lucid

I'm at my elementary school. I just went through the majority of this one dream where I help this little kid become the fastest kid at the school (or something like that ) and I notice something on the mountains in the distance, something that's not normally there, or anywhere for that matter. I see a giant tower or totem that goes up for what seems like 100s of stories connected by a platform at the top that goes outwards, connected and held up by white iron roped and bars. I see it and then look to the left to see something even cooler, a city of emerald green coloring. It looks like an amazing elven or ancient city complete with a towering castle, all of this on a mountain seemingly miles away. My only thought is "how amazing it would be to go up there" so I then wonder if maybe this is a dream and I can maybe somehow get up there. So, on cue, I check my breathing after plugging my nose and the reality check works, I am definitely in a dream. So spontaneously I smile and run forward and decide, "why not fly"? So, I fly. I levitate off of the ground and feel a tingling sensation all around my body, I look down and see the field of my school and back to the tower and emerald city, taking in their beauty. I think about the possibility of uber charging my flight, like Neo, but it only works partially. I get a bit disappointed at this but just continue to enjoy the sensation of flight. I then start to lose concentration and wake up, without seeing the city. I kind of hope I can see the city and tower someday in another dream, but for now I'm pleased with just seeing them and testing flight

NON-LUCID LUCID

Time Recorded: 7:30, 08-02-2012
Genre: Ordinary
Character(s): Daniel D., Michael D.

I am at my old primary school, on the oval with Daniel and Michael. We are talking about something dream related, which I suddenly jump out and say "hey, I'm actually dreaming right now". I am taking cover behind a crate on the oval, from the men with guns that I am trying to kill with my gun. I am telling Michael about how I realised I was dreaming but ended up fighting some men and forgot that I was dreaming.

DILD

I don't remember much from this dream, but it only lasted around 1 min anyway.

I was lucid in my back yard and decided to try and fly. I wanted to find a jet pack so I could have better control. I visualized it as much as possible. I pictured it as part green and part silver. It was metal and had two shoulder straps. I then start looking around and I find something that resembles my image. It has the right color design, but it isn't the right shape. I try to put it on anyway as I wake up.

I woke up at 3:20 PM, read things on dreamviews until 3:50 PM, then I moved to moms room to spend the next hour and 10 minutes lucid dreaming.

I found my self in my room and noticed that I was dreaming becuase the ground felt different, like my bed. Then I got up and I struggled to keep my vision and not let it all get dark. It got dark, but I pretended that I could see and pictured the scean around me.

I kept waking up and re-entering the lucid dream, by not moving when I woke up. I had a false awakening in my bed and I saw my dead dog cody, so I found out I was dreaming. I then got up and it went dark again.

I re-entered the dream and accidently teleported to the front yard. I then yelled at the sky and demanded more lucidity now and to make the dream more stable, then I asked forgivness for sounding rude. All of a sudden the sky turned a beautiful deep purple and had many more stars than in real life. The stars where also very clear and crisp and I wondered to myself how a dream could make something so real, as I squated up and down.

I then asked for my dream guide to apear to help me, but I found no sign of him. SInce I couldn't find him, I took off flying and found my dream guide on the roof. My dream guide is Yoda from Star Wars. Yoda was standing on my roof holding a fishing pole with the hook floating in mid air, like he was expecting to catch something. I asked Yoda for help but then I got a strong feeling that told me that I should seek the answer inside myslef. Then Yoda was creepy and told me that he would give me a kiss and blew me a kiss and went back to fishing.

I woke up wondering why Yoda would do that. Right as I was about to re=enter my dream my alarm for school went off.

I was at school in my media studies class. It was the same as usual, except this time I got asked a question on something. The question related to the last part of this essay plan we were given, but it was completely different to what it was in real life. I guess after this I started getting lucid. I was confused by this, and ofund a way to not answer the question. I was then outside, in the middle of the school, and it was raining, there was also something to do with these ships from space. I stood there, not knowing what to do for a few minutes, and eventually I ended up in this place where a lot of people my age hang out at school. My friend who moved away a few years ago, who I still talk to every week, was there. We spoke, but then everyone ran off, and only a few people didn't understand why, including myself. So we all just sat at this table and spoke about things. I looked at the time, it was an impossible time, I definately became lucid after this because I remember realising that it was a dream and being confused by it. Eventually I woke up, I didn't really get a chance to do much with the lucidity. Disapointment.

Synopsis: After helping two lost kids I become lucid and meet "dreamers". I chase down dannon, dive into a mucky river, and visit a Moroccan like city

Note: I had just woken up from a night of random nonsense dreams. So at 7:30 am I refocus on dreamsharing and on the pyramids.

Lost Children
I'm walking to work and I pass by two children who looked so sad. Wait a minute, I turn around and realize these two young kids, a boy and a girl no older than eight were walking without their parents in the warehouse district.

I asked them if their mom was nearby and they told me they were running away. They looked like they had been walking for days. So I took them with me to work and hid them behind the receptionist desk. I'm starting to get this weird feeling. Like I'm dreaming.

I ignore the feeling and focus on the kids. Boss is already giving me work but instead I look for food and water to give the kids. I had a giant subway sandwich *what I hate subway* and found water under the boss' desk. Damn, I've got to be dreaming!

My vision is blurring in and out, this only happens in dreams and in dreams where Im close to waking up. I bang on the wall and scream "VISION!" My right eye clears up. I bang on the wall a couple of more times just to feel the pounding sensation and solidify the dream. "LEFT VISION!" My left eye clears up. Well no one is looking at me like I'm a freak so I've go to be dreaming. I levitate just to double check.

Yay! Lucid, I still give the kids their water and hoggie and then I run out of work - free!

Part Two: Dreamers Friends and Freaks
There's so many people downtown! And they all looked like dreamers to me. I realized I didn't know anyone in iosdp well enough to even know who I was looking for. So I remained curious and skeptical that maybe these dreamers were just DCs trying to fool me.

A large group wanted to go out to eat. But one tall slightly heavy blond says "I don't want to waste my time eating in a dream when I could be doing something more exciting!"

"Yeah you're right!" So I grow bat wings and start to fly around town, over the park and light-posts. And then I see Dannon down below. I land and talk to him. "Are you the real Dannon?" He tells me something but I don't remember it. Suddenly he transforms into a golden colored lion and makes a mad dash across the city. I was scared he was going to pounce me so I flew away again.

I fly over a river. Except you can't tell its a river because its so mucky. There's a thick film of slimy green stuff, you can't even see the water below. I float for a second or two debating it but I cant fight my dream instinct. When I see water I've got to jump in. I dive into the mucky water head first.

I first I regret it, it was scary down here. The water is black, I see something floating, is that a dead body? Then I see something swimming towards me, a dolphin! I pet its large forehead and then I fly out of the nasty water.

My vision is blurring again. So much I can't really tell where I'm going or who I just walked past. It lasted for several minutes.

I find a courtyard where a man was teaching something to a group of kids. I don't remember what but it seamed relative to dreaming. I turn into a bat creature again, scare the kids and fly away.

I find the dreamers and Dannon one more time downtown. The dreamers finally decided they would eat at Pei Wei. Dannon says "I love pei wei!" but he wasn't hungry so he turns into a lion and runs off again

After a while I enter a desert city with beautiful arabic like buildings. My vision cleared up and I wanted to remember the architectural details so I start shouting "BROWN, RED, OCHRE!" The colors of the details, the doors, the windows. But this city was empty.

I keep flying but now I don't remember what it was I was looking for. I fly through someones house and out the other end was a beautiful grassy plush field surrounded by forest. But the husband of the house, an old black man, thought I was the spawn of satan with my bat wings and hurled harpoons at me. His aim was horrible so he gets his son out and yells "Get'er!". Scared I flew into the forest, my vision blurs and blurs and blurs until the dream dissolves and I wake up.

Very successful night for me! OBE & LUCID!

At first I experienced an out of body experience. It was about 12 am. I was dozing off on the couch, unwilling to drag myself into bed as my boyfriend was playing a computer game. He was chatting with his cousin who I could hear over the computer speakers and there were also some game battle sounds coming out. I thought that I had gotten up off of the couch and had walked over to look over his shoulder at the computer screen. I bent forward, resting on the back of his chair and rubbing his head with my hand. I started to make my way to the kitchen when I felt for a moment like I was being pulled back to the couch. This moment was very fast and then I “woke up”. I was back lying on the couch in my original position. It felt very strange, not at all like a dream but something more. Another strange note I have to add, when I leaned on the back of Allen’s chair and rubbed his head, he didn’t respond at all. This would be unusually of him not to at least say hi or something.

I was in a fancy condo on the water. There was an upscale party going on, we were all in cocktail dresses drinking champagne. I went outside on a balcony. I was a clear night sky and very warm out. I could see a giant cruise ship that was literally right next to the condo but bellow where I stood. Madonna was having a concert on the cruise ship and I could hear her singing “Lucky Star”. People were lounging in the pool and the decks were flooded with on lookers. This made me think back to “holy ship”, a dance cruise I wanted to attend but didn’t. Allen was next to me and I told him that we should attend the next dub/dance cruise that we could. He agreed but said that it wouldn’t be as good as the one we missed. I agreed and was disappointed.

Was in my apartment. I noticed that the ends of my hair looked blonde. I went to the mirror to confirm and it was blonde. I knew right away that I must be dreaming because I recently dyed my hair dark. I did a nose plug reality check just to confirm, plus I think it feels cool =) and sure enough I was dreaming. I though to myself that I should just run through the door like in my first lucid when I was 8. I started to run at it but chickened out at the last second. I stopped and kicked the door and it was hard. I knew that I could bust through it if I mentally tell myself that I can and believe in it but I found it to be a waste of time and I chose to just open the door and walk out of it. It was beautifully warm and sunny. I stopped for a moment and closed my eyes to let myself feel the sun on my face. I started to walk the parameter of my apartment building while running my fingers along its walls. The building squished under my finger and felt like sandy putty. I found this to be really cool and I kept squishing the building and putting my finger prints in it. Then I got the weirdest desire to take a bite out of the building. I squished a bunch of it into a ball and it tasted like apple cinnamon. I turned back to the sun and tried to think of what I should do next. Should I fly? Make a portal to somewhere else? Summon my DC minions?? I was so content and at peace just standing there that I decided it really wouldn’t be a waste to just enjoy the feeling of lucidity. I closed my eyes again with the sun beaming on my. (mistake but I don’t really regret it) Everything turned into a white light. I am not sure how much time passed here but I forgot about the fact that I was dreaming. I was in a new dream now where I was at a Mexican convenience store. It was super hot outside and I was buying ice cream. I put one in my pocket and the man warned me that it would melt there. I quickly unwrapped it and ate it. I stepped outside. There scenery around me was like a dry desert. Everything was destitute and baron. I walked around the store casually. I knew I was waiting for someone but I cant remember who. I wake.

I didn't think I'd be able to have a successful LD this morning because of too many sounds and people and interruptions and cell phones and dogs, but I finally DEILDed and felt that naughty demon grab me and hold me from behind. I tried to flip him over but this time he remained steadfast and glued to my back. Completely lucid and ready for battle, I stood up on my bed. He was still hanging on, dumb dick. So I jumped up, and off the side of the bed, using the edge of my mattress as a 'scraper' and the demon peeled right off, and landed on my bed with a plop. Already having taken the form of a pretty brunette woman, she lay there, unmoving, in a near vegetative state. I won. I disrobed her, whipped out my man junk, and went to town. Of course I woke up too soon, spoils of victory taste tooooo gooooood.

I woke up but was able to go right back to it, this time she was more blondish. I wanted to do everything that Alyzarin and I had discussed, because I was bound and determined to make this a full victory. So I got out of bed, went to my bathroom, and looked at my reflection in the mirror. As always, my obedient doppelganger's eyes turned almost a lime green, with little silver sparkles that moved over almost gel-like irises, nearly devoid of pupils. I looked down at my hand, moved it back and forth a bit, and felt my lucidity temporarily stabilized.

I went back to bed and started to do my thing to the demon bitch again, but I woke up again.

IT WAS SO FUN.
High 5, Aly!

Two lucids AGAIN! Holy crap! This night was fairly bizarre as it was, but I think the last dream was the most interesting for me.

#1 - Parties And Dancing [Non-Lucid]

There's a family party going on at my house. Apparently I'm tormenting my cousin G and his brother P is supportive of it at first but not later. I don't remember much of that part of the dream, though. What I do remember is that I was wearing some completely ridiculous dress. Not ridiculous by look (I don't even really remember what colors it was or anything), just by... function. The entire time I was wearing it it was constantly shapeshifting itself and my body, I would look down and my boobs would alternatingly shrink or become pointy or slide around on my chest and stomach and the dress would randomly inflate and deflate and become really light and really heavy, at one point it basically felt like it would if I had a t-shirt on with a really thick pillow stuffed into the front, it was so awkward feeling. For some reason though, I also felt really confident in myself, like the dress looked really good on me or something. There was music playing and my aunt asked me to dance. We did for a bit and then I felt really good about myself so I went to the center of the room and did this dance that I came up with while tripping that I do when I'm alone that I feel is really cool to experience but I've always been too embarrassed to do it in front of anyone. Amazingly, I did the entire thing with my eyes closed AND was spinning a lot and when I finished and opened the scene still hadn't changed. It also made my other dream senses become much more apparent, which I thought was cool. Everyone was impressed at my dance, and I still felt embarrassed but in a good way. This is all happening in the den, and when I walk by the living room I see G still avoiding me. :T After that I walked into the kitchen, and maybe to the laundry room but I can't remember, but then I turned around and walked through the hallway behind the bar which somehow led outside into this beautiful garden (at the time I thought it as a park) with a few tables set up, and apparently my cousin A and her husband P (different P than before, but actually even the same name in real life) were having another family party as a follow-up to the one I was just at. Now I'm suddenly wearing some hard to remember white top and blue velour pants, I'm not sure what happened to the dress, but I actually am confused about it in the dream. I walk past a gazebo and see P sitting down with some random Asian guy at a table so I join them, but then A and other P told us that the Asian guy wasn't with us, so we felt embarrassed, and he looked at us weirdly and asked "Who are you...?" After that, I woke up.

#2 - Pointless Obstacles [Non-Lucid]

This one I was a little lazier about making note of so I don't have quite as much detail remembered, but I do remember that I was going to hang out with my friend K and I was wearing the same dress as before, only much more stable and unchanging. I was at his new apartment complex that he just moved in to and it was nighttime and snowing outside. Though one of the rooms of his apartment is apparently on the ground floor (it's not, it's on the top) and I can see through the window, I still start climbing the stairs up to get to the main entrance. Normally there's just a staircase to climb up, but this was like a legitimate obstacle course. And not just a regular one, I mean it had floating and moving panels and big gaps where you could fall through the floor into darkness, it was a like an intense video game map. I don't remember much of the first parts, but I had to work through several floors and finally I got to the top one. I climbed up a ladder to it and opened up a wooden hatch on the ceiling, and T, one of K's old roommates, was there in a sleeping bag in what looked kind of like a cross between a storage room and the inside of a pirate ship. >.> At this point I notice I'm somehow naked, but it doesn't bother me too much. I ask T if I can borrow one of his blankets, and he hands it to me and when I wrap it around myself it transforms into some really crazy anime outfit, and I go third-person and I have hot pink (but sort of almost red at time) hair with those gigantic anime/game character curls.



I make my way across some giant obstacle field made of ice, and hear some girls in the corner having some random conversation that catches my attention for a second but then I finally make it to K's door. But he rejects me because it turns out he's busy hanging out with someone else. I turn around but end up slipping on the ice floor and end up falling into the blackness below the floating panels, and that carries me all the way down through the floors I'd made it beyond so far, finally ending with me hitting the ground with very little pain. :\

#3 - Creepers Beware! [DILD]

I'm back outside at K's apartment complex, and it's still nighttime but not snowing. I'm walking around waiting to do something, but then I remember it's in what can be considered a kind of shady area, and I'm afraid of getting mugged or worse by just standing around. >.< I start walking back to my car and on the way there a gang of guys who're loudly cracking jokes about something comes walking near me which makes me uneasy, but then I suddenly become lucid and the dream starts quickly ending. The dream is very visibly crumbling around me, my vision is narrowing down to a pinpoint with just blackness surrounding it and frequently the entire dream blurs and looks sort of like a big crystalline fractal image, but not an actual 3D scene or anything. I'm tired of becoming lucid and having dreams immediately end, so I start furiously rubbing my hands together. I also start repeatedly yelling "BECOME LUCID!" and "MORE VIVIDNESS!" and every time it actually works a bit, but the dream is still obviously hanging on to its very last breath of life. I figured I'm going to have to interact with the dream a bit more if I want to really save it, so I walk over to one of the creepers and start talking to him. I act all friendly and lull him into a false sense of security, then grab him by the shoulder and punch him in the crotch as hard as I can. I laugh as he falls, but as he does I see the dream go all crystally again and I'm afraid my efforts aren't working, though my full vision was returning. Next I grab him by the crotch, then blast off the ground with a sonic boom and fly us up right into the side wall of the nearest apartment building, where I position his head directly at it and smash him into it, still applying the force directly to his crotch to do so. There's an incredibly loud impact sound and the side of the building crumbles around his body a bit. I let myself fall back to the ground and am satisfied because the dream seems to have restabilized enough. I walk around and notice that it's daytime now, and there's still really nothing to do. :T But that's okay, I've already had my fun. I flew up to get a nicer view of the apartments from the sky, then the dream ended.

#4 - Lucid Within A Non-Lucid [DILD within a Non-Lucid]

This one I only have a short description of, but it was rather interesting. It starts with me in a class but this kid, J, who only went to the same school as me up until middle school. The first part may have been more of a transitional state or a hazy third-person part, because I honestly don't remember much of it at all, at least in any way that really makes sense in my mind, but it was about us fighting robots in class! After that there was some kind of boss, and J handed a magazine that was apparently it. I tried to figure out how a magazine could be commanding robots, and there was some kind of hint in one of the articles about there being a sensor of some kind hidden above the ceiling tiles in our classroom, but then we just kind of abandoned that plot and started waiting for class to end. I go sit down at my desk and get really tired, and fall asleep while waiting. Here's where things get strange! I lifted my head and I was still in the same classroom, but the people were acting weird and robotic (heh) rather than how they had been a second ago, and everything had a really foggy feeling to it. It was extremely trippy. I look around and think, wait, I just fell asleep in this class and now it's different and... wait, is this a dream? :O Yes, that's right... I became lucid based on clues that weren't true. And at the time, though it was a legitimate lucid and felt like one (rather than just dreaming about being lucid but not actually being), I still thought of the non-lucid dream as reality and where I was sleeping. The atmosphere of the lucid was extremely confusing, probably because somewhere in the back of my mind I knew that I was lucid but still very unaware of the situation. It honestly felt like I was the lowest level of lucidity I could possibly be. I decided to just waste time since I was waiting for class to end anyway, so I had everyone in the class start singing a song. The teacher even joined in happily. I wanted to go flying outside a bit after that started, and I saw it happening in my mind's eye but it wasn't really, and then everything got really hazy and I figured the dream was ending, so I woke back up... into the non-lucid dream. Obviously, I thought I was awake at that point so I lost lucidity. Not long after that though, I actually woke up. What a strange experience!

I can't really remember this dream, I was able to earlier though. However, I do remember being lucid and having dream control.

This dream didn't occur until the morning time.

I was knocking at my front door ( Which was round the right side of the house for some reason) and I noticed that there was a rounded window next to it. After seeing this I relized that I must be dreaming so I did a reality check (pinched my nose and took a big breath in) and yes I was dreaming. Now lucid I continued inside the house into the living room where I met y sister Fran. I tried convincing her that this was a dream but I don't remember her reaction. I then attempted to walk through a wall (which failed) before following my sister outside. When outside, I can't remember where my sis went, I started walking in circles wondering what the consequences would be if I went off doing loony things and it wasn't a dream. I wondered round the side of my house (where the door originally was) and I food my dog Harvey being cuddled by my step dad stuart - who was calling him a fat pig for some reason. When I saw Stuart I thought it would be cool toehold him and blow his brains out but I still couldn't work out, or accept that it was indeed a dream. My dog went off and me and Stuart walked round to the front garden were the sky,previously being grey, was now a summers morning blue. There is a house (in real life) about a couple of yards up the road from my house, this house was now infront of my house. I tried to convince Stuart that this was a dream and what did it for him, and me, was seeing a car on fire flying over re opposite house. Shortly following that wad a massive convoy of old sports cars. I said to Stuart "you don't see that every day do you, this must be a dream". After some muttering Stuart agreed. I then pointed out an old man looking at us from the opposite house, who then came out to talk to Stuart. Whilst they were talking I went of running down the road thinking what to do. I shortly came to a part of domewood, where I live, that I have never seen before (because it was made up by my mind). I got to a dead end and turned around to try and find Stuart and the old man again. Whilst running back I attempted many times to fly. After many fails I jumped about in a rage, and after one big jump and a scream I flew for about 3 seconds, 60ft into the sky, before falling down and getting weird visons of a red stop sign in my head almost like my mind was saying ERROR! When I was falling I remember a web page saying that falling from flight wouldn't hurt me, so I buckles up and waited for my face to meet to pavement. Now standing up I was down a new road now. This road looked like it was in the muddle of tge countryside. As I continued down this road the old man and Stuart were back in my sight. They were accompanied by 4 little children, my mum, and maybe my uncle in laws girlfriend Kim. I got to the group and spoke aloud saying that everyone would be amazed at what is about to happen. I picked my space on a field next I tge road and everyone gathered around. I then jumped up in the air screaming, and landed flat on my face. Everyone started to laugh apart from the children who were now playing and the field. As our group entered the field I kept on trying to fly again. I only successfully did it twice more but no one noticed because the 'drive' feeling I got lasted not even a second and I was lifted about 30cm. My mum, who was now sitting on a bench at the back of the field with Stuart, kept laughing at my failed attempts. I tried convincing her that it was all a dream. I told her and Stuart about how I flew earlier on my own. Telling them that seemed to change my mums facial expression. But then I could feel myself waking up and it all went silent.

Note - throughout the dream I kept on doing RC's like pinching myself or looking at my hands or a mirror and I rubbed my hands together twice so that it would last longer.

I am with two people in a movie production. We are the actors. I don't know what the plot is but I know it has something to do with video games (I think I was supposed to be Donkey Kong). We're in an abandoned place that looks a lot like a hospital. I open the door to a hallway and there is what looks like a Silent Hill mannequin nurse at the end.

"Silent Hill!" The actor next to me yells, "That's not original at all!"

We run away from it pretending to be scared for the cameras. Out of the corner of my eye I spot the beautiful Mena Suvari working behind the scenes. We head down some steps towards what appears to be a cave. At this point I realize I am in a dream.

This guy comes out of nowhere and introduces himself and tells us that this cave is his place. He is taller than I am, and has medium length black hair. He seems really nice, and I feel like I know who he is, and that he is another dreamer.

"I want to show you something," he tells me, leading me further inside.

We come to a piece of art painted on the cave floor. It's an animal, comprised of different animal parts. Mostly bird but part lion, similar to a griffin except not quite the same.

"Do you change into this form in your lucid dreams?" I ask him

He nods yes, "Look at this other one I've been working on. I'm trying to perfect it's abilities."

We walk to the right and look at a second painting on the ground. This one is of a raven with huge outstretched wings and flowing feathers. In the image the bird is actually breathing frost like an ice dragon. It looks awesome.

He walks away for a moment and one of the other DCs I was with earlier comes up to me.

"Your friend has a present for you."

He hands me what looks like a candy bar. I pull open the wrapper and see that it's actually some kind of jerky meat. I start chewing on it. It tastes funny, I don't think my mind was quite settled on what it wanted it to be like. But it does the job. It helps me to stay grounded in the dream. I realize he gave me the present to do just that - keep me in the lucid dream. It makes me smile. I run up to him and give him a big hug.

"Thank you," I say.

He grins, "No problem."

At that moment I think about my body lying asleep in bed. Everything starts fading out. Crap! I'm not supposed to think about that! But it's too late. The dream dissipates and I wake up.

During this dream I was told the name of the guy who was helping me a few times. I can't for the life of me remember what it was. All I remember was that it sounded like a screen name. Like he came from the forums. And I felt like I knew him well. When I woke up however, I realized that I in fact have never met him before in waking life. I do not know who that was. It's a weird deja vu kind of feeling.

All this began from the massage of my head - somebody does me massage and I saw a very bright picture, and then he finished - the picture disapear and I was in the bed(in dream).
I was walking in the streat DILD and went to the first DCs - it was tall man and his mother - I thought. I gave the man a valentine card - the card was already in my hand. Said - good luck in valentine day! He answered - thanks - took it and they went away.
I went to find some picture - even tried to break a n office window to find some picture there, but could not. In some window i saw a picture with 2 bright parrots - i flew to it and tried to enter the picture - i went through the picture - and saw street and the picture of the parrots on the window.
I went ot the street again and found advertising (i think advertising of tea) with big picture of green mountings, lake and a woman. I flew about a meter to be the same level with the picture an went in it. I was among the green mount and some man was near me. I have very less control and couldnt take something from the picture - I began to rub hands and face - but it didn't help and I fall in the some room, but on the wall was other picture. I went to the door to go to the street and tried with adverticing once more and awoke.

This video was posted the night before this dream on reddit.
It got me really curious about Burning Man and I read up on it before going to bed.


I'm driving home.
I decide to take the country road, which I love.
It's nearly always empty and is full of corners with very good visibility.
In other words it's quite safe to drive really fast, and you barely ever go over the speed limit doing so.

A village is coming up so I attempt to slow down, but something is wrong.
The brakes are fading... badly!
I'm going downhill struggling to stop, the brakes aren't biting.
I enter the village quite a bit too fast but manage to come to a full stop after quite some distance.

What happened? I haven't had any brake fading since I changed to aftermarket brakes, and I wasn't even pushing them that hard.
Plus brakes don't just loose all their bite that quickly, they would have gradually started fading.
I get out of the car to check on the brakes and the pads are quite literally on fire.

No way... I try to recall if I was racing, but even if I was this couldn't possibly happen.
I get back in the car still trying to remember my driving, and start driving slowly to cool the brakes down.
I can't seem to recall my driving at all.

And then it hits me. I'm dreaming!
I immediately remember Burning Man and decide to go there.
I close my eyes, and imagine myself walking on the Playa.
Why did I close my eyes? I can teleport with my wings, this seems unsafe.

I open my eyes and find myself already at Burning Man.

"Huh... that was easy..."

I notice a woman in front of me, staring at me quite intensely.

"No, it wasn't. I brought you here."

Interesting.
I scan her aura to see if it is Faye messing with me, but I quickly realize it is not her.
It's the "hibiscus girl": Another mysterious woman / Emotional and sensory overload - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
The last two times she was wearing clothes with a hibiscus drawn on them, but this time she's wearing the actual flower behind one of her ears.

"Well... hello there."
"Come!"

She grabs my hand and drags me away.
She blinks the both of us a considerable distance ahead, and we end up in a location where people have set up all sorts of art pieces.

"Beautiful, isn't it?"

I investigate all the pieces carefully.
They are very different from each other, but every one is beautiful in its own individual way.
There's everything from over-sized mechanical spiders shooting flames to tiny crystal sculptures.

She grabs my hand again, and gives me this look that clearly states that she is in control.
This is the second time she just dragged me into another dream.
I don't really mind, because I find her very interesting, and her presence is... quite arousing.
She's extremely attractive and quite sensual.
I'm drawn towards her.
But I sill feel the need to be at least partially in control of what is going on.

"We're going to climb that sculpture"

She points at a tubular structure.
I resist the dragging and she looks at me.
I stare deeply into her eyes and grab strongly onto her arm.

"No, we're not. We're going dancing."

I smile, and pull her to a new location through my eyes, the way she has done it to me before.
I get us into some sort of club they have constructed here.
There's a center pillar giving support to a huge tent.
We stand on a small platform attached to it, a few meters above the ground.
There's neon-lights everywhere, in all kinds of colors, lighting the place up.
Some follow the rhythm of the music.
They are playing vocal trance. (A bit like this starting at 2:30)



The girl is visibly surprised that I just dragged her here.

"Dance with me!"

She's unsure for a second but then smiles.

"Sure"

She leans her back against me and we dance slowly to the very atmospheric music.
I really enjoy it. She smells very nice... it reminds me of lavender.
She brushes through my hair with her fingers... I wish I had such good hair in waking life.
The flashing of the lights turns my vision slightly blurry.
She turns around and closes here eyes.
She moves in for a kiss, and it's absolutely magnificent.
I feel full of energy.

I can feel how much she is enjoying this.
But then something startles her.
She looks at her hands and starts fading away.
She manages to look at me one last time before she completely disappears.

I decide that she must have woken up, how unfortunate.
My vision is blurry as well, I need to get out of here and stabilize.

I teleport outside where it is dusk now.
I rub my hands vigorously to stabilize the dream.

I walk along a path with more sculptures on both sides.
I meet many people, all very different from each other.
They're all extremely nice, everyone is smiling and says hi.
I wonder if Burning Man is anything like this in waking life.

Some guy explains to me how to build these tubular structures and I end up helping him extend one of his sculptures.

October 2011
- Visit a house and ask for Trick or Treat - Report what you were given
- Become one of the 13 Gods of Olympus (Zeus, Posiedon, Hades, Athena, Hera, Apollo, Artemis, Hermes, Dionysus, Hephaestus, Ares, Demeter, and Aphrodite)

I had an unreasonable amount of problems with the basic task.
Whenever I knocked at a place, people either wouldn't open the door, claim that it is late and they want to sleep, or state that we do not celebrate Halloween around here.

During one dream I considered doing the advanced task, but realized that I didn't know enough about Hades, which is the god I chose to become.

• I'm walking through my street hoping to finally complete the basic totm.
  I cannot believe how hard I'm failing at it, it seems so simple.
  I decide to summon Faye to help me out and she promptly appears.
  
  We go to the first house to ask for Trick or Treat and I transform myself into a half gargoyle / half human.
  As the door opens I roar and Faye asks for Trick or Treat.
  
  
  "... you are stupid, we don't do that around here."
  
  He closes the door.
  I'm pissed, why is this not working...
  Faye is on her way to the next house but I call her back.
  I knock on the door rather vigorously.
  
  
  "What do you want? Go away!"
  "Listen up friend... you are going to move your ass to the kitchen and get us some fucking candy."
  
  He looks at me rather offended.
  I show him my half transformed hand and grow long claws out of it.
  He gets scared and runs into the house.
  A few seconds later he comes back with a big bag full of candy and hands it over with his hands shivering.
  
  
  "See, was that so hard?"
  
  He closes the door.
  
  
  "You know... that totally doesn't count."
  "Why not?"
  "This was quite a bit closer to robbery than it was to Trick or Treating."
  
  I shrug it off and decide that I have completed the task.

November 2011
- Go into your school (old or current) and make all your teachers mad
- Visit a place in your favorite book, video game, movie, TV show, etc.

I didn't attempt the basic task but managed to do the advanced on the first try.
I cannot recall where I went for it though, I had rather bad recall on that dream and didn't write it down.


December 2011
- Fly up in the sky and find out where all the snow comes from
- Find Santa and deliver presents with him.

• After become lucid at home, I decide to quickly fly into the sky and complete the basic task.
  I have no plans to complete the advanced one, I just want to do the basic one quickly and then teleport to Teraluna.
  Whilst flying upwards I realize that it isn't actually snowing, which is sort of an issue if I want to see where the snow is coming from.
  But then for some reason I notice that is is actually snowing... heh.
  I don't have to fly very far until the snow turns into rain.
  
  I'm not really sure what I was expecting. A magic machine of sorts perhaps?
  The rain just gradually turns into snow due to the low temperatures.
  I shrink myself down to the size of a rain drop and follow it down.
  It gradually crystallizes, it's quite beautiful.
  
  I'm satisfied and turn back to my normal size in order to teleport...

January 2012
- Set off fireworks in a crowded place and record what happened/how the DCs reacted.
- Go back in time and see yourself at the moment you became lucid.

I only did the basic task during a rather long and interesting lucid which I'll probably post at a later time.
I didn't attempt the advanced one.
