to sleep. I notice something weird though. Every time I close my eyes, no matter which direction I was facing, when I open them again, I see my room as if I was laying on my back looking forward. I don’t think much of this. I just figure that I am really close to falling asleep and when I close my eyes I am seeing developing dream scenes of my room. I continue to just lay there for a looong time. I am starting to get a bit suspicious though. I decide to get some water. I turn to the lamp next to me and try to turn it on. It wont work…. The knob that I turn to switch lights on even broke into my hand. I now know I am dreaming. I am a bit scarred since my room is really dark. Once my fears begin to grow I see a figure in the corner. I close my eyes. I put my fears aside for a moment and decide it would be cool to look at my phone. I feel around for it on my bedside table and find it. I press a few buttons and observe. The screen displays a bunch of random figures and scribbles. I toss the useless phone over the bed. It does not make the sound it should when it hit the ground. Now I think about how I am in bed wake, yet my physical body is in the same bed asleep. My fears begin to grow again and I’m worried I’ll start seeing things I don’t want to see because of my stupid fear.. I lay in bed and wonder how long this will last. I try waking myself up for a while. Until finally, one attempt succeeded.

Lucid Supermarket [DILD]

I don't remember much of the dream leading up to this part. I was in a supermarket and I suddenly became lucid. I even remember thinking something along the lines of "Oh, I'm lucid now." For some reason that escapes me now, I wanted all of the DCs gone so I told everyone to disappear, but they wouldn't cooperate. People would just look at me funny and continue shopping, so I gave up and started walking around. At first I said out loud that I need to find some bath supplies, but then realized I didn't really know what I was talking about it, so after briefly grabbing what seemed to be a bottle of shampoo or conditioner I walked over to the frozen foods section. I put my hand up against the freezer and it was legitimately cold. I turn left and to the right of me from behind the freezer my friend T has appeared. I haven't seen him in a while so he startled me a bit, and he just kept giving me this creepy smile. I looked away and another old friend, A, appeared to my left, with some really crazy hairdo. I said "Heyyyy, A" and grabbed her around the waist and pulled her toward me, and then I asked her if she wanted to put her hand on the freezer and feel how cold it is. After she did (or maybe not? hard to remember) I pulled us back and we both fell to the floor with her lying on top of me, still in my grasp. After that I pretty much woke up.
