lucid

Before the dream:
I went to bed 00:00 this night and woke up 6:00 naturally after a Non-Lucid Dream, stayed still to recall everything and 20 minutes later I was writing it in my physical DJ. After writing my DJ, I started to do the MILD technique. Imagining the last dream if I was lucid and saying to myself: "Next time I have a dream, I will remember to realize it is a dream." I fell asleep and had the following dream.

The Dream:
I was Leonard from "The Big Band Theory" and I was in that episode when a guy says to him to give up about penny, cause he still want her. (I'm not completely sure this episode really exists xD)
I said I wouldn't give up on her, then he and 2 or 3 friends started punching me.
Now I'm moving to my home (where I used to live some years ago in my old city) to meet with my girlfriend, at this time I'm not Leonard anymore, and I'm not dating penny anymore, but the same guy still wants my GF to him and is coming to my home too
When we arrived there I jumped and kicked him in his stomach, he fell far from me and vanished.
I'm in the veranda of my house (my old one) and now the guy transformed into a cousin of mine, I'll call him PJ.
PJ is talking to one uncle of mine and my sister in my uncle's house that is near to the mine.

My sister comes to me and says: "Is he planing anything evil ? I saw him taking some rocks and puting into his pocket."
I said: "Yes, he is planing something mean, but can I tell you a secret ? You are dreaming right now."
She: "Really? That's cool!"
Me: "Yep, after waking up you should come to me and tell me what you remember, ok ?"

I was speaking like if it was her dream and I was just a DC of her mind
After all that conversation about what is dream and what is not, I became lucid. I remembered about my objectives, I wanted to talk to a girl that is in a lot of my dreams - she haves short black hair, uses glasses and is very beautiful - and ask her name, but I didn't see her in this dream and didn't want to risk losing my lucidity. Then I decided to complete another objective, flying around for a while, I went out of my veranda and started to fly up and up, always saying to myself: "It's a dream, It's a dream" to don't forget and lost lucidity.
For a moment I was afraid of going to high because of a lot of clouds that I saw in the sky, they were very dark and I was afraid of a lightning hit me xD. I remembered again that everything was a dream and lost this fear.
As I was going up I could see everything in my old town, a football field, my old school (my last city is very small). I was wondered in how much details I was able to see.
I decided to fly to a city near to the mine where I have some friends, so I would go a little higher. While I was passing trough the clouds, some little lightnings was hiting me and making me to feel just a real tiny eletrical shock, didn't hurt at all.
When I was almost over the clouds, the dream started to vanish and everything started to fade to black. For a moment I blinked my eye and when I opened again I was seeing the real world with one eye and the dream with the other

While I was waking up, I remembered to don't move so I maybe would be with sleep parallys and easily come back to another dream, everything was happening as I wanted it to happen but when I was almost going inside another dream, my mom entered in my room turning the TV off (It was showing a error message like "Someone tried to desmagnetize this display too much times.") I realized I was completely awake and decided to move out from my bed, thats when I really woke up

Observations:
The last paragraph is a false awakening. I wasn't in my real bedroom, I don't have a TV in my bedroom and I don't live with my mom anymore. But I wasn't able to see that during the dream
When I really woke up I made a RC to be sure, I didn't have the habit of doing that everytime I wake up, now I have

DEILD

I was taking a nap while my roommate was playing music. There was also talking that I could hear that may have made its way into my dream.

I was laying in my bed, and I felt super tired. I could hear music. Nick came up to me and started talking. I was so out of it, I could barely respond. He was showing me this plastic watergun thing he had. It extended and bent in strange ways. I was kind of playing it, but I couldn't open my eyes fully to see it. I pretended to study it, before giving it back. He kind of took it from me because I was using it incorrectly. I tried to tell him how I felt about his thing. I could only manage to mumble the word cool. I was wondering why Nick was even in my room. Then I realized this lack of vision was familiar; it was an unstable dream. I RC and I am dreaming. I start feeling around trying to stabilize. I roll on the floor and lose the dream.

I DEILD, and I am waiting for when I am back in a dream. Someone is talking to me again. I remember that I am alone in real life, so it must have worked. I can't fully open my eyes or talk still. I can still hear music. I feel around and try to stabilize and fail.

I DEILD again and could not get it stabilized.

I am with Ray at a mall. We go into a nice restaurant and as we walk we pass by my old art teacher Ms. Greene. She's sitting at a table with a glass of wine.

"If you want some wine it's free over there at the bar," she says pointing toward it.

Ray starts heading in that direction, but he goes a weird alternate route that doesn't make any sense and took much longer than needed.

....I start exploring on my own and find an opening to a secret unused part of the mall. It looks like several kid rides were constructed in this area. It kind of looks like a carnival in the mall- but abandoned...

...Ray and I are back walking through the mall again....

I start to question my reality. Am I dreaming? Everything looks so real though! I try to do a reality check. I look at a Starbucks coffee shop and study the logo. I look away and look back. Everything is still the same and perfect. So much for looking at text! I look at shoppers and study their faces trying to find flaws. They all look normal and vivid. The racks of clothes in the shops look perfect. I even widen my eyes in an attempt to wake up. Nothing happens. Everything is so realistic - more real than I've ever experienced in a dream before and I've had some pretty good ones! Unsure of myself I walk up to a man who looked to be in his 50s. He was slightly overweight with long graying hair.

"What do you represent?"

He gives me a strange look, "Uh...What? What a weird question!"

I start doubting myself. This might not be a dream after all...I turn around and see Ray.

"Ray, I know this is going to sound crazy but I can't tell if I am dreaming or if this is real life!"

He rolls his eyes,"You're losing it Nick. Of COURSE this is real! I'm real! You're not sleeping!"

"But that's what a Dream Character would say!!!" I yell, clearly frustrated. I feel like I am going mad. Everything then fades away - confirming that I was in fact dreaming.

I have a false awakening. I am on the floor in a sleeping bag and I hear my sister Ashley getting up. The clock reads 7:00. Apparently I am at her place and we are getting up early to go to the beach. I look around for my dream journal....

Then I wake up for real.

I haven't had any recall since my last DJ entry, six days ago. Then I had this lucid dream out of the blue.

So I was riding a bike in a large group of people, many of them being family members,friends and other people I know in general. We were riding though a forest/park setting. I can remember the sun was either rising or setting.
I can't remember many details of what happened during the bike ride or if it was a race. I can remember talking with some of my friends from school for awhile but I can't remember what we were actually talking about.
I can remember more clearly when we got off our bikes and got into some kind of vehicle. I could probably describe it as a mobile home or a semi-truck. I can remember it being all white with an orange stripe down the side, and a black windscreen. Some of the people that I knew got into it too.
I was the one driving, and I drove for probably ten minutes. I can then remember pressing a button on the dashboard of the vehicle.
It caused the front part to sort of collapse and crush me. The crushing was very uncomfortable and lasted about ten seconds. Out of pure stupidity, I pressed the button two or three additional times.
We stopped in a parking lot when I realized that at the very back of the vehicle (The interior was a long, plain white room without any seats.) was my (now dead) grandmother. She was kind of a monochromatic blue color, and sort of hazy. I'm assuming she was a ghost. She was holding a knife. The knife on the other hand, was silver, with a brown handle. (As it should have been)
She started killing everyone inside with the knife. Eventually, A friend from my school named A was the only one alive other than me, and he was wrestling with the ghost of my grandmother. It was obvious he would lose. My mind was racing. The first thing that struck me as odd was that I was seeing my grandparent again, when they have now been dead for almost a year. I questioned reality.
From there I got lucid, just as A was overwhelmed and killed. I put my arms across my chest, then forced them out, pushing out to the sides. The vehicle around me exploded into several large pieces. The ghost of my grandmother was nowhere to be found.
From here, I proceeded to stabilize the dream. I looked at a large oak tree at the side of the road, and tried to make out the details of the leaves, to some success.
Behind me was a small building, with entirely glass walls. It was kind of horseshoe shaped and very small, only one floor. In the middle was a counter with a cashier and people waiting in line, I'm assuming to make purchases.
I decided to try some dream control and went up to the man that was first in line. I can remember him having a sort of tall face, and being bald. I punched him in the cheek, while screaming "sonic punch". I had to reach up above my head because he was quite a tall man.
When I hit him he just sort of looked at me for about half a second. My hand was still on his cheek and he just randomly flew back and hit the inside wall of the horseshoe shaped building.
We got into a huge fight at this point. Knowing I was dreaming, I was doing these remarkable martial arts moves and the man that I was fighting was really no match for me.
Eventually, I wound up standing on a table, holding a coffeepot. The man made some joke, I think it was related to World War II, but I can't remember it. I poured the coffee on him. At this point the dream destabilized. I knelt down on the table and screamed "stabilize dream!"

I had a False awakening. I can't remember the details of it but I woke up, and went around my house telling family members and friends about the awesome lucid dream I just had.

Another DILD last night. I'm getting better at this.

This time, I had much more lucidity and clarity than before. Still not enough to remember those dream commands, though.

I don't remember what made me do a reality check, but I was lucid enough to remember to stabilize the dream. I did the trick where you rub your hands together. For some reason it didn't work. I didn't notice, though.

The dream was very blurry. Can't remember anything. I remember stabilizing the dream and flying. That's all. I don't even remember doing a reality check.

All I need to do is become lucid enough to remember the "More lucidity!" dream command. Then I'll be fine. D:

I was in my house like normal, it was at night, and then it randomly turned to day and i randomly teleported. I was in a truck with my friend and we were talking about lucid dreaming. I told him i knew i was dreaming and i did my reality check. My middle finger faded away. I jumped out of the truck and went in a room made primarily of minecraft blocks (if you dont know wat minecraft is its a game for the computer). I thought to myself to chage the colr of the blocks form blue to red. I concentrated and it turned purple, i concentrated harder and it turned red. I concentrated on being able to jump through the wall and i did. I met back up with my friend and random aliens attacked. We both got weapons and were fighting them when i got drowsy in the dream and started losing control. I stumbled into a wall and woke up. I thought to myself that i had a lucid dream.

non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening

(...) I meet Evangelion at some place and we do some dream stuff together. Soon we feel hots for each other and he grabs me from behind, sliding his hands down my bosom and into my pants. At some point I am naked from my waist down and I have my underwear hanging on an ankle. Someone accuses us of indecent exposure. That's when I notice we are on a bus full of people. LOL But I don't feel embarrassed, because I'm semi-aware that I'm dreaming.
I'm now outside the bus and Evangelion evaporates. The ground is covered in snow and there's guys sliding vertiginously on tobogans and snowboards. I decide to follow them just sliding with my body through the snow. The speed makes me dizzy and I get confused for a while.
I don't know exactly how, but I end up on some room and I feel Riverstone's presence. I have a vague sensation of seeing him entering and exiting through a door on this room. Slowly I force myself to recover awareness and I get fully lucid. There is a mirror on the wall. I remember having read during the day an article about a meditation technique - considered a bit dangerous (I then wondered why) - consisting on staring at your own image reflected on a mirror and I decide to practice it on the dream.
As expected, my face soon starts to disfigure, becomes monstrous and I realize the danger is in becoming so frightened that I can go mad.
I feel the fear growing inside me and, to fight it, I decide to embrace the monsters in me. I stare at the mirror with my eyes wide open until they become so large and red and evil. I scream at the top of my lungs to the mirror and a long viper tongue comes out of my mouth. My hair spreads out in the air and I look horribly demonic. It is hard not to die of fear of myself!
I decide it is enough of this exercise and I recall that Riverston'e was around. Where is he now? The room is empty and I see 3 doors. I decide to go look for him, using a door as a portal. I chose the one closer to me and open it. It is a dark room and it takes me a while to see anything inside it. When I finally see something, it's full of zombies! They are lethargically lying on the floor, or leaning against the walls, but when they see me, they all get up to try to catch me. I try not to panic and simply go back through the same door, calmly. Unfortunately I don't return to the point of departure. I'm now in a post-apocalyptic dream scenario, in an underground complex full of zombies. Shit. I have a slight awareness that it is my fault and I make a mental note to self, not to go about exploring the dream world after unleashing my own demons. I don't feel enough strength to get out of there or make them disappear. I just run and climb stairs and try to find an exit. They are everywhere. Then I figure I can climb walls like Spider-Man (first time I try), which the zombies can't do and that's how I manage to reach the upper level of this building, unharmed. I find a grid leading to the outside at the ground level. There's green grass, blue sky and policemen controlling the entrance to the zombie underground. It all seems like a metaphor for the dark vs. light places of my mind. (...)

[COLOR="#2e8b57"]I'm at this daycare, there are around 10 tables all over the room (you'd think they were flipped, but no, they are standing ;D) and there's a blackboard on the wall.

Some drawings are on the wall, I think the walls are yellow and beige. I am sitting in one of the tables with the little hostages, a "teacher" sits in the table right behind me.

I am sitting there, thinking, what if I want to make this a lucid? I'm already aware that it's a dream, it's not very stable. I reality check. I kind of can and can't breathe. I hold my nose until I can breathe easily, just to be sure.

The RC failed and I abruptly stand up and turn around, I see that there's suddenly a gun in my hand. I shoot the "teachers" (several times ;)) and get the kids to the dressing room.

For some odd reason I ask them to raise their hand, if they want to live. [/COLOR][SIZE="1"](like mah status if ya like puppeehs! :'D)[/SIZE]

Then I woke, I wouldn't want to know what came next anyways. I had like 2 other shooting dreams last night O__o.

[Basically i woke up myself with an alarm at 3AM for a WILD attempt, which failed. After this i was just sleeping, didn't even do a WBTB today]
[This dream happened at around 10:20AM]

I was just watching my family at a restaurant, as they were eating icecream and they acted like they didn't know me, it got me lucid.
At first the dream was kinda instabile, i could feel it, so i decided to do some RCs. This was the first time i tried the nose pinch RC in a dream, it worked interestingly well and it also stabilized the dream for a while.
I was at some kind of crossroads, which had a little grassy park in the middle, it looked like an interesting place, definitely not something that i've seen before.

My first thought was that i have no time to waste now [like i did in the last LD], so i decided to try and summon Lucy around me, to make it easier and faster to find her, just in case the dream would get instabile again.
I kept thinking that she is near me, to summon her and i was turning all around slowly. I could only see random people walk be in every direction in the park. At first i noticed a smaller girl coming towards me, but i knew that it's not her.
Then i thought that it won't work and shouted "Lucy!".
Just when i did this, i felt that someone gently grabbed my arm. I looked around and noticed a nice looking girl with blonde hair and some freckles on her face.
[I was confused, as her hair is supposed to be black and not blonde... but this wasn't the first time she changed her look. I was a little suspicious, whether it's really her or not, but i've got the feeling that it is].

She started talking:
- I'm here
I was looking at her in awe for some seconds, because i thought that she'll just attack me, but she smiled and was nice to me. Then i asked:
- Why is your hair blonde?
- Don't worry! /playful laugh/

I got a little calm and was happy that maybe she finally decided to be friendly to me and help. Just as i was wondering, we kept going as she holded my hand.
Suddenly i noticed that someone grabbed my other hand and forced it behind my back. I couldn't look around fully, but i noticed a girl looking exactly like Lucy, but with black hair. I heard some quiet laughter or something and started seeing dark flames everywhere as it tries to consume me.
[I didn't worry that much, i kept in mind that if she acts scary, i can fight her off, this is my dream].
I shouted to them "This is my dream, you won't do this to me!"
But just as i did, i woke up as i couldn't see anything from the dark flames.
[I went back to the dream with DEILD].

When i was back in again, i couldn't see Lucy or her clone either. I still felt like they are close, so i flew up in the air to check, but couldn't see them from there either.
It got a little dark in the meanwhile, i did some more stabilization as well. The first thing that popped in my mind now was that i could try doing the TotM challenges, as Lucy was gone already and it seems that she doesn't want to cooperate today. Then decided to try to find a well lit place, just to be sure.
Suddenly i found myself in our house, but i just flew through the window [through the glass, like usual] and landed in our garden. I wanted to try teleporting to the sports centre that is always fully lit, even at night. I did some attempts, but my eyes always unintentionally closed a little, so i decided that this is not good, i should think out a better teleporting style later.
[Just then i woke up again, but went back with DEILD again].

When i was back in again, i was now standing close to that sports centre that i wanted to teleport to, but it was daytime already. I kept the TotM challenge in mind. I noticed a bus coming by that had a lot of teenagers on it, i just knew that they were going on a tour or something. I flew through the back of the bus, and sit down inside.
Nobody seemed to notice me at first, so i just kept wondering which challenge to try first... I decided with the advanced one. I started walking slowly and focusing that my plushie shark would appear on the seat near a girl that i was focusing on. I checked, but it was nowhere.
Then i decided with doing the basic task, it will be much easier, there were a lot of people on the bus.

At first i wanted to make sure my body is safe, before i take over someone else's, so i asked a girl to take care of my body in the meanwhile and don't let it fall down or something. So i sit down on her lap and asked her to hold me. I got out of my body fast and easily, i was floating as some kind of invisible gas or something, it was really easy to move around. I looked around a little and found a girl who's body will be okay. [It was mostly girls on the bus, but i didn't want to take over a boy's body anyway].
I just flew into her mouth and the next thing i noticed that i was in control of her. The others were watching with surprise what i did. I smiled at them, making sure for them that their friend is gone, it's me now. They looked a little scared, but i didn't care.
I didn't really know what to do now, as i already took over a DCs body, but it would've been too boring to leave it at it.
So.. i thought about a little fun. I walked back to my real body, which the other girl was holding, and i climbed on top of it. It was an interesting and weird feeling that i'm laying on my own body... I smiled a little at this, then kissed my real body. I was laughing in my mind, but it felt good anyway

After this i descended back into my own body and jumped through the right side of the bus.
Interestingly, i was still in the same place where i entered the bus, like it didn't move at all. I was walking on the street a little, while some weird dog vaccination ads were popping in from nowhere, for some seconds i could only see these. When it was over, i took a huge car from the street and thrown it on another and i decided to stop the dream now, because if i keep going i might forget some parts.

[I woke up by myself, which might sound stupid, but i wanted to make sure i remember everything ]
[I had some more unintentional awakenings, but i could always go back with DEILD. I didn't mention each of them, because i just can't remember where exactly did they happen]

I am in my early 30s and have been having lucid dreams off and on my whole life this is the dream that started me on lucid dreaming
around 13 years old
I was walking around these beautiful mountains my dream guide? native tribal elder guy in a lot of my dreams . says "we are dreaming jump around on the mountains" I jump around I start having fun then I see this most beautiful water fall I have ever seen. I stand in awe .my tribal guide says" we are in russia right now follow me " I follow him to the top of the cliff where there was a outside school.Children are studying at their desks. A man walks up with purple and blue hair.He has long hair and is about 15 or so years older than me. He starts to follow my guide and I around but I ignore him .tribal guide starts to tell me I need to stick this knife between the heavens and the hells (sugesting the earth) I look at the knife it had a wooden blade and a metal handle and just as I am about to grab it the purple and blue haired man stole it .I chased as fast as I could and flew over the mountains . But I was not able to catch up . I knew it was a dream because the tribal man told me it was . I woke up very bummed out that I couldnt catch the guy.I did not hear of lucid dreaming till many years later.

This one is kind of old and happened right after my last entry.
I haven't really found the time to write it down until now.
My dreams are also getting kind of long, which is amazing, but also kind of a pain to write down.


The time is ticking.
I have no choice but to diffuse the bomb, there is no way we'll get out of the explosion radius in time.
I quickly grab an electric screwdriver from my back pocket and start removing the digital clock mounted on top of the bomb.
There is less than one minute left on the timer.

"Hurry up!"
"Shut it!"

Removing the clock reveals a highly complex maze of cabling.
Screw this!
I remove the electronics as well, in the hopes of finding a simpler set of cabling leading to the warhead.
Fortunately I am right. The whole electronics are wired to the warhead by only two thick cables.
I can do this!
But my short burst of confidence is quickly shattered by a rather troublesome discovery.
The warhead is nuclear.
How the fuck did this happen? How did anyone manage to acquire a nuclear fucking bomb?

A quick look at the dismantled clock reveals that I have 7 seconds left.
I decide to cut one of the cables at random.

"I know this setup! Cut the red one!"

I move my knife to the red cable, but it shifts colors with the other yellow one.
Whenever I switch, the cable colors switch as well. It's impossible to cut the red one. WTF!

Seeing the last few seconds run out, I notice that I'm not really scared to die.
I wonder why that is.
Oh...

Yeah...
I start rubbing my hands but am interrupted by the bomb hitting zero and audibly powering up.
Well... this is not good. I might wake up because of that.
I think about quickly portaling the bomb away before it goes off, but then I notice that it is plugged into the wall with an extension cord.
Really?
I unplug it and the warhead turns off.
Lol.

I resume rubbing my hands but I am yet again interrupted, this time by the DC that was with me.
I unsummon him because I have no time to deal with DC's right now.
I need to stabilize the dream and get my second lesson in time dilation...

... I'm in Haven with Yuya and Liv.
I have trouble stabilizing the dream but eventually manage to get there.
Once stable I immediately get back to doing the awareness technique from the previous dream, sort of to show off in case Yuya tests me.
But she doesn't. There is simply no need, she is fully aware of my thoughts and how aware I am right now.
Liv is curious about what we are doing and I have a difficult time explaining it to her.
She is unaware of the difficulty of remaining in a dream or the concept of stability.

We walk along a path that I remember. I've been here before but I cannot quite remember what I was doing.
Then I see the water pools, yep, this is the fighting practice area.
Yuya starts walking onto one of the pools and I follow her.
Walking on water is second nature to me nowadays, but thinking back, it's the first thing that Yuya taught me when I met her again.

I suddenly get goosebumps and instinctively power up and take a defensive stance.
Huh? It was Yuya.I felt the shock of her suddenly powering up.

"Nice reaction!"
"Cheers. What are we doing?"

I barely manage to block her attack as she blinks towards me.
Without my recent training she would have knocked me unconscious with this.
I'm kind of in the mood to fight her now, I wonder how I compare to her nowadays.
I smile.

"Awareness Hyu."
"What? Oh, you've got to be kidding me! During a fight???"
"Why? Are you scared that I'll slap you across the face?"
"Hahaha, alright, let's do this!"

I awaken the dragon and charge towards her.
She easily blocks all of my attacks. No surprise there though.
So far so good, I manage to remain fully aware of my surroundings.
The fight is pretty tame, I don't get myself into uncomfortable positions, have I gotten closer to the skill level of Yuya?

She summons her pressurized spheres.
Well shit. I forgot about those.
The spheres are horribly dangerous and difficult to fight against.
She basically creates 5 water spheres about the size of a basket balls.
Then she compresses them down to the size of a grain of sand.
I'm not even sure how it's possible to compress a liquid at all.

The pressure of these spheres is immense. They can be used both defensively and offensively.
She moves them around telepathically at extreme speeds and can make them burst whenever she wants,
releasing the contained water at extreme pressures, cutting through anything in their way.

You really can't let them touch you unless you don't mind loosing a limb.
Fighting against them requires a lot of blinking, which causes stability problems due to the distorted vision.

It would be rather useful to have my katana right now, but I'm not using it in a practice battle with Yuya, it's too dangerous.
I don't use the dragon eyes either, because the thought on using them on a friend scares the shit out of me.
In return she doesn't use her water extraction technique, which I wouldn't know how to fight against.
I only saw her use it once in a fight.
Within a split second she extracted the entire blood from her enemy and he died on the spot.
It's a really scary technique.

What am I doing?
I'm thinking too much. I should look for openings instead and strike whenever I see one.
But Yuya is way too skilled to provide such an opening, I'll have to force one.
I create and launch spheres of compressed energy at her. Those are rather explosive and fairly dangerous.
I got the idea from her water spheres. Attacks of compressed energy have their advantages.
They are much more efficient against single targets.
The technique is also cheap energy wise, so I can cast it a lot, making it an ideal tool to get someone off balance.

She is moving 3 of her water spheres into a defensive position to cope with my relentless attacks.
Time to get serious.
I make an aggressive blink, right in front of her, and try to strike her with a fist.
This is obviously not going to work, I expect her to blink away.
I'm using a multiblink attack, which is very difficult to perform.
I try to feel where she's going to blink to to dodge my attack and blink myself to the new location simultaneously.

Blinking usually has some sort of cooldown, making this impossible, but using enough energy it is possible to force it.
The energy required to do this is ludicrous though, so multiblink attacks are extremely exhausting.
But you basically put your opponent into a position where he is forced to multiblink as well to dodge the attack.
Yuya and I are skilled enough to do it about 4-5 times in a row, but after that everything hurts.
Your aura is completely unstable at that point and takes seconds to recover, during which you cannot focus your energy at all.

The reason I'm using such an attack is to nullify an immense advantage she has over me.
She doesn't need to stay lucid. She lives in this world, I am merely a visitor.

Here she goes.
2 Blinks... 3, 4, and finally a fifth.
The energy in my fist has completely dissipated due to all the blinking, and she can now easily block it.
I land on the water surface and have difficulty remaining on top due to my now unstable aura.

I attack her again, purely physically this time, as I neither of us can focus any energy.
Whoever manages to focus his energy first will have the tremendous advantage of launching the first serious attack.
I might have the advantage on this, dragonic energy is extremely unstable by nature, so I'm used to it.
I should be able to focus my energy before my aura has fully stabilized.

I can feel my aura tingling. This should be enough!
I focus energy into the tattoo stretched over my right arm and quickly cast a fire based attack towards Yuya.
She dodges it by blinking.
How the hell can she do that???
How is her aura stable enough already to blink?

I screwed up big time. I casted this before my aura stabilized, and now it's completely messed up again.
Yuya is over me charging towards me. She's casting a spell.
Shit, I can't do anything.
The water surface collapses beneath my feet and I am dragged underwater.
She's controlling the water, increasing it's pressure attempting to hold me in place.
I see her splash through the water surface still charging at me fast.
She is wielding a trident.

But she's overconfident. She's in her element, so she thinks I must be at a huge disadvantage.
Yet, even though I do not control water, I can make good use of it.
My aura stabilizes and I create an extremely strong electric field in front of me.
Electrolysis! I split water into hydrogen and oxygen. The correct mixture is highly explosive.
She realizes what I've done too late and I ignite the mixture with a fire sphere.

Oh shit. I didn't think this through.
The explosion is huge and we are both catapulted out of the water.
Everything is extremely foggy because so much water evaporated and water drops are going everywhere.
I can barely see. This is really dangerous, the dream could collapse.
I don't even know where up and down is.

I decide to completely ignore my vision and rely on my sense of global awareness instead.
Good call! I sense 5 sources of compressed energy approaching. Water spheres!
I quickly locate Yuya's aura and blink towards her.
I catch her slightly of guard and manage to land a focused hit.
She blocks it fine, but still.
Focused energy attacks are better to avoid than to block.
They cause all sorts of vibrations in your aura making followup moves difficult.

I try to chain a few attacks together but quickly feel the exhaustion kicking in and I back up.
Most of the water has come down and my vision becomes useful again.

She performs a blink attack.
Shit! She's going to chain them up.
We blink a total of 4 times.
It hurts so much.

This keeps going for a few more rounds.
One of us performs a multiblink attack and gets us both completely out of position.
Then it's a race to the first attack and a matter of somehow defending against it.
It is absolutely exhausting.
My limbs become insanely heavy and I start to loose the ability to focus my energy properly.
We fight for maybe a total of 15 minutes, which is actually quite a long time considering the speed we're going at.

"Alright... let's call it a draw..."
"No... I win."

Oh come on. She's just as exhausted as I am, she can barely stand.

"You lost awareness of your surroundings."
"Fuck my life."
"Haha. You completely forgot!"
"..."
"And guess what? You're still here."
"Huh? I thought the goal of this was to remain aware of my surroundings."
"No, that's not the goal at all. The goal is to have deeper dreams. The goal is to remain here for longer."

...
Wait what?

"Hold on a second!"

She got that grin of her face.
That "she knows everything" grin.

"You're telling me the heightened awareness thing isn't actually necessary to stay lucid???"
"Of course not! How would you pull that off for multiple hours in a row?"
"..."
"I said your awareness level was too random, we did some training to fix that."
"So you're saying it is already fixed?"
"I am now convinced that it is already fixed."

Woah. That was fast.

"So.. what are we doing now?"
"Teaching you to let go."

Let go? Let go of waking life?
Not thinking about it all the time and rather focus on the dream?
Of course... she told me many times before...

I take a quick dip in the water to get rid of the smell.
I'm sweating like a pig.

We walk back towards Yuya's place, discussing dreaming and being awake.
I mention Dreamviews, which I haven't done very often before.
Yuya tells me to say hi to fOrceez and Dark_Merlin.
Liv doesn't say a word. I don't think she's ever seen Yuya and me fight, that must have been quite intense for her.

Damn... I'm so exhausted.
Why do you even get exhausted in dreams?

"Why wouldn't you?"
"Eh... yeah..."
"Indeed."
"So, what do I do against it?"
"... are you serious?"

>_<

"You sleep of course! Or did you think I would sleep just for fun?"
"Well... now that you put it this way."

Liv leaves us and we quickly get into bed.
Goddamn I'm exhausted. Every muscle in my body hurts.

"This is a problem"
"What is?"
"If I want to sleep I'll have to close my eyes."
"So?"
"I might wake up?"
"zzz, you've picked up a lot of nonsense"
"I have?"
"These 'dream rules'. Darkness is bad, don't close your eyes. Don't talk. Yada yada."
"Yeah, I kinda have, haven't I?"
"I know the not talking one is nonsense, I talk all the time."
"It's no different for closing your eyes."
"I know you're right. I only wake up because I'm scared that I might. But it seems hard to get over."

"Pff... hahahaha"
"What's so funny?"
"Hurr hurr, I'm a badass dragon, I can fight a goddess of water and do all sorts of shit."
"Yet I can't even close my eyes.... haha.... I'm sorry Hyu, but this is funny."

It kind of is.
Screw it. Let's do this shit!
I close my eyes.

"You know, when you exploded half of the fucking training pool you didn't see anything either."
"That didn't wake you up, so why would closing your eyes do so?"

Yep, my thoughts exactly.
I open my eyes again to sneak a closer look at her.

WHAT THE FUCK?
How am I awake? What is this shit?
I'm a bit mad, but happy to have made progress.
I take some quick notes and go back to sleep.

I had a funny dream last night


(All of this is one dream)
I was in a dream and then woke up (into another dream). I was in my bed and my laptop had a really big screen with a model in a bikini sitting upside down on my desktop. I looked at the clock and it was one. I opened up notepad to quickly type in my dream so i didn't forget. I went back into my bed and fell into the same dream. I soon woke back up again (into the dream earlier) and typed the rest of what I just dreamt in the notepad. I heard my mom. I didn't want my mom to know I was still awake so I jumped back into bed. I heard her on the phone talking about how she was mad that I was up anyway, and then saying how I was a "big boy" for being able to get back into my dream. I went back to bed, into the same dream, and instantly became lucid. I don't recall what the dream was sadly. It ended and I had actually woken up, for real this time (my laptop was closed and nothing had been typed in notepad. I certainly didn't have the same desktop lol )

I was in a mall, but somebody mentioned that the ground, or underground, floor is full of zombies, or at least people pretending to be zombies. It seems we can access it only via elevator.

For some reason, I ended up there, and I was outside of the elevator. It's a room of sorts. I can't move. I can see the elevator. I started to hear zombie moans and shuffles. I saw the elevator still open, and one "zombie" walking close to it. Then I saw one behind me. I was kneeling or sitting on the ground, stuck. My vision showed a crosshair as I panicked. I think I "know" that they're just pretending, but it's still scary.

I was in the elevator again. The inside looks like a wall, with rough texture. There are three buttons, arranged in a column. The top floor, the middle (regular) floor, and the underground floor. I tried pressing the middle button, but I saw that the bottom button has already been pressed.

I was with other people in the elevator. The door to the underground floor opened, and the zombies were there. As they enter the elevator, they become "normal" humans.

I was wondering what the top floor contains, but never got the chance to press it.

I was in one of the "outside" areas of the underground. It looks something like a mine. There was a lady, asking for directions. Somehow, she went to the elevator area. I heard her scream, and then laugh at the zombie prank.

I don't know why I'm lucid, or how long I've been lucid, but I'm riding in a 70s mustang with the top down with two other people. Some lady in her car talks crap about me, and I jumped out of the car, and told the guy driving, "you know I'm going to have to fight you right". The guy steps out of his car, and he's about 15 feet tall, but I know I got this. The guy kicks at me a couple of times...and apparently he knows Muay Thai. He's kicking just at my waist and I'm absorbing them and blocking them at the same time while studying his upper body. The guy doesn't teleport any upper body movement when he kicks. I think about just focusing in on his legs, but I bet as soon as I would, he would just falcon punch the shit out of me. He kicks again, and this time I jump up and crescent kick the crap out of his face. As gravity takes it's toll, I look downward to see if the guy kicks again, and he does. I grab it, and elbow struck the top of his shin while pulling on his leg, and he fell down. This cowboy boots wearing giant has no balance. I grin and wait for him to get back up. He does, and kicks again. At that same time I rushed in trapping his kicking leg, and pushing it back to it's original position while falling backwards. He fell face first on the pavement.

He rolled over and I got on top of him and started wearing him out. I told him he was going to have to watch me bang his girl, and she got naked without even asking. I started wearing her out (no blood or guts this time either yay!)....and thought about moving on to her mom, but just then I

fdsfI had a fa in my room. Oddly enough my bed was in the center of the room, and some girl was going in my closet. She had my old military jacket in her hands, and knew I was going to wake up.....maybe I still had a little bit of lucidity because I knew I wanted to fully get up and see what was going on, but I couldn't. I kept hearing voices whisper "wake up", "wake up", "he's coming". I told whoever who was in the room to pull me upright. (I'm pretty sure at this point I'm really at a weird phase of isolated sleep paralysis) The guy tries to pull me up, but he cant. I try to do it myself, and literally wake up.

IM laying in bed, in the morning trying to WILD when i see a little hole in my hypnagogia in it i can see a close up of ice and in black word it says olympics written on the ice, i focus on it, and i zoom into it. im laying on ice in the middle of a ice rink i start to spin on the ice to stabilize the dream. I stand up and start to walk towards the EXIT . i cant see threw my left eye and everytime i look down its clear a little but when i look forwards it feels like a wait on my eye and i cant see. I rub my hands and keep yelling clarity but it does not work. As I get closer to the exit i see brown brick wall around a large window thats almost floor to ceiling. it dark outside with street lights on.The I wake up in bed.
