      - WBTB DILD

      During a dream, I was with a friend at a nearby street. Out of nowhere I just realized I was in a dream and got super excited. I Climbed up to the top of a street light and jumped off flapping my arms like wings (the same way I always fly in non-lucids) I flew over a few houses eventually landing on a roof, and that is when I woke up.

    2. 5/30/12 Nap with a DILD :)

      by , 05-31-2012 at 04:25 AM
      I'm walking on the street to some sort of ball or festival dance or something. My best friend is with me. I notice that all the girls around us are wearing long pretty dresses, but my BFF is wearing dress pants and I'm wearing a mini skirt and tank top. We don't fit in at all. To make it even more obvious that we don't fit in, all the other girls are wearing these bright neon pins in the shapes of butterflies and dragon flies on big bows. I decide I want one of those pins because the tank top I'm wearing is white with neon colored butterflies. I Pull my BFF to this little store beside the road where I think I can buy them. The store is up on a hill, so we had to walk up the driveway/parking lot to get to it. I walk in and start holding bows with butterflies up to my dress to see how they look. I settle on a pretty pink one, and then discover that it's not a pin, but a hair bow on a clip. At first I try to clip it to my spaghetti strap, but then I decide to put it in my hair where it belongs. I turn around and there's a long mirror behind us so I start trying to put it in my hair. I start marveling over how pretty and long my hair is. It's straight and halfway down my back. In real life my hair is short and very naturally curly, when it's as long as half down my back it curls so much that it barely grazes my shoulder. Anyways, I start wondering why I didn't grow my hair out this long sooner, then I remember that I've been trying to grow my hair out. It's just that my hair doesn't grow that fast! This has to be a dream! I immediately drop the hair bow and walk out the door. My bff follows me and asks what's wrong. I tell her I'm dreaming, and I'm lucid right now! I tell her to call Kurasawa for me and tell him to meet me in a little gypsy like tent nearby that looks like something a palm reader would be working out of. Then I walk off and leave her b/c dream character Ambies isn't the real thing and I didn't want to waste my time with her. I walk over to the tent, and find that it's got a fire inside of it, and it's not really a tent at all, but some sort of decorative fireplace that only looked like a tent from the distance. I feel kind of disappointed, but there's a building nearby and I think I can go in there to wait. At this point I lose my lucidity though I see my husband inside and he wants me to go somewhere or do something, and I tell him I can't because I'm waiting for Kurasawa. He gets all mad and jealous about the fact that I'm waiting for some other guy, and then I can't remember the rest of what happened.

      Yay for lucidity though! lol I'm noticing I can't stand being inside when I find that I'm lucid. I guess since that second lucid I had where I was trapped inside and couldn't open doors because I was afraid they would be locked. Now I feel like every time I'm lucid I have to go outside to do anything, or else I'll be trapped inside in a "normal" world. Every lucid I've had in the last month has been like, "Yay! I'm dreaming!" *walk to the door* I might make it a goal to stay INSIDE during a lucid to break that habit and train myself to be comfortable with my lucidity where ever I am.

    3. DILD followed by WILD

      by , 05-31-2012 at 03:50 AM (WILD Dream Journal)
      5/30 - DILD followed by WILD

      Last night I attempted WBTB after my 2nd REM cycle. At approx 3:30 I went on the computer for roughly a half hour. After going back to bed and attempting WILD I fell asleep missing the imagery. I found myself placed in a hallway. Initially I was not aware that I was dreaming but shortly after taking in my surroundings I pieced together that I was indeed dreaming.

      As I started to realize I was dreaming I began running. I tried to run down the hallway as fast as possible and soon doors were flying by left and right so fast they were becoming blurry. As I reached the end of the hallway I stopped and In my mind it became very clear that I was dreaming. At this point excitement set in and my dream scape faded to black. As I was losing my dream I remembered to rub my hands together.
      Oddly enough I began focusing and could feel the sensation of rubbing my hands together. I found this experience to be weird because within my dreams I never recalled having any type of dream body. When I decided in to rub my hands together in the blackness of my dream it just happened.

      After stabilizing my dream I found myself in outer space. I believe this was due to my lack of concentrating on a new dream scape. I saw dots and immediately assumed they were stars in the distance. I recall using a swimming motion to fly closer to the stars (this flying was accompanied by pure excitement and I even recall saying "weeeeeeee"). As I approached the stars began to split. When I got closer to them I began to think they looked like white doves. I flew around for a couple minutes and I do not recall why but soon after I woke up.


      This DILD got me very excited and upon waking up I was filled with excitement and as a result I felt wide awake. After writing pages in my dream journal about every little detail I could remember I thought it would be a perfect time to attempt a WILD.
      I put my sleep mask on and laid down. Soon sleep paralysis ensued followed by imagery. The transition into my WILD was quick and almost effortless. I recall struggling in my last WILD to enter my dream but last nigh my dream began quickly in a bang of white light.
      I woke up inside my dream and found my self laying down on the passenger seat of my truck. I slowly raised my head to find that my truck was driving down the road without any one steering the wheel. After thinking about this for a second suddenly my mind drifted into the beautiful surroundings outside my my window. I looked out my driver side window and there waterfall after waterfall. Above the waterfalls was a perfect blue sky without a cloud in sight and I recall being encapsulated by the amount of detail I was observing.
      The colors and images I experienced in my dream were more detailed, colorful and vivid than anything I've ever seen in my conscious life. Thinking about the detail I observed in this dream still amazes me as I am writing this.

      After observing the waterfalls for quite some time the waterfalls began to repeat in a pattern of three. Every third waterfall would be the same and they would be separated by a passing tree. I decided that now would be a perfect time to attempt teleportation into a new dream scene. I closed my eyes and began thinking about where to teleport. During my waking life I had a planned dream scape but being in the dream my thought process wandered and I found myself wanting to teleport to my last vacation which was in Las Vegas.
      After deciding I quickly said to myself "when I open my eyes I will be in Las Vegas" After saying these words I began a count down from 5 and upon reaching 3 I recall hearing the sounds of slot machines and people chattering. When I opened my eyes I recall seeing a floor pattern forming. The dream scape detail faded quite dramatically but the detail in my dream characters remained vivid. After the floor pattern formed my focus shifted from the flooring to a building I was placed inside. I recall thinking it resembled a college building.
      There were a lot of glass windows filled with people and as I started walking I found myself mixed in with a group of three people. I do not know who these people were but they were following me. I decided to explore the building and recall entering a stairwell to get to other floors within the building. As I began climbing the stairs I recall seeing floor after floor of empty space. There were rooms but no people. I kept climbing searching for more places and eventually decided to try to teleport to Las Vegas again. I closed my eyes and repeated "when I open my eyes I will be in Las Vegas" I started a countdown and opened my eyes and found myself in a new area. This was outside and there was a large group of people. At this point I stopped trying to teleport to Las Vegas. I recall thinking about my dog and shortly after I saw her running by. I called her and she stayed with me for the rest of my dream. I recall beginning to walk and I was trying to think of things to do. One of the things that came to mind was a reality check. Even though I was completely aware of my surroundings I became excited at the thought of experiencing a reality check inside of a dream. I looked at my hand, which previously I've never seen in a dream and tried to push my finger through my hand. I focused on it and slowly watched my finger tip disappear and re appear on the other side of my hand. Soon after performing this reality check some kind of authority figure ran up to me and started an altercation. I began to lose my focus in my dream and decided I needed to perform a reality check to bring my awareness back to 100%. I looked down at my hand again and tried pushing my finger through my palm. After pushing for a second I found my finger just sitting in my palm. It would not push through and I recall becoming confused. I returned my focus to the authority figure and recall him bringing out a miniature bat shaped baton. After I saw him pull out a weapon I began thinking this is a dream I know I can push my finger through my hand. I attempted to push really hardly through my hand and after a second I was successful. After doing the reality check I gained confidence and grabbed the baton on the end. I remember squeezing it and my hand began sinking into the bat. I raised my view slightly and began staring at the officer and he slowly began drifting into the air. At this point I let go of the baton and walked away from him. I began thinking about what to do again within my dream and I remembered thinking about my dog and recalling how she just seemed to appear. I decided to attempt to summon my girlfriend into my dream. I closed my eyes and this time instead of saying things I just began visualizing her. My eyes remained closed for a short period of time and I opened then and my girlfriend was staring at me with a blank stare. The level of realism I experienced shocked me and woke me up instantly.

      Tonight I will be attempting WBTB again and I am feeling confident about entering another WILD. The lack of effort that it took to enter my dream last night has given me an extreme confidence boost when attempting WILDs. I've noticed my attitude shifting away from conscious anxiousness and towards calm passive states.

    4. Templars

      by
      Hyu
      , 05-31-2012 at 02:53 AM (Hyu's Adventures)
      I was visiting weird planets with Yuya as I often do in a rather deep dream that had been going on for multiple hours.
      Then this happened:

      There it is, a feeling all too familiar that I have not experienced in a long time.
      I am scared... so fucking scared.
      Fortunately my body reacts on its own, powering up and thus protecting me from the overwhelming pressure off the aura that has just appeared.
      I know this feeling all too well, even though it has been such a long time since I've last experienced it.

      This is very unexpected.
      I have lately gone out of my way to get into trouble, because there is nothing like the fear you experience during a fight where your opponent is actually strong enough to kill you.
      But in such fights, it is more of a mixture of fear and excitement you are experiencing.
      The feelings of a true fights are difficult to explain, but there's a very special vibe to them that is oddly fascinating.

      But this... this isn't.
      There is no excitement, there are no feelings associated to those of a good fight.
      This is pure fear.

      Usually I gradually power up during fights, trying to find a good balance so that I am on a similar level to my opponent, because that makes things most interesting.
      But this time I'm not. My body instinctively powered up all the way.
      And I will need every single bit of strength if I want to survive this.

      Fucking Templars who hunt me down because the god from their delusions told them so.
      If only they weren't so ludicrously strong.
      I can't afford anything less than a perfect level of concentration.
      The first time I encountered one of them, I had both Yuya and Silver with me and I still came close to dying on multiple occasions.
      To top it off I only managed to win the fight by using an ability that I can only use once every few years.
      And that was a stray Templar, possibly weaker than the one I'm facing right now.
      http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/hyu/...dragons-18805/

      The second time I was in a room full of portals, and managed to make a run for it.
      This time I won't have a choice. We'll have to fight.
      They are so fast that I won't be able to draw my phoenix wings without creating a very short opening, inevitably resulting in my death.
      Yes. They are that fast. There is zero room for errors.

      "The true lord demands your death Anassasi."
      "I couldn't care less about your delusions."
      "Oh but you should. Your death is inevitable, regardless of how much you try to resist us."
      "The Templars will hunt you for all eternity."



      He plays with his staff in a taunting manner.
      It's odd. Regardless of how much hate there is during a fight, if both parties have considerable strength, there is always a certain degree of respect. Even if it is only the respect in your opponents strength.
      And an element of excitement, because only rarely do you have the opportunity to go all out if you are this strong.
      But with Templars there is none of that.
      There is only the urge to survive.
      And them? I'm not even sure if they have feelings at all besides hatred for certain dreamers.

      I know that WakingNomad has encountered them as well. I used to call them Paladins, but after reading that he calls them Templars, the term has somehow emerged into my dreams.

      Yuya has casted her water spheres and her aura is clearly on edge. But even like this there is an inexplicable beauty to her aura, even if she is ready to kill.
      If only our truly overpowered abilities would work against them.
      They are immune to both my dragon eyes and Yuya's water extraction technique.
      I'm not sure if they have any water in their bodies.
      They have a certain artificial look to them. Maybe it is because they never show any emotions besides hate.

      "Today the dragon will die."

      I grip my katana tightly. It is fully of energy and vibrates strongly in my hand.
      I am perfectly focused on him. I am waiting for the slightest of changes within his aura.
      There is is! A small twitch... and he is gone.

      He appears right in front of me, but I was perfectly prepared for his blink and am already midway in my own blink, bringing me only slightly out of reach of his staff.
      It hurts!
      I had forgotten that any proximity to their aura causes a feeling of pressure so strong that you think it could burn off your skin.
      But it doesn't feel like the heat of fire, it is what I assume it would feel like if you got an acid burn.

      It's go time.
      I charge towards the Templar and clash my sword into his staff.
      I cannot comprehend how their staffs can deflect such power. It doesn't feel like they charge any energy onto them.
      Any material should easily break in such a situation if you don't.
      Yuya is throwing her spheres against him, and occasionally casting high pressure water beams into his direction.
      But they are simply deflected by his armor in the same manner his staff is deflecting my sword.
      It is so frustrating.

      My aura is right at the edge of hurting my own body. The vibrations are only barely bearable.
      I see the sky red and the clouds burning. My blood is boiling.
      In such a state I need to be careful not to accidentally damage my own body.
      Yuya is pushed slightly outside of the battle my various pressure attacks.

      "Do you know how we kill a dragon?"

      A device on his staff activates and my katana is teleported and trapped against it.
      He smiles and charges at me with his staff.

      "The last Templar who thought so is long dead you fool."

      This trick may have worked once, but I'm not falling for it again.
      I cast my katana away and re-materialize it in my hand.
      He didn't expect this. Maybe I can force a small opening.
      I skillfully bring myself into a better position.
      Yes! This is perfect, I got him at a dead angle.
      I charge all the energy into my sword that I can manage and swing it against the right side of his abdomen as he passes me.
      I can feel it clashing against his armor and releasing all of its energy. A perfect hit!

      Coldness. Shudder.
      I blink instinctively, but slightly too late.
      A sharp pain emerges from my left shoulder.
      How did he manage to reposition himself like that?
      He was to my right and I clearly hit him hard.
      How did he manage to cut into my left shoulder?
      And why the fuck does his staff have retractable blades?

      The situation calms down as we all got some space between us.
      Fuck, I have to fight on my own for a split second and I'm already wounded.
      I feel blood slowly streaming down my arm.
      Usually the dragon aura would naturally take care of it and close the wound, but there's something about a Templars aura that prevents such in-combat healing techniques.
      I cast fire onto the skin surrounding the wound and burn it shut.
      It hurts, but I have so much adrenaline in my body that it isn't as bad as it sounds.

      Then I notice that Yuya is wounded as well, though only superficial.
      She has a small cut on her left arm, and she appears to have frozen the wound shut.
      This is not going well.

      I inspect the Templar in the hopes of spotting some serious damage dealt by my last attack.
      There is a dent in his armor.
      Are you fucking kidding me? I landed a perfect hit!
      I hit him so hard that the changes of air pressure around him caused extensive damage to the ground surrounding us.
      But his armor? A fucking dent?
      How are we supposed to beat him?

      The fight continues, but it quite frankly isn't looking good for us.
      He manages to land near-hits on us with nearly every try, whereas all of our attacks bounce off his stupid armor.
      If only Silver was here. But he isn't, and he won't come.

      I'm starting to become exhausted.
      Templars don't seem to suffer from this issue. The longer this fight will drag on the worse our situation will become.

      Alright. Time for more risky tactics.
      I lower my katana slightly, giving the Templar an opening if he charges me head on.
      And sure enough he comes right at me.
      Time nearly stops. I see him slowly approaching me during one fast leap.
      He's moving so fast that pressure waves are building around his body.

      Yuya's aura is clearly alarmed. She is very worried about me... and... so am I.
      Was this really a good idea? What was I thinking?
      I haven't used this ability in years, I can't even remember it properly.
      It's to late to question it now... just go with it.

      I slightly lower the dragonic energy in my body. Any hit now and I am most certainly dead.
      I shift all the energy into the right side of the blade of my katana.
      Then I rapidly focus phoenix energy within my body.

      This is a horrible idea. It is so dangerous to do this.
      Dragonic energy is demonic in nature, whereas phoenix energy is divine.
      Like fire and ice. Matter and Antimatter.
      Any mistake will rip my body apart.
      I do not have the experience I had a few years ago, and even then, as mad as I was, I respected and feared using both energies at the same time greatly.

      My eyes and my dragon tattoo begin to hurt intensely.
      They are being attacked my the divine energy.

      I increase the phoenix energy until it reaches the same level as the dragon energy.
      Then I funnel it into my blade as well, but on the other side.
      I now have two independent energy circuits running through my blade and body.
      But they draw their power from the same source: my aura.
      I need to divide my concentration.
      Half of it to make sure I do not kill myelf.
      The other half to coordinate my attack.

      My katana begins to vibrate heavily.
      I turn the dragon energy into heat. A heat greater than that of suns, probably only matched by the pressure within a black hole, something only a dragon can do.
      With my phoenix energy I do the exact opposite. Absolue zero. The temperature at which everything stops, an ability exclusive to wielders of divine energy.
      Both touch only at the edge of the blade.
      This causes the laws of physics to break down.
      Such opposing forces cannot occupy the same space, yet they do at the very edge of the blade.
      An intense pressure vortex forms around my blade because the air surrounding it no longer has any idea how to act.

      I swing my katana at the Templar, who is now only centimeters away from me.
      The intense pressure emerging from my sword closes the opening I gave him earlier.
      This has to work. This is one of the most powerful techniques I know of, and I am risking my life to perform it.
      It is not a dragon ability, nor is it a phoenix ability.
      It is my ability. Mine alone. A combination of powers only I could use on the most extreme level.
      If this doesn't hurt him nothing will.

      As I swing my katana towards him. I no longer manage to contain the force within.
      Some energy leaks out, causing intense vortexes around us.
      It emits a pure, blinding light.

      And then, they finally clash.
      My katana and his staff.
      The explosion of energy is beyond anything I've ever experienced.
      My senses shut down to protect my body from the intensity of the situation.
      It is like witnessing the big bang. The emergence of a sheer infinite supply of energy from a tiny point in space.

      My senses slowly recover...
      The energy in my body is completely unstable. Both the dragonic and phoenix circuits have completely shut down.
      As my vision normalizes I can see the disaster I have caused in front of me.
      The entire landscape is partially frozen and partially on fire.
      A huge crack in the landscape, starting at my feet, reaches kilometers into the distance.
      At some points it is multiple meters wide.
      And that was caused by nothing but the side effects of my technique.
      The energy released by the attack was all directed perfectly towards the Templar, none of it touched my surroundings.

      I turn around, still in slow motion.
      He must be dead. Please be dead.
      As I turn I notice my katana burning in a bright blue flame.
      It is vibrating at an immensely high frequency, emitting a very high pitched tone.
      No other material would ever have been able to contain the energy needed for this attack.
      It was forged using parts of my dragonic and phoenix energy,
      designed specifically to be able to hold these forces for short periods of time.

      And then I see him, turning around as well.
      Our eyes meet.
      He is not dead.
      And he is angry. Properly mad.
      He swings his fully intact staff back into an attack position.
      We are so screwed.

      But then, a flicker of hope.
      The chest plate of his armor shatters and drops to the ground revealing a long cut reaching all the way from his shoulder to his abdomen.
      But even though the wound is deep, no blood is coming out of it.
      He is clearly wounded though.
      But so am I.

      My aura took quite a hit. It wasn't him though.
      Even though I controlled both energies perfectly I still damaged my aura.
      But the damage is low and mostly superficial.
      Small arcs of lighting are shooting across my body because of it.
      I'm still operating my aura at the absolute maximum. The arcs are caused by energy leaking out of the tiny damaged spots.

      But then all the hope I just gathered vanishes.
      A second Templar emerges from a portal.
      And the first one doesn't even seem to be in that bad of a shape after my attack.
      We need to run. We need to run now.
      But I don't know how.

      Energy emerges from below the ground. Yes! There's still a chance.
      During the short downtime Yuya managed to collect a huge concentration of water below the ground and cast her Leviathan.
      It bursts out from below the ground and both the Templars disappear within it.
      An attack of truly godlike proportions.

      But this won't be enough time. It'll buy us maybe a tenth of a second, not enough to cast my phoenix wings and get us out.
      I need to buy more time.
      I blink towards Yuya and summon the huge phoenix wings on my back, and focus as much phoenix energy as I can.
      I will block a single attack.
      This should provide enough time for Yuya to draw a portal.
      Maybe portaling will buy us enough time for me to use the phoenix teleportation, which they cannot follow.
      This is one of the situations where it is truly advantageous that we share our thoughts.

      I stand strong before her, surrounding us with a divine energy shield.
      I'm putting all the force that I have left into it.
      Yuya is casting a portal on the ground in the mean time.
      Point one of a second... come on!

      A beam of light breaks the Leviathan body and hits my energy shield hard.
      A purely energy based attack.
      The ground around is disintegrates under the force.
      Only the parts within my shield remain intact.
      But I won't be able to hold this for the tenth of a second we need.
      It will collapse too early.

      I start shrinking it to conserve energy.
      Right now it is encompassing my huge phoenix wings. I won't need those to survive.
      I shrink it all the way down until it only protects our bodies.
      My wings burn to ashes as they touch the outer limits of the shield.
      It hurts. It hurts so much.
      How long can a tenth of a second last?

      My wings are nearly completely gone now.
      We are kneeling, the shield diameter is down a meter and a half.
      And then finally the portal forms below my feet and we fall through.
      We enter the wormhole created by the portal.
      Blood from my broken wings streams into it.

      It goes far... very far.
      Yuya casted a portal towards a location much farther away than I've ever been.
      This might buy us the time we need.
      We emerge from the other end of the wormhole, onto a barren planet.
      I immediately summon the phoenix wings on my left arm and try to make us enter the fabric of space and get us home.
      Yuya nearly collapses under the exhaustion of having casted this portal right after the Leviathan.

      The wings materialize and I can sense our bodies shifting into the fabric.
      Both Templars appear out of nowhere closely in front of us.
      But this will work. This is enough time.
      The wound I caused on one of them is already in the process of healing.
      What the fuck? How... ?
      The other one smiles at me.

      "Run little dragon! Run! We will get you soon enough!"

      Followed by a maniacal laughter.
      Finally we disappear into the fabric of space and are transported to Haven.
      As we emerge, we drop to the ground exhausted.
      My entire body is shaking, either from fear or because I pushed my body too far, I'm not sure.

      "I'm sorry. I thought we had more time."

      I knew it would happen. Somewhere deep within I knew it would happen after I fought the first one of them.
      He was weaker, sort of a run-away or something, no longer obeying the Templar collective.
      I never imagined that the others would be so much more powerful.

      "I need to become stronger... much stronger."

      She looks at me in a very sad way.
      I have never seen her sad before. She is always so happy and full of energy.

      "I'm so sorry. I did not bring you back for this, I don't want you to have to fight again."
      "Of course you didn't. But it is inevitable. I will have to fight. I will have to fight again."
      "If this is what it takes to be here again then I will fight... "

      I look at my still shaking hands.
      I am so strong already. So immensely powerful.
      Yet, I still stand no chance against them, no chance whatsoever.
      Not even in a two on one fight.
      I think about the journey ahead of me.
      I'm going to need help... I'm going to need a lot of help...
    5. Haleakala Volcano (The Warriors of Dreamviews)

      by , 05-31-2012 at 12:29 AM (Mancon's Wild and Crazy Adventures in the Dream World)
      Hey, everyone! Summer is here which means I have more time to post more dreams!

      For all of you reading this that haven't heard of the Warriors of Dreamviews click here.

      About the volcano: "Haleakala Volcano: Our troops were attracted to some powerful source of energy located inside the Haleakala Volcano area, it turns out though that it was a large trap and now we have many high ranking officials trapped. Our forces there are outnumbered 50-175 and we are in dire need of weapons. Id suggest you save the supply truck in the grand canyon before going here."

      I decided to go to the volcano first anyway.


      Method: WILD
      Location: Base Outside Volcano

      I was laying in the middle of a dirt street, right by a large, white tent. I knew that this was the recruitment office and the dream warrior base close to the Haleakala. I walked inside the tent and saw a small hole in the ground with a ladder leading me down. I went down and found myself standing in front of a wooden desk.

      A tall man with long brown hair looked up at me. He was wearing a blue robe that reminded me of a snuggie. He asked if I was interested in joining the war. I told him that I would love to join. He gave me a form to sign. All the words on the page didn't make any sense, but I signed it anyway. He told me that if I signed that form with bad intentions, I would have died right then. That was how they kept spies out of the base. He said several spies have tried to get in already. He then said his name was Bryan and told me it was time for me to duel in a spar. They wanted to see how good of a fighter I was. If I won, I joined.

      Bryan led me deeper into the base until we reached a shiny, metallic door. It opened automatically after a few seconds and we walked in. The room was fairly large, made almost all of metal, except for the middle. There was a square area in the middle area made out of dirt. I went up to it but something kept me from walking in. Bryan told me this is where I was going to spar and that invisible walls were keeping me out until I was ready to fight.

      Bryan took out a small device and started to type something on it. I heard a buzzing noise and saw myself in the arena. He told me that I had to duel my doppelganger. The only rules of the spar was that we didn't kill eachother. The first person to knock the other out won. The doppelganger didn't move and started to creep me out. I told him I was ready....

      He gave me a sign and I walked into the arena. This time the invisible walls let me go. The dirt had heat radiating from it. 1...2...3...GO! The doppelganger charged at me. I had a weird feeling he would try to knock me off my feet first. Sure enough, he came sliding trying to kick my feet. I jumped up and landed on his back before he reached me. I grabbed his back and a bright white light emitted from my hands. We were both shot back against the invisible walls and he was already knocked out!

      I looked over at Bryan and he looked shocked. He asked how I managed to emit a white light from my hands. I told him that it was a lucid dream and you could do anything. He still looked confused. (He is a DREAM warrior. He should know this stuff >.<) Bryan led me out of the room and said they were planning a raid on the volcano in an hour and to meet at the top of the ladder then.

      I roamed around the base and found some other warriors. I asked them about the mysterious energy source inside the volcano that drew the others in. They told me they figured out there was a sort of "second sun" inside the center of the volcano. The sun is where the Drottnar was getting their energy. It put you in a trance if you don't have the right protection. It would draw you in and you would need high willpower to overcome it. They told me that tonight the energy would be lower and we would be able to raid. I don't remember them telling me why it would be lower. I then asked about the shortages of weapons and they told me they managed to make some of their own but still didn't have a lot. I told them I would just use some of my dream powers to help. Just like Bryan, they looked confused. After that, they gave me a small sword.

      The warriors told me it was time to go. I followed them up the ladder. About 50 soldiers were all gathered at the top. One handed me a small orb and told me it would make me invisible, which is how we would sneak up on them. I touched the orb and felt a pulse go through my body. Everyone else was gone. So we took off and stealthy ran across the green field towards the volcano. As we got closer the suns energy started to pull us in. I snapped out of it, but a couple people went absolutely crazy. They dropped their orbs and ran at full speed into the volcano while yelling. Crap.

      Some Drottnar saw the unmasked ones coming up and alerted everyone else. Right before we were about to raid about 140 Drottnar came out. They had a dark red aura all around them and were pale as vampires. A feeling of cold swept over me. I had my sword and we all charged. The enemies didn't even look intimidated. They walked slowly towards us. I saw the Drottnar putting their hands on the dream warriors. A red glow lit up their bodies and the dream warriors were turning into Drottnar....

      Warriors everywhere we dropping. There was only about ten of us left and I was warding everyone off with my sword. When I cut them with the sword, they started to heal at a fast rate. It looked like we were loosing. I could still feel a pull of energy on my body kind of dragging me along.

      Screw the sword. There was water nearby and I decided to try my favorite dream power, water bending. I put my hands out and moved the water through the air towards me. It surrounded me, forming a large sphere. I told what was left of the dream warriors to come inside and stay close to me. I let the water build up and suddenly let it shoot away with full force. Most of the Drottnar slipped and fell down the volcano. I noticed when water touched them the red aura suddenly vanished. The pulling sensation from the "second sun" got weaker. Much weaker. There was a loud bang and they were all gone.

      The other dream warriors and I went back to base, and figured out that the water did something to the Drottnar. It might help us greatly in future battles. We believe there are still Drottnar in the volcano and their plan is to turn the lucid dreamers into them. After that, I woke up.


      This dream probably lasted around 40 minutes and was very long and realistic. It had to be one of my favorite dreams I have put on DV yet! I wish I could somehow take a video of my dream and show it to you guys! Maybe sometime in the future...

      Thanks Suck4luck! I hope more people join the battle.

      Got it? Great! Now enjoy reading my dreams.


      Ok, now it seems that i've gotten back into the swing of things with this dream of mine. Although, if i get called on a new job opportunity soon, that may reduce my chances of dreaming like i use too. Soo, what i am going to do is, try and do weekend dreaming.

      I'll just save my dreams onto my computer file, and post them whenever i can. Been doing more reality checks with my totem too, so it has appeared quite a few times in my dream i had. Looks like im back on board...for now that is.

      Lol, ok enough talking..here are my dreams!


      Dream #1 Making moves.

      Spoiler for Theme Of The Dream:


      Im in my 2nd home packing up some items in my suitcase. I notice that i see my hawk coin totem on the kitchen counter and put it in my pocket. (What a missed reality check there) I go to the den and start putting some clothes in the suitcase, and trying to hurry up. I go back into my room and my celphone rings and its Natalia. She tells me..

      (Natalia talking)

      "Don't forget to stop at your 1st home, we need those files."
      I tell her ok, and start looking around to see if im forgetting anything. I hear a cab blowing outside of my house, and head out the door with my suitcase.


      Dream #2 How to take care of business.

      Im in a hotel projected as Natalie Raitano for some reason. Its night time, and im holding a guy off of the edge of a balcony telling him to give me all of the information, or else i will drop him. The guy is screaming and yelling as im holding him by his ankles. I notice Blaze is with me too. She says something about we can always moniter his calls or something like that.

      "Oh yea, that is true huh?"
      We pull the man up and i grab him by his collar and tell him to make the call now. He starts calling someone, and thats all i remember there.



      Dream #3 Getting closer.

      Im still projected as Natalie Raitano, and im creeping thru a long hallway.

      There are corners that i stop at, and peep around while holding a silencer. I see a few men waiting by different doors and i shoot at each one of them. I now make my way thru one of the doors, and find a huge table with a list of names on it. I become lucid right here though only briefly, a man enters the door and asks me if i can help him search for someone. I told him who was it, and he mentioned his daughter. I leave the room and ended up walking with this old man, and started losing lucidity here. The man starts talking about how he wishes he could go fishing, or some shit like that..and i ended up waking up because of that.


      Dream #4 Top Secret.

      Im in a room with this dude in a dim lit room, and he starts telling me stuff about the goverment is out to get him. I try and tell him to relax and not be so paranoid, but he says that it is true and wants to show me something. We head downstairs to this basement and there are a bunch of people in capsules, and people hooked up to machines and shit.
      I become lucid seeing all of this, and reach in my pocket staring at everthing and rubbing my hawk coin totem. I asked the guy what was his name and he told me he wishes to remain anonymous due to potential possiblities of him being watched or something like that. I then ask him..

      "So how did we find eachother?"

      "Na bro, you found me!"
      I start becoming even more lucid to the point i began talking with him about stuff like wars, and poverty, and religion. He starts telling me that its all a set up from the jump or something like that, and that he only wishes that more people would wake up. I asked him how can i find him again and he says..

      "Shit, you the dream navigator. I don't know how to navigate dreams like that man."
      "How did you know that about me?"
      "Cause they told me about you."
      "Who?"

      The door upstairs is kicked in and he starts talking to me in code, and giving me certain numbers if i ever need to look for him again or something like that. I try and repeat the numbers, but he insists that we will meet again. He tells me to keep teaching people thru their dreams so we can build our nation back to the way it use to be and to be safe. He sits in a chair, and straps himself in with a device hooked up to him, and dissapears.
      I hear men upstairs talking and footsteps coming towards the upstairs basement door.
      I start running thru the basement looking for a way out, but find no exit. I decide to fall backwards.



      False awakening


      I wake up in my 2nd home on the basement couch, and trying to remember the last dream i had. It hits me..I don't live here anymore, ans i better wake up before i forget the rest of the dream. I wake up for real, and record the dream.



      Final dream. Building a team.

      Im in my 2nd home in the basement talking to a bunch of different people about dreams. (Don't become semi lucid or lucid) I start handed out totems to everybody and giving each of them a homework assignment on reality checks with their totems. Thats all i remember and wake up.
    7. Remembering

      Messing around with girls, again (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I had another dream where I was messing around with a girl! This time, it was a lot more physical than the last dream.

      I suppose I was supposed to be in school, but the room I was in looked nothing like school, lol. I walked up to a girl in 11th grade named Brittany. I remember asking her for her number. She didn't really say anything, so I wrote my number down for her and told her to text me. Suddenly, I believe she grabbed me by my waist, and pulled me close to her so that our bodies touched. She stuck out her tongue and moved it towards my face. I stuck out my tongue and we licked each other's tongues, making "aaaaaah, aaah" sounds, lmfao.
      I don't know why I had this dream, lol. I woke up feeling guilty, again.

      30.05.2012
      YES! (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I was dreaming, and I remember suddenly seeing the time. I don't remember what it was, or what it changed to, but I remember it was changing without me even having to turn away and look back. I became lucid, and I did a hand RC, and my fingers kept jumbling around. The dream was very fuzzy and my hands were very out of focus. It scene turned black andI was in my room. I did a nose RC, but it failed. I was awake. Oh well, at least I got lucid again for the first time in a year.

      In shop. (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I had a brief fragment of me in electrical shop class. The only difference was the walls looked like blue tiled brick, instead of the white walls in there now. That's it, though.

      Last night I had a dream that I was in a mall and I went in target and got this awesome looking game, the case was gold and it looked like a 3 disc final fantasy game and I got the 2nd to last one and when I walked away a girl started telling everyone I got the last one so I go to the food court, and all of a sudden im talking to a group of people about getting drunk bragging, it felt like I was on a mission in this one and it lasted as long as an average dream.

    10. The Circus Comes To Town

      by , 05-30-2012 at 06:50 PM
      Because I hadn't been able to sleep the night before, I took 3 mg of melatonin before going to bed. Woke up at 6:15, ran to the bathroom, and then put on a sleep mask to block out the light while performing MILD. And wow, was I successful this time!

      I had to run down to the basement to grab something. When I turn on the lights, I notice that all the boxes and assorted junk that had been in the basement are gone. Maybe Dad moved them? It doesn't make sense, though, because there was a lot more stuff than he would be able to move without help. I head upstairs to see that Carrie has arrived. It feels weird to see her come over by herself like she did when she was single. Lately, every time I see her, she's got her husband and kids in tow. But things start adding up. I take another look at the basement and this time I notice that the floors are tile when they should have carpet. Puzzled, I go to the front window and look outside. It's dark, but I can see that multiple cars parked on the driveway. I can remember parking my car on the street last night because the driveway was seal-coated last night.

      This has to be a dream, then. I head outside and shout, "Hey, where is my Sorting Hat?" I probably would have tried summoning it, except I remembered that I hadn't gotten a wand yet. I notice a few carnival booths set up on the corner with the Circus Circus logo in bright lights. Finally, a hat appears on top of one of the cars in the driveway. It's a striped paper carnival hat, though, and definitely not a Sorting Hat. I put it on, but it doesn't do anything. I guess I'll just have to head to Hogwarts in the morning. (Looks like I forgot that I can control the dream.) I go around the corner and find an area surrounded by hay bales and bordered by a fence. It seems like as good a place as any to spend the night. Cameron walks right through the fence to join me. He gives me a look and suggests that this is like one of those times when we used to make out in the hay loft of his dad's barn. I'm so distracted by him that of course I forget my plan to go to Hogwarts.

      We must have fallen asleep, but when I wake up, I'm indoors looking at someone's custom closet installation. The hangers are all out of order, something that tends to irritate me. I quickly take the hangers and organize them so the closet looks much neater. The owner of the closet (not to mention the house) appears and thanks me. She's an older women dressed in a red pantsuit. The closet seems more like a long hallway instead of a separate room, and it has windows. I notice outside of one window that there's a system of water-lined ramps and conveyors. I ask about them, and the homeowner explains that before she bought the property to convert into a home, it had been a race track. Did they race greyhounds? "Oh, no! They used to race turtles," she explains. I'm horrified at the thought of the poor turtles. It doesn't still work, does it? The homeowner smiles and winks at me. She flips a switch and the conveyors start moving, but instead of turtles, thousands of rubber ducks start floating down the ramps. I'm absolutely thrilled by the sight, and the homeowner seems pleased to see me so amused. I start to wonder if she might be interested in me. (Poor Cameron! I seem to have forgotten all about him.)

      The woman starts laying out an elaborate plan to get revenge on the people who have crossed her. I don't get it, but I want to help. I head outside to see a group of men taking the roof off the house next door. It has something to do with her plan. I realize that I should do something to secure her house. Heading back inside, I notice that there are four cars parked in a garage built to hold just two. They all seem to fit without a problem, though there's a white sedan parked in a way that the back bumper would block the garage door from coming down. There was plenty of room for the sedan to pull forward another two feet. That's my plan, at least, but instead I hit the button to lower the garage door. As expected, it hits the bumper of the sedan and reverses direction. I hit the button again. This time, the door curves outward as it reaches the sedan to close around it. I'm pleased that I've been able to secure the garage, but I quickly realized that the garage door is made of glass. There's a group of kids that stop outside. One of them shouts, "Hey, that's Iron Man's car!" They start banging on the window. I fly into a rage and head out to confront them. I'm so angry that I don't pay attention to the fact that it's snowing in May. Someone, maybe the woman from earlier, pulls me back. She shuffles me a few steps away into a Cracker Barrel store. I see Ron and Hermione sitting and making goo goo eyes at each other. I roll my eyes at them, but it reminds me that I was interested in someone. I start thinking back over the last few moments, realize that I'm dreaming, but wake up.

    11. Dream Log 5-30-2012 Exploring and Testing

      by , 05-30-2012 at 06:13 PM (Structured Chaos)
      I went to bed around 12am. I was slightly sleep deprived from previous night. Last meal was at 7pm

      Last Dream before waking. Around 9:40 am.
      I was around a market area and zombies were roaming. I had to find a car to drive so we searched for proper cars to use. I think a dude from school was there and some more people. I noticed I was dreaming so I looked at my feet to increase lucidity. I remembered some of my dream goals so I accomplished two on the spot. I levitated and teleported a short distance within my view.

      I was then teleoported to a school area where I saw a lot of people who I at one point went to school with. I saw a room with some girls in it. I told everyone except one girl to leave. She did not want to stay but another girl who I could of hooked up with back in high school did. So I I grabbed her and we left the building. I asked her what she wanted to do. She said fly and so I grabbed her and we took flight. I could not fly that far so i eneded up decending to the ground. I took off again and this time we ended up in albercoucie new mexico. We went through a rich neighborhood/ school area. We explored a large building. After a bit, eventually I told her I had to leave her because I had to do some dream exploration on my own. I went into a back laundry room and tried to close the door. She wanted me to hug her before I left so I did and she was really sad. Then I closed the door again. This time I decided to accomplish another objective which was to hit up a previously decided building. I had somehthing in my hand and I used it to draw a portal on a door.I drew a portal and I wrote the name of the building which was my creation. I the walked through it newly created portal. There was a small transition period sort of like a click. I then ended up in the building which was modeled after my grand parents house. (Check notes at bottom for explanation of this.)
      I awoke shortly after exploring the building.

      ****Side Notes
      -From what I can see, my subby needed to create a building that had many rooms. My grandparents house was a house that had many rooms that I was familiar with. Hence my grandparents house was created.
      -I will in the future create or find and familiarize myself with the appearance structure and lay out of buildings which I want to modify or use for a purpose beforehand so that they can better suit my needs.
      -I should better assess and figure out my best time period for going lucid
      +This morning it was about 9hrs after I went to bed


      ****Goals accomplished
      -Go Lucid
      -Hover
      -Fly
      -Teleport short distance(within site)
      -Create a portal
      -Visit a place of my choosing

      last week during hiking i had 2 LD - but nothing interesting - in the end was sex. Tonight there was LD again. I bought wine and there wasn't enough money in my pocket. I thought - its dream and i can give the customer any paper, and only after that i really understood that it was a DREAM. (I think practise from rinpoche's book works) but i understood that this customer 'hold' me. I paid all my attantion on the flor and he let me go. I flew and made several somersault back in the air. It was really wanderfull. Then i want to make TOTY made portals, but they didn't work and i land. 3 people came to me, and become to fight and i tried to exit and awoke.

    13. A Recent Peak and a Dream Girl

      by , 05-30-2012 at 03:30 PM (* The Sandman's Dream Journal o/***)
      A Recent Peak

      I recently saw a women's lib chick. I did the Step and Lean to get a better view as she leaned over. I got several good looks.

      Last night I woke up to go to the bathroom and started thinking about her and ended up dreaming about her.


      I was with J, I saw her breast. Her nipple looked funny, but her breast was really, really soft. That was the story at least. I don't remember feeling it. One of us said something about it and the other explained why it was so soft. I wish I could remember who said what.

      A Dream Girl

      I was in a weird setting. I don't really remember what it was, but there were girls about. I ended up doing a reality check and my hand kind of looked normal, then I had a thumb and 4 stubs.

      I was off on my hunt. There was one really pretty girl with long, dark hair and I went to find her. I did find her and started kissing her, but my dream fell apart.

      I had an FA, but I didn't fall for it. Thinking I was awake, and very disappointed, I did an RC anyway and I was still dreaming, so I found J again.

      I told her I like small breasts like hers. She told me not to be shy, so I started feeling her up. This was more vivid than the other dreams I had.

      I felt the bottom of her breast, and then forced my hand up to feel the rest of it. I got my hand around the rest of her breast. I didn't ever feel her nipple, but it was really nice anyway.


      The End

    14. 29 May: Dream warriors ambushed

      by , 05-30-2012 at 03:21 PM (Lucid-schizo-dreamer)
      non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening

      (...) I meet some guy at an outdoor café. We talk about the lucid plane. I think I say something about reading Castaneda's teachings at the moment and ask him some question about my awakened hyper-lucidity experienced during the day. He is some big head of the dream warrior elite and is handing me out some important info and answering some of my questions. I only became semi-lucid at the middle of it, so I don't recall much.
      Suddenly we are approached by two menacing individuals with swords and this guy tells me to deal with it and please cover his retreat. I agree, because he is to important to be caught. He hands me a sword I hadn't seen before and I stay behind to fight the two attackers. The first one is easy. Just demands some brute force. The second one is harder and I have to pick up the weapon of the previous one and fight with two swords. It feels awkward, because I have a katana on one hand and an european sword on the other hand. Somehow I manage, but honestly I feel that he gives up very easily and I don't know why. He simply runs away when he still could keep fighting.
      I then had a rendez-vous with a group of dream warriors at some hideout I just learned about (from the other guy). It is some sort of cave. I enter through a round hole on a wall, like an air passage, which takes them by surprise. They point out that there are a bunch of other entrances, like normal sized doors. I tell them I thought they kept all the entrances locked, so I had to find a way to break in. They reply that the entrances are never locked, not even closed, as there are no doors at all. I find that strange. They say it is a much bigger security to simply never allow the secret of this place to be revealed. And if it is found out, why bother locking behind doors? If any enemy wants to confront them, they are always ready to battle, no point in running or hiding and avoiding the inevitable. I find that very brave and valiant. But then it proves to be shitty when we are suddenly surrounded by a bunch of the bad guys. I had been followed and the hideout had been discovered. My fellow dream warriors couldn't be more pissed off with me. I couldn't be more pissed off with me! I prepare to fight alongside them, but they tell me to go get WakingNomad to help out. I think it's a good idea, but I also feel that they use it to get rid of me for a while.
      Following their instructions, I go look for WakingNomad and I find him at some art studio looking beyond some canvas, seemingly spaced-out. "Hey Nomad, remember me?" Nothing. "Hey man, you're needed to help some dreamers in trouble." Still nothing besides a vague look, like "Really?" "Hey, you really don't remember me?" (While I think to myself "we had sex on our last dream encounter, bro")
      I walked around a little bit, but he wasn't really responding. I think I gave up.(...)

    15. Horrible Lucid

      Today, I had a horrible lucid dream. However, this is not an exceptional case. Lately, all my lucid dreams have been like this.

      ... random dreams ...

      I wake up to sleep paralysis. I get out from bed, try to walk around, but my vision is very weak. I can barely see anything. So I decide to let the paralysis pass.

      I find myself back in bed, having the paralysis. I wait it out until it quiets down. I get up. Vision is better now. I get out of my bedroom, to the corridor. My vision gets horrible. It's like my vision is tilted diagonally, and one side of my vision is black. I can barely walk.

      I try to improve my vision by focusing on things. No effect.
      I can see the floaters I have in waking life with vivid detail, but that's about it. I desperately try a stupid exercise: I'm alternating between touching a door knob and another thing near it (not clear what). After a bit of doing it, the door knob and the other thing started randomly getting invisible. This startled me, but I kept doing it, and they kept getting in and out of sight.

      Then I say "To hell with it!", and I decide to do something fun. I stumble down the stairs somehow, and get out. I can see our old door that we don't even have anymore. I hear beatiful bird chirping outside, it makes me feel better.

      I stumble into our grandma's building (she lives next door).
      In there she seems like she was expecting me, and that totally broke my lucidity, and I started talking with her about nonsensical stuff...

      And that's about the quality of every lucid dream I have been having in the past few months.
