lucid

Im laying in bed as I was when I was awake a few seconds ago. My uncle comes in my room and sits on the chair he begins telling me about his story from the evening before. I stand from bed and walk to the bottom edge of it. As we're talking I turn my head and look outside. I see the view out the window shift very quickly up then down kinda like tr bulding is falling but smoothly and I float up into the air and I hear water. I FEEL density, not like in a dream but real life. In the moment that I'm floating up I realize this is way to real and unreal at the same time I must be dreaming!!! I get to excited I'm not sure if this is a dream or real life but judging by the realness and density I assume it's a lucid. After what seems like 3 or 4 seconds I feel it fading and I am in bed again right as I was before my uncle came in the room. I don't move. I'm very excited that I felt lucid for a few seconds and I Allow myself to fully return and get up from bed. It was like nothing I ever felt because so much happened in those few seconds.

1st dream, 03.49 am.

I was dreaming so i figured i'd just see where the dream would take me. It took me into the 1986 my little pony film!! I watched as mama licketisplit saved baby sweetie belle from the smooze. And i figured this had to be a cut scene as i didn't remember ever seeing it. Lost lucidity at this point and mama licketisplit was a unicorn and saved baby sweetize belle from falling over the smooze waterfall.

2nd dream and 3rd dream, 06.13 am.

I'm not 100% sure i had 2 seperate dreams, or if i sreamed about a WILD or if I had a real One. Point is, i went lucid.

I'm in a computer room with Agnes and her (ex IRL) boyfriend. He's gaming, playing zelda on pc. Something about the creatures being real.

I'm in my bed again, i can see the color swirls that usually precede hypnogogic hallucinations and unlike usually, i'm apparently far gone already, as i can feel my body being paralized. I panic, try to call for help but nothing happens. I calm down. Apparently there's nothing i can do, so I just brace myself for the ride. Apparently I'm having a WILD.

Let the hallucinations come over me, now recognising them for what they are and knowing what they lead to, check my hand when i woke up and my right hand has toes for fingers. 6 of them XD so i clap to myself a few times to channel the initial excitement.

I walk out my bedroom door where my friend Nicole is, and apparently we have a dog too. And we're on ground level rather than first, where my appartment is IRL. ..i was actually wishing for someone else but he, again, did not appear.

I tell them i'm dreaming, but they just ignore me. I touch the window and it just gives way, as if it was ice rather than glass. I call for their attention and push my whole finger through. They're still ignoring it, so I pull a trail down with my finger through the glass.

We go outside outside with another friend (pedro) and Pablo, bartender at my favourite pub and apparently Nicole's boyfriend. As we're walking, i tell Pablo to remind me that I'm actually dreaming so I don't lose my lucidity. We walk past a dog that's barking violently, i tell myself that this is a dream and i can do anything. So I look intensely at the dog and say "sit" calmly but firmly. It sits down, looking up at me in confusion.

Now, things from the previous dream seep in and Nicole turns out to be an animal morph, needing to be rescued from one of the Zelda creatures and there's a lamb and the whole dream gets unstable and i try to teleport Nicole out of there to save her, but I wake up.

Finally I did a WILD, although not intentionally. I enter the hallucinations phase fairly often, but as they're so terrifying I usually do everything I can to wake up from them. Of course, that was before I learned they're the road to a lucid dream! So now, I don't TRY to do a WILD but when it just sort of happens, I'll just let it happen, it wasn't so bad this time.

12/4/11
LUCID video game dream. Shooter, triggers. Large mechs (skeletal design. Exposed structure) are enemies. Gun down with a pistol and machine gun. Components flash when under fire. Break and the mechs compress as the parts reconnect to bridge the gap.

I am a noble son in a fantasy setting. In love with someone my parents (mother) disapproves of. Sit down at a table and mother says put your hand on her lap to all the siblings. Teleportation spell. Spell fails (my fault?). Some family members were teleported and my lover remains.

Food court thing. Talking with Bailey and Robert. Bring up something Robert had told me, but apparently I was supposed to talk to Bailey alone with that later. Talk about previous dream, apparently really loudly. Glance around to other tables.
-Skip-
LUCID I go look at some form of Asian soup and then grab a chocolate cake thing with marshmallows. Delicious...

Last night was an epic night for me. I had several WBTB's, 3 of which were lucid dreams. My lucid powers are limited; I can fly and pass through objects (easy), and have sexual encounters (luckily). I'm a guy, so I did what I could. Female viewers may not want to read.

Criminal: Part 1

I was driving my truck. I came upon two gangsters lying down in the middle of the road fighting one-another. One had a machine gun, the other--I don't know.

They were right in front of me when my dream started, so I ended up running over them. I didn't think that was so bad as they were both bad people and I couldn't really help it--but I thought it might implicate me somehow.

Skip

WBTB

I had low lucidity right away. I remembered a theme of passing through objects from a recent post, and a dream that followed that post. I saw a door and decided to pass through it to be with a woman. I did pass through the door and ended up in an empty room. The floors were filthy and old, and the rest of the room that I could see was also filthy. I decided any woman I would find there would be disgusting and so I decided to leave.

Blackness

WBTB

I was in a nice restaurant. There was a lady with family in a round booth. I wondered if I was dreaming because I wanted the woman and am hesitant to just take her in case I wasn't dreaming. I went ahead and took her hand. I got no resistance from the family.

I took her away and headed towards the bathroom. That was no good, so I turned to my left and there was a real room. I was with a beautiful blonde. I forget exactly what I did with her, but it was pretty nice.

I woke up, and as proscribed, I move around a lot. Nevertheless...

WBTB

I saw a lady with dark, wavy, gelled hair. She was kind of average, and kind of really cute. She was petite. I took her to a room--or we just ended up in one, and I started having my way with her. She was my most successful of the night. First, I felt her relatively small breasts (A full hand-full). I usually don't feel them so memorably, so this was nice. I surprised myself even in my dream. I then penetrated her vaginally and orally. Again, I was surprised at my success.

WBTB

I was with a strawberry blonde woman, again--petite and with wavy, gelled hair. In waking life, I don't have a thing for gelled hair so, IDK?

This was really weird. I wanted to feel her breasts also, and she started to take her shirt off reading my mind, though I told her to take her pants off. She immediately did. She looked horrified. Knowing it was a dream, I continued,

I started looking for her opening. She reached behind her and unscrewed a bed-post. She was going to hit me over the head. I told her she better not and she stopped. I kept trying, but could never find her hole.

I decided to...dangle myself on her face. I did, but I didn't feel it too much.


Criminal: Part 2

I was driving down the road with someone in my truck. He was a police type. I thought that he would notice clues to my involvement in the hit-and-run from the first dream I remember. I tried to act calm, and not give anything away.

We passed a movie scene as it was being shot. There were 2 guys at a dumpster, one giving another a shot from a hypodermic needle found in the dumpster. This was going to transmit a disease to the man receiving the shot.

I recognized the movie that was being shot as one that I had seen in the movies already (?), so I yelled out to the guys to let them know I was in on the whole thing. I wanted to yell out what was playing out, but then I didn't want to give the movie away, so I changed what I wanted to say so I wouldn't give it away to anyone (?), "I hope there isn't a biscuit on that!'

The movie I was think about was Contagion.

As I turned away from that scene in my truck, I saw a bicycle that looked like cheap art made from random pieces of scrap metal that could make a bike, and someone couldn't resist making it into a bike. It had a strange patch of gray hair on top of the handle bars as if it were an old bike (?).

My kids woke me up to go to a school Christmas function at that point.

I've been slacking off on my lucid dreaming lately, so to get back into the swing of things I've decided to actually start using this dream journal instead of letting it sit around collecting metaphorical dust.

My last two lucid dreams:

10/15/11
[Missing the Bus]
Upon coming out of the school and realizing that I have missed the bus, I become lucid and decide to take a little walk down Main Street to see what might come up. It is a beautiful, overcast, rainy afternoon with no one in sight-- just as I like it. I talk to myself to say lucid while I make note of the similarities and differences of Dream Main Street from Real Main Street. Enjoying the peaceful walk, I am a bit dismayed when fear seeps through me from the very air itself and I notice I creepy girl standing ahead of me in the empty street. She is chanting in a sing-song voice, "Twilight! Sunshine! Twilight! Sunshine!" She approaches me and stops a few inches away, still chanting. Clearly, she's psychotic.

I ignore the irrational fear and decide to have a bit of fun. "Hey, take it easy," I tell her soothingly, pulling her into an embrace. "It'll be alright." I see sanity return to her eyes,and I can't help myself: I press a gentle kiss to her lips. When she kisses me back, I push her against the wall of the store we're standing near, and we begin making out. After a few moments, however, she stops me. Apparently I have done something to anger her in the past, and she isn't yet ready to forgive me. In a rage, she nearly forces me to wake up.

*darkness, but I manage to bring the dream back*

It is sunny now, somewhat to my dismay, but despite the sudden scene change I am still lucid. Now I am walking with two companions along a grassy path, somewhere out in the country. The girl is still prevalent in my thoughts... I MUST find her again! Maybe if I hadn't been mooning over some non-existant person, I might have noticed the earth giant before he noticed us.

His huge leafy head slowly rises from the hill where he was sleeping, his mean eyes narrowed right at us. Oh, crap. "Run!" I shout, doing my best not to trip over the unstable ground.

Knowing I can't outrun him, I hide in some dense undergrowth and then sprint into the main forest as soon as the coast is clear.

After I take interest in some strange little paths that stretch through the woods, a narrator begins saying some stuff that I'm not really paying attention to. Once more, I'm having fun just exploring. Then I catch the narrator saying something along the lines of, "But little did she know, she was about to encounter the dreaded Mask People." Wait, what? Mask people? That's when I see them: little hairy creatures dressed in brown robes and creepy masks, each carrying a staff with some kind of animal skull on it. I freeze in my tracks, doing my best not to make any noise, because I have an innate understanding that the Mask People are blind.

I decide to mess with them. I let out a sudden bloodcurding scream, and a few of them are so startled that they fall to their butts on the forest floor. I laugh hysterically at my little prank, until they begin to get aggressive. "Wait, I'm not going to hurt you," I say. "I'm a friend." Somehow appeased, their leader gives me a skull like the ones on their staves. I follow them and eventually meet back up with my companions.

It isn't long before I find that girl again, in some dream city, but she keeps running away from me. As I am searching for her again, I pass by a huge church that has a big electronic sign in which my name is scrolling by in big yellow letters. Maybe she's in there. I open the door and immediately see that this is no ordinary church. A service is taking place in which everyone is wearing some kind of disturbing mask-- not like the mask people, whose masks looked like tikis, but intricate masqurade masks resembling demons and evil creatures. I notice that the preacher, who is not wearing a mask, closely resembles Pan from Pan's Labyrinth.

I'm intrigued, but I ignore all of this when I see the girl in a long procession on the staircase, headed to one of the lower rooms. I leap over the banister and stop her, holding on to her arm. Some of her sanity has left again; she is going off on a crazy rant that I am not really listening to because her eyes are changing color like a kaleidoscope. "Such beautiful eyes..." I think to myself.

*there is a lapse in time, but somewhere along the line the girl has officially started trying to kill me*

I run with my companions up the hill to some beautiful houses. But horror fills us--- we've arrived at HER house. Great.

I confront her again, but suddenly realize that my friends have guns and are going to shoot her. "NOOO!" I yell and pounce on her, knocking us both to the ground. I end up taking all the bullets, which wakes me up.

11/18/11
[Alice in Terrorland]
I am with my mom and my brother to begin with, on a search for Alice Liddell, who is in some sort of trouble. We travel down a staircase into the basement of an old church where we come across a very formidable looking door. My mom tries to open it. "It's locked," she tells me.

Suddenly I "remember" that I have had this dream before. (It was a false memory; I've definitely never dreamed anything like this). "This is the Door Master's door. You need his key to open it. It should be in your pocket," I inform her. Just as she finds the key, the Door Master appears behind us. He is basically a giant key with eyes, arms and legs, who is very alarmed when he sees what we are about to do. "HURRY UP AND OPEN IT," I yell as the Door Master sprints toward us. We go through the door and slam it behind us so he can't follow.

Now we are in a long hallway with hundreds of different doors and passageways. I have been in this sort of place before; if we don't get proper directions, we'll be lost in here for ages. Shaking off my feelings of foreboding, I walk confidently onward, somehow aware of the general direction we should be traveling. After a while, I spot a familiar door. "What ever you do," I warn my companions (who are no longer my mom and brother; they are now an old friend of mine and a cat), "do NOT go through that door. I made that mistake last time." (Yet another false memory.)

All of a sudden, the Door Master is sprinting in front of us, going off to alert someone of our presence. "Wait!" I shout and begin to chase after him. "We need you to help us find Alice!!!" I follow him for a while, but then I spot Alice just as she darts through one of the doors. A strange woman stops us as we approach.

"You'll need to memorize this rhyme before you go any further," she tells us. "It will save your life." She then proceeds to recite a very ominous poem, which I have unfortunately forgotten. Something about "A terrible place called Wonderland." My friend memorizes it quickly, so we enter the house of Alice Liddell.

Her parents are standing in the kitchen when we walk in. "She's in her bedroom," Mrs. Liddell informs us, pointing to the far end of the house. As we head that way, I notice Alice's older sister. She is a tall, beautiful young woman with pale skin and reddish-blond hair, wearing an old-fashioned dress. She smiles at me when we pass.

Just when we reach Alice's bedroom, I "remember" that her sister is insane. Whirling around, I manage to throw up my arm right as she stabs a knife at me. The blade sinks painfully into my arm. Suddenly in a sort of berserker mode, I grab the knife and psychotically stab it into her stomach again and again and again until she falls to the floor, dead. Then, I plunge the knife into her back "for good measure," before taking it and following my friends into the bedroom.

Alice, an 8 or 9 year old girl with black hair and sullen looking eyes, is sitting on her bed, waiting for us. "You're not my friends anymore," she says in the creepy, monotonous voice of someone who is possessed. "You're not my friend and you're not my friend and you're not my friend," she points at each of us as she speaks. That creature has taken her soul, I realize, preparing for the worst. "But you know who IS my friend? HE is!!!!" The closet door bursts open------------

Just as my alarm goes off and wakes me up.

I had just gone back to sleep after waking up to early in the morning, so I guess that helped. Suddenly, I realize that I’m dreaming and I push my finger throw my palm without meeting any resistance.
I remember thinking “cool, now I can do whatever I want” and I start to fly. It was not as I’d imagined it to be. I could feel the wind blowing in my face and all that. I didn’t think it would be so realistic.

After a while I got tired of flying and decided to try something else. Unfortunately I got so stressed trying to come up with something else to do that I woke up. The dream lasted about ten minutes.

Not the most epic dream, but I’m glad to have experienced my first lucid. Hopefully I won’t wake up so rapidly next time.

Pop Quiz
I am in my car and driving down the street that leads to my house. The street has recently been widened, but in the dream it was just a 2 lane road curving through the desert. I come to a place on the road where they are doing some road construction. It looks more like road destruction. The road is really torn up. I follow the detour for a ways and I see the entire road has been torn out, the rest of it is made up of a series of dirt tracks and detours. In the middle of all of these dirt tracks I find the place I am heading. It's a school. I go inside and sit at a desk. It turns out there is a test today that I forgot to study for. Damn… what am I going to do now? It turns out we can use resources, like books and stuff. I have my laptop. I open the computer, which is where my notes are. I am taking the test with the aid of my laptop when it starts raining… inside the classroom! The electronics in the room are all sparking and smoking. I hide my laptop under the desk where it won't get wet. But damn… this means I can't use the computer for the test… I'll flunk for sure. I continue trying to write on wet paper.

Bandits in the Trees
I am in a game of Oblivion, exploring through a forest with thick foliage. I am in sneak mode, making sure no one can see me. I know no one can see me, it's as if I can see the eye icon in my mind… and I see that it is faint, indicating that I am not being seen by anyone. I sneak through the foliage until I spot a couple of bandits in a clearing beside a tent. They are sorting through a couple bags of what I know are stolen goods. I take aim with my bow and an arrow, and I get sneak attack bonus damage on the first of the bandits. Of course now they both attack me. One of them attacks with a bow and arrow, the other comes at me with a sword. I use my shield to block an arrow coming my way and attack the bandit coming at me with a sword. After a short fight I win at which point I throw a few fireballs at the archer, who is still attacking me. Soon he is toast. I collect the loot off of the fallen bandits and search the camp for more loot. I find some gold and other assorted loot. I then continue sneaking through the trees until I find a ladder going up a large tree very close by. I start climbing the ladder into the upper branches of the tree. Someone is calling to me from down below. I look down, and there is a man down there calling to me that I am crazy to be climbing this tree. He says I am a sitting duck up there if one of the bandits spots me. I ignore the warning and continue. I swing along horizontal ladder rungs that are running under one of the horizontal branches, then climb more when that branch turns up. I enter a tree house at the top of that branch, and it is quite a tree house. I start searching through the place, and taking whatever I decide is useful or of value. It is the bandit's hideout, after all, it's ok to be stealing from bandits.

WILD again!

I lift my dream body up, roll down from my bed. I turn into Re-l from Ergo Proxy, but from then I dont remember what I (did) at all....I try to find Vincent.(to exlpore the world of Ergo Proxy)

I am at the backyard checking from my mom(?) if I turned into Re-l. I say

"hey mom did I transform?"
"no.."
I do my tranformstion jutsu again.
"oh! you have transformed!"
"have I? do you see the blue eye shadow around my eyes? "
"yea you have something blue"

I can feel I'm wearing Re-l's white coat and gloves.
my voice was still mine and do voice transformation jutsu. lol my voice is Re-l's/

"Vincent! Vincent! Vincent!"

I go to the parking lot and find Re-l's car. it looks similar to one in Ergo Proxy;it has wheels...and it looks a lot like 1900s British car. it was black. anyway I get in and imagine Iggy coming in. He comes in and we go to find Vincent.

Idk why but I am out of car. I recall the changing scene in dream method in DV; falling back, so I try it, but it doesnt work then I recall other method which is back-flip but this doesnt work either. so I imagine a portal over the field. I find some kind of water? filled puddles. I jump into the puddle and I sink. then I float up. I'm all wet. even my hair. but with my lucid power, I dry it.

I dont know what happens here.

I go to a top of building and I find Vincent and Pino. they were having dinner. I remember Pino's face but I did not see Vince's face. I sit together and laugh for no reason ....I think the whole situation is kinda funny. lol then I wake up

I probably could remember my whole dream, but I'm too tired to try.

On the other hand, it was really fucked up and I woke up gasping (you could say..)

I was being chased by a creature that looked very much like "Bigfoot". We were in a jungle, and I knew there were other bigfoots around too. As I was running, I noticed that I could push the trees down as I ran. This helped me get where(ever) I was going to a lot faster. I had just lost one bigfoot and then one appeared not far in front of me. I tried to hide but he saw me and started running at me.

Instantly, I was fed up and out of options. I knew I was dreaming at this point and I didn't think about what I should do. Instead, my fear and anger took over and started growling. I raised my arms above my head and I grew about triple the size of the beastly foot man. Suddenly I was on top of him, choking him, hold him down.

The next part is disturbing, so I'm going to stop there. Really don't want to think about it anymore.

Side notes: I think I've been more aware throughout my day. I really feel a change in the energy of my dreams. I just feel like I'm becoming more in tune to my dreams, because sometimes (most recently) I feel like I'm playing a role. It's kind of like I know that I'm dreaming, but I'm playing along with the script. I can't say that I've been "lucid" though. I was lucid in the last dream for a moment to know that I could control it, but then I began playing along again.

The things I've been doing differently are listening to binaural beats (gamma and beta) for a while during the day, and my choline intake has increased.

So, I'm very excited for a break from school and looking forward to my dreams over the next month.

It's about time I started a dream journal on here, my LDing has fascinated me since joining DV, I didn't know how cool it could be.. ok so last night, and this wasn't the worlds greatest dream, like I say, i want to start a DJ for my own reading and records as well as sharing them with you. I was in an airport line, it was very light and futuristic, I don't know why it was futuristic it just felt that way, it was strange. I got up to the front desk and the guy was talking to me, I thought .. .wait a minute . .this is a dream so I pinch my nose and I was right. I was asking the guy what he was doing here and he just spoke giberish to me, it was funny, anyway next to me this arogant dude pushed to the front and started yelling, the guy he just nudged out of the way toppled to the ground, so me knowing it is all a dream walked up to this guy and said something like, hey watch this, I whipped my arm the the right as if i was shooting something out if it, that was the intention lol, nothing happened and he got mad at me, I did it a second time and the huge windows smashed, I then picked him up like he was nothing and (this is funny too) bent him in two and rammed his head up his arse .. lol .. the head up the arse wasn't intended on my part and I lost lucidity somewhere after that. I found it funny. I had another non LD dream which was strange, I was stood high up a huge hill, looking down on the town below me, I was just thinking to myself, this is so beautiful, I felt at peace, everything was clean, it felt like spring or summer, it wasn't cold, but the most amazing part was the sky, it was just mind blowing how amazing it looked, but all I could think about was, "take it all in, this will spark a lucid dream sometime" .. you can imagine how silly I felt when I woke up .. .thanks for reading.

I am in a car and I immediately know that I have been kidnapped. We go inside of a Corporate building and it is very futuristic.I am sent upstairs to where a man and a woman are talking. They tell me to follow them into a room but I sneak away. I then wake up in my bed, but I still realize that I'm dreaming so I start to run something behind me. I then start shouting clarity x 1000 and everything gets more sharp. I am then transported back into the building. I am behind a locker and I'm listening to the boss of the company talking to what appears to be a janitor but he is whispering so I know something bigger is going on. They start heading my way and I tell myself to become invisible. I can still see me, but I trusted that I was invisible. The boss looks my way then turn back, so I'm hit with relief then he turns my way again and yells at someone to stop me.I curse and start running which usually gets me flying. As I get up into the air the guard grabs my leg and throws me back. I wake up.

I had no access to the internet for about three weeks, but I did record quite a few dreams. However, my handwriting isn't exactly what you'd call 'legible' when I write as soon as I wake up, and some things I wrote are just notes that make no sense to me now. So, here it is, word for word from what I have written down, and I'll add anything else I remember in parenthases.

~Voldmort says, "Don't fall asleep or I kill Ginny."

~I show someone my (drum? trom...bone? I can't read it) because I can't for the life of me remember who Bob Marley is.

~The Confederates come back and want to use our house to rest. (I remember being disappointed that Jasper Hale wasn't there, and briefly thinking that there was an amendment that said soilders couldn't stay in our house.)

~I get a pug, and have a German Shepard.

~In church, we get an assignment to be a computer. I work with J.R.

~Supposed to be getting married... can't do it.

~In the trashy back-alley part of a city I find my Chinese friend yay.

~What a dashing young lad: Mama's friend in a hooded cloak.

~Teacher says something about taking Jasper and Emmett home. We have to butter a biscuit to leave; even though mine isn't in complete sentences I can go.

~Someone does ballet in the middle of the road.

~The bus driver says it sounds like a ninja food fight. (???)

And then two dreams that I wrote in more detail: ~Playing a Tarzan game. Aliens come into it eventually, and that morphs it into a whole new game. When I stop playing, I'm in an unfamiliar house. Out one door, there are a bunch of dogs, so I go out to pet them. They start trying to come into the house. I shut the door and see that a waddly little bulldog got in, so I decide to take him to the pet store. Don't remember how I got there, but somewhere along the line I became lucid. The dog wanted to eat a candle so I started picking ones off a shelf and seeing if he liked them. As I held out a brown one swirled with red and green (cinnamon candy, I think it was called), my mom walked up and asked what I was doing. (just realized I changed tenses there... oh well.)
"It's a dream, so he's eating candles," I told her.
"What?"
"This is a dream."
She starts freaking out. "Wha... Thi... Are you serious!?"
"Yeah. Calm down. Control your breathing and touch the stuff on the shelves."
She makes an effort to stop hyperventilating and runs her hand across a shelf filled with bottles of shampoo. "It feels so real," she says in amazement, taking one bottle and holding to her ear like a phone. A loud voice starts coming from it.
I smile. Suddenly a bell rings at the counter so I go up to see what the person wants. He's a vampire. I can't remember what he asked for, but regardless, he just yanked me over the counter and bit my neck. I only felt little pinpricks of pain, and when he let me go I just lost lucidity and followed him out of the store. () I ended up walking down and road and seeing kids play under a little bridge.

~In school, a zombie apocalypse is in progress. I'm roaming around with a group of random people. The hallways are spattered with blood, and every so often a few zombies will come around a corner. The people I'm with bash them with blunt objects. As we pass the doors leading to the second floor, a white and tan Siberian Husky rockets past us and skids to a stop in front of the stairs, sniffs the air, and barks loudly. A man in a trenchcoat and fedora walks up and pats the dog on the head.
"Dog knows where it's safe," he says to us, already heading up the stairs. We follow them to a small, dark, round room that's empty apart from a few music stands and an armchair. Several minutes pass peacefully, then I realize that no zombie situation can ever be peaceful for long. Just as I'm about to suggest moving to a different area, the husky starts barking. Everyone in the room rushes to look down the stairs, where a large group of zombies is slowly making its way up to us. We all grab music stands and prepare to fight.
I wake up, a little relieved to not have to see how that ends.

Over black, I started to see a shape take form, it looked like a chromosome, changing from pink, to blue, to green and back to pink, aswell as shaking and shivering across my eyelids. I reached out with my dream arm (note, It was all dark besides the chromosome) and grabbed onto it. It disappeared.

Immediately after, I felt all my limbs start to flail, as if I was falling down an infinitely dark, bottomless cavern. Tumbling down the rabbit hole. I started thinking "Okay, the dream is about to start, I have to remember to focus. Im dreaming... Im dreaming.."

I was suddenly inside an unfamiliar kitchen, talking to two men, unsure who they were. I realised I was dreaming and told myself to stabilise the dream via activating senses. I knelt down and started to touch the lino floor. I remember saying "Wow. It feels so real!" There was some water on the floor too, I rubbed that in so it spread across the floor. Amazing, haha.

The dream clarity increased 10-fold. Feeling stable enough, I stood up and began to walk out.

Two women from my work came through the door at the end of the kitchen. I said "For fucksakes. Its a weekend, this is my dream and I dont want you here!" and walked past them. I turned around straight away, they had disappeared (Hahahah) Upon opening the door, I was on a beach at some beachside restaurant. There were about 7-8 people outside, sitting at tables. The sky was slightly grey and the ocean somewhat choppy and violent. It was here that I decided to try flying.

I stepped up on a table and told myself I was going to fly. I jumped. I noticed that I was the air for a ever-so-slightly longer time than I normally would have been, other than that, I just landed on the ground.

Being still very lucid at this point, I reassured myself - "No. This is a dream. MY dream. Anything is possible."
I relaxed and stared at the distant mountain, put my hands at my side and started to focus on flying.

Here, I noticed all the people around me had stopped talking and were all staring at me, silently.

I relaxed even further, realised I had now obtained all the power and began to rise. The more I rose, the faster I got. Until within about 10 seconds, I was in the upper atmosphere, with ever increasing height and speed. I was laughing with joy at this point. I looked forwards, the Moon, growing closer and closer. I noticed I couldnt control my speed, so I put my fist out, flew straight into the Moon, blowing it up.

Ecstatic, I lost control and the dream faded.

SO damn excited to do this again tomorrow morning!

I realise now I have to keep reminding myself I am dreaming. And also to engage my senses much more, so I can appreciate the dream environment more. (I think everything seemed grey and boring because I was more focused on touch?)

maybe the nighttime cold medicine put me to sleep very deeply. I could do WILD in first dream!! I've never done this..


--------------------WILD in the first dream---------------------

I lift my dream body up and crawl on the floor. when I look up, I am in the room where I had lived before I moved.
With the feeling of spooky atmosphere in the room(the scene was dark-blue), I am afraid of a ghost that's gonna come out at anytime...
But I know this is a dream so I just ignored and jump down the stairs then open the door, but I'm still scared.
I fly away over the town. It is covered with thick sheet of snow. the sky is all white-out, slightly snowing. I can't even see the background; it's smoggy.

I unconsciously think of meeting O'Donnell from Yellowcard rock band. I land in front of a house and see a man coming out.
I recognized him as O'Donnell. I don't see his face exactly, but I grasp his shoulders saying
"Are you O'Donnell? hey! you're dreaming right now!"
and suddenly ignoring test comes into my head. so I turn back and walk slowly, really trying to ignore him.
but I can still hear his footsteps. then I try to ignore it too, but I still feel that he's there. I get shocked with amusement.
(now that I think of it O'Donnell may have been an entity.)
"OH MY GOD!!! we are having shared dream??! O'Donnell you are real!!!"

I don't recall at this moment. We walk together in freezing weather to somewhere, looking for other members, and I am holding some kind of paper pockets.
Inside the pockets, there are sheets with amount of dollar written on it. near me Ryan Key says to me, or I recognize it as 'drugs for having deep sleep'.
I remember the nighttime medicine I took last night and I think (thought) that I consumed drugs. I was kinda scary but here I am, in dream.
the costs were over thousands of dollar.

I remember exactly that this dream was the most vivid dream I ever had. I could feel the cold weather, thick clothes I'm wearing, footsteps, just everything.

I recognize that Yellowcard members are shared dream members, and Ryan Key and I are conducting this experiment.

So Key, O'Donnell, and I are in an auditorium. The auditorium looks a lot like my high school's...
Then we find Sean Mackin in the seats. We greet him and I sit beside him. I say to him "Sean, you're dreaming right now! do RC! this is a dream!"
There is a middle-aged woman doing some kind of lecture on the stage. She didnt have face; or I dont remember her face ...I'm sure that it isn't human's face, but she is human.

We are very frustrated that we have to get out of here, but the woman wants to keep us in the auditorium. My heart beat is getting fast. I am a bit surprised that I can even feel hearbeat in dream. It was so real.
Key and I had a chance to stand out to claim that we are shared dream members, but the woman keep denying it. I think Key finally say to her that we have to get out, and she is convinced.

We finally stand up and get ready to get out of the auditorium. When I get to the exit door, the woman is standing there. I am kinda mad to her because she tried to lock us up here. so I say to her
"You don't even know what dream is."
then she says,
"Of course I know. It's the Internet you see over there."
She points to the outside where there's some kind of group of people having fun in the snow.
I think, dafuq, woman? sheesh, you're stupid. I ignore and walk outside with members.
(of course I didnt feel anything weird when she said that. but when I woke up after, it was very weird that she can answer like that. Dream is the Internet... )

I feel the freezing wind slapping on my face. I walk over to the group of people, and at this exact moment, I wake up.


---------

I couldnt go back to sleep for 10 minutes. I checked time; it was exactly 3 am.

11/30/2011
I was hanging out with John and A. We left our backpacks on the ground by the car, and we left the girl/princess in the car. We climb up this stair thing. At the top we're joking and talking. Then we realize someone might steal our stuff. We rush back down. Our backpacks are still there, with most of our stuff still in them (mine had stuff in different places than I left it), but the princess is gone. We are worried that she will be raped.

I try to make a potion to find the princess. I mix nerds (the candy), chocolate, and maybe something else in water. I got the chocolate from A, because I only have a whopper, which hasn't got a lot of chocolate in it. A gave me two mint-covered chocolate balls. I put one of each in the mix and stir, waiting for it to dissolve. It's taking its time. I split one of the chocolate candies in half so it'll melt faster. I don't think it's working quite right. I show it to the potions master and ask him about it. He says the chocolate I used wasn't pure enough. He helps me get something working.

I'm at the place the princess was taken. I pretend to be her... owner? to get into where she is. I know the real 'owner' will come along soon, though. I tell the princess to make me a sandwich. I put mustard on it myself. When the real guy comes along, I'm prepared. He's dressed in red, and his hair and beard are dark. We exchange a few words, then I throw the sandwich at him. It explodes, due the explosive runes I wrote on it with the mustard. I know I'm dreaming, so I can use interesting powers. I turn into a dragon (sort of) and bite his head off.

I'm back to my normal self. For some reason, I'm sticking to the wall in a corner, sort of spider-man style and closer to the ceiling than the floor. I think I tried to turn myself into the wall, to hide, when I was scared of that guy, but I ended up sticking to the wall instead.

Some guys (three of them) walk through a door, into this room. I think they are dungeons & dragons nerds. There are polyhedral dice on the floor. I use telekinesis to make the dice come to my hand, one at a time, throwing them at the skinny blond guy as I get them. One time, instead of using telekinesis, I moved my hand into a position so that it looked like I was holding the far away die because of an optical illusion, and then willed the die to be close rather than far.

I tell the blond guy that I am dreaming. I tell him that he is dreaming, too, but that's about when I wake up, so I don't get to see how he reacts.
