    2. Too excited

      by , 05-22-2012 at 01:58 AM
      It has been a few years since I've been on the site and after having a few lucid dreams, I remembered I used to record all my dreams on here. Hopefully I will stick to it...

      The night before I had a very quick lucid dream. I suddenly appeared on a school bus with people from my work or some people that were familiar looking. I suddenly knew I was dreaming and said out loud, "I'm having a lucid dream!" Then I instantly tried to think of my friend I haven't seen in awhile but everyone on the bus started to give me these mean stares. It startled me, so I tried to control the environment but in my excitement, I woke myself up...bummer.

      Last night I struggled to fall asleep and had insomnia. Around 6am this morning I started to drift to sleep and felt like as I was drifting, my body, or something was vibrating. I almost felt like I was getting pulled away, or into something. It was very strange and it happened several times this morning. Flashes of pictures appeared but I never really fell asleep or had a dream.

    3. Deep Dreaming - Barfight - Earth from Space - Exploring Childhood Dreams - Yuya

      I can't really keep up with my DJ, which is sort of a good thing I guess?
      I've stopped journaling non-lucids entirely and I'm skipping unimportant details in my lucids.
      For example I skip details such as becoming lucid or doing mental stabilization etc.

      I'm pretty sure this is the longest dream I've ever had.
      It definitely felt "deep", which is how Yuya describes it, which is oddly enough a term WakingNomad uses as well.
      It feels very rewarding to have such a dream after spending dream time "training" to achieve this.



      Day 1: Barfight - Earth from Space

      ... It takes longer than usual to locate Yuya's aura.
      Where... what the hell?
      Is that a bar?
      I also vaguely feel a demonic presence near her.

      I decide not to teleport straight to her, but instead teleport to outside of the bar.
      I'm not really sure what's going on and I don't want to cause a scene.



      I end up in front of what appears to be a bar from an old western.
      It's on top of a cliff with nothing but desert surrounding it.
      The demonic presence is more clear now.
      There's multiple instances, but they all seem weak.
      I decide to mask my own aura after I notice that Yuya is masking hers.
      That's probably why I had trouble locating her.

      I enter the bar, acting as if I belong here.
      I spot Yuya sitting at the bar. She's wearing a brown coat?
      Probably trying to look inconspicuous or something. (Or a firefly reference you idiot)
      I on the other hand am wearing my typical attire.
      But it doesn't matter. If you mask your aura people barely notice you unless you talk to them direcly.
      And even then they usually don't notice any oddities and forget you quickly.
      This works only on weaker minds of course, who don't fully use their 6th sense.

      I sit down next to Yuya and order a beer.
      A passively scan the surrounding aura's.
      Yep, just as I thought, they're all kind of weak. And they are all of demonic nature?
      They are all oddly similar, even though the creatures are of different species.
      Most are humanoid though.
      They must belong together in some way.

      The beer is mediocre. It's lukewarm. Beh.

      "So... What's going on?"
      "Hm..."
      She grins.
      I hear someone drop a glass in the background and it shatters.
      Then it happens again in another corner of the room.
      Yuya's expression reveals that she's responsible for this.
      She's controlling the water molecules in the drinks to throw them off the table.
      It will take these people some time to figure out what's going on.
      The bartender will probably notice first, he has the strongest aura.
      I can already see it in his eyes that he has noticed that something is wrong.
      So... Yuya appears to be starting a barfight.
      Ha, this is kind of fun.
      Since I've started time dilation training we've deliberately gotten ourselves into a lot of trouble.
      Fully emerging myself into the dream allows me to stay for really long times.
      I've managed to stay many hours a few times in a row now.
      The only thing I haven't managed yet is to go to sleep without waking up.

      The bartender looks straight into Yuya's eyes.
      Even if he doesn't notice her aura, he'll be able to tell by her eyes that she's not a demon and that she doesn't belong here.

      "What? Who are you?"
      "*smile* Trouble!"

      The bartender then proceeds to lift up a double barreled shotgun from under the bar and aims it at Yuya's chest.
      I look at Yuya.

      "Have a safe trip."

      The shotgun blast propels her off her chair into the back off the room and she crashes into one of the tables.
      A fight breaks loose.
      This is starting to become very comical.
      Yuya won't need any help. I do kinda want to get involved in the fight though.
      But... priorities!
      I still have that shitty beer taste in my mouth.
      Fortunately I spot a bottle of whiskey.
      The bottle is kind of dirty.
      I grab it, clearly annoying the gentlemen whom it belongs to.
      I take a few big sips directly from the bottle.

      "HEY!"
      "Wat?"

      I unleash a rather colossal burp, and to my surprise I spit quite a bit of fire in the process. Oops.

      "Hey Yuya, I think I just figured out where that whole 'dragons spit fire' thing comes from."
      "Congratu fucking lations."

      She sounds rather occupied defending herself.
      They're attacking her with wooden chairs, how cute.
      Guy next to me I stole the whiskey bottle from has obviously figured out that I'm not supposed to be here.
      He decides to run away... and there I was hoping to throw him across the room.

      My fine bottle of whiskey is shattered by some dude crashing into me.

      "Yuya... did you just throw this guy at me?"
      "Oops?"

      I'll better return him.
      I pick the guy up and throw him back at Yuya.
      It's funny how that works. It feels like throwing a tennis ball.
      I have only fought properly strong opponents lately, I completely forgot how ridiculous my power is compared to normal beings.
      Well, not normal. They are actually halfway decent demons.
      But with mine or Yuya's power it really doesn't make a difference.

      I enter the fight and start throwing more people around.
      This is kinda fun. I like smashing the furniture into pieces.
      Some of them shoot at me with revolvers. This is adorable.
      Do they really think they stand a chance?
      Well, they actually might.
      My aura is probably so intense and overwhelming for them that they can't feel it at all.

      Mid-fight I organize myself a new bottle of whiskey, because I still have some of that atrocious taste in my mouth.
      This one is actually pretty good.
      Most people start running away after they realize that we're completely out of their league.
      Yuya sits down next to me on the only table that is still intact and I share the bottle with her.

      "So. I take it 'start a barfight' is off the list then?"
      "Haha. I think this makes me a bad person."
      "Heh. I wonder what the gods would have thought of this back in the days."
      "Oh boy, I would have been in so much trouble."

      Huh? "The gods?"
      Yuya used to be the goddess of water... uuuuuh.
      There were more gods obviously, but I can't remember.
      I wonder if they're still around.

      A slightly stronger aura emerges from the distance.
      Shortly after what appears to be the town sheriff enters the room pointing a rifle at us.

      "Yeah, good luck with that."
      "Haha."

      That poor guy. He actually catches a glimpse of our true strength.
      He must be terrified. I feel kinda bad now.

      "Dude, don't worry, we'll leave."
      "Okay..."
      "Yeah... we really should go..."

      We get up and Yuya tosses a coin at the sheriff.
      I draw my phoenix wings to teleport us out but I'm not really sure where to go.
      Oh! I have an idea!
      I grab Yuya's hand.

      "I'll show you something interesting."
      "Oh?"

      I want to show her Earth from the ISS.
      It actually takes me a few seconds to find it within all the crap that is in orbit around our planet.
      And something is off, I can't locate any auras within it.
      The port feels different. It feels like the first port I make when I become lucid, not like the kind of port I make to change locations later.
      Am I bringing us back into my private dreams?

      The first thing I notice when we emerge is that it is rather unpleasant being in space.
      My body instinctively reinforces a layer of energy around itself to protect me from the cold, vacuum and radiation.
      We float a few meters and sit on the ISS.



      This is exactly what I wanted to show Yuya.
      Earth is such a beautiful planet. And only a handful of astronauts get to see it at a time.

      "Wow!"

      It's difficult to surprise Yuya like this.
      She's seen so many wonderful things in her life.
      But it seems I have found one that is worthy to be added to that list.

      "She's such a beauty."
      "Yeah... I wonder if I'll ever get to see her like this in my life."
      "But... surely you will? You have had the technology to go to space for many years?"
      "Exactly!"
      "Oh... I don't really understand why this isn't moving forward."
      "*sigh* There's not enough funding because the people in power don't care about it?"
      "How can you not care about it? It's fucking space!"
      "Yeah it's really sad. They argue that we should first solve our problems down on earth instead of bringing them with us to space."
      "That is the most idiotic argument I have ever heard."
      "Yep. And many people hear that and agree with it because they don't know any better."
      "They don't see how much good has come from space exploration."
      "It's the only thing that has managed to unite us as a species, which is kind of sad actually."

      Well shit, I wanted to show Yuya something really cool and beautiful, and now I find myself rambling about the state of our space program.

      "But there's hope! Private companies are getting involved who want to get commercial programs started."
      "Ah!"
      "So... I'm still confused about this."
      "Huh?"
      "Are we in your world or in my dream space right now?"
      "... How can you not know this?"
      "I don't know..."
      "We're in your dream space or bubble or whatever you want to call it of course."
      "Right. Because the ISS doesn't exist in your world."
      "Right."
      "But Earth does?"
      "Yes, but it's another Earth. It's another dimension entirely."
      "And the Moon"
      "Yeah."
      "The green Moon"
      "Ha. Wasn't that one of you dreamers who did that?"
      "WakingNomad"
      "Heh. He sounds like an interesting fellow."

      I spot someone in the Cupola module gazing at Earth as well.


      If this were the real world and she saw 2 guys sitting in outer space she'd probably have a heart attack.
      I start to feel tired. Took me a long time to get lucid, then we had a barfight and now I'm resisting the dangers of outer space.

      "Yeah, we should go to bed, I haven't slept in 22 hours."
      "Does Teraluna have a 24 hour cycle as well?"
      "No, it's about 28 hours."

      I summon my phoenix wings and target Teraluna.

      "Can you really not feel it?"
      "Hmm?"
      "The difference between the universes, or planes or whatever. Like, when you target Teraluna, can you not feel how it isn't a location created by your own mind?"
      "Uh. I guess... I always assumed that anything I target with the wings must be in your world."
      "Huh, that's really weird. You dreamers really seem to have a hard time perceiving these kind of things."

      We teleport to Teraluna.
      It's nighttime. We both walk under one of the many small waterfalls within Yuya's place before getting to bed.
      This is how you shower on Teraluna. There is something cleansing about these things.
      It's much more practical than using soap, and you can also dry yourself up with some quick magic tricks.
      I simply boil the remaining water on my skin away.
      We need this stuff in waking life. And also magic.
      Everything is better with magic.

      We get into bed.
      I love this ridiculously large bed.
      It got these satin-like bed sheets that are kind of cold and feel super refreshing.
      They also smell really nice.
      And the mattress is sooo soft.
      I quickly feel rather dizzy and my vision becomes all fuzzy.
      I don't have time to think about the issues I've been having with sleeping dreams, which might be a good thing though.
      I fall asleep. I clearly feel my dream body turning off.
      My eyes close automatically, but my vision remains very active.
      I see colorful plasma clouds and a lot of pink noise.

      I feel cold wind on my skin as images are coming into existence.
      They're memory flashes mixed with some really odd things I do not know.
      The word "Ravenclaw" pops into my head.
      Then I see tribal dragons and ravens flying around...



      Day 2: Exploring Childhood Dreams

      ... Mmmh. I want to sleep some more.
      I nest myself deeper into the bedsheets without any intention of getting up.

      "Uuuh, we should really get up."
      "I don't wanna."
      "Dude."

      She starts poking me relentlessly until I get our of bed.
      Everything is a bit of a blur.

      We have breakfast when it finally strikes me.
      I finally managed to sleep in a dream!
      Holy shit!
      And it feels quite odd.
      The "omgthisisamazing imsuperexcited" train of thought is certainly there but I don't feel it?
      That tension in your body you feel when you get extremely excited which can cause you to wake up?
      It's not there. It doesn't make it feel any less of an achievement, but I perceive it as rather odd that the sensation is missing.
      This is a good thing though I suppose.

      Yuya's expression changes to a rather intriguing smile.

      "Hyu... do you think you are ready for me to show you something about your past?"

      She's excited.

      "Yes. Of course! What do you want to show me?"

      Part of me hopes that it might be about how we've met, but I know that's not going to happen anytime soon.

      "I need you to close your eyes."

      Sure. I just slept without waking up like a boss, shouldn't be a problem to close my eyes.
      ... sleeping without waking up. One of those things that only makes sense in a dream.
      I hear Yuya approaching and she sits down on my lap.
      She seems to look into my closed eyes.
      I can feel her thoughts entering my head.
      They feel so different from my own.

      I can see a scene materializing. Just like when you WILD. I get incoherent flashes first, and then everything stabilizes.

      "Open your eyes."

      I open them and see both her and the scene from my imagination.
      She's drawn into my eyes and after a moment of heavy confusion we find ourselves in this new place.
      I look around. It appears that we're on some sort of rather huge space station.



      We're standing on the outer hull. There's gravity and an atmosphere, and temperatures appear to be normal.
      There must be some kind of forcefield surrounding the station that prevents the atmosphere from escaping.

      And then I suddenly get chills.
      Holy shit!
      I know this place!

      "This is..."
      "Oh my god... this is..."
      "Fuck, I can't remember the name... it's... there's the motorcycle races and colony and mining and..."

      Ugh, too much information at once.

      "Take it easy. You have all the time you need."
      "This is from my dreams. These were like my first consistent lucid dreams."
      "Except I didn't know what lucid dreams were..."
      "Wow, I must have been like... not even in my teens yet."

      My memories are vague, but I start to recall the global setting.
      This is a slave colony built around a big asteroid.
      The slaves are forced to harvest it, which is a rather difficult task.
      There were these bunk rooms were you live with 20ish other people.
      Then every day you get up, go mine.
      If you find valuable minerals you can trade them for food.
      I was one of these slaves.
      During some event I escaped the system and was able to enter the automated regions of the station,
      where there are no cameras.
      I Mcgyvered myself a small sleeping compartment in between some plasma conduits.
      Nobody dares to get close to them, so I was safe there.
      I got my water from the automated water recycling system and traded it and some things I've built for food with people in similar situations than myself.

      And then there were the motorcycle races.
      Holy shit those were amazing... and scary... and... batshit insane!
      There were different racing classes, much like in a video game.
      Starts out at D, then goes up to C, B, A and finally S.

      D is comparable to superbikes in waking life.
      Then with C class you get electric downforce systems.
      They produce downforce without creating drag. Something with artificial gravity or magnets, I can't remember.
      But you get the idea. You have ludicrous grip with these modules, so you're able to put down
      a lot more power, break much harder and later, and corner at multiple g's.

      The races were held on the outer hull of the station. The outside got pressurizes for maintenance on a regular basis,
      just like it is now, so you can walk around and race motorcycle outside.
      The higher classes had actual race tracks that surrounded the whole station, and they were insanely dangerous.
      The station owners obviously knew about this and about all of the slaves that had escaped to the automated regions, but they didn't care.
      They probably made a ton of money with the races, so why would they?

      Races were properly dangerous as I already mentioned.
      Not only do the motorcycles go way too fast, but all of them are tinkered together.
      When you win races you get money, which is useless except for buying new parts.
      They make you faster, you get into higher classes, win more money etc.
      You're pushing most of the components way past their limit once you get into the higher classes.
      It's perfectly normal for one or two bikes to blow up during a race and people dying because their brakes failed or they cornered a split second too late.

      You can get to A class on the parts you can buy, but winning A races or getting into S requires you to build your own custom stuff.
      I had a few useful contacts that could forge things for me if I gave them blueprints, but obviously you can't test anything.
      You have an idea, you build it, install it and hope you'll somehow survive the next race.

      "This was pretty sick. And by that I don't mean awesome... well, maybe a little."
      "But... this was a bit messed up though. How did I come up with that?"

      "Eh, video games might have played a role."
      "Maybe..."

      We walk around and I remember most locations.
      The world is frozen though. It's like walking through a memory snapshot.
      I can move things, but nothing will act on its own and all characters are frozen in time.
      Most of them have blurry faces, which I assume is because I don't remember how they looked.

      I find a small hangar which I shared with another racer. Both of our bikes should be in there.
      I open the hangar using a hidden button on the outside.
      And sure enough, both bikes are there.
      The other racer is also there, and I can actually see his face.
      He played a major role in those dreams. He was also the one who got me my first bike.


      (Imagine this, except longer, twice as fat, and an engine that barely fits)

      I sit on my old bike and turn on the systems.
      Ecu, ignition, fuel 1, fuel 2...
      Xgc? No idea what that was but better turn it on.
      Throttle to 2% and a strong kick to the starter.

      I nearly shit my pants as the engine comes to life.
      I remembered it as pretty brutal, but mother of god...
      I immediately let go of the throttle.
      The revs drop to about ~4,5k where the engine begins to idle very roughly.
      It idles at 4500rpm? holy shit!
      Further inspection reveals that the rev indicator goes all the way up to 20k.
      Redline starts at 14.000 but I remember reving it to over 17.000 on a regular basis.
      The cooling systems can take it just barely.

      I rev the engine gently and it immediately shoots up high into the rev range.
      These things don't really have flywheels. The clutch is pretty much an on/off switch.
      You use it once to get going and from there on you shift sequentially.
      Investigating the engine, the exhaust manifolds indicate a V10 engine.
      But then I spot another set coming from below. An X20?
      The exhaust manifolds feed into two massive turbochargers that finally lead to 4 straight exhausts.
      Even though the engine is idling, the pipes are glowing all the way back.
      The bike is huge, but the engine barely fits.

      I wonder how much power this has.
      I remember getting it up past 700km/h on a straight runway, and just over 900 on a few suicidal runways that had
      track parts that pointed straight down for a few kilometers.
      At these speeds, even if you hide your face behind the tiny windshield, you simply cannot breathe.
      You just hold it in until the next corner, and hope you don't black out during breaking.
      I turn the engine off... now is not the time to race it. I'll definitely come back though.

      I investigate the rest of the station with Yuya and try to remember things.
      We talk about the only guy I can remember mostly.
      I explain to Yuya what he did, how he got me my first bike and taught me how to upgrade it etc.
      During that I realize that he was a dream guide.
      I ask Yuya if he's Faye without thinking, which she laughs at.
      Obviously he wasn't.

      "So, what was the reason for racing? I mean sure, it's exciting, but also quite suicidal."
      "Yeah... there was a rumor that when you win the S cup you can buy your freedom."
      "They'll give you your identity back and get you to the next tradehub with some money."
      "Ah. That makes sense."
      "Yeah... it was a scam though. Only people with superhuman capabilities could get into S class and actually win."
      "Obviously such a person would win nearly all races once he becomes skilled enough."
      "That is a problem for the station owners because if the same person wins every time it becomes boring and they make less money."
      "So once every S cup, they sell 'freedom' to the best guy. It's a good excuse for making someone disappear really."
      "It gives all the racers a reason to race and keeps the crowd entertained. In the end they just kill you though."

      But she already knew that, she asked to help me remember.
      Fuck, this whole setting was dark.
      Young me had some messed up dreams.

      After spending half a day exploring old dreams we get back to Teraluna, where we proceed to drink and smoke what resembles weed.
      It tastes different though, but it does a rather good job at getting you high.

      We go to bed where I snuggle with Yuya.
      Before falling asleep I make a rather overwhelming discovery.
      Except it's... well it's not.

      I'm holding Yuya in my arms as we fall asleep and I can feel her chest expanding as she breathes.
      I can even feel her heartbeat.
      Now, this is obviously perfectly normal, but for some reason I cannot help thinking:
      "She is real!" as if this was some kind of proof of her existence.
      This makes me think of waking life for the first time in many hours.
      I question the reasoning I make in waking life but know that there's nothing I can do about it.
      I think differently here.

      I fall asleep and get pretty interesting visuals.
      It's mostly very vividly colored plasma clouds and some geometric shapes.
      It looks really interesting and makes me feel blissful.



      Day 3: Yuya

      I can't remember waking up, but I'm still on Teraluna.
      It's afternoon and I'm coloring Yuya's back with some kind of dragon like tribal patterns.



      There's a dance this evening which is why I'm doing this.
      I have to be careful not to color over the tiny things living in her back, and on all the other citizens of Teraluna.
      They grow up there using the body heat and Teralunas atmosphere.
      If you leave they hide in a deeper layer of your skin.
      When they have matured they fly away and new ones settle in in their place.
      They're pretty cool because they glow in the dark.

      I'm not really drawing these things myself. I just let dragonic energy slowly flow into some sort of pen and everything else just happens.
      My hand moves on its own. I couldn't draw like that.
      Then it suddenly strikes me.
      Yuya is naked.
      Well... yeah. Obviously duh. How else could I paint her entire back?

      I gently kiss her on her neck.
      ...
      What am I doing?
      I wouldn't have dared to do that not too long ago.
      I used to feel so shy around her, but that's gone completely.
      She enjoys it, so I kiss her again, which starts a series of events leading to her bedroom.
      It's very different from a recent dream with the hibiscus girl.
      It probably helps that I didn't turn into a fucking animal, which still weirds me out thinking back.
      I'm more like myself. The whole experience is very blissful, but even more powerful in emotions.
      It's very difficult to explain. Everything is just right. I'm at peace...

      We're at the party were we dance to music that bears a strong resemblance to vocal trance.
      Liv is there as well, and it takes us half an eternity to motivate her to join us on the dance floor.
      My vision becomes messed up because the scene is very dark, but lights are flashing everywhere.


      I also start seeing the music at some point. Deep tones warp the entire field of vision whereas
      high tones influence the colors I'm seeing.
      At some point I loose it and wake up.


      I'm properly confused for one or two seconds, thinking I woke up in a wrong bed and that I must have a false awakening.
      Logic kicks in quickly though and everything is perfectly clear.
      I close my eyes again and go through the dream backwards, trying to remember every detail.
      Then I get up and immediately write the whole thing down rather than taking dream notes.

      I was awake in bed, going over a dream from earlier in the night when I must have dozed off.

      I'm in an airport, I think. It's a large indoor space with an escalator leading to another level. There was a moment of confusion because I remembered being in bed and I can still hear someone moving around in the room next to mine. I realized that I must have fallen asleep while still aware, something I usually have trouble with. My first thought was that I'm going to oversleep and I should get up now, but then I thought, "Why not enjoy this for a little bit? I want ice cream since I wasn't able to have some yesterday!"

      I rub my hands together, then step onto the escalator and grip the handrail since stabilizing a lucid dream always gives me trouble. On the upper level, I can see the outline of storefronts to my left. One of them has to be an ice cream store, I think. I head in that direction, only to find a concrete barrier blocking access to the storefronts. Ahead of me is a door. I step through it, thinking that it will get me to the drop-off area for the airport. I see a street, but the sun is blinding me. The street fades and I find myself on my patio. There's a table in front of me and a loaf of rye bread. I take the package and reach in, pulling out a slice of bread. This doesn't seem to appetizing on the surface, but I know that it could taste differently in a dream. I bite into the bread and find it tastes like rich chocolate ice cream! Having achieved my goal, I wake up.

      My friends and I were eating lunch at my old high school. We ate cookies, chicken fried steak, and drank orange juice and Koolaid.

      I also had a sort of FA where I was lying in my bed at another house I used to live in and I did a RC. I just kinda faded to black and wasn't able to do anything, though :<
    6. How I Learned to Possess Dream Characters

      by , 05-21-2012 at 04:45 PM (The Lab Notebook)
      Awake, Lucid dream, [Commentary made while awake]

      After I've woken up in the night and am going back to sleep, I feel that sensation of floating, of being untethered from gravity and from anything else physical. I know that I can enter a dream from here if I let myself float away. I do so, and immediately find myself in a dream. [I have to admit, though, I'm not 100% certain that my consciousness remained continuous from the time I woke up to the time I entered the dream, so I'm only willing to use my WBTB and DILD tags for this entry, not my WILD one.]

      I'm in a bright, sunny, pedestrian-oriented shopping area, with a wide, winding sidewalk that leads between a series of large, curving, mostly-white buildings, each of which contains many different shops and restaurants. One of them has a large Cold Stone Creamery sign on the outside. It's very pretty, and looks very real. I'm very pleased to be in a lucid dream again.

      At some point while exploring this new dreamscape, I see several friends of mine from earlier periods of my life
      [high school and/or college - I don't remember this part all that clearly]. Then, I wander through a small exterior door in one of the buildings, which leads into a classroom. In this classroom, the desks are set up in several sets of rows that are set at right angles to each other. The aisle between the rows of desks begins near the door and goes right through where the corners of those right angles would be. All the desks are filled with young adults, like me, but I don't know any of them. I walk down the aisle toward the front of the classroom. There is a male teacher there, leading the class in a discussion about something, but he doesn't complain or try to shut me up when I interrupt him and say to the class:

      “Anyone want to help me out with this possession thing?”


      [Or some similar words to that effect.] By this point, I've remembered one of the current Tasks of the Month and decided that with all these DCs around, it should be easy to give it a try. [I'm not surprised that I asked if one of my DCs would willingly act as the possessee. Possessing someone by force or surprise doesn't appeal to me at all; I already knew that about myself.]

      A woman in the front row, on my left (the teacher's right), raises her hand and stands up. She's maybe an inch taller than I am, but stockier, and has dark red hair and green eyes. Both of us are wearing jeans. She follows me to the back of the classroom.

      “I want my gold star, dammit!” I say, just before I go to work on possessing her.
      [I was talking about the gold wings I was going to earn here on DreamViews (or rather, the silver wings - in the excitement of the moment, I completely forgot that we had switched the basic and advanced tasks early in the month), but my exclamation came out as the commonplace expression meaning a reward or recognition for an achievement. My subconscious betrays my true colors: I really want recognition for my lucid dreaming achievements. Wow, I'm shallow. :blush: ]

      My method of possessing people is as follows: I stand directly behind the red-haired woman, and we clasp hands with our fingers interlaced. Then, I press the trunk of my body into her back, with our shoulders aligned, and push myself forward until our bodies merge. It's a somewhat slow process at first, since the substance of her body offers some resistance to mine, but it works. [I already know how to become intangible to walk through things in dreams; why didn't I think to make use of that ability and adapt it to this purpose? I don't know.] In a few moments, I'm standing in her body and controlling it from the inside. It has an awkward, heavy feeling to it, but it's really cool. When I've made it all the way forward, I notice that I've done an incomplete job; I can still feel our hands clasped together, and my feet are sticking out above hers, because she was taller than me to begin with. “We're supposed to merge them together,” I say. I straighten out my fingers and merge them with hers, and push down with my feet so they're merged properly. Then, I walk forward, one step at a time. It feels heavy and awkward, like I'm wearing several layers of really heavy clothes. I walk out through the door of the classroom into the sunlit walkway. Then, I collapse onto the ground and try to extricate myself from my DC. I only succeed in discarding the pair of jeans the DC was wearing, leaving them lying on the ground.

      I get up, go back into the classroom, and try again to release my DC from possession. This time, it works. The DC steps forward and away from me, and calmly walks back to her seat. The other DCs in the class seem to approve of the successful possession.
      [If my DC now wasn't wearing pants, none of the characters in the dream seemed to take any notice, including the red-haired DC herself. I think she just had a long, dress-like blouse on.]

      I want to practice this newfound skill again, so I look around the classroom. In an aisle seat on my right (the teacher's left), a man with black hair in a ponytail is sitting. That'll be different, I think. [Being in a man's body will be different, I mean.] I look at him, and he gets up and allows me to take possession of him in the same way. This time, it's a little bit easier and goes a little faster. Unfortunately, I woke up shortly after this point.
    7. Flight (from yesterday 5-20)

      by , 05-21-2012 at 04:11 PM
      I was in a car when I became lucid. It was some type of bad situation I wanted to get away from. I don't think I really liked the DCs in the car with me either, I was a passenger in the backseat. Once I became lucid, I remembered that I could fly. Since I was sitting in a car, I couldn't do my normal method to get airborne. Instead I decided I could fly through the roof of the car, as if I were bursting out of a tin can. I launched myself with my whole will and the maximum physical force I could. Not only did I explode out of the car roof, leaving a hole with peeled back metal, but I ended up flying so fast straight up that I went into space in just a second or two. I could tell I was somewhere between the earth and the moon when I stopped and looked down at the earth. The earth from my height looked about the size of a volleyball held at arms length. I could see North America and the eastern seaboard of the USA, that is where I flew back to. I was trying to make it back home, but I landed elsewhere in the US. I figured I was close enough for now, and could fly again once I got my bearings. But I didn't have to, either I woke up or transitioned to the next dream where I lost lucidity.

    8. the night star

      by , 05-21-2012 at 02:36 PM
      as with most of my other lucid dreams i begin in the front of my house towards the door. i do a reality check and my two fingers pass slightly through the palm of my other hand letting me know then and there that i am dreaming and in the usual routine i speak it "I AM DREAMING!" i open the solid door to reveal the screen door. as i look outside i notice that it is nighttime, i would go outside if it where daytime so i decide to make it daytime. i put up my hands, close my eyes, and focus on making the sun rise while imagining it. i open my eyes to see a luminescent blue star at about 2:00 in the sky. as i break my focus it shoots back down leaving no moon nor star in the pitch black sky. i go back inside and notice my "parents" in the kitchen so i attempt convincing them that it is a dream. i walk into the room and ask, "do you know this is a dream?" they don't believe me and respond with a,
      "Naaaa" as the dream fades out in my memory the only other thing i recall is something about me not being from this planet.

    9. Block of Flats, Surrounded

      by , 05-21-2012 at 10:47 AM (Zoe's weird things)
      [This dream happened at around 5:40AM... seems like i'm getting more of these early LDs now ]
      [Sadly, i forgot some smaller fragments from the semi-lucid part of the dream...]


      I was walking around some blocks of flats in my city, when i got semi-lucid. [I say semi-lucid, because my decisions weren't always clear, but i was still i aware of the fact that i'm dreaming].
      I just knew that according to the dream's story i was living in one of the flats with my mom and grandma. I was walking outside for a while, just admiring everything, when i noticed like 4 dragons flying in all directions...
      I decided to chase them just for fun, when i got turned into a dragon as well unintentionally.
      We were flying through the flats, through walls, it was kinda fun, even while i wasn't fully lucid...
      While doing this, i was thinking that i must've got lucid thanks to Dreamprofessor... not sure how exactly, hah

      After a while it started getting darker as the sun went down, so i flew back into the flat where we lived according to the dream.
      My grandma stepped in front of me once i got inside and started arguing with me:

      - You know that i work hard, do you?
      - You don't even do anything...
      - Don't say that! I do alot more than you think!
      - Of course.. you sleep all day and watch TV /laugh/
      - NO! NO! I WENT TO THE SHOP TODAY AND BOUGHT FOOD FOR US!
      - Ah, like i believe that.

      [She is 92 years old in real and only sleeps and watches TV, but she is really stubborn].
      I decided to leave it on her, i didn't care. Somewhat i forgot that it's getting dark outside and i flew back out and up to the top of the building. [I know i did something here that would be good to mention, but i totally forgot it].
      I got back inside again, since it was fully night already. As i was standing at a counter in the room, i got fully lucid. I looked around and tried to remember what i did before this moment, just to make sure i don't forget.

      Suddenly, i heard my mom as she told us that she goes somewhere and will be back soon... i didn't care much since she was just a DC. I heard it as she closes the door.
      I decided to get out of there, since i'm lucid and all that, i don't need to stay in there... I flew through the wall, while imagining daylight outside.
      When i got outside it wasn't daylight, sadly. I put my hands in front of my eyes, imagined daylight and taken my hands away, but it didn't really want to work... i tried it twice.
      I kept trying not to fixate on the darkness, when i suddenly found myself in our garden. It was somewhat better there, since there were parts in the garden that were lighter for some reason. I also kept looking at the stars, since they were so shiny. [I would've really liked to admire them, but i tend to avoid darkness in my LDs... :/]

      I decided to fly up to the roof of our house, which was a little lighter than everything else. As i was just about to fly there, suddenly it became daylight. It was sunny and warm... i was happy because of this and now my first thought was that i could try to find Lucy since in my latest LDs i didn't try it.
      I decided to fly to the roof of our neighbour instead, since it's bigger and i can see more freely from there.

      I was standing at the very top of the building, when i noticed that the street had deformed somewhat. There was a road in all 4 directions from this neighbour house and our house has disappeared.
      I decided to think of Lucy, to summon her somewhere nearby. I was turning around constantly, looking for her, while being extra cautious.
      I noticed more and more random DCs walking around on the roads and i got a short sudden thought that they'll attack me... Of course this was enough to change things...
      Some of the DCs started walking up the roof while being all chill and calm, just like it would've been still part of the road. I got mad that they'll ruin my attempt to find Lucy...

      When the first one got up to me, that guy tried to grab me and maybe push me off the building or something. I was trying to push him away, but then 3 other people grabbed on me from behind... I started charging up some magical power inside me and wanted to force push all of them away from me, but the dream started fading as i forgot to move my eyes... Just before it totally faded, i've seen a "popup" of a character selection screen, with this text: "Next Lucid Dream character selection". The deafult one was a skinny guy who was called "Rori" and it said that he was in the movie Sparta... didn't make much sense to me.

      [6:30AM Edit: I plan to get back to bed now, i'm pumped and just know it that i'll have another LD^^]
      [11:37AM Edit: I didn't get another LD, even while i was so pumped about it Ah well...]

    10. Lucidity, once again 5/12/12

      by , 05-21-2012 at 02:11 AM (The Infinite Domain)
      Awake-Non-Lucid-Lucid

      It started out with a familiar dream setting of mine: a classic zombie apocalypse, I was one of the only survivors, and was with a couple other DC's in a Chevy truck. Dusk was approaching, and the dream setting shifted to a parking lot. I started walking towards a car, but heard a noise behind me. I glanced backwards for a moment, then continued, only to find that the vehicle had disappeared

      I glanced at my malformed hands, only to make the assumption that I was dreaming. Since I was displeased at the dream setting, I gently closed my eyes, pictured a different dream setting, and reopened them. To my surprise, I was in a beautiful Mountainous landscape, with snow peaked mountains in the distance. If you have ever seen the LOTR trilogy, you could make the comparison between this dream and the landscape of Rohan. I focused myself and took flight.

      Several minutes after soaring through the clouds, I spotted a shadowy figure hovering over the mountains. We engaged in aerial combat, with fireballs and such flinging from our palms. I was hit hard by an explosion, but felt no pain as my charred body fell towards the ground. As I was descending, the dream began to fade, and the impact of my body hitting the mountainside ended the dream


      Not sure what or who the "shadow form" was. Possibly my dark side? I don't know...

      by , 05-20-2012 at 10:18 PM
      Key:

      {Curly brace & blue} .... Relevent waking life details before entry, if appropriate


      Black .... Dream body/narative text


      (Standard braces & dark green, bold) .... Dream notes, lucidity, time. method etc

      ************************************************** ***********************************

      {The date entry of this is wrong, I thought I'd share some of my experiences from before joining the forum!
      This one was from around mid March 2012, I wrote it to my PC then, but I thought I'd share it now...}


      (Induction type: DILD, Spontainous lucidity)



      I'm stood out the open, in the daytime.
      I've got a little open camp fire and some sort of animal hide wig-wam type shelter.
      My camp is on top of a moorland embankment, the view to the front is to a valley below, while the view to behind is pine woodland.

      It occurs to me that all this is 'wrong'.... I must be dreaming... A look at my BIG hands and fingers confirms this... Bam!!! (LUCID)

      So, I'm out in the open... with clear daytime sky above me and in front over the valley below... Smell of pine from the trees behind etc...
      ... I'd allways wanted to try changing day to night or vice versa in a dream...
      I tried a few things first that didn't work... Like...
      • Verbal commands
      • Trying to reach up and pull the sun out of the sky
      • Covering my eyes, willing the sky to change and uncovering them again


      Time to think latterally... I'm trying to turn day into night... I'll be winding time on a few hours doing that... Dreams are full of symbology... Hows about adjusting my watch, to 'wind on' time to turn day to night..
      ... For good measure the verbal command 'day to night' as well.

      I put a finger through the glass faceplate of my watch, as if it wasnt there!!
      I manually start winding the hands forward... Giving the verbal command as well...

      The sun quickly sets to the horizon, at the valley, the sky grows dark, and the moon and stars rise
      .. The night sky was never like I've seen it before, so 'intense' and beautiful.... I could even see the faint lines highlighting the constelations shapes...

      I stare a the night sky, with the brilliant pin-point stars and constelations, wondering the marvels of the universe... I'm pointing out at the sky with an outstreched arm & finger to the constelations I recognise, saying there names. Where my fingers been, left a new star!! I try getting rid of a star, by 'rubbing it out' with my finger... that works!!!

      Time to get creative on the night sky!! The Stick-man and smiley-face constelations had to be done!!!

      I was happy drawing for a while, and then my dream world just got 'washed out' and faded to black...
      ... But I don't think I woke up in waking life...

    12. Childlike Empress and WILD ants

      by , 05-20-2012 at 09:49 PM
      I wrote these up late last night before going to bed. They are dreams I had yesterday but didn't put down in words until very late.

      The first is just a remembered fragment. The second is a WILD that occurred during my nap. My daughter woke me up from that. *cry*

      [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]
      [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]Dream 1 - I keep referring to my daughter as the childlike empress,though I am trying to convey the message of young daughter. Still, I don’t seemto be able to let go of this phrase. It might have something to do with mysurroundings which appear slightly like a castle wall, with large stone bricksall around.[/FONT][/SIZE]
      [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]I spend some time pondering why I can’t let go of the word“childlike” and I even try to explain it to someone in the dream but I neverseem to get the words out properly.[/FONT][/SIZE]
      [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][/FONT][/SIZE]
      [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]Dream 2 (WILD) - [FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT][/SIZE]
      [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]
      [SIZE=3]I find myself slipping into sleep during my nap and I’maware of my sleep state, a successful WILD without trying for one. I’m beingsurrounded by ants, which I hate more than anything, yet they seem to multiplyin number by the second. Realizing it’s a dream and that I have control I usemy magical powers to simply wave them away. This image is likely induced bywatching too much Harry Potter recently, and I’m conscious that the effect issimilar. [/SIZE]
      [SIZE=3]I’m rather pleased with myself, being able to dispense magicwith just my hands, not needing a wand like most people with magic. My handsdon’t glow but I can feel power in them, and I want to try something else.[/SIZE]
      [SIZE=3]And then I wake up.[/SIZE]

      by , 05-20-2012 at 08:47 PM (My Dream Records)
      Black means non lucid
      Orange means semi lucid
      Blue means lucid
      Red means dream characters talking
      Purple means possible shared dream person
      Green means notes


      Got it? Great! Now enjoy reading my dreams.


      Dream #1 Underground hangout.

      Im underground at some hangout spot with a bunch of other people.


      There is a guy who is trying to pick on other people there. I walk over to the guy and ask him..

      "Whats with you and bullying people? You wanna bully somebody bully me."
      The guy looks around and then looks back at me like im crazy or something. He tries to swing at me, I become lucid and starting evading his punches towards me laughing at the same time. I finally grab his arm and snap it, picking him up and tossing him across the room. Everybody is laughing at the guy, and im just standing shaking my head at the dude.



      Dream #2 O, Auron, And Me. Take on the mother of all Vampires.

      Im with Auron and O, and we are in some warehouse or factory. O is telling me and Auron about taking out the Mother of all Vampires, and are we down to take her out.

      (Oneironaut talking)

      "Look yall, this chic is not to be taken lightly. If you down, then lets get this shit taken care of!"

      (Auron talking)

      "Hell yea im down!"

      "Oh i never back down from a challenge."

      We start getting ready and head out this door to enter this huge room.

      The vampire chic is bathing in this round shape tub i guess that what it was. And she turns around and starts hissing at us.


      (Oneironaut talking)

      "Out the tub, You got company."

      She hisses at O, and jumps out of the round shape tub and tries to pounce on O. He takes two blades out and slices at her. Auron has two pistols shooting at her, i shapeshift into freddy krueger and start running towards her slashing at her. Her wounds heal quickly and Auron says..

      (Auron talking)

      "Hey this shit ain't working with her!"

      She starts laughing and says..

      (Vampire chic talking)

      "I am the Mother of all vampires, you three have no idea what you are up against!"

      I run at her again trying to slash her she guts me with her nails, picks me up, and tosses me against a pipe and it busts. O then throws some sort of liquid on her that burns her. Auron runs up to her with a katana and slices off her arm. She spits out some sort of acid at Auron, but he avoids it. O starts tossing more of these small round glass containers filled with liquid that seems to be burning her. She teleports, and grabs Auron and throws him into a wall. He fades away after that. I finally get up, and teleport towards her, but she picks me up by my neck and tries to stab me with her nails. O runs up behind her and tries to stab her, but she grabs the blade and bends it, and screams at him with a very loud piercing scream.

      O covers his ears and she smacks him across the room. He goes flying in some pool she was bathing in earlier when we arrived. She now says to me..

      "If it was my wish to kill you..i would have done it already. I enjoy toying with you more."

      (She licks her lips moaning)

      "Fuck you....you, you..blood sucking whore."

      She starts moaning and raises her arms up about to stab me with her nails. O tosses another liquid container at her and she starts screaming and drops me. I shapeshifted back into myself, badly hurt now. Her last words to us were..

      "We shall meet again. This time, i will kill YOU!!!"

      (She laughs and turns into a bat and flies away)

      O is hurt pretty bad, but tells me that we need to be prepared for her next time.
      The dream fades, and i wake up.
    14. 1 GTA Mission?

      by , 05-20-2012 at 07:20 PM
      I was in a alley and some pink lights flashed from the walls, like GTA San Andreas. There were two, meaning that I had two missions that I could do. One of them consisted on learn how to lucid dream (ironic to learn how to LD in a dream) and the second one consisted in going upstairs (there was a ladder nearby) where there were a lot of kids working in a oxygen factory and kill them all (Those are the kind of missions of GTA). So I went upstairs but I saw they were hundreds of them. Then I started getting involved with them and I saw that there were two groups, and of course they always fought or at least they were resented. (There was the factory and a supermarket, those were the two groups). Then I saw hatches and I panicked because I knew they could close them but we would be all dead.

      Later on I became the owner of that giant factory so I left the children, forgot the GTA mission, and went walking to my school. At that moment I knew it was very late and it was the first day of classes, so I went to my aunt's house to see if she could take me to the school. I walked a lot, went through many past dream scenes but I finally got to her house. At the moment I got in I became lucid. I did a reality check, which at first didn't work well but at the end it worked. I forgot completely about the stabilaze so when I tried to change the dream scene the dream just collapsed. I've dreamed a lot before I became lucid. When I woke up it was 11.15 AM and I went to sleep at 4 AM. When I woke up I tried to remain still to try DEILD technique but it didn't work.

    15. Flodding and LD fun

      by , 05-20-2012 at 05:40 PM
      I am with a boy and his family. At some type of kids play place. We leave and are on a shore showing the water rising. I make a comment about this being the place I was at before (I think in another dream). We are now in a play area at a park. Off in the distance I see a wave start to form I say something about getting on the toys since there is a high platform we can all stand on and be safe from the wave.

      The wave hits and we are under water. I help the boy swim to the surface. There is nothing but water and I can hardly see (do to almost losing the dream). I turn in the water to see some boats and stuff. I try to swim towards one, but I start to float into the sky. I start to get lucid at this point and try to hold onto the dream but cannot.


      I wake to a FA, I am bummed I woke. I then tell myself I do a RC just in case since I tend to have a lot of FA. I do the nose pinch Rc and I am happy to find I am still dreaming and lucid again. I get out of bed but hubs kind of stirs and sits up. I tell him to go back to bed. I then look to grab my pants by the bed but I grab a shirt instead. I spend a little time looking for the pants then abandon the idea not wanting to spend the whole dream looking for them. I briefly think about flying as a task, but deiced not to do it as I am in the house still. When I get to the bedroom door I do another RC for good measure while trying to think of my other tasks. The TK task pops into my head and I am happy and excited about trying this as I have never done it before.

      I get to the living room to hear/see my mom yelling at some little boy. I try not to get involved knowing if I do I will lose the dream. She asks me where I am going when I get to the front door. I tell her to not worry about it and go back to what she was doing. I feel her leave. I open the front door and exit. I think about the points for interacting with a dc and if it would count and then think about wanting to fly again but remember TK was on my list first.

      As I am walking down the stairs I notice I am walking into a parking garage type of place. I get the feeling I am sot after by the cops because my mom called them. I try to put on the now panties while walking towards a car and notice I am now wearing the red shirt I picked up. I am now by a car looking at a cop car speeding towards where I am standing. A police cruiser pulls up and a man gets out. He asks if the car I am standing next to is mine. I tell him yes and to prove it I would unlock it. I then think to myself this was stupid since I don’t have my keys. Then I call myself stupid since I am dreaming and mentally pop the lock open. He then tells me I have to go with him and now has his arms wrapped around me. I tell him I cannot and will not go with him while mildly resisting trying to get free. While doing this I fight with myself about turning this into a sex dream but I stay focused on my task. Finally stop walking and tell him as much as I would love to I can go no further with him since I was dreaming and I had a task I wanted to do.

      He just kind of laughs at me and says oh yah. At this point I am now free. I say oh yah and I will prove it. I walk towards a row of cars and put my hands out palm up. I then curl my fingers up a bit and start to raise my hand. When I do every car (about 30 or 40) raises with my hand. I get supper exited and turn back to the op asking him if he thought that was more than 20 cars. He is dumb founded and answers way more. I then spend the rest of the dream doing this with a large group of people and then with some dogs.
