    Lucid Dreams

    1. 18/10 - Lion men, Kuno, the gangsters and I (plus playing with fire)

      non-lucid - Notes - lucid

      18-10-11 Intentions I deliberately decided to just chill in the case I got lucid, I had the feeling I always tried to do too much and that this was causing some stability issues. Besides I figured it would be easier for people to find me if I remained calm and fairly stationary.

      “Hypnagoic Havoc”

      Two times before actually falling asleep I was awoken due to HH. The first time I had a pulling sensation that frightened me a bit and I shut it down consciously, which resulted in me floating back to waking condition, which I regretted after having done it. The second experience was someone popping into my head saying something, might have been something simple as hello. I remember seeing the face, though it was fairly jumbled.
      …......

      “The Master of Swords am I!”

      I am something of an Egyptian god. Half lion half man and I have this Egyptian name that I don't really understand. What do you do when you don't understand something, you wiki it so I did just that =P. The name translates into “The Master of Swords” and apparently I am somewhat connected to handling slaves.

      There is someone there with me, maybe Float?, who is also a feline man with an equally impressive title. We are going up to see the boss (?) who is on the top of this structure that might be a pyramid. The colourings of the surroundings would indicate that it is set in Egypt and the structure definitely is the colour of the pyramids.

      While we are walking up towards the boss we are goofing around at our impressive titles. We both sort of know that it is a role play situation and we find it funny that we are so highly ranked as well as being lion men.

      Our joking abruptly ends as we get to the top were a lion woman, who reminds me of Windy, tells us that the ropes that are tying us together have been severed. The way it is severed is by the top triangle of the Illuminati symbol all of a sudden appears behind her and it radiates a glow that cuts the bonds between us.

      I get a panicky feeling and don't want this to be the case. I become aware that it is a dream as I wake up, while wondering why I wasn't the top dog seeing as people were trying to find me =P.
      …................

      “Just chill man, who the fuck is Kuno and pall?”

      I am walking down this narrow cobbled street feeling fairly gleeful. I notice that there are four people acting strangely and I notice that they all open a can of Tuborg at the same time. I continue down the road, but I find it unusual and turn around to observe what is happening.

      I get the feeling that they are either doing a social experiment, to check if anyone is noticing their weird behaviour, or shooting and ad for the beer. While I am looking at them they enter a shop, think it is a small fashion shop or similar and I get the feeling that they are the proprietors since they are walking in while the shop is closed.

      I turn back around and start walking down the street again. The sunlight would indicate that it is afternoon or early evening. I spot four other people down the street and notice that they have just opened four cans of Carlsberg, which might be the explanation for the other group's weird behaviour.

      One of the guys stops up and I am walking down beside him. On an elevated platform made of stone to my right I see a pick nick table and upon that table is a bundle of keys. I pick them up and turn around asking the people behind me if it is their keys, but they inform me they aren't.

      The guy who had stopped up then approach me and tells me it is his. I give him his keys and explain that I wasn't anything personal, but the behaviour of the other guys would indicate that they were more likely to loose a set of keys. He laughs a bit and tells me “Yeah always look for the people in a festival costume” You should take it as a compliment that I didn't think they were yours” (?)

      skip (small one)

      There is a shop on my left hand side, which serves food as is apparent as it is a transparent cooling desk. The scenery has a 2D quality to it now and I know I am dreaming. I keep pushing myself forward intending to fully submerge in the dream and soon enough I am in a 3D environment.

      I remember to just chill out without really trying to alter the dream or use powers, but just walk around and experience the dream. I start looking at things and I start smelling things, one of these elements being the fish on the counter, which I can't recall how smelled.

      Henriette walks up from behind me and we start chatting about how she has been. She tells me about her studies and I do try and pay attention, but I keep shifting my focus away from her to focus on details in the environment to keep the dream stable. At one point I notice this shelf with some golden glitter on it.

      I ask Henriette if she is aware that we are dreaming, she replies that she is, though she goes on to explain that I am dreaming, but she is not, indicating that she understand herself as a figment of my imagination (which is weird, but I don't think more of it).

      I walk off I think Henriette keeps following me and there is this wooden frame with a hole in it, to act as a window, that I try and crawl through parcour style as I am getting a bit bored. There are loads of wooden boxes and barrels on the other side of this frame and also there is a room with people in it.

      I walk into the room which is grey, but still has some boxes in it. The man from the street (the man with the keys) is in the room and I ask him if he knows we are dreaming. he replies that he is aware and I go to shake his hand. I tell him my name is Dennis and I ask for his. He walks around me and tells me his name is Kuno before he sits down on a box.

      Then someone from behind the boxes jump on my back and scares the shit out of me, his name is some metaphor for my anus and I don't find him funny at all, mainly because I get the feeling he wants to violate me sexually. He has this crazy grin on his face, which look like Gareth's from EIMS.

      I don't trust him and I tell him that I don't appreciate his way of behaving and he seems somewhat hurt of this. Throughout the dream I keep telling him that he will have to do a hell of a lot to prove himself trustworthy for me.

      I turn back to talk to Kuno, I ask “By Kuno, do you mean Katsuno?” “No” he answers. I want to get an idea about this fellow so I ask him to stand up. He does so and turns out to have blonde/brown hair, quite a pronounced forehead, he is about half a head shorter than me (I am 180 cm) and he has this wide smile on his face pretty much all the time.

      We walk out of the room and through these corridors with grey walls. At one point we stop by a window and I notice how the light gets bend through the glass of the window creating these small colourful spots and find it fascinating. Furthermore I notice a pattern playing in the light that wouldn't have been possible in waking life. I also notice that the light projection is actually on the same wall in which the window is placed rather than on the other wall, so I am witnessing something completely impossible physically speaking.

      Something after this point is missing though I don't know what.

      I keep talking to the guy who jumped me and tell him that I don't trust him and that he will have to make up for his stupidity if he wants to earn my trust.
      …...............

      “No flight!? - You will burn for this!”

      I have a false awakening. My flatmate enters my room with a badminton racket and say something weird. I go back to bed.

      I wake up again and notice that it is a false awakening and I think that the situation with my flat mate would also have been a FA. I get out of bed and start walking around. I don't do any reality checks I just know I am dreaming. I start heading towards the window and I sort of lie on my back floating in the air and start floating out through the window actually seeing the glass as I fly through it without breaking it (I never tire of that one ^^).

      I get a brief thought that I am absolutely insane to start jumping out of my window without having done a RC, but I go with it. It is sunny, bright and warm outside and I get the feeling I am naked. I fly up to my right and have a brief chat with my neighbour, explaining to her that we are dreaming. I face her and she looks at my package and before I fly away she thanks me for the experience. “It was nothing” I tell her and consider I hope I didn't just deliver a stupid joke about the size of my junk.

      Anyways I decide I don't care what people think about my naked body and fly on. I fly down toward the centre of the garden and start thinking about Katsuno in lack of anything better to do. I think about the spider man technique and although I don't feel or see a rope come out I do feel a sensation in my left hand that serves like a compass or homing beacon.

      I start flying towards the direction indicated by my hand, but then I get this message that I can't get to him because the vegetation and foliage of our dreams are currently incompatible (WTF!?). I then fly down and land in some dense material, which is a mixture of pineapple and reeds. The leafs are really thick, but edgy meaning you could cut yourself on them, and I get stuck in them. Moreover I loose my ability to fly, which doesn't really create a panic, but I sure do get angry.

      I start walking through the bushes and end up between a hedge on one side and really tall stingy nettles on the other side. I wonder if the nettles will sting me, but they don't even when I pick them up. So I am walking along the hedge and there is a lot of foliage above me reaching in over the path. I can't fly up and this really piss me off now.

      I just look up and start climbing up through the plants while screaming “FIRE!” repeatedly. I think about doing some fireballs or other interesting stuff, but I don't really manage this. Instead I get out to the sea at a marina with a lot of house boats, and auto campers and trailers as well (?), in the water.

      I kneel down and slam my arms in the ground while screaming “FIRE!” some more. I look out over the boats and in the beginning nothing is happening, but then this one boat starts burning, nothing spectacular, but small flames leaping all over it, and though they aren't big and intense, you get the feeling that they are very effective at eating the boat quickly.

      I channel telekinesis through my left arm into the ground and lift the boat out of the water. I pull it back towards me though on my left hand side. Then I crush it. I can feel the phantom hand I have created around the boat and I clench my fists around it so it looks like the boat implodes. I then release it and return my attention to the rest of the marina.

      Another boat is burning on my right hand side, I keep going nuts and soon I notice fire in many boats and campers, essentially the entire harbour is burning. The sky is no longer sunny, but has turned night time dark. I wake up.
      …............

      “FA”

      FA: I pick up the dicta phone and start hearing my voice through the device, thinking that I am starting to record over my first lucid.
      …............

      “Cosmic Gangster Showdown”

      I am on a battlefield and two rival gangs are facing one another. “My” team led by my father is holding daggers and is stood squarely facing a bunch of archers from the opposing gang. I wonder why they aren't retaliating or fighting for their lives.

      There is something cosmic going down, some shit about planetary alignment and the battle is part of a greater story. I decide to take one of my daggers and throw it at an archer and sidestep before letting the arrows hit me. But none of the men there besides me does this, and I somehow get the feeling that it was intended for them all to die.

      I rummage the battlefield after the slaughter and pick up a dagger and three other throwing knives that looks like a mixture between a halberd and a scalpel, but in a size suitable for throwing.

      skip

      I am in a gangster setting and I have caused a problem, maybe by interfering in the battle mentioned before. However I am not the only one in trouble, I have actually caused some problems for my friends as well.

      Especially this one guy, who is about to be a father I have caused problems for and I do my best to help out. I do this mainly by sourcing pregnancy stuff and a children's bed for him. He is really grateful for this and thanks me at one point in the dream. I ask him not to thank me and reminds him that I have also placed him in the shit. I think Ronja makes a gesture towards him reminding him about this fact.

      In order to make up for this I have started taking a more active interest in my fathers gangster business. I will one day inherit the operations. I have ensured that a lot of small business, responsible for significant income, has been added under the wings of the corporation.

      I intend to get a car salesman going for the firm as well. So I make a trip to this dealer not far a away who is of Spanish origin and in his 40es or 50es. I look at a station car and open the door in the wrong end of the car, though I am convinced it is the front door it turns out to be the rear one.

      The salesman comes over to me and start talking about the car. I offer him a job and tell him that whatever he is getting paid my dad will pay him more. He gets into the driving seat of the car and we drive back to the HQ of my father's empire. On the way I ask if he has a card I can take so I can get back in touch with him. He gives me one.

      Back at HQ we walk the ground floor and look at all the shops down there. I notice that there isn't actually a suitable one for a car business, though I was positive there was. I do know however that some of the existing shops will close down and potentially open up a spot. I thank the salesman for his time and openness to consider my offer.

      slight skip.

      Back upstairs I am talking to people, in particular the coming dad, who I assure that no harm will come to him. I intend to up the game. I am going to go and cut up some people to make sure the rival gang knows not to fuck with us. So I pick up a scissors and give it to a guy and I go into the kitchen to pick up a meat knife, one with a slight hint of teeth on it, while considering it's use against a throat.

      All of a sudden a lot of people are joining me, feeling it is a good idea. We leave some of the woman behind and they put on some music we all know, that we start laughing about and dancing to.

      Down by the front door the doorman stops us. I know him to have been affiliated with the rival gang, but he has taken on a more neutral role nowadays. He grabs my left wrist with an iron claw thing that he is using as an artificial hand. I tell the others that he is sound and isn't to be hurt.

      Across the road I see the entire other gang on bikes wearing fluorescent yellow/green jackets and fake mu-stages and glasses as disguises. They have been tipped off and I instantly recognise that the music we were listening to is actually the tip off sign, we have a traitor in our midst, though I don't know who as of yet.

      The doorman starts singing about the music has been used as a sign.

      I run across the street and start chasing the gang, which is led by Dirch Passer (Famous old school Danish actor) and my old Karate trainer. I chase Dirch who stops casually at a red light, but then he notice I am chasing him and he sort of come to the realisation that I mean business and he takes off. I turn around wanting to chase the others but they have all disappeared. I ask hypothetically if they have all entered the bus, and my gang replies that they have, but that there wasn't enough room for Dirch.

      Throughout the dream (bar the battlefield part, where I think I am wearing some sort of leather arour) I am wearing this bright flashy yellow suit, AWSOMENESS!
    2. Became Lucid and attempted to call out Dream Guide

      by , 10-18-2011 at 01:35 PM (Linkzelda's Dream Journal)
      10/18/11

      NON-LUCID, LUCID

      I’m in some type of Middle school or High school. I was worried about the quiz tomorrow in the dream that we had to take. I meet my elementary teacher I had in a certain school named Ms. Coffee. She helped me with some concepts I needed to know before the quiz (it was something simple like memorizing the different phases of the moon like a full moon, crescent, etc), and then I had to wait for her to give me some pass to excuse me from being tardy in my next class. She thought I was supposed to be in her next class, but I explained it to her and then left with the pass.

      Then I’m in some room in college. I see myself do a reality check by pinching my nose….

      I can breathe. And like in the last lucid I had yesterday, I tried to stabilize it. I said “Ball” about 3 times and they formed. I believe I see too people in my room, and I’m wondering why they are here. They were fiddling with some things, and I told them some random nonsense that if they took anything, they would have their location traced down in quickly.
      (They weren't exactly like the image below, but they just stood there lol)


      They eventually left and I decided to just get out of this dream scene. I tried to jump really high inside a building and just launch myself up the ceiling to get outside, but I can’t recall actually getting out.


      But I’m outside, and it’s raining. I believe I’m in an environment that’s similar to the college I’m in now. -snipped-



      I see some random DCs, and I believe I was checking my backpack to make sure my Zune Mp3 player wasn’t going to go out should the rain soak my backpack and seep into it. It was okay, and I put it back.



      I believe that at one point while it was raining, I was trying to call out my Dream Guide, it felt so weird. I felt sad while it was raining, but it just felt so good to be sad for some odd reason. No one showed up.

      Then I’m suddenly in this different environment, but I don’t believe I was as lucid as before. Some random DC that looked like a college professor said that we will be having our quiz today. He even gave us a slideshow outside of a classroom of what the quiz would be like and allowed us to look up the answers to complete the 5 questions up in the board.



      It turned out that it was the quiz and that it was open-book. There were some spelling errors on the slideshow, like instead of Years, it said Yiers. I wasn’t aware of this and didn’t do a RC, but after the quiz time was over and we went over the answers, most of our answers were right, but I couldn’t remember if I got all of them right. Then I woke up.

    3. Soaring above scorched grounds

      by , 10-18-2011 at 10:31 AM (The Erratic dreams of StaySharp)
      The dream was beginning with me being in a building, I kinda thought of a school but judging by my clothes (only swimming pants) I guess it was also a swimming bath. Some dude was joking around with his swimming glasses and had some soft pads in there. He was making some joke about boobs but I wasn't really interested in whatever he was doing there. I explored the area in search for a useful bathroom but unlike the building which was in a normal state, the bathrooms looked horrendous, each one in a special way. The last one I remember was especially bad. All lights were wasted and everything was covered with 50% rust, and there was this feeling of danger.

      The dream faded in quality producing a gap in my recall.

      After a while I was in some sort of open building, more like a garden, plants of all types everywhere covering even big parts of the walls. I was in the pedentive of a small dome, sorta like this:

      From there I could look through a hole onto a round table in the dome below. I had some bad quality again and the only thing I remember is that
      something made me know I'm lucid, but again I didn't also understand I'm lucid.

      I found myself sitting at this round table with my girlfriend (looked just slightly different, darker red hair). I was looking back into some other part of the building as I saw some people chasing a sort of living green tumbleweed with roses, they did it to save their lifes. Caught by this WTF-moment I spoke out "I must be dreaming". And then vividness hit me in the face like a ion storm, suddenly also understanding I was dreaming I screamed out the same thing again. I thought about calling a dream guide, but my girlfriend said "Took you long enough", making me assume she might've been my dream guide that moment. The scene drastically changed.

      I found myself in a ridiculous huge landscape, with reddish-brown ground and small rivers of lava everywhere. The ground was uneven, hills and mountains were scattered everywhere. The urge to fly hit me and I instinctively raised my arms to the side and jumped from the hill I was standing on, gliding barely a few meters above the ground. I didn't feel any air pass, but except for that it was pretty realistic.
      (I had some doubts about flying because I've seen stories about failing attempts as well as guides on DV, but my confidence in my instinct was stronger)
      I heard my girlfriend/dream guide say something like "You can do it, but together we can fly even higher". I soared above the next hill and spotted a mountain with strange statues and wanted to take a look at it, so I circled around it, rising upwards in the process. The statues loooked like they were for some deity, made by a long extinct civilization, some of them being a few hundret meter high. I also saw some geometrically impossible stone shapes.
      Somewhere close to the top I spotted a different part which resembled a part of a room, with completely different, comparibly small figures. They kinda reminded me of an odd type of horror movie (not a real one) that was however pretty cool and had a message to it. With that the dream fades...

    4. Lucid dreams within dream and strange zombie attack on cruise-ship

      by , 10-18-2011 at 08:30 AM
      Dream Lucid Semi-lucid

      Tuesday, October 18, between 07.00 to 09.30
      I do not remember much but I was with a group of 5-10 persons that had ability for finding each other in dreams. We could in a way find each other by deep meditation and use visual abilities. I remember looking at us as the guys in Inception. We were constantly in danger but we were good at what we did. Too bad I do not remember more here.

      I was on a sort of cruise ships but cannot remember by whom, and remember not so much from the beginning here. But there was something that happened to the ship and I think we got hit by something and the ship was leaking but we just continued going. I remember dreaming lucid within the dream and made it several times. One of the times I confront a woman who was chasing me and smashed her face with my hands. Another dream was when I went to the top of a building I know but I was climbing in a turn staircase on the outside of the building. This was in poor condition and half way up the building I froze and got panic. Then the building began to rotate around in the air and I threw the building and myself down in a lake and I woke up in the dream. When I woke up I was lying inside wrapped in a blanket on the floor. I remember the others on the cruise ship thought it was very funny when I was dreaming because I always did so many strange things in my sleep.

      Suddenly, we came to the destination and I started packing my things but I struggled hard to find them all. The time was critical due to the boat's condition so everything had to be done in haste.

      The next thing I remember is that we are getting back somewhere and cruise ship is still in poor condition. I stand behind the ship and see a zombie-like people who jump into the water and swim rapidly towards us.
      Then something happens and suddenly I change body and stands on land together with 4-5 of these zombies and I'm one of that myself. The body was very slimy and the face was deformed and a little bloody. We are waiting for the cruise ship coming around a rock and then attack. I must have been semi-lucid here because I was afraid they would find out that I was not one of them. Each of the zombies smiles and murmur when the ship coming before they go to the water's edge and I do the same to not be discovered.

      The scene changes and now I'm at the house of my parents in Norway. The whole city is under attack by the zombies and they are in thousands. I now have my own body and climbing up a wall on the road outside the house that is so high that they cannot get hold of me. I call my father and tell him what is happening and worried that my brother and his children will come back the city during the attack. Eventually there comes a big Chinese guy with a trolley with some objects inside. He runs up the wall I stand on and study me but see that I am not a zombie. Then he takes hold of me and put me down on the ground by the trolley. Then he grows bigger and beats his chest like King Kong and roaring and running and eating up zombies. Then the other objects in the trolley transform to more Chinese guys and in few minutes are all the zombies consumed. I go into the house that is now safe and is happy that both Tengkva and Tengmo (my dogs) have survived. But then suddenly three small puppies coming and I think that Tengkva have give birth. But then I realize it is Tengmo who have give birth but he is a boy so I became lucid but wake up at that time.

    5. 10/16/2011 - "First Night at Dream World Academy"

      by , 10-18-2011 at 06:29 AM (Oneironaut Zero: Dreamwalker Chronicles)
      10/16/2011
      "First Night at Dream World Academy"
      Uploaded with ImageShack.us
      (Ironically, I had almost forgotten this dream, upon waking. I'd gotten sidetracked, and it wasn't until a good 20 minutes after fully waking up, that I remembered the experience. Unfortunately, sooo many of the details feel lost (), but what I retained still left me with a feeling of total accomplishment.)

      I don't really remember anything that happened in the beginning of this dream, and my timeline is a little disjointed, but I will put it together the best I can remember. The earliest memory I have is of having just realized I was dreaming, and trying to fly, somewhere out in the woods at night. I was having a lot of trouble flying, and I seemed to just be sinking back to the ground with normal gravity, whenever I tired to take off. I don't remember the point at which I actually was able to take control of my flight, but I was soon zooming out toward the coastline, having remembered my intention to try to find the Academy. The last few times that I had been searching for it, it was always on the water, so I figured the best way to find it was to just fly out over the ocean and will it to be there.

      I overshot the shoreline, without pause, and continued out toward the dark horizon. The sky was this eerily-beautiful canvas of black, dark blue and purple, with the lightest colors having been pushed back beyond the coastline I was leaving; the last rays of setting sunlight behind me as I continued flying into the void, a few dozen feet above the water. The further out to sea I flew, though, the more uncomfortable I got. I could see that this deep, featurless, dark purple backdrop was beginning to project some detail in the sky. I could now see, thick, individual whisps of soft, purple/gray storm clouds, where there had once seemed to be none. (With my speed and low altitude, it felt a lot like the scene in Superman Returns, when he's flying out toward the kryptonite reef.) By this time, the sky was looking even more and more ominous, and I couldn't shake the foreboding notion that I was flying into something sinister. The puffy purple clouds - still barely visible against the dark backdrop - were beginning to swirl, and I half expected to see funnel clouds spike downward from them. Just on the horizon, I could see sporadic flashes of lightning on the water. I didn't like this at all. It's not secret that I'm pretty apprehensive about being way out in open water, in my dreams - because of my constant run-ins with sea monsters - and I realized that I was now out in the middle of nowhere, with no Academy in sight. More than a little intimidated by my new surroundings, I decided to turn around and fly back to the shore. (I have to go over the St. John's River Bridge, every night on my way home, and we've been having some pretty amazing-looking thunderstorms and cloud cover out here, lately. I'm thinking it might have been where the intense storm imagery over the water came from.)

      Soon back on land, I began to think of other ways to find the Academy, and I remembered about the portals. At first, I looked around for any of the puddle / water-hole type puddles I had been using in previous dreams. When I didn't find any, immediately, I thought about doors. I began wandering around, going through various doorways and trying to 'will' myself into the Academy. Behind one door, in particular, I walked into the setting of a previous dream from over a year ago. It was a theme park that some friends and I had gone to for a Halloween Horror Nights type of occassion. The room that I had walked into was the lobby of one of their haunted houses. I remembered previous dream and that it had been pretty creepy, so I really didn't have any desire to stay here. When I turned around, though, the door that I had come through was gone, and I was standing in the middle of the haunted house lobby, with no sign of the wall that had just been behind me. A little uneasy about this - trying not to get distracted from my mission - I searched around for another door, spotting a little service door in the corner of the lobby. I walked over to the door and opened it...only to find another door, behind it. Behind that one, was another. I was beginning to get a little fed up with this.

      I closed the door and focused on changing what was behind it. When I opened it again, the other door had vanished, and there was a dark, stone hallway, leading off into the distance. There was a soft light inside the corridor, but I don't recall what from. Stepping further into the hallway, I saw an opening on the other side, leading out into the night. When I stepped through the archway, I found myself outside, on the water, as if I had stepped out onto a concrete dock. I walked out away from the archway a bit and turned around, to get a good look at the structure from which I'd just emerged. It was a monstrous, stone building. It seemed a series a buildings, really, comprised of high towers and ramparts, various points in the seemingly-mideval architecture connected by high walkways and bridges. It looked like a great, dark castle, from down here. Immediately, I knew where I was; I had finally made it to the Dream World Academy! I walked along the narrow dock for a moment, looking for a main entrance. It was still nighttime, and it didn't look like there was much more than the moon lighting the outside of this place. Eventually, I came to a turn-off, and rounded it to see a gigantic stairway, comprised of what looked to be hundreds of steps, ascending toward a large set of double doors at the front of the Academy.

      I started climbing the stairs, taking in the spectacle, and just now beginning to notice that there were other people milling about the outside of the building. Everyone seemed to just be doing their own thing, and not paying any particular attention to me, which was fine, because I really didn't want to disturb too much, my first time here. I just continued to watch everyone, while I walked up toward the doorway. About halfway up, I passed a small group of people on the stairway. It looked as if they were practicing magic or something, but I don't quite recall. When I got to the large doors, I stepped inside and into a main lobby. Inside the Academy was nearly as dark as the outside; the soft glow of a few, scattered torches fighting against the cool blue of the moonlight coming in through the windows and portals around us, for possession of the black shadows which still dominated the majority of the what could have been adequetely called a 'Great Hall' of sorts. The whole place had a very Harry Potter / Hogwarts kind of feel, outside of being quite dark and having a very 'pre-electricity' atmosphere.

      Unfortunately, there is a lot beyond this point that I don't remember. Nothing too noteworthy, that I can recall. I vaguely remember just wandering the halls, talking to a couple of various DC's about the school, most of which were just practicing a few general abilities, here and there. I remember a portly old bald man being one of the instructors there, but I don't recall very much about him. The last memory I have of the dream is being out near the water again and trying to run back over the events in the dream, as a normally do, to try to help remember them upon waking.

    6. 10/12/2011 and 10/14/2011 - Fragments

      Fragment
      (Ugh. Completely lost a lucid dream. )

      All I really remember is being in the middle of a huge fire-fight, in an office building type of setting. During the gunfight, there was an opposing team trying to storm into our office, and they were shooting through the cubicle walls that we were trying to take up shelter behind. I remember that they were beginning to flank around the sides of the barriers, and I tossed a grenade into one corner of the office, taking out a few of the first gunmen to breach our (shoddy) defense. Running out of places to shield myself, I became lucid. That liberating feeling of being in the thick of a dangerous situation - and then realizing it's all a dream - surged through me. Fearless, I jumped over what was left of my thin shield of wood and sheet metal, that was my cubicle wall, I walked toward the gunmen, threatening to them all that they must either throw down their guns and walk away, or I was seriously about to fuck them all up, single-handedly.

      Don't remember anything that happened after that, though.



      10/13/2011
      Fragment
      I was at the summit of a huge mountain (which might have been Olympus, because I was focusing on the 'become a Greek God' Task of the Month), and fighting some giant, witch-like person/creature/thing. She had been chasing some girl (whom I think might have been MJ) and I through an roof-less corridor, toward the edge of the mountain, and then we would have to jump out of the way, at the last moment, to try to send her stumbling off of the cliffside. We actually failed at this, a time or two, and ended up falling off, ourselves. Then, the dream would 'reset' itself, and we would have to try again. The last time, all three of us went over the edge, and I was able to grab on to a ledge with one hand and help hold on to MJ with the other, while the witch plunged to her death.



      10/14/2011
      Dream Fragment One
      I had been having sex with either MJ or GV. I can't remember which, but it was soon afterward, that I was sitting at my computer, while she slept in the background, naked. Someone walked into the room to tell me something. The door had already been open, and once they relayed the message, they looked over to see the girl, sprawled out on the bed, and then quickly stepped out, closing the door behind him as if he was embarassed at what he'd seen.

      Later, I was in some bar with a couple of friends. I believe that K (ROTC) was one of them. He got up on stage and began doing some karaoke, which I usually wouldn't be caught dead doing (despite the fact that I can sing fairly well), but seeing him up there kind of emboldened me to do the same. (Actually, I remember a Facebook post from K, the other day, where he was talking about getting a singing group together, just for the hell of it.). I don't think I ever got a chance to sing, though.


      Dream Fragment Two
      I really only remember on scene out of this. I was being chased by an enormous, armored horse and rider, through a path in the woods. The horse was about the size of an elephant, and the muscular rider was fairly preportional. The horse continued to charge, as if it was looking to run me down, as a matter of its own, personal satisfaction. At some point during the chase, I was seeing myself from a third person perspective, and it was almost like I was 'guiding' myself through the woods. It felt like I was playing a video game, and I was the avatar. I don't remember ever actually have a controller or anything, but I noticed how hard it was to kind of 'control' myself, like the avatar wasn't very responsive to where I want to go, and it was really cumbersome to keep distance between my pursuer and myself.

    7. 10/08/2011 - "O Goes to the Movies"

      by , 10-18-2011 at 05:58 AM (Oneironaut Zero: Dreamwalker Chronicles)
      10/08/2011
      "O Goes to the Movies"

      I was hanging out with a bunch of people, in a huge lake or pond type of setting, set next to a large, stone building. We would climb up on the outside of the building and do backflips off of the wall and into the water. There was a whole lot in this dream that I don't remember at all, but it was while we were playing here, in the water, that I became lucid. The water was very murky, and you really couldn't see below the surface. Somehow, feeling a little apprehensive about the low visibility, I'd become aware (or just anticipated) that one of my friends was going to try to scare me by acting like there was something swimming in the water with us. No sooner did I get this presumption, than I felt someone brush up against my leg and suddenly grab one of my ankles. Having expected it, though, it didn't really startle me at all.

      Having had my fill of swimming, I levitated myself up out of the water and floated off to another building. The day seemed to change to night, around this time. There is a lot of this part that I don't remember, but there was some chaotic scene going on, involving angels and demons. I want to say it was a battle, but I'm not too sure. However, one particular moment I remember is being on a rooftop and looking at my shadow, which was cast on a nearby wall. Apparently, I had been one of the demons. When I raised my hands up, I could see that I had a pair of huge, bat-like wings and what looked to be horns, in my shadow.

      There was another set of transitions, here, and I remember a short scene, where I was walking up to the front of a house. It was still night time, and I could just barely make out a figure that was lurking around the house. It was a man, and the moment he saw us approaching (I have the feeling I was walking with someone, but I can't remember who), he suddenly bolted to a nearby, waiting car and sped off.

      Another transition (or gap in memory) occurred, and the next thing I remember is being a bbq with family and friends - my lucidity having pretty much left me, by now. There were a bunch of games being played at the gathering, and one of which was a match-making or kissing booth type of game, but I can't remember which.

      The next thing I remember is being in a movie theater, with my friends and family from the earlier bbq. I don't remember exactly what got me back on track, but my lucidity kicked back in, while in the theater, waiting for the movie to start. Someone had asked me if I'd won any games at the bbq, and I answered 'no'. Overhearing the conversation, a bunch of other people started ridiculing me, for having not won anything, and I believe it was this ridicule, that reminded me that this was all just a dream (though I'm not exactly 100% positive that it was that particular reason). I scoffed at them and told them that I didn't care about those games, because I had 'more important skills, than winning at some silly game'. Taking this as the perfect time to show off my lucidity, and wow this critical crowd, I raised a hand to the ceiling and focused on the lights, dimming them and brightening them with a simple, mental command. Everyone was immediately silent with amazement. I could tell by the looks in the eyes of those nearest to me, that it was also making them uncomfortable. I said something like "oh, that's not all," and I rose to my feet, looking up toward the window to the projector room. I focused on the beam of light coming out of the window, and made the entire projection flicker on and off with a few waves of my hand, showing all of the DC's that I had full control over this theater, with my mind.

      Suddenly, a large portion of the crowd started screaming in fear and running for the exit, acting as if I was some sort of evil sorcerer, or something, here to steal their souls. I thought the whole thing was hilarious, and just kind of laughed while the people ran. In the mix of it all, though, there were attractive girls, a few rows down, who had been eyeing me, during my antics. One of them was whispering something to the other, and kept looking back at me, giggling. Finally, she got up and sauntered up the aisle toward me, frightened movie goers pushing their way around her. Having sat back down, I looked up at her and grinned. She smiled back and sat down on my lap, saying that she wanted me, and something about how she was good at getting what she wanted. I laughed and played it nonchalant with her. We talked for a little bit, and my lucidity started fading again.

      The last thing I remember is the girl introducing me to her adorable little girl - who pretty much came out of nowhere. The little girl and I hit it off pretty well, and we were all laughing and playing around with each other, after most everyone else had left the theater.

    8. Of Course She Would Be The One

      by , 10-17-2011 at 08:38 PM
      Well, this was an interesting dream.
      I was complaining to this woman and her son about how "it" wasn't much of a challenge.
      "What's not much a challenge,"the woman inquired.
      "This! All this! This...dream...All these dreams are so dull and boring! The last time I told anyone in the Dream World it was a dream, they laughed and made it seem like I was the idiot for not knowing from the very start!"
      We heard a gasp and her son looked worried.
      "I...I'm not real,"he asked, tears coming to eyes.
      "Ah, jeez...,"I muttered guiltily.
      His mother glared at me and said,"Thanks. Thanks for shattering the kid's hopes and dreams."
      I explained things over to him and he seemed to start thinking that it was a good idea. After all, as long I'm not shot or something, the kid's hopes and dreams are intact.
      "But, you know,"I said afterward,"there has to be one person that it would actually infuriate if they found out I was dreaming."
      The woman pointed towards me and said,"Uh, like that?"
      All of a sudden, I felt someone attack me from behind and bite my arm--hard.
      "What the ----?!"
      Surprised, I turned and saw my mother, an angry look in her eyes. I wanted to laugh.
      "This is what I'm talking about! Even in my dreams, you're a pain to deal with!"
      More snarling.
      "Haha! Please. If you think attacking me means I'm going to consider this dream a nightmare, you have another thing coming."
      More biting.
      "Okay, now you're pissing me off."
      I picked her up and body slammed her down onto the ground. I bent down low and murmured," You ain't got nothing on the real thing."
      Then, I "woke up".
      I looked around and sighed in relief. It was just a stupid dream. I glanced at my arm and saw a huge bite mark. Infuriated, I stormed out my room to complaint about it. Then, I woke up for real.
    9. Long LD (Trick-or-Treating, World of Warcraft, Asking DCs questions, Kissing)

      by , 10-17-2011 at 05:12 PM
      Long LD from two nights ago:

      Ed called me and told me to look at the Moon outside. I went out onto my oorch. I was at my old home in LA. I saw the full moon. It was very large. I then was what looked like a satelite passing the moon. It then sped up and brightened up until it looked like a fireball. I thanked Ed for hainvg me go out to see that.

      Then I was in my kitchen. Several family members were there. There was a hole on the floor and water was leaking in. Ed was there. Marie asked him about the army.

      We then went back out to the porch and my telescope was there. We pointed it at the moon and looked at it. I was amazed by all the detail I could see. I could even see red streaks on the rock which made the moon look like it was made from sandstone.

      Something about this seemed odd. I wondered if this was a dream. But I knew that this was real. This was way too real to be a dream. But at the same time I decided to jump up in the air like I would in a dream because it seemed like a funny thing to do.

      Well, I jumped and hovered a sec. It wasn't much, but I thought about it. I knew that in real life I wouldn't hover for even a second.

      Suddenly I knew without a doubt that I was dreaming. I flew up in the air over my old neighborhood. It felt amazing. I noticed that I could feel the wind and the coolness of the night air and the feeling in my stomach of going up and down.

      I wanted to go even faster, but strugged, like I usually do. I focused on rockets coming out of my feet, and I felt like I was going faster, but nothing around me moved much faster.

      I then remembered that I needed to do a Task of the Month. One Task was to go Trick-or Treating. I landed back down in my neighborhood where I Trick or Treated as a child. I seemed really big, like my neighborhood was made out of dollhouses. But I leaned close to a house and rang the doorbell. Someone opened the door and I said "Trick-or-Treat!" They put something in a bag I was holding. I didn't see it, but I knew it was a tootsie roll. I went to another house. This time the person saw me and ran away screaming. I went to another house, and they gave me another toosie roll. The person in the fourth house ran away again. I laughed and knew that they were programmed to do that.


      I then looked around. Things around me looked like a World of Warcraft setting. I saw these kittens all around me in various places. I thought, "Oh, that's for the new quest. If I had accepted the quest the kittens would be all sparkley." I wished I was on the quest so I could collect the kittens.

      I floated up in the air again and came to a boardwalk. I landed. I saw a good looking guy and decided to kiss him. I didn't even bother to say anything to him first. I just pulled him to me and kissed him. After the kiss, he looked at me with a surprised, but not unhappy look. Then as if to get in the spirit of things, he then pulled an older lady to him and kissed her. After that kiss he looked at me to make a face, like "that wasn't really a good idea. I should have just kissed you again." So I asked him to kiss me again. but for some reason he started talking about "okra" and we never did kiss again.

      I then decided to talk to some dream characters. I saw a bar next to me. I went up to the counter and saw the bartender. He was about 55 with graying hair and he was very tall and had a beer belly and stubble on his face.

      I leaned toward him across the counter and asked him the first thing that came to mind, "Am I dreaming?"

      "Yes." He answered.

      "How do you know?" I asked.

      I can't remember what he said, but he started going off on all this scientific stuff. It really surprised me to get this from a bartender. I then asked him something else that I no longer remember. This time he said, "Ask Nurse May." And he pointed to a lady standing next to him.

      I leaned to her and said, "Hey, Nurse-- I mean, hi May..." And then I asked her if I was dreaming.

      "Yes." she answered, and I am pretty sure she went off on a complicated explanation why she knew that.

      I then asked, "What do you see when you look at me?"

      She said some word that I didn't understand, "Ethano..."----something.

      I then turned to someone else by me and asked then to look up that word for me since I was unfamiliar with it. They read me the definition...."one who is ruled by the hourglass."


      Hmmm...that was odd.

      Then the dream started to fade. I looked over to the bartender again and also at my hands and willed the dream to come back to full clarity. It seemed to do so.

      Then I was back in the World of Warcraft setting. Around me were frogs. I knew the quest was to chase the frogs. But I remember somehow my sister Susan was there. I didn't want to do the quest anymore. I wanted to talk to my sister, who was dead. But then I knew that I could do both. So I said, "Self, go chase the frogs while I talk to Susan." And I saw myself go running after the frogs. And I started talking to Susan.


      And that is all I remember. I am pretty sure that there were a couple of other parts of the dream that I don't remember.

    10. 1st Serial RPG Task Completed night of 10/14/11

      by , 10-17-2011 at 04:09 PM
      non-lucid - black
      lucid - blue

      For the past couple nights I've been trying to be lucid but I'm always half-awake and not fully in a dream. 2 nights ago I had an epic LD. At first I wasn't lucid and was in some kind of story. I dreamt of this guy that looked like my bf in reality but wasn't my my bf since it was not his energy signature. I dreamt of meeting this guy in class. He sat behind me annoying me. I somehow dreamt little by little we were getting romantically linked. Suddenly I dreamt my family and I were vacationing in the Philippines, my homecountry. My sisters and I went there with my dad. I don't remember the reason why we were there but I remembered we were only gonna stay there for 1 week. I was there in PI but somehow it looked like I was in my house in the USA. But at random times it evolved to the house in PI, my grandma's house to be exact. I would randomly see myself in the 3rd person at random times as well. Suddenly it was as if 1 week passed and my mom came to take us back to USA. We went back home and suddenly I saw that mysterious guy again. He started to put his arms around me like my bf in waking life would. In the dream i forgot i had a bf in waking life. I wasn't lucid yet. In the dream I thought I was dating two people. That mysterious guy in USA and a girl in PI. WEIRD . We were walking near shops and stores near my house, then he asked me "Have you decided to be in a formal relationship w/ anyone yet?" I replied "Yes." and he answered "To that girl isn't it?" and I said "No, to you." We suddenly stopped walking in front of a band that was playing and he raised his fist in front of them. Like he was happy that I said yes to him. As we were walking, we were suddenly in a restaurant.

      That's when I remembered my bf in waking life. I remembered in waking life my bf warned me he had an LD of me being with another guy that looked exactly like him but was not him. That dream hurt him and so I wanted to change what was happening and ran away from the guy. I became lucid then lost it.

      I was suddenly in a hotel lobby with 2 girls. For some reason I started fighting with both of them.

      I became fully lucid when I was fighting with them remembering I was dreaming. I became lucid and tried to stay in the dream by touching the floor, the wall, the furniture, etc. I remembered reading the tutorial in DV about stabilizing the dream to make it more clear I just had to look at both my hands and say "Stabilize dream" out loud and everything would be more clear and vivid. At first it didn't work. I kept fighting with the 2 bitches. Suddenly I thought "Why am I wasting my lucidity fighting these 2 worthless girls for no reason?". I repeated the stablize dream technique and this time it worked one girl's face became really clear. I remembered she was a white girl wearing a tight black dress; the other girl I don't remember too much of. I kept fighting them trying to take control of the dream at the same time to stop and do other things but they kept coming at me and I had to keep fighting. I wanted to control the dream so they'd stop or I win but it didn't happen yet. Suddenly the scene changed and I was in an auditorium with people dressed up like they were important. The 2 girls I was fighting with were also there but they weren't fighting me instead they sat quietly in one of the red chairs. The so-called important people were discussing about a movie that I was making all of a sudden. I thought "I'm making a movie?"

      I lost lucidity in this part a little and went along. The people were saying things like they were excited about my movie since it's gonna be the first movie in today's generation where no use of stunt doubles or special effects is needed in a blockbuster. So then it connected I was fighting the 2 girls for a movie. REAL fighting though. I suddenly got scared and thought if the ppl saw how we were fighting in the movie like REAL fighting I would get sued.

      I suddenly regained full lucidity and I flew upwards right out of the ceiling. This is when my successful dream control was beginning in this dream. I suddenly remembered what i wanted to do, I wanna join the serial dreaming RPG. I wanted to get to Denn. I tried spinning while closing my eyes but it didn't work. So instead I flew up I always have no trouble flying nowadays in dreams. I flew straight up first with my fist pumped up to the sky like Wonderwoman. Then when I felt like i was high enough I changed to flying horizontally. It was a night with lots of stars. I always seem to be in the night with stars in my dreams. I wanted to have more fun. I remembered reading Mancon's "diff ways of flying" and tried flying on a broomstick across the sky. I summoned it by looking away imagining it's there and suddenly it was when i looked back. I flew on it but was quickly bored i like flying without depending on any object but my own ability and body it's more fun for me lol I remembered reading from DV i could use flying to get me wer I wanted to go. I wanted to get to Denn. I was trying to control my dream to get there. I know my imagination and my mind is the only limit in a dream. I wanted to get to Denn. I was telling myself it's there. I looked down at the dark night and saw a town full of lights. When I flew down it wasn't Denn though. I was in a wooden house. While I was in the dream I could hear noises from waking life. My sisters turned on the television and I could hear it while I dreamt. I would constantly have to re-stabilize in the dream by touching and looking to my hands and reapeating "Stabilize dream". It worked like a charm. Things would always be really clear. I suddenly saw my mom, dad, and sisters come into the strange house. I remembered that in waking life I had to get up early since my family and I had to go somewhere. For one moment I was half-awake but I went back to the dream by not moving. I flew upwards straight out of the ceiling again.I jumped back on track on trying to get to Denn. I suddenly saw WakingNomad and told him wer I was trying to get to. He took me straight to Denn suddenly and told me to get dressed up for my costume which was weird. Instead I headed straight into the forest of Denn it literally looked like medieval times. I went in the forest and saw a huge standing oval mirror. I looked in the mirror, re-stabilized myself in the dream and saw myself clearly. This is the first time I looked in the mirror in a dream. I saw how I looked. It was me. I looked like a WITCH dressed in some kind of red. Not all in red but I was wearing a red skirt and my top was light beige and pink kind of color like light salmon in color. I knew I was a witch when I stared at my reflection. I came back to the townsquare of Denn and there WakingNomad reappeared. He was about to go it seemed but then i said "I wanna share this dream w/ other ppl" Then he was like "follow me". We suddenly appear in a girl's house. The girl was on her bed, using a labtop. WakingNomad introduces me "This is Raven Knight ". All I could remember was that in the dream she had long straight hair. I asked her "You know this is a dream right?" She answered back "Yes." Then I said "Then y r u using a labtop?" lol. Raven then put the labtop aside for some reason. Suddenly my 2 sisters form earlier pop up agen. I said to WakingNomad and Raven Knight "Let's go guys!" I then try flying out of Raven Knight's ceiling. I break through the celing but there's another layer. WakingNomad then says " Raven has 30 layers up there" The I looked at the window but it wouldn't stay completely up for me 2 fly through it. So we walked out of the house. LOL. We were walking. It was daylight. We were walking on a cobbled sidewalk. It was some kind of old town. I don't know if we were still in Denn. I suddenly became bored of walking and started flying a couple inches off the ground. I summoned a hover board to come to me. Felt cool . Then suddenly my bf comes in and throws a reals sk8board to me. I'm suddenly skateboarding past WakingNomad nearly crashing into him. Suddenly I notice my 2 sisters following me. I then tell them to stay away or go away for some reason and they eventually did. As me, raven , and WakingNomad were walking/floating I woke up.

      Completed the 1st task yay! I noticed in this dream, my control developed slowly within the dream but nonetheless I had fun!

    11. i cant walk

      by , 10-16-2011 at 11:42 PM (Tales from the sun chaser.)
      The following takes place during the span of several dreams due to the fact that I was in non REM.

      I remember being under my oak tree outdoors, and I couldn't walk. It took me all my power to stand up. It was almost as if both of my knees would keep giving out on me.

      I'm in my house, and N starts giving me a haircut. He says my clippers are messed up, so he's just going to stop right then and there. Obviously I'm like "wtf!?" because I have class tomorrow. Something else was talked about...I think he wanted me to fix or build a computer.

      I'm in my room, and my brother walks in and he's trying to talk to me about something, but I'm on the game, and it's probably something critical.

      I'm at a dinner with my daughter, and some annoying guy holds his kid up next to me. I tell him that I don't smell anything because I have a dad nose. My daughter gets the kid and tries to change his diaper. She has most of it done, but she didn't put the straps on correctly (it was really complicated in the dream like a series of folds and crap).

      I'm talking to my sister-n-law about my problems walking. We're in a white room, but the sun is making it a little yellowish. I try to show her how it's so hard to walk. My knees knees almost hurt while standing. They give way and fall. I tell her "this is feeling almost like those dreams I was having earlier." That's when I spontaneously realize that I'm dreaming, and fly around a bit. The problem of walking still remained though. Eventually I woke up.

      I was walking down what looked like the hallway of my old Jr High school... and a girl i used to know backthen walked out of a classroom and handed me a black marker as she walked by..so i went into the room where she walked out of and rthere was a 5 or 6 stair staircase on the back wall leading to a door to what seemed to be the outside...i walked up the stairs and as i turned to the right to open the door, the door opened and what i believe was windhover walked in and stood infront of me, blocking the way...she was about 4 inches shorter than me..i'm about 5' 9" black hair, big smile on her face, and she was wearing pajamas covered with groundhogs of every color imagineable...i became lucid at that point and said windhover! i'mthe beastofold form dreamviews! you're dreaming! and she put her hand out and said, I knwo who you are and yes i'm dreaming, and you're not deep enough in to enter katsuno's mind..he would't liek it if you woke him up! i said..um..ok...what now? and she said......its your dream, do whatever you like! i said ok, in that case, i want to go through this door! maybe i can at least reach, or find chichen itza.....she looked up then back at me and said, you'd better listen to your dog first..at that point i heard my dog panting in my ear..thats how she tells me she has to go out...and i woke up....and as i do every night for as long as i can remem,ber..i woke up at exactly 4:16 A.M.

    13. Weird lucid dream after waking

      by , 10-16-2011 at 05:09 PM
      I've totally been slacking lately with the dream journaling, but I figured I'd write this weird experience down. I woke up several times this morning, and kept immediately falling asleep. I was having this (non-lucid) dream about me and a friend (I don't know who) at a theme park type thing. It was huge and took up a whole canyon. The problem was that there were bad guys in the park that wanted to hurt us. So we fought the bad guys.

      We kept finding "loot" as if we were playing a roguelike. I found a ring that let me fly, run incredibly fast, hit incredibly hard, and jump incredibly high. I used it to fight the bad guys, but if I ever used it for doing something other than fighting bad guys, it would disappear and I'd have to get it from the spot that I got it from last time. Over time, it burned my finger from over-use.

      I woke up, remembered my dream briefly, and lied back in the bed with the intention of going back to sleep. I remembered what my dream was about very vividly, and I remembered exactly what I was doing when I stopped dreaming. So then I started imagining what would have happened if I had continued, kind of like a day dream. Over the next couple of minutes, my daydream became a real dream, and I basically picked up where I left off. But then I remembered that I was just daydreaming or something. So I tried to stabilize the dream. It worked. I could still feel myself lying in bed, but I wasn't seeing the back of my eyelids. I started running around, but I realized that I needed to go get the ring to be able to fly. But then I stopped myself and said "Wait, no I don't. This is my dream. I don't need to let a imaginary ring tell me what I can and can't do." So I started jumping and trying to hold myself there, and eventually I could kind of glide. But I wasn't completely successful. So I started running, and I could run as fast as I did with the ring.

      I did some other stuff. Like, I went on the other side of the canyon, and using my new speed, I ran through this zoo exhibit thing they had over there. I remember goats, yaks, and something else. I think I was afraid of the yak. Which is funny because I did lose a level 8 character to a Yak last night on Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (a roguelike). I found a big slide ride, the lady there told me it was like a mile long, and I rode it. And it was cool.

      Then I kamehameha'd some trees cause seriosuly, what's a good lucid dream without shooting laser beams. That didn't really work because I have a hard time imagining what a tree getting destroyed by a laser beam would look like.

    14. 10/16 IOSDP First Experiment

      by , 10-16-2011 at 02:08 PM (The IOSDP shared journal)
      dream 1 - I was at school and met my several friends. fragement

      dream 2 - MILD mantra -> SP hits. I rolled down from my bed and visualized my hand. it was still at night.

      I IMAGINE A SPIDER WEB ATTACHED FROM MY HAND TO KATSUNO! the spider web was glowing. cool.
      first I felt his energy and it seemed really worked. I was amazed that the web vibrated hard.
      I opened the door and followed the web. there was my mom distracting me so I said "mom plz get away I have to follow this web!"
      as I followed, I was floating in the air. there was some kind of forest/ jungle, and finally there was a log house on the grass.

      I saw Katsuno(maybe?) coming out of the house, maybe off to school. he was wearing black shirt. I think he had kind of curly, brown hair...
      I got inside the house and saw his mom. she was making breakfast?
      here the recall is foggy....
      maybe I got shifted into non-LD. I was with Katsuno or a DC and his little brother in a white room. I saw some beehives up on the ceiling.
      Katsuno gave me some chocolate nuts(?). it felt like chewing bread, but tasted like dark chocolate...yummy
      I was worried of bees in the room. I insanely ran around the room and I got shot by a bee on my back. it really hurt.......gahhh
      my toes were getting swollen up. Katsuno tried to heal me.

      I remember the conversation with Katsuno but dont remember when I dreamed this, but it was in the first dream.

      I said: "hey your house is log house right?"
      Katsuno: "what? no... my house is made of brick"
      "-.- really?? the house had a door on the corner of 2 sides of the house..."
      "no, it's not...my house is red-roof house."
      "damn then it was just my imagination. we didnt have shared dream T^T"
      "hey dont find me, practice dream control first."
      "what?! this is IOSDP experiment! I cant ignore it!"

      dream 3 - again MILD and I got brainwashed by Katsuno that I have to practice dream control first so here I did what I wanted to do.
      I transformed into Saya but dont recall anything from this dream.

      dream 4 - again MILD and I rolled from my bed, visualized my hand. I crushed the room window, and I wanted to practice fight in dream!
      I ran to the middle of the car road and I kinda wanted to crash my self into a car. then this white truck came toward me and I positioned myself to get ready,
      but the car stopped infornt of me. then I just wanted to do transforming. suddenly Gumiho came in my head, and did the transforming jutsu from Naruto.
      (this jutsu worked really well for transforming.) I heard pong! sound and saw smoke popping out around me. omigod! I got taller and felt her long hair
      and nine tails!!! and the white hanbok!! I really felt I had her 'aspect'.
      so now I wanted to use magic powers and stuff. I went in this school building and there were some enemies. kids ran out of the building.
      I started to use "geuk(infinite) myul(destroy) sum(power?)!!!" and then BOOOOOOOOM..... the whole building was destoryed, even my dream scene...I woke up.

      dream 5 - FA. I turned my computer on and checked DV. one notification
    15. Had another lucid, but my eyes freaking opened!

      Non-lucid, Lucid

      I woke up just now at around 5:38 AM. Before that, I was sleeping with my back on the bed, and I was thinking of a few images. Then one came by really quick, like it was going inside of a vortex (like the one below, but it was dark blue and the picture was white with a bit of bright colors in it).



      To give you a better realization of what I experienced, watch this video from Code Lyoko when Aelita deactivates a tower.
      (The part at 30 seconds and the rest of the video is what I'm talking about, but it went spiral to the right for me. That same image that I saw in a rectangular medium was about to go into the darkness, I CLENCHED MY FISTS that VERY MOMENT BEFORE IT WAS GONE, then it just came back up.




      Before it went into the vortex, I clenched my fists and thought in my mind that I wanted it back. Then I feel this sudden rush of energy and feel myself laying down. I'm still thinking if I'm trying to induce sleep paralysis, but then my whole body gets bent and then.

      I feel this heavy object on me as I wake up, (I'm having one of those few lucid dreams where it's vivid as heck!)
      (When I was being elevated by the heavy object, it was something like this in this video)
      (around 30 seconds, except I didn't get pierced in the butt xD)


      I was shocked at first, but I sort of repressed the urge to open my eyes in waking life. I decided to do a reality check by pinching my nose, and I was able to breathe, but when I try to exhale air through my nose, I had some difficulty. The heavy object was suddenly elevated, I didn't even bother to look at it. My mind was just clear and aware, and I stood up and decided to look around my surroundings. The light was on,(It wasn't on in waking life) and see that my room is a little wider than it normally is. There is a black chair, and I believe my computer desk was there too,(it's in the living room in waking life). I tried my best not to panic or anything, I have full mobility.

      I wanted to have some medium that I use to remind myself that I am dreaming and to be aware of my senses in the dream world, so I called out "Ball," and a gray ball appeared in my hand that was similar to the knead eraser I had in waking life that I use for drawing.



      Then after I'm really aware that I'm dreaming, I tried to focus on finding my dream guide, but some kind of reflex in me wanted to open up my eyes in waking life, and I've been suggested to let the dream come to me, but trust me, this dream CAME TO ME ALREADY.


      Darn it! Oh well, I'll attempt it again tonight! I really need some help with making myself not open my eyes and learn to use my dream eyes.

      I feel as if I was following a certain technique when I clenched my fists, but I wasn't holding an object that allowed me to see my dream hands.

      It's just that when I have a dream this vivid, it's just so compelling to open your eyes, even though it was vivid enough with my dream eyes.

      I've read most of the popular guides and some that didn't get to have such glorifying recognition, it's just this eye problem that bothers me. If I can just find a way to stop opening them and use my dream eyes, I can get on with finding my DG.
