    Lucid Dreams

    1. Driving a car in a lucid

      by , 02-09-2012 at 10:04 PM (Yuppie's Dream Journal)
      I'm in the car with my dad, driving to school, wearing my uniform. We're on the long straight of road, when I realise things look a bit weird. I count my fingers, and become lucid. "You've got to be kidding me..." I say, at first, I guess I was frustrated that I'd got ready, showered, sat in a car, and it turned out to be just a dream. However, I soon realised that this was a good thing, and looked over at dad, who sat there happily, smiling. "What should we do?" I asked, thinking of things, while rubbing my hands together for stabilazation. I realise we were in a car, so I moved onto his side, and I teleported him to my seat, whilst looking away (I thought it'd be easier if I didn't have to SEE him dissapear) I turn back around, to see that he's gone, but for some reason I stare very closely, and he slowly appears into the seat, like little pixels forming. (first succesful teleport! YES)

      I grab the steering wheel tightly, and press down on the accelerator, wary of all the cars. I move into the right lane, and begin overtaking all the cars. I do this for a while, when I realise a BIG green truck is heading towards me. I wonder what to do, waiting for dad to shout at me to turn a certain way. He says nothing, so I swerve left, whilst braking, which results in the car kind of locking up sideways, heading towards the ditch at the side of the road. The truck, is also doing the same thing, and everything just kind of turns into third person view, I wonder what will happen. I wonder if I'll "die" and wake up so I prepare to DEILD. I do wake up, but I decide to jot a few words down so I remember.

      -next dream-

      I'm in a classroom, with people I don't know, and the bell finally rings. The teacher trys to say something like "Remember the spring carnival!' But everyone screams and shouts over him just to annoy him. I look back, he seems frustrated. We all walk out the door, emerging into a somewhat wide hallway filled with students. On my left, is a drink fridge kind of thing, the shelf-like ones that have no door. Everyone is taking them, so I presume they're free. I grab to solo's and walk towards the exit.

      I hear my teacher attempting to say something again, but we all scream, and he seems to stop trying. I throw my solo up in the air, hoping to cause a bit of excitement and stir the students up, and they all laugh, and shout. The teacher that we've been ignoring, comes up next to me, and says something. I turn back, looking for my drink, and grab it. "Half price discount!" He tries to joke, because my drink is now only half full. (I'm not sure what happend to the other one, I think it just dissapeared) I decide to throw it at him, so I shake it up, fall back into the crowd, and throw it at him. Nothing comes out, but it hits him softly in the back, and he turns around, looking a bit depressed that no one seems to like him.

      I walk next to him, and say "Where's your car?" because I'm planning on throwing the drink through his window. He tells me the name and model instead, so I figure I should just follow him and find out. Unfortunately, I see my dad, who looks a bit suspicious, waiting in the car to pick me up. So as the teacher says something about a bodyguard, and I insult him one more time, I walk to my car, and get in. I wake up. -End Dream-

    2. Now, Don't be Childish..

      by , 02-09-2012 at 08:05 PM (Ophelia's Book O' Fun II)
      I was worried about DEILDing this morning in real life when I went back to bed because Danny just got off his night shift, and I've never tried to DEILD with him sleeping in bed next to me. You know, like I was afraid I would have a hard time discerning the difference between waking up for real or a false awakening. I'm also afraid that if I shout "More Lucidity", then real life Danny will hear me lol. But I managed it anyway.

      I fell back to sleep on my side facing away from Danny, and had a non lucid dream about a really large guy with black hair and a mustache and glasses, who grabbed me. I woke up briefly, then fell back to sleep. I felt the WILD vibrations creep up behind me (kind of like when I feel Demon Danny climb on my back), but since I was on my side, I felt him creep up behind me and grab me and hold me really tight. I could even feel his hands lock around my stomach, and his thumb moved over mine in an attempt to hold my hands, almost romantically. I held his hands and looked behind me to make sure it was a dream and not Danny in real life. Nope, it was the guy from the previous dream, though he had shrunk down some. He still looked like the guy, but he was more Danny-sized now. So I turned to face him and then rolled on top of him. I put my hand on his face and tried to lean in for a kiss and the bastard bit me! Just like in the other one, he started to lose his control over his human form, and in defense I guess, he bit down on my hand and wouldn't let go. So I did like I do with my dogs, "No biting,... NOOO BIIITING, easy, easy, be niiiiice, no biting." And I was able to get my hand out. I then wanted to do like I had discussed with Alyzarin, and I got up to go check my refection in the bathroom mirror. But as soon as I got out of bed, and tried to turn toward the bathroom, the dream faded and I woke up.

      But only briefly; I fell back to sleep immediately, and like the previous dream, I felt the creature creep up behind me and hold me tightly again. (I guess he just wants to spoon lol). I tried to just, grab his stuff and have him do me from behind, but his form was starting to morph or something. I knew I had to work quickly, so spun around and flipped him over and got on top, and pulled his pants down. But as soon as I managed to get his junk in the right place, it melted away. I was able to will it back, but then the dream started to fade again. So I shouted More Lucidity which helped a little, then I looked over my hand, turned it around a bit, and that locked things in place for a bit. I looked back down at the creature, and now he was Demon Danny (I knew it all along). I was able to get partial penetration, but then he started to shrivel down in size. So not fuckable (my lucid sexual partners tend to shrink and shrivel or suddenly). So I put my hands on his stomach and moved them outward while saying "GROW". He grew back to about 95% of his original size, good enough. That was my first attempt, and success, of willing a shrunken DC to grow back in size. I got on top of him, again, and his junk melted, again, then I woke up.

      BALLS, I should have gone to the bathroom mirror. I also should have just said fuck it, flipped him over on his belly and whipped out MY junk. My lucid cock never fails me. The fucker bites me again, that's EXACTLY what's going to happen.

      Still, yay lucids!

    3. Back In The Jungle, Strange Decisions

      by , 02-09-2012 at 06:27 PM
      Woo! I had my best lucid yet. It was first one I ever had where I wasn't even bummed when it ended because I was satisfied by it lol. Unfortunately my memory of everything else from the night (and I know there was a lot) is totally gone, it picks up exactly where I started stabilizing. :/ Oh well, worth it!

      #1 - Back In The Jungle

      So, I'm back in the jungle/forest area. I vaguely remember becoming lucid and I'm pretty sure it was like it always has been for me lately, it just kind of happens without me going through a realization process and I feel like I just already knew it from that point on. I notice that the dream is starting to fade, so I start rubbing my hands together and continue to do so as I walk around and closely inspect the environment. And it worked! I was next to a little shack that couldn't possibly have held any more than bathrooms and had some cement floor with a wood covering extending out maybe ten or fifteen feet from it. Around that, it was all very foresty area, except for through some trees I could see down a hill and there were kids playing on a playground off in the distance. At first I just sat down in the grass I looked at the dirt and the grass and touched them to see how real it felt. It was all incredibly vivid, and I could've spent the entire dream looking at the ground. I thought about staring up at the sky but I noticed out of the corner of my eye that it was somewhat oddly textured and tinted and I had a creeping feeling that if I did the dream would end, so I decided against it. The foliage was so beautiful that it was hard to convince myself to actually do something, but eventually I got up and walked over to a VHS tape box that was left on the cement area. It looked like a mix between Star Wars and Spaceballs, and the text on it was vanishing as I was reading it but I managed to pick up on the fact that it was all nonsense. I saw a water bottle on the ground so I went and picked it up and took a drink - delicious. Afterward I spit on the ground because I had a lot of moisture in my mouth, then marveled at the fact that the dream was so vivid that I actually felt the need to spit. I wanted to go walking through the forest but didn't want to have to carry the water bottle. At first I was like but then, I realized I was in a lucid dream. I stuck the water bottle behind me where I couldn't see it and said "Put water away!" and dropped it. I could feel a weight behind me like it was still in my essence, but had physically disappeared. I walked for a minute then reached back and said "Grab water!" and clenched my hand to feel the water bottle suddenly there. I chuckled to myself, took a sip, and then put it away again. As I was walking into a deeper and darker area of trees, I saw a school bus drive out but didn't pay much attention to it, I was still amazed at all the plants. Suddenly, after a turn the area had turned into what looked like the back of a small store. Also, during the transition at the end of the trees I'm pretty sure I saw Erii's avatar come to life with all three cat heads staring intently at me. In the store area I laughed to myself some more because there were people moving around cardboard boxes and the boxes all had more nonsense written on them. After that, my vision quickly faded to white and I could tell the dream was ending, but I didn't really mind, I had my fun.

      #2 - Strange Decisions

      I was playing an online game and watching a new Pokémon movie in the den, a strange room of the house for me to be doing this in, but my dad kept distracting me so I moved it into his office, an even stranger room for me to be doing it in. That's it for that one.

    4. 09/02/12 - Car LD and being a robber

      by , 02-09-2012 at 12:47 PM (Nom nom nom, Mmmattelicious...)
      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Good morning! Had a long night's sleep which I really needed. Got lucid early on but don't recall very much of it.

      22.00: Sleep

      10.00: Car DILD
      I'm running down a narrow road that slithers up along a hill. I suddenly realise I'm dreaming and keep on running, but the dream fades quickly. I lie still and try to imagine myself being inside of a car. It takes a while, but after a few minutes I can see the interior of the car. I feel the dashboard, the steering wheel and focus my senses on what is around me. Some guy is outside of my window and he's pouring motor oil into a weird tank which is smoking. Apparently this car is extremely fast. I step on the gas and listen to it roar.

      10.00: Robber
      I'm with some guy I don't know in a car. We stop at a restaurant and get out. We enter the restaurant and the guy I'm with threatens to shoot the clerk unless he hands us all his money. We grab it and get out of there. This is repeated a few times over, the last one being a Chinese restaurant. The chef offers me a glass of water. 'This feels so wrong...' Once in the car, I ask my partner. "Hey, isn't it enough? The cops will probably show up anytime now." "Nah man, we just keep moving" he says and makes a sharp right.

      He parks the car infront of a garage and we both get out. I pull my hat down and make a hole for the right eye, I don't want to be recognised. A big bed sheet is draped over the car to hide its white and yellow flowery pattern. I realise my computer is still in the car. "You have to choose one of them" the guy tells me. I pick out all the cables and the PC. I try to find a place to hide them inside the garage, which turns into a house all of a sudden. I put the things on top shelves and pray that my mom won't find them.


      10.00: Wake up

      Amount of sleep: 12 hours

      Supplements: None


      That's it! Will be back on Sunday, going away for a few days.

      Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

I then run from the drive into the garage i recall getting short of breath in the dream realitivly quickly. i was just trying to get back to my room so i could test my dream more, i remember thinking i have to get there quick before something happens. I open the door to get in the house and joe kenny and grandpa are in my way of getting inside. they are arguing ken says he doesnot want grandpa to drive him back to school because he has been drinking, joe says soemthing like you haver to go with him he is your grandpa. kenny is still mad and grandpas doesnt say aything. at this point i see the dream start to dematerialize right before my eyes and know that i am screwed i then wake up.

      3. (5-7 min) I woke up lucid, feeling the blakets being pulled up over my face. I was able to see thorugh them or they were pulled back down I dont know for sure. There was a light on in my room, by the computer. I began to feel my body fall in a deeper sleep. I decided to fly over to the middle of my room infornt of my bed. I did and it was quite fast. For some reason I was really dizzy, I kept falling one way and grabbing a wall and then the other. I was looking at the dream room and the visuals and was thinking this dream was not as real as others and was not as good overall in feel. I was still bouncing off the walls and i decided to rub my hands together. It didnt feel like i thought it was going to feel it felt more real but extremely weak of a feel for how much forced i used it was like my hands were slightly numb. I was thinking on how my brain was not generating the best dream world this time but continued on anyways. at some point durning bouncing of the walls the stairs were going down instead of up. I later walked over to were my computer was expcet there was door way now to another small room. and the curtains were now a concrete wall, i went in this room and it was grandpa berkes secret room like at is house but bigger, there was a desk in here and not much else. on the desk was a pic of grandma berke. i was thinking somehting here but cannot remmeber what it was. this room kind of reminds of the secret room in the basement of the home in silent hill 5. I go back into my room and see the mirror on the wall by my guitars, i say yeah ive got to look in here. While i start looking the mirror moves over to the computer now contrertte wall. at first glance i was close to hit with my head slightly tilted. my refelection was pretty authentic just a little miss shaped but not much. I then step back and keep looking in the mirror. my face seems to keep changing, still with the long hair and beard, but i guess you could say different face types, and diff types of hair, same color though. THis changed abnout 10 times in the 12 or seconds i looked at it. I remember some of the faces came right as i thought of one because of what the previous one made me think. I then looked back at room and choose to go upstairs there was some noise or something going on up there. I decided to teleport upstairs. I didnt think of where but just did it. I thought i am going upstaris now and snapped my fingers and i was there. I ended up in grandmas room in the little hallway in between the bath/makeup room and bed room. There was some noise like an alarm going off somewhere on grandmas make up table going off. i thought i should trun it off so i wouldnt wake up. I went over there and there was a mess of all kind of stuff. I lookd above and bleow though the shit, and found on top of the table under some stuff and shut it off. I then leave the part of the room and head towards the door. Now I see a digital clock in front, grandmas clock, I get excited to see what it does. I knew the real time was about 245-300pm and kind of was consious of it threw this dream. anyways the clock said it was 12:56pm I knew that wasnt the time and i didnt have much time to keep dreaming. it then changed to 120pm and then 118pm 1245pm 130pm, the numbers are approx. It was changing about every sec or 2. there were probably 12 diff times it told me throught this.and did this for 13 secs. I tryed to change the time to the right time with my thoughts but was unsucessful. I closed my eyes and open them hoping it would tell the right time but began to feel tried and knew i shouldnt have closed my eyes. I decide to try and make someone appear in the doorway but the wrong person came thorugh. it was grandma and i am know she didnt appear she was coming to room the whole time i was in there, i knew that all along so i failed to make someone appear, i can begin to feel myself waking up and know i have tyo do somthing. I try teleporting back to my room, but cant i leave grandmas room and go out in the hallway. bill comes out of joes room wearing a winter coat and such and heads downstairs i ignore him, i am just trying to stay asleep stay in the dream. I try spinning around as fast as i can to stablize the dream. i see everything spinning as you normally would and hear it, but i dont feel i am spinning at all. i stop thinking something might have changed in the hallway. nothing everything is still the same. I didnt fell dizzy i didnt feel anything. I try to rub my hands toeghter, again nothing no feeling nothing changes. I think ill just walk down to my room then. i go down the stairs and am really feeling tried now when i get to the bottom i collapse from being exhausted i sit lean my back against the front door. someone says look at the new dog sone so got. I know there was name said of who got the dog , i dont remember though. The dog come hops on my lap i pick it up and it looks like ginger but somehow a different. I then lose it and wake up.

    8. Uncontrollable Fury (February 8, 2012)

      by , 02-09-2012 at 01:54 AM (Chronicles of Ethos)
      DreamLucidAwake

      Uncontrollable Fury

      I don't really remember the beginning of this dream. I do remember seeing a man standing inside a pond with a baby. Something about it didn't seem right, so I started walking over to the pond. I then saw him hold the baby under the water trying to drown it. I ran into the pond as fast as I could and punched the guy in the face. I brought the baby back to the surface and somehow got it to breathe again.

      "What the hell were you trying to do???" I asked the man.
      "That is the child of the enemy. He should be killed!" The man said.
      "That's not his fault!" I exclaimed
      "He'll grow up to be a monster. Give him to me." He demanded.
      "No." I told him.

      He was about to take the baby from me by force, but I just punched him in the face again. I kind of knocked him out and left him floating on the water. I walked over to a house and left the child on a rocking chair. I then heard the sound of an animal crying in pain followed by laughter. That combination did not sound one bit right. I followed the sounds to back of the house. On the other side of the house I saw 3 men surrounding a dog. The dog was covered in cuts and bruises and it looked like it hadn't eaten in days. Two of the men were holding down the dog and beating it while the other guy was taking pictures of them.

      It completely sickened me to watch this and my anger started rising quickly.
      I somehow becaame lucid at this moment and decided I would go over there and beat some sense into those guys. Before I could even take my first step towards them the dog they were beating had died. They kicked it a few more times before tossing it to the side. I then saw them bring my dog out of the house and hold him down. One of them pulled out a pair of scissors and started cutting my dog's nose up. This pushed my anger far beyond its limits.

      I transformed into a dragon and started growling. I actually found this scary because I completely stopped acting human. When the man was about to stick the scissors in my dog's eye I let out my most powerful draconic roar. It knocked them all to the ground and used time control to close the distance before they could get back up. The one with the camera did man age to get back up though and he attempted to run into the woods. He only made a few steps before I stabbed my claws right into his back. I used my earth element to smash him into the ground with as much force as powerful. I then started biting and clawing at him.

      As I was doing this, the man with the scissors tried to sneak up from behind me and stab me. I saw this coming with my danger sense though and cut the man's stomach with my tail blade. When I turned to face him he tried to stab me again. I shoved my claws straight through his arm and he dropped his scissors in pain. I forced him to the ground with my claws still in his arm. I then started biting and pulling at his arm until it was completely ripped off. I finished him off by slashing my claws through his throat.

      The last man pulled out a hand gun and shot me in the side. It knocked me to the ground and hurt like hell, but I didn't care at all. I got right back up and slowly started walking towards him. He tried firing another shot, but this time a purple spark appeared a few inches in front of me. The bullet seemed to have bounced off of this energy. He tried firing a few more shots at me, but the same thing happened whenever a bullet got near. I soon cornered the man against the house and started growling again. He stumbled to the ground and I pierced his chest with my claws to be sure he wouldn't crawl away. I then looked directly into his eyes and released a red energy (fear) into his mind. He started screaming in fear until he passed out a few seconds later. I ended it when I jumped up into the air and smashed his head with a tail strike.

      I was now in some sort of killing frenzy. I was looking all around me for anything to kill. I started roaring and took out many trees with my draconic roar. It wasn't until I saw my dog lying on the ground in pain that I finally calmed down. I came back into control of myself and undid my dragon form. I walked over to my dog and used my healing magic on him before waking up.


      When I woke up, I still had much anger inside me. So much in fact, that I had to punch my wall. My hand still hurts...

      Woke up, looked around. It seemed normal, but my alarm clock said "Donkey", so I did an RC. Yup, dream.

      I thought about what I wanted to do now... oh yeah, ToTY. I tried to remember the next one, and it took a few minutes to remember the TV thing. Traveling back to 1925, I raced for.... okay, why the hell is there a brontosaurus? Must have gone too far back.

      Went to 1925, correctly this time, and sensed for a TV I could watch. I found one a little ways to the west. I didn't bother knocking on the door, just walked in. There wasn't anyone there, guess I got lucky. I walked over to the TV and flipped it on. There were a few images flipping across the screen, a guy, a lady, a few logos, a dragon, a car... wait a dragon? It ran on a loop, and yes there was a dragon. Odd, but I guess such is the nature of dreams. I needed to wake up; my goal is to be the second person to complete these things, and I needed to be quick.

    11. Old Fashioned Televisions, Big Bands, and the TotY

      by , 02-08-2012 at 04:13 AM (Burke's Nightly Escapades)
      I was sitting on my bed in my room and it was dark outside yet light in my room. I got up and walked out the door into the bathroom. I looked at the clock and it said that it was 6:30AM, right on time that I normally wake up. I turned on the shower and brushed my teeth while waiting for the water to heat up. Once it was warm I got in and went through my usual shower, nothing out of the ordinary. I got out of the shower and when I stepped on the ground I slipped and hit my head right on the ground. I had forgotten to put the mat down . My head didn't hurt at all and I got right up as if nothing had happened. I continued on with my morning as usual. I walked down the stairs and it led right into the gym locker room at out school

      I walked outside the locker room into the gym where my classmates were playing this game called jugball. It's a game in which you have to get a tennis ball to your "goalie" on the opposite side of the gym using milk jugs with the bottom cut off (you can't run). Anyway, when I had walked out I grabbed a jug and got right into the action. I casually walked down to the end of the gym and saw two of my friends just standing there, not doing anything. "Hey guys, having fun?" I asked in a casual, sarcastic way. "Tons," they replied, equally as sarcastic. I turned around to look at the other side of the gym where the ball had gone and saw one of the more sports-oriented kids down there getting the ball. I turned around, looked at me and chucked it as hard as he could
      (this part actually happened a few days ago)

      The ball flew at me and I quickly moved my hand over my stomach to stop the ball and actually ended up catching it!
      (This happened too only it just bounced off my hand, I didn't catch it ) For some reason, this made me start to question whether or not I was awake. I looked around more carefully and didn't see anything wrong with the dream. All my friends looked normal and there were no irregularities. I looked down at my hands and noticed nothing was wrong with them, all 10 fingers and no differences. "Hey, Burke, pass it over here!" One of my friends yelled. I tossed it over and proceeded to do a nose-plug RC. To my surprise, It worked! I was lucid! Quite an interesting way to get lucid .

      I hadn't had a lucid in a while so I didn't want to waste this one. I thought of what to do and decided I would do the TotY. The first one that came to mind was the first television broadcast so I imagined a room back in the ealy 1900s and a small T.V. sitting in the corner. I snapped my fingers and I was brought to a small room where everything was in black and white, except me. The room was completely empty, no doors or anything except for one small end table with a modern-day t.v. on it, only it as really small about 6 inches across. I walked over to it (the room was only like 10' by 10') and there was one knob on the side. I turned it towards the part that said "on" and waited for something to happen.

      I stared at the screen and could see a very static-y screen like when you don't have a signal. I waited for about 10 seconds for something to happen and after nothing did, I looked around the t.v. for an answer to my problems. Coming out of the back of the t.v. was a power cord but it only had one prong, similar to an auxiliary cable. I looked around the room again and tried to find an outlet but there was nothing to be seen. I figured I could just summon one so I turned around and thought to myself, "when I turn around, there will be an outlet for this thing right behind it." When I turned around there was indeed an outlet, but it was a modern day, 3-pronged one. This wouldn't work but I figured I might as well try. I stuck the jack into the round hole where the 3rd prong would normall go.

      It fit right in and there a couple sparks but no flames or anything. I looked at the t.v. screen and it was now a faint blue, almost gray, color. I reached behind the t.v. expecting there to be a remote and there was! Man, I'm really getting the hang of summoning stuff . The remote only had a few buttons: power, channel, and menu. I clicked the channel one and saw the screen change to a faint green and a small number appeared in the corner saying "02." It makes sense since the first one would've been one, and this one was two. I continued to flip through the channels but there was nothing broadcasting, only various colors, some brighter than others while a few were so faded they almost were just a shade.

      Around channel 8 when the t.v. had turned to a faint red, almost pink, color I noticed that the room had changed color too, the same color as the screen. I turned it back to 7, which was a deep purple, and the room changed accordingly. Getting a little frustrated I just yelled at the t.v. "Just show me a damn show!" I waited a second and after a brief moment the screen started to flicker. On the screen a group of people started to form with what looked like big blocks of wood in from of them. After another few seconds I saw that is was a band! A stereotypical big band from the 1920s and 1930s. There was about 20 of them in total and on the front of their music stands I saw a circle with some sort of letters around it and a clarinet lilted to the side in the middle.

      The entire broadcast was in black and white and thus the room changed accordingly. The conductor up in from raised his hands and all the musicians raised their instruments. I started to waive his hands and all the players took a big breath. I could tell they were playing some sort of music but, this being the first t.v, there was no sound. What's the point of a concer on t.v. if there's no sound? I was a little disappointed and wanted to hear what they were saying so I decided to try something new. I walked up to the t.v. and kicked it with my left foot. As I had expected, my leg went right through the screen but it didn't break it, my leg actually went through the screen and into the scene that had been filmed. I squeezed the wrest of my body through and ended up in some sort of concert hall with a large dance floor and tables surrounding it.

      Once there I could hear some music and it seemed very familiar. I looked around and could see a lot of people in the room, some dancing, talking, and others just sitting at the tables eating some food. I walked over to one of them and asked what song this was. They responded in a stereotypical New Yorker accent which I found rather humorous saying, "Eh? Oh yeah, thems guys. They's the Glen Miller Band or sometin' with this new fangled doo-hickey called 'jazz.' It's not too bad. I actually like it, personally and it seems like a lot of others do to. So, whad'ya say? You wanna dance or somethin'?" Wow, he had a really heavy accent but it amused me nonetheless. "No, that's not what I asked. What is the name of this song?" I asked him again. "The song? Uh... I ain't got a clue, but that Firo ova there, he knows what new and fancy and whatnot." He pointed to a younger person, probably about 16 with a brown suit and tan fedora on. "Thanks." I told him.

      I walked over to this kid and tapped him on the shoulder. He immediately spun around and tried to hit me in the face! I quickly ducked down to avoid it. "What the hell'd ya do that for!?" I yelled at him. "You're pretty quick." he said, "I don't see many people with moves like that. What's ya name?" He had a slightly less pronounced accent but it was still noticible. "I'm Burke," I told him. "This man over there said that this guy named Firo knew what this song was called. Is that you? Do you know?" I asked him. "Yea, I'm him, and this song here these guys is playin's called 'In the Mood' or somethin'. It's not bad, I like it." He told me. Ah-ha! That's what it was! We had played this in our local jazz bad a couple years ago. It's actually a pretty good song.

      "Now, since I did somethin' for you, you gotta do somethin' for me." He said suddenly. "What's that you want?" I asked him. He smirked and brought his fist back as if he was about to punch something. "Ye see, I'm kinda a jerk, so I just want one thing. I want you... to wake up!" He quickly brought his fist forward and it slammed right into my face. It pushed me back a few feet and I could feel the dream start to fade, but it didn't immediately wake me up. The dream was very unstable though so I quickly rubbed my hands together and focused on my surroundings. The band had changed songs! I dind't recognize this new song but I wasn't really very curious. "Ya quite the sturdy one," He told me, "But I ain't never not woken someone up before when I say I'm gonna!" In an instant,
      I was lying in my bed, eyes open, completely awake. Damn. Did he really wake me up or was it just time for the dream to end?

      Oh well, I got part of the TotY done and had a dream which had quite a few real-life elements in it. A "sport" we played in gym class, music by a band I knew, and a character from an anime I had recently watched (Firo from Baccano!). Not a bad dream
    12. Teacher Flying In a War and a Dream Fragment

      by , 02-08-2012 at 01:30 AM
      I tried a new way of remembering my dreams, and it proved affective.

      Dream One Non-Lucid
      I entered the dream on a battleship with helicopters and airplanes scattered everywhere. Ms. Simpson, my reading teacher, hopped into a helicopter, and told us to throw caramel candies at her to make her crash. We followed her orders, even though I couldn't see anyone but me, and eventually got her down. I watched the debris go down, and when I saw it finally land, she jumped out of helicopter. Next thing I know, I am on an AA gun that shoots out caramels. There were planes everywhere. They were flying over a dark blue sea. Every time I shot one down, I would get 100 points. The fight eventually calmed down, but another one happened and this time they got closer to the base we were at. An enemy on a boat got so close I had to shoot the person to kill him! When all was done, Ms. Simpson got into an airplane this time. She said, ""You need to upgrade your equipment if you are to shoot down more planes. This time, we are going to be using guns to shoot me down!"" Everone gasped and was all like, "REAL GUNS?!" I then woke up.

      Dream Two Lucid
      I don't remember how I became lucid, or where I was. I just knew that I was lucid. I said to myself "Yes! The first time I actually have a lucid dream where I don't wake up!". The one bad this was, I didn't know where to start in my journeys. A couple of seconds later, I remembered seeing a forum about flying on DreamViews, and so I tried it. I jumped up in the air, ignoring what the forum said. I was thinking that I COULD fly, but fell right back to the ground as if I just jumped. I tried it again, this time a way they said on the forum, and it failed again. That was the last thing I remember before I woke up, not even getting a glimpse of flight.

      Dream Fragment One
      Not too much to say, I was playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. I only remember the game mode I was playing, which was Search and Destroy.
    13. Task Of The Year Attempt #2

      by , 02-08-2012 at 12:52 AM (Ezpata's World)
      I don't normally dream twice in one night, but doing the ToTY demanded I do it. Next was the Titanic.

      Looking around, realized I have no idea what I'm doing in the middle of a desert, do an RC. Remembered I had to work on ToTY.

      Traveled back to 1912, in front of the docks where the Titanic would be shipping off. I didn't feel like fighting just yet, so I conjured a ticket to fool the sailors. A nice relaxing boat ride ending in tragedy would be just what I needed for some R&R.

      Using time dilation, I managed to keep myself there for the full five days. The first two days, I didn't do too much. I played some chess, wined and dined with a few uppercrust socialites, and spent some lazy time up on deck.

      The third day was pretty interesting, got into a few fights when drunk sailors decided I looked like I could be picked on. Didn't feel like causing too much trouble, so I beat the shit out of them and tossed them overboard while no one was looking.

      The fourth day I spent mostly in my cabin (I had thrown someone overboard one the first day so I'd have a place to chill). Let's just say I may have a few more children. And that women will be really experimental on a boat.

      The fifth day. The day of the wreck. I waited for what seemed like hours until night fell. I had told a few people that we were going to hit an iceberg, but no one believed me. The ones who called me a fool met with... unfortunate accidents. I finally saw the iceberg ahead, and watched as the giant ship lumbered toward its fate. People were freaking out, screaming and shouting. It was rather annoying. I decided I'd experience this from the ship, so I pulled up a deck chair and sat while it all happened around me. People were shouting at me now, wondering why I wouldn't leave. "I'm here to watch this historic moment. Besides, if I didn't, I would fail at my attempt for the Task of the Year, wouldn't I?" They didn't know what I was saying of course, but it felt good to say it. When the ship hit the iceberg, all hell broke loose. The details are sketchy, even to me, so I won't try to recant most of them. but the ship went down like everyone thinks it did. I gave one last look out to all the people in lifeboats. "What a bunch of pansies." I thought. I sank with the ship, and floated for a few minutes before deciding it was time to wake up.
    14. Task Of The Year Attempt #1

      by , 02-08-2012 at 12:08 AM (Ezpata's World)
      Looking around, see that the sky is purple, decide this is a dream. I'm right, of course. I figure I should try doing the Task Of The Year, I skipped over it last year.

      To add a little challenge, I'd try to do them all in chronological order. The first one was The Brownie Camera thing, If I'm not wrong.

      Travel to the year 1900. Head to Boston because... why not? I look around for a Brownie Camera. I land in the middle of the street, and ask some guy where I can find a Brownie Camera. "That guy looks like he's got one." I look where he's pointing, and there was a guy with what looked like a box with a tube sticking out of it. I don't know if that's what the Brownie Camera really looked like, but the description never said it had to look like the actual Brownie. I walked up and took it from the guy, something he didn't really appreciate. "Hey! I just bought that!" "Your point being?" "You can't just walk up and steal something from somebody!" "Well I just did it." I put the camera back in his hands, and took it again. "And I just did it again, what are you going to do?" He got mad, and tried to attack me. I threw the camera into the air, ripped the man's eyes out and shoved them down his throat. I caught the camera as it came back down. I decided to document my awesome achievement, and took the photo with the camera. The picture was developed a little while later. It was grainy, and really hard to see what was in it. I traveled back to the present time, and went to my house in the woods. I framed the picture, and set it out in the living room. Drunken debauchery was next on the list, but I do that every night, no reason to journal it.
    15. The Jurassic Park Induced Lucid...

      by , 02-07-2012 at 07:52 AM (My brain and I)
      dream : comments : lucid
      7th of February, 2012

      Another big one! Sorry they're so long- I just have to include everything for myself.

      I took a Galantamind pill at 8:30am and tried to get back to sleep but failed miserably.
      I went and lay on the couch and watched a bit of Jurassic Park and kept trying to doze off but the TV was keeping me awake and my brother kept disturbing me.




      Then I had a false awakening where I looked at a clock and it spontaneously occurred to me I was dreaming. I went into the hallway and heard noises from a nearby room. It was dark inside so I tried to turn a light on which obviously didn't work. "Duh!" I thought and casually left.

      At that point I found myself in a backyard and jumped onto the roof and was touching everything. The clothesline was higher than the roof which I thought was a pretty cool thing to randomly think up. I tried to fly a bit but couldn’t really control myself and landed in the back yard where I was rolling around with Nooks in clean clothes like a little kid.
      I could still hear the TV playing so I yelled to increase lucidity and Nooks said “okay! SHUT UP!” and woke me up.


      I attempted a DEILD while focussing on running and
      materialised outside a small block of apartment buildings surrounded by grass and trees. I was running still and realised that I needed to settle down and just sit and focus on relaxing for future endeavours, even if it did mean wasting this dream.

      I went looking for a nice place to sit but everywhere was a bit too... urban.

      I eventually settled on a little patch of grass near a tennis court. So I sat on down and just looked around at the sky and the dirt and my hands and the trees and the grass and the clouds and really focussed on my senses.
      Nooks, Courtney and Byron joined me and I began to feel myself swallowing in real life so I dove into the ground but rolled around in blackness and came back to the same spot. Didn’t wake up though, so I suppose it worked. I sat for a bit longer then dove again into the ground.

      SPLASH! I emerged from water in a bath with Nooks. Who had a Captain Planet mullet haircut. We had sexy bath times and then she started drowning and I was like “OH! I could have sex with her while she’s dead!” Then I realised that was really creepy and picked her up and took her into a bedroom instead. On our way, Jono came out with exactly the same haircut and I laughed.

      So I sat on the bed and thought I could still hear the TV invading my dreams and watched as the wall glowed in time with the sounds. I noticed that there were little green glowing arrows on the walls as well, but still got bored pretty quickly and went out a window onto a deck.
      It was night time and the decks were all interconnected. I had to ninja myself in and out of windows and over railings to get outside. While I was doing it, I was dictating out loud how I’d write it on DreamViews but I forgot on waking up.
      Outside, my vision was a bit blurry so I commanded lucidity and it helped. After some insignificant stuff it was day time and a bunch of cloaked people were around. We were standing on a huge raised platform made of dark redwood. There were benches and small doors around that I didn’t explore too fully. The people started getting restless so I thought I’d show them who’s boss and I Fus Ro Dah’d* a bunch of them.

      It was really funny and ineffective, like my brain couldn’t make it work so instead they just pretended it worked and jumped back making “ooh” noises. I got irked and made one guy fly up to the roof and attempted to make a fireball which sort of worked.
      After that, the Imperial March started playing and I felt tough so naturally they followed me.
      I went to a ledge and wanted adventure so I looked out over quite a serene bay. I saw an island and said “let’s go!” and flew to it.
      I landed at a little boat which quickly turned into a buoy which I sailed to the island.
      There, three identically dressed men were lying on top of each other in the sand. Wanting to just see what my dream could do, I pleasantly asked what they were up to. They replied they were trying to fix a telephone cable but had no mobile reception.

      “No worries!”
      I said I could help and lo and behold there was suddenly a giant pole on the island stretching upwards but all bendy. They began attaching bags to it for whatever reason and suddenly there was a highway over the island.
      Mitchell and Jono were now there smoking weed. He offered me and Nooks some and I said sure but it didn’t eventuate.

      “Wanna come over for breakfast?” Mitchell asked.

      “Nah thanks. I don’t need food here.”

      “Breakfast in bed then?” He continued.


      I smiled. “I am in bed!!”

      We walked about for a minute or two longer and then I moved my leg which
      woke me up in real life 15 seconds before my alarm went off.
      Which was weird, because in an earlier dream which I now forget I’d said “PHONE!” just before Nooks’ alarm went off as well.



      Oh. And by the way. I never went and watched Jurassic Park. That was all total false awakening.

      It’s a bit annoying in a way because due to that, the rest of the dreams seemed a bit light, like I was trying hard not to wake up. I realised later that if I’d just let myself wake, I would have in fact been in a far more stable dream instead.

      I do also hope I'm not becoming reliant on galantime to become lucid, though it does have a really good induction rate! I imagine if anything it's just helping me recognise signs... Hopefully.



      *one of my lucid goals. Skyrim is awesome.
