      Lucid Dream

      Night 44

      I had a short LD that ended that I chained into a longer LD, it was too bad that it was one of my early dreams because I do not remember most of the conversations even though I remember them being interesting.

      I. I was in my kitchen with a friend of mine, I remember the phone ringing and I went to go answer it, and I still can't believe it but I looked at the ID and it said "You are lucid.". I was like "what?" and I was like "this is a dream?" and I did a RC and it worked. I turned around and my friend was gone and there were like 2 women there now. I remember I was trying to stabilize the dream because I was more excited than usual, and I could feel the dream fading. As I was trying to stabilize, one of the women walked next to me and started talking to me, she said "So you want to stay here?". She then said something else to me, it was only one word but it was really meaningful at the time, I think it started with a P but I can't remember. As soon as she said it the dream ended.

      II. So, I woke up when I really wanted to stay, so I was thinking about everything about the dream and the next thing you know I was back. I was standing in the same exact spot and the woman was talking to me again, but I was just stabilizing the dream so I wouldn't wake up again. I was more calm and relaxed so the dream didn't start to fade. I was just curious as to who this woman was, so I was just listening to what she were saying, and I cannot remember the conversation, but I started walking with her to my living room. We sat down and I still can not remember what we were talking about, grr. We then walked up to my parents room to their sink, there was someone there and he started shaving me face lol. She was still behind me talking to me, I wish I could remember just a fraction of what she was saying but I do not remember any of it. I remember looking in the mirror, it looked like I was dizzy and like I was about to collapse, but I was standing still, then I noticed the woman reflection and she had real distinct features. I do not recognize her from my real life, but she had dark brown hair just like mine, small like 5'4, brown eyes, and a large smile. We were laughing during our conversation, and when I was done with the shaving we walked to the door towards some other people and started talking with them. The dream ends around here. When I woke up I was debating getting up and writing down the dream so I would remember what she was telling me, but I decided to try to keep on chaining, which I regret now lol .

      Got it? Great! You know what to do.

      Dream #1 Little Red Riding hood.


      Im in my 2nd home fixing me something to eat, when i notice that im in my kitchen and it looks a bit odd. 1st of all i don't live here anymore..so why am i here in the 1st place? My doorbell rings before i even have time to question how i got here. I go answer the door, and what do ya know..ITS LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD!?
      "Excuse me but can you please help me escape from these men who have accused me of murder?"
      Uh..your wanted for murder..and...you want me to help you?
      "Mmhm."
      She nods her head so innocently, as if what she is saying is ok. Hmm...ok, i'll help you.
      "YAY!"
      Mkay, follow me. I lead her downstairs to my basement and tell her to go in the back and put on some fresh attire and i'll take care of the rest. I look in the mirror rubbing my multiplying hawk coin totem.
      "What are you doing?"
      Im goin to project as you and lead them on a chase.
      "Wow really?" You can do that???
      I can do anything in this world.

      Getting prepared.

      Im now putting on little Red Riding Hood's robe, And looking at myself in the mirror. Fully transformed into her now, I head to my back room in the utility closet and strap myself with guns and knives. Ok you stay down here in this basement ok? If anything happens to me, and i don't return back here in a hour, i want you to take this celphone and push the number 6 you got it?
      "Why number 6?"
      Because that stands for N, and N stands for Natalia.
      "Ooh ok."

      Dream #2 The chase.



      Im walking thru this village, holding little Red Riding Hood's basket. and there are wanted posters of little Red Riding Hood all over the place. I walk into a nearby store to buy some stuff. This heavy set woman who looks russian or german looked at me, then looked up at the wanted poster on her wall. I smile innocently and ask her, "how much does this candy cost?" Lol The woman looks at me folding her arms and looks at her telephone and begin dialing. Not wanting to stick around any further to see whats goin to happen, i run out of the store. There are a bunch of men staring at me and talking to eachother whispering. I yell at everybody.. "COME AND GET ME!" And stick my tongue out and give everyone the middle finger. I begin running, I lead the men on a little foot chase and run thru this entire village, jumping over fruitstands, running under vegetable stands, and hopping over cars. I begin shooting at everyone who was chasing me then continue running.

      I now lead the almost entire village thru a dark foggy forest, where you can hear frogs, owls, crickets, and other little sounds. I hide behind a tree and shapeshift into a rabbit and hide somewhere in a bush. I can hear the people chattering to eachother, saying things like.. "Where did she go? She was just here a minute ago?" Im hidden in the bushes as the rabbit and now flee thru another exit of the forest and shapeshift back into myself. I get to a payphone and tell little Red Riding Hood im on my way. I walk thru a door and mentally tell myself that i will be back at my 2nd home when i walk thru this door. I walk thru it and see little Red Riding Hood eating a bowl of cereal. Watching cartoons. I laugh and say.."Well i see you made yourself comfortable. She giggles and runs up to me and gives me a hug. "So do you mind telling me why you killed those men?" She looks down, "im sure you have a reason?"

      "I don't want to talk about it."
      "Alright." But just remember who saved your butt, and gave you a place to stay. "You up here eating my Cap'n Crunch cereal and watching cartoons." Just remembered who helped you. I walk over to my files and records and sit down at a table sorting thru stuff.
      She starts explaining to me about how she is really a agent, and not really little Red Riding Hood. She mentions her real name to me (I forget what it was) and tells me that she is actually 18 years old. I tell her that me and Natalia can give her a place to lay low for awhile til things cool down. She thanks me, and i call Natalia on my celphone to let her know that im gonna need her assistance. The dream ends and i wake up.

      Notes: Im fairly happy with my recall from last night. (Even though i went to bed at 3:30 am) Im surprised i was able to remember so much...though i only wish i could've remember Little Red Riding Hoods real name. But overall im fairly happy with what i got.

      [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]Last night I had many dreams that I remembered in the night,but this morning I have forgotten most of them. Popeye is on behind me, andthat stupid song he sings is really hurting my brain, and my recall.[/FONT][/SIZE]
      [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]
      [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]Let’s see what I remember.[/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT]
      [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]
      [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]I recall walking along Barton Springs Road, by the DiamondShamrock. Water was falling somewhere, from something. I remember a drainageditch, and the water was green. People had been drinking from it, I believe.The water was reported to be good by someone but it was having a bad effect onpeople. I was convinced that something needed to be done about it.[/FONT][/SIZE]

      [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]
      [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]I remember being at Republic Park, and I had walked to thepark from the old court house across the street. I had a time of lucidity herewhen I decided to climb one of the trees, I think it was oak. As I climbed Iknew I was dreaming because (1) I could climb the tree with ease, (2) the barkdid not hurt my hands, and (3) when I finally jumped down from a high branchthe landing didn’t hurt at all. I failed to do a RC of any kind, but I alreadyknew I was dreaming. I called up to my son’s friend, Seamus, who had alsoclimbed the tree, and told him to jump down. I told him it would be okay andwouldn’t hurt because this was a dream. He jumped and was fine.[/FONT][/SIZE]
      [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]
      [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]I had a feeling that I had already jumped before, which alsocontributed to my feeling of being safe in the tree. [/FONT][/SIZE]
      [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]
      [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]Walking away from the tree I approached the street and mydaughter was there, with one of her friends. Seamus either morphed into my sonor disappeared and was replaced by my son. It happened behind me so I’m notsure which, I just know Seamus wasn’t there any longer, and my son was. Mydaughter’s friend was likely the same age as her but I knew my son liked thegirl, so I willed her to be older, about 10 years old instead of 7. She agedand her clothes changed slightly, and I sat down behind her and watched my sonsmiling. I don’t know why he liked her as she was so young (though I had triedto help him out by making her older) but I figured who was I to stop him fromliking someone? They talked for a little while and I sat and looked around,noticing we were in a classroom and sitting on stools, a blackboard behind myson. The wall was colorful with papers stapled all over it, undoubtedlycreations of children who used the classroom. [/FONT][/SIZE]

    4. Jack Black is Dead and I Don't Care

      by , 04-22-2012 at 06:29 PM
      [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]
      [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]This is an older dream, perhaps a week old, that I forgot towrite down. I took some notes when I woke up so I’m pulling that dream from mymemory. I know I have forgotten some details.[/FONT][/SIZE]
      [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]
      [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT]
      [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]
      [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]I’m racing through Zilker Park as part of a competition, orreality show. I passed by a fat Asian boy holding a lollipop. He was smilingand walking in the rain, wearing shorts that were about ten sizes too small. [/FONT][/SIZE]
      [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]
      [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]I came to the bridge at the entrance to Zilker Park andthere was water flowing over it, lots of water. The rain had created quite aflood, and the runoff was flowing onto the bridge and down through a cutout inthe side of the bridge designed as an outflow. As I approached it the waterturned to ice, not smooth like a sheet but mixture of crunchy ice, snow, andwater. I slipped and fell, and my wonderturned to fright as I slid towards the opening in the side of the bridge. [/SIZE][/FONT]
      [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]
      [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]I must have got my footing at some point because stopped andgot up, peering over the side of the fall. I moved in slow motion to look overthe side, my view showing me exactly where I would have fallen to had I notstopped sliding. [/FONT][/SIZE]
      [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]
      [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]The dream shifts and I am in north Austin, outside somestrip of office buildings. Two associates of mine (best word I have for them)had been waiting on my arrival. I had been delayed by driving the van throughrain and ice. They didn’t understand why I had such a big van and initiallymade fun of me, but I told them it was to help me move the drier and otherlarge pieces of furniture and appliances. [/FONT][/SIZE]
      [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]
      [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]After I loaded up some big objects into the van I turnedback towards the two men, who remained near the building. I walked across theparking lot to the table they were sitting at. Their stares were bent on an oldtelevision, perhaps 30 years old with a 14” screen. The News was on, and thereporter was saying that Jack Black was dead, apparently from falling andslipping down an ice/water fall on Barton springs Road. I put my fingers to myface and remembered what had happened. I said, “I was there, and I think I wasthe last person to see Jack Black alive.” I shifted into a memory of standingon the bridge and watching Jack black approach me, happy and loud as he usuallyis. As he approached me he slipped and fell down the outflow, landing on asmall island of rock and ice in the creek below. I even watched him fall, freaking out as hewent over the edge, but I seemed to skip over the impact and he was just deadand lying on the ice.[/SIZE][/FONT]
      [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]
      [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]At this point I was aware of the dream because I honestlywasn’t worried about Jack Black dying. I realized I never even bothered toreport it to anyone, and still wasn’t upset that it had happened. My memory shifted back to the table and thetwo men, and I told them what I remembered. No one ever seemed shocked.[/SIZE][/FONT]
      [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]
      [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]I still did not report the death and left in the van. I wasdriving along a road in western Arkansas, a place I have never been in reallife. The trees are abundant on one side of the road, a fenced field on theother. My view is like a movie camera in a helicopter, an interestingperspective.[/FONT][/SIZE]
      [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]
      [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]I traveled to a high school that looked nothing like the oneI went to. I’m in front of the school and many students were passing me. Iwalked to get onto a school bus, and for some reason my feet were not workingproperly, like I was partially crippled. Some kids asked me if I was O.K. and Ireplied I was, feeling happy that they were showing concern for me instead ofbullying me as I had feared they would. As I climbed up the same kids followedme onto the bus. I walked back a couple seats and found a place to sit. Iclimbed up onto the merry-go-round horse that I was supposed to sit on, usingthe back of another kid to boost me up. I had to get around a nearby baby toget to the animal-seat. Mounting the seat I began taking off my shoes, handingthem to a nearby boy who was reaching out his hand to help me. I thought, “Howpolite people are at this school, “and then I handed him my other shoe just asthe bus began to move.[/FONT][/SIZE]
      [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]
      [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]-*-[/FONT][/SIZE]
      [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]
      [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]I went to Amazon.com , a large building with slopinghillsides outside the entrance covered with a plant that had been carefully cutto a height of about 8 inches. I was standing outside the building on thesidewalk that ran along the perimeter drive of the parking lot usually reservedfor dropping off people at the entrance. I had a large plastic shopping bagwhich I was furiously stuffing small paperback copies of Isaac Asimov books intowith the intent of having them stored at Amazon. I stopped and debated with myselfabout putting all of them into storage, or whether I might want to keep someout for my own use.[/FONT][/SIZE]
      [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]
      [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]And the dream ended.[/FONT][/SIZE]

    5. A Little WILD - Lucid Cloning

      by , 04-22-2012 at 05:44 PM
      I decided 2 days ago to get back into lucid dreaming. I've been out of it for about four years, so my dream recall and frequency of lucid dreams had diminished quite a bit. Now that I'm out of the dorms and have a quiet room, I decided to start up again.

      So, I decided to attempt a WILD. I had only once before achieved WILD's, but I figured I might as well try every night to get better, and maybe I'll have some luck within a few weeks.

      Well, I somehow succeeded on the first night/morning I tried. I set a vibrating alarm (don't want to wake the girlfriend) to wake me up at 5:13 AM. I woke up and went to the bathroom, came back to bed and surfed the web on my phone for 5 minutes to wake my brain up enough before attempting to WILD. I always have had a problem passing out too quickly, instead of holding on to consciousness and easing into lucidity.

      So I started out on my back, and counted slowly, alternating numbers with "I am dreaming." After a half hour, I rolled to my side to get more comfortable, and started over. After no success in an additional 30 minutes, I rolled to my other side and decided to give up. So I had stopped counting, but I managed to hold onto my conscious awareness while letting my thoughts float around. After a few minutes, I felt a small tingling sensation across my body, and no longer felt tired. I plugged my nose and discovered I was dreaming. The transition was seamless, whereas the only other time I had success, it was almost violent.

      So, onto the dream (This green is lucid):

      I got out of bed and walked to my bathroom. My apartment didn't have any strange appearances, and the dream was pretty stable already. I looked at myself in the mirror. The only strange thing was I wasn't wearing a shirt, and I looked more muscular. I guess my subconscious was trying to flatter myself. I tried to think of what my lucid goals were, but couldn't remember any. I decided to try and clone myself to see what would happen. It was strange. I felt my body splitting apart, starting at the head and going down. Suddenly there was a pop and a second "me" was standing right in front of me. Second-me slowly started to morph into a friend of mine, who we will call R. R started to laugh in a maniacal way which creeped me out. I turned and walked away.

      I flew through the ceiling and out onto the roof of my apartment. Looking at the starry sky, I decided to fly towards some. There was a specific grouping in the distance right about the horizon that looked interesting. As I flew towards them, I realized they weren't stars, and were in fact, lights from a skyscraper. I had made it into the downtown of some dream city. I flew around for a short while. I was showing off how I could fly to some DC's when
      my girlfriend rolled over pulling the sheets, waking me up. I didn't fully awake, but enough to become conscious of my dogs snoring. I held onto awareness, and drifted back into a dream.

      When the blackness of being awake faded away, I was sitting on a chair in my living room. A lot of my parents family friends were present, and there was some party going on. I chatted with a few people, and got bored. I went to my computer to see if I could somehow look up what my dream goals were, thinking maybe my subconscious could show it to me. Loading DV was pretty funny, and I never was able to view my goals. I decided to go outside and explore instead. I flew out my window.

      Outside it was dawn, and overcast out. There was a light drizzle. I decided to change that and waved my hand to push the clouds out of the way. I then pulled the sun up to the middle of the sky so it was mid-day. I rubbed my hands together to stabilize the dream a little bit more, but it seemed to be as stable as it would get.

      I started walking down my alleyway, only to find it was now a path/trail of some kind. I encountered a friend, called EB, and said hello. EB made some snarky response and I made a stupid "your mom" joke. He then continued talking to who he originally was. I then ran into two more of my friends, FN and JA. They were both eating Taco Johns. I said, "Hey guys, do you know that right now I'm dreaming?" They both laughed and gave me a response I was not expecting: "Yes. What do you think, that we're idiots?" I found it incredibly strange they responded in that way. Normally, DC's always try to convince me otherwise, and sometimes succeed. My subconscious was being kind.

      I asked if I could eat some of their food, to which they responded, "Go ahead. Dream calories don't count anyways." I laughed and ate. We then began to walk down the path. There was a large group of girl scouts (hundreds) that were taking up the entire path so we had to sit and wait for them to go by so we could continue walking. For some reason, we were walking to a movie theater. I can't remember why.


      At this point a cat jumped on my chest in waking life. It was time for them to be fed.

      The total time I was dreaming was approximately 29 minutes. So I had achieved my goal of staying lucid for more than 20 minutes! Time for me to add the task of the month/year to that list.

      Dream Vividness: 3/5 (Some things were pretty hazy)
      Lucidity Level: 3/5 (There were times where I almost lost lucidity due to boring conversations with family friends, etc)


      I'm pretty satisfied with that as my first night back. We'll see if I can mange to do it again tonight.

    6. Lucid at the mall (attempt to find the chamber)

      by , 04-22-2012 at 04:40 PM (Taffy's Sweet Dreams)
      I was in a mall, and there was a pop'n music arcade game. I went up to it and saw that the buttons were spaced all weird I did a reality check and became lucid. I jumped through a pane of glass (the wall was made of glass and you could see the center of the mall through it) to confirm any doubt I may have had. It works and I'm on the other side. Impressed with that, I walked through the mall and remember that I wanted to do the dream challenge cedward proposed, and sought out the first chamber. There was a group of DCs behind a desk, and I ask one if she knew where the chamber was. She told me she didn't. I said "are you sure?" but she didn't answer me back. I asked a lady outside of the desk, and she got really nasty. She asked "is your 1337 self a dragon or something," whatever that means. I should've looked harder for the chamber, but I gave up and instead tried shapeshifting into a dragon (the lady had reminded me that I wanted to do this). I leaped up and tried to grow wings but it didn't work and I woke up.

    7. Being invaded by planets

      by , 04-22-2012 at 09:08 AM (The Erratic dreams of StaySharp)
      I was in some kind of company building, and the place I was sitting on was very much like the living room in my secondary home, there was some dude staring intently through the window (actually it was a door with a big window), searching for something in an inappropriate way. He was kind of annoying but I didn't care to much, however someone else went there (he had a small dog with him) and opened the door to see what's going on (there was a big dog out there, however the small dog scared the hell out of him, which I found pretty funny). When I was looking outside a moment I saw something shooting star like, but it was somewhat bright outside and due to it being pretty big I figured it was an meteor. Kind of thrilled I went outside to see what was going on and then I managed to spot some planets in the sky, at first only a few, then about 10 which were coming closer. 2 of them were somewhat earthlike so I wondered if one of them was earth, I kinda zoomed in but saw that the continents didn't match earth so they both had to be different planets. Now really excited I ran around with something particular in mind while thinking. I was running across a large plain with several different zones, some even separated by fences, some vegetation here and a few smaller buildings there. There were a bunch of Chinese looking people everywhere shooting with small water guns at people to keep them from moving around, and while some of them thought it was a game, the people in some area noticed something was up when a big wave was coming in, they were trying to do something against it but I figured to keep running, as I was about to leave the place I came to the conclusion I've got to be dreaming so I did an RC and became lucid. The dream was somewhat really instable and I tried at least 3 different stabilization techniques (looking at my hands, rubbing them together and my WSS) without success. At some point I also wanted to go in some certain direction into a grey looking forest for no reason and used super speed and flying with great success until I got tangled up in a tree at which point the dream finally started to collapse for real. I kind of managed to stick to it hard enough so that it just minimized into a smaller window and even managed to force my dream to tell me how stable it was, then I got a big red font across the window, like this:

      Stability: 18%

      The number was changing somewhere around that value and I didn't manage to pull it up anymore so the dream faded. However only into a false awakening which strange enough I didn't manage to catch up to. I woke up in an unknown room, my girlfriend and some other girl were sleeping in the same room, and I got up to write my lucid down like I'm used to, apparently we exchanged a few words but the dream already faded, and this time for real: I woke up.

    8. First trip to the metaverse

      by , 04-22-2012 at 07:54 AM
      4/19/12

      DILD

      I couldn't record this for a few days so I have some fragments based on the notes I took.

      I was lost with Dr. Grant from Jurassic Park. We eventually escape from some compound we were trapped in. I become lucid and fly around a bit.

      I am looking for a way into the metaverse so I find a TV. It is off, but I crawl right through it. I end up in some building and forgot about my metaverse goals. I meet another guy, and I am teaching him how to be lucid. He is looking for a girl and I show him that you can just grab any ass nearby. I eventually go up to this girl and start hitting on her. He is lucid too but doesn't do anything cool. I try to show her how to fly, but we are inside, so I end up jumping to the ceiling and grabbing onto a ledge. I am hanging by my fingers. She doesn't seem to excited to explore lucidity. I go up some stairs to the second floor.

      I lose the dream, and I eventually get a new environment. I go into the same building as before, and I try to go up the stairs. There is a brown leather chair facing down the stairs. I sit in it and ride it up. I find the metaverse TV around the corner.

      I lose the dream and come back. I go into the TV again, really expecting the metaverse. I enter an all black world. I try to visualize the street behind me. I turn around and there is a green outline of a city. It seemed like a computer world. I fly over and the buildings become more real. It looks like Las Vegas. I fly over a pool and fall like 50 ft. I land in the water, but it is only 1 ft. deep. I get out and walk around before losing the dream.

    9. us against the world

      by , 04-21-2012 at 08:18 PM (Tales from the sun chaser.)
      I'm in a random bar, so I'm a little unsure about my surrounds and what not..and I call myself putting an 8 ball back on the table, and it rolls off onto another table where people are playing poker at. I apologize, and head elsewhere. Someone shows me something on their phone for a second, but I forget what it was. I remember bending over to to get something, and then I felt something in my back pocket. I turned around and there was a guy going for my damn phone!

      I started chasing after the guy as he bolted outside, sliding over hoods of random peoples cars. I yelled at a guy to help me, and we both were chasing him but we couldn't catch up. I thought about getting in my car and running him down/over as I saw him in the distance throwing my phone up into the air and catching it.

      "I bet you wont come and get it where I'm at now", he taunted. I went over towards the run down section of buildings with overgrowth and trees, and noticed several black wolves. I decided it was best to just take my car. I got in, and drove over there, and the guy was no where to be found. I said to myself "fuck it", and got out. The two biggest approached me, snarling and showing teeth. I quickly looked in my car for any scraps of food, but I didn't find any. I grabbed a twig off the ground and put it up to the dogs mouth. It ate it and relaxed. WTF, okay whatever. I got a bigger stick and tossed it and it retrieved it for me. Looks like I'm no going to get mauled by dogs after all. I played with them for a while longer, and named the biggest one "mad dog" and the other one "killer".

      There was a old lady with a shot gun that was hanging outside of a trailer who was ready to kill. I told her I was looking for a guy who stole my phone. She said if I could escort her kid to a different bus station then she'd tell me. You see, this place was getting evacuated for some reason, but the numbers were limited or something. So, I really didn't have a choice.

      We came up to this patchwork of barbed wire, wood and other crap put together like a maze or something. It looked like we were heading through something out of fallout. I told Mad Dog to take the lead, because I had a bad feeling. We continued on down this narrow pathway when all of a sudden we were surrounded by dogs. All breeds, all looking blood thirsty. Some kind of way they had us separated. I mean it had to be like 50 dogs in this narrow ass pathway seperating me, the girl, mad dog and killer. I tried to move and stay calm. They just growled.....noting was happening, so I continued. One of them bit the crap out of me and I yelled "attack!". All of a sudden, we're in this gladiator styled arena, and the dogs are humans. It's complete carnage at this point, and I'm running to find a weapon. I see a chain on a pole and I leap up and grab it, wrap it around someones throat and break their neck before I even hit the ground. A few no-hands cartwheels later I'm in full "come at me bro!" mode. I was just owning DC's with that damn chain...and soon as I thought about mad dog, he shows up unscathed. The battle was brutal and we basked its glory. We never did make to that bus station. Oh well.

    10. my ninth, crappy lucid, but it had it's moments.

      by , 04-21-2012 at 02:32 PM
      I only remember the part of the dream were I knew where I was lucid (except for some t-shirt stuff I'm not writing down.)
      I was walking down the stairs when I suddenly thought, Hey.. I fell asleep; I'm dreaming.
      But man, this lucid was of really poor quality. I could not look any more the 2 meters in front of me, and it felt like someone was trying to push a lit over my eyes the whole the time. And at the same time, I was at the brink of waking up.
      The best moments was when I ran of the porch of my house. I screamed, because it was much higher than in real life. I was heading for the parked cars, but luckily avoided them. That was a real thrill
      Then I ran off into the night (because it was really dark outside and I had nothing to do) and before I knew it I had flapped my black feathered wings open and was heading full speed for the heaven. Ah, it was wonderful. I did a salto (spin in the air) and just played around. I spotted my friend L. on the ground and landed next to her. She ought to show me something, and I tried it.
      I suddenly felt like I had bad time and took of again. As I was getting higher and higher, I suddenly crashed into an invisible barrier. Thinking I could make it trough, 'cause it was just a dream, I did. On the other side I was back in low-quality mode, in a room with no doors, no paintings, no people. Nothing. The walls were a light lemon color, and the floor were white.

      More I can't recall to scribble down, so I'll just post a little picture. I like pictures.


      Note to self: In daylight my wings are white, yet they are black at night ^^

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Good morning! Damn it's been a long time since I posted a dream in my DJ... Haven't had much of a recall since the last competition ended. Did have two small lucids but they weren't interesting enough for me to be bothered posting. Had one last night along a whole bunch of other dreams. Didn't write anything of it down so I'll only write down the lucid here.

      21.30: Sleep

      02.15: WBTB 45 minutes.

      09.30: What to do? DILD
      I'm at a parking lot with my coworker Nicke. I have no idea what we're doing there, but I quickly realise something's off and that I might be dreaming. "Hey, this is a dream. What should I do?" I ask him. "I don't know" he tells me. I walk around and wave my arms around. "What to do? What to do?!" I say frustrated. "Meh, might aswell fly a bit." I jump and start flying in circles around him. 'What was my task?' I land because the dream's getting a bit unstable. I rub my hands. "Might aswell just summon a few girls" I say. Nicke tries to protest but I've already looked away from him. I expect to see a whole bunch of them when I turn around and when I do, they're on the other side of a fence by a big bouncy castle.

      I jump the fence while rubbing my hands to stabilize the dream. The girls are sunbathing and don't have much clothing on. I start to get a bit too excited and have to rub my hands to prevent the dream from collapsing. When it's stable again the girls are gone and I'm behind a bush. 'Oh well, I'll just summon them again.' I imagine them coming back and a few seconds later the girls are appearing from behind the corner. I lie in wait but wake up.


      09.30: Wake up

      Amount of sleep: 11 hours

      Supplements: None


      That's it!

      Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

    12. 20 Apr: Make-out with James McAvoy

      non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening

      (...) I entered some café or restaurant and was looking around for a table. I saw a group of 4 or 5 people at a table to my left and one of them was James McAvoy. Well, I have a huge crush on him, so without wasting one minute of the dream, I just walked in his direction and almost knocked him down his chair when I grabbed him by the collar to kiss him. He apparently liked it because he got up and we started making out right there. I couldn't care less about the other DCs. We were already half naked on the floor, when I woke up. Sadly... lol

    13. Long phase of lucidity and trying Plasmids

      by , 04-21-2012 at 09:36 AM (The Erratic dreams of StaySharp)
      I remember walking around an extended dreamscape and my awareness was rising slowly over time until I kind of noticed that I couldn't properly move fast and at some point I did an RC. I think that place where I finally became lucid was some bridge (it was day), and I was running around below it and found my movement capabilities insufficient, I got some strange feeling heralding lucidity and the RC did the rest. Upon becoming lucid it apparently also became night again.

      Then there seems to be a gap, I don't recall anything specific at least.

      I was really trying hard to keep myself in the dream, I was often looking at my hands as well as trying to keep my mind clear and for some reason got the idea to use Plasmids like in Bioshock (probably because people were running around which I didn't deem necessary), and after trying to equip myself with a random Plasmid I got fire and used it a few times, setting a dude on a bike aflame who suddenly decided to say that this bike was mine because I set him on fire. Then I tried to summon a random non-Bioshock plasmid but that failed. I tried to summon a Nova-like Plasmid (like the beam in Metroid Prime: Corruption), but since that failed as well I went directly with the beam Samus usually wields. After kind of defeating all idiots and some time dilation fighting scenes I got my normal Hands back and decided to do a first World Severing Seal, the pillars now significantly bigger than the last time (this time they were white and hollow, with a complicated outside), however the first 2 were not exactly standing straight. I thought about a bunch of things I wanted to do all along the way, especially about my dream guide. In the end however I started to notice how sensations form the real world slowly came in which I couldn't push away and I couldn't stabilize any longer, just as I was about to let it become day and though about trying to fly again I woke up.


      The text is pretty short but the dream itself was pretty long actually, just that a lot of the things I did were repetitive exercises to keep up stability.

      I saw myself in the mirrow and understood that its a dream. Made RC. I was in my old flat. Want nightspy 2 was after the door - open the door - there was fairhaired boy. I noticed that first threesteptask done and disassemble wall outlet. toched the wires - it was so HOT! and I decided to play with elictricity in a distanse - it entered in my hand about 10 santimeters from outlet and i felt warm. Then i decided to swich off lamps and have elictricity in hand - switched off all the lamps. and then i saw the sun on the street and took all it energy in my hand. It became night with stars then i tryed to make third of three step task, i tryed to make portal, paint lines in the air and in the ground and want to move to another place - but nothing

    15. First lesson in time dilation

      by
      Hyu
      , 04-20-2012 at 09:17 PM (Hyu's Adventures)
      A similar music track played during the training part of this dream:


      I'm some sort of private investigator, and I'm searching for evidence with 2 coworkers in an apartment.
      I quickly realize that I don't seem to have any gloves on me and ask one of my friends to give me some.
      After putting on the gloves I go to the kitchen and start opening all the cabinets.
      I wonder what I'm looking for...

      "Hey, what are we looking for again?"
      "Are you serious?"
      "Uuh... yeah..."
      "*sigh* we're looking for a quantum accelerated pipe."

      ... wait what?

      "Like, for smoking?"
      "For smoking weed, yes."

      A quantum accelerated... wtf?
      I keep searching and end up finding the most glorious of smoking devices I have ever seen.
      It seems to be made out of some sort of glass and it glows in all kinds of colors, depending on how you angle it against the light.
      But then finally it dawns on me... a quantum accelerated pipe... yeah... right...


      I rub my hands and further investigate the pipe.
      I am sad to find out that it isn't loaded. I would have loved to smoke some weed.

      I remember that Yuya told me that I should break out of the dream plot when I become lucid.
      Oh! And she wanted to teach me about time dilation!
      I become very excited and quickly teleport myself to Teraluna.

      I end up in a flower garden. Yuya is attending to some flowers right in front of me.

      "Yuya Yuya Yuya"
      "Hi?"
      "Hi! Time dilation and stuff!"

      She grins.

      "Calm down! You're going to wake up."

      Right...
      After attempting to get myself into a calmer state I take a look at my surroundings.
      The flower garden is beautiful. All of the flowers are very colorful and they smell great.
      I touch and smell some of them until I decide that the dream is perfectly stable.

      "So... the thing you call time dilation."
      "Yes!"
      "Well, for starters it isn't really time dilation."
      "I guess. I couldn't think of a better word to describe it."
      "Right. So, there's quite a few ways to approach this."
      "I'm pretty sure I know which way works best for you, but first of all we need to work on something else."

      "Oh?"
      "Well, it's sort of directly related."
      "Sure, what is it?"
      "Your awareness in dreams."
      "I've noticed that you sometimes are extremely aware when you're here, but only for short periods of time."
      "You experience awareness in short bursts rather than continuously"

      I quickly realize that she's spot on about that.

      "Yeah, now that you mention it, it's pretty bad."
      "Good, so first of all I am going to show you a technique to hold a certain level of awareness."
      "Great!"

      She drops the flowers.

      "Let's go for a walk!"


      We walk through the flower garden and talk some more about time dilation.

      "Alright, stop!"
      "Hm?"
      "I want you to tell me the color of each flower on the plant we just passed, without looking."
      "Err, sure? Let's see... it was green, yellow, blue, yellow..."
      "No, you're cheating."
      "I am?"
      "You're using your sense of global awareness to tell what color they are without looking, what I need you to do is to remember what color they are."
      "What? All of them?"
      "Yes! I want you to remember every single detail of what you experience."
      "Let's keep walking and pay attention."

      This is going to be hard... like, really hard.
      Is it even possible to do this?

      "Sure it is, especially since you're dreaming. Remember when I told you the difference between focusing on something in waking life and in dreams?"
      "Oh yeah, that's right."

      I focus really hard on everything I see, even the smallest of details, and try to take mental note of them.
      We walk past a similar plant, with approximately 50 flowers on it.

      "From top to bottom, go!"

      I try to remember and surprisingly, accessing my memories feels natural and easy.

      "Red, red, yellow, blue, yellow... err, ultraviolet?, red, blue, blue..."

      I keep going through about 20 of them until Yuya stops me.

      "Hey hey, awareness!"
      "What? Was I wrong?"
      "No, but you're neglecting your awareness. Have you noted the details of the things we just passed?"
      "Oh... oops. Wow, this is hard."
      "Haha, see, just memorizing and remembering is easy."
      "What I want to teach you is to remain aware of your surroundings, even if you are focusing on something else."
      "If you can do that you should be able to continuously remain aware much more easily."

      This makes so much sense!
      Yuya is so amazing, why haven't I asked her about this before?

      We keep doing this. I memorize all the flowers including other details and try to recite them from memory without loosing awareness of the new surroundings I encounter through walking.
      It's really hard at first, but then it becomes surprisingly easy.
      I feel like a genius, having such amazing memory all of a sudden.

      Since I focus so hard on my vision, it becomes more and more intense.
      I can see beyond the color spectrum visible to the human eye.
      Ultraviolet and infrared, I can see them so clearly.
      They aren't red or violet at all, they are entirely different colors.
      The now 5 base colors start merging together to form new ones.
      Everything is so beautiful.

      It is so hard not to get distracted by this beauty. I have to remain aware of everything.
      But it works! I can quite literally feel my awareness leveling out and remaining strong as I go along.

      Yuya keeps asking me more and more difficult questions.

      "How did this plant smell like?"

      I can no longer answer these question with words, so I project my memories towards her, showing that I remember clearly.
      We go on like this for some more minutes.
      I feel like I have just achieved something major.
      I have never ever experienced such an amount of focus.

      We finally reach the end of the flower garden.

      "And stop!"
      "Okay?"
      "Yep, time to relax, you cannot possibly keep this up much longer."
      "Oh, I can't? It started to feel natural some moments ago."
      "Still, if you keep that level of focus up for too long your brain will just spontaneously break out of it."
      "You'll either loose all your awareness or even wake up."

      "So it would be a bad idea to try and do this all the time?"
      "Yes. You can do it for a limited period of time, for example during a battle where you need the extra focus."
      "What I'm teaching you is to remain at a constant level of awareness."
      "The important part here is that it is constant, not that it is on a level where you have surreal perception and memory."
      "The goal is to never let it drift below a certain threshold, this way dream stability should remain high."

      I understand her so well, her explanations are perfect.

      "It's just more efficient for you to learn it this way."
      "Not everyone is capable of achieving such a level of focus."
      "It's something you often find in dreamers that are experienced with dream battles."

      Dream battling has so many uses, how amazing.

      "So dream stability is directly related to your level of awareness?"
      "Well, yes, sort of. It's complicated."
      "It always is."
      "Actually, it is really simple... like most things."
      "Yeah right."
      "It's the painfully simple things the human mind cannot comprehend."
      "After all your mind is trained to understand the complexity of the waking world, not the simplicity of the dream world."

      Wow. That is deep.
      I have never thought of it this way.
      Yuya never ceases to amaze me.
      She just drops these mind blowing ideas on me, as if they were the most obvious things in existence.

      "Should I try to do this awareness technique in waking life?"
      "No. At least not right now. You said you have constant headaches."
      "Yeah, probably a bad idea."

      She smiles and gives me a big hug.

      "We'll continue this next time."
      "Wake up and write this down so you don't forget it."
      "I will! Until next time!"

      Wake up... Have I ever tried waking up from a dream that wasn't a nightmare?
      Heck, even a nightmare I haven't tried to wake up from in forever.
      I close my eyes and command myself to wake up with my inner voice.
      I feel a tingling sensation all over my body.


      I open my eyes.
      A quick nose plug RC confirms that I am awake and I start taking notes, excited to have taken my first step towards properly long dreams.
